July/August/September

Although fund raising was sufficient to build the monument at Barry and East Side...the efforts for the annual Fireworks display fell short in a year where the budget for the big boom was increased over the previous year.  Trend?  We shall see, the solicitations for both will start in earnest in the coming months.

A couple of interested parties lobbied the BOA to allow golf carts on City streets.  The discussion stretched over a number of meetings...but the outcome was no golf carts...for now.

Incumbent County Commissioner Dusenbery got smacked down in the primaries by challenger Bev Roper.

Unlike the Barry Road project or the City Monument effort, the WLIC move to renovate C-Point was efficient and fast, wham, bam, thank you mam!  New bathrooms, seawall, ramps, party facility, road compliment the beach and surrounding dock.  Now all we need is water and major changes to the Chiefs football team.  Really.

Hats off to the readers and those who Comment.  God willing, we will all be back for more in 2013.

MAYBE JERRY COULD SELL OUR "SLUDGE" IN 2013 TO KEEP OUR WATER/SEWER RATES DOWN!

A Kansas City farm that uses sewer sludge to fertilize crops for the production of biofuel has generated revenue for the city while providing a way to get rid of tons of sewage produced each year, city officials said.
The city uses the waste as fertilizer on 1,340 acres it owns along the Missouri River near a wastewater treatment plant. The farm grows mostly corn and soybeans that are sold to make biofuel - meaning none of the crops are meant for human consumption, The Kansas City Star reported Monday.

Maybe we should resell the sludge already deposited by KCMO in our lake back to them. Recall they have deposited poop and pee in the lake numerous times as well as run off, most recently with the Barry Road fiasco. I would think they would be eager to buy it back.
