Some LED lights in the Wichita area are turning purple, a problem caused by a failing component. Evergy is working with its supplier to identify the extent of the problem and find a solution.

Bad component behind changes in street lights

If it feels like street lights in your town have been turning purple, you are not alone.

Some Evergy street lights in Sedgwick County communities have turned purple, and others have noticed as well.

“Lights are turning blue-purple due to a component that is failing,” Evergy spokesperson Andrew Baker told TSnews. “We’re

looking into it and working on the situation.”

Wester Energy – the company that preceded Evergy – installed new LED lights across much of its service area in 2018. The change to LEDs – light-emitting diode lamps – was noticeable. The program to change out street lights started in spring 2018 and took months to complete. At the time, work started in Wichita and moved out to surrounding communities. A spokesperson told TSnews in 2018 that Westar was upgrading all the lights in its service territory. LED lights give

off a truer color of light, which is helpful for safety and crime prevention, the spokesperson said. The lights also are supposed to be more reliable.

Which means the current problem was unexpected.

“They’re definitely failing prematurely,” Baker said.

He said Evergy is working with its LED supplier. Lights are currently being inspect-

New Fall Fest committee forming in Conway Springs

By Michelle Leidy-Franklin TSnews mfranklin@tsnews.com

CONWAY SPRINGS – A small group of community members gathered Friday, April

23, to discuss the fate of the Conway Springs Fall Festival.

Members of the community interested in continuing the tradition joined Mayor Jessica Gerlach at the local community center.

“We are looking for a group of people who are willing to step in and say we are going to put on whatever kind of fall festival we want to put on and continue on with the tradition,” said Gerlach.

Gerlach announced that the

Conway Springs Chamber of Commerce had decided as a group to step back from their efforts with the fall festival. While members of the Chamber may

Odds and Ends Record highs erase memory of snow Last week on Tuesday, snow was the top weather story in Kansas. The Wichita area received a dusting up to roughly an inch, depending on location. Northern parts of Kansas saw as much as 3-6 inches of snow.

Seven days later, record highs were recorded in northwest Kansas. In Hill City, the mercury hit 97 degrees, breaking the old record of 93 that was set in 1955.

In Colby, it was 92. That broke the old record of 87, set in 1987.

The official high in Wichita on Monday was 63.

U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) and U.S. Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kansas) have introduced legislation in the Senate and the House of Representatives to designate the Chisholm and Western cattle trails as National Historic Trails.

Starting in Caldwell, the Chisholm Trail ran through Sumner County, and then through Clearwater and near Oatville in Sedgwick County before continuing into Wichita.

It ended in Abilene, where cattle were loaded onto railcars and shipped east. The Western Trail ran through Dodge City and other communities.

Both trails were used primarily from 1867 to 1885 to move cattle across the country, contributing to the economic growth of the towns and cities the trails passed through.

Obituaries Ron Burnett

Ronald Lee (Ron) Burnett, age 73, passed away unexpectedly at this home in Kimberling City, Mo., on Saturday, April 17, 2021.

Ron was born March 19, 1948, to Ray Ellis and Norvella Lavon (Flickinger) Burnett, Conway Springs. He graduated with the Conway Springs High School class of 1967.

He studied at Pasadena Playhouse College of Theatre Arts in California. Upon graduation, he was handed his diploma by actor Raymond Burr. He also went to the Academy Awards with actress Vera Miles and her daughter. After six years in California and as his grandparents (Florence Adams Flickinger and Leonard Flickinger) were getting older, he decided to move closer to home and lived and worked in Wichita.

He spent many years self-employed painting, tile work, remodeling, and landscaping. He did the most beautiful work inside and out. For five years, he was co-owner of Next Door Antiques with sister, Linda, in Missouri. He was a manager for Wal-Mart, retiring in June 2020.

Ron loved anything to do with the water. Friends and family have wonderful memories of sailing on his catamaran, boating on his antique boat, and canoeing. He loved the outdoors and we loved hearing the stories of hiking, camping, and all the beautiful flowers and birds in his yard.

He had great fun restoring his 1976 Corvette and 1967 Aristocraft boat with brother, Jerry. Memories of the Halloweens and times spent with niece Missy Adams Terry and family Randy, Savannah, Tristan were very special to him.

Ron had such a great zest for life and was open to any adventure. He was always a great traveling companion. He traveled with his sister, Linda, to antique shows and researching genealogy. His sister, Marsha, loves the memories of their California and Rose Bowl trips and visiting Biltmore. Jaunts to Crystal Bridges Museum in Arkansas with friend Sharon were always a great time. His mother said she will miss their two-hour-long phone conversations.

He loved taking trips and meeting friends on his beloved Indian and Gold Wing motorcycles. Ron never met a stranger and those trips and friends were priceless to him. Among his adventures were motorcycle trips with his brother to the Florida Keys and coastline lighthouse cruise. Florida Bike Fest was a great time spent with family. He was looking forward to the next great escapade. Ron was always so excited about everything and it showed by the big smile on his face at all times.

Ron was proceeded in death by his father, brother-inlaw Neal Harrelson and beloved cats Junior and Missy Kitty. He is survived by his mother, Arthur Atwill, sisters Linda Adams and Marsha Harrelson, brother Jerry Burnett, nieces and nephews, and many friends and family.

He will be missed by all.

Argonia BOE upholds decision to drop masks

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

ARGONIA – The USD 359 Board of Education has upheld its decision to drop its mask mandate for students and staff.

The 7-0 decision came in a Wednesday special meeting last week.

The board originally voted 7-0 on April 12 to drop its mask mandate, making masks optional for staff and students.

The district also will no longer take the temperature of everyone entering school buildings.

All other parts of the district’s response plan are unchanged.

USD 359 almost immediately received its first request for a

City council

Haysville to celebrate Bike Month

By Nancy D. Borst TSnews

HAYSVILLE – The city wants residents to get out and take advantage of warm spring weather next month. The city council on Monday approved a proclamation marking May as Bike Month in Haysville.

