Teacher chases dream in Peace Corps By SAVANNAH DOWNING sdowning@dailynews.net

Jo Ann Jennings, right, and her Peace Corps Response team arrive in Belmopan, Belize. The team will develop reading tool kits and train teachers as part of its mission.

ISSUES AND IMPACT

May 18 was a bittersweet day for Jo Ann Jennings. It was her last day of work as a Hays USD 489 employee. After more than 20 years with the district, she is retiring for the second time and is embarking on an entirely new adventure. While some might say she has earned her right to sit back and relax after a full and impactful career, for Jennings, there is always something new to learn and a new challenge to tackle. In the early morning hours Monday, Jennings boarded a plane headed for Belmopan, Belize. At age 66, she is fulfilling a lifelong dream of joining the Peace Corps.

ISSUE: Foreign countries are in need of Peace Corps professionals to help train employees and implement programs. LOCAL IMPACT: A Hays woman recently retired and joined the Peace Corps in order to help teachers in Belize teach reading throughout the country.

The Peace Corps program was established in March 1961 under President John F. Kennedy and authorized by Congress as the Peace Corps Act. The purpose of the volunteer program is to assist people outside the United States while promoting peace and friendship between the U.S. and other countries. See CORPS, A5

Dear Annie: I am a widow with many children and stepchildren, who all are adults. Most of us get along and spend time with one another on a monthly basis.

Lisa The moment that you died our hearts were torn in two, one side filled with heartache, the other died with you. We often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon our cheeks.

Safely Home

I am home in heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, Safely home in heaven at last. There is work still waiting for you. So you must not idly stand; Do it now, while life remaineth; You shall rest in God’s own land. When that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting, Oh the Joy to see you come! We miss you so much, Your Loving Family

Remembering you is easy, we do it everyday, but missing you is heartache that never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts and there you will remain. Until the joyous day arrives, That we will meet again.

Brownback keeping eye on lawmakers By LUKE RANKER and TIM CARPENTER Topeka Capital-Journal

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback said Friday he was closely monitoring the Legislature as lawmakers craft a school finance bill to meet the state Supreme Court’s order requiring more funds for K-12 public schools. The House on Thursday approved school finance legislation with a two-thirds vote that would raise state aid to schools by $180 million in the upcoming academic year and add $100 million in the second year for a total of $280 million. An alternative in the Senate would boost funding to schools by approximately $240 million by the second

year. Brownback wouldn’t endorse either bill, and said his focus was on the roughly 25 percent of students deemed at-risk. The Kansas Supreme Court ruled in March the state had failed to ensure adequate funding for public schools and ordered more money be devoted to at-risk students. “I want to make sure we’re getting the funds there and the opportunities there,” he said. “That’s going to be what I’m looking for.” Originally, the House K-12 Education Budget Committee formed a bill that devoted nearly $450 million in five school years. Lawmakers whittled that back to a two-year commitment,

which Brownback said was smarter. Budgets are set for two years, and many factors about the next five years — including makeup of the Legislature — could change. “We’ve been through this drill before, and the further out you get, the harder it is to project,” he said. It remains unclear how the state will pay for any increase in K-12 spending. Previous attempts to close a $900 million budget deficit with a new tax plan have failed. The governor didn’t comment on tax legislation but has said he would veto any bill containing more than two personal income tax brackets or an individual income tax rate above 5 percent.

Riegel promoted to wastewater supt. City Manager Toby Dougherty announced the appointment of Jason Riegel as the new wastewater superintendent for the dity of Hays. Riegel is currently serving as the water conservation specialist. “Jason has excelled as the city of Hays’ water conservation specialist,” Dougherty said. “His background in wastewater will serve him well as he transitions to wastewater superintendent.” In October 2013, Riegel started his employment with the city of Hays as Kansas’ first municipality water conservation specialist. Before joining the city, Riegel worked eight years at the city of Lawrence’s wastewater treatment plant.

Funds needed to help Barton County tornado victims By MICHAEL STAVOLA Special to the HDN

“It was not a widespread tornado, but those affected will need help,” said Christy Tustin. Tustin, the executive director of the Golden Belt Community Foundation, said the May 16 tornado destroyed 10 homes and damaged 40 other structures in Pawnee Rock and western Barton County. The GBCF — covering the counties of Barton, Stafford,

Pawnee and Rush — began taking donations the next day to help those affected. Tustin said the GBCF fund was established following the Greensburg tornado in 2007 that continued north and did damage in their area. The fund was zeroed out following the 2007 tornado and reactivated for the second time May 17. Approximately $810,000 in damage has been calculated to homes and structures,

so far, by the county assessor’s office, according to Barton County Emergency Management Director Amy Miller. Meanwhile the GBCF fund had raised between $2,500 and $3,000, Tustin said. “There’s definitely still a pretty great need out there,” Tustin said, adding the money raised to date was “not as much as hoped for.” Tax-deductible donations can be mailed to GBCF at

P.O. Box 1911, Great Bend, KS 67530, in person at 1307 Williams St. or online at goldenbeltcf.org. United Way of Central Kansas also has established a relief fund. Donations can be made online at uwck.org or mailed to 1125 Williams St., Great Bend, KS 67530. United Way also will be taking donations during a community barbecue at the June Jaunt event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 4 in

Veterans Memorial Park. One hundred percent of donations will go to those affected by the tornado. Those affected by the tornado can apply for aid by contacting Amy Falcon at Catholic Charities of Southwest Kansas at (620) 227-1590. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Linda McCowan-Waite with the city of Pawnee Rock at (620) 617-7121.

Two recognized for 40 years of service to local Kiwanis club By The Hays Daily News

Two members of the Hays Kiwanis marked 40 years with the service organization. Glenn Staab and Lou Tinkel both joined the group in 1977. Staab was honored at Thursday’s meeting with a plaque and reading of his accomplishments with the group. Tinkel was unable to attend, but said he plans to attend next week’s meeting. Staab, who sells insurance

and real estate, has served as club president, lieutenant governor for the division, a district trainer and chaired two state Kiwanis conventions. Staab said the Kiwanis’ flag project is one of the most impressive things the club has taken on during his time. Since 2000, Kiwanis members have placed American flags in front of homes and businesses for five holidays as

a fundraiser. The group has orders to place more than 1,100 flags this year. “The club really participates well, and it’s all on holidays. I think that says a lot about our club,” Staab said. Tinkel, a salesman at James Motor Co., said the group’s goal of doing things for children in the community is what attracted him to the organzation. “What really made me

want to join Kiwanis was I had two young kids and we went to the Easter egg hunt. I liked what they did. So I thought I would be a part of it,” he said, adding his children then also helped with the hunt and still talk about those experiences today. Tinkel cited the work Kiwanis did in the past with improving many of the city parks as accomplishments he’s proud of.

Both men said the organization helped them make friends of people they might not otherwise have met and take part in activities in the community. In addition to the Easter egg hunt and support of city parks, Kiwanis also supports Big Brothers Big Sisters, CASA, First Call for Help, Special Olympics and scouting groups, among other projects.

