Leonard Bell was on the town square with
plenty of fall produce. Drop by and
check his produce out. He has the usual
fall stuff plus pinto beans, black beans, and field peas. Some were already shelled. So far the deer
are leaving the beans alone.

Josie Rodgers: Last week, I attended
the CERRA (Center for Education,
Recruitment, Retention, & Advancement) Fall
Renewal Conference at Myrtle Beach. These conferences are the best I have
ever participated in throughout my 24-year teaching career. It has been 5 years since I attended because
I was teaching ESOL and not Teacher Cadets.
It was amazing to be able to reconnect with my CERRA colleagues; they
were so excited to see me and welcomed me back with excitement! The entire conference followed an All-Star
Sports theme, and each day brought speakers, workshops, games, prizes, and
more. We heard from the spunky SC
Teacher of the Year Jennifer Wise; we were all a bit more enthusiastic about
teaching after her stories! We also
enjoyed words of wisdom from Coastal Carolina’s head baseball coach and the
National Coach of the Year Gary Gilmore and watched a compilation of the
winning moments of all the post-season games that led to the National
Championship. Both of these speakers had
several characteristics in common:
dedication to teaching and coaching, commitment to students as
individuals, hearts for service to others, and a love for God that guides their
lives. I am truly renewed and ready to
get back to my students with a fresh perspective.

Review from David Marshall James: "I Loved Her in the Movies: Memories of Hollywood's Legendary Actresses" by Robert J. Wagner, with Scott Eyman
R.J. Wagner's third book
proves thoroughly devourable, like a box of chocolates filled with fancy
truffles.
Indeed, it's a valentine
to many of the cinema actresses he has known over the past-- can it be?--
65-plus years.
There's also the occasional
billet doux: To Natalie Wood, naturally; to Jill St. John, certainly.
Then, there're his onetime costar Barbara Stanwyck, as well as Joan
Crawford (!). Just a fling with Miss Joan, mind you, but that's a
turn-back-the-page-and-reread-it moment.
Speaking of Joan's, R.J.
confesses he had it bad for Miss Collins, but her head had been turned by
Warren Beatty (she claims to have his engagement ring, still, in the proverbial
Vault), then Anthony Newley.
R.J. also had a thing
for, but not a fling with, Lana Turner. Interestingly, a partial portrait
of La Lana seems to be gracing the cover.
Whew. And we're not
even past the hot fudge into the ice cream yet. R.J. reels on and on,
back to Norma Shearer's boudoir. But: It's not what you would
think.
The memories include
Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davis, Rosalind Russell, Sophia Loren,
and Audrey Hepburn.
I like that they also
include Irene Dunne, Joan Blondell, Dorothy Lamour, Ann Rutherford, Florence
Henderson, and Claire Trevor.
It's when someone writes
about other people that we learn the most about that someone.
Only two actresses with
whom R.J. worked receive the "bite into it and put it back in the
box" treatment. Their first names are Raquel and Shelley.
Picture it: R.J.
Wagner walks up to you in a white dinner jacket, red carnation in the lapel.
What do you do? "Melt like chocolate under the arc lights of
Stage 18 at Warner Bros." would be an appropriate answer.
