Waymarsh should follow the example of our neighboring city Gearsville. Last year,
Gearsville implemented a policy that rewards people who share rides to work with
coupons for free gas. Pollution levels in Gearsville have dropped since the policy was

the number of serious injuries from bicycle accidents, the government should
concentrate more on educating people about bicycle safety and less on encouraging or
requiring bicyclists to wear helmets."

who have worked with Cyberell for less than two years—far more than it did
experienced employees. According to the study, after the retreat new employees were
able to handle an average of ten percent more calls per hour, and the total number of
customer complaints about new employees decreased, but experienced employees
showed little improvement in these areas. Therefore, Cyberell should send only new
employees to future retreats and should use the resulting savings to double the length of
