Bob Campbell Honored as Grand Marshall in Good Ol’ Days Parade

Leave a comment
Bob Campbell is honored by the community to be the grand marshall in the 2019 Good Ol’ Days Parade. This photo was taken in the 2013 parade.

Bob Campbell, 52, has been Fort Scott High School’s head football coach two different segments of time, from 1992 – 2005 and again 2010 – 2019.

In addition Campbell has been the head boys track coach from 1992 to 2005 and was high school math teacher from 1990 to 2005.

This year, he  has retired  from coaching.

The community is honoring Campbell by making him the grand marshall of the 2019 Good Ol’ Days Parade, this evening, Friday May 31 at 6 p.m. There are over 70 entries in the parade according to the Fort Scott Chamber of Commerce.

The following is an interview with Campbell:

How did you become a coach? And when?

“As I was growing up, sports was always a big part of my life and something I really enjoyed.  My friends and I were always playing football, baseball, basketball, or competing in some game.  After high school, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to play football at Pittsburg State University and be a member of the track team as a javelin thrower.  About my junior year in college, I chose to become a math teacher and I knew I wanted to coach as well.  During my time at Pittsburg State, I was fortunate to spend time and learn from two outstanding coaches – Dennis Franchione and Jerry Kill.  I student taught and coached football at Webb City High School in the fall of 1989 and upon graduating from PSU, I accepted a job as math teacher, assistant football coach, and assistant track coach in Fort Scott.”

What motivated you to coach for 25 years at FSHS?

“One of the factors that led me to Fort Scott in 1990 was my dad’s illness.  He had been recently diagnosed with cancer and I thought it would be best if I were closer to home.  As I became the head football and track coach in 1992 at age 25, I wanted to stay and build quality programs.  I enjoyed the classroom and I always wanted my students to see me as a teacher first.  The school district, students, and community were very supportive of me and I loved my job.”

This past season on the sideline during a Fort Scott High School football game, Campbell gives instructions. Assistant coach Bo Graham is in the background and assistant coach Josh Regan in the front. Graham is now the head football coach. Submitted photo.

What is the best thing about coaching?

“It’s hard to explain the best thing about coaching, but it would be the relationship and experiences you share with your athletes and coaches.  Our success over the years would not have been possible without the outstanding, hard-working athletes we’ve coached and the amazing help I’ve had from assistant coaches over the years.  They have been more than assistants.  They have been some of my best lifelong friends and I will always cherish the memories we have shared!  My goal was always to give our community a program they could be proud of.  I grew up in a small town and I realize the impact a program can have on the community. I also need to thank the community and all of the wonderful parents who allowed us to coach their kids. ”

This submitted photo is  the first game of the season in 2010 at Labette County High School, with Campbell  leading the team out, prior to kickoff.

What challenges are there?

“There are challenges at times.  Coaching is very time consuming!  Most folks see practice and games, but they don’t see the planning of practice schedules, working at the stadium, watching film, coaches meetings on weekends and many other duties that come with the position.  I was only able to make it work because of the help from my amazing wife and family.  At times, Tami, Mallory and Matt were three more assistants.  Every job has challenges, but coaching provided me with countless wonderful memories!”

What are your feelings for being the grand marshall of the Good Ol’ Days Parade on May 31?

“It is humbling!  I was shocked when I was asked.  It’s an honor that I share with all of our former players and the outstanding assistants who have helped me over the years.  As I have said on many occasions, I haven’t made a tackle, thrown a pass, or scored a touchdown ever at Fort Scott.  Our success belongs to all of the kids who have worn the Tiger uniform.  I want to say ‘Thanks You’ to all of them.

“We’ve also been associated with the Good Ol Days for a long time.  One of the duties our football team has helped with over the years is the set up, trash duty and clean up of the Good Ol Days celebration.  We started in the early 90’s and have been helping every year since.  It was a good way for us to earn money for our program and it provided a service to our community.”

He and his wife, Tami Campbell have a daughter, Mallory Martinez and son-in -law Ryan Martinez, and a son Matt Campbell.

The  Uniontown High School graduate of 1985 furthered his education by earning a bachelors of science degree in mathematics from Pittsburg State University in 1990.

Following his retirement in 2005 from teaching, he attained the position of financial advisor and business partner with SEK Financial in 2006 and is still employed there.

Leave a comment

Summer Food Program Feeds Kids For Free

With summer right around the corner, it’s time to think about keeping children eating healthy while school is out, according to a press release from USD 235.

USD 235 at Uniontown will once again provide free meals to children during the summer.

The cafeteria at West Bourbon Elementary School, Uniontown.

“In the two years before this we also had sites in Bronson and Redfield, but sadly we just do not have the staff to operate all three sites so this year it will only be at the WBE school (in Uniontown),” said Michelle DeMott, USD 235 Food Service Director.

“This is a USDA funded program to help provide meals for children 0-18 years of age who may not have access to meals while school is not in session,” DeMott said. “The program is free to any child 0-18 years of age regardless of financial status.”

This summer, meals will be served at West Bourbon Elementary Monday through Friday, June 3 through June 28, 2019.

Breakfast will be served from 8:30 am – 9:00 am.

Lunch will be served from noon – 12:30 pm.

There are no income requirements or registration.

Any child 18 years of age and under may come to eat.

 

 

For more information, contact USD 235 UNIONTOWN (Michelle DeMott, (620) 756-4302, [email protected], uniontown235.org).

 

Each year, the United States Department of Agriculture partners with local organizations like USD 235 UNIONTOWN to provide free meals to children when school is out for the summer.

