For the past week, Ellen O'Connor has been working in her new position as executive director of the Evergreen Park and Recreation District.
After extensive interviews with O'Connor and two other finalists, members of the EPRD board unanimously chose O'Connor to serve as head of the park district on Nov. 12 — a position she officially began the following day.
What better way to spark the interest of fourth-graders at Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen in science and technology than to have them build and program robots?
Minds and hands were thoroughly occupied last Friday as the students worked in small groups to assemble 75 Lego-like pieces into small robots.
The next assignment was naming the robots — things such as "Wall-e" from the Pixar movie, Broncobot, Henry and Bob — followed by using computers to program the robots to change course when they ran into something.
Norm Meyer Sr., 97, an iconic figure in the Conifer area, died Friday in his sleep.
Meyer, whose ranch property and Midway House act as a gateway into the Aspen Park area, also was an avid pilot. He and the community bid farewell to his Cessna 180 in August 2010 as it flew to its new home in Hotchkiss on the Western Slope. He was inducted into the Aviation Hall of Fame in 2011.
Evergreen resident Linda Castle will begin her new position as managing director of the Evergreen Downtown Business Association on Jan. 1. She is replacing former EDBA president Trish Wales, who resigned last summer.
"We are delighted to welcome her in this position, and know her expertise will further the success of our community events and activities, and will add to the economic vitality in our unique arts, cultural and commercial district," said EDBA board member Joan Mickelson.
Hey, big spender — and small spenders: Don't forget your favorite local stores this holiday season, especially on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 29.
Evergreen Christian Outreach and the Mountain Resource Center continue their efforts to assist needy people during the holiday season. From food drives to the annual Thanksgiving Turkey Trot in Evergreen, mountain area residents have many opportunities to participate in charitable giving.
Evergreen Fire Protection District officials plan to add new user fees and to increase existing fees by up to 15 percent to offset an expected drop in property-tax revenue in 2015.
Probably the biggest proposed fee — fire officials plan to charge drivers $500 for traffic accidents the district responds to, said Fire Chief Mike Weege. Only drivers who live outside the district would be charged, since they don't the pay property taxes that make up the majority of the fire district's revenue.
In her role as principal for a day, first-grader Josephine Trinco greeted students, oversaw a fire drill and learned about top-level responsibilities at Wilmot Elementary School on Nov. 18.
Accompanied by principal Matt Cormier, Josephine visited classrooms and handed out birthday cards to students after leading her classmates in the Pledge of Allegiance and making morning announcements.
During her tour of the school, Josephine asked students if they would like to create a new rule for the day. One suggestion was to allow gum-chewing in class.

After taking a brief trip To The Moon just days ago, Chicago emcee YP contiues to give fans a taste of what they can expect on his upcoming mixtape No Doz thanks to his latest song release. While To The Moon was heavily thought provoking, the emcee's latest cut Trade It All serves as a celebratory record for the Universal Republic signee. YP speaks on his gradual come up as he raps, "All the nights out in the cold remember those/ See all those losers need to know is I'm winning yo." The rest of the record serves as a lyrical whirlwind of champagne, centerfold models, and fast whips which is all set to Hit-Boy's combination of drum rolls and light keys. Lookout for both Trade It All and To The Moon when YP's No Doz mixtape is released next week Monday, on August 13.

An indictment says Jonathan Keith Adair had a 9 mm pistol in July 2012 in Panola County and that he had previously been convicted of a crime.

by Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — Five Cueball thoughts for Sunday, Nov. 23, 2014…
1. Downtown restaurants…
With the opening of Rocco's Restaurant, in the former Lunchbox location, Monday, I've noticed an interesting trend. Downtown Wellington will have eight restaurants in the vicinity. Since moving here in 1992, I can't remember Wellington having that many.
There is Rocco's serving Italian, El Chili Verde serving Mexican, Fabiola's serving Mexican, Barefoot Jerry's serving American dishes; The Dore serving American dishes; Wishing Well serving homestyle food; Best of the Orient, serving Chinese; The Donut Shop serving great donuts; and Big Cheese Pizza serving pizza.
That's quite a selection – all businesses owned by local people. It's as if we have our own food court.
Ultimately, the onus is on you the customers to keep these businesses thriving. Downtown Wellington can only survive if it provides something unique that you can't find elsewhere in town. But it is a two-way street. You, the customers, have to support these unique businesses.
The downtown has always been the lifeblood of the community – and that hasn't changed.
If you're hungry go get something to eat downtown. And while you are there kill two birds with one stone and get a little of your Christmas shopping out of the way.
And if you aren't downtown, Penny's Diner, Andy's Restaurant, The Great Wall, Pig Shack, Good Taste Chinese, Mi Casita and the various fast-food restaurants are sure to satisfy your tastebuds.

