WHOSE YARD IS THAT?
City cracking down on trashy property

Great Bend City Sanitarian Gregg Vannoster challenges residents to take a quick drive around town.“It does not take long until a yard catches your eye,” he said. “The grass forms a carpet of plush, luscious green that just seems to beckon one to take a walk on it without shoes; allowing the blades of grass to tickle the toes.”The scene is tranquil. “One can only imagine the hours, or even the days or months it took to obtain such a picturesque setting.”But, he said, one is also likely to see piles what appears to be trash – materials or an old car representing the owners’ unfulfilled dreams of restoration or that new family room addition, or a jungle of twisted trees and tall grass.
