“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” is the scorching drama surrounding a Southern family in crisis, especially for Brick and his wife “Cat.” When the family gathers in the oppressive Mississippi heat to celebrate Big Daddy’s birthday, old secrets, sexual tensions, and hidden agendas swell just beneath the sweaty surface. Tennessee Williams’ searing, poetic portrait of a family’s fight for survival is a twentieth century masterpiece.
ANGOLA â Prosthetics can be a blessing for people who are missing a limb, but theyâre also very expensive.
That expense can make them impractical for children and adolescents who are constantly growing and changing. However, a senior design group of Trine University engineering majors completed a project this year that provided solutions for two teenage girls born without left hands.
With support from the Kosciusko County Community Foundationâs Helping Hands Fund, the team of Marissa Shaver, a biomedical engineering major from Fostoria, Ohio, Ben Avey, a mechanical engineering major from Pendleton, David Cervera, a biomedical engineering major from South Bend and Karina Bruce, a biomedical engineering major from Findlay, Ohio, designed low-cost prosthetics that will allow the girls to perform routine tasks such as curling their hair.
