The CRMC Medical Group kicked off its new presence in downtown Independence last Friday with a block party which included free

Senior meal service’s future unknown York seeks more access
as primary entity files bankruptcy
to LeHunt Cemetery;
Southeast Kansas Area Agency
property owner objects
on Aging assumes senior meal
program; level of donation falls
short of need, official says
BY ANDY TAYLOR
chronicle@taylornews.org
The future of a meal program for elderly residents who reside in Montgomery County and
other counties in southeast Kansas remains unknown after the entity that manages the program
declared bankruptcy in March.
The Senior Services of Southeast Kansas,
which provides meals to the elderly, filed its
bankruptcy notice in March. The non-profit
agency’s financial assets and liabilities are now
in the hands of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
Wichita.
While the agency’s bankruptcy is being litigated, the meal service has been assumed by the
Southeast Kansas Area Agency on Aging, also
known as SEK-AAA. Known primarily for disability assessments, employment opportunities
for elderly residents, and health insurance counseling for the elderly, the Chanute-based organization serves nine counties of southeast Kansas,
including Montgomery County.
Today, it is handling meal services for the
elderly. And, the Meals on Wheels program in
Montgomery County is being handled through
transportation services provided by Four County
Mental Health Center until another transportation contractor can be identified.

While SEK-AAA realizes the importance of
providing meals to elderly residents, it also realizes that it is not in the business of feeding older
citizens.
“We realize the importance of feeding our
elderly population, and that remains our goal,”
said Cindy Lane of the SEK-AAA. “However,
we’re trying to find another contractor that can
effectively manage and oversee this service.”
While the names of the two entities — the Senior Services of Southeast Kansas (SSSK) and the
Southeast Kansas Area Agency on Aging (SEKAAA) — are sometimes confused, they have different missions. SSSK has been known for its senior meal service and transportation programs

Cemetery has become
a place of haunted
myths and vandalism,
says property owner
BY ANDY TAYLOR
INDEPENDENCE — A landowner whose property surrounds the LeHunt Cemetery
asked county commissioners on
Monday for restricted access to
the cemetery.
Jerry Piatt of Midwest Minerals told the county commission
that he did not favor commissioner Ryan York’s desire to
see the cemetery opened to the
public. The cemetery, located
north of the former ruins of the
LeHunt Cement Plant northwest of Independence, has been
abandoned and neglected for
years but serves as a point of
intrigue because of the various
urban myths that the cemetery
and the nearby cement plant
are haunted.
Piatt said many persons who
want to visit the cemetery have
no connection to the cemetery.
They simply want to view the
area because of its supernatural intrigue.
“It’s mainly a ghostbusters
thing,” said Piatt. “It’s mostly a
curiosity.”
The cemetery is landlocked
from the nearest county road
and requires access through
a series of gates that are controlled by the Montgomery
County Sheriff’s Department
and Midwest Minerals.
The cemetery terrain itself is
one of the most severe in Montgomery County — with high
grass and brush tangled amid
the few remaining tombstones.
Piatt said he believes vandals
have destroyed and desecrated
much of the cemetery over the
past few decades.
“There’s really not much
there to look at,” he said.
Piatt said he feared cemetery
visitors or trespassers would
find their way to the ruins of
the former cement plant, where
deep crevices, hidden holes
and steep embankments would
make it a dangerous place to
be. The property on which the
former cement plant sets is
owned by Midwest Minerals.
“I don’t mind people who
truly want to visit the cemetery
because they have a loved one
buried there, and we’re more
than glad to take anyone back
there anytime they need to go,”
he said.
However, York said the cemetery, even in its present condition, is a public facility and
should be open to the public. He
said one visitor from Texas recently was denied access to the
cemetery and threatened to sue
Montgomery County unless the
cemetery was made available
to the public.
In other business at Monday’s meeting, commissioners
took under advisement a request from Greg Hennen, director of the Four County Mental
Health Center, to allocate the
2017 liquor funds for the center’s drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Under state

Ernest Lynn Wint
INDEPENDENCE — Ernest Lynn Wint, age
92, of Independence passed away with his family by his side Monday evening, May 23, 2016.
A celebration of life service will be held at
10 a.m., Saturday, May 28, at the Webb and
Rodrick Chapel in Independence with the Rev.
Melanie Adams officiating. Burial will follow at
Mount Hope Cemetery in Independence.
Visitation hours will be held from 9 a.m. to 8
p.m. on Friday, May 27, with the family receiving friends in the evening
from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The family has suggested memorials to the First
United Methodist Church
in Independence. Contributions may also be left at
the Webb and Rodrick Funeral Home.
Ernest was born Aug. 4,
1923, in Independence to
Arthur and Cynthia Wint.
He graduated from Independence High School
and Independence Community College.
Ernest enjoyed music and played the guitar
with his brother, Vernon and friends in a band
called the Stardust Melodeers. They played for
the Amos and Rodrick Funeral Home advertisements on the KGGF radio station. They also
played for area schools and dances, many times
receiving pie and cake for payment. His brothers, Merle and Vernon, preceded him in death.
On May 23, 1948, Ernest was united in marriage to Rosella Ruth Wallace, and the couple
made their home in Independence. Ernest
passed away on the couple’s 68th wedding anniversary.
Ernest began farming with his father. He
was raised on a farm that was settled by his
grandfather, John Miller, in the 1880s. Wint
returned to the family farm during World War
II, expanding the original farm tract. He began terracing, and building ponds and waterways. After their marriage, Ernest and his wife,
Rosella, began a dairy operation with Rosella’s
parents. Ernest erected a special barn for milking, designing the structure with raised stalls
and glass lines that delivered the raw milk into
an adjacent room that held a 400-gallon stainless steel tank. Ernest owned and operated his
own farm and was a dedicated stockman and
diversified farmer for over seventy years. He
raised wheat, corn, soybeans, hogs, chickens
and registered Charolais cattle. He consistently
practiced brush clearing, tree removal, crop
rotation, and no-till farming.
Ernest was a member of the First United
Methodist Church, Farm Bureau, and the
Montgomery County Soil Conservation organization. In 2011, as a landowner who had made
a tremendous impact on conservation practices
throughout the decades, Ernest received the
Ashcraft Award, sponsored by Ashcraft Tire
Company, from the Montgomery County Soil
Conservation district.
Ernest was a dedicated and loving husband,
father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Survivors include his wife, Rosella, of the home;
one son, Dr. Stan Wint and wife, Julie of Gardner, Kan.; and one daughter, Mary Jo Dancer
of Independence. He had three grandsons: Bill
Dancer and wife, Jenn of Little Elm, Texas;
Frank Dancer and wife, Julianna of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and David Dancer and wife, Brittany
of Dallas, Texas. He had five great-grandchildren.
Pallbearers for the service will be Bill Dancer, Frank Dancer, David Dancer, Larry Wint,
Matthew Wint, and Michael Wint. Honorary
pallbearers for the service will be Jim Collins
and Justin Atkins.
Webb and Rodrick Chapel is in charge of arrangements.

Independence woman killed
in vehicle collision on U.S. 169
COFFEYVILLE — An Independence woman
was killed in a two-vehicle collision on U.S. 169
highway near the north entrance to the Coffeyville Industrial Park on Tuesday afternoon.
The Kansas Highway Patrol identifies the
victim as Janice Vineyard, age 67, of Independence.
The patrol’s crash report says Vineyard was
westbound on county road 2800 when she
failed to stop at a stop sign and crossed onto
U.S. 169 highway. A northbound semi tractor
trailer driven by Casey Gordon, age 37, of Tecumseh, Neb., broadsided the Vineyard vehicle
after it failed to make the stop at the intersection. The Vineyard vehicle came to rest in the
median. The semi tractor trailer also continued
to cross the median and into the southbound
lane of U.S. 169 highway before coming to rest
in a ditch on the west side of the highway.
Gordon was not injured in the collision.
Traffic on U.S. 169 highway was detoured
onto adjoining county roads while the carnage
and debris were inspected and removed.
The crash report indicates both drivers were
wearing their seat belts at the time of the collision.
Meal service future remains up in the air
• continued from front page
for the elderly. SSSK also
maintains several meal sites,
including those in Coffeyville
and Independence, as well
as senior citizen hall in Cherryvale.
SEK-AAA, which is not connected to the Senior Services
of Southeast Kansas, has its offices in Chanute, even though
its service territory closely follows that of SSSK.
The greatest challenge confronting SEK-AAA in its delivery of the meal program is the
funding source. Only four of
the nine counties, with Montgomery County being one of
the four, in the SEK-AAA territory provide some sort of monetary stipend in the form of a
dedicated property tax levy.
The remainder of the services’
costs are funded through donations and grants. However,
those cash donations include
the contributions from the
meal recipients themselves.
“Under federal law, we cannot directly charge or assess a
fee to the meal recipients,” she
said. “However, we can suggest a $2 donation that can be
used to defray expenses. The
problem is that we are not getting those donations. It comes
down to the fact that we are
providing a service that does
not have enough revenue to
cover the costs.”
The average donation per
meal has been 65 cents, she
said.
To reduce costs, the meal
program has been reduced
from five days per week to
three days per week. Frozen
meals are prepared for homebound residents on those days
when deliveries are not made,
Lane said.
“We provide three hot
meals and two frozen meals
per week,” she said.
In the month of March,
there were a total of 17,704
meals served to elderly residents in the nine-county region of southeast Kansas. Of
the 17,704 meals that were
served, Montgomery County
had the most (5,054, or 29 per-
cent). Neosho County had the
second most meals at 2,863, or
16 percent.
The majority of the meals
served in Montgomery County are delivered via Meals on
Wheels, according to SEKAAA information.
Bankruptcy records
According to records on
file with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wichita, the Senior Services of Southeast
Kansas lists total assets at
$281,790.92. Total liabilities
are $199,715.26.
Among its list of property
assets are the kitchen, dining
facility, transportation hub
and office at 618 Union in Coffeyville; a dining facility at 710
Chesntnut in Independence;
the Homer Cole Center at 3003
N. Joplin in Pittsburg, a dining
facility at 110 W. Main in Chervale, and a collection of vans,
refrigeration equipment, and
meal packing equipment at 1
West Ash in Chanute.
County hears concerns about cemetery
law, portions of liquor funds
collected in each county are
devoted to drug and alcohol
control services.
In 2015, Four County provided alcohol and drug counseling services to 434 county
residents. The volume of
uncompensated
treatment
to those residents totaled
$60,935, said Hennen.
On a related note, Hennen also requested the county
commission continue to pro-
vide a yearly stipend to defray
the costs of the uncompensated mental health services
it provides to county residents.
Hennen requested funds totaling $161,757, which, if granted, would represent about 2
percent of Four County’s total
revenue sources.
Hennen gave these statistics
to justify the need for a continued county stipend:
• 3,549 Montgomery County
citizens sought mental health
care in 2015.
• 58.41 percent, or 2,073
residents seeking care also
required medical/psychiatric
levels of care
• 18.25 percent, or 648
residents required urgent/crisis intervention supplies
• Montgomery County citizens’ need of subsidized outpatient therapy and psychiatric medical care for calendar
year 2015 was $404,392.
• Additionally, crisis intervention services for uninsured county residents totaled
$265,505.

