dangerous intersectionsKDOT studies US-75 intersections,

but change has yet to comeAMBER DETERS

In February 2016, an accident at the intersection of U.S. Highway 75 and Kansas Highway 246 killed two and injured one. In March 2016, an acci-dent just south of the intersection of U.S. Highway 75 and 260th Road/176th Road killed one and injured one.

Sabetha City Administrator Doug Allen said that the city has been in contact “numerous times over the years” with the Kansas Department of Transportation to “do something” at the intersection of U.S. Highway 75 and 260th Road (Brown County side)/176th Road (Nemaha County side).

“We have not specified what we wanted done — just something to im-prove the safety of the intersection,” he said. “There have been too many almost-accidents that are not going into their count of accidents at the in-tersection.”

On March 1, 2017, The Sabetha Her-ald published a “Letter to the Editor” from Harlan Bailey of rural Sabetha.

Directing his letter to the Sabetha City Commission, Bailey called on commissioners to use their “influen-tial power” to “get the state to doing something” about the intersection of U.S. Highway 75 and Kansas High-way 246, often referred to as “Berwick Road” locally.

Bailey noted “several crazy things” at the intersection, including “passing on the right hand side going north and causing traffic turning east to meet you head on, speeding, pulling out in front of traffic on Highway 75, and not stopping at the stop signs.”

Allen said that, until recently, the

city did not have much communica-tion with KDOT about the intersec-tion of U.S. Highway 75 and Kansas Highway 246.

“We would like to see improvements on both, but have 260th and Highway 75 as first priority,” Allen said.

After publishing Bailey’s letter, The Sabetha Herald contacted KDOT to inquire whether any traffic safety stud-ies had been done at either of these in-tersections.

US-75 AND 260TH/176THFollowing multiple inquiries in the

past seven months, The Herald has learned that a study was completed on the intersection of U.S. Highway 75 and 260th/176th in July 2014.

Data from the 2014 study found that the crash rate at this intersection is 9.69 crashes per 10 million entering vehicles, which is above the statewide average of 5 crashes per 10 million entering vehicles but below the criti-cal rate of 13.03 crashes per 10 million entering vehicles.

The 2014 study recommended that northbound and southbound left turn lanes be installed, while removing the bypass lanes.

It also recommended a northbound right turn taper.

Sabetha city officials appeared to be unaware of these recommendations until very recently, even though stud-ies such as these are supposed to be provided to the appropriate local unit of government immediately after fi-nalization.

SHS MUSICAL

Sabetha students to perform ‘Hello Dolly!’HERALD REPORT

Sabetha High School students will present the musical “Hello Dolly!” in multiple performances next week.

Public showtimes are 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 10 and 11, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 12, in the Sabetha Middle School audito-rium. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students and senior citizens.

Prior to Friday evening’s show, Sabetha Emergency Services is holding a Baked Potato Bar fun-draiser. The meal will be offered from 5 to 7 p.m. in the SMS Com-mons.

The musical is set in 1890, when

widowed New York City Jewish matchmaker Dolly Levi (Saman-tha Edwards) journeys to Yonkers and the home of Horace Van-dergelder (Henry Glynn). Horace is a wealthy grain merchant whom she would like to marry.

Horace wants Dolly to take his niece, Ermengarde (Sonja Me-nold), to New York, where the girl will be protected from the atten-tions of Ambrose Kemper (Gar-rett Scott), an impoverished young artist. In addition, he reveals his intention to marry Irene Molloy (Kesair Brubeck), a pretty New York milliner, an announcement that inspires Dolly to devise a plan to keep Horace for herself.

Cornelius (Joseph Gruber) and Barnaby (Seth Burdick), the des-titute clerks from Horace’s store, are planning to take a day off in the owner’s absence, and Dolly ad-vises them to visit Irene’s shop but not to reveal who has sent them. In New York City, the characters will have the time of their lives and hopefully find love.

Other cast members include the following: Ernestina (Hunter Lowdermilk), Minnie Fay (Norea Menold), Mrs. Rose (Larke Edel-man), Rudolph Reisenweber (Charlie Kuenzi), Sandy (Ain-sley Smith), Harmonia Gar-dens Waiters/Dancers (Rachel Kuenzi, Kaytlynn Bulk, Anna

Scott, Deborah Edelman, Han-nah Whittaker, Molly Edelman, Gracie Robinson and Sofia Kue-nzi), First Cook (Cheyan Rokey), Second Cook (Shayna Strahm), Judge (Kyle Grimm), Policeman (Payton Lippert), Court Clerk (Ra-chel Kuenzi), and Chorus (Ellen Glynn, Sammi Gutknecht, Leah Renyer, Kenzie Meyer, Ashlyn Me-nold, Aric Erdley, Walker Lowder-milk, Kaleb Grimm, James Stone, Braden Mitchell, Cody Meyer, Spencer Strahm and Keenan Lip-pert.)

Editor’s Note: In the event of a Friday evening football game, the opening night show will be moved to 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9, and the fundraiser meal will be moved to Saturday.

Illola MillerIllola Augusta (Jauken) Miller, 91, of

Sabetha, died Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2017. She was born Jan. 30, 1926, on a farm

by Bern, to Herman and Julia (Ramsey) Jauken. She was to spend 50 years in the Bern School District; 12 years attending school and 38 years teaching.

