APEX CATERING For Wedding, Corporate, Party, Medieval & Event Themed Caterers
Based In Cardiff, South Wales & Gloucester, S.W. England
Apex Catering - The Professional Caterers in wedding, corporate, bufets, medieval and party catering for over thirty years in South Wales and Southern England. From fine dining to Hog Roasts and BBQ's to historically acurate and authentic Medieval Banquets and Feasts, the aim of Apex is to offer a high quality catering service, and to use fresh, good quality 'in season' local produce. Much of the salad, herbs and vegetable crops we grow ourselves on our Market Garden Farm and we source meats very locally from small-holder farms known to us. Although we provide menus and prices for each category on our website these menus are generally taken as a guide - we rarely cater for events with an identical menu. Our approach is to work with our clients, to give a flexibility and choice for creating a menu that is truly the client's own. We are fully equipped with the latest commercial mobile catering equipment; meaning we are able to prepare and serve whatever you require, wherever your venue is located, from a castle to the local village hall. Over the years we have built good relationships with some of the best wedding venues in South Wales and SW England - including Duffryn Gardens, Treowen House, Caerphilly Castle, Usk Castle, Abergavenny Priory etc. We would be pleased to recieve a call from you to discuss any aspect of catering for your event, our event managers can put together a whole theme, including marquees, entertainments, drinks and all aspects of hire. APEX CATERING. We also work closely with Historical Foods in designing our Medieval menus.
Our Main Locations & Areas of Catering Are In Cardiff, Newport, Gloucester, Worcester, Hereford, Bristol, Cheltenham & Bath.
Having our own equipment (some bespoke, manufactured specifically for the job by Embers Catering Equipment) means Apex can operate virtually anywhere. Whether catering for private celebrations for ten people to the really large corporate events for 50,000, we can produce equally as well from a client's kitchen or a field kitchen
Wedding Menus
At Apex we give you as much choice and flexibility as possible, providing you with unmatched care on your special day. We have supplied a high quality, stylish and professional catering service for the wedding breakfast and the evening celebration for over 30 years.We are here for you and we take great pride in helping to make your event even more special. Every event we cater for is different, so we are happy to design a tailor-made menu around your needs, if you visit our parent site at www.oakden.co.uk our seasonal recipes could give you some wonderful ideas. However, as a guide, please see our popular set menu options under the page link 'wedding menus', which may be exactly what you are after. In terms of serving, you may choose to have a meal with three or five courses, all waitress served, or something equally exquisite, yet more informal, with your guests coming to the serving tables, (the top table is always served to the table). GO TO THE WEDDING MENUS
A Medieval Banquet Or Feast
We make the food and atmosphere as authentic as possible: unlike nearly every other company we do not offer our food as a Medieval theme, but historically accurate food as a Medieval feast. Your guests are welcomed and the start and the banquet is announced (when you have requested it). Wenches or serving men will serve the starter to each guest and then the following courses are brought to table on large wooden serving boards from which guests help themselves. Our servers will help serve, carve and clean the table at each remove. For these courses, traditional bread trenchours (edible plates) on wooden platters and a dagger are used, but cutlery and/or crockery can be supplied if desired.
Corporate & Business Catering & Menus
We have worked for some of the largest businesses in the UK, from Jaguar, Lloyds Of London, SWALEC, the M.O.D, Ford, BMW, etc., with many repeat custom and annual functions permanently on our books. We are a trusted name in catering, and have been for over 30 years, for all your catering needs we can offer you a great menu, a good price and fantastic foods.We have fed over 20,000 people a day, and can easily put together a function for up to 5,000. However, we also do private, smaller functions for just 50 people, please give us a call to discuss your needs.

About Us: APEX CATERING Weddings, Parties & Event
Welcome to the online site of Apex Catering. We are proud to be celebrating our 32nd anniversary in catering this year and wish to thank all our past clients for all their support. We are mainly based in South Wales and Southern England, and we have the expertise, knowledge and equipment to carry out all forms of Wedding, Party, Corporate, Themed and Historic Foods Catering.
Our Expertise in catering comes from arranging all types of events from Weddings, small VIP Lunches, to larger Works Events and even Fayres for over 30,000 people. Our Knowledge comes from the research we do to continually develop our ideas and recipes. Our Equipment is fully mobile, giving us the ability to setup virtually anywhere, and our dedicated staff will provide an excellent service: contact our event catering manager.
In our business it is all about quality and service; to make your event an informal, yet stylish way of dining at the same time. Therefore we always use the best local meat and local produce, our own high quality equipment, and comply with all of the strictest Food & Hygiene Regulations. Over the years we quickly realised that the main criteria for working with so many clients is the ability to be reliable, be properly equipped and to be fully insured. This means that as clients you are dealing with a fully insured and recognised family business which takes catering seriously - this is why we are proud to have had so many repeat customers and be proud in our ability to win new clients by word of mouth.
The Quality Of Our Food
The aim of Apex is simple: to provide fresh 'in season' local produce whenever possible. We grow much of the salad, herbs and vegetable crops ourselves on our Market Garden Farm and the meat we use is sourced very locally, (by small-holder farms all known to us) and reared to exacting standards, with excellent welfare conditions. Your guests will certainly taste the difference with us.
Based in Cardiff in South Wales and Gloucester in SW England we are always on hand 5 days a week to provide you with advice over the phone, or in a one-to-one meeting, to assist you with all your queries and event requests. If you are looking for a professional hog or ox roaster company, with the longest service and experience record in the UK, one that provides high quality and specialist roasting equipment, with a dedicated staff, using local ingredients, (with much of the food from our very own market garden farm) then you have come to right place.

