A Bennington couple sustained minor injuries when their SUV was rear-ended in a hit-and-run collision north of Salina late Wednesday morning.

A 2016 Jeep Patriot driven by a 69-year-old Bennington woman was northbound on Kansas Highway 143 near Watkins Road when it was rear-ended by a dark color dually pickup pulling a car trailer with a car on it, Saline County Undersheriff Brent Melander said this morning.

The collision occurred at approximately 11:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The impact forced the SUV to spin into the ditch and across Watkins Road before coming to rest, Melander said. The SUV was towed from the scene.

The driver of the SUV and her passenger, a 69-year-old Bennington man, as well as witness all told deputies that the pickup was driving too fast and was not able to drive around the Jeep because of oncoming traffic.

After the collision, the pickup continued northbound on K-143.

A clever spin on a local fundraiser helped&nbsp;<a href="http://salina.ksu.edu/" target="_blank">Kansas State University Salina Aerospace and Technology Campus</a>&nbsp;raise money for a local organization. This summer, K-State Salina has embarked on assisting the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unitedwaysalina.org/" target="_blank">Salina Area United Way</a>&nbsp;in its "Building Bridges" campaign, an effort to engage and strengthen the Salina community through health, education and financial stability. With that goal in mind, K-State Salina created a creative fundraising campaign called "You've Been Bot." The campaign was a play on one of K-State Salina's degree options, robotics and automation engineering technology, or "being BOT." When a community member was "BOT," several of K-State Salina's paper robots secretly appeared on their work desk to encourage the person who was "BOT" to donate to the Salina Area United Way. That person would then pick another community leader to be "BOT." Sixteen community leaders, including some K-State Salina employees, took part in the "You've Been BOT" campaign and raised funds for the Salina Area United Way, money that was then put back into Salina area community programs. Contributors from outside K-State Salina who made donations as part of the "You've Been BOT" campaign included several leaders of Salina-area business and organizations: Blue Beacon, City of Salina, First Bank Kansas, Great Plains Manufacturing, Salina Area Chamber of Commerce, Salina Airport Authority, Salina Downtown Inc., Saline County, and Salina USD 305.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“When I first started quilting, I thought ‘That’s what my grandma does,’” Carol Keeler said. “I have found that they have contemporary fabric and contemporary patterns, and that is what interests most quilters.”

Keeler, a member of the Silver Needles Quilting Guild, invites community members to view demonstrations and participate in a design build during the 2022 Tri-Rivers Fair. Silver Needles Quilting Guild members will be on-site from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Aug. 4-5 in Kenwood Hall, during the Tri-Rivers Fair.

“Members of the Silver Needles Quilting Guild will bring things and work as they go, and answer questions,” Keeler said. “It think it will be fun to sit and watch what they do.”

According to Keeler, a participatory project will extend throughout the two days of demonstrations during the Tri-Rivers Fair.

“What we are going to do is have a design wall,” Keeler said. “A piece of flannel will be placed on the board, so participants can put pieces on the board and arrange them.”

The design will follow the pattern parameters of the Drunkard’s Path pattern.

“If you try to make one, you’ll know why they call it Drunkard’s Path,” Keeler said. “If you put all four pieces together, you have a square and a circle in the center.”

Demonstrations are scheduled with hand work demonstrations from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 4; hand quilting demonstrations from 3-7 p.m. Aug. 4 and how to use different types of rulers from 3-7 p.m. Aug. 4.

On Aug. 5, the demonstrations swap times of the day, with hand quilting in the morning from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and hand work in the afternoon from 3-7 p.m.

“Hand quilting is quilting the entire quilt by hand, using small stitches,” Keeler said. “If a quilter is taking their quilt to a professional and having it quilted by a machine, this will be a demonstration of doing it by hand.”

According to Keeler, hand work includes quilting skills like binding and appliqué.

The Silver Needles Quilting Guild is also wanting to engage fairgoers by hiding quilted hearts around the fairgrounds for people to find.

“There’s a really cool thing that we put on each quilted heart, I Found a Quilted Heart #ifaqh,” Keeler said. “It’s all over the world that they are doing this hashtag. Hopefully, people will enjoy going to that hashtag and learning a little something about it.”

Keeler has made several of the quilted hearts herself, which she also hopes to give away to kids who attend the Silver Needles Quilting Guild presentations, as well as, other interested attendees.

“I’d like to pass them out to people who are interested in the quilt guild, and those that spend some time with us during the fair,” Keeler said. “We’d like two give them a gift for their time and interest.”

The Silver Needles Quilting Guild has existed for 42 years, according to Keeler.

“It was just a group of women that really enjoyed quilting, being together and sharing their talents,” Keeler said.

The group meets twice a month. On the third Monday of each month, the Silver Needles Quilting Guild meets for a meeting, which includes reports, a show and share time where members can share sewing projects they have been working on and a program. The group meets for refreshments at 6:30 p.m., starting their meeting at 7 p.m. at Redeemer Lutheran Church.

“The programs can be quite interesting,” Keeler said. “The last one was things you can get at a hardware store to help with quilting.”

