GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
FIVE more days! Thank goodness, as this year has been the total opposite of last year at Lufkin under the leadership (or lack of) Principal Sinders. The only thing I can say she's good at is delegating...she doesn't return emails, phone calls, promises made, etc. Oh, she's also very good at moving teachers around from one subject and grade to another...even the tenured teachers who have mastered their curriculum. I'm not sure what awards program the reviewer below this attended, but I have to agree that it was a mess and the principal did neglect to recognize an entire group of students. My child was one of them!
I personnally attended the awards program. I thought that the awards program and dance afterwards was a nice way to recognize the achievement of the 8th grade students. Congratulations to the 8th grade students, teachers and administrative team. I think Principal Sinders has done a great job in her first year at Lufkin Road Middle School!
Great teachers who give sufficient homework that related to what their students learned in class. I especially like the study guides they provided to their students to help them prepare for the quizzes or tests. Furthermore, the regular tests they provided help the students to keep up with what they learned. Language Art writing assignments were interesting and challenging for my son. School environment is great and promote learning. We like this school a lot. My son especially won't miss classes and always looking forward to go to school.
This was our first year at Lufkin and we liked it very much. My child LOVES all her teachers and likes the other kids. After experiencing 2 other middle schools (with older children), it seems Lufkin has practically no discipline problems or disruptive students in class. I also feel like the work is challenging but relevant. The only drawback I see is the lack of electives that other middle schools might have.
This year was a nightmare. I agree with other comments posted below about Tr 3. We will not be coming back next year.
Lufkin Road Middle School had a reputation of being top notch, with encouraging, happy teachers her were eager to inspire greatness in their students every day. The same can not be said this year, especially of the teachers on Track 3. Either they aren't receiving positive support from above or their light has burned out and they are just ticking off the days. This is our second year here and it is a disappointment compared to last year and years passed. Putting in request for transfer; something we never though we'd do after last year's success. I'd steer clear of Band as an elective, unless you don't mind playtime as a class period.
im on track 4 grade 7 and i love the teachers and everyone!! my friends are great! i was new this year and i really enjoy Lufkin Road Middle School and adding on to all the fun and excitement, they have a large variety of activities and clubs to join!
The teachers are nice, funny, and they try and do their best to help me learn as much as possible. Lufkin is great! :)
My daughter attends Lufkin and I am very impressed with the school. The principal articulates a clear and focused goal: preparing students to excel in high school. He clearly understands middle-schoolers and education which inspires great confidence. He is highly approachable, yet holds himself, his staff and his students to a high standard. My daughter's teachers have challenged her to reach beyond her own expectations. There have been moments that she's felt overwhelmed. But, she is seeing hard work pay off and gaining cofidence and competence that she never new she had.
In comparison to other schools we've attended in the area, LRMS was heaven. Our son will be moving on to high school in the fall and overall his experiences at Lufkin have been enjoyable. Starting out, we did have some young inexperienced teachers but they were not ineffective. We had no major problems at LRMS; 7 & 8 grade years, our son had several male teachers and they were great role models and seemed to care a great deal about the students.
This is our first year at Lufkin and we have been extremely impressed with the teachers. My work load for my 6th grader is challenging, fun, and manageable. I think the variety of work gives opportunities to meet the needs of kids with different leaning styles. The kids all seem to get along and enjoy school.
Lots of the teachers are young and inexperienced. Not having kids of their own I dont think they understand the parents viewpoint at all. We have noticed some are really good but some are REALLY bad! I agree that the people skills are lacking. I do think the new principal is good. I would love to name teachers names here but probably not appropriate. I will say my issues have been with 7th grade teachers. Our 6th grade staff was good.
I have never seen so much busy work sent home for my child to do!! She has more homework and projects than I ever did in college. The worst part is that she is not learning from this. She is in a get it over with because they keep piling it on attitude!! What the heck are they doing all day in class?? I don't mind her doing some reinforcing of material learned in class but she is doing most of her learning at home and guess who is the teacher?!! If you care about your kid and want to be an advocate and not have a stressed out tween.....get them out of this school. I might add the assistant principal for track 4 is dismissive. The new principal has his work cut out for him with a staff that has NO people skills. Good luck...I plan to transfer my kid.
