Religious leaders give witness to the outreach of Greenwich Bible Study
Published 7:02 pm, Wednesday, May 15, 2013
For a wider grasp of the impact of Debbie Reynolds' Greenwich Bible Study across town, Greenwich Citizen spoke with representatives of various religious establishments, starting with The Rev. Dr. Jim Lemler of Christ Church Greenwich where Reynolds was a member and started her first Greenwich Bible Study Group.
"Any given week we have eight bible study groups going on our premises," said Lemler. He traces their emergence to "the seeds sowed" by Debbie Reynolds and her Christ Church parishioners, along with her friend Betty Chickering from Stanwich Congregational Church.
More InformationFact box
"Debbie's contribution is of deep commitment and real zest around where she saw the power of scripture and understanding," said Lemler.
"On Friday mornings we have a men's prayer group, "Men on Fire, " with speakers where women are invited."
Lemler also cited the growth of interfaith Bible study with the neighboring Temple Sholom synagogue. "We engage with them in the study of scripture."
Rabbi Mitchell Hurvitz of Temple Sholom explained, "Rev. Lemler and I co-founded our Sholom Center for Interfaith Learning and Fellowship to help facilitate and coordinate the programmatic growth in interfaith study."
Hurvitz was aware of the Greenwich Bible Study groups. "I have heard only good reports," he said, "that they are spiritually nourishing and open to all."
At the temple, he said, "We have a weekly study group on Tuesdays at noon, "Lunch and Learn," which I started 19 years ago with three students and that now regularly draws 35 people. Most of our groups study the Torah -- the first five books of the Bible. We don't study the Bible without rabbinical commentary. On Saturday, we have an hour of Torah study before the service starts at 9."
At Stanwich Congregational Church, where Debbie is now a member, there are more than a dozen Bible study groups, says Associate Pastor Joan Osgood, "We have one probably every day of the week." Osgood's time at Stanwich stretches back 24 years to the early years of Greenwich Bible Study.
Since those earlier days, Osgood says, "Bible study groups have increased here a great deal. Most of the daytime groups are women, "but we have several men's groups,"she says. "People meet for breakfast before they get on the train. One man holds one in his office in NYC.
"These Bible study groups widen or broaden our awareness of God's working in our lives and how He has been working in our lives for thousands of years, " the pastor says.
From the first, she says, Greenwich Bible Study had "an ecumenical appeal." "It seems to draw people in from many different communities in Greenwich," she says. "Its first speakers were clergy people (including our Rev. Neely Towe), but as the groups increased, there were lay people with the gift of teaching. Debbie herself has been an inspired and efficient Bible study teacher."
"Debbie has the enthusiasm for Bible study. She had the contacts. She wanted others to share what she was excited about. She's a very charismatic person."
Osgood says, "Greenwich Bible Study became so popular that it spread out to other churches. Women would go back to their churches and say `Why don't we have these Bible study groups?' Catholic mothers were coming to Debbie's Bible study group. The younger ones wanted to start a Bible study group out of the Catholic church. Neely Towe and Debbie helped them get started with their inspiration."
Julie Ricciardi of Cos Cob is one of those whose Catholic mother goes to Debbie's Bible study group. "Everyone knew Debbie in my house," she says.
"I was going to Debbie's Greenwich Bible Study luncheons," she says. "That connected me to Debbie and the women she gathered around her. It was very nurturing. I was being fed spiritually."
But not having a Bible study group to attend at her church -- St. Mary -- she says, "started to weigh on my heart." "Debbie encouraged me to start a Catholic Bible study group." Why the Catholic Church has not traditionally offered Bible study, Ricciardi could not answer. She believed, "We haven't had a female Catholic voice."
Ricciardi soon got a green light from her church to take her "discontent and do something good with it." She was introduced to a writer of Catholic Bible studies and formed a group, which she called, "Walking With Purpose."
"I really took what GBS (Greenwich Bible Study) has done," she says. "Our mission is to enable women to know Christ through scripture. We set the table that the Holy Spirit comes to. We offer good books, good speakers."
"We have one group on Tuesday mornings and another on Thursday nights at St. Mary throughout the school year -- with 155 women." Members of her groups come from as far as Croton-on-Hudson in Westchester County. "Nationally there are now 40 "Walking with Purpose" groups," she says, serving 2,500 women.
"This fall we will have our three-part inspirational speaker luncheon series in October," says Ricciardi, "It's something I took over from Debbie five years ago. It's ecumenical as well. It connects women with Christ."
"I had courage to do all this because of Debbie," she says. "Debbie has a gift of encouragement. She is really an instrument of God's grace."

