“ We ended the day
with some great marks. Most
of the kids on the team were
able to get personal bests, and
that is all we can ask for,” first
year Coach Melissa Coiner
said. “1 was so pleased with
our team effort today. There
were athletes that stepped up
and did events they weren’t
used to doing just so we could
score more points, and it turns
out we needed every point. The
girls’ team really earned the
title today.”

THE GREAT EQUALIZER
computer subtracts Realtor's
commission from asking
price and starts bargaining
from there. His unemotion
al approach can be chilling.
He is buying a “house”. Mr.
Owner is selling a “home”.
Without a seller’s Realtor,
the buyer is the true profes
sional between the two.
In the courtroom, a good
attorney is the equalizer. In
the operating room, success
depends upon the surgeon.
In real estate, the knowledge
and counsel of a Realtor is
the equalizer for the seller.
