  1.  Program:  Jenni Simhiser, The Path of EASE Associate (Redemption House) 501(c)(3)

Jenni comes from a background of drug and alcohol addiction.  A year and a half ago, she overcame her addiction with the help of the Oxford House in Topeka.  When she came back to Fort Scott, she recognized the need for more resources for those stuck in addiction.  She decided to move back to Fort Scott with the goal of opening recovery homes and building a recovery community.  Jenni is opening the first women’s and children’s house in Fort Scott.  She eventually plans to open a men’s and children’s house.  She has received a lot of support in Fort Scott. She hopes to partner with AA and Celebrate Recovery to coordinate services.  Jenni is also waiting for approval to place a Narcan vending machine in the downtown area.  Applications for recovery homes can be found on The Path of EASE Facebook Page, DCF, and soon Salvation Army/Compassionate Ministries.  Currently have housing for 7 women and their children. Clients will only be responsible for paying $60 per week to cover the cost of living in the house. Jenni will be living in the house and helping run it. A Grand Opening and ribbon-cutting event will be announced.  Jenni also plans to incorporate a Farm-to-Table project with those living in the house.  On April 26, a Paint and Praise fundraiser and raffle will be taking place at the Recovery House, 728 Heylman.  The Path of EASE has a CashApp and will take monetary donations for anyone interested in helping.

Bourbon County Proclamation
National Public Health Week
WHEREAS, National Public Health Week celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025, recognizing 30
years of significant strides to improve the health and health equity of people of the United States;
and
WHEREAS, vaccination is one of the most significant public health achievements in history and
has resulted in substantial decreases in the number of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths
associated with vaccine-preventable diseases; and
WHEREAS, public health professionals help communities prevent, prepare for, mitigate, and
recover from the impact of public health emergencies and a full range of health threats,
including disease outbreaks; natural disasters; and other disasters, and
WHEREAS, a person’s health status can differ drastically by ZIP code due to differences in the
built environment, environmental quality, community context, access to healthy food, access to
education and access to health care;
WHEREAS, efforts to adequately support public health and the prevention of disease and injury
can continue to transform a health system focused on treating illness into a health system focused
on preventing disease and injury and promoting wellness.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Brandon Whisenhunt, Bourbon County Commissioner Chairman, by
virtue of the authority vested in me by the laws of Bourbon County, do hereby proclaim the week
of April 7-13, 2025, as National Public Health Week in Bourbon County, Kansas. I call upon the

A new ranch and farm supply store opened on April 1, two miles south on Hwy.69 at 2187 Hackberry Road.

Submitted photos of the Producers Cooperative Association’s new store in Bourbon County.

“There was a soft store opening on April 1st with a Grand Opening to follow on May 8th,” she said.

Left to right: Brock Howser and Will Wunderly, two of the employees at the PCA Store in Bourbon County. Submitted photo.

 

The Location Supervisor is Will Wunderly, with three other employees.

In August 2024, the Producers Cooperative Association leadership began the process of expanding into Bourbon County, Wunderly said.

He said that the building was previously a tractor dealership.

Submitted photo of the PCA store.

Why a store in rural  Bourbon County?

“With our main office being located just to the south, in Girard Kansas, we chose to expand with our growth into Bourbon County,” Johnson said. ” We have multiple customers in Bourbon County and saw it as an opportunity to expand our services for our customers.”

County Commissioners discuss zoning, tax sales, auctions

The north wing, east side of the Bourbon County Courthouse.

Two commissioners, Brandon Whisenhunt and David Beerbower, met to conduct county business, as District 3’s, seat is currently vacant.

Old Business

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Govdeals.com

Beerbower brought up a complaint he had received from a local auction service regarding the commission’s decision to use Govdeals.com to sell the used medical equipment from the old hospital. He expressed concern about following due process to find an auctioneer for the proceedings and give local businesses a chance to earn the county’s business. Originally, the auction for the old hospital equipment was going to be conducted by the county, but at the last commissioners meeting, they voted to use the online auction service.

Govdeals.com charges a buyer premium, offering their services at no cost to Bourbon County.

“We might also owe it to the constituents of our county to get the most bang for your buck,” said an audience member at the meeting.

Whisenhunt who had also spoken to the local auction service provider, wants to get the sale done as soon as possible, and not take the time to publish for bids, which would add at least two weeks to the current timeline for the sale of the equipment. “So I guess we’re at a stalemate.”

Bob Johnson, county counsel said that a lot of counties just use an online auction service.

After going over the last meeting’s minutes and confirming the commissions decision to hire Govdeals.com at that time, Whisenhunt made motion to sign the MOU with Govdeals.com to sell the old hospital equipment, less the items going to the Mapleton clinic. Beerbower seconded and the motion passed.