2016 ELECTION
MG County treasurer
seeks re-election bid
Schodorf files for
state house seat
Nancy Clubine, Montgomery County Treasurer since 2004,
has announced her re-election bid on the Republican ticket. If
elected, she will serve a fourth, four-year term as county treasurer.
Clubine has 35 years of experience with the county treasurer
and auto tag offices. She said she strives to
provide customer service and has an open
door policy. Working well with other county
departments is a high priority, she said.
Since becoming county treasurer in 2004,
Clubine has made improvements to better
service to the citizens of Montgomery County.
One of the changes Clubine is planning to
make is to combine the county treasurer and
auto tag offices into one office.
“I feel by having all my staff in one room,
we will be able to better serve the citizens,”
said Clubine.
Nancy Clubine
Clubine is an agent for the State of Kansas,
Motor Vehicle Division. She is responsible for the auto tag offices
in Independence and Coffeyville. There have been many statemandated changes in the auto tag offices since 2012. Changes
continue to be made by the State of Kansas, she said.
She is a member of the Southeast Kansas County Treasurers
Association, Kansas County Treasurers Association, and the National Association of County Collectors, Treasurers and Financial Officers. She is a certified Kansas County Finance Executive
and is continuing county treasurer certification classes through
Fort Hays State University.
Locally, Clubine is a member of the Xi Epsilon Eta Chapter of
Beta Sigma Phi, Republican Women of Montgomery County, and
lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars 1186 Auxiliary.
The race for the Kansas
House of Representatives, 12th
District, has drawn another
candidate.
Jean Schodorf, a former
state senator from Wichita
now living in Sedan, is seeking the Democrat Party nomination for the 12th District.
Schodorf, lost her senate seat
in the 2012 elections, is seeking to be the representative
for a district that includes the
western one third of Montgomery County (including portions
of Independence; all of Chautauqua County; portions of
Elk County; the eastern half of
Cowley County; and the southeast corner of Butler County.
Schodorf, who serves as
secretary of the Kansas Democratic Party, filed her candidacy papers on Monday.
Republican Doug Blex of Independence is the only other
candidate who has filed in that
state house race.
The 12th District is now
represented by State Rep. Virgil Peck, R-Havana. Peck has
chosen to seek the Republican nomination for the Kansas
Senate, 15th District.
Political party changes before August
primary election due by June 1 deadline
A new law passed in 2014 by the Kansas
Legislature prohibits members of political parties to switch parties during a period beginning
on the candidate filing deadline (noon on June
1) until the date when the results of the August
primary are certified.
Registered voters who are affiliated with a
party may not file paperwork to change their
party affiliations from June 1 through August
this year.
A registered voter who is unaffiliated may,
however, affiliate with a party during this period and when voting at the primary or requesting an advance ballot.

124 years ago by several ladies of the local
Sigourneyan Club. Jump to 2016 and through
the untiring efforts and determination of a
group named Can-Kan Dreambuilders, the current fundraising arm of the Caney City Library,
an open house in Caney’s new library, 211 W.
5th Avenue, will be held this Saturday, May 28.
The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The public is encouraged to stop by, tour the
library and enjoy some punch and cookies, for
the celebration of the new library which houses a myriad of books, CDs, DVDs, magazines,
public computers, research materials, a whimsically decorated children’s area stocked with
youthful books, and a lovely room for crafting,
programs and other events. The library offers
an annual Summer Reading Program for kids
and teens, plus hosts various Crafternoons,
Story Time on Saturdays, Library Movie Club,
Scholastic Book Fairs, and many other activities.
From its beginning more than a century
ago, the library has been housed in several
locations including Thules Bakery, the post of-
fice, Memphills Meat Market, St. John’s Drug
Store and at Selby’s Jewelry Store. In 1977 a
fire destroyed the library when it was located
in downtown Caney and in 1978 the salvaged
books and supplies were moved to what was
the former Wakeland Grocery Store at Ridgeway and Fourth streets. Last month, the library
moved to its new location, 211 W. 5th Avenue.
The new Caney City Library was made possible with monetary donations by the people of
Caney, surrounding areas, families and friends
all over the United States, said Joyce McDaniel,
Can-Kan officer. It has taken a number of years
of fundraising events, donor gifts, and a state
grant to be able to construct the facility.
The operation of the library is funded
through city taxes and is governed by a board
of directors. It is open Mondays, 12 p.m. to 6
p.m.; Tuesdays, 12 p.m. to 7 p.m.; Wednesdays,
12 p.m. to 6 p.m.; Thursdays, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.;
Fridays, 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.; and Saturdays, 8
a.m. to 2 p.m. Chris Bannon is the current library director.
The public is encouraged to attend the open
house this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

— FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION
Every veteran gets the same
respect as Seaman Pearce
It says volumes about the way Americans
view our veterans when a sailor, killed during the opening attack on the U.S.A. in 1941,
is brought home with full military honors — almost 75 years after his death.
Thanks to DNA testing and dental records,
the remains of Navy Seaman 2nd Class Dale
Pearce arrived home on Tuesday with motorcycle, police, civilian and military guard every
mile of the way. He will be laid to rest on Thursday at rural Dennis (see story elsewhere in this
issue for details).
It is so appropriate that this heart-rendering
event is taking place as we are preparing for
Memorial Day.
All men and
women who
wear
the
American military uniform
RUDY TAYLOR
are honored
Off the Cuff
on this special
day, regardless of their
rank, place of service or branch of military. Our
country equally salutes all its veterans, whether they served in armed combat or in a National
Guard or Reserves unit located in a quiet Kansas town.
Family and friends often gather in front
of American flag-draped coffins to say their
farewell respects to these veterans, and it is a
spine-tingling experience for any of us to share
in these tributes. Seaman Pearce’s service on
Thursday will be so special — because it is normal protocol when it comes to the way we treat
our deceased heroes.
As we drive by area cemeteries this week,
there is a constant lump in our throat as we
view the hundreds of tiny American flags, and
Poignant and simple — a U.S. flag, a vase of
flowers and a military insignia adorn a local veteran’s grave.
the American Legion and VFW markers on all
the veterans’ graves.
The tomb of Dale Pearce which will be the
site of much-deserved pomp and honor this
week, will soon become only one in a multitude,
not only in that location but also in cemeteries
that dot our nation and world.
What a wonderful view this gives us of America, where our political priorities at times wane;
where our economy ebbs and flows; where
our discussions often turn divisive. It is within
such a divergent life experience that we stop in
our tracks each time a deceased U.S. Veteran
passes in a procession, headed to a final resting
place in home-state soil.
We graciously salute Seaman 2nd Class Dale
Pearce, and all those who once raised their
right hands and pledged to defend the Constitution and the people of this grand country.
Let’s make it a thoughtful and appreciative

OUR THOUGHTS
s
It’s best to wait
Uncle Sam should wait a little longer before selling arms to Vietnam
Sometimes the words from news headlines fall off the page.
Other times, they just hang in the air,
causing readers to quiver in disgust.
That surely must be the case this week as
American veterans of the Vietnam War read
the headline, “U.S. lifts ban on selling arms
to Vietnam.”
A total of 2,709,918 Americans served in
Vietnam between 1964 and 1973. It is they
who are hanging their heads today, wondering what the hell their country has done to
them.
But, they’ve felt that way before.
Remember, they came home from Vietnam wearing civilian clothes rather than
military uniforms. That was the order they
received, all realizing that the war had hardened many Americans against the very men
and women who had gone into harm’s way
on behalf of us all.
It was they who came home individually,
not to make a big deal of their service to
America. And, sure enough, nobody held parades, waved flags along streets or met them
in packed armories where television crews
might interview them.
No, they were Vietnam vets. And, for the
past 40 to 50 years, they have worn invisible
uniforms, many of them harboring resentment for the way they were treated — mostly
on both coasts where they embarked and returned.
So, now Vietnam is a new frontier for
trade, and the U.S.A. is doing everything
possible to buy textiles, electronics and other
manufactured goods from the Vietnamese.
But the Vietnamese also want guns and
other munitions made in America. And, after
this week, they’ll apparently get them.
U.S. State Department officials say it will
provide some leverage to make the Vietnamese clean up their human rights violations.
Arms manufacturers know the real truth:
it will strengthen their bottom line profits.
So veterans of that war are seeing red.
As well they should.
Yes, there comes a time when enemies
must patch up their past differences. And,
many American veterans have made trips
to Vietnam to offer friendly hands to those
caught in the web of a horrible war.
But weapons of war, or even guns for
personal protection, should remain on the
embargo list. There is a principle here that
needs to be honored — that Americans will
support its veterans, listen to their concerns,
tend to their mental and physical healthcare
and assist with their pensions until they die.
These men and women are between 60
and 80 now, and it’s time for our political
leaders to step back, salute them and give
the arms buyers in Vietnam a cold shoulder.
Over the past 20 years, this nation has
tried its best to welcome home its Vietnam
veterans with overdue gestures. But all the
goodwill in the world won’t amount to a whit
if we start selling arms to the very country
that killed 58,200 of our greatest heroes.
Give it a few more years, Uncle Sam.
Don’t make money on the memories of our
veterans.

