Round Table Review

Your 9-5 or that dreaded family reunion might be boring, but the rides there don’t always have to be. This summer, learn the tricks of creative commuting.

Review: Orange Is The New Black By Kaitlin Penn

Check out what the buzz music staff has been listening to this week, and form your own new playlist for the summer.

Video games have never been my forte. When I’m not getting spiked and smashed in Super Smash Bros., I’m double-jumping straight off the edge. The mechanics of Call of Duty have evaded me for years. My proudest achievment playing Halo was figuring out that I could honk the Warthog. But when someone busts out Super Mario Bros. 3, you’d better watch your Goombas: I’m coming for them. Bringing the old NES I found in my grandparents’ basement to college was one of the best decisions I have ever made. For once, I’m the one who plays the game like a pro, pulling off the coolest stunts and wreaking complete havoc across the occupied Mushroom Kingdom. But what appears to the casual observer to be exceptional skill and talent on my part is, in reality, a farce. I played this game for hours on end with my sister as a kid. I know every hidden 1-up and mushroom throughout the first three worlds like it’s my job. I visit Coin Heaven every chance I get, not because I need the coins or the extra lives—if you don’t have at least 15 lives by the time you curb stomp the first Koopaling, you’re doing it wrong—but simply because I can. My advantage feels insanely unfair whenever I play with friends, but I suppose that must be close to how those same friends feel when they lap me (again) in Mario Kart. After a while, though, the gameplay can get a bit stale. So I recently compromised my integrity for the sake of sport: I found a Super Mario Bros. 3 walkthrough online. I’m already familiar with most of the secret spots in the levels, but the walkthrough has pointed out a few things to me that I never would have caught on my own. In the first world alone, the way I play the game has been totally revolutionized. For example, if you complete the first level with a matching number of coins (11, 22, 33, etc.), a matching second-to-last digit in your score (...10, ...20, ...30, etc.) and finish on an even time, the Hammer Bro. later in the world transforms into a Coin Ship. This walkthrough has breathed new life into those first few worlds, reinvigorating my love for Super Mario Bros. 3. There’s plenty more secrets to unlock, but I won’t share them here—after all, I have to maintain my edge somehow.

Think before you wink.

LIKES, GRIPES & YIKES

LIKE SEASON OF THE WITCH BY MELISA PUTHENMADOM This summer, the Rare Book & Manuscript Library presents “Fire Burne and Cauldron Bubble: Witchcraft at the Dawn of Modernity,” an exhibition exploring the West’s long-term fascination with witchcraft and demonology using early printed texts from the library’s collection. The displays are rotated every semester with work from the University, guest curators, graduate assistants and professors. The 21 displayed books, curated by graduate assistant David Morris, offer glimpses of engravings, diagrams and yellowing pages from Medieval times to the Enlightenment. “Witch trials—and executions—occurred in parts of Europe during the lifetimes of such harbingers of modernity as Adam Smith, Immanuel Kant and Voltaire,” Morris’s introduction explains, explaining sorcery’s influence on a turbulent Christian society. The exhibit’s title comes from Shakespeare’s Macbeth, a tragedy deeply embedded in popular perceptions of witchcraft. As a part of the exhibit, Morris includes Shakespeare’s First Folio (perhaps one of the library’s most well-known acquisitions) among exorcism pamphlets, witch trials and scholarly debates, which discuss that the blending of popular and obscure is what makes witchcraft an enduring interest. This wicked exhibit is open Monday-Friday until August 8 in the room 346 of the Main Library.

» Man Drinking Monster in Meijer: It’s Monday night and there’s a storm brewing in Champaign. The sky is getting dark and the winds are beginning to howl. I’m inside of a barren Meijer, checking out and ready to go home. This trip to the grocery store had been uneventful and quiet, unlike my other visits there when I witnessed a near-fist fight in the check-out aisle or when I saw a lady purposefully drive into an old man for presumably walking too slow. As I check out my final item, something to my left catches my eye. Inside the children’s clothing section, I see quick head movements becoming visible through the size 12 pajamas. I wasn’t mistaken: It was a man drinking Monster as fast as he possibly could and looking frantically in both directions. This wasn’t John Dillinger, but in Meijer there’s a chance he could be. When he spotted me starring at him, confused, from the aisle, he immediately found a place under some children’s clothes to ditch the can and run out of the store. It doesn’t take much to make a grocery trip memorable and this did the trick. Way to go, Monster Man.

