Students get a bit of normalcy with proms By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
Last year’s senior class lost a lot. Casualties included the end of State basketball tournaments, the entire spring sports season, proms and related events, and for many students, graduations as they knew them. Members of the class of 2020 got three-fourths of their senior years as normal, and then lost everything. It’s been a different type of year for the class of 2021. This year’s seniors have had a full year. In some districts, that meant a lot of remote learning. In others, classes
were held in person but with many, many changes. Of course, there were masks and social distancing. Arrows on hallway floors dictated traffic flow. Sports had their own protocols, with limited crowds and – for a short time – no crowds at all. A number of activities were held remotely rather than in person, impacting musical and speech competitions and more. Some dances were held, but in most cases the backto-school, fall homecoming and winter homecoming dances wound up cancelled. However, juniors and seniors have or will be enjoying proms.

Citywide garage sales to kick off Saturday
From the Editor’s Files Learning how to travel again. B10
Staff report TSnews A sure sign of warmer weather is citywide garage sales. The first one locally will take place this Saturday in Conway Springs, sponsored by the Conway Springs Development Foundation (see related story). Next up on the calendar will be Goddard, running April 29-May 1. Cheney will have its sales May 20-22, Garden Plain’s will be June 3-5, and Clearwater’s sales will be June 5. Haysville’s will be Aug. 14-15. Many other communities will have sales in the summer months, mostly in May and June. Yard sales may not be a “get rich quick” scheme, but they present an environmentally friendly way to clean up a home. What’s more, they can be an ideal way to connect with neighbors and meet new people. Any money earned is an added bonus. Plan when to hold the sale by looking at the calendar and choosing an open weekend. Many people host their yard sales on Friday, Saturday or Sunday mornings, theorizing that this is when the most people
Odds and Ends Instagram beats college for Kansas youth Half of young Kansans would rather have a verified Instagram account than a college degree. According to a poll from PRFire.com, 50 percent of Kansans ages 18-24 would prefer the blue tick of a verified Instagram social media account. Results are from a survey of 2,600 young adults nationwide. Instagram verification recognizes official profiles for well-known influencers and brands. It is a valuable tool for those making money online, as Instagram has more than one billion monthly users. Sixty percent of survey respondents said they believe college degrees are worth less than they used to be. An Instagram influencer with one million followers can earn $10,000 per post. The average U.S. employee was earning around $48,600 before the start of the coronavirus pandemic. One in five of the respondents said they look up to social media influencers more than they do CEOs. Thirty-four percent said they would prefer to be successful on YouTube, which pays the most revenue to its creators.

Stephanie McKennon of Goddard showed her displeasure with Tuesday morning’s spring snowfall by drawing this face on the hood of her car. A small amount of snow fell in south-central Kansas, but above-freezing temperatures and sunny skies meant nearly all of the snow was gone by the end of the afternoon. The airport recorded 0.7 inches, and the same amount was reported one mile north of Goddard. Clearwater had just 0.1 inch. More than four inches fell in and around Salina. That likely was winter’s last blast. High temperatures could approach 70 degrees this weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

Beaulah Mae Eastman
Beaulah Mae (née Harp) Eastman joined her best friend and partner in heaven on Saturday, April 10, 2021, at peace in her Wichita home, her youngest daughter by her side. She was in her 93rd year. Beaulah was, foremost, a beloved wife of 73 years to Billy J. Eastman, whom she lost on Nov. 29, 2020. She was the loving mother of five: Karen (married to David) Everhart, William “Chip” (married to Sherri) Eastman, Tom (married to Teri) Eastman, Mark (married to Natalie) Eastman, and Jeanette (married to Patrick) Falley. Beaulah was passionate and proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, numbered 45 and climbing, living a life in devotion to their safety and future. She was the dear sister of Doris McClure, brotherin-law Mick (married to Marcita) Eastman, Carolyn Eastman and Marge Eastman. Beaulah’s life is one of deep love for the family’s land and heritage in Elk County, where she first met Bill J. and the site of treasured family moments with her children, grandbabies and friends. She had a biting wit and deep intellect. She was known for her financial acumen and ability to plan for every event life presented her. Since the 1950s, Beaulah, alongside Bill and her children, were members of the First Christian Church of Haysville, where she was an important presence at Sunday sermons, youth clubs, Bible studies, vacation Bible schools, Easter and Christmas Eve services. It was at the First Christian Church where Bill and Beaulah met their best friends and laid a foundation of faith for their children. She was born on Oct. 2, 1927, in the oil boomtown of Whittenburg, Texas, to the late Virgil Harp and Anna (née Clark) Harp Littrell. Her family returned to Grenola, Kan., after the death of her father in an industrial accident when she was 7. She is predeceased by her parents, brothers Harold and Cecil, sisters Ethel Meier, Edith Bonfiglio and Marie Kern, and her Bill J. She is fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and many good friends. Beaulah instilled in her grandchildren a deep affection for learning and service to others, touting to her friends the education and jobs in the ranks of her grandbabies – Shockers, Wildcats, Jayhawks and more. Her grandchildren are mothers, fathers, partners and police officers. They lead nonprofits and community organizations. They are teachers, financial advisors, ministers, marketers and consultants. Her grandchildren play football, they are engineers, administrators, community leaders and medical professionals. The love she gave to those closest to her ripples far beyond the quiet hills of her Elk County pasture. Funeral service was at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 17, at First Christian Church, Haysville. The service was live streamed through the First Christian Church, Haysville’s Facebook page. Committal services followed at 2 p.m. at Green Lawn Cemetery in Grenola, Elk County. In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established at the First Christian Church, Attn: Playground, 7465 South Meridian, Haysville, KS 67060. Beulah Land, I’m longing for you And some day on thee I’ll stand. There my home shall be eternal. Shinkle Mortuary, Haysville, was in charge of arrangements.

Turnpike resurfacing projects to begin
A two-year pavement surfacing project on I-35/ KTA from mile marker 26.8 to 50.8 was scheduled to begin this week, weather permitting. Interchanges located within the stretch will be included in the paving project. The 2021 construction season will feature resurfacing the turnpike from mile marker 26.8, just north of the Belle Plaine service area, north just over two miles to mile marker 29, and in the south Wichita area from mile marker 40 to 46. The second construction area begins just north of the Haysville exit. The 2022 construction season will pick up the remaining work, resurfacing mile markers 29 to 40 and 46 to 50.8. This resurfacing project is part of KTA’s preservation program. Routine resurfacing helps prevent
major reconstruction and disruption to travelers. Additional information about each project can be found in a monthly construction update by KTA’s director of engineering on KTA’s construction page. A full list of KTA’s 2021 projects can be found in their 2021 construction preview video. Drivers are urged to check for traffic impacts at www.KanDrive.org, subscribe to KTA Alerts for roadway incident information at http://bit.ly/ KHeX6g, follow the Kansas Turnpike on Twitter, and watch for information on KTA’s digital message signs. Construction updates on this and other projects are published monthly in KTA’s electronic newsletter.

