" really the best thing is seeing the

someone's face when they see there's someone there who's going to help them. often what happens after an emergency is a sense of helplessness (39) wondering what the heck i'm going to do now. so knowing someone is there for that express purpose., to be able to provide guidence (50). " clark county fire and rescue has not said what started this fire. two people were killed, when their car rolled over on new year's eve and burst into flames. "they were traveling at a high rate of speed, they did travel across all the travel lanes at once, colliding with the center median wall, then back across the travel lanes off into the right shoulder where they overturned.

sellers are not federally licensed... which means some guns might be purchased without a background check. one dealer we talked to says he doesn't think the new rules will make a difference. " the basic flaw is there's no relation to crime. there is no data that shows guns purchased without a background check are used in crime. in fact, the statistics show virtually all mass shooters, depending on how you define a mass shooter, passed their background checks." president obama's executive action plan is expected to be announced sometime next week. only one baby can earn the title of being the first born in our valley in 2016... or so we thought! meet the two newborns who will have a good ice breaker story for the rest of their lives. remembering a singer who's entertained fans for decades... we'll look at some of natalie cole's most memorable moments.
