A family affair
GARDEN PLAIN – On Nov. 6, four candidates will be competing for three at-large seats on the Garden Plain City Council. Three of the candidates – Paul McPhillips, Sr., Jenny Zoglman and Joe Fisher – are currently-serving council members. The fourth, Alan Youngers, is a challenger. Youngers currently volunteers on the city’s planning commission. A Garden Plain High School graduate, he works as an estimator for a construction company in Wichita. He said he has no particular objection to the city council as currently constituted but simply wants a chance to serve on the governing body. “I just wanted a little more opportunity to have a say in the community and to help Garden Plain grow and help it into the future, as everybody is,” he said. The top three vote-getters will be elected to a two-year term on the city council. Voters can cast votes for up to three candidates.
Clearwater woman charged in theft from PTO By Travis Mounts
The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com
Stephanie Mary Jo King of Clearwater has been arrested on a charge of theft of property or services with a value of $1,500 to $25,000. She was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail on the morning of Tuesday, Oct. 23, and released later that day. According to information from the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s office, King has been charged with a felony count of theft. Her first appearance was on Oct. 23. DA media coordinator Dan Dillon said the prosecution and defense are scheduled to discuss the case on Monday. At that time, a preliminary hearing date will be set. King worked in Clearwater last school year as a paraeducator but was employeed by the Sedgwick County Area Educational Services Interlocal Cooperative No. 618, which provides various educational services to nine south-central Kansas school districts. Minutes from the cooperative’s board show that King was terminated “effective immediately with a two-week paid salary” on Aug. 16. The motion carried 8-0. Clearwater superintendent Paul Becker confirmed to The Times-Sentinel last week that a theft of PTO funds did occur. Becker said the PTO organization is a separate entity from the school district, and that limited the information he could share.

Mother and daughter coach Renwick volleyball teams to State By Travis Mounts
The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com
On Saturday, Gina Clark and her daughter, Kaylie Bergkamp, were unable to be together to support each other at State volleyball. That’s because each was leading a Renwick School District volleyball team at a different State tournament location. Clark was at the 2A State tournament in Hays with the Garden Plain Owls, who won their third State volleyball championship under Clark and their fourth in school history. Meanwhile Bergkamp, Andale’s first-year coach, was leading the Andale Indians to
a third-place finish at the 4A State tournament in Hutchinson. It was the first time since 1984 that an Andale Indians volleyball team advanced to the final four of a State volleyball tournament. There is a certain symmetry to Garden Plain’s State title. In 2008, Clark won her first title for Garden Plain. One of the juniors on her team was her daughter, Kaylie. Ten years later, Claire Clark – Gina’s youngest daughter and Kaylie’s younger sister – was a junior on the Owls’ championship team. “It’s a pretty remarkable experience,” Gina Clark said.
