John Robertson backs NSPCC campaign to stop grooming in its tracks
John Robertson is lending his support to an NSPCC campaign to help tackle online grooming.
John Robertson is backing the charity's Flaw in the Law campaign, which is calling on the UK Government to ensure it is always illegal for an adult to send a sexual message to a child.
The Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009 makes this behaviour illegal in Scotland but there is no such legislation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This means sex abusers can often get away with effectively 'fishing' for child victims on social networks, mobile apps, chat rooms, and in online gaming environments.
Now, John is calling on the UK Government to ensure children in the rest of the UK receive the same protection from online sex abusers as children in Scotland.
John Robertson said: "It's pleasing to know that Scotland has legislation in this area to help protect children but, given the alarming rise in online child abuse, it is very concerning that this is not the case across the whole of the UK. I urge the UK Government to listen to the NSPCC's concerns and to create a new offence through the Serious Crime Bill so that it is always illegal for an adult to send a sexual message to a child".
NSPCC Head of child safety online, Claire Lilley said: "We are very grateful to John for supporting the Flaw in the Law campaign. The law in Scotland gives police the tools they need to prosecute abusers who are using the internet to facilitate the abuse of children, but this isn't the case for the rest of the UK where laws are fragmented and sex offenders are able to, and often do, exploit the loopholes".
"The Serious Crime Bill currently going through Parliament provides a timely opportunity to learn from the law in Scotland and introduce a new offence in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to better protect children online, and we hope MPs and the public will back the campaign calling on the Government to do this".
The NSPCC's campaign comes as ChildLine, a service run by the NSPCC, saw a 168% increase in the number of children counselled about online sexual abuse last year.
People can find out more about the NSPCC campaign and sign the petition at www.nspcc.org.uk/flaw and join the debate on social media by following #FlawedLaw.
Anyone looking for advice about keeping children safe online, or concerned about the safety and welfare of a child, can contact the NSPCC's 24-hour helpline on 0808 800 5000 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Children worried about online safety or any other problem can call the free, 24-hour helpline on 0800 1111 or get help online at www.childline.org.uk