May also is National Bike Month. May 2 is Ride a Bike Today day and the week of May 17 is National Bike to Work Week. Mayor Bruce Armstrong told the council he will again hold the Mayor’s Bike Ride on Monday, May 3.

The mayor’s ride will start at the new shelter in Dorner Park at 6 p.m. Everyone is welcome to join in the ride, which will go by the lake and total about two miles. At 5 p.m., the city will mark Arbor Day by planting five trees in the park.

The council had a light agenda Monday. Other actions included approving two temporary special event permits for consumption of alcohol at the Senior Center. One is for a 50th wedding anniversary party and the other is for the Chamber’s Gold Star event. This year’s Gold Star event, which raises funds for the Chamber, will be June 19 from 4-10 p.m.

Council members also renewed a farm lease agreement but increased the tenant’s rent to $50 per acre, for a total of $3,650. Bills for the last half of April also were approved for payment.

Police chief Jeff Whitfield reported that the Drug Take Back event last weekend yielded more than 200 pounds of unwanted, unused medications. He reminded the community of upcoming anniversaries of tornadoes in Haysville and urged everyone to have a severe weather plan to stay safe.

During council comments, a concern was raised about the “purple” streetlights around town. Armstrong said these lights are defective. The city has more than 130 lights that are emitting the purple hue and Evergy will have to repair them, he said.

Cheney clinic to offer OBGYN outreach CHENEY – Hutchinson Clinic will begin to offer obstetric and gynecological services at its Cheney location starting in May. Dr. Johanna Augustin, OBGYN, will see patients at Hutchinson Clinic-Cheney on the second Thursday of every month.

The first appointments are available on May 13.

Appointments may be scheduled by call 620-6692578. The Cheney clinic is located at 103 N. Main street.

Augustin joined Hutchinson Clinic last

hearing to challenge the board’s decision. The recently passed Kansas Senate Bill 40 established a procedure for challenging the policies of governing bodies regarding mask mandates. According to the new law, the district has 72 hours to hold a hearing.

Dr. Rustin Clark, Argonia’s superintendent, is the district’s hearing officer.

After the hearing, the board of education has seven days after the hearing to act. If the complainant disagrees with the board’s final decision, the next step would to be to file a lawsuit in civil court.

SB 40 puts the same time restrictions on the courts – a hearing within 72 hours and a ruling within seven days of the hearing.

It was widely assumed that the Republican-controlled Legislature passed SB 40 to give patrons an opportunity to push for the repeal of mask mandates, but the law also allows patrons to challenge decisions to repeal mask mandates.

No other business was conducted at last week’s special meeting.

Online show showcases Clearwater students

CLEARWATER – The Clearwater High School student show is now online.

The show provides the public a chance to see some of the projects students have put together in art, industrial technology and business. The show can be seen online at https://padlet.com/jasher7/ tjwnzj0ddvpfrqwj.

Most entries right now are anonymous. More pictures may be added.

Art instructor Janessa Asher came up with the idea for the student show after realizing many of this school year’s in-person competitions had been cancelled. She wanted students to have the experience of having their work viewed.

“Students get excited to see their work displayed for their peers. It’s very motivating,” she said.

News Briefs Correction: Pool rates CHENEY – The April 15 print edition of TSnews incorrectly reported that Cheney Municipal Pool prices will increase in 2021.

The pool prices reported in that story were correct. Due to a reporter’s error, it was incorrectly reported that those prices were an increase. Instead, the prices have been unchanged since the 2010 season.

Daily admission will remain $3. The cost for swim lessons will be $30. Pool parties will

be $90.

Clearwater FCCLA qualifies for national competitions

CLEARWATER – Several Clearwater High School students will take part in the national competition for students in Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA).

The Kansas FCCLA State Leadership Conference was held virtually on April 12, where the results from the state level STAR Event (Students Taking Action with Recognition) results were announced. STAR Events are individual and team events which recognize participants who demonstrate knowledge, skills and abilities to actively identify an issue concerning families, careers or communities, research the topic and develop and implement a project to advocate for positive change. The top two scorers in each event will represent Kansas and compete at the national level in Nashville, Tennessee this summer. Clearwater FCCLA had six members competing at the state level.

Corrigan Bielefeld compet-

ed in the Career Investigation event. She was required to perform self-assessments, research, explore a career, gain experience and create a plan for achieving goals related to her selected career of a lawyer. She earned a

silver medal and second place, which qualifies her to compete at nationals this summer.

Miranda Shoaf and Ava Schulte competed in the Chapter Service Project Portfolio event.

develop and implement an indepth service project that makes a worthwhile contribution to families, schools and communities. They created the Kids in the Kitchen program, which teaches elementary and middle school students about kitchen safety and proper procedures.

They placed second and earned a silver medal, which qualifies them to compete in Nashville this summer.

Emily Cotton and Aubrey Gill competed in the Promote and Publicize FCCLA event.

This requires members to use communications skills and techniques to educate the school and community about FCCLA with the intention of growing and strengthening FCS and FCCLA programs. They worked to bring awareness to Clearwater FCCLA through fundraising events. They placed first, earned a gold medal and will compete at the National level for a second year in a row.

Savannah Schule competed in

the Digital Stories for Change event. This event asks members to research and develop a digital story to advocate for positive change. The topic given for this school year is human trafficking.

Schule’s video brings awareness to the role social media plays in human trafficking. Schule has also qualified to compete in Nashville this summer.

