Friendly pharmacist Paul Miller celebrates 100 years

KRISTA WASINGER

Paul Miller, the former “friendly pharmacist” of Miller’s Fountain and Pharmacy, recently cel-ebrated his 100th birthday on Friday, June 26. Paul served as owner and pharmacist of Miller’s

Fountain and Pharmacy from 1954 to 1976.

EARLY LIFEPaul was born on June 26, 1920, in Burlingame,

the only child of Nathan and Zella Miller.Paul’s father drove a truck for Standard Oil.

His mother taught school prior to marriage and later worked for the State Highway Department in Topeka.

“My dad was going to be a farmer. He farmed for my grandfather while my grandfather served two terms as Osage County Treasurer,” Paul said. “There was an accident with a barn burn-ing down and this discouraged my father from farming after that.”

Paul’s father then bought a brand new Model T Touring car, and the family rode in that to California, where they lived for several years. Though he was only 4 or 5 years old at the time of the drive to California, he remembers the Model T had one window on the front with curtains on the side for a windshield. The trip took nine days. The family moved back to Kansas after the Depression.

While living in Richmond, Calif., Paul lived across the street from a future pro-baseball player — Johnny Babich. Babich was drafted by the Major League to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.

“Because of Johnny helping me when I was young, I learned how to play baseball,” Paul said. “I was not experienced, but when I pitched one of my first games, I pitched a no hitter.”

Paul’s first job was as a soda jerk at the lo-cal drugstore in Burlingame, where he made 10 cents an hour.

In 1937, Paul and his cousin hitchhiked from Topeka through Texas, on to California and back. They rode on freight trains and slept in the box cars.

On this trip, Paul recalls a time when he stood up for something he really believed in.

“While riding a city bus in Dallas, Texas in the late ‘30s, there was a removable sign that said, ‘All colored people sit behind this sign,’” Paul

KANSAS SAMPLER FOUNDATION

Big Kansas Road Trip rescheduled

SUBMITTED BY GINA MURCHISON

The Big Kansas Road Trip (BKRT) that was to take place in Brown, Doniphan and Nemaha Counties in September has been rescheduled for May 6-9, 2021.

The Kansas Sampler Foundation of Inman made the announce-ment after a meeting with local leaders.

“Everyone on the call was able to express their opinions,” said Marci Penner, Foundation Director. “We were all sad about pushing the event to May, but we unanimously felt like it was the right thing to do for the communities, the public and the success of the event.”

Originally scheduled for early May 2020, the BKRT was post-poned until September due to COVID-19.

“We’ve had to reschedule twice now and that is hard on every-one concerned. We fully intend to hold the event next May, in some fashion, no matter what,” Penner said. “The people, busi-nesses, attractions and scenery in these three counties deserve the best event possible. We will do everything possible to help make that happen next May.”

The BKRT is a project of the Inman-based Kansas Sampler Foundation and operates like an open-house. The communities in the three counties are asked to simply be good at being them-selves. The public is then invited to roam at their own pace to eat, buy, explore and visit

NEMAHA COUNTY FAIR

‘COVID Craziness’ – new fair theme for 2020?

SUBMITTED BY DEBRA HENRY

While “COVID Craziness” is not the theme for this year’s fair, it certainly has been the environ-ment this spring and early summer! The good news is that the 2020 Nemaha County Fair will take place July 23-27. It just looks a bit different than it has in past years with social distancing and attention given to the health and safety of all participants. The actual theme is “Home Grown 4-H Fun.”

4-H judging events will be held with more lim-ited numbers of people involved, but the hard work of the 4-H members will be on display to the public in the Community Building from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Monday, and noon to 8 p.m. Sunday.

The 4-H Council concession stand will have a very limited menu and no seating options this year. There will be no food sale of 4-H baked goods this year. Most of the livestock will be shown and return home the same day, with lim-ited animals remaining in the barns. In an effort to help reduce crowd size and let individuals enjoy 4-H fair events from the comfort of their homes, live streaming and other digital showcasing op-portunities are being explored. Details will be shared later.

The Nemaha County Fair Board decided to eliminate all Open Class divisions for 2020. How-ever, a full lineup of public activities is scheduled to take place. Here’s the quick rundown of the schedule.

Thursday, July 23: Activities kick off the public portion of the fair, with the 4-H Horse Show at 5:30 p.m. at the Horse Arena.

