CLEARWATER – Marlene Parret, a longtime local volunteer, has been named the Clearwater Fall Festival’s parade marshal for 2018.

She will lead the annual parade through Clearwater, which starts at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29.

Parret said she was “flabbergasted, just flabbergasted” to receive the honor. “Lonnie Stieben called me and told me what was going on. He kept saying ‘Yes,’ and I kept saying, ‘No.’ I just did not believe it, and it took some talking before I did,” she said.

Parret has lived in Clearwater since 1964, when she moved here so that her late husband, Bill, could take a job as chief of police.

“It’s a small town, and everybody knows everybody,” she said. “I like the camaraderie of trying to help each other out and be the best person you can possibly be. I feel like this is the place I’m supposed to be in my life, and I’m thankful to God that he has given me what I have.”

When Bill Parret started his work as police chief, he was the only officer for Clearwater. Marlene help with radio and dispatching. Later, she trained as a medical assistant and worked in nursing homes in

both Haysville and Clearwater. For the last seven years of her career, she worked as a custodian in Clearwater’s public schools.

Volunteering has always been a huge part of her life. She was president of the Ernest Gordon American Legion Auxiliary for 23 years, and also served in positions at the district level.

For the last eight years, she has been extremely active at the Clearwater Senior and Community Center, and for the last year, she has served as assistant director. She also

helps with lunches in the community, helping to cook and deliver meals to the homebound.

She drives those who are unable to doctor’s appointments and other errands, using her own car and gas.

Twice a week, she leads a senior aerobics class at the community center. She is nearly 80 years old.

“What you don’t use, you lose, so I’m trying to use mine,” she said.

Parret plans to ride in the bed of a pickup truck during the parade so that all four of her grandchildren can ride with her.

Obituaries Wynona Bartow

Friendship meals

Wynona Bartow, 90-year-old former Woodward resident, died Sunday, Sept. 2, 2018, in Goddard. Funeral Services were held at 2:00 p.m.

Sunday, Sept. 9, 2018 at the First Assembly of God Church in Mooreland with the Rev. Phillip Ludwyck officiating. Burial followed in the Mooreland Cemetery. Arrangements were under the direction of Billings Funeral Home.

Wynona Maxine Bartow was born on Aug. 17, 1928, near Mooreland, Okla. to Jay Murray and Fern Whitcomb Murray on a farm about 18 miles north of Mooreland. After starting her education at Hawkeye school north of Mooreland, she attended schools in Mooreland and Woodward until she moved to Wichita, when her mother married John Jacobs. She finished school in Wichita and worked in a TG&Y store in Wichita for a few years. She married John Arnold Bartow on March 24,1947, at the Presbyterian Church in Dodge City.

Wynona and Arnold made their home on their farm northeast of Mooreland. She was Arnold’s helpmate on the farm and loved working with their cattle. In 1973, they built a new home southwest of Mooreland where they lived and continued to farm and raise cattle until Arnold suffered a severe stroke in 1999.

She enjoyed traveling and loved animals, especially dogs. Best of all, she loved poodles, and nearly always had one with her, even when she and Arnold traveled, as they did many times in a motor home, once making the drive all the way from Mooreland to Alaska and back.

After Arnold had partially recovered from his stroke, they moved to Woodward, where Wynona faithfully provided all of Arnold’s day-to-day care until they moved to the Wichita area in 2013 to be closer to their daughter and grandchildren. They spent their last few years together at Dove Estates Senior Living in Goddard.

Wynona enjoyed church activities and was actively involved for many years in the Mooreland Assembly of God Church, where she led congregational singing. She loved to sing praises to the Lord and would often sing solos. In her younger years, she worked with the church youth group and helped with Bible School. In later years, she attended the Woodward Assembly of God Church.

She also sang and led singing at the Woodward Senior Citizens Center and various singings in the area.

She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.

Her husband, Arnold, was confined to a wheel chair for the last 18 years of his life, and Wynona served as his daily caretaker for nearly all of that time.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Jay Murray and Fern Jacobs; her husband, John Arnold Bartow; and a brother, Robert Murray.

She is survived by two brothers, Barney Murray and wife Peggy of Enid, Oklahoma and Forest Murray and wife Dee of Surprise, Arizona; two sisters, Shirley Bartel and husband Gerald of Quanah, Texas and Beverly Ludwyck and husband Phillip of Mooreland, Okla.; her daughter, Treisa Bartow Reese and her husband Monte; her grandson, Bartow (Bart) Allan Reese and his wife Claudia; her granddaughter, Monica Lynelle (Reese) Cromwell and her husband Stephen; and her great-grandson, Dylan Ryan Reese, all of Goddard; as well as other relatives and friends.

Developer: Old Chicago restaurant construction will start in early 2019

By Sam Jack

The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

GODDARD – A month after the Goddard City Council approved $4 million in industrial revenue bonds, Garden City-based developer Amro Samy strongly indicated that he intends to follow through and build an Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom restaurant near Goddard’s Walmart.

Samy’s spokesperson, Molly Basham, said he plans to close on the land for the restaurant in January 2019 and start construction shortly thereafter.

“It’s for sure, 100 percent, done deal: Old Chicago will be coming to Goddard for sure,” Basham said.

Samy partnered with oil and gas tycoon Cecil O’Brate in an attempt to develop the Goddard STAR bond district. Their plans included an Old Chicago – as well as a water park, hotel and athletic fields – but they couldn’t come to terms with the city and Goddard Destination Development, and had to withdraw from the project. Rodney Steven later stepped in with plans to build a Genesis Health Club, indoor Olympic-sized swimming pool and out-

door sports facilities.

After the STAR bond deal fell apart, it took Samy several months to regroup.

But he never wavered in his desire to put an Old Chicago in Goddard, according to Basham. Basham said market research indicates that the restaurant will be profitable, despite competition from other Old Chicago locations in Wichita.

“We like the Goddard community,” Basham said.

“It’s growing, it’s a good place to be. For sure, we wanted to have a presence in Goddard.”

Goddard currently has two sit-down restaurants,

Pizza Hut and Ginger Asian Cuisine. With a vast beer selection and deep dish pizza, plus other entrees, the Old Chicago franchise targets a different market segment.

The Goddard Old Chicago’s layout will differ from those of Wichita’s existing franchise locations.

“They have a new footprint that we’ve been working with; we just opened one in Lawrence,” Basham said. “Next we’re doing a historic remodel in Salina, and then we move on to the Goddard project. The building will be a little different, and the colors inside will be a little lighter.”

The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

CLEARWATER – The Clearwater Chamber of Commerce held its monthly coffee social last week.

New lake sign unveiled at Cheney Chamber meeting

By Paul Rhodes

The Times-Sentinel prhodes@tsnews.com

CHENEY – A new sign highlighting what’s available in Cheney and planned for a spot near 21st Street and Lake Road was unveiled at last week’s Cheney Chamber of Commerce meeting.

The new sign will replace a weathered and damaged sign at that location. The condition of the sign was brought to the chamber’s attention earlier this year by representatives from Citizens State Bank.

At the meeting last week, bank representative Ryan Runnells presented a preliminary design for the new sign, and received positive reactions from other chamber members. The sign notes the direction and distance to Cheney, and important services that are available in the community.

Runnells noted that the

estimate for the sign was $2,200, which includes two sides and installation on the current billboard.

The proposal is to split the cost of the sign four ways: the bank, the city, the school district and the chamber of commerce.

“We are hoping we can get everything taken care of and have it up for next season,” said Runnells.

In other business at their meeting last week, chamber members: • Introduced a guest to the community, Pastor Rob Schmutz, who was in town leading a revival at Cheney United Methodist Church.

• Heard several school updates, including band and FFA activities at the Kansas State Fair; new independent programs at the high school, giving students more diversity and opportunities for additional college credits; recognition of Harold Bohm, who has been a sports announcer for 45

Goddard Chamber of Commerce seeks full-time director

By Sam Jack The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com GODDARD – The Goddard Chamber of Commerce is seeking a new executive director, board members announced at a general membership meeting held at Pizza Hut last week.

The director job was left vacant when Sarah Gooding resigned to pursue graduate studies at Wichita State University. Gooding’s position was part-time, but the Chamber is now looking for someone to take on a full-time role.

“We made that decision this month,” Pam Chambers said. “We really do feel like Goddard is on the brink of some great things, and there’s really a lot of strength and goodness that

can come from us being strong as a Chamber.”

The Chamber is looking for somebody with marketing, sales and event planning experience. A job listing has been posted on the Goddard Chamber of Commerce Facebook page.

In other business, Erinn Bock told Chamber members that the affiliated Young Professionals of Goddard group finalized its new mission statement and is forming a new committee structure. The group plans on hosting Neighbors United again in the spring.

The Chamber will not host dodgeball or a beer garden at the Goddard Fall Festival next month, due to a lack of manpower.

The group will continue to sponsor the bounce houses for children.

‘Voice’ contestant to perform in Goddard

Clark From Page 1 previous job as Garden Plain High School principal. “She is just such a go-to person for the entire school. She really does what’s best for the kids all the time, and that’s why I nominated her.”

Clark said she was surprised and honored both to represent the district and to make the top three.

“I don’t think I’m here in my room doing anything different than the other teachers are doing. I’m surrounded by good people, and that makes it easy to do a really good job, from the top to the bottom.”

