A Breath Of Fresh Air

In case you were wondering where I'd been all week last week, I took some time out for rest and recreation from Campus on-air duties and Cinema One voiceovers.  It included a trek up to the nation's summer capital, Baguio City last Thursday through Sunday.  I'll fill in the details hopefully tomorrow.

But for now, I must give a ginormous shout out and thank you to Ms. Ana Agregado of Toyota Motor Philippines Marketing for being so gracious to provide me with the great ride I took up to Baguio in the form of the fantastic Innova V.  That vehicle did not hesitate one bit up the mountains and actually begged me to go faster, he he.  Thanks Ana!

Shoot the Messenger
Students at Brick Township (N.J.) High School say that teacher Stuart Mantel often “went nuts” when they didn’t properly respect the national anthem. One student brought in a video camera “to expose the teacher in case he did anything again.” Apparently he did: the resulting video allegedly shows Mantel screaming at students who talked during the anthem, and yanking a chair from under one who did not stand. There is no law or school requirement for students to stand during the anthem. After the video was made public, school officials took strong, decisive action: the student who made the recording was suspended for 10 days, and the school moved to prohibit cameras in classrooms. The teacher was not disciplined. (Asbury Park Press) ...Respect is taught by example, not by force.
