PA PA (ALVIN E. GOULDER)



It was 4 years ago that Pa Pa passed away, he will always be missed. The Green Bay Packers actually looked like a fairly good football team again yesterday in beating the 49ers 30-19 after last weeks debacle with the Jets, meanwhile the Redskins fell to the Eagles 21-19, the Skins just turned the ball over to many times in this one. Nascar champion Jimmy Johnson broke his wrist over the weekend at charity golf tournament in Florida, apparently the person who was driving the cart made a sharp turn an Johnson wasn't holding on and fell out the side of the cart. Both the Colonial Heights girls and boys basketball teams will be in action tonight against Lee-davis, the girls will be at Lee-davis while the boys team will be at home. It's going to feel like spring again today with temps in the low 60's. Don't forget Christmas is 2 weeks from today, just check the countdown clock for the exact time until Christmas. MICKEY

What's in a name
Yes, there is a Chef Boyardee, although his name is not spelled that way. Hector Boiardi, an Italian immigrant, came to the United States in 1914 when he was only 17.

6 Meals a Day?
Mom may have taught you to eat 3 square meals, but new research suggests that people who eat 6 smaller meals a day are healthier, and have an easier time maintaining their weight and cholesterol levels. By avoiding larger meals in favor of more frequent smaller ones, your body becomes more conducive to metabolizing food. It just takes a little planning; it could be as simple as dividing your lunch. If you'd normally eat a sandwich, with pretzels and fruit, eat the sandwich at lunchtime, then save the pretzels and fruit for later in the afternoon.

1816, Indiana became the 19th state.
1872, America's first black governor took office as Pinckney Benton Stewart Pinchback became acting governor of Louisiana.
