Weekly Newsish Roundup LGA TVMatt Scarfo has owned Benchwarmers bar and grill for almost 20 years. As part of that job, he’s taken phone calls at 11pm, midnight, 1am, and 2 am. He’s had long conversations with three-beers-down customers till late at night. And he’s probably cleaned up a lot of puke. As the owner of benchwarmers, Matt is on the job 24/7. And he said if he gets the job as county commissioner, the job might almost be easier.

But why go into politics? Well, Matt said it’s really just the next step in his long-time dedication to this town.

Bottom line, Matt wants to play as part of the team.

Were you bullied as a kid? I was. I know it’s hard to believe but I wasn’t always the tall, handsome, hairy weirdo that I am now. In sixth grade I was actually a short, chubby hairy weirdo. Go figure. That being said, all my bullying was face to face. My bullies were real people. They had names and faces that I saw every day at recess. But according to Katy Perry, a local high school sophomore at LHS, much of the bullying in today’s schools is digital and she said it’Weekly Newsish Roundup LGA TVs almost worse.

But Katy is speaking out. As a part of an FBLA assignment, her and several of her friends are producing a short video PSA to show people the reality of cyberbullying and how people can help.