PUBLIC FORUM
Pharmaceutical industry in need of overhaul
Editor:
I have a major complaint
and want to bring to the attention of the public of a major scam. I hope Congress can
do something about it. That
can only be done by reaching
their constituency.
Have you noticed a huge
jump in your prescription
drug costs the past two or
three years? I have. Luckily, I
don’t take much in the way of
prescriptions but the one I do
take has jumped off the $4.00
list to a whopping new cost. I
asked my pharmacy about it
and they explained their costs
had jumped too. I saw a segment on the cost of prescription drugs on TV last spring
but since it impacts me very
little I didn’t give it more than
a nod. That was wrong!
On the
sports
beat
MONTGOMERY
COUNTY
Chronicle
That’s where
you’ll find
sports editor
Brian Thomas!
There’s a great story about
this pharmaceutical scam in
this week’s Time Magazine by
Haley Sweetland Edwards and
I really recommend everyone
who is suffering from sticker
shock at the pharmacy get it
and read it.
And what really brought
the problem home to me was
receiving an e-mail from a
dear friend of mine this week.
Here’s what he says. “I
go in for surgery next Friday to have a stint put in my
left leg. I also am having to
change the medication that
is supposed to suppress my
overproduction of white blood
cells. The trouble is the new
medication they are suggesting costs $2,075 a month.
We can’t afford that and are
trying to get the pharmaceutical company to reduce their
cost.”
That’s ridiculous! We recently heard about the price
gouging scam the pharmaceutical company, Valeant
Pharmaceuticals International, pulled. They were the one
highlighted by the TV story
I saw. They would buy up
patents for unique, lifesaving
drugs, hike their prices and
then watch the profits roll in.
That’s immoral! And Valeant
isn’t alone! Other pharmaceutical companies are doing the
same thing. They just aren’t
doing their price jumps all at
once like Valeant did…which
got them caught! The rest did
it gradually! But they still do
it!
One thing that drives this
greed is the advertising they
use to promote the drugs. You
no doubt have noticed that
every other ad on TV and on
nearly every page of every
magazine we buy, is an ad
for some pharmaceutical or
the other. Keep in mind that
these are only available by
doctor’s prescription so why
advertise them to the general
public?
For example: Note that the
drug Humira’s price (whose
patent is held by AbbVie) was
increased by 138% between
2010 and 2016 and although
it’s patent is due to expire in
December, it has 70 additional
patents on it that will keep it
off the generic market until
2022. So what can we consumers do about it. We’re trapped
if we need the medications.
We can write our congressmen and congresswomen
and insist they do something
about it. We can even e-mail
them. That kind of greed is
pushing Capitalism, which
is already greed driven, into
even deeper greed territory. First I encourage readers
to read that article in Time
Magazine so they get their
facts straight and then write
their congressmen and congresswomen.
Something really needs to
be done about this.

OPINIONS
desire of any mother’s heart
The day this edition hits the
press we’ll already be knee
deep in planning the next edition. I’ll be working on the advertising bills that go out at the
end of the month. My husband
will be wrapping up the school
year in his office and the boys
are already started in summer activities that will keep us
hopping every day.
But it’s this day that is especially meaningful because our
oldest son celebrates his birthday.
I’ve always loved a May
birthday. Mine is in June,
which is also a good birthday
month, but May birthdays
always seemed cool to me.
Those kids got to celebrate
their special day at the end of
the school year and usher in
the summer, all at the same
time.
This year we celebrated by
taking a couple of friends to
Tulsa to an arcade and will
meet our family at his favorite
Mexican restaurant another
night this week. But for some
reason this year I get a little
choked up every time I look
at him this week. Something
changed this year and though I
know he’ll always be my baby,
I can also see those arms of
independence stretching more
and more every day.
JENNY
DIVELEY
Pick A Little,
Talk A Little
He ended his grade school
career last week. In that same
time frame his superhero
backpack he has carried for
the past three years split right
at the seam as if it ran out of
steam. His feet seem to split
the edges of his tennis shoes
every time I turn around. And
his humor gets a little bit more
grown up every day. It’s a
strange place to be in this no
man’s land between wanting
him to always be my sweet
baby boy and yet hardly able
to contain the joy of watching
him grow.
I guess it is no different than
those years when we put the
stuffed dinosaur away into
storage, taught him to take his
first steps instead of crawl, or
threw away his last sippy cup.
Of course I don’t want him
having dinner with friends
when he is older and still trying to throw back his drink
through a sippy cup. Yet those
cups almost willed themselves
back into my hands.
We are entering some un-
chartered waters with this
pre-teen stage of boyhood in
our house. Already there have
been some rocky places here
and there. He tests his voice
against mine. He understands
more and is gaining his confidence. And my heart isn’t
sure what to feel.
But
I
can promise
him
this, even
in
the
rockiest
spots
of
life, all he
has to do
is
reach
out
and
my hand The birthday boy
will
be
there. It was when he took his
first steps, when he learned
to walk, then run, and it will
be right there as we navigate
these new paths.
So this week as we move
quickly through the hubbub
of work, sports, plays, packing the house, and looking forward to summer, I may have
to take a moment to find my
little boy and rub his 11-yearold head, just because a mama
needs to know she still has him
close by, no matter how old he
is.

The Diploma Center virtual school and alternative learning center at 218 W. Main in Cherryvale is

Diploma Center moving
to USD 447 Central Office
BY DONNA CELAYA
CHERRYVALE – The Diploma Center virtual school isn’t closing; it’s just moving to new
quarters.
While the USD 447 Board of Education is
looking to make improvements to school facilities in the coming year, it also is focusing its attention on the Cherryvale Diploma Center. Now
located at 218 W. Main, the Diploma Center is
being relocated to the USD 447 Central Office
at 618 E. Fourth. The facility also houses the
superintendent and district staff offices. The
school board meeting chambers moved to the
middle-high school library several months ago,
leaving that room vacant. The former board
room is where the Diploma Center will set up
its shop.
“The main reason for moving the Diploma
Center has to do with the budget cuts handed
down from the state,” said Tonya Smedley, Diploma Center director and assistant principal
at Lincoln-Central. “We’re in the process of
packing everything up now and there are boxes
everywhere, but we will be open through June
as we continue to get ready for the move.”
Smedley said she has heard that some people
have said the Diploma Center is closing. Nothing could be further from the truth, she said.
“We are not closing. We’re just moving. With
my job responsibilities both at the Diploma
Center and at Lincoln-Central, it will actually
be a little more convenient for me to go back
and forth between the two. The space is smaller, but we will make do just fine. Most of the
learning done through the Diploma is virtual,
it’s done online, so this isn’t going to be that
great a change.”
Smedley said the Diploma Center will swap
its table-top computers and towers for laptop
models, which take up less space. Students still
are welcome to come to the Diploma Center,
now and after the move.
“There will be a new entrance for us on the
west side of the administration building, and
they’re putting in another parking lot for us,”
she said.
Smedley said the Diploma Center started in
2003 at McKinley School with just two employees: a director and one instructor, Joyce Long.
“Joyce came out of retirement just a couple
of months after the Diploma Center opened,”
Smedley said. “She’s still with us and still doing a great job.” Concurrent with the move,
Long transitions from a salaried instructor to
an hourly employee, said Smedley, who joined
the Diploma Center in the 2008-09 school year.

Birthday reception to honor Caney’s Dolly Hockett
Dolly Hockett
CANEY — Dolly Hockett of Caney will be
the guest of honor on Sunday, May 29, as
friends and family help celebrate her 90th
birthday.
The come-and-go event will be held in
the Caney Church of the Nazarene, Spring
and Taylor streets, from 2 to 4 p.m.
Dolly said she is blessed to be celebrating her 90th birthday, noting that only
three of her eight children are still living.
She still likes to rattle off the name of
children born to her husband, Turk, and
herself: Gene, Jim, Jerry, Jack, Joyce, Judy,
John and Susie.
“I’ve had my share of losses,” she said,
but she still feels blessed.
“Somebody once told that as long as I
can lift my hands up to my ears, the Lord
will come down to me,” she said.
“I can’t lift them that high anymore —
but he blesses me anyway,”
Dolly retired last year from Good News,
and she previously worked for many years
at Kopco. Prior to that, she and Turk
operated two different service stations in
Caney, and all their children worked there.
Even at 90, Dolly still has a part-time
job taking care of her granddaughter’s
children.
“I’ve worked since I was six-years-old,”
she said. “So, it’s only natural that I keep
on working, even if I have slowed down.”
She makes her home with a son, Jack.
Two daughters, Joyce Anderson and Judy
Bennett, reside nearby.
Her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren invite everyone to drop by
Sunday for the birthday reception.

