GLACIAL HILLS BUSINESS RESOURCE CENTER

Glacial Hills houses an array of area businesses

HEATHER STEWART

Area businesses ranging from insurance and catering to agriculture technology and a veterinary practice are just three of the 13 businesses currently operating out of Glacial Hills Business Resource Center in Sabetha. The former assisted living facility turned business resource center – which opened in December 2016 – offers multiple office spaces for new and growing businesses.

According to Gary Satter, executive direc-tor of Glacial Hills Resource Conservation and Development Board (RC&D), Glacial Hills is a business incubator, which helps businesses start, grow or expand. It also serves as a business resource center, and a

business/community meeting place. “We provide one-on-one business coun-

seling on business planning, financials and other business functions,” Satter said. “There are a few that do not need our help and a few are newer and saw the benefit of being located outside of their home.”

Five of the businesses are new to the cen-ter since December [2017], so Glacial Hills RC&D hasn’t had much time to assist them with developing their businesses yet, while some of the business that have been there longer have received assistance, Satter said.

“Some of the others have been provided business planning assistance in how to bet-ter market their business,” he said. “Not all businesses have the same needs at the same

time. Several of the businesses moved from their homes into the business center and feel like it provides them with more exposure and growth potential.”

Aaron Shafer, owner of Apogee Animal Health – one of the businesses in Glacial Hills – said the services are very useful that Glacial Hills provides.

“It [Glacial Hills] has been useful,” he said. “We feel like the meetings we have attended and the consultants we have utilized have helped us better understand how to run a small business. We enjoy working out of Glacial Hills.”

Shafer said Glacial Hills is a neutral meet-

NEW LIFE FESTIVAL

New Life Festival to celebrate 10th yearAMBER DETERS

“Christ has Risen! He has risen indeed. Halle-lujah!”

These words ring out throughout the New Life Festival offered by the First Lutheran Church of Sabetha. This year, the festival will celebrate its 10th year.

The New Life Festival is a free event held each year on the Saturday morning before Easter Sunday, rain or shine. This year’s event is set for 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 31, at the First Lutheran Church, 311 Çedar Street in Sabetha. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m.

This fun, free event all started with a spark during an outreach brainstorming session.

“We were brainstorming on ideas of outreach activities that could more serve and involve the community,” Steve Huneke said. “More ways to get the Gospel out in the community. Thinking outside the box.”

Pastor Michael Dunaway with the Northeast Kansas Partnership — which includes the First Lutheran Church in Sabetha — was leading the meeting, Huneke said, and mentioned the idea of an activity during Holy Week. The activity could include different stations with different leaders, all celebrating Holy Week.

“Everything evolves around Holy Week — what Jesus did for us on the cross and ending with cel-ebrating His Resurrection on Easter morning, so we can all celebrate our salvation also,” Huneke said.

When Huneke f loated the idea to additional church members who generously offered contribu-tions of time and supplies, the “New Life Festival” was born.

“As I asked around, one after another started volunteering to take care of one thing or another,” Huneke said.

The idea was to have different stations that youth would rotate around, all sharing the message of Jesus in some way. The New Life Festival was celebrated with six stations that first year, and has continued that format every year since.

“Our focus is spreading the Gospel, Good News, of Jesus for our salvation,” Huneke said. “If we can make it fun for everyone, we all win!”

Stations include a Bible lesson, craft, snack, ani-mals, games, and activity center such as obstacle course or bounce house. Also included is an open-ing and closing ceremony, as well as an egg hunt at

the end. Some of the activities are dedicated to “helping to release some energy,” Huneke said.

“We used to spread 300 eggs, and now we do 1,000 or more,” Huneke said.

As the number of eggs show, the New Life Festival has grown year after year — from attendance of about 30 the first year to more than 100 now.

“I think it is great that at first it was just children, but now we have whole families and parents partici-pate with us,” Huneke said. “We have a great community we all live in, and it is well worth all the work it takes to put on this fun festival celebrating Holy Week and the Resurrection of our Saviour.”

Along with the growing number of children and families who attend, the festival now requires more than 40 volunteers to run the event.

Ever since the first year, Huneke said, the group begins planning for next year on the same day or the day following the current year’s event, “while things are fresh in our minds, especially any changes absolutely needed.”

Preparation gets in full swing be-fore the first of the year, including a meeting at the church for anyone who wants to participate in planning

MEMORIES Compiled from past issues of The Sabetha Herald

125 YEARS AGO Friday, March 24, 1893Twenty-three saloon keepers were arrested in Fort Scott this week and placed in jail. This was done by the populist assistant attorney general and it looked like a real intention of trying to enforce the law. But the same evening they were released and the charges dismissed, all of them going back to their illegal traffic again.A Texas editor wants a law passed compelling actors to wear clothes on the stage. It will be necessary first to provide against the numerous stage robberies for which the Lone Star State is notorious.

100 YEARS AGO Thursday, March 21, 1918The body of a man who has possibly been dead six months was found in a slough on a Thompson farm near Seneca Tuesday. Nothing was found on him that would lead to identification.No wonder prohibition carried in the south so easy. The famous mint julep is a delusion and a snare, take it from us. This is nothing in it.A set of double harness was stolen from Ed Ukele Tuesday night. It is believed the thief entered Ukele’s barn and made away with the har-ness in an automobile.E.T. Ukele wishes to announce that the party who went into his barn last Monday night and stole his best set of harness failed to get the col-lars and if they come back he will make them a present of the collars. He also states these collars were Concord collars and good ones and are a good match for the harness.

75 YEARS AGO Wednesday, March 24, 1943A heavy snowfall accompanied by high wind last Thursday brought a late winter storm that threatened to block roads in spite of the imminence of spring Sunday, spring’s first day, was greeted by snow covered fields, while farmers waited to sow oats and town and country gardeners are champing at the bit to get their first planting of radishes, lettuce and carrots in the ground.

