Police Chief Recruitment Progresses
One of the things that has kept me busy the past few weeks has been the Police Chief Recruitment. Friday, I interviewed three candidates – two from Kansas and one from Missouri.
Normally, job interviews are 30 to 60 minutes. The team of interviewers and I spent about 2 hours asking questions. I feel I have enough information now to make an offer. I see the end of the process leading to hiring a new Police Chief. We can then move toward making the necessary changes to change us from “Good to Great.”
By the way, “Good to Great” is the name of a great book by Jim Collins. I recommend reading it.

Things to be thankful for!
Things have been quite busy at home and work the past few weeks. It has been busy enough to “think about” writing the next blog but that is about it. With Thanksgiving week before me, there is a break – Thankfully.
With that in mind, there is much to be thankful for. In his letter to the editor Friday, Jerry Burgess pointed out a number of good things about Concordia. You can’t list them all. However, Jerry did a very commendable job of reminding us of the value of this special place.
The past couple of weeks, my wife Susan has been involved in promoting a mission’s ministry of Samaritan’s Purse and Operation Christmas Child. Susan and several others organized the local church memberships to prepare a Christmas present for children of Third World countries. Folks put a number of toys, hygiene necessities and school supplies in shoe boxes that will be sent to children, some who have never received a present before. Today, we took 701 shoe boxes to the Salina “relay point” from our area. The boxes will be shipped to Minneapolis, MN and processed to be sent overseas.
One of the things to add to Jerry’s list is our generosity.