"Very nice hotel"
The hotel was beautiful & the room was very nice. The pools are AWESOME & they have a very large jacuzzi. You should know that you are NOT close to town. We rented a golf cart to take back & forth so that we wouldn't have to pay for a water taxi & so we could come and go on our time, not on the water taxi schedule. Just keep in mind that it takes 20 […] to 30 minutes to get to town. If you are at the hotel, the restaurant there is pretty expensive. Belizian Shores is right close by & they have cheaper food & they also do room service. If you're in San Pedro on a Thursday, don't miss going to the Chicken Drop! Lots of fun. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Fantastic views, great staff, ok restaurant"
This was our first time in Belize and it was amazing. The room was beautiful and true to the island motif. Tile floors, glass block shower, and island themed artwork. We were on the first floor and our porch was no more than 10 feet from the pool. Hibiscus flowers scattered on the bed and in strategically placed places throughout the room upon arrival. The […] staff was friendly and helpful and eventually we were greeting each other by name as the days progressed. Larry (grounds keeping) was very helpful and told us about many of the local attractions. The walls of the room are thick which is good and not so good. It's good because, despite the pool side activities, we barely heard a peep in the room. Not so good because that also meant we could not get access the the wi-fi. We had to sit in the pool side chairs directly in front of the check in office to be able to get a signal; and even then it was shaky at best. Coconana was the resort restaurant. The atmosphere was beautiful and the service was outstanding. Fabio is an amazing waiter. However, it was over priced: Good $40 dollar dinner meals came to a total of $80-$90. We didn't realize they were charging for our re-fills. We didn't realize until one bill included the $15 extra for water. Captain Morgan's quickly became our new friend (with free refills of water). It's a small beach walk next door. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
The only thing I can say is; I wish there was a "Very Excellent" option.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Beautiful property and the staff is great."
We had a great stay and the staff does a great job of remembering your name as well as making sure you are taken care of. The food and drinks are great but can be a bit pricey. There is wifi but it goes out a lot and not good coverage around the pool area if you are on a computer or ipad. Very relaxing. There were only 2 of us but I would definitely […] bring back the family. Very family friendly. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice resort clean and friendly staff"
It's a beautiful resort great pool great bar ,prices A little expensive On drinks. Restaurant food overpriced barfood was very reasonable. Other great restaurants within 10 minutes walking. We would definitely come back to this resortGenuine Expedia guest review
"Amazingly Gorgeous Hotel"
From the time I booked the flight and hotel I have nothing but GREAT things to say about Coco Beach Resort. - complimentary kayaks, paddle boats, paddle boards, and sailing (if you know how- which good thing my bf knew how) - complimentary wifi (Omar gave us a MIFI that we could take around and use the whole time we were there) - complimentary DVD players […] and movies and games - the drinks were AMAZING - the Resort was always clean, never a single branch out of place. - the staff at Coco Beach was BEYOND FRIENDLY and definitely made us feel right at home. From the front desk staff, to the reservations staff, the bartenders, to the maintenance guys and pool guys they were all so sweet and friendly. We loved EVERYONE THERE! - the room was always clean - the Resort itself is BEAUTIFUL!!! There is not ONE bad thing about the staff or the features of the resort! - the sister resort Xtan Ha has an amazing beach as well as GREAT snorkeling!!! DISLIKE: - Honestly the food is not the greatest. it's not horribly bad but definitely not as good as some of the other resorts. If Coco Beach had better food and more varieties I think the resort would be unstoppable. We had an amazing time and it was all thanks to Coco Beach and the staff there and at their sister resorts. We loved every bit of it and can't wait to come back! This is DEFINITELY a resort that we recommend and where we want to revisit, hopefully this will be a yearly trip. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beautiful Hotel As Advertised"
So rarely do pictures match reality but in Coco Beach resort's case, they absolutely do. The resort is beautiful, the staff absolutely friendly and there are a number of included amenities like free kayaks, bikes and boat rides.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very nice hotel with very nice rooms."
Very nice hotel and the personnel is very nice. However in our room the mattress was to soft. Both pools were very beautiful and we did enjoyed very much. Beautiful beach however can't not use it to swim because there was too many algues and the bottom of the sea was very viscous.Genuine Expedia guest review
"One of a kind, very special experience!!"
My husband and I have traveled extensively throughout our lives for work and pleasure and have had the fortunate occasion to be able to stay in some very prestigious 5 star hotels/resorts along the way. I have never had one that out does the experience at Coco Beach. I have never written a review in my life about anything involving the internet. I have […] never done so because I have never felt strongly enough about any place to do so. We stayed at Coco Beach to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. I had emailed in my reservation that it was our special anniversary, and when we arrived, they had given us a beautiful room poolside with flower petals spelling out "Happy 20th Anniversary" on the bed with a wonderful bottle of wine. The staff was so wonderfully accommodating and friendly. And not just the staff that were waiting on us. Anywhere I walked in the resort, from the groundskeepers to maintenance staff, everyone would stop and say hello. The personal attention was outstanding and definitely made us feel so warm and comfortable. Some of the staff that introduced themselves by name as the week progressed, felt like friends. Anything we wanted, they found a way to accommodate. Several particularly stood out. Larry, who worked poolside, picked a flower and gave it to me every morning as he passed and asked if we were doing okay and needed anything. I could never say enough and I highly recommend. My husband and I will definitely be back!! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Coco Beach in September 2013"
Beautiful resort, had the place to ourselves since it was off-season. Very nice property and attentive staffGenuine Expedia guest review
"Seriously overrated; hospitality gets a D- !!"
The hotel itself was nice -- clean, comfortable, spacious. The pool is amazing -- supposedly, it's the best in San Pedro. But the staff! We stayed at three different places in Belize. Everywhere else, the staff was friendly, polite, and overly hospitable. At Coco, they were obnoxious and borderline offensive. They asked me and my friend inappropriate […] questions (unprovoked of course!) and were not at all helpful when we had issues with the grill they lend to guests. For what we paid and all of the other hotels offered in San Pedro, I would never stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
My new bride and I had an excellent stay at the Coco Beach Resort. The staff was very friendly and went above and beyond the call of duty to make our trip unforgettable.Genuine Expedia guest review
"beautiful, semi-secluded location"
Clean, extremely comfortable rooms, beautiful resort, helpful and friendly staff, waterfront location. Requires a ~3.5 walk/bike ride/golf cart ride to town, restaurants on the premises are okay, and nearby restaurants close in the off-season. Overall, I would strongly recommend this resort.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Most relaxing vacation to date."
Went to Coco Beach with my wife and 3 kids (15, 11 and 9) and we had a great time. The resort is beautiful. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The suites are very clean and well maintained. It accommodated us perfectly. We spent lots of time in the main pool, and it was well maintained and provided the kids with lots of entertainment. We also […] tried the on-site restaurant twice, once for breakfast and once for dinner, and had great meals both times. I would highly recommend this resort for those looking to get away from your daily stresses and just relax. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very clean, couple friendly and family friendly."
Easy access to a lot of activities near by. Friendly staff, a bit pricey. Be ready to spend high quality U.S. prices. I was expecting the prices to be a bit reasonable but in some instances prices were higher than what we are used to here in the U.S.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Close to the reef"
My stay was one of the most luxurious and friendliest experiences I've ever had. Everyone working for the hotel -- from the management to the housekeepers -- was extremely nice and hospitable. The hotel is next to Tuff-E-Nuff tours, where the divemaster and all of the employees genuinely cared to make our experience amazing and to help us in any way […] possible. The only downside of this resort is that it's far from the mainland and all of the tours require either a ride by water-taxi or by plane. The resort itself is clean, beautiful, and has a lot of fun activities to do like kayak, paddle board, and bike ride. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beautiful property"
Paradise. The villas were very nice; the property gorgeous. Was very relaxing there. The housekeeping and other staff were very nice and helpful. The restaurant is too expensive. Most people eat there once and then get smart and eat in town or buy groceries in town. If they want to retain business, they may want to consider not pricing themselves out […] of business.

