Board Games and Strong Families
In today’s busy world, family time can easily get lost in the hustle and bustle of daily life. But spending quality time together is important for keeping family bonds strong. One great way to bring families closer is by playing board games—especially Euro-style games. These games focus on strategy, not luck, and avoid direct conflict between players, making them a fun and positive way to build stronger relationships.
How Do Board Games Benefit Relationship Building?
People need to feel loved and like they belong. Friends and family help with that. Playing board games is a fun way for families and friends to spend time together, laugh, and feel close.
To get along with others, we need to learn things like how to understand our feelings, make good choices, and be kind. These are called soft skills. If kids don’t know how to play nicely, they might act out to show how they feel. But when kids have good relationships, they feel happy and safe.
Talking and listening are very important in families. Good communication helps families solve problems and understand each other. We show we care by really listening, smiling, and using kind voices and body language.
In his book, titled “Family Treasures: Creating Strong Families,” Dr. John DeFrain examines what he says are the six major qualities that strong, successful families exhibit across all cultures in order to create positive environments. These include: enjoyable time together, appreciation and affection for one another, positive communication, spiritual well-being (values, beliefs, and life skills), successful management of stress and crisis, and commitment to each other.
There are ways that families can achieve these six qualities through everyday living.
Enjoyable Time Together
- Lots of quality time
- Good things take time
- Enjoying each other’s company
- Simple good times
- Sharing fun times
Appreciation and Affection
- Caring for each other
- Friendship
- Respect for individuality
- Playfulness
- Humor
Positive Communication
- Giving compliments
- Sharing feelings
- Avoiding blaming
- Being able to compromise
- Agreeing to disagree
Spiritual Well-Being
- Hope
- Faith
- Compassion
- Shared ethical values
- Oneness with humankind
Successful Stress and Crisis Management
- Are adaptable
- See crises as challenges and opportunities
- Grow through crises together
- Open to change
- Bounce back from stress and crises
Commitment to Each Other
- Trust
- Honesty
- Dependability
- Faithfulness
- Sharing
Board games are a fun way for families to talk, listen, and enjoy time together. When families have fun and talk well, they become stronger and closer.
This article is the second in a three-part series and comes from information in the Bonding Thru Board Games fact sheets. For more information contact Tara Solomon-Smith, [email protected], 620-244-3826, or visit https://www.southwind.k-state.edu/home-family/family_child_development/

Drought Forecast
Drought… the theme for the last 3 years. So, the million-dollar question… “What will happen in 2025?” To be honest no one knows with certainty what the weather will do besides Mother Nature herself.
Last week I listened to Matthew Sittel the Assistant State Climatologist at Kansas State University talk about our current weather conditions and the projected weather pattern. According to Matt now through April 20th we should expect 50% near normal precipitation for this time of year. After that there is a 40% higher probability of precipitation from April 20th through May 2nd. Along with the rain chances we can expect the temperatures to run on the warm side for this time of year in the next 30 days. As you look farther into June there’s a 30% chance of below precipitation and 30% chance of above average temperatures.
So, what does this mean exactly… well it means there is a slightly elevated chance of precipitation in the next few weeks. Will it rain? There is a good chance it will but it is not guaranteed. The long range forecast into June says chances are we could have a below average rain fall and above average temperatures.
Unfortunately, the forecast does not look promising at this time for producers. The only advise I have right now when planning for the growing season is hope for the best and plan for the worst. I have never wanted to be wrong this much in my life. I hope the weather turns in our favor and we can recover from the last 3 years but only time will tell.

Get Ready for America’s 250th
As America approaches the 250th anniversary in 2026 of the ratification of our Declaration of Independence, the local Molly Foster Berry Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is planning activities to commemorate this significant anniversary. The first event will be a free genealogy workshop on Saturday, May 17, 2025, from 10:00 to 2:00 at the Fort Scott Community College Library in Bailey Hall, 2108 South Horton, Fort Scott, Kansas.
A visiting team of genealogists from the Kansas Society of Daughters of the American Revolution will be at the workshop to present and assist attendees with researching their family history. “If you have ever wondered if you have an ancestor who contributed to American independence, either by serving as a soldier or by providing civilian assistance to the war effort, this is your opportunity to get help with research,” chapter Regent Barbara Ritter stated.
Attendees are requested to pre-register by contacting either Barbara Ritter (913-636-4892, [email protected]) or Jean Strader (620-778-0266, [email protected]). Please RSVP by May 14, 2025. Anyone who is interested in DAR but is unable to attend the workshop, please contact Barbara Ritter. There is no charge for the workshop.
