STORY!!
Getting Priorities Straight in Middleton

In 2009, Middleton was voted Jackson County’s Safest Town to Live In. This honor, bestowed on Middleton for five years in a row, was determined through police records across the county’s 21 municipalities. However, if Middleton is so safe, why does Middleton General Hospital rank highest for emergency room visits?
The answer is obvious to many residents: Middleton’s unsafe buildings and roads. Each year, Middleton sees about 100 accidents stemming from subpar roads and buildings that are in disrepair. For example, in 2005—the first year Middleton was recognized as the safest town—an elderly woman broke her ankle on a crumbling curb on Browne Street. Later that year, a roof tile flew off Hamilton Bank, striking a resident on the head. A longtime pothole on Sycamore Avenue sent a toddler to the emergency room in October, and loose steps on the courthouse injured two court clerks just one week later.
According to Grace Chen, principal at Tucker Elementary School, “We used to see more injuries on the playground than on the sidewalks. Now, our students are hurt walking to school. They’re hurt in public buildings. They’re getting hurt on field trips around town.”
Tasha Johnson, a 16-year-old at Fleming High School, was injured riding her bike on Park Street. “I broke my leg,” says the high school junior. “I couldn’t play soccer for the rest of the season. Why did that have to happen to me? It was totally unfair.”
They’re not the only Middleton residents who feel this way. In fact, 2,311 people—over half of Middleton’s population—signed a petition to get the town’s safety back on track.
Mayor Mitchell Walker replied by saying, “The town council is doing everything in its power to remedy these issues. Unfortunately, we don’t have the funds. To make all of the repairs necessary, we’d have to increase taxes by 20%. That is unreasonable in this economy.”
Though funds are unavailable for basic repairs, salaries for town employees increased 15% in 2008 alone. This is in addition to the 10% increases they’ve received every year for the past six years. Ironically, Middleton’s Town Building Inspector, Joshua Reynolds, is the highest-paid town employee.
Regardless of their six-figure salaries, Middleton’s top brass cannot devise a plan to meet simple safety needs. Reynolds received a $75,000 bonus last year, yet a screen fell from his own office window and onto the Main Street sidewalk.
As taxpayers, we have to wonder: When will our hard-earned tax dollars go toward the repairs we want and need? Why are we paying our town employees $200,000 a year while Middleton’s biggest problem goes unfunded?

Memories of a memory have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? if so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. new insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things. first, memory is vague. imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. most likely, you could describe the room very generally. you could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. but the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. so when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. there are lots of different kinds of "tall." second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. to do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. for example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. in effect, your brain is combining memories to you tell the story. third, your memory changes over time. it also changes the more you retell the story. documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. you may have noticed this yourself. the next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. you may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story. with individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? the human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. when it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture. part a and part b below contain one fill-in-the-blank to be used for all three question responses. your complete response must be in the format a, b, c including the letter choice, commas, and a space after the commas. part a: which of the following best explains why memories from childhood are unreliable? fill in blank 1 using a, b, or c. our brains add details and general knowledge to childhood memories. our brains are not as reliable as video cameras are. our brains create new stories to make the past more interesting. part b select one quotation from the text that supports your answer to part a. add your selection to blank 1 using e, f, or g. but the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall. to do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. select one quotation from the text that supports your answer to part a. add your selection to blank 1 using h, i, or j. documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. with individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. when it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture answer for blank 1:
