The Summerball Showdown held a news conference in Wichita last week to announce its charity for this summer’s baseball tournament in Goddard. In addition, the first eight teams in the field were announced. The SummerBall Showdown was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity, and this year’s tournament will benefit the military through the Military Wardogs baseball team and Operation Mutt 22. The WarDogs are a team of internationally active and former active military members who will be part of the field at the SummerBall Showdown. With the assistance and cooperation of the SummerBall Showdown and its sponsors, the Wardogs and Operation Mutt 22 will present a trained service dog to a US military veteran and raise money to assist veterans with PTSD and other mental health related challenges. Trained service dogs can cost as much as $10,000 and there can be up to a five-year waiting period. The Wardogs will have a ceremony at their game in the SummerBall Showdown on Aug. 6 to donate a service dog to a deserving vet. The SummerBall Showdown will provide free tickets to all active and former military and first responders (police, sheriff, highway patrol, fire department, EMS) and their families for the night and will donate $2 for every paid ticket. They also will collect donations throughout the event and have a 50/50 raffle each night, with half of the proceeds going to the Wardogs and Mutt 22 and 50 percent to the winning fan.
HAYSVILLE – The Haysville City Council got a firsthand look Monday at the result of action taken by the 2021 Kansas Legislature and its impact on city budgets. The legislature passed a bill that requires cities to pursue “revenue neutral” budgets and if a proposed budget exceeds that neutrality, the city must hold a public hearing about its proposed increase. For Haysville, that means the city cannot take full advantage of increases to the property valuation. The city’s valuation increased by $3.7 million from 2021 to 2022. The city decided, however, to incorporate the value of new construction and renovations into next year’s budget. That will effectively increase the city’s budget by just more than $31,000. The city’s mill levy in 2021 was 47.5 mills. The proposed mill levy for 2022 is a lower mill rate – 45.5 mills – that will still add that $31,000 to the city’s total funds. The revenue neutral rate for mills for 2022 is 45.056. A plus for property owners is that they likely will see their out-of-pocket taxes go down in 2022. For example, the owner of a $150,000 home will pay about

Navy veteran Ken Bower was at last week’s SummerBall Showdown news conference with his service dog, Keno, a Siberian husky. Bower is a survivor of the Oct. 12, 2000, bombing of the USS Cole, which was attacked in Aden Harbor in Yemen. The suicide attack killed 17 service members, and is considered a precursor of the 9/11 attacks on U.S. soil.
WICHITA – Last week, Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly announced that six expansion and modernization highway projects in south central Kansas – totaling more than $129 million in investments – have been committed to construction as part of the Kelly Administration’s bipartisan transportation plan. Similar announcements were made in other parts of Kansas. “These six highway improvement projects will enhance accessibility and road safety to recruit new businesses and families to south central Kansas,” Kelly said. “Since day one, we’ve honored our commitment to ending the practice of using infrastructure dollars for projects they were never meant for – and instead use these dollars to directly fix our roads, bridges, and expand broadband access. (This) announcement is further proof that our commitment to good stewardship of these funds is benefitting our communities, taxpayers, and businesses.”

Dear Teri, If your husband is a loud snorer who wakes himself up during sleep, he probably needs to be tested for sleep apnea, a dangerous disorder that affects more than 22 million Americans, but often goes undiagnosed. Sleep apnea is a disorder that causes a person to stop breathing during sleep, hundreds of times during the night, for 10 seconds or more at a time. Left untreated, it can cause extreme daytime sleepiness, as well as a host of serious health conditions like high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, diabetes and dementia. In fact, it’s estimated that every year, around 38,000 Americans die in their sleep from a heart attack or stroke because of sleep apnea. But the good news is that sleep apnea is very treatable and most insurance companies, including

Medicare, cover it. There are three types of sleep apnea: obstructive, central and mixed. Of the three, obstructive sleep apnea (or OSA) is by far the most common and occurs when the throat muscles relax during sleep, blocking the airway. While anyone can have it, sleep apnea is most common in people who are overweight, male, middle-aged and older. For women, the risk increases after menopause. The symptoms include loud snoring (however not everyone who snores has apnea), long pauses of breathing, gasping or choking during sleep and daytime drowsiness. But because most of these symptoms happen during sleep, most people don’t recognize them. It’s usually the person they’re sleeping

trick, mild cases of sleep apnea may respond to oral devices that fit into the mouth like a removable mouth guard or retainer. These devices work by positioning the lower jaw slightly forward to keep the airway open during sleep. Another noninvasive treatment option to consider is the new FDA approved eXciteOSA device (eXciteOSA.com). This treats sleep apnea and snoring by improving tongue muscle function by delivering electrical stimulation to the tongue through a mouthpiece that’s worn for just 20 minutes during the day. If none of these options work, the most effective and commonly prescribed treatment for OBA is a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device. This involves sleeping with a snorkel-like mask that’s hooked up to a machine that gently blows air up the nose to keep the passages open. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

with who notices it. To help you get a handle on your husband’s problem, the American Sleep Apnea Association has several diagnostic tests he can take at SleepApnea. org/treat – click on “Test Yourself.” If the screening indicates that he may have sleep apnea, make an appointment with his doctor or a sleep specialist who will probably recommend an overnight diagnostic sleep test called polysomnography, which can take place at a sleep center lab (see SleepEducation.com), or at home using a portable device. Your husband is at greater risk for sleep apnea if he’s overweight, smokes, and/or consumes excessive amounts of alcohol. Excess weight, especially around the neck, puts pressure on the airway, which can cause it to collapse. Smoking can increase the amount of inflammation and fluid retention in the upper airway. And alcohol and sleeping pills can relax the muscles in the back of his throat, interfering with breathing. Addressing these issues, if necessary, is usually the first line of treatment. If that doesn’t do the

