NORTH LIBERTY– Ever wonder how a story gets into a newspaper? Why did an editor choose one story over the other? What makes a story newsworthy? How can I get a notice about an upcoming event for my community-based group into the newspaper?
How important is the local newspaper to my community and, most important, me?
TIFFIN– An open house will be held Saturday, Aug. 29, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the new Clear Creek Amana STEM Center, located at 311 W. Marengo Rd. in Tiffin. A presentation will take place in the gymnasium with tours of the STEM Center and lunch following.
The Vocational Training Council of The Greater Iowa City Area Home Builders Association, in partnership with Kirkwood Community College, assisted students and volunteers in the design and build of a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) classroom located at CCA Middle School in Tiffin.
North Liberty Leader
TIFFIN– History was made last year by the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) varsity volleyball team as they appeared in the state tournament for the first time since 1999 and only the third time in school history. The Clippers, under first-year head coach Jackie Clubb, knocked off Cedar Rapids Xavier, 3-0, in a Class 4A Regional Final to earn their state tourney berth. CCA went on to take down Sioux City Bishop Heelan, 3-2, in the state 4A quarterfinals before falling, 3-0, to Harlan in the semifinal round.
North Liberty Leader
IOWA CITY– Last year, West High's Women of Troy made it to the state tournament in Cedar Rapids under first-year coach Randy Dolson. The team posted a 28-12 record overall after falling, 3-1, to Bettendorf in the quarterfinal round. The team lost three seniors– Madi Miller, Mikaela Morgan and Laynie Whitehead– but Dolson is confident the 2015 squad will be a force to contend with.
Six juniors– Emma Norris, Ali Tauchen, Emily Halverson, Maddie Fay, Madi Ford and Gabi Delsing– make up the core of the starting line-up.
North Liberty Leader
IOWA CITY– The West High Trojans under coach Brian Martz are rebuilding and reloading for the 2015 cross-country season. The Trojans finished ninth in overall points at last year's state meet.
Akash Borde was the highest-finishing West runner at the state meet with a ninth-place finish. Borde was among the runners lost to graduation, but Martz returns seniors Nick Feeley (44th at State) and Matthew Schneider (70th) and junior Ali Ali (57th).
North Liberty Leader
RIVERSIDE— The West High Trojans finished seventh overall in their Boys Golf Invitational on Monday, Aug. 17, at the Blue Top Ridge Golf Course in Riverside.
West Des Moines Valley won the invitational, with 314, followed by Ankeny Centennial, Dubuque Wahlert, Burlington, Johnston and Pleasant Valley. Muscatine, Dubuque Hempstead and Bettendorf rounded out the 10-team field.
Centennial's Chris Winkel and West's JD Goodfellow finished one and two respectively with 74 strokes each.
North Liberty Leader
TIFFIN– It's a mix of change and consistency for the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) cross-country teams this season. Ben Robison has taken the top spot in the boys' program after a year as an assistant and a year as the middle school coach.
Robison takes over a program fourth in the state qualifying meet last year and returns three seniors and three juniors: Jake Tener (senior), Eric Douglass (senior), Kage Hinricks (senior), Luke Wingert (junior), Ben Oxley (junior) and Wyatt Sedlacek (junior).
By Lori Lindner
North Liberty Leader
NORTH LIBERTY– North Liberty's civic campus is part of a plan nearly nine years in the making, and it won't likely come to fruition for at least a couple more years.
The City of North Liberty has long anticipated a comprehensive city campus, since RDG Planning and Design conducted a study in 2006 evaluating the city's existing facilities and space needs. That study concluded in 2007, with RDG presenting a long-range plan prioritizing recommended improvements including a centralized civic services center.
OXFORD– Voters in the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Community School District will have an easy time deciding whom to vote for in the school board of education election on Tuesday, Sept. 8. Four of CCA's five board candidates are incumbents, and all five are running unopposed on the official ballot.
The lack of challenges in the race could account for the lack of public attendance at the forum held Tuesday, Aug. 11, at Clear Creek Elementary in Oxford.
NORTH LIBERTY– Cody Chen is used to serving up hot, delicious Chinese take-out cuisine.