On June 12, 1955, she married Gale E. Miller. They lived all their married life on a farm south of Woodlawn. Illola gave her life to teaching. She was approached the summer before her senior year at Wash-burn University, about teaching instead of going to college. She spent her senior year of college teaching high school business, band and vocal at Greenleaf, while finishing up her college credits to graduate with her class. She had a lifetime teaching certificate. Her next teaching job was in Robinson. When she moved to Bern to teach, she transferred to elementary school and taught fifth and sixth grade plus elementary music. She ended her career teaching fourth grade. Her elementary Christmas Operettas always packed the Bern Gymnasium.

She played the piano for many weddings, funerals, solos and 4-H musical numbers. She was the pianist for more than 60 years at the Woodlawn Baptist Church. She could play any musical instrument she set her mind to. After retirement, Illola enjoyed taking care of her grandchildren, Bonnie and Chris, plus helping Gale raise cattle and sheep. She was a member of the Woodlawn Baptist Church, Bern Bridge Club, DHS Club, Bern American Legion Auxiliary and the Eastern Star.

Gale died on March 11, 2004. Illola continued to enjoy farm life until October 2016, when she moved into the Sabetha Manor. She was preceded in death by her husband; her brother, Jack Jauken, and his wife, Arlene Jauken.

She is survived by one daughter, Marcia (Gary) Bauerle; two grand-children, Bonnie (Wes) Brewer and Chris (Kate) Bauerle; five great-grandchildren, Donovan Loyd Brewer, Gracia Gail Brewer, Jeremiah Paul Brewer, Maria Rose Bauerle and Sophia Julia Illola Bauerle (born Oct. 5, 2017); a brother, Hiram (Marilyn) Jauken of Topeka; and four nieces and four nephews.

Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 3, at Popkess Mortuary in Sabetha. Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 2, at the funeral home.

MEMORIES Compiled from past issues of The Sabetha Herald

125 YEARS AGO Friday, October 28, 1892The sewing machine parlor opened by Carlyle & Ellis in the Whit-tenhall building on Main street, is the neatest thing of the kind ever opened in Sabetha. Everything is arranged neatly and their machines are well displayed.The enthusiasm of the Leavenworth Times over the success of the great McKinley meeting finds vent in the exclamation, “ The Lord was on our side.” It is to be hoped that this pious state of mind will continue with D. R. Anthony until after the election, when he learns of the vote on congressman-at-large.A church wedding was postponed the other day at Newton because the groom forgot to take out a license, an omission which was not discovered until the bridal party reached the altar. The absence of a back door augmented the embarrassment of the situation.

100 YEARS AGO Thursday, November 1, 1917Urgent calls to speed up the work of making surgical dressings comes to Sabetha. More women are wanted to enlist in the work. Call at the city hall any afternoon and make arrangements to help on days when you can spare some time.Mrs. Doc Wittwer had quarreled all summer with a hen because the hen insisted on raising a family. The hen disappeared. This week she showed up with thirteen chickens.Friends wish to congratulate Miss Nannie Boyd in her success in win-ning the $50 check which was offered by the Standard Fashion Co., N. Y., last July in their noted contest. A great many young ladies entered this contest.

75 YEARS AGO Wednesday, November 1, 1942A proposed reduction in gas rates for the Kansas City area would affect the Gas Service Company which serves Sabetha. The set up is complicated. A commission in Missouri has spent about three years investigating gas rates. The gas service company buys the gas distributed here from another company at what is known as a gate rate.A joint session of committees from the Sabetha Chamber of Commerce and the Junior Chamber of Commerce met Monday evening and out-lined a plan of Christmas trade expansion similar to that employed last year. The opening feature of the program will be a window unveiling, displaying a wealth of Christmas merchandise. This will take place Wednesday evening, November 25.

50 YEARS AGO Thursday, November 2, 1967At a special meeting of the Board of Education of Sabetha Unified District 441 held last night, the board voted unanimously in favor of re-submitting the $1,399,000 bond proposal without change. At the special meeting held last night, the following representatives from the Wetmore and Goff area met with the board in an effort to gain additional information on the bond proposal that failed last week by a 937 to 880 votes: Steve Gleason, Raymond Bradley, Gerald Sourk, Harold Vernon, Mr. and Mrs. John Achten, Harol Kaul, Robert Pfrang and Robert Carson. The board reported that these citizens, after discussing all the important facts, have said they will make a sincere effort to fully inform the people of their area about the bond proposal when presented the next time. It was the feeling of the board that when the citizens become fully informed, they will see the advantages in the overall program that is proposed and in voting in favor of the bond issue.

25 YEARS AGO Wednesday, October 28, 1992About 600 people attended the Oct. 25 open house marking the first school year in the new Sabetha Middle School. A dedication program opened the afternoon, followed by tours of the new facility. School board president Roger Brockhoff served as master of ceremonies for the program in the school auditorium.Meeting clients’ individual needs and getting them more involved in the community are the goals of philosophy and mission statements proposed by the Nemaha County Training Center. NCTC executive director Alice Lackey is seeking community input about the statements because the developmentally disabled individuals the organization serves are part of the Sabetha and Seneca communities, and the tax-payers’ money helps support the program.

10 YEARS AGO Wednesday, October 31, 2007Construction on a 12,398-square-foot skate park began recently at the Sixth Street Park location. The recent heavy rains caused a delay of several weeks from the planned start date. The skate park is being constructed on land donated by the city, but this is still very much a community project, completely funded by private donations and fundraising efforts.Mike Spielman, a Sabetha High School alumnus, is the cross country coach for the Baldwin City Cardinals. In his 16 years at the helm for Baldwin, Spielman’s teams have captured no less than 13 4A Cross Country state championships. Saturday, Oct 27, the Lady Cardinals once again took first place. The boys finished in second place.

