How dangerous is this corner?

Nine hurt in crash

Residents want changes at intersection north of Clearwater

By Travis Mounts The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com The intersection of 135th Street West and 71st Street South – a few miles north of Clearwater and west of Haysville – has been the site of numerous accidents over the years.

The latest accident, which occurred Wednesday morning, March 6, hurt nine people, some of them critically. The crash involved two vehicles, one of which ran the stop sign for eastbound traffic on 71st Street South, according to information provided last week by the Sedg-

wick County Sheriff ’s Department.

According to the sheriff ’s department, a silver Toyota Corolla was traveling south on 135th Street West when Ford Expedition going east on 71st Street South failed to stop at the stop sign. The Ford struck the Toyota. Preliminary results show the driver of the Ford became distracted and did not stop at the stop sign, according to the sheriff ’s department.

The Toyota was driven by 14-year-old Morgan Tobias.

Passengers included her mother, Kimberly Tobias, 39, brother Caleb Tobias, 12, and Didrik Ytrehus, a 17-year-old foreign exchange student living with the family. The youths attend Clearwater schools, and Kimberly Tobias teaches English as a second language (ESOL) in USD 264.

“You’re the real champion here.”

This was the last statement Eureka freshman Garrison Spoonts made to his opponent, Logan Doshier, during the 3-21A regional wrestling championship in the 160-pound weight class last month. The duo had just started the second period, where Spoonts was in the bottom position. As they both got to their feet, Spoonts was working for a reversal when he

implemented a headlock, taking Doshier, a junior at Cheney High School, down to the mat.

That is when the unthinkable happened. As the two went down, Doshier tried to brace the fall and dislocated his elbow.

“The last thing I remember is the look on the Eureka kid’s face,” said Cheney head coach Than Underwood. “He felt bad.”

Medals From Page 1A The match ended abruptly, as did Doshier’s junior wrestling season.

However, the true sportsmanship continued.

Although Doshier was taken out on a gurney, he wanted to shake Spoonts’ hand and wish him well at the State tournament.

The sportsmanship didn’t stop there. Shortly after Spoonts was awarded the regional wrestling medal in the 160-pound class,

he found Underwood and asked him to give a medal to Doshier, as he was “the real champion.”

Doshier learned later that night while still in the hospital what Spoonts had done for him.

“My dad looked at the medal and said, ‘Oh, my God.’ He walked in and told me, and handed me the medal,” Dosher said.

“I was amazed. He didn’t have to do that. I was amazed at his character.”

What Underwood did not realize at the time was that Spoonts gave his firstplace medal to Doshier,

not the second-place medal that belonged to Dosher after forfeiting the match because of his injury.

Underwood said it was a hectic scene. Another Cheney wrestler, Clay Robinson, had a match that started about 30 seconds after Doshier was wheeled away.

Although Doshier placed second at regionals and qualified for the State tournament, he was unable to wrestle.

At State wrestling in Hays the following week, an official from Fredonia High School, which had

Suspicious suitcase brings bomb squad Staff report

The Times-Sentinel

GODDARD – By midday Wednesday morning, March 6, things were back to normal at the Goddard Post Office.

But earlier in the day, two blocks along Main Street and two blocks along Third Avenue were closed as authorities treated a suitcase as a possible bomb. The Wichita Bomb Squad assisted local authorities.

At about 7:30 a.m., postal employees opening for the day discovered a suitcase sitting on the floor. The building and surrounding area were evacuated as a precaution.

Authorities determined it was just an empty suitcase, and an “all clear” was given just before 10 a.m.

Goddard Police Chief

Fred Farris told The Times-Sentinel in an email that nearby Oak Street Elementary was not locked down.

“We did have a perimeter set up a block around the Post Office building and denied any traffic into that area. We were in contact with the USD 265 Police Department and they were aware of what was going on but there was no need to lock anything down,” he wrote.

Farris said that Goddard Police did located the person who left the bag.

“He dropped it off there because the name tag on the bag had a name and address and he figured the post office would know how to contact the owner,” Farris said. It probably would have been better to drop it off with us but it was an honest mistake.”

hosted the regional, presented Underwood with Doshier’s second-place medal. That’s when Underwood realized that Spoonts had presented his first place medal to Doshier.

“All regional medals are the same bronze color. We never looked at the medal he (Spoonts) gave to Logan,” Underwood said.

A few weeks later, Eureka head wrestling coach Mike Davison received a letter from Cheney. The envelope not only included a note but also a 1984 Class 4A, 138-pound medal – a medal Coach Underwood earned 35 years ago.

“I couldn’t believe what I saw,” stated Spoonts. “It was the last thing I expected. I injured one of their star wrestlers.”

Underwood was moved by the gesture.

Judge dismisses O’Donnell charges Staff report

The Times-Sentinel

On Thursday, March 7, granting a request from prosecutors, federal Judge Eric Melgren dismissed the last five criminal charges against Sedgwick County Commissioner Michael O’Donnell.

The dismissal came a few days after a jury acquitted O’Donnell on 21 counts of wire fraud tied to campaign expenditures. The jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on two counts of money laundering and three linked counts of wire fraud.

Judge Melgren dismissed those counts without prejudice, meaning that the government has the option

of re-filing the charges in the future.

The charges concerned campaign-account checks that O’Donnell wrote to friends, who then used the money to re-pay O’Donnell for expenses he covered during a ski trip to Aspen.

Prosecutors argued that O’Donnell was trying to obscure the source of funds he received, while O’Donnell maintains that the payments from the campaign account were legitimate bonuses. His defense attorneys argued that state laws do not regulate how much or when candidates should pay their staff.

“I was amazed the kid had thought to do that, and in that atmosphere with how things had happened,” Underwood said.

“That’s when I realized Spoonts didn’t have a medal.”

That bothered Underwood, who said medals mean a lot to kids.

His note to the Eureka head coach read: “Here’s a first place Regional medal for your 160 lb. Sorry the weight and year are wrong.”

Doshier texted Spoonts and wished him luck at State, and watched online as Spoonts wrestled at State.

“Wrestling forms a lot of friendships. At least for me, it has,” Doshier said.

Underwood said people don’t really understand the sport.

“It’s a small community. People think of us as

thugs. We’re a bunch of big, soft teddy bears,” he said.

The Cheney Cardinals were one of many teams cheering the Eureka Tornadoes to their first-ever wrestling title. For one, other teams knew the hardships Eureka has faced in the wake of two tornados in three years.

Another reason teams got behind Eureka, Underwood said, is that 3-2-1A State is often won by teams from northwest Kansas. A lot of central and eastern Kansas schools were happy to see the trophy awarded to a team not so close to Hays.

Although Spoonts and Doshier hadn’t met on or off the mat prior to the regional championships, the two have created a friendship that simply started with acts of true sportsmanship.

Council votes to keep Clearwater EMS operations

By Paul Rhodes

The Times-Sentinel prhodes@tsnews.com

CLEARWATER – The city of Clearwater will keep its local EMS operations, following a vote Tuesday night by members of the City Council.

