Pratt Tribune
The recent Community Art Class displays for summer work have gone back to their creators, but there is still plenty of inspiring and enjoyable artwork to view and interact with at the Vernon Filley Art Museum this summer in Pratt, according to museum co-director Brittany Novotny. We ve had a lot of visitors in to enjoy the Two Visions - One Prairie exhibit, and have even sold several of those paintings. They feature a lot of Kansas landscapes that people really seem to connect with, Novotny said.
Two Kansas painters, Cally Krallman and Bev Radefeld, visited several picturesque sites around Kansas and each painted their own vision of the views, resulting in side-by-side comparisons of colorful pastures, old barns, gully-washouts, skylines, sun-scapes and more.

HOUSTON - It’s emotional, it’s heartbreaking to do this without my father, said high school senior Tyler Martin.
McClelland was Houston’s Police Chief on that fateful day May 18, 2015. Richard Martin was a hero, he said. When I talked to the Martin family and I walked in, I could see Tyler clutching something but I didn’t know what it was. As he was sobbing and I was talking with him, he told me I like to play baseball and now I don’t have anybody to play baseball with. I said yes you do, you have over 5,300 police officers to play baseball with.
