There also will be live performances and special guest stars from the Broadway stage. Inge Festival director Peter Ellenstein has been working towards this weekend since he was hired in August. He replaced longtime Inge coordinator Jill Warford. Beth Tuszynski, Special Projects Coordinator, was hired in November. Rounding out the first-year team is Christy Wulf, who was hired as Ellenstein’s assistant in March, when she replaced Shannon Neely. Ms. Tuszynski got busy immediately on the festival and has taken care of all festival related press releases, as well as working as the liaison to the radio and television stations and to the celebrities. She is responsible for the information about the Inge Festival that is on the National Geographic website. She also worked tirelessly to see that Celia Wren, a contributing writer for American Theatre Magazine, will be in Independence covering the festival. "American Theatre Magazine is ‘the’ magazine that all theatre people go to for information," according to Ms. Tuszynski. Mr. Ellenstein said that he is "excited to be kicking off a new era in Inge, building on the past to create wonderful new programs that reach out to a wider audience and a new generation of theater goers." That has been his goal since his arrival. Many hours have been put into the Inge Festival this year, right down to the last minute. As late as April 9, details for the workshops were still being pulled together. Ellenstein is very positive about the festival. He believes that this year will mark a turning point in how people, professionals and non-professionals, view the festival. Kander and Ebb Tribute at Memorial Hall
The event will feature live performances, interviews with top celebrities, as well as special appearances by John Kander and Fred Ebb’s associates. The artistic partners are winner’s of this year’s Distinguished Achievement in American Theatre Award. Peter Ellenstein, Director of the William Inge Festival said, "We are thrilled to honor Kander and Ebb this year. They are one of Broadway’s most durable and successful teams. They’re both very sweet gentlemen who are looking forward to meeting people at the Festival." For nearly four decades, composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb have worked together as one of Broadway’s preeminent song-writing teams. Theirs is one of the longest-running music-and-lyrics partnership in Broadway musical history. Kander and Ebb are sometimes called the Rodgers and Hart and Hammerstein of the second half of the Twentieth Century. They’ve given the world some of the great creations of the American musical stage including: Cabaret, Chicago, Kiss of the Spider Woman and nearly a dozen more, ranging from The Act to Zorba. Their scores have a breathtaking ability to capture the flavor of a specific time and place, with gutsy music brimming with vitality and brilliantly droll, penetrating lyrics. Kander and Ebb have written for many well-known musical performers including: Lauren Bacall, Joel Grey, Gwen Verdon, Frank Sinatra, Robert Goulet, Chita Rivera, Liza Minnelli and Barbra Streisand. They are the winners of numerous awards including the Emmy and the Tony. Tickets for the Tribute at Memorial Hall and for other William Inge Theatre Festival events held are available by calling the Inge Office at Independence Community College. Call the office at 620-331-4100 or 800-842-6063, Monday through Friday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. for more information. After hours, call 620-331-7768. Bernadette Peters Donation Featured in Silent Auction Bernadette Peters, star of stage, screen and television, donated an autographed Playbill for "Annie Get Your Gun" to Independence Community College’s William Inge Theatre Festival today. The Playbill will be auctioned during the Gala Dinner and Silent Auction on Friday, April 19, 2002 at the Independence Country Club. It is autographed by Peters and Tom Wopat, stars of the show as well as by the entire Broadway cast. Theatre memorabilia of various types will be auctioned, including a collector’s edition of "Cabaret," autographed by actress Natasha Richardson. Several items have been donated for the auction. Amazon.com in Coffeyville, Kansas has also donated several new books, videos and CD’s featuring William Inge’s plays as well as John Kander and Fred Ebb’s musicals "Cabaret," "Chicago," "Steel Pier," and "Kiss of the Spider Woman." Funds raised from the auction will help with expenses in the restoration and maintenance of William Inge’s historic boyhood home at 514 N. 4th St., Independence. Auctions in prior years have raised up to $6000. The 2002 Silent Auction committee is chaired by Debbie Tincher. Committee members include Pam Colvin, Theresa Pautler, Cindy Roragen, Beth Tuszynski and Lisa Wilson. Tickets for the William Inge Theatre Festival are still available by calling the Inge Office at Independence Community College. For tickets call 620-331-4100 or 800-842-6063, Monday through Friday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. After hours, leave a message at 620-331-7768. The William Inge Theatre Festival has been awarded a grant from the William T. Kemper Foundation (Commerce Bank, Trustee) for the purpose of underwriting the festival this year and in 2003. The grant of $10,000, payable over the two years, will help with various expenses in order to produce the annual four-day festival. This year’s event started Wednesday and runs through Saturday. "We are proud to participate in this nationally recognized event and we are grateful that the generosity and planning of William T. Kemper, Jr. have made this grant possible through his Foundation," said Samuel J. Bennett, program manager of charitable trusts and foundations, Commerce Bank.
