Review from
David Marshall James: "Nothing
Ventured" by Jeffrey Archer
"Spot on,"
"Right-o," and "Jolly good show" to this first novel in a
new series by the much accomplished Jeffrey Archer.
The author sets the clock
back to the mid 1980s, in London, spotlighting up-and-coming detective William
Warwick, whose family background should have taken him to Queen's Court, not
Scotland Yard, as his father is a highly regarded Queen's Counselor amidst the
bewigged and robed defenders of the laws of the realm.
However, it's William's
older sister, Grace, who makes Papa proud on that front, stepping up to the
bar, as young William follows his heart's desire into the Metropolitan Police
Force, walking a beat with an "old timer" mentor for two years before
sitting his detective's exam.
Because of his
avocational and academic background in art history, WW lands in the Art
and Antiquities department at Scotland Yard, where the leading case, going on
seven years, involves the theft of Rembrandt's most famous painting, The
Syndics of the Clothmakers' Guild, from the Fitzmolean, a London museum given
over to the Dutch Masters.
Here, Archer plays a
little loose with the facts; nevertheless, there is such a painting, and there
is a Fitzmolean museum in London, yet the painting is actually on display in
Amsterdam, along with masterpieces by other Dutch Masters.
And we don't mean cigars,
for those who treasure the memory of Rembrandt's Syndics on boxes of the
onetime ubiquitous restaurant- and drugstore-counter feature.
Naturally, WW is going to
get in on the art heist, along with assorted other cases of less grandiose
dimensions, including a fellow who's forging authorial autographs in allegedly
signed first editions for antique bookstores, as well as a case of allegedly
sunken historical treasure.
Then, there's a murder
allegedly committed by the father of someone who becomes close to WW in the
course of his investigation of the Rembrandt, which makes for a smashing
subplot.
Archer keeps the action
juggling on multiple fronts, never suffering a dull page. For readers of
well-versed novelists, Archer may not be a Dutch Master, but he's most
definitely a master. And you can peel the cellophane off that cigar and smoke
it.
The
Ridge Hill Educational Association,
in collaboration with Ridge Spring-Monetta High School and Morris College,
invites everyone to participate in an educational information and College
opportunity event on Saturday, March 31st
starting at 10:00AM. The event will be held at Ridge Spring-Monetta High School in Monetta, South Carolina. All
parents, high school seniors, juniors, and recent graduates who are not
currently enrolled in higher education are urged to attend.
Ridge Hill Educational Association takes great pleasure
in bringing this event to our community. This is a historic opportunity for our
area; let us take advantage by attending
and by helping to spread the word in advance of the event. Thank you.

Rodgers:
Teachers and staff got a first look
inside the facilities of our new school! We were thrilled with the beauty and
expanse of the building and rooms! The gym is huge with large classrooms all
around for agriculture, health science, band, and PE. The main building is
spacious and bright with offices and classrooms all around. The library took
our breath away, even as unfinished as it was. The view from the massive
windows overlook the pasture across the road sprinkled with Yon Angus cattle.
It was amazing! The English dept staked out our rooms in the left corner, but
Dr. Webb hasn’t assigned classrooms yet (we like to tell him what we want!).
The corner classrooms have windows all around and are bright with the afternoon
sunshine, and the other classrooms are spacious and bright as well. The next
day, I hastily began packing
On Sat., Nov. 30, from 4-6 pm, come out
to the Ridge Spring Arts Center for
hot chocolate and crafts! Children can spend an evening in their PJs at our
very own North Pole where we will read a favorite holiday story, create crafts,
and enjoy hot chocolate and snacks.
RSM Elem: Congratulations
to Spelling Bee winners: 1st
place Dylan Harris, 2nd place Caylah Doss, 3rd place
Nikki Cockrell.
RSM High: The
gridiron Trojans pulled out another amazing win in the third round of the
play-offs against Blackville. The teams had to go into three overtimes before
the Trojans sealed the victory 28-24.
This means the Trojans will play for the upper-state championship on Fri., Nov.
30, against rival Wagener-Salley in Wagener. The Trojans lost to the War Eagles
earlier in the season, but this is a new game! We love that 2 Aiken County
Schools teams have made it to the final four in the upper-state! Kick-off is
7:30.
On Fri., Nov. 15, about 80 RSM band students in grades 6 -12
attended a concert at the Aiken Community Theater sponsored by Aiken Performing
Arts. The performing group was Rumours, a Fleetwood Mac tribute band named
after one of Fleetwood Mac's most popular albums. They performed several songs
from the album Rumours and had
question and answer sessions between each song.
On Sat., Nov. 16, four members of the RSM True Blue Marching Band traveled to
Newberry College for Join the Band Day. Joanna Kaiser, Makayla Lee, Gabi Maltese, & Ta'Neisha Patterson
joined over 100 students from high schools across South Carolina and Georgia to
perform with the Newberry College Scarlet Spirit Marching Band. They
performed in the stands during the game between Newberry College and Limestone
College, and they performed a tribute to our veterans at halftime with the Newberry
College Marching Band. The students also got to witness an exciting 14-7
victory for Newberry over Limestone.
Chuck Dizinno, Cross Country Coach: The Trojans boys cross country team placed 10th
out of 12 teams at the State Championship Race Tues., Nov. 19! Isaias Figueroa led the team by placing
39th in 22:10 on the 3.1 mile course. Close behind was Gabriel Rueda-Flores, Vincent Romero, &
Luis Mendez-Perez, all breaking 25 minutes. Joel Yoho, Wyatt LaDue, & Jose Rivera rounded out the top 7 for
an epic day in RSM Trojan sports history. They are the first team to
compete at the State meet in only the second year of the cross country team’s
formation.
RSM’s Top Notch Trojans
were honored last week with a pizza & ice cream party. TNTs are students who are on the honor roll, have fewer than 5
tardies, AND have no disciplinary infractions. We had 58 students earn this
award and receive certificates and buttons as an additional reward. We are
aiming to have even more for 2nd quarter!
Last week, a rep from Abraham Baldwin Agriculture College in
Tifton, GA, stopped by to meet with the CATE students. Tanisha Johnson talked
with the students about all the opportunities available for them within ABAC, a
leading agricultural and health science college. They offer associate and
bachelors degrees in both sciences, both of which have 98% placement. In
addition, tuition, room, board, and books are about 1/3 the cost of SC’s 4-year
colleges.
The Beta
Club and NEHS honored faculty and staff for American Education Week by
providing a delicious breakfast for them last Wed. Club members brought
casseroles, pastries, biscuits, grits, and more to help start the day off
right. On Friday, HOSA provided a
salad bar lunch for faculty and staff in recognition of American Education
Week. These events reinforce the fact that the Trojan family is close, loving,
& giving. Trojan Pride!

Garden Tips: This
is a good month to think about building a cold frame, which is like a halfway
house for seedlings as they make their way from the windowsill or under light
table to the outdoors. The cold frame is basically a bottomless box made of
wood stone or brick with a transparent or translucent cover. It is an
unheated greenhouse. I had
several at my shop and put tomato seedlings in them in February but they grew too tall. So I changed the date to late March. It really works. I did dig down a little so they plants were
somewhat below ground.