CS council looking for a few good volunteers
Town Hall Friday to discuss 2021 Fall Fest By Paul Rhodes TSnews prhodes@tsnews.com
CONWAY SPRINGS – The Conway Springs City Council is looking for a few good volunteers. At their meeting last week, the council discussed the current vacancy on the governing body, and the need to find someone to fill that vacancy and unexpired term. Council members also discussed how the Fall Fest celebration will be handled this year, and the need for volunteers to help with that event. A Town Hall meeting is set for this Friday to discuss Fall Fest. The city’s newest council member Van Franklin announced back in February that he was going to have to tender his resignation from the governing body. Franklin had been on the council just a little over a year, after being elected to fill the vacancy that was created when T.J. Sones decided not to seek re-election to the council. Then, in July of last year, Sones returned to the council to fill the vacancy that was created with the resignation of council member Larry Phye. Phye was moving from the community and needed to resign from his position on the council. He had been a council member for several years. Franklin noted family and work commitments that factored into his resignation. Now, Mayor Jessica Gerlach is looking for someone who would be interested in serving on the Conway Springs City Council, filling Franklin’s unexpired term. For more information or to put your name in for consideration, call City Hall at 620-4562345 or email mayor@ conwayspringsks.com. Last week’s discussion concerning the community’s Fall Fest celebration centered around who, or what group, will be heading up the event this year. Fall Fest was not held last year due to the pandemic, but will hopefully return this year. Gerlach, who is on the board of the Conway Springs Development Foundation, said the foundation had been infor-
mally approached by the Fall Fest Committee about taking over the event, which normally would be held in late September. “The foundation doesn’t want to take it over this year,” said Gerlach. “We could help with a portion of the event, but not the whole thing.” Now, a Town Hall meeting has been scheduled for this Friday, April 23 at 7 p.m. at the Community Building to discuss Fall Fest. An event has been created on Facebook under the City Facebook Page to help make inviting easier. “I know many rumors are circulating about Fall Fest,” said Gerlach. “What we know for certain is that the Fall Fest committee leadership has notified me of their resignation after many years of valuable service to our community.” Gerlach said the time has come to convene as a community to establish a new Fall Fest Committee with new leadership to continue this long-standing tradition. “I am optimistic that we will be able to come up with an answer at the Town Hall Meeting,” said Gerlach. “The more people we can tell about this meeting, the better. Without community involvement in the Town Hall meeting, we won’t have Fall Fest, this year and possibly from now on.” In other business at last week’s meeting, the council: • Approved the city’s annual insurance coverage through Bennett Agency. The insurance contract was for $68,744. • Approved helping two residents with their water and sewer leaks, due to water line breaks. The city normally forgives the sewer portion of the bills in these cases. One resident was forgiven $55, and the other was forgiven $555. • Formally approved the city’s contract with Dondlinger Construction for the city’s major sewer project. • Discussed food trucks in the community, and agreed by consensus that there needs to be some kind of regular permit structure, possibly on a daily basis. Council members are planning to discuss their permit ideas at the next council meeting. • Noted that Mayor Gerlach was planning a lunch meeting for staff on April 20. • Discussed code en-
forcement in the community, especially on dilapidated structures. The police department recommended a 30-day warning letter, and council members also suggested having an additional free citywide cleanup day. • Approved three appointments to the EMS Department, Shawn Braynard, Katherine Godfrey and Clayton Hood. All are paid part-time positions, and finishes filling the department’s open positions. The council also set pay grade levels for the new EMS employees. • Approved hiring LK Architects and spending up to $4,000 for design work on expansion of the Fire Department building. • Discussed local rural fire contracts that are being covered by the Conway Springs Fire Department, and agreed that there should be a 5 percent increase in those contracts. • Approved a service agreement on equipment at the water plant. Cost is $3,000 per year. • Approved a bid of $1,023 from Triple B Construction to repair the concession stand roof in Central Park. • Noted that a water main problem ended up causing damage to a sewer line, as well. Cost will be contained to that specific area of damage. • Discussed the city’s new utility postcards, and reached consensus on a card layout and design. Approved a first order of the cards, and authorized staff to order additional cards when needed. • Approved a request to order supplies for the city swimming pool. The supplies totaled $5,549. The council also approved the mayor’s appointment of pool staff members and pay recommendations. Council members also noted that fees at the new pool cannot be raised for two years because of the grant that helped fund the pool, and approved the fees from last year, with the addition of city staff and volunteers receiving free admission. • Received an update from council member Daryle Smith on work he is doing with city staff on fund reports. Smith said the goal is to get better accounting of money in the city’s various funds, and how that information is being put into a report form. He said staff plans to have a report ready for the council once a month.
Clearwater OKs vaccination location
By Michelle Leidy-Franklin TSnews mfranklin@tsnews.com CLEARWATER – The Clearwater City Council approved an agreement with the Sedgwick County Health Department to set up a local vaccination location to provide COVID-19 vaccinations at the Clearwater Senior Center. “We will be responsible for coordinating traffic control, which we have already talked to the chief about, and opening and closing of the building. There is no financial cost for the senior center to be a local vaccination center,” said city administrator Ron Marsh. Marsh said the county had approached the city about setting up the location. The SCHD will be responsible for the staff, transportation of staff, scheduling, equipment, and cleanup. The City of Clearwater also will be assisting with advertising the new location. Vaccination dates at
the senior center were not available when the approval was voted on during the city council meeting on April 13, but city clerk Courtney Zollinger said dates would be available on the city website and Facebook page as soon as they are set. Anyone eligible to receive a vaccine through the Sedgwick County Health Department will be able to receive a vaccine at the Clearwater location. In other business the council: • Approved a final plat agreement with the Plains Cotton Cooperative Association with minor changes for the land purchased in the business park. • Approved Charter Ordinance 21, which will exempt Clearwater from KSA 15-731. Chris Griffin voted no. The ordinance will allow the city to approve general obligation bonds for street repairs without having to hold an election to approve them. Clearwater staff
is applying for an 80-20 grant to cover $2 million in street repairs, of which $400,000 would be the city’s responsibility if the city is awarded the grant. • Approved the extension of the incentive program for Park Glen Estates through Dec. 31, 2023. • Discussed details of the plans for construction of shelters for the city park. Council members requested more information on funding before making a decision on proceeding with the project • Discussed the possibility of a contractual agreement for a city engineer. The city is considering an agreement with Certified Engineering Design, P.A. No binding action was taken • Approved a memorandum of understanding with the Clearwater Cemetery after an executive session. No further details were available on the signed agreement as legal issues and negotiations are still pending.
Goddard street work approved By Nancy D. Borst TSnews
GODDARD – City streets throughout the community will get repairs in coming months as part of the city’s annual street maintenance project approved at Monday’s council meeting. Virtually every area of the city will see street work. Public works director Brook Brandenburg indicated the city will do crack and seam sealing with rubberized asphalt. Some streets, including those in the Pate addition and North Washington Street, also will receive micro sealing because the pavement is in good condition. There also will be repair of an 1,875-squarefoot section of street at the intersection of 5th and Cindy streets in the Pate addition. The winning bid for all projects came from Circle C, totaling $100,171.50. Brandenburg said the city has budgeted $200,000 for street maintenance in 2021. The city also will solicit bids to repair some utility cuts in streets in the coming
months. The city’s community center also will get a facelift thanks to an Eagle Scout project approved by the council at Monday’s meeting. Christian Zimmerman of Troop 776 has offered to paint the exterior of the community center this summer. He said he wanted to make the center more presentable and less of an eyesore. Zimmerman, who is the grandson of city council member Larry Zimmerman, said he will approach fundraising first, then gather materials and recruit volunteers. He hopes to start work in mid-summer and have about a dozen volunteers assisting with the project. City staff will work with him and the city will provide scaffolding, a power washer and possibly other equipment. The question of paint color was raised and staff will gather swatches to see what is available. The council also approved a request from Dove Estates to re-plat a portion of its 2nd addition planned unit
development. Originally the plan was to build 35 patio homes on one parcel. The new plan is to build 31 patio homes on 31 individual lots to be sold independent of one another. Most of these will be three bedroom, three bath slab homes (no basements). All the homes will be built on private streets. In other business, the council: •Approved a series of resolutions for the Clover Leaf Farms addition to re-apportion the costs of infrastructure improvements due to boundary line adjustments. • Approved a bid for paving improvements in Clover Leaf Farms Phase 2 addition from Kansas Paving in the amount of $298,303. Approved a bid for water line improvements in Clover Leaf Farms Phase 2 from Mies Construction in the amount of $139,336.75. The city will prepare a general obligation temporary note sale to be approved in May to finance these improvements. • Heard first quarter reports from city departments.

