PRAIRIE HILLS USD NO. 113

District makes quick work of principal hireAMBER DETERS

A change in leadership is complete at Axtell Public School, following the resigna-tion of current APS Principal Larry Geist.

The Prairie Hills USD No. 113 Board of Education accepted Geist’s resignation at a special board meeting held Tuesday, March 21. By the end of the week, a new principal had been

hired — Jayson Tynon, current APS K-12 physical education teacher and activities director.

Superintendent Todd Evans announced Friday, March 24, that Tynon has accepted a con-tract for the principal position for the 2017-18 school year.

“I am excited about his vision and the leadership that he can provide to enhance the educa-tional experience in Axtell,” Evans said. “I am also excited about his contribution to the

USD No. 113 administrative team. Please help me welcome him to his new leadership role.”

GEIST RESIGNATIONAt the February School Board

meeting, all administrator contracts except Geist’s were renewed, though the reasoning was not made public. The board then voted to renew Geist’s con-tract at the March 13 School

SPRING PLAY

Wetmore High School to present comedySUBMITTED BY LINDA BOYD

Wetmore High School will present the Tim Kelly comedy, “Attack of the Zombies,” at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 30, and Friday, March 31. The storyline centers around four teenagers planning a school dance in an old abandoned and reportedly haunted farmhouse, only to dis-cover that the farmhouse really is indeed haunted.

“This is unlike any show I have ever directed,” said Linda

Boyd, Wetmore High School English teacher. “It’s funny, but at the same time, there are always two questions the audi-ence will need to ask themselves, ‘What is reality,’ and ‘What will happen next?’ The students have really thrown themselves into this play and we have had a great deal of fun rehearsing.”

Senior Dez Fund will be creat-ing the special zombie make-up for the show.

“I love creating scary make-

up, so I was so glad when this show was selected for our spring play,” Fund said.

The following students are involved in the play: freshmen Lindsey Barrett, Savannah Bry-ant, Ashley Flowers, Dakota Johnson and Kevin Shumaker; sophomores Mariah Rameriz, Sophia Amon, Katie Vance, Ally Davis, Cooper Duryea, Alyssa Montgomery, Britton Myers, River Shuler, Joel Hutfles and Lauryn Scott; juniors Faith

Bratcher, Robbie Ballenger, Beau Henninger, Jill Henry, McKayla Henry, Chanler Morfitt, Jossie Shumaker, Alena Pfrang and Kyler Vance; seniors Aaron Achten, Rachel Bloom, Dez Fund and Dakota McQueen.

Advance sale ticket prices are $6 for adults and $4 for senior citizens and students. Tickets will be $1 more at the door. Pa-trons are encouraged to call 785-866-2860 for more information.

POWER RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENTS

Westar continues reliability upgrades

KRISTA WASINGER

More progress has been made on power infrastructure in the Sabetha, Bern and Seneca area. Westar Energy has been working to improve the reliability in the area for more than a year.

The East Nemaha Substation, south of 144th Road on the west side of W Road, was completed in November. This sub-station serves all but a two-mile stretch, which will be completed in 2018, along with a new 115 kV transmission line feed-ing east out of the new substation. This final two-mile stretch of new distribution line will be built onto the new transmis-sion line. This will run along 144th Road from W Road to Y Road.

“It is a later phase in the project, because we had to make some route adjustments that affected it,” said Westar spokeswoman Gina Penzig. “With the progress made so far, service to the area is more reliable. The area is less susceptible to outages and equipment has been installed to lessen the impact of outages by reducing the number

of customers affected and the length of outages.”

In mid-March, Westar Energy crews also started building four miles of new 34.5 kV line to improve the loop feed into Sabetha. This adds a second route to de-liver electricity into the area.

“Several miles of the existing line are inaccessible during bad weather, so the line is being relocated to the road and the old line will be removed,” Penzig said.

New equipment has been installed that will allow quicker restoration of the line feeding Sabetha – should a problem occur. The equipment can be remotely operated to switch Sabetha to the alternate feed, if necessary.

Work on the line in and around Bern has been completed. Equipment in the Bern substation also has been updated. Crews are now working on the line west of Bern. It is expected to be complete within the next three weeks. Crews then will be-gin work on a new 34.5 kV line going south along Kansas Highway 63.

KANSAS SCHOOL FINANCE

School funding bill hits committee

AMBER DETERS

A new school funding bill is now on the table of the K-12 Bud-get Committee. Revamping K-12 school funding was already on the Kansas Legislature’s “To Do” list this session, and the Kansas Su-preme Court’s early March ruling imposing a June 30 deadline to create an adequate funding for-mula has only fanned the flame.

The funding bill — HB 2410 — is set for continuing hearings and discussions at the committee level this week. It is expected to be ad-vanced by the House K-12 Budget Committee to the full House by next week.

HB 2410 would increase public education funding by $80 million per year. According to estimates by the Kansas State Department of Education, the state would pay $3.161 billion on public schools next year under the new plan — as it currently stands — as compared to the $3.081 billion it is spending this year.

HB 2410 establishes “Founda-tion Aid” for each district based on enrollment, with an immedi-ate increase in the base aid from $3,852 per student to $4,170 per student, plus numerous weight-ings. This base aid would increase each year based upon the Midwest consumer price index for the pre-ceding year.

As with any funding bill, there are bound to be districts that win and districts that lose according to the adjustments.

Prairie Hills USD No. 113 would look to gain, in Foundation Aid, $277,819 — or about $261 per stu-dent. Other nearby districts would also see increases in Foundation Aid, formerly known as Base State Aid. Hiawatha would gain about $603 per student, Nemaha Central would gain about $213 per stu-dent and Vermillion (Centralia-Frankfort) would gain about $735 per student. On the other hand, Holton would look to lose about

$543 per student, and Jackson Heights would lose about $443 per student.

While this Foundation Aid is generated from a statewide mill levy, local districts also would be required to raise local taxes to provide the local share — 20 percent — of “Foundation Aid,” $1,150 per student. Additionally, districts would then have the op-tion to raise additional money for “Local Enhancement Budget” of up to $288 per student, and “Local Activities Budget” of up to $212 per student.

Local taxes would be subsi-dized with state aid, equalizing total funding so that taxpayers in lower-wealth districts would not have to pay higher tax rates in order to generate funding levels similar to that of higher-wealth districts.