Memorial Day

emorial Day is commemorated annually for those who have died in service of our country. Millions of patriotic individuals have done just that since America’s founding more than 200 years ago. While not every soldier’s death took place in a truly just or justifiable war or battle, the commitment to country always was honorable.

So, too, is the commitment of everybody else during times of war. Those who were able to emerge unscathed from a foxhole where comrades did not; those who were wounded or still carry scars from their honorable duty; the families from which members of the armed forces came from. Defending the United States, our ideals and our way of life requires sacrifices from all. For those who offer the ultimate sacrifice, however, these are the brave men and women we salute on Memorial Day. Whether enlisted personnel or commissioned officers, newbie grunts or seasoned veterans, no matter the race, religious persuasion or ethnic origin. Everybody looks the same in a flag-draped casket. We are forever indebted to those who fought and died for the red, white and blue. The freedoms we’ve cherished throughout history have been secured in large part by our military. The national holiday tomorrow is the ideal time to thank those who’ve died on our behalf. If you can attend one of the many Memorial Day services scheduled throughout northwest Kansas on Monday, do so. If you’d prefer to pay respect by visiting a cemetery, saying a prayer, buying a poppy, wearing the nation’s colors or observing a moment of silence, do that. There still will be plenty of time to thoroughly enjoy the three-day weekend, a break made possible by our fallen brothers and sisters in uniform.

Editorial by Patrick Lowry plowry@dailynews.net

In Flanders Fields In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields.

They have become “climate refugees.” The accompanying famine now threatens millions of people with starvation — if they don’t die of thirst first.

Arctic ice is fast disappearing, to the detriment of many animal species. However, an ice-free Arctic is navigable, providing access to underwater deposits estimated at one eighth of the world’s remaining oil reserves, and a third of its gas reserves. This is not a good thing. When opportunity knocked, Russia answered the door. Russia is developing a strong, specialized military force in the Arctic, anticipating conflict with competing nations still clinging to their deadly fossil fuel addiction. Those fossil fuels should remain buried. The problem with extracting Canadian tar sands is not pipeline spills. Moving that gunk from ground to atmosphere will only hasten the arrival of the “tipping point,” the point of no return. Well, we can’t do anything about it anyway, says Stossel. Even trying would cause terrible economic disruption. Already, wind and solar energy have created more jobs than coal, oil and gas. Job descriptions will change, as they did when rural electrification devastated the kerosene industry, but a move to sustainable energy sources is socially and economically feasible. Terrible disruption is coming, yes. Mass population movement to escape high water or drought, abandoning sources of income and social stability, for example. Spreading tropical disease vectors.

bond ratings have dropped several times recently. Here in real Kansas, economic growth lags behind many neighboring states, schools are so underfunded they have taken the state to court, and health-care providers wait longer and longer to get paid less and less. Those serving lower-income communities operate on slim margins and might have to close or deny services. Some already are gone. Reality is messy and complicated. The good guys do not always win, the best ideas do not always prevail, and good intentions do not equal good results. Effective decisions take hard work: sifting through numbers, deciding upon trade-offs and making sacrifices. They require empathy with those affected by our actions, and a willingness to admit mistakes and make amends. Instead, we have been given a budget that is particularly vindictive to the poor, kind to the rich and fundamentally unbalanced. When children learn their magical daydreams are just pretend, they are sad for a while, then get over it. When policymakers engage in magical thinking, it is the rest of us that suffer, and for a long time to come.

“I was about 10 years old then (1961), and I don’t know if I knew about it right then,” Jennings said. “But it was up and going strong by the time I got to college at the end of the ’60s.” Jennings said there was a social upheaval in the country at that time, and people were inspired by President John F. Kennedy’s vision for the Peace Corps and were inspired to get involved in the world and to do good work. The 1960s were a time of polarizing political views, with many young people opposed to the war in Vietnam and citizens fighting for civil rights in the United States. “His vision for the Peace Corps and the period that followed that just dovetailed perfectly,” Jennings said. “It was right when young people wanted to do something in the country.” Jennings said it was something she wanted to do as well, but she didn’t believe the timing was right. “I had a lot of school debt,” Jennings said. “Now, I realize that I could have deferred that.” Jennings was married at age 28, and said that stopped the thoughts of joining for some time. “But it’s always been in the back of my mind,” Jennings said. She began teaching in 1974 and has been in the field for 43 years. She has been a kindergarten through fifth-grade teacher, Reading Recovery teacher and college instructor before taking on her most recent assignment as an English language arts staff developer — teaching teachers.

After joining USD 489 in 1996, Jennings retired for the first time in January 2011. “I had to retire basically in the middle of the year to take care of my husband” Jennings said. Her husband, Richard, had Lewy Body Dementia. In 2012, after 32 years of marriage, Jennings lost her husband to the disease. The time that followed involved a lot of soul searching. “About two months after my husband died, I got on the Peace Corps website and started looking and thinking about it again,” Jennings said. “But I realized I was in no emotional shape to undertake that.” In November 2012, Jennings returned to USD 489 as an English language arts staff developer, and her primary focus during the past five years has been to implement the new reading and writing curriculum adopted by the district. All the while still entertaining her dream of joining the Peace Corps. “These past five years, I’ve continued to go back to the website,” Jennings said. “I just couldn’t let it go.” She made a decision last spring that she was going to move forward with it. In January 2012, the Peace Corps widened the scope of its Peace Corps Response, a second arm of the Peace Corps, which would allow professionals with at least 10 years of professional expertise to apply for specific job postings — even if they had not previously served in the Peace Corps. Denis Illige-Saucier, recruitment and placement

specialist for Peace Corps Response, said it is becoming more common for mid- to late-career professionals to join the PCR. “In our current policy, we don’t have any requirements for someone to have served in the Peace Corps previously in order to join Peace Corps Response,” Illige-Saucier said. “It’s not a large portion of our candidates. We do still generally have most of our positions filled by return Peace Corps volunteers, but it’s something that is increasingly part of our candidate pool to have mid- to late-career professionals.” Illige-Saucier said at any one time, they usually have approximately 300 Peace Corps Response positions scattered across different countries. “In my case, I actually found the country post the job opening on the Peace Corps Response website,” Jennings said. “The job description of the literacy intervention specialist fit exactly what I’ve been doing.” The country which posted the job listing was Belize. Jennings filled out the online application in the fall and was selected for a phone interview Feb. 8. As she already was planning to retire at the conclusion of the school year, she was thrilled when she was notified March 1 she had been selected for the Peace Corps Response team. While the regular branch of the Peace Corps requires a 27-month commitment, the position for which Jennings has been hired requires only a seven- to nine-month obligation.

