There are far less lively ways to spend a night at the movies.
Owen Gleiberman - Entertainment Weekly
This grunge match is far more horrible than horrifying.
Elvis Mitchell - New York Times
Though not exactly John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, star-power marquee teaming is about all Freddy vs. Jason has.
Mike Clark - USA Today
This corpse defies reanimation.
Paul Farhi - Washington Post
A script was wanting for years, and still is.
Richard Harrington - Washington Post
Deeply, proudly unimaginative.
Wesley Morris - Boston Globe
Screenwriters Damian Shannon and Mark Swift don't try all that hard to meld the respective series ... and director Ronny Yu's efforts to generate visual interest ... are overfamiliar as every other slasher trope.
Mark Holcomb - Village Voice
Though a stickler might ask what's at stake in a fight to the death between two guys who are already dead, the hard-core fans aren't likely to be disappointed.
Jack Mathews - New York Daily News
Nicely balancing mayhem and mirth, Yu keeps his film kicking. The action is lovingly lurid, and the laughs keep coming.
Bruce Westbrook - Houston Chronicle
A goofy but occasionally fun novelty that's more enjoyable than it has any right to be.
Gary Dowell - Dallas Morning News
The website is more entertaining than the movie.
Lisa Kennedy - Denver Post
Freddy vs. Jason succeeds as a guilty pleasure.
Robert K. Elder - Chicago Tribune
Director Ronny Yu loses energy when it shifts to the dumb teen protagonists, and the script faithfully wallows in cliches so ridiculous they border on Scary Movie territory.
Brian Thomas - Chicago Reader
A tediously ghastly genre pic.
Steven Rea - Philadelphia Inquirer
Pitting the bad guys against each other merely recycles all the shtick we've seen before.
Colin Covert - Minneapolis Star Tribune
It's bloody, it's loud, it's gratuitous, and it's ridiculous. Sweet.
Tom Long - Detroit News
Once the novelty wears off, the latest movie feels just like every other -- an unrepentant gorefest with little personality or flavor.
Bill Muller - Arizona Republic
It's more marketing concept than aesthetic, and problems inherent in both series -- like the fact the villains are indestructible -- are only multiplied.
Andy Klein - Variety
Despite oblique references to Psycho and Children of the Corn, Freddy vs. Jason lacks the knowing wit needed to keep it afloat in an age when even the horror spoofs have been spoofed.
Megan Lehmann - New York Post
Unlike, say, the Scream movies, which playfully tweaked the conventions of the slasher sub-genre, the new film tends to serve them up '80s-style -- straight and bloody.
Jay Boyar - Orlando Sentinel
Only masochists need contemplate laying down good money on this atrocity.
Peter Howell - Toronto Star
Too much chatting, not enough chills.
Jennie Punter - Globe and Mail
Good concept, mediocre execution.
James Berardinelli - ReelViews
Witless, excessive and ultimately boring gore-a-thon.
Michael Rechtshaffen - Hollywood Reporter
It is downright depressing to think about all that vigorous cinematic artistry and expertise aimed so low.
Kevin Thomas - Los Angeles Times
Scary, gory, nightmare-inducing slasher.
Nell Minow - Common Sense Media
Wes Craven and Sean Cunningham would be proud!
Felix Vasquez Jr. - Cinema Crazed
it's safe to say the best work of these bad boys is decidedly behind them.
Urban Cinefile Critics - Urban Cinefile
[A] true return to form for the slasher genre ...
Lucius Gore - ESplatter
It's a cleverly wrapped gift to me and every horror fan like me, and I feel nothing but affection for it.
Rob Gonsalves - eFilmCritic.com
A fine post-scream Freddy romp
Stefan Birgir Stefansson - sbs.is
With Jason and Freddy at war over the souls of children, this great send-up of the genre is extremely fun and is faithful to the characterizations long-established for these villains.
Wesley Lovell - Oscar Guy
Wesley Lovell - Cinema Sight
Freddy vs. Jason is a pretty awful Nightmare film, but only a mediocre F13 film.
Tim Brayton - Antagony & Ecstasy
Dull blades. Saddles audiences with a buckets-of-blood mentality that deadens the spirit and drowns the film.
Christopher Smith - Bangor Daily News (Maine)
Freddy and Jason could use some new blood.
Joe Lozito - Big Picture Big Sound
It's pretty obvious where director Ronnie Yu's sympathies lie. Still, he can't find a satisfactory resolution to that old teaser about an implacable force vs the immovable object: how to kill off your cash cow and milk her too.
Dean Essner - Time Out
The whole is greater than the sum of Freddy and Jason's crumbled limbs.
David Grove - Film Threat
Dean Essner - Bullz-Eye.com
There is enough hacking, slashing, blood, and guts for three more Jason movies in this battle.
Bill Clark - FromTheBalcony
L'utilisation presque exageree de la violence rehausse la qualite du film et l'ensemble est tellement mauvais qu'il en devient bon.
Louis-Jerome Cloutier - Panorama
Exists in a place beyond criticism. It hasn't got a plot to speak of, or characters; like the recent Rollerball remake, it in many ways verges on the experimental.
Jake Euker - F5 (Wichita, KS)
The gory money shots and the big brawl are the only real entertainment - although the effective one-liner occasionally pops up to keep you laughing in between decapitations.
Brian Mckay - eFilmCritic.com
Let the great, dumb, pointless debate rage on.
Austin O'Connor - Lowell Sun
Paul Sherman - Boston Herald
the usual assortment of harried kids, hopeless cops, inadequate parents, creepy dream sequences and highly creative murders
Anton Bitel - Movie Gazette
Dean Essner - Sunday Times (Australia)
Susan Tavernetti - Palo Alto Weekly
It may not be an all-time classic, but it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp blade/finger.
Sacha Molitorisz - Sydney Morning Herald
"Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Friday the 13th" fans... you are going to LOVE this one...
David Foucher - EDGE Boston
Their final showdown will probably please fans, but everyone else will be wondering whether those 10 years couldn't have been more profitably spent.
Brooke Holgerson - Boston Phoenix
Played for laughs, the two horror icons have been castrated. No longer scary, they're like a Las Vegas lounge act, sandwiched somewhere between Celine Dion and Debbie Reynolds on the strip.
Blake Davis - KFOR Channel 4 News
Get your freaks on.
Kevin A. Ranson - MovieCrypt.com
Misses the chance of actually being a good movie, but it feels energetic and colourful.
Ian Waldron-Mantgani - UK Critic
Anyone at a fan convention will tell you that Freddy vs. Jason had the potential to be a horror classic; unfortunately it's ended up as just another slasher flick.
Josh Bell - Las Vegas Weekly
...[a] chintzy chill session...what you're gaining are front row seats to a couple of carousing combatants whose streaky cynicism are too watered down for us to care
Frank Ochieng - Movie Eye
It's completely daft, and the one-liners are by now just plain cheesy, but there's a good deal of gore to keep the faithful amused, if not completely happy.
Kim Newman - Empire Magazine
With two unkillable foes, this battle feels superfluous. There are a few clever moves, but this fight is simple slice-and-dice.
Gerry Shamray - Sun Newspapers of Cleveland
Garth Franklin - Dark Horizons
A little less Cliffs notes in the first half, a few more inventive battle scenes between our two heroes, and it might have been something really memorable.
