Dandelions
Whatever, I would never touch Round Up so it doesn't matter.

Dandelions
I definitely prefer dandelions to soaking the ground with RoundUp.

Police arrest two Lawrence teenagers in connection with string of auto burglaries
So... just skip the yelling at me because I didn't lock my car and skip the yelling at me because I didn't report it to the police... I'm inexperienced at being a robbery victim and I guess I didn't do it right.
Anyway, I had some things stolen from my unlocked car last week. How can I find out if some of the items recovered are mine? They'd be easily identifiable.
Thanks

Truancy policies can catch parents by surprise
This happened to our family too, although it was about 5 years ago and in a different Kansas town. In our case my easily-distracted 6th grade son was walking to school and often arriving late. I wasn't being notified. He was considered truant because of the tardies, absences weren't the problem at all. I just got a letter out of nowhere in the mail one day that included the language "It has been decided it is in the best interest of the child to be removed from the home."
Based on nothing other than late arrivals.
That I was not notified about.
We had to go to court, and it was decided that we had to go to family counselling weekly for a year.
This is a very traumatizing process for a family. Starting with the heart attack you have at the language of the letter. I believe schools should ABSOLUTELY be required to send out warning letters before it gets to this point. The letters should clearly state the guidelines, the consequences, and how many absences/tardies your student has. It is a pretty simple concept. Much easier than putting families through the truancy process, and surely much cheaper for the state too.
By the way Tracy, I have a kid at Deerfield right now. I hope this doesn't sound creepy but I will happily take your daughter to school along with mine if you need the help.

Lawrence couple create home for poetry in tree at their home
This article says nothing about what this tree IS. All I know is there is a box involved, and some poems. Do people leave poems in the box? Do they take poems from the box? Or is it like the Poet Tree at the library, where people take paper and pencil from the box and write their own poems to hang on the tree?

Lawrence man jumps in to help police officer subdue out-of-control suspect
And there would be damage to more than just a Prius if this kid had access to a gun during his freak-out.

Brownback budget has Democrats, moderate Republicans facing dilemma
Does anyone have an idea of who will be running against Brownback next year? Or is it just assumed that he's going to win re-election?

Longtime employee Linda Lassen 1 of 2 laid off at Penn House on Friday
http://www2.ljworld.com/news/1990/jul...
"Friends and fellow employees say that Mrs. Lassen has invested so much in Penn House that being married there felt right.... Mrs. Lassen refers to Penn House as her second home, a place where she wanted to formalize her commitment to her husband. "I could have had a church wedding, but I didn't want one. I wanted to be married here in the front yard," she said."
