Heard through the grapevine
You may not know me but I hope you'll take note of my anagram. Scramble the letters in Monkey Alarm and you'll get my name: Mark Maloney!
A Monkey who has been a sportswriter for more than 35 years, covering everything from T-ball to Olympics, basketball and football to bobsled and judo. World Series, Super Bowl, NCAA, NAIA and high school games.
monkeyalarm.com will explore just about any sport you can imagine.
And more? I never know when a story outside of sports might catch my fancy. Over the years, I have written about musicians (including The Temptations, Coasters, Oak Ridge Boys), the Prince of Jordan and James Earl Jones. My favorite is a first-hand story when I became a kidney donor in March of 2000.
Happy reading!

No. 1 issue is not the economy
-- it's LIFE!
From The Declaration of Independence:
"... that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
As it should be, the first listed unalienable right is life. Nothing can be more important in any election than choosing candidates who stand up for life. Pro choice? Anyone who claims to be pro choice -- abortion rights is more accurate -- should be compelled to first witness an abortion via sonogram. See what it is that is being supported. It is unthinkable that anyone who sees the truth about abortion can deny the truth that abortion is murder. It also is in direct conflict with the Declaration of Independence.

In A Class By Himself

Jacob Thomson of Louisville Holy Cross was all by himself en route to breaking his own all-class state record in the 1,600-meter run. He later matched that in the 3,200, breaking the mark set 10 years earlier by Bobby Curtis. Details, see links, right.

The indoor facility adjacent to John Cropp Stadium still has finishing touches to come, but has been available for use as the University of Kentucky plays host to the Southeastern Conference Softball Tournament. The facility includes clay pitching surfaces, room for five batting cages and a full infield.
