Former Jayhawk Michael Lee looking for work
Does HCBS have a spot open; a good recruiter on the left coast would seem to be very beneficial

City and county awarded historic preservation grants, but money is being delayed
Shame on Lawrence; should have restored the entrance benches and lights at Breezedale at South side (SW and SE corners) of 23rd. Street and Mass. years ago. Same condition I remember as a kid 50 years ago. They spend lost of dinero each year maintaining the flower beds on the NE and NW corners of that intersection each year

Garden Calendar: Strawberry growers use innovative methods for earlier crop
If you want to see how strawberries are grown in innovative ways, visit California. Everywhere else I've seen them grown (including around here) strawberries are grown as a perennial crop with a field dedicated year-round to the crop. In California, the huge winter strawberry production is produced in fields temporarily dedicated to them; this week strawberries, next week plowed up and planted to lettuce, or whatever else. The farm land is too valuable for tying up with one crop when you can get 5 or 6 different ones during the year. I know it's weather related, and all the smash about agriculture in California, and the berries are inferior, but the innovation is great. In a recent trip to Oregon, the Ag folks were boasting about the Oregon strawberry crop, not for the berries but for the huge amount of plants that are shipped for the California operation. Different stokes for different folks! The local berries are very good; years ago North Lawrence had several pick-your-owns, but my understanding is that the pick crowd were so destructive to the plantings that the growers abandoned the idea. Best of luck!!

Police cite 27 motorists in Monday night seat-belt enforcement
I wear a seatbelt all the time. but cannot figure out how somebody would be caught not wearing one, even if the did not routinely do so. If you were not doing so and the cops stopped you, don't think you would quickly buckle up and avoid the ticket. Not like dumping a 6-pack or trying to explain away a moving traffic violation.

Lawrence ranked second-worst-performing small metro area, according to new national economic index
City burdened by a lousy form of City Government; ,how antiquated. Need a Strong Mayor form with some more direct responsibility to the electorate. Current City Manager is a joke, continuous promotions foisted on the citizenry by a bunch of elected pretenders wit little qualifications!

After all of these years of this City self-promoting itself in any kind of ranking that might give it some importance; the Big Chicken comes home to roost. Enough beating Columbia, Manhattan, Ames, Lincoln and every other Big 12 (former included) into this self delusion. No more "City of The Arts", "Art of the City" and whatever else the DLI, Chamber and City can blow, Lawrence has some serious issues than an ostrich with it's head in the sand cannot detect.
