Keep your jack-o’-lantern from turning moldy, mushy before Halloween

By Matt Kasson

Kansas News Service

For many Americans, pumpkins mean that fall is here. In anticipation, coffee shops, restaurants and grocery stores start their pumpkin flavor promotions in late August, a month before autumn officially begins. And shoppers start buying fresh decorative winter produce, such as pumpkins and turban squash, in the hot, sultry days of late summer.

But these fruits – yes, botanically, pumpkins and squash are fruits – don’t last forever. And they may not even make it to Halloween if you buy and carve them too early.

As a plant pathologist, gardener and self-described pumpkin fanatic, I have both boldly succeeded and miserably failed at growing, properly carving and keeping these iconic winter squash in their prime through the end of October. Here are some tips that can help your epic carving outlast the Day of the Dead.

This may seem obvious, but shop for a pumpkin in the same way that you shop the produce aisle. Whether you plan to carve them or not, choose pumpkins that are not damaged, dented or diseased. Is the stem loose? Is there a clear break in the rind? Are there any water-soaked spots on the exterior?

Post-harvest diseases — those that occur after the pumpkin is removed from the vine —

can happen anywhere between the field where they were grown and your front step. A bruise or crack will allow opportunistic fungi, bacteria, water molds and small insects to invade and colonize your pumpkins. Keeping the rind defect-free and stem intact ensures your prized pumpkin a longer shelf life.

The trip home also matters. Most of us transport pets, kids, muddy hiking boots and food in our cars, which makes our vehicles giant petri dishes harboring common environmental molds and bacteria. Some of those microbes could colonize your unsuspecting pumpkins.

Secure your pumpkins en route to your house so they don’t suffer bruising or stem breakage. My family often uses seat belts to protect ours. Once home, don’t carry your pumpkin by the stem, which can lead to breakage, especially if it is big and heavy.

Pumpkins spend most of their lives in fields, developing on top of soil that teems with fungi, bacteria, water molds and soil-dwelling animals like nematodes, insects and mites.

Removing these organisms, and any eggs they may have affixed to your pumpkin’s rind, will help preserve it.

To get rid of them, wipe down your pumpkins, preferably with a bleach wipe or two.

Obituaries Ronald Ringer

Ronald Lloyd Ringer, 87, of Medicine Lodge, died Oct. 4, 2022, at Hilltop Manor Nursing Center, Cunningham.

He was born on Sept.

24, 1935, at Wichita, the son of Lloyd Ringer and Erma (Elliott) Ringer. Ron was a natural salesman and when he was 5 years old, living in Wichita, he loaded his wagon and walked with a wagonload of newspapers to sell to the waste paper company,well over a mile away.

When Ron was 6, the family moved to the farm north of Harry on Maize Road. His father gave him his first Guernsey calf and he used his tips as a caddie at Westlink Country Club to buy more cattle. The family milked Guernsey cows and sold raw milk. Ron would run his milk route before school. The family was active in the Registered Guernsey Association and had a photo taken with his boys and father, Lloyd, with J.C. Penney at the state Guernsey sale. Moving to the Cheney area, when raw milk was outlawed, he became an investor in Cream O Gold Dairy in Hutchinson and owned the Wichita distributorship, running five retail delivery routes.

Ron went to work after the dairy business for S.C. Johnson & Son and traveled southwest Kansas calling on warehouses and grocery stores. It was during this time that he fell in love with the Medicine Lodge area. He was asked to open a food brokerage for a company. His son, Rodney, was working for another brokerage company when they decided to open their own partnership.

After selling the company for his first retirement, he was bored and purchased R&R Liquor at Central & Anna in Wichita. After selling that business and retiring for the second time, he was bored again and purchased Sportsman Wine & Spirits in Garden Plain. After buying land in Barber County, the store was sold for a third retirement.

Building a new home in Barber County, he opened The Bunkhouse at Wildfire Ranch Bed & Breakfast. Always being a people person, the B&B had guests from 47 states, 30 countries, and more than 250 towns in Kansas, with many becoming regular visitors and friends. He retired for the fourth time at the end of 2020.

Ronald and Charlotte were never shy about making big changes in their lives and doing things with their family while they were young. Working hard and trusting in the Lord, they lived a full life together.