On a 3-1 vote with council member Chris Griffin in opposition, the council voted to move ahead with hiring the full-time personnel needed to help staff Clearwater’s EMS Department.

Council members Shirley Palmer-Witt, Laura Papish and Yvonne Coon voted to continue moving forward with efforts to maintain a local ambulance service. Council member Tex Titterington was absent from Tuesday’s meeting.

A round of applause from a

large audience on hand for the meeting broke out after the vote.

The city’s options, as mapped out Tuesday night, were to either maintain EMS operations locally, or turn those services over to Sedgwick County.

It was made clear that a vote to turn EMS operations over to Sedgwick County did not include having ambulances run out of the EMS building in Clearwater.

“If the county assumes responsibility, staffing won’t be from here,” said Mayor Burt Ussery.

Griffin said he was opposed to the eventual tax increase it will take to fund a local ambulance service. He was not alone in those concerns, and other council members said they were torn over the decision. But in the end,

those three council members voted to give local operations another shot.

The whole issue over ambulance service in Clearwater came to a head a few months ago when the state threatened to take away Clearwater’s ambulance license. City officials from Clearwater met with state authorities in early December to address questions about how it will staff its ambulance services in the future.

There have been changes in regulations concerning the permitting of ambulances by the state of Kansas, and how Emergency Medical Services staffs must be manned to maintain the ambulance permitting. The big issue is that EMS rosters must show “24/7” coverage for local

services.

To solve immediate concerns, the city of Clearwater entered into agreements with Sedgwick County, Mulvane and Conway Springs EMS departments to help with coverage for Clearwater Emergency Services, which includes fire and EMS services.

Those plans were shared with the state EMS board at the meeting in early December.

“Short term, that’s what we’re going to do,” said Marsh. He said the state board was satisfied with that plan, and tabled any action on Clearwater’s staffing issues.

Since then, the possibility of turning EMS operations over the county came up. As discussions were held at council meetings and at community meetings, the two options on the table Tuesday

were determined.

Interim EMS director Justin Patrick told council members Tuesday night that volunteers are helping keep the roster covered, and that he believed the department “can make it work” if the city moves to hire some full-time personnel for the department. Up to this point the city has been talking about hiring a full-time director and three EMTs to staff the department, with help from volunteers.

The partnerships with other EMS departments will continue as the city looks to fill those positions, and Ussery said he believes the state will give Clearwater the time it needs to resolve staffing issues.

“The state understands the situation we’re in,” said Ussery.

The Cheney Spotlight Students in March are, from left, Lexi Fullerton, Katy Banning, Braylin Ayres and Trenton Canaan.

CHS names spotlight students

CHENEY – Cheney High School has named its spotlight students for the month of March.

Freshman Braylin Ayres is the daugher of Scott and Tara Ayres. She participates in basketball, golf, track, Spanish club, student council and girls glee.

“Braylin is happy each day she comes to seminar. She helps others and takes her schoolwork seriously. She works hard to stay caught up when she is gone. I so enjoy seeing her at the end of each red day,” said teacher Ann Asbury.

Sophomore Trenton Canaan is the son of Tiffany and Dustin Canaan. He is active in basketball, baseball and choir.

“You’ll never find Trenton without a smile on his face and something he is

excited to talk about. He is an excellent student and good kid,” said teacher Layton Nance.

Junior Katy Banning is the daughter of Randall Banning and Shelly Banning. She serves as a basketball manager.

“Katy is a great group leader and a hard worker. She has a great attitude,” said teacher Tim Hiebert.

Senior Lexi Fullerton is the daughter of Jeff Fullerton and Julie Henning. She takes part in softball, dance and girls glee.

“Lexi is in three of my journalism classes and shows leadership in each of them.

She helps her classmates when needed and volunteers to do extra work outside of class. She is a great young lady,” said Asbury.

KBI asks all victims to report clergy abuse

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) has initiated an investigation into reports of sexual abuse perpetrated by clergy of the four Catholic dioceses of Kansas, and asks all victims to report clergy abuse to the agency.

On Nov. 15, 2018, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt requested that the KBI investigate allegations of sexual abuse by members of the Catholic clergy in Kansas. Since then, the KBI has convened an internal

task force of six special agents who will conduct a thorough investigation into abuse reports received from the public, including accounts from anyone who has been victimized by members of the clergy, including church employees, church volunteers, or any others in positions of authority within the church, and complete a review of church documents.

If you, or someone you know, has been the victim of sexual abuse committed by a member of the clergy,

Just Arrived!

report this to the KBI by calling 1-800-KS-CRIME, or by sending an email to ClergyAbuse@kbi.ks.gov.

The KBI asks victims to report all incidents of abuse, no matter how long ago they occurred, and even if they were previously reported to law enforcement, or the church.

The KBI task force will work with prosecutors and law enforcement partners to determine if any sexual abuse incidents should be considered for prosecution.

If you’re like many Americans, the answer is the grocery store.

And frankly, that disturbs me. The grocery store isn’t where food comes from – it is just from where it is distributed. In reality, far too many people are unaware of the role of American agriculture in their daily lives… and what it really takes to have food on their dinner table.

You, I and 163 other people ate today because of one American farmer... a dramatic increase from 19 people in the 1940s. Quite simply, American agriculture is doing more – and doing it better.

Agriculture is this nation’s No. 1 export and vitally important in sustaining a healthy economy.

A majority of us know our food and fiber don’t just arrive at the grocery or clothing store… or magically appear on our dinner table or in our closet. There is an entire industry dedicated to providing consumers with the safest, most wholesome and nutritious products possible… as well as a wide range of comfortable, fashionable clothing choices. We rely on agriculture for the very necessities of life. From beef and pork to cotton and wheat, agriculture is working harder than ever to meet the needs of Americans and others around the world.

The role of farmers will become even more critical with the exploding world population.

earth their home. By 2050, the population is projected to reach 9.7 billion and 11.2 billion by 2100.

Growth in the human population is mainly a product of declining mortality from improvements in food production, medication, sanitation, and energy sources.

And it’s not just the farmer who makes our food possible. The entire agriculture industry, all the way to the grocery store, provides vital links in a chain which brings food to every consumer - and millions of people abroad.

Frankly, it’s easy to take agriculture for granted in America. Our food is readily accessible and safe.

For this, we’re unbelievably fortunate…but that doesn’t mean we don’t have an obligation to recognize how it’s made possible.

Just a few generations ago, most people were a part of – and had friends or relatives involved with – agriculture. Today, that’s no longer the case. That’s why I’m writing, because agriculture is responsible for providing the necessities of life… food, fiber, and fuel. And it’s about time Americans recognize that contribution.

Americans continue to enjoy a food, fiber and fuel supply which is abundant, affordable overall and among the world’s safest, thanks in large part to the efficiency and productivity of America’s farm and

ranch families.

We officially recognize our farmers and all they do to make our lives better during Agriculture Week, March 10-16, hosted by The Agriculture Council of America. Agriculture Week is a good time to reflect – and be grateful for – American Agriculture! This marks a nationwide effort to tell the true story of American Agriculture and remind consumers, agriculture is a part of all of us.