Downtown Cheney building changes hands By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
CHENEY – After 16 years on Cheney Main Street, The Wish List owner Diane Paneiko is closing her business and selling her building. The storefront will only be closed for a short time, as Kasi and Dominic Henning are planning to open a new gift store, The Rustic Hen, in early July. Kasi Henning has been operating her new massage business, Faithful Hands Massage, inside The Wish List since last
year. The Wish List would have celebrated its 16th anniversary this summer. Paneiko, who grew up in Cheney, felt Cheney need a variety store of the kind that were in town during her childhood. She recalled the days when Cheney Variety sold clothing and shoes and people could buy appliances and electronics at Gambles. Like many small towns, those types of businesses were replaced by offices with insurers, investment agents and other professional services. “There was nothing
retail,” she said. Paneiko has two other part-time jobs and also cares for her mother, who is 100 years old. She will maintain her quilting business, and has moved the equipment home. She said she enjoyed meeting many people over the past 16 years. “People think if you live in a small town you know everybody, especially if you’re from one of the original families,” Paneiko said. “I met new friends and reconnected with others.” She had not planned to make a change for a
couple of years, but things just sort of worked out and the Hennings made an offer. Paneiko said she is glad a retail business will remain in the building. After seeing so much stimulus money go to big box stores, she is optimistic for Main Street operations. “I think people are ready to support small businesses, local businesses,” she said. The timing is right for Kasi Henning, who is a Cheney native. “It’s always been a dream of mine to own a store in my hometown,” Henning
said. She was a nurse for 20 years, and just gave that up last August. She opened her massage business in the fall, and now is prepping to open her own store. “It’s a big career change in a short amount of time,” she said. Favorite products such as Holmes Made Salsa, Wyldewood Cellars elderberry concentrate, and Wind and Willow soup and dip mixes will remain. Henning plans to stock more home décor and home goods products, moving away from
clothing. “I’m hoping to bring my own tastes to the store,” she said. She hopes to feature local artisans and crafters, giving them on option beyond selling their wares on Facebook and Etsy. The store remodel won’t be drastic. The Hennings are updating colors and the layout, and putting in new flooring. Kasi Henning said she would like to show the original ceiling tiles if they can be salvaged. “They’re gorgeous but there was some damage to them in the past,” she said.
Garden Plain Elementary students wrap up Kids Heart Challenge
GARDEN PLAIN – Garden Plain Elementary students are Heart Heroes. Through their efforts and the support of their parents, relatives and friends, the school collected $10,388 for the American Heart Association. “This was an amazing accomplishment for such a small community. Our Heart Hero poster had over 100 names students listed and remembered as they participated in several fun activities on March 8 and 9,” said teacher Anne Weber. The top collector was first grader Crew Burroughs. Third grader Kennedy Jennings was recognized for being the most creative. She sketched people’s pets
for $10 donations and received a gift bag from the area representative. Several students received the Kids Heart Challenge green agent for completing Finn’s mission or collecting $150. A special drawing was held for two Kansas City Chiefs junior footballs and posters for those 15 students who collected $250 and/ or completed Finn’s mission. Football winners were first grader Sydney Koon and fourth grader Kolten Hansen. In the process of doing Kids Heart Challenge, the students also learned many heart facts and how important the heart is to the body and how to keep it healthy.

New charity offers utility assistance
Haysville Hope shares details with Chamber By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
HAYSVILLE – A new nonprofit group will soon be helping struggling Haysville area residents with their utility bills. Haysville HOPE has been created to offer one-time utility assistance for people residing in the Haysville Public Schools’ district boundaries. Linda Long shared details with Haysville Chamber of Commerce members during the Chamber meeting on April 15 at Shinkle Mortuary. Haysville HOPE is working in partnership with Haysville United Methodist Church, operating under the church’s 501(c)(3) status until the charity has its own status established.
Long works at USD 261, helping students and families with financial resources. She has frequently seen a need when a water or electric bill is overdue. Those families are frequently referred to the Center of Hope in Wichita, but timing and distance were issues. “They were coming into dead ends a lot of the time,” Long said. Hayville HOPE creates a local option. Families and individuals in need do not need to have children in school. The idea was brought up to the Haysville Ministerial Alliance years ago, but nothing came together at that time. “It’s a lot of work to set it up and keep it going,” Long said. A planning meeting last March was postponed as the coronavirus pandemic began closing things down, creating another delay. Long said she received a call in December from a local church that had money to give, but that the donation need-

ed to be made by Dec. 31. Things moved very quickly, with help from Haysville UMC. Since December, an account for Haysville HOPE has been established at Golden Plains Credit Union, and a 12-member board of directors has been formed. The goal is to have the charity able to start helping people as of June 1. Long said Haysville HOPE wants to grow partnerships and gather ideas on how to expand services. A long-term goal is to offer financial counseling. That will provide help to address some of the issues that frequently lead to people needing assistance with their bills. There is one other goal – establishing a regular stream of funding for Haysville Hope. “It only works if we have
money in the bank to help people,” Long said. Haysville HOPE also is looking for volunteers to serve on various sub-committees. Starting June 1, people may call 316-640-8916 to get help. Leave a detailed message with your name and phone number. An in-person interview is required before assitance can be provided. To make a donation, call 316-524-4162, or go to Golden Plains Credit Union to make a donation to the Haysville HOPE account. Donations by mail may be sent to Haysville HOPE, 601 E. Grand, Haysville, KS 67060. In other Chamber business: • The annual Gold Star Banquet will take place on June 19. Tickets are $40. The event helps sup-

Eagle Scout adds multimedia to wildlife area By Sam Jack TSnews
GODDARD – For his Eagle Scout service project, senior Iain Cline created a multimedia walking tour of the Outdoor Wildlife Learning Site (OWLS) at Goddard High School. He placed placards with unique QR codes throughout the area. “Basically a QR code is a square that has certain pixels on it that are in contrasting colors,” Cline explained. “Depending on what squares are black, it tells your QR code reader the information given on that QR code. The QR codes I used have hyperlinks that link to a website.” QR code readers are now built into most smartphones. Users simply need to open their camera app and point it at a QR code to go to the linked website. According to Cline’s research, the land for OWLS at Goddard High School was set aside in 1997 at the request of the GHS science department, then led by Barry Schartz. OWLS is designed to be an “outdoor classroom,” featuring native flora and fauna of Kansas. Ecology and biology students use the area as part of their curriculums, and it is also open to the public. Webpages linked to each placard show photos of OWLS in all four seasons. “It took me about a year to gather the photos,” Cline said. “They’re also able to be updated, so if a better photo opportunity comes out, someone can easily take a new photo and upload it.” Many of Cline’s webpages suggest native plants

You learn what it means to be a role model for younger scouts.” In addition to Boy Scouts, Cline participates
Ohol earns scholarship
CONWAY SPRINGS – Each year Kansas Farm Bureau’s (KFB) Foundation for Agriculture awards scholarships to college students studying in fields that benefit agriculture and rural Kansas. Thirty-nine recipients were awarded $23,500 in scholarships for the 2021-22 school year. Seth Ohl of Conway Springs was among five student receiving scholarships to Kansas technical colleges. Over the past decade, the foundation has awarded more than $300,000 in scholarships. “We’re investing in students today to ensure they become tomorrow’s leaders,” says KFB president and foundation chair Rich Felts.

and animals to look out for, such as prickly pear cacti, sunflowers, shrews and voles. “Before I got started on the project, I walked around with Ms. (Marylee) Ramsay to look at what information should be highlighted,” Cline said. “We got a little bit of everything: stuff about wildlife, bird life, the trees, the prairie, the aquatic life around the
area. There’s a lot of information that these signs can provide about Kansas wildlife in general.” Cline was surprised by the diversity of Kansas wildlife. “Most people probably think of boring plans, or just grass. But there’s actually a whole lot of different things that are part of the wildlife of the state, and I don’t think people know about that,” he said.

Preferring the term “Harvey Girl” to waitress, he recruited single women to work at his restaurants that gradually sprang up all the way to California and Texas. This presentation explores the job duties and working conditions of Harvey Girls from 1876 to the early 1950s. Chance-Reay teaches women’s studies and education at Kansas State University. Her current research focuses on the Harvey Girls and historic sites on the K-State campus, especially those related to women. “Women in the 19th and early 20th centuries who wanted jobs or careers outside of the home had few choices,” said ChanceReay. “But the Harvey Company offered unique
opportunities. It was demanding work but it provided a decent salary in a protected environment, in addition to travel and adventure.” “The Harvey Girls” is part of Humanities Kansas’s Movement of Ideas Speakers Bureau, featuring presentations and workshops designed to share stories that inspire, spark conversations that inform, and generate insights that strengthen civic engagement. Members of the community are invited to attend the free program. The program is made possible by Humanities Kansas.

