The event is set to take place from noon to 8 p.m. at the sheriff’s office, 118 S. Pearl St. Undersheriff Wayne Minckley said the public is invited to attend and tour the entire facility.

Sheriff’s officials, along with members of a community jail task force, will be on hand to answer questions about the aging facility. A discussion about whether a new jail should be built and how to fund it has been ongoing for more than a year.

A task force, which consisted of 19 community members from different backgrounds, was created by the County Commission early in 2011 to explore issues related to the overcrowded jail and to suggest solutions. They met for several months and visited jails in three other counties before finalizing a recommendation for the commission.

The findings of the task force were ansee JAIL on A7

Volunteers honored during medical center luncheon New doctors and procedures recognized

By Terrie Cole terrie.cole@miconews.com

Achievements and Opportunities was the theme of the 16th annual Miami County Medical Center Auxiliary and Volunteer Luncheon at Town Square on July 11.

Members of the auxiliary, volunteers and guests enjoyed a meal catered by Molly’s Table.

Auxiliary President Gerri Diviney offered a prayer before the meal.

Paul Luce, director of patient care at Miami County Medical Center, talked to the crowd about new doctors and procedures that are now available at the hospital.

There is a new gynecologist and ophthalmologist, and an ear, nose and throat doctor is coming. The medical center offers full-scale orthopedic care that includes total joint replacement, and two eye surgeons are performing eye surgery. He also said MCMC is one of 32 hospitals in Kansas that is emergency

stroke ready.

“We have something special at Miami County Hospital,” Luce said.

He expressed appreciation to the volunteers for helping to make the facility run smoothly.

Volunteers recognized for 100 hours or more of service in 2011 and receiving Excellence Awards were: Irene Hodge, 107 hours; Lakemary students, 123 hours; Betty Moser, 154 hours; Robin Hammar, 156 hours; Pamela Carter, 163 hours; Kathy Nicholson, 172 hours; Terrill Williams, 173 hours; Cheryl Mueller, 178 hours; Loretta Bell, 182 hours; Linda Hess, 186 hours; Mary Agnew, 196 hours; JoAnn Porter, 217 hours; Margaret Balch, 220 hours; Gerri Diviney, 229 hours; JoAnn Curran, 268 hours; Helen Scott, 277 hours; Elizabeth Smith, 312 hours; Helen Blakeman, 318 hours; Dorothy Chancellor, 326 hours; and Glenn Chitwood, 801 hours.

Amy Gregory to speak at library

By Brian McCauley bmccauley@miconews.com

Former Paola resident Amy Gregory has accomplished what so many dream of doing — becoming an author.

After having written a fiction book within a week’s time, Gregory found herself anxiously waiting to hear from publishing companies.

After receiving multiple rejection letters, she finally got the call from Sapphire Star Publishing Company saying they wanted to publish her book. In fact, they

wanted a series of books, the fourth of which she is currently writing, according to a news release.

Local residents will get a chance to meet Amy and talk to her about her experience at the Paola Free Library next week. Amy will be signing books from 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, after which she will talk and answer questions, followed by more book sales and autographing.

Amy loves racing and is a romantic at heart, and both of these themes make their way into her series,

appropriately entitled, “Racing to Love.” The first book, now on the market, is “Carter’s Treasure.” Subsequent titles are “Jesse’s Soul” (releasing January 2013), “Eli’s Honor” (July 2013), and the one in progress, “Alex’s Destiny” (December 2013), according to the release.

Amy graduated from Paola High School in 1991 as Amy Goodwin. She later married Brian Gregory, also a PHS graduate. The couple own and manage Network Innovations in Olathe. They have three children.

Candidate forum results to run next week A forum for candidates in local contested races for the Aug. 7 primary election was scheduled to take place Tuesday night at the Paola Community Center, but the results were not available

hours.

Helen Scott received the Volunteer of the Year award for her work in the hospital gift shop.

Members of the auxiliary who died in the past year were Terry Fickel and Janet Lewis. Janet was an auxiliary lifetime member.

A nursing scholarship in the amount of $2,000 was awarded to Kayleigh Shay of Osawatomie who was not present. She is completing her nursing degree at Baker University.

Recipients of the scholarships are chosen by the MCMC Auxiliary to be used

by the students for tuition or books. This year’s scholarship is one of 114 awarded over the past 56 years. The auxiliary provides scholarships to nursing students with the hope that one day they may return to Miami County to work in the MCMC system.

Allyssa Sapp provided the entertainment for the program. She sang several songs as guests finished their lunch.

Green plant centerpieces on each table served as door prizes.

Taco night will benefit choral society Hungry Spring Hill residents will get the chance to chow down on some tacos and help out a local organization next weekend.

The Festival Choral Society will be having a taco fiesta night from 5 to 7 p.m. July 28 at Spring Hill Baptist Church, 406 W. Nichols St. The cost is by donation, and all proceeds go to support the Festival Choir’s and

Festival Ensemble’s spring and Christmas concerts, according to a news release.

