JBL PRX635 15" 3-Way Active Speaker System (Each)The PRX635's 3-way configuration was conceived, created, and tuned for accuracy and spectral balance. With a horn-loaded midrange, pattern control is maintained resulting in exceptional clarity and uniform sonic projection over the defined coverage area. This speaker is ideally suited to applications where the program material exhibits subtlety and nuance. Perfectly capable of reproducing high-fidelity, full-range sound without a subwoofer, when coupled with extended low frequencies of the PRX618S-XLF (sold separately), one experiences complete control over the entire audio spectrum. These cabinets can be stand-mounted but do require a large footprint tripod type stand. When polemounting the PRX635 on a subwoofer we highly recommend a pole no longer than 24" to ensure stability and safety. As with all the full-range PRX600 Series systems, two EQ selections can be used to optimize the system for the program material and/or environment. The input section also accommodates either Line or Mic/Instrument level inputs. The PRX635 is a self-powered, lightweight three-way loudspeaker system capable of delivering a very high level of performance, both in SPL and sonic accuracy.The PRX635 is a self-powered, lightweight three-way loudspeaker system capable of delivering a very high level of performance over a broad bandwidth. The PRX635 is comprised of one 380mm (15") 265F-1 Differential Drive woofer, a 165mm (6.5") 195H horn-loaded 90° by 50° mid-range and a 2414H 25.4mm (1") annular polymer diaphragm, neodymium compression driver mounted to a 90° by 50° horn, all driven by a 1500W (3 x 500) Audio Class-D power amplifier. A proprietary DSP chip is at the core of a fully featured input section, providing user selectable system EQ, protection, input sensitivity selection, cross-over functionality, dynamic limiting, and discrete component optimization.The amplifier input panel offers XLR or 1/4" jack compatibility and a sensitivity switch provides extra flexibility, making it possible to connect literally any sound source without using a mixer. Signal present and overload lights indicate the system status and assist in setting the optimum level, via the level control knob.All PRX600 cabinets are built from a combination of 25mm (on the top and bottom for added rigidity) and 18mm, strong, lightweight poplar plywood made structurally sound with tongue and groove joints. All PRX600 Series cabinets are protected by JBL's tour proven DuraFlex finish. Grilles are made from dent-resistant 16-gauge steel and handles are made from lightweight, glass-filled nylon for added strength and durability. All M10 suspension points are constructed from 14-gauge steel and have been tested with a yield-strength of 1000 pounds each.

text: The Rev. John B. Murray, C.M. Priest Residence was completed in December 2007. Fourteen members of the Congregation of the Mission, previously housed on the upper floors of St. Vincent Hall over several University offices, moved into the Tudor-style edifice in January. The new residence now allows the priests who teach or minister to the University community to remain in the heart of the campus, close to University events and activities and accessible to students and faculty alike, as they were while living in St. Vincent Hall. Most importantly, they remain adjacent to St. Thomas More Church, which St. John's President, Rev. Donald J. Harrington, C.M. has referred to as "the jewel of the campus." A dedication ceremony for the residence is scheduled to take place in the fall.

Did your family dabble in Gothardism?

RE: Did your family dabble in Gothardism?
Oh goodness. I've know personally two young men who went through the ALERT program. It changed them in not good ways. My brother's best friend growing went through ALERT, and it was like this...Christian zombification. The best comparison I can make is to the mages in Dragon Age II being made Tranquil. He turned into this constantly saccharine, yes-man with no opinions of his own anymore. My brother was completely unable to maintain a relationship with him after that. Just having his sleeves rolled up got a patronizing look-over from his friend, much less if my brother even casually disagreed with something a parent said. It was saddening.

