Nominations Open for 2024 Minority, Women Enterprise Development Awards

Leave a comment

 

TOPEKA – Today Lieutenant Governor and Department of Commerce Secretary David Toland announced a call for nominations for the 2024 Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week Awards. These annual awards are one way the agency acknowledges and observes the growing impact that minority- and women-led companies have on their communities and the Kansas economy.

“There are many amazing businesses and businesspeople working hard and making exceptional contributions throughout our state,” Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. “Taking time to celebrate and congratulate minority- and women-owned businesses and their work is important as they are critical to keeping the Kansas economy vibrant and growing.”

Presented by the Office of Minority and Women Business Development (MWBD), the awards are given to minority- and women-owned businesses in 14 different categories (see complete list here), including the Governor’s Distinguished Business Award winner. Introduced last year, this is the highest honor the state awards at this event to a company or individual for their contributions.

“Our theme, ‘Heritage to Legacy,’ embodies the journey of Kansas businesses, rooted in tradition, yet paving the way for a prosperous future,” Office of Minority and Women Business Development Taylor Overton said. “Throughout the evening, we will honor the resilience, innovation and contributions of minority- and women-owned businesses, acknowledging their role in shaping the economy.”

MED Week is celebrated to recognize the more than 9.2 million minority businesses that continue to support the U.S. economy and generate over $1.8 trillion in revenue. Minority- and women-owned businesses translates into the creation and maintenance of jobs. They sustain the individual worker and contribute to the economic security for families, as well as the economic vitality of their communities and of the nation.

To nominate a business or person (self-nominations accepted), click here. Nominations will be accepted through July 12.

The Office of MWBD will recognize all nominees and winners at a special event this fall. Danielle Martin, television and podcast host, will be the emcee. More details will be announced at a later date. Companies interested in sponsoring the event can find more information here.

Obituary

Obituary of Raymond Tucker

Leave a comment


Raymond L. Tucker of rural Fort Scott, Kansas passed into rest at his home early on April 5, 2024.He was born the first of three sons to Dave and Joanne Tucker on March 17, 1949. Raymond attended the Fort Scott school system, Fort Scott Community College, and Pittsburg State University. He joined the Army National Guard and served for five years.

 

While other little boys said they wanted to grow up to be cowboys, Raymond meant it. He and his brother Tom started buying, selling, and trading horses at an early age. Although he raised cattle in the past and did order buying for many years for large cattle feeding operations, his passion was horses. Whether the market was good or bad, that is where he wanted to be. He never met a gray or roan horse that he did not want to own.

 

Raymond married Diann Cook in Fort Scott on June 28, 1970. Together they had four sons, Scott, Steven, Brad, and Blake. He loved them dearly and was so proud of them. He is survived by his wife Diann, son Scott of Cleveland, Missouri, Steven and Jessica of Spring Hill, Kansas, Brad and Meredith of Fort Scott, Kansas, and Blake and Cass of Fort Scott, Kansas. Most precious to him were his grandchildren, Kelsie, Brett, Mallory, Ava, Gus, Newton, and Walker. They brought him great joy. He is also survived by his brothers Tom and wife Brenda of Humansville, Missouri, Terry and wife Janet of Fort Scott, Kansas. He is survived by many nieces and nephews, as well as many special cousins and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents Dave and Joanne Tucker.

 

Raymond’s lifelong hero was Roy Rogers. Roy Rogers always fought for what was right and protected those around him. He was one of the good guys. At the end of the Saturday morning TV episodes, Roy always told the little buckaroos to mind your Mom and Dad, eat all your vegetables, and say your prayers. Raymond was very compassionate and always prayed for children in need, people who were sick, and those in war torn countries.

 

Funeral services will be held Wednesday, April 10, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. at the Cheney Witt Funeral Chapel, with burial directly following at Evergreen Cemetery in Fort Scott, Kansas.

Visitation will be held from 5:00-7:00pm Tuesday, April 9, 2024, at Cheney Witt Funeral Chapel.

Memorial contributions in honor of Raymond are requested to be made to our local Wreaths Across America. Donations may be mailed to PO Box 937 Fort Scott, KS 66701.  Words of remembrance may be submitted online at chenewitt.com.