The choirs are under the direction of Eric Jones and are sponsored by businesses, civic organizations and individuals. For more information, contact the society at FCSociety@embarqmail. com or call (913) 592-2055 or (913) 481-5349.

OPINION EDITORIAL

OUR PLEDGE:

Jail tours give public the chance to become educated

M

iami County officials have spent more than a year reviewing options, debating details and researching the condition of the Miami County Jail, but the average resident likely has no idea what goes on behind those brick walls at 118 S. Pearl St. If Miami County leaders want the voting members of the public to support the construction of a new facility, it makes sense that they would first allow the public to see what currently is being used.

That opportunity will come Friday during an open house, and it’s an event Miami County residents would be wise to attend.

An educated public is good for the county, but it’s easy to be uneducated when it comes to the jail. By nature, the operations of the facility are largely unseen. That’s why it is important for the public to take this opportunity to learn about these operations so they can see where their tax dollars are being spent and how they are being kept safe.

The open house is set to take place from noon to 8 p.m. at the sheriff’s office, 118 S. Pearl St. Undersheriff Wayne Minckley said the public is invited

to attend and tour the entire facility.

Sheriff’s officials, along with members of a community jail task force, will be on hand to answer questions about the aging facility, which was built in the 1960s and is frequently overcrowded.

No official decision has been made yet on whether a new jail will be built or where it might be located.

It hasn’t even been decided how it will be funded, although commissioners have discussed using some of the money that will be available in 2015 once bonds are paid off.

Even with those details not yet finalized, it’s clear that a new or renovated jail will become a necessity sometime in the near future. A community task force met for several months and visited jails in three other counties last year before ultimately recommending that a new jail be built on a new site to be determined by the County Commission.

Miami County residents have the right to come up with their own opinions on the jail dilemma, but whatever stance they choose to take would be strengthened by the facts and firstperson information that will be available Friday.

kagway is a busy port city with a population of 968. It is located at the northernmost point on the Inside Passage in southeast Alaska. It is 100 air miles north of Juneau, Alaska (air miles because there is no road to Juneau), and 112 road miles south of Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. The harbor is filled with cruise ships, some boarding for points west toward Vancouver, which is 1,665 miles, and some arriving from Vancouver to begin a similar trip north into the Yukon.

Our ship was the “Volendam,” one of several cruise ships owned by the Holland America Line. It has 10 decks, 12 passenger elevators, accommodates 1,440 passengers and 620 crew members. We soon discovered the ship had every amenity known to man. Our first assignment was to gather at the lifeboats for a safety demonstration. After this we were free to enjoy the ship as we slowly moved along the “Inside Passage” toward Glacier National Park.

Our first night we located the many dining rooms available. A formal dining hall required reservations and seated about 200 at a time. If you were not into formal dining, you could eat at a buffet-style spread, which had more choices than one could sample. Dining tables lined both sides of the ship with views of the ocean as you dined. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were served buffet-style every day, and if you preferred, you could order your meal served in your room.

In addition to the dining halls, there were 11 bars or lounges where your every drinking desire could be met.

Students perform at piano recital Student Lydia Beets performs a piece on the piano under the instruction of Bonnie Wendt during a recital July 8 at Osawatomie High School.

By Travis Perry travis.perry@miconews.com

Nearly 30 local youths showed off their ivory-tickling talents July 8 during the Music Studio’s annual piano recital at Osawatomie High School.

Led by instructor Bonnie Wendt, who is now in her 61st year of teaching piano lessons, the event featured a range of performances and levels of experience. Shining the spotlight on budding beginners and experienced seniors alike, family and friends had ample opportunity to hear the students’ hard work in action.

“It seems like I’d get used to it but I don’t,” Wendt said as she addressed the crowd before the performance. “It’s such a blessing to see the

BBBS golf tournament moved to Aug. 18

By Travis Perry travis.perry@miconews.com

The annual golf tournament fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami County has been rescheduled, Executive Director Erin Lyon announced last week.

A scheduling conflict with another tournament on the same day at the Osawatomie Municipal Golf Course served as reason for Lyon to bump the tournament from its planned date Saturday to Aug. 18. Lyon hopes the change will encourage more teams to sign up and, in turn, help out the local mentoring organization.

While a handful of teams

have signed up already, Lyon said there’s plenty of room for more. The cost to register for the four-man scramble is $75, which includes green fees and cart rental fees; breakfast, served by Sonic Drive-In; and pulled pork sandwiches for lunch, smoked and prepared by Osawatomie City Manager Don Cawby.

In addition to the competition on the course, players and spectators alike will have the chance to bid in a silent auction on a variety of sports memorabilia.

For more information, contact Lyon at (913) 2944403 or by email at elyon@ ksbbbs.org.