The temporary home Jennings stayed in upon first arriving in Belmopan, Belize earlier this week. She eventually will move in with a family and stay with them for the duration of her mission. Jennings and a team of three others — who are all relatively her age and who also have impressive credentials and expertise essential to the mission — will work to assist teachers with teaching reading in Belize. “The Ministry of Education in Belize has been working three years prior to our arrival trying to identify what their teachers need,” Jennings said. The team’s first mission will be to develop a physical tool kit the teachers can use to teach reading. They will then travel to 20 different education centers in the country to conduct week-long trainings with the teachers there. The country itself is small, at approximately 8,000 square miles. “It’s about the size of eight of our counties in Kansas,” Jennings said. She will be stationed in Belmapon, the capital of

Belize. A requirement of the Peace Corps is she live with a family, so she can become better integrated into the culture. While the official language of Belize is English, nearly 60 percent of its citizens speak another language at home — Spanish as well as some Mayan-Indian dialects are present. “I’m hoping that the family I live with speaks another language at home,” Jennings said. She knows she will have a small room and a desk to herself in the home in which she will be living. Beyond that, Jennings is not sure what kind of living conditions to expect — especially when she travels to the educational centers outside of the capital. Jennings will not be near the coast where people travel for vacation, but she will be working mostly in areas of dense jungle. She will travel either by water taxi or by bus. In all of the information provided to Jennings by the Peace Corps organization, safety is the top priority for all of its volunteers. There are certain areas and streets she is not allowed to use, and she is required to notify the Peace Corps of all of her movements. She must text where she is going and when she plans to return, and she must notify them once she returns home. “I was told that I will be supervised more than my parents supervised me in high school,” Jennings said with a laugh. Even with all of those concerns to think about, she thinks her biggest challenge actually might be the climate. “Most days it is 95 degrees

with 98 percent humidity,” Jennings said. “And there is no air conditioning.” She said one of the questions during the interview was how she thought she would handle heat. “I said we do have to deal with a lot of weather extremes in Kansas,” Jennings said. “But humidity is usually not one of them. I actually think that might be my biggest challenge.” However, her travel documents assured her there will be chances to find relief from the heat. “It said you’ll have many opportunities to cool off in the river where you will be bathing and doing your laundry,” Jennings said. For her first foray out of the United States, the cultural experiences in Belize promise to be rich and diverse. While Jennings said she is not nervous at all, she does have siblings, other family and friends who it will be difficult to leave behind. Her mother, who is 92, lives in Hays and, according to Jennings, they do everything together. “We go to church together every Saturday evening and then have dinner, so this is going to be hard on her,” Jennings said. “But she wrote me a beautiful note last week telling me how proud she is of me and how amazed she is that I’m willing to do this to help others.” Jennings colleagues at USD 489 are equally as proud. “Jo Ann felt called to join the Peace Corps,” said Shanna Dinkel, assistant superintendent. “I admire that she said yes to that calling despite the many anxieties she must have had. The Peace Corps is lucky to have her on their team, and there’s no doubt in my mind that she will make a real difference in the lives of those she meets there.” Jennings said she hopes to portray America in a positive light to the people of Belize, and she also hopes to come away from this experience with a deeper understanding of the living conditions, the culture and the state of education in another country. It’s a dream that’s been deferred for nearly 40 years. “For me, because of my age, it felt like now or never. I just knew that it couldn’t wait,” Jennings said. “I love the fact that the world is open to me.”

MEMORABILIA, F

What he calls the Museum of the Common Soldier takes up the entirety of what once was an upstairs apartment in the La Crosse home his parents built in 1937, and where Stephens lives with his wife, LaVetta. While he sometimes comes across political or civilian awards in his search for more items, he said those are not the kinds of things he wants. He looks for the things that pertain to the everyday solider, from all sides of combat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I try to collect from the armies that are represented up here are combat-related items only,â&#x20AC;? said Stephens, a Navy veteran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m much more interested in something that has a story behind it than just the article,â&#x20AC;? he said. The collection includes uniforms and weapons used by those in combat and even items bored soldiers made to pass the time and, like the WWII veteran who sparked his interest, the mementos they brought back home. While the WWII era comprises most of his collection, it also includes artifacts from the Korean War and Vietnam War. But Stephensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interest in history goes even farther back. One of his best pieces, he said, is an autographed lithograph of Margaret Custer Calhoun, sister of Gen. George Armstrong Custer. She married 1st Lt. James Calhoun of the 7th U.S. Calvary, who died at the Battle of Little Big Horn along with her three brothers and a nephew. A Custer historian verified the autograph was not only authentic but her actual signature as opposed to a stamp of her signature, Stephens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite rare because she signed almost nothing,â&#x20AC;? he said. The piece is displayed in his living room, along with several rifles and cannonballs from the era, along with maybe his oldest pieces, a Roman arrowhead and crucifixion nail from the province of Dacia, what is now Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo. He also has a suit of Samurai armor from the 17th Century and Samurai swords. No matter what era the

Islamic State claims responsibility for attack By MOLLY HENNESSY-FISKE Tribune News Service

MINYA, Egypt — Islamic State claimed responsibility for an attack on a bus loaded with Coptic Christians the day before near the southern city of Minya, which officials said killed 29 people. “A security team of caliphate soldiers set up an ambush for dozens of Christians as they headed to the church of St. Samuel,” the militant group said Saturday through Amaq, its media arm. The bus passengers were shot to death on their way to volunteer at a monastery. Twenty-five other Coptic Christians were wounded. Friday’s attack, on the eve of the Muslim holiday of Ramadan, led Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi to launch airstrikes on what officials said were militant training camps in the northeastern Libyan city of Derna. El-Sissi, a former general, said the gunmen had trained and planned the attack in Libyan camps, although Islamic State has not controlled Derna for two years. In a Saturday phone call, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry told U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson that officials found “information and evidence that terrorist elements involved in the Minya incident trained in these camps,” a statement said. The military strikes did little to reassure Coptic Christians in Minya, a city on the banks of the Nile approximately 140 miles south of Cairo where about 40 percent of the population is Christian — four times the percentage of the Muslim country’s population of 92 million. They have watched with dread this year as Islamic State militants advanced from strongholds in northern Sinai south beyond the capital. “This is not an isolated incident, it’s an evolution of a problem,” said Bishop Anba Makarios, the leader of Coptic Christians in Minya. “It is difficult to target Copts in churches because they have security and cameras. And in their homes, they live next to Muslims. So the new method is a way to get them alone: They pick a desert road in the heart of the mountain with no checkpoints or rest stops or anything on it so they can target only Copts.” Many of Minya’s 2 million Christians have felt threatened by local Muslim extremists for years. The Egyptian government historically provided security for the Christian minority, but that dwindled in the final years of longtime president Hosni Mubarak’s rule and seemed to disappear after he was replaced in 2012 by Islamist President Mohamed Morsi.

