For all those cynics out there who believe the average 20-something American is more concerned with his or her iPod playlist than they are with the world around them, I submit this: Southern Oregon football coach Steve Helminiak was contacted last week by a representative of the Children’s Miracle Network, a non-profit organization that raises [...]
