COLONIAL HEIGHTS & CRAWFORD COUNTY OPEN UP THERE FOOTBALL SEASONS TONIGHT

The Colonial Heights Colonials & the Crawford County Eagles will open up there football seasons tonight both at home. The Colonials will play host to the Thomas Jefferson while Crawford County will play host to ther arch rivals Taylor County. Last night in CD high school football action it was Manchester 35 Thomas Dale 14, Matoaca 35 Henrico 16 and L.C. Bird beat Meadowbrook 18-12. Down at the beach tonight they will play the battle at the beach when Manteo visits First Flight, First Flight has never beat Manteo in football but allot of people think this year is the year. I went to the CH boys volleyball game last night in which the Colonials won 3 games to 2 over Patrick Henry, it was a pretty even game between the 2 teams. This week the Nascar Nextel & Busch Series are racing at the California Speedway. Don't forget to play the lottery tonight, it's worth a cool $330 million dollars. Tomorrow morning at this time I will be on my way to the beach for some R&R. It look like it is going to be little cool at the beach this weekend with high only in the low 80's. MICKEY

Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right.

Prevent Cooking Fires
Kitchen stoves are a common source of fires in the home.

Here are guidelines to help prevent fires in the kitchen, courtesy of New York's Department of State:

* Never place dishrags, pot holders or towels on or near a burner.
* When cooking, don't wear loose-fitting clothing or reach across the stove.
* Don't use any aerosol spray cans near the stove.
* Never lean against the stove while it's in use.
* Don't use towels in place of pot holders.
* Never let children around a hot stove or stove top.
* Don't place items above the stove -- like candy or cookies -- that children may try to reach.
