Dr. Lori Peek, a University of Colorado sociology doctoral student, shifted her research after the September 11 attacks to study Muslim and Arab students in New York.

Four years after the Army listed Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant for sale near DeSoto, the plan to transfer cleanup costs to Oz Entertainment for a Oz World theme park and mixed development appears dead. Johnson County Board of Commissioners voted to cancel the feasibility study, casting doubt on any revival. Oz officials say options remain, but Lt. Governor Sherrer states revival is unlikely.
The Sunflower Plant outside DeSoto about 25 miles southwest of Kansas City was designed during World War II as the world’s largest smokeless powder maker. At peak it covered 10,747 acres and employed 12,000. By 1997 the site was declared excess amid contamination including asbestos, lead paint, pesticides, PCBs, dioxin, nitrates, acids, and sulfuric and nitric acids across 53 sites.
Blaine Hastings, project manager for the General Services Administration, said the land transfer program is back on the market as part of federal government operations.
