Schulte resident Greg Schurr is the proud owner of a 1968 California Special Mustang.

The California Special was marketed with the catchphrase “California Made it Happen,” and featured a distinctive trunk and tail lights, as

well as decorative side scoops.

Only 4,114 of the special-edition Mustangs were ever produced, making them highly-sought collectors items. Greg’s Mustang is especially special to him because it has been in his family ever since it was brand new.

His father, Steve, bought it as a

Baker trains budding chefs

By Sam Jack

The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

CHENEY – Stop by Willowleaf Bakery and Coffee Bar some morning and you’ll almost certainly be greeted by proprietor Shelly Wing. You may also run into Jade Bachard or Kevin Watson.

Bachard, a pastry chef, is completing an internship at Wing’s bakery, the final step of her training at the Lincoln Culinary Institute in Shelton, Conn. Watson, 14, is a homeschool student from Garden Plain who gets one-on-one cooking instruction from Wing.

Wing has always enjoyed sharing her skills as a baker with others, she said. In addition to her two current students, she has worked with students in Cheney High School’s culinary arts program, giving them a taste of what a career in her industry could be like.

“One thing they learn is that it’s not like the stuff you see on TV,” Wing said.

Bachard spent her childhood in Wichita before moving to Connecticut with her parents, Kimberly and Roger Bachard, at age 12. As she was finishing high school, her parents moved to Cheney. She is

staying with them while completing her internship, which will continue into December.

“I’m used to city life and suburbs, not a town of 2,000 people,” Bachard said. “It’s a lot different, but I love working in this bakery.”

Bachard has always enjoyed making food, especially cookies, desserts and treats.

“Everyone likes desserts,” she said. “Here, I’ve been doing a lot of French macarons and coconut macarons. I’ve done cream puffs and Napoleons.”

Bachard recently made a cake for a wedding re-

hearsal dinner.

“It was a beautiful cake, and (the customer) made a special trip to tell us that it was well received,” Wing said.

Bachard plans to move back to Connecticut after completing her training in Cheney, but she’d eventually like to end up closer to family in Texas. Her ambition is to own and operate a small bakery similar to Willowleaf.

Watson is homeschooled by his mother, Jennie Watson, and his grandmother, Grace Watson. When he showed a persistent interest

Obituaries Lois Boerger

Patrick Rowland

Lois Bernice Boerger, age 84, died on Sept.

13, 2019, at Community Hospital in McCook, Neb., with her husband and children by her side.

Lois was born on Jan. 7, 1935, in Alta Vista, Kan., to the Rev. Walter and Flora (Brunkhorst) Wehmeier. She was the sixth of seven children. They moved to Cheney when she was a sophomore in high school. She played flute in the band there and was a homecoming queen.

To achieve her ambition of becoming a Lutheran elementary school teacher, she attended St. John’s Junior College in Winfield. On graduation, she taught at a Lutheran school in Rochester, Mich., during which time she met and married Fred Boerger in Utica, Mich., and became the mother of Cindy, Mike, Karen and Beth.

In 1964, they moved to Denver, Colo., to restart a Lutheran school in a diverse urban neighborhood where Fred served as principal/teacher and Lois was active in the church and served as needed, often as a substitute teacher. In 1974, they moved to Okarche, Okla., so Fred could be principal of a small-town school and their children could experience the small town living in which they, themselves, had been raised. While in Okarche, the children attended and graduated from OSU; OU; St. John’s, Winfield; and Concordia University, Seward, Neb. Lois and Fred moved to Chicago in 1985, where Fred was principal of a growing Lutheran school on the south side until 1994, when they retired and moved to McCook to be near their grandchildren. While in Chicago, Lois aided and taught one year in an urban school. Her greatest achievement was starting and facilitating a “before and after” school program for seven years at Fred’s school. We still hear from the parents and students she worked with there.

Lois and Fred have resided in McCook for 25 years.

During this time, they helped with their three grandchildren and took part in teaching church classes in Sunday School, mid-week school and vacation Bible school. Lois also joined a group of ladies making quilts for the needy.

Preceding her in death were her parents, Walter and Flora Wehmeier; son-in-law, Terry Roland; sister, Gertrude “Trudy” Danielson; and brothers, Pastor Walter Wehmeier and Robert Wehmeier.

Lois is survived by her husband, Fred Boerger of McCook; daughter, Cindy Boerger of Oklahoma City; son, Michael Boerger of Washington, D.C.; daughters, Beth (Jon) Sonntag of Wood Dale, Ill. and Karen Roland of McCook; grandchildren, Wyatt Roland, Jesselyn Roland, and Cody (Megan) Roland, parents of great-grandchild Aedan Roland; sister, Norma (Wayne) Fearey of Cheney; brothers, Gilbert (Elvera) Wehmeier of Topeka and Melvin (Frances) Wehmeier of Cheney; and numerous family and friends.

Services were Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2019 at 11 a.m. at Peace Lutheran Church, McCook, Neb. Memorials may be given to Peace Lutheran Church’s scholarship fund for the preschool or for individuals seeking a degree in church work, or can be given to Lutheran Bible Translators, in support of Serena & Elliott Derricks (a great niece of Lois).

Hermann-Jones Funeral Chapel of McCook was entrusted with the arrangements.

Patrick S. Rowland, 51, U.S. Army veteran and master carpenter, died Friday, Sept. 13, 2019.

Visitation will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 22, 2019, with family present 3:30 to 5 p.m., at Webb-Shinkle Mortuary, Clearwater.

Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 23, 2019, at Clearwater Church of Christ.

Rowland is survived by his mother, Cheryl (Lewis) Goin of Clearwater; father, William (Karen) Rowland of Clearwater; children, Caleb Hatch of Alliance, Neb., and Michael, Jack, Emma and Leah Rowland, all of Clearwater; brothers, Charles, Carl and Matthew Rowland; sister, Amanda (Andrew) Erwin; former wife, Linda; and three grandchildren.

A memorial has been established at Church of Christ, 13900 Diagonal Rd, Clearwater, KS 67026.

Anniversaries Crosses to mark 50 years Ken and Angela (Hoffman) Cross, members of St. Louis Parish in Waterloo, will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary with a family dinner.

They were married on Oct. 3, 1969, at St. Louis Church in Waterloo.

Ken is a Navy Vietnam veteran and since retired from Garvey and Cheney Golden Age Home. Angie is a beautician and is working in Wichita.

Giefers to celebrate 50 years Gene and Barbara Giefer of Cheney will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on Saturday, Sept. 28, 2019, with an open house from 2 to 4 p.m. at St. Rose Family Center in Mt. Vernon, Kan. Gene retired from the Kansas Air National Guard with 31 years of military service. Barbara is a retired day-care provider and homemaker.

