Family helps rescue horses By Michelle Leidy-Franklin Star-Argosy
The Argonia Youth Group will run the concession stand both nights, raising funds for their yearly mission trip.
Ben and Cortney Forrest of Conway Springs recently adopted four horses from Valley Center’s Hope in the Valley Equine Rescue and Sanctuary. The Forrests have three children and recently acquired 30 acres –
enough space to enjoy the animals, and to properly care for them. “The kids like it. They’re enjoying it,” said Ben Forrest. Ben Forrest grew up spending a lot of time in the Conway Springs area. His family moved to town when he was younger, and his three younger siblings graduated from Conway Springs High School. He
has an uncle living in town, and his mother is originally from Argonia. His mother has also adopted horses from the same rescue center. “She loves horses,” said Forrest. The Forrests adopted a large black male horse named Bosco, who had been received at the res-

Car show in Caldwell Saturday, Sept. 1, marks the 31st annual All Wheels Super Saturday Car Show in Caldwell, sponsored by the Border Queen Cruisers. Registration for the show begins at 8 a.m. The show draws car enthusiasts from all over Kansas, Missouri, Colorado and Nebraska to Caldwell City Park. The annual $300 Poker Cruise will begin at 1:30 p.m. and will make several stops before ending up back at City Park. Besides being car buffs, the Border Queen Cruisers are community service oriented. They have donated thousands of dollars and hours of time to help promote the community. The car show plays a large part in efforts to raise money for projects such as the cemetery kiosk at Caldwell City Cemetery. This year, a large portion of money raised has gone to the Caldwell Historical Society to help repair the back wall of the local opera house.

From August 1948 Circus Time hit Conway Springs with double force on Saturday, Aug. 7, when the CSHS class of 1946 held its first class reunion in St. Joseph’s school auditorium. The Circus Time theme of the class reunion was directly in keeping with the Seal Brothers circus, which had moved into town for the day. James Small, president of the class, acted as ringmaster and presided as master of ceremonies. Wanda Sneed, Don Little, and Alleyene Burnett added the Call to the Circus with special solos for the program following the banquet.

Conway Country Estates addition planned By Sam Jack Star-Argosy sjack@tsnews.com A developer is planning to offer five residential lots on currently agricultural land southeast of Conway Springs. Conway Country Estates will be located on the east side of Caldwell Road just south of Slate Creek, near 80th Avenue. The Sumner County Planning Commission approved the final plat for the addition, and the Sumner County Board of Commissioners is expected to
approve it Sept. 17. The lots will range in size from 13 to 20 acres. “They’ll sell pretty easily, because they’re small acreage for out in the country homes,” said developer Van Tarr. “A lot of people are looking for that, and it’s just hard to find.” David Leistikow, the landowner, lives in Colorado. Tarr is from Mulvane.

