| District's Measure 'E' Sets Sights on Expansion
It's another day at Cathedral City High School. Students arrive in the morning to prepare for a day of learning. But once first period ends, it's a shoulder-to-shoulder race to get to the next class. The droves of students are not unusual at Cathedral City High. For a school built for 1,800, over 3,000 kids crowd the hallways each school day. The overcrowding is something the school has to endure. But it's not just there where teachers and students deal with inadequate space.

Measure ‘E' will allow for the building of new schools and the improvement of existing schools.

To me excessive sledging and not walking when umpires have made glaring errors is against the spirit of the game and should be viewed as such. The Oz should follow Gilchrist's example of play hard until your out then walk. The problem with this Oz side seems to me the lack of respect they have for their opponants (with a few exceotions). My most pervading memory of the glorious 05 Ashes tour was not the victory parade but the duel and mutual respect shown between Flintoff and Bret Lee - this was what I loved about that tour two teams at it hammer and tongs yet in the midst of it was a paramount mutual respect.