Québec, September 9, 2011 – From September 6 to 9, 2012, Québec City will celebrate the wines of Bordeaux! This festive occasion will mark the 50th anniversary of the fruitful relationship between these sister cities.
In 2010, Québec City was fêted as the guest of honour at the seventh Bordeaux Wine Festival, an international public event dedicated to the wines of Bordeaux and Aquitaine. Following this highly successful experience, Mr. Labeaume expressed his willingness to import and adapt this concept in his own city, specifically during the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec.
Open to all residents of the Capitale-Nationale, the 2012 Bordeaux Wine Festival in Québec City will be the focal event during the sister cities' 50th Anniversary celebrations. This festival will imaginatively pair the wines of Bordeaux with Québec City's regional gastronomic delights. Representatives of the City of Bordeaux will volunteer their experience and expertise to local organizers to ensure the success of this project.
In September 2012, epicures will be invited to discover a variety of vintages from the Bordeaux region, including Médoc and Graves, sweet Bordeaux, Côtes de Bordeaux, Saint-Émilion, Pomerol-Fronsac, Bordeaux & Bordeaux Supérieur, and dry rosé and white Bordeaux. Nearly fifty vineyards will take part onsite.
Activities will be centred in the Espace 400e sector during this event. Pavilions featuring wine and gastronomic tastings will delight residents and visitors alike with new discoveries - the wines of Bordeaux and Aquitaine, as well as gourmet products and alcoholic beverages from the Québec City region. A festival tent decorated in the colours of Bordeaux will be devoted exclusively to our sister city. In addition, a wine school will offer a series of educational workshops to the public.
The dynamic and rich culture of the sister cities will be showcased at the Agora Port de Québec, where a number of live shows and large-scale happenings are planned. Master classes and exclusive activities round out the programming. Finally, restaurateurs across the city will introduce their patrons to the variety and uniqueness of the Bordeaux terroir.
"Wine is to cycling what beer is to hockey. Given the overlapping dates of these two events, it made sense to work closely together to ensure that the 2012 Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec will be the most dynamic, festive and colourful edition yet," noted M. Serge Arsenault, president of the Grands Prix Cyclistes Québec – Montréal. "Over the coming months, we will take tremendous pleasure in working closely with the organizers of the 2012 Bordeaux Wine Festival in Québec City to develop a series of exciting activities and complementary initiatives during the 2012 Grand Prix."
"This festive event held in late summer will attract many epicures to Québec City," noted Mr. Gabriel Savard, Director of Québec City Tourism (QCT). "QCT will launch an enticing promotional campaign spanning the province of Québec, the Ontario market, the northeastern United States and even in France. It will be a golden opportunity to educate these markets on Québec City's unrivalled gastronomic expertise and reputation."
Since 1962, the cities of Bordeaux and Québec have maintained close ties in numerous sectors of activity. Cooperation between the two cities has taken many forms, encompassing a wide range of areas such as economic development and tourism, culture, academia, etc.
Over the past 50 years, trade missions and exchanges have generated a variety of profitable and concrete projects benefitting both regions. The 2012 Bordeaux Wine Festival in Québec City will soon be added to this venerable list, a most appropriate way to mark the anniversary of such a prolific partnership!

I have a 2008 Volvo XC 90 and I put the cross bar racks on the top but the whistling is too much. Will the 32" Fairing eliminate or tone down the noise? I had a Fairing on my rack system before (Ford Fusion) and it worked great but the Volvo has the side 2 rails on the roof.
If anyone has the same issue please let me know if the 32" Fairing helped.

Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen To Kick Off Contest January 16, 2008 At Elm Creative Arts School In Milwaukee
MADISON - Wisconsin schools will participate in a national poster contest being launched in order to commemorate the twelfth anniversary of the National Amber Alert System, Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today. Participating children will create posters that highlight efforts to reunite missing children with their families, and the winner will receive an award at a ceremony in May commemorating Wisconsin's Missing Children's Awareness Day.
"Wisconsin's Amber Alert program is a model partnership of government agencies, private enterprise, and civic-minded citizens," Van Hollen said. "Since the inception of Wisconsin's Amber Alert program in 2003, Wisconsin has had 14 successful Amber Alert activations, resulting in the safe recovery of 20 children."
To kick off the poster contest, Van Hollen will speak tomorrow at 10 a.m. at Elm Creative Arts School, 900 West Walnut Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Representatives of Mayor Barrett's office, the Milwaukee Police Department, and the Milwaukee Public Schools will also be speaking.
The Wisconsin Amber Alert Plan is an effort to enhance law enforcement's ability to respond effectively and efficiently when a child has been abducted in the hope of safely recovering abducted children preventing the victimization of children in Wisconsin. When an Amber Alert is activated, radio and television stations interrupt programming with an emergency tone similar to the one used to warn about severe weather conditions utilizing the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and information about the abduction is transmitted. Certain highway message board signs, too, will transmit messages about a confirmed abduction. Through public notification, the number of eyes and ears on the lookout for the abducted child are increased, increasing the chances of a safe recovery. According to national statistics, 74% of children who are abducted and killed are dead within three hours of being abducted. Therefore, the public's role can be critical to the success of an Amber Alert activation. Persons who locate an abductor should never take any action other than to contact law enforcement.
To activate an Amber Alert, law enforcement applies the following criteria:
The child must be 17 years of age or younger; The child must be in danger of serious bodily harm or death. The initiating agency must have enough descriptive information about the child, the suspect and/or the suspect's vehicle to believe an immediate broadcast alert will help locate the child.
Wisconsin's Amber Alert Plan is a voluntary effort led by the Department of Justice in association with the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association, the Dane County 911, the Department of Transportation, local law enforcement agencies, the Wisconsin Lottery, the Outdoor Advertising Association and other participating agencies.
The Amber Alert system is named in memory of nine-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was abducted while riding her bicycle in Arlington, Texas, in 1996. Her body was located four days after she was reported missing. She had been brutally murdered. These events inspired Dallas-Fort Worth broadcasters to team with local law enforcement, creating a warning system to aid in the search for abducted children.
The Wisconsin Amber Alert program is coordinated by the Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing Children and Adults, which is housed in the Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation.

Podcast Answer Man – Click Here To Listen!
I (Cliff Ravenscraft) launched the Podcast Answer Man podcast back in December of 2006, one year after I started podcasting. I had been approached by several people, asking me to help them figure out how to launch a podcast. Technically, I was still podcasting as a hobby at that time and I had decided to start doing some paid consulting work on the side.
One thing led to another and less than a year, after launching the Podcast Answer Man podcast, I became convinced that I could actually make a living doing podcasting full-time as my career. If you want to hear the full story of how this happened, I would encourage you to listen to Episode 425 of PABL & Episode 88 of FFTH. Today, just a few years later, I'm happy to announce that I've created a very successful podcast network and a podcast and new media consulting/coaching business.
Podcast Answer Man is perfect for the brand new podcaster and seasoned podcasters alike. My goal is consistently encourage podcasters to dream big and to always think about how they can take their podcast to the next level. It's also a great show for anyone who wants to hear how I've taken my passion and turned it into a profitable online business.

Pursuing a Balance Life – Click Here To Listen!
Pursuing A Balanced Life was originally launched in March of 2006. When it started, I (Cliff Ravenscraft), worked as an independent insurance agent, in a family run insurance agency, and had only been podcasting as a hobby for a few short months. In January 2008, I left my career in insurance, after 11 years, to pursue podcasting as my full-time career.
This podcast has served as an audio journal that has chronicled everything that led to my decision to leave my career in insurance and to start my own online business. This podcast contains the most exhaustive account of all the things that I have learned about building my own business and how I've managed to balance all the demands that come along with being an entrepreneur.
I invite you to subscribe and join me as I continue to share all the business and success principles that I learn along the way as well as my pursuit of finding a balance between my focus on my career, my desire to be a great husband and father, my desire to become more physically fit and healthy, and my desire to live a life of faith.

Encouraging Others Through Christ – Click Here To Listen!
The Encouraging Others Through Christ podcast is a show that started out as a show devoted to real talk about real faith. Early on, this was a show that was produced on a weekly basis with a co-host and went by the title of the "About The Church" podcast.
In September of 2011, I released episode 121 where I began to chronicle a major shift in my faith journey. Just a few episodes later, I decided to rebrand this podcast as the Encouraging Others Through Christ podcast. Whenever I tell folks about this show, I always encourage them to start with episode 121 and move their way forward through the episodes. This show is not on any set schedule. I simply record new episodes as I feel led to do so. I hope that, if you decide to check out this podcast, you will be encouraged and inspired in your own journey of faith.

Our Podcast Series Shows
An example of a series podcast would our Hunger Games podcast where we create episodes as we read through each of the books in the series and review each of the movies as they come out. After we have covered all the books/movies, that "series" is considered complete and it will remain as podcast that folks can listen to from beginning to end as they discover it.
Our series podcasts can be devoted to books, movie franchises, television shows, or simply about a topic where we only intend to create a limited number of episodes about that topic. An example of this would be the Virtual Assistant Podcast listed below.
Hunger Games Fan Podcast – Click Here To Listen!
The Hunger Games Trilogy is takes place in a post apocalyptic future were the United States of America has collapsed and Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts.
Each year, two young representatives between the ages of 12 and 18 are selected from each district to participate in The Hunger Games. The televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch.
If you can get over the brutal concept of young kids fighting each other to the death for people's entertainment and the fact that this series was originally written for a very young audience, we feel that you will come to enjoy this series like millions of people around the world have.