They were married on Sept. 27, 1969 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Conway Springs. Their family includes 5 children: Gregory (Misty) Giefer, Cheney; Kelli (Brian) Crandall, Aurora, Colo.; Kevin (Janelle) Giefer, Spring, Texas; and twins Susan (Ryan) Scott, and Sheryl (Craig) Albers, both of Cheney. They have been blessed with 13 grandchildren.

The couple requests no gifts, only your prayers.

Former water system operator pleads guilty to federal charge GARDEN PLAIN – Former Garden Plain water system operator Arthur “Art” Wolfe on Monday pleaded guilty to falsifying a report on the quality of the city’s drinking water.

Wolfe was required to periodically test water from four sites

around Garden Plain and report the results to state and federal agencies. He instead got all his water samples from the city shop and falsely represented their sources.

Wolfe was initially accused of falsifying reports on two different occasions, but he admitted to providing false information only on a single report that was submitted to the Kansas

Department of Health and Environment and the Environmental Protection Agency on Dec. 22, 2017.

Now that Wolfe has pleaded guilty, he faces up to a year in federal prison and a fine up to $100,000. His punishment is likely to be less severe than that, since prosecutors are recommending a sentence at the low end of the guideline range in

return for his guilty plea. Sentencing is set for Dec. 2.

When Wolfe was indicted last October, KDHE employee William Carr said that, as far as he knew, Wolfe’s case was the first time a water system operator in Kansas had been federally charged.

“I asked around, and nobody could remember an instance where they’ve been

indicted or prosecuted,” he said. “We’ve had instances where we’ve revoked licenses based on various suspicions, but nothing that’s been escalated to indictment.”

In a press release announcing Wolfe’s plea, the office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Kansas thanked the Environmental Protection Agency for its work on the case.

Cheney City Council approves ban on grass clippings in streets

By Sam Jack The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

CHENEY – At its meeting last Thursday, the Cheney City Council approved an ordinance making it illegal for homeowners to blow their grass clippings or other yard debris out into the streets.

Yard waste clogs storm drains and increases the risk of flooding. It also can pollute streams and rivers. And it can be hazardous for bicyclists and motorcyclists, especially if grass clippings in the street get wet.

The vote to approve was 3-0; Jeff Albers and Greg Williams were absent.

Those who violate the new ordinance could be hit with a $100 fine, though police chief Ken Winter said he plans to give warnings for first offenses.

In other business: • The council voted to contract with Black Hills Energy for the city’s nat-

ural gas, switching away from current provider MCMC. Gas from Black Hills Energy will already be odorized, meaning that city workers will no longer need to odorize it themselves. Additionally, city administrator Danielle Young said that the service the city uses to negotiate gas purchases will be in a better bargaining position with Black Hills than with MCMC. The contract is for five years. Black Hills will need to approve of revisions requested by city attorney Austin Parker before it is finalized.

• Shelly Wing of Willowleaf Bakery asked for permission to put a picnic table in a public parking space in front of her Main Street business, on Saturday mornings. She plans to serve biscuits and gravy for breakfast on Saturdays and wants to give her customers a place to sit.

The city council ap-

proved her request and directed staff to work with her on the details. Council members and staff agreed that three parking spaces should be cordoned off in order to give diners sufficient elbow room.

• Victor Hogstrom of KPTS Channel 8 gave a presentation, seeking financial support from the city.

“We are seeking a partnership that would return to the city some great branding opportunities, promotional opportunities, and keep the name of the city of Cheney in front of our 42 counties, plus the possibility of the entire state,” he said.

In exchange for a donation of $1,000 or more, KPTS would include photos of Cheney and a slogan in brief station identification segments; would produce a 30-second spot highlighting the city; and would run that spot at a rate of $35 per airing.The mayor would also be in-

GODDARD – Goddard City Council members pushed the pause button Monday night on two proposed ordinances that would have changed city water and sewer rates.

City treasurer Matt Lawn said questions and concerns had been raised about the ordinances that were on the agenda, so he wanted to do some additional study before any action was taken. The concept behind what was on Monday’s agenda was to shift the burden of cost to usage.

In other words, those who use more water would pay more. Conversely, those at the lowest levels of water/ sewer usage would likely see smaller bills. Sewer use levels are set once a year during the winter.

“Folks who use less than 2,000 gallons will see their rate go down,” said city administrator Brian Silcott of the proposed ordinances.

Lawn said the city might run a “test” billing internally with new rates to see how it played out. He said he would come back to the council with additional information at a later date.

In other business, the council approved an agreement for telecommunications carrier IdeaTek Telecom, LLC to operate in the city. The company provides residential and small business internet, telephone services, Wi-Fi and fiber optic and communications services. IdeaTek is headquartered in Buhler.

Silcott said IdeaTek plans to use AT&T’s existing fiber network and a wireless system. The agreement calls for IdeaTek to pay a franchise fee equal to 5 percent of its gross receipts from sales within the city limits. The term of the franchise is 10 years.

Police chief Fred Farris said the drone already has been used during a recent Wichita area officer-involved shooting and vehicle chase.

The council also approved a waiver of the alcohol ordinance to allow consumption of beer and wine in Linear Park during the Goddard Fall Festival on Oct. 5, specifically from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. in the park pavilion and immediate surrounding area.

The request for the waiver came from the Goddard Area Chamber of Commerce, which will run the beer garden.

In other business, the council: • Appointed delegates to the annual League of Kansas Municipalities meeting Oct. 12-14 in Overland Park. Delegates appointed Monday night are mayor Jamey Blubaugh and council member Hunter Larkin. Alternate delegates will be Lawn and Brooke Brandenburg.

• Approved two ordinances that are updated annually: the 2019 Standard Traffic Ordinance and the 2019 Uniform Public Offense Code Ordinance.

City of Garden Plain works to boost business

By Sam Jack

The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

GARDEN PLAIN – On Friday morning, Sept. 13, more than 20 people met for coffee at Garden Plain City Hall to discuss business development in the city.

“We invited people that were business owners, whether near or in Garden Plain,” said Pam Weber, one of two city council members in attendance. “We want to fill empty buildings, revitalize our community and breathe new life into Garden Plain, and that starts with Main Street and our businesses.”

City council members are hoping to turn the “Have Coffee With Us” business events into a monthly occurrence.

The city council has also re-launched an economic development advisory committee. That group had its first meeting on Sept. 11.

“It was just the beginning; they pretty much strategized on what we want them as a committee to be doing,” said Mayor Kevin Hammond. “They’re going to put their heads together and get an idea of what needs to come first and how to do it. I think we’ve got a good group, so hopefully we see some progress here pretty soon.”

Incentives to support both new and current Garden Plain businesses were discussed at the regular city council

The city is planning to take part in a ribbon cutting, and officials say that in general, they want to do more to promote businesses through a variety of means.

“We’re going to show appreciation for our existing businesses, too,” Weber said. “We’re saying, ‘Hey, we have these people that have been here. Please take a look and recognize them.’”

At least two people have recently approached the Garden Plain City Council to test the waters on business incentives and opportunities in the city.

