It’s a scene we’ve all seen: The hero floats down a raging river toward a waterfall and certain doom. Imagine watching something like that for the first time, in a movie on a big screen, nearly 100 years ago. “Our Hospitality,” a feature-length silent film made by Buster Keaton in 1923, includes just such a dramatic scene. Both Keaton and his co-star and then-wife, Natalie Talmadge, survive near-death experiences in thrilling style and some acrobatic action on the edge of a waterfall. The Buster Keaton Celebration, “In Changing Times,” offered that movie for their Friday night feature presentation. Along with the edge-of-your-seat, heart-pounding action, a six-piece orchestra added to the adventure with exhilarating music. Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra performed a film score for both “Our Hospitality” and Saturday’s feature, “The Three Ages.”

Wichita State University says a relatively new mental health clinic on campus is offering comprehensive free counseling services to everyone in the Wichita community. “We wanted to be able to reach out to the community and try to break down the stigma around seeking mental health services,” said Dr. Jody Fiorini, chair of Intervention Services and Leadership in Education for Wichita State’s College of Applied Studies. WSU says counseling is different than psychology in that it’s more about wellness and preventative services than acute conditions. The clinic helps empower people to take control of their mental health and, at the same time, it gives WSU counseling students real-world experience. The WISE Clinic is staffed by graduate students in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Wichita State, and the student clinicians are supervised by the six faculty members who also work at the clinic. Most services are offered in-person or virtually.

Manhattan Regional Airport will receive nearly $6 million from the federal government to reconstruct its runway. The Department of Defense awarded the airport with $5.925 million earlier this week for its runway project. Defense officials said the money, which comes from the Defense Community Infrastructure Program, will support military use of the airport. The Federal Aviation Administration approved funding 90% of the cost for a 100-foot-wide runway, so the city government has been seeking additional money to cover costs for a 150-foot-wide runway, which better accommodates larger aircraft takeoffs for K-State and Fort Riley.

Grant Glenn began to think he wouldn’t see in his lifetime the historic Constitution Hall reach completion of its restoration process. The project has moved slowly and its momentum has stalled a few times through the years. When the rest of the world seemingly stopped in 2020, the restoration of Constitution Hall hit a turning point. Momentum picked up. That turning point was when the building’s facade was restored. The creamy white stone exterior is a replica of Constitution Hall’s original, 1855 facade. Glenn, a Friends of the Free State Capitol board member, said he now believes he will see the project’s end.

The tiny town of Pilsen is preparing for the return of its most famous native son. Residents spent the day cutting the grass and painting parking lines outside of the church in town where Father Emil Kapaun’s remains will be taken after they arrive in Wichita Saturday morning. It’s a day many in the town never thought would happen. “It’s one of the greatest feelings I’ve probably ever had in my life,” said Marvin Tajchman, who has worked at the church where Kapaun’s remains are going to be taken for the last 20 years. Residents like Tajchman and others say they don’t know exactly how many people will be coming to town but there preparing to accommodate as many as possible. It has been an entire town effort to spruce the place up, something the director of the Fr. Kapaun Museum, Harriet Bina, says is what the priest would have wanted.
