Here's an example: The /b/ in English differs from the /b/ phoneme in French; the English /b/ is followed by a puff of air called 'aspiration'. That is why the Berlitz 'sounds like' tables (at the beginning of their phrasebooks) have a very limited use (limited, that is, to the needs of minimal touristic use).

I don't know if men are conducting a war on women, but television certainly is — if Sunday night is any indication. The most prominent female character in the History Channel's miniseries The Bible gets turned into a pillar of salt, while the frustrated feminist lead of the network's Vikings has to stay home with the kids instead of showing that she can rape, loot and pillage just as well as the boys. And on ABC's Red Widow, a soccer mom's power-shopping is seriously disrupted by the discovery that her deceased husband has left her with a $1.5 million narcotrafficking debt to some totally insensitive people. I don't think even Oprah would be able to get all this straightened out, although I'll bet Martha Stewart has some ideas about turning what's left of Lot's wife into tasty holiday treats.
Gender-role anxieties aside, there is some pretty good viewing to be had in all this — particularly Red Widow, ABC's radical redefinition of suburban angst. Adapted from the hit Dutch show Penoza (roughly, mafiosa), Red Widow is set in San Francisco's posh neighbor to the north, Marin County, where complacent housewife Marta Walraven has for years lived on the fruits of organized crime without ever noticing how they're harvested.
Though her father is a semi-retired Russian mob chieftain and her husband Evan heads a marijuana-smuggling operation that includes her scheming brother Irwin and their best friend Mike, Marta is content to ferry around her three kids in between seaside lunches with the ladies.
But that all changes when her husband is gunned down in the driveway and Marta discovers that he had ripped off cocaine gangsters and was planning to rat out most of her family in a deal for federal witness protection. Now Marta must parry the FBI while paying off the debt for the stolen cocaine by helping import another load. "This is not my business," she protests, to which a dead-eyed gangster replies: "It is now."
Australian actress Radha Mitchell ( The Crazies) offers a compelling performance as Marta, whose smug yuppie contentment quickly burns away in her new role as a narcotrafficker newbie. "Is this who I am now?" she asks, her face a mask of appalled wonder after a long day of whoring, thieving and extorting. Red Widow can be viewed as a peculiar feminist fable of glass-ceiling-busting; a cockeyed tale of personal self-discovery (I can beat a customs inspector's head in with a big stick); or just an old-fashioned gangster good time. Whichever you prefer, it's entertaining and engrossing.
The Bible and Vikings, on the other hand, are interesting mostly as evidence of mealy-mouthed gutlessness and hypocrisy at the History Channel, which a couple of years ago killed a dramatic mini-series about the Kennedy family on the grounds that its "dramatic interpretation is not a fit for the History brand."
Cynics who thought the decision had less to do with fact-checking than it did with immense corporate pressure brought to bear by the Kennedys and their pals will be amused at the standards of historical accuracy applied to these two series. Vikings is essentially a single fact — a raid by Norsemen on a monastery in northeastern England in the year 793 A.D. — surrounded by nine hours of fictional adventure story. As for The Bible, let's just say that there's considerably more historiographic controversy over Jesus' resurrection from the dead than there is about whether John F. Kennedy really stole the 1960 West Virginia primary.
Vikings is at least fun to watch, in a sword-swinging, head-chopping, maiden-despoiling sort of way, with Travis Fimmel ( The Beast) as a Viking raider who's sick of pillaging the same old Baltic towns each year and wants to head west. Unfortunately, his chieftain (Gabriel Byrne) — a guy whose idea of management science is to offer subordinates the chance to sleep with his wife, then kill anybody who shows interest — is opposed. And then there's Fimmel's wife (Katheryn Winnick, Bones), pouting at home because she isn't invited on the raid. Lots of steaming viscera ensues.
The Bible, on the other hand, doesn't amount to much more than a further piece of evidence that drama and reverence don't mix well. (To be fair, it would be the prohibitive favorite if only there were an Emmy for Screenplay In Which The Sentences 'God Has Spoken To Me' and 'God Will Provide' Are Said the Most Times.) With the pace of a music video, the characterizations of a comic book and the political-correctness quotient of a Berkeley vegetarian commune — laughably, the destruction of Sodom is depicted without the faintest hint of the sexual peccadillo that takes its name from the city — this production makes Cecil B. DeMille look like a sober theologian. The Bible marks the first attempt at drama by reality-show maven Mark Burnett, whose soul I would consider in serious jeopardy if it hadn't already been forfeited during the second season of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?

