This evening, I traveled to Stockton with Representative Dan Johnson and his lovely wife Gwen, to attend a public forum considering the proposed Rooks County Wind Project that is planning construction of 25 wind turbines on either side of the Stockton Lake.
Roger Hrabe, Rooks County economic development director, began the meeting, introduced the dignitaries in [...]

Tuesday I had the honor and opportunity to address the members, new inductees, school personnel, family and friends of the Colby High School National Honor Society.
As I traveled west on I-70, I was surprised to see traces of the snowfall that delivered between 6 and 8 inches of white, fluffy moisture the previous weekend. The [...]

Yesterday, Carl and I traveled to Hugoton to attend the “Pheasant Heaven Charities - Calf Fry, Beef Feed and Pig Roast.” Brad Musgrove, one of the organizers, invited us to the event.

Gypsum is about 12 miles north of Roxbury, just over the border (from McPherson County into Saline County), and was a city of intrigue for teenagers needing to spread their wings and experience the neighboring communities. Growing up in the Roxbury area, many of our friends came from the neighboring communities of Canton to the [...]

Svensk Hyllningsfest Parade
I must admit, I wasn’t quite ready for the taste of winter as we planned for the Svensk Hyllningsfest Parade in Lindsborg, cleverly themed “Dala Daze and Viking Knights.” However, several layers of clothing and a good pair of gloves transformed the cold into a brisk fall morning. I walked the parade and [...]

September has been a whirlwind of activity. School is underway and daily schedules have, once again, become routine as the hectic summer activities become a memory. As the county fairs and parades begin to dwindle, we still find ourselves traveling every weekend and oft times, throughout the week. Early in the month, I met with [...]

Lindsborg
When Chelsea, our youngest daughter, was attending law school at Pepperdine, twice a year, she and I shared a long road trip together moving her between Kansas and California. We always had great road trips together and it was a great time for “girl talk.” She has since graduated and I miss our twice-a-year excursions.

I am convinced that God smiles on Abilene, Ks – or, according to our granddaughter Aubrey, He was smiling on her – in Abilene.
We enjoyed another beautiful day for a parade. We were in Abilene for the D-Day anniversary celebration on June 6 and reveled in the bright sunshine and the beautiful tree-lined streets. Well [...]

The mist was collecting on the windshield as we drove from Marquette to Wilson to the events of the Czech Festival. We began the morning with a political coffee at the Wilson Senior Center where Congressman Moran, State Senator Jay Emler, and former State Representative Josh Svaty, the new interim Kansas Secretary of Agriculture [...]