Hiebert moves on from Cheney High after 33 years
By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com CHENEY – “The stars kind of aligned.” That is how longtime teacher and coach Tim Hiebert described his decision to leave Cheney High School after 33 years with the school. Hiebert said that he was not looking to leave, but an opportunity arose to be a colleague with his oldest son, William, at Kapaun-Mt. Carmel Catholic High School in Wichita. Hiebert will teach and coach the sophomore boys basketball team. “This might be the time to do it. I want to coach and teach with him,” Hiebert said. He hopes to be able to continue coaching golf at Cheney High School, and he will continue to live in Cheney. Hiebert’s career began at Centre High School, a rural school located between Marion and Herington. It was there that he first worked with another longtime educator, Jim

classes – freshman English and junior English. For the past 10 years, he also has handled prepping students for the ACT test. As a coach, Hiebert spent more than 20 years as a basketball coach. He has been the head boys golf coach since 1999, and took on the girls’ team last fall. He also spent three
years as a football coach. It was an adjustment to coach the girls’ team after so many years coaching boys’ teams, he said. “Sometime I’ll have to write a book about coaching boys and girls. It’s night and day,” he said. His boys’ golf teams chased several State titles, but never quite got the

If Hiebert comes back as golf coach next year, things look good for a title. The Cardinals return all four of their top golfers from the 2021 squad. Working with young people has been the best part of teaching. “They’re emotional. They’re learning about life, about all kinds of things. Many are wideopen books. They make it worthwhile,” he said. “At the end of day, you ask, ‘Did I make a different in someone’s life?’ Maybe.” Hiebert taught the children of many former students, and was beginning to see the third generation of families. “When you taught their parents, it’s interesting,” he said. From one generation to the next, one thing remained the same. “We have great kids in

Blue ribbons at Sedgwick County Fair are a family affair By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
CHENEY – Winning blue ribbons in the Sedgwick County Fair Open Class competitions is a pretty regular occurrence for Amanda Casper. Her children also are regularly blue-ribbon winners. “My kids and I have done Open Class for five or six years,” she said. Most of their entries are in the arts and crafts categories. “We’re a pretty artistic family, so we’ve won a ribbon or two.” Casper entered just one thing this year – folded and cut book art. It is an art form where books are turned into three-dimensional paper art. She learned how to do folded book art from a class at the Cheney Public Library about 2-1/2 years ago. Online instruc-
tion taught her how to cut pages. “It’s pretty intricate. You have to measure each page,” said Casper, a Garden Plain native. “It satisfies the OCD I can’t satisfy with seven kids in my house.” Casper has always been artistic. She began playing the piano at age 2. These days, she creates wooden signs. Sometimes she buys the wood for the signs, and at other times she uses found wood. She said her husband is good at locating pieces for her. One of her most recent creations was a Father’s Day gift for her dad. It reads, “An old bear lives here with his sweet honey.” She does the signs by hand. Despite her artistic flair, Casper did not enter Fair competitions as a child. It’s something she has only done since become a mother. Casper was not the big winner
in her home this year, however, Her daughter, Ellie, who is nearly 13, won blue ribbons on six of her seven entries. She also earned a red. Open Class ribbons are not the same as 4-H ribbons. Only three ribbons are awarded in each Open Class category – a blue, red or white for first, second or third place. In 4-H, purple is better than a blue, and ribbons are earned based on quality. All contestants could, in theory, win purple. Or all could do no better than a white. Casper’s son, Gregory, age 3, also won a blue ribbon for a marker drawing of a three-headed dinosaur. For Casper, art is not just a summertime activity for the Fair. It’s also a home business. You can learn more online at www. facebook.com/foldjitsu.

Rooster wins overall grand champion on second try
By Michelle Leidy-Franklin TSnews mfranklin@tsnews.com
CLEARWATER – The Bullard family from the Clearwater Ninnescah Valley 4-H club secured multiple wins at the 4-H and Sedgwick County Fair. They live on a small family farm outside of Clearwater and joined 4-H for the comradery and desire to make memories together. Fifteen-year-old Lucas Bullard won overall grand champion for his Langshan Rooster during the Sedgwick County Fair. He won
both the 4-H and open class grand champion. The Langshan rooster is a black bird with a red comb and feathered feet. The breed is highly susceptible to mites and required work to maintain his appearance. “He was really surprised to win. The same bird did okay last year, but he took it home and worked on the bird’s appearance and it paid off,” said Lucas’s mother Wendy Bullard. Lucas also won best of breed for his white Silkie chicken. Lucas was unable to
attend the Fair as he had recently taken a job working for Lemolo Lake KOA campground in Oregon owned by a family friend. His family took the bird to the Fair for him and later informed him of his win. Twelve-year-old Daphne Bullard has been showing dairy goats for 5 years and meat goats for 2. She received the 4-H grand champion award in junior dairy for her Lamancha goat and a reserve grand champion for her Grade Lamancha Cross. Daphne also received a grand champion award in
intermediate showmanship with a dairy goat that allowed her to participate for the first time in the round robin event. Wendy says Daphne enjoys 4-H because it gives her the opportunity to be around other like-minded kids that have livestock and share similar hobbies and interests. Seven-year-old brother, Corbin, was not yet old enough to compete in the 4-H Fair so he entered his Langshan Rooster in the open class division. He won reserve grand champion for his bird.

