take part in auction
for Deming property
The town of Oswego was booming with people last Friday and Saturday as the Deming mansion auction got
underway. It took two days to sell the antiques, furnishings and other personal possessions. The mansion property was set to be sold at or above $150,000. One bid of $150,000 came through, but the buyer had a change
of mind. Another bid was made, but only for $50,000. “The $50,000 bid was subject to court approval and a
decision later came from an attorney that the bid was not accepted., realtor David Holmes said.

Breakfast tour at Great Plains Industrial Park draws area leaders
Sixteen members of an informal group known as Labette County Business Leaders met at Great Plains Industrial Park on Thursday morning for breakfast and a
presentation by Great Plains’ staff. Following a number of questions the group toured the property, going inside several buildings. The business leaders group
meets for breakfast each month at Bartlett Co-op to discuss the common challenges of rural communities. Great Plains chairman Dan Peterson and CEO Daniel
Mann, participants in the group’s meetings, were asked to host the breakfast this month to help members better understand the opportunities the redevelopment
project offers for the county. Information about this group can be obtained by contacting Perry Ellis at Bartlett Co-op or Dan Peterson.

Corny thoughts about pickin’ it
It's corn shelling time in
Kansas.
Time to pick the crop.
Not cut it. Not combine it.
Farmers thumb their
noses at such expressions.
You cut wheat. You pick
corn.
But if you're a longtime
corn farmer, it's shellin'
time.
Here's the thing: Prices
aren't all that great with
crops this year. It's because
farmers do too good a job at
feeding the world.
Out in western Kansas,
elevator operators haven't
even shipped most of the
wheat they bought from
farmers back in June. Near
Yoder, there's a 5-million
bushel mountain of wheat
stored on an old Naval runway. Same at Oakley and
Minneola.
Local cooperatives often
store the grain they buy, at
least for a few months until
the prices go up. But with the
price of wheat still really low,
they're piling it up for another month or so.
Meanwhile, the corn,

Ask Jack...
A couple of weeks ago I
turned sixty-five years old.
That used to be the standard
retirement age at a lot of companies, and was cause for a
retirement party and the presentation of the obligatory
gold watch. I guess that’s not
the case anymore as I’m still
waiting for the party and the
watch.
People who are self-employed don’t have some of the
“perks” as employees with a
regular job. Pensions, paid
vacations, paid sick leave, or
company paid insurance are
not usually a part of the equation. Now, to top it off, I didn’t
even get a retirement party!
For those of us who are
self-employed, retirement requires a significant amount
of planning, and the planning
needs to start long before
turning sixty-five. Too many
small business owners spend
all their time concentrating on
running the business, and neglect to address how they will

pay for their retirement years.
There’s an old adage that says,
“Pay yourself first.” But that’s
difficult for a business owner
who has to pay everyone else
first before taking a dime. Regardless, it’s important to establish some sort of retirement
plan in order to be able to walk
away from working every day.
Don’t operate your company year after year in a way
to avoid paying taxes. That results in two things; it will make
it difficult to sell, and it will
lessen the amount of any Social Security benefits you hope
to receive. Be smart, plan
early, and retire when you’re
ready.

Oswego should hold a mansion sale every week.
Hundreds of spectators and buyers came to town last
week to see what bargains they might find as the historic Deming mansion and its contents went up for
auction. So far, nothing final on the mansion itself, but
we sure hope someone with deep pockets and lots of
TLC will buy it soon.

The fall season is almost here and
with it comes lots of warm smells,
pumpkin spice lattes, apple picking at Brenda’s Berries, coloring leaves and just a wee bit of excitement
from all those who love autumn.
Yes, I know that technically fall doesn’t start until
Thursday, Sept. 22, but you just can’t help but be excited
for what’s coming!
I was reminded of this on Sunday, when I had one of my
little four-year old ladies come and say to me, “Wis-a-ba!
Me and mommy…we baked a pumpkin pie
on a pumpkin day! Then us danced with
daddy and ate the pie. It was so good! Then
us went to bed.”
I was later able to ask her dad about
this epic pumpkin day and he confirmed
that not only did she help grow the pumpkin but she also helped make the pumpkin
pie!
Part of the reason fall is so exciting,
is that it brings new growth. Apple trees ELISABETH RUCKER

