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.

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.

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.

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.
As anticipated, the governor called a special session that convened at noon on June 24 and is expected to run through July 1. This special session will tie together an unlikely pair of issues — special tax breaks for Ford and state employee pension reform.