Attacks on churches, led by groups of Islamist extremists, surged. When el-Sissi ousted Morsi the following year, Coptic Christians were among his staunchest supporters. El-Sissi became the first Egyptian leader to attend Coptic Christmas services in Cairo two years ago, and was cheered by the crowd. He returned to comfort victims of an Islamic State suicide bombing that killed 29 people in a chapel beside St. Mark’s Cathedral in December. Islamic State declared a campaign against the country’s Christians soon after, and when twin church bombings killed 47 on Palm Sunday, el-Sissi declared a three-month state of emergency, vowing to protect them. But in Minya, residents said their compact with el-Sissi has failed as they face repeated attacks on the streets, their houses are burned and hate graffiti scrawled on the walls of their churches. More than a hundred Christians have been killed in the Minya area in the past year, Makarios said. A year ago this month, an elderly Christian woman was stripped by an angry Muslim mob that believed her son was having an affair with a Muslim woman. The following July, another Christian was stabbed to death by a mob. Tensions increased so much that before Easter, Coptic leaders announced they would curtail celebrations to avoid further clashes. Makarios blames groups like the Family House. Formed to resolve conflicts through tribal negotiations, he said they usually allow Muslim extremists to avoid criminal prosecution by intimidating Coptic minorities into accepting settlements instead. “The Family House concept needs to be reviewed,” he said. “It needs to have a clear role and a clear separation from other authorities. ... Reconciliation committees are fine only after the law has been enforced.” He noted the government also has been unwilling to allow Copts to open new churches, often on security grounds. In the Minya bishopric, which has a hundred churches, 150 villages have no churches. Yacoub Malak, a local Coptic priest who helped with funeral services Saturday at Virgin Mary Church, said they have been trying to open another house of worship in a nearby village for 15 years. The day it was due to open in 2002, worshipers were attacked by extremists, who broke the door and windows and ripped up the holy books.

past week. “Our season outlook predicts a range of storm activity in the entire six-month period across the Atlantic,” he said. “It does not predict when, where and how these storms might hit and if they will make landfall.” Not since Hurricane Wilma hit southern Florida in 2005 has a major storm of Category 3 or stronger struck the U.S. “Some may think that’s lucky,” he said. “But, in fact, tropical storms and hurricanes can be just as damaging and just as deadly.”

As an example, Friedman pointed to last year’s Hurricane Matthew, which caused storm surge flooding along the east coast from Florida to South Carolina. “That caused $10 billion worth of damage and caused 34 deaths just in the United States,” he said. “In the Caribbean, another 550 or more people were killed by that storm, making it one of the deadliest on record.” In the 25 years since Category 5 Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida, forecasting accuracy has improved 65 percent, said Mary

Erickson, deputy director at the National Weather Service. A new weather satellite above the equator will move into orbit over the Atlantic Coast this summer to give forecasters a more detailed view of storm formations that might threaten the U.S. and Caribbean. High-definition hurricane- and lightning-mapping programs will enhance forecast accuracy, Erickson said. “The primary goal of these improvements is to pinpoint where the biggest impacts are going to be,” she said.

some revenge.” As it would happen, Coffey wasn’t the only Stockton Tiger to take the podium in the long jump. Williams, the senior’s toughest competition all season, followed Coffey with second place after a jump of 22-0. “It’s the most ridiculous thing ever,” Coffey said of competing against Williams. “He’s the one who pushes me. Every meet we go to, most of the time we’re so far ahead of everybody, we’ll have to push each other. So he’ll jump farther than me. I’ll jump further than him. It just goes back and forth.”

The first day of state was made even better for Coffey as he won the triple jump title just three hours later. He won his second gold with a leap of 45-7.5. Coffey had a chance to pick up a third state title Saturday, or at least another medal. In the 400-meter relay, Coffey, Williams, Brayden Winters and Joel Green placed third in the preliminaries behind St. Francis and Pike Valley. A chance for four medals came up short as the 1,600-meter relay Coffey is on finished 13th in the preliminaries.

Today, a year after Money Chevrolet celebrated its 60th anniversary, Mike Money is still in charge. “There’s been huge changes in this business from when I started,” Money said sitting in his office that has been located in the same building on Main Street since a year after the business opened. “I think probably a lot of it has to do with the communication that we have in our world today. The internet and computers, cell phones and whatever. It’s made a lot of difference in how business is done.” Like all the challenges before, though, Money has still met them with a head-on approach. It hasn’t been easy, but the 77 year old adapted to the idea that things change as time marches on, so he just has to go with it, whether everything it involves is something he really cares to work with it. “I’m not saying it’s all been good for me, but I’m not saying it’s all been bad for me,” Money said.

“There’s both sides of that.” Money and his wife, Kay, raised their four children in Hill City. It’s been the place they’ve called home together for more than 50 years. As they have appreciated the Graham County way of life, Money’s business, that has grown substantially through the years, has thrived. Not long after purchasing the business, Money, which sold Chevrolet and Oldsmobile, added Buick and Pontiac into its lineup. Money was one of the youngest dealers and with the addition of the other two car lines, he said, he probably was the first dealer in the state who had all four lines. Time has brought the dealership back to two now though as General Motors has stopped making Oldsmobile and Pontiac. What has always been a success for Money has been the sale of bigger trucks. Those used for farm work. He also sells large daycab semis. It’s those trucks that have always been a large part of the Money business.

“I’ve always had a niche in bigger trucks, bigger than the pickup,” Money said. “Back in the early days it was Chevrolet size trucks. They weren’t big semis like they are now. As those trucks became more obsolete, people want bigger stuff. That’s a very large part of this business.” Money does most all the large truck sales. Most of it is done to buyers outside the Graham County area. He said about 50 percent of the larger trucks and semis are sold out of state. “Obviously, I like what I do,” Money said. “I guess for a lack of a better term, I’m probably a workaholic.” As someone who says he’s not much into playing games, a non-golfer, some of his time outside the office is helping his youngest son at the family farm and ranch. But there’s also the collection of original classic Chevrolet cars and a pickup Money has stored in a museum type setting just a block down the street from the dealership.

Part of the building that houses Money’s personal car and vintage sign collection was made to look like a filling station. It’s a private collection of 12 the Moneys keep stored. Seldom do they open museum up to the public. Along with the classic cars in the building is a collection of old and restored larger sign most of the them porcelain and neon. It is a collection Money has found across the country.

As he walks through the building he points to an Oldsmobile sign he bought in Atlanta, then to a Buick sign he got in Boston. Another Buck sign came from the St. Louis area. The cars and signs have been stored in the building for a little more than 20 years.

the meantime, use non-pyrethroid ear tags, sprays, pour-ons, etc. 4. Dust bags/cattle rubs. The advantage of a dust bag or rub is that, if placed at a site where all cattle must use it, it can provide very economical control of face and horn flies. Proper placement and keeping it charged with insecticide are the keys. 5. Sprays. Timely spraying of cattle throughout the year can be effective in reducing the fly population, but can be more time-consuming and expensive; especially if cattle are grazing a large area.

