Making Dreams Come True One Ticket At A Time

By Amanda Everett

In this lifetime there are opportunities afforded to each and every one of us to make a difference in the life of another. Regardless of how great the impact you make on another’s life, the initiative you took to make the difference is the key factor. 

What sets you apart from your coworkers? What makes you a better person? Do you drop your money in the collection plate on Sunday, perhaps volunteer at a soup kitchen around the holidays? These offerings never go unappreciated, but what if there was something more you could do, something simple as a Sea Wolves game, a day at Waldameer, or a show at the Erie Playhouse? 

Our community is full of exciting events that most of us take for granted. Imagine a child who has never been to one of these events because mom and dad are busy working two jobs each just to get by. There’s no time, there’s no money. Economic hardship is a reality the children of today face without having a clue what it means, without knowing why mom and dad can’t stop arguing, and believing that fun filled events are reserved for a better part of society in which they simply do not fit.

Why should a child ever go without? It’s no secret that the children of our communities are the hope for tomorrow. If they are denied the simple joys of life, what will happen to them in the future? Where will they go? What will they become? Pittsburgh-based nonprofit organization Tickets for Kids Charities is working tirelessly to give hope to these children who otherwise may never have a chance to participate fully in the enriching resources their community has to offer.

Since 1994, Tickets for Kids Charities has committed to enriching the lives of the underprivileged children and their families. By obtaining tickets to wholesome, high caliber arts & cultural, educational, sporting, and family entertainment events and then donating those tickets to hundreds of nonprofit organizations that chaperone thousands of children and their families to the events, Tickets for Kids Charities fulfills its mission.

All children benefit from and deserve to be included in community events. Through participation in events, children learn more about themselves and the endless possibilities their community has to offer. Children and youth develop socially and academically, discover new interests, create healthy relationships with adult mentors, and share special moments with their family members in safe, positive environments. In order to maintain that the events are positive to children who are socially, emotionally, physically, and psychologically underserved, Tickets for Kids Charities has developed a very thorough process of matching and evaluating agencies and events. Each agency is screened and trained before becoming a partner to ensure appropriateness and value to the children of the community. When assessing the ability of this organization to match wonderful events with deserving children and families, Tickets for Kids Charities does not charge a fee for agencies and organizations to work with them.

When the children of a community get to experience everything their community has to offer, they are more likely to love and respect that place that has loved and respected them. No child should ever believe they do not deserve to be a part of the community in which they live and Tickets for Kids Charities devotes its energy to making the underserved population of their region an integral part of the community.

Partnered with 950 agencies, providing $4.3 million in opportunities to over 167,000 deserving children and their families in 2008, Tickets for Kids Charities intends to significantly increase the number of experiences available in 2009 and they are certainly on the right track.

Eclectic Etceteras -- Hard To Say But Worth The Trip

 

by Rob Taylor
 

If get a chance to drive down to Edinboro you you’ll notice a lot of stores and shops along Erie Street, Edinboro’s main drag but there is one that will definitely stand out. It is just south of Rt. 6N and it is not a store per se. It looks more like the houses you read about in fairy tales and that is appropriate since it houses a coffee shop called Eclectic Etceteras Coffeehouse.

Owner, Renee Thayer-Allison says that it helps to be drunk or heavily caffeinated to be able to say the name of her shop but it reflects the philosophy that she wants the shop to have. “The name Eclectic Etceteras means many things and many places and that is what we want to have here.”

Eclectic Etceteras is what Thayer-Allison says is a “communiversity”. She said that her customers aren’t just college students. She said that they get all types and all ages of people coming in. “The people coming in aren’t just college students. They range in age from 2 years old to 92.” She added anyone is welcome to come and hang out.

The coffeehouse does have musicians scheduled to come in to play usually on Saturday afternoons from 1:00 until 3:00 and they never charge a cover to listen to their performers. But, she said, in addition to the scheduled shows, any musician can stop in at anytime and just jam. “People will be driving through Edinboro, hear the music and stop by.” She added that the people hang out, talk and have fun and that is what she wants. There is only one rule for musicians that Thayer-Allison says that she strictly enforces…no musician is permitted to play a cover or anything that sounds like a cover. “If they start playing a cover they are done,” she said adding that there is a lot of originality in the shop and she wants it to be seen in the music performed there.

Their menu lists 36 flavors of coffee, pastries (which are bake right at the shop) and smoothies (made with fresh fruit) as well as a list of other things too numerous to mention. Thayer-Allison said that she will make any custom flavor coffee a customer asks for and she brags that she can make coffees that, “tastes just like any candy bar around.”

However, Eclectic Etceteras isn’t just coffee or food. The walls are lined with locally produced art as well as locally written books. They even carry their own line of beach stone/beach glass jewelry called Double E Jewelry. “We make every piece by hand,” she says. Every piece displayed is unique and well crafted.

Eclectic Etceteras is all about the community, the people who live there and they want to bring everyone together in one big community. To help do that they have helped to promote musicians, artists and music festivals from Edinboro as well as all over Erie and Crawford counties. This is found in a quote from Eclectic Etceteras which says, “To change things globally, we have to start in our own backyard. Help a neighbor. Smile at a stranger. Lend a hand without expecting anything in return. Many small acts will add up to one huge change. Take a stand. Make a difference. Get involved.”

Eclectic Etceteras is open from 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Mon thru Sat and 8:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. on Sundays. For more information about Eclectic Etceteras call 814-734-2909, email Renee at renee@eecoffeehouse.com or check out www.myspace.com/eecoffeehouse

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two Major Title Matches Planned For PWR’s June 20th Show


By Rob Taylor

At last month’s Pro Wrestling Rampage show Sassy Stephanie and Angel Dust signed a contract, for what they thought was going to be a title match against PWR Women's Champion Brittney Force. Accidentally they signed a contract, not for a match with Force but for a match against PWR Tag Team Champions – the 800 + pound Bone Crushers. With the help of Real Smooth and the “Chairman Of The Board” Stephanie and Angel Dust pinned a member of the Bone Crushers and won the PWR Tag Team Championship.

