Good News

This month Lt. Phil Waters retired from the Police Department. Lt. Waters had worked for the City of Junction City for 32 years. Most recently, he worked in the administrative side of the house, managing the fleet of vehicles and maintenance of the building at the Police Department. We wish Phil the best of luck in his retirement.

We also were notified this week that the roundabout on South Washington won an award from the Kansas Concrete Association. We will be accepting the award in January at their annual meeting.

The Junction City Arts Council hosted a highly successful “Red Hot & Blue” Christmas concert recently. Over 400 people attended the event in the Municipal Building. The Arts Council has become a major cultural activity in our community. Thanks to the direction of Gail Parsons and her board, the arts are thriving in our community. The Gallery is hosting a wonderful exhibit of Flint Hills photography by Jim Richardson. His photographs appeared in National Geographic Magazine earlier this year. Stop by and take advantage of seeing this outstanding display of photographs.
