Cowboys and Cattletowns Yellow Brick Road Trip
The larger-than-life cowboy legends of the Old West were born on the frontier plains and in the cattletowns of Kansas. Wichita grew from a cattletown to the largest city in the state and few towns capture the spirit of the American cowboy like Dodge City. The Old West still lives in many other Kansas communities as well - Abilene, Newton, Caldwell and Ellsworth all keep the cowboy culture alive year-round!

Reigniting the rush of the Old West
In February 2008, a documentary was produced to communicate the partnerships being formed to support the development of the very first casino in Kansas, Boot Hill Casino & Resort.
The film was the result of more than 20 interviews, and 3 days of shooting and documenting the sites, sounds, and attractions of Dodge City, KS in the making of Old West, New Excitement.
The video was completed in time to be shown in a town-hall presentation by the developer, Butler National to state-wide committee members, as well as citizens who attended the public hearing.
Following the presentation, Butler National was chosen to be the developer of Boot Hill Casino & Resort.
After ten-years of lobbying and development, Boot Hill Casino & Resort is under construction and on-schedule to open its first phase in December 2009, including 575 slot machines and 10 gaming tables. The second phase will open December 2011 adding a 124 room hotel, pool, spa, additional restaurants and lounges, and generally doubling the gaming floor. Dodge City and Boot Hill are names known around the world hosting visitors since 1872. Now, Boot Hill Casino delivers on its promise of re-creating the legends of Old West with New Entertainment.

Robert Rebein: Dragging Wyatt Earp - August 4, 2013
Author Robert Rebein explores what it means to grow up in, leave, and ultimately return to the iconic Western town of Dodge City in a discussion of his new book.
The essays that make up 'Dragging Wyatt Earp: A Personal History of Dodge City' range from memoir to reportage to revisionist history. Rebein contrasts his hometown's Old West heritage with a New West reality that includes salvage yards, beefpacking plants, and bored teenagers cruising up and down Wyatt Earp Boulevard.

8. UPSOUND (English) Dennis Hopper/Actor-Director, referring to his bandaged injuries: I want to thank to the paparazzi, because yesterday I got up. I''d been working for this day to look as good as possible, to be as strong as possible. And so I got out my house yesterday and I was in the middle of the road, going to the van, and I was walking and somebody yelled from down the block, ''Hey! Dennis!'' And I thought I recognized the voice, so I kept walking and turned around, but I didn''t see the little ridge line in the road. And I took a terrible fall, because I have no muscles and things, so I fell directly on my face, and I had my glasses in my hand, so I got pretty screwed up. But anyway, I know you have a tough job, but sometimes maybe you should be a little more sensitive that . . . (Crowd applauds.)
9. Crowd cutaway
10. UPSOUND (English) Dennis Hopper/Actor-Director: Everyone here today that I''ve invited, and obviously some I haven''t invited, have enriched my life tremendously. They showed me a world that I would never have seen, being a farm boy from Dodge City, Kansas, and learning things that I would never have learned. I went under contract to Warner Brothers when I was 18 years old, so my colleagues and everything I''ve learned I learned from Hollywood.
11 Actor-director Dennis Hopper talking with actor-director Jack Nicholson
12. UPSOUND (English) Viggo Mortensen/Actor: Like any try artist, he has continually learned from, suffered over and, as frequently as possible, laughed at his own mistakes and his apparent dead ends. He keeps himself honest and he keeps those around him honest. ''Why do you say that? Where did that come from? Who did it first? Why does it matter? Maybe I''m wrong. I love you?'' are some of the phrases likely to come of his mouth at any time.His candor and essential modesty inspire fearlessness in others. As much he deserves this star on Hollywood Boulevard, and the many other professional honors he has received, it is this ability to instill a degree of fearlessness and wonder that sets himself apart as an artist and as a friend.
13. Wide of crowd
14. UPSOUND (English) Dennis Hopper/Actor-Director:
I love all of you. I just want to thank you. That''s all I can do. This means so much to me, and thank you very much everyone and all of you.