"Living the Dream"
Service wonderful staff is friendly and professional,especially Larry who works. Pool area.Rooms are clean and comfortable.Fabulous weather good restaurants near by.Only negative about hotel was their restaurant while the food was prepared correctly portions were. Small prices high compared to other restaurants All in all I would come back and I amGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great Honeymoon Get Away"
Coco Beach was a gorgeous hotel a short ride away (via water taxi speedboat) to San Pedro. The pool is clearly the highlight. There are 2 pools and a hot tub which get a lot of use given the immediate beach is full on grassy growth as is the case with most of Ambergris and Belize in general. Kayaks and paddleboards are complimentary so you can paddle […] to the reef, tie up the kayak and swim in the amazingly warm ocean and snorkel (gear can be rented for $5-10 US bucks per day or bring your own). We even saw a sting ray while doing this. Service is wonderful and the rooms are all nice. Be aware that there is limited food and you are captive to expensive US prices unless you travel to San Pedro, which we did. We got a week long water taxi pass for $30 US each and would make at least one trip per day to San Pedro. We would often go for lunch and get dinner as take-out and return to our room. Or we would eat the poolside menu ($10-$15 US per person) for lunch and then have dinner in San Pedro. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"room for improvement."
Room wasn't cleaned one day even after requesting it at the front desk. Young people at front desk don't understand about 'service" No elevators to 3rd floor rooms. Also had to walk up 3 flights to get to one of the restaruants, Beds,mattresses were great and rooms spacious. Loved the refrigerator and desk to work from. Nice coordination with picking […] up from plane and getting to water taxi for trip to hotel. Drink at front desk a nice touch as well. People/staff friendly and willing to accommodate. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Best choice in the area"
This is a beautiful property located right on the beach. The friendly staff were ready to assist from the moment we stepped out of the water taxi. The rooms are spacious and have comfortable, clean bedding. Our beautiful kitchen had granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, it was equipped with all the tools we needed to cook our meals. The […] pools are great, the main one has a huge structure in the middle where people can jump from, it keeps kids of all ages entertained, the second pool's swim up bar and volleyball net are additional amenities for entertainment. The sea grass makes it difficult to swim near the beach., fortunately, the hotel provides free kayak use and snorkeling equipment (for a rental fee) for those who want to venture further into the ocean. There is a small grocery store within walking distance from the hotel that has a limited supply of groceries, we bought most of our groceries in San Pedro which is a 30 minute ride from Coco Beach Resort. The resort facilitated our golf cart rental. The area behind the hotel is a garbage dump that contrasts with the beautiful resort which is kept in immaculate conditions. Overall, this was a positive experience and recommend the hotel for it's outstanding service. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"wonderful vacation spot"
beautiful resort, helpful friendly staff in a beautiful relaxing spot great pools, spectacular views great restaurants nearby but need to be willing to walk to them on beach or can easily take water taxi into townGenuine Expedia guest review
"Super friendly and helpful staff"
Great place to stay. Great swimming pools for both swimming and lounging. Nice touch to be greeted on the dock upon arrival and also when departing. I would recommend this top resort to anyone.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Charming resort with a relaxing atmosphere."
The resort is an excellent choice for people looking for a relaxed atmosphere and yet enjoy the basics of a resort life: drinks, meals and entertainment. It is a very good place for families and outdoor lovers. There is opportunity to explore, go fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling. In the afternoons, the relaxation at the pool and pool bar complement […] the holiday. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. Always immaculately cleaned. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had one of our best holidays at the beach and are indeed invited to come back again. Their restaurant is first class. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Coco Beach Resort was absolutely amazing! Everything from the accomodations to the staff exceeded my expectations!Genuine Expedia guest review

Only detraction is the distance from San Pedro, Water Taxi is the way to go, but this is also a plus! Bring your mosquito spray for the island, but it is well worth it! Amazing time and facility.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice resort needs a dose of southern charm"
Resort was very nice and well maintained. It was right on the beach. The taxi service to and from town was poorly run by kids who really couldn't care less about you, where you are going, or what your schedule is. To get into town by golf cart is expensive($30) and the road to get there was beyond horrible. 3.5 mile ride takes at least 30 minutes by […] golf cart....ridiculous. The resort restaurant was over priced and not very good and if you wanted food after 10:00 (when they closed) you better hope you picked up something in town that day. We did find out after asking around that they made pizzas down by the bar after 10:00 but it wasn't in any way advertised. Overall the staff just didn't seem to really care about making your stay more comfortable but instead taking advantage of you. In fairness, it wasn't just his resort. The general attitude towards Americans seemed to be disdain. The beaches are smaller than I thought they would be(maybe twenty feet from water to shore at most resorts. The water was the best part of Belize. Scuba diving was awesome and avoid the mainland tours. Roads are awful and it takes all day. Anyway, I guess I would go back but I at least would know what I was getting into. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel, but needs another restaurant on site"
Their website said that they have 2 restaurants on site. A cafe that serves breakfast and sells grocery items and a more formal establishment. When we arrived, we discovered that the cafe didn't actually exist. We had to eat breakfast at a neighboring hotel. Luckily it was a short walk and not too much of an inconvenience. This restaurant at the neighboring […] hotel would also deliver food to your room at Coco Beach, but there was no menu in the room so there was no way of knowing what you could order. My only other complaint about the hotel is that the beach wasn't very nice, but the hotel itself and the landscaping was gorgeous so it didn't really matter. I would definitely go back some day!

