Greens were in the news yesterday, but for some, the news brought on the blues.

Green Party candidate Rich Whitney lost (to the Bost man) for the job of State Representative (with 6%, not too bad) while at Hickory Ridge Golf Course, the golf course needs new greens, but doesn't have enough green..

While in the green fields of the Superblock, Doug Lee Park may get a new name. An advisory committee is going to look into it. Who was Doug Lee? Can't find anything about him on the internet. Will ask someone on the citizens advisory committee. Whoever he was, the park should be named for THE BEST ATHLETE CARBONDALE PRODUCED in the last century. Who was it? I Maybe it was Doug Lee! Or a girl named Green?

More colorful dispatches to follow.