Upon pre-registration, attendees will be emailed a generation chart to be filled out and brought to the workshop. The chart covers three generations (yourself as the first generation, your birth parents as the second, and your great-grandparents as the third). Information needed includes full names, birth dates and places, marriage dates and places, and death dates and places, or as much of that information is available to you for all three generations. If attendees have information on any earlier generations, they are encouraged to also bring that to the workshop.
Any woman 18 years or older may join DAR by documenting her lineage to an ancestor, male or female, who aided in the cause of American independence through military, civil, or patriotic service. Founded in 1890, the DAR is one of the largest women’s lineage based, nonpartisan, and patriotic nonprofits in the world, with 185,000 current members and approximately 3,000 local chapters. The DAR mission encompasses three key areas: historic preservation, education, and patriotism.

Presumably Drunk Driver Takes Out Airport Fence
Early this morning, a vehicle destroyed the fence near the entrance to the Fort Scott airport. Airport workers say that their cameras on the terminal picked up some lights, but the area was far enough away to make identifying the vehicle impossible.
Based on the tire tracks, it appears that the vehicle rammed the fence, drove over it, spun around in a circle and then headed back out to the road.
If anyone has any details or information about the incident, please let the city or airport staff know.
Christian Learning Center and Uniontown High School Win at Solar Energy/Engineering Challenge
Heartland-Sponsored Teams Honored at 2025 SunPowered Student Challenge
WICHITA, Kan. (April 2, 2025) — Three student teams sponsored by Heartland Rural Electric Cooperative earned top honors at this year’s SunPowered Student Challenge, held April 2 at Wichita State University. The annual event brought together high school students from across the state to test their knowledge and skills in solar energy and engineering through hands-on, collaborative challenges.
“A lot of people think more solar is always better, but that’s not how the grid works,” said Mark Scheibe, Heartland CEO. “This challenge teaches students that energy has to be balanced, timed, and integrated into the system.”
The CLC Wasps from Christian Learning Center in Fort Scott took home the top prize, winning both the Performance Challenge and overall first place in the competition. Guided by science teacher Scott Cain, the team’s strong showing reflected their deep understanding of solar energy and their ability to apply it in real-time, problem-solving scenarios.
The Uniontown Eagles from USD 235 Uniontown received the Curb Appeal Award for their innovative and visually striking solar designs, blending aesthetics with functionality. Also finishing strong, Columbus Solar from USD 493 Columbus along with the K.E. Helios Heroes from USD 273 Beloit shared the Collaborative Challenge title.
“We don’t just need people who know how to install solar panels—we need problem solvers who understand the whole system,” Scheibe said. “And that’s what we’re helping build through the SunPowered Student Challenge.”
The SunPowered Student Challenge, now in its second year, requires that student teams work through a hands-on curriculum and then take what they’ve learned and compete against other teams at a statewide competition. SunPowered is presented by Future STEAM and founders Heartland Rural Electric Cooperative, Kansas Electric Cooperatives, Inc., Pitsco Education, and Ten80 Education.
For more information, contact Doug Graham, Heartland Communication Specialist, at (620) 724-5526.
Heartland Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. powers rural lifestyles throughout more than 11,000 locations in eastern Kansas. Heartland’s service area includes parts of 12 counties: Allen, Anderson, Bourbon, Cherokee, Coffey, Crawford, Labette, Linn, Miami, Neosho, Wilson, and Woodson.

MOTION: VAN HOECKE moved to approve the demolition bid from Dave’s Demo for $3,000.00. DANCER seconded. DANCER, VAN HOECKE, SALSBURY and OLSON voted yes. WELLS voted no.
MOTION CARRIED 4-1.
Appearance – Scott Flater/Water Utilities Director – (12:47)
FLATER addressed the Commission to update on the Water Utilities Department and provided a handout illustrating the status of the wastewater treatment facility and lagoons. Highlights of the department include: switching from gas ammonia to liquid ammonia for operator safety; installation of a new hydro chlorine analyzer on the inflow of the clear well; new electric pole and box at the east tower; coupler and laser align replaced on pump one at the college booster and Fort Scott was in the top (3) finalists of the best tasting water in Kansas contest at the Kansas Rural Water Conference in Wichita. He also stated that they finished their water usage report for 2024 – (787) million gallons of water was produced which is approximately (2) million gallons per day (2,332 hours at the water treatment plant). A myriad of tests are performed including coliform bacteria, total organic carbon, nitrates, bromate, disinfection byproducts, pesticides, fluoride and inorganics. All samples are collected and sent to KDHE. Wastewater Treatment Plant updates: last AMS trailer left on March 13, 2025. There were (7) trailers on site and down stepping (1) trailer every (2) weeks since January. The boat they were using to integrate the microbes has been removed from Cell #1. A new mixer and aerator have been installed in the digester. Another aerator has gone down, so FLATER stated he will be back before the Commission to request a replacement. Once that is completed, the digester will be fully functional. However, the facility needs (1) more aerator for #2 Holding Basin. Data collecting is done on both the water treatment and wastewater sides. Some of the tests recently completed include: the (503) is an annual soil sample test which was approved for 2024; the chronic (wet) test – passed for 2025; priority pollutant scans – done monthly. In 2024, (806.5) million gallons went through the wastewater treatment plant, (1,003) work orders, 1,006 loads came into the lagoon from ADM, hauled 1.67 million gallons of biosolids out into the fields. There are hundreds of tests on samples completed including but not limited to: ADM samples, PACE Analytical, ammonia nitrate, satellometer samples, and mixed liquid/suspended solid samples.
