Click Here My Throat An Open Grave is Tori Bovalino’s third YA horror novel After taking us through dark academia and the Goblin Market this looks at the ideas behind changelings Leah’s little brother has been taken by the Lord of the Forest And her small town community blames her – and exiles her to return Owen Leah starts to realise that maybe the Lord of the Forest isn’t quite as bad as he’s made out to be And perhaps there are deeper secrets buried within her religious community Leah has to learn that whether good or bad she has to accept who she is and make her own way teen pregnancy and the dangers of small-town religious communities Overall Deeper themes are not explored in quite enough detail used rather as set dressing for the story in the foreground I wish there had been more scope to look at the mental impact of living in such a stifled community and the complexity of a system in which children get taken and young women disappear My Throat An Open Grave almost hits the spot not going as deep as I believe the story could have taken them the story in My Throat An Open Grave is woven around Leah’s trauma It is the story of a young woman finding ways to handle her past giving her space to grow through the story I found this element to be handled really well The slow reveal of Leah’s past and secrets created tension as well as moments of tenderness she has hidden who she actually is to everyone – even to herself I loved connecting the dots as the reader gets hints and unravel Leah as a person It is glorious to see a young woman grow and become herself I particularly liked how My Throat An Open Grave explored tropes and familiar stories The idea of a Lord of the Forest who takes only what is offered to him is fascinating especially when you consider themes of guilt and overwhelm It works as a tool to force conflict within the story Leah and the Lord of the Forest are both – to an extent – evil people who do bad things What the story does well is to balance out individual actions with their background creating complex morality within the story One of Bovalino’s big strengths is to move within that selfish morality and show that good or bad aren’t really possible Read on Amazon Get the inside scoop on everything dark fantasy Join our mailing list to turn your inbox into a grimbox © Grimdark Magazine 2025   |   Built with ♥ by Acid Media You are viewing your 1 free article this month Orbit UK has snapped up The Second Death of Locke who has previously published YA horror under the name Tori Bovalino Commissioning editor Nadia Saward bought UK and Commonwealth rights to three interconnected standalones from Amelia Appel and Uwe Stender at Triada US Literary Agency Publication for The Second Death of Locke is planned for autumn 2025 packed with political intrigue and an intricate magic system The Second Death of Locke will strongly appeal to the dedicated Gideon the Ninth [St Martin’s Press] fanbase," Saward said "I was obsessed with the romance between Grey and Kier and I can’t wait for readers to fall for them as much as I have."

Winsand Distinguished Woman in Education Award in April This award was presented through the Tri-State Area School Study Council through the University of Pittsburgh It honors women who have made a significant impact and a positive difference throughout their careers and who have demonstrated exemplary leadership and service to others through their activities and initiatives According to the Rochester Area School District website who has served as superintendent since 2013 This includes previous teaching work at the Riverside School District the Western Beaver County School District and Big Beaver Falls Area School District Jean Winsand was an associate professor in both the departments of Instruction and Learning and Administrative and Policy Studies in The University of Pittsburgh’s School of Education She fervently advocated for more females in administration at both the University level and in K-12 schools The Devil Makes Three is the perfect dark academia novel for fans of this literary genre and would function well as a gateway novel for readers who have yet to set toe in these murky waters dark academia revolves around a narrative steeped in mystery and Gothic gloom in a university or boarding school setting often involving secret societies or a dark ominous campus history heretofore unknown to its modern day crop of students—until disturbing events start to take place perhaps someone disappears or a body turns up prompting our intrepid protagonist to investigate Or it may be that they have a secret personal connection to the unnerving incidents taking place… who launches herself into the YA book market with self-assured style and polished prose our heroine is the sharp and spiky Tess Matheson She has a chip on her shoulder and isn’t afraid to show it even when putting on an amiable face would help smooth the way Her path to a part-scholarship at Falk University and job at its library was a rocky one paved with a blindside that rocked her family dynamics noble self-sacrifice and the charity of a distant great aunt which secures a place on campus for herself and her beloved younger sister The reader isn’t privy right away to the circumstances that led to Tess being at Falk and she comes off as a trifle off-putting with her anger and resentment It’s an interesting tactic introducing her to us in this manner almost