Two incumbents, one newcomer win in Garden Plain Staff report

The Times-Sentinel

Only one city race was held locally, as Garden Plain residents selected three candidates for the city council.

Garden Plain has two-year terms

for its council members as well as its mayor, and has a vote every year for half of its elected officials.

Four candidates were on the ballot for three seats. Incumbent Joe Fisher and newcomer Alan Youngers led the race with 287 votes each,

while incumbent Jenny L. Zoglman had 275. That left current council member Paul E. McPhillips, Sr., on the outside looking in. McPhillips garnered 65 votes.

Youngers will take his seat on the council in January.

Goddard dignitaries joined with Rodney Steven II and a number of his employees for a Nov. 5 groundbreaking at the planned hotel, waterpark and ball field development in Goddard.

This was the second groundbreaking for the project, which is being funded in part through STAR bonds.

“This day has been a long time coming,” Steven said over the wind

Monday afternoon. “It will be a great thing for the city of Goddard.”

Mayor Jamey Blubaugh echoed Steven’s enthusiasm.

“I’m excited for Rodney and his team to pick it up and make it bigger and better,” he said, referencing an “aggressive timeline.”

“We’re going to work hard and fast to get this completed,” he added.

Addressing the press after the groundbreaking, Steven talked about the growth of the west side of

Cheney American Legion Post 295 will host its annual series of events on Saturday, Nov. 10. The day begins with a 10 a.m. ceremony at the Memorial Wall in Veterans Park on Main Street. The ceremony will include a reading of deceased veterans from Cheney by members of the American Legion, and the playing of taps.

The annual parade will begin at 11:30 a.m. The parade route begins on Main Street at the railroad tracks and proceeds north. The parade turns east on Sixth Avenue and heads west to St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. A luncheon will follow the parade in the St. Paul’s Family Life Center. The speaker will be James Denison, POW/

Donations will be accepted at the luncheon.

Cheney Middle School and Cheney High School will host their annual program at 1:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9, in the CHS gymnasium. The program will feature musical performances by the combined CHS-CMS band, the national anthem performed by the Cheney High pop choir, and a mass vocal performance by student singers. All veterans in attendance will be recognized.

The public is invited to attend.

After the ceremony, there will be a reception for veterans and their guests in the Cheney High School commons.

percent of the vote to easily beat Democrat Clifton Beck. Moore, a moderate, upset John Whitmer in the August primary. Moore and Beck held similar positions on a number of issues. The district covers Cheney and Clearwater and much of southwest Sedgwick County. Joe Seiwert was unchallenged in the 101st, which includes Goddard and Garden Plain.

Republican Ron Estes earned a solid victory over James A. Thompson. Estes narrowly beat Thompson less than two years ago in a special election, but Thompson wasn’t able to muster the same level of support in 2018.

Sharice Davids, a Democrat who is a Native American and gay, unseated Kevin Yoder in the U.S. 3rd District, while Paul Davis failed to give Kansas Democrats a second Congressional seat. Republican Steve Watkins narrowly won that race.

Republican Roger Marshall claimed an easy victory in the 1st District.

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

Kansas went blue for governor, but Republicans won other key state races.

Democrat Laura Kelly, a state senator from Topeka, beat out Republican nominee and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.

Kelly had the support of several Republican figures in Kansas, and it appears a number of registered Republican voters threw their support behind Kelly rather than Kobach, who had narrowly beaten sitting Gov. Jeff Colyer in the GOP primary.

Independent Greg Orman had been polling between 9 and 10 percent, but gained only 6 percent of votes on Tuesday.

Many GOP voters stuck with other Republican candidates, who won the rest of the statewide offices.

As was expected in the 93rd Kansas House District, GOP member J.C. Moore garnered 70

Former water operator enters plea of ‘not guilty’

Family photo captures special moment

The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

CLEARWATER – On Friday, Oct. 26, local photographer Ashley Patton was in a field with the Cotton family – Nick, Crystal and son

Lincoln – for a photo session.

Fortuitously, a young deer wandered into the foreground of one of Patton’s shots. In the resulting photo, the Cottons can be seen shushing Lincoln in order to avoid startling the deer.

The deer in the photo likely has a reduced fear of humans because Crystal Cotton’s cous-

in rescued it – and later released it back into the wild – after its mother was struck by a car.

“The deer kind of followed us around the property while we were doing photos and happened to walk through at that point,” Patton said. “I quietly took that photo, and it just happened to be perfect. It was awesome.”

GARDEN PLAIN – Arthur “Art” Wolfe, Garden Plain’s water system operator until his resignation in April, last week pleaded not guilty to federal charges that he made false statements on reports he submitted to the EPA. After entering his plea Oct. 29, Wolfe was released on a $5,000 unsecured bond. A jury trial date of Dec. 18 was set, with a pretrial status conference set for Dec. 5.

A grand jury indictment released last month accuses Wolfe of making false statements on two “Bacteriological Summary Reports” that he submitted in December 2017 and February 2018. Wolfe claimed to have collected water samples at a total of four sites around Garden Plain, when in fact all the samples came from the Garden Plain city shop, 411 Loomis, the indictment alleges.

Wolfe’s license to operate a water system has already been revoked by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). If convicted, he could face up to five years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000 on each of the two counts.

Garden Plain grad finds opportunity in Marine Corps

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

GARDEN PLAIN – Joining the military was not originally part of the plan for Garden Plain native Tyler Olson, but the past four years of service has definitely helped shape his future.

Olson, a corporal in the Marine Corps, will wrap up his four years of service in January. He plans to use the G.I. Bill to pursue a degree in wildlife ecology and conservation at the University of Florida.

After graduating from Garden Plain High School in 2012, Olson went to Oklahoma State University.

“Initially, I wanted to be an engineering major,” he said.

“I got an internship. It was a lot of desk work. I changed my major after that, and I wanted to work outdoors.”

