WHEN LIFE deals you snow, make snowmen. This sizable snowman now stands guard in the Belmont County Courthouse plaza in front of the old sheriff's residence. County and St. Clairsville city crews continued to dig out of the white stuff this morning. Visit cu.timesleaderonline.com

Big or small, we love food or simply: sometimes size does matter
Fri, January 29, 2010 @ 2:23PM
THE BUDS love food! We really can’t be more clear about this. But, what we really love is TINY food! Our newest favorite is clementines. These are itty-bitty-teenie-weenie citrus fruits packed with flavor. These little orange gems can be found at most grocery stores and Bud Em has been stocking up on them like crazy. Plus, being the great bud that she is, she shares with Bud Tricia. What a pal! These babies are so delicious Bud Em rations them out to her daughter. One per day, per person. That’s the rule. Loving these tiny fruits got our minds racing as to what other tiny things we love to eat. For example, Bud Tricia loves baby corns.

Get Ready for a Whole New Crazy!
Fri, January 15, 2010 @ 2:10PM
That my friends is the tagline for my newest guilty pleasure "Jersey Shore." After a 6 episode marathon last Saturday morning (I am blame the snow and cold), I officially became hooked! "Jersey Shore" is MTV's newest reality show. The show follows 8 deeply tanned, fist-pumping, lip gloss wearing, Italian Americans. They share a house for the summer in Seaside Heights while working at a tee-shirt shop named The Shore Store. The MTV camera's focus on---Nicole "Snooki," Angelina "Jolie," Jenni "JWoww," Mike "The Situation," Ronnie, Sammy "Sweatheart," Vinnie and DJ Pauly D. If the cast members names aren't enough......there is plenty of drama to keep you entertained! Not everyone is a fan like me however. Daniel Capello of the Jersey Shore Convention and Visitors Bureau feels the show will make visitors stay awa.

Big Snow or simply: Bud Tricia took all the milk
Fri, February 5, 2010 @ 10:23AM
BIG SNOW is coming! Big snow is coming! You’d have to be living under a rock not to know the Ohio Valley is bracing for what local forecasters are calling the event of the season - the worse in five years in fact. Yep, several inches of snow is on the way and that means Bud Tricia is feeling only one thing .. panic! Keeping a kitchen stocked with enough food to feed the Graham clan is a huge task on any given day. Add a couple of inches of snow and the inability to drive and that task takes on monumental proportions. Luckily, Bud Tricia is a planner and headed out to the grocery story on Thursday - to avoid the rush! Armed with a wad of cash and her normal Friday shopping list, she hit the stores feeling quite pleased with herself. While the stores were a bit more crowded, she took it all in stride as she searched for her son’s favorite fruit cups (note: there were only two packages left on the shelve so she snapped them up right quick!).

I can't believe I'm going to defend Peyton Manning
Mon, February 8, 2010 @ 5:20PM
But I will. More than a few sports critics, broadcasters and fans have tried to make a big deal about Peyton Manning's performance during the post-Super Bowl congratulatory session from last night's game. Namely, his absence from it. Manning wasn't on the field to give fellow quarterback Drew Brees the customary handshake after the Saints won their first Super Bowl. Nor was he there to give New Orleans' coach Sean Peyton a well-deserved pat on the back. No, manning walked with his head down in defeat all the way to the locker room. In his defense, he did call Brees a few hours after to offer his words of congratulations. Now there are screams of poor sportsmanship, sore loser, you name it, directing at No. 18. And Mannings late-hour call to Brees has done nothing to ease the criticism. You could say Manning should have taken his defeat like a man and walked out to the field and shaken Brees. He probably should have, I'll give you that.

Who are you kidding?
Mon, February 8, 2010 @ 10:10AM
Who were these guys? The legendary rock group The Who performed at halftime of Super Bowl 44 Sunday. As a longtime fan of the group, it is a shame to say that the quartet is just a shell of its former self. Roger Daltrey and Peter Townshend -- the lone original members -- are definitely in the twilight of their careers, if not past sunset. They both looked haggard. Their crisp and haunting trademark vocals are no more. Just like great athletes, legendary musicians need to know when it is time to hang it up. The Who is not The Who of old. The group is just .

Hey Vancouver, we have snow!
Sun, February 7, 2010 @ 8:34AM
Its seems ironic that after the snowiest winter for years in the Ohio Valley the organizers of the Vancouver Winter Olympics are snowless and panicking about conditions for the big kick off on Feb 12th. Drastic measures are being taken to ensure that there is limited disruption to the downhill events. The organizers are using a base of wood chips and then covering it with snow they are trucking in snow to ensure they have the right volume and depth to last the seventeen day event. The temperatures are in the 50’s in Vancouver, it was right around that temperature in my house when the power came back on Saturday afternoon. It kept coming on and then going off again, which made getting e mails sent a frustrating task, it was coupled with an ongoing problem with the telephone -slash - internet line, so… I am not sure if everyone received all of the e mail I sent but - so far only one complaint was registered. Usually this time of year it is a mouse in a junction box.

50 Year Reunion
Tue, February 2, 2010 @ 1:58PM
I had the opportunity to attend the 50th anniversary of the Ohio State Buckeyes' 1960 NCAA Basketball Championship last Sunday during the Buckeyes' game against Minnesota. I must say, I've covered a lot of wonderful events during my 11-plus years at The Times Leader from preps to major college to professional, but this reunion definitely ranks near the top of the list. Obviously, I never had the opportunity to see the team play, but I've heard people tell tale of how basically a group of sophomores led by Bridgeport's own John Havlicek, Jerry Lucas, Bobby Knight and Larry Sigfried led OSU to its first and only title in men's basketball. I've always been interested in that team because A. it's OSU basketball and B. the team featured a player from the local area. And just being able to be around these guys, who are all intelligent and all are doing quite well health wise for being in their late 60s or early 70s, was an honor.
