Congrats to Bush
 Cheers for the Bush administration's efforts in their job in protecting this country from terrorism. And their honest integrity rather than politics to do whatever it will take to rid our world of this horrible evil. MORE

Unit district
 If one examines the test scores of District 86 and District 204, one notices that they both seem to be doing poorly. Maybe it's time for the taxpayers and the district to merge into one and become a unit district, and maybe they can provide a ... MORE

Speeding squad cars
 I'm calling in regards to that article about the cops speeding past people all the time. Well, let's see — first, we don't always use our lights and sirens because that notifies the criminals that we are coming. Also, if I was going to your ... MORE

Price of inactivity
 While taxpayers think about how much the war on terrorism costs, they need to think about what the cost would be to them and their children if we sit down and do nothing. MORE

Cafetorium addition
 As a Minooka resident it really concerns me about the intelligence of the powers who allow for the addition of the cafetorium to be constructed. While we are taxed out of our homes, the administrators who allow this to happen to look good. I'm ... MORE

National defense
 President Bush is responding to the dire responsibility of defending our country and protecting our freedom. Our support is with him. Problems with Iraq date back many years, as also recorded by Bill Clinton during his term in office. It's time ... MORE

Reserved seats?
 I was curious what people think, particularly on a game like we had last Friday when Memorial Stadium was sold out — having people come in early in the day and reserve seats. I paid $5 like everybody else, and there are no reserved seats in ... MORE

Lessons not learned
 Again it appears that it is time to release the hounds of war. As human beings, we seem to have failed to study the lessons from the past. MORE

State finances
 The state is supposed to be broke. It can't fund education, there are employee layoffs, closing of detention centers, etc. But speaker Michael Madigan arranges a grant to his friend at the state fair and bonuses to his aide. It's time for him to ... MORE

Why nonlocal opinions?
 Here's another example of the Plainfield board out overstepping its bounds and taking into consideration people who don't even live in the village — the tree issue of Menards. I don't understand why the village board is listening to ... MORE

How to make drugs
 What a wonderful color display of how to make drugs. Talk about encouraging people of how to and how easy to get the supplies and make drugs. I cant believe you'll print that information on the front page no less. MORE

Parental involvement
 I am a parent of a child just beginning her education in the Joliet school system. I just read the article about JT test scores being unsatisfactory. The message I get out of the article is that many parents don't care that their child is below ... MORE

Safe preserves
 I am a parent of children who are involved in soccer. My daughter's cross country team uses the forest preserves for practices and meets. I would love to see more people drawn to use the forest preserve so they would be safe, especially in the ... MORE

Meth labs
 I'm very disappointed to find the article on how to make a devastating drug. The thing with kids is they never think that anything will ever happen to them. You're telling them how to get all these things and how to take this chemical out of ... MORE
