Hillsboro volleyball team celebrates a hot time at home sub-state Hillsboro senior volleyball players raise the championship plaque they and their teammates captured on their home court Saturday at the Class 3A sub-state tournament. Pictured from left are Julie Sinclair, Shelley Arnold, Bradli Nowak, Tara Proffitt and Emily Jost (Lakyn Johnson not in the shot). The Trojans competed in a gymnasium where temperatures approached triple digits—thanks to outdoor temperatures in the 90s. The Trojans, defending champions in their one season in 2A, will return to the site of that conquest, White Auditorium in Emporia, for the 3A state tournament this weekend. For details about sub-state accomplishments, see Sports, Page 1B.

Athletes from Tabor College are reading books to elementary school students in Marion and Hillsboro as participants in the NAIA Champions of Character program. This is the fifth year in a row that athletes from Tabor College have participated in the program, but the first year the entire athletic department has participated in a reading program for local schools. Each athletic team at Tabor sends eight to 10 athletes to Marion Elementary

School on Tuesdays and to Hillsboro Elementary School on Thursdays. The program began Sept. 17 and runs through Nov. 19. Karol Hunt, associate athletic director and coordinator for this program, encourages students to participate for various reasons. “Outreach is an important component of Champions of Character,” Hunt said. “It’s a focus on campus, but we want to have an impact in the community as well. n See Athletes, Page 5A

Schools taking precautions for pertussis BY

Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, has been confirmed in Marion County, according to health officials. While the number of children affected by pertussis is small, local schools are taking precautions to

ensure the safety of students. Alissa Unruh, a registered nurse for USD 410 in Hillsboro, said prevention is the key. “Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory disease,” she said, “and it can be serious in children up to 7 years old, and in those not

completely immunized against it.” The bacteria is spread by inhaling infected droplets of a coughing or sneezing child, she said. At increased risk, she added, are those having direct contact with individuals exposed to an infected child.

Unruh suggests if a child is diagnosed by a doctor with pertussis, the school should be notified. At that point, she added, the school could request children be kept home from school and activities until they are on antibiotics to treat the illness. n See Schools, Page 7A

EDITORIALS

Our non-endorsement n If we were inclined to endorse candidates, we could not endorse Gov. Sam Brownback.

ver the years, it has been our practice not to endorse candidates running for elected office. Technically, we are continuing that tradition as we near the Nov. 4 election. But this year we cannot remain silent when it comes to the governor’s race. The stakes simply are too high. We want you to know why we would not endorse Sam Brownback for a second term. COMPETENCE. Gov. Brownback set out to build the state’s future on a philosophical foundation that crumbled two decades ago: supply-side economics, which claims that tax cuts boost the economy so much that they practically pay for themselves. The financial fallout from the governor’s “real live experiment” speaks for itself. In the recently completed fiscal year 2014, state revenue dropped $688 million from the year before, and Kansas spent $329 million more than it took in. Three months into fiscal year 2015, revenue remains below last year’s levels, placing the state on a track to exceed receipts by more than $650 million. Kansas’s credit rating has been lowered twice within the past year. Duane Goossen, a Marion County native who served as budget director for three governors, stated last week: “The state’s savings account does not have enough money left to cover the difference between rising expenses and falling revenue.” He is convinced schools and services are destined for deeper cuts even as our governor touts his economic accomplishments. COMPATABILITY. Gov. Brownback is out of step with the majority of Kansans who believe one of the state’s primary obligations is to adequately fund a top-notch, public-school education for our children. We in Marion County have witnessed the negative impact of our governor’s budget leadership. Our schools have had to pull back; meanwhile, the governor’s allies are pushing for more deep cuts to fix the budget imbalance. Bob Brookens, who represented us in Topeka from 2009-12, noted recently: “Kansas was built on its system of public education and it will live or die by its public education. Tearing it to shreds is not good for Marion County and could be fatal for Kansas. Companies don’t come to Kansas for its low income tax. They come because we have had good schools where people can live and raise families.” Gov. Brownback also is out of step with rural Kansas. Two fundamental shifts are under way in state and local finance. First, Brownback’s actions are pushing state obligations to the local level and moving the state and local tax burden from wealthy income taxpayers onto local property taxpayers. Second, as a result of these actions, property taxpayers in rural jurisdictions are bearing the primary burden of this shift, with tax increases dramatically higher than those in urban areas. Ask our county commissioners about their struggle to maintain even basic services in Marion County with ever-shrinking support from Topeka. Our city and education leaders feel it, too. It’s not all their fault services are declining while your property taxes are rising. CHARACTER. All politicians make selective use of facts and data, but Gov. Sam Brownback has raised the spin bar to the level of plain-old deceit. One example from his campaign script: Brownback repeatedly has said he inherited a mere $876 in the treasury when he took office, and through his governance converted it into a $500 million surplus in two years. The truth? Money was flowing into the state treasury when Brownback took office in January 2011 because his predecessor, Democrat Mark Parkinson, signed into law a one-cent sales tax increase to rescue Kansas from the devastating effects of the 2008 recession. (The bill included a three-year sunset clause; for the record, it was our governor who made most of that tax permanent.) The state had $251 million in its bank account when Brownback was sworn in; the revenue flow was strong until his income tax cuts kicked in. More troubling, in recent days Brownback has linked his opponent to the court’s decision to overturn the penalty in the Carr brothers murder case. What man of character would seek political gain by dragging those Wichita families through their darkest days? Paul Davis had nothing to do with any of that—except he happened to know one of the victims from high school days. Competency. Compatability. Character. If it were our tradition to endorse candidates, we could not endorse Gov. Sam Brownback for a second term based on his record. Our best advice as Nov. 4 nears: Set aside political labels for a moment; do the research rather than depend on TV ads; cast an informed ballot. —DR

