City lays off one employee in Planning Department; creates new position of Small Business Facilitator
I think Scott McCullough, Sheila Stogsdill and all of the planners I know do a great job that is very difficult. This community has a vast array of opinions on everything imaginable. The city political landscape changes constantly, yet Scott and Sheila somehow manage to adapt and maintain very high standards. It's easy to take shots at the planning department, but I think they do a fabulous job.

Legislation seeks to block federal gun laws on Kansas firearms
This has to be a joke. Why is our Secretary of State wasting our time and money with this? Kris Kobach is an embarrasment. His never ending self promotion has no boundaries.

Amyx asks City Commission to weigh recreation center against other city priorities, projects
Nobody knows what the "deal" is with Thomas Fritzell's Bliss Sports, LC. Not the Commissioners. Not the public. Until those questions are answered, how can they possibly consider approving this project?

Do you drink Kansas wine?
Kansas wineries are producing some excellent wines, with selections of dry, medium or sweet to fit anyone's taste. I know that BlueJacket Crossing Winery, Davenport's Winery, Kugler's Winery, Holyfield Winery and Sommerset Ridge Winery all make wonerful wines from Kansas grapes, in most cases from grapes grown in vineyards planted on their property (estate grown). If you want a nice fruity, dry red wine, try a Kansas Norton (a/k/a Cynthiana), or a Chambourcin as an alternative to another boring Merlot. Instead of a Chardonnay, try a Kansas Tramminette or a Seyval. Of course the quality of Kansas wines varies, but that's part of the fun of visiting wineries - to see whether you like their wines. Samples are free and there are some outstanding, award winning wines to sample. You would be surprised at how well Kansas wines have done in various wine competitions all over the country. Kansas is actually perflectly suited to growing grapes and I'm impressed with some of the wines I've tasted.

LHS football has chances, but falls to Vikes
I appreciate the efforts of the players, but when is LHS going to wake up and get rid of Wedd? Year after year it's the same thing. Predictable, conservative play calling. Worst weight training program around - just ask the orthopedic docs who treat all the injuries. They'll tell you that LHS has many times the number of injuries suffered by Free State players. Fewer and fewer kids want to play for Wedd. I just don't understand why LHS doesn't make a change. I'm an LHS alum and I care about the program. Time for a new coach.

Residents get feet wet in grape-stomping
Many of those who post comments critical of Kansas wineries have never been to a Kansas winery or tried their wines. The quality of wine made in Kansas has improved to the point where Kansas wines are winning national awards. Obviously, the quality varies, but so does the quality of wines produced in California and other states. That's part of what makes it fun to visit the wineries. The Norton (Cynthiana) is the same grape grown in Missouri and other midwestern states. It makes a wonderful red wine. The Seyval grape makes a terrific white wine, very drinkable. BlueJacket Crossing makes award winning, excellent wines with enough varieties that there is something for every taste. Give them a try!
