This happened very close to the police station without a good description of suspects and vehicle. Sounds like a made up story.

Joe Knows? I don't think so...what do you consider close? Six blocks is my calculation and do you expect the police to babysit?It was dark out and the suspects dressed in dark clothing... My point be that I have heard so many various stories and makes no difference, a breakin is is just that...it happened so lets get on with it...just my opinion

some body knows, 13 of them for sure knows. thats how many come to rob a disabled woman, who was alone. her life saving to buy a home to get out of this area away from her x- husband and to start a new life and play with her grand children. To my knowledge no arrests have been made. those that have info are told to call in and no officers are returning the call , whats up with THAT????? I am not an expert on finding criminals but facebook shows alot

Didn't O'Reilly's just close on the other side of town? There's a 'for lease' sign on the building.

Great to see the 4th graders getting ready for their 5th grade camp at Alliance Redwoods. I took myRead More 6th graders there for many years and Alliance has an outstanding program that keeps the kids focused on environmental education and stewardship. The night hike through the redwoods was always their favorite (along with the zip line). Note: No need to bring snacks as the dining hall meals has everything you will need, but you may want to bring some extra money for the gift shop. Dan Mattingly/Retired Teacher

One project we are trying to get funding or donations for is we need approximately 50 cubic yards ofRead More top soil to even out the back and side yards and bring them up even with the patio in the back.
