City-operated buildings remain closed Tuesday, January 7 due to winter weather and poor road conditions.

This includes City Hall, Municipal Court, Flint Hills Discovery Center, Sunset Zoo, all three recreation centers, and the Ice Rink.

Manhattan officially received 14.8 inches of snow on Sunday, January 5 — its second-highest one-day snowfall total on record and the most in 125 years.

Travel is expected to remain very difficult today and Tuesday, with snow drifts making some roads impassable until they can be cleared. In addition, many abandoned vehicles are impeding emergency vehicle and snow plow access.

Municipal Court will remain closed Tuesday and any cases will be rescheduled to a future date. If you have a court appearance scheduled, please contact the court by Monday, January 13 to reschedule. Payment options include using the deposit in the payment box outside the Courthouse or paying online.

COL Erik Davis, a senior Special Forces Officer, discusses the purpose of Junior Officers in this short article.

Why do we hire 22-year-olds with no military experience to lead platoons? Why not keep them in the hands of NCOs with 10 years of experience? Why do we entrust company commands to young officers with half as many years of service?

Being a junior officer is very much about learning. But just because you’re junior, doesn’t mean you don’t know anything.

What a week for the Talons. We conducted the 71st Ordnance Group (EOD) Mission Readiness Brief at Fort Carson with our command teams. Aside from solidifying our position as the best EOD BN, we also climbed Mount Sherman which included command team tire repair for the 761st EOD Company command team. The 1st Infantry Division also recognized several of our Fort Riley teammates for the contributions to the BN and the State of Kansas. We concluded the week with a change of command ceremony for the 630th EOD Company. #talons #eod #winning #bingocard

Great week for the Talons: We conducted a 9/11 Memorial Workout across all three installations, a maintenance terrain walk with the 20th CBRNE Command Commanding General and concluded with the a Master Badge pinning ceremony with the 774th EOD Company. #crushinglife #EOD #talons #winning 704TH EOD 71st Ordnance Group (EOD) 761st EOD Company 752D Ordnance Company - EOD 797th Ordnance Company - EOD
