It’s a three-way
”
I have a complaint regarding the intersection of West Luchessa
and Thomas. It’s a three way stop and people tend to go right
through that intersection. I’m a resident of the Villagio homes
there, so I come to a stop, thinking it’s my turn, and people just
go right through and a couple times I’ve almost gotten hit. With
three children, that’s just very unsafe.

Caller, if readers didn’t know before, they do now. OK people, let’s pay attention and show some courtesy.
Leave the schools out of it
“I have a comment about the big deal they’re making about the kids dancing at the schools. That has nothing to do with the schools! The schools just put on the dances. Those little girls are just like that because that’s just the way it is obviously. Maybe the parents need to start looking into their daughters’ rooms and see how they’re dancing because there aren’t that many school dances for them to be giving the schools a big issue like that. What do they want the school to say? No dancing like that. It’s not their job to say how the kids are going to dance. Just put off the dances and that’s it. But the girls are still going to dance the way they dance. That’s the way they all dance. They need to get off the school about that. Thanks.”
Red Phone:
There’s your comment. It agrees that parents need to be involved, but since Red Phone is no longer in school, it’s curious: Is it just the girls doing the freak dancing?
Love that guard
“I want to commend and thank the crossing guard at Mantelli and Kern in the mornings. After he has made sure the kids have safely crossed, he always runs back to his post, which makes the traffic flow easier and he’s getting exercise too. So thank you!”
Red Phone:
Thanks for the call. Red Phone hopes he sees your comment and if not, it hopes someone passes it along to him.
What’s the policy?
“Can you let me know what sort of policy you guys have about printing pictures of children in the Dispatch without parental permission? Thanks a lot.”
Red Phone:
The Dispatch’s policy is this: For a photo taken in a public place, the photographer will approach the person – whether adult or minor – and ask for names. If the person, or if a parent is present, does not wish themselves or their child to be in the newspaper, generally the Dispatch will respect their wishes and not publish the photo.
However, in most cases, parents are more than happy to see their little one in the paper.
Note that it is perfectly legal for photographs to be taken on public property and published in the Dispatch. And many people order additional copies of the Dispatch when a familiar face is seen, which you can do by calling Chief Photographer Chris Riley at 847-7140.
