They knew they would be moving to a new location and there would be a delay in when they could provide installing car starters and should have told the people buying the gift cards at the time they were purchased.

It appears that Custom Sound needs a refresher course in Customer Service!

(despite two people trying to educate you, you still don't understand!)

This individual owned 3 Pit Bulls and raised them to be very loving and gentle dogs. However, this person's health turned very serious and required this personal to spend lengthly stays in the hospital. A member of the family would go and feed the dogs once a day, but in the meantime, the dogs had to be tied up outside which is NOT the idea way to treat animals. Someone called the ASPC and accused the dogs of being neglected. When the Officer came, the caregiver happened to be there and explained the situation. This Officer was very understanding and offered a solution that IF the owner would turn custody of the dogs over to him, he would guarantee all of them would be adopted due to their gentle and loving dispositions and the owner could concentrate more on their own health problems. This was done - not charges were ever filed - and all 3 dogs did find homes in families where they all had the 24 hour attention they deserved. The two men that serve the Utica area are Police Officers that have the authority to arrest anyone that intentionally harms an animal, but also are there to help and offer their assistance to benefit an animal as well as their owner.

Not only is it reflected in what she is presently doing to help others but also the way she raised her son to help others less fortunate than he was. We need more women like her in this world..

At the present time, there is only 1 Patrol Car for N. Utica which is NOT enough due to the expanding population. Since there was no description of what the robber wore or anything about the color of his hair and height, it will be very awkward to trying to locate someone with only the description he wore a blue sweater!

Why isn't there better lighting put up so people are more aware of the changes made as it is very difficult to drive near or on the Arterial without enough lights to show where you have to go. My prayers and heart go out to the Khiemdavnah for their tragic loss; especially at this time of the year.

Hopefully, when he stands in front of a Judge for sentencing, the Judge will give him the maximum length of time to serve on these charges and send him to jail to spend up some time caged up as the animal he is.

The accused killer of this boy was the daughter of the sister of the natural birth mother who lost all her children to CPS. It is my understanding that ALL Foster Care Parents go thru a rigid background check before they are allowed to become Foster Parents. This case apparently slipped thru the cracks and no home investigations (if done) never revealed any neglect or abuse.

Is it any wonder why the majority of welfare recipients refuse to work? Ask yourself if you would work full time for minimum wage ($8) making $16,640 a year or stay home, sleep in the mornings, and hold out your hand that the rest of us taxpapers pay you $35,000 a year for doing nothing!!!!!! Something is very wrong with our political system when a parasite earns more money than a self respecting person does who works for his "benefits".

If anyone is responsible for the lack of respect for others in today's society, it is the parents of the children being raised by today's parents that use "child abuse" and wanting to be their child's "friend" in void of using good old discipline. When parents learn it is the parents' responsibility to teach their children good manners and values, respect for those in authority and others, and accept responsibility for their own actions - that will be the day when they are ready for adulthood and becoming assets to Society - not a drain on it.

I hope they convict him on ALL three charges that will give him some time to learn the meaning of respect.

I feel sorry for the young mothers today listening to all the things they can NOT do with their babies and always in fear they might be doing something to harm their babies. The most important thing any parent can do for their babies is to give them plenty of love and cuddling and using old fashion common sense and always check on them when they are sleeping.

We all should be very thankful that the majority of us our law abiding citizens and willing to help Law Enforcement when we can.
