Last wishes: Classes to teach importance of planning will
By Linwood Outlaw III - Daily Staff Writer
EDINBURG -- It's the gigantic elephant in the room -- you know you have to talk about it sooner or later, but you often times avoid it.
It can be a sensitive and eerie subject, and young people simply don't feel an immediate urge to discuss it. Preparing a will or planning your own funeral aren't exactly tasks people approach with a lot of enthusiasm. But, doing so could prevent your loved ones from having to make tough choices under emotional duress. Not having a will could have serious consequences, like courts deciding how your estate will be distributed after your death.
Starting next month, the Shenandoah County Parks and Recreation Department will offer two information sessions geared toward people ages 55 and older and centered on the importance of having wills and making burial arrangements well in advance.
The classes are part of the department's "Your Last Wishes" program. The first class, to be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on April 16 at the old Edinburg Middle School at 508 Picadilly St., will provide information on living wills, donor agents, medical power of attorneys and emergency medical services.
The second class, which will begin at 7 p.m. on May 11 at the school, will discuss the cost of funerals, prepaid burials, and even tips for writing your own obituary. The classes are free, and people are being urged to register immediately as class space is limited.
"We actually ran this class last fall and we had a good response ... I think it's just important to get people to begin thinking about it. They don't have to sign their living wills that night. But, [at least] they'll have it," said Teresa Funkhouser, recreation services coordinator for the Parks and Recreation Department. "People don't always think that you can actually make your burial arrangements ahead of time so that when you pass on, you don't leave that burden on your family members to make that decision."
Nearly 60 percent of Americans do not have a will, according to a survey conducted by FindLaw.com, a popular Thomson Reuters Web site for legal information. Although more than half of Americans age 50 and older have a will, the numbers are significantly lower among young adults. Only a quarter of people between the ages of 25 and 34 have a will, compared to less than 10 percent of those ages 18 to 24, according to the survey.
Wills specify who will receive your assets and belongings after you pass away. Without one, a court determines who gets what, and who will care for your children if they are minors. In Virginia, your entire estate is typically awarded to your surviving spouse if you do not have a will. However, if you have surviving children or their descendants who are not biologically related to your spouse, they will likely divide two-thirds of your estate and your spouse will claim the remaining one-third, according to the Virginia State Bar.
Living wills, meanwhile, outline in advance your preference as to what kind of medical treatment you want to receive should you become terminally ill or permanently unconscious. Under certain conditions, according to FindLaw.com experts, a living will allows doctors to withhold or withdraw life support systems. If a patient does not have a living will, medical decisions are usually made by a spouse, guardian, health care agent or other family members. If family members and doctors cannot reach an agreement on such decisions, they can also be decided in court.
Participating in sessions like those being offered by the Parks and Recreation Department, or at least beginning the process of obtaining legal documents needed for proper estate planning, is key toward alleviating loved ones of the pressures of making difficult decisions should unforeseen circumstances occur, said Ruth Wakeman, a social worker with Shenandoah Memorial Hospital and an instructor for the "Your Last Wishes" course.
"It's a good idea. I mean, anyone ages 18 and older is not too young to begin doing that," Wakeman said. "It's always better to have it in writing so that you can have a chance to talk with your family so they know what your wishes are. It takes an awful load off families if they do know in advance what your wishes are. A lot of times, when families have to get together and decide things, they would not have necessarily chosen what the person would have wanted."
People must make sure their wills meet specific legal requirements, which could vary depending on which state you live in. "State by state, you need to be aware. Do they meet Virginia standards is the question. Plus, wills really should be notarized," Wakeman said.
Additionally, living wills should specify things such as whether you want doctors to perform sufficient life-saving measures or if you want pain medication. The original copy of a will should always be kept in a safe place, Wakeman said. If state law permits, people can request to sign several copies, though they must remember to destroy all originals and copies should they make any changes to the document, according to FindLaw.com. Wills may also have to be updated should you move to another state with different requirements.
The key, Wakeman says, is good communication.
"It's important to have good family discussions. I can't stress that often enough," she said.

Obviously the whole "Foam" thing was a ruse to get Ryan Pulock a home game. A sop for the fans who suffered all year. (Or something.)

Completely different goaltending tandem for the Pack this week, which could affect things.

Hartford Pregame
John Persson's on for warmup at least; he and Brett Gallant split a spot, but otherwise the lineup looks similar to last night's, with a defense tweak.