as though we’re being encouraged to view her through one slightly negative lens before the author refocuses it to show her in another light Female protagonists in YA are often a combination of various positive attributes with flaws being something acceptable like ‘feisty’ or ‘impulsive’ so it’s interesting when a bookish heroine is more notable for being antagonistic And liking Tess is certainly a challenge for our other main character Due to an unfortunate case of mistaken identity and some regrettable passive-aggressive venting on sticky notes affixed to a large pile of requested books she and Eliot don’t exactly start off on the right foot this potential blackmail allows Eliot to take advantage of Tess’s full library access to sneak him into a restricted area where they wind up discovering a secret passage to a mysterious grimoire tucked away in a remote corner…and that’s just the start to their misadventures involving demons plus the grisly visuals are spaced out at regular intervals to give the reader a bit of breathing space in between confronting scenes there is a lot to enjoy here with deliciously dark and twisted moments that will set your head reeling and a huge part of the thrill is watching our leads embark on a misguided course of action just knowing it will lead nowhere good and waiting on tenterhooks for the trap to be sprung There’s also the literary equivalent of jump scares which the author confidently executes to great effect sure to lead to sharp gasps and frantically pounding hearts there is a slow-burn romance unfolding between Tess and Eliot which is a pleasure to read as their initially hostile dynamic warms into something closer to an alliance giving the reader time to invest in both characters and their individual journeys before strengthening their connection and willing us to yearn for more along with them The romantic tension isn’t the only relationship dynamic developed in this book as there is also a large focus on platonic and familial bonds as well While Nat doesn’t feature as heavily in the action despite how much she fuels Tess’s drive to succeed at Falk the sisterly relationship is a constant feature in the background and Tess’s roommate also pops up now and then showing a warm supportive female friendship that is welcome in the midst of all the angst and gloom Eliot’s family background is explored in greater depth than expected providing a great deal of character nuance and fleshing him out as we witness his closeness to an ill mother who taught him magic and his strained toxic relationship with his father who abhors any hint of the supernatural The Devil Makes Three is a perfectly chilling YA horror that delivers in spades on the delicious premise of dark academia set in a formidably vast library with a creepy basement Its spooky atmosphere is expertly drawn by accomplished captivating writing that amps up the reader’s breathless anticipation with each unsettling new chapter The charismatic lead characters are easy to emotionally invest in and will have you praying for their safety as they desperately face off against demons And the final brilliant closing line will linger in your head long after finishing this eerily haunting and unexpectedly emotional story The Devil Makes Three is available from Amazon, Book Depository Synopsis | Goodreads See alsoMeredith Mooring’s Top Five Sapphic

Pennsylvania town where young girls are brought up to believe that they are always just a step away from unforgivable sin and that any wayward girl will be taken away by the Lord of the Woods a shadowy being who lurks at the edge of the forest Leah is trying to remain on the straight and narrow working at her dead end job and helping care for her baby brother a bundle of twigs left behind in his stead and Leah is forced to follow the town’s dictum and go strike a bargain with the Lord of the Woods to get the baby back no girl has ever come back from such a journey where “all the girls like [Leah] end up with their choices taken away” is pitched as YA horror inspired by the 1986 fantasy movie Labyrinth The Labyrinth reference is clear from the premise itself But that’s pretty much where it ends—once Leah enters the forest and meets the Lord of the Woods the novel becomes more of a YA romance with a touch of folk horror (no spoilers) Leah finds herself in the company of decent people Even the ghosts she meets have more depth to them than she initially believes.  this new knowledge doesn’t just start to change Leah herself but also all that she thinks she knew and understood about her hometown and its people What happened to all the girls who came to the woods before her the girls whose ghosts and memories haunt Leah in the woods The stories Leah has been told and the stories she hears in the woods from Tristan and his community do not add up so Leah must face her fears in the woods to understand what the future holds for her—or if she has a future at all This is as much a bildungsroman as it is a story of rebellion against the patriarchy against limitations imposed on young women in order to control them Winston is an oppressive place; the small town’s church attempts to control its female population by fear The tenets of the town—and more specifically as they remove responsibility from the young men and instead lay all blame on young women never giving them the chance to achieve their potential The vicious cycles continue from