In the wake of the mass school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that left 28 dead, 20 of whom were children, local school system officials found themselves shaken by the horrific news.
Though the shooting occurred nearly 1,000 miles away, it's a tragedy that hits home for any parent, child, school-affiliated employee, and American.
Floyd County and Rome City officials said they feel unexplainable grief for the families affected by the shooting and are taking a close look at their own emergency procedures.
"It's just a terrible tragedy for someone to go into a school and kill students," said Lucian Harris, interim superintendent for Rome City Schools. "My heart goes out to the parents."
Harris said the school system does have an emergency procedure in the event that a gunman would walk through the doors.
"We have a lock down procedure," he said. "If we have any indication that someone is angry and might do something like this, the
principals have been told to lock the doors of schools."
But the faculty at Sandy Hook had no warning. Harris said that it's protocol for any school visitors to check in at the front offices.
In the event that someone armed sporadically went into a Rome City Schools building with the intention to kill students and teachers, Harris said the faculty would do what they could to make sure the students and themselves were safe to the best of their abilities.
"We would have to do exactly what the teachers are doing in Connecticut, get students to a secure location, calling 911 and trying to get as much help from police and fire and emergency people," he said. "You have no knowledge that something like this could happen, but you have to prepare for it because something like this could happen everywhere."
He said he is going to take a very close look at the school system's emergency procedures and meet with faculty members as soon as possible to discuss the tragedy and what they can do to prepare for such a crime.
"Hopefully we won't have anything like this in Rome, Ga., but we need to talk about it and be as prepared as possible," Harris said. "I just think that, we pray nothing like this would happen, but at the same time, as an administrative group, when we come back together (from the holiday break), I am going to meet with them and we're just going to review and talk about our lockdown procedures. I pray to God we don't ever have anything like this in our school system."
Floyd County Schools Superintendent Jeff McDaniel said the tragedy was at the top of the prayer lists of system members all day on Friday and will continue to be so in the weeks and months to come.
"I don't think I ran into anyone who wasn't shaken by it today," he said. "I know our parents are concerned, and our schools will be there to assist the students."
McDaniel said that school counselors will be ready and prepared to help any student who may feel as though he or she needs to talk about the shooting. He encouraged parents who believe their child may need to talk to a counselor to send a note with the student to school on Monday morning.
He also sent out a letter to parents with helpful tips about how to keep children calm who may be upset by the news.
McDaniel said the school's security procedures are reviewed each year, and they actively practice with students and teachers.
"We don't just put those things on paper and file them away," McDaniel said. "We practice them and drill our teachers on what to do."
He said the systems team up with trained professionals such as local law enforcement and other emergency officials to ensure the plans are the best they could be for the students' safety.
Meanwhile, he said that the Floyd County Schools system would continue to send their sympathies toward Newtown, Conn.
"We want our community to know and Connecticut to know that we're going to have them in our thoughts and prayers," McDaniel said.
Tim Hensley, assistant to the superintendent, said while the school system feels prepared in case such a heinous crime should occur, they hope to never have to put them into effect.
"We continue to plan and drill for the unexpected, whether natural disasters or acts of violence," Hensley said. "We hope to never use those plans, but we know it is necessary to expect the unexpected and be prepared."
He said in school surveys, the feeling that Floyd County schools are a safe learning environment has consistently been the highest rated response to any question asked.
"We feel that is because we do prepare our staff and students," he said. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and the community of Newtown. This impacts more than just a school and those who lost loved ones, but everyone with children."
FLOYD COUNTY SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT's LETTER TO FAMILIES
Editor's note: The following message from Floyd County Schools Superintendent Jeff McDaniel was emailed to Floyd County families Friday afternoon following the school shooting incident in Newtown, Conn.:
Message to Floyd County families,
By now, I am sure you have heard about the tragic school shooting that occurred today at an elementary school in Connecticut. No doubt there will be extensive coverage of this on the news and much discussion about it in our communities in the coming days.
I want to assure you that safety of our students is our top priority and that our schools have a comprehensive crisis plan in place to help avoid tragedies such as this. The plan is reviewed and updated annually. We ask you to please help by being our eyes and ears and assist us in any way you can to improve safety in our schools and our community.
I also want to share with you some tips from the National Association of School Psychologists for helping your children cope with news such as this.
What Parents Can Do:
1. Focus on your children over the week following the tragedy. Tell them you love them and everything will be okay. Try to help them understand what has happened, keeping in mind their developmental level.
2. Make time to talk with your children. Remember if you do not talk to your children about this incident someone else will. Take some time and determine what you wish to say.
3. Stay close to your children. Your physical presence will reassure them and give you the opportunity to monitor their reaction. Many children will want actual physical contact. Give plenty of hugs. Let them sit close to you, and make sure to take extra time at bedtime to cuddle and to reassure them that they are loved and safe.
4. Limit your child's television viewing of these events. If they must watch, watch with them for a brief time; then turn the set off. Don't sit mesmerized re-watching the same events over and over again.
5. Maintain a "normal" routine. To the extent possible stick to your family's normal routine for dinner, homework, chores, bedtime, etc., but don't be inflexible. Children may have a hard time concentrating on schoolwork or falling asleep at night.
6. Spend extra time reading or playing quiet games with your children before bed. These activities are calming, foster a sense of closeness and security, and reinforce a sense of normalcy. Spend more time tucking them in. Let them sleep with a light on if they ask for it.
7. Safeguard your children's physical health. Stress can take a physical toll on children as well as adults. Make sure your children get appropriate sleep, exercise, and nutrition.
8. Consider praying or thinking hopeful thoughts for the victims and their families. It may be a good time to take your children to your place of worship, write a poem, or draw a picture to help your child express their feelings and feel that they are somehow supporting the victims and their families.
9. Find out what resources your school has in place to help children cope. Most schools are likely to be open and often are a good place for children to regain a sense of normalcy. Being with their friends and teachers can help. Schools should also have a plan for making counseling available to children and adults who need it.
If you have concerns about your child's reaction to this news, please contact your school and request that your child talk with the school counselor.
As a parent, I am shaken by today's events, as I know you are. Please continue to keep the community of Newtown and the students, teachers and parents of Sandy Hook Elementary School in your thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks.
Dr. Jeff McDaniel
Floyd County Schools

