Summer In the Psalms: Psalm 85- Veach Psalm 85 Luke 11:1-13

   After the Kansas Board of Regents ordered all DEI eliminated from state universities there was still a question if KU would try to resist the directive.  But on Tuesday, KU Chancellor Doug Girod issued a memo to all employees emphatically directing them to dump pronouns and a whole bunch of other crazy stuff by July 31.  What a great day for KU!    Tariff deals are in place now with the Philippines and Japan.  The deal with Japan is massive and unprecedented and the Philippines deal is gloriously lopsided in the favor of USA.      Trump unloaded on Barack Hussein Obama Tuesday indicating he's guilty of treason and every other word you can think of and they have Obama "stone cold."   Well, there's no backing off this now.    ESPN has started its football coverage, normally very good, in terrible fashion.  We have examples featuring the Chiefs and Cowboys.    Adam Sandler is starring in Happy Gilmore 2 beginning Friday on Netflix and had some really great comments about Travis Kelce in the movie.    Salvy's two home runs Monday night have a really great side story as he took two boys out of the stands after the game and gave them bats.  They were boys he didn't know and this story is the stuff of legend.    The two candidates running for Mayor of Overland Park both indicate the Royals at 119th and Nall is unwanted by their residents.  One candidate goes as far as to say over 95% of people in the area hate it.   And our Final Final is the SMU football coach blasting the SEC.

Summer In the Psalms: Psalm 15- Dixon Psalm 15 Luke 10:38-42

In this episode of “At Your Convenience,” CSP Editor Chuck Ulie talks with Jennifer Loper of C3 Brand Marketing, Overland Park, Kansas, who spoke at CSP's C-Store Foodservice Forum June 18 in Schaumburg, Illinois.

From 2021 – 2023, Manhattan, Overland Park, and Wichita appeared to use most of their transient guest tax revenue appropriately, but a small portion was inappropriate or unclear. Kansas statute allows cities and counties to charge guests at hotels or other short-term lodgings a tax (called a transient guest tax), which local governments can then use to fund tourism-related expenditures. Most cities with a transient guest tax charge more than the 2% rate in statute because they use the home rule provision in the Kansas Constitution to exempt themselves. The 3 cities we reviewed spent transient guest revenues differently from 2021 to 2023 but most of their spending appeared to be appropriate. All 3 cities used transient guest tax revenues to pay the local convention and visitors bureaus to promote tourism. All 3 cities appeared to use transient guest tax revenues to finance tourism and convention related bonds. Wichita appeared to use transient guest tax revenues to maintain and operate existing tourism facilities. Manhattan and Wichita used transient guest tax revenues on direct grants or sponsorships for tourism. In 2023, Manhattan transferred $100,000 of its transient guest tax revenue to the general fund, but we could not determine if it was used appropriately because of a lack of documentation. Wichita spent $16,000 of guest tax revenue from 2021 – 2023 to cover city administrative and audit fees, which is inappropriate because the expenses are not related to tourism and conventions. Finally, we also found a difference between certain definitions in Wichita's transient guest tax ordinances and state law. As a result, since 1992, KDOR may have collected and Wichita may have received transient guest tax revenues from guests at some hotels and other lodging entities that aren't authorized in Wichita's charter ordinance.

Summer in the Psalms- Psalm 25- Huebner Psalm 25:1-10 Luke 10:25-37

   Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe is headed to NKC Friday to support the new sports authority in Clay County, this is a huge sign of support for the Royals new ballpark being built there.  Meanwhile, Chiefs president Mark Donovan makes another comment suggesting the team has it's eyes on a new stadium in Kansas.    It's been a wild 48 hours after my comments about Patrick Mahomes vacation photos buried 34 minutes deep into Monday's pod.  We appreciate Fox News for actually listening to what I said and getting the story right while everyone else wildly overreacted.  But hey, this is perfect.  I'm serious, the team can make me the bad guy if they want.  Even Mayor Q is piling on.    The Boys are playin' Some Ball again as the Royals have won 5 of 6.  The Big 12 commish drops an incredible stat about the league's QB's and gushes face to face with Avery Johnson on a hot mic.    In DC, an investigation into Russia, Russia, Russia is starting, Trump takes a grandfather clock from the State Department to the White House, Mars candy pushes back against RFK Jr and Overland Park is breaking the bank on a new City Hall.  

The Trump administration proposed slashing billions of dollars from federal health agencies, but a high school student from Overland Park has been pushing lawmakers to preserve cancer research funding. Plus, we remember a beloved Kansas City singer who died after a long battle with cancer.

What do pit bulls, frozen hurricanes, and minus-14 wind chills have in common? They're all part of the wild ride that's been the first half of 2025 for The Back of the Pack Podcast. In this episode, we lace up to break down the Stars and Stripes 5K in Overland Park — the race that let us run off the BBQ calories just in time for fireworks. But we don't stop there. We're rolling out our very first Packy's: the official, totally unserious mid-year awards for the best, worst, weirdest, and coldest running moments so far. From surprise PRs to regrettable sign-ups (looking at you, double hill climbs) and heartwarming heroes who remind us why we keep showing up — it's all here. Pour yourself a post-run drink (maybe not a giant Vegas Hurricane at 9 a.m.) and come celebrate six months of sweat, stories, and back-of-the-pack glory. Stick around — your own Packy might be waiting in December!

Summer In the Psalms: Psalm 16 – Goin-Burgess Psalm 16 Luke 9:51-62

No, not game, like deer and pheasant, but game like … board games, tabletop games, card games, miniature games. Basically, all the games of the world that happen solo, in pairs, in groups, around tables, at home, at cafes (like the one next door to his shop), and out in parks and fields and anywhere else you can roll some dice or move some tokens or share and swap some cards. Everything but the video games. The video games you go somewhere else for. Monopoly. Dungeons & Dragons. Apples to Apples. Cards Against Humanity. Vampire: The Masquerade. Warhammer 40K (this guy likes it so much, he's fighting to get a TV show made of it).  These are for the brave souls meeting at parties and in groups and using their imagination, competitive spirit, and full-throated laughter to fuel game experiences that happen in meatspace. TableTop Game & Hobby in Overland Park, Kan., has been open more than 30 years, and Stewart, years ago, was a young teen harassing the full owner then (now his partner) with stories about his games and characters and weird niche passions. Now, he gets to do the same for a new generation of teens as he's gone from employee to manager to co-owner. Want to know more about it? Listen in … and check out these links: TableTop Game & Hobby is, by far, my favorite RPG stores, thanks to inventory and, mostly, a great big room to play in for years and the best customer service I have ever experienced in a hobby store of any kind. Visit the website online, but if you're in town, o ever in town, go there! I've interviewed a lot of folks and gaming and gaming accessories, some as volunteer help for the best gaming convention I've ever been to, like TableTop also in Kansas City, but also for my own curiosity. Here are the episodes: My friend Jahmal, about running role-playing game sessions for money. He is a fantastic mixture of practical, philosophical, rule-delving, and story-loving. You might love getting nerdy with his stuff here, too. Gabi Dyck about hand-made dice. Sam Chupp about helping to make some of my favorite role-playing games. Noah Gibbs about helping to run another fantastic local gaming convention. KJ Davis about helping creatives get their work done.
