Kyle and Kaylin would like to extend warm wishes for a Merry Christmas to all of Quick News' readers, advertisers, and supporters.

We are very excited about the upcoming year and everything it holds for Quick News!

Santa keeps a long list of children who have been good throughout the year. His list grows longer each year due to the world's increasing population.

Though his list gets longer, Santa still has to deliver all of the presents in the same amount of time. If one were to assume he works in the realm of standard time, he would need to limit his stay to about three ten-thousandths of a second per home!

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, in cooperation with the firm named below, announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product.  The toys recalled are Carter's Hug N Tug Monkey and Sassy Hug N Tug Puppy and Monkey.  These toys were sold nationwide at Toys 'R Us, Target, and other retailers listed below.

Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.

First please note that Thursday’s girls game at South Callaway will be varsity only.  Game time remains at 6 p.m.

We’ve had numerous cancellations on our 9th grade schedules due to other schools not having enough kids to field three teams.

At the same time, we have a lot of freshmen boys and girls playing basketball this year, most of which will not get a chance to compete at the JV level.

Therefore, the 9th grade schedules have been completely “re-worked” in an effort to find more games for both our girls and boys.

Santa is “making a list and checking it twice” to make sure he sees lots of boys and girls at the Walt Theatre on December 8, 2012.   The doors open at 12:30 p.m.

The film “An Elf’s Story” will be shown at 1:00 p.m.  Santa will visit with all the children after the film.  Free photographs will be taken of the children by Tony Carosella

For the past five years the New Haven Preservation Society has sponsored this time-honored tradition of “Santa at the Walt” in Downtown New Haven.

Happy Thanksgiving from Quick News! 

We are thankful for our devoted readers and the communities who support us.

We hope that your Thanksgiving is plentiful and filled with joy.
