Low priority

Mr. Reynolds:

The Free State garden is funded through a grant from LiveWell Lawence, a community nutrition and physical activity initiative. Funding for the initiative came from the Kansas Health Foundation, a provate charity which receives no tax dollars.

The garden is a learning lab for students in the agriculture track of the district's career and technical education curriculum. While learning growing skills that will help them earn a living, they are providing fresh produce to the Free State cafeteria.

The community garden will be largely run by students to give them hands-on project management experience. The community garden coordinator, who will be very part time, will primarily work on fundraising and community partnerships to make the program self-sustaining.

Free State volleyball coach collects memorabilia, plans auction to fund upgrades for school's fitness equipment

Very well deserved! It is so great to see a teacher being entrepreneurial in these times of tight budgets.

Coach Hops, if LiveWell Lawrence can help in some way, let me know.

NCAA Tournament win, Gary Woodland's PGA Tour victory make it a sweet Sunday for KU athletics

And by the way, Maggie Hull hit a grand slam to lift the Jayhawks to victory over Coastal Carolina. Can't resist being a proud mom.

The Merc Deli is my favorite place to pick up food. One of my favorite packaged items is the black beans and yellow rice with tomatoes, onions and spices. I also love the butternut squash and white bean salad made with a hint of maple syrup. The hot bar has some amazing options, and I can get exactly the portion sizes I want.

The prices are competitive with other casual restaurants I go to, and the food tastes a lot better and is better for me.

LiveWell Lawrence announces plan to help residents eat better, move more

For the record, the Kansas Health Foundation is a private foundation--no tax dollars involved. Most steering committee members are from the health, wellness and community education professions.

Walkers Treading on Thin Ice

Thanks for all of the location ideas so far. Keep them coming!

I love the idea of shoveling your neighbor's sidewalk as a way to get some exercise.

On driving to a place to walk -- it's not ideal from an environmental standpoint, but is better for my health and waistline than not walking at all.

Walkers Treading on Thin Ice

Foodboy: Thanks for the ideas. Are there specific streets in Oread or OWL that are most walkable?

Beeline: Do you know for sure if Allen is open? I used to go there but heard a rumor it is no longer open to walkers.
