OPEN WINDOWS can be a safety hazard for children, who may accidentally fall through if they aren’t closely supervised by parents or caregivers. Window guards and stops should also be used, said Safe Kids Kansas.

When the weather gets warm, open windows can be a cost-effec-tive way to keep cool. But they can also be a safety hazard for children, who may fall through. Safe Kids Kansas offers ways to let the fresh air in while keeping your children safe.

Q: How common are window-related accidents?

A: Every year in the United States, window falls account for about 12 childhood deaths and about 4,000 injuries for children under the age of 10. Toddlers have been known to fall out of windows open as little as 5 inches.

Q: What about in Kansas?A: In Kansas, from 2000 to 2009,

there were 77 accidental falls-re-lated hospital discharges that oc-curred from falls out of a building or other structure. Most of these falls occurred in younger children.

Q: Does a screen offer enough protection to keep a child from fall-ing through?

A: “A screen is not a safety de-vice,” said Cherie Sage, state direc-tor of Safe Kids Kansas. “It’s de-signed to keep insects out, not to keep children in.”

Q: What are some open window safety tips?

A: First, Safe Kids Kansas recom-mends that adults actively super-vise their children when around open windows. Other safety tips in-clude installing window guards or stops, keeping windows locked and closed when they aren’t being used, and keeping furniture away from windows so children can’t climb to the ledge.

THE 1/6-SCALE TOY indus-try is largelypopulated with World War II figures, like these from Steve Allen’s personal collection.

Caroline Boyer/Staff

Bonner business creates WWI ‘toy’

At first glance, it might look like Bonner Springs resident Steve Allen gets to play with toys all day.

But his home-based business, Time-walker Toys & Collectibles, is a very serious undertaking.

For one thing, business is boom-ing for the online retailer of one-sixth scale figures, largely consisting of World War II military figures and movie characters — Allen said the company has been virtually untouched by a downtrodden economy.

“We’ve never really seen a period of stagnation, even through the worst of the recession,” he says.

For another, Allen and his wife, Margaret, have taken on the signifi-cant task of introducing a new era to the market, producing a prototype for a World War I line of figures. Already, a copycat figure is being produced by another manufacturer that caught wind of the Allens’ line, but the Allens hope it is clear their toy is of a higher quality.

“They have produced a similar product; ours is distinguished in the fact that it is much more historically accurate,” Steve Allen said. “It’s not to say that their figure is bad, but it’s more of the common kind of output you get from the industry.”

Not just a G.I. JoeAllen got into the 1/6-scale industry

a decade ago as a collector, shortly af-ter it started to grow when a company called Dragon Models started produc-ing fully articulated, historically accu-rate World War II figures.

“A lot of people will look at it su-perficially and think back to the days of the old G.I. Joes that are 12-inch,” Steve Allen said. “But they’ve come so far now, that the representation of a soldier in 1/6 scale form can be highly detailed, with hyper-realistic head-scopes and miniature equipment. It’s miniature militaria, really.”

Allen estimates about 2,000 to 3,000 individual figures have been created over the years. World War II toys range from average soldiers to histori-cal figures such as German field mar-shal Erwin Rommel and Hitler. These figures cost $80 to $120.

A company called Hot Toys began producing 1/6 scale figures from the comic book movie industry, such Cap-tain America and Thor, and cost $150 to $200.

“The kids love them, but the kids can’t afford them, so they’re really for adults,” Steve Allen said.

With the level of historical accura-cy, collectors include professors who use the toys in their teaching to those who put the pose-able dolls in diora-mas.

“The reason for a lot of hobbyists that 1/6 scale is interesting is it’s not too big, where it’s going to take up a lot of space, but it’s not so small that you can’t appreciate the minutiae, the detail of the equipment,” Steve Allen said.

Booming businessIt didn’t take long for Allen to go

from collector to seller. The business began when he visited an Overland Park online vendor to pick up a few items.

“I kind of got the bug at that time; I looked around and thought, ‘We can do this — there’s something here,’” Steve Allen said.

