KINSTON - Nash Central had been building toward this historic moment since the school opened in 2002 -- a chance to qualify for the Class 3-A Eastern Regional Boys Basketball Tournament for the first time.
After seven years of hard work, the Bulldogs stood just over one minute away from reaching that lofty goal last Friday night.

| | 5508. | Dale Watson to perform at Nash Arts
Some say he’s put the “C” back in Country Music, but Dale Watson prefers to call his own genre of music Ameripolitan.
During the time he released his latest album, “From The Cradle To The Grave,” Watson was quoted saying, “I’ve been trying to come up with a name the best describes this music that me and folks similar do. When folks ask, I hesitate, down right embarrassed really, to say country. I didn’t used to be that way, but with the change in country, the term doesn’t mean the same as it used to. If you say traditional, or old, or western swing most folks think ‘retro’ and dismiss it without hearing it. I wanted a name that didn’t say country anything and didn’t give anyone a preconceived idea. I came up with Ameripolitan. I even put it in Wikipedia defined as: Original music with ‘prominent’ roots influence.”

It's kinda funny how a lot of us Aventon ladies think. On Tuesday night, Melanie Lucero dropped by Donna Milligan's home for a short visit. Sue Shearin and her friend Pat Buede from Lake Lure, Mary Ann Holland and JoJo Ricks were riding by and saw their cars, so they decided to stop and make sure nothing was wrong. Everything was fine, but a short visit by one turned into a longer visit with four more ladies. A fun time was had by all. Thank you Terri for letting us keep Donna from cooking your supper.

"Basically, you have one light at each ramp entrance and exit and then one that will kind of light up the bridge itself," he explained.

Some days, this whole “economic crisis” can really get you down.
For me, a Nerf gun, some homemade ice cream, church and a bluegrass jam put a real dent in it. More on that later in the column.
There are plenty of talking heads on TV that can explain the current economic situation so well that no one understands it. These folks are called “academics.” which is a Greek word that means “never worked in the Real World, and have no concept of how things actually work.” The Greeks were very good at shortening phrases.

Last week, many of you may have noticed on one of the major broadcast networks a recurring theme of “Green” was a major part of the plot — and on some shows, we use the word “plot” loosely — in each show.
Since “being green” or acting in an environmentally conscious way is considered largely a Liberal cause, the event was a chance to “raise awareness.” Of course, had the same thing occurred on the Fox Network, or been a Conservative cause, it would have been called by its more common name of “brainwashing.”

I am, of course, referring to the “Economic Stimulus Bill” of 2009. Once you start talking about hundreds of billions of dollars, it gets beyond my comprehension.
Admittedly — as many teachers at Southern Nash and later, Atlantic Christian College can attest — my math isn’t always so good. But I do think the last total I saw mentioned on the Economic Stimulus Bill amounted to the United States spending $1 million a day for the next 3,000 years.
