Our admission booths were staffed with some of the nicest people from our local area. I heard some comments back about being a ticket taker last August and they were all good! Maybe it was the little bag of treats Valle or Azery took to the workers about half way through their shifts. Maybe it was knowing they were needed and a big part of helping with fair time volunteer activities. We cannot thank them enough for...
TRANSITION WEEKEND--Well, last week was pretty toasty around here as temperatures were up in the 90s last Friday. However, on the coast it was much cooler that day and we got some of their cloud cover the first half of Saturday. Then the wind picked up and we cleared off quite a bit by afternoon and saw the sunshine and it was nice again. However, by late afternoon it was another story, as that wind came back up and nothing but dark clouds covered us by early evening. Needless to say, the rain that I saw on Sunday morning was no surprise and...

What would her father say now? A child of a US serviceman, Carol Peacock spent her childhood in Germany where, in a region saturated with museums, ancient architecture and artists at work on street corners, she developed an interest in art. Her father didn't encourage that interest, telling her that art was only a hobby and to take up something that would make money. "I kept playing at it," she recalled in an interview Tuesday. "I was precocious and got sent to my room a lot, and I would draw. I liked it." Peacock returned to the US as a...

But there is an intangible that makes organizations go: someone around whom the department will solidify and rally as a constructive element of transformational leadership. I think Marlena Silva exhibits this quality. She supports county employees and their...