Fall chores, continued…

A couple of weeks ago, the fall chores list was all about trees and flowers.

This week, soil preparation work is the focus.

Soil testing is an often over-looked fall chore. Testing in the fall allows time to correct soil fer-tility issues that a soil test late in the spring may not.

For example, addition of organ-ic matter is best done in the fall. Waiting until a soil test confirms the need for additional organic matter in the spring doesn’t allow time to collect and apply material, let alone do much correction.

A representative soil sample consists of collecting soil from several locations in the garden or lawn, with each sample being taken from the soil surface to a depth of six to eight inches deep.

When possible, use a soil probe (available for checkout via the

Meadowlark Extension District Office) to collect samples. Other-wise, use a shovel to dig straight down into the soil. Shave a small layer off the back of the hole for your sample. Mix the sam-ples together in a clean plastic container and submit a pint jar’s worth of soil.

Soil tests cost $14 per sample through any Me adowla rk Extension District Office.

Remember that a soil test de-termines fertility problems, not other conditions that may exist such as poor drainage, poor soil structure, soil borne diseases or insects, chemical contaminants or damage, or shade with root com-

petition from other plants.Fall is also a great time to pre-

pare gardens for planting next spring as well, for a number of dif-ferent reasons. First, soils at this

time of year are typically drier, allowing work to be done when soil mois-ture is appro-priate. Freeze/thaw activity over the winter can also help break t i l led soils down even

further, leaving a mellow soil the following spring.

Second, fall tillage can disturb insects that like to hide in garden debris, reducing their ability to survive the winter.

It also allows the incorporation of plant debris, reducing disease

levels that can survive the winter while adding valuable organic matter to the soil.

Last but not least, fall is an ex-cellent time to add organic matter. As referenced before, fall gives us a longer time frame over which to allow organic matter to break down in the soil and provides a great opportunity for material incorporation when soils are dry.

Fall also gives us plenty of read-ily available organic materials like leaves, rotten hay or silage, or grass clippings as well as fresher material that can be added with more success in the fall than in the spring.

As a general rule, add two inch-es of organic material to the sur-face of the soil and till it in. Only till until soil particles are the size of grape nuts or larger. Working to dust destroys soil structure.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Spree winner says County Mart is best in 45-mile radiusDear Editor,

Wow, what an experience. In the last week, many people have stopped me with tenacious curiosity to ask how my five-minute shopping spree at Country Mart was.

For me, I experienced the same adrenaline rush as when I jumped off of a 30-foot cliff into a river. I also sincerely apologize to any bystander who was accidentally hit by fly-ing canned goods or my cart during that five-minute flurry.

I guess the reason our family was selected is because our key points showed that I had spent quite a bit of money so... Here are a few reasons I am a big spender at our Country Mart.

• Every time I swipe my debit card while standing in Sabetha city limits, I am helping to make debt payments through sales tax on infrastructure that my family loves, like our pool and library. When I swipe my debit card while standing in Topeka, that does not happen.

• Their sales. I am a frugal person. Shopping the sale ad and freezing really stretches a family living budget.

• Bulk meat sales. Often I buy a whole cryovac of pork loins, and slice and package them for our family. I cannot raise and butcher a hog for $1.99 per pound boneless.

• Fresh Produce. We have the best grocery store in a 45 mile radius for fresh produce. Granted, there are times that I wish it was better. But, for a small town, it is really good. I often stop by rural grocery stores in our region to grab an apple and yogurt, and it can be hard to find an apple that is not wrinkly. We are so blessed.

• Country Mart does a tremendous amount behind the scenes for our community! After serving on several non-profit boards in our community, I am in awe of how much Garrett Country Mart gives back.

• Kindness of the folks that work there. As a mom with littles, it is awesome to have help to the car. Heck, an employee has even watched my baby in the cart while I helped our other child in the bathroom. Amazing. Years ago, a different em-ployee saw that I was a new mom and took the extra effort to make sure I had a church family for support. Not something one would have available in the city!

In closing, I am so appreciative to the Garrett family and the Country Mart crew for giving me such a wonderful life-time memory.

As part of my gratitude, I would like to encourage my fel-low Sabethans to share how much they also love our Country Mart through social media. Sometime before Thanksgiving when you are in the store, snap a picture or quick video of something you love about our Country Mart. On Facebook when you post the picture, “check in” at Country Mart so their hard working crew is sure to see your gratitude. #love-mycountrymart #thanksgiving

Speech contest focuses on treesDear Editor,

I recently wrote a speech for the Conservation District. Wow! Another speech to write. But wait - it was on trees! It was interesting.

After I’d written the speech, I found that I had become more informed of the many gifts we find in trees. For example, did you know that some of the rains we get come from trees respiring water (evapotranspiration) in a relay system from the ocean?

I have noticed that the past topics of the Conservation Dis-trict speech contest have been on subjects relating to us, such as learning about the importance of soil, pollinators, and — this year — trees.

These will be helpful things for one to know about in life. I would like to invite other high schoolers to participate as well. The contest is held every October, and there is even a prize for participating.

Fighting colds and flu

With reports of f lu al-ready affecting peo-ple, it is time to do

what you can to protect yourself from colds and flu.

Here are some tips:• Get a flu shot. While no flu

vaccine is 100 percent effective, it does reduce your risk of flu-related hos-pitalization.

• Eat more fruits and veg-etables. Five servings a day gives you many antioxidants, vitamins and minera ls to boost your immune system. Fresh, frozen or canned varieties are all beneficial.

• Get up and walk! Even a brisk 20-minute walk in cold weather every day can reduce cold and flu symptoms.

