 We have a new Videographer on campus and he's ready for your projects! Kade Stirling is a CSI graduate who earned an associate's degree and technical certificate in digital media. You may recognize him as the intern who worked closely with our last videographer, Zack Bartlett.
Kade is a very creative young man who is enthusiastic about creating film and he's very excited to be working at CSI.
Here's how his internship works. If you have a project or questions, first contact Kim LaPray in the Public Information Office. She will schedule Kade for a meeting to discuss your ideas and then she will book Kade for your shoot.
Kade can discuss scripts with you or help you create a brand new idea for your program, event, or message. The initial meeting to discuss your idea doesn't cost a thing. After that, Kade works for $25 an hour and usually can complete a video for no more than $350 depending on the length of the video and difficulty of editing.
After the video has been shot Kade will edit it and get a YouTube link to you. We can also create a DropBox folder with your file so you can download and keep the file. After the video is approved Kim will send you an invoice and you'll be free to use your video wherever you'd like.
Here is Kade's first completed project for CSI Athletics to give you an example of his work:

Hello Everyone, and Happy Halloween!
As part of the PACE Training Committee it was brought up that we plan one fun activity each month, along with a training, and a pay it forward event.
I mentioned to the team that each year on Halloween night my family puts on a small haunted house,
out of our home completely free of charge, we do appreciate any donations. We hand out full size candy bars to anyone that visits our home on Halloween night: trick-or treaters, co-workers, friends, family, and anyone who just happens to come by can get a fun little scare and a treat. If it is just adults going through we don't hold back on the scares, but if we see small kids we take it easy and just allow them to go through and see the decorations. It is very fun. The team thought it would be fun to inform you all of the event as part of a fun activity for this month. I hope that you all will come check out our home and have a little fun, bring your families, and let the scares begin.

Help the
Twin Falls Animal Shelter
and
CSI Sustainability Council
raise funds for dogs and cats by donating your gently worn, used or new shoes!
Drop off bins are located in every building on campus and at the animal shelter. You can also c
ontact Jan Simpkin at 732-6840 or [email protected] for more information.
Ask friends, family, neighbors, & co-workers to donate too!
Collected shoes are used to support micro-enterprise vendors. Micro-enterprises are small businesses in developing nations. They are typically operated by one person or family and friends, depending on size
.
Notes:
- We must collect 2,500 pairs, which will yield $1000 for the shelter.
- This is a fundraiser for the shelter (not for the Council). It also keeps shoes out of the landfill and provides shoes for people in developing countries who need them. We consider it a win-win-win.
Donations will be accepted through October 31.

 Tickets are available for the second performance of the Arts on Tour Season "A Tribute to my Paw Paw, Dr. Ralph Stanley", which will take place in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium on Thursday, October 20 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $28 for adults and $10 for students high school and under and under and are available at tickets.csi.edu, at the CSI Box Office, or by calling 732-6288.
When bluegrass legends come to mind there is one star that shines above them all... the legendary icon Dr. Ralph Stanley. Dr. Ralph was originally booked to play for the Arts on Tour series with his grandson Nathan Stanley, but sadly, Dr. Ralph Stanley died on June 23. Although he was devastated by the passing, Nathan vowed the music would go on and will be performing with his band and featured vocalist and friend/collaborator of Ralph Stanley, Jim Lauderdale, on October 20. "A Tribute to my Paw Paw, Dr. Ralph Stanley" features the music that made Dr. Ralph a legend and earned him Grammy awards, including such hits as Man of Constant Sorrow, Oh Death, Pretty Polly, Rank Stranger, Angel Band and many more. Not to be missed, "A Tribute to my Paw Paw" will be a special evening of beloved bluegrass and stories of the late, great Dr. Ralph Stanley.
Nathan Edmond Stanley was born into a music royalty bloodline and family Legacy. As the grandson of the Bluegrass music icon Dr. Ralph Stanley, Nathan made his music debut at the young age of two on stage with his Grandfather at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, playing the spoons for the Clinch Mountain Boys. He later graduated to playing the mandolin, and in 2007 became the lead singer and rhythm guitar player for the Clinch Mountain Boys, who are one of the most highly acclaimed bands in the music industry. Stanley has eight solo albums to his credit, recording with artists such as Brad Paisley, George Jones, Marty Stuart, Patty Loveless and many more. His voice is filled with conviction and emotion, with traces of old ghosts from days gone by.
Jim Lauderdale is an American country, bluegrass, and Americana singer-songwriter. Since 1986, he has released 23 studio albums, including collaborations with artists such as Dr. Ralph Stanley, Buddy Miller, and Donna the Buffalo. A "songwriter's songwriter," his songs have been recorded by dozens of artists, notably George Strait, Gary Allan, Elvis Costello, Blake Shelton, the Dixie Chicks, Vince Gill, and Patty Loveless.
Follow-up performances of the Arts on Tour season include The Los Angeles Cello Quartet (November 17), The Peking Acrobats (February 1), The Bria Skonberg Quartet (February 16), Carlos Núñez (March 30), and Olé (April 26).

The CSI Stage Door Series will present "Piano Passport: A Musical Journey" on October 28. The performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium.
Ready to travel the world without leaving the Fine Arts Auditorium? Join the Brava Piano Duo - pianists Sue Miller and Allison Bangerter - in a musical journey without having to get your passport renewed. Liszt's energetic
Hungarian Rhapsody #2 and Chopin's
Polish Rondo for Two Pianos will send you soaring through Europe in a flurry of popular virtuosity, while the
Yellow River Piano Concerto will lead you on less familiar paths through Asia. Next--a trip to Bali. Known as "Paradise on Earth"--traveling to Indonesia might normally take extensive planning, but you can travel there in a heartbeat with
Ceremonial Balinese Music by Colin McPhee. CSI's Drama Department will add exotic flair by presenting a traditional shadow play in connection with the music. Returning home, the Brava Piano Duo is pleased to present an original arrangement of Gershwin's
Rhapsody in Blue filled with familiar jazz sounds. If you love to travel and you love music, you won't want to miss this concert!
Tickets are $10 for adults or $5 for CSI or high school and under students and are available at the CSI Box Office, by calling 732-6288, at the door, or by going online to
http://tickets.csi.edu. Seating is limited to 100 people.
The CSI Stage Door Series, intimate arts experiences where both performers and audience members are on the stage itself, are designed to be thought-provoking and a little out of the ordinary in different ways - whether it's because of the intimate setting, the material performed, the way they are presented, or the collaborations involved.
For more information, contact the CSI Fine Arts Center at 732-6288.

 Bullying is behavior that hurts, harms, or humiliates a student, either physically or emotionally, and can happen while at school, in the community, or online. Those bullying often have more social or physical "power," while those targeted have difficulty stopping the behavior. The behavior is often done with intent and typically repeated.
Students often describe bullying as when "someone makes you feel less about who you are as a person."
Join the employees and students of CSI in recognizing this day on our main campus, off campus centers and in the classrooms at Head Start. Watch for more details to follow.
