Final election results

The reason it was so close was the laws on the books were fine,but oh no ,the special few always get what they want. I did a count the other night in the Fiest book and we counted 60 non smoking restaurant/bars and 8 where you could smoke,I dont think this shouldve ever gotten this far,time and money spent that mightve been better spent elsewhere. I do know of a couple of restaraunt/bar owners who will not be very happy.I had to chuckle about this the other night,my wife who is age 52 and has never smoked in her life said if this ban was upheld,she would go to her business and take up smoking Ha Ha,I really did think this was funny!!!I I know she wont do it but it made her feel better

Neighbors: Sprayed Yard a ‘Toxic Dump’County is asked to help

well since nobody has the balls to respond to the last bit of rederick,all I can say this is such complete bulls**t. this used to be a good neighborhood,as I have enjoyed knowing both parties,BUT!!!!,there are so many untrue facts,just drive by and look at your yard John and Kathi and look at the wilting plants and trees at your neighbors,either side or across the alley way and you friggin know what you have done. I do not give a rats f *****n ass what the lazy ass epa rep told ya or the dept of ag said,ya know it is screwed up,all you have to do is look outside. I have no idea why these neighbors are fighting the way they are. I have enjoyed Larrys produce and i have enjoyed Kathis cooking at the Sale barn but I am so sick of the bull***t that has been going on around town(Somalians,illegal immigration,Tyson ie associated with the 2 prior,higher than hell taxes, the mex kids stealing a car and killing animals at the zoo,which I heard today,there is info at Thunderbird Estates about some pets which mysteriosly died,oh gee,I guess that did not make it to the paper ,no community pride,I would like to put this town in my rear view mirror,I do not see anything improving here in any part of a near future. You would be amazed at the impressions the people from neighboring communities,small and large,what they think about pissporia,oops,emporia.Life long reident that is VERY disheartened

Neighbors: Sprayed Yard a ‘Toxic Dump’County is asked to help

what other neighbor?? did Larry run off?? and how??. Ive know Larry for 35 plus years and I have a hard time believing this side of him.Really does not matter to me at this time,the issue is the toxic chemicals that have been improperly used and that caused the damage to the properties and especially the food that is being grown.Let me rephrase about the damage to the food,how about the POISONING of the food. There has been so much hoopla about salmonella this summer and officials have worked and worked to find a source to the contamination and here we have a party who has intenionally and purposely poisoned his crop and here is Emporia setting on their hands and not doing a damn thing,like the earlier post about directions on the herbicide that says "in violation of Federal Law" to not use this product properly.WELL ???? what the heck happened here???. MR. Torrens,maybe in your capacity of director in your job with Lyon County,maybe you should make some calls to other entities common to yours and see if there is any help available for Mr Hayes. I commend Larry for his patience and fortitude to use the legal channels,I dont know if all citizens would be so patient,especially since everyone he has contacted has said"eeets not my yob maan". This is BS

Kendra78,you are completely off base,I live fairly close to both parties and know the famalies involved very well and this is a very bad deal.Criminal damage laws should definetly be applied.It was intentional and destructive!!! And a damn shame when neighbors cant get along in our neighborhood but this is criminal.Think about it.If your neighbor did this to you,what would you do??What if you ate some of Larrys tomatoes,or better yet,your kid or mom or dad ate some of these tomatoes from some of the cancerous plants that I have seen and they got really sick,what would you do?? I hope our local leaders are able to fix this before it gets picked up by national news service and the national news will really make us look like bumpkins if we cant fix a problem like this,Good Luck to us all !!

Juveniles arrested in zoo killings

why would the names have been removed from this website??Judging by the names I saw elsewhere,too bad their famlies didnt get caught in the Tyson layoff and they couldve been some other towns problem.We are NOT going to fix society until we fix our problems here at home(Emporia) and the hard matter of fact,IBP/Tyson has cost our community FAR more than it has contributed back to our town.Things are getting better around here but we have a long way to go.Tyson still up to theis same old **** **** biz!! My friend who worked there for 30 plus years got laid off but recently got called back,went from 1st shift to graveyard shift and cut wage by $1.50 ph.Back in the 70s when IBP pulled that bs wage cutting is when Emporia should have never gave them any help whatsoever.Get rid of Tyson completely and I bet most problems will cease such as stealing car and killing geese,but some lawyers and court service programs will probably get cut cos they wont have as many scimbags to represent