• Vitamin E builds the immune system. It can help the body’s re-sponse to the flu vaccine and risks of upper respiratory infections.

• Consume foods rich in zinc, which are found in meats and poultry, legumes, whole grains and nuts plus fortified cereals. Don’t overdo it, as too much can be harmful.

• Lose weight. A reduction in

weight can improve the immune response. Always follow your doc-tor’s recommendations for best results.

• Drink fluids. Water, or even green tea, is beneficial to reduce inflammation.

• Wash your hands. This cannot be emphasized enough. Wash frequently and avoid rubbing your eyes and nose with dirty hands.

• Sleep cures many things. Research has shown a link b e t w e e n a

brain-specific protein and sleep that can fight flu symptoms.

• Know your body. When you feel tired and run down, that stresses your immune system and increases your chance of illness.

What about vitamin C? While many think taking a lot of vita-min C can keep illness away, the science does not back this up. Vitamin C supplements will not prevent you from getting a cold, but might shorten the duration of illness.

If you are ill, stay home. This will help reduce the spread of colds and flu.

Everything but the squeal

Okay, so October is almost over and I’ve neglected National Pork month.

Well, I haven’t totally neglected it. We’ve had smoked pork loin and then there’s all the bacon we consume.

Every year, the average Ameri-can eats nearly 18 pounds of ba-con. In the past 10 years, ba-con has grown into an indus-try generating more than $4 billion in an-nual sales. It’s gone from the breakfast table to a whole ar-ray of foods — bacon flavored milk shakes, for instance. Our national obsession with bacon has been a real boom for the pork industry.

Pigs save lives? It’s long been said we use “everything but the squeal” of a pig. Pork is a source of niacin and other nutrients, and pig heart valves have long been used as replacement for human valves.

Now researchers in Cambridge, Mass., are a bit closer to raising pigs whose organs and all other tissues can be transplanted into

humans. eGenesis is a bio tech company that is gene-editing to modify DNA in pig cells that can remove viruses that make pig organs unsuitable for humans. When these virus free pigs are created, it will be the first step in making them suitable for transplanting their organs to hu-

mans. When this happens, a whole flood or transferable or-gans and tissues would become available.

That is just amazing! If we could raise pigs for not only the protein we need

but use their organs and tissue to prolong human life, that would be quite the success story for tech-nology. We would literally “use everything but the squeal.”

In the U.S. alone, almost 117,000 people are awaiting a lifesaving organ transplant, according to the United Network for Organ sharing.

So celebrate Pork month, go have yourself a BLT, bacon burger, bacon sundae, bacon milk shake, bacon wrapped jalapeño pepper, or bacon brownie.

Challenge of collecting a representative soil sample

At first glance, soil sam-pling would seem to be a relatively easy task.

However, when you consider the variability that likely exists within a field because of inherent soil for-mation factors and past produc-tion practices, the collection of a representative soil sample be-comes more of a challenge.

Before heading to the field to take the sample, be sure to have your objective clearly in mind.

If all you want to learn is the average fertility level of a field to make a uniform maintenance ap-plication of P or K, then the sam-pling approach would be differ-ent than sampling for pH when establishing a new alfalfa seeding or sampling to develop a variable rate P application map.

In some cases, sampling pro-cedures are predetermined Soil tests may be required for compli-ance with a nutrient management plan or environmental regulations associated with confined animal feeding operations.

Sampling procedures for reg-ulatory compliance are set by the regulatory agency and their sampling instructions must be followed exactly.

When collecting grid samples to use with a spatial statistics pack-age for drawing nutrient maps,

procedures specific to that pro-gram should be followed. There are some sampling practices that should be followed:

• A soil sample should be a composite of many cores to mini-mize the effects of soil variabil-ity. A minimum of 10 to 15 cores should be taken from a relatively small area (two to four acres). Taking 20 to 30 cores will pro-vide more accu-rate results. A greater number of cores should be taken on larger f ields than smaller fields, but not necessarily in direct proportion to the greater acreage. A single core is not an acceptable sample.

• A consistent sampling depth for all cores should be used be-cause pH, organic matter, and nutrient levels often change with depth. Sampling depth should be matched to sampling objectives. For example, K-State recommen-dations call for a sampling depth of two feet for the mobile nutrients – nitrogen, sulfur, and chloride. A six-inch depth is suggested for routine tests for pH, organic mat-ter, phosphorus (P), potassium

(K), and zinc (Zn).• When sampling a specific area,

a zigzag pattern across the field is better than following planting/tillage pattern to minimize any past non-uniform fertilizer ap-plication/tillage effects. With GPS system available, georeferencing of core locations is possible. This

allows future samples to be taken from the same locations in the field.

• W h e n sampling grid points for mak-ing variable rate nutrient appli-cation maps,

collecting cores in a 5 to 10 foot radius around the center point of the grid is preferred for many spa-tial statistical software packages.

• Unusual spots obvious by plant growth or visual soil color/texture differences should be avoided. If information on these unusual areas is wanted, then a separate composite sample should be taken from these spots.

• If banded fertilizer has been used on the previous crop (such as strip till), then is suggested that the number of cores taken

should be increased to minimize the effect of an individual core on the composite sample results, and obtain a better estimate of the av-erage fertility for the field.

• For permanent sod or long-term no-till fields where nitrogen fertilizer has been broadcast on the surface, a three- or four-inch sampling depth would be advis-able to monitor surface soil pH.