Permanency Innovations Initiative (PII) Project Resources
The federal Permanency Innovations Initiative (PII) is a multi-site federal demonstration project designed to improve permanency outcomes among foster care children who have the most serious barriers to permanency. This 5-year, $100 million initiative includes six grantees, each with a unique intervention designed to help a specific subgroup of children leave foster care in fewer than three years.
PII aims to:
- Implement innovative intervention strategies, informed by the relevant literature to reduce long-term foster care stays and improve child outcomes.
- Use an implementation science framework enhanced by child welfare expertise to guide technical assistance activities.
- Rigorously evaluate the validity of research-informed innovations and adapted evidence-based interventions in reducing long-term foster care.
- Build an evidence base and disseminate findings to build knowledge in the child welfare field.
The project is distinguished by its provisions for rigorous evaluation, purposeful application of implementation science, and coordinated dissemination of findings.

An enterprising day. The stars say you may visit an ancient place. A museum, perhaps, or a historical place. But your health may require some attention, says Ganesha. If so, it's a good idea to spend an evening by yourself.
In this week of self-realisation, you will understand the value of the talents that you have been endowed with, predicts Ganesha. You may start feeling that you have been under-utilising them, and may now resolve to use your full potential. You will also realise that you have been wasting your time by running after useless things, and you will focus fully on your professional tasks. The stars suggest that your great eloquence will come to the fore, which will help you a great deal in overcoming professional hurdles that have been slowing down your progress. All this means that you shall be too preoccupied with work at the cost of your family life. However, Ganesha advises you to squeeze out some time for your loved ones over the weekend.
You will be very imaginative and innovative this month. Though in the initial stages things may appear to be dull, you will pick up momentum by the end of the first week. Your creative ideas will be much appreciated by your peers and superiors alike. Though you will be totally focused on work, your growth may not meet your expectations, but Ganesha advises you not to get disappointed and carry on undaunted, and the rewards will come forth. Your eloquence will also peak and you shall win many hearts with your wholesome praise of others' abilities. On the romantic front, though, one wrong word, and your relationship may go into a tailspin. So Ganesha advises you to be extremely careful not to hurt the feelings of your beloved, and not to make petty disputes an ego issue. Avoid speculative activities.
The year 2014 begins on a positive note for you, and you can be sure of being in an enthusiastic, raring-to-go mode, as the year begins. However, it is still advisable that you go slow. Avoid being impulsive, since there is a possibility of you committing an error of judgement. As far as your love life is concerned, uncertainty and tentativeness may continue to prevail, for most part of the year ahead. In fact, according to Ganesha, love matters may actually become a cause of concern for you. Beware! For this may also cause resultant ripples in your professional life – leaving you clueless or confused. On your career front, there will be some definite movements – which may also mean a new assignment, a change that will be, most likely, pleasant. Ganesha also predicts that your career may take a specially positive turn, during the last few months of the year 2014. Financially, you may face problems during 2014, especially as there may be some issues regarding the balance between inflow and outflow of cash. Cut down unnecessary expenditure!

