Fundraising Events for Kelly Tracy Family

Anyone that’s read this blog over the past week knows the tragedy that befell Kelly Tracy and her family last Saturday. Kelly, a 16 year old sophomore in the Highland High School Marching Band, was killed by a drunk driver on the way to join her band mates for an appearance in the Gilbert Days Parade.

If you don’t have a kid in a band, you may not realize just how much of a family our little “band geeks” become. They are all very close, and even the students at competing high schools have been impacted by the death of Kelly.

All of the Gilbert, AZ High School band programs, and even the Cactus Shadows High School Band in Cave Creek are holding car washes this weekend to raise money for the Kelly Tracy Memorial Fund to help the Tracy’s with funeral expenses.

On Saturday, November 22:

Highland High School is holding a car wash from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in front of the school, 4301 E. Guadalupe Road, Gilbert.

Mesquite High School’s car wash will be from 8 a.m. to noon at the Sonic restaurant on the northeast corner of Val Vista and Williams Field roads in Gilbert.

Gilbert High School is holding a car wash from 9 a.m. to noon at the 24 Hour Fitness at Val Vista and Elliot roads in Gilbert.

Desert Ridge High School’s car wash will be from 9 a.m. to noon at Valero gas station on the southwest corner of Guadalupe and Ellsworth roads in Mesa.

Cactus Shadows High School will hold a car wash on both Saturday Nov 22 and Sunday Nov 23 from 10:00am - 2:00pm at the Taco Bell at Cave Creek and Tatum.

On Tuesday, November 25:

Serrano’s Mexican Restaurant at 959 N. Val Vista Drive in Gilbert will donate a percentage of their sales made from 4:00 – 9:00pm to the Memorial Fund. I highly recommend the chicken enchiladas!

Reflections: In Memory of Kelly Tracy

International Cursing 101

Hey, (BLEEP)head, we gotta hand it to you: great job on the profanity. Your fluency and deftness in English-language vulgarisms is without peer. You’re a (BLEEP) genius, the (BLEEP) Shakespeare or (BLEEP) Twain of your chosen idiom. You don’t just cross the line – you (BLEEP) in its (BLEEP) and then (BLEEP) all over it.

But there are billions of people out there who would just shrug blankly if you told them “Go take a flying (BLEEP), (BLEEP)-for-brains.” In today’s interconnected world, can you really afford to leave so much of the planet unscathed by your relentless pottymouth?

(BLEEP) that (BLEEP)! Professor Crass (presumably no relation to the English anarcho-punk band, although they also liked a good f-word) says “Global profanity class is in (BLEEP) session, (BLEEP)face.” And the syllabus is the International Cursing 101 CD, with profanities, vulgarities, curses, and imprecations in no less than 12 languages. Don’t forget the obscene hand gestures printed in the booklet.

But what’s up with the inclusion of no less than three languages from the Indian subcontinent (Hindi, Punjabi, and Kannada)? How many trips to India have YOU taken? And isn’t English the common second language there anyway? If it bespeaks some sort of Comedy Central racism involving the proprietors of 7-11s, we say “(BLEEP) you, Professor Crass!” But he’d probably appreciate the sentiment.