A chance to relive past fun

t’s not too often that you get to go back in time. Everyone is always moving forward, and the past moves into the rearview mirror quicker than anyone ever expects, so going AS I SEE IT back isn't in the cards. While we didn't hop Joey Young into a Delorean, and I am pretty sure we didn't get up to 88 miles-per-hour, two of my best friends and former roommates packed into a car and drove six hours south to Dallas for another friend's wedding last week. Our lives are different than they were when we lived in the house we all roomed together in. We are several years older, one has children, the other has three dogs and is happily married to another friend of ours, and I am now happily married and stay busy with this newspaper company. We don't all work at Applebee's, stay up ’til 3 or 4 a.m. and gallivant all around town without a care in the world anymore. Typically, when we all hang out, our wives come, sometimes the kids, and we typically have a larger group. It's always fun but never quite the same as when we were all younger—you get the picture. I honestly can't remember the last

time the three of us hung out together, and we were preparing for a five-day journey, all sharing a suite hotel room, and hours away from our normal responsibilities. We rehashed stories, created new ones, and generally had a pretty great time. We all had a short moment of realization two days into the excursion, though: when will we get a chance to do this again? It's like it was eight to 10 years ago again. None of us had any idea when our next blast into the past would occur, but it certainly had me trying to get the most out of the weekend as possible. There was a bachelor party, our friend got married, seems very happy, and we left very excited for their future together. The next day, we packed our bags and headed north. The weekend was over, minus a short delay in Norman to watch the Chiefs dismantle the Rams. We all had a great time, and I was very happy I took the time from my busy schedule to make sure it happened. The moral of the story is: take time to enjoy life, great friends, and sometimes go back in time. It's worth it to relive those times, see friends, and make new memories. Things get busy, but don't forget to live and enjoy those people who helped shape who you are today.

Last reflections on Europe trip

hen I finished writing about my trip to Europe this summer it was almost as bittersweet as coming back from the trip itself. I didn’t want it to end. HORIZONS So when I sat down to begin this column, I Bailey couldn’t keep my mind Kaufman from continuously wandering back to memories of my trip. Writing about my adventures was so easy and fun. After giving up on the other weak ideas I was trying to make work, I’ve decided I’ll squeak out one more column about my trip to England, France and Italy. I realized that, while I gave descriptive accounts of my trip in my previous columns, I hadn’t talked much about what I learned, what I felt and what I took away from the trip in general. I didn’t just spend my trip gazing in awe at famous landmark (although I did do a lot of that). For starters, I gained a broader perspective on the world I live in. I have never felt more foreign than I did when it would take me several minutes just to figure out how many pounds I needed to pay for my souvenirs at a London gift shop or when I’d turn on the TV to an episode of “The Cosby Show” in Italian. I found it so incredible that the new cultures I was experiencing were normal life for the people who lived there. Even though I’ve only seen a small fraction of

the world now, this trip gave me a better appreciation for the diversity of people and cultures. I also learned a lot about myself on this trip. I love to travel and I’ve known that for many years now. On this trip, I was reminded why I love it so much. I love seeing a part of God’s creation that I’ve never seen before. I absolutely love learning the history of a place that dates all the way back to ancient times. Not only do I love experiencing it for myself, I love sharing my experiences with others. Whether it be writing about them, talking about them, showing pictures of them or, ideally, helping others have the opportunity to experience the same places themselves, I definitely don’t want to keep my travels to myself. I want to be a teacher leader for similar tours someday and I want to make the trips as accessible and affordable as possible for my future students. One of my favorite parts of this trip was the people. I got to explore Europe with some really great friends. Most of my best memories involve people rather than places. One of the worst parts about going on vacation is having to come back to “real life.” As I sit through boring college classes, I wish with everything in me that I could be back eating a baguette beside the Eiffel Tower or riding a bus through the beautiful Italian countryside. The beautiful thing about memories, though, is that my friends and I can still laugh about the funny parts of our trip n See Kaufman, Page 5A

