It is very easy to sit and type and make excuses to do nothing but gripe. You won't really know anything until you step up, put your name in, serve the three years if selected, and only then know for a fact that everything you claim is true or imagined. You also might just learn something too. It would be nice if so many people put in their names that there were more names than positions
Matt, Thanks for being willing to take the time.

Methusla & biscuitboy, and anyone else. If you think the city staff and boards are so bad, why don't you get up and do something about it- The City Commission is taking volunteers for Planning & Zoning, Human Relations, and other boards. Have you put your name in? Methusla- you specifically were invited by the City Manager during the budget process this year, so, how about getting off the old computer chair and getting out and do something while you have the chance. It's a whole lot easier just to sit an gripe, or you can try to do something about it. We'll look for your names on the submission list

Those train whistles were here long before most of us were born, and will be here for a long time in the future. If you talk to some of the old railroad families, you will find that each train that came into town had a very individual whistle pattern. Blowing that pattern let the wives at home know that their husband or son was in town and would be walking in the door soon. But, that was back when crews lived and worked out of here too.

reddog.. way to take a blog far off subject. Aren't comments this far off subject to removal by staff? James Quinn and David Walker have nothing to do with the President's speech. Your comments sound as though you are trying to editorialize on housing, not how a class at EHS watched a speech.

admireed- This action will be much like the smoking ordinance was in Emporia. For there to be a vote, first the proposal must be accepted by both county commissions, then there is a set amount of time in which a protest petition must be carried, gaining, I think, 5% of registered voters in the County. Chase County Commission can accept the idea, Lyon County Commission can accept the idea, If the voters in one county, lets say Lyon, get the 5% in time, there would then be a vote in that county, but only after the county commission adopts the action. In other words, we get to vote on a challenge once the proposal have been adopted. So, if both commissions accept the proposal, but one county electorate votes the thing down, it's gone.

YY4U try this http://www.ksre.k-state.edu/DesktopDefau... and read a little on what extension is. There may be better sites than this, but this is the State site.

Kujiin, You are right, there is that feeling that Lyon County is carrying the load. Chase County has only about 10% the population in this matter. There is little doubt that Chase County gets the main benefit in a reduction of the county budget. We can only hope that the Lyon County Commission will look at this carefully, and when the time comes, I am sure that they will remember that their vote must be in the best interest of Lyon County, and not the Extension District, or Chase County.