Be part of America’s Agriculture, if even just for one day. Take a drive in the country with your family, as there is no prettier green than winter wheat fields waking from winter dormancy. And give a big wave if you see a farmer. I guarantee they’ll wave back.

Happy Agriculture Week!

Olathe man dies in Cheney Lake bike race

Scenes from State basketball tournaments

Staff report

The Times-Sentinel

An Olathe man died last weekend during a bicycling race at Cheney State Park.

According to the Associated Press, William “Craig” Henwood, 48, died while taking part in the Rage Against the Chainring gravel bicycle race Saturday.

Reports say Henwood’s bike left the road. He hit his head after falling over his handlebars. The Hutch Post website reported that CPR was performed.

He responded for a time but eventually was pronounced dead at the scene.

An autopsy is planned to see if Henwood may have suffered a medical episode before falling off the bicycle. A friend said on Facebook that Henwood suffered a stroke.

A 20-mile group ride in celebration of Henwood’s life will be held at 10 a.m.

Sunday, starting from the Minsky’s Pizza parking lot in Olathe. A memorial will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday at Penwell-Gabel Mortuary, 14275 Black Bob Road in Olathe.

5A Powerlifting: Lions win State, Tigers 7th

Goddard High School hosted the 5A State powerlifting meet on Saturday, March 2.

Fisher leaves Garden Plain City Council after six years

By Sam Jack

The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

GARDEN PLAIN – Garden Plain City Council member Joe Fisher resigned his office last Wednesday, March 6, after six years of service on the

governing body.

“I’ve very much enjoyed serving. There just came a time where I had too many irons in the fire,” Fisher said after the meeting.

“I love the city and love the people I was working with.”

It is up to Mayor Kevin

Hammond to appoint Fisher’s replacement, subject to approval from city council members. Fisher was re-elected in November 2018; the appointee will serve the remainder of his two-year term.

In other business: • Keith Born addressed

the city council about rough plans to open a bar and grill on Main Street.

He asked the council to consider providing some kind of financial assistance. The council will discuss his request during its next meeting on April 1.

• The council accepted

the resignation of wastewater operator Aaron Kirchert. Kirchert’s last day was March 8. The city is now searching for a new operator.

• The council decided to purchase a new Ford F250 pickup truck for the use of the gas department

and pay for it out of the gas utility fund. The gas department’s current truck is almost 20 years old and needs some expensive repairs.

• The council approved Ordinance 701, annexing railroad right-of-way into the city.

Animal hospital cuts ribbon on new home

By Sam Jack

The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

GODDARD – On March 2, members of the Goddard Chamber of Commerce joined staff at Prairie Ridge Animal Hospital to cut the ribbon on its new home, located across the street from its old location, at Kellogg and Hornecker Street just

west of 119th.

The business was outgrowing its old location, said owner Dr. Melanie Summers.

“We wanted to make sure we had plenty of room as we grew: plenty of parking, plenty of space for clients, plenty of exam rooms so we could continue to see more patients,” Summers said.

The new Prairie Ridge

has several added amenities, including an indoor play area for pets, additional space for boarding, a retail space, a separate boarding area for cats, and a memory garden.

On the medical side of things, the new facility has four exam rooms, up from two at the old location. It also has an isolation room with a separate entrance, allowing the hospital to

serve sick pets without spreading contagious diseases. Wifi and Bluetooth-enabled technology makes it easy to keep track of whether rooms are dirty or clean, occupied or empty.

The hospital has two veterinarians on staff and is looking to add a third.

In total, Prairie Ridge has close to 20 employees.

How much her busi-

ness has grown since she started it in 2014 is “a little overwhelming at times,” Summers said.

“We’re always trying to make sure we’re doing the best we can for our clients and patients. As we get busier, we just want to make sure we continue doing a great job for everybody.”

Prairie Ridge is open 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays; closed Sundays. For more information or to schedule an appointment, visit www. prairieridgeah.com or call 316-201-6292.

I am completing an exercise in patience and letting go at my house.

I recently undertook a major remodeling project, and for the first time in my life, I am not the general contractor for this work.

Talk about letting go…

I did construction work for several years while I was finishing up college, and even flipped a few houses before that was a household phrase. We called it “living in a house, fixing it up and then selling it.”

About 15 years ago when we built a new home

Paul Rhodes | Publisher & Editor

in Goddard, I took over when the sheetrock work was done and finished the house. A few years later, I finished the basement myself.

But with this project,

things are a little different. Heart surgery last year made me assess my physical limitations, so when I decided to remodel my master bathroom, I brought in a professional.

We are now a week and a half into this project, and things are looking great.

We (my contractor and his crew) removed an old, small shower stall and a soaker tub with jets that I never used. We (again, my contractor and his crew) are now building a large, walk-in shower space in their place.

er space is going to be beautiful – and more importantly – functional as I get older. It’s spacious, with room for a bench to sit on, and shower options for sitting or standing. I’m sure I will wonder how I lived this long without it.

But in the meantime, I’m biting my nails while someone else does all the work.

For the past 10 days I’ve managed to keep my distance from the work crew…and I’ve managed to keep my mouth shut as these pros get their work done. My services have

been limited to cleanup duties every night after the next step in the process has been completed.

Try as they might to keep the mess under control, there’s always a fresh layer of dust around the house when the day’s work is done.

That’s when I come in to dust and vacuum so that I can keep my allergies under control through this process and sleep at night without freaking out about the extra dirt in my house.

mess around my house, so that makes me the perfect choice to staff the cleanup crew during this renovation project. Pretty soon the dirty work will be done, and the bathroom will start taking shape as a finished project, rather than a work in progress.

When the work is finally done, I won’t be able to step back and say, “yep, I did that.” But I will be able to step back and say something almost as impressive, as far as I’m concerned: “Yep…I let someone else do that.”

Sunshine Week puts spotlight on government It’s been a grueling winter.

We’ve had record snowfalls in parts of Kansas, and cabin fever has taken its toll on all of us.

The time has come for a hearty dose of sunshine.

There could be no better time to be observing National Sunshine Week, a time for citizens and elected officials alike to recommit themselves to the ideals of open government.

National Sunshine Week is March 10 through 16.

The week is a joint effort between the American Society of News Editors, the Reporters Committee on Freedom of the Press and the various associations that promote open government across the nation, including the Kansas Press Association, the Kansas Association of Broadcasters and the Kansas Sunshine Coalition for Open Government.

Why should Kansans care about this?

Because although public officials often talk a good line on transparency when running for office, when it comes time to walk the walk in Topeka or Washington, D.C., they hide behind a myriad of excuses for why secrecy is preferable.

Here are just a few of the excuses we hear almost every year at the Kansas Statehouse: • We can’t have frank discussions about the issues when the press is breathing down our necks.

• We can’t record all committee votes because they will be used against us in the next election.

Guest Column Doug Anstaett Kansas Press Association

• We can’t have a hearing on every bill filed or we’d be here forever.

