Artigras! festival returns to New Buffalo with new features June 27-28

N

EW BUFFALO, Mich. — New Buffalo is ready to kick off its summer celebration with its fourth annual ARTigras Festival in Lions Beachfront Park.

Organized and sponsored by the New Buffalo Business Association and Pokagon Fund, the arts and crafts festival is scheduled June 27-28, and offers original works from over 70 artists from Harbor Country and the Midwest region. Items showcased will include paintings, sculpture, glass, photography, drawings, jewelry, wood, ceramics, mixed media, and furniture.

Traditionally held in downtown New Buffalo, the 2015 venue of Lions Park marks a shifting approach in the local festivity.

Cathi Rogers, executive director of NBBA, said she felt the new location would better accommodate this year’s new plans for artcelebration and enthusiastic attraction.

“We felt if we wanted to offer live music, food, wine and beer…it would be easier,” Rogers said.

The past location won’t completely miss the creative activity; ARTigras is introducing new childfocused and family-friendly events, the most notable headliner “Chalk the Walk” literally taking to the streets of downtown New Buffalo.

Children ages 6-12 will get to color and draw with chalk on the local sidewalks Saturday, June 27, from 9 to 11 a.m. They’ll be accompanied by professional chalk-artist

TaraLynn Lake, who will assist in their colorful work while also contributing her own art to the concrete canvas.

“TaraLynn first reached out to me a few months ago and we came up with the idea over the ongoing conversation,” Rogers said.

“It’s exciting…Chalk the Walk gives children a chance to create cool art that also beautifies the downtown area.”

While the chalk will eventually succumb to the elements and friction of foot traffic, three 15-foot tarps will be available for children to paint all weekend for a more lasting exhibit. After the events wrap-up, the young artists and city visitors can admire their collaborative masterpiece throughout the summer, with the tarps approved to be hung on the local fences.

Another lighthearted endeavor takes place Saturday at Lions Park in “Sand Sculptures by Janet Schrader.”

Nicknamed “The Sand Pirate,” Schrader continues her artistry into Sunday at the New Buffalo Beach with the “I Want to be a Mermaid” fundraiser.

Attendees will have a chance to get a picture with their head on a sand-sculpted mermaid body for a fee, benefiting cancer research and patient treatment.

With the added ambiance of musical performances by such acts as Golden Fingers, The Newports, Johnny V and Ah Tu, guests of all ages can expect an artful and enjoyable atmosphere.

Rogers said there will be artist demonstrations and food vendors throughout the festival, and various wineries including Tabor Hill, Round Barn, 12 Corners, Baroda Founder, and Lemon Creek.

While many of the new plans for ARTigras are geared toward the youth, it’s part of a well-balanced approach to the arts that visitors of any age can appreciate and enjoy, while local artists are able to highlight their work.

“Art can be temporary like the chalk or the sand or longstanding to enjoy timelessly,” Rogers said. “[The ARTigras Festival] is truly a celebration of the artist.”

Scope out South Bend

S

OUTH BEND, Ind. — Scope Out South Bend invites the public to borrow a telescope from a St. Joseph County Public Library (SJCPL) to find hidden clues that are visible only with a telescope.

Observers who record six clues in the city-wide scavenger hunt are eligible to win one of three

Galileoscopes and up to $150. Fifteen Galileoscopes distributed at eight SJCPL libraries can be checked out with a library card for a three-week loan.

Participants must complete the hunt and submit their results by Sept. 27 to be eligible to win prizes.

The dozen clues with maps and background informa-

tion are listed online at www.southbendastro.org under Scope Out South Bend.

Scope Out South Bend, funded by an SB150 grant in celebration of South Bend’s sesquicentennial, is coordinated by Dr. Kate Rueff and Chuck Bueter.

The initiative introduces families to observing with

a telescope while exploring South Bend’s past, present, and future highlights.

Clues are hidden near many sites, including the Potawatomi Zoo, the City of South Bend wastewater treatment plant, former Studebaker buildings, libraries, schools, and the St. Joseph County

Courthouse.

The telescopes are also functional for celestial viewing, with the moon, Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus being accessible targets. (In late June, Jupiter and Venus are converging in the western sky after sunset).

No experience is necessary — just a library card.

On Sept. 27 when the Scope Out South Bend challenge concludes, shortly after 9 p.m. is a total lunar eclipse. Observers can simply step outside and witness the phenomenon, with or without telescope.

Details are at the southbendastro.org website under the Local Astro menu.

SPOTLIGHT

Harpeth Rising returns to Niles

N

ILES, Mich. — Since their formation in 2009, Harpeth Rising has been building a reputation by breaking down musical boundaries.

Their virtuosic instrumentals of banjo and violin mixed with cello and foot percussion create an exciting and unique blend of musical genres that include folk, rock, bluegrass, and roots music.