Ronald married Charlotte (Becker) Ringer, who he met at Rock Springs 4-H Ranch, 196 miles from home, even though they lived six miles from each other. They were married 68 years.

Ron was preceded in death by father, Lloyd; mother, Erma (Elliott) Ringer; and brother, Randal.

Ron is survived by wife, Charlotte; sons, Roger and Rodney; brother-in-law, Charles Becker; sister-in-law, Gladys Kerschen; aunt, Shirley (Elliott) Hoppock; and cousins, Sheila (Bill) Roepka, Mark Davis, Marilyn (Elliott) Ralph Snook, Royce (Penny) Elliott, Jill (Gossard) Jeff Foster, Sue (Gossard) Miller, Mike (Polly) Hoppock, and Doug (Nancy) Hoppock.

Rosary service was held at Holy Rosary Catholic Church, Medicine Lodge, on Sunday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m.

Mass of Christian burial was held at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church, Schulte, on Monday, Oct. 10, at 11 a.m.

Interment was at St. Peter’s Cemetery, Schulte.

Educator surprised with Heart of a Teacher Award

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com GODDARD – With several dozen students on hand last Friday, Discovery Intermediate School special education teacher Abby Easter was surprised with a $500 check and the Heart of a Teacher Award from A-R Roofing.

“It is absolutely a surprise,” Easter said.

Easter was nominated

by Kelly Dowd, whose daughter was taught by Easter the past two years.

Her daughter has Downs syndrome.

“In those two years, I witnessed Mrs. Easter consistently going above and beyond to help my daughter in all areas,” Dowd wrote in her nomination letter. “She made learning fun for the kids and really got to know my child. She also accepted and loved her for who she is.”

Dowd wrote that Easter would text, email and send videos of her daughter learning new skills. Dowd noted that Easter continues to be involved with her daughter, even though she is not her teacher anymore.

Easter “even took her out one evening to McDonalds and shopping

at Target. She attends her dance recitals and baseball games and has become one of my daughter’s favorite people, which isn’t easy,” Dowd wrote. “Thank you, Mrs. Easter, for caring for your students as if

they were your own and for always setting high expectations for those who struggle the most with learning.”

Easter also talked about remaining connected to her former student, and to

all her students.

“I still call her, Facetime her, text her, wanting to know about her life,” Easter said. “These kids are my world, and I absolutely insert myself into their lives.”

Easter came to Goddard Public Schools as a para educator, and worked with special needs students.

“I was like, why can’t I do that? I come in and I give it my all every single day,” she said.

Easter had other plans as a student at Emporia State University.

“I got a degree in sociology because I was never going to be a teacher,” she said.

Easter has now been a teacher for six years. The most rewarding part is in the small, daily details, she said. “(It’s) finding the little things in every single day.

Every day, there’s something positive that comes out of it. The days are challenging,” she said. “Finding those positive things and building up those positive things, making the kids find the happy on even their hard days.”

Easter also earned praise from her principal, Jordan Funk, who said that Easter goes above and beyond to support her students. That includes purchasing classroom items with her own money and giving extra time, simply because it helps her students.

“She came up one time to completely redo a room (paint, carpet, add items, etc.) to provide students a place to go if needed in order to support them.

Mrs. Easter really does whatever it takes to make her students successful – a great advocate.”

4-H brought two lives together many years ago

Editor’s note: Ronald “Ronnie” Ringer was a longtime Garden Plain resident who operated the local liquor store with his wife, Charlotte, and son, Roger. This story first appeared in the 2006 Sedgwick County Fair Guide.

He died Oct. 4 in Cunningham. His obituary can be found on Page A2.

By Kathy Goodale TSnews As children, Charlotte and Ronnie Ringer lived five miles from one another for years, yet they didn’t meet until they were both 96 miles from home. They attended different high schools and were involved in different clubs within 4H. Charlotte’s involvement began in 1944 and Ronnie’s in 1945.

It wasn’t until the

summer of 1951 that the Ringers each found their soulmate while stargazing and dancing on a Rock Springs Hillside in Junction City. The romance has stayed strong for 55 years, and they have been married 51 of those years. Charlotte says their secret to a long, successful marriage is based on the good Lord and the fact that they grew up together.

They continued their active involvement within 4H along with their two sons and attended camp where they made many lasting friendships.

