Knology changes its name to WOW!; lifts usage caps on Internet service
Wicked ownership is asking for half a million dollars from the city. Doesn't the owner already owe the city six figures? Sounds like exactly who I want to get my tax dollars.

Proposed policy would give KU faculty post-tenure reviews every seven years
It is a fact that there are poor-performing teaching faculty that are protected by their tenure. I remember a teacher who was quit literally in early dementia and should have been retired, but she was protected by her tenure. This was years ago. She is still teaching.

Amyx, Farmer, Riordan win election to Lawrence City Commission
She was the only one I noticed. Sorry. I'm not on here every day. I don't know why I found it odd; I just did.

Amyx, Farmer, Riordan win election to Lawrence City Commission
I thought her making comments here on the LJW site and then plugging her campaign was a little odd and unprofessional. It rung for me to be a sign that she didn't know what was appropriate.

Nursery business files plans to open farmers' market in West Lawrence
I think it will be nice to have a farmer's market in the West side of town. It will be more convenient for some, and I actually know some Westsiders who think it is unsafe to go downtown, even during the day. I think it's humorous, but alas that is how they feel. I hope the prices are not higher, especially since that particular greenhouse seems to have some of the highest prices around. As far as a pavilion, it would be interesting to look into but I doubt will happen soon. What about using junior high or high school parking lots?

Farmers' Market seeking new location for weekday market, dropping Thursday market
I think South Park wouldn't work because vehicles need to be able to drive in; the grass would be torn up, curbs would crumble. I think it would be really cool if a couple of blocks on Mass were blocked off. It would bring foot traffic to the doorsteps of many businesses.

More snow on the way tonight; Lawrence schools, KU, others closed Friday
The juncos are abandoning searching the ground and are using the feeders. Anarchy!

Statehouse Live: Budget subcommittee cuts KU Med Center proposal, recommends audit of KU
Gah! The building they are trying to replace is too small, lacks proper facilities, is technologically ancient, and is just plain gross and dirty. They have tried to maintain it, but everything needs to be gutted, but that would be silly because the space is too small anyway. Do these Western KS politicians want KU to train their doctors or not?
Then they quibble about not letting guns on campus and complain we are educating the children of immigrants, and they try to stuff money into the pockets of Western KS schools instead.
These rural politicians act like resentful children.
THIS. THIS is attitude that drives doctors and everyone else with any sense away from rural districts. The oft unspoken truth is that rural towns want people to move there, but those people had better be the same Christian denomination, skin color, and be ideologically identical to their neighbors, or they will make no friends.

City now strongly considering adding glass to proposed curbside recycling program
We too use more glass and fewer cans to avoid the plastic lining. It really does add up in a household with more than a person or two.
To the people who recycle now by taking it in yourself and are angry that they will have to pay now, I'd suggest as responsible, concerned people perhaps you would see the benefit to the environment if recycling were made universal in Lawrence. I know it will be a pain to pay a fee and keep a cart, but this effort will prevent a huge amount of trash and pollution. It is of course a personal sacrifice, but it has great rewards.
