The Robbinsville Scoop

My heart hurts...    Very rarely will you find me at a loss for words.   I am.

Today we lost a great woman Karen George   (George Tallabas's Tribute - The loss of an Angel)

Bless you Micheal for all the love and support you gave Karen.   

I am proud to say I knew you and proud to call you friend.

At the parade's conclusion, the township will host a cookout sponsored by H&H Gas and Maggi Moos ice cream parlor.  Mayor Dave Fried and other area officials will honor the girls from a reviewing stand.

I would like to encourage all to the residents to come out and show support for all these girls did to represent our town

Google Alerts. are  A MUST

I can’t remember when someone told me about them.   If I had to say I would say it was my favorite gal in West Virginia, Sarah Cooper that first mentioned them easily over a year ago.

I recently (finally) decided to put them into action.   

So Google alerts is a free (love free) service that Google has to offer.   Here’s the concept as I understand it.    You set up alerts bases on your specific search criteria and whenever that criteria is written about you’ll be sent an email with alert and link to the article/post.  

I’ve put the obvious alert for my name and than I was trying to think outside the box.  I put in other information that could be valuable to me in business.   My local towns, communities and  mayors anything that might be "news worthy" to me in business.

How am I capitalizing on that you asked?   Well I am getting the information as soon as it hits…  

And in turn, if its something of value I am writing about it on my blogs. myself   We are supposed to be informed, what better way to stay on top of things.

I am sorry I didn’t implement this ages ago when Sarah Cooper told me about it.  And I am sure she’ll pop by and hello when she get’s her “alert” on this post.   

HI SARAH!!!!

Here's an example I received this email last night

Robbinsville New Jersey Little League Softball World Series

Today's game World Championship Little League Softball game featured Robbinsville, New Jersey (East) vs. S. Carolina (South).   

After a slow start and falling into a 2 nothing hole in the top of the first inning,  the Robbinsville girls struck for 2 runs of their own in the bottom half of the inning to tie up the score.

Becca Freeman has pitched a solid 3 innings so for but after some questionable officiating has caused the girls to fall behind by 2 in the middle of the third

However, heads up base running by LeAnne Gearhart as pushed a run across and Robbinsville trailed by 1 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 3^rd.

With runners on second and third with 2 outs, clutch pitching, and excellent defense got the girls out of a jam in the top of the 4th to remain within 1.

In the bottom of the 5th a leadoff single by catcher LeAnne Gearhart and an infield single by Christine Levering, led to an RBI single by Becca Freeman that has knotted the game at 4.

Moments later, a wild pitch by the South plated Christine Levering with the go ahead run putting Robbinsville 3 outs away from the championship.

Without hitting a ball out of the infield the South pushed across 5 runs to take a 9-5 lead.  In the bottom half, a lead off walk by Jessica Samel and a clean single Claire Speranza had Robbinsville threaten to get back in the game.

A Stellar performance by the South's top pitcher Carley Hoover shut down the rally ending the girls wild ride to the championship leaving Robbinsville on the short end of a 9-5 score.

The girls played their hearts out leaving the residents of Robbinsville beaming with pride at all their achievements.

Congratulations to all the girls, Paige Motusesky, Julia Boroski, LeAnne Gearhart, Claire Speranza, Jessica Samel, Christine Levering, Ali Valentin, Lauren Fischer, Taylor Ponti, Becca Freeman and Erin Wojton.....
