Candidates reflect on election results

By Brian McCauley brian.mccauley@miconews.com

Harrington, who died in 2009 at the age of 83, was recognized with the dedication of a granite bench.

Several of his family members were in attendance for the service.

Paola VFW Commander Pete Bell said

On the evening of Nov. 6, Miami County Commissioner Rob Roberts found himself in the same place he’s been during all his previous election nights — around the dinner table with his family.

“I’ve done it every election year,” Roberts said. “We have a nice family dinner and talk about anything but politics.”

It may have been a low-key evening, but once he learned that he had been re-elected by voters, Roberts’ excitement level grew as he focused on all the projects he’d like the county to tackle in the coming months. The first priority on that to-do list is building a new jail.

“I want to see the jail come to a conclusion,” said Roberts, but he added that he also would like the county to focus on roads and bridges, as well as hosting an economic summit to brainstorm with city representatives on how the county can develop business.

Roberts retained his District 2 position on the Miami County Commission with 1,247 votes. Democratic challenger Callie Benton came close with 1,095 votes, and

Adults weren’t the only ones who went to the polls to vote Nov. 6, as students across the country also got a chance to let their voices be heard, thanks to the Kids Voting USA project.

The program allows students from elementary school, middle school and high school the chance to vote on several of the same races their parents vote on. Two polling sites were set up in Paola, one at the Paola American Legion and another at the Paola Adult Education Center, according to a news release.

Sunflower Elementary teacher Jolene Pennington helped organize the event using curriculum from www.kidsvotingusa.org.

I don’t think I could ever thank you enough.

Respectfully, Hannah Pearce Dear Veteran, I want to thank you for your service in saving our country. I really understand it’s a lot of work, and it takes effort in being able to fight to get what rightly belongs to our country. Through the horrible and the light times, you took a stand and made sure that you left with the satisfaction in being able to participate in the action.

In some way, I feel the same. My cousin,Aubrey, is in the Air Force.

Dear Veteran, I would just like to take a few minutes to say that I am sincerely grateful for what you have done for this country. I would not have the same life that I have now if it wasn’t for you.

It seems like we’ve been seeing a lot of 7 day free trials, and the occasional 10 day free trial. However, hearing aids don’t work perfectly out of the gate. It’s a rehabilitative process that takes patience and fine tuning.

Hearing aids are expensive. You don’t want to invest only to have them not work with your lifestyle.

That’s why HEARING ASSOCIATES implemented a 30 day risk-free trial. If, at the end of 30 days, you aren’t completely satisfied, return the aids for a refund. It’s as simple as that. But, we’re going even a step further. We are so confident in our results-measureable rehabilitation program that, if we are not able to find a system that works for you and your lifestyle by the end of those 30 days, we will give you a $100 gift card to use as you please. That’s putting your money where your mouth is. When we say satisfaction guaranteed, we take it VERY seriously.

OUR PLEDGE:

Trails plan needs community help to become a reality

F

riday should be an exciting day for Paola community members as they will get their first look at the master plan of a trails system that will begin in Wallace Park but could eventually stretch across the entire city.

The need for more walking and bicycle trails has been discussed for years, but the planning actually began last year with the creation of the Paola trails system task force. Community members have worked together to create a master plan, which will be unveiled Friday during a Paola Chamber of Commerce coffee event set to begin at 10 a.m. at Building No. 4 of the Miami County Fairgrounds.

According to the group’s brochure, the first phase includes a 3.5-mile trail at Wallace Park with several shorter loops. The trail would be 8 feet wide and covered with limestone screenings. Trail heads would be at the parking lot near Rock Stadium, the southwest corner of the park near Bull Creek Bridge and the parking lot near the shelter house. A bike lane also is planned to be added to the existing one-way looped roadway that encircles the playground and the shelter house.

Construction on

the first part of that trail, a loop around the soccer fields in the southeast part of the park, is expected to begin before the end of the year. The only thing standing in the group’s way now is often the hardest obstacle to overcome when making an improvement to the community — money.

The entire first phase is estimated to cost about $45,000, with the first loop around the soccer fields being about $15,000 of the total.

The group plans to raise money through grants, fundraising events and tax-deductible contributions from local residents and businesses.

Times are definitely tough, but community members and businesses should strongly consider making a donation.

The master plan has been well thought out by a group of community members who truly have a passion for trails and outdoor recreation.

The creation of a trails system at Wallace Park could be the springboard of a campaign to create more trails throughout the city linking parks, schools and other attractions. The community would be a safer and more enjoyable place to live if this trails system becomes a reality.

n the last article we presented some fundamental physics and chemistry to introduce the subject of quandaries, which is what this series is all about. It is our human desire to have permanent well-founded theories of the function of matter that we can rely on to help us when things happen that we do not understand.

Unfortunately, this goal is not always possible.

A good example of the frustrations of this problem is the experience of Bertrand Russell, the English philosopher, who, with Alfred North Whitehead, his former teacher, attempted to write a book to show that mathematics could be used as a solid basis for philosophical conclusions that would be irrefutable.

Together they wrote a book called “Principia Mathematica” that did not reach their goal. Most of the book was quite good and still is thought of as one of the best books on mathematical theory that has been written. In the discussion of set theory, however, they found a contradiction that they could not

Dear Editor, In the events of what happened with our two little girls in our community, I express my deepest concern and sympathy. The discussion of lowering the speed limits and putting stop signs on Osage has begun. I sincerely respect those opinions, but what about the rest of the intersections in Paola?

