Watch out for EG Scrabble Players
Posted Friday, May 9, at 8:52 AM
Good luck to the Eastern Greene Middle School students who will compete at the 2008 National School Scrabble Championship in Providence, Rhode Island this weekend.
Besides competing, the seven students will experience a reality beyond Greene County. I was able to meet some of the students during the traditional larger-than-life Scrabble game held at the school on Wednesday. And I'm here to say wordsmiths have nothing on these kids...They are whip-smart, polite and confident. So watch out Nationals because Eastern Greene will surely leave a lasting impression on the annual event. Be sure to check out Tuesday's edition of the Greene County Daily World or on-line at www.gcdailyworld.com for an update on how the students fared. Kudos to you!
Vote for Something Today's the day that Hoosiers get an opportunity to make their voice heard in the presidential primary. And today's also the day that our voice counts. Or so they say. Many people are sick and tired of the on-going Obama Clinton saga and will be relieved when the whole presidential debacle is over...
To smoke or not to smoke? To smoke or not to smoke that is the question. I recently attended the Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce meeting where tobacco prevention was the topic. I offer two sides to my opinion on the topic. (As I've said numerous times in the past, I used to be a pack-a-day smoker.)...
Nod to the ladies up front... Working here at the Greene County Daily World requires a lot of team work. We're all on deadline and we all have separate tasks to complete in order to get the paper out. But, it's the ladies up front that deal with all the incoming phone calls, upset customers and all the other employees who need this or want that...
Name this Blog! So are we ready to gripe, complain and moan some more? You know we've got it pretty good. But, we still think we have it bad. Instead of griping, how about being grateful for what we do have? A house, some food, family and more. Too many people are too quick to rant and rave...
Time to Toil in the Soil It's that time of year again. Time to toil in the soil, feel the earth on one's hands and plant some beauty. For the first time ever, I have successfully started several annuals and perennials from seed. Soon I'll set out to planting. I figure with the high cost of everything that now is a good a time as any to plant my garden on the cheap...
Silly nonsense? What is news? It depends on who you ask. Being in the news business writers often lose touch with what readers want. You see in school we are taught that news can be nasty. It has shock value. A murder, wreck, natural disaster. It can make us cringe...
Believe I have a small wooden plaque hanging near my desk at work. The inscription on it reads "Believe." It's been hanging here for sometime. For some reason I chose the word "Believe" over other inspirational words such as faith and hope. At the time, I was drawn to the word but not clear on just why. Now, I am...
This one's for Rams This one's for Rams. For those of you who don't know him-- just let me tell you that he is a fine, young man. For a 12-year old, he certainly has a heart of gold. He's the type of kid that would give you the shirt off his back-- unless of course you happen to be his little brother...
Consume. Consume. Consume. It's amazing what money can buy. Political ads overstuffed with lies. Car collections packed away tightly, just waiting for a cruise. Lap dogs without leashes. And guns for protection that may never even get used. Buy some more. For now and for later...
