News & Events - June 2006

Please eliminate any story that is slanted to produce readership by emotional response as its sole purpose ( selling print and making money, fame, etc by provocative emotional title and/or content ). I would like to see some real rational journalism.

If you would be so kind as to include a reference, preferably a link, I would like to read it. Thanks.

I now live in NC, but have heard about the terrible flooding. I lived off rt 7 between Sidney and Unadilla and experienced the flooding twice while there. I hear this flood is much worse. I would appreciate any details about Sidney or any information anyone has on any of the Delaware County area. Thanks

that the victims/areas of Hurricane Rita, have been pushed to the back burner and forgotten about? Being from Southwest Louisina, this has bothered me from the beginning.

Lake Charles, Cameron, Holly Beach, Beaumont, and so many others were hit extremely hard and the devisation is heartwrenching. But you don't hear anything on the news about the effect of Rita, only Katrina. I would think it being a major petrochemical refining center, that there would be more support and help. I just feel the victims from Rita, and even Wilma deserve more and shouldn't be treated like the redheaded stepchild and forgotten. Anyone else have feelings on it.

Would you refuse to purchase the product or be inclined not to buy the product because the commercial volume is so loud it is deafening at times?
I know there are TV's and products you can buy to stop it but should we have to shell out extra money to do this because an advertiser has some statistical data that says it is more effective?

This is my first and last time here. I looked at the records of those that are your leaders on this board and did the math to determine that they are totally wasting their lives. This is sad, it's nice outside, enjoy it while you can.

I think it would be interesting to see if the "rulers" of the various countries would "duke it out" one-on-one. It would save many many lives and they would think twice about sending our children overseas to fight a bloody battle, after they get their butt whipped a few times.

When the networks are getting
opinions on new shows they call and ask if you are interested. Once you tell them that you are over a certain age you are forgotten. Senior Citizens view much more TV than the young adults that the Markets are trying to reach.