• We can’t get the best results legislatively unless we use procedures such as “gut and go” and bill bundling to break logjams.

• We can’t afford the technology to video stream from every hearing room at the Capitol.

Do you detect a recurring theme here?

“Can’t” seems to be the stock answer to every attempt to open up the political process.

It would be far more productive to discover ways to instead say “yes we can.”

The 450 newspaper and broadcast station members of KPA and KAB try to do their part to make sure public bodies are following the law, but they could use your help. Citizens who take their participatory form of government seriously can provide effective oversight when they attend meetings, seek records or observe their public officials in action.

You may wonder how you can help.

Do your local public bodies give proper notice of their meetings, well in advance so the public can attend?

When they do meet, do they discuss policy issues in public or do they seem to have their minds made up when the meeting begins,

as if they’ve ironed out all the wrinkles in advance and behind closed doors?

Do they abuse the closed session exceptions to the Kansas Open Meetings Act? And does it ever appear the body has voted outside the public meeting room, which is illegal?

If you observe any of the above, contact your local newspaper and tell a staff member what you have observed. Or you might consider writing a letter to the editor. Those who like to work in secret prefer not to be called out in public for their transgressions.

KOMA and the Kansas Open Records Act require that meetings and records of public bodies be open to the public.

When you attend meetings, seek public records and question those in authority about how they are conducting themselves, you are doing your part to help keep government open, accessible and accountable.

“Sunshine” is a perfect description of how government should operate. It means that the public’s business is discussed thoroughly in public, with the public’s participation, and it means decisions are never made behind closed doors.

Crash From Page 1A children in that vehicle: Alex Luben, 14; Caydence Luben, 12; Emma King, 5; and Calvin Hughes, 2.

The children in the Ford

are students in the Haysville School District.

Caleb Tobias was the most seriously hurt of the passengers. The last official report on his condition was provided last Thursday. It said that Tobias remained in critical condition at Wesley Medical Center.

“Our thoughts and prayers are definitely with the family,” said Clearwater USD 264 superintendent Paul Becker, who described the Tobias family as “wonderful.”

The crash happened about 7:09 a.m. Wednesday, and the first respond-

ers were on the scene at 7:21 a.m.

The intersection is frequently the site of accidents. Drivers on 71st Street have stop signs and flashing red lights. There are no rumble strips or other warning devices.

There are no traffic con-

trols for the north-south traffic on 135th Street.

Those crashes raised questions once again on just how safe the intersection is.

Last Friday, two days after the accident, a community meeting to discuss the intersection of 71st Street South and 135th Street West was announced. The meeting is being hosted

by Sedgwick County 2nd District Commissioner Michael O’Donnell. The 2nd District includes both Clearwater and Haysville, and the area between those communities.

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 20, in the Clearwater Middle School auditorium. Sedgwick County staff will be there to answer questions and

listen to concerns.

The Times-Sentinel and Haysville Sun-Times newspapers have asked Sedgwick County for information on traffic counts and accidents at the intersection. At press time Tuesday, no information had been made available.

The intersection is located three miles north of Clearwater and seven miles west of Haysville. A lot of traffic travels north and south on 135th Street West, which connects Clearwater to Wichita via Highway K-42 as well as Kellogg Avenue, located another four miles north of K-42. East-west traffic on 71st Street South runs east to Haysville and west to Clonmel and rural southwest Sedgwick County.

Owls fend off Sterling for 2A State title OT win in semifinal helps GP to second title in 2 years

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

The Garden Plain Owls are State champions again The Owls won their second consecutive girls State basketball title last Saturday, beating the Sterling Black Bears 47-40 at Gross Memorial Coliseum on the Fort Hays State University campus.

After one half of basketball, it appeared the Owls were going to cruise to their fifth State title in school history.

Neither team scored during the first two minutes of the game. The Owls got on the board first, thanks to a basket by Alli Puetz. The Owls then built a small first-quarter lead, going up 11-7.

Then they began to take over the game. Abby Gordon’s lay-up after a Sterling timeout gave the Owls a 15-point lead. At halftime, Garden Plain was ahead 29-15.

All this was done as starters Natasha Dooley, Kara Heimerman and Abby Gordon spent time on the bench with two fouls each.

“How big was our bench to come in and extend the lead and give us those minutes? It was huge,” said Garden Plain head coach Kody Kasselman.

But things changed in the third quarter and changed drastically. Sterling went on a big run, outscoring Garden Plain 12-0. The Owls failed to make a basket for more than six minutes in the quarter, as the Black

Bears pulled to within 2 points at 29-27.

Natasha Dooley’s jump shot with about 1:20 to go in the third quarter finally broke the drought. Kasselman had called a pair of timeouts in the quarter to try to break Sterling’s momentum.

“I didn’t know if I’d have any timeouts left,” he said. The Owls scored the final 4 points in the quarter, going back up by 6 points, 33-27, as the fourth quarter began.

The Black Bears kept clawing at the Owls during the fourth.

They pulled to within 2 points early in the quarter, and a 3-point basket with 3:30 to play pulled them to within a single possession of Garden Plain at 38-35.

Dooley answered with a basket from in the lane for a 40-35 lead with 2:37 to go, forcing Sterling to call a timeout. But 15 seconds later, Dooley was whistled for her fifth foul on a Sterling basket, and the free-throw was good as the Black Bears were back within 2 points at 40-38.

Sterling would not get any closer. Gordon made a free throw with 40 seconds left, and then sank a lay-up for a 43-40 lead with 1:20 to go. Danahy calmly made four free throws in the final 40 seconds to secure the victory.

Kasselman said last year’s experience helped the Owls stay calm as Sterling went on its run and during the game’s final minutes.

“We were poised. We played big defense. We hit some big free throws,” he said about his girls. “They’re pretty ice cold. We don’t get too high or too low...

We didn’t get caught up in the emotions of they game.”

“It’s definitely one of the coolest things I’ve ever experience,”

Cardinals lose heartbreaker in State final OT throw line with 1:31 to go and sank two shots, the second rolling around before dropping through for a 46-44 lead. Royal Valley tied it again by driving the lane for a short-range basket.

Scheer scored the first 2 points of overtime on a pair of foul shots. Royal Valley answered with a bucket and drew a foul, and took the lead 47-46.

Scheer scored quickly on a layup, and Royal Valley regained the lead just as quickly, 49-48.

The Cardinals missed their next shot. Royal Valley grabbed the rebound and then ran down the clock, burning off 1 minute and 21 seconds before Cheney was forced to foul with 1:09 to play.

Royal Valley’s Madison

Thomas made one of two shots.

O’Shea drew a foul at the other end and made two free throws, tying the game at 52 with just over a minute to play.

Royal Valley worked the clock before making a 3-point basket with 22.4 seconds to go. After a Cheney timeout, the Cardinals tried to find an open shot against Royal Valley’s pressure defense.

Cline managed to get off a shot that bounced off the glass before time ran out on the Cardinals.

“They made the plays at the end and we fell just short,” said coach Scheer.