Sumner County Commissioners show off bicentennial flag
The Sumner County commissioners, as part of the yearlong celebration during 2021, which is the 150th anniversary of the founding of Sumner County, have framed and displayed the bicentennial flag first flown over the courthouse during
the nation’s bicentennial celebration in 1976. When Congress and the President declared an additional five-year celebration of the United States Constitution and its judicial systems between 1987 and 1991, the white flag again flew
at the county courthouse in 1987 and 1990, when significant celebrations were held on the courthouse lawn. The framed flag has been mounted on the art deco aluminum millwork that graces the front facade of the courthouse. Bill Rhiley/Belle Plaine News
Pictured are Sumner County Commissioners Jim Newell (2nd District), Chairman Steve Warner (1st District) and John Cooney (3rd District) displaying a framed piece of local history, the flag that flew over the courthouse during the bicentennial celebration in 1976.

Clearwater gets job retention funds
Governor Laura Kelly has announced the third round of Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus Response Supplement (CDBG-CV) awards, distributing nearly $4 million to 25 Kansas communities to promote business retention for small businesses affected by the pandemic. The City of Clearwater is among the recipients, receiving an award of $150,000. “Kansas continues to experience record economic success, bringing in jobs and business investment at historic levels,” Governor Kelly said. “These grant funds will support that momentum by ensuring small Kansas businesses can maintain their workforce. We’ll continue to focus strategic investments that will create a stronger, more resilient economy to help Kansas businesses and families succeed.” CDBG-CV is admin-
istered by the Kansas Department of Commerce. The two previous grant rounds in this category awarded cities and counties with projects pertaining to economic development and meal programs. However, unlike previous rounds, these grants are available specifically to ensure job retention for Kansas businesses with
under 50 employees. Clearwater was the only city in Sedgwick County to receive money during this round of awards. Several Sumner County cities received money. Belle Plaine, Caldwell and Wellington all will receive $150,000, the same as Clearwater. Harper County also was awarded $150,000.

Garden Plain residents could vote on a sales tax in November By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
GARDEN PLAIN – Voters in Garden Plain could be asked whether they want to pay an extra 1 percent in sales tax for the betterment of the community. The Garden Plain City Council discussed the idea of a sales tax and a vote during the monthly meeting on July 7. City clerk Kim McCormick said she has contacted the Sedgwick County Election Office about putting the issue on the November ballot, but is waiting for an answer. The city also could consider a mail-in ballot, which is estimated to cost about $450.
Early estimates are that 1 percent sales tax would generate about $90,000 per year. The tax would be applied to items delivered in the city, such as those ordered from Amazon or Ebay. That money could be used for a number of projects. Possible uses discussed include street repair, lowering utility costs, building a swimming pool, or other projects. City officials said there seems to be some support already for the tax. “I’ve already talked to the owner of Fisher Lumber. He’s all for it,” Mayor Kevin Hammond said. McCormick said several older citizens told her they liked the idea, especially if
it could be used to lower utility costs. A pool also seems to have some degree of support. “I know there are a lot of people in town who would love it, kids and adults,” McCormick said. A pool would likely require a bond issue, and then the sales tax collections could be used to make the payments. She said El Dorado has a 1 percent sales tax. Half the money is for street repairs, and the rest goes for other projects. Haysville also has a 1 percent sales tax that funds street work and other projects. Council member Tracy Thul said he would prefer to see the issue on the November ballot rather than doing a mail-in vote.
Council members directed the staff to continue work for a possible November vote. Council members said the wording of the ballot issue – including information on how the money might be used – would be important for passage. In other business: • The Garden Plain City Council discussed a change to safety ordinances regarding privately-owned swimming pools. The city was asked to revise the ordinance that required fencing around a pool. The proposed change would allow for pool covers that meet ASTM International certification. There were questions about the details, and
so the item was tabled for additional research. The discussion followed a recommendation for change from the planning commission, which had taken up the issue in late May. The council is expected to address the issue again at its August meeting. • City council members accepted a five-year community improvement plan that was put together by city clerk Kim McCormick. The plan was adopted with minimal discussion. It does not lock the city into any specific projects, but instead is a planning tool that can be used to help budgeting and priorities. The plan was described as a “living document,”
meaning it can be adjusted at any time. • The city was presented with a proposed development agreement by Mike Long for the Trail Ridge addition, which is planned for behind Pretty Flowers Estates. The city will review the agreement before taking any action. The city engineering firm also will review it. • The council approved sending McCormick to the League of Kansas Municipalities conference in Topeka in October. • The council held follow-up discussions about the ongoing sidewalk construction along 295th Street West and regarding an easement encroachment problem.
City council votes to condemn Goddard property
By Nancy D. Borst TSnews
GODDARD – The Goddard City Council at its July 6 meeting took final action on a nuisance property that has been on the city’s radar for more than six months. The council voted unanimously to sign a resolution condemning the property at 101 N. Cedar. The action gives the property owner 14 days to pull a demolition permit and demolish the structure within 60 days. Failure to take this action will result in the city razing the property and putting a lien on the property for that cost. The city’s code en-
forcement officer first investigated the property in November 2020. A public hearing was held March 15, 2021 at which the property owner, who now lives out of state, said he had a buyer that would bring the property into compliance with his help. However, the council later was told that that deal had fallen through. The city reinspected the property April 29 and in mid-May, the council scheduled the July 6 public hearing to reconsider condemnation. The city has some options if it razes the property. A lien for the city’s expense would still leave the property in the current owner’s hands.
Commodity distribution is Saturday in Cheney
CHENEY – Commodity distribution will be held from 9 to 10:30 a.m. this Saturday, July 17. Distribution will take place at the Cheney Senior Center at 516 N. Main Street. Food commodities are distributed free to those who fall under the income threshold for assistance. New income guidelines have been implemented. Assistance is provided based on gross monthly income. To be eligible, a household of one person can earn no more than $1,396 monthly. The amount goes up based on household size: two people, $1,888; three people, $2,379; four people, $2,871; five people, $3,363; six people, $3,855; seven people, $4,347; eight people, $4,839. For each additional family member beyond eight people, the income threshold goes up $492. The Emergency Food Assistance Program is part of a larger county and state network that provides free food items for residents who qualify. For more information, contact Nancy Zerger at 316217-1512. All paperwork is kept confidential. If someone can’t make a distribution date, someone else can pick the food up for them that day. Those picking up commodities will be asked to stay in their vehicles rather than coming into the senior center. Volunteers are needed to help package boxes and deliver them to vehicles. Contact Zerger if you would like to help.