and kale are growing and almost ready for
harvest, mums are blooming brightly, and
there just seems to be an air of hope that comes with new
life in the fall.
It reminds me of the excitement and hope that Christians have after being saved from a life of sin. After being
saved, Christians are given hope.
Hope of new life and the ability to produce new, good
fruits, or actions, that glorify God and produce joy within us,
instead of living in a constant state of sin.
We have hope that our lives, hearts, and relationships
can be made new because the God of the universe has given
us new life and the ability to conquer sin. Isn’t that amazing? I am so thankful that the Creator of the universe gives
new life and hope, both in season and out of season.

During a year when the presidential race
is beyond crazy, it is reassuring to witness the
state legislative races in this area.
Yard signs are going up in all towns, and
many candidates are making door-to-door
treks to get acquainted.
Most of those running hold common views
on rural Kansas values, and even their political
opinions are quite similar, regardless of party
affiliation.
The Kansas political landscape needs a
good shaking, and it's getting it. Coming out of
the recent primary election, several longtime
legislators --- mostly Brownback loyalists ---
lost their bids for re-election. It sets up a much
better camp in Topeka for lawmaking as moderation is making a much-needed return.
It's far from an outright sweep, and that's
good, too. There's nothing wrong with keeping
a good amount of conservative thinking in the
Legislature. But it was getting too heavy to the
right and needed some balance.
The ballot box is still the civil way to make
such adjustments in course.
We only wish the presidential races carried
such a common sense line of campaigning.

Had a little vacation last
Wednesday through Monday with my sister, Mona
Rathmel of Dallas, Texas.
This wasn’t a working
trip, just a fun one as we
headed back to New York
City, the Big Apple, again.
This was my sixth trip
there. It is so big, and there
are still plenty of things to
go see and do.
The weather was great
and we walked a total of
31.60 miles; 85,656 steps
and 21 flights climbed - give
or take a few. Our iPhones
didn’t seem to register as
my legs are longer than
hers.
We took in the Broadway
musical, “Waitress” about a
pie maker stuck in a small
town with hopes of having
her own pie shop. They even
offered small jars of pie for
$10. No, I didn’t buy one --I want a whole pie for that,
not four bites. We toured

Being fidgety is probably not
the best way to read a book
With the mercury on the thermometer inching down and the Farmer’s Almanac predicting
a snowy and cold winter, I find myself wishing I
was a better reader. In my mind, curling up on
a cold day with a big book in hand is just about
the ultimate in the combination of comfort and
intelligence.
Unfortunately, I’m not good at reading. Oh,
I have no problem reading the words but I’m
just not good at the sport of it. You have to be
calm, focused, and willing to let your mind be
totally devoted to that book. And darnit, I’m
fidgety.
A book has to grab me not only in the first
chapter, but even in the artwork on the cover.
So that already rules out most of the classics
from Shakespeare and Charles Dickens that
aren’t exactly known for their book jackets.
The book also has to be a fast read, one
that I can skim the boring parts and still get
the point of the story. It even helps if the condensed version is online so I can catch the highlights there.
And of course, finding
a time and location to best
suit a good read is essential. Sitting next to the window makes me want to clean
them.
Reading in bed only
makes me that much sleepier. And reading outside has always been a
mystery to me because my experience has
been that I use the book as a bug swatter and
ultimately a drink coaster.
I have always believed that smart people
are good readers. That’s why my bedside table is filled with books and the Kindle app on
my phone is always chiming to notify me that
my last four books are all still only 15% read.
So, it’s fun to anticipate those cold winter
days ahead and the idea of curling up with a
good book.
I just need clean windows, no bugs, a good
night’s rest and a pretty book cover.
Then I’m ready to be a smart book reader.
Ode to that handy umbrella
Nearly everyone has an umbrella, but are you aware that
there are so many kinds and
so many names for one? There
are rain umbrellas, baby umbrellas, patio umbrellas, beach
umbrellas, or golf umbrellas.
They are very useful objects that can be hand-held, or
mounted to be most effective.
They can be manually operated or spring loaded. Some even
have a mechanism for tilting
while others are stationary.
Whatever type you need,
there is a solution. The greatest of interest are the names
that have been given them over
the years.
Specific names have been
given in literature, others have
come from children’s fond reference to them, and others are
suspected to have come from a
sense of humor. Mary Poppins
had a magical use for her umbrella.

