I DOUBT THE Linden bus picking up the homeless child is costing anything, as the bus is already en route to pick up other students. As a Linden taxpayer, this does not bother me. In fact, I applaud Linden schools for caring and doing something to help. The alternative may be that the child doesn’t go to school at all. Now that’s a price society can’t afford.

WITH THE HUGE snowstorm last night, I witnessed something today that totally shocked me. A resident of the Elmwood subdivision went around the block on his riding lawnmower with snow blower attachment, and cleared the sidewalks. I didn’t realize there were any good people left in this town. Our walk was already cleared, but I can only imagine the elderly he helped.

EZ READ IS great. I live out of state, and I can now see the entire Tri-County Times and keep up with all of the news at home. Keep up the good work, Times.

WHY DOES EVERYONE blame the woes of Michigan on Granholm? NAFTA, KAFTA, Bush, Wall Street, Japanese cars and corporate greed have just a little bit to do with it.

TO EVERYBODY WHO complains about traffic, if somebody is going too slow for you, don’t get an attitude. Most of the time, it’s like you’re racing to see who can stop at the red light, first. It’s snowy, icy, and dangerous. Be careful, be considerate, and be patient. If you want to pass somebody, go ahead, but you might want to just stay where you’re at. It could save your life.

ALL RIGHT, FENTON city residents, they want to raise our water bill. What would happen if we were to invest in something like this? www.rainwatercollection.com I bet their tune would change when taking this into consideration. I find this intriguing and economically viable. I am definitely going to invest into this myself, come on everyone, climb aboard.

Saturday, February 27, 2010 1:35 PM ESTReader wants new location for library
Transforming the existing old Farmer Jack building, now owned by VG’s into a library for the Fenton community would be a gift for all. VG’s would benefit with the loss of paying taxes on the site. VG’s may get a tax incentive from the city and state, and would not have a competing business in the area.

I haven’t heard of as many accidents being caused by marijuana, as I have alcohol.” “No, because everyone would get it, and it should only be used for medical reasons. It’s bad enough kids are using it now.” “Yes, it would cut down the crime rate and boost the economy.” “Yes, with the way the economy is. If they made it legal they could tax it.” “No, I do not. I don’t think it needs to be legal and available to teens and schoolchildren. I think it’s a bad idea.” “Yes, I believe so. If people are allowed to drink alcohol they should be allowed to smoke marijuana.” February 24th, 2010 “I ate dolphin when I was down in Florida. It was good.” “My grandma used to cook tripe soup.” “In a science class, I ate octopus tentacles.” “Once in Scotland, I ate haggis (sheep’s heart, liver and lungs).” “I ate steamed squid in Alabama.

It was rubbery, and it didn’t taste very good.” February 20th, 2010 “We’ll probably use the money to travel, because we just retired.” “We’re just hoping to get a tax refund this year. In the past we’ve always had to pay.” “Probably pay off some bills.” “I’m sending my husband to Las Vegas for the NASCAR race, and I’m staying home.” “I think we’re going to be going to Florida. The kids want out of the cold weather, so we’re taking them to Disney World.” “Probably just pay bills.” Transforming the existing old Farmer Jack building, now owned by VG’s into a library for the Fenton community would be a gift for all.
