BASKETBALL SEASON COMES TO AN END FOR THE COLONIALS



Basketball season for both the Colonial Heights girls and boys teams came to an end last night in the 1st round of the Central District tournament. The CH girls team fell to Matoaca 67-54 and the boys team fell to Petersburg 79-47, I have to say the girls game was not one of the best officiated games that I have seen. The VCU Rams will try to move closer to capturing CAA regular season championship tonight when the travel to Boston to play Northeastern. Well my right shoulder is a bit sore this morning so my PAIN index has gone back up a bit. It looks like we could get a little freezing rain or sleet tomorrow night so be prepared for a little bit of winter weather Thursday night and Friday morning. MICKEY

HEALTH TIP
Zinc is a mineral that the body needs to help the immune system, in wound healing, and in the breakdown of carbohydrates. Second only to iron in its concentration in the body, zinc is found in protein-rich foods such as meat, peanuts and peanut butter, and legumes.


If you're not getting enough zinc, here's a list of possible warning signs, courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine:

* Slow growth rate.
* No appetite.
* Slow-healing wounds, lesions on the skin, and persistent infections.
* Hair loss.
* Abnormalities in your ability to taste and smell.
* Difficulty seeing in the dark.
* Insufficient hormone production in men.

Life is what you choose
The choices you've made have brought you to this point. Where do you choose to go next?

You have learned many things from the journey that you've taken. What do you wish to learn now?

From a vast array of possibilities, you have selected certain specific ones and successfully followed through with them. What are the possibilities that most interest you now?

It may sometimes seem that life is what happens to you. In truth, it is exactly the other way around.

Life is what you choose, what you do, what you think and what you create in each moment. All the other things going on provide the space and circumstances in which you make your life happen.

What do you choose to do with this day? Now is when you can bring your favorite dreams to life.

the officating wasn't the greatest last night but that wasn't the reason they lost.
