On Oct. 25, 1983, a U.S.-led force invaded Grenada at the order of President Ronald Reagan, who said the action was needed to protect U.S. citizens there. 

In 1760, Britain's King George III succeeded his late grandfather, George II. 

In 1854, the "Charge of the Light Brigade" took place during the Crimean War as an English brigade of more than 600 men charged the Russian army, suffering heavy losses. 

In 1859, radical abolitionist John Brown went on trial in Charles Town, Va., for his failed raid at Harpers Ferry. (Brown was convicted and hanged.)

In 1881, artist Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain. 

In 1910, "America the Beautiful," with words by Katharine Lee Bates and music by Samuel A. Ward, was first published.

In 1962, during a meeting of the U.N. Security Council, U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson II demanded that Soviet Ambassador Valerian Zorin confirm or deny the existence of Soviet-built missile bases in Cuba; Stevenson then presented photographic evidence of the bases to the Council.

In 1971, the U.N. General Assembly voted to admit mainland China and expel Taiwan. 

In 1982, the situation comedy "Newhart," starring Bob Newhart as a Vermont innkeeper, premiered on CBS.

In 1994, Susan Smith of Union, South Carolina, claimed that a Black carjacker had driven off with her two young sons (Smith later confessed to drowning the children in John D. Long Lake, and was convicted of murder). Three defendants were convicted in South Africa of murdering American exchange student Amy Biehl. (In 1998, all three were granted amnesty by South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission.) 

In 1999, golfer Payne Stewart and five others were killed when their Learjet flew uncontrolled for four hours before crashing in South Dakota; Stewart was 42. 

In 2002, U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone, D-Minn., was killed in a plane crash in northern Minnesota along with his wife, daughter and five others, a week and a-half before the election.

Ten years ago: Deposed Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, his son Muatassim and former Defense Minister Abu Bakr Younis were buried at dawn in a secret location, five days after Gadhafi was slain by revolutionary fighters.

Five years ago: A federal judge in San Francisco approved a nearly $15 billion settlement, giving nearly a half-million Volkswagen owners and leaseholders the choice between selling their diesel engine cars back or having them repaired so they didn't cheat on emissions tests and spew excess pollution. The Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago Cubs 6-0 in the World Series opener.

One year ago: White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told CNN that "we're not going to control the pandemic," because it's a "contagious virus just like the flu." Hundreds of thousands of Californians lost power as utilities sought to reduce the chance of their equipment sparking wildfires and the fire-weary state braced for a new bout of dry, windy weather.

Today is Sunday, Oct. 24, the 297th day of 2021. There are 68 days left in the year. 

On Oct. 24, 1940, the 40-hour work week went into effect under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. 

In 1648, the Peace of Westphalia ended the Thirty Years War and effectively destroyed the Holy Roman Empire.

In 1861, the first transcontinental telegraph message was sent by Chief Justice Stephen J. Field of California from San Francisco to President Abraham Lincoln in Washington, D.C., over a line built by the Western Union Telegraph Co. 

In 1931, the George Washington Bridge, connecting New York and New Jersey, was officially dedicated (it opened to traffic the next day). 

In 1945, the United Nations officially came into existence as its charter took effect. 

In 1962, a naval quarantine of Cuba ordered by President John F. Kennedy went into effect during the missile crisis. 

In 1972, Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson, who'd broken Major League Baseball's modern-era color barrier in 1947, died in Stamford, Connecticut, at age 53. 

In 1989, former television evangelist Jim Bakker was sentenced by a judge in Charlotte, N.C., to 45 years in prison for fraud and conspiracy. (The sentence was later reduced to eight years; it was further reduced to four for good behavior.) 

In 1992, the Toronto Blue Jays became the first non-U.S. team to win the World Series as they defeated the Atlanta Braves, 4-3, in Game 6. 

In 1996, TyRon Lewis, 18, a Black motorist, was shot to death by police during a traffic stop in St. Petersburg, Florida; the incident sparked rioting. (Officer James Knight, who said that Lewis had lurched his car at him several times, knocking him onto the hood, was cleared by a grand jury and the Justice Department.) 

In 2002, authorities apprehended John Allen Muhammad and teenager Lee Boyd Malvo near Myersville, Maryland, in the Washington-area sniper attacks. (Malvo was later sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, but Maryland's highest court has agreed to reconsider that sentence in 2022; Muhammad was sentenced to death and executed in 2009.) 

In 2005, civil rights icon Rosa Parks died in Detroit at age 92. 