Caney’s Memorial
BOE examines utility costs Day
Service planned
BY ANDY TAYLOR
CANEY — Behind the school
classroom walls, below the
lockerroom floors and above
the hallway ceilings is an entire utility universe — electrical conduits, water and sewer
pipes, computer cords, and a
maze of natural gas lines that
collectively provide comfort,
information and illumination
to students and teachers.
However, because that utility village is largely tucked
away from human sight, it
often gets overlooked — and
taken for granted.
On Monday, the USD 436
Board of Education peered behind those walls to get a view
of the current state of utilities.
And, what they learned was
that aging school buildings,
combined with multiple generations of equipment and years
of deferred maintenance, will
require a hefty price tag for
repairs.
The board conferred with
Keven Ward, a public sector
consultant with Trane USA, an
energy service provider. Best
known for their heating and
cooling equipment, Trane also
provides local governments
with a thorough energy and
utility analysis so that problems can be corrected, or, in
many cases, replaced with
newer technology at a savings
to the local governments.
Ward provided an assessment of both Lincoln Memorial
Elementary School and Caney
Valley Jr.-Sr. High School.
What Ward concluded was
that the annual utility costs
at Caney Valley Jr.-Sr. High
School were about $80,300
while utility costs at Lincoln
School were about $38,977.
That translates to about 84
cents per square feet at the
jr.-sr. high school and 66 cents
per square feet at the elementary school.
More importantly, it’s more
than $118,000 per year in
keeping the lights illuminated
and the heating and cooling systems operable for both
school buildings, Ward said.
An assessment of existing
equipment, with primary focus
on heating, ventilation, and air
cooling systems, showed that
more than one half of all of
the existing equipment at both
schools had exceeded their
use expectancy. There are 91
different pieces of equipment
related to the HVAC systems
in both buildings. Of those 91
pieces of equipment, 48 had
exceeded their life expectancy,
Ward said, with some of the
oldest equipment dating back
to 1981.
“What that means is you
have equipment that has been
prolonged to the point that it
needs replaced,” he said.
Lincoln School was built in
1954 but underwent two major renovations: one in 1981
(after fire destroyed the school
gymnasium and library in
1980), and the other in 2000.
Several pieces of the utility system date back to 1981,
meaning they have been in usage for 35-plus years. That’s
anywhere from eight to 10
years longer than the expected
usage of that equipment, Ward
said.
At Caney Valley Jr.-Sr. High
School, which was built in
1973, multiple generations of
HVAC systems dot the school’s
roof top. This includes systems
that date back to two expansions: one in 1980 and the

Next school year to be
on a five-day week
CANEY — The 2016-17 school year in USD 436 will contain the traditional five-day school week, the USD 436 Board
of Education voted on Monday.
At a special board meeting, the board unanimously approved next year’s school calendar, which conforms to the
state-mandated 174 days (or 1,218 hours) of teacher-student contact.
The school year will officially begin on Thursday, Aug. 18
and conclude on Friday, May 26, 2017. Senior graduation
will be held on Saturday, May 20, 2017.
To those students who are already planning their Christmas vacation, the winter break will officially begin after the
noon hour on Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2016. Students will return to school on Tuesday, Jan. 4, 2017.
The 2017 spring break will be held Friday, March 10
through Friday, March 17. Students will return to classes on
Monday, March 20.
other in 1991, plus multiple
upgrades ever since.
To make the needed repairs, which also includes
making light and electrical
systems more energy efficient
and making repairs to plumbing systems to improve water
efficiency, could require anywhere from $2.7 million to
$3.4 million, Ward said. That
would translate to payments
of about $235,000 to $285,000
per year on a multiple-year
lease-purchase agreement.
However, Ward emphasized
that the district could expect
energy savings ranging from
$17,000 to $28,000 in the first
year alone of a multiple-year
improvement plan.
Not only could USD 436
save money with improved efficiencies in its utilities but the
district will finally deal with
those utility issues that have
been deferred or delayed for
years, Ward said.
Should the USD 436 Board
of Education consider using
Trane to guide the district
on an electrical performance
plan, then the first repairs
would begin in the summer of
2017, Ward said.
Trane has provided energy
performance services to multiple school districts across Kansas with each district showing
reduced monthly utility costs
and increased savings, Ward
said. Among the districts that
have used Trane’s utility efficiency services and guidance include Parsons, Palco,
Tonganoxie, Concordia, South
Haven, Halstead, Rock Creek,
oxford, Plainville and Southeast-Saline.
The school board took no
action on Ward’s presentation but indicated they would
revisit the issue — as well as
the Trane USA proposal — at
a later date.

Remains of area sailor killed at Pearl Harbor return home
BY ANDY TAYLOR
DENNIS — It has been more
than 74 years since Dennis native Dale Pearce lost his life
as a sailor aboard the U.S.S.
Oklahoma on one of history’s
most infamous days.
This week, that journey will
come to a final conclusion as
Seaman Second Class Dale
Pearce’s remains are interred
in his hometown’s cemetery.
Pearce died aboard the
U.S.S. Oklahoma when the
Japanese military opened its
fiery salvo in Pearl Harbor in
what was then a quiet Sunday
morning on Dec. 7, 1941. His
body — and those of hundreds
of his ship mates — have been
buried in a mass grave in a national cemetery in Honolulu,
Hawaii, since the late 1940s.
However, in the past year,
the U.S. military has made efforts to positively identify those
remains and prepare them for
proper burial with full military
honors.
When forensics evidence
by U.S. Department of Defense specialists gave a positive identification to Pearce’s
remains in January, the process began to return the Dennis sailor to his hometown. On
Tuesday, the flag-draped coffin carrying Pearce’s remains
made the trek from Honolulu
to Tulsa International Airport, where family members
accepted the body and made
the somber processional to a
funeral home in Parsons. All
activity at the Tulsa airport
was stopped while the coffin was unloaded from the
airplane and led to a waiting
hearse. Hundreds of airport
guests crowded around the
large windows at the terminal
to watch the somber arrival of
Pearce’s remains.
The hearse carrying the coffin was led by a delegation of
Patriot Guard motorcycle riders as well as representatives
with the Oklahoma Highway
Patrol, which afforded the deceased sailor the honors that
befall any active duty military
personnel who dies in action.
“It doesn’t matter where
they die or how long ago they
die, any active duty U.S. service personnel who dies in action is afforded full honors,”
said Justin Brown, a funeral
director with Carson-Wall Funeral Home in Parsons, which
is handling Pearce’s burial arrangements.
A formal exchange ceremony between the Oklahoma
Highway Patrol and Kansas
Highway Patrol took place in
South Coffeyville, where dozens of people lined U.S. 169
highway and made its slow

on Dec. 7, 1941. Pearce’s nephew, Ralph Pearce of Dennis, watches as the casket moves down the conveyor from a American Airlines
flight at Tulsa International Airport Tuesday morning and is eventually carried to the hearse. (Photo by Ray Nolting/Parsons Sun)
trek through Coffeyville. Kids
and adults carrying banners
and U.S. flags stood silently
as the cortege wound through
Coffeyville, where the sound of
the Patriot Guard motorcycles
could be heard blocks away.
At the last minute, the funeral processional was detoured on K-101 highway
through Edna due to a fatality wreck on U.S. 169 highway. The funeral procession
reached its destination in Parsons shortly after 3 p.m.”
On Thursday, May 26, a funeral will be held at the Faith
United Methodist Church in
Parsons. A funeral cortege
will leave the church around
3 p.m. and travel to the Pleasant Hill Cemetery southeast
of Dennis where Pearce will
be be laid to rest in an area
surrounded by other family members. It’s anticipated
that the full military honors
will include a rifle company,
the playing of “Taps,” and the
presentation of the coffin flag
to a designated member of the
Pearce family.
Pearce’s funeral and burial
on Thursday will fall on his
96th birthday.
Mass burial in Hawaii

uniform shortly before his death aboard the U.S.S. Oklahoma in
Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.
Even though Pearce died
in Pearl Harbor, he was never
afforded a proper military funeral. That’s because the removal of the remains of USS
Oklahoma servicemen from
the bottom of Pearl Harbor
was an exhausting effort, lasting well past the war’s end in
1945.
When the U.S.S. Oklahoma
was finally righted in 1943, the
remains of hundreds of sailors were reduced to skeletal

