HAYSVILLE – The next two Campus Colts varsity football games won’t be played because of COVID-19.

Campus High School announced Monday afternoon that, due to a positive test and quarantining of close contacts, the Colts were cancelling this Friday’s road game at Maize South High School, and next week’s home game against Andover.

Other schools announced this week that they were dealing with coronavirus issues. Derby football started the week in quarantine. It was unsure if the Panthers would play their game this week as contact tracing was being conducted by Sedgwick County following two positive cases within the program. El Dorado’s boys soccer games through Oct. 2 have been postponed, and Winfield volleyball is suspended until further notice. In

Sedgwick County’s first Advanced Life Support (ALS) rapid response vehicle sits outside the emergency services vehicle in Clearwater.

The new vehicle has been in service for about two weeks. A similar one is slated to go into service in Cheney around Nov. 1.

County deploys rapid response vehicle

CLEARWATER – A new advanced life support (ALS) rapid response vehicle is now in operation in Clearwater.

The vehicle is part of Sedgwick County Emergency Medical Services, and is a new tool the county is using in responding to medical emergencies in more rural parts of the county. The one in Clearwater was first deployed on Friday, Sept. 11.

The county plans to deploy two of the vehicles initially as part of a new pilot programming. They will be staffed 12 hours per day, seven days per week. The personnel for these vehicles will come from the ambulance that had been based at Sedgwick County Fire Station 39, located on 263rd Street West just north of MacArthur Road, near Lake Afton. That unit was staffed 12 hours per day.

The Clearwater vehicle will be staffed from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Russell Leeds, assistant county manager for Sedgwick County,

said Cheney’s ALS rapid response vehicle is expected to be outfitted and in service around Nov. 1. Once that happens, EMS Post 17 at Lake Afton will be suspended, according to Leeds.

That unit has been staffed 12 hours a day, seven days week.

In both communities, local volunteers will continue to respond 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and will respond along side the county staff member when the ALS rapid response vehicle is in service.

Dr. John Gallagher, director of Sedgwick County EMS, previously told TSnews that the idea of a rapid response vehicle is new to this part of the country, but is in use elsewhere. State law requires an ambulance be staffed with two people, one to drive and one to tend to the patient.

“You can double the number of units going with an ALS response unit,” Gallagher said about the emergency rapid response vehicles.

In Cheney, there have been ongoing concerns about response times since the ambulance unit for western Sedgwick

County, formerly based on 247th Street West near U.S. Highway 54, moved into Goddard on 199th Street West.

Response times in Clearwater became a concern after the city disbanded its local ambulance service in 2020 due to high operating costs. Staffing also was an issue, as it is for many small services that rely primarily on volunteers.

Sedgwick County officials hope this will help provide quicker care. The closest ambulance to Clearwater is based in Haysville, and the next is based in Goddard.

A paramedic with advanced life support (ALS) certification is assigned to the emergency rapid response vehicles. That is a higher level of certification than most volunteers with local EMS or fire departments, and thus are trained and authorized to provide a higher level of care on site.

“What is important to understand is that our Clearwater volunteer medical responders will continue to respond and the county will continue to dispatch

an ambulance until such time as the on-scene medical personnel determines that transport is not required and calls them off,” Clearwater Mayor Burt Ussery said in a statement.

Sedgwick County provides EMS service to nearly all parts of the county, including the city of Wichita. That means balancing the needs of high-call urban areas with sparsely populated rural areas and smaller municipalities that are further away from EMS bases and from trauma centers in Wichita’s core.

The way the county handles emergency calls, the closest available EMS unit is sent when a call comes in. That means the outlying units, whether in Goddard or Haysville, could be sent to another part of the county if they are still in the city. That then increases the response time to the southern or western parts of Sedgwick County. In Cheney, the next nearest EMS unit would come from Haysville or the Westlink area in west Wichita.

Rodeo organizers call it a success Staff report TSnews

The ninth annual Bronc Kraft Memorial Rodeo may well have been the biggest fall Argonia rodeo to date. An estimated 1,100 attendees came to the River Park rodeo grounds to enjoy the event.

“We had a great turn out and had a lot of fun doing it. After being cooped up over the summer with few events to attend, the Bronc Kraft Memorial Rodeo provided some much needed outdoor activity for everyone,” said Michelle Leidy-Franklin of the Conway Springs Development Foundation (CSDF).

This may have been the group’s first rodeo, but the CSDF had a very successful weekend that brought in more than $3,000 to be used toward future community activities.

“I personally was very impressed at the atten-

dance, both for the Kraft family and because of what that attendance meant for the CSDF financial goals.

Hopefully we can continue to build on this and provide activities for the Conway Springs citizens with the funds raised by putting on the rodeo,” said CSDF board member Jessica Gerlach.

The credit for the success of the rodeo belongs to the joint effort of multiple groups. The city of Argonia had city maintenance dedicate several days of work to get the rodeo grounds at the River Park ready for the event.

Bleachers were repaired, grass was mowed, and the soil was prepared for the event. Some welding repairs were made both before and during the rodeo events. City Clerk Tara Pierce helped oversee the maintenance needed on the grounds and together with her husband, Jim, they spent many volunteer hours getting supplies to

The Plains Church youth group took up their usual role at the concession stand and provided food and drinks to patrons and weary cowboys. The group also reported a record year in sales and were happy to be able to once again take part and provide a successful fundraiser for their youth group.

Kraft Rodeo put on an exciting show for a full crowd. Steve Kraft was expecting high attendance after enduring 15 rodeo cancellations over the summer. Participants were

ready to play and the audience was ready to watch.

“It’s been a tough year, but getting out and doing something fun for the community was just what we all needed, and with three non-profits making it happen everyone can feel good about their money going to a good cause,” said Leidy-Franklin

‘Pencils for Lexi’ Haysille resident is smashing world record

By Paul Rhodes TSnews prhodes@tsnews.com HAYSVILLE – Lexi Duff, the Haysville 20-year-old who was trying to set a world record for pencils, is crushing it.

For years, Lexi Duff has been obsessed with pencils.

Now, she has somewhere in the neighborhood of 50,000 of them.

As of late last week, Lexi had 48,725 pencils, and that number grows every day. She only needed around 20,000 to break the Guinness World Record for most pencils in a single collection.

Lexi is Autistic, and her mother Shawna Duff said the obsession with pencils started in middle school.

“It was the end of the school year and her teacher decided to clean out lockers,” said Shawna. “Lexi was with her, and she said Lexi could keep all the pencils she found.”

From there, the fascination just grew over the years.

Once the pencil record has been reached, the family will have to pay a fee to have the collection verified.

Then, they hope to take Lexi to New York City and be in the Jimmy Fallon audience, and maybe take in a Broadway show.

“When we get to that point, we’ll do a fundraiser to help with those expenses,” said Shawna. She said the Haysville Community Library is helping out with a collection box. The plan is to continue collecting pencils through the end of September, and then cut things off.

Pencils donated to the cause can’t be mechanical pencils, and they can’t have colored lead. Otherwise, anything goes, Shawna said.

If it’s more convenient to mail pencils to Lexi, the address is: Lexi Duff, P.O. Box 15, Haysville, KS 67060. Please mail any final donations by or before Sept. 30.

Lexi Duff is chasing a world record.

Cheney Chamber discusses COVID impact

By Paul Rhodes TSnews prhodes@tsnews.com

CHENEY – Members of the Cheney Chamber of Commerce heard several reports tied into the COVID-19 pandemic, and as school superintendent David Grover so aptly put it, “We are learning as we go.”

As the Chamber membership met last Tuesday, Grover noted that most school districts in the area are launching the semester with in-person instruction, but that several of those schools didn’t start until that day. He said he was glad the Cheney School District had decided to start earlier, and was already settling into a pretty solid routine.

Grover said that as of that day, two students and one staff member had tested positive for the virus, and that 17 people had been quarantined because of contact with those with the virus.

“Almost all (of the contacts) have been traced back to a meal,” said Grover. He said that none of the quarantined people had tested positive at that point.

Grover also noted that the two weeks following the holiday weekend would “be a test” to see if additional issues developed.

Greg Rosenhagen, principal at Cheney High School, noted that wearing masks among students “has been a non-issue.” He said the student body has responded positively, and that students understand the need to wear masks.

School officials said average daily attendance has been running around 95 percent, but acknowledged that flu season will complicate things.

“Symptoms will be the same,” noted Grover. He said school officials had worried about enrollment being down by 40 students or so, but most of those have been convinced to attend school.

School officials, who regularly bring Students of the Month to the Chamber luncheons, said they are working to continue that recognition process, but might not bring the students to the monthly Chamber meetings because of COVID-19 concerns. They said they are also revamping the selection process for those students, as well.

City officials noted they had found a source for hand sanitizer stations, and were installing them at city facilities. Anyone needing information on sanitizer stations can contact City Hall.

As the pandemic con-

tinues, city administrator Danielle Young noted that food trucks have been coming to town, and the city is working on identifying regulations for those trucks.

City officials also noted that Sedgwick County has extended its mask regulations, and now compliance with the mask order is mandatory.

During their reports, churches noted that they are continuing to work on ways to have services as safely as possible during the pandemic.

In other business, the Chamber: • Heard an update from local developer Roger Zerener about his new housing development, Bison Ridge. The new development will be located east of the Lubbers Ford and Chevrolet dealership on the north edge of Cheney. The development

has the potential for 80-85 homes, and some lots could be available next spring or summer. Zerener said he is now working with builders on their interest in the project, as well as the layout of the development.

• Introduced the Williams family of Cheney.

Their son has AMC, an ailment that affects his muscles and joints. A fundraiser to help with upcoming surgeries is planned for 3-5 p.m. Sept. 27. It will be a scavenger hunt that will allow for social distancing.