There are very little road signs on the streets of Paola.

There are so many accidents that almost occur simply because we do not have any street signs. We do not need a large number of four-way

resolve.

In set theory, all known material objects are grouped according to similar characteristics, such as all trucks, all convertibles, all automobiles. These are all sets. The character of the set is not as important as the mathematical manipulations that are possible.

In set theory, any set should be able to include itself, but, unfortunately, they realized for the first time that any set that could not include any other sets could not include itself. They were not able to resolve this so they could not present a theory that gave a satisfactory basis for reasoning without contradiction.

Why was this so important? Both authors were atheists and were trying to find a solid basis for reason that did not include a super-

natural creator.

Further frustration awaits us when we discover that God can neither be proved nor disproved by scientific methods. This has the effect, at least at present, of establishing no scientific foundation for any fundamental source of information.

The problem exists for any source of information and includes science and religion.

For instance, in the Bible in Genesis, it says that God coursed over the “deep” and created light and later the universe. There is no explanation of the deep. What is it?

What is its origin? One can assume that God created it, but such an explanation is not offered.

Steven Hawking has suggested that our universe began with a fluctuation in infinite space. Where did space come from? He does not say. Neither source of information is able to complete a description with any reference toward the absolute that is not suspended without fundamental support.

We will continue this exploration next time.

stops, but yield signs at a minimum at every intersection would greatly benefit our community as a whole.

Granted, the streets that do not have street signs are less traveled and there would be more cost to put road signs all over town versus on Osage alone, but should we not consider the greater good for the entire town rather than one individual road?

Not only do we need to have more road signs, but we need consistency among road signs. There are intersections with road signs, and I am appreciative of this; however,

there needs to be consistency among which directions there are signs. At intersections with only two road signs, they either need to be all north and south intersections or all east and west intersections, not a variation at numerous intersections among one road.

I know that Paola is not the only community that has problems with road signs, but the safety of our community has been jeopardized for many years because of no road signs or no consistency among intersection directions.

ELECTION: Incumbent commissioners retain roles, Feuerborn loses House seat CONTINUED FROM A1 Independent challenger Jack Rowlett Jr. got 544 votes.

The votes won’t become official until the canvass of votes Thursday, when provisional ballots will be reviewed and added to the totals. Miami County Clerk Janet White said there are 364 provisional ballots in Miami County.

Benton said she is thankful for the support she received during her campaign, and she will continue to be an advocate for the community in the future.

“My heart is full with the messages of inspiration from my community and campaign volunteers,” Benton said in a written statement. “This community is my heart, and no matter how the election results came in, I truly believe this campaign made a difference in our community.”

Benton added that she could see herself working together with Rowlett in a future election.

Rowlett agreed that he could see himself working with or supporting Benton in the future.

“We have a lot of common goals,” Rowlett said.

Rowlett, who is a former

member of the Paola City Council, said a politician has to wear many hats, and campaigning is something he admits isn’t his strong suit. He acknowledged that Benton and Roberts put more resources into their campaign, and he said the votes were reflective of that.

Rowlett added that he thinks the voters had three good options in the race, and he thinks all three candidates ran professional campaigns.

“It was the kind of race that I think our political system should see more of,” Rowlett said.

Unless there is a change during the canvass of votes, Roberts will remain on the commission with incumbent District 3 Commissioner George Pretz, who defeated Democratic challenger Will Cutburth.

Pretz got 1,340 votes, while Cutburth received 1,031 votes.

Several local residents will see change, though, when it comes to their representation in the Kansas House of Representatives.

Democratic incumbent Bill Feuerborn and Republican challenger Kevin Jones finished with almost identical vote totals in the Miami

County portion of the Kansas House of Representative’s 5th District. With all nine Miami County precincts reporting, Feuerborn received 1,228 votes, and Jones received 1,227 votes.

Men, Women & Kids’

Pirate play is a hit with students

BY BRIAN MCCAULEY BRIAN.MCCAULEY@MICONEWS.COM

Hillbillies and pirates learned they’re not so different after all during the play “Yo Ho Ho and a Wad of Gum,” which was performed last week by the Paola Community Theatre Group.

Students from Holy Trinity Catholic School and Sunflower Elementary, as well as a few home-schooled students, got a chance to enjoy the show Thursday afternoon at the Paola Community Center. The cast performed the play again Friday night during a public performance.

The students Thursday

were on the edge of their seats during some moments and laughing during others as they watched the play, which is about the hillbilly Nobeard family planning a big celebration for their grandpa’s 95th birthday. The hillbillies had to overcome several obstacles, including a teenaged family member’s bad attitude, the missing famed pirate treasure, and the Rough and Tough Pirates, who bully them and try to spoil everything.

The play was written and directed by Kate Anderson, who is the director of the Paola Community Theatre Group.

Holiday How To

Decorate a Tree the Right Way

Holiday recipe ideas

Use your smart phone to enjoy the holiday season

Stay organized and save time this holiday season A few simple strategies can make the holiday season more peaceful and less hectic.