Allen and his wife, both with an-thropology degrees from Kansas Uni-versity, where they met, took their business’s name from anthropologist Clive Gamble’s book “Timewalkers: The Prehistory of Global Coloniza-tion.” They said they knew their niche would be selling 1/6 scale to militaria collectors, and so began to sell their products at militaria shows.

It seems to have worked.“The intent was to make just a little

bit of additional income, but it grew pretty quickly and became all-con-suming rather fast,” Steve Allen said. “Over the course of a couple years, we had established ourselves as one of the leading 1/6 scale retailers out there, and we’ve been building on it ever since.”

In 2008, Steve Allen quit his other job and started running the business full-time. The couple say they con-tinued with a conservative approach but found they weren’t impacted by the economy. Customers told them they were taking fewer vacations but spending more time at home with their hobby.

“You would think that the unneces-saries in life would go by the wayside, but when you’re not able to do all the things you would prefer to do in the summer time, this is a good thing to occupy your leisure time with,” Steve Allen said.

Uncharted territoryJust as Steve began working fulltime

on Timewalker, he and Margaret de-cided to see if they could fill a void

DEATHSClayton Skeeter McCully

Clayton Skeeter McCully, age 22 of Bonner Springs, KS. Died in an auto-mobile accident on May 11, 2012.

Clayton was born on November 24, 1989 in Kansas City, Kansas and lived in Horton, KS for 8 years before mov-ing to the Bonner Springs area.

He was a 2008 graduate of Bonner Springs High School where he was a member of the soccer, swimming and cross country

teams and went on to attend the Uni-versity of St. Mary’s in Leavenworth, KS. on a soccer scholarship.

Click it or Ticket around the corner

Beginning Monday and continuing through Sunday, June 3, drivers can expect increased police presence as the Basehor Police Department joins more than 150 other law enforcement agencies in aggressively enforcing Kansas occupant restraint and other traffic laws as part of the 2012 Kansas Click It or Ticket traffic enforcement campaign. This activity is supported by a grant from the Kansas Depart-ment of Transportation.

Expect strict enforcement of the Safety Belt Use and Child Passenger Safety Acts. These acts require that all occupants must be appropriately restrained. Occupants ages 14 and old-er are cited individually. In the event that a passenger under the age of 14 is unrestrained, the driver will be cited. Children under the age of 4 must be secured in an approved child safety seat. Children ages 4 through 7 must be securely belted into an approved booster seat unless taller than 4 feet 9 inches or heavier than 80 pounds. Children ages 8 through 13 must be safety-belted. In addition, the act pro-hibits persons under the age of 14 from riding in any part of a vehicle not in-tended for carrying passengers, such as a pickup bed.

The aim of Click It or Ticket is sim-ple: to drastically reduce the number of preventable deaths and injuries that occur when unbelted drivers and pas-sengers are involved in traffic crashes.

According to KDOT’s Traffic Safety section, more than two-thirds of those killed in crashes are not belted in. Just as striking is the fact that about 89 per-cent of crash survivors who suffer no injuries at all are belted in. In other words, an unrestrained occupant has only about an 11 percent chance of not being injured in a crash. And all for simply not taking two seconds to buckle up.

Everyone knows there are seat belt laws and that seat belts and child safe-ty seats save lives and reduce injury, as well as hold down health care costs for all of us. But too many drivers play the odds and don’t buckle up or require their passengers to buckle up because, in their experience, a crash is unlikely. But when a crash does hap-pen, it’s generally within five miles from home.

When you don’t buckle up yourself or require that your passengers buckle up, you’re making the decision for ev-eryone in your vehicle that the drivers you meet are not going to be distract-ed by sleepiness, cell phone conversa-tions, texting, changing radio stations or kids fighting in the back seat. And you’re assuming for everyone, that no animal, roadway or mechanical prob-lem will cause you to suddenly brake or veer out of your lane. I want people to know that the Basehor Police De-partment is committed to aggressive-ly ticketing violators of seat belt and child safety laws, and all other traffic infractions that make our streets and highways unsafe.

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

Soren Kierkegaard

COMMENT

Yes, it is true; there is no reason to deny it. Since my earliest years I am a “salt lover.” In fact there may be some who might even call me a “saltaholic;” at least my wife does. While some peo-ple taste their food and then season, I grab the salt shaker first.

