- Only A Junior - Israel Only A Junior Editor, Times-Union: "A Star Is Born" The above title, "A Star Is Born," does not justify the magnitude of this particular person, namely Shanna Zolman.It should have read, "A Super Star Is Born" and she is only a junior.This is a tribute to a once in a lifetime happening in our small Milford-Syracuse community. Every time she appears on the basketball court, she excels in a fashion like no other in the history of this sport in our entire area, and she is only a junior. With her unselfishness on the court, her noted team play is far overlooked by her critics.I have seen her pass up many, many lay-ups, only to give the ball to one of her teammates in order to preserve unity on the team.Without a doubt, she is the crown jewel of basketball in the entire state and she is only a junior.

- Guns In Australia - Millennium Edition Guns In Australia Editor, Times-Union: In the February 2000 issue of "Guns and Ammo" is an article that everyone who owns a firearm should read. On April 28, 1996, a maniac shot 35 people in Port Arthur, [Australia].The media started screaming about the evils of assault firearms.In just 12 days, laws were passed against owning firearms.In two weeks, from April 28 to May 10, millions of firearms were deemed illegal.The government totally banned all semi-auto rifles, shotguns and 22s.Ownership of any self-loading firearm was made a serious crime, punishable by multiple years in prison. These nuts that claim taking all the firearms away will decrease crime are wrong again.