Ribbon-cutting for financial planning firm By Paul Rhodes TSnews prhodes@tsnews.com
Members of the Goddard Chamber of Commerce gathered in Wichita recently for a Business After Hours event and a ribbon cutting for Leading Edge Financial Planning. Leading Edge is owned and operated by Michael Proctor, who founded the firm four years ago. Proctor, a Goddard native and Goddard resident, has deep roots in the community that run back a few generations. In August, during the pandemic, Proctor moved his Leading Edge firm to a new office space in the WaterWalk Place development at First and Main in downtown Wichita. With restrictions starting to relax, it was a good opportunity for Proctor to host an After Hours event with the Goddard Chamber, and also to do a ribbon cutting for his new office space, located at 332 E. First Street North, Suite 203. “There were things I wanted to do better for my clients, and that’s why I struck out on my own a few years ago,” said Proctor. He has been a

certified financial planner since March of 2013, and worked for a couple of different financial planning firms before launching Leading Edge. Proctor said his firm’s biggest goal is to help clients understand what they want out of life, and how Leading Edge can make that happen. “From there, we work closely with clients so we all understand how to know when we’re there,” said Proctor. The Goddard native
graduated from Goddard High School, and earned a degree in finance from Kansas State University in 2010. He returned to the Wichita area, and now lives in Goddard with his wife Whitney and their three children. She is a human resources manager for McCownGordon Construction. In addition to being active with the Goddard Chamber of Commerce, Proctor is a member of the Goddard City Council. He was appointed to fill
an unexpired seat on the council early last year. Proctor’s grandfather, George Proctor, also was involved with the Goddard City Council. He was a council member, and also served as mayor. Also providing planning services through Leading Edge are certified financial planner Dayton Schmalzried and financial advisor Lyndon Zielke.

City to buy two blocks of Santa Fe By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
CHENEY – A 120-day purchase agreement has been agreed to between the City of Cheney and the owners of two blocks of Santa Fe in the downtown area. The city has agreed to spend $100,000 to purchase two blocks of Santa Fe from Alan and Jeff Young. The area in question runs east of
Main Street to Garfield. The city already owns the stretch of Santa Fe that runs west from Main Street to Lake Road on the city’s west edge. City administrator Danielle Young said that the one-block stretch from Garfield to Washington is considered a service road and not a street, and is currently owned by Watco Companies, LLC, based in Pittsburg, Kan. Similar roads in other towns are still owned by rail companies, or
have since been sold. For years, Santa Fe in Cheney technically was considered private property owned by the railroad but was open to public traffic. Cities were not able to maintain these roads, and in many cases maintenance of the roads became minimal. Cheney has maintained Santa Fe west of Main Street, and will be able to do the same for the two blocks east of Main Street once the transaction is complete.

Benefit supper, garage sales are Saturday
CONWAY SPRINGS – The Conway Springs Development Foundation’s annual spaghetti supper will be this Saturday. This is the third annual supper. The foundation also is sponsoring citywide garage sales on Saturday. The sales will begin early in the morning and run all day. This year’s spaghetti supper will run 4-7 p.m., and is a to-go-only affair. The suggested donation is $8 per meal or $30 per family. The foundation building is at 121 S. 7th St. in Conway Springs. Money raised for both events will help fund foundation events all year, including the community garden, after-school activities, classes and other outreach. “The spaghetti supper is one of our primary fundraisers. That event is really important to our ability to host classes and keep the
building running,” said Michelle Leidy-Franklin, a member of the Conway Springs Development Foundation board of directors. Leidy-Franklin said the foundation took over the garage sales from the Conway Springs Chamber of Commerce in 2020 as a community service effort. Last year’s community wide garage sales were postponed from April to September, but this year the sale is back on its traditional day in late April. Also on Saturday, the Conway Springs BPW will be serving breakfast to go from 8 to 10 a.m. This is a drive-through event that will take place at the Conway Springs United Methodist Church, 411 S. 8th St. They will serve cinnamon rolls as well as biscuits and gravy. Diners are asked to enter the church parking lot from 8th Street and exit onto Kansas Avenue.
City to consider rules for food trucks
GARDEN PLAIN – Rules for food trucks, including where they can be located, were discussed during the April 7 meeting of the Garden Plain City Council. Janet Loehr, owner of The Other Place, provided the council with the rules from several surrounding communities and expressed concerns about how her business was impacted during a recent food truck event downtown. Loehr told the council that her business had to deal with a truck right outside her front door. Numerous people who did business with the food truck came in to her establishment to use the restroom, she said. “It’s hard to run a business in this town. And it’s harder if there’s a food truck less than 50 feet
from your front door,” she said. “It was uncomfortable for my business that day on many, many levels.” Loehr said she was not opposed to food trucks, and understands the draw for residents wanting more variety. “I think it’s a great thing to help the community to grow,” she said. The Other Place has worked with The Underdog, a food truck based in Garden Plain, early on during the pandemic. Council members agreed that the food truck should not have been set up right in front of one of the city’s established food and drink establishments. Garden Plain does not have any fees that food trucks must pay, although many other cities require a fee. City leaders plan to discuss possible fees and rules at the May 5 meeting.

Earth Day on April 22 Ways to celebrate Earth Day
People may wonder what they can do at a local level to make Earth Day a larger part of their lives. Here are just a few great ways to embrace Earth Day.
Earth Day is a celebration of the planet that people, plants and animals call home. First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day was established to demonstrate support for environmental protection, and events are held each year on April 22. It is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network and celebrated in more than 193 countries. People may wonder what they can do at a local level to make Earth Day a larger part of their lives. Here are just a few great ways to embrace Earth Day. • Make it a point to bike or walk to school or work. If conditions are prohibitive, carpool to cut down on traffic. The fewer cars on the road, the less emissions in the air. • Recycle e-waste in your home. Ewaste is considered outdated electronic appliances that are no longer used. The Environmental Protection Agency suggests e-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world. • Invest in a reusable coffee cup or water bottle. This can reduce the amount of trash that ultimately ends up in the environment. • Connect with nature by turning off electronics for the day and getting outside. Head to a park or nature trail and immerse yourself in the great outdoors.
• Do something as simple as switching paper statements and bills to ebills and online invoices. This reduces reliance on trees for new sources of paper. • Grow some edibles in your home garden or even on a windowsill. This is a fun, eco-friendly way to control the foods you consume at home and a great way to save money as well. • Reusing and recycling does not just pertain to water bottles and aluminum cans. Find out ways to repurpose or share items with others so they get more mileage. Also, make use of sharing services like bike sharing kiosks or Yerdle, an online community sharing marketplace. • Volunteer your time at an organization that has an environmental focus. Or suggest a task with an ecofriendly slant, like picking up trash from a beach, to a local community group or club. Earth Day is a great opportunity to get involved with environmental efforts
Fun Earth Day Facts 180 countries around the world celebrate Earth Day on April 22. This day is for humans to take a minute to be thankful for and learn more about our planet and its natural resources. Here are some facts you may or may not know: • US Senator Gaylord Nelson founded Earth Day after witnessing a massive oil spill that leaked millions of gallons of oil off the coast of Santa Barbara in 1969. • The date was chosen to appeal to college students so as to encourage them to participate. Aprill 22 fell between spring break and finals. • Earth Day started in the United States, but the movement grew to be a global thing by 1990. • About 20 million people particiapted in the first Earth Day, which was about 10% of the United States’ population. • The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created in response to the Earth Day Movement through approval by President richard Nixon.

Cheney Chamber donates to band fundraiser
Golf tournament fundraiser set for May By Paul Rhodes TSnews prhodes@tsnews.com CHENEY – It’s been a rough year for band students in the Cheney School District, and instructor Travis Johnson is hoping some band activities can finally get started ramping up. And, the district’s band
program already has a goal in mind: funding for a trailer that could be used to haul equipment to activities, and possibly be utilized by other school groups. Johnson was on hand for last week’s Cheney Chamber of Commerce meeting, and noted an upcoming fundraising golf tournament that will be held May 22. The golf tourney will be held at Cheney’s Cherry Oaks Golf Course, with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start. Cost is $75 per person
or $300 per team. A meal is provided. Sponsorships also are available. For more information, contact Johnson at tjohnson@ usd268.org. Chamber members helped out the cause last week by approving a donation of $250 to the band program. More information on the tournament also can be found in an advertisement in this week’s paper.

