The first presidential vote since the war on terrorism sees Bush urging safety and Kerry urging change. Voters line up across states with high engagement as campaigns stress stakes and national security, amid demographic and regional tensions shaping turnout.
Voters flocked to polls across Garden City this morning for an elections day featuring a proposed expansion tax for U S Highway 50 and the presidential race between George W Bush and John Kerry. Estella Bowen at Garden Valley Retirement Village noted a quicker turnout than last year and residents like Diana Keesling, age 56, reflected on long voting history and support for Bush. Ballots indicate broad participation anticipated at venues including the Senior Center of Finney County.
Emmaus House marked 25 years of aid with staff serving meals and shelter to those in need. Executive Director Robin Marsh recalled origins in the 1970s and the move to unify church efforts, as volunteers gathered for a luncheon and tours of the facility in a commemorative event.
Finney County commissioners met Monday to discuss needed improvements at the Finney County Fairgrounds including drainage and renovation of the exhibition building and how to fund them. They noted the building fund is no longer on the property tax rolls and debated using that source.
Finney County commissioners reviewed fairground fees and policies and floated reestablishing a building fund after voters rejected reauthorization in March. Aiming for a property tax mill rate of 1/2 or 3/4, they hope to address drainage issues, with a March ballot proposal previously seeking up to 1 mill for 10 years.
Four year colleges in Kansas push to diversify student bodies by reaching out to Hispanic students, but many communities show low response. Students cite family preferences and costs as barriers to attending in-state four-year universities.
Emmaus House at 802 North Fifth Street celebrates a quarter century of offering shelter, meals, and counseling to residents in need. The milestone reflects steady support from volunteers and donors sustaining programs for families and individuals seeking stability.
