On Requiring posted addresses creating controversy in rural town

People complaining about a one-time charge of $30 to $40! It's about half a tank of gas. Perhaps they can offer financing for such a large purchase. Maybe the opposing homeowners in the story could get a HELOC to pay for it. Of course, anonomouse seems to have a business preposition.

As an alternative to cable, you could always go with satellite. AT&T is partnered with Dish Network as another method of providing a tv signal.

I can tell that you're not from a small school district.

I didn't say a pickup game. I said a team... just like what the ladies are trying to do.

You're right. I have no clue. I've never played on a football team with only 13 players (so you're on the field the entire game), a baseball team with only 9 players (where if two fall ill, you forfeit), or a basketball team with only 6 players (where you're up and down the court the entire game). It's ironman style play. You've got to be in shape. You also have to "think outside the box".

My entire point to begin with was that since the district is funding a female team, it should also be providing funding for a male team. ("costs will be shared among the four school districts")

whybesad, Saying you need more than six players for a hockey team is like saying you need more than 11 players for a football team. While it would be nice to not have to play both directions and have subs, it is not necessary. I also still find it interesting that even if you need 16 players, that those 16 players account for less than 1% (.9%) of the high school aged females. At what point do you say that there's not enough interest?

whybesad... The entire city of Janesville (population approx 60,000) can't field SIX girls for a high school aged hockey team? According to muninetguide.com, Parker has 1761 students and Craig has 1794 students. If I was to take gender percentages from city-data.com, 51% of the population is female. If you have 3555 high school students, and 51% are female, that would give you a pool of perspective female hockey players equal to approximately 1777. I find it hard to believe that there is not enough interest in 1777 females to field a six person hockey team.

As for Title IX, if the funding is going to come from players and their families and by the booster clubs, then that is a different question. Unfortunately, the article says that the four school districts are going to pay for them, so as far as I'm concerned, Title IX applies. I'd just like to see things remain equal. If the school districts sponsor female hockey, they should also sponsor male hockey.

Anyways, good luck to the ladies on the ice.

whybesad - "Girls should get the same opportunity as boys."???? When's the last time you watched the Clinton male hockey team? They don't have one, so how is this equal opportunity? I guess if you want equal opportunity under Title IX, you should double the cost so the guys can have a team as well.

On Damp winter leads to watery gas

Weezer: Based on reading your previous posts, I have discovered that you had farm chores to do while you were an athlete in high school. It wouldn't be far fetched to think that you live(d) on a farm and that you might have a 500 gallon (or larger) above ground tank of farm grade diesel. If that 500 (or larger) gallon gas can has a bad seal at the fill point, there is a good chance that you could get water in the tank when it rains or when snow melts on the tank. How is this any different than the 10,000-15,000 gallon tanks that the gas stations have buried in the ground? The fill points for those tanks are located right at ground level. If there is standing water or melting snow around the fill points, the water can inadvertently get into the tanks during servicing or can seep into the tanks if the fill point has a bad seal. If you still think that these two tanks are not the same, please educate me on how they differ. I don't want to be told I'm wrong without being told why.

I agree that "WATER SHOULDN'T BE GETTING INTO FUEL TANKS", but there are several ways that water finds its way into the tanks. You are correct, you should be able to trust the people that you get gas from. I do not believe that it's the intent of the gas station owner or the attendant to "water down" your gas. I'm sure that the particular stations that were mentioned in the article probably need maintenance at the filler point. That's all I'
m getting at.
