The Southwest Plains Regional Service Center opened two new Community Learning Centers in Deerfield and Holcomb to help adults 18 and older earn high school diplomas online. At Deerfield, 15 students are enrolled. Holcomb has about 30. Programs emphasize self paced study and performance over attendance, with expected May graduations from Holcomb.
Deerfield CLCs at 203 E Sixth St and 303 Wiley St operate 8am to 8pm Monday through Thursday and 8am to noon Friday. Counselors in the district tailor classes needed for a diploma. Superintendent Jon Ansley notes the centers meet a community need for workers with families seeking completion. See Outreach, Page A5.
Finney County and Garden City, joined by three property owners, file in Wichita federal court to halt the September effect of updated flood plain maps. They seek a preliminary injunction and a restart of the flood insurance study to include two drainage ditches that would add over 1,800 county properties to the flood plain. The suit argues for constitutional and National Flood Insurance Act rights and follows FEMA’s denial to postpone the maps’ effective date.
Finney County Sheriff Kevin Bascue says although KDHE ended its clandestine meth lab cleanup program last month, local authorities can handle remaining sites with existing resources. Lab finds in the county dropped from 11 between 2004 and 2005 to two in 2008, yet meth distribution remains a concern. Federal help may be needed for lab cleanup, which remains costly.
The Garden City and Finney County animal shelter nears completion at Fleming Street and Terminal Avenue with heating ducts and mechanical work wrapping up.
