Okay, I know this is an AP article, but isn't there a word missing?
"Two of designs — one featuring a great blue heron and the other an eastern bluebird — each got 12 percent of the vote, and the redheaded woodpecker got 8 percent."

I think there's a point when it makes more sense to leave some snow on the streets instead of gathering it up in piles where it's less likely to melt. I live on Center Avenue, and it's not uncommon for me to have to clear the entrance to my driveway 6 or 7 times per snowstorm just to keep up with the plows that make MULTIPLE passes. They come down the street in teams, one following behind and to the side of the the one in front. This collects and redistributes the snow to the sides of the street and into the gutters, which results in a very clear street surface, but at what cost? Last year the piles of snow on the terraces in my neighborhood were so high that backing out of any of the driveways on the block was an absolute hazard! Of course I realize that Center Ave. is a busy street and needs to be plowed. But I don't think it needs to be done more than 3 times each storm -- especially when other areas of town don't seem to get plowed until days, or weeks later.

Think about the uproar this issue has created the next time someone tries to convince you that bringing religion into the public schools would be a good idea. People can't even agree about having their children exposed to a different language, which makes me think tolerance for different religious beliefs would be a long shot!

Personally, I think these places are guilty of usury, but so are the banks when they charge exorbitant & uncapped fees for overdrafts! Might as well go to a loan shark... just make sure your health insurance (if you have it) covers broken legs.

I wonder how the apartment residents that share the building with JPAC feel? My friend lived there for a number of years, and I know he put up with A LOT of extra noise and hallway traffic! To be fair, his apartment was close to the "dressing rooms" where the performers congregated. The shows with kids were the worst! Many Saturday mornings with "tiny dancers" laughing & screeching while running through the halls wearing tap shoes. With the cement floors and metal lockers, the sound really travels in there. He was often woken up, and I was there plenty of times when we had to turn up the TV to hear over the din. He never complained, but the week before he was going to move out for good, another friend and I were helping him move a couch. We opted to use the closest door instead of carrying the couch quite a bit further down the hall and having to walk up a flight of steps, only to have to walk down a flight of (slippery) stairs outside. This route would have also required us to cross a snow-covered lawn area in order to reach the parking lot. At any rate, the door we did choose led into the box office area where the JPAC attendees enter. There was a show scheduled for that afternoon, but we were there 45 minutes before the show (a kids singing production) was going to start. If we would have been in anyone's "way," it would have been for 3 minutes at the most, but one of the women running the show came out and started yelling at us. Her tone of voice and behavior towards us was totally rude and uncalled for! So much for live and let live. After years of putting up with the inconveniences associated with "sharing" the building, it turns out the sharing was one-sided.
