Proclamation, public hearings among Salina City Comm. agenda items

CUNNINGHAM, KS&nbsp; — During some of Rev. Mathew Musyoki's first sermons in his new rural home 8,000 miles from where he grew up, he shared his life with the congregations of Cunningham and Penalosa Methodist churches.

In his sermons, Musyoki told his congregations of the hardships his village experienced and the collective action they would take to overcome each issue.

One of the community's most dire needs was clean drinking water.

Musyoki grew up in a small community in Kenya named Kakindu Village, where the closest water source ranged from 5 miles away in the rainy season to almost 15 miles during the dry months.

Community members in Kakindu Village had to walk these distances to gather water for general use.

The village women often performed this task every two to three days, filling up five-gallon barrels and hauling them back home, usually by hand.

Musyoki said each barrel can weigh around 50 lbs each.

"If you look at where they were getting this water some time back, in (some) places, they would go wait for hours — waiting for it to fill up," Musyoki said. "Taking the time, and then it's not very clean."

Two members of Musyoki's congregation in Cunningham decided to take action, offering to join the project and raise money within the community and beyond to help the small village.

After six years, Kakindu Village drilled its second well, providing clean drinking water to its almost 3,000 residents — through the joint efforts of hundreds of Kansans and the small Kenyan community.

In 2017, Musyoki's brother, Samuel Musyoki, began a survey to find a potential dig site for a well.&nbsp;

Samuel Musyoki contacted local engineer Charles Ngala Kithome, who found the prospect of a well in Kakindu village possible.

In 2020, after Musyoki arrived in Cunningham, Alan Albers and Don Hellar, two Cunningham Methodist Church members, joined the project.

Hellar offered 20 years of professional engineering experience, digging wells and participating in "all kinds of water projects across the state of Kansas," he said.&nbsp;

Albers focused on outreach and fund management in the community and beyond, reaching out to other churches and spreading the story of the now Kenya Water Project to the local area.

As the project picked up speed in the community late last year and early this year, Albers said more than 100 people mailed the project.

Albers sent a few informative updates to donors, and without asking for more, some would send back another donation.

"All I said was we were still trying to do more and more donations," Albers said. "It really gives you a good feeling about humans in general."

Albers said the Kenya Water Project fundraised almost $77,500 in the last two and a half years.

Major donors to the project include Penalosa Methodist Church contributed $10,000 and Pratt Methodist Church donated $8,000.

Cunningham United Methodist Church, with $8,000 and Greensburg Methodist Church, with $28,500. Individuals donated the rest of the cash.

The influx of funds allowed the project to make it through a few troubles on the first well in the village.

The Kenya Water Project finished its first well this summer, and on Friday, it finalized testing the drinking water from the second.

For most of the project, separated by 8,000 miles, both communities built trust to finish this substantial task.

Hellar said at first, he made plans to visit Kakindu Village to witness the work but changed his mind.

"After we started, I realized there was no reason for me to do that — they had things under control there," Hellar said. "We have relied entirely on Mathew's family and the organization they already had in place, and it has worked very well."

While digging the first well in spring this year, the project halted when the drill met a hard-stone layer at 500 ft deep, 100 ft short of access to water.

As the dry season grew closer, Albers, Hellar and Musyoki immediately saw the need for water. With support from local Kansans, the Kenya Water Project still provided clean water as it looked for a new dig site.

"We spent around $6,000 hauling water," Albers said. "We were paying for two truckloads of water a week."

Albers said hauling water was only possible with the pre-established work from the Kakindu community.&nbsp;

As the 3,500-gallon truckloads arrived, the community members stored the water in sizeable rain-catching drums already built by the community.

"None of these things would have ever worked if the people of Mathew's village and some of his family hadn't had the ball rolling years ago," Albers said.

In June, engineers found the second site for the first well, and as clean water gurgled from the pipe, Kakindu community members lined up to try their new water source.

