My Beliefs #2 Adopt A Can Do Attitude

Robert Kennedy “There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why….I dream of things that never were and ask why not?”

My Beliefs: #1 Encourage Entrepreneurial Spirit

Atchison can prosper if we find and foster entrepreneurial spirit. Entrepreneur’s have the ability to see opportunities that other don’t and take calculated risks to achieve their goals. When the venture is successful the community enjoys new jobs and investment.

We must leave our comfort zone to promote the environment for entrepreneurs. We face two enemies’ status quo and fear of failure. We can accomplish our goals by using professional community planning, incubators, mentoring and service organizations that assist business start up.

Proactive is about attitude and outlook. We have to have foresight, wisdom and courage to succeed.

How to make our community stronger

ATCHISON, Kan. -- Lara Moritz has been going "On The Road" again this year to find inexpensive vacations for the family.

Amelia Earhart

This week, she visited Atchison, Kan., which is the birthplace of Amelia Earhart, the first female aviator to attempt flying around the world.The house in which Earhart was born has been transformed into a museum, showcasing various items and pictures.Earhart spent much of her childhood living with her grandparents in the home."She stayed here longer than any one place the rest of her life. Because after here they moved to Des Moines, and that was the beginning of many moves," museum curator Louise Foundray said.

Nice to see some effort

I think Patty Moore's story in the Atchison Globe shows that you're ready for leadership, Jack.

Unfortunately, others on the city commission aren't quite so ready. It sounds like they're just postponing the inevitable in waiting to raise water rates - typical government leadership I've seen in the past 6 years of covering various groups as a reporter. Nobody wants the blame, but everybody wants the credit.

Airport

Let me hear you opinion.