Family, Career and Community Leaders of America is a nonprofit national career and technical student organization for young men and women. Its mission is to promote personal growth and leadership through Family and Consumer Sciences Education. FCCLA is the only student organization with family as the central focus. Since 1945, this organization has involved more than nine million youth and there are currently 220,000 members in nearly 7,000 chapters across the 50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

One coach hired as another retires at Cheney High School

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

CHENEY – One former Cheney High School graduate will take the place of another as the head varsity girls basketball coach at CHS. Head coach Rod Scheer recently announced his retirement from coaching, although he will continue to teach at Cheney High School. His replacement will be Sarah (Wells)

McCormick, who was an assistant on this year’s undefeated Class 3A State championship team.

Scheer started his career as a boys assistant at Collegiate, then went to Atwood followed by Colby, where he met his wife. After two years in Colby, he led the Neosho County Community College women’s program for four years. After one year as an assistant at Kapaun-Mt. Carmel, he took over the women’s program at Newman. He

Signing

Name: Alli Puetz

College: University of St. Mary Spires

High School: Garden Plain Owls

Sport: Volleyball

Why USM: “I just looked at schools in Kansas to begin with. The campus looked very pretty. The coach reminded me of how (Garden Plain) Coach (Gina) Clark did things. It reminded me of Garden Plain a little bit.”

Major: Undecided.

Favorite memory: “I would have to say my junior year at State. That year was really a really good, fun year. I also loved my senior year and playing substate at home. And my sophomore year when we won State.”

A little bit more: Puetz began playing volleyball in sixth grade at the YMCA. She played on Club GP team in seventh and eighth grade for Gina Clark but did not continue playing club volleyball through high school. Instead, she was busy with the basketball and the track and field teams for GPHS. “Volleyball is my favorite sport. I have so many good memories from basketball, too. But with volleyball, I’m always happy at the end of the day.”

Conway Springs’ Annual

SPRING CLEAN-UP DAY Sat., May 1, 2021

hired on with the Newman Jets when another Cheney native, Mark Potter, was hired to restart NU’s men’s team.

Scheer was the fifth coach in five years at Newman. The women had just 16 wins over the previous four seasons. They won six games that first season, then jumped to 23 victories the next year.

But with small children, Scheer wanted to be home more and to see his own kids play. The family already lived in Cheney.

So he took a job teaching, and spent four years as an assistant. After the Cardinals won their first-ever team title, Scheer took over as head coach, and has been in that role for 11 years. He has coached for 32 years, and has been involved in basketball for 40 seasons when you count his high school and college playing days.

“I never thought I would have come back home to do this. It’s been a wonderful, wonderful experience,” he told TSnews after the Cardinals’ championship.

Winning the title again has meant a lot to many people outside of the program. Cheney is a strong basketball town. “I’m glad to do it for our school and community. Growing up here, it means the world to me.”

In an online statement officially announcing his retirement, Scheer said coaching has made him a better person and making friends with fellow coaches was a true blessing.

“Their guidance and

advice throughout the years has played a very meaningful role in my coaching career,” he wrote.

“To all my former players, I don’t know if I can express how important you all are to me and my family. I appreciate your hard work, commitment and sacrifices each year at all my coaching stops.”

McCormick came to Cheney from Scott City, where she turned around the Beavers’ basketball program and led them to four straight State basketball appearances. The Beavers had never qualified for State before then, and had two substate wins the prior five seasons. Scott City had a winning record in four of five seasons with McCormick at the helm.

McCormick was the Garden Plain girls’ head coach for five seasons before going west. The Owls went 101-21 and went to State three times, placing second once and taking third once. She did not coach from 2013 to 2015.

After a year as Cheney’s assistant, McCormick is excited for the opportunity to again lead a program.

“It’s always nice when it’s your program and your molding kids into your program,” she said. “It’s nice to be home. They always expect success, and so do the players.”

Many people have asked McCormick about having coached the team that was her alma mater’s rival, and now coaching the rival of her first head coaching job.

Rod Scheer, right, has announced he is retiring as head coach of the Cheney girls’ basketball team.

Sarah McCormick, left, pictured with fellow assistant coach Todd Hague at the 3A State basketball championship, will take over as head coach next season.

Plain have been nothing but supportive, and Cheney was supportive when I was at Garden Plain. I think people understand I’m going home again,” she said, adding that coaching in Garden Plain was a high point.

The Cheney and Garden Plain communities both have expectations when it comes to basketball.

In Scott City, people had hopes rather than expectations.

“That was a whole different challenge,” McCormick said. Over the past five years, that program

has learned how to have high expectations. “That’s something I was extremely proud of.”

As a player, McCormick helped the Cheney Cardinals all four years.

They made the final four three times. She played collegiately at Independence Community College, Eastern Illinois and Emporia State. During McCormick’s freshman year, ICC finished as national runner-up. As a senior, McCormick and the ESU Hornets made the final four in the NCAA Division II tournament.

Haysville blood drive is Saturday

HAYSVILLE – An American Red Cross blood drive will take place this Saturday.

The drive will run 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Haysville Community Library.

Healthy individuals are encouraged to make a blood donation appointment now. But what about those who’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine – can they donate?

As long as donors are symptom-free, feeling well and can provide the vaccine manufacturer’s name, there’s no waiting period required after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine currently authorized in the U.S. Additional

blood donation eligibility information is available at www.RedCrossBlood.org/ Eligibility.

The Red Cross is testing blood, platelet and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies. The test may indicate if the donor’s immune system has produced antibodies to this coronavirus, regardless of whether they developed symptoms. Testing may also identify the presence of antibodies developed after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.

To schedule a donation time, download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-

800-733-2767) or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent in Kansas), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Soil tells the story of Sedgwick County

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

WICHITA – Sedgwick County Soil Stories is a project celebrating soil in the county.

The project was put together by the Sedgwick County Conservation District and coordinated by former district manager Catherine Johnson. The stories debuted online last week on Earth Day, April 22.

“The first thing we all think of with soil is for growing things. You have the rural and urban connection of growing on different scales,” she said.

Johnson said soil is the basis of the “built environment,” literally supporting homes and businesses and being under our feet.

