The cast of “Firebird” was one part of the Spring Dance Concert at Idyllwild Arts last week. The three-day event featured seven routines, which Dance Chair Ellen Rosa-Taylor directed and numerous talented students choreographed and danced. “Firebird,” a famous ballet by Maurice Béjart and scored by Igor Stravinsky, features themes of revolution, idealism and rebirth, presenting a strong finish to the evening.

Clothes hangers and red strips of fabric were placed on crosses on the property of the Queen of Angels Catholic Church on North Circle Drive. The white crosses are an annual silent protest to the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe V. Wade decision, which gave women the right to terminate a pregnancy. The clothes hangers and fabric strips were seen on about half the crosses on Monday, presumably in counter-protest.