While on Spring Break holiday, Stephanie borrowed all the books from her sister and ended up reading all four of them within five days. She was hooked and has read the complete series a total of six times.
In November of 2009, Cliff decided to read the series along with her to find out what she found so fascinating about this story. Cliff was shocked to find that he really enjoyed the story as well and they decided that they would podcast about each of the books chapter by chapter. The podcast also includes their reviews of each of the movies in the Twilight Saga as well as a review of the novella "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner."

The Virtual Assistant Podcast is that I created to to introduce small to medium size business owners to the possibility of becoming more productive and profitable through the principle of delegation.
I, Cliff Ravenscraft, hired my first virtual assistant in January of 2010 and it immediately changed the way I do business. Hiring a virtual assistant was one the best business decisions that I've made. I became so excited about my experiences that I decided to launch a podcast where I could share my virtual assistant journey and where I could answer other people's questions about how they could benefit from having their own virtual assistant.
This show was marked complete after 38 episodes. However, there is no doubt that going through listening to this show from beginning to end would be helpful to anyone who feels like they simply have too much work on their plate!

Weekly Lost Podcast – Click Here To Listen!
The Weekly Lost Podcast is where Cliff and Stephanie's journey into the world of podcasting began back in 2005. While Stephanie had been watching LOST from the very first episode, Cliff had got hooked on the show after catching the last four episodes of the first season. For Cliff, it was the hidden clues and the overall mystery of the island that drew him in.
Cliff had initially started out blogging about Lost and listening to a small handful of Lost Podcasts. Many of Cliff's blog posts highlighting easter eggs and unique theories were picked up by major media outlets like Entertainment Weekly. When Cliff was encouraged by Lost Podcasters, Ryan & Jenn Ozawa, to launch his own podcast, he jumped at the opportunity and convinced Stephanie to join him.
The rest is history which you can read on the GSPN Wikipedia page. While the show was on the air, Cliff and Stephanie produced two podcast episodes every week devoted to the show. They would record an initial reaction podcast immediately following the episode and then they would produce a full weekend review in a live audience setting on the gspn.tv live show page.
Now that the series has come to an end, the production of this podcast has also come to an end. We still list the show here as a podcast series for those who may ever want to go through the archives and to see the roots of where this entire network got its start.

Collins never forgot rootsWritten by Danielle Stanton | | email@example.com
Area business owners remember Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins as generous and personable, someone always ready with a smile or hug, who was still actively involved in not only visiting the businesses he once represented on Toledo City Council, but in helping them grow.
Collins never forgot his South Toledo roots. Like his Irish heritage, he held strongly to that connection. Even when he became mayor, he still helped neighborhood businesses, owners said.
Business Association
Sue Meadows of Caper's Pizza on Byrne Road has known Collins since he was a Toledo Police officer.
When he was a councilman, Collins attended all the Byrne Heatherdowns Business Association meetings. As mayor, he continued to attend.
"He was big on neighborhoods," Meadows said. "He was very personable and he cared deeply about what he believed in and he sure believed in the City of Toledo and that the neighborhood had to be strong."
Collins was a busy guy, Meadows said, but always took time to help with the business association, offering guidance and contacts.
"When you're working and got a group of 20 businesses and trying to bring back the neighborhood and having him so supportive, it was impressive that he would take the time with everything he had to do," Meadows said.
Meadows will remember most the support and direction Collins gave to the South Toledo businesses, and his hopes for the former Southwyck Mall site.
"His heart was for Southwyck," she said. "He wanted something to go in there."
El Tipico
Dina Villa, the owner of El Tipico on South Avenue, said she considered Collins a personal friend and a friend to her business. She said she could always count on Collins visiting in one of his Irish sweaters, one of which had come directly from Ireland.
"He was just always so kind and supportive of our business as a friend," Villa said. "I've never met another man who has that twinkling in his eye. I would never want to cross him, either."
Villa said she was "completely heartbroken" over Collins' death.
"It's shocking, to only have been in office a little over a year," she said. "He supported us and he supports all small business."
Villa recalled Collins taking the time to attend El Tipico's taco-eating contest. She said he had a good time as a judge and was personable with everyone. He had had a funeral and a wedding to go to that day but still made the time to come, she said.
"He always had a hug and a smile for me," she said. "I'm grateful he died doing what he loved the most, caring about his city. He was doing his mayoral responsibilities. God bless him."
Michael's Café & Bakery
Michael Armstrong, owner of Michael's Café & Bakery on Main Street said Collins would visit his business once or twice a week.
"He went through here several times without saying a peep, and stood in line and waited like anyone else. He was a humble, hardworking, nice man."
Armstrong called Collins' death a "tremendous loss for the city."
"He never came in like royalty or like he expected anything," Armstrong said. "If he could come through incognito and never be recognized, he would be happier. He always went around supporting Toledo businesses the best he could. One time I told him, 'If there's anything we can do for you, let me know.' And then the mayor responded very humbly, 'If there's anything else we can do for you as a business owner, let me know, too.'"
Fresh Market
Jeff VanPelt, manager of The Fresh Market on West Central Avenue, said Collins would often interact with people when he visited once or twice a week.
"People always said hello to him, and he was always very friendly," VanPelt said. "When he was first elected, I told him I didn't vote for him and he said, 'Why's that?' And I said, 'Because I live in Michigan,' and he got a big chuckle out of that.
"He's a good guy and I'm going to miss him a lot," VanPelt said. "He had a good relationship with a few guys in the meat market, and he just walked around and shopped like everyone else, always with a smile on his face. Those weeks with the water crisis were tough, but he always had a smile on his face. We're going to miss him."
Wixey Bakery
Brian Wixey of Wixey Bakery on Glendale Avenue called Collins "phenomenal" and said he was a frequent customer. He looked after his community, Wixey said, and his visits there were very personable.
"It was very off-the-cuff and very communal," Wixey said. "We are glad to have shared time together."
Toledo Free Press Associate Editor Tom Konecny contributed to this report.

