Musical Theater Group to Perform at Morton
by Rebecca Homann
By the time Yvette Mikhail was thirteen
years old, she had spent months in
Riley Children’s Hospital and had three
surgeries. Now a graduate student
studying counseling and dance therapy,
she credits Riley with saving her life.
“She would have died if
she was anywhere else,”
says her mother, LaVerne.
LaVerne is the founder
of the Morton Center’s
Mor’Dancin’ program
and it’s no surprise that
Yvette chose dance as
her method to give back
to Riley. She founded
Phoenix Fire Productions,
an outreach group of
teenage girls, to raise
money through dance to
donate to Riley Hospital.
“The phoenix is, of course, the
mythological bird reborn from its own
ashes. I chose the fire specifically as
our symbol because it represents both
life and death. We don’t choose to only
represent the beauty of life. We embrace
it all.”
Phoenix Fire Productions performs
two shows each year featuring dance
and other performance arts. Yvette
choreographs the dances and tapes them
at graduate school in New England, then
mails them to Indiana. The select group
of fifteen performers watches and learns
the show. Mikhail returns to Indiana
twice during the semester to “clean up”
the practices and the weekend before
the show is rigorous practice before the
two performances.
This year’s show is titled “A
Night of Musical Theater”
and will feature eleven
songs from shows such
as All That Jazz, Chicago,
Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat, A
Chorus Line, and Rent. All
proceeds from the show
will be donated to Riley
Hospital.
“I don’t think the girls
[performing the show] really
know how much good they’re doing,”
Mikhail says.
The performances are on Saturday,
November 20th
at 4:30 and 8:00 pm at
the Morton Community Center in West
Lafayette. There is a minimum donation
of $7.00 per ticket. For information about
the performances or donations, please
contact LaVerne Mikhail at 743-4786.

Corrections
Issue Six:
- La Scala Review attributed to
Lauren Bruce and Lori Campbell
written by Diana Heideman
- Becky Homann’s article on Andre
Dubus III incorrectly attributed to
Dave Samuelson
- Cover art “A Wet Night in February”
by Charles Conner from Art
Museum of Greater Lafayette
I’ve found, through this process (of
putting together an arts and entertainment
periodical), a nice little side effect I hadn’t
anticapated: people want to talk to me
about the arts. A good number of artists
and people who are involved with the
arts like to just sit and chat about art, the
artistic community in Greater Lafayette,
and even the inevitable, ubiquitous,
unavoidable question of what defines
art. Great, right? A little exhausting but
always entertaining. And I, of course,
must follow suit.
Oscar Wilde would say, “It is the spectator,
and not life, that art really mirrors”. If this
is true, then art gets reduced, to a simple
opinion; the perception and judgement of
an audience that is fickle and influenced,
and leaving no difference, no clear
definition as to what seperates art from
entertainment. I’m never comfortable
with that; the very idea that art is only a
consensus of modern opinion.
I beleve art exists in a vacuum – must
exist in a vacuum for one to call it art.
Otherwise, it is simply entertainment;
good entertainment, potentionally
inspiring or what have you, but still - just
entertainment.
I’ve heard the modern reaction to this
– “well, you can’t possibly be the judge
of what is and isn’t art”. True, but that
doesn’t necessarily omit the possibility of
that judge. What I’ve done is place art
in the same arena as other intangibles;
zero, love,OM, God, a finite point, etc.
Art is either Art and exists on its own
merit or merely a glossy word for the
“thing” one likes.
This is what has worked for me so far.
I do understand that I am both defining
something and at the same time claiming
it’s elusive. Any contradiction, I’d
attribute to semantics (tongue-in-cheek),
but if that fails me, why not go back to
Oscar Wilde who says; “A truth in art is
that whose contradictory is also true”.

