It’s somewhat hard not to, after all, whether you’ve stopped by Culver’s Kiwanis Club, Lions Club, Culver Lake Fest, Culver Redevelop- ment Commission, Ben- nett’s Contracting, or just around town. But the road from a childhood on State Street in Culver took Trent Ben- nett around the country from Rose-Hulman to the east coast, to India- napolis and beyond and through tragedy and tri- umph before eventually leading him back to State Street, in Culver. The Bennett name has long roots here. Trent’s mother, the late Sondra Kowatch was born here and raised in Burr Oak. His father, Leon, though born in Goodland, Ind., also grew up in Burr Oak, the two of them transitioning from childhood neighbors to high school sweethearts who married in Burr Oak. Sondra’s father, Jack Kowatch (who passed away recently) helped build a host of local structures, from the Lake Shore Clinic building, to his daughter’s first beau- ty salon. He also launched the business which would eventually become Ben- nett’s Plumbing and Heat- ing, still going strong today on Lake Shore Drive. In 1961, at its launch, it was Kowatch Painting and Dec- orating, though by 1965, when Leon took over, the Bennett’s title took over with him. And, says Trent, in spite of the name, Ben- nett’s has always been “50- 50 carpentry” as well as plumbing and heating. Up to his kindergarten year, Trent grew up at 515 N. State Street, today home to St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal Church. The family then bought 20 acres on State Road 17, just north of Culver, where eventually “Grandpa Jack” Kowatch built a home as well. A graduate both of Wes- ley Preschool and Culver Community High School (Sandra Middleton, his 3rd grade teacher, was Trent’s favorite, he recalls), Trent recounts fond memories of still-familiar names at the school: John Browder, he says, was in his first or sec- ond year when Trent’s class came through; Dan Adams taught both 7th and 8th grade math. Trent’s CCHS class of 1983 included Mike Elliott, Lori Bendy, John Flagg, and Barb Taiclet. Al- most 80 percent of the class were accepted at four-year colleges, he adds. Trent himself graduated in 1987, a civil engineering major under his belt, from Rose Hulman. “I always wanted to come back home,” he notes, “but I wanted to go out and work for somebody else to see how they do it, and then bring it back.” Eventually he landed a spot with Huber, Hunt, and Nichols, one of the largest general contracting firms in the U.S. with a specialty in building stadiums and other large-scale projects. Though the company was headquartered close to home in Indianapolis, Trent was first assigned a project in New Jersey, where he spent the next four years building Merrill Lynch’s corporate headquarters out- side Princeton. It was during this period he met his first wife, Chris, whose twin sister was dat- ing Trent’s Purdue gradu- ate roommate. Chris and Trent met at an annual Hunt meeting in Indianapolis in 1989, and Trent followed up by asking Chris to the company Christmas party See Bennett page 2 See Briefs page 3 By Jeff Kenney Citizen editor The Culver community’s remarkable rallying around the Reinhold family in re- cent months was largely the result of the efforts of Cul- ver Elementary 6th grader Reilly Reinhold’s initial fund-raising project for the ALS Association of India- napolis last fall. Last week, representatives of that or- ganization made the trek from Indianapolis to Culver to surprise Reilly with rec- ognition of, and apprecia- tion for her efforts. Last fall, Reilly orga- nized a “pajama day” at the school, with students paying for the opportunity to come to school in their sleepwear. Proceeds went to the ALS Association, which battles Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Reilly’s father, Culver Comm. High School graduate Rob Rein- hold, was diagnosed with the disease the previous year.

