It s very de-stressing. You just center on what you re creating, she said.She now creates large structures made of thousands of Lego bricks, like a replica of Northeast Middle School in Reading. I think I took the entire region s tan, she said.The model will eventually be on display at the real-life school.Hoffman s studio at GoggleWorks Center for the Arts is filled with Lego bricks and smaller specialty pieces.It took Hoffman two months to create a model of the landmark Reading Pagoda.

Question of the Day
By - Associated Press - Sunday, May 2, 2021
WATERVILLE, Maine (AP) - Six female coaches at Colby College have filed a complaint with the Maine Human Rights Commission alleging they are paid significantly less than their male counterparts.
The complaint, filed in March, says the coaches were told male coaches had “higher market value” and that the Waterville school’s men’s athletic teams receive more resources than women’s teams.
Colby College and the coaches issued a one-paragraph joint statement Friday saying they are “working together productively and collaboratively” through the Human Rights Commission and they are abiding by confidentiality rules.

But the coaches’ attorney, Kelly Hoffman, said state and federal laws were enacted to end gender discrimination in all educational programs, including coaching and athletics.
“Indeed, these laws have given women the chance to excel and to take their rightful place as leaders and achievers on campuses across the USA,” she said in an emailed statement. “The Charges of Discrimination speak for themselves and these coaches’ compensation should (be) based upon their skills and abilities, not their sex.”
The Morning Sentinel identified the coaches as Terren Allen, softball; Tracey Cote, Nordic skiing; Karen Henning, women’s lacrosse; Kristin Shaw, women’s soccer; Kelly Terwilliger, field hockey; and Holley Tyng, women’s ice hockey.
