On Nov. 11, we attended a Veterans Day remembrance at the Lake Placid Christian School on Interlake Boulevard. We thank Headmaster Dennis Griffin and the faculty for letting us attend. We were impressed with the students and the ceremony, all the students and faculty gathered around the flag pole. The flag was raised by two students. The Pledge of Allegiance with proper salute was recited by all. Rev. DeHart lead us in prayer and gave a little talk on a friend of his who was in the war. One of the students gave a speech on what Veterans Day means to us and how we should honor our veterans. It was a very simple and meaningful ceremony. It was our privilege and pleasure to see and hear the youth of today remember this Veterans Day. Also in attendance was Charles Krueger, past commander, and Suzanne Krueger, patriotic instructor from the VFW 3880 in Lake Placid. ...more

Australian actor Hugh Jackman proved he can do more than just fill out a tux. His charm, style and sense of humor were on display when he opened the telecast with a comical song and dance tribute to the "best picture" nominees. He had less success with a forgettable salute to the comeback of musicals. But for most of the Oscars, the 40-year-old Broadway and film star steered a smooth course. ...more
