Abilene is preparing to welcome a captivating new exhibit to its cultural scene. The "See Kansas" exhibit will be showcased at the Abilene Public Library from June 1 to August 7.

"We are truly excited to be able to display the "See Kansas" exhibit in the Jordan Room at the library this summer," said Library Director Wendy Moulton. "Our 2024 Summer Reading theme for all ages is Adventure Begins at Your Library, and the travel poster-inspired art on display will encourage everyone to enjoy and explore our wonderful state and community."

Produced by Parks and Green Spaces&nbsp;Art Projects, the exhibit features the work of nine artists from across the state, celebrating iconic and historic Kansas landscapes. Among these is the latest addition, "See Abilene," highlighting many aspects that contribute to Abilene being recognized as the Best Historic Small Town.

"The "See Kansas" Art Project spotlights some of the most beautiful outdoor spaces in the state," says Mary Gage, director of the project. "Nine Kansas artists were challenged to channel the beloved style of the National Parks Posters of the 1930s and '40s and produce unique new images for Kansans of favorite Kansas places. We're looking forward to sharing the exhibit of the artwork, as well as the new "See Abilene" poster, created in a similar style, with the community of Abilene this summer."

Visitors are encouraged to attend a special sneak peek unveiling of the "See Abilene" at the Abilene Public Library on Thursday, May 30, at 4 p.m.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with the Abilene Public Library and Parks and Green Spaces to bring this series to our community," said Julie Roller Weeks, Abilene Convention and Visitors Bureau director. "The "See Kansas" series pieces are beautiful, and we're proud to add 'See Abilene' to its collection."

Copies of the "See Abilene" piece will be available for purchase at the Abilene Visitors Center.&nbsp;

In 1921, a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/tulsa-race-massacre">race riot erupted in Tulsa, Oklahoma</a>, as white mobs began looting and leveling the affluent Black district of Greenwood over reports a Black man had assaulted a white woman in an elevator; hundreds are believed to have died.

In 1962, former Nazi official Adolf Eichmann was hanged in Israel a few minutes before midnight for his role in the Holocaust.

In 1970, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake in Peru claimed an estimated 67,000 lives.

(Bergdahl, who’d gone missing in June 2009, later pleaded guilty to endangering his comrades by walking away from his post in Afghanistan; his sentence included a dishonorable discharge, a reduction in rank and a fine, but no prison time.)

In 2018, President&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/beb7e46ebfac42af9237d3316ac0b522">Donald Trump pardoned conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza</a>, who had pleaded guilty to campaign finance fraud; Trump said D’Souza had been “treated very unfairly by our government.”

When the accident occurred, Logan Sullivan, 25, of Salina, was riding his motorcycle southbound on Burma Road with other motorcyclists.&nbsp;

"A red 2023 Ducati motorcycle was southbound on Burma Road, where it struck some gravel, lost control, and went off into the west ditch," Soldan said. "The deputy noted he had road rash on his arms and back."

According to Soldan, one of the other motorcyclists called the Saline County Sheriff's office to report the accident. EMS transported Sullivan to Salina Regional Health Center for treatment of his injuries. 

Soldan said Sullivan was wearing a helmet when the accident occurred.

When the brother of a deceased homeowner returned to the property to check in on the house on Memorial Day, he discovered that someone had stolen a truck and multiple televisions from the home.

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said that sometime between April 27 and Monday, May 27, an unknown suspect broke into a home in the 12000 block of West Lockard Road and stole a red 1989 GMC truck and two flatscreen televisions, a 40-inch model and a 35-inch model.

"The gentleman that lived there had passed away, and his brother was taking care of the property," Soldan said. "[The truck] has a toolbox in the bed, and that vehicle has been entered into NCIC (National Crime Information Center)."

The truck was valued at $1,500, while the two TVs totaled about $800. Soldan said the suspect first broke into a shed near the house to steal the vehicle and later entered the house for the other stolen items.

Saline County Sheriff's Office deputies continue investigating the crime.

Salina Post will update the story as more information becomes available.

On Wednesday afternoon, May 29, a 66-year-old Salina woman was injured in a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of K-140 and I-135 in Saline County.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said the accident happened at approximately 4:32 p.m. yesterday.

"There was a vehicle that exited the northbound off-ramp and stopped at the stop sign," said Soldan. "When they pulled away from the sign, they didn't see a vehicle that was coming from the west heading east."

Kim Fowler, 66, of Salina, was driving the black Chevy Equinox east on K-140 when she struck a yellow Chevy Monte Carlo occupied by Heath Carlson, 47, and Trena Carlson, 45, both of Salina.

Soldan said Heath Carlson and Trine Carlson did not have injuries as a result of the crash, but Fowler was transported to Salina Regional Health Center by EMS for neck and shoulder pain.

K-State food safety specialist says cheese provides calcium and protein

K-State Research and Extension news service

For some, Cheese Day is every day, but since 1914, June 4 is officially known as Cheese Day in the United States. Kansas State University food scientist Karen Blakeslee said cheese provides eight essential nutrients to help build healthy bones and support the immune system.

“Cheese provides beneficial calcium and protein into a daily eating plan,” Blakeslee said. “There are hundreds of types and flavors to choose from as a snack or to add to a recipe."

Blakeslee said a soft cheese can be made at home.

“A soft cheese can be made from milk and lemon juice. The acid coagulates the milk proteins to form clumps or curds which separate from the whey,” she said.

Cheese comes in a variety of textures from soft to hard, and many flavors, which allows it to be used in different ways.

“To store cheese, keep it wrapped tightly with plastic wrap or in a tightly closed container,” Blakeslee said. “If unwanted mold appears, remove at least one inch of the cheese (because) mold grows into the food.”

Blakeslee publishes a monthly newsletter called&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rrc.k-state.edu/newsletter/">You Asked It!</a>&nbsp;that provides numerous tips on being safe and healthy.

SPD Capt. James Feldman said the victim reported that 22-year-old Rylan Whitmer entered a residence in the 400 block of North Broadway Boulevard where she was staying at about 7:20 a.m. before punching her in the face and running away.

"A known associate came home and ended up jumping on her and punching her in the face, breaking her nose," Feldman said. "He then took off running and the victim called us."
