By Rebecca Gray
Mike Cooper, developer for Silver
Fox Estates, requested that the City of
Beloit exchange the two recently
installed wooden light poles on Silver
Fox Lane with more pleasingly
aesthetic poles during the city council
meeting Tuesday evening.
Cooper offered to pay the
difference between the two wooden
poles and metal poles on Silver Fox
Lane because he is of the opinion that
more people will want to build in the
new development if the entire estate
looks new.
“I think you have to consider the
entire North Campus for metal light
poles,” Cooper said. “We have this
nice, new and modern estate for people
to build on and we shouldn’t clutter
everything up with big wooden poles,”
he said.
Silver Fox Estate home owner
Stephanie Litton said her and her
husband Travis chose Beloit because
of the beauty of Silver Fox Estates.
“Now when I come out of my
home, all I see is a big, ugly, faded
wooden pole,” Litton said. “It’s in my
front yard right next to the driveway,”
she said.
Litton explained that people are
excited about the new estate and she
thinks more people are going to want
to build a home there, but it will be
more appealing with modern metal
light poles.
Councilman Bob Petterson asked
Litton if they would be willing to pay
the difference for the light pole next to
their driveway and she said no.
The consensus of the Council was
that the metal poles would look nicer,
but there was concern about the cost.
“I think it would look nice, but it
would be a $30,000 expenditure,”
Mayor Tom Naasz said.
Cooper said the cost would only
be approximately $14,000 for the five
to six light poles needed for the estate.
Director of Electric Operations
Ron Sporleder said cost for a metal
pole with arm and light is
TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism has
teamed up with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas (BCBSKS) to offer
Healthy Fun at the State Parks Day, Sept. 26 with a day when admission to all
Kansas state parks will be free.
A vehicle permit is not required to enter any of the Kansas State Parks,
including Lovewell and Glen Elder. Camping fees are still required if camping
overnight.
“We are pleased to once again partner with the Kansas Department
of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism and sponsor Healthy Fun at the State Parks Day,
Sept. 26. As a home-grown and Kansas-based company, Blue Cross and Blue
Shield of Kansas wants our members – and all Kansans – to lead longer, happier
lives by engaging in outdoor activity, like these you can find at our state parks,”
said Andrew C. Corbin, BCBSKS president/CEO. “From one corner of the state
to the next, Kansas offers a vast array of landscapes in our parks where we can
bike, hike, run, play, horseback ride, hunt, swim, and fish or simply take a
relaxing walk in the fresh air of Kansas.”
In recognition of the special day, BCBSKS has produced a coloring book
featuring illustrations that highlight outdoor activities in eight of the Kansas state
parks and a map of all 26 state park locations. Information about the parks and
educational tips are also included. Coloring books will be available across the
state at state park locations, rest stops, tourism offices and the Kansas State Fair.
“So many Kansans are unaware of the unique terrain and beautiful
landscapes that can be found at Kansas state parks and the fun and healthy
outdoor activities that can be enjoyed at each of the parks,” said KDWPT
Secretary Robin Jennison. “We appreciate the efforts of Blue Cross and Blue
Shield of Kansas to promote a healthy lifestyle to their members and all Kansans.
We’re pleased that the Kansas state parks have been selected to serve as the
centerpiece of this campaign.”
Kansas state parks include 32,200 acres of land; more than 500 miles of
hiking, biking and equestrian trails; more than 280 miles of roads; 10,000
campsites, many with utility hookups; more than 120 rental cabins; and access to
more than 130,000 acres of water.
To find a park near you, visit http://ksoutdoors.com/State-Parks, Questions
can be directed to the Lovewell State Park Office at (785) 753-4971 and Glen
Elder State Park at (785) 545-3345. Additional information is also available on