Cadets are taught to take leadership and responsibility. I just did a quick Google search on ALERT, and any reports of ALERT cadets' actual experience seem to show ALERT teaches the opposite. Even one instance of the type of control and abuse (including, but not limited to hazing) ALERT admits to would result in the guilty party's termination of membership in CAP, and according to every report I have seen of people who have been in the program, there's a more serious level of abuse ALERT and ATI keep hidden from government authorities. For an organization built on submission to authority, its leaders do not seem to set a good example. (04-23-2012 04:08 PM)greg Wrote: I've been lying about being a cop, I just lie all the time. |

Can't say much about ALERT itself, but the ALERT Cadet program was my personal three-day hell in June of '97 (Sorry, JordanMaria, got the year wrong) at a Knoxville conference. While all the adults did their thing in the Thompson-Bowling arena on the UT campus, I was marched with all the other teen and pre-teen boys to a series of fields a couple of miles away. Not being the athletic type, I proceeded to: 1. Fall behind five teams every time they called a "double time march." 2. Fall down a downhill sidewalk during one double time march, injuring my wrist. 3. Chicken out of rappelling off the World's Fair Tower by a sudden attack of vertigo. 4. Fall 10 feet from a zipline tower, landing on my back. 5. Get stuck on a climbing wall. 6. Break down crying on the first day when my teammates mutinied against getting in formation in time, thus earning us extra P.T. 7. Do all this and gain other fun indelible scars on my psyche during my 12th birthday on the second day of "training." 8. Have a heated argument with my dad every morning, refusing to go while being told that rebellion was as the sin of witchcraft and that I needed to learn how to be a man. I will say one positive thing, though. The food was excellent. Subway the first day, KFC the second, and Pizza Hut the last. That was some comfort to this fat nerd. |

RE: Did your family dabble in Gothardism?
My dad was always wary of men who gather a following around them who hero-worship them. The IFB churches we were in did NOT have powerful Mogs who ruled the congregation with an iron fist. (We were also GARBC.) Because of his strong bent toward independence, he disliked Gothard; also he'd heard that Pentecostals or someone he disagreed with liked Gothard, so he chose to stay separate because of associations.
I think I happened upon a Wisdom booklet or two a couple times. They always confused me and I felt bad because they looked simple and used lots of Bible verses so I didn't understand why they made me uncomfortable. It wasn't until much later that I realized what Papa Bear said: that Gothard was "using verses to support his opinions when sometimes the verse said nothing of the kind." When we were married, someone in my husband's church gave us the Character Sketches as a wedding present. (I thought it was three volumes.) I thought they were beautiful; I didn't know much about them, and we were eager to read them together as a couple. At times, I didn't quite get the connections being made between the character trait, the animal, and the Scripture. It wasn't quite jiving, but I did like learning about animals and my rule-keeping, legalistic, oldest-child personality was enjoying the detailed descriptions of right behavior until I read his descriptions of Abigail and Jonathan. I don't remember which came first. I do know that I vehemently disagreed. When I came across the second, I gave up the Character Sketches complete in utter disgust. Both characters, whom I believed and had always been taught were GOOD, were depicted by Gothard as being bad, in both cases because they weren't properly submissive to their authority. I guess Abigial was supposed to make an appeal to her husband and then when he denied her request, stand meekly by wringing her hands as David and his men murdered every man on her property. I'd always admired Abigail and respected the way she bravely and wisely found a way to save the lives of her servants and family; Gothard took away her only option and left her a slave to the whims of a drunken fool. The Bible says Abigail was wise! David praised her, but Gothard depicted her as disobedient and wrong. And Jonathan was seen as evil he said his father was wrong to force the soldiers to pursue the enemy without eating. But Saul HAD been foolish and prideful and wrong. I still have the Character Sketches tucked away somewhere. I never wanted to pass them on because I disagreed with him so much. I agree with Papa Bear's description of the books above. I REALLY like http://www.recoveringgrace.org "Do not look so sad. We shall meet soon again." "Please, Aslan," said Lucy, "what do you call soon?" "I call all times soon," said Aslan. |

RE: Did your family dabble in Gothardism?
My parents dabbled in Gothardism about 30 or so years ago, in the late 70s or early 80s, but it didn't stick. They still have a few booklets and such from the IBLP conferences (creepy stuff, let me tell you... *shudder*); they would've had my sister and I go to the conferences as well had there been one near us... which, thankfully, there was not.