By Dorie Johnson, as told to Redwood City Patch Editor Stacie Chan
(Editor's Note: Dorie Johnson was a former employee of the Redwood City School District until she left of her own accord after she witnessed some disturbing behavior from a special education teacher's aide. She filed an abuse report with Child Protective Services, and through the district. All employees' and students' names have been omitted to protect privacy.
UPDATE: The Redwood City School District addressing Ms. Johnson's allegations.
This case is unrelated to the , who allegedly abused special education children.)
My History with the District
Since the day my daughter began kindergarten in 1995, I have been an active parent at the . My two other sons, , and my other son, who was a special ed student, also went through the district.
I never paid attention when my son told me that the special education teachers were mean. I knew they had to discipline the students and be firm at times.
I was a paid employee at the Redwood City School District for 10 years between 1998 and 2007. I worked at doing various tasks, including yard duty and a three-year position as a volunteer coordinator. I took a five-year break to work at a family business, then resumed a position on Feb. 10 of this year as a special education teacher's assistant with the district.
For the first day I was assigned to , then two days at , and then moved to the campus on Feb. 15. I wasn't told much, but happily obliged.
The K-2 classroom of eight to nine autistic children seemed pretty well run and efficient at first glance. But on the very first day of school, there was one aide of five who was constantly yelling. The aide would even yell at another aide to yell at the students if she wanted them to do her bidding. But the aide refused to comply, saying she wouldn't yell. I felt instant discomfort.
On the second day, Student 1 refused to leave the outside play area to come inside. The aide grabbed him by the wrist and tried to wrestle him towards his desk. He was twisting and turning trying to break free when she let him go. Bam, he went to the floor, face down in a heap.
I started questioning her behavior to another aide, asking her if this was normal. She responded that when the former teacher was here, the teacher ran a tight ship but never crossed the line. The teacher left on Feb. 10 for maternity leave and was replaced by a substitute teacher.
Since I had no formal special education training from the district, I didn't know exactly what constituted "abuse." Did yelling count? Were teachers allowed to even touch students to restrain them from dangerous behavior?
I returned the following week, only to have the aide continue her angry behavior. On Feb. 21, Student 2 was sitting by himself humming in a back and forth motion waiting to come to circle time. Rather than gently asking him to stop, the aide was yelling at him by name saying "QUIET. BE QUIET." The substitute teacher was sitting there the whole time not even bothered by the tone of her voice.
Every aide has their own child to manage, so, in the most generous terms, it's possible they didn't witness this behavior. But the substitute teacher would sit at his desk the entire time and never intervene.
Another incident occurred when Student 3 wanted to go into the play yard where the rest of us were. The aide started wrestling with him to bring him back inside the classroom. "That's it!" she yelled, aggravated and frustrated. She picked him up and shut the door behind her. She was in angry parent mode every day.
On Wednesday, Feb. 29, Student 4 was having his daily meltdown around noon when he would crawl under a table and refuse to leave. The aide became fed up with him and tried to pull him out from under the table. He scrambled out and intentionally knocked over her coffee cup that he saw on a table. She then picked him up angrily then set him on the ground.
Going to Child Protective Services
I knew this was way out of line. I had been teaching at other schools and never saw other teachers cross the line like this. To get more information, I started making phone calls to teachers in other school districts. They told me this behavior was something to be concerned about.
So the following Monday, March 5, I met with the principal of Roosevelt Elementary. She told me she had heard about my concerns from other aides and asked me if she should call Child Protective Services. I opted to file a report through the district. I have no idea when they'll get back to me, but I'm supposed to wait around until they investigate.
I then went to the district's behavioral psychologist to explain what I had witnessed over the past couple of weeks. I got the attitude from him as if he were saying "tell your little story and we'll be done with you." He never probed for further details or asked more about the aide's behavior. "The guidelines are stressful," he explained, as if that excused her actions.
I then asked him what the guidelines were for restraining children. Only if they are a danger to themselves or trying to injure others, he said.
In my head, I recalled the few times when I had to restrain some children, when they were acting out and even scratched me, causing my arm to bleed. But I locked their arms and legs until I could feel their body loosen, then released them while calmly telling them to "Stop. Stop."
The aide would use restraining as a punishment when the students wouldn't listen to her.
Trying to Remove Me
The following day, March 6, I returned to the school to find out that they had removed me from that room and placed me in another room. The rationale was that they needed me there instead. But the teacher in the new room was surprised to see me and had no idea I was coming. If they so badly needed me there, why did they not even inform that teacher?
I knew what they were doing. They were trying to shift me to another classroom to keep me out of that room. But I had made up my mind that they were not going to keep me out of that classroom. I was terrified not being able to watch the children, knowing that they weren't safe.
Was I supposed to wait until June when she might have hit Student 4 by then? The aide might have completely lost control by then. And to report anything that I thought might constitute child abuse.
So I called CPS and filed a report through the phone.
Going to the District
On March 9, I called the Superintendent. Her secretary told me that she'd call me back and was available March 19. Eleven days after I had called to report a very serious matter.
Finally the Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent called me on March 13 to say that they had time to speak with me.
But I wasn't going to speak with them. I was going to talk to someone who was going to listen immediately. The district didn't do what was best for the children, and it seems like they didn't want to.
The parents of these children need to know what's going on in the classroom. These are the most vulnerable children in our society, who can barely speak for themselves, and the district turned away.
I'm not sure what the next steps are, but parents must know what is going on. In the first few days, aides told me in secrecy that "if you talk, you're gone." Well, I'm still talking.
Update: I was asked to sub at Kennedy Middle School on March 7, then received no more calls of requests to sub.
I also have an appointment with the Deputy Superintendent on Thursday, March 15.