We expect trouble-free operation from our vehicles, so does it make sense to buy an extended warranty for a new or used car?
The average new car costs over $25,000. With that cost, owners expect trouble-free operation and longer vehicle life. Many drivers consider an extended warranty plan to protect their investment.
Extended warranties have been called "health insurance for the engine." In fact, extended warranties are nothing more than extended service plans, similar to automobile insurance in many ways. You pay money up-front to avoid paying considerably more money at the time of the repair. As with insurance, you get what you pay for, and sometimes paying less means not getting the coverage you need.
There are a few things to consider before signing on the dotted line. If you drive more than 12,000 miles per year or plan to keep your vehicle for a long time, then an extended service plan might offer the kind of security you need.
There are three basic organizations that offer extended warranties: automobile manufacturers, new and used car dealerships, and independent companies or third parties. It is up to the consumer to decide which is best for his or her circumstance, but here are a few of the pros and cons of each provider:
ManufacturerPros: Factory-backed dealer repair network nationwide. No haggling about repair, price, or components.Cons: Highest upfront costs, and dealer network might be limited in your area.
DealerPros: Lower up-front cost: buy plan and service car at the same place.Cons: Usually only one service point. If they can't fix it, then who should you call?
IndependentPros: Lowest cost (usually between 30-50 percent less than manufacturer plans), most coverage choices, dealers, or local repair shops. Third-party warranty programs are usually their only business.Cons: Repair shop coverage might not be as promised. Some are "here today, gone tomorrow" companies.
Signs of a good plan:• Corporate credit card to pay for services• Ability to choose dealership or independent repair shop• Warranty is transferable• Trip-interruption coverage• Free loaner car• BBB certifiedSigns of a bad plan:• Out-of-pocket to cover repairs• Specific caps on repair costs• Large numbers of exclusions• Dealership pressure to purchase plan• Non-transferable• Company lacking strong track record of customer satisfaction
My rule on any contract is to read all the details. Assume you can't get out of the contract once you sign, so make sure you understand all the details.

Just when it seemed the whole silly "Volt fire" business had faded, just about every news outlet today is reporting on the Cruze recall due to fires, and just about all of them that I've read also mention the Volt in the same context.

Don't worry.
Recall announcements for fire risk issues in ICE vehicles happen almost weekly without much fanfare. Most of these are forgotten within a week.
Meanwhile Chrysler's and Fords are being recalled for stalling in the road. Stuff happens.

Toyota has a close to 1-million car recall for fires in the car doors.
Sometimes, I wish Ford would bring back the Pinto and show it to these guys how insignificant that issue was.
Like the Volt fire investigation, this is a Tempest in a teapot. There are no fire incidents in the wild. The fix is free, no parts need replacement, and the "recall" requires less than 30 minutes.
We have a Cruze LT that my son is driving, and we are very confident that he is safer than he would be if he were driving an older car. This is due to many things including that he is behind a phalanx of airbags.

Stuff happens. Honda is recalling the Civic because the driveshaft can separate.
We'll take our Cruze in. No big deal. The Cruze has been so reliable we've only gone in to swap summer/winters, and we do the oil change at the same time. This may require us to take the car in outside that window.
After nearly 40,000kms in our Cruze (12k original one totalled in accident, 28k in replacement) we can say the cars have been great. Fun to drive, great to own, great on gas, and everyone in the family loves it.
This will just pass and no one will even mention it come next week.

Comments On Jan 24, 2013:Bought this window for winter to keep from the cold and snow swirlling through the back. Using as a temporary until I can build my own cab, but for the price you can't beat this product. Easy to install, looks good, keeps alot of snow from coming in, and keeps heat in. Installed the tusk storage pack with this rear window and they both fit perfectly and look great. great buy for the price. It says to take on and off while transporting, but i have left it on with no problem.

Comments On Dec 13, 2012:This is a good idea without it the dirt and dust comes in from the back and gets in you eyes. Even had a fine mist of water suck in on us from the back without rear window on. A really good product heavy and well made.

Comments On Jan 22, 2012:I ordered this product for my 2011 RZR 800 not expecting much for the price I payed but ended up being thoroughly impressed. I kept the product inside to let it warm up and while that was happening I cleaned the plastic area with windex, and had no issues with the velcro sticking or the fit. I've only had it on my machine for a week, so I'm still not sure how durable it is.

Yes, another IG regiment! This will be my third custom regiment and I have been wanting to do several things this time around. 1) Scratch built vehicles 2) Bad guys 3) Artillery! After much study of SDKFZ, Tinners & Jacka I have been inspired to begin working on my own mostly scratch built vehicles. I purchased chimera sides and tracks along with a few accessories to help me along the scratch building process. I have some scratch built examples for right now, still WIP as I need to add rivets and illustrate their allegiance to Chaos.
The Guardsmen for this army are again unique. I will have some WIP shots later today hopefully. I am awaiting some heads from Pig Iron Productions and I will then get a shot of them up. They use Wargames Factory Shock Trooper bodies, Kolony Feral PIP heads and I've customized their lasguns somewhat.
To begin with: Griffon! - Still WIP, the Vox on the back will eventually have a spotter calling in positions. I need to add rivets, finish some parts with greenstuff and put some chaos twang on it.
My version of a Medusa: The barrel itself is made from the Manufactorum pipes taken from the scenery piece. Again need to finish with same as above and sand down some of the greenstuff.

