COLONIALS WIN 5-1, HEAVY RAIN IN CH THIS MORNING



The Colonial Heights Colonials picked up a 5-1 win over Meadowbrook yesterday afternoon at Shepherd Stadium. Casey Barnes picked up the win on the mound and Kenny Stoneback, Danial Falls and Aaron Easter each had 2 hits for the Colonials. The Colonials have 1 game left next Thursday at home against Matoaca at 6pm. In other CD games yesterday Dinwiddie 3 Prince George 0, Matoaca 11 Hopewell 0 and TD won by forfeit over Petersburg. The CH girls soccer team beat Meadowbrook 6-0 and the boys team won 1-0. We have had some very heavy rain here in CH this morning, since midnight we have had 1.50 inches and there is a chance of rain most of the weekend. I am suppose to go see UVA play UNC in baseball weather permitting on Saturday, they have had allot of rain in Charlottesville also. Hopefully all this rain has washed allot of the pollen away for a while, it was pretty bad yesterday. The Nascar Sprint Cup Series will be at Darlington on Saturday night. The NHL playoffs are still going on with Detroit with a 1-0 lead over Dallas and Philadelphia and Pittsburgh will start there series tonight. MICKEY

When life's problems seem overwhelming, look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself fortunate.
Ann Landers


Freedom from anger
Acknowledge your anger, feel it fully, allow it to be, and then quickly move beyond it. Instead of fighting against your anger or letting it control you, choose to experience it and then let it go.

When you hold on to anger, it drags you down. By allowing and then quickly dropping the anger, you put yourself in a powerful position to deal with whatever brought about that anger.

Anger can get your attention and get you going. Yet if you hold it for long it will surely hold you back.

Sometimes your anger may be valid and other times it may not. Whether it is valid or not, anger almost always makes you much less effective and hinders your ability to move forward.

Anger often perpetuates and strengthens those very things at which it is directed. So the best strategy is to first let it be and then let it go.

Decide to be strong and effective, to put your energy into moving forward. Drop the anger and raise yourself to a higher level of positive control and effectiveness.
