To do so, she will have to defy her father, King Triton, and strike a deal with the sea witch, Ursula. Along the way, her friends Flounder, Sebastian, and Scuttle help her fi nd love, win over Eric, and defy Ursula.

In 1990, Kathie Burgin had a vision to create a Chil- dren's Workshop Theater during the summer vacation months. She was looking for a Children's Theater opportunity for her daughter, Quinn. The closest Children's Theater was located in Charlotte. Many stu- dents who came through Shelby High Theatre started in the children's theater workshop. Now named in her memory, the Kathie Burgin Children's Workshop Theater is the 2nd lon- gest running children's theater in North Carolina. It is held each summer in Malcolm Brown Auditorium at Shelby High School. For three weeks in July, the workshop offers children from across Cleveland County and its neighbors the oppor- tunity to learn the art of theatre. By performing onstage in a musical production, children overcome shyness, learn to ac- cept constructive criticism, and build confi dence. They also make friends, and with those friends they learn what it takes to create something bigger and more complex than they could create alone.

Lafayette St. Shelby, NC Across From First Baptist Church www.witherspooninsurance.com The "Dog Days" of summer last from July 3 to August 11. The phrase "Dog Days" conjures up the hottest, most sultry days of summer. In ancient Greece and Rome, the Dog Days were believed to be a time of drought, bad luck, and unrest, when dogs and men alike would be driven mad by the extreme heat! Today, the phrase doesn't conjure up such bad imagery. Instead, the Dog Days are associated purely with the time of summer's peak temperatures and humidity. from The Old Farmer's Almanac