Evaluation of the Breaking the Cycle Demonstration in Birmingham, Alabama: Final Report
Subtitle/Series Name:
Pub. Date:
Birmingham became the first site in the multi-site research and demonstration BTC project in 1996. The BTC model had four elements: (1) early intervention through identifying offenders eligible for drug treatment immediately after arrest, (2) close judicial oversight of participation in drug treatment, (3) the use of graduated sanctions and incentives to retain offenders in treatment, and (4) close collaboration between criminal justice agencies and drug treatment. The impact analysis used a quasi-experimental design to compare 137 offenders selected prior to full implementation to 245 offenders eligible for the full range of BTC interventions. The evaluation also examined changes in court system operations and the effects of these changes on case disposition, duration, and sentencing. Results revealed consistent indications of reductions in criminal activity and drug use among drug-involved defendants, although less indication of declines in drug-related problems such as physical or mental health problems. The analysis also noted that these results needed interpretation in terms of the actual services delivered, because BTC implementation diverged in important respects from the model initially envisioned. Findings also indicated that BTC made important contributions for the functioning of the justice system in Birmingham despite the implementation problems. Findings indicated the benefits of increased early intervention with drug-involved defendants, although these findings were from only one site and should be considered preliminary. source

5 tablespoons
olive oil
2 cloves
garlic, minced
4 tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley
2 (6.5 ounce) cans
minced clams, with juice
2 (16 ounce) cans
crushed tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
This is a great clam sauce recipe. I had it with salad and home made bread.
I used scallops last night because I didn't have the clams and a 8 oz bottle of clam juice and it was still
good only a little more fish taste.
This recipe was just ok the first time I made it. I made it a second time with a few changes and it came out great. I used 1/3 cup olive oil, 3 cloves of garlic instead of 2. Two finely chopped green onions. I used the juice from 1 can of clams and discarded the juice from the other. I added 1 cup of white wine and and a few dashes of red pepper flakes. Let the sauce simmer for about ten minutes so it can thicken a bit (from the added wine. DO NOT cook it for 45 minutes. The family loved it!
9 Ratings
Good and quick and easy. I added some basil and it turned out excellent!
simmer the clams 45 minutes?? that can't be right, maybe 4 to 5 minutes?
So simple you cant mess it up, tastes wonderful. I was wondering what to do with the can of minced clams I had in the cupboard. Used fresh tomatoes and dried parsley bc its what I had. Yummy.
So good and so easy.
Good recipe. It's not something to rock your world(or get you tons of compliments) but it's good and quick for a night when you have no idea what to make. I usually have the ingredients on hand so I may make it again.
--- By the way the prior reviewer is right. No way do you want to cook clams for 45 minutes unless you want little chunks of rubber in your sauce.
This was ok, a little bland and too thin.

