Submitted This Veterans Day, Saline County is calling on all residents and businesses to shine a green light in support of our veterans transitioning to civilian life.&nbsp; From November 4 to 11, County buildings will be glowing green as part of Operation Green Light, and we need you to join the movement.

“We’re proud to be part of this nationwide effort to show our veterans how much we appreciate them,” said Joe Hay, Jr., Commission Chair. “By lighting our homes and businesses green, we’re letting our veterans know they’re seen, valued, and supported. It’s such a simple gesture, but it means a lot.”

Switch to green by changing one light bulb in your home or business to green during Veterans Day week. Whether it’s a porch light or an indoor lamp, let’s light up the county with appreciation.

Shop locally for green bulbs at Waters True Value or Ace Hardware in Salina.

Share the love by snapping a picture of your glowing green light and posting it on social media with the hashtag #OperationGreenLight. Spread the word, and let’s create a wave of gratitude across our community.

Consider making it a year-round gesture. While we focus on Veterans Day, think about keeping your green light on to remind our veterans that their service is never forgotten.

Operation Green Light is part of a national initiative, led by the National Association of Counties (NACo), designed to raise awareness of the challenges veterans face when returning to civilian life. It’s also a way to connect them to local resources that can help.

“This is more than just lighting up buildings,” explained Hay. “It’s about starting conversations, making sure veterans know we’ve got their backs, and spreading the word about the services available to them and their families.”

Let’s show our veterans the support they deserve. For more details on Operation Green Light and how to participate, visit <a href="http://www.naco.org/operationgreenlight">www.naco.org/operationgreenlight</a>.

Saline County Jail Booking, Nov. 4

By SALINA POST Today, November 5 is Election Day. Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab has shared important reminders for voters as they head to the polls.

Kansas polling places are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time, though some counties may open earlier. Voters who are in line when polls close will still be permitted to cast their ballots. Schwab advises voters to be prepared for longer wait times during peak hours in the early morning, lunchtime, and after 5 p.m.

Voters are required to present a government-issued photo ID. For more details on ID requirements, Schwab directs voters to consult the Secretary of State’s website.

LISTEN:&nbsp;<a href="https://salinapost.com/posts/86bc4f88-991d-4e2c-8964-b6b3c917cc2f">🎙King in the Community — Kansas Secretary of State, Scott Schwab</a>

To find their assigned polling locations, voters can use the VoterView tool available on <a href="http://VoteKansas.gov">VoteKansas.gov</a>. This tool can help voters verify their location and make a plan to ensure a smooth voting experience.

Electioneering is prohibited within 250 feet of polling locations. Electioneering includes actions intended to persuade or influence others’ votes for or against a particular candidate. Voters are reminded not to wear, display, or distribute items such as buttons, stickers, signs, articles of clothing, or campaign literature within this 250-foot zone.

Special accommodations and assistance are available at polling locations. Trained poll workers are ready to help voters with disabilities, including providing ballot marking devices and offering curbside voting for those with mobility or vision impairments.

Voters who received a mail-in ballot have the option to return it on Election Day to any polling location within their county, a county drop box, or directly to the county election office.

In the event that voters observe suspicious activity or have concerns, Schwab encourages them to first report the issue to the supervising judge at their polling place. Concerns can also be escalated to the Secretary of State’s office by filling out a report available on the <a href="http://VoteKansas.gov">state’s website</a>.

Election night results will be available shortly after polls close at 7 p.m., and updates will be posted on <a href="http://sos.ks.gov">sos.ks.gov</a>.

Schwab emphasizes the importance of preparation for a seamless voting experience, urging those planning to vote on Election Day to review their sample ballots and confirm their polling locations through VoterView. “Having a voting plan is beneficial and can help ensure a smooth voting experience on Election Day,” Schwab said.

Secretary of State Schwab provides Election Day tips for Kansas voters

On Saturday The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) issued a boil water advisory for the City of Bennington public water supply system in Ottawa County.