Looking for a country music star Performers compete in Paola for chance at fame

By Brian McCauley brian.mccauley@miconews.com

If teenager Braidyn Rucker becomes a country music superstar someday, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to trace her beginnings to the Paola Community Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage.

Rucker showed off her powerful singing voice Saturday during the Texaco Country Showdown at the Community Center, and her performance earned her first place and a chance to compete in the state competition.

The showdown was organized by Paolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radio station KWJP 89.7, and it featured nine performers who earned their chance to compete during preliminary auditions July 8. Contestants traveled to Paola from across the state to perform Saturday, but some, like Paola High School graduates Margo Rodewald

and Eric Wilson, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go too far to get their shot at stardom.

Each spring, radio stations across the nation participate in the Texaco Country Showdown, offering hometown talent a showcase for artistic skills. Vocal and instrumental acts competed Saturday for a chance to advance to the Kansas State Texaco Country Showdown and a $1,000 cash prize.

State winners will move on to a regional competition, and five regional winners will receive an all-expense paid trip to the national finals. National finalists will compete for a $100,000 grand prize and the national title, according to a news release.

Braidyn, a 17-year-old from Newton, Kan., sang â&#x20AC;&#x153;Same Old Youâ&#x20AC;? by Miranda Lambert, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Lookinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at Countryâ&#x20AC;? by Loretta Lynn and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dirt Road Prayerâ&#x20AC;? by Lauren Alaina during her performances Saturday.

Joey Glenn, a recording artist with Studio 57 Entertainment, served as the judge for

Braidyn Rucker shows off the award she received after winning the Texaco Country Showdown at the Paola Community Center on Saturday.

Rucker now moves on to the state level. The event was sponsored by KWJP 89.7.

Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition, and she was impressed with the overall talent on display during the showdown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was not easy by any means,â&#x20AC;? Glenn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a lot of really great talent.â&#x20AC;?

In the end, Glenn chose Braidyn as the winner, but she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rule out the possibility of there being multiple future stars in the bunch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go pretty far,â&#x20AC;? Glenn said.

One of those future stars may be 14-year-old Kaleigh Smith of Topeka, who was the runner-up Saturday. Kaleigh sang and played the guitar, and she also knows how to play the piano and cello. She sang songs by LeAnn Rimes, Jason Aldean and Avril Lavigne during the competition.

Rob Lile, co-owner of Studio 57 Entertainment in Overland Park, was on hand Saturday to watch the performances and give some ad-

vice to the budding singers.

For winning the competition, Braidyn earned herself an artist development package through Studio 57. Lile said the company is not a record label, but instead an artist development and management agency that teaches everything from vocal and instrumental training to the ins and outs of copyright laws.

After the showdown, Lile sat down with Braidyn and her family to go over what

DEFYGRAVITY

lies ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be like your dad for the next three weeks,â&#x20AC;? he told her.

Lile, who lives in Osawatomie, said he also handed out his card to five other performers Saturday because he saw potential. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a potential that he hopes they all someday will discover, along with the rest of the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is talent out there that needs an opportunity and a chance,â&#x20AC;? Lile said.

fire: Puppy causes fire by chewing on electrical cord continued from A1

Luke Ranker / luke.ranker@miconews.com

The Miami County Jail will be open for the public to tour during an open house from noon to 8 p.m. Friday.

jail: Overcrowding and age of facility have prompted discussion of a new jail continued from A1 nounced in September of last year. The main recommendation was that a new jail be built on a new site to be determined by the County Commission. The task force found the current jail to be antiquated in design, inadequate to meet the needs of inmates and staff members, unsafe and incapable of costeffective renovation as the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only jail. The task force recommended that a new jail be a 90-bed facility, which would be big enough to house inmates from other areas to help generate revenue to pay for the jail.

Earlier this year, county commissioners reviewed the results of a study Treanor Architects completed on the existing jail facility. The re-

sults estimated that it would cost between $2.9 million and $4.1 million to expand the current facility to a 46bed jail, and it would cost between $2.1 million and $2.6 million to remodel the current facility to feature a sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and court holding cells, with the understanding that a new jail would be built elsewhere.

During an April study session, all of the commissioners tentatively agreed that a new jail was necessary, and several expressed interest in building the jail on a new site and with enough land to expand in the future to possibly accommodate a new home for Miami County District Court and the Miami County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office.

ment captain Joe Flake said, on arrival, crews saw smoke coming from the northeast corner of the structure.

In all, Flake said it took firefighters about 45 to 50 minutes to get the blaze under control, a task made more difficult by the weather. Hot and humid conditions, combined with the high heat of the fire inside the home, was cause for rapid exhaustion among the firefighters.

Homeowner Nichol Waisner said she and her daughters Hope, 17, and Erika, 14, were sitting in the living room Friday morning when Hope went to check on their three dogs, which were in Nich-

After unsuccessfully attempting to put out the blaze with bowls of water, the

Waisners grabbed their dogs and ran outside to call 911.

