   Missouri and Kansas hit the road for the NCAA tournament and will play at roughly the same time on Thursday night.  Mizzou heads to Wichita to play Drake and they expect a big local flare crowd in that one.  KU heads east to face Arkansas in a pod filled with Hall of Fame coaches.  We break it down for you.    The Chiefs keep making moves and the Royals season opener is just around the corner.  We'll explain why Cole Ragans is their guy for opening day.    President Trump made birdies and won his club championship and then watched on a monitor as American forces targeted Houthi drones making shipping lanes dangerous with terrorism attacks.  Then, my co host Stephen Miller is getting tons for credit for his work.  Miller orchestrated 261 violent criminals deported to an incredible prison in El Salvador that is the greatest crime deterrent in the world.    The City of Lenexa is pulling a total scam on voters that sounds like an April Fool's joke, our astronauts are thrilled at the chance to come home and KSU women make the big dance even as their coach is targeted by Mizzou.  

This week, in Lenexa, Kansas, a lifelong con man slowly evolves into a prolific serial killer, luring women in with promises of jobs, money, and kinky sex, but all they ended up getting, was murdered. All of this, while maintaining the image of an upstanding father, husband, kid's sports coach & Sunday school teacher, but also running a residential brothel, and recruiting sex partners, under the screen name "Slavemaster"!!Along the way, we find out that BBQ, or spinach are apparently the only foods available in Kansas, that if someone offers you a job, that includes strange sex, that might be the best job, and that just because someone wears a tie, and combs their hair, it doesn't mean they don't have several bodies, rotting in oil drums!!New episodes every Thursday!Donate at: patreon.com/crimeinsports or go to paypal.com and use our email: crimeinsports@gmail.comGo to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things Small Town Murder & Crime In Sports!Follow us on...twitter.com/@murdersmallfacebook.com/smalltownpodinstagram.com/smalltownmurderAlso, check out James & Jimmie's other show, Crime In Sports!

Johnson County has until the end of the year to spend $6 million of federal COVID relief funds that were originally bookmarked for a Lenexa homeless shelter. Johnson County Commission chair Mike Kelly wants that money to still go towards housing solutions.

*This episode was originally published on 10/15/2018. This week on Preaching and Preachers, Steve Dighton joins me in a discussion on the pastor and shepherding difficult sheep. Pastor Dighton serves as pastor emeritus at Lenexa Baptist Church in Lenexa, Kansas. He founded Lenexa Baptist Church in 1990 and served as their senior pastor until his retirement in 2015.

It's back to the drawing board for Johnson County and its plans to build a shelter in Lenexa for the county's growing homeless population. How did the project — a major priority of Johnson County Commission Chair Mike Kelly, and the product of more than a year of planning and organizing — fall apart?

This week, the Lenexa City Council rejected a proposal to build a homeless services center, a blow to homeless advocates in Johnson County. What went wrong, and what's the next step for tackling the county's homelessness crisis?

   It's astonishing how easy it is for any and all democrats to NOT answer a question and pivot to blame somebody or something else.  But when it comes to assassination attempts called "incidents" and blaming a reporter for asking about stoking the tempers of 26 million Americans that believe its ok to hurt Trump, this is more like treason.     The City of Lenexa has a brief moment of clarity in  rejecting Johnson County's plan for a homeless shelter.    Nobody is paying attention to the Detroit Tigers who are making a big push to knock the Royals out of the playoffs.    Running Back Kareem Hunt is back with the Chiefs, we'll tell you why this isn't as great as you may think.    When Utah and Oklahoma State play Saturday, they will feature starting QB's that are a combined five years older than the QB's in the Bears/Colts NFL game last Sunday.    And Mitch Wheeler joins us from www.thebattlewithin.org ... an organization that helps military and first responders with PTSD.  We'd love for you to donate or visit their outstanding whiffle ball event which raises hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A proposal was made to turn a hotel into a new homeless shelter in Lenexa. The vote was denied in a 5-2 decision.

