Obituary of Craig McKenney

Leave a comment

Craig M. McKenney. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Craig Marshall McKenney, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Craig, age 72, of Fort Scott, Kansas, passed away on June 4, 2025, at the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota. Born on October 23, 1952, in Lawrence, Kansas, he was the son of Lloyd James McKenney and Myla O. McKenney, who preceded him in death along with his cherished daughter, Parker Lea McKenney.

 

Craig is survived by his wife, Dana Marshall McKenney, whom he married on June 29, 1990, in Estes Park, Colorado. He leaves behind a legacy of love in his children: Angela Michelle McKenney, Fort Scott, KS; Reece Marshall McKenney, Fort Scott, KS; and Andrew Marshall Suddock, Wichita, KS. His grandchildren, William “Kieran” Houlihan and Colin Michael Houlihan, were the lights of his life, bringing joy and laughter to his days. He is also survived by his brothers, Michael McKenney, Mark (Cindy) McKenney, Timothy (Deb) McKenney, Patrick (Kathy) McKenney, sister Lisa (Keith) Proctor, and many nieces and nephews who held a special place in his heart. Craig’s cousins, Marsha, Dan, & Steve also cherished him deeply.

 

Craig was a proud member of the Fort Scott High School graduating class of 1970 and continued his education at Pittsburg State University. His career was marked by a dedication to restoring and preserving historic buildings, a passion that grew into a lifelong vocation. President of MCM Restoration for many decades, he took pride in preservation, conservation, and restoration of countless structures across the United States leaving a tangible mark on the community he loved.

 

A devoted member of the First Presbyterian Church, Craig served as an elder, contributing to the community with steadfast faith and kindness. His commitment extended to the Elks Lodge, where he formed lasting friendships and shared countless memories. He was also one of the founders of Fort Scott Lumber, a venture that showcased his entrepreneurial spirit. A compassionate man, Craig organized and smoked 300 racks of ribs, raising over $5,800 for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, embodying his generous spirit.

 

In his leisure, Craig found joy in cooking for his family and friends, particularly grilling and smoking meat. He cherished boating and pheasant hunting adventures. He loved engaging in great conversations at the farm after a long day’s work and held a keen interest in learning to fly airplanes. His resilience, kindness, and loving nature made him a pillar of strength in his community.

 

Craig’s funeral service will be held on Friday, June 13, 2025, at 11:00 AM at the First Presbyterian Church, where he shared many moments of faith and fellowship.

Visitation will begin at 10:00 AM, prior to the service.

Burial will follow at the Evergreen Cemetery, Fort Scott, KS. Services are under the direction of the Konantz-Cheney Funeral Home.

 

All are welcome to join in honoring and celebrating his life. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Parker Lea McKenney Memorial FFA Scholarship at Fort Scott Community College, honoring the memory of his beloved daughter.

 

As we remember Craig, we hold dear the special moments we shared with him—his laughter, his love, and his unwavering support. To all the wonderful friends and colleagues he encountered throughout his life, he appreciated each of you and the impact you made in his world. Craig will be profoundly missed but forever remembered in our hearts.

 

 

 

Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes

Theresa Cantwell Named 2025 National Lowell Milken Center Fellow

Leave a comment

This is part of a series featuring 2025 National Lowell Milken Center Fellows who will be here the week of June 15

 

Theresa Cantwell Named

 2025 National Lowell Milken Center Fellow

 

FORT SCOTT, KS – June 1, 2025 – The Lowell Milken Center (LMC) for Unsung Heroes in Fort Scott, Kansas, an international educational non-profit, has awarded its prestigious Fellowship to Theresa Cantwell, a Social Studies teacher at Jericho Middle School in Jericho, NY. Theresa will arrive in Fort Scott on June 15th for a week of collaboration with LMC staff and the other members of the Fellowship.

 

The LMC Fellowship is a merit-based award for educators of all disciplines who value the importance of teaching respect and understanding through project-based learning. The Center selects exemplary teachers from the United States and around the world who will collaborate on projects that discover, develop, and communicate the stories of Unsung Heroes in history.

