I will be the first to admit that I had, and still have, a lot of questions about raising a newborn, being a father and just baby stuff in general.
I suppose there is some sort of universe balance thing going on here. Karma, chance, fate, destiny…whatever you want to call it.
I was thinking today how much it might benefit my newspaper to start having recess time.
Dear Editor: I want to express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to my family and to the new and old friends who helped on our campaign for State Senate.

Ross is taking away choice
Dear Editor: Last Monday night I attended the Blue Springs City Council meeting to gain more information and express my and my neighbors concern on the city’s desire to take away our individual choices on purchasing our trash services.

John Beaudoin, Journal Publisher
OK, for the record, I am not nervous about the impending birth of my child.
Off the record, I have always loved shopping for school supplies.
The two things money cannot buy, I suppose.
Thursday was surreal. I woke up to a text message from my boss about the train accident on Hamblen Road in Lee’s Summit. Luckily, our police reporter Emily was able to make it on the scene, and I say luckily, because I did not want to see a truck mangled by a train. I’ve always had a fear of driving over train tracks. Irrational, sure, but nonetheless I still get a cold chill every time I cross tracks.
At long last, performance night had arrived.
A few days ago, we marked the 234th anniversary of the signing of one of history’s most significant statements of human rights and one of the most enduring symbols of American freedom.
The gloves finally came off Monday night at the Eighth District State Senate Forum at Delta Woods Middle School in Lee’s Summit.
One of the major themes of the current campaign season is the responsibility and accountability of government to the people.
This is always one of my favorite catchphrases during an election season.
Off the record, I’m starting to think about a career as a professional bridesmaid.

Solon for district 55
I fully support Sheila Solon. She has been a long-time friend and contributor to the community starting with the many years in the PTA, planning commission and city council. She works hard for the people, is trustworthy and honest and will make a good Representative for District 55.
There is a mad dash for Sen. Matt Bartle’s 8th District seat.

Dear Editor:
As the August primary and November elections approach, we all have an obligation to get to know the candidates as much as possible.

Dear Editor:
With the Republican Primary approaching on Aug. 3, I would like to take this opportunity to describe why Sheila Solon has my support for the 55th District candidate.