The band program, however, will need a bit of help from the community. Crittendon notes today’s uniforms, originally purchased in 1987, are around 10 years past their normal life expec- tancy. “No matter how well you take care of it, there’s nothing you can do,” he says. “We’ve had so many broken hats and thrown away different parts that are just unclean, dingy white and can’t be fixed.” About three years ago, Crittendon contacted Demoulin, the national standard company for manufacture of band uniforms, and began discussion of design for a new uni- form. The company made a sample uniform for a student to try on, which Crittendon has at the school. However, the band program was “nowhere near finan- cially able to purchase new uniforms” at the time. Each uniform, including clothing parts, hat, storage bag, and shipping is $390, and the total cost for the 40 needed (which includes current needs and a few extras to cover different sizing needs in the future) is $16,000. Students are responsible for buying shoes and gloves which they will keep after completing their time in band and are not charged rental or other fees for use of uniforms. In recent years, Crittendon has been dedicating portions of the band’s spring and fall fund-raisers to a uniform sub- category. That fund had $1,500 in it five years ago when Crittendon first began as CCHS band director. Since then, it’s been built to the point that the program has 75 per- cent of the money needed for new uniforms. Right now, he explains, the uniform fund is around $4,000 short of the needed total. He hopes to have the order placed this year, prior to a two to three percent increase in costs next year. Timing of the order may also determine whether students will have new uniforms in time for the start of school this fall. Any monies brought in beyond the needed cost of the order, notes Crittendon, will be set aside for dry cleaning at least once a year, a fairly rare expense of late, since current uniforms are too old to benefit much from cleaning. While CCHS doesn’t presently have an official Music Boosters program, a number of band parents have become active in working towards the new uniforms. Crittendon says he understands some community members complain at paying $15 for a box of candy or other item during band fund-raisers, but “you’re basically helping with a donation, we’re giving you a token of appreciation (in the form of candy or other items).” See Uniforms page 2 Band director looks to community to replace 25-year-old uniforms The comeback kid Big-city success, tragedy behind him, Bennett returns to serve Culver PHOTO/MISSY TRENT Recognizing Reilly CENTER: Reilly Reinhold (second from right) sparked a community- wide effort to rally around her father, Rob (seated, with wife Rhonda at left) in recent months as he battles ALS.

If you’ve been active in Culver over the past year or so, it’s likely you’ve run into Trent Bennett. It’s somewhat hard not to, after all, whether you’ve stopped by Culver’s Kiwanis Club, Lions Club, Culver Lake Fest, Culver Redevelop-ment Commission, Ben-nett’s Contracting, or just around town.

Those who have witnessed the Culver Community High School band in a parade or other event of late may not know it, but they’ve been watching uniforms now aged 25 years, something band director Jason Crittendon hopes to correct this year. The band program, however, will need a bit of help from the community.

Crittendon notes today’s uniforms, originally purchased in 1987, are around 10 years past their normal life expec-tancy.

two months later, after which the two “really starting dat-ing,” he says. At first, the relationship was “long distance.”

“It was back and forth, back and forth, and I decided I wanted to move back here (to Indiana),” he recalls. “The career path with Hunt was: you moved from project to project, the superintendents told me. Wherever their kids got to marrying age, that’s where they left them. That’s not what I wanted, to move my kids every three or four years around.”

Trent’s career track was shaping up, he says, to be “white collar project management,” which meant he’d fly for a week at a time all over the country.

“You can’t go to dance recitals or coach the Little League team. So I came back.”

Landing a job with a construction management group at Indianapolis International Airport saw him managing infrastructure there and working on a $60 million, large-scale commercial development project.

Less than two years into his airport work, Trent former roommate Jeff married their twin sweethearts in a double wedding, a “huge event,” Trent says. His and Chris’ first son Blake was born in 1994, followed in 1997 by Kyle. Chris continued her work as a paralegal up to Kyle’s birth, after which the couple concluded Chris should stay home with the children.

“For us family was important,” he explains. “We’ve al-ways been able to pay for cars with no car loans, so we tightened the belt up a little more. I said, ‘Come on home.’”

Meantime, Trent “poured my heart and soul” into a de-velopment company based in South Bend and Washing-ton, DC, though he worked out of Indianapolis. For the next eight years, he worked hard in hopes of a partnership in the group.

When that didn’t materialize, Trent decided to walk away, plans of forming a real estate group swimming about in his head.

Two days after he quit, however, Chris was preparing for a swim with her mother on what happened to be her 41st birthday when arm pains hit her. After extensive test-ing, doctors found a huge mass just above Chris’ heart.

It turned out Chris had thymoma, a rare cancer whose treatment includes removal of the thymus gland. Had her cancer been stage 1, Trent says, Chris likely would have recovered, but her stage 4 status led to removal of part of her lung, extensive radiation, seven years of chemo treat-ments, and eight surgeries.

Unable to set his sights on a real estate venture under the circumstances, Trent took an “8 to 5” job with a site utility company before taking a job with the company of a friend from church.

Church, Trent notes, became an important part of his family’s life. They became active in St. Luke’s Catholic Church in Indianapolis, where they were married, the chil-dren attended school, Trent coached Little League, and the family as a whole found an “awesomely supportive” home.

Chris passed away May 17, 2009, leaving a grieving Trent to consider his next move. He’d always considered coming back to Culver, and his recent work had been geared primarily towards financial security and stability. As time went on, the prospect of returning to his childhood home began to appeal more and more to Trent Bennett.

“It was a year since Chris had passed...I asked myself, ‘Why do I live in Indianapolis?’ The answer was, my wife’s family....Chris didn’t want to live (in Culver). I modified my life for my family.”