mother to daughter with Leah having a fraught relationship with her mother caught in a sort of emotional Stockholm syndrome where she wishes she could hate her mother and didn’t so desperately want her love and acceptance Bovalino makes it clear that all the indoctrination Leah has been through has left her more than just a little conflicted traumatised young woman filled with doubt about her every thought and action Leah finds it impossible to believe that she is not evil simply because she cannot reconcile natural human desire with what she has been taught: “I am a mangled thing I have broken the rules that were set out for me trampled over the holiness of my body.” This sort of narrative does repeat a bit and can feel a little overwrought at times as we see Leah think this way and immerse herself in water consistently to wash away her “sins,” so it is a relief to see her grow especially at the denouement

Rochester Area School District student receiving special education services transfers to a public charter school the district pays more than $37,000 to the new school If that child lives down the road in the New Brighton Area School District the number is about a third lower — that district pays $25,000 for a student to receive the same education “They’re paying less for that exact same student,” said Jane Bovolino Bovalino and other Rochester officials are lobbying Pennsylvania legislators to support a proposal from Gov Tom Wolf that would level the checkbook for traditional public schools when it comes to their charter school payments and have a meeting scheduled with state Rep Charter schools are privately operated by publicly funded schools that offer an alternative option to parents who want a different approach for their child’s education the school district redirects taxpayer dollars to the new school according to a formula based on enrollment and budget numbers That means the tuition payment can vary wildly from district to district the last year payments from all 14 Beaver County school districts were available where the district pays $8,872 for each student that goes to a charter school That payment is nearly double in South Side Area School District tuition costs for charter students are $10,855 That tuition increases significantly if the child is entitled to special education services Districts — and charter schools — are federally required to provide whatever services a student needs the state assumes that a certain percent of a school’s population requires special education services — and divides the districts’ total special-education costs by that state average Blackhawk School District paid $18,176 to charter schools for each special education student while officials in Rochester paid $33,896 that year — nearly double “Just because you happen to live in Rochester the community has to pay a higher price,” Onuska said They’re not getting any different education I could be sitting next to someone who is from Blackhawk and getting the same education for twice the cost But the leader of the state’s largest cyber charter school begs to differ CEO at the Midland-based Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School said charter schools should receive what a district is paying to educate that student “I think it’s completely fair that a Rochester student (attending PA Cyber) gets the same amount of funding that would be spent in a school district,” Hayden said “That’s what their family is paying (taxes) for.” Bovalino pointed to the fact that all Beaver County districts pay the same fee for students to attend the Beaver County Career and Technical Center The same should be true for charter schools who maintains that the state’s charter school law “We’re simply following the law,” Hayden said “I’m not sure why they’re critical of that (The students’) families are paying taxes for an amount of money to educate the student Why shouldn’t the student get the full advantage of that?” all districts would pay the same rate for a student to attend a charter school Changing that funding formula is something that Beaver Area School District Superintendent Carrie Rowe has been advocating for several years which she included in a 2019 letter to Vogel Rowe said some school finance problems could be remedied if officials made changes to the tuition payments that take a chunk of their budget “Beaver County school districts don’t need the governor to find new money for education and we certainly don’t want to raise taxes; all we need is for the Pennsylvania government to reform the way cyber charter and charter schools are funded,” Rowe said “We could add many opportunities for students and relieve the local tax payers’ burden if just a portion of this money were returned to our budgets.” executive director of the Pennsylvania Coalition of Public Charter Schools districts are putting money ahead of student education “It’s clear to anyone paying attention that their political agenda is to put more money in their coffers not help students seeking the best educational options available,” Myers said in a statement “All they do is talk about dollars and cents,” he said “We’re focused on our kids hopes and dreams.” realized her hopes and dreams after transferring from Central Valley to Lincoln Park

