Weekday graduations get mixed reviews from parents and families
When I graduated High School in 1999 I had over 15 relatives travel from other states, some as far as California. I am sure I was not the exception. In addition, taking off a Friday or Monday to travel is mush easier than taking off three-four days mid week.

Two men arrested in connection with Sunday morning shooting
Most bars close at 2:00 because it is illegal to serve alcohol after that, however a few stay open later under the pretense that they stop serving at 2:00.

Letter: Another parade?
The St. Patrick's Day parade committee began after a conversation between friends was put into action. I think a 4th of July parade would be wonderful and there would be a ton of community support, Mr. Fisher. You get the ball rolling and I'll follow!

Fearing resigns as Southwest Middle School assistant principal
Mr. Fearing was my history teacher at West in 1994! I couldn't possibly begin to say what an important role he played in my life. He is an amazing role model, advocate and educator. The Lawrence School District and Lawrence youth will surely miss him. I wish him the very best and I thank him for his service to the community. - Nichole Weatherwax-Feurt

Some restaurants charging for tables during tournament
Buffalo Wild Wings lost my business years ago as well. They have horrible food, and even worse customer service. It was 9:00am St. Patrick's Day morning. My grandfathers band was playing there for the St. Pat's committee breakfast which was to last from 8-9. Most of the band members are in their late 80's. While packing up to leave, the staff was extremely rude to them and made comments about how they were expected to be out by 9am. I had just arrived to assist them and was stopped at the door and told that "the breakfast was over". I could understand if the band was loitering or causing a loss in business or even if the restaurant was closing but that was just not the case. I will never go back!

Letter: Tougher law
Well that would be a result of our crap medical system not the result of whether someone wore their seat belt :)

Letter: Tougher law
Why would you assume that because someone doesn't wear a seat belt that you would be paying their medical bill? Most medical bills following an accident are payed by medical or car insurance. Insurance that is normally purchased by the car owner or the patient. Even without insurance most people are responsible for their own bills. Not wearing a seat belt is a personal choice, similar to smoking, drinking, eating fast food etc. It may not be smart or safe but it's not a crime.