Following last week's announcement that Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellan would return to the X-MEN franchise in Bryan Singer's DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Fox is currently in negotations with additional stars in the original feature film, including Halle Berry, James Marsden, previously reported Hugh Jackman, and more.
Berry, Marsden, and the other unnamed cast members in talks to return have not finalized any deal yet, they're reported to be some "willingness to participate because of Bryan (Singer.)"
The returning characters would only be featured in an alternate, dystopian version of the world, in which giant robots called 'Sentinels' have come to eradicate the entire race of mutants.
X-MEN director Bryan Singer revealed on Twitter last week that the cast will also welcome back James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and Nicholas Hoult.
The last installment of the franchise, X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, was set in 1962 when the United States government enlisted the help of Mutants with superhuman abilities to stop a malicious dictator who is determined to start world war III.
X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST will act as something of a sequel to 'First Class'. Days of Future Past is taken from two issues of Marvel Comics' Uncanny X-Men in 1981. The story was set in an alternate future in which surviving mutants were confined to concentration camps, while most of the X-Men had been killed. In order to stop this dismal future from unfolding, the X-Men had to stop a specific event from occurring in the past.

Subject: New Sick Leave Policy
Is the
I have 2 main concerns:
1) This sets up a perverse incentive system in which no one would want to serve on committees. For example, the person who is sick for one EPC committee meeting gets penalized while the person who never serves maintains all his/her sick leave.
2) If they're going to treat us like hourly employees, maybe they ought to start giving us hourly employee benefits such as: a) a 12-month salary instead of a 9-month salary spread over 12 months, b) jobs that don't require working on nights & weekends, and c) paid vacation.
A third, related, concern is that there seems to be a new trend toward charging women sick leave when they take maternity leave. When I had my son in 1996, they didn't do this. Now it's being done regularly. So in essence, we don't really have a maternity leave benefit anymore.
Your thoughts?

To: "Academic year faculty"
From: "Susan R. Johnson" <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Reply-to: email@example.com
Subject: [UnivAdm] Revision to the guidelines on Sick leave reporting
Status: RO
Please note that we have slightly revised the faculty specific guidelines at the end of the memo, in order to make them more clear. The new guidelines are
1. Absences should be reported if they involve missing a class, faculty or committee meeting, or any other University-based obligation, even if rescheduled or covered by someone else.
2. Absences of less than half a day that do not involve missing a class, faculty or committee meeting do not need to be reported.
To all academic-year faculty who receive sick-leave benefits:
Beginning January 2006, all academic-year faculty members will submit sick leave online monthly. Fiscal-year faculty and all University staff already have been using this system now for some time.
What to report: At the end of this message is a description of the University sick leave policy, and additional guidelines that provide flexibility based on the way faculty work.
How to report: You will access the reporting form through the Self-Service Website https://hris.uiowa.edu/portal/. After you have signed in with your HawkID, you will go to the main screen, where the link for reporting sick leave is labeled "Employee Time Records."
If you took no leave: You must submit a monthly time record even if you have no sick leave to report. Click on the first month for which you are reporting, and then "Submit to Human Resources."
Reminders: Each month you will receive an e-mail reminder if you have not yet reported your sick leave for the previous month. You will continue to receive these reminders regularly until you have completed the report.
Online help: If you need help with using the Self-Service Website to submit your sick leave, please go to the following website for instructions: http://www.uiowa.edu/hr/fusim/Docs-PDF/academic_faculty_etrs.pdf .
Offline help: If you have questions about what you are required to report, what kind of sick leave to report, or any other questions about sick leave reporting, please contact your departmental Human
Resources Representative or the Faculty HR
Representative Lori
The University sick leave policy: The University's sick leave policy, in place since 1997 (with minor modifications), has not changed. However, because reporting previously was done on a semester- and departmental-basis, many faculty members are unaware of the details of the policy, which can be found in the University's Operations Manual at: http://www.uiowa.edu/~our/opmanual/iii/22.htm#223.
A few key provisions are:
For the payment of sick leave benefits, faculty members are considered to be "on duty" five days per week, eight hours a day, even though their classes may be scheduled on more or fewer than five days per week.
Absences which can be charged to family caregiving leave under current policies are limited to 5 days per calendar year for full time employee (provided the employee has a sufficient sick leave balance). Any absence in excess of this amount must be reported as leave of absence without pay.
Where funeral leave is authorized by current policy, accumulated sick leave may be used not to exceed 3 days for each occurrence. Sick leave used to serve as a pallbearer may not exceed 1 day for each occurrence.
Sick leave may be used because of a medically-related disability in most circumstances.
Additional guidelines for faculty: The University understands that faculty members do not punch a 9-to-5 time clock, but rather work in a flexible and highly varied employment environment. In order to accommodate this flexibility and at the same time apply the policy with some uniformity across faculty with very different work portfolios, the following guidelines are provided:
Absences should be reported if they involve missing a class, faculty or committee meeting, or any other University-based obligation, even if rescheduled or covered by someone else.
Absences of less than half a day that do not involve missing a class, faculty or committee meeting do not need to be reported.
Thank you for your cooperation with these new procedures.