Olson was responsible for paying for his school, so joining the military was in part a financial decision.

“I started considering my options and the military came up. I started looking at it as more than just a paycheck,” he said.

Looking back over his service, he said it has been a privilege.

“To have an opportunity to be a part of what’s happening around the world, at the age of 22, is a big deal.

I enjoy tremendous liberty being an American citizen.

I wanted to give back,” he said. “You get so much back from the military, it was worth four years.”

After completing boot camp at San Diego, Olson spent three months training as an infantryman at Camp Pendleton and became part of the Infantry Training Batallion.

His permanent duty station has been Twentynine Palms, located in San Bernardino County, Calif.

Olson explained Marines in the infantry train over the course of their service.

“You build your way up,” he said. That starts with 1218 months of training. Your training expands as you go, from squad to platoon, to company, to batallion. Your first deployment typically lasts 6-7 months.

Olson spent six months in Iraq on his first deployment. He was there from April to October 2016. He primarily worked on base security. After rotating back to the United States, he went to advanced school and learned to be a squad leader. A squad leader normally leads 10 to 12 Marines.

He spent January to October 2017 in San Diego before deploying overseas again that October. He spent half his time in Jordan, went to Kuwait for a month and then rejoined his company in Afghanistan. His company was split up to serve in different areas. At one point, the company had personnel in five countries.

“I really enjoyed my time in Jordan. They have good relations with the U.S. We had a lot more interaction with locals,” he said. Many of them were contractors, working in the cafeteria or in maintenance.

“I got to use all the language skills they taught me,” Olson said. He learned Arabic, and while he doesn’t consider himself fluent, he can carry on basic conversations.

Seeing different parts of the world expanded his understanding of other cultures.

“It doesn’t matter what country you’re from, people just want to be successful and do well for themselves and their families,” he said.

At first, the biggest challenge while deployed was being away from everyone, Olson said. People in the infantry tend to be young, and there’s a fair amount of turnover and people serve their time and then move on.

“You don’t know how to read or speak the local language. Road signs are gibberish. That’s when it hits,” he said. After that, he said, the hardest part becomes working with people who may not want to work with you.

Overall, it was a good experience.

“When I came in, I honestly felt like...I lacked discipline. The military is famous for giving people discipline,” he said. “It’s benefitted me with the confidence to put myself in situations with new people and in new places.”

Clearwater resident achieves ‘Top Gun’ dream

By Sam Jack

The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

CLEARWATER – U.S. Air Force Reserve Major Charley McNelley has been part of the Air Force since January 1996, when he enlisted midway through his senior year of high school.

He had been certain he wanted to join the military from an early age. His family has a long tradition of military service, stretching back to the Civil War. “I watched my dad go to work (in the Air Force) and just knew I was going to be military,” he said. “I saw ‘Top Gun’ when I was about 6, and knew I wanted to be a pilot. It was just known that that was what I was going to do. I never wavered, never had any doubt.”

His first job in the military was as a base security policeman, first at bases in Colorado and then at Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyo. He met his wife, Faith McNelley, in 1999. She is now a Chief Master Sergeant stationed at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita.

In those pre-9/11 days, he attended sniper school and trained with the Army as a paratrooper, and learned how to serve as the Air Force equivalent of a federal air marshal.

From February to August 2001, McNelley served a combat support deployment to Kuwait, guarding fighter jets that were being used to enforce a no-fly zone. He got back to the States shortly before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

“The unit that we were in at the time was called a contingency response group, so our only job was to train and be ready to deploy anywhere in the world in 72 hours,” he recalled. “We went down there to Georgia and were like, ‘This is great, just training. I can do college, start getting my degree, apply as a private pilot.’ Then Sept. 11 (attacks) happened in the morning, and they had recalled everybody by 2 p.m.”

From 2 p.m. Sept. 11 until sometime the following day, McNelley and his comrades sat waiting for an order to deploy, surrounded by all of their bags. They read-

ied their desert, jungle and winter gear. “We just didn’t know,” he said.

The rapid shift in service members’ attitudes following 9/11 was extraordinary, McNelley said. “(It went from) kids saying, ‘I only joined for college money, I didn’t join for this,’ to people full up, ready to go to war in 72 hours. It was incredible how everybody jelled together, and we just went. We left on an airplane and didn’t know where we were going. We just started going east.”

Thirteen Air Force security force service members, including McNelley, ended up attached to the Army’s 10th Mountain Division. They were sent to Bagram, Afghanistan, a hotbed in the war against the Taliban.

“We’d have these patrols – walking for hours, looking for somebody to do something so we’d have someone to, A, shoot, or B, call an airstrike on,” he said. “I was a kid; I was 22. I’m 41 now.”

In addition to patrols, McNelley was responsible for physically securing prisoners of war for air transport to military detention facilities outside of Afghanistan.

In 2005, the Air National Guard sent McNelley to pilot training. His career as a pilot since then has included stints piloting both the Lockheed C-130H, a military transport aircraft, and the KC-135R Stratotanker, which is used for mid-air refueling missions.

He has been sent on 10 combat deployments and has logged more than 1,000 hours of combat flying time over the course of 200 combat sorties. He has been awarded five Air Medals and three Aerial Achievement medals.

The C-130H is a versatile tactical airlift platform that can land on rough fields near forward operating bases.

“You really feel good when you fly into a forward operating base, in the middle of the night, on night vision goggles, and you’re delivering these troops to this area,” he said. “I like to hop down from the pilot’s seat and shake each guy’s hand, and say, ‘Thank you for letting me take you here.’”

His time piloting a C-130H also included two combat air drops, flying at night into enemy territory and dropping either paratroopers or supplies to front line forces.

“Basically, the 10th Mountain Division was up there, and they were running out of supplies. It was too dangerous to drive,” he said. “The C-130H flies in, depending on the mission, as low as 300 feet or as high as 14,000.”

