Prep 1-0 Nov. 15 at Skyline Stadium.
The Spartans’ goal came off the right foot of junior midfielder Shea O’Donnell in the 32nd minute of the game and proved to be the shot that ended Bellarmine Prep’s season.
Skyline put its diligent practice to work when sophomore forward Michelle Bretl fed O’Donnell the ball from 35 yards out. With her back to the goal and about 18 yards out, O’Donnell took a quick first touch, spun around one defender and crossed it back to the far left corner of the goal, just past Bellarmine goalkeeper Ciarra Pederson.
The team had been working on midfielders targeting the forwards in practice, said Skyline head coach Don Braman.
“It was a great combo,” he said. “The girls did a great job to link passes together.” Read more

Come be enchanted by ‘Beauty and the Beast’
November 18, 2008
It doesn’t matter if you love the story from your childhood, barely remember it or only recall the 1980s’ television series (starring Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton), you shouldn’t miss Village Theatre’s latest creation, “Beauty and the Beast.”
The Beast, Eric Polani Jensen, laments that he will not get Belle or anyone else to fall in love with him before a magic spell condemns him to remaining a beast forever. By Jay Koh/Village Theatre
Mesmerizing, enchanting, joyful — what a perfect choice for this year’s holiday production!
Jennifer Paz is an exciting and fun Belle. She brings a strong voice, abundant emotion and lots of spunk to this traditional story about love and seeing people for who they are on the inside.
Maurice (John X. Deveney) gives a touching performance as her sweet and loving father.
And there’s nothing more heart wrenching than a broken Beast (Eric Polani Jensen) as he falls to his knees, choking out the words of “If I Can’t Love Her” at the end of Act 1. Bring a hankie for this number.But the name of this play should be changed to “Lumiere and the Beast’s Other Wonderful Inanimate Objects,” because they truly steal the show.

’Tis the season for catching a virus

Learn how to tell the difference between a cold and influenza
Children younger than 6 are especially susceptible to the influenza virus. Contributed
As the seasons transition from summer to fall and then again to winter, unwanted visitors pay a visit to households across the nation — viruses.
Depending upon which virus infiltrates, residents are gifted with either the common cold or the more severe flu.
So, to help prevent a longer stay or even an infiltration in the first place, what’s a person to do? According to the old wives’ tale, you “feed a cold, starve a fever.”
But, what does that mean? And is it even true?
Doctors like Hui-Ying LeSage, of the Swedish Physicians Pine Lake clinic, have been trying to undo the misinformation from that one ill-begotten bit of wisdom for ages. Read more
