Big Well takes first step, ground breaking Sept. 19 at 10 a.m.

Last weekend emergency crews and surveyors went into the Big Well for the first time in more than a year to take air quality readings, make some final measurements and inspect the well. With no circulation, the oxygen levels are dangerously low, which required additional crews from area fire departments to assist the local volunteer fire department.

Discovery to be at special observation at Cosmosphere

   On August 22, the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson is celebrating the 25th anniversary of STS-41-D, the first mission for the space shuttle Discovery, which is the oldest orbiter in NASA's fleet.

Community gathering celebrates progress of recovery

St. Joe parish breaks ground for new church

   Being one of the eight houses of worship destroyed in the May 4, 2007 Greensburg tornado, St. Joseph’s Catholic Church’s former location on west Morton has been recognizable in the 13 months since by nothing more than its surviving bell tower, and more lately, a temporary modular unit used for worship.  That began to change last Sunday, however, as church leaders and parishioners grabbed shovels following mass to participate in a groundbreaking for a new structure expected to be completed as early as January.
