Rossville Pride News

Rossville PRIDE

January 24, 2018

Notes

Reported by Christi McKenzie

The window display at Dr. Kratina’s building on Main Street was very well received by the community. Tracy Taylor reported that she heard many positive comments at City Hall. Lisa Thornburg plans to change the display for Valentines Day and see what comes next. Next year for Christmas, it would be great to expand the tree displays in other windows on Main Street.

Shelly Buhler and Lisa made the flower pots on Main Street look festive for the winter season. Discussed ideas to improve the display next year.

The Veteran’s Day celebration with the American Legion was well received. Tracey made a delicious cake for the reception.  The veterans liked the engraved bricks and many were surprised by the bricks that were bought for them. City Hall has received several more orders since November. The bricks were picked up and will be installed during Spring Break. Thank you to  Alan McKenzie, Nicholas McKenzie, Lisa T, Shelly, Ann Foster and Christi for laying down the bricks. People can still continue to to order bricks. The form is online.

Andrick Park is a great addition to Main Street. A big thank you to the City Utility Department, Alan Zlatnik and Brad Kirk for the Christmas light and decorations. Christi reports that the City Council is working to get wifi at the Gazebo, hopefully by early summer. The PIP grant for the landscaping in Andrick Park is completed. The volunteers completed the project in one evening. The City has done a great job watering during the summer to keep all of the plants alive and growing. The last part of the plan from Laci Foster is to add peonies. Christi will contact Brenda Brown to see if the Andrick family wants to donate some peonies from their yards this spring. Peonies could be ordered in fall to bloom next year.

Lisa Stum has been working with the California Oregon Trail Association and National Parks Service for a sign that tells Rossville’s story on the trail. An anonymous donation had been made to help fund the sign. (Update: At the February Council Meeting Lisa received information from the NPS to begin designing the sign and the Council approved to move forward with the project)

Lisa Thornburg presented an idea for a PRIDE project grant. The border between Andrick Park and the neighboring houses looks unfinished. After doing some research, she presented the idea of a series of privacy screens that would coordinate with the Gazebo. Japanese Lilac trees could be planted between each screen. Barn Quilts could be hung on each screen. Local artist could paint the quilts to be displayed on the fence or at their homes. Lisa will look for an artist who could give classes and helpful hints. The barn quilts would be added to the Flint Hills Barn Quilt trail. The quilts could tie in historically with the Oregon Trail. Christi will apply for a PRIDE grant for the projects and ask for approval from the City Council. (Update the City Council gave approval for the fence, if funded)

The Kindness Project was presented by Lisa. Small stones are painted with designs or words and then left on public property for someone to find. The stones would say Rossville Rocks and Kansas Rocks with hashtags. TASMAD students will help to paint rocks.  People will be invited to participate in the kindness project utilizing the PRIDE facebook page. We hope to have the project ready for the Regional Conference. It will be fun to see where the rocks go.

Rossvile PRIDE has been asked to host the Kansas PRIDE regional conference on April 24. The conference is in the evening and feature talks about small community improvements and involvement and ideas about fundraising. Kansas PRIDE will give an update on programs and the partnership with the Kansas Masonic Lodge. Other locations hosting are Haysville, Kinsley, Iola and Grainfield.

            
It was decided to contact Todd Brown to use his building at 419 Main Street. (Update he said sure and welcomed the use of the building) April 23 is National Picnic Day, so we are going to celebrate a day later. We will serve a fried chicken meal with possible sides of baked beans, cole slaw, potato salad, macaroni salad, jello salad, and of course homemade pie. Kansas PRIDE will make a flier and collect registrations. We are hoping for 30 to 40 people to attend in Rossville.

The Rossville Community Foundation Celebration dinner is Sat.  April 7. Lisa will again design and decorate a table for the dinner. She will also create a display highlighting the projects that the Foundation and PRIDE have partnered, including Andrick Park, Pancake Breakfast, POP Art auction and Main Street.

Jerry Schwilling is curious about creating a dog park. There are a few location that may work. We will continue to research the idea.

The next meeting has not been scheduled yet.

Isaiah Luellen Wins State At 160#

From the Capital-Journal:

HAYS — When Isaiah Luellen captured the 160-pound Class 3-2-1A state title last year as a junior, it was a pretty emotional moment for the Rossville standout.

For starters, he had come close as a sophomore, finishing runner-up at 152 pounds after a one-point loss in the finals. Furthermore, the title as a junior allowed Luellen to join his older brother, Isaac, as a state champion for the Bulldawgs, whom he admitted after the title he’d “looked up to his whole life.”

But the emotions that came with last year’s state title were nothing compared to the ones he experienced Saturday in Hays as he successfully defended his 160-pound state title.

