Teacher: “I’m glad you don’t have a fever anymore,” Cardenas said. “You can come have fun with us at school.”

Kid #1: Zhao said (still in jest) that she still didn’t want to come to class, adding that she thought it was “going to be really boring.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kid #2: “How dare you say that,” seven-year-old Benjamin Guelker said from the desk in front of Zhao.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Teacher: “Benjamin thinks it’s fun,” Cardenas said.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kid #2: “I like it,” Guelker said.

Ah the sick day – sometimes a gift to children and sometimes the bane of parents. Hate ‘em or love ‘em, they’re a thing again as students in USD 383 attend school fully in person.

Troy Auman tries to help people of all ages find more confidence not only in their bodies but in all parts of their lives.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Auman, owner and chief instructor at Evolution Training Center in Manhattan, has spent more than 20 years teaching martial arts and self defense skills. What started as a way for Auman to deal with bullying has evolved into a way to help people of all ages find the same confidence.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“We want them to be confident in themselves and their abilities,” Auman said. “That confidence does a lot for them in so many other ways. Learning to believe in yourself is huge.”

Mac Phrommany said the “universe conspired in my favor” when he got his dream teaching job.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Phrommany (pronounced PRO-muh-knee) is the head debate and forensics coach at Manhattan High School, a position he’s held since 2018. Born in Iowa, raised in Olathe and of Laotian descent, Phrommany said he was tenacious for several years in his goal of getting a job with the MHS program.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A K-State graduate with a degree in secondary education, Phrommany, 27, also advises the MHS Asian Student Union, the MHS Interact Club (which is the high-school offshoot of the Konza Rotary Club) and is an active Rotarian. He’s also an avid skateboarder and car enthusiast.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Phrommany said being tenacious with what he wanted in life “wasn’t always second nature,” and that debate and forensics in high school helped him realize how he could help himself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“It can show people how they can change themselves,” Phrommany said. “It can show people how they can change the world. Even if you don’t feel like you are ‘that kind of person,’ you can become that person.”

OZtoberfest – a very, very Kansas event in the town of Wamego. The Dorothy costume competition was a hit, and the winner? The little one pictured at right, two year-old Dorothy Baucom with father Kiydaar. Yes, her name is actually Dorothy and she is doing a great job living into her namesake.

One guess to tell me which buffalo is “Moses,” the herd patriarch at Plumlee Buffalo Ranch near Alma, KS…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I went out with a single flash, 50mm lens and the intent to try (my best, anyways) to recreate one of my favorite animal portraits done by of the famous lion C-Boy in Tanzania.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What I discovered was that…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. It’s very difficult to make a cool portrait of a well-known subject (failed at my recreation effort).
2. Buffalo move almost constantly when grazing (hard for pics).
3. A Kansas field at sundown in the summer has the feel of what I imagine a safari to be like. Can’t wait to compare one day.

Products that contain enough THC to get people “high” are legally available in Manhattan and the rest of the state, due to a loophole created by new laws.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Delta-8, a version of the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) compound derived from h**p plants, are available to customers 21 and up at several stores that have previously sold cannabis products without THC.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Delta-8 THC is an isomer of delta-9 THC, which is the psychoactive compound in ma*****na that gets a person high. The only difference between the two molecules is the location of a double bond between two carbons. That difference is enough that delta-8 is legal for sale in Kansas because it does not meet the definition of ma*****na. Products containing it have started appearing on local shelves, as well as those around the state, in recent months.

Tammy Roca said she visits the CBD American Shaman store in Manhattan weekly to restock on treatments for the severe pain she lives with because of scoliosis. The 59-year-old, originally from Pueblo, Colorado, said prescriptions and over-the-counter medications weren’t working.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“This is my pain medicine,” Roca said. “I’m able to get out with my grandson, I’m able to walk my dog again. I’d be remiss if I said I was healed, but this keeps me going.”

Protestors speak with Kansas State University President Richard Myers and other administrators to convey frustration, ask questions, demand accountability and propose action items to address the issue of sexual violence within the Wildcat community Tuesday evening in Manhattan. In the second photo, Paige Eichkorn, far left, and Sydney Lancaster, center left, lead students in a march around campus. The event, organized by Wildcats Against Sexual Violence, began with speakers and sign making on the Anderson Lawn and ended at the President's Residence.

An air guitar competition led by a man with the stage name “Nordic Thunder.” I bet you can assume which man this is… A lot of moments where I thought, “What on earth am I witnessing here?” More butt cheeks and fire breathing than I anticipated. And one of the most fun events since I’ve been in Manhattan.