Most of the teachers are great. They are dedicated to helping the students achieve their best. The students are held accountable for their actions, which is a hard transition for some.
I have 2 children attending Lufkin and I cannot say enough about the quaility of education they are receiving. The teachers have high expectation and teach the children how to meet the high expectations, the teachers truly know and care about my children and the principal is outstanding. My only concern with Lufkin is the sports program. The athletic director does not seem to be very organized or well versed in what makes a youth sports team successful.
Math and Science were a weak subject. Never saw a science book and had to teach my daughter her math. The principal is new and hopefully will correct these problems. He is a sharp and very nice man.
Lufkin was the worst experience of my daughter's education. Her science and math were inconsistent and under par. Useless'projects' were piled on and added nothing to her education. Had she stayed home and slept for 3 years, her first year of high school would have been the same. We were the first students at Lufkin and the admininistration allowed the Apex High students to bully, berate, and intimidate our children. My daughter saw more sexual explicit behavior because of this. She missed the bus multiples times because Apex High students would not move so she could get out the door to the bus. Where was the admin? I asked again and again. Things changed ever so slightly when I called the superintendant. Overall, I think hate is a mild word for how I feel about Lufkin.
I agree with the other parents. There are too many silly useless projects assigned. What ever happened to sending home a science book to read along with a list of questions to answer? Where are the books? My child has no clue as to why he is doing half of these pojects. There is also too much work due on Fridays. This C Day plan is not working. The teachers are not talking to one another as we were told they would. There are written projects in all classes due that day and tests and quizes as well. I would like to see all test given on Monday and Tuesdays so the children have the entire weekend to study. There is no time on Thursday nights with all the work that is due. These teachers need to start talking to each other and coordinate the workload better.

A Dad's Perspective...Posted On Monday, June 06, 2011 by Todd |
I generally like telling horror stories, but this one is hard to tell. I always end up trying to reassure people that what happened at the end of my wife's second pregnancy is very rare, but then I have to admit that I have met many women who suffered from preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome. So it's not so uncommon. And worse, it seems inexplicable. My wife was seven months pregnant with our second child and it was the week after we had thrown her a baby shower and a few days after another favorable doctor's visit. She told me she felt like she was catching a cold or something, and she went to bed saying she was ready for this pregnancy to hurry up and be over. Our first pregnancy was marred by minor scares throughout the process, but then once the baby was born, everything was obviously okay, and we had just been nervous. Really the worst of it was my wife's depression that first year, and my inability to see it for what it was. We promised ourselves we would take action at the first sign of postpartum depression after this next one, which was a very smooth pregnancy with all of those little concerns nicely absent. In fact, her catching a cold or some respiratory infection near the end of her pregnancy almost seemed par the course, but our guard wasn't completely down. I called to check in with her throughout my day at work, but she didn't pick up. She had told me that morning that she might go to see a doctor if her cold got worse. After lunch, I called our friend Anna to see if she had been able to reach my wife, Jennifer, which she had. Anna said that she had sounded awful (awful as in "you have a cold, you need chicken soup" awful) and that she would bring dinner for us that night. Perfect, I told Anna, as I would be a bit late getting home from a busy Friday at work. I was driving home slowly in gridlock Los Angeles traffic after 7 p.m. when I got the first call that something was up. Anna was at our house, and no one seemed to be home. I told her perhaps Jennifer had picked up our 4-year-old son from preschool and taken him to dinner. And then the preschool called: Why hadn't anyone picked up our 4-year-old son? I called Anna back and told her to try to break into the house, and then I started driving on the shoulder of the interstate. Anna discovered a side door to the garage we had forgotten to lock since the baby shower. I arrived ten minutes later, and Anna immediately handed me her