Around Town: Green Friends Montessori School in Elburn wins big on National Battery Day
Vandana Caruso isn't quite sure how many batteries she now has in her possession after winning enough from Batteries Plus in Geneva to last a year.
The batteries are at Green Friends, a school focusing on the outdoors and nature, but one lacking in technology that needs batteries. "It was surprising to find out I won the batteries, though I didn't really understand it at first," Caruso said."Then I thought, what a nice thing for us because we want to connect with local businesses and we especially like the idea that we can get the word out about the school."
Theater expert Charles Troy delighted audience members with his knowledge of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical"Oklahoma!" along with various video clips and songs from the play, especially the stage and film versions in the late '90s starring Hugh Jackman in the key role as the cowpoke Curly McClain.
This musical changed everything on Broadway, Troy explained, because it had a storyline told through words and music, unlike so many other productions up to that point that were more like operas or comedy skits and often opened with a chorus girls dance number. Lazarus money guru Lazarus House in St. Charles is saying goodbye to a mainstay of 21 years in Steve Sager, a volunteer extraordinaire who spent much of his time meeting with the Lazarus residents to help them with financial budgets, filing taxes and contacting debtors.
