Of soccer moms and birthday cakes

Amen! When you become parents, your priorities change! I know my world certainly revolves around my children, be it athletic events, help with homework, taking a carload of kids to the movies or wherever. I wouldn't have it any other way!

ESU, KU at odds over proposed program at Johnson County Community College

Stay strong ESU! We have one of the top (if not THE top) elementary education programs in the country! KU needs to quit whining - they don't own the state of Kansas! Good grief!

Driving Dilemma

Re: the classes at Lebo...No, you don't have to live in the district to sign up. If there's room in the class, they will allow out of district students as well.

Lebo settles for second place at 2A volleyball tourney

Maybe it was just me, but the title to this article has a negative feel to it. While I realize reporting on a team that took 2nd place is not quite as fun as reporting on one that takes 1st, maybe a more appropriate title would be "Lebo Takes 2nd Place at 2A Volleyball Tourney". I don't think any team "settles" for anything when it comes to sports. I know this team certainly doesn't! This group of girls had a tremendous season and worked hard to get to the state tournament. I know they were heartbroken when they didn't win the title match, but do you know what they are talking about now? They're talking about how much they love their team and the fun times they had together playing volleyball. They are proud of themselves & their parents, coaches and fans are proud as well. Great job at state Lebo Lady Wolves!!! We are all proud of you!

Recount request filed for smoking ban question

Amen, livinglife! When I saw the front page of the Gazette's weekend edition, I said the same thing to my husband. And, you hit the nail on the head, our sidewalks will be even more littered w/cigarette butts now - lovely, huh? p.s. I am not a smoker & if I lived in Emporia, I would have voted NO!

Too much government

The majority of people commenting on the smoking ban stories have seen & read the proposal. For those that haven't, it is posted on kvoe.com, click on the News link. However, if you read the proposal, please make sure you also read the document that spells out provisions that Clean Air Emporia will not agree to. Anyone who reads this can immediately tell they don't want smoking allowed anywhere & if they had their way, I'm sure they would make smoking illegal all together! (and, in case anyone is wondering,,,,,,I am NOT a smoker. I'm an American who believes in the freedom of choice & the rights of business owners)

Because you asked

KC - that explanation seems fitting when the price of oil is going down & gas should be going down. However, am I the only one who sees the local stations increasing their prices the same day or morning after the price of oil goes up? Do the tanks magically go empty the same day the price of oil goes up?:) I realize the station owners really don't clear much on a gallon of gas. And, I realize they are in the business to make money, but it would be nice if that cause & effect worked both ways!!

Full House

It's nice to know there are other parents out there who ask their children to help out around the house & give them chores. I know there are plenty of parents that do this, but according to my kids, "they are the ONLY ones who have to help at home"... I just tell them how lucky they are that they are learning life skills they'll be able to use when they get out on their own (I lchuckle ---- they don't)!! I don't fill their summer days with chores. In fact, they don't even have chores every day of the week; however, as a mom, it is nice to be able to either sort some laundry before I leave for work, or throw a load in, and come home to laundry that is done, folded & put away! I believe teaching kids to take some responsibility around the house as well as skills they'll definitely need later in life is a good thing! Speaking of cooking...my kids like to cook as well (simple things, but still, they're cooking it) and my youngest loves FFY (Fin For Yourself) nights at our house!! I don't intend to change and know that somewhere down the road, I will be watching as my kids give their kids chores and household responsibilities!
