I have to admit......commonsense makes common sense. After watching weeks of this I lean toward the ban. I have watched all the arguements and I actually feel that the arguement has been won by those for the ban. Until the vote.....persuade me ....I will be watching.

Just curious..... Perhaps it has been addressed in here and I have missed it. I have seen many good points expressed on both sides of this issue. Although I tend to lean toward one side, I am really undecided on this issue as of now and as it has been drawn up. I do think that anyone on either side of the issue can see some validity in the others arguements. I can see the points made by the property owners. Hopefully bar-owners can see some of the reasoning of the smoking ban supporters. Have any of those opposing the ban suggested where that line should be drawn instead of what is being offered? What would those against the ban like to see in place instead?

As an area person directly involved with the schools, and having been involved for many years. I feel very fortunate that the area athletes get the media attention that they do. The radio station and the paper both do a great job of covering our area kids, and always under the fine eye of a mother who knows that they had 6 rebounds and not five as reported by the gazette. In most cases the responsibility is with area coaches to provide the information to the staff at the gazette and to the media. When you don't see little Billy's name it is usually because they were not given the information by the coach. Thanks again Gazette for a very difficult job ...well done.

methusia.....a little too much emphasis is placed on what part of the city one lives in. I am sure there are people on both sides of this issue in all parts of the city. Quit painting a picture of the EVIL Northwest.........On this issue ...what in the world does where you put your house have to do with it?

OK....agreed. I also found the use of love opposite of stove ....awkward. However poetry has few rules. The author does use a rhyming scheme throughout but causes some pause with this combination (love and stove) perhaps it is his intent to give pause and quiet emphasis to the "love for the hills".....it seems to be effective. He is given license to do so within poetry rules.
In turn....Stove and love do fit definition of eye rhyme in poetry.
However stove and loathe have but one commonality ...that being long "o". Surely you do not want to insist that these two words fit better in verse than love and stove. If that were true then "stove and below" , stove and hero, stove and arrow...etc work also. If you demand "rhyme" stove and loath just don't work.
Finally.......the only side that usually can declare that "it is over .....is the side that has been defeated."

A myth of poetry is.......that it must rhyme.
Posted on December 2 at 11:25 a.m.
in poetry, an imperfect rhyme in which two words are spelled similarly but pronounced differently (such as move and love, bough and though, come and home, and laughter and daughter). Some of these (such as flood and brood) are referred to as historical rhymes because at one time they probably had the same pronunciation. This being acceptable explanation for stove and love.......
Thus, I again say ......the Teach is correct.

Eye rhyme: Words that seem to rhyme because they are spelled identically but pronounced differently.
Examples:
bear/fear
dough/cough
through and bough
In my way of thinking STOVE rhymes not with loathe.....but has the qualities to be eye rhyme with love........
perhaps this game continues....

By the way....there have been no studies on the long term effects of an atom bomb in Lyon County......however I am willing to bet that based on evidence elsewhere...it isn't healthy. No real need to see its effect here. I will buy in to the studies that have been done in other areas.
