I went through the Commercial arts program in 1999 - 2001 and it was a bit behind on the times then. I heard that not much changed after I left either. The commercial art and graphic arts fields relies heavily on technology and to not keep up with it is a good sign of a declining program. I am sad to see it get dropped because I did learn my fair share, but it might have been the right time.

You are correct Phil, tomorrow's Gazette will feature an interview with Ron Massey, the second candidate.

@ slimbolen99, your comment:
"What I would like to know, is that the Gazette reported on January 5th that an employee reported to the medical office at Tyson with blunt force injuries...and died..."

The story says nothing of "blunt force trauma injuries" its specifically says "...reported being injured while helping prepare an animal for slaughter."
I heard a rumor that he did die of blunt force trauma, but it was just a rumor, not reported as fact.

The photo of Mike and his brother Rick is possibly my all time favorite that has run in the paper.

I think during the Holiday season people need to be more open, friendly, and generous than you normally are ... and I hope that many of you agree with that.
In that light, why would you be so stubborn as to label the celebration for your own personal reasons? It is there for everyone to enjoy, not just a select few.
I imagine the vast majority of the Emporia population is Christian, but please remember that you need to be open to the other faiths, they enjoy this time of year just as much as any Christian.
In my opinion, if you are really want a Christmas celebration, enjoy your faith where is should be, in your church.
In the end though, it really does not matter. People are going to go see it no matter what the show is called.

That is a good read MrCmonkeeDo. Thank you for finding it.
I would like to hear more about the K9 training that our local law enforcement goes through. Who trains them? Where are the dogs from?
I am sure they are great dogs, I just would like to know more about them.

Also, I understand they were on the Turnpike, not I-35, but I was relating to what I see on I-35 to this situation.

I did find a site written buy a law enforcement officer and K9 handler that has some insight on your dog sniffing cash debate. Please enjoy.

The cash needs a strong contamination for a dog to smell it in the first place. I assume there is going to be some forensics tests done to the bills to determine if there is any drug residue on the bills.
It is dang near impossible to find any USEFUL and reliable information on the internet showing the con side of K9 cash sniffs (all money being tainted etc.) so if anyone finds a good link, please post it.
I see alot of the hispanic guys in duos traveling on I-35, they drive up north, buy 2 - 3 cars, drive them south and resell them. If they were doing that, then that would warrant $21,000 in cash. If they are individuals that do it, are they really going to have documentation? Doubt it. Are they out $21,000, you bet.

Did you really put a safe on top of your meter?! That is brilliant! I respect you for not accepting what they told you and breaking the rules when they needed to be broken. I hope it all turns out good for you in the end.
