Movie Reviews by Reel People: 'Knight and Day'
If you don’t like Tom Cruise or Cameron Diaz, pass on “Knight and Day.” Cruise mugs through with an acute case of “hipititus” and Diaz poses as if in a photo shoot for People Magazine. If this blonde were any prettier, she could anchor Fox News. Other than the change in cast, this action-comedy has a similar plot as the recently released “Killers.”

I can remember my best 4th of July ever. There was a small parade in the morning and I spent hours and hours decorating my bike with streamers and tinfoil.

As most of the golfing community is aware, the contract of head golf professional Dave Lindeman has gone out to bid. There are many bits of rumors and speculation out there and Sean and I would like to dispel one of them. The bidding process does directly affect our job status.
Letter: More than a name
The Friday Flyer recently reported that the name of the ACC Department has been changed to the Planning and Compliance Department. I hope the department is changing more than just the name. I would hope the department (whatever its name) and the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) would change their heavy handed, inequitable, exclusionary, capricious and, in my opinion, illegal tactics.
