Ray Rice provided a more conventional 181 yards on 39 carries for Rutgers (5-2, 2-1 Big...

Note from Bill: Below is the Courier Post article that I used to write my editorial. The lines I used for information are highlighted.

What I was also trying to get across is the fact that volunteers are being used by these fire departments to cut down on costs. The story also points out how Fire Departments conduct outreach programs to attract more volunteers. In my opinion...