Johnson said one goal was to find “common ground” to connect urban and rural residents. The stories tell how soil is being used across Sedgwick County.

The stories go beyond farms and gardens. The Ponca Tribe used to camp on a site along the Arkansas River where the Hyatt Regency in downtown Wichita is now located. In the 1930s, people moved load after load of soil by wheelbarrow so that Lawrence Stadium (later Lawrence-Dumont Stadium, and now the site of Riverfront Stadium) could be built as a project coordinated by the Works Progress Administration.

The WPA was responsible for all kinds of projects nationwide, helping put unemployed Americans to work.

“There are untold stories,” Johnson said. “There is history held in that soil.”

A major event was planned for last October, with multi-sensory, interactive display of soil samples and the stories of the contributors. Additional exhibits and panel discussions were planned, including an opening reception at the Cheney Public Library. The soil

• Kohls Farm, Clearwater. In an online video, Doug Kohls talks about the farm that originally belonged to his great-grandfather. He describes a cover crop experiment conducted in summer 2020.

Johnson said working with soil can even be therapeutic.

“Soil is so tactile. You touch it and get it on your skin and interact with it,” she said.

The stories can be found online at www.sedgwickcountysoilstories.org.

The project was funded through a grant from Humanities Kansas, a non-profit dedicated to telling local stories.

Officers complete police training

Twenty-three new law enforcement officers graduated from the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center (KLETC) on April 9 at a ceremony held in KLETC’s Integrity Auditorium.

Graduates receive certificates of course completion from KLETC and Kansas law enforcement certification from the Kansas Com-

mission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training, the state’s law enforcement licensing authority. The training course fulfills the state requirement for law enforcement training.

Classroom lectures and hands-on applications help train officers to solve the increasingly complex problems they face in the line of duty.

Local graduates include Jordynn Corbett and Tracy Roniger of the Haysville Police Department, and Jason Boyd of the Conway Spring Police Department.

The graduates, who began their training in December 2020, represented 19 municipal, county and state law enforcement agencies from across Kansas.

Established by the Kansas Legislature in 1968, KLETC trains the majority of municipal, county and state law enforcement officers in Kansas and oversees the training of the remaining officers at seven authorized and certified academy programs operated by local law enforcement agencies and the Kansas Highway Patrol.

Kansas to resume J&J vaccine shots

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has announced that Kansas will resume administration of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 vaccine following an announcement on April 23 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) encouraging

resumption of the vaccine.

“Today, Kansas will resume administering the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine,” said Governor Laura Kelly.

“After a brief pause and a thorough review, the CDC and FDA have determined the vaccine is safe and effective. Whether it’s the Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer or Moderna, I strongly encourage every

Kansan to get vaccinated as soon as they can.”

Johnson & Johnson administration was paused April 13 by the CDC and FDA following reports of recipients in the United States who developed a rare disorder involving blood clots within about two weeks of vaccination.

Following these reviews, the CDC and FDA have recommended that John-

son & Johnson be resumed in the United States.

Those who have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine should contact their health care provider if they have any symptoms and report any illness to the VAERS Reporting System, https://vaers.hhs.gov.

Kansas’ next supply of Johnson & Johnson vaccine is anticipated next week with 1,700 doses.

That includes the Campus Colts at 6A, the Goddard Lions and Eisenhower Tigers in 5A, and the Clearwater Indians and Andale-Garden Plain Indians-Owls in 4A. Regional tournaments will be the week of May 17.

Marcus Lindley, a sophomore at Friends University and a graduate of Eisenhower High School in Goddard, competes during the squat event at the USA Powerlifting Collegiate Nationals, held in Baton Rouge, La.

Local powerlifter competes at national event

By Nancy D. Borst TSnews GODDARD – Marcus Lindley, a powerlifter who got his start while at Eisenhower High School, recently competed at the USA Powerlifting Collegiate Nationals in Baton Rouge, La. Lindley represented Friends University at the Collegiate Nationals, where

he competed among the top college-level powerlifters in the country. Lindley is a sophomore at Friends, majoring in psychology.

In addition to being on the powerlifting team at Friends, he also sings with one of the university’s choirs, and hopes to be part of the Singing Quakers while in school there.

He sings bass, and enjoys singing opera.

While at Eisenhower High School, Lindley taught himself how to powerlift, and helped start a powerlifting club at EHS. He broke several high school and state records, and set a bench press record at the 5A Nationals his senior year.

Powerlifting is a strength sport that consists of three attempts at maximal weight on three lifts: squat,

bench press, and deadlift.

As in the sport of Olympic weightlifting, it involves the athlete attempting a maximal weight single lift of a barbell loaded with weight plates.

Lindley qualified for the Collegiate Nationals during a competition in San Antonio, Texas. He placed third overall out of more than 200 competitors at that event.

Track and field Regional meets will be either May 20 or May 21. On May 20, Clearwater will compete in the 4A regional at Andale On May 21, Campus will take part in the 6A regional at Garden City. Cheney also will go west for the 3A regional at Holcomb. Eisenhower and Goddard will be in the 5A regional at Wichita Northwest.

Conway Springs and Garden Plain will be at Bluestem in Leon for the 2A regional. Argonia will travel to Caldwell for the 1A regional.

Golf Regional tournaments will be May 17. Cheney plays in the 3-2-1A regional at Kingman. Clearwater will tee off in the 4A regional at Wellington. Goddard and Eisenhower will be in the 5A Andover regional at Crestview Country Club. Campus will be part of the 6A regional at Garden City.

Tennis Regional action will be at the end of next week.

The Campus Colts will play in the Wichita South 6A regional on May 8. Goddard and Eisenhower will complete in the 5A regional at Arkansas City on May 8.

Soccer Regional play will be the week of May 17. Brackets for 5A (Eisenhower and Goddard) and 6A (Campus) will be made late the week before. Higher seeds will host games.

