Holding memories of the past, an Astra ticket stub symbolizes more than a piece of paper, it is a piece of history. Jasper, Indiana’s, downtown square swallows the Astra theater with its dank lights and cloudy windows. In the process of being reborn, the vacant building, and its once shining neon sign, stands as if there is light at the end of the tunnel. Because of the tenacity of civic minded patrons, the historic Astra theater on the square begins its transformation from a vacant memory…

his junior year, he improved his scoring averages by almost ten points, jumping from 7.6 to 17.3 PPG.

forty-two-hundred miles, navigated through eleven stats all in fifty six days. I had slept in churches, fire stations, campgrounds and a Wal-Mart parking lot. I biked over the Appalachians, the Ozarks and the Rocky Mountains with an elevation of 11,542 feet at Hoosier Pass in Colorado.