Now a senior pilot, he flies the KC-135R and is stationed at McConnell Air Force Base. Where the C-130H is intended for rough-and-ready flying, the Stratotanker requires a precision approach.

“You meet up with fighters and bombers from different NATO nations, and you become the formation lead,” he said. “You make sure they get their gas, and clearance to move on. A lot of times overseas, we’ll just spend 8 to 10 hours out there, refueling everyone. ... I’m two levels up from the Marine on the ground, making sure his air cover gets gas.”

Charley and Faith McNelley make their home in Clearwater. They have four children, Jacob, Emma, Easton and Amelia.

Gregory trains as nuclear operator

By Sam Jack

The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

GODDARD – Goddard High School graduate Stacy Gregory is currently in the final stage of training at the U.S. Navy’s Nuclear Power School. He hopes to be assigned as a nuclear operator on a submarine out of either San Diego or Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

“It is a very mentally-stressful job, with very long, demanding hours, but an extremely vital role in carrying out the missions of the Navy,” Gregory said.

After graduating from Goddard High School in 2011, Gregory spent a year studying at Wichita State University, but found that it wasn’t the right fit.

“I needed time to think about what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to travel to new places and learn new things, and I thought the military would give me those opportunities, and a much-needed sense of discipline and work ethic,” Gregory said.

One of his friends took him to meet a Navy recruiter. At the recruiting office, he took an aptitude test and scored very high. His recruiter asked if he was interested in nuclear power.

“I started to become more and more interested, and after learning more about it, I decided that this was what I wanted to do,” Gregory said.

He took the military’s standardized ASVAB test and got the very high scores he needed to get into the “nuke pipeline.”

He joined the Navy about 14 months ago.

After eight weeks of boot camp in Illinois, he was sent to the Navy Nuclear Power Training Command, in Charleston, S.C., for three more months of “A” school, including math and an introduction to basic machinery and mechanical equipment.

Following “A” school was Nuclear Power School, also in Charleston. That entailed “six months of very fast-paced academic training that covers math, nuclear physics, reactor principles, mechanical/electrical systems, heat transfer, chemistry, and radiological fundamentals,” Gregory said.

Just recently, he completed those six months.

Now he is going on to “Prototype school,” which includes hands-on training on real, moored training submarines. He is looking forward to applying the theory he learned in the classroom.

“My time in the Navy so far has been great,” Gregory said. “I had to get used to waking up early, and studying until late at night, but graduating from these schools and making this progress in my life and my career has been totally worth it.

“It is an honor to serve in the Navy, and is definitely the proudest decision I’ve ever made in my life.”

Military took Don Mace to where his father served

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

CHENEY – When Don Mace joined the United States Air Force in 1952, straight out of high school, he expected he would serve in the Korean War, which had been going on since June 1950. But as he and others trained, the war began drawing to a close, ending in an armistice in July 1953.

“There were two entire wings that did not get to go to Korea,” he said.

Military service played a big role in his family during those years. A brother who was a year older joined the military, but did not go overseas. He became a drill sergeant in the Marine Corps. An older brother served in the Army Air Force during World War II. Mace joined the Air Force at the urging of his father, a

Marine in World War I, and his brother who joined the Marines.

“Dad served in World War I and went to France. His unit was hit by mustard gas, but Dad was among the survivors,” Mace said. While his father survived, he suffer lifelong lung damage from the attack.

After basic training, Mace attended aircraft and engine school. He was then sent to France, where he spent almost three years.

“That area I was sent to was the area my dad served in during WWI. I thought that was pretty neat,” he said.

Mace was able to see some of the trenches where soldiers like his father had been. He brought back three-dimensional stereoscope photos of battlefields and walked in some of those areas. He saw the Maginot Line, the defenses built by France in the 1930s to deter a German invasion, as wells as concrete tank barriers and the concrete pill boxes used by German troops.

While in France, Mace worked on engines.

“I tested and ran all jet engines on our base before they were installed in aircraft. I fixed problems like fumes in the cockpit. I could ‘Red X’ (ground) any of our aircraft.

It was always a popular decision,” he said. However, a decision to ground an aircraft was one made in the interest of preserving troops and aircraft.

“I enjoyed my military time,” he said.

While in Europe, he able to visit some of the WWI and WWII grave sites in France.

“It made me...think about all the young men you never got to come home, never got to marry, never got to finish. It makes you realized how costly our freedom really is,” he said.

Mace nearly lost his life in France in a vehicle crash.

He spent 4-1/2 months recovering in a military hospital in Germany.

After his service, Mace came to Wichita and worked in the aircraft industry, putting his military training to use. He worked as a supervisor at Boeing. Before that, he spent time at Cessna and was at Learjet in its early days.

“We didn’t have a hangar when I went to work at Lear,” he said. He also spent time at Beechcraft. His career also included time building homes, working as a cabinet maker and even selling Kirby vacuums.

Mace was in his mid-40s when he felt called to become a preacher. He spent 25 years preaching, starting with Bible studies held in back yards during the summer.

“We built up to about 20 people. Then we decided we wanted a church,” he said. Ninnescah Valley Baptist Church grew to more than 60 members, and had various homes in downtown Cheney. The sale of their last building on Main Street led Mace to believe it was time to retire at age 80.

Mace has been actively involved with the American Legion in Cheney. He was chaplain for 16 years, although he has since handed off those duties.

Mace will be grand marshal of Saturday’s Veterans Day parade in Cheney. The parade begins at 11:30 a.m.

“I feel honored they selected me,” he said. “It isn’t for me, it’s for all veterans.”

Mace and his wife, Ava, have lived in Cheney for 45 years, and they spent 13 years in Goddard. They have four children, 14 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, with two more great-grandchildren on the way.

‘Urinetown’ to be performed at EHS

By Sam Jack

The Times-Sentinel sjack@tsnews.com

Sam Jack/The Times-Sentinel

The cast of “The Bold, the Young, and the Murdered” poses for a photo on set. The show opens Friday evening.

