Kansas Heartland aims to redefine Girl Scouts in Garden City
Chandra Lay, regional manager, leads a push to showcase leadership and diverse activities beyond cookies. The program partners with Finney County Health Coalition to reach Burmese and local families, funded by United Way, with recruiting events planned including an Oct 11 open house at 114 Grant Ave and a K 9 Demo barbecue at Finnup Scout Park. The effort stresses girl led programs, STEM, and awards that boost college and military opportunities, while inviting volunteers and new members of all ages.

Democrats seek KanCare inquiry into contracts
Two Democratic lawmakers Sen. Laura Kelly and Rep. Jim Ward request a special legislative investigation into KanCare contract bidding amid FBI scrutiny of former governor staffer David Kensinger. They argue for broader ethical conduct questions in Kansas while Republicans dismiss it as election-year politics. The governor’s office says bidding was open and public records are available with even losing bidders praising the process.
