Kansas Concealed-Carry Apps Set Record in January
Kansans set a one-month record in January for the number of new concealed-carry handgun permit applications, the Attorney General’s office announced Friday.
A reported 3,167 concealed-carry applications were received this past month at the Attorney General’s Concealed Carry Handgun Unit, which must approve permits.
That number is nearly double the previous state single-month record of 1,651 applications in March 2012.
The Kansas Concealed Carry Program was established in 2006, with the first permits issued in 2007. Currently, 52,317 Kansans have active permits to carry concealed handguns in Kansas, according to a press release.
Ellis USD 388 to Vote on $10 Million Bond Issue
“It’s a good problem to have,” says USD 388 Superintendent Bob Young. Ellis is one of the few northwest Kansas communities that is growing, and it’s putting a strain on the school system.
“Enrollment at the grade school is up 15% to 20% the past three years,” he says, “and the ‘new’ high school building is 35 years old.”
A community committee of 30 Ellis residents began looking at the school district’s needs about a year ago. In December school board members approved putting a $10 million bond issue to the voters.
A special election will be held June 4.
If voters approve the $10 million bond, the money will pay off HVAC improvements made four years ago, and also be used for renovations and new construction. At the top of the list are the sports facilities on the west side of town and a proposed addition to the Ellis High School. Junior high students would then be moved to the high school, opening up more room at the grade school for the expanding student enrollment.

KHAZ Country Music News: Randy Travis Headed to Rehab, Receives Two Years Probation in Naked DWI Case
Randy Travis has been sentenced to 180 days in jail in connection with his naked DWI arrest last August in Texas, but he probably won’t serve any time behind bars. Instead, Travis struck a deal for two years probation, 30 days in a rehab facility and 100 hours of community service.
Should Travis violate his probation, authorities could haul him in to serve the full 180 days behind bars. Travis has also been ordered to install an ignition interlock device on any car he drives for the next two years.
The sentence is stiffer than most given to first-time DWI defendants, but Grayson County District Attorney Joe Brown says it was warranted since Travis was also charged with threatening the arresting officers in the incident. Brown adds, “We are all hopeful that Mr. Travis is on the road to recovery.”

FHSU Leader Newspaper Ceases Publication After 105 Years
The student newspaper at Fort Hays State — The University Leader — published its last issue Thursday.
President Hammond says he isn’t surprised, pointing to several national daily newspapers that have shut down entirely, both print and online.
Hammond declined a request for the university to fund The Leader through the remainder of the school year.
Instead, a task force will design a multi-media model to meet the news and information needs of the campus community. Fort Hays State also has student radio and television stations, KFHS.
Hammond says the new model will include academic links. He expects it to be implemented this fall 2013 semester.
For now, the Leader staff will continue to in an online-only format.
The “Western Normal Leader” was first published in 1908.
A Student Government Association decision in 2003 ended funding for the Reveille, the FHSU yearbook.
FHSU Department Now an Institute
Fort Hays State University’s Department of Technology Studies is now the Institute of Applied Technology.
President Edward Hammond, during a news conference Friday, said the institute concept will include collaborations with two-year institutions, partnerships with corporations and the military and an expansion of the programs offered. This will provide a distinctive identity for technology education.
Interim Chair Kim Stewart says the Institute’s partnerships with two-year schools will make the transition to FHSU for further education easier.
The Institute will continue to be a part of the College of Education and Technology.