"Nice resort but limited food options."
Staff was great, especially in the pool bar. Milton and Deon remembered what type of drinks you like and room number. The food options on the property are limited. They do not serve breakfast and while the restaurant is new and wonderfully decorated the execution of the items o the menu did not meet expectations.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Beautiful resort, great staff!"
Enjoyed it, a lot! Only comment is make sure you get a room with wifi access.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great place to relax!"
Cocobeach is gorgeous! Great staff and service all around. Deon the bartender and Zoby the manager were awesome! This is a great place to unwind away from the town. Its a 10 min water taxi ride if you want to get to town and the cost adds up if you want to go there a lot. This is a quiet place good for couples. Young ppl and groups might get bored.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Belize island retreat"
A little more remote than expected, although not a problem. Bridge connecting to San Pedro was out, otherwise would recommend golf cart in order to go into San Pedro for activities. Recommend getting food at local grocery such as Mata Grande and have delivered to room and ready when you arrive. Tuf E Nuf tours was very professional. I would return […] again.

"Great hotel"
Service and friendliness at the hotel is very high. The premises are quite nice and the pool is exceptional. A deep pool (8 ft) with a sled, and a shallow pool up front. As well as a swim up bar. There is sand all over the place, it'd be nice to be able to walk without getting sandy but that is minor. The beach is pretty but not really swimmable. No […] snorkeling near the hotel either, but that seems to be at every hotel. I like the 2 br, even for a couple. Nicely equipped. comfortable. We had pool view, but it was great, ocean in the distance. Sat on balcony. In many write ups it sounds more isolated than it is. Other hotels are close which is nice so you have access to other restaurants. The restaurant decor is over sophisticated to the island and the food at the hotel, and generally on Ambergris is ok. We did like the atmosphere at Aji, 20 minutes down the beach walking, and at Wild something (don't remember the name) in San Pedro. Aji was great for a romantic place. Wild (???) was just good food but not fancy. Do the hol chan snorkel trip. Very nice and quick to get to. Eels, turtles, sharks, rays, and all kinds of fish. Go here to snorkel/dive and relax.

"Clean facilities; Friendly staff; Easy tours"
From the moment we booked Coco Beach, the staff was immensely helpful in booking regional flights, arranging tours, room arrangements, warm welcome and attentive service throughout our stay. We were more than happy with our stay and our trip overall.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
We stayed 6 days/5 nights @ Coco Beach Resort. Upon arrival from our Tropic Air flight, we were greeted by our courtesy van shuttle to the pier/dock for our then courtesy water shuttle to the resort. When we arrived at the resort, we were greeted on the pier/dock by two of the resort staff with cool towels to freshen up. We were escorted to the resort […] lobby for check in, then escorted to our room. They already had our bags in the room, provided a map of the island & water taxi schedule for two different companies, as well as restaurants with in walking distance. All of the staff exceeded our expectations of customer service & hospitality! We stayed in the "Luxury Hotel Room" and were pleasantly impressed with everything! When it was time to go home, they again took care of our bags getting them to the pier/dock & on the boat. We had a lovely send off & well wishes with the same two resort staff that had greeted us on day 1. It truly was a great & unBelizeable 6 days and cant wait to go back!