approximately $1500as compared to
$600 for a wooden pole with arm and
light.
City Administrator Glenn Rodden
said there are disadvantages to having
both, as the wooden poles would
eventually rot and the metal poles
would rust.
Naasz ended the conversation by
saying this is something that would
need to be further discussed with more
information available.
Cooper brought to the council’s
attention that there is a large amount of
debris buried in the Litton’s backyard.
When the Littons attempted to slope
the land in their yard for drainage
purposes, they ran into a pile of buried
debris covering approximately 100 feet
across x 30 feet wide x 3 feet deep.
“It’s huge, not natural, and it’s
everything from limestone pieces to
old steel hubcaps, and it can be seen
from the north,” Mrs. Litton said.
Cooper said the removal of the
debris was covered by the city in the
contract agreement.
Naasz asked City Attorney Katie
Schroeder if the city was responsible
for the removal according to contract.
Schroeder said it was covered and the
city would need to remove the debris
pile.
Naasz asked Rodden to find out
what resources the city has to get the
removal done in a timely manner.
“We need to uphold our end of the
contract and get it done as soon as we
can,” Naasz said.
In other business, a public hearing
was held for the unfit structure at 709
W. Court. Code Enforcement Officer
Chris Jones said environmental code
says property owners are to bring their
property up to code. The owners were
unable to get a contractor to do the
work because they did not have the
funds to pay and subsequently, vacated
the property about three months ago,
he said. The occupants vacated the
property about three months ago, he
said.

Association’s 2015-16 Legacy Scholarships during a presentation at the K-State football game in Manhattan on Sept. 5. One hundred thirty-three Kansas State University students
received 2015-16 Legacy Scholarships
Area KSU students receive Legacy scholarships
MANHATTAN – Recipients
of
the
K-State
Alumni
Association’s
Legacy
Scholarships were recognized
during a presentation at the
Kansas State University football
game in Manhattan on Sept. 5.
The $1,000 scholarships were
awarded to 133 children and
grandchildren of K-State alumni
for the 2015-16 academic year.
K-State students receiving the
scholarship
are
incoming
freshmen as well as current and
transfer students. The recipients
are both in-state and out-of-state
students.
Applicants
are
considered if at least one parent
or grandparent is a K-State
alumnus, with preference given
to members of the Alumni
Association.
“Alumni across Kansas and
the nation have encouraged the
university and Association to
address tuition issues of legacy
students, and this program
greatly assists us in those
efforts,” said Amy Button Renz,
president and CEO of the
Alumni Association. “The
Association’s board of directors
is committed to helping
prospective students attend KState.”
The scholarships are made
possible
through
funds
generated by the K-State
License
Plate
program,
administered by the Alumni
Association for the university.
The state-issued license plates
with the purple Powercat logo
can be found on the back of
more than 7,100 vehicles in
Kansas.
The
program,
administered locally in all 105
county treasurer offices, began
in 1997, and the tax-deductible
royalties paid on K-State
License Plates have raised more
than $2.7 million for student
scholarships and recognition of
achievements.

My wife gave
her ex (her son’s father) a key to
our home without telling me. I
found out when I got home and
he was sitting in our living room
surfing the Web on my laptop.
My wife says she gave him
the key so he can let himself in
on the three nights a month he’s
scheduled to pick up their son
for dinner as part of the custody
agreement. But he has been
making a lot of unscheduled
stops at our house -- to use the
bathroom, have a snack, etc. I
told my wife I don’t like this,
but she said, “Don’t be selfish.
It’s my home, too!” I spoke to
this man politely and told him I
don’t want him letting himself
in, but he replied, “She says I
can come over whenever I like.”
Am I being unreasonable
about this arrangement? I
thought married people are
supposed to agree on things like
this. It’s almost as though I have
to share my home with this man,
and he’s not even a helpful
guest. He’ll eat a generous
amount of food out of the fridge
and leave dirty dishes in the
sink. Last week, he bought his
son a videogame console and
violent videogames, which my
wife and I had previously
agreed would not be allowed in
our home. Father and son will
spend time playing games in his
room when the boy is supposed
to be doing his homework,
sometimes late at night. I know
the guy needs time with his kid,
but there’s no reason why he
can’t take the boy out to eat, to a
movie or to a museum.
The ex never made much
effort to see his son until we
married. This is my first
marriage, and I’ve never had
any kids of my own, so I’m not
entirely sure how to handle it.
But I teach high school, and
I’ve seen one long sad parade of
kids whose parents don’t
maintain authority. So, Annie,
what is the verdict? Should he
have a key or not? -- The
Husband
Our vote is
“not,” especially since he
abuses the privilege. It may be
her house, but it’s also yours.
And while it’s nice to be
welcoming to her son’s father,
he should not have the run of
your home, dropping in
unexpectedly and keeping his
son up all hours. This is not
responsible parenting. It is
indulgence. Dad needs to be as
diligent a parent as Mom. He
cannot be a “fun dad” and do
things Mom would not
otherwise allow. This does a
disservice to the child. Please
ask your wife to get into family
counseling with you to work on
this. Also look into the National
Stepfamily Resource Center
(stepfamilies.info).
This is for
“Confused Family Member,”
whose niece had a large
wedding months after a civil
ceremony.
My daughter also married
civilly two weeks prior to big
wedding bash for legal reasons.
Her husband was being
deployed within the month and
she needed power of attorney in
order to purchase their new
home and do other things. We
did not announce it, so as not to
confuse anyone. And she kept
her maiden name. She is also in
the service, and it saved a lot of
paperwork. -- Tootles

