Haysville, KS – Mayor Ken Hampton announced the receipt of a grant awarded to the City through the Community Resource Act (CRA) program, administered by the Kansas State University Division of Continuing Education. Mayor Hampton stated, “I appreciate the efforts of our Planning Coordinator Jeana Morgan in securing this funding for our Community.” The $4,000 grant will be used to establish and operate community resource programs, community education programs, and community development programs.

Surveys were given to the public to help develop class ideas based on the desired education opportunities expressed from the surveys. The Haysville Educational Learning Partners (HELP) has been established to help implement classes such as: Self Defense for Women; Weight Loss; Senior Scrapbooking; Budgeting; Hunter Safety. Classes will be offered at little or no cost to the participants.

CRA program leaders believe that by assisting communities such as Haysville, they can provide for the educational, recreational, social, and cultural needs of the community. Program leaders encourage utilizing volunteers to teach skills and educate those in the community. The City is currently looking for volunteers to teach classes. If you have a skill or talent and are interested in teaching a class, please contact Planning/Community Relations Coordinator Jeana Morgan at 316-529-5900.

Ive heard of a “meth lab” but not a “meth church”. Also think Hays is a long ways to drive for pancakes.

Kidding aside Im assuming this is the Haysville Lions Clubs annual pancake feed here in Haysville at the Haysville United Methodist Church 601 E Grand. The Lions Club does good things for Haysville. Support them and fill your tummy at the same time.

Russell and Scott aka “the CineManiacs”

File this under “Where are they now?”…
Russell Pinkston spent most of his childhood years here in Haysville before moving to the Ozarks. In the past hes contributed his Haysville photos to HOLs photo album. Currently Russell and his friend Scott Roberts give movie reviews via webcam video which are then shown on the Reelz Channel (299-Dish Network, 238-Directv) on a show called Movie Mob hosted by Travis Oscarson. Russell and Scott go by the name of CineManiacs and compete in this “movie review game show” against other amateur movie reviewers. After the show viewers are asked to vote for their favorite review at ReelzChannel.com. The 2 won the traveling trophy in their very first week on the show. If you have satellite tv check them out Saturday mornings at 8:00.

From the Wichita Eagle…

Serious traffic accidents indeed are rare in Haysville. Kansas Department of Transportation records show it’s among the safest places to drive in Kansas.

Of the 37 Kansas cities with more than 10,000 residents, none averaged fewer traffic accidents per capita from 2004 through 2008.