As best she can figure, Nichol said, the fire was likely started by one of their youngest dogs, a puppy, chewing on an electrical cord

plugged into an outlet in the headboard of her bed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no clothes, I have nothing,â&#x20AC;? Nichol said as she watched firefighters extinguish the blaze.

Osawatomie law enforcement officers have been canvassing the highway and digging up surveillance video in an effort to track down a man who allegedly impersonated a police officer and sexually assaulted a woman on July 2 on U.S. Highway 169 near 327th Street.

Assistant Police Chief Bob Butters said the department stopped about 200 to 250 vehicles exiting U.S. Highway 169 between 9:15 and 11:30 p.m. July 9 at the Main Street and Osawatomie State Hospital off ramps. He said officers were attempting to find drivers who may have seen the vehicle in which the 18-year-old woman was sexually assaulted.

The Osawatomie Police

Department is requesting that anyone who may have witnessed the traffic stop or traveled on U.S. Highway 169 in the vicinity of the incident between the hours of 10-11 p.m.

July 9, to please contact the department at (913) 755-2101.

According to a news release from the Osawatomie Police Department, the suspect was reported to have been driving a white Crown Victoria car similar to those used by law enforcement agencies.

The car had lights on the front dash and a siren.

The release went on to state that the suspect is a white male in his early to mid 20s, with a mustache and goatee. He was described as 5-feet 9-inches or shorter, and wore a black polo-type shirt and black pants with a law enforcement badge sewed on the chest. The suspect also had a gun and a badge on his belt.

The woman called the Miami County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Jayhawks gather for alumni event

Office at 10:39 p.m. to report she had been sexually assaulted by the suspect.

She was pulled over before 10 p.m., and the stop lasted for more than an hour.

It is believed the suspect is not a law enforcement officer.

Butters said, according to the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement, the suspect conducted a number of procedural tests in an attempt to mimic the behavior of a police officer.

However, Butters added, the man did not follow the kind of procedures one would expect of a trained law enforcement officer.

Law enforcement officials would like to remind individuals that if you are stopped by a police officer, and you have any concerns about the validity of the officer, you can call 911 and the dispatcher can verify the officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions. For those without a cell phone, drive to the nearest police station or the Miami County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office.

University of Kansas officials visit Paola

By Luke Ranker luke.ranker@miconews.coM

Miami County Jayhawks had the chance to meet and mingle the morning of July 11 at a University of Kansas Alumni Association reception at Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Table in Paola.

Bob Nicholson, an alumnus from Paola, said the reception was a way for local alumni to mingle and speak with current school officials. Tim Caboni, KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice chancellor for public affairs, and Karen Miller, senior vice chancellor and dean of the School of Nursing and Allied Health, were present to talk about the university. Caboni said the reception was one of several planned events in a Kansas and national tour to promote the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flagship school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be the University of Kansas, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be the university of all of Kansas,â&#x20AC;? Caboni said.

parties, as well as provides information to high schools and assists in recruiting students.

The association also established the Kansas Honors Program, which honors the top 10 percent of graduating seniors.

Nicholson said the main topic of discussion among the alumni who attended the reception was KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to raise admission requirements for incoming freshmen. The proposal has him worried that attendance at the school will drop significantly. He said of the around 40 area students the Kansas Honors Program recognized this year, only about seven planned to attend KU. Nicholson said most students opted for cheaper and smaller schools, which is what he originally had done too.After realizing the small school wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for him, he transferred to KU where he earned his law degree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid of the size of a school,â&#x20AC;? Nicholson said.

Caboni said the tour would help the university understand the communities students come from and where future doctors, pharmacists and lawyers would return to.

A Louisiana native, Caboni was also using the tour as a way to gain personal connection to Kansas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to know and love this state,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Miller discussed the School of Nursingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s push into online classes and how it plans to partner with community colleges to provide satellite courses away from the main campus in Kansas City, Kan. About 20 alumni attended the reception, Caboni said, which is a perfect number because it allowed him and Miller to visit with people personally rather than giving a presentation. Nicholson said the local alumni chapter has around 8,500 members. He said this was the first reception the local alumni chapter had sponsored, but the Alumni Association typically hosts a popular event at Somerset Ridge Vineyard and Winery, football and basketball watch

Wilma Stewart Hawks Susan Jane McLaughlin 1954-2012 Susan Jane McLaughlin, 58, formerly of Paola, died unexpectedly July 8, 2012, in Lawrence, her home for nearly four decades.

She was born Feb. 12, 1954, in Kansas City, M o. , a n d adopted one month later by Drew and Marjorie McLaughlin of Paola.

Susan graduated from Paola High School in 1972 and the University of Kansas in 1978 with a journalism degree. She sold advertising for the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper, and then served as an elementary school secretary in Lawrence.

She later became a registered nurse, worked as a school nurse in Eudora, and most recently worked in private nursing care in Lawrence. Her affection for and dedication to those in her care marked her medical career.