In 2007, rapidly rising Internet star Facebook Inc. sold a 1.6 percent stake to Microsoft Corp. for $240 million, spurning a competing offer from online search leader Google Inc. 

Ten years ago: President Barack Obama offered mortgage relief to hundreds of thousands of Americans during a visit to Las Vegas. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, visiting Yokota Air Base in Japan, lashed out at North Korea for "reckless and provocative" acts and criticized China for a secretive expansion of its military power.

Five years ago: Campaigning in battleground Florida, a defiant Donald Trump blamed his campaign struggles on "phony polls" from the "disgusting" media. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Elizabeth Warren pounded Trump, accusing him of disrespecting women and denigrating U.S. troops assisting Iraqis in their push to retake the city of Mosul. Pop idol Bobby Vee, 73, died in Rogers, Minnesota.

One year ago: A North Carolina health official ordered a large church to close its doors temporarily because of concerns it was helping spread the coronavirus by disregarding social distancing measures. Despite surging cases around the country and more infections at the White House, President Donald Trump assured supporters packed shoulder to shoulder at a trio of rallies that "we're rounding the turn" on the coronavirus; he mocked challenger Joe Biden for raising alarms about the pandemic. Heavily protected crews in Washington state worked to destroy the first nest of so-called murder hornets discovered in the United States.

Today is Saturday, Oct. 23, the 296th day of 2021. There are 69 days left in the year. 

On Oct. 23, 1973, President Richard Nixon agreed to turn over White House tape recordings subpoenaed by the Watergate special prosecutor to Judge John J. Sirica. 

In 1707, the first Parliament of Great Britain, created by the Acts of Union between England and Scotland, held its first meeting. 

In 1864, forces led by Union Maj. Gen. Samuel R. Curtis repelled Confederate Maj. Gen. Sterling Price's army in the Civil War Battle of Westport in Missouri. 

In 1915, tens of thousands of women paraded up Fifth Avenue in New York City, demanding the right to vote. 

In 1944, the World War II Battle of Leyte Gulf began, resulting in a major Allied victory against Japanese forces. 

In 1956, a student-sparked revolt against Hungary's Communist rule began; as the revolution spread, Soviet forces started entering the country, and the uprising was put down within weeks. 

In 1983, 241 U.S. service members, most of them Marines, were killed in a suicide truck-bombing at Beirut International Airport in Lebanon; a near-simultaneous attack on French forces killed 58 paratroopers.

In 1987, the U.S. Senate rejected, 58-42, the Supreme Court nomination of Robert H. Bork. 

In 1989, 23 people were killed in an explosion at Phillips Petroleum Co.'s chemical complex in Pasadena, Texas.

In 2001, the nation's anthrax scare hit the White House with the discovery of a small concentration of spores at an offsite mail processing center. 

In 2009, President Barack Obama declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency, giving his health chief the power to let hospitals move emergency rooms offsite to speed treatment and protect non-infected patients. 

In 2012, during a debate with Democratic rival Joe Donnelly, Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock said that when a woman becomes pregnant during rape, "it is something that God intended to happen." (Other Republican candidates moved to distance themselves from Mourdock, who went on to lose the November election to Donnelly.)

In 2014, officials announced that an emergency room doctor who'd recently returned to New York City after treating Ebola patients in West Africa tested positive for the virus, becoming the first case in the city and the fourth in the nation. (Dr. Craig Spencer later recovered.)

Ten years ago: Libya's interim rulers declared the country liberated, formally marking the end of Moammar Gadhafi's 42-year tyranny. A 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck eastern Turkey, killing some 600 people.

Five years ago: A tour bus returning home to Los Angeles from a casino trip plowed into the back of a slow-moving semi-truck on a California highway, killing 13 people. Bill Murray received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Former student radical turned California lawmaker Tom Hayden, 76, died in Santa Monica, California.

One year ago: Drugmakers AstraZeneca and Johnson &amp; Johnson announced the resumption of U.S. testing of their COVID-19 vaccine candidates; each had stopped its testing after a study volunteer developed a serious health issue, requiring a review of safety data. France surpassed 1 million confirmed coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic, becoming the second country in Western Europe (after Spain) to reach the mark. President Donald Trump announced that Sudan would start to normalize ties with Israel, making it the third Arab state to do so as part of U.S.-brokered deals in the run-up to Election Day. Texas country singer and songwriter Jerry Jeff Walker, who wrote the pop song "Mr. Bojangles," died of cancer at age 78.

Today in History - Oct. 23

For the second time in as many seasons, the Southeast of Saline Trojan football team will enter the playoffs undefeated.

Dating back to 2019, SES has won their last 17 regular-season contests, and is primed to make another deep playoff run after finishing 2021 a perfect 8-0.

The Trojans capped off their district title run with a 42-0 win over the Scott City Beavers, dominating all three facets of the game to wrap up a perfect 5-0 district slate.

“I thought we did some things well but we were sloppy at times also,” SES head coach Mitch Gebhardt said. “Defensively we held another team to zero and we had some young kids get in and play some really good minutes for us.”

The Trojan defense continues to play like one of the best units in the state, pitching an unheard-of six shutouts throughout the season and outscoring their district by a combined score of 256-0.

Southeast wasted no time getting on the board as quarterback Luke Gebhardt punched in the first touchdown of the day on a 32-yard house call.

Gebhardt put on a show in the first quarter, rushing for over 100 yards and adding a second rushing TD to the Trojan total before the first twelve minutes were even in the books.

That momentum spilled over into the second quarter as a Gebhardt strike to Michael Murray and a pick-six by Caden Isaacson put the Trojans on top 30-0 at the half.

While the offense moved the ball at will, the SES defense put on a show of their own, sacking the Scott City quarterback eight times to pile onto a 24-sack performance this season.

The Beavers came close to the red zone on a few occasions, but even with their JV defense in, Southeast held the line, preventing a fifth consecutive opponent from putting a single point on the scoreboard.

“We’ve got some guys that like hard-hitting football and I really feel like our kids were pretty physical tonight,” Gebhardt said. “That’s a big step for some of those younger guys.”

The Trojans will open their postseason at home against the 2-5 Marysville Bulldogs, who fell by just 12 points to an undefeated Riley County team this week.

“Marysville is a good football team,” Gebhardt said. “We watched a little bit of film on them earlier this year and they do a nice job so we’re going to have to get things lined up and ready to go.”

For coverage of the Trojan football team this postseason, stay tuned to the Salina Post.

SEDGWICK COUNTY — A Kansas felon accused in the Sept. 7, mass shooting at a Wichita night club and arrested in Arizona was booked into jail in Kansas Wednesday afternoon and made his first court appearance Thursday.

<a href="https://ssc.sedgwickcounty.org/sheriffinmates/SheriffInmateDetail.aspx?nameId=20044181">Keshawn Dawson, 23 of Wichita, </a>was charged with 1st degree intentional murder, 1st degree murder in the commission of a felony, six counts of aggravated battery, and criminal discharge of a firearm, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.

Dawson is also charged in two separate cases for criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon for an incident on June 15, and&nbsp; criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, possession of marijuana, and possession of paraphernalia for use involving an arrest in January, according to the district attorney.

On Oct. 8, U.S. Marshals arrested Dawson in Phoenix Arizona., according to officer Charley Davidson. Dawson is being held on bond of five-million dollars for a shooting that killed 34-year-old Preston Spencer and injured six others with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.

At approximately 12:40 a.m. on Sept. 7, officers responded to a shooting call at the Enigma Club, 351 N. Mosely.&nbsp; Upon arrival, officers located multiple victims that were all transported to an area hospital for medical treatment.&nbsp; The investigation revealed Dawson got into a disturbance earlier inside the club and was forced to leave.&nbsp; Dawson returned a short time later and fired multiple rounds with a handgun through windows into the club from the outside, striking the victims.

In addition, Dawson had active felony Sedgwick County warrants and was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to previous felony convictions, according to Davidson.

Dawson's next court appearance is November 4, according to the district attorney's office.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Suspect in Kansas mass shooting charged, held on $5M bond

Today is Friday, Oct. 22, the 295th day of 2021. There are 70 days left in the year. 

On Oct. 22, 2014, a gunman shot and killed a soldier standing guard at a war memorial in Ottawa, then stormed the Canadian Parliament before he was shot and killed by the usually ceremonial sergeant-at-arms. 

In 1811, composer and piano virtuoso Franz Liszt was born in the Hungarian town of Raiding in present-day Austria. 

In 1836, Sam Houston was inaugurated as the first constitutionally elected president of the Republic of Texas. 

In 1906, French post-impressionist painter Paul Cezanne died in Aix-en-Provence at age 67. 

In 1926, Ernest Hemingway's first novel, "The Sun Also Rises," was published by Scribner's of New York. 

In 1934, bank robber Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd was shot to death by federal agents and local police at a farm near East Liverpool, Ohio. 