Michael W. Phillips, Jr. - Goatdog's Movies
Those steeped in the mythology of Freddy and Jason will likely get a kick out of this match-up.
James Kendrick - Q Network Film Desk
At the rowdy preview I attended, Jason emerged as the crowd favorite. Apparently, moviegoers identify more closely with a mute overgrown child-brute than with a smart-alecky child-killer.
John Beifuss - Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
On its own "10 years past expiration date" level, it's good fun.
Mark Palermo - Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)
If you're into that sort of thing, see it.
Eric Lurio - Greenwich Village Gazette
Freddy Vs. Jason is a horror film for people who don't necessarily hate the genre in general but find themselves frustrated and disappointed by it more often than not.
Mark Dujsik - Mark Reviews Movies
The biggest surprise about Freddy vs. Jason is that it's just plain boring.
Sarah Chauncey - Reel.com
[Can] one... actually tell the difference between a slasher flick that's intentionally parodying the genre and one that's just so steeped clichés that it's laughable[?]
MaryAnn Johanson - Flick Filosopher
Even if the sum is more than its parts, this is a refreshingly winning entry into two franchises that have been dry for far too long.
Brian Orndorf - Modamag.com
Who cares?
Susan Granger - www.susangranger.com
That the anti-climactic finish was withheld from advance reviewers to save the surprise is short for It's really, really stupid.
Nick Rogers - State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL)
If you can convince a theatre manager or lowly high school corn monkey to let you into the final half hour...for a few bucks, you won't be disappointed. But that's the only part worth seeing.
Ryan Cracknell - Movie Views
Will satisfy the hordes who've awaited this heavyweight matchup for a decade.
Bob Campbell - Newark Star-Ledger
If you like this sort of thing, this is just the sort of thing you'll like -- even if it's finally a lot less terrifying than Dakota Fanning in Uptown Girls.
Ken Hanke - Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
New Line's smartest move was letting Ronny Yu direct.
John Monaghan - Detroit Free Press
Horror-ifically bad.
Shawn Bowers - Kansas City Star
The frights, the archetypes, even the predictability of it all is predictable, leaving behind a dull, brainless novelty that makes more sense as a TV sweeps stunt.
Aaron Hillis - Premiere Magazine
Thank goodness (or thank the devil?) for the fanboy novelty of this long-anticipated sequel/crossover of the two most popular icons of '80s-era horror movies, for that's about all Ronny Yu's film has to coast on.
Michael Dequina - TheMovieReport.com
Looks like these two cut-ups are going to be around for a while.
Linda Cook - Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
For most moviegoers, Freddy vs. Jason will be entirely unwatchable. And yet, it's probably the best slasher movie made since the genre's heyday.
Ethan Alter - Film Journal International
A film that is proficient with its action, cheeky with its humor, and a story that knows the rules and movie logic of horror. Why doesn't Freddy vs. Jason satisfy the critics?
Jimmy O - Film Snobs
A solid, entertaining bloodbath that will appease most fans of the genre.
Andrew Manning - Radio Free Entertainment
In the battle between Freddy and Jason, it's the audience who loses.
Mike McGranaghan - Aisle Seat
More than anything else, Freddy vs. Jason is an opportunity to wear that black tee shirt I save for special occasions like Marilyn Manson listening parties and skirmishes with the law.
Mark Ramsey - MovieJuice!
Sure the film marks the downfall of cultured civilization as we know it-let's face it, we're a hop, skip and decapitation away from brutally live Gladiatorial combats-but at least we're going down in style
Mike Sage - Peterborough This Week
Director Ronnie Yu knows exactly what's expected of him; he keeps the blood flowing and doesn't dawdle over the holes in the plot.
Jim Lane - Sacramento News & Review
If you must make a movie combining two series at which most people would turn up their noses, make it right for the people who wouldn't ... I think they made it right.
Jeffrey Chen - Window to the Movies
Applying 'criticism' to 'Freddy vs. Jason' isn't just tedious - it's pointless.
Jonathan R. Perry - Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas)
This film was stupid, violent, gory, and just plain bad (and I kinda liked it).
Danny Minton - KBTV-NBC (Beaumont, TX)
Freddy vs. Jason is absolutely critic-proof: firewalled, fortified and dug in like an Alabama tick.
Rob Vaux - Flipside Movie Emporium
If you ever saw and enjoyed a Freddy or Jason film, this should be a bloody, grotesque delight.
Eric D. Snider - EricDSnider.com
Horror connoisseurs should consider this one a draw.
Marrit Ingman - Austin Chronicle
Freddy tends to the laughs, Jason takes care of the body count, and the result is great fun!
John Venable - Supercala.com
Maybe I missed out on the keg party that took place before our screening, but this flick's appeal was lost on me. I was terribly disappointed.
Paul Salfen - Supercala.com
A feast for hardcore fans of either character, and likely to bring a new generation of gorehounds into the fold.
Ray Greene - Boxoffice Magazine
A tortured, ludicrous storyline brings the two figures together...
Josh Larsen - Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)
Dean Essner - Baltimore Sun
After more than a decade of brainstorming, here's what New Line has: Freddy and Jason stage a contest to see who can kill the most teenagers. Jason surges ahead, Freddy gets jealous, so they go at each other. The end.
Gary Thompson - Philadelphia Daily News
it's an unsatisfying fight, since Krueger has to compete in a higher weight class and at a lower intellectual level than his hockey-mask-wearing opponent.
Sean Means - Salt Lake Tribune
Reflecting on nude scenes of the '80s entries...there was a lot less silicone back then.The two in Freddy Vs. Jason,while lovely,look like extras from nip/tuck.
Fred Topel - About.com
Bringing the two together means a dumbing-down of Freddy and a bit of a sophisticated elevation of Jason, and the mix is kind of discordant.
Michael Szymanski - Zap2it.com
A film with virtually no plot, no humor and no acting talent.
Jackie Loohauis - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Sure, it seems ridiculous. And outlandish. And maybe even silly. But it works.
Susan Michals - FilmStew.com
A far-better-than-expected, late summer thrill ride...Better than any of the other ten Friday the 13th movies, and places in the upper half of the previous seven-parted Nightmare on Elm Street series.
Dustin Putman - DustinPutman.com
The expression 'bloody bore' takes on a new, deeper meaning with Freddy Vs. Jason.
Joe Baltake - Sacramento Bee
prototypical teen slasher fare, with ultra-gory deaths, overwrought performances and even some gratuitous T&A: Were it not for a Columbine reference and a half-baked rave, you might guess this was actually made 20 years ago.
James Sanford - James Sanford on Film
Takes itself much too seriously and wastes several opportunities for dark-comic bits.
Jeff Vice - Deseret News, Salt Lake City
A battle royal so cheesily ludicrous that it ends literally with a wink.
Lawrence Toppman - Charlotte Observer
