Nine College of Education students were recognized for their commitment to teaching science or math in a rural setting during a Noyce Scholars signing event on April 16.

The Noyce Certified Rural Enhanced STEM Teachers (CREST) scholarship provides $15,000 scholarships (renewable for a second year) for students who have obtained at least a junior-level status. In addition, a post-baccalaureate STEM teacher licensure project, implemented in 2023, provides a $24,788 stipend toward completing coursework leading to a full teaching license. The post-baccalaureate pathway was created for individuals with a current degree who seek a career in teaching math and science.

2025 CREST Scholars include: Dustin Rajewski, Victoria; Jazmin Contreras, Hartford, Conn.; Jaylei Sloan, Hoxie; Ellie Van Zelfden, Whitewater. Post-baccalaureate award winners include: Rylee Brake, Garden Plains; Jacob Dunlop, Jewell; Gabriell Hammer, Wallace; Ryan Lawson, Hays; and Maxwell Pein, Manhattan.

The first National Science Foundation grant FHSU received for furthering STEM education in rural Kansas was in 2012. More than 75 scholarships have been awarded since its inception, enabling rural schools to hire quality teachers.

“We value rural,” said Dr. Paul Adams, dean of the College of Education. “We believe that is the foundation of what makes us great. Not just the university, but a large part of the country.”

Students who enroll in the Noyce program, in addition to the monetary award, will participate in Noyce Program activities, complete an FHSU rural teaching certificate, and agree to complete two years of teaching in a high-needs district for each year a scholarship is accepted.

During the signing event, Adams told Noyce recipients that the education they will receive at FHSU will prepare them well as they continue their career path.

“We are investing in you; the federal government, where this money flows from, is investing in you, and the National Science Foundation is investing in our choice. You’re all going to be change-makers,” he said. “We believe in you, and that’s why we’re giving you this scholarship.”

HAYS – The TMP-Marian Monarchs honored a pair of seniors and
sent them out on Tuesday with two big wins over the Plainville Cardinals.

GAME 1: TMP 16, Plainville 1 In the first game, the Monarchs took advantage of 13 walks,
and TMP’s Brynn Rebel allowed just one run in a 16-1 TMP victory.

After a scoreless top of the first inning for Rebel, TMP
scored seven runs in the bottom of the first inning.

The Monarchs took advantage of seven walks, two errors, three
passed balls, and a wild pitch. Hannah Rose and Addison Watson each drove in a
run with an RBI single, the only two hits the Monarchs tallied in the inning.

Plainville got a run back in the second, making it 7-1 TMP.

Watson started the scoring in the second with an RBI single.
She stole home three batters later in a 9-1 TMP lead.

Rebel earned a bases-loaded walk, making it 10-1 TMP. 

The Monarchs added two more runs on passed balls, and
Bridget Feldt drove in a run with an RBI groundout as TMP led 13-1 through two
innings. 

Back-to-back triples by TMP’s Watson and Molly Helget put
TMP up 14-1 to open the bottom of the third inning.

The Monarchs closed the game, scoring on back-to-back wild pitches
on a 16-1 victory.

TMP scored four runs on passed balls and one on a wild
pitch.

Addison Watson was three-for-three with three RBIs and three
runs scored. 

GAME 2: TMP 18, Plainville 0 The TMP offensive onslaught continued into the second game,
but this time, the bats came alive; 11 of the Monarchs' 14 hits were extra base
hits in an 18-0 victory.

Plainville threatened with a couple of runners in the first
inning, but TMP starter Bria Windholz worked out of a jam and didn’t allow
another baserunner the rest of the way with three hitless innings. She walked
two and struck out four.

TMP senior Brooke Koenigsman put the Monarchs on the
scoreboard in the bottom of the first inning with a two-run triple.

Paige Koenigsman and Molly Helget followed with RBI doubles
for a 4-0 TMP lead.

TMP took an 8-0 lead after back-to-back passed balls allowed
a run to score, and then a Plainville error allowed a third run to cross home.

The next hitter in the lineup, Brynn Rebel, drove a two-run
home run to center, putting TMP up 10-0.

Brooke Koenigsman’s second extra-base hit of the inning, an
RBI double, made it 11-0 TMP.

TMP added two more runs on a wild pitch, and then Brynn
Schoepf doubled for a 14-0 TMP lead.

Paige Simpson added a RBI double of her own, and then Addi
Gottschalk and Katie Herrman each collected RBI singles, putting TMP up 17-0.

Emma Wasinger added her first career hit, a RBI double to
put TMP up 18-0 and close out the bottom of the first.

Brooke Koenigsman finished two-for-two with three RBIs and
two runs scored. Brynn Rebel and Addi Gottschalk both added two RBIs.

