Contractor emerges as charity's Champion
Vandals destroyed the heater at the American Red Cross' headquarters on Sixth Street in Modesto last week, sending a shiver through the charity, but things began to warm up again Tuesday. Champion Industrial Contractors Inc. of Modesto donated the $2,500 deductible the Red Cross would have had to pay to replace the heating and air conditioning unit, said Rebecca Ciszek, executive director of the Red Cross's Stanislaus County chapter. Then the contractor installed a $5,702 replacement unit. The balance will be covered by insurance. By early afternoon, the place was heating up. "The classroom is nice and warm," Ciszek said about 1 p.m. "It took a little while because that room had been cold now for a week." The donation means the organization won't have to dig into its charity funds to fix the unit, Ciszek said.

Religion too big a part of elections
That was a real stretch. Now I suppose you will tell me that the slaughter of hundreds of millions by the communists was an act of love. Starving the people of the Ukraine to death must have also been the intellectually superior act of love. Adolf Hitler was as left wing as you could ask for. I don't allow the propagandists to tell me what that creep was. Too many of our families were slaughtered by that left wing extremists. Do a bit of in depth study please. What pray tell do you think the word NAZI means? " .
