Veterans Honored Man headed to prison

for molesting teen Vickie Moss | Managing Editor
LYNDON — A Wakarusa man
will spend nearly 13 years in
prison for molesting a 13-year-
old girl.
Tim Cordonnier was sen-
tenced Monday, Nov. 6, at
Osage County District Court to
155 months (12 years and 11
months) in prison as part of a
plea agreement on charges of
rape and 59 months on a charge
of aggravated indecent liberties
with a child. Cordonnier pleaded
no contest, which means he
did not admit guilt but would not
fight the charge.
The charges stemmed from an
April 2 incident in which Cordon-
nier, who was 40 at the time, mo-
lested a 13-year-old girl who was
at a sleepover with his daughter,
Osage County Attorney Brandon
Jones said.
The case would have fallen un-
der the “Jessica’s Law” sentencing
guidelines, which require a prison
term between 25 years and life for
someone older than 18 who has
sex with someone younger than
14. As part of the plea agree-
ment, the sentence was allowed to
depart from Jessica’s Law because
the victim was near the law’s age
limit, Cordonnier had no prior
criminal history and he was sub-
stantially impaired due to intoxi-
cation at the time of the incident,
according to court documents.
In addition to his prison term,
Cordonnier will be subject to life-
time post-release supervision, will
have to register as a sex offender
and other conditions. He also
gives up his right to appeal.

Gas meter repairs Vickie Moss/Herald-Chronicle

to cost city $5K

Canada geese frolic at the Overbrook City Lake last week. The geese have become a nuisance, with as
many as 90 per day at the lake. City officials suspect the geese may be contributing to the blue-green
algae problem that has plagued the lake all summer and are considering ways to scare them from the
lake. If efforts are unsuccessfull, they may organize a hunt and kill many of them.

BURLINGAME — The Burlingame

City officials will spend up to $5,000
to repair gas meters at the school
and city power plant. According to
Superintendent Wesley Colson there
had been issues with the readouts on
the gas meters and a multiplier had
been found. The multiplier results in
a reading of less than what is being
used.
“There’s a meter in there that’s
from the 1950s, it probably weighs
150 pounds.” Colson said. “To replace
the turbine it would cost $2,000. We
haven’t tested the one at the school
but by looking at it, it’s probably in
the same shape as the meter at the
power plant.”
Colson thought that replacing the
turbine flow metering products would
cost around $5,000 for the school
and power plant. The extra $1,000
would account for the fittings re-
quired for installation.

Board gets preview of high school play

Theresa Vincent | Reporter
Osage City patrons looking for a night
out this weekend can attend “Noises
Off” at the Osage City High School.
Board of Education members were
treated to a preview of the production
during their Nov. 8 meeting. The play
director and a few of the student actors
were on hand to show off their elabo-
rate set and described the play as a co-
medic farce depicting American actors
putting on a British play. Performance
dates are Nov. 17 and 18 at 7 p.m.
Pre-School Update
Three-year-old children in the commu-
nity will have the opportunity to attend
pre-school next year due to overwhelm-
ing support from the Methodist Church
Pre-School Board. Families will receive
financial assistance as needed through
the district’s Mobilizing Literacy Grant
to help with tuition and transportation.
“This is a great opportunity for
patrons” said Dena Paul, elementary
school principal.
The pre-school programs allow school
readiness to begin at an even earlier age
without burdening families, Paul said.
Wrestling Team
Wrestling is being added to the slate
of sports being offered at the high
school. For this season, Osage City High
School student wrestlers will join the
Burlingame High School wrestling team
for practices and competitions. The dis-
trict looks forward to offering their own
program next year.