Of note, HB 2410 in its current form includes an adjustment to fully fund all-day kindergarten by the 2019-20 school year. Kin-dergarten students currently are counted as 1/2, so this change would double kindergarten fund-ing.

REACTIONS“With so many winners and los-

ers, I think that there will be some political challenges with passage of the bill in its current form,” said Todd Evans, USD No. 113 Super-intendent. “But I appreciate the work of the legislators who were willing to roll out a proposal. Too many times we just hear from crit-ics in the legislature who are not providing potential solutions.”

Evans also said that one of the comments circulating within su-perintendent circles is that the for-mula for determine FTE — Full Time Equivalency enrollment — is too complicated.

“The new formula [proposed] appears to be more complicated than the previous formula,” Ev-

GIRL SCOUTS

Feels like home

AMBER DETERS

Upon learning that the local Girl Scouts were in need of a lo-cation to call “home,” the Albany Historical Society Board of Direc-tors took quick action.

The Girl Scouts — which in-cludes approximately 40 local girls — currently occupy a room in the Midtown Building. However, the City of Sabetha has agreed to turn the building over to a local Health and Wellness Committee. The Health and Wellness Committee plans to demolish the building and rebuild in its place a private Health and Wellness Center.

As a result of the building changing hands, the Girl Scouts were notified in early March that the room needed to be va-cated within 30 days, leaving the Girl Scouts without a place to store items owned by the various troops, or to hold meetings.

A former Girl Scout leader, Sherri McNary, contacted the Albany Historical Society and let the board know about the Scouts’ need. The Albany board met March 6 and voted unanimously to allow Girl Scouts to use the community building at Albany, as well as the Albany grounds.

“We have a very successful rela-tionship with the Busy Jayhawkers 4-H Club that we let use our facili-ties,” said Alex Dawdy, president of the Albany Historical Society Board of Directors. “We’ve also been looking at ways to get more use and visibility to the public. When Girl Scouts asked us, we thought that was a win-win for both groups.”

Joy Wilcock, Girl Scout Troop 7200 Leader and Service Unit No. 714 Coordinator, said she is “thrilled” about Albany’s decision and generosity.

“I am so happy they have stepped up to the plate,” Wilcock said. “Albany offers a really cool

125 YEARS AGOFriday, March 25, 1892

Opinion—The match trust has gone to pieces. That is one good thing about trusts, their tendency to go to pieces. While the legislators are legislating and the orators are orating, and the resolutioners are resolut-ing, the trust in which they are interesting themselves generally falls apart. The American doctrine of “every man for himself ” has broken more trusts to pieces than all the outside pressure—K. C. Star.H. M. Johnson, who was for a long time superintendent of the Holton schools, and who was a pleasant member of the editorial company that went to Colorado last summer, has been given a position in the Washington, D. C. high school. This school which is supported directly by the appropriations of congress is said to be the best in the United States. Prof. Johnson occupies the chair of physics in this school.There will be more building in Sabetha the coming season than the town has seen for the past fifteen years. Several handsome residences are already contracted for, and ground has been broken for four or five brick blocks on Main Street. Contractors and builders look happy. The new school building added to these will make the town what it has never been, the equal of the surrounding country. The little sleet storm we had here was, as usual, much worse farther north. At Omaha street car traffic was blocked. The greater part of the country up north was covered with about eight inches of snow.

100 YEARS AGOThursday, March 29, 1917

Dr. Dillingham was in Fort Leavenworth, Monday. Four hundred citizens have been at the fort for three months preparing for soldier-ing. In this short time these men have been so trained that they are capable of commanding a company of soldiers. They will be made second lieutenants in the event of war and will organize companies in their own home communities.Dr. Ross has done splendid work as mayor. It is so easy to find fault. Remember, please, that Sabetha has advanced as never before during the past few years. The city’s work has been done and done well. Horton is getting metropolitan. Adam and Glen Cramer are plastering a handsome apartment house there which is being built by Alfred Fete after the Swiss plan of architecture.

75 YEARS AGOWednesday, March 25, 1942

The friends of Vile Earl Douglas of Sabetha, who drove an oil transport were shocked to hear of his tragic death, which occurred near Flor-ence, Kas. late Friday afternoon. Mr. Douglas had been home Thurs-day, leaving here that evening. He was employed by Clyde Haynes of Chapman, Kas.Lt. William Vohl, former Sabethan now on active duty at Ft. Leaven-worth, spent a 24-hour leave in Sabetha Saturday evening and Sunday. He has been in the post hospital for the past two weeks having trouble with an eye that was injured some time ago. He is improved and believes glasses will cure his trouble.The annual Junior High School play will be presented tomorrow, Thurs-day evening at the Sabetha City Hall auditorium at eight o’clock. There are nine characters in the play, which is entitled “The Haunted Tea Room.” Plenty of thrills are promised the audience. Admission is a dime.

50 YEARS AGOTuesday, March 28, 1967

Farmers in this area supporting the National Farmers Organization milk holding action did their parts last Tuesday, dumping milk on the ground in the Bancroft area. On the Don Henry farm nine miles north and nine miles west of Holton more than a dozen milk producers met Tuesday afternoon to dump nearly 4,500 gallons of milk. A crowd of more than 100 men and women gathered to watch the activity. The dumping started when Henry opened the valve on a bulk tank in his milk house and let the milk run out on the floor. Paced by the repeat victory of their great senior distance ace, Rodney Wenger, the Sabetha Bluejays completed their highest finish in the history of the Kansas State Indoor Track Meet held on the Kansas State University boards in Manhattan Saturday. Wenger successfully defended his class B indoor mile crown with a clocking of 4.33.1 and then a short time later returned to finish in second place in the open 880 run with a time of 2.06.7.


The final contract between Sabetha and the Multipurpose Small Lakes Program of the Kansas Conservation Commission has been signed by both parties and a copy returned to the city in preparation for the Pony Creek Lake project, according to city administrator Ted Hayden. Money to be received for the project still will have to wait for the final approval of testing in January that showed the area is environmentally safe for the project, Hayden said.Old Man Winter got in the last word before spring with two more snows. About 2 inches of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 17-18, preceded Wednesday night’s snowstorm that left 2-3 inches.


