A job well done
Posted Tuesday, March 16, at 4:56 PM
Again, I want to say congratulations to the Manila Lions on their state runner-up title. You did a great job. It has been a long time since one of our teams has made it to the finals of a state tournament.
Also, I want to offer a congratulations to the Riveside Junior High Quiz Bowl Team for earning third place in state competition. They also had a student finish third in the county spelling bee.
Recently Buffalo Island Central High School Journalism staff won several awards in the annual Journalism and Broadcasting competition at Arkansas State University. One of their band students also received high honors and a scholarship.
We had students at all of our area schools do very well at the TOPS Challege held at Arkansas Northeastern College. Some received a year's scholarhship for their efforts.
We have good schools with good teachers and great students in our area and we should be proud of them.
We should not hesitate to support them in every way we can.
Keep up the good work.
Congratulations Congratulations to the Manila Lions on their recent wins at the state tournament. The boys will be leaving on Wednesday and play for the state title on Thursday. I wish you all well. It is an exciting time for them, the school, and the community. It will be an experience they will always remember. We are very proud of you all...
Thanks for the votes Thanks for the votes on the last poll question. It was good to know about one third of the people would have been more prepared for an ice storm this year. I am glad we did not have another one. The snow was enough. We are beginning to see signs of spring and I can't wait. Most of us are getting spring fever. I am ready to put away the coats and gloves and bring out the short-sleeves...
Let it snow We had our snow the last week in January. It gave the students and teachers a few snow days as the roads got nasty. I don't know about everyone else, but we stayed pretty close to home for a few days. I had to report to jury duty on Monday morning and I have to say I was a bit nervous driving to Blytheville. I took my time and made it but I was not the least bit comfortable. I didn't get chosen to serve and it was a little better driving home close to noon...
Welcome 2010 2010 is here and we might as well welcome it. I had my black eyed peas, cabbage and hog jowl on New Year's Day so I have no doubt I will have a wonderful year. I didn't make any New Year's Resolutions this year. When you get my age, you just hope for the best each day...
Christmas nearing Thanksgiving 2009 is now a memory and Christmas is just around the corner. Hopefully, we all survived too much turkey on Thanksgiving and too much shopping on the rest of the weekend. We will soon, very soon, be attending Christmas parties, family gatherings, church productions, cantatas, parades, Christmas choir and band concerts, holiday ball tournaments, shopping sales, and more. ...
The vote is in Thanks for your vote on the last poll question, "Will you play the Arkansas lottery?" 61 people said all of the time, 91 said sometimes, 23 said on odd occasions and 87 said no. The lottery should be up and going in the very near future. I do hope we can see our young people benefit in scholarships as we have been promised...
The bell will be ringing It is August and the bell will be ringing shortly calling all children back to school. Most of the kids I have talked to are ready to go back to see their friends. I hope they enjoy the year. We spend most of our first 18 years in a hurry to grow up and get out of school and then it seems we wish we could go back. We seem to forget the things we disliked about it and only hold on to the good memories...

2009 is moving on I have been behind -- the last entry was wishing all Fathers a Happy Fathers' Day. As I have said before, the time just passes by and I wonder where all of the days have gone. I can't believe 2009 is already halfway gone. It just seems like yesterday when we were all concerned about what might happen as the New Year 2000 arrived...