   The Royals are getting national attention at a level fit for a team making history.  And they should.  This has been unexpected and fun and all... but what the Royals are doing this year is more rare than winning Powerball!  We are literally witnessing history.  Wait until you hear the numbers.    We focus on my favorite three new toys the Chiefs have this year after making moves to settle their 53 man roster.      The Chiefs debut around 20 new concession items including a really disgusting sounding Tom and Jerry Corn Dog named after their famous Super Bowl plays.  But... there is one new item that looks incredible.   Kamala Harris is finally sitting down for an interview and I think there's a reasonable chance it won't be a fluff piece.  RFK wants off the ballot but now the Dems want him on it.    The city of Lenexa is fighting against the county over a proposed massive homeless shelter and you better sharpen up your game to watch your favorite college team beginning tomorrow.

He started in sporting clays at age eight, joining his dad in a small league at a local club and began developing his skills as a competitive shooter. The shooting sports earned him a scholarship to Lindenwood University. While there, he was on dual scholarship for baseball and the shotgun team. After a couple years, he transferred to Kansas State University to pursue a degree in Animal Science, graduating in 2008. While at KSU, he won the ACUI Collegiate Clay Target Championship, a format that includes international trap, international skeet, American skeet, American trap, and sporting clays. After college, he moved to Ohio where he designed and managed Cardinal Center Sporting Clays.

During his years in the shooting sports, Derrick has competed in many different disciplines, including sporting clays, skeet, trap, international trap, and helice, winning national titles and earning Team USA honors in helice, international trap, and sporting clays.

Like so many musical discoveries in my Tasty Brew orbit, Heather Pierson came to my attention from Mike Paget, Director behind the Green Guitar Folk House Music Series in Lenexa, Kansas.  He discovered Heather's talent at her official showcase during a past Folk Alliance International Conference in Kansas City and brought her back to the Heartland as she was touring through the area.  You'll hear us mention another Heartland music series I've heard stellar reviews about hosted at The Bixler 108 in Unionville, Missouri.  It is so important that stops like the Bixler become available to those trying to lead a lyrical life as they try to connect the dots between major markets like St. Louis and Dallas or west to Denver.  Born to a Scottish émigré mother and Navy veteran machinist father in Joplin, Missouri, Heather started out life in the single-traffic-light town of Galena, Kansas.  Music was constantly spilling out of the speakers of her parents' stereo – a diverse playlist that included such artists as The Allman Brothers, Kansas, Cream, The Beatles, KISS, Cat Stevens, Mario Lanza, Jose Feliciano and Anne Murray.   This diversity served to open Heather's young mind to the rich and varied language of music and to lay the foundation for her future endeavors and experimentations. Heather is now based in New Hampshire's White Mountains…. a singer/songwriter, pianist, song leader, and performer with a passion for cultivating joy, both onstage and off.  With a toe in each of the realms of New Orleans jazz, blues, vocal chants, instrumental piano, and folk, her multi-genre songwriting places her firmly in a category all her own, one honed by decades of diligent practice and curious exploration.  Whether solo, as a duo, with her trio, or in a community sing, Heather's live performances feature her bell-tone vocals, ease at the piano, and are infused with happiness, honest self-reflection, and a genuine desire to connect and share from the heart.  In over twenty years on her own record label, Vessel Recordings, she has released fifteen albums and several singles of original music.  Her forthcoming sixteenth studio album, Back To The Light, is her most vibrant release yet.  It is slated for a September 2024 release, and it was recorded ‘live on the floor' at Acadia Recording Company in Portland, ME with her trio mates Shawn Nadeau on bass (Shawn joins us in the studio for this conversation) and Craig Bryan on drums and percussion.  I just know you're going to dig the seemingly effortless vocal and instrumental offerings from Heather Pierson and Shawn Nadeau during a mid-morning stint on the radio in the Heartland…. Enjoy!

In this interview on the In a World with Real Media podcast, host Brad Burrow interviews Julie Sayers, one of the principals and owner of encompas and the mayor of Lenexa, Kansas. Julie Sayers was elected mayor in November 2023. Prior to that, she served as a Ward 4 council member from 2019–2023. Julie is an owner and principal of a commercial furniture dealership called encompas. She grew up in Topeka, Kansas, and earned a bachelor's degree in interior design from the University of Kansas.

