Flying high

By Jaime Cohen and Jaimie Cohen · Thursday, Nov. 20,2003 12:23 a.m.

With grace, agility and style, Bernadette Pace glides gently through the air. She pulls herself into splits over the trapeze bar and dangles upside down before reaching out her hands in order to be caught. At 60 years old, this trapeze artist lives for free-falling. Set in the deep woods of her backyard, Pace practices her art on a genuine highflying trapeze with her local group, the High Flyers. She fell in love with the trapeze in the Denver YMCA in 1970 and has been perfecting her tricks ever since. In 1983, she relocated to Bloomington and knew she could not live without continuing her passion. "I was so addicted," Pace said. "I knew I'd just die if I didn't have one."

AVER'S

By C. Warner Sills and -Meghan Dwyer · Thursday, Nov. 20,2003 12 a.m.

Mad Mushroom didn't make it this year. I would claim to be disappointed, but I simply can't be, since their cheesesticks are the very reason I gained 30 pounds my freshman year.

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Nov. 20,2003 12 a.m.