Three days later, on the third Thursday of each month, the group meets again for a sew day at Redeemer Lutheran Church. The church is open from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and members can come and go as they please, and stay as long as they want.

“There’s so much talent and so much help for each of us to learn more things,” Keeler said.

The group sometimes using their sewing time to work on community service projects. According to Keeler, in 2022 the Silver Needles Quilting Guild has donated quilts to the Martin Luther King, Jr. daycare, Reflections Retirement Resort, The Pregnancy Center, Tammy Walker Cancer Center and the pediatric unit and nursery at Salina Regional Health Center.

“For cancer patients at Tammy Walker we make ‘Quilts with a Hug,’” Keeler said. “It’s a shawl they can wrap around them while they are having their chemo.”

In addition, the Silver Needles Quilting Guild has donated 122 quilted hearts to Presbyterian Manor for the Hearts of Hope project, and 250 placements to Meals on Wheels.

A community outreach program allowed the Silver Needles Quilting Guild to donate funds to Saline County 4-H and the Peacemakers. The funds are made during a fundraiser, this year scheduled for Oct. 14 and 15 at Redeemer Lutheran, which includes a quilt show, auction and a luncheon.

Literature about the Silver Needles Quilting Guild, as well as a coloring sheet for children visiting the presentations during the Tri-Rivers Fair, will be available for demonstration attendees.

“Since March, we have had a lot of younger quilters joining,” Keeler said. “It’s very encouraging. “We noticed there were some young people last year with entries at the Tri-Rivers Fair, and we want to encourage them and keep them quilting.”

In 1914, World War I began as Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia.

In 1932, federal troops forcibly dispersed the so-called "Bonus Army" of World War I veterans who had gathered in Washington to demand payments they weren't scheduled to receive until 1945.

In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt announced the end of coffee rationing, which had limited people to one pound of coffee every five weeks since it began in Nov. 1942.

In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson announced he was increasing the number of American troops in South Vietnam from 75,000 to 125,000 "almost immediately."

In 1976, an earthquake devastated northern China, killing at least 242,000 people, according to an official estimate.

In 1984, the Los Angeles Summer Olympics opened.

In 2015, it was announced that Jonathan Pollard, the former U.S. Naval intelligence analyst who had spent nearly three decades in prison for spying for Israel, had been granted parole.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton accepted the Democratic presidential nomination at the party's convention in Philadelphia, where she cast herself as a unifier for divided times as well as an experienced leader steeled for a volatile world while aggressively challenging Republican Donald Trump's ability to lead.

In 2019, a gunman opened fire at a popular garlic festival in Gilroy, California, killing three people, including a six-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl, and wounding 17 others before taking his own life.

In 2020, President Donald Trump issued a stout defense of the disproved use of a malaria drug, hydroxychloroquine, to treat COVID-19, hours after social media companies took down videos shared by Trump, his son and others promoting its use; Trump also retweeted several attacks on the credibility of Dr. Anthony Fauci, a leading member of the White House coronavirus task force.

Ten years ago: Syria's government launched an offensive to retake rebel-held neighborhoods in the nation's commercial hub of Aleppo. At the London Olympics, Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen set the first world record, winning the women's 400-meter individual medley in 4:28.43.

ABILENE – Six beautiful equines will be part of the show at the Wild Bill Hickok Rodeo in Abilene.

Broken Spoke Clydesdales, Winfield will bring their six-horse Clydesdale hitch pulling a freight wagon to the rodeo Aug. 3-6.

Mark DeCoudres, owner of the horses and the hitch, got involved with Clydesdales eleven years ago. It had always been a dream of his to drive a team. He had grown up around horses but didn’t know how to drive or harness them.&nbsp; He bought a team of two and left them at the seller’s house, returning each weekend to get lessons on how to harness and drive them.

It wasn’t easy to learn to drive a hitch, DeCoudres said. “I remember one time,” he recalled, “I was driving four. I didn’t have my lines (how the horses are controlled) just right, and the next thing I knew, the lead horse was turned completely around, looking at me.”

Each pair of horses has its own job when pulling a load. Jackson and Brock, the team closest to the wagon, are the wheel team.&nbsp; Brody and Forest, the team in the middle, are the swing team. Divinity and Diesel are the lead team. Usually the wheel horses weigh more than the lead horses, and the lead horses are more athletic and have to travel farther than the wheel team when making turns.

The horses eat about forty pounds of hay and fifteen pounds of grain or pelleted feed a day. In Abilene, they will be kept in display stalls under a tent at the rodeo grounds. The public is invited to see them during the days of the rodeo. That is DeCoudres’ favorite part. “I like interacting with the people. There are children who would never be able to be up and close to a horse like that, if we weren’t there. Even for the older people, it brings back memories of their childhood, when their granddad or parents used draft horses on the farm.”

Broken Spoke has qualified for the Six-Horse Hitch Classic Series Finals twice, in 2016-2017, and finished as one of the top four Clydesdale hitches in North America.

They have entertained at rodeos and events across the nation, including the National Western Stock Show &amp; Rodeo in Denver, the Reno (Nev.) Rodeo, the Prescott (Ariz.) rodeo, and others.