The holiday season can be hectic and expensive. Men and women often find themselves yearning for more hours in the day during the holidays, when people’s social schedules are busier and holiday shopping takes up what’s left of their free time.

Though it can be easy to find yourself overwhelmed and overspent during the holiday season, the following tips can ensure your holiday season is a lot less hectic and much more affordable and organized than in previous years.

• Ready the goodies ahead of time. Many families cook a host of goodies and treats come the holiday season to share with friends or simply enjoy as part of their various holiday traditions. Instead of waiting until the holidays to stock up on ingredients, buy nonperishable items in advance. Baked goods, such as cookies and brownies, often call for nonperishable ingredients, which can be purchased any time of year, saving shoppers the hassle of visiting crowded stores during the holidays while enabling them to spread out of the ancillary costs of the holiday season that often stretch the budget.

see ORGANIZE on A7

Smart phones can brighten your holidays Check prices

Wondering if you are getting the lowest price on items can be frustrating during the holiday season. Comparison shopping is time-consuming when consumers must walk or drive from store to store. However, apps designed for comparison shopping can make the process as simple as taking a photo.

Apps like Amazon’s Price Check, Barcode Hero and Barcode Scanner enable individuals to enter the name of the product or scan the barcode on the packaging. Shoppers are given comparison prices from various stores, some online and some brick-and-mortar. Depending on the app, you also may be able to read customer product reviews to determine if the buy is a smart one.

These apps can save you time and money, which is something many holiday shoppers desire.

Set an alarm clock

Sometimes holiday shopping can seem interminable, or you may get

engrossed in the task and spend too much time in the stores. Set the alarm clock on your phone to go off at a specific time, and it will serve as your reminder to wrap up your shopping or move on to another task.

Organize receipts

Those who want to keep receipts handy and digital can use apps like Receipt Keeper and Receipt Hog. These programs can store information to help you budget while ensuring you never lose a receipt.

With Receipt Hog you also can earn money for your receipts. The app is designed by a market research company that tracks purchases. For each receipt you upload, you can earn coins to be redeemed for cash, donations and goods.

Keep lists handy

handy. Snap a photo of the paper list before you leave the house and then refer to it while shopping.

Instead of making a hand-written list, use the notes function on your phone to keep your list handy at all times.

ORGANIZE: CONTINUED FROM A6 • Have a calendar designated speciďŹ cally for holiday activities. Holiday parties, children’s pageants and religious festivals are just a few of the events exclusive to the holiday season. It can be difďŹ cult to keep track of each and every holiday event, so create a calendar that is exclusively designated for holiday events. In addition, pencil in time to shop and even some time for a little rest and relaxation. • Shop early. One way to lighten your load during the holidays, and possibly even save some money, is to get a head start on your

holiday shopping. Begin shopping late in the fall and you might ďŹ nd sales that won’t still be around come the holiday season. Shopping early can also save time, as malls only get more crowded as the holidays draw closer and closer. • Use gift lists. Before heading out on a holiday shopping trip, make a list of items you hope to buy. This way you won’t forget certain items and force a return trip to the mall. Bringing a list along also saves you from wandering aimlessly around the mall looking for the perfect gift, a time-honored tradition for many holiday shoppers but one that also wastes a signiďŹ cant amount of time. • Use the Internet to your advantage.

Holiday shopping still takes a lot of time, but nowadays shoppers are not beholden to store hours. Thanks to the Internet, holiday shoppers can shop at their own convenience without having to trek to the nearby mall or shopping center. Shop from your desk at the ofďŹ ce while eating lunch or do some latenight shopping before going to bed at night.

Many times there are better deals to be had online than there are in brick-and-mortar stores, so you might just save some money as well.

watomie School Superintendent Gary French took their responsibilities very seriously as they tasted the cookies and discussed the merits of each one.

The grand-prize winner was Shirley Robinson of Paola with Pecan Tassies.

Her prize was $150 worth of baking items.

Shirley lives on a farm in rural Paola. She is the mother of four daughters and a son who is deceased. She has 10 grandchildren. She likes this recipe because it’s easier than making a whole pie. Everyone can help themselves. Her family members like to sneak a little whipped cream or cream cheese onto the cookies before eating them.

Carol Davis of rural Spring Hill got the first-place award for her Awesome Oatmeal Cookies. Her cookies earned her $50 of baking supplies. Carol has only lived in the area since 2011 when she and her husband moved here to be closer to their five grandchildren. She received the recipe from a friend and tweaked it some before see COOKIES on A8

5. Plug in the lights, and beginning at the bottom of the tree, begin to place the lights on the boughs. Having the lights lit will enable you to see the placement and realize if you are leaving too much of a gap between passes around the tree. Try to keep the strands of lights from overlapping or becoming tangled; otherwise it will make for a more difďŹ cult job when you take off the lights after Christmas. Also, when joining multiple strands of lights together, try to keep the plugged-in joining points toward the back of the tree so that they aren’t readily visible.

A beautifully decorated Christmas tree is often the cornerstone of holiday celebrations.

A magniďŹ cent tree is a wonder to behold.

Although homeowners may not have the room for a Rockefeller Center-sized tree, there are several tips that can turn the average Christmas tree into a spectacular sight.

There are no set rules as to when the Christmas tree should be erected in the home; each family follows its own traditions.