Now, he and a family member can also create a beautiful kitchen counter on which to serve it.
Cody, owner of Yang Chow Wok, and his cousin, Lam Chen, have established a second business in the North Liberty area, L&C Marble Granite Supply.
Lam learned the trade of cutting and installing beautiful stone– primarily marble and granite– in Hong Kong, where Lam's family has a long-established business in the industry.
TIFFIN– The City of Tiffin is still working on improving the Inflow & Infiltrations (I & I) issues within the sanitary sewer system in the Original part of Tiffin. Within the last year Tiffin residents may have received a letter regarding a meeting to discuss this topic, followed up by further contact from the city's engineers, Hart-Frederick Consultants, to get signatures for a temporary construction easement.
NORTH LIBERTY– The North Liberty Building Community group has invited the 13 candidates on the Sept. 8 ballot for the Iowa City Community School District to a meet-and-greet event in North Liberty.
The free, public event will be from at 10 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Aug. 29, in the lower-level Gerdin Conference Room 2 at the North Liberty Community Center, 520 W. Cherry St. The North Liberty Building Community Group is nonpartisan, will not make endorsements, and is hosting this opportunity only for residents to meet the candidates in person and to gather information about them in one place.

Canon Captures Number Two Position on U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Top 10 Rankings for 2005;
Canon Celebrates Its 14th Consecutive Year as One of the Top Three Patent-Receiving Organizations
SUCCESS, N.Y. — Jan. , 2006 — Underscoring its commitment to
pioneering information and imaging technologies and innovations that
revolutionize workstyles and lifestyles, Canon Inc. today announced
that it has captured the number two position on the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office's Top 10 Rankings for 2005.
In 2005, Canon received
1,828 patents(1), rising one position from its 2004 third-place
ranking. Canon has been one of the top three patent-receiving
organizations for the past 14 consecutive years, and number two for the
total number of patents received in the past 10 years. Canon spends
nearly eight percent of its yearly sales on research and development,
allowing the company to constantly be a leading innovator in many
consumer and business markets.
"Canon has a long heritage of imaging
excellence and innovation that has helped us earn the trust of
customers around the world," said Joe Adachi, president and chief
executive officer, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "With that heritage as our
foundation, Canon leads the market in bringing quality and original
digital imaging technology to a broad range of consumers, businesses
and industries."
Canon's heritage of innovation extends back to the
company's founding in the 1930′s. Canon released the first 35mm camera
in 1936 and the first Single-Lens Reflex (SLR) camera in 1959. In
addition, Canon's AE-1 (1976), which was the first SLR with a built-in
microprocessor, was the best selling 35mm SLR camera in history. Also,
in the mid-1970′s, Canon's innovative Bubble Jet printing technology
was born in the Canon Labs.
From the original laser-based copier to
the networking and digitalization of the workplace to today's shift to
color documents, Canon has set the standard for digital imaging in
departmental, workgroup environments and high-end production
applications. Canon entered the business machines industry in the
1960s, and went on to achieve world-class status for its technological
innovations. In 1968, Canon introduced a plain-paper copying machine.
Canon also further improved electrophotography technologies to create
the full-color copying machine family – the CLC Series – and the
award-winning imageRUNNER Series of networked digital MFPs, both
benchmarks for imaging innovation.
About Canon U.S.A., Inc.
U.S.A., Inc. delivers consumer, business-to-business, and industrial
imaging solutions. The Company is listed as one of Fortune's Most
Admired Companies in America and is rated #35 on the BusinessWeek list
of "Top 100 Brands." Its parent company Canon Inc. is a top patent
holder of technology, ranking second overall in the U.S. in 2005, with
global revenues of $33.3 billion.
(1) The patent counts are
preliminary and are subject to correction. The final listing should be
available from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in April 2006.

Fantasia was the only American Idol alumnus to win a Grammy Sunday. The show's third-season champ went one for two, winning Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for Bittersweet.
Fantasia received a Best R&B album nomination for Back to Me but lost to John Legend & the Roots' Wake Up! Bittersweet also lost to Legend's Shine in the Best R&B Song category.
