Seniors at graduation are at the peak of their educational career. They wait, beaming in all their pride and glory for the hard studying and grueling test-taking they have endured.

They long for the moment their is name called to walk in front of hundreds and receive their diploma-then an ecstatic relative blows an air horn and other students can’t hear their name being announced.

Students are helping students. HABBA, or “celebration,” began today with fun and a contribution to teaching at Warren Regional Juvenile Detention Center hosted by the Future Selves Program.

HABBA is a week-long celebration involving henna tattoos, Indian food sales, music requests to loved ones and a faculty tug of war.

While people are finding ways to save money, often eliminating some leisure activities from their weekly routines, lines at the movie theaters and video stores remain.

The buttery scent of popcorn fills the noses of people at the theater. As they walk into the dimly illuminated room, they plop down on the cushioned chairs, escaping into an alternate reality where it seems that their problems disappear.

If you want to expand your cultural knowledge, the next two nights will be full of sounds and scents that will lure you in to indulge your taste buds, and colorful spectacles that will overwhelm your eyes.

Today, Fresh Foods will open at 4:30 p.m. serving a variety of international dishes including curry chicken and Asian barbecue ribs made by executive chef Gill Holts.