Big Mac returns to SoCal as Dodgers hitting coach
Wednesday - 11/7/2012, 8:44pm EST
By BETH HARRIS
AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Mark McGwire is coming home as hitting coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers, lured by the chance to spend more time with his wife and five young children.
He was hired Wednesday to replace Dave Hansen and improve an offense that struggled last season when All-Star slugger Matt Kemp was hobbled by injuries. The Dodgers were 13th in the National League in runs scored and RBIs and 15th in home runs.
"It's the first time in my baseball career I have an opportunity to live at home and work at home," McGwire said on a teleconference. "To do what I love, still be in the game of baseball and to be at home, it just fit perfectly."
McGwire spent the past three seasons in the same job with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he starred during parts of his 16-year major league career. During McGwire's tenure, the Cardinals led the National League in batting average (.269) and on-base percentage (.337), ranked second in runs (2,263) and fourth in slugging percentage (.416).
He worked with All-Star sluggers Carlos Beltran, Lance Berkman, Matt Holliday and Albert Pujols, while helping develop 2011World Series MVP David Freese.
But as much as he enjoyed the job and the team's success, McGwire said last season "was probably one of the hardest on me family-wise."
His two sons, ages 9 and 10, have started playing Little League, and he and his wife, Stephanie, have 2-year-old triplet daughters. McGwire also has a 25-year-old son from a previous marriage. The couple lives in Orange County.
"Being away from the girls, it took a little bit for them to realize Daddy was back a couple weeks ago," he said, adding that he wasn't certain he would have returned to St. Louis if the Dodgers hadn't pursued him.
Once they did, he turned down the Cardinals' contract extension and started phoning the team's players and staff to say goodbye.
"It was very, very hard to call everybody," he said.
McGwire is from the Los Angeles suburb of Pomona. He played college baseball at Southern California and was a member of Oakland's 1989 World Series champion team.
"I grew up a Dodger fan," he said.
McGwire is a 12-time All-Star who in winter 2010 ended years of denials and a self-imposed exile from the sport by admitting he took performance-enhancing drugs during his career, including when he broke Roger Maris' record of 61 home runs with 70 long balls in 1998. He retired in 2001 with 583 career homers, ranking 10th on the all-time list.
"It's a mistake that I've made, I've owned up to it, I've moved on," he said. "That's something I have to live with the rest of my life."
There was little public outcry when McGwire returned to the Cardinals as hitting coach, and Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said he can live with McGwire's past.
"He's owned up to making a mistake, but there's so many other great qualities about him that you forgive the mistake," he said. "That he apologized is very important."
McGwire will be working with an accomplished group of hitters on the Dodgers, including All-Stars Kemp, Andre Ethier, Hanley Ramirez and Adrian Gonzalez.
"I absolutely love the job of being a hitting coach," he said. "I love teaching and being around the game of baseball."
Colletti said he sought McGwire partly after seeing how well-prepared the Cardinals' hitters were, including their ability to make in-game adjustments.
"We kept thinking about guys that had had success both with veteran players and also young players. We kept coming back to Mark," he said. "We benefited from Mark's love of his young family and where he resides. We're very privileged and thrilled to have a person of this quality be our hitting coach."
Colletti said the Dodgers would hire an assistant hitting coach later this week.
McGwire said he has no immediate managerial aspirations.
"But I would never rule it out," he said. "Right now I'm having way too much fun working with the hitters."

The Forgotten Waltzby Anne Enright
2012 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Forgotten Waltz is a memory of desire: a recollection of the bewildering speed of attraction, the irreparable slip into longing, that reads with breathtaking immediacy. In Terenure, a pleasant suburb of Dublin, in the winter of 2009, it has snowed. A woman recalls the trail of lust and happenstance that brought her to fall for the love of her life. As the city outside comes to a halt, she remembers the days of their affair in one hotel room or another: long afternoons made blank by bliss and denial. Now, as the silent streets and the stillness and vertigo of the falling snow make the day luminous and full of possibility, she awaits the arrival on her doorstep of his fragile, twelve-year-old daughter, Evie. In The Forgotten Waltz, Enright is at the height of her powers. This is Anne Enright's tour de force, a novel of intelligence, passion, and real distinction.
"A new, unapologetic kind of adultery novel. Narrated by the proverbial other woman — Gina Moynihan, a sharp, sexy, darkly funny thirtysomething IT worker — The Forgotten Waltz charts an extramarital affair from first encounter to arranged, settled, everyday domesticity....This novel's beauty lies in Enright's spare, poetic, off-kilter prose — at once heartbreaking and subversively funny. It's built of startling little surprises and one fresh sentence after another. Enright captures the heady eroticism of an extramarital affair and the incendiary egomania that accompanies secret passion: For all their utter ordinariness, Sean and Gina feel like the greatest lovers who've ever lived." Elle
"A gorgeous critique of Ireland as the Celtic Tiger draws its dying breaths... [A] masterful and deeply satisfying novel." Library Journal (Starred Review)
"This stunning novel by a Booker Prize winner . . . Offers up its brilliance by way of astonishingly effective storytelling." Booklist (Starred Review)
About the Author
Anne Enright's most recent novel was the international bestseller The Gathering, which won the 2007 Man Booker Prize. She lives in Dublin, Ireland.