cellphone with 9-1-1 on the line. We watched my wife convulsing in a seizure on the kitchen floor, her skin reddish purple, her eyes bulging, her tongue bitten and swelling out of her mouth. Her convulsions stopped just as the paramedics arrived. She was rushed to the nearby hospital in an ambulance while I followed quickly in my car. Two hours later, a nurse passed me in the hallway carrying what I thought was a dishrag into the NICU. She was carrying my 3-pound son. In the recovery room, I sat with Jennifer most of the night, where I talked to her and held her hand. She didn't wake up until the next day in intensive care, but she stayed on the respirator until the day after that. Before I was able to speak to her, they had moved our newborn to another hospital with a larger NICU. When we finally had a conversation, she described her illness as a mounting headache with disorientation leading to the inability to find the phone, and she remembered falling in the kitchen more than once. She spent a week in intensive care recuperating from complications including pneumonia, sepsis, and ARDS in addition to HELLP syndrome. She would return a year later to the hospital for surgery on her shoulder related to the seizures and falls. I spent that first week going back and forth between visiting the baby in a Burbank hospital and seeing my wife in a Mission Hills hospital. After Jennifer was released, we spent three more weeks going to the NICU to see the baby. Once he was released there were more precautions taken for his health and development than had been necessary with our first child, but on the whole, we're a very lucky and healthy family now. However, the experience was scarring. The near death of half the family from out of the blue, from a disease stemming from the birth process itself is, needless to say, troubling. A few of our friends were so shaken I believe they distanced themselves from us because the event was so jarring, while others became closer still. In 2010, we participated in the Promise Walk for the Preeclampsia Foundation in San Diego, and I remember two doctors speaking. One doctor thanked everyone for doing something to try to solve the problem of preeclampsia when many people might not want to dwell on such a catastrophic event in their lives that for many end in tragedy. I know that I am one of those lucky ones who would rather not think about the most horrific, soul-shaking moment in my life. But I don't want anyone else to have to go through what we did, and if telling my story helps spread information or interest to help find the cure for such problems, then it's worth it. |
After surviving a very traumatic first pregnancy with a nightmare delivery (30 hours of magnesium-induced hell, ending in an emergency c-section) and even more debilitating recovery, one would think I was DONE having children. Let's be ...

Coverage: ESPN/WatchESPN
8:00 PM ET, February 17, 2012
Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA
Top Performers
Dallas: D. Nowitzki 28 Pts, 12 Reb, 2 Ast
Philadelphia: N. Vucevic 16 Pts, 7 Reb, 1 Stl, 1 Blk
PHILADELPHIA -- Dirk Nowitzki nearly did enough in the second half to beat the 76ers on his own.
Nowitzki scored 24 points after halftime, matching Philadelphia's total, and the Dallas Mavericks erased a 15-point deficit to beat the Sixers 82-75 on Friday night.
Nowitzki finished with 28 points and 12 rebounds, but he took over early in the third, knocking down shots from awkward angles and sinking the type of clutch shots worthy of the star player on the defending NBA champions. His five baskets in the third quarter were one more than Philadelphia's total -- on 14 fewer shots.
The All-Star led the Mavericks on a crushing 19-2 run. He hit a pair of 3s during the spurt to put Dallas ahead by three. He shook off a woeful first half in a big way, going 5 for 6 for 12 points.
"I had a couple go in, and we all know when a shooter sees a couple go in, the confidence goes up," Nowitzki said. "I knew in the second half I was going to come out and keep firing. I'm glad they went in."
So are the Mavericks.
Dominique Jones added 12 points, and Jason Kidd had nine points, nine rebounds and eight assists to help the Mavericks win their sixth straight game. Dallas snapped a tie early in the fourth with a 9-0 run, and that was more than enough with the 76ers losing their touch in the second half.
Reserve Nik Vucevic had 16 points to lead the Sixers, who missed 13 of 14 attempts from 3-point range.
"We just never could get anything offensively generated in the second half," coach Doug Collins said.
Lou Williams hit a jumper at the buzzer to give the Sixers eight points in the quarter and a 61-59 deficit. Philly missed 16 of 20 shots in the third and scored a season low for points in a quarter.
The Mavericks know how to hold on to a lead, improving to 18-1 when leading at the start of the fourth.
