By Jayna Smith Baileyville Police Chief Bob Fitzsimmoms, instructor of WCCC's Community Polic- ing class, recently organized a community service project with his students. This event was able to bring in $529 for the chosen cause, Greenland Point Center. According to Chief Fitzsim- mons, his WCCC students held a "jail and bail" at the college. For a small fee, students and staff could have a "warrant" issued. Bail was then set at the amount of the warrant. For those unable to make bail, 15 minutes inside a makeshift jail was required. Also available for an even smaller fee were get-out-of-jail cards. The amount raised by the students will be matched by Greenland Point Center for scholarships that allow many kids to attend its summer camps. Chief Fitzsimmons said, "I am proud of the work the class did and also of the participation of the students, staff and faculty of WCCC."

“Furious 7” is Entertainment at High Speed By Kaileigh Deacon I want to start this review by stating right up front that I have never watched a single “Fast and Furious” movie prior to this one. I have no experience with the franchise or what the movies entail besides a movie about cars and big name actors. I’ll admit that I went into the movie expecting a movie all about On Monday afternoon, April 13, 2015, twenty-three members of the Washington County Children’s Chorus cars, fights, and action scenes so my standard to say the least were presented two one-half hour sessions at Rose M. Gaffney Elementary School in Machias. Choristers from not all that high. It didn’t take long for this movie to make me Calais, Perry, Cherryfield, Addison, Beals, Lubec, Campobello Island, Machias, East Machias, Roque Bluffs and Marshfield participated. Coordinated by RMG Music Teacher Bonnie Atkinson, each session change my mind. I was pulled in to the movie quick and found a was observed by some 40 students. The presentation included the performance of several musical pieces lot more than I was expecting. and a video/power point narrative about the WCCChorus’ tour of France which took place in June, 2014. While the movie was certainly full of action, cars, and big name Check out www.washingtoncountychildrenschorus.net or find us on Facebook. (Submitted photo). actors there was also a fairly decent storyline underlying all of that. For a first timer to these movie, the storyline might be a bit HARDWARE • PLUMBING & HEATING • HOUSEWARES • PAINT • SPORTING GOODS confusing as there are numerous references to the previous movies UNIFORMS • ELECTRICAL • TROPHIES • PLAQUES CLOTHING FOOTWEAR and character and events from them. After a bit of background you are able to piece together the story. The story is that a rogue former British Special Operations agent Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) is out looking for revenge on Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family for putting Shaw’s brother in a coma. In order to switch from being the hunted to the hunter Toretto and his crew must help a less than forthcom- ing government agent named Mr. Nobody to stop a Somolian Annual Old Town Terrorist and rescue a hacker who’s developed a program that, in the wrong hands, can be very dangerous. Toretto and his team must find the God’s Eye program before the terrorists and turn it over to the government so they can use it to find Shaw. Nothing Canoe & Kayak Sale is ever easy and Shaw keeps popping up time and time again like a bad memory. While the story line “hurt my family and I’ll hurt yours” is a bit of a cliché for this kind of movie the movie is still quite enjoyable and will make for an excellent night of entertainment. There are moments in the movie that will make fans and followers of the movie series wince, gasp, and get emotional (all I figured out from the reactions of people around me). Unattached watchers, like myself, will find the movie enjoyable even if we aren’t privy to all the jokes and references. HUGE SELECTION OF KAYAKS AND CANOES! I also feel that I need to mention the clearly emotional tribute to the late Paul Walker who died while “Furious 7” was still GREAT PRICES ON filming. While walker had completed some filming for the movie he had not complete all his scenes. The film makers brought in ACCESSORIES! body doubles including Walker’s own brothers to finish out the film using CGI of Walker where it was necessary. The film pays tribute to Walker at the end in a very moving fashion. Some of PADDLES • LIFE JACKETS • ROOF RACKS