Enter Dana .Though she grew up partly in Indiana, Dana graduated

high school in Plano, Texas, and earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas State University, later earning a Master’s in Counseling and Psychology from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio.

She long felt a pull to return to Indiana, something she acquiesced to eventually, taking a job in Indianapolis with Damar Services, where she worked with adolescents suf-fering from neurological deficits and behavioral difficul-ties.

Dana had known Trent through Chris, and the two be-gan chatting about child-related concerns, later becoming friends.

Chris, says Trent, always insisted he find another mate after she was gone, and in fact made lists of potential can-didates she felt would make him happy.

At one point in her growing friendship with Trent, says Dana, “It was like God hit us over the head. It was like, ‘This is what’s happening with the two of you.’

“We’ve talked about the loss of Chris,” she notes, “and him moving on. I know how much he loved her and cared for her all those years. He is somebody that wanted to love again. He loves life; he loves to love, and wants to share life with somebody. And he is somebody (with) Chris be-ing sick, he moves through it and tries to embrace family, and kind of use a difficult situation to do the best that he can.”

Dana says she’s always preferred smaller towns to big-ger cities, so the prospect of moving to Culver wasn’t problematic for her.

“At that time I was actually already an owner of Ben-netts,” Trent explains. “When dad slowed down eight years ago, we agreed to buy him out, the three of us: Cindy Carter, myself, and Todd Bennett. Dad was still working in the company until two years ago. He was the market-ing arm; he was very personable. And guys in town would always pressure me to come back to town. We decided to make it work.”

Since Trent’s return, he says, Bennetts has enhanced its marketing efforts, and he’s been engaged in a fair amount of design work, besides adding another plumber and car-penter. With a few exceptions, most of their work is in Culver.

“Most of our people have been with us a long time,” he says. “It’s like family. We do carpentry, plumbing, heat-ing, lawn, and handyman services. And we offer cottage services in the winter months. Any day if it’s below freez-ing, we’re in 60 houses around the lake. We check that the heat’s still on and there were no burglaries.”

The couple also wanted Trent’s sons to attend Culver Academies, so they chose to live on Academy Road, close to both schools in Culver.

“It’s been fun returning to the hood,” Trent smiles. “I can say, ‘I learned to ride my bicycle on that sidewalk!’ And we get to have a golf cart.”

Dana and Trent were married last June at Culver Acad-emies’ Memorial Chapel after he proposed on a boat in the middle of Lake Maxinkuckee.

“I planned it all out so if she said ‘no,’ I was going to kick her out of the boat,” Trent jokes.

Since arriving, the two have also thrown themselves into serving their community.

“At a young age I was a Boy Scout member and I saw what the parents did. I played Little League and saw all the volunteer time. I joined Rotary in Indianapolis...and also got involved in not-for-profits.

“My grandmother sent me the Culver Citizen as a gift when I went away to school in 1983. I have had a subscrip-tion everywhere I’ve lived, so I’ve really kept up with Cul-ver, at least through the Citizen. I don’t know everybody in town anymore, but I’ve always believed in service.”

Upon his return, Trent became involved with the Lake Fest committee as its P.R. person and he soon joined Cul-ver’s Kiwanis Club. Soon, he was convinced to join Lions, who had named his father “Citizen of the year” several years ago.

“You can’t live here and not know what the Lions do. I saw Lions as a place for Dana and I to get involved.” he notes, as Dana chimes in her love of the fun, joking atmo-sphere of the club.

Trent adds he wants to be seen as part of a whole with Dana, “not as separate entities,” emphasizing the central-ity of family to both their identities.

Besides his serving last year on the Redevelopment Commission and present service on Second Century and in Culver’s Chamber of Commerce, Trent has thrown his efforts into the Marshall County Builders Association as well.

Dana started work at Culver Academies last summer counseling students, following a period of letting Trent’s sons get to know her better, and her own getting to know the community better. She’s also become involved in the Culver-based women’s service organization LIFT.

The couple’s outlook might be best summed up by the motto Trent recalls from his days at Camp Tecumseh: “God first, others second, me third.”

And, he says, Culver is home. “Does it mean more to me to give back here? I think it

does. I really want the best for this community. This is it: Culver. I’ll always want to be here as home base.”

CCHS’ marching band plays regularly at parades, home football games, Purdue’s “Band Day,” and other events. Crittendon hopes the new uniform design will also be fea-sible for non-marching events such as in-school concerts.

