MANHATTAN – The Kansas
Department of Agriculture’s Division
of Animal Health has identified an
increased number of rabies cases
reported in Kansas this year. As of
June 30, 69 cases of rabies have been
confirmed in Kansas for 2015.
Rabies testing is performed by
the Kansas State University
Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory,
which confirmed only 69 positive
cases in all of 2014. Of the 69 cases
reported this year, 13 of them
occurred in domestic animals
including nine cattle and four cats.
These numbers are expected to
continue to rise through the end of the
year.
Dr. Bill Brown, Kansas Animal
Health Commissioner, urged Kansans
to be alert. “Being observant of
erratic behavior in wildlife or
livestock is important,” he said. “Pet
owners are urged to follow best
practices and vaccinate their pets to
prevent this devastating disease.”
Rabies is a preventable disease
that is always deadly and can infect
humans. To prevent the impact of the
disease, it is important to vaccinate
all animals that have regular human
contact. This includes pets such as
dogs, cats and ferrets, horses, and any
livestock that has human contact or is
of high value. If you are bitten by an
animal, wash the wound immediately
with soap and water, seek medical
attention and report the bite to your
local health or animal control
department.
“It is important to remember that
animals need periodic boosters of
rabies vaccine throughout their life,”
said Dr. Ingrid Garrison, state public
health veterinarian with the Kansas
Department of Health and
Environment. “Vaccinating animals
against rabies not only protects our
pets, but our families too.”
In addition to vaccination, it is
important to watch for signs of rabies
such as changes in animal behavior.
Common signs of rabies include wild
animals acting unafraid of people,
calm animals acting aggressive and
hostile, inability to swallow,
increased salivation, seizures and
paralysis.
If you notice any animals
exhibiting signs of rabies, keep your
distance and contact animal control.
In the case an animal has been
exposed to rabies, contact your
veterinarian for advice.
KDA DAH works to promote
public health and safety by working
with Kansas farmers and ranchers to
protect animal health and ensure a
safe food supply.

GLEN ELDER – The influence and legacy of Native American tribes left on
Kansas still flourish today and will be celebrated at the Fifth Annual Wakonda
Indian Festival slated for July 18-19 at Glen Elder State Park.
The two day event will run 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days and will feature
Native American dancing, drumming, singing and food. Art vendors will sell
their treasures and their heritage will be shared as they demonstrate each dance.
Hoop dancing has become a crowd favorite and will be featured again this year. A
teepee will be set up for children to experience a touch of the past. Indian tacos
will be served with cold drinks available.
“Last year cooler weather prevailed for the festival and a large crowd
participated on both days,” said Coordinator Sharon Hesket Sahlfeld. “They
enjoyed the event and participated in the dancing. This year we will be adding
more dancers which is our goal to help the event grow annually.”
Influence of Native Americans in Kansas is strong.
Kansas was named after the Kanza or Kaw tribes and means “People of the
South Wind.”

BELOIT – The practice of dental sleep medicine in North Central Kansas
just advanced, thanks to the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine.
Dr. Holloway of Dental Designs of Solomon Valley in Beloit, a member of
the national non-profit American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM),
was one of 1000 members at the AADSM’s Annual Meeting in Seattle, WA. The
event aims to foster the advancement of oral appliance therapy as a treatment for
obstructive sleep apnea and snoring.
An effective alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), oral
appliance therapy uses a mouth-guard like device, worn only during sleep, to
maintain an open, unobstructed airway. Learning from leaders in the field of
dental sleep medicine, Holloway reviewed new clinical studies and treatment
procedures centered on oral appliance therapy that he can now apply to his North
Central Kansas practice.
“Opportunities like these allow me to further hone my skills in dental sleep
medicine. Keeping abreast of new research and developments also ensure that I
can continue to provide my patients with the best treatment solutions for their
snoring and sleep apnea”, said Holloway.
“Many local residents need an effective alternative to CPAP, and
participating in multiple advanced training programs helps me provide cutting-