text: As a native Minnesotan, Chris Larson is well acquainted with the cold. However, in his single channel video, Deep North (8:16 min.) the artist's familiarity with subzero temperatures is taken to an extreme. After experiencing a severe ice storm while visiting Versoix, Switzerland, in 2005, Larson decided to recreate the scene, one he recalled as being at once "gorgeous and apocalyptic." In February of 2008, he constructed a small house (including a makeshift factory), doused it in water, and allowed thick icicles to form. Deep North depicts the artist's construction both frozen in time and hard at work. Still, quiet images of the home's interior precede those of the factory, noisily churning out mysteriously shaped ice products. Larson's work seeks to comment on a range of themes, from climate change to the monotony of industrial life; however, the ultimate interpretation is left for the viewer to decide.

My mother came over for dinner last night and started questioning me on how I am paying my bills and why I haven't looked for a job yet. After hearing her badger me for an hour I finally told her that I was working and I got paid for transvestite crossdressing Newcastle fun. As soon as I said those words she stared at me and stared laughing hysterically. When she was finally able to catch her breath she asked me if I was joking around with her. Telling her I wasn't just made her laugh even more. I was happy that my mom found humor in this rather than getting mad and making me feel disgraceful. She did state that even though she did not agree with it, she was still happy that I was doing something to support myself rather than asking people for money.
I have been pleasing clients as a Manchester escort entertainer for a little over 5 years. All of my clients are great and I could not ask for much more out of them. I have been able to earn an income that I thought that I could never achieve for very little work or schooling. My car is paid off completely, I have a fat bank account and my ranch home will be paid off this year. It is so great not having any type of financial burdens.
As I start to get a little older I am thinking that I want a normal relationship and maybe even children. I think that hardest part of telling someone that I meet is where I work and how they will react to it. Will they ever be able to trust me and how many questions will I be asked daily as the relationship progresses into the future?
I went to a poker tournament with my mom and it was the first time that I had ever gone to play for cash. She ended up coming in 10th place and I came in 2nd place after several hours of playing. We also had purchased some raffle tickets at the door and I ended up with free airfare for two and some movie passes. I gave the movie passes to my mom because I do not go to the show often and I probably would have never used them.
The airfare on the other hand was for my fuck buddy and me to take off for the weekend. I called him when his wife was not at home and told him the news. He told me what dates that he could get away for about four or five days, I booked the fight right away! On the trip he advised me that he was getting a divorce and wanted to marry me right away.
My Newcastle escorts companion is the best friend that I have ever had, she ordered me a subscription for Sports Illustrated because my annual order had ran out. I never saw it coming because we have a no strings attached relationship and I thought that was really sweet of her.
A week after I started getting the magazines a NFL team jacket arrived at my door, I was so shocked! I thanked her over and over again, she knows that I love my sports. She has been watching me keep up with the Stanly Cup finals awaiting the final winner.
I also keep an eye on my favorite basketball player who is LeBron James, he is the best thing next to Michael Jordan! He is a very dedicated player, he works ultimately hard and he shows more energy than most of the other players out there.
I love getting all of my most updated sports news from Sports Illustrated!

The US Men's National Team travel to Kingston for the first of their home and home qualifier against Jamaica. These two matches will likely decide who wins Group A of the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying semifinal round, so it goes without saying that this is a big game.
The two teams currently sit with four points atop the group with the US have the slight edge of goal differential. Of course, since the top two teams move on to the final round, it really doesn't matter who wins the group since it won't ultimately determine anything. Since both these sides are the clear favorites in Group A, this is more about seeing who the bigger fish in the pond is.
As for being able to watch this game, it's going to require an effort for some. beIN Sport is the newest soccer channel on the block here in the US and has picked up rights for several upcoming away USMNT qualifiers. It's being carried by the two big satellite TV companies, but while a deal with Comcast is done, they still are implementing the channel in to the their lineup. Beyond that, you'll have to find a soccer friendly bar with the right cable provider.
Date/Time: Friday, 8:00 p.m. ET
Venue: Independence Park, Kingston, Jamaica
Television: beIN Sport (U.S)
We'll have live coverage in our Jamaica vs. USA StoryStream. For more on the Yanks, head over to U.S. soccer blog Stars and Stripes FC. Check out their video preview of the match below.

Such was the case at Cowboy Maloney's Electric City on Interstate 55 in Jackson, which opened at 3:00 Thursday afternoon. Owner Con Maloney greeted the line of shoppers and ushered them inside for the early opportunity to take advantage of reduced prices.
Shoppers were also lined up at Best Buy in Flowood, which was scheduled to open at 6:00 Thursday evening.

Konner Wade deserved better during the Tri-City Dust Devils 2-0 loss at Hillsboro on Monday.
The Colorado Rockies seventh-round draft pick out of the University of Arizona had his best start of the year, allowing two runs one earned on just two hits over six innings but still lost his seventh consecutive decision to fall to 0-7.
The game also featured the professional debut of pitcher Tony Bryant, a Kennewick native and Oregon State product, who threw a scoreless inning in relief of Wade, giving up a hit and a walk with a pair of strikeouts.
The Dust Devils (7-11 second half) dropped into last place, but stayed a game behind first-place Everett (8-10).
Yogey Perez-Ramos hit an RBI grounder to give Hillsboro a 1-0 lead in the first and later scored on Ashley Graeters throwing error in the bottom of the sixth to make it 2-0.