Soil test results for organic mat-ter, pH, and non-mobile nutrients (P, K, and Zn) change relatively slowly over time, making it pos-sible to monitor changes if soil samples are collected from the same field following the same sampling procedures. There can be some seasonal variability and previous crop effects, however.

Therefore, soil samples should be collected at the same time of year and after the same crop. For example, in a corn-soybean ro-tation, sampling after soybean harvest in the fall would be an excellent sampling system

Soil sampling has much to offer if done properly, but it all starts with the proper soil sample col-lection procedure. Fall after har-vest is an excellent time for soil sampling.

The Greatest Problem brought the Greatest Gift

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Je-sus Christ.

Robert Strand, in his book “Fascinating Facts About Jesus,” reminds us of a classic story about Pogo, the comic strip possum who lived in the Okeefenokee Swamp. One day Pogo discov-ered the tracks of “the enemy.” After gathering his friends to-gether, they tracked “the enemy” all over the swamp until Pogo stopped long enough to make an important discovery. He noticed that the tracks of the enemy were identical to their own footprints! The truth dawned on him, and he announced it to his friends, “Halt! We have met ‘the enemy’ and he is us!”

Jesus recognized this classic problem among his fallen hu-man creation. We are the worst enemy we face in life. He said to His sleeping disciples, “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” (Matt 26:41, Mark 14:38)

Why is the body weak? What makes us “the enemy?” We all know the answer… sin. The trou-ble is, the old foe Satan, who has

corrupted our nature and made us our own enemy, doesn’t want us to either see it or admit it.

Yet, we must. For scripture is very clear, “… the wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23a) If we refuse to ac-knowledge our sinfulness and our need for the Savior God has sent in His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, we will perish in hell.

However, if we avail our-selves of God’s Holy Word and allow His Spirit to enlighten us to the reality of our sin and our need for a Savior, God will bless us with the free gift of His grace and not only forgive us our sin, but also bestow on us His “… free gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)

On this, the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, we are re-minded that left unchecked, man’s sin can move even the “Church of God” in the wrong direction. By ourselves, no man or institution can withstand the onslaught of the deceiver and stay on the course

God would have “His Church” travel.

Thus, I believe the “Reformers” of the 16th century were sent by God to remind us that only the Bible, that is, only the canonical

books of the Old and New Testament, is the divinely inspired and infallible Word of God.

In opposition to those who in a greater or lesser measure

add to this Word, subtract from it, or substitute for it, His true Church should hold, teach and confess it alone as the only stan-dard and rule by which questions of faith and life must be judged (Sola Scriptura).

As members of God’s true Church, we should glorify the central teaching of the Scriptures, the all-sufficiency of Jesus Christ as the one and only Savior of the world.

In opposition to all who mini-mize the complete and perfect atonement of Jesus Christ by mix-ing the works of fallen humankind

in the article of Justification by saying that further sacrifices for sin are needed or that man must be his own savior and justify him or herself before God through good works or moral conduct, we must confess with the clear teaching of the Holy Scriptures that men are justified before God, not by works, but by Grace alone, for Christ’s sake alone, through Faith alone (Sola Gracia, Sola Christus, Sola Fide).

“The enemy, or “My sins! My sins! My sins! My sins!” was the despairing cry of Luther in the cloister when he could find no comfort for his conscience. Today, as in the past and for all future time, man’s greatest problem is the problem of “sin.” But, our great-est problem has brought us God’s greatest gift. For today, as in the past, and for all future time, in His Grace and mercy God has solved our greatest problem by providing forgiveness of sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, a gift which He freely offers to all men in the Word of the Gospel.

He has met the enemy – and saved us from both Satan and ourselves.

Cold water saves

At the recent National Extension Association of Family and Con-

sumer Sciences annual meeting in Omaha, we learned about the Be Bold, Go Cold Initiative at the American Cleaning Institutes ex-hibit hall booth.

About 9 0 percent of the energ y t he washing ma-chine uses goes towards heat-ing the water. Washing in cold water saves energy, saves your clothes and could help save the planet. So, check your garment care labels.

Wash four out of five loads of your laundry in cold water and you could cut out 864 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions in a year. That’s equivalent to plant-ing .37 acres of U.S. forest.

Check your garment care labels, and you’ll see that many clothes specify to wash them in cool or cold water. This is because cold water is gentler on your clothes, and can protect them from fad-

ing, shrinking or bleeding. The right temperature can prolong the lifespan of your clothes and save you money.

Cutting back on hot water can help decrease your energy bill. You might have heard that hot water

washes best, but the times they are a changing. Years ago, the composition of detergent was different than it is now. New de-tergent technol-ogy introduces enzymes to the scene that actu-

ally work better in cold water. Some stains (think: grass,

makeup and blood) should only be washed in cold water, as hot water could make the stains permanent. Load size and amount of detergent can also play a role in how clean your clothes get.

Save energy. Save your clothes. Save our planet. We can all make more sustainable choices in our laundry habits.

COURT UPDATES: HOME INVASION

Martinez pleads no contest

HEATHER STEWART

The second Sabetha resident allegedly involved in a home in-vasion in Hiawatha has plead no contest to the charges brought against him.

Edgar Martinez, 21, of Sabetha entered a plea of no contest on Tuesday, Oct. 24. Martinez along with Jazmene Hicks, 23, of Sa-betha – who has also entered a plea of no contest – will be sen-tenced on Monday, Nov. 6.

The duo has been charged with felony counts of robbery, burglary and aggravated battery, and mis-demeanor criminal restraint.

