Where is Labette Avenue. We know
some of you are making interesting
vacation memories this summer.
The City of Edna’s citywide rummage sale is scheduled for Saturday,
June 4, starting at 8 a.m. Maps will
be available at local businesses on
Friday, June 3, and early Saturday at
The Woodshed on the corner of 101

If you haven’t had homemade ice
cream yet, it is time to get out those
freezers from storage. There is nothing like hearing those freezers turn
and then tasting the good old flavor
of the real stuff.
Over 300 hangers were given
away at the OCC clothing give-away
on Friday, May 20 and Saturday, May
21. The items left behind from that
day will be donated to gifts for the
nations in Mound Valley.

Bev Huffman of Oswego took many good photos last weekend, among them this one at the Oswego Cemetery. With clouds forming the
backdrop, and Bev’s finesse’ of working her lens, the result was an inspirational sight, all in celebration of Memorial Day, and memories of
those who have served this country in uniform. Memorial Day services were held in many area communities in southern Labette County
... and across this nation.

Ready, set ... it’s summertime!
So, with Memorial Day behind us, we’re officially
into summer. It’s always fun to enter summer because
we all have ideas about what we’ll do for fun. I’ve got
some ideas myself, and I hope you do, too. For one
thing, we’ll be planning and promoting the biggest
event of the year for our area ... the Labette County
Fair, July 16-23. Can’t wait! So, let’s get on with summertime!

Crazy weather is
still a Kansas thing
Weathermen can’t always be 100 percent accurate on predicting the
weather. With all their instruments they have to test
out the atmosphere and predictions God still has control
over the weather. That happened this Memorial Day.
It was a beautiful Monday
morning and the crew were
out at the Oswego Cemetery
at 6:30 to put up the Avenue
of Flags, all 285 of them, and
in record time, I might add,
45 minutes they were up.
Thanks to the many people
that came and helped, lot
of new and younger people
helping made a big difference. A little later we saw
the clouds moving and heard
thunder in the distance
around 11. A couple of hours
later we had rain. It was
decided to leave the flags
in hope that they would get
dried out by 5:30 p.m., Tuesday night and bring them
down.

It was an awful experience
for a mother and her son at the
Cincinnati Zoo last week when
the boy fell into a gorilla cage
and was in the hands of a huge
gorilla.
The little boy was drug
around in water by the gorilla
as the mother stood above and
tried to talk to her son.
If you are a parent, you
know how quick a child can
leave your side or get into stuff
they shouldn’t. In fear of the
boy’s life, the authorities finally
killed the gorilla to save the
boy.
We hear pro and con on the
subject but as a mother, I can’t
imagine being in that situation and what could have happened. We aren’t to judge. The
zookeepers are the professionals and did what they believed
was the right thing to do in the
circumstance.

Correction
In last week’s Labette Avenue on the front page, the
story, “City of Oswego sets
new signs at cemetery,” it
should have read The Oswego Cemetery Association sets
new signs at cemetery. The
City of Oswego doesn’t have
anything to do with the cemetery. Bill Cunningham and
Dallas Casey are both employed by the Oswego Cemetery Association. Labette

Gardening
As I stood and listened to the memorial service in Altamont yesterday,
I couldn’t help but stop and look around the cemetery.
The bright, green grass I was standing on was
neatly cut and kept; the row of trees making the border
of the cemetery were standing tall, tons of fake and real
flowers along with a multitude of flags had been placed all
around while the folks in front of me were enjoying their
visit and reminiscing the good ‘ole days.
In one part of the cemetery there are the most beautiful
peonies planted. These peonies have been
there for years and I have always admired
them as they have seemingly withstood the
test of the hot sun, rain, winter, drought,
and much more. Through it all, they have
even been able to maintain their color and
scent.
As I continued to listen to the pastor
speak I couldn’t help but be thankful for the

