Spice up your rice
If your family cries out "Chicken, again?" when you bring dinner to the table, then it's probably time to rev things up a bit. And the USA Rice Federation has a variety of recipes to help you "rice to the occasion." National Rice Month kicks off on Saturday, so why not try such elegant dishes as mandarin orange rice and shrimp lettuce wraps or red curry coconut rice with pork? Both call for a few creative ingredients and only take about 30 minutes of your time. "U.S. shoppers are increasingly exposed to new flavors and cuisines through travel, ethnic restaurants and cooking shows -- encouraging them to experiment more in their own kitchens," said Judy Rusignuolo, director of consumer education and foodservice marketing for USA Rice Federation. For the ninth annual Rev Up Your Rice recipe contest, the federation received more than 1,300 recipes from cooks around the nation.

First day goes smoothly in Whitfield, Dalton schools
Shortly after 8 a.m. Friday, following a morning convocation, students at Whitfield County's Westside Middle School walked to their classes through halls newly painted with colorful murals.It was the first day of classes in Dalton and Whitfield County schools.Principal Stan Stewart said Westside is enjoying new staff including a new counselor, Julie Wagner, and a new academic coach, Steven Ridley. The state placed "graduation coaches" in all high schools last year to help improve the graduation rate, and the idea filtered to the middle school level this year."Things are going great. We've got three good grade levels," Stewart said. "Probably close to half our student body is in single-gender classes this year, and we had more asking about it this morning. It's really catching on."Westside began grouping male and female students in separate classes on a voluntary basis last year, when about a quarter of the student body opted for the trial program.9 a.m.Construction workers were laying cinder block walls and building up from a concrete foundation beside Dalton's Brookwood Elementary School.A new classroom addition is taking shape on the building's east side, but principal Wil Esters said students hardly notice any noise.
