Does Your TV "SUCK™ CALL FUMANTI WIRELESS Kids raise money for African children A group of Back Mountain youngsters recently raised more than $200, which will be donated to help children in Afri- ca. The kids made and sold “friendship bracelets” woven from colored thread and sold them during the summer at the Newberry Estate Country Club pool. The idea for the fund-raiser was the brainchild of Maggie Fannick, who learned about poverty in Africa during a Weekly Reader story in school last spring. Fannick and her friends raised $211.41 by selling of the bracelets for 50 cents. They sold them while they were on vacation at the beach and in their front yards. The money is being sent to the children of southern Sudan, Western Up- per Nile, Nimne. At the Newberry pool, from left, are Kelly Anderson, Jack Ziemba, Jenny Cave, Maggie Fannick, Madison Ziemba and Emma Niznik. Below, also help- ing to sell the bracelets, from left, first row are Jason Ander- son, Michael Anderson and Cal- li Amadio. Second row: Lily Amadio, Jenny Cave and Kelly Anderson.

PT CRUISERS Continued from Page 1 $1,000 in our first attempt went beyond our expectations.” The Nultons are parents of two children including 13-year- old Jordan, who has a form of au- tism called Asperger's Syn- drome. When the PT Cruisers were looking for a fund-raising cause, they didn’t have to look very far. “It was easy choice,” said Tim Nulton. “It’s something that’s near and dear to our heart. We did this not just for my son, but for the many, many people in our area who have (autism).” Nulton started the organiza- tion in spring 2004 after pur- chasing a purple PT Cruiser. Al- though he found many PT Cruiser groups while surfing the Internet, he didn’t find a lo- cal one. So, he started his own. The group is more to approxi- mately 25 active members - in- cluding more than a half-dozen Back Mountain residents — and will be featured in an upcoming edition of the national magazine Cruiser Quarterly. The group is already looking forward to next year’s “Fundrj 4 A Cause 2.” “9 “Our goal next year is going to be $2,000,” said Nulton, who hopes to see at least 35 cars at next year’s event. “Some people have told me that’s quite a goal, but this year we were able to raise more than $1,000 and we only had six months to plan. Now, we have an entire year. If we keep receiv- ing the overwhelming support, there’s no doubt we can do it.” GREEN Continued from Page 1 Instead, Green has continued to play her role of captain for the Mountaineers. She attends ev- ery Dallas practice and game, serving as a source of inspira- tion to her teammates. And her head coach. “I think the world of Caity,” . said Dallas coach Mike Wil- liams. “A lot of athletes would have turned their back and tried to forget the sport. That says so much about her character. Ev- eryone looks up to her. She brings a positive attitude to the practices and games.” It hasn't been . easy, says Green. “It’s been tough, emotionally, to watch the games, but volley- ball is the quintessential team sport,” she said. “I'm the team captain and I need to be there for my teammates — to cheer them on and let them know I support them.” The injury served as a crush- ing blow to the Mountaineers, who entered the season with hopes of making the playoffs. In- stead, Dallas was 1-3 through four conference games. “Caity was our leader on the court and she was 60 percent of our offense,” said Williams. “We've been struggling to find our offense.” Green — a talented actor w attended the prestigious Gover- nor’s School during the summer — undergoes two days of physi- cal therapy every week and is scheduled to have surgery in De- cember. The therapy and extra time before surgery should help expe- dite her recovery, which could take 4-9 months. But for now, Green says she has other work. “This season isn’t over,” she said. “There’s so much talent on this team. I have to get my team- mates to believe in themselves. If I can’t help them on the co I need to help them in any ol) way I can.” LEARN TO DANCE! +You Can Lean to Swing Dance, Waltz, Cha Cha, Rumba or even Salsa! + Meet New People, Make New Friends!
