Of Note?

From the May 1st edition of the Parkville Paper that my puppy poops on, an article entitled "Of Note" an article that was written about the The last Friday event "Flair." the article claims the event was sponsored by the Parkville Chamber of Commerce and the Parkville pet cage liner. Unfortunately the paper got the sponsor wrong it was Main Street Parkville Association. But then that is what you get for "unbiased" reporting.

The "article" goes on to report that the event was a success, 300 people in attendence, and in an attempt to to critique the Power Plant, The author complained about "dysfunctional" Toilets. and the claim that the power plant was a "vacant" building was also untrue. when a building is being used it is not vacant. The use of the building for the event was donated by Tom Hutsler. The author of the article claims there was "no comment" from Hutsler about the "dysfunctional" toilets, the reason that there was no comment from Hutsler was that the "author" of the article never called to ask for a comment of the situation of the "dysfunctional" toilets. Nice to know that the "author" is thorough in gathering all the information in regards to the story for this section.

I asked Hutsler for a comment on the situation of the "dysfunctional" toilets and he responded that the reason for the "Dysfunctional" toilet in question was that toilet was stuffed full of things that were not meant to go down the toilet, according to the plumber that was brought in to repair the toilet in question. I seriously question the aptitude of the editor of the Parkville Paper that my dog poops on, if this the best he can do then I should begin to report on the activities that occur in my town I live in. At least I can be objective on what I report.

A "sponsor" of the Flair event? Really? That must surly have been a typo. I mean, after all, the sponsors all had signs proclaiming their sponsorship, and most were in attendance. I don't recall seeing either a sign, or him, at the event.

Cap't:
I heard our local, esteemed "newspaper" editor/publisher of KCUR-FM yesterday on the "Up To Date" show hosted by Steve Kraske of the Kansas City Star. He was there with the editors of two community newspapers, one from Jackson County and another from the Kansas side. These two folks are obviously well thought of by their readers, and the call to the show was a testament to that.

I found it interesting that no one called in to make any statement to the other guest. However, Mr. Kraske did ask the burning question that clearly made the answerer quite uncomfortable. He asked about the Kansas City Luminary. With a a lame attempt to distract the questioner, the answerer made a comment about how much he enjoyed listening to Kim Nobel. When that and the ensuing comment from Mr. Kraske failed to eat up the remaining show air time, the question was finally answered. The answerer said, "after 13 weeks, we called it a success and closed it down." Hmm, while there may not be "money enough to stop the Luminary", there does seem to be more than enough disinterest and apathy.
