On July 30, 1945, the Portland class heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis, having just delivered components of the atomic bomb to Tinian in the Mariana Islands, was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine; only 317 out of nearly 1,200 men survived. 

In 1619, the first representative assembly in America convened in Jamestown in the Virginia Colony. 

In 1792, the French national anthem "La Marseillaise," by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, was first sung in Paris by troops arriving from Marseille. 

In 1844, the New York Yacht Club was founded.

In 1908, the first round-the-world automobile race, which had begun in New York in February, ended in Paris with the drivers of the American car, a Thomas Flyer, declared the winners over teams from Germany and Italy.

In 1916, German saboteurs blew up a munitions plant on Black Tom, an island near Jersey City, New Jersey, killing about a dozen people. 

In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a measure making "In God We Trust" the national motto, replacing "E Pluribus Unum" (Out of many, one). 

In 1960, the recently founded American Football League saw its first pre-season game, in which the Boston Patriots defeated the host Buffalo Bills 28-7.

In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a measure creating Medicare, which began operating the following year. 

In 1975, former Teamsters union president Jimmy Hoffa disappeared in suburban Detroit; although presumed dead, his remains have never been found. 

In 1980, Israel's Knesset passed a law reaffirming all of Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state. 

In 2001, Robert Mueller, President George W. Bush's choice to head the FBI, promised the Senate Judiciary Committee that if confirmed, he would move forcefully to fix problems at the agency. (Mueller became FBI director on Sept. 4, 2001, a week before the 9/11 attacks.) 

In 2003, President George W. Bush took personal responsibility for the first time for using discredited intelligence in his State of the Union address, but predicted he would be vindicated for going to war against Iraq. 

Ten years ago: President Barack Obama toured Chrysler and General Motors assembly plants, where he offered an upbeat assessment of the U.S. auto industry a year after the big government bailouts. A 12-year-old Florida girl was seriously injured when she plunged about 100 feet to the ground from an amusement park free-fall ride in Lake Delton, Wisconsin. (Nets and air bags that were supposed to catch Teagan Marti&nbsp; had not been deployed.)

Five years ago: The Associated Press released the results of a five-month independent study it had commissioned which found that athletes competing in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro would be swimming and boating in waters so rife with sewage bacteria and viruses, they faced the risk of becoming seriously ill. The Afghan Taliban confirmed the death of longtime leader Mullah Mohammad Omar and appointed his successor, Mullah Akhtar Mansoor.

Renee Nadine Shara Fangmeier was born April 11,1958 in Belleville, KS to Charles and Nadine (Blackwood) Shara.

Renee attended elementary school and Jr. High in Narka, KS. She was active in sports and theatre at Belleville High School. She attended Brown Mackie College before returning to Belleville to work in the family’s insurance business. 

She relocated to Hebron, NE after marrying Dennis Fangmeier where she spent the remainder of her life building a family and a home together with him. 

Renee was a servant to many in the different roles she held throughout her life. Renee found great pleasure in seeing her children and grandchildren thrive. She was quick to offer her support in any way she could, never missing an opportunity to let them know how proud she was. Her children and grandchildren will dearly miss her unwavering confidence and infectious joy. 

Renee was a devoted member of the Hebron United Methodist Church. 

She found delight in caring for her pets and plants. 

She always had her eyes out for a way to help those around her. Many remember that Renee was quick with a warm smile, kind word, or thoughtful gift. She also came across as reserved to many, but to those that knew her best, she was a tireless advocate and fierce supporter: a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, and friend. 

Renee was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Nadine; her sister, Tamara Shara; her brother, James Shara; and her niece, Jamie Shara.

Dennis attended elementary school in Gilead and then continued on to high school in Hebron. Dennis played tuba in the band and spent much time helping out on the farm. 

Dennis loved figuring out how to make things work. Growing up, he made numerous contraptions with wheels and motors to entertain his siblings and cousins. He followed this interest to Nebraska Technical College at Milford, where he got a degree in electronics. 

Dennis started his career in Seward at Ehlers Electronic. Later, Dennis returned to Hebron where he purchased an electronics store that became Denny’s Home Entertainment. Dennis became a fixture in Hebron and the surrounding area for repairing and installing electronics over the next 40 years. 

In addition to his electronics work, Dennis could be found mowing lawns, driving school buses, and cruising around town with his wife, Renee. 