Tribal names are used throughout Kansas today to designate counties or
highways or to trace history.
Wakonda Springs, the mysterious crater of water that now rests beneath
Glen Elder State Lake in Mitchell County, was once considered sacred to the
Kanza people and to other tribes. Native Americans believed the large saltwater
spring – said to measure 300 feet around and rose 40 feet above the surround
Solomon River Valley -- had spiritual and healing.
The mineral springs was once a ceremonial gathering place sacred to all the
plains Indians.
According to learned sources the word Wakonda with a “k” was actually a
word used by the Kanza Indians to denote the supernatural, roughly translated,
“great spirit.” (Later, as more white men settled the area, the name “Waconda”
with a “c” became the standard spelling of the word.) powers.
According to author and historian Ron Parks, the Kanza Indians named the
Solomon River for this spring, calling it ‘Nepaholla,’ meaning “water-on-ahill.”
The Kanza’s reverence for the spring was also reflected in the tribe’s name

AADSM’s 3 day Annual Meeting was held in Seattle, WA in June 2015. It
offers the opportunity for further education as attendees discuss recent advances
in sleep apnea and snoring treatments, review the relationship between sleep
apnea, snoring and various health problems and come to understand new
evidence regarding long-term oral appliance therapy care.
Holloway is a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine,
American Academy of Sleep Medicine, American Dental Association,
American Academy of Craniofacial Pain, Kansas Dental Association, and the
Academy of General Dentistry.
After 34 years of practice in North Central Kansas a need for further training

sleep physicians to treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
General News
Monday, July 6, 2015
My father has
always been especially unkind
to my sister, “Portia.” She
always has had behavioral
problems, not to mention she is
a bit paranoid and has a
ferocious temper. Portia also
drinks too much and continues
to contact her abusive exboyfriend.
My older sister and I try to
show Portia lots of love, but
Dad usually deals with her
problems with anger, insults and
general vitriol. Though he has
occasionally shown her support
over the years, he usually
singles her out as the “problem”
child. There have been times
when he has screamed and even
intervened physically when my
sisters have fought, always
pinning the blame on Portia.
Recently, Dad’s anger has
grown and he reacts testily to
every comment or question
Portia makes. He even reacts
poorly to my mother, and is now
talking about moving in with his
sister in another state until his
depression and anxiety subside.
Dad’s behavior seems really
disturbing to me and borders on
abuse. Yet my mother submits
over and over to his anger. What
should we do? -- Afraid of
Escalation
There’s not
much you can do for your
mother, who doesn’t see this as
a serious problem. She is
accustomed to Dad’s moods and
prefers to avoid confrontation.
Would your father see a doctor
about his depression and
anxiety instead of waiting for
them to “subside” on their own?
Portia’s
issues
may
be
genetically linked to her
father’s, and she also is likely to
benefit from both medical
intervention and therapy.
If your father wishes to move
in with his sister for a while,
then that will provide an
opportunity for everyone to
calm down. Dad obviously
recognizes that he has a
problem and that a little
distance can help. Perhaps his
sister will convince him to talk
to his doctor.
I’m responding
to “Feeling Unloved,” the
divorced dad whose teenaged
kids don’t seem to want to
spend time with him:
First and foremost, if your
kids are angry or resentful,
encourage them to talk about it
and simply listen without being
defensive or blaming the other
parent. It hurts, and it’s hard to
hear, but it’s what they need.
They are kids navigating a
difficult situation they feel
powerless to change.
Second, remember that they
are teenagers. Most teenagers
can be a bit self-centered and
focused on friends rather than
family.
Finally, don’t expect them to
call you. Invite them places,
even if it’s out for pizza. And if
they decline, then ask them
when would be a good time.
And don’t give up. It will get
better. -- G.
Thank you for your
sage
advice.
Navigating
parenthood with teenagers is
already
complicated,
and
divorce adds to the difficulty. If
the parents were living together,
they could see the situation
more clearly, but separated, they
aren’t certain what’s going on.
They sometimes blame the child
or the other parent for a change
in the relationship, but often it is
simply
growing
pains.
Teenagers require a revised
playbook.

