o.k. all you folks who think the police dept. will hide everything under the rug. what you got to say now ?

you guys hang in there. my niece was diagnosed with exactly the same thing. they told her parent she would have all the same problems they told you about. today she knits blankets for veterans and works full time as a receptionist for a law firm in denver. danielle is 34 years old now and has no plans to die any time soon. she is a wonderful Christian woman with plans for her life. don't let anyone talk you into believing different. love that little guy and treat him like all the other little guys, he will do fine and you will be proud of him. oh, they said she would be slow all her life, well maybe, but she finished high school and did two years in college.

o.k. guys, pop quiz !

when i was remodeling our house, the city building inspector about drove me to drink with all his silly requirements that cost me twice the time to finish the project. he told me it was all nessesary to wind up with a 'SAFE' structure.

o.k. so he was right, i wound up with a well built and safe structure.

“SO”

instead of asking for all these inspections from out of town inspectors and spending a potload of craig taxpayer money to pay for all of it, why not just ask our building inspector if it is built correctly ? after all, its all in the city, he had to have inspected it as it was being built, right ?

hey, c'mon, we pay good help, we need to go to them for information?

oh my ! here we go again ! let a cop do something and out of the woodwork come the cover up folks. what a shame that cops cannot be looked at as people instead of robots that are somehow broken. you weren't there to see what actually happened, and take it from someone who used to consider tim jantz a friend, he will not cover something up. if the incident requires an arrest, one will be made. if it rates conviction, he will see to it.

damn guys, every time a cop is involved don't make it a sure thing that he is wrong. he may be, but until you are willing to walk in his shoes, don't try and convict him and the entire system before you hear the whole story.

jantz may not be much af a friend to folks, but he is a good cop who won't cover anything up.

after all, you elected all of them.

good grief ! i said someone outside these unions to ride heard on the system itself. wow there is always someone married to a teacher that comes in and makes zero sense.

you people always want citizen groups to watchdog things like the police, but say one thing about the “never do wrong” teachers and your in trouble.

my concern is only for the kids. in my day you couldn't have gotten out of the 3rd grade if you couldn't read, but today we graduate kids like that. o.k. genius, tell me why ? don't jump up and defend the system, defend the kids. c'mon were waiting.

kudos, scott.

i hope you can change things. i once hired a young man to work for me. he had just “graduated” from moffat county high school. this boy was not trainable so i offered to help him get into the military. they tested him and found him to be “functually illiterate” the kid couldn't read !!

the schools come to us wanting more money all the time and then graduate kids that cannot read ?

we need people like you guys, outside the teachers unions and such to ride herd on these people. i'll bet if the teachers feet were held to the fire and their pay scale adjusted to meet their output of well educated kids, things would change.

well, its a nice pipe dream. good luck with this and i will be waiting, watching, but certainly not voting for any tax increases till i see some real change.

wow ! you had to be an officer.

i have spent a lot of time working with the DAV at the grand jct. veterans hospital. i get to see what these kids are going through. it took 15 years to see viet nam homeless vets. its taking 6 months to see them now. PTSD is horrible with these kids. don't tell me it is a different war, any time our very best is dying or getting maimed in a war that cannot be won, its the same war. if you did 4 tours you must have been a really good volunteer. they would have to had captured me and dragged me kicking and screaming back to that war. a C130 full of body bags visits me in my sleep, what visits you ? i am very proud of my service, and while i certainly did not do 4 tours, i came back with my share of problems. hopefully by accepting a full time position with the DAV i can do my part to help these kids. i don't care how many tours you did, i only care that these kids get back in better shape than we did. no disrespect meant to you or your service.

i am getting a little more than mad about the way the government is doing these kids today.

when they sent us to viet nam we went for 6 months (navy) or one year (army, marines) then sent us home — (only rambo did 4 tours in viet nam.)

today they just keep sending these kids back, over and over, and over. this really needs to stop. the trouble with wars is that we fight them with the very best we have.

we proved in korea and viet nam that you cannot win a war when the good guys and the bad guys looked exactly alike. and folks, holy wars can never be won. you can't fight an enemy that wants to die.

i will personally vote for whoever guarantees to pull these kids out of there, be he democrat, republican, or independent.

i'd even vote for obama bin laden himself if he pulled those kids out of there. war is one thing, but we need a goal, i thought that was to get bin laden. hello !!! we got him.

we need to drill a hole in every acre in america and find enough oil that we can tell them opec countries to bite us ! then we can stop fighting for oil and calling it anything else.

sorry for the rant, but i'm really getting tired of seeing good kids get hurt for no reason.

hang in there mary lou, were praying for him.

you know, if the schools would actually spend the money on students education, rather than pay raises for themselves, more school bus drivers, etc. i might go along with them. if kids were getting smarter, i might agree.

what i see is a generation of kids losing their identities in front of a text message screen and on facebook, when tested they come out way below kids in other countries.

how much money do we need to throw at schools before we see our kids getting any smarter ? i once hired a moffat county high school graduate that couldn't read !! whats that about ?? i couldn't have gotten out of the third grade if i couldn't have read.

nope ! i won't vote for it till i see some real improvement in education.