Cheney High presents soapy murder mystery Staff report

The Times-Sentinel

CHENEY – Cheney High School presents its fall play, “The Bold, the Young, and the Murdered,” 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the high school.

Written by Don Zolidis, “The Bold, the Young, and the Murdered” depicts a long-running soap opera in its final days. The soap’s hunky hero has self-esteem issues, its villainous old man is more interested in soup, and its heroines are slightly psychopathic.

The executive producer gives the squabbling cast an ultimatum: Complete one episode overnight, or the show dies.

When the director ends up murdered and other cast members start dropping like flies, it seems like his threat might come

true. Can these misfits discover the murderer before the show is literally killed off?

“What I love most about this play is that it really pushes the kids’ acting abilities,” director Jera Hoffmann said.

“Many of the students have to play as their character in the soap opera as well as the actor who plays that character. This means most students play two parts in the play, and they have to really work to show the differences in characters.”

The cast includes Mason Albers (Jake Strong/Morris Nyborg), Ashlynn Fairall (Eileen Silverstedt/Amy White), Jalyn Turner (Keri), Will Boone (Valencio Di Carpathio/John Burke), Reagan Pearce (Kaitlyn), Seth Teague (Dr. William Bradley/Tyler Tripodo),

Morgan Sutter (Jessica Silverstedt/Danielle Farris), Emily Ryba (Oli), Hayley Sutter (Mona Jeffries/Cybil Dane), Noble Belmont (Sebastian Strong/Bill Wiley), Reece Keller (Miles), Destinee O’Shea (Sequoiya/Lily Baumgartner), and Ashlyn Riggs (Brooke).

The crew includes student director Haley Shryock, lighting master Kaylie Almendariz, prop masters Cassidy Foley and Kaitlyn Chain, and stage hands Teshara Baber, Taelyr Becker, Emma Bonnet, Kylee Boucher, Mollie Brozek, Samantha Creek, Chloe Grusing, Darienne Lilly, Andrew Morris, Madelyn Olmstead, Morgan Twietmeyer and Mason Woodworth.

Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students.

GODDARD – Eisenhower High School’s performing arts department presents “Urinetown: The Musical,” 7 p.m. Nov. 8-9 and 2 p.m. Nov. 10.

Written by Greg Kotis, with music and additional lyrics by Mark Hollman, “Urinetown” ran on Broadway from September 2001 to January 2004, winning three Tony Awards. It’s a satirical, dark comedy with a witty musical score – and an out-there premise.

“There’s been a massive drought for almost 20 years,” explained Hagan Simmons, who plays Officer Lockstock in the show. “People’s water resources are low, to the point that they have to conserve it.”

One way to conserve the water? Banning in-home toilets and forcing people to “pay to pee” at “public amenities.”

Those who can’t afford to pay... well, they just have to hold it.

“It’s very dramatic,” Simmons said. “A lot of the way it’s presented is funny, but it has a very dark theme to it.”

Eisenhower’s production deploys a multi-level set in order to make the most of the very large ensemble that is presenting the show. “Urinetown” features several high-energy production numbers.

“It’s very fast-paced,” said senior Katie Valcoure, the production’s stage manager. “There are a lot of people, so it can be difficult to find everyone, when everyone needs to get on as soon as they can.

The scene changes have to be very fast.”

Tickets, $8 for adults and $6 for students, will be available at the door.

The ensemble cast includes Hagan Simmons, Holly Leavitt, Evan Bergeron, Caroline Birkhofer, Ethan Thompson, Nathan Mount, Joshua Ferreira, Joslin Lasky, Phillip Railsbach, Courtenay Craig, Ashley Servis, Maddie Palmer, Will Freshour, Brydan Akin, Marcus Lindley, Brayden Scott, Alli O’Neal, Kirsten Tucker, Jayden Winsel, Maci Engle, Taylor Clayton, Matthew Morrissey, Maggie Anderson, Hannah Armstrong, Olivia Barnes, Seth Brooks, Alexis Bush, Journey Butcher, Christina Carter, Rachel Christenson, Ainsley Christofferson, Courtenay Craig, Menolly Crossett, Isabel Deabler, Dax Dendurent, Kat Edwards, Paige Edwards, Alyssa Fry, Faith Fry, Austin Fullerton, Darby Guinn, Lindsay Hall, Kail Kaufman, Lexi Kubin, Faith Lindley, Rebecca Manley, Miranda Marler, Jordan Miller, Andrew Morrison, Halee Murphy, LeAnne Perez, Emily Perkins, Maddie Rink, Israel Root, Ashley Scheer, Akira Schroeder, Emma Shermer, Brayden Scott, Skylar Tuckwood, Katie Wells, Tabatha White and Hanna Woodson.

RIGHT: Chorus members rehearse the show’s opening number. The satirical musical imagines a dystopian future where everyone has to “pay to pee.”

Veterans Day Facts Veterans Day, once known as Armistice Day, was first celebrated on November 11, 1919, the anniversary of the end of World War I. In 1928, the United States Congress passed a resolution for Armistice Day to be an annual observation, and by 1938, the day became a national holiday.

Differing from Memorial Day in May, Armistice Day, which would be renamed Veterans Day in 1954 under President Dwight Eisenhower, pays tribute to veterans who survived various wars. Memorial Day commemorates those veterans who lost their lives.

Disc golf coming to Linear Park

By Nancy D. Borst The Times-Sentinel

GODDARD – With no new business on its agenda, the Goddard City Council quickly worked through two items of unfinished business at its Nov. 5 meeting.

Council members endorsed building a disc golf course in Linear Park, at a cost not to exceed $20,000. The city’s park board had discussed the course in September and urged the city to build an 18hole course. Disc golf is played much like regular golf, except players throw flying discs, such as Frisbees, from a designated tee into metal, chained baskets.