Clark has been the Owls’ volleyball coach for the past 11 years, leading the team to State titles in 2008 and 2015, as well as third- and second-place finishes in 2010 and 2012, respectively.

She leads Garden Plain High School’s senior internship program and teaches career exploration classes.

“I guess my favorite part of it is just the realness of it,” she said of her work as careers teacher. “I see my students go out into the workforce, shadow, and come back with great stories about the things they’ve learned, and just the excitement about what careers they’re considering.”

GPHS principal Kody Kasselman said Clark has a great work ethic.

“There’s nobody that’s going to outwork her. She’s always honing her craft and trying to make it the best it can be. She never settles, and she’s had lots of success in the classroom and on the court.”

Kunze From Page 1 handgun, handcuffed the suspect and began administering first aid to Deputy Kunze. Shortly after, a citizen with EMT training arrived on the scene and began helping administer first aid.

Once EMS arrived, Kunze was transported to Via Christi Hospital St. Francis, and was declared dead at 2:55 p.m.

The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Robert C. Greeson, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Cheney police were involved in Sunday’s response. Officers went to the scene of the shooting, and later were involved with the recovery of a silver Dodge that has been since been tied to the suspect.

The vehicle was reported to the Sheriff ’s Department, and they asked Cheney Police to respond. They found the vehicle some time after 5:30 p.m. Sunday.

“We got on scene and something didn’t look right,” Cheney Police Chief Ken Winter said Monday.

It was not immediately clear that the Dodge was connected to Greeson but, “We started tying some things together,” Winter said.

A day of thefts, a history of trouble Sheriff Easter said Greeson is suspected in three other crimes committed on Sunday.

At 12:55 a.m., Wichita Police responded to a report of a stolen silver Dodge vehicle that was possibly taken during an

Charlie Wilks is Saturday’s opening act Staff report

The Times-Sentinel

GODDARD – “The Voice” contestant Kaleigh Glanton is the headliner for Saturday’s “Goddard Gathering: Food Truck Edition,” in Linear Park.

The city recently added another act to the lineup when it announced that Charlie Wilks, a Wichita singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who has been blind since age 5, will be the opening act.

Wilks takes the stage at 6 p.m., and Glanton will appear from 7 to 9 p.m.

“We’re really excited about this,” said Craig Crossette, assistant to the city administrator for Goddard. “We’re wanting to do food truck rallies quarterly, and this will kick things off with a bang.”

Glanton began singing for friends at a church conference during the summer before she turned 16, with no intention of making music into anything other than a pastime.

But once her father, Howard Glanton, heard her sing, he encouraged her to

do more with her talent.

Howard helped find Glanton a manager to get her some exposure locally. Her manager compiled a CD of her music and sent it to NBC’s The Voice, unbeknownst to Glanton. The next thing she knew, she had the surprise of a lifetime: an audition spot on the TV show.

When Glanton auditioned, all four of the music competition show’s judges – Shakira, Adam Levine, Usher and Blake Shelton – turned their chairs around, hoping to have her on their team for the season’s competition. Glanton chose to get coaching from country star Blake Shelton.

The day after Glanton’s network TV debut, her song reached No. 15 on iTunes’ rock chart.

“Before I got the audition, I decided I didn’t want music to be a career; it was just for fun,” Glanton said. “But after the audition, I realized I had a passion for it and I needed to work towards it as a career because it’s my strongest talent.”

In the four years since her star turn on The Voice, Glanton has grown as both a performer and a songwriter.

“I describe my music as an indie folk sound, but honestly, I feel so free

aggravated robbery.

At 9:22 a.m., Deputy Kunze responded to a possible larceny case in the 3000 block of West MacArthur where a 40-caliber handgun was stolen from a vehicle.

The gun is similar to the one found at the scene of Sunday’s shooting. It has not yet been confirmed that the gun found at the shooting is the stolen gun.

Later Sunday, it was discovered that a black Chevy had been stolen from the 3800 block of West MacArthur, not far from where the gun was stolen. The owners of the Chevy were not immediately aware the vehicle had been stolen.

“Currently, we’re operating on the theory that all these are tied in to the same suspect,” Easter said.

Records show Greeson had a history of legal trouble.

In 2009, Greeson was arrested and later convicted in Ellis County for distributing hallucinogenic drugs. In 2010, he was arrested in Ellis County for aggravated battery and was sentenced for that crime in January 2011.

In 2012, Greeson was arrested for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

While on probation in 2013, Greeson absconded and violated his probation, which resulted in him going back to prison. In 2016, he absconded again but that

December, he went back to jail on counts of assault, interfering with a law enforcement officer and a drug charge.

His record includes a probation violation in 2017 and a DUI conviction in Kingman County in 2017. He was last released from prison in November 2017.

Sending condolences, making donations

Donations may be made to the family through The Honore Adversis Foundation. Be sure to indicate your donation is for the Kunze family.

A community grieves Sheriff Easter spoke about Deputy Kunze on Sunday night.

“On a personal note, we’ll always remember him for his smile, his contagious laugh and his ability to engage anyone and everyone in a conversation. Deputy Kunze will be absolutely missed, and we ask for you to please pray for him and his family. Sedgwick County Sheriff ’s Office has suffered a great loss today and a life-altering tragedy for Deputy Kunze’s family,” he said.

Kunze leaves behind a wife and a daughter.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt offered his condolences on Kunze’s death.

“The tragic line-of-duty death today of Deputy Robert Kunze reminds all Kansans once again of the dangerous but indispensable public service given by law enforcement officers each and every day.

Our prayers go out for Deputy Kunze’s family and for all the men and women

to explore different variations of that,” she said. “I know I’m going to continue to grow as a person, and so will my art. I’m kind of afraid of this business of music, but I’m determined to make it as an artist, and I have been putting together a great team to help me.”

Wilks is a K-State graduate with a degree in music performance. He recently traveled to Memphis, Tenn., to study finger-style guitar with Tommy Emmanuel, a legendary exponent of that style.

He got interested in music at a young age.

“The appeal of the aural arts – music, poetry, all of that stuff – going blind probably made me come towards that,” Wilks said. “I think I would have tended toward music and art no matter what my situation was, but I think going blind was a huge part of why I became so enamored with (music).”

Before and during the free concert in Goddard’s Linear Park, four food trucks will be serving up their specialties in the park. The evening of food trucks will include Noble House Hawaiian, Smokin’ Diner, Flying Stove, and Homegirl’z Kitchen, a local food truck based out of Goddard.

“We’ve heard from a lot of people who are planning to come,” said Crossette. “It’s going to be a great evening.”

Sunday’s shooting brought out a heavy law enforcement presence. Roads were closed a mile in each direction from the shooting, and remained closed Sunday night. They reopened on Monday.

Law enforcement officers from Cheney, Goddard, Mount Hope, Maize, Wichita and the Kansas Highway Patrol were on the scene at various times. The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is assisting in the investigation, Easter said. He thanks all the police and emergency agencies that helped on Sunday.

“We’re very grateful that they all came to our assistence. That’s pretty normal in our community,” Easter said.

Many other law enforcement agencies and government officials offered their condolences. Social media was filled with well-wishes and memories from regular folks across the county and the state.

Remembering Deputy Robert Kunze III A public vigil was held Tuesday evening at the Sedgwick County Law Enforcement Memorial, which is located on the southwest corner of Central and Main in downtown Wichita, by Wichita City Hall.

Kunze’s funeral will be at 10 a.m. Friday at Central Community Church, 6100 W. Maple in Wichita. Burial will follow at Resthaven Gardens of Memory, 11800 W. Maple in Wichita. Hundreds of people or more are expected to attend the funeral.

Local police hit hard by Deputy Kunze’s death

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

Sunday’s killing of Segwick County Sheriff ’s Deputy Robert Kunze III has reverberated through law enforcement agencies and the community at large.

Kunze was well acquainted with police departments in Cheney, Garden Plain and Goddard, which are part of the beat Kunze normally worked.

Kunze’s death has hit the Cheney Police Department especially hard because of the close working relationship between Kunze and Cheney’s law enforcement officers.

For Cheney Police Chief Ken Winter, Deputy Kunze was not just a colleague – he was a friend.

“He was the first Sedgwick County Deputy to welcome me to law enforcement in this county,” said Winter, whose career included stops in Sumner and Butler counties before he arrived in Cheney in 2014.

Winter and the rest of Cheney’s officers referred to the deputy simply as “Kunze.”

Winter said they talked once or twice per week.

“We struck up a friendship,” Winter said. “He was a heck of a guy. He was a friend with all our guys.”

He said Kunze gave his all to the area, working what is known as “8 Beat,” the southwestern part of Sedgwick County. Winter said Kunze loved the beat and took a lot of care with the people on that beat.

“If he wrote you a ticket, you thanked him. That’s the kind of guy he was.”

Garden Plain Police Chief Rob Sharp also described Kunze as a friend.

“I’ve known him since I’ve been here. He’s probably one of the best deputies around,” Sharp said. “He was always out on the beat where he was supposed to be. He would help in any way he could, and he’s helped this department many times.”

This is not the first time that an officer Sharp has known has been killed in the line of duty. He worked with Sheriff ’s Deputy Kevin Easter while he was with the Clearwater

Police Department. Easter was on third shift, and Easter and Sharp worked numerous calls together.

The relationship between different law enforcement agencies is critical.

“We help Cheney, we help Goddard, (and) they help us.

We help the sheriff ’s department, and they help us,” Sharp said. “They never fail to come and help.”

