So far the most satisfying example of this American standard I’ve eaten is the Longtable burger at Longtable Beer Cafe, 7545 Hubbard Ave This burger feels sumptuous but still straightforward It starts with a nicely shaped and smartly cooked patty of grass-fed beef from Highland Spring Farm in the town of Dunn The default condiment is housemade “LBC white sauce,” a tangy mayo-based dressing But this burger gets its flavor from the beef itself and its sear you can add avocado or bacon; it’s also possible to sub an Impossible Burger patty and because this is Comfort/Denial Eating 101 I opted for the salty skin-on frites (a $3 upcharge) with a housemade chipotle aioli dipping sauce (from among other options) gather ye cheeseburgers and fries while ye may please send an email with the following information to calendar@isthmus.com Here's the information we need to include your event in our calendar: * event date; RSVP/ticket deadline if there is one email or website we can publish (REQUIRED) Optional info:* bios/press releases for posting with the online listing This document may not be reprinted without the express written permission of Northwest Arkansas Newspapers LLC Material from the Associated Press is Copyright © 2025 audio and/or video material shall not be published rewritten for broadcast or publication or redistributed directly or indirectly in any medium Neither these AP materials nor any portion thereof may be stored in a computer except for personal and noncommercial use The AP will not be held liable for any delays errors or omissions therefrom or in the transmission or delivery of all or any part thereof or for any damages arising from any of the foregoing Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that you consider turning off your ad blocker so we can deliver you the best experience possible while you are here A section of Summit Road in Norton was closed Thursday after a 24-inch water main break in the early morning hours which closed Summit Road between Clark Mill and McCoy roads Some businesses and residents in the area had no or low water pressure from the break Loughry said the state EPA considered a boil alert for an area near the break a water line break is due to old lines and temperatures that drop and go up," Loughry said said Thursday his business was nearly flooded by water released from the broken water main Falkenstein said his company's maintenance employees were alerted to the break about 2 a.m "They came in to find a lot of standing water in our front parking lot," Falkenstein said Barberton provides sewer and water services to Norton Barberton Mayor William Judge said city workers responded quickly to start repairs and were still working on the problem late Thursday morning "Our guys went in and started work right away," he said "I know that our managers have been on scene with the employees addressing the issue." Some businesses and residents were experiencing low water pressure water pressure is down in the north side of Barberton," Judge said but if something changed residents would be notified with a notice placed on their door "At this point it isn't (likely)," he said Judge said he was hoping the closed section of Summit Road would be reopened Friday and he expected water pressure to be restored soon everything should be back up to normal in a few hours," he said He said the city will send a Nixle alert to residents when the repairs are made Falkenstein said Albert Screenprint still had only a trickle of water pressure at 11 a.m. but was thankful water from the broken main didn't flood his building "We didn't have to show up to work in our waders for a (post) Christmas flood."

California aerospace instantly became a thing The industry ebbed and flowed over the next half-century When a “space race” between the United States and the Soviet Union erupted in 1957 the Cold War amplified the region’s flourishing commercial behemoth chromatically luxurious cast-resin forms that bend light to visually bond together like a space-age version of Constantin Brancusi’s “The Kiss.” None of these works steps forward to suggest a forgotten major artist But a group show like this one benefits from a breadth that exceeds just superlative quality The range demonstrates how widespread one powerful element of the zeitgeist was while also underscoring by comparison how significant the accomplishment of vital artists like Irwin and Bell has been Insight into art we thought we knew is enlarged One example: Irwin’s eye-bending “dot painting,” the exhibition’s preeminent work Icelandic Danish artist Olafur Eliasson’s eye-grabbing creations prove exhilarating at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA the artist shows how the smoke and mirrors work It’s one from a group shown in South America at the 1965 São Paulo Bienal which coincided with the start of a reactionary military dictatorship in Brazil Two Irwin dot paintings were physically attacked and destroyed when merely confronted with a slightly bowed square canvas featuring thousands of tiny green and red dots the dots coalesce into a halation of amorphous color dissolving from a static plane into an optical cloud Artistic emphasis dramatically shifts away from an object’s traditional role of delivering specific meaning and toward a viewer’s individualized discernment That radical change in perceptual empowerment speaks volumes about conflicting forces in the era’s cultural ethos Irwin’s sense of unconstrained freedom may help clarify just what enraged those destructive observers but a Wheeler installation would certainly gobble up more space than the Palm Springs museum could provide; drawings might compensate.) Other surprises are enticing employs light-reflective silver and golden-brown metallic paints applied in vast fields of paisley-like commas that dematerialize into a spatially ambiguous surface shimmer The ancient Persian paisley motif has long been a symbol for strength and fertility and a brushed Zen circle filling one panel represents inner peace while doubling as a planetary emblem Tracking lines arc through the expansive field recalling cosmic rays shooting across a cloud chamber Falkenstein’s mural amply demonstrates the painterly skills of an artist better known as a sculptor (a fine wall relief and four less interesting sculptures are also on view) PSAM curator Sharrissa Iqbal and guest curator Michael Duncan adept organizers of the show and its document-filled catalog have also included one of Man Ray’s wonderfully eccentric “Shakespeare Equations.” That group of paintings was made during his time in Hollywood but they derive from photographs of complex mathematical models by physicist Henri Poincaré that the artist shot in Paris Rivulets of paint dribbling from the edges of a trumpeting otherwise indescribable robotic form are said to represent the tears of grief-stricken King Lear wildly attempting to humanize the cold if nearly inexplicable scientific reality of Man Ray’s source The painting hangs in a gallery examining artists’ use of math — one of the show’s five informative segments What makes it all work is that the scientific commentary is tangential The show is focused on how artists make art rather than pretending that art and science are on parallel tracks it provides worthwhile historical background for “Olafur Eliasson: OPEN,” that great eye-opening site-specific installation made for the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA Where: Palm Springs Art Museum, 101 N.