I have been a salt lover for as many years as I can remember. From the time I was a young child, people have been warning me about overuse of salt. It has been a warning that I have chosen not to heed.

I might hasten to add that salt is about the only spice I use. As far as I’m con-cerned, pepper is too “spicy” for me. I have been asked about why I salt everything and my answer has always been: “because it tastes good.” I realize that too much salt can be bad for your health and I have cut down a bit. In fact, it seems to me that salt is losing its popularity.

Salt has played a big part in the his-tory of the world. Empires have fallen because of a short supply of salt. In the ancient world, wars were fought over salt supplies. Salt plays a major role in many superstitions. Spilling salt was thought to bring on bad luck. In one culture, it was believed that a “good spirit” stood behind a person’s right shoulder and a “bad spirit” was look-ing over your left shoulder. It was be-lieved that it you threw salt over your left shoulder you might hit the “bad spirit” in the eye and drive it off.

In ancient Rome, salt was part of the pay for soldiers and civil servants. I read that the root of the word “sal-ary” came from the practice of paying Romans with salt. A good worker, or soldier, was “worth his salt.” One of the harshest assignments for Roman

slaves in the old days was working in the salt mines. Salt is mentioned nu-merous times in the Bible and look-ing back at the sinners in Sodom and Gomorrah resulted in Lot’s wife being turned into a block of salt. There are many other Biblical examples, includ-ing salt losing its savor referring to churches that had lost their zeal.

Remnants of ancient salt mines have turned up in It-aly, Poland, Pakistan, Ireland and England. Most of the mines are 600 to 1,000 feet deep. One expert wrote that 75 percent of the salt is mined and the other 25 per-cent is saved for “pil-

lars” to provide stability to the mine. Salt has played a major role in the

economy of Kansas. Over the years, Kansas has been a major supplier of salt. The first commercial operation was in nearby Osawatomie in 1865. Salt was sold for $140 per bushel and a bushel of salt weight 56 pounds. I wasn’t able to find a salt mine in Wy-andotte or Leavenworth Counties, but there was one in Baldwin.

By far the best known salt opera-tion is in Hutchinson and was started in 1888. The Hutchinson High School sports teams are known as the “Salt Hawks.” Hutchinson has long referred to itself as the “salt capital.” Hutchin-son has the only underground museum of its kind in the western hemisphere. It is located 650 feet below ground level and provides a variety of learn-ing experiences. It was judged one of the “eight wonders of Kansas.”

As for me, I will admit that I am try-ing to cut back on my use of salt. How-ever, I still carry my small salt packet in my billfold just in case I’m at a lun-cheon where salt isn’t available.

JUSTIN ROBERTS, 13, Bonner Springs, stands near one of his two prints currently on display at The New Theatre Restaurant in Overland Park. The exhibit features the artowrk of Justin and his classmates at Horizon Academy, a private school for students with learning disabilities in Roeland Park.

Art show gives students self-esteem boost

While his learning disability can make school difficult at times, 11-year-old Jonathan Jackson said one thing he always enjoys is his art class.

“(I like) the creativity,” he said. “It’s the only time I get to feel free.”

The Lawrence student attends Ho-rizon Academy in Roeland Park, a private school for children in grades kindergarten through 12 who struggle with learning disabilities. Kit Bardwell, art teacher at Horizon, said her class puts all students on an equal playing field.

“It gives them an opportunity to ex-press themselves in ways that don’t require the use of literacy skills,” Bardwell said.

Now, more people from the area are learning about Horizon and the chal-lenges its students face with essential skills such as spelling, reading, writing and mathematics.

Artwork created by Horizon stu-dents, including two of Jonathan’s pieces, is currently on display at the New Theatre Restaurant in Overland Park. The artwork is being exhibited and sold to coincide with “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” which is at the theater through June 21.

Sam O’neill of Shawnee said “it’s pretty unbelievable” to have his art-work included in the exhibit.

“It’s a great opportunity that comes once, maybe twice, in a lifetime,” the Horizon sixth-grader said.

