The Hays Symphony will be presenting its annual Children’s Halloween Concert, “Disney Magic,” on Sunday, Oct. 30, at 2:30 p.m. in FHSU’s Beach/Schmidt Performing Arts Center. The ensemble is under the direction of Dr. Brian Buckstead, Assistant Professor of Violin and Viola at FHSU.&nbsp;

Featured for the Halloween Concert this year are selections from Disney favorites such as&nbsp;Aladdin, Pirates of the Caribbean, Frozen, The Incredibles, Toy Story, Up, Cars, Ratatouille, and more. From newer hits to classic Disney tunes, the medley style mashup will sure to bring delight to concert-goers of all ages.&nbsp;

Parents are encouraged to bring their children in costume to participate in a series of hands-on music activities starting at 1:30 p.m. All pre-concert activities will begin in the Beach/Schmidt Performing Arts Center lobby.&nbsp;

Children dressed in the Halloween spirit are invited to join in the Costume Parade where they will march behind brass players leading the parade. Hays Public Library staff will lead a Musical Story Hour. FHSU’s National Association for Music Education students will assist children in Disney themed arts and crafts.&nbsp;

Youth concert-goers can try their hand at violin, viola, cello, and bass in the String Instrument Petting Zoo led by USD 489 teachers. They can also explore the other side of the orchestra and Meet the Woodwinds and Brass Families, or take to the percussion section with a hands-on Drumming Circle activity. New this year, children will be able to join Johnny Matlock (Studio 809) in Ukulele Fun.&nbsp;

As part of the Halloween festivities, concert-goers will have a chance to take photos with their favorite Disney characters through the NAfME students. The Hays Symphony will also be offering free trick-or-treat bags to the first 250 children. The post-concert trick-or-treat bags are sponsored by a generous donation from Werth Wealth Management.&nbsp;

“Disney Magic” marks the sixth year that the Hays Symphony has put on the Children’s Halloween Concert, an event which invites young people to explore hands-on the world of orchestral music through an afternoon of family friendly activities.&nbsp;

“This event also provides a rare opportunity for children from Ellis county and surrounding counties to experience a live symphony orchestra performing some of their own favorite music,” said Cathy Drabkin, cellist and chair of the symphony’s publicity committee.

“It’s one of our favorite concerts of the year," Drabkin added. “We get to dress up in costumes and share our love of music and the fun of Halloween with children and their families.”

It's that time of year again. Time for the 52nd annual Drive for helping people with intellectual disabilities sponsored by the Knights of Columbus.

From Oct. 14 to 16, local Knights of Columbus members will hand out tootsie rolls in front of many businesses in Hays. Donations received from the Tootsie Roll weekend will benefit the intellectually disabled.

Eighty percent of the money collected stays in Hays and is given to local organizations that work with these special citizens. The balance of the money goes in our state "Commitment to Humanity" fund. This fund helps finance projects like the Special Olympics. Last year, the Knights of Columbus underwrote the Kansas Knights of Columbus Special Olympics Basketball Tournament at Gross Memorial Coliseum in Hays with an amount around $23,000.

The 2023 tournament will be March 18 in Hays.

"Our hearts go out to those effected by this devastating storm," said Schmidt Foundation Chairman Gary Shorman, "and we offer our sincere thanks to the Red Cross for offering much-needed assistance during this recovery.

"The mission of the Red Cross is an admirable one, and we'd urge our communities to do what they can to help by donating."

Free cancer screenings will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 5, at First United Methodist Church, 305 W. Seventh. 

The free cancer screenings are open to the public and hosted by Hays Masonic Lodge No. 195, Masonic Cancer Alliance and The University of Kansas Cancer Center. No appointments are necessary. Lodge members and staff from MCA are teaming up with health professionals from the University of Kansas Medical Center to provide health services that include: • Skin and Prostate Cancer Screenings • Colon Cancer Take-Home Screening Kits • Tobacco Cessation Information • And More Area Masons work with staff from the MCA, the outreach network of KU Cancer Center, and the Kansas Masonic Foundation to coordinate many of the free screening events that often draw several hundred attendees of all ages.

According to Brooke Groneman, MCA outreach director, over 20,000 Kansas residents have attended the screenings since 2003. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, approximately 9,500 Americans are diagnosed with some form of skin cancer every day, and nearly 250 of those are diagnosed with melanoma, the deadliest skin cancer.

The Centers for Disease Control reports that cancer is currently the second leading cause of death in Kansas, and the region has higher than average rates of skin cancer compared to other parts of the country. When it comes to the possibility of cancer, it is always better to catch a potential problem in the earliest stage possible. Anyone identified with a possible health concern at one of the free cancer screenings is advised by the screening team to follow up with his/her local physician. For more information, call Chris Neeley at 785-259-2067.