Dennis was a faithful member of the Hebron United Methodist Church. 

Over the years, he was also involved in the Hebron Lions Club, coached men’s softball in Seward and Hebron, and was a founding member of the Hebron Jaycees. 

Dennis loved spending time with friends and family. He would often drop in just to say hello and share his wit and humor. 

His children were blessed by his presence. They spent many hours in his company, and he was ready to take a phone call any time of day or night. Dennis was lately enjoying his role as Grandpa. His three grandchildren got to experience his gentle playfulness. They will dearly miss their grandpa. 

Dennis was preceded in death by his parents Rudolph and Wilma Fangmeier. 

Dennis is survived by his children Timothy Fangmeier and wife Katy, Tonia Le and husband Kevin; brothers Larry Fangmeier and wife Lori, James Fangmeier and wife Mary; John Fangmeier and wife Nancy; sister Ruth Hendrix and husband Wendell; grandchildren Jayden and Jacob Le and Ira Fangmeier; and many other family and friends.

Police: Community tips led to arrest in Kan. auto parts store murder

TOPEKA — A district court 
judge tossed Tuesday a lawsuit brought by Democrats to force Secretary 
of State Scott Schwab to implement for the 2020 elections a law allowing
 voters to cast ballots from any polling station within their home 
county.

Schwab hailed dismissal of
 the suit by a Shawnee County District Court judge as evidence his 
office was faithfully executing its duty to develop rules and 
regulations necessary for consistent implementation of the balloting 
reform in Kansas.

In the suit, the Kansas 
Democratic Party and three national Democratic Party organizations 
contended Schwab was intentionally dragging his feet on the changes for 
partisan benefit.

“The hypocrisy of 
Democrats in demanding the implementation of vote centers while also 
advocating for the elimination of polling places through all-mail ballot
 elections is evidence of their systemic ignorance of election law and 
administration,” said Schwab, a Republican. “Major changes to the 
administration of our elections should not be rushed out of political 
impulse or expediency.”

Kansas Attorney General 
Derek Schmidt, also a Republican, said the decision by Shawnee County 
District Judge Thomas Luedke to dismiss a lawsuit made clear the action 
brought by Democrats was “about partisan politics, not about the law.”

In dismissing the case, 
however, Luedke said implementation of the Vote Anywhere act was in the 
“complete discretion of the county election officials” whether or not 
Schwab devised rules or regulations to guide them.

Vicki Hiatt, chairwoman of
 the Kansas Democratic Party, said she considered that portion of the 
judge’s ruling a victory because it articulated the right of county 
election officials to embrace the Vote Anywhere law. The primary 
election is next Tuesday and the general election is in November.

“County election officials
 cannot be barred from allowing expanded voting access to all Kansans,” 
she said. “The Kansas Democratic Party believes that our democracy 
depends on participation and we have remained committed to making sure 
as many people as possible can exercise their right to vote safely in 
this historic election year.”

In February, the national 
and state Democratic organizations filed suit against Schwab in his 
capacity as secretary of state and Kansas’ chief elections officer. The 
action alleged Schwab was thwarting implementation of the Vote Anywhere 
law passed by overwhelming margins in the Kansas Legislature. The 2019 
statute empowered county election officials to permit voters to cast 
ballots from any polling station in the county.

Sedgwick County was among 
the first jurisdictions to push for adoption, but Schwab said he 
wouldn’t complete the rules and regulations by the August primary nor 
the November general election. The plaintiffs said that was evidence of 
the secretary of state’s “dereliction of his clear legal duties.”

Democratic National 
Committee chairman Tom Perez said when the suit was filed that Schwab 
was a carbon copy of his controversial predecessor, Kris Kobach, based 
on actions designed to deter voting. Kansans “deserve better than 
Schwab’s thinly veiled strategy to suppress votes,” Perez said.

In response, Schwab said 
Democrats pushing the lawsuit didn’t recognize development of the rules 
required collaboration of vendors that had to share proprietary 
information as well as the involvement of Homeland Security officials. 
He said another challenge was making certain county election offices 
could deal with technological challenges necessary to synchronize the 
poll book with voters.

Schwab also said the 
stream of litigation inspired by the Democratic Party and the American 
Civil Liberties Union did little more than “weaponize our elections” and
 deplete taxpayer resources to operate elections.