In between games, the Monarchs honor seniors Brooke
Koenigsman and Teagan Gottschalk.

TMP (23-1 &amp; 6-0 MCL) will close out the regular season Monday
at Hoisington.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>&nbsp;said Tuesday that he’s ordering a halt to nearly two months of U.S. airstrikes on Yemen’s Houthis, saying that the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/houthis">Iran-backed rebels</a>&nbsp;have indicated that “they don’t want to fight anymore” and have pledged to stop attacking ships along a vital maritime corridor.

“We’re going to stop the bombing of the Houthis, effective immediately,” Trump said at the start of his Oval Office meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Trump said that the Houthis had indicated to U.S. officials that “they don’t want to fight anymore. They just don’t want to fight. And we will honor that, and we will stop the bombings.”

That likely means an abrupt end to a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-yemen-houthis-rebels-attack-airstrike-11b0e080b3982542dd621338a7b18afd">bombing campaign that began in March</a>, when Trump promised to use “overwhelming lethal force” after the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/yemen-houthi-rebels-israel-hamas-war-gaza-aid-ship-attacks-0da6c2453fe2c4e5f81923c84c7d3f3a">Houthis said they would resume attacks</a>&nbsp;on Israeli vessels sailing off Yemen in response to Israel’s mounting another blockade on the Gaza Strip.

At the time, they described the warning as affecting the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Arabian Sea.

Trump said the Houthis had “capitulated but, more importantly, we will take their word that they say they will not be blowing up ships anymore. And that’s what the purpose of what we were doing,” Trump said.

“I think that’s very positive,” Trump added. “They were knocking out a lot of ships.”

Asked how the Houthis had communicated that they were looking to stop being targeted by U.S. bombs, Trump offered few details, saying only with a chuckle that the information came from a “very good source.”

A short time later, Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi, confirmed that the U.S. bombing campaign was ending, posting on X that discussions involving the U.S. and Oman, as well as negotiators in Yemen, “have resulted in a ceasefire agreement between the two sides.”

“In the future, neither side will target the other, including American vessels, in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait, ensuring freedom of navigation and the smooth flow of international commercial shipping,” he wrote, calling the agreement a “welcome outcome.”

Defense Secretary&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/pete-hegseth">Pete Hegseth</a>&nbsp;said on social media that Trump’s “objective from Day One: ‘ensuring freedom of navigation.’ PEACE THRU STRENGTH in action.”

The broad-based missile strikes Trump had ordered were similar to ones carried out against the Houthis multiple times by the administration of his predecessor, Democratic President&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a>, in response to frequent attacks against commercial and military vessels in the region.

The Trump-ordered airstrikes gained a higher profile in the public consciousness when The Atlantic revealed that Hegseth had&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/war-plans-trump-hegseth-atlantic-230718a984911dd8663d59edbcb86f2a">texted sensitive plans for a military strike</a>&nbsp;against the Houthis on a group chat in the messaging app Signal that mistakenly included the magazine’s editor-in-chief.

Trump stood by Hegseth and downplayed the breach as a “glitch.” But national security adviser&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-national-security-adviser-mike-wlatz-0c81d044c9ffe18dfd745202e8351b9c">Mike Waltz</a>, who created the group chat on Signal, left his post last week and has been&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-waltz-national-security-signal-db2443f6fed98e4067edd57f26f23603">nominated</a>&nbsp;by Trump to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Fort Hays State baseball team was well represented on the 2025 MIAA postseason honors list, highlighted by head coach Justin Wichert winning the Steve Anson Coach of the Year award and Ty Riley being named MIAA co-Pitcher of the Year. A total of eight Tigers were honored, including seven All-MIAA selections and one Gold Glove Award winner.

Riley was a first team All-MIAA pick for the second year in a row. He was joined on the first team by relief pitcher Brandon Chavez. Elliott Herrmann, Trey DeGarmo and Derek Woolwine were all second team All-MIAA selections, while Cade Flaherty and Tony Moore both earned honorable mention accolades. Luis Ayala was also recognized, with the catcher earning the conference Gold Glove Award.

FHSU's seven All-MIAA picks are the most for the team since the Tigers also had seven honorees in 2016. Wichert is the first FHSU head coach to earn MIAA Coach of the Year recognition and is the first Tiger skipper to earn conference coach of the year honors since 2006 (Matt Ranson - RMAC). Riley is just the second player to earn a major MIAA honor (Ryan Majercik - 2008 Freshman of the Year) and the first Tiger to earn a conference pitcher of the year award since 2006 (Bobby Lewton - RMAC).

Riley led the conference with 111 strikeouts this season, ranking second in the nation and breaking a school record that stood for nearly 50 years. The senior limited opponents to a batting average of .185, second-best in the league, while his ERA of 2.91 was fourth best among qualified pitchers.

