‘Baby G’ statue installed at HWMS stadium By Sam Jack
Haysville Sun-Times sjack@tsnews.com LEFT: A miniature gorilla statue, dubbed “Baby G” now reminds Haysville West Middle School athletes to play with “PRIDE” – preparation, respect, integrity, discipline and excellence.
Haysville West Middle School’s mascot is the gorilla, and the school definitely has gorilla pride. The school’s parent-teacher organization purchased a large gorilla statue, dubbed Gregory the Gorilla, that stands in front of the school. A few weeks ago, the PTO added a second, smaller gorilla statue just outside the school’s stadium. The idea is that as teams enter the stadium complex to compete, they will tap “Baby G” on the head. The new tradition was inspired by similar rituals at colleges such as the University of Tennesee and the University of Oklahoma. HWMS principal Ildo Martins picked up the gorilla statue in his truck, and maintenance employees got it anchored in concrete.

City streets to get new mill overlay By Nancy D. Borst
Haysville Sun-Times
A lower-than-expected bid on a mill overlay project means more Haysville city streets will be improved, thanks to action taken at the Sept. 24 city council meeting. The city budgeted $126,600 for asphalt milling and overlay for Mimosa Drive and the north and west portions of the City Hall parking lot. Flint Hills Materials submitted a bid of $74,994.75 for the projects. That allowed the city to add portions of Ballard Drive and Slade Avenue to the overlay project. The total cost for the
three streets and the parking lot came to $132,338.97. Public works director Tony Martinez said when the low bid was received, staff looked at their most recent pavement rating to determine where additional work was needed most. He said the hope is that the work on Ballard Drive will eliminate most of the “wave” effect of the current driving surface. Work is scheduled to begin Oct. 8 on Mimosa Drive, weather permitting, and continue through mid-October, with the City Hall parking lot the last project to be completed. The city’s annual slurry seal project is scheduled for
Sept. 28-Oct. 9, weather permitting. Affected property owners will be notified via a door hangar with more specific dates and times for their streets. In other street news, the city officially received word that the North Main Street Reconstruction funding request has been approved by the Wichita Metropolitan Area Planning Organization (WAMPO) in the amount of $1,743,664. Mayor Bruce Armstrong said the project will add sidewalks and crossroads on the west side of the street. The project is not slated for actual funding until 2021. The council also approved a

contract with William Morris Associates Architects, Augusta, to design the Haysville Historic Chapel. The architect will produce a complete set of contract documents, including a site plan and landscaping. The chapel design will be a wood-framed structure based on historic photos of the city’s original Methodist Church. The new building will be approximately 1,200 square feet and will be used as a multi-purpose meeting room when completed. Cost of the design is $23,946. The city at one time had inves-

Big plays power Colts to victory By Travis Mounts
Haysville Sun-Times news@tsnews.com
The Campus Colts delivered a 22-7 homecoming victory last Friday, and with the gridiron win improved their record to 3-1. Big plays at key times helped the Colts break open what had been a close game through three quarters against the Salina South Cougars. Campus jumped ahead of the Cougars 6-0 on their first drive, courtesy of a 44-yard scoring run by Cameron Harvey. The Colts’ attempt at the 2-point conversion failed. The Colts padded their first-quarter lead when Brycen Schroeder sacked South’s quarterback in the end zone for a safety and an 8-0 lead. South responded in the second quarter when a 70yard pass was the key play on a scoring drive. The Cougars had a chance to take the lead before halftime, driving to the Colts’ 15 yard line. The drive ended when the Colts’ Tyler Kahmann intercepted a pass in the end zone with 13 seconds to play. Campus led 8-7 at halftime. The game remained close into the fourth quarter when the Colts’ Mateo Martinez blocked a South punt deep in Cougar territory. Martinez then scored a 12-yard touchdown on the next play, giving Campus a 15-7 lead with 9:37 left in the game. The Colts blocked two punts Friday night. Campus added to its lead about four minutes later. A fourth-down sack gave the Colts the ball in South’s half of the field. On third and long, Evan Kruse found Quinton Hicks with
a 41-yard touchdown pass. Salina South falls to 0-4. Head coach Greg Slade said the Colts were able to move the ball all night, but penalties and other mistakes in the red zone hurt them early in the game. “After we scored, we seemed to relax a little,” he said. While the offense had some early struggles, the defense was sharp from the start. “Our defense played well, holding them to one touchdown. We were on the field a lot,” Slade said. “And we had some good special
teams.” The win helped shake off the bad feelings after the Colts’ loss to Maize. The key, Slade said, is simple. “It’s not always about who we play. It’s about taking care of our responsibilities as teammates,” Slade said. Campus now will face the other Salina team, traveling north this Friday to take on the Central Mustangs. The challenge will be tougher. The Mustangs are 3-1, just like the Colts, and are coming off a 62-20 win home win over Hutchin-
son. Central also has wins over Eisenhower and Salina South, and suffered a 63-0 loss at Derby. It’s a big turnaround for Central, which went winless in the 2016 and 2017 seasons, losing 18 straight games. The Colts feel they still have untapped potential. “We have not put all three phases (offense, defense, special teams) together,” Slade said. “I’m excited for this week. Every game is big, and it would be big to continue our winning track.” Kickoff is at 7 p.m. Friday in Salina.