Hi Ladies!!! I need some advice! I went to the Dr yesterday after a little bit of cramping and they did an ultrasound and found a little bit of funneling at my cervix. Does anyone know what that means, is is normal??? I was alone, my husband was at work and I kind of froze and didnt ask the Dr. all the questions i should have. I go back on Monday to check it again but i would love some advice if anyone else has experienced this. Thank you Ladies!!!
24 weeks with cervical funneling
Comments (5)
Oh, I can understand that. I tend to freeze up to when I hear news that scares me.
What funneling is, is your cervix is beginning to efface (soften) from the inside. That means it is shortening. There are different degrees of effacement, so be sure to ask them at your next appt. what percentage you are at, and have them measure the actual length of your cervix too. The less tissue that is there, the more at risk you are. You may also want to ask about what they reccomend you do to aid your body so that it doesn't get any worse. Bedrest (in my personal experience) worked amazing wonders on my body. The more pressure that you are placing on your cervical area, the more likely you are to see continued funneling. Ultimately, when there is nothing of your cervix left it will begin to dialte. You certainly DONT want to get to that point.
Congrats on being 24 wks though, that is a very good thing in case things get crazy : )
Can I ask you though, what KIND of cramping you felt????? What was is specifically that had you concerned??? And were you having any contractions that you know of?
Hope this helps love, hang in there!!!
Love & Blessings- Brittany
Wifey to awesome hubby Michael Mommy to Ava 30wkr #2 Due 5/28
2.9 is your cervical length measurement, which really is not too bad : ) its when you start getting closer to 2.0 or below that when they start to worry. So, its great that your provider is already suggesting to keep an eye on it. Thats the best thing they can do at this point to catch any significant changes that could lead to trouble. If its at all possible over the weekend, try and take it easy till your appt. on monday.
i have been feeling crampy myself this week... what have you been feeling down there? any contractions that you know of? any specifics that made you worry???? I'm raelly wondering!!!
Love & Blessings- Brittany
Wifey to awesome hubby Michael Mommy to Ava 30wkr #2 Due 5/28
Have you ever been diagnosed with an incompetent cervix? If not, on Monday, depending on your measurement, I would ask the doctor to place a cerclage for prevention sake. During my 22 week appointment my cl was measuring 2.7 centimeters with funneling. I wish I had asked my Dr. to place it then. However, the following week I measured at 1.2 cm and had the cerclage placed the next day. I am now 29 weeks and 3 days. I am also on bedrest.
Funneling is not good during pregnancy. It means that your cervix is opening internally which would allow for the baby to deliver. However, it can correct itself if you take care of your body. If you are able to, place yourself on bedrest. It does wonders. It is hard but it is well worth it. I would limit all activity, this includes physical activity with your husband. If you start to have any type of bleeding with the cramping, get to the ER immediately.
If all checks out okay on Monday, I would ask the Dr. to check the cl weekly for a while just to be sure that all is going well. Digital checks by the Dr. is good to make sure that you are not dilating.
Please keep us updated. I will definitely keep you in my prayers.
Bed rest bed rest bed rest. It is awful! But it works. I have a cervix measuing 1.9 and is funneling as well - 25 weeks.
I went through this with my first child and bed rest allowed me to hang on to her to 36 weeks on the dot. My water broke at the dr office for a route visit!
i think it is important to say... bed rest means lying completely down. No recliners - no sitting. You have to just lie there. On your side is best. It works and that is all that maters. It is so important to hang on to that baby! Even at 36 weeks my daughter had complications and was on a respirator and spent 10+ days in the NICU.
Funneling means it is opening up inside your cervix. So you have the length of it and then imagine the side of it starting to disenegrate.kinda looks like this |)| ) being the funnel and the | being the walls. They measure the length of those bars to give you cervical length. the space between the | and the ) is the funneling part.
2.9 is a great length. It's still not best, but I dont think I ever started with that much on either of these pregnancies. Hang in there and please but yourself on solid bed rest.

