No sooner did Led Zeppelin fans finally come to grips with the notion that Led Zeppelin will never reunite because singer Robert Plant has moved on, than Plant himself says he's open to possibly doing something with Page and bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones next year, according to an interview he gave on the Australian version of "60 Minutes."
When asked about Zep's long dormant period since their one-off reunion gig at London's 20,000-seat O2 Arena in 2007, Plant said, "(Page and Jones) are Capricorns. They don't say a word-they leave it to me. I'm not the bad guy-you need to see the Capricorns. I've got nothing to do in 2014."
Brian Wilson will perform with fellow "former" Beach Boys Al Jardine and David Marks on July 25 at the Fraze Pavilion in Kettering, Ohio, according to Wilson's website. This will be the first time the three will perform together since all the surviving members of The Beach Boys, that also includes Mike Love and Bruce Johnston, reunited last year for a highly successful 50 th Anniversary Tour and recorded their first album together in decades, "That's Why God Made the Radio," that reached No. 4 on Billboard's Top 200 album chart.
After that 50 th tour, Love, who is Wilson's cousin and who owns the Beach Boys name, announced that he and Johnston, who joined in 1965, would resume performing as The Beach Boys without Wilson, Jardine and Marks, regardless that each stressed that they wanted to continue touring and performing with Love and Johnston. In an open letter to the Los Angeles Times shortly after he heard that Love would carry on without them (as was the original plan), Wilson wrote of the reunion, "the last few months have been some of the happiest in my life."
He explained, "I was completely blindsided by his (Mike's) press release (announcing that the services of the three were no longer wanted)- What's a bummer to Al and me is that we have numerous offers to continue, so why wouldn't we want to?" He added, "What's confusing is that by Mike not wanting or letting Al, David and me to tour with the band, it sort of feels like we're being fired."
Love's Beach Boys just played the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Fla. and has 21 additional dates set in the U.S., Canada and Japan beginning March 1 that includes a May 11 stop at the Cannery Hotel and Casino in North Las Vegas.
Van Halen singer David Lee Roth misses what high-harmonied bassist Mike Anthony brought to Van Halen, he tells Rolling Stone.
Anthony was an original member of the Pasadena rockers until 1995 before serving the group in a diminished capacity until 2003. At that time, the Van Halen brothers, guitar wiz Eddie and drummer Alex, were all set to fire Anthony. They invited the band's second singer Sammy Hagar to rejoin for a major two-year tour, but Hagar refused to sign up unless Anthony was also included, so Eddie and Alex agreed. However, at the conclusion of that acrimonious worldwide jaunt, Hagar left for good and Anthony was canned in favor of Eddie's young bassist son, Wolfie, who has served as Van Halen's bass player ever since.
Since then, Anthony has played with his good pal Hagar in the singer's Waborita, and in 2008, the two teamed up with another guitar wizard, Joe Satriani and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith to form the successful supergroup, Chickenfoot.
Of Anthony, Roth says, "Clearly, vocals are every bit as much a component of success as a rhythm section or a guitar solo, and there's an old expression saying, 'they don't go home singing the lighting show, they don't go home singing the (stage) production.' And what we have at our fingertips is arguably one of the greatest high tenor voices ever - that was in Michael Anthony. In our tiny little corner of the universe, that voice is as identifiable as the high voice in Earth, Wind & Fire, as identifiable as the high voice in the Beach Boys."
After months of speculation about the group's future, Van Halen has signed on to headline the first Stone Music Festival, April 20-21 in Sydney, Australia. The band will headline the first day while Billy Joel, who has been mostly inactive the past couple years, will top the bill on day two.
The fest also features Buckcherry and Richie Ramone who was The Ramone's drummer from 1982-1987 and the supergroup, Kings Of Chaos, that includes Guns N' Roses vets Matt Sorum, Duff McKagan and Gilby Clarke, Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott, singer Sebastian Bach and former Deep Purple singer-bassist Glenn Hughes.
The Rolling Stones will meet next month to figure out what they're going to do with the rest of 2013, guitarist Ron Wood tells Britain's Independent.
Wood wants the band to play the U.K.'s most prestigious music festival, Glastonbury, which runs June 26-30. Playing Glastonbury is, "going to be my first question to them," he said. It's something I've always been interested in. I'm going to twist their arms."
The Stones reunited late last year for two shows in London and three in New Jersey and Brooklyn with a couple short sets at some clubs in Paris, where they rehearsed and recorded two new songs for the 50 th anniversary "Grrr!" CD packages.
Quirky L.A. punk and alt rock faves Oingo Boingo gave its final performance on Halloween night 1995 at the Universal Amphitheatre (now called the Gibson Amphitheatre). The group's singer-composer Danny Elfman hasn't sung live since that night. That will change on Oct. 7 at London's Royal Albert Hall.