“It was a great atmosphere for high school basketball...We went the farthest

The closest losses are often the hardest losses, but you are left asking “what if?”

The Cheney Cardinals came oh-so-close to the school’s second girls State basketball championship, falling 55-52 in overtime to Royal Valley, a team making its second straight appearance in the title game.

Midway through the second quarter, a basket

by Layne Needham was followed by a defensive rebound by Lexi Cline, who fed the ball downcourt to Destinee O’Shea that gave Cheney an 18-15 lead. After that, Kylee Scheer grabbed another defensive rebound and passed it to Olivia Albers, who fed Camdyn Pipkin for 2 points under the basket. Albers followed with a 3-point basket, and Cheney led 23-16.

Royal Valley closed the gap a bit over the final minutes of the first half, but Cheney still had the

lead at halftime, 24-19.

Cheney’s run came after Royal Valley took an early lead in the first-quarter.

“They came out strong early, and I was pleased with the way we responded to get the lead at halftime,” said Cheney head coach Rod Scheer.

The Cardinals came out strong in the third quarter, going on a 7-0 run for a 12-point edge, 31-19. That was Cheney’s largest lead of the game.

Royal Valley began its comeback in the third quarter, and after three

quarters Cheney was up 39-32.

The fourth quarter belonged to Royal Valley, which doubled-up Cheney 14-7 in the final eight minutes of regulation. Both teams forced steals on the opening two possessions, and with five minutes to play, the Cardinals were clinging to a 43-42 lead.

With 2:58 to play, Needham made one of two free throws for a 44-42 lead, but Royal Valley answered with a quick score to tie the game at 44.

Owls From Page 1B Heimerman said. Within 12 months, the Owls have claimed two State basketball titles and a State volleyball title. “Not a lot of kids can say that.”

She said the second basketball title felt differently.

“We weren’t expected to be as good” after losing Taylor Joplin and Piper Bourne to graduation.

“This one felt extra special to us girls this year.”

She said playing on the same court where the Owls won State volleyball four months ago helped the players feel comfortable.

Danahy led the Owls in scoring with 15 points.

She was Garden Plain’s top scorer in all three State game. Gordon scored 10, her biggest output of the tournament. Kennedy added 6, Puetz and Dooley had 5 each, Christia Rose Gorges scored 3, Brooke Hammond had 2 and Heimerman scored 1.

Just getting into the title game took a championship-type effort.

The Garden Plain Owls found themselves trailing for much of Friday’s semifinal against the Wabaunee Chargers on Friday afternoon in Hays, a game the Owls won 55-51 in overtime over the top seed in the tournament.

While the game was close from start to finish, the Owls were the ones

Cards From Page 1B you can go.”

Scheer was Cheney’s top scorer in all three games, getting 15 points against Royal Valley. O’Shea closed out her high school career with a double-double, scoring 10 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.

Needham, the Cardinals’ other senior, contributed 14. Other scorers were Olivia Albers with 7, Cline with 4 and Pipkin with 2.

On Friday night at the Hutchinson Sports Arena The Cardinals jumped out to a fast start against the Nemaha Central Thunder, a 60-48 semifinal victory for Cheney.

Kylee Scheer opened with a pair of 3-point baskets and a Destine O’Shea bucket made it 8-0 when the game was barely two minutes old. By the end of the quarter, Cheney led 17-6, and it was 30-14 at halftime.

The Cardinals led by as many as 20 in the first half, and by as many as 22 in the third quarter, when they doubled up the Thunder 44-22.

Nemaha Central closed the gap in the fourth quarter, outscoring Cheney 18-12, and got to within 11 points in the closing minutes but never really threatened Cheney’s hold on the game.

Scheer led all scorers with 25 points, and Destinee O’Shea and Layne Needham added 15 each.

playing from behind most of the afternoon.

But they kept hanging around, and when they needed a big basket they got it from senior Lauren Danahy. With time winding down, she passed the ball to Kara Heimerman, who turned down a chance to take a 3-point shot. Instead, she dribbled a couple steps closer to the basket, drawing defenders to her, and then passed back to Danahy. Danahy lined up a shot and sank it from behind the 3-point arc, tying the game at 47 and giving the Owls new life in overtime.

Heimerman said she didn’t want to take that shot.

“It dribbled it in and I could hear Lauren yell, ‘No, we need a three!”

Heimerman said. She wanted to clear some space, she said.

“I said, ‘Here, you shoot it,” she added.

“That was huge,” Kasselman said. “To be able to withstand them defensively to win it. Who better to hit it than Danahy? She’s been key for us all season.

“That’s what you live for – the big moment.”

The Owls outscored the Chargers 8-4 in the extra four minutes to secure the game and earn a spot in a title game for the second straight season.

Danahy was the driving force in this win, scoring a game-high 20 points. The Owls spread around the rest of the scoring, with 8 points from Heimerman

Needham was a perfect 3-for-3 from behind the 3-point arc, while Scheer and O’Shea both went 4-for-6. Olivia Albers contributed 3 points and Camdyn Pipkin had 2.

Cheney made just 12 turnovers while forcing the Thunder into 21 turnovers.

The story of Cheney’s 65-43 first-round win over No. 8 Columbus last Wednesday can’t be told without focusing on the record-setting offensive performance of Scheer, who lit up the scoreboard with 38 points. That set a new single-game scoring record for the 3A State tournament.

Coach Scheer said Kylee didn’t get the record just through 3-point shots.

“We had steals and kicked it out to her. She had assists. She did it in variety of ways,” he said, noting that Kylee made a number of pull-up jump shots. “We hadn’t seen that all year. Her teammates deserve credit for that, too.”

Scheer went 17-for-24 (71 percent) in that game and made four of nine 3-pointers. Scheer nearly outscored Columbus on her own, but she got help from seniors O’Shea and Needham, who added 10 points each. Jones added 4 points and Pipkin had 3. The Cardinals shot 45 percent for the game.

O’Shea added a trio of 3s, going 3-for-6 from behind the arc.

and Horacek, 7 from Dooley, 6 from Gordon, 5 from Alli Puetz and 1 from Gorges.

Garden Plain struggled a bit shooting for much of the game, but went 7-for-9 in the fourth quarter and was 2-for-2 on 3-point shots. Horacek hit a couple of key 3s in the second half, where she scored all of her points.

Turnovers hurt the Owls some. They gave away the ball 15 times, while the Chargers made just eight turnovers. But Garden Plain shot nearly 49 percent for the game, while Wabaunsee made 37 percent of its shots.

While Wabaunsee was the top seed and Garden Plain the No. 4 seed, the teams were close in records. The Chargers were just two wins better and only a game better in the loss column. That reflected

the competitive balance in the field, where the top seven teams had between 17 and 20 wins each. No. 8 Heritage Christian Academy was the only outlier, entering the tournament with a 9-12 record.

Garden Plain got off to a hot start in its first-round game against No. 5 West Elk, The Owls jumped out to a 14-4 lead and beat the Patriots 52-40.

Three Owls were in double figures, led by Danahy.