The audience watches a match between the University of Maryland, left, and the University of Illinois in the Big Ten Network “League of Legends” championship in the Battle Theater at North American League Championship Arena at Riot Games on March 28 in Los Angeles. Maryland won the best of five contest by a score of 3-0.

Melcher said the university realized if it was going to lead the way on esports, it needed to treat it like traditional sports. Today, students can receive gaming scholarships that cover either 75 percent or 35 percent of their tuition. By next year, Robert Morris expects to have 90 students

who specialize in different games. The most widely known game in the industry is “League of Legends,” the same game the Arrowhead students were playing. It’s the top-grossing video game in the world with more than $1.6 billion in annual profits, according to reports. When Staples Center in Los Angeles hosted the League of Legends World Championship final in 2013, tickets sold out in about an hour. Top players compete for millions of dollars in prize money.

“League of Legends” pits five-person teams in matches, and the goal is to take over the other team’s control tower. Strategy comes from picking the right assortment of fighting characters and running plays that look similar to the strategies employed in football or basketball. If teammates can’t physically be in the same room to talk through strategy, they usually don headsets to talk remotely. Anyone with an internet connection can play for free; “League of Legends” is free to download. The

company that owns it, Riot Games, charges small fees to trick out virtual characters with clothes or gear. Advances in technology have helped swell the esports fan base online. Turns out players also like to watch other people play. Much of this happens on the game-streaming website Twitch — bought by Amazon for $970 million in 2014. It allows viewers to watch what’s happening in a game while hearing the running commentary from the players. For more important games, professional announcers in suits and ties keep up an ESPN-style running banter. Live comments from viewers scroll on the side of the screen, and advertisements regularly interrupt the feeds. Many educators are wary about the commercialization of esports, given the young fans. But they also see new competitive opportunities in gaming for the types of students who are not typical jocks. Many schools host after-school gaming clubs, but on a school-recognized esports team, students work together more formally and can represent the school in tournaments. Three years ago, Dahle, the teacher at Arrowhead, started an after-school gaming club where students came to his computer lab to play everything from computer to board games. A gamer himself, Dahle started to help organize twice-a-week practices for a half-dozen of Arrowhead’s most ardent League of Legends gamers, and he got permission from the district to support the team. By next summer, Dahle hopes to develop a state esports conference that will connect schools with teams all over Wisconsin. Earlier this month Dahle drove his League of Legends players to their first tournament. It was the second annual High School Esports Invitational, hosted at Robert Morris. “It’s so fun to be able to play with your friends competitively,” said Cameron Carr, a sophomore on the league.

WICHITA — In his final track and field event of his high school career, Shane Berens went all in.

It was good enough to put him in first place until Kansas City-Piper’s Micaiah Noel went 56-4.5 on his third attempt. “I was feeling, let’s throw 57,” Berens said after Noel’s attempt had surpassed his best to that point. “I gave my best.” On his first throw of the finals round in Class 4A, Berens topped his personal best again with a 56-3.5. It ended up being his best attempt, leaving him just one inch short of a state title in the runner-up spot. “I felt good today,” Berens said. “I PRed twice today. My first throw felt good.” The runner-up is the best finish Berens has had at the state meet, and so the feeling of leaving Cessna Stadium as a high school athlete was one he feels good about. Especially after a hard day Friday when he was left off the podium in the discus with a ninth-place showing. Last year he finished third. See BERENS, C2

A week ago, TMP senior Kendra Werth was excited just to qualify for the Class 3A state meet in the 100 and 300 hurdles. By the end of Friday’s preliminary races the senior had guaranteed herself a pair of medals, qualifying for the finals of both events. “She went out and ran some smart races,” TMP coach James Harris said of the preliminary races. The guarantee of two trips to the podium seemed to take some of the pressure off the Monarch hurdler heading into her final two races of her prep career. “Even if I get last, I was like ‘At least get a medal,’ ” Werth said. “I was fine with it.” Not only did she make it to the finals, she picked off a runner in

Hensley’s strong outing — eight innings, three earned runs, seven strikeouts and only one walk in the semifinal — on 98 pitches allowed the Ellis head coach to limit the number of pitches for LaBarge, who got the win in relief. That allowed LaBarge to start the title game against Bluestem. “That was crazy,” Smith said about the semifinal victory. “It took awhile for all of us to get calmed down. I had an adrenaline rush going. That was crazy. But, still, we won that game but were focused on this one. This was the one we wanted. We weren’t just satisfied with making it here. We wanted to win it. We just came up short.” The Lions (18-4) struck first in the title game, pushing a run across in the top of the first. But Ellis answered right back, scoring two runs on

RBI singles by seniors Bryce Keithley and Trayton Kroeger. LaBarge retired all three batters in the top of the second before a sacrifice fly by senior Brayden Bittel in the bottom of the second made it 3-1. The Lions got their first hit off LaBarge in the third, but the senior ended the inning unscathed. Bluestem junior starter Blake Bevan walked two in the bottom of the third, and both eventually scored — staking Ellis to a 5-1 lead. “Obviously at that point, we weren’t in cruise control by any means,” Cain said. “But we were feeling good. Unfortunately, we just had a bad inning. We made some mistakes that we haven’t made in a long time.” The top of the fourth was when the Railers started to see the state title slip through their fingers. The Lions pulled within 5-3 after scor-

ing two runs on no hits and three errors. “We did the best we could, and we played hard,” Smith said. “We just had one inning, and that happens to everyone. We just couldn’t overcome it. That happens. Some people win, and some people lose. It’s just hard to handle losing when you’re so close. It’s tough.” The pressure intensified on the Railers in the fifth. Bluestem struck for three runs on three hits and two more errors. “It hasn’t been wrong for us all year,” said Cain, whose team stranded 13 runners on base — including three innings with the bases loaded. “Our strength has been our defense and our pitching. I think we got tired, and pitching got tired. We had some mental lapses that we just don’t normally have. Unfortunately, they came at the wrong time.” LaBarge was relieved in

the inning by little-used freshman Carter Bollig. “He’s pitched one inning all year, and he’s a freshman,” Cain said. “He did a great job; he really did. I’m proud of him, and I’m proud of the boys behind him making plays and backing him up.” LaBarge went 4.2 innings, allowing six runs — only one earned — on four hits, with four strikeouts and four walks (including a hit batter). “We haven’t had an inning like that all year,” Hensley said. “But it happens to the best of us. We don’t have anything to be ashamed of.” Bluestem added two more runs on a pair of RBI singles in the sixth to make it 8-5. Ellis’ last gasp at a rally started with two outs in the bottom of the seventh. Backto-back walks, followed by an infield single by Smith, loaded the bases. “This team doesn’t quit at all,” Hensley said.