In March, Keith Born told the city council he was exploring the possibility of opening a destination steakhouse, to be called the Ol’ Barnwood Grill. City staff say they have not heard from him recently. Earlier this month, Dr. Eric McAnally of Goddard Family Dental told the council that he is considering whether to open a branch location in Garden Plain, possibly in partnership with a nurse practitioner or physical therapist.

Renwick approves $49,000 in invoices for bond projects

By Fred Solis The Clarion

On Monday night, the Renwick School Board approved $49,266.66 worth of invoices for the district’s various bond projects.

Voters approved a $28 million facilities improvement and bond election in April.

Safety and security of buildings were the priorities for the district with the bond issue. To address the concerns the district proposed adding security cameras, bullet-proof glass at the main school building offices, intercom video cameras, as well as additional facilities upgrades throughout the district.

At a special meeting Aug. 20, the board also approved a real estate purchase adjacent to St. Marks Elementary School along 29th Street North.

The district acquired the property – a house and lot along the east side of the school and the north side of the east parking lot – to improve parking at St. Marks and to improve the traffic flow off 29th Street.

Terms of the purchase were not disclosed.

How to create a winter-friendly outdoor living space

For many homeowners, the arrival of fall and winter marks an end to time spent lounging and dining al fresco on the patio. But cold air does not necessarily mean patio furniture must be packed up until flowers bloom anew in spring.

In its 2017 Home Design Trends Survey, the American Institute of Architects found that consumers continue to emphasize practical features that expand the functionality of their homes via heavy investment in outdoor living spaces. The survey found that the popularity of outdoor living spaces increased by 72 percent between 2012 and 2017, highlighting just how much homeowners enjoy spending time outdoors.

By taking measures to make their outdoor living spaces winterproof, homeowners can enjoy these areas of their homes even more.

• Cover your deck. A covered deck may appear to make the space less enjoyable during spring and summer. However, covered decks can protect residents from the sun on especially hot days while also making the space more functional in winter. An overhead shelter on a deck can be outfitted with heaters (and fans to provide a cooling effect in summer) and allow residents to sit outside and watch snow fall without getting wet.

• Plant the right trees.

Coniferous trees prevent wind, which can be especially harsh in winter.

Homeowners who are unsure about which direction

Covering a deck or patio and/or adding a fire feature are two ways to make outdoor living spaces more winter-friendly.

wind typically comes from can consult a landscape architect to determine where to plant the trees to ensure they’re most effective.

• Fire up the patio. A firepit or fireplace can

warm up an outdoor living area, making such a space warm and cozy even on a cold winter night. A patio with a built-in firepit can cost a pretty penny, but such an addition can

withstand winter weather better than a standalone firepit, which might be vulnerable to being tipped over by winter winds.

• Install lighting. The sun sets early in winter, so

homeowners won’t be able to rely on natural light to illuminate their outdoor living spaces well into the evening like they do in summer. Heat lamps can be used to both warm and

illuminate a space, serving dual, budget-friendly functions.

With the right adjustments, outdoor living spaces can be enjoyed throughout winter.

You dream it, Gross Tile can create it

For this custom bathroom project, Gross Tile removed an old, small shower and a never-used soaker tub. In it’s place, a large walk-in shower was created. The new bathroom space has a “retro” spa feel to it, including art deco accents and a new black onyx countertop.

When a homeowner in Goddard decided to create a strikingly different shower for his master bathroom, he knew just who to turn to for the renovation project.

“I had worked with Gross Tile and Custom Remodeling on other projects in the past, and they turned out great,” said the homeowner. “Those were all major flooring projects, but I also know that owner Mark Gross is one of the best when it comes to custom bathroom projects.”

The homeowner wanted to create a “retro” feel for his new shower, incorporating classic white subway tile and light blue hexagon floor tiles, along with a matching blue accent tile band.

“I wanted to get rid of the soaker tub that I never used and the small shower that I could barely turn around in,” said the homeowner. “I worked with Mark on the design and we used all of that space to create a large walk-in shower with no door, a half wall and a large glass pane above that.”

The shower plan left a large glass block window in place, which provides amazing natural light for the bathroom. The bathroom vanity stayed in place, but Gross Tile added a new black onyx countertop and new subway tile around it.

Existing fixtures were salvaged and reused and fit perfectly with the new bathroom look. An old popcorn ceiling was scraped smooth, and the walls were painted a light green color, giving the bathroom a spa feeling along with art décor accents.

“This is an amazing shower experience now,” said the

homeowner. “And the whole bathroom looks just like I had hoped it could.”

“Our clients often have some great ideas that turn out really cool,” said Mark Gross. “I really enjoy taking a client’s vision and turning it into something beautiful and functional.”

Owners Mark and Cathy Gross are native Wichitans, and they are known across the city as leaders in their industry. They take great pride in every job, and work with the newest and best materials, and the latest technological advances.

“We’ve got a lot of satisfied customers, and we want to continue to focus on our remodeling work, especially with bathroom renovations and custom showers,” said Mark. “I love it when I can share my ideas with clients and give them the ‘wow’ factor they’re looking for.”

Custom amenities – like heated bathroom floors and “curbless” custom showers – don’t have to be an expensive venture. That’s where Gross Tile can show clients just how to get the most out of their project budget.

With the holidays fast approaching, now’s the time to discuss your remodeling dreams with the experts at Gross Tile and Custom Remodeling. Just pick up the phone and call 316-773-1600, visit the company’s website, www.grosstileremodeling.com, or find Gross Tile on Facebook.

Indians come from behind to beat Mulvane

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

Nobody was sure the last time Clearwater beat Mulvane, said the Indians’ head coach Jeremy Schuefler.

So Friday’s 13-12 comefrom-behind victory over the Wildcats didn’t just move Clearwater to 2-0, it gave the Indians a victory over a rival for the first time in years – maybe in decades – although the Indians and Wildcats don’t face off every year.

Clearwater’s winning touchdown came in the third quarter, with Tanner

Cash throwing a 6-yard pass to tight end Trace Tjaden. The Indians had reached the Wildcats’ 1-yard line on a 38-yard hitch-and-go play to Drake Beatty, but got pushed back a bit on a pair of illegal procedure penalties. When fourth down came, the Indians gambled and went for it, and the gamble paid off.

“It was a dump pass to our tight end to beat the blitz. Tanner attacked the line and then threw to Trace,” said Schuefler.

Mulvane struck first, scoring in the first quarter on a 57-yard run. The Wildcats missed the extra point.

Stephanie McKennon/The Times-Sentinel

Trace Tjaden tackles a Mulvane runner during Clearwater’s victory. He also caught the winning touchdown on Friday night.

Clearwater took a 7-6 lead before the quarter ended, courtesy of a 15yard run by Cash.

The Wildcats went back on top in the second quarter, scoring on a 44-yard run by Cole Diffenbaugh,

Mulvane’s top weapon. The 2-point try failed.

