The College of Southern Idaho celebrates its 50th annual commencement for its graduates at 7 p.m. Friday, May 13 in the CSI Gym. This year's keynote speaker is Tom Ashenbrener, owner of Rudy's, A Cook's Paradise.
Upon graduating from the University of Oregon in 1978, Ashenbrener returned to Twin Falls to work with his father, Rudy, at Price Hardware. In 2002, he turned the hardware store into Rudy's. He has been the president of the Twin Falls Rotary Club and CSI Foundation, the Board Chair for St. Luke's Magic Valley Regional Medical Center, has served on the Twin Falls Chamber of Commerce board and is a past recipient of the Curtis T. Eaton Small Businessperson of the Year award. He is a current member of the First Federal Savings Bank board and president of First Federal's Charitable Foundation. He says his objective at graduation will be to ignite students' desire to stay or to return to the Magic Valley as he did after completing their education because our region is bursting with possibilities.
According to CSI Registrar Dr. Michele McFarland, more than 1,000 students have applied for graduation so far, though only a fraction of that number actually walk on commencement night. Typically, about 400 graduates take part in the actual commencement exercises. The exact number in the procession will not be known until graduation night. Graduating students are able to continue signing up to walk in commencement until the day of the ceremonies.
The replacement of both the upper and lower sections of bleachers since last spring has reduced the overall number of seats somewhat. Spaces for handicapped audience members are more plentiful and accessible now. Early arrival is the only way to assure seating. Friends and family members of CSI graduates are advised that overflow seating will be available in two venues of the CSI Evergreen building, located next door to the gymnasium. The entire program will also be streamed from a link on CSI's homepage, www.csi.edu.
A reception with refreshments catered by Sodexo Food Service will be available to everyone, free of charge, in the Taylor Building Cafeteria immediately following the commencement program, which is expected to conclude between 8:30 and 9 p.m.

Romeo and Juliet
April 27-30, 2016 at 7:30 pm on the Fine Arts Center back lawn
Tickets are now available for the final performance of the CSI Theater Department's 2015-2016 Season, Romeo and Juliet. The show will run Wednesday through Saturday, April 27 - 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Globe Theater, a special outdoor stage space built especially for this performance behind the CSI Fine Arts Center.
In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare weaves the tragic tale of two young, star-crossed lovers. At the heart, it is the world's most famous story of romantic love...but it's so much more. It is also a play about a younger generation stretching to break the bonds forged by their elders. It is a search to define the boundary between unfettered romantic love and the mores demanded by society. It is a story of coming of age, of growing up, and of youth struggling to redefine the world in which they live, guided by passion and love. Whether you are experiencing the work for the first time or rediscovering its beauty and poetry, join us as the College of Southern Idaho presents this beautiful and moving piece of theater under the stars in the beauty of an Idaho spring. Audience members are welcome to bring low back chairs and blankets to sit on and food/drinks, but alcohol is prohibited on the CSI campus. Tickets are $8 each for adults and $6 each for students/seniors.
What pairs better with Shakespeare than an evening of jazz, wine, food, and conversation with friends? At 5:30 p.m. on Friday, April 29, CSI and the Magic Valley Arts Council will be offering The Romeo and Juliet Director's Circle, a special program prior to that evening's performance at CSI. Join fellow lovers of Shakespeare for a pre-show presentation and discussion with Romeo and Juliet director Shane Brown, including jazz from Brent Jensen and Michael Frew, wine, and hors d'ouevres. The discussion will include the direction of Romeo and Juliet as a dramatized sonnet, the themes emphasized in the play, and design concepts used to highlight those themes. After mingling, eating, drinking, and discussing, attend the performance of Romeo and Juliet in special reserved seating on the lawn in front of the CSI Globe Stage. Ticket price includes admission to the pre-show discussion, hors d'oeuvres and wine at the Magic Valley Center for the Arts, and reserved seating at the show. Tickets are $20.
Tickets can be purchased at the CSI Fine Arts Box Office, by calling 732-6288, or by going online to
http://tickets.csi.edu
.
For more information, call 732-6288.

TWIN FALLS - If you know where to find them, you can visit most of Idaho's significant archeological sites because they're located on the vast tracts of Idaho's publicly-accessible federal land. But some 900 square miles of southeast Idaho have been locked up against public intrusion since 1949, preserved and protected within the boundaries of the Idaho National Laboratory. Within those guarded fences lies thousands of years of evidence of human history and migrations.
At 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 11, INL Archeologist Brenda Ringe Pace will share her 30 years of prehistoric findings at the final Herrett Forum of the school year. Her talk will highlight the careful documentation and study of 13-thousand years of human land use in what is now southeast Idaho, including where the ancient inhabitants lived, how they hunted and fished, and how they moved from place to place following their sources of food.
The Herrett Forum is a monthly series of presentations generally held the third Wednesday evening of each month during the school year. Topics are coordinated by the Herrett Forum Committee, a group of community individuals dedicated to bringing high quality presentations to Twin Falls. No tickets are required for this free public lecture. Doors open at 7 p.m. The Herrett Center for Arts and Science is located on the north side of the College of Southern Idaho campus at the North College Road entrance.

Effective communication is essential in both our personal and professional lives. Focusing on improving communication skills is a good way to ensure needs and expectations are met.
We communicate to share our feelings and experiences with our loved ones. In doing so, we draw strength from one another. Statistics show that married people tend to live longer than single people. There is a great benefit to having someone close by with whom you can communicate with on a regular basis.
At work, we communicate to understand the goals and expectations of the organization, to create harmony among our coworkers and leaders, and to work toward and deliver high quality services and products. Employees who adopt effective communication habits tend to be more successful in the workplace than those who don't.
Remember that the first two letters of "communication" are "co", meaning communication is something people do together. In other words, if you're not putting your fair share of effort into listening, you can't respond or take action appropriately, and are therefore not communicating effectively.
Words and listening are not the only element of good communication. Observation is also key. Keep the following in mind during your interactions with others:
* Tone of voice
* Body language, including hand gestures and facial expression
* Eye contact
* Simply paying attention
Our EAP offers services to help employees and your family members privately resolve problems that may interfere with work, family and life; up to 4 visits per issue with each company, of which there are two to choose from.

If no one is going to wear it again, have some nice pillows made out of it. Or save it to wrap bouquets in your daughter's wedding. Or clip off a piece of fabric and display it in a frame with a photo of your wedding day.
2. Love letters
Keep them if they're yours. But if they're your parents', they're not really yours: They're part of a romance between your parents, never meant for you. Burn them ceremonially and send the love back into the universe.
3. Boxes of photos
Throw out landscape shots. Pick three with people in them from each vacation or holiday. With the rest, pull out the great shots. Send the keepers to an online scanning service to store in the cloud, or make albums.
4. China set
If you like it, use it. If you don't, sell it through eBay. Be realistic, though. Not long ago, fine china commanded a nice price. But today's consumers want fine tableware that's safe in the microwave and the dishwasher.
5. Antiques
Take high-end antiques to a local antiques dealer, who can take them to an auction house. Find out what the house's take is upfront (typically 10 to 15 percent) as well as where it will place the starting bid.