The Chamber agreed to donate to the fundraiser, and other businesses can help with sponsorships and gifts.

Teacher, mother, hell-raiser

Haysville says goodbye to Marion Renner

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

HAYSVILLE – Marion Renner was many things: teacher, library patron, mother, and – according to her obituary – an eternal hell-raiser.

Renner died Monday, Sept. 7, at the age of 87, after battling health problems recently.

A native of Zurich, Kan., located in the northwest part of the state, she was a longtime Haysville resident. She spent more than three decades teaching in Haysville Public Schools, although her first job out of college was working as a fashion illustrator for JCPenney in Wichita.

She took that job after earning an arts degree at Kansas State University.

Her marriage ended in divorce in the 1960s, leaving her to raise two children on her own. That was a difficult time to be a single mother, according to her son, Richard Renner.

“A lot of her married friends quit talking to her,” he said. “ I had to deal with being from a ‘broken’ family and whatever the hell that meant. She made sure we grew up in a family environment.”

That meant returning to Zurich in the summer with her two children to be on her parents’ farm.

After the end of her marriage, she returned to school and earned a master’s degree in teaching, which allowed her to be on the same schedule as her children and, as her obituary noted, save money on daycare bills.

Richard said his mother’s first teaching job was at a one-room school in northwest Kansas.

“It was one of the last ones ever. She had no problem teaching older kids and younger kids together,” he said.

She spent more than 30 years teaching kindergarten in Haysville Public Schools. She started at Oatville Elementary before becoming one of two kindergarten teachers at Nelson Elementary.

“It was her and Ruth Clark, the two of them together. Mom was known as the mean one and Ruth was known as the nice,” Richard said. Sometimes, a misbehaving student from a different grade level was sent to Renner before going to the principal’s office.

Richard wasn’t sure if

his mother cultivated that image or liked being the mean one, but, he said, “She liked telling that story. She liked being stern with kids. She’d tell me to do something. I’d say, ‘Why?’ She said, ‘Because it’s the right thing to do.’”

Actually, Marion was very nurturing at home.

Richard said he had to hear from friends about how stern she was in the classroom. She encouraged creativity in Richard and his sister, Julie. Both earned theater degrees.

It wasn’t just kindergarten students who found Marion Renner to be stern and formidable. She was the head of the teacher’s union for several years, and understood school finance inside and out. That was just one example of her will and determination to get things done and of her ability to lead.

“I watched her negotiate with the board of education. A lot of them were scared of her. She knew her stuff.”

Marion enjoyed the arts, especially theater.

She played piano, sang and dance. She once broke her leg while dancing on a freshly polished floor.

She was an avid reader and was in the middle of a book the day she died.

She spent time traveling after her retirement, but also found ways to remain very active. She worked at

Newman University for a time, running the teacher placement program.

She was active as a member of the Haysville Public Library board of directors and the Friends of Haysville Public Library, and at the Haysville United Methodist Church, where her activities included serving as president of the women’s group. Renner was responsible for the murder mystery dinners staged by the Friends of the Library.

She helped organize the annual citywide garage sales, proudly boasting that Haysville put on the country’s first organized citywide sales.

Renner was recognized for her community work as the Haysville Citizen of the Year and the Friends of Kansas Libraries Volunteer of the Year.

Marie Riggs was a longtime friend of Marion.

The pair go back at least 35 years, becoming friends through church as well as teaching together.

“She was like the Energizer Bunny,” Riggs said.

“She was always ready and willing.”

That included a trip to the Kansas City area a few years ago to watch the solar eclipse. Riggs described Marion as the ringleader of a group of people in their 80s and 90s who were planning to make the drive for the rare celestial event.

“My husband and I decided to take them,” said Riggs, who is quite a bit younger. “That went to the end (of her life.)”

Riggs said Marion continue to audit classes at Wichita State, even during the last year of her life as her health began to deteriorate.

“She continued to learn, right up to the end,” Riggs said.

Although she retired in the 1990s, she remained a teacher at heart.

“She loved teaching. She loved all her students,” Richard said. “She was able to raise us and a thousand other kids at the same time.”

His Facebook post about his mother’s passing drew more than 400 comments, with people telling stories and sharing how much Marion Renner meant to them.

“In many ways, she really was the mom of Haysville too.” –Bill Unruh.

“She has touched the world one child at a time.

It has been my honor to know her.” –Rhonda Bartels-Townson.

“She was our first teacher three years apart and has always been in our hearts, minds and prayers.” –Lori O’Dell.

“She is leaving a big hole in the Haysville Methodist Women for sure.” –Roma Otankis.

“She touched so many

lives and shaped so many young lives.” –Marian Shufelberger.

Richard said he knows there are many other great stories out there. Her funeral service will include an “open mic” for people to share their remembrances.

Marion had open-heart surgery about 2-1/2 years ago. She recovered well, but began to have valve issues this summer.

“Eventually, they had to say, ‘I’m sorry, Marion. We can’t do any more.’”

She went into hospice, and died four days later. She remained in her home, and was still mentally sharp.

Richard shared one final story about his mother.

His parents divorced when he was just two years old. His father remarried and had a new family in California, and his former

family never heard from him. That was very common following divorces in the 1960.

A couple of years ago, someone from California reached out to Richard.

“I got a call from a lady who introduced herself as my half-sister, Kathy Renner,” he said. Known today as Kathy Yamada, she wanted to connect with the family members she never knew.

“Mom went out there with me. Kathy loved her so much, she starting calling her ‘Mom,’” he said.

“She (Marion) had a natural nurturing that people responded to.”

The memorial service for Marion Renner – including the open mic – will be held at 11 a.m.

New process to treat water for Goddard splash pad

By Sam Jack TSnews

Anyone who uses city water in Goddard knows there is no magic bullet to combat the water’s hardness. But the city may have found a tool to help slow down the effects of hard water in the city’s splash pad.

Council members at Monday’s meeting approved spending $35,100 to install three Enercat Moulds. Public works director Brooke Brandenburg said the moulds use a combination of rare-earth substances to address mineral buildup related to the hard water. The city did not install a salt-based softener system when the splash pad was constructed because it was not practical.

Brandenburg admitted he had a “healthy dose of skepticism” when the city got a 30-day trial to test the system. The moulds

“clamp” over a pipe that feeds the splash pad. He said the city has done several tests, including checking water samples before and after the installation, and has discovered that the Enercat system appears to be making a difference. The system is sold by Relevant Holdings LLC and this is the first time the moulds have been deployed in a municipal setting.

“I do believe it works and I do believe it will extend the life of our splash pad,” Brandenburg told the council, adding that the devices probably would outlast the pad.

City administrator Brian Silcott said the city got a reduced rate on the system in return for serving as a “demo” site for other communities.

The apparent successful trial prompted council member Sarah Leland to wonder aloud if the city could get the company

to commit to similar pricing should the city decide to put a splash pad in the not-yet-built north park.

In another water-related business item, the council approved the purchase of 125 new residential water meters, eight commercial meters, 153 pit antennas and a 250-meter point software upgrade for the city’s radio-read meter system.

Brandenburg said the city is quickly seeing many of its meters reach the end of their lifecycles. The city had planned to do a more gradual purchase of meters (20 each quarter).

But with the current level of new home construction, new meters are going into new residential properties, leaving few to replace existing meters.

Brandenburg said city staff members are spending 80 man hours per month re-reading 120 meters. Some of the meter

Benefit scavenger hunt is Sunday

CHENEY – A scavenger hunt to benefit a Cheney youth will be held this Sunday.

The event will be held at 2 p.m. at the Cheney Recreation Commission. The plan is to have activities for families looking to escape the mundane.

The hunt is sponsored by Owen’s Warrior Fund, which has been set up to help Owen Bud Williams, the son of Greg and Deanna Williams of Cheney. Owen was diagnosed at birth with amyoplasia, a type of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC). It results in low muscle tone,

absence of some muscles and stiff joints.

Owen requires extensive therapies and surgeries to improve his range of motion and to foster independence. Because of the rareness of the condition, local help is not available. He is being cared for by specialists in Pennsylvania and Florida, and his next surgery is set to take place in Florida this fall. If successful, it will help him take his first independent steps.

problems are at schools, which creates an even greater problem if re-reads are needed. The new commercial size meters will be placed at those locations.

Total cost of the new meters and other equipment is $30,515 and will be paid from water reserve funds.

In other business, the council: • Approved the purchase of a new utility easement from a property owner north of 23rd Street for a new pressurized or “forced” sewer main to serve the Arbor Creek development.

The city originally had planned to place the main in an existing county easement but a new fiber optic cable has since been put there, leaving no room for the sewer main. Cost of the new easement is $5,000.

• Cancelled and released Kansas Paving from the sidewalk portion of its work in Phase 1 of the Arbor Creek development.

From Page 1A Abilene, the district has suspended all extra-curricular activities until at least Oct. 5.

Not playing the next two games won’t have an impact on seedings for the Colts or on other teams that lose games due to COVID-19 cases or exposure. Last week, the Kansas State High School Activities Association made changes to its postseason rules for all fall sports. For the largest classes (6A, 5A, 4A) in football, playoff seeding will be based on win-loss percentage for games played. The Colts are a 6A team.

Also in the TSnews coverage area, Cheney Middle School football previously cancelled two weeks of games and practices after a positive COVID-19 cases and related quarantines.

Teams that voluntarily forfeit a game will be eliminated from playoff contention. If a game is cancelled due to COVID-19, KSHSAA will review it. If approved, the game will be called a “no contest.”

Volleyball: Teams will be seeded into geographic substates. Each substate winner will play a neighboring substate winner in a best-of-five match to determine who goes to the state semifinals. The semifinals and finals for each class will be played in one-day tournaments.

Cross country: There will be more regionals with fewer teams, although 12 teams will still qualify for State in each class. In addition, there will still be individual runners who qualify for State. As previously reported by TSnews, there will now be three State locations instead of two.

‘The roots go deep’

Walton family celebrates 150-year farming legacy

By Sam Jack TSnews

Emma Walton is the recipient of a Sesquicentennial Farm Award from the Sumner County Farm Bureau, recognizing a 150year agricultural legacy on the family’s original homestead near Belle Plaine.

Goldsmith Chandlee (G.C.) Walton, his wife, Sarah, and eight children were the original homesteaders, moving here from Churubusco, Indiana, in 1870 in a covered wagon.

According to a family

history narrative, G.C. was born in 1817 on a family plantation in Virginia.

When he was a young man, his father decided it was wrong to keep slaves, freed them, and disposed of the plantation. When the Waltons arrived in the local area, there were only eight houses in Wichita. July 5, 1870, was the family’s first day on what is now called the Old Walton Homestead.

“The first home they had was a dugout along the Ninnescah River, and they lived there about a year and a half, then built

a little single-room shanty,” Emma Walton said.

“They lived in that maybe about five years and then built a larger house, and then they kept adding onto it.”

After G.C. died in 1885, Sarah continued to farm the land with her sons until her own death in 1904. Then one of the sons, Hiram Jesse Walton, bought out the other heirs and became sole owner.

H.J. continued to farm the land until he died in 1931. Then ownership was again divided among multiple heirs, but two of H.J.’s

sons, Joe and Jesse Walton, did the farming.

In the following generation, Harlan Walton, one of Joe Walton’s sons, eventually bought out the other heirs and went back to live at the homestead with his wife, Emma.

“At that time, there were two single aunts of Harlan’s that were still living in the old house,” Emma said. “One of them died in 1984 and the other in 1992. It was so interesting to have those aunts, who had been born and raised and lived all their life in that old house, around to

tell us stories. We have two girls, Jennifer and Emily, and they would go over and do things for their great-aunts and have an interesting, interesting time over there.”

After the aunts’ deaths, the original farmhouse was sold and relocated to a neighbor’s property.

Harlan and Emma built a ranch house on the homestead in 1979.

Last year, a Walton family reunion was held near the farm at the Council Hill Christian Church, which has lots of historical roots with the Walton family.

“It was a great reunion, with several of the other families that came to Sumner County at the

same time in the covered wagons,” Emma said.

“These were some of the first white settlers in Sumner County to come here with women and children.”

Harlan’s oldest sibling, Shirley Camp, is considered the family historian and has written multiple books with stories of the G.C. Walton family and descendants. Emma said she feels lucky that her family’s history has been preserved in that way.

“It definitely means a lot to us,” Emma said. “You know, the roots go deep, and that’s unusual, with the way people move nowadays. It is pretty amazing to have those roots go back 150 years.”

Family still uses grandfather’s farm equipment

By Sam Jack TSnews

Alice Templeton has been recognized as the third-generation owner of a Century Farm located east of Valley Center.

The farm was originally purchased by Templeton’s grandparents, Nelson and Sarah Froman, in 1909.

The Fromans had six children who inherited and divided the land, but it was eventually all passed down to two daughters: Frances, who was Templeton’s mother, and Florence.

Templeton inherited Frances’ half of the land, and Florence’s family still owns the other half, located just

to the north.

Devin Duerksen, Templeton’s grandson, currently lives on the land and manages it. The family farm has 120 acres of cropland, 17 to 20 acres in hay, plus some land for the farmhouse.

“My brother (Calvin) farmed with his grandpa, Blain Miller, on this land,” said Lisa Duerksen, Templeton’s daughter. “We’re all still out here, using the same equipment grandpa used.

We’ve added a couple things in, but we mainly still farm with the same equipment. We don’t have what we’d consider new equipment; we use

all the old time stuff. The same tractors grandpa used, the same combine.”

It’s fun to keep the equipment going, and it’s also a way of being frugal.

“When you’re a small farm, you can’t really spend a lot; you just don’t get in debt to do things like that,” Duerksen said.

“So if it runs, we make it work, and we repair what we can.”

Everyone in the family has full-time jobs in other industries. They keep the farm operation going on evenings and weekends.

“We stay pretty busy,” Lisa Duerksen said. “It’s great to continue that legacy.”

Blain Miller drives a combine. Miller’s great-grandson, Devin Duerksen, now lives on the farm and manages it. The family still uses farm equipment that Miller originally purchased.

Carps named Farm Family of the Year

By Sam Jack TSnews

Joy and Bill Carp have been named the Kansas Farm Bureau’s Farm Family of the Year for District 4. The honor recognizes the couple, along with their sons Brandon and Gavin, for their years of participation and leadership with the Farm Bureau on both the county and state levels.

The Carps have been active members of Sedgwick County Farm Bureau since Bill joined the board of directors in 2012.

Joy took his place on the board after his last term in 2018, and also serves as the scholarship committee chair. Joy is also a member of the Ag Advisory Committee for the Maize School District, and both of their sons have been active in FFA. Bill chairs the Kansas Farm Bureau Environment and Natural Resources Committee and has helped organize irrigators in response to the Wichita Aquifer Storage and Recovery Program.

Joy said that getting involved with the Farm Bureau has been a great way to get to know others in the ag community.

“The county is the size it is, and farmers are a small percentage of the population, yet we still don’t all know each other,” she said. “Just being board members connects us with people right in our own community. Then even going to national conventions, it’s really interesting, because there are so many different ways to farm, and different

products being farmed.

You connect with people whose operations are very different from your own, and yet you’re still all part of agriculture.”

Bill grew up with a connection to agriculture through his father and uncle, who raised pigs and livestock, while Joy did not grow up on a farm. Now the couple farm land in the northwest part of Sedgwick County.

“Bill went to Maize High

School, and they did not have FFA at the time, but he always liked machinery, and he met a guy who was wanting to retire, sell his machinery and rent his land. So that’s how Bill got started, and then I married into it,” Joy explained.

Both Brandon and Gavin have farmed with their parents. Gavin recently graduated from Maize High School, while Brandon is a junior majoring in agriculture economics at Kansas State

Study indicates rising temperatures will increase yield risk, crop insurance premium rates Kansas State University agricultural economists have taken a different approach than most to determine the risk farmers face in growing crops under increasingly higher average temperatures.

The results indicate that yield risk will increase

in response to warmer weather, with a 1 degree Celsius increase associated with yield risk increasing by approximately 32 percent for corn and 11 percent for soybeans.

K-State economists Edward Perry, Jesse Tack, and Jisang Yu conducted

the analysis using roughly 30,000 county-by-year observations from a relatively untapped source of information included in “cause of loss,” or COL data. That information is part of insurance indemnity payment data.

COL data is publicly

available and maintained by the USDA Risk Management Agency. The economists investigated data from 1989 to 2014.

The research has been published in Nature Communications.

“We find that warming temperatures on aver-

age are associated with higher risk, and our results suggest that the cost of insurance per unit of liability – the premium rate – will increase as a result,” said Tack, who is an associate professor in the K-State Department of Agricultural Economics.

He said that warming weather is expected to reduce average yields for many of the major dryland corn and soybean production regions in the United States. What is less clear is if the variability

Marvin and Deb Jelinek pose for a family photo with their sons, sons’ spouses, and grandchildren. The family’s farming legacy near Bluff City began in the late 1800s.

Couple farmed throughout careers as educators

By Sam Jack TSnews The Kansas Farm Bureau has recognized Marvin and Deb Jelinek’s 160-acre farm near Bluff City as a Century Farm.

His family originally purchased the farm in 1892.

Marvin’s great-grandfather, Joseph Jelinek, emigrated to the U.S. as a child, the second oldest in a family with nine or 10 children.

Joseph and a brother took part in the Cherokee Strip Land Run, successfully claiming land on the northern edge of Oklahoma.

“He moved his family down there, they lived down there for a few years, and then he sold that property and moved back up to around Bluff City,” Marvin said. “In that time period, he purchased this quarter of ground, which from our genealogy, was the first quarter of ground

that he purchased in Kansas.”

Joseph had six children who lived into adulthood, each of whom inherited some land, but the land being recognized as a Century Farm was originally inherited not by Marvin’s grandfather, Lou, but by a great-uncle, Frank. Marvin grew up farming the property for Frank, along with both his father, Charlie, and grandfather Lou. “We just lost my last uncle, less than a year ago, and he was the last one of the six children and their spouses,” Marvin said. “So that generation is gone now, and it’s up to our generation to go through the genealogy that has been done before. We’re in the process of trying to get it caught up as best as we can.”

Marvin’s wife, Deb (Bengtson) Jelinek is from the Lindsborg area and has some Century Farm-eligible land on her side of

the family as well. The couple are both retired from teaching school in Mulvane. They farmed throughout their teaching careers, making time during evenings, weekends and school breaks.

“No one was ever lost for not having something to do,” Marvin said.

The couple have two sons, Jason and Justin, and four grandchildren.

Farming is much more than a job for Donald and Nancy Seiwert.

They were recognized this year with a Century Farm Award, presented by the Sumner County Farm Bureau Association.

Their family farm traces back to Nancy’s great-grandparents, Charles and Ora Thrift. The Thrifts were married in 1906, and they moved to the farm around 1910. Nancy Seiwert said it’s not completely certain when they started their farm, which was located a mile north of Viola.

Today, the farming operation is much larger, with much of just south in Sumner County. Donald farms with his brothers, Jim Seiwert and David Seiwert.

The family connections run deep. Nancy’s father farmed with his dad. Donald lost his father at a young age, and was raised by his grandparents and farmed with them.

