Ford County Republicans did well in the Nov. 5 general election. Southwest Kansas Storm coach and businessman Gary Thomas won the third district Ford County Commission seat with 1,668 votes, according to unofficial results from the Ford County Clerk’s office.

“I’m honored and humbled to have won the election for County Commissioner for District 3,” Thomas said. “I can’t thank the voters enough for this unique opportunity. I look forward to serving the people of Ford County in 2025 and beyond.”

Defeated Democratic candidate Jan Scoggins received 936 votes. “My deepest appreciation and thanks go out to the 936 voters of Ford County District 3 who cast their ballot for me, and thanks to the many property owners who requested to have my signs placed on their property,” she said. “Though the 936 votes were not enough for me to secure a place of leadership in our community, and to provide diversity to our Ford County Commission, I honor the final count. I also thank the Dodge City Globe for their continued commitment to coverage of commission meetings.”

Republican State Senator Ron Ryckman defeated Democrat Jose Lara receiving 5,358 Ford County votes to Lara’s 2,244.

“I want to thank all who voted for me,” Ryckman said. “It is an honor to represent the people of southwest Kansas in Topeka.”

Ford County GOP Chairman Scott Fischer said Democracy was alive and well here.

“It appears we have had a free and fair election with the will of the people demonstrated by the vote in Ford County and our great country. Observation at the polls shows that there is a wide variety of participants in our recent election with Ford County Clerk Debbie Cox managing another well-run election. It is also exciting to see folks from all walks of life at our watch party on election night where we had over seventy people there through the evening and went through fifteen pizzas.”

Ford County Democrat Party Chairwoman Greta Clark weighed in on both the national and local results.

“Thanks to all who have participated in the democratic process. I will always support the system of the United States government.”

The mantra for the Red Demon soccer team this season is “One game at a time.” On Nov. 6, they played host to the Vikings of Shawnee Mission in the state semifinals, in need of just one more win to advance to the state championships.

Dodge City struck first in this match when Osvaldo Chairez found the back of the net, giving them a 1-0 lead over the Vikings in the first half. Throughout the night, the Vikings had several opportunities to score, but they were consistently denied by the Red Demon goalkeeper, and the defense proved too strong for them.

The Red Demons secured their spot in the State Championship game with a 1-0 victory over the Vikings. With this win, the Red Demons improved their record to (20-0) for the season. Next up for the Red Demons is the Class 6A State Championship game against Shawnee Mission East, who has a record of (18-1-1). The game is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 9, at the Wichita-Stryker Soccer Complex in Wichita, starting at 4 PM.

The Fort Hays State Men’s Golf team secured a tie for 8th place at the Tulsa Cup, held at the Club at Indian Springs. The Tigers posted a solid start with a first-round score of 309, placing them in a tie for fifth after day one. They then logged their best team score in the second round, a 306, before finishing the final round with another 309. Their combined team score across the three rounds was 924.

Cooper Scheck led the Tigers, tying for 22nd individually with a total score of 14-over par. Scheck started with a round of 82, followed by his best performance in round two with a 76. He closed with another 82 in the final round and tallied seven birdies over the week.

Jackson Rader followed close behind, tying for 26th at 15-over par with rounds of 74, 79, and 78. Rader sank five birdies in total, including three in the first round, which helped him finish day one tied for eighth. Cole Streck displayed impressive consistency, tying for 28th overall. Streck carded an opening round of 79 and improved over the next two rounds with 77 and 76. He matched Scheck’s birdie count with seven across the tournament.

Jordan McCaslin had a resilient showing, bouncing back from an opening round of 82 to close with rounds of 76 and 77, tying for 43rd. McCaslin led the Tigers in birdies, recording nine for the tournament. Rounding out the team was Jacob George, who posted scores of 80, 81, and 78 to finish tied for 57th overall.