She had a double-double with 15 points and 18 rebounds. Abby Gordon added 14 points and Natasha Dooley had 10 to give Garden Plain three players in double figures.

That early start proved to be the key difference in the game. At halftime, the Owls still led by 10 points, 23-13, and after three quarters had a 9-point edge, 34-25.

Garden Plain shot 40 percent for the game. They went just 3-for-11 in the third quarter, but were a more efficient 3-for-6 in the final frame.

Danahy and Heimerman played key roles throughout the tournament. Danahy’s contributions stand out.

But Kasselman said Heimerman’s efforts don’t show up on a state sheet.

“Kara guarded the best player in our games. She guarded the people who drove those teams,” he said.

That included holding Sterling’s Kali Briar scoreless in the title game, and keeping Wabaunsee’s to player to half her season average.

It was a team effort, however. Kasselman noted that Gordon was consistent through the tournament and hit several big shots, especially on Saturday. Dooley also hit

several key baskets, including the one that broke Sterling’s comeback run.

Alli Puetz had a tooth knocked out during Friday’s semifinal.

“She brought it over to the bench in her hand,” Kasselman said. The tooth was put back in before Saturday’s championship.

Horacek had several key 3-point baskets, especially in the substate championship against Conway Springs and during overtime of the State semifinal that allowed the Owls to close out that win.

Claire Clark, Hammond and Gorges made critical baskets, too.

“When they went in, they kept us rolling,” Kasselman said.

Garden Plain finishes the season with a 20-4 record. The Owls, seeded fourth at State, beat the No. 1 and No. 3 teams.

game, giving away the ball just 14 times. Meanwhile, Columbus committed 23 turnovers.

The Cardinals will lost O’Shea and Needham to graduation.

“Layne provided so much in terms of lead-

ership and defense,” Rod Scheer said. “Destinee had a whale of a senior season.

I’m probably most proud of her senior leadership.”

The coach had praise for all of the players who took the court during State. He said Cline took over the

point guard role and often did more than people realized. Halley Jones did the same, he said, helping out with point guard duties.

Albers and Pipkin did a great job off the bench and contributed key baskets in Hutchinson.

Cheney ends the seasons with a 23-3 record. Two of those loses came to teams who won State championships – Royal Valley and Garden Plain.

Improve your home’s entertaining space

Some homes are seemingly built for entertaining, while others may need a little help to make them more fit for hosting dinner, holiday gatherings or an evening with friends.

Overall, one-quarter of people entertain guests in their home either daily or weekly across the globe. One-third entertain monthly, according to findings from GFK Insights.

People who open their homes to loved ones may want to make some modifications to their spaces to improve the experience for all involved.

• Tame the clutter. Look for ways to reduce clutter in rooms where entertaining takes place. Built-ins with bookshelves and cabinets can hide electronics and wayward toys or collectibles. Focus attention on the entryway, hanging hooks for collecting coats, keys and shoes, so they do not overrun the foyer. Remove any knickknacks or other breakable items from shelves or on coffee tables to free up more space.

• Improve conversation seating. Arrange tables and chairs to create conversation nooks for guests who want to talk and get to know one another better. Consider moving out big and bulky sofas in favor of love seats or comfortable chairs that will take up less room and improve flow in entertaining areas.

• Find the pieces you like. Think about how you tend to entertain and then cater your space to those preferences. For example, a large dining table with fold-out extensions or leaves is ideal for someone who regularly hosts formal dinner parties. Renovate a room to include a small bar and club chairs for a lounge feel if cocktail parties are typical.

• Improve lighting. Work with an electrician and/or designer who can offer ideas for lighting that can set the mood for entertaining. Rooms that are dull and dim can benefit from overhead lighting fixtures if there are none already available. Task lighting in the kitchen under

A few improvements around the house can make entertaining more comfortable for hosts and their guests.

cabinets can make it easy to prepare food for guests. Wall sconces or focused lighting on artwork can establish a dramatic effect.

• Do major construction. Consider working with a builder to make some changes if you simply don’t have the space to entertain. Taking down a wall can open kitchens to living spaces, while adding a

deck or three-season room off the kitchen or dining room can provide more space for guests to congregate.

• Install a guest bath. Update or add a bathroom near the main entertaining areas. This allows guests to discretely use the bathroom and keeps them from roaming in areas of the house you would prefer they avoid.

Emerging deck trends for homes

Custom-built decks can expand usable outdoor entertaining spaces.

Decks can surround pools and create outdoor patio areas that make it easy to establish multitiered living spaces, improving the functionality of outdoor areas.

Certain deck trends have emerged as industry experts’ top picks for the upcoming remodeling and renovation season. For those thinking of revamping an existing deck, or building an entirely new one, these trends are on point.

• Established perimeters: “Picture framing” is not a new trend, but one that has taken greater hold in recent years. The term refers to aesthetically appealing designs that conceal the ends of deck boards for a clean finish.

Some designs feature contrasting material colors on the ends for even more impact. This helps create refined perimeters for a polished look.

• Roof-top decking: Urban areas also can benefit from decking to create

usable outdoor spaces. In fact, many new condominium and townhouse communities are incorporating roof-top decks into their designs, particularly in communities with water views or other impressive vistas. HGTV experts suggest roof-top decks feature light-colored materials and fixtures to help keep the area cool even in direct sunlight.

• Distressed hardwood: Builder and Developer, a management resource for professional homebuilders, says that the trend for using distressed hardwoods at home has migrated outside. Some decking manufacturers have recently introduced low-maintenance composite deck boards that mimic the look and feel of distressed, rustic hardwood flooring. This weathered appearance gives the look of age without the upkeep of real aged wood.

• Wooden walkways: Decking can be the more traditional design people envision with a patio table or outdoor furniture. But it also can consist of wooden

walkways or a low-laying patio to accentuate the yard.

• Mixed materials: Homeowners may be inspired by commercial eateries, breweries and urban markets in their exterior design choices.

Decks featuring composite materials and aluminum railings blend sophistication, urban appeal and comfort.

• Personal touches: Homeowners can customize their decks with personal touches. It’s not unheard of to wrap columns in stone or glass

tiles for more impact. And a vast array of decking colors now enables fun interpretations for outdoor areas.

• Fire pit conversation area: Many decks can incorporate water or fire elements for visual appeal.

Gas-fueled fire elements can expand the functionality of decks beyond the warm seasons, or make enjoying them practical on nights when the temperature plummets.

Decks are reimagined in many different ways with continually evolving trends.

Benefits of freestanding tubs

Few home design elements provide the instant wow factor of freestanding tubs. Freestanding tubs have an air of luxury that can help current homeowners relax, and impress buyers when homes go on the market.

Freestanding tubs are typically made of cast iron or porcelain. The home improvement website HomeAdvisor notes that cast iron is durable and solid and retains heat well, which is great for those who want to spend more than a little time relaxing in a freestanding tub.

However, because cast iron is so heavy, installing a cast iron tub may require structural reinforcement of the flooring, which will add to the overall cost of the project.