RE: Did your family dabble in Gothardism?
So, today my mom touched base with some good family friends who are all about ATI--all three sons did ALERT kind of into ATI. I don't think the daughter has done the girl equivalent, but I don't think she's old enough. The daughter has been having these short, standing blackouts. Which, as soon as my mom said this, I said, "She's having micro-seizures." There is epilepsy in the family, and her dad has had very severe seizures. They are going to a neurologist on Friday, and either the GP or the ER physician put her on anti-seizure meds until then.
But here's the thing--the Gothard taint--the ATI mom's first response, first reaction: it's a spiritual thing. She was afraid the daughter's spiritual walk wasn't right, and that she was trying to do things (what things, I don't know) her own way instead of submitting to God's way. Fortunately, there is some common sense in the family, so the third day in a row of multiple episodes, they went to the ER. But I just stood there and looked at my mom like, "what?" My immediate reaction to hearing about what seem to be seizures is, "Have they gone to a neurologist; that's a neurological issue." This mom's first reaction is, "How is your walk with God; is there a submission issue?" Gross. Forget the fear/it's just a crutch/that tries to hold you back/and turn your dreams to dust. |

My wifes parents held to some of the doctrines from him.The funny thing is that even though I knew instinctively that alot was wrong and dysfunctional I didnt know it was coming from a certain ministry.Basically my inlaws are left with a disrespectful 16 year old that doesnt respect his mother because the dad disrespects and doesnt back up his wife because he is the "man of the house and the woman is inferior" and a older son who doesnt want anything to do with them and my wife who moved 11 hours away from them once she married me.Since finding this site and the recovery site its like a light has been turned on....I finally can see why they are the way they are.

I've used Smith & Co's CPES and two-part filler. At least in the shop, both have performed as advertised and appear to be excellent products. The wood filler has better qualities than any epoxy/microballoon mix that I've used. It applies easier, takes a feather edge, dries stronger and less brittle but also has more flexibility. It sands well, but not quite as easily as epoxy microballon mix. Plus you don't have to deal with breathing the dust from the microballoons when you mix it up.
Have any of you tried Smith's other products? I'm especially interested in their Tropical Wood Glue, which they tout as an epoxy suitable for "difficult" woods like teak, oak and other oily woods.