Tim Carpenter has reported on Kansas for 35 years. He covered the Capitol for 16 years at the Topeka Capital-Journal and previously worked for the Lawrence Journal-World and United Press International.&nbsp;

Judge dismisses Democrats’ voting lawsuit against Kan. SOS Schwab

Today is Wednesday, July 29, the 211th day of 2020. There are 155 days left in the year. 

On July 29, 1967, an accidental rocket launch on the deck of the supercarrier USS Forrestal in the Gulf of Tonkin resulted in a fire and explosions that killed 134 servicemen. (Among the survivors was future Arizona senator John McCain, a U.S. Navy lieutenant commander who narrowly escaped with his life.) 

In 1856, German composer Robert Schumann died in Endenich at age 46.

In 1914, transcontinental telephone service in the U.S. became operational with the first test conversation between New York and San Francisco. Massachusetts' Cape Cod Canal, offering a shortcut across the base of the peninsula, was officially opened to shipping traffic. 

In 1957, the International Atomic Energy Agency was established. Jack Paar made his debut as host of NBC's "Tonight Show."

In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, creating NASA. 

In 1965, The Beatles' second feature film, "Help!," had its world premiere in London. 

In 1968, Pope Paul the Sixth reaffirmed the Roman Catholic Church's stance against artificial methods of birth control. 

In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford became the first U.S. president to visit the site of the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz in Poland. 

In 1980, a state funeral was held in Cairo, Egypt, for the deposed Shah of Iran, who had died two days earlier at age 60. 

In 1981, Britain's Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer in a glittering ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. (The couple divorced in 1996.) 

In 1986, a federal jury in New York found that the National Football League had committed an antitrust violation against the rival United States Football League. But in a hollow victory for the USFL, the jury ordered the NFL to pay token damages of only three dollars.

In 1994, abortion opponent Paul Hill shot and killed Dr. John Bayard Britton and Britton's bodyguard, James H. Barrett, outside the Ladies Center clinic in Pensacola, Florida. (Hill was executed in Sept. 2003.) 

In 1997, members of Congress from both parties embraced compromise legislation designed to balance the budget while cutting taxes. 

Ten years ago: Army Spc. Bradley (now Chelsea) Manning was flown from a detention facility in Kuwait to the Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Virginia, to await trial on charges of giving military secrets to WikiLeaks. The House rejected a bill that would have provided up to $7.4 billion in aid to people sickened by World Trade Center dust; Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., angrily denounced Republicans who'd voted against the measure, calling it "a shame, a shame." A House panel charged New York Democrat Charles Rangel with 13 counts of ethical misdeeds (he was later censured by the full House).

Five years ago: Defense Secretary Ash Carter told the Senate Armed Services Committee that America's armed forces stood ready to confront Iran, but that a successful implementation of the nuclear agreement with Tehran was preferable to a military strike. Afghan authorities announced they were certain that the Taliban's reclusive leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, had died in a Pakistani hospital in 2013. Microsoft released its Windows 10 operating system, an upgrade of Windows 8.

One year ago: Britain's weather agency confirmed that the country had seen its highest temperature on record, 101.7 degrees Farenheit, during the heat wave that broke temperature records across Europe in the preceding days.

Today in History -- July 29

Saline County commissioners today approved a 30-year lease agreement with the City of Salina for the expo center portion of Kenwood Park.

City commissioners approved the agreement during their meeting Monday night.

The lease agreement would be from Jan. 2021, to Dec. 31, 2050, and is limited to the expo center site south of Tony's Pizza Events Center. 

The county will pay to complete several maintenance and improvement projects to the grounds and the buildings as a requirement of the lease. The county has been planning for these maintenance and improvement projects over the past few years and has $1.2 million allocated for these projects through the county’s Capital Improvement Project program.

Commissioners also approved a resolution declaring the intent to issue educational facilities revenue bonds for Kansas Wesleyan University (KWU). The county issued bonds for KWU in 2012 and those bonds have partially been paid off. According to information from the county, it is KWU's intent with these bonds to refinance the outstanding balance on the old bonds and add additional money to take advantage of the lower interest rates to fund an energy solutions project that will increase energy efficiency on campus. There is no financial impact on the county for issuing the bonds, as all bond payments will be the responsibility of the university. Commissioners voted to pass the resolution declaring the intent and will have a public hearing and final consideration for this on Aug. 25.