"Tonight was all about grit and guts and 13 guys being together and getting the job done," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said.
The Sixers beat everyone from the East-leading Bulls to Atlanta, Orlando and the Los Angeles Lakers in building a nice lead in the Atlantic Division.
They blew their chance in a big way to add the defending NBA champions to the list.
The veteran Mavericks have eight players with at least 10 years of NBA experience. Nowitzki, Kidd, Vince Carter and Shawn Marion have hit big shots and won big games at every level of the postseason, while the Sixers' nucleus is mostly 25 and younger.
But they played like seasoned pros early against Dallas for a half, dishing out 14 assists on 20 buckets in the first half and committing only one turnover. Lavoy Allen had six points and six rebounds in the first quarter, while Vucevic made his first five shots and finished the half with 12 points.
Elton Brand's lone block led to a fast-break dunk for Williams and a 13-point lead. The Sixers took a 51-37 lead into halftime and appeared in control.
Dallas had the experience edge -- just not the shooting one. Nowitzki missed nine of 11 shots and Marion was 1 of 7 in the first half. In crunch time, however, the Mavs know they can count on their All-Stars to bail them out. The Sixers had no one step up in the fourth with a needed basket or key stop.
"We took advantage of our depth and our experience," Dallas owner Mark Cuban said.
The 76ers needed more of each.
Philadelphia's starting backcourt of Jodie Meeks and Jrue Holiday combined to go 0 for 12 from the floor for three points.
"We had a look on our faces of concern, and we have to do a better job of getting out of those funks like that," Sixers forward Andre Iguodala said. "It kind of lingered with us. It's a learning experience."
Nowitzki turned around after each shot in the third with a fist pump or big yell as he brought the Mavs back. All 12 of his rebounds were defensive.
"It's always a fun place to play," Nowitzki said.
Game notes
76ers C Spencer Hawes is wearing a boot on his left foot and will visit a specialist in California over the All-Star break. He's been bothered by an Achilles' heel strain. ... Jason Terry (personal) and Delonte West (broken finger) sat out for Dallas. ... Phillies slugger Ryan Howard was at the game.

Buxton: Microsoft starting to get design
LAS VEGAS--When Bill Buxton talks about good product design, his favorite example is the Avalanche beacon he takes with him on his ice climbing expeditions.
"It's a technology that I bet my life on," Buxton said. "How many (of those) do we have?"
The product he said is fairly complex to do and yet the market for it is small. "Precisely because of that, there are no frills. You don't add features. There are no gratuitous features."

Varaluz Fascination Collection
Breathtaking…that's what came to mind when we saw the ruins of an old Nevada mine at sunset. The walls had been constructed of wine bottles and mud. All those old bottles arranged so perfectly and capturing the sunlight, what better inspiration for a lighting family? We mimicked the bottle ends with recycled steel circles of varying sized filled with recycled glass discs. Rarely before has a design based in "old" seemed so powerfully new.

As someone who grew up in Ottumwa, and is back there over christmas break, Ottumwa is the worst town in the state. And I've been all over (Fort Dodge, Marshalltown, Keokuk, etc)
There definitely needs to be different categories based on population. I've lived in Marshalltown most of my life so every small town seems worse to me. I'm used to having places to eat, places open 24 hours, places for everything I need. How about a 4A, 3A, 2A, 1A breakdown.

The AS220 Mission
We, the people of Rhode Island, associate ourselves for the purpose of providing a local forum and home for the arts, through the maintenance of residential and work studios, galleries, performance and educational spaces. Exhibitions and performances in the forum will be unjuried, uncensored and open to the general public. Our facilities and services are made available to all artists who need a place to exhibit, perform, or create their original artwork, especially those who cannot obtain space to exhibit or perform from traditional sources because of financial or other limitations.
