I must say I am pretty much an outdoor person (when humidity slows down), and I was happy and a little jealous about what New York has to offer to its citizens. I have visited the state a few years ago, but with limited time my husband and I did what every tourist does. Meaning the Statue of Liberty. Rockefeller Center etc, etcetera. I think your idea about getting something done at the Mobile Cruise Terminal would be great. There is so much land and beauty in here and it’s so sad that there are no corporations or any type of investors willing to risk their money in this city. I am from Miami, and have lived in different areas of the country. I wish we had something like San Jose amusement park in San Francisco or the variety and fabu- lous parks in Gwinnett County, Georgia. I am soon to move back to Florida and when I come to visit I hope some of your ideas have become realities! Good luck! Norah Huaroto MPD sergeant terminated for misusing police databases BY ALYSON STOKES/REPORTER | [email protected] A 15-year veteran of the Mobile Police Department was terminated effective immediately after a Trial Board found him guilty of five major violations, Mobile Police Chief James Barber announced Sept. 12. Sgt. Michael Smith, who was most currently assigned as su- pervisor in Precinct Four, was charged with conduct unbecom- ing, misuse of position, failure to obey a direct order, biased based profiling and disobedience of orders, according to MPD spokeswoman Ashley Rains. Rains said all of these charges are major violations. On Wednesday, Sept. 3, the Trial Board convened for the pur- pose of hearing evidence of those major violations and made a unanimous decision to find Sgt. Smith guilty. The board recommended Smith be dismissed from service with MPD and Chief Barber and Mayor Sandy Stimpson con- curred with the findings of the board, according to Rains. Photo/MPD | Michael Smith “Sergeant Michael Smith was charged with a leadership posi- tion in this Department, in which he betrayed the public’s trust and confidence,” Barber said in a news release. “He has violated and tarnished the badge of his office.” When initially asked for more information related to the charges and Smith’s actions, Rains said, per Chief Barber, that Smith has a right to appeal at which time details would be discussed. On Sept. 15, Rains announced that Smith was dismissed by MPD for allegedly using local and state databases for non-law enforcement use “to obtain the personal information of black females.” According to Rains, Smith still has the right to appeal within 10 days. Smith served MPD for over 15 years, Rains said. 4 | LAGNIAPPE | September 18, 2014 - September 24, 2014 LAGNIAPPE | September 18, 2014 - September 24, 2014 | 5 BAY BRIEFS BB County soccer complex project gets assist from City Council BY DALE LIESCH/REPORTER | [email protected] he Mobile City Council on Tuesday going to have to do what it has to do.” approved funding the county soccer Stimpson warned councilors against rush- complex project with $1.5 million from ing to fund the soccer complex before more is $3 million in capital funds originally set known about it.

  • Music Notes Delta State University Department of Music Fall 2006 Volume 4, Issue 1
    Music Notes Delta State University Department of Music Fall 2006 Volume 4, Issue 1 Welcome to the 4th edition of the DSU Music Department Newsletter. Currently, in Northern Mississippi, we are experiencing the worst drought in six years. Even though the earth is parched, the thirst for music is great in the Delta. Our freshman theory classes have the largest enrollment in many years. Our traditional music degree programs remain strong, but we are also attracting new students for our sound recording technology degree. DSU is also pleased to welcome Tricia Walker as the new director of the Delta Music Institute. Dr. Shelley Collins, Assistant Professor of Flute, joined our department this fall, replacing Keith Pettway who retired after 26 years. She has enthusiastically tackled several different classes and is already recruiting flute students for next year. Dr. Collins, as well as any of our other studio teachers, would welcome a visit from former or prospective students. As we begin a very active year of recitals and concerts (please look at the Calendar of Events), I would like to draw special attention to Dr. Ed Bahr’s recital on October 17th. As some of you may know, this will be Dr. Bahr’s farewell recital as he will retire in May. Dr. Bahr has served our department for over 20 years and has helped to mold hundreds of students through his teaching and guidance. As always, the music faculty remains extremely productive, from chairing various committees, to performing around the country. Drs. Karen Fosheim and Mark Butler have just presented an adaptation of Prokoviev’s Peter and the Wolf to hundreds of school children in Greenville.

