Two men arrested in connection with Sunday morning shooting

Almost all clubs and bars have security staff. They continue to up that staff when their is any sizable events. If you walk in and there is a cover charge, that person taking your money is security. Most places have bounces. Go to the Bottleneck on a show night, people take your ticket or money, and there are staff around the stage. To say that bars don't have security, maybe you aren't looking.

Two men arrested in connection with Sunday morning shooting

I've been wondering the same thing since I read the original story yesterday. Kansas still has 2am closing. Right?

What is your favorite Lawrence business?

Waxman, Pet World, Great Harvest (mostly because I like the owners of all three - great people).

Glove stories: Kansas University baseball players talk about their first — and current — gloves

I'm such a nerd that I related this whole article. I have a A2000 1st base mitt that I adore. And at almost 40 years old, I still have my first glove. I do adore my mizuno glove the most though. Fun article though.

What is your favorite old or historic building in Lawrence?

I like the Zimmerman house (on 3rd and Indiana) and the Blood house (on Tennessee). I know they are privately owned homes, but I don't know who they belong to. I also like the John Usher house (is a frat on Tennessee). BUT, my favorite is the Samuel Riggs house on 15th street. I always imagine in would be a great setting for old movies. All those are on the historic registry and have cool stories.

Board revises calendar for 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years

I'll honestly say I'm glad I'm not a 6th grader (or worse) a 9th grader next year. Trying to get to class with all the "big" kids on that first day will be HARD. Sixth is usually in a certain area, but dang, 9th grade trying to negotiate LHS when you know nothing, good luck kids. I know it CAN be done, but glad it's not me doing it. Hope they are lenient on the tardies that day.

Two pedestrians, including child, 3, suffer minor injuries after being struck by car on Iowa Street

I don't know where exactly this happened, but in the defense of the crosswalk: The Pisano's side of 25th and Iowa IS the 2400 block of Iowa.

Sound Off: Snow clearing

Especially this time. Our neighbor didn't shovel their walk, but by the time I got home from work Monday, it was all melted. Did they make the cutoff? Doubt it, but it's clear now!

Picking a preschool: How to find the right fit

I love the materials at a montessori. I've been working with this age group in Lawrence for 18 years now. I've been fortunate enough to meet teachers from many of the area schools and most of them are great, no matter what setting. (I really do enjoy conference and in-service training that lets the community work together). Of course everyone is in competition with each other, but all the teachers are really interested in helping the students.

MD, I'm not sure what the end of you post says. But, my kids both stayed with my parents while they were little and we worked. However, I did have them in preschool the year before they started school so they would be used to not being the one and only child. Every child learns differently. Both kids learned a lot from being in that setting. My son especially is the type of child that does better learning from a "stranger" than his family.

The most important thing I see in this article is the parents should feel comfortable with the people caring for their child.

Lawrence man charged, three juveniles arrested, in robbery of pedestrian at gunpoint

Likewise, last week there was a shooting victim life flighted out of Lawrence. I never did see a story about that. Even if it was an accidental shooting, you'd think it would be mentioned. The other night, my husband came across a car pulled over with 4 police cars behind it on his way to work. Nothing. I agree there is very little coverage. I don't need, "There was a fender bender on 6th street." But stuff about bigger things would be nice.