AS220 was founded in 1985 on the principle that freedom of expression is crucial for the development of strong communities and individual spirits. AS220′s vision for a local unjuried and uncensored forum for the arts was launched in a one-room rental above the Providence Performing Arts Center with a budget of just $800. Today, the non-profit owns – and enlivens – three mixed-use buildings, totaling over 100,000 square feet, in the heart of Providence's downtown. Though sizable, AS220 is bursting at the seams with: four rotating gallery spaces, a performance space, a youth program, a recording studio, a print shop, a darkroom and media arts lab, a high-tech fabrication and electronics lab, a black-box theatre, a dance studio, four dozen affordable live/work studios, an AS220 owned and operated bar and restaurant, plus a handful of locally-grown non-profit and commercial tenants. AS220′s facilities and services are available to any artist who needs a place to exhibit, perform, or create original work and its classes and public-access studios are among the most affordable in the nation. Each year, AS220 serves over 1,000 artists, reaching an audience 90,000 strong – and growing.
AS220 has earned a national reputation synonymous with an egalitarian, accessible approach to creative community – offering an alternative to the obstacles of conventional presenting venues. We provide an inclusive forum for any and all Rhode Island artists to share their original artwork embracing the full spectrum of the arts: theatre, dance, poetry, photography, music, printmaking, creative "hacking", painting, puppetry, and beyond. AS220 is credited as a national model for urban revitalization and has been recognized nationally for its catalytic role in the revitalization of downtown Providence. We recently completed our 3rd, award-winning historic restoration project bringing us to a total of 100,00 square feet of lively, mixed-use space. Each of our buildings is comprised of a vibrant blend of local, one-of-a-kind retail, non-profit office, and arts-related program spaces including galleries, performance venues, and public-access art studios. Each year, AS220 serves over 1,000 artists and is destination for upwards of 93,000 people.

On Election Day, as I headed to my office to watch the returns, I stopped to pick up some Chinese carryout.
Later in the evening, I popped open my fortune cookie and the little ribbon of paper read: "Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought."
I wish it would have been an apt credo to describe this election cycle, but if you watched any television over the past couple of months, you know how distorted things became.
This column will serve as a kind of table of contents for other columns I'll be writing over the next six weeks as we analyze what happened in 2012.
So here are some thoughts:
1. Our next governor, Republican Mike Pence, ran and won with an entirely positive campaign. In fact, this is the third winning gubernatorial campaign in a row that did so, following Gov. Mitch Daniels' two campaigns in 2004 and 2008.
Pence saw a double digit polling lead slip down to a 4 percent victory as Democrat John Gregg tried to lash Pence to the Tea Party and embattled Senate nominee Richard Mourdock. To be fair to Gregg, both charges were true. Pence had run and lost two negative campaigns for Congress in 1988 and 1990. He knew the risks of doing this in 2012. He should be applauded for winning the way he did.
2. The Mourdock Senate campaign was a disaster. The Tea Party movement overwhelmed the Indiana Republican primary and jettisoned U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar. After Mourdock's primary victory, he should have retooled his message to attract Lugar voters, independents and women. Instead, he doubled down on his partisan rhetoric and in doing so, alienated those aforementioned groups.
To win in Indiana — even if it is a "red state" — you still have to attract independents and a sliver of the other party. Exit polling shows that Lugar would have easily defeated Joe Donnelly. But in his race against Mourdock, Donnelly won 14 percent of the Republican vote, 49 percent of the independents (compared to 40 percent for Mourdock) and a majority of the female vote. He lost to Donnelly 50 to 44 percent with Libertarian Andrew Horning coming in at 6 percent. Essentially, Indiana Republicans kicked away a U.S. Senate seat.
3. Mourdock's "God intends" remark at the New Albany debate damaged other Republicans. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney had cut a TV ad endorsing Mourdock just before his rape remark in the debate blew up his campaign. The Mourdock quote hounded him the rest of the way.
In the final days of the presidential race, President Obama's campaign ran ads in Virginia and Colorado featuring the Mourdock quote. Romney lost both states by tiny margins. Pence had called for Mourdock to apologize, then seemed to backtrack and was forced to defend the Senate nominee in the final weeks of the campaign. That was another reason why Pence's lead shrunk.
4. The current campaign finance system is equally disastrous. When it's all counted up, there will probably be more than $30 million spent on the Senate race, with most of the money coming in from the Super PACs like Club For Growth, FreedomWorks, Americans For Prosperity, Majority PAC and other special interest groups.
