Haysville Team Takes 2nd in Kansas Cal Ripken Tournament of Champions

Posted on    by

I received the following from Adam Tackett, coach of the 8 & Under Haysville Rookie 2 baseball team that was one of the teams representing their league in the Kansas Cal Ripken Tournament of Champions this year that was played in Oswego Ks July 19-22.

Our team was made up of players from three different teams from the league this year in the Rookie 2 division. The Royals, the Cardinals and the Scrappers. Our first game was Friday July 20 vs. Neosho River Valley Mudcats in which both teams battled out in a slug fest with Haysville finishing on top with a final score of 19-17. Our second game was played Saturday July 21 vs. the Canton-Galva Eagles. Haysville again played an amazing game defeating the Eagles in four innings 12-2. This put our Haysville team in first place in the American league pool to proceed on to bracket play for Sunday afternoon in which Haysville battled out against a very tough match up vs Columbus that ended in victory for our Haysville team with a final score of 16-7 sending them to the Championship
game Sunday evening.

The Championship game put a matchup of Haysville vs. Humbolt. Both teams had been undefeated the entire tournament and carried tremendous momentum in the final game. Although Haysville lead the entire game up to the last pitch of the last inning, Humbolt battled back for an impressive victory over Haysville for a final score of 12-11 placing our Haysville Rookie 2 team in second place in the
state of Kansas in the Cal Ripken League.

Parents and Coaches are very proud of the boys for battling it out in the extreme heat conditions and playing so hard and never giving up!

From KWCH.com…

“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.

Haysville Pizza Hut Is Teaming Up With The Kansas Food Bank’s Food-4-Kid’s Program

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.

To help hungry children in Haysville, visit the Pizza Hut and become a “Child Hunger Hero” today!

Nelson Elementary School Gets Much Needed Additional Parking Spaces

Posted on    by

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)

Independence Day Aftermath

Posted on    by

Some post Independence Day questions triggered by the above photo…
Is Haysville deserved of its “white trash” reputation?
Would this scene make our founding Fathers proud?
Is this stupidity or ignoranance?
Would either of the above justify setting off fireworks on someone elses property and leaving the trash?
Do the people who did this even know what year the Declaration of Independence was signed let alone what it means?
Do the offenders pay property tax?
Do the offenders even pay income tax?
What if everybody did this?
What would Jesus do?
After I left the scene of the crime I thought to myself, what does this make me to stop, take pictures, fuss about it, then leave it?
Could I possibly have paid for a portion of these fireworks?

Guilt set in and I went back and picked up the trash.

Whats pictured above was just the tip of the iceberg.
