Did you see the school superintendent talkin onthe news last night? Well, we will focus on the positive's in this case....

And we wonder why there are so many DRUNK DRIVING killings out there??

Cause NO one has the courage to stand up and call this teacher from Washington County

a DRUNK

and a KILLER

Shame on that superintendent for not recognizing the truth here....covering it up with all the good things she did....

Tell the kids the TRUTH...

Don't drink and DRIVE!!!

or you will kill someone

Teachers always talk about "teachable moments." Some of them are missing a good one here ... one that can save lives.

I hope that my sister's death does not go for nothing. There were 400+ at her recognition. She and her family, husband Don who will be in rehab for many months and look forward to more surgery, and her son Troy and family will have to live with the loss of there wife and mother. Bette's mother Delores and Father Ron will mourn for the rest of their lifes being that they are in their 70's. Sister's and brother will have to remember to say that there are five of us instead of six and every time we say it we'll remember. Every time we look at one of our family pictures we will remember. It's unbelievable and senseless. To me this was not an accident but a murder and anyone who let her walk out of that bar is an assessory to murder. Let Rachael's students realize the complete impact of what she did and make this a lesson for all those involved.
God bless Rachael Olson's two young girls and whoever watches over them. They are beautiful children

I knew Rachael for many years. These actions were not the norm for her. She was NOT a drinker. Rachael had been going through some tough and stressful times and made a very bad mistake. I feel for the loss of Bette and feel for her family.
I am totally against drunk driving and feel that all the people who had let her get in her car and drive are as much to blame as her ! I feel there should be charges pressed against the bar and the person that she was with and hold them accountable also. Rachael lived for her son and daughter,they were her life. I will miss seeing those kids now that they will be with her x. They are wonderful kids who loved their Mom very much. A very bad choice had been made and I hope in time that Rachael can be forgiven as she was a very loving person. When I heard the news I was devistated and when they released the cause of the accident I was even more devistated because I knew the person she was and that just wasnt her.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Voeks and their family and friends.God bless all. Thanks

Daily Horoscope for December 4

Aquarius

It's so easy to deceive yourself in some way today, especially if you allow wishful thinking to get the upper hand. Don't ignore some unpalatable facts, Aquarius, or the situation will be compounded. Are you trying to keep on the right side of someone you admire or respect? Does this mean presenting a false or highly selective image of yourself? I hope not.