DeCoudres loves sharing his animals with others.

“We want to share this majestic creature with young and old alike,” he said. “They’re a passion of ours, and we want to spread that passion to everyone we meet.”

The Clydesdales will be in the parade on Aug. 4 at 4 p.m., and in the rodeo all four nights: Aug. 3-6.&nbsp; They will also be on display on the east side of the rodeo grounds during the day, for the public to visit.

The Abilene rodeo is Aug. 3-6, beginning at 7:30 pm each night. Tickets are on sale at West’s Country Mart, at the fair office, and online at <a href="http://CKFF.net">CKFF.net</a>. Tickets are $10 in advance and $13 at the gate. Children’s tickets (ages 4-10) are $5, whether purchased in advance or at the gate.

SMOLAN - Batteries are suspected to be the cause of a fire that destroyed a pickup and damaged a house in Smolan Monday evening.

Saline County Undersheriff Brent Melander said this morning that deputies and firefighters from Rural Fire Districts 6 and 2 were sent to the 100 block of S. Third Street in Smolan at 6:30 p.m. Monday for the report of a vehicle fire.

A 47-year-old man had parked his 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 pickup in the driveway. A short time later, a neighbor went to the residence to alert the man to a fire in the pickup, Melander said. The man and neighbors kept the fire at bay until firefighters could arrive.

Meander said that batteries in the back seat of the pickup are suspected as the cause of the blaze.

The pickup, valued at $20,000, was destroyed. Additionally, an estimated $1,000 in damage was done to the siding on a nearby house. Melander said.

A brazen thief was caught on surveillance video stealing a catalytic converter from a vehicle in a south Salina parking lot Tuesday afternoon.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that a 35-year-old Salina man reported that his daughter had driven his 2005 Ford Excursion to work at Lowe's, 3035 S. Ninth Street, and parked it in the west part of the parking lot at approximately 2 p.m. Tuesday. When she took a break at approximately 6 p.m., she noticed the SUV was making funny noises and called her father, who arrived a short time later and discovered that the catalytic converter was missing from the vehicle.

Surveillance video from Lowe's shows an older model Chevrolet Trailblazer, possibly gold in color, parked next to the SUV at 4:20 p.m., Forrester said. The Trailblazer left and then returned a short time later. A person in a white t-shirt was seen around the two vehicles. The Trailblazer left after approximately eight minutes.

Total loss was estimated at $2,000, Forrester said.

In a legal opinion on May 26, 2021, Kansas Attorney General noted that "Catalytic converters are covered by the Scrap Metal Theft Reduction Act, so transactions involving their purchase by scrap metal dealers are regulated and must be reported to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation database."

The world belongs those who show up. That simple idea has become one of the cardinal rules in my life. What I love about this rule is it doesn’t hinge on predisposed talent or having the right connections. The only way to unlock the potential of this rule is to just keep showing up.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Showing up has been on my mind as I contemplate the upcoming primary.

Over the years, I have heard many people dismiss primaries as unimportant. They may say their vote doesn’t matter or claim they will vote when the “real” election happens. That type of thinking is flawed because often the primary election is the real race. If you live in an area that is largely affiliated with one party, the primary likely determines the front runner or the only name that will be on the ballot in the general election. In our state, there are dozens of state and local races where only one party has candidates who have filed for election. This is your chance to show up for your community. If you hesitate to vote because you aren’t sure who to vote for, I invite you to visit&nbsp;<a href="http://KFB.org">KFB.org</a> to see a list of the candidates endorsed by Kansas Farm Bureau’s Voters Organized To Elect Farm Bureau Friends. These candidates have been recommended by our local members through a grassroots process.&nbsp;KFB’s political action committee takes local feedback and, in cases of incumbents’, voting histories into consideration to make endorsements for candidates who understand, value and support agriculture in our state. If that is not enough of a reason to show up for the primary, here's an important question: Do you have an opinion on abortion? This is such a heated and prominent issue on the national stage that I am guessing most people do. This primary election is your opportunity to share that opinion without having to put a sign in your yard and jeopardize any relationships. The primary will feature a proposed constitutional amendment that would affirm there is no Kansas constitutional right to abortion, and the right to pass laws to regulate abortion. If the amendment fails, the constitution would not change leaving in place the recently recognized right to abortion. I am not advocating for or against the amendment. However, I am advocating for you to show up and cast a ballot for your beliefs and values. If I haven’t convinced you in any of my previous points, let me try one more. You probably already knew an election was coming from the seemingly endless advertisements on social media, TV, streaming services and in your mailbox. These advertisements are overly sensational, meant to vilify one candidate while making a hero out of another, and often make claims that are irrelevant to the position in question. The reason we are bombarded with these advertisement is because organizations, many outside the state, are spending millions of dollars to sway your vote. All that money is spent in hope that an unengaged voter will show up to the poll and pick someone based on the faint memory they have of an advertisement. If you don’t want our elections to be determined by the highest bidder, show up as an informed voter for the primary. Politics can be overwhelming and it is easy to feel like your vote doesn’t matter, but it does. The world and elections belong to those who show up and I hope you will on Aug. 2.
