There are state statutes regarding legal publications.  Go to the link,  http://kspress.com/26/public-notice  and it will lead to the requirements and legal limits of costs involved.

Having been a past co-publisher (many years ago) of the newspapers in Elk and Chautauqua counties I can say from personal experience that what pays for your local weekly newspaper, and might make it profitable for the publisher, is ADVERTISING.  Legal publications are a very small contributor to the profit equation. Subscriptions, of course are important, BUT are not a money maker for a weekly publication dependent on delivery via the US mail.  The best hope is the monies collected on subscriptions will cover the cost of circulation (labor and prep for delivery to postal facility, postage costs, etc) over a years time.  Bottom line, the ads you see in the newspaper are the meat and potatoes of any publication.

Now for my disclaimer, I am not in any way supporting or not supporting the local newspaper, the local government, or the opinions of anyone posting about this or any other thread on the forum.  If you really want to know what the state requirements are for legal publications...go to the website I posted.

I think Rudy provided the answer to the last question!!

I know this isn't the proper place to ask...but Jo, how is Fred doing?

All in all after that windy dissertation, am I doing it the right way introducing her to the litter box? How long does it take before she will go?  My other cats just seemed to go after I set them in it one time.

If I were betting, I'd bet that she found the liter box after you went to bed. 

It's wonderful that he is home and doing well!  We all know in more ways than one he is in good hands and has you to keep him in line (ha)...now Jo, who is gonna keep an eye on you?   Both of you, take care!

I personally believe there is blame to be put on the people and also the stores for encouraging people to fight over the five items that are such a bargain.

Well, if you are going to place blame with the retailer then don't forget the media.  Without the media to constantly push the advertising, that advertising & marketing agencies have developed, to push down everyone's proverbial throats the public wouldn't be aware of what they need to froth at the mouth to get out there and kill to buy.  I guess then we should actually blame the media for the publics lack of self-control, lack of respect, and inability to make rational decisions.  See, there is a whole new group out there to blame!!

Or, here's a novel concept, perhaps they can rule the unfortunate death as an accident, poke society in its craw, and mumble a few words about self-control and the spirit of the holidays, and wait for the next strange circumstance to unfold.  Perhaps a man will leave his cell phone at a McDonald's with nude pictures of his wife, the pictures will show up online, and the man will sue McDonald's.

AMEN!!!  It's sad that we/society have been reduced to always looking for and placing the blame on SOMEONE else.  We/society are rarely willing to take blame for our own decisions and actions.  Whatever happened to RESPECT, COURTESY, RESPONSIBILITY, and SELF-CONTROL??  The unbelievable tragedy that happened is not  due to the fault of Walmart.  That's ridiculous.  That incident could have happened at any large store that Friday morning.  Tyring to lay blame on the retailer is a scapegoat.

Hiya kiddo...oh, thanks for sending the pics of Scott!!!

Funny isn't it the difference 24 hours can make!  It's wonderful that things are progressing very positively.  I remember when my dad went through this surgery it's not an easy haul for them physcially and mentally.  Teresa if I could  I'd give your mom a big hug cuz she's gonna need it in the weeks to come.  I'm relieved things are going well.

My grandmother ALWAYS wore an apron.  My mother didn't until I started making aprons for her.  I've always worn an apron when cooking and working in the kitchen...I'm a messy chef.

What if we talked to the cities of Severy and Sedan, Longton and Grenola, and Moline and Elk Falls to see if we could get a network or community signs that could be accessed for either emergency or advertising.....Community calendars, school events, directions to events, and a shared sense of community.

We should work together instead of against our neighbors......

Stay with us as we grow........

Excellent idea Patrick, the only way the area will survive is if everyone works together for the good of the "whole".