PEORIA, Ill -- Among the most remarkable moments in Washington Thursday, Republican Mark Kirk made his way up the steps to the Capitol nearly a year after suffering a massive stroke.
Illinois Senator Mark Kirk, using a cane, was met with applause as he slowly made his way up the steps to the Capitol Thursday afternoon. The Senator's left leg was visibly stiff as he took each step.
In an interview Wednesday, Senator Kirk said nearly one year ago he was very close to dying.
"He said you're highly likely to have a stroke right now, and so he obviously had my full attention and luckily, I was still in the hospital when it all hit," said Senator Kirk of his experience nearly one year ago.
Dr. Deepak Nair at the Illinois Neurological Institute in Peoria said Senator Kirk is making a fantastic recovery. He said research regarding the prevention of strokes is still pretty extensive. Some risk factors that cannot be controlled are age, genetics, and family history.
However, Dr. Nair said staying healthy and knowing your controllable risk factors can help.
"High blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, irregular heart rhythms that can be controlled," he said.
Knowing the symptoms and acting quickly are vital to saving lives.
Nair said, "A sudden loss in vision is one eye or one half of your vision, a sudden loss of ability to speak or understand speech, a sudden loss in your ability to move or feel one half of you body, or a sudden loss of balance of a sudden onset of vertigo or dizziness, those are all fairly common stroke symptoms."
Each stroke and recovery time is different from patient to patient.
Such is the example of 78-year-old Bobbie Marshall.
"I sit down in the chair and all of the sudden my arm just gave a loose and I fell out of the chair down on the floor," said Marshall, sitting up in his hospital chair two days after his stroke.
He came into the hospital New Years Day and doctors expect to send him home Friday with no plans for therapy.
"Real lucky," said Marshall of his prognosis.
From Senator Kirk to Bobbie Marshall, every stroke survivor has a different story. What is key is that they have a story. Staying healthy and knowing the symptoms will hopefully lead to more stories of stroke survival in the future.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — A year after being designated one of the state's first five cultural districts, the Rocky Neck community has sprung to life for the summer, with a $154,000 state cultural facilities grant en route to help the art colony purchase its centerpiece building in the historic old church building on Wonson Street, and the "Nights on the Neck" series having kicked off last week.
But perhaps the boldest step to date has come from one of the cultural district's founding members, the Gloucester Stage Co., which — in a promising season featuring plays such as Israel Horovitz's Gloucester-based "North Shore Fish," which premieres next week, and a September production of "Driving Miss Daisy" with one-time Academy Award nominee Linsday Crouse — has opened its season with a stunning rendition of the Tony Award-winning "Spring Awakening."
Theater general manager Andrew Burgreen and Artistic Director Eric Engel, who also directs this piece, deserve credit for pressing the envelope on several fronts with this acclaimed rock musical, which, in its initial 2007 Broadway run, featured "Glee's" Leah Michele and Jonathan Groff. For one thing, they scheduled it for a four-week run, longest in at least the last five years. And, from Engel's standpoint, the cast is fittingly dominated by youth, with nine of the 12 performers making their GSC debuts and two — like Ross Mumford, who plays Moritz, the second male lead — kicking off their professional stage careers.
The result? A power-packed, energetic production that does writers Steve Sater and Duncan Sheik proud, and one that should give actor Melody Madarasz — who earned a Boston theater IRNE Award nomination for her GSC debut in last year's "Crimes of the Heart" – another for her performance as the female focal point, Wendla Bergman.
With occasional harsh language, a simulated sex scene and young adult themes, "Spring Awakening" isn't for everybody. But for those interested in taking in a poignant drama backed by a powerful musical score, it is truly what contemporary theater — and progressive culture on the Neck — is all about.
This is the final weekend; it deserves checking out.

Help Recover Stolen Property, ReportIt!
ReportIt is a free, secure online service allowing citizens to record serial numbers and upload images for phones, electronics, and other valuables. Should the citizen later become a victim of theft or burglary, this information will go a long way in allowing the police department to accurately and quickly identify the property, as well as allowing the citizen to make a complete report to an insurance provider.
The ReportIt service is a part of LeadsOnline, the online system that works with police across the country to track and recover stolen property, which is based in Dallas, TX. The MPD uses LeadsOnline on a daily basis to help track and recover stolen property ---- everything from jewelry to sporting equipment to electronics, computers, cameras, and other items such as designer clothing, collectibles, and other items with invaluable personal worth. The system allows detectives to search for stolen items using a variety of parameters, including item descriptions and serial numbers.
The LeadsOnline database includes product information that is entered automatically whenever an item is sold to a pawn or secondhand shop. This information is immediately viewable by participating law enforcement agencies across the country. The MPD was a charter member with LeadsOnline and pays a yearly fee in order to access this database which has been invaluable in solving numerous crimes since its inception.
LeadsOnline is now making the ReportIt service available at no cost to the citizens of their member cities. Any Mansfield citizen can now register for the free service at reportit.leadsonline.com and immediately begin building their personal property inventory list. Citizens can store an unlimited number of serial numbers, item descriptions, pictures, and scans of receipts so that items can be more easily identified in the event of theft. The extent in which a detective can search for a stolen item is always limited to the description and information about the missing product that the citizen can provide.
None of the information entered by a citizen will be available or viewed by any other citizen or any police agency, and it will not become part of LeadsOnline database for searches. It is simply a safe secure online site for a citizen to create a list to keep track of their property. If the citizen were to sustain a loss, the citizen could then print the list and make it available to the police and or insurance provider. Likewise, citizens will not have access to the LeadsOnline system used by the police.Posted on 02/06/13

