Performance dates are Friday and Saturday, March 29-30 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 31 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10. For more information, visit the district website: www.HFCSD.org, or call 518-681-4206 during school hours. The Hudson Falls High School presents the thrilling tale, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”. What makes a monster and what makes a man? The Hunchback tells the story of Quasimodo, the disfigured bell-ringer of Notre Dame, and his wish to one day be a part of the world outside of his tower. When he builds up the courage to attend the Feast of Fools, he meets Esmeralda, a caring gypsy who protects him from an angry mob. At the same time, Quasimodo’s master, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, and the new captain of the guard, Phoebus de Martin, fall in love with the beautiful gypsy. Adding to Quasimodo’s struggle is his punishments from Frollo, following years of psychological abuse. Also the danger posed by the gypsies, who are willing to kill any outsiders who find their way into their secret hideout. Before Paris is burned to the ground, will Quasimodo be able to save Esmeralda from Frollo’s lust and anger? Will she return Quasimodo’s affection? Who is the true monster of Notre Dame? The two-act musical is directed by Nathan St. John, with music direction by Diane Havern. Featuring music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, and book by Peter Parnell, the musical is based on songs from the Disney film and the novel by Victor Hugo. Students ranging from grades 7 through 12 appear in the show and have proudly contributed their talents at all levels of production, from stage management to choreography, to publicity and set construction.* Although the musical uses songs from the Disney film, the show is based on the novel by Victor Hugo and is thus darker and explores more mature subject matter. *The Hudson Falls High School is one of 30 schools competing in the High School Musical Theatre Awards at Proctors.

Thurman Maple Days, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Athol Road, Thurman. Sugaring season is in full swing in Thurman, the little town with a big maple industry, just outside of Lake George. In a region where historically more families than not tapped sugar maples to make syrup for pancakes and sugar for baking, late winter is a time of intensive labor. Today’s maple producers carry on the traditions of their forebears as they trek into the sugar bushes, often on snowshoes or wearing crampons, to drill holes, set taps and run or repair lines to carry sap to the sugar houses for boiling and processing it into a multitude of sweet treats. Beginning March 16 and 17, continuing Saturdays and Sundays through March 31, five Thurman maple producers — four of them the largest in Warren County — will open their sugar houses to show how this age-old art is practiced with the help of technological advancements. Each weekend offers open barns at our maple farms, all offering free tours of sugar bushes and sugar houses, with demonstrations and talks about tapping, evaporating, filtering and candy-making. Each has its own specialty: at Toad Hill, wagon rides to the sugar bush through a traditional covered bridge, and some non-traditional fun with a trebuchet; at the largest sugar bush in the area, Hidden Hollow, check out their special dark syrup; Adirondack Gold features “Tapper,” who invites young and old alike to visit traditionally tapped trees near the sugar house and listen for the first drop of sap in the bucket; our newest participating maple farm, Mud St. Maple, will entice you with their signature bourbon maple syrup; and Valley Road Maple Farm will feed you a pancake breakfast or lunch. Expect wonderful samples and great shopping for an expanded inventory of maple treats. Also hosting will be neighboring farms. At Martin’s Lumber, visit their shops and neighbor artisans with woodburning, quilting, homemade soaps, pottery, nature designs and paper art. Nearby Nettle Meadow farm offers tours to meet the dairy herd and sanctuary animals (weather permitting), along with sampling and shopping for unique cheeses. Whitefield’s Farm will offer farm products, with an emphasis on their all-natural turkeys, and Blackberry Hill Farm sells organic poultry and non-GMO pork. Activities at all sites run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Valley Road Maple Farm opens an hour early each day, serving pancakes from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with the shop open until 4 p.m. Read more and download the brochure and map from www.visitthurman.com.

Former Russian PM-turned opposition leader Mikhail Kasyanov had eggs hurled at him as he arrived in the central Russian city of Vladimir for a press conference. Just days ago, Kasyanov was pelted with cream cakes while in a Moscow restaurant.
The attackers first tried to use piles of snow to block the doors of the conference center where Kasyanov planned to hold his speech, and when the leader of the PARNAS party arrived on site they started throwing eggs and shouting slogans calling for him to leave Russia.
Kasyanov was not hurt and most likely was not even hit – his bodyguards stood in the way of the missiles hurled by critics. Several eggs hit the politician’s car, though. PARNAS called the attack “a minor incident” and assured reporters that their co-chairman was safe.
