Hundreds of us (Tarpon) swarm around blue crabs that are bunched up around this sixty foot trench about a mile offshore. We are stocking up for our annual “run” we like to call it down to the dreaded pass, which has claimed many of my family members is the years past.

The State of Affairs To begin with, I view the current state of affairs in the town as political exploitation. There are two issues that need to be clearly disconnected, firefighting service delivery and political expediency. From the case presented, the mayor is seeking his fifth term by trying please the electorate. The legislation process needs to be disconnected from personal feuds. The firefighting service is a core requirement in any society. The mayor's office needs to support the department

the students of a school in Macomb County, Alabama. Fisher is an elementary school teacher who is bewildered of the ways of the people living in the town. As Fisher makes her first appearance in the novel, she is portrayed as a very generous person and this is evident through the acts that she performs. “Miss Caroline went to her desk and opened her purse. ‘Here’s a quarter,’ she said to Walter. ‘Go and eat downtown today.

Many people live in a state of marked poverty throughout the United States. Not because they are lazy or indifferent but simply due to a wide variety of circumstances that are often beyond their ability to control. Such a situation exists on the Pine Ridge Reservation in southwestern South Dakota, the home of the Lakota Sioux [see map on pg. 7]. This is not an inviable
