5003 A PROPOSITION to amend the bill of rights of the constitution of the state of Kansas by adding a new section thereto stating that there is no constitutional right to abortion, and reserving to the people the ability to regulate abortion through the elected members of the legislature of the state of Kansas. WHEREAS, This proposition to amend the bill of rights of the constitution of the state of Kansas shall be known and may be cited as the Value Them Both Amendment. Now, therefore: Be it resolved by the Legislature of the State of Kansas, two-thirds of the Representatives and two-thirds of the members elected (or appointed) Section 1. The following proposition to amend the constitution of state for their approval orrejection: The bill of rights of the constitution of the state of Kansas is hereby amendedby adding a new section to read as follows: 22. Regulation of abortion.

Because Kansans value both women and children, the constitution of the state of Kansas does not require government funding of abortion and does not create or secure a right to abortion. To the extent permitted by the constitution of the United States, the people, through their elected state representatives and state senators, may pass laws regarding abortion, including, but not limited to, laws that account for circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, or circumstances of necessity to save the life of the Sec. 2. The following statement shall be printed on the ballot with the amendment as a whole: statement. The Value Them Both Amendment would require the government funding of abortion, and would reserve to the people of Kansas, through their elected state legislators, the right to pass laws to regulate abortion, including, but not limited to, in circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, or when necessary to save the life of the mother.

is no Kansas constitutional right to abortion or to require the government funding of abortion, and would reserve to the people of Kansas, through their elected state legislators, the right to pass laws to regulate abortion. vote against the Value Them Both Amendment would make no changes to the constitution of the state of Kansas, and could restrict the people, through their elected state legislators from regulating abortion by leaving in place the recently recognized right to Sec. 3. This resolution, if approved by two-thirds of the members the Senate shall be entered on the journals, together with the yeas and nays. The secretary of state shall cause this resolution to be published as provided by law and shall cause the proposed amendment to be submitted to the electors of the state at a special election which is hereby called on August 2, 2022, pursuant to section 1 of article 14 of the constitution of the state of Kansas, to be held in conjunction with the primary election held on such date.

75160190 By Lynn Allen, Executive Brown County Historical Society I wanted to spend this week traveling down histo- road and ect upon a few things. And please for- give this sentimental heart as I take this journey. I re- call a not-so-distant yester- day; Jere and Patty Bruning went on a double blind date with Harold and LaRhoda Neher. Jere fondly recalls the night he met his sweet- heart, and I urge him fre- quently to sit down and tell me more of these As I ponder this wonder- ful memory, I wonder what other cent jour- neys developed due to this encounter. I would be very remiss if I did not mention Jere Bruning and Patty (before she passed), and daughters and their extended families are so dedicated to Brown Coun- ty.

Each of them has sup- ported the Historical Soci- ety and, on a much grander scale, the entire Brown County community. Now, I cannot think of a more de- serving family who might receive the accolade of Mr. Mrs. Hiawatha. Still, maybe today and every day, even more than Mr.

Mrs. Hiawatha and family, the entire Bruning family deserves recognition for their support and dedi- cation to Kansas on a far greater scale than merely Hiawatha. If you see any of the Brunings around, be sure to stop and thank them for every effort they extend to making Kansas a beautiful place to live so that people know the gen- uine treasure we have the esteemed honor to wake up to each day. Brown County Historical Society has many reasons to be thankful for and many incredible projects current- ly While Jere Bruning and his family have donated nearly entire- ly to the creation of the Jere and Patty Memorial Build- ing. The Bruning family also designed the building carrying out wishes that might inspire future gener- ations with hope and a love of all things history.

