Rush is a gifted musician and performer whose shows offer a musical celebration. His distinctive guitar style, wry humor and warm, expressive voice have made him both a legend and a lure to audiences around the world. Rush’s impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the 1960s and the renaissance of the ’80s and ’90s, his music having left its stamp on generations of artists. James Taylor once told Rolling Stone, “Tom was not only one of my early heroes, but also one of my main influenc- es.” Country music star Garth Brooks has credited Rush with being one of his top five musical influences. Tom Rush photo by Michael Wiseman Signed by Elektra in 1965, Rush recorded three albums for the label, culminating in The Circle Game in 1968, which included his signature hit, No Regrets. Rush toured extensively throughout the 1970s “Papa Bear” John Carney led the ceremonial singing of the Polar Bear Anthem and released several albums. photo by Jeff Lysiak continued on page 5 see more photos on page 2 2 ISLAND SUN - JANUARY 4, 2013 From page 1 Polar Bear Plunge Hundreds of participants turned out on Tuesday afternoon for the 13th annual Polar Bear Plunge at Tarpon Bay Beach on Sanibel photos by Jeff Lysiak Zoe Raffa-Filkins, 3, of Wilmette, Illinois and Brandon LaBonte of Windsor, California Eileen and Vernon Roberts from Sanibel The polar bears turned and waved to the crowd before entering the water and Great Falls, Virginia January 11 – February 16 8 PM Jan. 23 & Feb. 6 2 PM Matinée $42 Child 17 & Under $20 Jason Loete Elizabeth Urbanczyk John Ramsey as King Arthur as Lady of the Lake as Sir Robin —The New York Times Book & Lyrics by ERIC IDLE Music by JOHN DU PREZ “… a no-holds-barred smash hit.” & ERIC IDLE From the original screenplay by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin Original Broadway Production produced by Boyett Ostar Productions, The Shubert Organization, Arielle Tepper Madover, Stephanie Show Sponsors McClelland/Lawrence Horowitz, Elan V McAllister/Allan S.

  • Introduction by Karen Wang
    Introduction by Karen Wang “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.” ― Fred Rogers If play is the work of childhood, then toys are the tools of the trade. All children learn through play, but play does not come naturally to all children. It doesn't necessarily come naturally to adults, either! But with practice, adults can learn how to help children with special needs express their thoughts, feelings, skills, past experiences and dreams for the future while playing. Sometimes the right toy can spark enough interest to start something new. Jason Ferrise explains in his article, “Toys should have meaning to each individual child. Without meaning, there is no assigned value to play with that toy.” The purpose of this essay collection is to narrow down the field of infinite toys to those which successfully target special interests and emerging skills. Here you'll find tried-and-true toys and activities recommended by experienced therapists and parents – yes, even toys for children who refuse to play with toys, or children who prefer to spend hours each day watching objects spin. At home, toys may be used to expand circles of communication - the little exchanges of glances, gestures, facial expressions and vocalizations between parent and child. The idea of “circles of communication” was first articulated by Dr. Stanley Greenspan in his book The Child with Special Needs, in which he also outlined his research on a type of play therapy called Floortime.
