COLONIALS WIN 10-8, VIRGINIA ALSO WINS

The Colonial Heights Colonials baseball team opened up the season with a 10-8 win over Varina last night. It wasn't pretty at times bit in the end every win is a good win. Offensively the Colonial were lead by Daniel Falls who went 3-5, Greg Tyler who went 2-3 with 2 RBI'S and Derek Mears who went 2-3. On the mound Mack Krupp went 4 strong innings and then was followed by Josh Markins and then Aaron Nelson cam in to shut the door. There was one very bad call in the game when Varina was awarded a HR on a ball that never left the park, I have enclosed a couple of photos of the evidence. The next game for us will be on Tuesday at L.C. Bird at 5pm. The Virginia baseball team picked up another win in ACC action last night beating Boston College 7-1, the Cavs will face the Eagles again today and tomorrow. Joy Logano captured his first career pole at Bristol yesterday edging out Kurt Busch for the top spot in Sundays race, I am sure that some tempers will be flaring tomorrow. Well we will be heading up to pick up Mozart in a few hours, I think he has allot of toys already and yes he does have a piano. MICKEY

Tea/Green Tea
Studies show that green tea—infused with the antioxidant EGCG—reduces the risk of most types of cancer. "The phytonutrients in tea also support the growth of intestinal bacteria," says Bowerman. "Specifically, they inhibit the growth of bad bacteria—E. coli, Clostridium, Salmonella—and leave the beneficial bacteria untouched." Why is this important? "Because up to 70 percent of your immune system is located in your digestive tract," says Bowerman. "Four cups a day will keep it functioning at its peak."

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits. Thomas Jefferson