50 YEARS AGO Thursday, March 21, 1968Students from Sts. Peter and Paul of Seneca, Baileyville, St. Benedict, and Sabetha competed in an invitational speech festival at Sabetha High School on Saturday, March 16. Approximately seventy students competed in oral interpretation of poetry or prose, dramatic or humor-ous readings, memorized declamation, original oratory, impromptu speech, informative speech, and duet acting.Police Chief Ralph McCord warns farmers of the area to be on the alert or lightning rod salesmen reportedly operating in this area. He has received reports that some dishonest schemes have been used around the sale of this item to rural residents and suggests to check with authorities before purchasing so that the firm can be checked out.

25 YEARS AGO Wednesday, March 24, 1993When Sabetha High School senior Carrie Edelman was crowned the school’s homecoming queen last October, little did she known that five months later she would be named Kansas’ Homecoming Queen enroute to the national competition in July. Edelman, daughter of Gary and Marilyn Edelman of Sabetha, was crowned Kansas queen during a March 14 ceremony at the Marriot in Kansas City, Mo.

10 YEARS AGO Wednesday, March 19, 2008According to Troy Lay, Line Supervisor for the City of Sabetha, there will be a scheduled power outage from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 29, for the rectangular area formed by 6th Street to 14th Street and Main Street to Oregon Street. Work is required because of damage resulting from the Dec. 10-11 ice storm, Lay said.Keystone Pipeline of Canada has received a permit from the U.S. State Department to construct a $5.2 billion pipeline to transport crude oil from Canada through Kansas and several other states. The 30 inch pipeline will traverse Nemaha, Brown, Marshall and Doniphan coun-ties. The pipeline will carry crude oil from Saskatchewan and Manitoba through North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri on its way to refineries in Illinois and Oklahoma.

any of the activities.“We couldn’t do it without the

volunteers and generous spon-sors,” said Vicki Edelman, who has handled printing and adver-tising for the festival since its in-ception. “While a committee of about five plan it, a lot of people step up year after year to lead a station — and from the time they take that station, they totally take care of it.”

Teresa Deckinger’s mother, Esther White, was the New Life Festival’s first “snack lady” and passed the role on to her daugh-ter. White was, and Deckinger is a parishioner of the First Lutheran Church in Sabetha.

“The snacks always had an Easter message with them,” Deck-inger said. “She [Esther] believed you could witness anywhere and anytime, and witnessing to chil-dren was her passion.”

Deckinger took over snacks one year when her parents spent Easter in Texas, and has done it ever since.

“The New Life Festival is the best of Easter, better than Sunday

service for me,” Deckinger said. “You get to help tell the greatest story, and the kids and parents are so excited. It’s just electric!”

Something that both Edelman and Huneke say is really neat about the New Life Festival is how families from many differ-

ent faiths not only attend, but also volunteer to help.

Chris and Cherie Grimm, pa-rishioners of St. Augustine Catho-lic Church, say they have been at-tending or helping with the event since the first year.

“We believe this is a great event that teaches the kids about the real meaning of Easter, while having fun doing it,” the Grimms said. “With this being the church my

husband grew up in and his family still being members, we thought the first year we would check it out. It ended up being such a great event, we just wanted to be a part of it.”

“Our kids now look forward to it ever year,” the Grimms said. “They used to participate in it and now we all help with it. The kids have such a great time and learn so much about Easter.”

The government will not save you!

Genesis 1:1, 31, “In the be-ginning God created the heavens and the earth…

God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good.”

How did we get from there to the royal mess we have today? Each year in the United States, there are thousands of murders (if abortion is included, as it should be, the number is closer to a million murders each year). Each year, billions of dollars of property is reported stolen. Plus, the whole wave of sex crimes now being reported and immorality of all kinds is running rampant. How did it happen?

When God created the world, He created it to operate under His authority and by His law. But ever since the time of Adam and Eve, the people who God created de-cided they/we have a better way. Today we’re all trying to find where to put the blame for the mess we’re in. It’s a simple fact of reaping what has been sown.

The sexual revolution that be-gan in the 60s has wanted the benefits of marriage with no com-mitments and no consequences. That’s exactly what we got, but we’ve found there are conse-

quences – many hurting people, abuse, rape, molestation, diseases and broken families, etc.

Are there better ways for mar-riage and fam-ily than God’s standard of one man and one woman to-gether for life? Have we found a better method than husbands loving their wives, wives be-ing subject to their husbands, chil-dren obeying their parents and fa-thers bringing up their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 5:22-6:4)? We seem to think so, and we’re reap-ing the “benefits” of those “better” ways – one of which is children who learn to have no respect for others and no responsibility for their actions, and the crime we see today is a result.

With all the protests and de-bates, the bickering and strategiz-ing about how to get certain laws and policies passed, and how to get the “right” people elected to the right position, we’ve put way too much faith and responsibil-

ity on the government. These are problems that laws and politicians cannot fix.

When fingers are being pointed at who or what is to blame, the fingers all need to turn inward – we are the problem – all of us. The prob-lem is thinking we have a better way than God’s way. The prob-

lem is sin. This is a big problem because everyone is guilty. Even if someone believes they haven’t contributed to all the ills of soci-ety, you have still broken God’s law. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind… and love your neighbor as yourself – perfectly! (Matthew 22:37-40; 5:48) We’ve all failed!

The more immediate conse-quences are the things we see happening in our society today. The bigger problem is facing God on judgment day. The government will not save you. There is no law that can be passed that can deal with our problem of sin.

There is only one solution, and

it’s a drastic one. Jesus Christ, God the Son, had to enter His creation, be made in the likeness of men and surrender Himself to death on a cross (Philippians 2:7-8). He died there to take the punishment for sins He did not commit, was buried, and three days later He rose from the dead victorious over sin and death!

