Pardon Me Please
Today (Wednesday), President Obama will participate in the the annual White House Thanksgiving Turkey pardon, a tradition where presidents “pardon” a turkey from slaughter in a White House ceremony. The turkey is typically shipped off the Disneyland to live out the rest of its days.
… White House aides prepping for today’s annual turkey pardoning released a humorous video preview in advance of the goofy ceremony. Shot from the perspective of the pardoned turkey and featuring a voice-over by White House assistant press secretary Ben LaBolt, the film by White House videographer Arun Chaudhary features background music from the classic Western “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” — with occasional turkey gobble sounds added at key moments.

The Summerville Bears have had an impressive season to say the least! But this past weekends game against Ripon, the first of the playoffs, was one of the best with the weather elements making even more fun watch! Here are some great video highlights!
Go Bears!
Congratulations to The Bears and Wildcats!
The Summerville Bears held the lead all night against Ripon, bringing home the win with a 33-0 final score and move on to round 2 of the playoffs next Friday November 27th to face the Central Catholic Raiders in Modesto.

Good Morning Mother Lode!
3 big things to tell you on this Friday morning! It’s National Peanut Butter Fudge Day, Oprah is saying goodbye and The Playoffs kick off tonight here at home! Click the banner below to listen to the live stream of tonights game! Summerville takes on Ripon at Home
It’s true…Oprah is saying goodbye America, kinda.
Oprah Winfrey will end her popular television talk show at the end of its 25th season in September 2011. Oprah will make the official announcement on her show today (Friday), and disclose the reasons behind the decision.
… Oprah started her broadcasting career in Nashville and Baltimore, before relocating to Chicago in 1984 to host WLS-TV’s morning talk show A.M. Chicago, which was renamed The Oprah Winfrey Show a year later.
… Sources say Oprah will move to her own cable network. She’d still have a talk show, one based on Los Angeles, but it would not be syndicated. It would be on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), formerly Discovery Health.
… Word is she will be making her big announcement today (Friday) because it’s the last taping day of the show for the rest of the year. FYI..I’m writing this blog from Oprah’s Hometown this morning, Kosciusko, Mississippi!
Today’s mystery word is “Mud”. Be the 3rd caller at 532-9350 when you hear it and you’ll be a winner this morning!
Have a great Mother Lode Weekend and Good luck to the Bears and The Wildcats!
