KU student killed in crash on U.S. Highway 59
The new highway does not have cross streets with stop signs. They have exit and on ramps. One mile south of Lawrence would still be the old 59 Highway.

Fewer birds seen in Christmas bird count after months of drought
I have been seeing a lot more geese, ducks, owls, turkeys, and small hawks than I have seen in the last five years of driving the back roads from Ottawa to Lawrence. Of course it helps that I drive past a number of water holes.

Famous Union Pacific steam engine passes through Lawrence
Just a FYI: Per schedule at http://www.up.com/aboutup/special_tra... it looks like it will be in KCMO until Monday morning's departure about 7 am. The address is 30 W Pershing Rd, which is Union Station. Then it makes it way south through Paola and Moran KS on its way to Texas.

Wheel Genius: Road work planned this week
The N200 road is open. I drove down the frontage road from N550 to N200 yesterday to check out the new frontage road. The frontage road is paved from N550 to N200. N200 road itself is a gravel road. I was curious about the new frontage road because I often see frontage road traffic moving faster than the traffic on Highway 59. I discovered that the speed limit is 45 mph on the frontage road. Also, the new highway is more easily visible from the frontage road.

Have you ever been honored for your volunteer work?
The best honor I got was as a camp counselor was when a camper pulled me and another counselor to the front of the group and told everyone how much he appreciated us as counselors. It was a very humbling experience and a reminder of why we do what we do.

Would you be willing to increase your taxes to add more police to patrol Lawrence?
I am surpised that no one has said "Taxes are so high that it is criminal!" Or "It should be a crime to raise taxes any higher!"

Clamor erupts over teen’s tweet about Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback
sounds like his name should be changed from brownback to blackboot. definitely sends the message that it is not ok to disagree. what is going to happen to those of us who thinks blackboot is the one being disrespectful?

2 men taken to hospital after 2-vehicle accident on U.S. Highway 59
A left tun only lane would make this intersection considerably safer (when traveling south). As it is now, no one can legally pass to the right, because the right lane is a right turn only lane. Traffic traveling south comes over a hill and around a curve just before the intersection. In the mean time, slow down, have a little patience, and pay attention please! When the new 59 highway is finished, hopefully, it will make traveling between Lawrence and Ottawa a lot safer. I hope I am still alive and still employed when it is finished.
