And then Rivera was there, her strong arms reassuring and welcoming, her smile unforced and full of promise. “Sure I do,” said Rivera. “Good things come to those who don’t panic.”

“Girls, sit down,” said Miss Maddie. “Jude, give Angie a glass of wine.”

“Wine would be nice,” Angie said. “Some answers would be even better.” She looked right at Miss Zula when she said this, and for once got a look in return that was completely open.

“You’ll get those, too,” Miss Zula said. “Today, Angeline Mangiamele, you’ll get just about anything you can bring yourself to ask for.”

NEWS ABOUT TOWN

OP-TV public access television is looking for folks who want to develop innovative ideas for new programming. If you’ve been watching since Tony Russo took over as director, you’ll have a sense of what they’re looking for, such as Kai Watanabe’s program on philosophy and religion. This week she will be talking to Win Walker and Walker Winfield on definitions of God and goodness. There’s a rumor that Markus Holmes has convinced Miss Zula Bragg and Mrs. Button Ogilvie to debate their views on Ogilvie’s past, on his new program called Stories and Histories. Anybody interested in learning more about video filming and television production is welcome to attend an introductory evening, to be held at Ogilvie College, where Tony is director of the Film and Video Production Center.

Patty-Cake Walker has recently received her Georgia State certification as a dental hygienist. You’ll find her at Dr. Tab Darling’s office five days a week. Come by and let her polish up your smile.

Miss Junie Rose tells us that our own Caroline Rose is at the top of her class at the Culinary Institute in Hyde Park, New York. Once she’s finished with her studies, Caroline intends to open a new restaurant called Southern Comfort in Hoboken, New Jersey.

If you’ve been following our coverage you’ll know that Zula, the documentary that premiered at the college’s 150-year anniversary celebration this past June, has received prizes and honors at film festivals from California to France. Tied to the Tracks has begun work on a new documentary on the North-South cultural divide, with funding from the NEA and other organizations. If you’ve got stories to share, please contact the Tied to the Tracks branch office on Main Street, make an entry in the new memory book at the Piggy Wiggly, or stop by John and Angie’s. They’d be pleased to see you, anytime.

AUTHOR’S NOTE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Zula Bragg is an entirely fictional character, and so is everybody else in this novel. Thus: any resemblance to persons living or dead is entirely coincidental, and the figment of somebody else’s imagination.
