After a weeks-long legal battle, Brooke and Martinsburg high schools will head to the rescheduled Class AAA state championship football game this weekend. The championship game will be 7 p.m. Saturday in Wheeling. The state Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commissions suspension of four South Charleston High football players. The SSAC suspended nine players after an end-of-game brawl at the Nov. 19 Hurricane/South Charleston quarterfinal game: four from Hurricane and five from South Charleston. But four South Charleston players Tyler Harris, Pierria Henry, Trevond Reese and Emerson Gagnon contended game officials did not follow proper protocol when expelling them from the game and took the issue to court.

My guess is that not many Americans under 40 have heard of the once famous singer/dancer/ band leader Cab Calloway (1907-1994). Some may remember him from the 1980 movie "The Blues Brothers" in which Calloway, who was then in his 70s, appeared. But why isn't he more generally remembered, along with his illustrious contemporaries such as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington? After all, Calloway was a musical star not just for a few years, but for decades. According to author Alyn Shipton, his original recording of "Minnie the Moocher" - the song with which he was universally identified - was "the first million-selling disc by an African- American artist.

AUGUSTA - Democrats are once again accusing Gov. Paul LePage of putting politics before people after the leak of an internal memo stating Maine's new governor "will put 11,000 bureaucrats to work getting Republicans re-elected. That is the job of the Republican Party. That is what [GOP Chairman] Charlie Webster does," said Ben Grant, chairman of the Maine Democratic Party. "That is not the job of state employees."
All the biographical facts are there, presented in a straightforward manner with archival photographs and narration: rape at age ten, prostitution at fourteen, racism, the drugs and alcohol.
