A Red Letter Day
I meant to comment on this when it was actually news but it needs to be broadcast regardless of its timeliness. Those of you not in NB may most certainly remember the horrific crash the claimed the lives 7 Bathurst High School basketball players and their coach's wife as they returned to Bathurst from a game in Moncton last January. What you may not know is the most recent (happy) chapter.
The whole region was devestated at the loss of these students and basketball was the farthest thing from anyone's mind at the time. Over time, however, the school rallied and put a team back together around the one remaining survivor. Bradd Arsenau (above) led the team to an undefeated season and had the game of his life in the AA finals at the Aitken Center 10 days ago. He finished with 25 points and 21 rebounds, was named MVP and got to be the first to cut the mesh down from the hoop. Now he has a day he'll never forget for all the right reasons.
I urge you to take a look at
this well-written article from the Telegraph Journal. It's nice to have a little good news for a change.
Pace out.

Good News First
All the best ideas have already been thought of...but not necessarily perfected.
We were watching the news last week and, after learning of more deaths in Afghanistan, an oil spill in BC, another potential election, and two seperate transport accidents, we decided that no news is better then just hearing the bad news and shut it off.
Over the weekend we got to thinking that maybe there is a market for a news show that only shows the good news. Simple enough; we only show stories with positive endings and thereby paint the regular news as the "Bad News". One channel shows our programme at 6 right before by the regular news and another channel shows it at 6:30 right after the regular news. That way everyone is happy. I actually thought we were on to something and I found my purpose in life. Of course someone found it before me.
I was actually intrigued enough with the idea that it was the first thing I looked up when I got to the office this morning, and sure enough, several people beat me to
it. This looks like
the best of the bunch.
There is still hope though...I think there might still be a market for professionally reported good news. I get the impression those sites are maintained by mental patietns on Prozac or old women with houses full of cats.
I'm Simon Pacey and that the Good News.
See it writes itself....
Pace out.
