What time was this posted??? Cause at 11pm Cedar Rapids was already way over 6 inches in my opinion. My apartment complex parking lot is small, surrounded by buildings, minus the entrance, which helps block some of the wind so it doesn't cause huge drifting. So the snow depth was close to even across the lot when plows came through.... there was at least 10 or 11 inches then. and by the looks of it at least a couple more have fallen since.
Headline says "Several Accidents" but the article sounds like only one or two accidents from the little it says. Maybe two cars so two separate one car accidents or one accident involving two cars. Headline is misleading; I thought maybe there was a pile up or something since accidents on 380 are a common thing.
I agree, because now knowing more of the facts, my opinion of the situation have now changed. The way it was reported seems biased, as if trying to stimulate a certain response.
Nice, KCRG fails to report the facts and I get thumbs down for making a reasonable comment based on the facts I was offered at the time. I do not live in Rochester Township, nor do I know anyone who does. I only knew the facts reported in the news. After reading the other facts offered, I can see why a compromise would not be a reasonable idea. So thank you all for giving me no chance to learn the other facts before giving me thumbs down. Perhaps you should give KCRG the thumbs down for not being dependable in reporting all the facts!
I can see wanting to take precautions on donated furniture, but this being the first issue in 30 years and banning it altogether, is ridiculous. It will cost more in the long run constantly having to by new furniture to replace old worn out stuff. There has to be a better way...
So compromise! Let the wildflowers grow on the edges and perhaps other places in and around the cemetery that do not hinder walking to, visiting of any graves or the viewing of any gravestones.
Oh wait, that would make too much sense to find a middle ground....
I'm not a very religious person... but it says in the Bible “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;”~ Luke 6:37. Plus many other versus that have the same meaning.
And then we have very religious people, from Topeka, KS. using the same Bible to judge others..... I guess they will be really getting judged when they move on from this world.
It would be so much easier if people could just agree to have differences and respect each other enough to share all the rights but not throw their own differences into the faces of others.... Opps, sorry I started daydreaming again about a perfect world....
I agree but of course KCRG had to give him what he wanted, just so someone else will try it too.
Unless these girls are mentally challenged in some way, they should have known their rights and been taught that this was not appropriate especially being in high school. By knowing this they should have refused and then when they got punished for refusing, they would have proof of the intention of a school official trying strip search them. So much easier to get people in trouble when there is proof.
I guess that would make too much sense though.
If my kids are ever asked to do something they are uncomfortable with and/or know is inappropriate, they have my full backing to refuse but are to ask to call me immediately and if that is denied then they are to go straight to the office, with or without permission, and ask to call me, if they are still denied calling me, they are to sit down without making a fuss or scene and refuse to move until I have been contacted... eventually the school or police will call me... I dare a school official to something inappropriate... there will me more than a law suit happening!
It's been over two years.... various people, government organizations and all the rest of the people involved need to learn to communicate better and stop changing their minds all the time. We as a community would like to move forward and get on with our lives, but when people fail to communicate or when they change their minds or the rules just when we are about to take a step forward, it hurts the community.
I still look around and see all the damage from the flood that isn't getting cleaned up, I'm tired of seeing and hearing about the flood. The community needs to move on so it can heal, we've suffered to long.
Please to end our suffering and allowing us to heal, will people stop changing their minds and/or the rules and just get things cleaned up and rebuilt once and for all!