Some people prefer to decorate the day after Thanksgiving, while others wait until the ďŹ rst day of December. Still others wait until Christmas Eve to put up the tree so that children awaken Christmas morning and discover a true holiday wonderland. In keeping with ancient tradition, some put up the tree as close to Christmas as possible and leave it there until January 6, a Christian holiday known as the Epiphany and often referred to as “Little Christmas.â€? This fulďŹ lls the tradition of the “12 Days of Christmas.â€?

6. Take out the ornaments and assess your stock. Year after year individuals tend to add new ornaments to the mix. If your tree was overowing and cluttered with ornaments last year and you’ve bought new ones, you may want to toss away some of the older ones that have seen better days.

7. Hang heavier ornaments on lower and thicker branches that will be able to withstand the weight so the larger ornaments will not block the visibility of other ornaments due to sagging branches. Smaller proďŹ le ornaments can be hung up top.

When you are ready to decorate the tree, here are the steps to follow.

1. The ďŹ rst step in any tree decorating is to ďŹ nd your perfect tree. If you will be putting up a real tree, a visit to the tree farm or a lot selling Christmas trees will provide plenty of options. If you use an artiďŹ cial tree, now is the time to take it out of storage and assemble it.

8. Any strands of beads, popcorn or garland can be added once the ornaments are in place. Tinsel can also be placed on the tree at this point, though some people prefer to put it on ďŹ rst with the lights.

Remember to be safe with a Christmas tree as it can be quite heavy. Be sure it is secured in the stand and that children and pets do not play close to the tree. Some homeowners tie a piece of ďŹ shing line to one of the branches of the tree and anchor it to a wall with a hook or nail as an added measure of security. Each night before you go to bed turn off the lights on the tree to safeguard against ďŹ res.

2. Allow the tree to rest and “open upâ€? for at least a day, whether it is artiďŹ cial or real. You do not want branches that are stuck together or scrunched-looking.

3. Straighten out all of the tree limbs, one level at a time. To do so, be sure there is ample room around the tree for you to move around and work.

To achieve that professionally decorated look, you may want to decorate the tree monochromatically, such as red and gold or gold and silver, instead of having too many different colored lights and decorations.

4. If the tree is not prelit, take out your choice in lights (LED lights are cool to the touch and long-lasting) and check the strings for any burnt-out bulbs or if the lights are working at all. Replace fuses or bulbs as necessary.

Second-graders go exploring

By Brian McCauley

Heads Up gives funds for Special Olympics

Cottonwood Elementary secondgrader Harry Treml uses a magnifying glass to inspect an area of tree bark in search of insects during a scavenger hunt Friday.

brian.mccauley@miconews.com

With their compasses, magnifying glasses and explorer tote bags all within reach, second-graders ventured away from “Fort Cottonwood” on Friday and into the open wilderness — after looking both ways and crossing the street on the crosswalk.

Science teacher Susie Atkins has been teaching the students about reading maps and following directions, and they recently learned about the adventures of Lewis and Clark. Knowing that the Outdoor Wildlife Learning Site was located just across the street next to Lighthouse Presbyterian Church, Atkins decided that the students might best learn from a hands-on scavenger hunt.

Atkins led the journey, and she also read directional clues to help guide the students to their next stop. The students used their compass to figure out where to go, then they used their magnifying glass to search for items, such as a

flowering plant in a field or an acorn under an oak tree.

Using their explorer pad and paper, the students drew the items they found, and they took some items back to the classroom in a test tube to study later.

Near the wetland area, the students found everything from a large bird track to

crawdad homes. Atkins said they also have found animal tracks from deer, raccoons and coyotes.

“They want to look at everything with a magnifying glass, which is great because they are learning to look at things with more detail,” Atkins said.

Extension Board elected at annual dinner

Board votes to close Fontana school Residents speak during Nov. 7 public hearing

By Charity Keitel charity.keitel@npgco.com

Fontana Elementary School will be closed, the Prairie View USD 362 board of education decided on a 4-3 vote at its Monday meeting.

The closure vote came just five days after a tense public hearing Nov. 7 in Fontana, where school officials met with residents to listen to reasons against the school’s closure.

“The school is the heart of the community, and it should stay here,” resident Holly Breedlove had told school district representatives at the Fontana hearing.

Breedlove said she believed the school was worth saving and that it should be remodeled, not discarded.

It was a sentiment that many Fontana residents said they agreed with.

“It’s not just about the economy,” Michael Brough said, adding that he believed the school board was intent on closing the school despite public opinion and despite the possibility that the district wouldn’t really be saving any money.

Many residents said they realized the school board had a hard job to do and that it was probably doing what it believed was best, but residents also said they should

have a choice about whether the school was allowed to remain open since it was their tax dollars paying for it.

“It feels like you’re trying to railroad it through,” Luke Moylan said.

Jon Beachy, Fontana mayor, said he wanted to know where Fontana’s representation was during all of the previous discussions, adding that the same people who voted down the previous bond issue were still there and that they were still fighting for the school to remain open.

“To say the least, I’m a little disappointed,” Beachy said, regarding the possible closure.

Several residents said they wanted answers, demanding that the school board take another look at its estimated costs and savings and adding that the board hadn’t projected its costs far enough into the future.

“Do you guys realize how much you’re gonna take out of our town?” Dean Merrin said.