know people have different styles when it comes to managing the papers and stuff you accumulate PARTLY over the NONSENSE years while Joel Klaassen running a company or managing an area of the business. Mine over the past 17 years or so has been to stack things higher and higher in the hopes that the huge pile doesn’t fall over. Since I haven’t had an office for at least five years, my stuff had become too much to manage lately. So this past weekend I carried all of it to our inserting area, where we have quite a few tables that do not have anything on them—except for Tuesdays, when we insert the preprints that go in the newspaper. My back was aching just hauling it all over there, and it took quite a few hours to go through it all. Some of it brought back memories of things I have done and already forgotten. I saved some of the material for Joey to go through for his information, if he wishes. He hasn’t seen the big stack, but soon will. n It seems really wrong to drive to a football game at the end of October and run the AC in the vehicle. It was so hot at the Tabor football game Saturday that I sought the shelter of the press box for shade. n Bye weeks aren’t just for the players. The fans need one, too, if you happen to be a KU fan. The players are a bit beat up and so am I. n I had heard I won the Relay for Life quilt and it turns out I did. I received it Saturday afternoon. I am trying to come up with an idea how I can use it for good, like raise more money for cancer research. If anyone has an idea, I would welcome it. n Speaking of unseasonably hot temperatures, the Sub-state 3A volleyball tournament in Hillsboro was a hot one in more ways than one. Who knew when the sites were chosen that it would be 90 degrees outside? Some of the fans were complaining about the hot temps in the gymnasium. I thought it was a bit warm, but it was the same temperature for all of the teams. It was obvious to me how much teamwork plays into the scheme of things n When Dr. Brown was in charge of building the “new” gymnasium more than 20 years ago, I am sure the question of installing air-conditioning came up. I bet he decided for the 10 or so times per year that AC was needed, it wasn’t worth the expense. n I would like to thank HHS Athletic Director Greg Brown for giving our staff the opportunity to produce the sub-state programs. Instead of the advertising money going to an outof-state firm, it stayed at home where it will recirculate locally. I know the advertisers appreciated the much-reduced prices. The programs were printed in town as well, and accomplishing all of this also took team work. If you wish to share your comments or ideas, my email address is joel@ hillsborofreepress.com.

LETTERS Some reality for governor’s ‘Becky’ I feel so sorry for “poor Becky.” You know, the woman from Topeka with the sad eyes in Gov. Brownback’s ad who looks like your next-door neighbor? She says she can’t vote for Paul Davis because he raised her taxes. I’d like to let her know that Paul voted for a tax increase in 2009 in the middle of a recession, along with a bunch of us Republicans, and that 1-cent increase helped soften the recession in Kansas. I’d also like to tell Becky that Paul Davis negotiated for much of the increase to “go away” at the end of 2013; and it would have, except Gov. Brownback partially repealed the tax sunset. So don’t blame Paul; blame Gov. Brownback if you think your sales tax is too high, Becky. By the way, in 2010 a poll was taken in Marion County about that 1-cent sales tax increase. Eightytwo percent of the Marion County people polled approved. I like to think maybe you all read my column, you understood its purpose, because two months after the poll you returned me to Topeka as your representative. Thank-you. It was a privilege to serve on your behalf. And if you think it’s unfair when wage earners pay Kansas income tax but their bosses and landlords don’t, it was Gov. Brownback who pushed that tax bill; Paul voted against it, Becky. FYI, I’m one of those bosses, and I voted against it, too. Bob Brookens Former Dist. 70 rep. Marion

and remember how we felt while seeing the amazing sights. My next column will be about a different topic (although I thought this one would be too) but the lessons I learned and the memories I made on this trip will forever be written in my mind and in my heart. I’ve loved sharing my travel memories with you through these past few columns but now I want to hear about your travels. Email me your favorite travel stories, whether they’re from a trip across the state or a trip across the ocean. I love hearing about other peoples’ travels as much as I love sharing about my own.

he Internet is full of promises of desserts baked in mugs in the microwave. To be honest, I haven’t always had a ton of luck with the SPICE UP different “cake in a YOUR LIFE mug” recipes out Lindsey there. I feel like Young Goldilocks as I wade through the recipes. Some are too moist, some are too dry, and only a few are just right. I was skeptical this week when I found a recipe that promised to give me a single-serving cookie in a mug in under five minutes, but I got my hopes up and mixed one up. The good news: it was good. The bad news: it was easy. It’s probably unfortunate for me to know I can whip up a cookie in less than five minutes at any moment, but I’m sure this knowledge will come in handy on bad days

when I need a little dessert in my life. I found this recipe on a blog called “Jo and Sue.” You can find the original at http://joandsue.blogspot.ca/ 2012/03/5-minute-chocolate-chipcookie.html. *** Five-Minute Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients 1 tablespoon butter, slightly softened 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon brown sugar two dashes of vanilla a pinch of salt 1 egg yolk 3 tablespoons flour 1 1/2 tablespoons chocolate chips (I used M&Ms) Directions Place the butter and sugars into a microwave-safe bowl or mug. Mix with a fork until they are well-incorporated. Mix in the vanilla and salt.

Add the egg yolk (you can save the white for your guilt-free breakfast in the morning after your guilty snack) and stir well. Mix in the flour, and then add the chocolate chips. Microwave on high for 40 seconds. If the cookie isn’t as done as you would like, microwave in 10-second increments until it is. (Mine was done in 60 seconds.) *** Be careful, because the mug will be hot. If you’re like me, you’ll have a hard time waiting until the cookie is cooled before digging in. This isn’t exactly like a traditional cookie, but the flavors are there, and it’s a fast way to satisfy your sweet tooth, which is always a win in my book.

