I understood that the helicopter couldn't be used because of the weather.

I think this is a great way to honor those who gave all.

I do wonder about the inconsistencies of the flag positions at the Social Security office and the USDA office. Monday AM, the Social Security office was at full staff, and the USDA at half staff. I have often noticed this; that one is lowered for a memorial reason, and the other is not.

I was wondering too what happened to the postings that were on the madelynn's story, but have now disappeared. ??? Usually, when the posts go away, it says "removed by staff". That isn't even there, and there is no way to post anything about that story, except on a different story. curious.

All these government people---president,congress, etc-- have a health care plan, right? Why do they get special coverage, even after they leave their positions? Shouldn't they have to have the same coverage that we will all have to have, after they make all these new rules?

Recently Huckabee in his noon report, suggested that any legislation passed in Washington should have a required oral reading in front of that assembly....of the ENTIRE bill. And anyone who wasn't there to hear it, could not vote on it. Maybe some of those bills wouldn't be so massive if our representatives actually had to listen to them.......

The year that the radio station had music to go with the fireworks was really great. It would be nice to have that again.

Also, Holiday Resort usually has a nice fireworks display.

I also thought that the wording of the ballot was deceiving. I just knew I wanted to vote 'no'. My spouse was confused about whether the yes meant no. It could and should have been written much clearer.
Many thanks to the EOB and others for bringing this whole issue to the forefront. I think the CAE thought it was a done deal initially. I am not a smoker, but thought the old ordinance was quite sufficient. Now more govt interference.
Again, sincere thanks to all who made people think about this!

Wasn't Commercial done not long ago? Does anyone remember how long ago it was? I agree, there are lots of streets that need fixing before Commercial does.

What about the air that is filled with smoke from burning pastures, charcoal grills, fireplaces (especially when people burn trash in the fireplace), traffic on the streets and highways that go near our homes? How can we possibly survive all this bad air? Will these be the next to be legislated against? (I don't know about the good smells from Dolly Madison, or from the barbecue/smoked meat restaurants---are those dangerous, too?
Vote no---our right to choose is being taken away. As many have already said, most places in this town are already smoke free.
I am a nonsmoker, and avoid places where there is smoke.