SEQUELS OF THE SEASON

Certain summer successors surprisingly triumph over originals BY ALEX WEN

Used with permission from Twentieth Century Fox

Used with permission from Columbia Pictures

On

June 13, two of the most hotly anticipated sequels came out to blockbuster results. How to Train Your Dragon 2 and 22 Jump Street are both well on their way to surpassing $100 million worldwide. It’s not especially noteworthy that blockbuster sequels can be successful. However, for blockbuster sequels to not only be critically acclaimed, but also surpass their predecessors is a rare feat. Hollywood loves sequels. There’s a reason that Transformers 5 is already in development before the fourth, Transformers: Age of Extinction, is even out. It’s easy money and a safe bet for film studios. Not coincidentally, Hollywood sequels are also often the bane of film enthusiasts’ existences. When these sequels sell like hotcakes, their primary reason for existing becomes about filling movie executive pockets instead of embodying genuine artistic expression. That’s not to say most movies don’t exist to make money: Directors need to put food on their table, too. However, it means that even when a story is done, if there’s more money to make, the show must go on. The result? A lot of franchises run to the ground, resulting in poor remakes, and a large number of bad sequels. Thankfully, 22 Jump Street and How to

4 buzz July 3-10, 2014

Train Your Dragon 2 both manage to transcend the success of their predecessors with the elegance of Toothless’s aerobatics. It would be absurd to force an amateur painter to add elements to a Picasso painting and claim that it was previously unfinished. Yet, this is how many Hollywood franchises are born. After initial success, studios (who own the rights) greenlight a sequel (sometimes directly against the wishes of directors) and produce a followup. This often leads to inferior sequels that don’t have the same quality and lack the original’s narrative authenticity. How to Train Your Dragon 2 and 22 Jump Street circumvent this issue by performing the cinematic equivalent of inviting Picasso back to improve his paintings. Having the original directors return to their film franchises better preserves the artistic vision set out for these movies. Moviegoers are a fickle bunch, though. They want more of the same, but they want something unique and different, too. Remember the runaway success of The Hangover formula? What about when the same thing is done two more times? As the Rotten Tomatoes scores show, the original had a respectable 79% for its nonstop humor and clever script. The sequels got

ratings of 34% and 19%, with critics none-tooimpressed with the rehashes. Even audiences were less receptive, as although The Hangover 2 was a box office success, the third Hangover struggled to entice watchers. Nobody wants to watch the same plot because they already experienced it when they saw the first film. 22 Jump Street solves the issue of originality by tackling it head on. The sequel is a tongue-incheek critique of action and comedy films, referencing its sequel status multiple times. While 21 Jump Street derived much of its humor from the situational dynamic of two adults as high schoolers, 22 Jump Street works as a smart satire. Audiences get to see their favorite stars go through the same zany action sequences, but they’re laughing for all the different reasons. Similarly, How to Train Your Dragon 2 retains key components from the first film, but expands it in a different direction. The sequel opens featuring a thrilling ride with Hiccup and Toothless: It captures the mystical wonderment that made the original so enticing. While the first movie was all about connecting humans (and the audience) with dragons, the dragons become a backdrop in the sequel for what is really a movie about family. What was the main narrative focus

of the original film becomes a narrative tool in the sequel, and this shift in focus allows audiences to experience something new while being immersed in the same fictional world they’ve come to love. These sequels’ ability to break into a new direction is even more impressive, since comedies and children’s animations are often boxed in by Hollywood perceptions. Comedies are often perceived as the most lowbrow of entertainment, but the sequels this season prove that certain members of the genre are much more ambitious than expected. 22 Jump Street not only delivers the laughs, but delivers to audiences a clever message on its place in Hollywood. It has enough jokes to keep the audiences satisfied, but it also leaves them with some food for thought. Likewise, How to Train Your Dragon 2 doesn’t let its stigma of being a children’s film from tackling mature familial issues. With both of these films well on their way to being just as commercially successful—if not more so—than their predecessors, they serve as reminders that the number two does not necessarily mean adding another one of the same. After all, it’s a totally new number with twice the possibilities.