TRION, Ga. -- Trion City Schools officials closed their investigation without finding any answers into where up to $60,000 in after-school program money went.
The decision came on the heels of Monday night's school board meeting when outside auditor Beverly Smith said she couldn't prove where the money went because most parents didn't respond to inquiries.
Letters were sent to all 235 parents who had children in Trion City Schools' after-school program in the 2010-11 school year, but only 42 responded -- showing $6,596 had been paid during the year, the audit shows.
Officials hired Whittington, Jones & Rudert certified public accountants in October after they discovered the after-school care money possibly was missing and important documents that could have answered questions had been destroyed.
Police had encouraged the audit to establish if any criminal activity had occurred before opening an investigation.
Superintendent Phil Williams said without answers from the audit or the documents -- which were rosters parents signed when checking their child into the program -- the investigation can't go any further.
"It's almost like we're chasing ghosts," Williams said during the board meeting. "There's no documents we can turn to."
School Board Chairman Connie Witt, who retires at the end of the year, said she was concerned that school records had been destroyed.
But no board member offered any other solutions.
After the meeting, Williams said the investigation is closed unless further evidence emerges.
The probe was prompted in August when officials learned of a staggering drop in revenue from the after-school program, which charges families for providing supervision to schoolchildren from 2 to 6 p.m. Parents pay a rate based on how long students attend.
In recent years, the program generated between $50,000 and $60,000 annually. But two years ago, that revenue sank to $32,000, and last year it was about $27,000.
Also, officials can't find any records that show parents were billed for the last three months of the 2010-11 school year, Williams said.
After officials learned of the questionable funds, they said Kelly Blackmon, who was in charge of the after-school program, was fired.
While Williams said in a previous interview that Blackmon was fired in part because of questions about the program, he said that wasn't the only reason.
Trion police and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation agents said they were notified about the missing funds, but they said an outside audit had to prove the funds were missing and not caused by a drop in revenue.
Witt said she is disappointed that the audit didn't provide any answers.
"I don't know if there's any other answers," she said. "I don't know how to get to the bottom."

The Beta LT features an adjustable, helmet-compatible StormHood that doesn't hinder your visibility when you belay your buddy. Its WaterTight Vislon front zipper repels water, and the drop-back hem is adjustable so you're sealed from head to hips in total weather protection while you play outside.

Arc'teryx Beta LT Jacket - Women's
? Share a...
Jen T
Excellent Performance, Great Fit
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Size: 5' 4.75"; between 108-112 lbs. depending on the season. I have the Beta LT in Viridian in size small.
Fit: when thinking about what size you should get, consider the activities you'll be doing--will you be skiing in very cold weather, hiking in variable weather, walking your dog, or ice climbing? This jacket fits true to size, and if you get your normal size, you might not feel comfortable wearing your base and down/synthetic layers underneath. I ski and hike in this (and also bought it with climbing in mind), and though it's a little big (but still flattering) when I'm not wearing layers underneath, it's perfect for those extra layers. To get the most versatility out of this jacket, I would order a size up depending on how bulky your layers are. The hood fits beautifully over a skiing helmet, and though it doesn't have a powder skirt, that's alright--you just have to not fall as much :) Finally, the length is moderately long on me, and I also have a pretty long torso. Because "moderately" and "pretty" aren't very descriptive, I've attached a photo to show where this jacket hits me length-wise. I also have long arms (+1 ape index) and the jacket is long on my arms by about 1.5 inches, but I definitely prefer this over having them being too short.
Because it has Gore-Tex Pro, Arc'teryx decided not to include the pit zips. For me, after skiing in some pretty warm weather, I wished a couple times that there were pit zips, but it is very, very breathable, and this is only a minor complaint. If you're hiking in very warm weather and you don't want to get clammy underneath your jacket, you might want to go with one of their other models with pit zips. I'm a moderate sweater.
As far as general performance goes, in my experience, I haven't found anything better than this jacket. If you're hesitating about the price, just keep in mind that if you take care of this jacket (use a technical gear wash--NOT normal detergent!), you'll have it for years and years.