wish it was around when I was a kid,” he said “Nothing is worse than offering kids vanilla ice cream and you say no this is vanilla and you’re going to like it But to him it doesn’t matter how the money gets to the charter school — just that his daughter is getting opportunities and is excited about learning I’m not going to put a price tag on my daughter’s happiness and well-being,” Joseph said Bovalino and other Rochester officials aren’t lobbying to see that choice go away rather they want things to be done more equitably “We want our school board to get behind the bill It doesn’t matter if pro-school choice or not,” she said It’s not about a better or worse education We are thrilled to be sharing an exclusive excerpt from Tori Bovalino’s Not Good For Maidens Described as

taught and held various administrative positions during her 22 years at Big Beaver Falls Area School District said she’s hoping to deliver long-term stability to the position which has been surrounded by controversy in recent years “I think it’s a great opportunity for myself and the district moving forward,” she said cohesive school board that’s committed to the district and the success of the students.” Former Superintendent Carolyn Wilkovich resigned in June after the school board placed her on administrative leave Board members declined to comment on Wilkovich Monday Kathryn Gruber – a former district superintendent from 1999 to 2002 — has filled in as acting superintendent since March The school board inked Bovalino to a four-year deal in January at a starting salary of $112,000 Bovalino attended West Virginia Wesleyan College as an undergraduate before receiving her masters and doctorate in education from the University of Pittsburgh School Board President Marian Acon said Bovalino’s “outside-the-box” thinking will mesh well with the district “We’re excited to start a new chapter,” she said we try to be creative when it comes to resources and finances Bovalino is tasked with helping to turn around a district that has faced declining student enrollment and financial difficulties School board members are considering whether or not to raise taxes for a second consecutive year The board passed a preliminary budget in January that keeps its options open regarding tax increases District officials plan to file for exceptions above the Act 1 index a state law protecting taxpayers from excessive increases If the board ultimately votes to raise taxes above the index the additional revenue would be put toward special education programs and retirement costs “We’re not there yet,” board member Aaron Brant said in regards to raising taxes “I can say that when the time comes to make a decision the board will do what’s in the best interest of the district and its students.” Board members could not provide additional details on the budget Monday which is scheduled to be finalized in June The school’s business manager Wanda DeSimone has been on leave and was not in attendance for the board meeting district officials are exploring a deal with Verizon Wireless to construct a cell-phone tower on the school’s roof the 29-year contract would pay the district $1,000 per month The board did not take action on the matter Monday BEAVER – When the Water Complex at Shaw Park closed down in 2020 many wondered if the pool would ever reopen A committee was formed to determine the feasibility of fixing the pool said the group was initially drawn to the question: How can we ensure the families of Beaver have access to a community pool Grisafi said the group is now asking an even bigger question: What if the pool was part of a larger vision for Shaw Park and the wider Beaver community The pool committee recently gave a presentation to borough council about its ideas and funding plans to not only build a new pool but to make general improvements to Shaw Park The plan is called Playing for Keeps: A Campaign for the Future of Beaver The committee was formed by council member and current board President Alexander Andres and former council member and Beaver Area School Board member Frank Bovalino The full committee consists of Grisafi as president Vickey Neely and Beverly Pietrandrea for events and event planning Dan Reed for campaign management and strategy Christi Ringer for pool management and Rachel Telljohann for public relations Grisafi and Johnson are part of the donor engagement subcommittee and Johnson leads the finance subcommittee Grisafi said when the committee was first formed in which the vast majority of people in Beaver Bridgewater and Brighton Township said they would want the pool to come back More: Beaver and Brighton Township sign letters of support for Shaw Park pool the decision was made by the committee to raise the money for the new pool through a campaign rather than asking council to pay for it and raise taxes Grisafi said the committee is inspired by the late Richard L who was known for volunteering many hours and working on many different projects and initiatives for the borough Shaw was a lifeguard at the pool when he was growing up “I think the best way to honor him is to get this done,” he said Added Andres: “We do have a motivated pool committee.” The committee initially presented three potential designs for the pool in 2021 with Reed stating the committee is focusing on the second one the committee would like a tiled zero entry themed mini-features and slide for younger children a six-foot family slide and deck fencing between wading and deeper water to have various height sprays and textures the committee wants additional ADA