I attended Star's Creative Writing Class last Tuesday. Her suggestions for connecting with the wells of memory that have become forgotten or overgrown are ingenious and very effective. I've been swimming in memories, each begging for further exploration. If you want to bring those fleeting jewels to the light of day definitely consider taking Star's class. We all have beautiful thoughts and memories that deserve to be shared and it is easier than you may think. Remember, Tuesday at 10:45 at the library. See you there!

Amendments to the Kansas amusement ride act which could affect carnival rides at the fair.
House Bill 2389 is scheduled to be heard, I think on Thursday and Friday in Topeka. This may or may not affect the carnival rides at the fair, but looks like it may. I would suggest people contact Representative Adam Smith and maybe e-mail any concerns, so this doesn't have a negative affect on the community.