Got the app primarily for the Listen Later function so I can listen to podcasts offline. This apparently has a mind of its own and only downloads Listen Later podcasts at random, sometimes days after you put it into the LL folder. Then, one day all of a sudden it will start downloading the LL shows. No way to manually start the download process. Good when it works though.

Tragic incidents and the often-horrifying accompanying details were once covered daily through newspapers, the morning and evening news, and AM radio (which I'm not sure even exists anymore). News updates occur via the internet far more rapidly nowadays; however, there seems to be a certain trade-off that has passed in terms of quality, whether it be accuracy, scope, or spin.
The frequency of news updates can really engage a reader, can personalize a tragedy … but there is a dark underbelly sometimes, when things aren't exactly what they seem.
Take the recent death of 20-year-old Krista Dittmeyer, a single mother from Maine.
On a Saturday night in April, Dittmeyer's car was found abandoned, flashers on, in the parking lot of a ski resort. Her 14-month-old daughter, Aliyah, was unharmed in her carseat, but there …

INDIANAPOLIS | House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, may take the extraordinary step of replacing members on the House Judiciary Committee to ensure the marriage amendment wins committee approval and gets a vote by the full House.
"I've said one person shouldn't make the decision; we've got to figure out if a couple people ought to make the decision for all Hoosiers," Bosma said. "The speaker, of course, has the power to move bills and has complete autonomy over committee membership."
The rules of the Republican-controlled Indiana House authorize the speaker to change a committee's membership at any time, though Bosma said he's never done it before to advance legislation, and he only could recall seeing it done once during his 28 years in the House.
"Our rules clearly provide for it," Bosma said. "Members serve at the pleasure of the speaker."
At least three of the nine Republicans on the Judiciary Committee are believed to be considering voting with the four committee Democrats against the marriage amendment, which would kill it.
State Rep. Greg Steuerwald, R-Avon, the committee chairman, did not hold a vote as expected Monday following nearly four hours of expert and public testimony on the issue.
The earliest the committee can meet again is Wednesday. The deadline for House committee action is Jan. 28.
House Joint Resolution 3 would add the state's existing ban on gay marriage to the Indiana Constitution along with a sentence declaring, "A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized."
A companion measure, House Bill 1153, is intended to clarify that the second sentence does not prohibit businesses from providing benefits to their employees' same-sex partners or restrict equal access to public places. However, legal experts disagree on whether courts will take notice of that legislative intent.
If the proposed amendment is approved this year by the Republican-controlled General Assembly, as it was in 2011, Hoosier voters will decide at the Nov. 4 general election whether to ratify or reject adding the amendment to the state Constitution.
Bosma said GOP polling shows four out of five Hoosiers want a chance to vote on the amendment, and he's determined to give it to them.

New York, N.Y. (WKBW ) - A celebratory dance by Buffalo Bills Stevie Johnson lead to a big blow for the team.
Johnson danced and pretended to shoot himself in the leg, making fun of Jets' receiver Plaxico Burress who spent time in prison on an illegal weapons charge after accidentally shooting himself in the leg at a New York nightclub three years ago.
These actions cost the Buffalo bills 15 yards for excessive celebration and person foul penalty. This then lead to the Jets' touchdown, which tied the game at 14. Many said this even cost Buffalo the game.
Some players, including Ryan Fitzpatrick, didn't even see the dance until they watched the media coverage. Johnson apologized for his actions.
"Having fun, having fun that's it and part of having fun ended up being a penalty and a touchdown for the jets. They ended up getting 14 and tying it up. We should be up seven but a stupid decision by myself led to a win by the jets and that's how I see it."
Burress himself said that he doesn't have a comment about he situation. He said that he is a fan of Johnson and feels he is "a great young talent".