Adam Lambert and Carrie Underwood also received nominations.
Country-pop trio Lady Antebellum were the big winners for the night, winning five awards, including song and record of the year for Need You Now. Alternative rock band Arcade Fire's The Suburbs won album of the year, while jazz musician Esperanza Spalding pulled the night's big upset in the best new artist category, beating out the likes of Justin Bieber and Drake.
Nashville-based Brian Mansfield began writing about music for USA TODAY in 1997 and took over Idol Chatter just before the start of Season 8. He co-authored Make Me a Star: Industry Insiders Reveal How to Make It in Music, and while he has never auditioned for American Idol, he did sing Boot Scootin' Boogie at Disney World's American Idol Experience the day the attraction opened (he lost).

text: bojan - Unregistered May 27, 2011 9:35 PM Another problem with F1 is that it is too preoccupied with the drivers rather than the cars. "Audi win Le Mans" is a better headline for a car manufacturer than "Vettel wins at Catalunya". Anyway, I am looking forward more to Le Mans than to the whole F1 season, and I don't think I'm alone. 4 agree 2 disagree

It s legacy goes back to the 1906 Antiquities Act, followed by the creation of NPS in 1916, followed by 1935 Historic Sites Act (HABS), and in 1949 the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the National Preservation Act of 1966 which established the Advisory Council, SHPO s, the National Register and Section 106. Before 1976 no incentives to rehab older buildings existed and actually tax deductions allowed for their demolition so.the Tax Reform Act of 1976 the first tax incentive to preserve historic buildings first a 60 month amortization of certified building rehab expenses, then in 1978 a 10 percent credit, then in 1981 a 25% credit for historic rehabs, 20% for non-historic 40 year old buildings and 15% for buildings 30 years old. Finally where we are today.the Tax Reform Act of 1986 which constrained credits to 20%, except in Hot Springs, and 10% for buildings pre 1936.
8 Governing Federal Regulations State Historic Preservation Office and National Park Service for rehab design approval IRS Tax Code, Sections 47 and 48 income producing properties Tax Reform Act of dollar for dollar 20% investment tax credit against federal income tax liability and a 10% tax credit for pre-1936 buildings
9 What is Tax Credit Equity Financing Applies to rehabilitation of privately and publicly owned income-producing certified historic properties The federal investment credit is 20 percent of eligible hard and soft costs of rehab (25% in Hot Springs) The Arkansas rehab credit is 25% of the federal eligible costs and a maximum per building of $125,000 Investors make an economic investment in the property equal to the credit amount generated by Rehab minus discount factors and investor s return requirements Property owner receives investor cash to use for the Rehab Investor claims tax credit on federal and State tax liability at Part 3
10 Historic Tax Credit Market at a Glance * Over past 35 years HRTC leveraged more than $109 billion in private investment on historic rehabs* Over 39,600 projects approved by National Park Service (NPS) * Data provided by the National Trust for Historic Preservation
11 Steps to a Tax Credit Rehabilitation: Qualify the building as contributing to a certified historic district or a National Register certified historic property Have rehab design approved by State and National Park Service Develop project budget, eligible expenditures Do ten year forecast of real estate operations

Here's the perfect desktop accessory to keep cold drinks at the ready. We've previously featured a mini TARDIS fridge (think the episode "Flatline" only with Dr. Pepper trapped inside), but this one comes complete with a blinking light and enough space to hold 18 canned drinks. It can also be switched over to keep foods warm. This is an officially licensed Doctor Who product with a carrying handle, removable shelf, and little rubber feet. It measures 19″ (21.5″ to top of light) by 10.5 by 11.25″.

Multiple ownership groups reportedly submit bids to purchase Bills
At least three ownership groups submitted bids on Monday to purchase the Buffalo Bills, according to an Associated Press report from John Wawrow.
The bids, which were sent to Morgan Stanley to oversee the private bidding process, came from at least three potential ownership parties, including Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula; a group led by real estate mogul Donald Trump; and a third group that included rock star Jon Bon Jovi.
Bon Jovi's group had been losing steam in recent weeks over concerns that it has limited bidding power due to the rockstar's finances and there's been some doubt as to whether the group he's involved with would in fact keep the franchise in Buffalo, according to the Toronto Sun.
