Obama wants Faith

Eliza Ferree — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 13:30:38 +0000

Obama came down to Independence this past Monday, but it wasn’t until yesterday when he went to Ohio that he announced he wished for more “faith-based” initiatives. I must ask, when did politics become religious? Aren’t we suppose to keep church and state separate? Apparently Obama wants to spread out social funding to religious groups as well. But how does one determine which religious group money goes too? Isn’t this getting into an avenue that the state or states SHOULD NOT interfere with? I really think this is an area that all politics should stay out of since there are too many different religions, but that’s just my opinion.

Man with Felony hits 82-year-old Woman

Eliza Ferree — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 12:58:25 +0000

An 82-year-old woman was hit on Tuesday while driving her car, which should’ve been perfectly fine. But a man with a felony on his record was trying to out-run the police and slammed into her vehicle. Thankfully his face hit the steering wheel and shattered several teeth, which of course he wanted to collect. This not only kept him on the scene but police helped search for them which ended him with another charge since they found a gun in his possession. By the way, the gun was against his probation since no one with a felony record should have. Hmm, looks like he’ll be getting some time. No clue on the condition of the woman.

University Gets $10M Donation

The Pittsburg State University has announced that they received a $10 million donation towards it, however it was to stay anonymous and it would be going towards the fine arts center. Talk about someone that must’ve loved their art, I’m sure the University, students, faculty and future students thank you, whoever you are. They are currently in the process of rebuilding a new center to replace the old and torn down, “Carney Hall.” Let the plays begin once again.

Cabbie Carjacked in KC

Eliza Ferree — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 14:11:04 +0000

As if driving around picking people up at all hours wasn’t bad enough, now a Kansas City cab driver got carjacked by gunpoint. The cab was later retrieved over at an ally between Wabash Street and Elma and the driver wasn’t hurt. Granted he lost any money he would’ve earned driving others around during the time he didn’t have his cab.

Inches-a-Weigh Out?

Eliza Ferree — Thu, 29 May 2008 18:55:36 +0000

Did “Inches-a-Weigh” really weigh out? Earlier this week three “Inches-A-Weigh” businesses/gyms had their doors locked and weren’t letting anyone in. Was there a reason behind it?

Seems the note on the door just said they were working hard to reopen. Reopen, why? Why did they close in the first place? Weren’t they making enough with all those memberships?
