Kansas Renewal Institute is a Psychiatric Rehabilitation Treatment Facility in the old Mercy Hospital building.  KRI is not a detention center like the one in Girard. KRI opened in January of 2024 and accepted its first resident on May 13, 2024.  They have served approximately 160 children since that time.  KRI is licensed to serve children ages  8-22.  Kids are now initially approved for 60 days, and the average stay is about 158 days.   54 kids are currently attending KRI, which has a capacity of 58 beds. The original contract with the state of Kansas limited students to Kansas residents only; now, about 90% of kids are from Kansas, but KRI can take kids from all states.  KRI currently employs about 125 people. Kids live in the facility full-time, so  Abby makes sure kids are entertained in healthy ways.  Kids belong to multiple groups, one being an activity group.  Staff try to integrate kids into community activities and have guests come into the facility to interact with kids. Kids go to the movie theater once a month, and are going bowling later this month. USD 234 provides education services on-site. School takes place Monday through Thursday from 8:30-3:30. Students participate in Individualized learning online through USD 234, teachers and paras are on-site.  Students also attend special classes such as music, art, PE.   KRI is working with Freeman to add acute care services.  This would provide an additional  8 beds for kids in crisis.  Kids would be served one-on-one on a case-by-case basis for a few days. KRI employs therapists, nurse practitioners, case managers, behavioral health techs, housekeeping staff, and kitchen staff.   The community has been very gracious with donations, and they are very appreciated.  Check the Kansas Renewal Institute’s Facebook page to learn more about what is going on at the facility.

Bourbon County Receives $1M For Bridge Project on Jayhawk Rd.

Leave a comment

Governor Kelly Announces $40.5M
for 27 Local Bridge Projects


TOPEKA – Governor Laura Kelly and Kansas Department of Transportation Secretary Calvin Reed today announced that 27 local and off-system bridge projects across Kansas will receive a combined total of $40.5 million in state and federal funding as part of two local bridge improvement programs.

“By funding bridge projects across our state, we are directly investing in the future of our communities,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “Repairing and replacing aging bridges ensures people and commerce can move safely and efficiently throughout Kansas.”

Combined with matching funds from the awarded cities and counties, the total project value is over $46.5 million. By reshaping the local bridge programs, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) more than doubled its annual funding as part of the existing Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program (IKE).

There are more than 19,000 bridges on local road systems across Kansas, and over 5,000 of those bridges need updates to meet today’s standards.

“The Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program has allowed us to enhance our commitment to local bridges,” Secretary Reed said. “This is about more than just infrastructure; it’s about strengthening the vital connections that keep our towns and cities thriving.”

KDOT will award about $20 million through the Kansas Local Bridge Improvement Program (KLBIP) in Fiscal Year 2026. The funds will go to 11 bridge replacement projects, and an additional four deficient bridges will be permanently removed from local systems. The KLBIP, established in 2015, provides funds to local public authorities for the replacement or rehabilitation of deficient city and county-owned bridges. The program also allows cities and counties to be awarded additional funds for the removal of deficient bridges.

KDOT will award $20.5 million through the Off-System Bridge program (OSB) in Fiscal Year 2027 to fund 16 projects across the state. The OSB program was established to comply with federal requirements to use a specific portion of federal funds for bridges not on the federal-aid system. The funding is a combination of federal Surface Transportation Block Grant funds, Bridge Program Funds, and state funds.

The OSB and KLBIP programs are used for city and county bridges in need of replacement or repair that are not on the state highway system. Funds for both programs are awarded through an application process and, in most cases, require a local contribution. KDOT uses selection criteria that consider items such as bridge condition, detour length, inability to carry legal loads, and past project history.

For this cycle of the local bridge programs, KDOT received a combined total of 163 applications requesting $189.3 million.

Below is a list of the recipients and project locations for the KLBIP and OSB programs.

Old Settler’s Picnic Parade 2025: Remembering the Past, Planning the Future

Leave a comment

The 120th Old Settlers’ Picnic festivities in Uniontown culminated with the parade on September 1.

Rain threatened, but did not happen for this annual picnic, which was much appreciated by participants.

Vendors lined the sidewalk in the town’s square, and children and their loved ones lined the streets waiting for the anticipated candy that is traditionally thrown to viewers of the parade.

The theme this year was Remembering the Past-Planning the Future.

The parade grand marshals were the Bill and Doris George family, with four generations on the haywagon, representing the legacy of this local farm family.

Other activities from August 29 to September 1 included a street dance, a 5K run/walk, a kids’ fishing derby, rodeos, a community church service, a car show, a baby contest, and numerous games and prizes, along with the annual recognitions.
