Saline County Jail Bookings, November 21

After many years of neglect for the supply of quality drinking water for the residents of Sundowner West Mobile Home Park, there is still hope.&nbsp;

Last year, Sundowner got major publicity after recurring issues such as undrinkable water, inconsistent billing and lack of communication from Sundowner's water easement rights owner, Scott Kolling. 

Nonprofits such as the Salvation Army of Salina, stepped in to alleviate the situation by providing water bottles and food for the residents. 

Resident and spokesperson for the 'frustrated' residents of Sundowner, Misty Livingston-Holmes still has hope and states that she will not 'give up.'

Livingston-Holmes describes that as of 2025, there have still been 'ongoing issues' with how the water is functioning at the trailer park.

"It's okay, then it's not," said&nbsp;Livingston-Holmes. "Sometimes I will turn on my faucet and I will get a whole bunch of black stuff coming out."

Livingston-Holmes stated the water is not as bad as last year's fiasco, yet herself and the residents have still been facing the same recurring issues for the past several years.

Learn the full story: <a href="https://salinapost.com/posts/fbf51323-7eb3-4f6c-8e69-37dea91cc2e6">Years of neglect causes water crisis at Sundowner Mobile Home and Trailer Park</a>

<a href="https://salinapost.com/posts/fbf51323-7eb3-4f6c-8e69-37dea91cc2e6"></a>As Kolling is known to be the "one to blame" for the ongoing water crisis at the trailer park, there seems to be no course of action taking place from himself according to many State officials, county officials, residents of Sundowner and water well service companies.

Kolling took over as the overseer of the water pumps/utility infrastructure a few years back and Livingston-Holmes has stated that ever since Kolling took over the job, 'a lot of the problems began.'

Livingston-Holmes stated that her and the residents have still been facing the ongoing issues of 'inconsistent billing.' 

She commented that Kolling has been 'double-billing' and that whenever a bill is received, confusion arises with the differences of the current and previous balances.&nbsp;

Once the current balance is paid for,&nbsp;Livingston-Holmes states that she does not understand why&nbsp;she has a previous balance that is higher than the current. She commented that she does not pay for it,&nbsp;because she said that 'Kolling does not describe where it comes from.' 

Livingston-Holmes will then send a text to Kolling seeking an explanation on the billing, but said that he 'does not respond' or provide a possible solution.

"There's just random numbers that I don't even know where he is getting them from," said&nbsp;Livingston-Holmes.

Throughout the 'inconsistent billing,'&nbsp;Livingston-Holmes describes that she only uses the water to shower and do laundry.&nbsp;

"Pretty much that is the only way we consume the water that comes out and sadly we are forced to bathe in that kind of water," said Livingston-Holmes. "We don't brush our teeth with that water and showers are very quick."

Not only has the water been non-consumable, but it has also affected&nbsp;Livingston-Holmes' home. 

She stated that her toilet had to be replaced due to the water because it is 'disgusting.'

"The water is that poor, that you have to replace your appliances," said Livingston-Holmes. "We made replacements for our bathroom floor and appliances, as well as have sewer backup maintenance. We also have to resort to getting water from the store."

Although these recurring issues have been happening, actions have been taking place to solve the problem.

A lawsuit was filed against Kolling by the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) for a&nbsp;<a href="https://lsd.law/define/certificate-of-convenience-and-necessity">Certificate of Convenience and Necessity&nbsp;</a>,&nbsp;which would allow them to&nbsp;grant the services that is needed by the public and is in the public interest.

The current status of the lawsuit is not known at the moment, but Salina Post will provide updates once known.

Saline&nbsp;County Commissioner, Joe Hay is aware of the current situation, but has stated that ‘his hands are tied.’ Hay commented that he has discussed this issue with several different agencies and government bodies.&nbsp;

According to Hay a mortgage foreclosure notice has been filed against Kolling, after agencies such as <a href="https://rediclean.com/">Redi Clean Water Well Rehab (Little River, KS)</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://waterwiseenterprises.com/">WaterWise Enterprises (Oxford, KS)</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.waltonplumbingandheating.com/">Walton Plumbing and Heating</a> have not 'received any payments' for the well and sewage services conducted at Sundowner.

“I am very upset that the water is not drinkable and that it has not gotten any better," said Hay.

Don Teeters of Redi Clean stated that Sudowner has been issued several 'do not drink orders.' 

Redi Clean, along with Walton Plumbing and Heating conducted water well services at Sundowner for manganese issues and Teeters commented that they never received any form of payment from Kolling.&nbsp;

Teeters stated that the foreclosure was decided to be put on Sundowner (Kolling) and the proceedings have already been taking place.&nbsp;

"Kolling would be out of a job if the foreclosure goes through," said Teeters. "Sundowner has had bad publicity for over 4 years and things may start be getting a little better."

A set court date for the foreclosure is set to occur on December 3, 2025.

Just recently on Sunday, November 16 a <a href="https://salinapost.com/posts/c66087d4-bd57-4f64-bbd3-1029c29b1b9b">boil advisory was issued at Sundowner.</a>

The&nbsp;Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) issued the advisory due to a waterline break, which resulted in a loss of pressure in the distribution system.

