This game has gone viral. The ontroversial ending is all over the internet. It is even on Rivals, the premiere websource for high school sports and college recruiting. I’ve seen the youtube video posted numerous times on Facebook and discussed on spartantailgate.com, one of the most frequented websites in the world and maybe the most [...]

An often misquoted and misunderstood biblical phrase, “out of the mouths of babes,” is loosely used to convey the sense that children, perhaps unfettered by world-weariness, often express wisdom that is beyond (or at least forgotten by) their elders. Sadly, in my experience, that is not often enough the case. I read a nice article [...]
Tough break for the Plymouth Wildcats

Westland John Glenn (my high school alma mater) got a lucky break, on an incredibly controversial play, and beat the Plymouth Wildcats on a last second touchdown at Glenn’s homecoming game last week. The Wildcats blocked a field goal attempt but the ball did not pass the line of scrimmage. It was picked up by [...]

A 16 year old student in the Plymouth-Canton School District has tested positive or probable for “Swine Flu.” The school district is closing all schools May 4 and 5. I can just imagine that panic is going to start setting in around town. I’m personally not too worried about this, but if you are I [...]

The March 15, 2009, Plymouth Observer reported that officials of the Plymouth-Canton School District are trying to get their hands on millions of dollars in federal stimulus money. The funds wouldn’t got to keeping teachers employed, anything to improve the curriculum or even balance the budget, but would got to several so-called “green” initiatives. Superintendent [...]

It was funny the first time but…

A few weeks back I made a lighthearted post about the Plymouth-Canton School District’s automated school closing alert telephone calls. I was impressed by the system but a tad miffed at being called at 5:15 a.m. I understand, though, that word needs to get out early so parents can prepare appropriately. One phone call, though, [...]

Anticipating this morning’s mini-blizzard, knowing that the roads would be too lousy to do my 6:00 a.m. gym routine, I stayed up late reading, putzing around the ‘net, etc. 5:30 a.m. sharp our phone rings…and rings…and rings. Stops. Ah, silence. Ten seconds later the phone rings again…and rings…and rings. The phone calls I’ve gotten over [...]

88.1 FM, which broadcasts from the Plymouth Canton Educational Park, is student-run radio. WSDP is buried all the way over to the left of the dial (for those of us that remember radio dials) and doesn’t have the strongest broadcast signal, but it comes in crystal clear in town and within a few miles from [...]
Her first day at Smith Elementary

We’ve lived in Plymouth almost three years, but our daughter attended private school all of the last three school years. Today was her first day at Smith Elementary and my first chance to see the inside of the school. It was nice to meet our daughter’s teacher, see her class and get a look around [...]