Beloit American Legion
Post 57 baseball was at
Concordia on Wednesday
night. Beloit moved
their
record to 14-3 as they swept
the
twin
bill
in
Concordia. Winning the first
game 10-6 and a 9 inning
pitching affair in the nightcap
by a score of 3-2.
Game 1 Saw Concordia
jump out to a 4-0 lead, but
the Beloit half
of
the
4th inning was a crusher for
Concordia. Beloit sent
11
men to the plate and scored 7
runs. It was an inning that
saw Kelden Hyman get to
singles. The biggest blow
came off of the bat
of Caydren Cox as he doubled
with two outs and the bases
loaded driving in all three runs.
Dalton Kastrop started
and
pitched 3 innings, CaydrenCox
then came on and pitched the
next 3 innings, and Davis
Dubbert came on to close
things down for Beloit in the
7th. Cox proved his metal in
the middle three innings by
allowing 0 runs on 0 hits while
striking out 3. At the plate
Luke Hesting went 3-4,
and Kelden Hyman 2-3.
Game 2 was just an
outstanding baseball game with
both starting pitchers throwing
gems. Beloit scored
twice
on Tabor College product
Jordan Mehl in the first inning
but was stymied the rest of the
game until the top of the
9th. Luke
Hesting
held
Concordia scoreless for 5 and a
third innings, but hit a batter in
that fifth inning, and then
surrendered a home run shot to
the
following
hitter,
JordanMehl. With the game
tied 2-2 going to the 7th inning
Concordia
stuck
with Mehlwhile Beloit opted to
go with Davis Dubbert out of
the pen. Dubbert made good
on
the
closing
effort
for Beloit as
he
pitched
through the 7th , 8th, and
9th innings. Dubbert just kept
waiting for a Beloit run to
score. Beloit left the bases
loaded in both the 7th and
8th innings. Meanwhile Mehl
finally surrendered to relief
pitching in the 9th inning
and Beloit was
ready
to
strike. John Mosher singled
to right to lead off the inning
and was quickly sacrificed
bunted to 2nd by Trey
Dubbert, and Mosher was
able to vicariously move to
3rd on the play. Luke Hesting
followed with a base on balls,
and
the
hot
bat
of Caydren Cox drove a ball
to left that Mosher tagged and
scored on giving Dubbert the
one run he needed as he shut
down Concordia in their
home half of the 9th.
Noah Marozas had a
stand up game hitting going
2-3. Davis Dubbert got the
win allowing no runs over 3
innings of work and allowing
just 1 hit while striking out 5.
Jordan Mehl came
up
short but had a sterling
performance
on
the
mound. He pitched 8 innings
allowing 2 runs only 1 being
earned, he allowed only
3 Beloithits while striking out
15. It was quite a
performance against the likes
of
a
solid
offensive Beloit squad.
Beloit’s next action is
Sunday
when
they
host Clay Center.