Julie serves on the Executive Board of Climate Action KC. This group of policy makers from northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri — along with their partners in the private and nonprofit sectors — are working to enact and foster proactive strategies, systems and structures within the region to reduce greenhouse gases, improve climate resilience and generate corresponding economic, social, health and quality of life benefits. Sayers discusses her background in interior design, including her work on sports stadiums and arenas such as the Superdome and the Barclays Center. She then details her transition to encompas, a contract furniture dealership, and her eventual rise to ownership alongside three other women. The conversation shifts to the impact of COVID-19 on the contract furniture industry, with Sayers highlighting the increased demand for creating inviting and functional office spaces that entice employees back to the workplace. She also touches on the growing importance of ergonomics in both office and home settings. Sayers then shares her journey into politics, starting with her involvement in the campaign for a new airport project and culminating in her election as mayor of Lenexa. She emphasizes the importance of community engagement and her commitment to maintaining stability and delivering excellent services to residents. The interview concludes with a discussion of Lenexa's future development plans, including the completion of major projects like the AdventHealth campus, the Justice Center, and the renovation of the Community Center in Old Town. Sayers also mentions the city's comprehensive plan, which outlines the vision for Lenexa's growth and development over the next 20 years.

Lenexa is set to elect a new mayor for the first time in 20 years this November. Vying to replace him are two sitting members of the Lenexa City Council, Ward 1 councilmember Joe Karlin and Ward 4 councilmember Julie Sayers.

  As you know, we've been working hard in west Lenexa for Joe Karlin for Mayor and Mark Charlton for council in Ward 2.  What I've learned about registered Republicans is pretty enlightening and I share some stories including a hilarious encounter with the man running against Charlton.   Then, for those we met, here's Joe Karlin in his own words for you to hear, not my ramblings.  Right at the top of the page for the weekend as many of you were having trouble finding it.

   It's no secret Republicans tend to blow off elections that don't have a presidential candidate on the ballot.  This explains why so many communities are being overtaken by liberal city councils, school boards and mayors.    This year, it's on all of us to get involved in any way we can.  It starts by learning which candidates to vote for even when the ballot doesn't tell you who is running as a Republican.   In my city of Lenexa, we are losing a terrific mayor and council member to retirement after decades of service that lead to greatness.  Two flaming hot liberals now want to take over.  We chat with Joe Karlin who really needs your vote if you live in Lenexa or know somebody that does.  And we share stories of how your community could be experiencing the exact same things from outside, national, democrat funding.

Have you ever tried chiropractic care? On today's episode, I am chatting with my chiropractor and good friend, Dr. Therese Finan about the importance of chiropractic care. Dr. Therese is originally from Omaha, Nebraska and graduated from Kansas State University in 2006 with dual degrees in Nutrition/Exercise Sciences and Athletic Training.

A Lenexa native who grew up watching channel 5, Marleah Campbell has been with KCTV5 since the summer of 2022. She returned to her hometown after starting her TV career at WIBW, the CBS affiliate in Topeka, where she served as sports director, where she and Fitz quickly became friends. Prior to that, Marleah played Division I basketball at the University of Wyoming. A four-time Academic All-Mountain West team member, her passion for equity in sports led her to write an award-winning master's thesis on Title IX in her final year of NCAA eligibility. She'd use that framework to create a year-long weekly feature series at WIBW highlighting the pioneers who came before her, titled “IX at 50: The Trailblazers of Women's Sports in Kansas.” Outside of KCTV5, you can listen to Marleah's Chiefs coverage on 101 The FOX, 94.9 KCMO and 95.7 The Vibe. She's a host for KC Sports Network and leads their storytelling channel. In her free time, Marleah enjoys yoga, reading, and spending time with her family, friends, and her cat, Dolly. At least that's her official bio. She also loves living her best life as a young professional living in downtown Kansas City, Mo.   *** Tim Fitzgerald is a sports journalist who writes, does TV, radio, daily YouTube videos, and is a long-time podcaster.
