NEWPORT-Madge Thombs is a Catholic here in the Newport community and can remember when Pope John Paul II was elected pope and how it was a very exciting time for the Catholic Church. “He was very different compared to previous popes. He

skied down mountains, spoke many languages fluently, and flew around the

world to meet his flock,” says Thombs.

Singer/songwriter and recording artist, Syd, will perform Wednesday, March 2, at Salve Regina University. The performance will be part of the coffeehouse presentation which the Salve Campus Activities Board (CAB) puts on every other week throughout the semester.

Syd is a 22 year old pop/rock artist who plays the guitar and sings his own lyrics and is trying to make a name for himself around college campuses.

It seems fair to say that each day, when Jen Guertin arrives at work, she comes in contact with many different people.

We still don’t know who will pick up Pierce Brosnan’s license to kill in the next James Bond movie, due next year, but think young and tipsy.

Director Martin Campbell is going back to the beginning for “Casino Royale,” based on the first Bond adventure written by Ian Fleming in 1953- a novel that has nothing to do with the 1967 spoof starring David Niven and Woody Allen.