Local News Mattress fundraiser to boost Goddard bands
Name: Brock Toothaker
High School: Clearwater Indians
College: Butler Grizzlies
Sport: Baseball
Why Butler: “The last few years they’ve had a bunch of success. They’re a scrappy bunch of guys. I felt like I fit that mold,” Toothaker said. He felt he was underrated during recruiting and that Butler reached out to him first. “They wanted me. I felt appreciated.” Major: Marketing. Favorite memory: “The first week of practice this year. The energy of being around the yard, it was so electric. Everybody was so happy just to be playing games again.” A little bit more: Toothaker’s goal is to play NCAA Division I baseball after two years at Butler Community College. He has played baseball for 16 years, he said, and been on travel teams since age 9 or 10, playing in many states. The travel tournaments play a big role in recruiting. “You go play football on Friday night, and then you have a fall ball game 80 miles away on Saturday. It’s a grind, but I love it.” His parents are Crystal and John Toothaker.

Educators at Haysville Middle School took part in National Scrabble Day last week. National Scrabble Day is held each April 13, celebrating the birthdate of game inventor Alfred Mosher Butts, an architect who created the game in 1938. Originally called Criss-Crosswords, Scrabble is a variation of another word game Butts created, called Lexiko. Criss-Crosswords was renamed Scrabble in 1948 by new owner James Brunot. Ownership of the game changed a few more times. Hasbro purchased the trademark in 1986.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER, KANSAS: Section 1. Exemption. The City, by virtue of the powers vested in it by the Act, hereby elects to exempt itself from and make inapplicable to it the provisions of K.S.A. 15-731, and shall be governed by the substitute and additional provisions contained herein. Section 2. Bonds for Street and Highway Improvements, Bridges and Culverts. The City may issue general obligation bonds payable by the City at large (the “Bonds”) to surface, resurface, pave, repave, curb, recurb, gutter, regutter, or otherwise improve any street or streets, avenue or avenues, or public highway or highways, together with necessary bringing to grade and grading, and with such culverts, drainage facilities and other incidentals as may be necessary, and to build bridges and approaches thereto, any or all of these, when authorized so to do by adopting a resolution describing the street or streets, avenue or avenues, or public highway or highways or parts thereof to be improved, or the location of the bridge to be constructed, and describing in general terms the improvement or improvements to be made and the amount of Bonds to be issued. For bonded debt purposes such Bonds shall be considered the same as bonds issued to pay the cost of improvements of intersections of streets. The Bonds shall be issued, sold, delivered and retired in accordance with the provisions of the general bond law except as herein otherwise expressly provided. The provisions of this Charter Ordinance are supplemental to other statutes relating to similar street improvements and shall not prevent the City from using other available statutes. Such resolution may contain a provision that the issuance of the Bonds be subject to: (a) a provision that the resolution be published one time in the official City newspaper, and if within 30 days after the date of publication of the resolution, a petition in opposition to the issuance of the Bonds, signed by not less than 10% of the qualified electors of the City, is filed with the City Clerk, the City shall not have the authority to issue the Bonds until such question is submitted to the electors of the City at a special election called for that purpose or at the next general election and approved by a majority of the electors of the City voting at such election; or (b) approval by a majority of the electors of the City voting on such question at a special election called for that purpose or at the next general election.

Prom From Page A1 B-29 Doc Hangar, Education and Visitors Center at Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport on consecutive Saturdays. USD 265 director of community relations said the location will offer lots of space and that the hangar doors can be opened to allow for a breeze through the building. Dances were shortened, and DJs played fewer slow-dance songs, instead focusing on music that promoted group dancing and line dancing. The schools that served meals spread people out to allow more spacing. In other cases, food was limited to prepackaged items. After proms were shortened or cancelled. Adjustments were made for the entrance ceremonies, giving students and spectators more space as well. In the case of Cheney, the dance was limited to just CHS students; outside guests were not permitted this year. “We wanted the kids to have some fun while still having risk mitigation,” said Conway Springs High School principal Brent Harrell. “We used the common sense we’ve been using all year.”
Sales From Page A1 will be free to browse their wares. Begin early in the morning so that shoppers will not need to disrupt their schedules much to visit neighborhood sales. A 7 a.m. start time will attract the early birds and free up most of the day. To reach the maximum number of shoppers, advertise your sale in various ways. Signage around the neighborhood announcing the sale is one method. Signs should be bold, simple and easily readable for passing motorists. Place ads in local newspapers, online and on grocery store bulletin boards, and use social media to spread the word of the sale even further. Be sure to give ample notice of the sale so that shoppers

way to entice passers-by. A neat and inviting appearance also may convey that you’ve taken care of your home and your belongings. Play some music and offer light refreshments to create a convivial atmosphere. It’s tempting to overprice items, but a good rule of thumb is to mark things for one-half to one-third of the original value. Be open to negotiation, but try to haggle with a buyone-get-one approach, rather than marking down the price considerably. After all, the goal is to get rid of as many items as possible, with financial gain a distant second.

‘Tassie’ together some mini pies this week Spice Up Your Life Lindsey Young
I have said before that I actually really enjoy making pie. I think now that I feel confident with pie crust, the idea of creating a shell and a filling that (at least in theory) comes out in whole, beautiful slices is one of my favorite things. Joey has been a wonderful and willing participant
in my pie experiments over the years, with pecan being his absolute favorite, so when I announced I was making pecan tassies, he was on board to be my taste tester. If you’re not familiar, a “tassie” is a mini pie. An old article by Betty Rosbottom in the Los Angeles Times points out that the word really just means “cup,” but in the U.S., at least, we tend to use the term for the dessert. The recipe I used comes from the blog “Baking a Moment.” You can find the original at https://bakingamoment. com/brown-sugar-pecan-tassies/. I doubled the vanilla in my version. Also, feel free to skip the whiskey in these. You can’t taste it in the final version outside of it amplifying other flavors, but if you’re not feeling it, it won’t hurt anything to leave it out.
Brown Sugar Pecan Tassies Pastry Ingredients 4 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup butter, softened 1 cup flour 1/4 cup salt
Directions
Filling Ingredients 1 egg 1 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon butter, melted 2 teaspoons whiskey 2 teaspoons vanilla 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup chopped pecans, plus more for tops
Press the pastry into the bottoms and up the sides of each well.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. For the pastry, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, and then beat in the flour and salt. If you’re using a mini-cupcake pan, divide the pastry into 24 equal balls; if using a regular cupcake pan, divide it into 12. For the filling, beat the egg, brown sugar, melted butter, whiskey, vanilla and salt until it’s smooth. Fold in the pecans and evenly distribute the filling into the prepared pan. Top each well with some more pecans, and bake 25 minutes for the mini-cupcake pan or 30 minutes for the regular cupcake pan. Let the tassies cool, and then remove them from the pan. Store them in an airtight container.
Norwich car show draws from many communities By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
NORWICH – The weather should be good for this Saturday’s Main Street Drags and Car Show. The annual event is hosted by the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce, representing Norwich, Milton and Suppesville. Entry is free. The drag races are limited to the first 75 entries, but there is no limit to car show entries. Pre-registration is strongly recommended; visit www.tricitieschamber.org for more information. There are custom-built trophies for the best of show, people’s choice winner and the top 10. There will be $3,000 in prize money for the drag races, and will pay the top four in street class and slick class. There will be custom trophies. In addition, there will be bicycle drag races for kids from preschool through sixth grade, with three different divisions. Pre-registration can be done at Ye Olde General Store, or go to the website for more information. Gene Rich helped create the event. The first car show was done nine years ago, and this will be the seventh year for the drag races. The COVID-19 pandemic cancelled things last year. “A buddy and me went
out and burned rubber that day on Main Street so we could say we had a sixth year,” Rich said. The drag races already have entrants from Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri, and even one from New Mexico. Most are from the Wichita area and from Oklahoma. The car show tends to draw more locally, from about a 50-75 mile radius. In the past, there have been entries from Cheney, Clearwater, Conway Springs and Kingman, with most coming from Wichita and the surrounding communities. Most car show entrants register the day of the event, and participation varies depending on the weather, Rich said. It has been a success from the start. “The (Norwich) City Council was kind of impressed and wanted to know how big it will grow,” Rich said. He cited the Sturgis motorcycle rally in South Dakota as an extreme example of what is possible. Over many years, a small town event has turned into a party that draws hundreds of thousands. The expectations for Norwich are not that high, but it has grown every year it has been held. “In the past, we packed everybody into town that we could get into town,” Rich said. The car show begins at 8 a.m. Saturday, and the drag races begin at 1 p.m.
Pecan tassies are a bit quicker to accomplish than a full pecan pie, and they’re a great crowd pleaser for a dessert table.
These were awesome. I opted for the mini-cupcake pan version, and it produced cute little pies that were easy to just pop into your mouth. Especially if you wanted to create a dessert buffet table or had a gathering where people will be snacking, this is the recipe for you. If you’re not with me on enjoying pie baking, this is a good one to try in order to dip your toe in the pool or to just avoid
trying to roll out pie dough altogether. Plus, if you need him, I know a guy who makes an excellent taste tester. Spice Up Your Life is sponsored by Main Street Co. & Kitchen Corner in Newton.

