MY PERSPECTIVE, Gary Damron In high school I ran cross country at Shawnee Mission North. At least once a week, our practice course took the team past a DAR marker on the site of an old Quaker mission to the Shawnees. When working on a graduate degree, I had classes from Dr. Bill Unrau,...
GUEST COLUMN, Greg Doering, Kansas Farm Bureau Like track runners, farmers and ranchers in Kansas face several hurdles. Whether it’s unpredictable and unfavorable weather, a volatile market that causes commodity prices to fluctuate or correcting misconceptions about agriculture, farmers...
A SECOND OPINION, The Topeka Capital Journal Boy, that was quick. Kansas' bipartisan moment at the Statehouse lasted all of a few hours around the inauguration of Gov. Laura Kelly last month. Now that we're at the halfway mark of the session, precious little has been done to achieve...