A housewarming gift with benefits Last week Kim and I spent a few days in Sacramento, Calif., visiting my son and his wife. Bill and Eun-Ah just bought a house in Sacramento, and our visit was the first chance to see their house, other than pictures and a walkthrough video. The kids are excited to own their own home, and in California, that’s no small feat. But they did well. It’s a beautiful starter home that’s been nicely remodeled, and has a nice mid-century modern feel to it. They’re excited to own their first home, and they should be. The change has been dramatic, since it involved a move from the San Francisco Bay Area to Sacramento, and some adjustment for my son Bill, who is commuting back to the Bay Area some days for work. Still, they are really happy with what Sacramento has to offer them in terms of their leisure time, community amenities, restaurants and easy access around the city. I noticed some similarities to Wichita in terms of the size of the city, its division into west, east and midtown areas, a river that helps create those boundaries, and relatively easy traffic flow. Bill was able to take some time off work, and we were able to explore Sacramento and do several fun things. We visited old Sacramento, which is filled with historic buildings from the city’s early days; we toured the California State Capitol and its incredible grounds; we hiked the American River; and we did some estate sale shopping, California style. The estate sale shopping was something we wanted to do from the get-go, since Kim and I have a booth at a Wichita antique mall. It was a fun experience, and we now know that estate sales in California are managed very differently from estate sales here in the Wichita area. Here, sales usually run three days and are full price the first day, 25 percent off the second day, and 50 percent off the third day. In California, there rarely are set discount days, but on the final day of the sale you are encouraged to “haggle” on prices. Alrighty, then…bring on the final day of the sale!
From the Editor’s Files
Paul Rhodes | Publisher & Editor
There were a lot of sales available in and around Sacramento, but unfortunately there was only one sale that was ending on Saturday, which was our day to shop. We visited some other sales and purchased a few things, but this particular sale was our “honey hole” for the day – and our final stop. By then, Bill and Eunah were starting to get into the groove of estate sale shopping. Since they were just shopping for themselves and not an antiques booth, they were pretty selective on their purchases. And we certainly didn’t want to push them, since a lot of people are put off at the thought of shopping estate sales in the first place. At this final sale, however, Bill and Eun-ah were all in. They found a beautiful loveseat sleeper that was nearly new, almost never used, and priced pretty reasonably. This loveseat was $2,000, according to the owners, and we haggled them down to a very reasonable price of $150, which I happily paid as a housewarming gift to my son and daughter-in-law. All we had to do was get this big piece of furniture home. My son had a little buyer’s remorse until we found a truck to rent cheap at a Home Depot, and with relative ease we had the sofa back at his house and settled into a spot in what will be their family room once they get more settled in. Kim and I even returned the truck and retrieved Bill’s car so he could decompress from the whole whirlwind experience. At our layover at the Dallas Airport the next day, I got a text from my daughter-in-law: “We are sitting on and admiring the couch right now. Been lounging and reading on it all morning…it’s so comfortable! It will certainly motivate us to get the family room cleaned up.” How about that…a housewarming gift with benefits.

Cheese and thank you
Dairy important economically, nutritionally What would a sweltering summer day be like without an occasional stop at the local ice cream parlor for a couple scoops? Can you imagine eating piping hot chocolate cookies without a frosty glass of milk? Imagine sipping a buttery glass of chardonnay without a couple of pieces of aged cheddar. Every day in this great country of ours we can partake of these wholesome, nutritious dairy products; but if there were no dairy farmers, dairy cows or dairy industry, there would be none of these tasty treats. Dairy products remain a major source of nutrients in our daily diets. If they’re not, they should be. To find another source for the 300 milligrams of calcium found in either an eight-ounce glass of milk, a cup of yogurt or 1-1/2 ounces of natural cheese, the average person would have to graze on eight cups of spinach, six cups of pinto beans or two and one-half cups of broccoli, according to the Midwest Dairy Association. The primary nutrients found in milk and other dairy products are calcium, vitamins A and D, carbohydrates, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, riboflavin and high-quality proteins. U.S. dairy farmers provide an estimated $140 billion annually

to this nation’s economy. Dairy farmers help sustain rural America. Even considering this nation’s continuing economic challenges, dairy farmers and companies are a lifeline to 900,000 jobs in this country. Dairy is local. Dairy farm families are business owners. Every glass of milk and each dairy product produced by these family businesses brings vitality to local and state economies. Kansas farms generate approximately $537 million in milk sales annually. In Kansas, the average dairy cow produces about seven gallons of milk per day. That’s more than 2,585 gallons of milk over the course of a typical year. Growth in the Kansas dairy industry means economic growth and access

to safe dairy products for local communities and the state. The Kansas ag growth dairy strategy has identified the expansion of the influence, presence and professional standing of the Kansas dairy industry as a priority. This development has been fueled by the arrival of large-scale dairy operations, primarily in western Kansas. Milk production has doubled since 1994 and grown more than 25 percent in the last five years. There are now approximately 290 dairies in the state, milking 154,000 cows. It takes about 48 hours for milk to travel from the farm to the dairy case. As in nearly every sector of the agricultural industry, the United States has more milk production than any other country in the world. This country has six major breeds of dairy cattle: Holstein, Jersey, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Ayrshire and Milking Shorthorn.
Answers
to
Dairy cows begin producing milk after they calve, when they are about two years old. Most cows are milked twice a day in modern milking facilities that incorporate gentle machines attached and removed by dairy farmers. Today, all milk sold in grocery stores is pasteurized during processing. During pasteurization, milk is briefly heated to a temperature high enough to destroy bacteria without affecting its flavor or food value. Yes, since the first cow arrived in the Jamestown Colony back in 1611, America’s dairy farmers have been helping provide a healthy, nutritious food product. So, fill your glass with milk every day. Dip a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream on that piece of apple pie. Cut another slice of cheese for a summer snack. And give thanks to Kansas and America’s dairy farmers.