Charlotte enjoys seeing adults who were once in her group as children.

A past member recently shared with her that he still bakes cookies, something he learned from her while she was a Foods leader.

Charlotte recalls the Who’s Who group where their involvement allowed them to meet kids from all over the country.

“From this experience, we learned how to meet with people and not to be afraid to express ourselves,” said Charlotte.

Looking back, the Ringers fully realize what they gained from their involvement with 4H. “You learn to think and to get organized. It taught us public speaking and how to get up in front of people,” said Ronnie.

The Ringers have witnessed the many changes that 4H has undergone over the years. They feel that it now accommodates children who live in the city as well as the country.

“The projects have definitely expanded and there are many now that didn’t exist while we were

involved. Gardening, arts and crafts, and photography classes are only a few of many that were offered,” said Charlotte.

The Ringers recently sold their second liquor store and plan to embark on something new.

Their new venture entails moving 10 miles north of Medicine Lodge where they will build a bed and breakfast.

“I look forward to seeing a lot of different people from all over the state with different interests. (Having different interests) is what keeps you young,” said Charlotte.

The 4-H offers endless possibilities, a huge potential for growth, and a wonderful learning experience that will last a lifetime. Who knows… you might even meet the future love of your life there.

Garden Plain hires pool designer despite funding uncertainty

By Sam Jack TSnews

GARDEN PLAIN – During its Oct. 5 meeting, the Garden Plain City Council voted unanimously to hire Waters Edge Aquatic Design to design a municipal pool for the city.

That’s despite uncertainty about how construction of a new pool would be funded.

City treasurer Darren Haukap said that, based on a pool construction cost of

about $2.5 million, the city would be looking at annual debt payments of just under $200,000. Once the pool was built and opened, there would be additional expenses to maintain and run it.

There is not enough money in the current budget to pay those costs.

Haukap said that the city’s 2023 budget includes just $47,000 in excess funds.

If the council decides not to hire a new city administrator, the pay and benefits for that position

– about $114,000 – could also be diverted toward a pool. Garden Plain’s first-ever city administrator, Brian Gartland, resigned in March after a few months on the job.

The 2023 budget numbers already include anticipated revenue from a 1-percent municipal sales tax that voters approved last year.

“I don’t think any of us are under the impression we’re going to make money on this. This is an amenity for the city, for

the population,” council member Brent Randolph said. “There’s got to be ways to pay for these pools, because everybody around us is doing it.”

Funding possibilities that were floated by council members and city clerk Kim McCormick included community fundraising, and an additional quarter or half-percent sales tax that could be designated for a pool. Not mentioned was the possibility of raising additional property tax revenue through an

Haysville Hustle expands boundary Staff Report TSnews

HAYSVILLE – People who ride on the Haysville Hustle can now go farther into Derby for shopping and appointments.

As of Oct. 5, the Haysville Hustle has expanded its destination drop-off boundary. Before, the Haysville Hustle would only go as far east as 63rd Street South and K-15 Highway in Derby.

Now, the Haysville Hustle will go east to Rock Road, where much of Derby’s more recent development has taken place.

“Our hope is this will allow access to many of the shopping centers and doctors that we frequently received requests for,” the City of Haysville said in an online post.

This is for drop-off

locations only. The pick-up boundaries – where riders live or originate their trips – remain the same.

That area is east of Hoover, south of 55th Street South, west of Hydraulic, and north of 95th Street South.

The Haysville Hustle bus service provides low-cost public transportation for City of Haysville residents.

It is a demand-response, or curb-to-curb, service.

It was created to provide affordable and accessible transportation to senior citizens, disabled citizens, and those without dependable private transportation. Service hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday.

Partial funding comes from a Section 5310 grant for enhanced mobility of seniors and individuals with disabilities.

The cost per one-way

ride is a $2 token, which must be purchased in advance at the Haysville Senior Center, 160 E. Karla. Tokens also may be purchased over the phone.

Rides are provided on a first come, first served basis.

To schedule a ride or for more information, call 316e-529-5903.

increase in the city’s mill levy.

All five council members agreed to move the process forward by hiring the Lenexa-based Waters Edge. Waters Edge will create a pool design at a cost of just under $50,000.

That design should also give the city a more accurate cost picture.

