NON-TRADITIONAL
With the completion of this final piece, I will satisfy all the requirements of an English composition class I have been taking this term. It’s been an interesting class, and I’ve learned quite a bit about the writing process. Some of the assignments have challenged me, and caused me to look outside the box.
The instructor made the classes interesting and worth showing up for. Although, the class was worthwhile, and will go a long way towards helping me in future writing endeavors, the most enjoyable part of the class was the make up of the class itself. Being an entry-level composition class, all of the students, except for one, were eighteen or nineteen year old freshman. If you have not figured it by now, I am the one. I am what is called a non-traditional student. What I am is a fifty-year-old LPN, who is taking classes toward a registered nursing degree. I usually take night classes, where the age of the students is more diverse, but because of some conflicts, I was forced to take some day classes.
It felt a little strange at first, but after a couple of days, I was just one of the class. As the term went on, I got to know a couple of the students, and enjoyed talking to them
.
Next term will be more of the same. Another English composition course is on the horizon, and I predict that I will again be the elder statesman on the group.

JUST PLAY THE GAME
JUST PLAY THE GAME
I’m a football fan. I’ve enjoyed watch professional football since I was a kid. To me, there is nothing I’d rather do on a Sunday afternoon in the fall, than to sit down and watch a game. Football has change over the years. Today’s game is so much faster and more explosive than it used to be. Although I love to watch the games, there is something about present day football that I could do without. The showboating has gotten out of control. It used to be that when a player scored a touchdown, he would get some congratulations from his teammates, give the ball to the referee, and head off to the sidelines. There are players presently who still handle a touchdown that way, but too many players today act like they’ve just saved the world when they score a touchdown. Elaborate dances are performed, the opposing team is mocked and in general, unsportsmanlike behavior is displayed.
I heard a quote from Joe Paterno, the football coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions, who said to his players “Act like you’ve been there before.” It’s a touchdown. Touchdowns are part of the game. It’s the player’s job to score touchdowns. Sometimes the game seems more like a circus than a football game.
Touchdowns are not the only times when these excessive celebrations are performed. I’ve seen players make good tackles, or sack the quarterback, and then carry on like they’ve just won the super bowl. A team can get penalized for excessive celebration, but the call is rarely made. The game would be better off if the players would just play the game, instead of turning football into a circus.

Socializing from your room
Socializing From Your Room
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article titled “Where’s The Spirit.” I’d like to follow that up with where I think some of the spirit has gone. Back when I was a teenager, the way to socialize with friends and classmates was to physically be with them. We did have a telephone, but you could not spend a great amount of time on it. First, it was corded, so you could not take the phone to a private place to talk. Secondly, there were five other people in my household. Five people and one phone meant short conversions. School social and sporting events was when you got together with your friends. Outside of actually being in school, that was best opportunity for communication.
Things are a bit different today. Cell phones, text messaging and not to mention instant messaging, are the teenagers methods of communication and socializing. Don’t get me wrong, kids today still get out and hangout, but it is not as much of a need as it used to be. With cell phone in hand, a teen can talk to a friend anywhere and at any time. Text messaging allows unheard conversations to go on. This allows the user to communicate in private even when they are with their parents. Instant messaging, on the computer, allows for multiple conversations among these electronic age kids.
All a teen needs is a cell phone and a computer, and they can do the bulk of their socializing electronically, from their bedroom.
The electronically plugged in teenager doesn’t have to be at the game to be with friends. This can be accomplished from the comfort of their bedroom.

CHRISTmas
CHRISTmas
It is the Christmas season. Everyday, I notice another house has been decorated in the spirit of the season. Every day there is talk of Christmas shopping, decorating and Christmas parties. Christmas music is playing everywhere you go. At church, we have been lighting the advent candle each Sunday in preparation of Christmas day. Christmas is the day we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Christ. With all the commercialism that goes on around Christmas it is sometimes hard to keep in mind the true meaning of this time of year. Jesus is the reason for the season. This is why amongst all the gift giving, and the decorating, I try to keep the Christ in Christmas.
One of my least favorite expressions heard at the Christmas is “Merry X-mas. What does this mean? It’s hard enough to keep Christ in Christmas as it is, without eliminating Christ from the title all together.
Another phrase I have a problem with is “Happy Holidays.” When ever I am greeted with this expression, I always answer with “and Merry Christmas to you.”
This year, while you are celebrating the Christmas season, remember to keep Christ in Christmas. Keep in mind that Jesus is the reason for the Season.