Elfman, who composed film and TV scores in his spare time in between Boingo's recording and touring schedule dating back to director Tim Burton's "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" in 1985, made it his full-time job as soon as he walked off that Universal Amphitheatre stage.
Among his film scores are for the three "Men in Black" films, "Scrooged," "Dick Tracy," "Good Will Hunting," "Taking Woodstock," "Spy Kids" and virtually each of Burton's films, including "Beetlejuice," "Batman," "Mars Attacks!," "Alice in Wonderland," "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and last year's "Dark Shadows" and "Frankenweenie."
"Danny Elfman's Music From the Films of Tim Burton" will find the former frontman, who will turn 60 on May 29, singing the Jack Skellington songs he sang in the hit 1993 stop motion animated horror fantasy, "The Nightmare Before Christmas," according to a release from the Albert Hall. In the release, Elfman says he finds "the idea of performing some of Jack Skellington's songs from 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' live for the very first time is immensely exciting."
Many of the remaining members of Oingo Boingo currently perform occasionally throughout southern California as Johnny Vatos' Boingo Dance Party that is led by Boingo's popular former longtime drummer.
Black Sabbath is almost finished recording "13," its first album with singer Ozzy Osbourne in 35 years. The album is set for a June release.
Three of the English band's four original members are involved in the project, including bassist Geezer Butler and guitarist Tony Iommi, who battled lymphoma throughout the process. Drummer Bill Ward opted out, citing contractual problems.
It was Ward's departure from the reunion that prompted producer Rick Rubin to suggest that they invite volatile former Cream and Blind Faith drummer Ginger Baker, renowned for his legendary short fuse and deep-seeded anger, to take Ward's place, according to Rolling Stone.
And what was Iommi's reaction? "Bloody hell!"
Taking that response for a "no," Rubin then suggested former Rage Against the Machine drummer Brad Wilk. This suggestion was accepted. Said Wilk of the Sabbath recording sessions, "I'd never heard louder instruments in my life. And I've played in some pretty loud bands."
Black Sabbath will tour New Zealand and Australia from April 20 - May 4, playing seven concerts. Then, they'll hop over to Japan for a gig on May 12 at Ozzfest in Tokyo.
British Invasion band The Zombies, that celebrated its 50 th anniversary last year, will make two live afternoon concert appearances at the big SXSW music festival in Austin on March 15 and 16, festival organizers announced.
The March 15 event will also feature a pre-concert interview with singer Colin Blunstone and keyboardist Rod Argent, both of whom are original members.
The band will be wrapping up a brief U.S. and Canadian jaunt at SXSW. Then, the group that also includes former longtime Kinks bassist Jim Rodford (who is Argent's cousin) will join The Moody Blues Cruise of the Caribbean out of Ft. Lauderdale, from March 20-25. The month of May will see the band tour the U.K., performing 23 gigs.
They'll be back here for four shows in Connecticut, Maryland and Pennsylvania in mid-June.
Iconic Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd canceled shows last weekend in Biloxi, Miss., after 61-year-old founding guitarist Gary Rossington was hospitalized with what was called an abdominal infection, according to The Boot. At the time of this writing, Rossington remains hospitalized, but a show on Saturday in Kinder, La., remained on the schedule. The band will be on the road through August, playing 13 gigs mostly in the South and Midwest.
In 1961 in Hamburg, The Beatles (John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and drummer Pete Best), backed up on some recordings of a fellow Englishman, singer-guitarist Tony Sheridan, who they met there the year before and with whom they had become good friends, especially with Harrison. Those sessions also allowed The Beatles to record their own first professional recordings, the songs, the 1927 standard, "Ain't She Sweet," and the Harrison-Lennon instrumental, "Cry for a Shadow."
Seven songs sung by Sheridan are known to exist, although he and Lennon said there are others. Sheridan's album was released as "with The Beat Brothers," aka, The Beatles. Sheridan's version of the traditional Scottish song, "My Bonnie," made it to No. 5 on the British pop singles chart. It was by far the biggest hit of his career. Decca released "My Bonnie" in the U.S. and a copy was auctioned off in 2007 for $15,000.
Sheridan died in Hamburg at 72 after undergoing heart surgery, reports the New York Daily News. He had been ill for some time, although he performed as recently as last spring.
Back in the day, Sheridan became friends with many of the English-speaking acts that came to England and Hamburg. On April 17, 1960, he asked for a ride from his U.K. tour mates, Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent and Cochran's fianc?, songwriter Sharon Sheeley. They told him no. A short time later, the car crashed, killing the21-year-old Cochran and leaving Vincent with injuries that plagued him until his death in 1971 at 36.
McCartney released a statement reading, "Tony was a good guy who we knew and worked with from the early days in Hamburg. We regularly watched his late night performances and admired his style. He will be missed."