In other business: • The council unanimously approved an ordinance rewriting the city’s zoning code book. The new book is available at

the city office and will be linked from gardenplain. com.

• The council voted to replace sensors at the sewer plant, at a cost of $18,840.

• McCormick noted that this was city attorney Shawn Elliott’s last meeting as city attorney. Elliott is running unopposed for a position as a district court judge and expects to take office in January. The new city attorney, Morgan Koon, started Oct. 1.

This would seem like a really poor time to use the phrase “happy as pigs in mud,” but it fits the adventure so very well.

We were all that and more as we spent the afternoon Saturday digging for salt crystals in the heart of one of the most unique natural geographic formations near Kansas – or anywhere, for that matter.

Digging for crystals on the Great Salt Plains has been on our adventure list for a while now. It came up in conversation once when I described the experiences I had had with my kids nearly 30 years ago digging for these crystals.

And ever since then, Kim and I have had it on “the list.”

A year ago, we struck out from our fall retreat in Anthony, and headed south to the Salt Plains to accomplish this adventure.

Much to our chagrin, we arrived at the Salt Plains just a couple of weeks after the area had been closed off for the winter due to the arrival of migrating whooping cranes. Holy smokes, there were clouds of disappointment in the air.

Ever since then, we’ve been planning a return trip for this fall. This time, we double-checked the closure dates for the Salt Plains, and planned a long weekend getaway to southern Kansas/northern Oklahoma for this past weekend.

We had a great time doing all kinds of other adventures – a bicycle tour of Anthony, a tour of the Harper County Courthouse, lunch at the State Line Coop in Manchester,

Okla., and lots of bird watching around the cabin we were renting at Anthony Lake.

But the ultimate adventure for this getaway weekend was digging crystals at the only location on the planet where you can find – and dig for – hourglass selenite crystals.

This place is an incredible experience. Driving out onto the Salt Plains to find the current dig site is like driving on the moon.

The expanse of pure white salt crust on the land stretches out across 11,000 acres in front of you. It is desolate, eerie...and amazingly beautiful, all at the same time.

The dig site for the end of this season was a full mile out onto the Salt Plains, and we were not alone in our enthusiasm to dig for crystals on Saturday. I guessed that about 200 other people were out on the dig site Saturday afternoon, but there was still plenty of room for Kim and I in between the literal craters where others had been digging.

There are several methods to the digging process.

Some people like to dig a two-foot-deep hole to hit water, and then they use the water to wash down the sides of the hole to uncover crystals. Others dig a shallow trench until they hit a vein of crystals and then search along that vein, never going much deeper than a few inches.

Still others just dig like hell until they hear a crunch that sounds like glass, and then they search that area.

We tried both of the main methods Saturday, and had pretty good luck.

We found about 200

crystals, ranging from a fingernail in size up to well-shaped crystals three inches long.

I think the find of the day was a small formation of a couple of crystals fused together that Kim uncovered. It wasn’t a cluster of crystals, which is the ultimate find, but it was as close as we were going to get on Saturday.

The weather was perfect for our adventure, too.

We were blessed with cool temperatures, and no wind...which just enhanced our experience.

We may go back again some day, and take friends who we know would love the experience, as well.

Back home at our weekend retreat, we showered off the salt and sand, and enjoyed dinner out at a restaurant in town. And you can call us even more crazy if you want, but that night we built a big fire in the cabin’s outdoor fire pit and let the nearly full moon “charge” our

crystals with additional energy.

Hey...what could it hurt?

Editor’s Note: With the 2022 crystal digging season ending on Oct. 15, you’ll probably need to plan your adventure for next spring, when the Great Salt Plains reopen for digging on April 1. For more information, just google Great Salt Plains State Park or selenite crystals.

Conway Springs class of 1967 celebrates reunion

The Conway Springs High School class of 1967 held its 55-year reunion Sept. 23-24 in conjunction with the Fall Festival.

The class has always been very close knit, and has enjoyed a reunion every five years since graduation. Twenty-five members of the original class of 52 were in attendance, along with two previous classmates who graduated from other schools.

The class held a “get reacquainted” social on Friday evening at the Erker Red Barn on the south edge of town. Various classmates enjoyed visiting about their families, life experiences, their days in high school, and what everyone was doing currently, be it traveling, volunteer work, still working in some capacity, etcetera.