According to Russian news agencies, the Vladimir attack was launched by activists of the so-called National Liberation Movement (NOD) – a nationalist-conservative group with ties to lower house MP Yevgeniy Fyodorov of the centrist party United Russia, which currently holds the majority of seats in the State Duma.
Fyodorov is known for many radical statements and proposals. These include a bid to criminalize any foreign sponsorship for Russian politicians, the motion that would automatically introduce sanctions against countries that conduct anti-Russian policies, a ban for Russian citizens to join military forces in certain nations, and a promise to force the nationalization of Google. He also actively promoted a broad ban on US dollars in Russia, claiming that the excessive dependence on the currency hurts the Russian economy.
The Vladimir egging took place just two days after a group of people threw cream cakes at Kasyanov in a Moscow restaurant. The attack was taken by the PARNAS leader much more seriously – he went to the nearest police station and filed an official complaint for assault. The police started an administrative case that is now being investigated.
However, another PARNAS leader, Ilya Yashin, claimed the people who threw pies at Kasyanov were Chechens. He then drew a connection between the attack and the statements made by the leader of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, who has repeatedly accused the non-system opposition and minor parties such as PARNAS of betraying Russian interests and serving foreign special services.
A short time ago Kadyrov posted an Instagram video in which Kasyanov was shown in a rifle scope’s crosshairs. The move caused an outcry among opposition figures and Instagram administrators quickly removed the clip, alleging it had insulted other members of the community.
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp. (OTCPK: QMCO) today announced the VS-Series, an efficient, flexible storage platform designed for surveillance and industrial IoT applications. The VS-Series is available in a broad range of server choices, suitable for deployments with fewer than ten cameras, up to the largest environments with thousands of cameras. Using the VS-Series security professionals can efficiently record and store surveillance footage and run an entire security infrastructure on a single platform.
With Quantum’s VS-Series security professionals can operate their security infrastructure on a single platform.
Surveillance and security operations continue to get more complex, with more cameras, higher-resolution imagery, and increasing data retention requirements. As buildings become smarter, everything from access control systems to lighting and HVAC systems are now connected – part of the "Internet of Things." There is an opportunity to simplify operations by consolidating and converging many applications onto a single platform.
Quantum's VS-Series architecture is based on the Quantum Cloud Storage Platform (CSP), a new software-defined storage platform specifically designed for storing machine and sensor-generated data. Like storage technologies used in the cloud, the Quantum CSP is software-defined, can be deployed on bare metal, as a virtual machine, or as part of a hyperconverged infrastructure. Unlike other software-defined storage technologies, the Quantum CSP was designed specifically for video and other forms of high-resolution content – engineered for extremely low latency, maximizing the streaming performance of large files to storage.
The Quantum Cloud Storage Platform enables high-speed video recording with optimal camera density and can host and run certified VMS management applications, recording servers, and other building control servers on a single platform.
The VS-Series product line is being offered in a variety of deployment options; including software-only, mini-tower, 1U, 2U, and 4U hyperconverged servers.
Efficiency: Quantum's VS-Series supports high camera density and software architecture that enables users to run their entire security infrastructure on a single hyperconverged platform.
Flexibility: The VS-Series is a software-defined platform which offers the broadest range of deployment options. Many appliances can scale out for more cameras or scale up for increased retention.
Quantum will highlight the new VS-Series at ISC West, booth #22137. The first products in the VS-Series to launch are the VST10x mini-tower appliances, and the VS2112 and VS2124 2U servers, available this quarter. Additional offerings will be available later this year.
"Security systems today include more high-resolution cameras to capture relevant situational information. Our partnership with Quantum lets us deliver scalable video surveillance solutions with the storage capacity and access suited to the increased data volumes these systems generate."
"Buildings and cities have internet connected devices everywhere – cameras, badge readers, lighting, HVAC systems, and more – which creates a need to consolidate and manage this digital data in one place. Being able to converge surveillance recording, VMS systems, and other building control applications onto a single platform means our customers can simplify their infrastructure as we help them create smarter and safer buildings and cities."
"As we worked with partners to design a platform for surveillance, we knew that streaming performance and camera density would be critical, as well as hyperconvergence both for efficiency and to consolidate the security infrastructure. I'm pleased that we were able to bring this VS-Series to market so quickly – it demonstrates both the software-defined nature of the Quantum Cloud Storage Platform and how we can take our years of expertise working in movie and TV production and construct a platform with leading performance for the surveillance industry."

