The surrogate
It begins with a woman who yearns for a baby and another who is willing and able to give her one. You can imagine the motives of the prospective parents. But what about the woman willing to carry a baby, give birth and then walk away?
Friday Night Rewind It doesn't matter which team you cheer for. We've got video previews of every high school football program in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando County.
Mr. Kinzy is running for sheriff because he wants his wife to be able to go out at night without being a victim of crime.
He wants to hire more deputies, make criminals pay more for law enforcement and charge fees to those making nonemergency calls.
I would suggest that Mrs. Kinzy stays home at night if her husband becomes the sheriff.

Night of debates a conflict for Jews
The West Pasco Chamber of Commerce has scheduled an important evening of debates on Thursday, Oct. 9, the day and evening of an important Jewish observance.
Please contact the chamber and let it know of your thoughts on the subject. We in the Jewish community need to step up and speak up to those who think lightly about scheduling conflicts and say it was a mistake and they'll do better next year. They can do better this year.
There is still time to make it right. The chamber should realize the significance of its mistake.

Do your part for greener world
We must focus on a clean energy economy which will bring millions of green jobs to America. Everyone must do their part.
My husband and I recently became the first household to have net metering in Pasco County in which the energy produced from our solar panels is sold back to the power company.
We're up and running along with our Prius seriously trying to do our part to change the focus of this country to one of clean energy.

I think you all jumped the gun on Ms Rosen. Think of when the debates where held. Most religions are held on Sundays and some on saturday. Jewish holidays get little attention, and I happen to agree, even though I am not Jewish. Respect for All.

Alright, face it, we can't always curtail events because of religious reasons. I am very sure that if the debate was on Ash Wednesday that Catholics would still tune in. Stop the excuses and turn on your set.

The ignorance of some people just amazes me. I definitely think that the Jewish holidays should have been taken into consideration when these debates were scheduled. A nail appt. is not the same as a religious conflict. Let's try to be nice.

Re: Night of Debates, conflict for Jews
With no disrespect to the Jewish faith, I was personally more pleased with the fact that the debate was scheduled for the evening. Pasco has a tendency to forget their professional residents.
