Scam exploits family ties
I really hate this type of scam..Me being a Bail Agent,it does reflect on me..Sometimes, more often than not,,we are an inmates only contact to family members and friends, however,I do agree not to rush into anything,,,and I always give the family member a number to the perspective jail so they can call and confirm the incarceration of the subject.I do make the courtesy calls for the inmate,and i have never tried to pursuade anybody ,I just give them the information that we were provided and then they decide if they want to help..

Identity of man killed in Saturday fire released
this is a really sad, sad ending for this man who was struggling with his own demons...my husband and i had the privelage of getting to know this man at the worst time of his life..lewis told us he had left Wichita because he kept getting robbed and beaten up when he would get his disability check,he said the last time he was assaulted,he left wichita and just drove until he found a small town he could call home and be comfortable in..that town was Emporia..We would help him through his first month here by assisting him to find affordable housing and we went through our things to help him with his neccesities..and bought him food..we introduced him to the abundant harvest kitchen and the food pantry at the Salvation Army..my husband took him to SRS to apply for Food Stamps..my husband took him to the bank this past tuesday to get his rent money, only to find out that he was already overdrawn by overdraft fees and bank fees..he was a greatful man and was always so thankful for the help he could never sing enough praise...i am sorry though that we did not get any info on his family..he never talked about any...i hope someone,knows who they are...May He rest in peace..and move on to a better place..

Developers, neighbors disagree on zoning proposal
personally i would like to see this come to emporia...but it is not going in my neighborhood so who am i to ask for it..i think Emporia needs this here..i dont know about alot of folk but i get really tired of going to walmart and having this will certainly provide much more variety.and i i wont have to go out of town to shop for those specialty items ...i would hope that the small business owners could stay afloat,,as we still have the "good ol boy" commitment her in emporia...either way,i'm good
