My name is Christine Ivie Edge, and I have been a full-time instructor in the University of Alabama's Department of Criminal Justice for the past five years.
Q:What do you do? Tell us about your job and how you became involved.
A:I teach undergraduate courses. During my time at UA, I have taught more than 10 different classes, including two I pioneered: Law and Film, and Sociology of Victimization. Before UA, I was working in Indianapolis for a federally funded anti- human-trafficking task force.
Q:Where are you from? What brought you to or keeps you in Tuscaloosa?
A:I had never ventured to Tuscaloosa until I began working for UA. Upon my arrival, I was enamored with the school. I spent my first year in Tuscaloosa, but have been commuting from Birmingham for the past four years. Though my son, who's now 10, and I enjoyed our residency, I decided to relocate so he could attend the same schools I had while growing up.
Q:What do you tell people or friends who've never been here about living in Tuscaloosa?
A:In addition to my adoration for the campus and its offerings, I take care to compliment the community's delicious and eclectic dining options. Moreover, being the outdoors people my son and I are, I also inform people about the UA Arboretum and scenic Riverwalk.
Q:Where are the top places you take visitors and why?
A:Aside from campus, I make sure that my guests experience the Strip. For guests with children, the Children's Hands-On Museum is a must. Each time I bring my son to Tuscaloosa, he insists that we visit Veterans Memorial Park. The Bama Theatre is also a delight.
Q:What are your favorite places to eat? What do you order or suggest ordering?
A:Given my cravings for coffee and desserts, I'm a fan of Edelweiss German Bakery and Cafe. Given its location, plus the great service and food, I typically pick up lunch from Newk's; their margherita pizza is a favorite of mine. I love Bento.
Q:What are some of the best hangout locations around town?
A:The establishments lining the Strip have never let me down!
Q:What are some of your favorite local activities?
A:Farmers market. Any and all activities that are outdoors!
Q:What thing(s) do you think Tuscaloosa needs or needs more of and why?
A:One of the reasons for my return to Birmingham was the cultural events it offers. As the parent of a not-yet teen, I enjoy being able to integrate my son into social settings we can enjoy and benefit from.
Q:How do you urge people to get more involved around town?
A:I have Birmingham friends involved in the music scene. I am periodically asked about scheduling shows in Tuscaloosa. The questions pertain to student receptivity, given the time of year, etc. I encourage them to bring their music to Tuscaloosa. A thriving music scene is indispensable.

STAR (School Tax Relief) Exemption
Basic STAR exemption: Most residents who own and live in their home are eligible for the NYS Basic STAR property tax exemption on their primary residence. Basic STAR works by exempting the first $30,000 of the full value of a home from school taxes.
Enhanced STAR exemption: Available for senior citizens (age 65 and older) with yearly household incomes not exceeding the statewide standard. For these qualifying persons, an additional percentage of the full value of their primary residence is exempted from school taxes.
Important Changes to STAR Exemption Program: New applicants who qualify for STAR must register with New York State instead of applying with their assessor. You will receive a STAR credit in the form of a check, rather than receiving a property tax exemption. The dollar value of the credit will be the same as the property tax exemption. You can register online at https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/property/star/register-for-star-credit.htmor by phone at (518) 457-2036. These changes do not affect homeowners who registered for the STAR exemption prior to the 2015 deadline.

In 2015, NYS created a new STAR Rebate for the years 2016 through 2019, which replaces the Property Tax Freeze Credit offered in 2014 and 2015. The new rebate applies to homeowners who are receiving the STAR exemption and who live in school districts that pass budgets at or below their tax levy cap. In 2016, the rebate will be a $185 credit for eligible homeowners earning $200,000 or less. For the years 2017 through 2019, the rebate will equal the STAR tax savings multiplied by a percentage determined by the taxpayer's income, with eligible annual income capped at $275,000. The State will mail rebate checks to residents in the fall.