My seat is very warm right now. I don't know if that is concerning or comforting. 2014-07-03_3-4PAGE_BUZZ

THE REBIRTH OF A BUTCHER SHOP Urbana “pop-up” shop looks to the future BY PAUL ANGELILLO

The former butcher shop makes way for pop-up shops. Photo by Diana Diggs

N

ews that the Urbana Butcher Shop was to close its doors shocked customers nearly three weeks ago. The announcement, made on Facebook, cited the struggle community businesses face during the summer, and declared that the shop had hit a “financial wall” that could not be recovered from. The butcher shop was the sort of unapologetic place that would proudly display the cuts of goat and lamb and different animal heads in the window and, more than simply selling its wares, would converse and work with its patrons to prepare exact cuts that would otherwise be hard to find. Each of those cuts, mind you, would be locally sourced and subject to strict, personal standards of quality and expertise of preparation that simply could not be beat in CU. It was a throwback to the butchers of old, and it developed a legion of passionate customers that made sure to outpour their disappointment at the store’s fate online. Though tinged with sadness and regret, the closing did not mean the complete end to activities at the shop. With so many passionate customers and a lease on the space for another year, the team has decided to convert the space into “a commercial kitchen/pop-up restaurant dinner headquarters,” offering a rotation of different chefs and culinary concepts a home. A la carte, no reservation and cash only, the pop-

6 buzz July 3-10, 2014

ups aim to be a to the point “badass restaurant extravaganza” in Urbana. The first pop-up was headed by Chef Dan Garrison, who had recently come on to work at the butcher shop after bouncing around several kitchens in the area. While the sudden closure was surely a bitter pill for Garrison to swallow, the chef took the dinner’s turnout as a positive sign, acknowledging the sort of leap a $40-per-plate dinner, the first of its kind in the location, represented. BYOB only, most diners embraced the chef’s suggested pairing of a sparkling wine or pinot noir while water, iced tea and coffee were all made available throughout the meal. The seating arrangements, two large tables fitting up to 10 each, gave the event a further, communal feel with conversation buzzing at both ends of the space for the duration of dinner. The crowd indeed varied, but all present were enthusiastic to taste and disucss the food as well as mourn the loss of the butcher shop. Meanwhile, the open kitchen—now unobstructed by the butcher’s display—maintained a sense of flow and intimacy as both the dishes and their cook eased their way across the room. Chef Garrison introduced each of his creations with a loving sort of ownership and pride that brought smiles to diners’ faces. The started, a chilled Chioggia beet soup with mojito mint and Spanish chorizo, titillated the palate, with the

spicy sausage providing the perfect counterpunch to the cool, sweet refreshment of the beets. What followed was a composed salad featuring a secret mix of spicy greens, assorted sliced vegetables and an autumn berry vinaigrette. The texture and crispness of the salad was undeniably, delightfully fresh while the autumn berry made a surprisingly flavorful dressing. The star of the show was undoubtedly the deep fried, cornmeal crusted rabbit Chasseur served with Hunter’s Sauce, braise and mashed purple top turnips and Southern style Swiss chard and kale with butcher’s bacon. The rabbit, though a tough sell for many, was as crisp and succulent as any fried chicken anywhere. Meanwhile, the mashed turnips acted as perfect, smooth ,faux mashed potatoes. The Swiss chard and kale–mixed with a bit of honey–melted in the mouth and formed a perfect partnership with the fatty, tender bacon chunks. Autumn berries made another appearance during dessert as a gelato, nestling itself between two additional scoops of house made vanilla gelato to make for a perfect ending. The dishes were all substantial portions and, in sum, formed a satisfying meal that justified the asking price while pulling no punches in celebrating the very best local ingredients available around Central Illinois. Far from showing any sign of slowing down,

the shop’s next pop-up event is already scheduled for this coming Monday, July 7. Instead of another pay-in-advance, formal dinner, the event, titled Shack Series Vol. 1: Smoke Shack, will be offering first come first serve barbecue sandwiches, platters and sides celebrating the Carolina, Texas and Kansas City regional styles. Spearheaded by Chef Josh Boyd, the selections of pulled pork, Texas beef brisket, smoked chicken and more—all locally sourced and lovingly prepared—is sure to draw a crowd to the shop. Though Boyd hosted Taco Shack, Lobster Shack and Fried Chicken Shack dinners at Carmon’s, the pop-ups now look to become a staple at the butcher shop, continuing throughout all of this year and next on the first Monday of every month. Though shanks, ribs and sausages have yielded to one-night dinners and classes, Urbana Butcher Shop seems far from relinquishing its influence on CU’s food scene. Though others might’ve accepted defeat and cut their losses, the team should be celebrated for putting their cleaver between their teeth and delivering delicious food to Urbana, one way or another.