Census: Kansas to keep its four Congressional seats

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

Information from the 2020 United States Census shows an ongoing shift in population from the Northeast and Midwest to the South and West.

Thirteen states will either gain or lose seats, but Kansas won’t be among them. The Sunflower State will retain its four seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Texas will gain two seats, while Oregon, Montana, Colorado, Florida and

North Carolina each will pick up a seat. Losing one seat each will be New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Illinois and California.

Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ohio have been swing states in the past three presidential

elections.

Those changes are based on information released Monday by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Kansas currently has four Congressional districts. The state had five Congressional districts until 1992, reflecting changes following the 1990 Census.

Legislation originally passed in 1911 set the number of members of the House of Representatives at 435. That means, as

Ward’s Quality Lawn Care

the United States grows, each Congressional District encompasses a larger number of people.

Congress can pass laws to change the number of members of the House.

The very first Congress had about 33,000 per House district; today that number is about 740,000.

In the 1800s, membership in the House grew through both increased population and the addition of new states. Twenty-nine of the 50 states joined the Union

between 1803 and 1896.

The House was at its largest – 437 members – after Hawaii and Alaska were admitted as states in 1959. That number was reduced back to 435 in 1963.

More detailed information will come out later this year, including updated population totals for cities and counties. That information will be used to redraw election districts for the 2020 mid-term elections.

This marker along 90th Avenue North shows where the Chisholm Trail crossed east of Conway Springs.

Trail From Page A1 “When we think about advances that moved our country forward, the Chisholm and Western Trails are two of those elements that helped shape the Midwestern economy – with millions of cattle traveling through the Great Plains,” said Rep. Estes. “Farmers and ranchers from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Nebraska have always been a critical part of this country, and the cowboy culture that was evident on the Chisholm and Western trails are at the very heart of who we are as Americans – hard-working, rugged and independent.

“Designating these trails is more than just noting paths through the Great Plains, but showcasing the historical significance of the people who traveled the more than 1,300 miles

Lights From Page A1 ed and that work should be done soon. The failing lights are primarily impacting the Wichita and Topeka areas. Baker said the issue does not seem to have impacted Lawrence, for example.

The lights are covered under warranty, so the solution will not cost Evergy or its customers any money, Baker said.

The problem seems to have impacted lights in Cheney, Clearwater and Goddard to varying

through multiple states, and their way of life.”

Designating these trails as NHT will permit the National Park Services (NPS) to partner voluntarily with landowners, communities, state and local governments to maintain, conserve and promote the trails. These trails will join the 19 other designated historic trails across the nation, including five trails that run in part through Kansas.

This legislation includes protections for private property rights along the trails, and cooperation by landowners or communities is strictly on a voluntary basis.

The legislation was originally introduced last year in the 116th Congress, and was reintroduced this year early in the 117th Congress. The legislation in the House is co-sponsored

by U.S. Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Oklahoma).

The Chisholm Trail was in use during the post-Civil

degrees. In Haysville, at least 130 lights have been impacted so far, it was reported on Monday.

Evergy has about 200 street lights per city in Cheney, Clearwater and Goddard, and about 100 more in Garden Plain.

There are about 600 lights in Haysville. Westar had started making changes to LED lighting a number of years ago, but made a renewed effort in 2018.

The projected lifetime of LED street lights is 10-15 years. According to online sources, LEDs do not burn out the way incandescent bulbs do. Outside of mechanical failure, the end of

War era. Cattle from Texas – which were in large supply and worth little money there – were driven from ranches to Kansas railheads.

Jesse Chisholm established the trail, which went south to his southern trading post near the Red River, which now is the border between Oklahoma and Texas.

However, Chisholm was not a cattle drover.

The Chisholm Trail ended in Abilene from 1867 to 1871. As more railroads were built, the end of the trail moved to Newton and then to Wichita. The trail ended in Caldwell from 1883 to 1887. Ellsworth was another key shipping point for cattle, but was not on the Chisholm Trail.

The trail began in Donna, Texas, or San Antonio, Texas, according to many historians. Others say that there was no trail in Texas, and that the trail began at the Red River Station, which was at the mouth of Salt Creek, where drovers left Texas and entered

an LED street light’s lifetime is considered when output has decreased by 30 perent. Unlike other street lights such as mercury vapor or metal halide lights, LED lights are quick to turn on and off.

Also, LEDs don’t contain mercury or lead, and don’t release poisonous gas if damaged. Drivers also should notice less glare.

LED street lights also provide a more directed downward lighting, helping to reduce light pollution.

Evergy was created by a merger between Westar Energy and Kansas City Power and Light.

Indian Territory.

The heyday of the Chisholm Trail lasted less than 20 years, from 1867 to 1884. Roughly 5 million head of cattle were driven along the trail. Cattle drives from Texas started as early as 1836, but shipping along the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico was blocked for much of the Civil War by the Union.

participate as individuals, Gerlach said the group had officially retired from its collective duties, which included the barbecue meal provided at Central Park, buttons, and hosting the Shriners.

Judy Hilger, who had been overseeing the organization of Fall Fest for the last several years, also will be stepping down. She attended the meeting to help give those interested an idea of what goes into making the event a success. She has been volunteering for more than 20 years and plans to help transition the next group of volunteers.

“I’m going to help as much as I can, and I am sure anyone who has been working with Fall Fest will be willing to help the next group of

volunteers,” said Hilger.

Hilger gave an overview of what the Fall Fest Committee and other volunteers did each year and the time line they typically followed. She informed those in attendance that the carnival group used in previous years had already been booked and would not be available for the traditional date on the fourth weekend in September this year. The group agreed the carnival was an essential part of Fall Fest and would research getting a replacement.

Multiple volunteers stepped forward to take over different parts of fall festival and the group agreed to meet again the following week. Volunteers will meet again at 7 p.m. this Thursday at the Conway Springs Community Center, located at 310 E. Spring Ave. in Conway Springs. Those interested in volunteering are encouraged to attend.