Lt. Lance Beagley of the Goddard Police Department said he started working in Goddard at about the same time Kunze came on board with the sheriff ’s office.

“He was one of the deputies you could count on to be out working in the county. He was interactive where people lived. He knew people’s history because he worked the beat so long,” he said.

Beagley said Kunze had an ability to help smaller agencies like Goddard and the other towns in Sedgwick County.

Kunze’s training in various areas helped local police departments with cases such as the 2015 vehicle-pedestrian collision that killed Goddard

residents Paul LaBrue and David Bell. Kunze had completed a pedestrian vehicular investigation class not long before that accident.

Beagley said the younger patrol officers in Goddard who worked most with Kunze would feel his loss the most.

“For them to lose someone early in their careers, it’s a blast of reality of how dangerous our work is,” Beagley said. Goddard was among the departments that responded to Sunday’s shooting.

Kunze also was a regular presence in Clearwater, which is part of 7 Beat. Kunze would often assist in the Clearwater area if the regular deputy for that beat was tied up.

Kunze was in the Cheney Police Department Sunday before heading out on what would be his final call. He visited with Cheney Sgt. Mario Martinez about the gun case he was working from earlier that morning. He left Cheney when he was dispatched to a suspicious character call north of Garden Plain.

“Ten to 15 minutes later, he hit his alert button,” Winter

said, a signal to dispatch that he was in trouble.

Winter said the department has already had several debriefings related to Kunze’s death.

Police chaplain Joe Seifert, pastor at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, has visited with officers more than once.

“We want to take care of our people,” Winter said.

While every officer knows each call could be his or her last, it is possible to get a bit comfortable making stops because of the frequency. At the same time, officers can sometimes come off as unfriendly to motorists because they don’t know what they are facing with any given stop. Kunze’s death on Sunday brings home to all law enforcement officers the unknown dangers they face.

Winter described Kunze as a family man who was involved with his child’s life. Kunze is survived by his wife and daughter.

“He was a heck of a guy. He was a friend to all our guys,” Winter said. “I’m going to miss him. We’ll all miss him, but me especially, because he was a friend.”

GP reviews splash pad plans

Council approves backyard chicken ordinance

By Nancy D. Borst The Times-Sentinel

GODDARD – Goddard residents now may apply for a permit to keep female chickens at their homes, thanks to an ordinance adopted by the city council at its Sept. 17 meeting.

The city’s municipal code had made it unlawful to keep “any livestock” commonly considered farm or ranch animals, including chickens, within the city limits. The issue of backyard chickens came to the city’s attention earlier this year when a complaint was made about a resident that owns four chicken hens. The city was asked to remove the animals.

Resident and chicken owner Colleen Casenove fought that decision, bringing her case to the council in June and touting the benefits of backyard chickens. The city then voted to not enforce eviction of the chickens until the matter could be studied further.

The new ordinance amending the municipal code is the product of that study. Up to six female chickens may be maintained as part of a single-family residence by applying for and receiving an annual permit.

The permit fee is $15. The ordinance states that chickens shall be provided access to both a predator-proof coop and a run that shall be built in compliance with all building codes and setback regulations. No outdoor slaughtering of chickens will be allowed.

Council members expressed some concern about how the ordinance would be enforced and conceded that will be a work in progress.

Any violations would be handled in city court.

Council member Larry Zimmerman said he is concerned there will be complaints about clucking chickens at odd hours, similar to barking dog complaints. He was the only member to vote against the ordinance, which passed on a vote of 4-1.

The council accepted

the resignation of council president Enrique Ramirez, effective Oct. 1. Ramirez is relocating to Houston, Texas.

The resignation will leave a seat to be filled by appointment until the term expires in 2020. No plans to fill the seat were announced.

Prior to the meeting, Ramirez said it was going to be hard to leave Goddard, where his wife, Wendy Ramirez, also spent time as director of the Goddard Chamber of Commerce.

“We loved the school district and the small-town feel, but with a big city just moments away,” he said. “The reason I joined the city council was to help the city not only grow, but grow in a way that would benefit families, and my family.”

In other business, the council: • Gave their verbal support to a proposed fundraiser by the Prairie Travelers, who maintain the Prairie Sunset Trail, the hike-bike trail around which Linear Park has been developed in Goddard. The group plans to sell engraved bricks that will be placed in the ground around a statue of a former member that is in the park. The group spends significant funds to maintain the trail. The city offered to pay for a light for the statue and bricks.

• Approved two repairs at the wastewater treatment plant. The first will repair wet well pumps at a cost not to exceed $18,867.42. The second will install a new dry air system to remove condensation from hoses at a cost of $7,750. Both repairs will be paid out of the sewer replacement reserve fund.

• Approved a flex spending account plan for city employees, who can set aside funds pre-tax to pay for medical and dependent care expenses. The plan will begin Oct. 1.

• Approved city clerk Teri Laymon and Mayor Jamey Blubaugh as the city’s voting delegates to the annual League of Kansas Municipalities meeting in October in Topeka.

GARDEN PLAIN – The Garden Plain City Council continued its work toward a possible splash pad in City Park, reviewing a proposal from Oklahoma company Power Play.

Power Play’s proposed splash pad would cost about $125,000 – not including the city’s cost to extend utilities, grade the site and complete any additional concrete work.

Power Play’s proposal “includes the concrete work; 15 fountains that come up out of the ground and could, in the future, be changed to aboveground features; as well as 10 things above ground that dump water and spray water,” said council member Tracy Thul, who has been taking the lead on the splash pad. The pad would have toddler, family and “action”

sections with different levels of splash.

Thul said that the council needs to let Power Play know whether the project is a “go” by its October meeting in order to have a splash pad open by June 1.

The city would use bond financing to pay for the splash pad, and would also start a fundraising campaign to help with the cost.

“Some individuals have spoken up that they’d be willing to help donate if we could get this in place,” Thul said. “Businesses have said they’d be willing to do matching donations.”

The splash pad would not recycle water; recycling water would incur additional costs and man-hours to maintain the amenity. The water from the splash pad would drain into the nearby creek, or it might simply spread out over a rock bed evaporate or get absorbed into the soil.

The city needs state approval for either of those plans, and Thul

said he has not been impressed by the state’s response to his inquiries about the matter.

“I feel like I’ve beaten my head against the wall,” he said. “At some time we’re going to have to commit, state be damned. I hate to say that. They’ve had ample chance to reply back to me.”

In other business: • The council unanimously approved routine, annual updates to public offense and traffic ordinances. Jenny Zoglman was absent.

• The council approved an update to the employee handbook policy on vacation time. Vacation time will accrue for up to two years, after which time employees must either take vacation or choose to be paid for the time.

• The council discussed encroachment by the adjacent landowner into the city’s right-of-way around a well. Public works will install a rope line marking the right-of-way.

Cheney buys meter-reading system

By Sam Jack

The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

CHENEY – Richard Sanders, president of Zenner USA, visited Cheney last week to personally sell the Cheney City Council on a high-tech new system to wirelessly read the city’s gas and water meters.

After hearing from Sanders and engaging in discussion, the council unanimously agreed to buy Zenner’s “Stealth Reader” automatic meter reader system, at a cost of $183,622.25. They also agreed to buy replacement water meters for the entire city from DC&B Supply, at a cost of $122,477.20.

Those two purchases, together with a $1,120 software fee, add up to $307,219.45 in spending on meter upgrades and replacements.

The city is paying cash rather than using bond financing. The vote was 4-0, with Greg Williams absent.

The new automatic meter reader (AMR) system will use a low-powered, wireless “mesh network” to convey data on water and gas use to a central collector device at City Hall.

The collector will then send all the data to Zenner, which will store it on remote servers

and make it available to city staff through a custom software interface.

Sanders told the council that other cities using the AMR system have recouped their initial investment in three or four years, because the system reduces the employee-hours devoted to meter reading and results in a more accurate tabulation of how much water and gas customers are using and should be paying for.

The water usage data can be so granular that it will register individual toilet flushes, he said. That granularity also allows users to quickly notify customers about leaks.

“In any given month, about 8 percent of water customers have leaks,” Sanders said. “With our system, we graph customers’ water use. If you never have zero usage over a 24-hour period, you probably have a leak.”

The system is also good at detecting and pinpointing leaks in the city’s water and gas mains.

The software on which the system is based was developed by the military and is hardened against hacking, according to Sanders.

“We’re the first true mesh system on the market,” he said.

In other business: • City auditor Eric Meyer gave a presentation on the 2017 audit.

He returned a “clean opinion,” meaning there are no deficiencies in the city’s bookkeeping.

Meyer told the city that it has enough money in reserve to operate with no additional revenue for 279 days. That exceeds the general recommendations, which call for 60 to 180 days of reserve funding.

Meyer’s comments on the health of the city’s reserve funds came up as a positive factor later in the meeting, when the city agreed to pay cash for the water meters and reading system.

• Kevin Fowler, Cheney’s director of golf, told the city council that he renegotiated Cherry Oaks’ agreement with Golf Now, the company that provides software and website hosting for the golf course.

In exchange for Golf Now’s services, Cherry Oaks lets Golf Now sell “Hot Deal” tee-times each day.

In the past, Golf Now did not share any revenue from those tee-times, but going forward, Cherry Oaks will get to keep 50 percent. That could result in about $10,000 in additional revenue for the golf course.

