Atlanta Children’s Project Delayed Camp Outreach
Kansas City officials report the Atlanta Children’s Project has raised only 30 thousand dollars of a planned half million, aiding two Atlanta children so far. Founder Delia Young faces board critics as five Atlanta members failed to distribute camp applications, delaying summer plans while the project seeks releases and new distribution through the Atlanta Housing Authority. Wesley Greene and LaToi Greene, aged 12 and 3, are the first beneficiaries, staying with grandparents in Kansas City for the summer.

Governor seeks federal disaster aid for Kansas floods and tornado
Gov. John Carlin pressed for presidential disaster declarations covering Barton County including Great Bend and Hoisington after last month’s floods causing over 17 million in damage and Lawrence after a tornado two weeks earlier that killed one and caused about 18 million in damage. He warned delays could hurt families awaiting aid while researchers warned wheat losses may barely affect state finances but could hurt farmers if patterns continue. Kansas wheat harvest is projected at about 300 million bushels, far below the record year, with North Dakota possibly surpassing as the top producer.
