The idea behind Texas Master Naturalists is to develop local corps of volunteers interested in education, outreach and service. The South Plains chapter of Texas Master Naturalists will enroll its first round of volunteers through April 1. Training for these volunteers is set to begin in late April.

I don't know if that result will give us an advantage or not. You can look at it two ways. They might be on a downer and maybe the long journey back home will have affected them and they could be a wee bit less focused than they normally would be for the game.

I had some one just ask me if the fourth one was better than any of the others and they all are great. There's nothing like winning state.

I'm kind of at a loss for words about how I feel. If Councilman Koester thinks I come across as a jerk, I think I owe an explanation that I work in a loud environment (printing shop), and I have to raise my voice.

It's an aging population in Rhode Island. We're maintaining the middle-aged population, but we're losing some of our elderly to warmer climates, and some of our post-college younger people are looking for greener pastures.

Dawn Cannady would want us to laugh, she'd want us to fight and she'd want us to work together to keep fighting for a cure.
