The scouting event featured agents, managers and casting directors from NYC, LA and Atlanta who provided insight about the acting/modeling industry.
The event was open to the public and showcased the talents of local actors, models, singers and dancers.
Skaters and friends came out to Woody's Skate Park on Saturday, June 21 to celebrate its 10 year anniversary and National Skateboarding Day.
While the third annual JCB Mud Run probably increased sales of soap, body wash and beer, Saturday’s event certainly helped young children in West Savannah.

According to JCB spokesperson Pam Veiock, the event raised over $100,000 for The Lady Bamford Center for Early Childhood Development, with a check presentation planned for this week at the center at 1410 Richards St.
This year, the event at JCB’s North American headquarters in Pooler also included the inaugural JCB Dig the Ride, a 5-mile all-terrain bike course with climbs, bridges, jumps and some speed areas for passing. All proceeds from both races went to The Lady Bamford Center.
The swiftest two-person team was Team JCB UK, which also won the 2013 JCB UK Mud Run, in 38 minutes and 1 second.
Veiock said the number of entries wasn’t available Saturday afternoon but it exceeded last year’s total of roughly 2,000.

GREENVILLE S.C.— A day after one of the most lopsided losses in franchise history, the Savannah Sand Gnats rebounded with a 7-6 win over Greenville in 11 innings.
The Gnats put a 21-1 loss against Greenville on Friday night by winning a nail-biter Saturday.
Savannah’s Champ Stuart drew a five-pitch walk off Taylor Grover to lead off the top of the 11th. He immediately stole second, his sixth steal of the season. Yeixon Ruiz flew out to right, deep enough for Stuart to tag up and advance to third. Victor Cruzado brought him in with the go-ahead run with a line-drive single to right.
All-Star reliever Akeel Morris came in to pitch the bottom half of the 11th and shut the door on Greenville by striking out Carlos Asuaje to end the game for his fourth save of the year. Morris lowered his ERA to 0.27.
The Gnats took the lead in the second when Nelfi Zapata stroked a one-out double to left field, and came around to score on a clutch two-out single to center by Jeff Glenn.
In the top of the fourth, Dominic Smith led off with a double to left. Zapata brought him home with a double to center. Stefan Sabol singled to move Zapata to third and then stole second — setting up a two-run single by Glenn that put the Gnats up 4-0.
Greenville rallied with three runs in the bottom of the fourth. Manuel Margot had an RBI single but was thrown out at second trying to stretch it into a double by Gnats center fielder Stuart. Later in the inning, Jake Romanski had an RBI double to left and eventually scored on Jimmy Rider’s single.
Savannah added two in the sixth when Jorge Rivero singled and moved to third on a double by Sabol. Glenn delivered again with his fourth RBI of the night, plating Rivero with a line-drive single to left. Sabol later scored on a force out by Ruiz.
But Greenville responded with a two-run single by Forrestt Allday in its half of the sixth.
Gnat reliever Hunter Carnevale entered in the bottom of the eighth with two outs and the bases loaded. But a passed ball by Glenn allowed Tzu-Wei Lin to score as Greenville tied it up at 6-6.
The bottom third of the Gnats lineup went 9 for 15 with five RBIs and four runs scored. Zapata had three doubles and went 3 for 5. Glenn was 3 for 5 with four RBIs and Sabol went 3 for 5 with a double, stolen base and run scored.

GREENVILLE — Greenville rode a pair of big innings to a 7-3 win over Savannah as the Drive managed to split the first series of the second half.
Trailing 3-1 heading into the bottom of the sixth, Greenville scored three runs in the sixth and three more in the seventh to secure the victory.
Savannah starter Chris Flexen had a solid outing — allowing three runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out five and walked two.
The Drive rallied in the sixth as Kendrick Perkins got things started with an RBI double. Paul Paez entered in relief of Flexen and walked Zach Kapstein. Perkins stole third base and scored on a throwing error, and Carlos Coste added an RBI single as the Drive took a 4-3 lead.
Paez (0-1) was tagged with the loss after giving up four runs (one earned) and four hits in 2 1/3 innings.
In the seventh, Perkins drove in a run with a groundout and Kevin Mager hit a two-run double to highlight an inning that started with the leadoff batter reaching base on an error by Gnat third baseman Nelfi Zapata.
Greenville got solid outing from three pitchers. Myles Smith started — allowing a pair of runs in four innings. Mike Adams picked up his second win of the year in three innings of relief. He allowed one run and struck out three. And Pete Ruiz closed things out with two innings of shutout relief.
The Gnats scored in the second on a sacrifice fly by Stefan Sabol. Savannah added a run in the third after Patrick Biondi led off with a single, advanced to second on a balk and scored on a groundout by Victor Cruzado.
In the sixth, Gnat second baseman Jorge Rivero led off with a walk and scored on a double by Colton Plaia.
Savannah travels to Charleston and opens a series with the RiverDogs tonight at 7:05. The Gnats return home to Grayson Stadium Friday night when they start a four-game set with Rome.