(23:24) – Discussion was had regarding the data reported for the ADM load samples provided by FLATER in handouts. The problem remains that it is a municipal lagoon being used to dump ADM’s industrial waste and our lagoons cannot handle the industrial waste without AMS. The contract with ADM expired in December (2024) and discussion was had on renewing the contract. FLATER stated he sent an email to MATKIN recommending that the City stop taking industrial loads from ADM. FLATER explained how the City was charging ADM for their loads, both industrial and domestic. He also explained the pipeline and the plant effluent (reuse) water. FLATER would like to continue selling ADM the effluent water and continue taking their domestic loads (20-40 loads per month) as long as we can trust that nothing else is in there, but he does not want the tank.
Discussion was had with DICKMAN commenting on what the plant could handle currently.
MOTION: WELLS moved to authorize the City Manager to not accept any of the loads that are outside of the limit and only take the domestic water and accept the contract for selling them the effluent plant water, get a contract drawn up that specifies they have to mechanically dredge, they have to provide the tank, they have to pay for the chemicals and if they don’t sign the contract, we don’t take any more of their industrial waste.
Further discussion was had regarding a contract.
OLSON called Point of Order requesting a second to the Commissioner’s motion.
MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
MOTION: OLSON moved that we temporarily suspend all industrial waste from ADM pending our City Manager and Water Utilities Director to communicate with them that it’s going to be suspended, are they willing to come to the table to negotiate. VAN HOECKE seconded.
Discussion was had regarding determining domestic from industrial loads.
WELLS requested OLSON to amend his motion to include Earles Engineering in the discussion. OLSON stated he would leave it to the City Manager’s discretion.
SALSBURY, VAN HOECKE, DANCER and OLSON voted yes. WELLS voted no.
MOTION CARRIED 4-1.
Appearance – Shawn O’Brien – Good Ol’ Days – Street Closures, Memorial Hall Reservation, Pavilion Reservation and Parade Permit (46:49) – Use of the Gathering Place Pavilion was clarified to be used after the Farmer’s Market hours on Saturday. Plan A – Everything on Skubitz; Plan B – If rain on Friday night, move the portable stage to the Pavilion; Plan C – If the weather is too bad, move to Memorial Hall – same scenarios on Saturday for weather.
MOTION: VAN HOECKE moved to approve the request of the Good Ol’ Days street closures, Memorial Hall reservation, pavilion reservation and parade permit. SALSBURY seconded.
MOTION CARRIED 5-0.
Consideration to extend Street Closure hours for Prom Walk In – April 5, 2025 – 1:00PM to 11:00PM (50:52)
MOTION: WELLS moved to approve the change in hours for the Prom Walk In so that the 1:00 time frame is adhered to and everything else would be the same as the original application. DANCER seconded.
MOTION CARRIED 5-0.
Public Hearing – (51:58)
Consideration of Vacation of Street and Alley at approximately 123 McCleverty by the request of Alyssa Green and Derrik States – NATION stated he had no further updates from the original application. The agenda packet included (3) pictures of area including the street and alley that was asked to be vacated which would be closing up 2nd Street and the alley runs south to the length of their property. The applicants own the (4) quadrants surrounding the areas to be vacated.
MOTION: OLSON moved to open the public hearing for the consideration of vacation of street and alley at approximately 123 McCleverty. WELLS seconded.
MOTION CARRIED 5-0.
Discussion was had on how long the structures had been on this property and the purpose of the request. NATION stated that the building to the east, that is in 2nd Street (according to the photo) is no longer there. Further discussion was had on the amount of land that the applicant is requesting to be given by the City. No one was present to represent the request.
MOTION: DANCER moved to close the public hearing – (56:42) WELLS seconded.
MOTION CARRIED 5-0.
MOTION: WELLS moved to deny the application. DANCER seconded.
MOTION CARRIED 5-0.