Customers should observe the following precautions until further notice: Boil water for one minute before drinking or preparing food or use bottled water. Dispose of ice cubes and avoid using ice from a household automatic icemaker. If tap water appears dirty, flush the water lines by letting the water run until it clears. Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersing them for at least one minute in clean tap water containing one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water. Water used for bathing does not generally need to be boiled; however, supervise children to prevent ingestion, and persons with cuts or severe rashes may wish to consult their physicians.

The advisory took effect on November 2 and will remain in effect until the conditions that put the system at risk of bacterial contamination are resolved. KDHE issued the advisory due to a loss of pressure caused by a power fluctuation. Failure to maintain adequate pressure can lead to a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.

Only KDHE can issue the rescind order following testing at a certified laboratory, regardless of whether the public water supplier or KDHE initially announced the advisory.

For questions, contact the water system at 785-488-3767 or KDHE at 785-296-5514. For more information, visit KDHE’s PWS Consumer Information webpage: https://www.kdhe.ks.gov/468/Disruption-in-Water-Service

Restaurants and other food establishments with questions about the advisory’s impact on their business can contact the Kansas Department of Agriculture’s food safety &amp; lodging program at kda.fsl@ks.gov or call 785-564-6767.

Boil Water Advisory still in effect for the City of Bennington, Ottawa County

By JASON GRAVES K-State Research and Extension Central District&nbsp;Horticulturist

In life, when we choose to avoid hard things, we often miss out on growth and transformation.&nbsp; Honoring what is hard, rather than avoiding it, fosters our growth—and nature has a way of teaching us this lesson.&nbsp; The process of decomposition, while not glamorous, is actually quite miraculous.&nbsp; It is transformation through decay.&nbsp; What looks like waste is turned into raw materials for explosive new growth.

This kind of transformation is the beauty of the process gardeners call composting.&nbsp; Composting teaches us a lot about ourselves and allows us to be tangibly and personally involved in guiding this cycle of nature to happen.

Now is a great time to begin.&nbsp; Leaves are falling here in central Kansas, and this free ‘waste’ material is a precious organic matter resource that can be transformed into the very best soil amendment. Instead of bagging leaves for disposal, gather them for composting.

Composting leaves mimics nature’s decomposition process in forests and returns essential nutrients and organic matter to the soil. Adding composted leaves to garden soil next spring will improve its water-holding capacity, structure, microbial life, fertility, and more.

The magic of leaf composting lies in the unseen work of microbes. Bacteria and fungi feast on the "browns" (carbon-rich materials like leaves) and "greens" (nitrogen-rich materials like kitchen scraps or grass clippings) in the compost pile. These microbes break down tough plant structures, like cellulose, into nutrients and simpler compounds that plants can use.

The microbes generate heat as they feed, often raising the pile’s temperature to 90–140°F. This warmth speeds up decomposition and eliminates many weed seeds and pathogens that could hinder future plant growth.

Through their activity, microbes release essential nutrients—nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium—in forms plants can easily absorb, enriching the soil for future plants. When decomposition is complete, these hardworking microbes leave behind humus, a rich, stable substance that improves soil structure and moisture retention. Often called "black gold" by gardeners, humus is the ideal soil amendment for gardens, landscape beds, and containers.

One decisive takeaway from composting is that leaves cannot transform independently; they require help from microbes.&nbsp; This is a good lesson for our growth and transformation in life- we can’t do it without help, either. &nbsp;A good question is, who are the 1-3 people I can trust to help me grow?&nbsp; It’s time to find them.

If you’re interested in starting leaf composting this fall, I highly recommend a simple guide on our website called&nbsp;Composting Made Easy.&nbsp;

This easy-to-read guide will help you get started.&nbsp; Visit&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="http://www.centralkansas.ksu.edu/">www.centralkansas.ksu.edu</a>&nbsp;and click the lawn and garden tab to find it.