Friday, July 24: All 4-H exhibits will be in place and final judging of exhibits wrapped up. The Dairy Show will begin at 10 a.m. and Hog Show will begin at 6 p.m. Entertainment will be Mutton Bustin’ starting at 7:30 p.m. and Kraft Rodeo at 8 p.m. at the Horse Arena. You can enjoy the Red Dirt Rendezvous Band from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

Saturday, July 25: Events include the Sheep Show at 10 a.m., immediately followed by the Goat Show. The Beef show will start at 5 p.m. in the show arena. Food trucks will be available from 4 to 9 p.m. Saturday night entertainment will include Mutton Bustin’ at 7:30 p.m. and Kraft Rodeo at 8 p.m. at the Horse Arena. Koch & Co is sponsoring the band Skallywags at Skoch Park from 8 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

Sunday, July 26: Events include the 4-H Fash-ion Revue at the Community Building beginning at 1:30 p.m. Throughout the day, there will be food trucks available. A new feature will be Putt-Putt Miniature Golf from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the fairgrounds. The annual parade is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. on Main Street. Team Penning will begin at 8 p.m. at the Horse Arena.

Monday, July 27: The fair concludes on Mon-day with Bucket Calf judging at 11 a.m. and Pre-mium Auction at 6 p.m. with Decorated Cakes, Bread Baskets and Cookie Containers.

The Livestock Auction will begin no sooner than 7 p.m.

Matthew AyoMatthew Ayo, 24, died in a motorcycle

accident at 12:30 a.m. Monday, June 29. He died instantly and his family is deeply grieving this sudden loss.

Matt was born on Feb. 13, 1996, in Fair-field, Calif. He lived in the Virginia City, Nev. Highlands until age 6. From age 6, he lived in Reno, Nev., and graduated from McQueen High School in 2014. As a child and young adult, he was involved in mul-tiple sports including baseball, martial arts, BMX racing and football. He worked as a key holder at Reef Dispensaries for the past two years, with a plan to start a lettuce hydroponic farm locally.

Matt was incredibly kind. He was an amazing father, who was raising an amazing daughter. She was the love of his life, and of his parents. Animals loved him, and he loved animals. He was a gardener extraordinaire and very passionate about all plants. He loved his family deeply, and, in return, asked for nothing but acceptance. Matt will be missed always, and he appreciated very much the friendship and love that everyone brought to his life.

Matt is survived by his daughter, Evelyn Ayo; parents, Mary and Mark Ayo; mother, Traece Avila; grandfather Gerald Ayo; grand-mother, Connie Moran; and many uncles, aunts, and cousins. Mary Williams Ayo is the daughter of the late Donald and Bernice Williams of Sabetha.

In honor of Matt, the family asks that you be sure to live all the moments of your life with the awareness of the gifts they are; and be accepting of those who are different from you.

Contributions in Matt’s honor can be made for his daughter’s edu-cation through a fundraiser at https://www.gofundme.com/f/evelyn-ayo-lost-father-in-motorcycle-accident.

said. “My cousin and I moved the sign up front as we got off.”

SCHOOLINGPaul started school in Rich-

mond, Calif. He graduated from Burlingame High School in Bur-lingame, Kan. While in high school, Paul played clarinet in the band. He remembers playing in a parade in Topeka for Gov-ernor Alfred Landon, when he announced he was running for President of the United States.

Paul was enrolled at Baker Uni-versity on a track scholarship.

“I ran short distances, the half mile in 2 minutes and 5 seconds,” Paul said. “I was enrolled, but the Army came first. I was drafted into the Army Air Force.”

ADULT LIFE & MILITARY SERVICE

Paul married Helen Brackney before he was drafted into the Army Air Force. They had two children.

Paul completed his basic train-ing in Texas. After basic training, he was sent to the Philippines in the Pacific. He served from 1942 to 1946.

“We rode the troop ship for 30 days and had to continually change course to avoid mines,” he said. “I worked on instrument panels of the B-17 bombers as an airplane mechanic.”

Following his service, he re-ceived his pharmaceutical degree from the University of Southern California, through the GI Bill. Paul worked as a pharmacist for 50 years.

Helen stayed at home to raise the children, and then later helped to run the drug store in Sabetha.

The couple was very involved in playing cards and dancing. They enjoyed square dancing, fox trot, waltz and two-step. Helen passed away in 1987.

PHARMACYPaul became owner of the

Fountain Drug Store when Rob-

ert Fountain wanted to retire in 1954. The store was remodeled and renamed.

Paul’s children — Karla and Doug — remember Miller’s Fountain and Pharmacy had a soda fountain and jukebox, with several booths in the back.

