  1. No alcohol sale vote here, so unless one lives in Hiram, there is only the presidential primary on the ballot.
  2. With so few receiving the paper now, delivery paper cover ever-wider areas. Like garbage collectors and mail carriers, someone has to be at the end of the route.
  3. Well, that's just the point,isn't it? The parties likely will disagree as to what constitutes the facts. The court ultimately decides that.
  4. It matched me with the candidate for whom I had voted on the 17th.
  5. I think that nearly every school has such a bin.
  6. It is a completely loaded question, designed to elcit a certain response. Have you stopped beating your wife yet?
  7. I don't think that it shows how much a parent cares. I think that it shows how unable they are to surrender control.
  8. Let's face it: Hannah and the many, many others like her didn't get this way overnight. They got there by being spoiled, coddled, indulged and immersed by a materialistic, consumeristic culture. Said culture encourages disrespect for parents, teachers, law enforcement and others in authority through its movies, television and internet for kids. Hip, sarcastic, flippant responses are seen as cool from a very young age. People can ridicule Leave It to Beaver, The Brady Bunch and The Cosby Show, but these family units were intact and modeled solid values, unlike today's mostly dysfunctional media
  9. Anyone who is interested may PM me and I can provide donation information.
  10. What's to see? The 11PM--7AM night shift workers were already moved out of there.
  11. Paulding Historical Society has for some time had a fund drive going, to create a proper memorial at New Hope Cemetery. A ceremony was held there a year or so ago to unveil a temporary marker, and Sandy Purl attended. The marker is close to the road, directly across from the church.
  12. I guess that the revisions to the article in the link include the reference to family at the end. It does not say that he is survived, but only that he has children and a wife. This is yet another example of a trend by the news media, in which it shows that it is more interested in immediacy than it is in accuracy.
  13. Just curious, what would the younger generation call it? Except for the ten-year period from 1965-1975 when the same location was called Cape Kennedy, space missions all launched from Cape Canaveral. Many of the older generation kept calling it Cape Canaveral, even when it was Cape Kennedy.
  14. 1) It is an administrative and payroll nightmare. 2) Utilities must still function, reducing savings. 3) Fuel savings for county vehicles not in operation. etc. The state and county have been having furlough days for the past two years. Some people seem quite surprised. Perhaps they ought to follow local news more closely, since it impacts them.
  15. Not criminally, but civilly. That is why several people here have recommended small claims court, which is the only realistic option. Even so, the chances of actually collecting are small.
  16. I think the adulation is because it is a rare thing to have a young star player live his life the way that he does. We have become so accustomed to hearing reports of excess among modern athletes, often with a sense of entitlement, so an individual like this seems unusual. He is not the first "clean cut" player to be featured in this way. Tommy John, Orel Hersheiser and even Roger Staubach were, to some degree, also media curiosities because of their clean living. Any comtempt toward Tebow is basically not directed at him personally, but a reaction to this type of coverage.
  17. All of the high schools have voter registration days.
  18. In recent years, the mispronunciation of et cetera (etc.) as eck cetera has become more common. I see many people on the internet write it as ect.
  19. A preliminary survey was made about six weeks ago via phone, e-mail and hard copy, asking stakeholders to prioritize various features of the calendar (start and end dates, different breaks, etc.) The results from this survey are being used to create the options on which the community is then asked to provide feedback. February is a good bet for the finalizing of the process.
  20. There is a St. Vincent de Paul thrift shop in downtown Dallas, across from St. Vincent de Paul church. The St. Vincent de Paul Society is an international Catholic organization that provides goods and services to the underprivileged. There is also a very large Goodwill shop in Hiram, on 278. These are both excellent locations in which to make donations.
  21. I believe that the last poster was referring to left turn signals at the existing traffic light.
  22. Ask their opinion about what? She received an order of flowers, as the driver had stated in the phone. What else does one expoect them to say about a delivery already made and a driver already gone?
  23. I have had this feature for 15 years. Love it.
  24. And, naturally, we know that this happened simply because New York's second largest tabloid newspaper reported it. There is absolutely no chance that the story has been exaggerated, misreported, missconstrued or the teacher been misquoted. After all, a nanny picking up a child says it is so, even though she was not present in the classroom at the time. And my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. Oh, brother...
