Sez Channel 2 political analyst Bill Crane: "Donald Trump continues to defy all laws of political gravity," "Given the media blow up it's just shocking, surprising. It's stupifying, but I'm not again sure all of those people will vote."
Ray Decker, a retired teacher at Lincoln Hills, said the institution had become increasingly chaotic over the past several years.
"In the last year, two years, I did have some fear that I would have a student or a group of students come after me," said Decker, who added that management gave little support, even creating a hostile working environment. "It created an atmosphere of fear. Fear for everybody there." [emphasis added]
Over the past decade, more than a thousand families have settled into timber-frame houses with generous backyards, on streets with names like Aspen, Moose and Route 66. On Sundays, some worship at a clapboard church that anchors the genteel town square, outfitted with bronze cowboys and a giant Victrola that sprays water.
“America represents wilderness and freedom, and also a big house,” said Qin You, 42, who works in private equity and owns a six-bedroom home that features a koi pond, a year-round Christmas tree and what he proudly described as “American-style” electric baseboard heating. His parents live in the house and he goes there on weekends. “The United States is cool,” he says.
A short time later, the same car, a black Jaguar, tried to pass the cyclists again, but this time hit one of the bicycles, causing the rider to hit the other cyclist, and both fell off their bikes.
According to online court records, Dohm’s record includes two drunken driving convictions, the last of which stemmed from a 2005 incident, and two convictions for driving with a revoked license.
The criminal case stemmed from an incident in September 2008 in which Dohm, armed with a pellet gun, climbed into what he said he thought was a deer stand but which his neighbors, Robert and Lorraine Shillingstad, said is their children's treehouse. It sits on the edge of some woods behind the two families' houses - million-dollar estates on 30-acre lots on Purcell Road. [emphasis added]
The structure, a two-story deck surrounded by railings with an enclosed room, overlooks a horse arena in the Shillingstads' backyard as well as land owned by another neighbor, who'd given Dohm permission to hunt there.
An exciting day for some "war on coal" U.S. Congressmen. By 4 p.m., walking the dim streets was like strolling through a coal mine. The municipal air quality index read 308, rated “hazardous” by United States standards — a level at which people should not set foot outdoors. Because of industrial coal burning, Chinese cities regularly have air of that quality, among the world’s worst. [emphasis added]
The extreme effects predicted of global climate change are already happening in western China. Glacier retreat here and across the so-called Third Pole, the glaciers of the Himalayas and related mountain ranges, threatens Asia’s water supply. Towns and villages along the arid Hexi Corridor, a passage on the historic Silk Road where camels still roam, have suffered floods and landslides caused by sudden summer rainstorms. Permafrost is disappearing from the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau, jeopardizing the existence of plants and animals, the livelihoods of its people and even the integrity of infrastructure like China’s high-altitude railway to Lhasa, Tibet.
After 45 former DNR staffers sent a letter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency criticizing how the state is running its water protection program, the governor said he's proud that the number of DNR enforcement actions against property and business owners is on the decline.
Carney, who was elected to the School Board in April, has previously raised concerns with the school's kindergarten through sixth grade social studies curriculum. As part of objecting to the Henson book in July, Carney also claimed the curriculum takes away teachers' autonomy and "downplays American exceptionalism" by focusing too much on global affairs.
Meet Mary Myopia. A Marshfield School Board member threatened not to enroll her child in the district last week over new standards for social studies classes that dictate how teachers should prepare children to be world citizens.
But first he must win the New Hampshire primary. From there on out, it will be a cakewalk to the Republican nomination, and a useful and creative one as well for the Democrats who will likely lose anyway in 2016.
