COF: Tractor Boy showed advantage here in Flyover Country

Even if huge ice sheet breaks off and floods Eastern seaboard, Knifley will be High and Dry

About: "Great worrier worrying less now about polar ice melt"

Hmmm, If it does happen it appears from the article link that the Tractor Boy submitted it would affect primarily the N.American coastlines. Guess living in fly-over country has its advantages, after all!

Shaun Gooden gives added information Field of Dreams judging

Ed,

We know that the public voting will count for 1/2 of the final score, and the Sponsors judging panel results will count for the other 1/2 of the final score. Here is what the judging panel will be using to score their 1/2.

All entries will be judged based on the following judging criteria:

• "feasibility of field makeover" (10%)
• "location of the field" (10%)
• "how old is the field?" (10%)
• "how often is the field used?" (10%);
• "how many events take place on the field each month/year?"(10%)
• "what teams use the field?" (10%)
• are there other athletic fields in the community?" (10%)
• "Background: Demand for the field." (10%)
• "Condition: What shape is the field in?" (10%)
• "Impact: How would this field's makeover help the community?" (10%)

s/Shaun Gooden

Thanks. We hope that in the next 2 weeks 1 day of the voting, readers who know will send letters on what Adair County's answers to these questions might be -ED