Reviewed by Automotive on 1/31/2013
The Subaru Legacy only has one things going for it in the family sedan class, and that is the all-wheel drive system that comes standard. Other than this, the fuel economy is about average, and the performance is lackluster. While the design inside and out is attractive, the materials aren't especially impressive, and overall, this is just an alright vehicle. If all-wheel drive isn't important, drivers are likely to shop elsewhere.
Subaru's optional EyeSight is the biggest change for the 2013 Legacy. EyeSight is an active camera-based system that scans the area in front of the Legacy to let the car know if there are pedestrians in the path, a collision is imminent, or the car is about to depart its lane. The system can automatically apply the brakes in some situations if the driver does not respond to the initial audio warning.
The 2013 Subaru Legacy is a midsize sedan. The base 2.5i model comes with 16-inch steel wheels, automated headlights, a rear spoiler, and all-season tires. The 2.5i Premium trim adds 17-inch alloy wheels and body colored mirrors. Also available for the 2.5i Premium is an all-weather package, which adds a deicer to the windshield wipers. A sunroof can be ordered as a standalone option. The 2.5i Limited trim comes with all the standard features of cheaper models plus fog lights, the all-weather package, and options like the sunroof and rearview camera. The 3.6R models closely resemble the 2.5i.
The front and rear bumpers are colored the same as the body. The body color comes in eight options, which includes the unique caramel bronze pearl and deep indigo pearl paint jobs. Headlights are halogen, and all models come with privacy glass. The 3.6R comes with chrome trim, and the outside mirrors are heated.
There is a long list of exterior options, especially for the base model. These include bike racks, body side molding kits, tail pipe cover, and puddle lights. There are also body side molding kits, spoiler kits, and lip spoiler kits for each color option. Rear and front bumper appliques can be added, and so can a kayak or canoe storage system. Overall, the Subaru Legacy is both practical and beautiful, and with the options it allows for the outdoorsmen type to get around without a big truck or SUV.
The interior design for the 2013 Subaru Legacy is extremely attractive and sleek. Some of the materials aren't luxurious or soft to the touch, which may make it look a little underdeveloped when stacked next to competitors. Still the cloth seating is comforting, and the rear legroom is adequate. For front seats, there is bucket seating, and the rear features a split folding bench. All windows, locks, and mirrors are powered and easy to control.
Standard convenience includes cruise control, air conditioning, and interior air filtration. The base receives a four-speaker, AM/FM/CD radio system with an auxiliary jack and USB connection. The 2.5i Premium trim adds eight-way adjustable power seats, leather trim on the steering wheel, and an upgraded six-speaker audio system. The 2.5i Limited receives dual-zone automatic climate control, rear ventilation ducts, and wood trim. Also for the 2.5i Limited, the passenger seat gains four-way powered adjustments. The Limited comes with options for a navigation system, which includes a rearview camera and a touchscreen display. Unfortunately, the touchscreen is a bit unattractive and wonky to use.
Cargo space is only 14.7 cubic feet in the trunk, which is about normal for this size of vehicle. Interior options include sunshade, ashtrays, and auto-dimming mirrors. Also available is XM satellite radio, but this requires a subscription as well. The interior isn't overtly impressive, but it is more than adequate and rather comfortable.
The 2013 Subaru Legacy comes standard with the usual fare. This includes anti-lock brakes, braking assist, and stability and traction control systems. Additionally, tire pressure monitoring is included. The airbags include front side airbags and side curtain airbags, and the passenger seat has a sensor that deactivates the airbag if no one is present at the time of a collision.
The Limited trim gets some additional safety technology, which includes the optional EyeSight system. This EyeSight system includes adaptive cruise control, sway warning, lane departure warning, and pre-collision braking. It features two cameras placed in the edge of the front and rear windshields, and it can automatically apply the brakes in the event that a pedestrian is present and the driver doesn't take evasive action.
During crash testing conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Legacy received an overall score of ""Good,"" which is perfect. These tests concluded that roof strength, side impact strength, and frontal impact strength are excellent. Overall, the Subaru Legacy provides plenty of safety even on base models, and with the option of safety gadgets, the higher trim levels are even better.
The 2013 Subaru Legacy comes with two engine sizes. The base engine is a 2.5-liter, horizontally opposed, four-cylinder that produces 173 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. The standard transmission is a six-speed, manual that includes the hill-holder feature that keeps it from rolling backwards. A continuously variable transmission is also available, and this comes standard on the Premium and Limited trims.
Unfortunately, testing on acceleration shows that the Legacy is rather slow for a four-cylinder sedan. The vehicle reaches zero to 60 miles per hour in a pitiful 9.4 seconds. Regardless, it is the only family sedan that features all-wheel drive, and the continuously variable transmission receives an estimated fuel economy of 24/32 mpg city/highway.
For the 3.6R models, there is a 3.6-liter, six-cylinder engine that produces 256 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque. This comes with a five-speed, automatic transmission. Still, the performance is a bit slow, and with a reduced fuel economy of 18/25 mpg city/highway, the 3.6R is barely a better choice than the other trims. Overall, the Legacy's performance is only adequate. While the all-wheel drive makes rough terrain and weather more bearable, other cars in this class are much better under the hood.

These are gorgeous, sexy and so soft. They stay up well and don't pinch around your thighs. Fit is true to the size chart. I'm 5'2" and about 120lbs and the medium fit perfectly, although they do come up a lot higher on my short legs than they do on the model in the picture!

