SALINA SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL Vice principal recovering from crash injuries By the Salina Journal Salina South High School is keeping staff and students updated on the condition of vice principal George Troutfetter, who on Monday was hospitalized in Wichita following a Sunday morning car wreck east of Salina.

As of Monday evening, he was in fair condition at Via Christi-St. Francis in Wichita. "We're updating everybody through the staff as it goes along," said principal Myron Graber.

Marcia Troutfetter was wearing a seat belt and wasn't seriously injured. George Troutfetter, who wasn't wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle. George Troutfetter wastak- en to Salina Regional Health Center before being trans- feri-ed to the Wichita hospital. Graber said he had thought Troutfetter might be coming home Monday As of Monday afternoon, it was expected that he might be home today The school does have a crisis plan for helping students deal with the death of a student or faculty member, but that wasn't used in this case, Graber said.

"We didn't go into full crisis mode like we might have if it was life-threatening," Graber said. "Of course, students are always free to talk to a counselor. "He's going to miss a little school, but he's going to er," he said. "Anytime you're thrown out of a car and do OK, you're lucky" i-jQ)T)TjE MONDAY'S DRAWWaS DAILY PICK 3 3-6-0 2 BY 2 Red: 13-16 White: 4-8 SUPER CASH 13-18-21-22-28 Super Cashball 10 Estimated jackpot: $100,000 Ancient bone MIKE HUTMACHER The Wichita Eagle Kat Rush shows a Columbian Period mammoth bone IVIonday near her rural Cheney home.
