The competition includes a $1,500 prize for the best theatrical production presented at the 2019 Fringe Festival. “We’re excited to add this prize to our program,” explained Kimmi. “When Theater League president Mark Edelman shared with me his organization’s desire to see more plays – actual staged productions featuring two or more actors in a theatrical setting, not staged readings – I thought this would be a great new feature for us. Hopefully, it’s something we can do every year.” The juried contest will cover this year’s qualifying Fringe productions, with the prize awarded at the conclusion of the Festival. “We thought we’d recognize Mark, who’s been a supporter of the Fringe for many years,” continued Kimmi. “So we’re calling it the “Edelman Playwrighting Prize” in his honor. 5 FRINGE STAFF THE KANSAS CITY FRINGE FESTIVAL PO Box 415001, Kansas City, MO 64141-5001 [email protected], 816-359-9195 OPERATIONS STAFF SPECIAL THANKS Cheryl Kimmi – Founder and Executive Producer Union Station–George Guastello, Jerry Baber, Nale Uhl, Charlie Jaime Aguirre – Grants Writer Frank and Wes; The Creativity Connection: Ron Zoglin and Lynne Anderson – Late Nite & Happy Hour Coordinator Deborah Shouse; Henderson Engineering; Johnson County Diana Arganbright – Director of Operations Public Library; Kansas City Public Library; KKFI 90.1 FM Com- Stephanie Bonnett – Special Projects Associate munity Radio; Mark Edelman and Theatre League; Mike Burke Dalene Bradford – Strategic Planning of Burke Payne, LLC; The Missouri Arts Council; Muriel McBrien Peggy Brockschmidt – Bookkeeper Kauffman Foundation; The Neighborhood Tourist Development Bryan Colley – Printed Program, Technology Chief Fund; Schlafly Beer; Service Printing and Graphics; Lance Loe- Anna DeSando – Branding Developer, Creative Guru wenstein Attorney at Law PC; Mia Porterfield & Doug Higson Barbara Dooley – Director of Special Projects with VMA; Adair Exchange Bank Foundation Ashley Dover – Technical Co-Director Skip Gordon – Technical Co-Director BOARD OF DIRECTORS Nico Gray – Marketing Director Diana Arganbright Sheri Hall – Youth Fringe Coordinator Mark Conarroe Brent Kimmi – Operations Advisor Katherine Holland Fox Phil Kimmi – Historian Trudy Homan Erik LaLonde – Graphic Design Robert McIntyre Trenna Reed – Program Manager Sara Slaughter – Visual Arts Coordinator Sandy Woodson – Library Liaison and Teen Fringe Coordinator Visual Arts Team – Katheryn Krouse, Lisa Coyan, Spenser Albertsen, Susana Bruhn Volunteer Team – Doug Adair, Stephanie Davis, April Hendrickson, Richie Johnson, Joshua Judy, Jen Kiper, Coyote Schaaf, Jesse Schaaf, Ken Stewart, Trisha Van Wig, Meghan Young Interns – Ashley Helm, Natalie Leslie, Brendan Stevens, Grace Wampler 7 SPONSORS & DONORS SPONSORS & DONORS FRIENDS OF FRINGE $25,000+PRESENTING SPONSOR $500+ FRINGE FANATIC Mark Edelman–Theatre League Samuel Bennett Dalene Bradford $10,000+ LEAD SPONSOR Trudie Homan Missouri Arts Council Muriel McBrien Kauffman Foundation $250+ FRINGE FAVORITES Neighborhood Tourist & Development Fund Barbara Dooley Phil Hampton $5,000+ DONOR Lighton Fund The Arts KC Fund Phil Meiers $3,000+ DONOR Clarence Simmons Henderson Engineering– Visual Arts $100+ FRINGE FAITHFUL Sponsor Peggy Brockschmidt $2,000+ DONOR Erik Hoar Adair Exchange Bank Foundation $50+ FRINGE FOLLOWER Mark and Doni Conarroe Matthew Hughes Lance and Heather Loewenstein Jen Kiper $1,000+ DONOR Molly Sefton Doug Adair and Joshua Judy Kathryn Webster Dunn Family Foundation Richie Johnson The Kansas City Fringe Festival is primarily a volunteer organization including seasonal festival staff, board, and festival volunteers.