who rolled an ankle at practice last week and was on the bench Saturday. “Alexis McKenzie from our JV team stepped up in this position, as did Sydney Cooper. I am proud of how the girls played,” said Campus head coach Mary Askren. “Camryn Huggans definitely stood out with her ace serving and blocking.” Huggans had 13 aces, including seven against Southeast. The Colts logged 11 blocks against Southeast and 16 in the first match against South. Campus had 40 blocks in the first match against South, and 42 in the second match. Tannah Tilley led the Colts in both matches, recording 33 blocks in the two matches.
Campus was very efficient in its serving in its first two wins, hitting 94 percetn against both Southeast and South, and they served 90 percent against East. The Colts began last week with a Tuesday road trip to Salina Central, where they faced the host Mustangs as well as Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League rival Derby Panthers. The Colts lost in two sets to the Panthers, but played close in both sets. Campus salvaged the trip with a two-set victory over the Mustangs. Campus started this week at home, hosting Maize and Salina Central. Campus and Maize have played twice this season, with each
teaming winning a three-set match. Campus and Salina Central also have split a pair of matches. In both cases, the Colts lost the first meeting but avenged the loss with a victory in the most recent matchup. The Colts are off the rest of this week. Next Tuesday, they will go to Goddard to face Eisenhower and Great Bend.

The Campus Colts hosted Arkansas City last Tuesday, Sept. 18, beating the Bulldogs 6-0. The Colts broke the game open early, with Roman Mendez feeding the ball to Alec Hinojos for a score in the fifth minute. Two minutes later, Mendez scored a second goal. The next two goals belonged to Hassan Al-Amood, assisted by Erique Holloway and Mendez, respectively. Holloway scored in the 40th minute, assisted by Hinojos. Al-Amood had the game’s final goal, in the 67th minute. The win brought the Colts’ season record to 6-2. Five of six wins were shutouts, and the team’s two losses were both tight 1-0 affairs. The Colts played at Salina South Tuesday evening; look for a story on that game in next week’s paper. This Thursday, Sept. 27, the Colts will travel to play at rival Derby.

