By LORI BLAKE Candidate for Kansas House of Representatives 69th District Last&nbsp;year, I decided to run for the State House in the 69th district. &nbsp;Over three decades as a small business owner and administrator in public education, disability supports and child abuse prevention, I have learned families are the foundation for society.&nbsp;After thirteen years on the Southeast of Saline &nbsp;School Board, I want to share my knowledge and experience supporting high quality education and representing the real needs of local families to change &nbsp;policy. I’m running for the Democratic nomination. But I have a confession: the Democrat label doesn’t quite describe me.

Though registered as a Democrat when I was younger,&nbsp;over the years I’ve also registered as a Republican, and I’ve voted for both Democrats and Republicans many times.&nbsp;As a school board member advocating to our legislators, I quickly became frustrated by the gridlock caused by our two party system and their inability to collaborate to solve problems. I chose to unaffiliate and tried to distance myself from both major parties because I think politics at the state and national level have gotten nasty. And too often, these same politicians forget there are local leaders elected to &nbsp;make decisions that are local issues. We are not a one-size fits all state. Much of the focus in Topeka should be sent back to our city, county and school boards. These people understand their communities and their values best. &nbsp;

Both parties are too dominated by their extremes and people with narrow agendas that the average person doesn’t care much about. &nbsp;People like me, who just want government to focus on setting policy that betters people’s lives, tend to stay away from running for office. &nbsp;Picking one of the major party banners doesn’t quite feel right.

But this year something different is stirring here in Kansas: the United Kansas Party. It’s a new political party that wants to lift the voices and values of moderates—people who value collaboration, compromise and understand a single mind can’t arrive at the best solution due to their limited experience. We are stronger when we work together. &nbsp;We should seek to create a culture of civility over ideological wars focused on beating the “other side.”

What makes United Kansas different from other third parties is that it wants to be a constructive party, not one that runs its own fringe candidates, dividing the vote. It’s focused on reviving fusion voting, an old practice here in Kansas that used to be common until the early 1900s.

Fusion voting is when two or more parties each nominate the same candidate, but voters get to express their support for that candidate on the ballot line that most closely matches their values. Fusion will let people like me express our support in the general election in a way that will make moderation more of a political force to be reckoned with.

So, my neighbors, get ready for something new (or rather, something old that is coming back). The United Kansas Party is planning to nominate a number of candidates this year, in order to give moderates like me a boost. I hope you’ll consider this shift. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll help launch &nbsp;our state to the stars out of difficulty.

OPINION: Blake, candidate for Kansas House of Representatives 69th District, ‘People Over Partisanship’

Salina Post proudly presents Flashback Friday in partnership with the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.smokyhillmuseum.org/">Smoky Hill Museum</a>. Enjoy a weekly tidbit of local history from the staff at Salina Post and the Smoky Hill Museum as we present "Salina-Flashback Fridays."

The city of Salina has 28 unique parks, with more than 1,000 acres of parkland across town, and Indian Rock Park is one of the city's first.

Situated next to the horseshoe-shaped Lower Smoky Hill River Falls in town, Indian Rock Park stands as a pillar to history just before Salina's founding in 1858.

This park has a 1.2-mile nature trail with very scenic overlooks, including one that overlooks the rock the park is named after. Tradition says the rock marks the site of the Battle of Indian Rock in 1857, the last significant skirmish between the Kansa, Delaware and Potawatomi Native nations.&nbsp;

Throughout the 1800s, various Native American groups lived in the region now known as Kansas. The federal government moved displaced Native Americans from the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes region to reservations in eastern Kansas.

Many Native Nations comprise the nomadic bands of people who made their homes in and around Salina, including the Pawnee, Kaw, Kiowa and Arapaho, but other Native Nations called the Great Plains their homes by the mid to late 1800s.

Central Kansas was home to most Great Plains Native Nations' hunting grounds, with the Smoky Hill River providing a vital source of fresh water to the nomadic communities.

The individual communities of these nations often fought to protect their food sources, lands and lifestyles from fellow Native Nations or American settlers.

According to the Smoky Hill Museum, the Smoky Hills and Salina region was a crossroads providing food and water sources for migrating animals like bison. This caused conflict between Native hunting parties east of the Salina region and hunting parties west of Salina.

In 1857, the Battle of Indian Rock took place right here in Salina between the Great Plains Native Nations and the Eastern Kansas Native Nations.

While many different tribes lived in what would become Kansas, these tribes participated in the Battle of Indian Rock, according to records from the Smoky Hill Museum.