"Fantastic Hotel"
Luxury accommodations, excellent service & cleanliness of rooms & property. Easy to access transportation to San Pedro town: boat, golf cart, bikes. Secure & beautiful location 3 mi north of town. Only drawback was the pool was cold as it was unheated & hadn't warmed up from the season yet. Beautiful surroundings & all staff were very friendly, accommodating, […] & had knowledgable recommendations on activities. I would definitely choose to stay at Coco Beach when returning to Belize. Our villa was great with poolview, full kitchen, etc. We were able to look at some of the other floor plans & would try a beachfront villa next time, with a much larger kitchen & 2 bathrooms. Great relaxing vacation! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel and service"
We loved the resort and did not have anything bad to say about the place. Very easy to rent bikes and golf carts and book excursions through the hotel. The only drawback to the place is that it is 4 miles to town and we got tired by the end of the week going that far for descent priced food and a grocery store. The restaurant at the hotel was good, […] but pricey and the restaurants around the hotel were equally as pricey. Better to eat in town or get food and bring it to your room. Rooms were very clean and nice and the staff could not have been more accommodating! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Resort and rooms are very nice overall. Pool is great and close proximity of dive shop is a plus. Also, restaurant on site is good and the one at resort next door (very short walk) is good especially for breakfast/lunch. However, although our room was cleaned daily (bed made/towels changed) our bathroom was only cleaned one day in four night stay (sink […] was left dirty and trash/empty bottles left in shower) and had to call twice for service as room was still was not cleaned late in the afternoon. Also, help from staff regarding dining could be better as far as quality and location (everything is not both good and close) and when asking for recommendation, I would prefer not to be told "I gave you a list, didnt you look at it". Especially the close part (although some places are not a bad walk in the day time, they are a bad idea to walk at night as it unlit and the terrain varies). Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Beautiful Resort!!!"
Coco Beach is by far the nicest hotel on the island! We had an amazing time!! We stayed in the hotel room and were very comfortable. We still had a view of the ocean! The bed was comfy, the shower was large and beautiful. The staff was AMAZING!! Zoby met us at the dock and walked us to our room. We felt pretty special at this beautiful resort! Every […] day we rented bikes to get around the island on the beach. We got a tour of the beautiful Italian restaurant that will be opening any time! I love the location of this resort. I was happy being far away from town. But if you want to go to town you can take a water taxi (Buy a 1 week pass) I prefer riding a bike on the beach. Everyone at Coco Beach resort were very helpful and very friendly!! Just breathtakingly beautiful at Coco Beach and the beach was beautiful!!! They have free kayaks to take out near the reef and you can snorkel if you like! There are restaurants on either side of the resort and a little grocery store at Captain Morgan's near by. No need to go to town. We loved to ride our bikes to Ak'Bol up the beach for morning yoga on the ocean!! Also eating at Ak'Bol is cheap and tasty! Eating at the sister resort next door (Belizian Shores) is also reasonable and pretty good. You can also order food from the gorgeous bar at Coco Beach. I highly recommend Coco Beach for anyone!

"Coco Beach Resort Belize"
Our stay at the Coco Beach Resort on Ambergris Caye, Belize was very nice. The resort is well designed with all rooms facing either the pool or the beach. The bar area is the central focal point, with both swim-up and dry seating. The bar staff is fun and professional. Bar prices are on the high side though, with all alcohol carefully measured. The […] location is great, about 3.5 miles north of San Pedro. We always felt safe, and walked to many places including San Pedro. Water taxis are available off the hotel dock going either north or south. The Capricorn restaurant is a short walk south, and is not to be missed. The Palapa Bar is also within easy walk or water taxi, and a must see. The staff is great, the drinks big and strong, and the location amazing. Take bug spray and something to treat bug bites. If you are sensitive to insect / mosquito bites, you will want to come prepared. This is the one downside to Belize, but worth the challenge. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"A fantastic experience"
The resort is terrific. The staff was very attentive. Tour options with Tuff-E-Nuff were fantastic as well. They open the new restaurant at the resort in December so that should help food options. Since the resort rooms often feature kitchens it is a good idea to bring some food along for snacking as the prices are a bit high. overall a great venue, […] a place I'd recommend to others.

Within 60 days, the Bedford County School Board hopes to have a clear direction from the County Board of Supervisors as to how much the board will be willing to ante up to build a new secondary school in the Liberty Zone.
Whether that school will be a middle school, high school or some hybrid between the two remains to be seen—and it all hinges on how much money the supervisors will be willing to borrow for the construction project.
The Board of Directors of Bedford Memorial Hospital and Oakwood Health and Rehabilitation Center have endorsed a plan to transfer full ownership of the facilities to Centra in 2014.
Since 2001, the 50-bed community hospital and 111-bed long-term care facility have been co-owned by Centra and Carilion Clinic. Carilion will sell its 50 percent ownership to Centra.
Bedford County had six local elections this year — three for board of supervisors and three for school board. All six were unopposed elections.
After winning their seats for Bedford Town Council in the special election held this past May, the top four vote-getters thought they wouldn't have to run again for another four years while three were scheduled to have to run in the Nov. 2014 elections.
You can throw those expectations out the window; all the council seats will be up for grabs in that election scheduled for just over a year from now.
Why? Because the Census dictates it.
Monday was Michael Stokes' last day as the county's director of parks and recreation.
"Tuesday [Sept. 10] morning I was told by the county administrator that the board had decided to terminate me effective yesterday," Stokes said in a Tuesday morning phone interview.
Some new residents of the town of Bedford who were concerned they wouldn't be able to hunt on their property anymore, are a step closer to not having to worry about that by the time deer season opens.
Residents of the new town of Bedford will soon be receiving their first tax tickets from Bedford County and the town of Bedford, which will be a change from what they have experienced in the past.
Real estate in the former city of Bedford was taxed on a fiscal year cycle with the tax year beginning July 1 and ending June 30. County taxes are on a calendar year cycle, so town residents will receive a tax bill from both the county and the town covering the time period of July 1 – December 31, 2013.
Montvale Park will get most of the money needed for its completion.
According to Michael Stokes, Bedford County's director of parks and recreation, $267,000 is needed to complete the park. He said there is currently $139,000 in the capital improvement plan for the park.
Bedford County Sheriff Mike Brown appeared before the board of supervisors, during a work session Monday to defend his office's use of a license plate reader (LPR).
It was no secret that Sheriff Brown was interested in a license plate reader. In an interview with the Bedford Bulletin, published in the March 3, 2011, edition, Sheriff Brown listed technology initiatives he wanted to implement in his final term in office, including one utilizing automatic license plate recognition.

