Good luck Golden Bears
If you are a fan of Oak Glen High School athletics, this is the perfect weekend to take a road trip. The Lady Bears hit the road a day ago for the WVSSAC Class AA State volleyball tournament, which begins this morning, in Charleston. Coach Ethel Riser and her 2009 edition are to be commended for a superb season as they attempt to make it two-straight state titles. Oak Glen opens defense of its title at 8:30 this morning against Liberty Raleigh. A win puts them in a semifinal at 6:30 tonight. The title game is set for 10 a.m. Saturday. Also Saturday, the Oak Glen football team plays in the state playoffs for the first time in 16 years and only the second time in the history of the program. That game is scheduled for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff at Wayne’s Pioneer Field, about a 30-minute drive south of Huntington. Coach Tony Filberto has led the Bears to a 6-4 mark in 2009, as they enter today’s contest against undefeated Wayne.

Avoid those power lines
Springtime is when many homeowners start cleaning up in the yard after a long winter. But that cleaning can be dangerous, especially when it involves trimming trees around power lines.
This is the time of season many trees are cut down.
