If you are a Dodge City voter, here are two important races to think about: the race for U.S. Senate, where Mark Holland is challenging incumbent Jerry Moran, and the race for U.S. Representative for the first congressional district, where Jimmy Beard is challenging incumbent Tracey Mann. To inform our vote, let’s look at Moran and Mann’s past votes in Congress.
As I listen to and see the vicious attack ads by the Republican Party may I remind our voters that our Governor, Laura Kelly inherited a huge mess! If voters will recall it was former Governor Brownback, supported by the Republican Party, who upset the child care/ foster care system. He is the one who changed the well-established and well-run department of Social Services SRS to the Department of Family and Children (DCF).
Recently released quality information from U.S. Wheat Associates adds a positive note to an otherwise disheartening 2022 wheat harvest — despite the persistent drought conditions that limited yields, U.S. farmers produced one of the highest quality hard red winter crops in years.
Dear Amy: Dear Amy: My husband and I have been together for 16 years, during which time he has always been obsessed with having his back rubbed. More specifically, it is his back, his legs (if we’re sitting on the couch), and even his neck while riding in the car.
This fall I will mark my ballot to retain all six Kansas Supreme Court justices. Yes, I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. So, as judges often demand, here’s the evidence supporting mine.
Dear Amy: I think I was scammed! As a divorced 62-year-old woman on a fixed income, I recently hired someone to fix plumbing damage to my house that insurance wouldn’t cover. His bid was substantially lower, and he could start the next day. He asked for half down so I sent him 50 percent ($300) through an online payment system.
Dear Amy: For the past year, I have been dating a man who is separated from his wife. They separated shortly before we started dating, and both want a divorce. He loves his two children (11 and 13) very much, but does (fairly openly) regret having children with her.
Dear Amy: I am the stepmom to two young adults. My husband recently learned that his son and the son’s girlfriend of three years are only using condoms for birth control.
Like many Republicans, I am voting for Laura Kelly to serve as Governor and Chris Mann for Attorney General. Their opponents, Derek Schmidt and Kris Kobach have plans to try again to ban abortions and sue the Federal government rather than focus on Kansas priorities.
Dear Amy: I paid for a large portion of my favorite nephew’s college expenses (he’s also my godson). I was happy to do this because I love him and want to support him. His mother (my sister) has told me that he has asked to only have immediate family at his college graduation ceremony and dinner this coming spring, which means I would not be included. I know that as an adult (he’s 23) he has a right to choose who he wants to celebrate his graduation with, but can I at least tell him how hurt I am by this? Can I ask that I also be included (and that I will leave my husband and daughter at home)?