The tournament saw Rogers State claim victory with a team score of 16-over par, led by Elliot Han Monteremal, who tied for third individually at 4-over par. Washburn University finished just two strokes behind the lead at 19-over par, sliding in the standings after the final round. Jack Phillips of Southwestern Oklahoma State was the individual champion at even par through the three rounds.

The Lady Rebels cross country team earned their third consecutive state championship Nov. 2 at the Cross Country State Championship in Wamego.

Before the 2022 season, the team had only one girl, and there was uncertainty about whether there would be enough runners to form a team. However, after some encouragement and persuasion, a few students stepped up to the challenge, allowing the team to take shape. This young team performed exceptionally well and won the program’s first girls cross country state title during the 2022 season. They defended their title successfully in 2023 and again at the most recent championships.

The original runners from the 2022 season were Kylie Stapleton, Gwyn Jantz, Reegan Meairs, Jacee Deges and Allexis Granados. After the 2022 season, Alleris Granados graduated, and in 2023, the team welcomed two additional runners, Jenna Simmons and Brenna Faurot. The 2024 roster included four of the original runners, along with Simmons and Faurot, but due to injuries, both Faurot and Sloane Jantz were unable to compete.

As head coach, Alex Granados emphasizes a strong team culture.

“The terms and phrases we use with the runners become something unique to us as a team and play a critical role in communicating with them during races,” he said. “They know what phrases like ‘check out’ and ‘punch and pull’ mean.”

Each year, the team adopts a motto. This year’s motto is “ONE MORE.” The team became very goal-oriented, focusing not just on winning but also on team development, having fun throughout the process, and working hard.

Coach Granados cautioned against becoming too fixated on the polls and predictions about the state championship and instead encouraged each runner to put their best foot forward.

They followed the same plan for each race leading up to the championship—run strong, perform consistently and to have fun.

The runners embraced the discomfort that comes with rigorous training, with many practices held early in the morning, long before the sun rose. This training strategy prepared them to excel under the physical and mental demands of racing.

The day of the state championships was rainy and muddy which added to the challenge of an already difficult and hilly course.

Out of 78 runners, two members of the team placed in the top ten: Kylie Stapleton finished 4th and Jacee Deges finished 8th. Gwyn Jantz placed 28th, Jenna Simmons placed 32nd and Reegan Meairs placed 41st. Although Brenna Faurot and Sloane Jantz were injured, they contributed to the team throughout the season, and the team looks forward to their return next year.

As a team, the Rebels scored 34 points, beating the second-place team, Crest, by a narrow margin of 5 points. Throughout the season, the team’s motto remained ‘ONE MORE!’ With their determination and grit, these young women defied many pre-championship predictions and earned another title.

“The three seniors on this team Stapleton, Jantz, and Meairshave set a wonderful example for younger participants,” Coach Granados said. “When they began their journey in cross country, they likely never imagined they would achieve such a significant accomplishment, and now they have every reason to be proud.”

The Lady Rebels cross country team earned their third consecutive state championship Nov.

Take a good look at this gorgeous house!

This was the Bartlett residence.

George V. was born in Ohio in 1835. As an adult, he went into the army and married his first wife, Ellen Cooper, and throughout their marriage, they had multiple children. It was in 1871 when they came to Kansas, though Ellen passed when they were living in Ottawa. By 1885, he married Ella Porter in Emporia, and they had two kids. And in 1889, he became a superintendent of the forestry station in Ford County, making Dodge City his family's permanent home in 1901.

This house was built in 1905.

Though... the caption may have a couple of conflicting or confusing details. Dan Santry Jr. was born in 1911 and why he's pictured here is a mystery. But George V. Bartlett had died in 1912, the funeral services taking place within the home according to the July 19th's newspaper from the Dodge City Kansas Journal. Dan Santry Jr. looks to be around 3-4 years old, but if he'd been born in 1911, then it doesn't make sense, does it?