forms, drenched in the oil and
fuel that filled the hulls of the
ship.
Efforts were made to retrieve the remains. However,
the carnage and debris of the
sunken ship was so vast that
the U.S. Department of Defense finally in 1949 had to
declare the remains as “nonrecoverable.” Whatever remains were found were intermingled with the ship’s debris.
The remains were placed in 61
coffins and buried in a national cemetery in Honolulu.
Back home in Dennis, members of the Pearce family had
to come to grips with Pearce’s
death. Even though he did
not have a funeral, the family would place a tombstone at
Pleasant Hill Cemetery. “Lost
At Pearl Harbor” was the inscription on Dale Pearce’s
granite marker.
An edition of Stars and
Stripes recently chronicled
what happened to the U.S.S.
Oklahoma crew that died in
action. The newspaper wrote:
During the Dec. 7, 1941
Pearl Harbor attack, which
plunged the U.S. into World
War II, many Oklahoma sailors jumped overboard as the
battleship rolled over in about
50 feet of water.
But hundreds were trapped
below decks.
Thirty-two were rescued
by intrepid crews who heard
them banging for help, cut
into the hull and made their
way through a maze of darkened, flooded compartments to
reach them.
Others managed to escape
by swimming underwater
to find their way out. Some
trapped sailors tried to stem
the in-rushing water with rags
and even the board from a
board game. One distraught
man tried to drown himself.
In the months, and years
after the attack, the handling
of the crew’s remains was
plagued by error, confusion
and poor record keeping.
Most of the dead were found
in the wreckage during the
months-long salvage operation, especially after the Oklahoma was righted in 1943,
according to a memo by DPAA
historian Heather Harris.
By then, the bodies had
been reduced to skeletons.
By 1944, the jumbled skeletons, saturated with fuel oil
from the ship, had been buried
as unknowns in two Hawaiian
cemeteries.
Three years later, they were
dug up and taken to a military
laboratory near Pearl Harbor
for attempted identification.
The chief tool then also was
the comparison of the dental
records with the teeth of the
deceased. And 27 tentative
identifications were made, but
they were rejected as incomplete by the authorities.
In 1949, all the remains
were formally declared unidentifiable. And by 1950, they
had been reburied in the National Memorial Cemetery of
the Pacific, often called the
Punchbowl, in Honolulu.
There they rested until last
year.
In April 2015, the U.S.
Department of Defense announced it would use DNA and
forensics testing to exhume
the remains of the U.S.S. Oklahoma at th National Cemetery
in Honolulu and began an effort to positively identify them.
Forensics test kits were provided to family members as a
way to signal a positive trace
of DNA between the sailors
and their remaining kinfolk in
the United States.
There were 388 sailors
killed on the U.S.S. Oklahoma
when it was hit with a barrage of torpedos the Japanese
airplanes on Dec. 7, 1941. So
fierce were the torpedo hits
that the U.S.S. Oklahoma took
that the massive ship capsized in less than 15 minutes
— making it one of the first of
a row of U.S. Navy battleships
to be damaged or destroyed by
the waves of Japanese attacks.

Caney Garden Club features
Kathy and Rudy Taylor’s yard
CANEY — The Caney Garden Club has selected the home of
Kathy and Rudy Taylor for its Yard of the Month Award.
The Taylors’ home, at the corner of 2nd and Bradley, is located on a grassy lot that comprises a half block. They can be
seen every weekend, mowing, trimming, watering and caring
for all the vegetation that surrounds their home.
Kathy has always been a lover of flowers, taking her cues
from memories made while growing up in a beautiful home in
the south part of Caney.
Her mother, Ethel George, taught her the names of flowers,
and she gives Rudy yearly lessons on flower varieties. “We love
working in our yard, and doing different things with our flower
gardens,” Kathy said.
Rudy adds, “It’s our hobby, and it gives us lots of happiness to
see springtime blossom into summer, then change into a colorful
autumn.”
Just for fun, Kathy and Rudy counted their plants last weekend and came up with the following tally:
Counting everything, there are 419 plants occupying space in
the Taylors’ yard and flower beds.
There are 11 mature trees, 10 red-tipped photinia, 11 crepe
myrtle, 12 various species of roses, 8 spirea, 8 holly bushes,
1 yew, 18 nandina, 14 hostas and a sprawling Rose of Sharon
bush.
There are 59 various perennials and 246 various annuals in
their seven gardens. Kathy utilizes all types of hanging baskets
and pots to accentuate their porches, even placing baskets on
their privacy fence and beneath a barn window.
With the exception of a few trees, they have dug or poked
every hole for these plants.
Kathy and Rudy believe that all of us owe it to our communities to practice a certain amount of neatness and pride. That’s
where they start, then they add their love for the colors of nature and plenty of back-breaking work to make it all worthwhile
— and attractive.
“We don’t do it to show off,” Kathy said. “But if our friends
and neighbors get some pleasure from seeing our little corner of
Caney, then that’s really a bonus for everyone — us and them.”
The Caney Garden Club will select its Yard of the Month for
June in the next few weeks.

A walk through the cemetery reveals interesting history
Notable burials at Mount Hope Cemetery
include an Academy Award and Pulitzer Prize
winner, Congressional Medal of Freedom
recipient, pioneer doctor, and the creator of
the modern conservative political movement
BY ANDY TAYLOR
INDEPENDENCE — The
2016 Memorial Day will have
special meaning across the
United States as it falls on the
150th anniversary of the first
national observance of the
holiday, which was initially
known as Decoration Day.
The first holiday in 1866
was held to commemorate the
fallen of both sides of the Civil
War, which ended the previous year.
For George Glines of Independence, the decoration
of loved one’s gravesites not
only is a reminder of their
pasts but also a continuing
reminder of their history.
Glines has done his share of
walking the lanes at Mount
Hope Cemetery to identify the
final resting places of noted
residents.
And, it might amaze area
citizens to know that Mount
Hope serves as the final resting place for a Civil War Congressional Medial Of Honor
recipient, a black physician
whose treatment of a pioneer
family become part of the
lore of the American West,
a NASA rocket scientist who
was awarded the Congressional Medal of Freedom, a
winner of both an Academy
Award and a Pulitzer Price,
and the father of the modern
conservative movement whose
beliefs were often read in a
national political magazine.
Glines has found these
interesting facts about Mount
Hope Cemetery’s noted burials and markers:
• The Veterans Memorial
display contains 61 white
crosses to signify those local
men who died in World War II
and the Korean Conflict.
“You will find some familiar Independence names
there, including Hille, Wuedermann, Rumfelt, Wiggins,
Springer and others,” he said.
“Take a few minutes to read
the names on all of the 61
crosses, and then contemplate
what each of them scarified to
maintain our cherished freedoms and traditions. Never
will it be more apparent that
freedom is never free.”
• George Banks, the Civil
War Medal of Honor recipient, is buried at Mount Hope
Cemetery. He was awarded
the Medal of Honor for valor
during his actions at Missionary Ridge, Tenn. He was a
first sergeant for Company C
of the 15th Regiment of the
Indiana Infantry when his unit
was involved in a pivotal Civil
War battle in November 1863.
Banks is buried about 50
yards from the south entrance
gate, between the two Mausoleums, and about 40 yards to
the west. His grave is adorned
with both the American Flag
and the special blue Medal of
Honor flag. His gravesite is
maintained by local veterans.
• William Inge, winner of
both the Pulitzer Price for
“Picnic” and an Academy
Award for Best Screen Play
for “Splendor In The Grass,”
is buried in the Inge family
plot about 60 yards from the
south entrance and about 30
yards to the east. The gray
Inge family stone is just visible from the asphalt drive.
His modest stone merely
states his name, dates of birth
and death, and the simple
inscription, “Playwright.”
• Dr. George A. Tann is
buried alongside the western
asphalt drive, directly across
from Pizza Hut on North
Penn Avenue. His grave is
marked prominently with a
sign explaining his notoriety
in saving members of the
Charles Ingalls family from
malaria during their brief stay
in Kansas in the late 1860s.
That compassion and medical treatment became part of
the lore of the pioneer days
as depicted in Laura Ingalls
Wilder’s “Little House On The
Prairie” novel.
• Alan C.E. Glines, who was
George Glines’ brother, was
a NASA flight director and
holder of the Congressoinal
Medal of Freedom for the
recovery of the ill-fated Apollo
13 lunar mission in 1970. He
is buried 20 yards east of the
north-south asphalt drive on
a direct line from Mulberry
Street and the Social Security
Administration office. His
tombstone is inscribed with
his likeness and various NASA
designations, including Apollo
11, Apollo 13, space shuttle
flights, plus the Congressional
Medal of Freedom. The medal
is on loan by the family to
the Kansas Cosmosphere in
Hutchinson, Kan.
• William Rusher, who joins
the more famous William
F. Buckley, as the founders
of the modern conservative
political movement, is buried
in Mount Hope Cemetery.
The longtime publisher of
the National Review magazine, which is still published
today, is buried near various
relatives and cousins from
Independence. His gravesite is
located in the Self family plot,
which is best found in a direct
line due east of the Coldwell
Banker Pasternak Johnson
office. His tombstone is a few
steps east of the prominent
U.S. flag pole.
“Mount Hope Cemetery is
filled with a lot of history and
is worth investigating, and
not just on Memorial Day,” he
said. “It’s enlightening and
worthwhile to note the names
and dates on their tombstones, some with names you
might recognize, numerous
graves of Civil War veterans,
with their wartime designations, who helped build Kansas after 1865.”
Glines, an Army veteran,
has visited national cemeteries across the nation and also
toured the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial
in France.
More information and
photographs of some of the
famous buried at Mount hope
can be found by typing their
names into a Google search
engine.

