| Schoolfields Were Quakers, Fiery Attorneys
The early Schoolfields were Quakers, but some of the Chattanooga Schoolfields were fiery attorneys. One of the most colorful of all was Raulston Schoolfield.
The Schoolfields had estates near the River Roch near Manchester, England. Ellis Schoolfield was a farmer in Lancashire County, who married Alice Rawsthorn in 1666. Their son, John (1667), made his way to Pennsylvania. He had a son, John, who was born around 1700. In 1724, this John Schoolfield married Ann Lenoir, whose parents, Isaac and Ann Lenoir, were French Hugenots who had been banished from Arcadia. The marriage was in Bucks County, Pa. John and Ann Schoolfield had nine children.
One of these was David Schoolfield, who was born in 1736 - the same year the Schoolfield home burned. They were living at the time at Lakasha Village.

BETHLEHEM, Conn., Jan. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Old Man Winter produced several surprises for Connecticut early this season, and more residents are turning to home standby generators to combat the resulting power outages.

City give Leader a birthday present
WINCHESTER CITY came up with the perfect birthday present for manager Andy Leader on Saturday. After a string of poor performances and a somewhat lacklustre first half, two goals from skipper Dave Allen were enough to provide Leader with a win - albeit against Slough Town a side third from bottom in the table. A 0-0 half-time scoreline wasn't exactly the many happy returns' 43-year-old Leader had hoped for. But he was not afraid to change things and, having dropped Adam George and Richard Gregory to the bench in the wake of the latest defeat - 2-0 at Thatcham - he sent them both on after an hour for Paul Taplin and James Knight. Four minutes later his boldness was rewarded when man-of-the-match Aaron Parfitt's fizzing, low drive was parried by keeper Richard Barnard for Allen to slot in the rebound at the far post.

Volcanic gas crimps Crater Rim Drive
HILO » Dangerously high levels of sulfur dioxide gas in a small but popular area of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park have officials warning visitors to stay in their cars with their air conditioner on re-circulation and to just drive through that area. The main area affected is a 5-mile stretch of Crater Rim Drive on the downwind, south side of Kilauea caldera. That means no stopping at a popular parking area at the beginning of a short path to Halemaumau Crater overlook. "Area closed due to dangerous volcanic gas. Stay in your car!" yellow-and-black warning signs say. The greatest danger is to babies and children, pregnant women and people with asthma or heart conditions, said spokeswoman Mardie Lane.