The band is funded in two primary ways: through the aforementioned fund-raisers led by students themselves, and via the school’s capital projects fund for “big ticket” items such as replacement of school-owned instruments like tubas. The day-to-day operating budget includes in-strument repair, music, supplies, and entry fees for con-tests. These are funded through the band’s extracurricular account, “so it’s pretty self sufficient,” he says.

Crittendon took the lead in designing the planned new uniforms, which he says combine contemporary styles with existing components. Staying on will be the “Aus-sie” style hat which reflects Culver’s “Cavalier” motif bet-ter than helmets or other marching hats; and the uniform’s cape, which he feels also maintains the “Cavalier” look.

The current uniform combines a pant, jacket, cummer-bund, dickey (or ruffle), chain, and cape. The new style eliminates the cummerbund, chains, and dickeys. A one-piece jacket with built-in sash and cape, and “bibbers” with built-in suspenders instead of regular pants, make up the new uniform.

“It’s more modern for the current styles of marching band uniforms. The old uniforms were bought the same time I was a freshmen in Knox at the time — they had the same style: the ruffled, formal look. These new ones are much more sleek, a down-to-business kind of style.”

The new color scheme, Crittendon adds, incorporates more of the Cavaliers’ orange, replacing the mostly black and white uniforms from the 1980s.

“This will have an orange sash, plume, cape, and orange writing. They’re more school color oriented than the older one.”

Anyone interested in helping facilitate the new uniforms may do so by way of the band’s spring fund-raiser, or by bringing donations to Crittendon at the school, or mailing them to the school at 701 School St., Culver, IN 46511.

Two businesses have already sponsored a whole uni-form, at $390, something anyone is welcome to do, says Crittendon.

“With the situation financially in the state with schools,” he notes, “there just isn’t enough money from schools. We’re lucky to still have active band and choir programs at all grade levels in Culver. So many schools are losing their programs. We’re very fortunate that we’re looking at ordering uniforms.

“Hopefully the community in a town this size appreci-ates (these) programs entertaining at athletic programs and representing the community out and about,” he adds, “and of course there’s the musical education of the students. It’s learning that helps them in so many other subjects. We’re very fortunate to have the staffing and equipment to do that.”

project. The entire 6th grade gathered in the school’s me-dia center “pit” for the presentation.

“I was impressed with this young girl who was in the middle of her journey with ALS, a disease that will even-tually take her father away from her,” says Wise. “And she is determined to do something about it. She wants to raise funds and awareness which is what she did. It is go-ing to take awareness and educating people to the disease to raise the funds needed to eradicate this disease. It is a horrible disease with no known cure. It was important for me to let Reilly and all her classmates know that everyone can do something and that something will one day lead to a cure.”

Wise says Scantlen had been working with the Reinhold family to help them navigate the Association’s programs and services.

“She had never had an opportunity to actually meet them,” explains Wise, “so she was anxious to help share important information to the students and have the face to face time with Reilly’s family.”

Trent worked to keep the event secret from Reilly. “I thought they were just there to educate us about ALS,”

Reilly says. “I was just so surprised that they would come thank me in person. I thought I might get a thank you card in the mail. I never thought these two ladies would take time out of their day to come thank me.”

After recognizing Reilly and giving her two t-shirts, Wise and Scantlen talked to the students about ALS. See-ing Rob Reinhold at the back of the room in his wheelchair was particularly impactful for the students, says Trent.

“I knew her dad was in a wheelchair,” student Dylan Lewandowski told Trent later, “but I never knew how bad (ALS) really was.”

The biggest surprise about ALS, said student Raymie Shoop, was “realizing (Reilly’s) dad can hear you but can’t communicate with you. It must be very difficult to feel that way.”

During audience question and answer time, Scantlen said the ability to see and hear goings-on around one, but not be able to communicate easily, is one of the most frus-trating aspects of ALS.

“It’s hard for us to get donations to find a cure because people don’t tend to think about ALS,” added Scantlen. “Unlike cancer, people might (say), ‘Oh, you’re collect-ing for cancer? Here is some money.’ So getting donations for ALS is very important. We can’t find a cure without money.”

Wise and Scantlen also discussed ALS fund-raising walks, encouraging Reilly to consider launching such an event in Culver.

Reilly says her parents were pleased by the presentation and ALS education.

“My dad was glad it happened,” she adds.Thanks to Missy Trent for assistance with this article.

VALPARAISO — The Valparaiso University Office of Institutional Advancement announced the ap-pointment of Chet Marshall, of Cul-ver, as a Major Gifts Officer.