Report: Bears center Robert Garza has high sprain
The Pegulas are reportedly the front runners. The couple is worth $3.5 billion, have close ties to the community and are said to have the full support of public officials and local business leaders because of their commitment to keep the team in Buffalo.
The other groups that are believed to be interested are not immediately known and it's not certain whether they actually formally filed with Morgan Stanley, according to the AP.
The sale is expected to exceed $1 billion, according to the report.

The Grower's Nation project started back in April 2012 as part of the International Space Apps Challenge. The idea is to get more people growing fruit and vegetables by making decisions about planting easier. The app will work by using location, climate and horticultural data to provide people with information about growing possibilities on unused land. There will be a simple web and mobile based interface to make all the open source data much more user friendly.
At Space Apps, the Grower's Nation team worked closely with our sister project the Pineapple Project. The collaboration consisted of teams and individuals from Exeter (UK), San Francisco, New York City, Chile, Nairobi and the Dominican Republic and is reported to be the largest international collaboration at a hackathon ever. At the end of the weekend, lots of data had been crunched, a user interface had been created and our team went off to continue working on the project in their spare time. We were also awarded the Galactic Impact Award at the end of the global judging.
Since then the Met Office have generously supported our project. We have data sources for the UK which our team of scientists are working hard with to get them to all tie together for the app. To learn more about the Grower's Nation project and how to get involved go to www.growers-nation.org
Grower's Nation Education is a project which has grown from the idea, getting school children interested in growing too. Two schools are currently working on gardening projects and the lesson plans and blogs will soon be available online, for free, for other teachers to use. We hope to link schools around the world through the joint experiences of growing, cooking and eating their own vegetables. The children will also have the chance to contribute to the wiki pages of localised growing tips by interviewing local gardeners.
This weekend, we are going to be working towards creating a global agronomy data map using open source data. More details can be found here: http://idea.usaid.gov/opendata/growersnation

Connecting Educators and Agencies
May 15, 2017 –
With the new Indicator 13 requirement for school staff to invite agencies that pay for or provide transition services to all transition-age (14 years and older) IEP meetings, this is an opportunity for secondary special education staff to have real-life exposure to local community agencies that provide services to individuals with disabilities. The training delivery will take place at a local community agency in each of the counties. Representatives from OVR, MH/ID, SKN, provider agencies, etc… will participate in a panel presentation, informing educators about the continuum of services provided. IU 17 Educational Consultant, Brenda Roberts, will teach educators what to include in an IEP related to agency services. Participants will tour the host site. I believe the greatest benefit will be to new and middle school special education teachers who are less familiar with local community agencies.

The Witch of Turlingham Academy
Series: The Witch of Turlingham Academy book #1
Release Date: March 2012
Publisher: Atom
Format: Paperback
Pages: 212
Synopsis: It's not easy being the only day girl at Turlingham Academy: Sophie misses out on all the midnight feasts and late night gossip. And when new girl Katy turns up it feels like she's bewitching all of Sophie's friends! Katy's no witch, but there is a witch at Turlingham. Katy comes from a long line of witch hunters whose job is to stop evil magic. Sophie is going to help her - anything to get Katy out of her life and get things back to normal. But what she discovers means nothing will ever be normal again!
Review: The Witch of Turlingham Academy is a cute, easy read aimed at tweens. So the target audience is between 8-12, nevertheless as a 17 year old i still enjoyed it. I won this book recently and after reading a few heavy and complex books i wanted something that i could breeze through without difficulty so i choose this. Despite the young target audience, older readers can enjoy this book too. This book although has a simple story line, but the adventure is present from start till finish. Leaving all readers wanting to hear more of Sophie's adventures.
The book follows Sophie, the daughter of the headmistress of Turlingham Academy, as she goes back for a new term. Before the term has even officially begun she's in trouble. It seems everywhere she goes trouble follows. We join Sophie and her group of friends for midnight gossips and discussing crushes. When new girl Katy suddenly turns up at school, Sophie immediately thinks she's hiding something. While Sophie has newly developed problems of her own, she has to get to the bottom of Katy's secret and in the mean time discover her own.
