  • Williamstown woman is witness to change

    A tear squeezed from the corner of Della Jones’ eye on Jan. 20 as she watched Barack Obama take the podium to be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States.

    “Hallelujah,” she said softly to no one in particular.

    During Obama’s speech, she bobbed her head in agreement and smiled.

    Jones, who will turn 106 years old in July, continued to hope that she’d live to see the day that an African American would be elected as president.

Prior to the game Coach Gillispie and his players warned us that Auburn would be a difficult match up for the Cats and even went as far as to compare them to, gulp, VMI. If that doesn’t nauseate you something is wrong. Unlike the aforementioned school, Auburn wasn’t necessarily to blame for most of the turnovers the Cats committed.