The Sabetha High School drama department will present the spring play production, JT and the Pirates at 7:30 p.m. this Friday and Saturday, March 30 and 31. The story: When Jenny Taylor (JT) stumbles upon a magical book in her school library, she is transported into the past and finds herself surrounded by pirates and traveling to the tropical island of Lunamoona. JT manages to travel back to her own time, but the meddling and fun-loving swashbucklers have come along. April Fool’s Day, a time for pulling harmless pranks on gullible victims is university popular. These hoaxes range from subtle stunts pulled on unknowing victims by family and friends to false stories being spread by media organizations in print, on the air, and on the internet. Ac-cording to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, the history behind April Fool’s Day is a little gray, although many people agree that the tradition began in 1582 when France switched to the Gregorian calendar and moved New Year’s Day from March 25 back to Jan. 1. Prior to this change, the New Year’s celebration had lasted a full week from March 25 to April 1. Those who were unaware of the change were called April fools.

Neighbor-2-Neighbor: the ‘Susie’ every town needs

A 9-year-old boy is sitting at his desk and sud-denly, there is a puddle

between his feet and the front of his pants are wet.

He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened.

It’s never happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they’ll never speak to him.

The boy believes his heart is go-ing to stop. He puts his head down and prays this prayer: “Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now!” He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.

As the teacher is walking to-ward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water.

Susie trips in front of the teach-er and dumps the bowl of water in the boy’s lap.

The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying to him-self, “Thank you, Lord! Thank

you, Lord!” Now instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy is the object of sympathy.

The teacher rushes him down-stairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out. All the other children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk.

Final ly, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers, “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?” Susie whispers back, “I wet my pants once too.”

All of us go through good and bad things in life. Let us always remember how we felt when we were in a hard place in life.

And then help us to understand another’s situation and when giv-en an opportunity to help some-one who needs it, we step forward.

The Greater Sabetha Commu-nity Foundation partners with or-

ganizations. One such program is Neighbor-2-Neighbor.

This Sabetha-based program seeks to connect individuals, churches and organizations with

families or in-dividuals who need assistance.

Ne i g h b or-2 - N e i g h b o r projects range from cleanup projects (gar-bage bags, mops and buckets) and home re-

pairs (hammers, saws and nails), to financial assistance. Here are a few examples:

• Yard cleanup and debris re-moval, trimming bushes, land-scaping, etc.

• Home repairs such as fixing doors and windows, repairing porches, repairing siding, paint-ing, etc.

• Support for families experi-encing hardship after a fire, medi-cal emergency, etc.

Sometimes all it takes is a little elbow grease, a few nails, some

paint and a hand up when tragedy strikes to make someone’s life bet-ter and home a little nicer.

Serving individuals in our community in this way, Neigh-bor-2-Neighbor is a great way to elevate people who need a hand, to express care and compassion for individuals, while also improving a whole community.

There are multiple ways that projects can be funded. Neighbor-2-Neighbor funds are available through donations made to the program via the Greater Sabetha Community Foundation (www.sabethafoundation.org). Some projects are eligible for Thrivent Action Team funds.

Churches, civic organizations and individuals can also fund projects.

It depends on each individual situation and need.

Be a part of an organization that is stepping forward in our com-munity to be that “Susie,” who remembers and is there to help when bad things happen in life. Make the call to make a differ-ence: 785-285-1501.

Solutions focus

There are many similarities and differences between the field of education and

that of the private sector. One similarity is that employee

complaints without having a focus on finding solutions have a nega-tive impact on the productivity of the workplace.

As Prairie Hills USD No. 113 begins a new accreditation phase, one area of focus will be on con-tinuing to create the most positive learning environment possible for our students.

As we work toward this goal, it is important to identify actions to take and past practices that do not contribute to a positive envi-ronment.

In reflecting on a recent situa-tion in our district, I had the re-alization that I, along with others dealing with a specific problem,

were spending almost all of our time and energy on the problem. In other words, our focus was on complain-ing about the challenges and not on finding a solution.

Once we rec-ognized this, we were able to move forward to identifying several options to improve the problem.

That was an example of an area for improvement at the leadership level. With a conscious effort and from positive leadership, we can make improvements. We can be intentional with our conversations and our time toward finding so-lutions.

When we are not focused on so-

lutions, we are complaining. This is not improving the problem; in fact, it often makes the workplace

less productive by spreading negativity to co-workers and to other prob-lems.

One of au-thor Jon Gor-don’s books is the “No Com-plaining Rule.”

Gordon suggests that organiza-tions foster a sense of positivity by establishing the expectation that the right to complain is earned when a viable solution is offered. “Complain” to the person or peo-ple who can make a difference and provide a solution.

Gordon’s emphasis on the solu-tion elevates it above the problem.

Complaints without solutions are without purpose and can actually cause physical and organizational harm.

In all workplaces, we have a re-sponsibility to each other to ac-tively search for solutions. Work with those who have control over situations.

The idea is that if we are dis-satisfied with a person or situa-tion, do something about it. Be positive about your power to own and improve a situation.

As we continue to build our cul-ture of positivity, it is going to be important to be solutions focused. It is also going to be important to intentionally combat purposeless negativity.

Identify your problems, but give your power and energy to solu-tions. -Anthony Robbins

Notes from USD No. 113BY: TODD EVANSSUPERINTENDENT

Added sports prove beneficialAccording to the National Federation of State and High

School Associations (NFHS), participating in different sports and activities in high school has many benefits for students. Some of the benefits they mention include instilling a sense of pride in school and community, teaching lifelong lessons and skills of teamwork and self discipline, and facilitating the physical and emotional development of the nation’s youth.

Some of these benefits were mentioned at the Dec. 16, 2015, Prairie Hills USD No. 113 meeting, when Sabetha High School coach and teacher Nathan Bauman proposed adding baseball and softball starting in the spring of 2017 after a student survey showed a big interest in adding these sports. He said that participation in spring sports has declined, and being active in athletics offers students an opportunity to build their soft skills.

Fast forward to the present, and SHS students proved that adding these activities would increase participation in the spring substantially. According to rosters supplied by SHS, there are 111 athletes and five managers out of 245 students who will be heading to practices after school instead of heading home. This is a 47 percent student body participation rate in spring sports, compared to the 27 percent in the spring of 2016.

The number of students who participated in golf and track last year did not decrease due to the addition of baseball and softball. Currently, there are 48 students out for track com-pared to the 45 in 2016, and golf stayed the same with 22 athletes for both years; and now softball will have 22 athletes and baseball will have 24.