What Is Tonsillitis?
There are two oval-shaped pads of tissues on the back of our throat, one on each side. These are known as tonsils. When the tonsils get inflamed, the afflicted person starts suffering from a condition known as tonsillitis. It is characterized by the following symptoms:
- Difficulty swallowing.
- Sore throat.
- Swollen tonsils.
- Lymph nodes on the side of the neck would be swollen and tender as well.
Medical treatment for tonsillitis depends upon a lot of factors such as how the affliction responds to various home or OTC remedies and how frequently the person suffers from the affliction. Surgery to remove the tonsils is pretty common, but it should always be used as a last resort.
Is Tonsillitis Contagious?
The most common cause of tonsillitis is the bacterium Streptococcus progenies, although it may be caused by other strains of the same or different bacteria. The affliction can spread via direct contact. However, the good news is that the spread can easily be prevented with the help of some easy to follow common sense hygiene practices such as:
- The afflicted person should be isolated from others till he recovers completely.
- She should always cough or sneeze with her mouth fully covered.
- No one should share or use the afflicted person's personal items.
Bacterial tonsillitis may be contagious for 2 weeks if left untreated. If is is treated with antibiotics, the patient stops being contagious 48 hours after the medication is started.
If the onset of tonsillitis is due to a viral infection, the patient is usually contagious for about 7 – 10 days.
Causes: How Do You Get Tonsillitis?
Tonsils are the first line of defense against bacteria that enters our body through the throat; hence it is pretty common for the tonsils to get infected. However the immunological activities of the tonsils decrease significantly after puberty, hence cases of tonsillitis are most commonly seen in children from their pre-school years up to their mid-teenage years. Tonsillitis is highly uncommon among adults.
As mentioned earlier, tonsillitis is mainly caused by various strains of the Streptococcus bacteria. Such cases are known as bacterial tonsillitis. Other relatively common causes of tonsillitis are:
- Adenovirus: This virus is also known to cause diarrhea.
- Enterovirus: It also causes hand, foot and mouth disease.
- Influenza virus
- Parainfluenza virus: This also causes croup and laryngitis.
- Rubeola virus: Also causes measles.
Following are the most common symptoms of tonsillitis:
- Bad breath.
- Difficulty swallowing, with every effort being extremely painful.
- Sore throat.
- The lymph nodes on either corner of the neck would be swollen and painful.
- Fever and headache. Temperatures are usually greater than 100.4F (38C).
- The tonsils themselves would be red and swollen and may have white or yellow patches on them. That is because these spots are filled with pus.
- Stomachache, however this symptom is only common among children in their pre-school years.
- Stiff neck.
- The voice will sound really hoarse.
- Pain in the ears.
- Constant fatigue and other symptoms of general malaise.
Extremely young children find it difficult to express how they are feeling. However, the following signs may indicate that they may be suffering from tonsillitis:
- Drooling, as they are unable to swallow the saliva because of the pain. They may refuse to eat as well!
- They may seem to be really fussy. That is because they are feeling the effects of general malaise, which they are unable to express.
Home Remedies for Tonsillitis
Suffering from tonsillitis is one of the most common afflictions among children and not every case requires urgent medical attention or surgery. Most cases of this affliction can be easily taken care of with the help of the following home remedies:
- Rest
Our natural immunity is extremely adept at dealing with a wide variety of microorganisms that invade our body, including those that cause tonsillitis. Make sure that the sufferer rests aplenty and speaks as little as possible so that her natural immunity can fight the affliction.
- Fluids
The sufferer should drink plenty of fluids to keep the throat moist. There is a general aversion towards drinking anything because swallowing is really painful. However a dry throat will exacerbate the symptoms, hence it is imperative that the sufferer stays hydrated. Warm soup and broth should be provided in abundance. As the sufferer will find solid food to be next to impossible to swallow, soups and broth will not only keep the person hydrated, but will also be an important source of essential nutrients.
- Humidify the Air
There is only so much fluids that a person can possibly drink. However, if you live in a relatively dry climate, the throat of the afflicted person may still feel dry, irrespective of the amount of fluids they consume. Using a cool-air humidifier (like the kind used during the winter to get rid of static electricity) will raise the humidity of the room and will allow the throat of the sufferer to stay hydrated for extended periods of time.
- Lemon
Lemon can help fight tonsillitis because of the following reasons:
- It has natural anti-microbial properties that can help fight the external invaders.
- It has anti-inflammatory properties as well that can help reduce the swelling.
- It is rich in Vitamin C that boosts the immunity of the afflicted person.
You can make a drink to treat tonsillitis with the help of the following steps:
- Take a glass of water. It should be warmer than lukewarm, but not be so hot that it damages internal tissue.
- Squeeze an entire lemon in the water. You can also add a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of honey. Not only will they improve the taste, they will help cure the affliction as well because:
- Honey has mild anti-bacterial properties that can help stave off bacterial tonsillitis.
- Salt is an astringent, which makes it an effective anti-microbial agent. It can draw the pus out of the inflamed tonsils, thus providing some welcome relief. It can also kill the invading microbes by dehydrating them.
The sufferer should drink the aforementioned drink twice every day until the affliction is cured, which should happen in a few days.
An alternate, more aggressive form of this treatment would be to take a slice of lemon, sprinkle some salt on it and then suck on it directly for up to three times a day. One can add a teaspoon of honey if they find the taste of raw lemons to be a bit too strong.
- Carrot Juice
Carrots are rich in Vitamin A, which boosts your immunity and helps the sufferer fight the affliction from the inside. Drinking carrot juice three times a day can get rid of the affliction relatively quickly.
- Papaya Juice
Papaya contains an enzyme known as papaya proteinase or papain, which is known for its anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduced the swelling in the inflamed tonsils. Drinking papaya juice a couple of times every day should go a long way towards getting relief from tonsillitis.
- Gargles
These are the most commonly cited home remedy for tonsillitis, probably because they tend to be extremely effective. There are quite a few different ways you can prepare gargles, however irrespective of the way it is prepared, one should always spit out the gargle water and never swallow it, so that the extracted microbes exit the system of the sufferer instead of entering it further.
Following are the most effective gargles:
- Salt water gargle: We have already established why salt can help combat the microbes that are causing tonsillitis. To prepare this gargle, mix one teaspoon of table salt in a glass of warmer than lukewarm water. The sufferer can use this as often as he would like.
- Onion gargle: Onions have documented anti-microbial properties that can be used to fight a case of tonsillitis. Simply run a full-sized onion through the food processor to extract the juice and add two tablespoons of the juice to a glass of warm water. Alternatively you can boil three onions in a pan of water for about ten minutes. Let this cool down to a warmer than lukewarm stage and then use it for gargling.
- Turmeric gargle: The anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric are almost legendary. They were first documented in Ayurveda and it has been used in traditional Indian and Chinese medical practitioners for centuries. Simply add a teaspoon of turmeric to a glass of warmer than lukewarm water and use it to gargle. Some prefer adding it to the salt water gargle to increase its potency.
- Fenugreek seeds gargle: Fenugreek seeds have potent anti-microbial properties as well, which can be utilized in the form of a gargle to fight off tonsillitis. Simply boil a couple of teaspoons of fenugreek seeds in a pan of water for about ten minutes, strain, let it cool down to the desirable temperature and use it.
- Alum gargle: Hydrated potassium aluminum sulfate, more commonly known as alum has been used as a water purifier as well as a topical antiseptic for centuries, before they were replaced by modern water filtration systems and the more soothing after shave balms. However, its potent antibacterial properties remain unchanged and it can be added to warm water to create an antiseptic gargle to cure tonsillitis. Simply take some alum (available at your local grocery or health food store) and grind it into a fine powder. Mix two teaspoons of this powder into a glass of warmer than lukewarm water and have the afflicted person gargle with it for up to two times a day.
- Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) gargle: Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has potent anti-microbial properties that can be utilized in the form of a gargle. To make it effective the gargle water should be about 50% ACV. If the sufferer finds that to be a bit too strong, then it may be diluted a bit further. However, before administering this treatment, you need to make sure that the sufferer is not allergic to it. To find that out, simply apply a bit of diluted ACV on an unblemished part of the sufferer's skin. There will be a minor stinging sensation, which should go away in a few seconds. However, if the sufferer feels a persistent burn, he may be allergic to it and should implement an alternate treatment. For best results, use organic ACV that has the "mother of vinegar" inside the bottle.