"Moonlight Marionettes," a drama written by Andy Evans, received the award for Best Play. Director Dilyara Suleymanova, a Russian exchange student, was named Best Director for directing the play. The leading roles in this production, Julie Dumler, as the marionette princess Hog, and Mike Pokorny, as the hobo king Wart, received the Best Actress and Actor awards. Best Supporting Role went to Wayne Traylor who portrayed a Bronx bar-fly named Vinnie in Matt Escobar’s creation "EveryDay." This was a play that combined David Ives’ "Sure Thing" with John Patrick Shanley’s "Welcome to the Moon." Escobar’s production also received the coveted People’s Choice Award. Josh Hoppes produced Tad Mosel’s "Impromptu." The judges referred to this play as "a strong contender," but it came away empty handed. Hoite Caston, Peter Ellenstein, and Lisa Mitchell judged Thursday night’s performances for each category, except the People’s Choice. This award was decided by the audience Friday night. The awards were presented following Friday’s performance by past Anna winners Thomas Dean, Jr. and his wife Veronica, Darryl Carnall, Kosumi Fujita, Debby Sandoval and Mike Fienen. The Anna Plays are a tribute to former ICC drama instructor Anna Ingleman. Ms. Ingleman taught locals William Inge and Vivian Vance, along with Margaret Goheen. Inge and Vance went on to become a famous playwright and actress, respectfully. Goheen returned to ICC as an instructor and started the Anna play tradition in 1960. Former ICC Student, Pilot is Embry-Riddle’s Youngest By Ryan Wade
Robert Hamilton, a former ICC student, is possibly the youngest person to graduate from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla. On April 10 he stopped by Pirate Country to visit "the nicest teachers" he had. Last Jan. 31 at age 19, Hamilton received his Bachelor’s Degree from Embry-Riddle in Aeronautical Science. Since then he has been working as a pilot for Regional Air Charter, an on-demand corporate flight company. Hamilton is also working for the Federal Aviation Administration (F.A.A.) as a safety counselor, and is a part of the F.A.A. production studios where he aides in the production of in-flight safety films. Hamilton said Embry-Riddle officials think he is the youngest grad, but they had no way of checking that statistic. He was raised in Independence and began flying Cessna aircraft at age 15. Since then he has owned and operated a set of twin Cessna 150’s. This fall Hamilton is hoping to be a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force Reserves. While a part of the U.S.A.F. Reserves he will be flying a K.C. 135 tanker refueler. According to Hamilton, the K.C. 135 is equipped to carry 360,000 pounds of fuel in a single load. After the reserves, Hamilton said that his big goal is to fly for either Delta or Fed Ex. On his way out the door, Hamilton gave a piece of advice to everyone at ICC. He said, "Do whatever you want to do for a career, because once you’re there it sure is fun." ICC Offering a San Diego Course
Field sites include Scripps Steven-Birch Aquarium Museum, the rocky inter tidal, the sandy beach, San Diego Bay, Torrey Pines State Reserve, Tijuana Estuary, Sea World and Sea World aquarium (with an option to get wet with Dolphins for an additional cost and enough advanced notice), and the Anza-Borrego Desert. There will be a pre-tip seminar and a post trip seminar on campus. The class will be conducted by Frankie Harriss, ICC biology instructor. The cost of the course is $550. in addition to tuition and fees. The cost includes a dorm room at UCSD and three meals a day on campus. There will be a van driven and the only other anticipated costs are food expense while traveling and individual purchases. The class is limited to only 10 participants, there are no pre-requisites and instructor approval is needed. There are three choices in credit hours. The one credit hour course includes activities and a field journal. The two credit hour course includes activities, field journal, and field project. The three credit hour course includes activities, field journal, field project and formal presentation of field project. The course description is a travel-study course providing students an introduction to coastal ecology. Emphasis will be on marine life and coastal organisms, but will certainly include estuary, mangrove, desert, chaparral, shrub, and freshwater organisms depending on the semester study location. Students will focus on the identification of organisms, organism interactions, distribution, abundance, and the human impact on these systems as explored through readings, lectures, tours, videos, and intensive field work in the coastal region of study. On-campus assignments include a seminar before and after the trip. If interested in the class, please contact instructor Frankie L. Harriss at 620-331-4100 ext. 4253 or via email: fharriss@indycc.edu What’s Your Choice in Good and Bad? By Chikako Kato and Gib Jutaporn, New Writing Students All of us live in the same planet, environment, and the society. Certainly, there are many good things in our planet for us to appreciate. On the other hand, there are some world problems. If you sit back and think about the world, what would you think? Some of you might think more of the good part of the world, because it can make you enjoy living in this planet. In contrast, some of you may think only of the bad part of the world. Either way, here are some perspectives of the ICC students and also the ICC staff about what do they think about what is good and what is bad: Jivko Kurtev, freshmen from Shumen, Bulgaria, said "One of the world’s worst problems is the poverty. This problem has existed for such a long time. World War I and II led to the poverty. It doesn’t seem to me that this problem will be solved soon." He also said that the rich countries don’t care about the poverty. They