Sam said his painting of a dragon was an homage to the film, “How to Train Your Dragon,” one of his favor-ites. Another student from Shawnee, seventh-grader Cole Megerson, also had artwork displayed in the exhibit, though his piece has sold already.

Sam has a form of autism known as Asperger’s syndrome, his mother, Amy O’neill, said. She said art had helped give her son a sense of confi-dence he may not have had otherwise.

“I think he feels like he’s good at

art and he gets a lot of compliments,” she said. “And I think it makes him feel successful that he’s good at some-thing.”

Rob McGraw, director of marketing and sales for the theater, organizes art exhibitions for each show, trying to find a connection between the show in the theater and the art on display. So with the current show related to a school, he thought about the theater’s co-owner, whose son attends Horizon and who often brings his son’s school artwork to the theater.

McGraw said he hoped the exhibit raised awareness of Horizon and its students, since about 50,000 people in all see each show and most spend time browsing the art display. Within the first few weeks, three pieces of art-work had sold at $120 each, with pro-ceeds benefiting the visual arts pro-gram at the school.

Bardwell said the students got excit-ed about the idea of the show and en-joyed coming up with names for each of their pieces.

“It was a surprise opportunity, but it really was a self-esteem boost,” Bardwell said.

Justin Roberts, 13, a student from Bonner Springs, said he was excited that so many people would see his art-work — he also has two pieces in the exhibit.

“It’s very cool,” he said. “(I think that) people will think ‘good job.’”

Justin thought there was a good chance his pieces might be purchased.

“I think someone will purchase them, and I’ll feel happy about that,” he said.

KC Chief McGraw visits Basehor fifth-graders

When Jace Friesen told his friends he had a cousin who played for the Kansas City Chiefs, they were skepti-cal.

“My friends couldn’t believe it at first,” said Jace, a fifth-grader. “They thought I was lying.”

But they got proof on Monday, when Chiefs safety Jon McGraw stood in front of his second cousin’s class-mates at Basehor Intermediate School, wearing his No. 47 jersey.

Jace and his family had asked Mc-Graw — who is the first cousin of Jace’s father, Andy — to visit the fifth-graders at BIS as a reward for their hard work and good performance on state assessment tests.

Hard work is the reason McGraw has forged a 10-year NFL career after playing football for the first time as a scrawny seventh-grader, he told the students.

“When I first started playing foot-ball, I wasn’t very good,” McGraw said.

McGraw, 33, grew up on a farm in the town of Riley and graduated as part of a class of 44, he said, before playing football at Kansas State University. He was drafted by the New York Jets in 2002 and came to the Chiefs in 2007.

He told the students that if they continued to perform well in school, it would help them down the road. Even

as an NFL player, he said, he used a lot of skills he learned during school, including the ability to sit and absorb information during hours of meetings each week.

“You’ve got to be able to learn fast,” McGraw said.

And his business degree from K-State would come in handy soon, he said. He hasn’t signed a contract to return to the Chiefs for next season, and his playing days are likely winding down, he said. He’ll likely look to land a job in financial planning, commercial real estate or another industry.

After one student asked him if he celebrates touchdowns by spiking the ball on the ground, McGraw laughed. Because he plays on defense, he’s scored only one touchdown in his NFL career.

“My touchdown celebration needs a little bit of work,” McGraw said. “I may need some help from you guys.”

After his talk, students crowded around him, holding in their out-stretched hands anything they could find for him to autograph: backpacks, jerseys, water bottles, hats or just a piece of notebook paper.

Fifth-grader Colyn Lucas, his voice still loud with excitement, showed off his iPod that was now decorated with McGraw’s signature.

“He’s awesome at football!” Colyn said.

they had noticed in the industry.Both lovers of history, they had been

volunteering at the National World War I Museum in Kansas City since its 2006 opening. But the 1/6 scale in-dustry didn’t reflect figures from The Great War.

“With the centennial approaching it’s time — it’s getting closer to time to have them out,” Margaret Allen said.

They started petitioning manufac-turers in the industry to look at World War I as an option for a toy line.

“Nobody really had an interest at the time, but we finally got in contact with a company that was willing to take a look at it and look at our pro-posal,” Steve Allen said.

