You Should See What's Happening At The Zoo
by Rob Taylor
When I was a kid I lived in Akron, Ohio and one of my favorite places to go was the Akron Zoo. Back then they had bears in decent sized cages but they were nothing but concrete, bars and a den for the bears to sleep in. The gorilla cage was worse. It was maybe 8ftX8ft, no toys or anything else…just a cage and a floor. Sadly, her cage was pretty much the same as the cougar, lion and everything else in the park.
I moved up here in 1979 the zoo here was somewhat better but still not quite what it could have been. Yeah, the bears, lions and tigers had plenty of room but animals like the leopard were pretty much relegated to the smaller cages where they just wandered around aimlessly. Like I said…that was 1979 when that was pretty much the norm for zoos.
It has been a few years since I visited the zoo. I actually went this last Sunday and I was shocked how much things have changed since the last times I went. Every animal has its own beautifully landscaped little world to live in.
The rhinos, at one time, were housed in the zoo’s main building. It was not a happy sight to see. Their pen was too small for an animal that size and extremely boring. Now, they…yes, I said they…are in a very large area that has been landscaped to look exactly like the savanna of the animal’s homeland on the African plains. They have tons of room to walk, run and play…if rhinos play…and from what I seen a lot of people seem to like it cause there was a crowd hanging around their pen.
Every pen for every animal had been designed for the ANIMAL’S comfort. The zoo has tried to match, as closely as possible, the terrain where the animals live when they are in the wild.
One other exhibit that the Erie Zoo offers is a free wandering wallaby pen. Now, it isn’t like the other exhibits. You are not separated by walls, bars or glass. There is just a rope and that is to control where the people go, not the animals! While I was there two wallabies walked up the path and “played” with a couple little kids. It was so great watching the kids play and laugh as the animals “kissed” them.
Speaking of kids…the Erie Zoo has a whole set-up just for them. They offer a petting zoo with the traditional goats and sheep but they also have donkeys, llamas and something that looks like a small brahma bull called a Zebu. It also has educational, interactive games and a play gym that reminds me of a McDonald’s Playplace but it seems to be a lot more fun than anything McDonald’s has to offer since there is always a line of kids waiting to go in and parents have a hard time getting their kids to come out.
Now, here is something to help you…our readers…save some money. A lot of people don’t know that there is a time when you can enjoy the zoo and it won’t cost you a penny to get it. Every Sunday, from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. there is no admission price for the zoo. Everything is open, all of the animals are still on display and there are a lot of people enjoying themselves…the only difference is there is that you get in for free.
All in all…the Erie Zoo is a new zoo. If you haven’t been there in a while…make it a point to go at least once this summer. You will see some of the world’s most beautiful animals, beautiful landscaping and you’ll be spending a couple of hours outside in the nice, warm summer sun…what more could you ask for???
The Erie Zoo is open from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Mondays through Saturdays and 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $7 for adults, $6 for seniors and $4 for children aged 2-11. Children under 2 are free. For more information, check out
www.eriezoo.org.
There is one thing I miss from the zoo of my youth. They always had free-roaming peacocks wandering around the park. It was so great hearing their cry and watching them spread their tail feathers. It was something that I will never forget. Now, if only the Erie Zoo could get a couple...