 

Theresa is an 8th-grade social studies teacher and the history research coordinator at Jericho Middle School. She and her students have won multiple national awards in history competitions, including the Lowell Milken Center National Discovery Award. Theresa and her students also received awards in National History Day competitions and the New York State Archives Student Research Awards. She was recently recognized as the Long Island History Day Teacher of the Year on March 27, 2025.

 

History research is a popular program at Jericho Middle School, where Theresa has taught for 33 years and has been the Jericho Schools’ history research coordinator for the past decade. She empowers students to conduct real research, analyze complex topics, and to give voice to stories that are too often forgotten or deliberately erased. Jericho Schools were recognized by the Lowell Milken Center as winners of the Outstanding School Award in October of 2024.

 

LMC Executive Director Norm Conard says, “Theresa inspires her students to explore history in new ways and has led their development of winning projects in both the LMC National Discovery Award and National History Day competitions. Her leadership skills and expertise in project-based learning will be a valuable resource to share with our 2025 team of Fellows. We look forward to continued outstanding Unsung Hero projects from Theresa’s students.”

 

While in Fort Scott, LMC Fellows gain knowledge, educational resources, and support in helping students cultivate a passion for learning by creating projects that initiate positive change. Fellows will be equipped to develop Unsung Heroes projects with their students, applying and evaluating the stories of these role models who have changed the world throughout history.

Charley McKay: New Sharpener Services in Fort Scott

1 Comment
Charley McKay, from his Facebook page.

Need a blade upgraded? Charley McKay can do it.

About two years ago,  McKay moved to Fort Scott from Hutchinson and found he needed something to do with his time.

His son-in-law, Kale Nelson, had some chainsaw blades that needed sharpening, so McKay worked on them.

Nelson then told some of his friends about the service, and this turned into a new business, called Sharpen It.

He can sharpen “about anything with a blade”, McKay said. “Knives, chainsaws, lawnmowers, Dado… about anything, I have a sharpener for it.”

Before he retired in 2001, he was a refrigeration and air conditioning serviceman in Hutchinson. “Then I worked as a bus driver for Nickerson School District for 14 years before I moved here.”

Most people bring the items that need to be sharpened to his workshop at 738 Osbun, on Fort Scott’s northwest side of town.

“If I have to pick it up, I charge about $1, depending on how far I have to go,” he said.

His sharpening prices: $4-12 for knives, $6-12 for chainsaws, and $5 a piece for lawnmower blades.

“I always make sure that I charge a little cheaper than what’s normal,” he said.

“It might be a day or two out before I get to it,” he said.

However, he said he provides the added service of cleaning the blades before sharpening.

This week is McKay’s vacation, but you can text him at 620.960.6059 and leave a message with your phone number for him to call back.

McKay’s sharpening business, Sharpen It, is at his residence. Submitted photo.

Stand By Your Man by Carolyn Tucker

Keys to the Kingdom By Carolyn Tucker

Stand by Your Man

 

I have innumerable memories and life experiences that are connected with music. When I was around two years old, my family lived in southern California. When we went to the ocean, the four of us had to walk across storefronts to get to the beach. On one of these excursions, my parents noticed that I had fallen behind and wasn’t with the rest of the family. Mom had to walk back to the beer joint and get me because I had stopped to dance to the music that filtered out the open door. Little kids don’t have to be taught how to dance. They simply do it naturally…and gleefully.

 

When couples marry, they bring to the holy union boxes of stuff from their single days. Two items I specifically recall that my late husband brought to our marriage in 1980 was a shoebox full of cassette tapes. When Elvis died in 1977, Jimmy listened to the radio and taped the Elvis songs that the DJ played. This box also contained a cassette of Tammy Wynette which included her #1 hit song, “Stand by Your Man.”