Shadow Morton, who wrote "Remember (Walking in the Sand)," and co-wrote "Leader of the Pack" in 1964 for girl group, The Shangri-Las, and who produced teenager Janis Ian's agonizing "Society's Child" and Vanilla Fudge's hard rock version of The Supreme's hit, "You Keep Me Hanging On," in 1967, died of cancer at 67 in Laguna Beach.
The legend has it that Brill Building hit songwriter Jeff Barry doubted Morton's claim that he was a songwriter, so he challenged him to give him a sample of his work. He took off, wrote "Remember (Walking in the Sand)," returned a short time later and handed it to Barry.
Morton convinced The Shangri-Las to record it and it hit No. 5.
Members of Iron Butterfly swear that Morton produced "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" in 1968, regardless that the official record notes the producer as Jim Hilton.
Tandyn Almer, who wrote The Association's propulsive first hit, "Along Comes Mary," in 1966, died of heart-related illnesses in McLean, Va., at 70, according to the Washington Post. In addition to that Association hit that reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, he also co-wrote, with Brian Wilson and others, The Beach Boys hits, "Marcella" in 1972 and "Sail On, Sailor," in 1973. After his Wilson collaborations, he disappeared, leaving his whereabouts known to only a couple family members. Almer, who was bipolar, actually moved to the Washington, D.C. area, where he lived for the rest of his life.
Among the recently released albums, digital reissues and deluxe box sets are an import, "Songs of a Lifetime," from former Emerson, Lake and Palmer singer-bassist-guitarist Greg Lake's recent solo tour; Robin Trower's "Roots and Branches" that sees the former Procol Harum axeman covering 11 songs that were early influences, including B.B. King's "The Thrill is Gone," Leiber and Stoller's "Hound Dog" that was a hit first for "Big Mama" Thornton then Elvis, among others; "Bringing It Back Home," the first CD in six years from rock and jazz fusion guitarist Robben Ford; "Paul Hardcastle VII," a smooth jazz album from the synth-pop keyboardist; and "Messenger," from Jay Leno's former music director, guitarist Kevin Eubanks.
And "The Complete Hits Of Johnny Crawford," features 26 mostly out-of-print songs, and includes eight early '60 s Hot 100 charters from the teenage singer-actor who played Mark McCain on TV's "The Rifleman;" "Policy - Paper Sleeve - CD" from Motels' frontwoman Martha Davis; an import re-issue of Freda Payne's 1974 LP, "Supernatural High;" an import reissue of Etta James' 1976 album, "Etta is Betta Than Evvah!;" an import reissue of pop and soul singer Stephanie Mills' 1984 release, "I've Got the Cure;" "Down in Louisiana," from 77-year-old Delta bluesman Bobby Rush.
Box sets include a 3-CD "Garcia Live Vol. 1" from The Jerry Garcia Band recorded in 1980; and a 92-track, 3-disc box, "Complete Pop Instrumental Hits of the Sixties - Volume 3 - 1962," that includes biggies like Acker Bilk's "Strangers on the Shore," David Rose's "The Stripper," The Tijuana Brass' "The Lonely Bull," "Green Onion" from Booker T. & The MG', and B. Bumble & The Stinger's "Nut Rocker," as well as deeper cuts from Lawrence Welk, Dick Dale & The Del-Tones, Duane Eddy, trumpet-playing big band leader Ray Anthony, King Curtis, Nashville piano deity Floyd Kramer, Nelson Riddle and His Orchestra, Ferrante & Teicher and more.
Among the new DVDs are "The Byrds - Turn Turn Turn: A Musical Documentary (2013)," featuring performances filmed in 1965; and "Yes - And You & I: A Musical Documentary (2013)," featuring the Brit prog-rock legends in performance in 1974; "The Animals - Boom Boom: A Musical Documentary (2013)," shows the British Invasion blues rockers live in 1964-1965; "'60 s Rock Heroes" showcases performances of The Yardbirds, Them with Van Morrison, The Byrds, Eric Burdon and The Animals, The Kinks and others; and "Molly Hatchet - Live at Rockpalast."
Classic acts from the ' 50 s, '60 s and '70 s continue to perform. Here's what one of them is doing.
Crosby, Stills and Nash's 1969 four-movement classic, "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," is ranked at No. 426 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and is recognized as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame trio's crowning achievement. The song's title refers to its composer, Stephen Stills' girlfriend at the time, folk and pop singer Judy Collins.
Collins actually began her career as a teen playing classical piano. She made her professional debut playing Mozart when she was 13. However, she soon developed a love for folk music and her career as a classical pianist was over. She began her folk career playing clubs in the center of all the folk action, New York City's Greenwich Village in 1959 (she was also a street busker at the time). She released her first LP, "A Maid of Constant Sorrow," in 1961 when she was 22.
She began by recording version of hits by the emerging giants of the era, Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, Pete Seeger and the like. By the mid-'60 s, she recorded songs by The Beatles, Joni Mitchell and a man who became a good friend, Leonard Cohen.