Princeton >> To think Desmond Cambridge didn't like Jadwin Gym the first time he stepped inside the arena on Princeton's campus would be hard to believe.
Because the Brown freshman put on a show in his first official game here.
Cambridge poured in 32 points, including an incredible game-winning 3 with 4.2 seconds left in overtime, and the Bears shocked the Tigers, 102-100, in the highest scoring game in Princeton history on Saturday night.
"That was an incredible performance," Tigers coach Mitch Henderson said. "Once of the better performances I've ever seen in Jadwin. Unfortunately, it was on the other team."
A native of Nashville, Tenn., Cambridge played a postgraduate season at the Hun School last year and use to come over the Jadwin for pick up games once Princeton began showing interest in him.
"I got a feel for it, but I didn't really like at first, the gym, because it's kind of a weird funky gym," Cambridge said. "I got accustomed to it. I came in hot this game and it paid off."
Cambridge has been sensational for Brown (10-9, 3-3) in his rookie campaign. He's averaging 17.4 points per game and finished one off a career-high on Saturday night.
He was 10-for-16 from the floor and made seven of his nine attempts from beyond the arc. He scored the Bears' final five points in regulation, including a pair of free throws with 5.4 seconds remaining to force the extra period, then blocked Myles Stephens' layup attempt at the buzzer.
All this on the heels of a 29-point performance, albeit one in which he missed two late free throws to tie the game, in an OT loss at Penn on Friday.
"I think that fueled us," Cambridge said. "It was basically the same situation and I missed the game-tying free throws (on Friday), so today I had the chip on my shoulder."
Brandon Anderson added 25 points and Obi Okolie had 15 for Brown, which also finished 13-for-21 from beyond the arc. In the last five games against the Tigers at Jadwin, the Bears made 17 combined 3s.
Devin Cannady netted 27 points and Stephens had 23 for Princeton (11-9, 3-2), which had its 19-game home winning streak in Ivy League games snapped.
This was the first game in program history where both teams scored 100 points and the highest scoring game, surpassing the 1965 third place contest in which the Tigers beat Wichita State, 118-82, behind 58 Bill Bradley points.
"I'm sure that was an enjoyable game for fans, and not so much for coaches that see the game defensively," Henderson said. "If you had an idea of what we needed to do defensively, I would have tried it. It was tough, we couldn't stop them."
Princeton led 100-98 after Stephens drained a pair of free throws with 14.9 seconds left, but Cambridge turned a broken play into an off-balance 3-pointer.
"It kind of got jumbled and I was feeling it all night, so I just shot it," Cambridge said. "It went in."
Brown coach Mike Martin has become accustomed to seeing that from his star freshman.
"For people who have just seen him for the first time, I'm sure they're surprised at the level of difficulty of shots he can make," Martin said. "We're fortunate we see it every day. We've seen it for 19 games and every day in practice. I know it was a difficult shot and we know he can get his shot off against anybody. The play was broken and he just went and said I want to win the game."
Both teams shot well over 50 percent with Princeton checking in at 57.9 and Brown at 55.1. Neither team led by double-digits and the Tigers held the game's biggest advantage when they went up seven with 4:02 remaining.
But Brown had Cambridge.
"We're trying to change the tradition at Brown because usually it's OK to lose," Cambridge said. "That's what people think around here, but where I'm from, no you can't lose and be OK with it. I'm coming here ready to play, ready to win."
No. 3 Purdue 78, Rutgers 76
Piscataway >> Vincent Edward had 18 points, seven rebounds and eight assists, and No. 3 Purdue held on to beat Rutgers for a school-record 19th straight win.
Mathis Dakota scored 16 points, Carsen Edwards had 13 and P.J. Thompson added 12 points for the Boilermakers (23-2, 12-0 Big Ten).
Corey Sanders had 31 points and seven rebounds, and Deshawn Freeman added 14 points and nine rebounds for Rutgers (12-13, 2-10), which overcame a 15-point first-half deficit looked poised to pull off an upset at home.

A panel of city and county officials on Monday approved a plan to lease 2.5 acres of land owned by Los Angeles County to the philanthropist and art collector Eli Broad for his contemporary art collection in downtown Los Angeles, The Associated Press reported. The deal advances Mr. Broad's proposal to build the museum with his own money, up to $100 million for construction and $200 million more for an endowment. He has said that he would pay $7.7 million for a 99-year lease. Mr. Broad, whose 2,000-piece collection includes major works by Jeff Koons, Cindy Sherman and Andy Warhol, considered at least two other sites for the museum before deciding on the current one, located next to Disney Hall and across the street from the Museum of Contemporary Art.Continue reading the main story

Lacey Weatherford was born in Ft. Meade Maryland while her father was serving in the military. She has been a life long resident of Arizona, spending most of her time growing up in the small rural town of Clay Springs.
It was while she was attending the small country school in Clay Springs, that she read her first "big" book at the age of eight. It was a Nancy Drew novel and Lacey was instantly hooked. She read every book that she could find in the series and decided that she wanted to write stories too.
Lacey spent a lot of time at the library from that time forward, even volunteering in her later teen years and early twenties. She would don a crazy clown outfit for the Friends of the Library fundraisers in an effort to help get the new town library built.
When she and her husband moved away from the area, Lacey took the opportunity to take some creative writing classes at the local college to help further along her interests. Several years later, they were blessed with the opportunity to move back to Clay Springs with their family. The town had finally succeeded in building their library and Lacey had the opportunity to be President of the Friends of the Library for a very short time, before relocating.
Lacey and her family still live in the White Mountains of Arizona, where she continues to write young adult novels that have a fantasy/fairytale or paranormal bent to them, as well as being sure to include a great romantic storyline

Title Thoughts: Perfect.
Cover Thoughts: I love how it shows the chemistry between them.
WARNINGS: Delicious love.
What can I say? Weatherford just swept me away…again! I love this series and this book did not fail my expectations. There is the sweet love that no one who reads this series can get enough of. There is even further development of that sweet love and mysterious happenings and action. I don't have anything to say that could improve this book. For me, it's perfect as is.
As usual, Weatherford leaves me dying for more and more and MORE. There is no way I could ever get tired of this series or its characters. I love, love, LOVE it. I would like to compare my love for this series to my love for Jessica Park's Flat-Out Love, but FOL is on it's own level all by itself. But I do love this series just as much, I just can't compare the two. If that doesn't say it all, I don't know how to convince you.
Addict's Last Words: Blood of the White Witch will not disappoint fans in any way.
To Buy or To Borrow: This is most definitely a buy for me! Buy yourself a copy right now on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or Smashwords. Go ahead and get paperback because you are going to want a physical copy!

