Sound Off for September 2005

Friday, September 30

Whom do I call to get speed bumps on a city street?

Thursday, September 29

I was wondering how many members there are in the Kansas University marching band this year. It looks extremely small. Do they receive any stipend to help pay their expenses for all the practicing they do and that sort of thing?

Wednesday, September 28

How can I find information concerning a vendor at the recent Fall Arts and Crafts Festival at South Park? I found a beautiful piece of furniture and I want to get more from this couple, but I only remember their last name and have no other way of contacting them.

Tuesday, September 27

The Kansas City Chiefs failed in their latest attempt to open a regular season with a 3-0 record, thanks to a 30-10 defeat at Denver on Monday night. When was the last time the Chiefs kicked off a season at 3-0?

Monday, September 26

What is Kansas University's enrollment for this fall, and how did it compare to other universities in the state?

Sunday, September 25

Whatever happened to Waves of Relief and its attempt to help victims of the tsunami in Thailand?

Saturday, September 24

How much is the state sales tax in Kansas, and how much has it gone up in recent years?

Friday, September 23

Has Hurricane Rita affected any Kansas University athletic events?

Thursday, September 22

Can you tell me if there are any laws or ordinances about people cleaning up after their dogs in other people's yards and if there is any recourse if somebody continually does it?

Wednesday, September 21

Who gave someone permission to take down the trees in front of the old Midwest Graphics building at Eighth and New Hampshire? Did they need to get the city's permission to do that? Do they own the trees? Or, was it the city that took them down? I'd like to know why they were taken down and if they will be replaced.

Tuesday, September 20

I would like to know what happens when high school students show up at their school dances drunk or high.

Monday, September 19

Friday, September 16

Why isn't Hashinger Hall open at Kansas University this fall?

Thursday, September 15

Whom do you contact about trees hanging over the sidewalk along Bob Billings Parkway west of Monterey Way? There are huge limbs so that you actually have to walk out in the street, which is probably not the safest thing to do.

Wednesday, September 14

Between Bob Billings Parkway and Inverness on Wakarusa on the east side, there are two signs warning drivers that a stop sign is coming up on Inverness. Since they have been there for about a year, wouldn't it be time to take those warning signs down? They really are visually offensive. I'm sure everyone who travels that street has seen them so many times they are oblivious to them, and we could make what is a pretty street even prettier if those signs came down. Can that happen?

Tuesday, September 13

In reading the ad in the paper about junior high after-school programs, I noticed that Central, South and West junior highs are participating. Is Southwest Junior High not participating in this and, if so, why did they choose not to participate?

Monday, September 12

I'm interested in the fact that Brandon Rush attended four different high schools and wondered what information you might have on that.

Sunday, September 11

I've heard Sunflower Cablevision weather people refer to dew point. What is that and how does it differ from humidity?

Saturday, September 10

I was wondering if the First Family Church is being charged to use Lawrence High School for their church on Sundays?

Friday, September 9

When is Kansas University's homecoming game this year?

Thursday, September 8

How much has state spending grown over the years?

Wednesday, September 7

Why hasn't the Journal-World reported Kansas University's fall enrollment figures?

Tuesday, September 6

Is it illegal to drink alcohol in Lawrence city parks?

Monday, September 5

Does Lawrence have a city flag? If so, where can I buy one?

Sunday, September 4

Who's doing the shoulder work on Wellman Road, and how long will it take for them to complete it?

Saturday, September 3

How large is the state budget and how much is spent on education?

Friday, September 2

How much does Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and other top state officials make?
