Olpe gets new sign
Probably only the replacement cost of what was destroyed and the labor involved with its reinstallation. Upgrading from a standard metal sign to a marquee "billboard" likely wouldn't be included.

Cost of living
Your rates go up after a speeding ticket because it's more than likely that the driver is speeding on a regular basis. Speeding enough times to get caught and getting away with it countless other times. Speeding is a risky behavior and insurance is a risk-management product. Put simply, the more you speed- the more likely you are to cause an accident - the more likely you are to damage both your car and someone elses. Resulting in thousands of dollars in damage. Not sure how you're "not guilty" on a speeding ticket that was contested, and lost, in court. Sounds like it was well earned.
Insurance companies are businesses, in business to make a profit and maintain sustainability. If they weren't it would be called a "charity." Since the author of this feels like such a victim of the "corporation," perhaps he should offer a suggestion to the company. Specifically, why should safe drivers/homeowners that maintain their property and don't cause accidents (or get tickets) pay the exact same on their monthly payments? Think of the unrest they would have if it were that way.
Finally Mr/Ms Gonzalez, our rates going up is based on mass statistics on risk and risky behaviors. Even in low risk, inflation is inevitable. You're not being singled out. It can happen to anyone. The way I see it, it's still easier than having to cough up all the money abruptly at one time.

Coburn's expands menu
I'm with "seriouslyfolks," Coburns rocks! I've always had good service when I've been in there, better than the national-chain competitors. Added bonus, I'd much rather spend my money here knowing it doesn't get shipped off to a national HQ several states away never to be seen/circulated again. I'm referring to you Wal-Mart, McD's, BK & the others. Spend locally and buy American.

Sheriff: Don’t text to 911
What kind of retard takes the time to type a text message over dialing 9-1-1 and pushing "talk"?!?! That's 4 buttons! Are you going to text back and forth with the dispatcher! Stating your location and "I need help" takes 5 seconds. It's unbelievable that this happened more than once. Idiots!

Lowe’s remains on hold
I'm sure the economic climate going from bad to worse in the last couple of years had nothing to do with the decision... by Lowe's. A national chain. City officials might be able to attract new businesses to town but you might be asking too much if you think they can control the economy or the decision-making of a home improvement giant with hundreds of stores in the US.
Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise. Do we really need another hardware store?

Bud Light fan cans OK in Emporia
No one is seriously trying to attribute a color scheme to binge drinking right? If so, do you propose beer manufacturers deliver their product in a hideous paisley or plaid design?
KU and KSU are mad because they aren't churning a profit. The colors on the can are irrelevant folks.

ESU blown out at Pitt State
This is getting exciting... week after week not knowing who will win first, the Chiefs or ESU... Is it basketball season yet?

Hornets drop fifth straight
Times are tough. How about open tryouts for the kicker's scholarship. Or just take the winner of the halftime punt/pass/kick contest...