It's a Nightmare on Elm Street movie as badly written and performed as a Friday the 13th movie.
Jeffrey Westhoff - Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
Freddy vs. Jason has a fun, junky spirit to it that is compulsively watchable and when looked at in the right frame of mind, it is a surprisingly satisfying experience.
Peter Sobczynski - Critic Doctor
Seeing the two horror icons come together for an ultimate showdown is definitely fun to watch, but the outcome of the most-hyped villainous face-off ever proves to be a bit of a letdown.
Guylaine Cadorette - Hollywood.com
Despite the slow spots, there's a sense of fun, which goes into overdrive when the big fight starts.
Loey Lockerby - Kansas City Star
Huge, super-gory, cash-grabbing, badly written, highly stupid crap.
Liz Braun - Jam! Movies
A formulaic hodge-podge that trades on a certain demographic's affection for the bogeymen of their formative years.
Maitland McDonagh - TV Guide's Movie Guide
Anyone weaned on these movies -- which is to say, pretty much anyone who grew up during the 1980s and 1990s -- will get a kick out of seeing how those two universes, with all their respective tropes and rules, have been melded.
Rene Rodriguez - Miami Herald
One big joke.
Bob Strauss - Los Angeles Daily News
Has doses of irreverent humor and a few inventive ways of slicing and dicing victims.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) - St. Paul Pioneer Press
Call it nostalgia, but there's something strangely entertaining, even comforting, about these movies.
Jeffrey M. Anderson - Combustible Celluloid
What's on view here is usually less than the sum of its parts.
Steve Schneider - Orlando Weekly
Considering what the filmmakers had to work with, and the fact that it has all been done before, Freddy Vs. Jason isn't bad.
Mick LaSalle - San Francisco Chronicle
Who wins? Without telling, I can say it's almost irrelevant. Buy a ticket and you lose.
Mark Rahner - Seattle Times
When the dust settles in the final battle of Freddy vs. Jason, it's the audience that loses.
Staci Layne Wilson - Fantastica Daily
You'll cringe in horror at the stinkfest on screen.
Jerry McCormick - San Diego Union-Tribune
Unfortunately, I have to ask: Did it really take ten years to come up with this?
Audrey Rock-Richardson - Tooele Transcript-Bulletin (Utah)
Devoid of any horror resonance, the movie treats death the way porn movies treat sex, as a subject to be exploited.
Robert Denerstein - Denver Rocky Mountain News
Monster-on-monster horror flick is a gory, goofy guilty pleasure far better than the money-mongering idea behind it suggests.
James Rocchi - Netflix
I expected more humor, more fun, more action and ultimately, more scares and terror between the two big guys.
JoBlo - JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Ronny Yu brings some cool visuals into the mix and Robert Englund's Freddy one-liners work at times, but the clunky script and action is more laughable than frightening.
Dean Essner - E! Online
The film is like its predecessors, assuming the teens' point of view -- wary, fearful, rowdy, and stubbornly hopeful in the face of all contrary circumstances.
Cynthia Fuchs - Nitrate Online
Freddy vs Jason is a hoot and a howl but don't expect a rematch.
Louis B. Hobson - Jam! Movies
It's stupid and slightly insulting to those with more than two brain cells to rub together, but don't tell that to the untold thousands who've been waiting to see this movie for the last seven years.
James Hill - BET.com
Wittier than your average horror movie, smarter than your average horror movie, and much stranger than your average horror movie.
Eugene Novikov - Film Blather
Other than Freddy, there are no memorable performances, just interchangeable busty, pouty-lipped girls and drunk high school guys who scream and run and get gutted like fish.
Nell Minow - Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Fans of the two series will laugh, because the genre is so squarely skewered. Others will wonder what the big deal is, having seen King Kong vs. Godzilla, Mothra vs. Rodan and any number of sitcom weddings.
John Anderson - Newsday
Just a slam-bang succession of gross-out mutilations, played for giggles.
William Arnold - Seattle Post-Intelligencer
...people are cut in two, heads severed off and body parts go flying like a steak dinner at your near-by Benni-Hanna's.
Tony Toscano - Talking Pictures (U.S.)
The best bits do eventually overshadow the interminable slow spots, and I'd certainly never be one to dissuade the faithful from seeing these two immortals duke it out on the big screen.
Scott Weinberg - eFilmCritic.com
One of the few class lines is delivered by a stoner: "That goalie was pissed about something". No doubt that's how fans will be feeling after seeing this.
Annette Dasey - Teletext
The fight is really cool when it finally comes, but it takes an hour and change to get through the undercards.
Phil Villarreal - Arizona Daily Star
While the filmmakers send up the genre's cliches and expected audience empathy with the villains, it still feels like the ludicrous dialogue and one-dimensional characterizations were written by teenagers.
Bryan Reesman - Citysearch
Does a decent job of making like the 1980s never ended.
Scott Foundas - L.A. Weekly
A horror fan's wet bloodfest with an outrageous story line and plenty of laughs.
Bob Longino - Atlanta Journal-Constitution
For the first time since Scream, the slasher genre shows signs of life (was that in poor taste?).
Rob Blackwelder - SPLICEDWire
a showdown that's like an extreme WWF smackdown for the ghoulish set
Laura Clifford - Reeling Reviews
Once they cut to the chase (literally) and start brawling, we get our money's worth.
Sean O'Connell - Filmcritic.com
Offers the curiously heady equation of its titular bogeys to some sort of modern holy pantheon.
Walter Chaw - Film Freak Central
While Krueger and Voorhees may be the combatants here, it's the viewer who loses.
Frank Swietek - One Guy's Opinion
A movie in search of a plot, it's is little more than a random collection of cliched horror moments.
Steve Rhodes - Internet Reviews
No high art here, but Freddy vs. Jason is definitely the rowdy-drunken-party movie of the year.
Luke Y. Thompson - New Times
I dare you not to have fun watching Freddy Vs. Jason. It's the most entertaining film of the summer, the best slasher in years, and one of the best pictures [of] 2003.
Alex Sandell - Juicy Cerebellum
A dumb, but occasionally fun, attempt to squeeze some fresh blood out of two of horror's longest-running franchises.
Jamie Russell - BBC
Unlikely to win either prizes or converts, it still has an old-fashioned 80s charm about it that should satisfy the fans.
Dean Essner - Film4
Like the later chapters in both of these seemingly endless movie series, it all seems just a bit too familiar and a bit too obvious as to what's coming next.
Brian Webster - Apollo Guide
Entertaining, extremely gory horror flick that should please fans of both franchises.
Matthew Turner - ViewLondon
More clever than your average Friday the 13th but certainly not as meta as any Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy Vs. Jason basically comes down to just another teen horror movie.
Ed Gonzalez - Slant Magazine
A lively concoction of genre in-jokes with elements that'll please fans of both murderous characters.
Rich Cline - Shadows on the Wall

