Mind your own health (and business) and I’ll mind mine
There was a recent column by Bob Darcy concerning how great it was that the Faculty Council recommended the Stillwater campus adopt a smoke-free policy. The debate is over, Darcy said in the column. That may be, but lets be certain of what the debate really is about. Its certainly not about the health of the campus its about control of peoples lives. Despite the constant advertising in the media aimed at persuading people not to smoke, there are still some who do smoke. Apparently that just cannot be tolerated by some, though not all, of those who dont smoke. Through political action they seek to institute policies and laws to take away the liberties, particularly the right to choose, of smokers, thereby dehumanizing them. If you take away enough of their rights, maybe they will convert and become nonsmokers, at least temporarily, then allowed to rejoin humanity.

Growing gadget market keeps battery store busy
When Keith Hrasky decided to go into franchising, he looked at a few different concepts: Frozen yogurt, a bread company and one-hour photos. But 10 years ago, there seemed to be a frozen yogurt joint on every corner and he didn't want to wake up in the middle of the night to bake bread. So he and his wife, Kassandra, decided on batteries. Little did they know what a huge growth area they were about to enter. That was 10 years ago and his Albuquerque location of Batteries Plus has ridden the national wave of technological gadgetry that has swept the consumer markets over the past decade. Hrasky's store, part of a national company serving a $22-billion market, now carries oodles of cell phone batteries, as well as batteries for everything from cars and motorcycles to wheelchairs, laptops, camcorders and portable DVD players.
Police keep a tight lid on murder case details
The investigation into the murder of Paula F. Grossi, 45, of Rehoboth enters its second week with police still keeping a tight lid on how much information is provided to the public.
Police say releasing too much information would impede the investigation as they search for two men wanted for the crime.
The addition of a $100,000 reward could speed up the investigation. Francis "Frank" Grossi, father of the slain woman, met with the public and press Friday, Feb. 2, to announce a $100,000 reward leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for what he called a senseless and horrific act.
The Delaware State Police Homicide Unit detective in charge of the investigation, Mark Papili, called the reward the highest he can recall.