don’t do anything much for third-world countries. They prefer to invest their money for things that will make them more and more rich, rather than helping poor countries. He said the best thing in the world for him is the soccer games, because they make him feel excited and energetic. More people should try to participate in any kind of sports. It not only helps you stay healthy but it also makes you relaxed. Demarcus Rhodes, sophomore from Wichita, said "I feel that our worst problem in the world is the problem between Palestine and Israel. They are fighting over land, killing themselves and others. The land doesn’t belong to them or anyone else for that matter." "The best thing right now that I can think of is the American ability of dealing with the attack on the September 11," Melissa Siemens, sophomore from Newton, said "Our worst problem in the world is violence. People are killing each other over little things that can easily be talked out." The best thing in the world is how our technology is improving everyday. Each day, scientists are finding the cures for sicknesses. If you look at how much the technology has advanced you will see a large increase: for instance, computers, phones. Without these, people would have a hard time to communicate with their friends and families." Daniel Williams, freshmen from Fredonia, said "Right now I would have to say that war and violence are our worst problems. It seems like violence has been never-ending since September 11." "I think our worst problem changes with time. Right now I’d have to say conflict and violence." He also believes that the future will be better. We can live by knowing that there will be bad times and good times. People have to have a faith. Carol Small, the ICC library technician from Neodesha, said "The worst problems at this moment are drugs, alcohol, and sex outside the bond of marriage. These things lead young people to sometimes make poor decisions about things that could affect their whole lives." The good thing about the world is freedom of worship. We are in the U.S. very fortunate to have this freedom," she said. Don Schnurbusch, biology, anatomy and nutrition instructor at ICC, said, "The worst things are conflicts in the Middle East. Life is lost because people can’t live in peace. It means people can’t find a peaceful way to settle their differences. "The best thing in the world," he said, "is there is hope for solving those problems because we have a history which teaches that we have been able to stop problems in the past. This is not the first time that conflicts have happened in those countries. We can see traditional models to solve problems. It makes us hopeful that we can do it again." Dariya Plashchevska, exchange student from Ukraine, said, "The best thing in the world is mutual love. Love gives strength to everything, even those things you thought you couldn’t do." She explained, "if we have love, we can have the will to do everything, even when it is very hard." For her, the worst thing is greed. "For example," she said, "one politician says good things for us when he is trying to be elected. However, once he’s elected, the person changes and looks for only his profits. So, greed causes problems in political, social and private life." Mikako Sanjo, sophomore from Tokushima, Japan, said "The best thing in the world is to have experiences. No matter what they are, experience makes our views wider. Even bad experiences can turn into important elements for us to improve ourselves." For her, the worst problem in the world is that the exchange rate of Japanese yen is falling. For exchange students, the rate of their countries’ currency is important. She said, "when she came to the United States, $1 was 118 yen. Now, however, $1 is 133 yen. So, if Japanese students pay for tuition fees, there is a big difference between two years ago and now. Now, the Japanese economy is not good. The exchange rate continues to fall." Cherice Gray, sophomore, said "My family is the best thing in the world. They are always for me." She continued, "It is difficult to explain why the family is the best thing in the world because they are always important." "But," she explained, "the family is always around us. So to have and hold the family is the best thing." "The worst thing," she said, "is violence because it’s hitting our youth hard. They get into it and we almost loose them. When violence destroys out youth, that’s one of the worst things in the world." Kathleen Harlow, freshman, said, "For exchange students, they can attend college or university in the United States. That is the best thing." The world becomes more open to different countries than before. Exchange students can get opportunities to study abroad easily. That is best thing for her. The worst thing is child abuse. "Some laws could be changed to better protect children as far as put abused children back into the same abusive environment. I feel is the abused children put back into the same situation, the children have a 90 percent chance of being killed the next time. I also feel those children have a right to a normal life that should be secured. The law should work to make those children have a healthy and happy life," she said. Throughout the year, The Buccaneer has tried to provide readers with a wide range of shows and concerts in the area. As summer approaches and The Buccaneer goes on hiatus, some of you may be wondering how you can get this information. If you have access to a computer, you can look up the shows happening wherever you may be. The websites used by The Buccaneer are listed below, along with the areas covered by the site. To find events happening in Oklahoma, there are three different sites that will provide information. Ticketmaster and Carson Attractions are both ticket agencies serving the state. Their websites are www.ticketmaster.com