CenterStage presents Lunasa on Saturday, Feb. 23
The CenterStage at Fitchburg State University arts and culture series invites you to be transported to the Emerald Isle when the celebrated Irish ensemble Lúnasa performs on Saturday, Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. in Weston Auditorium, 353 North St.
Lúnasa’s melodic lines soar as flutes, fiddles, whistles, and uillean pipe capture the ancient soul of traditional instrumental Irish music-and then surge into the 21st century with the rhythmic drive of the double bass. Experience what the Irish Voice calls “the hottest Irish acoustic group on the planet.” No wonder Irish Echo named Lúnasa’s CD one of Top Ten Traditional Albums of 2010.
Adding to the enjoyment of the evening are step-dance performances by the Fitchburg State dance club and Flying Irish Dance Studio from Ashby.
The performance is preceded by a spotlight talk at 7:15 p.m. with members of the band. While many Celtic bands feature a singer to carry its melodies, Lúnasa has taken a different path. Members of this band discuss how their instrumentation evokes the singer’s part.
Tickets for the concert are $28 for adults, $25 for seniors and $7 for students. The Weston Box Office, located inside Weston Auditorium, is open Thursdays and Fridays from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. and can be reached at 978-665-3347.
Lúnasa’s performance is co-sponsored by Sentinel & Enterprise, with support from media partner WPKZ and support from Slattery’s Restaurant.
Learn more at Lúnasa’s official website.

ENC is pleased to announce Dr. David Busic, president of Nazarene Theological Seminary, as the 2013 Winter Revival speaker, January 16-18. Dr. Busic will speak during college chapel services and at evening services.
Wednesday and Friday - 10:25am
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday - 7:00pm
Dr. David Busic is the ninth president of Nazarene Theological Seminary. His election on August 31, 2011, by the Board of Trustees was precipitated by the resignation of Dr. Ronald P. Benefiel.
Dr. Busic, 47, is a native of Central Oklahoma and was raised in Bethany. He received the Bachelor of Arts degree from Southern Nazarene University and the Master of Divinity degree from Nazarene Theological Seminary. In 2010, Southern Nazarene University conferred the Doctor of Divinity degree to him. He is currently pursuing doctoral studies in Theology and Culture at Fuller Theological Seminary.
Dr. Busic was ordained in the Church of the Nazarene in 1991. After serving in associate pastor roles in Oklahoma and Kansas, he served three churches as senior pastor: Vineyard Community Church of the Nazarene in Livermore, California; Central Church of the Nazarene in Lenexa, Kansas; and most recently the historic congregation of Bethany First Church of the Nazarene in Bethany, Oklahoma. During his tenure there, Dr. Busic helped initiate and establish the Swaziland Partnership in 2007 to help reduce the HIV/AIDS rate and to assist vulnerable children in Swaziland, Africa.
Dr. Busic has a distinguished tradition of service to the International Church of the Nazarene. He has served as a member of the General Board, the governing body of the denomination, from 2009 to present. During this time he was also elected President of the USA National Board. From 2005 to the present, Dr. Busic continues to serve as a member of the Board of General Superintendents’ Thought Partners, a think tank for critical issues facing the Church of the Nazarene.
Other denominational boards, councils, and positions Dr. Busic has served include Northern California District Nazarene Youth International President, Kansas City District Advisory Board, Northwest Oklahoma District Advisory Board, and Oklahoma District Advisory Board. He has also served on the Nazarene Theological Seminary Board of Trustees, Southern Nazarene University Board of Trustees, and as Adjunct Professor of Preaching at Nazarene Theological Seminary.
Dr. Busic has published numerous articles, co-authored two books, A Pastor’s Guide to Effective Preaching and Sharing My Faith, and was co-editor of Preacher’s Magazine: A Preaching Resource in the Wesleyan Tradition from 2000 to 2007. His preaching is widely respected throughout the church, making him a sought after speaker and leadership advisor.
Dr. Busic and his wife, Christi, currently reside in Kansas City, Missouri. They have three grown children, Megan, and husband, Joel Cantwell; Benjamin, and wife, Alicia; and Madison.
Professor publishes book on Mideast peace
Fitchburg State University Professor Eric N. Budd’s new volume on the struggle for peace in the Middle East – Conflicted are the Peacemakers: Israeli and Palestinian Moderates and the Death of Oslo – is being published this week by Continuum, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing.
The 1993 Oslo Accords were a key attempt to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, whose failure was largely attributed to extremists on both sides. Budd’s book challenges this conventional wisdom by examining the role of Israeli and Palestinian peacemakers themselves in derailing the peace process.
“The current conflict over the Gaza Strip shows how far apart the two sides remain,” said Budd, a faculty member in Fitchburg State’s department of economics, history and political science. “As the Oslo Peace Process has bogged down, the extremists have been empowered. With the moderates too conflicted to make peace, the extremists don't need to sabotage the peace process because the moderates have already done that for them, so the cycle of violence continues.”
Looking at the role of moderates before and after Oslo, the different agreements and peace proposals they negotiated, and their rhetoric, the book shows that these peacemakers retained an inherent ambivalence toward the peace process and one another. This prevented them and their constituents from committing to the process and achieving a lasting peace.
This unique survey shows how the people who drive the peace process can not only undermine it, but also prevent its successful conclusion. By dealing with such an important aspect of negotiation, the book will foster a better understanding of the role of moderates and why peace processes may falter.
Budd, one of the founders of Fitchburg State University’s Center for Conflict Studies, is the author of Democratization, Development and the Patrimonial State in the Age of Globalization (Lexington Books, 2003) as well as many articles and book reviews.

A team of nine students volunteered their time following finals week to help with Hurricane Sandy disaster relief in the Freeport, NY area. The team is staying from December 10-15 and is partnering with Nazarene Disaster Relief and the Freeport Church of the Nazarene to assist in “mudding out houses” – cleaning up houses flooded during the hurricane so they can be repaired. ENC faculty and staff donated funds to assist the students in their trip; the college community also contributed a U-Haul of goods last month for the NDR warehouse in Bronx, NY.