“High school kids would hang out after school and the commu-nity would pack the place on Sat-urday nights,” Karla said. “Songs were 5 cents on the jukebox, the same price as a Coke.”

The Sabetha High School Var-sity players could come in to the drugstore for a free milkshake or malt after a win.

During his time as a Sabetha pharmacist, Paul concocted a hand lotion that farmers would use on dairy cattle that was like Cornhuskers lotion. It included glycerin and rose water.

“He would help out customers in need by mailing them their pre-scriptions free of charge,” Doug said.

RAISING A FAMILYPaul coached little league base-

ball in Sabetha when Doug was in school.

“It was Pony League, I think,” Paul said. “I pretty much coached Doug until he graduated. My neighbor in California taught me a lot about baseball when I was growing up. He taught me how to pitch. My son came to be quite a baseball player, too.”

Paul’s advice for parents today is, “don’t overcoach them.”

“Let them do what they want to do, because they are young. If you like recreation, stick to it. If you’re adept,” Paul said.

LATER YEARSAfter retirement, he moved to

Texas and later moved back to Sabetha, where he now resides at the Apostolic Christian Home. Paul has two children — Karla Epple of Sabetha and Jan Doug-las “Doug” of Horseshoe Bay, Texas. He has six grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.

The incredible shrinking interest rate

It is no secret. Interest rates have shrunk to microscopic levels. Anyone with excess

cash or conservative investments are feeling the struggle to find yield.

Rates have been low before. But not like this.

Professor Robert Shiller tracks stock market valuations and 10-year government interest rates every month. His data set goes back to the year 1871. If you rank his interest rate recordings from lowest to highest and look at the 10 months with the lowest inter-est rates, five of the 10 are from the year 2020. The top four lowest recordings in history are all from months in 2020. And the year is only halfway over.

Rates are at rock-bottom.In Europe and around the

globe, rates have turned negative. Think about that. Instead of the bank paying you interest on your savings, you pay the bank for the pleasure of holding your money.

Don’t blame your bank, though. It is only working with what it has been given. The Federal Reserve is where it all starts. That institution sets the pace for the U.S. monetary system. And right now, the Fed-eral Reserve is doing everything it can to combat the economic slow-

down related to the pandemic.By lowering interest rates, the

Federal Reserve reasons, people should avoid saving and start spending. After all, if you are not being paid much in inter-est on your sav-ings, then why keep saving?

Low interest rates may be bad for savers, but they are won-derful for borrowers. By lowering interest rates, the Federal Reserve also hopes to juice the economy through borrowing. More people buying more things is good for economic activity.

For savers, however, low rates are painful.

The question is how long will rates remain at these levels? That is a question without an answer. People may estimate, guess, pre-dict – call it what you will – but no one knows for sure. It partly depends on overcoming the fear of the coronavirus and partly on the Federal Reserve’s reactions to future developments.

But what if rates are low for a long time? What does it mean for savers and investors?

It means asset prices may get distorted. It means money will f low to the pockets of opportu-

nity with the greatest chance of offering yield and return. It means risk may become under-appreciated.

For instance, taking out a certificate of deposit or buy-

ing a short-term bond offers lim-ited returns today. You are likely looking at an interest rate below 1 percent. The dividend on the S&P 500, which is a benchmark for 500 of the largest companies in the U.S., has a dividend yield of 2 per-cent today. That’s at least twice as much as a CD or short-term bond. But investing in stocks comes with significantly more risk.

By decreasing interest rates, the Federal Reserve is pushing more people to purchase riskier assets. That may keep the stock market chugging higher for a time. But it also may not end well. As they say, what the wise person does in the beginning, the fool does in the end.

Another potential implication of “lower for longer” may be a

surge in real estate values. With less volatility than the stock mar-ket and potentially higher yields than CDs and bonds, investors may find residential housing, commercial buildings and farm-land as better places for their money.

The Wall Street Journal pro-duced an article several years ago, discussing negative rates in Europe. It blamed the interest rate environment for overbuild-ing in the real estate sector. The paper quoted the head of the Swiss Bankers Association, who said, “Holding cash is simply more ex-pensive than building an empty house.”

Let’s hope that’s not where we are headed.

Eventually, our economic sys-tem will heal itself. Until then, be careful. Avoid taking more risk than you can manage just to earn a little more return. It may work for a while – until it doesn’t.Justin Lueger, CFP®, is President of Invisor Financial LLC, a registered investment adviser firm in the State of Kansas.

