Story #3

You can never be too careful; especially women. Michele Schipper was pulling up to the convenience store on Bonneville Drive yesterday at 4 O’clock when a man come up and demanded that she give him her purse. When she was reaching for her purse she noticed that he was getting loser so she took defensive action She kicked him in the groin, then she roundhouse kicked him in the nose because she was afraid he wouldn’t stay down on the ground. After that she got in her car and drove to the motel down the street where she called the cops.
“I didn’t think anything, really, you know. I just reacted” says Michele. There were no witnesses and when the police got there the guy was gone. It just goes to show that even in broad daylight we need to be careful.

Story 2

Anoka County Cheriff Gus DiCesari has asked the county for more equipment and personnel, The request went to the county commissioners on Thursday. At the meeting DiCesari accused the commissioners of "shortchanging" the county sheriff department to save money. Sheriff DiCesari said, "You're putting the lives of the people of this county in jeopardy." Some county commissioners seem to disagree, such as Valerie Dawkins, Faith Ellis, Jose Gardoz, Roland Grauman and the Commission President Anne Chenn. Anita Shenuski and Raymond Laybourne support the sheriff. Shenuski said, "We never had problems until we began letting migrants come to this county to work, they are a problem for law enforcement, our schools and our health care system. They take away jobs from decent people and work for next to nothing and if something gets stolen, you can bet it is one of them that's taken it. We need to protect local residents from them." Chenn disagreed completely that immigrants are the problem, she stated that they are decent people who take the jobs that local residents don't want to take. DiCesari said that he needs to replace eight older police cruisers. Chenn told DiCesari that sheriff's department would have to make do because the county did not have the additional $580,000 it would need to supply the new vehicles for the department and the five additional deputies he wants to hire. The commissioners voted 5-2 against the sheriff's request for additional money for eight new cruisers and five additional deputies.

My first day at ARCC

My first day at Anoka-Ramsey Community College was a little scary because I had two schools to go to. I had three classes, general psychology, beginning French, and college writing and critical reading. I didn't have any friends in my first two classes so I was a kind of nervous. But I did have a friend in my last class.
All we did was go over the syllabi and get to know our teachers and classmates. Though I was nervous the first day went over well.
