The next meeting will be held
Monday, Oct. 2 at 5 p.m. at the
St. Patrick’s Senior Center and
then the club will tour the gardens
of the month.
The club invites the public to
attend the meetings which are held
the first Monday of each month
from 7-9 p.m. at the St. Patrick's
Senior Center
Let the games begin! The Olympic games that is; not the
'political games that we're forced to endure even after November
elections. Even the edited television coverage of Olympic events
is better than the re-hashed versions and various interpretations of
what is said by political candidates. It's as if the public doesn't
have enough smarts to see beyond all the hype without some
television anchor putting his own spin on political propaganda.
Gosh, the average citizen doesn't understand how much better
things will be when all those campaign promises are fulfilled.
As to the coverage of Olympic events, it's been stated that the
reason we don't get timely and full coverage is because Australia
is so far away. Heck, I'll bet those Australian Aboriginal runners
could relay videos of the events in jig-time. Too, Aboriginals are
famous for throwing wooden boomerangs. The heavier ones
supposedly hit their mark and do not return to the sender; so that
could be another ways of forwarding videos.
There's no problem about exhaustive television coverage when
it comes to dishing out every gruesome detail in a murder trial of
a celebrity. No doubt NBC's selective showing of Olympic events
allows more time for million of dollars worth of advertising by the
sponsors. Prominent large billboards simply aren't adequate. Too,
it's ironic that the summer Olympics are staged during Australia's
winter season. Let's hope the chilly water near Sydney doesn't
freeze the buns of swimmers participating in triathalon events.
The closest thing to be seen resembling Olympic equestrian
events in Australia could be the horses ridden during the opening
ceremonies. I guess that's what one can expect when there are
10,200 athletes competing in 28 sports with ball sports more
popular than cross-country jumping. It's a shame that they don't
include yo-yo competition since they have added trampoline and
synchronized diving for men and women plus pole vaulting and
hammer throws for women. Let's hope those women weight lifters
and hammer throwers don't get too irate at their with their
"significant other" or their competitors
Like sports the game of life calls for fair judgements.
Statements in a letter to the editor in last week's paper, criticized
the judging at the Morrow County Fair. The fair board and the fair
committee work all year long to manage the fair and related
events. Perhaps if this lady doesn't feel that the judging was fair,
maybe she should get involved and leam more about the process.
It's traditionally been difficult to find volunteers from the north end
to serve on the board or fair committee.
Judges are selected from a list of qualified people. The results
reflect that person's opinion, regardless of whether anyone else
agrees or disagrees. Superintendents or others do not influence the
judging. As to the fair booths, the rules state that use of the fair
theme does not have a bearing on the judging.
Many of our 4-H exhibitors are north end residents. A county
wide effort goes into supporting those participants through the
auction sale. Although no longer an important part of our high
school programs, the Riverside FFA chapter had an impressive
display at this year's fair.
Rural fairs are important because they showcase the lifestyle,
productivity and the talents of many residents and regardless of
placings, exhibitors should take pride in their entries. It takes
everybody working together to upgrade and present a great fair.
Progress is made by those willing to get involved.
So much for my progress using a flyswatter for night-time
battles with fuzzy millers thus leaving gray smudges on the wall.
Too, is best to check the coffee cup I've been sipping on - - for
those pesky dust bugs can outperform an Olympic swimmer when
it comes to diving competition.