Nancy and Donald married in 1981 and have lived on the farm since then. They took over the operation when her dad retired.

“We have been very blessed with family that

Nancy and Donald have a nephew involved in the operation, so there is hope that yet another generation will take over.

Succession plans for family farms are a challenge nationwide, both from a cost perspective and as farm kids look to careers that may provide more income stability.

One interesting side note is that the original farm house is still around, although it is no longer on the farm. Built in the late 1910s, Donald and Nancy lived in the home for the first 14 years of their marriage. The home was then moved, and now sits north of U.S. 54 along Viola Road.

has deep roots here. My dad grew up on this farm,” Nancy said. Her sister has another quarter-section that their great-grandfather farmed.

“My dad farmed, so that’s really all I have known. I was a farmer’s daughter and then a farmers wife,” she said. “For me, it’s the connection to the land. It’s a lifestyle, not a job.”

Today’s operation is primarily a wheat farm. They have a lot of soybeans this fall, and Nancy said they sometimes plant milo as well. They used to run some cattle, but now rent out that ground.

Caldwell’s Metzinger receives Century Farm Award

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

Marion Metzinger’s farm near Caldwell traces its history back to the beginning of the last century, when his great-grandfather, Henry Metzinger, purchased it 1905.

Marion’s grandfather, Henry J. Metzinger, bought it in 1914, and then Marion’s dad, Henry H. Metzinger, took over in 1936.

“I bought it in 1976,” Marion Metzinger said. He was presented this year with a Century Farm Award from Sumner County Farm Bureau.

It wasn’t always a sure thing that Marion would carry on the family tradition in Sumner County.

“In high school,” I wasn’t interested.”

But an experience changed his mind.

“After going into to the Marine Corps, I found I liked being my own boss,” Metzinger said with a laugh. “There’s a lot of variety, tremendous variety, so you don’t get bored. I like being outdoors when it’s nice. And being self-employed, making your own decisions.”

He said he can’t imagine having an office job where a person

Federally subsidized crop insurance can provide some protection, Tack said, but producers must pay a portion of the premium and premiums are based on how risky production is.

Perry noted that their estimates indicate that rising temperatures will have different effects in different parts of the country. In some northern regions,

does the same thing all the time.

He retired in 2018, and now leases out the ground to a nephew who Metzinger says “is doing a really good job.”

The family history traces back to Indiana, where Henry Metzinger settled. He originally trapped fur and worked in a coal mine. Then Henry Metzinger and his brothers owned a butcher shop in Chicago, dating back to 1860s and the Civil War. Marion’s grandfather, Henry J., came to Kansas with his brother Frank. The original plan was to be part of the land run into the Oklahoma territory.

Instead, they purchased farmland near Caldwell, which was a starting point for the land run.

“The grass was as high as a horse’s belly,” Marion said about the original farm ground. With plenty of rain this year, some of the pasture land looks that way again.

“Some it’s taller than me, and I’m 6-foot 4-inches,” Metzinger said.

Back then there were no trees except for a few by the creek.

Prairie fires kept everything under control.

There were four farm sections originally, and three are still in the extended Metzinger family.

higher temperatures will actually reduce downside risk.

“One implication of the heterogeneity in warming impacts is that producer adjustments to warming temperatures will differ depending on where you are located,” Perry said.

The Kansas Farm Bureau has recognized Gloria Meyer’s 80-acre farm near Caldwell as a Century Farm.

Meyer, who now lives near Goddard, is the fourth generation of her family to own the farmland in Sumner County.

The first was Henry Metzinger,

Metz family celebrates 150 years of farming

By Sam Jack TSnews

This year, the Metz family celebrates 150 years of farming in Sumner County, on a farm located about five miles west and a mile north of Oxford.

The current generations of Metz farmers include brothers Jason and Dan Metz and their now-retired father, Dennis.

But the story starts with Jason’s three-times-great grandfather, Clinton Metz.

“He enlisted in the Union Army, fought in the Civil War, and actually took a ball in the leg,” Jason said. “When he got out of the Army, he was in north central Missouri, where his parents were, with a wife, a little boy about a year and a half old, and his wife was pregnant with a second child.”

Just after the migrating family crossed the Kansas line, Clinton’s wife died in childbirth, losing the baby and leaving Clinton alone with his young son, Charlie. Clinton turned back to Missouri, left Charlie with his grandparents, and then headed back to Kansas to resume his original plan of homesteading.

It was virgin soil when Clinton started farming it, and the family still has the wooden beam of the walking plow Clinton used to break it out.

After two years on his new homestead, Clinton returned to Missouri to collect Charlie, by then more than 3 years old. Subsequently, Charlie’s grandparents

“Education, back in those years, the people could see that there was little future on the farm except for one kid who could make a

also ended up moving to Kansas.

“When he homesteaded, he had what they called a claim shack,” Jason said. “It was one room, kind of like a chicken house building. He didn’t get a house built until the late 1870s.”

Clinton never remarried.

When Charlie was grown, though, he married and started a family. His sons, Orvil and Clifford, formed the next generation of Metz farmers. Orvil had a son, Lloyd, who became Jason’s grandfather. One generation worked alongside the next, in an unbroken chain that has continued up to the present day.

“That’s sort of the tradition, of one generation farming with the next, and farming with the next,” Jason said.

Lloyd started a dairy farm in 1948, and the family milked cows until 2007, when they sold the dairy operation.

“We’re still crop faring, and we’ve got a small cow/calf herd,” Jason said. “Now it’s just my brother Dan and I. We started raising cotton back in 1996, which was a new crop here in southern Kansas, and we’ve been doing that.”

Jason bought the home place in 1990, when he was still in high school.

“When I started my senior year of high school, I was quite a ways in debt,” he said. “I had just bought a quarter section of ground, and you know, a 17-year-old kid, I wondered, ‘How am I ever going to pay this off?’ My dad helped me, mort-

living off of it. So Dad and Mom kept saying, ‘You can’t stay on the farm; get an education.’ So my oldest sister is a nurse, a second is a teacher, a third brother is a lawyer, and the fourth brother is an electrical engineer. I was an X-ray technologist, and my younger brother took over the farm in Marion.”

gaged the farm and co-signed, but I made all the payments.”

On Memorial Day weekend, Jason took sons Jacob and Logan to Oxford Cemetery to view the family’s gravestones and talk about history.

“It’s a family tradition, to talk about the family history to each generation,” Jason said. “I remember my granddad had a photo album, and he would set us down and talk about it. Now my dad has that photo album.

“It means something to me that I’m walking the same ground that they did 150 years

The Meyer family weathered some hard times, including the economic crash of 1929, the Dust Bowl, and in the 1950s, the polio epidemic.

“At the time of the Depression, my dad was a young farmer, farming with Henry J., and you know, they went through dust storms,

went through locust infestations,” Meyer said.

“I asked my mom, ‘How did you have the drive to continue? Why didn’t you just give up and walk out and never come back?’

She said, ‘I don’t know.

We just decided times would get better, so we hung in there.’”

As a young girl, Meyer

This year, we had 65-bushel wheat that was no-tilled after cotton. Dad farmed here with his dad from the 1960s until the 1980s, and he said if you got a 35-bushel wheat crop, you were really doing good. The learning and understanding evolves along with technology.

“We didn’t have any vaccine at that time, and then finally there was the breakthrough of the vaccine. The very first vaccine we took that worked against polio, they put a drop on a sugar cube and gave it to us to eat.

Then like a year later, they

came out with the vaccine and treated everybody again, in case the sugar cube didn’t work,” Meyer recalled. “We didn’t go to town – didn’t go anyplace except church and school until they got that vaccine. So this quarantine for a virus is not that unusual to us old-timers who remember that.”

Lions fend off pesky Bulldogs to go 3-0

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

The Goddard Lions racked up 29 first-half points en route to a 46-13 win at the Arkansas City Bulldogs.

The Lions’ win last Friday improved their record to 3-0, and moved them up from No. 8 to No. 6 in the Catch It Kansas Class 5A ranking.

Goddard trailed 7-0 after an early Arkansas City touchdown, but backto-back touchdown passes from Kyler Semrad put the Lions ahead 14-7. The first went 12 yards to Bo Bantz, and Jake Shope caught a 3-yard pass for the second score.

Still in the first quarter, Arkansas City pulled to within a point thanks to a 5-yard pass, but the Bulldogs missed the kick after,

leaving Goddard ahead 14-13.

The Lions then scored again – still in the first quarter – on a 1-yard run

by Dylan Reese, the first of his two rushing scores in the game.

“Our plan was fine. They came out with a lot of energy,” Goddard head coach Tommy Beason said about Arkansas City.

This changed as the game wore on. The Lions have enough players to have separate offensive and defensive platoons, while most of the Bulldogs played both ways.

“Once we started taking advantage of our depth, it started taking its toll,” Beason said. “You’re going to get everybody’s best shot right out of the gate.”

Goddard’s defense pitched a shutout over the next three quarters, and the Lions’ offense

put up 25 second-half points to turn a close game into a blowout.

Semrad threw two more touchdowns, one to Bantz for 3 yards and another to Shope for a big 63-yard touchdown. Re-

ese added a fourth-quarter score on a 19-yard run, and Mekhi Collins kicked a 28-yard field goal. Collins was 3-for3 on extra-point kicks, and Brooke Sullivan was 2-for-2.

“Defensively, we’re really starting to take on an identity,” Beason said. He noted that the Lions’ varsity has given up just five touchdowns all season; the other scores were against the JV. Beason credited his

three defensive coaches as well as the decision to keep himself out of the defense.

“Those three guys have done wonders with the time I’ve given them,” he said.

The Lions threw for 276 yards. Semrad was 19-for-30 for 269 yards.

