The paper made a mistake. By printing this picture it basically promoted this activity. Was it supposed to look "cute"?
Of course then if someone is killed in a drunk driving accident then we will throw up our hands and say "how could this happen". After all its just kids drinking....
I wonder how the enablers above would feel if it was one of their family for friends killed. Then they would want em hung.
I have had the pleasure (several times) of going to a house in the middle of the night and informing the family that one of their loved ones were killed. Any of the able drinking proponents want to come along next time?

Isn't the Distric Court under the State now? Why is the county funding their furniture? I can understand having to furnish office space in the courthouse but when the courts when under the District Court system I understood they are state funded. Aren't the employees state employees......jb

It is interesting that grilling is often confused with BBQ. It is almost used as the same meaning when in fact grilling is cooking over hot coals and BBQ is meat that is slowly smoked in a smoker fired by wood.
In reality they are both good, but surely not the same.
If someone would offer me one or the other I would eat it.
By the way aren't there several good BBQ places in Emporia?

Especially in this economic climate I don't think this is a good way to spend the taxpayers money. With the fuel costs what they are and other costs of operation in the county I don't think you can justify the cost. A donation of $1000.00 might be considered reasonable and might spur the other agencies and buisness to donate also.
There is a lot better way to spend $10,000.00 such as helping our less fortunate, our veterans or feeding our citizens that may not have enough to eat or have health problems.

I wouold think that if he cared that much for his dogs, which he obviosly does, he wouldn't complain about having to restrain them in the bed of his truck. Children can't be in bed of a truck legally for safely reasons so why not be extra careful with the dogs. What if one of them slipped and fell out when he was in transit? He may wan't to consider this.....jb

Sounds like the officers did a fine job. From what they knew at the time and in light of finding a loaded firearm they were right to search further. I know of an incident where it was discovered persons had fired in to a home that was reported shortly after a traffic stop had been made. A intoxicated person driving recklessly with a firearm needs to be stopped.
It's easy to sit back and "monday morning quarterback" the officers but the bottom line is they took a felon acting dagerously off the streets. Sounds like good police work! jb

While employed at a "certain govt. agency" I sounded sirens in a small town to warn them of an approaching storm and most of the inhabitants came out and looked outside. Sounds like this guy is not alone...... Did someone say common sense?

There is no question that these sirens are needed. No one needs to be reminded what happened at Greensburg. If these are being put on the back burner due to cost the question to ask is, just what are our citizens live's worth? jb