However, we ran through a theory where we wondered if who had been pictured was actually George's son, George V. Jr. He had been born in 1886, so it could definitely be possible that this is him around 1915 as he would've been nearly thirty years old. When his father died, Ella tried to sell the house as there's multiple listings in newspapers throughout the first couple of years after George's death. But there is no other information about George Jr. as it isn't known that he ever married, and if he was, his wife's name is never used separately. Only "Mr. and Mrs. George Bartlett." Ella was born in 1850, so if this picture was taken after 1912, she would've been in her sixties. She passed in 1945, so it can be possible that this is George Jr.'s mother.

But then we dug a bit deeper into our archive collection and found a picture of George V. Bartlett himself... and it confirmed that the man in this photo is indeed him, sometime in his 70s. Based on this evidence, it's possible that there is a mistake within the caption - perhaps the young boy in the photograph is not Dan Santry Jr. as we cannot find any more information or pictures of him to support it? While we are certain the couple is George and Ella, we'll mark the young boy unidentifiable, and the information given on the caption inconclusive.

The home was sold sometime before the 1920s, and it has had many various owners throughout the last hundred years. But even though there have been quite a few families moving in and out, the home still looks nearly the same as it was in this photo. So many memories and stories could be told if only walls could talk. ❤

Kansas highways could be impacted

by winter weather in Colorado

Winter weather is occurring in Colorado and is expected to continue through Saturday morning, which could impact motorists in both Colorado and Kansas.

As of 6:30 a.m. Friday, I-70 is open in Kansas. However, sections of I-70 in western Kansas were closed Thursday evening due to highway conditions in Colorado.

When weather impacts I-70 going east in Colorado, I-70 closures in Kansas could be necessary again today. The closures would likely begin in Goodland and extend east as accommodations and truck parking fill up. Closures are also possible on other highways in western Kansas.

The Kansas Department of Transportation urges all motorists to know before they go and check KanDrive.gov website for updates on highway closures in both states as well as current regional weather information.

In addition to checking the KanDrive.gov website and regional weather forecasts, KDOT advises motorists to have emergency kits with clothes, blankets, food, water and other supplies.

Historians and authors Margaret and Gary Kraisinger, together with Michael R. Grauer, painted a picture of early Kansas that does not always match up with the popular media of the time.

The trio were keynote speakers at Boot Hill Museum Nov. 2 for the150th Anniversary of the Western Cattle Trail.

It was unbelievable how quickly settlers came west in 1870s, Margaret said, and as drovers “climbed across Kansas using a ladder of rivers” driven especially for “the need for meat” after the Civil War.

“Most of the cattle were handled by professional contractors who would trade cow chips for butter and eggs” on the long journey, following the grass as it turned from March through November.

Most of the cowboys only drove cattle on the Western trail one time, carrying with them their worldly possessions: the clothes on their body and a saddle.

“They lived tough on the trail and they’d be just as broke as the end as they were at the beginning,” Gary said.

Grauer noted cowboy diaries proved true the regret many felt once fully committed to the journey.

““I shouldn’t have gone,’ the diaries stated. ‘I should have stayed home and listened to my wife.’”

But that is precisely what should make Americans so proud to be where they are today, Margaret said.

“The grassroots of America was built on tenacity, wit and dreams. They came out here and faced tremendous hardships. It was a hard, hard life. That’s something to be proud of. That’s something we need to tell the young people.”

Of the 35,000 cowboys on that dusty trail, only about 350 were listed in the book titled, “Trail Drivers of Texas” (what Gary referred to as the “Texas cattle trail Bible”) simply because many folks did not read or write.

Had there been a stenographer in tow, perhaps the representation would have been more accurately depicted in the book. For example, there were a lot more black, Mexican and Indian cowboys than folks realize, Grauer said.

Eventually they became Anglicized, as a majority of the cowboy population represented former Confederate soldiers “which is why you get suffixes like ‘general’ and ‘colonel,’” Margaret said.