Excitement is flowing through the new Fantasyland at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. Though it hasn't officially opened yet, a few lucky people do get to see it, complete with costumed characters like "Gaston" from the Disney classic Beauty and the Beast.
Even the new "Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid" ride is up and running. Moms like Julie Chavez are raving about the new attractions.
"She's gone on it already three times and wants to stay on it. And then "Belle"… we've gone on that once and she wants to back and see her again."
Belle's live interactive show is right next to that castle, directly underneath it.
"And a dinner here is never second best," she added.
The Beauty and the Beast themed restaurant, "Be Our Guest" is ornately decorated and will be fast, casual during the day and fine dining table service by night.
The newest addition to Magic Kingdom means 800 permanent jobs."Eight-hundred jobs is extremely significant," said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. "Most of the jobs that are created are in small businesses of 20 or less, so when you add 800 jobs all at once, that's a significant impact."
The jobs are just a bonus to go with the fresh, new take that Disney is giving the Magic Kingdom.
"We're doubling the size of the most beloved land, in the most beloved park, in the world," said Meg Crofton, president of Walt Disney World Resort. "In addition to that, you know, we're giving families reasons to come to central Florida to visit."

Local waterpark prepares to make a splash
Linfield students staying in McMinnville can add something new to their list of summer plans — the "Wings and Waves Waterpark" at Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum.
The park is set to open its doors to the public June 6 with a Grand Opening Celebration, after more than two years of planning and construction.
"We were looking to attract a younger demographic," Kasey Richter, class of '09 and director of Public Relations for Evergreen Museum, said. "We knew there was nothing else in the area like it."
The creation of the park included planting a Boeing 747 jetliner atop the building where 10 water slides, a wave pool and a children's museum will be housed.
Not all of the slides are inside the building. Several of the slides begin inside of the 747 itself, exit the plane and re-enter the building into a pool inside.
Educational exhibits designed to inform visitors about the role that water plays in society are inside the building.
The park isn't only for education. Some features of the park are designed purely for fun, including the slides that begin inside the plane.
"There may be educational information on the stairs and in the lobby of the 747, but not on the slides themselves," Richter said.
While the park is geared toward a younger age group, many Linfield students said that they are excited to visit the park this summer or next year.
"I will most definitely try to make it to the water park this summer," senior Benton Canaga said. "It looks pretty cool from the outside, and I want to check it out."
The park also has the potential to attract visitors to McMinnville, senior Allison Navarro said.
"I don't know if the water park will single-handedly make McMinnville a destination, but I think it will attract people from surrounding areas, as a water park is sort of an oddity in the Pacific Northwest," Navarro said. "I also think a lot of McMinnville residents will be interested in going."
Junior Kirstie Franceschina agreed.
"I think it might bring more people to McMinnville through the summer months as a day trip or family destination," she said.
Admission to the park is $30 for visitors over 42 inches tall. The price is $25 for those under 42 inches and admission to the children's museum is $15.
The price of admission may be a deterrent for college students looking to visit the park because there is not a Linfield student discount.
"I might attend the waterpark once or twice this summer, but $30 is a little too expensive for me," Franceschina said.
