When is "Late Night in the Phog"?

Friday, September 29

How can I get a copy of my birth certificate?

Thursday, September 28

It was reported that the Jefferson County dive team recovered a body from Clinton Lake ("Fisherman's body found in Clinton Lake," Sept. 21). My question is: I thought Douglas County had its own underwater recovery team. I was curious why they weren't involved or why Jefferson County's team was called in?

Wednesday, September 27

On "The Brady Bunch," what was Carol Brady's maiden name? Did her first husband die or were they divorced, and how did all of her kids end up with a last name of Brady? Did she marry a brother of her former husband?

Tuesday, September 26

Who selected the awful music soundtrack played in Memorial Stadium before the "pregame" material begins? Why isn't it possible to listen to the KU band when it begins playing on the hill instead of having to endure the loud rap and country tunes played incessantly?

Monday, September 25

Could you give us more information on updating the city laws regarding the state's concealed carry law? A recent article in the newspaper and a story on 6News made it sound like we have to change to conform to state laws regarding conceal and carry laws for firearms. Are we required to do this or can we continue to be more restrictive in Lawrence?

Sunday, September 24

I was wondering what prompted the reduction of speed in the work zone on Kasold Drive from 30 mph to 20 mph?

Saturday, September 23

What is the construction at the corner of Seventh and New Hampshire all about?

Friday, September 22

I would like to know what happened to Judge Mablean on "Divorce Court."

Thursday, September 21

I was just wondering if Scott Bales' dad is Ed Ames and if Ed Ames ever played on anything else but "Daniel Boone"?

Wednesday, September 20

I've been reading that Kansas University employees will now have the opportunity to choose between the Jayhawk and the KU logo on their business cards. But I was wondering, what about the use of the KU seal - the one with Moses with the burning bush? Is that an option that KU employees will be able to choose?

Tuesday, September 19

How many days this summer did the temperature reach or go above 100 degrees?

Monday, September 18

I was wondering if it was required for Lawrence school district cooks to wear hairnets while they are serving or preparing food, and if not, why?

Sunday, September 17

I was wondering when the police department might be having their property auction or sale to the public again. It seems like it is normally in the spring or fall and I can't find it on their Web site.

Saturday, September 16

I was just reading the article about how the food pantries are in trouble and I was just wondering if you could find out what some of the most needed items are, or the most useful items for people to donate?

Friday, September 15

How long has it been since the Lawrence substitute teachers received a raise, and will they be receiving one now that there is more money available?

Thursday, September 14

Will the city be giving out compost this year?

Wednesday, September 13

I was wondering why the gates at Memorial Stadium are not opened after the game for departure of fans, especially in the north section?

Tuesday, September 12

A couple of weeks ago, you ran a story about a male dancer on the Rock Chalk Dance Team. I've been to the two home games but haven't seen him, and I was wondering if he is still on the team.

Monday, September 11

What is planned for KU's homecoming, and when is it?

Sunday, September 10

When is Lawrence High School's homecoming?

Saturday, September 9

When will Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Jim Barnett meet for a debate?

Friday, September 8

The "100 Years Ago Today" column in the Journal-World recently mentioned "jointists." My unabridged dictionary has 27 explanations of the word "joint" but nothing about jointists. What or who were they?

Thursday, September 7

Has the Lawrence school district added any new administrative positions in the last three years? If so, what are they?

Wednesday, September 6

I was wondering, with the recent change in laws making animal cruelty a felony, what the law is about killing pests in your yard such as mice or rabbits or squirrels or rats?

Tuesday, September 5

How long does the Renaissance Festival last?

Monday, September 4

I heard there is going to be a roundabout at Grand Vista Drive and Kasold, near that church. Is that true?

Sunday, September 3

Where is the entrance to the Baker Wetlands?

Saturday, September 2

I was wondering why there is not a grocery store in North Lawrence. There are a lot of disabled over in North Lawrence that have to come clear to Sixth Street or Massachusetts Street or go clear to Checkers. Can you find out why they cannot put a grocery store in North Lawrence?

Friday, September 1

Is panhandling or begging allowed in the city of Lawrence?