She was an avid KU basketball fan. One of the highlights of her life was watching her beloved Jayhawks win the national championship in 2008 from a courtside seat next to NBA all-star Clyde Drexler, all thanks to her gregarious personality and the serendipitous generosity of a stranger.

She loved gardening, knitting funky scarves, collecting baskets and artsy jewelry, free movies, dreaming of living on a beach, snuggling with her dogs, and especially quality time with her family and friends. She was a loving mother and devoted friend.

Susan was often the life of the party. She had a clever, sometimes edgy,

always self-deprecating sense of humor. She could find humor in almost anything.

1922-2012 Wilma Stewart Hawks, 80, died peacefully after a long illness at her home in Sonoma, Calif., on June 26, 2012.

A long-time resident of Paola, Mrs. Hawks was born March 26, 1922, in Winona Lake, Ind., to traveling evangelists, the Rev. Charlie and Fae Hudson Stewart.

The family later settled in Kansas City, Mo., where she graduated from high school and attended the University of Kansas at Lawrence while working at the Kansas City Star. When the Rev. Stewart retired, the family moved to the Hudson family home in Olathe.

In 1942, Wilma married Jackson Davis Hawks, a civilian flight instructor for the Army Air Corps who subsequently enlisted for active duty in Europe. During her marriage, she learned to fly several different types of airplanes, including the notoriously difficult Stearman.

Divorced with three young children in 1951, she returned to Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia to earn her bachelor’s degree and a teaching credential.

Her teaching career took her to Utah and the Southwest, Oklahoma, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as schools in Kansas. After she retired from teaching, Mrs. Hawks worked for a few years as a clerk at the State Hospital in Osawatomie while helping care for her aging mother in Garnett.

After her mother’s death, she moved back to Paola and devoted herself to her sister’s grandchildren. She was ac-

tive in the children’s schools and sports activities and was known for her bottomless cookie jar.

In 1955, she retired a third time, moving with her sister, Roberta Denton, to the town of Sonoma. There she enjoyed the dramatic Northern California Coast, the lovely rolling hills and vineyards, the many historic sites and making new friends. She delighted everyone with her artful handwork: crocheting lap robes, baby afghans and charming stuffed animals. Most of these gifts found homes nearby, but one very special set of baby things traveled to Katmandu, Nepal, to welcome the daughter of a Sherpa guide who had saved her daughter’s life on a trek in the Himalayas.

Mrs. Hawks is survived by her daughters, Roberta Hawks Harter of Reno, Nev., and Elizabeth Hawks Thompson of San Rafael; her son, Jackson D. Hawks II of Sioux City, Iowa; four grandchildren and one greatgrandchild.

At her request, no formal services will be held. Her cremated remains were privately scattered in the Pacific Ocean just beyond the Golden Gate Bridge.

Arrangements are under the direction of Duggan’s Mission Chapel, Mission Cremation Service, 525 West Napa St., Sonoma, CA 95476.

Inquiries can be made to them at (707) 996-3655 or by visiting their website at www.duggansmissionchapel.com.

After returning home, he rekindled his friendship with Etta Irene Gillogly, a teacher at Moore School in Louisburg. On Feb. 19, 1946 — Etta’s birthday — they married in Fort Scott, and kept it a secret until school let out in April so that Etta could finish out the year. Together, they returned to Lind and Phillips Farms, where Lester worked as a wheat rancher until he retired in 1984.

In 1985, they moved back to Louisburg.

He was proud to be involved with his community. He played a role in the first Lind Rodeo; he was a 32nd Degree Master Mason, and was also a member of the Shriners and Eastern Star.

ily. His wisdom, kindness and playful sense of humor will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Mapping out future growth Study identifies seven sites ready for development

By Brian McCauley bmccauley@miconews.com

Miami County officials now have an idea of what areas might develop first once the economy gets moving again.

During a study session July 11, Economic Development Director Janet McRae reviewed the results of a site study recently conducted by Renaissance Infrastructure Consulting.

The study maps out the county’s infrastructure and identifies potential regions for development.

The initial study cost $9,750, along with an additional $200 for direct expenses, such as mileage. Miami County funded about $3,500, and Kansas City Power & Light contributed $2,500 toward the study. The remain-

ing funds were provided

by Paola, Louisburg and Osawatomie.

McRae said 186 potential tracts throughout the county were narrowed down based on things like availability of water and other utilities. Once the study was narrowed to 40 high priority sites, city officials were contacted to help narrow the sites even further, McRae said.

Seven sites were selected for the complete study, but McRae emphasized that there are other areas that also could grow in the future. These were simply the seven sites that were deemed to have the most impact with the least initial cost for a developer.

“Just because you’re not on the list, doesn’t mean you’re not developable,” McRae said.

