Events for 02/12/2009

Mock Trial Bowl

The Whitfield County Schools-Dalton Public Schools Mock Trial Bowl will be at the Whitfield County Courthouse in Dalton today and Friday. Seventeen teams from the two systems will participate. Teams are comprised of gifted fourth- and fifth-graders.
With the help and guidance of Dalton attorney Rick Brown and Superior Court Judge William Boyett, the students will try the case of State of Georgia vs. Hansel Schmidt and Gretel Schmidt.�The defendants are charged with aggravated battery, larceny and petit theft. They allegedly entered the gingerbread shop of Malvinia Crueller and stole pieces of cookies and candies, broke up Crueller�s gingerbread houses, and attempted to shove her into a hot oven. She suffered serious injuries.
The defendants, however, tell a different story: they say they were acting in self-defense.
There will be two sessions today, one from 9 to 11 a.m. and one from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Six county teams will face six Dalton teams.
On Friday there will be one session from 9 to 11 a.m. during which five county schools will face off.
All trials will be presided over by an actual attorney or judge. Some students in each trial will be presented a �Best Attorney� or �Best Witness� award. Parents and grandparents are invited to watch and be part of a jury in one of the courtrooms.�

'Roman Holiday' at DSC

Just in time for Valentine�s Day, Dalton State College�s Center for Continuing Education is offering a screening and discussion of the William Wyler 1953 black and white classic �Roman Holiday� tonight. The movie stars Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck.
Set in Italy�s �eternal city,� the film was named by the American Film Institute �one of the Top 10 romantic comedies of all time.� It features Hepburn as an exotic, but bored European princess with wanderlust and Peck as an American reporter who encounters her by chance. The film was Hepburn�s first and earned her an Academy Award.
Discussion of the film will be conducted by DSC associate professor of English Keith Perry. The program will be from 6 to 9 p.m. at the James E. Brown Center. Cost is $10. The easiest way to register is online at www.daltonstate.edu (click on Personal Growth) or by calling (706) 272-4454.