USD 436 salutes retiring faculty, presents service awards
CANEY — Four USD 436
retiring educators with a
combined 113 years of experience in education were
recognized by their peers and
the USD 436 Board of Education during an appreciation
banquet on May 18.
The retiring personnel
were recognized and saluted.
They include (and their individual years of service to USD

CANEY — The Caney Valley Historical
Society’s 4th Annual Meet and Greet event
will be held Friday, May 27, from 5 to 7
p.m. at the Sandstone Building, 4th and
State streets, downtown Caney.
The meet and greet is a time for those
in Caney for class reunions held during
the Mayfest-Memorial Day weekend, or local residents to have a place to gather and
enjoy a light meal and spend time visiting.
Home N Sight is different than a nursing home or hospital. Gloria
Noblitt knows that first hand. She has spent the last several weeks at
Home N Sight recovering from a broken leg.
Gloria and her husband, Bruce, had never heard of Home N
Sight until a friend recommended it. They were searching for an
alternative rehabilitation provider that was less institutional and
more personal. That’s exactly what they found at Home N Sight.
So what makes Home N Sight the ideal place to recover from
illness, injury or surgery? There are lots of features/services that are
unique to Home N Sight, but here are just a few that Gloria wanted
to let you know about.
• Patient rooms are private and more spacious.
• The staff is small and consistent which makes it easier for them
to get to know each patient’s needs and preferences.
• The therapy department is on-site making it convenient to
complete daily therapy sessions as prescribed by your doctor.
• Meals are prepared to order at your chosen mealtime. You can
choose the special of the day or make a selection from the
menu.
A personal tour is the best way to experience all Home N Sight has
to offer its patients. If you would like to come for a visit, please call
us at (620) 252-4929.
A $7 donation for the light supper would
be appreciated from those attending.
Organizers are hoping for a large turnout to enjoy an atmosphere of leisure visiting and reminiscing.

service to USD 436.
Numerous other educators were recognized at the
banquet for attaining service
milestones during the 2015-16
school year. They include:
• 40 years: Jeannette
Bellmyer, accounts payable.
• 35 years: Darl Buck, grade
school teacher.
• 30 years: Criss Davis, high
school teacher, athletic director,
and coach.
• 20 years: Terrie Welson,
high school teacher; Paula Rodgers, high school teacher; Kristi
“I broke my leg in April and had to have surgery. I
had to be non-weight bearing for several weeks. That
made it difficult for Bruce to take care of me at home.
A friend from church told us about Home N Sight.
That turned out to be a very good recommendation.
We don’t drive, so the transportation Windsor Place
provides to doctor’s appointments is very helpful.
Home N Sight has been a very good experience. The
food is good and the people are very nice. I will continue to have help from Windsor Place At-Home Care
once I return home.”

HIGHLY-DECORATED CANEY VALLEY SENIOR IS CLASS 3A STATE GOLF CHAMPION
State title punctuates Watson’s career
Younger brother Trevor Watson finishes in
top 10; Caney Valley
ends class 3A state
meet in 7th place
BY BRIAN THOMAS
sports@taylornews.org
SALINA — One year after
finishing as the runner-up,
Caney Valley High School senior Troy Watson had one
mission on his mind … a state
championship.
Much like the rest of his
season, Watson controlled
things Monday at Salina Municipal Golf Course, finishing
two strokes ahead of Ira Kullot
of Syracuse to claim the Class
3A boys’ golf championship.
“Troy spent so much time
and so many hours working
to be a tremendous golf talent with a goal of being a state
champion,” said CVHS coach
Tom Nelson. “It is so satisfying to see a young man work
hard, set goals and achieve
them. I couldn’t be more happy or proud of Troy. He is a
great golfer and a great person. I was very proud of Troy
and was fortunate to be a part
of his journey as a coach. It
was a tremendous four-year
ride that ended the best way
possible. His name is forever
stamped as a state champion.
What an honor for a quality
young man.”
Watson became just the second individual state champion
in the history of Caney Valley
boys’ golf. The only other time
the Bullpups had an individual
champion came in 1962 when
Mike Scimeca captured the
Sand Greens title. He is also
the first individual champion
in the Tri-Valley League since
Jake Morrison of Yates Center won the 2011 Sand Greens
crown.
It was a long day for golfers at the state tournament as
play was delayed nearly 2 1/2
hours due to heavy rains and
strong winds. Yet during the
final tournament of his high
school career, Watson started
state action strong.
The senior had back-toback birdies on holes 7 and
8 and went through the front
nine at even par with a 34. He
remained at even par through
14 holes, which allowed him
to open up a comfortable lead.

Fredonia’s team title was
the first boys’ golf championship by a TVL school since
Yates Center won the Sand

all, current members of the
league have now accounted
for 14 state championships in
the sport, including four from
Caney Valley (1961-63, 1983),
three from Humboldt (1976,
1979, 2002), three from Erie

OPENING-ROUND STATE TOURNAMENT IS TONIGHT AGAINST WELLINGTON
IHS Bulldogs advance to state tournament
BY BRIAN THOMAS
ALTAMONT — Building an
eight-run lead in the fifth inning, it was just a matter of
time before the Independence
High School softball team was
going to end 15 years of frustration. And when the Lady
Bulldogs capped off an 11-6
victory over Chanute in the
championship game of the
Class 4A-Division I Altamont
Regional last Wednesday, they
had punched their ticket to
state for the first time since
2001.
“We talk about one game at
a time,” said IHS coach Dale
Reynolds, whose squad had
defeated Montgomery County
rival Field Kindley 8-1 in the
semifinal earlier that day.
“They really wanted to get to
state, but we had to focus on
Coffeyville first and then Chanute after that. This group of
kids pushes each other. It took
the entire team to get through
and fight their way to state.”
Independence earned its
fourth straight victory to improve to 17-5 overall. The
Lady Bulldogs advanced to the
Class 4A-Division I State Tournament, which was scheduled
to begin today at the Bill Burke
Complex in Salina. IHS had a
first-round matchup against
Wellington (17-5) set for 7
p.m. A full preview of the Lady
Bulldogs’ state softball trip appears elsewhere in this edition.
The Lady Bulldogs trailed
early on at 1-0 following a
Chanute home run in the second inning. But IHS responded with a pair in the bottom
half of the inning on Morgan
Mavers’ home run. The team
opened things up with a fourrun third for a 6-1 edge.
Although the Comets (1111) got a run back in the fifth,
Independence put the game
out of reach with a four-run
bottom half of the inning. That
gave the Lady Bulldogs plenty of cushion at 10-2, which
came in handy after Chanute’s
power came through against
with a grand slam in the sixth.
IHS recovered from that
with another insurance run
in the bottom of the sixth and
then finished things off to
clinch the regional championship — the seventh in program
history.
“It was back and forth in the
first part,” said Reynolds, who
got a celebratory dousing by
his team following the victory.
“They hit a home run to go in
the lead, and then we hit a
home run ourselves. We were
able to widen the margin out.
We gave up a grand slam, but
it didn’t really affect us. We
were still confident and were
able to close the door there in
the seventh inning.”
Independence had an 11-7
advantage in total hits for the
game. Aubree Lawrie was
3-for-3 at the plate to lead the
way, while Hannah Burnett
added a pair of hits.
Mavers went the distance
in the circle for IHS, picking up the win after allowing
six earned runs on seven hits
while striking out three.

Lady Bulldogs drop to second
place in the final Southeast
Kansas League standings.
IHS is back on an upswing
at just the right point of the
season. By clinching the
regional championship last
week, the Lady Bulldogs are
set to compete at state for the
first time in 15 years.
Independence — the No.
5 seed in the bracket — will
take on No. 4 seed Wellington
(17-5) in a quarterfinal contest of the Class 4A-Division
I State Softball Tournament.
The game is set for 7 p.m.
Thursday on Field A of the
Bill Burke Complex in Salina.
“You don’t like to lose,”
said IHS coach Dale Reynolds,
whose squad will make its
first state appearance since
2001. “We lost to good teams
during that stretch. We lost
to a Riverton team that made
the state tournament in 3A.
Pittsburg improved as the
season went along and played
well against us here. We go
to Fort Scott and play them
two close games there. We
were still playing well at the
end of our losing streak, and
we finally got back on track
against Parsons. We were
on a mission from that point
on, and the girls took care of
business.”
IHS heads into the state
tournament a winner of four
straight games. Not only did it
close out the regular season with an SEK sweep over
Parsons, but it also won both
of its games at the regional
tournament in Altamont last
week — beating Montgomery
County rival Field Kindley 8-1
in the semifinals and Chanute
11-6 in the championship.

Indy, ’Nado tracksters bound for state
BY BRIAN THOMAS
WINFIELD — Field Kindley
High School’s Kamaren Wilson qualified for state in three
events to lead area athletes in
the Class 4A Regional Track
Meet last Thursday at Southwestern College.
Wilson took third place in
all three of those events, including the 110-meter hurdles
in 15.09 seconds, the 300-meter hurdles in 41.45 seconds
and the long jump with a leap
of 21-7 1/2.
“Kamaren had a great
meet,” said FKHS coach Jeremy Neuenschwander. “I only
let him jump twice in the long
jump. He finished third at regionals but has the third best
jump in state overall. At state,
he will take all six jumps. I am
pretty sure he has a 22-foot
plus jump in him and will contend for a gold medal.”
Wilson accounted for all
three of the Golden Tornado’s
state-qualifying performances
at regionals. Meanwhile, Independence was able to qualify for state in four different
events.
Independence qualified in
two different relays. The girls’
4 x 100 team of Nichole Moses, Kylie Wilson-Stover, Tyana
Carter and Graci Carr won the
regional championship with a
first-place time of 50.26 seconds. The girls’ 4 x 400 relay
team, which included the same
crew, came in fourth place at
4:15.86.
Individually, the Bulldogs
were led by Zach Shaffer and
Graci Carr in the 100-meter
dash. Shaffer, who just missed
out qualifying in the 200 with
a fifth-place finish, took fourth
place in the 100 in 11.39 seconds. Carr also slipped into
a qualifying spot by earning
fourth place in the girls’ race
in 13.14 seconds.
“Overall, it was a good day,”
said IHS coach Carl Boldra.
“We do not take as many as
some teams to regionals because we go by qualifying standards that the state sets, so not
as many kids participated as
other teams. The athletes that
were there represented our
school and community very
well. If you only look at qualifiers, you might think it was not
a good day, but we also had a

Independence and Field
Kindley both struggled in the
team standings. The FKHS
boys took 11th place with 18
points, with IHS coming in
15th with 6. On the girls’ side,
it was Independence that took
11th place with 20 points,
while Field Kindley was 15th
with 3.
“We had some bad luck
and near misses at regionals,” Neuenschwander said.
“Tamia Mims and Kevin McDaniel both suffered knee contusions in the high hurdles.
Tamia was able to run the 100
and finished fifth in the finals,
and Kevin was able to finish
and qualified for the finals. We
tried Kevin in the 4 x 100 relay and the pain was too much
for him, so he was a scratch
for the 110 finals and the 300.
Looking at his times from the
last two meets, he definitely
would have qualified for state
in the 300 and contended for
a medal. He was very disappointed but realizes that he
had a very good season. He
was the SEK champion and
is also a junior, so he will be
back.”

