If you don't like how things turn out to be, do something about it. -Jay Vin Foong

I've always written about the larger social events of the moment. It just seemed like I had to confront this one.

That's true, unfortunately, and until we get a change in the qualification system, that could happen in several events. I think there needs to be more on time and merit than on the top two in each region.

We've seen amazing things happen with those involved with Habitat Blitz events. Not only does it change the lives of those who once struggled to find a safe, clean place to live, but it also changes the lives of the builders and manufactures who participate. It certainly has for Whirlpool Corporation. Habitat has become a part of our company's DNA, and so many of our employees have been personally inspired and empowered through working with Habitat.

Let me make something perfectly clear. Everybody at the school is saddened by these events.