A True Christian Historical-Fiction Novel
With extremely realistic characters, gorgeous settings, and a shiny ribbon of history woven in, A Lasting Impression was carefully created to showcase a truly wonderful story. Tamera Alexander swirled just the right ingredients into this Belmont Mansion Novel.. A girl afraid of the surfacing of her past, a man with regrets from his own past and hopes for his future, a wealthy-beyond-imaginition woman with a curt hospitality, and even a touch of mystery... An innocent romance swells and deepens by the end of the book, giving the romantic-at-hearts something else to love about this novel.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
From Sutton Monroe's blunt honesty to Claire Laurent's shy uncertainty, the characters were very thoroughly developed. I could vividly envision each one's actions and followed the story very well because of the author's enthusiasm for describing. And when Adelicia Acklen directly--and very intensely--met Claire's eyes, I could almost feel the humility, embarrassment, or incompetence resulting from such an intimidating stare!
The author's writing style is unique, though odd for me at times, but all in all, it worked nicely with the storyline. I felt that the middle was a little long and maybe too drawn out. In the end, though, the novel came together artfully and completely. I could clearly see that the author thought out the details and characters of her story prior to writing it.
As I mentioned previously, even though there is an underlying love story within the book, I would not consider A Lasting Impression to be a romance novel. It is more of a historical and a story of redemption.
I have learned that Tamera Alexander truly desires for everyone to take a step closer to God as they read her novels, and I feel as though I have. After reading A Lasting Impression, I found it to be one that has left me contemplating Ephesians 2:10. I thank God for the blessing of a talented writer who is faithfully devoted to creating as if it was "only for Him."

It's short after the Civil War.
Claire Laurent used to forge paintings for her father and `uncle'. Determined to start a new life she leaves the place that her `uncle' has send her to. She gets a job at the Belmont Mansion and starts working for Adelicia Acklen as her personal liaison. Claire and Mrs. Acklen both enjoy art. Claire doesn't tell about the forgery and soon it becomes a burden for her.
In her position as liaison she can use her talents to paint kids toys and gift boxes for guestst. But Claire biggest desire is to paint real paintings and make a name for herself.
Sutton Monroe works as a lawyer and is manager of Belmont. His father was killed in the war and the government threatens to take his family property. If that happens Sutton will loose everything.
He's working on a big case for a client who bought a forged painting with documents. They try to get after the person who's behind the forgeries. If he can win this case he'll get a lot of money and his future is secure.
Claire and Sutton both live at Belmont and share the meals with Mrs. Acklen and her children. They fall in love, but there are some obstacles that needs to be cleared away before there might be a future for them together.
What will happen with their love if Sutton finds out about Claire's past?
I really liked Claire's character. She was sweet, lovely and humble. Sutton was the real gentleman.
Mrs. Acklen was a great character too. I loved to see how she and Claire bonded.
The servents -exept for Mrs. Routh- were very nice too! I loved them all!
I really enjoyed this book and also looked a lot at the cover and tried to imagine myself in such a beautiful dress!
Personally I prefer the settings of Tamera's previous books, but as I already said - the writing in this book is excellent!

great Southern historical fiction
This is the second historical novel I read from Tamera Alexander and I liked it even better than the first one I read. Maybe because it was set in the South just after the Civil War and it also dealt with the world of art. Claire Elise Laurent, A French artist who immigrated to the United States as a child, is taught by her parents to forge famous paintings so that her father can sell them. After her mother dies and her father is attacked and killed, she runs and ends up working at Belmont Mansion as a personal liaison to Adelicia Acklen, one of the wealthiest women in the US in the 1860s. Claire longs to paint her own creations and learns to become self-confident even as she hides her past. She meets Sutton Monroe, an attorney, who is attracted to her but is suspicious of her past, and is also investigating the art fraud case. To say this book is well researched is an understatement. The author brings history to life, especially among the elite Nashville society. Belmont Mansion actually exists and so did Adelicia Acklen. The characters are vivid, along with the setting that I easily pictured the story in my mind. I especially liked how the author brought Adelicia to life, along with her household. Claire's character grows as she is given responsibilities that feed her self-worth. The plot unfolds well and at a good pace. I was hoping for more action regarding the art fraud case and thought that it was handled a little too quickly toward the end, especially since this was what the whole story was leading to'how Claire redeems herself and how she would get off having forged famous paintings! However, this is minor and did not take away my enjoyment of a good ending to a good story. I highly recommend this one to all lovers of good Christian historical fiction. It will not disappoint!