It was just, ‘This is what I need to be doing,’” he said. Linville is still learning about the Argonia community and his congregation. “They’re already really
scripturally focused, and they want to impact the community, so that’s stuff that I’m lining up with,” he said. “I want to just expound on that even more,

cue center with significant injuries and allergies. Bosco was from Texas and had been through one of the recent floods. During the flood, Bosco ran through some trees, hit one and broke his scapula and sinus cavity under his left eye. A hole can still be seen in his face. Bosco was also allergic to the type of hay they grow in Texas, and the rescue center found he did well once he was received in Kansas and his diet was changed. The Forrests also adopted a sibling set of smaller Haflinger horses that needed a home together. Whisper, Marvin and Dolly were taken in by the rescue when their elderly owner passed away. Originally show horses living in Missouri, the siblings have bonded, and their adoption was contingent on them all going together.

“The owner’s daughter contacted us, looking for information about what to do with the horses. We told her we would take them and make sure they were adopted together,” said Ande Armstrong, founder and president of the rescue. Hope in the Valley Equine Rescue and Sanctuary has been in operation for 13 years. They take in horses from all over the country. They also work with Sedgwick County to provide shelter for horses that have been picked up through animal control, and to provide temporary holding for the county sheriff ’s office. Horses come to them because of abuse, neglect, property seizures, owner relinquishments, and
abandonment. Some are even bought from local kill pens with money donated to prevent them from being sent to Mexico to be slaughtered for human consumption. “We save as many as we can. It’s hard for us to say no,” said Armstrong. This year, it has been difficult for the rescue center to keep up with the need. Armstrong says the rescue usually hosts around 65 head of horses, but can currently only care for about 40 because of a hay shortage. “We just can’t take more. We have people calling every day,” said Armstrong. For information on how to adopt a horse, or how to donate or sell hay to the rescue, contact Armstrong at 316-519-4129.

Cardinals will rely on new players to maintain success By Travis Mounts Star-Argosy news@tsnews.com There’s a lot of uncertainty around the Central Plains League. The top teams – Conway Springs, Garden Plain, Chaparral and Cheney – all are dealing with the loss of key players. The Conway Springs Cardinals are returning five players on each side of the ball, which means there are six new starters on both offense and defense. “We lost a lot of threeyear starters. We need kids to step up to see what happens,” said head coach Matt Biehler. The Cardinals have the best history of reloading, and many other coaches expect Conway Springs to be the team to chase. But there’s additional uncertainty as teams deal with new districts and some new opponents. Sweeping changes to the football classification
system have teams like Conway Springs, Garden Plain and Chaparral moving to Class 2A, with some other Central Plains League teams – like former district foe Cheney – remaining at 3A. Teams now play three non-district games before embarking on a five-game district schedule. Everybody still plays on Week 9, but for the top four teams in each district, that game is their playoff opener. The bottom two teams will face opponents from a neighboring district that also are out of the playoff hunt, hopefully creating some balanced matchups. Conway Springs’ new district keeps longtime foes Garden Plain and Chaparral as well as CPL member Independent. The Cardinals will play Hutchinson Trinity and Remington, teams that also have moved down to 2A. The season opens with a road game at Wichita
Trinity followed by a home game with Cheney. Then Kingman – a new member of the CPL – comes to town. But league play now means a whole lot less in football; the CPL is not crowning a champion this season. “It’s exciting us,” Biehler said about their old district with Cheney, Garden Plain and Chaparral. “For 5-6 years, we’ve just been playing a league schedule (in district play) and we’ve been eliminating each other. I feel like we have a good league.” The past two years, the Cardinals’ old district was considered the best in 3A and among the most competitive at all levels. Over the last two years, each team in the former district has missed the playoffs with a squad that would likely have won any other district in 3A. Biehler said he likes the new five-game district format. Also new is the elimination of the
Tuesday-Saturday playoff schedule, where teams could play three games in 10 days as the regular season ended. “You better play at the top of your game each week,” Biehler said. It should make for some good playoff Fridays. It’s very exciting.” The Cardinals will be led this year by returning starters and all-league players Chase Ast and Daniel Becker, both seniors and both linemen. Zach Mercer, another senior, will carry the ball a lot as starting running back. Senor Tim Berntsen is back to help anchor the line, and another senior, Aaron May, had significant varsity playing time last season. The Cardinals are looking to have several running backs carry the load. Having multiple weapons in the backfield continues to be a key part of the single-wing offense that has become the sig-
nature of Conway Springs football. Don’t look for that to change anytime soon. Biehler said the players continue to want to play that type of football, and the record of success speaks for itself. The Cardinals missed the playoffs in 2016 despite going into the last game of the season with a 2-0 record. It was the first time in about a decade that the Cardinals didn’t advance. Last year, they got back into the playoffs with a dominating regular