“He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36). “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

There’s always a lot of discus-sion about politics. Maybe we should put that on the shelf and start talking about the real solu-tion to the real problem. Jesus is Lord, and we have rebelled. The only solution is to repent and be-lieve in the Lord Jesus so we can be saved. What would really make a difference for our country are not new laws, but a Great Awaken-ing to return to God’s way that is revealed in His word.

Minister SpeaksBY: CASEY MCNERNEYGRACE BIBLE CHURCH

Pine wilt – breaking the disease cycle

One of the more devastat-ing tree issues I’ve seen over the years has to be

pine wilt. As its name implies, the disease attacks pine trees – Scots pine in particular – ultimately resulting in death of the tree. For landowners who have planted pine trees over the years, it’s been tough to see many of those windbreaks that so much time was spent planting, die in such a short time.

Often thought of as a disease, pine wilt is actually caused by the pinewood nematode, a microscop-ic worm. The nematode isn’t very mobile, but is readily spread by an insect called the pine sawyer beetle. The beetle transports the nematode, which then feeds on pine trees, multiplying in the tree’s resin canals, resulting in wilting and death in anywhere from sev-

eral weeks to several months. After both the nematode and

beetle overwinter in infected trees, they will start to emerge in early May, carrying nem-atodes to new trees and con-tinuing the cy-cle of infection. Eastern Kansas has been a hot-bed of activity for almost two decades now.

Infections are most visible from August to December. At first, you’ll notice needles that turn gray or green, then yellow and brown. Sometimes, the discolor-ation occurs branch by branch. Other times, the tree will turn brown all at once.

Resin production is greatly re-duced so wounds on infected trees won’t tend to ooze much if injured

with branches becoming dry or brittle. The ent i re t re e eventually suc-cumbs to the disease within a few months to a year.

Pine wilt can be confused

with other diseases. Pine tip blight is one, but it will tend to be con-fined to branch ends and generally results in death of only part of the tree. Pine wilt infected trees will result in death of the entire tree.

If you want to compare pine wilt symptomology to other diseases, check out Pine Disease in Kansas

by K-State Research and Extension Plant Pathologist Megan Kennelly. It has descriptions of our common pine diseases along with color im-ages to help with identification. It is available upon request from any District Office or found online at http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/bookstore/pubs/l722.pdf.

Infected trees should be cut down and removed by April first to allow time to destroy in-fected wood by May first when the beetles start to emerge. Cut the tree to the ground level (no stumps). Chip or burn the wood immediately to destroy the beetles and nematodes. Do not keep pine wood around for firewood.

Need help identifying the dis-ease you may dealing with? Con-tact a District Office for assistance or e-mail me at dhallaue@ksu.edu.

Do grapefruit juice and medicine mix?

Grapefruit juice and the actual grapefruit can be part of a healthful

diet — most of the time. It has vitamin C and potassium — substances you r body needs to work properly. But it is not good for you when it affects the way your medicines work.

For example, if you drink a lot of grapefruit juice while taking certain statin drugs to lower cho-lesterol, too much of the drug may stay in your body, increasing your risk for liver damage and muscle breakdown that can lead to kidney failure.

Drinking grapefruit juice several hours before or several hours after you take your medi-cine may still be dangerous. It is

best to avoid or limit consuming grapefruit juice or fresh grapefruit when taking certain drugs.

A s k y o u r pharmacist or other health care professional if you can have fresh grapefruit or grapefruit juice while using your medication. Read the medi-cation guide or

patient information sheet that comes with your prescription drug to find out if grapefruit juice affects your drug.

Also, read the label on an over the counter drug, which will say whether you shouldn’t have grape-fruit or other fruit juices with it. For more information, see this Food and Drug Administration Consumer Update at http://1.usa.gov/wE27vZ.

Power check and balance

Some of the most memorable situations from my elemen-tary school years involve

incidents on the playground dur-ing noon recess. Kickball was the go-to activity, and fairness was always subject to interpretation.

“Johnny” was the self-pro-claimed individual who had the “rules” when there was a proce-dural disagreement. These rules did not always seem to be fair or consistent. The one consistency was that they always benefited Johnny’s team. One particularly heated argument occurred when Johnny stated that a home run was invalid because it went too far — crossing an alley. This home run scored enough runs that it would have won the game for not-John-ny’s team.

This analogy comes to mind in light of a proposal to change the state’s constitution. The groundwork to change the rules of the game has already been es-tablished. This is an attempt to eliminate the power of the Kansas Supreme Court to enforce consti-

tutional compliance by the Kansas Legislature for the suitable educa-tion of Kansas kids.

A recent study was conducted and released by Lori Taylor, the researcher hired by the Kansas Legislature to evaluate the fund-ing level for educating kids in Kansas. Her study was very consistent with past studies. To attain the educational re-sults that have been identified as “suitable” through the Kansas con-stitution, the Kansas legislature will need to put more resources into education.

One controversial bill that has been proposed is to change the state constitution so that local boards of education are the only entities that are able to “close schools.” I am in favor of local control, but this constitutional amendment is not about local

control; it is about eliminating the consequences that can be enacted by the Kansas Supreme Court. In essence, it is saying that this amendment is needed so that if the constitution is not followed there will be no consequences.

Do I always agree with the court’s inter-p r e t a t i o n s ? No. I do have respect for the wisdom of our forefathers in crafting a con-stitution that has sustained the test of time. I do not agree with having a

kickball home run overturned be-cause it is “too far,” nor do I agree with changing the constitution because it doesn’t agree with my opinion. I don’t believe in chang-ing the rules just so my team will win – especially not something as monumental as the Kansas State Constitution.

