(Westport) The Depot Theatre is making sure its 40th year celebration reaches new heights with the opening of the Tony award winning musicaltribute to jazz great Fats Waller.
Depot Theatre’s production ofAin’t Misbehavin’ celebrates the Waller songbook with an ensemble cast that has the audience clapping, stomping, and rising out of their seats.
The simple set by Bonnie Brewer flows from the intimate feeling of an 1930s speakeasy to the glamorous Savoy Ballroom or Cotton Club. The cocktail tables surrounding the upright piano allows the cast the necessary space to move. Margaret Swick’s clever use of lighting creates the right amount of ambience whether she spotlights an individual artist or dims the…

Make Your Own Paper Beeswax Drinking Straws. Say No to Plastic! (paper straw templates)

Earth Day is Every Day!

I hate plastic drinking straws. My children both have been taught to say NO to the straw when we go out to eat. It isn't a perfect scenario. I understand that some people find it easier to drink out of a straw so here are some options to kick the plastic straw habit.

1) Get in the habit of saying No to the Straw. I have to remind myself to ask for "no straws" at a restaurants. It's a work in progress.

2) Purchase reusable stainless steel straws. I keep a container near the fridge where my children and their friends can grab a straw to use around the house. I also have one in my bag and a few in each car's glovebox.

To solve the issue of plastic outside the house, I looked into purchasing paper straws. Though inexpensive, the packaging and shipping can be an issue.

3) Make Your Own Paper Drinking Straws: It seems making paper straws would be a simple enough, and it is. Below are a few templates to make things easy for you. I used beeswax b…

Adirondack Hikes: Wilmington/Whiteface Bear Den Mountain FREE Trail Map (Flume Trails)

Our recent hike up Bear Den Mountain in Wilmington, NY (Whiteface Region) shouldn’t be confused with the similarly named “Bear Den,” which is the approach up Dial Mountain (High Peak #41) near the AuSable Club. Our fast, steady 2.2-mile hike starts near the Whiteface Mountain Ski Kids Kampus in Wilmington.

Since Whiteface is a busy resort, the lots are sometimes filled up at Whiteface, so we let the parking attendant know our destination is the Kids Kampus. This time the parking area has plenty of room for us to park. Depending on the season, micro-spikes or snowshoes are recommended.
The first section of the trail follows a ridge above the Bear Den parking area at Whiteface Mountain. Signs are sparse, but the trail is well marked thanks to the Barkeater Trail Alliance. Though Bear Den is our final destination we first enter the path on Trail 19, a nice level traverse. At 0.2-mile there is a yellow marker to the left, if taken, leads around and back to the Kids Kampus and some mount…
