Let me repeat...TOM NOLAN SENT A PICTURE OF HIMSELF WEARING A DEVIL SHIRT TO JOHN BURNS WHILE ON VACTION IN HAWAII...RU KIDDING ME??? Think you got better things to do in HAWAII?
Meanwhile, on the same page, A Young Student and Golf Player Martin Gonzalez sent a picture to John Burn's Website of himself wearing a Ellenville tee-shirt with two Golf clubs crossing each other...Way to go Gonzalez, The Young will lead the Old.

Ellenville School District- John Burns...Since when has a PUBLIC SCHOOL become one man's Private Sanctuary? His own Religious Devil Mascot. His own Religious Devil Club. His own hand-picked coaches. In the August 20th edition of Shawangunk Journal, SporTalk: Burns admitted that in the past, he took a big sigh of relief when a small group of parents of children in the Ellenville School District and Community members failed to kick out the Devil Mascot. During that time, students wittnessed John Burns and others campaigning for Devil Support during School Hours...DURING PUBLIC SCHOOL HOURS!!! Now Burns, The Social Studies Teacher, is declaring that he will only accept three people to fill Tom Nolan, his buddy's vacant coaching spot, for the Ellenville Girl's Varsity program. Maxwell Mead, Phil Althouse, and Tim Lukaszewski. BURNS WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYONE, BUT THE 3 PERSONS HE PICKED. Has Ellenville become a Private School?...Burn's Devil Academy. Forget about parents, administration, or the school board...it's Burns or Bust. I can see it now...Burns thinking, 1sr The Devil Mascot, then The Devil Club, Now The Devil Coaches...then The Devil Teachers (one pinky on side of his mouth)...then The Devil Board!!! MooooHaHaHa!!! But don't worry True Believers, The Blue Angel is here to save the Day!!! Remember to support your Noble Lions and support Wawarsing Youth, despite some of their devil tee-shirts. Go, Lions, Go!!!

The Blueberry Fest: Walking on Market Street.

Ellenville- On Center Street, The Show is on! All kinds of food, information and merchandise...but on The Side Street called Market , the road is less traveled. Market Street, the location of ArtWave, Christ Ministries Baptist Church, Shawangunk Journal, T' s barbershop, Manny's boxing, Star's dance studio and Arianna's Pizza!!! Walking by 4 or 5 Blueberry Festival vendors, one caught my eye. ...Snacks-4-U. The Owner, Patrick Ingle, proudly displaying his Elect Gil Davis sticker, and was proud to let me know he was a member of The Ellenville Wawarsing Chamber of Commerce and Clients included The Wawarsing Highway Dept. From Triple head bulk candy machines to Snack Magic counter machines, Snacks-4-U had it all. Ingle wants local businesses to know there are no contracts or fees to place one of his machine in their place of business. For more information call 845-647-2085 or visit http://www.snacks4u.info/.

John Burns: The Devil Keeper.

Ellenville School District- The Great John Burns, A Man of Great Passion for His Devil! A Man of Conviction, A Man that ultimately cares a great deal for the youth of this community. A Man who breathed a Big Sigh of Relief when he found out His Devil Mascot would be with him and His PUBLIC SCHOOL for as long as he lives. I have to admit, The Great John Burns and His Supporters showed great restraint and tolerance for those wishing to kill The Blue Devil Mascot. When one thinks of The Ellenville School District, one thinks of the Wonderful Superintendent Lisa Wiles. The Faithful School Board member Pastor Collins and The Social Studies Teacher, The Great John Burns. The Last thing one would think of these people would be....Devils. Yet, all allow this Evil being to represent them. Look up Blue Devils in the Dictionary...blue devils (1781)-low spirits, Despondency. But don't worry True Believers, The Ellenville Angel is watching those who want to do the right thing...not the popular thing. The Blue Angel will continue to Highlight The Noble Lions of Wawarsing Christian Academy and remind All Parents and Residents that being Despondent is not a good thing. When all is said and done, and John Burns is praised for all his hard work and good deeds...Devil Keeper will be attached to His Name.

Blue Angel Sports Talk: Army football is here!!!

West Point- Excited about Army football? You should be! New coach, new system...maybe a new quarterback. Army coach Rich Ellerson has been impressed with freshman quarterback Trent Steelman. Steelman's quick, accurate and knows how to run the option. While Army quarterbacks rarely start as freshman, steelman could be the exception. Right now it looks as if Junior, Bowden will be starting. While Bowden has a lot of grit and ability to scramble, Steelman is the next Big Thing! Army's first Game will be at Eastern Michigan, September 5th. Go, Army, Go!!!

Best Soul Food Around: LA CAFE!!!

Ellenville- Entering LA CAFE is a pleasure in itself...Soul stirring smells, nice music, a friendly face. Meet Lamont of LA CAFE, a cool dude, a great cook. Lamont was glad to take me down the list of food he served...from Soul food like fried chicken, fish, and pork chops to Latin food like Pasteles (green bananas), pastelillos (beef or chicken patties), and Bistec Encebollado (steak and onions). There's always something good cook'in. LA CAFE even sells coffee...for those who want to sit down and enjoy the view (village square). Or one could just sit at the counter and watch news or sports on the flat-screen. Lamont wants the public to know that catering is available for your Community Organizations, Churches or Sports Teams. After ordering fried chicken, macaroni and cheese and some collard greens....I really had to thank Lamont, the food was soooo good!!! As always, BUY LOCAL!!!