After pulling out a 12-10 overtime win over Scott City’s Jarret Jurgens in Friday’s semifinals, Luellen dominated in the championship match for the second straight year with a 12-4 major decision victory over Plainville’s Jordan Finnesy.

Afterward, Luellen couldn’t fight off the emotions or tears.

“This one is so much more satisfying, so much more,” said Luellen, who capped a 23-0 senior season with the dominating effort.

The emotions behind Luellen’s victory were two-fold.

A series of offseason knee surgeries left not only Luellen’s senior season in question, but his future in the sport completely in doubt. In fact, doctors told him he might not wrestle again.

But Luellen fought back to return to the form that made him a champion and four-time state placer. And any time things got rough in the work it took to get there, Luellen had no trouble finding a source of inspiration.

For most of his wrestling career, Luellen could lean on former Bulldawg standout Cody Lambotte as a coach, mentor and friend. Lambotte was diagnosed with ALS last year, forcing him to give up his coaching duties and relegating Lambotte to a wheelchair for the weekend in Hays.

That’s motivation.

“With Coach Lambotte dealing with ALS, it makes this that much better because I get to do it for him,” Luellen said. “I just give the win to him. ... What I’ve gone through is nothing compared to what he’s going through. To see him over there in the practice room, at the meets — it’s just all for him.”

Luellen admitted he was a bit nervous going into the title match, despite taking out No. 2 Jurgens in the semifinals. But it didn’t take long to feel at ease.

“After that first takedown, I knew I had it,” he said. “I just felt it.”

Luellen built a 4-1 first-period lead with a pair of takedowns and just kept adding to it. Finnesy’s only points came on escapes and Luellen finished with six takedowns.

He finishes his career with a 130-18 record, two state titles, a runner-up finish and a fourth.

Kyle Parr At MSSU

Kyle Parr, son of Howard and Rhonda Parr, is a sophomore at Missouri Southern State University where he is a heptathlete during the indoor season (7 events) and a decathlete in the outdoor season (10 events). He beat his best in long jump, hurdles and won the 1000 in a meet this weekend.

Arrest Made In Rossville

Report from Rossville Police Dept.

February 23rd, 2018 near US 24 & Pearl in Rossville at approximately 7pm: The on-duty Rossville Officer witnessed an SUV towing a pickup on a car trailer drive westbound from the Casey’s Convenience Store parking lot with an illegal white tail light (instead of red). The SUV was stopped just west of the Cross Creek bridge. The tag and registration were found to be both expired and from a totally different vehicle. The illegal 2018 registration decal was defaced to conceal that it was from a third separate vehicle. A Silver Lake Police Officer was requested to respond for backup. Further investigation revealed the tag on the trailer was not valid and it was from a different trailer as well. The vehicle being towed on the trailer for sale that night in Junction City was not in the suspect’s name and was registered to another person although the suspect believed he could sell it as abandoned. The suspect had no proof of insurance, no proof of ownership of either of the vehicles or the trailer, no valid tags or registrations, and an extensive criminal history. The suspect faces multiple misdemeanor registration and traffic charges in Rossville Municipal Court. The tags were seized as evidence and the vehicles and trailer towed away by a wrecker service pending release with valid proof of ownership. The suspect was not from the local area and neither the vehicles nor the trailer were reported as stolen at the time of the incident.

Luellen To Wrestle For Championship

From the Capital-Journal:

HAYS — He was told he might not get the chance to wrestle again.

Forget that. Saturday night he’ll get the chance to defend his state championship.

Scoring a 12-10 sudden victory in Friday’s Class 3-2-1A 160-pound semifinals at Gross Memorial Coliseum, top-ranked Rossville senior Isaiah Luellen was extra emotional. Given the circumstances, who could blame him?

“I got told I wasn’t going to wrestle again,” Luellen said. “Just have to thank my lord and savior, Jesus Christ. I am so glad to be here.”

And he’s right back in a spot that is all-too-familiar, even after a serious leg injury nearly altered his plans.

Luellen scored two technical falls then the sudden victory against No. 2-ranked Scott City senior Jarrett Jurgens, and now will match up Saturday with No. 4-ranked Plainville sophomore Jordan Finnesy.

He knows he’ll have to do better than he did Friday, saying he never should have let the semifinal match end that way.

“Closer than I would have liked it to be,” Luellen said. “Just glad I got the win, and it’s time to finish business tomorrow.”

Luellen is the defending state champion at 160 and now is guaranteed to be a four-time state placer.

But he still couldn’t hold his emotions back following the thrilling win. Afterward, he rushed over to give a hug to former Rossville coach Cody Lambotte, who continues his battle with ALS and is limited to a wheel chair.

“I like to give a lot of this win to him, too,” Luellen said of Lambotte, who coached his junior title campaign. “Just special I can dedicate it to him. He’s helped me so much.”

