Rev. Hamilton is going to Washington. What will that mean for his church?

Rev. Hamilton is going to Washington. But how often will he come back? Kansans have reasons to wonder, having just booted Sen. Roger Marshall from office Tuesday, in part because of how absent he seemed from the state he represented. Few believed Marshall was rushing back on weekends to the one-bedroom hunting shack he kept in rural Stafford County. His million-dollar vacation home in Sarasota, Florida, seemed a more likely destination when he wasn’t in Washington. Even if Senator-elect Adam Hamilton, who defeated Marshall, wanted to spend his free time on a white-sand Florida beach, he has a practical reason to come home. He has a church to run — and not just any church, but the largest United Methodist congregation in the country, the Leawood-based Church of the Resurrection, with 25,000 members. And he intends to keep running it, at least part-time. Resurrection laid out Hamilton’s plans in a detailed announcement Wednesday. In the short term, Hamilton will attend Senate orientation in Washington, then take a previously planned two-week vacation with his wife, LaVon. He’ll return to the pulpit Nov. 29 and continue leading services through Christmas. “I can hardly wait to return to a regular preaching schedule for

5 Johnson County districts oppose letting parents opt kids out of school tech devices

For teachers, allowing parents to opt their students out of school-issued technology, like iPads and laptops, means hours spent creating a separate curriculum. It means creating possible disparities in what children learn, educators say, and giving less attention to students and more attention to administrative tasks. Still, allowing parents to...

New KC-area coffee shop opens, bringing a taste of K-State to Johnson County

Between a steady stream of athleisure-clad customers Monday were a smattering of those sporting Wildcat-lavender sweatshirts and TWA tees. They stood inside what was previously an antique shop of 20 years. Those items have been cleared, and a row of first-class seats from a Delta plane currently lines an interior wall. A Nuova Simonelli espresso machine now hums atop a bar covered in reflective steel. Several aviation pieces — an old plane window, a wooden propeller, a suitcase from the 60s — were supplied by associates of the TWA Museum in Kansas City, a museum honoring the Trans World Airlines that was once headquartered in Kansas City and operated for several decades. It’s adjacent to the Charles Wheeler Airport downtown. Though it just opened, Kansas State alumni are likely already familiar with the new coffee shop in Overland Park. For the past five years, its original launch pad has been a popular fixture in downtown Manhattan. Flight Crew quietly opened its second location at 8025 Santa Fe Drive Monday, bringing an elevated (flight-themed) concept to downtown Overland Park. It’s open daily, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., starting now. Owner and founder Heather Hnizdil threw open the doors and crossed