The city could file a lawsuit to foreclose on the property and force a sheriff ’s sale. Any proceeds from that sale would first be used to repay the city. The city also could pursue imminent domain to take possession of the property. Planning and zoning director Micah Scoggan told the council that action would require another public hearing. During the public comment portion of the meeting, a local business owner told the council he has contacted the current property owner and is interested in buying it to use for his business. That would require a rezoning, as the property is zoned
residential. The council also dealt with a request from the organizers of the Summer Ball Showdown baseball tournament to waive the city’s sound ordinance and allow fireworks on Aug. 6 and 7 at the tournament. The city agreed to both requests so the tournament can include concerts and fireworks displays on those two evenings. However, the council added a stipulation that both activities be finished by 11 p.m. The tournament will be held Aug. 4-8 at the Goddard Genesis Baseball diamonds and is expected to draw as many as 21,000 people over the five-day period.
Families can register online for monthly child tax credit Kansas families who normally aren’t required to file an income tax return are being encouraged to use a new online tool to quickly register for the expanded Child Tax Credit under the American Rescue Plan. The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service recently announced that the new Non-filer Sign-up Tool for people who did not file an income tax return for 2019 or 2020 and did not use the IRS Non-filers tool last year to register for Economic Impact Payments is now available through IRS.gov. “Businesses are
open, unemployment is back to pre-pandemic lows, and Kansas’ economy gets stronger every day – but we know that many families still need support,” Gov. Laura Kelly said. “I encourage all Kansans who qualify to use this new online tool to quickly and easily register for Child Tax Credit payments – and to spread the word about the new tool in their communities.” Additional information can be found online at https://home.treasury. gov/news/press-releases/ jy0227.

Area News Curled leaves on tomatoes are usually temporary
A frequent concern gardeners see in the summer months is curling tomato plant leaves. Along with the characteristic rolling of the sides of the leaves, the leaf may also increase in thickness and appear leathery. K-State horticulture expert Ward Upham explains why tomato plants undergo this rolling spectacle. “When the tomato plant grows vigorously in mild,
spring weather, top growth often exceeds root development,” he said. “As soon as the first few days of warm, dry summer weather hit, the plant ‘realizes’ it has a problem and tries to reduce its leaf area by rolling leaves.” Although unpleasant to look at, leaf rolling is a harmless, temporary condition. Within a week or so the plant will return to its normal condition.

Summer Collegiate Baseball
News Briefs
The Kansas Curve will stay busy over the next two weeks as they close out the Kansas Collegiate League Baseball regular season. As of Monday, the Curve were in fourth place in the five-team Jayhawk West division of the KCLB. However, only 2-1/2 games separate the second-place Dodge City A’s, the third-place Valley Center Mud Daubers, and the Curve. The Curve will spend some time in Wichita over the next week, with two games at the Rangers and three games at the Dirtbags before the Curve host the Dirtbags next Tuesday.
Three losses to the Great Bend Bat Cats dropped the Cheney Diamond Dawgs back into second, a half-game behind the Hutchinson Monarchs. Following Monday’s games, the Monarchs led the Sunflower Collegiate League with a 17-8 record, while the Dawgs stood at 17-9. Cheney will wrap up the regular season over the next eight games. The league title will be on the line, as the schedule includes five games against the Monarchs. The final game of the season is a non-league contest at the Wellington Heat.