Kindergarten registration is underway
Kindergarten registration is underway for Rutherford County Schools.
Registration for kindergarten began this month and runs through summer. However, orientation will be held in April 30 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
"We encourage parents to register children as soon as possible so they will be ready to attend orientation on April 30," said Steven Helton, director of elementary education. "Registering early gives parents more time to review registration information, ask questions, and schedule screening appointments."
Registration is held at all elementary school during regular school hours. To register, you must have your child's birth certificate, social security card and immunization records. State law required that children be five years of age on or before Aug. 31, 2013 to enroll.
Don Ingle, principal of Harris Elementary School, says that the school averages between 80 - 100 kindergartners per year.
"We have had just a handful of students register so far. The important thing that we stress is that we would like them enrolled early so we can prepare for our budget," Ingle said. "We have been encouraging parents that have students here already to spread the word to their neighbors and anyone they know who might have a student starting kindergarten."
Marsha Jolley, kindergarten teacher at Harris, says that parents should start working with their child on basic information before they enter the classroom.
"If they can count at least to 10 or above, know some or all letters, upper and lowercase, their colors and shapes that would be helpful," Jolley said. "If they could just do those little things, they would be off to a good start already."
Upon registering their child, parents will be given a handbook which includes tips for getting them prepared for school.
"The handbook includes tips for enhancing school readiness as they work with children at home for the remainder of this school year and over the summer," Helton said.
Some students are already prepared for next year thanks to the school's North Carolina Pre-K program.
"They are excited for kindergarten because of this program. Kindergarten expands on what they get here," said Briana Reid, whose son Braden is in Pre-K at Harris. "My first son who went through the program was completely prepared for kindergarten. There were no tears on that first year of school."
For more information about kindergarten registration, contact the elementary school in your school attendance district or cal Rutherford County Schools at (828)-288-2331. Kindergarten orientation will be April 20 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Crumble (Lay Me Down, Justin Timberlake) When was the last time you saw a play in which one of the leading characters (or supporting characters, even) was a building? Terry Meddows' wondrous portrayal of a once-elegant mansion instills a buoyant sense of Chekhovian storytelling to a tale that is otherwise odd and oblique, yet constantly compelling. For inside Meddows' crumbling building live a mother and daughter whose lives are also falling apart. Kirsten Wylder nails the aching confusion of a mother who helplessly watches her eleven-year-old daughter (the riveting Chelsea Serocke) self-destruct. In 70 painful yet absorbing minutes, Sheila Callaghan's script deals with themes of family loss and celebrity obsession. Justin Ivan Brown is on hand as fantasy figures Justin Timberlake (for the daughter) and Harrison Ford (for Mom). And when Colleen Backer, who plays Mom's eccentric sister, reels off the names of her 57 cats, it's about as eerie a moment as you're likely to see this holiday season — which is just what we've come to expect from Echo Theatre, a company that delights in shaking us up. Through December 19 in Theatre 134 at the ArtSpace at Crestwood Court (formerly Crestwood Plaza), Watson and Sappington roads, Crestwood. Tickets are $20 ($15 for seniors; rush seats for students are two for $20, fifteen minutes before curtain). Call 314-225-4329 or visit www.echotheatrecompany.org. — Dennis Brown
Last of the Red Hot Mamas The notably uneventful rags-to-riches journey of brassy entertainer Sophie Tucker is told through songs piled upon songs that recall the early-twentieth-century eras of ragtime, vaudeville and jazz. Three actresses portray Tucker at various stages in her life: Christy Simmons is our anchor and narrator; Phoebe Raileanu handles the early years; Johanna Elkana-Hale tackles Tucker as she's hitting her stride. The show has a relentless desire to be loved, and the thin plot is sometimes maudlin. But an onslaught of proven songs like "Let Me Call You Sweetheart," "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," "There'll Be Some Changes Made," "Shine on Harvest Moon," "Hard Hearted Hannah" and "Darktown Strutters Ball" — all slickly staged by director-choreographer Tony Parise — provide tuneful nostalgia for an era when melodies could still be hummed and lyrics rolled off the tongue as smoothly as glass marbles. Produced by New Jewish Theatre through December 26 at the Wool Studio Theatre at the Jewish Community Center, 2 Millstone Campus, Creve Coeur. Tickets are $36 to $40 ($2 discount for seniors and JCC members). Call 314-442-3283 or visit www.newjewishtheatre.org. (DB)
Over the Tavern You can always rely on a humorless nun to elicit a few laughs. When Darrie Lawrence's ruler-wielding Sister Clarissa is onstage, Tom Dudzick's rose-colored reverie about life in a dysfunctional 1950s bartending Buffalo family is wryly engaging. Lawrence is a consummate actress who personifies a theater credo the playwright never learned: Less is more. Dudzick never met a joke he didn't like, and they're all crammed into these two acts. In between gags, Celeste Ciulla delivers a standout portrayal as the bewildered, exhausted yet valiant mother. Just as this mother holds her crumbling family together, so does this actress hold the production together. Ciulla's understated contribution to the evening's palatability is heroic. The provocative set design by Paul Shortt provides a view of rooftop TV antennas competing for space with crosses on a nearby church steeple — which is a more nuanced concept than anything posited by Dudzick's verbose script. Performed by the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis through December 26 at the Loretto-Hilton Center, 130 Edgar Road, Webster Groves. Tickets are $15 to $70. Call 314-968-4925 or visit www.repstl.org.