If you haven't read this series yet you really need to!!!!!
Dang I love this series, it is so intense and awesome! Portia and Vance are such great characters and each book is always packed with action and plenty of twists and turns! Plus the scenes between Portia & Vance are generally adorable. However, in this book things are kicked way up!!! There are so many great parts in this book and I am so mad it took me so long to read it (stupid work, lol)! I don't want to give too much away, so I will just say that Portia & Vance are too adorable in this book & Vance's family is crazy! Also in general this book doesn't disappoint and this series gets better with each book, you never know what is going to happen! There were some scenes that really got me in this book too.
I love both Portia & Vance so much! Portia can hold her own, but lets Vance take care of her. And Vance is a macho bad boy (which definitely comes out in this book!), but also incredibly adorable & sweet. He and Portia make such an awesome couple! Their scenes together are always my favorite and there is no shortage of those in this book, lol! Ahh shoot I can't say much more without giving anything away, but I really loved them in this book! The lines between them are awesome too, there are always some really good ones. It just goes to show how perfect they are for each other. They are so young but half the time I don't even realize it. Shelly & Brad are fun characters too!
Okay I could talk about this series all day long, but I really don't want to give anything away so that it is ruined. So I will say that I am super excited to read the next book! Go read this series now because I highly recommend it!

Blood of the White Witch is the third book in the Of Witches and Warlocks series by Lacey Weatherford. This instalment in the series is full of action, passion and love. Best of all, it's set in Scotland.
Portia and Vance are still overcoming their ordeal with Damien Cummings (Vance's father) from The Demon Kiss. Vance decides he wants to dig deeper into the confession that Darcy had made regarding his mother and his father's family. This takes them on a journey to Scotland where they find more than they had bargained for.
I absolutely loved this book. Vance was his usual sexy and awesome self and Portia was sort of taking a bit of a back seat in this story, but we do see her powers developing. This book was more about Vance looking into his family history and Portia, being part of his family, was there every step of the way for support. Sometimes delving into the unknown can lead to good things, but unfortunately for our hero and heroine, something always goes wrong. Vance learns more about why his father was performing the demonic rituals on him when he was a child and the heritage that comes with it. Portia also learns more about herself in this book but what she finds out is the cause for landing her and Vance in their predicament half way through the book.
My heart actually broke at the end of this book. It was such a heart wrenching cliff hanger to be left on but it builds immense suspense and a brilliant set up for the next book in the series, The Dark Rising. My favourite moment in this book had to be when Vance and Portia newly got to Scotland and involves some sexy Scottish attire.
Overall, loved this book and love the series. Vance and Portia's story is timeless and I would recommend everyone to pick the series up and have a go. You won't be disappointed.

Another bewitching hit for Lacey Weatherford!
In this third installment of the series, we find Portia and Vance's relationship leading to an intense and surprisingly new level. Both are extremely young to embark on this huge commitment, but their characters and personalities are definitely old souls so their union seems natural and not questionable. What should be the happiest of days for them quickly turns into a full blown action-adventure when their ongoing search for Vance's mother takes them to Scottland, where he is reunited with his paternal grandparents. When his demonic side resurfaces, Portia and Vance learn this long awaited family reunion is nothing more than a trap and must put their love and lives to the test in order to prevent an ancient evil ritual that will separate them forever, from being performed.
What an emotional roller coaster! There are books that grip you from the first page, pull you into the story and make you forget about your surroundings and Blood of the White Witch did just that. I did not put this one down until I reached the very last page...and even then I wanted more! The relationship between Portia and Vance has never been so intense and solidifies these two are indeed soul-mates. I love their passion and how they stop at nothing to protect their love for one another. We finally see them in an intimate setting and Lacey does a spectacular job in unveiling their first time together...utter perfection!
Portia has definitely grown as a heroine and surprised me with her bold moves and perseverance. Vance is ever the sexy, bad boy hero who you fall in love with all over again. His dark family history is exposed a little deeper in this book and Vance is caught between the family he's always yearned for and his new life with Portia, but always manages to charm you with his strength and choices.
This story is filled with an abundance of emotion, intensity and passion, all while staying true to the young adult audience. That being said, it's also a story that will easily engage adult paranormal romance lovers within the first few pages, due to Ms. Weatherford's eloquent writing style. The events that unfold are never foreseen and the ending will blow your mind. Blood of the White Witch has all the great elements of a captivating story and Lacey Weatherford is a forced to be reckoned with!

Received From: The Author For Review
Vance Mangum and Portia Mullins are teenage soul mates. Due to the dangers of their lives as a witch and warlock, they marry young at the beginning of the story. Their honeymoon in Scotland doubles as a rescue mission for the mother Vance hasn't seen since he was a child. Their leads bring them to the home of Douglas and Fiona Cummings, Vance's wealthy grandparents who stand accused of keeping his mother Krista hostage. The Cummings seem to know nothing of what has happened to his mother of his recently deceased father, their own son. They welcome their long lost grandson into their lives with open arms and Portia and Vance are soon drawn into the Cummings lives of wealth and privilege. But all is not what it appears to be in the Cumming's household. Will Portia and Vance discover the truth before it's too late?
I really enjoy the second book in this series, but I have to say the third installment was a major let down after the previous book. The first quarter of the book might appeal to the pre-teen reader, but as an adult it definitely didn't appeal to me. I finally understand now why romance novelists end the book at the proposal. The wedding and subsequent honeymoon period leads to very dry and boring reading. "I love you" was said so many times it was like listening to a scratched cd stuck on the same line.
They got married and their lives seemed perfect. Yay for them, but frankly as a reader that bored me out of my mind. I know I said the relationship would be more realistic in previous books if it advanced to the next level, but I didn't mean a teen wedding and alluding to the couple have sex every other sentence. On a more comfortable note, we as a reader are at least spared any details of their constant honeymoon sex. We know they're doing it, but the scenes aren't spelled out like in an adult romance.
It didn't help that despite how in love the couple seemed, my mind completely rebelled against a high school wedding. I guess the point was demonstrating the moral idea that marriage should come before sex, but I don't think teens should be encouraged to marry that young for any reason.
The book starts to get interesting after the first quarter, and though I've never said this about a book before I recommend only skimming the first quarter so you don't loose interest in the story. The middle has an interesting plot line beginning to develop and some really good scenes.
What save this book from a bad rating is the last quarter of the novel. The battle scenes are intense, but the raw grief the character feels leaps from the page grabbing you. It yanks you into the pain she feels, giving you no choice but to experience it with her. The emotions and experience of the final quarter of this book are what make this novel worth reading.
The book has an odd, open style end that leaves you wanting to read more of the series curious about what will happen next in the saga of Portia and Vance.
Overall, I can't say this novel was better than okay. The first quarter of the book with all the happy, lovey dovey scenes really killed it for me. If you could cut the first quarter down to just a few pages and picked the book up from the middle, my rating would have been a lot higher. But you spend too long in the beginning waiting for something to actually happen with the plot for me to qualify this novel as good.