The seven sites are: 223rd Street and U.S. Highway 69, 255th Street and U.S. Highway 169, Kansas Highway 68 and Hedge Lane, Kansas Highway

68 and U.S. Highway 69, 223rd Street and Sunflower Road, Lone Star Road and U.S. Highway 169, and Moonlight Road and 327th Street.

McRae showed the commissioners last week an interactive map the study created, which allows layers of infrastructure information to be turned on and off. McRae said the study can be used to help potential developers, and she has already given it to local real estate agents.

The commissioners agreed that the study was worth the money, and it should be useful moving forward to help promote and steer growth in the county.

“This is probably one of the best tools the county has ever had,” Commissioner Rob Roberts said.

The future of a proposed live action role playing park called Camp Possum is still up in the air while county commissioners wait and see if the developers are willing to pay for a required traffic study.

Commissioners reviewed the issue during their July 11 meeting. The developers are seeking a conditional-use permit for the camp located on the south side of 403rd Street about .75 miles west of Cold Water Springs Road in southeast Miami County.

The commissioners spoke with Joe Bearden of Intellectual Properties, who was representing the group look-

ing to build the camp, and Dan Penner, who owns property adjacent to the proposed camp. Penner spoke out against the proposed camp, citing the poor condition of the nearby roads, safety, drainage, noise, hunting and fire threats, and other concerns.

“More power to them to live their direction, but just not there,” Penner said. “That’s not the way that ground should be used.”

The Miami County Planning Commission previously recommended denial of the CUP request because the applicants refused to conduct a traffic study as requested.

The condition of 399th and 403rd streets was the primary concern prompting the need for a traffic study.

Bearden said Wednesday the traffic study would cost an additional $4,000, and it likely would suggest road improvements that could cost more than $100,000, which is

5. 223rd Street and Sunflower Road

2. 255th Street and U.S. Highway 169

6. Lone Star Road and U.S. Highway 169

3. Kansas Highway 68 and Hedge Lane

7. Moonlight Road and 327th Street

4. Kansas Highway 68 and U.S. Highway 69

why they decided not to have it done since they already spent about $20,000 planning the site.

Bearden did say that if the traffic study truly was the only issue, and the commissioners were willing to move forward with the proposed plan with the study, he would contact his superiors to see if they would reconsider doing the traffic study.

The commissioners reiterated the importance of the study and tabled a vote on the CUP for two weeks to give the applicant time to decide if they want to move forward with the traffic study or not.

In other business during the July 11 meeting, the commissioners: Listened to Herbert West III speak during public comment. West said he is a candidate for Miami County sheriff, and he handed out copies of a letter from the Kansas Governmental Ethics Com-

Miami County Counselor David Heger said the four fire chiefs in the county were contacted before the decision was made.

Heger said Jeff Francis, chief of Johnson County Fire District No. 2 in Spring Hill, and Paul Richards, Louisburg Fire Chief, both were strongly in favor of a fire ban. Paola Fire Chief Andy Martin and Osawatomie Fire Chief DuWayne Tewes were not opposed to a ban, but they also weren’t as adamant about the need, Heger said.

The commissioners agreed that a future discussion needs to be had to review the current process for initiating a burn ban and how the public is notified.

Land application of sewage may be banned Regulating process also a possibility

By Brian McCauley bmccauley@miconews.com

After learning last week about a company that is dumping raw sewage onto agricultural ground in the county, Miami County commissioners expressed a desire to stop the operation immediately and research whether the practice should be regulated or strictly prohibited in the future.

The issue was discussed during a study session July 11. Chief Codes Official Mike Davis said it was discovered that Dailey Septic Service of Gardner has been pumping raw sewage out of septic tanks onto agricultural ground located on the southeast corner of 239th Street and Bethel Church Road.

Davis said the land application of the sewage is not following the regulations mapped out by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment or the Environmental Protection Agency. The commissioners agreed that the operation needs to be stopped immediately, but there was some disagreement as to whether to prohibit land application of waste in Miami County in the future or to create a new policy to regulate it.

Davis said there are people in the county who use the land application process properly, but it is difficult to regulate because the EPA has a limited amount of inspectors. He recommended that if the commissioners choose to regulate it, a land application license be created.

Johnson County does not allow land application, and Franklin County only allows it on property that is owned by the septic pumper contractor.

No official decision could be made at the study

session.

Also during the study session, the commissioners reviewed two more drafts of the county’s proposed 2013 budget. The first draft would maintain the current mill levy of 42.177, but the county would generate $81,323 less in property tax revenue because the county’s assessed valuation decreased by about 1.2 percent. The second draft would be to increase the mill levy to 42.411 to make up the loss in assessed valuation. Whether or not a landowner’s taxes increase or decrease would depend on what happened to their individual assessed valuation.

No official decision was made, but the commissioners seemed to favor option two, with the mill levy increase.

The commissioners also met with Planning Director Erik Pollom to review the most recent Planning Commission meeting. Pollom said Green Country Soils is seeking a zoning downgrade on nearby property from business park to agriculture so that it can remove topsoil at the site.