A Post Civil War Romance
A Lasting Impression, another strong romance by Tamera Alexander, takes the reader from her Western settings to the war-torn state of Tennessee a year after the Civil War.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
Plenty of conflict abounds in this absorbing novel, from the young lawyer who has lost everything from fighting on the wrong side to the young heroine who dreams of painting masterpieces, but who must hide her sordid past of painting forgeries once she begins a new life.
Claire Laurent, the heroine is saved from penury and worse when she gets the job of personal assistant to the wealthy owner of Belmont, where she seems to be given a new chance at life.
Sutton Munroe, the hero, fighting to regain his family's lands and his father's good name,
cannot begin rebuilding his life as long as he carries around the guilt of having prevented his father from signing the Oath of Allegiance (to the Union). He is haunted by the knowledge that he caused his father's death and sentence of treason.
As the two hide their growing attraction, Claire knows time is against her. The past finally catches up with her and it is only by coming to the knowledge that God is on her side and cares for her that she is able to own up to it and face the consequences. The spiritual thread is deftly woven into the love story.
I would have enjoyed seeing Claire come clean sooner and read about the developing relationship between Sutton and Claire once he knew the truth than have a relationship built on her hiding so much of her past from him. That said, Alexander writes a powerful story about a young woman whose self-esteem has been badly destroyed by her father and who gradually comes to the knowledge of the Savior's love for her and that her talent is God-given.

Excellent Read
I recently finished another great historical fiction book, A Lasting Impression, by Christian author, Tamera Alexander. The vibrant detailed setting of the Belmont mansion was breathtaking. Tensions from the recent Civil war are apparent and the currents of conflict are plausible as they interplay within the characters. I was left with a desire to know more about the mansion and the real life characters that inspired her work. I also found a new favorite author and am looking forward to getting my hands on another of her masterpieces.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

I received a copy of A LASTING IMPRESSION by Tamera Alexander, from Bethany House. It is the first book in the Belmont Mansion series. I had never heard of Belmont Mansion in Nashville before. After reading this novel, though, I have added the mansion to my list of vacation destinations. The atmosphere sounds amazing, and I want to walk the ground just like the characters. I looked up the house online while I read, so I could picture some of the rooms. It brought the story even more to life.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

The story involves Claire Laurent, an aspiring painter in New Orleans. Her father, owner of an art gallery, forces her to make forgeries for him to sell. When the art studio is broken into, one of his friends sends her to Nashville where they'll start a new business. When she gets there, the man she's supposed to stay with threatens her, and she learns her father is dead. Through the help of a reverend, she is hired as a liaison to Adelicia Acklen, one of the richest women in America. The fact that she is a real woman, and that author used some of her own letters to create dialogue for the character, cemented my love for the book. I felt as if I was traveling back in time, to a grand mansion inhabited by wonderful people.
Through twists and romance, A LASTING IMPRESSION kept me on the edge of my seat, eager to discover more. I even took the novel with me to work to read during my break and lunch. I look forward to reading the next installments in the series.

Controlling an anti-missile system? There's an app for that. A mobile program developed for the U.S. military serves as a refresher tool for troops assigned to the Patriot anti-missile system.
With $30,000 up for grabs and more than 50 entries, the U.S. Army's app-development challenge will be a fight to the finish when the winners are announced next week at the LandWarNet Conference in Tampa, Florida.

I am not against bringing in hospitality trade if people want to come and enjoy Vallejo. However, there should be some attention paid to the needs of downtown and south Vallejo residents for basic necessities.
People living close to downtown without ready transportation deserve a place to buy some good, reasonably priced, healthy food. Not insubstantial, there could be jobs and employment possibilities for some of the people living downtown who need work and job opportunities.
I sometimes utilize the "convenience" stores which are in the downtown area, as it is not always easy to go to one of the larger supermarkets, which are at the further reaches of the city. In these stores merchandise is sometimes priced, receipts are haphazard.
There is plenty of soda, liquor, wine, cigarettes, and "junk" food of all description. One cannot purchase a single piece of fruit, or a fresh vegetable in any of these stores, nor are there ingredients with which to make a nutritious meal!!
A few boxes of breakfast cereals (many with sugar added) and some canned goods.
The problem of the Safeway store vacating its location downtown is still in need of addressing to help re-vitalize downtown business in general and encourage other businesses to locate downtown (pharmacies, hardware stores, etc.), which could offer secure employment for residents, as well as tax receipts to the state and city.
I realize that companies look at demographic information, and probably see that downtown has a lower income average than the northern and eastern parts of the city, but that does not mean that some of those higher income people who come to the Farmer's Market for instance, might not choose to shop downtown if there were a grocery store of quality at reasonable prices.
It would be great to see a good grocery store located downtown!

