Village Christmas is Saturday

The Haysville Historic Committee invites friends and neighbors to the Village Christmas Celebration on Dec. 2 from 4 to 9 pm at W. W. Hays Village Historic Park, 200 S. Main.

Organized by the Haysville Historic Committee in conjunction with the City of Haysville, Haysville Community Library, Haysville Masonic Lodge, Haysville PRIDE and the Central States Metal Artisans, the Village Christmas Celebration is one of the most anticipated events of the holiday season. Many activities offered are free.

Horse-drawn carriage rides, pictures with Santa, vocal performances, and many other holiday-themed activities will help attendees get into the Christmas spirit.

Community groups will be caroling throughout the park and in the gazebo from 6 to 8:30 p.m. and will welcome guests to join in.

Explore the Historic District to find kids crafts, along with cookies and hot cocoa, at the Community Building. The Haysville Community Library plays host to an elaborate model train display, and offers storytelling and hot apple cider. Tour Wire House for a glimpse of home in the 1930s, and pick up a $3 mystery grab bag for a chance to win gift certificates from La Pasadita, Pat’s Concessions, Little Caesar’s, Haysville Rental Center and more.

Local Girl Scouts will be hosting a canned food drive, with donations going to food banks in Haysville.

The Masonic Lodge will open its doors for a silent auction benefiting the Historic District, and for a Soup and Chili Feed with tickets available at the door ($6 for adults, $3 for kids).

No Christmas celebration would be complete without a lighting ceremony, so join Mayor Bruce Armstrong, Haysville PRIDE and others at PRIDE Park (northeast corner of Main and Grand) as they light up the city at 5:30 pm. The local Girl Scouts will lead a Christmas Carol Sing-a-long.

Santa Claus, escorted by the Sedgwick County Fire Department, will also be making an appearance.

Saying goodbye D.C. efforts will not benefit you or me at Thanksgiving Kim and I shared Thanksgiving Day with her family in Hutchinson, and it was an enjoyable and memorable holiday.

Our morning was spent in the kitchen, finishing up side dishes as the turkey roasted in the oven.

We were in charge of the stuffing and the gravy, in addition to the bird, and I even made a small batch of whipped turnips and cheese…just for the adventurous eaters in our gathering.

Needless to say, I had turnips left over at the end of the day. The turkey was gone, and the stuffing and gravy had been hit hard. But the turnips were a garden oddity that were best tasted, gingerly, and then left for someone else to sample.

After our afternoon meal, there was lots of visiting to be accomplished, a little resting that needed to be done… especially for yours truly, and a generous round of photo opportunities as family members said their goodbyes and headed home. But for Kim and I, there was one more stop to make.

Just prior to Thanksgiving, I had learned that my Aunt Erma Meyer, the last remaining matriarch on my mother’s side of the family, was in failing health and probably didn’t have long to live.

She and my Uncle Don had been living in Hutchinson for the past couple of years so they could be close to one of their daughters, and now they had been transferred to a care facility on the north edge of town.

We found my Aunt Erma resting peacefully, with the help of some strong medications, and she was seemingly oblivious to our arrival. That was not a surprise, from what I had been told by her family.

Kim and I settled in for a nice, long visit with my Uncle Don, and later in the evening we were joined by my cousin

Denise.

She recounted that the day had been filled with visitors, including family members from Nebraska where my aunt was born and reared.

A cousin from Nebraska had stumbled across a number of old family photos, including ones of my brother and I as kids. He had left the photos to share, and in turn, Denise asked me to take what I wanted from the treasure trove of pictures.

Those family images brought back waves of memories for me, my uncle and my cousin, and as the evening clock ticked away, we filled the room with laughter as we all shared stories from years ago.

We all have managed to stay in touch over the years, and the sparks of those reminiscences quickly ignited those connections.

This was seemingly good medicine for my Aunt Erma, who – as we were saying our goodbyes – heard my booming voice and started whispering to me.

We shared a touching goodbye of our own, and I kissed my Aunt Erma one last time on her forehead as I held her hand.

By early Sunday morning, my Aunt Erma had said the rest of her goodbyes, and she was gone.

She leaves behind a family that will miss her dearly, but as a Thanksgiving evening visit attests, she leaves so much more in the wake of her death.

She leaves behind a legacy of family ties that she helped stitch.

Over the last week or two, you’ve probably seen the words “net neutrality” pop up on your social media, heard them from friends, or come across them in a new story.

