Official Statement from the Bourbon County Election Office – November 5, 2025

2025 City/School General Election

The following was taken from the Bourbon County website, this morning.

“Although the release of election results was not as immediate as in previous years, I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to Amber Page, Deputy Election Clerk, for her tireless commitment to accuracy and integrity of our election process. We worked diligently to ensure that all ballots were counted, and all audits completed prior to the publication of the unofficial results.

This election cycle included an unusually high number of write-in votes. Each write-in ballot was meticulously hand-counted and verified within our election software to uphold the highest standards of election accuracy.

The Bourbon County Election Office remains committed to maintaining transparent communication with our residents regarding election procedures and the importance of ensuring reliable and verifiable outcomes. Please note that advance ballots postmarked by Election Day, November 4, 2025, will be accepted through November 7, 2025. The official canvassing of votes is scheduled for Monday, November 10, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., at 210 S. National Avenue.

I would also like to extend endless appreciation to Jennifer Hawkins, previous County Clerk and Current County Treasurer for continually guiding Amber and I through our first election. Furthermore, I wish to express my deep appreciation to the citizens of Bourbon County for their patience and understanding, as well as to the many volunteers who serve selflessly during each election cycle.

About the Bourbon County Election Office
The Bourbon County Election Office is committed to upholding public trust through integrity, accountability, and continuous improvement in all election processes.

Susan E. Walker

Bourbon County Clerk & Chief Election Officer”

FS Washateria Provides Donated Clothing To Those In Need

Leave a comment
Fort Scott Washateria also houses Fort Scott Community Closet.

Submitted by Linda Lovelace, owner

 

As we go into the colder time of the year, I want to take the time to remind Fort Scott of the Fort Scott Community Closet.

This is Lori Lovelace, owner of  Fort Scott Washateria and Fort Scott Community Closet,  located at 501 S National.

We have been providing clothing, coats and other items to those in need of them with the help of the generous folks of this community for six years now.

I want to say a special thanks to St. Mary’s school and Mary Queen of Angels Church who have supported us year after year with coat and clothing drives.  We have coats right now along with clothing for any who are in need.

We don’t ask what your circumstances are, we have no income or other requirements, we take in the clothing and other items and give them out, no questions asked.

We can do this because of YOU, Fort Scott.

We are currently bringing out coats and they are hanging on a rack in the Washateria, if you need a coat, come in and check out what we have.  We are putting out coats as they are given away so if you don’t find one that fits, stop by again.

The Closet is open Mon-Fri 10-6 if you would like to go through our tubs of clothes as well.  To those who are sorting through clothes looking to donate, our most requested items are children’s clothing of all sizes, adult t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, sweat pants, jeans, coats,

County Commissioners Discuss Noise Ordinance in Work Session

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

The Bourbon County Commission discussed the proposed noise ordinance in a work session on Nov. 3. They held a work session rather than a regular meeting because the clerk’s office was unavailable to record the meeting due to elections.

Commissioner Samuel Tran gave an update on the bitcoin mining noise issue that the commission has been discussing for several weeks. He was at a meeting with the owners of the generator and legal counsel on the property where the generator is housed. Some citizens were nearby, but not allowed on the property.

He said the decibel reading was 58 dB at the gate, which is lower than earlier reported readings. “It was noticeably quieter,” Tran said, than on his previous visits. He asked if the generator was operating at a full load. He was told it was.

Commissioner David Beerbower said that the sheriff’s department reported to him that during subsequent checks after the meeting, the volume “went back up.”

Tran said he spoke to the county’s legal counsel about the noise resolution at some length. He has no issues with creating a resolution, but questions whether or not it’s enforceable. It should be enforced by a planning committee. He expressed concern that the commission is at risk of passing a watered-down resolution that may come across as  way too broad and capricious in its fines or penalties.

Beerbower said he was continuing to work on the resolution, but sees the planning commission getting involved to repeal or amend it as needed. He said a noise resolution is needed now, and the planning commission has a lot on its plate at this time.

Candlelight Tour At The Fort Is Carrying On, Although Reduced, On December 5-6

1 Comment
Fort Scott National Historic Site glows during the annual candlelight tour event. This photo is from 2019.

The U.S. federal government shut down on Oct. 1,, 2025 after lawmakers failed to resolve a budget deadlock, halted some federal operations, according to    https://www.ncsl.org/in-dc/federal-government-shutdown-what-it-means-for-states-and-programs Triggered by partisan clashes over funding beyond Sept. 30, the shutdown has created uncertainty for many federal programs.

The local Fort Scott National Historic Site is a government facility.

The annual Candlelight Tour at the Fort has a Friends of the Fort Scott National Historic Site group that is providing press releases and ticket sales for the event during the shutdown.

They are doing their best to make it happen, although reduced in scope, according to Matthew Wells, president of the Friends organization.

They will put out the candles on the walkways of the fort and there may be a few vignettes of life on the prairie in the fort.

“My wife and family may have a vignette,” said Friends of the Fort President Matthew Wells. “We love doing it and love the fort.”

“Our main goal is to get the candles out for the people to enjoy the beautiful fort,” he said.

“We don’t believe we have time to learn the scripts and music, etc.,” with the buildings being closed for the shutdown, he said. “The government isn’t open to do any of it.”

The Fort’s employees are government employees,

But as in years past, on  November 1, 2025, tickets for Fort Scott National Historic Site’s 44th Annual Candlelight Tour went on sale.

The group is  doing the preliminary work to have the event and will be providing music and refreshments, as in the past.