Members of the Kansas Legislature hold the
answer to a dogged problem with local schools
in Kansas --- primarily how to appease the
State Supreme Court as the lawmakers stir the
finance formula in Topeka.
Last Friday, the court ruled that one portion
of the school finance formula devised by the
Legislature was unconstitutional, and it must
be fixed by June 30 or face the closure of public
schools.
In the big picture, it’s an easy problem to
cure, and the cost could be as little as $40-$50
million --- a small sum when applied statewide.
But first, lawmakers must meet, talk and come
up with revisions that the court will accept.
In typical fashion, however, we’re hearing
the governor and elected lawmakers talking
about “the liberal court” and its overreach.
That’s hardly the issue as we get closer to
the June 30 deadline. Our children --- those
who attend Kansas public schools --- need to
know everything is ok, and that someone out
there is watching out for them.
Teachers, administrators and all school
employees deserve to know their future.
The Legislature returns to Topeka on
Wednesday for a one-day “sine die” session.
Yes, they can take up this school finance issue
and resolve it quickly, because it has a sure fix.
But instead, they plan to discuss transgender
bathrooms, and might wade into a move that
would favor a Pittsburg billionaire who owes
the state $50 million.
They might also debate whether to override
the governor’s tax package, and take care of
housekeeping issues.
What we hope to hear is an ounce of concern over the standoff between the Legislature
and the Supreme Court. It is stifling local school
leaders as they try to plan for the fall semester,
especially when they read one key line in the
court’s opinion:
“If the legislature fails to act, no constitutionally valid school finance system exists
through which funds for fiscal year 2017 can
lawfully be raised, distributed or spent.”
That means: Get it right or close all schools.
It is the lawmakers’ move, and they have an
obligation to make it quickly.
They need to convince the Supreme Court
that a good faith effort is being made, then ask
for a stay in the June 30 deadline, giving them
time to hold a special legislative session to deal
with this important issue.
It’s not a time for finger-pointing, nor for
partisan games.
This is a time for adults in the Kansas Legislature, and the Governor of Kansas, to look
squarely in the faces of students, parents and
educators across this state and say in unison,
“We’ve got your backs.”
It’s been a while, you know.

U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran is suffering from the
same malady that afflicts Gov. Sam Brownback and Sec. of State Kris Kobach --- all of
them feel an urgency to dabble in local elections that don’t involve them.
If there was ever a time when state officials should keep their heads down and remain focused upon the State of Kansas, not
local legislative races, it is now.
Already, local volunteers wearing Moran
t-shirts have been seen going door to door
in Shawnee County campaigning for State
Rep. Brett Hildabrand, a Republican who has
drawn an “unproven” opponent from the same
party.
It smacks of big money, and there is no
doubt where their interests lie --- in the camps
of those promising to support straight-ticket
Republican issues in the Kansas Legislature.
We don’t need that.
Kansas needs to be represented by individual thinkers, regardless of their party affiliation.
In our own local region, we’re seeing good
candidates filing for State Representative and
State Senate positions. They should be left untethered and allowed to develop their own opinions after listening to those who will vote for
them.
The big guns aren’t needed in this year’s
legislative races.
After all, their history isn’t all that impressive.

It was a touching veteran’s program
Sunday evening on the
public television station was a
beautiful tribute to our fallen
veterans. Much care was taken in presenting it. The story
of one survivor in the worst
battle of each of the Viet Nam
Conflict and World War II were
told. A lovely song was played
in tribute to each of the wars.
It was very uplifting and well
portrayed.
One story told was of a Viet
Nam vet who was severely
wounded and who took ten
years to get the full use of his
body again. He went to college
and as his thesis he designed a
veterans’ hospital which would
better serve those who were
injured. He dedicated his life to
visiting and helping those who
were severely wounded. Even
today he visits those who are
wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan and tries to help them
adjust and cope with the problems of transition.
As the story was told, a