Since the study authorized by

the legislature reflects additional money to be put into education, I expect additional effort to be put toward a constitutional amend-ment limiting the necessary “Check and Balance” power of the Kansas Supreme Court. This is when the kickball home run just became too far.

I agree with the Kansas Asso-ciation of School Boards’ Delegate Assembly position (see https://kasb.org/0109-2/) on the role of the courts: KASB supports the role of an independent judiciary in enforcing constitutional provi-sions. We oppose either changing the selection process for judges or limiting the ability of the courts to enforce those provisions, which would weaken the traditional sep-aration of powers in Kansas.

Repeated studies all indicate the Kansas Constitution is not being followed with the education funding formula. Does a consti-tutional amendment that reduces the check and balance of power in Kansas help Kansas kids?

InfluenzaSubmitted by Lyle Hinz

Genealogist at Brown County Genealogical Society

Fall is coming and that means “flu!” We have the flu shot now which helps

prevent a f lu epidemic. In our country’s past history epidem-ics of the flu, measles, smallpox, cholera, etc., were common. With modern medication these diseases are almost a “thing” of the past.

Missing ancestors? Do you have ancestors that just vanished? These epidemics had a great influ-ence on people and genealogists trying to trace them. It is often found that the people who disap-peared from county, state, etc., records are those who died in an epidemic or maybe moved away from an area where an epidemic took place.

The last big epidemic that af-fected our area of Brown County, Kansas, was in 1918. Then there was a world-wide epidemic of in-

fluenza. Records show that there were more people hospitalized during World War I with influen-za than from wounds, with an 80 percent death rate in some camps.

In Brown County, the epidemic hit in October of 1918. The city and county officials had to make rules and regulations to be fol-lowed to try and help contain this disease and prevent it spreading. They put the word out to use a handkerchief when coughing and sneezing; avoid crowds and do not spit on the floor or sidewalk. Do not use common drinking cups and towels. Avoid excessive fa-tigue, and most important see a doctor.

The motion picture shows were closed as were pool halls, church-es, lodges and all public gathering places. Even at Christmas time there was no church services and no holiday parties. Horton and Hiawatha had to put a curfew of 8:30 for anyone under the age of

16 years to be off of the streets.The doctors were to ensure that

if someone under their care was sick or even had died of any dis-ease that was dangerous to public health, that a red or yellow cloth or card not less than twelve inches square with the name of the dis-ease written or printed on it was to be placed on the front door or other conspicuous part of the building.

On Oct. 11, 1918, there were 19 cases of influenza reported in Brown County, Kansas, and by the 22nd of October there were more than 150 cases in the county. The newspapers were full of death no-tices and obituaries of the victims of the epidemic. A few of them were: Lucile Barnes, Albert Bend-er, F.M. Bevans, Louis Bichlmier, Roland Brewer, Carrie Brewster, Walter Brien, Earl L. Brim, Wil-trude Bruning, Emile Brunner, Mattie Brunt, Beulah Butterfield, Stella Clifton, Frederick R. Cole,

Clarence Culp, Don Devilbiss, Mildred Fordyce, Chrystal Hill, Leopold Hayum, Cecilia Herrick, Carl Hetherinton, Webster Housh, Ethel Jackson, Grace Jones, E.W. Joslin, Mrs. Frank Kessler, War-ren Kitymiller, George Kumpf, Elmer Larson, Everett Leach, Henry Lemon, Ross McGee, Mrs. A.M. Minnier, Mrs. Ed Noffsen-ger, Henry Orr, Carl Petty, Carl Prouty, Blanch Richards, Conna Schuetz, Rex Stewart, James Stra-han, George Strube, Ralph Syster, Raymond Taylor, Mrs. T. Tetyak, Cecil Troxel, J.H. Warfel, Bessie Wassenfallen, Elisabeth Wassen-fallen and Grace Spencer.

The first epidemic in this country was the Boston Measles in 1657. The last major epidemic was the Worldwide Influenza in 1918. We pray that there will be no more such epidemics in this country.

Strawberry planting and controlling weeds

New strawberry plantings should be set early in the growing season so that

mother plants become established while the weather is still cool.

The mother plants develop a strong root system during this cool period when soil tempera-tures are between 65 and 80 de-grees Fahrenheit.

The most ap-propriate plant-ing time is mid to late March in southern Kan-sas and late March to mid-April in the northern areas of the state.

Later in the season, runners and daughter plants develop.

The earlier the mother plants are set, the sooner the first daugh-ter plant will be formed and take root.

These first daughter plants will be the largest plants at the end of the growing season and will bear more berries per plant the follow-ing spring. When planting is done later, the higher temperatures stress the mother plants result-ing in reduced growth, weaker mother plants and delays in daughter plant formation. Fewer and smaller daughter plants pro-duce fewer berries, resulting in a smaller crop.

Remove all flowers during the first year. New plants have limited energy reserves that need to go toward establishing the mother plants and making runners rather than making fruit.

If fruit is allowed to develop the first year, the amount of fruit pro-duced the second year is drastical-ly reduced due to smaller, weaker daughter plants.

Research in Illinois has shown that the straw mulch should be removed from strawberry plants when the soil temperature is about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Fruit production drops if the mulch remains as the soil temperature increases.

There are likely to be freezing temperatures that will injure or kill blossoms, so keep the mulch between rows to conveniently re-cover the berries when freezing temperatures are predicted.

Fertilizing StrawberriesStrawberries (June-Bearing):

June-bearing strawberries are not fertilized in early spring as this can make the berries soft and more prone to rot. Fertilize at renovation and again in late Au-gust to early September. In most cases, strawberries need primarily nitrogen, so the recommendations

are for a high nitrogen fertil-izer such as a 27-3-3, 29-5-4, 30-3-3 or some-thing similar.