Her biggest hit was her 1968 take on Mitchell's "Both Sides Now," that went to No. 8 on Billboard's Hot 100 pop singles chart, as well as No. 3 on the easy Listening chart and won her the Grammy for Best Folk Performance that year. Other hits included her take on the 18 th century Christian hymn, "Amazing Grace" that hit No. 15 on the Hot 100 and No. 5 on the easy listening/adult contemporary chart in 1970, and her No. 3 adult contemporary biggie, "Send in the Clowns," in 1975, from Stephen Sondheim's 1973 Broadway musical, "A Little Night Music."
Throughout her career Collins has been a dedicated social activist, and is currently an ambassador for UNICEF campaigning mostly for the abolition of land mines.
Collins, who will turn 74 on May 1, still maintains an active recording (she's released two new studio albums since 2010) and performing schedule. This weekend finds her in upstate New York, in Buffalo and Syracuse. March will see her perform a dozen concert from Virginia down to North Carolina and Florida and out west to Colorado before heading back east again to Connecticut and a show at the Sellersville Theatre in Sellersville, Penn.
More on "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" - Stills formed CSN for the sole purpose of recording the song. Things went so well that the three decided to continue.
Stills and Collins, who met and began dating in 1967, were breaking up at the time Stills recorded the demo in 1969, but she was at that session. A little earlier, Collins was in New York City acting in its Shakespeare Festival production of "Peer Gynt" and had fallen head over heels in love with its star, Stacy Keach, whose acting brother James married Collins' sister Holly. Soon, she left Stills for him, leaving Stills heartbroken.

• provenance •
Pronunciation: prah-ve-nêns • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. Place of origin, source, derivation. 2. Proof of authenticity used in authenticating art and antiques.
Notes: Today's Good Word is a more eloquent way of saying origin or source; that is why it is employed mostly in the worlds of art and antiques. It comes without family, not even an adjective provenant, which usually accompanies nouns ending with -ence/-ance.
In Play: As mentioned above, when you want a more sophisticated word than source or origin, today's word works nicely: "I was afraid to ask the provenance of the laptop computer I purchased at the flea market." In the art and antique worlds a provenance should contain an unbroken history of ownership: "My Picasso came with a provenance, but it had a 20-year lacuna in it."
Word History: Today's Good Word comes from French provenant "originating", the present participle of provenir "to originate", from Latin provenire, composed of pro- "forth" + venire "to come". As difficult as it may seem, both come and venire share the same provenance. It set out from the original Proto-Indo-European gwem- "to come". In Latin the [g] dropped off and the [w] became [v], a common occurrence in the history of IE languages. Then Latin added its own endings. In the Germanic languages, the [g] changed to [k] by regular rule and the [w] vanished. When all was said and done, we got venire in Latin and come in English. (Perry Lassiter has apparently been watching too much Antique Roadshow on PBS, for 'twas he who suggested today's Good Word in the Alpha Agora)

Open Roads
Images Of Women Motorcyclists In Contemporary New Zealand Culture
de Lance Shepherd
Acerca del libro
Shot in the Wellington and Southern Central region of the North Island of New Zealand over 12 weeks in 2010, Open Roads is a series of photographs challenging the modern stereotype associated with women riders in New Zealand's contemporary motorcycle culture.
Throughout the first 50 years of its existence, motorcycling was regarded as an equal pastime.
Many early advertisements, notably for Harley Davidson, present women as able and proud riders, pictured with wide smiles promoting family involvement and enjoyment.
Since then the modern biker image has been shaped considerably by media marketing and advertising campaigns through to popular films based on the outlaw bike culture.
Women have been increasingly portrayed as an accessory to the motorcycle, their role shifted to being one of pillion "perched upon small, high, ass-viewing seats on the rear bumper" (Conner, 2009)
By showing the underlying common passion that drives this group of women to ride and in some cases race motorcycles, I aim to challenge this modern stereotype.
- Lance Shepherd 2010

dmkilbride Darn...I was hoping you would have full view of the book instead of just the tease 15 pages.
The women always ride Harleys up here in in the States...I do find that odd. I've only seen one on a crotch rocket.

Stoney's world
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 09/21/06
Ask an animal lover to define the term, and they'll describe the devotion of a Lab or a collie.
Ask a Hokie or a Wahoo about loyalty, and you'll hear of season tickets going back decades, or blue/orange/maroon themes for cars, wardrobes and home decorating.
But ask a Highland Springs H.S. alum of the last 50 years, and one name comes to the lips: Stoney.
At 69, Robert "Stoney" Jones has never held office, but could likely win a local election in a landslide.