visual background was showing the same story, which had
been well chosen from actual
videos. Very accomplished
voices sang fitting songs played
by the national orchestra under a sky that was dripping
rain in Washington D. C.
The color guards for each
branch of the service marched
on stage in the colorful dress
uniforms. A military medley of each branches’ theme
song was played. As each new
theme song began, those who
had served under that branch
stood up and sang with the
choir. It was a touching sight.
Former Secretary of Defense
Colin Powell spoke briefly as
did a chosen leader of each
branch.
The Beach Boys who have
been a representative of many
years for the 60’s music that
was popular while the Viet
Nam fighting men were defending our way of life. It
was fun to see the gleam
in the survivors’ eyes while
they mouthed the words and
swayed to the music.
Everyone joined to sing
God Bless America to finish
the evening.
One could not help but
shed a tear for the youth that
turned much older under severe circumstances. They
gave so much and are still giving to make our lives better.
Children of these men are now
middle aged people who also
have survived the painful loss
of a parent. Spouses of these
men and women were also
visibly present to show their
dedication to those who were
lost.
God bless them all!

Are we viewers or doers?
The First Southern Baptist Church met together for
breakfast and Sunday School
followed by worship service.
Interim Pastor, Ed Pope’s
message, was taken from
James 1:22-25. Christians are
to be doers of the Word, not
just viewers. Being a Christian
can be compared to a basketball game. The people who
are doing something are the
ones who make the difference.
Christianity is not a spectator
sport. We need to participate
in the work of God. Paul compared living a Christian life
with a boxing match, sport-
lives that God does not know
about. God does not cause our
hardships, but He will get us
through whatever comes our
way.
We should ask ourselves if
we are making a difference,
and make a commitment to
become a doer, not just a
hearer.
Everyone is invited to join
the church for breakfast and
Sunday School at 9:30 a.m.
with church following at 10:45
a.m. The church is located at
1228 North Street in Oswego.
ing contest, and a race. Those
who are hearers only decieve
themselves by thinking they
are pleasing God.
Just hearing God is not
enough. We need to use God’s
Word to strengthen ourselves.
Hearers are also deceived by
thinking God’s Word is talking about someone else and
does not pertain to them. Doers know that the Word needs
to be lived out, not just looked
at. God reveals to us as we are
able to receive it, and we receive blessings and grow closer to the Lord when we serve
Him. Nothing comes into our

1 p.m. Nelson is 32nd at 4A State
By Robin Oldham
LABETTE AVENUE
Labette
County
High
School senior Tanner Nelson represented the Grizzly
golf program at the 4A State
Tournament at Bentwood Golf
Course in Ulysses on May 23,
placing 32nd among some 100
golfers.
Nelson shot an 83 in the
sunny, warm and lengthy
tournament.
“Tanner played a very
complete round of golf,” said
LCHS coach Jack Leake. “For
nearly seven hours he maintained good focus and gave
each shot his best. This isn’t as
easy to do as some people who
don’t golf may think.”
Leake also lauded Nelson’s
leadership.
“He has been a granite pillar to our program over the
last four years,” said Leake. “I
appreciate what he has done
for us in his career.”
The 4A state champion
was the SEK League’s Clete
Carlson of Chanute, with a
score of 74. Several other SEK
players placed among the top
20.
Leake: “All of us coaches
and players here in our league
are close, and we pull for each
other and each others’ kids.”
Hays High School won the
team championship.

A Kernel Saved is a Kernel Earned
Harvesting for Higher Quality Wheat

favorite among residents and
staff for her efficiency and
upbeat attitude, and she will
receive a bonus for this recognition. The Chetopa Manor
family wishes to congratulate

