Sound Off: We are on the no-call list, and we get calls from “card member services.” How can we get
They use a different number each time they call. I get them from numbers in Oregon, Wasington, Virginia and one time from Canada, but it's always the same voice" Hi, this is Susie with card holder services". That's all of the message I hear because I end the call.

Tree tragedy
They placed their bucket over my neighbor's fence and chopped off at least 1/2 tree. She was furious when she got home. Don't be fooled into thinking your property is protected.

Tree tragedy
Thank goodness I was home when they came by marking trees. Apparently the old wooden posts holding up my fence and honeysuckle were determined to be "Threats" and now have lovely orange spray paint marking them from the inside of my yard. They also tried to remove metal posts we installed to keep students from bending down our fence as a shortcut. Bright bunch you hired there Westar.

Most smart meters expected to be installed by year’s end in Lawrence
When you call to get the meter installed, they give you so little information, it's made to sound like a great idea. Not only was my bill higher than I'd seen during a summer month, the cycling events are poorly explained. Westar takes over your service and has the right to turn your service on and off for 15 minute increments for up to 4 hours at a time. You may opt out of the program twice a month, but be guranteed any day over 100 degrees is a cycling day. My house reached 86 degrees on the last event. As an asthma sufferer, we left the house util the cycle ended. Once home, we had to turn the temp way down to cool our house down enough to sleep. The program is ill explained and applicants poorly screened. Questions regarding health conditions and the elderly should be mandatory. We still received notices of cycling events long after we had this removed. Obviously, they are not well tracked and a waste of more money Westar so desperately needed for their program by yet again raising our rates.

Two women treated at LMH after accident at McDonald Drive and Princeton Boulevard
My sister, a registered nurse on the way home from her shift stopped to render aid before emergency personnel arrived, so she may have been one of the many responders you saw "standing around", which is part of her oath as an RN. You should be so lucky to have plenty of people to respond, paid or not. Had there been serious injuries, would you be so critical?

What is your favorite kind of dog?

Lawrence Farmers' Market seeking community input on whether to ban live animals
How sad is it a community has to legislate to the lowest common denominator? It's never "my" dog that is the problem.. It's not "my" child running up pulling on the dog that could cause a bite due to lack of supervision. What's next? Dress codes so I don't see people in their pj's at the grocery store? So sad to see so many don't understand.

Sanitation leader retires before audit release
Working in Kansas City, I see the trash fly out of the back of Deffenbaugh trucks over the highways daily. Friends repeatedly talk about failed pick-ups and have to schedule special pick-ups for anything outside of their regular bags or bins. Then, the neighborhood association receives complaints about the trash sitting by the street when the special pick-up is never done. Appreciate what you have Lawrence and thank Bob for many years of wonderful service, and for putting up with the job.