Shope was the game’s top receiver, with 192 yards on 12 catches. Bantz added another 47 yards. Reese had 100 of the Lions 141 rushing yards, with 16 carries.

Having a 100-yard rusher gives the Lions more weapons, and Beason said that Shope is just difficult to guard.

The Lions face a tougher challenge this Friday at Andover Central (2-0).

The Jaguars are No. 7 in Class 4A. Andover Central beat Eisenhower 45-31 in a wild game last week.

Second half propels Cards over Owls

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

A big second half boosted Cheney to a 44-7 win at Garden Plain last Friday.

For the longest time, any Cardinals win over the Owls was rare, never mind a blowout, although the most recent win gives Cheney three victories in the last seven contests.

It was a big night for Cheney’s Logan Bartlett, who caught three interceptions, caught two passes for touchdowns, kicked a 23-yard field goal and made five of six extra-point attempts to account for 23 of Cheney’s 44 points.

Garden Plain struck first in this game, after the teams traded punts.

The Owls needed just one play to find the end zone on their second drive, as Tranden Daerr connected with Colby Haukap for a 61-yard touchdown, with Haukap slipping a Cheney tackle inside the 5-yard line.

“We executed some things, turned a simple hot route into a big play,” said Garden Plain head coach Dan Adelhardt.

The Cardinals answered, moving the ball from their

33-yard line to the Garden Plain 8, where the Owls defense held. Bartlett’s field goal cut the Owls’ lead to 7-3.

Garden Plain put together another solid drive going into the second quarter, moving to the Cardinals’ 43. But

a fourth-down pass to the end zone was picked off by Bartlett.

“That was a big play, a huge play. They could have been up 14-3 on us at that point,” said Cheney head coach Shelby Wehrman.

Cheney then needed just four plays to go 80

yards. A 39-yard pass from Harrison Voth to Dayton Higgs put the Cardinals in Garden Plain territory.

Voth then found Marcus Peintner for a 40-yard touchdown pass and a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter.

The Cardinals increased

their lead later in the quarter with an 8-yard scoring pass to Luke Grace that put Cheney up 17-7 at halftime.

The game belonged to Bartlett and the rest of the Cardinals after the break.

Cheney took the ball first and scored on its first

two possessions. It took just over two minutes for the Cardinals to go 71 yards, as Bartlett caught a 39-yard touchdown pass.

After Garden Plain went three-and-out, Cheney again scored quickly. The Cardinals went 67 yards on six plays, as Voth found Bartlett again, this time for a 24-yard score and a 30-7 lead.

Things continued to go the Cardinals’ way in the fourth quarter. Bartlett caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from Voth as Cheney went up 37-7.

Garden Plain’s next two drives ended in interceptions by Bartlett.

Cheney scored on its first play after the last interception, as Quincy Thomas broke through the line and scrambled 69 yards for the touchdown.

That put Cheney ahead 44-7.

Both of the Owls’ interceptions came on the first plays of drives, and the Cardinals got the ball right back, once after a score and once after a punt.

The Owls opened the half with three consecutive punts. The lone bright spot in the second half was an interception by Haukap,

Big quarter leads to big win for Conway Springs

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

It didn’t take long for the Conway Springs Cardinals to show Elkhart the type of pounding football that is played at small schools in south-central Kansas.

The Cardinals scored 36 first-quarter points en route to a 58-12 win over the Wildcats last Friday in Conway Springs’ home opener. The victory improved the Cardinals’ district record to 2-0 in 1A District 4. Sedgwick and Sublette also are undefeated in the district at 1-0.

The Cardinals’ lead was as large as 50-0 before Elkhart managed a late first-half score. Jonathan Wright ran for touchdowns of 17 and 64 yards, Health Hilger had scoring runs of 4 and 22 yards,

Cole Schulte broke for a 72-yard touchdown, and Brayden Kunz’s 15yard score made it 50-0.

Hilger also connected with Schulte for a 41-yard touchdown pass to start the scoring. Kunz threw to Taylor Wykes for a 15-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter.

Elkhart’s two scores came against the Cardinals’ younger players, who were able to substitute freely by halftime.

Head coach Matt Biehler would have liked to have seen his starters play a little longer.

“It’s a concern having fourth-quarter stamina.

We have kids that want to get their touches and hit their groove,” he said. The varsity offense only had about a dozen plays. The experience for the younger players in a varsity game is

invaluable, however.

Biehler was pleased with his team’s explosive first quarter.

“We had a good week of practice and then adjusted well to a new team,” he said.

Conway Springs has its second and last non-district game of the season this Friday, as the Cardinals host the Ellinwood Eagles on homecoming night. The Eagles are a young team that has struggled. They have not scored yet in three losses of 61 or more points. Conway Springs will be the third top-five team that Ellinwood has seen in four weeks.

The Cardinals rolled up 307 rushing yards, led by Wright with 98, Schulte with 72, Kunz with 64, and Colby Osner with 38.

Schulte, Zach Osner and

Wykes had a catch each, with Schulte pulling in the longest reception at 41 yards. Conway Springs

had 84 passing yards, going 3-for-3.

The defense forced five turnovers. Brayden Kunz,

Ben Ward and Zane Zoglman all recovered fumbles, and Wright and Kunz had interceptions.

Titans overwhelm Oxford to go 3-0

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

Another week, another big win for the Argonia-Attica football team. The Titans steamrolled the Oxford Wildcats 62-0 on Friday, scoring 48 in the first half of a game that was called at halftime on the 45-point rule.

The Titans kept scoring on big plays, notching eight touchdowns against just two first downs in the game.

Adam Blanchat, Blake Goodman and Xander Newberry each ran for a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter, the longest being a 58-yard score by Newberry late in the quarter that put the Titans ahead 48-0. The Titans converted all 2-point tries in the quarter. Newberry ran for three, Goodman for two and Blanchat had one.

Wyatt Peterson and Conner Harnden ran for touchdowns of 43 yards and 66 yards, respectively, in the second quarter.

As gaudy as the offensive numbers were in this game, it should be noted how dominate the defense has been all season. The Titans have not given up a point to any of their three opponents during the 2020 season.

“We’re still hanging our hat on the defensive side of the ball. They’ve done a good job with whatever we put in during practice,” said co-head coach Luke Greenwood.

For the offense, the unanswered question is how they will respond when truly challenged. The Titans have yet to go deep into the playbook.

“One of the downsides (of blowout wins) is you don’t know what kind of team you have until you are tested,” Greenwood said.

The Titans rushed for 287 yards, led by Goodman with 98 and Harnden with 72. Other top rushers were Peterson (43), Blanchat (36) and Newberry (27). Newberry completed both of his pass attempts to Blanchat for 37 yards and a touchdown.

Noah Phillips led the defense with eight tackles, Seth Drouhard had six, Cooper Traffas made five, and Goodman, Newberry, Kaden Dickerson, Cale Carlisle and Blake Shaddox had four each.

The Titans have to be considered the favorite going into their district games in 8-man Div. I District 5. At 3-0, the Titans have the district’s only winning record.

They begin district play this Friday at the Goessel Bluebirds (1-2).

“I’ve stressed to the boys the records reset. Goessel has played two of the top five teams in the state,” Greenwood said.

He noted that a year ago, the Titans were the 1-2 team and yet opened district play with a win over a Caldwell squad that had been undefeated. Goessel will be the most athletic team the Titans have seen so far. The Bluebirds are more of a spread team rather than focusing on a power running game like the Titans previous opponents. Instead, the Bluebirds look a lot like the Titans, with smaller players and more team speed.

Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

Tigers show flashes in road defeat

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

A 10-0 lead and a strong comeback showed the potential that this year’s Eisenhower Tigers football has, but they weren’t able to string together enough plays in a 45-31 loss at the Andover Central Jaguars.

The Tigers took an early lead on a 21-yard field goal

by Carlos Vidrio and a 2-yard touchdown from Cody Hawks.

The Jaguars then reeled off five unanswered scores – four touchdowns and a field goal – that put Andover Central ahead 31-10 after three quarters.

But Eisenhower scored three of the next four touchdowns to climb back into the game. Hawks scored on another 2-yard run. Andover Central answered with a 61-yard touchdown pass for a 38-17 lead.

The Tigers then scored on short touchdown runs by Hawks and Nick Hogan that put them within a single possession, 38-31. That’s as close as they got, however, as Andover Central punctuated the victory with a 54-yard touchdown run.

“Our guys never quit fighting,” head coach Darrin Fisher said when asked about the positives in the game.

“Our guys, they just won’t quit.”

Consistency remains the Tigers’ biggest struggle, not talent. Fisher said players are trying to do too much instead of focusing on just their own assignments.

“Trust in your guys,” is the message, Fisher said.

The Tigers struggled to run in this game but threw the ball up and down the field, gaining 307 yards passing as Hogan went 24-for-41 with three interceptions. Eisenhower also lost a pair of fumbles.

Mason Turney was the Tigers’ top receiver, with 16 catches for 218 yards. Cade Friend had 57 receiving yards. The Tigers gained 49 rushing yards, 25 of which came from Hogan.

The Jaguars ran for 254 yards and passed for 256.

The Tigers (1-2) are back home on Friday night as they host the resurgent Andover Trojans (2-1). Andover has become more of a single-wing offense under new head coach Ken Dusenbury, who spent the past few seasons at Garden Plain.

“We need to focus on ourselves, need to keep getting better,” Fisher said. “We need to control the things we can control and not try to do things beyond that.

“I think this week we’ll find out who we really are.”

Kickoff is at 7 p.m. at Goddard District Stadium.

Colts fall at Salina South

Campus’ next two games cancelled

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

Coming off a 55-35 loss at the Salina South Cougars last week, the Campus Colts football team is now in quarantine after a positive COVID-19 test. Their games this Friday and next week have been cancelled.