Donnelly observed, "Here's what I found so inspiring: You had groups who decided the Indiana Senate seat was a piece of property and they were going to take it. And the people of Indiana said this is not a piece of property. This is ours. And we're going to determine this election, thank you very much."
I asked Donnelly if he would work on legislation that change the campaign finance system.
"It is broken," he said of the Supreme Court decisions on Citizens United and SpeechNow.org. "The Supreme Court decision brought us this system that simply doesn't work, that has tried to take elections out of the hands of the people of our state. If we can make some reforms in that, I think that would be a tremendous service to everybody."
We need to support Donnelly on these efforts.
5. Indiana now has two female members of Congress serving together for the first time in history. Republicans Jackie Walorski and Susan Brooks are helping to shatter the glass ceiling in Congress for the Republican Party. This process has been under way at the Statehouse since 2003 with three successive female lieutenant governors in Kathy Davis, Becky Skillman and next, Sue Ellspermann. Now it is continuing at the federal level and it should inspire women at all levels to get involved and run for office.
6. Democrat Glenda Ritz's upset of Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett opens a new era of campaigning. She raised only about $250,000, compared to more than $1.5 million for Bennett, who spent most of his money on TV.
But network affiliate TV viewership is in rapid decline, and Ritz campaign operative Dave Galvin designed a social media program using Twitter and Facebook that looped in scores of teachers who were upset with the Bennett reforms.
Ritz pulled off an astounding upset and became a campaign pioneer.

A split thumb is a common congenital (at birth) difference where a child is born with two thumbs or parts of two thumbs. It is a variation of polydactyly. This is not normally passed through the family.
Treatment involves surgical reconstruction—normally around age 1—to create a single thumb and enhance function.

If you live north of Interstate 70, don't look for rain this weekend or early next week. If you live south of I-70, there might be a chance of showers Sunday or Monday.
An advancing rain-producing system looks as though it will shift south of the region, Storm Center 7 Chief Meteorologist Jamie Simpson said Thursday night.
Otherwise, temperatures expected to be in the 70s for Friday will fall into the mid- to high-60s through the weekend and into Monday.

Morningside College to preserve, make available online old campus newspapers
Morningside College recently obtained funding to preserve and make available online its campus newspapers, which go back more than 100 years.
The project will allow the college to create preservation-quality microfilm, which will be used to create a digitized version of the Collegian Reporter (CR). The online newspapers will be keyword searchable and made available to the public through Morningside's website. It also provides funding for the college to store the original campus newspapers in archival-quality folders and boxes.
It all started when Kent Watkins, who attended Morningside in the 1950s and served as managing editor of the CR, suggested that the college consider digitizing the campus newspaper and making it available on the Internet. He made a donation, and that support helped the college obtain a grant from the State Historical Society of Iowa Historical Resource Development Program.
"I wanted to help make the knowledge base that the CR represents more accessible to the rest of the world," Watkins said. "I think it's part of my small payback to Morningside College."
The first campus newspaper at Morningside College was published in 1897. Famous student writers over the years have included Esther and Pauline Friedman, who were better known as advice columnists Ann Landers and Abigail Van Buren, and W.L. Harding, who went on to serve as governor of Iowa.
"Campus newspapers tell us a lot about the history of an institution: they document the perspectives of the student body and the issues faced by students, faculty and staff, and reflect the topics being debated by the culture at large," said Christie Vos, adjunct librarian at Morningside. "They also tell us about the activities and achievements of individual students - information that may not be available anywhere else."
Vos said she hopes for the CRs to be available online in the fall of 2012. Right now she is doing an inventory of the college's collection of campus newspapers. She is noting which issues are missing, as well as the condition of the newspapers that the college does have. Based on what she finds, she will be seeking specific issues to help complete Morningside's collection. The results of the inventory will be published on the project blog at digitizethecr.wordpress.com.

