The 'Valley Club as things turn out, had rejected 56 mostly black and Hispanic youngsters, claiming that the move was based on a lack of swimming ability.

Salem-News.com Staff Writer Robert O'Dowd says the shoveling has been an ongoing effort, and it just keeps coming, "I'm still shoveling snow. If this keeps up, New Jersey will become a Canadian province!" http://salem-news.com/articles/february102010/storm_tk_fn_ro.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february102010/storm_tk_fn_ro.php Wed, 10 Feb 2010 14:48:00 PST U.S. media outlets are writing about the new LRAD device used on demonstrators at the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh in a way that only brain-dead sold out scoundrels can. Americans should be horrified by this new form of police abuse. I predict that it will ultimately be the last straw in a society that has too high of a threshold for this type of torture. The device disburses crowds by emitting a high decibel sound so painful that it causes people to freeze and try to run. Apparently they can not always do this. http://salem-news.com/articles/october012009/lrad_hell_tk_10-1-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/october012009/lrad_hell_tk_10-1-09.php Thu, 01 Oct 2009 12:11:00 PDT Oregon union members attending the AFL-CIO national convention this week say they are ready to tackle two big issues by year's end: health care reform and passage of the Employee Free Choice Act (legislation that would make it easier for workers to join or form labor unions). http://salem-news.com/articles/september172009/afl_cio_9-17-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september172009/afl_cio_9-17-09.php Thu, 17 Sep 2009 09:26:00 PDT Too often, vets come back with their bodies and minds shattered. They’ve risked everything for their country—which means you. You owe them. Don’t walk by and pretend to yourself he is someone else’s problem or obligation. Nick Horner is a man who should not have gone to Iraq for a third deployment. The reason these men have to go for second and third tours is because too many others are shirking their responsibility. http://salem-news.com/articles/august12009/nick_horner_dj_8-1-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/august12009/nick_horner_dj_8-1-09.php Sat, 01 Aug 2009 00:24:00 PDT When judges and prosecutors ignore well established scientific evidence in an effort to make a name for themselves, they are working strictly for the sake of their careers, instead of the people they are elected and hired to serve. I can't say whether that is taking place in the trial of Nick Horner, but I wonder. http://salem-news.com/articles/july272009/nick_horner_folo_7-1-24-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/july272009/nick_horner_folo_7-1-24-09.php Mon, 27 Jul 2009 23:30:00 PDT The TrueMajority.org "IranMobile", a Dr. Strangelove-like thermonuclear missile that rises 20 feet into the air for launch, is on a tour to raise awareness over the desires of U.S. Republican "chickenhawks" to attack Iran. The group points to President Bush, Vice President Cheney and their most extreme pro-war allies who have been saber-rattling about Iran for over a year. http://salem-news.com/articles/april222008/iran_float_4-22-08.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april222008/iran_float_4-22-08.php Tue, 22 Apr 2008 11:10:00 PDT