You do realize that those stone plates do not cool down very fast. So where will they park all of them? How do you know if one is hot or not? Yesterday in the Daytona beach radio was doing an ad for Pie Five. Nothing special, but getting the word out and explaining how fast you can get your custom pizza. I sold in the teens, but still have my eye on this one. The concept is good, but the novelty wears off quick. The store size is all wrong, to large, they needed to have this as a plain Jane, get a pizza like you do a subway. Volume was what they should have gone after, instead of making franchise spend $450K per store.
They could have pop these out in same size stores as a Subway and cornered the market. Just my two cents. Glad I made money here. Hope to repeat it, if I see something positive. 85 stores and they still losing money. Good grief. Shows you there is something wrong with the business plan.
Maybe a one price for drinks for the entire family. If you have four, spending $40 for pizza is steep. Wake up management.
He did think this was a bargain at $18.80 a share. Bragging he bought another 50K shares/40.
This beats the info one clown was giving us, remove the dots and then you find it was just old news. Great work here from a few class acts. Thanks a lot.

Occupy Wall Street: A Rain Drenched Protest Calls to 'Take Off Your Clothes' To End Corporate Greed
/ Sep 20, 2011 5:50PM EDT
I am here because I am scared for my country one sign read in the midst of the Occupy Wall Street protest in Zuccotti park, in New York city's Financial district. --------- tarps, tents and card board lines the park while groups of people talk, sing and tweet all the happenings of the protest. As rain beats down, spirits remain high in the park as the police presence keeps the event very peaceful. while moving through the crowd you can't help avoid the feeling that the authorities are treating the protestors fairly, however members of anonymous explain that there have been many attempts by the police to keep the protest quite. One member explains that this morning authorities exposed thousands of dollars of computer an sound equipment to the rain after pulling the tarps off of the area they were using as storage. This included cameras, laptops, and a PA system allegedly ruining the majority of the equipment. An un-named anonymous member expressed his frustration over the media coverage of the event saying they are giving us a media blackout more or less, after the first day i haven't seen any more local coverage, they have been here, but there are no stories on it, whether this is the truth or not the whole scene is very subdued, as the group has taken refuge in a park that does not get to much exposure from passerby's. However a group of about 10 protesters on the sidewalk have taken to singing and striping down to their undergarments as others give speeches to the people walking by.