Innova Disc Golf submitted the winning bid of $6,911.43 to install the 18 disc golf baskets and signage.

Calvin OPP Concrete submitted the low bid to install the 5x10-foot concrete tee pads. The city had budgeted an additional $2,000 for contingencies and marketing, bringing the total estimated cost to $14,911.43.

Council members discussed enhancing the course by possibly “stamping” the concrete pads or enhancing the signage. That led to the motion to spend up to $20,000 for the course.

The funds will come from the capital improvement fund/trail equipment line item.

The course will be laid out throughout the city’s Linear Park on both sides of Main Street, with six holes on the east side and 12 holes on the west side.

The hope is that by installing a first-class course, the city then will be able to host professional tournaments. Local disc golf expert Chris Dendurent designed the course.

The council also accepted a bid for a renovation of city hall that will address security concerns and also make better use of existing space for office staff and for the police department.

This project also was discussed previously, in December 2017. The winning bid was submitted by Van Asdale Construction for $138,563. These funds will come from the capital improvement fund, buildings, public buildings.

The meeting concluded with an outdoor demonstration of the city’s new street sweeper.

One killed in 2-car wreck

By Travis Mounts

One person died and two were injured in an early Sunday crash involving two vehicles near Garden Plain. The accident happened in the 28100 block of West MacArthur, between 279th Street West and 295th Street West.

The name of the person who died was not immediately known. Chayan Fox and Dylan Galloway were transported to

Wesley Medical Center.

According to a report from the Sedgwick County Sheriff ’s office, the driver who died was westbound on MacArthur, while a vehicle driven by Fox was eastbound. The vehicles struck head-on.

The westbound vehicle caught fire, and the driver was trapped inside. Investigators are still trying to determine the driver’s identity.

No other details are known at this time.

are looking to spend time in the Wichita area.

“I’m really excited about the water park,” Steven said. “When my kids were young, we had to travel all the way to Kansas City.”

He said the water park will appeal to children and adults, the way Great Wolf Lodge does in Kansas City, Kan. The STAR bond project should see construction before the end of the year,

and the target for completion is late 2019.

The first groundbreaking was held in January 2016 and the project was expected to open before summer 2017.

The project will receive $23 million is sales tax revenue (STAR) bonds.

STAR bonds provide Kansas cities a chance to fund developments, using salex tax revenue to pay off the bonds. The STAR

bond in Goddard covers this development but not development to the east.

The Goddard Galleria is situated between the STAR bond development and Walmart. It includes Murphy’s Oil and the Dairy Queen now under construction. It’s been announced that Braum’s and Old Chicago are coming to Goddard Galleria, too.

At one point, Old Chicago was to be part of the STAR bond development under S&O Investments, but that possibility seemed to disappear when S&O Investments pulled out of the STAR bond.

However, earlier this year Amro Samy – a principal in S&O Investments and an Old Chicago franchisee – announced he was bringing Old Chicago to one of the sites in Goddard Galleria, in front of Walmart. That restaurant is expected to open in late 2019.

Goddard takes down Andover Central

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

The Goddard Lions will hit the road Friday for the first time in the 2018 playoffs as they face the Wellington Crusaders at Sellers Park.

The Lions won their second playoff game of the year last week, downing the Andover Central Jaguars 21-7. The ending was a bit less dramatic than the teams’ regular-season matchup, where the Lions scored first in overtime and won over the Jaguars scored a touchdown but were stopped on a 2-point conversion.

Goddard took a 7-0 lead on the Jaguars on the game’s opening drive.

Kaeden Hoefer gave the Lions good field position on the opening kickoff return, and the Lions put together a six-minute scoring drive.

It looked like the Lions’

drive would stall out at the 40-yard line, but Carter Morrow ran for a first down on a fake punt.

Three plays later, he caught a touchdown pass from Kyler Semrad.

After the teams traded first-quarter punts, the Jaguars were able to tie the game at 7. A solid punt return was aided by a personal foul called on the Lions for a late hit, and the Jaguars scored before the quarter ended.

Head coach Tom Beason said Gentry Cole defended the Jaguars receiver well, tipping the pass. But the fall fell into the receiver’s hands.

“Gentry made a really nice play, it was just back luck,” he said.

The game remained tied at halftime. The beginning of the third quarter belonged to the Lions, however, with scoring on their first two drives. Beason said the Lions made adjustments at halftime that paid off on those drives. Dhimani Butler ran in the first touchdown, the first touchdown of his high school career.

“He played a really good game,” Beason said.

The second score was Semrad’s second touchdown pass of the night, this time caught by Blake

Mitchell.

Outside of the Jaguars’ scoring drive, the Lions’ defense held them in check. Goddard gave up just 82 yards of offense, and that was without KamRon Gonzalez. The senior is sidelined the rest of the year with an injury, but Beason said he still contributed to the win.

“He has stayed with us, he’s at practice every day.

He has not lost his leadership, and I’m really proud of him,” Beason said.

Semrad was 23-for 41 passing for 256 yards.

Hoefer had a team-high 72 yards, and eight different Lions caught passes for

positive yards. Jake Shope had 49 yards, Soren Carr had 28, and Mitchell had 36 on four catches. Ben Bannister led all rushers with 126 yards on 24 carries.

Now the Lions will battle the Crusaders. Both teams are 8-2. Wellington, the No. 2 seed in the 4A West division, has wins over Rose Hill and Buhler. Goddard, seeded No. 3, beat Circle in its playoff opener.

“They’re not a complicated defense but they play very competitively,” Beason said about the Crusaders. He said they run a traditional 4-3 defense, which the Lions don’t see much in the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League’s top two divisions. Wellington is in the AVCTL-Div. IV, and primarily plays teams from the the leagues smaller two divisions.

“They don’t make a lot of mistakes,” Beason said.

