However, University of Iowa officials have found faculty members, at times, ignore the need to comply with protocol. UI emergency-management coordi- nator Shawn Sharp said he has wit- nessed faculty and staff ignore a fire alarm because they think “it’s just a drill.” “When the alarm goes off, people won’t even get up from their desks,” he said. “They just keep working. That’s something I would like to raise every- one’s awareness on.” UI College of Pharmacy Assistant Dean Amber Seaton said although she believes her staff does not fit this ste- reotype, she knows they are not all as The MidWestOne Bank on South Clinton Street is undergoing a renovation project as seen on Wednesday.

  • Suzie Vinnick Does
    APRIL 2013 Volume 12 Issue 11 LISTINGS GUIDE and Beyond with Feature Articles Live!IN NEW YORK CIT Y I F APHROD I TE COULD SI NG THE BLUE S … Well… she couldn’t. A brief Internet perusal reveals that B Y Ric H A RD CU cca RO Aphrodite had no musical skills and actually was a bit of a tramp. SuzieBut if she could sing, with her seductive skills,Vinnick it might produce the same effect that Suzie Vinnick does. It was a blues number, “Save Me for Later” on her album, Me ’n Mabel, that first worked its magic for me. That muscular but silky voice, singing: Save me for later like a child saves chocolate kisses / Save me for later like some flowers for a Mrs. / Like a smoker keeps a cigarette in his pocket / sweethearts keep photos in a locket / They say cookin’ slow brings out the flavor / darlin’ save me for later. Ooooh, Lord, have mercy. Suzie has become recognized as an accomplished blues singer and guitarist, but she has many ways to seduce a listener. Her sweet assault can strike from every stylistic direction. Me ’n Mabel (2011) shows Suzie’s skills with just her and her Larrivee parlor guitar (christened Mabel as a result of a slip using the word “maple”). Her previous album, Happy Here (2008), is lushly orchestrated and shows Suzie’s ability with a torch song. The album weaves a reverie all the way through. In songs like “My Kind Of Loneliness,” Minnie Riperton-like, she pours heartache into the lyrics: It was bittersweet tonight, seeing you sparkle and glow / On a moonlit sail, across the waters of loneliness… Need I say it? It should be obvious.