Riley is 9-1 on the year, tying for the ninth-most wins in a single season in program history.

Chavez put together a breakout sophomore campaign, earning first team recognition after compiling nine saves and six victories in 22 appearances. His nine saves were second-most in the conference and tied for fifth-most in team history while his six wins were tied for sixth-most. The lefty struck out 53 batters in 51.1 innings of work, third-most on the squad, while ranking third on the team with an ERA of 4.56. A native of Laramie, Wyo., Chavez limited the opposition to a batting average of .246, second-best on the pitching staff.

Herrmann collected second team status at first base after being named to the third team in 2024. The Castle Rock, Colo. native ranked second on the team with 11 home runs, tied for 11th-most in the league, while batting .302 and slugging .580. He reached base at a .404 clip after working 21 walks, tied for the most on the team. Herrmann scored 43 runs, second-most on the team, while driving in 34 RBI.

The senior led the team with 13 home runs this year, tied for sixth-most in the league, while his team-best 54 RBI ranks eighth in the conference. The Andover, Kan. native batted .337 while leading the team with a slugging percentage of .625 and an OPS of 1.041. He also led the team with 44 runs and ranked second with 10 doubles.

The senior made 12 starts, second-most on the team, posting a 4-1 record with an ERA of 4.59. He tossed a pair of complete games while striking out 45 batters in 66.2 innings of work.

The Hoisington, Kan. native led the team with a batting average of .349 while also leading the way with 12 doubles and four triples. His four triples are tied for fifth-most in the MIAA. Moore scored 36 runs and added 36 RBI while working 16 walks. He posted an on-base percentage of .433, second-best on the team.

Ayala earned the Gold Glove Award behind the plate after leading the league with 17 runners caught stealing. He totaled 319 putouts behind the dish, seventh-most in the league, while posting a fielding percentage of .989.

Wichert helped guide the Tigers to their first 30-win season in 15 years and their highest win total in 18 seasons. FHSU's 26 conference wins are the most for the team since joining the MIAA in 2007. The Tigers were picked sixth in the MIAA Preseason Coaches Poll but entered the final weekend of the regular season tied for first place in the league standings before ultimately placing third. Wichert has led the Tigers to 77 wins and counting over the last three seasons, higher than the team's win total of 75 over the seven seasons (2016-22) prior to his hiring in 2023.

The Tigers will open postseason play on Thursday evening (May 8) when FHSU takes on Northwest Missouri State in the quarterfinal round of the 2025 MIAA Championship Tournament in Joplin, Mo. First pitch is slated for 7 p.m. in the final of four games that day.

⚾ Tigers rake in All-MIAA honors

By TONY GUERRERO Hays Post

The Ellis County Commission approved a preliminary plat for Fairview Patch Addition during its Tuesday meeting.

The application includes plans for 13 residential parcels near 400th Avenue and Severin Road. Ten parcels will measure 3 acres each, one about 3.1 acres, and two larger parcels around 4.5 and 4.7 acres.

Environmental Services Director Justin Craig led the discussion, resulting in a 2-1 vote to approve the proposal. Commissioner Nathan Leiker voted in opposition due to the location of the addition.

"I just feel like if we approve a subdivision in a northeast area, it goes against the regulation and the comprehensive plan of trying to control growth communities," he said.

The preliminary plat will return to the Ellis County Planning and Zoning Commission for final approval. The land is zoned agricultural, but is being rezoned residential.

Commissioners approved a request to allocate special alcohol funds to the Ellis County Historical Society for 2025.

Due to Ellis County's size, the funds are split into three categories: general use, parks and recreation, and alcohol and drug programs. Since there are no county parks, the parks portion is usually allocated to the Ellis County Historical Society each year.

"It's going to a good place," Commissioner Neal Younger said.

The Ellis County Health Department received approval to close its office for a few hours on May 21 and the May 22 workday so staff can attend the Kansas Immunization Conference in Wichita.

The conference will offer essential training and reinforce best practices for immunization and outbreak response, especially in light of a current outbreak.

"With the measles outbreak in Kansas, the training is timely," Ellis County Health Director Melissa Miller said.&nbsp;

Ellis County EMS received approval to accept a grant to help pay for two new defibrillator monitors. The total purchase cost is about $73,000, with the grant covering about $18,000.

Ellis County staff also received approval to close the Administrative Building at a future date, which has not yet been determined, to allow the installation of an emergency generator and transfer switch equipment.&nbsp;

Ellis County Commission approves housing addition plans

By CRISTINA JANNEY Hays Post

Laura Monroe's son can't wait to go to day care.

Monroe said in her nomination of Brandi Ficken as the Child Care Champion for April, "Brandi is absolutely the best! My son loves going to her and will ask every day if he can go to day care. 