This most prominent citizen of Highland Springs is not its mayor or its most successful business leader. He was never a stand-out in athletic competition -- unless you count his reputation for bruising tackles as a teen-age linebacker on a sandlot team. Yet he owns a collection of game balls, trophies, and team caps and jackets that would put a Heisman winner to shame. As the Springers' premiere statistician, he can reel off scores, league records and even a play-by-play of big game from decades ago.
Not bad for a guy who was a sixth grade dropout.
The son of a Wise, Va., coal miner, Jones was already struggling in life when his dad died of black lung disease and the family had to be split between Wise and Richmond. A bout of whooping cough Jones had as a child ("My mother said I had a 105 degree temperature," he says almost proudly) may or may not have been the culprit; but at any rate, Jones grew up with learning limitations and left formal schooling in adolescence.
Since their father was a Mason, the Jones brothers moved to the Masonic Home of Virginia in eastern Henrico, then a home for needy children. Stoney's brothers went on to star at Highland Springs, and brother Joe, who played football for Al Rinaldi in the 1950s, asked Al to find a place for Stoney in sports.
Thus he began his long career as ball boy while Joe was a player; brother Ronnie played for Rinaldi soon afterwards. Jones has been known to cite Ronnie as his favorite all-time Springer, but one of the latest Springer alums is giving Ronnie a run for his money.
"Victor," he says of "Macho" Harris, who now plays for Virginia Tech, "is better than my brothers were. Macho, he's the nicest kid you'd ever meet. He ain't cocky -- ain't cocky!"
In October 2004, after a Richmond Times Dispatch photographer captured Harris on a touchdown run -- and the photo ran with an elated, very animated Stoney clearly visible in the background -- the clipping was hung on a bulletin board at the field house. Anyone who stopped by was ushered to the bulletin board by a beaming Stoney.
"Look!" he told them. "Look at my picture!"
A half century of service
As HSHS ball boy for more than 50 years, Jones is a master at the task of rotating the two game balls to keep them dry and in playing condition, and running them on and off the field to officials.
And don't let that ragged lope of his fool you -- Jones can move. HSHS trainer Jim Meunier brags that when Stoney was 56, he apparently beat a 19-year-old who challenged him to a foot race.
In keeping with the tradition established under Rinaldi, Jones is now senior member of a squad of younger graduates of the HSHS special education program who work the Springer sidelines on Friday nights.
Wesley Walden, Graham Wright, and Kirk Hardy all help out as assistant managers -- though Walden enjoys an extra title all his own.
"His left arm doesn't work," says Rudy Ward, activities director and a former coach for HSHS, "so we call him our 'right-hand man.' "
Wright has also been recognized for his contributions with a special title. A full-time employee at Bunkie Trinite trophies, volunteer at the Richmond YMCA, and veteran competitor in basketball, golf, and softball, he was honored this spring as Special Olympics of Virginia's Athlete of the Year.
Perhaps it's appropriate that Stoney, the dean and elder statesman of managers for HSHS football, just took a job at Dean Foods in Sandston. Ten hours a day, four days a week he loads and unloads 36-pound boxes of margarine off trucks -- so that he can have Friday game days free. "That's a lot of butter!" chortles Stoney. "I got my freezer full!"
Noting that Stoney has retired more than once in a career that includes serving as groundskeeper at the Masonic home and custodian at HSHS, Meunier concluded that Stoney seems unable to remain retired. He gets bored.
"He's pushing 70," says Meunier admiringly, citing the ease with which Jones can sling a large water cooler onto a cart. "But he's still at it."
What's in a nickname?
Whether it's the "whippin' " he got when he was nine (apparently for climbing a tree during a game of cowboy with brother Ronnie), or the prize bull raised at Masonic Home that tore up a boxcar, Stoney Jones relishes his stories. He'll even tell a few on himself -- such as a recent face-plant he made in the mud after tripping at a JV game with Henrico HS.
"They asked, 'You okay? You okay?'" he recalls with a grin, gleefully savoring his punch line. "I said, 'You can't hurt an old man!"
Then there's the story of the 'Stoney' name, which grew out of an incident in which he hit his head on a brick wall.
On purpose? he is asked.
Oh yes, on purpose. Jones head-butted the wall because he did not want to face "the gauntlet," a paddling line then used as a disciplinary measure at the Masonic Home.
And the wall?
"I knocked it down – broke it in two," he says matter-of-factly.
"He still has the original brick," interjects Meunier with a smile.
But it's the sports stories that get Stoney going. How he loves to just sit and reel off the names of all the coaches who have come and gone during his tenure!
"Coach [Lindy] Hill, Coach Rinaldi, Coach Burrell, [current] Coach Scott [Burton].
"Coach Scott, he's like a daddy to me," Jones adds solemnly.