The Wildcats started their second string quarterback, and then lost him to injury during the game.

That changed the game for both teams. Holding on to a 1-point lead, Clearwater played more conservatively, running Cash a lot to eat up time and shorten the game.

“We didn’t want to make a mistake and let Mulvane have a defensive touchdown,” Schuefler said.

He said it was a good win, but that the Indians still have quite a few things to get better at.

“It was an unbelievable defensive effort. Our

coaches had a good plan put together,” he said.

Offensively, the Indians gave up some sacks and missed some things in the passing game, but ultimately did enough to win.

Clearwater will have its first road game of the year playing at rival Wellington. The Crusaders are off to an 0-2 start, but have faced off against undefeated Collegiate and against Andale, the No. 2 team in Class 3A. Schuefler expects a tough game.

“Their kids are not used to losing to Clearwater.

They’re not used to being 0-2,” he said. “We’re excited to go play them.”

Cards, Lions win weekend tournaments

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

Cheney’s volleyball team claimed the Coleman Classic at Haven on Saturday, while Goddard rolled to its 14th consecutive victory en route to the title at Arkansas City.

Cheney won all five matches on Saturday in two sets, including beating Garden Plain – the No. 3 team in Class 2A – by a score of 25-19, 25-19.

Cheney handed the Owls their first match loss of the season.

The Cardinals’ closest match, however, was against Trinity Catholic.

The Cardinals needed extra points in the second set of a 25-21, 27-25 victory.

Cierra Harrison and Kylee Sheer were named to the all-tournament team.

Harrison had 12 digs in the Trinity win, and recorded seven kills against Haven. Scheer led the team in kills against Inman and Trinity, including 10 kills against Inman.

Goddard, the No. 10 team in Class 5A, won six matches at Arkansas City.

The Lions dropped their first two matches of the year, but have since reeled off 14 straight match wins.

The Lions faced a stiff challenge from Belle Plaine, the No. 5 team in Class 3A. The Dragons won the first match against Goddard, but the Lions bounced back to win the match in three sets.

The rest of the Lions’ wins were in two sets, and most were blowouts, including the victories over Mulvane, Wichita South and Winfield. After Belle Plaine, the strongest challenge came from the Ark City Bulldogs, who managed 22 points in the

The Owls took care of business on Sept. 10, with wins over St. John and Medicine Lodge at St. John.

The team recorded 24 kills against Medicine Lodge. Alli Peutz led the Owls with 13, and Natasha Dooley added 10. Dooley and Kennedy Horacek were perfect from the serve line with 11 attempts each. Claire Clark and Madysen Zoglman had 15 assists each.

Garden Plain opened the tournament with a two-set win over Haven, but turned around to play Cheney, which was playing in its first match of the day. Kingman and Inman stretched the Owls to three sets. Garden Plain also had a two-set win over Trinity Catholic.

Natasha Dooley and Kennedy Horacek were named to the all-tournament team.

“Natasha has been a steady and at time dominant attacker for us all season. She does a nice job adjusting her attacks to the sets and manages to take some really nice swings in tough situations. Kennedy is always one of our top passers. She has the most experience of anyone on the team with 4 years of varsity experience. She’s a good communicator, and has the ability to read very well defensively which makes us a much better team,” said head coach Gina Clark.

Lions shut out Bulldogs in road win

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

There was plenty of offense and defense from the Goddard Lions in their 48-0 victory at the Arkansas City Bulldogs last Friday.

The Lions bombarded the Bulldogs from the air, with seven touchdown receptions and 487 yards of passing offense. It was a big night for Blake Mitchell, who caught nine passes for three touchdowns and 243 yards. Jake Shope,

Reese Beason, Kaeden Hoefer and Soren Carr also had touchdown catches. Carr had 75 receiving yards, and Shope had 59.

Quarterback Kyler Semrad threw six of those touchdowns and racked up 398 yards, completing 23 of 39 pass attempts. Jacob Read threw for 37 yards and a touchdown, and Hoefer also threw for 37 yards.

Jack Enegren added 15 more yards.

The Lions didn’t run for many yards, but then they didn’t need to. They gained

57 yards on just 13 carries as a team. Semrad had a team high 29 yards. Dylan Reese added 15.

The Bulldogs managed just 89 rushing yards and 121 passing yards.

The Lions set or tied a nuber of team records.

Mitchell broke Owen Beason’s record for single-game receiving yards, and set a record for catches. Semrad set a new record for touchdown passes in a game. The Lions set a school record for passing yards, and for having four players com-

plete passes.

Through all of that, head coach Tommy Beason was impressed by the fans.

“It was a fun environment. We had a good crowd come down,” he said.

He also was pleased with the players.

“We’re sold out to being an air raid offense. The kids and coaches have bought it. It’s what fits our kids best,” he said. Beason said that’s also what the Bulldogs’ defense dictated. Ark City focused on stopping the run, in part

because Goddard ran all over the Bulldogs a season ago.

The Lions’ defense was harp, forcing three fumbles and in interception.

Friday’s win was Goddard’s first shutout since last year, when they also shut out the Bulldogs.

Arkansas City had a good looking drive to start the game, but the drive stalled and a field goal attempt missed. The Lions’ defense shut them down from there.

Goddard’s first drive ended on a failed fourth-

and-2 play that the Bulldogs stopped. The Lions scored on their next drive, which started near midfield after a sack forced a fumble and the Lions recovered. Goddard led 7-0 after the first quarter.

At halftime, the Lions were up 21-0, and they scored 21 points in the third quarter.

The Lions will be on the road again this Friday, visiting the Andover Central Jaguars. Like Goddard, Central is 2-0. The Jaguars’ defense has allowed just 7 points this season.

Eisenhower wins GHS-CHS soccer tournament

By Sam Jack

The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

The Eisenhower Tigers boys soccer team beat three opponents last week, pushing their season record to 4-0 and claiming the title in the Goddard-Campus tournament.

The Tigers’ championship run started Tuesday, Sept. 10, when they outscored Winfield 14-0 during the first half to activate the mercy rule and end the game early.

Carlos Fernandez was the leading scorer, with six

goals and three assists.

Ethan Doud, Hunter Salinas and Carlos Vidrio had two goals apiece, and Cory Gleason and Christian Raffinengo added one goal apiece.

The semifinal game versus Campus on Thursday, Sept. 12, was the toughest of the tournament, Tigers assistant coach Jerry Bozarth said. The Tigers came away with a 1-0 win.

Carlos Fernandez scored the winning goal during the second half, assisted by Cory Gleason.

Lions 1-2 in tourney

By Sam Jack

The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

Last week, the Goddard Lions boys soccer co-hosted its annual tournament with Campus High School.

Tournament action opened Tuesday, Sept. 10, when the Lions lost to Buhler 4-1. Thanks to the vagaries of scheduling, that was also the boys’ first game of the season, something that didn’t work in the team’s favor, according to head coach Josh Hansen.