Most folks either have a very good idea what net neutrality it is, or not a good idea at all. Either way, you are likely to be impacted by the Federal Communications Commission’s plans to reverse the Obama administration’s policy on it.

Let me take a moment to explain it simply, and give you a brief idea of how the FCC’s move will be bad for all of us.

At its core, net neutrality is the idea that all content on the internet is the same.

You can interpret that to mean static sights versus streaming video, but really it’s about where that content comes from.

If you get your

Random Thoughts

Travis Mounts | Managing Editor

internet from a local company like SKT or Haviland Telephone, or a national company like Cox or AT&T, they have to treat information the same. It doesn’t matter if a story from Fox News or MSNBC or the New York Times or this newspaper.

It doesn’t matter if it’s recipes or Facebook or “Game of Thrones” streaming episodes.

But if net neutrality is tossed aside, as planned, get ready for the internet to look like your cable or satellite bill, with tiers and add-ons. Quite simply, your internet will get more expensive.

If Cox strikes a deal with

MSNBC, you may not be able to load Fox News’ website. If AT&T and Hulu become partners, you may not be able to access Netflix.

Social media could cost more. It already does in Portugal, where net neutrality doesn’t really exist.

Get ready for companies to force feed you their services, and to do all they can to keep you from competitors’ products – either by blocking them, slowing them down or charging you more.

Big media companies win, and you lose. And start-up services may never get the chance to find you.

In many ways, this is similar to the tax plan being worked on by the U.S. House and Senate. The more reports I read, the more it’s apparent that the real winners are the people who already are winning – big corporations, and rich individuals.

The promise of relief to the middle class is supposed to come through

“job creation” generated by tax breaks at the top.

We’ve heard this before.

We’ve seen it in practice in Kansas. We know first-hand it was a failure.

Tax breaks for the rich don’t create jobs. Demand from the middle class for goods and services drives demand, and that’s where jobs come from. A tax plan that directly helps people like you and me, and not those at the top of economic food chain, will create jobs.

The people at the top?

They’ll be all right, trust me. The idea of helping people at the top while you and I foot the bill is just political payback. Those at the top don’t need that help, and those of us in the middle can’t afford it.

Tax reform is a great idea. But if it only helps those who already are winning, then nobody wins.

Our representatives need to hear from you.

Say “no” to killing net neutrality. And make tax reform help those who really need it.

What’s on your mind?

Colts look to make strides in AVCTL

By Travis Mounts

Haysville Sun-Times news@tsnews.com

CAMPUS COLTS CAMPUS COLTS CAMPUS COLTS

The Campus Colts showed a lot of promise a year ago, but that promise translated into just four wins. Beyond their record, however, the Colts showed an ability to play with many teams. That could be seen in a number of games where they fell behind early but came back to challenge late in the game.

Most of that Colts’ lineup is back, including four starters, and this season they’re aiming for the consistency that will give them more victories.

Returning are Federico Harvey, Tyler Kahmann, Tanner Leslie and Cade Howard.

“They’ve improved leaps and bounds. They’ve worked hard,” said head coach Chris Davis, now in his fourth year at Campus.

“We had the best summer since I’ve been here. We’re committed and it paid dividends.”

Like all coaches, Davis would like to see more space between the first day of practice and the first game.

“We feel like we don’t have enough time before our first game,” he said.

“We’re doing some good things. I like where we’re at.”

With virtually the same roster as last year, Davis now has an experienced squad to coach.

“You’ve got to make sure you’re doing things right

and within the concept of the team,” he said. Fundamentals are important.

So is leadership, and look for Federico Harvey to provide that. Harvey shined at last spring’s State track meet, and led the Campus football team to its first-ever playoff win this fall.

“Since the State track meet, his confidence has grown tremendously. I’m really excited for him. I don’t think he understands how good he can be,” Davis said.

Davis doesn’t measure success in terms of number of victories. Instead, he said teams need to keep improving.

Gaining ground in the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League’s top division is

not easy. Derby has three new transfer players, and Newton is always a tough team.

“It’s going to be a battle every night. The (league) winner could have four or five losses,” Davis said.

Early wins could go a long way for the Colts in terms of confidence.

Campus girls bring back experience

By Travis Mounts

Haysville Sun-Times news@tsnews.com

The Campus Colts girls basketball team started last season very young and with precious little experience, playing in a league that is among the toughest in the state.

