By Megan Wirts Why do I put myself into situations that make me uncomfortable and scare the crap out of me? This is a question I was asking myself right after I got a phone call from FOX 17, a local news station based in Grand Rapids, saying that they want to interview me. Well, actually I was frantically asking myself, “WHAT HAVE I DONE!?!?” and hyperventilating a little. After three deep cleansing breaths, I calmed down enough to call my husband and tell him that a news crew was coming to our house in three days to interview me about my experience with... The Luthiers Concert- A Review
By Ken DeLaat Photos By Faune Benson Schuitema and Cheryl Benson 11 years running and once again a packed house at the Dogwood Center’s Black Box as folks poured in to witness the latest version of The Luthier’s Concert.

Here at N3 World Headquarters and Yellow Cat Kingdom we are looking at a full slate of activities so varied and diverse that it is difficult to imagine there not being something for everyone. In addition we’re heading into one of those February warm weather teasers over the next several days so the general mood of the populace should be lightened a bit AND this meteorological modification generally heralds the beginning of some serious shoe spotting. I mean, of course, the litany of orphaned footwear lining the highways and byways of our fair land. Always just one and...  Megan Again: The Angst Of Valentine's Day (Thank You Alanis)
By Megan Wirts During my middle school and high school years I absolutely hated Valentine’s Day. It started in the 5th grade when the student council held their annual Carnation Sale. You could buy a carnation for your special Valentine and have it delivered to them during class on Valentine’s Day. It was extremely romantic in my 11-year-old eyes and I couldn’t wait for my boyfriend, of a just a few days, to buy one for me. He and I never actually spoke words to each other, but I had one of my friends tell one of his friends that I liked him and his friend told my friend...