CultureSpark Cultural Planning Process for Erie County Begins
ArtsErie invites Artists and Cultural Organizations to participate in July open forums
Allison Counasse, Program Associate, Marketing
(814) 452-3427 office • (814) 882-9058 mobile • allison@artserie.org
ArtsErie is pleased to announce the implementation of CultureSpark, a year-long cultural planning process designed to identify the issues, strengths and challenges for cultural development throughout Erie County. CultureSpark will engage civic and cultural leaders and members of the community at large in dialog about the role, value and outcomes of cultural development.
Bill Bulick of Creative Planning, Portland, Ore. will facilitate the process. Bulick will conduct qualitative and quantitative research, facilitate community dialog and develop the Cultural Master Plan. Surale Phillips of Decision Support Partners, Bozeman, Mont. will assist. Phillips will be responsible for data analysis by using geodemography, which studies the demographic characteristics of individuals in a particular location.
The CultureSpark task force will host two open forums in July for artists and cultural organizers:
CultureSpark Artists’ Forum: Artists and creators of all kinds are invited to attend the CultureSpark Artists’ Forum on Wed., July 8, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. at Latino’s Restaurant (1313 Parade St., Erie). RSVP by calling ArtsErie at 452-3427 or emailing info@artserie.org by July 2nd.
CultureSpark Cultural Organizations Forum: Representatives of arts, culture and heritage organizations, cultural businesses (galleries, workshops, dance studios, etc.) and community-based organizations that provide cultural programming are invited to attend the CultureSpark Cultural Organizations Forum on Thurs., July 9, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. at Downey Hall, Episcopal Cathedral of St. Paul (134 W. 7th St., Erie). RSVP by calling ArtsErie at 452-3427 or emailing info@artserie.org by July 6th.
CultureSpark will also provide opportunities for participation through other forums and task forces that will address the specific issues that are identified in these open meetings. In addition, a working committee and a steering committee are forming to help organize and work through the process of developing a creative vision for Erie County.
“Studies show that arts and culture are vital to stimulating economic development. We anticipate that CultureSpark will be a catalyst for the continued revitalization of Erie County,” says Charlotte P. Mashyna, ArtsErie Executive Director, who coordinates CultureSpark with Robert F. Wooler, Director of The Nonprofit Partnership.
The final CultureSpark plan will incorporate a vision for cultural development; goals with specific strategies, expected outcomes, proposed implementation responsibilities and timelines; and a process to review implementation progress. CultureSpark will also generate ideas for arts and cultural organizations to jump-start how to think about marketing, message, tactics and partnerships.
The planning process began in May 2009 and is expected to conclude in April 2010. Participation on a community-wide basis is encouraged. Contact Charlotte P. Mashyna, ArtsErie Executive Director, or Allison Counasse, ArtsErie Marketing Associate, at 814-452-3427 for more information.

A3 Announces 2009/2010 Second Season
The All An Act Theatre located at 652 West 17th St in Erie has become one of the powerhouses in Erie theatre in the last year and a half. The way A3 works is that they have two seasons, spring and fall, with a hiatus during the heat of summer and the cold of winter.
Here is a schedule for the 2009/2010 Season – Part 2:
September 4th – 20th – Primal Fear – Adapted for the stage by David W. Mitchell and
Rob
Kocur, based on Paramount Pictures film and the best selling book by William Diehl.
A high-powered attorney takes on the case of a poor altar boy found running away from the scene of the grisly murder of the bishop who has taken him in.
The case becomes complex when the accused reveals that there may or may not have been a mysterious third person in the room during the murder.
The intensity builds when a surprise twist alters everyone's perception of the crime and what really happened...
**Warning!: This show contains mature language and situations that some may find offensive. It carries an “R” rating
October 9th – 25th – Cabaret – Directed by David W. Mitchell
The scene is a night club in Berlin, as the 1920's are drawing to a close. The Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience to the show and assures them that, whatever their troubles, they will forget them at the Cabaret. His songs provide wry commentary throughout the show.
On the train to Berlin we find Cliff, a young American writer, and Ernst, a German who surprises Cliff by putting his briefcase among Cliff's luggage at the German border. History is in the process of being made. Musical numbers include It Couldn't Please Me More, Willkommen, Cabaret, Don't Tell Mama and Two Ladies. We find Cliff on the train again, now leaving Berlin alone. He writes about Sally and the people of Berlin leading up to the Third Reich. It has been a tumultuous and heartbreaking era.
November 13th – 29th – Whose Wives Are They Anyway? – Directed by David W. Mitchell
After sending their wives shopping in New York, two well-meaning golfers are anticipating a fun filled golfing excursion on their own...until their new CEO arrives unexpectedly and wants to meet their wives, announcing that "Anyone who goes to a resort without their wife won't be employed with me."
The two men must hastily produce wives - one man talks the sexy receptionist into portraying his wife, but the only other person available to be the second wife is the other man!

