Last day of Journalism camp

The “By the Numbers” breakout item on page 1 of the Northwest section got some attention too.

And at right, another classic Plonkavision shot featuring partial people.

“It’s perfect weather for cheerleading”, says Bellrose High School cheerleading manager Karen May-Healey of Alberta Canada, July 31, 2008, as her squad and a handful of local and regional teams descended at Gonzaga University for 3 days of instruction and fun.