About the Salina Crossroads Marathon

The Salina Crossroads Marathon began as a vision by local runners Chris Lehecka and Daniel Craig to bring a high-quality marathon to Salina. With a course designed by the City of Salina to minimize traffic disruptions, the marathon has grown quickly with support from community members in both nonprofit and private sectors. The marathon’s goal is to host a top-tier event that draws runners from across the country, while donating all race entry fees to local organizations and creating family-friendly events that the entire community can enjoy as part of a USATF Certified and Boston Qualifying weekend.

TOPEKA&nbsp;– The Kansas Corporation Commission has received a report that an individual claiming to be working with the KCC is calling utility customers and offering a 30% discount on their electric bills. 

Based on what has been reported, the caller asks about Medicare or Medicaid eligibility, then asks for a credit card so the refund can be applied.

This individual is not affiliated with the KCC and the agency urges consumers to use caution if they receive a call. 

Above all, if you receive a call like this, do not provide credit card information. 

More information will be released if it becomes available.

Boil Water Advisory Issued for Sundowner Inc., Saline County

TOPEKA –&nbsp;The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued a boil water advisory for the Sundowner Inc. public water supply system located in Saline County.

Customers should observe the following precautions until further notice:

Boil water for one minute prior to drinking or food preparation or use bottled water. 

Dispose of ice cubes and do not use ice from a household automatic icemaker.

If your tap water appears dirty, flush the water lines by letting the water run until it clears.

 Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water.

Water used for bathing does not generally need to be boiled. Supervision of children is necessary while bathing so that water is not ingested. Persons with cuts or severe rashes may wish to consult their physicians.

The advisory took effect on October 31 and will remain in effect until the conditions that placed the system at risk of bacterial contamination are resolved. KDHE officials issued the advisory because of a waterline break resulting in a loss of pressure in the distribution system.&nbsp; Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.&nbsp;

Regardless of whether the public water supplier or Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) announced a boil water advisory, only KDHE can issue the rescind order following testing at a certified laboratory.

For consumer questions, please contact the water system at 785-479-6864, or KDHE at 785-296-5514. For consumer information please visit KDHE’s PWS Consumer Information webpage:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.kdhe.ks.gov%2F468%2FDisruption-in-Water-Service%3Futm_medium=email%26utm_source=govdelivery/1/01000192e4a8b34e-6d07bbee-21cb-4e8f-b49f-60d9c03b8c14-000000/vQ5Qq4R0B9zcbIsONmM_IqbtO7nGrpHHy6N0Fwoi4Ec=377">https://www.kdhe.ks.gov/468/Disruption-in-Water-Service</a>

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has rescinded a boil water advisory for the Sundowner West Mobile Home Park public water supply system in Saline County. The advisory was issued because of a waterline break, which resulted in a loss of pressure in the distribution system. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.  

Public water suppliers in Kansas take all necessary measures to notify customers quickly after a system failure or shutdown. Whether the supplier or KDHE announces a boil water advisory, KDHE will issue the rescind order following testing at a certified laboratory. 

Laboratory testing samples collected from the Sundowner West Mobile Home Park indicate no evidence of bacteriological contamination, and KDHE officials have resolved all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination.

The advisory took effect on October 29 and will remain in place until conditions that placed the system at risk of bacterial contamination are resolved. KDHE officials issued the advisory due to a waterline break resulting in low pressure in the distribution system. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.

Regardless of which entity announced the advisory, only KDHE can rescind it following testing at a certified laboratory.

For consumer questions, contact the water system at 785-479-6864 or KDHE at 785-296-5514. Additional information is available on KDHE’s PWS Consumer Information webpage at kdhe.ks.gov/waterdisruption.

Located in the heart of downtown Salina at 150 South Santa Fe Avenue, the Salina Art Center Cinema invites film lovers to immerse themselves in two captivating cinematic experiences this November with Francis Ford Coppola’s visionary epic Megalopolis and Megan Park’s thoughtful coming-of-age comedy My Old Ass.

In his most ambitious work since "Apocalypse Now," legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola crafts a monumental tale set in a futuristic, dystopian world with Megalopolis. Exploring themes of power, decay, and the clash between idealism and corruption, Coppola takes audiences on a journey through the rise and fall of a utopian vision against the morally bankrupt backdrop of New Rome.