Erie Band Video Of The Week: Whiplash
Jazz Poetry Night At The Erie Bookstore
by Amontillado Kerouac-Gazookus
This Friday night, June 26th, at Poetry Scene, Erie Book Store, 137 E 13, it’s Jazz Poetry Night, 6:30 – 8PM. Free admission.
Jazz Poetry Night. That’s the theme, an opportunity for everyone who takes the stage to swing variations. Or not. Jazz is suggested as a theme, it’s not a rule. The stage is open, for the entire session.
If you play by the rules, or not-rules, you can stand and read a poem about jazz. Or you could read a poem about some other music, maybe classical, maybe a short piece inspired by La Traviata.
Another poet might attempt to improvise his lines, in honor of jazz. Another poet might stand up and sing, every poet wants to sing. You might see someone play the guitar or the saxophone. That could happen. Anything could happen.
Jazz Poetry Night is a component of Erie’s Summerlong Jazz Fest, a series of events coordinated by Mr. Carl
Hultman.
ANY PET LOVERS LOOKING FOR TWO LABS

Two gorgeous labs - trained - Seeking Home for Family Dogs
Cookie and Coco
Even if you cant take them, please pass this around!
Contact: Katherine at:kjmorris74@yahoo.com
"As many of you know, we are moving in just 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I have still not been able to find a good home for Cookie and Coco . We're not able to take our beloved doggies with us and I've been desperately trying to find a home for both of them 'together'. They were raised together and pine without each other. The Lab rescue have already said that they would probably separate them, so this is my last resort.
Recently I tried to take Coco out in my car alone and she TOTALLY refused to even get into the car without Cookie.....!!!! She absolutely pulled back on her haunches until Cookie was by her side. Both doggies are in great health, have been spayed and have ID chips implanted under the skin.
Cookie turned 3 December 10th and Coco turned 3 April 1st. Cookie is my mellow-yellow, and just loves her tummy rubbed. Coco is adorably funny and lives for her "ball." She also loves the water..... Cookie loves lots of attention. Both doggies are loyal and love to walk. They have been raised with my 3 kids running around all over the place, and have survived Sammy's constant hugging and love of 'dress-up', so they are fantastic family dogs. This is by far one of the most difficult decisions I have ever had to make, but under the circumstances I have no choice.
Please, please forward these pics to all your friends. I want to find a great home for these fabulous doggies. They are just adorable and it's heartbreaking to let them go. In a perfect world, I hope that we could find someone local so that we can still keep in touch and visit
them. I pray that someone, somewhere can help us keep Cookie and Coco together, and love them just as much as we
do. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. kjmorris74@yahoo.com

Hard As Nails A Mission to
Awaken Youth to the Power of God's Love
Saint
Peter's Cathedral graduate returns to Erie PA, for a two day book
signing.
Justin
Fatica, an amazing young man, has been teaching the word of God in
an unique way. He has found a new way to reach young adults
in our media-driven society.
Justin's
message of love and care shook up the world in December of 2007
with the HBO documentary "Hard as Nails"
directed by David Holbrooke. The movie brought attention from
Sirius Radio, Newsweek, ABC Nightline, GQ Magazine, New York
Times, Sony Entertainment, Buena Vista and many other media
outlets.
The Doubleday book Hard
as Nails is an outreach tool that will help adults to better
understand and assist our world's struggling youth. It will also
help youth leaders and
young adults grow in their faith, their love, and their admiration
for all of God's people. Hard as Nails is inspired by the
love of God and the power of youth ministry.
God has given Justin Fatica an
opportunity to share his message with the world. Justin has
touched millions of lives and has inspired many people to find out
about God's magnificent love. NOW YOU CAN BE A PART OF IT!
If you missed him at the beginning
of June or would love to see him again. Please join him at Mass on
June 26 & 27. On Saturday he will be at the 5:15pm Mass at St.
Peter Cathedral and on Sunday at all masses at Sacred Heart.
Visit his website
for more information about his book and his teachings.

"As many of you know, we are moving in just 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I have still not been able to find a good home for Cookie and Coco . We're not able to take our beloved doggies with us and I've been desperately trying to find a home for both of them 'together'. They were raised together and pine without each other. The Lab rescue have already said that they would probably separate them, so this is my last resort.