Hank. plays its final show Saturday BY SEAN NEUMANN

It

had been agreed it was a good three years. Sitting around a small coffee shop booth, the members of Hank. laughed about a story from a previous tour. The four-piece emo band was staying at a house in Columbus, Ohio. The tenants there had a human-sized blow up doll named Randy, a gift from a former girlfriend for when she wasn’t around, guitarists Teddy Lerch and Ryan Brewer explained. The idea was hysterical to the two, but they mostly crack up at Randy’s presentation. The doll was life-sized, expressionless, and had a little red heart innocently drawn on the wrong side of the chest. “We could tell tour stories for a week straight,” bassist Darwin Keup said in agreement with his bandmates. And seemingly, they could. After three years, three demo releases, plenty of tours and a full-length album, Hank. produced countless memories for its four members, but soon the band will be another one on its own. The VU band is officially breaking up after its July 5 show at Mike 'N' Molly’s, the same location the band celebrated the release party for its debut album Pinched. “We agreed that we were splitting up a few months ago,” Lerch said. “What might be news to some people is already in the background of our thoughts.” Hank.’s intricate song-writing and mix of styles is what made the band one of the most recognizable and popular in the CU music scene. The four members each brought a different trait to Hank. Lerch’s emo-driven writing style somehow found a way to complement perfectly with Brewer’s melodic hike up the guitar neck, while Keup’s energetic live performance on bass provided a glimpse into a world where nu metal was draped in punk. All happening while drummer

Nelson Cowan’s near-robotic movement behind the drumset kept the three others bound together in perfect tempo, holding his drumsticks halfway up like a scrappy lead-off hitter who rarely fails to get on base. That’s the thing that made Hank. the wonder it was. If you spent too long watching Keup punch at the air in between notes, you might miss Lerch slightly leaning back, keeping his balance just enough to gauge the perfect hold on his guitar neck in order to tap out another baffling riff. There was so much going on, in both sound and performance, that each time Hank. played, it managed to be something new. But the problem is, what made Hank. killed Hank. The band’s unnaturally contrasting styles ultimately led to fed-up sessions where the musical direction became disputed. In style, Hank. was bound to split up and after three years; the four musicians made a veteran decision to pull the plug before the bulb burned out. As Lerch explained, the decision was communal between the four friends. If there was ever a comfortable way for a band to break up, Hank.’s final chapter is the one at end of that book. Lerch happily explains the soon-to-be former bandmates’ living situation, which has them still occupying a home together in Champaign, dubbed the “Hunk. House” (the name is spelled “Hank,” but the “a” is flipped upside down to be read as a “u”). The residence is already a host to punk shows for local and touring bands and is also the host for Punk Rock BBQ Day festivities, a new Champaign holiday signed in by Mayor Don Gerard and campaigned for by Keup, himself. The four members’ friendship is still vibrant in conversation, as if the band’s split hasn’t changed a thing between them. If anything, as Lerch explained, the split had a positive impact on their friendship. "For three years my priority was in

Hank., but on the other side, it was sort of a relief," Lerch said. “Near the end, there was a bit of tension and, there was a weight being lifted off, and I feel like it’s still for the best.” The band’s split was tough to swallow at first, Keup said, but each member has moved on musically and have already started new projects. “It sucks that it ended the way that (Hank.) is—just done—but it’s not going to make us not play instruments,” Keup said. “I don’t know how to not play bass.”

“NEAR THE END, THERE WAS A BIT OF TENSION AND, THERE WAS A WEIGHT BEING LIFTED OFF, AND I FEEL LIKE IT’S STILL FOR THE BEST.” - TEDDY LERCH The band experienced a lot during their three years together, including three different lineups. Enta guitarist Daniel Lee was an original founder of the band, Lerch said, but eventually left the band, leaving them as a three-piece in 2012. Ryan Brewer, who ended his project Good Night and Good Morning in 2013 and recorded Hank.’s Chinaski Demos, officially joined the band in 2013, just three months before the release of Hank.’s debut album, Pinched. “They went into the studio and did all their stuff, and I ended up taking the raw, unmixed songs and I sat in my room for three straight days and just wrote and recorded,” Brewer said. “I recorded all my parts to the record within three days and almost drove myself insane in the process.” Brewer’s addition to the band was noticeable, launching Hank. into new genres and putting them