*This review will have spoilers if you have not read the previous books in this series
Wow, this was an emotional book! This book starts off with Portia and Vance getting married. Now, Portia is only 16, so this may seem strange. Portia seems older than that though so somehow it just works. Vance and Portia have been waiting for marriage to be intimate, which is really sweet. Not that many teens wait these days. Vance and Portia are soulmates and are just perfect for each other so it was nice to see them finally be intimate with each other even though they are young. I would still consider this a young adult book though - the sex is not graphic at all.
I really enjoy the chemistry that Vance and Portia have. Even though they've been together for awhile, and they've kissed hundreds of times, it is still just as passionate as it was in the beginning. I love how the author is able to keep that passion so strong between these characters.
Once again, Vance and Portia go through a lot of challenging situations together. There were some extremely sad moments that will make you cry. You can't help but feel all these emotions with Portia. There was a major twist at the end of the book that had me stunned. Be prepared for a major cliffhanger. I can't wait to read the 4th and final book in this series!

The Bookish Snob
on April 06, 2011 :
Reading this book was an incredible experience for me. I'd read the first two books The Trouble With Spells and The Demon Kiss and absolutely adored them. By the time I began reading Blood Of The White Witch I was already head over heels for the resident bad boy, Vance Mangum and was absolutely SOLD on the series. In my naivete I felt that the books couldn't possibly get any better because in my mind it was already perfect. I was undeniably WRONG. This book is hands down the best I've read of all three.
Being the emotional reader that I am, my hope is always that a book causes me to feel something, anything whether it's the rush of excitement that comes when a twist reveals itself in the story or the dip in the stomach when the lead guy moves in and claims the girl he loves. I knew that reading this book would be an emotional one but nothing prepared me for how intense it would be or how incredible the pull would be as it completely SUCKED me into the story. I've said before in my reviews of the first two books how they had reached in and held my heart hostage … well those books pale in comparison to the way this book moved me. There were so many twists to the story, so many possibilities. At any given time I was experiencing complete happiness and giddiness for Portia and Vance, shock and horror at some of the situations they found themselves in and complete devastation when the love they had for each other was once again tested almost to its breaking point. All I can do now is sit back and sigh, totally satisfied from being entertained so completely
I loved the way Vance and Portia move together, the way they naturally gravitate towards each other. The more you read through the series, the more you realize how perfect they are for each other and it's really difficult to not think of one without thinking of the other. They are both fiercely protective of each other which is a direct result of the challenges they've faced. They have been through so much and the beginning of the book starts off with a celebration that reminds you have wonderful it is to be in love and I LOVED watching how they were with each other. I loved the message that regardless of whether the sky is falling and the world is on the verge of destruction, there is always time for passion, for tenderness, for devotion. They're definitely one of my top book couples.
Portia is really growing into the role of an amazing lead female. She shows a great strength in character now that she is more confident in her magical abilities and her relationship with Vance. She knows what she wants and what she needs to do to get it. She has complete faith in her love for Vance and does everything she can to protect him. She truly is Vance's equal in this book and it was AMAZING to watch. You need to know that my heart went out to her in this book because I knew that inevitably there's only so much a person can take and only so much they can give before they break. Her limits were constantly being challenged and I appreciated the emotions I felt through her as I was able to get a much better look at the world through her eyes.
Vance Mangum. That really does say it all right? Just the sound of his name should give you an indication of what kind of character he is but if not let me share it with you. He is by far the best bad boy I've found in all of the YA genre. I know that may hurt Dimitri's feelings (resident bad boy from the Vampire Academy series) but I have to call it as I see it. You can't not read Vance and not have your knees weaken even just a little. I love the passion he feels for Portia and his total lack of fear in letting the entire world know how much he adores her. He leaves her with no doubt whatsoever that he is hers and that he would go to the end of the world for her. There were so many scenes in this book that had me totally in love with him and I have to say, as the lover of the evil bad boy – Vance has ALL the potential of driving me completely over the edge into bad boy Heaven. He fights his demon tendencies but still he struggles. The moment his eyes flash that sexy red, I'm swooning and I am DESPERATE to know what happens with him in the next book. There were so many Vance moments I loved in the book but the two that I can safely share without ruining anything is one from the opening chapters where Vance can't take it one moment longer and pulls Portia into an empty room and RAVISHES her up against the wall. Oh yeah incredibly HOT. The other is when they are staying in Scotland and Vance finds himself with a very traditional piece of clothing. Let me whet your appetite a little and say Vance as a Highlander is an unbelievably SEXY image to have. I dare anyone to read the series, especially this book and NOT fall hopelessly in love with him.
When you read this book prepare yourself for the roller coaster. This is Lacey Weatherford at her finest and I'm chomping at the bit to see what she has in store for Portia and Vance. It couldn't possibly get any better could it? If reading this book is anyway to guess, I think book 4 is going to blow me over and seal my fate as one of the greatest fan of the Of Witches & Warlock series. It's a definite drop everything your doing, sell a kidney if you have to, it's that important that you read it book. Enjoy!

My thoughts:
~ short version ~
Yet another wild ride from Lacey Weatherford! We see the same incredible characters in this story that we have come to know and love in the first two books in this series and only come to love them more! Another must read!
Blood of the White Witch is filled with danger, romance, intrigue, trust, deception, and love. The story starts off right where we left off in book two and the plot hits the ground running. Once again Lacey has created a phenomenal story that keeps you turning the pages!
~long version~ (spoiler alert)
I was impressed that Lacey Weatherford was able to create such an intense, emotional, young adult romance without ever losing the integrity of the YA part of that romance. She was able to communicate the tremendous physical attraction between Vance and Portia without being graphic.
I couldn't put this one down! The story has more twists than ever before with the deception and betrayal of more of Vance's family. I was sad when I realized that they were playing on his desire to be a part of a family, although I was expecting them to not be what they seemed to be. So many people in this one are not who and what they appear to be, but we do get to meet new and helpful people in this book too.
The struggle of good against evil continues......
I couldn't put this one down - read it cover to cover in one sitting! Got to the end - devastated! I only wish book 4 was available - I don't know how I will survive the wait!

BOSTON (CBS) – Crews working on renovation of the MBTA's Government Center station found a piece of subway history.
A 100-year-old Scollay Under mosaic was uncovered on the wall of the Blue Line platform.
The MBTA said it plans to keep the mosaic and build around it.
Scollay Under was the stop beneath what used to be Scollay Square where Government Center is now located.
In the lyrics of the song "Charlie on the MTA," the Scollay Square station is where Charlie's wife went every day to hand the stranded commuter his sandwich "as his train goes rumbling through."
Beginning March 22, the Government Center station closed for a major renovation that will include a new entrance, new platforms and a larger fare collection area. The project is expected to take about two years.

