Last week, I attended a forum in Topeka for candidates running for the Kansas House of Representatives from Shawnee County. I had hoped to see my district’s representative there, but he didn’t attend. No need to come out when one, you’re unopposed, two, there’s a supermajority in power so no need to work with the other side, and three, we frankly didn’t plan to get much done anyway, so why talk about it?
It was two in a row for the Newton High School football team, which was able to get most of its players involved in a 4514 win over Salina South Friday in AV-CTL I play on senior night at Fischer Field. It matches Newton’s highest scoring total since beating Salina Central 4521 in 2016.
This week there will be a critical vote of the Harvey County Commission, one that will be critical to a proposed wind energy project in Harvey County. That vote is expected to draw enough attention from landowners in the county that, like meetings of the Planning and Zoning Board to discuss this same issue, the commission has moved the vote off the regular agenda and meeting time. The commission has chosen to hold the vote at 6:30 Oct. 13 at the Meridian Center, 1420 E. Broadway Ct. Newton.
America’s rise to prominence following World War II was due to a massive increase in university attendance, heavily stimulated by the GI Bill. The return of war veterans, who had experienced the Great Depression in their childhood, along with the prior inflow of foreign academics who had fled persecution, led to a surge in college and university expansions. University enrolment in 1950 was seven times the proportion of college enrolment in 1900! This in turn resulted in a solid growth in the U.S. economy, expanded suburbs, and more subsequent Nobel Prizes. –But only for two generations.
Kansans will soon vote on Constitutional Amendment 1 (also called HCR 5014), which creates a “legislative veto.” At stake is an important but dull topic to most—checks and balances. Civics 101 time.
Stop the poor treatment of animals This week’s case before the US Supreme Court is not about abortion, religious freedom, or gun rights, but whether farm animals are entitled to life before death. The meat industry is challenging California’s 2018 law requiring minimal space and health standards for the animals.