Awesome picture Jen !!!
I selected this image to feature on the Community Hub at the bottom of the Backcountry.com homepage! Congrats on being utterly GOATWORTHY !!
Does that jacket have pit-zips?
thanks a lot!
Laura Feasler
The Beta LT does not have pit zips. Here's a little piece I just pulled off the Arcteryx website describing differences between the LT and the LT Hybrid, which does have pit-zips:
"The Beta LT uses the Gore-tex "Pro" fabric where the Hybrid uses a mixture of Gore-tex "Standard" and Gore-tex Paclite fabric.
Because of this, the Beta LT will be lighter in weight, more durable and more breathable, but the Hybrid has pit zippers."
thumbs up!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
While my Beta LT has only seen 2 moderate downpours thus far, I am happy with its performance. It starts to soak up water after a bit (it doesn't all bead off) but I stay dry on the inside, which is what really matters, right?
"Viridian" colour is a little teal-er than my monitor suggested but I got past that and am keeping the jacket.
Fit is flattering: I am sausage-shaped, 130 lbs, 5'6", and this jacket makes me look like I actually have curves. That's pretty cool.
lol @ sausage shaped. You most certainly are not. Thanks for the review!

8. dec is fine so long as you complete travel by dec 15th when rates skyrocket and many places require 2 wk stay if going for xmas
4. it is very easy to hop between st. thomas & st. john. 20 or 45 mins ferry ride depending on which st. thomas harbor you use (red hook or charlotte amalie)
2. st. john & st. croix are quite safe. st. thomas somewhat less so particularly if you're going at out night.
you need to tell us your budget in order for us to make any useful suggestions re where to stay/what to do. on st. john many/most people rent villas. would this appeal to your group? you would need to rent a car/jeep. how many are going?

I disagree with Virgina that St. Thomas is safe if we are are considering after dark down town. If you are staying at your ghotel or taking a taxi from your hotel to another and back that is fine. St. Croix is has issues but not to the extent of St. Thomas but so does NYC. St. John on the other hand might be a wiser choice and if you rented a 4 bedroom villa for about $4000-$6000/week and did not stay beyond Dec.15-19 period you could get a nice villas and rent a van for all or part of your stay. In the town you will find a number of small restaurants and bars. Snorkeling is far better off St. John than than St. Thomas or St. Croix, in my opinion. Island hopping is possible from St. Thomas but a bit costly. St. John is a lush island yet has a number of lovely beaches.Hope this helps.

Island hopping from St Thomas is a breeze! St John is a 15 minute ferry ride away 46 each way. Tortola and Jost Van Dyke are about 45 minutes by ferry (need a passport for those), or you can see lots more of the British Virgin Islands on day charters for $150 or so (includes lunch and drinks).
December before Christmas is great. After Christmas, it gets crowded and expensive. And cold!

Need a little more info. How old are you girls? Are you single? What kinds of water activities? Do you want to stay right on a beach? Budget?

After a 17-year absence, millions of cicadas are set to make a comeback in Northwest Indiana.
The periodical brood 13 cicadas are expected to descend upon Lake, LaPorte and Porter counties at the end of May.
The insects are two-inches long with black bodies, reddish legs, wings and eyes.
The cicadas do not bite but agriculture experts say they cause significant damage to trees and don't be surprised if some creep into your home.
A different type of cicada popped up in Michiana a few years ago.

The second study showed that the prevalence of chronic pain had increased from 46.5% at baseline to 53.8% at the 4-year follow-up and that 79% of those with chronic pain at baseline still had it at follow-up. The two most commonly reported causes of pain were back pain and arthritis – accounting for a third of all reported causes. Back pain was the most common problem in men and in the younger age groups, and arthritis was the most frequent cause of pain in women and in the older age. Elliott et al, 1999; 2002 Pain – its costs 2.5 million people have back pain every day of the year [BackCare, 2001] ~ total cost of £12.3 billion (22% of UK healthcare expenditure) ~ with 75% of costs attributable to work loss. It has been estimated that in the UK there are 2,150 million chronic pain days per year, based on a prevalence of chronic pain of 10% [McQuay and Moore, 1997] One in eight unemployed people give back pain as the reason they are not working [BackCare, 2001].

