When the item was found to be drug paraphernalia, the schools resource officer got involved. Powell said that the child had special needs and didn't necessarily know what he was bringing to PHOTOS BY WENDY NUGENT/NEWTON NOW school.

Allan Lister was only with the Wichita Fire De- partment about a month when he was home and heard a noise outside. A loud noise. This was in 1965. Then, he heard on the radio there had been a plane crash, which turned out to be about a mile and a half from his home. “I went outside and looked, and the sky had already turned dark because of the smoke,” Lis- ter said. “I thought, 'OK, gotta go.'” He went, even though it was his day off, and got to the scene by the time the second-alarm machines were there, as he put it.

At the time, our children were 7, 4-1/2 and 2-1/2, so preparations needed to be made well ahead of time for child care that could take over the minute the call came for my husband to rush me to Kansas City. The call came about 9 p.m. one evening. We were home and were off to Kansas City within an hour. Dr. Hyde performed the surgery at the KU Med. Center, where I was hospitalized for five days, lying on my back with my head anchored between sand bags. The center of the cornea was replaced by the donor tissue and stitched in. Weekly trips to Kansas City were required for check- ups and the removal of stitches as they healed sepa- rately. It was six or eight weeks after the surgery before we knew the extent of the success of the transplant. Next, astigmatism in the replaced cornea needed to be corrected by prescription lenses, so it was almost two months before I knew the real results: my vision in the eye with the new cornea tested 20/30! Wow! Miraculous! The prior radiation had not affected the outcome! We lived on E. First Street, a couple of blocks from First and Main. I remember standing out in front of the house and watching, with joy and glee, the changing of the street lights; of looking up to see the tops of trees and birds on branches. We had a typewriter set up in the living room so that I could type notes (I’d taken typing in high school and could operate the keyboard without looking at it) when I couldn’t see well enough to handwrite notes. Here is a letter our older daughter Laura, then 7 and about to enter 3rd grade at McKinley School, sat down at the typewriter and pecked out to Dr. Hyde, the eye surgeon, exactly as she wrote it. I still have the copy of it I made before I mailed it to Dr. Hyde. She thanked the doctor, talked about me being able to watch them play and stand on their heads and apolo- gized for her mistakes and typos. It ended with “Mommy can read To us Now.” A year after the first transplant, the process began all over again for the second eye and the result was even Making a food truck rally no easy task more successful.

BY WENDY NUGENT NEWTON NOW STAFF [email protected]

Savannah Garcia's god- mother Maggie Smet of Newton calls Garcia a freshman phenom. There's a reason for that. The day before the meet last week in Win- field, the Newton High School student learned how to do the triple jump, and the next day, the var- sity athlete took first at the meet. “So she beat sopho- mores, juniors, seniors,” Smet said. That Thursday was the first time she'd ever tried it, Smet said. Her winning triple jump distance was 33 feet, 4 inches, which is the furthest she's ever jumped. During the 2018 Newton High School Track Invitational at Bethel College in North Newton on Monday, she took second with 32 feet, 11 inches. Newton girls took first, and Newton boys, second. Regarding the Winfield meet, she didn't really think she'd come out on top. “I was kinda surprised, and I had never done it before,” she said. Coach Tad Remsberg is happy with her performances. “We are really pleased with Savannah and how she is performing,” he said. “She is working hard and getting better WENDY NUGENT/NEWTON NOW every meet.” Newton High School freshman Savannah Garcia competes in long jump on Monday during the NHS meet in In addition to doing the North Newton. triple jump, Garcia also takes part in the long • Girls shot put—Amanda scores—McPherson, first, jump.

Ruth Nebergall's big brown eyes have seen many things throughout her century of life, from the Great Depression,to the birth of her four daughters to the 24-pound catfish she caught in 1975 at Marion Lake to the smile on her late husband Russell's face. Nebergall, who lived in Hesston for 73 years, is quicker to talk about her late husband than herself, and she had a secret to their long marriage. “Just love who you marry, I guess,” Nebergall said on her birthday, which was Thursday, March 29, as she sat in a recliner at ComfortCare Home in Newton, covered WENDY NUGENT/NEWTON NOW by a warm blanket as peo- Above: Ruth Nebergall, right, talks to longtime friend Mary Herschberger, left, on her 100th birthday. ple she's known during the Above right: These are some of the photos of Nebergall and family throughout her life. years came and went, wishing her a happy birth- houses, and they'd fire up sewing accident that drew were longtime friends Joe day, bringing her flowers, their station wagons for blood. and Mary Hershberger, as cards, cinnamon rolls and service.