The Riverside Skating Center, run by
West Lafayette Parks and Recreation,
will be starting its season on Nov 26,
the day after Thanksgiving. The rink
has been open since November 2002.
Manager Sue Mattern calls it a “nice,
quaint recreation facility.” The building
includes a warming room with a vending
area, a skate rental area, and skate
sharpening area.
The outdoor refrigerated rink is
120 by 70 feet, which is enough
space for around 200 people. The
whole rink is handicap accessible.
Riverside Skating Center Starts Season
by Emily Harris
Surprisingly enough, the Zamboni,
or the ice resurfacer, is a popular
attraction to newcomers. “If nothing
else, you should come down and see
[the Zamboni] work,” says Mattern.
“a nice, quaint recreation
facility”
Approximately 15, 000 people came out
last year to experience Riverside. A lot of
the business was through private rentals.
If you are looking for a more social
setting, Friday, Saturday, and Sundays
are the busier days, while Monday
through Thursday skaters have a more
private feel.
Mattern said that there were a few
special occasions already planned for
this year. Monday nights will be Cheap
Skate Nights, where the skate rental
fee will be wavered. On December
18, children and parents can meet
Santa at Skate with Santa. This will
be the children’s opportunity to skate,
eat breakfast, and maybe even get
their picture taken with Santa. Also,
sometime in February, there will be Dare
to Bear, which is the “Polar Bear” skating
day. Also available are skating lessons
and hockey appreciation in January.
While the facility may be great,
Mattern believes that the focus is on
her staff. “We’ve got a really fun,
well educated, hardworking staff.”
She said that working in a rink can
be fun, but brutal because of the
cold, but her workers handle it well.
The Riverside Skating Center is open
Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-
6pm & 7-9pm, Tuesdays 4-6pm,
Thursdays 7-9pm, Fridays 4-6pm &
7-10pm, Saturdays 1-3pm & 4-6pm
& 7-10pm, and Sundays 1-3pm & 4-
6pm & 7-9pm. During the Christmas
season, there will be extended hours.
Admission is $3, skate rental $2. For
more information, call 1-765-743-RINK.

8 Tipp-C - The “C” is for Community
The people of the Lafayette area will be
given a rare opportunity on the evening
of Thursday, November 18th
: poets and
fiction writers from Purdue and West
Lafayette will read in support of Food
Finders Food Bank in Lafayette. An
annual event that is a part of the Insight
Communications Community Harvest
campaign and officially sponsored by
Purdue’s national literary magazine,
the Sycamore Review, the Writers
Community Harvest features different
local readers every holiday season
and is expected to draw a large crowd
of literature fans from around greater
Lafayette.
Sycamore Review editor-in-chief Sean
M. Conrey hopes to collect thousands of
canned goods and non-perishable items
for the food bank.
“This is the second time that we have
run the event this way, using local writers
from in and around Purdue. Last year the
event was a success, but we are hoping
to collect somewhere on the order of ten
to twenty times more food for the food
bank this year,” Conrey said.
This year’s featured readers, Patricia
Henley, Donald Platt, Porter Shreve,
Dana Roeser, and Bich Minh Nguyen,
will read from their own work and are
working with the Sycamore Review
to collect canned goods in the weeks
leading up to the event to guarantee that
their goal is made.
The Sycamore Review is even hosting
a contest amongst professors and
instructors at Purdue to see who
can collect the most food before the
November 18th
reading.
“We figured the contest would be a
good way to multiply the take on the
night of the reading,” Sycamore Review
managing Editor Barney Haney added.
“The folks who’ve signed up their classes
for the contest have done a great job,
but we are also hoping to get large
contributions on the night of the event, as
well” Haney said.
The Insight Community Harvest, a series
of events and food drives around the
Lafayette area that is currently in its 15th
year, is working hard to assure that the
64 agencies that rely on Food Finders
are well served.
“We’re working hard to keep the shelves
stocked at Food Finders this year,” Food
Finders director of resource development
Pamela Johnson said. “In the last year
there has been a 17% increase in the
need for food in the area. Events like
this one are helping us accommodate
that greater need,” Johnson said. The
increase in demand has made the food
bank increase last year’s goal of sixty
thousand pounds of food to seventy
thousand pounds. “We’re blessed to
be in a very supportive community.
A food bank is only able to do what
we do because of the support for the
community,” Johnson said.
“As part of the greater Lafayette
community, the writing community is
coming together in Lafayette,” Sycamore
editor Conrey said, “and as a part of the
community at large, this event provides a
great and rare chance to see some of the
most talented writers in the region read
their work and to also give to a good and
necessary cause.”
The event will be in room 180 of Grissom
Hall on Purdue’s campus at 7:30PM on
. Food and
cash donations will be taken at the door.
Suggested admission is ten canned or
non-perishable items, or 3 dollars, all of
which will be donated to Food Finders.
For more information email Sean
M. Conrey at conreys@purdue.edu
or visit their website at http:
//www.sla.purdue.edu/sycamore/. Other
arrangements for donations may be
made directly to Food Finders food bank
by calling them at 471-0062.

