Today's News

I missed out on the presidential debate this past Friday evening, hitting the Liberty-Staunton River game instead.

The wife watched it, sipping on a nice hot cup of tea. Afterwards, she lamented that she hadn't anything stronger to sip.

Since this is a sports page, I hereby put forward the questions that I would like to see the candidates answer. I'd also like to see them answer these questions at a time other than a Friday night in the fall.

Since the last time Liberty visited Staunton River, much has changed.

The Minutemen found themselves on a new (Bermuda) field, the notoriously high field crown had been shaved down, the Eagles have a new-look scoreboard and the team has a new coach.

Most important of all, Staunton River led the Minutemen 14-13 midway through the second quarter.

That's not buzzing you hear in the near distance.

It is the sound of the football machine that is Brookville. The Bees roll into Forest this Saturday evening, 6:00 p.m. as part of the Forest homecoming activities.

The game was moved from Friday evening in response to the JF-Heritage game being pushed to this past Monday.

Now, the Cavs will have a reasonable amount of time to prepare themselves.

The question is whether even that additional day will be enough to get ready.

What does “change” mean? It depends on what's being changed.

Some changes are for the better. Replacing an old clunker with a new car, for example, is a change for the better. Getting a pay raise at work is also an improvement.

Some changes are neutral, they make no real difference to you. A major retailer may strong-arm manufacturers into making packaging changes to take up less shelf space. This change may be meaningless to you, although the manufacturers are sure to put a positive marketing spin on it.