Wellington often starts in shotgun formations, builds a lead, and then milks the clock to reduce opponents’ possessions, he said.

The Crusaders have improved dramatically under third-year coach Zane Aguilar, who played a key role in the second of Wellington’s back-to-back titles in 2002. Wellington went 0-9 in 2016 and improved to 5-5 last season.

If Goddard wins, it will be the third consecutive season the Lions will have played in a substate – or semifinal – football game, the first time in school history the Lions have had that level of sustained success.

Kickoff in Wellington is 7 p.m. Friday.

Turnovers turn the tide against Garden Plain

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

The Garden Plain Owls were looking for a quick start in last Friday’s regional football game at Trinity Catholic in Hutchinson, and they got it when Matt Pauly returned the opening kickoff for 80 yards and a 7-0 lead over the Celtics just 12 seconds into the game.

“I was proud of how our kids came out. They played well,” said Garden Plain head football coach Ken Dusenbury.

But that was the end of Garden Plain’s offensive fireworks, as the Celtics beat the Owls 16-7 in a game controlled by both defenses.

As often is the case in playoffs, turnovers decided this game. The Owls were at their own 31-yard line when the Celtics’ Aaron Guerrero picked off a pass and returned it for a touchdown with 36 seconds left in the third quarter. The Celtics completed the 2-point converstion for an 8-7 lead.

Early in the fourth quarter on the Owls ensuing drive, the Celtics defense stepped up again, picking off a long pass across the field.

That gave Trinity the ball at their own 40. The Celtics connected on a 40-yard pass on the first play of the drive to get to the Owls’ 20, and five plays later scored on a 5-yard run to increase their lead

to 16-7 with 8:08 to play.

Garden Plain had two drives after that, but turned the ball over on downs both times on their side of the field.

“The margin of error is pretty small against teams that talented,” Dusenbury said. “I thought defensively our kids played really well against a talented team. Our kicking game was strong. Offensively, we just didn’t execute well enough.”

The Owls’ best offensive scoring chance came late in the first quarter, when the Owls recovered a Trinity fumble at the Trinity 29-yard line. The Owls drove as far as the 18, but a false start call on first down set the drive back, and the Celtics got the ball back and an incompletion on fourth-and-18.

The Owls had a second-quarter drive start at the Trinity 43, but penalties short-circuited that drive.

Statistically, it was a close game, as both teams struggled to move the ball. The Celtics gained 148 yards to 131 for the Owls, and both teams focused on the run. Garden Plain ran for 125 yards while Trinity ran for 104.

Time of possession was close, with Trinity holding a 25:15 to 22:45 edge.

Both teams gained eight first downs; the Celtics were flagged for 60 penalty yards compared to 35 for the Owls.

Garden Plain’s season ends with a 6-4 record.

Travis Mounts/The Times-Sentinel

Garden Plain’s Matt Pauly takes the opening kickoff back for a touchdown during the Owls’ Friday playoff game in Hutchinson against the Trinity Catholic Celtics.

Two of those losses were to Trinity, which now stands 9-1. Another was to Conway Springs, which remains undefeated. The Owls’ other loss was to Chaparral, which went 7-3 with a loss to Trinity and two losses to Conway Springs. Trinity will play this Friday at 8-2 Hoisington, while the other game in the west half of the Class 2A bracket features Conway Springs hosting Phillipsburg in a battle of unbeaten teams.

When the season began, the Owls needed late game heroics to pull out a 1512 victory over Cheney, which struggled through much of the season. But a 31-0 shutout win over

Douglass followed as the Owls started 4-0. Douglass went 7-1 and won its district, but the Owls again thumped Douglass, winning 45-6 to end the Bulldogs’ season. Douglass’ only losses came to Garden Plain.

“This group improved more from the start of the season to the end than any group I’ve had,” Dusenbury said.

Caleb Hitt was the Owls’ top rusher, with 77 yards on 13 carries. The Owls only passed for 6 yards, relying mostly on the run game. Dylan Hahn punted four times for 153 yards, and twice pinned the Celtics inside their own 20-yard line.

Eisenhower named a top high school for performing arts

GODDARD – The National Federation of High Schools has named Eisenhower High School a National Performing Arts School of Excellence commended school.

The NFHS asked the Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) to choose the school with the top performing arts department among Kansas high schools. With a daunting task ahead of them, KSHSAA staff members compiled a list of high schools who met the following requirements over the past three years: • Music programs that consistently scored ‘I’ ratings at state large group festivals; • Drama and forensics programs that performed consistently at the state level, receiving superior ratings; and • A debate program that consistently excelled in competition at the state level.

Eisenhower was one of several high schools where all departments listed were consistently successful. A small committee of drama, debate, forensics and music teachers gathered to judge that group of schools, and they chose Eisenhower as one of 10 commended schools.

“Pursuing excellence in performing arts means we are successfully telling the story,” said drama and forensics teacher Daniele Baxa. “Whether it be through music, speech or acting, we are able to share and experience not only our perspectives but that of others. We have an attitude of compassion, empathy, determination and hard work. As stated by author Ralph Marston, ‘Excellence is not a skill, it’s an attitude.’”

Performing arts teachers at Eisenhower include Baxa, band teacher Marla Weber, orchestra teacher Pamela Lawson, choir teacher Gretchen Bixler and debate teacher Evan Manning.

Eisenhower High School was commended for excellence in its band, orchestra, choir, drama, forensics and debate programs.

K-State to host calving schools in Kingman, McPherson

In anticipation of calving season, the Kansas State University Department of Animal Sciences and Industry and K-State Research and Extension will be hosting a series of calving schools between November and January.

The program will outline the normal calving process as well as tips to handle difficult

calving situations. A.J. Tarpoff, extension beef veterinarian, said the purpose of the event is to increase knowledge and practical skills and increase the number of live calves born.

Experts will also share tips on when and how to intervene to assist the cow and how those times may be different when

dealing with young heifers.

