It seems there is a new style of reality television these days, which involves celebrities and profession-als working together.
You have the figure skaters with “star” part-ners, there are the ballroom dancers, and now it’s chefs in the kitchen with celeb-rity assistants.
That’s great until your dentist and oral hygienist start thinking about bring-ing John Stamos in to as-sist on your root canal.
How about Farrah Faw-cett assisting on an angio-plasty with Wayne Newton as the anesthesiologist? Now, that I’ll tune in for.

Congratulations to our former student Haley Tomlin for her first place win at the State Agris-cience Fair recently.
Haley’s project on the Effects of Stratification on apple seeds was selected as the top experiment.
Her experiment was complete with hypothesis, results and conclusion, which are all the makings of a great science experi-ment.
It’s nice to see our stu-dents going on to high school, successfully.

The Student Govern-ment enjoyed some role- play with the Board of Education recently.
Students participating in the event were Katie Giv-ens, Mark Rinkus, Sadie Robertson, Marti Ham-mell, Ben Gardner, Katie Moran, Alison DiDonato, Alison Tice and Nick Crippen.
You may recognize some of these names be-cause their parents, at one time or another, were the “Real McCoy.”
Nick Crippen was elected as the board presi-dent and all the student members discussed and voted on two issues.
First, what they would cut from the school budget during a crisis: shop or technology?
Sorry all you wood workers, the band saw was axed in a five-to-four deci-sion.
The next question they had to wrestle with was school uniforms. Uni-forms were voted down by the same margin, five to four.
Those fun Back-to-School shopping trips to the mall are not in jeop-ardy. Thank goodness.

March Madness reached a fever pitch in the school gym for Mr. Hammell’s annual Hot Shot competi-tion.
This year had an added twist. Former students participated with their younger siblings.
The third place winners were brothers, Conner and Jordan Dean, second place went to Tyler and John Robertson and first place winners this year were the hottest shooters around: brothers, Tim and Kyle Dougherty.
It should be noted that Anthony and Al DiCicco were in a shoot-out for third place against the Dean brothers. I think youth may have played a part in the Shoot-Out re-sults.

Until next week, stop by Pembrook Farms and check out the indoor riding ring.
Call me with your stuff. Also, plan on voting April 18, one way or another.
West Cape May – The amount of TV shows airing is getting out of hand. Less movies are being produced today than ever before. Instead, people are glued to watching shows that most people never heard of.
