Cory Moore Classic
April 22, 2010 | Leave a Comment
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Second Annual Cory Moore Classic
Stuart, Iowa- The Cory Moore Classic is a charity basketball event developed to raise money for the Cory Moore Scholarship. This commemorative event will be held in the Menlo gym on April 30 and May 1, 2010.
In 2005, Cory’s life was cut short in a tragic swimming accident and this event serves as a way for the West Central Valley community to keep his memory alive.
This year’s event features five Alumni basketball teams from Stuart and the surrounding communities. Guthrie Center, Panorama and Nodaway Valley will be joining two WCV Alumni teams and the WCV Varsity on the court this year.
With construction of a new school taking place, this event will also be the last basketball games held in historic Menlo gym. This gives everyone a chance to watch a game where so many memories have been made!
Last year was the inaugural year for the Cory Moore Classic and it turned out to be a great event. Enough money was raised to fund the first Cory Moore Scholarship, and give a WCV Senior a better opportunity to further their education. This year, with additional help from the Dexter Sons of The American Legion, there will be two scholarship opportunities offered up through the Dollars for Scholars foundation.
The games will begin at 6, 7 and 8 PM Friday April 30th and Saturday May 1st. Please feel free to make donations to the Cory Moore Scholarship through First State Bank in Stuart. For additional information please contact Chris Mars at 515.468.8323

Both WCV teams have started the postseason with victories.
The girls won their first round regional game against Nodaway Valley in Greenfield 55-46 on Saturday behind Maggie Marnin’s 34 points and 11 rebounds. She now has 455 points this season, 10th best in the state, to go with her 313 rebounds, good for 5th best. The Lady Cats travel to Audubon tonight to face the Wheelers who beat Guthrie Center 56-47.
The boys stayed home and defeated Red Oak in the first round of districts last night in Menlo 66-40. Greg Dudley led the team with 14 points and 6 rebounds. Mason Hasty was right behind with 13 and 6. The boys’ next game will be in Menlo on Thursday against Guthrie Center who advanced with a 64-58 overtime win versus Griswold. The Cats are 0-2 this season against GC, losing the first game on a last second three-pointer and losing the second after going scoreless for most of the 4th quarter.

Buggin’ Out
October 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Seriously, where did all these lady bugs…err…Asian Lady Beetles come from? Supposedly these are good bugs. They don’t cause any damage other than being very annoying.
And making my windshield look like a battle scene in Lord of the Rings.
They smell and taste bad though. My cats have even figured this out.
I can’t even walk out my back door right now or 500 of these things will come in the house. It almost makes me yearn for the boxelder bug days.

Thiefs!

Lock your doors. There’s been a rash of break-ins lately. Subway and the pharmacy have both been hit as well as my truck, my neighbor’s garage and Rose’s car among others. I guess my secret $6 in the ashtray wasn’t as secret as I thought. On a sad note, since they didn’t take any of my cds does that mean I have bad taste in music? Either way, STAY OUT OF MY STUFF!
We’re down to two cops. Does that have anything to do with it? I say we hire this girl.

I’m taking a mini-vacation on Thursday. I’ll be back Sunday night with a new trip diary for both of you who are still interested.

Happy birthday today to…
…Muppet creator Jim Hensen
…”The Great Gatsby” author F. Scott Fitzgerald
…and me. After months and months of anguish, I finally turned 30 today. But please don’t send gifts. Instead, I’m asking everyone to make a donation to the Susan G. Komen foundation here. Or better yet, join my team and do the run/walk with us on October 24th.