Marshall’s background across a number of businesses, including start-ups and operating his own mar-keting/printing operation, brings a professional diversity that has served him well in his role as the former Di-rector of Culver Academies’ Annual Fund and as a Leadership Gift Offi-

cer in the By Example campaign that brought $376 million to the Academies. His five years as Director of the Annual Fund at Culver are the five largest Annual Fund cash-in totals in the history of the school and participation rates increased from 11% to 34% during that same time period

At Valparaiso, Marshall’s focus will be on identifying, cultivating and securing major gifts for the school. He at-tended Appalachian State University and earned a Bach-elor of Science in Biology/Chemistry from IUPUI and did additional business studies at the University of New Orleans.

When asked if this means his family will be leaving Culver, Marshall answered, “The best part about this op-portunity is that our family will remain in Culver. In this digital world, one can work from anywhere. Culver is a very special place for us and we are very happy that we will continue to call it home.”

For over 150 years, Valparaiso University has been a community dedicated to excellence, grounded in the Lu-theran traditions of scholarship, freedom and faith. Five undergraduate colleges, a graduate and law school wel-come 4,000 students from across the United States and 45 foreign countries.

Culver’s Marshall joins Valpo as Major Gifts Officer

CULVER — Brian K. Johnson, 46, of Culver passed away Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2012 at Hospice House in Elkhart.

Brian was born May 8, 1965 to Robert and Donna John-son, into all the torment and love that comes with being the youngest of five children. He graduated from Culver High School in 1983 as a proud trombonist for the marching band and a sports enthusiast. He enjoyed playing softball, tennis, bowling, golf, and volleyball; always seeking to share his enthusiasm with others, he later served as the ten-nis coach for Culver Community High School for several years. As a spectator, he was an avid Indiana University basketball fan.

Brian was a spring maker at Winamac Coil for 24 years and recently worked for Midwest Spring in Mentone. Brian loved cooking and had a special love for all things deep-fried; he owned a deep fryer just to make sure that his pre-cooked fries were saturated in a satisfactory amount of grease. He harbored a firm belief that the cure for all things was a big, greasy cheeseburger.

Brian left behnd his mother, Donna Johnson of Culver; sister Cynthia (Dennis) Reichard of Rochester; brothers Robert (Helen) Johnson Jr. of Michigan City, Kevin John-son and Sven Johnson of Culver; daughters: Kathleen, Hannah, Haley, and Olivia of Walton.

He left his shoes by the door and his closet open; he left his favorite sweatshirt on the back of his chair. He left an empty seat at Christmases and graduations and weddings. He left an absence large enough to touch the lives of ev-eryone he loved and everyone who loved him; he left years he had yet to live.

Anyone who knew Brian will never forget him. He was a friend to everyone, short trips to the grocery turned into long excursions just by conversing with whoever he ran into, whether he knew them or not. He could lose hours driving around the lake and loved to go out in thunder-storms just to look at the lightning, probably singing along to Phil Vassar. He laughed loudly and told the same three jokes to anyone who would listen. He was a force of nature and will be missed with the same fierceness with which he lived.

A time of sharing memories with the family will be held at the Odom Funeral Home in Culver Saturday, March 3, 2012 from 4 to 7 p.m. The committal and burial will be private.

Memorials may be given to the Hospice House in Elkhart. Condolences may be sent via the obituary page at www.odomfuneralhome.com.

The Odom Funeral Home, Culver, is in charge of ar-rangements.

Last week’s Mystery Citizen, Larry Berger, was long associ-ated with long-standing Culver business East-erday Construc-tion, where son Kevin is now at the helm. In more recent years, Larry has helped steer the First National Bank of Monterey as a trustee of its board.

Recogniz ing Larry were Cindy Riester, Jim and Barb Jones, Kay Tusing, Marizet-ta Kenney, Brett Overmyer,

Turning back to our previous week’s Mystery Citizen, readers Clara Hansen, Patty Stallings, Judy Sawhook, and Mary Tou-sley all recog-nized Rosalie Bonine after press time.

This week, we’re doing something a bit different with this contest, based on the

suggestion of a couple of read-ers: a sort of “two-for-one” special edition of the Mystery Citizen. The two young men pictured here are pic-tured side-by-side at one popular loca-tion in Cul-ver. As their photos may make obvious, both graduated (though at dif-ferent times) from a famous local institu-tion, and both have become familiar faces in the commu-nity in more

recent times, though in dif-ferent capacities. We’ll fea-ture an unusual follow-up

photo as part of next week’s ex-planation.

BELOW: Last week’s Mystery Larry Berger, then (left) and now. ABOVE: This week’s Mystery Citizen.

