  Spelling Bee Challenge

So, you think you can spell? Why not match your skills with the finest spellers this side of the Platte River? BUILD is hosting it’s first ever community wide Spelling Bee challenge. Teams of 4 will face off against one another in a tournament format until only one is left standing. The winning team’s reward: They have just “earned” the opportunity to challenge Louisville High School’s finest spellers for all the fame and glory that comes with winning the Spelling Bee Challenge.

Get your team of four together, bring your lucky dictionary, and join us on April 3rd in the Louisville School “Old Gym” for a great community event.

For those who are a little leery of spelling in front of the entire community, don’t fret it. We will be adding a nice little spin on traditional spelling bees by incorporating help from the audience and your team mates. This is all about fun and Community Spirit keeping alive the fun we had with the Louisville Trivia Challenge

Registration is $100 per team, and there are many local businesses just waiting to sponsor your courageous efforts in this fun, nail-biting Community event.

From the Editor
A Little More Change
Goodby to Jamions $5 TV
 
Vanna, we have a Problem...
 
As I understand it, after 2 years, and millions of dollars of advertising and public service messages we are in a digital pickle.
Unless, there is a last minute Bail Out or something we are going to experience a wide scale, soap opera shortage 2 weeks from today.
 
No way around it, that $5 Basement workshop TV that Jamion Biesterfeld sold me at his Garage Sale 6 years ago, is doomed.
He could have warned me, but NO!
 
Hey, at least they waited till after the Super Bowl
 
There is still so much confusion about this, and it is not  that hard:
 
OK Step 1: Look at your Check Book
 
did you write a check to somebody last month for your TV shows? Cable, or Satellite or whatever? If you did, then nothing is gonna change, except that crummy old TV in the garage with the rabbit ear antenna, and it is doomed.
 
If you are a cheap piker like me, watchin Free TV and have been twisting around those rabbit ears on your Magnavox Console to get a clearer picture of Vanna White every evening..
 
Well, you cheap, Free TV dude bad news - 2 weeks from now, Vanna will Vanish - forever. You can twist those rabbit ears every which way, and it is just gonna be snow. Why?, there will be no more TV signal to receive, not here, not in Tampa, not in Butte Montana - - it is over. Everywhere. Get a libary card.
 
That TV that Jeff had above the Meat Department where you could sneak a peek at the game while you picked out your salami or pickle loaf -  gone.
 
Ok, here is the good news - there is still free TV, and it is better than the old free TV. They just could not have 2 different kinds of free TV, so the old one had to go.
 
The name for Free TV Old type - was ANALOG
The name for Free TV New type - is Digital
 
it used to be that we got our music by dragging a small needle through the dusty grooves on a black plastic Iron Butterfly record that was spinning. That needle wiggled, with the bumps in the plastic groove, that were made when the music was embeded in that plastic groove. the bumps, were formed by the music - they were an analogy of the original music.
 
Thats why they call it Analog
(now you can explain this like an expert to your wife!
She will be so impressed, she will tell you to go by a 52" Plasma DTV! Sweet!)
 
Later a nerd used a computer and took all those dusty black bumps, decoded what, where, and whatever to numbers ( ones and zeros ) that were more precise, less dusty, and Digital Music was born. Same nerds, figured out how to broadcast TV in pure digital, and called it Digital TV (DTV)
 
Now that you have all the correct terminology Click HERE and read about your options.
 
Analog will go the way of the 8-Track tape, and make way for the time of all things digital. I confess; I already feel nostalgic for our simple world. I have a feeling radio is next, and I am not going to be happy when they take my AM Radio away. Nothing like listening to a ball game on a scratchy little Pocket Radio.
 
This is 2009. We have the first ever US President that uses Email and carries a Blackberry
 
When the President visits Louisville next time, he will appreciate our Free WiFi on main Street . So will the Secret Service.
 
 
Having Fun and Lookng for Vanna South of the River
