CROSS COUNTY ONE ACT

FROM THE DESK OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT - BRENT HOLLINGER
Time is flying by fast! It is hard for me to
comprehend that we are just a couple weeks away from
Thanksgiving break. The fall sports seasons are
finished, One Act is already competing, and orange
balls are bouncing in the gym! The first basketball
game is under a month away (December 3) and the first
wrestling meet is also just under a month away
(December 5). Our One Act crew got off to a good
start to the season by placing 8th at a very tough Loup
City invite. Great job!
We did NOT have school on November 6, as it was a
staff development day. In the morning, we invited all
stakeholders to participate in a perception data retreat.
Great discussions were had with teachers, non-certified
staff, students, parents, and community members and
very good information was gleaned from those
discussions. I want to thank those who took some time
out of their day to come out and share their perceptions
on what we do well and what areas we can improve on.
The rest of the day included Rtl, PBIS, and Marzano
instructional strategies training. It was a very
productive day!
The monthly Board Meeting was November 9. Four
action items were on the agenda for approval. The
Board approved activating the Early Retirement
Incentive Program and also approved the Cross County
technology plan. Both of these items are yearly
requirements to be voted on by the Board of Education.
The Board also approved a land management proposal
that came out of committee and also approved hiring
EGAN to refinish the west gym floor.
Cross County hosted CRC One Act competition on
November 18. Our 3rd Annual “COUGAR
ACADEMY” will be held Friday, November 20 at
2:30 pm. At the Cougar Academy, we recognize the
academic achievements of our students in grades 3-12
with the State NeSA tests. We have a large group of
students once again who scored perfect scores on their
NeSA tests!! Last, but not least, I wanted to let you
know that we are hosting our own Robotics
Tournament on Saturday, November 21. Our Robotics
Program over the years has competed very well at the
State, National, and Global levels and this is a great
opportunity to watch our kids “do their thing” in
competitive competitions with their robots. So many
great things going on at Cross County!
Until next time…..GO COUGARS!!

It is not only loudly hinted, but it is afar broadcasted
that Benedict ranks ahead of other schools in the state
in districts of similar proportions, which should force
Supt. Tyler and his coterie of instructors to take
another hich in their belts in order to command the
attention of schools of the diameters of York. Now’s
the time and opportunity to show the material out of
which the student body of Benedict’s school is made.

Quite a few number of farmers are expecting to be

Don’t forget the Thanksgiving dinner and supper in

A MEMORY OF THE PAST…..

The Benedict Booster!
Frank Propst, country treasurer, gives it out that he is
thru with itch for office. Still, such a decision may not
be final.
=====
It is an established fact that the average individual
would rather be charged with “malicious intent,” than
to be charged with the offense of making a “blunder.”
Instances can be cited if you so demand.
=====
It is estimated that the cornfields of this county have
presented their owners with a yield of 26 bushels per
acre this year. Rather a poor average, it seems to me,
when I read of 100 bushel averages on old and worn
out lands in the older states. Sometimes I am prone to
question if such results are the results of farming?

FROM A READER
The following is from the September 12, 2015 issue
of The San Diego Union Tribune. Lynn is the son of
Imo Richardson of York.
Animal Doc A Rare Breed
Story By Deborah Sullivan Brennan
When Imani, an 18-yeaar-old gorilla at the San Diego
Zoo Safari Park, developed labor complications during
the delivery of her first baby last year, zoo officials
reached out to George Lynn Richardson, an Encinitas
veterinary surgeon whose patient roster includes
everything from horses to rhinos and elephants.
Richardson, 63, of Encinitas, assisted zoo
veterinarians during the surgery, and Imani delivered a
healthy baby girl, Joanne.
Richardson developed his specialty with exotic
animals through work with race horses in Southern
California. Since then he’s repaired fractures, removed
tumors and assisted in births for animals from around
the world. He talks about some of his most challenging
cases.
Q: How did you decide to become a veterinary
surgeon for large animals?
A: Having grown up on a farm in Nebraska, I knew
that I wanted to live somewhere that wasn’t so cold
and nasty in the winter. My initial pursuit to that
end had me do my undergraduate and veterinary
school training in Florida. An externship in
veterinary school was at Santa Anita and
Hollywood Park racetracks with noted racetrack
practitioner Greg Ferraro, who introduced me to
Southern California and also to the equine surgeons
at UC Davis veterinary school. That led to
internship and residency training at UC Davis
following graduation from veterinary school. I
knew at that time that I wanted to do more than
general practice and actually loved doing
emergency surgery on horses.
Q: How did you get started in San Diego?
A: I moved to the San Diego area to start my specialty
referral, veterinary surgery and sports medicine
practice for horses at the Helen Woodward Equine
Hospital in Rancho Santa Fe in 1988. Prior to that
I had lived in La Canada while working on the
thoroughbred racetracks in Southern California.
Q: What are some of the exotic animals you treat, and
what surgery do they need?
A: I have worked on the small dik-dik gazelle species
up to the rhino and elephants. I usually am

involved with the hoof stock in that they have more
things in common with the domestic hoofed
animals that I have been trained for. The problems
that may require surgery include fracture repair,
abdominal surgery to remove intestinal stones or
other foreign bodies, hernia repair and surgery of
the reproductive tract.
How did you become involved in treating exotic
animals?
In 1994, I had a horse-owning client who worked
with the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park asked me
if I would be interested in doing some work with
them. I was asked to consult on a case involving
one of the elephants that was lame at the Zoo Safari
Park. I worked together with the veterinary staff
and we made a treatment plan based on what would
be done with a similar lameness problem in a horse.
More cases followed and now it’s been 21 years
assisting the veterinary staffs with some of their
complex surgical problems.
What were the challenges of the gorilla C-section
you performed last year?
The biggest challenge of that surgery was not being
able to grasp a limb of the fetus through the uterus
and make an incision right over it outside the
abdomen like I am used to doing in domestic
animals. The wall of the uterus was two to three
times the thickness of nonprimate uteri, which
made closure much different. The other challenge
was that the keepers indicated prior to surgery that
the gorilla was a “picker,” meaning that if there was
anything sticking out of her skin she would be
picking at it. So I used a couple extra deep suture
lines and buried the skin sutures and followed that
by sealing the wound with the surgical version of
super glue. The incision healed without a blemish
and she never looked back.
How do you adapt surgical techniques for domestic
animals to exotic animals?
Surgery is surgery regardless the species. There are
anatomical differences that can make doing
abdominal surgery in a rhino with skin that is at
least an inch thick a bit challenging just getting into
the abdomen. There have been specialized
laparoscopes and anesthesia equipment custommade for rhinos and elephants. Using casts on a
rhino with an orthopedic problem requires a few

extra rolls of the cast tape and some reinforcement
to allow the cast to survive to do its job.
Q: What are some recent advances in veterinary
surgery?
A: Improvements in ventilation during anesthesia have
been a big benefit. Specialized endoscopic
equipment has made these diagnostic procedures
more common in zoo animals. Orthopedic surgical
instruments and implants have improved
significantly in the past 20 years, making fracture
repair better. Digital radiography is a wonderful
advance making immediate access to the image
possible.
Q: What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
A: Follow your passion and do what you love to do.
Q: What’s the one thing people would be surprised to
find out about you?
A: That I get up before the sun comes up every
morning and get in the ocean for a surf session.
Q: Please describe your ideal San Diego weekend.
A: It would start in the ocean before the sun comes up,
followed by breakfast with colleagues or friends.