Contributed by David Prunty on 08/29/2006
Ithaca College is pleased to announce the implementation of a number of new laundry systems for the start of the 2006-2007 academic year. These new systems were installed as the result of student feedback, a desire to support Ithaca Colleges sustainability goals, and as a effort to provide better all around service. A task force from many offices worked on the laundry project for over three years and was made up of Robert Mudge (Purchasing), Fernando Gualtieri (ID Office), Zach Newswanger (Residential Life) and David Prunty (Campus Life Services). The laundry changes include:

The proposal that this a robust deal to 51 [percent] is a fraud! They came in here with a prearranged plan to try to strong-arm the players. ... These are professional basketball players. The finest athletes in the world. How do you think they feel about threats? How do you think they feel about efforts to intimidate them? Who negotiates in good faith by saying it's this proposal or 47 percent, we'll make it worse. That's where we are. It's not good faith to the fans, it's not good faith to the players, the players will not be intimidated. ... It's not happening.

Lily heard the shot at seventeen minutes to one. She knew the time precisely because, without looking out the window into the dark where the shot reverberated, she continued fastening the clasp on the diamond wrist watch Everett had given her two years before on their seventeenth anniversary, looked at it on her wrist for a long time, and then, sitting on the edge of the bed, began winding it.

Welcome once again, friends and family, to another episode of my /Silly little web comic. This week we return to world of Azeroth, just in time to find a new father struggling with the unfortunate side effects of bringing a bundle of joy into this world. Whether on a distant fantasy world or here on our very own Earth, some problems are universal, though the way our Orcish friend decides to solve his squalling issue is a little... untraditional.
As a side note, today's comic marks the return of a certain overzealous, cotton candy haired warrior who seems to repeatedly get the short end of an already short stick. I almost feel bad for her. Almost. But not enough to prevent me from putting her through the ringer a few more times.
Thanks for coming around to my little corner of the Internet for another peek inside what little bits of my mind I can spill out on digital paper. I hope you are enjoying my comics as much as I enjoy making them.
-Arthur "Arturis" Orneck can entirely sympathize with the characters in this weeks strip - the baby in particular. Now that the comic is done, he can go drink some milk, burp, and cry himself to sleep.
I so need the gnome mobile

This sounds amazing! Let me know if you will need help along the way. With cross faction grouping, we could all get in on the action.
Evidently, yes, they do :)
Hugging a creeper is a quick death at least.
Thanks for the love and I echo your sentiments on the Minecraft movie, though I'd never hug a creeper.
Ive been waiting for FF14 to have a modern world setting, and it looks like Dreams Office will be exa- wait, what? Its three words? Ice? Dammit. No conference room boss fights, then?
With Garrisons they do want OTHER people who are in your party to be able to enter your garrison and par take in the Garrison invasions, Because as it stands right now on the beta its super hard to do the garrison invasions solo. Even with 625 ilvl gear(heroic dungeon lvl gear) I cant solo it as a ret pally with 5 lvl 100 followers and what not. I have a hard time just getting enough points to get Bronze never mind silver or gold. Something that I am wondering is if you bring friends into your Garrison can they use your buildings and if they can talk to the NPC's that give you the 4hr buff towards some sort of non raiding buff.
Right now the blacksmith follower gives you a 4hr buff where your armor takes no damage lose and you have a chance to spawn a fire elemental to help you fight. If you die you lose this buff by the way!
For the whole Garrison follower system as it sits right now their are MANY levels of follower systems in play right now. Their are short quests long quest quests that takes then a day or 2 to do. Boss quests item quest and all sorts of stuff like that. They just talked a bit about how you can send a group of followers (IF you get the quest in the follower mission page to show up) to go to a raid lvl boss/monster, If they kill it they have a chance to come back with loot EQUAL to the lvl of raiding you have done. So if you clear x amount of mythic raiding boss's it has a chance to give you mythic ilvl loot. Like I said above you followers can help you with garrison invasions and what not. So if your follower is out doing a mission they wont show up and be able to help you out. Also if you set a follower to a building you cant send them out on missions. Also one of your building at max level lets you pick ONE of your followers to follow you around while you quest and I do think they help you kill stuff. No idea if they get exp for helping you or what not.
For me I am a big fan of the Draenei but sadly I do not play Alliance so I dont get to see all their back story and what not. This expansion brings in ALOT of major faces from the Draenei that people dont know about that are very MAJOR in the lore of Wow. I also look forward to seeing Nerzhul b4 he became the Lich King.
And a new Loot Cave has already been found. >_>
Man, reader rabbit, that takes me back. That title and math blaster, great stuff for kids.
I am definitely a Sword Art Online fan (though I haven't watched 2 yet) but I have'nt gone near Maplestory in what feels like 15 years...
This mod is pretty fun. I was able to set up a multiplayer server. Wasn't hard at all just annoying getting the map pack to work. Other wise this was a great mod find and I am enjoying it alot. I will say you die to hunger alot at the start of the game. You spend like 5 mins reading and by then you lost 2-4 hunger bars. Also its multiplayer is really nice the quests are shared so are the rewards and you have the option to make it so they dont. Their is also 6 small islands with the same set up so you can have other people play on it as well. But all in all I really am enjoying this mod. Thanks for the find and the post about it
At first I thought this would be like Hatblock but it looks to be so much more. Still not a fan of the launcher but at least now you've provided some insight for others who might decide to give it a shot and not just rage quit.
I am shocked its hard to find more MC mods like this. But in due time when Mojong puts out their game mode they have been testing in to the baseline of the game. We will see alot more mods like this and I look forward to it. I will see if I can set this mod up for 2 player play for me and Kardon to play. Thank you for the insight on this mod as well and on how to set it up with the Launcher

