Kimberly High School's Advanced Musical Theatre presents "Really Rosie" 

Rosie, the sassiest kid on her block of Brooklyn's Avenue P, entertains herself and her friends by acting out show biz fantasies, notably directing and starring in an Oscar winning movie. With a script by Maurice Sendak (author and illustrator of Where the Wild Things Are and other popular children's books), and an award-winning score by popular singer/songwriter Carole King, Really Rosie is a jewel for children and adults alike.

The Winnebago County Master Gardener Association will offer a series of classes under the theme of Environmental Stewardship during the first half of 2008. 

The program will kickoff on Saturday, January 12 from 8 a.m. to noon with a program by Dr. Michael Lizotte, a professor of biology and ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.  He will discuss how our interactions with the natural environment impact the land and water around us, especially in the Lake Winnebago region.  The title of his presentation is “Watersheds, Foodsheds, and Natives:  Regional Considerations Beyond the USDA Zones.”  Dr. Lizotte is an ecologist who studies algae blooms in lakes and oceans and teaches a wide variety of environmental subjects.  He is on the Board of Directors of the Winnebago Lakes Council and the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance and has a special interest in increasing local understanding of environmental issues.   The class will be held at the Coughlin Center, Oshkosh.
