001Lor a Harris Gillan here Chris Hansen here Cassandra Myers here AC Molina here Scott St here Mar Whitney here L gar herei to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all doesn't appear to be anybody to for open Forum we'll move on to approval of the agenda there's no board member changes a with motion second Marlin second all those in favor say I I opposed motion carries uh we move on to number six the consent calendar uh the minutes from the the regular meeting and the special meetings are all in the packet and then there's the bills they have any questions I did just because it stuck out to me what um what's the Su Suicide Prevention

002materials um it's a program we've been working with um uh with Josh tangue and um we're going to have a meeting with him and look to do some implementation it's it's just going to enhance our social emotional curriculum that was it okay yeah all right nothing else we'll move on to transfers okay I'd like to make a request from L to special education 85,000 and from lob to bed 25,000 Might Recall we didn't do any transfers last month just because we just switched over our system so this will get us back where we need to be [Laughter] not to mention ours all of our stuff wasn't in the new system yet so I'll make that motion thanks Marlene second I'll second a all those in favor say I I opposed motion carries uh Communications I

003have anything okay we'll move on to board reports our reports I mean uh Smokey Hill I don't think there was a lot new last month I'm trying I was just reading trying to uh yeah I don't think there's anything major that happened just regular business some new hire credit cards and that kind of stuff so for travel and we cville hosted the AI in education yeah um with Andrew Easton and the Philipsburg crew um came over so they brought probably about 60 people and then there were representatives from Northern Valley and Osborne and um some of the local colleges so we had a really nice turnout it was a great day and and so Chris and I were uh Chris monog and I were really happy with the turnout and how how all of that

004went because it was presentation in the morning and then kind of a hands-on experience in the afternoon I forgot that it was I forgot it happened after our board meeting but because we had all those special meetings but it was a really good I did attend for the morning session and it was it was really interesting and I got a lot of a lot of the teachers that were there said it was one of the best PD days they've been to and definitely the best that we posted here they thought it was really great so yeah a lot of really good information I think we served close to 150 maybe not quite that many for lunch and it went smooth and we had snacks that afternoon and so it was really good content was really

005good and then on the next one at Smokey Hill that um annual superintendent Retreat that was in booy and Tipton um both Mr Reinhardt and I attended that and um it was it was really good it was a a smaller group maybe 25 superintendent and um I had asked Chris melog if I could bring Chris Reinhard as an aspiring Superintendent at that time and uh so it was really nice um the the content in the morning um was ranged from motivation to you know what are you doing with Kissa I mean things like that and then there were some presentations by vendors and then we we would do like a like a vendor walk where we would have so many minutes at each table so we really got to talk in depth with them about

006what their offering and the reason they're there is they're paying for it so it didn't cost our district anything it was just a a two days but it was really good the the tipon part of it that's where we stay and it has a this ring neck Ranch is just it's really nice and um then several of them went hunting the next morning and I didn't go but allowed me some time to just you know do some reading and reflecting and it was it it's beautiful out there so but smoking help puts that on so I just wanted to mention that that it was really nice all right we move on to special ed call um we have the minutes in front of you I wasn't at that meeting because I wasn't the meeting here

007interviewing of our applicants for the superintendent job but um they're in there and U looked like there was quite a bit actually going on so all right any other board education member reports I I don't really I guess have a report but I don't know if this is the time to um I guess suggest or ask something um like this Wednesday in Stockton they're playing that um it's kind of like a documentary about a high school girl who tried to commit suicide um just kind of to raise awareness for something like that and I didn't know like if there would be something the school could do um we're taking our church kids over to see it in Stockton it's a free showing but um I know there's been talk with people about bringing something like

008that or that specifically to schools um and it being a really important um and apparently life-changing documentary of a you know a cheerleader trying to commit suicide and then thankfully failing in that um or I guess succeeding to live um but I just think that that's something that maybe our school and the kids and staff and everybody could benefit from I don't know if we could look into something like that is it an evening um this Wednesday yeah it is but um we could reach out to the people who are behind it and maybe bring it to like showing and the I don't know maybe the auditorium or do you know is it connected with their school is a school like do no no they played it in the Palco theater I think they just

