The Lowell Milken Center Breaks Ground for New Unsung Heroes Park

Construction on the Lowell Milken Center’s new Unsung Heroes Park has officially begun, with groundbreaking taking place Tuesday, June 29, 2021, at 11:00 a.m.

With this much-anticipated expansion to the center and an opportunity to be part of Fort Scott’s downtown revitalization, the Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes is anxious to share this newest resource with both the community and the many visitors that come to Fort Scott.

“We are so proud of our latest addition to the Lowell Milken Center and to downtown Fort Scott,” said Norm Conard, the executive director. “Our vision is to have an impact on our community and the entire region in many different and positive ways. We appreciate the benevolent funding from the Lowell Milken Family Foundation and other significant contributions from generous donors such as Timken and others.”

The Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes (LMC) completed its main building in 2016 at the corner of Fort Scott’s Wall and Main Streets.

In 2018, a park was begun in the adjacent space south of the building in conjunction with members of the city’s park committee: Beth Nuss, Elaine Buerge, Carolyn Sinn, and Bernita Hill.

The LMC will now complete the park, called the “Unsung Heroes Park,” featuring outdoor Unsung Hero exhibits with interactive story rails, a walking trail, an enhanced water feature, and beautiful landscaping with bench seating.

The objectives of the park are to provide a place for visitors to enjoy the pleasant outdoor scenery, learn about unsung heroes, and offer a centralized community gathering space for programs and activities, while also complementing the downtown area.

The new Lowell Milken Center’s Unsung Heroes Park is expected to be completed in mid-August by Dreamscape Innovations, Inc.

The park will also feature the talents of teachers who have visited Fort Scott as past LMC Fellows and have helped design the park exhibits that will share new stories of Unsung Heroes.

To learn more about the Center and its stories and programs visit www.lowellmilkencenter.org and keep up with current events and announcements on their Facebook page, www.facebook.com/LowellMilkenCenter.

According to Community Development Manager Allyson Turvey, “The Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes is truly one of the great assets of Fort Scott and enriches our entire community. We are so thrilled to see the addition of the Unsung Heroes Park which will create a vibrant green space in our historic downtown and will benefit not only our local community but the thousands of tourists that visit Fort Scott each year.”

Since its inception, the Lowell Milken Center locally has hosted over 80,000 visitors from every state in the country and has impacted over 2 million students through its various programs.

The LMC was established in 2007 and has expanded its reach nationally to include international programs and visitors from 102 countries to the LMC in Fort Scott.

The Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes is an educational non-profit that discovers, develops and communicates the stories of Unsung Heroes.

Independence Day Celebrations at Uniontown and Fort Scott

Fireworks over the Union State Bank, Uniontown, 2019. Submitted by Amy Holt.

Fort Scott and Uniontown residents will celebrate Independence Day on July 3.

If your community is having a celebration, please send information to [email protected] for publication of events.

Union State Bank is sponsoring the 16th Annual Independence Day Celebration at Uniontown City Park on Saturday, July 3.

“We are excited to bring this event back since it was canceled last year,” said Amy Holt, Vice President of Loan Administration at Union State Bank, said. “This is a customer appreciation event, but we encourage the whole community, surrounding area, and friends and family to bring a lawn chair and enjoy the evening and fireworks display.”

Events will kick off at 6:30 p.m. with fireworks beginning at dark.

“We have invited singer/songwriter, Kyle Sexton to come back and perform for us,” she said. ” We will also have inflatables and a selfie bar again for the kids to enjoy.”

School organizations and vendors will be in the park that evening, she said, and additionally, there will be a bake sale, drinks, popcorn, snow cones, and cotton candy for purchase.

Union State Bank is serving FREE hotdogs, chips, and water beginning at 7 p.m. or until they are all gone, she said.

“We are discouraging any personal fireworks in the downtown area of Uniontown,” as a safety precaution, she said.

“Union State Bank has been serving the community for over 120 years, and we enjoy hosting this event,” Holt said.

 

Fort Scott’s Independence Day Celebration

The Elk’s / Community Fireworks will be July 3 and begin at dark at Fort Scott Community College’s lake.
“I usually pay attention to how dark it is getting a few days ahead and set the time but between 9:15 and 9:30 p.m.,” Bill Britain, spokesperson for the Elks Club, said.
“The show will be set to music and played on KOMB Radio, 103.9,” he said.
“As usual, the fireworks will be shot from behind FSCC by the back ballfields and of course the public cannot go back that way for safety reasons,” he said.
“The Elk’s have coordinated this event for the past 25 years or so,” Brittain said.
“This year’s show should be the best we have ever had,” he said. ” “Last year we had a bad storm come through,  the shooters did not get the fireworks protected fast enough and it was a total loss!
We have worked with the fireworks company to have a better show this year because of that!”
This event is for the entire community and it takes the community to put this on, he said.

FS Fireworks Rules Clarified

Fireworks light the evening sky.
The City of Fort Scott recently wanted to clarify the ordinance on fireworks, with Independence Day celebrations just around the corner.
“The change came when we looked at the ordinance the city had which just stated a basic fire code,” said FS Deputy Fire Chief Mike Miles, who is also the fire marshall. “It did not give any directions or guidance. So we wanted to give the city and law enforcement as well as the citizens a better understanding.”
“The biggest change is now residents can shoot fireworks from the time (firework) retailers are able to sell,” he said. “It used to just be the 4th of July. Now they can shoot from June  27 to July 4th.  Time frames are 7:00 am to 10:00 pm. And up to midnight on the 4th.”
There was a change to prohibit fireworks in city parks.
 “There are also other locations we chose to enforce no shooting during the firework display the city puts on,” Miles said.  “All city parks are also prohibited from shooting at.”
“The ordinance just gives the basic concepts of firework discharging,” he said.  “This also gives a better understanding with the circumstances spelled out. Law enforcement with this ordinance has a better way to enforce the policies.  The previous ordinance just stated a fire code, which was pretty vague.”

The ground breaking : an American city and its search for justice
by Scott Ellsworth

“The definitive, newsbreaking account of the ongoing investigation into the Tulsa race massacre In the late spring of 1921, Tulsa, Oklahoma, erupted into the worst single incident of racial violence in American history. Over the course of sixteen hours, mobs of white men and women looted and burned to the ground a prosperous African American community, known today as Black Wall Street. More than one thousand homes and businesses were destroyed, and scores, possibly hundreds, of people lost their lives. Then, for nearly a half century, the story of the massacre was actively suppressed. Official records disappeared, history textbooks ignored the tragedy, and citizens were warned to keep silent. Now nearly one hundred years after that horrible day, historian Scott Ellsworth returns to his hometown to tell the untold story of how America’s foremost hidden racial tragedy was finally brought to light, and the unlikely cast of characters that made it happen. Part true-crime saga, part archaeological puzzle, andpart investigative journalism, The Ground Breaking weaves in and out of recent history, the distant past, and the modern day to tell a compelling story of a city-and a nation-struggling to come to terms with the dark corners of its past”