Four teams measure up at Shocker Pre-State By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
Athletes from the Campus Colts, Cheney Cardinals, Clearwater Indians and Garden Plain Owls took part in last week’s Shocker Pre-State high school track and field meet, held Thursday and Friday at Wichita State University in conjunction with the K.T. Woodman Collegiate meet. The meet gives top Kansas athletes a chance to compete against some of the very best statewide in something of a preview for next month’s State meet. Each event has an elite division, for the best of the best across all classes. Athletes also compete in either the 4-6A division or the 1-3A division. The Colts’ BreAna Tillemans took part in two elite events, coming in second in the 400 meters and sixth in the 800. She was second in the 4-6A 100. Garret Denning and Andrew Howard were first and second in the 4-6A 300-meter hurdles. Cheney’s Chloe Grusing placed in two elite events.

After making some adjustments, the Tigers scored six more goals in the second half. Tigers coach Brandon Sommer said he is happy with where his team is but still wants to push them further in anticipation of contending for State laurels. “We’re really focused on possession and not giving other teams chances,” he said. “When they do have
chances, we try to make those chances as rushed as possible. Just do a good job pressuring the ball.” Sommer also credited goalkeeper Kellie Hosford for keeping the no-goalsallowed streak alive, especially during the 0-0 tie game at Maize South on April 6. Eisenhower hosted Valley Center on Tuesday and will be at Salina Central this Thursday. On April 27, the Tigers host Andover Central, and on April 29 they host Andover.
GHS beats Augusta, Newton In addition to tying Campus, the Goddard Lions beat Augusta 2-1 on
April 12, and Newton 2-1 on April 15, for a no-loss week last week. At Augusta, all three goals were scored on setpieces: Goddard scored on a penalty kick and a free kick, and Augusta’s goal was also off of a penalty kick. Kinsey Logan scored both Lions’ goals. At Newton, Marissa Martinez scored early in the first half to put the Lions ahead. Ashlynn Wcislo scored to put GHS up 2-0 before halftime. Newton regained some momentum in the second half, and Hansen said his team did well to prevent the game from going to overtime. “It was a long week for us, but we did well. It was kind of like another tournament week, but this time we didn’t come away with any losses, and that
cause. Derby started hot in the second game and never let up, scoring seven runs in the bottom of the first and scoring in every inning to win by the 10-run rule. On the mound, sophomore Mitchell Johnson tossed a five-inning no-hitter, striking out nine along the way. Game One Campus 001 002 0 – 3 6 2 Derby 102 020 x – 5 9 1 Game Two Campus 000 00 Derby 741 1x

The Cheney Cardinals and Clearwater Indians were the top two teams at the Kingman Invitational, played on Tuesday, April 13. The Cardinals grabbed four of the top 10 spots and beat the field by 39 strokes, shooting 346. Harrison Middleton shined, shooting 75 to win the individual title by 10 strokes. Keegan O’Shea was third, Ethan Cokely placed fifth, and Owen Ast finished seventh. Despite the strong relative showing, Cheney head coach Tim Hiebert said the Cardinals will need to do better to get our of their 3-21A regional, which will be played in Kingman. “Harrison played well but felt he left a few strokes out there. I think the rest of the team would agree that they did as well. We need to get better,” Hiebert said. The Indians had a pair of top-10 golfers. Christian Hastings shot 90 and took fourth, while Caden Carlson was 10th with a 95 over 18 holes. Austin Baumann finished just outside the top 10, shooting 96 to finish in a three-way tie for 11th. Clearwater shot 385, the same as Mulvane, and placed second. The Indians edged the Wildcats on the tiebreaker, courtesy of Dalen Ankerholz. “It was a total team effort,” said Clearwater head coach Dale Lukert. Ankerholz’ score gave the Indians a 6-stroke edge. Cheney: Harrison Middleton, 1st, 75; Keegan O’Shea, 3rd, 87; Ethan Cokely, 5th, 91; Owen Ast, 7th, 93; Aiden Lynch, 15th, 99; Jenson Hoeme, tie 36th, 122. Clearwater: Christian Hastings, 4th, 90;

Lions, Tigers ready for upcoming meets The Goddard Lions were without a planned track meet last Friday, as the Augusta Invitational was cancelled due to inclement weather. That left the Lions idle for the week. Meanwhile, the Eisenhower Tigers did not have a meet scheduled for last week. Team limits at some meets left the Tigers short a couple of events before the season started. Both teams are slated to be in action this week. The Lions were part of Andover’s meet on Tuesday; results were not available at press time. Goddard will go to Wichita East next Tuesday. The Tigers will take part in the Wichita Heights meet, starting at 4 p.m. Friday.

Former Kansas Gov. Jeff Colyer would like to return to Cedar Crest. On Monday, Colyer formally declared his intent to return as Kansas governor and occupy the governor’s mansion in Topeka. Colyer served out the final year of Sam Brownback’s second term after Brownback was named as the United States Ambassador at Large for International Freedom. Colyer’s announcement was widely expected. Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt announced his intention to run for governor in early March. His announcement also was expected. Schmidt won re-election as AG in 2018, winning by 18 points. Colyer lost to former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach in the 2018 Republican gubernatorial primary. Kobach then lost to Democrat Laura Kelly in the general election. Kelly won on a platform of funding Kansas schools and repairing the state’s financial damage following the tax cuts of the Brownback-Colyer administration. By the time Brownback resigned, he was among the least popular governors in the country despite leading a Republican-leaning state.
Raiders medal at South Barber
However, GOP candidates see an opening in the way Kelly has handled the coronavirus pandemic over the past year, and many of Kelly’s efforts have been undone by the GOP-controlled Legislature.

Drug take-back Saturday
Law enforcement officers at locations across the state will be collecting unused medications for safe disposal this Saturday, April 24. Medications will be accepted at drop-off sites across the state from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Locally, the Cheney Police Department site will collect medications at the Cheney Fire Department, 525 N. Main., and at the Haysville Police Department, 200 W. Grand Ave. Other nearby sites include the Sedgwick County Houshold Hazardous Waste site, 801 W. Stillwell St.; the Oaklawn Activity Center, 4900 S. Clifton, Wichita; and the Belle Plaine Police Department, 419 N. Logan St. To find other locations, visit www.ag.ks.gov and look for the “Drug Take Back Day” button under the “Quick Links” heading. The collection events are part of a nationwide effort to safely dispose of leftover medications to prevent accidental or intentional misuse. Since the Drug Take-Back Day program began in 2010, more than 101 tons of unwanted medications have been collected and destroyed in
Kansas alone. “Unused medications are dangerous for kids, pets and the environment,” said Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt. “Diversion of opioid painkillers, in particular, can contribute to the misuse of these drugs that has become a serious nationwide problem. Getting leftover medicines out of the medicine cabinets and safely destroyed keeps them from falling into the wrong hands and makes our communities safer.” The National Drug Take-Back Day is coordinated by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, which collects and safely destroys the medications. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Nationwide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates opioid overdoses kill nearly 130 Americans every day. According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, pharmaceutical opioids are a leading cause of drug poisoning deaths in Kansas.