In other business during the commission meeting Tuesday, the county reported that:

Commissioners approved a request from Justin Mader, county engineer, to award bids for the 2020 reinforced box culvert projects. Bids were received by four companies. Mader recommended awarding four projects that were the low bid to Reece Construction, and one project that was the low bid to L&amp;M Construction. The total cost is $572,527.90 that will be paid with the Special Bridge Construction Fund. The earliest that these projects can start is at the time contracts are signed by both parties and they must be completed by June 2021.

Mader also briefed commissioners on options regarding a railroad crossing northeast of the grain elevator in Bavaria. After staff researched property ownership and maintenance responsibilities, it was determined that while this crossing has the perception that it is a public road, it is not and has not been maintained by the county in the past. Mader recommended that the county continue to maintain Midland Road, but install signage that delineates where Saline County road maintenance ends. He also recommended the posting of a “Dead End” sign. Mader said he would also suggest to the Kansas Department of Transportation and the railroad the need to re-classify the crossing as private and that it would need to be maintained by the owners of the grain elevator. Additionally, any decision to close the crossing would be up to the railroad and the owners of the elevator. 

Commissioners heard from Jason Tiller, Health Department Director, as part of their review of the mask mandate resolution. Tiller provided updated case numbers for Saline County, the state, and the nation. He also showed the newly launched dashboard that provides demographic information in more detail on the cases in Saline County. It has been three weeks since the mandate went into effect and there has been a decrease in the number of cases, anecdotally suggesting that the mask mandate is one of the contributing factors to that. Tiller recommended that to keep businesses open and to get kids back to school, the mask mandate should continue. The resolution is still in effect and will be until it is modified or repealed by the commissioners.

Commissioners heard a department update from Marilyn Leamer, human resources director. Leamer reported 15 new hires, nine transfers/promotions, and six people left employment in the period from mid-May to mid-July. Staff has been busy going through the insurance renewal process. Saline County’s self-insured plan will make a change in the network provider that will result in only a 0.5-percent increase in health insurance costs for the county. Due to the county’s self-insured status, the other renewal component is for stop-loss coverage. The switch to a new carrier is resulting in a 21.34-percent reduction in the premium cost from last year. Leamer also reported employment vacancies that the county currently has. There are positions open for corrections officers, intermittent/part-time civil process server, truck driver/truck driver trainee, assistant attorney, booking officer, transport officer, property technician, and a custodian position.

Commissioners also heard a quarterly update from Rosie Walter, senior services director. The kitchen and bathroom remodeling project at the senior center is complete. The kitchen staff moved back in on June 15 and the senior center opened to the public on June 22. During this quarter, there was a 21-percent increase in delivered meals through Meals on Wheels, which is a result of the stay at home order and other necessary precautions that were taken because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Senior services received $25,781.20 in donations/grants from April to June and Meals on Wheels received $15,673.26 in grants/donations during the same timeframe. 

County Administrator Phillip Smith-Hanes provided his update, reporting on the Coronavirus Funding Advisory Committee’s meeting on Monday. The committee looked at the total reimbursement requests that were received by the cities, county, and schools. The application for direct aid went live last Wednesday and the deadline for organizations and businesses to submit an application is 5 p.m. on Friday. The committee will go through the applications next week and review the requests to determine if they do meet the necessary criteria as well as fit in with the desires of the committee, which is looking at programs that will benefit the community broadly. All documents and links to the recordings of the meetings can be found on the county website at <a href="https://www.saline.org/Coronavirus/CRF-Funding">https://www.saline.org/Coronavirus/CRF-Funding</a>.

Smith-Hanes also told commissioners that the county was notified last week that it has been awarded $132,000 from Community Development Block Grant Supplemental funding (CDBG-CV). Staff will be working with the North Central Regional Planning Commission which will assist in the administration of the grant. All contracts for the grant will be brought to the commission next week for review and consideration for acceptance. 

The Saline County Appraiser’s Office received word from the State Property Valuation Division that they have met all of the statistical compliance measures again this year as set forth in State Statute K.S.A. 75-505.

Commissioners were reminded of a joint meeting on Monday at 1 p.m. with Salina city commissioners to hear the recommendations from the consultant concerning the emergency radio communications project.

Ten years ago: U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton put most of Arizona's toughest-in-the-nation immigration law on hold just hours before it was to take effect. (In September 2012, Bolton ruled that police could enforce the so-called "show me your papers" provision of the law.)