On Saturday morning, the class participated in the Fall Festival with a float in the long parade.

A local classmate provided the truck, trailer and hay bales for the event.

That afternoon, the class enjoyed visiting with hometown people and visitors in Central Park, home of the well-known spring house.

On Saturday evening, the class enjoyed a catered dinner, again at the Red Barn, from Hired Man’s Grocery & Grill. Desserts and snacks were provided by various attendees.

Out-of-state classmates attending or contacted by phone were Gloria (Bergkamp) Boland, Loveland, Colo.; Dale Hemberger and Mary, Salem,Va.; Steve Scott, Soldotna, Alaska; Don Davis and Peggy, Darlington, Wis.; and Ron Prilliman, San Jose, Calif.

Cheney band heading to state competition

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

CHENEY – Forty members of the Cheney High School marching band will compete in Topeka on Saturday in the Class 1234A marching championship, hosted by the Kansas Bandmasters Association.

The competition – technically not a State championship – will be held at Yager Stadium on the Washburn University campus. This will be the first time that the Cheney Cardinals have taken part.

“Our marching program has continued to grow the last four to five years. We feel we can be competitive,” said band director Travis Johnson.

The first band will perform at 9 a.m., and the Cardinals are scheduled to play at 11:15 a.m. They will be competing against other 3A schools.

The top 12 bands of the day, regardless of class, will play again Saturday evening. From the group, a grand champion will be named.

top band is,” Johnson said.

The Cardinals take part in other events, such as performing at the Kansas State Fair, but those are known as rated events.

Bands perform for a I, II, III or IV rating, and are rated independent of how other bands play. The KBA marching championship is a ranked event, meaning the bands are performing against each other. Twenty bands are slated to play on Saturday.

The Cardinals will be performing the show that Cheney football fans have been seeing at halftime of home games.

However, there is something quite unique about Cheney’s show – it was composted entirely by one of the band members, Lauren Loften. Johnson said he’s never heard of another high school band performing a show composed by a student member.

“It’s exceptionally well written. He did an amazing job,” Johnson said.

The show is called “Light: The Visible Spectrum.”

Cooler weather signals colorful changes in leaves

By Maddy Rohr

K-State Extension

Cooler temperatures mean it is officially sweater weather in Kansas and time for fall festivities. For many, the truest indicator of autumn are the red, purple, yellow, orange and brown tree colors.

The pigments in the plant determine the individual color changes, said Ward Upham, Kansas State University horticulture expert. “Foliage

derives its normal green color from chlorophyll, the substance that captures the energy of the sun. Other pigments produce fall colors.”

Anthocyanins cause red and purple leaves, xanthophylls result in yellow leaves, and oranges are a mix of carotenes and xanthophylls. Brown leaves are caused by tannins.

“Most of these substances are present throughout the growing season but are masked by the green color

produced by chlorophyll,” Upham said. “Anthocyanins are the exception and are produced after the chlorophyll is destroyed in the fall.”

Color is also influenced by the weather, Upham said. Warm days filled with maximum sunlight followed by cool nights are ideal for radiant color.

“The sunny days encourage photosynthesis and, thus, sugar accumulation in the leaves,” he said.

“Cool nights slow respira-

tion, which helps conserve those sugars.”

High amounts of sugar in the leaves help produce more vibrant colors. Tree species also play a role in color variations.

“If you have ever seen pictures of New England in the fall, you have probably wondered why trees in Kansas usually do not color as well,” Upham said.

“Certain oaks and maples naturally produce good color and are abundant in New England.”

Following is next week’s menu for Friendship Meals and Meals on Wheels.

Monday: Cranberry meatballs, baked potato, broccoli, mixed fruit, bread, milk.

Tuesday: Pork patty sandwich, parslied carrots, strawberries, milk.

Wednesday: Southwest chicken bake, hominy, Mandarin oranges, quick and easy fruit dessert, milk.

New offerings at Goddard Fall Festival

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

GODDARD – With just a little over a week until the Goddard Fall Festival begins, Goddard Chamber of Commerce president/ CEO and festival organizer Angie Duntz is excited to see the new features and events at this year’s festival.

The event is Oct. 21-23.

