Heard in Bonner: Parks, pizza and another closing
• Skip Dobbs, director of Bonner parks and recreation, was recently elected as the 2012 president of Kansas City Metropolitan Parks and Recreation Director’s Association. The organization meets every other month to discuss trends and topics relative to the parks and recreation industry.
• Papa Murphy’s Pizza has been open since Nov. 14 but will have its grand opening the weekend of Dec. 15-18. The Bonner Springs-Edwardsville Chamber of Commerce will have a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. Friday, Dec. 16.
• I wrote that Sweet Repeats would be closing on Dec. 23 a few days ago, and now I’m sad to admit I hadn’t noticed that another downtown business has closed. But for those who haven’t been downtown recently (or who have and didn’t notice, like me), Freseros Mexican Restaurant, which first opened in 2009, closed the week of Nov. 28. No word on why… the last entry on their Facebook page was in August. I’ll let you know if I hear more.

Point of View
The postal service is cutting back hours at some rural post offices. How often do you go to the post office?
“For my own personal use, I only go a couple times a year to mail gifts, usually around Christmas and family birthdays. At that time I usually buy a couple books of stamps that last for most of the year! For professional use, I go a couple times a month to check our PO Box.”