The conference honors each year a Tprominent Southern writer, and Larry Brown will be the focus of attention when the 14th annual conference meets on March 22–24, 2007. Brown was one of the South’s, and nation’s, most acclaimed younger writers, when he died November 24, 2004. The conference will provide the first literary occasion to gather critics, scholars, musicians, teachers, friends, and family to consider and celebrate Brown’s achievements. Brown was an especially well known figure around Oxford. Having grown up in Lafayette County, he studied writing at the University of Mississippi, taught here briefly, and had been a frequent participant in Center work. Brown was a legendary figure—the Oxford firefighter who served the community from 1973 to 1990, when he retired to work full time on his writing. He studied with Mississippi writer Ellen Douglas, and his wide reading and relentless work on his writing contributed to his prolific success. He published his first book, Facing the Music: Short Stories, in 1988. He wrote five novels, a second short-story collection, and two books of nonfiction. His last novel, A Miracle of Catfish, will be published by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill on March 20, just before the conference begins. Illustrating 2007 Oxford Conference for the Book materials is a Brown received the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Larry Brown portrait made by Tom Rankin in 1996.

BusH DEDICATED To MY SISTER FAN LOUISE RANDLETTE 1883-1939 With her cheerful happy nature she scattered sunshine and sowed the seed of her beautiful philosophy of living an2ong all who knew her .. Vll MOTTO OF '' THE .ANCIENT MAR IN ER'' "I can hardly believe that in the universe the invisible beings are more than the visible. But who shall reveal to us the nature of them all, the rank, the relationships, the distinguishing features and the offices of each? What is it they do? Where is it they dwell? Always about the knowledge of these wonders the mind of man has circled nor ever reached it." -Translated from the Latin of Buckner and used -by Coleridge . Vlll ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My sincere thanks go to all who have helped with this book. To Caroline McCall, for her generous assistance and encouragement during my explorations down highways and byways looking for ghosts. Research in any activity demands time and thought and energy but it has been fun working together. Many times the wee sma' hours have found us in close communion at our ghostly task, attempting to recapture the spirits of another day. Caroline, with her gifted touch, can transform a plain statement of facts into a poem.

  • KICKSTARTER MANUSCRIPT PREVIEW Part 4 Chapter Five: Antagonists It Is a Man’S Own Mind, Not His Enemy Or Foe, That Lures Him to Evil Ways
    KICKSTARTER MANUSCRIPT PREVIEW Part 4 Chapter Five: Antagonists It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways. —Gautama Buddha From the moment the Bargain is struck, Sin-Eaters face enemies from all sides. In the world of the living, necromancers and the eaters of the dead exploit and feast upon ghosts. In the world of the dead, Reapers and Kerberoi deceive and enslave them. Ideological differences between krewes spark bloody wars spread across both worlds. No matter their origin, they will all ensure that fighting for the dead is a perilous task. Reapers Some ghosts claim to be empowered by the Underworld, and that they serve its needs in return. Through the force of their Deathmasks (p. XX), Reapers travel into the world of the living to drag ghosts into the Great Below. They use their authority and prestige to defend the Underworld from those who would see it destroyed. One simple truth drives a chill into the heart of a Sin-Eater: Underneath all their power and clout, Reapers are the very same dead they have sworn to protect. A Ghost Like You Any ghost can become a Reaper. Becoming one is as simple as finding a Deathmask buried in the soil or floating down one of the many tributaries of the Rivers of the Underworld. Donning the mask triggers a startling transformation. Wearing a Deathmask is an exhilarating experience. A Reaper feels cold water running down his body, possibly the only sensation he’s felt in years. In an instant, the Reaper’s Corpus is infused with a monstrous visage.
