MERRY GENTLEMEN
Vilas, the tiny southeastern Colorado town whose school district charters online learning centers enrolling more than 3,800 students, may be a singles paradise for guys.
Of the population of 110, never-married adult males aged 15 (15?) and older numbered 11. Unmarried adult females (that 15 number again) totaled 20 - nearly twice as many.
That's no blarney, despite the fact that the largest reported ancestry group was Irish: 29 percent - or make that 32 people. 24

MAOISTS JOIN FIGHT
The Maoist Internationalist Movement has organized four rallies to "Stop the Witch-Hunt against Ward Churchill," the embattled University of Colorado professor who is "facing firing . . . for a speech he made about 9/11." Speech, essay, whatever.
Rallies will be in Los Angeles; San Francisco; Cambridge, Mass.; and, well, Huntington, Ind. - where it will not be held at the United States Vice Presidential Museum at the Dan Quayle Center.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS
"We don't have rush hour, but I'd definitely say we have rush minutes."
Vicki Sears, of the Greeley Chamber of Commerce. 28
THANKS, MOM
Mom Karen Foxworth teamed up with son Domonique, the Denver Broncos cornerback, to dazzle the 250 Arapahoe Community College Foundation supporters who gathered for their first annual scholarship luncheon Wednesday at the Inverness Hotel and Conference Center in Arapahoe County.
Mom is a corporate consultant - and an inspiration to scholar-athlete son Domonique. Both talked about the importance of scholarships - and scholarship donors, of course.