Hydration is one of the most important, yet most com-monly overlooked components to wellness. In this month’s column, I will address three commonly asked questions:

1. Why is hydration important to both active and seden-tary people?

2. Can any drink substitute for water?

3. How much do we really need to drink each day?

Water is the very basis behind our cells functioning at proper levels, leading to tissues, organs and muscles working together for peak activity patterns. A well-hydrated individual will not become a super-hero overnight, but improvement in digestion, energy levels, sleeping, recovery from illness and top physical performance will be noticed.

Water has several roles in the human body. It gives structure and form to cells and tissues, and it provides the medium for movement of heat from the core of the body to the surface. Water can be considered a nutrient because the correct metabolism of all other nutrients depends on the availability of sufficient water for correct biochemistry to occur. Protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and miner-als require water for correct assimilation and distribution. If someone who’s hydration is limited, that person’s whole system becomes compromised because the transport me-dium – water – is not present in sufficient amounts.

Drinking just any type of liquid does not necessarily lead to effective hydrating. Some liquids have a better ability to hydrate a person’s body while other beverages do noth-ing to enhance, and in some cases, even cause dehydration.

Water is the number one beverage to completely hydrate your body. (The purest source of water is distilled.) For people who dislike the taste of water, flavored water can be an option. 100% fruit and vegetable juices are another great alternative. Make sure you purchase concentrated brands or simply eat raw fruits and vegetables. Some of the best sources containing plenty of water content in-clude: watermelon, strawberry, grapefruit, cantaloupe, pineapple, orange, apricot, blueberry, apple, cucumber, celery, spinach and broccoli. A cup of tea or coffee can be soothing, but provides very little hydration. Soft drinks actually contribute to dehydration.

The ability of a given drink to improve hydration is de-pendent on the preexisting hydration state of an individual. The use of a sports drink by a well hydrated person will give a much different result to the use of the same drink by a dehydrated competitor. The use of a caffeine beverage will result in a greater degree of dehydration than if the drink was taken with a glass or two of water on a regular basis. Drinking plenty of water and juices every day pro-vides freedom to enjoy other beverages periodically.

How much should a person drink each day? The amount varies from person to person because of gender, age, level of activity, mental condition and environment. However, the baseline amount is 8 glasses a day of 8 ounces each. If you are like me, the eight glass rule always seemed too difficult to keep track of. Plus, at first glance, appears like an excessive amount. So instead, visualize the standard 20 oz. Styrofoam cup at your local convenience store, and consume three of those throughout the day. Sixty ounces is the starting point for the average person. Depending on your personal situation, let your body set the correct intake on an hourly basis by drinking every time you feel thirsty.

How much water do I really need?

Concert reviewby Rachel Meade

Stringfever, a London-based electric string quartet composed of three broth-ers and a cousin, performed on Valen-tine’s Day at Culver Academies to an enthusiastic crowd of cheering students and townspeople.

The group’s goofy sense of humor and skill at working a crowd shone through the entire performance, creating the kind of participatory energy more typi-cally seen at rock concerts than classical performances. Perhaps this is due to the quartet’s unusual background of both classical training, and busking (perform-ing on the street for money).

The two violinists, brothers Ralph and Giles, studied at the prestigious London conservatory, The Royal Academy of Music, and spent their breaks perform-ing on the street to pay for expenses. It was through a fellow street musician that the group first encountered their unusual instruments— in the hands of a Canadian-born man on a unicycle, who just happened to be a maker of electric violins.

According to Stringfever’s emcee Ralph, the groups’ brightly colored five and six-stringed violectras (electric vio-lins, cellos, and violas) are extremely versatile, allowing them to easily switch between an electric and classical sound in concert. The additional string on the cello allowed for the most incredible feat of the evening— a performance of French composer Ravel’s famous bal-let, Bolero, with all four members of the quartet playing the same cello. Mean-while, two Academies teachers, chosen by popular demand (yelling and point-ing by students), were handed violins and instructed to pluck a single note at the finale.

The Broadbents’ one-instrument ren-dition was rich and layered, and remark-ably true to the original, despite the fact that a full symphonic orchestra typically performs the piece. However the most impressive and amusing aspect of the performance was watching the creative ways in which the four of them managed to find room to play the same instrument.

At one point, first violinist Giles stood on a stepstool and reached his bow arm under those of his two brothers, already bowing and plucking. Meanwhile, violist and cousin Graham played the rhythm section on the section of the

cello across the bridge, an area of the instrument that is not meant for playing on. Amazingly, Graham’s notes were crisp and clean. Adding to the spectacle, all four members of the group wore in-creasingly odd and contorted expres-sions. Cellist and human beat-boxer Neal feigned befuddled anxiety as his band-mates encroached upon his instru-ment and personal space.

