Life is too precious to live in fear
Mon, May 12, 2008 @ 10:53AM
AN UNDESIRABLE mark has been left on the people of China Monday morning as over 3,000 individuals were feared to be dead because of a recent earth quake. Among these deaths are expected to be 900 students as several schools collapsed, or partially collapsed. As some of those students buried underneath the rubble many of them fought to break loose struggling against nature with no positive result. Can you imagine having 900 students taken away in the blink of an eye? For instance, that is like removing Steubenville High School or Buckeye Local High School from the map. Big Red football opponents may enjoy the day dream of not having to face the Ohio powerhouse program, but to have them completely terminated from existence is hard to swallow. That is what the people of the Beijing area are feeling right now.

Summer of Bummer?
Tue, May 6, 2008 @ 9:30PM
Between the Indians, Pirates and Reds, you'd think at least one of our regional favorites would be playing respectable baseball. Cleveland is easily the most disappointing of the trio. The defending A.L. Central champs have yet to hit their stride and have failed to generate anything resembling consistency. This past weekend's series against the perennial patsy Royals is an excellent example. The Tribe and C.C. Sabathia led late in Saturday's game only to cough up a late 2-0 lead and eventually fall. Sunday, they again wasted excellent pitching and were blanked, 2-0. I've said it before: I don't put much stock in the standings until Memorial Day, but Cleveland obviously needs jump-started. Hopefully, sooner than later. While there's every reason to believe the Indians will recover and enjoy another contending season, no such optimism to resport from the Pirates and Reds' camp. It truly appears these two train wrecks will battle for the N.L. cellar.

Being of Sound Mind and Body
Wed, May 7, 2008 @ 2:37PM
I'm an animal lover, and I do what I can to get orphan dogs and cats off the street, having adopted my fair share of dogs and cats and finding homes for others. But I was amazed to learn of a woman in Belmont County who included in her will a large sum of money to be donated to the Belmont County Dog Pound upon her death. Recently, the Belmont County Commissioners passed a motion that accepted the bequeathed sum of $88,028.19 to be transfered to the dog pound for the purpose of helping the dogs find temporary homes until they can be placed with loving families. I was amazed that someone could be so generous. It made me sad though, thinking that, although this person has done a great dead to help the animals in her home county, perhaps she did it because she didn't have any person to which to leave her money. No one present at the meeting seemed to know who the woman was.

Pens Paranoia
Mon, May 19, 2008 @ 10:24PM
Well, it's official, I think everyone is finally caught up in this Pittsburgh Penguins paranoia, which is going on in the Ohio Valley and beyond. I was at a local establishment a little more than a week ago and I saw more Sidney Crosby sweaters than ever before. People are into this team. Is it the fact that they are somewhat close? Is it the fact they have unbelievable talent in guys like Crosby, Malkin, Malone, Hossa and Fluery or one of the countless others? I think it's the fact that everyone loves a winner. It's easy to root for a team that's four wins away from hoisting the Cup, but where were these fans when the team was stinking it up, thinking of moving and playing so poorly, it pocketed the top pick and by jove picked Crosby. I will admit, I am somewhat on the wagon. I was not wearing a jersey or a goalie mask, but I don't mind watching the games.