Reckless Craig Lucas' black comedy about innocence, evil and the long arm of coincidence gets off to a terrific start when on Christmas Eve a remorseful husband announces to his loving wife that he's hired a hit man to rub her out. But as the satiric evening proceeds, you might sense that the script has undergone numerous revisions, and indeed it has. Constant scene changes would have us believe that Lucas really wanted Reckless to be a movie (which it was). Director Robert A. Mitchell can't meet the show's technical demands, so instead he plays into the sheer fun of staging something beyond your means. He is lucky to have Michelle Hand in the lead role. As the ultimate innocent, whose life becomes an odyssey of misadventures, Hand captivates us from beginning to end. Even when the play's charms begin to wane, hers do not. Performed by the NonProphet Theater Company through December 12 at the Regional Arts Commission, 6128 Delmar Boulevard. Tickets are $15 ($12 for students and seniors).

Low seismicity, no fumarolic activity, and no crater changes
Seismic activity was monitored on 22-24 April using one station located at 4,480 m elevation on the S flank. The station consisted of a 1-Hz vertical component seismometer, operating at 78 dB amplification with a band-pass filter between 0.3 and 30.0 Hz. The station registered five B-type events within a 5.5 hour time period on 23 April, and three events within 15 minutes of each other on 24 April. Coda duration was 10-18 seconds long; frequencies were in the 3-6 Hz range. Maximum peak-to-peak amplitudes measured 1-3 mm.
Observers who ascended to the summit found no fumarolic activity. Crater morphology was unchanged since visits in October 1992 and 1989. Water discharge from the "La virgen" spring at 4,400 m elevation had decreased to 0.5 liters/hour from 10 liters/hour in 1992.

Seismic monitoring finds little activity
During four days of seismic monitoring at Pico de Orizaba (10-13 October), only a single A-type event was recorded by an analog seismic station at 4,680 m above sea level on the S flank. The M 2.7 shock, on 12 October at 0124, had an S-P of 1.5 seconds, consistent with a depth of 8 km. The station, a 1-component (Z) 1-second seismometer, was operated at 72 dB amplification at 0.3-30 Hz. No fumarolic activity was observed and crater morphology has remained unchanged since the team's initial observation in 1989. Geologists plan a continued monitoring program.

|These large hills on the outskirts of the city of Huatusco, 35 km from Orizaba, are part of the massive Jamapa debris-avalanche deposit, which covers an area of several hundred sq km. The avalanche was produced during the late Pleistocene by collapse of the northern side of Torrecillas volcano, a predecessor to Orizaba volcano, and created a 3.5-km-wide horseshoe-shaped caldera. The rapidly moving avalanche was able to ride up over a ridge into drainages that do not originate from Orizaba.

|Pico de Orizaba (Volcán Citlaltépetl), México's highest peak and North America's highest volcano, rises 4500 m above the Gulf of Mexico coastal plain. Its 5675-m-high summit contains a 500-m-wide, oval-shaped crater that is 300 m deep. It is seen here from the NNE with the Jamapa glacier at the right above the NW-flank peak of Sarcofago (right center). The present summit cone was constructed during the Holocene, overtopping previously collapsed edifices. The last eruption occurred during the 19th century.

|Pico de Orizaba, also known as Citlaltépetl ("Mountain of the Star"), is México's highest volcano and North America's third highest peak. It is seen here from the south. The snow-free peak at the left is Sierra Negra, a 4580-m-high Pleistocene volcano that was active simultaneously with Orizaba. These volcanoes mark the southernmost extent of the Cofre de Perote-Pico de Orizaba volcanic chain.
Photo by José Macías, 1996 (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México).
|The evening sun reflects off the glacier-capped western flanks of Pico de Orizaba volcano. The knob on the left skyline is the NW-flank peak of Sarcofago. The NW-dipping lavas of Sarcofago, part of the second-generation Espolón de Oro edifice, were truncated by edifice collapse, forming a horseshoe-shaped caldera, inside which the modern cone was constructed.

|The N-S-trending Cofre de Perote-Pico de Orizaba volcanic chain is perpendicular to the trend of the Mexican Volcanic Belt. This view southward from the summit of Cofre de Perote towards glacier-capped Pico de Orizaba in the background shows two lesser known volcanic complexes in between. The La Gloria volcanic field, also known as the Desconocido-Tecomales volcanic field, forms the dissected area in the center of the photo, and Las Cumbres volcano is the broad range that extends from in front of Orizaba to the right-center horizon.

|Pico de Orizaba (Citlaltépetl) volcano towers above ridges of Cretaceous limestone on its ENE flank. The glacier-clad volcano was constructed during three stages, and has undergone edifice collapse on several occasions. Collapse of the initial Torrecillas volcano during the Pleistocene produced the massive Jamapa debris avalanche. It traveled down the Jamapa river and overtopped gaps in limestone foothills to reach the current area of the city of Huatusco, beyond the location of this photo.

|Pico de Orizaba (Citlaltépetl) volcano rises above the escarpment at the eastern margin of the Mexican Altiplano. It is seen here from the SE, along the road between Puebla and Orizaba. Like other volcanoes of the Pico de Orizaba-Cofre de Perote chain, deposits of Orizaba are asymmetrically distributed around the summit vent, and extend farther to the east, in the direction of the lower-altitude coastal plain. The slopes of Sierra Negra volcano rise along the left-hand skyline above a saddle SW of Orizaba.

