By Kevin E. Foley

he idea of Memorial Day, known until 1967 as Decoration Day, goes Tback to the end of the American Civil War. It became a three-day week- end, along with other national holidays, by an Act of Congress in 1971, in the midst of the Vietnam War. For many people the creation of a Memorial Day weekend shifted the holiday’s emphasis from the remembrance of the war dead Honoring the Fallen — Memorial Day prayers will be offered at 9 a.m. Monday, May 26, by Fr.

Phone Scam Warning Issued Putnam County Sheriff Donald B. Smith reports that the Treasury Inspector General for Taxpayer Administration has issued a warning to the public concerning telephone calls being made claiming to represent the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in an effort to defraud them. Sheriff Smith and Inspector General George urge residents to be aware of this sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers. Callers purporting to be from the IRS tell intended victims they owe taxes and must pay using a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer. Scammers threaten those who refuse to pay with arrest, deportation or loss of a business or driver’s license. In fact, the IRS usually contacts people by mail — not by phone — about unpaid taxes. Agents won’t ask for payment using a pre-paid card or wire transfer. They will not ask for credit card information over the telephone. Sheriff Smith and Inspector General George encourage taxpayers to be alert for phone and e-mail scams that use the IRS name. The IRS will never request personal or financial information by e-mail, texting or social media. Forward suspicious e-mails to [email protected]. Do not open attachments or click on any links in those e-mails.

It’s the Three Musketeers, 20 years later. Originally a French play, written by Pierre Corneille, translated and adapted by David Ives. It’s all rhyming couplets with quirky, modern, rhymes. It’s a very amusing read and kind of a recipe for hilarity.” … the character and her costume: “This costume is for Lucrece, [played by Katie Hartke]. Lucrece is the best friend of Clarice, and both are being wooed by Dorante, the liar of the title. Lucrece is less showy than Clarice, and (spoiler) actually ends up with Dorante. I wanted to make her clothing slightly less flamboyant than her friend to suggest a little more depth. I did a lot of research: paintings by Peter Lely and Anthony van Dyck in particular.