The festival will feature a full day’s worth of live music rather than just a handful of smaller performances with one main band. The lineup includes The 99 Band, Kody Watson, Sign of Jonah, the Damm Music Center Rock Academy, Jared Brown and The Dirt Road Misfits, Lone Jett and the Brokenhearts, and KC/ DC, an AC/DC tribute

band. Also featured will be Amelia Earhart Elementary students singing the national anthem, and a performance by the Goddard Wildcats Junior Cheer Club. All the musical performances are free for fall festival attendees.

Another new addition is the non-profit showcase, with booths from local organizations offering a variety of services.

“It gives people a chance to meet and greet with community resources,” Duntz said.

On Sunday morning, a hot air balloon launch is planned. The balloons will take off from the ball fields at Discovery Elementary School, which is on Main Street just south of Linear Park. The launch will be at sunrise Sunday.

Goddard Fall Festival

merchandise is available now. There are T-shirts, souvenir buttons, and decals. Souvenir packages are available.

Festival red and inflatable wristbands are available for $45 if purchased in advance.

They will be $50 at the festival. Tickets for just the TechBox inflatables will be $15 and can be purchased at the festival.

The rides include a Euro Bungee and a 40-foot zipline.

Sunday afternoon will feature a story walk, put on by the Goddard Public Library. Families will walk and read the story, “Fletcher and the Falling Leaves,”

by Julia Rawlinson.

For further information or to purchase wristbands or merchandise, visit www. goddardfallfestival.com.

Entries sought for Haysville Fall Festival parade, car show

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com HAYSVILLE – The Haysville Fall Festival is just a week away. It will take place Friday, Oct. 21, to Sunday, Oct. 23.

Online registration is happening now for both the parade and the car show, and can be done online at 222.hellohaysville. com. Click on the “Fall Festival” link and then

click on “Car Show.”

The car show will run from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Saturday on the northwest edge of Riggs Park. For more information, text Damian or Hollie Cope at 316-727-6293 or email dscope@gmail.com.

The fall festival parade will start at 9 a.m. on Saturday, with line-up beginning at 8:30 a.m. Registration is required and can be done on the website; click the “Parade” link. Special

requests, such as placement in the parade, must be made in advance and are not guaranteed.

Line-up for the parade will take place at Haysville West Middle School, 1956 W. Grand Ave. The parade will proceed east to the Haysville United Methodist Church, 600 E Grand.

Fall festival buttons are required to be a parade participant.

The Haysville Fall Festival will host the WEEE

Entertainment carnival for all three days of the festival. With a consolidation of available carnivals in the area, a number of community celebrations have lost their traditional carnivals.

“We had a good relationship with Ottaway,” said Ken Swart of the Haysville Fall Festival Committee.

Last year, the carnival saw a mix of Ottaway and WEEE rides, as the

Ottaway decided to get out of the business. The fall festival signed a three-year contract with WEEE in 2021.

The carnival will be open 6-11 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, and 1-5 p.m. Sunday.

New this year will be a children’s costume contest.

It will take place at 11:15 a.m. on Saturday. The officer of the year presentation will move to the Friday night schedule at

the Riggs Park main stage.

More information will be in next week’s TSnews, or visit www.hellohaysville.com.

KSHSAA sets classifications No changes in store for local schools

By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com The Kansas State High School Activities Association has released its classifications for the 2022-23 school year.

The classifications are for all activities and sports except football, which is set every other year for a two-year window that begins the following school year.

Local schools will remain in the same classifications they were in last year: Campus High School, 6A; Goddard and Eisenhower high schools, 5A; Clearwater High School, 4A; Cheney High School, 3A; Conway Springs and Garden Plain high schools, 2A; Argonia High School, 1A. In football, Clearwater competes in 3A, Conway Springs competes in 1A, and Argonia competes as a cooperative program

with Attica High School in 8-man Division I. This year’s changes include Hutchinson moving down to 5A and Mill Valley moving up to 6A; Hugoton moving up to 4A and Concordia moving down to 3A; Maur Hill Mount Acadamy and Atchison County moving up to 2A while Pleasant Ridge and Thomas More Prep-Marian drop down to 2A; and Rawlins County, Wichita County Meade and Cair Paravel moving

up to 2A while Bishop Seabury Academy, Pratt Skyline, Flinthills and Yates Center go down to 1A. Kansas School for the Deaf in Olathe is joining KSHSAA as a 1A school.

