Recent obituaries and service times

DICKINSON COUNTY —Legacy Kansas is the official name while the subtitle for the new restaurant in Abilene is Munson's Prime Steaks Brookville Family Style Chicken. 

Deanna and Chuck Munson purchased the former Brookville Hotel that has been closed for several months and have combined it with their former Munson Prime restaurant which was destroyed by a fire.&nbsp;

Deanna Munson said the history of both entities dates back into the 1800's. "The Brookville Hotel and the family that started it goes back to 1870. If you look at the Munson history of establishing the meat which is the reason why we had the restaurant, Munson's Prime, that all started in 1869 when Carl Munson came to Junction City." Munson began to acquire cattle and in 1924 the family went to a registered cow herd. Munson's Prime was opened in 2014. "So we're talking legacy of both entities."

Deanna said right now reservations only are required to eat at Legacy Kansas. Challenges hiring enough staff to do walk in open seating is the reason why. "This facility could handle 22 people at a setting. Right now we have 12 people. We need 40 to 50 in order to truly do the whole thing.&nbsp;

At this point the restaurant is serving the fried chicken dinner with all of the sides that the Brookville Hotel served. They are also serving an option of country fried steak instead of the chicken. Eventually there will be gourmet steaks and burgers served, and at that time there will be a plated menu as well as the family style chicken dinners. Later homemade Munson ice cream will be served, and in the meantime Call Hall ice cream is being brought in from K-State.

The restaurant is open 4:30 - 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Monday, and 11 until 2 and 4:30 - 7:30 on Sundays. You can make reservations at legacykansasabilene.com or by calling 1-785-200-3973 Thursday through Monday from 2:30 to 6:30.

One thing that has already occurred is the location of the diner's cities. They have come from numerous cities in Kansas.&nbsp;

MISSING: 15-year old missing from Salina, has ties to MHK area

Fourteen applications have been submitted for the Riley County Police Department Director position, since the Riley County Law Enforcement Agency, commonly known as the Law Board, opened it's search on May 23rd, 2022.&nbsp;

Three of the applicants are from Kansas with the remaining 11 coming from out-of-state. The applications are being reviewed by a screening committee.

The 11 out-of-state applicants are from the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Texas, and Vermont.

The screening committee will make recommendations to the Law Board regarding which applicants to move forward, however, the Law Board makes the decisions on who will become finalists.

“We are systematically working our way through the process,” Law Board Chair Linda Morse said. “This is an important decision and we are committed to meeting regularly to keep progressing forward. Once recommendations are made, the Law Board will meet separately to choose finalists.”

Qualifications, experience, and dedication to embracing diversity and promoting inclusion are among the deciding factors that will determine who moves on as finalists.

After a decision is made by the law board, a public announcement will be made naming the finalists.

Public input on the finalists will be welcomed during an open forum to be held later on in the application/hiring process.

By the end of 2022, the Law Board plans to name the new Director for RCPD.

Since former Director Butler's retirement on January 31, 2022, Kurt Moldrup has served as the Interim Director, and will continue to do so until the new Director is named.

The Ford Edge came to rest on its side north of the roadway. The Ford F250 came to rest on the south side of the roadway on its roof. The semi&nbsp; came to rest on the south of the roadway in a field.

Randy Tinkel was pronounced dead at the scene and was transported to&nbsp;Stewart's Funeral Home.

EMS transported a Korbin Tinkel and a 2-year-old boy in the pickup to Children's Mercy.&nbsp; EMS transported a third passenger in the Ford F 250 Jillian C Tinkel, 36, Wamego, to Wamego Health Center.

7-year-old Wamego boy dies from injuries in 3-vehicle crash

A crash involving a white Toyota&nbsp; SUV occurred just before 7:00pm at the intersection of Tuttle Creek Blvd and Leavenworth Street.

According to the Riley County Police Department, the driver of the Toyota SUV was behind a vehicle which had slowed for the yellow light on southbound Tuttle Creek Blvd.

The driver of the Toyota attempted to slow down, but told RCPD that the brakes didn't work, and the driver didn't want to rear end the vehicle that was slowing to a stop in front of him.

The driver of the Toyota decided to swerve and attempt to jump the curb to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of him.&nbsp;

The impact of hitting the curb caused the Toyota to spin and come to a rest on the driver’s side on the curb.

The driver was not injured in the crash. The Toyota SUV was removed from the scene by a tow truck.

Starting August 20th through Labor Day, September 7th, the Riley County Police Department (RCPD), along with law enforcement agencies across Kansas will be focusing on removing impaired drivers from the road.

'You Drink. You Drive. You Lose.' is an annual campaign to enforcement traffic laws against impaired driving.

In the United States, 1 person is killed in a drunk driving crash every 52 minutes. Alcohol impairs thinking, reasoning, and muscle coordination.&nbsp;

“Before getting behind the wheel, please take a moment to think about the decision you’re about to make,” RCPD Patrol Captain Greg Steere said. “If you drive impaired, you’re not only more likely to crash, but that crash is much more likely to cause serious injury or death.”

Throughout the year, RCPD continues to emphasize the importance of enforcing impaired driving and other traffic laws in order to save lives.

HUTCHINSON,
Kan. — 
Kansas U.S. Senator Jerry Moran said the Sergeant First Class (SFC) Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act of 2022 was signed into law this week and that the legislation was really years in the making.

"It's been a topic that we've worked on, in a sense, piecemeal," Moran said. "With the signing of the PACT Act into law this week, it really does take a major step. It's the most significant toxic exposure legislation that's passed Congress in our country's history."

the SFC Heath Robinson Honoring Our PACT Act of 2022 will: 

Expand VA health care eligibility to Post-9/11 combat veterans, which includes more than 3.5 million toxic-exposed veterans;

Create a framework for the establishment of future presumptions of service connection related to toxic exposure;

Add 23 burn pit and toxic exposure-related conditions to VA’s list of service presumptions;

Expand presumptions related to Agent Orange exposure;

The bill includes Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Guam, American Samoa, and Johnston Atoll as locations for Agent Orange exposure;

The bill will strengthen federal research on toxic exposure;

The bill will improve VA’s resources for toxic-exposed veterans and training for VA health care and benefits professionals;

It also is designed to let VA and veterans up for success by investing in:

Moran notes that just because it is now law doesn't mean everything is fixed yet.

"There's not ribbons to be cut and whistles and bells to be sounded," Moran said. "The practical reality is the department of veterans affairs struggles to implement major pieces of legislation and to do it in a way that really cares, that takes care of our veterans. From a what's next perspective for me it's to make sure that, most recently, the PACT Act is not just words on a piece of paper, but actually makes a difference in the lives of veterans."

Senator Moran spoke back in 2014 at the Vietnam Veterans of America National Leadership Conference in Wichita and heard from Kansas veterans and their families about the effects of Agent Orange and those conversations helped inform a series of pieces of legislation that culminated in the PACT Act.
