Police to aggressively enforce seat-belt laws in 2013 Click It or Ticket campaign
In California, for the first time it's $150, not $10. That's more like it. People need to have their seat belts on at all times when they are driving.

Lawhorn's Lawrence: A song from the heart on Mother's Day
This is a wonderful story for Mother's Day.
Both of my parents, however, are passed away, so I share my mother's day wishes with mothers who currently have children.
I wish, though, I could share these thoughts with other mothers who are often so much on their own. This story might play an important role for someone that neither you nor I know personally.
I was just talking tonight with a friend whose mother passed away when he was 7 years old. It is amazing how much he misses his mother, even twenty years after her death.

Editorial: Shirking state
Again an excellent editorial.
Monitoring sexually transmitted diseases is very important, because people may be affected without their even knowing about the many different diseases which can occur.
The editorial raises many important questions - which need answers - about Governor Brownback's use or non-use of government funds.
And - on a different version of the same topic - how many of these sexually-transmitted diseases are taught in school, if at all - and if so, at which grade level?

Expanded T
I agree with Speakman's plan. This is a good idea.
These events, as well as work schedules at night, need to be available for all citizens of Lawrence, not just those with cars.

Wicked Broadband project seeks $500,000 city grant; downtown hotel project seeks adjustment to incentives package; historical society seeks $20k for new exhibit
ljwhirled - thank you for your excellent comments. Lawrence needs a high speed internet badly and I, for one, appreciate what you've written here.
I am all in favor of a local ISP (Internet Service Provider). Could you give more information on the speeds so that the average person could understand it?
In a different area, If Lawrence had a local power service - which I think at one time was a possibility - much would be possible. But Lawrence, like San Francisco, didn't develop that possibility. I wonder about Baldwin City, which does have its own power service. Recently Santa Clara (in Silicon Valley) put in internet via the power lines, so that all of its residents could have the internet (and Santa Clara owns its own service). Could Baldwin City do the same? I know it wouldn't be google speed, but it would make the whole town internet ready at almost no cost, and that could be a major turning point for Baldwin City.
Also, what other cities in Kansas have their own power plants?

Bowersock officially opens $25 million power plant on the Kaw
The above questions are important and need to be answered.
And: Is the public allowed to sell electricity, from solar or wind, to Westar, like it is in many states.
Or is the Lawrence public completely left out of this picture?
How about Baldwin City, which has its own electric plant?