• Police Chief Ken Winter said there were 430 service calls and incidents during the month of August. It was the second-busiest month for local police since Winter arrived here in 2014.

Climbing to remember

Clearwater to require house numbers

By Paul Rhodes

The Times-Sentinel prhodes@tsnews.com

CLEARWATER – If you don’t already have house numbers on your home, you’ve now got about three months to get the job done.

At their meeting last week, members of the Clearwater City Council approved an ordinance requiring house numbers on homes in the community. The new regulation requires that the house number be on the home and visible from the street. Curb numbers are not sufficient.

Residents will have 90

days in which to comply with the new ordinance.

During that time, the city will assist residents with the house numbers and installation at no charge.

City officials plan to follow up with door hangers and notices in water bills to further inform residents about the new requirement.

There also was discussion last week on the range of fines tied into the new ordinance. Council members decided they were comfortable with the range of fines for violators, which will be at the discretion of the judge.

The main requirement is that the numbers must

be visible from the street.

Residents can purchase and install their own house numbers, as long as they meet the requirements.

In other business at last week’s meeting, the council: • Heard several items during staff reports, including that the police department will be buying a couple of car seats to help when there is a need locally; that the maintenance department has been dealing with a huge amount of mowing; and that maintenance is working to keep the pool drained following heavy rains.

• Discussed an appropriations resolution that

will allow the city to pay bills more frequently to avoid late fees and utilize discounts for early payments. The council gave direction to legal council to draft the resolution.

• Approved APAC as the low bidder for street and drainage improvements in the third phase of Chisholm Ridge.

The bids came in low compared to engineer’s estimates. The city will also move ahead with utility relocation work in the development.

• Discussed putting up a plaque in City Park relating to its donation to the city and restrictions on its use.

Budget-friendly bathroom tips

The allure of a spa-style bathroom is something few homeowners can resist. Such bathrooms can make for a welcome retreat after a long day at the office or an afternoon spent chasing kids around the yard.

But as appealing as such a sanctuary may seem, the cost of creating a luxury washroom is more than many homeowners’ budgets can withstand.

Fortunately, a dream bathroom does not have to break the bank. In fact, there are several ways to make a bathroom worthy of the most comforting spa without stretching your budget.

• Install a wall-hung mirror. If your idea of a luxury bathroom harkens back to a time before the advent of recessed medicine cabinets, then a wall-hung mirror can give the bathroom an entirely new feel without much of a financial commitment.

Flush-mount mirrors need not require the services of a contractor, but they can provide a sense of elegance that recessed cabinets cannot.

• Replace bathroom countertops. A countertop replacement job may sound expensive, but such an undertaking is not very costly in the washroom, where counter space is typically limited. Since the cost of countertop materials is by the square foot,

Homeowners need not bust their budgets to transform their washrooms into modern, luxurious oases.

you can replace bathroom surfaces for a relatively small amount of money.

Granite countertops can be beautiful, but such surfaces do not create the warm feel that many prefer in a luxury bathroom. A material such as soapstone is warm and inexpensive and can quickly give the bathroom a new look.

• Embrace calm colors.

Painting the bathroom is another inexpensive way to give the room an entirely new look. If the walls of your washroom are currently a vibrant color, consider a more calming tone to give the room the luxurious and relaxing feel you’re aiming for. If your bathroom includes a clawfoot tub, you also can make it a two-

tone tub to add a touch of relaxing elegance. Paint the tub’s exterior in a calming tone such as soft gray, and you will have transformed the washroom at little cost and even less effort.

• Transform your double vanity. Many homeowners prefer a double vanity in their bathrooms, as such a setup allows both men and women the space to get ready for bed or work without getting in one another’s way. But instead of a traditional vanity with a counter between the sinks, consider installing matching pedestal sinks to surround an antique washstand. This can give the washroom a feel of antique luxury, and such washstands can found for a few hundred dollars.

• Replace old fixtures.

Though they are often overlooked, cabinet and door fixtures as well as towel racks can greatly influence the feel of a washroom. If the cabinet and drawer handles are old or outdated, replace them with more modern options. Such a job might be even more effective if you repaint or reface existing cabinetry. Neither task is terribly expensive, but both can give the washroom a more luxurious feel. The same goes for replacing old towel racks, which can be an eyesore if they’re especially dated.

Creative ways to recycle leaves

Leaves cascading down from trees indicate the arrival of autumn.

However, colorful and awe-inspiring autumn leaves can be a hazard if left to lie on the ground too long.

Fallen leaves form a dense insulator to protect trees’ roots and prevent competing plants from growing. Decomposing leaves also provide nutrients for the tree. But wet leaves can be a safety hazard and leaves left on the lawn through the winter can pose a threat to the grass. These are just a couple of reasons why so much effort is placed on leaf clean-up in the fall. The following are some creative ways to recycle leaves that fall from your trees in the weeks to come.

• Mulch: Shredded leaves can make for a great amendment to fertilizer for garden beds and even the lawn.

Leaves lying on the

grass can be mulched into small pieces with a mulching mower so they don’t choke the blades of grass. Leaves also can be broken down with a string trimmer, a leaf blower that has a vacuum function or a commercial shredder/chipper. Add the shredded leaves to a compost pile or use them to fill container plants before adding regular potting soil.

• Insulation: Collect leaves to mound over delicate perennial plants and shrubs. The leaves will add more warmth to the soil and may help plants make it through harsh winters. Just remove the leaves slowly when spring arrives so that the soil underneath can get the sunlight and water it needs to thrive.

Leave some leaves in the yard so that animals can use them as nesting material and line their dens

Gross Tile creates a striking transformation

Latest project combines old and new design elements for the perfect look and feel

When a homeowner on Wichita’s WestSide came to Gross Tile and Custom Remodeling with some unusual and different ideas for their bathroom, owner Mark Gross didn’t even raise an eyebrow.

“The client had some great ideas and it turned out really cool,” said Mark. “I really enjoy taking a vision like this and turning it into something beautiful and functional.”

The goal with this project was to take a dated 1980s bathroom and replace a giant, unused corner tub and tiny shower stall with a beautiful and functional large walk-in shower. The homeowner also needed more storage space, and wanted to mix old and new design elements in the same bathroom.

After gutting the old shower and tub, Mark utilized the tub location for the walk-in shower, and the old shower space for a new linen closet.

“We’ve done that quite often, and it creates a lot of storage space,” said Mark. He also recommended a wall-mounted vanity that gave the bathroom a more modern feel, along with the glass-walled shower.

The design for the shower floor spills out into the rest of the bathroom, creating a “lava flow” look. Gross Tile combined black and grey hexagon tile for the lava look, and the bathroom floor is porcelain tile with a marble look.

The vanity area includes a feature wall with concrete-looking porcelain tile that’s a medium grey color.

In the shower, white subway tile was used, along with a unique textured tile that gives a waterfall look to the side of the shower.

Completing the redesign are all-new fixtures with an antique look that fit well with the subway tile and the feature wall behind the vanity.

“The waterfall look in the shower is subtle, but it is such a cool look,” said Mark. “This was a fun project.”

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.

Mark graduated from North High and Wichita State University.

Leaves From Page 8 for the winter.

• Stuffing: Create whimsical scarecrows as part of your autumn decoration scheme.

Gather older clothes that you no longer use and stuff the sleeves of shirts and the legs of pants with leaves, which are less expensive and easier to come by than straw. Use a few pieces of straw around the neck and hand areas of the scarecrow for visual

effect. Tie off with twine and display your scarecrow.

• Bedding: Chicken owners can use fallen leaves as bedding in their chicken coops.

Dry leaves also may create more comfortable and drier conditions for goats and other livestock. Goats may look to recently fallen leaves as a nutritious food source. Gather the leaves and let the goats munch before you further rake and compost the leaves.

• Decorations: Natural leaves can be used as decorations both inside and outside a home.

String freshly fallen leaves together and wrap them around a grapevine wreath for a rustic door decoration. Leaves can be placed in clear vases and put on display for a cheap way to showcase some autumn color.

Preserve favorite leaves with a lamination machine or by sealing them between heated sheets of waxed paper. Cut out the leaf shapes and use for hanging window decorations.

• Recreation: Leaves have long been favorite toys for children, who eagerly await jumping into large piles of fallen leaves.

Fill paper bags with leaves and draw a target on the front. Let kids test their skill aiming for the targets.

Children can camouflage their clothing with leaves and masking tape and have a more intense session of hide and seek.

Contemporary styling continues to influence design

Since the 1950s, contemporary styling has had an influence on interior design. This influence can be seen in modern times with the “transitional” décor style.

Transitional design can be defined as a marriage between traditional and contemporary décor styles.

It has become increasingly popular as people are looking for a change from traditional but not quite to the point of all-out contemporary styling.

Transitional design consists of mixing the new with the old by combining the complimentary parts of each style. You get the familiar comfort of traditional with the fashion-forward styling of contemporary. You could even call it “comfortable contemporary.” Transitional style incorporates the ornate with the clean cut lines and the romantic with the edgy. It also balances the masculine with the more feminine aspects of décor.

Transitional furniture is the bringing together of comfort and minimalism with the attractive styling of traditional furniture. It is simple yet sophisticated and can have straight lines or rounded profiles. The scale of the furniture is ample but not intruding. A transitional ambience can be characterized as cozy and comfortable, without the sleek and stark feel of contemporary furnishings. And in a given room, styles can be mixed and coordinated. For example,

wood with metal or clean lines matched with curvy, more formal lines.

