Ukrops becomes Martin's

By Elise Reinemann | April 22, 2010

After years of serving the local Richmond community, the Village Ukrop's will re-open as Martin's Food Market on Monday, April 26, following a week-long, multi-million dollar renovation. Since the announcement of the sale of the 25 Richmond and Williamsburg area Ukrop's stores to Ahold's Giant-Carlisle division, which operates Martin's, at least five Ukrop's stores have been temporarily closed in waves so that they can be renovated. "We are making a significant and a multi-million dollar investment in each of the stores to improve the overall shopping experience," Martin's spokeswoman Tracy Pawelski said. Pawelski said the new amenities would vary by store, but that all the stores would be upgraded with new decor, improved lighting and new technology.

The biggest challenges facing the team as it heads into A-10 conference play are consistency and finding the right pitching lineup.

New York Times bestselling author holds lecture

By Elise Reinemann | March 23, 2010

The literary world needs to forget preconceived notions of fiction and nonfiction and develop new forms of literature that mimic the digital, fast-paced developments of the 21st century, New York Times bestselling author David Shields said to an audience of about 60 people on Monday night. In a lecture titled "Genre is a Minimum Security Prison," Shields spoke on his 10th book, "Reality Hunger: A Manifesto," which argues for a more sophisticated notion of nonfiction writing that would keep up with contemporary society. The rapt audience in the Brown-Alley Room listened as Shields argued that the typical old and crumbling forms of literature were not meeting the need for reality in today's society. Shields said his book argued for a more sophisticated notion of nonfiction as an art, where writers could borrow from previous writers.

By Elise Reinemann | February 17, 2010

The harsh cold and snow haven't stopped the women's golf team from preparing for its spring season. Members of the team have been preparing by putting in their rooms, working out four times a week and practicing their swings in an indoor facility at the Robins Center, which coach Jill Briles-Hinton set up with cameras, said senior Annie Sprick and freshman Grace Kingdom.