Bush is ranked No finished off a shot with 10 seconds left in the third period “Coach told me my match was really important but coach (Tim Longacre) wasn’t really happy with the outcome tonight,” Geleta said “He wanted us to beat (Del Val) by a lot more; it was way too close.” “We should have been able to wrestle better,” Longacre said “That was not our best performance of the year at all I don’t think we were sharp; who knows why Tonight we didn’t execute the way we normally have.” and because of Del Val’s tenacity – “we COMPETED,” said Terrier head coach Andy Fitz with strong emphasis on the second word – the issue was still in doubt when the 285-pounders wrestled the evening’s penultimate bout with P’burg (9-0) ahead 30-23 defeated Del Val (9-2) junior Luken Alberdi for the second time in a week with some very smart wrestling Ellis needed sudden victory to top Alberdi at H/W/S in a quarterfinal but this time won 5-3 in regulation recognizing that Alberdi was going for big-move home runs adjusted to stay away from them and indeed countered one such shot into a second-period takedown It might have been different had the Terrier just settled for takedowns instead of trying to throw With Alberdi desperately trying to score from top in the third this time for a reversal and the decisive points “I didn’t feel like going to overtime; I knew I had to get something done in the first or second period,” Ellis said “(Coming in second at H/W/S) was a big confidence booster and I am trying to step up my game a lot more I have a big shoes to fill,” referring to graduated 285-pounder John Wargo Ellis may not be the force of nature Wargo was “I knew I had to step up to the plate (this year),” Ellis said not reaching my goals completely but hoping to get there soon This was another confidence-booster for me.” Phillipsburg needed such performances up and down the lineup because Del Val didn’t go way Terrier senior Jaden Perez fired up the stands with a 15-second pin at 126 but P’burg had an answer when senior Gavin Hawk stuck his Terrier in 14 seconds at 157 in the battle of dueling state medalist pins But the Stateliners ran out of answers at 132 where Massimo Gonzalez whose takedown at the third-period buzzer – a takedown kept legal under the new out-of-bounds rule by Falkenstein arcing his trailing foot in bounds – gave the Terrier a 12-9 win in a thrilling donnybrook that had the crowd as fired up as a roman candle on the Fourth of July It was all the sweeter because it was Falkenstein who was reversed and decked in the closing seconds of a 34-33 loss to North Hunterdon last week it’s an unreal feeling being out on the mat,” Falkenstein said you really can’t feel anything or even hear anything (remarkable given how loud the gym was for his bout) the adrenalin is pumping so hard you can barely hear you coaches but once you realize it’s over and you came out on top Falkenstein showed little hangover from the North Hunterdon debacle “Right after it happened I went back in our wrestling room and I knew in my head if I keep myself down on this “I had to get past that get better every day and keep pushing it.” Both teams are facing rough stretches of challenging duals ahead Bridgewater in the Pit on Wednesday and archrival Easton on Saturday Del Val has a road swing through Caldwell Saturday “We need to stay healthy and keep our weight balanced “We can’t have explosions and have highs and lows and long workouts Tuesday night; we have to be able to manage our weight so we’re eating good without going crazy Falkenstein said Del Val can take a lot from the Phillipsburg defeat going forward every wrestler went out and wrestled their hearts out “Obviously there were some kids pinned but there were good wrestlers on the other team we told them ‘Don’t keep your head down’ and everyone else It was close at points; we were hoping for the win.” Our journalism needs your support.

other but through the union we have built a powerful community of support and are working on ways to communicate better among ourselves and we can do anything when we stay united I would encourage everyone who is a care provider to get active in our union You can start right now by attending the rally on May 20 where we can send a message to the people in power that it’s time to fund long-term care for people like my daughter  Caregivers deserve the dignity and respect that is afforded other industries especially now that the boomer population is ‘booming.” Please enable JS and disable any