The Allens went to California a year ago to pitch a World War I prod-uct line of figures to that company, CalTek. The time since has been spent determining just how to approach the line and the first prototype: an early war imperial German infantry soldier, wearing a spiked helmet and intricate tunic.

“We decided on that figure because it is kind of the iconic look of the war, at least where the German Empire is concerned,” Steve said. “It has a little bit of flash to it, and we want to make a big impression with the first one.”

Developing a prototypeThe Allens have spent months

working with World War I museum experts to ensure their prototype is historically accurate, at a level of re-search Steve Allen says goes beyond the norm in the industry.

They have gone back to the original source material, taking photographs and measurements to make sure the manufacturers in China make the most accurate World War I figure possible.

But the back and forth communica-tion has been difficult. For example, they sent a photo of a helmet cover to the manufacturers, who sent back a 1/6-scale helmet cover including the holes from age and wear and tear shown in the photo.

“That wasn’t meant to be repro-duced, but they took it literally,” Steve said.

Altogether, they created 38 differ-ent panels with historical details and descriptions of each item on the toy.

“It’s quite a laborious process to put all these things together, but it’s im-portant because what we’re ultimately working toward is a highly realistic product line,” Steve said.

Doran Cart, senior curator of the World War I Museum, said he has ap-preciated the Allens’ use of the mu-seum as a research facility, and that the toy line may help revive people’s interest in the history of the war. Cart said the museum gets requests for research assistance from all over the world, from documentaries to gradu-ate students’ research projects, but the Allens’ project was unique.

“I have to admit, the project with Steve and Margaret, that’s a first, for us to do that on that type of scale,” he said. “As far as a whole detailed uni-form and equipment for a 1914 German infantry soldier, that’s a whole differ-ent kind of project.”

While the competitor’s copycat doll has a specific name and will hit the market in the next few months, the Al-lens are simply calling theirs the Battle of Liege German Infantry soldier, and they hope it will be available in the fall.

The couple will continue with more World War I figures in the future, though they say it will be hard to re-search some soldiers, like Belgian and Russian, as original items are harder to find. They think the line will cause their business to finally expand be-yond the capacity of their home, as well.

“It’s quite a project, and it’s been a lot of fun to put together,” Steve said.

The city of Edwardsville is introduc-ing a new, optional program available to homeowners through the National League of Cities Service Line Warran-ty Program, which provides low-cost warranty protection for sewer lines.

City officials said many citizens are unaware that they are responsible for the sewer lines that go from their houses to the point of connection with the sewer system.

The warranty program offers citi-zens an affordable way to avoid the

often large expense involved with a sewer line break.

Edwardsville residents will be mailed information about the sewer line warranty, and offers for a water line warranty will arrive in the fall. The cost is $5.50 per month and cov-ers up to $4,000, plus an allowance of $4,000 for public street cutting if needed.

For more information, contact City Hall at 913-441-3707 or visit SLWofA.com.

FOODMEALTIME IDEAS AND RECIPES FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

Steamed hakepacks in the flavor

Admittedly, steamed fish doesn’t exactly scream mouthwatering. But what it lacks in excitement it more than makes up for in health cred.

Steaming generally involves no add-ed fat and is a great way of retaining all of the nutri-ents in your food. It’s also relatively speedy.

One of the best ways to steam fish is what the French call “en papillote” (pronounced on pap-ee-oat), or literally “in parch-ment.”

In this simple method, fish is wrapped in a packet of parch-ment paper.

As it cooks, the food releases juices. Those fla-vorful juices turn to steam and are trapped in the packet, cooking and flavoring the food, while keeping it moist.

For our dish, we went with hake, a firm white fish.

We arranged it over a bed of sea-soned green beans and topped it with a simple blend of fresh herbs and lemon.

Other ideas could be par-cooked, thinly sliced potatoes, scallops and rosemary.

Hake en PapilloteStart to finish: 30 minutesServings: 41/2 pound small green beans,

trimmedPinch smoked paprikaSalt and ground black pepperFour 4-ounce hake fillets4 sprigs fresh thyme4 fresh mint leaves4 small sprigs fresh marjoram4 lemon slicesHeat the oven to 375 F.Cut four large pieces parchment pa-

per, about 12-by-20-inches each. Fold each in half the short way.