Among the highlights Burke discussed were the new pool at Campus High School, other bond-funded
Baby G From Page 1 “Then I spoke with our football team and all of our fall sports teams, just letting them know that tapping the gorilla before going into the stadium represents our ‘PRIDE’ matrix – preparation, respect, integrity, discipline and excellence. It stands for who we really want to strive to be,” Martins said. “It was well-received by the kids.”
facility improvements, and programs that benefit both teachers and students. Burke said that the Capturing Kids Hearts program has resulted in a decrease in fights at Campus High School, from 83 during Burke’s first year on the job 14 years ago, to just 14 during the 2017-2018 school year. He also noted that 215 out of 356 certified teachers in the district have masters degrees, while three have doctorates.
The new statue also serves as a finishing touch for bond-funded improvements to athletic facilities at the school. The school’s football and soccer practice field has an underground drip irrigation system, and the stadium complex has a new track. HWMS also added a second gymnasium to the main building. “Our kids deserve to have the best we can give them. Baby G was kind of a capstone, just connecting school and district pride to what we’re doing every day,” Martins said.
City From Page 1 tigated moving in a church building from Cunningham but that proved unfeasible. Mayor Bruce Armstrong said the hope is that the cost to design and build a structure will be about the same as the cost to move the church. In other business, the council: • Approved the purchase of three pieces
of strength equipment and two updated elliptical machines for the Haysville Activity Center from MidStates Fitness at a cost of $22,810. This is a budgeted expense. • Approved spending up to $31,700 for a new server for videos and images broadcast on the city’s government access Channel 7. The equipment also will better facilitate sound and live streaming of city council meetings. It was noted that the council meeting was not being broadcast live because the existing server had crashed.
A recording of the meeting was posted to YouTube.

Savor the weather, savor the fun
Fall is officially here, and you can tell. Temperatures have dropped across the board, and most of us are starting to survey our wardrobe for clothes more befitting the season. I checked my hall closet, just to be sure of what I had available in the way of jackets. I picked out a nice jersey jacket for an evening bike ride, and even had to zip it up as we headed across our neighborhood on our bikes. The jacket felt like a familiar blanket wrapped around my arms and chest, and the cool evening air in my face actually made my nose and ears cold. That sensation was delightful…and so are the activities that are available as fall arrives in south-central Kansas. Saturday was the first official day of fall this year, and the timing couldn’t have been better. Conway Springs hosted its annual Fall Fest this past weekend, and I’m sure the event’s organizers were pleased with the weather and this year’s attendance. With the theme “Space and Beyond,” numerous community volunteers banded together to help organize a weekend of activities. There were carnival rides, a taco feed before the Friday night homecoming football game, and a day full of festivities Saturday that included a morning fun run and walk, the annual parade, an arts and crafts fair in the park and loads of live music, food and activities for all ages. And now that fall is here, the Fall Festival countdown continues… This weekend, Clearwater will host its annual Fall Festival, with events running Thursday through Sunday. This year’s theme is “Keeping small town pride alive!” and volunteers have a huge lineup of activities planned. There’s an ice cream social Thursday evening, a lunch on Friday and a chili feed that night, and events on Saturday from dawn to dark. Saturday’s highlights include the 10 a.m. parade, an arts and crafts fair, a car and motorcycle show,

and lots of entertainment in City Park. Two popular bands, Morrison County and Annie Up, will close out the day’s entertainment. Sunday will close out the festivities with an 11 a.m. community church service in the park followed by lunch. The following weekend, Oct. 5-7,Goddard will host its annual Fall Festival. With the theme, “Goddard: A Million Dreams,” the community will band together to host a wide array of activities. If you want to make plans for Goddard’s event, that part’s easy. Just take a look at the complete Goddard Fall Festival Guide included in this week’s newspaper. Two weeks later, Oct. 19-21, the annual Haysville Fall Festival will be held. Just like its neighboring cities around the area, numerous volunteers will band together to host a community celebration worthy of your attention. Keep watching our newspapers in the weeks ahead for more information about the Haysville Fall Festival, which will round out the fall celebrations in our area. We’re blessed to live in communities that are prospering and providing such wonderful lifestyles for their residents. Part of that wonderful lifestyle can be attributed to the bevy of activities these communities provide residents and visitors all year long…and not just in the fall. But right now it’s officially autumn, it’s officially time to take your jacket out of the closet, and it’s officially time to make plans for the remaining fall festivals in our area. Enjoy…and here’s hoping your nose and ears get a little cold.
Letter to the Editor
A tribute to Deputy Kunze Editor’s Note: Reader Alan Reichert of Cheney wrote that he wanted to send a tribute to Sedgwick County Sheriff ’s Deputy Robert Kunze III because Kunze was killed protecting the citizens of western Sedgwick County. Following is Reichert’s poem, “Tribute to Deputy Robert Kunze III.” Although we never met, you protected my family and me. Your vocation was to uphold the right and fight the wrong. You are our warrior at home, whose courage I cannot imagine. Now you are gone, and we will miss you so. Alan Reichert Cheney

