I would like to address an important issue, and I encourage all drivers who read this to share it with others, including those who are getting ready to drive.
The school year, as we know, is more than half over, and if you travel the county as I do, you have seen many school buses on the road. There are guidelines in place that dictate when to stop and when you don’t have to stop. I want to point out some safety issues and clarify any misunderstanding about when to stop for a stopped school bus.

Recent events regarding the 419 children removed from the compound in Eldorado, Texas have raised questions about what happens to children who enter the foster care system. This tragic situation has helped raised national awareness of the problems that children face when they are removed from their families and thrust into overburdened court and child protection systems.

What ever happened to the music standards of the 60’s and 70’s? Many of you who are parents know that MTV and VH1 have taken over with young kids with exposure to rap music (which is not age-appropriate), videos, and the so-called “booty dancing.”

Dear Editor:
The new Cane Bay school infuriates me to no end. I thought that educating our youth was what the public school system was all about. Silly me. I see now that it is about competing with other school districts to see who can BS the taxpayers the best and build the fanciest school. Well, I think that it is obvious that our great superintendent, Chester Floyd, has won that competition, hands down.

I have learned that Berkeley County is considering raising water rates to about $78 per month. I am currently paying about $56 a month, and this is the most I have paid for water in my entire life.