On NBC's Hannibal, Mads Mikkelsen plays forensic psychologist, avid foodie and, of course, cannibalistic serial killer, Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Lecter, of course, shares a first name with one of today's most brilliant standup comedians, Hannibal Buress.
In honor of that (un)fortunate coincidence, here are 15 classic Hannibal Buress jokes over images of one of TV's most-watched dramas. Why? Well, because they're both named Hannibal.

When I talked recently about being king I said one thing I'd ban would be those radio talks who make the same lame joke over and over.
Or did I say I'd cut their heads off.
If so, it would greatly improve the evening lineup on WABC radio.
I was driving along in a good mood after going for a run with my dog Betty when I pushed the wrong button on my car radio and Mark Levin came on.
Sure enough, he repeated for the millionth time that little joke in which he refers to Ron Paul as "RuPaul."
Remember when I said he was Howard Stern without a sense of humor?
Howard makes a point of dropping a gimmick once he's used it up.
As for Levin, he just repeats the same boring mantras over and over in that squeaky voice.
And another thing: can't they get him to lay off the helium while he's on the air?

they will be available for future deployments. Despite
requirements established in DOD guidance (Instruction
3020.37), DOD and the services have not identified
those contractors that provide mission essential
services and where appropriate developed backup plans
to ensure that essential contractor-provided services
will continue if the contractor for any reason becomes
unavailable. Service officials told us that, in the
past, contractors have usually been able to fulfill
their contractual obligations and, if they were unable
to do so, officials could replace them with other
contractor staff or military personnel. However, we
found that this may not always be the case. DOD's
agencywide and servicewide guidance and policies for
using and overseeing contractors that support deployed
US forces overseas are inconsistent and sometimes
incomplete. Of the four services, only the army has
developed substantial guidance for dealing with
contractors. DOD's acquisition regulations do not
require any specific contract in deployment locations
for contract workers. Of 183 contractor employees
planning to deploy with an army division to Iraq, for
example, some did not have deployment clauses in their
contracts. This omission can lead to increased
contract costs as well as delays in getting
contractors into the field.

WMMA News Roundup: Miesha Tate and Cat Zingano Are "Not Impressed" by Ronda Rousey's Performance, UFC Adds Four More to Women's Bantamweight Division
Poor Miesha Tate. It's bad enough that she nearly had her arm ripped from her torso when she first fought Ronda Rousey, but the fact that she is forced to relive it each and every time a microphone is shoved in front of her face has to leave her feeling somewhat bitter about the whole experience, and perhaps rightfully so.
Take last Saturday for instance, when Tate and her upcoming opponent Cat Zingano — both of whom appeared to be sponsored by either Lucky Charms or Zubaz Pants — were interviewed by Ariel Helwani following Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche's historic battle at UFC 157. While one would think that Tate would put her personal differences with Ronda aside for a moment and simply congratulate her for the achievement, Tate opted rather to declare that she will "rip [Rousey's] face off in the rematch." Um, Miesha, your next opponent is actually the woman who was standing right next to you when you all but wrote her off. Awkward.
In fact, Tate was spilling haterade so vigorously that even Zingano jumped in line for a glass, declaring that Rousey had "a lot of holes in [her] game" after first saying how proud she was of the first WMMA fight in UFC History and blah blah blah. On the opposite end of the spectrum, both Tate and Zingano were impressed by Carmouche's performance despite the fact that she lost and that they would have totally finished Rousey if put in the same situation.
And fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately) for Tate or Zingano, it's looking like the winner of their upcoming fight will be given the opportunity to put her money where her mouth is. During the UFC 157 post-fight show on FUEL TV, Rousey mentioned that she "is interested" in the outcome of the matchup and will be in attendance when Tate and Zingano face off in Vegas on April 13th. So make sure to tune in for the chance to witness the first ever 209 gang-stomping in WMMA History.

WOOD LAKE - A carnival worker set up at the intersection of 3rd Street and 2nd Ave. in Wood Lake on Monday, filling four arms of the crossed streets for a block in every direction with rides and concessions.
Not bad for a town of 438 residents.
Wood Lake puts on a festival every summer for three days from Monday to Wednesday.
"All I can say is it's been going on since 1935," said Dewayne Schaffran, mayor of Wood Lake and president of the community club. "They took off the four war years and '46 because of the polio epidemic, so this is our 73rd year. It's gotten smaller since I was a kid, but it's still pretty big."
Schaffran credits the success of the fair to community volunteers. At the famous hamburger stand 12 people work three two-hour shifts every evening. During the course of the three-day fair they serve between 3,500-3,800 burgers, use 400 pounds of onions and 2,100 pounds of fresh-cut potatoes.
"We do lots of telephoning," said Donna Ricke, member of the community club that coordinates volunteers. "Some just sign up on their own, some in groups. Say the elevator takes a slot, then they come in as a group."
Almost all of the long-term residents have grown up with the fair, and many who have moved away return for it.
Aimee Falkum grew up in Wood Lake and is a graduate student in Syracuse, N.Y.
"I live right down the street and I've been to the fair each and every year," Falkum said. "I think it just really brings the community together and it's a pride of place to the community. I get to see old friends again before they go back to school. And the burgers are legendary!"
Wood Lake has a 15-year relationship with the carnival people who make it a regular stop on their yearly circuit. They just came from the Murray County Fair in Slayton and will pick up and move on at the end of the week.
"We love to see it come, and by Wednesday we're ready to see it go," said Pat Haneca, owner of Haneca's Country Store. "It's a lovely tradition. It's affordable. People can bring their kids and park themselves somewhere. Older people can touch base with people they haven't seen for a while, and lots of visiting gets done."