This video is nuts -- an Indiana toddler took the mic at his church recently, and sang a hate-filled anti-gay song ... with the lyrics, "Ain't no homos gonna make it to heaven" ... and the crowd went WILD.
The video was reportedly recorded at the Apostolic Truth Tabernacle in Greensburg, Indiana -- featuring a young boy on the altar, barely old enough to walk, singing a song he was obviously spoon fed.
It's pretty hard to make out the words -- so here are the lyrics ...
"The Bible's right, somebody's wrong.
The Bible's right, somebody's wrong.
Romans one, twenty six and twenty seven;
Ain't no homos gonna make it to Heaven."
The congregation erupts in thunderous applause after the song.
FYI, here's Romans 1:26-27 -- "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."
It's the latest video to hit the web showing rampant homophobia in America's churches -- starting with a North Carolina pastor advocating beating the gay out of your child ... and another NC pastor talking about fencing up gay people and letting them die out.
God i hope this kid grows up singing in musicals
It's stuff like this that makes me ashamed to be a Christian. Jesus made it clear that the most important thing was to love one another...he didn't say unless..... All these parents are doing is promoting hate and prejudice. What are people so afraid of about gay people? Let them live their lives how they choose (civil rights) and let God be their judge. Judge not lest ye be judged!!!
the root of all evil is religion. Look through history most of the wars have religious ties.
What are they teaching children!! this made me sick!! How dare they!! Lord help those children if they or any one they know is gay!! Grow up NC...never been so embarrased to live in this state!!
Being gay is not a lifestyle, being a bigot is. People are born gay. Did you know that children, age 6-8 often experiment with their same gender children? Children don't experiment with anti-gay song singing.
did anyone read the first verse? "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts." maybe i'm wrong but it sounds to me that God made them gay...??? in any case, i completely believe in freedom of speech, UNLESS, it is hurting someone. These poor kids are being taught the wrong message. i thought christians were tolerant, forgiving, and blah blah blah.. i personally believe that gay, straight, bi, transgender, is a beautiful think and thats not a reason to go to "hell". molesting, killing or any crime against an innocent child is worth going to hell. not being gay, sorry, but i dont see why being gay is such a big deal. who really cares as long as people are happy.
disturbing. wtf is wrong with these adults promoting and applauding hatred.
Just kill the kid now, before he has a chance to breed. These are not the kind of people we need in this country, we already have enough of them.
what a pity people are teaching this to their children. just goes to show how small minded and ingorant they are. the ones that are singing this song will never go to heaven. they will burn in hell with the rest of the kkk.
God doesn't judge! I had to turn off the clip because it made me sick to my stomach to watch! America, there's your answer: Rednecks do live everywhere! Putting on your church clothes and showing up every Sunday doesn't make you one of God's people and this video proves it! Sit the hell down! IGGNORANCE BREADS IGGNORANCE!
Stupid ******s
Quite typical really. Uneducated blacks teaching hate and fear to their children. Not really surprising it came from the 'south' ya'lllll. If they picked more cotton and did less of that 'thinkun' these ghetto track blacks would be better off.
Very sad that these things happen to malign a Christian faith that, on whole, does so much good in the world.
Kids say the darn'dest thing
...I know which two little boys have been watching glee too much...but someone should tell them now that their pitch is a little off.
BTW I cant wait to see them on Ru Pauls Drag Race...but I hope they dont have to sing for their life...cause they would go home :(
Keep it up you two little closeted homos! No im joking there cute when there little...awww
Parenting fail, these families should be ashamed of themselves. Say if one of these kids realizes they are gay when they grow older. The phycological torment will destroy them. The parents will be left to blame. Shame on you !

