With an opening victory in the NFL Exhibition season, the Lions opened the defense of their 2008 pre-season title with 27-26 victory. In 2008 Detroit proved to be the NFL’s “King of Beasts (in August)” with a 4-0 record. Next up in the series are the Cleveland Browns who the Lions beat 26-6 in last years warm up.

One fan created a special tribute in hope that “The Schwartz would be with us” (Spaceballs 1987). With the Lions changing the Bubbles Logo, can a replacement for the Roary mascot be far behind? Perhaps the John Candy character might be a proper fit after August. In Mel Brooks we trust?

To date, only one candidate has committed to run for the two contested school board seats in November.  Current board president Ann Glubzinski is seeking re-election.   Ann has done an excellent job during her tenure, so we’re glad to see she still has the energy to continue on, knowing more tough decisions are ahead.

Also up for re-election is Jeff Neilson… but so far, he has not gone public with his plans.

** Newsflash ** Former school board trustee and former Village Oaks Principal Dave Brown has filed.
