Heard in Bonner: Christmas cards at City Hall
• Mayor Clausie Smith shared Christmas cards made by the Bonner Springs Elementary School choir — one card for each grade level — at Monday’s city council meeting. The cards will be on display at City Hall through Christmas.
• More than 200 people showed up at the Dec. 6 Hollywood Casino job fair at Kansas City Kansas Community College. Organizers say some started lining up at 7:30 a.m., though the job fair didn’t start until 10 a.m. The job fair mostly looked to fill positions for the casino’s restaurants — cooks, bartenders and servers. This is the third job fair the casino has conducted. The first, in August, was for dealers and drew about 650 people; the second was in October at the Overland Park Sheraton and brought out about 800 people.
• More from KCKCC: the college’s Fire Science program has more than doubled in size in the last year, from 53 to 100 participants. The program also has a new look thanks to some remodeling, which a Bonner police officer contributed to. Lt. Rick Schubert, who is one of the police department’s fire investigators and also works part time for KCKCC’s campus police, helped build a rack for the breathing apparatus air containers. Also, Dr. Nancy Thomas, who coordinates the program, is a Bonner resident. I’m hoping to chat with her for a story about the program in the next couple of weeks.

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.”
