THE ONION
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
Reception: 6:00 pm
Presentation: 7:00 pm
Location: Woodward Center
The Onion dates back to 1756, when Freidrich Siegried Zweibel, an immigrant farmer from Prussia, bartered a sack of yams for a printing press and named his fledgling news paper The Mercantile Onion.
Others contend the first issue of The Onion was printed in 1988 in Madison, Wisconsin, by two students working out of their University of Wisconsin dorm. In the paper’s early years, the humor had a local focus, with headlines that included “Pen Stolen From Dorm Study Area” and “Winged Monkeys Terrorize State Capitol.”
The Onion is a Peabody award-winning, American “fake news” organization. It features satirical articles reporting on international, national and local news. The Onion’s articles comment on current events, both real and imagined. It parodies traditional newspaper features, such as editorials, man-on-the-street interviews, and stock quotes, as well as a traditional newspaper layout and AP-style editorial voice.Read more…

Therapeutic Yoga for Beginners is for anyone just starting out with yoga or for those who have ongoing muscular pain or tension requiring special attention. It’s also appropriate for those who like a gentle to moderate class. The class is taught by instructors versed in Structural Yoga, which is a style of yoga focused on adapting yoga to an individual’s body and specific needs. The theme of the class often focuses around strengthening the back, and releasing tension in the neck and shoulders.
This is a six week class series taught by two instructors to provide more individual student attention during class. Karla Geoffroy is a co-owner of Valley Yoga and a certified structural yoga therapist specializing in back care. Roger Lagasse is a registered yoga teacher with a strong background in structural yoga therapy.
