Haysville resident Roger Neugent shared the following sad news…

I thought that many of the people of Haysville who have visited Riggs Park, its pond, and who have fished or fed the geese might want to know that the Gray Goose, “Momma Goose” to some, was killed by two dogs that were roaming the park around Friday, March 1st or Saturday March 2nd. Two boys witnessed the attack, which took place in a drainage ditch between Riggs Park and Colt Stadium, and described two dogs that were also seen roaming Van Arsdale Ave. on Sunday March 3rd. One was a young Chocolate Lab mix with a pinkish collar and the other was a small, older, long-haired Yellow Lab mix missing a rear leg.
The carcass was removed the following Monday and the Haysville Police department was notified and patrols were informed to keep an eye out for that pair of “killer” dogs.

A few days have passed since Haysville Mayor Ken Hampton quit Haysville Forward Inc., the city’s economic development group, and he’s had time to reexamine the situation.

Not much has changed, although Hampton has decided he’ll allow the group to continue to meet at City Hall.

“We’re going to go ahead and allow them to meet where they have been meeting.”

He and the city’s other representative on the committee won’t be there, though, because of Hampton’s frustration over losing a March 1 vote to continue as the group’s president.
