High School Football Rolls In Season Among Other Local Tidbits, Penn State Rocked

Chase, East Rutherford, R-S Central and Thomas Jefferson all begin the fall sports season next week, most are anticipating football season.

On Monday, July 30th organized practice begins for Rutherford County schools as well as every school across the state.

Chase looks to prove last year was no fluke, sporting a 9-4 record. East Rutherford has the athletes to make an interesting club this season. R-S Central hopes that offseason work of getting stronger and faster will land them a playoff spot come November.

Opinion

Listen To Life

 Do you have wandering eyes?

 You’re sitting in a restaurant in an end-of-the-aisle booth.  Your back is to the front of the establishment.  The person sitting across from you has a view of the dining room.  You have only the person in front of you to look at; there’s even a large petition behind her, separating you from the kitchen.

You’re enjoying your conversation with your friend, but occasionally her eyes dart off to the side and she looks with anticipation at some person moving to a table.  You see the anticipation as one of those “Do I know this person?” looks.

Outdoor Truths

Outdoor Truths

This week’s article is an excerpt from my new book; Devotions from a Hunting, Fishing, Sports Father to His Son. I offer it in light of the Colorado shootings.

Guard Your Heart and Your Gun Will be Fine

Son, a lot of folks don’t understand people who hunt and fish. To them we are unlearned and barbaric (sort of like a caveman). They think that we just go out and kill stuff and have no heart or feelings toward animals. Some will even go out of their way to make all hunting illegal. What’s funny is they think if I have a gun in my home, that I’m an irresponsible parent. Most of the time, you will not be able to convince these people any different. It won’t matter how fair you are or how kind you are to them, or even how educated you are, they will still spew out hateful and mostly ignorant points of view.
