Peck Lake Protective Association We know little of John Peck’s motivation for coming to the southern Adirondacks - perhaps it was a fascination with the rolling hills, ponds, and marshes, the abundant fish and wildlife, and the isolation of the "wilderness". John Peck did not limit himself to the affairs of "Peckville", as it was called in those days. Peck’s Park was created to satisfy the demands of the public for private hunting and fishing grounds, with modern transportation and facilities. www.plpa.org /history   (3126 words)

American Masters . Gregory Peck | PBS For many, Peck was a symbol of the American man at his best - a pillar of moral courage and a constant defender of traditional values. It seems clear however, that the reason for Peck's constant assertion that TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is his best (and favorite) film, was the film's attention to the lives of children and the importance of family. For Peck, life as a father and as a public figure have been inseparable-; he was simultaneously a major voice against the Vietnam war, while remaining a patriotic supporter of his son who was fighting there. www.pbs.org /wnet/americanmasters/database/peck_g.html   (958 words)

DA probes child abuse allegations Peck said he received a great deal of information relating to the accusations during a meeting with diocesan officials yesterday afternoon, but he cautioned that it was too early to say whether any criminal charges would result from the complaints. Peck said the diocese did not identify the suspect priests at yesterday's meeting and he did not ask for their identities. Peck said it did not appear that all of the reported acts occurred in Westmoreland County. www.post-gazette.com /neigh_westmoreland/20020328statnick2.asp   (352 words)

Voice Literary Supplement: The Power of Myth John Henry Days is divided into two narrative streams, and it's the backstory, a sort of free-association pan-historical picking at the smorgasbord of the John Henry fable, that is, initially, most compelling. Though many of his characters are obsessed with whether or not John Henry actually existed, their quest is less a detective attempt to solve a mystery than a teleological yearning for universal revelation. Ostensibly he's there to prepare a piece on the festival, but in fact he's going for something the novel refers to enigmatically as "the record," which seems to mean the number of consecutive days that a journalist can freeload his way through the junket circuit. www.villagevoice.com /vls/175/peck.shtml   (1134 words)

Small Business: Low-cost bonds can help you expand your firm Peck, Shaffer and Williams LLP, with offices in Cincinnati and Atlanta, is accustomed to quarterbacking this kind of financing.

Peck estimates the company selling the bonds will have its money in less than 60 days from the time the bank issues the letter of credit. www.bankrate.com /brm/news/biz/Cashflow_banking/19991104.asp   (1130 words)

Rev. John Mason Peck (1887) Paul and Martha Peck emigrated from Essex Co., Eng., 1634, and settled at Hartford, Con., of which place he was one of the proprietors and where he died Dec. 23, 1695. John M. lived on his father's little farm and after his fourteenth year a large share of its cultivation was performed by him. At this age he was brought under a strong religious influence, and soon it became a serious alternative choice with him whether it was his duty to prepare himself for the ministry or remain upon the farm as the chief reliance of his poor and infirm parents. www.illinoishistory.com /peck-john-mason.html   (475 words)

Regola maintains he's innocent; D.A. says probe will continue   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Peck spoke at a news conference just hours after state Sen. Robert Regola III, R-Hempfield, was arraigned on charges that he lied under oath during a coroner's inquest into Louis' death and stored his gun in such a way that both his minor son and Louis had access to it. Peck noted the disconnect between a teen described by family and friends as a "well-loved, well-cared-for, well-adjusted young man" and that of someone who would take his own life. Peck had a different take, saying the freshman legislator's inquest testimony that his son never had possession of the gun in question, after telling troopers the opposite in their probe, was an attempt to "really derail the investigation. www.post-gazette.com /pg/07088/773481-59.stm   (929 words)

Evidence points to suicide in teen's death   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Westmoreland County District Attorney John W. Peck has informed hearing examiner Thomas J. Farrell that he agrees physical evidence and forensic testimony presented at a two-day coroner's inquest last month indicate a 14-year-old's death in July was an apparent suicide committed with a handgun owned by a state legislator. Peck indicated, state Sen. Robert Regola III may have committed crimes if he gave his 16-year-old son a 9 mm Taurus handgun -- the weapon used in the shooting death of Louis A.J. Farrell, who is not related to the hearing examiner. Peck wrote, "the Senator knew, as we all know, that children are curious and careless and accidents happen" and "giving the handgun to Bobby was an unlawful act and was in conscious disregard of a substantial and unjustifiable risk." www.post-gazette.com /pg/07065/767151-59.stm   (664 words)

John W. Campbell One of the records - and one of John’s favourites - was of a male voice choir rendition of “Waltzing Matilda”.

Nine-time drunken driver gets jail, fine Peck said the sentence was well above the mandatory minimum that applied to Uncapher, in this case 90 days in jail because this was his third drunken driving conviction in a seven-year period. One of Peck's assistants had offered Uncapher a plea bargain with a one-to-12 month sentence after his arrest in this case, but that proposal was withdrawn when Peck learned of Uncapher's drunken-driving history. Peck said as far as he could determine, nobody had been injured in any of Uncapher's drunken driving episodes. www.post-gazette.com /neigh_westmoreland/20000406drunk5.asp   (337 words)