But, yeah. I agree on everything except one thing. If spending time on stuff that doesn't matter doesn't worry you... Well, it should.
Anyway yes, most fairytales, and a whole lot of other stories as well, center around something bad happening, and then the characters overcome their troubles somehow and get a good ending. That doesn't mean that they all have the same meaning. The ugly duckling, specifically, have its main character being born to a seemingly bad life - it is completely out of his control, he is a freakish misfit. Then he becomes an outcast. Then by some complete deus ex machina he is welcomed into a group of very beautiful and successful people (the swans). This is definitely not the same as in tales where the persistent effort, or even whimsical choice, of the involved characters overcome hardships - such as in Snow White or most of the others you mention - both the troubles and its solution are predetermined. Of course, a duck mother can't lay swan eggs. That's why the story is about a renegade misfit's wish for a predetermined deus ex machina to save him from his situation - a person without hope wouldn't hope for himself, or anyone else, to save him, so that's all that's left.
It's really a very sad story, but then again it's written by a Danish guy.
Are you serious about that last part. I looked on Amazon and they cost like $30 together. Probably you will have some stories twice if you buy that.
They also have the entire 1001 Nights for $82 lol

I think you need to balance your work with your happy moments. I have a good job, I am investing in my retirement, I have health insurance. If I have a day where I feel like napping on and off most of the day (like I did on Sunday) and that makes me happy for the day, then I'm going to do it. I try not to worry too much about the future, even though, like most people, I do sometimes worry about my dismal romantic state. But it could be worse, that I know.

New Year's Resolution: Redeem the Time
- Tuesday, January 03, 2006
Bob Dylan sang passionately, "The times they are a-changin'." He was right socially, and this year, he was right literally as there was a leap second this past New Year's Eve. Atomic clocks that keep the world's time were held back to allow for an extra second this year to adjust for irregularities in the earth's rotation. It is not often that we get time back, even if only a second, and even if only in our minds. That is why the Scriptures tell us to redeem the time. While that phrase has many applications, in the Colossian context, it meant something very specific. We would do well to heed Paul's words here and make this a primary New Year's resolution.
In Col. 4:5, Paul transitions to exhortation in regard to foundational principles concerning how Christians are to act toward those outside the faith. He is no doubt thinking of such by virtue of his previous prayer request (2-4) with particular reference to his speaking the gospel as he ought. Thus, Christians are to "Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time."
The word "walk" refers to lifestyle and/or action. Christians are to live their lives in a certain way according to Paul. "Wisdom" refers to the proper application of biblical and theological knowledge to the heart and/or to the everyday affairs of life. "Those who are outside," as noted, refers to those who are outside of Christ. Thus, Christians are to live their lives in such a way that they are acting wisely toward those who don't know Christ. They are to conduct themselves wisely toward the lost.
Those who are outside of Christ often misunderstand Christians, the true nature of the gospel message, and the Christian stance concerning morality, social issues, and a myriad of other dynamics. In the early church for example, Christians were viewed as being disrespectful to the state because they would not worship Caesar; as homosexuals because they loved the brethren; as cannibals because they ate and drank the body and blood of Christ; as social elitists because they would not go to sporting events; and immoral because they often met behind closed doors.
No doubt Christians are misunderstood today in that they are viewed as bigoted because they say that homosexuality is sin; as judgmental because they condemn sin and love holiness; oppressive because they oppose abortion among other things; and intolerant because they claim that Christ is the sole, sufficient Savior. Christians must therefore understand the culture in which they find themselves and act wisely toward those who are saturated in that culture and its concomitant ideas. Knowing how pagans think, to what they object in Christianity, and responding accordingly, is walking wisely toward those who are outside.
At the same time, Christians are often obnoxious or insensitive when they witness. Such should not be the case. The gospel in itself, if given accurately, is offensive. Christians must never add to that offense with the offense of their personality or sin. Such sin could include arrogance, hypocrisy, impatience, or failure to explain the gospel adequately. Individuals who simply drop gospel or biblical bombshells, especially with a pejorative attitude, do more harm than good for the kingdom, gospel advance, and the Name of Christ. Calling people names, throwing out radical statements with no consideration for the knowledge of one's audience, or attempting to win religious argument at all cost are some of the things that Christians must avoid if they are to live in accordance with what Paul lays down here.