I take each swollen globe
and crush it with my tongue against my
hard palate’s ridges
so that the pale inner flesh
bursts from the leathery skin and
releases its unbearably
sweet, dusky juice
to make sunset in my mouth’s dark. I am
cramming
what’s left of these middle
years into my full mouth and cannot tell
you how it tastes
to be forty-two, to eat nothing
all day but the grapes that hang in big

in my backyard and loads
the chain-link fence between my
neighbor’s half acre

Galleries (cont.)Punk Show Review
by Pat McClimans
Wabash Trash
The Places
The Minivans
I went to my first punk rock show in
1987 when I was 14 years old. I will
never forget it. Slaughterhouse 5 played
at Spud Zero and the headlining band
bailed so they played their set twice
through! I was absolutely scared out
of my mind. Everyone was so… well…
punk! You didn’t see punk rock dudes
everyday then, except for horrible
stereotypical renderings in cop movies,
like Cobra, so the culture shock was a
little more real. Punk was real back in
those days… people peeing everywhere,
singers throwing up during the show, an
electric feeling like mass chaos could
break out at any moment!
It was brought to my attention that
many friends and friends of friends were
performing on Saturday, September 25th
at A.J. Winger’s which has been having
monthly punk rock shows. I figured I
could check it out and feel superior
because I used to go to real punk
shows. Old people like to act like that
sometimes… it’s dumb.
When I arrived the Minivans had already
started. I‘ve seen them before and have
been impressed with their control and
tightness. Their songs are anthemic and
hard, not metal heavy, but in your face.
This show was a fair performance, but
I’ve seen them play better. Normally, you
can count on the tightest punk rock and
power from the thrice heralded greatest
2-piece band ever to perform. The
Minivans use the energy of their music to
motivate its listeners, instead of monkey
acts and circus sideshows. I always
appreciate that from a band.
All of about 8 seconds after they were
done (there was only one drum set to
worry about) I heard the frantic scream
“HEY! … HEY! WE’RE THE PLACES! …
HEY! …. WE’RE THE PLACES!” and the
chaos ensued. The Places are a 4-piece
band with no bass player…. I know…
I don’t get it either. They have the
potential of rocking as hard as anyone
as well as killing everyone at the same
time. They could stand to be tighter
“Lafayette, whether we want
to believe it or not, has a
pretty happnening local
scene”
and more ‘together’ musically. I think
they have mostly good sounds and their
songs are well written, it just seems like
they lack practice. However, their energy
is amazing, and I feel like Chris Benedict
is the absolute best front man Lafayette
has produced in a long ass time. It was
absolute déjà vu watching Chris throw up
all over the ride cymbal… It was 1987 all
over again! (Later that night Chris tried
his hand at peeing on a fan (?)). I feel
like The Places have great potential and
are only a bass player and some practice
away from fulfilling their capabilities.
Next up was the band I came to see.
Some say they are the hidden jewels
in Lafayette’s punk scene. I don’t think
I would even call them punk. I think
that Wabash Trash is pure rock and roll.
Good guitar sounds, driving bass, solid
vocals and concrete drums. They are the
total package and on this night, after a
somewhat slow start, they showed what
they are capable of when firing on all
cylinders. I had seen the ‘Trash before,
but they failed to rock as hard as on this
evening. I was duly impressed with how
they were able to keep playing even
when Jordan (the guitar player) had his
leg and amp peed on. I mean, pee is
punk, but c’mon folks… this is crossing
the line!
Lafayette, whether we want to believe
it or not, has a pretty happening local
scene. No one ever wants to believe that,
because it is easier to complain when
you don’t have what you want, but it is
here. These three groups are waving that
flag for the little scene that could. And…
well… I guess punk ain’t dead.