Regarding local businesses working with the county, Whisenhunt said, “I would recommend that anybody that has a small business that thinks they might ever do business with the county bring their contact information to the courthouse so we have a list.”

Greg Post, representing Friends of Mapleton and the clinic there, spoke to the commission. There are six small items in the hospital equipment sale that they want to lend-lease from the county, which would be a benefit to Bourbon County residents.

Whisenhunt and Beerbower both said they would be glad to donate the items to the clinic. They instructed Johnson to draw up a donation agreement with the clinic, which will state that the items will be returned to the county if the clinic ever doesn’t need them.

Fence viewing discussion

Beerbower said that since initial discussion a few weeks ago, other citizens have contacted him about it. The statute shows that the commissioners do owe some kind of service. He suggested a designee from the county be assigned to the job. There has to be one designee per commissioner, per the statute, according to Johnson.

Beerbower said the parties asking for the commission to view their fences are in his district. Whisenhunt needs to direct someone to go in his stead, because if they both go it’s a open meeting which must be published, said Johnson.

“I’ve been representing counties for 25 years and I’ve never had this come up,” said Johnson.  He offered to put a memo together to help inform the commissioners fully of their obligations.

The item will also be on the next commission agenda.

Sheriff’s Tax Sale

Michael Hoyt spoke to the commission as a member of the Fort Scott Land Bank board. He encouraged the commission to use the services of attorney Christopher McElgunn with the firm of Klenda Austerman to conduct the county’s sales of properties with delinquent taxes.

He also advised the commission to have regular tax sales to incentivize citizens to pay their taxes and avoid loss of their property.

Susan Walker, County Clerk said that right now the county has about 150 properties ready for tax sale.

Whisenhunt made a motion to hire Klenda Austerman, an attorney at law, to handle the tax sales of properties. It was approved.

New Business

Zoning Discussion

Beerbower took over the handling of county zoning from Leroy Kruger when Kruger resigned two weeks ago. He said the county currently has two staff members, assigned by the previous commission, working on a plan. They also have some Allen County zoning examples to look at.

Beerbower has also met with a couple of citizens about the topic. “I’d like to see us go ahead an panel a group of citizens.” Preferably from each of the districts, depending on the letters of interested received. This would not be a voting panel, but for research to present a working plan to the commission. There will be zoning, this is to inform what kind of zoning it will be.

Whisenhunt asked the county was ready for this step. “I think we need to wait until we have a third person on the commission.”

An audience member spoke up to say this is only exploratory, information gathering step. It’s not an item to be voted on. Once a third commissioner is on there, then the zoning decisions can be completed. She is frustrated that no progress has been made on zoning since the new commission began.

Johnson pointed out that county employees have been working on this, it just hasn’t been public record.

Beerbower said that the work of the county employees will be a part of the information the panel uses to make their recommendations and he wants a commissioner to be on the panel as well.

“The panel would be the buffer before it comes to the commission,” said Beerbower.

Another audience member spoke up asking, “Are we doing codification or zoning?” He is against codification and wanted to know what the commissioners expect to come out of this. He also expressed concern about the scuttlebutt is that there’s a 100+ page document out there. which would indicate codification.

“Coding is not even on the table,” said Beerbower. “Zoning at its most basic is what we want.”

He said the citizen panel will provide transparency. The purpose of the zoning is to deal with industries that aren’t regulated by federal or state government and therefore need county regulation.

Beerbower made a motion to post for letters of interest to form a panel to discuss zoning research and review proposals for Bourbon County to be received by April 14. Motion was approved.

Department Updates

Laura Holdridge, Register of Deeds

The Hidden Valley Roads neighborhood wants Bourbon County to now maintain their roads. However, there is no record of an agreement with the county for that maintenance. They have done their own maintenance for at least the past 21 years. The area consists of 9 miles of roads.

The commission did not agree to take on the roads of Hidden Valley.

Land locked property

At an unspecified location in the county, J&M Land Company is denying a Mr. Cook access to his landlocked field. The original road records show a road there, but in the 1987 records they’re not there.

Cook called Whisenhunt Friday, saying he can’t get equipment through on the railroad right of way that J&M Land Company offered as access because it’s severely overgrown.

Holdridge, suggested that the county keep one small section of the road open so he can get to his property. J&M Land Company, LLC is opposed to reopening road.

Johnson said that if he’s been accessing it for more than 15 years, he has a prescriptive easement. It’s a civil matter and he will talk to the parties involved this week.