She gave the school board a detailed plan for how she would run Oregon's largest school district on almost exactly the same amount of money next year as this year.
No employee would get a cost-of-living raise, about 70 teaching jobs would be cut, and central administrative departments would take hits of 5 percent to 10 percent, she said, presenting details in two bound books totaling nearly 400 pages.
But the district would hang onto prekindergarten and full-day kindergarten, get new middle school science books plus teacher training in math and science instruction, and continue to offer a guaranteed core set of offerings in every school.
All that hinges on a $19 million infusion from a higher "local-option levy" property tax before voters on the May 17 ballot. Taxpayers currently pay $1.25 for every $1,000 of assessed property value to bolster local school operating budgets; the school board is asking that the rate rise to $1.99 per $1,000.
If voters say no,
Smith and the school board will have to adopt her "plan B" budget — one
that is sketched out on just one page inside the mammoth budget documents.
It would require eliminating another 200 of the 2,800 positions now held by teachers, counselors, librarians and assistant principals — nearly 10 percent of those positions at most schools, Smith said.
"Class sizes would go up, we would lose electives," she said,
more elementary classes would have to be a mixture of two grade levels
and some small schools might have to close.
But almost none of that is spelled out in writing.
The one-page outline of her "Budget B" says 145 teachers and librarians would be cut, with the heaviest hit to middle schools, and 54 support staffers including educational assistants, secretaries, counselors and vice principals would be cut. But the page also says those figures are designed to "illustrate the scope" of cuts that would occur and are not necessarily what the superintendent would recommend.
Smith instead decided to wait until after the vote and come up with specific ways to balance the budget without a tax increase only if that is necessary.
If voters turn down the tax increase, "we'll be back at the table coming up with specifics," Smith said.

'Click it or Ticket' patrols begin May 19
On the heels of the first-ever statewide distracted driving extra enforcement campaign, law enforcement officers will be out once again searching for not only unbuckled drivers but distracted drivers as part of the annual "Click it or Ticket" patrols.
In Snohomish County, during the distracted driving campaign, which ran between April 10-15, 407 cell phone and texting violations were written.
The "Handheld Cell Phone Use" law became a primary law in Washington in June 2010. Prior to that, on average, 700 drivers were cited for cell phone use per month statewide. After the law went into effect, the number of motorists cited increased and has stayed consistent at approximately 4,000 per month.
This model of high visibility enforcement has proved to change behaviors and is now being applied to distracted driving. Texting and cell phone usage are aggravating to many motorists, and remain a growing public health and traffic safety issue.
That's why, between May 19 and June 1, motorists in Snohomish County can expect to see extra seat belt and distracted driving patrols.
Last year during this same time period, officers on extra patrols statewide issued 2,963 seat belt violations out of the 11,666 motorists who were stopped, and 1,897 cell phone and texting violations were written. In 2010, when the primary law went into effect, only 63 drivers were cited statewide during that same time of the year.
Although Snohomish County law enforcement maintains a zero tolerance policy for non-seat belt use and distracted driving, the Marysville, Everett, Edmonds and Lynnwood police Departments, as well as the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office and the Washington State Patrol, will be teaming up and participating in these extra patrols, with the support of the Snohomish County DUI & Target Zero Traffic Safety Task Force.
For more information, log onto www.targetzero.com or the Washington Traffic Safety Commission's website at www.wtsc.wa.gov.

When it comes to tensions between nations, especially super powers, the issue is one of either self-interest or intervention. Sometimes both.
President Obama recently commented, "The United States should not be expected to be the world's policeman." He has plenty of support for that. However, he fails, unlike Mitt Romney, to understand the expansionist hopes of Russia.
Obama's "world policeman" comment was good news for Putin in his military invasion in Crimea. Never minding the fact of Ukraine's sovereignty, Putin was determined to justify his aggression by claiming it was prompted by Ukrainian cultural/ideological conflict, with the implication that the treaty allowing for Russia's warm water naval ports in Crimea was threatened. Also, Ukrainian hopes for closer ties to Europe tended to prompt him to invade. Excuses.
Obama thinks and understands primarily domestically and environmentally. He tends to equate our nation's problems with world problems. It's not reality to think our problems mean different interests. Consider the European-Russian interdependency regarding energy. If Obama would have allowed the construction of the Keystone Pipeline a few years ago it would have been a meaningful counter to Russia's stranglehold on Europe's energy source. Instead, China's energy needs might end up to be the eventual beneficiary of Obama's self-interest. If that happens we can thank Obama for yet another victory for the communists.
Putin's intransigence and Obama's narrow interests now have us facing a renewal of the cold war, they must each now deal with the result of their narrow-minded self interests. Our interpretations and conclusions for sanctions or military actions are relevant when a sovereign nation has been trespassed upon and invasions have occurred.

The other is that Calista Springer's confinement was just one piece of a long and intricate puzzle of abuse unearthed when the teen died in a fire while chained to her bed.
On Tuesday, nearly two years after the Feb. 27, 2008 blaze that destroyed the Springers' Centreville home, a jury is scheduled to begin hearing arguments and testimony it will use to decide the Springer parents' fates.
The couple are charged with felony murder, torture and first-degree child abuse. They could face up to life in prison if convicted but remain free on bond heading into their trial.
St. Joseph County Circuit Judge Paul Stutesman moved the case to Kalamazoo County in November after attempts to seat a fair and impartial jury in Centreville failed. A jury of 12 Kalamazoo County residents will now decide the case. Fourteen jurors — including two alternates to be determined later — were seated during jury selection Friday.
On the morning of the fire, police and firefighters who responded to the Springers' home, across the street from the St. Joseph County courthouse, found Calista in her second-floor bedroom with a dog choke chain around her waist, secured to her bunk bed rail with plastic ties.
Her bed, police said, had no blankets, sheets or pillows and she appeared to be small for her age. After an autopsy, authorities said Calista had long hair on both legs and on her armpits and that a distinct mark was found around her waist from the chain.
Stutesman will preside over the Kalamazoo proceedings in a second-floor courtroom normally occupied by Circuit Judge Alexander C. Lipsey. Stutesman said local media outlets and truTV, (formerly Court TV) have requested to be in the courtroom for the case, which is expected to last up to two weeks.
The original witness list presented to potential jurors in St. Joseph County contained 84 names, including Calista's two younger sisters. Stutesman said last week that he doesn't expect all of the witnesses on the list to be called to testify.
St. Joseph County District Judge William Welty, who after hearing testimony in April ordered Anthony and Marsha Springer to stand trial, said at the time that the case hinges on the question of whether the treatment of Calista was meant to harm her or protect her.
As they did then, defense attorneys Victor Bland and John Bush are likely to argue that the chain used to restrain Calista to her bed at night was a safety measure. A Michigan Department of Human Services worker who investigated the Springers in 2004 testified in April that Marsha Springer told her the restraint was for safety reasons and to keep Calista from getting up at night and eating non-edible items in the home.
But St. Joseph County Prosecutor John McDonough, who authorized the charges against the Springers just two weeks after taking office in November 2008, has argued that Calista was abused for years. According to earlier testimony, the teen not only was chained to her bed, but was fed small portions of food, was made to stand in a square inside her house and was treated worse than her two younger sisters.