entry and accessible restrooms; new concession stands closer to the bathhouse; large sunshade structures throughout; and to reuse the old concession stand as a filter building The proposed design carries a maximum of 671 people for the main pool 158 for the wading pool and 133 for the splash pad the committee would like to expand and improve the parking lot make a new pavilion to have more community events and gatherings update and resurface the tennis courts and basketball courts as he and his siblings often went there when it opened “I have a lot of good memories of the pool when the committee was trying to create a vision they said there was a reason why they wanted to focus on not just the pool He said it is the goal of the committee to make Shaw Park a new “recreational town center,” and a “hub of help” for the community 36% of children report feeling lonely “frequently” or “almost all the time,” with that number over 40% for Beaver County National surveys state 61% of young adults age 18-25 reported “miserable” degrees of loneliness Reed said there are a lot of young mothers and a lot of young families in the borough He further said national statistics show 80% of all people under 50 spend an average of two hours per day on social media teenagers talk online 55% of the time compared to 25% in-person and 25% of adults engage in zero physical activity Reed said the committee wants Shaw Park to be a place where people can come and interact with each other in-person and can be outside engaging in physical activity He said the goals of the committee are to expand and deepen the quality of family life establish greater relational connections through public recreation and advance the physical and mental health of the community “Can Beaver County be known for the quality of its families rather than the quantity of its families,” Reed said Reed said the total cost to rebuild the pool would be $4.5 million and the cost to renovate the park would be $1.3 million bringing the total project cost to $5.8 million He said the project cost has gone up 20% from this point last year due to supply chain issues and rising inflation costs the committee has been going over the feasibility of whether or not it is possible to raise the $5.8 million The committee has also been working on a specific fundraising plan as well as how to communicate the scope of the project to both the public and council “Our real goal is to work with council to be able to provide a compelling community space here in Beaver using Shaw Park,” Reed said Reed said the committee hopes to raise the $5.8 million through a three-to-four-year campaign the committee would be seeking large private donations and annual gifts through a “silent phase,” which he said will hopefully get to 60% of the funding goal Reed said they would begin the public phase of the campaign they hope to raise $3.9 million in private funding by year four with different community fundraising events planned in the future as well who could help the committee apply for grants and could receive up to $2 million to $2.5 million Bob Casey’s office to apply for federal grant funding and said the county could give the pool $120,000 to $125,000 in grant funding The committee also has a website, beaverareapool.com which gives further information and ways to donate to the project Reed said all donations and commitments to the project would be unrestricted meaning residents cannot specify where they want their donations to go towards Reed said the committee will not move forward with the fundraising campaign without approval from council He also said the committee would like a plan by council in place about how they would handle the yearly maintenance costs of the pool and have management in place for the new pool construction the committee will halt the plan and come up with a different project Reed said the committee hasn’t determined what the project bids would likely cost nor did they come up with pricing for residents to use the pool the latter of which he said should be determined by council Chief of Police/Beaver Manager Dan Madgar said the existing pool is scheduled to be filled in this week He said he has concerns with costs going up again in the future which could derail the fundraising initiative “The only scary thing is it’s a moving target,” Madgar said Added Councilwoman Amy Stettler: “I think we have to make a decision.” Madgar also said he does not want to see the pool area vacant for three to five more years He proposed that the project be done in phases such as the improvements to Shaw Park being done first which he believes would attract more people Grisafi said the committee is open to any suggestion and said it is always looking for any help from any resident in regards to management of the project Councilman Alex Sebastian asked whether the committee should consider revamping the pool at the Beaver Area School District with Councilmen Michael Deelo and Jim Perini stating the school board wasn’t interested in the idea Councilman Sean Snowden said he would like to see the potential construction management costs and maintenance costs before council makes a decision Andres said council will need to vote in the future on whether to extend the life of the committee Councilwoman Margaret McKean suggested creating a recreation board to not only look at potential maintenance costs for the pool but to monitor fundraiser