Friday this week, villagers lined up once more as clean water bubbled to the surface near the village's Mikoongoni Secondary School, providing its students easy access to clean drinking water.

Musyoki said after integrating into the Cunningham and Penaloosa churches, he found that Kansan's are transparent and practical.

"In my stay here in Kansas, I have made many friends, and one of them has told me, 'there's no pretense in Kansas,'" Musyoki said. "They say what they do and do what they say... if they need to do something good, they do."

Donations to the Kakindu Village Water Project can be sent to the Cunningham Lions Club at P.O. Box 95, Cunningham, KS 67035. Checks can be addressed to Kenya Water.

Free Skin & Prostate Cancer Screenings planned October 14

By OLIVIA BERGMEIER Salina Post

On Saturday, at 7:10 p.m., 34-year-old Salina resident Christopher Kilat failed to stop at a traffic light while driving west on Crawford Street at the intersection of Crawford and Ninth Streets.

In the intersection, Kilat's black 2005 Acura struck a gray 2007 Chevrolet Impala driven by 42-year-old Salina resident Jamie Tollison while she was heading south on Ninth Street.

"Once she was struck, that caused her vehicle to veer to the west and strike a vehicle that was stopped at the light eastbound," said Salina Police Department Sergeant Kyle Tonniges.&nbsp;

Driving the vehicle, a white Ford F150, was 88-year-old Dale Hoopes from Smolan, who experienced minor injuries from the wreck.

Tonniges said the police department is still investigating whether Kilat drove while under the influence. On-site, officers reported Kilat resisting arrest and threatening to strike an officer.

The SPD suspected charges of interference with law enforcement and assault on a law enforcement officer.

After SPD officers and first responders arrived, they transported Tollison to Salina Regional Health Center with non-lethal severe injuries.&nbsp;

Saline County Jail Activity, Sept. 23-25

Make a plan when moving houseplants back indoors, says K-State horticulture expert

As fall weather approaches, it is time to start planning to bring cold-sensitive plants indoors says Kansas State University horticulture expert Cynthia Domenghini.

“Some gardeners move houseplants outdoors to bask in the summer heat and recover from the stress of an indoor environment,” Domenghini said. “Planning for their reentry to the house is important so houseplants have time to adjust to the changes in growing conditions.”

Domenghini said the first step is checking for insect pests such as mites and aphids.

“Insect pests can be dislodged by spraying the foliage with a hose,” Domenghini said. “If insects are found in the soil, soak the entire container in lukewarm water for 15 minutes.”

She recommends discarding plants with heavy infestation. Once moved indoors, continue to monitor for pests to prevent spreading throughout the house. Domenghini said plant growth will slow indoors and plants require less water and fertilization.

“Most houseplants will benefit from receiving water only when the soil surface is dry. Fertilization will likely not be necessary until spring,” Domenghini said.

Next steps include helping plants adjust to the lower light conditions indoors gradually to prevent leaf drop.

“Place plants near windows with the brightest light. Over several weeks move the plants further away until they’ve reached the desired location,” Domenghini said.

Supplemental lighting can be provided with grow lights. Domenghini said it is important to avoid cold drafts from doors and windows and heat from air vents. These extremes can put plants under stress.

Many houseplants come from tropical locations and favor humid conditions.

“Kitchens and bathrooms tend to be more humid areas inside the home. If space and lighting permits, this may be a good location for your plants,” Domenghini said. She also recommends grouping plants together to create a microclimate.

Domenghini and her colleagues in K-State's Department of Horticulture and Natural Resources produce a weekly&nbsp;<a href="https://hnr.k-state.edu/extension/info-center/newsletters/index.html">Horticulture Newsletter</a>&nbsp;with tips for maintaining home landscapes and gardens. The newsletter is available to view online or can be delivered by email each week.

Interested persons can also send their garden and yard-related questions to Domenghini at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:cdom@ksu.edu,">cdom@ksu.edu,</a>&nbsp;or contact your&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ksre.k-state.edu/about/statewide-locations.html">local K-State Research and Extension office</a>.

