IF YOU’RE INTO COMEDY WITH A BIT OF A DARK TWIST, THE NU THEATRE DEPARTMENT HAS JUST THE SHOW FOR YOU.  “BABY WITH THE BATHWATER” BY CHRISTOPHER DURANG IS RUNNING AT THE THEATRE-AT-THE-CHURCH IN LEWISTON THIS WEEKEND AND NEXT, WITH SHOWS THIS WEEKEND FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AT 7:30, AND SUNDAY AT 2. ALL NU STUDENTS GET ONE FREE TICKET TO THE SHOW, PROVIDED SEATING IS AVAILABLE, UPON SHOWING THEIR STUDENT ID CARD.

 

SOMETIMES IT’S HARD TO TELL IF YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY OR DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THIS KIND OF STORY. NIAGARA FALLS POLICE WENT IN TO A TRAILER PARK LOOKING FOR A FUGITIVE INVOLVED WITH AN ONGOING GANG VIOLENCE CASE AND DIDN’T FIND HIM. HOWEVER, THEY DID FIND DRUGS, A LOADED GUN, AND A “PERSON OF INTEREST” INVOLVED WITH THE MURDER OF LELTON KEMP, THE YOUNG MAN SHOT DOWN EARLIER THIS WEEK. THE TRAILER SEARCHER DID APPEAR TO BE LINKED TO THE GANG AND DRUG RING, HOWEVER, AND ARRESTS ARE EXPECTED.

 

AN EFFIGY OF PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS HUNG UPSIDE DOWN AT A RHODE ISLAND HIGH SCHOOL BY A TEACHER... PRESIDENT OBAMA HAD CALLED THE FIRINGS OF ALL THE TEACHERS AT CENTRAL FALLS AN EXAMPLE OF HOLDING FAILING SCHOOLS ACCOUNTABLE. THE SUPERINTENDENT FOUND THE EFFIGY IN THE TEACHER'S CLASSROOM ON MONDAY, UPSIDE DOWN HOLDING A SIGN THAT SAID "FIRE CENTRAL FALLS TEACHERS." A STUDENT SAID THE DELIVERY OF THE MESSAGE WAS A MISTAKE. THE TEACHERS' UNION HAS CONDEMNED THE ACTION AND SAID THE UNIDENTIFIED TEACHER HAS VERBALLY APOLOGIZED TO HIS STUDENTS AND WANTS TO APOLOGIZE IN WRITING AS WELL.

 

SOME DANCERS ARE MOVING FROM THE GENTLEMEN'S CLUBS TO THE THEATER, AND ARE COMPETING IN TONIGHT'S 2010 U-S POLE DANCING CHAMPIONSHIP IN NEW YORK! THE U-S POLE DANCE FEDERATION IS HOSTING THE COMPETITION... AND THE DANCERS SAY IT TAKES REAL SKILL TO COMPETE AMONG THE BEST. THE WINNER OF THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GOES ON TO COMPETE FOR THE WORLD TITLE.

 

WELL TODAY LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE OUR LAST REALLY BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR A WHILE, BUT IT’S DETERMINED TO MAKE US REMEMBER IT. A FEW CLOUDS MAY BRUSH THE SKY BUT OTHERWISE IT’S SUNSHINE AND RECORD HIGHS EXPECTED, REACHING UP ALL THE WAY TO SIXTY. TONIGHT SEES MORE CLOUD COVER ROLLING IN, WITH LOWS JUST BELOW FORTY, AND TOMORROW SHOULD STILL BE CLOUDY, WITH HIGHS AROUND FIFTY. SUNDAY’S WHEN IT REALLY BEGINS TO CHANGE, AND THE RAIN IS EXPECTED TO COME BACK, WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE MID FORTIES.
