Traffic patrols increasing through weekend
November 21, 2011
The Tonganoxie Police Department, along with many other law enforcement agencies across the state, including the Kansas Highway Patrol, will be participating in the Kansas Thanksgiving Traffic Enforcement Campaign from Monday, Nov. 21, through Sunday, Nov. 27.
A grant through the Kansas Department of Transportation will underwrite overtime traffic enforcement, especially targeted at impaired drivers and vehicle occupants who are not properly restrained.
The Thanksgiving holiday weekend (Wednesday through Sunday) commonly outranks all other holidays in its number of alcohol-related crashes.

Point of View
What’s the best way to spend a snow day?
Shovel your driveway and paths, check neighbors’ driveways and then grab all your closest little ones and find the biggest sledding hill. Snowmen also are a must. Snow days are a great time to catch up on missed shows and much-needed rest. I love snowdays, they haven’t changed one bit even as an adult, although I am sure not all working adults can say that, but I am happy I can. I was excited to see the snowmen and other snow sculptures throughout the Lawrence and Kansas City metro areas.