PATERSON — A vigil for a cat killed last month turned into a bitter fight on Thursday over the fate of the feline's alleged grade school torturers, the Record reported.
Hundreds of city residents gathered outside the police station, separated by barriers and the issue of whether or not three children should be criminally charged with beating "Quattro" to death on May 7. Advocates for the cat have rallied for a harsher punishment after the School 4 students were suspended, and on May 28, authorities charged three boys, ages 6, 10 and 12, with three counts of animal cruelty.
The students allegedly beat Quattro with bricks and rocks near School 4, before two other boys intervened. The cat was euthanized on May 15, having sustained two broken legs, a broken jaw, a fractured eye socket and head trauma.
Some city officials and the Paterson chapter of the NAACP are urging the Passaic Prosecutor's Office to drop the criminal charges. At Thursday's candlelight vigil, they countered Quattro advocates with signs and chants on behalf of the three boys.

In part one I take a Lufthansa Regional Jet from Basel to Frankfurt in Business Class and then have the pleasure of sampling Asiana's excellent First Class service from Frankfurt to Seoul. You can read that report here: Asiana First Class: Via Frankfurt To Seoul (by Knightsofmalta Jun 3 2012 in Trip Reports)
Date: 27 May 2012
From: Seoul Incheon
To: Fukuoka
Airline: Asiana Airlines
Aircraft: Airbus A 321
Class: Business Class
Seat: 1B, aisle. Just before pushback I move to 3D, window.
To get to the airport, I make the same trip I did the previous day but in revers. First the Metro line 1 from City Hall to Seoul Station and then from there the Airport Express to Incheon. The railway station of Lucerne inspired the original main building of Seoul Station. It is now closed for traffic though, and houses a museum instead.
The Airport Express station is on the second basement floor, the platform for the train is five storeys further down in the seventh basement floor.
At Seoul Station some carriers, including Asiana, provide the possibility to do check-in and even immigration. I give it a miss this time as I only have four minutes to spare before the train leaves.
Once I arrive at the airport, I find the Asiana check-in counters to check if they will accept the SWISS branded boarding card I was issued in Basel two days earlier. The agent looks at my passport, tells me everything is fine and writes the number of the gate on the boarding card for me.
After that I head for security, which, although very busy, is also highly efficient. After security and emigration I head for the Asiana lounge one floor up.
The receptionist welcomes me to the lounge and tells me that I am welcome to use the lounge proviso that I go across to the transfer counter and have my SWISS boarding pass exchanged for an Asiana branded one. So I do that, no idea what the point of all this is though, and then return.
The lounge is elegantly appointed, but there are a few odd items: a piano that does not make a sound and shelves of faux books – covers with empty pages.
The lounge is not too full and I manage to secure a comfortable seat by the window. I pass my time watching the action on the ramp.
When I arrive at the gate I find my bird standing there with a bunch of engineers peering at the left engine with its cowling open. It is only when I take a closer look that I realise they are running a test and the engine is actually on. Standing so close to it the noise must be deafening. The gate attendant announces that there will be a delay for technical reasons. Indeed!
Eventually we depart about thirty minutes behind schedule. But the flight time is calculated at just under one hour, so we are able to make up time en route and by the time we arrive in Fukuoka, we are only 15 minutes behind schedule.
Asiana has a dedicated Business Class on its Airbus narrow-bodies. There are three rows with four seats on each row, for a total of twelve seats. The colours and patterns are the same as in First Class on the B 747-400. The seat is incredibly wide, has amazingly soft cushions, a footrest and is tremendously comfortable.
I arrive at my seat to find earphones, the menu and a pair of slippers placed in the seat pocket.
There are two flight attendants working the Business Class section on this flight. Again the crew seem friendly enough. Service begins with one of the flight attendants passing through the cabin with the customs and immigration forms for Japan.
THE MEALOnce boarding is completed, the lead flight attendant comes by offering either water or orange juice for a welcome drink. This is followed by a hot towel.
After take-off it takes a while for the service to begin as there is quite some chop, which takes some time to clear.
When eventually the fasten seatbelt sign goes off, my table is covered with a crisp linen tablecloth. Every passenger is served a tray individually from the galley, not from a trolley. And this is what we get.
I have a Perrier with that and then later on a coffee. During the meal the crew serve green tea.
Miso soup.
The approach into Fukuoka is pretty spectacular. First we fly in over the sea, along the cost. Then we bank right and fly right over the city towards the hills in the background. As the hills begin to close in around the aircraft, that is when you begin to wonder where on earth you are actually going. I hear the sound of the autopilot being disengaged and shortly thereafter we bank sharply to the left to execute a 180 degree turn at an interestingly low altitude. It reminds me a bit of the approach to Hong Kong's old Kai Tak airport. Eventually we come out of the turn, the wings are levelled again and we gracefully glide down onto the runway. Nice one captain!
Domestic terminal.
International terminal.
Last view of my bird.
Fukuoka has an international terminal and a domestic terminal, which are separated from each other by the runway. There is the metro into town, but that only runs from the domestic terminal. But there is a free shuttle to take passengers across the airfield. And that is literally what it does. You pick up the shuttle just outside arrivals, landside. After a brief stop at the cargo terminal, the bus then passes a gate in the perimeter fence that takes you airside again. It is an interesting route and runs between the masts of the approach light markings as you round the runway threshold. Once you reach the other side, the bus passes a gate and you find yourself landside once again.
The only problem on this particular occasion is that the bus is stifling. It so hot and muggy it takes your breath away. But luckily the journey does not take too long to complete.
The domestic terminal is divided into sections, although I am not exactly sure according to what criteria. One would expect there to be separate sections for ANA and for JAL, but that does not seem to be the case.
The trip into town only takes 5 minutes by metro. I get out at the second stop, which is Hakata main station. From here there are connections onto the JR Shinkansen mainline routes. My hotel is in a shopping mall complex known as Canal City and is some 10 minutes away from the station on foot.
On this flight Asiana certainly showed consistency in its service in that the flight, although a very short one, was equally pleasant as my trip from Frankfurt to Seoul with them the previous day. The Business Class seat is positively enormous and the crew were pleasant, professional and charming. The food perhaps is a matter of taste. Asiana are certainly catering for the Japanese market here. I like Japanese food, so I don't mind. But I can imagine there may be people who would not have enjoyed this meal
The day after I arrive in Fukuoka I have to explore the city before heading out to the airport again in the evening for my flight to Okinawa. Stay tuned.