Being a softball and baseball fan, I am very excited that the board voted to add these two sports to SHS and believe it will teach students the aforementioned benefits and soft skills, as well as increase community support and participation.

The baseball and softball teams will start their inaugural seasons at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 30. Be sure to head to the ball fields tomorrow to show your support for all of these athletes and coaches and to experience the beginning of these two new traditions in Sabetha.

Pyle gives legislative update

Listening to news reports, one gets the idea the Kan-sas budget has a billion

dollar shortfall the next couple of years. Notice the reports add up multiple years to get to the billion dollar amount. This is not neces-sarily false but needs clarification. (President Trump would most likely call it “fake news.”)

The shortfall is due in part to the projected and estimated growth rates. If one assumes a zero growth rate for the budget next year then the numbers come down substantially. While the leg-islature would have to prioritize spending to do this, it is doable. After all, families and businesses manage to make it by practice. It is called “living within your means.” Obviously, the government is fail-ing in this and will propose tak-ing more of your hard earned dol-lars to continue its squirrel cage spending habits.

The Senate debated Senate Substitute for Substitute HB2052. Commonly referred to as the “rescission bill,” the legislation makes appropriations revisions for FY 2017. The senate voted on amendments to the rescission bill. The first amendment proposed to the bill was offered by the Senate

President and would have reduced the nearly $6 billion, current year State General Fund (SGF) bud-get by 2 percent or $104 million. The proposal protected edu-cation funding directed toward classroom in-struction, giv-ing discretion-ary flexibility to school districts for certain bud-get items, while making provi-sions allowing the governor to approve exemption from cuts for hardship cases.

This was a starting point to the budget issues before the legisla-ture. When the 2 percent proposal failed, the same amendment with a 1 percent ($52 million) reduction was submitted, receiving more votes than the previous motion, but failing to pass. Upon failure of a 1 percent reduction, a mo-tion was made to amend with a 1/2 percent ($26 million) reduc-tion. This also failed to garner the necessary votes.

It is very clear there is no desire to reduce spending on the current year’s budget nor find greater ef-

ficiencies. Opponents argued that with less than a third of the cur-rent budget year left, it was un-fair to cut. Many of these same

folks voted for a tax increase a few weeks b a c k t h a t would have raised taxes retroactively on taxpayers. Their propos-al would have required more tax on the

monies earned since Jan. 1, 2017, cutting taxpayer budgets.

Another issue looming before the legislature is the school fi-nance formula. The Courts ruled that the “Block Grants” are not a finance formula and are there-fore not constitutional. They used statements by the Governor from his state of the state address to back their arguments. The gover-nor basically said the block grants are a stop-gap measure only until the legislature writes a new for-mula.

The Court Remedy is two-fold. They provided the legislature an opportunity to enact a new school finance formula by June 30, 2017,

retaining jurisdiction over the is-sue of adequacy. They also place the burden upon the State to demonstrate the new formula is constitutionally adequate.

The court stopped short of or-dering a specific dollar increase in funding. The emphasis seems to be on how money is spent and measured achievement. In my opinion, money without account-ability will not close achievement gaps. That said, the challenge before legislators is whether to address the test which the court has put before them — to meet requirements — or to simply base decisions on the demands of edu-cational institutions. The latter will not serve the students and will cost students and taxpayers dearly.

Cut down and destroy dead pines

Got dead pine trees? If you are in the eastern half of Kansas, they prob-

ably died of pine wilt, a disease that is widespread in that part of the state. If you are in central or western Kansas, pine wilt is less common but it can still occur in pockets.

Cut down pine wilt in-fected trees as soon as pos-sible (by April 1 or May 1 at absolute latest). Also, burn or chip the wood by May 1 at the latest. This will help to break the infection cycle.

Do not keep the logs piled up — the beetle and nematode can survive in firewood. In addition, be sure to cut the stump down to the ground, and destroy it, too. By destroying the wood you’ll destroy the nematode that causes it, and the beetle that spreads it.

Planting Fruit TreesFruit trees and many small fruit

plants are usually sold bareroot, and it is vital that roots never dry out before planting. When plants arrive from the nursery, open the bundles immediately and check for moisture.

If the roots are not moist, they should be soaked in water for six to 12 hours before planting. Packages with moist roots can be repacked and placed in a cool, sheltered area if the trees will be planted in a day or two. If wet soils will prevent planting for several days, plants should be heeled in.

To do this, dig a trench in a shel-tered, well-drained area out of the sun. The north side of a building often works well.

Lay the plants so the roots are in the trench, and then place soil over the roots. Firm the soil and

add water if the soil isn’t already quite moist. You should not leave plants heeled in for more than two to three weeks.

Plants can be placed in a bucket of

water, as planting holes are pre-pared. Make the planting hole wide enough to accommodate roots without twirling them in-side the hole.

If there is an especially long root, cut it to fit. Twirling long roots inside the hole may even-tually girdle the tree. Add organ-ic matter to the area around the planting hole.

The treated area should be about 8 feet across. In heavy soil, adding amendments to just the planting hole creates a “pot” effect that can fill with water and drown your new tree. Covering an 8-foot area avoids this problem.

Planting depth is important. Make sure the graft union is be-tween two and three inches above the soil surface after the tree is fully in place.

If the graft union is below the surface, the tree may develop scion roots and any dwarfing ef-fect is lost.

Water plants in immediately to eliminate air pockets and ensure there is plenty of water for root uptake. Do not fertilize.

Statehouse ReportBY: DENNIS PYLEKANSAS SENATOR, 1ST DISTRICT

On the Extension LineBY: MATT YOUNGBROWN COUNTY EXTENSION

True Christianity is truly unique

It has been a long time since I first came over the hill in 1984 and saw the Dairy

Queen of Sabetha! Back then, I was working with the youth of Sabetha, started “The Building” on Main Street and gained a lot of new relationships, friends.

My desire back then was for students to see and understand what true Christianity was. Not an empty religion, an organiza-tion filled with rituals or a per-formance based relationship with God, but a relationship based on the grace of God. That desire has not changed.

There is a lot of confusion when it comes to having a relationship with God, and a lot of that confu-

sion is due to the religious leaders and institutions like the church. Many have added rules to follow in order to be a true Christian, while others have made the Word of God nothing but a fairy tale book with some good advice about love.