Pollom said the conditionaluse permit likely would be for 20 years, with a review after the first two years.

Pollom also said Rutlader Outpost is looking to expand its RV lot by an additional 40 spaces. The commissioners said projects like the La Cygne Power Plant expansion are good for Miami County because it brings in workers who live temporarily in places like Rutlader’s RV lot.

Pollom also reminded the commissioners that a public hearing to review the county’s proposed text amendments to allow gravel parking lots with paved approaches for commercial and industrial uses is set to take place at 7 p.m.

Aug. 14 during the Miami County Planning Commission meeting at the Miami County Administration Building.

Council approves ward changes New boundaries coincide with 2010 census

By Brian McCauley bmccauley@miconews.com

Some Paola residents may find themselves in a new ward after the Paola City Council last week approved new ward boundaries to better align with the population numbers provided by the 2010 census.

The changes were first discussed during a March work session, and council members officially approved the ordinance during their July 10 meeting. City Clerk Dan Droste, who worked to help map out the new boundaries, said the changes will not have an impact on the August primary or November general election because there are no city issues on the ballots. The next city election would be April 2013.

The 2010 census numbers show that there are 1,240 people in Ward 1; 1,100 people in Ward 2; 1,432 people in Ward 3 and 1,830 people in Ward 4.

The difference of 730 people between the smallest and largest wards is much larg-

er than it should be, Droste said.

The approved changes move much of Wards 2 and 3 north one block, and Ward 1 captures some of Ward 4’s previous territory between Pearl and Maple streets and Tower and Piankishaw streets.

There now are 1,339 people in Ward 1; 1,491 people in Ward 2; 1,365 people in Ward 3 and 1,407 people in Ward 4.

Droste said he intentionally gave Ward 2 the most people because it had the lowest percentage of growth in the 2010 census.

Ward 1 is represented by Jim Pritchard, Ward 2 is represented by Gee Gee Wilhoite, Ward 3 is represented

by Leigh House, and Ward 4 is represented by Kevin Clouse.

In other business during the July 10 meeting, the council members: »» ReviewedGov.SamBrownback’s executive order declaring Miami County to be in a drought warning. City Manager Jay Wieland said the city’s water source is very secure, and the council members decided not to declare a water watch or warning at the current time. Wieland said the council could declare a water watch, warning or

emergency at a later date if it is deemed necessary. »» Conducted a work session to review the proposed 2013 budget. The proposed budget includes a mill levy of 41.808, which is a .499 increase from the current mill levy. Despite the increase, the city will generate less tax revenue because of a decrease in the city’s assessed valuation by 1.95 percent. The budget includes a 2-percent cost of living increase for city employees following three years of no salary increases.

It also includes no transfers into the machinery equipment and replacement fund for the fourth straight year, a trend the city officials agreed would eventually catch up with them. Other highlights of the budget include the addition of a full-time school resource officer to the police department to be funded by a COPS FAST grant. It also includes an estimated increase to the sewer service volume charge between 2 and 4 cents per 100 gallons of use, a proposed water rate increase of at least 2.5 cents per 100 gallons to be implemented no later than Jan. 1, 2013, and a proposed increase of 25 cents per month to the sewer debt service fee.

Notice of Public Hearing KCP&L Rate Increase Request Kansas City Power & Light (KCP&L) has filed a request with the Kansas Corporation Commission (Commission) to increase its Kansas retail rates by approximately $63.55 million. If granted, rates will increase by approximately 12.9%.

Under KCP&L’s proposal, the average residential customer using 1490 kWh in the summer months and 800 kWh in the winter months, will see an increase of approximately 41 cents a day or about $12.34 a month. Residential customers who use electricity to heat their homes may experience a higher average daily and monthly increase due to increased usage in the winter months.

Under KCP&L’s proposal, small business customers will see increases of approximately 10%, and larger commercial and industrial customers will see increases between 12.9% and 13.5%.

Why is KCP&L asking for a rate increase?

There are a number of drivers for KCP&L’s current rate increase request, which include: t Additional wind energy in Spearville, Kansas—Spearville 2 includes 48 MW of new wind turbines that will help ensure KCP&L is in compliance with the Kansas Renewable Energy Standards Act. This act requires a major utility like KCP&L to have renewable resources at a level equal to 10% of the utility’s peak demand. This requirement will increase to 15% in 2016 and 20% in 2020. t Environmental Upgrades for La Cygne Generating Station—KCP&L is making upgrades to its La Cygne generating station that were approved by the Commission in August 2011. KCP&L is making these investments now as part of an agreement with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to ensure La Cygne is able to continue operating beyond 2015, when major federal environmental regulations go into effect.

