A week and a half ago, I was awakened by the sound of sirens and the odor of smoke. Moments later, a fireman came through my door, put me on his back and carried me down the smoke-filled stairway on Alhambra Drive.

Pending legislation is aiming to move all student lending functions under the federal government, which would in turn eliminate approximately 20,000 jobs nationwide.

County Prosecutor Tom Broderick came before the council and made his case for the reinstatement of a deputy prosecutor position that had been cut from the budget plan.

My cat, friend and companion, is 16 years old. Her name is Oprah. She has had regular check-ups and has had breast cancer twice.

Due to sudden illness, Dan Pierce, who had generously donated a chain saw carving to be raffled off, was unable to complete the sculpture. His good friend and chain saw carving buddy, David Polk, stepped up to the plate and gave our winner, Terry M., a carved wooden bear.

We have educated citizens who would be willing to volunteer (including myself).The present council members are each making over $13,000 annually (for working two hours each month).

There have been many examples of agencies that work with children, support children, promote family values or collaborate with other agencies, hosting events where alcohol and tobacco use is allowed and accepted.