From the Argosy Files From April 1957 Dedication of the new Argonia grade school during American Education Week prompted a special edition of the Argonia Argosy. The open house event took place Sunday, Nov. 10 from 2-5:30 p.m. Dr. John E. King, president of Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia, gave the dedication address; J.E. Middleton, superintendent of Argonia schools was master of ceremonies. Music was presented by members of the school music department. Ralph W. Hollis, Wichita, architect for the building, made the presentation of the building. Supt. J.E. Middleton, on behalf of the board of education accepted the building. The address of welcome was given by B.L. Morris, grade school principal. Paul Shire county superintendent of schools and two Argonia ministers, the Rev. Ray Jellison and the Rev. Wayne Conant had parts in the program. Eighth grade student council members acted as ushers. Members of the grade school board of education were Wayne Johnson, Orville Hodson, Leonard Scott, Melvin Jones. The grade school faculty consisted of Byron Morris, Mrs. W.E. Jesseph, Mrs. William Hannusch, Mrs. Doris Grim, Mrs. Harold Walker, Marjorie Bishop, Mrs. Jack Owens, Mrs. Walter Olivier, Mrs. Max
Davis. High school faculty were: J.E. Middleton, Mrs. Grace Handy, Mrs. Dale Pearce, Mrs. Cleo Ray, Robert Lowe, Forrest Pontious, John Wirick, A.L. McClanhan, Mrs. Darrel Bruce, secretary. Members of the high school board were Deene Nystrom, John Olmstead, Ray Rusco. Bus drivers were Richard Forrest, Milford Forrest, Louie Fitz, Earlsey Olmstead. Custodians were Melvin Paxson, and Art Howe. Cooks were mrs. Charles Cole, Mrs. Forrest Davis and Mrs. Chris Bond. Officers in the Argonia PTA were Marjorie Bishop, president: Mrs. Everett Swingle, vice president; Mrs. Gordon Fitts, Jr., secretary. Tom Pettit treasurer. The cost of the new building was $250. The Argonia football season came to an end about that time and the Argosy reported the defeat of Bluff City at Bluff City. Although having only one scrimmage play during the first quarter the Raiders nevertheless had 14 points to lead at the end of play. After receiving the kick off and making the first down, Bluff City was forced to punt with speedy Gary Sevier promptly gathering in the kick and running it back for a score. After another series of Bluff City plays Argonia took over on the first play. Sevier took over again and on the first play Sevier again went around end with good blocks and travel all the way.
From the Star Files From April 1891 The Eureka Drug Store is a credit to Conway Springs. City election next Monday and not a candidate for any of the offices. From present indications, guess we’re not going to have an election next Monday. There is no one to vote for yet. Maywood and Chitwood, barbers, display a gaudy new sign in front of their place of business. We publish this week the annual report of the city treasurer, W.E. Atchison, showing the receipts and disbursements of the city in the fiscal year just ended: Examine it, and you will know exactly, what has been done with your money. The showing is very good, on hand was $744.64, the city not owing a cent. Conway Springs school enrollment is 147 with average daily attendance at 111. The great showman, P.T. Barnum, died Tuesday night at his home in Bridgeport, Conn. The German government has definitely decided to withdraw the embargo on American pork. It is estimated by some of our farmers that the wheat crop in this locality will average all of thirty bushels to the acre. Chicago suffered one of the most destructive conflagrations that occurred here since the big fire of 1871. The loss was fully $1,000,000. It was in almost the exact geographical center of the city that the flames started, and, like the disaster 20 years ago,
Think:
it began in a stable, which was in the rear of John M. Smythe’s house furnishing establishment on West Madison Street, near Halstead Street. The flames speedily communicated to the Smythe furniture establishment, and a moment later to Kohl and Middleton’s dime museum. Wheat is selling for one dollar per bushel in this city. The first annual graduating exercises of the college will be held in the M.E. church of this city, next Wednesday evening. A small admission fee will be charged to defray expenses. Pain is no longer necessary in childbirth. Its causes, being understood, are easily overcome. Any woman may now become a mother without suffering any pain whatever- the labor being made short, easy and free from danger. Morning sickness, swelled limbs and all other like evils can be readily controlled and all female diseases speedily cured. 20,000 ladies attest to its merits. Suffer not a day longer, but send two-cent stamps and receive in sealed envelope full particulars, testimonials. Adams, the murderer of Capt. Couch, was sentenced to be hung at Wichita by Judge Dundy, the time set being June 26, 1891. Badger Lumber Co., Dealer in Lumber, Lath and Shingles. Also a Full Stock of Sash, Doors, Moulding, Lime, Cement, Hair, Plaster and Building Paper Always on Hand. G.A. Talbert, Manager.

Could you have prediabetes? Signs to watch for
Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about prediabetes, and how can you know if you have it? My 62-year-old husband, who’s in pretty good shape, was recently diagnosed with prediabetes and didn’t have clue. Could I have it too? Wondering Spouse
Jim Miller | Columnist
ed, it almost always turns into type 2 diabetes within 10 years. And, if you have prediabetes, the long-term damage it can cause – especially to your heart and circulatory system – may already be starting. But the good news is that prediabetes doesn’t mean that you’re destined for full-blown diabetes. Prediabetes can actually be reversed, and diabetes prevented, by making
some simple lifestyle changes like losing weight, exercising, eating a healthy diet and cutting back on carbohydrates. Or, if you need more help, oral medications may also be an option. Because prediabetes typically causes no outward symptoms, most people that have it don’t realize it. The only way to know for sure if you have it is to get a blood test. Everyone age 45 years or older should consider getting tested for prediabetes, especially if you are overweight with a body mass index (BMI) above 25. See CDC.gov/bmi to calculate your BMI. If you are younger than 45 but are overweight, or have high blood pressure, a family history of diabetes, or belong to an ethnic
group (Latino, Asian, African or Native American) at high risk for diabetes, you should get checked too. To help you determine your risk of diabetes, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has a quick, online risk test you can take for free at DoIHavePrediabetes.org. If you find that you’re at risk for prediabetes, there are three different tests your doctor can give you to diagnosis it. The most common is the “fasting plasma glucose test,” which requires an eight-hour fast before you take it. There’s also the “oral glucose tolerance test” to see how your body processes sugar, and the “hemoglobin A1C test” that measures your average
blood sugar over the past three months. It can be taken anytime regardless of when you ate. Most private health insurance plans and Medicare cover diabetes tests, however, if you’re reluctant to visit your doctor to get tested, an alternative is to go to the drug store, buy a blood glucose meter and test yourself at home. They cost around $20. If you find that you are prediabetic or diabetic, you need to see your doctor to develop a plan to get it under control. The ADA recommends losing weight and doing moderate exercise – such as 150 minutes a week of brisk walking. And when lifestyle changes alone don’t work, medication might. The ADA recommends the generic drug metformin,
especially for very overweight people younger than 60. For more information on diabetes and prediabetes or to find help, join a lifestyle change program recognized by the CDC (see CDC.gov/ diabetes/prevention). These programs offer in-person and online classes in more than 1,500 locations throughout the U.S. Over the course of a year, a coach will help you eat healthy, increase your physical activity and develop new habits.