Presenters will also demonstrate proper use of calving equipment on a life-size scale.

“Our goal is for producers to leave better prepared for calving season,” Tarpoff said. “We will discuss timelines on when to examine cows for calving problems, and when to call for help if

things are not going well. It’s an excellent program regardless of experience level.”

He added that several of the meetings will cover such topics as proper bull/heifer selection and EPDs; winter cow nutrition; and injection site management.

The list of meetings include: • Thursday, Dec. 13, morning,

Kingman County Expo Center, Kingman. RSVP to the Kingman County Extension Office.

• Thursday, Dec. 13, evening, McPherson County 4-H Building, 710 W Woodside St. McPherson. RSVP by calling Terra at 620-241-1523.

Eating fast food? You can still make healthy choices

In the rush of daily life, eating at fast food restaurants is often the default choice for getting through the to-do list. And the need to eat on the go may only increase as the hustle and bustle of the holidays approaches.

The concern, says K-State Research and Extension nutrition specialist Sandy Procter, is that many fast food choices can lead to unhealthy eating.

In October, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control released results of a study from 2013 to 2016 concluding that more than one in three adults consume fast food on any given day.

“It’s not the fast food that’s the problem,” Procter said. “It’s the net result of portions that are too big and sometimes contain unhealthy ingredients.”

Convenience is the No. 1 reason why most people choose fast food. The relatively inexpensive cost, the fact that we like it and a lack of alternatives are other top reasons.

“I don’t think we are going to change the fact that many adults on many days of the week take fast food as an option, but I think if we look into it a little more deeply, we can all be better in control of what that means to our health and our diets in general,” Procter said.

She added that one key

to avoiding unhealthy choices at fast food restaurants is to plan ahead. That could mean packing your lunch – or even part of the meal – the night before to avoid rushing out without food in the morning.

“When I say part of a lunch, that really helps,” Procter said. “If you do have to grab some fast food, you don’t have to accept what they offer as sides. You don’t have to get the full meal deal. You can order a small, single sandwich or wrap…and add those foods that you chose to bring along with you.”

Plus, planning ahead saves money and helps control the amount you eat.

“A lot of times, you can get those less expensive sandwiches,” Procter said.

“They may cost less, and the portioning of those is going to be a lot healthier.

There isn’t anything inherently wrong with fast food, but it becomes a problem when the portions are so large and the choices we make contain unhealthy aspects. We can do a lot about those just as wise consumers.”

Procter noted that consumers also can check out nutrition information online for many restaurant chains.

“So even if it’s not posted at the point of sale, you can find out about those choices that you automati-

cally make,” she said, adding that knowing nutrition information could help you cut calories and eat more healthfully.

“It’s about taking control of the way I would like things to be, and finding a way to make it work for me. I think that is part of my job as a responsible consumer.”

Additional tips that Procter provided for avoiding unhealthy choices when eating on-the-go include: • Split meals with a

family member or friend.

Portion sizes are often too large for one, but just right for two.

• Pack snacks or parts of a meal for traveling, especially when flying.

You can supplement with small, healthy choices in the airport.

• Choose water instead of sodas or other high-calorie drinks.

• Consider purchasing

a “Kids Meal,” even if you have to pay a small upcharge.

• Go light on the addons, such as dressing, cheese, macaroni salad, heavy sauces and other toppings.

Renwick looking at $28 million bond project

By Fred Solis The Clarion

Hometown Farm Supply 330 N. Main Cheney 316-542-3193

Located in Goddard

Sports

The Times-Sentinel

The Renwick School District’s bond project is beginning to come into view.

A letter last week to parents and patrons from Superintendent Mindy Bruce spelled out the amount of the bond and its scope.

“We have a unique opportunity in our school district to improve safety and security and other educational needs for our students and staff,” Bruce said in the letter. “This opportunity is to pass a $28 million bond without raising mill levy taxes.”

Over the next couple of weeks, she added, a resolution for a bond project will appear in The Clarion and The Times-Sentinel. She went on to describe the bond process and how the district will proceed.

In the past, school districts could apply for a bond at any time. They could also determine the needs and the scope of a bond project that patrons would vote on.

In 2016, however, the Kansas Legislature enacted as part of its school finance bill a provision to submit bond requests to the State Board of Education by July 1.

The bill also capped the amount of state aid disbursed for school district bond projects at the amount of bond and interest debt retired in the previous year.

According to the Renwick district, the 2018-2019 school bond cap was $358,000,000. Currently, there is

$31,491,000 in remaining funds.

“We are planning to submit our application to the state for $28,000,000 in November to try to capture that bond money,” Bruce said.

Over the past couple of months, the administrators and Renwick School Board have conducted needs assessments with district staff and at two community meetings. Each of the six Renwick schools was represented.

From the process, safety and security of schools emerged as the paramount concern, Bruce said, and safety and security guidelines were established.

Under the guidelines all schools should have: • Secure door locks • Door reinforcements • Updated phone and intercom system • FEMA shelters • Secure office locations • All classrooms under the same roof/ campus • Video cameras • HVAC, electrical and lighting updates Recently, the board interviewed and chose an architect and construction management firm to assist in the planning.

The first step, Bruce said, is to get all of the paperwork to the state for approval to move ahead.

“Once that is accomplished, we will be vigorously planning, having community nights to share ideas and planning for a general election vote in late March or early April,” she said.

I’m pretty selective when it comes to yard work You know me…I’m the guy who hires out most of my yard work at home, and rarely offers to help when it comes to someone else’s yard work.

Unless, of course, it’s one of my kids.

I don’t know what it is about helping our children that makes us break the rules, but I’ll bet that I’m not alone. Just this past weekend, I got myself into a major yard work project with my oldest daughter, Abby.

It all started a few months ago when I was in Columbia, Mo., to visit her and my grandkids. We had had a great weekend, I was loading my truck to head home, and I just happened to mention something about her front yard.