Hicks and Martinez were ar-rested and charged after they were allegedly involved in a home invasion on Tuesday, May 16, at 121 Apache Street in Hiawatha. The pair allegedly broke into the home of Ray Atlakson, 30, where

Atlakson reported he was bat-tered and robbed, with his hands tied behind his back before the suspects fled the scene. Atlakson was taken to the Hiawatha Com-munity Hospital by ambulance for the treatment of his injuries.

Martinez and Hicks were ar-rested on Friday, May 19, by the Hiawatha Police Department — with the assistance of the Kansas Highway Patrol, Sabetha Police Department and the Nemaha County Sheriff ’s Office.

In addition to E. Martinez and Hicks, a third suspect — Oscar Martinez, 27, of Bern — is being sought on a warrant for aggra-vated robbery, aggravated bur-glary and aggravated assault and criminal restraint. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of O. Martinez should contact Hiawatha Police Department at 785-742-2156.

COURT UPDATES: WHS VANDALISM

Cases continuedHEATHER STEWART

The two teens who have been charged in connection with the vandalism at Wetmore Academic Center (WAC) have had their pre-liminary hearings continued.

Jarred Kramer, 18, and Jayme Tyler Hodge, 18, both of Netawa-ka, were scheduled to appear in court at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 24, but both cases were continued at the request of their respective attorneys. New dates had not been

scheduled as of Thursday, Oct. 26.Both Kramer and Hodge have

been charged with burglary, felo-ny criminal damage to property and theft. These charges stem from a vandalism at WAC, in which it is alleged that Kramer and Hodge broke into WAC in the early morning hours of Thursday, Aug. 3, during which property was both damaged and stolen.

The total cost of damages was estimated at approximately $65,000.

OTHER ELECTIONSFor the two positions of the

Meadowlark Extension District No. 7 board, Mary T. “Teresa” Harris of Centralia and Marcia Bauerle of Goff have filed.

ELECTION CHANGEThis is the first local govern-

ment election held since HB 2104 was signed into law in June 2015.

This law moves all elections for office holders of local govern-ments currently held in the spring of odd-numbered years to the fall of odd-numbered years.

Election timelines will mir-ror those of the general elections held in even-numbered years. Primary elections will be held the first Tuesday in August, and the general election will be held on the Tuesday following the first Monday of November.

In essence, this means that the local elections that would have been held in April 2017 will now be held in November 2017.

The bill specifies that those po-sitions that would expire at any time in 2017 now expire on the second Monday in January 2018.

Communications, said that the City of Sabetha was provided with these results at that time, and again in 2016.

However, Allen said he does not recall ever receiving the results of a study that recommended any changes at that intersection. Fol-lowing a request to KDOT for the report last week, however, Allen was provided with the report.

As to why the three-year-old recommendations still have not been implemented, Randall ex-plained that many highway proj-ects are planned out well in ad-vance, so there may be some time lapse between when the recom-mendations were made and when changes or improvements to an intersection can be scheduled.

Adam Olson, engineer for KDOT Area 1 District 1, said that he had hoped the recom-mended modifications could be made alongside a currently ongo-ing resurfacing project, but it was not possible.

Funding to do modernization projects comes from a different pool than preservation projects, Olson said, and the needed modi-fications were not going to be able to be accomplished within the re-surfacing project.

“Sometimes improvements can be added onto a maintenance project already scheduled, but sometimes the changes recom-mended are determined to need a separate project,” Randall said, saying that this is the case with the U.S. Highway 75 and 260th/176th intersection.

A resurfacing project only re-places existing pavement and does

not add the additional pavement that would be necessary to replace bypass lanes, Randall said.

“With the limitations of this type of project [resurfacing], KDOT was not comfortable with the length of turn lane that it would’ve been left with,” she said. “The lane would not have pro-vided the adequate deceleration distance needed on a 65 m.p.h. facility.”

“But the maintenance project is still necessary to preserve the existing highway structure for the present until a separate project to convert the bypass lanes into left turn lanes and/or other improve-ments could potentially be sched-uled at a later time,” Randall said.

US-75 AND K-246Following the Herald’s inquiry

in March 2017, an intersection study was ordered for the inter-section of U.S. Highway 75 and Kansas Highway 246, also known as “Berwick Road” to locals.

Randall said all of the neces-sary data from this site now has been collected and put into a draft report. The draft report is at the District/Area level, with a response deadline of Oct. 27. The report will be finalized in Novem-ber, Randall said.

Olson indicated that the recom-mendations for this intersection could be similar to those for the U.S. Highway 75 and 260th/176th intersection, but the specifics can-not be detailed until the report is finalized.

A resurfacing project currently is ongoing at this intersection, as well.

Weather pending, Randall

said, the resurfacing projects are expected to be complete in No-vember. The Herald will provide details when available.

INTERSECTION STUDIES - THE PROCESS

Randall said that KDOT inter-section studies can vary, depend-ing on the issue at hand.

Topics can range from speed limits and geometry — such as whether turn lanes are needed — to intersection control, sight distance and measures to ad-dress traffic failing to yield at a stop sign.

When completing an intersec-tion study, the Traffic Engineering Unit (TEU) first seeks to under-stand the nature of the concern as accurately as possible in order to request the correct data, she said.

The TEU completes a crash analysis of at least three years, which helps staff understand what types of crashes are occurring and determine whether there are any crash patterns. The results of the crash analysis might help shape the data request.

Staff reviews the intersection using Google, a video log, or a site visit. Randall said that this helps staff understand what the intersection looks like, including such features as roadway geom-etry, intersection control, pave-ment markings, etc.

The TEU then request the data needed to analysis the intersec-tion.

