Fort Hays State University’s College of Health and Behavioral Sciences in conjunction with the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders will host Matthew Schindler to share his story about Parkinson’s disease at 3 p.m., Monday, April 8, in the Memorial Union’s Stouffer Lounge.
Matthew Schindler is riding his bike around Kansas speaking about the importance of exercise and how it has changed his life. The Dale Schindler Memorial Bike Ride for Parkinson’s Awareness is named after his father.
Dale Schindler was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at a very early age and had no access to a support group. Matthew was diagnosed with young onset familial Parkinson’s disease in 2002. He will talk about why this diagnosis does not have to be a death sentence.
April is also Parkinson’s Awareness month.
Admission is free, and light refreshments will be provided.

Every year since 1881, the Bethany Oratorio Society has performed Handel’s masterpiece Messiah. The work is perhaps the most popularly performed choral/orchestral masterpiece in history but is often only heard in an abridged version during the Christmas season. The Bethany Oratorio Society performs the work each Holy Week in its full version with professional soloists, a semi-professional orchestra, and a 250-300 member chorus of well-experience volunteers, some of whom have sung 50 years or more.

HUTCHINSON — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas felon on new charges after chase and arrest.
Just after 10p.m. Wednesday 48-year-old Dale Robinson was captured in the 300 block of East 7th Street in Hutchinson and was arrested on requested charges of felony interference and domestic battery, according to police.
Robinson had a backpack with him at the time of his arrest. A search of that bag led to the discovery of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
Officers then discovered Robinson had a warrant for failing to appear in another case where he is charged with interference.
He also has other felony convictions for drugs and theft out of Pawnee and Edwards counties.
His bond was set at $7,500. Robinson will be back in court April 11.
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A 20-year-old Kansas man has been sentenced to life in prison for the shooting death of a man during a marijuana deal.
Mark Holley III was convicted in January of first-degree murder and six other charges in the April 2017 shooting death of 18-year-old D’Shaun Smith.
Holley will be eligible for parole after 25 years. District Judge Stephen Ternes added more than 10 years to be served after Holley completes the life sentence.
Investigators believe Smith and a woman met Holley to buy marijuana. Instead, Holley tried to rob them and shot Smith, who died in his car.

HAYS, Kan.-Defense was the name of the game on Thursday afternoon as Hays High and Liberal tangled in the second Western Athletic Conference matchup of the week for the Lady Indians. Hays had the ball on the Liberal half of the field for a majority of the first half but could not get a goal. Liberal mounted few offensive attacks and the game went to the half tied at 0-0.
The second half was much of the same as the two defenses would not allow a goal. After regulation the two teams play two 10 minute overtime periods and the game ended in a 0-0 draw.
Hays is now 4-1-1 overall and 1-0-1 in league play. They will host Junction City on Monday at 4pm.
HAYS, Kan. – The TMP-Marian softball team was held to three runs and nine hits and were swept by Garden City 11-1 and 12-2 Thursday at the TMP Field.
Kyleigh Allen pitched both games striking out eight and walking three in the opener. She struck out five with two walks in game two.
Emilee Augustine doubled and Allen tripled in game one for two of TMP’s three hits in the first contest. Emilee Schulte had two singles in the second game and Sophia Coulter doubled.
The Monarchs fall to 3-5.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas woman convicted of killing a 52-year-old man has filed a civil case claiming her attorney was ineffective during her trial, including not arguing for a battered woman defense.
An attorney for 24-year-old Sarah Gonzales-McLinn says the post-conviction relief case is not about whether she is guilty but about her trial attorney’s effectiveness.
Gonzales-McLinn, a Topeka native, was convicted in January 2014 of drugging and nearly beheading Harold Sasko at a home they shared in Lawrence. She was sentenced to 50 years with no chance of parole.
The motion alleges Gonzales-McLinn killed Sasko after he kept her in sexual and financial slavery for more than a year.
The motion could result in a 25-year sentence, a new sentencing hearing, a new trial or dismissal.
