Is it a case of the Troy Romeo? [Aug 4, 2007]
Lauren Dean, of Coldwater, Michigan, was missing for three weeks before she walked into a Coldwater police station on July 30. Apparently, she ran way from home to meet Daniel Knopp of Troy. Knopp, 20, met Dean, 16, through Myspace. Who would have thought that young love could blossom on Myspace? The main stream media made me think only sexual predators could be found there.
Connector Road Route Proposed
Here's an article about this proposed route for the connector road south of Troy. The story says that the road would go south from Hwy 47, then west over Hwy 61 and connect to Linns Mill Road on the other side. If you think this sound ridiculous, try going to the Gmap-Pedometer mashup site and see what a seven-mile road along that route would look like. The city paid $130,000 for someone to come up with this idea. I know my opinion isn't worth $130,000 but, I would think utilizing the new Hwy C overpass would be a better idea for everyone. Here's a map of the area. Wouldn't is be easier to just connect C to Hwy J via Elm Tree Road?

Forler Trial: Truck Speed/Teasley's BAC [May 17, 2007]
This article from the PD reports that Tyler Teasley's blood alcohol level was estimated at between .17-.19. I don't really think that was a factor at all in the events of that night though. It was also estimated that the truck moved backwards at around 3.35 mph, taking 7.78 seconds to hit the patrol car.

Fingerpointing Begins Over Construction Accident
Here are several stories on the horrible accident Thursday morning in Moscow Mills. Thank god the little girl is ok. The school district wasted little time in blaming the construction company for the accident. Last time I checked placing blame that quick doesn't help matters any. Just move the kids and teachers away from the construction like they should have been in the first place.

U.S. Mail Delivery Is Awesome [Jul 23, 2006]
Last night around 11:30 pm a U.S. mail semi truck broke a bridge in Troy. The bridge was designed to carry 4 tons max. The truck weighed 19 tons and fell the 30 feet into the Cuivre. Sometimes I wonder if truck drivers really give a shit about anything on the road. How many times have u almost been hit on 47 towards Hawk Point/Warrenton? I really hope none of my mail got wet

Troy Man Causes National Stir [Jun 15, 2006]
You may have caught something recently in the news about Southern Baptists and public schools. Did you know that a man from Troy, MO is a driving force behind it?
Here's the story
Roger Moran of Troy proposed what he called an "exit strategy" along with Bruce Shortt to the Southern Baptist Convention. Moran, who sits on the SBC executive committee and is a leading voice of the organization, proposed his plan to the SBC's resolution committee, but the proposal died in the committee when it delcined to pass the resolution on to the delegates at the Annual Meeting in Greensboro, N.C.
The plan called on the general membership to pull children out of the public schools in favor of home schooling or private schooling. It came about due the members being unsatisfied with the way public schools are dealing with the topics of homosexuality, "creative design" and religion in schools.
In denying to put the resolution forward, the committee decided to encourage the 16.2 million Southern Baptists to ``engage the culture of our public school systems" by exerting ``godly influence," including standing for election to local school boards.
