Heavy rainfall caused flooding around a lot of homes this week, but Robert and Clara Scheidt say their home floods every year. Their home is located just below Foster Dam, and they blame Linn County and the Corps of Engineers for their problem – Linn County for not cleaning out drain ditches, and the Corps for building a road above their home during the dam’s construction.

The school board determined it was okay for teachers to show portions of R-rated films in class for educational purposes. School policy indicated PG and PG-13 films could be shown with parental consent, so the board agreed to add R-rated films to the policy. The subject came up after a parent complained that two films were used in class: clips from “Saving Private Ryan” and “Rosewood.”
