A Salina man was arrested Thursday after guns stolen during a recent aggravated burglary in Oklahoma were found in his possession.

Mark Goracke, 44, of Salina, was arrested on the following requested charges, Saline County Undersheriff Brent Melander said this morning.

Goracke's arrest was the result of a joint operation between the Saline County Sheriff's Office and the Payne County Sheriff's Office in Stillwater, Okla.

Melander said the Payne County Sheriff's Office contacted the sheriff's office on Wednesday concerning the theft of a gun safe from a rural Payne County residence. The gun safe contained 16 guns, he said.

The Payne County Sheriff's Office had information that at least some of the guns had made their way to Saline County.

The Saline County Sheriff's Office began a local investigation which resulted in the execution of a search warrant at 920 Pearl Avenue in central Salina. During the search, one of the guns stolen in Oklahoma was recovered. The search also uncovered additional information that led Saline County Sheriff's Office personnel to a second residence, where 10 more guns stolen in Oklahoma were recovered, Melander said. 

During the search, methamphetamine, hallucinogenic drugs, and drug paraphernalia also were recovered, he added.

For the second year in a row, the Salina Symphony's Symphony at Sunset concert at the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene has been canceled.

The Eisenhower Presidential Library, Eisenhower Foundation, and Salina Symphony announced this morning the cancellation of the June 5, 2021, concert. 

Officials with each organization agreed that current circumstances do not allow for such an event due to concerns from the pandemic and current guidance from federal officials, according to a news release from the Salina Symphony.

“It is with sadness we announce this cancellation. With an outdoor event of this magnitude, we are not equipped to maintain safe social distancing protocols. While we had hoped to hold this special concert, concern for the welfare of all makes such gatherings unfeasible,” states Dawn Hammatt, Eisenhower Presidential Library director.

“Symphony at Sunset is a beloved event for our musicians and patrons, and we are deeply disappointed to be unable to perform this year’s concert,” said Adrienne Allen, Salina Symphony executive director. “We very much look forward to resuming the Symphony at Sunset tradition on June 4, 2022."

Officials with each organization agreed that current circumstances do not allow for such an event due to concerns from the pandemic and current guidance from federal officials, according to a news release from the Salina Symphony.“It is with sadness we announce this cancellation. With an outdoor event of this magnitude, we are not equipped to maintain safe social distancing protocols. While we had hoped to hold this special concert, concern for the welfare of all makes such gatherings unfeasible,” states Dawn Hammatt, Eisenhower Presidential Library director.“Symphony at Sunset is a beloved event for our musicians and patrons, and we are deeply disappointed to be unable to perform this year’s concert,” said Adrienne Allen, Salina Symphony executive director. “We very much look forward to resuming the Symphony at Sunset tradition on June 4, 2022."

Flatbed trailer stolen from local store early Thursday morning

By TIM UNRUH Salina Airport Authority

A number of special times were reminisced last week by Troy Vancil and Kristin Gunn, scanning their service on the Salina Airport Authority board.

A newcomer to the board, Tod Roberg, expressed eagerness to join in these exciting times.

Changes in the lineup occurred Monday, when the Salina city commission reappointed Gunn to a second three-year term and appointed Roberg to succeed Vancil. Vancil’ s last meeting was Feb. 17 and Roberg’s first meeting is March 10. 

Serving for nine of the past 13 years, Vancil pointed to several highlights, among them the settlement with the United States that funds the cleanup of the former Schilling Air Force Base environmental contamination, the Schwan’s 400,000 square foot plant expansion that will add over 225 new jobs, and the addition of another job producer in 1Vision Aviation, to the Salina Airport and Airport Industrial Center.

“When I first came (2008), we were just starting the legal process of the cleanup. To see that come around and resolved is the most fulfilling,” said Vancil, the owner of Boulder Polishing, a concrete flooring contractor. 

“I’ve seen so much economic development happen in the last three years,” he said. “I drive by 1Vision (at the Big Bertha hangar) and there are three times as many cars out there as there was back in October.”

The Schilling clean-up project is what drove Gunn, a retired chemistry and biology teacher at Salina Central High School, and a former Salina city commissioner, to seek an airport authority board position three years ago.

“Remediation of groundwater contamination at the former Schilling Air Force Base is very important. It has been a rewarding experience to be a member of the team that has kept this long-awaited project on track.”

Gunn appreciates the partnership with United Airlines that has made a huge difference in providing comfortable and consistent travel to Denver and Chicago, as well as convenient connections east and west. “Obviously air travel decreased in 2020, but United is committed to providing service as the demand returns.”

