Angels
By Unknown
Author
The sky is
filled with
Angels
With puffy lacy
wings
The remnants of
God's beauty
With treasures
they now bring
Each one of them
a Guardian
That travels in
the sky
To watch
throughout
eternity
Their parents
from on high
Smiles that come
from Angels
They fall like
crystal rain
Eases earthly
burdens
Lifting all
life's pain
Halos so
astounding
That glitter
gold each day
Following their
loved ones
In such a
perfect way
Wings in gentle
breezes
That fall from
up above
Kissing every
parent
With everlasting
love
Angels soar
through heaven
With everlasting
light
Looking down
from heaven
Saying their
"goodnights"
Kissing all who
loved them
So gently on the
face
This life's
tender mercy
Each parent can
embrace
Wings and shiny
halos
Travel from on
high
Surrounding all
their loved ones
They never say
good-bye.
Please consider
making a
donation at any
local Northwest
Savings Bank for
the family of
Ashley Clark,
the 13 year old
hit and killed
yesterday while
boarding her
school bus.
Godspeed Shannon
Roschi-Clark and
your family.
Prayers set up
for strength to
get you through
this difficult
time.
MSNBC
Contributor Jeff
Johnson and the
“Unclaimed
Legacy”
Jeff Johnson
wants to know:
Who will be his
generation’s Dr.
Martin Luther
King Jr.? Who
will lead the
next great
social movement?
The MSNBC
contributor and
White House
correspondent
for NBC’s
TheGrio.com will
explore these
questions in the
Speaker Series
at Penn State
Erie, The
Behrend College,
on Thursday,
Jan. 19. His
presentation,
titled
“Unclaimed
Legacy,” takes
place at 7:30
p.m. in the
McGarvey Commons
of the Reed
Union Building
and is free and
open to the
public.
A Cleveland
native and
former national
director of the
Youth and
College Division
of the NAACP,
Johnson is an
award-winning
journalist and
political
commentator who
has spent the
last decade
covering the
intersection of
politics and pop
culture. His
comfort in both
realms is
evident in the
fact that he was
both a vice
president of the
Russell Simmons
Hip-Hop Summit
Action Network (HSAN)
and the only
U.S. reporter to
receive an
exclusive
post-inauguration
interview with
Liberian
president Ellen
Johnson-Sirleaf,
Africa’s first
female head of
state.
In 2008, Johnson
received the
National
Association of
Black
Journalists’
Salute to
Excellence Award
for his “Life &
Death in Darfur,
Jeff Johnson
Reports” series
on BET. He
regularly
contributes
commentary and
analysis related
to race,
politics,
socio-economics
and popular
culture to
MSNBC, CNN, FOX
News, Larry King
Live, the
Huffington Post,
theRoot.com,
EbonyJet.com,
and Upscale
magazine. He
also is one of
30 influential
thirtysomethings
from Europe and
North America
selected by the
British Council
to be a part of
Transatlantic
Network 2020, an
effort to
reinvigorate
traditional
alliances
through dialogue
between future
leaders.
Johnson is the
author of
“Everything I’m
Not Made Me
Everything I Am:
Discovering Your
Personal Best,”
a book he
describes as a
challenge to the
post-Civil
Rights
generation “to
stop making
excuses,
overcome
personal
challenges, and
create lives
filled with
passion,
meaning, and
service.”
Jeff Johnson’s
Penn State
Behrend Speaker
Series
presentation is
supported by the
Student Activity
Fee, the
Division of
Student Affairs,
and the Harriet
Behrend Ninow
Memorial Lecture
Series Fund.

Disney’s Camp
Rock Will Heat
up the Erie
Playhouse Stage
It's the
ultimate
showdown for
Camp Rock and
Camp Star in the
Erie Playhouse
Youtheatre
production of
Disney’s Camp
Rock January
13-22, 2012 at
the Erie
Playhouse.
This summer was
supposed to be
all about the
music and
campers having
the time of
their lives. But
the new, flashy
Camp Star across
the lake now
threatens Camp
Rock’s very
existence. To
keep the doors
open, Mitchie
steps up,
rallies her
fellow Camp
Rockers, and
gets them into
top shape for
the ultimate
talent showdown!
This new musical
is based on the
hit Disney
Channel Original
Movie Camp Rock
starring The
Jonas Brothers.
The high-energy
Camp Rockers are
led by Alanna
Grafius as
Mitchie with
Andrew Dolan,
Brandon Miller
and Kyle Filbeck
stepping into
the roles of
Shane, Jason and
Nate Gray
originated by
the ever-popular
Jonas Brothers.
The rival Camp
Star talent is
led by Shannon
Bentley as Dana
Turner and
Dakota Holmes as
Luke Williams.
Katie Conti
takes a turn as
Tess Tyler who
defects from
Camp Rock to
Camp Star. More
than 40 talented
teens round out
the dynamite
cast.
Camp Rock is
under the
direction of
Emily Cassano
with Marann
Curtis handling
the
choreography.
Music direction
is by Andrew
Rainbow. Angela
Howell designs
the costumes and
Joe Hassler
creates the sets
and lights.
Disney’s Camp
Rock is a high
energy show
packed with
great songs,
dance and
romance all in
the great Disney
tradition. It’s
perfect family
entertainment.