Adam Driver stars as Cesar Catilina, an inventor dreaming of a peaceful, isolated society. However, he faces fierce opposition from New Rome’s Mayor Franklyn Cicero, portrayed by Giancarlo Esposito, a character who embodies the spiritual decay Catilina resists. The film also features a star-studded cast, including Nathalie Emmanuel, Jon Voight, Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Fishburne, Shia LeBeouf, and Aubrey Plaza. Known for his visually poetic style, Coppola’s unique cinematic flair lights up this sci-fi setting, offering a blend of grandeur and eccentricity that will captivate viewers.

Megalopolis is rated R for sexual content, nudity, profanity, drug use, and violence.

Following "Megalopolis," the cinema will present Megan Park’s heartfelt comedy My Old Ass. The story follows 18-year-old Elliott (Maisy Stella), a Gen Z teen on the brink of adulthood. A unique twist brings Elliott face-to-face with her middle-aged self, played by Aubrey Plaza, leading to humorous and heartwarming reflections on life, identity, and self-acceptance. The interaction between young and older Elliott becomes a journey of growth and understanding, bridging generational gaps and underscoring the value of different perspectives.

A clever, multi-generational comedy, My Old Ass has an appeal that resonates across ages, exploring the humor and poignancy of coming of age, no matter one’s stage in life. 

My Old Ass is rated R for language, drug use, nudity, and sexual material.

Tickets are available at the Salina Art Center Cinema, with sponsorship from Wedel Financial, Sydney, and Morrie Soderberg.

Crimestoppers On Saturday, October 26, 2024, at about 3:15 AM, a subject living in the 1000 block of N. 9th, Salina, KS, reported hearing a noise in his living room. When he went to investigate the noise, he observed a male approximately 6’1” with a slender build in the residence. The race of the subject could not be determined.

When the male was confronted, he fled from the residence through the kitchen window, taking a PlayStation 5 game system and a set of keys. The subject pursued the male, but lost him after the male ran to the Northeast. A check of the area located the PlayStation 5, which had been damaged, and the set of keys in a yard in the 1000 block of N. 8th. Total loss was valued at $770.

Later on October 26, 2024, a subject living in the 700 block of N. 8th advised their security camera notified of activity in their driveway, which occurred at 3:45 AM on that same date. The surveillance video showed two males, possibly juveniles, checking cars. The juveniles were wearing masks. No entry into vehicles occurred at that time. It cannot be determined if both incidents are connected.

If you have any information concerning this incident or identification of the individual involved, call Crimestoppers at 825-TIPS. You can also make an online tip at:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.p3tips.com/tipform.aspx?ID=950#">https://www.p3tips.com/tipform.aspx?ID=950#</a>. You may receive a cash reward of up to $1,000.

Saline County Jail Bookings, Nov. 1

Salina Central High School’s Theatre Troupe 639 will bring William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew to the stage this November. Performances are scheduled for Friday, November 15, and Saturday, November 16, at 7:00 p.m., with a matinee on Sunday, November 17, at 2:30 p.m. 

Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students and can be purchased one hour before each performance at the Central High School Auditorium box office or online <a href="https://our.show/chstroupe639/shrew">here</a>.

In The Taming of the Shrew, the charming Lucentio is in love with Bianca but cannot pursue her until her strong-willed older sister, Katherina, is married. Enter the unconventional Petruchio, who takes on the challenge of wedding Katherina, employing unusual tactics to make her a willing partner. Troupe 639's interpretation will feature this classic in the style of Commedia Dell’Arte, with expressive physicality and comedic flair.

“This show is a lot of fun to watch and be involved in performing,” said Lillian Crow, who plays Biondello. “It’s a very physical show. Shakespeare can be hard to understand unless you incorporate tone and physicality. The Taming of the Shrew is a staple slapstick comedy, and I love performing and having fun on stage with my fellow castmates in this production.”

Join Salina Central Mustangs Theatre Troupe 639 for a night of classic Shakespearean comedy, vibrant characters, and engaging storytelling.
