Notre Dame as a Communications major. “I was really pleased at your

COVINGTON TOO MUCH

Bradford derailed on senior night
By George Starks
BRADFORD- Bradford threw everything but the kitchen sink at Covington
Friday in its Cross County Conference game with the Buccs. Maybe the
Railroaders should have included the sink. Bradford did everything it
could to slow down Covington Friday but when the final train whistle
blew, Covington had posted a 48-27 victory. The difference... Read

Why Creative Writing?
(College Bound 2012)
by Elizabeth Horner
Why Creative Writing? A common question I have been asked as I
get busy with college applications. Here’s my thinking. Our body
is made up mostly of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, etc., and when we die,
our bodies will decompose and become worm-food. I want something,
SOMETHING I can leave behind that says who I was and what I cared
about… and share the knowledge I have gained... Read

| TIRED OF POLITICIANS DIVIDING AMERICANS

Townhall...
The Flaws of Mitt and Newt
by Steve Chapman
Newt Gingrich has an exquisitely sensitive moral antenna, and Mitt
Romney’s remark suggesting indifference to the poor sent it quivering.
“I am fed up with politicians in either party dividing Americans
against each other,” he said. Yes, he did. Then he fell on the floor
and laughed till he cried. For Gingrich to disavow divisiveness is the
equivalent of Mark Zuckerberg renouncing modern technology... Read

THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - TODAY IS SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 12,

Santorum
takes the last three primaries/caucuses. That means just about all the
“players” in the Rep Primaries have won a state or two. Rasmussen shows
that Santorum has a better chance of beating Obama than Romney does,
yet Romney still seems to be the darling of the Rep elite. And they all
keep beating each other up. The talking heads are asking if the Reps
are giving Obama his game plan. This all may be interesting, folks, but
we need to remember the stakes come November. Also in News: Brown sold his stocks, wants colleagues to sell, too; Ohio Democrats losing battle of campaign coffers. Events: Masons... Spaghetti Dinner Benefit for Greenville Girls Softball. Blogs: The Frontrunner. For