According to HomeAdvisor, the average cost to install a tub varies widely depending on the type of tub, the materials its made of and other factors, including plumbing and piping. For example, the cost to install a freestanding tub will rise considerably if new plumbing and piping are necessary.

Before purchasing a freestanding tub, homeowners should seek estimates regarding installation, making sure to get

them in writing. Contractors will determine if structural reinforcement is necessary and include such costs in their estimates. In addition, make sure to ask contractors to investigate piping and plumbing so no surprises pop up after the tub has been purchased and work has begun.

If estimates from contractors aren’t budget busting, homeowners can consider these benefits of freestanding tubs before making their final decisions.

• Cleaning: Because they’re detached from other bathroom fixtures and not flush against the wall, freestanding tubs tend to be easier to clean than built-in bathtubs. Freestanding tubs are accessible from all sides, making it easy to reach all those nooks and crannies where grime can build up.

• Return on investment: In its 2018 ‘Cost vs.

Value” report, Remodeling magazine noted that upscale bathroom remodels recouped 56.2 percent of their cost at resale. That was a better return on investment than an upscale kitchen remodel (53.5 percent) and an upscale master suite addition (48.3 percent). The thought of a

sizable return on investment can make relaxing in a freestanding tub that much more enjoyable.

• Warmth: Even free-

standing tubs made of materials other than cast iron offer great heat retention.

Stone resin bathtubs, for example, provide excellent

insulation on cold nights.

That’s ideal for people who want to unwind in the tub without having to exit early because the water has

become cold.

Freestanding tubs can transform regular bathrooms into luxurious oases.

If estimates from contractors aren’t budget busting, homeowners can consider these benefits of freestanding tubs before making their final decisions.

Outdoor improvements that boost home value

Whether home improvement projects are designed to improve the interior or exterior of a house, focusing on renovations that make the most financial sense can benefit homeowners in the long run. The right renovations can be assets if and when homeowners decide to sell their homes.

So how does one get started? First and foremost, speak to a local real estate agent who is knowledgeable about

trends in the community.

While a swimming pool may be something coveted in one area, it may impede sales in another.

It also helps to study generalized trends and data from various home improvement industry analysts to guide upcoming projects.

The following outdoor projects are just a few renovations that tend to add value.

• Fire pit: A fire pit is a great place to gather most

months of the year. Bob Vila and CBS news report that a fire pit realizes a 78 percent return on investment, or ROI. • Outdoor kitchen: Many buyers are looking to utilize their yards as an extension of interior living areas. Cooking, dining and even watching TV outdoors is increasingly popular. Outdoor living areas can be custom designed and built. In addition, prefabricated modular units that require

a much smaller commitment of time and money are available.

• Patio: Homeowners who do not already have a patio will find that adding one can increase a home’s value. Patios help a home look neat, add useable space and may help a home to sell quickly. The experts at Space Wise, a division of Extra Space Storage, say that refinishing, repairing and building a new patio offers strong ROI.

• Deck: Deck can be as valuable as patios. A deck is another outdoor space that can be used for entertaining, dining and more. Remodeling magazine’s 2018 “Cost vs.

Value” report indicates that an $11,000 deck can add about $9,000 in resale value to the home, recouping around 82 percent of the project’s costs.

• Door update: Improve curb appeal with a new, high-end front door and garage doors. If that’s too

expensive, a good cleaning and new coat of paint can make an old door look brand new. These easy fixes can improve a home’s look instantly.

• New landscaping: The National Association of Realtors says an outdoor makeover that includes well-thought out landscaping can net 105 percent ROI. Installing a walkway, adding stone planters, mulching, and planting shrubs are ideas to consider.

Is it time to replace old wiring?

Old homes can be charming and contain architectural elements not often seen in many modern housing developments.

But what older homes may have in design appeal, they may lack in updated features.

While cosmetic changes are not necessarily difficult, one area of concern in historic homes – and sometimes even in houses built 40 or 50 years ago – is archaic wiring. Wiring

provides power to every room of the home. In today’s electronics-driven society, electricity that works is an essential component of daily life.

Over time, wiring can be compromised through simple aging, pest infiltration, weather, or other conditions. Deteriorated wiring can present a shock hazard and also a serious fire hazard, warn the home renovation experts at The Spruce. Furthermore, the

home improvement site This Old House advises that the amperage of old wiring may not be able to meet the needs of the devices used in homes, overpowering the circuits.

This can cause breaker blowouts and other problems, such as overheated wires that may spark and cause fires from within the wall.

Wiring often falls into the “out of sight, out of mind” category. Home-

owners may make allowances for inadequate electrical systems, such as running extension cords or using multiplug connectors to increase their wiring capacity. However, they may not be diligently keeping on top of upgrades needed to stay safe.

Confirming that a home’s electrical system is safe is a necessary part of home maintenance.

For those who haven’t already done so, schedule an inspection with a licensed electrician to go over the home’s wiring.

He or she can determine if any areas pose a safety risk and/or do not conform to local code requirements and the National Electrical Code. Failure to meet code can lead to difficulty obtaining permits to make other home renovations, or difficulty selling a home later on.

The electrician can also go over improvements that can improve safety and function. Additional outlets, including GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, may be part of the plan, as well as

rewiring a fuse box or circuit panel to allow for better flow of power around the house. Frayed wiring or underinsulated wiring also may need to be replaced.

Owners of old homes should recognize possible electrical system dangers that require attention.

Plus, considering electrical codes change quite frequently, it is always in a homeowner’s best interest to work with a qualified electrician to keep wiring inspected and up to date.

Helping customers bring a new Spring look to their home

Integrity Coatings is the only remaining family-owned paint store in the Wichita area. Located at 1446 South 135th Street West, Integrity Coatings has become recognized as a leader in quality paint and stain products.

Monte Thompson started the business in 2005. As the business has grown and expanded, its customer base also has expanded. Integrity Coatings has become known for its ability to help people with many paint and stain problems.

“What we’ve found is that we get recommended by many of our competitors because we can typically solve a customer’s problem,” said Monte.

Monte spent most of his adult life as a salesman for several large paint companies. Originally from Chanute, he and his wife, Diana, who now owns and operates Integrity Coatings, moved to Wichita in 1984.

Diana had been working in the insurance industry but joined Monte at Integrity Coatings soon after the business opened. Now, she owns and operates the location with manager Curt O’Rear, who managed

the Grey Seal Paint Store for 16 years before joining Integrity Coatings. Monte provides technical support and lends a helping hand in the store.

“Making a color change on your home is a great way to come out of winter and into spring,” said Diana.

“You get a great looking home and added protection

for the most expensive asset you have.”

If your budget is tight, maybe refresh the color on your home’s front door. Also, adding shutters to your windows can add a new look.

“Another great idea is to refresh your deck,” said Diana. “We have solid color stain materials that will give you several more years of wear on an old deck.”

Integrity Coatings handles multiple lines of paints and stains, far beyond what other paint stores may be able to offer. Therefore, Integrity Coatings can find the best product for each customer’s needs.