Asked to cite a few highlights from his career, he regales a reporter with stories of no-hitters, TD runs and a grand slam home run hit by hall-of-famer Kip Coughlan. (Stoney is ball boy during basketball and baseball seasons also.) He tells how it felt to hang over the rail at a nail-biter basketball playoff won by the Springers. "I was nervous -- my eyes were all bloodshot. Three overtimes!" Of being unable to sleep all night after the excitement of beating Varina in football last Dec. 13.
Jones also recalls a trip to Hampton Roads in the 1970s when the crowd actually used the benches as snowplows to clear the field for play. "It snowed like cats and dogs. But Coach wouldn't cancel it -- playoff game!"
"You asked him the wrong question," Meunier tells the reporter, with a mock roll of his eyes. "You'll never stop him now."
No, there's no stopping Stoney. Not with brick walls. Not with a supposedly life-ruining "handicap." Not even age stops Stoney.
And there's no missing him either. His photo presence is all over the HSHS Wall of Fame, where he shares space with his brothers Joe and Ronnie on the wall for star Boosters.
Frank Daylor, who worked numerous HSHS games as an official for the Central Virginia Football Officials Association, calls Stoney the most widely known citizen of Highland Springs.
"I've been down to Highland Springs when he was walking down the sidewalk," says Daylor, "and everyone was making a fuss over him -- honking and waving and yelling, "Hi Stoney! Hey, Stoney!"
And every single one of his fans, in return, gets his signature grin.
In 57 years, Stoney Jones has missed just a handful of games -- maybe five -- out of almost 600. As Rudy Ward has said, "At Highland Springs our history is our strength, and Stoney is in a lot of that history. Stoney is married to the school."
To Jones, it's simple. "I love my kids, and my kids love me.
"When I don't come, they all say, 'Where's Stoney?'"

Dave Peppler, pastor
By Ashley Luck, Special to the Citizen 08/20/2017 General NewsReligion
Dave Peppler, pastor of Chamberlayne Baptist Church, remembers the epiphany he had on a cold afternoon in northern Ohio when God gave him a sense of direction, after he had been wondering what life had in store for him. It was then that he knew that he wanted to become a pastor and serve God.
Peppler, a Delaware native who grew up in Ohio, was ordained in Brownsboro, Ky. in 1998, but his education didn't end there. > Read more.

Sandbags are in short supply in parts of Wiltshire as ground-level water threatens to flood homes and roads across the county.
At Travis Perkins builders' merchants in Marlborough stocks of hessian bags have sold out.
But at Jewson in Chippenham, the bags and the sand to fill them are still available despite a steady amount of requests for the product.
At B&Q in Devizes, stocks have been replenished after a huge demand a couple of weeks ago which saw all hessian bags sell out and customers resort to buying just plastic bags of sand.
A spokesman said: "Devizes hasn't been badly affected by the rain but people are coming from a wider area to buy sandbags."
Jewson in Chippenham said there had been quite a bit of demand.
A spokesman said: "People are also hiring a lot of small pumps and dehumidifiers."
Wiltshire Council had around 7,000 sandbags before the rain started in late December but it does not give them out to householders unless they are in imiment danger.
A council spokesman said it was down to home owners to protect their property and its sandbags were to stop flood water reaching strategic buildings such as hospitals and power stations as well protecting the region's most vulnerable residents.

WEIRD and wonderful costumes that graced Worcester's High Street in carnival style earlier in the year have gone on display for all to see.
The Magnificent MOTHS Parade was brought to the streets of Worcester city centre on Saturday, February 22 thanks to a collaboration between Museums Worcestershire and Imagineer Productions.
A day of magical and surprising performances and events inspired by Museums Worcestershire's collections, buildings and exhibitions took place as part of Love Worcester.
Now, the costumes which were designed by seven times winner of Trinidad Carnival, Brian MacFarlane, are being housed in the Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum in Foregate Street until Saturday, May 31.
Helen Large, of Museums Worcestershire, says the intention of the parade was to take the museum out onto the streets while also encouraging people to come back into the attractions and engage with the exhibitions.
"What amazes me when you look at the costumes is they are almost on a frame and they stick up, particularly the owl which rises right up in the air.
"The performers were actually dancing in them as well, so it must have been particularly amazing to have worn them."
The costumes will greet visitors as they enter the gallery and were designed to reflect the museum service's natural history collection, some of which Helen says are "so old and fragile they will never see the light of day again".
The parade started from the Guildhall and it welcomed back Victorian explorer and collector Winnie Bird and her Magnificent Giant Moths.

HOUSTON - Family and friends are organizing a fundraiser for a Needville teenager attacked by a shark while swimming with his church group in Surfside Beach.
Garrett Sebesta, 15, is still recovering at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Medical Center after the June 17 incident.
A Livestock Progress Show is planned for Aug. 17 at the Needville Harvest Park at 3001 Violet Street.
The event will also include a barbecue dinner, live and silent auction and a band.
