Historic Flooding Strands KS Residents on Rooftops

Aug. 22-- Torrential rains fell overnight causing historic flooding in south Kansas City and leading to water rescues and evacuations. As many as 9 inches of rain fell since Monday. Early Tuesday, firefighters rescued a woman stranded in a tree at 103rd Street and Wornall Road when Indian Creek flooded the area. That creek, which saw record flooding last month, set a new record of 28. 22 feet overnight . A family of seven were trapped on top of their roof after rushing floodwaters surrounded their home at 155th Street and Kenneth Road. The Overland Park Fire Department have been in contact via phone with the family of three adults and four children and their pets. Because they are not in immediate danger and the water levels around them are receding, crews will allow those water levels to drop to safer levels before evacuating the family. Firefighters said the family is calm. Floodwaters were out of the banks of Indian Creek and over bridges as businesses, apartments and homes we...

Vigil held for Hogan Prep grad Roosevelt Cooper

On the day he was set to leave for college, an 18-year-old Hogan Preparatory Academy graduate was instead memorialized at the site of his death just one day prior. Roosevelt Cooper , a 2017 Hogan Prep graduate , was shot and killed Thursday. The 18-year-old was found about 2:45 p.m. shot inside a car in the parking lot of the Save-A-Lot store at 3410 Troost Ave. The store is near Troost and Armour Boulevard. Police have not named the teen, but family members identified him shortly after the shooting. Cooper planned to leave Friday for college at Missouri State University in Springfield, Mo.

Pip Dukes, an assistant basketball coach at Hogan Prep, described Cooper as a talented student-athlete who excelled at football and basketball. He was one of the first players to j...

Denver Rent Prices So High Most Renters Want to Move

Image
A new study maintains that two-thirds of Denver renters plan to move to another city, a figure higher than the national average, with most listing high rent costs in the Mile High City  as the main reason. At the same time, however, so many people from other places want to move here that the actual number of renters in Denver is likely to remain steady in the near future and could actually rise. These are among the findings in a provocative report from Apartment List. As laid out in the following Q&A with analyst Sydney Bennet , who was heavily involved in the project, renting Denverites have a variety of reasons for wanting to relocate. But the number of those who are considering such a move because of long commute times or concerns about safety, for instance, pale in comparison to folks who simply are having a hard time stretching their dollars far enough to keep a decent roof over their head. As the study notes, the 67 percent of Denver renters who are looking at other lan...

How I’m Learning to Trust God’s Plan as a Man With Depression

Life with depression is filled with more rollercoasters than an amusement park . There are the days when life is great. You’re full of optimism. Hope runs supreme . You feel like you can take on the world. For me, that was a couple weeks ago . Life was awesome. I’d finally got a job in a city I adore like no other — Lincoln, Nebraska. As a born and raised Nebraskan, and as a diehard Cornhuskers sports fan , I was finally “coming home” after 17 years of living in Iowa. My hopes were sky high. A new job, a new career, a new life. It was an opportunity to be back close to my roots, close to family and dear friends, to have my support system closer to me than I’ve had in ages. My first night back in Lincoln, I snapped a picture — one I had missed taking roughly three months earlier. Memorial Stadium (home of the Nebraska football team ) was on the left, followed by the Nebraska state capital building , Pinnacle Bank Arena , then capped by the stately lit Haymarket Park baseball park ,...