 

On June 20th PWR will be returning to the Cauley Auditorium, 215 East 4th St to settle some scores, fulfill a contractual obligation and feature and rare eight man tournament to name the new PWR United States Championship.

 

Matches for the evening include:

 

By order of the PWR Commissioner the main event of the evening will be for the PWR Heavyweight

 

Championship between champion “Big Time” Bill Collier and the winner of the “Money In The Bank Match”, “Sexy” Shawn Blaze.

 

The one night only, eight man tournament for the PWR United States Championship featuring: “Omega” Aaron Draven, Lumberjack Laroux, Rocky Reynolds, Ivan Radsky, The Ceasar and others.

Also appearing on June 20th will be PWR Tag Team Champions Sassy Stephie & Angel Dust, The Bone Crushers, Real Smooth, J-Rocc, Shane Taylor & more.

Tickets are $15 for reserved front row (must be reserved by e-mail), $10 adult general admission, $5 child general admission and $5 for college and high school students (must present school ID). Matches start at 7:30 p.m.

Cowboy Junkie To Appear At Mercyhurst On June 21st

by Amontillado Kerouac-Gazookus

 

Get the Cowboy Junkies right. They are musicians, yes, creating sound environments, wizards, producing altered states disguised as songs. Cowboy Junkies feature a female singer, only occasional male voices. Lyrics to listen to, in English. I can’t detect a Canadian accent, can you?


Their usual groove is melancholy, plenty, a dark and lonely place in the heart, where the walls are brick and the only new thing is a new way to go down. A frozen corner of Duluth, gloved fingers texting on a cell phone, no sign of any sleigh crossing the full moon.
          
They like to lope, the Cowboy Junkies, maintaining that horsey rhythm and you’re Daddy, walking five year-old Lucille around the pony track, where was that, Wellsboro? Maybe you’re the five year-old.
          
And as for covers, “Sweet Jane”, sure, but what about “Walking After Midnight”? Mostly the Cowboy Junkies play originals. You might recognize one.
          
Here’s hoping the Cowboy Junkies hit the heights, like “Working On A Building”. I’m ready to be transformed, me and Rosie, shoulder to shoulder, living in the present moment, and it’s this Sunday, the sonic environment a virtual church, engaging our deepest beliefs.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Summer Solstice Celebration On June 21

 

Snow Water Grove, ADF Summer Solstice June 21st (Contact for location) It's with great pleasure that the druids of Snow Water Grove, ADF would like to invite all folks of the community to join in celebration of Midsummer on Sunday June 21st.

The time of year when we honor the height of the Sun in all Her glory, and her standing still if but for a brief time, within a Norse style ritual.

The celebration will be held at private property on route 27 at the Crawford County/Venango County line with pre-ritual briefing for song learning and what to expect during ritual at 3pm, and ritual to commence at 4:00pm.For detailed directions to the site, please email the address at the bottom of the article, and we'd be happy to give further information. Parking is limited and if organizers know you are coming they can help provide safe parking.

This is a primitive camp space, with little facilities, so come prepared, there are no structures or power on the property. The only heat source will be a fire.

A pot luck feast will follow the ritual, as usual (think camp food)

Donations welcomed, but not required, which helps us plan for rental space in the winter months and improvements to the land for future use. Donations of non-perishable food will also be collected to bolster the Unitarian Universalists food pantry efforts, as well as rechargeable batteries (including old cell phone or computer batteries, as long as they're under 11lbs). We very much appreciate any efforts. If you have questions about the event, or need directions to the rite please feel free to contact us at info@snowwatergrove.org.

 

 

 

 

 

Erie River Rats and Second Harvest Food Bank Team Up to Tackle Hunger  

On Saturday night, June 27, 2009, the Erie RiverRats will host the defending AIFA champion Florence Phantoms at the Tullio Arena in the season finale for both teams. The Erie RiverRats and the Second Harvest Food Bank are teaming up on this special occasion to help tackle hunger in the Erie area, and we need your help. 

The Second Harvest Food Bank is a nonprofit charitable organization committed to the premise that all persons have the right to adequate nutrition.  

In 1982, its first year of operation, Second Harvest distributed 444,916 pounds of food to 40 agencies. In 2008, Second Harvest distributed over 7 million pounds of food to more than 300 member agencies. 

Unfortunately, it still isn’t enough and more needs to be done. That’s where we all come in. 

The Erie RiverRats are asking the great football fans of Erie to help us collect food that Second Harvest can distribute to those that desperately need it. In appreciation of a donation of non-perishable food items, the Erie RiverRats are giving out vouchers redeemable at the Tullio Arena Box office as part of our special ticket price offer to support the Second Harvest Food Bank. The BUY ONE GET ONE FREE Ticket Offer is $12.00 and 50% of the proceeds from this program will be donated by the Erie RiverRats to the Second Harvest Food Bank in honor of our great fans. 

For advance ticket sales to purchase the “Erie Tackles Hunger” BUY ONE GET ONE FREE Ticket Promotion, please visit the Tullio Arena Box Office or call them at 814-452-4857. 

Proceeds from sales will benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank of Erie

VIRTUAL NEW YORK

by Chuck Joy

 

Rick grinned

glad to see him, Drew

Laura grinned, too

How do you do?



Your new space, Drew

asked, Let’s see it



inside, a stage

had been cleared, the walls

painted, Tuscan yellow

sky blue trim, chairs

nicely assembled,

a coffee service, yes