T h e r e a l truth is revealed in the Bible: “It is by grace that you are saved by faith, it is not from yourself, it is a gift from God, not by your works so that no one can boast.” It is an undeserved gift of grace from God

that we simply receive by faith. It is THIS message that makes true Christianity unique.

All false religions require works. The fas-cinating thing is that True Chr is t ia n it y produces lives that are counter cultural. The culture says af-fairs and adul-tery are normal, True Christians

disagree by belief and practice. The culture says that you can take the life of an unborn child, True Christians disagree by belief and practice. The culture takes Biblical

truth and makes it subjective to their desires, True Christians hold fast to the Word of God as truth to be followed in belief and practice.

So, here are two challenges. First make sure that you have a real relationship with God by trusting wholly in Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross to forgive your sins. Your trust is in Him alone and His grace, not your efforts or ac-tivity. Second, if you are a True believer, make sure your life is reflecting that relationship both inside the home and outside in the community.

This is my heart’s desire, that everyone would know this truth and find real life.

The Mediterranean Diet?

There’s some confusion about what the Mediter-ranean Diet really is. It

has been criticized for giving the public a seemingly free license to overindulge on endless amounts of olive oil, cheesy pastas and wine, which doesn’t seem all that healthy. And it isn’t.

According to the American Heart Associa-tion, a Medi-terranean Diet consists of:

• High con-sumption of fruits, vegetables, bread and other cereals, potatoes, beans, nuts and seeds

• Olive oil is an important

monounsaturated fat source• Dairy products, fish and

poultry are consumed in low to moderate amounts, and little red meat is eaten

• Eggs are consumed zero to four times a week

• Wine is consumed in low to moder-ate amounts

The nutri-tional magic of the Mediterra-nean Diet lies in its emphasis on consuming lots of plants: v e g e t a b l e ,

fruits, whole grains and legumes. The cuisine contains very little saturated fat.

The Mediterranean Diet first become noticed after World War II when a study examined the di-ets and health of almost 13,000 middle-aged men in the U.S., Japan, Italy, Greece (including Crete), the Netherlands, Finland and Yugoslavia.

Surprisingly, well-fed Ameri-can men had higher rates of heart disease than those in countries whose diets had been restricted by the deprivations of the war. Residents of Crete enjoyed the best cardiovascular health, a dif-ference scientists largely ascribed to their diet based on fruits and vegetables, grains, legumes and fish. (Tufts Health and Nutrition Newsletter, September 2013)

Today, studies still show that eating the Mediterranean way can have a positive impact on reduc-ing one’s high blood pressure, risk for cancer and obesity along with other chronic diseases that tend to affect American eaters.

Soybean fertility considerations

Soybeans are a great fit for our eastern Kansas crop rotations for a number of

reasons. One of those reasons is their ability to fix their own nitro-gen, subsequently reducing that crop input cost for the soybean portion of the rotation.

It might be tempting with tighter produc-tion budgets to consider cut-ting other crop nutrient inputs for soybeans as well. Do so only with extreme caution! For exam-ple, while soybeans do tend to be able to obtain adequate amounts of phosphorous from the soil at lower soil P levels than say, corn or wheat, low soil test levels may well warrant phosphorous applications to make sure the crop has what it needs to produce adequate yields.

As a general rule of thumb, soy-beans remove around eight tenths of a pound of phosphorous in each bushel of grain yield.

At low soil test levels, or in situ-ations where we provide P to the corn portion of the rotation but not the soybeans, soil test levels could drop to a level where ad-ditional phosphorous applications are necessary to provide an ad-equate yield environment.

Low phosphorous levels have even been found to be a factor in soybean disease!

A long term macronutrient fer-tility study at the Kansas River Valley Experiment Field with a corn/soybean rotation have showed that soil P levels can have a significant influence on the se-verity of SDS (Sudden Death Syn-drome).

During the soybean rotation phase of the study, SDS symptoms increased significantly as P fertil-ity decreased.

On a site where no P had been applied, the percent defoliation by SDS at R6 averaged 39 percent

compared to 16 percent in a plot where a 60 pound P rate had been ap-plied.

The resulting yield increase was greater than 50 per-cent! The bot-

tom line: paying attention to soil P levels is an important step in SDS management!

Response to potassium fertil-izers is also high in soybean pro-duction, with deficiencies on the increase over the last decade or so. Removal rate of K in soybean production is generally around 1.4 pounds per bushel.

While micronutrients like sul-fur and in some instances iron (typically in high pH soils) might be of concern, research hasn’t shown consistent responses to other micro nutrients that would limit soybean yields at this time.

Soybeans are an important part of our crop rotation. While their fertility needs are not the same as those we are used to in corn production, they are important just the same.

When soil test levels are low, nutrients need to be applied to each crop in the rotation for the best response.

Make sure your soil sampling or tissue testing program addresses potential deficiencies to insure your soybean crop is as produc-tive as it can be.

Dairy farming noble tradition

Kansas is one of the fastest growing dairy regions in the U.S. in terms of milk

production, due to a variety of factors like an ideal climate, land availability and a lot of cow feed.

We are lucky to have some ex-cellent dairies in Northeast Kansas. Sever-al of our dair-ies are being recognized by their peers, the Kansas Dairy Council and the Dairy Farmers Association as being the Dairy of the Year. I’m not sure when those announce-ments will be made, but I’m very proud of these two dairies and the efforts they make to be their best.

Even though we have top notch dairies, they all have challenges. Some of those challenges are the search for good employees who will love and care for the animals like they were their own.

We have plenty of feed for dairy cattle, but changes in the diet can have huge effects on the output. The weather changing drastically can have health implications and then there’s the constant threat of those trying to put them out of business.

Recently it seems the Animal Rights movements have been at it again. Showing their pitiful videos that were illegally taken and pray-ing on the sympathies of the naive public. Spreading untruths about how unhealthy dairy products are for you.

I know how hard these people [dairy farmers] work, I know they spend countless hours mak-ing sure the animals are properly cared for.

These dairy farmers are some of the most tech savvy people I know. The amount of information they have to keep up with every day is mind boggling.

They are business executives in coveralls and muck boots. They

have all figured out that a hap-py cow makes more milk, and more milk feeds the world.

If you prefer to use the milk substitutes that have less pro-tein, more so-

dium and a lot more chemicals, that is your decision.

