A Michigan high school marching band had no football team to play for, but not too far away, a football team needed a band. Luckily, they found each other and completed the perfect pair.The match was made last Friday night when the Glen Lake Lakers football team heard that their neighboring Forest Area Marching Band had no one to play for after their football team's season was canceled -- Forest Area suspended its season due to low player participation.So, the Lakers invited the band to come play at theirs."No Friday night football game under those lights is complete without your sideline cheer team and a marching band," Mark Mattson, Assistant Principal and Athletic Director at Glen Lake, told CNN.Thrilled at the opportunity to perform for a crowd, the band quickly learned the Lakers' fight song. Meanwhile, an hour away, Glen Lake was adding extra seating and erecting tents to ward off the impending rain."They were just over the moon excited to go be able to play at a different location," Forest Area Principal Kelly Holeman told CNN. "It was something new and fun."The night ended in a victory for Glen Lake, played out against the backdrop of the music they've been lacking all season long.The Glen Lake athletic director said that the band undoubtedly made an impact on the atmosphere of the night."It didn't take long for the two schools to connect and become one in supporting each others' cause," Mattson said. He added they were welcome back anytime. 1485

A wedding is supposed to be the most beautiful day in a couple's life. But for thousands of couples this year, it's become a nightmare, because they have to cancel their reception, and couples are finding they can't get a refund due to the contract they signed months ago with their reception venue.Kristina Finley's dream wedding was scheduled for May 30, until COVID-19 and her governor changed her plans.Despite a state shutdown of big events, her mother, Becky Finley, said her daughter can't get her money back from her venue."She asked for a refund, and they said actually my daughter owed them the second half of the payment," Finley said.The wedding venue still has their ,500 deposit, half the total cost of the ,000 wedding and reception, the family said.It offered new dates next year, but Finley's daughter does not want to wait, and instead she has selected a small church wedding and backyard party for the original date."My daughter picked May 30, 2020. All the invitations, the pre-engagement announcements, everything had that date on it," Finley said. "And she said, 'I've been waiting a year for this, and I'm not going to reschedule.'"Rules vary by venueWhen it comes to weddings and other events, every event center has different rules.Some will give brides and grooms a refund if there is no other option, owner Drew Hester said.Drew Hester, owner of one hall, said that unlike many other halls, he has given full refunds to several brides, and he took the financial hit. "I just believe in karma. I believe in good," he said. "The emotional loss for them has been awful. You work with these brides for a year, and now they are devastated. And on top off that I am not going to say, 'You lost ,500, sorry.'"But many wedding contracts do not allow refunds; only credits toward a future date.What you can doForbes Magazine said many brides and grooms are facing thousands of dollars in losses this year due to canceled weddings. It suggests people:Request a refund as soon as possible; do not wait for the date to approach.Ask if you can get a discount for a smaller gathering, if they are still open.If they refuse a refund or discount, dispute the charge through your credit card if you paid the deposit that way.File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.If all else fails, contact a lawyer, who for a few hundred dollars can examine the contract and send a letter to the center explaining that since this is an "act of god," the contract should be null and void.Finley hopes to get something back, and said her daughter is just heartbroken having to cancel her dream reception."It's what every little girl dreams of, and it just fell apart," she said,One other option: Some reception centers have gardens where you can move everything outdoors, and where, if allowed by local laws, you can still have that dream wedding.________________________Don't Waste Your Money" is a registered trademark of Scripps Media, Inc.

A Northeast Ohio school district is trying to make sure students never go hungry or feel embarrassed if they can't pay for lunch.According to the School Nutrition Association, about 75 percent of school districts reported having unpaid student meal debt at the end of the 2016-2017 school year. That means sometimes kids are singled out and given an alternate lunch because they are out of money.Avoiding alternate lunches and embarrassmentJan Williams started in food service as a line worker, and the policy where she worked stated that if students couldn't pay, workers had to take away their lunches."I couldn't do that, so a lot of times I would just reach into my own pocket. I would pay for their lunch," Williams said. "Most of the other employees that I worked with would do the same." 806

A woman who survived 17 days in a forest in Hawaii after she got lost while hiking says she was irresponsible for going into the woods unprepared."It was na?ve and irresponsible of me to go out into the woods the way that I did," Amanda Eller, 35, said in a Facebook video Friday.Her response comes amid criticism for her comments comparing her hike last month to a spiritual journey. She acknowledged her words may have "bypassed" the details of what really happened."This was never intentional, and I didn't set out that day on a spiritual journey. I set out that day to go through a simple hike through the woods," she said.Eller has said she set out on a hike to the Makawao Forest Reserve in Maui to connect with nature and get grounded. She rarely went to that park and hadn't been in months.The physical therapist figured she'd go for a 3-mile hike and spend a couple of hours in the woods."I don't really know what happened," she said told reporters Tuesday. "All I can say is that ... I have strong sense of internal guidance, whatever you want to call that -- a voice, spirit, everybody has a different name for it."She said it turned out to be not nearly as strong when after meditating on a log she wanted to go back to her car.She tried one path and it didn't get her back to her car. She tried another and realized she wasn't on a human path; she was on a boar path."At that point I had no choice because everything looked the same. I said, 'The only thing I have is my gut. I don't have a compass. I don't have a cell phone,'" she said. "'So, spirit,' or whatever you want to pray to, I said, 'I need your help right now.'"She said she listened to her sense of guidance, which instead of taking her back to her car, took her on a 5-mile journey, one she called a "spiritual boot camp."She spent 17 days in the woods trying to stay alive and catch the attention of searchers in helicopters. Rescuers found her on May 24 after more than two weeks in the wilderness.She spent two days in a Maui hospital being treated for severe sunburn, a twisted knee and ankle problems before she went home Monday night.Eller thinks the days she spent alone in the woods, surviving on berries and stream water, is part of something bigger, something that has been changing her life since she moved to Maui four years ago. 2331