009had requested to bring the documentary there and then um it's being played and stocked in at the Nova theater okay for free on Wednesday evening and but there's supposed like really really great um like lifechanging that has come from viewing it and seeing it so yeah we'll check into it thank you yeah that is all thank you all right and principal reports um the one thing I want to uh point out for Mr Han is the um well it says State Testing dates cut document you have that no okay all right um he just wanted to do a a quick reminder that so junior high will be when we're doing our canas assessments junior high will be um normal school taking their cansas assessments within the class um but then like we did last year

010um they have it during a set time in the uh wrestling room with the table set up with the kids have to go in in there so uh it may be that you know some of the high school kids don't have to show up until 9: or they might be done you know something like that just it's the same thing we did last year but I told him we just needed to remind you of that and I'm not seeing the attached document but I'll send it to you in a note any questions on those reports if not we'll move on to superintendent report okay um well as you're aware I returned from the the National Conference in New Orleans uh we got in about quarter till one last night um so lots of coffee coffee

011and caffeine today but I'm doing good um it was an amazing conference um I just en I enjoyed it immensely um there were over 5,800 people that attended this conference um from across the nation and what was so uh comforting was that you could talk to anyone from any state and your and the goal is the same you're talking about kids you're talking about what we can we do in their best interest um there really wasn't a lot of political talk which I was thankful for because I didn't know what that would look like at a national level um we got we the opening ceremony we got to see the um superintendents of the Year walk across the stage and you know kind of reminded me of a Miss America show where you know they

012they call their name and they come out and as i' mentioned to you R Renee nett she's the superintendent aers she was the one that was selected this year so it was fun to there's over 5,000 people in this Auditorium and you know just to see that happen that was really cool and then and there was a group called save the music that put had went around and had these videos of kids singing it gives me goosebumps to talk about it because it was just um unbelievable you know how how good and these kids are with music and it made me think about our own little District here and how good our kids are and how involved we are in music and there was some talk after that you know like are is your state

013having any conversations about getting rid of Fine Arts or you know anything like that and and uh we're not and you know and I just said that our district you know we went through a time where they cut the CTE funding for you might remember that 10 years ago and um you know we made a decision that those things are important to our kids we're going to figure out how to do that how do we continue our program so through all those times we we've saved our Fine Arts we' have saved our CTE programs I mean those are the things that are so important and so anyway the conference was amazing I thank you so much for letting me go our presentation went really well um we were like the last section on Saturday morning

014right before the final keynote speaker and like the big get togethers were all Friday night so we were all kind of thinking well maybe nobody will even show up but we ended up with a nice room full of people and our presentation was on mentoring so I talked about um being a mentor for principles and then being a mentee when I took over the superintendency and worked through the Kelly program and then now as I serve as a Kelly Mentor for new superintendents and um people you know from all across the nation were asking questions and telling us what it looks like in their their states and and so it was it was really good so we were we were pleased even though on a Saturday morning we still had a good turnout so thank

015you again for allowing me to attend that um in your packet maybe not nope I think we decided not to copy it I'm going to send a couple things around I'm going to start with you Harrison so I I went ahead and copy this is just what I gave you last month and so this is just the the United um suggestion United Sports systems I think that's the name of it um on our track and then um Harris and I had talked again about um or Harrison had mentioned you know that Mammoth was also interested in so what I passed around to Harrison first is just what we looked at last month and then this one I just got this today otherwise I would have thrown it in a power pointer I would have asked

016Mr Reinhardt to do that for me but um this is just another idea I'm not sold on this one um the concept right now because you'll see that they're suggesting that we put the jav one here which is where we drive in you know so I worry a little bit about that and then it overlaps with the uh discus ring so we could put a discus ring here but it would only be one you could not run these two field events simultaneously um and it's just a start but then on the second page you can see some rough numbers of what it would be like on a base price and then if we if we added you know some C certain things so I just thought I'll send these around you can glance them during

017the board meeting um and then I'll I'll talk a little bit more about this in a minute so that's our track update that's where we are so far and then I have a quote here from Thomas because last month we also talked about buses and so this one is for that passenger I don't know if they call it a van or what they call it but um this just kind of shows you like what we would be looking at and um so I basically I just need some direction and you we can think about it and then next month you know you can you can tell me and I can I can get on it because neither of these things are pressing like they have to be done right now but just wanted to show