Data could include any of the following, depending on the situ-ation: speed data, 24-hour traffic volume counts, turning move-ment counts, sight distance mea-

surements, pedestrian data, and other information as needed.

Data collection can take any-where from one to eight months, Randall said, depending on the nature of the review request and the amount of data needed.

Once data is collected, a draft report is developed and reviewed within the TEU. In the report, the data is analyzed.

A recommendation is devel-oped based on the results of the data collection and crash analysis. The draft report is then sent to the KDOT District or Area offices for feedback.

Once the report is finalized, the District or Area office has the re-sponsibility of sharing it with the appropriate local units of govern-ment, Randall said.

QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS

Members of the public who have questions or concerns should reach out to KDOT area or district offices.

KDOT District 1 encompasses 17 counties in Northeast Kan-sas, including but not limited to Brown, Nemaha and Jackson counties.

This district is responsible for construction and maintenance activities for these counties, in-cluding improvement and main-tenance of more than 5,704 miles of state highways located within the district.

Bluejays defeat Cyclones 57-0PETE SCHUETZ | CONTRIBUTOR

The Bluejay football team was searching to put a pair of wins to-gether to establish a streak when they hosted the 2-6 Riverside Cy-clones last Thursday in the final District duel. Both teams had wins over Hiawatha in District play, so this win would be crucial to ad-vance. The Jays dominated in this one, 57-0.

Riverside was not allowed a first down in the first quarter on four possessions while the Jays inked points on three scoring drives to jump out to a 22-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Joe Gruber had the longest scoring run with an 18-yard tote, with Gabe Garber scoring from 10 yards out and Wyatt Beyer from 9 yards away.

Sabetha extended their lead to 35-0 by the intermission on a 5-yard touchdown run by Bran-don Brownlee and a 52-yard scam-per by Mason Engelken, both in the second frame.

The Cyclones were held to just 47 yards of total offense, 1.4 yards

per play in the first half, while the Bluejays ground out 248 to-tal yards and average of 8.6 yards per play.

Garber tallied his second touch-down of the night in the third quarter, punching it in from 8 yards out on the Bluejays first drive of the half.

With the mercy rule in affect, the clock was running, and the Jays deployed their reserve play-ers.

Joel Hackney extended his teams lead to 50-0 in the third quarter with a 1-yard scoring strike, and Tristan Edelman capped off Sabetha’s scoring with a 6-yard burst early in the fourth period.

With the 57-0 victory, the Jays finished the regular season 8-1, second in the Big Seven, and run-ners-up in their District.

“We were pleased with how our kids finished the regular season and earned a berth in the playoffs

Get out while you can

We are now about five weeks into the fall season. Fall is my favorite of the four seasons. It is not because of all of the

hunting opportunities that are available for me. It is because of the sheer beauty of the season.

Yes, the spring season is a beau-tiful time of the year, as well with all of the new growth appearing and the freshness of the air. The fall season is my favorite because of the multitude of colors that the different trees and plants display. I also love the crisp, clear nights with the constellations shining brightly.

Late Saturday night, my wife and I arrived home after a little road trip to visit the new granddaughter. I went out to feed cattle. There was no wind blowing. It was very still and quiet. The sky was completely lit up with a whole gallery of stars. I walked out behind the buildings to escape the glow of the mercury vapor lights.

As I breathed in the cool, clean air I glanced off to the east and spotted my favorite constellation just coming into view on the horizon. I got my constel-lation education back during my freshman year in high school courtesy of Earth Science teacher Monty Wyss. Ever since that time, I have enjoyed picking out the different constellations that fre-quent our area.

The constellation that I locked in on Saturday night was the constellation Orion, the Hunter. The fall season is when this constellation begins to appear in our night sky. By the time winter rolls around, Orion is visible from sundown to sunrise. It is a very large constellation and is a snap to spot. I am fortunate enough to live outside the city limits, so constellation viewing during the fall nights is

easy and enjoyable. At the crack of dawn Sunday morning, the sky

was still crystal clear as the sun began to creep up over the eastern horizon. The sun was fiery red, and as the rays from the rising sun caught the maple

trees in the yard they looked as if they were on fire. I love the color red in the leaves during the fall season. Some years, the leaves are more red than others. This year seems to be shaping up well so far.

I was reading on the website EarthSky.org and read that if the trees are going to have vibrant red leaves there needs to be cold air and bright light. Fall is the time of the year when we get those cold,

clear nights. The cold air helps break down the chlorophyll – the green pigment in leaves – leaving the red pigment in place.

During the summer, the warmer temperatures help produce the green chlorophyll as does the moisture received. As the fall season progresses, the leaves lay down a base at the stem to keep the sugars in the leaves from getting to the tree. These left behind sugars then produce anthocyanin, which is the red pigment we see in the fall colors. The bright sunlight helps produce this anthocyanin.

So if we would have a wet fall, we would end up with drab looking leaves. With the weather we have been having so far this fall, we should have some really gorgeous looking tree leaves. Sabetha has been blessed with some beautiful trees in town.

Get out there in the next few weeks, and take some walks around town. It is one of the greatest times of the year to enjoy the beauty that our trees produce. Cold, clear nights let you gaze at the stars and also produce the vibrant colors of the fall sea-son. Embrace this time of year and soak it all in!

Cardinals finish season 3-6 HEATHER STEWART

The Wetmore Cardinals trav-eled to Wakefield Thursday, Oct. 26, looking for a win, after they fell to Frankfort the week prior. Wakefield played well offensively and defensively and was too much for Wetmore. The Cardinals would lose 6-54 and finish their season 3-6.

