Salvation Army to turn ranch into camp site in Kansas City area
The Salvation Army plans to convert a Kansas City area ranch into a summer camp complex linking western pioneer heritage with wildlife preservation. Maj. Loren Carter notes trails like Oregon and California run through the site, which features abundant fauna and stretches of historic stone fences. Douglas County youths and 24 corps centers in Kansas and western Missouri may enroll in three to ten day camps, with fall winter and spring access for churches and nonprofits. The Petersons sold the property in 1999 after restoring the barn and expanding the home, aided by federal grants to preserve wildlife habitat.

Unemployment Drop Prompts Tax Cut Plan for 2006
Kansas officials tout a improving economy with 20 straight months of higher nonfarm job growth than a year earlier and a 15 percent drop in unemployment claims and benefits. Beth Martino of the Labor Department says declining rates benefit both employers and workers as tax rates adjust from 0.07 to one percent based on employer past benefit usage. The trust fund stands at 465 million dollars, with the tax plan expected to raise 281 million versus 342 million this year.