Tigers continue winning ways on the pitch

Colts, Lions compete

By Sam Jack TSnews

The Eisenhower Tigers girls soccer team extended its streak for another week: Neither Valley Center nor Salina Central was able to score on the unbeaten Tigers.

Eisenhower beat Valley Center 2-0 on April 21, then got a 10-0 mercy rule win over Salina Central, in a little over an hour, the following day.

Valley Center “made it fairly difficult for us,” Tigers head coach Brandon Sommer said. “We didn’t get our first goal until like the 36th minute. Then a couple of minutes later, we were able to get the second one.”

Both goals were scored

by Emma Franklin, with an assist from Elyse Bozarth and Lexi Jack, respectively.

Opposing defenses have focused on stopping Franklin, a dynamic Som-

mer has encouraged her teammates to take advantage of.

“If they’re swarming on her, she’s got one or two touches, and then we’ve got to get into space to take advantage of the swarm descending on her,” Sommer said. “That’s what we’ve been focused on. Defensively, it’s just making sure we’re solid, taking care of through-ball threats or any time we’re not putting pressure on someone.”

The Tigers hosted Andover Central on Tuesday, April 27, and will host Andover this Thursday, April 29. On Tuesday, May 4, the Tigers play at Maize starting at 6:30 p.m., then host Arkansas City on May 6 starting at 6 p.m.

Lions toss three shutouts in three days

By Michael Buhler TSnews

The Goddard Lions baseball team turned in four sets of dominant pitching performances last week to sweep a pair of doubleheaders from

Valley Center and Wichita Northwest.

The Lions downed Valley Center 3-0 and 7-0, respectively, last Wednesday, then made the trip to Wichita Northwest last Friday and took two more.

Goddard downed the

Grizzlies 9-2 in the opener, then won the nightcap 10-0.

In the opener against Valley Center, Jake Read and Coltin Watkins combined for a three-hit shutout, with Read striking out seven in five innings of

work and Watkins tossing two innings of hitless relief for the save. Jaden Wiley and Lake Hamilton each had a pair of hits for Goddard.

Jake Shope and Hamilton combined for a fourhit shutout of Valley Cen-

ter in the nightcap, with Shope striking out eight in six innings of work for the win. Kyler Semrad had four hits and drove in a pair of runs for the Lions, while Wiley added three hits and two RBIs. Seth Wilhelm struck

out seven in five innings of work to earn the win at Northwest in last Friday’s opener, while Tyler Haskell and Mason Healy each drove in a pair of runs and Haskell, Wiley and

B4 | April 29, 2021

Soccer From Page B1 April 22. After two overtime periods, the game ended in a 0-0 tie.

“We did have some offensive opportunities,” Colts head coach Nicole Peschel said. “Derby probably had more, but our defense was very strong that game – our back four, and our goalie played the game of her career thus far.”

Goalkeeper Alyssa Brown had 12 saves and was also very aggressive in the box, cutting off what would have been promising opportunities for Derby, Peschel said.

A game versus Andover Central scheduled for April 20 was postponed until May 13 due to weather concerns.

The Colts played Maize at home on Tuesday. This Thursday, they travel to Hutchinson for a rematch, after beating the Salthawks during the Titan Classic. On Tuesday, May 4, the Colts travel to Maize South for a game starting at 6:30 p.m.

Mustangs beat Lions in double OT On April 21, the Salina Central Mustangs defeated the Goddard Lions 2-1 in double overtime.

“It was back and forth a lot in regulation,” Lions head coach Josh Hansen said. “Definitely between the 40s almost all game. We snuck one in end of the first half and got up 1-0. Then we kind of sat back and played a lot of defense.

I think our kids thought we had the game won, and kind of a mental lapse, and Salina was able to tie that up late in the second.”

The Lions recovered some momentum during overtime, but a bad clear out of the box resulted in the winning goal for Salina Central. Goddard’s sole goal was scored by Alyssa Rising, with an assist from Kinsey Logan.

“We’ve got to finish the ball,” Hansen said.

“We had a ton of opportunities to put that

Both Cardinals squads compete at Halstead; Cheney boys win title

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com The Cheney Cardinals and the Conway Springs Cardinals track and field teams went to Halstead last Friday.

Levi Martin received a painful cut on the wrist while opening a jar of fruit.

For Sale: a good family mare and a road wagon to sell or trade for a cow.

Old settlers here can remember a snowstorm on the 7th day of May, 1895, that just about equaled the storm of last Monday.

From the Anson Items: Lee Clum’s team pulled up the post they were tied to at the livery last Friday, and he found them- and then they were standing quietly back of his father’s orchard, with the hitching post still attached to them. Neither horses nor buggy were injured in the least.

Twenty cents will buy you a fine dinner at the council room today.

According to the Wellington Journal an attempt was made to rob the Milan post office Tuesday night. It was evidently amateurs who attempted the job, as the charge of dynamite turned the safe over with

the door next to the floor and they could not turn it back, so got disgusted and gave up before securing anything.

Editor’s Note: due to missing newspaper files, there is a gap in the listings from 70 years ago to 40 years ago.

From May 1901 A large number of farmers were in town Saturday congratulating each other upon the fine rain and excellent crop prospects and the merchants really enjoyed a good trade.

The population of Dixon Township as shown by the assessors returns is 758. Of this number 408 reside in the township outside of Argonia and 350 in the city. The actual value of all assessable property in the township is $71,000 of which amount $44,400 is in the country and $27,300 in the city.

met Monday and opened up the registration books as provided for under the new law passed by the last legislature. Of the 232 voters in the township only 25 including the three members of the board availed themselves to the opportunity to register. In Morris Township only seven voters registered out of a total of 90. From this we infer that the new law is not likely to become very popular with the farmers.

The strength of long-time relationships

This week was a good opportunity to be grateful for long-time relationships in my work career here with this newspaper group.

