No doubt, it was an emotional week for East Rutherford following the sudden loss of a young life in Matt Lail and the injured C.J. Sappenfield by way of a car crash. Both graduated recently as Cavaliers and played sports during their time at East. Lail played football, while Sappenfield played baseball.
As the saying goes, “farmers love rain”. On Saturday, May 18th, it rained and rained. It must have been a good sign for the very first annual Chase FFA Alumni Farm Day. The event went on in spite of the rain. Dedicated and determined, rain coats, umbrellas and boots were the order of the day.

Got any dusty relationships?
You go through a season in life where you’re really close to someone. You see him every day. You talk with her often.
Then, the next thing you know, you move or he graduates or she gets married and you hardly talk at all. Before you know it, your best friend is your former best friend.
Part of spring cleaning involves dusting everything, especially places you haven’t dusted in a while. Spring cleaning your life means you dust off your shelved relationships. Now how does that work?
I’ve always heard that writing is more about perspiration than inspiration. It’s true. Even though it is very fulfilling to write about the outdoors, it is also difficult at times to continue to find worthy subjects and stories. Sometimes my mind soars with information faster than my fingers can type; other times those same fingers seem like they’re waiting impatiently for the next command. During the times of inspiration I can’t wait to get to the computer. During other times I dread its call.
Playoffs are in full swing and the glass is half full or half empty depending on how you want to look at the situation.
The postseason game of the week for me came at McNair Field this past week as Thomas Jefferson baseball hosted Elkin in the first round of the playoffs.
Soap like materials dates back to 2800 BC in ancient Babylon. The word sopa is Latin for soap. Liquid Soap was not invented until the 1800’s. In 1865, a man by the name of William Shepphard patented liquid soap.
What do you see?
My sister-in-law was getting ready for work one morning. My niece walks into the bathroom wearing a pair of funny pink flamingo sunglasses.
She walks in so excited saying, “Mom! Mom! Look at everything! It looks different! Come on Mom! Come out here! Look over there!” She takes her Mom out of the bathroom and into the den. She thinks her Mom sees everything differently as well.
So her Mom patiently tells her that she’s not wearing pink flamingo sunglasses and so she can’t see everything differently. So the three-year-old takes off the sunglasses, hands them to her Mom, and says, “What about now?”
And my sister-in-law says, “Things do look a little differently through pink flamingo sunglasses.”