Hurricane Sandy
Stop FEMA Now's Growing Influence
The grassroots organization has its sites set on national attention.
From its humble beginnings - a few concerned residents sitting around a table in a small sub shop in Toms River - Stop FEMA Now, the grassroots organization opposed to the federal agency's flood maps, has grown and continues to attract crowds at meetings throughout the state. Now it's time for the second phase. Prior to a meeting in Atlantic City to discuss flood maps with residents of yet another county, Stop FEMA Now founder George Kasimos said the causes continues to grow. More and more residents continue to discover that their homes are now listed in FEMA's flood zones, he said, and now they're looking for answers. And ultimately, they're looking for a way to fight back. The group's Facebook page has grown from just a few hundred likes…

High Quality Childcare and Education
Kids Academy deliver high quality early years childcare and education in the UK and Middle East offering multi award-winning day nursery and preschool facilities with outstanding early years education for children aged 30 days to 5 years of age.
We are very proud of the Kids Academy childcare team and in recognition of this we have been awarded a number of national and international quality assurance awards including Investors in People, ISO9001 quality management, IOS14000 Environmental Management, ISO180001 Health and Safety and ISO27001 Information Security which all supplement our monthly nursery management systems to deliver high quality childcare around the world.
We believe that by delivering the highest standards of staff training and development through our Kids Academy Childcare staff training we can deliver to parents an outstanding early year's education to the children in our care.
British EYFS Curriculum
The British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum is implemented daily by our UK education experts to ensure we provide a high quality learning journey for your children. We abide by the UK's world recognised Governing body Ofsted's National Nursery standard to ensure key areas such as staff to child ratios are maintained at all times.
The new September 2012 EYFS Curriculum is implemented in all our Kids Academy Nurseries and now includes 7 areas of learning:
3 prime areas
- Physical
- Personal: social and emotional
- Communication and language
4 specific areas of learning
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Expressive art & design
- Knowledge and understanding of the world
Staff Ratios
The Government Children's Minister Liz Truss has announced radical plans to alter the adult to child ratios in a bid to lower childcare costs for Parents. The proposed changes are to take Babies and Toddlers to 1:4 and Early Learners to 1:6.
The new outlined changes have not been welcomed by the majority of childcare providers who see the amendments to the ratios as simply impossible to physically deliver and alarmingly dangerous to consider.
Kids Academy does not support these changes and we will not be implementing them as we believe it is fundamentally wrong to compromise high quality childcare by increasing the number of children our staff are able to care for in the lower age categories. We believe the Governments proposed initiative will create a two tier childcare system, comprising of first tier childcare settings dedicated to providing quality childcare and education continuing to operate on the current ratios and the second tier settings who will abide by the new ratios of more children which will be operationally challenging for childcare teams to deliver safely the same development outcomes.
Kids Academy staff to child ratio will remail as below:
Room Name | Staff Ratio |
Babies (30 days to 1 year) | 1:3 |
Toddlers (1 to 2 years) | 1:3 |
Early Learners (2 to 3 years) | 1:4 |
Preschool Reception 1 (3 to 4 years) | 1:8 |
Preschool Reception 2 (4 to 5 years) | 1:8 |
Here's what sue has to say
Since our incorporation nearly 15 years ago 'Supporting Parents, Nurturing children and Valuing Staff' has always been the Kids Academy childcare ethos. This statement has never been more apparent than it is today with the ever increasing complex needs, pressures demands and expectations on family life.
Each Kids Academy nursery and preschool is committed to supporting parents, nurturing children and valuing staff by delivering high quality childcare to suit the individual needs of children and their families under a structured framework of staff development and empowerment.
At Kids Academy we take pride in offering an outstanding education for your child and encourage you as parents to be actively involved, as together we will provide a holistic, fun approach to your child's early years education.
There really are no limits to learning opportunities at a Kids Academy nursery and preschool and by providing a safe, supportive, stimulating and fun environment to explore and discover the world, we help your children to grow and express themselves to their full potential.
Come and see what makes our childcare so special and book a visit to any of our nurseries in the UK.
We will be here to support you and wish you well as you embark on your journey to provide our children with one of the most important gifts a child can receive… an education.

Here are highlights of the Full Corn Moon of September 2013, including dates, times, best days, and folklore.
Full Moon Names
The Full Corn Moon corresponds with the time of harvesting corn. It is also called the Barley Moon, because it is the time to harvest and thresh the ripened barley.
This month, we also celebrate what we call a Harvest Moon, which is the full Moon nearest the autumnal equinox. It can occur in September or October and is bright enough to allow finishing all the harvest chores.
The Full Harvest Moon is different than all our other full Moons. Around this date, the Moon rises at almost the same time for a number of nights in our northern latitudes. Learn more in our article, "Shine On, Harvest Moon."
A harvest Moon!
And on the mats-
Shadows of pine boughs.
–Takarai Kikaku, Japanese poet (1661-1707)

Moon Facts & Folklore
- Usually the Moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, but around the time of the autumnal equinox, it rises only around 30 minutes in the United States—even less in Canada.
- Farmers can take advantage of the moonlight at this time of year and continue their day's work in harvesting crops.