Though rec-ommended for lawns, these fertilizers will also work well

for strawberries as long as they do not contain weed killers or crabgrass preventers. Apply 1/2 cup for every 10 feet of row.

Strawberries (Everbearing or Day-Neutral): Fertilize in the spring as growth starts and again in early August. Use the rates recommended for June-bearing strawberries. Everbearing (day-neutral) strawberries are not renovated.

Controlling weeds in strawberries

Strawberries are one of the most popular fruits, but gardeners often have problems with weed control. Strawberries form a mat of plants, which makes hoeing difficult. Gardeners must pull weeds by hand or use herbicides.

Although there are no weed preventers available for homeown-ers to use on strawberries, Poast (sethoxydim), a grass-killing her-bicide, can be used after weedy grasses have emerged.

It can be sprayed directly over strawberries without harm but should not be applied within sev-en days of harvest. You can find Poast in Hi-Yield Grass Killer and Monterey Grass Getter.

Pressure cooker safety, play dough safety

The popularity of electric pressure cookers has brought up other safety

issues besides food safety. One is about using Pyrex inside the electric pressure cooker. Accord-ing to Corelle Brands, makers of Pyrex, it is not recommended to put this glass-ware in these appliances. The glass is not made to be put under pressure, and it could crack or explode. More information can be obtained by contacting Corelle Brands Consumer Care Center at 1-800-999-3436.

Homemade Play Dough Safety

Speaking of safety here is an-other area that can pose problems with safety – that of homemade play dough. If you or someone you know makes homemade play dough, it is important to remem-

ber that flour is a raw food and has been linked to serious food safety problems.

Iowa State U n i v e r s i t y Extension of-fers this recipe that is cooked to heat the dough.

Homemade Play Dough

2 cups flour1 cup salt

1 Tablespoon vegetable oil2-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar2 cups cold waterMix all of the ingredients to-

gether and cook over medium heat for about five minutes stir-ring constantly. When finished, it will be the consistency of mashed potatoes. Divide it into three to four equal portions and add a few drops of different colors of food coloring to each. Kneading the dough will distribute the color and make it smooth. Store it in a freezer bag or air tight container and it will keep for a long time.

What does it cost?

Factory A makes a gadget and they know down to the penny, what it costs

them to make that gadget. By knowing their costs, they can then price it to make a profit or try and decrease their costs to make an even bigger profit. It’s pretty cut and dried for them.

Farm A produces beef calves to sell each year. They have no idea what it costs them to produce a pound of beef.

Oh, they know their feed costs, land rent, animal health costs, but there are so many other things to consider. Machinery costs, de-preciation and labor, to name a few. Kevin Herbel, Kansas State University Farm Management Di-rector, will be speaking at 7 p.m. Monday, April 2, at the Glacial Hills Resource Center, 913 Dakota Street in Sabetha. He will tell us about the high, low and average cost herds in Kansas. We will dis-

cuss the benchmarks to stay prof-itable and how you can determine your cost of production. Grass tetany is also called grass staggers because when cattle become susceptible they start to stagger around and will go down on their side.

One of the first symptoms is general lack of coordina-tion. Most of the time tetany will happen when cattle are on lush forages. While transitioning from winter to spring, nutrients, includ-ing potassium, are being pumped up from ground through the roots to support plant growth.

When we have a few weeks of warm weather, those nutrients get pumped up to the plant that is above ground, actively growing.

But if a cold snap or cool weather sets in, growth pauses but those nutrients remain in the plant. With those warm weather/cold

weather cycles, the potassium levels can po-tential ly be-come twice the amount they normally are, leading to tet-any challenges when you turn your cows out

around May 1. Since tetany is a nutritional issue, it isn’t isolated to just the spring and summer when we turn cattle out to grass.

It can also happen while feed-ing hay. In that case, we have what might be referred to as “winter tetany” or “wheat pasture poison-ing” when cattle are fed harvested winter feeds that are high in po-tassium.

There is no perfect mineral for preventing grass tetany. If you have extremely high potassium level, it is important to realize that a higher percentage of magnesium doesn’t always mean it is better. Magnesium isn’t palatable, and cows will likely walk away from straight magnesium or miner-als with slightly higher levels of magnesium. Start increasing mag-nesium levels about two weeks before turning out to pasture so you can gauge how much the cow might eat when she is turned out on grass. Remove all other sources of salt so that forces the cows to get salt from the mineral if the bitterness of higher magnesium restricts intake to less than the re-stricted amounts. Feeding a high magnesium mineral during the high-risk periods such as spring and fall when the growing season can easily be disrupted will pre-vent the vast majority of issues.

Notes from USD No. 113BY: TODD EVANSSUPERINTENDENT

Industrial hemp, due process and chicken facilities

During the 2017 legisla-tive session, the House passed HB 2182 which

would allow farmers to grow in-dustrial hemp. I voted for this bill as I thought it was another tool for farmers. This crop does not contain the hallucinogenic that marijuana contains and will not cross pollinate in a way that pro-duces a product useful for mak-ing a person high. Regular testing required would ensure farmers are not growing marijuana.

The federal Agricultural Act of 2014 permits states to authorize their institutions of higher edu-cation or the state department of agriculture to grow or cultivate in-dustrial hemp for purposes of ag-ricultural or academic research or for programs to study the growth, cultivation, or marketing of indus-trial hemp. During the hearing before the House Committee on Commerce, Labor and Economic Development, Representative Wil-lie Dove, along with representa-tives from various agricultural associations, economic develop-ment corporations, and individual farmers, spoke in favor of the bill, stating industrial hemp, which historically has been grown in this country, would provide new crop opportunities and markets for the agriculture industry in Kansas.

