Yeah, it's tough having to cross railroad tracks on a bike trail provided by the taxpayers for you…Read More to use free of charge. I feel your pain...

Thanks for the information Gary. Last I was told we can expect it to open this summer.

Paula,
While I believe there are truly good people out there who have nothing but the best…Read More intentions for others, this story does not shock nor surprise me.
I attended meetings with a friend who was court ordered. They couldn't drive and I figured I would sit with them instead of driving back and forth.
AA claims not to be a religious sect but all the meetings and steps center around God. Not that I have a problem with God, but some people don't believe.
Our courts (Judges) sentence people to attend meetings for DUI. I find this sad and irresponsible. One, it's religion. Two, you are sending alcoholics in to a group of other alcoholics who are not trained to help people with addiction. AA teaches people they are "helpless and powerless". Really? An individual has to find strength from within to fight the addiction. Telling people they are helpless isn't going to help.
Alcoholism is usually tied to mental issues or illness. Going into a room and listening to other people's depressing rock bottom stories made me want to leave and go drink.
Paradise Club....... hmmmmmmm...... I am not surprised.
The only reason these court ordered sessions continue is that it doesn't cost the court any money. DUI's are a money maker for the courts, police and all the attorney's out there.
Ah, but that's another story.
I hope there is a happy ending for all of those above and others like them who have suffered under the guise of AA.

I just want to let people know that Dandelion has been found, thank all of you who expressed concern…Read More and kept your eyes out for him.

Does this not qualify? We're also the only news agency to report if he actually had an explosive…Read More device on him or not. Stories similar to what you've asked for almost all appeared last week.

Maybe it is just the start to a slow summer or a sign that there is nothing interesting going on in…Read More Kent. The story you mentioned turned out to be pretty uneventful and more about a guy making false, not real, threats. The two stories that have seen the most face-time have been KRHS's valedictorian and the med helicopter. Maybe highlight achievements and products of local businesses we don't hear about. Run an interesting historical piece. Not trying to be argumentative but rather making a comment that the information provided as of late has been less than interesting.

Matt -- no need to defend yourself. Considerate of you to respond, though.

It seems hardly anyone ever waits until the end of the procession to congratulate all the graduates…Read More at once.

I posted it to FB too, I live on Wolcott and I saw the flyer yesterday on a pole.

Happy to report my cat was found....in a friends garage across 43 and about one quarter of a mile…Read More away. Thanks to all of you who reposted our information on Facebook.

Glad to see that 17% of Kent citizens were able to muster the energy to bother voting, and that the…Read More majority of those few supported this very important issue. Congrats to the District for making the convincing argument.
It's pretty clear that the chorus of "NO" that exists here on Patch is not representative of the majority.

I'm glad the League did their research. Have they ever researched and said: "no, we dont feel…Read More the levy is needed?" For most of us, our research need only go as far as our wallets and income. If the schools with their million dollar budgets are feeling the crunch, imagine how average or lower average income homes are struggling.
I am very suspect of the excellent w/ distincton rating and the asking of this levy at this time.
How were we able to get that kind of incredible rating with NO ADDED FUNDS?
Did the teachers wake up last year? Did the kids wake up? How did the school get such superior ratings THAT year and none in previous ones? why such a huge gap in time and ratings?
The days of passing every school levy "just because", "we've never said no", "for the kids" or to keep our "property values" are over. The economy took care of that.
No matter how you feel about the levy: PLEASE VOTE.

I urge my fellow residents to send a message to the school board:
The Board needs to face the fact…Read More of the current economic conditions involving the residents in the Kent city school district and come back with a request for a more reasonable millage. Otherwise, I think the levy will fail.
Our city leaders encouraged businesses to come into the new development by granting concessions on taxes. Well, there goes the additional money!
