Why the Ball of Twine matters

Cawker City is one of four places nationwide featuring balls of twine that residents say hold size records. When farmer Frank Stoeber began making a ball out of the twine that littered the floor of his barn on Dec. 24, 1953, he had no idea that ball would one day grow into a popular tourist attraction.

Interns look to a career in law enforcement

Newton High School seniors Toby Spreier and Izabella Hinojos know what it’s like to be tased. It’s not because they’re on the wrong side of the law; it’s because they’re in training for employment on the right side of the law. One of the highlights of his internship was taking part in a ride-along with an officer who got a call to do a vehicle check in Sedgwick. It turned out to be a hit-and-run DUI suspect, he said. Both have internships at the Harvey County Sheriff’s Office, with Hinojos doing it for a year and Spreier for a semester.

The results show that 470 people responded to the survey, the most responses the P&Z received on a survey in over 10 years.

Johnston, said they would give Wichitans a chance to vote on the initiative if it had sufficient public backing to justify an election.

Fed dissenters explain ‘no’ votes, saying they disagreed with hinting next move would be a cut

Federal Reserve officials who voted this week against the post-meeting statement said they didn’t think it was appropriate to signal that the next interest rate move would be lower. Regional presidents Neel Kashkari of Minneapolis and Beth Hammack of Cleveland released statements explaining their votes, offering similar rationale regarding the verbiage in the statement — but not over the decision to keep a hold on rates form their current position.

Riley County adopts complaint policy for bathroom law

The Riley County Commission on Thursday adopted a policy for handling complaints related to a recent state law prohibiting transgender Kansans from using facilities associated with their gender identity. “It’s relatively straightforward,” county counselor Jacob Hansen told commissioners. “The purpose, of course, is that individuals who want to make a complaint pursuant to that law are able to do so.” Senate Bill 244, which has been in effect since Feb. 26, established that it’s unlawful for people to enter a multiple-occupancy private space — such as bathrooms and locker rooms — in a government-owned building that is “designated for use only by individuals of the opposite sex.”