There are 36 schools in 6A, 5A and 4A; 64 schools in 3A and 2A; and 117 schools in 1A. Class 6A schools range from 1,340 to 2,430 students; 5A schools have 735 to 1,306 students; 4A student populations are 323 to 711; 3A schools are 174 to 313

students; 2A schools have 110 to 173 students; and 1A schools range from 10 to 109 students.

Campus is a mid-size 6A school, coming in at No. 16. The seven largest schools exceed 2,000 students.

Eisenhower is the 16th-largest 5A school, while Goddard is 22nd.

Clearwater ranks No. 30 in 4A, and Cheney is No. 27 in 3A. This year, Garden Plain is tied with Hillsboro as the largest school in 2A, while Conway Springs ranks No. 18.

Pumpkin From Page A1 This is especially important if you plan to carve them: Piercing the dirty rind with a sharp tool will introduce these eager visitors deeper into the heart of your pumpkin. Be sure to use clean tools as well.

Microbes can reside and multiply on small amounts of pumpkin debris stuck in the teeth of dirty carving knives.

Even if you are not carving your pumpkin, wiping it down isn’t a bad idea, since it may have small

bruises or cracks that are easy to overlook.

Much of the work of carving a pumpkin involves separating the fibrous strands and seeds inside it from the harder pulp that makes up the pumpkin’s walls. As you scoop out the pumpkin’s innards, thoroughly inspect the inside walls for soft rotten patches or dark tissues, which may have been colonized pre- or post-harvest by bacteria, fungi or water molds. Diseased pumpkins sometimes produce an off-putting smell, so use your nose as well.

If you find these is-

sues as you carve, you may want to try carving another pumpkin. You can also paint your pumpkins instead of carving them, which averts the need to peer inside.

Some online tutorials and YouTube videos recommend thinning out pumpkins’ walls to better allow candle or LED light to pass through. But if you make the walls too thin, your jack-o’-lantern’s fangs will become inward-curving skin tabs as the pulp desiccates and deforms. A toothless jack-o’-lantern scares no one.

Another advantage of maintaining thicker walls

is that it enables you to try a 3D carving. This involves shaping the pumpkin’s surface as you would carve a piece of wood, without breaking through the shell, and can produce dramatic results.

Some people soak their carved pumpkins in diluted bleach or vinegar water after completing them. But this technique is a double-edged sword: Adding more free moisture to your masterpiece invites windblown mold spores and rain-splashed bacteria to colonize it. However, applying a light coating of petroleum jelly or vegetable oil to all the exposed

parts can extend the shelf life of your sculpted squash.

October is a wet month with frequent rains in many parts of the U.S. Rain falling on your jack-o’-lantern will invite every mold in the neighborhood to take up residency in or on it. For this reason, I recommend keeping your pumpkins on a covered porch or displaying them from indoors in a window.

It’s OK if some mold forms inside it, as not all fungi cause soft rots – diseases that produce wet spots that spread, become mushy and turn black. If

a pumpkin does become overly moldy on the inside walls, move it outdoors to avoid producing a lot of spores in your home.

When your pumpkin does start to mold and collapse, don’t throw it in a landfill. Put it out for your neighborhood deer or atop your compost pile.

Or find a spot in your yard where you can watch it degrade over time, until it turns back to soil in time for next year’s pumpkin patch.

Watching for wasps

By Maddy Rohr

K-State Extension Service

Yellow jacket wasps are increasing in numbers as they scavenge for food this fall until cold weather arrives. Kansas State University horticulture expert Ward Upham encourages those outdoors to be careful as wasps can sting if agitated.

“Yellow jacket wasps are three-fourths of an inch long and closely resemble bees from a distance,” Upham said. “Bees have more hair and are duller in color.”

Wasps look for food near compost piles rather than flowers, and especially sugary liquids such as soda.

If a nest is found, it is best to avoid the area as wasps can be more aggressive near the nest, Upham said.

While they are known for unfriendly behavior, wasps are beneficial to their environment, feeding on soft body insects like caterpillars and sawfly larvae. Upham encourages not destroying nests unless they present a danger to people.

“Rather, concentrate on removing food sources near areas you frequent,” he said.