The sermon series entitled
“Time,” will continue this Sunday, Sept. 4. The new series is
about “Time” because it is
gradual - only happening a
day at a time. “When we come
to understand the great value
of time, it is easy to see why
it is essential for us as Christians to honor God with our
Time,” Pastor Steve McBrien
said. You are invited to attend
the Morning Worship at 10:45

the service.

The prayerless nation
discussed at First Southern
Pastor Ed Pope’s message
at the First Southern Baptist
Church was taken from James
4 on the topic of, “Prayerlessness in our Nation.” The first
reason people fail to pray is
their sense of self sufficiency.
They have everything they
want. They can buy it by cash
or on credit. They feel they
don’t need the church and
don’t need God. Our nation
needs a spiritual awakening.
Many people, even Christians,
pray selfish prayers with the
wrong motives.
They try to bargain with
God. They want God to do
what will help them. Christians should be praying for a
renewal in our land. We need
to pray for God to send a revival and to let it begin with
us. People often become selfindulgent and are most interested in working for material things rather than being
spiritually minded. We often
see strife in churches where
the church members have
disagreements over trivial
things. When a cat gets its
fur rubbed the wrong way,
the cat needs to turn around.
Like the cat, we sometimes
need to change our attitudes
or viewpoints to make things
go smoother.
According to statistics,
seven out of ten people do not
have a relationship with Jesus Christ. That means that
there are eight hundred to
nine hundred lost people in
Oswego. The local church has
failed to reach the lost. According to the Bible, evangelism is not a gift, but a duty.
It is our Christians duty to tell
others about Jesus.
Everyone is invited to join
the church for breakfast and

Rebuild fescue lawns
with fall fertilizer
Fescue turfgrass is a coolseason grass. Cool-season
grasses begin a new growth
cycle in late summer when
nighttime temperatures drop
and stay consistently cool.
Because of this it’s an excellent opportunity to assist in
the lawn’s recovery caused by
weeds, wear and summer heat
stress.
The transition into fall is
often accompanied by rainfall. Along with cooler nights,
available soil moisture is an
important stimulator that
awakens fescue grass plants
made dormant by summer
heat. If late summer rainfall
is in short supply it’s helpful to
thoroughly irrigate the lawn at
this time in late August.
Fertilizer is typically applied to the lawn in early fall
when the fescue grass begins
to show signs of new growth.
Lawn fertilizer is formulated
with a high percentage of nitrogen, usually at least twenty
percent or more. The other
two fertilizer elements supplied by the fertilizer are
phosphate and potash. Phosphate fertilizer should only be
applied if a soil test indicates
a need.
A typical lawn fertilizer
may have an analysis of 29-05 (there’s no phosphate in this
fertilizer – the second number
is phosphate and the third
number is potash). The application rate for the early Sep-
tember application is approximately five to seven pounds of
lawn fertilizer for each 1,000
square feet of lawn area.
You’ll need to measure your
lawn’s area and calculate how
much fertilizer you’ll need to
apply.
After applying the fertilizer
thoroughly irrigate the lawn.
Irrigating helps dissolve the
fertilizer and move it into soil
where it can be taken up by the
grass roots. Early fall fertilization of the fescue lawn is a very
important lawn management
practice because it improves
leaf growth and crown development. The result is a denser,
stress and wear-resistant turf
with a more even appearance.