Let this stat sink in: 98% of lamp's energy goes to lighting the street instead of the night sky.
Streetlights illuminate the night, shining upon roadways and sidewalks across the world, but these ubiquitous elements of the urban environment are notoriously inefficient and major contributors to light pollution that washes out the night sky. Recent innovations in light emitting diodes (LEDs) have improved the energy efficiency of streetlights, but, until now, their glow still wastefully radiated beyond the intended area.
A team of researchers from Taiwan and Mexico has developed a new lighting system design that harnesses high-efficiency LEDs and ensures they shine only where they're needed, sparing surrounding homes and the evening sky from unwanted illumination. The team reported their findings today in the Optical Society's (OSA) open-access journal Optics Express.
A unique feature of the new LED system is its adaptability to different street lamp layouts, "to all kinds of streets and roads, providing a uniform illumination with high energy efficiency," says co-author Ching-Cherng Sun of National Central University in Taiwan. For example, some modern lamps that line a thoroughfare or suburban sidewalk lean into the middle of the road, lighting the street from above.
But more often, lamps are posted to one side of a street, or alternating in a "zig-zag" pattern from one side to the other – a layout that may be more efficient for roads with high traffic flow. The new design provides flexibility to be used for different illumination requests while maintaining a high efficiency, Sun says.
The proposed lamp is based on a novel three-part lighting fixture. The first part contains a cluster of LEDs, each of which is fitted with a special lens, called a Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens, that focuses the light so the rays are parallel to one another instead of intersecting—a process called collimation. These lens-covered LEDs are mounted inside a reflecting cavity, which "recycles" the light and ensures that as much of it as possible is used to illuminate the target.
Finally, as the light leaves the lamp it passes through a diffuser or filter that cuts down on unwanted glare. The combination of collimation and filtering also allows researchers to control the beam's shape: the present design yields a rectangular light pattern ideally suited for street lighting, the researchers say.
The team tested their design's performance by analyzing how little the beam would spread as it hit its target—a road or sidewalk 10 meters or more away from the source of the light. They quantified the lamp's performance using something called optical utilization factor (OUF), a number that describes the relationship between the flow rate of light at the target and the flow rate of light coming directly out of the LEDs.
Higher OUF indicates better performance. Simulations show that the new design achieves an OUF of 51 to 81 percent, greatly outperforming a recent "excellent" design that reached 45 percent. Furthermore, the proposed streetlamp meets high expectations for power and brightness. And light pollution is also significantly reduced: for conventional street lamps, up to a fifth of their total energy is directed horizontally or upward into the sky. The best LED streetlamps reduce this to a tenth of their total energy. In the new model, just 2 percent of the lamp's total energy would contribute to light pollution.
In addition to cutting light pollution and glare, the new model could also save energy. "A general LED street light could reduce power consumption by 40 to 60 percent," Sun says; the increased efficiency of the proposed design would likely save an additional 10 to 50 percent. Furthermore, he adds, the module would be simple to fabricate, since it comprises just four parts, including a type of LED bulb commonly used in the lighting industry.
Sun's team expects to finish a prototype of their design in the next 3 to 6 months, and to begin practical installations of the new street lamp as early as next year.

How was your experience?
I have seen this musical many times at both the community theatre and rep theatre level and this was the best one I have ever seen. The set was outstanding and the choreography top rate for an "off-off-Broadway" production. Some players were stronger than others but the featured solos, especially the women, were excellent.

A Modern City with Old Traditions
Tip: Whenever entering stores or businesses or when you make eye contact with people, it's nice to greet them by saying, "Buenos dias," (which is good morning) in the morning and "Buenas tardes," (good afternoon) in the afternoon.