Think:
Dear Wondering, Underlying today’s growing epidemic of type 2 diabetes is a much larger epidemic called prediabetes, which is when the blood sugar levels are higher than they should be but not high enough to be called diabetes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that as many as 84 million Americans today have prediabetes. Left untreat-

Learning how to travel again
I’m sure you’re all familiar with the old phrase, “It’s just like riding a bike.” And sometimes that’s true – even though you haven’t done something in a while, you pick it back up immediately. Cooking a favorite recipe from memory. Finding your way to a store you haven’t visited in a while. Driving to work in late April and being unfazed when you see two huge snowplows heading the other way. That one just happened Tuesday morning. So yes, you can figuratively and literally get back on a bike and ride it again. But once in a while, you get on the bike and realize you don’t remember whether it has pedal breaks or hand brakes. And by the time you do remember, you might just be in trouble. This past weekend, Kim and I started adding travel back into our lives. Now that we’re fully vaccinated for COVID, we feel like we can cautiously start traveling again. First on the list was a trip to Missouri to see my oldest daughter Abby and my two grandchildren, Felix and Margot. And over the next month, we’ll fly to Chicago to see my youngest child, Katie, and take a weekend lake trip with friends. Collectively, that’s more traveling than we’ve done through the entire pandemic. And I discovered this past weekend that I must learn how to pack again. Before the pandemic, I was a pretty good packer. I could take a week-long or 10-day trip and only take a small carryon suitcase. My second bag was always a backpack with my toiletries, medications, snacks and possibly camera gear, depending on the destination. You would have thought that a two-day trip to see the grandkids would have been a breeze…and the perfect opportunity to brush up on my packing skills. Back on the bike, so to speak. Well, shoot. Once we got to my daughter’s house and started settling in, I realized there was a pretty good list of things I had forgotten. I didn’t bring any night clothes. I forgot part of my medications…but luckily none of my prescription meds. I did not bring

any grubby clothes. And, I completely forgot my tackle box to go with the fishing poles I had remembered to toss in the back of the truck. Well, shoot. Kim was quick to point out that I had remembered to bring plenty of other clothes, I had all of my important medications, and I hadn’t forgotten my wallet. When she put it that way, I was able to relax again. And relax we did. The weather was cold and wet, so the grandkids weren’t that excited about fishing, anyway. But they were excited about going to the mall Saturday morning and doing some shopping. After months of not being with my grandkids, I literally spoiled them rotten. We set a budget for our shopping, and my grandson – who is getting really good at math – initially was concerned about keeping himself and his little sister within those budgets. Once we got started, though, he quickly realized that grandpa didn’t really give a hoot about those imaginary shopping limits. He was free to shop, free to have a little fun, and free to love his grandpa just a teensy bit more than he did earlier that morning. And over the weekend, I managed to spoil my daughter a little bit, too. We ate out a couple of times, and Kim and I even took the grandkids to the grocery store, and I cooked dinner Saturday night. Did we take the kids through the drive-thru for sugary beverages? Yes we did. Did we buy ice cream at the grocery store? Of course we did. My blood sugar levels suffered a bit, but it was worth it for a fantastic weekend with the grandkids. And the next time I hit the road, which will be soon, I bet I’ll do a better job of packing. And I’ll certainly bring more money.

I got my shots but I’m keeping my mask
As this week’s paper hits mailboxes, I am able to consider myself fully vaccinated. Actually, that day was Wednesday, when the papers went to the post office – two full weeks to the day after my second shot and five weeks since my first shot. Knowing that I’m vaccinated is a comfort. I don’t have any concerns, in part because I know the chances of any side effect are much, much smaller than the odds of actually getting COVID-19, which has now claimed more than 550,000 American lives. When you see me around, you’ll likely notice that I’m still wearing a mask. There are a few reasons. One is that while I now have immunity, I don’t have invincibility. Just last week, one county in California reported that out of roughly 400 new cases of COVID-19, 39 were in people who were vaccinated. That figure seems to match up with an efficacy rate ap-

proaching 90 percent. We need to remember that the main purpose of the vaccine is to keep us alive, and to lessen the symptoms and the danger if we do get sick. Keeping us from catching COVID-19 is a secondary goal. Evidence seems to indicate that vaccinated people are less likely to spread the disease. The more of us who do get vaccinated, the more likely we are to reach herd immunity. And the closer we get to herd immunity, the sooner we can actually return to life as we knew it. That chance that Icould still catch the disease – and the chance that I could spread the disease – is why I will keep wearing my mask for now. My mask has yet to cost
me an actual civil liberty. My right to vote has not changed; actually, state legislatures are doing more to curtail voting rights than masks are. I can profess whatever religious or political beliefs that I like. I can live where I want, travel freely, work in whatever career I choose, affiliate with the people I want to be with. All the things that considered actual civil rights, I still have. That doesn’t mean I like wearing a mask, but to me it still feels like the right thing to do. And that is how I have always felt. I put on a mask before there were any mandates. I did so because health officials asked me to do it, for the health of others and later for myself. And health officials are still recommending we mask up. I’m doing it for people like my nieces and nephews who are too young to get vaccinated now. I’m doing it for people whose health prohibits them from getting vaccinated. And I’m doing it for the people who have refused to wear their own masks and now are refusing to get their vaccines, whatever their reasons may
be. I’m doing it because I was asked to doing something for my friends and neighbors, and that’s what feels right to me. I grew up a true Gen Xer – suspicious of anybody in power. I question the motives of the powerful. But I also grew up in a time when there was a much, much higher trust in science. Science seemed above the bullcrap of politics, and I still feel that way. The motives of politicians always seem more questionable than the motives of scientists. As Americans, we struggle to understand the absence of something as a sign of success. However, the absence of things like polio and smallpox speaks to me about the faith we should have in vaccinations. Besides, what can a computer chip in my arm tell about me that isn’t available through my cell phone, my internet history and whatever the NSA listened to during the Bush and Obama administrations? With two shots in my arms and one mask on my face, I am looking forward to reclaiming my life.
Building communities takes unselfish acts
I often joke about the fact that I love to judge people just like on American Idol. Except I am not qualified to judge musicians — my forte is public speaking. I love judging 4-H model meetings, FFA discussion meets and any other speaking contests. I enjoy sharing my life-tested knowledge in hopes of helping participants improve their skills for the future. As much as I enjoy judging contests, it is a behavior I am constantly working to avoid in real life. Both my religion and my character remind me it is not my place to judge others. I rarely know all the details of a situation or the history that has shaped the people involved. More importantly, it is likely not any of my business, and I should just try to worry about judging my own actions and using my criticism to make myself a better person. I am not perfect though. Lately there is one behavior that that turns my head and sends me into a judgmental spiral every time — passive selfishness. I am not talking about outright, obvious

selfishness most of us see clearly and condemn. I see passive selfishness as what happens when we let ourselves believe we as individuals do not have an obligation to the needs of our communities and our own desires are more important than what society needs. For example, I can become irrationally infuriated if someone needs a reason to do something good, like donating blood. I can’t understand how a person doesn’t have guilt over the choice that could potentially save a life. Community involvement might be the hardest-hit victim of passive selfishness. I remember a friend in college asking me why I would give up my nights and weekends for volunteer work or activities benefiting the college. At the time, I was taken aback because growing up in a small farming town, I had been surrounded by community-oriented people my whole life. Since then, I have seen so many examples of people who want to live in thriving communities but won’t serve on boards or volunteer to help with events and others who complain about
to

politicians on social media but don’t show up to town halls, vote or even run in opposition. When we are willing to sacrifice our own comforts or desires, our communities are impacted in lasting ways. Sometimes it takes a small inconvenience like a needle prick and giving up an hour out of the 1,344 hours every eight weeks to save someone’s parent, sibling or child by donating blood. Other times it’s saying goodbye to the sweet dreams of sleeping in on Saturday to judge a 4-H speaking contest that encourages young people to grow their leadership and communication skills. Raising your hand to serve your community often means giving up time that you could be spending on your priorities to do work that will benefit others. That time isn’t wasted if it allows you to set an example of what it takes to
make the world better and will often give you more satisfaction than accomplishing something that only benefits a single person. It might seem like being selfish is the easy way, but I’m comforted by the knowledge that when you give, you receive so much more than you could ever imagine. I know we’re all guilty of the occasional personal indulgence, but it’s always good to reflect and really ask yourself if you could be doing more. The only way our communities grow stronger is if people make the choice to put them first. We can make excuses, or we can make our communities better. I hope everyone can experience the benefits and rewards of making them better. Editor’s note: Insight is a weekly column published by Kansas Farm Bureau.