I am having trouble connecting my Satellite L630 series laptop to my home wireless network. I have a Billion wireless router at home that is 3 1/2 years old, so I'm wondering if it's compatibility/security issues? The laptop can see the network, but when I enter my password, I get a dialog box telling me it cannot connect to the network (I have checked numerous times that my password has been entered correctly). I tried "Troubleshoot", but the only option was turning the router off and then on again (which I tried, to no avail!). My desktop computer at home connects to the wireless network there and the laptop connects without a problem to the wireless network at work. Any advice would be much appreciated!
please check this website
it will show compatible wireless router for windows 7. Maybe its compatibility issue - i assume you are the one who setup your wireless. If it does maybe you can try to disable MAC filtering on your wireless router. You might try disabling the security for the meantime and try connectiing and see if that works.
Does it connect with the Ethernet cable?
You can check out the router this way.
Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool
Which Satellite L630? What's the part number?
Thanks for the replies, pacman and Jerry. I tried connecting with a cable, but that didn't work either. It's a Satellite L630/037 running 64-bit Windows 7.
I went to the compatibility website, and Billion-brand routers don't even appear as an option there, so that's not looking good! I'm at work right now, but will try the connectivity evaluation tool when I get home. I spent two hours a few nights ago just changing security settings and trying everything I could think of, but nothing worked. I'm thinking I may have to get myself a new router.
Satellite L630/037 (PSK04A-037001)
I tried connecting with a cable, but that didn't work either.
Good news, Natalie. We've eliminated the wireless as the problem.
Do all your troubleshooting now with the cable connection and plug directly into the modem if possible.
Start with the built-in troubleshooter.
Using the Network troubleshooter in Windows 7
If that doesn't fix things, let us know what you learned. BTW, error messages are useless if paraphrased. Quote them exactly.
Thanks again, Jerry; I'll look into this tonight when I get home and let you know how it went.
Well, it's still no go as far as connecting in any way to my home internet goes - I used the ethernet cable and the direct connection to the modem wasn't even registered by the laptop. I right-clicked on the "LAN connection" icon in Network Connections and selected "Diagnose", but it didn't help; it recognised the problem as the ethernet cable being either "disconnected or broken". I tried unplugging the ethernet cable and plugging it in again, but at that point, it wouldn't even go back in the socket, and I didn't want to force it. It's basically a brand-new cable that came with the modem router when I bought it, but haven't needed to use until now. I'm in need of some more advice!
it recognised the problem as the ethernet cable being either "disconnected or broken".
I tried unplugging the ethernet cable and plugging it in again, but at that point, it wouldn't even go back in the socket, and I didn't want to force it.
That's one you need to solve. Is there some tech around there that can help? Maybe call the ISP that supplied the modem? Doesn't the router plug into the modem with the same network plug?
There's not much we can do about it from way over here.
Yes, I figured I was pretty much on my own with the cable thing! It's just weird because I was able to plug it in before, but now it just won't go. I'll see if anyone I know has a spare one I could use. However, I ran Diagnose while the cable was plugged in that first time, and that was when it told me that it was either disconnected or broken (when it wasn't either as far as I could tell), so it didn't seem to recognise it even when it was plugged in.
it didn't seem to recognise it even when it was plugged in.
Well, the saga continues! I have updated my modem/router's firmware to the latest version, and I still cannot connect my laptop to my home wireless network. I was hoping the firmware update would fix the issue, but have had no luck so far.
I have tried connecting via ethernet cable (which I got to plug in again after some difficulties), but diagnosing the problem with the connection once again told me that the network cable was either unplugged or broken. I called Toshiba tech support and they suggested there might be a problem with the modem/router, but I contacted the manufacturer of the latter and now they're suggesting it's a problem with the laptop! They also said that the modem/router I am using at home is compatible with Windows 7. I tried changing the security settings for the network, but that didn't make any difference.
The laptop still connects fine with the wifi network at work, so this is all very frustrating!
I'm afraid you need some hands-on help there, Natalie.
It would be useful to know what another Windows 7 computer sees when connecting to that modem/router (I'm assuming a single box). I'd be especially interested in the cable connection, but the wireless would be interesting too.
>> I'm afraid you need some hands-on help there, Natalie.
Yes, I'm thinking the same thing! The most frustrating thing is that the laptop sees that the network is there, but it just will not connect. Thanks for your help, Jerry.
Too bad we couldn't make more progress. Good luck!

GAA: Mark sees red but inspires win
Published 03/10/2007
Mark Downey earned a minor blot on his copybook when Drumgath clinched the Down Under 16 Football Championship title but you won't hear the slightest complaint being made against the talented youngster within this progressive Rathfriland club.
He may have been sent off with ten minutes to go before the end of the final against St Joseph's but by then Mark had already assured himself of the player of the match accolade in grabbing 2-4 of his team's 2-10 total.
All this, too, after St Joseph's had built up a seemingly unassailable 3-0 to 0-1 lead after just nine minutes.
Anthony Mageean, Aidan Killen and Sean O'Rourke were the St Joseph's goalscorers but their comfortable cushion was whipped away when Downey set to work.
His two goals spirited Drumgath back into the match and his four clinical points complemented scores from Colm Maginn (0-3), Eddie Fitzpatrick (0-2) and Eddie McConville (0-1) to give Drumgath a deserved victory.
Mark, brother of Down senior team full-forward Packie Downey, certainly proved the inspiration of this Drumgath success which has fuelled hopes that the club might now go on to claim more glory at Minor level further along the line.
St Joseph's, an amalgam of the Dundrum and Ballykinlar clubs in the Under 16 sector, were left shellshocked yet still managed to underline that they, too, have a host of players of whom more will be heard in the future.
But for now Drumgath are the Under 16 toast of Down - and Mark Downey is the epitome of a true local hero.