“We were in the game for most of the game,” Hansen said. “The last couple of minutes, they snuck one in, and then the floodgates kind of opened and they got two more. That had to do with us being a younger team and with them having two games underneath their belt before they played us.”

Freshman Dominic Zuniga scored the Lions’ sole goal, halfway through the second half.

On Thursday, the Lions played Rose Hill. Knotted 3-3, Goddard and Rose Hill started exchanging penalty kicks, and Rose Hill came out on top. Goddard made some costly late mistakes, according to Hansen.

“I’ve never seen a team dominate another team so much and still lose the game,” Hansen said. “We were winning 3-1 until the last 10 minutes of the game. ... I think possession was 80/20 us. We should’ve scored at least 6 on this team, but we only got 3.”

Skyler Hernandez scored two goals versus Rose Hill, and Gabe Villegas scored one.

On Saturday, the Lions got a 10-0 win over El Dorado. Leading 5-0 at the half, the Lions scored another 5 in under 10 minutes to invoke the mercy rule and end the game.

Hernandez, Aidan Haislett, Cooper Rising, and Joseph Espinoza scored two goals each; Zuniga and Wyatt Carr each scored one.

“We have the talent,” Hansen said. “It’s a work in progress, and it’s getting that experience built into these younger players, and going forward with it.”

This Thursday, the Lions host Hutchinson. The following day, the team travels to Newton. Next Tuesday, the Lions are at Salina South. All games start at 6:30 p.m.

Owls muzzle Bulldogs

By Travis Mounts The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

The Garden Plain Owls took the bite out of the Douglass Bulldogs in a 5130 road victory last Friday.

The Owls improved their record to 2-0.

Quarterback Matt Pauly threw for a pair of first-quarter touchdown passes, and added to his big night with two more scoring passes and a touchdown run in the second quarter as Garden Plain built a 44-0 halftime lead.

Pauly opened the game with a 1-yard pass to Jordan Thomas, and then hooked up with Marek Rex for a 25-yard touchdown pass in the opening stanza.

Pauly and Trey Smith connected twice in the second, on touchdown passes of 59 yards and 8 yards. Between those scores, Pauly ran in for a 40-yard score.

Jeb Nowak padded the score with a 9-yard touchdown run, and Jack Haukap connected on a 19-yard field goal as the first half expired.

Douglas scored twice in the second half, cutting the Owls’ lead to 44-16.

With the junior varsity in, Garden Plain added yet another score, this

time with a fourth-quarter touchdown pass from Kade Rockers to Francis Stuhlsatz. That gave the Owls a 51-16 lead nearing the halfway point of the fourth quarter.

“We came out and executed well. Matt and Trey connected, and Matt threw touchdowns to three different guys,” said head coach Ken Dusenbury.

The Owls once again benefited from a quick start, although turnovers weren’t the driving force like they were in the win over Cheney. Each team had just one interception.

Garden Plain gained 410 total yards, outpacing the Bulldogs by 146 yards. The Owls ran for 242 yards and passed for 168.

Pauly went 5-for-10 on the night, passing for 104 yards with four touchdowns and one interception. Rockers’ only pass went for 64 yards and a score.

Pauly also led the team with 78 rushing yards.

Blake Long added 63 and Tranden Daerr had 59 yards, with both logging seven carries. Five other Owls ran for positive yards: Jeb Nowak, John Nowak, Rex, Kaden Pauly and Will Tice. Smith led the Owls in receiving yards, going for 67 yards

chances,” Bozarth said.

“We were able to capitalize on a good one that we had there.”

Late in the game, center defender Tyson Rey made a save on the goal line, deflecting a ball that would have equalized the score and revived the Colts’ hopes.

The Lions faced Buhler in the championship on Saturday, winning 5-0.

Fernandez had two goals and an assist; Ethan Doud had a goal and two assists; Kenny Lu had a goal and an assist; and Christian Raffinengo scored a goal.

Bozarth said that his team is feeling pretty good.

“They still have room to improve, and they know it. We’re not by any means peaking yet. We know we’ve got a lot of tough games left to go, and we’re continuing to work hard,” he said.

The Tigers hosted Hutchinson on Tuesday; look for the result in next week’s paper.

Eisenhower has a rematch at Campus this Thursday. Next Tuesday, the Tigers host Salina Central at 6:15 p.m.

Big plays power Cheney upset win

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

The Cheney Cardinals scored what has to be the biggest upset of the 2019 season by beating Conway Springs – the No. 3-ranked team in Class 2A – by a 49-19 score last Friday.

Big plays were the key to victory for Cheney, which ran for 362 yards and passed for another 160 for a total of 522 yards.

The biggest play came late in the first half, with Cheney holding onto a 14-7 lead.

Conway Springs had recovered a Cheney fumble and driven to the Cheney 10. One third down, Riley Petz caught a tipped Conway Springs pass at the 1-yard line, ran into the end zone as he turned around, and then raced down the right sideline for a touchdown with 6.6 seconds left in the half. Instead of Conway Springs potentially tying the game at 14, Cheney went into halftime with a 21-7 lead and all the momentum.

Cheney built on that momentum to start the third quarter, forcing Conway Springs into a three-and-out. Six plays later, Petz took a handoff from Harrison Voth and ran for a 49yard touchdown and a 28-7 lead.

It was a big night for Petz, who ran for three touchdowns and 120 yards, and caught two passes – both for touchdowns – for 63 yards. Petz’ pick-six was his second interception of the night. He picked off another pass earlier in the second quarter,

Volleyball From Page 2B Hesston, the No. 4-ranked team in Class 3A. The Cardinals won the first set by just 3 points, but the Swathers were dominant in the second set. Harrison led with six kills, and Anna Martin, Scheer, Alber and Pipkin had kills. Pipkin had a team-high six blocks.

this one in the end zone to thwart another Conway Springs drive that also could have tied the game at 14.

“Riley made some really outstanding plays,” said Cheney head coach Shelby Wehrman. Petz’ interception return for a touchdown was the biggest. “I thought that was huge.”

Voth and Zac Block both took snaps at quarterback, although Voth took more this game. He was Cheney’s top rusher with 163 yards and a touchdown. Block was 3-for-3 passing and threw both of Cheney’s touchdown passes.

“The offense did well.

The line did a good job of blocking, and we found some gaps,” Wehrman said.

Cheney did two fumbles in the second quarter.

Conway Springs threatened to score off of both fumbles, but both of those drives ended in Petz’ interceptions.

Cheney started the game’s scoring on a 26yard run by Voth. Conway Springs drove 74 yards on

the following drive to tie the game at 7.

Cheney came right back.

Block through a 58-yard pass that hit Logan Bartlett in stride on the drive’s second play, and two plays later Petz ran 9 yards for a touchdown and a 14-7 lead in the first quarter.