Peregrine Financial Group (PFGBest) filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection on Tuesday night as disturbing details of the financially troubled firm and those charged with overseeing it have been revealed.
Reuters is reporting that Russell Wasendorf Sr., owner and chairman of PFG intercepted and forged bank documents for more than two years to cover up hundreds of millions of dollars in missing money, citing sources close to the situation.
According to the report Wasendorf intercepted documents after they were mailed by the National Futures Association (NFA) to U.S. Bank, where PFGBest had said it had more than $225 million on deposit. Wasendorf then forged documents and returned them to the NFA showing his firm was in compliance.
Reuters reports that Wasendorf had set up a post office box in Cedar Falls, Iowa. It was to that post office box that NFA sent the documents, which were addressed to the bank.
According to the NFA's Member Responsibility Action (MRA) it learned earlier this week that such documents may have been forged.
It also pointed out that that U.S. Bank account balances were off by up to $200 million as far back as February 2010.
According to the NFA, PFG filed daily electronic segregated funds report. The NFA also conducts annual audits for firms it serves as its Designated Self-Regulatory Organization. It is unclear why the large discrepancies in what was reported and the actual balances in the U.S. Bank account from as far back as February 2010 were not discovered in the annual audits.
An NFA spokesman stated that NFA does not comment on active investigations but notes that while FCMs file daily segregated account figures electronically, during an audit, bank confirmation of segregated fund accounts has traditionally been done through the mail.
Attain Capital Management, a customer of PFG, wrote in a blog yesterday, "MF Global had us angry, but this time, it's personal. Our clients have money with PFGBest. We have money with PFGBest. We were misled by senior leadership. We were let down by regulators. We were failed by our government."
The Chapter 7 filing shows that Wasendorf signed over power of attorney to his son Russell Wasendorf Jr. on July 3. Wasendorf Jr. is listed as president and COO and the only other member of PFG's board of directors, along with his father. The filing lists estimated assets at somewhere between $500,000,001 and $1 billion. It lists estimated liabilities of between $100,000,001 and $500 million, showing it has more assets than liabilities.
The police report filed regarding Wasendorf Sr's suicide attempt stated a note was found on the scene indicating that account discrepancies at PFG may have been behind the suicide attempt.
A report sent out to PFG customers on Wednesday stated: "PFGBEST's clearing FCM continues to liquidate open positions. We are still processing for the trade date of Tuesday, July 10, and will send July 10 statements out as soon as processing is complete. We will update you as any new procedures are stipulated and with any further information as it becomes available."
Industry reaction
The reaction from the industry has been shock and dismay.
Attain noted in a blog that swift, decisive action is necessary to keep this travesty from becoming the final nail in the coffin of a marketplace that serves as a heartbeat of our global economy.
To combat a potential exodus of customers several FCMs has posted letters to customers trying to allay their fears that money is not safe in futures.
Dennis Dorman, president and CEO of Dorman trading, wrote, "The MF Global situation shocked all of us, and now we have what appears to be a similar situation with PFG. The damage to our industry may take years to repair. I want to assure you that what transpired at these firms will not happen at Dorman Trading.
R.J. O'Brien chairman and CEO Gerry Corcoran wrote, "We at R.J. O'Brien (RJO) recognize that you may have questions about how we safeguard your assets and ensure the financial stability of our firm. I assure you that we remain committed to earning your business and confidence day after day."
The letter includes a list of bullet points detailing due diligence procedures and distinguishing RJO from some of the policies that led to problems at MF Global and PFG.
Rosenthal Collins Group also attempted to provide reassurance and included a chart detailing how it invested customer funds and a link to its 2011 Audited Financial Statements.

Little Bride | Leslaw Dobrucki
Poland | 2010 | 14 min.
There is about 2.5 million Turkish minority members in Germany. Every year there is at least a dozen of Turkish women beaten to death by their husbands or other family members. The actual scale of those crimes in Germany, where law and order are so highly val ued, is unknown — according to the official data, in Turkey there are committed more than 300 so-called honor killings annually and 40% of wives are violence victims. A Turkish girl was sent to Germany and forced to marry when she was 13 years old. Soon after, her hell has begun; she was beaten and abused in different ways. After several years she managed to run away; she has been hiding until now – only because of that she is able to tell us her life story.
Osadné | Marko Škop
Slovakia | 2009 | 65 min.

carseat was very difficult to install espesh the harness adjusting...its safe and sturdy...but my 2 and half year old seems far too big for it ...altho he is only 13kg only!!alittle disappointed in my buy...as i spent more money ths time for my child to be confy...but he isnt...hes alwys stiff and cant move in it either...its too small..nt happy
I did a 2000 miles travel with my son, and we stop lots of times for the safety and health of the baby, but i never complined about it as he was doing in little travels with the other carseat that we have.
This car seat is great value. I brought one for my son and one for my inlaws car for him. It is very sturdy and the padding is very thick and great quality. It was also very easy to install
Finally managed to find a car seat to grow with my daughter that I feel confident will keep her safe. The straps are easy to adjust once u have got the hang of them. Having just moved up from a newborn seat I love being able to see my daughter at a quick glance.
Fab car seat, already have one for my eldest so knew it was a good safe seat. Made sense to buy another!