In a small bowl, toss the green beans with the paprika. Season with salt and black pepper. Open each sheet of parchment similar to a book. Arrange a quarter of the beans on one half of each sheet of parchment, placing them close to the fold line. Top each pile with a hake fillet. Season again with salt and black pepper.

Top each fillet with a sprig of thyme, a mint leaf, a sprig of marjoram and a slice of lemon. Fold the parchment packets closed like a book again. Starting at one end of the fold, fold the edges of the pa-per together every couple of inches, cre-ating a seam all the way around. Tuck the last end under and place on a baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes. To serve, place each packet on a serving plate and tear open at the center.

STEAMING FISH, SUCH AS THIS FILET OF HAKE, is a speedy cooking method that doesn’t require added fat and doesn’t deplete nutritional value. Try serving the fish over seasoned green beans with fresh herbs and lemon.

Fish for dinner

Admittedly, steamed fish doesn’t ex-actly scream mouthwater-ing. But what it lacks in excitement it more than makes up for in health cred.”

By Corey ThibodeauxContributing writer

Earlier this season, members of the Basehor-Linwood softball team kept comparing themselves to the 2010 state championship team.

Though the success and expecta-tions remained the same, coach Susan Mayberry stopped the comparisons right there.

“I don’t want you to be the 2010 team,” she told them. “I want you to be your own team.”

That was when it sunk in. The Bob-cats breezed to a 20-2 record and are once again heading to the state tourna-ment after a 7-0 victory against Bon-ner Springs Tuesday in the 4A region-al championship.

As the Bobcats took turns hoisting the trophy and posing for photos, the Braves were huddled on the other side of the field coping with the loss. They went farther than most thought they would in this tournament, but it didn’t make losing in the championship game any easier to bear.

“I told them just to go down swing-ing and work hard and not give up,” coach Denise Chowning said, fight-ing back tears. “And I don’t think they did.”

Earlier on Tuesday, Bonner Springs avoided a comeback from Tonganoxie to win its semifinal, 8-5, and Basehor-Linwood escaped in an ugly 3-1 victo-ry against Jefferson-West. But for the Bobcats, sophomore Kayleigh Schoen-felder said, that performance let to a more focused approach in the final game.

“As long as we do something at the plate,” she said, “it’s going to be OK.”

With that mentality, the Bobcats scored three quick runs in the first in-ning and another in the fourth, starting with a little breathing room. It almost

didn’t matter because Bobcats pitcher Brooke Redmond was in the zone.

She tossed eight strikeouts and had a no-hitter until Bonner Springs’ Cas-sady Holloway singled in the seventh inning.

“It really pumps me up because I know she’s going to be there for me,” Bobcats sophomore Candice Jennings said. “And so are my other team-mates.”

Each player for Basehor-Linwood reached base, with Jennings leading

way going 3-for-4 and two RBI.Looking ahead, Mayberry said, the

Bobcats are going into the state tour-nament for the third time in four years with no set expectations. It’s not fair to build kids up for failure, she said, but this team does have the ingredients of a champion.

“Chemistry is everything,” Mayber-ry said. “When they talk about cham-

BSHS SENIOR SPENCER BUSH finished his Braves tennis career alongside sophomore Quinton Schneck in Topeka on Friday.

Memorable BSHS tennis season ends

By Corey ThibodeauxContributing writer

In perhaps the best-played match of its splendid season, the Bonner Springsdoubles team of senior Spencer Bushand sophomore Quinton Schneck fellin its first match of the state tourna-ment Friday to Wichita-Collegiate 4-6,6-4, 10-8.

Upset with the agonizingly closedefeat, coach Bill Scott told them thatif they could just get by Abilene, theywere right back in the tournament.

Wichita-Collegiate’s hard-hittinggame meshed well with Bush andSchneck’s, which is why they were soevenly matched. But Abilene’s unique game was the opposite.

“I’ve never seen a team play like this ever,” Scott said. “All they did was lob the ball.”