50-year math instructor Alan Shinn addresses the crowd who came to wish him well at his retirement reception on May 26.

Members of the Uniontown community came to West Bourbon Elementary School on a Sunday afternoon to honor Alan Shinn for 50 years teaching math in the school district.

Uniontown Ruritan facilitated the afternoon events which included awards and speakers from the 50-year tenure of Shinn. There was also a reception prior to the ceremony.

Kids Eat Free Lunch at Keyhole This Summer: New Food Options

Leave a comment

Meals funded by the United State Dept. of Agriculture will be served from noon to 1 p.m. starting May 28 at the Keyhole Youth Activity Center, 1002 S. Main. The program runs Mondays through Fridays and ends July 26.

“Congress controls money through the program for child nutrition,”  Debbie Kreutzman, Kansas Food Bank Community Relations Manager, said. Kansas Food Bank provides the meals.

The meals are sack lunches are provided for those under 18 years of age.

In May 2018, volunteer servers Diana Spencer and Joyce Gobl helped serve the free sack lunches at the Keyhole.

“Kids will come in, check in, no need to give names, and then pick up a lunch of shelf-stable meals,” Kreutzman said.

 

“It is open to all kids, regardless of income and regardless of whether they live in Fort Scott,” Kreutzman said. “For example, if visiting a grandparent from New Mexico, say, they can come and eat.”

A look at what is inside the free sack lunch from May 2018. This year chocolate milk will be offered and an additional grain item.

 

Nutritional Requirements

“This provides an alternative where kids have an option to get a meal,” she said.

All meals served will have the following nutritional requirements met:

2 ounces of meat or meat alternative

A whole grain -bread, crackers, etc.

2 serves of fruit and/or vegetable

8 ounces of milk

Fresh fruits donations are being sought for the summer free food program.

Options Added To Give Children What They Like Best

“We have set meals served throughout the summer,” Kreutzman said. “In the past, we have had 30 sites across the state.”

After reviewing the past four years of serving the shelf-stable meals, Kreutzman said it was noted that children liked being offered an extra grain to their meal and preferred chocolate milk.

So those are being added to the meal options.

Community Organizations Asked To Provide Fresh Fruit

“I talked to Judy Hood (the Keyhole Site Manager) about community organizations providing fresh fruit or granola bars or fruit juice,” Kreutzman said. “There is a possibility of having fresh fruit: bananas, Cutie oranges, apples. We have to think in terms of what kids can pick up and eat. Cutting fruits or vegetables requires cutting and sanitation which requires a commercial kitchen.”

To donate contact Hood or call the Keyhole Youth Activity Center at 620-223-4700.

“Some sites across the state, Farmers Markets donate fresh fruits and vegetables to send home with kids,” Kreutzman said.

Next week chicken salad in a can, cheddar cheese sticks, applesauce, Gold Fish crackers, pretzels, fruit and grain bar, a box of juice and chocolate milk will be offered on Tuesday, the first day, Kreutzman said.

 

Children of all ages came to the Keyhole  for the free sack lunch. Photo from May 2018.

USD 235, Uniontown, will also be offering a children’s summer food program. That school district will utilize its’ facility and offer cafeteria style food. That program starts June 3 and will be featured next week in fortscott.biz.

New Uniontown Math Teacher: Mike Durnell

Leave a comment
Mike Durnell. Submitted photo.
 Mike Durnell, 51, will be teaching mathematics at Uniontown Middle School (grades 7-9) for the next school year.
In the vacancy that 50-year math teacher Alan Shinn left, the subjects are being reassigned to two current math teachers and then Durnell was hired as a new math teacher to take the junior high classes, USD 235 Superintendent Bret Howard said.
“I have been a Missouri educator for 28 years,” Durnell said.  “In my career, I have taught math at the middle school  and high school level.”
He and his wife, Suzan have been married 28 years.
“We have been at El Dorado Springs (Missouri) for the last 19 years,” he said. ” I taught 8th-grade math for 14 years before becoming the activities director for the last five.”

” I retired after 28 years but really wanted to get back into the classroom,” Durnell said. “If I stay in Missouri, I am limited to part-time ( 550 hours) or going to a private school. Teaching in Kansas allows me to teach full time. It is a financial decision.”

 

“Suzan has another two or three years before she can retire,” he said. “I plan on commuting until she retires. It will be a longer drive than my current 10-minute commute, but that has spoiled me.”

 

Suzan is the elementary librarian for El Dorado Springs.

 

Durnell earned his bachelors degree from College of the Ozarks, his masters in educational administration from Missouri State University, and his specialist in educational administration from William Woods University.
His hometown is Moundville, Missouri and he attended Bronaugh schools. 
 
In his spare time, he enjoys hunting and fishing, he said.
How did you become an educator?
“I was fortunate enough to have some great teachers and had a positive experience with school. I decided I wanted to be a part of that. I found that I love working with students and helping them understand difficult concepts.”
Is there someone who inspired you to teach?
“Coach Randy Roberston, my high school coach, and teacher under whom I student taught.”
What is the best part of teaching for you?
“I like interacting with the students and realizing that I have the ability to make a difference in their lives just like Coach Robertson did in mine.”
What are the greatest challenges in teaching for you?
“It can be frustrating when you have students who are not working up to their potential abilities. However, I love a good challenge in teaching.”

The Durnells have two daughters:

Jenna Vickers and her husband, Quade, live in Springfield, Missouri. Jenna is an accountant and Quade is an emergency room nurse, he said.

Tessa is finishing her Junior year at Ft. Hays State University and is a speech pathology major. “She runs track and cross country for the FHSU Tigers,” Durnell said.