Surgical Menopause
The decision to undergo prophylactic removal of the ovaries and tubes to lower the risk for cancer is a difficult and personal one.
Women who undergo oophorectomy prior to natural menopause will experience menopause from the surgery. Menopausal symptoms and the experience varies from woman to woman. Further, some of the consequences of menopause are more serious than others. Some women find hormone supplementation alleviates their menopausal symptoms. However, research on hormone replacement is inconclusive regarding the benefits and risks to menopausal women. Because much of the research has been conducted on women who experienced natural menopause, the applicability to women experiencing early surgical menopause is uncertain. It is important for each woman to discuss menopausal symptoms with their doctor and to weigh the potential benefits and relief from hormone replacement vs. their individual risks from hormone replacement or other menopausal treatments.
Menopausal side effects
Different women experience menopausal side-effects to differing degrees. Some of the side effects reported by women include:
- hot flashes
- vaginal dryness
- decreased libido or other sexual side effects
- sleep disturbance
- memory changes
- mood changes
- fatigue
- weight gain
- urinary incontinence
Some of these side effects can be alleviated or resolved with medications, or improved with supplements. It is important to note that medications and supplements can have their own risks and side effects. For some individuals, low-dose hormone therapy may be an option for addressing medical or quality-of-life issues not resolved any other way.
Research of hormone replacement therapy in premenopausal women with BRCA mutations who have not had breast cancer but had oophorectomy has been limited. One study which examined short-term hormone replacement after oophorectomy in BRCA carriers indicates that prophylactic oophorectomy prior to age 50 substantially lowers the risk for breast cancer. The breast cancer risk reduction was similar in women who took hormones for up to three years and women who did not take hormones post-oophorectomy. The long term effects of hormone replacement after oophorectomy are unclear at this time.
Types of hormone replacement
A woman's body can make various types of estrogen, as well as progesterone, testosterone, and other hormones. Several hormone replacement options are available for women with surgical menopause containing varying amounts of these hormones.
Hormones may be categorized by the type of hormones contained in the preparation, how the hormones are delivered to the body, and how the preparation is made. For some women the choice of hormones depends on their symptoms, for example, a woman experiencing vaginal dryness, may find an estrogen-releasing device called a vaginal estrogen ring helpful. The ring works by providing estrogen to the vaginal walls and minimizing absorption into the body. For women who retain their uterus, preparations containing progesterone are chosen to protect against uterine cancer risk.
HRT vs. ERT
For high-risk women, oophorectomy brings two primary benefits when performed prior to menopause: reduction of ovarian cancer risk and reduction of breast cancer risk. It may seem contrary for high-risk women to receive hormones after removing their ovaries to lower their risk for breast cancer. However, hormone levels received through medication is generally less than what is normally produced by the ovaries during the premenopausal years. It isn't entirely clear what effect estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) or combined estrogen-progestin therapy (HRT) might have on cancer risk, particularly in high-risk women or breast cancer survivors. The multi-institutional PROSE study followed premenopausal women who carry a BRCA mutation for 3 1/2 years. Women who elected risk-reducing salpingo- oophorectomy (removal of ovaries and tubes) had a substantial decrease in breast cancer risk. Hormone replacement after oophorectomy didn't significantly change the breast cancer risk in the women in this study. It is important for women to discuss the risk of hormone replacement with their healthcare team to make an informed decision.
HRT are preparations of estrogen combined with progesterone. The progesterone protects against uterine cancer and is generally prescribed for women who are postmenopausal but still have their uterus. ERT are estrogen-only preparations appropriate for postmenopausal women who have had hysterectomies. Because they have no uterus, these women have no risk of uterine cancer and therefore don't require progesterone.
The Women's Health Initiative is a large, randomized study for hormone replacement after menopause. It reviewed women who took HRT, ERT or a placebo after natural menopause. It is important to remember that this study did not look at women with BRCA mutations or premenopausal women who experienced surgical menopause. The study demonstrated that HRT supplementation (estrogen plus progesterone) increased the risk for breast cancer in women who went through natural menopause. The study concluded, however, that ERT supplementation (estrogen alone) does not appear to raise the risk for breast cancer in this population. The study did not specifically consider women who underwent surgical menopause due to risk-reducing oophorectomy, so its applicability to the high-risk population who undergo early menopause is uncertain.
Bio-identical hormones
Some attention has been given to whether certain hormone preparations are safer or more effective than others. "Bio-identical" hormones are hormone replacement preparations that are chemically identical to the hormones produced in the body; whether they originate in animals, plants, or are synthetic, they cannot be distinguished from the body's own hormones. There is currently no conclusive evidence that "bio-identical" hormones are safer than other preparations.
Some physicians describe specially-made hormone compounds prepared by pharmacists as "bio-identical." Compounded hormone replacement is described in more detail below.
Commercial vs. compounded hormone preparations