CLEVELAND -- A 35-year-old mother has won a $200,000 judgment from her ex-boyfriend because he e-mailed sordid photos of her to about 100 of her co-workers in an alcohol-fueled fit of spite after she dumped him.
The jury needed little more than an hour last week to agree that William Barlock Jr. of Columbia Station, Ohio, invaded his former lover's privacy and intentionally inflicted emotional distress on her.
In a similar Staten Island-based incident in March involving racy photos, a 16-year-old sophomore at St. Joseph by-the-Sea High School was expelled after pictures surfaced of her nude and semi-nude.
The Pleasant Plains girl, then the junior varsity cheerleading captain at the Huguenot school, eventually transferred to another school.
Some of the photos -- allegedly forwarded along and posted online by a male acquiantance from another Catholic high school -- reportedly featured the girl wearing clothing with Sea's insignia, which is against the school's code of conduct.
It wasn't immediately known last night if criminal charges were ever brought against the male.
In the Cleveland case, the lawyer for the Avon Lake, Ohio, woman, John Burke, said the verdict should be a shrill warning to anyone who has ever thought of embarrassing friend or foe by posting regrettable and compromising photographs in the public domain.
"I think the verdict means that people can't take private activities and publish them just to seek revenge, because if you do, it'll cost you dearly," Burke said Friday.
The Plain Dealer is not disclosing the woman's name. She originally filed her lawsuit as Jane Doe but had to add her real name to comply with court rules.
She chose not to discuss the case.
Barlock and his attorney, Marcus Sidoti, couldn't be reached for comment.
Barlock and the woman, who were co-workers at an office-equipment retailer, had been dating for about 15 months when they went to Kelleys Island for an Independence Day weekend in 2005. She was "feeling the effects of two to four bottles of wine" when they motored west of the island in Barlock's 22-foot boat, according to court filings. When the woman dropped her bikini, Barlock filmed her with her digital camera, creating images that she later described as "very graphic -- like bad porn."
The next morning, she panicked, remembering vaguely that she had been photographed. She grabbed her digital camera and deleted every sordid shot, she testified.
Within six months, she ended her relationship with Barlock.
Somehow, though, the photographs survived. Burke said he never established whether Barlock copied them before she deleted them or reconstructed them from the electronic residue left on the memory card that had held the pictures.
She eventually moved on to another boyfriend, and Barlock moved on to another job.
Barlock was on a minivacation in Houston last October when he called a Cleveland friend, who mentioned that he'd seen Barlock's ex that night with her new boyfriend -- another of her co-workers.
Barlock admitted he had sucked down a dozen Miller Lites and maybe a margarita by the time he returned to his hotel room. He opened the computer file of her poses. Then he created an alias e-mail that appeared to be from her new boyfriend. He attached five of the photos. He addressed it to every one of her 100-odd co-workers.
About six of the company's computer technicians saw the e-mail. They zapped it from their colleagues' mailboxes and one of them called the woman, who contacted Barlock on his cell phone. He denied sending the e-mail.
The lawsuit followed last November. The woman said she could no longer speak in front of co-workers without her throat tightening. She sneaked in and out the back door at work to avoid seeing the computer techs. And on many occasions, she broke down in tears on the way to work.

NORTHAMPTON – Voters will have to choose between the contents of their wallets and the department they turn to when they are stolen when they vote on a ballot question calling for a $10 million debt exclusion override to build a new police facility.
The $17.6 million project, which has been talked about for years, would provide police a state-of-the-art, 31,000-square-foot station to replace the current decrepit facility, which was built in 1965. After budgeting for the project, the city was on the cusp of breaking ground two years ago when the economy collapsed and it was forced to back away.
Although a yes vote would enable the city to raise taxes above the 2 1/2 percent per year limit set by the state, the debt exclusion differs from a straight override in that it stays on the tax roles only until the project is paid for. A straight override is permanent. Northampton voters approved a permanent $2 million override last year.
According to city officials, the debt exclusion would add about $80 a year to the tax bill of the owner of a median priced house, starting in 2014. The city would borrow the $10 million and repay the loan over a period of time. It has budgeted to pay the remainder of the cost out of its general fund.
Police Chief Russell P. Sienkiewicz said a new facility has been one of his major goals since he became chief in 1994.
"Our station is not sufficient for operations as a professional police agency," he said.
Sienkiewicz pointed out that the department has grown from 30 to 70 employees since the current station was built, while the breadth and scope of police duties has expanded.
"The building is falling apart," he said. "The time has come to replace it."
City Councilor Pamela Schwartz is also a member of Yes!Northampton, a group that is lobbying for passage of the ballot question. She believes the project is critical to the health of the community.
"We need a functional police station, and right now we don't have one," Schwartz said.
Noting that interest rates on borrowing are low, Schwartz said the timing is right for the project.
"This is the smartest time we can do this," she said.
Fellow councilor Eugene A. Tacy differs with Schwartz on the timing, however. Tacy, who is in the construction business, said the price of concrete is at an all-time high. More importantly, he said, household budgets are already stretched to the breaking point.
"I have people in my ward who are not going to the dentist because they can't afford to," Tacy said.
Noting that the council recently approved $800,000 for design work on a new Department of Public Works complex, Tacy said the city is asking the voters to take on too many projects at once and predicted the police station override will fall short.
"It might be just the wrong time," he said.

The 1 p.m. event will be held at the historic St. George Theatre, and is open to the public.
"We've invited everybody and their mother," said Ms. Rose, a Democrat. "We want to share this moment with everyone."
Ms. Rose defeated incumbent Councilman Ken Mitchell (D-North Shore) in a September primary and again in the general election, when Mitchell ran on the Conservative line.
She will officially be sworn into the Council prior to the Island ceremony, and formally takes office on Jan. 1. Council members will be sworn in en masse during the Council's opening session during the first week of January.
Ms. Rose said that she will take over Mitchell's Council office on Stuyvesant Place in St. George, which has also been home to Democratic Council predecessors Jerome O'Donovan and Michael McMahon.
The space is appealing, Ms. Rose said, because it is city-owned and doesn't have to be paid for out of her Council budget. It also contains files on ongoing constituent cases and other matters, which Ms. Rose said will allow her to hit the ground running.
"We want to make sure there is no drop-off in constituent services," she said.
Because parking is at a premium in the St. George municipal neighborhood during the day, Ms. Rose said that her office would also have nighttime hours, "when the meters aren't demanding to be fed."
Ms. Rose said that she would look to open a "storefront" constituent service office at another location outside St. George sometime in the future.