Additional Notes
Complaint: We had a coolant leak and left there $1700.00 with a major oil leak that they will not fix. We brought our 2003 Land Rover with 67,000 mi for a small coolant leak. We left there with a major oil leak and over a $1200.00 in repairs and the day we picked it up the check engine light was on and a puddle of oil underneath. ***** said we had a 90 day warranty and we brought back 3 times and each time we had to pay more money and still a major oil leak. He refuses to fix the leak and said thank you for your money.
Desired Settlement: I want all of my money back, since now I have to take it to a seperate mechanic before the motor is ruined. My driveway has turned into an oil puddle. I do have a copy of all reciepts in my possesion.
I will provide the dates and repairs that were worked on the 2003 Landrover
Where to start? My truck is currently being fixed at different certified auto mechanic not an auto parts changer. After my truck was transferred to the new shop, I got a phone call from the shop and asked if the motor had caught fire due to fresh fire retardent that was evident in the motor compartment (pictures taken). I said "No" not while in my care. They said there is new electrical tape on some burned wires with retardent in the tape. Also my reciepts show that the front 2 o2 sensors for $171.39 were replaced and now the response only shows one replaced for the that large amount. Also the new shop looked up the parts (o2 sensors) and I was told that the cost of $171.39 was extremly high and that the cost of the labor was built in to the cost and not a no charge as stated by the so called honest shop. This truck only came in with a coolant leak and never had an oil leak until they tore into the gaskets. The check engine lights continued to come on after Tracy Automotive tore into the gaskets and my wife was told to drive it and the lights would eventually go out. This is a typical mechanic taking an advantage of a woman. I have since come in contact with another customer of Tracy Automotive who has experinced the same problems. IF he was a certified professional mechanic and never had the correct scanner, how did he ever know what to replace?? It was only when I asked his mechanic (**) to write all the codes down for me which I took a photo of, so for ***** to say they didn't have the proper scanner, he is Wrong! The truck only came in with a coolant leak and left with a major oil leak. I never stated that there was a new oil leak, it just never stopped leaking oil after the gasket repairs. There was only a difference of 137 mi between the lldays that it wasnt at the shop. I am currently building a timeline of photos, receipts and the current mechanic who has fixed the problem that was created by Tracy Automotive, and will pursue this case in court if I need to. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS SHOP AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BBB TO INVESTIGATE THIS SHOP. BBB if you want copies of my receipts, photos and the new mechanic, feel free to contact me anytime.
Consumer Response: This response by Tracy Automotive absolutley doesn't address anything from my last response. In his first sentence now he is saying he replaced two sensors after already saying that he replaced one and charging me for two. The new mechanic even said it looks like only one has been replaced judging by the condition the O2 sensors are in for only 137 miles between taking it back to Tracy Automotive and to finally to my new mechanic. I have contacted Superior Auto(Superior was noted as were the parts came from in the previous reply by Tracy Automotive) Parts and have obtained a detailed report of all o2 sensors available for the Land Rover and none of the 25 they have available list for $140.95 each. They also said they never charge a list price, however they do show list prices, but always charge a discounted price, which I can forward to you if you would like(BBB)? I have instructed the new mechanic to keep a detailed log including pictures and parts that have been sent to BBB already showing missing bolts, fire retardent, electrical tape on wires around the area of repairs from Tracy Automotive which were never noted in any work orders on any one of the times we picked up the truck. He also stated(*****) that the check engine light was never on at the time of pickup, which in fact I have pictures showing it on at the time of pickup, which have been sent to BBB. The LIES have started from day 1 and continue. Everytime we brought it back in after the work to the gaskets was to fix the oil leak that was never there or never noted on any outbound workorder. And when we did is when we got charged for something else and still left with an oil leak. The oil leak that became present after the intake manifold gasket change was the only thing we wanted stopped. WE NEVER HAD AN OIL LEAK EVER!! IT was brought in for a coolant leak and never in any workorder does there state there was a oil leak that needs to be addressed, even after bringing it in countless times does any workorder say the leak has been fixed. I have never been put into this type of situation before, but I am completely confident in going forward and will not stop until I get my money back from Tracy Automotive. I belive in getting paid for a job well done or even done satisfactory. But I do not belive in getting ripped off or sit by and let this happen to someone else.
Consumer Response:
Better Business Bureau:
I would like to reject the offer of Arbitration for complaint ID *******.