018some follow-up information that we talked about on that and then um as you're perusing that information um so I put together um just kind of a list of things that I know I want to work on before I leave um the district and number one on my list is hiring so I and we'll talk about that more during um our session when we talk about Personnel but um just right now as things are um moving we're kind of having some domino effect on some different things of of things that we need to fill so that's kind of my number one and then right now I have seven active grants and so right before the meeting I grabbed Dawn and and I I want to go through the grants that have been closed out make sure

019that the money's in the receipts are all available um I showed Don where I'm going to put them in my office and then I'll show Mr Reinhardt as well but then that way it is it's organized should any of those grants ever be audited or whatever but like I said right now I have um seven active grants um so I share with you the the track and the vehicle just a little bit of that we still need to do more research on the vehicles and then decide what we want to do but the other thing I want um to make sure that you know is on my radar is the roofs so we'll continue to um work with those vendors I don't have anything for you because our uh insurance agent came out last week

020and then there was rain or there was snow on the roofs he drove in from witch TOS spent the night in Haze on that night that all the snow came in he went ahead and drove up here and said he tried to and he said I can't see anything we said I got to come back so it's in the process we're still working on it but just wanted to mention that to you as well if you could find me an elevator person that would be great I need an elevator vendor um I talked to my colleagues and yeah we're kind of running into a dead end on that but I'll keep working on that and then of course I'll continue working on The Branding with a new logo I'm going to work with one of

021my uh superintendent advisory kiddos on that and then I have some art mural projects that I'm going to just visit with Mr Reinhard about but anyway just kind of wanted to give you a heads up where where everything is and we'll keep we'll keep working on it the one thing on the track going back to that one I looked at it because I wasn't at the last meeting okay but this property over here all the way the street did you guys talk about that yeah okay that he has it wrong yeah yeah cuz that ain't going to work work I know I liked how he put it on there yeah so just wanted to okay look like well unless we buy more property that Ain going to work so okay yeah so we're still kind

022of in the Gathering of information stages yeah yeah I I was disappointed that like with the layouts I was really hoping somebody would come back with something like yeah you know what I mean like yeah just the way just the way these look now they're not feasible right I mean it's just that's how I feel like it's not not a good it's not you know we're better off just leaving you know just redoing what we have yeah fixing the stuff that we've got up there and then maybe figuring out you know maybe put a runway in for this and like for the javelin or something you know get a few of those just the blank copies of aerial maps somebody like Scott who's been in the track deal and has the track mind I don't

023and I didn't do track so you guys could draw it up how you want because I because I talked to TJ a little bit about it the other or TJ talked to me about it the other day and um uh cuz he has some ideas uh but I was hoping that they would have like you know these plug-and-play templates where they had shotput they had like three different shotput configurations that they could just put on the map and it would be to scale yeah and it's like this because understanding how much safety area you need is the is the part that I don't well see and that's what when you got these two like on this one you had the two discus going towards the same way well you have you know we've had years

024we had have big throwers in our league right you know you're going to have to stop an event to do an event and it's it's kind of what Norton runs into when we do a track meet up there when they're trying to use their two rings well one of the Rings can't even go until that ring go and it's it's a mess yeah so like I said The more I was looking at this as I was processing it like for sure the discus were just better off leaving it redoing you know getting good cages just doing something along those lines the shot put I'm still all about redoing that cuz I don't like even this model here and I know you guys don't have it in front of you you're still looking at each other

025when you're throwing to where if we could turn that to going opposite directions you know and then the rest of it may just have to like the pull bolt and stuff may just have to stay where it's at but just that's what that's what we we were talking about the shop because I had I've been to to Russell but I couldn't remember it being the way it is cuz TJ said that it would be really nice for practice yeah it works good for events but it'd be really great for practice because you got a big long line where you can have them standing in a line throwing to work on technique and stuff so that's just my my process or thought of process on it is is get the coaches involved talk to them set

026them down say what do we need to do you know get them involved with you know their layout and their design I mean they they're the ones that coach it year and year out you know and they're going have Haven done that yes Scott I no I saying I'm just saying I was just hoping they would come back with something better than that that then we could take to the coaches that's what I was hoping and that that was my ultimate goal but I think after seeing this I think we just need to get a committee yeah with the coaches yeah and and that's what I'm saying I I I this just let's just get what we want and with you know what the with guess TJ and different things like that and see what