After Cheney took a 28-7 lead in the third quarter, the team executed a successful onside kick, with Bartlett recovering the ball at the Conway Springs 49. Cheney went up 35-7 when Block threw the first of his two touchdown passes to Petz, this one for 31 yards.

Conway Springs scored on the next drive to pull to within 22 points, 35-13.

Cheney responded with two lightning-fast scoring drives.

A Conway Springs kickoff that rolled backward gave Cheney the ball at the Conway Springs 34-yard line. Three plays later, Petz scored from a yard out.

Conway Springs then drove to the Cheney 1-yard line but was stopped on fourth-and-1

by Cheney’s defense,

turning the ball over at the 5-yard line. Voth ran the next play 53 yards, followed by a 32-yard scoring run from Petz that put Cheney ahead 49-13 early in the fourth quarter.

Wehrman said Cheney’s defense took a “bend-butdon’t-break” mentality against Conway Springs, and that showed in a couple of ways. Conway Springs had 431 yards of total offense, including 240 passing yards. It was a rare night for Conway Springs with more passing yards than rushing yards (191).

Upsetting a highly-ranked rival a week after a 16-point loss is big news, but the bigger surprise was that Conway Springs had not lost a regular-season game since Oct. 7, 2016. Conway Springs was perfect in the regular season the past two years, only losing in the playoffs each season.

Cheney plays at Chaparral (1-1) on Friday.

“We’re still figuring out who we are,” Wehrman said. “(The win) gives the kids a lot of confidence.”

disappointed in the team effort.

“We seemed to come out sluggish and without focus. Many areas of our game were at all time lows.

We just couldn’t ever get a whole game together,” she said.

Nicole Robinson moved to nearly 40 assists on the season. Carlee Lill and Ivy Berline led the offensive attack with eight and six kills, respectively. Taylor Klausmeyer provided a spark with a perfect serving night, going 12-for-12.

May said the Indians have been focusing on fundamentals and “remembering our love for the game,” she said, noting the Indians are simplifying their rotation.

That seemed to provide some spark at Saturday’s tournament in Arkansas City. Clearwater went 2-3,

and a pair of their losses were three-set defeats.

The Indians picked up a close two-set win over Mulvane, and took care of business against Andover Central. Clearwater won the middle set in matches against Winfield and host Ark City. Wichita Northwest downed the Indians in two sets.

over the rival Eisenhower Tigers, who went 0-2 last week on Tuesday.

The Lions also beat the Valley Center Hornets, earning a 2-point first-set win before stomping the Hornets in the second set.

It was a rougher day for the Tigers, who won their first set against Valley Center but ended up falling in three sets.

The Goddard Lions and Eisenhower Tigers girls tennis teams were both in action at Maize South on Monday. Eisenhower took third behind Wichita Collegiate and the host team, while Goddard finished in sixth.

For the Tigers, the top finish went to the No. 2 doubles team of Sara Howard and Cadence Pfaff. The duo lost only one game through the first two

rounds of pool play, but fell 8-1 to Collegiate in the championship match.

For the Lions, top honors went to the No. 1 doubles team of Kiersten Kreuzburg and Gabby Dextradeur. They won two matches in pool play to finish fourth.

EHS also competed at the Valley Center Invitational last week, finishing third. Carli Cordoba and McKenna Jilka took second in the No. 2 doubles bracket.

Eisenhower runners win Wellington titles

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

The Eisenhower boys and girls cross country teams won titles at Saturday’s cross country meets in Wellington, and the Tigers also had the top individual runners in the boys and girls races.

Goddard and Clearwater also had runners at this meet, although only the Goddard boys had enough entries to be considered a a full team.

Austin Fullerton and Jadyn Pavlik won gold medals for Eisenhower. Fullerton won the boys 5-kilometer race in 17:27.9, finishing more than 18 seconds ahead of the rest of the field.

That helped the Tigers to victory in the seven-team field, with 21 points. Valley Center was next with 76 points. Jacob Fawson, Dawson Williams and Preston Hawkins were third, fourth and fifth, and Logan Libel took eighth, to give the Tigers six spots in the top 10. Kael Pavlik missed 10th by just one second.

Pavlik’s time of 21:23.6 was more than 37 seconds faster than the next runner, who happened to be teammate Kennedy Nicholson. Lainie Burkhart, Kiara Pavlik, Brooklyn Freund and Jorah Reynolds all were in the top 10.

The Tigers beat Remington, the only other full girls team. This was one of the smaller meets on the schedule for all three local schools participating.

The Goddard boys placed fifth as a team. Mason Lubbers and Landon Lickly had top-15 finishes.

The Lions’ Leah Martyn was the top girl, coming in 17th.

Clearwater had a split squad on Saturday, with its

top seven boys based on last week’s practices heading to Wamego. However, a transportation issue en route to that meet caused those runners to miss it.

Hayley Trotter turned in a nice performance in the girls varsity race at Wellington, placing third.

The Eisenhower Tigers hit a stumbling block on Friday, losing 33-2 at Andover Central.

The Tigers offense was shut out during the game. Eisenhower took an early 2-0 lead courtesy of a bad Andover Central snap for a safety, but after that the game belonged to the Jaguars.

Despite the tough loss to a good team, head coach Darrin Fisher saw good things in his Tigers.

“The boys played hard,” he said. “It was more a matter of execution. We didn’t feel like we were far from being where we wanted to be.”

Fisher pointed to the team’s rushing defense.

Andover was the runaway winner with a score of 261, while Andale-Garden Plain finished 50 strokes back. Goddard shot 347, just a stroke behind Augusta, and Eisenhower shot 353.

“That’s pretty outstanding,” he said.

“Defensively, we played pretty well.”

Dominic L’Castro, an Eisenhower senior and third down specialist for the Tigers, recorded four sacks.

“That’s pretty impressive. He had a pretty good night,” Fisher said.

Cody Hawks had a strong night, too, leading Ike with 11 tackles.

The Tigers made some errors that helped out the Jaguars. A bad snap deep in Eisenhower territory led to one Andover Central touchdown, and a fumble led to another score. The Tigers were sacked once in the end zone for a safety, too.

“There are some things offensively we need to get going,” Fisher said, noting that

Eisenhower struggled to gain first downs. Missed blocks and wrong assignments were at fault.

“We’re still learning new schemes. You’re going to have some ups and downs,” Fisher said.

“We just need to be more consistent.

Brownies prove spices not ‘cinnamon’ous with fall

Spice Up Your Life

Lindsey Young

“It smells like fall in here,” Joey announced this weekend when he came home to the scent of fresh cinnamon brownies in our kitchen.

I forget that cinnamon normally evokes a cold weather feeling from people. I’ll eat it any time of year. Find me some cinnamon ice cream, and I’d be all in.

But I suppose the wan-

ing days of summer put me in the mindset to grab my big shaker of cinnamon out of the pantry to try a new recipe.