Other highlights of the show included medleys of popular movie tunes, with the audience encouraged to try to guess the movies. The Broadbents offered clues along the way, such as posing as a deer and hunter for the movie Deerhunt-er, and movie impressions by Graham, in his gravely cartoonish voice.

In between their comedic acts, String-fever performed a number of quieter, more traditional pieces that demonstrat-ed their ability as classical musicians. This included two original compositions by members of the Broadbent family. One was by an uncle, and the other writ-ten by Ralph Broadbent at the age of 20, first publicly performed that night. Both pieces featured simple, slightly haunting melodies.

Halfway through an elegant rendition of Barber’s Adagio for Strings, the au-dience inappropriately started clapping before the conclusion, which would be a major faux pas at a traditional classi-cal concert. Normally, American audi-ences seldom cheer, clap, or otherwise participate until the absolute end of a piece- and clapping between movements of an orchestral piece will often generate

dirty looks from more seasoned concert-goers. This old-fashioned mode of clas-sical music consumption makes it fairly inaccessible, especially to those without much of an established interest who are accustomed to a different style of audi-ence interaction, such as kids and teens.

However, Stringfever’s marriage of popular music, comedy, and classical technique freed the audience from these traditional constraints. Those seeking to interest younger generations in the joys of classical music should look to Stringfever as an example. Throughout the show, their classical training was evident— they liberally used techniques such as pizzicato (plucking the strings), tremolo (very fast bowing), and harmon-ics (lightly touching the string to achieve an eerie, echo-like quality). However, half the time they executed these while holding the bow in their mouth, laying on the floor, jostling against one another, etc. The group certainly appeared to be having fun throughout— especially in their closing act, a gypsy song called “The Lark.” Throughout the piece, the Broadbents switched instruments sev-eral times, Neal at one point putting a violin between his knees and attempting to bow it like a cello, with a flummoxed expression on his face.

Leaving Stringfever’s performance, the hyped up audience was left with the knowledge that classical music can be just as fun, creative, and interactive as rock music or other types of popular mu-sic. Here’s hoping more groups follow their lead.

Sports briefsBy James Costello

Sports EditorCULVER — Ethan Pike had a ca-

reer night for Bremen, but even his game-high 26 points couldn’t coun-ter Culver’s offensive balance or the Cavs’ free-throw shooting.

Three players scored in double fig-ures for the Cavaliers led by junior point guard Collin Stevens’ 20, and Culver knocked down 14 of 19 char-ity tosses in the final quarter to hand the Lions a 54-50 Northern State Conference loss in the two teams’ regular season-closer at John R. Nel-son Gymnasium Friday.

Bremen and Culver were knotted at 30-all headed into the final frame and the Lions were still within one at 34-33 with 5:30 left to play before a 5-0 mini run on a layup by Jacoda Anderson and traditional 3-point play from fellow sophomore Trent Elliott stretched Culver’s lead to 39-33 with 4:38 remaining. From there, the Cavs poured in 11 of 15 freebies — Elliott finished 9 of 9 from the line and two Bremen players fouled out in the frame — to hold off the visitors for the win at the regular season cap-per.

“In that stretch in the fourth quarter we started being a little more aggres-sive with the ball,” said Culver head coach Kyle Elliott. “Trent got it go-ing a little bit more offensively, and we did a pretty good job for the most part tonight getting to the free-throw line. Getting ourselves to the free-throw line we thought was one of the keys before the game. We thought if we could get to the free-throw line at least we were being aggressive with the ball and not just settling for the perimeter shots. I thought our kids competed down inside, and that’s a tough team physically.”

Elliott finished with 18 points be-hind a team-high 20 from Stevens, who buried 4 of 9 3-pointers at the game, while Anderson chipped in 13 points with a game-best 13 rebounds as Culver enjoyed a 31-27 advantage off the glass.

“Collin Stevens, I was very pleased with him. He got in a little foul trou-ble there, but here as of late he’s been shooting the perimeter shots well,” said Kyle Elliott. “Obviously tonight, four 3s were a huge

help. As we continue and head into tournament play, that’s what we need, his consistency on the perimeter, and as of late it’s been there. As we get that it opens it up a little bit more for (Micah) Budz-inski and Anderson down inside. That was huge. And Collin’s our best free throw shooter, got there 11 times and hit eight of them to-night, and Trent Elliott was 9 of 9. Those are the two guys that we want the ball in their hands, and credit them tonight, they stepped up and hit some free throws.”