Sumner County Fair fundraising event benefits American Diabetes Association The Sumner County Fair Association board has chosen the theme of “Take a Hike! - Diabetes” for the service/fundraising project at the 94th Sumner County Fair to be held Aug. 5-8, 2021, in Caldwell. This event will honor all survivors and victims of diabetes. Any individual or group can rent a $10 space and set up a place setting or exhibit honoring a person who has suffered from diabetes. The exhibit can include pictures, hobbies or anything that portrays who your person is or was, and what you want people to know about him or her. In addition, there will be a walk to raise money on Saturday morning, Aug. 7, beginning at 7 a.m. All participants are to meet on the west side of the Caldwell High School track. The fee for the walk is $25. Exercise plays such an important part in the quality of life for diabetics, so it makes sense to honor them this way. Money will be raised by space rental and walk fees, and all proceeds will be donated to the American Diabetes
Association. Donations will be welcomed and appreciated. The $10 rental fee/donations entitles you to a 24x30-inch space to honor your loved one. You may rent more than one space for the same person, or you may enter multiple place settings representing more loved ones. Use you imagination to capture your special diabetic’s interests and personality. Online registration is required for both the table space and the walk, and may be accessed through the Sumner County Fair’s Facebook page or website. The registration deadline is Friday, July 30. Table space rental will be due at the set-up, 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 5, or 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Friday, Aug. 6. Questions may be directed to Cassie at 620-845-6426. Every attempt to keep displays safe and secure will be exercised. The Sumner County Fair Association is not responsible for accidents or theft. This event is sponsored by Sumner County Economic Development.
Budget
Chief executive officer Will Black asked the council to take action to notify the county clerk that the city intends to exceed its revenue neutral rate and hold a public hearing at the Aug. 23 council meeting. The council took that action. Armstrong said he has not seen what other area cities are doing except for Clearwater, which he said chose to pursue all of its increased value in 2022. In other business, the council approved a bid from Cornejo & Sons, LLC for the paving improvements in the Sunset Fields Addition. The city received a Community Development Block Grant that will reimburse $342,000 of
From Page A1 $36 less in city taxes next year. But Mayor Bruce Armstrong pointed out one of the flaws in the Legislature’s thinking. The city’s library is funded by a flat mill levy, regardless of value. So in 2022, the library will get a $20,000 boost. If the city’s value continues to rise – and along with it the value of each mill – but the city is restrained by the revenue neutral rule, “the library is going to get all the money,” he noted. “See what the Legislature has done to us,” Armstrong told the council.
Highways From Page A1 These are the first IKE highway modernization and expansion projects KDOT is committing to construction. Previously, these projects were in the IKE development pipeline. The largest project announced involves the I-235 North Junction in Wichita that will alleviate congestion, upgrade 19 bridges within the area and replace the tight loop
ramp from K-96 to I-135 with a flyover. Other improvements include rehabilitation and adding shoulders to portions of U.S. 160 in Sumner County and K-42 in Sumner and Sedgwick counties, and extending existing passing lanes on portions of U.S. 50 in Harvey County as well as on a portion of U.S. 50 in Harvey and Marion counties. “This week we are announcing projects totally nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars as part of

the project cost. However, bids for the work came in much higher than anticipated. Public works director Tony Martinez said the higher costs came in mobilization and stormwater. He noted that an investigation revealed higher costs are affecting all construction in the current environment. Cornejo’s bid was $1,543,073.15. The engineer’s estimate was just more than $1 million. The cost originally was planned to be covered completely by city sales tax.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 06, 2021 Free school meals available for all students during 2021-2022 school year HAYSVILLE,KS — The National School Lunch Program Seamless Summer Option (SSO) waiver allows all Kansas students the option of free breakfast and lunch each school day during the 2021-2022 school year – ensuring students are fueled and ready to learn. The waiver allows the SSO to operate when school is open during the regular school year – through June 30, 2022. It is a continuation of a commitment to provide safe, healthy meals free of charge to children as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to threaten food and nutrition security of the most vulnerable – our students, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The waiver also will help schools continue to plan for a safe opening in the fall. For example, it will eliminate the need to collect meal payments. This speeds up the service of meals, which reduces contact and potential exposure to COVID-19. The USDA’s National School Lunch Program SSO is typically only available during the summer months. However, extending it allows for a strong emphasis on providing fruits and vegetables, milk and whole grains while allowing schools to serve the meals for free. Schools that choose the SSO option will receive higher-than-normal meal reimbursements for every meal they serve, which will support them in serving the most nutritious meals possible while managing increased costs associated with operational and supply chain challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The USDA covers the cost of the meals for all students. There is no need for families to fill out an application. Every meal that is served helps (name of school/district goes here) food service program financially and keeps local food service staff members employed. The free meals, which are safe, nutritious and delicious, help extend family food budgets, too. For more information, contact USD#261 Haysville Food Service Dept. 316-554-2219. In accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA.

Veterans honored with quilts By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
CLEARWATER – Nine local veterans were honored on Monday night with Quilts of Valor, which were presented by the Ole Sew and Sews, a local quilting group. Monday’s ceremony at First Baptist Church recognized nine local veterans. This was the seventh ceremony; last year’s event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Recipients included Lee Harp, Bob Cumming, Phil Wise, Steven Smothers, Gary Freed, Earl Brockman, Damon Kraft, Mike Hasty, Dennis Gladfleter and Don Watt. Presenting the quilts is often an emotional moment, for the quilters and for the veterans. “Honestly, it’s amazing,” said Becky Schievelbein of the Ole Sew and Sews. “When we gave them to
the Vietnam veterans, it’s hard to describe.” She said those moments were special, because so many returning Vietnam veterans were treated harshly upon their return to America. Tears were shed. “It fills your heart. We love doing it,” Schievelbein said. Over the years, the Old Sew and Sews have been able to present quilts to most local veterans who served in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Schievelbein said the Ole Sew and Sews needs the public’s help in identifying a veteran who has not been given a quilt. Even though the group has focused on mostly older veterans, Schievelbein said the quilts are for veterans of any age, including those who have recently served in Iraq or Afghanistan. She said the group has not presented very many
quilts to women, either. If you know a veteran, regardless of gender or when they served, Schievelbein asks you to call her at 620-545-7447. The Quilts of Valor are available for any person in the USD 264 school district boundaries.
Similar groups are operating in Conway Springs and Argonia. There are seven members in the Ole Sew and Sews who do much of the work. The quilting is donated by J.B. Stitchery in Wichita.