CHOICES
CHOICES
I find it quite ironic that the all time hits, and all time home run leaders in Major League Baseball history, will never be inducted into the Baseball Hall Of Fame. Pete Rose holds the record for most hits in a major league career. Pete was banned from baseball, making it impossible to get into the hall of fame, after it was found he had a gambling problem, and bet on games that he played in. This year, Barry Bonds surpassed Hank Aaron as the all time home run leader in major league baseball. Barry has admitted to using steroids, and was indicted, this past Friday for lying in federal court about his steroid use. Barry, like Pete, will not be voted into the Baseball Hall Of Fame.
Choices! I have always told my kids that it is the choices we make in life that define us. Not always, but a good bit of the time, when they are going out, they are reminded to make good choices.
Pete Rose made a choice to place bets on baseball games that he played in or coached. This is direct violation of Major League Baseball policy. This choice cost him the opportunity to be enshrined in Cooperstown.
Barry Bonds made a choice to enhance his athletic ability by taking steroids, which is also in direct violation of major league Baseball policy. This choice will eventually cost him the opportunity to become immortal in Cooperstown.
For most of us, the choices that we make on a daily basis, will not decide our fate as hall of fame inductees, but our choices will mold us into the type of person we become.

GAMBLING ON THE GUMBO
GAMBLING ON THE GUMBO
It’s funny how little things stick in your mind as time goes by. Thirty-five years ago, I was a freshman in high school. As part of the English literature that year, we were studying poetry. Part of what was required of us was to memorize and recite certain poems. I can remember bits and pieces of a couple poems, but there is one poem I have not forgotten. I don’t remember the Author, but I don’t think I will ever forget the poem. Over the years, from time to time, I have had the opportunity to recite it. Sometimes it draws a little chuckle, but most of the time I just receive a confused look.
Gambling on the Gumbo with my gambits all in gear
I daffed upon a dilly that would be my dolly dear
Oh dilly I would dally if you’d be only true
How silly I must sally off to do my dully do
Looking at it in print, I see why the confused look is the dominant response to this poem. It’s a fun little poem, but it is actually saying something. As they say on ESPN, Let’s break it down.
A boy is on the prowl, looking for love and he’s got his act together.
He meets a young lady, and over time a relationship develops.
He decides that she might be the one, and asks if she feels the same way.
The young man then decides that bachelor life is more his style and moves on.
I may be wrong, but I think most of us have done some GAMBLING ON THE GUMBO.

The Dumb Kid
The Dumb Kid
I’m a nurse employed by a small rural hospital in western Pennsylvania. I work in the ambulatory services department. One of my duties is to assist the Physicians in endoscopies and minor surgical procedures. A couple of years ago, shortly after I was hired, I was assisting with a procedure that I wasn’t very experienced in. In addition to my inexperience, we were using a new procedure kit that our team, including the Doctor, was not familiar with. We were having trouble understanding the kit, and the procedure was taking much longer than expected, so the floor supervisor decided to come in and check on our progress. When she asked, “What is taking so long”, the doctor replied, “It’s this dumb kit.” The supervisor thought he was referring to me and said, “It’s this dumb kid.” She replied by saying “he has to learn sometime”. The supervisor left, and we finished a rather long but successful procedure.
Upon completion of the procedure, and while the patient was still under sedation, two of the team members broke into hysterical laughter about what had taken place. We all, including the doctor, had a good laugh about the misunderstanding.
My supervisor never mentioned the incident to me, but from time to time, my co-workers still refer to me, as The Dumb Kid.