It was announced that Jonathan Pollard, the former U.S. Naval intelligence analyst who had spent nearly three decades in prison for spying for Israel, had been granted parole. In a case that outraged animal lovers, Zimbabwean police said they were searching for an American who had shot and killed a well-known, protected lion known as Cecil during a bow hunt; Walter Palmer, a Minnesota dentist, issued a statement saying he thought everything about his trip was legal. (Officials in Zimbabwe later said Palmer had not broken the country's hunting laws.) Tom Brady's four-game suspension for his role in using underinflated footballs during the AFC championship game was upheld by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

President Donald Trump announced that Dan Coats would be resigning from his post as director of national intelligence, after a turbulent two years in which he and Trump were often at odds over Russian interference in the 2016 election. (Trump named John Ratcliffe to succeed Coats, but the Texas Republican congressman withdrew after five days of growing questions about his experience and qualifications.) Egan Bernal, a 22-year-old from Colombia, became South America's first winner of cycling's Tour de France.

Today is Monday, July 27, the 209th day of 2020. There are 157 days left in the year. 

On July 27, 1974, the House Judiciary Committee voted 27-11 to adopt the first of three articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon, charging he had personally engaged in a course of conduct designed to obstruct justice in the Watergate case. 

In 1794, French revolutionary leader Maximilien Robespierre was overthrown and placed under arrest; he was executed the following day. 

In 1866, Cyrus W. Field finished laying out the first successful underwater telegraph cable between North America and Europe (a previous cable in 1858 burned out after only a few weeks' use). 

In 1909, during the first official test of the U.S. Army's first airplane, Orville Wright flew himself and a passenger, Lt. Frank Lahm, above Fort Myer, Virginia, for one hour and 12 minutes. 

In 1919, race-related rioting erupted in Chicago; the violence, which claimed the lives of 23 Blacks and 15 whites, lasted until Aug. 3.

In 1946, American author, poet and publisher Gertrude Stein, 72, died in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France.

In 1953, the Korean War armistice was signed at Panmunjom, ending three years of fighting. 

In 1960, Vice President Richard M. Nixon was nominated for president on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention in Chicago. 

In 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed the Kerner Commission to assess the causes of urban rioting, the same day Black militant H. Rap Brown told a press conference in Washington that violence was "as American as cherry pie." 

In 1976, Air Force veteran Ray Brennan became the first person to die of so-called "Legionnaire's Disease" following an American Legion convention in Philadelphia. 

In 1980, on day 267 of the Iranian hostage crisis, the deposed Shah of Iran died at a military hospital outside Cairo, Egypt, at age 60. 

In 1996, terror struck the Atlanta Olympics as a pipe bomb exploded at Centennial Olympic Park, directly killing one person and injuring 111. (Anti-government extremist Eric Rudolph later pleaded guilty to the bombing, exonerating security guard Richard Jewell, who had been wrongly suspected.) 

In 2003, comedian Bob Hope died in Toluca Lake, Calif. at age 100. Lance Armstrong won a record-tying fifth straight title in the Tour de France. (However, Amstrong was stripped of all seven of his Tour de France titles in 2012 by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.)

Ten years ago: BP announced that its much-criticized chief executive, Tony Hayward, would be replaced by Robert Dudley as the company reported a record quarterly loss and set aside $32.2 billion to cover the costs of the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Canadian character actor Maury Chaykin died in Toronto on his 61st birthday.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama, during a visit to Ethiopia, unleashed a blistering and belittling rebuke of Republican White House hopefuls, calling their attack on his landmark nuclear deal with Iran "ridiculous if it weren't so sad." The Boy Scouts of America ended its blanket ban on gay adult leaders while allowing church-sponsored Scout units to maintain the exclusion for religious reasons.

One year ago: President Donald Trump described the Baltimore-area congressional district represented by one of his chief Democratic critics, Elijah Cummings, as a "disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess." Russian police cracked down fiercely on demonstrators in central Moscow, beating some and arresting more than 1,000 who were protesting the exclusion of opposition candidates on the ballot for Moscow city council. A balcony inside a nightclub in South Korea collapsed, killing two people and injuring 16 others, including American and other athletes at the world swimming championships. The Boston Red Sox announced that former star David Ortiz had been released from Massachusetts General Hospital, where he'd had surgery after being shot at a bar in the Dominican Republic.
