SUMMARY:Tarkio Nutrition Center celebrating 50 years Oct. 20
DESCRIPTION:Since October of 1975\, the Atchison County Multi-Purpose Center\, also known as the Tarkio Nutrition Center\, has been a vibrant cornerstone of community life\, thanks to the vision of Tarkio residents Dee Bare and Gavin Doughty. Recognizing a crucial need for a gathering place where senior citizens could connect\, their dream blossomed into a facility that initially served both Tarkio and Rock Port. True to its “multi-purpose” designation\, the center transcends mere meal service\, offering a wealth of activities designed to enrich social engagement and well-being of its patrons. Residents frequent the center for lively card games\, challenging puzzles\, a lending library\, Wifi access\, bingo\, and a friendly game of pool\, all fostering a strong sense of community. \nThe center continuously seeks to grow and enhance its offerings. It proudly partners with local organizations\, such as the health department\, to provide vital services like vaccinations and blood pressure checks. In five decades\, this vibrant community hub has seen leadership of only five administrators. From Lois Derrossett\, Joy Jackson\, and Dave Merriett\, to Julie Buhman\, and now\, Erika Daugherty\, this consistent stewardship has ensured an unwavering focus on the center’s core mission: fostering connections and improving the lives of its members. With such enduring commitment\, the Atchison County Multi-Purpose Center truly embodies a vital community spirit. \nTo commemorate this monumental milestone\, everyone is invited to join the Tarkio Nutrition Center staff and patrons on Monday\, October 20\, 2025\, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. for a special celebration. Come share your memories\, enjoy some fantastic food\, and help the center toast to 50 years of serving Tarkio! It has been an incredible five decades of bringing good food and good company to our community and it couldn’t have been done without everyone’s loyal support over the years.

SUMMARY:Titan submersible/Francis Scott Key Bridge salvager to speak at Tarkio Tech
DESCRIPTION:Paul Hankins\, who is retired from the U.S. Navy and is the Director of Salvage Operations and Navy Supervisor of Salvage and worked on the salvage operations of both the Titan submersible implosion and the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse\, will be speaking at Tarkio Tech. Listen to Paul\, whose wife and mother-in-law are former Tarkio residents and Tarkio College students\, share about his life and work. He will give a presentation at 10:00 a.m. Monday\, September 22\, at the Rotary Theatre in the Curnutt Center on the Tarkio Tech campus. The event is open to all. \nThe Titan submersible was a deep-sea vessel operated by OceanGate that imploded June 18\, 2023\, killing all five passengers during a voyage to the wreck of the Titanic in the northern Atlantic Ocean. It was the first privately owned submersible with a claimed maximum depth of 4\,000 meters and the first completed crewed submersible with a hull constructed of titanium and carbon fiber composite materials. On March 26\, 2024\, at 1:28 a.m. EDT\, the main spans and the three nearest northeast approach spans of the Francis Scott Key Bridge across the Patapsco River in the Baltimore metropolitan area of Maryland collapsed after the container ship Dali struck one of its piers. Six members of a maintenance crew working on the roadway were killed\, while two more were rescued from the river. The collapse blocked most shipping to and from the Port of Baltimore for 11 weeks and the economic impact of the closure of the waterway has been estimated at $15 million per day.