On Wednesday, March 14, the Agriculture Committee heard tes-timony on SB 263, which would

allow the Kansas Department of Agriculture to cultivate and re-search the uses of industrial hemp. Principally, the research would be conducted in effort to analyze its required soils, growing condi-tions, harvest methods, and the potential for an industrial hemp market in Kansas.

Additional-ly, a pilot pro-gram in Russell County would be established to study its effect on eco-nomic devel-opment and the development of industrial hemp products. Rep-resentatives Dove, Steven Johnson and Troy Waymaster expressed their support, as well as the De-partment of Agriculture, the Si-erra Club, small businesses, and private citizens. Data was included that showed hemp uses 66 percent less water than corn, requires vir-tually no pesticides or fertilizers, and has great potential to improve agricultural and economic activ-ity in rural Kansas.

Opponents argued that the provisions of the bill would lead to the legalization of marijuana, while others asserted that this bill would not go far enough concern-ing hemp. HB 2182 differs from SB 263, in that SB 263 solely allows

the Department of Agriculture — either alone or in coordination with a state institution of higher education — to grow, cultivate and research industrial hemp. The bill has yet to be considered by the Committee of the Whole.

On Wednesday, March 7, the House voted 73-48 on HB 2757.

This bill man-dates teacher c o n t r a c t s contain due process stan-dards. I voted against the bill as I believe this should be han-dled locally by each district school board.

No evidence was presented that substantiated this bill was needed. Local elected officials are better qualified to make the decision of which teachers are best for their districts students. This bill would grant due process for Kan-sas teachers who have completed two to three consecutive years of employment, and have been of-fered a subsequent contract.

On Tuesday, March 13, the House voted on SB 405 which clarifies animal conversion units for poultry facilities with dry manure systems. This bill would establish the animal unit mea-surement calculation for chicken facilities that use a dry manure

waste system as the number of lay-ing hens or broilers, multiplied by 0.003. The bill also would re-quire a confined chicken facility to obtain a federal permit if the facility uses a dry manure system and confines 125,000 or more broilers or 82,000 or more laying hens. I voted in favor of the bill as I believe it is a matter of local control. Some counties want the opportunity to allow these facili-ties in their area. The bill passed the house by a vote of 84-37.

HB 2516 passed the house on final action Thursday, March 15. The bill provides immunity from civil liability for damage to a motor vehicle under specified cir-cumstances when a person enters a vehicle, by force or otherwise, to remove a vulnerable person or animal. I voted in favor of the bill; however, I do not believe it will make a difference in saving lives. Any person who will see someone in distress and goes to their res-cue will do so without consider-ing the consequences. There are others who will not help another no matter how much the state as-sures them they will not be held accountable for damages.

I hope you have enjoyed this ar-ticle. Contact me at 785-296-7665 or randy.garber@house.ks.gov. Un-til next time, may the blessings of God be yours.

The Young family donates plush stuff animals to the Storming Vail Pediatric ICU on Sunday, March 11. Pictured are Pediatric ICU staff with Trevor, Erin and Zoe Young. This is the second donation made through “Project Mya.” One hundred plush animals have been donated so far, and the family plans to continue to make a donation each March in honor of Mya Young, who passed away at seven months of age on October 16, 2016, after a brief illness.

Submitted | Jolene Wiltz

The backside of the tag reads: “Mya was born with a fairly common issue called Tracheomalacia, commonly referred to as a floppy airway. This issue made it very difficult for her to fight off viruses. Mya was hospitalized and put on a vent to assist in her breathing while her body fought a virus. Mya’s parents had brought a stuff elephant that she liked to cuddle from home. The little stuffed animal stayed with Mya through all her tests and helped prop the tubes used for her breathing. It was very comforting as a grandparent to see the little animal cuddled next to Mya as opposed to rolled up blankets. It seems like every RN and RT would comment on how handy that little animal was when they were working with Mya. This inspired us to want all kiddos int he ICU to have a little soft friend to cuddle. The plush friends donated by Project Mya will be delivered to select Pediatric ICU Departments on Mya’s birthday every year. For more information, email projectmyajae@gmail.com.

Berwick Home Benefit FCESubmitted by Edith Ketter

Members of the Berwick Home Benefit FCE met at the home of Norma Brownlee on Monday, March 12.

Eight members answered roll call “A fact you know about the opioid crisis or do you have a question about it.”

Judy Emert announced that she had sent a donation from us to the Greater Sabetha Community Foundation.

Diane Hanzlicek gave the coun-cil report. Northeast area spring council meeting will be Thursday, April 5, in Manhattan. District Recognition Day will be Tuesday, April 24, in Atchison.

Roma McCorkle showed the tray favors she had made for the patients at the Sabetha Commu-nity Hospital.

Brownlee presented the lesson “Opioid Crisis.” Opioids are a class of drugs that include pow-erful prescription pain relievers and the illegal drug heroin. Pre-scription medications can be an important treatment for many

people, but opioids can also be very dangerous and addictive.

Heroin, like prescription opi-oids, causes an addictive eupho-ria that can lead to addiction and overdose. Unlike prescription opioids, heroin is generally con-sidered easier to access, because it does not require a medical visit, prescription, or interaction with a pharmacist to obtain.

Fentanyl is the next drug to lead America’s opioid crisis. It is a legal, synthetic opioid that is 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 times more potent than heroin. Because of its strength, it is highly desirable to those who are abusing opioids. Fentanyl can be injected, snorted, smoked, taken orally, or spiked onto blotter paper.

Marjean Moore presented the lesson, “Make Your Day a Little Smoother.” We learned that even if we do not have time for a meal we can have time for nutrition with a smoothie.

The next meeting will be at the home of Edith Ketter on Monday, April 9.

Elizabeth Ketner read the invitation information for the Tuesday, April 10, meeting. Peggy Brant shared information about St. Patrick’s Day. Barb Klein received the door prize of a sham-rock plant.