ULYSSES — Southeast Kansas League golf champion Logan Vacca had high expectations of himself heading into
this week’s Class 4A State
Tournament. Just one year removed from a third-place finish at state, the senior wanted
to close out his career as one
of the top golfers in the state of
Kansas.
In his final appearance as
a
member
of
the Field
Kindley
golf team,
the senior
shot
a
round of
78 to take
11th place
Monday
at BentLogan Vacca
wood Golf
Course.
“In my mind, he is a champ
to me,” said Golden Tornado
coach Mike Peck.
Vacca was the top performer for a ‘Nado team that finished as the SEK and regional
runner-up behind Chanute. On
Monday, FKHS had a score of
363 to take 10th place overall.
Hays won its first state championship since 1996 with a
score of 312 — three strokes
ahead of runner-up Rose Hill
at 315. Wichita Collegiate was
third at 318. SEK champion
Chanute was fifth at 352.
On a warm day with slight
breezes in Ulysses, Vacca finished four strokes behind
champion Clete Carlson of
Chanute with a 74. Cooper
Spears of Wamego was the
runner-up with Parker Austin
of Rose Hill coming in third at
75.
Vacca had a rough start to
the day with two double-bogeys and three bogeys on the
front side to record a 43. He
picked things up on the back
side, finishing with a 35 on the
final nine holes to earn a state
medal.
“The front side, he had a
rough day,” Peck said. “Most
guys might give up, but that
not what Logan is made of. He
fought back and he was two
under on the first eight holes
on the back side and ended up
with a bogey on 18. That made
him one under on the back
side.”

’Pups unable to punch ticket to state tourney; season ends at 12-10
BY BRIAN THOMAS
HARPER — It took just one
inning to doom the Caney Valley High School softball team
in the semifinal round of the
Class 3A Harper Regional
Tournament.
The Lady Bullpups surrendered seven runs during a
costly third inning and went
on to drop a 10-3 decision to
top-seeded Leon-Bluestem last
Thursday at the Harper Sports
Complex, ending their season
with a 12-10 overall mark.
“We had one bad inning,”
said CVHS coach Jerod Rigdon. “Otherwise, it’s a good
3-3 game. It’s hard to end such
a good season based on one
bad inning, but at this point
in the season, it takes seven
complete innings to win these
games against good teams.”
Caney Valley was the No.
5 seed in the bracket but was
coming off a 4-3 quarterfinal
win over host Anthony/Harper-Chaparral one day earlier.
Meanwhile, Bluestem — a
future member of the Tri-Valley League effective the 201617 school year — went on to
capture the regional championship with a 5-4 victory over
Cheney in the title game later
that day. Cheney reached the
final by way of a 1-0 semifinal
win over Douglass.
Bluestem heads into this
week’s Class 3A State Tournament in Manhattan with a
21-2 overall record.
The Lady Bullpups actually
jumped out to the early lead in
the semifinal contest. Kennedy
Nunneley came in to score the
team’s first run in the top half
of the first for a 1-0 edge.
CVHS maintained that onerun edge until the bottom half
of the third when things went
downhill. The Lady Lions exploded for seven runs during
that inning to grab a lead they
would not relinquish.
Caney Valley tried to keep
things close. In the fourth inning, Paige Price tripled and
eventually came in to score.
One inning later, Selena Rodriguez led off the fifth with a
double and scored to get CVHS
back within four at 7-3.
That’s as close as the ‘Pups
would get, though. Bluestem
responded with two in the bottom of the fifth to extend the
lead and then put the game
away with another tally in the
sixth.
The Lady Bullpups man-
aged just three hits in the contest.

Caney Valley slips
past Chapparal, 4-3
In the postseason, the Lady
Bullpups needed to play some
of their best ball of the season.
They did just that in regional
quarterfinal action, knocking off host Chaparral 4-3 last
Wednesday.
“We played error-free ball
on defense,” Rigdon said. “We

The game was scoreless until the third inning when CVHS
put the first run on the board.
The Lady Bullpups added two
in the fifth and another in the
sixth to open up a 4-0 edge.
Things got interesting down
the stretch. Chaparral (10-11)
ended the shutout with a run
in the bottom of the sixth before getting two more runs in
the seventh to get within one.
CVHS was able to hold on in
the end to earn the quarterfinal win.
Neither team did much at
the plate, recording four hits
each.
In other regional quarterfinal action, Douglass downed
Elk Valley 9-0 and Cheney

Indy’s Lexi Carr earns pair of bronze medals at state swim meet
Hadleigh Palmer wanted to
cut time. The 200 and 400 free
relays both cut time. The 200
free relay accomplished their
goal and made finals. Lexi not
only placed top eight but got
third in both of her events. I
was extremely proud of all six
of the girls who swam.” Independencde competed
in a total of six events at state
competition, while Montgomery County rival Field Kindley
also participated in three relays.
The highlight of the weekend was the performance of

TOPEKA — In its first year
as a program, the Independence High School girls’ swimming team definitely made
quite a splash.
Led by a pair of third-place
finishes from Lexi Carr in the
50 and 100 freestyle races, the
Lady Bulldogs took 20th place
overall at the Class 5-4-3-21A Girls’ State Swimming and
Diving Championships over
the weekend at the TopekaCapitol Federal Natatorium.
“The girls had goals,” said
IHS coach Haley Marchant.
“The relays wanted to make
finals, Lexi Carr wanted to
place in the top eight and
lowed that up by going 24.97
seconds in the finals to take
third place.
She wasn’t done there. She
also made it to the finals in
the 100 freestyle with a time
of 55.29 seconds and then
stepped things up even more
in the finals. There, she finished in a time of 54.57 seconds to once again take third
place.
The junior actually qualified for state individually in
four different events but was
allowed to participate in a
maximum of two.
Palmer competed in the 100
backstroke but missed out on
the finals by taking 28th place
in the prelims with a time of
1:10.78. She went into the
event seeded 25th after earning a spot with a qualifying
time of 1:09.33 earlier this
season at the Emporia Invitational.
In the relays, the Lady Bulldogs’ top performance came in
the 200 freestyle. After earning a spot in the finals with a
time of 1:50.67 in the prelims,
IHS — which included Dara
Mendoza, Ellen Unruh, Palmer and Carr — finished in 11th
place with a time of 1:50.29.
The other two relays were
unable to get into the finals.
The Lady Bulldogs finished
19th in the 400 freestyle relay
in 4:11.87 and was 24th in the
200 medley relay in 2:16.08.
Field Kindley was unable to
get into the final of its three
relay events at state.
The 200 medley relay took
17th place in a time of 2:07.19.
The 200 freestyle relay was
22nd overall in 1:55.35. Meanwhile, the 400 freestyle relay
came in at 26th in 4:23.07.
Independence finished the
meet with 44 total points for
20th place. Blue Valley Southwest claimed the state championship with 312 points, followed by Bishop Miege in the
runner-up spot with 249. St.
Thomas Aquinas took third
at 191, followed by Kapaun

The senior closed out a successful final season at FKHS.
Not only did he claim the SEK
individual championship, but
he also took third place at regional competition.
Vacca was not the only
‘Nado golfer to earn a medal
at state. Cameron Becker finished in an eight-way tie with
a score of 80 but managed to
take 19th place. He shot a 39
on the front side and 41 on the
back nine to close out the season.
“He had a good front nine,”
Peck said. “He hit the back
nine and was playing really
good golf for five holes, and
then he hit a wall. He had a
bogey, double bogey, bogey.
We have to wait to play 18,
and we had a talk. He dug
deep to par his last hole. The
last hole is a par 3 over water
145 yards with very little room
of mistake. I am very proud to
have two top-20 finishes in the
state of Kansas.”
Also competing for the
Golden Tornado in the state
tournament were Eric Wright
(49-49—98), Austin Peck (5057—107) and Nick Porter (5860—118).
Independence had just one
representative at state tournament this season. Alex Wesselowski, who was one of the top
five golfers from non-qualifying teams at the regional tournament in Chanute, was part
of a five-way tie for 51st place
with an 88 (42-46).
“Alex played decent out
there,” said IHS coach Dave
Harlin. “He had a couple a
couple of bad shots that he
found some trouble on that
cost him several strokes on
his first nine. His second nine
was much better. I was very
pleased with most of his round
out there.”

