  • WHITNEY HOUSTON.jpg Music and film star Whitney Houston dies at 48

    Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen told reporters outside the Beverly Hilton that Houston was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. in her room on the fourth floor of the hotel. Her body remained there and Beverly Hills detectives were investigating.

    "There were no obvious signs of any criminal intent," Rosen said.

    Houston'spublicist, Kristen Foster, said the cause of death was unknown.

  • la_boheme.jpg This beautiful ‘Boheme’ will feature high note

    For many tenors, the most famous aria in Giacomo Puccini’s opera “La Boheme” is in a key too tough to tackle so they knock the piece down a half-step.
    Not the Shenango Valley’s driving force for appreciating the art of singing.
    “I’m going to take the high C,” said Dr. Francisco Cano, founder of Valley Lyric Opera who is singing the part of Rodolfo in the upcoming staging of the opera at the Pierce Opera House in Sharpsville.
