| SAISD workers accused of stealing copper
Two former San Antonio Independent School District employees have been accused of stealing copper. "We have presented charges to the DA for prosecution of two former employees for stealing copper tubing from several of our schools," SAISD spokeswoman Carmen Vázquez-González said. Authorities have not charged the two men, so their names are not available. On Wednesday, copper was selling for about $3 per pound. Vázquez-González says the pair took up to $10,000 worth of copper from air conditioning units from portable buildings and other school district facilities. "We're looking at, right now, at least $10,000 in aggregate charges," she said. .

Sheriff Blotter: Woman Denies Hit & Run Despite Evidence On Car
SUMMIT COUNTY, Colo. -- A citizen who witnessed a hit-and-run between a silver sports car and a red Subaru in a Summit County parking lot did more than call the sheriff. The witness got a license plate number of the silver sports car before it took off. A sheriff's deputy responding to the call found a red Subaru with damage and paint scratched off. In the police report obtained by 7NEWS, the officer noted "the Subaru was pulled all the way in to the parking spot and was not sticking out into the roadway at all." The officer then went in search of the other vehicle. Using the license plate number, he tracked the vehicle to a home in the Keystone area. .
Gazans Feeling Recoil of Attacks on Israel
When the fighters came one morning last month, the Wahdan family pleaded with them to think of the Israeli return fire that the rockets often drew. "There are women in the house, there are children," Wahdan recalled telling them. "You run away, but if the Israeli planes come, where do we go?" But the gunmen went on as planned, the Wahdan family said. When the fighters came back that afternoon to launch rockets that had failed to fire the first time, Khadra, Mohammed's 54-year-old mother, was rolling dough in the kitchen. She ran out to shout at the fighters. Khadra made it to the gate of the family courtyard when an Israeli shell hit. Shrapnel killed her and the family's 15-year-old hired farmhand. "Her last words were, 'Go away,' " Mohammed Wahdan said.
Religion too big a part of elections
That was a real stretch. Now I suppose you will tell me that the slaughter of hundreds of millions by the communists was an act of love. Starving the people of the Ukraine to death must have also been the intellectually superior act of love. Adolf Hitler was as left wing as you could ask for. I don't allow the propagandists to tell me what that creep was. Too many of our families were slaughtered by that left wing extremists. Do a bit of in depth study please. What pray tell do you think the word NAZI means? " .