On Clint Eastwood's ill-conceived empty chair, in prime time, in front of what is left of the national TV audience President Obama was handed a second chance. There is a thin line between satire and disrespect, and the line has been difficult to find in recent years, but amidst the lies and deceptions of the Republican National Convention, Clint managed to find it and cross it. This talented actor and filmmaker seemed to forget his high school civics. In this country, our president is both the head of the government and the head of state. He is both prime minister and king. Insult the president as head of government all you want, but insult the presidency and you are denigrating the nation and the flag. Anne Romney and the rest of the family sitting in the sky-box knew that line had been breached. Moreover, the post-convention impact of Clint's rant made everyone forget about the convention's carefully calibrated message. Clint's empty chair replaced Mitt's empty suit, creating an opportunity for the president to re-state his case to anyone still listening.
The nastiness of this political season is not without precedent, but its amplification due to the combination of Super PAC money and the Internet is something new and unprecedented. My prediction is that with the exception of parts of the Democratic Convention and the debates, Americans will focus more on the pennant race than the presidential race this October. The public will turn off politics even more than usual. It's going to be like those horrible anti-smoking ads they insist on putting on local TV -- the ones that show the disgusting results of smoking up close and personal. I don't know about you, but I flip the channel the minute they come on. Political ads will suffer the same fate.
The Obama caricature presented by the Republicans at their convention was almost as fictitious as the exercise in sensitivity fraud that formed the other half of the circus in Tampa. Yes, the economy has not fully recovered. That is because the Republican-controlled House and the filibuster-prone Senate refused to act after the banks were bailed out under Bush and the stimulus was enacted by the then Democratic-controlled Congress. On the other hand, the economic free fall begun by the underfinanced Bush wars and the unregulated markets in housing and on Wall Street was stopped and turned around by the Obama administration. The second Great Depression was avoided.
The difference between the first Great Depression and the Great Recession we are struggling to leave is the social safety net the Republicans are determined to dismantle. I mean privatize. The reason we do not have the massive hunger and misery in America that we saw during the 1930s is because we have programs like unemployment insurance, food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare, subsidized housing, free breakfast and lunch in our schools and welfare-to-work programs. The social safety net of the New Deal and the Great Society has survived three decades of attacks from Ronald Reagan to Paul Ryan. They survive because, for all their imperfections, they work and Americans know they are needed. We do not want to see children or the elderly in rags begging on the streets.
Capitalism, which is a wonderful system for creating wealth, new products and improving our quality of life, has two flaws that are easy to fix. One is the boom and bust cycle that causes recessions in the first place. The second is that along with winners it leaves behind some losers. We have the Fed and other mechanisms to smooth out the boom and bust cycle and we have the social safety net to protect the poor. The purpose of the safety net is to put a floor beneath those that lose, and to provide their children with the opportunity to win. The safety net could work a lot better, but it needs to be reformed with great care.
The period of extreme conservatism in American politics has resulted in the reduction of the middle class and a crisis of income distribution. This is not an argument for socialism; some of the economies in Europe tell us what happens when the incentive to work is reduced. We need a balance between compassion and competition -- we need to encourage work while taking care of those who are unable to succeed. We also need to generate enough tax revenue to fund infrastructure, education, research, public safety, effective regulation and the social safety net.
Capitalism does a lot but it does not do everything. For all the talk of family, religion and community we heard at the Republican convention, the invisible creature at the Republican convention seemed to be government itself: the teachers, sanitation workers, cops, firefighters, policy analysts and even the administrators that make our government and its programs work. Government has become a barely tolerated necessary evil. Public service, of the type called for by John F. Kennedy, is an inconvenient reality swept under the rug.
Which brings me to President Obama and his second chance. While it is clear that the president made his share of mistakes during his first term, I think he should be given credit for some important accomplishments. The slow pace of our economic recovery is the main reason his reelection is even in doubt. Fortunately for him, the economy is moving slowly in the right direction, and even more fortunately for him, the Republicans have nominated a team that is radically out of step with the American mainstream. It is not just the Republican platform positions on economic and safety net issues. On issues such as abortion, gay rights, and the social and cultural touchstones that define contemporary American society, Obama seems mainstream and Romney seems weird. Obama seems real, and Romney looks like an android on Star Trek.
So here's Obama's opening and opportunity. America just got a full dose of baloney, out-of-step weirdness and lies. The president and his party must do the opposite. We don't need a song and dance about how everything's great because of President Obama. It's not morning in America. Everything is not awful, but we have big challenges ahead and we need a realistic leader, in touch with reality but still willing to talk about hope and vision. President Obama has a second chance, because the Republicans have handed him a weak, inauthentic, out of touch opponent. Let's see a president who rolls up his sleeves, admits some mistakes, shows real leadership and gets us moving on addressing the challenges before us.

German town claims CO2 reduction record
The German town of Pfaffenhofen in Bavaria has claimed a national first by exceeding a national goal on cutting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Whereas the government is committed to reducing national CO2 levels 25% from 1990 to 2005, Pfaffenhofen has already achieved a 32% cut, according to the national environment agency. The key factor has been a new wood-chip fueled power station, which replaced other generating capacity. The agency described Pfaffenhofen's use of biomass energy as "an example to other municipalities". See German environment agency statement.