events held in the future for the pool Madgar said the previous pool cost approximately $25,000 a year to maintain and said council should not expect a potential new pool to give the borough a profit or break even the committee is moving in a positive direction with clear goals and objectives Stettler said the committee should consider speaking to other area communities that recently installed community pools Reed said the majority of people he has interacted with in the community are supportive of getting a new pool He said this not only included people in Beaver “They would absolutely love to see a pool be built; the park can be a great recreational town center for the community,” Reed said “I think when they hear some of the ideas for the park There’s so many young families in the community now it’s not hard for people to get sort of an imagination for what the park can offer.” He said there are people he spoke to who question if the committee can truly raise $5.8 million the pool is a real asset to the community,” Reed said Grisafi said he would like to see the pool committee gradually turn into a conservatory that can be used to help finance the pool for years to come so they don’t have to go through this process again

Tori Bovalino caught my attention last year with the tightly plotted, horrifyingly brilliant The Devil Makes Three That same attention to detail and innate ability to craft such perfect horror rings true once more This feels like the whisper in the dark that promises you everything you have ever wanted Instantly the scene of intertwining timelines and the legacy of that traumatic experience is established You know this is going to be a book that does not hold back and grapples with intergenerational trauma Bovalino constantly keeps you wanting more drawing you into this blood-drenched world where every action has consequences and everything has its price It resembles the market in the way it shines but that shine is a veneer of bright promises to conceal the horrific underbelly Time flew past as the pages flowed and the blood spilt This is the sort of retelling that honours the essence of the original but spins it into something entirely new The Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti is an impactful poem warning of the dangers of temptation and damnation particularly periodical taboos surrounding sexuality and desire Bovalino brings these moral panics into the modern day interrogating societal assumptions and the underlying judgement of female sexuality It is a deeply feminist and empowering book complicating Rossetti’s original challenges to society The way Bovalino brings the original tale into the timelines is excellent and a creative way of merging these two worlds Lou was such a fantastic protagonist and really acted as the audience’s eyes but she is not entirely immune to temptation The way she wavers is so human and the conflicts she encounters are both mental and physical I loved the way Bovalino explores family ties the entire central cast of characters is so fractured and fascinating to read about particularly the speech about being asexual This representation is not something you see too often in books and Bovalino brings sensitivity and authenticity to it Bovalino really taps into that environment of small town superstitions it speaks to folklore of old and the knowledge of something beyond It pays homage to the history embedded in these small towns and the way that traditions are upheld this is a book about temptation and damnation in a way that examines societal pressures and judgements It asks why society deems certain values and people as forever unsullied and others as above judgement Not Good For Maidens is one of those books you cannot get out of your brain and emotionally fraught book centring on trauma Not Good For Maidens is available from Amazon, Book Depository Salem’s Lot meets The Darkest Part of the Forest in this horror-fantasy retelling of Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market.” See alsoReview: Reclaim the Stars: 17 Tales Across Realms & Space Lou never believed in superstitions or magic–until her teenage aunt Neela is kidnapped to the goblin market This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page The 20 high school juniors from the area competing April 20 for the Beaver County Outstanding Young Woman title are: is the daughter of Rondal and Valerie Alexander is the daughter of Victor and Jane Bovalino is the daughter of Dawn Baylis and James Brewer Her talent is a self-choreographed flag routine is the daughter of Christopher and Valerie Coleman a Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School student is the daughter of Pam Gorski and Matthew Gorski.Her talent is contemporary dance is the daughter of Thomas and Linda Kohlman is the daughter of Michael and Christine Kopar is the daughter of Lamont and Marcia Liggett is the daughter of Chris and Lisa Leonberg is the daughter of Richard and Sheryl Lubic is the daughter of Jaymi Martella and Robert Martella is the daughter of Gary and Daina Vinciguerra Bovalino of Hopewell are proud to announce the graduation of their daughter Brittany has received her Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology and graduated Summa Cum Laude and has accepted a Psychology Research position Her future career goals are to conduct forensic psychological and investigative services 'It is what it is.'

