  • Cereal prizes still bring joy

    Last week my older sister presented me with a piece of cardboard I had saved from when I was a kid.

    This wasn’t just any piece of cardboard, though.

    It was a 45 record by The Archies that had been printed on the back of a cereal box from the ’60s. Honeycomb, if I remember correctly.

    My sister had found the 45 when going through some boxes of memorabilia or something. She noticed an inscription on the back I had written, declaring it was my property.

    I was probably 8 or 9.

  • Review: We're off to see the wizard

    “Oz the Great and Powerful”
    Rated PG for sequences of action and scary images, and brief mild language.
    Release date: March 8
    Runtime: 130 min
    No rating this week

    As a child I was a huge fan of “The Wizard of Oz,” watching it every time it was on TV. Let’s face it; I’m still a big fan. I also adored Broadway’s “Wicked,” the stage version that serves as a prequel to the original.

  • Fall head over heels for Cirque Zuma Zuma

    Performers tonight at the Hardin County Schools Performing Arts Center will be bending over backwards to entertain their audience — Literally.

    Cirque Zuma Zuma, an African troupe of Cirque du Soleil-style performers, lands on stage at 7 p.m. and brings with it much more than a night of entertainment.

    Bart Lovins, PAC director, said Cirque Zuma Zuma provides a glimpse into another culture, which is “laced” into the performance and possibly unfamiliar to audience members. The presentation is educational while still being entertaining, he said.