Love story contest winners: Gary Halperin and RoseAnne McCabe
Date: February 14, 2013
by: Yaryna Klimchak | Community Editor
Gary Halperin and RoseAnne McCabe comfortably chat with each other in their tidy Sarasota living room. A piano sits on one side: McCabe is a musician and plays bass with the Sarasota Orchestra. Halperin is a yoga instructor and helps care for their three children, Madeline, 9, Hannah, 6, and Megan 5. A mini-van sits in their driveway; their home radiates a sense of family.
They say fate brought them together 12 years ago when they both moved to Greensboro, N.C., around the same time. They met through a mutual friend, the conductor of the Greensboro Symphony.
"It just seemed like chance that we all ended up in Greensboro together," she says.
In 1999, the mutual friend invited them both to a Mother's Day dinner.
"Oh, he was handsome, really handsome, and he was so nice and just a normal nice guy," she says about her initial impression. "And he knew my friends; it just felt safe." He was struck by her beauty and wit, he says. On the drive to the restaurant that night, they both sat in the backseat of the car chatting non-stop.
"I was sort of like telling jokes or asking her questions that were a little beyond what you would do to somebody you just met," he says. "And she was laughing and in sort of the right frame of mind I was in."
After their first meeting, he was hesitant to ask her out. At the time, he only knew three people in Greensboro, N.C. — she being one of them. He thought that if things did not work out he would lose the only three friends he had. Regardless of his hesitations, one Friday night, he called her after other plans for the night fell through. She agreed to meet him at a vegetarian restaurant under the assumption that more people were coming out.
Then, while chatting over dinner he asked, "So, do you go on many dates?"
She replied, "Well, is this a date?"
He asked, "Do you want it to be?"
She said yes.
The couple talked late into the night.
"There were so many coincidences that same night," they say in unison.
"I mean, you were reading the same book that I was reading; it was just unusual," McCabe says to him.
She called her sister that night and said, "I think I met the one. I think I met the guy."
For the next year, each day they'd learn something new about each other. He loved her sense of adventure and strength. He recalls a time when they went on a hike in West Virginia. They hiked up a mountain, walked across a 12-mile ridge and hiked back down. "She did it and she was totally fine, she didn't even breathe heavy the whole way up."
She fell for his wit and humor. She recalls a time they were leaving an old antique store when the shopkeeper asked, "Anything you can't live without?" Halperin immediately replied, "Just her."
Halperin had made a rule for himself that he was not going to propose to anyone until they'd dated for at least one year.
"We would have to go through all four seasons together, because, with my experience, people's personalities and moods change with the seasons," he says. "I wanted them to see me and for me to see them."
One year from the day they met, he cooked her dinner at his home and proposed.
"Even though we had talked about it before, it still startled me," McCabe says.
The couple did run into a speed bump during their engagement. Her family is Catholic; his family is Jewish.
"They asked very hard questions during our engagement," she recalls. "(My family) wanted to question that because they wanted me to know deep down was this what I really wanted."
When the couple was married Jan. 6, 2001, both families fully accepted the union.
The couple moved to Sarasota soon after they married, when she got a job with the Sarasota Orchestra. Their children attend the Temple Beth Sholom School but also practice Catholicism.
"Every day is different; every day is new; and there are no two days that have ever been alike," she says.
Their second daughter, Hannah, was born with Down syndrome, but, despite the challenge, their love for each other and their family remains strong.
"For a lot of couples it causes a lot of problems in the relationship when you have to deal with extra stress," Halperin says. "Nothing has fazed us. It's meant to be, and there is this underlining trust that it's forever, so we can survive anything."
Words of Wisdom
❤ RoseAnne McCabe learned from her father "tend to your knitting." This means do you what you have to do for yourself. "It really is about self-love, when you can learn to love yourself, you can love other people," she says.
❤ Gary Halperin says be open to a lot of people even if they don't meet the exact criteria for an ideal mate. "When somebody comes, even if they don't meet your exact bullet points, you might want to be open to them because that might be someone to share your life with," he says.
Pet Peeves
• He leaves the cabinet doors open.
• She leaves cereal stuck to the side of the bowl and leaves the bowl on the counter.
