Banish Plastic Bags And Save The Turtles
EVERY time you use a plastic carrier bag a sea turtle dies. That's the message on the Mail's cover page as readers are urged to "BANISH THE BAGS". See "a British family on a weekly shop". And know: "In a distant sea a rare turtle, plastic bags lodged in its guts, is slowly dying." Can something be done to save it? No, not The Great British Shop - that for another campaign - the turtle? Yes, says the Mail. In all there are "13 billion ways you can help." Sadly, one of these ways does not involve pulling the plastic bag from the featured turtle's guts. Nor does it include removing the plastic bag that "chokes" another turtle, also pictured. It is too late to save the gannet, which lies on a Cornwall beach, strangled by a carrier bag.
Carbondale council to discuss goals for new year
CARBONDALE — In their first meeting of 2008, members of the Carbondale City Council will be discussing what they hope to achieve with the budget in the coming fiscal year.A seven-page brief drafted by city staff entitled, "Review of Community Goals for the Fiscal Year 2009 Budget" will frame the council’s discussion.Items mentioned in the review range from the abstract, such as promoting "a sense of community pride for accomplishments and progress during the year," to the specific, in fixing crumbling sidewalks and water lines.The total city budget for fiscal year 2008 was about $42.9 million, an increase of $880,000 over the year before.Councilman Chris Wissmann, who has warned in the past that increasing costs might mean the city will have to abandon its zero-dollar property tax assessment, said Saturday he was unsure of what to expect as far as what can be accomplished in the FY 2009 budget."There are some water line replacements on Pecan Street, where the water mains have broken on a regular basis … sidewalks are ongoing, and bicycle paths," he said, highlighting a few bricks-and-mortar projects.
Madeleine McCann, Shannon Matthews And Missing Child Protocol
Sue Carroll: Most of us won't have an instant recollection who Shannon Matthews is. After thinking twice, of course we all know she is the nine-year-old missing from her home in Dewsbury Moor, West Yorkshire. But what a terrible indictment of the media that, when a child has disappeared in Britain for over a week, her name doesn't spring to our lips, we don't know her school, favourite toy or what she was wearing when last seen. Shannon is as precious to her family as Madeleine McCann, missing for 300 days, is to hers. But where are the front-page pictures, campaigns, the furore? Would this be different if she was the daughter of two middle-class, mediasavvy parents? Not a working-class child from up North. THE SUN: "Marchers wants Shannon home" THE family of Shannon Matthews led a poignant candlelit vigil for the missing nine-year-old last night – as police admitted hopes of finding her alive looked “bleak".
