Santa Ynez Valley News · St Joseph, MO
Nearby: St Joseph, MOCity hall was sweating bullets in the spring of 1900. The Twelfth Census of the United States would be taken on June 1, and the municipality was in serious trouble. An up-and-coming new kid some 50 miles down the road was overtaking it in population, commerce and influence.Today, St. Joseph, Missouri (St. Joe to locals), calls itself the place “where the Pony Express began, and Jesse James ended.” (The legendary outlaw was gunned down there in 1882.)What began in the 1820s as a trading post nestled between the Missouri River and the Blacksnake Hills mushroomed into a frontier boomtown. Steamboat traffic, combined with the western terminus of the new iron horse, increased its size and prosperity as a major jumping-off point for settlers heading west.Then a nearby town set out to give St. Joe a run for its money. Kansas City, Missouri, gained a major leg up with the construction of the first railroad bridge across the wide Missouri River in 1869.
Utah Stories · St Joseph, MO
Nearby: St Joseph, MOOn April 3, 1860, a young rider of small stature departed on horseback from St. Joseph, Missouri with a satchel of mail. He was on the first leg of a 2,000 mile route, heading west to California. Nine days and 23 hours later the mail would arrive on the Pacific coast in what was the original ride of the Pony Express. Although types of horsemounted mail service had been used throughout history, the Pony Express was “the first American express mail service,” said Jackie Lewin, volunteer historian of the Pony Express Museum. “It originated because over half-a-million people had emigrated to the West Coast in the 1840s and 1850s, and these new settlers wanted to keep in contact with the east coast.” The prevailing wisdom at the time dictated that a cross-country mail route could not be maintained year-round, due to the weather and terrain.

The Beacon · Jackson County, MO
Nearby: Jackson County, MOIn the heart of Kansas City, two miles south of the zoo, sits a nature preserve home to 300-year-old chinquapin oaks, bobcats and songbirds across limestone bluffs and miles of trails built and cleared by volunteers. This land has been owned by Jackson County for 80 years and preserved by environmental groups like the Heartland Conservation Alliance and Bridging the Gap. But instead of beloved trails, interim Jackson County Executive Phil LeVota saw the land — characterized as “empty” and “sitting there for decades” — as a possible solution to a problem he hopes to address before leaving office. A property tax relief program he implemented has created a big hole in the county’s budget. He had the county Legislature put out a request for proposals — essentially asking if any businesses would be interested in buying the land. In doing so, he surprised those conservation groups and even the county’s own parks department. After the initial shock, local nature enthusiasts were enraged.

Colin Powell lived the American dream. His character, determination and love of country never wavered. Born in Harlem, N.Y., to Jamaican immigrants, he received his early education through the New York public school system, but from an early age, he liked structure and order. While attempting to become an engineer at New York City College,he witnessed recruits drilling on campus and was immediately drawn to military life. “Seeing cadets in uniform, I was attracted to it,” Powell later recalled. “I like structure, discipline and being around a group that were just like me. I found another family in ROTC.” After entering the military, Powell steadily climbed the ranks.

Pine and Lakes Echo Journal · Leavenworth, KS
Nearby: Leavenworth, KSAPPLETON, Minn. — The Prairie Alliance for Human Dignity will host a vigil, rally and news conference Saturday in Appleton in response to the arrival of the first ICE detainees at the Appleton Detention Facility. CoreCivic, the longtime owner of the shuttered private prison, announced a contract to reopen the 1,600-bed facility for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention. A day later, the company announced it had sold the property to the federal government but would still operate it. According to information from CoreCivic that was shared in August during a roundtable in Appleton, detainees will come largely from Minnesota and neighboring areas that are the responsibility of the Minneapolis office of ICE. The facility will hold only adult men and women, the company said at the time, and detainees are expected to be held an average of 35 to 65 days.

Nearby: Leavenworth, KSGraphic by Olivia Welhoelter The op-ed below does not necessarily reflect the views of the University Daily Kansan and its members.Anime can teach a toddler their shapes, and it can leave an adult staring at the ceiling at 2 a.m. questioning everything they believe. Somehow, it still gets dismissed as “just cartoons.” But it's not just a genre. It’s a medium, and it’s been misjudged for decades. Here's why it's not just cartoons.Anime is hand-drawn or computer-generated animation originating from Japan. It can have a very kid-like cartoon aesthetic or very mature animation for poised palettes, with narratives or visuals strong enough to get it banned in many countries.Animes can be simple or complex. Many animes traverse a philosophical plane that some live-action shows don’t touch as much or as well as anime can. It can be especially impactful as it reflects worlds similar to ours, with the same problems we deal with in our society.