LCHS students showcase business talents at the national level
Altamont, KS – Every year,
Future Business Leaders of
America (FBLA) members
compete in events such as
tests, speeches, and presentations for the opportunity
to showcase their talents in
business. Their preparations
begin in January as they prepare for the district competition. Those who place in their
respective events at district
then compete at the state
level, each striving to qualify
for the FBLA National Leadership Conference (NLC). Only a
select few qualify for the NLC
each summer.
This summer, five students
from Labette County High
School traveled to Atlanta, Ga.
to connect with almost 10,000
other future business leaders
from around the country. Jes-
sica Brooks, junior, competed
in social media campaign;
Jade Davis, Alison Hinman,
and Logan Meyer, sophomores, competed in Introduction to Business Presentation;

LCC committee holds memorial auction
A book scholarship committee at Labette Community
College is helping students financially through a book loan
program, the Debbie Groff
Memorial Book Scholarship.
The committee began
a live and silent auction of
homemade desserts, baked
goods, savory items to raise
funds for the book scholarship. Funds raised help students each semester utilize
textbooks that they are loaned
during the semester and then
must return at the end of the
semester.
“The auction held last
week raised $3,278 for the
Debbie Groff Book scholarship,” committee member and
Director of Student Support
Services, Kelly Kirkpatrick
said.
Since the fall of 2013, over
$14,000 has been raised for
the Debbie Groff Memorial
Book Scholarship. For fall,
spring and summer of 201516 there were 625 applications for books and the Debbie
Groff Memorial book scholarship was able to help 350 students.
The Debbie Groff Memorial book scholarship is a program supported by the Faculty, Professional Staff Group,
and Educational Support Staff

Labette Avenue
Commissioners
approve budget
for next year
BY RUDY TAYLOR
LABETTE AVENUE
Labette County Commissioners on Monday approved
the 2017 budget. Immediately
afterward, they also approved
the budget for special districts
in the county, such as cemeteries and townships.
During the budget hearings, there were no comments
from the public.
All three commissioners
noted that the budget process
was longer this year, and required many special work sessions and meetings.
A budget of $14,394,414
was approved which will require a levy of 61.807. A final
figure on the levy will be set
later in the year once valuations are established and delinquent taxes are deducted.
Total valuation for the
county is up slightly this year.
In other issues discussed at
the meeting:
√ Mike Meyers, representing the Public Works Department, recommended a tire
purchase.
Sixteen Hankook drive
tires for the county's dump
trucks will be purchased for
$5,040 from Bartlett Coop.
Also, eight 16-play Gladiator tires will be bought from
Cross Midwest for $2,192.
√ Commissioners voted to
accept a proposal from Mike
Meyer who represented Higher Calling Technologies on a
back-up system for the county's computer systems.
The new back-up system will cost $2,000 upfront
for hardware, plus $429 per
month.
Meyer said this would be
an enhancement to current
back-up procedures.
√ The commissioners announced they planned to meet
with Lee Ann Spencer from
the Labette Assistance Center
regarding a program called
CA$H IDA. Their meeting will
be on Sept. 12.
√ The commission voted to
approve a speed limit change
on North 8th in Chetopa from
the city limits to 4000 Road.
It will now become 30 m.p.h.
rather than 55 m.p.h. as previously enforced along that roadway. Signs will be posted.
Scout leaders receive certifications
John Ferguson, Scoutmaster, Justin Russell receiving
certification and David Williams was the Troop guide for
the Beaver Patrol. Justin Russell of Altamont received beads
and certification as a Wood

Badge is the highest level of

in 1936 by the founder of Boy

Harold Walls has spent his entire life on the farm. That’s sure where
he would rather be now, but that’s just not possible. He has some more
recuperation time coming his way before he can return home. Home N
Sight is helping Harold work toward that goal.
A few weeks ago, Harold fell in his bathroom at home and got a nasty
bump on his head. After a week in the hospital, Dr. Gillis recommended additional rehabilitation via a short-term stay at Home N Sight.
Harold enjoys a comfortable, private room while our staff of professional aides and nurses sees to his every need. Our on-site therapy
department communicates with Harold’s doctor to make sure he continues to make progress toward his goal of going back home.
It’s our pleasure to help patients like Harold get better and return to
the place they love and call home. If you could use some help recovering from illness, injury or surgery, call us today.

“I stayed at Windsor Place a number of years ago after I had a stroke. They helped me get better then, and I’m counting on them to do the
same thing again this time. The treat me really nice. I work a lot with the therapy department, sometimes twice a day. My stay here at Home
N Sight has been really good, but I’m sure looking forward getting back home. With Home N Sight’s help, that should be really soon.”