Playing for the Paola Aftershock 12-year-old and under league tournament champions are Bree Allen, Avery Aust, Taylor Bishop, MacKenzie Grandon, Katee Johnson, Josie Jones, Maddie Olsen, Breanna Raines, Brittany Salisbury, Madi Toman, Shaylan Vohs and MacKenzie Grandon. The team is coached by Keely Toman, Donnie Jones and Danny Salisbury.

Legion continued from B1 Sports Complex, the three players shared laughs, exchanged high-fives with their teammates and, for good measure, jumped on the back of coach Curtis Murdock following the second game.

“We really had a great time with them this season,” Murdock said. “They’ve been with me since I started my career at the high school. So, it was really tough and emotional to spend my last days coaching them. I enjoyed coaching these guys.”

For as much fun as Paola had during postgame, the two losses were hard to take, especially in the first game.

The game was tied at 6 in the bottom of the seventh inning when Paola attempted to catch an Osawatomie base runner in a rundown between first and second bases, but Osawatomie’s Drew Needham, who was on third base, sprinted down

Swim continued from B1 breaststroke, taking 14.89 seconds off his time. Kyle Flynn took 24.03 seconds off his time in the 11- and 12-year-old boys’ 50-yard backstroke.

Gage Stamper swam the 9- to 10-year-old boys’ 50yard backstroke 25.17 seconds faster than he ever had.

Meet results 8-under girls 25-yard freestyle: Kaylee Stouder, first; Katie Sinclair, fourth; Brooklyn Harmon, eighth; Gracie Waggerman, 12th; Ariana Gallagher, 14th; Ellie Bunnell, 15th; Meadow Stainbrook, 16th; Kiersten Pate, 18th; Kendahl Millman, 20th 25-yard butterfly: Sinclair, second; Emma Johnson, third; Gallagher, fourth; Addison Smith, fifth 25-yard breaststroke: Stouder, first; Harmon, second; Waggerman, third 25-yard backstroke: Bunnell, third; Smith, fourth; Johnson, fifth; Harmon, seventh; Gallagher, eighth;

the third-base line and slid into home plate before the throw got there to end the contest.

“Ideally, he ran it the right way,” Murdock said. “But, in a situation like that, let them run back, take the bag and reset and win the game on the offensive side instead of having a mishap on defense. It’s one of those tough things.”

In the second game, Paola had the lead-off batter reach base in each of the first two innings, but the squad was unable to capitalize.

Osawatomie, on the other hand, took advantage of some aggressive base running and four walks (11 total) issued by Paola pitching to take a 6-0 lead.

Paola again had its leadoff batter reach base to start the third when Brock Huber reached on a single, but this time, it finally cashed in on a scoring opportunity with James Young driving in two runs on a base hit. Young came around to score on a wild pitch a short time later

to cut Osawatomie’s lead in half.

With Paola inching closer, Osawatomie coach Doug Chisam then brought Jones into the game to relieve a struggling Matt Ferguson on the mound, and Jones proceeded to stop the rally, retiring the next two Paola batters he faced to end the inning.

Paola continued to struggle on the mound in the bottom of the third, issuing six walks, including five straight to start the frame, allowing Osawatomie to tack on four more runs to push its lead to 10-3.

Huber and Staats reached on back-to-back, two-out walks in the top of the fourth before coming around to score on a single by Kern.

“We didn’t throw the ball well the second game,” Murdock said. “We got ourselves in a couple of binds, and we had some chances to get ourselves back into it, but they did a great job and deserved to win. Seth Jones did a great job both games.”

The Paola Aftershock won the 12-year-old and under Paola Girls’ Softball Association league tournament.

It was a hard-fought road to the championship. The Paola Aftershock went 4-1 during the five-game pool play and bracket play over a four-day period.

The Aftershock won nine of its last 11 games, played over six days in two

tournaments.

Josie Jones hit a grandslam during the week, highlighting the run to the title in June.

Brittany Salisbury and Maddie Olsen also clubbed home runs in the league tournament.

Salisbury was the winning pitcher, striking out six.

Olsen caught a line drive over her head on a shot to third base and then tagged the bag for the double play to end the game.

The Paola Aftershock placed second in the 24team VIP Summer Sizzler tournament in Olathe.

The team played six games in a two-day period.

Playing for the Paola Aftershock are Bree Allen, Avery Aust, Taylor Bishop, MacKenzie Grandon, Katee Johnson, Josie Jones, Maddie Olsen, Breanna Raines, Brittany Salisbury, Madi Toman and Shaylan Vohs, MacKenzie Grandon.

The team is coached by Keely Toman, Donnie Jones and Danny Salisbury.

Paola will travel to Lansing on Thursday to begin play in the American Legion zone tournament. Lansing, Wellsville, Baldwin and Ottawa will comprise the re-

mainder of the field.

“I feel like we’ve got a really good chance to win that,” Murdock said. “We’ll do the best we can. The older boys will be there to support

them and keep the camaraderie around the team. We plan on winning that tournament and going to state at Pratt.”
