As we celebrate our new feeling of relief let's NEVER forget neither how we got here or where we were before these recent elections.

“We are Americans. Just a reminder the shock of gas prices is also an alert. It took millions of years for our earth to create the magic of oil. It is not a renewable resource. When we do finally run out of earths resources what is next. Let's find another planet? Many of us can't afford the price of an electric car…”

Her first teacher was Mateusz Wolski, who had recently become the Spokane Symphony's concertmaster. This past Saturday night, he beamed from the front of the violin section while she played the Sibelius Violin Concerto. Full circle, with a bow.