Vocabulary surprises abounded.

Believe it or not, “cowboy culture comes from Africa,” Gary said. “Most cowboy vernacular has roots in Spanish, such as the word ‘vaquero.’”

Lovina Eicher
Special to the Globe

This week will put October 2024 into history. It doesn’t seem possible that we have only two months left of 2024.

Around here, we have leaves everywhere. We need to get the leaf blower going and gather up the many leaves. Last week, when my daughters were home for the day, daughter Verena took the leaf blower out there and made big piles for the children to play in. They thought it was fun to hide under the leaves and pop out. It seems only a few short years ago that it was my little ones doing that. Leaf raking was a family event; my husband Joe and I and all the children would go out with lots of rakes to gather all the leaves. A few years ago, Joe bought me a cordless leaf blower, and I really do like using that better than raking. I just need to get more batteries, so I don’t have to wait on them to charge.

We sure are enjoying this autumn weather. It has been so nice even though mornings are very chilly. We did get our frost, so my hanging flowers on the porch are finished with their beauty. As much as I like the flowers, I dislike watering them, and it feels like an extra chore. Son Joseph used to water them quite often for me, and I miss that. We always use hard water from the outside spigot as I am not sure if softened water will hurt plants or not. Does anyone know or have advice on that?

On Saturday, our family gathered at son Joseph and Grace’s house. Grace’s family also came to help. Joseph wanted his barn roof redone, so the men did that. The rest of us cleaned out the tool shed area so that Joseph could keep all his tools in there.

We all went for brunch before they started with the roof. Joe and I took our horse Midnight. She doesn’t like to leave her c**t (which we still don’t have a name for). Any suggestions? We named her last c**t Jett, and we will already be training him by spring. With Lovina’s wedding going on in June, I am not even sure I mentioned that Midnight had another c**t in May. Joseph’s horse Sugar also had a c**t. We were both hoping the horses would have fillies, but such is life. Midnight and Sugar are sisters. Sugar will be leaving our farm soon. Joseph already took his horse Rocky. We will have son Benjamin’s horses Beauty and Star, our horse Midnight and her c**t and Jett, and our pony Stormy. We have six new horse stalls for them in the new barn for this winter.

Back to Saturday… Joe grilled 40 pounds of chicken at Joesph’s. Grace made chili soup and potato salad, and everyone brought a dish, so we had plenty of food. Everyone ate before heading home. Joseph was so glad that the barn roof metal was on.

Ervin and daughter Susan decided to have our family come for an early birthday party for Ervin Jay Jr. on Sunday evening. He will be a year old on November 14. His little siblings thought it was so funny to see him get chocolate cake all over his face. He doesn’t lack attention with five older brothers and sisters. We were served a delicious supper. Sister Verena went with us to Ervin’s Sunday for the birthday party. She came home with us and has been here since.

Yesterday, Dustin and daughter Loretta brought their two little boys here while they went to Loretta’s doctor appointment an hour away. I washed laundry, and it dried really well in the breeze and the sunlight. Denzel wanted to help me get the clothes off the lines. His way of helping wasn’t really helping. Haha!

We tell Denzel when it’s almost time for Grandpa Joe to come home, so he watches by the window. When he sees Grandpa coming home, he is off that chair and out the door, running to meet him.

Joe was eating peanuts and hot tamales, and Denzel kept begging for a hot tamale. Joe told him it was hot, but Denzel still wanted to try it. Joe let him have one, and Denzel blew on it because he thought it was the kind of food that, when it’s hot, you blow on it to cool it off. Needless to say, he didn’t ask for a second one but wanted water. When we asked him if it was hot he just smiled. Grandchildren are so fun!

This week, I’m sharing a recipe for chocolate chip cookies. I made a batch of these cookies last week. They are already history. The grandchildren loved them too when they came. I ended up with 75 cookies. It all depends on what size you make them.

God bless!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