“With Tabor being in a rural community, we wanted to develop a Champions of Character program to highlight the resources available to us,” she added. “That led to forming a reading program for Hillsboro and Marion elementary schools.” The athletes read books that the NAIA has identified, but some schools also supplement with other quality character building selections. Evan Yoder, HES principal, said, “The Champions of Character reading program has been tremendously popular at HES. Our

Justin Wasmuth, MES principal, agreed with Yoder. “Our students love having someone that engages them in an activity, like the lunch reading program,” Wasmuth said. “It does help that they are athletes, but it gives them another role model to look up to and be excited to connect with them.” Athletes say they appreciate being able interact with students and show them how important reading is to their education. “Getting the opportunity to read to elementary students is a great way to give back to the community,” said Lauren Massey, Tabor senior softball player.

“Spending time with children around the area was so much fun for both us and them.” The athletes will continue this program next semester beginning in February. Tabor has been a Five Star Champion of Character Institution for five consecutive years. The NAIA Champions of Character program encourages students to serve the common good and provide servant leadership for those in the community. The core values for Champions of Character are integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship and servant leadership.

Tabor College has unveiled a new masters in business administration degree program, with concentration in accounting, to be offered on the Hillsboro campus starting in July 2015. The MBA program will allow students to take the certified public accountant exam upon completion. The 10-month program consists of 33 semester hours. Six hours would be taken in a hybrid format, part online and part on campus. These courses would begin in late July and end in August before the beginning of the fall semester. A student would take 12 hours of course work during the fall, an Interterm trip—included in the cost of tuition—and take 12 hours in the spring (three courses and a three-hour practicum). The estimated cost of the program is $15,500, which includes the Interterm trip and a tablet or laptop computer with software needed for the program. Federal financial aid can be available for the program. Norm Hope, professor of business administration, said there is a need for this type of program. “The Tabor College business department is excited to provide current and future students the opportunity to earn their masters of business administration in accounting on our Hillsboro campus,” Hope said. “This program sets us apart by offering a faithbased MBA, which prepares the next generation of accounting professionals for a dynamic and changing business environment. “Requiring domestic and international field experience provides students an opportunity to learn beyond the traditional classroom,” he added. “The program

prepares students for a career in public accounting or industry by providing real-world and classroom experience.” Most of the students matriculating to the integrated accounting MBA would come from Tabor undergraduate students. They would enroll at Tabor as freshman, complete the undergraduate program in accounting and then complete the graduate course work for the accounting masters. Students who would be successful in completing the graduate program would tend to have an undergraduate grade-point average of 3.0 or higher. Tabor will not require the graduate management admission test for admission. However, students transferring into the program for the fifth year must complete the requirements of the college’s undergraduate degree in accounting before graduating with the integrated MBA in accounting degree. Jules Glanzer, president of Tabor College, said, “The MBA in accounting is meeting a need we are perceiving with our students and prospective students. Most future job projections list accounting as one of the employment needs of the future. With our strong business program, this is a natural to expand the accounting major to better serve our students.” One of the important aspects of the program will be the placement of students in businesses in the community, as well as with the city and local community economic development organizations. As part of the planning for the program, the business department faculty will conduct a series of n See MBA, Page 10A

It’s a grocery store—it’s not a super store.” Hefley said that could change, even as he has made changes recently in his own business. “I think being light on your feet is a good thing,” Paine responded. He said a review of Hillsboro’s history during recent decades shows that businesses change and adapt, and they come and go. “I think any business in this town that thinks they’re going to have one simple business plan that goes for 40, 50 years is crazy,” Paine added. “It’s an adapting process.” Paine accepted Hefley’s apology and thanked him for coming to the meeting.

school left and winter is coming up, so we might see a bit of an uptick coming.” Marion Middle School principal Missy Stubenhofer said no incidents of whooping cough have been reported. “Our attendance has been very good this first nine weeks,” she said. “We have not seen any lengthy illnesses of any sort, so far.” Ron Traxson, Peabody Public School superintendent, said other than the “usual bugs,” the district hasn’t seen any incidents of whooping cough. But regarding the possibility of students having this illness, Traxson said the district is encouraging pertussis vaccinations as part of routine childhood immunizations. “In the district’s October newsletter,” he said, “parents are urged to make sure their children’s immunizations are current.” Max Heinrichs, principal at Hillsboro High School, said: “At this point, we have had no pertussis that he knows of.” Symptoms In mid-October when health officials starting seeing a small number of cases, schools within the district provided information to help parents, Unruh said. Some of the symptoms parents were asked to watch included runny or stuffedup nose, sneezing, mild

cough and, in infants, a pause in breathing. After one to two weeks, coughing, which can be severe, starts. Children and babies can cough very hard, over and over. When children gasp for breath after a coughing fit, they make a “whooping” sound, but babies might not make this sound. Officials also explained that these coughing fits make it hard for a person to breathe, eat, drink or sleep. “Coughing may happen more at night,” Unruh said. Sometimes, these coughing fits can last up to 10 weeks and recur with the next respiratory illness. Recommendations Some of the recommendations Unruh and other health officials advice parents include: n reviewing their children’s health record to determine their vaccination status. n observing any symptoms a child might have such as a runny nose; sudden, uncontrollable bursts or spells of coughing that persist and sometimes can cause vomiting. n visiting with their child’s care provider if cold symptoms and cough persist for more than two weeks, without other explanation. n allowing children to return to school, if their med-

ical condition allows, five days after starting appropriate antibiotics. Vaccinations Marion County health professionals also are offering the following reminders regarding pertussis-containing vaccines for various age groups. Children under age 7 should have the following vaccination series: DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis) at 2, 4 and 6 months; first booster at 15 to 18 months old; and second booster at 4 to 6 years of age. Children ages 7 through 10 should have received a dose of Tdap (diphtheria and pertussis) at the earliest opportunity. Children ages 11 and 12 should receive a Tdap booster. Teens that have not yet had that booster should get one. Adults that have not received a dose of Tdap should receive a dose or consult with their primary care physician. Infants under a year are mostly likely to experience severe illness if they develop pertussis. When possible, health officials urge young infants should be kept away from people with a cough. For more information on pertussis or getting vaccinated, call the Marion County Health Department at 620-382-2550.

