Annual ‘Rite of Spring’ at Greenville Circle
By Bob Robinson
Sometime Sunday night or early Monday morning, an event took place that
made ‘official’ the beginning of Spring and wrapping up a school year.
Detergent-filled balloons were tossed into the fountain at Greenville
Circle. As I took photos, young people (still on their Spring break)
drove by with thumbs up and horns honking. The usual rubber-neckers
slowed down to catch a glimpse of the sudsy tradition. And a few
friends told me not to get too... Read

FROM
THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - TODAY IS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11,
2012 |
I
had a little fun Monday with Greenville high school students’ annual
“Rite of Spring.” While I couldn’t be sure, I thought there had been
one or two times since I’ve been here it hadn’t been done. I found out
today that I was right. One of my students at Edison said that her
class didn’t do it last year. On Tuesday all that was left was a few
bubbles. Also in News: Single vehicle injury accident; and Ohio’s oil and gas industry emerging as a big player in the political process.
Sports: Sale pushes White Sox past Indians 4-2.
Blogs: Right-To-Work Is Right For Ohio* (and Elsewhere).
