| Kernville Elementary celebrates Laps for Learning
Select classrooms were rewarded Friday, Jan. 18, with pizza and root beer float parties for gaining top earnings for Laps for Learning, as well as selling bamboo plants and creating the best 'Just Say No' poster. The student who raised the most money for Laps for Learning received a new bicycle. In a repeat of last year's performance, fifth grader Jared Moffatt raised the most money for Laps for Learning, earning $252, and another brand new bicycle. Bill Best's third grade class earned $1,340.33 in Laps for Learning money, which earned them a root beer float party. The hard working students also sold the most (53) bamboo plants for a total of $530. This accomplishment earned the class an ice cream sundae party. However, because one than one party was scheduled for the same day, Principal Aileen DeLapp and Best opted for a combined pizza and root beer float party.
Suicide bomber strikes Shiite pilgrims in Iraq
The WWI may not have been a religious war, but WWII certainly was.
1. All the Fascist Axis (Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, even France) were Catholics, and had Pope's blessing
2. The Allies were Protestants (USA, UK, Netherlands etc.)
3. Both concurred on a Final Solution in the West (even for Canada 1 Jew was too many). Israel is a living proof
4. Fascist wantedHoly Victory (Sieg Heil). Revisionsts now say that they only meant Hail Victory
5. The tone of the movie Triumph of the Will is religious
That is understandable. The soul of the Modern Democratic West is anti-Jewish. Magna Carta contains 3 clauses limiting Jewish activities.
How does the WWII differ from the present unstated Sunni-Shia carnage? What confuses the Westerners is that in Islam religion is not separate from politics, in the West it is.
Pharmacy and accounting volunteers fill important roles
During World War II he joined the Navy as a pharmacist. However, the Navy sent him to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy to get a degree in marine engineering and then sent him out to sea. After the war he was a neighborhood pharmacist and then a medical service representative for Eli Lilly & Co. The company transferred him to Jacksonville in 1973. Currently he is a consultant pharmacist for nursing homes and surgery centers. He was attending a meeting of the Northeast Florida Society of Hospital Pharmacists and an old friend, Jim Burt, came to speak to the group and ask for volunteers to work at the pharmacy at Volunteers in Medicine. Located downtown on East Duval Street, VIM is a volunteer-run medical clinic improving the health of Jacksonville area residents by providing free outpatient medical services to the working uninsured.
Dear Panhinda and lucky.
This is an interesting discussion. But, have you checked out the prices of a bicycle lately ? Recently, I wanted to buy a bicycle for my 8 yr old daughter and checked the price of a kids bicycle with side wheels. It was Rs 6,000/- I was stunned. Anyway, I was thinking of buying a bike for myself for exercise purposes. A recondition mountain bike sells between 12,000 and 20,000 depending on options. A basic 'poor man' bicycle is around Rs 8,000. So, you must be able to fork out quite a capital to buy the poor man's vehicle. Now, these are the types of industries that we can probably have in Sri Lanka. It would probably generate employment while at the same time lowering the prices. .

Injured rider's husband works for safety of other bike commuters
LATE LAST WEEK, a bicyclist on his way to work stopped on Shore Drive, dismounted and disappeared into some brush to retrieve a package. There, inside a brown sack, was the booty he'd been promised the day before, A bike helmet. A pair of gloves. A blinking LED light. For the man who had left the sack, Rich Roberts, it was a way of saying thanks, and of making a small difference by aiding another rider. His wife, Maxine, was hit by two cars Oct. 29 while riding her bike on Shore Drive, near the Lesner Bridge in Virginia Beach. She sustained a broken collarbone, a broken femur, six broken ribs, two collapsed lungs and a massive laceration on her left side. She likely survived only because she was wearing a helmet, which was destroyed in the accident.
