Passion and pain often one and the same

Passion and pain often one and the same

Dancers’ feet may look graceful and elegant, but what’s underneath the shoes can be shocking. Most sport injuries are thought to happen during contact sports. Unfortunately, most dancers know that this is not true.

On Feb. 1, eight local citizens were arrested during a protest at the K&H Partners injection well site on U.S. 50 near Coolville. The Athens Friends Meeting (Quaker) would like to acknowledge both the disciplined behavior of the 150 demonstrators and the respect and professional manner of local law officers in making the arrests (according to a Feb. 3 article in The Post).

Editorial: 'Social host' rule wouldn't prevent underage drinking

Graduate Student Senate President Joel Newby announced last week that local law enforcement officials are considering asking Athens City Council to enact a “social host” ordinance. Basically, that would permit law enforcement to arrest a person of legal drinking age who “negligently” allows an underage person to have or consume alcohol at his or her home.

Letter: CIT a bigger perk for team than for fans

Isolated as I am down here in the alternative universe known as Florida, the news from Athens arrives only sporadically. Thus, I just recently read of Coach Jim Christian’s lament about the general perception of the Bobcats’ men’s basketball team’s post-season berth in the CIT (Collegeinsider.com Tournament). Yes, dear reader, I sense your question even from this distance: “What in the world is the CIT?” From the article in question I have learned what it is not: it is not the NCAA, not the NIT and not the CBI. Coach Christian, much to his credit, defends his players from “the snark, cynicism and sarcasm during this time of the year — by media, pundits and fans.” (That is, just about everybody except the Athletic Kingdom.)
