Wednesday night saw the Concert Orchestra in an unique concert atmosphere.

Although somewhat strange, this unique setup gave the audience a sort of "sampler-plate" of a broad range of musical styles and conducting personalities. And here's what was on the menu for Wednesday night:

Imagine a problem that affects 4,000 citizens of Bloomington each year. Imagine that 30% of those affected are children.

By Joe Grace · Thursday, Nov. 21,2002 11:37 p.m.

They say that God has a sense of humor, and I hope this is true. Why? Because a Pennsylvania-based environmental group will soon be rolling out a group of ads that asks the all-important question: "What Would Jesus Drive?"