The feature was by Michele Tedman of Sabetha. She shared information about the importance of the honey bee. She and her hus-band Matt have several bee hives and collect the honey to sell.

One third of all food is polli-nated by honey bees. They are the most prolific and productive pol-linators. She told about the three kinds of bees (queen, drone and worker) and what their jobs were. The honey bee is the state insect of Kansas, and the comment was made that Sabetha teacher Wilma Beer spearheaded the campaign to

get the honey bee to be the state insect.

The speaker was Lori Gottula from Falls City. She spoke about breaking the chains of alcohol and pain killer addiction. She shared her testimony. In 2015, Gottula submitted an article to Guide-posts magazine and was one of the 12 winners out of 4,000 ar-ticles submitted. She spent a week in New York. Many ladies remembered reading it. She has just finishing writing a book that she hopes to have published. Many were touched by her story. The next meeting will be held at 9 a.m. Tuesday, April 10, at Buzz Café. Reservations can be made by calling Marcia Adams at 785-284-2299. The cost of the brunch is $8.25.

The theme is “An Eye to the Future.” The feature will be given by Dr. Susanna Whittaker of Sabetha, and the speaker will be Donna Hillis of Wichita. The title of her presentation will be “Changing Your Life From Ordi-nary to Extraordinary.”

CLUB NEWS

Nemaha County DemocratsSubmitted by JoLene Rae Bloom

ChairpersonThe Nemaha County Demo-

crats met Saturday, March 17, at the Seneca City Library. Attend-ees signed a card recognizing Jeff Steinlage, Nemaha Valley High School graduate, whose current Army job involves Arlington Cemetery in Washington , D.C.

Participants were asked to sign campaign petitions for two Democratic candidates: Paul Davis of Lawrence, for United States Congress, No. 2 District; and Mel Baker of Seneca, for Kan-sas House, No. 62 District. Davis has two Democratic opponents announced, but not filed. Baker has no Democratic opponent, but would face Randy Garber in the general election. Dustin Brink-man of Holton has announced his intent to run against Dennis Pyle and has filed for the Kansas Sen-ate, District No. 1, for the 2020 election.

Reports by Chair JoLene Bloom included Washington Days cau-cuses and the forum of the seven Democratic Gubernatorial can-didates at the lunch on Saturday. Sherri Grogan of Leavenworth is the Second District chair as the past chair is working for the Brian McClendon of Lawrence, co-cre-ator of Google and UBER, in his campaign for Secretary of State.

Vice Chair Don Honig reported his attendance at Kansas Demo-cratic Party training for precinct committee members, his invita-tion to Republican Ray Shinn to appear at area high schools and to invite teens to register to vote, and representing our group at the Feb-ruary meeting of Marshall County Democrats.

The group is finalizing plans for all Democrats who will file and appear on the Aug. 6 ballot to be

hosted at a dinner in late June, and primary election winners would be hosted again in late September or early October. A location, date and caterer need to be chosen.

The group spoke of recent mass media and social media commu-nications on content, truth and opinions. The May 19 agenda will include election of a secretary and a discussion of summer events such as parades and celebrations at which we could appear to en-courage registration of all voters and then encouragement of eli-gible citizen to vote on Aug. 7 and Nov. 6. The meeting adjourned at 12:20 p.m.

sports&recreationShed those wintertime blues

Maybe I am just get-ting older and less tolerable to the cold-

er weather, but this past winter seemed very cold to me. I love the winter weather, but all of those days when the wind chill was well below zero began to wear on me just a little.

I guess if I had to analyze it, I would have to say that it was the wind that began to grate on me. I am not a fan of blowing wind and it seems that ever since last summer, we have had our share of extremely windy days. Couple that with cold winter weather and it makes for some miserable days.

Spring is just around the cor-ner and with it, hopefully, comes some much needed moisture and some warmer temperatures. It is

time to get out there and take a walk in the woods! What can one do right now at this time of the year when we find ourselves in-between seasons? Upland bird hunting and waterfowl hunting are over. Turkey season is still a month away. How about doing some shed hunting? I know this may not sound that exciting, but it is actually quite fun.

Over the years, I have found the majority of my shed deer antlers while I was turkey hunting. I need to go out earlier so I can concen-trate on my turkey hunting! The deer in our area seem to shed their antlers in late January and into February. In case you did not know it, whitetail deer bucks shed their headgear every year and begin to grow new antlers in the

late spring. For some unknown reason, we hunters have this fasci-nation with antlers whether they are still fastened to the animal or have fallen off and are laying on the ground. It is just part of our makeup!

I would hate to have to count how m a ny shed antlers I have found while wander-ing around the woods with a shotgun on my shoulder and a turkey permit in my pocket. Some of them are really small, and some of them have been from monster bucks. It is always a thrill for

me to spot a shed antler on the ground waiting to be picked up, no matter what the size.

Shed hunting has become a sport of its own. People now train dogs to locate sheds for them. The dog can cover so much area that your odds of locat ing sheds goes up significantly.

So where do you look for

sheds? It stands to reason that you need to locate areas where the deer are hanging out. This would be areas where the deer are congregating to feed and where

they bed during the day. Check-ing out those areas and the trails that connect these areas is a good place to start.

I would have to say that the majority of the sheds that I have found have been along fence lines. Finding spots where the bucks have to jump over a fence on a trail to get to a feeding area or bedding area are key spots. The force of the deer hitting the ground must jar the antler off the head.

If you are going to head out to hunt sheds, be prepared to do a lot of walking. You have to cover a lot of ground to locate them. Contrary to what a lot of the ex-perts tell you, there are not the deer numbers in our woods that we are accustomed to, so you will

have to work a little harder to lo-cate these woodland treasures.