“We had too many miscues and gave up too many big plays de-fensively,” said Head Coach Rick Schnacker. “Wakefield’s size and speed was too much for us tonight. We played hard, but at the end of the game, we could not match Wakefield’s offense and defense.”

Wakefield started off strong in the first quarter, scoring four touchdowns all while holding Wetmore’s offense scoreless.

During the second quarter, Car-dinals receiver Ethan Osterhaus found the end zone after catching a 73-yard pass from Kyler Vance. Wetmore’s extra point failed. While Wetmore only scored one touchdown, Wakefield kept their offense going and upped their score to 48. Going into the second half, Wakefield led 48-6.

In the third quarter, Wakefield found the end zone one last time.

The final score was 54-6, Wake-field.

Despite the loss, Schnacker said he is proud of the team and their efforts.

“These boys deserve much credit for what they accomplished this season,” he said. “Although our record isn’t what we hoped it would be, we made great strides this season and I’m proud of them. We established a foundation that can be built upon in the future.”

Kiwanis presents ‘I Like Me!’ books to kindergarten students

Submitted by Doug ClarkAs in previous years, Sabetha

Kiwanis Club has again presented “I Like Me” books to the three kindergarten classes at Sabetha Elementary School.

The hardbound books are per-sonalized to each child, featuring

the child in the story, along with two of their friends and teacher. They see their name on most of the pages.

The Kiwanis also presented a Teacher’s Guide to each of teach-ers so they can best use the books. The teachers are highly apprecia-

tive each year. The following is from the web-

site from which the Kiwanis Club gets the books.

“The ‘I Like Me’ reading en-hancement/self concept devel-opment program was created by John Shoemaker of Topeka and

has been implemented interna-tionally. Working with partners and organizations, Kindergarten-ers Count, Inc., works to make the program available to children across North America.”

“The hard-bound, personalized book and 12-week development

program was developed to instill a love of reading, foster positive associations toward school and learning, encourage positive and acceptable behavior mannerisms, and promote interaction among children, parents, educators and businesses.”

“Often referred to as a good citizenship program, ‘I Like Me!’ communicates anti-drug and an-ti-gang messages, and illustrates gender sensitivity, cultural diver-sity and the inclusion of people with disabilities.”

SCHOOL ORGANIZATION

The board approved the minutes from the Sept. 12 meeting. Trea-surer Nick Scott was not present to present the treasurer’s report.

Reel said he had a check for Lisa Schmitz for Centralia’s mentor program supplies. Bowman said she received three checks – initial 5 percent of the grant, July financials and August financials – from the

state. The board received a $300 check from Sabetha SADD chapter from the first day of school pre-senter.

Stewart presented the Grant Coordinator report. She discussed what was presented at the October grant training, as well as how the grant was resubmitted to the state after finding an error.

Old BusinessMOU: The board discussed sug-

gested changes for the MOU next year.

Junior High Dance: The board discussed the junior high dance that was held on Saturday, Sept. 23, and if the SADD chapters met the requirements of the MOU and if the SADD chapters should re-ceive their second half payment. The board decided to send letters to SADD sponsors, principals

and superintendents about how the dance went and the board’s expectations, per the MOU.

Give to Grow Update: Renyer at-tended the Give to Grow meeting. They suggested contacting busi-nesses or individuals before Nov. 24 to provide matching funds for the groups. Stallbaumer recom-mended contacting the hospital about matching funds.

Community Readiness Inter-views: The board went through the list of potential interviewees and assigned who would contact them. Renyer will send an email out to board members about due dates for the interviews.

Logic Model: The board de-cided it needed a data work group to gather information. The data work group consists of Stallbau-mer, Bowman and Strathman.

The next grant training dates are Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 23 and 24, 2018.

Renyer will send an email the board about the next meeting date.

WETMORE HIGH SCHOOL

Senior year comes with struggles

Submitted by Jossie Shumaker WHS News Correspondent

Whoever said that one’s senior year was the best year of a teen-ager’s life lied. Senior year comes with many stressful moments. The stress can come from academics, extracurricular activities and fu-ture plans.

Academics is perhaps the larg-est source of stress. Faith Bratcher, who hopes to graduate in Decem-ber, especially feels this stress.

“Trying to keep my grades up above an A- and having a 3.5 or above GPA is a struggle,” Bratcher said.

Senior Myrna Crismas said, “The biggest struggle for me is trying to understand all the col-lege stuff and maintain good high school grades as well.”

Another source of pressure is all of the extracurricular activi-ties that come with being a senior.

“I mainly seem to struggle with juggling two sports, a college class and my regular classes all at once. Not to mention that I’m in pep band, the school musical, SADD, STUCO and on the KAYs board,” said senior Alena Pfrang.

Teachers and sponsors also see that the students at Wetmore are

also struggling with all that they do.

“At a small school such as ours, students are involved in literally everything,” said English teacher Linda Boyd. “Our students are athletes, musicians and actors. They are also supposed to use their time in volunteer activities as well.”

Deciding what they want to pursue after high school and ap-plying for scholarships is still an-other source of anxiety. McKayla Henry is attempting to figure out which major and career to pursue, while Jossie Shumaker is endeav-oring to figure out how she can do volunteer hours in order to ful-fill a requirement of the physical therapy program for which she wishes to qualify.

Academics, extracurricular activities and future choices are all major sources of tension for seniors, but for some students, basic functioning appears to be a problem. Ethan Osterhaus cites that “waking up every day” is a struggle for him.

No matter what the challenge, most seniors know that all too soon, they will graduate and wake up to new challenges.