By Deb Hadachek CRE
Psalm 56:3-4: When I am afraid, I will trust
in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I
trust; I will not be afraid.
What can mortal man do to me?
We might think it’s funny what some people
are afraid of. Yet, even irrational fears are real
enough to have names:
Peladophobia: fear of baldness and bald
people.
Aerophobia:
fear
of
drafts.
Porphyrophobia: fear of the color purple.
Chaetophobia: fear of hairy people.
Levophobia: fear of objects on the left side of
the body. Dextrophobia: fear of objects on the
right side of the body. Odontophobia: fear of teeth.
Graphophobia: fear of writing in public. And my
favorite: Phobophobia: fear of being afraid.
A good acronym to apply to your fear is
FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real. Write
down your greatest fear this very moment. Is it
real? Or just something you think might happen or
could happen or did happen to someone on the
television news or to your neighbor’s second
cousin’s friend’s teacher?
When you see your fear written in black and
white, does it still seem so scary? What’s the
worst thing that can happen if you face your fear
and step out in faith? Are you afraid of what other
people will think of you? Are you afraid of
failure?
Fear is a normal human emotion in
response to any situation that is new, different,
or makes us uncomfortable. Mark Twain said
“Courage is not the absence of fear. It is acting
in spite of it.”
Fear might be an
inevitable consequence
For if you forgive men
when they sin against
of life. But it doesn’t
you, your Heavenly
need to keep you from
Father will also
really living.
forgive you. But if you
do not forgive men
“Jesus told him,
their sins, your Father
‘Don’t be afraid; just
will not forgive your
sins.

Jones said it was the
suggestion of the city attorney
that the property be declared an
unfit structure and have it
demolished.
Councilman Matt Otte
asked what the monetary
burden on the city would be to
do this and Jones said
approximately $5000.
The city attorney said it is
clear that the owner will not be
able to pay as they had been to
court regarding the matter.
The resolution for the city
to demolish the property was
adopted.
More light poles for the
city are needed to replace
damaged or rotted poles due to
weather or other causes,
Rodden said. The council voted
unanimously to accept a bid in
the amount of $10,591from the
Kritz-Davis Company for 34
wood poles.
The council accepted a bid
for $11,815 from BRACE
Industrial Group to replace the
aluminum insulation on the
jacket water pipes and heater
tank at the power plant. the
damage was caused by a hail
storm in August of 2014. The
cost will be covered by
insurance.
A bid for $13,200 from
Burns
&
McDonnell
Engineering Company to
complete
Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)
emission testing on engine
number 7 at the power plant
was also approved by the
council. This testing is due
every five years or at the time
of the Operating Permit
renewal as required by the
Kansas Department of Health
and Environment (KDHE).
Power Plant Operations
Foreman Manny Milbers said
the operating permit is up for
renewal
this
year.
He
recommended the bid from
Burns & McDonnell as they
have done the testing twice
before.
Discussion was held on
whether or not to enter into an
agreement with the Kansas
Municipal
Energy
Act
(KMEA) for the purpose of
selling excess energy to Meade
for 12 months, starting in
January.
Rodden said it would be
one to two mega watts of
power per hour and cost would
be credited back monthly to the
city.
The electric operations
director said the city must
purchase a specific amount of
energy and it has not been fully
utilized in the past.
The city’s cost per mega
watt was not available and
councilman Lloyd Littrell
moved to table the conversation
until the information could be
retrieved and then discussed at
the next meeting. The motion
failed with a vote of 2-5.
“I would like to get it done
tonight,” councilman Otte said.
“If we can benefit from it, we
should do it and maybe we will
need help sometime and power
pool will help us if we help
them,” he said.
Rodden said the city would
profit from this agreement and
if they were doing it this year,
the
profit
would
be
approximately $8,000.
The
agreement
was
approved with a vote of 6-1.
Rodden requested that the
council discuss the possibility
of adopting an early retirement
incentive for current employees
who qualify for retirement
under the Kansas Retirement
System for Public Employees
(KPERS), but do not yet
qualify for health care coverage
under Medicare. The policy
would allow a current
employee to retire but stay on
the city’s health care plan for
one year for every 10 years of
service. This policy would only
be extended to current
employees who qualify and
apply by Nov. 30, 2015.
Councilman Rick Brown
said he believes it should be a
permanent policy so the city
can use it as incentive to get
new employees and keep
current employees as well.
Councilman Otte asked
Rodden if he thought the policy
was in the city’s best interest
and if he supported it. Rodden
said he did not think it would
hurt our operations and that it
worked out well the last time
they offered it.
Rodden reported on the
North Campus project and said
work is being done on the
sidewalk and have funding has
been
requested
through
Sunflower. He said the LEC
parking lot is also being
worked on at the same time and
the project should be completed
by the end of the year.

