Dear kck_kat:

It appears you have never participated in any event at the Kansas Expocentre in Topeka, or the Bicentennial Center in Salina.

The security reacts the same at these two locations, and you also will not be able to enter either facility with food and drink.

My seventh grade daughter had a 0.79 bag of pretzels jerked out from under her arm at the 4A State Volleyball Tournament in Salina, and we deal with the same issues at the Kids Tournament in Topeka.

A possible solution to the filthy bathrooms is to have the high school boys hit the urinals.

I personally made several requests to have trash emptied, and shortly after the request, the Coliseum maintenance emptied the containers.

Are these maintenance people mind readers, or should responsible adults (coaches) report the issues.

I also removed several paper towels from the uninals in the mens room to prevent the inevitable overflow. These paper towels did not get into the urinal by accident, they were placed there on purpose.

Do we blame the facility and facility maintenance for intentional mischief?
