The Ellis County Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 9 to 15. This year’s campaign, “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape,"&nbsp; works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe from home fires. &nbsp;

“Today’s homes burn faster than ever. You may have as little as two minutes (or even less time) to safely escape a home fire from the time the smoke alarm sounds," said Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advocacy at NFPA. "Your ability to get out of a home during a fire depends on early warning from smoke alarms and advance planning."&nbsp;

The Ellis County Fire Department wants to share these key home fire escape planning tips:

•Make sure your plan meets the needs of all your family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities. •Smoke alarms should be installed inside every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of your home. Smoke alarms should be interconnected so when one sounds, they all sound. •Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors and windows open easily. •Have an outside meeting place a safe distance from your home where everyone should meet. •Practice your home fire drill at least twice a year with everyone in the household, including guests. Practice at least once during the day and at night.

Traffic control for the reconstruction of south Vine 
Street project will change on Tuesday. During the 
next phase of construction, both northbound and southbound traffic on 
Vine Street between the U.S. 183 Bypass and Eighth Street will be carried on 
the new pavement in the center of Vine Street, one-lane in each 
direction. &nbsp; &nbsp; 

The intersection of Old Highway 40 and Vine will reopen 
to westbound traffic and will be open to all traffic movements. &nbsp;Due to 
construction in the northeast corner of the intersection of Eighth and Vine
 streets, westbound Eighth Street will be closed east of Vine. &nbsp;East
 Eighth Street will remain open to local traffic, but westbound through 
traffic will use the Old Highway 40 Bypass.

North
 of Eighth Street, traffic will remain one lane in each direction in the 
outside lanes, while the inside lanes are still being reconstructed. 
&nbsp;Access to all businesses will remain open but may be restricted at 
times as temporary entrances are constructed.

Imagine Ellis County&nbsp;has enlisted the assistance of Fort Hays State University’s Docking Institute to conduct a survey on quality-of-life priorities for Ellis County. 

The study aims to better understand residents’ perceptions and preferences regarding various aspects of the county that can improve the area as a place to live, work and play. 

The more households who respond, the more beneficial the findings will be for identifying quality-of-life priorities in our county.

The first mailing wave of questionnaires and cover letters has been sent to a random selection of households in the county. The second wave will go out soon. 

The questionnaire booklet requires only about 10 to 15 minutes to fill out, and it is pre-addressed and postage paid for direct return by mail to the Docking Institute.

The Kansas Department of Transportation has started work on a road construction project in Thomas County.

Crews are first resurfacing the K-186 and K-188 spurs, then will be working on an 8-mile stretch of U.S. 24, starting at the U.S. 83 junction and ending at the Sheridan County line.

KDOT expects the project to be completed by the end of November, weather permitting.

McCormick Excavation and Paving of Colby is the primary contractor for the nearly $2.1 million project.&nbsp;

RUSSELL — Scared Silly will be sure to get you in the mood for Halloween. RCT’s 103rd production is a compilation of short plays dealing with the spooky and supernatural in a most comedic way.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Randyll Mauro is making her directorial debut with this production. Seven short plays have been selected from Scared Silly and RCT is sure this will be an audience favorite! The following individuals have been cast for various roles: Kiefer Craig, Nikki Kuntzsch, Debora Kreutzer, Teressa Roe, Todd Chance, Monica Harrison, Nakota Allen, Dalton Mauro, Brandon Fitzgerald, Sheila Lamb, Olivia Schreiner and Liberty Kuntzsch.&nbsp;

It’s You by Ian McWethy-The Brillmore Strangler is on the loose--and as a slasher-movie junkie, Lois couldn't be more excited. Her friends are less thrilled, especially when they hear she's tracked the killer to the very room they're in. As the bodies pile up, accusing the right guy (or girl!) proves harder than it looks in this loving send-up of slasher-movie mayhem.&nbsp;

