On Big Foot students to be required to take finance class

It's about time!! These are important lessons to learn, and so much healthier to learn this way than by trial and error.
One other topic I would add is insurance (health/life/auto). It's amazing what people don't know about their insurance policies, and it can get you into trouble.

check out snopes.com when you see something weird. They are a great source, and have all different kinds of "scams" on there, even the seemingly harmless ones like chain email letters that don't ask for money.

In the schools and the library and even Huntington place, they couldn't find someone with a differing opinion?

sweetness, "spurn" means to reject something; is that what you meant to say??

Kudos to Bell, Evans, and Williams. They are doing a great thing by being there for the kids who need their help, and going above and beyond by offering their help on the weekends. We need more people like them EVERYWHERE!!!

My heart weeps when I see stories like this. Animals feel cold and hunger just like humans do; leaving them at the shelter when times get a little tough just isn't the answer.
For those who want to vaccinate and medicate their pets at home, just do your research and talk to a vet before you start. My vet told me that even though those medicines are the same as what they get, they aren't guaranteed. If your pet gets the illness that you have medicated against, your vet is going to charge for the treatment. If your pet received the vaccination or medication at the vet and they still get the disease, your vet will most likely cover the cost of any treatment as a result. My vet operates this way, and I bet most do.

Thank you, Gazette, for printing this. I've been wanting to see their side of things for a while now, and this helps.
I would be interested to know more about how plowing works and how they go about doing it. Such as, why do we always see them driving around with the blades up? There is probably a good reason for it if we stopped complaining long enough and listened.
Why is there such a short list of people qualified to plow? Driving to work this morning, I noticed some major roads not yet cleared, and figured it was because it was still snowing. But why should that make a difference? With enough people rotating, plows should be able to continuously clear throughout a storm, keeping main roads like Wright clear.
Some people will always find something to whine about, because it makes them happy, but a little more information about a topic like this can clear up misunderstandings and quiet some of the complainers.

Some of us don't have children because we can't, not because we chose not to. Having a pet is like having a child to us, and to have someone laugh at that feeling is a slap in the face. We gladly pay the vet bills because our sweet dog is very loved and would be sorely missed if something happened to him. There are a lot of sacrifices I would make in order to pay those vet bills if it came down to that. Fortunately, my husband and I haven't had to make that choice. Dogs, cats, horses, and other animals are truly family members to most people. No one has said that dogs are humans--just that a dog or other pet can take the place of someone to love when there are no children. Don't judge others based on what you have experienced; try to listen to what someone else might be feeling when you think you need to laugh.

"It begs the question..." (Are we really so desperate that we need to beg instead of just ask the question?)
On the other hand, my favorite new phrase is "I'm SHOCKED", said with extreme sarcasm.