Eric Bailey from Public Works said that Cook couldn’t access it last year and it became a civil matter then.

County Cemeteries

Holdridge said there are 37 cemeteries in the county, only 2 file deeds with her office. Those cemeteries include the fees in the cost of the plots. Fees are listed on the county’s website. Statues require charging for deed filing. It is the public’s responsibility to file their deeds themselves. Her office doesn’t hold original deeds, but copies.

“There was a misunderstanding between Ms. Ethridge and myself” regarding the storage of old cemetery plot deeds, she said.

Whisenhunt says the big problem is that current cemetery boards are aging and records aren’t being kept well. They need to organize and get together to work out a system to keep track. They do need to add the cost of filing the deed to the cost of the plot. We’ve got to help some of them get updated, he said.

As the county government, we can’t make them, said Beerbower. It’s not our responsibility. The county does collect taxes for 16 of the cemeteries in the county, amounting to approximately $60,000 per year that is distributed to those cemeteries.

Eric Bailey, Public Works

60th and Grand Bridge: time to choose the construction engineer. Schwab Eaton was the bid received. They did this same job for the bridge at 160th and Fern. They helped the county apply for the grant and did the design for it. Commission gave approval to send an email to KDOT to approve Schwab Eaton. KDOT will pay for that service as part of this grant.

Good Old Days committee have a meeting coming up and want approval for the county to fetch golf carts from Lamar for the June event. Commission gave permission.

Bridge at 130th is repaired.

Elm Creek roofs had a volunteer group come forward and offer to do the roof if the county will provide the materials and a couple of employees. Approving that would bring them in under budget. Cost for material is $5,409.71. Bailey said he will find a way to make it with their budget. “We have to do something with those roofs. We’ve put it off and they’ve been neglected long enough,” he said.

Whisenhunt asked about the ditch project. “They made great progress on it,” said Bailey. It will be better when the rain lets up.

Beerbower asked about dust control service from the county. Requests must be for a minimum 300 ft, and last year the cost was $1.75 per foot. Those interested can call the office and get on the list. The county will go out with flags to mark area, then work the gravel road as best they can to get it compact and then put the oil down on it. Longevity of the dust control depends on traffic and amount of turning done on the surface.

Commissioner comments

Beerbower

Asked to attend the Fort Scott Chamber community connection panelist luncheon on April 9 at 1 pm at Empress event center.

KCCA Annual Conference in Manhattan, April 21-23, Beerbower cannot attend due to medical issues. Whisenhunt has to work. They both expressed hope that the new commissioner can go.

He added two budget discussion requests to next week’s agenda regarding juvenile detention and Kansas Mental Health. He wants to discuss what was budgeted for them and discuss amending it.

Whisenhunt

A family member expressed to him that the county should have an animal shelter. Whisenhunt suggested a partnership with a shelter that’s already in place, as it’s cost-prohibitive to start one up for the county.

 

Highschools Add “Pirate Talk” As Foreign Language Option

As high schools around the country look for ways to help students meet the two-year foreign language requirement, Fort Scott and Uniontown have come up with an innovative way to offer a new exciting option by pooling their resources to hire a new teacher for “pirate talk” classes at both highschools.

“It was really hard to find a teacher qualified to teach pirate speak,” said a school administrator who was hard to identify on this particular date. “Especially because most people who are good at speaking pirate, are usually looking for watery waves and less amber grain. But we are proud to announce that we’ve managed to procure the services of Captain Barnaby Blackwater as a teacher for the 2025 to 2026 school year.”

When asked about the compensation package offered Mr. Blackwater, the administrator seemed a big hesitant and mumbled something that sounded like “rum, doubloons, and more rum…” but it wasn’t clear exactly what they were trying to say.

Mr. Blackwater agreed to a short interview to answer some questions.

Captian Barnaby Blackwater, what convinced you to give up the high seas to come teach our high school students how to speak like a pirate?

Arrr, that be a fine question, matey! Truth be told, sailin’ the high seas be grand, but when the good folk o’ Bourbon County waved doubloons and barrels o’ their finest rum under me nose, ol’ Barnaby couldn’t resist!

Mind ye, I’m still scratchin’ me beard ’bout the notable absence o’ oceans ’round Kansas—makes sailin’ me ship, the Salty Grammar, mighty tricky—but the thought o’ teachin’ landlocked lads and lasses the sweet tongue o’ piracy warmed me black heart. And between you an’ me, I’ve a notion to recruit a few sturdy seniors to crew me ship once their diplomas be in hand! Harrr-harr-harr!

Some people say that learning pirate speak isn’t comparable to learning a foreign language and students should be required to learn more traditional languages. What do you think of those claims?