Lansing Correctional Facility Inmate Has Escaped Update

Leave a comment

The escapee has been apprehended.

Minimum-custody resident Bradley G. Verstraete escaped from Lansing Correctional Facility

~Verstraete, 54, reported missing Sunday night~

LANSING, Kansas. –

Minimum-custody resident Bradley G. Verstraete was placed on escape status at approximately 9:00 p.m. after it was reported that he walked away from Lansing Correctional Facility on Sunday, April 7, 2024.

Verstraete, a 54-year-old white male, was reported missing when the resident could not be located at the minimum-security unit. This walkaway does not impact the security or operations of the medium-maximum secure compound.

Verstraete is serving a 102-month sentence for convictions of attempted murder in the 2nd degree and aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer that occurred in 2017 in Pratt County.

Verstraete is 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 130 pounds. He has Hazel eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing blue jean jacket, blue jeans, and red hat. His hair was in a ponytail, and he had a goatee-style beard.

Anyone with information on Verstraete can call the Kansas Department of Corrections at 913-727-3235 ext. 58224, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation at (800) 572-7463, or local law enforcement at 911.

The walk-away is currently being investigated.  New information will be released as it becomes available.

The Lansing Correctional Facility, formerly the Kansas State Penitentiary, opened in 1867. The facility serves only males and maintains maximum and medium units totaling 1,920 beds and a 512-bed minimum security unit.

Stuck in the Shower by Carolyn Tucker

Leave a comment

Keys to the Kingdom

By Carolyn Tucker

 

 

After finishing my shower, I grabbed the handle to one of the sliding double doors but it wouldn’t open. I tried the other door and it wouldn’t budge either. Both doors were off the track. So I was home alone and stuck in the shower. It was weird that I couldn’t even call anyone although I had no idea who I would call anyway, considering the circumstances. I thought about crawling out over the top but, at my age, that wasn’t a smart idea. There was a slight temptation to panic, but I knew in my heart that my life simply was not going to end like this. I know of a virtuoso pianist who had a heart attack while playing, fell off the bench and died. That would be a more-honorable way to go than naked and shriveled in a shower stall. So I kept fiddling with the doors, prayed for “know how,” and managed to get both off-track doors back on track.

 

I don’t think anyone will argue that life occasionally tries to dump panic, worry, anxiety, and fear on us. Jesus was well acquainted with life down here and that’s why He did His best to teach us how to handle it. My brother, who passed away in 2022, has the following motto engraved on his headstone: “This too shall pass.” It’s encouraging to know that negative circumstances will not, and cannot, last forever.

 

Since the latter part of 2014, the scriptures regarding worry have been extremely vital to me. “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7 NLT). Satan is always tempting believers to panic and worry about big things and little things. It makes no difference to him, just so we’re miserable and fresh out of peace. Paul wrote to the believers in Philippi admonishing them not to worry about anything. We’re supposed to pray and tell God all about it, then  thank Him for working things out, and move forward in peace. Before we RIP, believers are supposed to live in peace. Ain’t nobody got time to live in routine anxiety and panic.

 

God is patiently waiting for us to invite Him into our difficult circumstances so He can roll up His sleeves and resolve it. Just think how you would feel if your best friend had a need but didn’t ask for your help. For example, my dear friend asked if she could borrow a largish amount of flatware and dinnerware for her son’s graduation dinner party. I was very happy to lend these items to her because I love her. God is the same way — He loves us and wants to help us when we struggle with cares. God’s unfailing love expels the darkness of worry and panic like a thousand torches.

 

I find comfort, peace, and hope in this scripture: “I cast the whole of my care [all my anxieties, all my worries, all my concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for me affectionately and cares about me watchfully” (1 Peter 5:7 AMP). Don’t let worry take a front-row seat in your mind — just shove it out the door and give it a swift kick. No matter what you may be going through today, there is power and grace from the heavenly Father to make you into a peaceful overcomer. Just ask Him to help you and then act like His Word is true. I double-dog dare you to throw away your Worrywart button.

 

The Key: Let’s adopt the motto, “No Worries” and act like God is not a liar.
