Broman is quoted as saying: “They complained about (former city administrator Doug) Spangler but at least he brought in industry.”

Perhaps that is a misquote, because Truesdale is known for shoddy reporting,

If the quote is accurate, though, I find it interesting because Broman uses the word “they.” I was there the day that he and the rest of the council voted unanimously to fire Spangler.

It seems that Broman either didn't remember that or has trouble standing for his vote.

I hope that Haberlein, Backus, and Russell rot in eternal hell like the putrid corpses they are. You people serve no purpose to society.

Jesse Truesdale admitted in an earlier article that these illegal aliens had purchased a vehicle and were driving it around (most likely uninsured). Now, he tells us that they have been binge drinking, even drinking rubbing alcohol.

I will hold Jesse Truesdale and John Beal personally accountable for any injuries these illegals inflict on any innocent legitimate Americans. The blood of patriots will be on your souls for failing to turn these individuals in.

Mr. Scott, I totally understand your frustration. The other problem is that the street lights only solve half the problem. The sidewalks are the other issue. This is a systemic problem of all of Edwardsville north of K-32. Try driving on 104th street which is very narrow, no curbs, no sidewalks, and plenty of people out jogging or walking. Best of luck in your pursuit.

Great article, Sandra.

I got back this past weekend after spending the week in southwestern Kansas during harvest. There were some fields that had been hailed out, but for the most part everyone did pretty decent. Our family averaged around 50 bushel per acre. What astounded me was the selling price of wheat! Normally around harvest the price is at it's lowest, usually around $2-3 per bushel. Heck, this year it sat around $8.50 per bushel! My father-in-law had contracted out some wheat when it was at its highest at over $12 per bushel! I'm not sure why the demand is so high, if it is because of the flooded farmlands in Missouri and such, or if it is because so many are switching to producing corn. Whatever the case, I'm glad to see some farmers getting their due.

Great article, and I enjoyed reading from a knowledgeable source rather than something from John “the wheat fields are too tan” Beal.

I'm sorry, John, but once again you don't know what you're talking about.

You may have visited western kansas, but I grew up there. The majority of Kansas grows hard red wheat, and it comes in many varietys. The farm I worked on tended to prefer the Larned variety, but we usually grew 3-4 types.

Anyways, a few farms are now growing what we call a “white” wheat, which may be the stuff you are referring to in this article, but it is still pretty scarce. There is no overwhelming change in the wheat fields of western Kansas, despite what you see out your window.

Nice try, but next time don't stretch so hard trying to find something to write about. Why don't you and Jesse Truesdale go glorify a few more illegal immigrants?

Ok, so what are they going to do with all that lighter fluid they've collected? Pour it in the river? I like the idea of a free charcoal chimney, but I don't understand how this program removes the lighter fluid from the environmental equation. Something has to be done with it.

What exactly is the intent of this story? What message is being conveyed to the reader? Are we supposed to feel sorry for them?

The only thing it does for me is highly irritate me that Jesse Truesdale knows about and has refused to turn in illegal aliens that choose not to change the conditions and corrupt government they are facing within their own country but instead choose to come into our country illegally and leech off of taxpayer charity.

Now, they have purchased an automobile (illegally) and are more than likely uninsured. Jesse Truesdale and John Beal, the blood of innocents is on your hands and souls if they are ever involved in an accident in which a legitimate American loses their life. You are both accessories to criminal activity and traitors to our country.

How un-American can a small town newspaper be? I know tons of legal Americans struggling to make ends meet. Where are the stories about them? Where is the 5-part series following the widow raising several children on her own?

I can't even believe that Steve Cook is still a principal in this district, let alone Clark Middle School. Last year, while he was still in the high school, he made it well known to the teachers that they are not allowed to break up a fight.

In this instance, two kids pummeled each other and the teacher broke up the fight by pinning one kid against the wall. The kid pinned against the wall had a bad history. He had recieved numerous out-of-school suspensions earlier in the year for being involved in fights.

How was the punishment handled? Both boys recieved 3 days OSS. The teacher on the other hand, was forced on leave for an entire week (longer than the instigators) and put on probation for a year.

The message from Steve Cook is clear. Teachers must stand at a distance, NEVER physically disrupt a fight, but simply ask them to stop. The teacher's hands are tied. Any parent who sends their children to Clark Middle School under the administration of Steve Cook is putting their children in danger.

Perhaps parents of CMS students are intentionally fattening their kids up so they can better handle a beating that is bound to come under Steve Cook's administration.

I find it troubling that Sebelius is concerned more for the environment than killing babies.
