Water plan taps sales tax to fund Kansas long term supply
A blue ribbon panel urges dedicating one tenth of one percent of existing sales tax revenue to water projects to extend the Ogallala Aquifer life and rehabilitate sedimented reservoirs. The proposal, backed by a task force of officials and lawmakers, faces budget hurdles and tax-policy debate amid a $500 million shortfall and calls for a constitutional amendment and 10 year renewals.

Choir program aims to balance voice roles among genders
World choir participation is about 60 percent women and 40 percent men, said Dr. Mark Lucas. He notes women often sing softly when outnumbered and advocates a 50/50 ratio to empower female singers. The program split singers by age and voice, culminating in a joint finale singing God Bless America. Students like Keegen Hendricks and Dominic Wimbush describe positive changes in confidence and technique, with many saying singing changed their outlook on music education. Bentz, a freshman, emphasizes singing as a holistic, emotive practice and plans to study vocal music education at Baker University.