Eastern Kansas Native Nations: Kaw Pottawatomie Delaware

Great Plains Native Nations: Cheyenne Arapahoe Sioux

Christina Campbell, one of the first settlers in Salina, recalls the story as told to her by the Native Delaware peoples:

"The Delawares and Pottawatomies were on a big hunt some 200 miles west of Salina and were surprised and attacked by a powerful force of Cheyennes, Sioux, and Arapahoes. They were driven back in a running fight to Dry Creek, just west of Salina. Ere they sent runners for the Kaws, who had two large hunting parties nearby.

The wild Indians finally drove the civilized tribes out of cover of the "Dry" creek, with great loss. They fell back across the river to the hill east of Salina, where they were reinforced by the two bands of Kaws with some rifles they had secured at their reservation at Council Grove.

Here the Cheyennes attacked riding in circles, while others, hidden in the grass, were shooting arrows at the civilized Indians, who sought the shelter of the rocks. Behind the great rock itself, the Kaws, who had rifles, were doing good work at short range.

The Cheyenne chief finally drew back, and with a large number of warriors, charged the rock cavalry style, even though the Cheyenne were outnumbered. He made five successive charges, each at a great loss. Upon the final charge, he was killed, leaving a fearful toll of dead and wounded in his own ranks, without inflicting great damage to his foes.

At length, badly beaten, the wild tribes withdrew, leaving the ground covered by their dead."

William A. Phillips, one of Salina's town founders, told this story in the Junction City Union newspaper on May 7, 1857:

"As the buffalos were scarce east of the line of the Saline and Solomon, they crossed the threatened "deadline" and were camped on the spot where the old graveyard stood and between the mounds of the upper mill. The Cheyennes who were then camped near Cow Creek, learned of the intrusion, and as they at that time maintained a little army of soldiers, some three hundred picked men, most of this force was sent against this band of Pottawatomie hunters. The Cheyenne warriors came in on the ridge that skirts the bend of the Smoky to the southeast, coming down over the upper hill, and attacked just as the day was breaking. It was a surprise and a massacre rather than a fight. A few of the Pottawatomie warriors seized their rifles and tried to hold their enemies in check, while the others fled north across the Smoky Hill River. In the attack one woman and two children were killed, besides a number of men. The precise loss of the Pottawatomies has been variously stated, but fourteen in all were buried on the hill near the spot where they were encamped."

Later, leaders of the City of Salina saw the significance of the site, and planners dedicated the area to the historic site and founded it as a city park, all surrounding the large rock formation on its trail.

The National Weather Service Wichita (NWS Wichita) issued a tornado watch for portions of northern Kansas.

By OLIVIA BERGMEIER Lead Reporter - Salina Post

Storms loom in the forecast again for much of the central Plains today, with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Storm Prediction Center (NOAA SPC) meteorologists predicting 70 to 80 mph wind gusts, large hail and the possibility for tornadoes.

National Weather Service Wichita (NWS Wichita) meteorologists predict that storms will reach the Saline County region between 7 and 10 p.m. today, while severe weather could begin as early as 4 p.m. across portions of Texas and Oklahoma.

Salina experienced a chilly morning, with the Salina Regional Airport reporting a brisk 55.9 degrees at 5:53 a.m. and a dew point of 48.9 degrees.

"It was a pretty cool chilly morning, so it's going to take quite a while for the deep moisture to get up into the Salina area," said NWS Wichita Meteorologist Scott Smith. "I would say that after the seven or eight o'clock timeframe would be when you see any impacts, and most likely, the storms would develop off to the West and head toward Salina, so it could be even later than that."

The city of Salina lies on the edge of the moderate-risk area defined by the NOAA SPC categorical outlook. Still, much of Saline County and south central Kansas have higher risks for damaging severe weather.

Smith said that storms that may later reach the Salina region will likely begin as isolated storms in western Kansas but have the chance to congeal into a line of storms often referred to as a squall line, decreasing the chance of tornadoes.

Although the threat of tornadoes decreases when isolated storms become a squall line, the danger of 80 mph straight-line winds and damaging hail remains a significant concern.

"You can't rule out a tornado even in that scenario, but tornadoes would be more likely early on, and then your strong, straight, damaging winds later as they hedge their way to the Salina region," Scott said.

These squall lines often bring heavy rains alongside the large hail and strong wind gusts.&nbsp;

Smith said that although meteorologists at the NOAA SPC and NWS Wichita have a medium level of confidence in which areas will see storms this evening, residents should prepare accordingly with at least two ways to receive weather information, like a smartphone and weather radio or any other combination of receiving weather information, and have an action plan for when severe weather hits.