Corinne has been nominated for an International Opera Award in the Young Singer category.
Corinne's first album, Canción amorosa, has been released -- learn more on the Album page, then order the CD or download the digital album today!
Corinne will return to Opera Theatre of Saint Louis in summer 2015 to sing her first Magda in La Rondine.
Corinne will make her role/house debut as Donna Anna in the Vlaamse Opera Antwerp Don Giovanni in spring 2015.
Corinne will make her Tatiana debut in Arizona Opera's Eugene Onegin in the 2014-2015 season.
Future seasons include debuts with the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Canadian Opera Company, Opernhaus Zürich, and Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, among others.
The American premiere of Dr. Sun Yat-sen at Santa Fe Opera is a hit! The New York Times says:
"The emotional fulcrum of the opera turned out to be the soprano Corinne Winters...an outstanding actress as well as a singer of extraordinary grace and finesse. The aria in which she laments the miscarriage she suffered during an attempt on Sun's life was profoundly moving. Musically, too, her appearances are among the richest in the opera..."
Opera News agrees:
"Central to the production was Corinne Winters, a potent, luminous performer, as Soong Ching-ling. Winters generated the energy that drove the production and became an iconic figure for the suffering caused by revolution."
Corinne and tenor Joseph Dennis sing the Act I love duet and Act II marriage duet from Huang Ruo's Dr. Sun Yat-sen at Santa Fe Opera in July 2014.
Corinne talks with Elaine Reyes of CCTV Americas Now about La bohème at Washington National Opera, her debut album Canción amorosa, and singing in Mandarin in Santa Fe Opera's Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?.
The next twenty years will be completely unlike the last twenty years. The decisions you make today are critical. The world is in economic crisis, and there are no easy fixes to our predicament. Unsustainable trends in the economy, energy, and the environment have finally caught up with us and are converging on a very narrow window of timethe "Twenty-Teens." With solid facts and grounded reasoning presented in a calm, nonpartisan manner, The Crash Course explains our predicament and illuminates the path ahead so you can face the coming disruptions without fearing the future or retreating into denial.
Our money system places impossible demands upon a finite world. Exponentially rising levels of debt, based on assumptions of future economic growth to fund repayment, have shuddered to a halt and are reversing, with severe and lasting consequences.
Oil is essential for economic growth. The reality of dwindling oil supplies is now internationally recognized, yet virtually no developed nations have a Plan B. The economic risks to individuals, companies, and countries are varied and enormous. Best case: living standards will drop steadily worldwide. Worst case: systemic financial crises will toss the world into jarring chaos.
This book is written for those who are motivated to learn about the root causes of our predicaments in order to protect themselves and their families, mitigate risks as much as possible, and control what effects they can. With challenge comes opportunity. The Crash Course offers a positive vision for how our lives can become more balanced, resilient, and sustainable.
The world is changing. It's time to get busy. The Crash Course will show you how.
Praise for The Crash Course
"Chris Martenson gave up a successful and conventional career to study the two great problems that we face: running out of critical resourcesespecially carbon-based energyand a congenital failure to process unpleasant facts. Reading The Crash Course will help you recognize how dangerous our future is likely to be and will help you prepare for it. It is a job well done." Jeremy Grantham, cofounder and Chief Investment Strategist, Grantham Mayo Van Otterloo
"Among the handful of observers making sense of the economic scene, Chris Martenson is the most astute, coherent, and comprehensive. Reading Chris is like stepping out of a room full of smoke and mirrors into daylight." James Howard Kunstler, author of The Long Emergency
"Economists did not predict the Great Recession of 2008; Chris did. He looks deeper into the numbers than most and has found a painful future if we do not make a major turn. I deeply appreciate him for doing this work. He uses hard data to back up the self-evident common sense that if we do not consciously manage our natural resources and business relationships to give priority to the common good, we will face dire consequences. This is serious. Read this book." Terry Mollner, Board Member, Ben & Jerry's
"Chris addresses fundamental economic and energy issues in understandable terms and provides engaging perspectives. Readers will learn a great deal from his work." Dr. Robert L. Hirsch, lead author of The Impending World Energy Mess

Pass rusher struggled after breakout season Brad Biggs
If Jason Pierre-Paul didn't get the message during the season, he should have received it by now: Show up for training camp in shape.
New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin said that Pierre-Paul showed up at training camp overweight and said it took well into the second half of the season for him to reach his ideal number of 275 pounds, according to Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post.
It affected Pierre-Paul's performance on the field as he went from 16 ½ sacks in 2011 when the Giants won the Super Bowl to 6 ½.
"He didn't play as well as the year before," Coughlin. "He was big when he came to camp. There's not a lot of body fat (with Pierre-Paul), yes, but still."

THG-Paris At B&C Select Fall Market
THG-Paris gave the West Coast a glimpse of their upcoming Beyond Crystal collection, their second partnership with Baccarat during Fall Market 2014 at B&C Select at the Laguna Design Center. The display took up a full wall of the showroom and gave attendees a great introduction to the collection.
The full day event included a cocktail and macaroon reception in the early evening, followed by an exclusive, intimate VIP dinner hosted by THG-Paris at Raya at the Ritz in which designers learned more about the artistry and craftsmanship involved with making each one of a kind fixture. Tables sparkled with THG "jewelry" and the conversation flowed during a special dinner of French cuisine and wine.
Beyond Crystal is a vibrant, jewelry inspired contemporary design with THG's introduction of an innovative LED system. A dramatic, elongated spout inspired by a swan's neck also adds to its allure. As in THG's successful first series with Baccarat, Petale de Cristal, Beyond Crystal is meticulously hand crafted and exemplifies the impeccable color and quality standards of Baccarat and THG.
