By Aly Gruchaly, Contributing WriterTHE END OF A DRY SPELLMUSIC

rand Forks has been in a dry spell and Im not talking about the lack of precipitation. With such an odd spring, the weather has been a little porting seventy-degree sunshiny days one week and drizzling rain and unexpected snowfall the next. But discussion of the mundane facets oakota weather can wait. Ill leave that to the trained professionals: the weathermen.

What I am referring to is a music dry spell, specifically hardcore rock. These booming concerts have been dwindling in Grand Forks during theew months, due to the fact Ojata Records and Comics Store (a previous popular venue for local concerts) has been instructed to refrain fromny shows, thanks to noise complaints from a local (and rather noisy) drinking establishment.

hankfully, the dry spell was broken! On Saturday, March 24th, The Ember (formerly FreedomChurch) at 8 North 3rd Street, graciously openedoors to hundreds of people, ranging from avid scene kids, rocking mile-high spiky hair and painted-on dark-wash skinny jeans, to first-time oers, looking a little nervous and a lot excited, to proud parents of some of the band members.

he opening act of the concert was the two-piece band Busted Knuckle. Hailing from East Grand Forks, Busted Knuckles approach to music is

o say the least. Without a lead vocalist/screamer or a bassist, this band consists of only a guitarist and a drummer. In the realm of the Grand music scene, it is easy to tell they are not afraid to take risks and experiment with their music, a laudable undertaking. Even the guitar itself scNotice me! with the shocking electric lime green guitar strings vibrating from every single pick/strum. Even their homemade t-shirts demanon. And they received it. Busted Knuckle woke up the crowd and helped prepare them for the upcoming bands.

has been a while since Roll the Credits has played a show. A whole year, in fact. But this fact didnt matter at all. Roll the Credits kept the enhe crowded room flowing, playing high-energy, vocally-driven songs, pumping-up the crowd even more. There were quite a few knowledgean the audience. They sang along to the pop-rock infused melodies, obviously familiarized with these songs, loyal fans with grins plastered onaces as they rushed up to the stage, pumping fists in the air and screaming the lyrics into the singers out-held microphone.

he next band to perform was the crowd favorite The Consumption. Even though the merchandise booth sold mouthwateringly sweet cupcakentively decorated with the green and blue initials TC, their performance was bittersweet, their last show as The Consumption. The room wolutely packed. Even the hardcore dancers were cramped, swinging arms haphazardly and gladly running in circles when the infamous circlepened up, unleashing the energy of the fans. The crowd couldnt stop moving, singing along to the music, and jumping up and down in tim

he guitar rhythms and the clash of the cymbals. The crowds favorite song, entitled (and inspired by) Reeses Puffs, pulled out all the stops. Ahusiastic fan donned an inventive costume, an orange cardboard box, a giant replica of a Reeses Puffs cereal box, complete with the intricatf the nutritional facts. All in all, it was a fantastic final performance. And if anyone wishes to purchase any Consumption memorabilia, now whe time to do so, because they are vanishing at an alarming rate.

he two final bands, both hailing from Fargo, North Dakota, delivered enthusiastic performances. These Hearts is signed to the record label Vecords, and they have a full-length CD entitled Forever Ended Yesterday available for purchase along with T-shirts. The headlining band Thehe winner of the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands in December of 2010. They also have an EP available for sale, called The Way That We Fall, as wther merchandise. However, when they played, none of those facts really mattered. What mattered was the music. The kids in the back of theere dancing, swinging their arms and stomping back and forth across the floor. The kids in the front of the room were bobbing their heads

o the breakdowns and jumping along with the band members. Everyone was dancing, shaking the floor of the old Freedom Church. Its abouardcore music, the chugging guitar rhythms, the piercing guitar riffs, the booming bass drops, the cry of the keyboard, the chatter of the cymnd the raw emotionally powerful screams of the singer with the crowd.

oise complaints? What noise complaints? All I hear is music.

