Hamilton City Library Takes Some Adventures

Hamilton City Library Takes Some Adventures

The Hamilton City Library (HCL) is having their youngest patrons take virtual adventures in Kansas this summer, during the Summer Learning Program. Storytime continues through July on every Friday at 11:30 a.m. Ten places in Kansas are being discussed in the eightweek timeframe. So far the group has “virtually” traveled to Topeka and Dodge City and Abilene/ Atchison to learn about Gage Park and the Zoo, a Kansas Historical Museum, the Capitol Building (Topeka), Boot Hill, Rodeos and Santa Fe Trail (Dodge City) and talked about “Trains, Planes, and Other Things” (Abilene and Atchison). Kevin Lawrence and his son, Evan, had a presentation for the kids with a model train (electric) that lit up, it blew smoke from the engine, and the engineer talked. What an adventure that was! K. Lawrence played some railroad songs and sang while he played the banjo and the harmonica. Lunch was carryout or picnic on the floor. When the kids were asked, “What was your favorite part of today?” they replied… “The Train!” 07/09/2024 11:00 PM

Commissioners Revisited Issue Pertaining To Road At County Line

Commissioners Revisited Issue Pertaining To Road At County Line

Rural property owner Shilo Fury returned to the Greenwood County Commission meeting on Monday, July 8 to revisit discussion in regards to the Greenwood/Elk County line road along his property. After noting that a neighboring property owner was still looking to get the bridge in this area repaired and had contacted the state on the matter, Fury asked that the county mark the end of the open road so he can look to move his fence back. Fury also requested that trees be removed from the right-of-way. Fury was told that the portion of the road in Greenwood County is a township road. When he was notified that the township would have to be contacted in regards to the proposed tree removal, Fury noted he had been told by Elk County that this was turned over by the township to Greenwood County. It was soon reiterated in discussion that this is a township road. Greenwood County Counselor Paul Dean offered a possible resolution, suggesting reduction of the road width to 40 feet, which he noted is the minimum for county roads. When this was purposed, Fury noted that he was unsure if this would alleviate the fence needing to be removed, as it could be close. He later noted if the county were going to reduce the road to 40 feet, he would leave the fence and if not, he would remove it along the open roadway. Commissioners are to consider this further with Dean. Fury asked that they notify him of the determination. Dean, appearing by Zoom, noted he thought they needed to coordinate with Elk County as they consider the issue. 07/09/2024 11:00 PM
