- Siren call
- Sounding the county’s tornado sirens too often could lessen their usefulness.
- May 9, 2008
- With the devastation of the tornado that struck Greensburg last year still fresh in their minds, it’s not surprising that local residents have a heightened concern about tornados and tornado warnings.
- Passing the buck
- Kansas University athletic department officials have stunned the community once again with their effort to pass the buck on a $6,400 bill from the Lawrence Holidome.
- May 8, 2008
- Whatever problem the Kansas University athletic department has with a bill it received from the Lawrence Holidome, it has nothing to do with the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce or Downtown Lawrence Inc.
- End games
- The end of the Kansas Legislature’s 2008 session is even more ugly than usual.

- National Park Week focuses on the blessings that have been provided for us by visionaries who established our glorious system.
- May 5, 2008
- Almost daily, if we look around a little, we can discover or celebrate many aspects of our lives made possible by visionaries that came before us. One such entity is our glorious park system, which once again is being spotlighted by during National Park Week.
- Make a decision
- City commissioners need to be the ones deciding how the city operates.

- Duty
- Is it reasonable to train, at great cost, a football wannabe to be a recruiter for the Army?
- May 3, 2008
- Duty, honor, country. That’s the backbone philosophy for the cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. — short, definitive, clear and crisp. For decades, it has been honored.
- Long wait
- There is good reason to press efforts to bring wartime criminals to justice.
- May 2, 2008

- Poison turf
- Are there unheralded dangers to athletes from various chemicals used on sports surfacing?

- Fat chance
- Why do Americans need calorie listings to clutter up their restaurant menus?
- April 30, 2008
