GOOD WEEK

. . . for WSTM-Channel 3 news anchor Jackie Robinson, who has been pulling what seems like quadruple duty until this week, when relief showed up in the form of morning news talker Megan Coleman, who had been out on maternity leave. Either Jackie’s been sleeping on a cot with Doppler on the weather deck or she’s been plugged into an IV of espresso these last few months. 

. . . for the New York State Fair, named one of the five best such events in the country by the Los Angeles Times. Criteria included cleanliness and public seating. There’s no truth to the rumor that the fair got extra points for razing The Post-Standard’s Chevy Court kiosk last year.

. . . for Carmelo Anthony, who got hitched to his longtime girlfriend LaLa Vasquez on July 10 in a ceremony in New York City. Who cares that Kim Kardashian and Spike Lee witnessed the nuptials? The real People magazine moment came when Anthony’s coach at Syracuse University, Jim Boeheim, showed up.

BAD WEEK

. . . for city swimmers, facing one less option with the closing of Lincoln Park pool on July 6. A broken pipe keeps draining water from the facility and with no water, there can be no swimming. A fairly close-by option includes the pool at Schiller Park.

. . . for Mel Gibson and Lindsay Lohan, who have nothing to do with Syracuse save for their displays of bad behavior that can serve as a warning to anyone: Don’t become a spoiled, overpaid movie star. Only bad things will happen to you, most likely of your own design.

. . . for tree huggers, distressed by the news that the village of Marcellus plans to knock down what many think is the largest black maple tree in New York to make way for a street improvement project. Ah, yes, isn’t it the American way to destroy whatever is in your path in the name of “progress?”
