THE CASHORE MARINONETTES on Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 3 PM in the Falls Area Performing Arts Center. Tickets: $23 adults/$13 students

LIFE IN MOTION
Unmatched in artistry, grace and refinement of movement, the internationally acclaimed Cashore Marionettes redefine the art of puppetry. The moving and humorous performance has astounded audiences in Europe, the Far East and across North America including stops at the Kennedy Center, Annenberg Center, Kravis Center, and many others. In the performance Life in Motion, Joseph Cashore presents his collection of marionette masterworks. Characters of depth, integrity, and humanity are portrayed in a full evening unlike anything else in theater today. The performance is a series of scenes taken from everyday life and set to beautiful music by composers such as Beethoven, Vivaldi, Strauss, and Copland. Through a combination of virtuoso manipulation, humor, pathos, classic music, and poetic insight, The Cashore Marionettes take the audience on a journey that celebrates the richness of life. Life in Motion is a powerful, entertaining, surprising, theatrically satisfying, one-of-a-kind evening for adults and young adults. Joseph Cashore has received numerous awards for his artistry including a Pew Fellowship for Performance Art, based upon his artistic accomplishment; a Henson Foundation Grant, an award intended to help promote puppetry to adult audiences; and a Citation of Excellence from the UNIMAUSA, the highest honor an American puppeteer can receive. The Cashore Marionettes are so well conceived and projected, the movement so convincing, the illusion so powerful, that the result is a compelling, unforgettable, theatrical experience.

Food Addicts Anonymous is an organization that believes that Food Addiction is a biochemical disorder that occurs at a cellular level and therefore cannot be cured by willpower or by therapy alone. We feel that food addiction is not a moral or character issue. This Twelve Step program believes that food addiction can be managed by abstaining from (eliminating) addictive foods, following a program of sound nutrition (a food plan), and working the Twelve Steps of the program. After we have gone through a process of withdrawal from addictive foods many of us have experienced miraculous life-style changes. There are no dues or fees required for membership, but only a desire to stop eating addictive foods.

We invite you to join us on the first Tuesday of every month (excluding January 2012) at 7 pm at the Ecumenical Center for Tuesdays with Mauthe.

At this event, we will share our praise and our gratitude for all those who were a part of this ecumenical vision, and will highlight the person who took the baton of leadership.

We will hear Fr. Dick recall the tales of the past and inspire us for the best that is yet to come. Much has happened over the past forty years. Help us remember, help us celebrate, and help us believe in that very special future.

The Mauthe Center is located on the campus of UWGB right next to the Kress Center.

A small exhibition of woodcuts by the late Daniel F. Dickhut will be on display in the Mezzanine from December 5, 2011 until February 5, 2012.

The exhibition includes wildlife prints and hand-chiseled woodblocks from which the prints were pulled.

NORML is dedicated to reforming Cannabis laws in Wisconsin for a safer and brighter future for all our citizens and businesses in our state. Cannabis can be used safely and responsibly by adults, and our laws can be reformed to allow harm reduction and compassion to all users, while at the same time, offering our state a new revenue generating industry. Collected taxes and saved criminal justice costs can get reallocated to new schools, teachers, hospitals, police, and public health, so all of Wisconsin can benefit from a more responsible public policy.

We would love to have you attend a meeting and meet the people that want the Marijuana Prohibition to come to an end. We are not a bunch of pot heads but ordinary people just like you. You want to learn about hemp, pot,medical marijuana ... whatever you want to call it, come to a meeting. Marijuana has not caused one death and is the most useful of all the God given plants on earth. Education is the key. Sixteen states now allow medical marijuana for the patients that can benefit from it without deadly side effects. Come, join us, LEARN.

Meetings are run by veteran Richard Martin Jr. from Northern Wisconsin NORML. Rich is also a member of LEAP, MPP, NRA and IMMLY.

Meetings are open to anyone interested in learning the truth about Marijuana, the benefits of ending the PROHIBITION.

HEMP was the number one cash crop in Wisconsin, until Prohibition. WI could use this crop to create jobs NOW. Marijuana is safer than legal alcohol , demand a choice