Certain hormone preparations, (including some bio-identical compounds), have been tested by the FDA and are available commercially by prescription. Other "compounded" hormone preparations contain individualized combinations of different hormones and are prepared on an individual basis by pharmacists. Some physicians feel these "compounded" hormones are safer than commercial preparations. However, this has not been demonstrated by scientific research. There may be risks associated with compounded hormones: they are neither tested nor approved by the FDA and are unregulated. Compounded preparation methods vary from one pharmacist to another, and from one pharmacy to another, so compounds may not be consistent. Some custom-compounded preparations are not covered by insurance plans. Custom-compounded hormones may provide certain benefits, allowing individualized doses and mixtures of different hormones unavailable in commercial products. Anecdotally, some women posting on the FORCE message board reported they found pharmacist-compounded hormone preparations relieved their menopausal symptoms more effectively than commercially available preparations. A list of hormone replacement therapy products was published in a 2001 International Journal of Pharmaceutical Compounding.
Some physicians follow patients who use these compounds by testing their saliva for hormone levels. However the reliability of these tests and optimal saliva hormone levels have not been established.
One study of previous research which compared hormone types determined the conclusions drawn were compromised because the research efforts were too small or had design flaws. The study's authors suggested there was not enough evidence to recommend bio-identical hormones over conventional hormones.
The North American Menopause Society (NAMS), a professional organization devoted to promoting women's health and quality of life through an understanding of menopause, published a position statement on compounded hormone replacement. The NAMS does not recommend custom-compounded products over well-tested, government-approved products for the majority of women. Nor does the Society recommend saliva testing to determine hormone levels.
It is important for women who have undergone surgical menopause or are considering prophylactic oophorectomy to discuss menopausal symptoms and management with their healthcare team. The menopause experience is individual. Response to hormone replacement appears to be individual as well.
Osteopenia and osteoporosis
Osteopenia refers to loss of bone density. Osteoporosis is a more serious loss of bone density which weakens the bones. Some degree of bone thinning occurs as a natural part of the aging process. Significant weakening of the bones, however, puts a person at increased risk for fractures (broken bones). Loss of estrogen through natural or surgical menopause can lead to increased weakening of the bones.
A bone density test can determine whether a person's bones are weakened or are of normal density. Health care providers categorize a person's bone density as "normal," "osteopenia," or "osteoporosis," as compared to others of the same age and gender. Health care providers often recommend a baseline bone density test before prophylactic oophorectomy or soon after and then on an annual or semi-annual basis after menopause.
Hormonal and nonhormonal medications can lower the risk for fractures due to loss of bone density. These medications may have side effects. Some, like hormones, may raise the risk for other cancers. Women with osteopenia or osteoporosis associated with menopause should be followed by endocrinologists or other health care professionals who are trained in managing menopausal symptoms. It is important for each woman to weigh the potential benefits and relief from hormone replacement vs. their individual risk for cancer or other risks associated with hormone replacement.
Weight-bearing or resistance exercise may lower the risk for osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. However, it is important to discuss exercise with your physician before starting any exercise routine. It is worthwhile to consult with a licensed physical therapist to assure that your exercise routine is safe and appropriate. Experts recommend post-menopausal women receive 1200 milligrams of calcium per day, either through their diet or through supplementation.
Hot flashes
Studies show hormones and certain non hormonal medications—antidepressants belonging to a class of drugs called selective seratonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), for instance—may relieve some menopausal side effects such as hot flashes. One small randomized trial found venlafaxine (Effexor) alleviated hot flashes in postmenopausal women compared to a placebo. Another study found fluoxetine (Prozac) lowered the frequency of hot flashes more effectively than placebo in post menopausal women. Research on the effectiveness and safety of supplements such as soy or black cohosh has been inconclusive.
Products such as handheld fans and "chillows," which cool the body temperature, have been helpful for some women who experience hot-flashes.
Decreased libido is often associated with menopause. Hormonal and nonhormonal options are available for improving libido in women who are surgically menopausal. Some physicians recommend the addition of testosterone replacement for women who have loss of libido with menopause that isn't alleviated by ERT or HRT alone. One short randomized, prospective study found testosterone supplementation improves libido in women who experienced loss of libido due to oophorectomy. There is conflicting data, however, about the safety of testosterone and whether it may increase the risk for breast cancer.
A small preliminary study looked at the effects of the antidepressant bupropion (Welbutrin) on the libido of individuals who were not clinically depressed. The study suggested bupropion improved sexual arousal, overall sexual satisfaction, and satisfaction with intensity of orgasm when compared to placebo. However, this study was not specific to high-risk women who experienced surgical menopause.
Sleep disturbances
Some women report disruption in sleep patterns associated with menopause. Sleep disturbances may also cause menopause-related fatigue. One small randomized study compared insomnia in peri- and postmenopausal women who used the sleep aid zolpidem (Ambien) compared with those who took a placebo. Women who took zolpidem reported improved sleep over those who took a placebo.
Specialized sleep disorder clinics can sometimes assist with sleep disruptions associated with menopause.

