Should the sign really read "Home of Clint Bowyer"?
He doesn't live here anymore. He has chosen to buy houses in other states. Perhaps they sign should read "Boyhood home of Clint Bowyer".
At least William Allen White lived his whole life in Emporia.

It has already been a long depressing season. If they can't win games the season will be over quickly.

The bottom line is teachers are paid well compared to other professions. Plus they get summers off. With the unions I don't think teachers have any room to complain.

Are people forgetting all the other Emporian's doing things in professional sports and don't they deserve signs?
Jason Lahr - Professional Rodeo
J.L Lewis - Professional Golfer
Gary Stinett - NHRA
Former Professionals
Terry Bivins - Nascar Driver who raced against the legends
(I can't believe Nascar fans don't want to honor Terry)
John Lohmeyer - Professional Football player
Bob Clements - Professional Football player
Larry Krammer - Professional Football player
We have many professionals and they are all worthy of recognition. Why single one person out.
WE NEED TO REMEMBER Clint doesn't live here any more. He has moved on and calls NORTH CAROLINA home now.

I am sorry about the family that lost a loved one. But to make a state law the issues needs to impact a tremendous amount of people in the state. 200 people a year is not enough to warrent a new law.
As the article says during the home selling process people are educated about radon and have the option of getting a test done.
It should be a buyer issue not mandate by the state. The government needs to keep out.

Here was the original story - I think
New passion for change
By Chris Walker (Contact)
Wednesday, January 9, 2008
THE 2008 ELECTION season is building momentum, with presidential candidates on the campaign trail and taking part in debates.
Watching the debates, it is entertaining to see how the candidates are able to talk for endless minutes on a topic without really saying anything at all.
In the coming months, voters should not to be wooed by nice sounding clichés but should try to listen for details of the candidates’ plans.
The latest buzz word is “change,” and all the candidates are trying to sell themselves as bringers of change.
If you look back in history, presidential candidates promising change is nothing new.
Historically, politicians have talked about bringing change to improve health care, reduce energy independence, cut taxes and raise the working class. Sound familiar?
It is too bad that politicians promise big changes, but in the end, nothing really changes.
Even though the candidates are slinging slogans and making promises that won’t be fulfilled, I suppose the best part of this process is that the candidates are accessible and listening to people.
It is just too bad that accessibility does not continue after a candidate is selected.
Perhaps that is one a change that a president really could make happen.

Where did those signs "We are an inclusive community come from"?
Did the city commission approve them?
And did tax payer money buy them?
Did Zimmerman bring those from Chicago?
Anyone who has lived here for a while knows that we are anything but inclusive.
