One thing is certain. Mark McAnarney will never break his arm because he was patting himself on the back. Instead he gives praise to the people around him who had the city’s best interests at heart. McAnarney retired this month as Emporia city manager, after almost nine years on the job. He and his wife, Amy, had moved in July 1989 from Great Bend to Emporia, where they planted their family’s roots. Son Matt, was born in November, about four months after the couple arrived here, and a second son, Josh, was born about eight years later. “It was important to both of us for our kids to have a home town,” he said.