over as one of the best local bands. Pinched. landed at the number two spot on buzz’s Best CU Albums of 2013 list and number three on Smile Politely’s. Hank. not only made a name for themselves in CU, but throughout the Midwest as arguably the best emo band in Champaign—a central point in the Midwest music scene. But much like the Randy doll from Columbus, Hank.’s anatomy wasn’t in the right place: They realized the pieces are better fit somewhere else. For Lerch and Cowan, they believe their tight-knit emo sound is best fit in their new band Daukis, while Keup found a fit for his intense stage presence in the loud, Springfield-based band Our Lady. Brewer’s technicality is able to live on through an upcoming solo effort, and his work behind the scenes continues through the production of folkmusician Doby Watson’s new record. “When we started, we weren’t sure what kind of music we wanted to make,” Cowan said after Keup explained there was a lack of agreement between the members about the band’s musical direction. “I think we know a little bit more about that now.” What made Hank. a cultured band is also what led to its split. Pinched. will always remain a tangible memory for the CU music scene while for those in Hank., personal stories from tour like Randy will remain as a reminder that the band’s three-year run was accomplished, and one Lerch said he’s proud to look back on. “I’ve probably left Illinois only a few times in my life before we toured,” Lerch said, telling more stories from tour. “Hank. is what made me see the ocean for the first time.” Catch Hank.’s final show this Saturday at Mike 'N' Molly’s with Woodie and Animals in Human Attire.

CONVERSATION PIECES

When the Xpress’ speakers are booming, so is community innovation BY CARLY GUBBINS

efore it was transformed into the giant boom box structure that it is today, the Hip Hop Xpress was an old, beat-up trailer that was being used for karaoke. With no money to spend, University Professor William Patterson secured the trailer that would continue his community engagement project on the last day of its sale. “I said to the seller, ‘Man, I got to have this vehicle... I promise the University will pay you.' Ultimately, he gave it to me in good faith,” Patterson said. After all the research, dedication and passion Patterson has put into the trailer, he could use some of that good faith right about now. The Hip Hop Xpress is quite literally a conversation piece for Patterson’s larger project, N Search of Hip Hop, which recognizes extraordinary genius in urban communities “where people do extraordinary things in spite of their social conditions,” Patterson explained. What the Xpress trailer, which is really a fully-equipped recording studio, exists "to set up and inspire change for conditions of urban spaces. It creates the possibilities for folks who are doing ghetto genius, if you will," Patterson said. The Xpress has come a long way, but it’s not going anywhere. No, seriously. The trailer sits due to the lack of funding Patterson needs to keep those wheels (and records) spinning. Patterson received a public engagement grant for this project in 2010. During the project’s pi-

lot run, Patterson took the Xpress to the Bristol Park neighborhood, a re-developing community. When some visitors asked him how much it would cost to record in the Xpress, Patterson replied, "It doesn’t cost you anythingm as long as you make sure the block is safe." When Patterson discovered that these people had a recording studio in their house, it dawned on him: Solar power. "That’s an entry point for families that may have limited means, but a lot of them have big screen TVs and things like that," he said. "I wanted them to use trailer to introduce them to the energy costs in operating their house and their recording studio so that they have money for other things." So, Patterson started doing research on University professors who study solar power and energy efficiency. Patterson was able to work with Engineering professor Philip Krein, who suggested that a senior design class turn the trailer into a solar-powered recording studio as a project. Patterson is amazed by the work the work that the College of Engineering has done. The engineering students were able to create mechanisms that would allow Patterson to record in the Xpress for one hour using solar power alone, "which is a significant piece considering that, in some of these spaces, we don’t have power," Patterson said. The technology has been built, but it has not been installed. "I don’t think that installation will occur