Area school reports According to information provided by local school officials, only a slight number of cases have been reported. Justin Wasmuth, principal at Marion Elementary School, said they have had one confirmed case of pertussis. “The parents saw the signs over the weekend about a month and a half ago and kept the child out of school for the recommended period of time of five days after the antibiotics started,” he said. Wasmuth said he and other staff members also had conversations with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the health department about handling the situation and further communication with families. “We did send a letter home to parents about increased awareness about infectious diseases and signs to look for,” he said. “When parents report any symptoms or concerns, we recommend to parents that they see their family physicians as soon as possible.” Regarding absenteeism, Wasmuth said MES is “very close” to last year’s numbers. “We still have lots of

Goessel council addresses dog waste BY

www.hillsborofreepress.com

CYNTHIA GOERZEN

The Free Press

The Goessel City Council discussed the issue of dog litter on city sidewalks during its Oct. 20 meeting. Councilor Larry Lindeman said he had received four complaints of dog litter on city sidewalks in the past two weeks. Some people had stepped in it. The council encourages gog owners to carry a bag and a scoop with them to clean up the mess when they walk their dogs. If the problem continues, the council acknowledged they may need to pass an ordinance that would require dog owners to clean up their dog messes. The council discussed the possibility of installing an “outdoor pet station”— receptacle for dog walkers to deposit their bag of pet waste. Streets discussion The council invited Rosemary Saunders, a senior consultant with Ranson Financial Consultants in Wichita, to discuss possible funding options for repaving Main Street in the future. Saunders mentioned three funding options: a Kansas Department of Commerce Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Rural Development Community Facility

Program and general obligation bonds. According to Saunders, a CDBG would require the city to conduct a door-todoor survey to determine eligibility based on income. It is a matching grant; it would not provide full funding. The matching money could be funded through a loan or bond. The council continued street discussion with Randy Dallke, Marion County commissioner. He invited the council to “let us know” if it needs help. “If you need me here, I'll be here,” he said.” The council made no decisions about streets at this meeting. Water rates The council delayed action on water rates. City Clerk Jennifer Whitehead had prepared data on the city’s water rates compared to the Kansas state average. The state’s minimum average is $13.27, compared to Goessel’s minimum rate of $9.85. The state’s minimum average for 5,000 gallons of water plus the minimum is $25.53, compared to Goessel's $21.09 rate. Whitehead compared the state’s average rates and Goessel’s rates for 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 and 30,000 gallons. Goessel’s rate is lower for every amount.

Consequently, Goessel has had more water expenditures than water receipts. The year-to-date expenditures for the water fund total $82,695, while the yearto-date receipts have been only $81,638, for a year-todate deficit of $1,057.80. It was noted that if the city would apply for a water grant, it would not qualify because the water rates are too low. Ballfield irrigation On a related note, the council discussed the possibility of drilling a well for watering the baseball diamonds. Mayor Dave Schrag had found it might cost $19 a foot to drill one. No one knows at this time how deep a well might need to be. Councilor Jim Wiens suggested an “exploratory well” at the ballfield to see if water might be available. He said a well for the ball diamonds would take some pressure off the city’s wells. Public Works Assistant Cindy Gaddis suggested more baseball activities at the ball field: “Is there any way we can use it more than two months out of the year?” It was noted that the concession building at the baseball field is available for rent year-round. Lindeman said the city office can be contacted for information about cost and for the key.

Other business In other business, the council: n heard that the city cleanup day had gone well. Some residents had asked if the city could hold a cleanup day more than twice a year. Schrag said it is to the city’s benefit to have a clean town. Currently, the city has been organizing two cleanup days per year. The city will look into adding a third cleanup day. n heard from Councilor Larry Schmidt that recycling was going well, although someone had brought trash to the recycling bins. Also, Styrofoam packing had been found in the recycling bins, as well as cat litter. Those items are not allowed. n heard from Public Works Director Karen Dalke that new weather stripping had been applied to the library door. The door still leaks, and the carpet has been getting wet. Dalke found that the door might not be adjusted properly and is looking into fixing the situation. The library’s carpet is still original. Since money had been budgeted for library carpet, the suggestion was made to replace the existing one. n heard there had been vandalism at the city park.

Senior Emily Jost taps the ball over the net during a long volley during the second set of the championship game against Southeast of Saline.

