Jasper High School students ‘stuff the bus' on High School Radio Day
JASPER, Ind. (WEHT) – Students at Jasper High School are celebrating National High School Radio Day while helping those in need. The annual celebration collects donations for Community CHEW, a Dubois County non-profit that helps feed families. Evan Elrod runs the school's radio station, 91.7 The Curve, giving students the chance to broadcast live for Stuff The Bus.
'One of the things that we don't do a lot of that other radio stations do is go live on location,' says Elrod. 'This gives the kids an opportunity to get out of the studio and have that live pressure moment of, 'Okay, what am I supposed to say now?''
'It kind of has helped me find exactly what I want to do and exactly how I can use that in real world experiences,' says Jasper senior Ava Bower. Grant Seibert, a junior, says the event helps personally and professionally. 'It just makes me feel good that I'm able to give back for all the great things that the community has provided for me,' says Seibert.

'I was not expecting this many people,' adds Bower. 'It's just really nice to see how many people we impact with The Curve, because you're behind the radio station, you are talking to yourself, basically,' she says, 'so it's really nice to know that we are heard.'
For some students, it's a chance to see what a future in broadcasting looks like with a live report from a special event. For others, like senior Caelyn Lenardo, it's a cause that hits close to home.
'Personally, for me, I have been on the other side of this. I have been a part of Community CHEW when I was younger,' explains Lenardo. 'I used to go to their Summer program and they would totally help a lot. They would feed me every single day when my parents were at work and I was 12 years old and didn't know how to cook anything other than an egg!' Lenardo goes on to say, 'I love that I'm part of something that helps give back to someone that I have been at one point.'
Many students say the turnout for Stuff The Bus exceeded their expectations. Elrod says the community support was never in question. 'I will never underestimate the power of a strong community, and that's where we're at here,' says Elrod. 'We have a really strong community that isn't afraid to give back.'

Billy Joel's Message As Doc ‘Billy Joel: And So It Goes' Opens Tribeca Festival Without Him — ‘Getting Old Sucks, But It's Still Preferable To Getting Cremated'
An ailing Billy Joel was not in attendance tonight at the world premiere HBO documentary about his life and music but sent word to a packed Beacon Theater in NYC via its director. 'Billy wishes he were here tonight, and he asked us to convey his greetings to you all. He said 'getting old sucks, but it's still preferable to getting cremated',' relayed Susan Lacy, who helmed and produced the doc Billy Joel: And So It Goes with Jessica Levin. Part 1 of 2 opened the Tribeca Festival Wednesday. More from Deadline Billy Joel's Wife Thanks Fans For Outpouring Of Support Following Musician's Brain Disorder Diagnosis: "We Are Hopeful For His Recovery" Tribeca Festival Co-Founders Robert De Niro And Jane Rosenthal Express "Love And Full Support" For Ailing Billy Joel; "Deeply Honored" To Open Fest With Documentary About Him - Update Scarlett Johansson Ushers In 'SNL' Season 50 Finale With Musical Tribute Set To Billy Joel's 'Piano Man' - And Joke That Sarah Sherman Is Leaving 'Billy may be considered the poet laureate of New York. You feel the essence of our city in his lyrics,' said Tribeca Enterprises' Robert De Niro introducing the festival and the film with co-founder Jane Rosenthal. Joel's scrappiness and immense talent are both vivid in the film about the Long Island bard who formed his first cover band, The Lonely Souls, at age 14. That led to a group called The Hassles, then Attila with drummer Jon Small, until he fell in love with Small's wife Elizabeth Weber. That turned messy, she left. Joel attempted suicide. He eventually rallied. Elizabeth returned, they moved to California and married. She became his manager and his career slowly took off. He kept his chip. A cold, abusive father, also a pianist, left the family, and his possibly bipolar and alcoholic single mother was left to raise him and his sister. He described them as a rare Jewish and at times dirt poor family in his middle-class town. But he had music and his mother made sure he always had lessons. He felt alienated in California, went through a few producers, was down his first label and a music business that exploited talent and wrote songs about it all, making him somewhat unpopular. We see him expending significant effort in the doc trying to debunk frequent comparisons between himself and the other rising piano playing pop rock star Elon John. Back in New York he formed his band, went on tour opening for most every big act of the era, sold out Carnegie Hall connected with producer Phil Ramone and put out The Stranger in 1977, launching an era of hits, Grammy awards and full on stardom to drinking, drugs a motorcycle accident and split with Weber, ending Part 1. Music royalty dots the film. Paul McCartney said Joel's I Want You Just The Way You Are is the one song he wished he had written. Bruce Springsteen praised Joel's melodies. Nas described the wonders of Piano Man, about Joel's stint working at The Executive Room Bar in LA to make ends meet, and New York State of Mind, expressing relief as her returned to his home coast. 'Although we always wanted the music to speak for itself, we are immensely grateful that he was convinced that there was more to it than that,' Lacy said. 'It wasn't always easy, but he peeled back the layers of his music and his life with courage and humor and vulnerability. No matter where you're from, Billy's music reaches across geography and generations and in this increasingly fractured world it's a privilege to celebrate an artist whose music has connected for so long.' 'He will be back,' she said. The HBO Original has unprecedented access to never-before-seen performances, home movies, and personal photographs, along with extensive, in-depth one-on-one interviews of the rather private artist. An HBO Documentary Films presentation of a Pentimento Production in association with Hazy Mills Productions and Playtone Productions.

For HBO: executive producers, Nancy Abraham, Lisa Heller, Sara Rodriguez. The doc will debut on HBO and be available to stream on Max in July. Joel last month postponed all tour dates disclosing a diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), stemming from an onstage fall during a concert last February in Connecticut. The Rock and Roll Hall Of famer posted on social media that his condition led to 'problems with hearing, vision, and balance' and that was undergoing physical therapy. In an update late last month, his wife Alexis Roderick said the family 'is hopeful for his recovery' and thanked fans for an outpouring of support.
