We have heard that the Verizon cell tower located in Warner has not been working correctly - Or so a Verizon rep. explained when asked why cell bars were "no service" to "one bar" over the past several weeks. There is no ETA on when the tower will be fixed. If you have noticed that cell coverage is mostly red/yellow instead of green on our streets perhaps a call to Verizon will add incentive to speed up any fix?

Two young women from totally different backgrounds are thrown together during World War II: one a working-class girl from Manchester, the other a Scottish aristocrat, one a pilot, the other a wireless operator. Yet whenever their paths cross, they complement each other perfectly. But then a vital mission goes wrong, and one of the friends has to bail out of a faulty plane over France. She is captured by the Gestapo and becomes a prisoner of war. The story begins in "Verity's" own words, as she writes her account for her captors.
