DRIVING

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car - both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself "I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light." After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection and the light was red again.

Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!"

Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh! Am I driving?"

Jewel Headlines a Solo-Acoustic Concert on Aug. 19th in Her Hometown to Raise Funds for "Artists in Schools" Program

Jewel Headlines a Solo-Acoustic Concert on Aug. 19th in Her Hometown to
Raise Funds for "Artists in Schools" Program



Recording artist, author and philanthropist Jewel is returning to her hometown of
Homer, Alaska to help raise funds for the Bunnel Street Arts Center "Artists in
Schools" program. She will headline a solo-acoustic concert on Aug. 19th at Homer's
Mariner Theater. Atz Lee Kilcher, Jewel's brother, will also be on the bill. The
program serves over 1,000 students annually by exposing youth of diverse
socio-economic backgrounds to varied art forms and the richness of world art
heritage.

"I'm so thankful for this town and all that I have been able to accomplish because
of the support I received as a young and aspiring artist. When I was 15, I was
accepted to Interlochen, an arts school in Michigan, to pursue my studies in visual
art and music," said Jewel. "My hometown of Homer, Alaska helped me raise the
$11,000 that I needed to go. That was a critical stage in my journey that led me to
where I am today. I'm happy to be able to give back and help others in this
wonderful community. The people here are so talented and gifted. I'm very proud of
where my family and I come from."

Jewel has recently been on national tour, promoting her first-ever independent CD
release, Lullaby. The album was produced by Jewel at her home studio in
Stephenville, Texas. The 15-tracks feature 10 self-penned songs and a few standards
including "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." The
acoustic record is reminiscent of Jewel's twelve-time platinum album Pieces of You.

Jewel is currently writing for her next country music album, the follow-up effort to
her successful launch into the format with the #1 Billboard-charting CD Perfectly
Clear. In addition, she also continues her philanthropic outreach with Project
Clean Water, a foundation she launched in 1997. To date, the charity has helped
over 30 communities overcome their individual drinking water problems in 13
different countries on 5 different continents.

The "Artists in Schools" concert will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 19th at 7:30
p.m. at Homer's Mariner Theater. Tickets are $30 general admission; $25 Bunnell
Street Members. For additional information, please visit