Luellen carries a 22-0 mark into Saturday’s title match, while Finnesy is 37-2. The Plainville sophomore knocked off Doniphan West senior Zeb Speer, 7-2, to make his first title match after going 1-2 as a freshman.

Isaiah Luellen Ready For State

Isaiah Luellen is just 19-0 after recovering from a serious leg injury that put his entire senior season in doubt. The reigning 160-pound champion skipped the Mid-East League meet two weeks ago, but was dominant at regionals with three pins and a technical fall win.

“I can just see myself improving every week,” Luellen said after winning at the Silver Lake Invitational in early February. “It’d been 10 months since I stepped foot on the mat. It’s been tough, but I’m getting back to where I was.”

The three-time state placer is ranked No. 1 at 160 with Scott City’s Jarret Jurgens (32-1) No. 2. They are on the same side of the bracket and could meet in the semifinals on Saturday at Gross Coliseum in Hays.

Drug Arrest In Rossville

ROSSVILLE, Kan. (WIBW) -- K9 Officer Trent Stanley of the Rossville Police Department has been involved in law enforcement since 2008, and with Rossville for over 5 years.

"It's kind of a family business. My grandfather worked for the Capital Police and my dad, he worked for the Topeka Police Department," Stanley said. "Then I just wanted to serve the community."

Officer Stanley says he wants to make a difference in the community and in a small time like Rossville, the impact can be seen when he shows up for work everyday.

This is a small town community that everybody knows everyone," Rossville Police Chief Jason Connell said. "To have the type of caliber of officer that Trent Stanley is, is remarkable."

The population of Rossville may be just over 1,100 people, but that doesn't mean large scale issues don't make their way to city, as was the case in February of 2017.

“It started with me patrolling the area, me stopping and talking to one of the local people in the community and they started saying how there's been a lot of activity at a certain residence," Stanley said. "I just went to someone and worked them as a CI, which is a confidential informant, and started buying 20 dollar bags of marijuana.”

From there, Stanley worked his way up the ladder, from informant to dealer to supplier to grower. That chase led him to a grow in Colorado.

"It was a 115 plant operation, about 200 to 300 pounds of precious metals was seized, 15 weapons were seized," Stanley said. "We got several pounds of marijuana out of the area, cocaine out of the area, weapons of the street. 31 weapons were seized in the Rossville area."

Stanley believes that getting drugs off the streets of Rossville will have an impact on other crimes.

"I just enjoy protecting the citizens and making it the safest place I can for the citizens," Stanley said. "You see more of a impact in a smaller community."

Amanda Hill At Wesleyan

Kansas Wesleyan’s Amanda Hill is healthy, is getting accustom to college basketball and, most importantly and impressively, has found her shooting touch from long range.

Hill, a freshman forward from Rossville, spent a chunk of first semester battling an illness. Just about the time she started feeling better the holiday break arrived, making continuity and confidence tough to come by.

Hill, though, is optimistic her luck has turned as evidence by her performance Saturday night. She scored a team- and career-high 19 points that included 5 of 6 shooting from 3-point range as Coyotes crushed York 79-45 at Mabee Arena.

KWU improves to 11-9 overall, 8-4 in the Kansas Conference, while York falls to 4-14 and 1-11.

Wesleyan led 39-18 at halftime and made it a rout by outscoring the Panthers 29-13 the third quarter. Hill led the way with four 3-pointers the final 3:18 of the quarter.

“Once I hit that first one I thought, ‘Just keep shooting it,’” Hill said. “I was still open so I just kept shooting it. I kept going and just got hot.”

Hill finished the game 6 of 10 from the field and 2 of 2 at the foul line in 13 ½ minutes of play.

“I’m really happy for Amanda, she played really well,” KWU coach Ryan Showman said. “She was part of the extra passes that led to open shots and she knocked them down.

“She was really starting to find that stride (first semester), then she got sick and then we go into break. Now she’s come back and is giving great minutes in the rotation. She is producing for us and that’s what we need.”

“I think I’m getting more confidence each game,” Hill said.

Gabbie Miller had 15 points and six rebounds as the Coyotes shot 39.7 percent (27 of 68) and won the rebounding battle 45-29. York shot 31 percent (17 of 55) and had 24 turnovers that led to 35 KWU points.

Showman was pleased with the third-quarter blitz.

“At halftime I thought we had some execution issues of offense,” he said. “We were taking quick threes, I didn’t think they were great threes and we weren’t making them. If we have empty possessions offensively and then they get in rhythm and make some shots, they’re back in this thing. For teams like that to hang around in the fourth quarter, they’re going to find a way to win. We didn’t want that.

“That was the challenge coming and out at halftime and wow, they answered the call. They got better shots, they made extra passes and they hit open threes.”