Their original lyrics, conveyed through powerful threepart vocals, are both gritty and poignant. The all-female group met while studying classical music at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and were united — and continue to be driven by — their eclectic musical interests.

Within one year of their formation and their move to Music City, they were voted ‘Best Local Band in Nashville’ by the Tennessean. Harpeth Rising has been touring both nationally and internationally for four years with performances that include the Kerrville Folk Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, London Folk Festival, Blissfest, Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour, Music City Roots, The Bluebird, and ROMP Music Festival.

The trio has recently relocat-

ed to Louisville, Kentucky to be closer to their southern Indiana roots and join the growing eclectic musical and cultural landscape of the region.

After an impressive discography of four studio albums in

four years, Harpeth Rising released their first live album in November of 2014. The album consists entirely of performances at The Dreaming Tree Coffeehouse in Baptistown, New Jersey and includes both

original songs and previously unrecorded covers the trio’s fans had been requesting.

A unique feature of their live shows, Harpeth Rising’s covers range from Led Zeppelin to Pete Seeger with unparalleled fresh-

ness and originality. The trio’s most recent studio album, ‘Tales From Jackson Bridge,’ reached No. 6 on the Folk DJ Charts and No. 15 on the EuroAmericana Charts.

While ‘Tales From Jackson Bridge’ remains true to Harpeth Rising’s folk and classical roots throughout, it expands on their blues, Latin, and rock influences and adds in some new flavors such as Texas Swing and Gypsy Jazz.

This constant innovation combining old and new genres of music, technical mastery, and heartfelt sensibility has earned Harpeth Rising the distinction of one of the most engaging and dynamic new groups in folk music today.

The trio will be returning to Niles to perform at the Riverfront Park Wonderland Stage on Wednesday, July 8 from 5 to 9 p.m. The concert will be interspersed with exciting raffle giveaways and more. Harpeth Rising has performed several years for the Niles Bluegrass Festival, as well as for the Niles Summer Concert Series, and Riverfest.

The concert is free and more information is available at www. harpethrising.com.

Busy schedules are no excuse

L

ately I’ve been running around so much that I’ve just been throwing together the easiest possible meals, swinging through the local healthy food store or bodega across the street for the same basic staples, or, gasp, even having these essentials delivered while I work on something else.

It’s not how any of us want to live our lives, but let’s admit that it happens to us all from time to time.

The important thing iws not to lose our sense of priorities completely by having the tools to stay healthy during times of high stress and over scheduling.

One of my favorite ways to ensure that I have some hearty, healthy sustenance is by keeping the following around at all times: • Sweet potatoes, baking potatoes, or other seasonal potatoes- baked or boiled and ready to eat • Quinoa and milletcooked and ready to toss in

a salad or reheat as a side • Beans (canned and dried), tofu, and tempeh • Mixed salad greens that you can just throw in a bowl • Kale • Fresh parsley • Green or red onion • Carrots, beets, radish, and other root veg • Lemons • Tahini ª A couple types of vinegar and oil • Seasoning salts With that simple list you can put together meal after satisfying meal in minutes.

The potatoes and grains take minutes to cook, stay fresh in the fridge for days, and can be added to any salad or served as a side dish with dinner throughout the week. Beans and tofu add the plant protein you need to keep your energy levels up. Mixed greens are pre washed and loaded with nutrients and fiber, kale can be cooked or dressed in a salad and served best a day or two later. Fresh herbs and onions add a

One of my favorite ways to combine these ingredients is a baked sweet potato and kale salad listed below.

Support your favorite businesses!

1. If using kale, tear from the rib, and massage well while washing. The kale will turn dark green and will break down a bit and become softer.

2. Spin well in a salad spinner to remove moisture.

3. Place all ingredients in a large salad bowl and toss well. If using kale dress right away with balsamic vinaigrette (4 ounces EVOO, 2 ounces balsamic, 1 teaspoon Batti Becco seasoning salt). If using mixed greens, toss immediately before serving.

Acorn Theatre invites you to attend “The Signal” presented by Henry Farag. The Signal breaks the mold of the typical jukebox musical with its grit and diversity.

It’s reminiscence of radio, steel mills, gangs, family, and most notably, Gary’s Vee Jay Records.

The female Black owned label that landmarked the Blues, pioneered R&B, triggered the Four Seasons, introduced the Beatles to the US, role model to Motown & influenced hometowners, The Jacksons. The troupe creates a canvas of hits by The Spaniels, Jerry Butler, Jimmy Reed, The Dells and other hits too. From Gospel to Rock, from Doo Wop to the King of Pop. VIP Seating is available. The event will begin at 8 p.m., and tickets cost $25-$35. Acorn Theatre is located at 107 Generations Drive in Three Oaks.
