Salina Central celebrates graduates in weekend ceremony


Salina Central celebrates graduates in weekend ceremony
Salina High School Central had its commencement at 5 p.m. Sunday at Tony's Pizza Event's Center.
Salina Central's graduation featured addresses from two alumni, former Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Lawton Nuss and astronaut Steven Hawley.
Hawley, who spent over 30 days total in space, recalled his own graduation ceremony, and the keynote given by Senator Bob Dole.
Thanks to archives, Hawley was able to find the transcript of Dole's 1969 speech. Fifty-two years later, Hawley said one part stood out as he spoke to a new class of Central graduates.
"In a few more years, on a day like today, one of you may stand before this podium addressing another graduating class," Dole said in 1969. "Whichever one of you that speaker is will have gained, hopefully, something more than wrinkles and a few gray hairs over the years, and will have something more to pass along to the graduating class."

Kansas officials hope to create new courts to help veterans


Kansas officials hope to create new courts to help veterans
December 20, 2020 GMT
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Officials in Kansas’ judicial system want to establish more special courts aimed at keeping veterans with behavioral, mental health or substance abuse issues out of prison.
But they are pursing the idea amid the coronavirus pandemic and the state’s own budget problems.
Johnson County established the state’s first veterans court in 2016, and it remains the only one in Kansas. District Judge Timothy McCarthy says at least 40 veterans have graduated from its programs and none have come back to the criminal justice system, The Topeka Capital-Journal reports.