There is probably not much anyone from Richmond County will agree on with their neighbors to the east.
After Scotland football coach Richard Bailey's comments following his team's performance Friday night, a number of Richmond residents will readily nod their head in agreement.
"In the NCAA, you always see the best teams have a game that really tests them and makes them see how tough they are," Bailey said to the Laurinburg Exchange. "Hoke was that game for us."
For members of the Raider Nation, replace Hoke with Lumberton in Bailey's statement and you get an idea of how things were for Richmond coach Paul Hoggard and his squad at Alton G. Brooks Stadium.
For nearly three quarters, the underdog Pirates were not only exchanging punches with the third-ranked team in the state, they were winning the bout. If an interception returned for a touchdown hadn't been called back because of a penalty, Lumberton may have been standing proud at the end of the game with its biggest victory in the series and perhaps school history.
However, just like Scotland did against Hoke, Richmond found a way to battle back in the final 13 minutes of the contest to pull out an important conference win.
Junior running back Diquon Cox became the focal point of the offense and rushed for a career-high 236 yards. Cox also found the end zone twice, including the go-ahead touchdown in the waning moments of the third quarter.
While Cox and Raider offense kept racking up yards, their counterparts on defense settled down against Lumberton's Wing-T offense. The Pirates had 148 yards of offense in the first half before being limited to 63 in the final 24 minutes.
During the week the Richmond defensive coaching staff preached to the players about maintaining their assignments and not get caught up with all the bells, whistles, smoke and mirrors that Lumberton throws at the opposition.
The Pirates kept pounding and chipping away at the Raider defense looking for an opening and it found two in the first half. Walker Fann was wide open on a 65-yard scoring pass from Jez Deese. After recovering a fumbled punt near midfield, Ahmad Smith broke free for a 41-yard run which led to a field goal and a 10-6 halftime lead.
Then the Raiders slammed the door on the Pirates.
Offensively, Lumberton would have finished the second half in red numbers if it wasn't for its final possession of the game, when Daniel Robinson rambled 55 yards to move the ball deep into Richmond territory before finishing out the drive with an 8-yard scamper for the final points.
Close contests like this don't make fans very happy when they expect to win by 28 points every night, but like Bailey said it proves how tough a team is when facing adversity.
And when it comes to the postseason, there will be more character-building games like this than blowouts.

Gentry Middle School's Drama Club is in the final stages of rehearsal for its ninth annual musical theater production.
This year the students will perform Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma." This year's production is unique because it will be directors Pam Parker's and Susan Gentry's last show as they have announced their retirement from teaching as well as the stage.
"We decided that we were going out with a bang," joked Parker after Thursday's dress rehearsal. "We're hoping to see full houses at all of these shows and then we're going to catch up on all the things we've put off for 30 years." She explained that both of them felt it was important to provide students an opportunity for theatre. They said much of the work by the drama club is extracurricular and by volunteers.
The two said they decided to make the production special by inviting all former drama club members to attend free as their guests. A special exhibit, named "Memory Lane" will feature videos, pictures and memorabilia from the past nine year's productions.
"We're hoping to see several of our former club members here, wearing one of their shot tee shirts," added Parker. The two said they are happy several former members have continued in drama by performing on stage at the Andy Griffith Playhouse, traveling with the Nonesuch Playmakers and performing at the Mount Airy Public Library with the Dewey Decimal Players. They said others have gone on to pursue musical theater at the college level.
"We are so proud of their accomplishments," said Gentry. Students cast in lead roles include Hannah Gates as Aunt Eller, Lucas McMillian as Curly McLain, Haley Keck as Laurey Williams, Jonathan Dalton as Jud Fry and Robert Parks as Will Parker. Other leads include Katherine Parsons as Ado Annie Carnes, Seth Hill as The Peddler, Rebecca Bowes as Gertie Cummings and Chris Smith as Andrew Carnes.
Other students named to the cast include Zeke Benge, Blake Smith, Nate Fitzgerald, Sydney Edwards, Brooke Bennett, AJessica Frost, Joelle Hall, Julianna Cooke, Destiny Martin, Emma Haynes, Angel Hicks, Arin Bunker, Anna Beth Flippen, Krystyn Haynes, Karleigh Badgett, Sydney Burcham, Marissa Mabe, Courtney Easter, Kelleigh Overby, Hannah Madel and Niclole McMillian.
Haley Keck, who will play Laurey Williams, has been involved in dramas in her sixth and seventh grade years. She has not always had a lead role.
"I like playing lead roles better," said Keck. "I wanted to do the part of Laurey because she is just so emotional and really goes through a range of emotions. I really wanted to have a chance to do that. I am really excited about the performances and look forward to it." Keck said besides enjoying the applause, acting has given her a chance to be someone different. She said she appreciates the opportunities to be so many other persons on stage.
Lucas McMillian, who plays Curly McLain, is also a veteran on the boards and has had other lead roles in plays including "Fiddler on the Roof."
"I really enjoy acting," said McMillian. "There's a lot to memorize but it is great to hear that applause. Sometimes I struggle with the lines or the accent but in the end I get it under control." He and other cast members interviewed said one of the hardest parts of this production was getting the accents correct and they have spent a lot of time on this.
Seth Hill said he found a lot about his character, The Peddler, that he likes. Hill has also been involved in three productions although he said he seems to have found a comfort zone in playing similar characters. He agreed with Keck and McMillian that it has been really hard to get the accent right for the production. He said he likes the fact the peddler is a traveler and sells so many things.
"He's a more kind type of person and everyone likes him…except he really doesn't want to get married," said Hill as he discussed his character's motivations. "He really hates Gertie's (Cummings) laugh but he winds up having to marry her anyway."
A dessert theater event has been slated for March 26 at 7 p.m. in the school gym. Ticket prices for adults are $6 and $4 for school children. Admission is free for preschool children. Parker and Gentry said the dessert for this event will include peach cobbler and a drink.
The club will also present the musical at Gentry Middle School at 1 p.m. on March 26 and 27. The final shows will be held at the Andy Griffith Playhouse on April 12 for local schools. The times for those shows are set for 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Persons interested in getting more information on the shows may call 786-4155.

