When they met Wednesday, Leavenworth County commissioners approved the allocation of $150,000 for a countywide transportation study.
The request for the funding was made by Greg Kaaz, chairman of the Leavenworth County Port Authority.
Last year, county commissioners tasked the Port Authority with overseeing a countywide transportation study.
Kaaz said the study is needed to help secure future federal and state funding for road projects in the county.
He said Julie Lorenz, secretary of the Kansas Department of Transportation, has stated Leavenworth County needs a transportation plan.
Kaaz said he also has requested funding for the study from the governing bodies of the cities of Leavenworth, Lansing, Basehor and Tonganoxie.
Leavenworth County commissioners proclaimed Wednesday as Detective Cpl. Abramovitz Day.
The proclamation honored Daniel Abramovitz, a member of the Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Office who was killed last year in a crash. His death is considered to have occurred in the line of duty.
Members of the Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Office were on hand Wednesday when the proclamation was read by County Commission Chairman Mike Smith.
Sheriff Andy Dedeke thanked commissioners for recognizing Abramovitz’s sacrifice.
“He was a good friend and public servant,” Dedeke said.
Abramovitz died Oct. 30 as a result of a crash at 211th Street and McIntyre Road.

California’s miniscule transmission rate has us on the brink of a wide-scale reopening. Much of the state’s population already lives in the least-restrictive tier, which allows businesses to operate at the maximum pandemic capacity. Gov.

Landmark study casts doubt on controversial theory linking melting Arctic to severe winter weather
May. 12, 2021 , 12:10 PM
Every time severe winter weather strikes the United States or Europe, reporters are fond of saying that global warming may be to blame. The paradox goes like this: As Arctic sea ice melts and the polar atmosphere warms, the swirling winds that confine cold Arctic air weaken, letting it spill farther south. But this idea, popularized a decade ago, has long faced skepticism from many atmospheric scientists, who found the proposed linkage unconvincing and saw little evidence of it in simulations of the climate.