Defacing God

We hear the term “origi-nal sin” quite often. It refers to the sinful

nature we have all inherited from Adam and Eve. In my study for a class as a minister in the Pres-byterian Church — in which I serve in addition to the Church of the Brethren — I came across the term “original righteousness.” I do not believe I have ever heard that term before, nor have I ever really considered it.

Man and woman were origi-nally created righteous. We are told in the book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, that God created male and female in His Image. What is God’s Image? He is Holy. He is Righteous. We see that in Jesus Christ, who was fully God and fully man. He said, “If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.” (John 14:9)

Jesus was perfect, without sin, righteous. He was God in human f lesh. We were created in that Image. That is who God created mankind to be; whom He wanted

each of us to be. But in sin, both the inherited sin of Adam and Eve and our active, daily sin, we deface God.

We hear of-ten about peo-ple defacing something such as a national m o n u m e n t and are upset by that. Ap-palled! Horri-fied! They spoil the appearance. They desecrate it. How much more do we do that to God? We spoil, we desecrate the appearance of God, or the image of God by our sin.

As we think of the fact that we were created originally, righteous, in the Image of God, and then un-derstand that sin defaces God’s Image in us, we can understand more deeply how horrible sin is to God. It is no small thing as we often try to make it. Only in and through the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, His broken Body and shed

Blood, can we be seen by God as He originally intended. This is Grace. We can do nothing that

is worthy of His Forgive-ness . There is no amount of good work that can ever make us “good enough.” Grace is the Gift of God that we can receive in

Jesus Christ. He is the only Way we can be forgiven for tarnishing, for defacing the Image of God.

This is a deeply convicting and devastating thought, truth, to me. I am defacing God. That breaks my heart. It should break all of our hearts. He is our Creator, the Lover of our souls. If we behave in any manner but in the manner in which Jesus lived and loved, we are defacing God. Even forgiven in Christ, it should still break our hearts.

Read the Gospels – Matthew,

Mark, Luke and John. This is the only way you can learn about Je-sus. We need to make a serious study of this, not just on occasion, but daily throughout our lives. If we don’t, our sinful nature will take over and soon we will be blinded. We will begin to make our own “theology,” we will begin to follow church leaders, rather than the Leader of the Church. We will do our own thing and soon forget Jesus as our example.

We can never regain the Image in which we were created, but in our Love for God, we can seek to reflect it the very best we can.

There is no place for arrogance, condemnation, judgment or ha-tred in His Image. If any of us claim to be a Christian, we should examine ourselves, and if we find things contrary to Jesus Christ, then we know we are defacing God. If we do not find anything, then we are not looking honestly at Christ and at ourselves.

The Image of God. Defaced by sin.

Navigating change

“Navigating Change” is the title of the document that the Kansas State Board

of Education will consider on Wednesday, July 15, 2020. This is the document that the Kansas State Department of Education has been working on since May. Over 1,000 Kansans have had in-put and contributed to this pro-cess. The purpose of this informa-tion is to provide recommended guidelines to schools for the 2020-21 school year.

One of the significant differenc-es between Kansas education at the end of the 2019-20 school year and the expectations for the 2020-21 school year is that schools are expected to meet the minimum of 1,116 instructional hours. These minimal hours are mandated by law. In most years, USD 113 ex-ceeds the minimum. At the end of last year, USD 113, along with

the majority of districts in the state, requested to waive the hour requirement. This allowed us to comply with the order to shut down schools. Meet-ing these hours will require us to be more rigid in our expecta-tions of stu-dents if we are faced with learning outside of school buildings.

Some information about the “Navigating Change” document has become available. Schools are expected to prepare for On-Site Learning, Remote Learning or a hybrid of the two. We are chal-lenged with exploring options for flexible learning in schools while increasing the ability to deliver instruction to students that are

not present. The majority of the 1,078-page

document pro-vides informa-tion regarding student learn-ing. At this time, the ma-jority of schools and the public are concerned about opera-tions. How will

we clean, social distance, etc. What will be procedures for enter-ing a school facility and how will we implement best safety practices while in the building?

Similar to most districts, USD 113 has been gathering informa-tion to make the best informed de-cisions possible. We have surveyed parents, teachers and classified staff. We will be consulting with medical health professionals. We

will be discussing implementa-tion challenges with staff serving in leadership roles. We also will be relying on the “Navigating Change” document as informa-tion that will help organize and support our process.

As we organize our resources and information, community sup-port and understanding will be more important than ever. Our district’s communities have long histories of supporting each other when times have been tough. Our identity has long been reflected by the supportive actions of our com-munity members for each other and the education of our children.