Sophie was different to a normal character aimed at tweens. Sophie wasn't afraid to break the rules, she's tough. She's not overly girly and she's clever. The sort of person more girls need to read about. Not the pink princess that seems to be everywhere in the modern day. At first I didn't like Katy at all because of her whole secret but once you get to know her, she probably more human and down to earth than anyone else. She's in a position that she hates but has to go along with it to please her parents. Another thing i believe many tweens can relate too.
The Witch of Turlingham Academy is a brilliant book for tweens. The book is entertaining from start to finish. The action never stops. Nowhere in the book does it get boring and begin to drag, it is effortlessly enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this book to tweens. It's a mix of witchcraft in the modern world. It's a great book.

Read an Excerpt
Brianne held the heavy silver picture frame with both hands, staring fondly at the photo of the smiling couple behind the glass.
Three years, she thought. Three years since you've been gone.
Brianne wore an ear-to-ear grin in the picture, more giggle than smile. She'd been giddy with happiness as she'd posed with Carter Smith, the man who'd stolen her heart at a point when she hadn't expected to fall in love. She and Carter were standing against a palm tree, the picturesque stretch of sand and blue water in Hawaii behind them. Even if Brianne and Carter hadn't been in Maui for a romantic vacation, she would have remembered exactly when the photo had been taken.
It had been taken the day Carter had proposed to her.
The helicopter ride Carter had booked for them turned into the most memorable moment of all when he'd surprised Brianne with an exquisite cushion-cut diamond engagement ring. Soaring over a volcano, Carter had asked Brianne to marry him, and she had enthusiastically said yes. Emotionally, she'd been higher than any cloud, expecting that nothing would happen to destroy the happiness she'd been feeling at the time. Brianne had been in love and looking forward to a wonderful life with the man of her dreams. At the time, she couldn't imagine anything ever going wrong.
But things had gone wrong. Barely two months after they'd gotten engaged. All at once, everything had changed.
Brianne's eyes misted as she regarded the photo of her and Carter in happier times. It was still hard to believe what had happened, much less accept it.
And yet, here she was, without Carter. Today was the three-year anniversary since that tragic, cold day in the Rocky Mountains.
Gone. In an instant. Carter Smith had simply vanished.
That was the hardest part to bear, the not knowing if he was alive or dead.
The authorities had been of a different opinion than Brianne. No, they hadn't found Carter's body, but they had found remnants of the torn and bloodied jacket he'd been wearing. Given that finding, coupled with the unexpected snowstorm, they'd surmised that Carter had lost his way on the mountain and that the unthinkable had happened. Months later, hikers had stumbled upon Carter's backpackwhich included his passportapproximately ten miles from the spot where they'd found his jacket. That had solidified the opinion that he had died.
Brianne could not deny that the snowstorm had likely led to Carter getting lost. But what she did not acceptcould not acceptwas that the man who had so enthusiastically loved the outdoors and could cope in almost any circumstance could have become a victim of nature. The authorities believed one of two possibilities: the first was that Carter had died during the snowstorm and his remains had been eaten by animals. The second possibility was even worse to imaginethat Carter had been attacked and killed by hungry wildlife while alive.
Brianne shuddered. She didn't want to let her mind go there. Thinking that Carter had died was bad enough, but imagining that his body had been eaten That part was too much to contemplate. And yet, she had nightmares about exactly that.
But despite the nightmares, Brianne had been able to cling to some hope. The hope that since there had been no body, maybe Carter was still alive.
Before Carter's disappearance, Brianne had seen stories on the news about people who had been missing for years, only to turn up unexpectedly one day suffering from amnesia. After Carter's disappearance, she had become addicted to such stories. Four months after Carter was gone, she broke down and bawled when she saw a story on the news about a man in Oregon who had survived some mishap in the wilderness and had resurfaced across the country a year later. Brianne believed fervently that this would be the news she would one day get regarding Carter.
Shayna didn't believe Carter was alive. Nor did anyone else in her family. But how could Brianne allow herself to think that Carter was dead when it was just as possible that he was alive somewhere, not knowing who he was and therefore unable to get back to her?