Sebesta just finished his freshman year at Needville High School. He is active in the livestock community. He has won several state awards and planned to spend his summer showing livestock and attending livestock camps.
"We're looking for 75 to 100 people to help that day," said family friend Becky Reeh. "We want to make this like a mini-fair for Garrett."
Reeh hosted a planning meeting on Sunday at her home. More than one dozen people, including Sebesta's high school friends, relatives and community attended.
"We come from a very close family," said Taylor Ortega, Sebesta's cousin.
Ortega is taking care of Sebesta's barn while he is in the hospital. Everyone is welcome to volunteer at the benefit or to show their livestock.
"The progress show is not just limited to Fort Bend County," said Ortega. "People can come from all over Texas or Louisiana."
Lambs, goats and steers can be entered. Buckles, awards and blankets will be handed out. Judges will be on hand to determine winners.
The group organizing the benefit needs extra help.
"We need all kinds of donations," said Reeh. "From auction items, meat, ice, paper goods, and even toilet paper."
If you would like to help, you can sign up at the official Garrett Sebesta Benefit Facebook page.
You can also make a donation to the Garrett Sebesta Benefit at the Amegy Bank in Needville.

Cespedes forces extras, but Sox suffer loss
Slugger hits game-tying single in eighth; Napoli belts 17th home run
ST. PETERSBURG -- Yoenis Cespedes had already kept the Red Sox in the game with his bat, rifling a game-tying single in the eighth inning.
Two innings later, he tried to keep them in it once more with his cannon arm.
Ryan Hanigan led off with a hard grounder that went all the way to the wall. Against any other left fielder in baseball, it's an automatic double. But there is never any certainty in running on Cespedes, who made a tremendous throw to second.
The Red Sox didn't get the call, even after manager John Farrell challenged it. That double by Hanigan wound up being the key for the Rays in their 4-3, 10-inning win over the Red Sox.
"I thought he was out," said Farrell. "I thought it was a [darn] good throw, which we've seen any time there's been opportunities for him to cut down a baserunner. It's a true weapon."
Burke Badenhop then issued an intentional walk to Kevin Kiermaier. After a sacrifice bunt by Ben Zobrist, Badenhop also intentionally walked Wil Myers.
If Badenhop, a noted ground-ball specialist, could get one, perhaps the Red Sox could test their luck in the 11th inning. But Matt Joyce stung a flyball to deep left that went down as a walk-off RBI single.
Cespedes probably could have caught the ball if he pursued it. But knowing it was plenty deep enough to be a sacrifice fly, the left fielder walked off the field without giving pursuit.
"I was surprised they walked [Kiermaier], and I was still surprised that they walked Wil," said Joyce. "But, obviously, I was excited about the opportunity and ready for that challenge."
And Hanigan was relieved that his gamble to run on Cespedes paid off.
"I was already committed to going, and it was obviously as close as it gets, really," said Hanigan. "But hey, we got a call, and it looked like I got it in there. It set us up to get a guy in scoring position for that W."
Just a half-inning earlier, the Red Sox took themselves out of scoring position.
Christian Vazquez tried to get a go-ahead rally started for Boston in the 10th when he raked a one-out single. Off the bench came Jemile Weeks, who was making his debut for the Red Sox two days after being traded over from the Orioles. Weeks was swiftly picked off by Rays right-hander Grant Balfour.
"At some point, out of those next two batters, I was going to make an attempt," said Weeks. "Percentages show he wasn't going to pick off again, so we kind of leaned toward going at that moment. You play the percentages sometimes. He broke the percentages that time. I tried to get back and didn't make it."
With two outs in the top of the eighth, Cespedes came up with a game-tying RBI single to left on a 3-2 pitch from Steve Geltz, who was making his Rays debut.
Top prospect Mookie Betts got the rally started with a one-out single to left and scored from second on the equalizer by Cespedes.
"Yeah, his RBI-ability, when RBIs are presented, regardless of the time of the game, but particularly late, it's been very impressive," said Farrell. "He's not fearful of situations. He likes the moment and repeatedly comes through."
Rubby De La Rosa turned in a decent performance, going 5 1/3 innings while allowing six hits and three runs. He walked none and struck out four.
"He's powerful, he had better secondary stuff than last time out," said Farrell. "I thought he made a number of quality pitches. So many foul balls, which is a product of very good stuff. That ran the pitch count up and we're not at the point where we're looking to extend him too far. I thought he kept composure. I thought he repeated his delivery well. That was a solid 5 1/3 innings of work today."
The Red Sox jumped out first. Vazquez reached on a two-out walk in the third against lefty Drew Smyly and wound up scoring on an RBI double to the gap in left-center by Betts.
De La Rosa gave the momentum right back to the Rays in the bottom of the third. Hanigan opened the rally with a leadoff single. Zobrist reached on a one-out infield single. Myers pummeled an RBI double to right to tie the game at 1. Evan Longoria then struck a two-out, two-run single up the middle to make it 3-1, Tampa Bay.
