That’s because a commemorative brick drive and a seven-month series of fund-raisers helped supporters net more than half of the money needed to pay for a bronze statue of the town’s namesake. Much more. “I think we’re at about 80 percent,” Eudora Lions Club member Tom Tucker said.

- January 18, 2007
- Eudora City Administrator Cheryl Beatty outlined the challenge. Eudora needs more commercial business to maintain growth. The prime places where businesses might grow need infrastructural improvements the city can’t afford. Residential property taxpayers outnumber commercial taxpayers 9-to-1. The disparity means few restaurants, one hardware store and no large general store, Beatty said.

Point of View
What do you think about a proposed ban on smoking in public places such as restaurants, bars and workplaces?
As much as I hate government interfering with our lives, I love the smoking ban. Going out in Lawrence is so nice without smelling cigarette smoke at your table while eating.