Perhaps she was naive to hope. But she hadn't wanted to give up. Now, however, on the three-year anniversary of Carter's disappearance, she was wondering if she had simply been lying to herself the entire time.
Just because you wished something was true didn't make it so.
After three years, Brianne needed some sort of closure, and that closure would not come by hanging on to the hope that Carter might return. As hard as it was going to be, she had to say a final goodbye to him.
If Carter had not returned yet, it was likely that he never would. Her sister, Shayna, had tried to encourage her to move on for her own sanity.
Brianne knew that Shayna was right. Moving on was truly the only way she would ever heal. Sometimes in life bad things happened. This was one of those times.
Brianne replaced the framed photo on her dresser and drew in a deep breath in an attempt to calm her frayed nerves. Perhaps a trip to the Rockies would help her get closure. She had felt helpless at the time when Carter was lost. The authorities had searched the mountains, as had Alex ThorpeCarter's best friend, who had accompanied him on the ill-fated hiking trip. Brianne had gone crazy with worry at a nearby hotel, waiting for word, unable to do anything to aid in the search. All she could do was pray.
There had been a memorial service organized by Carter's family, held at the Rockies. But Brianne had stubbornly refused to attend and had instead returned home. One year later, in Buffalo, she had attended the memorial service marking the one-year anniversary of Carter's disappearance. She had done so out of respect for Carter's family rather than a desire to move on, but she had been angry at almost everyone in attendanceat all the people who had so quickly chosen to believe that their friend and family member was not coming back.
Before, Brianne had doggedly not wanted to give in to the belief that Carter was dead, as if just wishing him alive would influence reality.
Now she had to move on. And maybe the only way to do that was to go to the last place Carter had been seen alive. Have her own private memorial for Carter at the Rockies and bid him a final goodbye.
As she made her way downstairs to the kitchen, the idea felt right. Yes, she would plan a trip to British Columbia. It would be nice to go with Shayna, but her sister had just gotten married, and she and her new husband, Donovan, were still honeymooning in Jamaica. Brianne's parents were also out of town, having decided to spend an extra week in Jamaica as well.
There was no reason Brianne couldn't go to British Columbia alone. In fact, maybe that was best. A quiet time for reflection, to make peace with what had happened.
Brianne was a manager at Scented Suds, a store that sold a variety of luxury body soaps and lotions. As a manager, she was entitled to several weeks of vacation per year. But she had just returned from Jamaica two days ago and didn't like the idea of requesting more time off without much notice. However, it was necessary. Alexis, the store's assistant manager, would certainly be able to manage the store in her absence. Brianne would have to run the request by Marlene, the district manager. She didn't doubt that Marlenewho knew firsthand the stress Brianne had gone through when Carter had disappearedwould allow her this additional time off.
Brianne got herself a low-fat granola bar and a bottle of water from the kitchen and then went back up to her room, where she booted up her laptop. The smart thing would be to check for flights and find out when it was most economically feasible to head to Canada. Then she could call Marlene with a definite time frame.
It would have been nice to be there today, the official anniversary. But the thought had come to Brianne too late. The truth was, it was a thought she hadn't even considered. Perhaps it was seeing her sister and Donovan, so much in love on their wedding day, that was leading her to take that final step toward closure.
Three years had passed. It was time she made peace with the fact that Carter wasn't coming back.
She was only twenty-seven. Far too young to accept that she would never get married. She couldn't even imagine falling in love with someone else, but Brianne knew that time healed all wounds. One day, she would fall in love again.
While she couldn't be at the Rockies today, Brianne had waited three years to get to the point where she finally felt like she could move on. She could wait a week or so more.
And for her, moving on meant more than accepting that Carter wasn't coming back. It was letting go of the anger she felt toward Carter's best friend, Alex. Alex had been with Carter that fateful day, and he had come out of the mountain alive. Her rational brain knew that Alex wasn't responsible for what had happened to Carter, but he had never satisfactorily explained why he had gotten off the mountain and Carter had not.