Brian Cornett said that if the board made a decision, then it needed to realize its decision would reflect back on it. He urged board members to make a decision based on the school and the school district.

Some residents said they had made the decision to move to Fontana and the surrounding area simply because of Fontana Elementary School.

Residents made suggestions and presented their

cases to the board, but those such as Tony Niesz and Beachy said they believed their choices were being taken away from them, adding that money was being taken from the voters without their input on how it was being spent.

According to state legislation passed in 2002, the school board is legally allowed to vote on the issue without turning it over to the public.

Chris Kleidosty, superintendent of USD 362, said he wanted to assure people he had no personal vendetta against the school and that he and the board were there to make appropriate decisions based on what they heard at the hearing and on projections and estimations gleaned during their research into the matter.

“The board of education’s main responsibility is to make decisions which are best for all students of the Prairie View school district,” Kleidosty said. “Their options after tonight range from doing nothing to taking action on a resolution to close the building as soon as the next school board meeting.”

And that next board meeting was Monday, where the resolution to close the building was approved.

“The proposed closing of Fontana is not just about Fontana,” Kleidosty had said Nov. 7.

“This proposal will also seek to provide relief to the teachers and students at Parker Elementary.”

John was born May 10, 1973, in Kansas City, Mo., to Bob and Dolores Plumberg Goode.

He left us with three beautiful young ladies, Audrie Louise, Madelyn Jean and Hanna Jo. While they were still infants, John introduced them to the love of his life – the great outdoors. He showed his girls an adventurous outdoor life that he lived in a minimalist way: a way that let him stay close to nature and caused him to adapt to all the challenges the laws of nature could present. He leaves us with many memories of his adventurous life on earth. He was a blessing to his family and friends.

education Middle-schoolers help with patriotic program Music, speeches and videos honor U.S. veterans

By Brian McCauley brian.mccauley@miconews.com

It was a packed house Friday afternoon inside the Paola Middle School auditorium for the school’s annual Veterans Day assembly.

Local veterans had reserved front-row seats for the program, which featured patriotic music, videos, speakers and more.

Eighth-grader Isa Loya got a chance to read her essay, which won first place in the Paola VFW’s Patriot’s Pen essay contest. Loya’s essay talked about what she would tell America’s founding fathers.

Navy veteran Ken Bond talked about his service during World War II, and he encouraged the students to take advantage of all the technology that is available today that his generation never had. “I think of what a future you have in front of you with the tools you have to work with,� Bond said. “Before you is a world waiting for you to come and mark your place in it.�

Seventh-grader Madi Toman got a big ovation from the crowd after she sang “God Bless the USA.�

During her song, the stage curtains were pulled back to reveal a large American flag.

High school play delayed because of illness Musical lovers will have to wait a little longer for the upcoming performance of “Rags� by Paola High School theater students.

Director Leslie Coats said the performance has been moved from Thursday, Friday and Saturday to Nov. 29, 30 and Dec. 1. The musical will begin at 7:30 p.m. at Paola High School each night.

Coats said Liberty McCormack, who plays the lead role of Rebecca, is sick, which is why the dates are being pushed back.

The play centers around Rebecca, a young Jewish woman who comes to America with her son seeking a new life shortly after the turn of the century.

class recently wrote books focused on the English curriculum being taught in Janice McWilliams’ secondgrade class. For the second straight year, the college students were invited to visit the second-grade classroom and read their stories to the elementary students.

This year, the secondgraders had written books of their own about themselves. The authors got a chance to read their stories to each other when they met Nov. 7 at Cottonwood Elementary.

Cindy Trout created a book about verbs and nouns that included small pieces with words on them that the second-graders could insert into the book in a similar style to a Mad Libs story.

Joe Van Vlack used a Gerald the Giraffe puppet to help tell his story about runon sentences.

Madison Mott used the alphabet to talk about verbs, Kaylah Prouty’s book focused on punctuation, Megan Stallbaumer used a Halloween theme for her verb book, Samantha Tschantz talked about adjectives, and Jacklyn Nolte created an I Spy book that taught how to answer questions beginning with “who,� “what,� “where,� “when� and “why� questions.

Gulley said the real focus of the project is creating a persuasive letter, which the college students will write to a school administrator providing evidence why their book would be a good resource for the classroom.

McWilliams said the project is great for her secondgraders because some of the topics are review and others help prepare them for what they will learn in the future.

Items needed to fill shoe boxes

By Brian McCauley brian.mccauley@miconews.com

Local residents can help children in need across the world this week by donating items to Operation Christmas Child.

Volunteers with the program fill shoe boxes with toys, school supplies and hygiene items for needy children overseas. The year-round Samaritan’s Purse project is in the middle of its National Collection Week, which began Monday and will last through Nov. 19.

The local area collection goal is 1,400 gift-filled shoe boxes, according to a news release.

Anyone can drop off a packed shoe box at the Paola-area collection site, which is Lighthouse Presbyterian Church, located at 1402 E. 303rd St. Hours of operation this week are: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, noon to 2 p.m. Sunday and 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Monday.

Additional local collection sites can be found using the online zip code locator at www.samaritanspurse.org.

For more information on how to participate in Operation Christmas Child, call the local area volunteer, Maria Heid, at (913) 294-2400, or visit www.samaritanspurse. org/occ.

osage street: Four-way stops planned at two different intersections continued from A1 discussion.

