Phillip Coffey - Last Ride

Last Ride - By Phillip Coffey

Become quite a gentleman - no more using his spurs.
Removing his sidearm from his holster while unfolding
His bedroll before riding off into the sunset -
A day he always feared and dread.

For the second home series in a row, the Blue Raiders welcomed in a non-conference opponent listed as receiving votes in the NAIA's coaches poll. Despite Mother Nature forcing the series to be condensed to two nine-inning games on Saturday, the locals focused in and grinded out two huge wins over Indiana Wesleyan University.

Aunt Julia's Pudding Story

"...I could still go back there and climb the hill, walk straight to that rock where I dumped the pudding..."

By Sharon Whitehurst


1905, Hague, NY -- Julia plunged down the back pasture slope, treading underfoot the purple violets and yellow disks of dandelions that studded the fresh spring grass with color. The empty bucket in her right hand rasped against her starched calico skirt, with every hasty step, her round face was pink with heat and distress.

She came to an abrupt halt at the pasture gate, wiped her face with her apron before sliding through the narrow space by the gatepost. Walking slowly now she crossed the dooryard to the back porch, let herself in to the dimness of the entry hall and through to the kitchen.

The kitchen smelled of scalded milk, burnt sugar, boiled potatoes. Crossing to the dry sink under the east window, Julia clattered the pail alongside an enameled kettle caked with a sticky residue. Pudding.