Remember Me
Carolyn Shipp (right) speaks with Pat McGowan, the man who encouraged her to apply for a job at the Bank of Yazoo City 45 years ago, during a retirement ceremony held in her honor last Friday at BYC.
Jamie Patterson Yazoo County students Hannah Ross (left) and Kelsey Anderson played the part of injured students during a training exercise designed to prepare local emergency responders for a situation involving a school shooting. More photos from the drill appear on page 14.
CarterBy JAMIE PATTERSONManaging EditorUntil the time she retired, Mrs. Henrine Carter probably never met a student she didn't know. If she didn't know a student, then there was a pretty good chance that she knew their family. With 50 years of teaching under her belt, Mrs. Carter saw generations of Yazooans enter into her classroom. And she was the type of teacher who was never ready to see them go. From 1931 until 1981, Mrs. Carter served the community she loved by educating thousands of children. With a career that spanned over two decades, many teachers would be ready to retire and take it easy. But Mrs. Carter decided to take a different route and continue her profession until she was 67 years old.-------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
By JAMIE PATTERSONManaging EditorA Yazoo City man said a mobile home was abandoned in the middle of his street last year, and he is ready to get it out of there. Cedric Gainwell appeared before the Board of Mayor and Aldermen this week with photographs of a unoccupied mobile home that was left parked on Bennett Street last June. Gainwell said he has contacted several officials but has seen no results.-------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
By JAMIE PATTERSONManaging EditorOne city alderman says it's time to bring in new jobs to local business districts, not more housing. During a discussion involving commercial districts at the Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting, Alderman Clifton Jones said he would not approve special exceptions for new houses along Jerry Clower Boulevard.-------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