I wasn’t initially certain what made these Mexican cinnamon brownies rather than just cinnamon brownies, but the recipe’s author explains in his post that cinnamon is widely used in Mexican cooking and these brownies would be a good dessert to show up at a Cinco de Mayo party, and that explanation was good enough for me.

I found this recipe on the website “One How To.” The recipe is by Max D. Gray. You can find the original at https:// food.onehowto.com/ recipe/how-to-make-mexican-cinnamon-brownies-10574.html. I fixed up some of the directions to make them more clear and added extra cinnamon.

Mexican Cinnamon Brownies Ingredients 2 cups packed brown sugar 1 cup butter, softened 2 eggs 1 tablespoon vanilla 2-2/3 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Directions Preheat the oven to 340 degrees.

Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside (an easy trick is to use the empty butter wrappers from the recipe to grease it).

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the brown sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla.

Beat in the flour, baking powder and salt until the mixture is smooth and everything is completely incorporated.

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and then evenly sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the top (in full disclosure, I just used a

spoon and sprinkled both until I felt satisfied I had good coverage, so I likely used a bit more cinnamon than is listed in the ingredients list).

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the brownies cool for about 20 minutes and then slice into bars and store in an airtight container.

As Joey pointed out, these made the whole house smell amazing, so if you’re having an open house and want to use the trick where you bake something right before people come over, tuck this recipe away.

They were great warm, but right out of the oven, I thought the cinnamon didn’t come through as much as I would have liked. I was vindicated the next morning, after they sat in their airtight container over night. The cinnamon flavor popped in each bite.

Sorry, I can’t help – I’m at bluegrass Yes, it’s finally that time of year. By the time this paper reaches homes this week, I’ll have a new temporary Zip Code.

And sorry, no…I’m not available the rest of this week.

The annual Walnut Festival is in full swing, and I’ve already been spending time there with friends from all across the area. In just one evening Saturday, we were able to hang out with friends and musicians from Cheney, Clearwater, Conway Springs and Wichita.

The weekend was pretty relaxing after having claimed our campsite, and for the record, yes…we got just the campsite we had our sights set on as we completed Land Rush last week. First we got our small popup camper set up, and then over the weekend we hauled down our second camper that the kids and grandkids will use this week.

On Wednesday, Kim’s sister Karen will bring her camper down, and our little circle of festival fans will be complete.

And by Thursday, we’ll be ready to start four days of music and fun.

Over the weekend, our warm-up for this year’s festival couldn’t have been any better. We made a couple of visits to the campsite occupied by members of local bluegrass band Dear Friends, as well as the band Driven that has performed at the Walnut Valley Festival over the years.

When we first wandered into their camp Saturday evening (it was early, around 10 p.m.) we were totally impressed with a woman who was singing and playing with the ad hoc camp band that night. She was sitting with her back to me, and all I could tell was that she had the voice of an angel and was playing her own songs as well as other classic bluegrass tunes.

Before she left camp, I realized that we had been listening to Robin Macy, who owns and operates Bartlett Arboretum in

Belle Plaine and was one of the founding members of the Dixie Chicks. We had a chance to thank her for the musical treat, and she just replied, “It was a treat to sing and play for you.”

From there, Kim and I rode our bikes around the festival grounds and took in the last performance of the night at Stage 11, one of several unofficial stages this week.

A little later in the evening, a bit after midnight, we wandered back into the Dear Friends camp.

Soon after our arrival, three new musicians joined the group, and pulled out their instruments.

For the next half hour, the air was filled with some of the best country swing harmony I had heard in years. When Blake McLemore of Dear Friends and Driven came over to visit with Kim and I, he explained that two of the three harmony makers were the original founders of Spontaneous Combustion, a band that took the Walnut Valley Festival – and the nation – by storm a few years back.

Wow! Over just a few hours on just one evening leading up to the festival, Kim and I had been blessed with a spectacular and unassuming warm-up to the music we had come to Winfield to savor again this year. It just hammered home why this festival has meant so much to me over the last four decades, and why I will always be there as long as I’m physically capable.

It’s like coming home, and here’s hoping I’ll make it back for another decade or two.

Despite all the pumpkin spice and Halloween posts that have been popping up on Facebook lately, it is still officially summer for at least a few more days. The weather lately has remained summer-like, especially over the past couple of weekends.

However, fall festival season has arrived, and that’s a sure sign of autumn. It’s one of my favorite times of year. And forecasts early this week indicate we may get some fall weather to go with those festivals.

We have four large fall festivals in our area over the next month, and there are great things about all of them. There are similarities, too, including with the parades.

What’s a festival (or a fair, for that matter) without a parade? It’s the same thing with carnival rides, except spinning quickly in

small circles makes me lose my funnel cake, so the rides aren’t as high up on my to-do list.

This weekend is the Clearwater Fall Festival, with events Thursday through Saturday. Like most of our festivals, Saturday is the big day, but there is plenty to do over the four days.

The ducky dash is always a fun thing to see in Clearwater. See all those little yellow creatures floating through the park gives me a chuckle. But I always find ducks funny, anyway.

The following weekend is Conway Springs Fall Fest. Central Park has a wonderful canopy of trees

so that even if it is warm – as it often is in Kansas in September – the scores of people taking part in the festival below are sheltered. The live performances in the band shell are a favorite of mine.

The first weekend of October brings Goddard’s Fall Festival. This one has many memories for me, including making and selling dutch oven desserts when I was a member of Boy Scout Troop 776 many years ago. With the creation of Linear Park where the railroad used to run, the party has had room to grow and expand from the tight confines of Main Street, where many of the activities still take place.

Haysville Fall Festival will come in mid-October. It’s the largest of the fall fests for our newspaper group. The trees and pond at Riggs Park provide another idyllic setting. The parade is always worth seeing, and the musical entertainment is hard to beat.

My recommendation is to go to all of them. There are many common threads through these festivals, but also plenty of unique events and local charm.

The festivals provide a chance for our communities to show themselves at their very best.

It’s also good to get out of your own community and to see another.

It builds our common bonds, and seeing what’s good in another town can help us dream bigger for our own town.

Of course, at our community newspaper group, we feel that we are a part of all the towns that we cover. It’s like when it comes to your kids – you love them all equally.

Over the next month, I’m looking forward to seeing all of our communities shine in their own right. And maybe by the time we reach the last of these festivals, we’ll be ready to put on hoodies and order some hot chocolate – another sure sign that autumn is here.

We’re ready to start the fall harvest season

The other day Facebook reminded me that a year ago we kicked off our fall harvest season.

I had posted a picture of the kids climbing into the combine with my husband, and then a picture of the four of us piled in the combine with smiles on our faces. It’s always an exciting day when we fire up the combines and move into the fields.

It means we have a crop to harvest. It also means adding many extra miles on my vehicle.

My mother-in-law and I will begin taking evening meals out to the field. I’ll begin reading books to my kids in the car while waiting for a combine to make its return to our side of the field. You might catch us some evenings driving slowly down a dirt road with our windows down blowing goodnight kisses to my husband because the kids won’t see him again until breakfast.