On Sept. 24, 1968, the TV news magazine “60 Minutes” premiered on CBS; the undercover police drama “The Mod Squad” premiered on ABC.

In 1789, President George Washington signed a Judiciary Act establishing America’s federal court system and creating the post of attorney general.&nbsp;

In 1869, thousands of businessmen were ruined in a Wall Street panic known as “Black Friday” after financiers Jay Gould and James Fisk attempted to corner the gold market.&nbsp;

In 1957, the Los Angeles-bound Brooklyn Dodgers played their last game at Ebbets Field, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0.&nbsp;

In 1960, the USS Enterprise, the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, was launched at Newport News, Virginia.&nbsp;In 1963, the U.S. Senate ratified a treaty with Britain and the Soviet Union limiting nuclear testing.

In 1969, the trial of the Chicago Eight (later seven) began. (Five were later convicted of crossing state lines to incite riots at the 1968 Democratic convention, but the convictions were ultimately overturned.)&nbsp;

In 1976, former hostage Patricia Hearst was sentenced to seven years in prison for her part in a 1974 bank robbery in San Francisco carried out by the Symbionese Liberation Army. (Hearst was released after 22 months after receiving clemency from President Jimmy Carter.)&nbsp;

In 1996, the United States and 70 other countries became the first to sign a treaty at the United Nations to end all testing and development of nuclear weapons. (The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty has yet to enter into force because of the refusal so far of eight nations — including the United States — to ratify it.)&nbsp;

In 2001, President George W. Bush ordered a freeze on the assets of 27 people and organizations with suspected links to terrorism, including Islamic militant Osama bin Laden, and urged other nations to do likewise.&nbsp;

In 2015, a stampede and crush of Muslim pilgrims occurred at an intersection near a holy site in Saudi Arabia; The Associated Press estimated that more than 2,400 people were killed, while the official Saudi toll stood at 769.&nbsp;

In 2019, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi launched a formal impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump; the probe focused partly on whether Trump abused his presidential powers and sought help from the government of Ukraine to undermine Democratic foe Joe Biden. (Trump would be acquitted by the Republican-controlled Senate on two impeachment charges.)&nbsp;

Financial incentives offered through the pilot North Central Kansas Regional Relocation Program attracted 38 new residents and assisted in the purchase of 25 homes in the region in the past year.&nbsp;

The pilot program officially launched August 15, 2022 and concluded in Spring 2023. It was available in Cloud, Ellsworth, Jewell, Lincoln, Mitchell, Ottawa, Republic and Saline counties. The program helped make home ownership more affordable for those relocating to the region by reducing the barriers of down payments and closing costs.

The North Central Regional Planning Commission (NCRPC), based in Beloit, administered the program offered by its housing non-profit, NCK Housing Opportunities, Inc. The non-profit serves Cloud, Ellsworth, Jewell, Lincoln, Mitchell, Ottawa, Republic, and Saline counties. An award from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation of Logan, Kansas, assisted in the creation of the loan and grant pool.

“This initiative would not have been possible without the generous assistance from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation and the tremendous support we received from area banks and economic development groups,” Program Manager Keegan Bailey said.

The program offered a combination of a 0% down payment assistance loan of $10,000 and closing cost grant of $2,500 when purchasing a home of $50,000 of greater. In total, it impacted 64 residents living in 25 households. Of the residents who accessed the program, 15 moved from out of state, 26 moved from within North Central Kansas, and 23 moved from elsewhere in Kansas.

 The total value of the 25 homes purchased was $3.4 million, with $312,500 coming from the pilot program. To be eligible, home buyers had to relocate to an eligible county in North Central Kansas within 18 months of the request. The primary bank loan also had to be provided by a bank having a physical location in the North Central Regional Planning Commission 12-county service area.

“The program offered new residents up to 18 months to experience all the region had to offer before staking roots here.” Bailey said. “We were really encouraged by the program’s results and positive local impacts in the region.”