Last year’s squad of mostly sophomores are now juniors with a full year of varsity experience. They’ve also made progress over the summer, according to head coach Josh Curtiss.

“Our kids put in a lot of time and made huge strides,” he said. Many of the girls took part in the Emporia State basketball camp and played in a Monday league over the summer. “Hopefully, it pays off.”

Campus lost its top player to graduation, but Hannah Schutte, Camryn Huggans and Lindsay Baalmann – all juniors and starters last year – are back. Venus Thanasouk, a sophomore, joined the starting lineup late last season and will handle point guard duties this

year. The final starting spot is still up for grabs.

The girls also have found some success playing volleyball, and the confidence from that can translate to basketball success, Curtiss said.

The Colts will begin the new season at home this Friday, when they host Maize South.

“We start the year with a winnable game, and who knows what happens if you win it,” Curtiss said.

Campus plays at home for three of its first four games. On Tuesday, the Colts host Andover Central. They close out next

week with a Friday game at Newton. After that, they host Maize before traveling to Derby and then Salina Central. After that, it’s Christmas break and the season is one-third complete.

Curtiss had a simple answer when asked who the league favorite is.

“All of them,” he said.

“The girls side (of the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League) is probably tougher than the boys.”

Derby has two juniors who are solid NCAA Division I prospects. Salina Central is expected to be tough, Newton is always

good, and Maize is a traditional power.

“They can complete with anybody in the state,” Curtiss said about Maize. The Colts will see all of those teams in the next 20 days.

Early Campus practices have focused on eliminating the challenges from last year.

“Taking care of the basketball has been a key for us. That hurt us last year. That (turnovers) is a symptom of a really young team,” Curtiss said.

He said the Colts played decent half-court defense, but because of turnovers

Colts wrestling returns a strong core

By Michael Buhler

Haysville Sun-Times

Fresh off a second-place finish at the Class 6A State wrestling tournament last winter, the Campus Colts will be looking to build on that when they open the season at home Saturday in their own Campus Invitational.

“I am excited to see how this year’s team responds after last year’s performance,” Colts coach Jim Dryden said. “We lost many quality wrestlers, but this just gives other wrestlers an opportunity to step up and show what they can accomplish. As coaches, it will be our job

to try and figure out how to draw that out of them.”

The cupboard is not bare for the Colts. Brycen Schroeder took second at State last season, while Kai Rhea took third and Luke Bowen took fourth. Additionally, Derek Journey returns after making it to the State tournament last winter.

“Those individuals will have to carry the team while younger guys make the transition to the varsity level,” Dryden said. “We have more kids out this year than ever before, so hopefully the competition in the room will motivate some guys to step up the their performance.”

Dryden will look to oth-

er experienced wrestlers to shepherd those younger wrestlers.

“We have some other guys with varsity experience that will need to help with the development of our younger guys,” Dryden said. “Dakota Mitchell, Ian Kampe, Derek Sheler and Garin Williams will be expected to help with that development.”

The Colts will wrestle in several tournaments this season, including three consecutive weekend tournaments to kick off the season.

“We have an extremely tough schedule with the addition of the Mid-America Wrestling Tournament

in Enid, Okla. – and we added Junction City to our invitational,” Dryden said. “We know this will be challenging, but hopefully it pays dividends later in the season.”

Early practices are now a routine for CHS swimmers

By Travis Mounts

Haysville Sun-Times news@tsnews.com

Another season for the pool-less Campus swimming and diving team means another season of pre-dawn practices.

This season, the Colts are leaving Campus at 5 a.m. to practice at Wichita Northwest High School.

It’s about 10 minutes farther than last year’s practice facility at Wichita West. The boys are in the pool at 5:30 a.m., and out about 6:45 a.m. so they can be back to CHS by 7:30 a.m.

It’s the price the Colts have to pay for construction projects at Campus High School, including the new natatorium now under construction.

Twenty-six athletes are on the Colts’ squad this season. They lost just two swimmers to graduation.

Head coach Kelly Kennedy will look to four seniors to provide leadership: Devon Ferris, Payne Wiseman, Quinton Roberts and Austin Rector.

“They’ve already stepped up. They talk and encourage the team,” Kennedy said.

In the water, three juniors will be setting the pace for Campus. They are Blake Chadd, Daine Crum and T.J. Lolling. Kennedy also expects one of two freshman to make waves, Brendon Chadd.

“He’ll give his older brother some competi-

tion,” Kennedy said.