Charles Coblentz, super-
intendent, reported to the
board regarding the lights
for the football field at the
Lyndon Jones Youth Recre-
ational Park. Coblentz and
Brad Marcotte, high school
principal, met with Robert
Hansen, owner of Hansen
Design Architects and some
of its electrical engineers, to
discuss and look at the lights,
poles and wiring for the light-
ing system.
The controls and poles
need to be replaced soon. The
lenses over the lights have
become yellowed and cloud-
ed and it is recommended to
completely replace the lights
with metal halide lights. The
exact cause of the service
box overheating could not be
determined. It could either
be that the service box itself
needs to be replaced or the
wiring replaced or both.
The cost to replace the
lighting system would be
$200,000 to $225,000. It
would be an additional
$50,000 to replace the lights
with LED lights instead of
metal halide lights, but
that was not recommended
because of how long it would
take to recover the cost by
electricity savings. As part
of the new lighting system,
Hansen Design Architects
would measure to ensure that
sufficient and even candle-
light was provided across the
football field.
The board felt that the
lighting issues need to be
addressed. Coblentz stated
that the next step would be
to go through the Lyndon city
council.
New buses, van
Coblentz presented infor-
mation to the board regard-
ing the need for two new
buses and one new 10-pas-
senger van. His recommenda-
tion for the two new buses is
based on the current condi-
tions of the district’s buses.
The new buses would cost
around $91,000 each for the
basic package.
Coblentz’s recommenda-
tion for a new van comes
from the district’s lost of a
van and a Suburban due to
hailstorm damage. The cost
of approximately $25,000 for
the new van would partially
be offset from the insurance
settlement on the hail dam-
aged vehicles.
Coblentz shared the need
for the new 10-passenger
van has very recently become
more critical because two
additional students will be
attending Flint Hills Techni-
cal College starting with the
spring semester. The cur-
rent vehicle being utilized to
transport the students is not
large enough to accommo-
date the additional students.
After some discussion of
various options, the con-
sensus of the board was for
Coblentz to proceed check-
ing into purchasing two new
buses and one new 10-pas-
senger van.
Coblentz and Marcotte
seized the opportunity to
mention to the board that the
district is in need of new bus
drivers. One of the current
bus drivers will be leaving in
January.
In other business, the
board:
• authorized Lisa Baker,
vice-president, to transfer the
Behrens Scholarship Fund
in the amount of $2,473.51

to a savings account for the
Behrens Scholarship Fund at

Wine among those nominated

students have at their hands,
we need to ensure they have
the abilities to become civi-
cally engaged. Kansas State
Department of Education
believes civic engagement is
a critical piece of a student’s
educational journey, allowing
them to make things better
for the community, state, na-
tion and the world.
As we look at the civic
health of the State of Kansas,
we know that the state ranks
41st in voter turnout and
only 56.6 percent of Kan-
sans vote on a regular basis.
Through voter analysis, we
can identify the popula-
tions not actively involved
in the civic process based
on income and ethnicity.
As Kansans, our state ranks
sixth in the nation in juvenile
detention and three out of
four adult prisoners don’t
have a high school degree.
The cost of incarceration is
twice that of an inmate than
that of educating a student.
So what can be done?
Students need to make a
connection with their com-
munities. These relationships
may just be the opportunity
engagement from preschool
through high school and
learning about civic engage-
ment in a classroom isn’t
enough. Today’s students
need opportunities to
become civically engaged.
Civic involvement isn’t civic
engagement.
We can get our students
civically involved through
making this a graduation
requirement, but this doesn’t
require a personal connec-
tion, all it becomes is meet-
ing a requirement. Students
need to know how rules and
laws change and why gov-
ernment works the way it
does. It is our hope that the
students of Santa Fe Trail
will become more civically
engaged in researching and
attending public meetings
while giving back to the com-
munity through initiatives
of their choosing. It is our
responsibility, as a commu-
nity and school district, to
provide our students with
these opportunities.

Faith and forgiveness

Pastor Kevin Stone
Overbrook Bible Church
Jesus had just given the disciples
a tall order, “If your brother…sins
against you seven times in a day, and
seven times in a day returns to you,
saying, I repent, you shall forgive him,”
Luke 17:3–4.
Forgiving someone who has truly
wronged us is one of the hardest
things we are called to do. Jesus
didn’t just command forgiveness, He
commanded repeated, inexhaustible
forgiveness.
When the disciples heard Jesus’
words, they immediately said, “In-
crease our faith,” Luke 17:5. In other
words, they keenly felt their short-
comings in regard to forgiveness
and appealed to the Lord for power.
“This is impossible,” they were say-
ing. “We might be able to forgive once
in a while, when we feel like it, but
inexhaustible forgiveness? Who has a
reservoir of forgiveness that huge? We
need more faith to accomplish this.”
Charles Dickens’ novel Great Expec-
tations presents a vivid picture of the
effects of unforgiveness. The elderly
Miss Havisham sits in a chair in a dark-
ened room in her wedding dress. For
years, she has sat there, no sunlight,
no change, even the clocks had been
stopped. Her formerly white wed-
ding dress is yellowed. The furniture
is covered in cobwebs. The moldering
wedding cake on the table is food for
mice and roaches.
The cause of this morbid scene was
a tragic event in her past. Her fiancé
had run away on the day they were
to be married. For decades, she lived
in a dark, timeless world of her own
making. She had been wronged, but
she added tragedy to an already tragic
situation. As a result of the bitterness
in her heart, she was trapped in a hope-
less existence.
The disciples in Luke 17, found for-
giveness to be difficult, as well. As soon
as Jesus told them to forgive repeat-
edly, they said “Increase our faith. We
need lots and lots of faith to forgive
like Jesus is telling us to forgive.”
Jesus’ answer likely surprised them.
“If you have faith as a mustard seed,
you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be
pulled up by the roots and be planted
in the sea’ and it would obey you.”
Luke 17:6. In other words, even the ti- 523 Market
niest bit of faith will allow you to obey Osage City
the Lord’s commands.
The disciples were right to acknowl-
edge that faith is the key to obeying (785) 528 – 4246
the Lord. They were right that faith is a Mon. – Sat. 9 – 8
gift. They were right to seek faith from Sun. 12 – 5
Jesus.
furnitureloftonline.com
Jesus teaches the possibility of the
impossible. No matter how deep the
bitterness, it can be removed by faith.
No matter how egregious the transgres-
sion, you can forgive by faith. Even
your mind can be renewed by faith.
By faith we can move forward to ac-
complish the impossible. By faith we
can obey all of God’s commands.
Faith is a gift of God. It is simply
trust in the power of God.

