Especially the ones driving their full size V8 gas guzzlers. It is up to you the individual to do something about the price of gas, and complaining doesn't do any good except maybe make you feel better.

The reason for the dress code was to make ALL students appear equal. Rewarding the students who get A's and B's would be discrimating against the lower grade earners. It would be really discrimating against kids with learning disabilities.

What will be sadder is if the DHS charges her with child neclect. They will say a mother should know where her child is all the time and shouldn't have been out of the mothers sight while she backed the car out of the garage.

The ballot wording is street "improvements." That means the money could go for almost anykind of street work, not just repairs. I predict if the 20 year LOST is approved, that more than 50% of the street improvement money will go to "improve" the streets in downtown CR. After all, we have to make downtown look nice for all the convention business we are supposed to get.

We adults sure know how to set the example for the young. When the teens turn 18, they can become as stupid as us adults.

That's right, gas will be so high people won't be driving. People won't be going to the concerts because there won't be any city buses running at night.

To think that we adults are supposed to set the example for the younger people. Our motto must be "Do as we say, not as we do."

They may have been just plain stupid and tried to beat the train instead of stopping. But there is no way they couldn't have seen the train coming. Maybe they were having an argument and they were so engaged they had no idea what was going on around them.

Was it because I mentioned a rival or guessed at how the couple died. I guess the "Gazette" doesn't want people to express real life opinions.

It looks like the truck was hauling the white car and it broke loose when the truck was hit. The white car would have more rear damage if it had been hit. Looks like it is not even damaged from the picture.

I read the city will give the police the first $750,000 generated each year and the city gets to use the rest for anything they want.