Where's The Spirit
Where’s the spirit
My daughter plays volleyball for Richland High School. My wife and I enjoy watching her and the team play. The Rams ended a very exciting and successful season just a couple of weeks ago. With a record of 14 wins and 1 loss, the Rams won the Laurel Highlands Conference Championship. Without any stand-out/superstar players, the team relied on hustle and good fundamental volleyball. It was a good season, and I congratulate the girls on a job well done.
Another reason it was an enjoyable season was that the team played its home games in a beautiful new gym that rivals any high school gym I’ve ever been in. Richland just opened its new high school this fall, and the girl’s volleyball team was the first to use the new facility
You would think that a winning team and a brand new facility would bring fans and supporters out to watch and cheer the team on. Of course, in the stands, were the regular fans. Parents, Grandparents, and siblings were always on hand to support the girls, but where was the student body. I never saw more than a handful of Richland students at any one game, and they rarely stayed for the entire game. What’s happened to the school spirit at Richland High School? I can understand not attending away games, but not supporting your team at home games, just doesn’t sit well with me. The Lady Rams played seven or eight away games this past season, and I recall there being a noticeable student support contingent cheering for the home team at all of those games. Some of these student-cheering sections numbered sixty or seventy. While discussing this situation with my daughter, she informed me that the team did notice the lack of support from the student body, and this bothered the team a little.
The greatest lack of student support for the Ram’s came during the district playoffs. The lady Rams, being seated number two in the district, drew a bye in round one of the playoffs. This set up a second round playoff game at the Rams home gym against visiting Baldwin High School, about sixty miles away. The Rams drew their usual eight or nine student supports, which were not heard from during game. The Baldwin Eagle team brought a strong contingent of adult supporters, but also fifty or sixty excited, enthusiastic and boisterous student followers. These kids literally took over the gym. They wore their team color t-shirts and cheered every point their team scored. My wife and I sat a few rows behind this group, and they were very entertaining. Their enthusiasm pumped up the visiting team and seemed to negatively affect the home team. Our girls lost the match, ending the season. I’m not saying the rowdy visitors were the reason for the loss, but it did affect the moral of the Rams.
In closing, I ask the Richland Student body. Where’s the pride? Where’s the school spirit? Get out there and support your fellow students in all sports. Have some fun. Attend a game, and get a little rowdy. I think you will create some great high school memories.

Richland Football Steps It Up
Richland Football Steps It Up
Congratulations to the players and coaches of the 2007 Richland High School Football Rams for an outstanding season. The Rams posted their best season in 20 years of Laurel Highlands Conference play, with a regular season record of 7 wins and 3 losses. As a reward, for the first time in twenty years, the Rams advanced to the District 6 playoffs. Although they came out on the short end of a hard fought battle in the first round of the playoffs, this in no way diminished the spark this team has put into the football program at Richland. Along the way this team scored no less than 21 points in any game and posted three shutout victories.
The 7-3 season, and a playoff birth were great accomplishments, but the highlight of the season was a victory over the perennial Laurel Highlands Conference and District 6 powerhouse, Bishop McCort. This thrilling, milestone victory was the first over the Crushers in 50 years, and as it turned out, the only loss McCort suffered during the regular season.
Tom Smith, Richland High School assistant principal and defensive coordinator for the Football Rams, says the success of this season was in large part due to the dedication and leadership of the seniors on this team. The seniors adopted the slogan “We, Not Me”, and not only led the team during the season, but pushed themselves and the underclassman during off-season workouts as well. “This senior class didn’t play freshman football. They’ve been with the varsity for four years and really believed in the program. This belief in what the coaches are trying to do rubbed off on the underclassman and solidified the team.” stated Smith.
Nice job Richland! I look forward to many more years of exciting Richland Football.

Giving at Thanksgiving
Giving at Thanksgiving . . .
While teaching a Sunday School Class on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, I was enlightened by one of the fourth grader’s responses to the question, of what Thanksgiving means. Most of the answers were the same as mine would be. Thanksgiving is a day set aside to thank God for the blessings you have. One little girl expanded on this answer. She said Thanksgiving is for giving thanks to God for the things we have and giving to others. The giving to others part stuck with me and I told myself that I would remember it.
Later that day, I saw an add in the newspaper, announcing that Nunzio’s, a local pizza parlor, would be closed for regular business on Thanksgiving Day so they could open the doors for their annual free Thanksgiving Meal. It hit me right away. This is the “giving to others” part of Thanksgiving.
After Thanksgiving, I contacted Nunzio’s to find out a little more about this event. I spoke with Steve Johncola, who along with his brother Sam, own Nunzio’s Pizza. According to Mr. Johncola, this was the second annual Thanksgiving meal, which is opened to anyone and of course there is no charge for the meal. One hundred and forty people were served. Many volunteer hands were involved in preparing and serving the fourteen turkeys, sixty pounds of ham, 22 pies, thirty-five loaves of bread and three roasters of yams that were provided in the feast.
When asked why they do this, Johncola’s response was, “We just saw a need. There are people who either can’t afford to have a nice Thanksgiving dinner, or just have nowhere to go to share the meal with others.”
Lots of volunteer help, and the many local business that make donations to the cause are the main reasons for the success of this project. “It’s an opportunity to give to those less fortunate,” said Johncola. Free transportation was provided for those who needed it, and pony rides were available for the kids. “We hope to continue this as long as we are able to do so,” stated Johncola. “We get more out of it than they do!” he added.
Thanks Nunzio’s, for demonstrating the “giving” part of Thanksgiving.