The Hillsboro High School volleyball team proved once again that it can take the heat. The top-seeded Trojans outlasted seven other schools in perhaps the hottest gymnasium in Kansas Saturday to claim another Class 3A sub-state championship and earn the opportunity to pursue its fourth consecutive state title. Though this will be coach Sandy Arnold’s eighth year to take a team to state in 10 years at the helm, she admitted to being relieved to nail down the sub-state crown. “It wasn’t like I didn’t feel we could do it, it’s just that little thing in the back of your mind that says if we don’t do it, we’re done,” Arnold said. “It’s kind of a relief when you win and get done with it.

Bluejays slip up vs. McPherson Sechrist, Leihy BY JANAE

Missed opportunities and untimely mistakes translated into points left on the field by the 18th-ranked Tabor College football team, leaving the Bluejays trailing McPherson, 15-14, when the final buzzer sounded Saturday. Tabor held a 14-3 advantage going into the final quarter but gave up 12 unanswered points in the fourth period. But Tabor’s misfortune began from the start, as the Bluejays could not capitalize on field position early on. The Bluejays’ first drive began at the McPherson 37yard line after a 6-yard punt by the Bulldogs. But the drive stalled at the Bulldog 10, and Jared Slavens’ 27yard field goal attempt was blocked by Ashton Serpas. After a second short punt by McPherson, Tabor’s next possession ended the same. Jordan Bernhardy’s thirddown pass went through the hands of an open Bruce Smith, then Serpas blocked Slavens’ 41-yard field goal try.

It took a few possessions for the Marion football team’s offense to come to life, but once it did, there was no stopping the Warriors as they rolled to a 56-8 victory over Herington Friday. Marion’s first two possessions ended in a punt and a turnover on downs, and it was the Warrior defense that put the first points on the board. Two plays into Herington’s first drive, Jacob Baldwin tackled Railer quarterback Justin Biehler in the end zone for a safety for an early 2-0 lead. “I just thought we came out pretty lethargically,” coach Grant Thierolf said. “We had such an emotional game last week to play, and then I think kids look at records and scores and stuff like that and get too caught up in that.

The Marion volleyball team faced a familiar opponent in the first round of the Class 3-A sub-state tournament hosted by Hillsboro Saturday. As the No. 3 seed with a 28-8 record, the Warriors were paired against No. 6 Southeast of Saline (20-12), a team Marion had faced— and defeated—just a month before. But the second time around, it was the Trojans who came out on top to live to see another sub-state matchup. Marion came out strong in the first set, leading the majority of the way, and by as many as five points at 149. With the exception of two ties, Marion maintained the advantage for a 23-21 lead. But SES fired off four unanswered points to claim a 25-23 win in Set 1. “(Erica Montgomery’s) just a really tremendous player, and we couldn’t stop her,” coach Brady Hudson said. “We just couldn’t get our blocks up there, couldn’t read their sets. “Our defense held up pretty well, especially in the first set, obviously. Second set, it was a little shaky.” The Trojans’ momentum carried over into Set 2, as

SES burst to a 9-0 lead at the start. The Trojans increased the margin to double figures, 16-5, but Marion responded with a 6-2 run to draw within 18-11. But from there, SES went on to win, 25-13. “Against a team like Southeast of Saline, you can’t just get two or three runs when you’ve dug a hole that big,” Hudson said. “You can’t dig a hole that big in the first place, but when you’re down that much, every ball, every play has to be executed perfectly. It has got to be a great pass, a great set and a great hit, wherever’s the smartest spot to put the ball. “They started reading our tips really well, too. I think that’s what helped us the first time we beat them, was just finding the holes and then tipping and being smart, and they picked up on that really fast.” SES went on to defeat No. 2 Sterling in the semifinals (25-17, 23-25, 25-16) before falling to No. 1 Hillsboro in the championship (25-18, 2325, 25-14). With the loss, Marion concludes the season with an overall record of 28-9 in Hudson’s first year at the helm. “I could not have pictured a better group of girls

The Tabor College volleyball team faced two topthree KCAC opponents last week and lost both games. Kansas Wesleyan—Tabor lost a hard-fought battle Friday, 3-1. After suffering a 25-18 defeat in Set 1, Tabor battled back to win Set 2, 25-21. Sets 2 and 3 were highly contested, but Kansas Wesleyan came out on top by the same margin in both, 26-24. Tabor led, 24-23, in Set 3, and 19-14 in Set 4. Tena Loewen led Tabor’s attack with a game-high 25 kills. Katelin Horstick added 13. Megan Voth and Kelsea Brittain each had 27 assists, and Whitney Maple added 45 digs. Ottawa—Tabor lost to the Braves a second time this season Wednesday, 3-0. Tabor led early in Set 1, but Ottawa tied the game at 13 with a kill and never trailed again en-route to a 25-21 victory. In Set 2, Ottawa claimed the lead from the start and never trailed. The Bluejays drew within 17-16 after a Tena Loewen kill, and later, 18-17, but never took the lead and lost, 25-21. Tabor led early in Set 3, but the teams locked heads at 14. The lead switched hands a few times, and worked to an 18-18 tie. From there, three straight points for the Bluejays gave Tabor a 21-18 lead after a Loewen kill, and after an ace serve

The pass was tipped first by Lott, then snatched up by Serpas. With 5:39 left, the Bulldogs managed what would be the winning score. A 2-yard touchdown run by Cordova capped a nine-play, 40-yard drive. The two-point conversion attempt failed, but McPherson had claimed a 15-14 lead. Tabor got the ball back with 2:24 to go, but Bernhardy was dropped for a loss on first down.

