The 31st Annual Kansas Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony will be held on Friday at noon on the south steps of the capitol grounds.

“The heroes on the memorial paid the ultimate price performing their duty to protect the people of Kansas  Friday’s memorial ceremony gives us an opportunity to remember their lives and honor their sacrifice,” Governor Brownback said. “To their families, I offer my deepest thanks for their sacrifice and I offer my assurance that the people of Kansas will not forget you and the price that you have also paid.”

Since last year, Kansas has lost two law enforcement officers in the line of duty.  On December 16, 2012, Topeka Police Cpl. David Gogian and Officer Jeff Atherly were fatally shot after they responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle in a grocery store parking lot.

Cpl. Gogian and Officer Atherly’s names join the names of  267 law enforcement officers already listed on the Kansas Law Enforcement Officers Memorial located on the northeast corner of the capitol grounds.

SARA JANE RICHTER
Often with the barest of education themselves and modest supplies and
curriculum materials, frontier teachers taught all subjects to all students
of various ages, usually in one-room schoolhouses with little heat and
light. Richter will discuss how planting and harvesting schedules, weather,
and even strict social contracts on female teachers affected the education
of pioneer children.
