M. Barrie's imperishable \"Peter Pan,\" is back. And once more, the little boy who wouldn't grow up is diverting those who haven't yet grown up (and their parents), this time at the Theater at Cypress Creek Elementary School.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe famous theatrical play of Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie was performed  by the students of Cypress Creek Elementary School in Port Orange. The ensemble included a large number of Spruce Creek Fly-In kids attending the popular school.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe medium for telling the tale 101 years after its first appearance onstage is this production starring 9-year-old Nicole Bravo, who played the role of Peter Pan. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe story, for those who have not seen some version, is of the playful spirit who is Pan (Nicole Bravo). He comes visiting the children of the Darling household from the mystical place called Neverland. After Pan loses his shadow (Meryl  Liu), Wendy Darling (Chloe Arlow) helps him get it back and Pan ends up bringing all three children flying with him back to his Neverland. Neverland is comprised of smaller regions, one with Indians, one with pirates, one with the foundling Lost Boys.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cspan id\u003d\"fullpost\"\u003ePan is in a constant war with Captain Hook (Zachary Fedea). He fights Hook while trying to play father to the Lost Boys who need a mother. Pan wants Wendy to be a mother to the lost boys. Tink (Marta Zerukha), though incompatible with Peter, is jealous of female competition for Peter's attentions. This Tinkerbell played a delightfully sweet role despite the writer's original intentions of a mischieving fairy. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eBut despite the famous resurrection of the moribund Tinker Bell, the perils of the lagoon in Neverland, the conflicts between Lost Boys and Indians, the menace of poisons and crocodiles, and the vigorous dances of Tiger Lily (Nikki Nguyen) and the Indians, the show grips the audience when Zachary Fedea as the comically villainous Captain Hook appears, assisted by his sidekick, Mr. Smee  (Hallie Williams).\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe show culminates with one last encounter with his archenemy Peter pan. Pan has his final bout with Hook in a sword fight which he deftly wins to the cheers of the Lost boys, Indians and the Darling children.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThis is a feast for the eyes and these kids have made an unforgettable performance.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe shows were held May 27th and 28th at the Cypress Creek Elementary School's  Auditorium. The producers were teachers Kimberly Krivich and Julia West. The cast included students from Mrs. West's First Grade Class and Ms. Krivich's Fourth Grade Class.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eNicole Bravo, the daughter of Carlos and Patricia Bravo, is an accomplished pianist and straight-A student and this is her first theatrical performance.

By Heidi Turner  \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eWashington, DC: You think that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the US Department of Transportation (DOT) are supposed to protect you from plane crashes so it may come as a surprise that both organizations are being sued for allegedly failing to act on safety recommendations. Yet that is exactly what has happened: two transportation safety organizations have been accused of allowing airplane crashes to occur because of their own inaction.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe National Air Disaster Alliance/Foundation (NADA) has filed the lawsuit, saying that the FAA and DOT have allowed plane crashes to occur by not following the recommendations made by the National Transportation Safety Board. Specifically, recommendations made on the NTSB's \"Most Wanted Transportation Safety Improvements,\" which dealt with defects in plane design or flight operations, were allegedly ignored, resulting in plane crashes that could have been avoided, had the recommendations been followed.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe Alliance refers to such crashes as \"déjà vu disasters.\" The phrase refers to plane crashes that are similar to those who have happened before and may have been prevented if the FAA had taken action on NTSB safety recommendations that were made 15 years ago. Such disasters include plane crashes involving plane icing—a possible cause of the February 12 crash that killed all 49 people on board and 1 man on the ground.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cspan id\u003d\"fullpost\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\"As a direct result of the DOT and FAA refusal to adopt the safety recommendations of the NTSB, hundreds of lives have been needlessly lost,\" the lawsuit states. The lawsuit demands that the FAA adopt NTSB recommendations regarding icing and runway safety. Some of those recommendations are over 15 years old, while others are over 10 years old. The lawsuit does not seek monetary damages.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe NTSB has deemed the FAA's lack of action on its recommendations as \"unacceptable.\" In a recent edition of its \"Most Wanted Transportation Safety Improvements,\" the NTSB stated, \"Before another accident or serious incident occurs, the FAA should evaluate all existing turbo propeller-driven airplanes in service using the new information available\" regarding freezing rain. NADA notes that during the 15 years that the FAA has studied airplane icing there have been 3 turboprop plane crashes and 100 casualties.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eCritics of the FAA and DOT say that they are too close to the airline industry to properly regulate and investigate it, even allowing people hired by airlines to participate in investigations. People who have lost loved ones in plane crashes say they back the lawsuit and it is time for the FAA to take passenger safety seriously.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe National Air Disaster Alliance/Foundation was founded by air crash survivors and family members of victims to raise the standard of safety for airplane passengers.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eSource: lawyersandsettlements.com\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cdiv class\u003d\"blogger-post-footer\"\u003e© 2008 Karlhaus LLC -

The Gaggle Flight Team is composed of residents of the Spruce Creek Fly-in which graciously donate their time and aircraft to complement many area events.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eResidents braved the cold weather with temperatures dropping all the way down to 49° F, considered \"cold\" in the balmy North-East Florida area. All attending the event were treated with delicious country fried chicken and baked beans while socializing with fellow neighbors. In addition, there were several tables with desserts ranging from home made cookies to brownies and cakes. Soft drinks for the kids and beer kegs for the grey-haired kids were also served, all free of charge and sponsored by the Community Relations Committee of the Spruce Creek Property Owners Association.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe bonfire at the center of the event brought warmth and a festive atmosphere. There was also a smaller bonfire where the children's roasted marshmallows.