Brianne had been looking for answerssomething she'd made very clear to Alex on the few occasions that they'd spoken. Now, she was beginning to consider just how hard the whole ordeal must have been for Alex. To be the one who survived, while his friend had not. He had probably replayed the day's events over and over in his head, wondering if there was one thing he could have done differently that would have changed the outcome. Brianne certainly hadand she hadn't even been on the trip.
She wasn't the only one who'd lost someone that cold November day. Alex Thorpe had lost a friend and business partner, and the guilt he felt because he hadn't been able to save Carter had likely eaten at him over the years.
Brianne poised her fingers over the keyboard, ready to type. But then she thought she heard the doorbell.
Had she?
She paused, straining to listen. A few seconds later, she knew she had heard correctly when the doorbell sounded again.
She got up from the small desk in the corner of her room, wondering who might be here. It was early evening, just after six, but dark outside. She didn't expect solicitors, nor a delivery person. Maybe it was her best friend, Kim, whom she'd spoken to earlier, coming to help get her mind off of the past.
Brianne hurried downstairs and then looked through the peephole as she always did before swinging the door open. But what she saw there made her reel backward.
Rather, who she saw there.
She was flabbergasted.
It may have been dark, but she knew her eyes were not deceiving her. Even if never in a million years did she expect to see him.
Indeed, two full years had passed since she'd laid eyes on him.
And yet, it made perfect sense that he was here. He, like she, had been forever affected by what had happened on this day three years ago.
The doorbell sounded again. Slowly, Brianne unlocked and opened the door. And there stood Alex Thorpe, on her small front porch, with a serious expression on his face.
And though Brianne had told herself only moments ago that she should hold no anger toward him, it flared again. As irrational as it was, Alex was a physical outlet for her pain and frustration. A person she could blame for something that had been out of everyone's control.
"Brianne." Alex spoke her name, as serious as the expression on his face.
Brianne said nothing. She didn't know what to say. The last time she and Alex had spoken, two years ago exactly, he'd gotten her so angry she'd stormed off.
"It's been a year, Brianne. There's been no sign of him. No action in any of his bank accounts. And he was never documented crossing the border back into the States. Do you really expect Carter to walk back into your life? What are you hanging on to?"
And Brianne realized, in that instant, why she'd been so angry with Alex over the past couple of years. At first, she had thought it was because Alex had been Carter's partner in crimethe guy Carter always went off with on his thrill-seeking adventures. From sky-diving to extreme skiing to base jumping off of buildings to hiking mountains in bad weather. It had been easy to think that if Alex had refused to go with Carter, Carter might not have gotten lost on that mountain.
But it was more than that, and Brianne now knew why. Alex had been Carter's best friend, and yet he had so easily given up on him. Like the others who wanted to declare him dead and move on, Alex had done the very same thing.
But as a best friend, she had expected him to want to do all in his power to find Carter. To travel to the ends of the earth, if that was necessary. To leave no stone unturned, as the saying went. Instead, on the one-year anniversary of Carter's disappearance, Alex had told her that she was foolishly hanging on to hope.
"I'm holding on to our love!" Brianne had shouted at him outside the church, not meaning to yell. "And what exactly happened on the mountain? How did you and Carter get separated? How is it that you came off of the mountain alive, but he didn't?"
Alex hadn't answered the question, just advised her that it was time for her to accept reality. That was when Brianne had stormed off, away from Alex Thorpe, not caring if she never saw him again.
And yet here he was, on her doorstep two years later.
"You shouldn't be here," she said to him now. She might have resolved to let go of her anger toward him, but him being here was stirring up the uncertainty and helplessness she'd felt surrounding Carter's disappearance. If they spoke again, it had to be when she was ready. When she could talk to him without the weight of Carter's disappearance between them.
"I know you don't want to see me," Alex said, his voice low. "And trust me, I wouldn't be here if this wasn't important. But what I have to say it needed to be in person." He paused for a moment, huddling into his leather jacket as a cold breeze swirled. "Can we talk inside?"
Brianne looked beyond him to the late-model, high-end Mercedes parked at her sidewalk. It was black and sparkled beneath the streetlights. She knew it was hiswhich meant he'd driven here.