MATKIN left the meeting (57:48)
Status of 118 E. Wall St. – (57:45)
KRUGER stated he had some phone conversations with the business owner. The insurance company cannot write a policy with the “Red Tag” on the building. He stated the claim has been made and verified. He stated that at the next meeting he will have the bids that were requested. The owner is willing to sign the documents presented by the City Attorney, but said he cannot fulfill the insurance requirements.
MATKIN returned to the meeting (59:22).
Further discussion was had about liability indemnification.
Consideration of Resolution No. 10-2025 Project Authorization of the East National Improvements– (1:01:33) – HERRMANN explained that the resolution would authorize the construction of improvements to East National basically from National Avenue heading east towards the cemetery to approximately the railroad tracks. The cost estimate is $3,560,000.00. The resolution would authorize the City to make those improvements and authorize the City to issue bonds to finance all or a portion of the cost of those improvements. It is anticipated that the City will be able to get a grant from KDOT of approximately $1,000,000.00 to help offset all or a portion of those costs. After adopting this resolution, the City would have the ability to issue bonds in an amount sufficient to pay the balance of the cost in order to finalize that project. It would not require that the City go out and issue bonds to finance this, but it gives the authority to do so at some point in the future when it is most convenient for the City.
Discussion was had about the KDOT grant and the anticipated price increase and project cancelation due to tariffs. The resolution could be increased due to price increase once facts are known through an amendment. DICKMAN stated that the grant is a KDOT Cost-Share Grant. There are stipulations and they do have a time frame which can be verified once it is accepted. It is for construction costs only. KDOT only requires a set of engineered plans to proceed, and he explained the reimbursement process. MATKIN stated that they are looking at different ways to complete the project, including the City working on parts versus a contractor being called in to save money. Further discussion was had on the anticipated stormwater portion of the project and potential funds to be used.
MOTION: OLSON moved to approve Resolution 10-2025 as presented. WELLS seconded.
MOTION CARRIED 5-0.
Consideration of Plow Truck Purchase (1:11:33) – COFFMAN explained that after the last snow storm the trucks were having breakdown after breakdown until they were down to (1) truck. They found out (2) of the trucks have giant cracks in their frames and described the other issues that were discovered. The (2) trucks that are totally down are 1993 models and the other (2) are 1999 models. He stated that they have been looking at options to get the fleet back up. MATKIN stated that people are wanting quite a bit for their used products. COFFMAN stated that next year there will be the introduction of a new emission which will probably raise the price of a truck $10-$15,000.00 per truck. COFFMAN submitted estimates and recommended purchasing from International Financing. The proposal is for (4) trucks with a payment of $150,000.00 per year for (6) years. At the end of the contract, the City will buy them for $1.00 each. The new trucks are anticipated to last 14-15 years. COFFMAN stated these are all SourceWell priced quotes. The trucks include an 10-ft. plow, spreader, and a bigger engine. They are fully equipped (not fancy), single axle, Class B, CDL truck so great for hauling. MATKIN explained that funds for the trucks will come from the approximately $300,000.00 that was budgeted for an excavator this year. They believe that the dump trucks are much more important than the excavator this year. With the money saved, MATKIN stated we could possibly go out for an oil truck, steel drum roller and possibly a rubber tire roller which will get us the equipment for asphalting, allowing the City to do work themselves.
Discussion was had about the options presented. MATKIN stated that he talked to HART/BakerTilly, and the money would come from Wastewater, Water, and Street Funds.
MATKIN left the meeting (1:20:47) and returned (1:21:51).
MOTION: WELLS motioned to move forward with the lease of the plow trucks for the (6)-year term at $153,397.60. DANCER seconded.
MOTION CARRIED 5-0.

MOTION: DANCER moved to approve the purchase of handguns for the police department with the low bid from Kiesler Police Supply for $12,676.69. OLSON seconded.

ACTION: MATKIN will write an email to the elected representatives receiving the letters signed in (30) days and ask them if they saw it and will report back to the Commission.
FARMER returned to the meeting (1:42:21).
Further discussion continued regarding the difference of opinions on whether the letters being brought to the table were partisan and City business.
OLSON called for Point of Order (1:43:30)
Discussion continued between WELLS and VAN HOECKE.
Food Trucks – (1:45:36)
MATKIN and NATION presented the topic for discussion. MATKIN stated that the point is to be fair, consistent and accurate when enforcing our Codes. NATION presented examples of ordinances other cities use for food trucks and/or food vendors. Currently the City of Fort Scott does not have a specific ordinance for food trucks, however they cannot park on public property. NATION stated that the City does have an ordinance that does exempt vendors participating in the Good Ol’ Days.
ACTION: MATKIN will continue to work on a viable ordinance for food trucks with NATION and KRUGER. They will bring it back to the Commission for review and approval.