“We had our good hitters up,” Cain said. “They were just keeping us off-balanced the whole game for the most part. We had a hard time putting good swings on the ball for some reason.” But the next batter grounded out to the pitcher, ending the Railers’ bid for the school’s first baseball crown. “I love all these guys, and I always will,” Smith said. “We’re all super close. It’s just one inning. That’s all it is. Not saying that won them the game. They’re a great team and a good ball team. It was just a good ball game. It was fun to be a part of it. It just sucks that we lost.” “We have a lot to be proud of, for sure,” Cain said. “This is a great group of young men, and they’ve worked extremely hard for me for the last two years. This isn’t how we wanted to finish, but they absolutely have a lot to be proud of.”

The runner-up finish was the best in Ellis’ history. The Railers qualified for state a year ago but lost 5-0 to Medicine Lodge in the first round. Medicine Lodge went on to finish second behind Pittsburg-St. Mary’s/Colgan. “That was so fun making it past the first day,” Smith said. “We’d never made it past the first day before. Winning that next game, what a crazy win. That was so awesome. It’s just tough right now. We played good baseball all yearround. People think we didn’t play good people. We made it to the state finals and got a chance to win it.” Cain will lose eight seniors from this year’s squad. “Unbelievable,” he said about the seniors’ impact on the program. “They are a great group of kids. We’re going to miss them tremendously. I think they’ve set a precedence for this program and how baseball needs to be played here.”

Vitztum’s strike sends TMP to its first state championship game By VINNY BENEDETTO vbenedetto@dailynews.net

With Friday’s win over Louisburg in the state semifinals at Friends University in Wichita, the Thomas More Prep-Marian girls’ soccer team took another step forward for the program. Another step forward and the Monarchs (14-4-1) will be able to call themselves state champions. “This is amazing,” senior midfielder Megan Koenigsman said. “I honestly never thought we’d get here, but we all — this last postseason — have been working our butts off. It’s paying off.” Junior Kayla Vitztum’s goal in the 45th minute was the only breakthrough in the 1-0 result. Vitztum made a vertical run and was played into space by junior midfielder Aubrey Koenigsman. “I saw open space and she laid out a beautiful ball. She put me 1 (on) 1,” Vitztum said. “It was awesome.” It started what ended up being a TMP controlled second half. “You could tell we all really

wanted it,” Vitztum said. “We were all going to the ball as hard as we could.” The first half was a more even affair. The Wildcats and Monarchs seemed to almost split possession, as much of the action happened in the middle of the field. Quality scoring opportunities were rare, but TMP’s best two chances were created by Vitztum. On one run, the junior forward played the ball across the face of goal, seemingly setting up junior Ashley Ostrander up for a look at a mostly open goal. The pass glided beyond the reach of Ostrander and out of play, however. Later in the half, the junior duo linked up, but Ostrander’s first-touch strike rolled wide of goal. “Our luck wasn’t going our way, getting that touch,” TMP coach Darryl Wellbrock said. The game went to the half in a scoreless draw, but the Monarchs’ appeared to gain confidence from the chances created in the opening 40 minutes. “At halftime, we went over and talked and we were like ‘We can do this. This is

served her the perfect ball.” Much of the rest of the half, a second goal from TMP looked more likely than a Wildcat equalizer. Anytime Louisburg built an attack it was snuffed out either by the four Monarch defenders of goalkeeper Deonna Wellbrock. “Our defense has done awesome lately,” Megan Koenigsman said. “I don’t have to come back as far because I trust them. I know when those dangerous balls come, they’re going to clear it out or VINNY BENEDETTO, vbenedetto@dailynews.net get it up to the midfield.” Despite a series of corner Thomas More Prep-Marian junior forward Kayla Vitztum kicks and a couple more close looks for a teammate to celebrate with after scoring the calls, the Monarchs were only goal in the second half of a state semifinal against unable to breathe a sigh of Louisburg on Friday at Friends University in Wichita. relief until the final seconds.

as Monarch players engaged in emotional embraces with parents and posed for pictures. As the stadium lights dimmed, the TMP focus turned to its next opportunity to progress the program one final step forward. The Monarchs hoped to continue the celebration in Saturday’s state championship game against Bishop Miege. “We’re not going to change much,” Wellbrock said. “Play what we’ve been playing. Hopefully we get our legs back over the night and get rested.” The Stags previously beat the Monarchs in their host tournament in a game that was delayed multiple times by weather. It will be a new stage for the TMP soccer program, but Friday’s star thinks some familiarity with the opponent could help settle any nerves. “It’s new for us, but I think we’re going to come in with a high confidence level,” Vitztum said. “We’ve played Bishop Miege, so we kinda know what they have. We’re just going to put it all out there.”

“I would’ve told you you were full of (it),” TMP coach Darryl Wellbrock said. His daughter, Deonna, the starting goalkeeper had a slightly more printable way of phrasing the same sentiment. “I would’ve said you’re full of crap,” the TMP keeper said. “This is just a team that no one really expected it.” The only goal that separated the Monarchs from the state champion Stags came in the 38th minute. Bishop Miege sophomore Elena Eckwall beat a defender and lofted a bending, left-footed shot into the side net. “The girl made a real nice cut,” the TMP coach said. “That shot was a pretty good quality shot for a left foot. It didn’t have a lot of weight on it, but it went where it needed to. That’s all that matters.” It was the only time TMP keeper Deonna Wellbrock would be beaten on the day. “Great,” Lang said, summing up her keeper’s play. “She always does really good.” The coach and players agreed despite the loss it was one of the defensive group’s better showings.

“I couldn’t ask for any more of those girls,” Deonna Wellbrock said. After seeing the Stags control the possession in the first half, the Monarchs seemed to play with more confidence and energy in the second half. The Monarchs best chance to equalize came roughly 10 minutes into the second half. Junior Kayla Vitztum collected the ball on the west sideline and raced past a pair of Bishop Miege defenders. She was able to cut back into the penalty area and got a shot off but played it into the hands of the Miege keeper. Megan Koenigsman tested the Miege keeper with a shot from approximately 35 yards out on a free kick but saw her attempt saved after a slight bobble. Miege handled the remaining five minutes with relative ease, forcing the Monarchs to settle for second. There’s no shame in the way the team played, however. “I think we left it all out there,” VINNY BENEDETTO vbenedetto@dailynews.net Coach Wellbrock said. “They did everything they Thomas More Prep-Marian junior Halle Lang absorbs a challenge from could.

