The Lady Colts softball team is determined to claim a league crown and go undefeated in MVAL play this year.

Coming off a first-place finish at the Reno tournament, in which Logan went 6-0, the Colts set the tone with a pair of runs in the first inning en route to a 9-0 victory over host Washington in opening MVAL action Tuesday afternoon.

"Getting runs early helps out a lot," Barnes said. "It allows me to relax and gives me room to breathe."

Technicians from the Lifetouch photography company scrambled this morning to set up equipment to make identification cards for hundreds of James Logan High School students who lack them, in preparation for the rapidly approaching day when they'll need ID to get on the campus and attend classes.

As part of a push to improve security in the wake of community violence that claimed a student's life in December, the school on March 31 will start requiring students to wear school-issued photo ID to get through guarded gates at four entrances to the campus.

It’s been seven and a half years since I picked up my instrument for the first time. As a fourth grader, I had next to no concept of the benefits or consequences of playing music or the decisions revolving around membership in band. I did not know that honor bands, music camps, and private lessons with professional musicians would become opportunities awaiting me in the near future, or that a prime musical education would soon come along to propel me into a world where music mattered. Nevertheless, with my parents’ support and encouragement, I entered the band room one day with a six-hundred dollar clarinet in tow. At that moment, I think that the only reason I even went in the room was because it sounded “cool” to be able to play an instrument. Instruments just looked so…complicated.

Normally, I would begin my review with a quote I feel is important to the book, whether it explains it, gives off a mood, or summarizes it. But for this book no quote really hit me like one normally would. Usually, that would mean that it’s a lame book. In this case, it just means it’s a romance novel. Actually, it’s a romantic suspense, but more romance than not. If the very word romance just caused you to stick up your nose or roll your eyes, this review probably isn’t for you. If it made you think to yourself “Finally, someone is reviewing a good ol’ cheesy romance,” then all I can say, is I agree.

Now that that’s over with, let me tell you about the book. Basically, Desdemona Wainwright caters a wedding where the groom, Sam Stark, gets stood up. She is then faced with the problem of somehow getting him to pay for the catering. They end up spending the night with her catering crew, who are made up of pretty much just her family of actors. There is immediate attraction (of course), but Stark, as he prefers to be called, ignores it. Weeks later, he sets up a contract with her and her business. The sparks fly, and they end up together.

From wikipedia:
William Allingham (March 19, 1824 or 1828 - November 18, 1889) was an Irish man of letters and poet.

He was born at Ballyshannon, Donegal, and was the son of the manager of a local bank who was of English descent. He obtained a post in the custom-house of his native town and held several similar posts in Ireland and England until 1870, when he had retired from the service, and became sub-editor of Fraser's Magazine, which he edited from 1874 to 1879, in succession to James Froude. He had published a volume of Poems in 1850, followed by Day and Night Songs, a volume containing many charming lyrics, in 1855.