auditorium.
“Noises Off” is a farce
and is a play about a group
of actors putting on the
play “Nothing On.” Unfor-
tunately, the drama is not
confined to the stage. The
love triangles, miscommu-
nications, door slamming
and missed cues will leave
the audience rolling with
laughter.
Act One features a re-
hearsal of the play “Noth-
ing On,” a British comedy,
where things are not going
well as they are rapidly
approaching opening night.
Act Two features a com-
pletely revolving set, which
gives the audience a rare
glimpse into what is go-
ing on backstage during a
performance of a play. Act
Three is a performance of
“Nothing On” that goes ter-

Dayhoff will be concluding
his high school football ca-
reer this season unless asked
otherwise by a recruitment
coach.
“This season I became
more aggressive which made
me a factor on our defense
more so than last year,”
Dayhoff said. “I changed my
mindset this year and it has
let me become a better line-
man all around.”
Dayhoff thought that he
had affected games many
times this season with both
fumble recoveries and sacks.
“I also pushed the oppo-
nent back multiple times by
getting a sack or tackle be-
hind the line of scrimmage,”
Dayhoff said. “These both
spiked my team’s energy
and lowered the opponent’s
morale.”
According to Dayhoff, the
game against Lyndon was the
most challenging so far.
“They didn’t challenge us
with a tremendous amount
of talent with 11 of their
starters but challenged the
team by putting more points
on the scoreboard,” Dayhoff
said. “Once we saw bigger
and bigger digits show up
on the board we lost faith in
ourselves. I’m glad we came
upon this situation because
it taught us how to handle
it next time and defeat that
feeling more important up
and coming games.”
“In high school athletics
technique is not perfect,”
Dayhoff told new players.
“We can’t always control our
technique because some-
times we have to tweak it
and adapt to a move that
the opponent puts on us.
We can’t control the other
team’s movements as well
but the two things that you
can absolutely control are
your attitude and mindset.
One man with an attitude of
never quitting and a mind-
set of always beating the
man across the scrimmage
is dangerous. A whole team
with the same attitude and
mindset is unstoppable.”

Bearcats undefeated
entering Sub-State
Colter Robinson | Reporter
HOWARD — The Burlin-
game Bearcats will continue
their undefeated streak into
sub-state after the sectional
win against the West Elk Pa-
triots Nov. 10. The regional,
sectional and Clifton-Clyde
matches have been the only
games that posed enough of
a challenge to play until the
fourth quarter.
“That was a big road win
for our program,” Head
Coach Jeff Slater said, “West
Elk was a really good football
team. They had a stand-
out quarterback who gave
us some trouble but our
defense was able to force six
turnovers and play tough all
night.”
Seth Greenwood was
selected as the MaxPreps
Player of the Game for his
rushing with 29 carries for
177-yards and five touch-
downs. Greenwood made a
total of 34 points.
“Offensively I was really
happy how our offensive
unit was able to focus in the
fourth quarter and put to-
gether some time consuming
drives,” Slater said. “Montana
Giffin and Seth Greenwood
played a great game.”
Montana Giffin led the
team in passing with two
touchdowns for 187-yards;
Colton Noonan led in receiv-
ing with five receptions and
one touchdown for 73-yards;
Tristan Lee led in tackling
with 11 tackles; Joao Cal-
das had 10 kick-offs for
445-yards and four touch-
backs.
“We had a balanced attack
with over 200 yards rushing
and right around 200 yards

really, really proud of this