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) February 27, 2014
In Pennsylvania, February is officially "Gum Disease Awareness Month"; a statewide effort to draw public attention to the dangers and widespread occurrence of the disease. Many dentists are lending their support to the campaign, including Dr. Stephen Brown of The Perio Group.
"Over 85% of Americans adults suffer from some degree of gum disease," comments Dr. Brown, who sees many periodontal patients at his dental practice in Philadelphia. "Fewer than half of these cases are diagnosed until the disease is already advanced and tooth loss is imminent. People ignore the symptoms or don't know what they mean, and we need to change that."
Mounting university research links gum disease to heart disease, diabetes, stroke, pre-term and stillbirths and certain cancers. It has also been identified as the leading cause of bad breath, bleeding gums and tooth loss.
"I believe that gum disease is an epidemic," says Dr. Brown. "It's not just a public health issue; it's something that has a profound impact on people's lives by affecting their overall wellbeing and self image. I've seen patients who feel ill, who have depressed immune systems, who won't date because of bad breath, or who retire early because their smile wasn't what it once was."
Dr. Brown was the first dentist to introduce LANAP, a laser oriented, alternative to conventional gum surgery, to the Philadelphia area. "We know that periodontal disease is a bacterial infection," Brown says. "Non-invasive laser treatment is now our primary choice for gum disease patients at The Perio Group, replacing older techniques like gum surgery. LANAP addresses the cause of the disease and lets the body's natural healing ability do the rest."
Pennsylvania is one of 28 states that have adopted Gum Disease Awareness Month. In support and recognition of GDAM, Dr. Brown and other dentists in the state are offering complimentary screenings for periodontal disease.
To learn more about gum disease, risk factors, early warning signs and treatment options (including LANAP), visit fightgumdisease.com and get involved on f acebook.com/fightgumdisease and twitter.com/fightgumdisease.
ABOUT GUM DISEASE AWARENESS MONTH: Gum Disease Awareness Month is an annual event targeted at sharing information and spreading awareness of the risk factors, signs and symptoms, and treatment options available in the fight against gum disease as well as encouraging a higher standard of dental health. The initiative is supported by the Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry, a non-profit educational and research center dedicated to providing evidence-based clinical training in laser dentistry therapies.
Dr. Stephen Brown is Professor of Periodontics at the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University Schools of Dentistry, is the Director of the Dental Implant Center at Albert Einstein Medical Center, and is certified by the American Board of Periodontology. To contact Dr. Brown, call 215-735-3660 or visit his website at http://www.theperiogroup.com.

Steve always brings a wonderful smile. He is a wonderful person and a friend to the customers. We love your coffee, cold water bottle and the snacks while waiting for our vehicles.
Allen1 year agoThe entire team was professional. Several people helped me to complete my Porsche Delaware experience. It all started with Adrian, the GM, who was candid, professional, and extremely conscious of my limited time. He made sure I got all the support I needed to complete the sale and get out the door. Then there was Alpesh. He was busy with another customer considering I was late, but I was happy that he managed to step away to ensure that I was being well taken care of. Another salesman helped out by getting my insurance information and a copy of my license. This was a total team experience even right down to the finance guy and Ray, the young man who cleaned the car up for my arrival. I was inpresssed.
Daniel1 year agoThey are extremely friendly and really make an effort to answer all my questions and concerns involving my Porsche. They are very competitive on prices and labour rates.
Vinny a1 year agoTHIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC!!! I had a 2011 911s, in excellent condition. I live in New Hampshire and started out with the Porsche dealers here and worked my way south. After every Porsche dealer in NH, MA, CT, NY and NJ tried to steal my car I talked to Jamie from Porsche Deleware. From the start it was very easy to communicate, very nice and offered me what my car was really worth. The Porsche 911 c4s that I was purchasing was also very fairly priced. My next concern was, I'm driving 7 hours, will the car be different then advertised? Jamie gave me a thorough run down on the car and it was better then what I anticipated. My last concern was were they going to trap me at the dealership for hours like I had been in the past at another place. Jamie assured me I'd be in and out. Once again he delivered as promised. I was in and out of there in around 30 minutes. Overall I would say it was the best car buying experience I have ever had and there have been many. I will 100% make the trip down there again for my next Porsche.
Jj2 years agoAlways so simple and quick to get my car looked at and serviced.
Jay Acosta2 years agoThe purchase of my 911 S was smooth and exceptional. The team at Porsche is knowledgeable, courteous and they are thorough professionals. It was a joy to to deal with such great individuals. Sean, David and Brandon are fantastic and they made my experience such a pleasure.
Mindyg1 month agoI just got my Cayman S and I worked with Dave Szymanski he was incredibly professional and competent.

I highly recommend working with Dave he is amazing and this is a fantastic dealership.

Brandon was awesome! From answering my questions, sending me photos, texting me with updates, having the car ready on arrival and all the way through the purchase process. We were in at 10.15 and out by 12.30 with the car! Very happy with this experience. This is my 13th car and b y far the most pleasant. Highly recommend!

ian wright2 years agoEasy to book, great staff, very helpful and straightforward communications. So good I hardly even looked at the bill! Sales staff (Niccole) also extremely helpful.
DS CAYMAN2 years agoNicole was exceptional, my experience could not have been better. She was knowledgable, patient, and very outgoing, the entire experience was relaxing and zero pressure. Felt like I was sitting in my living room hanging out with friends. Sean too was very helpful and a critical part of making the deal work for me. See you for the next one. Sincerely Daniel Shea by the way this car is AWESOME, WOW
Boxster3042 years agoI was very pleased with the service provided by Mike Adams. He has always been very professional and honors his commitments. Mike is very knowledgeable and provides excellent advice on how best to maintain my Boxster in optimum operating condition. I trust Mike- which unfortunately is something I can rarely say today when it comes to car service and repair.

Don McNamara's inspiration to write children's American Sign Language books started in 2007, a year he was relieved to see end.
In January that year, his wife died suddenly of a cranial aneurism. Regina McNamara had just turned 51, and the couple were celebrating 30 years together.
Later that year, granddaughter Abigail was born. Just days after her birth, she contracted a virus that attacked her nervous system. Her diagnosis, quadriplegic cerebral palsy, left her able to hear, but not talk.
No, that's not all of it.
Abigail's older sister, Alyssa, is also disabled after complications at her birth left her "globally delayed" and unable to talk.
Nothing in McNamara's lifelong career as a special agent with the U.S. Department of Defense prepared him for such heartache.
"I was a 'certified tough guy,' and then all this stuff happened and I thought, 'I'm not so tough,' " said McNamara, who spends his winters in Tucson and summers in Syracuse, N.Y.
Yet after a while, after leaning on family and friends for support, he decided he'd had enough sorrow and pain.
"You try to solve problems as an agent," he said. "The first thing they teach you in law enforcement is to search for the truth."
So, McNamara decided to apply those concepts to his personal life and focus on what he could do. He longed to help his granddaughters, and to communicate with them more, and so he began to teach himself to sign.
Next came the idea for the books.
"Fun With Abby & Alyssa" was first published in December 2011 and includes six books that revolve around everyday events such as preparing for bed or visiting the zoo.
"I thought, 'If they fail miserably, at least the girls can go to the library and say, 'My grandfather wrote that book about me,' " he said.
The books are not failing.
Both Tucson Medical Center and Diamond Children's Medical Center are using them, he said.
Libby Quinn, of Sign With Baby Tucson, which teaches sign language to parents and children, said McNamara's books are "great for preschool-aged children and beginning readers."
Quinn said the books are "very child-centric." She likes both the topics he chooses and the illustrations, which were done by Liam Gooley, the son of one of McNamara's lifelong friends.
Coincidentally, another of McNamara's childhood friends, Marty Fox, is a board member and outgoing CEO of Tucson's Playability Toys. The company focuses on children with special needs and now carries McNamara's books.
"I'm certainly happy to be in a position to be able to help him with distributing his books to those who can benefit from them," said Fox, who attended high school with McNamara in Syracuse.
"I love the books," he said. "We all do here."