Busy Haysville volunteer named citizen of the year By Michelle Leidy-Franklin
TSnews mfranklin@tsnews.com
HAYSVILLE – David Carrell was named Haysville’s citizen of the year during Independence Day celebrations held on July 4. Just before the evening concert, Mayor Bruce Armstrong gave Carrell a plaque commemorating the award. Carrell is very active in the Haysville community. He is heavily involved with local Masonic Lodge #112 and the Haysville United Methodist Church. “I do it because that’s the way I was raised,” said Carrell. “I was taught the importance of community service.” In 1978, Carrell began a 40-year career in teaching. He still does some adjunct work for Butler County Community College. His background in teaching has translated well into his volunteer
work now that he is mostly retired. He helps teach children in the HUMC vacation Bible school held in the summer. He also has a half acre garden that he uses to help teach gardening classes to Boy Scouts. His work with food doesn’t end in the garden. Carrell can most often be seen volunteering his time in the kitchen. He likes to cook and he often uses his talent in his volunteer work. The food for the annual Christmas soup feed is primarily cooked by Carrell. He makes all of the soups, including family favorites like chicken and noodles and chili. But he also puts in the effort to try something new. Every year he starts a month ahead of time trying new recipes until he gets the menu just right. He also bakes 120 cinnamon rolls to accompany
the chili. “You have to have cinnamon rolls to go with the chili,” said Carrell. Carrell also helps cook for other fundraisers throughout the year for Masonic groups, including Eastern Star and Rainbow Girls. He helps with weekly Wednesday night meals for the HUMC. He has also helped make meals for families over Christmas and buying groceries for their holiday meals. Carrell was nominated for the Haysville volunteer of the year by Billy Griffin from Masonic Lodge 112 where Carrell also serves as secretary. “He is always on the go,” wrote Griffin on the nomination form. Carrell said working in the community is just a part of who he is and the way he was taught to give back. He has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.

Red Power Nutrition sets up store front in Conway Springs By Michelle Leidy-Franklin TSnews mfranklin@tsnews.com CONWAY SPRINGS – Red Power Nutrition now has a store-front location in Conway Springs. Located in the same building as the Conway Springs Rural Health Center, 111 W. Spring Avenue Suite B is where customers can now pick up energy teas and protein meal replacement shakes. Owner April Zoglmann decided to make the leap from pop-up shops to a physical location in her hometown in June. “I had several of my customers try to get me to open one in Conway, but I wasn’t too sure if they could support one like the Wichita clubs,” said Zoglmann. “After seeing how many people were driving to Wichita for their shakes and teas, I decided to take the leap.” Zoglmann has been a Herbalife dealer for about three years, mostly selling from her home
and helping at 316 Nutrition in Wichita. She has also helped her up-line distributor with setting up a pop-up in Clearwater on Fridays. Opening a shop for full time hours was going to require help. Zoglmann has worked third shift at the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center for 15 years, coached volleyball at USD 356 and is the mother of 11 year old twins. She hired three employees to help her run the shop. “I wasn’t sure how I was going to make it all work,” said Zoglmann. “Luckily I found some great people to help me on this journey. My husband was on board, too, and helped with all the preparation.” Her path to business ownership began because of her busy lifestyle. It prompted her to look for something to help boost her energy levels so she could keep up. “I was introduced to the teas and I was hooked,” said Zoglmann.
She also found the sugar-free products were good for her son who had recently been diagnosed with diabetes. “He was recently diagnosed with celiac as well, and we have options for that as well as those that are lactose intolerant,” said Zoglmann. Zoglmann spent time setting up a bar for blending up teas and shakes inside her space on Spring Avenue. A soft opening date of June 25 was well received along with her grand opening on July 9. “The community has been overwhelmingly supportive. I love working in the club to see all the beautiful faces of Conway Springs. I have so much in store for this club, and I hope that Conway will support it even more,” said Zoglmann. Red Power Nutrition will be open on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6 a.m. until 3 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Battle begins to save sweet corn from earworm By Taylor Jamison K-State Extension

The township property was sold to the city of Cheney at the public sale Saturday morning. The lots will be used for the new $10,000 city hall. 80 Years Ago The following enjoyed a picnic at the John Helton grove on the Fourth: Albert Leis and family; John Helton and family; Joe Kruse and family and Leonard Helton family. 70 Years Ago The Youth Fellowship Group of the Evangelical and Reformed church of Cheney met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Zissel Sunday.