Schools will function differ-ently during the 2020-21 school year than at the end of the 2019-20 school year. The support of all will be essential this year as we navigate the best way to prepare kids and shape their future.

Local resident shares concerns about the Soldier Creek Wind FarmDear Editor,

The intrusion of the 500 foot wind turbines is now becom-ing a harsh reality in the southern part of Nemaha County. Now, we are seeing the result of the three man decision to allow the Soldier Creek Wind Farm into our county. As non-participating land owners, we live 1/2 mile east of the Soldier Creek Wind Farm lay down project on State Highway 9. Living on Highway 9 we are accustomed to the local grain trucks and farm equipment that drive by. But we are not accustomed to the increased traffic and noise of semis pulling huge bull dozers, cranes, and equipment we aren’t even familiar with. It’s natural to think that if you don’t hear anything about a situation, then everything must be okay. Everything is not okay in this part of the county. Local residents have called the sheriff ’s office numerous times to report traffic violations of the non-local truck drivers hired by Blattner to build these projects. My husband was driving an empty livestock semi-trailer on Highway 63 when he was forced out of his lane by a truck hauling a turbine section. Had the semi-trailer been fully loaded with cattle, it could have been a disaster. We also live about 1-1/2 miles from the cement plant that was built to supply all the cement for the turbines. This means several hundred trips driven daily by cement trucks (loaded then empty), as well as the constant line of gravel and other trucks (loaded then empty) that supply the ingredients for the ce-ment. There are also the countless trips to and from by the fuel trucks, water trucks, and who knows what other trucks. As frustrating as the traffic and traffic noise have been, I realize they are only temporary. Who knows what the final project will be like with the flashing red lights, the flicker effects and the noise. That will supposedly last 90 years. Fifty-four of these turbines will be within a four mile radius of Corning which is just west of us. The serenity of our sunsets will be gone, but who knows the effects on the Corning community. This editorial is not to generate sympathy but rather to hopefully make more people aware that the same situation could be coming to a community near you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Kansas counties to receive funding for recoveryDear Editor,

As many of you have heard, Kansas counties will be receiving substantial funding through the SPARK program (Strengthen-ing People and Revitalizing Kansas) to invest into our county to help us recover from the recent Coronavirus Pandemic. This is exciting news! Nemaha County is in the beginning stage of establishing a committee to receive and review applications for funding. Once established, all requests for reimbursements will need to be directed to that committee in writing with documentation explaining each request. Once this committee is established and educated on how this program works, they will begin accepting your applications. Until then, we strongly encourage businesses to collect documentation on expenses and estimates for future expenses incurred as a direct result of COVID-19. For more information regarding this program and what could be considered an allowable expense, please visit https://covid.ks.gov/spark-county-resources/. As we move forward with this project, we will make sure that the public is aware of when and how they can make their applications. We appreciate everyone for your patience and understanding during this time.

NEMAHA COUNTY COMMISSION

Board approves comprehensive plan contractHEATHER STEWART

After many weeks of discus-sion, the Nemaha County Com-missioners – Tim Burdiek, Gary Scoby and Dennis Henry – signed a contract with Marvin Planning Consultants (MPC) to start devel-oping a comprehensive plan for Nemaha County.

The contract was signed Mon-day, July 13, during the regular meeting, after the commission-ers discussed the contract with Nemaha County Attorney Brad Lippert and asked multiple ques-tions of Keith Marvin with MPC.

According to the contract, Nemaha County will pay $34,600 to MPC to begin developing a comprehensive plan for Nemaha County. The County must have a comprehensive plan in place be-

fore they can implement zoning, which has been a hot topic since the approval of the Soldier Creek Wind Farm.

MPC also plans to send out a county-wide mailing to retrieve information from county resi-dents about planning and zoning. This will cost the commissioners an additional $2,200.

The cost for developing zoning is not included in this price. Ac-cording to Lippert, if the County Commissioners elect to proceed with zoning after reviewing the comprehensive plan, there will be an additional fee of $15,200 to develop a zoning plan.

Now that the contract is signed, the commissioners will need to hire a project manager. According to Marvin, this person can be any-one already currently employed

by the county. The responsibility of the project manager would be to assist MPC with the project. According to Marvin, responsi-bilities would include helping to distribute materials or arranging meetings and meeting locations. MPC will also start working with the county to development a plan-ning commission board.

One county resident present at the meeting questioned whether the County’s zoning would take precedent over Sabetha and Sen-eca’s zoning.

Marvin said typically in Kan-sas, counties take precedent over cities on planning and zoning.