Just don’t spread untruths about the hardest working ag industry we have.

At one time, milk was promoted as “the perfect food.”

Of course, no one food is suf-ficient in itself, but milk and other dairy products are very nutritious (they remain the chief source of calcium in the American diet) and can be part of a heart-healthy diet.

Don’t believe claims by anti-milk groups that dairy harms bones. Though osteoporosis rates are lower in Asia, where dairy is rarely consumed, factors other than diet affect bones, and most studies show that calcium from dairy is protective.

Dairy is protein-rich, and very high protein intake slightly in-creases calcium excretion. But some protein is needed for strong bones, and dairy’s high calcium may more than offset any small adverse effect of its high protein. Plus, in addition to calcium, milk provides vitamin D, magnesium, potassium and other key bone nutrients.

Lights out!

The eight week Walk Kan-sas program has begun in the Meadowlark District

with 40 teams. This year there are weekly

mini-challenges that are simple, although may-be not that easy to achieve. We all benefit from a good night’s sleep and set-ting a consis-tent bedtime can help you sleep better.

This chal-lenge invites you to establish a routine of go-ing to bed at the same time each evening, give or take 30 minutes. Ideally, you also set a specific time to get up every morning and allow

seven to nine hours of rest time.Why is rest so important? Sleep

deprivation has been proven to impair your performance, concen-tration and memory. It can make you feel irritable and can lead you

to overeat. Establishing

a consistent bedtime can be difficult, but it’s worth it. When you get adequate sleep, your heart and mind can reju-venate and you feel better!

This week, plan ahead so you can turn in at approximately the same time each evening. Is this something you could continue to do as a healthful lifestyle habit?

ans said.In testimony given before the

Kansas House K-12 Education Budget Committee by Mark Tall-man, associate director for advo-cacy for the Kansas Association of School Boards, KASB is neutral on the bill.

“We want to recognize the com-mittee’s work so far in developing a new school finance proposal that addresses many of the structural requirements we believe a finance system requires,” Tallman said. “However, we believe the level of

additional revenue provided in this bill as introduced falls far short of what is required to help students succeed as required by the State Board of Education’s Kansas Can vision, the position our members have adopted, and perhaps most importantly, the Rose capacities identified by the Kansas Supreme Court.”

The Kansas State Board of Edu-cation has estimated that an ad-ditional $566 million is needed next year to bring school funding up to “adequacy” and advance the Board’s “Kansans Can” vision.

Sabetha Community Hospital GuildSubmitted by Kathie Tramp

ReporterThe Sabetha Community Hos-

pital Guild met at noon Monday, March 20, at the Sabetha Emer-gency Services Building. Twen-ty-two ladies were present, along with two visitors.

President Teresa Deckinger opened the meeting by introduc-ing our guest speaker, Rhonda Spellmeier, director of nursing at Sabetha Community Hospital.

Spellmeier spoke about the Bi-Pap machine the Guild will be help-ing to purchase for the Emergency Room at Sabetha Hospital.

Spellmeier said that the Bi-Pap is similar to a C-Pap machine, but will allow our Doctors the option of using non-invasive equipment on patients with respiratory dif-ficulties, without having to intu-bate them.

She reported the machine will cost around $12,000, which will

include on-site training. Hope-fully, it will be purchased in the very near future.

After our program, the minutes from the last meeting were read, along with the treasurer’s report. The group was reminded to pay dues for the year. In other busi-ness, they decided to print more copies of the Sabetha Hospital History book.

The hospital Employee Recog-nition Tea will be held at 1 p.m.

Tuesday, April 11. Volunteers signed up to bake cookies for the event, and to serve at the tea. A delicious lunch was served, and the group was informed that next month is Occupational Therapy month at the hospital. The group also was reminded the Bloodmo-bile would be in Sabetha Tuesday, March 21.

There being no further busi-ness, the meeting was ended at 1 p.m.

DAIRY FARMERS OF AMERICA

Seneca family earns distinctionThe Haverkamp family, own-

ers of Kelly Hills Dairy in Seneca, has been named among the 2017 Members of Distinction by Dairy Farmers of America.

The Members of Distinction program recognizes dairy farm-ers who excel on their operations, in their communities and in the industry. Honorees inspire others through their actions, leadership and involvement. They represent the best of the dairy industry.

DFA comprises more than 13,000 farmer-owners across the United States. Each year, one no-table member farm from each of DFA’s seven regional Areas is se-lected to receive this honor. Kelly Hills Dairy represents the Coop-erative’s Central Area.

Brian Haverkamp has never been satisfied with the status quo. Whether it’s new technology and facilities or ongoing employee training, Brian and his wife, Kris-tina, are constantly looking for ways to improve and grow their

dairy. Since 2002 when Brian took

over from his parents, the couple has expanded the dairy from 200 cows to about 550 cows, with the

addition of a new freestall barn, renovated milking parlor and a flushing system, which was one of the first in the area.

“I wanted to build a dairy

that was for the future, one that wasn’t going to live in the past,” B. Haverkamp said.

The Haverkamps also depend on the operation’s 15 full-time employees to keep milk quality high and the cows comfortable. Working with the Kansas State University extension, the opera-tion has hosted several training seminars on milking procedures, hoof trimming, artificial insemi-nation and more.

“The employees we have here are awesome,” B. Haverkamp said. “We treat them like family.”

As they look to the future, the Haverkamps are working to grow an operation that can be passed down to the next generation. Together, with their daughter, Ashley Hunninghake and her husband, Kevin, the Haverkamps are planning another expansion, with hopes of extending a freestall barn, as well as looking at addi-tional technology, including a robotic milking system.

The Haverkamp family has been named a Member of Distinction in Dairy Farmers of America.

Sabetha High School baseball, softball inaugural seasons set to begin Thursday, March 30

Baseball Softball

HEATHER STEWART

Thursday, March 30, will be a historical day for Sabetha High School. For the first time in the school’s history, 22 girls – five seniors, four juniors, five sophomores and eight freshmen – will suit up and play in the school’s very first softball game.

After the Prairie Hills USD No. 113 Board of Education approved the new soft-ball program in December 2015, Lauren Massey accepted the position as the head coach for the inaugural season.

“I took this job because I love this game so much,” Massey said. “Coaching gives me a way to share that love for the game and to help teach girls softball.”

