Sound Off 2004

Sound Off for September 2004

Thursday, September 30

I enjoy reading the high school cross country results in the Journal-World, but I was wondering why Saturday's Lawrence High placings at Topeka Seaman weren't published in Sunday's paper.

Wednesday, September 29

How do I go about signing the petition to have Judge Martin removed from the bench?

Tuesday, September 28

If somebody moves here from another state, how long do they have before they're supposed have a Kansas tag on their vehicle? And who do I call to report a violation?

Monday, September 27

When and where will the presidential debates be this year?

Sunday, September 26

When will the fall colors reach their peak?

Saturday, September 25

When does the major league baseball season come to a close?

Friday, September 24

When does the Kansas University men's basketball team have its first practice?

Thursday, September 23

I was wondering if it was legal to pull up into a turn lane and not use your turn signal.

Wednesday, September 22

When and where will the World Series be this year?

Tuesday, September 21

I want to know whether the insects making the buzzing noise outdoors are cicadas or locusts. Or are cicadas and locusts the same thing?

Monday, September 20

What is the deadline for contributing to this year's United Way campaign?

Sunday, September 19

When is KU's Homecoming?

Saturday, September 18

Isn't Topeka also celebrating its sesquicentennial this year?

Friday, September 17

How long do I have to register to vote for the November election, and can I advance vote at registration?

Thursday, September 16

In regard to Tuesday's article on health insurance, page 1B: Why is it that parents who work for the state, who are low-income and would financially meet the guidelines for HealthWave for coverage for their children, are denied the coverage because they work for the state?

Wednesday, September 15

To whom at the school district should one address comments about the Lawrence school district's start date for next year?

Tuesday, September 14

When do Free State and Lawrence high schools face off on the football field?

Monday, September 13

What is the last day to register as a voter for the November election? Also, can I get an advance ballot by mail?

Sunday, September 12

The unkempt, overgrown yards around the house on the northwest corner at Seventh and Maine streets are a hindrance to safe traffic and a blight on the neighborhood. Can't the city force the property owner to clean up the unsightly overgrowth?

Saturday, September 11

Have the police made any progress finding out who did all that red-handprint vandalism all over downtown some months ago?

Friday, September 10

Can dogs and cats get infected by West Nile virus?

Wednesday, September 8

You won't accept letters to the editor without a name and address, but you do accept them for Sound Off, and you seem to do a good job of weeding out the outrageous and libelous remarks there. If you make your Public Forum open to anonymous contributors, I can comment on public figures and institutions without fear of retribution. Is it time to rethink your policy?

Tuesday, September 7

Is KU's budget available online? And if not, why not?

Monday, September 6

I was thinking, after reading in the Journal-World about the Alf Landon home in Independence, that the mansion where he lived in Topeka was used by Kansas governors and has been sold. Will there ever be a governor's mansion in Topeka again?

Sunday, September 5

On Friday, July 23, there was an article in the Journal-World, front page, about KU receiving a $18 million grant and this was secured by Joan Hunt, senior associate dean for research, at KU Medical Center. Does she personally receive any of this grant, and what is her salary?

Saturday, September 4

I was wondering what ever happened to the Melody McKenzie who was sentenced for taking advantage of the elderly couple's finances. Is she still incarcerated?

Friday, September 3

Is it really illegal to order prescription drugs from Canada?

Thursday, September 2

I travel Kansas Highway 10 and in Douglas County on the roadsides I see lots of Canada thistles, which are noxious weeds and supposed to be controlled.

Wednesday, September 1

I was wondering whether the Board of Regents had any comments on the problem the Journal-World, Kansas Press Assn. and The Associated Press are having getting the KU chancellor and Lew Perkins to divulge Perkins' full compensation package.