The Historical Society is also working on the Wind- mill Museum, to which a generous benefactor plans to donate another 40 Wind- mills, but we are still rais- ing funds for this Holy Wind turbine! All do- nations are so very, greatly appreciated. The Historical Society is also working on updates to the Carwell Building, and we hope to raise at least $5,000. To complete a stor- age closet upgrade to the facility allowing us to store decorations and other mate- rials for the Carwell Build- ing, which we have been working on for some time! All donations are great- ly appreciated. As always there is so much more to Hi- incredible story! Find it! Be sure to stop by and share what you learn!

By Kathleen Twombly Highland correspondent Several people have re- cently told me that they have stopped watching the news. Granted there is too much violence and sadness in the world, but I would rather be informed, even if the news accurate. I watch several stations, and they all rm the same stories. One very disturbing report that I get my head around is the killing of Jaylen Walker. He was a young black man who was pulled over by police be- cause his car had a broken taillight or something to that effect.

He jumped out of his car and ran--which he should not have done. But, then eight police cers pur- sued him, ring their guns at him. Walker was killed with 60 bullet wounds to his body. Why? They had his car. They knew who he was.

They could have found him and ar- rested him later. Walker had a gun in his car, but he use it. No one has said why he ran, but to be chased by eight police cers constant- ly ring their guns is wrong no matter how you look at it. No wonder black men do not trust police cers. a sad commentary about law en- forcement in our nation.

I have also been watch- ing the committee hearings about the January 6, 2021, riot on our Capital. Several people (all Repub- licans) have ed about how angry Trump got when he was told there was no evi- dence that the 2020 presiden- tial election had been rigged. He happened to be eating lunch in the Oval ce at the time. He became angry and threw his lunch at the wall. Testimony said catsup was running down the wall, the plate was shattered, and food was all over the oor.

He was probably eating his favorite meal--a Big Mac and fries with lots of catsup. He has stated that he loves Mac- A two-year-old temper tantrum who hates the word, I hope everyone had a wonderful July 4th celebra- tion with family and friends. It was a long weekend for Highland as we celebrate on July 2nd. It was a rainy morning, so the parade was postponed for an hour. The rain had stopped by then, and a large number of pa- rade participants lined up at the high school.

I rode in the parade with Sherman and Mary Jane in their 1960 Ed- sel. That is a big car! so much room inside and the trunk is massive. It seemed like the car was half-a-block long. My rst time being in a parade is now marked off my bucket list. I spent the afternoon of July 3 with and family.

Deidra, Chad, Tori, Max, Hali, and Cami Breazile and some of family came from St. Joe and Travis Twombly came from Nebraska City. Chad did the grilling--a little bit of everything to please every- one. The ladies added salads and desserts, then the kids jumped in the pool for the afternoon. Of course, re- works rounded out the day.

Fun, food, and fellowship made for a great celebration. Deidra and kids made a cake for (Michael) celebration of his 58th birth- day on July 7. We all enjoyed pizza before cutting the red-velvet cake. Of course, the kids jumped in the pool again before heading home. I received a message and video from Tracy, Mika, and girls recently from their home in Hiroshima, Japan.

Technology is wonderful for staying connected to those far away. Mari attends an international school, and her teacher is from Kansas. She really likes the school and her teacher as they teach a lot more in English than her pre- vious school. Maira attends preschool and it has brought her out of her shyness. She sings and dances with the best of them.

We miss them all so much, but they are do- ing well. Hopefully, they can visit us before long. Our area has been blessed with rains last week. I think we had or so over several days. There were some in- stances of ash ooding in some areas.

The corn and soybean elds are just beau- tiful, and the sweet corn is ready in some places. hope the rains continue to come during the rest of July and into August. What a blessing that would be. I did not have a cancer treatment this week, so I have been feeling pretty well. I have one on Thurs- day (14th) and by Sunday I will be feeling some side ef- fects like extreme tiredness and nausea.

It usually goes away by just thankful not worse than it is. Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers for me and others in our community with cancer. Daughter Mary Jane will celebrate her birthday on July 13, as will Connie Ruhn- ke and Jason Taylor. Happy birthday wishes to all!
