This summer, young people in Conway Springs and Haysville were able to improve their basketball skills under the tutelage of Jackie Stiles – Kansas basketball legend, college standout and former pro player. For Stiles, a Kansas native from Claflin, the camps bring her back to her days as a kid learning to play basketball. “Camps were a huge part of my development, and I remember what kind of an impact they had on me,” she told TSnews.
Stiles held a number of camps this summer in Kansas, and has a few more planned before the end of the year. She recently left coaching and moved to Springfield, Mo., where she put together one of the best-ever college careers playing for the Southwest Missouri State Bears (now Missouri State). The camps provided a chance to stay with her family in Kansas, and she got help running the camps from her parents and her nephew. Stiles is working to open a fitness studio this year in Springfield. It was a plan that was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but that delay also created the opportunity for her to put together her own camps. “Honestly, it’s been a blessing,” she said of the delay. “The camps are going to be a big part of what I do.” This is not the first time Stiles has conducted basketball camps.

Citywide sales are now popular in many communities in the area and across the country, and they frequently serve as major events that draw people to town. Haysville’s garage sales are hosted by the Friends of the Haysville Library, which benefits the Haysville Community Library. “The one, most crucial thing about it is, it’s the biggest

Students head back to school By Travis Mounts TSnews
Even though temperatures in the 90s and 100s tell us we’re still in the throes of summer, school calendars are telling us it is time for students to return to class. Goddard is the first district in the TSnews coverage area to send students back to school. Most students in Goddard Public Schools are going back to school this Thursday. There are some staggered starts in younger grades, with students with last names starting with the letters A-L going back Thursday, and those with M-Z having their first days on Friday. Other students will return to class next week. Cheney students will begin school on Tuesday, except for the kindergarten students who will return next Thursday. The district will hold kindergarten screenings Aug. 16-17. Haysville Public Schools will see most students return next Wednesday. That group includes students from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade, and high school freshmen. All other middle school and high school students will return next Thursday. Students in Argonia, Clearwater, Conway Springs and Garden Plain go back to school next week on Thursday.
