Good News Only By Doris Brosnan Kudos to the two HHS football players who were able to participate in the East-West Shrine Game. They were key players in the win. Comments from them in interviews for the news media were so, so impressive because they credited their fellow players for the “team effort” that secured the win. Impressive young men, Jayden and Jackson. Unfortunately, Blake suffered an injury so couldn’t play. Fortunate 40-ish at- tendees at Music in the Park on Sunday, the 8 th . The Wasteland Kings played virtually nonstop for two hours. A great mix of genres in their vocals and instru- mentals. Next month will be the last for this summer season. Don’t miss. Like the “Energizer Bunny,” Andrea Nelson seems to keep going, and going, and going, thriv- ing on new ideas/projects, so watch for information on her latest: a Commu- nity Learning Garden in space between Flood Town Books and the Neighbor- hood Center. The hands-on garden will offer classes, many geared to school-aged children, and the resulting produce will be shared with the local food bank. More details coming soon. A slow good news week, apparently. Keep in mind that readers will en- joy your news, so please, share your good-news tid- bits by sending them be- fore Monday afternoon to dbrosnan123@gmail.com, or call 541-676-5382 or 541-223-1490, or stop me on the street. Here’s hoping that some good news comes to everyone reading this.