In 1962, in a nationally broadcast address, President John F. Kennedy revealed the presence of Soviet-built missile bases under construction in Cuba and announced a quarantine of all offensive military equipment being shipped to the Communist island nation. 

In 1968, Apollo 7 returned safely from Earth orbit, splashing down in the Atlantic Ocean.

In 1979, the U.S. government allowed the deposed Shah of Iran to travel to New York for medical treatment — a decision that precipitated the Iran hostage crisis. 

In 1986, President Reagan signed into law sweeping tax-overhaul legislation. 

In 1995, the largest gathering of world leaders in history marked the 50th anniversary of the United Nations.

In 2001, a second Washington, D.C., postal worker, Joseph P. Curseen, died of inhalation anthrax. 

In 2015, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton battled Republican questions in a marathon hearing that revealed little new information about the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

Ten years ago: The Obama administration pulled U.S. Ambassador Robert Ford from Syria amid what were termed "credible threats against his personal safety." The heir to the Saudi throne, Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdel Aziz Al Saud, died in New York. (He was succeeded as crown prince by his half-brother, Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz, who died in June 2012; Defense Minister Prince Salman bin Abdul-Aziz was then named the new heir to the throne.) Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal easily coasted to a second term in a landslide election.

Five years ago: Republican Donald Trump vowed to sue every woman who accused him of sexual assault or other inappropriate behavior, calling them "liars" whose allegations he blamed Democrats for orchestrating. The Chicago Cubs won their first pennant since 1945, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-0 in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series.

One year ago: In the closing debate of the presidential campaign, President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden clashed over how to tame the raging coronavirus; Trump declared that the virus would "go away," while Biden countered that the nation was heading toward a "dark winter." U.S. regulators approved the first drug to treat COVID-19; remdesivir, an antiviral medicine given to hospitalized patients through an IV, had been authorized for use on an emergency basis since spring. Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans advanced Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court nomination to the full Senate; Democratic senators boycotted the vote in protest of the GOP's rush to install Trump's nominee to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Macy's said Santa Claus wouldn't be greeting kids at its flagship New York store due to the coronavirus, interrupting a holiday tradition started nearly 160 years ago.

Robert 'Bo' Wesley Young

<a href="https://yazelmeglifh.com/obituaries/leslie-les-mcclendon-1">Leslie "Les" McClendon Obituary 2021 - Yazel - Megli Funeral Homes (yazelmeglifh.com)</a>

Les’s life began on February 23, 1935, the son of Harlan McClendon and Opal (Miller) Johnson in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He was 13 years old when he accepted the Lord as his Savior in a small Baptist church in Los Alamos, New Mexico. He attended Los Alamos schools and graduated with a degree in English from New Mexico Western University in Silver City, New Mexico.

At age 17 he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and served as a sergeant in the Korean War for four years from January 1952 to January 1956. He was awarded the badge of expert marksmanship. When he returned home, he married Teresa Ann Gonzales on August 18, 1956 in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Les loved outdoor activities including gardening, fishing, and hunting.

He taught English in several high schools and later became a jeweler in Richardson, Texas. Les and Teresa lived there for 32 years. When he retired, they moved to Newton, Kansas where they were members of Koerner Heights Church. He volunteered to teach Release Time Bible School and served at Source of Light, a correspondence prison ministry. He loved reading and memorizing scripture. One of the legacies that he leaves is his twenty-plus Bibles that were full of highlighted and crossreferenced, with handwritten notes. He devoted his life to reading and studying God’s Word.

His loving family includes his wife of 65 years, Teresa of the home; children Steve McClendon (Ursula) of Marble Falls, Texas, Byron McClendon (Cindy) of Carrollton, Texas, Elizabeth Claassen (Greg) of Whitewater, Kansas, David McClendon of Richardson, Texas; eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his father, Harlan McClendon and his mother Opal (McClendon) Johnson.

Les passed away peacefully into his loving Savior’s arms on Tuesday, October 19, 2021 at the age of 86 years old.

His family will gather with friends on Thursday, October 21, from 5-7 p.m.&nbsp;at Lamb Funeral Home, 120 S. Main, Whitewater, Kansas. Private internment will be held in Green Valley Cemetery in Furley, Kansas.

Memorial contributions may be directed to NewSpring Church’s Bible Fund which distributes thousands of Bibles internationally or Good Shepherd Hospice in care of Lamb Funeral Home, P.O. Box 358, Whitewater, Kansas 67154.