I just posted a comment about Law Guardians and in one of the answers I received, there was mention about the LG working with the children to find out where they would prefer to be, what parent. Unless the child was deemed incompetent due to age. Is there a certain age that a child has to be for this decision?
No, there is not a certain age, other than when they turn 18 family court no longer controls who has "custody." The attorney for the child will meet with their children and the judge will consider their position and desires relative to their ages. The younger they are, the less their opinion matters. In general, once children hit their teen years, their desires are most often followed by the court. Children between the ages of 10-12 is more of a grey area, with some courts taking their desires seriously and others not. The particular maturity of a child is also considered; if the attorney for the child feels that their client, no matter what their age, is able to make a sound decision as to where they want to live, that attorney should advocate that position.
However, as I stated earlier, that is just that attorney's opinion. Your attorney would also advocate your position, as would the father's. The attorney for the child does not necessarily prevail in what they want for their clients.
There is no black and white answer to this. If the child is old enough to express an opinion, they'll usually be appointed an attorney. That child's preference is just one of many factors the court will take into consideration. The child's preference will be given more weight by the court the older the child is. Late teens, just about always goes the way the child desires. Single digit age, the child's preference is given MUCH less weight.
While there is no hard and fast rule, I have found that all things being equal, a judge will start to take a child's wishes seriously once the child turns 14. Again, it is based on the maturity and intelligence of the child in question.
It varies based upon the maturity of the child. There is no set age in NY.
Good luck.

Hoi An's full moon festival recommended for tourists
HA NOI (VNS) — Hoi An in central Viet Nam has been recommended by the world-known travel guide Rough Guides as one of the destinations that offer the most interesting night activities.
In 20 unforgettable things to do at night on your travels, Rough Guides features Hoi An's full moon festival alongside the "white nights" in Russia, "twilight ballooning" in New Mexico, "early risers" at a London market, "a night Safari" in Singapore Zoo, "light show" in Hong Kong and "to feed Hyenas in Ethiopia," among others.
"Banish the thoughts of glow paint ravers on crowded Thai beaches; Hoi An's full moon festival is a much more sophisticated affair," the guide recommended.
Rough Guides is a leading publisher of travel and reference information known for its "tell it like it is" attitude, accurate, up-to-date content and informed contemporary writing.
"Every month on the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar, the town switches off its street lights as glowing silk lanterns, performers and food stalls fill the cobbled streets and the Thu Bon River is lit up with beautiful floats," Rough Guides has stated on its website.
Stubbornly traditional and jam-packed with attractions, the small city of Hoi An also exudes a laidback, almost dreamy atmosphere that makes it an essential destination on any tour of the country.
The Hoi An Ancient Town of the central Quang Nam Province was recognised as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 1999.
In accordance with UNESCO's world cultural heritage criteria, the Hoi An Ancient Town is an outstanding material manifestation of the fusion of cultures over time in an international commercial port; and an exceptionally well-preserved example of a traditional Asian port. Besides diversified architectural relics, Hoi An still retains intangible cultural activities with cultural festivals, traditional crafts and cuisine styles. — VNS