together as a doubles team and finished ninth. Molly Schmanke finished 11th in State singles last season. “We were third in State last year, and we’ve got a good nucleus back,” said head coach Chris Bellar. “Our goals are always to improve and see if we can compete for a top-three spot. I think this team would have the potential to make that kind of run. “We also have some
new people, as always, to step in and help out. That should make it exciting.” Junior Nicole Campbell, who earned a varsity letter last season, is back and will have opportunities to succeed. Freshman Loren May hit a lot of balls over the summer and will also get the chance to contribute. This will be the first girls’ season with expanded playing facilities. Con-

Conway Springs Star & Argonia Argosy
New players will have to step up for CS volleyball By Travis Mounts Star-Argosy news@tsnews.com
The Conway Springs Cardinals volleyball team will rely on a number of new players for success this year after losing a senior class of six athletes who dominated playing time in 2017. Head coach April Zoglmann has two returning starters on this year’s roster, outside hitter Makenzie Curry and middle hitter Kayla Koester. Both are seniors. “Makenzie is a quick, go-to hitter. She can run things or be outside, and is good on defense and the back row,” Zoglmann said. “Kayla is a solid blocker. She runs the front row very well. Her hitting is improving.”
Koester will set some as the Cardinals run a 6-2 offense, which utilizes two setters in the rotation. Another key player will be middle hitter Madison Pauly, a junior who saw some varsity time last season. “She’ll be our calming player, a quiet leader,” Zoglmann said. Rounding out the front line will be Kyla Echelberry, Alivia Lange and Karley Mooneyham. Maddie Koester and Lexi Fisher will be on the back row. “Our main focus is to be balanced and work on our ball control,” Zoglmann said. “We have some pretty good servers, and blocking will be big for us.” The coach said that, along with serving and blocking, the Cardinals are
showing strength in the hitting game. She wants to see improvement in the team’s defensive passing. Zoglmann expects Garden Plain and Wichita Trinity to be the teams that the rest of the Central Plains League chases. Right now, she said, Conway Springs would likely be picked in the middle of the pack. Success at the end of the year will depend on how much this team grows during the season. The Cardinals expect they will be in Class 2A when the new classifications are announced in a few weeks. Kansas high schools approved sweeping changes to classifications, and the Cardinals will likely change classes along with a number of other Central Plains
League teams. That should make for different-looking substates. The CPL has been one of the strongest volleyball leagues in Kansas, but recent substates essentially have been league tournaments. With nearly the entire CPL in 3A, that meant just one team advancing to State, with other deserving teams sitting at home. Last year’s substate included three teams ranked in the top 10 in 3A: Cheney, Garden Plain and Kingman. “I’m excited to go to 2A because I’m tired of playing league teams at substate,” said Zoglmann. And speaking of Kingman, the Eagles are joining the Central Plains League this year, replacing Medicine Lodge. That will add a
west-of-Wichita rivalry for Conway Springs, Cheney and Garden Plain. The Cardinals started the season at Winfield’s tournament last Saturday and went 1-4. They got a three-set win over El Dorado, 22-25, 29-27, 25-21. Conway Springs lost to Arkansas City 25-20, 18-25, 10-25; to Augusta 15-25, 18-25; to Andale 14-25, 10-25; and to Wellington

