Heard in Bonner: Stopping for school buses

• Police have been receiving some calls from concerned residents about motorists disregarding traffic laws when it comes to school buses. Several cars reportedly have been going around stopped school buses, a traffic violation that has been a big problem in the past and it seems it is becoming a problem again. The Bonner Springs Police Department has plans to crack down on this in the future; watch for more about this in The Chieftain.

Dorothy Klamm of Bonner Springs catered the dinner, as she has for several years. She is a health care food service retiree. Residents also welcomed a new site manager, Myrtle Bailey, who started in mid-November.
