hellfirebluefish, I am a non-smoker. I agree that you or I should not have to be breathe second-hand smoke. Nobody should be forced to do so. That is called a "CHOICE". If you don't want to breathe it, then don't go in. I have friends who don't drink...and guess what...they don't go to bars.

This is in response to off_grl76. Why would you take your young asmatic daughter to a place that allows smoking? You have that choice, you know. Just like the business owners. The "Clean Air" group keeps talking about banning smoking in public places, but their real objective seems to ban smoking in the private sector. But here's what I've observed as the pin-ultimate of hypocrisy: I've seen the "Clean Air" group, a subsidiary of EDA, preach to Emporians about the dangers of drug use, while they sip on coffee and allow their kids to drink soda. Caffeine is a powerfull drug that not only changes the way you feel and act, but is also very addictive. And it too has health risks, just do some research.

I'm a bit confused by your comment, garfield. Peggy Mast is not running againts Kitty Frank. Peggy is running against Tony Trimble in the primary.

Amen! This is a sad day for the University and the community. May God Bless the families of these three young ladies.

One of Emporia's "problems" is its proximity to Topeka, Wichita, and Kansas City. I've heard many out-of-towners comment on Emporia's lack of shopping choices, and that is an image locals have accepted, so they immediately drive elsewhere to do their shopping.

I applaud Gore for raising awareness of global warming, but I haven't witnessed him or anyone else changing their lifestyle to combat the situation. Practice what you preach, Al Gore. He relentlessly travels on planes and cars; both major sources of our planet's toxins that he so vehemently oposes. It all starts with everyone doing their part. No exclusions.

All good comments. Please let me add to this. Regarding clothing, avoid cotton. Cotton kills! It holds moisture next to the skin, which speeds the hypothermia process. Dress in layers that keeps moisture away from the skin and provides warmth.
Synthetic or wool socks
Nylon or silk boxers
Long underwear with top and bottom made of polyester, lycra, nylon and or silk blends
Fleece or wool pants/shirts
Gore-tex or water resistant outer shell that is breathable
Wool or fleece hats
Fleece or wool gloves with non-cotton liners
Neck gaiter or balaclava
Always remember in cold weather, keep your skin dry and warm and stay hydrated. Happy Holidays and stay warm!