McPherson tallied 162 rushing yards and 49 passing yards. “Message to my team after the game was, we’ve got a long season to go and we’ve still got some more football left,” coach Mike Gardner said. Gardner said his focus moving forward involves “getting through” one game at a time. Coming—Tabor (3-3, 5-3), who dropped to 24th in the NAIA Coaches’ Top 25 poll, will look to snap a two-game losing streak Saturday at Bethany (3-3, 4-4). Game time is 1:30 p.m. “Their offense is very, very good,” Gardner said of Bethany. “Their defense is probably just as good as the ones we’ve faced recently.”

For the second week in a row, the Hillsboro football team was overwhelmed early by a superior football team, losing Friday to the Southeast of Saline Trojans 42-0 at Joel H. Wiens Stadium in Hillsboro. Except for the shutout, this game followed a scenario similar to Hillsboro’s 56-14 loss to Hesston a week earlier. SES raced to a huge (42-0) lead by halftime, and the two teams played the entire second half with a running clock.

One key difference this time was that Hillsboro’s opponent drew first blood, scoring twice in the first two minutes of the game to set the tone. SES quarterback Cody Schlesener ran in from 37 yards on the third play of the game for a 7-0 lead. Hillsboro then fumbled the pooch kickoff, and SES recovered the ball at Hillsboro’s 43-yard line. Consecutive 21- and 22-yard running plays put the visitors in the end zone at the 10:15 mark. “At some point we’ve got

to compete,” coach Lance Sawyer said afterward. “When we’re down 14 we can compete as much as being down zero. The guys have to be more mentally tough.” SES added a third running touchdown with 1:19 left in the first quarter to push the margin to 21-0. After scoring again three minutes into the second quarter, SES tacked on two more touchdowns in the final 1:45 of the half for the 42-0 bulge at intermission. Hillsboro had several

The men placed 14th of 24 teams and were led by Joel Allen, who finished 21st among a field of 215 in 26 minutes, 30.60 seconds. Garrett Daugherty followed close behind, finishing 26th in 26:43.20. “Our men’s team had a solid performance this week and stacked up well against some of the other schools in the conference,” coach Eric Schwab said. “Garrett Daugherty had an exceptional race, possibly his best

Oklahoma City won the meet, and the University of Saint Mary placed second. The Bluejay women, meanwhile, placed 17th of 24 teams, propelled by the 20th-place finish of Hannah Holmes (19:02.90) in a field of 210. “Our women also had a very good outing,” Schwab said. “Hannah Holmes had a breakthrough race and posted a large lifetime best. She is not leading the conference, but she is one of the top runners in the confer-

ence now.” Paula Young was 84th (20:47.80), Katey Whitesell 102nd (21:16.70), Allie Jost 139th (22:14.20), Kaylee Schmidt 156th (22:54.80) and Jessica Vix 192nd (24:59.40).

AREA HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS ROUNDUP CROSS COUNTRY Centre—Nellie Kassebaum qualified for the state cross country meet with an 11th-place finish at the Riley County regional with a time of 20 minutes, 4 seconds. For the boys, CJ Thompson placed 25th in 21:42. Kassebaum will run at state in Wamego Saturday. The Class 1-A girls’ race time is 12:30 p.m. Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for students. Goessel—Led by top-10 finishes by Rachel Manis and Jen Meysing, the Bluebird girls’ team qualified for state by finishing first at the Pleasanton regional Saturday. Manis finished eighth in 18 minutes, 39 seconds among a field of 27, while Meysing placed ninth in 18:40. Both medaled. Julia Nightengale was 15th (20:12), Lauren Rymill 21st (22:23), Laura Volze 22nd (22:24), Max Keyse 24th (22:51) and Maddy Meier 27th (26:07). “Only Goessel and Lebo had enough girls to field a team at this meet, and the championship came down to a tie-breaker factoring in the time of each team’s fifth-place finisher,” coach Brian Lightner said. “I’m very excited for this opportunity for the girls. To represent their school at the state meet is a memory they will not forget.”

Centre—The Cougars lost to Wilson, 42-24, Friday. Centre scored twice in the first quarter, first on a 43-yard touchdown run by Dakota Stimpson and later, on a 36-yard pass from Stimpson to Dylan Dienes. The Cougars added the only score of the second quarter on a 1-yard Stimpson run, but Wilson took a 22-18 lead into halftime and added another touchdown in the third quarter to extend its lead to 28-18.