By Brandi Jewett, Contributing WriterWOLFING DOWN AMAZING PIZZA AT RHOMBUS GUYDINING

After starting out as a smoothie shack in the town of Thief River Falls, Minn., Rhombus Guys has since ex-panded to a successful restaurant chain and is serving their pizza to more people than ever before.

The restaurant opened a third establishment in Fargo in August, bringing its Grand Forks-famous entreswith it.

Myself and a dinner guest opted for the pizza joint recently. We snagged a small table near the front of t

restaurant. We immediately ordered a round of the cheesy bread ($7.49). The bread is highlighted as stafvorite on the menu and with good reason.

I was introduced to this cheesy bread a few years ago by a friend and have been made it a point to ordewhenever I visit Rhombus Guys. After securing our appetizer, it was on to the main course.The restaurant has expanded its menu since I first started school here four years ago. The menu now featitems such as a variety of saladsincluding a Classico Italia, tropical and seafoodpannis and wraps.

Of course, the staple of Rhombus Guys is the pizza. The community has selected the restaurants T-Rex pas its favorite for the fifth year in a row. Packed with pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, beef and bacothe T-Rex is a formidable opponent for any pizza connoisseur.

Our selection for the evening was the Canadian bacon and pineapple-topped Busey (small - $14.99, med- $17.99 and large - $20.99).

If youre feeling more adventurous, theres always the Pacific Northwest, topped with garlic infused olivetomato, smoked salmon, feta, green olive, black olive and capers.

Or perhaps you want to celebrate Mardi Gras on a Thursday in April. You can try the Louisiana SaturdayNight featuring Cajun marinara sauce, shrimp, sausage, red pepper, pepperoncini and caramelized onion

While waiting for the pizza to arrive, I drew a portrait of my pet parakeet with the crayons and paper pro-vided at the tables. This is another aspect of the restaurant that I enjoy. I usually get so caught up in drawon the paper table cloth that it makes the wait for food seem shorter, which is always a plus.

Our pizza arrived piping hot and there was plenty of it. The pizza was simple and simply tasted good. Oncould probably argue its hard to mess up a two-topping pizza, but Ive seen it done.Though it was too cold this past weekend to enjoy my pizza and cheesy bread on the restaurants roof, thexperience was enjoyable nonetheless.

My son Michael, editor and publisher of this magazine, asked if I would consider writing an

occasional monthly article about something I was passionate about and that others might be interested in. A very tall order

my interests cover a very narrow spectrum; motorcycles and riding the forgotten roads of rural America.

My apologies for boring you with my motorcycle history but I suppose its necessary to add some credentials under my nam

least give the article a chance.

Around 1967 I somehow convinced my parents that I had turned into a mature and wise 15year-old and that purchasing a 1

thing BSA single-cylinder motorcycle was in their best interest. (As a twice over parent I still cannot grasp why they gave m

thumbs up but it likely had something to do with a recent increase in a life insurance policy and my intolerable rebellious at

BSA I groveled for had some dirt track racing history and I wish someone had given me a clue how to ride what I thought w

Schwinn with a motor on it. It wasnt until many years later that I found out that a compression release wasnt intended to ing assist but was there to help ease the starting process. Man, Ive still got a knee that aches when a cold front is in the a

limp that earns some respect around old bikers.

yway, because my kid has restricted my first magazine offering Ive got to come to some conclusion and let you move on to other pages that might include pictures and co

me other doo-da. My current ride is a 1998 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail Classic that I bought new. Although shes morphed numerous times she still retains her classi

paint and chrome still shine. After touching all of the lower 48-states at least once (and most multiple times) Ive logged more than 200,000 miles on the Heritage. I also cl

g rights for being a member of the Iron Butt Association, a Ride Captain for the ND Patriot Guard, and a Lifetime member of the Harley Owners Group. My riding partner, w

ned to be married to (Karen), will rollover a 100,000 miles on her 2003 Harley-Davidson Road King later this summer. She also is a Life member of HOG and is very active

triot Guard.