Bonner Springs lost its secondmatch, the first round of the fifth placebracket, to Abilene’s Kanyan Ander-son and Connor Kijowski, 9-5. In the one-set match, the Braves coaches al-ternated and tried all sorts of differenttactics to help their baffled doubles team. Abilene was lobbing everything right from the return. The only thing Schneck and Bush could do was lob back. Anderson and Kijowski did thesame thing earlier in the tournament,so this was no fluke. They had the ad-vantage.

“They knew they were driving us nuts,” Scott said. “They could see it.And no matter what we tried or whatwe told the guys, we couldn’t get out of it.”Stephen Montemayor/Staff

BLHS JUNIOR KARA STEPHENS scored all three of the Bobcats’ goals in Tuesday’s first-round regional victory against Sumner.

Hat trick advances BobcatsBy Stephen Montemayor

As she walked away from the pitch, Basehor-Linwood junior Kara Ste-phens was as short on breath as she was with words.

To her, her three-goal performance to lead the Bobcats to their first re-gional tournament victory in memory was just a matter of “kicking it into space, making good runs and passing.”

In stopping Sumner Academy 3-0 on Tuesday, Derek Mazeitis’ youth-laden Bobcats (6-11) improved upon last year’s victory total while earning a rematch at Spring Hill (14-2) at 5 p.m. on Friday.

Aside from the first 10 minutes of play, the Bobcats owned the posses-

sion advantage. And, more often than not, if the ball was in her vicinity, Ste-phens would get a touch on it.

“We expect her to be our creator and finisher,” Mazeitis said. “There’s a lot on her shoulders, but I thought to-night she was creating nicely and she got rewarded with three goals.”

With 10 minutes left in the first half, Stephens took a ball at the top of the box and volleyed it in for the game’s

-pions, it’s always team chemistry, team chemistry.”

It’s not as if the Braves didn’t have some of the same qualities. Chown-ing said they were doing all they could against the Bobcats. They made plen-ty of contact off pitches, but they all quickly wound up in the glove of their opponents. All Bonner Springs needed was a little luck. That’s what made the loss so painful.

“It’s easy to coach for a team that wants it,” Chowning said. “Losing those five seniors is going to hurt and

they set the tone for the underclass-men.”

The future for this Bonner Springs team looks bright as several under-classmen had significant roles this season. But for an emotional Shelbie Thorton, a graduating senior along with Breanna Tendick, Amber Ste-phens, Meagan Stice and Kylee Tim-berlake, it’ll be hard not to wonder what could have been.

“It’s just the fact that we’re not com-ing back next year,” she said.

The 4A state softball tournament begins May 25 in Salina.

The Bonner Springs doubles team, which was 18-2 coming into the tour-nament, played its last match Friday and was understandably upset by the sudden tournament exit. Scott, who has raved about the team all year, waited about 10 minutes to talk to his duo after they left the court.

It was hard to put a justifying cap on the season with not much to show. Former Bonner State champion Josh Mortensen was there to praise their impressive season, helping ease the pain.

Reflecting on the season as a whole, Scott was more than proud of what his team did this season. They started with a fifth place team finish at Mill Valley, then placed second at Bonner Springs, second at Leavenworth and

third in regionals. The nearly unstop-pable doubles team was just a bonus. No one had any idea Bonner Springs would have results like that.

Now, the Braves are now looking into next season and how they will ap-proach players leaving. Most notably, Bush is leaving from graduation.

Unless anything unexpected hap-pens, Scott said, Schneck is most like-ly going to be the No. 1 singles player and he needs to focus on improving in that area in the offseason. There is a chance that another doubles pairing for him won’t happen.

The union of Bush and Schneck this season was somewhat of a surprise be-cause they just clicked immediately. Scott knows that it’s hard to rely on that happening again.

“The thing with Spencer is he was just tough,” Scott said. “He was a four-year player and he had been through all the wars. I don’t have a guy like that for Quentin.”

first score. The shot served as a re-sponse to the physical defense applied on Stephen’s by Sumner’s Lina Garcia, who on the previous play sent Ste-phens to the grass near the goal.

“Just play hard back,” Stephens said of her plan to handle Sumner’s pres-sure.

