When will people embrace helmets as the only way to seek high adventure. Hopefully his recovery will be swift and complete.

OSHA gives a nod, nod, wink, wink, and all the fat cats are happy. There seems to be an endless supply of loggers who so desparately want to feed their families that widows and orphans abound in this, and every other impoverished rural region of the USA. Where&#039;s the highway named for deceased loggers (or miners, or farmers. or garbage collectors, or roofers...). We couldn&#039;t survive without the labors of any of these unsung heroes. Their jobs can be made safer. Safety would raise the price of the raw material. The bottom line is, is it worth the price?

I wish it had been written to include tow truck and other assistance vehicles, as well as tire changes. One might think this action, changing lanes, would be an automic response to pedestrian work on a road shoulder, but more often than not, fools continue at 60 right along side of a worker. Common sense failed, people died, so laws were enacted.

I am one of those subscribers. TWC customers already pay far more than satellite customers for the same - no, actually less - viewing and audio choice. If TWC loses the local channels, and I see some other favorites may go too, they will lose a huge portion of their viewership. That&#039;s OK.. Some of us just needed a small push to switch to the less costly satellite. Looks like the time is near to start saving a few dollars.

There are experienced, proven canine search crews for hire. A large department might have their own canine crew. It&#039;s not realistic to expect the same from a human.

Either you&#039;re FOS - I hope that&#039;s it or I was left out by my Union too (so far as being notified about the visit) Don&#039;t imagine the press would have omitted that morsel...

I currently volunteer to get the vote out. I attend meetings. I make those annoying phone calls to talk to strangers. I was just asked to go door to door in Utica this weekend. This wasn&#039;t in the news. Who does get invited? I don&#039;t understand what this is about? I&#039;m feeling a bit alienated here.

Time and again, I read about wonderful gatherings, festivals of sorts,only when they are over. I have posted about this before, an article appeared about the upcoming Riggie Fest. I asked that when a date &amp; location is selected, that it be announced. Next I heard was how wonderfully everything went. If an article like this appeared a week ago, I can guarantee there would have been a lot more that 300 people in attendance.

Maybe now he will be! Daniel Conklin, 22 This one has 2 priors. Was supposed to get out 2012 These two met in jail. I wonder what brought them here? Look them up here for full details: <a href="http://nysdocslookup.docs.state.ny.us/" target="_blank">http://nysdocslookup.docs.state.ny.us/</a> Just type in the name - they&#039;re real bad guys.

It says his circle of friends don&#039;t trust him.

Fact is, we&#039;d all have our power turned off, our wages garnished, pay the lawyer &amp; court fees for that arrangement, and our credit scores would be lowered. This isn&#039;t Mom or Dad you&#039;re dealing with.

How about you? I have had that feeling about many previous Utica &amp; vicinity events that remain unpublicised until after the fact.

The past 2 years, I learned these details from the TV news report covering this after it happened. It would be nice too, if you would include details about the cost.

Large areas in the Southern Tier of NY have been deemed unsuitable for Wind development as this unstable foundation can&#039;t transfer and distribute the weight of the turbine onto the ground reliably. A large area of Herkimer County in Fairfield, which was a destination for spelunkers until the loss of a college geology student from Wisconsin almost 40 yrs. ago, has been approved for Wind Farms. The property is well known for the miles of caves below it. These behemoths are not easily recalled. Their collapse can be deadly. The cause of this failure must be determined before further installations are approved and put online.

They CAN get away with everything. There are NO consequences. Not within the home, not at school. A punishment has to be sufficiently unpleasant that the child won&#039;t repeat the offense. Unfortunately our society has rendered this generation fearless when it comes to conforming to rules that have been commonly accepted for centuries. Since when is vandalism fun? We have been stripped of the tools of coercion. It&#039;s a shame that the first time some kids learn that they don&#039;t run the show is when they are confronted by a police officer. I feel sorry for these kids. They DO know better, they just want to see what will happen.

If it weren&#039;t for refugees, Utica would be a ghost town. Saratoga is the fastest growing community in the state. I suppose the plan is to keep things that way. ... and we&#039;re a third of the way through bringing in thirty thousand more refugees. This is a contrived plan to keep local wages as low as possible. Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:39:26 +0000 http://www.wktv.com/news/local/79024737.html#IDComment46763814
