(Special Report) TeenZ provides opinions


A number of weekly, Special Reports are about to begin. The point of this is to get points of view, and opinions about curious thoughts, breaking news, and more. Here i beleive everybody has a right to voice their opinions. The topic this week is titled 'Why things come early to Stores'. My objective is to find the reason WHY international events such as Halloween, Christmas and Easter are advertised and displayed in major stores months prior. Also, are events like these over-rated? And if so, does too much and too lengthy publicity play a part in that?

For the report, it is my mission to visit a few selected stores in Windsor and ask reasons for this. Also, to speak to local business owners and residents' to give their points of view. The TeenZ Express special reports will be conducted every Wednesday, beginning this week (August 12th)

In the State of New York, a drunk mom was the cause of 8 deaths, including herself, by driving northbound on a southband lane. According to police on the scene, details came out tonight that a broken empty bottle of Vodka was found in the car. This is crazy! It actually makes me angry that this happened.

(Local) City workers Lacking?


After reading on the Windsor star today, residents have been complaining about the amount of time it has taken for the City to recover from the 101 day strike which ended last week. It stated that only 15-20 percent of the Citys parks have been cut and looked after in a week. Garbage wasn't collected right away, and in some parts of Windsor, still hasn't. Clearly after 3 months, there would obviously been alot of clearing up to do, yet a week after the strike ended, many locals would have expected it to be back to normal by now. Definately city workers are taking their sweet old time returning the Rose City back to its usual image.

On the last day of Windsor Pride week, will be the familiar parade. Hopefully there will be many people in attendance to the event and we hope to see you there!

(Local) So weather predictions were wrong?


Reading last week on The Weather Network, A-News, and on websites researching weather for the weekend just past for Windsor, they all said the same, a grim wet weekend, and will last untill wednesday. First of all, looking out my window right now, the sun is out and its nice and warm. And not counting the literal spit it gave last night, its been a total opposite weekend than forcast. I do beleive that is a problem alot of people think to themselves, how come weather broadcasters/researchers are wrong 85% of the time? Now i can understand long term forcasts can change, so if thats the case, why even do long term? When there is a good chance it will change. Anyway, its a good thing it didn't rain this weekend, as the Emancipation events and others took place Downtown. Windsor Pride 2009 begins tomorrow, so it would be great for the weather to stay as it is right now. In my eyes though i can see after i write this article, it will rain.

Seriously, what kind of father would do this to his kids, and it will be interesting to find out what happens now. In the story there are no mentions of a mother, or if he has sole-custody of the two children. Either way, im sure that Childrens Aid or Social Services will be getting involved very soon.