STORYLINE
DENNIS HOPPER WOF
Dennis Hopper is a permanent part of Hollywood.
Bandaged and looking frail, the 73-year-old actor and filmmaker was honored Friday with a star on Hollywood''s Walk of Fame.
Hopper, who is suffering from prostate cancer, appeared gaunt and was helped to the stage by a friend. The actor explained that his bandages were the result of a fall Thursday outside his home.
Surrounded by his family, Hopper thanked Hollywood for being my home and my schooling.
Jack Nicholson, Viggo Mortensen, David Lynch and Dwight Yoakam were among the luminaries on hand to honor their friend and colleague.
Hundreds of camera-toting spectators lined Hollywood Boulevard for the 30-minute ceremony. Hopper''s star is in front of the Egyptian Theatre.

Words at War: They Shall Inherit the Earth / War Tide / Condition Red
Germany invaded France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg on 10 May 1940.[67] The Netherlands and Belgium were overrun using blitzkrieg tactics in a few days and weeks, respectively.[68] The French-fortified Maginot Line and the Allied forces in Belgium were circumvented by a flanking movement through the thickly wooded Ardennes region,[69] mistakenly perceived by French planners as an impenetrable natural barrier against armoured vehicles.[70]
British troops were forced to evacuate the continent at Dunkirk, abandoning their heavy equipment by early June.[71] On 10 June, Italy invaded France, declaring war on both France and the United Kingdom;[72] twelve days later France surrendered and was soon divided into German and Italian occupation zones,[73] and an unoccupied rump state under the Vichy Regime. On 3 July, the British attacked the French fleet in Algeria to prevent its possible seizure by Germany.[74]
In June, during the last days of the Battle of France, the Soviet Union forcibly annexed Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania,[57] and then annexed the disputed Romanian region of Bessarabia. Meanwhile, Nazi-Soviet political rapprochement and economic cooperation[75][76] gradually stalled,[77][78] and both states began preparations for war.[79]
With France neutralized, Germany began an air superiority campaign over Britain (the Battle of Britain) to prepare for an invasion.[80] The campaign failed, and the invasion plans were canceled by September.[80] Using newly captured French ports, the German Navy enjoyed success against an over-extended Royal Navy, using U-boats against British shipping in the Atlantic.[81] Italy began operations in the Mediterranean, initiating a siege of Malta in June, conquering British Somaliland in August, and making an incursion into British-held Egypt in September 1940. Japan increased its blockade of China in September by seizing several bases in the northern part of the now-isolated French Indochina.[82]
Throughout this period, the neutral United States took measures to assist China and the Western Allies. In November 1939, the American Neutrality Act was amended to allow cash and carry purchases by the Allies.[83] In 1940, following the German capture of Paris, the size of the United States Navy was significantly increased and, after the Japanese incursion into Indochina, the United States embargoed iron, steel and mechanical parts against Japan.[84] In September, the United States further agreed to a trade of American destroyers for British bases.[85] Still, a large majority of the American public continued to oppose any direct military intervention into the conflict well into 1941.[86]
At the end of September 1940, the Tripartite Pact united Japan, Italy and Germany to formalize the Axis Powers.[87] The Tripartite Pact stipulated that any country, with the exception of the Soviet Union, not in the war which attacked any Axis Power would be forced to go to war against all three.[88] During this time, the United States continued to support the United Kingdom and China by introducing the Lend-Lease policy authorizing the provision of materiel and other items[89] and creating a security zone spanning roughly half of the Atlantic Ocean where the United States Navy protected British convoys.[90] As a result, Germany and the United States found themselves engaged in sustained naval warfare in the North and Central Atlantic by October 1941, even though the United States remained officially neutral.[91][92]
The Axis expanded in November 1940 when Hungary, Slovakia and Romania joined the Tripartite Pact.[93] In October 1940, Italy invaded Greece but within days was repulsed and pushed back into Albania, where a stalemate soon occurred.[94] In December 1940, British Commonwealth forces began counter-offensives against Italian forces in Egypt and Italian East Africa.[95] By early 1941, with Italian forces having been pushed back into Libya by the Commonwealth, Churchill ordered a dispatch of troops from Africa to bolster the Greeks.[96] The Italian Navy also suffered significant defeats, with the Royal Navy putting three Italian battleships out of commission by a carrier attack at Taranto, and neutralising several more warships at the Battle of Cape Matapan.[97]