unless another professor picks it up or I end up working in some capacity," Patterson said. However, Patterson will be teaching an Engineering 198 elective in the fall called "Decoding Dr. Dre: Adventures in Urban Engineering." "I don’t know if we’ll be able to use that class as a part of the Hip Hop Xpress, but I’m really more about orientating students to the ideas of how someone like Dr. Dre created and produced a company like Beats Audio to this, now, conglomerate that has evolved through Apple,” Patterson said. The Xpress is a pretty amazing concept that has “potential for greatness,” as Patterson said. Other universities have expressed interest in what Patterson is doing, but he has yet to explore those options. "I love the U of I. This is my hometown, so I’m very interested in the Orange and Blue going to the next level in this area," Patterson said. "What I’m excited about is that everyone who hears about Hip Hop Xpress wants to see the trailer in action… so, I’m very eager to continue the work, but I’m not at the position to continue the work because I don’t have a funded position," Patterson said. It’s great that people are excited about the Xpress, and Patterson is very grateful for the progress the project has made. However, "it takes a lot of people to get inspired and keep the conversation going," he said. Today, that seems nearly impossible with-

out social media. Patterson created a Facebook page, Twitter and blog for his N Search of Hip Hop and Hip Hop Xpress, but they have not been updated in a while. Not being from the Social Media Generation is only a part of what has kept him from updating the accounts. "I’ve been in such survival mode,” Patterson said, "that it’s been not having the flexibility to have a lot of time to do it and figure out how to survive." Here’s what Patterson envisions the social media to be used: He’s hoping that, through funding and a professorship that supports having the Hip Hop Xpress "inspires someone to say, 'Well, I’m going to tweet about this,'" and so on. "The project has been very organic for me in that way. I find people that are very interested in it and pick up stuff, taking it to the next level," Patterson said. Patterson is interested in getting young people within the community talking and thinking about their possibilities. Getting these kids to realize that their interests and skills can be applied in an educational and professional capacity is key. It is a way to establish themselves "in a society that does not know how to engage them," Patterson said. "Timing is of the essence," Patterson said about the Xpress. "Young people are seeing the possibilities and, they’re doing great stuff, so we just want to capture it."

A CREATIVE COLLECTION Parkland College’s “Through the Decades� exhibit showcases years of student talent BY ANWEN PARROT T

T

he exhibit currently on display in Parkland College’s Gietz Gallery is a unique one. While many exhibitions are shaped by a shared theme or focus on the works of one or two related artists, Parkland’s "Through the Decades" showcases over four decades of student work, creating a collection of pieces that are as varied as they are captivating. In the early 1970s, the Fine and Applied Arts Department at Parkland began purchasing particularly strong student works at the end of each academic year. These pieces were added to Parkland’s permanent collection of artwork, which serves as a model of what effective and well-executed art looks like. Although these drawings and paintings are examined and appreciated in art classes and occasionally put on display throughout the halls of Parkland College, they are seldom seen by the remainder of the community. "Through the Decades" presents a rare opportunity to open the collection up to those outside of campus. Gallery director and co-curator Lisa Costello was strongly in favor of opening the collection up to the public. “Right now, Laura O’Donnell, the collections coordinator, and I are focusing a lot of our energy on the student collection,� Costello said. "So this was a great opportunity to highlight what we have accomplished with the collection, and show many of the really successful works that have been created in the Art and Design program at Parkland over the years. (We wanted to) highlight the collection as a whole and see it as a living, visual archive of the artwork that has been and continues to be a

part of Parkland College," she said. "Through the Decades" contains a variety of two-dimensional works as well as a few recently created three-dimensional pieces. "We wanted to include pieces from all of the decades—1970s to current works," Costello said. "There are oil paintings, watercolor, charcoal, pastels, collage, color-theory studies, prints and graphite drawings." The inclusion of three-dimensional pieces, however, posed a challenge. The Art and Design program at Parkland extends far beyond two-dimensional works; the exhibit would be incomplete without them, yet the limitations of space and funds proved problematic. "Unfortunately, we don’t have space to properly store and care for three-dimensional works of art," Costello said. "Because we don’t collect 3-D works of art, Chris Berti, who teaches Sculpture, 3-D Design, and Ceramics, loaned us some wire sculptures completed by students in 3-D Design. They are pretty amazing when you see that they are three-dimensional drawings in wire!" There are noticeable differences in the styles of art produced from era to era, adding to the "fullnes" of the collection; the major commonality lies in the quality of each piece. "What I think is quite impressive is that there have been quality works continuously collected," Costello said. "They withstand the test of time!" The "Through the Decades" exhibit will be on display in the Gietz Gallery through July 24. July 3-10, 2014 buzz 9
