2012 - GATEWAY YOUTH PROGRAM
A Great Volunteer Event
The evening was pretty quiet downtown, but it was not that way inside
The Coffee Pot. All the tables and chairs were full of children
and families – not a seat left in the room. The Gateway Youth
staff was busy handing out paint and brushes and everyone was painting
toys for the community! These two organizations partnered to sponsor an
amazing evening event this past Thursday that drew about 80 community
children and family members. The event was planned to connect
kids with a project that will benefit other children and to experience

When I was a boy, sagging fences of rusted wire crisscrossed the
countryside. Old cedar and locust fence post, burdened with vines,

the crops. Some fences were like new but others were old, broken down,
and rusty. The rusty wire fence... Read

CINCINNATI REDS
Reds a winner in Choo deal
The Cincinnati Reds' biggest need going into this offseason was a true
leadoff hitter and center fielder. Michael Bourn or Angel Pagan would
have been a great fit, but both free agents were out of the Reds' price