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AFNS) -- If you told Lt. Col. Rob Marshall leadership starts at the top, he’d take you literally.
Part mountaineer, part special operations pilot, he’s spent a lot of time living his life at high altitudes.
Marshall is by no means the casual adventurer, he’s a world-class mountaineer, having led climbs of the highest peak on each continent, including Mount Everest, and ferried special operators in and out of war zones as a CV-22 Osprey pilot.
These days, the 2001 Academy graduate is on the forefront of adventure-based experiential learning at the Air Force Academy. He’s in the early stages of developing a summer program that encourages cadets to learn and overcome challenges, risk and failure that can’t be replicated in a classroom via outdoor experiences.
Controlled environments can limit learning and it’s easy to develop tunnel vision as an Academy cadet, Marshall said.
Marshall vibrates with innovation and ideas. He’s a mixture of a mad scientist and athlete, and the walls of his office are covered with floor to ceiling whiteboards dotted with his adventure-based notes.
He’s an educational pioneer who admits to sometimes needing to taper his vision into something achievable, but recognizes the need to push cadets to break through their personal limits.
Although in the nascent stage, Marshall plans to add 10 days onto the Academy’s Expeditionary Survival Training. The program would include a 12-hour hike, a 24-hour hike and a 36-hour adventure race in the wilderness west of the Academy. It’s slated to be implemented this summer and involve the Cadet Wing’s 1,200 sophomore-year cadets with support from approximately 250 junior and senior cadets.
The CCLD department head, Col. Mark Anarumo, said faculty have been completely evolving the way they deliver character education to cadets.
CCLD officials, including Marshall, plan to develop an adventure-based experiential learning foundation at the Academy and start collecting data to empower the Air Force to implement this style of learning across the enterprise.
“We will push them to their personal limits through these programs and test them in ways they would otherwise never experience short of leading in a combat environment,” Anarumo said. “This generation clearly learns differently than any past cohort of young adults.
Melding his background as a special operations pilot and mountaineer, Marshall wants to incorporate lessons at the Academy that deal with uncertainty and quick flexibility.
Having witnessed the innovations made by enemy combatants during his time in the special operations community, Marshall stressed the need for Air Force leaders to think outside the box and step out from their comfort zones.
Well, this was inevitable. For every popular movie, there will be a terrible Hollywood parody film. This is the law. And now there is The Starving Games, which is a basically The Hunger Games only less funny and full of dated references.
Seriously, are any of these spoof movies ever funny? I seem to remember liking the first Scary Movie? But I challenge you to name one other even s;ightly funny spoof film.
Side note: Did you know that Not Another Teen Movie starred Chris Evans in a whipped cream bikini?
RITTMAN -- Hazel McDonald was born Aug. 26, 1925, to Gomer and Hallie Moore in Martin, Ky. She died Friday.
She was one of 14 children. She left home at the age of 17 and moved to Massachusetts to work in an airplane factory during World War II as a Rosie the Riveter.
After the war, she moved to Rittman, where she met the love of her life. She married Watt McDonald on Aug. 19, 1946, and they were married for 61 years.
Hazel was known for her amazing pies, vegetable pizza and Texas sheet cakes. She loved to bowl and play cards.
Watt and Hazel were blessed with a set of twins, Theresa Starr and Watt David Jr. Sadly, both of them preceded their parents in death. Watt passed in 2007.
Hazel is survived by her granddaughter that she raised after the death of Starr -- Stacy (Alan) Flaisman and beloved Maw-Maw to Justin and Alyssa Flaisman. She is also survived by grandchildren Bonita (Larry) Covey and Kyle (Kim) McDonald; great-grandchildren Darian and Austin Covey and David and Landon McDonald.

Alex Isley is the daughter of Ernie Isley, longtime member of soul legends The Isley Brothers. In the '70s and '80s, the group had hits like "Footsteps in the Dark," "For the Love of You," and "Between the Sheets."
For Isley growing up in Los Angeles in the '90s, however, those revered voices were simply the sounds she heard daily. Watching The Isley Brothers perform publicly and in rehearsal subconsciously affected her style. "I was like a sponge when I was little," she says. "I feel like I inherited a lot of the same musical mannerisms... I write similarly sometimes to my dad."
