- Several Baldwin High School basketball players took the court this week … against their teammates.
On Monday, the annual Baker University summer basketball league began. BHS entered three girls’ and two boys’ teams in the league. On Monday and Tuesday, the Bulldogs’ teams played each other to begin the summer league.
The BHS girls’ upperclassman teams squared off Monday night. Then the two boys’ teams faced each other the following night.
“It was fun,” senior-to-be Drew Berg said of playing the younger BHS boys’ team Tuesday. “I kind of wish we would have played someone else, because we play them all of the time in practice. But, it was fun.”

- Thomas the Tank Engine has once again left Baldwin City, but not before lighting up thousands of children’s faces.
The last train arrived at the Midland Depot Sunday afternoon. It was the final trip for Thomas this summer in Baldwin. His two-week stint is up here.
Thousands of families visited Thomas from around the country. Some even came back to see him a second straight year. Raymond Wilhite and his son Nathaniel, 4-years-old, came from Richmond, Mo., to see Thomas again.
“He loves Thomas,” Wilhite said of his son. “We’re trying to make it an annual event because his birthday is on May 22. So, we come here after his birthday.”
