Point of View
Do you plan on attending the St. Patrick’s festivities Saturday in Tonganoxie?
I like seeing Tongie being festive and all dressed up for the occasion. Along with my family, I will be attending the parade, watching the Wild Women of the Frontier, snarfing up some corn beef and cabbage and listening to the pipes. I’m only Irish on St. Paddy’s Day, and sometimes the weekends before and after. The rest of the time, I’m Scottish and both cultures regard pipes as heavenly. To me, it is also a celebration of spring’s imminent arrival, and the green color carries that message, too.

No comments to the School Board? What an apathetic group of citizens. Are we going to get hit with another bond issue because they fail to have any creative juices? Two more mills for kids who can't make change. Education is important, at least to Europeans, Asians and other parts of the world. I would favor an increase if the schools were open all year and students rotated to avoid the need for another building. If you can't instruct them then get new instructors and administation. If they can quote and understand the classics, perform at high levels of math without a calculator, know the history of their country and the world, understand the basics of all sciences and ALL religions, then the school has partially done its job. This is not to underestimate the value of parents but sometimes they seem worse than their children!