Bremen got most of its scoring from Pike, who tallied a career-high 26 points — a point better than his 25-point outing at Fair-field Feb. 4 — with four 3s, 9-of-16 shooting from the field and a 4-for-5 finish at the stripe. Pike went 5 of 6 from the field in the first half for 15 points before the break, but the junior forward took just one shot and went scoreless in the third before notching another 11 points in the final period.

Culver finishes out the regular season at 11-9, meanwhile, with a 3-4 NSC record. The Cavs drew the bye at the Class A Triton Sec-tional and will wait to play the winner of Tuesday’s tournament opener between the host Trojans and Oregon-Davis in the early semifinal Friday at 6:30 p.m.

“Heading into tournament play this is a huge win. It gives the kids a little bit of confidence. We’ve got a lot of work to do to win the sectional, but yet we’re not that far. If we come out and shoot the ball the way we’re capable of on Friday night, who knows in that semifinal? With the bye we’ll get a good look at Triton. Obviously it’s a team we know pretty well, and if they play the way they’re capable of they’ll advance to that Friday night match-up. The nice thing is in that bye bracket you do have a little bit of time to focus on who you think you’re going to play. Hopefully we can make some ad-justments and turn that around a little bit.” • CULVER 54,

worked diligently with college staff to keep costs down and to provide substantial financial aid for students attend-ing the college. This step of freezing tuition for the 2012-13 academic year is a further indication of the Board’s in-tent to keep Ancilla College an affordable choice for the students it serves. It is a further expression of our values and our mission.”

Board of trustees Chair John Chandler expressed that he, May, and the other Ancilla College board members “are acutely aware of the economic challenges that our students and our families have had to endure during these last cou-ple years. We feel that the value and the opportunity for an Ancilla education is very important and don’t want the financial piece to be an impediment for our students to be able to continue on with their educations at Ancilla.”

Chandler added the board felt the move is “very impor-tant in light of the many cutbacks that students are experi-encing both from federal and state financial aid and federal

and state loan programs.” In addition to the freeze, Ancilla College offers other

financial aid packages. The “REAch” (Rewarding Edu-cational Achievements), “Transfer” (transferring from another college), PACE (Placement Achievement for College Education), Catholic student, athletic, and other scholarships provide opportunities to help a wide variety of learners accomplish their education goals. Both part-time and full-time students can also apply for grants.

Those wishing to apply for state and federal needs-based grants can receive assistance filling out their Free Appli-cation For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) forms, as well. Students must file FAFSA forms by the March 10 deadline for state grants. Anyone interested in discussing their op-tions for an affordable education at Ancilla College can contact the Admissions office by calling 1.866.ANCILLA ext. 330, emailing [email protected], or visiting the college’s website at www.ancilla.edu.

CCHS’ Turney is National

Merit Scholar finalistCulver Comm. High School senior Cameron Turney was recently recog-nized by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation and is now a finalist in the competition for the National Merit Scholarship for 2012. She was selected from a pool of 16,000 semi-finalists throughout the U.S., a determination made from several criteria including PSAT perfor-mance, student academic records, and SAT scores. Turney received a perfect score on the critical reading portion of the SAT. CCHS principal Albert Hanselman, on behalf of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, presented Turney with a certificate honoring her accomplishment last Friday during halftime at the CCHS basketball game (pictured above). Later this spring, Turney will receive final notification concerning her status.

‘Honey’ of a journeyphoto provided

“Honey” the Bee, part of a 6th grade social studies program at a middle school in Sibley, Iowa, has been traveling the U.S. with Culver road warriors Don and Anna Neher of late. Anna says the couple adopted “Honey” in Burbank, Ohio, at which point she was already fairly well traveled, including a stint in Alaska. “We took her to New York, and then I-80 all the way to San Francisco,” she says, noting the photo here was taken in Sacramento, California on Valentines Day. The bee has a “diary” and some souvenirs in her back pack, and Anna has e-mailed a few pictures of her to the school. She says she will shortly hand the toy off to be adopted for a while by someone else. “I thought this was a neat program,” Anna adds, “and it was well received among my Facebook friends.”The Nehers have been driving truck across the country for several years now, and will be back in Culver in the near future.

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. — Sebastiana Basham of Culver was named to Olivet Nazarene University’s dean’s list for the fall, 2011 semester. To qualify for inclusion on the dean’s list, a student must have been enrolled as a full-time undergraduate student and must have attained a semester grade point average of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 grading scale.
