BILLY CURRINGTON LOOKS FORWARD TO PLAYING NEW SINGLE ON TOUR WITH KENNY CHESNEY. Georgia-native Billy Currington will live a dream come true this spring when he opens for Kenny Chesney along with Uncle Kracker during his Goin’ Coastal tour. Billy’s current single, “Let Me Down Easy,” has spent a couple of weeks in the top 20 and he says is one he fell in love with from the beginning. “This is one that it was instant. I just knew it. I felt the melody really strong and love the lyrics and it’s my favorite song to sing now, out…live in the show.” Billy will have a chance to sing it on stage when Goin’ Coastal kicks off March 17th in West Palm Beach, Florida.

MAKE YOU LAUGH
Police in Kansas City report that two teenagers and a juvenile were preying on stranded motorists. They'd see people trying to dig their cars out of the snow, stop as if they were going to offer help, then pull out a semiautomatic handgun and rob them. But they were apprehended when police drove to the scene of one of the robberies and along the way, they spotted a Chevy Suburban matching the description of the robbers' vehicle. It was stuck in the snow.
* This is where we get the phrase "Karma Comedian."

Our Hometown Hero(’s) Today is/are Dennis Prickett
Free Wheelchair Mission advo¬cate Dennis Prickett is still aiming toward the same goal he’s had since 2007, but this year, he’s going about it in a different way. After learning of the Free Wheel¬chair Mission, which provides in¬expensive wheelchairs to the im¬mobile of developing countries, Prickett and others decided Las Cruces’proximity to Mexico put the community in an ideal position to not only raise funds for wheelchairs, but distribute them as well. Many rallied behind those ef¬forts, and 500 wheelchairs have been distributed to Mexico since.
Fundraising continues with the second annual Dancing with Heart to Lift Lives Valentine’s Dinner Dance from 5 to 9:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 13, at the Ramada Palms de Las Cruces, 201 E. University Ave.
Prickett said several volunteers will be needed for the event, but volunteers are always welcome year-round.
“I’m always looking for people who want to join us in whatever capacity they want, even it’s help¬ing to set up speaking opportuni¬ties with groups who are interested in the Free Wheelchair Mission.
Dennis Prickett is/are our Hometown Hero Today and we salute you.
This Is Nuts
In a surprise decision, a Chicago appeals court ruled 2-1 Monday that Rahm Emanuel still storing his stuff in a crawlspace in his sublet Chicago house did not satisfy the residency requirement for mayoral candidates and ordered him off the ballot. They said the law is perfectly clear that candidates must actually live IN Chicago during the year before the election. Emanuel said he'll appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court and he has "no doubt" he'll prevail.
* If they won't back him, he'll claim that he left his heart in San Francisco and run for mayor there
HEALTH MOMENT
The drug most commonly prescribed for treating breast cancer recurrence, Tamoxifen, has also shown to reduce the risk of death from lung cancer, according to a study published in the journal Cancer.
Researchers based the study on data from 6,655 women previously diagnosed with breast cancer from 1980 to 2003 from Switzerland's Geneva Cancer Registry. Almost half the women were given anti-estrogen drugs like Tamoxifen.
The results showed that within the group of women taking the anti-estrogen drug, there were 87 percent fewer deaths compared to the general population.
Results support the hypothesis that there is a hormonal influence on lung cancer.
If prospective studies confirm results and find that anti-estrogen agents improve lung cancer outcomes, this could have substantial implications for clinical practice.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
Clay Butler of Soquel, California, is developing a line of sodas infused with THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. Flavors will include orange, grape, lemon-lime, "Canna Cola," and a Dr. Pepper-like drink called "Doc Weed." He plans to introduce them in Colorado next month, then in California. Butler says that personally, he's never smoked or done drugs, and he's had only two beers in his life, but he believes that "adults have an inalienable right to think, eat, smoke, drink, ingest, decorate, dress any way they choose to do so." His cannabis sodas will come in 12-ounce bottles and sell for $12 to $15 each.
