Where kids rule
He came home taller, tanner, dirtier and thinner. The dry desert air even improved his asthma. "I'm also a better listener and better socially with kids," said Eric, a 14-year-old from Morris Township. "I respect others' viewpoints more." This incoming Morristown High School freshman participated in the CBS reality show "Kid Nation," scheduled to premiere Sept. 19 at 8 p.m. The 13-episode series, filmed in April and May, brings together 40 youths, ages 8-15, to build and run their own grownup-free Old West town, Bonanza City, N.M., where kids rule. No parents allowed. This means no adults to cook meals, wash and fold laundry, or nag them -- lovingly, of course -- to clean up after themselves. Perhaps the four elected kid leaders will take on a grownup role and set some ground rules.
Tennis star serves a return
BLUEFIELD, Va. — Marianna Sarver was a tennis standout.She ranked among the nation's best on the junior circuits, played one year for Bluefield High School, and followed that with three seasons at Wake Forest.Then, Sarver packed up and left for California. Tennis became an afterthought. She was a chef for about 12 years, followed by several years as a social worker. She's back. Tennis, and family, are a big reason why. Sarver's brother, Steve, the owner of Sedgewood Tennis Club encouraged a return to Bluefield. So did her mother, Joy. Not only will Sarver be back home on a permanent basis for the first time in 18 years, but she'll also work as an instructor at Sedgewood and will help promote tennis for the West Virginia Mid-Atlantic Region of the United States Tennis Association in southern West Virginia and southwest Virginia.