Strasburg strikes out career-high 15 WASHINGTON (TNS) — Just hours after the Padres watched Max Scherzer record a season-high 13 strikeouts, they helped San Diego State product Stephen Strasburg to a personal best. Strasburg collected 15 strikeouts, a career high, over seven innings in the Washington Nationals’ 3-0 shutout victory Saturday. The right-hander became the sixth pitcher ever to strike out at least that many San Diego batters in a game, joining the likes of Tom Seaver and Nolan Ryan. For the fourth time in franchise history, the Padres were victimized by 14 or more strikeouts in consecutive games. Saturday’s total of 17 matched a season high. The Padres’ best chance to nick Strasburg came and went in the top of the first. After a single, an error and a walk, the bases were loaded with two outs. Strasburg doused the threat, fanning Austin Hedges on three pitches. “Sometimes with the best pitchers in the game, if you don’t get them in the first three innings, they become harder and harder to get to,” Padres manager Andy Green said. “We had our chance there in the first. We didn’t take advantage of it.” Padres left-hander Clayton Richard went six innings and allowed three runs. The first was scored by Strasburg himself. The pitcher led off the bottom of the third with a single, advanced to third on a double and came home on a fielder’s choice. In the sixth, Richard surrendered a leadoff double and, with one out, left a 1-2 fastball over the plate. Michael Taylor sent a drive out to left-center, homering for the second time in as many games. “It’s a different game if I execute pitches there,” Richard said. “Going into the seventh, eighth, ninth down one run is a lot different than down three. It’s disappointing to have not executed there and keep us a little bit closer. We stay in a one-run game, momentum is different, we’ve got a different attitude. It changes a lot of things.” With the exception of Allen Cordoba, a Rule 5 draftee, every member of the Padres lineup struck out at least once against Strasburg. Like Scherzer on Friday, Strasburg allowed just three hits. “You’re not going to win baseball games punching out that much,” Green said. “We’ve got to find ways to put balls in play. ... You’ve got to lay off the pitches that are in the dirt. There were plenty of buried pitches from Strasburg that were in the dirt. You tip your cap because he’s good and he’s attacking weakness in our hitters. As our hitters get better, they’ll lay off that pitch and get a pitch back in the strike zone.” Matt Albers fanned Cordoba in the eighth. With two outs in the ninth, Koda Glover struck out Hedges, ending the game.

Kier’s best throw was 156-7. “We were going for 1,2 and 3, but we just couldn’t do it,” Pierson said. “I’m ecstatic about getting first.” When Pierson had released the winning throw, he didn’t really think it was going to be the best one he had thrown. On his ensuing throw, he felt that one was better. It wasn’t though, falling just short of the previous toss at 155-5. “Not really,” he said when asked if he felt his first throw of the finals was strong when he released it. “I had a better feeling on the throw after that, but it just didn’t fly. “Hopefully I’ll come back next year and get it again.” Having a strong start to state was something each of the throwers had hoped they would be able to start the event with. It was a moment they enjoyed with the rest of

We need the team points for sure. It ended up working out, as long as we got the team points. “This really relieves the runners of stress of having to do good. Now that they know we got some points up there, they just do their thing, and we try to get it done for a team title.” Immediately following the discus, Nyp and Pierson helped the team score more with a second and fifth place finish in the shot put.

It will be a day spent in solemn remembrance for those who served their country. God bless the USA!

ELLIS

The Veterans of Foreign Wars, Ellis Memorial Post #9139, will be holding Memorial Services at the local Ellis cemeteries this year on May 29th, Memorial Day. We are inviting the general public to help us with decorating the graves of our fallen comrades. On Sunday, May 28 at 3 pm, we will begin at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cemetery by putting a small American flag on each veterans grave. From there we will proceed to Mt. Hope Cemetery and do likewise. There are over 300 graves in all, so this becomes quite a task. Any individual or group help will be greatly appreciated. Monday we will raise the large American flags in the Avenues of Flags at both cemeteries, starting at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at 7 am, then moving to Mt. Hope. There will be 50 flags raised at half mast in honor of the Veterans killed in action. The community is invited and encouraged to attend the Memorial Day services performed by the Ellis VFW Post Honor Guard and Rifle Squad, the VFW Ladies Auxiliary, the EHS band, local clergy speakers and local scout troops. The services begin at St. Johns Cemetery, Monday at 9 am, proceeding to St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cemetery, the Big Creek bridge, the Memorial Park downtown and then to Mt. Hope. Ceremonies will be ending shortly before noon. Hope to see you all there. Ellis School buses will load and depart from the VFW Post at 813 Jefferson at 8:30 AM Monday morning.

Cronin wins national title By The Hays Daily News

BRADENTON, Fla. — Fort Hays State University junior Decano Cronin won the NCAA Division II national championship in the 800-meter run Saturday afternoon, one of two Tigers to earn All-American honors Saturday.

Cronin

Cronin is the first national champion at Fort Hays since Christa Bergmann won the indoor weight throw in 2011. He is the first male to win a title since 2008 (Bryan Haynes in the 200-meter dash), and the first outdoor male athlete since 2001.

Cronin won the race in 1 minute, 49.75 seconds. Brett Meyer also earned All-American honors, finishing seventh in the 800, completing the race in 1:50.96. Alexcia Deutscher finished 10th in the javelin at 145-10, just three feet from advancing to the finals. Kolt Newell was 19th for FHSU in the high jump, clearing 6-7.

Ness City’s Stiawalt golden again By VINNY BENEDETTO vbenedetto@dailynews.net

WICHITA — It wasn’t quite the same haul it was a year ago, but Ness City High School’s Chandler Stiawalt added another gold medal to his collection and brought home an accompanying silver and bronze from the weekend’s state track and field meet at Cessna Stadium. While it wasn’t the trio of golds he took home in 2016, the senior seemed content with his marks. “I see it as last year I got lucky, and this year my competitors, they got better marks, but so did I,” Stiawalt said. “Today was some of their lucky days, and maybe me not so much.” After sweeping the jumps as a junior, the Wichita State signee repeated in the triple jump. His sixth and final jump of 45 feet, 5.75 inches was good for gold. Stiawalt settled for second in the long jump, going 21-4.75. Herrington’s Jonathan Lollar won the event with a 22-1.5. “I’m happy with the way triple jump ended, not so happy about long jump,” the senior said. “That wasn’t the best jumps today.” The high-flying Eagles’ bronze came in the high jump where he topped out at 6-foot-4.

Simpson grabs lead at Colonial By JIMMY BURCH Tribune News Service

FORT WORTH, Texas — For five consecutive seasons, Webb Simpson skipped the opportunity to play in Fort Worth’s annual PGA Tour stop because he missed the cut in his first two visits to “Hogan’s Alley.” That approach changed last year for the 2012 U.S. Open champion.

