Mann says this is an opportunity for students to learn (and begin learning) an instrument together as a team and in age groups. "I'm treating this like a sport," Mann said. "We will have teams and they will work together." Teams will be made up of third graders to adults. One team will be 3-5th graders, another 6-8th graders and the third team will high school students to adults. Students will learn the basic techniques of playing the violin, viola and cello, as well as reading music and playing music in a group setting. (There are instruments for rent if needed). Team members will be allowed to pick their own instruments from violin, viola, cello. As many as 14 can be on one team and a minimum of six on the team. The teams will meet at different times to practice each Tuesday afternoon at the Presbyterian Church in Forest City. "Our goal is to be able to play the game, 'a concert', at the end of the session probably in December," Mann said. "There will be some type of games played throughout the year at different venues,." Mann is working on the possibility to offer scholarships in the future to some students if necessary. If there is more than one child in a family interested in the league, discounts will be offered. Sign ups are underway and Mann has extended the sign-up days hoping to reach more students on each team. Not only is the orchestra league an opportunity to learn an instrument, with peers, Mann's vision for the program eventually is to raise up musicians who could play in local groups, such as the Symphony of Rutherford County. "There aren't as many young people in the symphony," Mann said. He hopes with the formation of the orchestra league, more young people will be interested in playing in a group setting and in the future play in the symphony. Anyone interested in the orchestra league can call 828-289-5880. Article & Photo Provided By: Jean Gordon Orchestra League Coach Eben Mann Like sports? Try the orchestra league Bed Bath & Beyond declared bankruptcy and closed its physical stores in recent months. It was then acquired by furniture and home furnishings e-retailer Overstock.com, a BBB Accredited Business, which rebranded its website and mobile app to Bed Bath & Beyond in the U.S. in early August. Scammers are taking advantage of the big changes by targeting unsuspecting consumers with fake "going out of business" sales. Here's what you need to know to spot the scam. How the scam works You see an ad on social media for massively marked- down Bed Bath & Beyond products. It's a going-out-of- business sale, and the prices are too good. The website you are directed to looks legitimate, with the Bed Bath & Beyond logo and product information. However, a closer look at the domain name or email address reveals you aren't on the offi cial website. One consumer shared the following experience: "I saw an ad for Bed Bath & Beyond on Facebook. The sale seemed safe, and I knew that the company was closing some of their stores. I ordered a couple items and paid with my debit card. I did not notice anything fi shy with the website. Months later, I had not received any products or messages from them. I tried to look up my order and found it was not the right website, so now I have no order number or information about the company." Shoppers report making purchases and never receiving the products they ordered. Emails to the impostor company typically go unanswered. However, in some cases, the scammers reply, only to state the product was accidentally delivered to another state – an issue they should take up with the United States Postal Service. In reality, the website was fake, and the discounted products never existed. Bed Bath & Beyond is working to uncover and remove all impostor websites. "With the increased attention we've seen surrounding the launch of the new Bed Bath & Beyond website, scammer sites are more prevalent. To protect consumers, we are diligently working with federal authorities to help shut down these fraudulent sites," said Jonathan Johnson, Chief Executive Offi cer of Bed Bath & Beyond. How to avoid impostor website scams • Always double-check the URL. Scammers love to build fake websites that look like the real thing. Often, the URL is only off by a letter or two. Take a moment to ensure you are on the offi cial website by looking closely at the URL. Bed Bath & Beyond's offi cial websites are www.bedbathandbeyond. com in the U.S. and www. bedbathandbeyond.ca in Canada. • Go directly to the offi cial website instead of clicking on ad links. Con artists can make ads claiming to be legitimate businesses, but the link takes you to a completely different website. Look up deals featured in ads by typing the business's URL directly in the browser bar instead of clicking through an ad. If you can't fi nd the special deal anywhere, the ad may have been a fake. • Be wary of deals that sound too good to be true. This beloved scam tactic plays on people's desire to get a great deal on something. If a price sounds too good to be true, stay skeptical. Verify the source and the deal before you make a purchase. • Use your credit card for online purchases. Credit cards offer certain protections your debit card doesn't. For example, credit cards will allow you to contest charges if you accidentally purchase from a fraudulent website.