It is a tough position for the Colts, who wanted to fix the things that went wrong against the Cougars. Campus had an early lead, and the teams were tied at 21 at halftime.

But the Colts gave up some big touchdowns in the second half, and head coach Jamie Cruce said the Colts were not discipline enough as they drew several personal fouls.

“So we were really anxious to get back to work this week,” he said.

Instead, the Colts are now quarantining following a positive COVID-19 result, and their games this Friday and next week are called off.

“We’ve never gone through

anything like this,” Cruce said. The time off won’t help a team that has been working to improve. “There will be some rust. But that’s what it is. It’s out of our control.”

South needed less than two minutes for a 65-yard drive that put the Cougars up 7-0.

The Colts answered with a 4-minute drive that ended with a 9-yard scoring run by Remey Buckles. The Cougars took the lead back immediately with a 92-yard return on the ensuing kickoff.

But back-to-back touchdown runs

by Campus quarterback Braelyn Jay put the Colts up 21-13 with less than two minutes to go in the first half. Jay’s 15-yard run on the second touchdown capped a drive that went for more than eight minutes. The Colts kept the drive alive with a big completion from Jay to Derek Sheler for 16 yards on fourth down and 7.

But there was enough time left in the half for South to put together another scoring drive, tying the game at 21 with less than 10 seconds left in the half.

The second half was more lopsided. South scored twice in the third quarter, including an 85-yard touchdown play early on, to build a 14-point lead.

The Colts got to within a single

possession when Corbin Williams ran for a 58-yard touchdown, cutting South’s lead to 35-28. That was as close as the Colts would get to the Cougars, who responded with a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns to go up 20 points.

Campus got a final score with a fourth-down touchdown pass from Jay to Christian Sicard that made it 48-35 with 3:58 to play. The Cougars added a final touchdown with 1:31 to go.

Williams led the Colts’ offense with 86 rushing yards on five carries. Buckles had 17 carries for 72 yards, Jay added 44 yards, and Tate Rico ran for 24 yards. The Colts ran for a total of 242 yards to 125 for South. South dominated the passing game, with 249 yards to 86 for the Colts, who connected on just 2 of 17 pass attempts.

Campus (1-2) was to play Maize South this week. Andover was to visit next week, a replacement opponent for Wichita Northwest after the Wichita City League first announced its teams would only play league contests. Campus is a member of the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League.

Campus’ next scheduled varsity game is set for Oct. 9, when the Colts host the rival Derby Panthers.

Indians tame Wildcats for big win

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

It’s hard to recall the last time Clearwater had back-to-back wins over the Mulvane Wildcats.

It will be hard to forget last Friday’s 61-14 win at Mulvane, the Indians’ second straight win over their Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League rival.

Clearwater scored five times in the first quarter alone for a 34-0 lead, and by halftime led 54-7.

Tanner Cash and Lane Pierce both had big games, with Cash running for three touchdowns and throwing for two more. Lane Pierce had 129 receiving yards, with two touchdown catches from two quarterbacks as well as a 41-yard fumble return for a touchdown in the first quarter.

Mulvane has struggled this season. After

graduating more than 20 seniors, they were young and short on confidence after two prior blowouts.

The Wildcats have been hurt by injuries, and started their third-string quarterback.

Cash got things going with touchdown runs of 39 and 5 yards. He then hooked up with Pierce for a 36-yard touchdown pass. Then came Pierce’s fumble return for a 28-0 lead. That was followed a few minutes later by Nick Warren’s punt return for a touchdown.

Cash started the second quarter with a 4-yard touchdown to make it 40-0.

Mulvane found a small ray of hope right after that, with an 80-yard kickoff return. But the Indians rattled off two more scores before halftime. Brett Noland returned a blocked punt 31 yards for a score. Nick Warren then caught Cash’s second touch-

down pass of the game, a 72-yard score that gave Clearwater a 54-7 halftime lead.

Pierce caught a 33-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Fugarino in the third quarter. Mulvane added a late touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Cash passed for 197 yards, going 8-for-13, while Fugarino went 2-for-3 for 64 yards. In addition to Pierce’s gamehigh 129 yards, Warren had two catches for 77 yards. Clearwater had passed for around 200 yards by midway through the second quarter, when they began to dial back their attack.

Cash was the Indians’ top rusher, gaining 78 yards. The team actually logged just 70 total rushing yards, losing 23 yards on a handful plays to offset the 99 yards on positive-yardage runs.

Clearwater begins district play this Friday against Trinity Academy.

The Knights are 1-2 and are struggling with a low number of players on the roster. The overall district schedule will be difficult, however. Class 3A District 7 features four teams that are 4-0, as Andale, Collegiate and Hesston are undefeated, as is Clearwater. Halstead stands at 4-1.

“We’ve got to get better at a lot of things.

We’ve got to get better at running against some of these fronts,” Indians head coach Jeremy Scheufler said.

The passing game has improved. Cash has thrown for more than 800 yards just three games into as a season. As a sophomore, he passed for 760 yards for the entire season. The Indians expect teams like Andale and Collegiate will put a lot of pressure on the quarterback.

Kickoff will be at 7 p.m., after the homecoming ceremony.

Soccer

Colts hand Eisenhower season’s first loss

By Sam Jack TSnews

On Sept. 15, the Eisenhower Tigers boys soccer team suffered its first loss of the season, a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Campus Colts. The game was a rematch of the Goddard/ Campus Tournament semifinal, when Eisenhower bested Campus in a penalty kick shootout and went on to win the tournament title.

Eisenhower scored first on Sept. 15, off of a penalty kick, but the Colts soon leveled the score with a PK of their own. The Colts scored again to make it 2-1 at

halftime, then scored once more in the second half.

“It was a very similar game to the week before, when we played them in the tournament,” said Colts head coach Casey Reece. “We had moments where we really controlled the game; they had moments where they controlled it. I think the different is, they pulled ahead early last week and we had to fight from behind. This game was a similar story, but flip the script.”

Alec Hinojos, Roman Mendez and Hassan AlAmood scored the goals for Campus, while Isaac Shumaker scored for EHS.

“We’ve got about four injuries right now, so we were a little short-handed, but we played hard,” said Tigers head coach Roger Downing. “I was pretty happy with all my freshman that played, my underclassmen.”

On Sept. 17, the Tigers improved to 6-1 on the season with a 4-3 win over Hutchinson. Shumaker scored twice, while Carlos Vidrio and Devin Hake had a goal apiece. Hake also had three assists, and Trey Harris had one assist.

“We were down 3-1, and it was kind of cool to see my kids battle back, come back and win,” Downing

said. “I think we played 20 different guys that night. ... You don’t really know what your kids have in them until those situations come up, so that was cool to see.”

Also on Sept. 17, the Campus Colts got a 2-1 win over the Andover Central Jaguars.

The Jaguars went out to a 1-0 lead early in the game, and kept that lead until there were 13 minutes left on the clock, when Tate Shelman scored to level the contest.

The go-ahead goal for the Colts came with just 2 minutes left to play, on a free kick by Alec Hinojos.

“It was a free kick from probably 40 yards out,” Reece said. “It got pretty crowded in the box there when he sent it in, and I think their keeper just lost track of the ball, and it ended up bouncing into the goal. That game could’ve gone either way.”

After halftime, Reece switched Hassan AlAmood to midfield and put Alaa Al-Amood at striker.

“That kind of changed things for us: We started getting some better possession by doing that, and started getting more shots on goal,” Reece said.

The Goddard Lions

played Maize South on Sept. 15, suffering a 10-0 mercy rule loss.

On Tuesday, the Colts played at Andover; look for results next week. On Sept. 29, the team travels to Maize, and on Oct. 1 they host Newton.

The Tigers played at Salina South on Tuesday; look for results next week.

The next games on the team’s schedule are Sept.

29 at Andover Central and Oct. 1 at Arkansas City.

The Lions hosted Hutchinson on Tuesday.

On Sept. 29, they are slated to host Valley Center, and on Oct. 1 they will be at home versus Andover.

Cheney golfers win at Kingman, third at home

By Michael Buhler TSnews

The Cheney Cardinals girls golf team has had a strong stretch on the links of late, winning the Kingman Invitational last Thursday and taking third at its own invitational at Cherry Oaks to open this week. The Cardinals also took third at the Pratt invite last Monday.

“The girls enjoyed Kingman,” Cheney coach Tim Hiebert said. “There were some low scores, the weather was perfect for a golf tournament and the girls played with some confidence.”

The Cardinals dominated at Kingman, as Kaitlyn Fowler won with a 43, Hallie Jones took second with a 45, Morgan Sutter was third at 47, Payton Ryba tied for fourth with a 49 and Jalyn Turner finished sixth with a score of 51. Natalie Burdick placed ninth with a score of 56.

Burdick tied for 20th with a score of 56, while Kennedy Middleton tied for 22nd with a score of 57 and Hayley Sutter placed 28th with a score of 60.

Clearwater wins two of three at Belle Plaine invite

By Michael Buhler TSnews

The Clearwater Indians volleyball team turned in a solid week on the court last week, winning two of three games at the Belle Plaine invitational last Saturday and also splitting a triangular with Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League Division IV foes Wellington and Circle last Tuesday – including taking the Thunderbirds to three sets before falling 21-25, 25-19, 21-25.

The Indians also went three sets with Wellington, winning that match 25-23, 23-25, 25-22.

“Forcing a third set with Circle last Tuesday was a big moment for us,” Clearwater coach Adrienne Noland said. “They are always an outstanding program, and they don’t get pushed into a deciding set very often. We were error high during that match, but errors increase when we’re taking big shots and fighting for every point.