Edmond, OK, United States | Member Since 2011
"Best Dystopian Novel Ever, Exceptional Narration"
I am not a sci-fi fan, but I read this book when it first came out in the '80s, and it was chilling (from a woman's point of view, at least). Looking back on it from the 21st century, it seems even more frightening, since the premise of the dystopian society -- the overthrow of the US government by murdering the president and all of congress by an EXTREME right-wing supposedly Christian group -- seems not so far-fetched as it once did.
The USA has been changed to Gilead. Pockets of resistance are still fighting against the group which has established a society where women are completely subjugated.
Any woman who is still fertile (after most of the world has been so contaminated that fertility is rare) is forced to become a Hand Maiden, assigned to one married male at a time solely for the purpose of bearing children to be raised by the father and his wife. The Gilead society is so repressive, and so brutal, that the Hand Maidens and almost all women are forced to become silent and internalize all thought.
Offred ("of-fred") reveals the minutiae and the indignities of her life in an almost anesthetized state. Claire Danes' narration fits the tone and atmosphere perfectly, detailing every day in an almost emotionless manner. This is an excellent book with exception narration. I recommend it to any and all readers, whether you are into sci-fi or not.
"This Series is Addictive!"
Because I have already read all of the In Death series that has been published, and read each new one as it comes out, I already knew it was addictive. So I pretty much had no choice but to get the Audible version of the 1st Eve Dallas book, then the 2nd, and now the 3rd! And I am already resigned to the fact that I will continue until I've listened to them all.
What makes them addictive? For me it's not the violence, or the sex scenes. It's not even really the romance. The mystery/police procedural aspect of the stories is part of what keeps me coming back for more. But the main draws in this series are 1) the characters and their evolving relationships, and 2) the imaginative details of the futuristic world which J.D. Robb has invented.
The author draws her characters so well, and gives them such human characteristics, that you end up really loving these folks and wanting to see them succeed, whether at personal relationships or at work, or at catching another despicable felon. And the development of relationships is the reason that you need to read them in the order they were published.
In Immortal in Death, Leonardo the fashion designer shows up, designs Eve's wedding dress, and becomes Mavis's main squeeze. Peabody loosens up a bit and has a short-lived entanglement with another cop. And at the end Eve and Roark get married in a glorious ceremony.
Of course, the most interesting character development is that of Eve Dallas, a woman who pretty much had to turn off all feeling just to survive to adulthood, who never felt love and doesn't know what to do with it, who as a child never saw an example of someone simply being kind and never had a friend. And now, at full adulthood, she starts to recognize that one really should try to at least be polite if not nice, because it makes people feel good, and makes things easier for her. She starts to recognize it, but she doesn't really know how to do it. Over the course of the books she slowly begins to catch on a little, and that's part of the fun of these books.
I'll keep coming back for my fix as long as this series continues.
"Adequate story, but hard to listen to."
I bought this book as a mystery, not as a romance, so I was happy to have the story pretty light on the romance side -- more a tantalizingly slow build up of romantic tension. The period detail was good, and the plot was interesting, although the author did sometimes telegraph what was going to happen next. I liked the characters, minor ones as well as major. I had a little trouble getting into it at the beginning, but I think that was because it started out sounding a lot like many a Victorian or Regency romance. Thank god it never developed into the bodice-ripper I was dreading. All in all, it turned out to be a satisfying story with an interesting ending.
My problem with this book was the narrator. At first, the voice itself bothered me because of a rather saccharine tone, but I got used to that and it fitted the story fairly well. This narrator did a fairly good job with different voices, but different accents did not come out well. One of the servants was supposed to be Scottish, but the accent used sounded so artificial, with words really stretched out of shape, that it was hard to listen to. Another character, said to be Italian, sounded more like a Scotsman. Also, in the course of delivering lines of dialogue being spoken by the upperclass British characters, every once in a while something slipped and a word or two came out not in the right accent because the pronunciation of the vowels had shifted.
But finally, the part of the performance that drove me wild and greatly detracted from my enjoyment of the story was the mispronunciations. It seems obvious to me that when a reader prepares to record an audio book, one of the obligations on that reader is to make sure that he or she knows how to pronounce every word in the text. This reader does not seem to have done that at all. I will grant you that I am not British, but I have listened to and watched a large number of performances of British books, movies and plays, and I believe that I have an ear for the pronunciation of most words, even when spoken by the English. For instance, I know that they do not pronounce "Viscount" as "Viss-count". And I suspect they do not pronounce "bibelot" as "bible-ott." There were many other similar examples in the recording of this book. The fact that the reader did not know how to pronounce the words was her failing. And the fact that the editor, assuming there was one, did not catch the mispronunciations was the failing of the company producing the book.
I would listen to another Lady Julia book, but not if it is read by the same narrator.
"Mission Accomplished!"
Once again, Mrs P sets off on what seems a fairly simple mission, only to be drawn into a very dangerous situation. In this case, she goes on a safari in Zambia with instructions to take photos of all her fellow tourists, which will be used to identify a hired assassin. She ends up being kidnapped by "freedom fighters " and then rescued by a band of loyalist guerrillas. (You must remember that the book was written in 1977, so that apartheid played a large role in the politics of that part of Africa at that time.)
And along the way through the wilds of jungle and plain, Mrs. Pollifax finds time to fall in love with a lovely, gentle man named Cyrus.
This book is the fifth in the Mrs. P series. The plot is as entertaining as ever, but is slightly more serious. While there are still lovely amusing moments, the situations depicted are less fanciful and more plausible than in the previous books.
As with the previous books, I cannot adequately describe the magnificence of Barbara Rosenblat's performance as narrator. If you know her from the Amelia Peabody books, you know that she is masterful with accents and voices. But I am amazed that she provides Mrs. Pollifax with a voice that is totally unlike any of the voices I have heard from her before: the perfect voice for a 60-ish widow lady from New Brunswick, NJ. She must be able to produce hundreds of distinct voices. I am in awe.
A totally wonderful experience.
"Top -Notch Story & Performance"
Elizabeth Peters can always be depended on to write an entertaining tongue in cheek adventure, containing mysteries, at least one murder, danger and wry commentary on the social mores of the day. In this 9th book in the Amelia Peabody series, she delivers one of her best!
The year is 1903. In the 3 years since the previous book, the Emersons' son, Ramses, and their adopted daughter, Nefret, have aged and grown. Ramses is 16 and is 6 feet tall, Nefret is 19 and has begun to take classes at a London medical school for women. Ramses and his friend David Todros have spent the summer with a sheik and his tribe and are consequently much more mature than the previous year.
The plot involves a search for the alleged murderer of a woman, led by the actual murderer; discovery of a tomb below the floor of the Valley of the Kings; a collapse of the tomb roof trapping Amelia; the saving of Amelia by Ramses; freeing an old friend from powerful delusions about an Egyptian princess; and Vandergelt's infatuation with and engagement to an Englishwoman involved in the princess delusions matter. Much of the last half of the tale creates a good deal of suspense and laughter.