for it: ‘Ne Wohkondaga’
or ‘Spirit Water.’
The Delawares and other
eastern tribes that relocated to
Kansas called it “Spirit Water”
as well.
The Pawnee Indians called
Wakonda Springs ‘kicawi
caku’ or “spring mound.” This
tribe considered the spring a
“location of an important
animal
lodge
where
mysterious
powers
were
reputedly
bestowed
on
individuals.”
In passing it was reported
that Indian tribes would throw
artifacts into the spring.
The
spring,
wrote
geographer
Walter
H.
Schoewe, “was held in great
reverence and esteem by the
various Indian tribes.” Many
relics,
including
beads,
medals, rifles, arrowheads, and
bows and arrows, were, in fact,
fished out by white people.”
In a Feb.20, 2011 story in
the Wichita Eagle article, Don
Blakeslee, a professor of
anthropology at Wichita State
University, said Native American
tribes believed God created a
fountain of mystic medicine and
the spirit of the sun.
“They
believed
the
supernatural power at Wakonda
Springs gave them the ability to
cure disease, the spirits of the
animals had power,” Blakeslee
said. “They believed the spirits of
animals lived in the underworld
and this was a place humans
could go and make contact with
the animals’ spirits.”
The Pawnee, Wichita, Kaw,
Potawatomi, Crow and other
tribes are known to have visited
the springs. The water was sacred
and open to any group, friendly
or not, Blakeslee said.
When European settlers
came to the area, they created a
“Lover’s Leap” legend about an
Indian maid named Waconda
who came across a wounded man
crying for water. She hurried to
the spring and brought him
water in a deerskin bag.
The two discovered they
were from rival tribes, but by
this time they were in love. The
girl’s father wouldn’t allow
them to marry. A war broke
out, and the wounded man,
named Takota, was killed by an
arrow. He fell into the springs,
and Waconda, who had been
watching, ran to the water’s
edge and with raised arms
appealed to the gods, then
plunged in after him.
Around the turn of the
century, the springs were
commercialized into a health
resort known simply as
‘Waconda Springs’ The area
has since been covered by
Waconda Lake but has not laid
to rest the Native American
history that can be experienced
at the Fifth Annual Wakonda
Indian Festival, July 18-19.

Lawrence B. Gentleman was
born on June 15, 1931 on the
Gentleman farm southeast of
Glen Elder to Merton E.
Gentleman, Sr. and Ava B.
(Barnett) Gentleman. He passed
away from his earthly life and
went to his heavenly home on
Thursday, July 2, 2015 at the
age of 84.
Lawrence attended Liberty
Country School and Glen Elder
Grade School in his youth, and
graduated from Glen Elder High
School in 1949. After high
school, Lawrence worked on
the family farm with his father.
He was drafted into the U.S.
Army on May 23, 1951, and
honorably served with the
Fourth Infantry Division, Ski
Troops, stationed at Ladd Air
Base in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Lawrence was discharged from
active military duty in April
1953 and returned to Glen
Elder, where he embarked on
his lifelong career of farming
and raising cattle.
On March 21, 1954,
Lawrence married Betty Lou
Thiessen. For the next 45 years,
Lawrence and Betty made their
home on their farm north of
Glen Elder. Both Lawrence and
Betty were active in their
farming operation and enjoyed
their life on the farm. Two
daughters were born to this
union, Sharon and Kathryn.
Lawrence was a member of
the Glen Elder Christian
Church, where he accepted
Jesus Christ as his Lord and
Savior November 24, 1946. He
was also a member of the
American Legion Post 143, and
Elks Lodge 1779. He was
dedicated to his church, serving
as a deacon for 42 years, and to
the American Legion, serving in
numerous capacities throughout
the years. Lawrence enjoyed
working with wood and being
very skilled, remodeled their
farm house multiple times
through the years. As the farm
operation grew, Lawrence had
several young men work for
him while in high school and
college. To this day, these
young men considered it a
General News
Obituary
Cattle population outrank in Kansas
privilege to work for Lawrence,
stopping to
visit when
b o t h
Lawrence
and Betty
were “back
home”.
As life on
the
farm
permitted,
Gentleman
Lawrence
and Betty
traveled. One memorable trip
was to the New England area,
in particular, to the state of
Maine, where Lawrence’s
father, Merton, had grown up.
This trip was particularly
special to Lawrence, since he
was named for his Uncle
Laurence, who resided in
Maine and whom they visited.
Another memorable trip was to
Hawaii with Betty’s sister, Carl
and husband Jerry. And finally,
probably the most memorable
trip for Lawrence was when the
same foursome traveled to
Alaska and Lawrence was able
to visit once again Ladd Air
Base and Fairbanks, where he
had been stationed during his
years in the Army.
Anyone who knew Lawrence
knew that he had a quick wit,
ornery nature, and was an
excellent conversationalist. He
did not know a stranger. In fact,
family members often laughed
that he could have had a career
in politics, for it seemed he was
always talking with someone;
the phrase “he’s shaking hands
and kissing babies” was coined
within the family when waiting
on Lawrence to finish talking
with someone before leaving
wherever they might be as a
family.
After 45 years of living on
the farm, Lawrence retired from
farming, and he and Betty
moved to Beloit. Retirement
afforded
Lawrence
the
opportunity to spend time on
his
woodworking
hobby.
During these later years of
retirement, Betty suffered
multiple health issues, and
Lawrence was always there to
care for her. Lawrence always
said he “married the prettiest
girl in Mitchell County”.
Lawrence was a loving
husband, father, and grandpa.
He and Betty enjoyed taking in
numerous musical performances
and
events
of
their
grandchildren, following them
from elementary school through
high school, college, and
graduate school, in various
states in which they lived,
always taking great pride in
their accomplishments and use
of their God-given talents.
Lawrence was preceded in
death by his parents, and his
great-grandson, Isaac James
Jensen, whom he will have the
opportunity to meet in heaven.
Left to celebrate his life are
his wife, Betty; daughter,
Sharon Kay Keister and
husband Rex, Beloit; daughter,
Kathryn Jo Grabbe and husband
Dave, Indianapolis, Indiana;
grandchildren,
Lauren
(Kindscher) Jensen and husband
Eric, Golden, Colorado, Allison