It dawned on me Tuesday just how many people up and down Main Street I’ve done business with my entire career here.

Granted, I’ve got lots of main streets that I have a connection with in our newspaper’s coverage area, but Cheney has been the Main Street where our offices have been located during much of our three decades in operation.

My day started with an interview with a business owner down the street, Monte Viner of Cheney Electric, who I needed to talk to for a story. He was in a hurry, and had another appointment he had to leave for in 10 minutes.

“That’s all I need,” I said, pulling up a chair so I could sit down. And sure enough, I got the information I needed in just those 10 minutes.

Had I not had such a long relationship with Monte, I might have needed a half hour for our interview. Instead, I can rely on 10 minutes of fresh information and 30 years of history when it comes

From the Editor’s Files

Paul Rhodes | Publisher & Editor

time to write this story.

Just a few minutes later, another long-time Cheney business owner, Mike Farrell, showed up at my office. He was delivering a car that I’m trying to get fixed up and into regular service so I can stop putting so many miles on my pickup truck these days.

Mike had done some really nice bodywork on this car, and she looks like a shiny new nickel. He even helped me deliver the car up the street to Lubbers Ford for some mechanical work, and then I gave him a ride back to his shop in my truck.

Seriously…where else but a small town with long-time relationships would this happen? And with no expectations?

Another benefit of longtime relationships is the likely chance that during that time, something

pretty memorable has happened. Mike and I had one of those moments when we were visiting Tuesday morning.

In the three decades we’ve known each other, he’s worked on my vehicles, my business’ vehicles, and my kids’ vehicles.

Years ago, there was a strange-but-true incident that happened pretty much like this: My youngest daughter Katie had gotten into her Aunt Kate’s car to go somewhere, while Kate was visiting us. Of course, the first thing Katie did was bang up her aunt’s car on a fence post in our yard.

We traded vehicles with Kate, and I took it to Farrell’s Body Shop so Mike could fix it. He got right on it, and a few days later it was as good as new.

My son Bill had dropped me off to get the car, and as I backed onto the street, I could hear him yelling at me to get my attention.

Rather than rolling down the car window, I opened the car door, and much to my chagrin, Bill had done the same as he was hollering at me.

I no longer remember what the verbal exchange was supposed to be, and

that doesn’t really matter.

What happened next was horrifying in the moment…and hilarious 20 years later.

Bill was driving my truck, now with the door open. I was backing up my sister-in-law’s car, also with the door open. In perfect synchronization, my truck’s door caught my sister-inlaw’s car door, and all but ripped it off the car.

Bill just looked at me in shock, and I turned to look over at the body shop, where Mike Farrell had just finished repairing the car. Mike, who was standing in the doorway, had witnessed everything, and was just shaking his head.

“Just pull her back in,” Mike instructed. And soon enough, he went to work repairing the badly damaged car door.

Mike and I – and some of my staff members who had never heard that story – got a good laugh over that memory Tuesday morning.

“He’s a steady customer,” Mike said as we walked out the door to deliver my car to the mechanic’s shop.

Steady customers make for long-time business associates, and I wouldn’t trade those relationships for anything.

Should you prepay your funeral?

Dear Savvy Senior, My wife and I have been thinking about preplanning our funerals now so our kids won’t have to later, but we would like to find out if it’s a good idea to prepay. What can you tell us?

Living on a Budget

Dear Living, Planning your funerals in advance is definitely a smart move. Not only does it give you and your wife time to make a thoughtful decision on the type of service you want, it also allows you to shop around to find a good funeral provider, and it will spare your family members the burden of making these decisions at an emotional time.

But preplanning a funeral doesn’t mean you have to prepay too. In fact, the Funeral Consumer Alliance, a national nonprofit funeral consumer protection organization, doesn’t recommend it unless you need to spend down your financial resources so you can qualify for Medicaid. Here’s what you should know.

Most funeral homes today offer what is known as “preneed plans,” which allow you to prearrange

Savvy Senior

Jim Miller | Columnist

for the type of funeral services you want and prepay with a lump sum or through installments. The funeral home either puts your money in a trust fund with the payout triggered by your death or buys an insurance policy naming itself as the beneficiary.

If you’re interested in this route, make sure you’re being guaranteed the services you specify at the contracted price. Some contracts call for additional payments for final expense funding, which means that if the funeral home’s charges increase between the time you sign up and the time you sign off, somebody will have to pay the difference.

Here are some additional questions you should ask before committing: • Can you cancel the contract and get a full

refund if you change your mind?

• Will your money earn interest? If so, how much?

Who gets it?

• If there is an insurance policy involved, is there a waiting period before it takes effect? How long?

• Are the prices locked in or will an additional payment be required at the time of death?

• Are you protected if the funeral home goes out of business or if it’s bought out by another company?

• What happens if you move? Can the plan be transferred to another funeral home in a different state?

• If there’s money left over after your funeral, will your heirs get it, or does the home keep it?

If you decide to prepay, be sure to get all the details of the agreement in writing and give copies to your family so they know what’s expected. If your family isn’t aware that you’ve made plans, your wishes may not be carried out.

And if family members don’t know that you’ve prepaid the funeral costs, they could end up paying for the same arrangements.

While prepaying your

Answers

funerals may seem like a convenient way to go, from a financial point of view, there are better options available.

For example, if you have a life insurance policy, many policies will pay a lump sum when you die to your beneficiaries to be used for your funeral expenses. The payment is made soon after you die and doesn’t have to go through probate.

Or you could set up a payable-on-death (or POD) account at your bank or credit union, naming the person you want to handle your arrangements as the beneficiary. POD accounts also are called Totten Trusts. With this type of account, you maintain control of your money, so you can tap the funds in an emergency, collect the interest and change the beneficiary. When you die, your beneficiary collects the balance without the delay of probate.