should a little bit. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we ever had the intensity that we really needed, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring that next week.â&#x20AC;? Starting with their third possession, though, the Marion offense rattled off six consecutive scoring drives, on its way to a 317yard night. Marion tallied 241 yards on the ground, led by Adam Janzen with 19 carries for 150 yards and two scores. Through the air, Baldwin was 3-for-5 for 76 yards and two touchdowns. The Warrior defense did its job, too, limiting the Railers to just 44 yards of

total offense, including 24 passing and 20 rushing. The Railers did not convert a first down until less than 2 minutes remained in the first half. On offense, Herington crossed the 50yard line into Marion territory only once in the first half, and did not enter Warrior territory again until the fourth quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heringtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little undersized, but I thought their kids played hard,â&#x20AC;? Thierolf said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little bit more experienced (and have) a little bit more depth, we were able to wear them out a little bit, but to our kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; credit, I thought our defense played awfully well.â&#x20AC;? The Warrior offense,

meanwhile, kicked off its scoring spree with a 2-yard Janzen run and two-point conversion for a 10-0 lead with 2:12 to go in the opening period. Brad Stone intercepted Biehlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-down pass, and Janzen was in the end zone again just four plays later, this time on a 43-yard scamper. Janzenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-point conversion made it 18-0, a margin that held to the end of the first quarter. Marion proved to be a scoring threat through the air as well, as Baldwin connected with Stone for a 7yard touchdown pass to cap an eight-play, 57-yard drive that increased the lead to 260 after Baldwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-point conversion.

On the sixth play of Marionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next drive, Baldwin completed a pass to Corbin Wheeler, who ran through the Railer defense 75 yards for a score that made it 34-0 after Baldwin added the two-point conversion. Following Heringtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first first-down conversion of the night, Janzen intercepted a Biehler pass and ran it back for his third score of the night. The 38yard pick-six and two-point conversion by Baldwin gave Marion a 42-0 lead, which held to halftime. Biehler was injured on the kickoff return and did not return the duration of the night. With Chase Mayers under center, Herington

fumbled the ball away on the second half â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first possession. Marion needed just four plays to score, this time on a 3-yard run by Seth Snelling. Wheeler added the two-point conversion, making it 50-0. Thierolf began pulling his starters, and Remington Putter snagged an interception three plays into the next drive. With a running clock in place, Marion added a score on a 3-yard run by Tyler Neufeld, increasing the lead to 56-0 by the end of the third quarter. After Herington was forced to turn the ball over on downs, Marion fumbled a pitch and could not fall on the ball, which bounced

dent body and local fan base. “It was fun to have it at home,” Arnold said. “I just like our facilities. It would be nice to have air-conditioning, but I still think it helps—at this point, at least.” Preliminary wins In the opening game, Hillsboro raced to an 8-0 lead in the first set against Lyons, who came in with a record of 10-24, and kept the Lions in single digits to the end. Lyons was in contention at 14-9 in Set 2, but a pair of kills by Alex Ratzlaff sparked a six-point run behind the serving of Julie Sinclair to fuel the Trojans to a 12-point victory. The semifinals turned into a Trojan-fest with three of the four teams sharing the same mascot. The Beloit Trojans (27-8) battled HHS evenly in the first set before Hillsboro took the lead for good at 9-8 on a kill by Emily Jost. Beloit was still within 17-13 when a kill by Ratzlaff ignited a six-point scoring run with Ratzlaff serving

Following are the state pool pairings for Friday at White Auditorium in Emporia.

After Hillsboro achieved a sideout, Lakyn Johnson stepped in and served the rest of the way for the nine-point victory. “I felt if we were getting the ball to the outside quick enough, their blockers were going to be late and we would be able to hit on

them,” Arnold said. “As long as we pound (the ball) a little bit, then we can start putting tips in, and it’s really tough because they don’t know how to guard you. “I also thought we served pretty well to keep their middles out of the game— the two middles were their best players,” she added. “It took us most of the match to figure out how to do it, but we finally started blocking right at the end of the game.” Championship rematch The championship match featured a pair of Trojan squads that had faced off earlier in the season at the Southeast of Saline Invitational. The two teams remained close in the opening set, but with the

score 18-14, Hillsboro took control with a 7-4 finish. Hillsboro’s only stutterstep of the day came in Set 2. The home team led from the start, but a temporary loss of focus turned a 15-11 lead into a 16-17 deficit. The set was tied five times after that, but Hillsboro never regained the lead and ended up losing by two points. “I felt like we got comfortable, like we thought maybe we had it won already,” Arnold said. “We stopped moving our feet, and when you start doing that you’re not going to get good passes, and when your pass doesn’t work then nothing clicks very well. “I told them nobody is going to hand this to you. You’re going to have to beat them. I didn’t ever feel like

we were going to lose, I was just disappointed that we had to play three when we could have done it in two.” Hillsboro was never seriously threatened in the third and deciding set. Whether the visitors finally withered in the heat or the home team finally seized its destiny, Hillsboro slowly but steadily built a lead from 4-4 to the final 10-point margin. “I’m definitely proud of the girls,” Arnold said. “I’ve had some coaches tell me we’re not as strong as we have been. That’s fine, if that’s what they think. But we’re trying to find a way to get to where we were. We’ll use our strengths in any way we can. Hopefully, we’ll surprise some people.” STATE—The Trojans have won three state titles in a row—3A titles in 2011 and 2012, followed by a 2A title last fall.

Silver Lake is No. 1, Hillsboro No. 2 and league rival Hesston is No. 4. “If you want to be the best you’ve got to beat the best,” Arnold said. “You might as well start out right away. You have to be confident. I hope our experience being (at state) will be an advantage to us.” Arnold said her team is still hungry. “My girls won the league preseason tournament, beat Mac, won our tournament, and we win sub-state—and never did my girls act like ‘this is the greatest thing on earth.’ “I think in the back of their minds they know we’re not done yet.