“If a county that takes on zon-ing after a city does and has a three-mile [extraterritorial zon-ing radius], then that goes away unless the county board wants

to sign an interlocal agreement with those communities,” Marvin said. “So right now, the only com-munities in Nemaha County who are exercising this are Seneca and Sabetha.”

MPC estimates that the com-prehensive plan will be complete by June 2021.

PROJECT HISTORYMPC was recommended by a

three-person committee – Ray Shinn and Jim Reitz of Seneca, and Scott Wedel of Sabetha - in June 2020.MPC has prepared comprehensive plans for the Cities of Sabetha and Seneca, and is also working with Corning, Wetmore and Bern.

GOVERNING BODY

Brown County CommissionSubmitted by Melissa Gormley

County ClerkThe Board of Brown County

Commissioners met in regular session via Zoom on Monday, July 6, with the following mem-bers present: Chairman Dwight A. Kruse, Keith Olsen and Richard L. Lehmkuhl. Also present was Brown County Clerk Melissa Gormley and County Attorney Kevin Hill. Kruse opened the meeting at 8:10 a.m. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited by all. Lehmkuhl led the meeting with a prayer.

COVID-19Chastity Schumann with the

Brown County Health Depart-ment presented the Brown County statistics to the commissioners. She also gave updates on sur-rounding counties. Schumann reviewed the symptoms of COV-ID-19 and how the virus is spread. Schumann also discussed how to slow the spread by practicing good hygiene and maintain social dis-tancing.

John Broberg, Hiawatha Hospi-tal CEO, discussed his perspective from a clinical point of view. He thanked the commissioners for considering the benefits of fol-lowing Governor Laura Kelly’s executive order to decrease the spread of COVID-19 and allow our businesses to remain open.

Commissioner Lehmkuhl asked

how many tests had been done in the past two weeks. Schumann stated approximately 200 tests were conducted. There was one positive over the weekend.

Commission Olsen asked how long it took to get a test back. Schumann stated it takes 48 to 72 hours, but some tests were taking longer.

Commissioner Kruse ques-tioned the tracking of the virus – whether the infections were work related or from mass gathering exposure. Schumann stated the recent case was work related where the business already required wearing masks. Schumann also stated that rural areas have less positive cases.

Commissioner Lehmkuhl asked if any of the cases have been because of mass gatherings? Schumann stated only one case. Commissioner Kruse said the general take of the commission meeting is to strongly recommend face covering and to put a strong emphasis on social distancing.

Lehmkuhl stated the commis-sioners recommend face cover-ings, but they should not be man-dated. Commissioner Olsen read a letter he wrote. Olsen stated he had heard from both sides of the spectrum, and the commission-ers would not be able to make everyone happy. Olsen is in favor of leaving the county as is and not

supporting the executive order.The commissioners accepted

Resolution 2020-14, to leave Brown County as is, exempting Brown County from the use of face masks and let business and individuals make their own de-cisions.

Lehmkhul stated it is impor-tant to let people make their own decisions. Businesses should post signs in their windows as to whether they want customers to wear masks or not. Lehmkhul also stated they may go two weeks and see a spike in cases, and then the commissioners would have to revisit the matter.

Attorney Hill stated the county can have less stringent findings than the Governor’s order. It would have been premature to take action on Tuesday, since the Governor had not made an execu-tive order. Hill stated the commis-sioners did follow HB No. 2016.

Hill stated the Board of Com-missioners consulted with the County Health Officer and did make the following findings:

• COVID-19 cases remain low in Brown County.

• Enforcement of the Governor’s executive order mandating masks would be difficult to accomplish given the restrictions placed upon enforcement by the Kansas Legis-lature, and would place a strain on county law enforcement.

• The use of face masks in Brown County under circum-stances set forth in Sections 1 and 2 of Executive Oder 20-52 is strongly encouraged by the Board of Brown County Commission-ers, but is not being mandated at this time.

SPARKBrown County Emergency

Manager Don Pounds presented a list of residents to be on the SPARK taskforce. Pounds asked for compensation at a rate of $25 per hour. Commissioner Kruse asked if a volunteer committee could be paid. Commissioner Lehmkuhl asked what the date was to have everything done. Pounds stated Aug. 15 is when everything has to be in place.

The commissioners accepted the SPARK taskforce.

Lehmkuhl asked Pounds to explain what SPARK is. Pounds stated it was federal money that Brown County received in the amount of 1.9 million dollars to help address the health and eco-nomic challenges inf licted by COVID-19. Pounds stated he has reached out to the City clerks to see if they were in need of any-thing.