Chargers, ’Pups send delegation to state track meet
BY BRIAN THOMAS
ERIE — One week after
claiming the Tri-Valley League
championship, the Caney Valley High School boys’ track
team captured more hardware
last Friday as regional champion.
The Bullpups slipped past
TVL foe Humboldt to earn first
place at the Class 3A Regional
Track Meet. In the process,
CVHS also claimed four regional event titles as it prepares for the upcoming state
meet.
Caney Valley recorded 90
points for the top spot in the
meet. It was followed by Humboldt with 84, Wellsville 74
and Galena 63. Cherryvale tied
Fredonia for fifth place with
45 points.
Leading the way for the
‘Pups was Tyler Watts, who
claimed first place in both the
boys’ 110-meter hurdles in
15.31 seconds and 300 hurdles in 42.59 seconds. Watts
was also a part of two statequalifying relay teams. The 4 x
400 relay — which also included Jesus Palacios, Cole Griffin
and Billy Cowan — won the
regional title in 3:34.49. Meanwhile, the 4 x 100 relay team
that included the same crew
took fourth place in 45.23 seconds.
Cowan and Brycen Gulick
also qualified individually in
two events. Cowan was second
in the 200-meter dash in 23.15
seconds and third in the 400 in
52.33. Gulick was the runnerup in the 3200-meter run in
10:41.5, while taking third in
the 1600 in 4:46.06. Gulick
was also a member of the runner-up 4 x 800 relay team that
finished in 8:58.14. That group
included Palacios, Ty Messner
and Josh Wilson.
The Bullpups had two more
state qualifiers on the boys’
side — Jacen Clapp with a
second-place finish in the shot
put at 43-7 3/4 and Griffin the
100-meter dash with a fourthplace time of 11.67 seconds.
Cherryvale qualified for
state in six boys’ spots at the
regional meet.
Ian Pearson finished as the
runner-up in both the high
jump with a leap of 6-0 and

IHS BULLDOGS FINISH BASEBALL SEASON AT 12-10
Hits hard to find for Independence in regional title game
BY BRIAN THOMAS
ALTAMONT — A late-season run had the Independence
High School baseball team
thinking big … as in a trip to
the state tournament. Unfortunately, those dreams were
dashed in the championship
game of the regional tournament.
The Bulldogs did not record
a hit until the seventh inning
and dropped a 6-1 decision to
Chanute last Friday afternoon
in the Class 4A-Division I Independence Regional.
“The boys had a solid regional,” said IHS coach Marcus Lanning. “They played all
3 phases in both games. We
had a couple bad innings in
the finals, but the boys played
hard all tournament.”
Independence — seeking its
first state tournament appearance in nearly two decades
— closed out its season with a
12-10 overall record.
“I’m proud of the season
the boys put together,” Lanning said. “The program is
headed in the right direction.
The seniors really stepped up

this year with leadership and
accountability. They have set
the foundation so the underclassmen follow their lead.”
Meanwhile, Chanute captured the regional title as it
improved to 15-6 overall. The
Blue Comets will be making
their first appearance at state
since 2006 as they open up action in the Class 4A-Division I
State Tournament today in Salina.
Despite being host of the
event, the Bulldogs were
forced to move the semifinal
and championship games to
Labette County High School after heavy rains made Emerson
Field in Independence unplayable.
After a solid 9-6 victory
over Labette County in the
semifinals last Thursday, the
Bulldogs had a tough time getting anything going against
Chanute. IHS went without a
hit the first six innings. Luc
Dunn broke up the no-hitter
by leading off the seventh with
a single. That eventually led to
the Bulldogs’ only run of the
game
Of course by then, Chanute
had already taken charge of
the game with a pair of threerun innings in the third and
sixth.
Starting pitcher Dalson
Hamlin took the loss for the
Bulldogs after allowing four
earned runs on eight hits in 5
2/3 innings of work.

Chargers’ season halted by Galena
GALENA — A rocky season came to an end
for the Cherryvale High School softball team
last Wednesday as it suffered a 14-1 loss to Galena in the quarterfinals of the Class 3A Erie
Regional.
The Lady Chargers — seeded No. 6 in the
bracket — closed out the season at 3-18 overall.
No further details were available from that
contest as of press time.
Galena went on to finish as the regional runner-up after losing to Riverton 3-0 in the cham-
pionship game. Prior to that, the third-seeded
Lady Bulldogs earned a 12-2 victory over host
Erie in the semifinal last Thursday.
In other quarterfinal action, SoutheastCherokee shut out Northeast-Arma 1-0 and
Erie thumped Neodesha 10-0. Riverton went on
to beat Southeast 18-3 in the other semifinal
game.
Riverton, with a 21-2 overall record, advanced to the Class 3A State Tournament,
which gets underway today in Manhattan.

Galena prevails over ’Pups
in regional baseball finale
Caney Valley,
Cherryvale hold
epic game in
semi-final battle
BY BRIAN THOMAS
GALENA — Just one win
stood in the way of the Caney
Valley High School baseball
team’s quest for a state tournament appearance. Unfortunately, that victory was tough
to come by for the Bullpups,
who suffered a 12-2 loss to
Galena in the championship
game of the Class 3A Galena
Regional last Thursday.
“We made a lot of mental
mistakes,” said Caney Valley’s
interim baseball coach Criss
Davis. “They did a good job
of playing fundamental baseball. We just didn’t make the
routine plays. You can’t keep
a team from scoring when you
give them that many opportunities on the bases.”
The Bullpups closed out
the spring season with a 13-9
overall record.
“I want to credit our boys
for making it to the championship game,” Davis said. “They
played very well just to put
themselves into this position.
At the end, there’s only gonna
be one happy team. Unfortunately, that team wasn’t us.”
After an emotional nineinning victory over Montgomery County rival Cherryvale in
the semifinals, CVHS fell into
a hole early in the title game.
Galena (16-7) struck for three
runs in the first inning and
maintained that lead into the
third inning.
That’s when Caney Valley
got on the scoreboard with a
pair of runs to narrow the gap
to one. The Bulldogs came
right back with four in the bottom half of the inning to take
control of things.
Galena then put things out
of reach with one in the fourth
and four more in the fifth to
close out the run-rule deciEagleEstate1x35

Caney Valley
outpaces Cherryvale
in extra innings
Locked in a scoreless tie
through eight innings, Caney
Valley came up with three
clutch runs in the ninth inning to knock off top-seeded
Cherryvale 3-1 in the regional
semifinals last Thursday.
“Talk about a pitchers’
duel,” Davis said. “Both pitchers threw extremely well. We
were able to get a few big hits
there in the ninth inning to get
the win.”
For the Chargers, it was a
tough way to wrap up the season as they closed things out at
12-9 overall.
“The game was well played
by both teams,” said Cherryvale coach Andy Beshear.
“Colben (Dodson) changed
speeds and located the ball
well. He and Baylor Melchiori were good on the mound.
Baylor threw high fastballs
that we had a hard laying
off of. When a pitcher has 18
strikeouts, the offensive team
isn’t putting pressure on the
defense. We had a couple of
chances to score the winning
run, but Caney made plays to
keep us scoreless.
“A lot of younger players had experience in varsity
games. All of our pitchers will
be back next season. Our players will work this summer and
improve for next season.”
Cherryvale actually had a
7-2 edge in total hits, but neither team could plate a run
until the ninth.
Kyser led things off with a
2:34 PM Page 1
single for the Bullpups. That
was followed by consecutive
walks to Bryce Short and Wyatt Anderson to load the bases. Josh Sutton followed with
a two-run double to break the
tie, and Anderson came in to
score on a wild pitch.
The Chargers didn’t go
down quietly in their final atbat. Zack Steed had a base hit
and stole second. He scored
on Ryan Robertson’s single to
center field. Yet, that’s all CHS
could muster as its season
came to an end.
Melchiori was the victorious pitcher, striking out 18
Charger batters while scattering seven hits and walking
just two. Dodson suffered the
loss despite allowing just one
earned run on one hit while
striking out six in 8 1/3 innings
of work.

Bullpups pound
Vikings, 10-3,
in quarterfinal
Despite trailing by two runs
early, the Bullpups stormed
back to blow out NortheastArma 10-3 in quarterfinal
action of the regional tournament last Wednesday.
“We did a good job of putting the bat on the ball,” Davis
said. “A lot of good things happen when you do that. We did
some good things offensively.”
A two-run homer in the first
inning gave the Vikings (10-11)
the lead, but the fourth-seeded Bullpups came back to tie
things up at 2-all after three
innings. Eventually, CVHS took
control, putting things well out

Orange Crush claims 2nd place at Pittsburg
A baseball team comprised of players from Independence and Cherryvale placed second at a
tournament in Pittsburg last weekend. At that tournament, the Orange Crush age 9 and under
team finished with four wins and one loss, the lone defeat coming in a 12-4 setback to Buck Commander of Fort Scott. Earlier in the tournament, the team defeated The Wolfpack of Carthage,
Mo., 7-5; the Riverton Thunder, 10-9; the Webb City Cardinals, 16-0. In the semi-final game, the
Oragne Crush faced the Riverton Thunder again and came through a hard-fought 7-6 victory in
extra innings. Members of the team who competed at the tournament were (bottom row, left to

CCC is represented at NJCAA
Women’s Golf Championships
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
— Two members of the Coffeyville Community College
golf team competed in the NJCAA Women’s Golf Championships last week at LPGA International.
Tournament action was
scheduled
last
Monday
through Thursday, but inclement weather forced the final
round of play to be cancelled.
CCC was represented by
Julia Dierker, who shot a 266
(94-87-85) to finish in a tie for
51st place overall. Meanwhile,
Cheyenne Musser tied for 75th
place with a 286 (90-94-102).
Dierker and Musser both
earned spots at nationals
by placing in the top 10 at
the Region VI Tournament
in Hutchinson. Dierker, who
qualified for a second straight
year, took fifth place in the region, while Musser was seventh.
Daytona State captured the
team championship with a
three-round
total of 876
— 25 strokes
ahead
of
r u n n e rup
Seminole State.
McLennan
took
third
place
with
Dierker
909.
This
was Daytona State’s eighth
national championship — the
most by any women’s golf program in the NJCAA.
The Falcons also had the
individual
champion as
they
were
led by Ji Sun
Kang
with
a three-day
total of 207.
That proved
to
be
12
strokes better than both
Roanna TomMusser

shared the runner-up spot at
219. Her total of 207 was also