Operation Cross Country is part of the Innocence Lost National Initiative that was established in 2003 by the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division, in partnership with the Department of Justice and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, to address the growing problem of child prostitution.
To date, the FBI and its task force partners have recovered more than 3,400 children from being exploited. The investigations and subsequent 1,450 convictions have resulted in lengthy sentences, including 14 life terms.
These FBI-led task force operations usually begin as local enforcement actions that target truck stops, casinos, street “tracks,” and websites that advertise dating or escort services, based on intelligence gathered by officers working in their respective jurisdictions.
Initial arrests are often violations of local and state laws relating to prostitution or solicitation. Information gleaned from those arrested frequently uncovers organized efforts to prostitute women and children across many states.
FBI agents further develop this evidence in partnership with the U.S. Attorney’s Offices and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section so that prosecutors can help bring federal charges in those cities where child prostitution occurs.
The FBI Atlanta Office thanks its law enforcement partners participating in Operation Cross Country VIII and their ongoing enforcement efforts regarding child exploitation matters. Those agencies include: Marietta PD, Department of Juvenile Justice, Cobb County PD, Cobb County District Attorney’s Office, Atlanta PD, Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, Gwinnett PD, Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office , Dekalb County PD, Dekalb County District Attorney’s Office, Hapeville PD, Clayton County PD, Clayton County Sheriff’s Office, Clayton County District Attorney’s Office, Clayton County Solicitor’s Office, Sandy Springs PD, Smyrna PD, Alpharetta PD, U.S. Attorney’s Office/Northern District of Georgia, Bibb County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Unit (SIU), Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, Pooler PD, Effingham County Sheriff’s Office, Liberty County Sheriff’s Office, Hinesville PD, Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Georgia State Pardons and Parole, and the Georgia Department of Family and Children’s Services.
The FBI would also like to acknowledge and thank those non-government organizations for their contributions and assistance: Georgia Cares, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and the Rainbow House.
The public should be reminded that the above are merely allegations and that all persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Riverview Health & Rehabilitation Center (Riverview) has been awarded the 2014 Bronze - Commitment to Quality Award.
The award is the first distinction through the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award program, which honors skilled nursing and post-acute care centers across the nation that have demonstrated their commitment to improving quality care for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Skilled nursing centers begin the quality improvement process at the Bronze level, where they develop an organizational profile with fundamental performance elements such as vision and mission statements and an assessment of customers’ expectations. Trained examiners review each Bronze application to determine if the center has met the demands of the criteria.
Riverview has not only successfully applied the criteria of the National Quality Award program, but demonstrated a true commitment for improving lives through quality care.

Barnard, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in Business Administration and Management; Maureen S. O'Sullivan, Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting.
'Slavery and Freedom in Savannah' project recognized with Leadership in History prize
"Slavery and Freedom in Savannah," a multi-year project encompassing a major publication, a museum exhibition, a three-day city symposium, and multiple community partnerships —organized by Telfair Museums— has received the Award of Merit from the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH). The program called the Leadership in History Awards, now in its 69th year, is the most prestigious recognition for achievement in the preservation and interpretation of state and local history.
"Slavery and Freedom in Savannah," a book published earlier this year, provides insight into urban life across 300 years of Georgia history. It includes a variety of perspectives on slavery, emancipation, and black life in Savannah from the city’s founding to the early 20th century. Written by leading historians of Savannah, the south, the United States, and England, the volume includes a mix of longer thematic essays and shorter sidebars focusing on individual people, events, and places. Published by the University of Georgia Press, the book was edited by Leslie Harris, associate professor of history and African American studies and Winship Distinguished Research Professor at Emory University in Atlanta, and Daina Ramey Berry, associate professor of history and African and African diaspora studies and George W. Littlefield Fellow in American History at the University of Texas at Austin.
The Slavery and Freedom in Savannah project is part of Telfair Museums’ ongoing efforts to document the lives and labors of the African Americans—enslaved and free—who built and worked at the original Telfair historic homes, the Owens-Thomas House and Telfair mansion. In particular, the work explores ways in which the ownership and trade of slaves provided the foundation for the wealth and worldview of the owners of these historic sites—the Richardsons, Owens, and Telfair families.
The corresponding Slavery and Freedom in Savannah exhibition, on display at the Jepson Center through Aug. 31, uses a collection of historic objects and stories to illustrate the themes in the book. The exhibit’s images, documentary accounts, furniture, and display items from Telfair historic homes and other collections in Savannah are designed to provide a deeper understanding of a history rarely examined and known by relatively few people.
Community partnerships for the symposium, exhibition, and book launch included Live Oak Public Libraries, City of Savannah, University of Georgia Press, Beach Institute, the First African Baptist Church, the Second African Baptist Church, Armstrong State University, Savannah College of Art and Design, Savannah State University, and Windsor Forest High School.