Your transitional design plan should be wellthought out. The combination of furnishings should be calculated with sound interior design principles in mind. Otherwise the setting becomes a confusing hodge-podge of mismatched of furnishings.

Typically, neutrals and monochromatic themes are found in a transitional setting. The lack of strong color tends to evoke feeling of cleanliness and serenity. The goal of color in a transitional décor is to provide an understated elegance of contemporary without the strong colors or bold contrasts. The absence of color is compensated with contrasts of light and dark. Therefore,

Ulabsence of a lot of strong tra suede and chenille are color. You can mix and among the more popular

fabric choices. Window treatments in a transitional setting are typically not heavy or complicated.

A minimalist approach is central to transitional décor. This is true down to the fine details of accessorizing. There is not a lot of ornamentation in transitional styling. You will find updated accessories but not unusual, artsy, or avant garde pieces as you would in a strong contemporary setting. Transitional décor has a tendency towards a few well proportioned accessory items with an emphasis on clean, un-

cluttered surfaces.

The flooring should be simple and or muted in natural or muted colors.

There should be little or no pattern in the floor treatment. Simple design rugs or rugs made of natural fibers work great in this setting. Again, the goal is to create a clean yet warm feel to the room.

Transitional décor is then a timeless compromise between style types. It provides a subtle elegance of contemporary flair with the familiarity and comfort of traditional.

The result is a sophisticated yet relaxed decor.

Flint Hills Spas & Pools

Second location provides opportunities for WestSide customers

Flint Hills Spas & Pools has expanded its operations in Wichita with a new WestSide location that just opened this week.

It’s been a lot of work for owner Jamil Toubassi and his staff, but Toubassi couldn’t be happier with the decision to create a west Wichita location for his popular outdoor leisure business. The new location is at 6730 W. Kellogg, along the frontage road just east of Ridge Road.

“Our number one reason for the new west Wichita location was the requests we were getting from our customers on this side of town and the suburban areas on the west side of Wichita,” said Toubassi, who took over Flint Hills Spas on the east side of Wichita in 2015. He almost immediately moved the business to a new location at Central and Woodlawn, where he more than doubled the showroom space for customers.

But that new location for the city’s premier hot tub, exercise pool and sauna dealer filled up fast – with new products and customers from all across Wichita and the surrounding area. Now, Toubassi is doubly excited about the even larger showroom space he has available for customers on the west side of Wichita, and the new product lines being carried by Flint Hills Spas & Pools. New product lines include aboveground pools, new grill lines, pool chemicals and massage chairs.

The new showroom is located at 6730 W. Kellogg, along the frontage road just east of Ridge Road. Flint Hills Spas opened there in late August.

“There’s a lot about this location that will work well for us,” said Toubassi. “There’s

a lot happening in this area right now with new restaurants and other businesses, and we have great visibility right along Kellogg.

“We’re a destination business, and I think this location will be easy for our customers to access.”

Flint Hills Spas & Pools had established a reputation for its quality products and first-rate customer service, and Toubassi noted that the fall season is a great time for homeowners to shop for hot tubs, exercise pools and saunas and get the installation work completed before winter.

“In a lot of ways, this was our natural next step,” Toubassi said of the second location for his spa and pool business. “And with the large location we were able to secure, we’ll have more of everything, plus we’re very excited about introducing our new products such as above-ground pools, two new gas grill lines, and pool chemicals. We’ve also got massage chairs and grill accessories.

“The chance to offer quality grills for our customers is exciting,” said Toubassi.

“Come check out everything we have to offer for your unique outdoor lifestyle.”

Flint Hills Spas & Pools is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The east location at Central and Woodlawn has the same hours, plus is open Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.

For more information about the new west Wichita location, call 316-5001634, stop by the showroom at 6730 W. Kellogg, or visit the company’s website, www.flinthillsspas.com.

Flint Hills Spas & Pools also sells saunas.

Flint Hills Spas & Pools owner Jamil Toubassi has expanded operations to include a new WestSide location that is now open at 6730 West Kellogg, on the frontage road just east of Ridge Road.

In addition to hot tubs, the new WestSide showroom also has new products such as above-ground pools, two new gas grill lines, and pool chemicals.

Puppet Ladies celebrate 10,000 audience members

By Sam Jack

The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

GODDARD – The Goddard Puppet Ladies recently celebrated a milestone: Their literacy-promoting puppet shows have reached 10,000 young people.

The Puppet Ladies, all members of the Goddard Woman’s Club, hit the milestone Thursday, Sept. 13, when they did back-to-back shows for Goddard public school students.

In addition to their shows for public schools, the Puppet Ladies also presents their high-energy, interactive programs for preschool, Parents as Teachers, Wichita Friends School and Holy Spirit Catholic School students.

The Puppet Ladies got started in 2011, and picked up steam a few years ago, when they added a summer season of performances at area libraries’ summer reading programs.

“We quickly discovered that the key to making it successful was interacting with the audience,” said Gail Jamison, one of the core members of the group. “That means every show is different, but that’s what makes it fun for us.”

Last Friday, the Puppet Ladies performed “A House for Hermit Crab” at Dove Estates, for a mixed audience of seniors and students from Holy Spirit Catholic School. Their handmade puppet theater was replete with seashells, seaweed, and images of ocean creatures like sharks, dolphins and sea turtles.

Jamison starred as the hermit crab in

search of a new seashell “house,” and Lisa Stoller served as narrator. The kids were rapt throughout the presentation and had plenty of questions and comments afterward.

“As they get older, they have a curiosity about how we create the set, what’s behind the scenes, how we bring a lot of these props from our homes,” Jamison said. “They want to create their own sets and costumes, put on their own shows.”

Each Puppet Ladies show includes a take-home activity component intended to encourage children to creatively reenact and expand on what they saw.

Several of the Puppet Ladies serve on an advisory panel that is working on strategic planning for the Goddard Public Library. Presenting programs at over a dozen area libraries has informed their perspective, Stoller said.

“The Goddard library does not accommodate what we do very well at all,” she said. “When we come in, we have to be right in the middle of the library. People who are doing testing or serious work – we disrupt the entire library. It’s not ideal that they don’t have a separate flex space to be able to do programs.”

Several Puppet Ladies said they hope the Goddard Public Library will get upgraded facilities soon, pointing to a new library in Valley Center as an example of what could be possible.

In celebration of its 85th program year, the Goddard Woman’s Club is planning a float in the Goddard Fall Festival parade, Saturday, Oct. 6. The Puppet Ladies plan to show off their costumes and puppets.

New banquet hall planned at Cheney Lake

By Sam Jack

The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

CHENEY – Officials at Cheney State Park are continuing to work to add amenities to the lake’s east side.

The east side is home to the lake’s public marina and store, which both got remodels and upgrades after Stephanie and Kevin O’Brien took them over in 2016.

In May 2018, the nonprofit Cheney Lake Association and park officials broke ground on three two-bedroom, ADA-compliant cabins that will be located on the east side. Those should be open and available for rent sometime in the coming winter.

The intent is to eventually build additional cabins in the east side area, Cheney State Park manager Mike Satterlee said. Park officials and boosters also want to renovate the rest of the large building that is home to the marina store, turning it into a banquet hall that can be rented out for weddings, family reunions and other events.

All that will require water, and right now the

A new banquet hall is now in the works at the marina building, near the new cabins being built on the east side of Cheney Lake.

lake’s east side operates on two wells that only provide drinking water during warm-weather months.

That’s why Satterlee approached the Garden Plain City Council and asked if there would be any willingness to expand city water service to the east side.

On Sept. 5, Garden Plain

Lions survive scare

By Greg McFadden The Times-Sentinel

Goddard remained unbeaten three games into the season by taking down Andover Central 17-16 last Friday, but the victory didn’t come nearly as easy as the Lions’ first two wins of the year.

The game against the Jaguars was a dogfight until the very end, and Goddard didn’t prevail in the contest until it held off a two-point conversion attempt in overtime.

Head coach Tom Beason would prefer a game without the heart-stopping moments, but never doubted his team’s ability to get the job done in the end.

“We are blue collar, hard working, and come-every-day-to-goto-battle kind of kids. And that is reflected in the opportunity to win close games,” Beason said.

Midway through the first quarter Goddard appeared to have things rolling when Kaeden Hoefer scored on a 3-yard touchdown run for a 7-0 lead.

But from that point the Lions’ offensive unit struggled and was often plagued by costly penalties and turnovers. Beason knows his team was often its own worst enemy offensively.

“When I was a kid my dad used to talk about being snake bit and that’s what it felt like. No matter if we did something right it still felt wrong,” Beason said.

“We were consistently getting first downs that were taken away

through penalties.”

After scoring a total of 66 points in their first two games, the Lions managed just 10 points in regulation against Andover Central. Beason says penalties were big drive-killers for his squad. Goddard committed 12 penalties for a total of 90 yards.

“We’re an up tempo team and with the penalties we got off schedule,” Beason said. “Once we were behind the chains on third down we were limited in what we could do. We couldn’t stay out of our own way.”

The Lions finally put another touchdown on the board when it mattered most on the first play of overtime. Kyler Semrad connected with Carter Morrow for a 10-yard touchdown pass and a 17-10 lead.

Semrad ended the night going 18 of 41 for 216 yards. Andover Central bottled up dangerous Lions’ running back Ben Bannister.