The next regular meeting was held on Monday, July 13. These minutes were not available at The Herald’s press time.

Present also were Commissioners Dennis Henry and Gary Scoby, Road and Bridge/Solid Waste Supervisor Dennis Ronnebaum and Office Manager Kathy Haverkamp, and County Clerk Mary Kay Schultejans re-cording the minutes.

Susan Futscher with the Nemaha County Training Center (NCTC) came before the board. Futscher presented two bids for a new air conditioning unit for the day center in Seneca. Glen Rus-che bid $5,995 and Eisenbarth Plumbing bid $4,972. The com-missioners approved the bid from Eisenbarth Plumbing.

Futscher also requested fund-ing from Nemaha County for the NCTC 2021 budget. She is re-questing $110,000 for 2021, which is an increase of $6,500 over what was appropriated to this organiza-tion in 2020.

Dana Schmelzle and Lee Co-peland with the Nemaha County Conservation District came be-fore the board to request funding from Nemaha County for their 2021 budget. They are request-ing $35,000 for 2021, which is the same amount that was appropri-ated to this organization in 2020.

The commissioners opened up discussion about comprehensive planning in Nemaha County. The board reviewed a contract submitted by Marvin Planning Consultants to prepare a Compre-hensive Plan for Nemaha County. Discussion was held concerning adding the cost of a comprehen-sive plan to the county’s budget while trying to stay under the tax lid enforced by the State of Kan-sas, as well as trying to provide all services currently made avail-able by the county. Karen Bau-man, Galen Bauman and Laurie Schmelzle were present to make comments and ask questions con-cerning comprehensive planning in Nemaha County.

Department ReportsSenior Services/Public Transit

Director Diane Yunghans came before the board to let the com-missioners know that, at this time, they are still only provid-ing meals on wheels services and not on-site dining services in the county. Yunghans requested a pay increase for Deb Haverkamp, who has been employed with the coun-ty for three years now. The board approved increasing Haverkamp’s pay from $16.16 per hour to $16.58 per hour, effective back to June 21.

County Attorney Brad Lippert came before the board. Lippert addressed some questions brought up earlier concerning comprehen-sive planning in Nemaha County. The board asked Lippert to review the Contract for Services provided by Marvin Planning Consultants.

Commissioners spoke to Lippert about continuing to

livestream Nemaha County Com-mission meetings on the county’s Facebook page.

Ronnebaum advised the board that:

• The guys are hauling rock today on Pennsylvania Avenue.

• They will probably start blade patching this week.

• The guys are working on Bridge R-40 at this time.

• The guys will be cleaning up brush near tubes and bridges as well.

Emergency Preparedness Di-rector Russel Lierz advised the board that:

• County Attorney Lippert drafted the resolution needed to participate in the SPARK Pro-gram. The commissioners were provided with a copy of this reso-lution to review.

• He is working on forming a committee to deal with the SPARK Program reimbursement funding that Nemaha County is to receive.

• The county still needs to ap-point someone to be the main contact for the SPARK Program. Commissioner Henry volunteered to be the main contact person for Nemaha County.

Sheriff Rich Vernon advised the

board that:• He and Emergency Prepared-

ness Director Lierz have been looking into the purchase of an LED speed display sign for use by the county. Vernon and Lierz explained the options available for this kind of sign.

• His department had a rela-tively active holiday weekend.

• They are currently holding either six or seven inmates in the jail.

• The route used for the Cen-tralia Fourth of July Parade will need to be changed next year for safety purposes.

• He needed an executive ses-sion with the board. The commis-sioners went into a five-minute executive session to discuss non-elected personnel. Present for the executive session were the Board of Commissioners and Sheriff Vernon. The meeting returned to open session at 10:23 a.m. with no action taken by the board follow-ing the executive session.

Sheriff Vernon came back be-fore the board to provide further information concerning the pur-chase of an LED speed display sign. Following discussion, the commissioners approved the purchase of two mobile speed

display signs at a cost of $18,370. This cost is to be paid out of the Capital Outlay Fund.

Also at the meeting:The commissioners reviewed

with Lippert the draft of the reso-lution necessary to participate in the SPARK Program. Following discussion, the commissioners ap-proved Resolution 2020-12, the County Coronavirus Relief Fund Resolution. The board signed the resolution as presented.

The board reviewed and ap-proved the minutes from the June 29 meeting.

The board also reviewed and approved the minutes from the July 2 special meeting with cor-rections noted.