Still, there's no group dynamic when it comes to her music. Isley is a one-woman army, with her MacBook and midi keyboard as her weapons. Her debut project, an EP released earlier this year called The Love/Art Memoirs, was completely written, performed, and produced by her in her bedroom.
She graduated from UCLA in 2009, after studying in the jazz department and performing on the same stages that Maroon 5 and Sara Bareilles once graced. Learning to producer her own album so soon after graduation wasn't easy. "It was really hard initially for me. I was like 'I don't know how to do this!' I came to my mom crying one day because it was so hard and I didn't know what I was doing." But her desire to self-produce won out, and she created a project that could have been crafted by any of neo-soul's top producers.
The Love/Art Memoirs is a sweet mix of hip hop-tinged beats (think J. Dilla), neo-soul, and classic R&B. "Don't/Do" is laced with spacey synths and reverb that conjure Little Dragon. The harmonies floating through "Into Orbit" are reminiscent of Brandy's signature layered vocal arrangements.
Isley's senses enhance her craft -- she has perfect pitch, and can instantly identify any musical note. She also has synesthesia, a neurological phenomenon that causes the engagement of one sense to trigger another sense. In her case, she sees colors when she hears sound.
"There's a canvas in my mind, and the whole thing is painted, or it's a continuous wave of color. Each key or chord is always the same color," she says. "Sometimes I'll start composing something and I'll have to change the key because the color won't sit right with me... like, I'll want this to be blue or red. Or sometimes I'll be exploring different illustrations, and I'll say wow, I want to build a song off of that and match these colors."
Isley seeks to make a mark on music that is her own, and feels no pressure to eclipse the Isley Brothers' legacy. "I don't think it ever could [bother me] because I know that's where I come from... The idea is to expand on what I've been given and what I've absorbed, and add something new to the music, and have it evolve from there. "
Expand she has. Her single "Set in Stone" is featured in the indie film The Last Fall, which stars Lance Gross and opened in Baldwin Hills on October 26th. She is also performing at Room 5 tonight.

For once, Kanye West was speechless on Jimmy Kimmel Live! when the late-night host asked about his support for Donald Trump and asked him point blank: “Whether we like his personality or not, his actions are what matter. You so famously, and so powerfully said, ‘George Bush doesn’t care about black people.’ What makes you think that Donald Trump does — or any people at all?” West was awkwardly quiet and Kimmel cut to commercial break. Now that he had the time to think of an answer, West, like his friend Trump, took to Twitter to address his non-response on Kimmel earlier this week.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Rehrig Pacific Company, a leading manufacturer of reusable transport packaging systems for beer, wine, spirits, grocery, retail, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, agriculture, and recycling and waste industries launched Rehrig Pacific's new PUBKEG Program, a per-trip 1/6th barrel rental solution for breweries and wineries. The new PUBKEG Program allows breweries and wineries to ship full kegs while Rehrig handles their tracking, return and recycling.
The PUBKEG Program is a flexible solution that can help increase sales, expand geographic reach, reduce costs and free up capital allowing companies to serve more customers with an attractive, predictable COGS. Rehrig's PUBKEG Program provides a new and pristine package to deliver products into the market with confidence. The retailer or wholesaler recycles the interior bottle – and Rehrig does the rest.
"With low deposit fees, low lost equipment charges and no exclusivity, the PUBKEG Program compliments and quickly expands brewer's existing cooperage floats, saves precious capital and lowers fees throughout the supply chain. PUBKEGS truly are the best 1/6th barrel packaging solution." said Leslie LeMair, Industry Manager - beer, wine and spirits, Rehrig Pacific Company. "Rely on Rehrig to reduce worries about keg management so you can focus on production and opening new markets coast to coast for your beer or wine."
Rehrig Pacific developed the first RFID-enabled reusable, PET 1/6th barrel solution. The easy-to-handle PUBKEG is a simple and turn-key packaging option compatible with existing filling equipment. PUBKEGs are designed using a standard U.S. Sankey style valve for seamless integration with existing systems. PUBKEG components are fully recyclable, and full kegs are an OSHA friendly 49 pounds for safer manual handling. Lighter weight kegs mean brewers can ship more beer per truckload. Brewers and wineries can expand sales channels and quickly enter new or seasonal markets because PUBKEGs are available and ready-to-ship just in time.
