will present a concert at 7pm onThursday Jan. 9 at First PresbyterianChurch, Louisiana. The BowlingGreen High School choir will joinwith the Millikin students for twopieces.

The choir, from Millikin Univer-sity in Decatur, Ill., will perform aspart of its annual winter tour, show-casing its reputation for innovativeprogramming and tonal variety withrepertoire spanning five centuries.

The choir owns an extensive tour-ing history that includes perform-ances in Scandinavia, Russia, Haiti,Puerto Rico, the Dominican Repub-lic, China, Taiwan, the Baltic Statesand throughout the United King-dom. Additionally the Choir hasseven CDs to its credit. Recent ap-pearances at National Conferencesof the American Choral Director’sAssociation have garnered new at-tention to the Choir’s approach tostyle and tone.

The Millikin University Choir isunder the direction of Dr. BradleyHolmes, Professor of Music and Di-rector of Choral Studies. He has ledthe choir since 1991.

Millikin’s School of Music offersa wide variety of degree programsand fields of specialization. The

University Choir is one of four tra-ditional choral ensembles involvingover 200 students. Choir membersare chosen after highly competitiveauditions among the student bodyand represent a variety of majors.

Millikin, an independent coedu-cational university, offers the diver-sity of a large university and thepersonal attention of a small collegewith multiple academic programswhich are unified by a uniquegrounding in ‘performance learn-ing’, a hallmark of Millikin’s in-structional approach.

BRAD HOLMES, CONDUCTORFrom the pure sounds of the Ren-

aissance to the robust qualities ofmajor choral/orchestral works, theMillikin University Choir celebratesa broad variety of styles and genres.Rather than being identified with aparticular choral approach, the choirhas been at the forefront of the ‘tonaldiversity’ movement exploring vocalapproaches rooted in historicalprecedence, national custom andfolk-music traditions. In this way,the choir strives to master a distincttone and articulation for each piecein its repertoire.

The choir’s diversity in style iswell matched by their unique per-formance schedule. From schools tochurches to major auditoriums, thechoir seeks to bring a unique blendof warmth and artistic excellence toaudiences of every description. Thechoir has performed in such remark-able settings as the National Cathe-dral in Washington, D.C. andCathedral Santo Domingo, the firstcathedral in the New World. Theyhave sung invitation concerts atYork Minster and Canterbury Cathe-dral in England, St. Mary’s Cathe-dral in Edinburgh and St Patrick’sCathedral in Dublin. But their per-formance schedule has also includedsuch unusual locations as St. Vin-cent’s School for the Handicappedin Port au Prince, Haiti and streetperformances in Santiago, Domini-can Republic.

The Millikin University Choirhas gained national recognition, duein part to seven invitations to per-form at national and regional confer-ences of the American ChoralDirectors Association (ACDA). An-nual tours have made the choir a fa-miliar presence in concert seriesacross the United States. Interna-tional trips have taken them through-

Louisiana died in peace Saturday,Dec. 21, 2019 at the Maple GroveLodge Nursing Home in Louisiana.

A memorial luncheon will be heldas they celebrate the life of Edith‘Edie’ Dove. The luncheon will beheld from noon-4 p.m., Saturday,Janu. 18 at the American Legion inLouisiana. Everyone is welcome.

She was born May 2, 1948, thedaughter of Simon and Bessie Hub-bard Howard. She went to school atClopton, and graduated in 1968.

After graduation, she startedwork as a nurse’s assistant, andthat’s what she did her entire life,until she retired in 2010. She lovedfamily. She loved people being near.She didn’t need a lot of attentionfrom anyone, she was always con-tent just knowing that her familywas there. She was known as awoman who would “give you theshirt off her back, and give you herlast dollar, even if she needed itmore”. She loved having dinnersand family gatherings, and alwayslooked forward to the next one.

She had a daughter, RebeccaLynn Arttus, born March 10, 1973,who did not survive. Wendy Lind-say, married to Mike, Jr., is her onlysurviving child. Wendy has threechildren, Brett, Lindsey, and KaydenWeimer. Mike has two children,Kayla and Brandon Lindsay, whomWendy considers her own and Edieconsidered them her own grandchil-dren also.

On March 14, 1987, she marriedthe love of her life, George Dove.He had three children, Sherrie DoveArnold, married to Jarad; Sherriehas three children, ChristopherMiller, Sarah Miller, and ClaytonMiller; Victor Dove, married toAngie, and Donald Dove. Donaldhas four children, Austin, Brent,Wyatt, and Sofia Dove. Edie lovedGeorge’s kids and grandkids as herown, from the time she started herlife with him until the day she tookher last breath. George preceded herin death on their 27th wedding an-niversary, March 14, 2014. She wasa sister to 13 siblings.

Preceding her in death were threebrothers, Clifford Howard, PatHoward, and Dale Howard; and foursisters, Jean Harding, Dorothy Col-bert, Helen Honey, and Mary JoHenderson.

She is survived by one brother,David Howard; and five sisters,Doris Bartkowiak, Lou Darnell,Vickie Bowen, Waivie Howard, andRoberta Howard. Edie was a fa-vorite “Aunt Edie” to so many of hernieces and nephews. She loved themso much, she considered many ofthem her own children as well.Many moments with them made herlaugh until she cried.

In May of 2019 her health took aserious turn. It was a hard decision,but Edie and Wendy together talkedabout putting her in a nursing home.She went to Maple Grove NursingFacility on a trial basis for therapy,and ultimately decided on her ownto stay there. During her short timethere, she grew to love the nursesand staff as her own family, and theyadored her and treated her as if shewas their mother and grandmother.

During her final days, all shecould talk about was getting backhome to Maple Grove. Her wisheswere granted, and on the evening ofFriday, Dec. 20, she was transportedback there from a two-week hospitalstay, to be put on the hospice pro-gram.

She smiled from ear to ear whenshe got back in those doors. Shekept telling me she was so veryhappy to be back home; back withall of the staff there, and back withher very special friend and room-mate, Loretta Law. In the very earlymorning hours of Dec. 21, God de-cided to call her home to be withHim, and so many family memberswho were waiting with open arms togreet her.

The loss of Edie Dove, leaves avoid in lives that no one else willever be able to fill; but her life is onethat many will continue to celebrate,until we see her again in heaven.

Memorial donations may bemade to the Pike County Home Careand Hospice. Cremation rites were

provided by Collier Funeral Homein Louisiana.

under eight to be in a child safety orbooster seat until they are 80 lbs. or4'9" tall. According to the NationalHighway Traffic Safety Administra-tion, three out of four child safetyseats are improperly installed."The more resources and techni-

cians we have available to assistfamilies with car seat installment,the safer children are in a vehicle,"said Kathy Zents, a certified passen-ger safety seat technician trainer.

more than simply installing childsafety seats," Zents explained.
