What a wonderful teacher she was to my husband and I and what a great teacher she is to our son, who…Read More is in Kindergarten. As we read this article together, my husband said "But.. but... the next teacher won't do it right" and I agree that person will have a very hard time filling those "stockings" :-)

alan, surely you are not in the dark on this? this is the way the politics work, appropriate money…Read More for a study, then another, and maybe a few more, at a few milllion $$ per (for some cozy politically connected consulting firm), then spend some travel money shuttling to and fro about the lower 48 states, wandering around looking for a good site, (hence, ignore all those expensive studies), then appropriate a few more million to purchase a mountain in some far away remote place, well isolated from current human intrusions. then spend a few billion coring a hole so deep it seems like another "money hole". tack on the contractors vast overrun charges and then when it's 99 percent done, CANCEL the thing! this has nothing to do with safety, keeping old used up nuke fuel idle until they can re-package it for some other purpose, it has to do with the ego of a few ignorant politicians with no moral fiber to do whats right for the ENTIRE country.

It is nice to see that our estimable junior Senator has a healthy grasp on this issue. Perhaps he…Read More should talk to Senate Majority Leader Reid and find out why the nuclear waste repository that has already been built in Nevada was shut down by Senator Reid. Since we have already spent the money to build the facility, why do we need a bill to create a facility?

Town Hall has it at Town Hall, but I'd go with the agenda posted from the High School. (Town hall…Read More also still had the utilities commission meeting as a go for this week, so it may not have the most updated information). I'll let you know if it's not at the high school, but I'd operate on the assumption that it will be at the high school Library-Media Center.

Chicago is the murder capital of the United States.
Mayor Rahm Emanual and the city has the…Read More TOUGHEST gun laws anywhere. There are no gun stores allowed to sell any guns in Chicago. Gun bans are imposed in the city perimeter.
In 2012 there were 600 homicides in Chicago, all by handgun, none by assault rifles.
These laws DO NOT STOP criminals, gang members and drug dealers from obtaining guns.
These laws only make it more expensive and bureaucratic for legal citizens.

Duuuuuh.
Whats next here? A statement that more money doesn't = better schools?

only two 'collars"? maybe this means we can layoff a few excess patrol officers and trim the…Read More administration back a few along with them

nice picture of the bank clerk, too bad the camera is so high and far from the counter, she has some…Read More nice features. the criminal is clearly prepared with facial coverings, 'the hat', and usual thuggie style coat for use in hot climates (idiot wear). any outside cameras showing the vehicle, accomplice or other info that might aid in their apprehension? i know, we deaf blind and dumb folks just have to sit by and watch the coppers take all the credit.

I have been made aware that our fire service does need a training area. what better place is there…Read More in Waterford?

all too typical, excellent construction done by craftspeople who knew what they were doing, with the…Read More most simple and basic materials and tools available at the time. and it lasted longer than the decrepit, flat roofed, falling apart, soiled, abused, & apparently useless old Wtfd high school now being gleefully relegated to the 'Green Stream' by the soothsayers of the childrens future.
gosh, bob, what about that place, can't we get some hubub going about all that too?? (just kidding)
Some folks have some really fond memories of that old place, even if they never rated on the high end of the SAT score listings! ;-))
maybe the vast 'barny' openness would be of interest to the throngs of budding media specialists now being coddled within the new WHS. why, the very concept of stepping where the cows lived, breathed, slept, defecated and died might inspire them to drop their taxpayer supplied iPads long enough to look up at each other.

2.6 million for gun permits? What a joke. What's the big rush to load up on a gun. Let the…Read More paranoids wait in line.

This story of a scheme to allegedly exchange two bricks of cash totaling $27,000 in illegal campaign…Read More donor cash for a move to kill legislation at the state Capitol in Hartford was caught on surveillance hidden video in which the money was left for Democrat Speaker of the House Chris Donovan in a small refrigerator.
This scandal is a reflection of the status quo of politics and the behavior of favors, power and brokering politicians and how the state government works.

lol, if we the people, weren't so annoyed by invasion of personal privacy, disclosure statements…Read More regarding license to film, record or monitor, or these pesky concealed recording devices, we would have a trove of 'off hand' back room, closed session, on the golf course, over dinner, in the wink of an eye, and in-car agreements that are part of every deal made in our patently corrupt government.

Donna, I salute you and commend you for sending our troops a "taste of home". You are part…Read More of the fabric that makes our country great. Outstanding!
Kathie Cassidy May 19, 2013 at 04:27 pm
Donna, not only are you a great neighbor - your business shows what being a great local neighborhood…Read More merchant does for the country. Thank you for supporting our troops!
Jennifer May 19, 2013 at 12:40 pm
Thank you for supporting our troops with this delicious taste of home! My husband is deployed in…Read More Afghanistan with his National Guard unit and I can honestly say...any act of kindness like this one is always more appreciated than people ever realize! Thank you for supporting our troops!

sadly, it's all too often, this effort, is 'after the fact'. were all moms (and dads too!) as…Read More driven to crusade for responsible behavior, to quell the casual indifference's, or even soften the rebellious vibrancy of their children, these tragedies might stop being 'a never ending story'. we have a culture of 'do it to the max', make money to the max, reach for the stars, be all you can be, and in that very process we have these lives splattered into ruins..... the promotion of greatness and extreme life may be far more damaging as a life goal, than its purveyors claim.
