Lawhorn's Lawrence: Social Service League Thrift Store serves as city's hidden gift shop
I have never even heard of this place! Seems like a brilliant idea to donate your stuff to them vs. Goodwill where the CEO's make 100k a yr.

Famous Union Pacific steam engine passes through Lawrence
I had no idea this was coming thru. Living 1 block away from the tracks, and having the windows open, the whistle scared the heck out of me!! Looked out the window and could sure see the steam. Much different sound than the regular train that we have grown used to, but alas is still annoying.

Another five mobile homes at the Riverview Trailer Park declared unfit to live in
I could be wrong, but wasn't there talk at one time of building something in that location? Like a retail mall or another motel that could overlook that nice dirty river?

Update to labor laws could prevent youths from doing certain tasks
that just breaks my heart for him....waaa. Thats one of the problems of the youth these days. They get babied, and for the most part are lazy. Lets not forget that this kid had a roof over his head and food to eat, provided by his parents, most likely from the income of that farm that he was "forced" to work on.

Sheriff's office warns about bail bond scam
IF my kids were in jail, they already know that they would be staying there. This mother will not bail them out. If they didn't use their common sense and know right from wrong, then that little jail time will help them to figure it out.

Wal-Mart and Dillons Make Changes to Their Coupon Policies
Didn't Dillons have a program that if you bought two 50.00 gift cards you got extra fuel points? I seem to remember something about that, but I finally got around to doing that this weekend, spend 60 some on groceries and only ended up with 48 fuel points. Not sure what I did wrong.

The Kindest Act
This is not my greatest act of kindness but I was downtown on Mass and came across one of the homeless guys selling their monthy newsletters. I was interested, and bought one, after a few min of talking with the fellow, I felt the biggest desire to give the guy a hug. It just came to me, and I felt guided to do so. I asked him if I could hug him...I don't know if it made him feel any better, but the feeling I got has lasted for years. Hugs can do wonders. And yes, he was clean cut and shaven, but I think that even if he was not, I would have felt the need to hug him.

U.S. Dept. of Education names Lawrence's Woodlawn as one of five Blue Ribbon Schools in Kansas
Woodlawn was a great school for my son! We loved it. His teachers were top notch and very caring. Yes, they were a little demading at times, and lost homework earned you "riverhawk" after school, but these kids are taught not only their "school lessons" but also responsibility and self worth. Because of the teachers at Woodlawn, my son was selected for the Duke University talent program. He earned a 99 on his MAP tests and in a few months will be taking the ACT's or SAT's given to the HS students. Quite the accomplishment for my 7th grader!! I don't mean to sound like I am bragging, I am just so proud of him, and the teachers that helped him get there!!
Thanks Woodlawn!!!