NEMAHA COUNTY TRAINING CENTER

Changes taking place at NCTC, the Right Stuff

Submitted by Susan FutscherOver the last year and a half,

planning has taken place to ad-dress the changing needs of Nemaha County Training Cen-ter (NCTC) services in Sabetha. After careful consideration, it was decided to base most of the Day Services out of the Seneca loca-tion.

“We will continue to carry out all community/public contract work and services in Nemaha County — as you know them to be now — but most of the behind the scenes tasks will be completed

in Seneca,” said Susan Futscher, executive director of NCTC. “The Community Living/Residential Services we provide in Sabetha will not change.”

According to Futscher, during planning, it also was decided to make a change with the Right Stuff Thrift Store in Sabetha, which NCTC owns and operates.

“With most of the Day Services being based out of Seneca, space will be freed up in the Sabetha NCTC building at 329 N. 11th Street.,” Futscher said. “Due to increasing maintenance costs of the thrift store’s current building, it was decided to move the store to 329 N. 11th Street, which is al-ready zoned for business/services. We hope to complete transition to the new location this year.”

“We appreciate the contin-ued support of Nemaha County residents and businesses, as well as City and County officials!” Futscher said.

Please contact NCTC for more information at 785-336-6116 or nctc@nctcks.org.

Fifty-seven patrols were noted in June at Sabetha City Lake.

The SPD helped with traffic at the Rock the Ridge event and there

were no negative reports.Officers and operators are work-

ing longer hours and needing to work on their days off. There are personnel issues coming up that will need to be addressed.

Also at the meeting:The commissioners approved

the minutes from the June 22 meeting.

The commissioners approved a wage resolution for lifeguards Emily Krebs and Tristan Wittwer.

The commissioners approved a Solar Origination Agreement with Priority Power. This agreement al-lows Priority Power to look at the city’s portfolio about how the City of Sabetha uses power. According to Allen, the agreement then allows Priority Power to go out and find prices for equipment and possible locations for solar panels for the City of Sabetha. While the city would be signing an agreement, it does not lock the city into any-thing, it only allows the Priority Power to look into the possible generation of solar electricity for the City of Sabetha.

Allen said he did have someone show interest in the Park Ranger Position, but no one has been hired yet.

The commissioners asked about progress on Sixth Street. Allen said he is hoping to have it open by the NEK Rodeo, which is this week-end.

Allen also updated the com-mission on the walking trail. Al-len said the State of Kansas is in charge of this project, but said he is hoping the project starts in August.

The commissioners will meet again at 6 p.m. Monday, July 27, at Sabetha City Hall.

PRAIRIE HILLS USD NO. 113

School is still on for USD 113

ERIN HERRMANN

At the Prairie Hills USD No. 113 Board of Education meeting on Monday, July 13, the board members discussed topics regard-ing the fiscal 2020-21 school year.

Superintendent Todd Evans shared a statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics, which says, “All policies and con-siderations for the coming school year should start with the goal of having students physically present in school.”

To clear up any confusion, Ev-ans states that, as of now, USD 113 is scheduled to have school for fiscal year 2020-21. School will remain scheduled unless a govern-ing body takes action to change that decision.

According to Evans, the upcom-ing school year will have higher expectations, especially compared to last year’s fourth quarter.

There is a minimum of 1,116 hours required for the com-ing school term. Students doing online learning must complete their assignments as they would

in school, or they will not meet the minimum required hours of learning.

Additionally, school personnel, parents and students will need to fulfill documentation require-ments for remote learning.

On Tuesday, July 14, a guid-ance plan to help districts re-open school buildings, called “Navigating Change 2020,” will be presented to the Kansas State Board of Education. The Kansas State School Board will act on the guidance document on Wednes-day, July 15.

The USD 113 Board of Educa-tion will hold a special meeting on Thursday, July 23, to review items including KOMA and Boards-manship, COVID-19 discussion and related BOE decisions and the approval of fiscal year 21 Code 99 for publication.

As for the 2019-20 graduation, Evans said he will talk to county health officials on Friday, July 17, to make sure everything is going according to plan. USD No. 113 graduations are planned for Sun-day, July 26.

TOPEKA GOLDEN GIANTS

Sabetha welcomed the Topeka Golden Giants to town on Tues-day, July 7, and were looking to add another win to their record following their win the night be-fore. The game went on for 14 in-

nings, and Sabetha would claim the 6-5 win. Nelson Verak hit a home run in the ninth inning to tie up the game. Innings 10, 11, 12 and 13 remained scoreless for each team, but then a base hit by Verak in the 14th inning would drive in Ivan Medina for the winning run.

Fun By The NumbersHere’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the number will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle.