The wand is incredibly large–probably the largest MAC wand to-date–and reminded me quite a bit of DiorShow, actually. It's large, kind of fluffy (but not actually fluffy), and it has a very tapered edge. I do like the tapered edge, because it does make it easier to reach the lashes on the inner corner of the lid as well as coat the bottom lashes. Even though the brush is on the larger side, I didn't find it unwieldy–there wasn't much of a learning curve. If you prefer smaller mascara wands, though, this will definitely be a mascara to check out in person first.
The formula itself is very lengthening while doing an excellent job at separating lashes and not clumping–except if you wait too long between coats. This is a drier mascara; there is no wet, glossy look, and it does dry down quickly, so you need to work fast in order to get the maximum effect with this mascara. I found it gave me some volume, but it wasn't over-the-top. I didn't encounter any smudging or flaking while test-driving this mascara for the past week either.
I liked the soft, feathery look Opulash gave my lashes along with some very nice length! I'm actually surprised I didn't see length pushed in the marketing write-up for Opulash, because I look at the before/after photos, and I see longer, slightly blacker lashes, but not necessarily a ton of volume. I found two or three quick coats was all you needed to get the feathery lash effect going. More than that resulted in a bit of clumping, but if you don't load up your lashes with the product, it's a nice, full and feathery lash that's clump-free.

Snook Alone, written by Marilyn Nelson and illustrated by Timothy Basil Ering. Candlewick, Random House. 2010. $20.00 ages 5 and up
"Sometimes they worked in the sugar cane. Snook prowled the forest of stalks, and rats squealed with terror at his approach. Sometimes Snook routed a sleeping hare and won a high-speed race with a delicious prize."
Abba Jacob and his terrier Snook share a peaceful co-existence on an island faraway. Abba Jacob fills his days with prayer and work. Snook keeps the rats and mice at bay and out of Abba Jacob's kitchen; but, he also spends much of his day being a shadow of protection to his beloved monk:
"After the last silence,
Abba Jacob blew out the candle, bowed,
and walked down the steps and crossed the lawn
to his house to go to bed.
Snook slept on the veranda
on a green cushion,
with one ear periscoping out of sleep
and every sleeping muscle poised."
Abba Jacob is asked to help catalog the plants and animals on nearby islands. Snook happily tags along. His job with the rats and mice is important for keeping the burgeoning population in check there, too. He takes to his task with perseverance and feverish delight. Snook is hard at work when a storm threatens and Abba Jacob cannot get his attention before they are forced to flee to safety.
Snook returns to shore to find his friend gone and soon must seek shelter for himself 'in a cave of pemphis roots'. As the days pass, Snook proves himself to be adept at finding what he needs for survival. The days are endless and he longs for his dear, dear friend:
"Snook woke up every morning before dawn.
He waited.
Then he foraged, moused, and drank.
Then he waited again.
The silence was black and empty."
His loneliness is palpable in the brilliantly written text, and in the astonishing multimedia artwork. Timothy Basil Ering uses ink and acrylics to create paintings that depict the warmth of the friendship, the fierceness of the storm, the terror of nighttime island visitors, the abject desolation of being alone, and the joy of reunion, while also creating expressive and powerful line drawings to add context and emotion.
Of her amazing book, Marilyn Nelson says:
'For me, this book is about silence and what we can learn from it. Snook has lived his whole life according to the rhythm of the life of Abba Jacob, and Abba Jacob's life is work and prayer. So Snook falls into his own rhythm of work and prayer. It's not prayer in his mind—you know, he's a dog. But it's work and silence; it's work and longing—and longing is another word for prayer.
The turning point is when Snook finds in himself compassion—not self-pity, not just longing for his master—but compassion for other living creatures. And that's what happens in the incident with the sea turtle. Snook achieves a kind of spiritual mastery. And then when he's reunited with Abba Jacob, he's a dog with a difference. He's a dog who has learned something about what silence can teach all of us."
To show they are happy to be eventually reunited, I will leave to the author:
"Then he jumped and raced in a yapping circle
of pee-dribbling delight.
As the boat skimmed sand
and the man at the tiller cut the motor,
Abba Jacob splashed out.
He ran to meet the barking somersault
that leaped into his arms."
No one could say that better!