Jake Burke, a top-12 diver at Class 6A State a year ago, will be looking to make a return trip to the State meet. Cooper Page, another diver, could do well by season’s end.

Other state qualifiers from last year include Wiseman, Crum, Blake Chadd and Lolling. Crum, Chadd and Lolling all competed on relays, and will make up three-fourths of this year’s medley relay.

Wiseman could be the final piece of that puzzle.

Kennedy is pleased with what he’s seen through early-season practices.

“They’ve been working hard. I was very pleased with our 50-yard freestyle time trials. We had only two who were above 40 seconds,” Kennedy said, adding nine swimmers were under 27 seconds.

“We’ve got a good core.”

Kennedy expects Newton and Maize will continue to be at the top of the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League.

As for the early morning practices, that’s just how things are.

“They’re just taking it in stride,” he said. “I’m expecting them to work hard and be right up there.”

The Colts were supposed to start the season at Newton on Nov. 28, but that meet got pushed back two days. That created a conflict for Campus, which already had a Nov. 30 swim meet on the schedule.

Broadcasting class launches weekly chat show

By Sam Jack

Haysville Sun-Times sjack@tsnews.com

Campus High School’s student broadcasters have launched a new video program. “Saddle Up” is a two-minute, weekly chat show featuring guests from the Campus school community.

“We made it, basically, for Twitter,” said Ed Cleaver, Campus’s broadcasting teacher. “A lot of our students are on Twitter and get their information from their. Instead of having to watch a 30-minute YouTube show, we thought it might be good to make a short show with a student, coach or faculty member talking about a current event – or just getting to know them.”

Seniors Elijah Gates and Tom Do are co-hosts.

“I’m really liking it,” Gates said. “It gives us camera time, a chance for kids to get to know us better.”

The interview subjects so far have been involved in athletics, but the show is intended to have a broader focus.

“We’ll definitely get into some kids who are into

theatre, music, robotics club, stuff like that,” Gates said.

Senior Kai Rhea directs the show and does a lot of the video editing work.

He created the show’s intro sequence, a series

of jittery shots of Gates and Do set to a laid-back hip-hop beat. Rhea said he enjoys being part of Broadcasting II, the class that produces both Saddle Up and the monthly Channel 060 half-hour

program.

“We’ve got a lot of different types of people in here. We’ve got people who know how to make effects and cut and edit videos, and we’ve also got people with the vision for

cinematography,” Rhea said.

Do said he hopes the show will improve as they continue to work on it this school year.

“This is like my first time on camera, so we can

try to improve,” he said.

“I think broadcasting is pretty fun.”

Dinosaur theme park will open next summer

By Sam Jack

Haysville Sun-Times sjack@tsnews.com

A theme park featuring more than 50 animatronic dinosaurs will open nearby on May 26, 2018.

Field Station: Dinosaurs will be located at the intersection of Rock Road and E. 63rd St. S. in Derby, about a 10-minute drive from Haysville.

It will be the second dino-themed attraction for developer Guy Gsell; his first is located in Secaucus, N.J., and features about 30 life-sized dinosaur puppets.

Derby’s exhibit will be customized to reflect Kansas’s prehistoric landscape, and titled “American Dinosaurs! - On the Shores of the Western Inland Seaway,” accord-

ing to the City of Derby’s website.

Kids and their families will walk through areas such as “Foothills,” “The Green” and “Base Camp,” interacting with docents and participating in games and activities.

The plan for Field Station: Dinosaurs’ 14-acre site also includes a minigolf course and a tri-level ropes course.

The ropes course will be built under a dome, allowing children to use it year round.

The theme park project got started in July 2015, when Gsell approached the Derby City Council with his vision. City council members visited Gsell’s theme park in Secaucus a few months later, and approved a STAR bond district encompass-

ing Gsell’s proposed site.

Kansas STAR bonds (sales tax revenue bonds) allow municipalities to issue bonds financing the development of tourist attractions. Sales tax revenues generated by the attractions are diverted from state and local treasuries until the bonds are repaid.

The Kansas Department of Commerce

approved $18.9 million in STAR bonds for the Derby project on Oct. 21, 2016, and the city closed on the sale of the bonds in March. The sale means that the city is not at financial risk if the park fails to prosper.

For more information on Field Station: Dinosaurs, visit www.fieldstationdinosaurs.com/ Kansas.

Field Station: Dinosaurs will feature more than 50 life-size, animatronic puppets like the one at far left. It will also offer an indoor, three-level ropes course.