You need to train yourself to look for the tines of the antler and not the whole rack. Sometimes the sheds are partially covered with leaves so training yourself to look for the small tines might pay dividends. It may sound silly to attempt to locate sheds, but there have been some sheds found over the years that will fetch a hand-some price on the shed market.

Believe it or not, there is a North America Shed Hunters Club where records are kept of shed antlers that have been mea-sured and scored. Shed hunting has become big business. So, get out there and shed those winter-time blues.

4-H CLUB NEWS

Fairview Willing WorkersSubmitted by Jake Rieger

Club ReporterThe Fairview Willing Workers

4-H Club met on Sunday, March 11, for their monthly meeting.

The members met at the Fair-view Community Building. Mem-bers gathered a little early to final-ize plans for the upcoming Easter Egg Hunt. It will take place at the Fairview Park on Friday, March 30. There were 11 members pres-ent and the theme for this month’s meeting was “Parents Lead the Meeting” and “Wear Green and win a Prize.” The parents acted as leaders for each child’s office. I must say the parents did a great job! Several of members also wore green and enjoyed the prizes.

The meeting was full of great

information. We congratulated the club for winning Top Blue ribbon at County Club Day for song. The club will compete on Saturday, March 18, at Regional Club Day in Atchison. Also, Me-gan Brockhoff got a blue ribbon for her trumpet solo.

Other items discussed were Beef weigh-in, Sheep/Swine/goat weight-in, Better Beef Days, and the upcoming Spotlight Auction.

The club voted to donate money to the Fair Board for replacing the Hog Barn roof in Horton.

We also discussed purchasing some new 4-H club signs to be put on the highway on each end of Fairview.

After the meeting, we were for-tunate to have some great project

talks. Flint Lowdermilk gave a great talk that included pictures of his last year’s bucket calf. Jake Rieger presented some informa-tion about “Ground Beef,” stat-ing its the most economical and popular meat eaten by Americans. Avery Baumgartner presented a program about “Germs” dem-onstrating how to properly wash your hands and demonstrating the results with a black light.

To top off the meeting, Hunter Lowdermilk discussed “Animal Rumen” and told the club how di-gestion works and how nutrients are broken down and absorbed. She had a live demonstration awaiting outside.

She had a cow stomach in which we could visualize and touch. She showed us the four stomachs and how the food in each stomach looked like.

The meeting was concluded by refreshments and visiting!

WETMORE HIGH SCHOOL

‘Cheer’ful beginningsSubmitted by Lauryn Scott

WHS CorrespondentThis coming April, tryouts for

Wetmore High School’s 2018-19 cheer squad will be held. Ac-cording to Cheer Sponsor Anissa Bloom, 17 students have indicated interest in being on the squad.

Before the tryouts, cheer prac-tices will be held after school in order for students to learn cheers and a dance for the tryouts. The new squad will consist of eight members.

According to Abbigail Shu-maker, a freshman, who was on the 2017-18 cheer squad, “Before tryouts I am practicing my sharp-ness and execution of cheers. Be-ing a returner, I am focusing on more difficult cheers to use in the tryouts.”

“The new cheer squad can look forward to bringing in new cheers and having many new and exciting experiences,” said current cheerleader Ashley Flowers.

Alyssa Davis informs the hope-

ful tryout members, “To be a cheerleader you need to be able to lead, you need to be hardworking, and you need to be determined.”

Coach Bloom would like to see an easier transition for the begin-ning of the year.

“I would like to be able to per-form more stunts with the new cheer squad,” she said.

As many of the practices are scheduled over the summer and throughout the school year, the incoming cheer squad will need

to be dedicated to the sport and its requirements.

The list of the 2018-19 cheer squad will be available within one week of the tryouts. Being a cheer/yell leader allows students to become a part of a new family. The teammates they have throughout the year will continue to encour-age and support them throughout the rest of their life.

Wetmore junior class takes trip to Mabee LibrarySubmitted by Alena Pfrang

WHS Student CorrespondentLast Thursday, March 13, the

Wetmore junior class left at 9 a.m. to take a bus down to Washburn University’s Mabee Library. The purpose of the trip was to obtain written and electronic resources for their English class term papers.

“The staff at the library was in-credibly helpful and very friendly,” said English teacher Linda Boyd.

Although the class is small,

there were a variety of topics chosen for the term papers. The subjects range from jazz theory to exorcism.

Seth Shumaker is excited about his topic.

“Jazz is the most extensive mu-sical topic there is,” he said. “No one understands the amount of work and knowledge that goes into jazz.”

Some students decided to take a historical approach by research-

ing Abraham Lincoln’s role in the Civil War, as well as the dark side of Thomas Edison. Lauryn Scott is investigating questionable tactics of the CIA, while Cole Strathman is writing about gun control.

Some of the students found plenty of great books to use as re-sources, while others didn’t have as much luck and were forced to change their subjects.

One such case was Curtis Bloom having to change his sub-

ject to Abraham Lincoln due to the lack of resources associated with heart defects in children. The whole process was both exciting and frustrating, as students felt they didn’t have enough time in the library.

Finally, after a long and tire-some day, the junior class headed back to Wetmore to begin their real work – researching and writ-ing their papers.

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.

1 (16.5 oz) tube of refrigerated sugar cookies1/4 cup of flourOne container of pink frostingMini marshmallowsAssorted sizes of sprinkles

Knead the cookie dough and flour together until well mixed. Shape into a 9 x 1.5 inch log and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and cut dough into 33 slices. Separate 11 of those slices and cut each into 4 wedges. Shape each wedge into an oval to use as bunny feet. Bake all cookies at 350° for 8 to 12 minutes. Cool completely. Frost a whole cookie and 2 bunny feet. Place the feet on the bottom of the cookie. Put a mini marshmallow in the center for the tail. Decorate the feet with sprinkles to look like paw prints. Repeat with the rest!