"Ideally, it's a zero following the times we score," said Farrell. "It continues to be a point of emphasis with young pitchers, young starters in particular. A couple of base hits the other way and then obviously Longoria hits a good pitch down and away for the two-RBI [single]. But still, he kept things in check for the most part."
Mike Napoli drew Boston a run closer in the fourth when he hammered his 17th homer of the season, a one-out solo shot to left.
In the fifth, Xander Bogaerts helped run the Red Sox out of a possible rally. After a one-out double, he was caught trying to steal third.
"With Smyly's unloading time getting up to the 1.7 range, we feel like we've got the ability to take an extra 90 feet," said Farrell. "But he's typically going to score on a base hit. One of the prerequisites is to make sure that runner feels like he can have a success rate of 100 percent. You're never looking to get a guy thrown out, particularly at third base."

A SHOWJUMPER is one step away from her Olympic dream coming true after her stallion was selected for the World Class Equine Pathways.
Sarah Lundy, from Rising Bridge, wowed British showjumping judges at a viewing in Birmingham with her six-year-old horse Vegas, riding him over jumps as high as 1.35m.
Now Sarah, 24, who lives, works and trains at her family's Croft Top Farm – where the Rossendale and Hyndburn Equine Centre is based – will be travelling the length of the country, and beyond, in the hope that she, and her 17-hand high friend, will be spotted by Team GB.
Sarah, who began riding when she was three, said she was delighted to be selected for the Pathways, not least because she trained Vegas, who competes under the name of Diablo, from scratch.
She said: "I'm absolutely made up. I had no idea that we would get through as there was so many other more experienced horses there. He couldn't even canter a circle when we bought him from Germany two years ago.
"But he's got quite a famous dad, Berlin, who's competed in the Olympics and all over the world.
"He's so chilled and laid back, he sleeps all day. But when he comes out to jump he knows it's his time to do his job.
"It's my dream to go to the Olympics, and Vegas has got the right brain and the right training, so fingers crossed we can go all the way."

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The 15th-ranked Saint Leo University men's tennis will make a return trip to the NCAA Tournament as the Lions will travel to Miami Shores for a semifinal-round rematch with sixth-ranked Rollins. The Lions and Tars will square off at the Buccaneer Tennis Center on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m.
The Sunday contest against the Tars will get underway exactly one week after wrapping up a thrilling Sunshine State Conference third-place showdown claimed by the Tars 5-4. The match, spanning two days as a result of rain, saw Saint Leo (15-6) turn a 3-0 Rollins advantage into a four-all match with just No. 3 singles up for grabs. Rollins (13-8) squeaked out the win in that flight, squashing the comeback hopes.
The result of that match in the SSC Tournament, the NCAA awarded Rollins the No. 4 seed while the Lions became to No. 5 seed.
The winner of the semifinal matches on Sunday will square off in the Championship Match on Monday at 10 a.m.

The following Mets have filed for free agency: Elmer Dessens, Alex Cora, Carlos Delgado, Ramon Martinez, J.J. Putz, Brian Schneider and Gary Sheffield.
Fernando Tatis is the remaining eligible player yet to file.
You probably won't see most of these players with the Mets again next season.
The Mets decided not to pick up the $9.1 million option for Putz. That's a good decision, because he's always wanted to be a closer anyway and it's just too much money to spend on a setup man.
Schneider and Sheffield are definitely gone. Schneider was a good signal caller but just has no pop in his bat any more and the Mets need an offensive catcher. Sheffield is too injury prone and will do better with an American League club who can use him as a DH.
The likeliest player to return is Cora. He served as an everyday player with all of the injuries to the Mets' core, but he is essentially a good backup. Hopefully, his thumbs will heal in time for Spring Training. If he doesn't get picked up in free agency, it's a good shot you'll see him again in a Mets uniform.
Martinez could end up competing in Spring Training but ultimately returning to Triple-A.
That leaves the biggest question of all. Whither Delgado? If the Mets can make a move to get a solid offensive outfielder, then the need for Delgado would greatly diminish.
Daniel Murphy still needs work but could serve as an everyday first baseman if needed. Another problem with Murphy is his hitting. He started strong but was exposed as being a .260 batter once he started playing every day. He needs to improve in this area in addition to the Mets getting a bigger bat elsewhere.

Topic: Just read an amazing book
Just wanted to pass on the title of an amazing book that I just finished:
"The Shack" by William P Young.
It's a work of fiction but it really made me think and look at my relationship with God. It's a quick read but I highly suggest it.
"A prognosis is simply an audit of how truly precious each day is. Live each day to the maximum, celebrate what was, and what is - Don't spend your life looking forward to what will or might be." .... words of wisdom from my beloved son on hearing of his grandmother's CC prognosis.