"This policy does not ban anyone from visiting the center." Bovalino prefers to call the restriction a "parental escort policy," but that The policy isn't meant to address crime so much as unruly behavior by large groups of teens "It's really about enhancing the environment," said Bovalino The Galleria is one of four Pyramid malls to implement the escort policy this summer which held its own news conference yesterday Pyramid malls in Buffalo and Syracuse have had the policy in place for a few years Curfews are gaining popularity in enclosed shopping centers according to the International Council of Shopping Centers they have the right to set rules and regulations because they are private property," said Patrice Duker "The purpose of these policies isn't to say teens can't shop they're asking kids to bring a parent or guardian with them." Duker said that escort policies tend to help drive business to malls by promoting a family-friendly atmosphere All those parents bring disposable income to the mall Bovalino said the policy does tend to increase store sales but it also costs the mall hundreds of thousands of dollars for additional security staff 9 — the first Friday after Labor Day — those security workers will be deployed to the mall's entrances to check the photo identification of anyone who appears to be under 18 Anyone under 18 who shows up without an adult will be asked to leave he or she will be allowed to wait in the mall's community room Teens will still be allowed to patronize any business with its own outside entrance Mall and store employees under 18 will be allowed to work and to access common areas during their breaks Officials hope to educate the public about the change by displaying signs and handing out buttons that carry the slogan "The Galleria at Crystal Run is Rated MB18 (Must Be 18)." "I think it's wonderful," said Donna Aaron of Slate Hill as she reviewed an "MB18" flier yesterday "I think it's terrible," said her daughter director of the Tutoring & Study Center at Syracuse University has been named president of the National Association for Developmental Education IVAN PROANO has been elected president of the Oswego Hospital medical staff served as the group's vice president the year before He has had a practice in Oswego for the past 20 years He is a graduate of Albert Einstein College of Medicine BOVALINO has been hired as president of Action Cos. a hotel owner and operator based in Central New York and Quaker Steak and Lube restaurant franchisee Bovalino has been a senior vice president at Niagara Mohawk Power Corp which was part of the RGS Energy Group Inc.