|A massive columnar jointed lava flow is exposed in a valley wall NE of Orizaba volcano. The roughly 530,000-year-old Calcahualco lava flow was erupted during the Torrecillas stage of the growth of Orizaba, the first of three major volcanic edifices forming the volcano. The source of this flow is now buried, but the flow may have originated from a flank vent.

|Like other volcanoes in the Cofre de Perote-Pico de Orizaba chain, Orizaba was constructed on the edge of the Altiplano and consequently has higher relief on the eastern side facing the Atlantic coastal plain. Glacier-capped Orizaba (Citlaltépetl) here towers 4200 m above fields near the town of Coscomatepec on its eastern flank. The valley to the left was affected by the voluminous clay-rich Tetelzingo debris avalanche and lahar during the late Pleistocene.

|Sunrise alpenglow brilliantly colors the eastern slopes of Pico de Orizaba volcano above the town of Calcahualco. The volcano is named for the city of Orizaba below its SE flank, but is also known by the Aztec name of Citlaltépetl (Star Mountain). The volcano has a rich cultural history. Its lower slopes host Aztec villages, pyramids, and temples. Its image adorns Aztec hieroglyphics and colonial and modern paintings, woodcuts, and lithographs.
Photo by Lee Siebert, 1998 (Smithsonian Institution).
|Ice-capped Pico de Orizaba volcano is seen here from the south, with snow-free Sierra Negra volcano to its left. Sierra Negra is the southernmost major vent of the roughly NNE-SSW-trending Pico de Orizaba-Cofre de Perote volcanic chain. The construction of Sierra Negra was contemporaneous with the mid-Pleistocene early stages in the formation of Orizaba volcano. Sierra Negra is composed of andesitic and basaltic-andesite lava flows and produced numerous pyroclastic flows distributed mainly SW and west of the volcano.

|México's highest volcano, Pico de Orizaba, is seen here in an aerial view from the SE. The modern Citlaltépetl cone, marking the upper part of the volcano, was constructed within horseshoe-shaped calderas formed by the collapse of previous edifices. The orange-brown ridges at the middle left and and center are remnants of the oldest edifice, Torrecillas. The lighter-colored area between these two ridges is a thick, blocky historical dacitic lava flow erupted from the modern Citlaltépetl cone.

|Glacier-clad Pico de Orizaba (Citlaltépetl) rises 50 km to the SW above rolling terain south of the town of Xico, on the lower slopes of Cofre de Perote volcano. European discovery of Orizaba took place in 1518, when the explorer Anton de Alaminos sailed along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, and the following year, when Hernando Cortez passed over the Cofre de Perote-Pico de Orizaba range along the "Route of Cortez" between Veracruz and Mexico City.
Photo by Lee Siebert, 2000 (Smithsonian Institution).
|A blocky dacitic lava flow descended the SW flank of Pico de Orizaba (Citlaltépetl) in historical time. This lava flow is about 110 m thick and up to 1.3 km wide at its terminus, 5.5 km from the summit crater. The lava flow is a composite of at least 8 individual flow lobes. A portion of the flow that was diverted by topography to the west can be seen at the middle left flank. The small peak on the lower SW flank to the left of the lava flow is Cerro Colorado, a <90,000-year-old dacitic lava dome that produced pyroclastic flows to the west.

|The steep-walled summit crater of Pico de Orizaba (Volcán Citlaltépetl) is 400 x 500 m wide. The crater floor lies 300 m below the 5675-m-high summit on the NW side of the crater rim. Climbers' tracks can be seen on the Jamapa Glacier at the lower right, the standard climbing route on Mexico's highest volcano. The first climb of the volcano may have been by followers of the Toltec Indian leader Quetzalcoatl, who were said to bury him at the summit in about 1175 AD. Humboldt noted in 1804 that Mexicans obtained sulfur from the volcano.

|Pico de Orizaba (Volcán Citlaltépetl) was constructed on the edge of the Altiplano and has substantially higher relief on its eastern (right) side. Debris avalanches and lahars produced by edifice collapse have swept down the eastern flanks of the volcano onto the coastal plain. A prominent blocky dacitic lava flow with lateral levees is visible on the lower SW flank below the summit icecap. The eroded peak at the lower left beyond the lava flow terminus is 4580-m-high Sierra Negra, the southernmost peak of the Cofre de Perote-Orizaba volcanic chain.

|The 70-km-long NNE-SSW-trending Cofre de Perote-Pico de Orizaba chain is the easternmost of three volcanic chains perpendicular to the trend of the Mexican Volcanic Belt (MVB). The andesitic-dacitic Cofre de Perote shield volcano and snow-capped Pico de Orizaba (Citlaltépetl) anchor the northern and southern ends of the chain, respectively. As with other transverse chains in the MVB, volcanism has migrated to the south, but here young satellitic cones of Pleistocene-to-Holocene age are scattered throughout the chain.