Power failure highlights failure of powers that be A couple of recent events show our country is in real trouble because we haven’t planned intelligently for a transition to all-electric power and because our entire information network apparently has grown up without necessary safeguards.

In our rush for clean, sustainable power, we’ve built wind towers and solar farms galore, but we haven’t invested in enough backup power to protect us from the day the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow.

In Kansas, the very utilities that liked to brag about how much wind power they had harnessed led the pack when rolling blackouts were all that prevented the entire Midwest power grid from collapsing.

And if that had happened, we were not far away from a national collapse.

We’re not saying the nation should stop its race to eliminate fossil fuels and convert to electric vehicles. We are saying that unless we plan properly for regular and backup power to supply a world that will depend more and more on this fragile power grid, we are going to find ourselves in real trouble.

Last month’s arctic outbreak showed us that.

Electric cars, electric trucks, electric trains, electric appliances and electric computers won’t run without power. The danger of a world that will not run is real. And, like it or not, backup power – for the foreseeable future – will come from natural gas, fuel oil and other sources not spoken of in polite society.

There will have to be some compromises to keep it going. It’s just that simple. Green goals aside, we can’t continue to build a world where

Guest Column Steve Haynes Nor’West Newspapers

it’s easy to pull the plug.

And that might happen.

The revelation that Russian agents managed to penetrate government computers, from the Pentagon to the Department of Agriculture, and business systems of all types and sizes, from major corporations on down, should chill us.

The computer world that sustains us, that ties us together and makes everything go, is as vulnerable as the power grid, it seems. So far, there’s no evidence our enemies have set up the means to cripple America, but they penetrated enough of our vast information grid to do just that. Whenever they felt like it.

The world today runs through “the cloud,” an ill-defined, distributed network of servers and processors tied together by the Internet. Corporations store their files, from trade secrets to finance, in “the cloud.” Government agencies likewise.

And in network-tracking software that “everybody” uses, the Russian intelligence corps apparently found a key that gave them access to it all.

Would they, or the Chinese, or some terrorist alliance, take advantage of that?

To believe otherwise is naive. We live in a dangerous world.

Now, before it’s too late, would be a good time to stop and take account of our vulnerabilities. Then we must give at least as much attention to protecting our systems as we have to climate change and the rush to connect everything to one wire, one server farm and one cloud.

If we don’t, we will suffer far worse than we’ve seen this winter. Far worse.

Huge casserole will make you say, “Cheese, Louise!”

Spice Up Your Life

Lindsey Young

As the extremely proud aunt of a fantastic 3-yearold, I have been around for quite a few meals of macaroni and cheese the past several years.

I definitely can’t argue with her taste in good food. Joey makes fun of me for ordering mac and cheese regularly, and while my niece’s dish of choice is generally a cup of the single-serving microwaveable kind, I tend to opt for a more grown up version.

After I recently saw a recipe online for a batch that claimed to be the “world’s best” and featured three types of cheese, I decided to forgo any boxes of Kraft and try my own version from scratch.

I will warn you, before we even launch into

this, that this makes an absolutely huge dish of macaroni and cheese. I would highly recommend halving or even quartering the recipe if you aren’t feeding a crowd or don’t want a lot of leftovers.

The recipe I used comes from the blog “Mom on Timeout.” You can find the original post at https://www.momontimeout.com/best-homemade-baked-mac-andcheese-recipe/. I ended up adding extra pasta to my version, because it was way too soupy for my tastes. I also added garlic powder and extra paprika.

Over-the-Top Macaroni and Cheese Ingredients 24 ounces elbow macaroni, cooked al dente 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 6 tablespoons butter 1/3 cup flour 3 cups milk 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1 teaspoon garlic powder salt and pepper, to taste 4 cups sharp cheddar, shredded 2 cups gruyere, shredded 1 1/2 cups panko crumbs 4 tablespoons butter, melted 1/2 cup parmesan, shredded 1/2 teaspoon paprika Directions Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a three- or four-quart baking dish with cooking spray.

While the pasta cooks, combine the shredded cheddar and Gruyere in a large bowl and set it aside.

When the pasta is finished and drained, add it to another bowl and drizzle it with the olive oil and mix to combine. Set it aside.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt six tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and continue to stir for one minute. Whisk in the milk and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth. Continue stirring regularly until small bubbles start to form on the surface. Whisk in the salt, pepper and garlic powder and continue cooking, stirring regularly, for about two more minutes. Reserve two cups of the combined cheddar and gruyere, and add the rest to the pot, a handful at a time, whisking in between additions until the sauce is smooth. Once all of the cheese is melted into the sauce, add the pasta.

Stir to fully coat the pasta and dump half of it into the prepared baking dish.

Add the rest of the cheddar and gruyere in an even layer and then top with the rest of the macaroni mixture.

In a bowl, combine the panko, parmesan, four tablespoons melted butter and paprika, and stir until all of the bread crumbs are moistened.

Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture on the top of the dish and bake for 30 minutes or until the topping is browned and the cheese is bubbling.

This was so rich and really delicious, and while gruyere is not a cheap cheese to buy, it really did add some complex flavors I wouldn’t have been able to get with just the sharp

This over-the-top version of macaroni and cheese makes a huge amount of the creamy, decadent dish.

cheddar.

Two things I would add as tips are, first, you might want to bake this on a baking sheet in case it spills over. My baking dish was just over three quarts in size, and I could barely fit the entire batch into it.

Second, if you want the best results, shred the cheddar and gruyere yourself. Pre-packaged shredded cheese often doesn’t melt as easily because of

additives put in to keep it from clumping together.

I was amazed at the size of this batch of macaroni and cheese by the time I was done. I ended up giving away quite a few helpings so that it would all get eaten.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to enjoy this one with my niece. We’ll have to have a mac and cheese date sometime soon; although, I suspect that my

use of “fancy” cheese won’t impress her too much and with her 3-year-old appetite, we’re bound to have a lot of leftovers.