Conway Springs Star & Argonia Argosy
Titans are loaded with experience By Travis Mounts Star-Argosy news@tsnews.com
The Argonia-Attica Titans football team is bringing a lot of experience into the 2018 season. The Titans have seven returning starters on defense and six on offense. That’s a good number at any level of football, but especially so in 8-man. “We’ve got the bulk of our line back and a couple skill positions,” said cohead coach Luke Greenwood. There will be new faces at the two most critical positions on offense, quarterback and center. Blake Harnden is the leading
candidate to be under center when games begin on Friday, and Kenny McCartney will be that center. Harnden is a senior, McCartney a junor. Senior Masen McDaniel will get a lot of carries at running back. “He’ll lead on both sides of the ball. He’s one of the best 8-man players in the area,” Greenwood said. Mason Miller, a junior, is a second-year tailback who was an all-district kick returner last season. He’ll help take some of the load off the quarterback. The Titans will see some new opponents in district play. One, the Caldwell Bluejays, is a longtime foe.
The Bluejays and Argonia Raiders were regular opponents in the South Central Border League, but with the Argonia-Attica merger, the Titans became an 8-man Div. I team and no longer faced the Div. II Bluejays. South Central is is new to the schedule and has been a top team in Div. II the past couple years. And then add in Medicine Lodge, a former 11man team in the Central Plains League that has moved to 8-man ball this year. “Medicine Lodge is a wild card,” Greenwood said. “We hope we’re right up there with those three.” Sweeping changes are
impacting 11-man football from Class 4A down to the newly formed 1A, as well as 8-man football. Four teams will advance from each 8-man district, and teams have eight regular-season games on their schedules. Week 9 of the regular season will be a playoff game for the top four teams, and the No. 5 and 6 teams in each
division will play similar teams from a neighboring division. Oxford and Udall round out the Titans’ division. The Titans are one of 12 teams in the “others” ranking in Kpreps.com’s rankings, sitting just outside the top five. The

Raiders start new season in top 5 By Travis Mounts Star-Argosy news@tsnews.com
There are high expectations for this year’s Argonia volleyball team. The Raiders are ranked No. 4 in the newly constituted Class 1A, where the two divisions have been eliminated as part of sweeping classification changes approved by Kansas high schools. “I like to see our name on there...but I don’t know how accurate it is,” said head coach Hannah Hemberger. “But I see us up there.” And there are reasons for those expectations. Two of those reasons are Cora Vineyard and Baylee Booker. Vineyard, a middle hitter, was a first-team all-state and all-league
player in 2017, while setter Booker was honorable-mention all-state and first-team all-league. Both are seniors, and both have started since their freshman years. “They’re our captains and our leaders. They lead in different ways,” Hemberger said. “Baylee is more vocal and our internal leader. Cora is a ‘doing’ leader. She’ll put the ball where I need it from anywhere on the court.” Two more returning starters are sophomores Alexis Vineyard and Karrlea Hessman. Aubreigh Haxton, a sophomore, is back after suffering a midseason injury in 2017. Taylor Schulte, the team’s lone junior, is a returning defensive specialist, and freshman Chelsea Coleman is expected to
contribute. The Raiders are young, with just three seniors and one junior Kaylee Lacey is the Raiders’ other senior. Hemberger said this year’s Raiders are well ahead of last year’s team. That’s due to the experience and a lot of work over the summer. “Our volleyball IQ is so advanced from when I took over. We came in the first day and hit the ground running. Our level of play is much higher,” Hemberger said. She expects the toughest competition this year will come from South Barber, Cunningham and Udall. Those are the only three teams that beat Argonia last season. Udall won three times before the Raiders extracted some revenge at
the South Central Border League tournament. All matches went to three sets. Matches are beginning a week earlier, which shortened preseason workouts. “That was a concern for me,” Hemberger said, noting that other changes have eliminated some twoa-day workouts. “All that work is paying off.” One reason for the early start is changes in the postseason. With Class 1A’s two divisions being combined back into one, teams will now play at regional tournaments to earn the right to go to substate tournaments. It puts another hurdle to clear in the race to State tournaments, but it’s a familiar path, nearly identical to the setup before 1A split into two divisions a handful of years ago.
Argonia started the season on Tuesday at Attica, and the team will play at home on Tuesday at 6 p.m. After that comes the Norwich tournament on Sept. 8. “The girls are excited. They keep saying we’re going places,” Hemberger said of the Raiders’ prospects in 2018.
