Instead of spending money (the city doesn't seem to have) on an ice rink, why not spend it (if they do have it) to repair the bike path?  If you haven't been up there for a while, it's getting more and more narrow due to crumbling.  That's also my attitude for new bike paths some of the council and the city want to create.  Show me you can take care of what we have first, and then maybe I'll support your plans to add more.


In the past, the used to freeze the Chancy Park tennis courts.  Can't they do the same with the courts on the Riverfront?

Finally, and most importantly, where is this money coming from?

After reading about the students stealing the teacher's Oxycodone pills at Clinton High I had to ask...say what??

How come my 14 year-old can't take Midol with her to school for her "time of the month" or she risks getting busted for having drugs but a teacher can take a powerful narcotic to work and leave it accessible to students?

How in the world did the students even know this teacher had such a powerful drug in his or her possession? 

If this teacher needs to be on such a powerful pain killer I can only assume he or she is in such dire straits that he or she should probably be out on sick leave, not in the classroom.  Don'cha think?

C'mon, Herald, there's more to the story!

The service was good, the food was good and it was clean.  We'll go back.

I was surprised to see that they're closed on Sunday, but will have extended late afternoon-early evening hours a few days per week, starting - I forget!  Sometime soon.

For instance, this morning I read an AP article on page A12 that reported yesterday President Obama overturned a 22 year-old travel and immigration ban against people with HIV beginning early 2010.  At the same time he signed a bill to extend an HIV/AIDS program that provides medical care and support services that presently covers about a half million people.

Wouldn't you think this would be on the front page since we're in the middle of a national health care debate that's about how many dollars we should spend to provide basic health care for all? 

Hmmm...something to think about.