Open ears, minds needed for sex assault victims
As this week’s newspaper goes to press, United States Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is facing a pair of allegations regarding sexual assault. At this point, I think his supporters and his detractors are locked into their positions. An army of Pulitzer Prize-winning editorialists likely can’t change minds now, on either side. That’s not my goal. Instead, I hope I can encourage people – men, especially – to simply listen and try to believe accusers when they come forward with their stories. It doesn’t matter if it has been two hours, two years or two decades since an assault. The first time I heard a first-person account of a sexual assault was from a friend. It was the mid-1980s, I was a junior in high school, and my friend had been assaulted by a close relative. Since then, more and more people in my life have shared their experiences or the experiences of people close to them. I know the statistics about how prevalent sexual assault is, and how many people never make a report. By the time the #metoo movement took off a year ago, I thought I had a fairly good understanding of how widespread the problem is. What #metoo has taught me however, is that I had only a superficial knowledge. Over the past week or so, I’ve seen many more stories on social media – far more than I ever imagined,
Random Thoughts
Travis Mounts | Managing Editor
and that’s just from the people I know. Some of the stories were quite graphic. Many shared the reasons they did not report their stories, or shared awful, awful stories of how they were treated when they did try to make a report. As I type these words, my feeling is that every woman I know has dealt with discrimination and sexual assault, and I mean in very serious ways. I’ve never been sexually assaulted. I can’t begin to imagine what that’s like. But there were many times I was bullied at school. I rarely, if ever, mentioned it as a kid. There was the fear of reprisal, the fear of not being believed, and the prevailing belief back then that bullied kids needed to toughen up. It shaped my personality. Those experiences are still with me, although normally in the background. For years, I remained timid in situations where I would have like to have better stood up for myself or someone else. I never liked conflict, and learned to fear it. Over time, however, I’ve learned to compensate, and sometimes overcompensate. That’s what happens when you bottle up fear and anger for too long. I don’t understand
the experience of sexual assault, but I understand trauma and feel I can relate on some level. Here’s what I do know. Traumatic experiences stay with you. Those memories get buried and can pop up much later, and when those experiences resurface, it’s like experiencing those moments all over again. Even with the progress we’ve made, it’s still believed that most sexual assaults go unreported. There is an inherent shame that victims feel, even though it’s not their fault. For many, reporting a crime can be just as traumatic. I won’t go into detail here, but a rape kit examination is hours-long and personally invasive. For many, it’s like a second assault. Many victims fear they won’t be believed, whether it is by police, their employees or their families, as often is the case when the alleged perpetrator is a relative. You can’t put a timetable on a victim’s believability. While false accusations can happen, they are extremely rare. Most victims know that making an accusation brings an entirely new set of traumas, and that keeps many from coming forward. Too often, they feel it is easier to deal with it and move on. But you never know
what might bring you back to the time (or times) you were assaulted. It might be a location or a smell. It could be the way a stranger looks at you, or the touch of somebody. Or just maybe, an accuser you’ve put out of your mind is suddenly in the news, whether it’s a Hollywood producer, a famous comic or a nominee for the SCOTUS. Every victim deserves to be heard and to be given the benefit of the doubt, no matter who the alleged perpetrator is or how much time has passed. That’s not being political, that is simply compassion.

