Update: Emporians Lose Electricity
An orange squirrel? I just finished being amazed at that purple one you told us about, now an orange one? I'm afraid these little marauding tree rats have begun to form some kind of rainbow coalition.

Update: Emporians Lose Electricity
I wish I had seen this post earlier today, but it's after 5 already. Anyway, the animal control and the shelter is the Chief of Police, Gary Smith's concern. He is in charge of that. Call him and you will get something done. If you just call the city, rarely if anything will get done.

I'd sure like to get an official story on that carpet. If it is true that they wasted all that carpet, heads should roll, big time.
Good chance for an investigative report, Chris.

City moves closer to Starting property enforcement program
"The commission wants to make a policy on how it appoints members to boards. Nelson said he suggested two terms of three years each for board members, but can reapply after a year away from the board to allow for new members"
Nelson has harped on this before. Newsflash, Nelson, people are not volunteering for boards. Those who do volunteer suddenly find themselves hard pressed to attend meetings regularly and the board is stuck without a quorum. Stop already!
Nelson must have some kind of vested interest in all this. Or is he trying to get rid of someone currently on a board? If he wants to serve on a board, go already. Volunteer. Or is that the problem with people not showing up for duty?

The facts
Great idea, Steve. What a strategy.

Incentive to Work
I heard from Senator Moran's office in Washington today. By phone would you believe. Anyway, the young man explained to me that Senator Moran does not agree with this proposal by the KS Dept. of Ag; however, a senator cannot do anything about it at this point since this is between Homeland Security and Janet Napolitano's office.
We will have to keep an eye on all this. It was a very nice young man and yes, I was quite shocked to see the caller I.D. that read, "Washington, D.C."

Emporia Living Magazine shows off Emporia
Yes indeed, a very nice job. A pleasure to read.
Malique, bending down to pick up litter is good exercise.

What does Extension do?
If agents are already committed to helping each other locally and across the country, then an extension district is not only unnecessary, it is redundant.

What does Extension do?
"BTW...Gordon sent this information about the classes she teaches in nutrition: "We provide nutrition education to 119 classrooms in preK-4th grade in the public schools in Lyon County. On average we are in 57 classrooms each month."
Thank you for the clarification. The article said nothing about preK-4th grade. Instead it stated that the FACS representative administered nutrition programs. This led me to believe that FACS classrooms were involved. Little by little, those FACS programs in the public schools are quickly disappearing all because of budget cuts.
I am now interested in how much it costs to bring this nutrition program to the classrooms. Does the current budget cover these costs? With regard to record keeping by teachers, what category does this nutrition lecture fit? Science?