"She does so many learning and fun activities with the kids, but also gives all the extra cuddles when needed!"

Ficken, who is a Hays native, graduated from Hays High School and NCK-Tech with a business degree.

Ficken, 25, worked at a preschool for five years. After her son, Jace, was born two years ago, she opened an in-home child care.

"This is the best thing," she said. "It worked out for me."

Ficken said the in-home child care means Jace and his mother can be together, but Jace can also make friends with the other children.

Ficken said she always knew she wanted to work with children.&nbsp;

"My favorite part is seeing them grow all of the time," she said, "just the differences in a week to a month. They are always learning something."

The children she cared for at the preschool are growing up.

"It's crazy to think how fast time goes," she said. "You're out in public. They're with the parents, and they're so big."

Ficken's child care curriculum is play-based, with ample time to spend outdoors. She said that manipulative toys are important for fine motor skill development, and outdoor exercise is crucial for children's gross motor development.

She also enjoys doing holiday crafts with the kids.

The children have to adjust to new rules when they enter a child care, but Ficken said she thought the children learn the routine quickly.

Ficken said she hasn't faced many challenges—the most significant hurdle has been helping Jace learn to share his house.

She would urge others who love children to try child care as a career.

"If you want to do it, just do it. Some days it's a rollercoaster ride. Some days are up, and some days are down, but that's OK," Ficken said.

Child Care Champion also cuddle champ

&nbsp;As warmer weather approaches, the City of Hays Parks Department is preparing for another summer season by beginning annual maintenance and system checks at the popular Splash Pad in Seven Hills Park, located at 33rd St. and Hillcrest Dr.

City staff will perform maintenance and inspection activities over the coming weeks to ensure the facility is ready for public use.

Water will begin being pumped into the Splash Pad beginning May 5, giving staff the opportunity to ensure it is ready for the public, with an opening date of May 7 expected.

The Splash Pad, which first opened in 2019, is a popular recreational attraction in the Hays community, featuring 27 interactive play elements that provide cooling relief and entertainment for residents of all ages.

The facility offers a range of nozzles and jets designed to spray, mist, and shower water, creating an engaging and fun water-play experience.

Jeff Boyle, director of parks for the City of Hays, emphasized the importance of annual maintenance in providing safe and enjoyable experiences for the community.

“The Splash Pad has become one of our most visited summer attractions,” Boyle said. “We’re committed to ensuring it remains in excellent condition, not only for safety reasons but also so visitors have the best possible experience when they visit.”

Maintenance efforts include checking plumbing and filtration systems, ensuring water pumps and control panels operate efficiently, and inspecting nozzles and spray jets for any necessary replacements or repairs.

The comprehensive assessment helps extend the life of the facility and guarantees optimal performance throughout the busy summer months.

Once open the Splash Pad will operate daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. However, Boyle noted operational hours may vary due to weather conditions or unforeseen maintenance needs.

“We monitor the weather closely throughout the summer to keep our facilities operating smoothly,” Boyle said. “In cases of severe weather, such as lightning or heavy storms, the Splash Pad may temporarily close for public safety.”

Seven Hills Park is also home to the ARC Accessible Playground, a complementary attraction designed for children of all ages and abilities.

The playground features a large, farm-themed play structure and includes various freestanding sensory and motion-play opportunities.

Boyle said the combination of the Splash Pad and ARC Playground makes Seven Hills Park a vibrant and inclusive destination for Hays families.

“The park provides a great environment for children and families to enjoy outdoor play,” Boyle said. “Having accessible amenities like the ARC Playground and the Splash Pad at the same location gives families opportunities for diverse activities without having to travel far.”

Boyle encouraged all park visitors to follow posted rules, including refraining from bringing pets, alcohol, or glass containers into the fenced playground and Splash Pad areas.

Skateboards, bikes, scooters, skates, cleats, and high-heeled shoes are also prohibited to protect the equipment and ensure safety for all users.

“We appreciate the community’s cooperation in helping maintain a safe and clean environment for everyone,” Boyle said. “We remind visitors that adult supervision is strongly recommended when children are using playground or Splash Pad facilities.”

Anyone with questions regarding the Splash Pad, the ARC Playground, or other Hays Parks Department amenities are encouraged to contact the Parks Department directly at 785-628-7375 or visit the City of Hays website, <a href="https://www.haysusa.com/">HaysUSA.com</a>.

Families have reported thefts from two graves at the Munjor Cemetery.

Chelsea Dickey, a Munjor resident, said several items were stolen from her son Colton's grave before Easter. The family has yet to purchase a headstone, and Colton's marker was taken out of the ground.

The thief or thieves also took solar lights, a cross, a cardinal, decorative initials, a Christmas tree, and memorial stones left by friends and family.