According to the study, the average daily traffic count on Osage Street is 766 vehicles. While the speed trackers were in place, 91.3 percent of drivers were driving at a speed of 30 mph or under, while 8.6 percent were traveling in excess of 30 mph and only seven vehicles were traveling faster than 40 mph.

One resident in attendance said the number of speeders likely would increase if the city tracked the speeds without projecting the number on the digital sign.

C i t y M a n a g e r Ja y Wieland said he’d also like to do more traffic studies on Osage Street at different times of the year, particularly in the spring when Wallace Park is busier and in the summer during the Miami County Fair.

Wieland mapped out several proposed recommendations based on the traffic study information. The recommendations include:

»» Lower the speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph with consideration also being given to lowering the speed limit in other residential districts. »» Install a four-way stop and marked pedestrian crosswalks at the intersection of Osage and Walnut streets in front of the entrance to Wallace Park. »» Install a four-way stop at the intersection of Osage and East streets, and consider also installing a crosswalk. »» Install pedestrian crossing signs at appropriate locations near the proposed crosswalks at Walnut and East streets. »» Continue traffic law enforcement on Osage Street and work with the Paola Police Department to develop a neighborhood watch program to assist with the identification of problems. »» Install sidewalks on at least one side of Osage Street in conjunction with the planned water/sewer line replacement project that is part of the city’s 2014 capital improvement plan.

Wieland said the sidewalks

Trails: Plans to be unveiled during Chamber of Commerce coffee Friday continued from A1 multi-use trails that will link key locations throughout the city, including schools, parks and recreational facilities, according to a news release.

The first phase of the plan consists of about 3.5 miles of trails in Wallace Park, and construction is scheduled to begin by the end of 2012.

Community members who

The taskforce plans to enlist help to construct trails linking all parts of the city with a variety of surfaces and distances designed for walkers, runners and bicyclists.

Portions will be ADA compliant, where feasible. The trails and bike lanes will provide residents and visitors safe, convenient transporta-

tion while offering health, economic, environmental and social benefits to the community, according to the release.

Trail fundraising efforts will commence in conjunction with the launch Friday.

Informational brochures will be available at City Hall, the Paola Free Library and the Chamber of Commerce office, or may be downloaded from the city’s website at www.cityofpaola.com.

In addition to providing a detailed description of Phase

I, the brochure outlines opportunities for community involvement and offers the option of purchasing personalized engraved pavers that will be placed at trail heads, according to the release.

Businesses, clubs and civic organizations may schedule a presentation about Paola Pathways for their group by contacting the task force community outreach coordinator, Peg Wieland, at (913) 294-6951, or send an email to paolapathways@gmail.com.

Calling on small-town spirit for birthday cards

O

ne of the things that I have always admired about small town life is the way people are there for each other. The way a community rallies around one of its own.

The generous and giving spirit inspires me and makes me proud to be a small-town Kansas boy.

This is big for me to admit, since I grew up a big-town, sort of, Missouri boy. I grew up in a suburb of St. Louis, Florissant, with roughly 200,000 people.

Now, on my street and a few blocks around, we knew everyone and always came together for each other.

To see an entire community do this, is an awesome sight to behold.

I think back to all of the benefits and fundraisers and tragedies that have hit close to home here, and every time, this great community, not just Paola, but Miami County, has been there.

Just this year I think about everyone who came together for the annual Cops for Tots Auction, which was started in honor of Sheriff Ken Davis, who wanted to make the county a better one for everyone and had a special place in his heart for children.

Getz, Edwards first-team all-league

Seniors Paige Getz and Elizabeth Edwards are firstteam All-Frontier League Volleyball selections.

Edwards and Getz led the Paola High School Lady Panther volleyball team to a 30-10 record, a league tournament title and undefeated league dual title.

Amber Harris, a senior, and junior Kelsey Slawson were honorable mention selections.

All-league honors are voted on by coaches in the Frontier League.

“Overall, I am happy to have four players honored, with two of them being on first-team,” Paola coach Michelle Abshire said. “The Frontier League is a tough one with a lot of talent, so I think it says good things about our program to have these girls get some recognition. They are all very deserving.”

Getz was a front row hitter for the Lady Panthers and

Hanson is a two-time allleague player, earning honors her junior season as well.

Getz, a senior hitter, was an honorable mention selection.

Hanson was a four-year letter winner for Spring Hill

and a three-year starter at setter.

“She has dedicated herself to volleyball in the off season, and it has really paid off,” Spring Hill coach Alicia Von Stein said. “She is our captain and quiet leader.

She is very hard working and always puts the team’s needs ahead of her own.”

Hanson led the Lady Broncos with 47 aces and served 98 percent.

She had 28 blocks, 52 kills, 264 digs and 768 assists.

“Melody has been a big part of our program for four years, and we will miss her next year,” Von Stein said.

Hanson plans on playing

Getz is a three-year letterwinner for Spring Hill.

“She was one of our go-to hitters this year,” Von Stein said. “She worked hard on her passing and defense so she could help us in the back row this year, and she did a great job.

“Gwen is a fierce competitor, and we will miss her next year,” Von Stein said.

“She would like to play volleyball at a junior college next year.”