Quite a while back, she had experienced a problem with her sewer line coming loose from the main. The subsequent mess was pretty big, with mounds of dirt piled up to settle into the trench that had to be dug to fix the sewer problem.

So as I headed out from my visit, I surveyed the front yard and suggested that we should get together and level it out, and then reseed some grass.

We had set a date in October to do that, but conflicts pushed our project into the first weekend in November.

Luckily for us, the weather was perfect for our project, and Abby has a cousin right there in Columbia who was willing to loan her an old Troy-Bilt tiller he owns. It was perfect for the job, and was a throw back for me, too.

This old tiller was exactly the same as my dad’s Troy-Bilt that he and I and my brother had used for many years to keep up with the tilling work in my dad’s garden. And when Dad was no longer able to do any of his own tilling, my brother Bruce and I would take turns going up to his place to till while Dad sat and watched from a lawn chair on the edge of the garden.

Those memories came flooding back to me as we fired up the tiller and started working on my

daughter’s front yard.

The old workhorse tiller bucked and kicked as we first started tearing up the rough spots, but soon enough we were easily plowing across the soil as it loosened up.

We did everything right as we went along… we added lime to break up the clay in the soil, raked everything out even, reseeded the bare ground, and then covered everything with straw to protect the grass seed and hold in moisture. There was even enough time to rake leaves, clean gutters and do a few other cleanup projects around my daughter’s yard.

In one awesome day of work, we took my daughter’s front yard from being one of the roughest looking ones in the neighborhood to being one of the better looking ones. She was smiling, I was smiling, and the world seemed like a better place for our efforts.

As the day finished up, we cleaned up the tiller and stored it in her garage for the night. The next morning, we delivered the Troy-Bilt back to her cousin and then went out to a well-deserved brunch.

Back at Abby’s house I loaded up for the trip back home…and this time the comment on her yard was a positive one.

About halfway home, I remembered that I had left some yard tools in my daughter’s garage, and was upset with myself. But then I remembered something important: I don’t do my own yard work.

I’ll get the neighbor boys over this weekend to finish winterizing my yard. And if I remember, I’ll pick up my tools when I go visit the grandkids for Christmas.

World War I Memorial is worth the trip

They’re all gone, and have been for awhile.

The last veteran of World War I has been dead for more than six years.

Florence Green died Feb. 12, 2012. Green was 110 years old. She was a British citizen who was a member of the Women’s Royal Air Force.

The last combat veteran was Claude Choules, who served in the British Royal Navy.

He was 110 when he died May 5, 2011.

The last American who fought in WWI was Frank Buckles. He passed in February 2011, and was 110 years old.

Millions died and deserved to be remembered.

The impact of that war continues to be felt today. One remnant of World War I is Veterans Day, which will be Nov. 11.

Originally known as Armistice Day, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson issued a message on Nov. 11, 1919,

Random Thoughts

Travis Mounts | Managing Editor

one year after the Great War ended: “A year ago today our enemies laid down their arms in accordance with an armistice which rendered them impotent to renew hostilities, and gave to the world an assured opportunity to reconstruct its shattered order and to work out in peace a new and juster set of international relations. The soldiers and people of the European Allies had fought and endured for more than four years to uphold the barrier of civilization against the aggressions of armed force.

We ourselves had been in the conflict something more than a year and a half...

“To us in America the

reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service, and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of nations.”

One of the great treasures of Kansas City and of America is The National WWI Museum and Memorial. My boys and I went several years ago, and it is a powerful and amazing testament to the horror of war and to the effort our soldiers made to bring an end to that terrible time in human history.

In 1919, citizens of the Kansas City area raised more than $2.5 million in just 10 days for a memorial. That would be $34 million in today’s dollars.

The site was dedicated in 1921, with more than 100,000 people on hand. Construction was completed in 1926, and more than 150,000 people

gathered to see President Calvin Coolidge dedicate the project, including the Liberty Memorial Tower, which rises 217 feet above the main courtyard.

The tower itself is worth visiting. It provides an amazing view of Crown Center and all of downtown, and if it’s clear you can see into the southland.

This Veterans Day marks one full century since that war ended.

Many of us go to KC for Chiefs and Royals games, to visit Worlds of Fun and to eat the world’s best barbecue, and to visit family.

The next time you head up Interstate 35, please budget some time to go to the museum.

“The War to End All Wars” has, unfortunately, done no such thing. That means we still need to learn the lessons available to us from that conflict.

The museum is there to help teach us that lesson.

We owe it to the men and women who fought then and have fought since, and to those folks who continue to serve today.

Letters to the Editor Simple acts of kindness can feel overwhelming

This meant the world to me and made me see that there are really great people out there in the world.

I was mowing my front yard by the street and a car pulled in the driveway and this pretty young woman comes over and asks if I’d like some help mowing. I just was overwhelmed with such a warm feeling.

I told her I do have bad days, but this was a good day and I needed the exercise. I thanked her so very much and we introduced ourselves and she got to go on home. This is a very wonderful person.

I hope I didn’t make her feel bad because just looking at her face, I knew she really wanted to help me.

Reader appreciated recent story on runners who stopped

Good job, Times-Sentinel staff! The headline (“Runners stop race to help competitor,” Oct. 25) got my attention and rightly so!

Congratulations, as well, to the Cheney runners Julia and Maddy. The fact that they stopped for a competitor, from another school, and rendered much needed assistance, shows that Coach Simmons had every reason to be extremely proud of his students.

To my estimation, this is the type of news that newspapers need more of – and on the top of the front page, as you did. Technically, kudos also to Sam Jack who wrote the article.

Blessings!

Garden Plain life skill students enjoyed Halloween costumes made by STEM students at the middle school. The middle-schoolers cut, measured and put together the costumes so that the life skills students could take part in last week’s annual Halloween parade in the gymnasium.