toss in the occasional motorcycle article in the next few issues but before I close I encourage you to attend the Red River Valley Motorcyclists bike show on April 14th and

tastic event and the proceeds go to some very worthwhile and deserving organizations that serve our region. Come visit us at the ND Patriot Guard booth; we look forwar

you. If you spot a Sinister Blue Harley with a license plate that says B4UDIE say hi and offer him money. Next month.

ew weeks ago, I was informed of a new cell phone policy that was being implemented in high schools throughout the nation. These schools would allow smartphone use in

g as the phones were used for school activities and nothing else. My first reaction to this was a flood of memories concerning my own cellphone use during my junior and

ars of high school (many of which involved standing half-inside my locker so that I could text my boyfriend without having my phone confiscated). My second reaction to the

was confusion that quickly turned to annoyance. I couldnt, and still cant, remember one instance in high school where the use of a cellphone was necessary. Everything

ng taught could be found in our textbooks. If we needed to look up information for a particular class, we would simply go to the computer lab. We werent allowed to have p

hool, and even though we may have disliked it, we didnt miss out on anything because of it.

e students at these schools, of course, love this new policy. And why wouldnt they? Even if the policy stipulates that the phones can only be used for school-related activit

difficult for the school to enforce or even monitor the students cell phone use. If a student has his phone in front of him with the screen dimmed, how is the teacher ever g

ow if hes doing research or on Facebook? If cell phones are allowed to take the place of calculators in math classes, whats to stop students from simply texting the answe

other during tests? And since its so easy to simply type a question into Google and receive an immediate answer, what will happen to the practice of looking up answers in

d figuring things out for yourself?

fortunately, I am part of a generation that considers actually looking something up in a library a form of cruel and unusual punishment, that couldnt tell you the product of 6

hout using a calculator (its 42, by the way), and that is often incapable of reading at grade level because Ill just wait until the movie

mes out or Ill just look it up on Sparknotes. I am part of a generation that wants fast answers and is often unwilling to work for them.

e schools putting this policy into action say that they are simply advancing with the times. While that may be true to some extent, allowing cellphone use in class under the

nce that it can only be used for school-related activities seems to be asking a lot of students who live on Facebook and consider texting a main form of social interaction. L

dents who want to use their phones in class are not thinking about how that usage is going to enrich their learning.

e thing that really disturbs me about this new cellphone policy, though, is that it is only one of the many examples Ive seen of schools catering to students who are indiffer

rning.

hile I was in high school, I worked for three years as a student aid in an elementary after-school program. One day, while subbing in a fourth grade class, I was asked to re

dent. Though he was a smart kid and I was told that he had no learning disabilities, this 9-year-old read at a first-grade level. He simply had no interest in learning to read.

self wondering how long this kid was going to be simply ushered through school before the work became impossible for him to do.

d whats going to happen to the rest of my generation if all the answers are at our fingertips with the press of a button? We may all groan when our parents bring up the sto

w they didnt have all of this information at their fingertips when they were our age, but maybe theyre onto more than they realize. After all, they survived and flourished, an

can we. I, for one, dont feel that forcing students to look up answers in textbooks, solve basic math problems without calculators, and wait until after class to communicate

nds is asking too much. After all, theres no better way to learn than to work for an answer, and isnt that really what school is all about?

Art is such a large part of the Grand Forks culture, and we have so many wonderful artists in the region, so it's great to have an event that

ally showcases these artists and allows people to learn more about them. Up and coming artists are featured so it's a great opportunity fothem, as well as veterans in the art community. There is always a great mix of different types of art, everything from photography and cerics to painting and non-traditional media. Works of art can also be purchased at the show for different price points so there's something feveryone.

A5) Anything else?Shannon) We are so thankful to receive so much support from Happy Harry's Bottle Shops, the North Dakota Museum of Art and NorthDakota Council on the Arts.