Getz cousins, Edwards lead Kansas all-stars to victory Kansas volleyball rivals team up to beat Missouri

By Gene Morris gene.morris@miconews.com

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Paige Getz, Elizabeth Edwards and Gwen Getz brought the small classification volleyball title back to Kansas with a 2-1 victory against Missouri in the annual Greater Kansas City Volleyball Coaches Association Senior All-Star Volleyball Match.

Paige Getz and Edwards represented the Paola Lady Panthers on the Kansas senior all-star team. Getz is an outside hitter. Edwards is a libero.

Gwen Getz represented the Spring Hill Lady Broncos.

Getz is an outside hitter.

Missouri came in with some momentum Sunday evening, winning three of the last four matchups.

All-League continued from B1 could take over a match with her ability to kill and block the ball up front. “Paige has grown into a phenomenal player since her sophomore year,� Abshire said. “Paige’s kills and her jump serve were big weapons for us. It has been a pleasure to coach Paige and have her go through this program. She will definitely leave as one of the best players to go through the Frontier League.�

Kansas would not be denied, however, winning the best-of-three match 25-20, 25-20 and 20-25.

Paige Getz had two big kills in the opening set. Edwards made an incredible dig. Gwen Getz also came up with a key block and a kill.

Paige Getz broke an 11-11 tie in the second set with a kill at 12-11. Getz had another kill at 16-14 and then served the set to a commanding 2114 lead for Kansas.

Gwen Getz had a pair of kills in the second set. Edwards anchored the defense with hustle and some great digs.

Paige Getz served an ace at 11-15 in the second set. She also made a great dig to keep a long volley going, and Kansas took the point, 13-16.

Missouri held onto the momentum and won the third set, despite a late Kansas rally, 20-25. “It was fun to play against people you have been trying to beat for four years,� Edwards said.“We got along really well.

It was great to beat Missouri.

This was a nice way to end my volleyball career.�

Paige Getz was a go-to player for Kansas up front. “It was awesome, being able to play against the best players in the area,� she said.

Gwen Getz, another weapon for Kansas up front, had a big match in the victory. “Missouri had won it for a while, so it was exciting to win it this year,� she said.

Gwen Getz said it was awesome to be on the same court with so many great players, especially so many rivals from the Frontier League.

The Kansas all-star team also included Anna Bell and Katelyn Dixon of Louisburg and Osawatomie’s Tayler Soucie.

Bell is a middle hitter.

Dixon is the team’s setter.

Soucie is an outside hitter.

Paige Getz is the daughter of Scott and Diane Getz. She plans on playing volleyball in college and majoring in elementary education.

Elizabeth Edwards is the

Getz holds the Lady Panthers’ all-time record for kills.

Despite being injured for two weeks this season, Getz had 368 kills. She missed 13 matches with the injury. “I’m really proud of the teammate she was to the other girls while she was out,�

Abhsire said. “Paige was the person cheering the loudest on the bench, and she was always trying to help her teammates who were out there on the court.�

Edwards, the libero, was the defensive anchor for Paola.

“I really can’t say enough about this kid,� Abshire said. “You will not find a player who works harder than Liz.�

Edwards had a team-leading 395 digs this season. “When she played junior varsity as a freshman, I knew that this girl was going to be a special player for us, and she didn’t let us down,� Abshire said.“She is focused and dedicated, and she has been a great leader for our defensive players. The biggest compliment we had this season was the number of times the other teams’ fans would comment on our libero. Most of the time, it’s the big hitter who gets all the praise, but Liz got some much-deserved attention for our defense, and that’s nice to see.�

Harris, the setter, ran the offense like clockwork with more than 1,000 assists. “I am so glad to see Amber receive some honors this season,� Abshire said. “She has been on varsity for three years, but this was her first season of setting, and she did a great job. She came to me at the end of last season and said she was ready for the job. “She definitely answered the call, and I’m really proud

Powder Puff: continued from B1 a classic paper over rock decision.

Both sides were reminded there was no blocking or tackling in the flag football game. Violators would be penalized for offenses and eventually removed from the game. Officiating the game were two men used to being on the other side of the whistle — Paola Panther football coaches Todd Weaver and Ryan Oshel.

Taylor opened the game with a quick screen pass to Kaylee Farmer who ran 50 yards for a first down at the 20-yard line.

Regan Boyer saved the day for the junior class, ending the drive with an interception.

The seniors had a nice defensive stand and the juniors answered with one of their own, taking over at their own 20-yard line following a fourth down stand.

Remick Paulsen turned the corner on a run for the junior class and would have been gone without the quick hands of senior defender Lucy Staats, who caught one of the flags. Paulsen ran for 15 yards on the play, but came to the sideline showing the side official a rather large tear on the side of her T-shirt.

Members of the senior class hold up one finger for their championship picture after winning the annual Powder Puff football game against the junior class. The senior class won a defensive gem, 60, to retain the Powder Puff title. Students brought an awareness to those in need, raising money and canned goods for Harvesters. photos by gene morris / gene. morris@miconews.com

The juniors went back to the air on the drive, but Christine Bessey intercepted a pass for the senior class.

The seniors were unable to mount a drive, and the junior class got the ball back.

Both sides started to realize running the ball was a much better option, especially with state-medal winning sprinters from the Lady Panthers Class 4A state title team on both sides.