The True Meaning of Halloween by Don Zolidis-On Halloween night, a couple opens their door to a find true monster: a teenager without a costume who demands candy anyway. While Alicia thinks they should just give Jordan a Butterfinger and call it a night, to Jonas, it's about the integrity of trick-or-treating. It's about effort. It's about America. But if there's more to Jordan than meets the eye, it just might also be a Halloween miracle.&nbsp;

The Midnight Club by Jonathan Dorf-It's hard enough for a group of students from different walks of life to get along in detention under the best of circumstances. Try midnight detention at a supernatural school where one kid spiked the punch with holy water and another is trying to slow down his transformation into a zombie. A reminder that in a way, each of us is a brain and an athlete . . . and a ghost . . . and a werewolf.&nbsp;

The Kev-Burger by Peter Bloedel-Even though Trisha's broken her glasses, she's excited to have a nice meal with her boyfriend Ned at the new burger place in town. But Ned can see clearly that something's suspicious here. Like the guy covered in blood lurking around. Or the gangsters delivering "steaks" in a body bag. Macabre farce is on the menu in this delicious comedy.&nbsp;

The (Completely Inaccurate) Legend of the Mummy Witch House by Hillary DePiano-Three urban explorers venture into a haunted house to find proof of a legend, but when they come face-to-face with the creepy place's real residents, they're not quite what the trio expected. Turns out, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction--and way more fun.&nbsp;

Forever Friends by Becca Schlossberg-Ash is devoted to her stuffed animals, even though she's thirteen and people give her a hard time. Turns out someone else knows exactly how she feels--who happens to be a terrifying ghost who lives in her closet. A whimsical tale of friendship between the human, ghostly, and stuffed.&nbsp;

Attack of the Cafeteria Zombies by Ed Monk-Earth faces a peril unlike anything humanity has ever seen, and it looks like cafeteria corn dogs. When the principal and a school bully start acting strangely, a group of students discover that aliens are testing a mind control device on their school lunch. But the invaders have one weakness . . . and you can collect them all!&nbsp;

Performances will run October 18-22, 2022, at the RCT Playhouse (5th and Kansas, Russell). Show time is 8:00 pm. Admission is $12 or by season ticket. Scared Silly is presented by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc.&nbsp; &nbsp; Russell Community Theater is a nonprofit theater company in Russell, Kansas. The sole purpose of RCT is to produce theater for the community and the surrounding area. Completely volunteer driven, RCT is supported financially solely through ticket admissions and gifts from those supportive of community theater. Since its inception in 1986, RCT has presented 102 full-scale theatrical productions. For more information, call 785-483-4057 or visit the group's Facebook page.

The family of a longtime Hays businessman is having a celebration of life for him on Thursday.

Friends and acquaintances of <a href="https://hayspost.com/posts/991fa8c0-ac00-4848-be67-c30aa7e024a8">Russ Clark</a> are invited to attend a casual reception from 9 a.m. to noon at the Strand, 1102 Main.

Clark's family decided the Strand was a fitting location because he opened The Village Shop in that location with Don Volker in 1963.

Clark worked at his business for 27 years before retiring in 1990.

He died in December of 2020 at the age of 96 years. <a href="https://hayspost.com/posts/991fa8c0-ac00-4848-be67-c30aa7e024a8">Because that was in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, his family decided to wait until a later time for people to gather safely in his honor.</a>

Blood drive set in honor of longtime Hays first responder

Parents of autistic children are invited to attend a new free support group offered by the Center for Life Experience, 103C E. 27th.

Titled “It’s Good to Talk—Neurodivergent,” the group will meet from 5 to 6:30 p.m. the fourth Wednesday of every month, beginning Oct. 26. Free on-site childcare will be available to those who RSVP by Wednesday, Oct. 5, to the center at (785) 259-6859 or&nbsp;<a href="mailto:info@cflehope.org">info@cflehope.org</a>.

Darian Schulte, the center’s executive director, said in an email, “Parents coping with autism face many obstacles, whether that’s developing parenting strategies, learning better ways to communicate, or advocating for their child.

“This group offers an opportunity to build social supports with other parents in similar situations. Share, listen, and learn from other parents/legal guardians on how they handle their own unique experiences with autism.”
