Like all theater costume designers, Luke Brown always has an eye out for clothing and items that help create reality on a stage.
When shopping to help set a play, the first-year Yale Drama School student scours shops and attics for the "clothing that best fits the personality" of the characters. On occasion, he comes across other treasures - the a 1960s-era tie, a vintage Lacoste sweater, a pair of Vans sneakers - that he buys for their nearly unique appeal. For example, when Brown returned last winter from a visit to his hometown in Idaho he brought back five vintage cowboy shirts he'd found in antique shops.

At 25, ex-Endicott star Currier already a head coach
Walking the walk right off the bat with 14- to 18-hour workdays, Quick and Currier brought in five freshmen who helped Division 3 Daniel Webster garner six victories this past season. Currier also got a taste of the top spot when Quick took a two-week mid-season sabbatical, holding the reins on an interim basis.
Currier will be hitting the road hard in search of talent. He already landed two Salem High stars, Chris Hanson and Nick Linear, who led the Witches over Andover in the Division 1 North state tourney.
"Any time you take over an 0-25 program, you know you need new faces," Currier said. "And talent-wise, it's hard to win with freshmen. We've learned that. But now that they're a year older and seasoned, we're looking to them to be floor leaders. They're up to the challenge."
Point guard Jamie Bryant (15.7 points a game) is pegged to be one of the focal points, as will senior Ryan Middlemiss of Methuen.
Canby Home Explosion Rattles Neighborhood
CANBY, Ore. - A Canby home was blown to pieces Thursday afternoon after a gas leak caused an explosion and a two-alarm fire. It happened at 11:30 a.m. on Sycamore Street. A utility crew worker was using a backhoe when he first smelled natural gas and reported it to authorities. NW Natural Gas responded and evacuated the homeowners. Four firefighters were checking the leak and ventilating the home when it suddenly exploded. The blast shattered windows and blew the doors off of the house. The garage door was found across the street. Though neighbors say they heard the blast from a mile away, 11-year-old Taylor Lee was right next door. She was home sick from school when she says she heard the explosion from inside her house. She says lamps in her home started to shake and pictures on the walls fell to the ground.