Sumner had a chance to tie the game just before halftime after Basehor-Linwood freshman Raeny Seaton was called for a push to the back on Mar-len Aguilera, setting up a penalty kick. Steeling herself in goal, senior keeper Ellen Farris watched as Aguilera’s shot sailed over the crossbar, taking with it Sumner’s chance as wrestling away momentum before the break.

With that, the Bobcats looked to re-charge after a slow first-half start.

“I thought we kind of came out overconfident,” Mazeitis said. “I felt like in the second half we certainly dominated play.”

After stymieing Sumner’s first-touch drive, Basehor-Linwood ratch-eted up its attack early in the second half.

Six minutes in, sophomore Hailey Robinson cleared a shot away from the Bobcats’ goal to its inevitable place at the foot of Stephens.

The junior took off on a midfield charge down the right side of the field before firing her second goal in the back of Sumner’s net.

“(Robinson) is always very consis-tent,” Mazeitis said. “She saves our butts quite a bit.”

Sumner’s aggressive defense caught up with it with 30 minutes remaining as freshman Helen Venegas collided with Seaton at midfield, earning Vene-gas a yellow card. The final goal of Ste-phens’ hat trick came with 22 minutes left to go when a costly error by Sum-ner — its goalie, Katie Rosas, scooped up a pass that was sent back to her — awarded the Bobcats an indirect touch in front of the goal. The victory reversed the fortunes of seasons not long ago past. Improving its win total and advancing past the first round of regionals were goals on which Maze-itis said the Bobcats placed a premium.

CITY OF SHAWNEENOTICE OF INTENT TO

REQUEST RELEASEOF FUNDS

May 16, 2012City of Shawnee, Kansas11110 Johnson DriveShawnee, KS 66203913-631-2500

On or about June 7, 2012 the City of Shawnee will submit

Shawnee

a request to the Office of Housing and Urban Devel-opment for the release of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Develop-ment Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake projects known as Toma-hawk HIlls Stormwater Im-provements Phase II, YMCA, Johnson County Parks and Recreation, Sal-vation Army and Johnson County Housing. These projects will use $165,855 of CDBG funding and an equal or greater amount of City funds for the purpose of providing Tomahawk Hills, Phase II, stormwater im-provements; $13,500 for be-fore and after school child care for low to moderate income families; $11,880 for summer day camp scholar-ships; $5,400 for subsist-ence payments; and $25,000 for minor home repair for low to moderate income households.

The Johnson County Hous-ing Environmental Review Record (ERR) is incomplete, as each individual housing project will be evaluated for site specific environ-mental consideration. The other activities proposed are categorically excluded or have been converted to exclusion under HUD regu-lations at 24 DFR part 58 from National Environmen-tal Policy Act (NEPA) re-quirements. An ERR that documents the environ-mental determinations for this project is on file at City of Shawnee City Hall, 11110 Johnson Drive, Shawnee, KS 66203 and may be exam-ined or copied weekdays 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the Shawnee Planning De-partment. All comments received by June 6, 2012 will be considered by the City of Shawnee prior to author-izing submission of a re-quest for release of funds.

RELEASE OF FUNDS

The City of Shawnee certi-fies to the Office of Housing and Urban Development that Jeff Meyers in his ca-pacity as Mayor consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an ac-tion is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental re-view process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The Office of Housing and Urban Development’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the City of Shawnee to use HUD program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS

The Office of Housing and Urban Development will ac-cept objections to its re-lease of funds and the City of Shawnee’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its ac-tual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the fol-lowing bases: (a) the certi-fication was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Shawnee; (b) the City of Shawnee has omit-ted a step or failed to make a decision or finding re-quired by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the develop-ment process have commit-ted funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by the Of-fice of Housing and Urban Development; or (d) an-other Federal agency act-ing pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a writ-ten finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmen-tal quality. Objections must be prepared and sub-mitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to the Office of Housing and Urban Development Kansas City office at 400 State Ave-nue Gateway Tower II, Kan-sas City, Kansas 66101. Po-tential objectors should contact HUD/State to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

Jeff Meyers, Mayor