A dish that I've yet to try is something called "Birria," which is a hearty stew made of goat's meat, tomato sauce and other spices.
It is topped with fresh, chopped onions, a sprinkle of lime and eaten with homemade, white corn tortillas. Is your mouth watering yet?
This special sandwich is topped with onions and refried beans and literally sits in a shallow pool of special tomato sauce and seasoning, hence the "drowned" name. This is best enjoyed with spoon in hand to scoop up some of that sauce.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is an amazing school from the teachers to the staff and principal and assistant principal. I feel that they truly care for the kids and it is evidenced by seeing how kids will come back to their teachers to say hello even AFTER leaving the school. PTA is awesome and is constantly helping keep costs down for field trips and events, parents participation is high because this is such a pleasant environment. The Principal is very involved, stops by the classrooms to read and interact with the kids, he writes a comment in every single report card! Mr. F -- you are awesome! We are leaving the school because we are moving out of the district, but we will still come back and visit. Mrs. Katsis, Mrs, Schlerf and Mrs. Gibbons ---you will never be forgotten. Thank you BRE for 4 amazing years!
Some of the teachers are biased toward children of color, as the first year my daughter received well below average grades from one teacher, but on her California State Tests that same year, she scored in the proficient range. The first day of school that same teacher asked her how she got into the school? This year she is receiving silver honor awards. I am now having issues this year with my other child. But we must deal with it, in order for them to receive a good education. Because, if it wasn't for the noted favoritism, the school would be fine.
Great School! Amazing staff! Amazing parents! Amazing Students! The best principal and and assistant principal!
Very Biased Teachers towards colored kids. Good school when it comes to education but the girls are always dressed up in fancy clothes and putting pressure on simple and studious kids and the teachers also support the kids who they know .
Butterfield Ranch is a terrific school. It has not been a year round school for several years now. The new principal is Rod Federwisch. We are so lucky to have Mr. Federwisch leading our school! Our PTA has always been very active and supportive. We have many awesome teachers. BRE is a school of choice so our student base is growing again. Students have an option to attend an after school STEM program this year. Having an onsite "Fun Club" (daycare) is a life saver for many working parents!
This school is great. My children are thriving here. The parents are all very involved and are approchable. The teachers love the students and the students love their teachers. Amongst my favorites are Ms. Wilder, Ms. Daley, Ms. Currie, Ms. Lacher, Ms. BC, Ms. White, Ms. Lacher and Ms. Voll. A lot of favorites, you say.....yep thats right, every teacher we have ever had has been a pleasure. The support staff (Brenda, Silvia and Michelle) and Mr. Hawkins, the principal are always there to help parents and knows most all of the students by name. And I just can't say enought about all of the hard work of the PTA---abosolutely tireless
Wonderful School! Parent involvement is what makes this school special. BRE offers music, gigi math program and so many other wonderful programs. The PTA does a great job of fundraising! Parents donate time and money, making this school stand out. The teachers really care about the students.
Excellent! Both my sons have attended BRE for their elementary education. All the teachers they have had take their teaching to heart. It can be seen through the relationships they have formed with my kids. All staff, including the principals are very involed and responsive to the children and parents needs and requests. Our family feels absolutely blessed to have attended BRE. All the teachers we've had have been great, but with Mrs. Schlerf- You've hit life's jackpot once you have her in your life. We will always love you Mrs. Schlerf!!
We love this school!! We can not say enough about the amazing teachers and staff. The parent involvement is off the charts. The community is warm and friendly, we feel very blessed to be apart of it! BRE is the best!
I've had both my children attend butterfield ranch and i love this school, the teachers are very involved with there students inside and outside of class, they have hight expectations of there teachers and students.They also offer programs for your children if they need speech,self esteem, and alot more. You always know how your child is doing and can always speak to the teachers with no problems..I love this school and my children do to.
Great school and wonderful staff!!!
Knowing that my child has not missed a class since first grade means this school is the best. I salute the teachers and volunteer parents for their contributions. The school program is great thru the leadership of Mr. Hawkins (principal). Go BRE!
Great school and discipline for the kids. Absolutely great
The school is well established and focused on utilizing the full breadth of its teachers' abilities to provide an excellent educational environment for the children.
We lost our leader she was great, but we have a great group of teachers, they are awesome, and the parents of this school are awesome. My sons go here and I feel they are very fortunate to do so, p.s. I am a teacher
My 2nd grader loves going to school and loves her teachers!Fantastic school with excellent teachers. Academically I can't praise the school enough and there is an abundance of extracurricular activities. The PTA is great and there are many fund raisers to help provider great field trips and assemblies for the kids!
Excellent teachers at BRE. My son is more motivated to learn than ever because of the creative lab ideas our hardworking teachers create. I have observed how much they care and work with each and every student in their classes. Teachers keep excellent contact with parents, to include helpful info they submit through GradeAlert; that really helps. ~Mrs. Julie Sanchez
Butterfield Ranch elementary has a strong academic program. Parent involvement is quite significant and that is a strength. There ought to be a program and strategy to confront bullying and unsavory teasing before it gets out of hand.
We are going on our fourth year here at Butterfield, and we could not say enough great things about this school! We love the environment, parent participation, and every teacher that my daughter has had. We are very lucky!
I put my son in Kindgergarten at Butterfield this year because he needs speech therapy and he could only get it from the district if he goes to school as he is almost 5. I was not planning on putting him in until next year. I have been so pleasantly surprised to see the level of care and concern the teachers have for their students. The speech teacher called me on the first day of school to tell me how he did. This is a great beginning formy son.