“We also carry hardware,” said Diana. “We’re stocked with almost anything you would need for your painting project.” The store features many coatings for residential, commercial and industrial applications, including floors, decks, fences, barns, concrete, roofs and pools.

Defining hardscape and how to use it

Curb appeal is beneficial in various ways. Curb appeal can make a home more attractive to prospective buyers and give existing homeowners a place they want to come home to. In its study of the worth of outdoor remodeling projects, the National Association of Realtors found standard lawn care and overall landscape upgrades were most appealing to buyers, as well as the most likely to add value to a home.

Although plants, grass and other items can improve curb appeal, homeowners should not overlook hardscaping.

Hardscaping is an industry term that refers to the non-living features of a landscape. These features can include everything from decks to walkways to ornamental boulders.

Introducing paths or paver walls to a property helps develop that home’s hardscape. Hardscape and soft elements often work in concert to create inspiring landscape designs.

DIY landscape designers can heed certain tips to make the most of hardscape features on their properties.

As with many landscaping projects, homeowners must first determine what types of additions they

Hardscaping refers to the elements in a landscape that aren’t living, such as paths, walls and fences.

would like on their properties. Common hardscape features include patios, decks, walkways of pavers or bricks, and retaining walls. Hardscape elements can be functional or simply decorative features that add whimsy to the yard.

The right style allows hardscaping and softscaping materials to work together. For example, homeowners may want to give their yards an eastern feel, complete with a koi pond and decorative bridge or trellis. A formal

English garden, however, may include manicured paths with stepping stones and ornate topiaries. Mixing too many styles together can take away from the overall appeal.

The pros suggest looking at the overall plan of the design, even if all of the work can’t be completed at once. This way the eventu-

al finished project wil be cohesive.

Hardscaping can look good but also serve key purposes. Pebbles or gravel can mitigate trouble areas that don’t grow grass or plant life well. Retaining walls hold back soil in yards with sharply inclined hills. Mulch can set perimeters around trees and shrubs, as well as planting beds. Fencing, another form of hardscaping, is essential for establishing property boundaries and adding privacy.

While many hardscaping additions can be handled by novices, large-scale projects, such as patios and decking, can change the grading of the yard. Professionals can map out how to handle drainage issues and meet building codes. In addition, professional installation can ensure hardscaping features last for years to come.

Hardscaping should blend with the nature around it and take its cues from the surrounding environment. This can help softscaping and hardscaping work as one.

What’s the cost of remodeling projects?

Each year, Remodeling magazine publishes its “Cost vs. Value” report to give homeowners a greater understanding of how much popular home projects will cost across the nation, as well as which renovations will offer the greatest return on investment.

According to their research, these projects improved in value between 2017 and 2018 and can be smart choices for homeowners looking to add popular features to their properties. Below are the popular projects and the average cost of the renovations.

• Midrange bathroom addition: $44,717 • Midrange bathroom remodel: $19,134 • Midrange deck addition (wood): $10,950 • Midrange entry door replacement (steel): $1,471 • Upscale garage door replacement: $3,470 • Midrange manufactured stone veneer: $8,221 • Midrange minor kitchen remodel: $21,198 • Midrange siding replacement: $15,072 • Midrange universal design bathroom: $16,393 • Upscale window replacement (vinyl): $15,955

Questions to ask before DIY

Home improvement projects are as popular as ever. In its 2017 True Cost Survey, the home improvement site HomeAdvisor found that, between February 2016 and February 2017, homeowners spent an average of just over $5,000 on home projects.

That marked a nearly $1,900 increase from the year prior, indicating that homeowners are increasingly opening their wallets to transform their homes.

In addition to spending money to improve their homes, many homeowners are spending their time on projects as well. While DIY projects can provide a sense of fulfillment and personal attachment to one’s home, prospective do-it-yourselfers should ask themselves some questions before picking up their hammers and getting to work.

capable of performing certain tasks or may need to take frequent breaks, which can delay projects.

Do I have the time?

Many home improvement projects require a significant amount of time to complete. Homeowners whose time is already stretched thin with commitments to work and/or family may not be able to complete projects within a reasonable amount of time. That’s fine if working on a part of the home that won’t affect daily life, but can prove stressful or problematic if the project is in a room, such as a kitchen or bathroom, that residents of the home use each day. Novice DIYers should be especially honest with themselves about the time they have available to work on the project, as such homeowners are bound to experience a few time-consuming missteps along the way.

Do I have any physical limitations?

No matter how much home improvement television shows may simplify projects, prospective DIYers should know that such undertakings are typically very difficult and oftentimes physically demanding. Homeowners with existing health conditions or other physical limitations may not be

Can I afford it?

While DIY might seem more affordable than hiring a contractor, that’s not necessarily true.

Novice DIYers may need to buy or rent tools, costs that can add up. Contractors already have the tools necessary to begin and complete projects, so the cost savings of DIY might not be as significant as homeowners think. Before going the DIY route, homeowners should solicit estimates from contractors, comparing the estimates to how much a project will cost if homeowners do it themselves.

Can I go it alone?

Many home improvement projects require more than one set of hands, and it’s risky and even foolish for first-time DIYers to assume they can begin a project and

see it through to completion entirely on their own. Homeowners whose spouses, partners, friends, or relatives are willing to chip in may think that’s enough. However, the DIY skills of those who volunteer may be a mystery until the project begins. Novice DIYers should enlist the help of a friend or family member with home improvement experience. If no such person is available, it may be wise to hire a contractor instead.

Goddard stunned at 5A State opener

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

Goddard’s bid for its first-ever girls State basketball championship ended with a 36-34 loss to the Blue Valley Southwest Timberwolves.

It was a close game start to finish. A 3-point Southwest lead after one quarter

was turned around by the Lions, who went up 23-17 at halftime.

Southwest started the third quarter with a 9-1 run, taking the lead back from the Lions to go up 26-25 at the 4:45 mark.

The Lions got the lead back on a pair of Kade Hackerott free throws, who was a perfect 6-for6 from the line for the

game.

That sparked a 7-0 run as the Lions went ahead again, 32-26, just before the end of the third quarter. But the Lions – who had struggled to make shots during the game – managed just 2 more points in the fourth quarter. An 8-0 run by Southwest put the Timberwolves ahead 34-32 with 2:22 to

play. Hackerott made a pair of free throws with 1:24 to go to tie the game at 34, but the Lions missed field goals and free-throw opportunities in the last few minutes.

A foul call on the Lions gave Southwest a pair of free throws, which were converted for a 36-34 lead with 1:01 to play.

Kade Hackerott and

Brooke Sullivan accounted for nearly all of the Lions’ scoring. Hackerott had a game-high 18 points to go with seven rebounds.

Sullivan added 14 points and pulled down two rebounds. Torri Vang had 2 points and six rebounds. Sullivan forced a team-high three steals, Hackerott had two and Vang forced a steal.

The Lions shot just 24 percent for the game.

Southwest was not great, but they were better at 31 percent. Goddard shot just 16 percent after halftime, making just three of 19 attempts from the field in the second half. The Lions went 3-for-16 from behind the 3-point line, making two of those shots in the first half.