DS-3
James
Wessling,
stationed with the Navy in
Pascagoula, Miss., escaped
injury and loss of property in
Hurricane Elena which came
ashore there Monday.
But, the city of 28,000 was
one of the two hardest-hit areas
and almost every business was
severely damaged when Elena
roared inland after five days of
zigzagging through the Gulf,
forcing hundreds of thousands
of people from their homes in
Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi
and Alabama.
Wessling was able to reach
his parents, Jerry and Shirley
Wessling, Tuesday evening and
reported he was all right. He
said that the apartment he lives
in and his car were undamaged,
though everything else in the
area where he lives in
Pascagoula was damaged by
Elena.
Goals have been attained.
There’s another star to reach
for. And, Carolyn Jo Kirgis is
ready.
She’s leaving early Saturday
morning with family and friends
from Wichita to Atlantic City
and the Miss America Pageant
to be held there next week. The
1985 Miss Kansas will be the
focus of attention here because
she is a home product.

Lynch and Mitchell County
Bank President Steve Redman,
balloons were released to
symbolize the “lift-off” into
future community development
projects.
Beloit
City
Council
has
approved placement of a
memorial
for
county
emergency
personnel
at
Chautauqua Park.
Beloit Police Chief Pat Shea
told council Tuesday that the
stone memorial would be
placed in the park, facing the
mill dam.
Though the memorial was
prompted by the death of
Officer Dan Trail, who
drowned while attempting a
water rescue earlier this
summer, it has broader
significance.
“This isn’t just ‘the Dan Trail
memorial’,” Shea said. “It’s a
memorial to emergency service
personnel.”
A local member of the
Kansas Authors Club has had
her first article published in a
national magazine. Lesley
Gentry’s piece, called “Saving
Liza Jane” came out in the
October edition of Cats
Magazine, a publication based
out of Palm Coast, Fla., which
claims to be America’s oldest
cat publication.
Liza Jane is now an adult
lion, who was just days old in
September of 1993 when she
was taken to the Beloit
Veterinary Clinic. The clinic is
run by Lesley’s husband Bob
and
his
partner
Al
Collingwood.
The cub was one of three
born to an African lioness.
Shortly after the triplets were
born, the mother accepted only
one of the cubs. One of the
other two died, and Liza Jane,
besides being rejected by her
mother, also appeared to have a
neck injury and couldn’t hold
her head up.
Lesley, who has loved
animals all her life, made the
cub a special project.

Former Beloit resident Darin
File is looking forward to his
year at Missouri University in
Columbia, where if he stays
healthy, he plans to continue
competing in the javelin.
He has been at the school for
less than two weeks, and hadn’t
even competed in any school
track mess, when he broke
Missouri’s school record with a
throw of 205-6 at the PanAmerican
Junior
Championships in Santiago,
Chile, on Sept. 5.
A $500,000 Centennial
Renovation Project of St. John
the Baptist Catholic Church,
Beloit, is planned to be
completed by the parish
centennial year of 2004.
A committee has been
formed to obtain technical data,
raise funds, and complete the
project within a two- to fouryear time frame. One hundred
years of weathering has caused
structural damage, which, if not
addressed, could permanently
damage the structure.
St. John the Baptist Catholic
Church, a magnificent structure
combining Romanesque and
Gothic styles of architecture,
was the first church in the
United States build with flying
buttresses and a ceiling
constructed entirely of stone.
At the time of its construction,
from 1900 to 1904, St. John’s
was the largest church west of
the Mississippi River.