I continue to be amazed by the astounding talents of narrator Barbara Rosenblat. She is, without doubt, the most versatile narrator I have encountered on Audible. The Amelia Peabody stories require not only a wide range of accents in both male and female voices. They require, and Rosenblat delivers superbly, the voice of one character, Ramses, aging from 4 and 5 to 8, 10, 13, and now 16, while remaining clearly recognizable as the same character. A real tour-de-force!
One of the best of this series.
"Phryne Triumphs Again"
When I first discovered the Phryne Fisher Mysteries, I loved the carefree and lighthearted atmosphere created by the author, Kerry Greenwood, and the narrator, Stephanie Daniel.
Death at Victoria Dock opens with Phryne's windshield shattering from gunfire, and her discovery of a wounded young man who dies in her arms. This beginning signals a Phryne Fisher adventure which is not so lighthearted as the rest.
In trying to solve the murder of the young man, Phryne becomes involved with Latvian anarchists (who apparently really were active in 1920's Australia), some of whom kidnap her secretary Dot. She takes an anarchist known as Peter Smith for her lover, and opposes the actions of the other anarchists, leading a plan which thwarts a planned bank robbery by the Latvians.
In the meantime, Phryne has taken on an investigation into the disappearance of a 14-year-old girl who is assumed by her father to have run away. The girl is in school with Phryne's adopted daughters, so they help with the investigation, which uncovers some unsavory goings-on within the girl's family. Needless to say, Phryne solves the mystery and recovers the girl.
All this is accomplished by Phryne with her usual aplomb, but not quite with the same elan as usual. I think this is probably because of the more serious crimes being dealt with. Even at a slightly less lighthearted level, this tale is fun and enjoyable, and even teaches a bit about Australian history. Stephanie Daniel does her customary extraordinary job of narration, giving life to Phryne, Dot, the girls, Bert and Cec, and all the other characters.
In addition, like the other Phryne Fisher audible books, there is the added bonus of a conversation between the author and the narrator, usually talking about where Greenwood got her ideas for the plot of that particular book, and the historical basis for those ideas.
Once again, I highly recommend the Phryne Fisher books to those who like a mystery which is lighthearted, not too violent, and not too graphic in the lovemaiking department.
"Dallas and Roark Proceed"
In this second In Death story, Eve's relationship with Roark deepens, both personally and professionally. Two prominent women have had their throats cut, and they both have ties to Roark, which creates friction in the personal relationship. Needless to say that problem gets solved, and Eve successfully corners the killer, a man who harbors hatred for women with power and fame. There's a great suspense ending involving a knife fight in the dark. Since this is a series, you know that Dallas and Roark will always come out top, but J.D. Robb makes each adventure different enough, and exciting enough, to keep the reader interested.
As other have suggested, it is a good idea to read at least the first several books in the order of publication, in order to follow the progression of Eve and Roark's relationship, and to follow the appearance of new continuing characters in the series and their gradual progression through the ranks. For instance, this book marks the first appearance of Delia Peabody, Eve's future partner in the Homicide Detective Division, as a uniformed officer at one of the crime scenes.
I like Robb's invented future and the history behind it. And I especially like Susan Ericksen's narration. Excellent!
"Delightful, As Usual"
A Palm for Mrs. Pollifax provides another delightful adventure for that most unlikely of spies, Mrs. Emily Pollifax. In her fourth mission for Carstairs of the CIA, the middle-aged widow from suburban New Jersey goes to a Swiss luxury clinic/resort in search of stolen plutonium believed to be in the area. At the spa, she encounters a large cast of widely varied characters, some good and some bad.
Not surprisingly in a Mrs. Pollifax story, a number of things go wrong with Mrs. P's mission. She must overcome adversity with the help of several of her new acquaintances in order to complete the mission and she triumphs in the end. While the skeleton of the plot may seem to be rather bland and dull, Dorothy Gilman peoples her books with such wonderful characters that the stories are interesting and charming.
As usual, Barbara Rosenblat gives an excellent performance as narrator.
"Another Excellent Pitt/Charlotte Story"
"Midnight at Marble Arch" continues the improvement to the Pitt/Charlotte series which began in "Dorchester Terrace," in which the stories involving Pitt's career with Special Branch finally matched the quality of the novels concerning Pitt as a policeman. I think what made this book so enjoyable for me was the fact that Pitt's involvement in a series of crimes was not primarily in his role as Commander of Special Branch. Instead, he participated in the investigation clandestinely, outside of Special Branch. And the best thing about this book, for me, was that the crime was solved by the team of Pitt, Charlotte, Pitt's former boss Narraway (now Lord Narraway), and my favorite Perry character, Lady Vespasia Cumming-Gould.
Perry once again offers an intricate plot, involving several quite vicious rapes which may or may not be connected. The investigating characters spend a great deal of time and effort trying to figure out who, how, when and why, with the answers coming at the eleventh hour. But, as with most Perry novels, the ending is a just one even if not the happiest one. And I must say that the ending of the crime story involves one of Perry's best scenes of violent suspense.
My favorite characteristic of the Pitt/Charlotte books is the very well-researched and presented depiction of the place of upper-class women in the Victorian culture of England, and the restrictions and responsibilities placed upon them. In Midnight at Marble Arch, it is made quite clear that being raped may be the end of a Victorian woman's reputation and marriage prospects in life, so that even more than today women (or their fathers or husbands, who had all the power) refused to report such crimes and those women then had to try to live a normal life while hiding the terrific trauma of rape. They often could not live with it and committed suicide.
The final lovely development in the book is that Lady Vespasia and Lord Narraway are beginning to be quite fond of each other, and a loving relationship seems to be in offing.
"A Cozy about a Cozy Writer"
Published in 2008, Death of a Cozy Writer is the first in a series featuring Detective Chief Inspector St. Just. All of the elements of a classic golden age mystery are present: a large country mansion, a gathering of all the members of a wealthy family, servants with varying degrees of loyalty to their employers, seething rancor and hatred among family members, a patriarch who is cruel and hatedul to all, and finally, murder. DCI St. Just and his Constable arrive toi nvestigate.
This is a well -written mystery, with well developed characters, an intriguing twist or two in the plot, and the atmosphere of a golden age detective story spiced by a few 21st century devices. In St. Just, Malliet has created a likeable and capable investigator with a sense of humor as well as common sense. All in all, a very enjoyable read, although I must say that I prefer Malliet's other series, the Max Tudor mysteries.
"An Excellent Installment in the Series"
The Retribution is the 7th book in the Tony Hill/Carol Jordan series, and to my mind is one of the best. Other reviewers have lamented the "rehashed plot," bringing back Jacko Vance, a truly diabolical killer from "Wire in the Blood," the second book in the series. If you have not yet read "Wire In the Blood," I suggest you do so before reading this book. It's not that you can't follow the plot or enjoy The Retribution without knowing Wire In the Blood. It's just that you will more fully experience the horror, tension and suspense if you have already read the first book with Jacko Vance as villain.
As can be expected, Jacko's revenge on the people "responsible" for ruining his life by putting him in jail or for other perceived wrongs is cruel and often indirect, inflicted on the people closest to the people at whom his revenge is aimed. As a result of that indirect revenge, and the means used to accomplish it, I found this book to be intense, full of suspense, often frightening, and very emotional.
The vengeance wreaked by Vance creates situations which damage the Hill/Jordan relationship even further than before, and other suffer needlessly. Some people have found the ending quite sad. However, given the fact that another book in this series is scheduled to come out this fall, I believe that the ending is not nearly as permanent as it seems.
I look forward to reading more of this series.