Northumberland Regional High School teacher Sherry Cheek looks at rubbing of Pte. James Roberston, a Victoria Cross winner who was killed in action during the First World War. The NRHS educator took part in a two-week tour of key battlefields, cemeteries and monuments in Europe in July. Cheek said the rubbing will be displayed at the school this fall. JOHN BRANNEN тАУ THE NEWS
Published on August 25, 2014
Teacher Sherry Cheek stands with a stone soldier at the Museum of the Somme. The Battle of the Somme was one of the largest and bloodiest of the First World War, with over 24,000 Canadian casualties among the 1,000,000 British, French and German troops. The museum was one of many visited on her tour of Europe. SUBMITTED
NEW GLASGOW тАУ After decades of teaching about CanadaтАЩs contribution during the First and Second World Wars from a textbook, this yearтАЩs history classes at Northumberland Regional High School are about to become more in-depth and real than ever.
A century after the тАЬwar to end all warsтАЭ began, teacher Sherry Cheek undertook the trip of a lifetime to the battlefields, cemeteries and towns in Europe that were touched by the conflicts.
After two weeks overseas, she has returned to Pictou County a changed woman.
тАЬIтАЩll never forget all that I saw,тАЭ she said. тАЬI see things differently, thatтАЩs for sure.тАЭ
Cheek, an educator for 30 years, applied for and was accepted for the 2014 Canada and the Experience of War Teachers Professional Program tour of Europe. The tour, offered through the University of New Brunswick and Wilfrid Laurier University, offers teachers a glimpse into the history of Canada in two world wars and the potential for using the subject as a vehicle to foster critical-thinking skills in today's young people.
тАЬI always wanted to see these places that I teach about for myself. Visiting these sites was something close to my heart and a life-long dream. When the opportunity came up, I knew I had to go for it.тАЭ
Cheek was the only Nova Scotian teacher in a group of about 20 from across Canada. The 14-day trip from July 7 to 19 took the educators from the Somme to Beaumont-Hamel, to Dieppe and Juno Beach, to name a few sites of interest.
A typical day lasted 13 hours and included lectures to start the day with museum, monument or city tours as the days went on. While the trip was educational, it was also profoundly emotional.
тАЬI donтАЩt think there was a day that went by that I didnтАЩt cry,тАЭ said Cheek. тАЬIt rained an entire week we were there but our guides told us to suck it up, since at least we had a warm meal and bed to go to that night. The soldiers in the trenches didnтАЩt have that.тАЭ
The scope impact of the war hit home for Cheek when she delivered a 15-minute presentation on Pte. James Robertson, a Victoria Cross winner born in Albion Mines (now Stellarton). He enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Medicine Hat, Alta., in 1915 and was killed in action on Nov. 6, 1917, while rescuing two badly wounded fellow soldiers under severe fire. The memorial park in Stellarton bears his name.
Cheek spoke of his exploits at his graveside in Passchendaele, Belgium.
тАЬAs I read his biography, a rubbing of his grave was given to me,тАЭ she said. тАЬI plan to hang this on the wall at NRHS.тАЭ
She also poured some soil from Stellarton over his grave and left a piece of Nova Scotia tartan there for him and sang a WWI song written by Stoddard King entitled тАЬThereтАЩs a Long Long Trail A-Winding.тАЭ
She also found the local connection to CanadaтАЩs efforts at Juno Beach. On June 6, 1944, 359 Canadians were killed in action on the beaches of Normandy. One of them, Cpl. Lloyd Elmer Bishop, was from New Glasgow. The Town of New Glasgow commissioned the plaque near the Juno Beach Centre for $500 that was installed in May 2014.
Many, including her students, supported Cheek in her quest for knowledge.
тАЬMy global history students were almost as excited about my going as I was.тАЭ Many said these were things they would never get to see, but they would see them through her eyes.
In her travels, she saw fields with unexploded bombs, burnt out churches and large memorials such as the Vimy Ridge monument. Despite these constant reminders of the wars that have taken place, she feels that Canada is doing well in remembering the fallen.
тАЬWeтАЩre on the right track,тАЭ she said. тАЬI know myself and the other teachers who experienced this journey will be doing our part to keep this part of history alive.тАЭ

The Wolverines won a national title in 1988-89, and Rice was spectacular, scoring an NCAA Tournament-record 184 points.
Now, Rice says he sees a little bit of that team in this year's Wolverines.
"In terms of winning, they've done a little more than we did," he said Sunday before Michigan played Penn State. "But in terms of the individuals, I do (see a lot of similarities). When you look at the guys they have, they work very hard for one another. They believe in what's going on out there, they believe in leaders that are on the team.
"I really would see similarities if they can go out and win it, because they do have that capability of winning."
Michigan has scuffled a bit recently, dropping three of its past five games and needing an efficient offense Sunday to fend off last-place Penn State (8-17, 0-13) by eight points.
Rice, though, says he sees a title contender in the Wolverines. The key piece missing, he says, is steady production from the big men.
"They depend a little more on the outside game than we did," he said. "We had guys who were very capable of taking games over down low and in the mid-range game. So, that could be a difference.
"I do think that will determine whether they win a championship, because you have to establish some kind of inside game."
Rice made the comments before the Penn State game -- a matchup in which Michigan big men Jon Horford, Mitch McGary, Jordan Morgan and Max Biefeldt combined for zero points.
Michigan was outscored in the paint 30-24, and outrebounded 35-29. In its previous game against Michigan State, it was outscored in the paint 36-22 and outrebounded 41-30.
The strength of the team, certainly, is its guard play. Trey Burke is among the nation's top players, Tim Hardaway Jr. is one of the better second options in the Big Ten and Nik Stauskas is a lethal 3-point shooter.
Is that enough, though, for Michigan to make a tournament run?
Rice says Michigan will need more from its bigs. But he's still impressed with Burke, whom he compares to his former teammate, Gary Grant.
"I mean, the guy can beat you off the dribble, he can shoot -- the thing I haven't seen him do, and I'm quite sure he can probably do it, is post up guys," Rice said. "I'm impressed by all phases of his game.
"Burke and Grant are definitely ditto to one another, because they got all phases of the offensive game."

At least 24 bucks, does and fawns call Staten Island home, the state Department of Environmental Conservation announced today, making public the results of the borough's first deer count.
Agency officials and Assemblyman Michael Cusick now hope that the documented count -- contained within four zones on the west and south shores -- will persuade the city Department of Transportation to install deer crossing signs on local roads to warn motorists of which areas deer are known to roam.
"Now we have proof that there are deer on Staten Island," Cusick (D-Mid-Island) said at a news conference at the Greenbelt Nature Center in Sea View. "We'd like to co-exist with the deer on Staten Island. [Signs] will not only protect the deer, it will protect people also."
The count, conducted by DEC's regional wildlife manager Joseph Pane, was based on Staten Islanders reported observations of deer. Pane took those sightings -- 37 locations and about 100 deer -- and went to each site over a two-month period in January and February. Dressed in a green jacket and brown hat to blend in with the wooded areas he visited, Pane waited patiently to spot the deer and recorded 24 different animals.
The number is so much lower than what was reported because many of them appear, from the time and locations noted, to be duplicates, Pane said. There could, however, easily be more than 24 because they are very mobile and spread out over vast areas, he added.
"In time, the numbers are going to get larger," he said, pointing out that the herd is here to stay. And with no natural predators, like wolves or wolves here, "there's a likelihood that they're going to spread and wander further."
Suzanne Mattei, DEC's regional director, said that over time, there may be a need to install protective fencing near major roads and highways to prevent deer from jumping into the road. It's critical that people be aware of the possibility of contracting Lyme disease from deer ticks, though no deer ticks have yet been found to carry the disease on Staten Island. People should also stay away from deer and not feed them, she said. And yes, hunting is still illegal within the five boroughs.
The count will continue each year in January and February, Ms. Mattei said, to monitor the growth of the deer population.