027we can do I I think that's going to be going to save us more money in the long run as well as get us how you know get us what we want you know I kind of agree there's not like I said there's you know you're talking well you know what you were talking you know right to have to level out all the land and move all the trees and do everything like that we may be better off just getting nice facil cages and stuff where we need them and you know the cement and stuff and get the uh filling and stuff for the shotput stuff and if we need to redo some of these pads where like the pole bolt is or redo sand and different I mean I think we'd be better off

028just kind of reutilizing what we have but also maybe adjusting some things as we go forward so I think we just need to does the board member want to serve on that committee huh does a board member want to I wonder who yeah I'm just so I don't have a I don't have a problem with it like I said cuz I'm going to utilize them you know and I can I can bring reports and ideas back so I think that's a great idea Don I'll I'll take it and run but like I said just looking at these numbers I know we've got good facilities I know would it be nice to move all that stuff to one yeah it would but at the same time is it worth that much money well we can you

029know really spruce up what we have and I think yeah I think if you guys can just walk it and take a look at what the options are so what if we what if we what if we flip our approach so rather than me bringing you things from I'll take it vendors why don't we come up with what we want and then I'll take it to the vendor right let's do that that'll work okay and we'll I'll start putting together a committee and we'll sit down and and like I said I'll get with that I'll get you know I can get with TJ and I can get with Coach M get with Norma Coach B you know kind of get their you know have them collaborate first kind of give us an idea and then

030I'll get gather information from them and I bring it I don't I don't have a problem with that you know you want to take one of those just I'd be happy to make these copies or do you I've got the one right the the original I just don't have the Y that one I wouldn't have okay and that's what I was looking for it's just some direction where you want to go next well just looking at it Lisa I I just it it it don't make sense I know you know do you want me to try to set up a meeting with those that you no I'll do it on my time I'll work with them I I've got enough enough connection with one to where we can get connected with the other three and

031I'll get it I'll get it lined out but I'll try to get some ideas of what they want to do and then may have someone else draw it up but kind idea we can help with that yeah uh I can have JJ work on it too okay too okay I'll get the ball rolling on that end cuz it's not like we're going to do it right this second but I think if we can get a good plan then we could you know it might even be something we just bite off in chunks like we do discus I know the track where we at I mean has that track all been fixed enough we we're good for this season is that what you mean yeah yeah we've had I've had two people look at it said

032we're good for this season okay oh yeah and we don't have the big cracks where you know that it's a cement underneath cuz we fixed it what was it two years ago that's what I was couldn't remember we did it and it bubbled and then yeah last year they fixed the so we're good to go okay I mean both of them walked in and said yeah you're fine okay okay okay cool uh on the bus the only thing the qu I was trying to remember back to his presentation on because I wonder if there's if we can shop for like a used version of I thought that there was that's why I mean he had he had one at the time but it's probably gone who knows yeah I knew it was going to go

033quick but it was significantly less than that uh and might just be that I don't know yeah cuz it was like 50,000 yeah yeah I was thinking 40 or 50 uh I guess the I guess the question would be if we want more than you know if we want two at 50 if we can find them or if we want to replace a suburban and then do and do one of those or you know I guess that's part of where we're at trying to decide what we want to do for sure fleetwise but we use the Suburbans a lot right um and we have the two red ones and the white one but those two red ones are getting up there in miles right so I mean but I think this would kind of take

034the place of suburban use a little bit right because it would other than like wrestling yeah but when you have a group of teachers that are going somewhere or I think we need to keep a suburb and probably just don't feel comfortable I drove one of these as know and the Suburban just a lot easier to get around in right I think this is great for the like the wrestling team and small groups we need one of these they're economical if I remember didn't Mr BBY say that you didn't need a special yeah you just have to have the the um medical piece of it the CPR and first aid training but you don't have to have the you don't have to have the CDL private school maybe they didn't have to follow the same

035guidelines but you don't have to have the CDL right and so and we can easily um build in that training at the beginning of the year you know for everyone it wouldn't you know it would just it just takes some planning because um with it being a two-year you know your your certificate is good for two years so it's just like you offer it every other year or every year and then you have people jumping in whenever they need it and stuff like that but I think they make sense but definitely we want to keep a Suburban yeah we have the brand new one or notand new we have two or three suburb so we have three we have the white one and then we have the two I think we keep an older suburban

