“Theyre all totally, totally melted down to the ground. Theyre, theyre destroyed,” said Larry Boyer about an overnight garage fire that destroyed five high performance vehicles, including at least one classic Camaro, at his next door neighbor’s house.

The Haysville blaze was the talk of the neighborhood this morning. It began around midnight in the 100 block of South Lamar.

“They called me last night and said that they had heard an explosion during the night,” said Jim Fahrbach, whose daughter escaped the fire with her family.

Phil the Backpack with Evan Lickly.

Every Friday during the school year, the Kansas Food Bank provides backpacks of food for children who don’t get enough to eat at home on the weekends. Now through August 5th, participating Pizza Hut restaurants across Kansas will ask customers to donate a $1 to help build backpacks for these children for the 2012-2013 school year.
“In Haysville, 61 children are helped each week with the Food 4 Kids program” said Evan Lickly manager at Pizza Hut in Haysville. “We are thrilled that all the money we collect will help children right here in our community.”
If a child does not get enough food outside of school he or she is considered food insecure. Kansas has over 158,000 food insecure children. These backpacks make a huge difference in these children’s lives.
Each backpack contains food the kids can just open and eat. For example, there may be peanut butter, pudding cups, fruit cups, cereal, beef jerky, raisins, milk and a juice box in the backpack. Each food bag costs roughly $4 to make and lasts the child for the weekend.

When Nelson Elementary School opens for the 2012 – 2013 school year on August 15, students and parents will see the addition of much needed parking spaces. Last week, workers from APAC Paving of Kansas brought in heavy machinery to remove old tennis and basketball courts on the north side of the Nelson’s grounds to make way for a new parking lot. To enhance traffic flow, the parking lot will have entrances/exits from North Delos on the east and Nelson Avenue on the west. (USD 261 Photo)
