Fire Prevention Week
0T his upcoming week is recognized by the National Fire Protection Agency and the fire service as Fire Prevention Week. This year’s theme is “Don’t Wait-Check the Date.” What it means is that smoke alarms need to be replaced if they are ten years old or older. The message normally centers on changing batteries, proper placement, and regular testing. This is the first time that I remember a theme that focuses on replacing old smoke alarms. This would be a good time, if you do not have a CO detector, to replace your smoke alarm with a combination detector. If…

The Lions do get their locations authorized by the retail sites well in advance of their Spring and Fall fundraiser weekends. The Chester Lions get the majority of their funds for the year from those two weekends. All of the money collected at the two White Cane weekends stays in the community and is used for the…
Week 6 – Dinwiddie 28, Thomas Dale 19
0Dinwiddie had racked up points and defensive stops on the way to an unbeaten record heading into Friday’s Central District match-up with visiting Thomas Dale. While the Generals emerged with a 28-19 victory, things didn’t look so good for the home team as the evening progressed. “I was concerned at practice [Thursday],” said Dinwiddie coach Billy Mills. “I know we have had a good run, but we hadn’t really been challenged. We had experienced a team making a run at us this year.” Thomas Dale was ready, and they capitalized on some Dinwiddie special teams mishaps early on. A shanked…
Dogpound Politics
0Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. As of this writing they have finished the first of three presidential debates….and the world kept on turning without missing a step. Now of course we have two more presidential debates and a Vice President debate [yawn!] to get through…but I suspect we will survive those as well. The debate went pretty much as I suspected it would. Hillary was well prepared as any lawyer would be…standing straight and stiff….reciting memorized lines with a slight amused smile, while Trump…came in pretty much unprepared…shooting from the hip and foot…along with…