Ultimately, they had fewer errors than we did, and that decided the match.”

Carlee Lill led Clearwater with 20 kills last Tuesday while Brynne Noland added 14 kills and five aces. Defensively, Ariah McCoy picked up 31 digs behind junior blockers Laurel Streit, Brooke Berlin, and Tess Winter. That trio tallied 15 total blocks on the night.

At Belle Plaine, the Indians downed Wellington 25-21, 25-12 and Wichita Independent 25-13, 25-9, but fell to the host school 20-25, 18-25. As with many tournaments this year, teams only competed in pool play at Belle Plaine.

Lill led Clearwater with 24 kills on the day at Belle Plaine, while setter Makenzie Haslett added seven aces and 48 assists. Brynne Noland and Parker Stevens led with 17 and 16 digs, respectively.

The Indians headed to Rose Hill to face off with the hosts and Mulvane earlier this week, and finish the week with a quadrangular at Campus on Saturday before hosting Augusta and Winfield on Tuesday.

Owls, Cardinals both fall to Maize South The Garden Plain Owls and Cheney Cardinals both suffered their first losses of the season last Thursday, when they both lost to Maize South in a modified quadrangular at Cheney. The Cardinals lost to the Mavericks 28-26, 16-25, 11-25, while Garden Plain fell 11-25, 10-25.

Both Cheney and the Owls also played Rose Hill last Thursday, with the Cardinals winning 25-20, 28-26 and the Owls coming away with a 25-16, 25-

22 win over the Rockets.

Despite losing to a larger school in Maize South, Cheney coach Sara Walkup was pleased with her squad’s effort.

“I thought we played pretty competitive last Thursday at home,” Walkup said. “We had to fight our way to a win in two sets against Rose Hill and played Maize South

close in three sets. We got in kind of a passing funk and couldn’t quite get out of it in the end. I thought my setter Brooklyn Wewe was very good, running all over the place, chasing down balls to keep us swinging. And Olivia Albers had some great big swings for us on the outside and out of the back row that gave us a boost

when we needed it.”

Meanwhile, Garden Plain coach Gina Clark also was pleased with her team’s effort, especially against Rose Hill, when the Owls rallied from an 11-16 deficit in the second set to win.

“I thought we did a nice job coming out in the first set against Rose Hill ready to play and that showed

in the score,” Clark said.

“The second set, I thought Rose Hill stepped up their game, and we found ourselves down at one point, but the kids rallied back and fought to win the set.

I thought we got rattled early in our confidence against Maize South, and then just couldn’t shake that off. They are by far the best blocking team that

Burden 25-18, 25-9, Cedar Vale/Dexter 25-12, 25-12 and Sedan 25-13, 25-20 last Tuesday to improve to 3-0 in league play. However, the Raiders could not keep that momentum going last Saturday at the Dexter tournament, falling to Flinthills 15-25, 26-24, 22-25 and the Wichita Warriors 25-23, 20-25, 13-25. Those losses were sandwiched around a 2518, 25-9 win over Central Burden.

The Raiders swept a triangular against Caldwell (25-10, 25-6) and South Barber (25-10, 25-11) on Monday to open this week and improve to 8-4 on the season. Argonia took on Oxford and West Elk the next evening and are in the Central tournament on Saturday at Attica before hosting another triangular on Tuesday.

we’ve met this season, so the good part of that is we learned that we have to make shots, hit some high hands, and work around those blockers. That match gave us a laundry list of things to work on including our mental toughness.”

Brooke Hammond had 10 kills and 11 digs against the Rockets, while Christia Rose Gorges had three blocks, Madysen Zoglman added 19 assists, and two Owls – Alli and Sydney Puetz – each had 10 digs.

The Owls play a best-offive match at Hesston on Thursday and will play in a tournament-turned-modified quad at Douglass on Saturday. Meanwhile, Cheney headed into Wichita to start the week by playing Andale and host Bishop Carroll, then will play in its own tournament-turned-double quad on Saturday against Pratt, Wellington and Collegiate.

The Cardinals also head to Kingman on Tuesday to take on Chaparral and the host school.

Conway Springs gets first win

The Conway Springs Cardinals had a mixed weekend performance last Saturday at the Chaparral tournament, going 1-2 on the day. The Cardinals downed Medicine Lodge 25-15, 25-12 – the team’s first win of the season – but lost to Pretty Prairie 13-25, 22-25 and host Chaparral 9-25, 17-25.

Conway Springs also was slated to play last

Tuesday, but the match did not happen “due to failed communications,” head coach April Zoglmann said.

Lauren Mercer had five aces and eight digs against Medicine Lodge, while Kyla Echelberry had six kills. Echelberry and Tatum Wykes each had three kills against Chaparral, while Mercer had eight more digs.

“We came out very strong against Medicine Lodge,” Zoglmann said.

“We served and passed very well, which helped get our offense going.

But we struggled against Pretty Prairie’s serves, and they found holes in our defense. We came out flat against Chaparral and struggled with our blocking and defense.”

The Cardinals hosted Wichita Home School and Wichita Independent earlier this week and head to Olpe on Saturday to take on Wabaunsee, Goessel and host Olpe.

Tigers hit rough patch The Eisenhower Tigers had a long week on the court last week, falling to Andover Central and Salina Central in a triangular last Tuesday at Salina, then going 0-3 in a tournament/modified quad at Maize last Saturday.

Eisenhower lost to Andover Central 20-25, 25-23, 10-25 and Salina Central 25-14, 23-25, 25-27 last Tuesday, then suffered a pair of three-set

losses last Saturday. The Tigers lost to Derby 22-25, 25-23, 21-15, then fell to Garden City 25-20, 18-25, 16-25 and to Newton 1425, 25-27 “We have been playing very inconsistently lately,” Eisenhower coach Shelby Allee said. “We have moments of brilliance; then we fall apart. We are having trouble on the offensive side of things, but our defense has been keeping us in games. I have been really impressed with my libero, Anicia Tyson-Salas.

She has really stepped up her play from last year.”

The Tigers hosted Goddard and Andover earlier this week and head to Newton on Saturday before hosting Andover Central and Andover on Tuesday.

Colts drop league triangular The Campus Colts dropped their only two matches last week, losing to AVCTL Division I foes Newton and Maize last Tuesday. The Colts lost to Newton 14-25, 20-25 and fell to Maize 11-25, 21-25.

Taryn Kondo led the Colts with 14 kills and 10 digs on the evening, while Reece Likes had 24 assists and Mak O’Bryan had six blocks and two aces.

“We had a few girls really stand out,” Campus coach Mary Askren said.

The Colts took on Maize South and Derby earlier this week, and host Clearwater, Rose Hill and

Arkansas City for a quad on Saturday. Campus hosts Salina South and Maize South on Tuesday.

“I look forward to seeing the girls continue to improve throughout this week,” Askren said.

Raiders stay perfect in league play The Argonia Raiders had a mixed week on the court last week, sweeping a South Central Border League quad last Tuesday but losing two of three matches at the Dexter tournament.

Argonia downed Central

The Goddard Lions returned to the court earlier this week after a 10-day scheduled layoff and are currently in the midst of a six-game homestand.

After earning their first win of the season on Sept. 12 at the Arkansas City tournament, the Lions returned to the court earlier this week by hosting an AVCTL Division II triangular with Andover and Eisenhower. Goddard hosts Great Bend and Hutchinson in a non-league triangular on Thursday and concludes the homestand Tuesday with league foes Arkansas City and Salina Central.

Cards From Page B1 whose goal line interception of Voth cut short another promising drive

by Cheney.

Wehrman said the Cardinals did not make many adjustments after halftime.

“I felt that we started off really passive and unsure of ourselves, and Garden Plain was ready to play. I was really impressed with the way our guys turned it around and started playing,” he said. “I think it was more confidence. We just talked about the first half and how we started figuring things out.”

Wehrman was pleased with the team’s defensive line play and how it adjusted to the Owls’ power run game, which had success early.

Adelhardt felt the Owls’ run defense was solid most of the night. He said

the Owls were unable to pressure Voth, and that Cheney’s offensive and defensive lines played well.

“They made some great catches, but we sure didn’t make it hard for them,” he said.

Wehrman said Voth did well at making reads and finding his receivers, who also made a number of stellar catches.

Adelhardt said the Owls needed to adjust better to the Cardinals’ style.

After facing a pair of run oriented teams, the Owls were too aggressive in the secondary and got burned.

“Our aggressiveness, which is so good, was used against us,” he said.

Both teams head into district play next week, with Cheney in Class 3A District 8 and Garden Plain in 2A District 6.

The Cardinals will have games against Hugoton, Pratt, Holcomb, Nickerson and Larned. Nickerson is the only familiar oppo-

nent, as Panthers and Cardinals have recently been in the same district.

Cheney hosts Hugoton this Friday. The Eagles are 2-1 with two straight

wins, and are coming off a 63-13 win over Guymon, Okla., last week. They beat Ulysses with a number of players and several coaches in quarantine.

The Cardinals will continue to target multiple receivers. They had seven players with catches against Garden Plain.

“We’re not relying on

The Owls’ Francis Stuhlsatz gets around a Cheney defender for a big first-half gain during Garden Plain’s home game against the Cardinals.

any one person. It’s a luxury,” Wehrman said.

The Owls are looking at what lessons they can learn from last week’s loss.

Adelhardt said the offense is still working to execute the way the coaches would like.

“Preseason is over for us. We would like to have beat Cheney, but preseason is over now,” he said.

“One of our kids said, ‘If you don’t lose, you don’t learn.’”

Garden Plain’s district foes have a strong Central Plains League flavor with Douglass, Belle Plaine, longtime district foe Chaparral, relatively new CPL member Kingman and former league foe Bluestem.