 

One of the best Old Testament examples of loyal friendship is between Jonathan and his armor bearer (who isn’t mentioned by name). The Philistines were at war with Israel during King Saul’s reign. One day Jonathan (son of Saul) said to his armor bearer, “Let’s go across to the outpost of those pagans. Perhaps the Lord will help us, for nothing can hinder the Lord. He can win a battle whether He has many warriors or only a few!” (1 Samuel 14:6 NLT).

 

I really like the supportive attitude of Jonathan’s young attendant. He knew what it meant to “Stand by Your Friend.” “His armor bearer said to him, ’Do everything that is in your heart; turn yourself to it, and here I am with you, as your heart desires‘” (1 Samuel 14:7 NASB). He could have rattled off 20 reasons why two warriors shouldn’t engage in fighting a military garrison of Philistine soldiers. Instead, he joined with Jonathan and together they quickly made a brave attack, overwhelming and killing about 20 of the enemy. Their victory proved then, and now, that God is greater than circumstances. Jonathan’s bold words of faith expressed His confidence in God, Who then enabled this fighting duo to overcome immense odds.

 

I want to be a loyal friend like Jonathan’s armor bearer. He said, “Here I am with you.”  Jonathan was encouraged by his attendant’s promise to stand by him and follow him wherever he went. We all know what it means when a friend says, “I’ve got your back.” He/she will not turn his/her back on you. A loyal friend is there for the long haul. It’s been said that in order to have a friend, you must be a friend. It might be a  challenge to keep the unspoken promise to stand by your friend through thick and thin, but do it anyway. Having a friend to defend is worth fighting for.

 

A loyal friend is supportive, trustworthy, confidential, and honest with you. A friend stands by you, defends you in your absence, and helps you out in times of stress and strain. A friend will laugh and cry with you, comfort you, and pray for you. A friend will think the best of you when you stumble and fall, and will lend a hand to help you stand.  A loyal friend will throw out the lifeline when you’re going down for the third time.

 

The Key: Stand by your friend until the very end.

A Summer Adventure: Your Town, Your Treasure

Leave a comment

 

As the days grow longer and the sun warms our sidewalks, there’s a familiar buzz in the air: summer is here, and with it comes opportunity.

It’s more than just a season—it’s a moment when our community shines its brightest. The farmers’ market hums with local produce. Sidewalk cafes fill with neighbors and newcomers alike. Downtown shops welcome foot traffic that brings stories, laughter, and support.

Summer tourism may feel like a visitor’s game, but it’s actually a community team effort. Every family that stops at the splash pad, every couple who books a B&B or grabs ice cream on Main Street—they’re more than tourists. They’re economic partners. When we support and promote local attractions, events, and businesses, we strengthen the very heartbeat of our town.

Whether you’ve lived here for decades or just moved in, you’re part of the hospitality that makes this place unforgettable. It starts with simple things:

  • Sharing upcoming events on social media.
  • Encouraging friends to attend the weekend music series or art walk.
  • Choosing local vendors when planning a summer barbecue or birthday party.

Behind every storefront is a family, a dream, and often a neighbor. And in many cases, summer makes the difference between making it and closing up shop.

It’s easy to overlook the hidden gems in our own backyard. When someone asks for local events or places to visit, we often draw a blank—not because they aren’t there, but because we’ve grown so used to them. Need a reminder? Here are 5 simple ways to support locals this summer:

 

  1. Shop the Farmers’ Market
    Buy fresh produce, handmade goods, and baked treats from local growers and artisans. Every dollar stays in the community!
  2. Dine Local (and Post It!)
    Eat at family-owned restaurants, food trucks, or cafes—and tag them on social media to help spread the word.
  3. Bring Guests Downtown
    Hosting out-of-town friends? Take them on a tour of Main Street, local parks, or community festivals.
  4. Attend Local Events
    Music in the park, library programs, art walks, and small-town parades all thrive with your presence and participation.
  5. Leave Reviews & Say Thanks
    A kind word goes a long way—online or in person. Leave a 5-star review for a local shop or just tell them you appreciate what they do.