an audition time.
Roles to be cast are:
Senex: vocal range—character
baritone to top line F#, the classic dirty
old man and hen-pecked husband. A bit
bumbling yet charming—underneath
he’s a pussycat. This character must
sing and move well.
Erronius: a very old man,
a vaudeville comedian with a wicked
sense of humor, must play late 70s and
sing a bit.

“A Funny Thing Happened on the
Way to the Forum”
for

10 Give this magazine to a friend!
RH: You’ve said you got to know the
characters of House of Sand and Fog
as you were writing them. How much of
a story do you have in your head before
you begin writing?
AD: None. Absolutely nothing at all. I
just start writing. See who does what.
Just go from there. House of Sand and
Fog started with just one image. One little
seed. I read a little piece, a true story, in
the newspaper about a woman who lost
her house for taxes she didn’t owe. It
happens more often than people realize.
I thought ‘Hm, that’s interesting.’ But it
just sat in the back of my mind for years.
And I dated, years ago, when I was in my
twenties, an Iranian girl. Her father had
been in the Shah’s airforce and they had
come to the US under the same terrible
situation as the Behranis [in the book]. I
was helping her father carry groceries up
to their apartment. He had just worked
a sixteen hour day at a convenience
store, just to be able to provide for them,
and he just looked at me in the elevator
and said, “I used to work with kings and
queens and prime ministers. Now I
serve candy and cigarettes to teenagers
who don’t even know who I was. I never
thought this would happen to me.” When
I started writing the book, I just thought
‘What if this guy, the colonel, was the guy
who bought that house?’ It all came from
just that.
RH: So when do you know if the seed
isn’t working?
AD: It’s something within you. I think
writing is like carrying a child, how I
imagine being pregnant would be. And
when you’re carrying this story, this child,
in your deep mysterious womb you have
to just trust in something bigger. But
unfortunately, in writing, as in nature,
sometimes things miscarry and you can
feel it die inside you. That’s a horrible
image, isn’t it? But it’s a deep intuitive
thing and … it’s normal. And it’s not
really the story dying, but the original
idea. I can look at my stories, all of
them, and they’re like phoenixes. Rising
phoenixes of stories, allowing this new
one to grow where the other died. You
have to learn to love the pain and the
insecurity of letting your story go where
it needs to, even if it’s not your original
plan. And going back to the parent-child
model, you have to let them follow their
nature. You can try to direct them, and
sometimes it might work, but more often,
the more you push the less they’ll go
in that direction or they begin to rebel.
Then you’ve got trouble. (Laughs)
Interview with Andre Dubus
by Rebecca Homann RH: You write your work by hand, then
type. Do you think that makes you closer
to your work in some way or spurs your
creative process differently than if you
went straight to the computer?
AD: Oh, yeah, definitely. I mean, at first
it was by necessity. Now I have a little
room, and I really mean little; it’s like five
feet by five feet, […with] a little kid’s desk
in it and my laptop. But back then I had
nowhere private to work. So I’d write in
my car with a pencil sharpened with a
utility knife. But still now I have to write
like that. It’s like flesh-blood-bone-wood-
graphite-paper. I have to have that kind
of connection to what I’m doing. And
somehow that makes you know what’s
working, what’s good and what’s not.
I mean, you’ve got arrows going here
and there and stuff crossed out and it’s
a mess. It’s ugly and if it’s physically that
ugly, but it still works, you know you’ve
got something.