The Owls go to Douglass this week to take on the Bulldogs, whose 3-0 record so far matches their total victories from 2019.

Douglass has had just one winning season since 2014, going 7-2 in 2018.

Drawing some positive energy from the ‘festival that wasn’t’

The first thing I noticed when I set foot Saturday on the grounds of the Walnut Valley Festival down in Winfield was how clean the bathrooms were.

“This is the cleanest this bathroom has been in 45 years,” I told Kim as I emerged from the men’s room under the north end of the grandstand at the Cowley County Fairgrounds. I’ve been attending the Walnut Valley Festival for all those years, and I was amazed.

And the clean bathrooms weren’t the only things of note as Kim and I made our way around the festival grounds, hushed this year because of the COVID-19 virus.

The festival would have happened this past week, and we would have been on and off the festival site since Labor Day weekend.

We had gone to Winfield to see just how many folks had come to the festival site anyway this past weekend.

And sure enough, several hundred people had done just that.

So on Saturday, Kim and I wanted to pay tribute to this amazing gathering of music fans, and see for ourselves who was there.

We didn’t even make it to Winfield before we started running into old friends.

As we drove through Oxford, Kim saw numerous campers at the RV park south of the highway. We wheeled in and realized that a number of festival fans had chosen to camp there for this unofficial pilgrimage. Oxford is a spillover area for the festival eight miles down the road, and has great camping accommodations.

Kim immediately spied our friend Tim Henry, a

Cheney resident who is known for his camp feasts at the bluegrass festival.

And sure enough, the first thing he did was offer us food – left over cheese grits and shrimp from the night before, and one of his signature cheesecakes.

This one was chocolate and raspberry.

Just down the lane, our old friend Teresa Coleman, who used to live in Cheney and now resides in Derby, also was camping in Oxford. She and her husband Jack, who died just a couple of years ago, were always regulars at the festival over the decades I’ve been attending.

We had an emotional reunion with Teresa, who we hadn’t seen since before the pandemic, and got caught up on her move to Derby and other big changes in her life. I used to see Teresa almost every week before she moved to Derby, and it was a wonderful surprise to find her in Oxford Saturday.

Over in Winfield, it was a breeze wheeling onto the fairgrounds. During the festival, you either have to spend an hour or more getting in the main gate, or work your way through one of the other re-entry gates to the festival.

Again, a pleasant change.

We rode our bicy-

cles around the festival grounds without interruption, which cannot happen during the festival.

Those areas are tight with security, and bicycles have to stay outside those gates and can only be ridden to and from camping areas.

Our last search for friends was the Bennett-Colby Camp and Dear Friends, where the Bennetts and Prillimans from Conway Springs and Cheney and the McLemores from Clearwater are always on hand. But surprise – it was the Canopy Camp from the primitive camping area on the far north end of the fairgrounds where Kim and I and our family now camp each year.

We had a great visit with the Canopy Camp clan, and they explained that they had come down for the week and of course took advantage of the fact that you could literally camp anywhere, with power, without the hassle of going through the Festival’s annual Land Rush for campsites a week before

the festival.

Again, another pleasant change for these folks.

Before we left, Kim and I decided to get an Indian taco from a regular food vendor who had decided to come to the festival to make a few bucks. There was no line, and no waiting for my food.

Yep. Something else to grin about.

But come next year, the third weekend in September, we will all gladly give up every positive aspect of this year’s unofficial festival gathering to experience the real thing. The dirty bathrooms, the Land Rush scramble for choice campsites, the long lines for food, and the even longer lines just to get on the festival grounds are all worth it.

Those things – together with the music and the annual rekindling of some amazing friendships – are what make the Walnut Valley Festival the unique experience so many people flock to each year.

Even when there isn’t an official festival to attend.

Should I buy long-term care insurance?

Dear Savvy Senior, My wife and I have thought about purchasing a long-term care insurance policy, but we hate the idea of paying expensive monthly premiums for a policy we may never use. Is there a good rule of thumb on who should or shouldn’t buy long-term care insurance?

Getting Old Dear Getting, There are two key factors you need to consider that can help you determine if purchasing a long-term care (LTC) insurance policy is a smart decision for you and your wife. One factor is your financial situation and second is your health history.

Currently, around 8 million Americans own a policy.

As the cost of LTC – which includes nursing home, assisted living and in-home care – continues to rise, it’s important to know that most people pay for LTC either from personal savings or Medicaid when their savings is depleted, or through a LTC insurance policy. National median average costs for nursing home care today is around $92,000 per year, while assisted living averages around $50,000/year.

While national statistics show that about 70 percent of Americans 65 and older will need some kind of LTC, the fact is, many people don’t need to purchase a LTC insurance policy.

The reasons stem from a range of factors, including the fact that relatively few people have enough wealth to protect to make purchasing a policy worthwhile. Seniors with limited financial resources who need LTC turn to Medicaid to pick up the tab after they run out of money.

Another important factor is that most seniors who need LTC only need it for a short period of time, for example, when they’re recovering from surgery.

For those people, Medicare covers in-home health care and nursing home stays of 100 days or less following a hospital stay of more than 3 consecutive days.

So, who should consider buying a policy?

Savvy Senior

Jim Miller | Columnist

LTC insurance policies make the most sense for people who can afford the monthly premiums, and who have assets of at least $150,000 to $200,000 or more that they want to protect, not counting their home and vehicles.

Another factor to weigh is your personal health and family health history.

The two most common reasons seniors need extended long-term care is because of dementia and/or disability. And, almost half of all people who live in nursing homes are 85 years or older. So, what’s your family history for Alzheimer’s, stroke or some other disabling health condition, and do you have a family history of longevity?

You also need to factor in gender too. Because women tend to live longer than men, they are at greater risk of needing extended LTC. After evaluating your situation, if you’re leaning towards buying a LTC policy, be sure to do your homework. The cost of premiums can vary greatly ranging anywhere between $2,500 and $8,000 per year for a couple depending on your age, the insurer, and the policy’s provisions.

Also note that because of coronavirus, it may be more difficult to qualify for coverage now if you’re age 70 or older, in a highrisk group or have had a positive COVID-19 test.

To find a policy, get a LTC insurance specialist who works with a variety of companies. See the American Association of Long-Term Care Insurance website (AALTCI. org) to locate one. Also shop insurers like Northwestern Mutual and New York Life, who work only with their own agents.

Another option you may want to consider are Hybrid policies that combine long-term care coverage with life-insurance benefits. These policies promise that if you don’t end up needing long-term care, your beneficiaries will receive a death benefit.

Time commitment not a deal-’baker’ for no-bake pie Fire burns roundtop

Spice Up Your Life

Lindsey Young

As a general rule, when I see the words “no-bake” in the title of a recipe, I assume I’m about to have a really easy time in the kitchen.

Those are the types of recipes I save for when I need a quick dessert to bring at the last second.

Well, this week’s recipe completely defies its nobake moniker, my friends.

I’m a little embarrassed to tell you that I started this recipe on a weekend and didn’t finish it until the end of the next week.

Despite that—and I mean this seriously—you absolutely have to try this.

It’s delicious and created a pie that was completely demolished during a backyard get-together.

This no-bake monstrosity comes from the blog “Kitchen Fun with My Three Sons.” You can find the original at https:// kitchenfunwithmy3sons. com/no-bake-chocolate-peanut-butter-pie. I added extra vanilla in my version, and while calories are the least of your problem with this pie, you can substitute fat-free cream cheese and whipped

No-bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Crust Ingredients 15 to 20-ounce package double-stuffed Oreos 1/4 cup mini M&Ms 1/2 cup butter, melted Filling Ingredients 16 ounces cream cheese, softened 1 cup creamy peanut butter 8 ounces whipped topping 1/4 cup mini M&Ms Ganache Ingredients 1-1/2 semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus a handful for sprinkling) 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream 1/4 cup mini M&Ms Frosting Ingredients 1/2 cup butter, softened 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter 2 teaspoons vanilla 1 cup powdered sugar 3 to 5 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Directions For the crust, pulverize the entire package of Oreos with a blender or food processor. In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, butter and M&Ms until everything is well mixed, and press the mixture into a 9- to 10-inch springform pan (or a pie pan, but the springform is so much easier!), going up the sides.

Place the crust in the fridge for 30 minutes.

For the filling, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the whipped topping, and then fold in the M&Ms. Spread the filling evenly over the crust, and refrigerate for one hour.

For the ganache, combine the chocolate chips and cream into a glass bowl and microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between each, until the mixture is smooth. Pour the ganache over top of the filling and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the top with chocolate chips and M&Ms, and refrigerate for another hour.

For the final step, beat all the frosting ingredients until it’s fluffy, and then transfer to a piping bag or a plastic bag with the tip cut off to pipe the frosting around the edges of the pie. Or, if you’re exhausted at this point, just spread it on there and decorate with a couple more M&Ms and call it good.

Serve immediately and keep any leftovers in the refrigerator.

This no-bake chocolate peanut butter pie has quite a few steps that require refrigeration in between, so have plenty of time to prepare—and plenty of people to enjoy—this decadent dessert.

I highly encourage you to cut this pie into small slices, as it is sinfully rich.

Joey called it comical after it was finally done.

It would absolutely be a show stopper for a birthday celebration.

And even though it took me a few evenings

to finally get through all the steps, it was worth it, especially since I might have “accidentally” purchased too many M&Ms and had to clean those up myself. Waste not, want not, right?

New progress, old memories

Construction is underway on the new municipal swimming pool in Conway Springs. That led Conway Springs native Brad Cline to share a family photo from the old pool.

Pictured are his uncle R.H. Hale, and Hale’s sons David and Jonathan (maybe), Cline noted. The estimated time frame is the late 1950s or early 1960s.
