OPINIONS/EDITORIALS

When the Cedar Creek Middle School's eighth-grade chorus was invited to a joint school board, county commission meeting last week, the assumption was that they were the entertainment.
Entertain they certainly did, beautifully! But they did so much more since three songs, selected by Chorus Director Ted Willis, demonstrated something more than the musical accomplishments of these young people.

This job is difficult.
No, it's not 'ditch digging in the middle of summer' difficult.
It's not 'trying to settle down a room full of hormonal students and get them to actually learn something' difficult.
It's not 'cracking open someone's chest and bringing them back to life' difficult.

Yikes, winter doesn't even start until tomorrow but apparently Mother Nature never got that memo.
A late fall storm, rolled across the country last weekend, much to the delight of local kids who got to play in a good layer of the white stuff for the first time in a long while -- and it was even good enough to make snowmen (snow people?) and engage in a snowball fight.