Concert Features ‘Greatest Hits’ of the 18th Century
Donna the Buffalo is coming to town!
Trust me, this is a “must -see” show.
And that name.... about 17 years ago
this group of school friends had to come
up with a name for the poster for their
first gig. They
started with a
bottle of whiskey –
something they had
become acquainted
with a little early
in life. “Dawn of
the Buffalo,” was
eventually agreed
upon. Maybe they
didn’t print enough
posters, or perhaps
the crowd was
too loud, because
what everybody
heard was “Donna
the Buffalo.”
Everybody fell in love with Donna the
Buffalo and there was no going back.
Donna the Buffalo is roots folk-rock with
a social conscience, and they will be at
the Lafayette Brewing Co., 622 Main
St., on Sunday, November 14, at 7:30.
Friends of Bob live music co-op and DtB
fans have been looking forward to this
show for many months.
Their music is best described as a
blend of rock and reggae; bluegrass
and country; zydeco and folk. Tight
with imaginative and unusual themes,
melodic and heart-rending at times, they
are a mega-talented group of six. They
bring to the stage an unmistakable love
of earth, humanity, and community. DtB
has been gaining popularity steadily
for 15 years, attracting followers who
are moved by their music to dance
and motivated by their lyrics and the
actions of the band to look and act more
seriously on oral and ethical issues. In
the early 90s the efforts of DtB and
friends set in motion the Grassroots Fest
in Trumansburg, NY, which has since
raised hundreds of thousands of dolars
for AIDS research and local arts and
education causes.
We saw and felt this symbiotic
relationship between Donna and the
audience at the Grassroots Festival in
July. It was obvious, looking around at
that audience -- a sea of standing people,
dancing people, swaying people– that
many of them had been in love with the
band for years, and the rest were falling
in love at the moment. The band’s love
of music and its dedication to what they
stand for is compelling.
This show will be an unusual treat, don’t
dare miss it. Tickets are $13 in advance
or $15 at the door. The show is for ages
21 and over, and tickets are available at
Lafayette Brewing Co., Von’s Records,
JL CDs, and McGuire Music.

CD Review: Pat McClimans Group
by Jesse Charles
This self titled release is the first by the
Pat McClimans Group, but Pat is no
stranger to the Lafayette music scene.
You may have even heard him in the past
as the front-man for MT Rhoades and his
lonesome woods band, or as a sidekick
for local blues musician Bill Brose.
The record marks the most recent in
a string of stylistic turning points for
McClimans over the past 10 years.
Each album he releases comes out a
little more refined than the last. The
PMG website described their mission
statement; “blending the styles of blues,
folk, country, jazz and rock and roll into
an American patchwork soundtrack”. I
think that is a pretty accurate description.
In fact, I would go so far as to say this
is about the best and most homogenous
assemblage of these styles that I’ve
heard.
Fans of blues will enjoy songs like “Wait
and see” and “Turn me loose” (which
features some excellent slide guitar
work.) Some country music flavor finds
its way onto the record too, via the
knee-slappin’ “Letter to Mama” as well
as the plodding shuffle of “Never had a
bad day”. All of these songs may cover a
lot of ground stylistically, but undertones
of the slightly hippie, jazz-rock, Allman
Brothers sound serve as a common
thread throughout, making for an easy-
to-listen-to, cohesive record.
It should also be noted that while the
record is largely about the songs, which
are as spirited and soulful as any I’ve
heard in the region, there is also an
abundance of outstanding guitar work
throughout this recording including some
“jammy” sections of “Inspiration” and the
aforementioned slide guitar playing that
shows up throughout.
Bottom line - If you even remotely like
of hip-hop and electronica brings a new
dimension to local music with a sound that
defies genre.