It means driving out to a field and excitedly showing everyone when someone has lost a tooth, or celebrating being selected as the Star of the Day at school, or showing off the newest piece of art that was completed in class, or displaying a birthday card that arrived in the mail.

Yes, we spend a lot of time in the car this time of year. I’m always impressed the kids handle it so well.

For them, it’s just a normal part of being a farm kid in the fall. After all, it is how they’ve spent every harvest since before they were even born.

Some days we’ll run home after school and change our clothes before heading out to the field, but more days than not, we go straight to where the crew is. It gives the kids extra time to ride alongside their dad or grandpa, to honk the combine’s horn, to “help”

unload the grain by pushing buttons and pulling levers, or to just supervise the entire operation.

We try to keep a routine during harvest for the kids. Many evenings I’ll try to get them in the car and headed home before it’s dark. We’ll still have homework, bath time and stories before I put them to bed. But sometimes exceptions have to be made.

There are some evenings when the kids need extra daddy time, so I’ll ignore the setting sun or the time on the clock. Some days we’ll have to make a trip back out to a field after dark in our jammies because a little one needs to see their daddy one more time before bed and Facetime just isn’t cutting it.

Fall harvest will lead into wheat sowing followed by more fall harvest.

The goal is to be completely done by Thanksgiving.

Last year we went a few days past that.

Regardless of when the harvest is completed this year, you can bet my kiddos and I will have some quality time driving to and from fields this fall. We will be completing reading assignments while waiting for the crew to come to the edge of the field for a meal, enjoying the cool and crisp weather that will soon be here, and I’ll be snapping a picture every once in a while to document our trips out to the fields.

Yes, it’s the eve of fall harvest and we’re ready to begin this season.

Add a pop of color to your garden this winter

Winter weather comes on the heels of a vibrant, colorful autumn season. Shortly after fall foliage falls to the ground, nature tends to greet us with a considerably less colorful palette. What’s more, much of the wildlife and plants that make spring, summer and fall so awe-inspiring tend to hibernate in winter, making it more difficult to find bright spots on drab days.

If you think that winter means the end of beautiful garden colors, think again. There are plenty of cool-season flowers and other plants that can add a pop of color to brighten your day. These flowers provide color right when most people need it most.

In areas where winter is not marked by a deep freeze, homeowners can plant pansies, snapdragons, English daisies, calendula, and other blooms from early fall through late winter. These plants will survive the cold, keeping containers, borders and gardens full of color.

Camellias are a type of flower that bloom in fall and winter in hues of red, pink, coral, white, and more. The plants are evergreen and will grow from shrubs or small trees when fully established.

Homeowners who live in climates marked by cold winters can opt for plants that offer color but without flowers. According to HGTV, these include cabbages and kales, which can survive most cold winters and lend an interesting texture to a winter landscape bed.

Of course, no list of winter’s colorful plants would be complete without holly, which offers an eye-catching display of evergreen leaves and bright red berries, though sometimes the berries are golden. Either way, they can be a sight for sore eyes on gray winter days.

For more ideas, visit a local garden center to learn about plants that can add vibrant color to a landscape, even as autumn transitions to winter.

Think wood paneling is dated?

Think again

Design trends come and go, but some have a funny way of resurfacing years after they first became popular. Homeowners who may have been considering renovating their home to remove a design element they believe to be passé might want to see if that feature has experienced a resurgence in popularity. In fact, one of the more derided home decor trends of yesteryear has slowly crept back into style, albeit in moderation.

Wood paneling is back and better than ever, advise many design professionals.

It’s the formerly ugly duckling that filled homes starting in the 1950s, creating drab dens and faux-wood family rooms.

Paneling had long been an element of choice because it is relatively easy to install and can camouflage problem walls in a home, like those covered in boisterous wallpaper prints.

Wood paneling reach the peak of its popularity in the 1970s, and since then homeowners have been tearing down these faux offenders for years or masking them in paint to brighten up spaces.

However, the experts at Apartment Therapy report that wood paneling in shades of brown are making a comeback in cozy spots such as dens or studies. The warm tones of wood paneling elicit a retro vibe. But unlike their fake predecessors, today’s paneled walls are being outfitted in real wood, making them more eco-friendly and stylish than ever before.

Designers have flocked

to reclaimed wood and veneer panelings to incorporate them into design elements. And while wood paneling used to be hung vertically, designers now experiment with hanging paneling.

Many people no longer use paneling to cover an entire space. Paneling is used sparingly as an accent wall or another feature for character.

Wood walls can be stained in a rich mahogany to look upscale or be weathered and rustic.

Homeowners ready to re-embrace wood paneling can choose to enhance one wall in a room.

Think about the space above a fireplace or a strip of wall behind a sitting chair and side table.

Paneling also can serve as a headboard behind a bed in a master suite.

Painted horizonally, paneling can add dimension and texture to walls, even in a bathroom.

Wood paneling is slowly making a comeback, proving that no design trend every truly goes away.

If you think that winter means the end of beautiful garden colors, think again.

What causes roof shingles to curl?

No homeowner wants to look at their exterior and see roof damage.

Such damage may lead homeowners to think they need a new roof, a an expense that can quickly throw household budgets into disarray.

According to the HomeAdvisor, the average homeowner spends a little more than $7,600 installing a new roof.

Various factors, including the size of a home and the type of roof homeowners prefer, will affect the cost of a roof replacement. In addition, homeowners who see roof damage can rest assured that not all roof problems will necessarily require a replacement roof to be installed.

Curled shingles are a problem many homeowners have encountered. This particular problem is not always indicative that a roof is on its way out. In fact, the home improvement resource This Old House notes that, as asphalt shingles age, their corners often begin to curl downward or upward.

Homeowners who notice this early enough can glue down the curled section of each shingle

that’s beginning to curl.

Some shingles may be curling because they’re defective. Fortified Roofing, a New Jersey-based roofing company that specializes in the repairing and replacing of various roofing configurations, advises homeowners to contact a local roofing professional to diagnose the cause of the curling. Doing so quickly can prevent curled shingles from contributing to more widespread damage.

Moisture and poor ventilation may be contributing to curled shingles as well.

Homeowners with attics in their home may see curled shingles on their roofs because moisture is building up in their poorly ventilated attics. In addition to causing damage such as curled shingles, a poorly ventilated attic allows moisture to build up, potentially contributing to mold growth. Mold presents a host of additional problems, including some that can adversely affect the health of a home’s inhabitants.

Improper roof installation also may be the culprit

behind curled shingles.

When a roof is not installed correctly, shingles may not be aligned or nailed down in the right way. This might be what’s causing curling on recently installed roofs.

Curled shingles are unsightly and can pose a sig-

nificant threat to a home if not addressed promptly.

Homeowners can protect themselves and their roofs by working with skilled roofing professionals, who can diagnose issues like curled shingles and offer the right solutions.
