“It is with sadness that I am leaving The Examiner and my hometown community, but this an exciting challenge and opportunity for me,” said Brendel, a Fort Osage High School graduate. “I am leaving The Examiner in good hands, and I know the staff will continue to strive for new and better ways to cover and deliver local news and sports information to the community.“

“The majority of my time will still be spent at The Examiner,” Curd said. “With Dale in charge in Leavenworth, I have complete confidence that things will progress nicely at that newspaper. Dale is a newspaper veteran, and I have complete confidence in him. I will spend one day a week in Leavenworth and four days at The Examiner.”
