• CONFER: Choosing a trade over college, part II When I was in high school some 20-plus years ago, BOCES was considered a dumping ground; those who pursued the vocational arts were looked at - by school administrators, parents, and peers alike -- as sub-par students, kids who weren't bright enough to hack the standard path of high school education, let alone the rigors of college. Times have changed and vocational education has become more acceptable to mainstream education but, still, a lot of today's parents who were educated during that era still carry some long-held (and totally unacceptable) disdain for the program.

• BRADBERRY: The week the earth stood still Only four years old when Klaatu and his metallic sidekick, Gort first landed on movie screens across the country in the wildly popular "The Day the Earth Stood Still" I was much too young to have seen and appreciated the initial release in 1951, but when I finally did see it on television ten or so years later, it left a lasting impression; it haunted me, it still does, but now more so.
