Dr. Tim Crawford’s dental office, Family Dental, plans to move from its current location on South Main Street to the building at Wall and Main Streets within a few months.

“Construction on historic Fort Scott buildings is slow,” Crawford said.

Crawford and his staff hosted a Fort Scott Chamber Coffee at the new site on September 27.

He spoke to the crowd in the reception room of his new office.

“I’m excited to be downtown for accessibility,” Crawford told the coffee attendees. “We hope to be open in a few months.”

Dental services offered are implants, oral surgery, pediatrics, “Everything you want to be done at a dentist.”

Fort Scott City Manager Dave Martin thanked Crawford for moving his office downtown and taking on the renovation of a historic building.

“I know you run into things that throw you behind,” Martin said.

The Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes hosted the weekly coffee for the Fort Scott Chamber of Commerce Sept. 6.

Director Norm Conard said this the 12th year in Fort Scott for the center and the third year in their new facility at the corner of Main and Wall Streets in the historic district.

About 10,000 visitors came to the center last year, he said.

Cathy Werling, an administrative assistant at the center and children’s book author, announced that she is completing a book on Irena Sendler.

“It will open with Megan (Felt, the program director at LMC for Unsung Heroes) and her daughter, Blair,” Werling said. “About Megan going on a trip to do a performance (of Life in a Jar). It tells the story of Irena Sendler. Blair learns Irena was a brave person who stood up for what is right.”

Werling, is the author of Why Did Grandpa Cry? and Why Did Sergeant Stubby Go To War? which also featured unsung hero stories.