The varsity team will be playing double headers against 10 teams for a total of 20 games. The junior varsity will play at least 18 games, also double headers. The teams will kick off the season at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 30, against Valley Falls – which is the only non-conference game the teams will play – at the Sabetha city softball fields. The varsity team will play on Field 2, and junior varsity will be playing on Field 3.

“I am very excited for this season,” Massey said. “The girls are working hard and we are ready to start playing.”

Practices for spring sports began on Monday, Feb. 27, and currently, the Lady Jays practice every day during the week after school from about 4 to 6 p.m. According to Massey, the team is off to a good start.

“Practices have been going very well,” she said. “Practices are a lot of fun and the girls are working hard. Each day we are growing into a smarter and stronger softball team. They are a great group of kids that make my job so much fun!”

Before the 2016-17 season, Sabetha was the only school in the Big 7 League who did not have an established softball team, and Massey said she has high hopes for the inaugural season.

“I want this first year to be a positive one that gives us a solid foundation for many more seasons to come,” she said. “I also want us to make a name for ourselves in the Big 7 League.”

In preparation for the first season, the City of Sabetha wanted to ensure the high

TIM KELLENBERGER

If you listen closely on Thursday, March 30, during the late afternoon you will hear a familiar cry coming from Somerset Park. “Play Ball!” Yes, for the first time in the history of Sabetha Bluejay athletics, there will be spring baseball at Somerset Park.

The first pitch of the season will be at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, with Valley Falls paying a visit to Sabetha’s Somerset Park. The new SHS has 24 young men out — two seniors, eight juniors, nine sophomores and five freshmen.

“This is a good number for a varsity and a junior varsity schedule,” said Head Coach Aaron Frey.

The Jays will play a 20 game season, with 10 being at Somerset Park and 10 being at the opponents’ fields. All games will be double headers.

“We will be playing all the Big Seven League schools except Hiawatha who does not have baseball until next year,” Frey said. “We will also play some non-league games with Valley Falls, Silver Lake and Rossville.”

The Jays will play the regular season schedule and then will be grouped into a Regional Tournament with a format of losing a game putting you out of the tourna-ment. The winner of the Regional Tournament will be one of eight representatives in the State Tournament held in Manhattan this year.

The varsity game days will be on Mondays and Thursdays, while the junior varsity games will be on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Frey said practice has been going well.“We practice every day after school from 3:50 p.m. until around 6 p.m.,” he said.

“On Saturdays we will hit in groups. We will not have mandatory Sunday practice, but the guys can come in and hit if they want to. It will be like open gym during basketball season.

“We have a lot of work to do but the kids have responded well and have done everything we have asked them to,” Frey said. “They are a coachable group and have been working very hard. It has been an adjustment for the kids to make baseball a school sport and an every day thing but they are handling it well.”

Frey said he has high expectations for the first year team.

Head Coach Lauren Massey watches as three Sabetha softball players practice running down a run between third base and home plate during practice on Friday, March 17.

school team had functional fields to play on. In order to do this, the city made multiple renovations to fields.

“We have done numerous reno-vations on Field 2 to benefit rec-reation, but specifically for the high school softball team,” said Jeremy Haverkamp, Sabetha Parks and Recreation Director. “Since last year, we have installed new scoreboards, renovated the infield by replacing the old material and installed sod in the foul territory. We also recently had concrete in-stalled in the seating area around the field.”

According to Massey, the com-munity is also excited for the up-coming season.

“Everyone in this community is very excited about softball start-ing,” she said. “It has been a long time coming and this town can’t wait for it.”

ABOUT THE COACHESMassey teaches first grade at

Sabetha Elementary School. She played softball for 14 years in vari-ous positions including third base, first base, and her primary posi-

tion, pitcher. She played softball at Highland

Community College, at which the team went to NJCAA National tournament two years in a row. She then continued her softball career at Tabor College. She said that her experience in the game has shaped her into the coach she

is now.“I have been coached by a va-

riety of coaches that helped mold me into the player and coach that I am today,” she said.

Assistant Coach Nathan Bau-man – head coach for the NEK Summer Softball team – teaches business and computer classes at

Sabetha High School. Bauman is also an assistant coach for both the SHS football and girls’ bas-ketball teams.

Assistant Coach Clayton Tennal works at CW Mill Equipment in Sabetha. Tennal also serves as a freshman girls’ basketball coach.

“We want to try to win every double header,” he said. “We want to finish high in the league stand-ings, and we definitely want to be playing our best baseball in May and win that Regional Tourna-ment. Going to the State Tourna-ment is a great experience, and I would love for these kids to expe-rience that.”

Despite being the first year for the Jays to be competing in spring baseball, Frey does not feel intimi-dated.

“Any time you are starting a new program, you feel like you are behind everybody else,” he said. “You have to start some-where though. Sixteen years ago, I was a part of establishing a new program at Andover Central, and I feel like we are ahead of where

they were then. A lot of that goes to the fact that we have a success-ful Legion program, which has helped us tremendously.”

A new program does come with some challenges, and Frey points out that he feels the two biggest challenges will be practicing every day, which is a new thing for these baseball players, and the new pitch count regulations that will go into effect this year for the entire state. The new rule says that a pitcher will now be required to have a certain amount of rest days ac-cording to the number of pitches he throws on one day.

Despite the challenges of start-ing a new program, Frey says the team has received great commu-nity support.

“The feel that I have gotten from the community is that they are very excited to having baseball as

a sport for Sabetha High School,” he said. “They have waited a long time for this!”

ABOUT THE COACHESThe Jays will have a varsity and

a junior varsity schedule this year and will be led by Aaron Frey, who moved back home to Sabetha after a 15-year teaching career at An-dover Central.

“I took this job so my wife and I could raise our kids in a small town,” Frey said. “The fact that the community was very supportive of starting high school baseball was a big factor for us to move back here. It was a very tough de-cision to leave a place where we had been for 15 years, but rais-ing our family in Sabetha can’t

be beaten.” While Frey was at Andover

Central, he was the defensive co-ordinator for the football team and the assistant baseball coach.

“Andover Central won 11 Re-gional Championships and was the state runner-up four times in the 15 years I was there,” he said. “We were a 4A Division 1 school and a 5A school during that time frame.”

Frey will bring that experience with him as he leads the Jays into their first year of organized base-ball.

Frey will be assisted this sea-son by Garrett Michael and Doug Garrett.