and www.carsonattractions.com. If you are in the mood for a play or the ballet, try the website for the Performing Arts Center in Tulsa. That address is www.tulsapac.com. The state of Missouri, as well as most of the states, lists the majority of events on the Ticketmaster website. For events in central Kansas, the website you will need is www.selectaseat.com. This will cover Manhattan, Salina, Hutchinson and Wichita. If you are looking for information about shows being held at the Sandstone Amphitheatre in Bonner Springs, you will need to check out the Ticketmaster website. If you have tried these websites and haven’t found where you are looking for, try a search engine like www.ask.com or www.google.com. Type in "concert venues" or the name of the place you are looking for. Another way to find an event would be to search for the specific artist you want to see. Most have websites that will list tour information and provide ticket information as well. Seats Available for Washington Trip Limited seating is available for ICC’s Washington, D.C., Historical Trip. The class tour, offered only every other year, is scheduled for May 24 through June 2, and is a chance of a lifetime experience as participants tour historic sites, professional performances, concerts and parades, according to Dixie Schierlman, Dean of Student Services. One of the highlights of the tour is spending Memorial Day in D.C. and hearing President Bush’s Memorial Day Address. "If you’ve ever dreamed of touring D.C. and really experiencing the history, this is the trip to take," said Dean Schierlman, who is leading the tour. "Whether you’re looking at a vacation or thinking about exposing the grandchildren to the history of our nation, this tour brings our history to life as we visit these amazing national treasurers. It is so exciting to see the reactions people have as they literally experience our heritage." The bus tour will depart from ICC’s North Parking Lot May 24. The class includes instruction on historical sites while traveling on the bus, and a walking tour of D.C. Tour highlights include Falls Church Inn at Falls Church, VA, Monticello, Michie’s Tavern, Ashlawn-Highland Tour, Arlington Cemetery, Mount Vernon, tour and dinner at Mount Vernon, Viet Nam Memorial, Lincoln Monument, Washington Monument, Korean Monument, Smithsonian Institute, , Iwo Jima Memorial, Marine Sunset Parade Band Concert, The White House, Holocaust Museum, , Peterson House, Ford Theatre, Smithsonian/National Archives, Tour Jefferson Memorial & Roosevelt Memorial, Tour Capitol Building, Library of Congress, Supreme Court, Washington Cathedral Tour, Kennedy Center Tour and Performance This is a college class and as such, participation in all activities is necessary. The class includes instruction on historical sites while traveling on the bus and a walking tour of D.C. Everyone is enrolled for college credit if they are eligible. Costs are: one in a room $1200; two in a room $875 per person; three in a room $775 per person; and four in a room $730 per person. For younger travelers, not eligible for college credit, deduct $135.00 from the per person costs. Senior Citizens, persons aged 60 and above, receive a scholarship for their tuition portion of $81. Additional Costs for travelers: Approximately 11 meals and souvenirs. Presentation Set for New College Program Jeff Duncan, Independence Community College’s Director of Continuing Education and Workforce Development, has designed a new program of study for ICC called Integrated Manufacturing. According to Duncan, who has been with ICC since 2001, the curriculum is designed to provide the student with a powerful combination of course work, which will cover the CPIM and CIRM certification material and others. The successful student could graduate from the program with certification in CPIM, CIRM, and a Green Belt in Six Sigma. "We are very excited about the opportunities this program would provide to new students and professionals in manufacturing," said Duncan, who will give a presentation on Integrated Manufacturing Program Development on Thursday, April 18, when the Southeast Kansas Chapter of APICs, the Educational Society for Resource Management meets for their monthly session at The Woods. Duncan earned a B.A. in Economics from VMI, a Masters in HR Development from Webster University, and an MBA from Webster University. He began his career in the U.S. Army where he served a variety of duties including instructor for military flight training and programs for medical managers. He has owned his own business, taught college courses, been a financial advisor, and a business consultant. A job as a Business Analyst with Amazon.com brought him to the Independence area where he has served as Commissioner on the Planning and Zoning Commission, Chairman of the Workforce Development Task Force for Independence Chamber of Commerce, and Elder at the First Presbyterian Church. For more information about the program, contact Duncan at the Independence Community College Downtown Learning Center, located in the Independence Corporate Building, or call (620) 332-1236. Press Association Job Fair Friday Gloria Freeland and Jeff Burkhead of Kansas Press Association report that nine news organizations have committed to interviewing students for jobs and/or internships at the jointly sponsored KPA/KACP Job Fair at 4 p.m. Friday in the Topeka and Sedgwick Rooms of Wichita Marriott Hotel.

The Commerce Bank grant is given in partnership with the William T. Kemper Foundation grant made to the Inge Festival earlier this month. "Once again we are proud to have been able to increase our local contribution this year and be a part of the William Inge theatre Festival," said Jim Kelly, Independence Commerce Bank President. "I am especially looking forward to the event this year since it always officially ushers in spring for me." |