Webb Simpson hits from the sixth tee during the third round of the Dean & DeLuca Invitational at Colonial Country Club on Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas. of 69, 65, 67, 67, 68, 68, 66 and 67 in his past eight trips around Colonial’s par-70 venue, starting with the final round of the 2010 event. Only four players in tournament history have broken par in more than eight consecutive rounds, led by two-time champ Zach Johnson (15). Simpson ran his streak to eight in a row with a sharp round of ball-striking. He found 14 of 18 greens in regulation while making four birdie putts ranging between six and 15 feet. The lone bogey was a three-putt from 61 feet on No. 8. Not surprisingly, Simpson considers his return to Fort Worth for last year’s event, where he finished third to Jordan Spieth, as one of his savvier decisions of recent vintage. “I’m glad I’m back,” Simpson said. “Should be on the calendar for a few years now.” Spieth, the defending champion, remained in contention for a title defense with a third-round 68 on a day when caddie Michael Greller bowed out after 11 holes because of heat exhaustion. Spieth, who stands five strokes off the lead, said Greller is expected back for Sunday’s final round. Spieth is part of a five-player group at 4-under with Masters champ Sergio Garcia. Because of the potential

for overnight storms, tournament officials have grouped players in groups of three for the final round, with golfers starting rounds at No. 1 and No. 10. The earliest groups begin play at 10:14 a.m. The leaders begin at 12:15 p.m. on the first tee. The use of threesomes means that Simpson will be joined by Casey and Lee, both of whom bagged birdies at No. 18 to conclude their third rounds and carry some momentum into Sunday’s showdown with Simpson. Lee called his 16-foot birdie putt on the final hole something he “really needed” to cap a round when he was indecisive about club selection. Casey, who fired a third-round 68, is the only player in the field who has joined Simpson in breaking par in each of the first three rounds this week. The No. 14 player in the world golf rankings, who began the week with a 68.07 career scoring average at Colonial, cited a “good calmness” he feels when competing in Fort Worth that he plans to tap into again Sunday. “It’s still a stacked leader board, a lot of brilliant guys near the top of it,” Casey said. “But I feel a pretty good calmness. I feel like I’m one of the favorites ... There is more calm (in this situation) than there used to be.”

SUMMER JOBS: PET CARE

A survey showed 74 percent of employers plan to hire recent graduates, the highest outlook since 2007.

Job market looking up for college grads

uhlenberg (PA) College senior Aliya Gangji wasn’t sure what to expect with her recent job search, but within just a few weeks the computer science major was offered a full-time job with IBM North America. Gangji, 21, of Bethlehem, Pa., has two internships on her resume, but no full-time experience in her chosen field. Gangji will be part of IBM’s Consulting by Degrees program, which offers full-time jobs to fresh college graduates and includes focused training, one-on-one mentoring and career guidance during the first two years of employment. Gangji just graduated from Muhlenberg and will move to New York City in August to begin her job with IBM’s analytics team. The company is among a growing number of employers who, according to a recent CareerBuilder survey, are intent on hiring new college graduates this year, making this one of the most favorable job markets for new workers in recent memory. The national survey showed 74 percent of employers plan to hire recent graduates, up from 67 percent last year and the highest outlook since 2007. The survey was conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of CareerBuilder between Feb. 16 and March 9 and included 2,380 hiring managers and human resource professionals from various industries and companies in the private sector. Employers and business officials say recent grads are hard workers who are comfortable with various technology platforms and bring a fresh perspective to the workforce. “Millennials are really bright,” said Tony Iannelli, president and CEO of the Greater Lehigh (PA) Valley Chamber of Commerce. “They are understanding of social media and the ability to get business done electronically, which is changing at such a rapid pace that businesses need people who are schooled in that area to keep abreast of the competition.” Kerri Gardi, director of career development at Kutztown University, said the university’s annual job fair didn’t have enough room for all of the businesses that wanted to attend. Drop-off boxes were set up for students interested in submitting resumes to those companies. “I think employers are just looking for green talent, talent they can shape, and students come out with loan debt and are hungry and ready to start their career,” Gardi said. The CareerBuilder survey included a list of the most in-demand majors, with the top three being business, engineering and computer and information sciences. While certain majors might attract more attention than others, employers are increasingly looking for students with the ability to communicate and improvise on the job in addi-

tion to the technical knowledge that comes with a degree. According to the survey, 44 percent of employers said that although they plan to hire more recent college grads, they have concerns that too much emphasis is still being placed on book learning instead of real-world skills. A 2017 Job Outlook study published by the National Association of Colleges and Employers in Bethlehem said that beyond a solid GPA, employers are looking for candidates able to demonstrate strong teamwork, problem solving and written communication skills. Bret Ludlow, director of business development at Liquid Interactive, a digital marketing agency, said he specifically looks for work ethic, an ability to speak one’s mind and jump right into an “all-hands-on-deck” work culture. Heidi Schiffman, president of KidStuff Coupon Books, said about 30 percent of the company’s more than 70 employees is millennials. KidStuff produces family friendly coupon books sold through school districts in 15 states. “The college students we hire are phenomenal with computers and technology. They are great at researching and multitasking,” Schiffman said. When hiring recent college graduates, she looks for students who are selfmotivated, have a good work ethic and are friendly. Although the job market is looking up for new employees, it doesn’t mean job searches will be easy. Nick Gorrie graduated from Kutztown University last year with a communications degree and minors in electronic media and public relations. He spent the majority of his senior year looking for jobs before eventually landing a position as a digital marketing specialist at Altitude Marketing in Emmaus, Pa. Joining a few campus clubs and having a minor “doesn’t cut it anymore,” he said. During the winter break of his senior year, Gorrie completed free online certifications through Google in digital marketing. “I put those certifications at the top of my resume,” he said. “I didn’t get any kind of extra credit for the classes. I did it because I knew it could potentially help me down the road, and it just so happened that it caught my employer’s eye,” he said. — Christina Tatu, Morning Call (Allentown, Pa.)

Interested in caring for pets? Checklist for being a dog sitter

When dog owners are away at work or on vacation, one of their priorities is to make sure that their dog is well cared for while they’re away. This usually means putting them in the care of a pet sitter. So, for a part-time or summer job, why not be the person pet owners count on to deliver great care and service? The American Kennel Club provides a helpful checklist of everything you should know about the duties assoaciated with pet sitting: • Maintain the same routine: Keeping the dog on the usual schedule while they’re away to help make the transition easier and even prevent accidents. Request a detailed breakdown of when to walk and feed the dog. • Pay heed to house rules: Just because the owners are away doesn’t mean the pet gets to break the rules. Make sure you know what the dog is and isn’t allowed to do in the house. • Emergency contact information: Make sure there’s a backup person you can call if the owners are unreachable. Don’t forget to get emergency vet contact info in the event the dog gets sick or injured. If the owenrs are going on vacation, get the name and number of the hotel, as well as their itinerary. • Get list of medications and conditions: You should should know of any medical conditions or allergies to report in case you need to reach the dog’s vet for assistance. • Get a credit card and authorization letter: You’ll need this in the case of an emergency vet visit. Make sure they include a signed letter stating that you have permission for the vet’s office to use the card for pet care. • Request extra food and supplies at home: If the owners are going on vacation, make sure you have enough food, medications, doggie bags and other supplies on hand in case their return is delayed. If the thought of applying for or making yourself available for dog sitting and potentially dog walking services sounds like a good idea, be prepared to answer these questions from the people at FETCH! Pet Care, which specializes in at-home pet care: • Do you have at least three good references? • Can you accommodate both the pet’s daily schedule and the vacation schedule? • Will you be willing to arrange a free “meet-andgreet” with owner and pet(s) before the vacation? • Do you have established fees to quote over the phone? • Do you know animal first aid? — American Kennel Club
