TIDBITS

Dog of the Month

Downtown Dog
of the Month

Meet Rocky, an 11 year old Shi-chon – that’s a Shitzu/Bichon Frise mix for you non-canineofiles. Rocky is a cancer survivor courtesy of cutting edge (pun intended) surgery at the CSU Vet school. The reborn pup has a new lease on life. He enjoys listening to the Rolling Stones, much like owners Bob and Cynthia, and walks in Memory Square Park. Rock on, Rocky.

Historic Preservation Building

This month in conjunction with the Historic Preservation Commission, we are featuring:

This house was built in 1890 by the Thomas family and remained in their family until 2005. The original owners were English and Welsh immigrants. Members of the Thomas family owned coal mines, grocery and feed stores, and the Louisville Grain Elevator.

What is Alexander Technique and who does it benefit? Alexander Technique benefits everyone! It is a practical hands-on study of the principles of coordination, habit, movement, and awareness. Through light touch and basic anatomical information, this technique helps you to access innate coordination, achieving ease, grace, comfort, strength, and flexibility. It helps with instrument playing and performing, activities of everyday life, performance anxiety, injury rehabilitation, and chronic pain. Teachers of the Alexander work help you notice how and when you are working harder than you need, to realize your habitual movement patterns, and learn to make changes on your own. Step out of your box and learn to positively improve your body in a comfortable group environment!