The senior class handed the ball off to Elizabeth Edwards who ran for a 20-yard gain and a first down at the 40-yard line. They followed that with a reverse for Farmer, who sprinted down the far sideline for a gain of 35 yards.

Edwards ran the ball on

a reverse for a gain of 14 yards, and the Paola seniors had a first down at the 14yard line with 51.7 seconds left in the first half.

The seniors threw to the end zone, looking for all-star volleyball player Paige Getz, but the pass was deflected on great man-to-man coverage by McMullin.

Edwards ran the ball on fourth down, but the senior class came up short. The first half ended in a 0-0 tie.

Playing defensive back, senior Amber “Island” Harris proved to be quite a weapon against the junior class passing attack.

She made a great deflection for a stop to open the second half.

Andrew Henn (center) leads Paola junior and senior boys in a halftime dance routine during the Powder Puff football game. Pictured are (from left) Josiah Hadle, Caymen Long, Trey Taylor and Luke Wilson.

Lauren Wood dropped back at quarterback and threw a tight spiral to Bird for a first down at the 40yard line.

Sarah Rourke picked off a pass on the next play, getting the ball back for the seniors with 13:41 left.

Staats threw a long pass to Paige “Megatron” Getz for a 35-yard touchdown, giving the seniors a 6-0 lead with 11:12 remaining.

McMullin went back in at quarterback for the juniors and completed big passes to Aly Johnson, Allie Ozier and Kelsey Slawson, but they could not put the big play together. McMullin, a pitcher for the softball team, showed off her arm. She absolutely launched a few passes, putting the ball in the air for more than 30 yards on several plays.

On fourth down and one, the juniors came up short, and the seniors took over on downs.

The juniors got a stop and had one more shot with McMullin at quarterback. She completed passes to Johnson and Kelsey Slawson to move the chains three times but Getz ended the game with an interception, sealing the victory for the seniors.

Calling the offensive plays for the senior class was Kyle Johnson.

The defensive coordinator of the shutout victory was Joe “Kilt” Pomatto, who sported an Irish bagpiperlooking outfit for the big game.

pouring of love many times in Miami County.

I saw it when the flood hit Osawatomie in 2007. I saw it when a community came together with food, money and clothing for those who had lost everything, but were thankful to be alive.

Today, I am calling on that spirit once again, as I encourage my fellow small-town Kansans and even those who have moved on to the big city, but carry that small-town

heart with them, to take a few minutes today to help me fill up Kiandon Kirk’s mailbox for his 5th birthday.

Kiandon, who is fighting cancer, turns 5 on Thursday, Nov. 15. He is a relative of Anya Keimig Cunningham.

Kiandon has acute myeloid leukemia which is also known as AML. It is a cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells, characterized by the rapid growth of

FARM A few tips on how to use your forage

T

his year’s drought has made it that much more important for livestock producers to make smart and efficient use of their limited forage through the upcoming winter months.There are several strategies we recommend when it comes to cutting back on forage use/expenses with no sacrifice to herd health.

FORAGE TESTING

By knowing the quality of your forages, you can determine the amount of forage that you need to be providing to your cows.This eliminates over-feeding and wasting resources or underfeeding and jeopardizing body condition going into the ever important calving season. Forage tests can be done through the Miami County Extension office for minimal costs.

BALE RINGS REDUCE WASTAGE

The method of how producers feed forage is equally as important as the quality and quantity of what they are feeding with regard to reducing feed wastage. Re-

Funds available for minority and women farmers STAFF REPORT MANHATTAN, Kan. — Adrian J. Polansky, state executive director of the USDA Kansas Farm Service Agency (FSA), recently announced that the FSA is reaching out to minority and women farmers who want to purchase or operate a family-size farm. “Each year, FSA targets a portion of its farm loan funding for socially disadvantaged applicants (SDA),� Polansky said in a news release. The targeted funds are available to socially-disadvantaged applicants who include minority farmers and women farmers, as well as beginning farmers.

For FSA farm loan purposes, FSA defines a SDA person as one of a group whose members have been subjected to racial, ethnic or gender prejudice because of their identity as members of a group with-

out regard to their individual qualities.

A beginning farmer or rancher is defined as someone who: Âť Has not operated a farm or ranch for more than 10 years Âť Does not own a farm or ranch greater than 30 percent of the median size farm Âť Meets the loan eligibility requirements of the program to which he/she is applying Âť Substantially participate in the operation; and Âť If applying for a farm ownership loan, must have participated in a farm for at least three years Polansky said that while funding is targeted for loans to socially-disadvantaged applicants and beginning farmers, loan approval is neither automatic nor guaranteed.

Polansky stated, “In Fiscal

Year 2011, Kansas obligated $8,316,818 for a total of 131 loans to qualified farmers under the Socially Disadvantaged Persons Loan Program.

We also obligated $45,685,152 for a total of 512 loans to qualified farmers under the Beginning Farmer Program.�

Applicants seeking credit through FSA must meet certain eligibility criteria, Polansky said. FSA applicants must be U.S citizens, have a

satisfactory history of meeting credit obligations, have sufficient education, training or experience managing or operating a farm, possess legal capacity to incur debt, and be unable to obtain credit elsewhere.

In addition to direct loans, FSA can provide loan guarantees to commercial lenders.

Applicants can use operating loans to pay business related expenses.
