NORFOLK It's a late January night at Norfolk Christian High, and as is the case more often than not, there's no one on the basketball court capable of giving James McAdoo a game.
SALT LAKE CITY -- If the gloomy fog that darkened the chilled Wasatch Front air Sunday afternoon was frightful, then the holiday atmosphere inside of Fleming's Prime Steakhouse could aptly be described as delightful. Making the most of a rare day off for the Utah Jazz, Deron Williams and his wife, Amy, hosted the annual charity Christmas Dinner sponsored by the star point guard's Point of Hope Foundation.
LONG BEACH - Residents of the Central Area who were heading to Martin Luther King Jr. Park on Sept.3 were greeted by a large sign that read "LB Com Picnic Cancelled. For those who came expecting live music, bounce houses, clowns, facepainting, free haircuts, school supplies, celebrity guests, dancers, a softball game and the "tons more" promised on fliers posted around town and on Facebook, it was quite a letdown.
Stories about Susan Hittle's grandmother feeding neighbors in a small West Virginia town during the Depression inspired her to volunteer at Meals on Wheels, where she discovered her own passion for the work and a talent for organizing eclectic bus tours. It has been 10 years since she and her husband moved from North Tonawanda to Lewiston, but she has kept up her connection to the organization and the people who work from the agency's headquarters on Ridge Road behind the high school.
My oldest friend-and by that, I mean the person I've been friends with the longest, not the friend who's the farthest beyond me in years-once said something to the effect, "I'm a Methodist because my folks were Methodists. If they'd been something else, I'd probably be something else. I've known this guy since we were 3. We learned about the Good Samaritan side by side in Sunday school. If I remember right, he was Joseph in the Christmas play, while I only pulled a measly shepherd part. We grew up together in the Methodist youth group. Come summers, we rode to church camp in a creaky school bus all the way to Wallowa Lake. When we were 15 or so, we went through the ritual of officially joining the church. Meridian's United Methodist Church: The old, gray-stone one that's been torn down...
HINCKLEY - Good Will-Hinckley, the longtime residential care facility for homeless and at-risk youths in Maine, is at a crossroads. Except for a small day-school program, the historic facility is shuttered, its sprawling 2,450-acre campus on the Kennebec River idled, largely due to changes over time in public policy and funding. Supporters say they are leaving no stone unturned in the search for a solution that will bring Good Will-Hinckley back to life, serving the displaced, disturbed, disruptive and disadvantaged youths who have been at the heart of its humanitarian mission since it was established in 1889.
A developing partnership between Good Will-Hinckley and Kennebec Valley Community College could provide new educational opportunities in Fairfield for high school and college students across Maine. The partnership would allow the community college to offer the state's first associate degree program in agriculture, on land that the college is negotiating to buy from Good Will-Hinckley.
HINCKLEY - Good Will-Hinckley is hiring U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Education and former Speaker of the Maine House Glenn Cummings to serve as its president and executive director, according to a press release from the school's board of directors. The board also announced it is in discussions with the Maine Community College System to explore potential opportunities and areas of common interest on Good Will-Hinckley's 2,450-acre campus.
The donors to the San Antonio Area Foundation number about 500 and they are the ones that allow what we see in the community to happen," [Reggie Williams] said. "I have been at this post for eight years so the surprise has gone away. I just know that the people of San Antonio are sharing and loving people.

"It has been to Turkey, Mexico, and now to San Antonio," added McDermott. "After...
Dear Miss Manners: I was thrown for a loop by this situation at Thanksgiving, which I was overseeing at my 88-year-old mother's home. My brother's brood of young adults arrived before noon, an hour earlier than I'd expected them. I was effusive in welcoming them in, and did the best I could to be gracious as they all crowded into the kitchen, each asking what they could do to help. I said thank you, but I really just needed to concentrate on completing my mother's dishes for the "landing.
