Set Sail with
The Pirates of Penzance
at Heritage Center

by Stacey Ortman, Director of Public Information, University of Dubuque

The Pirates of Penzance, 3 p.m. Sunday, March 26, in John and Alice Butler Hall, Heritage Center, University of Dubuque.
The Pirates of Penzance, performed by New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players, will set sail at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 26, in John and Alice Butler Hall, Heritage Center, University of Dubuque. The performance is part of the 10th annual Live at Heritage Center Performing Arts Series.

Join the band of swashbuckling buccaneers, bumbling British bobbies, frolicsome Victorian maidens, and the delightfully dotty “model of a modern Major-General” for a rollicking romp over the rocky coast of Cornwall. The Pirates of Penzance features a band of tenderhearted pirates celebrating the coming of age of Frederic, who was mistakenly apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday. A ludicrous leap year snap threatens to keep him apprenticed to the pirates for life, despite his moral objection to piracy.

Performed in its original format with a cast of 30 and a 17-piece orchestra, The Pirates of Penzance is directed and conducted by Albert Bergeret with choreography by Bill Fabris. The rich sounds of full orchestra, chorus, and vocal soloists resonate with classic elegance and power while the company’s vibrancy, energy, and contemporary sense of humor keep the show alive and exciting to a modern audience.

Patter songs are a Gilbert & Sullivan trademark and The Pirates of Penzance features the most famous of them all, “I am the very model of a modern Major-General.”

Quickly approaching 50 years of existence, New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players is America’s preeminent professional Gilbert & Sullivan repertory ensemble. Under the dynamic leadership of Artistic Director Albert Bergeret, who has been hailed as “the leading custodian of the G&S classics” by New York Magazine, New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players has created its own special niche in the cultural mosaic of New York City and the nation.

Tickets can be purchased from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday and 90 minutes prior to events at the Farber Box Office, Heritage Center, University of Dubuque, 2255 Bennett Street; by calling 563.585.SHOW; or by visiting www.dbq.edu/heritagecenter.

Conlon Construction is the presenting sponsor of the 2022-2023 Live at Heritage Center Performing Arts Series.

No Sew Blanket project at Applewood 1
Retired and Senior Volunteer Program(RSVP) volunteers bring their unique skillsets and experiences to help our community members thrive. RSVP has been sponsored by UnityPoint Health Finley Hospital since 1982 and has been a part of Dubuque County since 1972.

When you join RSVP you choose how you want to serve and give back. Serve as a Home Delivered Meals volunteer bringing a hot meal to an elderly neighbor. Support a family impacted by natural disaster by joining the Volunteer Reception Center volunteers. Keep an elderly neighbor connected to their family, friends, and community by becoming a DuRide Driver. These are just a few of the opportunities available to you through RSVP.

Our goal is to meet the needs of both the volunteer and non-profits. We do this by helping you find a service opportunity that you are passionate about. With RSVP you can use the skills and talents you’ve learned over the years or develop new ones while serving in a variety of volunteer activities in your community.

RSVP empowers community members over the age of 55 to serve Dubuque County in a way that suits your schedule, skills, and interests. Get involved and make a positive difference.

Are There Recalled Foods in Your Freezer?

How many food items in your freezer, refrigerator or kitchen cabinet are on recall lists?

I spotted a food recall alert on the news, but I only heard part of the announcement. On to the internet I went, looking for the information. And sure enough, for the first time ever, I actually had a recalled food item. It was a bit unnerving to realize that I hadn’t been reading all the recall alerts I get in my email inbox.

While looking for more sites that provide alerts, I came across one I hadn’t known about: FoodManufacturing.com. Just in the past few weeks, they’ve put out alerts for a certain soup because of an error on the label, several brands of Vienna sausages, hot chocolate K-cups (it might contain peanut products), a pot roast meal, sprouts, frozen chicken entrees, popcorn, frozen manicotti, diced beef ... and more.

To look at their list, go to the site and click on the “Recalls/Alerts” tab.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service arm of the Department of Agriculture issues alerts as well at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls. Note the advanced search feature on the left side of the screen where you can filter by cause, risk level, states and more.

Food Safety (www.foodsafety.gov) provides information on the safe handling and storage of food.

Recalls.gov is another good site for recall notices. Click on the “Food” tab to see your online choices. 

And what should I do with that recalled product I found in my freezer? I’m going to take it back to the store for a refund, of course. 

On a sad note, did you see the Consumer Reports research on the amount of lead and cadmium in our favorite dark chocolate bars? Go to ConsumerReports.org and put “Lead and Cadmium Could Be in Your Dark Chocolate” in the search box.