  • Lovecraft's Terrestrial Terrors: Morally Alien Earthlings
    7 ARTIGO http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/abusoes.2017.27816 01 LOVECRAFT’S TERRESTRIAL TERRORS: MORALLY ALIEN EARTHLINGS Greg Conley (EKU) Recebido em 05 mar 2017. Greg Conley is Adjunct Instructor of Humanities, Aprovado em 30 mar 2017 Ph.D. in Literary and Cultural Studies, MFA in Creative Writing, of the Department of Languages, Cultures, and Humanities. Expert Areas: Victorian Literature; Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror. Email: gregory. [email protected]. Abstract: Lovecraft’s cosmic horror led him to create aliens that did not exist on the same moral spectrum as humanity. That is one of many ways Lovecraft’s work insists humans do not matter in the cosmos. However, most of the work on Lovecraft has focused on the space aliens, and how they are necessarily alien to humans, because they are from other worlds. Lovecraft’s terrestrial aliens, such as the Deep Ones, the Old Ones, and the Shoggoths, are less alien, but just as morally strange. Lovecraft used biological horror to create his terrestrial aliens, and in turn used them to claim that morality was a product of human evolution and history. A life form with a separate evolutionarily history would necessarily have a separate and incomprehensible morality. Lovecraft illustrates that point with narrators who are ultimately sympathetic with the aliens, despite the threat they pose to the narrators and to everything they have ever known. Keywords: Fiction; Cosmic horror; Biologic horror. REVISTA ABUSÕES | n. 04 v. 04 ano 03 8 ARTIGO http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/abusoes.2017.27816 Resumo: O horror cósmico de Lovecraft o conduziu a criar alienígenas que não existem no mesmo escopo moral da humanidade.

Peter the Great and His Changing Identity Senior History Honors Thesis May 11, 2016 Emiley Pagrabs Pagrabs 1 Introduction Well aware of the perception that foreigners held of him, Peter the Great would never apologize for his nationality or his country. A product of his upbringing, Peter did have some qualities that many foreigners criticized as barbaric and harsh. Said Peter: They say that I am cruel; that is what foreigners think of me, but who are they to judge? They do not know what the situation was at the beginning of my reign, and how many were opposed to my plans, and brought about the failure of projects which would have been of great benefit to my country obliging me to arm myself with great severity; but I have never been cruel…I have always asked for the cooperation of those of my subjects in whom I have perceived intelligence and patriotism, and who, agreeing with my views, were ready to support them.1 Essentially, Peter I was simply a Russian.

Additionally, the office maintains the historical employment data for all certified and support school employees.

Additionally, noncertified teachers are monitored and this information is reported to the appropriate persons so corrective actions can be taken. The SPR office reviews complaints of salary reduction without proportionate reduction in duties per 70 O.S. § 18-114.9 and OAC 210:25-3-4(i), and makes recommendations to the State Board of Education for corrective actions.

  • Using a Company Hourly Fringe Program As a Recruiting and Retention Tool by Philip Ely, Advantage Resource Inc
    Using a Company Hourly Fringe Program as a Recruiting and Retention Tool By Philip Ely, Advantage Resource Inc. For a few years now, companies have been finding it increasingly difficult to hire and retain quality employees. This problem affects all companies, regardless of industry or trade. Some commercial companies would use the possibility of working a prevailing wage project as a dangling carrot to attract employees to come work for them. In January 2017, however, the state of Kentucky voted to repeal its state prevailing wage law, catching many business owners by surprise. In its wake, companies throughout the region that have historically worked a high percentage of prevailing wage are trying to determine how the repeal affects their business. While company owners are indeed concerned about how business will change, employees are even more concerned about how the repeal will impact them. For most hourly employees, a decrease in prevailing wage opportunities will mean a reduction in gross wages, take home pay, and a general fear that benefits package offerings (health insurance, retirement plan, paid time off, etc.) will be cut. Employees with health insurance on themselves and their families are particularly anxious. Some employees base their standard of living on working prevailing wage projects. These worries will give rise to union discussion, and longtime employees looking for more stable options. For some companies, the law repeal and subsequent business environment change is seen as a threat. Companies used the required fringe component of the prevailing wage to help pay for employee benefits, to include health insurance, holiday and vacation pay, and retirement plan contributions.

  • Highlights of Available Works
    Highlights of Available Works TJ Ahearn Good Times Bad Times (Rolling Stones), 2018 Hand cut collage on vintage LP jacket with original vinyl 21 x 21 inches Framed Courtesy of the artist and lemon sky: projects + editions TJ Ahearn’s collages are created through a meticulous application of hand-cut imagery from both vintage and contemporary periodicals, books and other printed matter, which is glued onto the back of LP jackets. Most of the albums used date back to the 60s and 70s, and the original vinyl is included with the collaged piece. Ahearn creates imaginary environments through the inventive layering and juxtaposition of both banal and pop culture visual elements. The collages on view are from the artist's ongoing JUKEBOX series. TJ Ahearn lives and works between NYC and Miami. Ahearn attended School of Visual Arts in New York as well as both the University of Miami BFA Program and Miami Dade South Campus Fine Arts Program and Psychopolis Academy in the Netherlands.

He often draws inspiration from the urban environment and systems of society which dehumanize its inhabitants.