036and a newer one at all times and would be my and I'm thinking your red ons are going to die pretty a cheerleader sponsor she get that exactly Saturday morning no I agree and we have the band too we do for forensics and but but we're stretched pretty thin we are and because we've added sports right we haven't really increased the number of vehicles in our my idea with this though was if we could find something more in like the 50 to $60,000 range that's used with 15,000 miles or something cuz some of the ones that they use that he saw used uh they weren't real high mileage because they were just like a access van or something yeah can you give I mean would you just give that to to our bus Department to

037them go find some used options and they can bring it back to us next month M so and then I would also be I mean we're going to have to replace one of those Suburbans to the one because one of them has like two it's got 200,000 probably need upgrade that okay yep yeah yeah I'll talk to Mr Herby and we'll we'll look for it those all I know is we got to do better than we did on the last bus the big bus I also that's also why I don't want to spend $100,000 on one because you know where it is now oh I can't imagine but I'm just saying same place it always is in the shop we we did bad almost been better off to get an old charter bus and going

038to spend some money on but at the time those charter buses were the ones that were in the shop all the time well but I remember the Bills versus it wasn't that bad you go buy a used one for 80 to 100 Grand and say you got 20,000 or 15,000 a year in maintenance it's better than buying a three or $400,000 brand new one I mean they've kind of moved away from the the coach um Charter and now it's fre that freight liner CH you can't you know like you can't you can still expensive I don't know if you can find use they're so new I don't know if there's any good used ones on the market and I I don't think we can justify spinning what thing the good thing is they hold their

039value really well do they mhm I mean are we thinking we want to look at a new one of those that was a lot mhm I was looking some used ones that had like 100,000 miles and they were still like 350 that's what that's what he was kind of sharing with us wasn't it that the US was 350 and the new one was 360 so the nice so so one option with them because of the the way they retain their value is we could lease one okay uh like Philipsburg they got they bought two of them you just fin at the end and I don't know if they bought them or if they're leasing them but there are lease options and since they hold their value so well it keeps the I mean you know

040you can always Finance at the end of the five relase or whatever just buy it out yeah yeah or or turn it back in and and releas a new one you know if because like I say they really like you're saying I mean even with 100,000 miles they're still pricey so I don't know that's not doing a lot of good where it's been no no no I mean it doesn't do any good and now we're getting ready to pick up in volume again we got track Junior High and high school and speaking of buses and Stu this is off topic but on topic at the same time cuz every time I go home or here I think of it and I forget when I'm here to mention it but why are there two school buses

041parked worked on is it Meridian mhm over by DQ yeah not by DQ it's on like Second Street when I go home Sometimes using second there's two buses parked at a residence of our buses it's um I don't even know who lives there it's the driver why why are our buses parked there like in the weather instead of down with the others I'm just curious cuz I saw one for a long time and now like I always see two there it's probably ease of access in the morning they got to get up and go I'm assuming that's why I have to check on why there's two I'm not sure I have that I did see one for a long time but yeah for a while exp I what is going on with this well and

042that goes back to like the number of vehicles we have like there's no there isn't The Bus Barn's full without without those let me bu but yeah we can look into why they're yeah I'm just curious I'm like what is going on okay yeah sorry not to get too all right I think that's all of those topics you're keeping me busy I got we're just add to that list and I guess I guess the I guess the other thing Harrison on the coaches is the guy the the gentleman that we talked to at the convention in witto he'll come out he'll bring one out and he'll bring those different financing options just so that we can see I think we got to look at it for sure what's there I was just wondering if you

043find an older Charter for 100 SP 20 year where does the economics look like comparison yeah I don't I'm not sure and he'll actually bring a bus yeah we'll sit it and that we can and then you we you can also talk about options and things like that yeah they can to different seat configurations it's limited for I mean if we afford it by all means I just that seems like a lot of money yeah no it is I think but it's also inv right now right now we spend a lot of money on a bus too do we Ian so that's not warranty that de's not like a fiveyear how much have we spent on that engine it's a a issue right isn't a DF issue yeah regenerate every time yeah it gets I