Arrrr, poppycock and bilgewater, says I! Pirate speak be as foreign as any tongue sailed across the seven seas. Why, me hearties, Pirate speak is brimmin’ with culture, tradition, and adventure—enough to put French or Spanish to shame!

Besides, when was the last time ye heard o’ French helpin’ ye find buried treasure, or Spanish teachin’ ye how to properly swing a cutlass and shout fearsome insults at yer foes, eh?

Will Pirate Speak help students get positions in the job market?

Arrr! A wise query indeed, matey! O’ course Pirate speak be useful in the job market—more useful than a parrot that can recite poetry, I’ll wager!

Think o’ the skills these young buccaneers’ll master: assertive communication (“Hand over the doubloons, ye scallywag!”), leadership (“Hoist the mainsail and ready the cannons!”), negotiation (“Five barrels o’ rum or I be walkin’ away!”), an’ teamwork (“All hands on deck, ye salty seadogs!”).

Plus, should traditional jobs fail ’em, there’s always plenty o’ room aboard me ship, the Salty Grammar. Ol’ Captain Blackwater always be lookin’ for hearty new recruits with a flair fer proper Pirate speak! Harrr-harr!

Pike Creek Reservoir To Be Funded By Wind Power

In response to local concern that the Pike Creek Reservoir couldn’t be properly paid for by the proposed funding mechanism, state leaders have come up with a contingency plan that should alleviate all concerns.

Artist conception of what the Pike Creek Reservoir will look like with the integrated wind turbines.

As an additional source of income to fund the project, large wind turbines will be built in the lake which will produce power that can be sold to the local power companies in order to fund development at the lake.  If there are extra funds, the state has some exciting ideas for additional amenities for the area.

“We’d really like to build an alligator petting zoo to help promote tourism,” said an official who asked not to be named because he only exists one day each year. “Neighboring states are seeing a massive increase in tourism with these petting zoos, and there is no reason Bourbon County couldn’t do the same.” The official also noted that most of the places that have built these tourist attractions have also seen a massive increase in the sustainability of their local emergency rooms. “In some places, they have gone from a five-bed facility to 50 beds to meet the increased demand. The growth in scale has made a lot of them able to operate profitably in areas where they have been losing money for years.”

Asked about what might might be the link between alligator petting zoos and an increase in the ER visits the official said he wasn’t sure. “I think it might have something to do with people spending more time in the area, so instead of going back home to deal with an emergency, they choose to do it near the place where their family can enjoy petting their reptile friends.”

The official said that the idea for the petting zoo came to him when reading about the snake pit in Gunn Park that was announced exactly one year ago on April 1st. “It just made me realize how important it is to people to be up close and personal with reptiles.”

He also said other potential ideas include a cannon that will launch tourists across the lake into a net on the other side, a “build-a-sub” attraction where you can try your hand at making a functioning sub to test on the deepest part of the lake, and adventure hang-gliding where you can try your skills at flying through the blades of the wind turbines.

 

Vacant Commissioner District Convention on April 5

Representation from each district is desired for the redistricting. Map from the Bourbon County website.

The Convention to replace and appoint the District 3 County Commissioner for Bourbon County will be April 5th at 9am in the Ellis Fine Arts building meeting rooms. The precinct men and women from the old District 3 will be the voting delegates.

A letter of resignation was submitted to Bourbon County by Leroy Kruger on Tuesday, March 18,  and forwarded to the Kansas Governor’s Office.

According to Jennifer Hawkins, Bourbon County Deputy Clerk, the Bourbon County Republican Party has 21 days from the day they receive the notice of vacancy from the Governor’s Office to appoint someone to the seat.

The Bourbon County District 3 Appointment Area is defined as the area designated as District 3 (prior to the geographical redistricting done to increase the Bourbon County commissioner total from three to five). District three is the pink district on the map.

Interested Republican residents of Bourbon County District 3 seeking to fill the county commission seat should send a letter of interest with qualifications, rationale, and reasons why they should be selected to: Kaety Bowers, Chairwoman, email bourbon.county.republicans@gmail.com. The deadline is Thursday, April 3, 2025 by 5pm.

Any questions regarding your address and its location within the district should be directed to Susan Walker, Bourbon County Clerk; phone 620-223-3800 ext. 191.

The Republican Party will certify the appointment with the Governor’s Office who will then approve the appointment and issue a certificate of office to the new appointee.

The individual appointed will not be able to conduct business as a County Commissioner until they receive their certificate from the Governor’s Office.

Hawkins has been keeping a file of resignations for the past two years, and remembers other resignations of commissioners during her 11 years of working for the county.