The educator lauded Kansas State University Polytechnic and Salina Area Technical College contributions to Salina’s recent success.

“(K-State) is a respected leader in providing training for pilots and unmanned aircraft,” she said. “Salina Technical College is another great partner. The institution is well aware of the education and employment training needed for future work force and is committed to providing the programs to prepare students to fill a number of employment opportunities. There is so much going on. We’ve been very busy.”

Gunn mentioned the CARES Act funding that is being used for infrastructure and equipment improvements. Plans are underway to identify future air terminal needs. She also complimented SAA staff on their efforts to make the Schwan’s expansion and 1 Vision projects possible. 

As a businessman and aviation enthusiast, Roberg has been involved in much of the activity at&nbsp;the airport and airport industrial center. Roberg is a private pilot with four airplanes housed in hangars at the airport, his daughter, Jill, is a commercial pilot with Republic Airlines, and his son, Russell, is a private pilot.

His company, T&amp;R Construction, has been doing the demolition, mass excavation and site grading for the Schwan’s expansion project.

“There’s a lot of construction projects coming up out there, and a lot of good things going on in&nbsp;Salina,” Roberg said. “It’s good to see Schwan’s making this kind of commitment to our community.”

He also owns American Sand &amp; Gravel and Salina Engine, both local firms.

Added to all the encouraging developments, Vancil and Gunn mentioned the people they’ve been so blessed to associate with over the years, specifically, Tim Rogers, airport authority executive director and his staff members.

“I can’t thank Tim enough for all of the relationships he has developed. He knows everybody and nurtures those relationships. He is always ready to respond to business and grant opportunities, and knows whom to call for advice and support,” Gunn said.

Vancil expressed appreciation for “all the leg work” Rogers and his staff do before issues come to the board.

“I don’t think I’ve asked Tim a question yet that he didn’t have a viable answer for,” Vancil said.

Most cherished, he said, is “the people I’ve gotten to meet and work with. Economic development is a lot of people working together as one team, working toward the same goal.”

“Having jet service in Salina has been a big change, and what a transformation we’ve had in downtown Salina,” he said. “It’s quality of life, to help younger people want to stay here and recruiting people here.”

“A lot of times, people bring certain things to the board. I feel I’ve benefited more than I gave, just from the people I’ve been around and learned from.”

Vancil added that he will always be available to the airport authority, if needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Saline County Jail Booking Activity, Feb. 26

WICHITA --&nbsp;Wichita State Director of Athletics&nbsp;Darron Boatright&nbsp;announced Friday that he will remove the interim tag from men’s basketball coach&nbsp;Isaac Brown.

Brown has verbally agreed to a five-year deal and will be formally introduced on Monday as the 26th&nbsp;full-time coach in program history.

Brown will also become the first Black men’s basketball coach ever to lead a Division I program in the state of Kansas.

Known around college basketball as a player’s coach and people person, Brown steadied the ship through turbulent times early in the season.

Picked seventh in the American Athletic Conference preseason poll, Wichita State (13-4, 9-2) is currently in first-place with two games remaining.

Brown assumed the interim role on Nov 18, 2020 – just eight days before the team’s scheduled opener. COVID-19 protocol forced the Shockers out of the Crossover Classic in Sioux Falls, and the team played and practiced shorthanded over the next two weeks, resulting in early December losses to NCAA tournament contenders Missouri and Oklahoma State.

After a 1-2 start, Brown’s Shockers have since won 12 of their last 14 games -- capped by last week’s upset of No. 6 Houston -- and are now receiving votes in both national polls.

Brown, 51, is in his seventh season at WSU – the first six as an assistant under Gregg Marshall.

WSU has won over three-quarters of its games since Brown’s 2014 arrival, going 170-54 (.759) highlighted by four straight NCAA tournament bids (2014-18) and a run to the NIT semifinals in 2019.

Brown is in his 19th&nbsp;season overall at the Division I level, having also served as an assistant at Louisiana Tech (2011-14), Arkansas State (2010-11), Arkansas (2007-10) and South Alabama (2002-07).

Combined, Brown’s teams have posted 11 20-win seasons, made 10 postseason appearances, and won eight regular season titles across four conferences (C-USA, MVC, Sun Belt, WAC).

The Pascagoula, Miss., native was a standout point guard in college, helping Louisiana-Monroe to a berth in the 1993 NCAA tournament. He owns a bachelor’s degree from ULM in health and physical education.