However, how you purchase your ticket is changing for the event this year.

The following information is from the Friends of the Fort organization, via a press release:

Tickets are available by three sources;

1)  log onto fofs.ludus.com to make your payment,

2) contact the Chamber of Commerce in Fort Scott, 231 E. Wall.

3) If the shutdown ends, tickets can be picked up at the fort’s visitor center on Old Fort Boulevard, just north of Fort Scott’s downtown area.

Tickets are $5 per person and are non-refundable; children, 5 and under, are free.

It is recommended that you get your tickets early to ensure your choice of tour times, as this event frequently sells out.

The 44th Annual Candlelight Tour is Friday and Saturday, December 5 and 6, 2025.

Tours on December 5 will begin at 6:30 pm and leave every 15 minutes until 9 pm.

On Saturday, December 6, the tours will start at 5 pm with the final tour leaving at 9 pm. Please arrive 10 minutes early to allow time to park, present/pick up your ticket, and get oriented.

Participants are advised to please dress for the weather and conditions, as the tour will be outside and on sidewalks.

 

1,000 candle lanterns illuminate the site, and re-enactors (including you) bring the fort to life. During the tour, you will be immersed in ways people have overcome and learned from challenges and new experiences in Fort Scott.

Depending on the end of the Government shutdown, it may look different this year than years past, but we encourage you to come enjoy the beauty of the Historic site in candlelight, according to the press release.

National parks remain as accessible as possible during the federal government shutdown. However, some services may be limited or unavailable. For more information, please visit: doi.gov/shutdown

KS Tax Collections Up 7.5% Above Estimate

1 Comment

October Total Tax Collections at $695.6 Million; 7.2% Above Estimate

TOPEKA – The State of Kansas ends October 2025 with total tax collections at $695.6 million. That is $47.0 million, or 7.2%, above the estimate. Total tax collections were up 4.1% from October 2024.

“While this month’s tax collections indicate some good news, corporate income tax collections have significantly missed the mark, which is concerning,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “My administration will continue to monitor revenues and prioritize fiscal responsibility as I craft my Fiscal Year 2027 budget proposal.”

Individual income tax collections were $367.4 million. That is $67.4 million, or 22.5% above the estimate. Individual income tax collections were up 17.9% from October 2024. Corporate income tax collections were $15.9 million. That is $24.1 million, or 60.2% below the estimate, and down 58.2% from October 2024.

Combined retail sales and compensating use tax receipts were $289.5 million, which is $3.5 million, or 1.2% above the estimate, and down 1.7% from October 2024.

November SNAP Payments Statement

Leave a comment

Kansas Department for Children and Families Issues Statement on USDA’s Court Filing Announcing the Decision to Make Reduced November SNAP Payments

TOPEKA – In a federal court filing on Monday, Nov. 3, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said it plans to send out partial SNAP benefits in November using the SNAP contingency fund. The filing said the USDA will first send each state official notice showing how much each existing SNAP household should receive. Right now, the Kansas Department for Children and Families (DCF) has not received this information. Once it does, DCF will determine next steps to issue the partial payments and communicate when Kansas SNAP recipients can expect to receive them.

More information will be shared as it becomes available. To keep Kansans updated, DCF has created a webpage on its website, dcf.ks.gov, with information about the government shutdown and impacts to DCF programs. The page includes a list of questions and answers and will be updated as new information becomes available.

Help for Kansans

For Kansans in need of additional support, Kansas Food Source, kansasfoodsource.org, and Harvesters.org provide locations of food banks and food pantries across the state. Other non-state entities helping connect Kansans to resources in their community include: the United Way’s 211 hotline or website, 211.org; 1-800-CHILDREN, 1800childrenks.com;  Unite Kansas, uniteus.com/networks/kansas/get-help; and FindHelp, findhelp.org.

The loss of federal funding places additional stress on Kansas food banks, pantries, and meals programs, which are already strained to meet the needs of those who utilize them. Kansans wishing to help their local food resources can find those locations on the Kansas Food Source website, kansasfoodsource.org.

Road Closed on 690th Avenue Northeast Of Walnut Beginning Mid-November

Road in Crawford County to be closed for bridge replacement

Road in Crawford County to be closed for bridge replacement

Bridge on 690th Avenue

Road in Crawford County to be closed for bridge replacement

WALNUT – A Crawford County road northeast of Walnut will be closed beginning in mid-November so a contractor can replace a bridge, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation.

The bridge is on 690th Avenue, which is a mile north of K-146 and just west of 30th Street. The gravel road will be closed throughout the project, which is expected to be completed in the early spring of 2026, conditions permitting.

A tributary of Little Walnut Creek flows through the box culvert bridge. The new bridge will be 26 feet long and will feature 12-foot driving lanes.

Governor Laura Kelly and KDOT Secretary Calvin Reed announced $42.3 million in funding for this and 34 other bridge projects in 2023 through the KDOT Off-System Bridge program and the Kansas Local Bridge Improvement Program. The programs target improvements to city and county bridges not on the state highway system and in need of replacement and repair. Projects, in most cases, require matching local funding.

B&B Bridge Company LLC, of St. Paul, is the contractor for the $484,474.50 bridge replacement.

KDOT urges motorists to stay alert and follow posted signs in all work zones. Check KDOT’s updated traveler information website, www.Kandrive.gov, for more highway condition and construction details. For updates on construction projects in southeast Kansas, visit ksdot.gov/southeastnews.
