Man who died at tennis courts in Bordeaux ID'd as CAHS teacher
ST. THOMAS - A man who died after an argument Saturday in Bordeaux was identified Monday as a 45-year-old physical education teacher at Charlotte Amalie High School. Police are still investigating the circumstances under which Charles Henry, who taught at the high school for a dozen years, unexpectedly died late Saturday near his home in Bordeaux. Officers responding to a report of a disturbance found Henry lying in the grass near a food cart in the area of the old tennis courts about 9 p.m., according to police. Henry's death was initially reported in the police blotter as a homicide. A preliminary investigation revealed no signs of foul play - shooting, stabbing or blunt force trauma, according to St. Thomas Police Chief Rodney Querrard. Henry returned to the Virgin Islands from Mississippi about 12 years ago and took a job at Charlotte Amalie, said Myron Corbett, the school's athletic director.
Higher education's Culture of Pizza
University Chancellor Jim Rogers is Nevada's foremost opponent to the government tightening its belt in these slowing economic times. He claims his university budget is already at the bare bones level and there just ain't no fat anywhere to be found. Indeed, in a letter he sent to Gov. Jim Gibbons last week, Rogers emphatically proclaimed, "It is my sincere belief that mandating an 8 percent cut of the (university) System's budgets will cause permanent and irreparable damage to higher education."
Really? I wonder if Mr. Rogers would be so kind as to 'splain to all of us taxpayers who are funding his system of "higher" education exactly what is so "higher" about the following UNLV and UNR courses and how cutting them would cause ANY harm whatsoever to "higher" education, let alone "permanent and irreparable damage."