Victor M. Genco, Sr.
1937 - 2017
Obituary of Victor Genco, Sr.
Victor Mariano Genco Sr
May 3, 1937-September 25, 2017 (80 years of age)
Victor M. Genco Sr. passed away on September 25, 2017 after a battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, the former Diane Mackie, their three adult children: Cheryl Lynott, Victor M. Genco Jr., Francis Genco Sr, and 4 grandchildren.
Victor was born and raised in New Brunswick, New Jersey and received his Bachelors and Masters Degree in teaching from Monmouth University. Victor started his career as a teacher in New Jersey simultaneously getting married to Diane and starting a family together. He and Diane later relocated their family from New Jersey to the Pocono Mountains in 1972, to create a better life.
He served his community as a school teacher in the Pocono Mountain School District, teaching math and history. He was also a local entrepreneur having started, or taken over, several businesses in the various communities of the Pocono's. The Casino Theatre of Mount Pocono, Gaslight Restaurant and Lounge of East Stroudsburg, and Pocono Mountain Fudge Factory are all notable examples of his leadership in the community in creating local jobs and enhancing the economic development of Monroe County.
Victor will be sadly missed by his family and friends. However, his tenacious personality and adventurous spirit has been passed through his children to his adult grandchildren who have all graduated from universities and are local leaders in their own right or serve our country from Washington DC, Seattle WA, Anchorage AK, and Guam.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, September 30 at St Ann's Catholic Church in Tobyhanna, PA. Visitation will start at 9:00 AM with a funeral mass beginning at 10:00 AM.
The family has asked that in lieu of flowers donations be made to: Compassionate Care Hospice Foundation, 237 East Brown Street, East Stroudsburg, PA 18301.

Market Name(s): Lingcod, ling.
Max Size: 90 lbs
Avg. Size: 10-20 lbs Avg. Size
FRESH & FROZEN: H&G fish (collar-on), skinless, pinbone-in fillets, pinbone-out fillets and portions.
Fresh lingcod held at 32°F in ice has a shelf life of up to seven days. Frozen H&G and fillets held at -5 to -15°F will last a year.
This lean, white fish is similar to halibut in its culinary attributes. The firm, snow-white flesh is delicious in fish and chips, and is quite popular along the West Coast. It is also good baked with a topping such as a sun-dried tomato sauce. Ling Cod can also be grilled with excellent results.
It may not be a cod or a ling, but a lingcod is an exceptionally good-eating fish, a favorite of West Coast chefs, many of whom prefer it to halibut. Lingcod probably were named by European fishermen who thought the long, thin fish looked like their native ling and had the white flesh of a cod. Equipped with an impressive set of teeth and a huge mouth, lingcod are exceptionally voracious feeders, who are normally found near rock piles and kelp beds.
Found from Alaska to California, lingcod are actually members of the greenling family (Hexagrammidae), which includes sculpins and scorpionfish.
Although lingcod can reach 90 pounds, the average size in the commercial catch runs between 10 and 15 pounds.
Lingcod are caught mainly as a bycatch of other fisheries, although there is a small directed fishery in the summer in Southeast Alaska, where fishermen drag "dingle bars" (a solid steel bar with jigs trailing behind it) just off the bottom.
Catches of lingcod have dropped significantly this decade, due to pressure from both commercial and sport fishermen. Currently, annual catches are less than 4,000 tons, more than half of which comes from British Columbia. Off the West Coast and Alaska, about 1,000 tons of lingcod are landed.
The quality—and the price—of lingcod will vary depending upon the method of harvest. The best lingcod is caught by hook-and-line boats that bleed and ice their fish immediately after it is caught.
Since the Alaska and B.C. halibut and sablefish fisheries went to an ITQ system in 1995, the availability and quality of lingcod caught as a bycatch in these fisheries has improved, as longliners now have the time and incentive to take care of lingcod and sell it fresh.
As a rule, trawl-caught lingcod is seldom bled, however if the fish is chilled and delivered in a few days its quality will still be fine, although its flesh will not be as white as a longline fish that was promptly bled.
Some lingcod, especially smaller fish caught near shore, will have an odd bluish-green tinge to their fish. Although it can be alarming to consumers, this fish will cook up just as white as any lingcod.

September 13-16, 2018
Lexington, Kentucky
Curtain call for the Wild Women of Poetry at #KWWC2017: (left to right) headliner Olivia Gatwood, slammers Raych Jackson, Native Child Brown, Shay Alexi, Christina Boyd, Talicha J. and Lyric Leslie, with emcee Tyneka TSmilez McDaniel. Congrats to Talicha J. for winning the Faith A. Smith Poetry Prize and to first runner-up Raych Jackson. Huge thanks to our amazing sold-out audience of diverse people who appreciate spoken word.
We're thrilled to announce that in 2017 the Wild Women of Poetry Slam returns to the Downtown Arts Center on Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017, 7:30 p.m., with headliner and celebrity judge Olivia Gatwood, emcee TSmilez, and a line-up of 6 spoken word artists from across the United States:
These poets will compete for the Faith A. Smith Poetry Prize. The Faith A. Smith Poetry Prize, established in 2011 by Kentucky poet Frank X Walker in honor of his mother, is awarded to the winner of Wild Women of Poetry Slam. It carries a $500 cash award, and an existing prize of $200 is awarded to the runner-up, making the slam one of the most generous in the country, also furnishing a small stipend, a travel reimbursement, and conference passes to every competitor. The event is free admission, and an open mic at 7 p.m. will precede the competition. To sign up for the open mic, please contact Slam Coordinator email@example.com.
Frank X Walker co-founded the Affrilachian Poets, is former Poet Laureate of Kentucky, and a Professor of English at the University of Kentucky. "I wanted to support the Gypsy Slam because anywhere there are women speaking with that much courage and conviction, it reminds me of my mother. She was a multi-disciplinary artist who celebrated creativity and social justice, and it's easy for me to imagine all the energy she and her fellow female Pentecostal ministers exhibited from the pulpit being redirected at a poetry slam that features women. She was always ahead of her time. She used to say that she was raising me to be a minister until she came to one of my poetry readings and decided that she had accomplished her goal."