044think it gets stuck in regen the sensor yeah I think it gets stuck in my mind I mean somebody it's blue it's Bluebird I mean it's like they have how many of them do they have on the road I mean but it should just be a generic it's got to be you know just a I mean it's a diesel motor of some that's what I'm saying somebody makes it not Bluebird right huh I guess we'll see if they'll come do a presentation okay all right there's nothing else i' look for a motion to approve the reports thanks second second thanks Cassie all those in favor say I I motion carries all right discussion of C for 2526 okay um so this is is just a draft of um our calendar for next school year um

045there are only uh two changes on the one in front of you the one is um if you'll go to February so February 9th um this year that day was actually the 11th which was the 12th but it was that Wednesday due to us hosting the FCCLA um star events and as you're aware we had a snow day so we didn't do it then and we didn't do it on the 18th but um anyway we tried to be proactive and plan that anyway so I just moved that date back to that Monday which is what um was the year prior and then if you look at o or excuse me November with me really quick um for a couple of years we've we've we've not had school on November 1st and um so with November

0461st being a Saturday that gave me a day to play with so I went ahead and put it on February 27th um which would be that state wrestling day that we have always had um we didn't H we have not had it for the last couple of years um and I since I had the day I went ahead and put it on there so those are really the only two changes everything else is is the exact same um I did share this with the with the calendar committee um very minor uh recommendation was that we rather than getting out of school on the 8th being our last day their recommendation would be to uh go ahead and have school on the 19th um because we'll still have school activities going on and that made a

047lot of sense to me and then the work day uh it would just push the work day you know push the calendar so then on January we could just put that work day on the 5th because it honestly it really doesn't matter since it's a flex day but I think it would make more sense to parents if they saw it on you know the 5th but so if we push and we go to school one more day in December then we would would start one day later in January and we could start school on the 6th okay wait de on December what day are okay so on what I gave you it says that our last day would be the 18th but instead we'd go ahead and have school on the 19th so the 19th

048would be our last day so then we need to put that work day because it's going to it's going to push the calendar one day if you will and so then we could just put the work day on the 5th and then resum school on the 6th it's it'd be the same exact amount of of days um no matter how we do it if we leave it the way I had it originally if we push it one day which like I said makes a lot of sense to me especially since we have those activities on the 19th it just makes sense to stay in school and then come back on the 6th and then so so what this does is it it includes your um what your negotiate agreement says which is 160 seven student

049contact days nine in Services which is a collaboration of full day in services or half day or hour or you know the early release it includes your four work days and so therefore your your total is the 176 what you get credit for 167 for student contact nine in service days which is 176 uh days in your in our contract so if I mean if you have and and I also of course avoided um Fair week I hope cuz I had a sticky note that said it supposed to be the fourth that that we get the AUG score this was probably the easiest calendar I ever put together you know sometimes where Christmas falls on a you know then it just kind of makes things you're trying to figure out well do we get out

050what seems early or do we get out what seems late but and then with us not having um you know it's not a leap year I mean every it was just really kind of the easiest one I've ever put together and very little feedback from the teachers but that doesn't mean that they might not come and I didn't get it to them um you know or we we haven't had a committee meeting um but I will definitely meet with them before and I'll bring it back to you and if you have any suggestions that you know I I'll bring it back to you for approval next month I don't know I'm just thinking on the we're in February where we have the two Mondays off at the same time uh is there is there somewhere

051else that that 9th like might be a a more enjoyed break for the teacher somewhere else or would that still be a good time for it well let's just call a spade a spade that is Super Bowl Monday oh good for you which is what they put there before so that's why it's there okay we move move State wrestling to football our Super Bowl Monday when we did away with the Friday for State wrestling we moved it to Super Bowl Monday instead so Halloween saves the day then did yeah the following year I'm not sure how we're going to make everybody happy there'll be an elementary battle and a high school battle over the definitely with girls and boys together State wrestling is I think it's I think oh I was so happy when they

052did that and I did look at their five-year calendar and on Casa and it looks like that's their plan awesome so I just know that if I'm going to go to watch that I need to leave and get there because was extra pack oh my gosh I got so frustrated I didn't even I didn't even go in the parking you couldn't get past the parking I heard it was like clear back I could not I drove around in the parking lot for 25 minutes like all around there and I was like sorry girls cuz and you know I don't know I don't know I didn't know the boys that well but I was like gave an honest effort I did I gave an honest effort and I I missed kayle's match two of them buying
