My heart goes out to the owners. If my dog took off, I know, I wouldn't be able to sleep until she was found. As I sit here on my couch in my living room, my dog is laying next to me. I hope Snappy's owners have him back in their home real soon. As for Dan, you are a heartless person. Keep your mean comments to yourself!" Reader Mary, commenting on the story, "Roving …

In a few days, I'm sure, most of these knuckleheads will find something else to get fired up about! I call them 'part-time activists.'" Reader…

1. Your 3-Day Local Weather Forecast: 2. Reader Comment of the Day: "LOTS of progress have been made to mitigate the damage done by drunken drivers. This has been achieved through public awareness resulting from anti drunk- driving campaigns, law enforcement, etc. Gone is the time when one would think it's "cute" to brag about being so drunk after a party and still making home in one piece. THAT outrage about your statistics is certainly STILL there, even stronger. If you don't know this, you must be living under a rock, or more likely you are one of these red-necks who love their guns more than their community, and are trying desperately to hang on them."

In spite of all the resources we continue to put into our educational system it's been on a gradual decline for decades. One contributing factor to that decline could be an increase in the number of students showing up at first grade who cannot speak english." Reader Zoltan, commenting on the story, "…

Reader Comment of the Day: "I have no problem with fingerprinting possible teachers as opposed to Cori, but if we are doing it for the children it should be done across the board for all professions that have contact with children. People also seem to be thinking "nationwide" as if that solves the problem. In my school career I can think of three teachers off the top of my head who were from other countries, are we going to start checking there too? Also, the majority of child molestation issues have been perpetrated by family members, friends of the family, …