The All Star team includes: Pitcher- Mike Girrens, Garden Plain. 40 Years Ago Two weeks, approximately, is the time left before Cable TV sales personnel will begin asking Goddard residents if they wish to sign up for this special. 30 Years Ago Main Street, Goddard is home to two new businesses. Eric and Brenda Shepler are the owners of the Country Kitchen, formerly Fuzz’s Café. The Paul Mesner puppets are making their way across Kansas celebrating the “Feed Your Mind” library theme of this summer with their rendition of Rapunzel.
20 Years Ago CAFFA (Concerned Adults for Future Adults), a group of community people formed as a result of Cheney’s May 2000 town hall meeting focused on addressing community youth needs, are setting up shop at the Sedgwick County Fair. The Pelz family of Clearwater was asked to join the Yukon Relay for Life in Yukon, Okla. They were asked by the Petite Academy Preschool to join their team and help bring a little of the Clearwater Relay for Life spirit to Yukon. 10 Years Ago The Clearwater swim team competed in the third meet of the year in Argonia Saturday. The team finished in first place and will compete in the Clearwater League Meet this weekend. For Garden Plain’s Justina Rausch, singing in front of the smaller crowd at last week’s Sedgwick County Fair was a little more intimidating than the larger crowds she’s grown accustomed to. From now through the end of August, Tanganyika Wildlife Park will extend its hours from 9 a.m. to dusk every Wednesday.
Corn From Page B2 moths usually appear,” he said. Additionally, adult earworm moths prefer juicy silks instead of dry silks, so insecticide only needs to be applied the first two weeks of silking. What insecticides are most effective? Upham recommends cyfluthrin for home gardeners. If an organic insecticide is preferred, Spinosad is another option. Another organic choice is mineral oil or other light horticultural oils. To treat the corn, fill a medicine dropper one-half to three-quar-
ters full of the oil, then apply inside the silk end of the corn’s ear – where the tips of the silk begin to wilt and brown. Upham said the oil will kill any earworms present and prevent more earworms from entering the ear. However, he said, take note that applying oil before the silk has begun to brown may lead to partially unfilled ears, as the oil will interfere with pollination.

Commissioners must clean up EMS mess
A new series of stories in the Wichita Eagle shines light on multiple issues within Sedgwick County EMS, and these issues could be putting the safety of you and your loved ones at risk. According to the Eagle’s reporting, EMS is facing a shortage of paramedics. There appears to be no shortage of finger-pointing, as various parties blame each other but nobody is taking responsibility yet for rectifying the situation. An outside law firm is currently conducting a review, and much of the county commission is waiting for the results. Commissioner Jim Howell is ready to put EMS director Dr. John Gallagher on administrative leave, and the rest of the council should get on board with their colleague. Last year, TSnews reported on the removal of the EMS unit that was based at the Lake Afton fire station. During interviews with various local leaders, a picture of mismanagement and poor communication became evident. Because of cost restraints, the City of Clearwater shut down its local ambulance service. Discussions with various county officials created the impression that the county would post an ambulance in the city, at least 12-hours a day. That would have been the same amount of time that that ambulance was staffed at Lake Afton. But that never happened. Instead, one-person emergency response vehicles are now stationed at Cheney and Clearwater. While these employees can respond to emergencies, there are unable to transport victims. That slows down response times. The county repeatedly would inform one city about meetings before this change, but not the other. The cities stayed informed by sharing what they learned. The county never included Garden Plain about any of the changes. Garden Plain city leaders first learned about the loss of the EMS nearest them when contacted by TSnews. At the time, TSnews was told by local city leaders that staffing issues at EMS seemed to be the driving force behind the changes. The Eagle’s reporting seems to back up what we heard concerning staff issues, miscommunication
Random Thoughts
Travis Mounts | Managing Editor
and general disarray. Response times are a major issue. Under Gallagher, Sedgwick County EMS has stopped reporting response times. And the formula they use understates how long it actually takes from a call to 911 to EMS personnel beginning care. This information is critical to proper oversight, and should be readily accessible to taxpayers. Nobody in county government – not the commissioners and not the employees at the top of the leadership structure – should be surprised at the current situation. According to the Eagle, there have been warning signs since before Gallagher was promoted to lead EMS. The Eagle’s reporting states that Dennis and fellow commissioner Pete Meitzner are doubtful problems even exist. Staffing is an issue for emergency service departments across the country, but evidence indicates that Sedgwick County’s problems go much deeper. EMS employees told the Eagle they feel they cannot approach some of the commissioners for help. Meitzner reportedly threw away a petition signed by nearly half the EMS department. Dennis reportedly refused to listen to audio of two closed-door meetings because he was not invited to attend. If true, the actions by Dennis and Meitzner are inexcusable. They are being defensive at a time when they need to be listening to all constituents with open minds. Anything less is a dereliction of duty, and could be putting citizens lives at risk. The reporting done by the Wichita Eagle appears solid. Does it make county leaders uncomfortable? Sure. Part of the job of newspapers is to hold our public leaders accountable. Now it is time for county commissioners to do their job, and hold the top people in county management and EMS accountable, as well.