He was held to just 39 rushing yards on the night.

On a night when the offense struggled to find a rhythm, the Lions’ defense was dominant and allowed Andover Central just 228 total yards from scrimmage.

Linebacker Dhimani Butler had a monster game for Goddard defensively. Butler had 2 sacks and 13 tackles.

Next up on the schedule for the Lions is the cross town rival Eisenhower, and Beason expects his upperclassmen to lead a spirited week of practice.

Crusaders invade Clearwater for win

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

One rough quarter was the biggest difference in Clearwater’s 47-26 home loss to the Wellington Crusaders on Friday.

The Crusaders outscored the Indians 14-0 in the second quarter, turning a 7-6 first-quarter advantage into a two possession halftime lead, 21-6.

Trailing 7-0, Clearwater’s Tanner Cash threw a short pass to Lane Pierce, who ran in for a 75-yard touchdown to cut Wellington’s lead to 1 point.

The Indians found the endzone on the first drive of the second half. A 50-yard run by Cash helped set up an 8-yard touchdown run by Cash a few plays later, pulling Clearwater to within 8 points, 21-13.

The rest of the quarter belonged to the Crusaders, who scored three times for a 41-13 lead going into the fourth quarter.

Clearwater did score twice in the quarter, with an 11-yard touchdown pass from Cash to Jack Rausch, and a 13-yard touchodwn run by Cash, his third scoring run of the game.

That pulled the Indians to within two possessions, 41-27.

“Wellington is very good.

They have a lot of size and are very good,” said Clearwater head coach Jeremy Scheuffler. “We just had a couple breakdowns on defense and a couple on offense.”

The Indians have a lot of players still making the adjustment to the varsity level, which

brings more speed and more size. Clearwater returned just three defensive starters and none on offense. With six starting sophomores, Scheuffler said, the Indians often have 15-year-old players facing off against 17- and 18-year-old seniors.

“They have to grow up fast,” Scheuffler said.

Cash continues to be the centerpiece of Clearwater’s offense.

He has run for more than 400 yards this season, despite missing part of the Mulvane game with injury.

The coach said Lane Pierce performed well last week, noting “He can make some guys miss.”

Rausch made a nice play on his touchdown catch.

Despite suffering a second consecutive loss, Schueffler said the Inidans improved from the Mulvane game to last week’s contest against Wellington.

“We want to win right now, regardless of who we play. We need to improve week to week and make progress,” Scheuffler said.

This Friday, Clearwater hosts an 0-3 Cheney team that has shown big-play ability but has been inconsistent. The Cardinals made a deep playoff run last year, but had to replace several key players.

It’s the district opener for both teams under the new six-team format. Clearwater now is a 3A team, at least for football. The Indians’ district includes longtime foes Wichita Trinity, Andale and Collegiate.

Kickoff against Cheney is at 7 p.m. in Clearwater.

Andover gets wild win over Tigers

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

Trailing by 20 points at the start of the fourth quarter, the Eisenhower Tigers fought their way back into last Thurday’s home football game against the Andover Trojans.

The Tigers scored twice in the final period and needed one final defensive stand to potentially tie the Trojans, but came up just short in their comeback effort.

With Andover leading 27-7, the Tigers – who saw three different quarterbacks take snaps – scored on a 57-yard touchdown throw from Nick Hogan to Cody Houser. That cut the Trojans’ lead to 27-14.

Following an Andover punt, the Tigers took a gamble and went for it on fourth-and-1 at their own 13 but were stopped for a 1-yard loss, giving Andover great field position at the Eisenhower 12.

But the Eisenhower defense held, aided by an Andover personal foul, and the Trojans settled for a 42-yard field goal, their third successful field goal of the game.

The Tigers, starting at their own 20 with 4:55 to play,

quickly marched down the field with assistance from Andover. The Trojans committed a personal foul early in the drive, and an interception thrown by Hogan was wiped out by an Andover roughing-the-passer penalty. The Trojans followed that penalty up with another flag for roughing, putting the Tigers on the 12-yard line. Two plays later, Hogan and Houser connected again for a 12-yard touchdown. Hogan, slipping on the turf, completed a toss to Parker Wenzel for the two-point conversion.

That cut Andover’s lead to 30-22 with 3:14 to play.

The Tigers opted to kick deep and try to force a punt, but the Trojans were able to pick up a pair of first downs and run out the clock.

A touchdown and then a field goal gave Andover a 10-0 lead after one quarter. A fumbled snap gave Andover possession, and they turned it into points with a 50-yard field goal.

Collin Mackey started the game for Eisenhower but did not play after the first quarter.

Nick Hogan played most of the rest of the game, including leading the Tigers on their first scoring drive late in the first

half.

The Tigers, facing a fourthand-15 in their territory opted to punt, but the Trojans’ receiver muffed the kick and Colton Mackinnon recovered the ball to give Eisenhower new life at the Andover 34.

Two plays later, Hogan delived a pass to Chance Omli for a 37-yard score. That pulled the Tigers to within 6 points, 13-7.

Turnovers hurt Eisenhower in the third quarter. They lost two fumbles, one of which led to an Andover touchdown and a 20-7 lead. The Tigers gave up the ball on downs at their own 43 late in the third, and Andover needed just two plays to score and go ahead 27-7.

Eisenhower now stands 1-2 on the season.

This Friday will be rivalry night as the Tigers face off against the Goddard Lions.

Eisenhower will be the home team at Goddard District Stadium.

Goddard is 3-0, but after two blowout victories, the Lions needed overtime to beat Andover Central 17-16. The Lions won after a failed 2-point converstion try by the Jaguars.

Eisenhower won 21-14 at Andover Central in Week 2.

Carlos Fernandez was the standout offensively, scoring four goals and adding an assist. Ian Young, Ethan Doud and Issac Shoemaker scored a goal apiece. Tyler Brewer and Cory Gleason had two assists each; Fernando Vidrio and Seth Doud also contributed assists.

On Sept. 13, Eisenhower again faced Campus, a team it beat 1-0 during the Campus-Goddard tournament.

The scoreline was reversed last Thursday, as the Tigers lost 1-0. The Colts’ winning goal came in the second half, when Roman Mendez scored off an assist from Hassan Al-Amood.

Garden Plain dominates Trinity for third straight win

By Greg McFadden The Times-Sentinel

Garden Plain was all over Trinity Academy from the opening kickoff last Friday and the Owls stayed unbeaten with a 56-14 romp over the Knights.

Head coach Ken Dusenbury was disappointed with his team’s consistency in its victory over Douglass the previous week, but he knew his team was prepared for the contest against Trinity following a good week of practice.

“We had a good week and practiced fast and got better,” Dusenbury said. “ We stressed to our players we had to raise our intensity level and play clean.”

Dusenbury’s message stuck with his team against Trinity

as the Owls were relentless on both sides of the ball. His squad posted 21 points in the first and second quarters to effectively seal the victory by halftime.

Offensively Garden Plain churned out 370 rushing yards.

A trio of rushers helped fuel the big night on the ground. Senior Caleb Hitt ran for 66 yards and 3 touchdowns. Junior Blake Long went for 84 yards and a score of his own. Senior quarterback Ethan McGregor added 77 yards rushing.

As it has for years, Dusenbury says everything offensively starts with the Owls ground game.

“We know that we will need to throw down the road, but everything we do stems from the run,” he said. Dusenbury also knows that while much of running is

Owls suffer first loss

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

Garden Plain went 1-1 in the Owls only action last week, a home triangular against Rose Hill and Cheney.

The Owls suffered their first loss of the season, falling in two sets against the Rose Hill Rockets. The Rockets were ranked No. 5 in Class 4A in last week’s Kansas Volleyball Association rankings, while the Owls were No. 1 in 2A. “I thought we did a poor job defensively against Rose Hill. Obviously with a high-caliber hitter such as Gracie Van Driel, you aren’t going to stop her all the time, but I felt we could have done a better job containing her,” said Garden Plain head coach Gina Clark.

Abby Gordon and Alli Puetz led the Owls with four kills each. Puetz and Sydney Becker had three blocks each.

The Owls bounced back against

Cheney, dropping only the second set in the win over their Central Plains League rival.

Natasha Dooley had 11 kills and Gordon added nine. Claire Clark led with four blocks, and Kennedy Horacek had 33 digs.

“I was pleased with the first and third sets against Cheney for obvious reasons. In the second set, we spent way too much time tipping, rolling and hitting shots instead of working to terminate the ball with big swings. We went away from what was working, and it cost us the set,” Clark said.

Garden Plain travels to Hesston Thursday for a dual with the Swathers. On Saturday, the Owls will take part in the Douglass tournament, starting at 9 a.m. Next Tuesday, Garden Plain goes to Wichita for a triangular with Independent and Chaparral, starting at 5 p.m.

ers with their speed. But at the varsity level you can’t always do that,” he said. “They need to trust and put their foot in the ground, follow their line, and the

hole will be there.”

Garden Plain threw the ball only seven times, but McGregor made his five completions count. He had 139 yards through the air and connected with Matt Pauly and Trey Smith for scores.

Defensively the Owls held the Trinity offense to just 295 yards. Garden Plain also forced 2 interceptions. Hitt came up with one of the picks for the Owls, and Arden Rex came up with one as well.

Dusenbury was pleased to see his defense pitch a shutout for three quarters and says this was also a reflection of higher intensity levels.

