Committee: Close both Lowthers

Why not use those buildings for new housing like they did with the old hospital? Another article posted today said someone wanted to build more housing, let's just put to use what we already have?

Fits the crime

We also had "secret" dumpers that were too dumb to realized personal info was in the trash. I loved watching them slogging through the weeds, mud and muck as they had to pick up their trash in front of everyone driving by.

Bullying on board agenda Wednesday

Our children were bullied more in one of the "outer" country schools than they ever were when we moved them to Emporia. Bullying policies really need to start at home. Children learn these behaviors by watching and emulating the adults that raise them.

Teachers reach tentative agreement

I have been a teacher in the Emporia school district for 16 years, and I have yet to get paid $50,000 a year. I also had a total of 2 weeks off during the summer.

Smoking ban passes

"the process under the ordinance is that citizens can call 911 to report illegal smoking, then fire and police units would be dispatched to respond."

Ludicrous! I pray that none of my family or friends is truly in need of emergency services in this town! Apparently a heart attack or stroke victim's call will be considered equal in need to a smoker protesting this ridiculous plan and breaking the law just to prove a point. I am a non-smoker and I would love to sign a petition to change this decision. Using our already overworked emergency system to monitor smokers is the worst idea I have ever heard!

Arndt's family sues Theron Thomas Kent

Dear Arndt Family,

I support this move wholeheartedly. Your son's loss has deeply affected this community, including my daughter and son-in-law. They miss him and talk about about him almost daily. Your family has demonstrated how to be strong in the face of such a tragedy. I believe the people of this community will continue to support you through this time.

Drive-by poachers still putting people at risk in Lyon County

UNBELIEVABLE!! The loss of Beau has been difficult for many. These instances just bring back the pain all over again.
