I promised you pictures of the 2010 Ruskin Talent Show produced by Senior Jordan Williams, hosted by students Mar'Quita Dixon, LaKeitha Boston, Jason Long and Co-hosted by Julee Jonez and Brian B Shynin of Hot 103 Jamz. "It was the best show ever!" That's what I heard from the students that attended. From acts that could appear on ABDC on MTV along with the Rap groups that performed to a Violinist playing the hits you hear on Hot 103 Jamz.  You should have been there!

 

Pictures taken by Ruskin Hi-Light Newspaper staff Faith Slaughter and Antonia Roach. There is a part 1 and part 2!

As I get older I tend to reminisce a lot more about the good ole days “Reminisce on the love we had….” sorry got carried away. In my reminiscing I find that it is caused by change which “Change Gone Come” no matter how bad you don’t want it to. On a recent journey to Worlds of Fun, with the students of Smith Hale’s 8th grade graduation class of 2013, I realized that a sista girl is getting to old for this kind of activities, but still remember many fun times I had there in the past. I miss the Zambezi Zinger so much, and not just because it was fun to ride with a boy, that was a really cool ride. This year the new attraction the Prowler is off the chain.

Dear Editor:

I'm trying to understand what possible motivation you may have had for publishing that vile cartoon depicting the shooting of the chimpanzee that went crazy. I guess you thought it would be funny to suggest that whomever was responsible for writing the Economic Recovery legislation must have the intelligence and judgment of a deranged, violent chimpanzee, and should be shot to protect the larger community. Really? Did it occur to you that this suggestion would imply a connection between President Barack Obama and the deranged chimpanzee? Did it occur to you that our President has been receiving death threats since early in his candidacy?