According to the KDHE, the advisory will remain in effect, until the conditions that placed the system at risk of bacterial contamination are resolved.

Salina Post will provide an update once the advisory is rescinded.

Hay stated the residents "seem to be doing okay," despite the advisory.&nbsp;

"We are moving forward, slowly," said Hay. "I really want to get this taken care of."

Salina Post has contacted Scott Kolling for a comment several times, and has not reached back out.

The Salina Family YMCA was honored to welcome lifelong member Pat Bolen and former CEO Phil Guries for a special visit and tour.

At 89 years old, Pat hadn’t been inside the Y in more than six years and was eager to see the many exciting changes made since his last, visit as well as to take a walk down memory lane. Pat has a deep history with the YMCA, remembering when it first moved from its downtown location to its current home. Over the years, he served on the YMCA Board three separate times, was an avid handball player, and always remained dedicated to the Y community.

Phil Guries first became acquainted with Pat when Phil became CEO in 1989, and together they worked to strengthen the YMCA’s mission of being a place for all. Coming from YMCAs in Denver and Fort Worth, Phil recalls one thing that has always made the Salina Family YMCA stand out — its sense of community.

“The Salina Y has always had something special,” Phil shared. “From working with local businesses to the friendly, familiar faces you see every day, the community here has always been the heart of this YMCA.”

We’re grateful to Pat and Phil for visiting and sharing their stories. Their dedication and love for the Y remind us of what makes our community so strong — a shared commitment to connection, service, and belonging.

The Thanksgiving holiday brings family, food and festivities — but it can also bring hidden hazards for pets. As kitchens fill with tempting aromas and guests come and go, Susan Nelson, clinical professor and veterinarian at Kansas State University's&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.ksvhc.org/services/pet-health-center/">Hill's Pet Health and Nutrition Center</a>, is reminding pet owners to keep safety in mind during celebrations.

"Many Thanksgiving foods and decorations can pose serious risks to pets if ingested or mishandled," Nelson said.

Keep bones out of reach and do not intentionally feed bones to your pets. Bones can cause tooth damage, become a choking hazard, or lead to gastrointestinal obstructions or perforations, Nelson said. Ingesting corncobs can also result in fatal gastrointestinal complications.

When preparing food, do not feed any raw meat scraps to your pet, as these can potentially make your pet — as well as people living or interacting with them — sick.

"There are other things you can feed your pet instead of fatty foods," Nelson said. "Gravy, dark meat, ham, butter and meat drippings can lead to gastrointestinal upset and, in some cases, fatal pancreatitis. As an alternative, offer vegetables not cooked in butter, chopped apples, plain pumpkin or sweet potatoes."

Raw dough can cause bloating and alcohol poisoning. Garlic, onion, leeks and chives — often used in dressings and gravies — can destroy red blood cells in pets if ingested.

"There are a number of common foods and beverages that could be toxic to your pet if ingested," Nelson said. "Keep chocolate, grapes, raisins, currants, macadamia nuts, artificial sweeteners like xylitol, and alcoholic and caffeinated beverages out of reach."

If possible, Nelson suggests using baby gates or other barriers to block your pet's access to the kitchen or food preparation areas to prevent them from getting into unsupervised food. Make sure garbage is placed in closed, pet-proof containers and kept out of reach.

Be sure to keep baking twine and foil out of reach and in the garbage as well, as they can also cause GI obstruction, Nelson said, and the lingering scent of food on them makes them a temptation for your pet.

"When decorating your home, be mindful of things that could be harmful to pets," Nelson said. "Consider using battery-operated candles, as burning candles pose a risk of burns to your pet and, if tipped over, could lead to a house fire."

If decorating with floral arrangements, be aware of what flowers are included. Lilies can be deadly to cats and harmful to dogs, depending on the species, Nelson said. Any part of the lily — including pollen — is toxic to cats, she said.

"It's also important to know if guests make your pet nervous," Nelson said. "If they do, put the pet in a closed room away from guests with something to distract them, such as a toy or food puzzle. Be sure to watch the doors as guests arrive and leave so your pet doesn't escape and become lost."

Some pets may need anxiety medication while guests are visiting, so Nelson suggests speaking with your veterinarian for the best recommendations. It's also a good idea to have your pet microchipped and include ID tags on their collar in case they wander off. Make sure your contact information is up to date.

If you suspect your pet has ingested something dangerous, contact your veterinarian immediately or call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435 or the Pet Poison Helpline at 855-764-7661 for guidance.

A social media interaction between a man and woman, results in the man threatening to post "inappropriate photos" from the woman, if she did not send him money.

According to the Salina Police Department (SPD), a 30-year old woman reported she had been in communication with a man on TikTok for about 2 weeks.&nbsp;

Throughout the span of their interactions, SPD stated the woman sent "inappropriate photos" to the man. After some time, she told the man if he can delete them, but said he would not only if she sent him money.

He also threatened he would post the photos if she did not send him money.

The woman then sent him a $250 in Apple gift cards.&nbsp;

After she sent the gift cards, she contacted SPD about the incident.

SPD Captain James Feldman said on behalf of the police department, they want to remind everyone to be careful of the things you send to people, especially if you don't know them personally.

"You don't own what you sent anymore and you have no control over what the individual will do with it," said Feldman.
