Rex is Clueless
Jets coach Rex Ryan was annoyed at the idea that the Jets’ offense has not been aggressively attacking opponent’s defenses. He sarcastically took full responsibility for his team not being effective saying “It’s on me because we’ve been running the ball too much. I got you. I’ll take it. I’m with you all the way”. Yet Rex doesn’t get it. It is on him, he is the head coach, a position he knows little about.

Topics of discussion included: speeding vehicles, water levels at nearby Deer Lake and the county budgets.
Adventures into that Mysterious Dome
Some people find the cupola or dome atop the huge brick building on Spring Road to be rather mysterious. It’s been there since the structure went up in 1938 and was a distinctive feature of Robert K. Toaz Junior High School, which operated at the site from 1939 to 1982.
4th Annual Evelyn Knapp "Run to Remember"; A recap
Oh what a day it was, record cold temps, wind blasting in the open fields at 30+mph and the domino effect it presented. Thank you to the 90 “day of race’ registrants for waking up, feeling the conditions and deciding to come out to support Strength for Life and run. Record pre-registrants for the walk and run at 532 – kudos to you all – especially since 200 registered this last week knowing the weekly forecast.