If you're like me, you have been following the debate over the so-called fiscal cliff with a sort of low-grade headache. With so many variables, it's hard to keep all the possible outcomes straight.
The Tax Policy Center, a joint venture of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution, has taken a crack at helping individual taxpayers evaluate how various options would affect their overall federal tax burden, including both payroll taxes and income taxes, next year. The center has created a set of calculators that allows you to compare the total tax liability for different sorts of taxpayers in 2013, based on four scenarios. (Wonk warning: The calculator was created by tax policy mavens, so it contains a great deal of detail, perhaps a bit too much for a casual user.)
Still, if you 're interested in what might result, or not, from the negotiations in Washington, here are the four tax policy scenarios presented in the tool. The calculator doesn't reflect the latest proposal made by House Republicans because it lacked sufficient detail about tax rates to model, said Roberton Williams, senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center:
1) 2012 tax law (with an alternative-minimum-tax patch, to limit the number of taxpayers affected by the tax). This is what you'd pay if Congress continued the tax policy in place this year, with an A.M.T. patch, for 2013 income.
2) 2013 tax law. This is what you would pay for all of next year if Congress doesn't act.
3) The Senate Democratic plan, which would extend the expiring Bush-era income tax cuts for a year for all except the top 2 percent of taxpayers. It would extend the credits originally enacted by President Obama in 2009, but allow the temporary payroll tax cut to expire.
4) The Senate Republican plan, which would extend the Bush-era income tax cuts for everyone but would allow the 2009 credits and the temporary payroll tax cut to expire.
The site offers examples for six basic taxpayer scenarios (single with no children, married with two children under 13, etc.) that you can further tweak with your own information.
Among the various assumptions built into the calculator is that both the employer and employee shares of the payroll tax — the taxes that fund Social Security and Medicare — are assigned to the worker. A note explains, "Economists believe that the employer's share of the tax is actually borne by the worker in the form of lower wages and therefore the tax calculator assigns both employer and employee shares of the tax to the worker."
To look at just one example, the calculator shows that a single filer with no children and adjusted gross income of $18,600 would have a total tax liability (including payroll and income taxes) that is $802 higher under the 2013 scenario if Congress fails to act, than under the scenario of continuing the 2012 tax laws with an A.M.T. patch.
The total liability for the same taxpayer, under either the Senate Republican plan or the Senate Democratic plan, would be $372 higher than the patched 2012 scenario, according to the calculator.
Put another way, the taxpayer's liability would be $430 higher under the 2013 scenario of Congress failing to act, than under either of the Senate plans.
Try out the calculators yourself. Did it help your headache, or did you still have to resort to ibuprofen?

Brecksville Bomb Plot Suspects' Police Records Show a Trail of Crime
At least three of the men are not strangers to law enforcement agencies in Northeast Ohio.
Several of the men arrested in connection with the suspected plot to blow up a Brecksville bridge have faced criminal charges before, including one juvenile charge of aggravated attempted murder. Douglas L. Wright, 26, Brandon L. Baxter, 20, Anthony Hayne, 35, Connor C. Stevens, 20, and Joshua S.
