Editorial: City needs to finish what it started

Our View
The City of Craig needs to take a hard look at potentially dangerous streets, particularly the stretch of Barclay that crosses the Sandrocks. More enforcement and sidewalks would go a long way to ensuring the safety of motorists and pedestrians alike.
Anyone who starts a project should follow it through to the end.
Common sense, right?
Yet completion is noticeably lacking when it comes to some of Craig's streets and pathways.
The stretch of Barclay Street that crosses the Sandrocks is a good example. It's a hazard that a little forethought and follow through could have prevented.
The street is narrow, winding and steep on both sides of the Sandrocks, making it an invitation for young, reckless drivers to catch air.
It's a daily hazard for residents who live in this area, and it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt or killed.
The editorial board wonders why this street was created in the first place. Yampa Avenue, a route designed much better, is just a few blocks away.
Regardless, the city could take steps to make Barclay less dangerous.
Better speed enforcement and more police presence in that area would stop joy-riding teens in their tracks. Speed bumps would put a damper on drivers looking for a cheap thrill.
Motorists aren't the only ones at risk on this stretch of road. Without sidewalks, pedestrians are left to fend for themselves on an already dangerous thoroughfare.
Putting in a sidewalk on this road would be costly and difficult, but safety is worth the investment.
Alta Vista Drive is another steep and dangerous route that would benefit from more enforcement or even less labor-intensive solutions, like speed bumps that prompts drivers to slow down.
The editorial board urges city officials to scrutinize areas of the city that pose the greatest hazards to motorists and pedestrians alike.
It's common sense, but it deserves repeating: Projects worth starting are worth finishing. Safety, and quality of life, suffer if they aren't.

Talking about sidewalks. Whatever happened to the grant that was received to finish the sidewalks around the new middle school? I can't remember if the city or the school dist. was to received a grant or for sure when it was but I remember reading something about it. This is another area that needs to be finished. With the amount of traffic and school kids there will be a tragedy in that area. Maybe the newspaper could get some answers about what happened. Always wondered why the Hospital had to put sidewalks all the way to CR 7 and the new College didn't and the middle school didn't?

Honey |
(1 review) |
Local, raw, natural honey. Located on Lake Shelbyville IL.
Our bees are located near Lake Shelbyville Illinois and have access to miles of lake shore and woodland that is teeming with a large variety of wild flowers and flowering trees and shrubs. Our honey is minimally processed.
We uncap the frames, extract and strain the honey to remove any hive debris, that's it! Since we are such a small operation with only two hives, you can know that your honey only came from one hive and was not mixed with honey from other hives or seasons. We only sell a small amount of our honey and it sells fairly quick so the honey you buy from us will always be from the current season and as fresh as it gets!

UN Ambassador withdraws her name from consideration for Secretary of State nomination
POSTED: Friday, December 14, 2012 - 10:00am
UPDATED: Friday, December 14, 2012 - 10:04am
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice has withdrawn her name from consideration for Secretary of State.
Her decision comes in response to criticism she has been facing for her description of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans in September.
Rice was seen as President Obama's favorite to follow Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
In an exclusive interview with NBC's Brian Williams for Thursday's Rock Center, Rice explained her decision.
"I didn't want to see a confirmation process that was very prolonged, very politicized, very distracting and very disruptive because there are so many things we need to get done as a country," she said.
The president accepted her decision and praised Rice during an interview with NBC affiliate KCRA.
"She has done an outstanding job. I could not be prouder with her," Mr. Obama said.
President Obama also made clear that despite this twist, Rice will remain in his inner circle.
Many now expect President Obama will now nominate Senator John Kerry to the post.

Buy at your own risk
I bought this as a birthday gift and when i received it I ended up sending it right back. The silk-screening seemed cheap and the sizing was off. Also the person it was purchased for has bought their other products and they ended up falling apart in a very short period of time.

Hotel Parador de Olite - Olite
Pza. Teobaldos, 2 - Olite
1-877-662-6988Beautifully designed and housed in one of the wings of a 15th-century Medieval palace, the Parador de Olite Hotel offers guests the opportunity to stay in one of Spain's national monuments. The stone walls heighten the Medieval atmosphere of the building, with its stained glass windows and archways, making for a truly unique experience. The lounge area offers a relaxed ambiance where guests can snuggle up with a book and a drink from the hotel bar.
Boasting the best example of civil Gothic architecture in Navarre, the town of Olite is truly a joy to walk around. Being a wine capital, an absolute must is visiting the bodegas (wineries) for local wine tasting sessions. After a day of wandering around Olite's cobble streets, guests can enjoy dinner in the hotel's fine-dining restaurant, with its regional specialties and a separate children's menu.
a wonderful place to recommend!!!!!!!!!
