NEW BERLIN, Wis. (AP) – A Wisconsin woman has been making custom dolls to celebrate the diversity of children who aren’t well-represented in toy stores. Wisconsin Public Radio reports that former pediatric oncology social worker Amy Jandrisevits started her business, A Doll Like Me, four years ago after she was contacted by an acquaintance whose daughter had her leg amputated. The New Berlin mother was asked if she could make a doll that matched the girl’s appearance. The demand for Jandrisevits’ custom dolls immediately skyrocketed. She had 200 doll orders within two months of operating. Jandrisevits says you almost never see representations of children of color or children with disabilities on a store shelf. She says it’s important for children to have something to relate to because they often internalize…

DETROIT (AP) – During KISS’s iconic May 1975 concert at Cobo Hall that became the material for the band’s Alive! album, bassist Gene Simmons threw a towel into the audience, and 16-year-old Terry Pakulski, who was in the front row, snagged the souvenir. Since then, the Macomb County resident has added thousands of other pieces of KISS memorabilia, including guitar picks, casino chips, plates, golf balls, mugs, nutcrackers – and a KISS telephone that plays Rock and Roll All Nite when it rings. Pakulski saw the band at Little Caesars Arena – which marked the 69th time he’s attended a KISS concert. The band announced the tour, dubbed the “End of the Road World Tour,” would be its last. Pakulski said he became a fan of the band before they…
