The newly crowned Miss Kansas Alexis Smith showed that winning the title sometimes requires bravery, too. Smith stunned the judges during her final interview at the Miss Kansas competition last month when she said that her abuser was in the audience. “But that’s not going to stop me from being on this Miss Kansas stage and from representing as the next Miss Kansas,” she continued to applause and cheers. “Domestic violence does not discriminate.”She’ll use her platform to continue to speak out against domestic violence in Kansas and beyond, she said. As the state winner, Smith was also awarded more than $15,000 in scholarships.

Aerospace supplier Spirit AeroSystems on Thursday said it will lay off some of its workers because of slower delivery rates on commercial aircraft as it struggles with a slowdown at its biggest commercial airplane customer, Boeing . Spirit AeroSystems told staff in a memo, reported earlier by Wichita-based KSN, that it would cut about 400 to 450 hourly employees. "We are committed to implementing this transition in as compassionate a manner as possible," Spirit AeroSystems said in a statement. Last week, Spirit AeroSystems said first-quarter Boeing deliveries decreased 31% from the same period in 2023, and said overall deliveries were down 11.3%. About 70% of Spirit AeroSystems' revenue last year came from Boeing, although the company also makes parts for Boeing's rival Airbus .