New London — Perhaps for the first time during his distinguished basketball career, Kris Dunn looked a bit overwhelmed standing on the Conway Gymnasium court.
Dunn listened as Craig Parker, his New London High School coach, reeled off the former Whaler standout's impressive resume during a ceremony before Thursday's game against Hamden.
He added to his long list of accomplishments on Thursday by becoming the first Whaler to have his number retired. He received two framed No. 3 jerseys — one to take home and the other to be displayed at the high school - and then posed for pictures with his family, including father John Seldon, stepmother Audra and four siblings. He picked the gold jersey one to keep.
"A lot of great players come out of here," Dunn said. "For me to be chosen is definitely an honor.
"... It's crazy that no one else will be able to wear number three. It's a special moment but hopefully the next best thing that comes to New London, hopefully he can get his number retired and just beat all my records."
It will likely be awhile before that happens.
Dunn graduated in 2012 as the program's all-time leading scorer with 2,201 points. He became just the fourth McDonald's All-American from Connecticut and earned a scholarship to Providence College. He's sitting out his sophomore season while recovering from a second shoulder surgery in December.
During his remarks, Parker talked about Dunn's "rock star status" in the community.
"I think Kris was actually moved by the ceremony," Parker said. "He was a deserving recipient to have his number retired. It was a real positive ceremony.
"We had some great moments together. You bring back one of the all-time greats, if not the all-time great, it's a very moving thing for us."
Dunn has remained humble during his rise. He gladly signed autographs, warmly greeted friends and smiled for cell phone pictures.
It was his way of saying thanks to his extended Whaler family.
"The community also showed their love no matter what," Dunn said.
"This is where everything started. I appreciated everyone that came out and supported me and my family."
Tom Poblete, a former New London basketball player now teaching at the high school, had Dunn in two classes.
"Kris epitomizes what we want student-athletes at New London High School to be — a student first who did well in school and a great athlete that respects the game and is a great kid off the court," Poblete said.
Dunn stayed for part of New London's basketball game before departing. He's unsure where he will hang his framed jersey.
His decision to wear No. 3 can be traced back to his days playing New London recreation basketball at the age of 11. He wanted No. 7 but his coach, Noah James, made a different choice for him.
But something happened to convince Dunn to keep his new number.
"I was practicing with it and everything just happened to fall into place," Dunn said. "I was making shots. I was thinking if I took this off, I wouldn't be able to make any more shots so I just stuck with number three."
Dunn continues to wear that number at Providence.

From a single part to the body-in-white structure
Ever since cars have existed, we have been developing, producing, and supplying metal parts—and, for the vehicles of today, hybrid structures—for the automotive industry. From a manufacturer of individual parts, we have grown into an internationally recognised development supplier of components and body-in-white structures.
KIRCHHOFF Automotive provides vehicles worldwide with extra stability and safety.
But we also offer our customers much more than that: we make a considerable contribution to the growth of their competitiveness.
The crucial cost and logistics advantages of our streamlined, medium-sized company structure and international presence serve a single purpose: to drive the market success of our customers and thereby safeguard our innovative strength and earning power. This is our pledge worldwide.
Shop-in-Shop model successfully implemented
Hot formed parts are growingly enquired due to their special characteristics. The existing laser cutting systems did not offer any additional capacities for the higher demand within various launches. That is why one had to answer this question in the beginning of the project: "Do we extend our systems or do we buy services?">>

Church gathers gifts for children in need
Since Oct. 1, members of the United Methodist Church have collected gifts for children in shoeboxes and plastic containers.
On Nov. 13, volunteers loaded 72 boxes and took them to the United Methodist Church in Lexington. From there, they will be sent to kids all over the world as part of Operation Christmas Child."We tend to forget during the holidays that there are other children out there," said Becky Boson, who spearheaded the effort along with Alice Peters and Sheila Jobman. "If not for this, they probably wouldn't have a Christmas gift to open."
In the boxes, Boson said Methodists, people from other churches and some community members placed crayons, coloring pencils, toys, toothpaste, dolls, socks and more.
Each container included a pamphlet about what was needed.
Boson said the church has done the project for several years.
"It's a good feeling to know that you are part of making a child's Christmas nice," she said.