He will stop eventually, Part II

Bernard asked, “Do you know how fortunate Bri-an was to have taken that

Chamois on the first day?” I just looked at him knowing an

explanation would soon follow. Bernard did not say a whole lot, unless it was about the workings of firearms, so when he opened up I was listening.

“This is a really good area for Red Stag and just so-so for Cham-ois,” Bernard said. “There are not a lot of them in these parts of these mountains.”

With that being said, I was kind of wondering why we were set up on the edge of this canyon with our optics.

“There are probably more of them here than we think but they are hard to spot but we will glass here awhile and see what turns up,” Bernard said.

We stayed put for a while, glass-ing the far hillsides but nothing was turning up. After a long morning of glassing, Bernard de-cided that we would work our way up the canyon. With the morn-ing sun now well up in the sky, we headed for new territory. We worked our way up a drainage that dropped down into the canyon we were glassing. It had the most beautiful little stream running down the middle of it. There was a cool breeze in our face the whole

way up the drainage. We walked for a couple of hours

and spotted nothing. It was now almost noon. We stopped for lunch. It was one of the most beautiful days I have ever spent out in the field purs-ing big game. There was not much wind and the sky was a beautiful deep blue with a few clouds dotting the horizon. We packed up and headed back from where we had come. As we worked our way back, we spotted another member of our party down the canyon. We met up with them about an hour later.

“We spotted a Chamois buck about an hour ago bedded down on a hillside north of here,” said my hunting partner Tom. “He is a long ways up the hillside from where we saw him. It will be quite a hike!”

We headed to the area where the Chamois was spotted. We were on the top of a massive canyon. It was an incredible view.

We began glassing the hillside for the lone Chamois. It was not long before one of the party picked up the bedded Chamois. He was

about a mile away on a tussock dotted hillside.

“He is definitely worth going after,” Bernard said. “Let’s work out a game plan here.”

There were eight of us gath-ered together on the rim of the canyon with all of us ey-ing the bedded Chamois. The three guides put their heads together and came up with a game plan.

Bernard and I would drop down into the bottom of the canyon via a little offshoot ravine.

“Chamois have incredible eye-sight!” Bernard said. “We cannot just walk up from below him. He will spot us long before we get into range.”

Bernard and I dumped all of our gear except for my rifle and our binoculars and headed off to our left. We left the rest of the gang on the rim of the canyon to watch the unfolding stalk. If we could drop down into the bottom of the canyon undetected, we could then work our way to the right where we would be right below the bed-ded chamois.

From where we stood, it looked

like there was enough brush on the slope below the chamois that we could stay concealed and pos-sibly get within 300 yards of the unsuspecting Chamois.

We began the long descent down to the bottom. It was incred-ibly steep but we soon picked up a game trail and worked our way down with relative ease. It took us about half an hour to get to the bottom. Upon reaching the bottom, the air was consider-ably cooler. We were shrouded in complete shade, the canyon was so deep!

We worked our way back to the right and climbed for a small dis-tance and then pulled up the bin-oculars. It did not take long before we both picked up the sleeping chamois. He was bedded down in such a position that he would be looking directly at us if we tried to work up toward him. As if on cue, the Chamois suddenly jumped to his feet and began to climb higher.

“Did he see us?” I asked Ber-nard.

“Not a chance,” said Bernard. “He just wants to move.”

“How far do you think he will go?” I asked.

“It does not matter,” Bernard said in a matter-of-fact voice. “He will stop eventually and when he does, we will be right behind him.”

Before taking the shot, Burger told golfing partner Marvin Kohlmeier that he hoped he could get his seventh hole in one on hole seven with his seven iron. He then teed off, and when the two went to find the ball they found it in the hole. Kohlmeier said it is traditional that person who makes a hole-in-one is obligated to buy dinner for any witnesses.

4 Youth board met at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 27, at the Sabetha board office.

Board members present were Susan Bowman, Heather Stew-art, Krista Stallbaumer, Richard Strathman, Wendy Lierz, Adam Reel, Scott Anson, Jessica Atwood, Jennifer Haynes and Nick Scott. Also present was Executive Direc-tor Sarah Renyer.

The board reviewed and ap-proved minutes from the Janu-ary meeting.

Scott went over the treasurer’s report. He mentioned that the report didn’t reflect a check that the City of Sabetha sent or the Netawaka expenses.

Old BusinessStrategic Prevention Framework

process-next year plans – Renyer told the board that we are in the survey stage of the process and wanted to know how technical

the board wants to get in filling out the steps, or if we just want to take her advice on what should be changed for next year. The board discussed next steps to take for SPF.

Netawaka Lock-in – Renyer emailed Janelle Boden (Wetmore Academic Center Principal) for fi-nal numbers, but the preliminary count was 138, which was a great turn out. Boden and Renyer met and created a list of what changes to make for next year.

Not In My House Campaign – Renyer reported to the board that this campaign didn’t go as well this year. In order to continue the campaign, the board will have to make some changes. Renyer also told the board she didn’t have the numbers yet from Sabetha’s campaign.

Mentor Programs – Renyer re-ported to the board that the men-tor programs were going well. She is working on finding a replace-

ment sponsor for Seneca and is trying to get Sabetha to increase the number of times they meet to twice a month. Renyer will set up a date to meet with the Nemaha County Commissioners in order to get the program approved for next year. She will get a summary about each school and numbers in order to give to the commis-sioners.

New BusinessSADD Chapter Memorandums

and Payments – Renyer suggested that the memorandum of under-standing needs to be redrafted, because some of the SADD chap-ters are doing different things. Re-nyer will get a detailed report of which schools are doing what and a new MOU. She will email it to the board members.

Board Position – The board is losing two members, Parent An-gela McKee and School Represen-tative Briana Evans. The board will need to find two new board

members.Mock Crash –Renyer is work-

ing with Sabetha and Wetmore on details for a mock crash event. Renyer is meeting with both schools this week and see if they are willing to put forth the effort to do what it will take to put on the Mock Crash. She is not sure of expenses for this event. Re-nyer said the day after the Mock Crash would be a good time to pass out the promotional items. Renyer showed the board ideas for promotional items, and it was decided she would order around 700 promotional items. The board also offered suggestions on how to make the Mock Crash more effective.

Other – Atwood said that Boden reported a 96-98 percent success rate on seatbelt checks.

The next meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 13, in Seneca.

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.
