The President and the School Bus Hero
Monday, August 6th, 2007
Jeremy Hernandez leaves the Interstate 35W bridge after he helped rescue youngsters from a school bus after the bridge collapsed last Wednesday.
Gary Babineau, 24, of Blaine, Minn., who was on the Interstate 35W bridge, rear, that collapsed over the Mississippi River and helped schoolchildren from their bus to safety.
Two guys that stepped up when they were needed.
Guess which one President Bush decided to make the photo op with?
“Bring on the surburbian white boy!”
Oh well, Hernandez got some good news today. Strib:
Hernandez said that he was working as a youth worker at Waite House after he’d been forced to drop out of Dunwoody for lack of money. The school’s tuition and fees typically run $15,000 annually.
If [he] wants to resume learning auto mechanics at Dunwoody College of Technology, he can do so without charge.
The Minneapolis school made that offer to Hernandez’s family Saturday.
Nice to know that Hernandez is getting some recognition for his heroism.

Monday, August 6th, 2007(dis) pencer wants your feedback:
what was your take?
how was the registration? smooth? not?
did you pre-reg? how was that?
were the races run well?
too long? too short?
how the the primes work out? well? terrible?
did you, or your team change from the “standard crit plan” because of the primes?
should we do them again next year?
why weren’t the 1/2/3 women in attendance?
was there a convention we didn’t know about?
how was the organization, from an outside prospective?
is there another bridge in the area scheduled to fall down anytime next year?
let me know!help us improve this race.
So let him know what you thought of the event.
Personally, I thought the last ten laps of the 1/2/3 men’s race with the primes was super awesome.

He was sentenced to 30 days in the workhouse but won’t have to serve a day if he stays out of trouble for a year.
If you missed the story you can read it here.
Lesson learned? Don’t walk away from the cops when they are making unreasonable requests of you.
