All We Need Is Love

When the young student was home ill twenty other class members learned the song to surprise him one day. I hope you have some tissues left over from yesterday to read part two of yesterday's story of teens Sharing The Love:

http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/03/the_mulino_and_molalla_communi.html

After that story reality TV seems so trite. However, here is the lineup for this season's Dancing With The Stars, followed by my odds of the chance of the winning:

BUZZ ALDRIN, astronaut, partners up with ASHLY COSTA (formerly DelGrosso),(80 years old and I once met him but 5,000-1 to win it.)

PAMELA ANDERSON, actress and model, joins professional dancer DAMIAN WHITEWOOD, who makes his “Dancing with the Stars” debut this season. (100-1 to win it)

ERIN ANDREWS, ESPN host, teams with MAKSIM CHMERKOVSKIY (After the horrible experience of having someone film her without her permission and post her pictures on the Internet she needs something good to happen, 10-1)

SHANNEN DOHERTY, actress, teams up with two-time “Dancing with the Stars” champ MARK BALLAS, who returns for his sixth season. (Hollywood Bad Girl becomes Dancing Woman 50-1)

KATE GOSSELIN, TLC star, teams with TONY DOVOLANI, who returns for his ninth season. (To many kids, to many bad stories 100-1)

EVAN LYSACEK, Olympic figure skating champion, teams with ANNA TREBUNSKAYA, who returns for her fifth season. (Skaters have won twice before and he could win the gold twice this year 1-1)

NIECY NASH, comedienne and host, teams up with LOUIS VAN AMSTEL, who returns for his sixth season. (Who? Never heard of her. Good Partner 15-1)

CHAD OCHOCINCO, NFL Star, teams up with two-time champion CHERYL BURKE, who returns for her ninth season. (Football's loose cannon but a lot of fun, graduated from Oregon State. Great teacher 5-1)

JAKE PAVELKA, “The Bachelor” star, joins CHELSIE HIGHTOWER, who returns for her third season. (I don't like men better looking or richer than I am 1000-1)

NICOLE SCHERZINGER, pop star, teams with Season 7 champ DEREK HOUGH, who returns for his sixth season. (Who again is she? She also has a great teacher 10-1)

AIDEN TURNER, soap star, teams with EDYTA SLIWINSKA, who is the only pro to compete in all 10 seasons of “Dancing with the Stars.” (Aiden is also Aiden on the soap All My Children. Has such an accent that I have a hard time understanding what he is saying but will I understand his dance moves? 25-1)

As you dance through life today I hope you find that all you need is love!

OH, my, time to get out the tissues again. What a wonderful finale to the articles "Share the Love." And what a whopping check. But I think the very best part is the involvement of not only the teens, but Ethan's elementary school, the teachers' willingness to be silly, the donations that came in from community businesses. It takes a village... it sounds like they have one.

Hi DR

I am glad people weren't watching me read the paper this morning they would have thought somebody died. My favorite part of the story was when the teacher was interrupted before giving his speech, thinking he was being upstaged, only to find out the kids chose him that year.

It definietely was a village!
