The Rockport-Fulton High School class of 2008 graduated about 175 seniors during a commencement ceremony Friday, May 30 at Pirate Stadium, marked with special messages and music.
Senior Kelsey Balentine sang the National Anthem and honor students David Snyder and Anita Worthington, respectively, led the Pledge of Allegiance and presented the invocation. In her welcome, RFHS Principal Tisha Piwetz urged the graduates to go forward and show class, have pride, and display characer. Salutatorian Marene Brant's “all the World's a Stage,” speech likened the students move from high school to other things in life as moving on to a bigger, better auditoroium etc. Valedictorian Ashleigh Kuertz used the words from the Beatles' “All You Need” song to provide words of wisdom to her fellow graduates.
Brant and Dustin Barre perfromed a duet, “The Journey,” to inspire their classmates.
After diplomas were presented, honor student Brittany Floyd presented the benediction, then students marched away to the recessional music, gathered near the east goal post, and tossed their mortarboards to officialy signal the end of the ceremony.
Most seniors then headed to the RFHS commons for a night of activities at Project Graduation.

Instead of presenting this to the scientific world in a peer reviewed journal, these guys publish it in this book in an attempt to sway public opinion. I could go on as many of the statements in this article are misleading, or blatantly ludicrous. Suffice it to say, it looks to me like this book is much more about influencing public opinion than any scientific review of whether human activity is causing climate change.
It is sad some people will believe this as fact. "
