How does CPR have enough gas to drive from Ames to Gilbert every day?

From what I heard Thomas is a pass first pg.

I thought Thomas was a SG? Does he play some point, too?

Are we talking about Matt Thomas here?

I think he meant Morris. I hope so. Thomas is obviously a shooting guard.

The north side will continue to grow though, they're starting on several developments west and northwest of Ada Hayden this year and next.

No they're not. Anything done it that area is A LONG ways off.

Oh there are still virgins, but they are all pregnant now.

He is talking about Thomas Pollard for Gilbert HS.

I just read the thread, and I think they're talking about Thomas Pollard, JP's son.

Where exactly south of Osky? Sounds a lot like where I went to school....

This is true. I played with him last year on the team and he just isn't big enough yet to do a lot beside passing and shooting threes. Hopefully he grows because I don't even think he is even 5'8, but Jamie is nearly 6'3 so he should have some room on that since he is only a sophomore.

But Thomas is a D1 track or cross country athlete, and would be a steal for ISU to get in either of those sports. And that kid loves ISU just as much as anyone I know, so it's looking good.

Government: Development proceeds on city

http://www.cityofames.org/modules/sh...cumentid=10762

They could annex as much as 355 acres this spring, with funds already programmed in for extension of utilities into that area and an agreement to pave grant ave. From what I've heard development on the Athen property will definitely begin this year, and i think the others want to begin as soon as possible.

That is in the Gilbert School District. Any new developments in the Ames School District have to occur in South or East Ames. There is a bit of room to the West, but only as far as the county line. However, I don't think the Ames School District needs to grow.

yea, i made the point earlier that the only growth left for the Ames school district is on the west and north-west side of town. My point is that the city will continue to grow on the north side, and thus Gilbert's enrollment will continue to grow rapidly. They are already building a new high school and have plans to expand it within the next 5 years.