This summer, let’s not just welcome visitors—let’s also rediscover the charm of our own backyard. Your support matters. Your presence matters. And together, we can ensure this season brings prosperity not just for a few weekends—but for the year ahead.

Newly Hatched Bagworms Are Gearing Up to Cause Damage

Leave a comment
https://ecoipm.org/2014/05/14/baby-bagworms/

 

Bagworms are a yearly pest in our area and can cause considerable damage. Most homeowners typically don’t get too concerned about bagworm control until they see large bags present on plants. By then it is too late and the damage is already done! The window of opportunity for optimum control is approaching.

 

Bagworms overwinter as eggs deposited in the female bags. From mid-May through mid-June, larvae hatch from the eggs and exit from the bottom opening of the old bag. Larvae begin constructing their miniature silk-lined bags immediately. Only after the bags have been completed do the larvae begin actual feeding activities. And as the larvae grow, so do their bags. By mid-to late August when feeding activities are complete, larvae firmly anchor their bags to the twigs and branches on which they were feeding.

 

Bagworms are most commonly found on eastern red cedar and junipers. However, bagworms can attack arborvitae, spruce and pine. Broadleaf trees, shrubs and ornamentals can also serve as a host to bagworms. After bagworms have defoliated a host plant, they are capable of migrating in search of additional food sources. They may attack the same species from which they came or a completely different species.

 

The damage caused by bagworm feeding can be minimal to severe. As larvae enter their later development stages, they require greater amounts of food. Sometimes in what seems to be just overnight, bagworms can completely defoliate a tree. Several successive years of heavy foliar feeding can result in the death a tree, especially with conifers.

 

There are two ways to control bagworms – cultural and chemical. Cultural practice is used by those who do not want to utilize insecticidal sprays to control bagworms.  Instead, bagworms are eliminated by handpicking individual bags from plants. This is best done in the winter months when bags stand out against a trees background color.  Keep in mind that a single missed bag could result in a thousand new bagworm larvae. Of course, handpicking becomes impractical when a host is literally covered with bags or it is too tall to make handpicking possible.

 

Chemical control is most effective when larvae are in their early developmental stages. Generally, bagworm larvae will begin emerging from the overwintering bag by mid-to late May. Hatching does not happen overnight. Instead, hatching can continue for 4 to 5 weeks. Controls applied in late summer are often a waste of time and expense because the larvae are large, tough and may have stopped feeding. About the third week of June is the ideal time to make insecticidal control.

 

Insecticides commonly used to control bagworms include spinosad, acephate, cyfluthrin, or permethrin. These are sold under a variety of trade names. Check the product label for active ingredients.

 

For more information on bagworm control, please contact me at one of our Southwind Extension District office locations.

FS Baseball Franchise Team Name Revealed July 11

Leave a comment

Fort Scott’s new baseball franchise will reveal the teams name and the inning submitter of that game on July 11.

The wait is almost over.

Fort Scott’s new Mid-America League baseball franchise is ready to take the next big step — and the fans are about to find out what it will be called.

Following a month’s-long “Name the Team” contest that brought in hundreds of creative and passionate submissions from the Fort Scott community, the franchise will officially unveil its
name, logo, and identity at the opening night of the “Summer Series” on Friday, July 11th.

One lucky fan — whose submission was selected as the winning entry — will be publicly honored during a pre-game ceremony and awarded two (2) season tickets for life.

“This team is built for and by the Fort Scott community, and it was only fitting that our fans had a hand in shaping its identity,” said Mike Marek, Vice President of the Fort Scott franchise.
“The name we’ve chosen tells a powerful story about the city and the spirit we aim to bring to the ballpark.”

The “Summer Series” a three-game series from July 11-13 between the Texarkana Rhinos and the Joplin Outlaws will feature a family-friendly experience and a sneak peek into the franchise’s future.

Official team merchandise will be available following the announcement

Friday evening game times will be 7:05 pm on Friday and 6:05 pm on Saturday and Sunday.