The Tigers expect to shake the QAFL with their presence, after winning the south-east Queensland Division 1 flag for the past two seasons. “We’re a very proud club and we’ve been successful during the last couple of decades,” coach Adam Bovalino said. “Going into the premier competition, we’re definitely going to have some challenges, but I think we can not only be competitive but we’re going to be right up there … we’re aiming to contend.” Bovalino captained the Tigers to successive flags in 2010 and 2011 and the club has been a threat in the region since, claiming titles under his coaching in 2019 and 2020. “We’re a team that thrives on working hard for each other and we are super talented …. that makes it easier and it’s probably why we’ve been successful.” “Our standards and behaviours have probably got to go to another level, but I’m going to continue to go by the same philosophy, to develop young footballers and educate our young guys coming through.” More than 50 players attended their first session on December 3, along with another 30 for the women’s team. “There’s a fair bit of energy around the football club, on and off the field and the attitude of the players, you just sense there’s something pretty exciting happening at our club.” The Tigers have lost their best and fairest player from last year, Mitch Fraser, who has returned to family in Perth. Shane Hutchinson and Ben Collins have retired and will be assistant coaches. But Brett Meredith, Aaron Laskey, Jai Fitzpatrick and Tyler Stack are among the key players set to play again. “To see blokes like them get an opportunity to go to the next level is pretty exciting,” Bovalino said. They also expect several new players to shine for the team next season, when the Tigers will renew old rivalries with Maroochydore and Palm Beach. The return of the Sunshine Coast derby will be well received. “That’s pretty exciting and great for both clubs. We attract big crowds.” Noosa and Maroochydore met in grand finals of the south-east Division 1 competition in 2017, 2018 and 2019 before the Roos’ promotion to the state’s top tier in 2020. The Tigers lost the first two deciders before salvaging some redemption. “We also had a rivalry with Palm Beach back in the day. We beat them in a GF, and they beat us,” Bovalino said. The state league season is set to start in April.

Dr Jawad said choosing to stay in Bendigo was due to the variety of work he could do at Bendigo Primary Care but it was also what was best for his family "The first 12 months is a very steep learning curve..

having treatment in the hospital and the Leukaemia Foundation provided them with absolutely fabulous accommodation for the whole seven months “We were just so impressed with the accommodation that was

marathons back-to-back in less than 22 hours to arrive at Deakin Reserve early on Thursday morning It was more than two hours quicker than they had predicted a couple of days earlier when they saw the weather was forecast to be unseasonably warm for this time of year The pair set out from Epping at around 5.50am on Wednesday and ran 161km in their Under the Same Stars spinoff event to raise money for the same Salvation Army North East Youth Services youth homelessness cause A group of their family and friends gathered at the gates to welcome them while participants in the sleepout tossed and turned beneath makeshift cardboard teepees on their dampened cardboard mattresses spread across Deakin Reserve’s football oval The runners shuffled in the gates at 3.41am Mr Bovalino said they had taken turns experiencing highs and lows throughout their journey he said he’d experienced a rough patch around Wahring while his running companion had only begun to struggle around 5km from home It was the first time either runner had attempted a 161km run before with their next closest distance a far lesser While this run puts a tick against a bucket list item both agreed it was not a distance they would be attempting again any time soon “We could not have done it without our support crew,” Mr Bovalino said “They hand-fed us when we couldn’t hold anything gave us drinks and made us eat when we didn’t want to eat the cheeseburger at Seymour and various energy gels they weren’t chasing food at the finish line their appetites were for a hot shower and a long sleep OPERATING in business

community in a state of shock a fifty-year-old with a criminal record related to drugs was killed in an ambush that took place in front of his home raises disturbing questions about safety and crime in the area Polifroni was approached by unidentified individuals who invited him to leave the house he was hit by several bullets fired at close range The speed and brutality of the attack led to the instant death of the man leaving behind a climate of fear and uncertainty The Carabinieri of the Locri Company are already working to collect clues and testimonies that can clarify the dynamics of the event The investigations are focusing on several leads but one of the most accredited hypotheses is that of a murder linked to revenge in the context of drug trafficking had a criminal record and his life had been marked by episodes of crime Investigators do not exclude that the victim could have had debts or unresolved conflicts with other members of criminal circles The lack of witnesses and the clandestine nature of these activities further complicate the investigations This murder is not an isolated case in Locride an area sadly known for its connection with organized crime The local community is concerned about the increase in violence and the perception of insecurity that is spreading among citizens Local authorities are called upon to respond to this emergency strengthening security measures and collaborating with law enforcement to ensure the protection of residents The hope is that this tragic event can act as a catalyst for positive change leading to greater attention and more incisive interventions against crime Notizie.it is a newspaper registered with the Court of Milan n.68 on 01/03/2018 Impara come descrivere lo scopo dell'immagine (si apre in una nuova