The Owls opening district game will be on the road against Remington.

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

The Cheney volleyball team played just two matches last week, falling to both Rose Hill and Garden Plain in a triangular hosted by the GP Owls.

Both opponents were tough – the Owls were ranked No. 1 in Class 2A by the Kansas Volleyball Association last week, and the KVA had the Rockets at No. 5 in 4A. Cheney lost to Rose Hill in two sets, although they went to extra points in the second set. The Cardinals rallied from a first-set loss to Garden Plain to win the second, but fell short in the third.

“We are getting better, and that’s the goal – to get better every time we play. And I feel like we are doing that,” said Cheney head coach Sara Walkup. “We had some huge adjustments to make against Rose Hill and did a great job making them earn points.

We carried that over into the next match with Garden Plain and I thought we played a pretty decent match overall. We still have some things to work on, but I can see things

improving.”

Layne Needham had five kills against Rose Hill and five more against Garden Plain. Destinee O’Shea and Mariah Hillman also had five assists against the Owls. Kylee Scheer delivered 37 assists against Rose Hill.

Cheney started this week in Hutchinson, facing Trinity Catholic and Remington; results were not available at press time.

The Cardinals host their home tournament this Saturday, with matches beginning at 9 a.m. The field includes Chaparral, Trinity Catholic, Haven, Moundridge, Wellington, Collegiate and Trinity Academy.

“We love having a home tournament during the season. It’s much less stressful than being at another school for a full day of playing. We should have some good teams to test ourselves against this Saturday, so it should be a solid day of volleyball,” Walkup said.

Next Tuesday, Cheney hosts a quad with Douglass, Conway Springs and new Central Plains League member Kingman. Play begins at 5 p.m.

Sept. 11 at Garden Plain Rose Hill def. Cheney 25-18, 26-24; Garden Plain def. Cheney 25-20, 20-25, 25-19.

Teams take part in home golf events

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

Home tournaments were held by two local schools over the past week.

Eisenhower’s tournament at Tex Consolver Golf Course was last Thursday, and Cheney’s home tournament kicked off this week on Monday.

Eisenhower and Goddard finished fourth and fifth in the eight-team field at Tex Consolver, while Cheney placed eighth. The Tigers shot 209, while the Lions were just two strokes behind at 211. Cheney shot 229 over nine holes.

The Lions had a pair of top-10 players. The Tigers did not break the top 10 but had three players in the top 20.

Andale-Garden Plain and Cheney did well at Cheney’s tournament Monday at Cherry Oaks Golf Course, the home course for both squads.

Andale-Garden Plain won easily, with a score of 329 over 18 holes. Buhler shot 407 to take second, and Cheney was five strokes behind at 412 to place third in the 13-team field.

Andale-Garden Plain’s top four golfers finished in the top 10, including Isabelle Fontes of Garden Plain, who placed eight. Cheney’s Aubrey Freeman led the Cardinals with a ninthplace finish, and Makenzie Cox and Natalie Craig were 11th and 12th. Five Cheney golfers were in the top 15.

Eisenhower placed eighth in the 13-team field at the Salina tournament on

Monday, shooting 426. The Tigers were just a single stroke ahead of Newton.

Eisenhower had three top30 finishes, led by Karsen Klein, who took 14th.

Goddard was in action as well Monday, taking sixth in the seven-team field at Andover’s tournament, held at Crestview Country Club. Paige Strausberg paced the Lions. She shot 100 and placed 16th. Megan Bay was 20th.

Last Friday, Andale-Garden Plain won Buhler’s tournament at Hesston Golf Course. The team had three of the top four placers, including Garden Plain’s Isabelle Fontes, who took fourth. The rest of the squad featured Andale golfers. Cheney shot 403 to place fifth in the 12-team

field, and Eisenhower shot 420 and placed 10th.

Last week on Tuesday, Goddard placed second at Andover Central’s tournament at Sierra Hills.

The Tigers shot 322, five strokes better than Buhler.

Megan Bay took seventh.

Teams are preparing for their final regular-season tournaments before league play, which is followed by regionals. This Thursday, Goddard will head to Auburn Hills for the Maize South tournament, starting at 3 p.m. Also Thursday, Andale-Garden Plain will play in Circle’s tournament at Prairie Trails Golf Course in El Dorado. Tee time is 1 p.m.

On Monday, Andale-Garden Plain will host its annual tournament at Cherry Oaks in Cheney.

The field will include Cheney and Goddard.

Next Wednesay, Goddard will golf in Wichita North’s tournament at Sim park, which begins at 1 p.m.

Eisenhower is off this week, as the Tigers are in the middle of a 10-day break. They return to action next Thursday at Carey Park in Hutchinson.

Roadrunners run past the Cardinals

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

The Cheney Cardinals fell to 0-3 this football season following a 42-14 home loss to the Chaparral Roadrunners.

Cheney has started this season by playing its three district opponents from 2017, and those three opponents are all undefeated this season.

Last Friday’s 28-point loss was the largest defeat so far, although the Cardinals were still within a touchdown late in the second quarter.

“They were wellcoached and came out ready to play hard. I feel I need to do a better job of getting our kids coached up. We struggled with some things we shouldn’t be struggling with,” said Cheney head coach Shelby Wehrman.

Perhaps the most frustrating moment was following a missed Cheney field goal.

The Cardinals’ Riley Petz had intercepted a Roadrunner pass and returned it to the Chaparral 4-yard line.

But the drive stalled out and the Cardinals tried a field goal. The Roadrunners blocked the kick and returned it for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead.

Cheney came back to tie the game, scoring on a 23-yard run by Petz. The Roadrunners responded with a pair of touchdowns late in the first quarter and early in the second for a 21-7 lead.

Again, Cheney showed some resiliency with a 61-yard scoring drive, capped by a Kauy Kuhn 19-yard touchdown run that trimmed the Roadrunners’ lead to 21-14.

Another Chaparral score made it 28-14 at halftime, and the Roadrunners added a pair of third-quarter touchdowns.

While Cheney struggled on both sides of the ball, there were some good individual performances. Petz had the best night of the season, running for 101 yards and breaking the 100-

yard mark for the first time this season.

Kuhn added 34 yards, and Clay Robinson ran for 28.

Petz also threw a 52-yard pass that was caught by Brendon Dewey, his only catch of the night. Petz caught five passes for 52 yards, and Zac Block had three for 37 receiving yards.

While Petz had his biggest offensive night of the season, he’s been playing more on defense, too, in part because of injuries. Wehrman would like to keep him mostly focused on offense, but Petz has made a case for playing both ways with two big interceptions this season.

“He’s such a competitive kid. The last couple weeks, he’s really improved on defense,” Wehrman said.

Chaparral had a slight edge rushing, 224 yards to 190 for Cheney. The Cardinals passed for 141 yards, a little more than the Roadrunners’ 133 yards.

Now Cheney turns its attention to Friday’s road game at Clearwater.

The Indians are 1-2 and also have faced a tough schedule that has seen them lose two straight.

The Indians are a young team, returning only three defensive starters and starting six sophomores.

“I’ve been impressed with their quarterback’s running play. That’s where they’ve had the most success. Stopping him will be the key,” Wehrman said.

Friday’s game marks the beginning of district play in the new six-team, five-game format where the top four teams advance to the playoffs. Clearwater is playing football at 3A for the first time in many years, one of many teams that changed classes under the new football classifications implemented statewide. Former Cheney foes Garden Plain, Conway Springs and Chaparral are now in 2A. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

The Eisenhower Tigers faced some challenges last week, suffering a key injury in last week’s tournament at Maize, and dropping a pair of matches at a triangular on Sept. 11.

The Tigers went 1-4 at Maize on Saturday. Eisenhower picked up a two-set win over Newton but lost four matches, including a later rematch with Newton as well as falling to Maize, Maize South and Hutchinson.

“The tournament on Saturday was very frustrating.

I think we definitely showed our capabilities in the Newton game,” Eisenhower head coach Shelby Zoglman said. It was in that win over the Newton Railers that the Tigers lost middle hitter Makayla Brungardt to injury. “What made it even more impressive was that...we were still able to beat them in two sets.

I was proud of the way Aleyna Winter and Faith Madzey stepped up and played roles that were new.”

The Tigers went three sets in their losses to Newton and Hutchinson, while they lost in two sets to Maize and Maize South. Zoglman pointed to the Newton win as an example of what Eisenhower can do.

“I feel like the only thing stopping us right now is consistency. I thought both Morgan Bryand, Hannah Brisco and Trinity Pfaff had great hitting games throughout the day. Makayla Brungardt was blocking incredibly well before she went down,” Zoglman said.

Eisenhower went to Andover on Tuesday to face the Trojans and Goddard. This Saturday, the Tigers have another tournament. They will play in Newton starting at 8:30 a.m. Next Tuesday, the Tigers are back in Andover to take on the Trojans again as well as the Andover Central Jaguars.

Sept. 15 at Maize tournament Maize South def. Eisenhower 25-17, 25-16; Maize def. Eisenhower 25-22, 25-16; Eisenhower def. Newton 25-19, 25-14; Hutchinson def. Eisenhwoer 25-23, 20-25, 25-6; Newton def. Eisenhower 25-17, 18-25, 25-14.

Adding to our circle of fun, family One of the best things about my annual trek to the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield is the camaraderie that ensues from the experiences we create at the music festival.