Food scientist shares salsa tips
Summer vegetables are arriving by the armload in kitchens across the country. And plenty of those tomatoes, peppers, onions and herbs are going into homemade salsa. Not all salsas are created equal, however, according to Kansas State University’s Karen Blakeslee. Recipes created in home kitchens for salsa are suitable for eating fresh or freezing, but if you’re planning to preserve the popular condiment for later by canning, stick to tested recipes that keep ingredients at safe pH levels. “No one wants to end a party with everyone getting sick from the salsa,” said Blakeslee, who is the Rapid Response Center Coordinator with K-State Research and Extension in food science. Salsas include high-acid and low-acid ingredients and are considered acidified food, appropriate for boiling water bath canning if the final pH is less than 4.6, she said. The safety of home canned salsa depends on the combination of ingredients, procedures used in preparation, the acidity, and consistency of the final product. The size of jar can also affect safety. All tested
salsa recipes are canned in pint jars. If larger jars are used, the safety of the salsa can be in jeopardy. “Using a process time from another recipe is only a guess for homemade recipes and can cause spoilage and potential foodborne illness,” she said. Blakeslee, who is an avid cook and home canner herself and a proponent of making the most of your (or your neighbor’s) vegetable garden, says to start with high-quality, disease-free produce. She adds, “Be smart about food preservation. Look for reliable recipe sources to increase your chances for safe food. It is a waste of good food if safety is ignored from beginning to end.” K-State Research and Extension has publications free for viewing and downloading, including “Preserving Tomatoes” or the Spanish version “Conservas Frescas, Conservas Seguras, Tomates. Also available are “Preserve it Fresh, Preserve it Safe” “Sassy Safe Salsa at Home” plus a Spanish version “Atrevida Salsa Casera Segura.” A video of Blakeslee offering tips on home canning

It ain’t bean bag – well, actually...
060 Sports to host Wichita area’s first cornhole event By Sam Jack
Haysville Sun-Times sjack@tsnews.com
Haysville’s 060 Sports will host an American Cornhole Organization (ACO) regional tournament on Saturday. It will be the first-ever ACO-sanctioned cornhole event in the Wichita area, according to Campus High School graduate Eric Rico, who is organizing it. “The ACO has had their championships televised on ESPN,” Rico noted. “You have to have a certain number of points to qualify for competitions like that, and you get those points at regional tournaments like this one.” Cornhole, also known as bean bag toss, is a classic yard game familiar from barbecues, town festivals and backyard cookouts. From a distance of 27 feet, competitors try to hurl a beanbag through a six-inch hole in an inclined piece of wood. From that range, it’s difficult to “air mail” a bean bag right into the hole; bags end up sitting on the wooden playing surface. As competitors take turns throwing bags, they try to use their tosses to slide their own bags in while blocking their opponents’ bags. The atmosphere at ACO events is casual, in keeping with cornhole’s origin as a backyard game. The tournament Saturday in Haysville was planned as a “bring your own beer” until the
Haysville City Council declined to issue an alcohol permit. On the other hand, competitive cornhole is also serious business. The top competitors tend to abstain from, or at least limit, beer consumption, in the interest of accuracy. ACO equipment has standardized dimensions and quality standards. Rico does not want any backyard cornhole enthusiasts to feel intimidated about showing up to play. “What’s cool about regionals is that you have your serious players who are really good, but you also have plenty of players who just want to see what it’s all about, see how they fare in our community and how they fare on a country-wide scale,” he said. The Haysville regional will offer competitive categories for every age and gender, including doubles categories for men, women and co-ed teams. The cornhole action starts at noon Saturday, and the public is invited to come watch. Those who would like to compete can sign up at the door. There is a $25 membership fee for the ACO cornhole season, which runs through May. The tournament entry fee is $10, and competitors can enter multiple divisions. All equipment is provided, including bags. Those who want to bring their own bags need to make sure they are ACO-approved models. Like most cornhole enthusiasts, Rico started as a casual,
backyard competitor. He saw the growth of cornhole as an organized sport and decided he wanted to get involved and bring it to the Wichita area. “I’m super-stoked to have this at 060 Sports, and I’m hoping that they’ll keep hosting
them,” Rico said. “I’m going to see how this tournament goes and maybe have one during the fall festival. Other than that, I’ll look at any event or venue around the Wichita area. I’m actually talking to a guy in Great Bend right now that
thinks he might be interested.” For updates on future ACO cornhole events in Haysville and the local area, follow “Air Capital Cornhole” on Facebook. Those with questions or who want to sign up in advance may call Rico at 316-807-7565.