Ready-to-drink (RTD) teas and coffees are growing in both the retail and convenience store spaces. Tea brands have an opportunity to incorporate botanical ingredients to offer consumers an exotic flavor experience while boosting nutrition. And coffee brands have an opportunity with cold-brew, as it may very well be the craft beer of coffee. What's really brewing, however, are new flavor fusions. But the question remains, are consumers willing to venture out and try new flavor combinations, or are RTD teas and coffees limited to the basics like chocolate coffee and herbal tea?

Flavors are finding partners, but not on a romantic match-making website. Food and beverage product developers are combining them in spicy, sweet and zesty ways. Sea salt is being paired with more than just caramel. Coconut water is providing multiple benefits in juice blends. Pumpkin, citrus and cinnamon are other potential partners in flavor formulations.

Community marks somber anniversaryUPDATED 7:04 AM CST Dec 05, 2013
Thursday marks one year since the bodies of Elizabeth Collins and Lyric Cook Morrissey were found in a Bremer County park, about 20 miles from where they were abducted.Video Transcript
THEY WILL ALWAYS BE ON OUR MINDS. One year later... the Evansdale community is still in mourning... Tomorrow marks one year since the bodies of Elizabeth Collins and Lyric Cook Morrissey were found in a Bremer County park -- about 20 miles from where they were abducted. KCCI's Laura Nichols went back to Evansdale today to see how the community is coping with so few answers in the case. THERE IS STILL A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT IT. THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF PEOPLE VERY UPSET THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN ANYBODY CAUGHT YET. One year after the bodies of Elizabeth Collins and Lyric Cook Morissey were found in a nearby county park...still no arrests...and no idea who could have committed this horrific crime. WE STILL FEEL THAT THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE. HOW SAFE IS OUR COMMUNITY. IF THEY'RE SICK ENOUGH TO DO IT ONCE THEY'LL PROBABLY DO IT AGAIN. Authoroities continue to look into all angles -- including Michael Klunder, the man who abducted and killed Dayton teenager Kathlynn Shepard, before killing himself. And if it's possibly drug related ...Lyric's mother and father are bothing facing drug charges and prison time. ANYTIME A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC CAN PROVIDE US INFORMATION WE'RE FOLLOWING UP ON THAT AND IT COULD BE THE BREAK IN THIS INVESTIGATION. Despite the year of unanswered questions and uneasiness...the community has managed to perserverence. IT REALLY BOUGHT NOT ONLY JUST EVANSDALE, BUT THE WHOLE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. IT BROUGHT EVERYBODY TOGETHER. Pinks ribbons, and decorated trees still cover the town ...and the abduction site now has a more fitting name...Angel's Park . THEY TOUCHED LIVES, MANY LIVES. PEOPLE..IT DREW PEOPLE CLOSER. IT BONDED PEOPLE TOGETHER. ALL IN ALL WE ARE GOING TO MISS THEM AND THEY WILL ALWAYS BE ON OUR MINDS. Tomorrow night on the actual anniversary several trees will be lit up around town in honor of Lyric and Elizabeth ... And a check will be presented to Crime Stoppers and other charities in honor of them. The money was raised by fundraisers organized by friends

When the Queen celebrated her Silver Jubilee in 1977, the Sex Pistols marked it in their own way.
Their anarchic anthem God Save The Queen reached number two in the charts and they had their very own river procession.
On June 7, two days before the Queen's own river trip, the Sex Pistols' record label Virgin and manager Malcolm McLaren chartered a boat, intending for the band to play as they cruised down the Thames past the Houses of Parliament.
In the event, police launches forced the boat to dock and some members of the Pistols' entourage - including McLaren - were arrested.
With the main Diamond Jubilee celebrations to be held this weekend, check out our archive pictures if you have had too much of the royal fever.