Lubbock;
brother,
Merton Eugene Gentleman, Jr.,
Glen Elder; and a host of
nephews, nieces, cousins, and
friends. Lawrence will be dearly
missed by many.
Funeral services will be at 10
a.m. Thursday, July 9, at the
Glen Elder Christian Church
followed by burial in Glenwood
Cemetery. Visitation will be 1-8
p.m. with family present from
6-7 p.m. Wednesday at the

TOPEKA – According to the
Kansas Livestock Association
and Kansas Ag Statistics, there
are 6 million cattle on ranches
and in feed yards in Kansas as
of January 1, 2015. That’s a
little over twice the state’s
human population of about 2.9
million! Cattle and calves
generated $7.75 billion cash
receipts during 2013, which is
about half of the 2013 Kansas
agricultural cash receipts.
According to the American
Meat
Institute,
Kansas
companies
that
produce,
process, distribute, and sell
meat and poultry products
provide employment for as
many as 19,502 people and
generate an additional 48,070
jobs. These jobs include jobs in
companies supplying goods and
services to manufacturers,
distributors and retailers, and
those depending on sales to
workers in the meat industry.
The meat industry was
responsible for generating
$12.9 billion in Kansas during
2012.
Kansas feedlots contained
2.02 million cattle on feed on
June 1, according to the
USDA’s National Agricultural
Statistics
Service.
This
inventory was unchanged from
last year. Placements during
May totaled 345,000 head,
down 21 percent from 2014.
Fed cattle marketings for the
month of May totaled 375,000
head, down 6 percent from last
year. Other disappearance
during May totaled 10,000
head, down 15,000 from last
year.
According to the Kansas City
Star, ranchers paid record prices

annual Lyons Ranch Superior
Genetics Sale near Manhattan
on March 5, 2015. The first bull

out of the gate was sold for
$17,000. The Lyons family sold
103 bulls at an average price of
$8,334 per bull, up 38 percent
from last year. In one day, the
sales
grossed
$858,402.
Ranchers are building up their
herds by buying more bulls and
heifers to take advantage of the
current economics in the beef
industry. There is a shorter
supply of beef, prices are
higher, and there is a strong
demand from consumers.
Kansas has 46 million acres
of farm ground; however, not
all of this land is suited for
growing crops, so cattle are an
ideal mechanism for utilizing
grasses and plants growing on
the 15.5 million acres of
pastureland. These acres would
be wasted if it weren’t for
animals, such as cattle, grazing
these acres and turning them
into important resources for
humans.