‘Back in the Saddle Again’
It was the first night of the Sedgwick County Fair, and someone who knows me, and knows the time that I put into the Fair – both as a reporter and as a volunteer – asked me sarcastically if I was ready for the Fair to be over. “No,” I replied. “That was last week.” Part of me was returning the joke, and part of me was sharing a kernel of truth. The week before the Fair, and the week before that, and the week before that, are always grueling for me and my newspaper staff. We’re up to our elbows putting out the Sedgwick County Fair Guide and getting it distributed to 30,000 homes around the area, and I’m up to my neck with the volunteer work I do to help out the Fair. Within weeks after taking over the newspaper operation in Cheney, we were approached about taking over the guide to the annual Sedgwick County Fair. It was just a few minutes later, as I recall, that we also were asked to volunteer with the annual Fair. Those requests came
From the Editor’s Files
Paul Rhodes | Publisher & Editor
from John Mies, who worked tirelessly for many years as the Fair’s resident agent. John knew the value of the work he and other volunteers were putting into the Fair, and he knew when it was time to turn things over to the next generation of volunteers. Community service continues to be the rent that business owners pay for the privilege of doing business on Main Street. My first project with the Fair was the Button Contest. I ran it with another volunteer for a couple of years, and then took it over myself. It was finally discontinued a few years ago. Times-Sentinel Newspapers makes and donates the maps to the fairgrounds that are free for visitors to pick up. And also these days, I help keep the Open Class competition of the Fair filled with superintendents.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot…I also round up a crew of volunteers to clean out the Open Class barn on the fairgrounds every year right before the Fair. We try to get it clean enough that the superintendents can come in, do some finishing touches and be ready for folks to enter their treasures at the Fair. And, Kim and I also help run the Fine Arts Department for Open Class. After all the other work, seeing the smiles on the faces of youngsters and adults alike as they entered their pieces of art was a great reward for our efforts. Over the course of the Fair’s four-day run, Kim and I spent time on the fairgrounds every day – much of it volunteering, and some of it just having fun at the Fair. And, we ran into so many other volunteers, mostly all smiling, who help make this event a success every year. And I tip my hat to all community volunteers around our area because they are the backbone of festivals and celebrations that bring vibrancy to our towns. As we look ahead to next year, Kim and I thought about also volunteering our time as pie
judges…and we even put in a little time practicing this year. But that would require tasting a slice of pie and then tossing the rest before moving on to the next sample, and neither of us felt we could shoulder that kind of willpower. Instead, we’ll be back again next year, when a year’s time between fairs will seem like nothing. We’ll clean out the Open Class barn, I’ll make sure our superintendents and judges are lined up again, and we’ll help with the Fine Arts Department. And we’ll eat pie, a whole slice at a time, just because we can. Editor’s note: Community events around our area are always looking for volunteers, and sometimes people are looking for ways to help and just don’t know who to contact. For the Sedgwick County Fair, contact Fair Board president Bret Albers at 316761-1418; for the Sumner County Fair contact Fair Board secretary Toni Wolff at 620-863-2466. For other community events, like fall festivals and holiday celebrations, look for the event’s website or Facebook page. They’ll be glad you offered to help.

Try a spiced cake that’s perfect for your next par’tea’ Spice Up Your Life
Lindsey Young
As a general rule, I have no concept of how long it takes me to complete recipes. Poor Joey has had to wait until 8 or 9 p.m. on several occasions for me to complete a meal, because I was just sure I could finish it for a normal eating time. And he’s thrown up his hands at me staying up into the wee hours of the morning, baking pies for Thanksgiving or Christmas. You’d think I would learn. But I haven’t. So, when I decided to take a birthday cake for our friend when we were going over to play games at her house that evening, it would come as no surprise that I was hurriedly trying to finish it before rushing over for game night. Unfortunately, that meant my cake’s glaze looked atrocious. Fortunately, it still tasted amazing. The cake I made features the flavors of Earl Grey tea, and I found it on the “Tastemade” website. You can find the original post at https://www.tastemade. com/videos/earl-grey-teacakes/. I doubled the vanilla and changed some of the directions in my version.
Earl Grey Tea Cakes Cake Ingredients 1 cup milk (I used skim) 5 Earl Grey tea bags 14 tablespoons butter 1 cup sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla 3 eggs 2 cups flour zest of one small lemon 1 1/3 teaspoon baking powder Glaze Ingredients 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 2 tablespoons butter 3-4 tablespoons strong earl grey tea purple food coloring (optional) Directions Microwave the milk in a glass mug or bowl for 90 seconds. Place the five teabags into the milk, and cover it with aluminum foil. Let the milk sit, with the teabags, for at least 15 minutes, letting it cool to room temperature. Squeeze out the teabags into the milk and discard them. If some of your milk evaporated, top it off so you have one cup. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Prepare an eight-by-eight inch cake pan by spraying it with cooking spray and lining it with parchment paper. (If you want to remove it from the pan before serving. If not, just spray the pan.) Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla together for a few minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, and then add in the flour, lemon zest, baking powder and milk until everything is combined well. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and tap it on the counter a few times to flatten the batter out before placing in the oven for one hour or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. If removing the cake from the pan, let it cool for five minutes before inverting it and placing it on a wire rack. Either way, though, let the cake
The use of Earl Grey tea adds lots of complex spice flavor to this moist cake.
cool completely before glazing it. For the glaze, melt the butter and add it to the sugar and tea. Stir until the mixture is smooth. If there are lumps of butter that refuse to combine with the rest of the ingredients, microwave the mixture no more than 30 seconds at a time until it is smooth. Either cut the cake into even squares or leave it whole, and position it on a wire rack over a rimmed backing sheet. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake. Let the glaze set, and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
This cake was super delicious and very moist. I really wish I would have saved myself enough time to really make it as pretty as it should have been, but the flavor did not disappoint, and I’m lucky to have very
gracious friends who were more than happy to eat the whole thing. I do think I’ll make this cake again in the future. The flavors were deep and complex and felt just a little fancy. Plus, I always love a good spiced cake, and this one didn’t disappoint. I’d like to say that this was the recipe that finally taught me my lesson, but I’m sure I’ll be hurrying through another one soon. It turns out you can’t rush perfection—or even something sort of near to it.
