Superintendent drives drunk, arrested

Drives Drunk

Superintendent David Stinson of Metropolitan School District of Decatur Township was arrested for driving drunk. His car was seen jumping a curb. The man's wife had just left him after 39 years. After admitting to this, he also admitted that this had caused him to drink more. He was very respectful and coopertive during the search and investigation.

Give your reactions to his response to the police search. Most people would be angry. What does this say about his character?

House Fire

House Fire

Recently there was a house fire in Hamilton County Indiana. The neighbor to the house called the fire department after coming home and seeing the fire at 4:30 p.m. Soon after, the home owner arrived. The controversy of this is that there were almost no fire hydrants near by. The hose for the water extended to 2,000 feet! Because of this, 12 firetrucks were at the scene.

I think that there should be a law on how many fire hydrants have to be in certain places. It is very dangerous that there wasn't enough. This couldv'e cause the entire house to burn down. The fire might even have spread. Clearly, because of the 12 trucks, there was a need for more fire hydrants. Therefore, I think that either the fire department themselves, or even the home owner, should petition for a new law on required fire hydrants or at least look into it.