There are certainly opportunities to enjoy this acclaimed bluegrass and folk music festival as daily visitors to the Cowley County Fairgrounds in Winfield. You can make a full day of the music, return home to your comfortable bed and clean bathroom, and come back refreshed the next day.

Or, you can join the thousands of folks who also make this a camping experience and bounce back and forth from the festival’s stages to their nearby campground.

For most of the 40-plus years I’ve been associated with the Walnut Valley Festival, I’ve been one of the campers. I started out in college sleeping in the back hatch of my car.

Over the years, I graduated to a tent, then a camper, back to a tent, some day tripping, and finally back to my camper.

A few years ago, after breaking off from a large camp that I helped form, I went off on my own with my girlfriend Kim. We found a quiet spot to camp in a primitive camping area (no electricity or water) and that has been our festival home ever since. My oldest daughter Abby and her kids now join us in that camp every year.

Last year, we added some new blood to our experience in the form of several “virgins” – folks who’ve never been before – who came in for day trips. We must not have scared them off because they were all back again this year, and added to the fun of dinners at our camp.

But the biggest change to our camp this year was the addition of Karen McDade, Kim’s sister.

Karen loves to camp, and had always wanted to attend the Walnut Valley Festival.

She made plans early on, and kept us posted with her preparatory work. She had her packing all done days before the festival started, and did all kinds of crafty things to help make her little slice of camp more homey for all of us.

Those preparations included making a camp shower for all of us to

share – and we gratefully did, even if the whole shower situation was a little janky.

Karen got her hands on a couple of solar shower bladders that we filled and put on the tailgate of my truck to warm up. She also constructed a shower curtain and “holder” with hula hoops, rope and a sheet.

The first test of the shower was by Karen, before the water got warm.

She said a cold shower was just what she needed.

Her sister Kim also gave it a shot, but I held out for warm water the next day.

Because of my neuropathy issues and my recent major surgery, I was a little wobbly in the shower the next afternoon, but with some help from Kim to hold me upright, I managed to drain a full bladder of warm shower water onto myself, and made it back to my camper. I was squeaky clean from head to toe, and grateful for Karen’s efforts to provide us with a shower.

Of course, I had to give her a little grief, and noted that the local recreation center was just a few minutes away, where for $5 I could work out in their gym and shower in their splendid facilities.

I told her if I claimed to be heading to the convenience store, but had a towel tucked under my arm, she would know where I was really going.

Karen proved to be a wonderful and worthy addition to our camp this year. In addition to her shower contribution, she helped babysit the grandkids and pitched in to help with mealtime chores. Most importantly, she thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and added to the overall joy we shared in camp and at the music performances.

She’s already asked off for the days corresponding with next year’s festival, so we know she’ll be back. And who knows… maybe she’ll bring some improvements to the camp shower.

Deputy gave his life for his job...and for us Many of us have jobs that can be difficult at times.

There can be long hours, stressful demands and unreasonable bosses. While the economy may be doing well overall, there are still far too many people struggling because their jobs don’t pay what they deserve.

Whatever problems we may have at work, however, they seem quite trivial this week.

On Sunday afternoon, Sedgwick County Sheriff ’s Deputy Robert Kunze III – a Milton resident and a neighbor to many of us, even if we didn’t realize it – lost his life performing his job.

And in his final moments on this Earth, he performed his duties one last time by killing his assailant, a man who previously served time for drug crimes, thefts and physical violence. That suspect proved on Sunday that

he was a threat to the public and not above taking a person’s life.

Robert Kunze’s actions mean that suspect will no longer be able to harm any of us. Kunze gave his life making sure that there is one less threat out there.

There are jobs out there that carry an implied threat of violence. I’m thinking primarily of teachers, although there have been a number of violent acts carried out against my fellow journalists the last couple of years, as well.

But teachers and journalists, office workers and convenience store clerks, bankers and restaurant

employees – we all go to work expecting to be safe and sound at the end of our shifts.

Law enforcement officers, firefighters and military members do their jobs knowing, at the start of each day’s work, that they may not come home.

That’s an heroic act in and of itself. That doesn’t mean that they are perfect people. We all have our faults. There are serious discussions (and a lot of irrational yelling, too) in America about whether law enforcement agencies are equally protecting everyone. There were stories in the past week of a border patrol agent who is being labeled a serial killer, and a police chief in Oklahoma who hired an officer who was connected to racist organizations.

These are legitimate discussions to have, and asking if our agencies can do better does not mean we don’t support them.

Some are doing very well while others need a lot of improvement.

Over the course of a couple of days, I’ve talked to some people who knew Kunze, and read comments from many others who worked with him or called him a friend, or both.

Deputy Robert Kunze was one of the good guys.

People told me he loved his career, and that he excelled at it.

He was a normal human being doing a job that can require extraordinary effort. On Sunday, doing his job exacted an extraordinary price that will impact his family, his co-workers and his friends for the rest of their lives. We are a community in grief.

So to the good men and women out there protecting us – the ordinary people who may be called upon to become heroes – thank you.

We support you and pray for you. Please be safe. Please come home.

And to the family, friends and co-workers of Deputy Robert Kunze, we are here for you.

Illegal immigration thrives on stolen SSI numbers My youngest daughter was 4 years old when her Social Security number was found in the possession of an illegal alien living in Lincoln, Neb., who’d been detained in connection with a methamphetamine bust.

So I have a unique perspective on the major underground industry which buying and selling stolen SSI numbers has become in the illegal immigrant community. It is an unfortunate component of the death of Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts, whose body was discovered last week in an Iowa cornfield. A 24-year-old illegal immigrant who worked on a nearby dairy farm led investigators to the body and has since been charged with her stabbing and murder.

Indeed it’s the trade in stolen SSI numbers that helps facilitate the illegal immigration challenge that faces the U.S. Just as big a problem is that the Social Security Administration has virtually nothing to gain in helping solve the crime.

An SSI number is the magic key for people not legally authorized to be in the country. With it comes

employment authenticity and a bona fide identity; it’s a guarantee that payroll taxes can be paid and unemployment contributions withheld, and that your employment identity will fade into the woodwork like so many millions of tax paying workers. It is anonymity that illegal immigrants pay dearly to have.

In Mollie Tibbetts’ case, Christhian Rivera apparently falsified his credentials used by the E-Verify system, the Internet-based process that runs an individual’s identity through Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to determine one’s status both nationally and internationally. Rivera’s employer says Rivera passed the E-Verify check.

While the full details are not yet known, it is highly likely Rivera had a stolen SSI number.

The sobering phone call I got at my office that day 11 years ago from a DEA agent based in Omaha was as enlightening as it was terrifying. His first question: Did we have any domestic help working in our house? It’s common, he explained, for house cleaning staff working in people’s homes to gain

access to children’s SSI numbers and sell them to brokers who then resell them to illegals in package deals that set them up in this country.

Hospital staff in children’s wings or doctor’s offices work their opportunities too, he told me, because they have access to those numbers from the minute they’re assigned at birth through any time the child seeks medical treatment thereafter.

They like kids’ numbers, he told me, because they’re less likely to be used much and they’re pretty much inactive until the first time the kid pays taxes from a summer job or has to file a tax return. In our case we believed our daughter’s number had been compromised for at least two years – and at no time did it ever seem strange to anyone who worked at Social Security that a 4-year-old would be paying employment taxes from a construction job in Nebraska.

I have reason to wonder how extensive is their

background check within the E-Verify system if a 4-year-old paying into the system doesn’t raise a red flag with someone.

Now our worries are double. Not only do we have to be concerned that multiple as yet unknown others may have been sold our daughter’s SSI number, but we have to wonder, when filed as a part of her college applications, banking documents or military enlistment papers, will her SSI number be flagged by some leftover error from a drug bust in Lincoln, or who knows what else?

Politics of the Tibbetts murder aside, our country has work to be done in denying this all-important key to those who would steal it and facilitate the broader debacle which illegal immigration has become.

Indians claim volleyball title at Chaparral

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

The Clearwater Indians are this year’s champions of the Chaparral volleyball tournament.

Clearwater went 3-0 in pool play to earn a top seed in bracket play, then got victories over Conway Springs and Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League rival Wellington.

Brynn Noland, Rylie Noland and Lexi Cooper all were named to the all-tournament team.

Clearwater head coach Amanda Sterrett said the win is huge for the Indians

going forward.

“It’s definitely a big confidence boost for us,” she said, noting that Clearwater did not advance out of pool play in 2017. “They weren’t happy with last year’s outcome. They went in pretty determined and calm.”

In the championship, the Indians lost the first set in extra points to Wellington but bounced back for the win. It was Clearwater’s second win in a week over the Crusaders, but the Indians’ hot streak started with a Sept. 11 home loss to Circle.

Clearwater dropped the

first set 25-9 and looked bad in all facets of the game.

“The first set was ugly,” said Sterrett. “Between sets, Kylie Harman said ‘That’s not Clearwater ball.

That’s not what we do.’

They rallied around her.

She’s the power behind our

offense.”

It was a two-set loss, but the Indians pushed Circle to extra points. Then the Indians rebounded from a first-set loss to beat Wellington in three sets.

Clearwater and Wellington have played three times this season, with

two wins for Clearwater.

Sterrett said the rivalry between the teams has grown the past couple years.

The Indians were home again on Tuesday to face Mulvane and Rose Hill.

Next Tuesday, Clearwater goes to Augusta to play the Orioles as well as Winfield.
