A Paola man was arrested last week

Linn County and leading police and sher-

three counties.

Benjamin O. Wobker, 32, was booked

into the Lyon County Jail in Emporia,

Kan., following the June 29 incident.

According to a news release, a Lyon

County Sheriff’s deputy initiated a ve-

Youths to get a taste of different culture

by chase jordan

A group of church mem-bers worked hard last week for a trip to the Big Apple.

On a warm Wednesday afternoon, several members

from the Grace Community Church of the Nazarene worked on collecting 400 bales of hay behind the field of the church. The hay will assist in the cost of a mis-sion trip to Jamaica Queens, New York.

LaDonna Miller, youth sponsor, will be one of four sponsors that will assist 17 youths. Miller said they wanted to pick other loca-tions like Texas and Michi-gan, but the spots were al-ready filled.

“I think it’s good for the kids to see something out-side of their own community and see a different culture,”

Miller said. “It makes them appreciate what they have.”

On July 17, they will leave Spring Hill in a passenger van. She said the teens will not be allowed to bring cer-tain things they are accus-tomed to having.

“The girls can’t bring straighteners or curling irons,” she said. “They are also leaving their iPods at

home.” Miller said they will stay

inside a church that’s not air conditioned.

She said she is a little nervous about traveling to New York, which is differ-ent than the Spring Hill environment.

Lennie Martin, who

After turning 18, a recent Spring Hill graduate re-ceived a huge surprise for his birthday.

Lennie Martin received 18 $1 bills from his parents for his 18th birthday. He later went to Hometown Liquors

located on Webster Street in Spring Hill, since he was now the legal age to pur-chase lottery tickets.

Martin purchased nine $2 Bonus Crossword tickets.

“Out of the nine tickets I bought, I won $22,” Martin said in a release from Kan-sas Lottery. “I was happy with that. Since it was my birthday, I thought I’d try

The sounds of Frank Sina-tra will soon come to Spring Hill.

Songs of Sinatra, a singer and Academy Award win-ning actor, will be performed by The Festival Choir and The Festival Ensemble next week.

“We are not impersonat-ing or imitating Frank Sina-tra by any means,” said Eric Jones, piano player and di-rector of the ensemble.

Jones said Sinatra’s music

was selected because of the universal appeal of the artist who sang “Strangers in the Night,” and “My Way.”

“He recorded a lot,” Jones said. “It’s been difficult to twiddle it down to an hour,” said Jones, who has been a fan of Sinatra all his life.

The Festival Choir and The Festival Ensemble began in 2005, with members of the Spring Hill United Meth-odist Church, and later in-cluded others from various communities.

“It truly has become a com-munity supported, fine arts group and we’re glad to see that,” Jones said.

Jones and the ensem-ble will be assisted by Jon Daugharthy and Monica Lester. They have performed

as featured soloist in previ-ous concerts. Todd Davis will play percussion.

Proceeds from the dinner will go towards the ensem-bles that perform for Christ-mas and Easter. Prices for the event are $25 per couple and $15 for one person.

Julie Joeckel, coordinator of the ensembles, said about one-third of the show is al-ready sold out.

“The seating is extremely limited, so I encourage people not wait,” Joeckel said.

“Ol’ Blue Eyes,” a musical tribute to Sinatra, is sched-uled for 5 p.m. July 18 at the Spring Hill Community Center, 613 S. Race St. For more information call (913) 592-3660, or e-mail [email protected].

The Spring Hill Ruritans are gearing up to ride for charity.

The Small town Kan-sas Dice Run is scheduled for July 25. A rain date is scheduled for Aug. 1.

Every year, the Spring Hill Ruritans give scholar-ships to students so they can further their educa-tion. The event, which fea-tures a ride and live auc-tion, will benefit the schol-arship fund.

The ride is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. at Power-sports 4 Less, 123 S. Main St. and end at El Tapa-tio, 22362 S. Harrison St., Spring Hill.

Mike Hackemeyer, pres-ident of the Spring Hill Ruritans, said last year’s motorcycle event was more of a bike show. He said the new event will engage more people.

why men only shop

for clothes once

or twice a year. I like the

once a year plan myself,

but I have been known to

get tricked into it on more

than one occasion.

When you need some

new pants, however, you

need some new pants.

I had a heck of a month

for my favorite pants. You

know, the ones that fi t,

are comfortable and look

good.Hard to get a pair that

fi t all three categories,

even when you are buy-

ing them right off the

shelf.So, when you get a pair

like that, they are on the

team for life.Life for a pair of my

white khaki pants ended

in May at the Class 4A

state track and fi eld meet.

I wore them to cover

the state competition

and ended up having

the red color of the track

lanes transfer to the

pants where the stain

remained. So, they were

trashed during a trip to

St. Louis.My favorite black

slacks, well, they can still

be fi xed, but I still have

to send them off with a

friend.This was more than a

little embarrassing, that’s

why I feel compelled to

share the story. I was

covering an American

Legion baseball game,

set the scorebook on the

ground to take pictures,

to print out and use later

to write my story, when I

bent down a little bit and

heard a tear.You don’t want to hear

Phillies take Major title from Royals in last at bat

BY GENE MORRIS

The lead changed hands

seven times in seven in-

nings, but when the dust

settled the Phillies pushed

two runs across in the bot-

tom of the sixth and pulled

out a 9-8 thriller against

the Royals to win the Paola

Cal Ripken Major Division

championship.Tanner Karigan singled

to open the bottom of the

sixth inning. Tristan Geiger

walked with one out. Karig-

an came all the way around

and ended up scoring on a

wild pitch. Geiger scored

on a wild pitch for the game

winner.It was a back-and-forth

battle for six innings, bring-

ing fans on both sides to

their feet at times on June

30 and holding their breath

in the next moment.

Karigan and Geiger’s

swipes of home plate erased

an 8-7 lead Dylan Dreil-

ing gave the Royals with

a line drive shot to center

fi eld which kept going and

cleared the fence for a two-

run homer. The Royals just

couldn’t hold the lead in the

bottom of the sixth.

Steven Forschle and Dreil-

ing reached in the fi rst in-

ning and scored, putting

the Royals on top 2-0. Collin

Graves and Joe Buchman

also reached in the frame for

the Royals.Jace Trumbly, Keith Peu-

ser and Geiger scored in the

bottom of the fi rst inning as

the Phillies took a one-run

lead.

The second inning was

quiet for both sides. The Roy-

als went down in order. Gei-

ger reached for the Phillies

and was stranded at second

base.Dreiling reached and

scored in the top of the third

inning for the Royals, tying

the game 3-3.Trumbly got on base to

open the Phillies’ third in-

ning and scored for a 4-3

lead.Karigan, a hard thrower

who started the game for the

Phillies, reached base in the

fourth inning and scored to

make it a two-run lead, 5-3.

The Royals would not go

quietly into the dark night.

Not without a fi ght.

Joel Auten, the Royals

starter, singled to start the

fi fth inning. Clay Burnett

followed with a single.

The stage was set for Col-

lin Graves, who drove home

two runs with a double.

Graves then scored, high-

Royals’ center � elder Collin Graves ran back to the fence and grabbed this line drive right in

front of his face to rob the Phillies of an extra base hit in the Paola Cal Ripken Major Division
