REAL MEN CAN DANCE, BUT NOT IN THAT COSTUME: LATTER-DAY SAINTS‟ PERCEPTION OF GENDER ROLES PORTRAYED ON “DANCING WITH THE STARS” By Karson B.

When Taylor has an audition abroad, Laura temporarily steps in and finds herself back in Ricardo’s arms. Feelings begin to resurface in the hope of rekindling their romance when Taylor returns with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Ricardo to go on tour with her.

  • The Chapel Bell Presented by the Maple Street Chapel Preservation Society, Inc
    The Chapel Bell Presented by the Maple Street Chapel Preservation Society, Inc. Volume 15, Issue No. 3 Summer, 2014 A New Major Chapel Initiative By Ken Bohl, Facilities Director Consider this interesting discussion I had. I was talking to a historical restoration engineer, someone who managed major projects. The subject was a stunningly beautiful church in New Jersey. The church was originally built without a steeple, and a steeple was added later. The building began to fail structurally under the added weight, the steeple sinking down, and the walls spreading. Imagine what a major costly project it was to lift up the steeple, add additional support, and draw the walls back in. It cost hundreds of thousand of dollars and took six months. But it was successful. Then a couple months later they replaced the gutters, and decided to install historic copper gutters, which are soldered together on-site. Can you guess what’s next? By the time the fire department arrived, the church was completely engulfed in flames, and was a total loss. Did that catch you by surprise? Well, that’s exactly the way it happens in real life. The last thing you expected, just when all seemed well. What if the next time you drove through downtown Lombard our beloved Chapel was gone? Can you even imagine not seeing it on that corner where it has stood for 144 years? What if it no longer stood as the beckoning landmark that holds our precious community history and personal memories? The thought of this scenario makes me heartsick.