It’s hard to believe, but
wheat harvest is nearly upon
us. The great waves of golden grains are often seen as a
symbol of Kansas and it can
be quite a delightful view on
a warm summer’s day. To a
Kansas farmer, an even better view is clean plump kernels quickly filling a combine.
Today’s combines have come
a long way in their ability to
thresh and clean grain, but
all too often, the quality of the
grain harvested is less than
desirable. In most cases, a
few minor adjustments could
drastically reduce losses or
improve grain quality. Sometimes, all it takes is a little ex-
tra time and attention to add a
clear profit.
Combine adjustments can
affect wheat quality in two
fundamental ways. These
include grain damage and
grain cleanliness. Grain damage consists of cracked and
broken kernels and occurs
mainly in the threshing area
of the combine. Grain damage
is usually caused by excessive
cylinder/rotor speed. These
damaged kernels make wheat
harder to handle, generate
dust, harbor insects and increase mold growth.
Grain cleanliness is another important factor that affects the quality of the wheat.
Some foreign material, such
as weed seeds, can be difficult
to separate from wheat. This
is particularly true for grassy
weeds such as cheat, ryegrass
and downy brome. Since drier
cheat is easier to clean, one
method is to harvest those
heavily infested fields last in
the rotation. Some other adjustments for cheat infested
fields can include setting the
chaffer towards the open end
of the recommended range,
setting the sieve towards the
closed end of the recommended range, and setting the fan
towards the high end.
There are several factors
that can contribute to com-
bine losses. Even in good harvesting conditions, losses as
high as 10 bushels per acre
can occur. In most cases, a
few minor adjustments can
reduce loss and increase
grain quality. We have all
heard, “A penny saved is a
penny earned.” Shouldn’t that
saying hold true for grain harvest? “A kernel saved is a kernel earned”.
If you have questions or
would like more information,

Senior meal service’s future unknown as primary entity files bankruptcy
BY ANDY TAYLOR
chronicle@taylornews.org
The future of a meal program for elderly residents who
reside in Labette County and
other counties in southeast
Kansas remains unknown after the entity that manages the
program declared bankruptcy
in March.
The Senior Services of
Southeast Kansas, which provides meals to the elderly,
filed its bankruptcy notice in
March. The non-profit agency’s financial assets and liabilities are now in the hands of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
Wichita.
While the agency’s bankruptcy is being litigated, the
meal service has been as-
meals to elderly residents, it
also realizes that it is not in
the business of feeding older
sumed by the Southeast Kansas Area Agency on Aging,
also known as SEK-AAA.
Known primary for disability assessments, employment
opportunities for elderly residents, and health insurance
counseling for the elderly, the
Chanute-based organization
serves nine counties of southeast Kansas, including Labette
County.
Today, it is handling meal
services for the elderly. And,
the Meals on Wheels program
in Montgomery County is being
handled through transportation services provided by Four
County Mental Health Center
until another transportation
contractor can be identified.
While SEK-AAA realizes
the importance of providing
tion, and that remains our
goal,” said Cindy Lane of the
SEK-AAA. “However, we’re
trying to find another
MEALS SERVED IN MARCH 2016 contractor that can

manage
and oversee this serCOUNTY CONGREGATE HOME-DELIVERED TOTAL

Labette Avenue
several meal sites, including
those in Coffeyville and Independence, as well as senior
citizen hall in Cherryvale.
SEK-AAA, which is not
connected to the Senior Services of Southeast Kansas, has
its offices in Chanute, even
though its service territory
closely follows that of SSSK.
The greatest challenge
confronting SEK-AAA in its
delivery of the meal program
is the funding source. Only
four of the nine counties, with
Labette County being one of
the four, in the SEK-AAA territory provide some sort of monetary stipend in the form of a
dedicated property tax levy.
The remainder of the services’
costs are funded through donations and grants. However,

those cash donations include
the contributions from the
meal recipients themselves.
“Under federal law, we
cannot directly charge or assess a fee to the meal recipients,” she said. “However, we
can suggest a $2 donation that
can be used to defray expenses. The problem is that we are
not getting those donations. It
comes down to the fact that we
are providing a service that
does not have enough revenue
to cover the costs.”
To reduce costs, the meal
program has been reduced
from five days per week to
three days per week. Frozen
meals are prepared for homebound residents on those days
when deliveries are not made,
Lane said.
“We provide three hot
meals and two frozen meals
per week,” she said.

Not every little kid starts out
by singing bass from the back pew
Lucius Peck, born in
1882, sat near the back of
our little country church
when I was a kid. He was the
only bass singer in the congregation.
My sister, Karen, was
four years older than me,
and we both loved to sing.
And, we liked Mr. Peck’s
deep voice as he punctuated
the bottom line of the sacred
hymns.
Karen was probably
10 at the time and I was 6.
So, in an effort to learn the
four parts of a song, we sat
in front of Lucius Peck and
sang bass with him — obviously an octave higher than
his mellow baritone voice.
“The Old Rugged Cross,”
“Blessed Assurance,” “What
a Friend We Have in Jesus,”
“Standing On the Promises”
and many others fell off our
lips as we worshipped to the
beat and tune of a man who
grew up in pioneer times.
From there, Karen and I

Their presence remains with us
Over the Memorial Day weekend, we visited the cemetery that contains the headstone
where my father-in-law was laid to rest almost
nine years ago.
These visits always catch me off guard each
year. They are typically squeezed in a holiday
weekend when we are going from one town to
the next and can stop at the little country cemetery. The hustle and bustle of life leaves us
grabbing some silk flowers and trying to find
those few moments to make that visit.
Then we turn into the drive at the cemetery
and the quietness of where we are is consuming. It is peaceful with the only soundtrack of a
breeze and chirping birds. We wind our way to
that spot that is both a special way to memorialize him but also a reminder of one of the most
difficult days we have ever had to face.
The tears flow freely when we visit that
spot. Nine years is a long time and so much has
happened during those years. Yet sometimes
not having him around to bug us with his dinner time phone calls, watch him laugh until his
face was purple, or even just tell my husband
what a good daddy and man he has become,
is just as painful as it was the day he left this
earth.
But as I was talking to our sons this year
about their Papa Randy and
all of the things he did, it
became clear that he is not
just a memory. Instead he
is a presence. Our memories are spurred each time
my brother-in-law also calls
the moment we sit down for
dinner. Or when my husband starts to joke with me
and can’t even start the words because he’s
already out of breath with laughter. Or how
our sons will wiggle their fingers when they
are excited, just like the Papa they never knew
did. They didn’t learn those behaviors from
him…it’s just his presence that is still here
with us.
As we drove by the different cemeteries this weekend, it was obvious that lots of
families put flowers at lots of graves. I’m sure
some tears were shed at those spots as well.
Though we don’t visit those spots as often
as we intended to immediately after the funeral, we have to remember that Memorial Day is
a great time to talk about the memories, but
every day of the year we get to see glimpses of
their presence still with us.
Chetopa
residents
gather for
touching
tribute
For Memorial Day citizens
of Chetopa gathered at Oak
Hill Cemetery to honor veterans. Though it was cloudy
it was a pleasant day with
enough breeze to furl the flags
that were flying on the graves
and at the circle of flags. The
service opened with the playing of the “National Anthem”
followed by those attending
saying the “Pledge of Allegiance. Rev. Randy Fraizer of
the Community Bible Church
gave the invocation.
Mayor Terry Robison gave
the welcome to those attending. He told of one of the first
Memorial Days where the
slaves honored those who
had been placed in a mass
grave. They took weeks to
remove them from the mass
grave and gave each one a
proper burial. He went on to
tell that after the Civil War the
ladies approached the War Department about placing flowers on the grave of the fallen
soldiers. After some deliberation they said they could be
placed on the Union soldiers
graves but not the Confederate
soldiers. During the service a
wind came up and blew all the
flowers over to the Confederate
grave from then on all graves
were decorated.
Joyce Buckley, Auxiliary
President read a message of
hope while Julie Fecke, Auxiliary Chaplin placed the wreath
at the Soldiers Memorial Stone.
Alan and Cheryl played
their guitars and led everyone
in the singing of “The Battle
Hymn of the Republic” Ron
Wood then read the Meaning
of Memorial Day. It states that
Memorial Day is not just another day off work but is a sacred
day for all war veterans. It
should be a civic obligation to
honor the loss of our veterans. There are many ways to

pay tribute to veterans like
pausing for personal moment
of silence, attending a commemorative service, placing
flags on grave sites, marching
in parades sponsoring patriotic programs, dedicating memorials or wearing a Buddy
Poppy.
Virginia Davis, Auxiliary
Secretary/Treasurer,
read
the poem “Never To Be Forgot” by Bernard Howe. Joyce
Buckley then gave Honoring
Veterans and asked all veterans in attendance to stand or
raise their hand if they were
a veteran so they could be
recognized. Alan Paxson then
sang “God Bless the USA” followed by the benediction by
Rev. Frazier. Taps was played
by Alan Paxson.

Benefit breakfast planned
Sunday for India Chapman
The Bartlett United Methodist Church will host their
monthly Country Breakfast
on Sunday, June 5, with all
proceeds going to benefit India Chapman Hight. Breakfast will be served from 7:30
a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The all-youcan-eat breakfast buffet menu
will feature homemade sausage gravy served with biscuits, hashbrowns, scrambled
eggs, egg quiches, ham, sausage, fresh fruit, breakfast
sweets, donuts, homemade
cinnamon rolls, coffee, juice,
and milk.
All donations for this
breakfast will go to India and
her family to help with her
medical and rehab needs. India entered the hospital on
March 10 critically ill with

the amputation of her hands
and feet. India was moved to
a rehab facility two weeks ago
and is anxiously awaiting the
time that she can return home
with her family.
India grew up in Oswego.
She and her husband Kevin
now reside in Bella Vista, Ark.,
with their young daughters
Emeree and Landree. India is
the daughter of Dan and Beckie Chapman of Oswego and the
sister of Marshall Chapman of
rural Edna.
All are welcome to come
eat and support India and her
family. The Bartlett UMC is
located on the south side of
Bartlett. If you have questions,

Westar Energy is bought out
Great Plains Energy, the
parent company of Kansas
City Power & Light, will purchase Westar Energy in a
$12.2 billion deal, Westar announced Tuesday.
Westar Energy will be
sold for $60 per share — $51
per share in cash and $9 per
share in stock. The purchase
price includes $3.6 billion in
Westar debt Great Plains will
also assume. Kansas City, Mo.based Great Plains secured an
$8 million loan from Goldman
Sachs for the cash portion of
the transaction, according to
a statement released Tuesday
morning.
Topeka will remain the
headquarters for Kansas services, according to a release
from Westar. Great Plains
Chief Executive Officer Terry
Bassham will become chair-
man and CEO of the combined
company. Mark Ruelle, president and chief executive officer of Westar, will remain with
the company until the merger
is complete.
One member of the current
Westar Board of directors will
be chosen to sit on the Great
Plains Board of Directors.
During a conference call
Tuesday morning, Bassham
described the deal as “common sense,” citing the size of
the companies, a strong geographic fit and current partnerships. Great Plains Energy
and Westar jointly own and
operate the Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station, as well
as the La Cygne and Jeffrey
power plants. The combined
company will serve 900,000
Kansas and 600,000 Missouri
customers.
“We always thought combining these two companies
would make a much better
company,” he said.
The combined company
will rely on diverse energy
sources. More than half will
come from coal, according to
filings, while natural gas will
make up 31 percent, nuclear
eight percent and oil and renewable sources each five
percent.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings indicate the acquisition will be
neutral to earnings-per-share
in the first full calendar year.
Following that, six to eight
percent growth is expected.
The companies anticipate
closing the deal next spring.
They must make filings with
the Kansas Corporation Commission, likely in June or July.
Options…
Are Always Available at Windsor Place.
“Following surgery, coming to the Nursing Center was the best option. My daily
trips to the therapy department are really helping me. Each day I see progress.
I love all the activities, especially the kindergarten class. I also enjoy mingling
with the other residents. We do a lot of joking around. A good sense of humor
helps keep me going. Windsor Place has so many different ways to help people.
They helped my husband and now they’ve helped me, too. Windsor Place is its
own community. I’m very content here. This is my home now. I’m happy with
that.”
Teri Angell
Our relationship with Teri Angell
goes back a number of years. Teri was
a resident at Assisted Living for nearly
six years, and her husband, who is
now deceased, lived at the Nursing
Center.
Earlier this spring, Teri took a fall
and had surgery. Following her surgery, she couldn’t move her legs at all.
It was evident that Teri would need
more intensive care than she was
receiving at Assisted Living.
Teri made the choice to move to
the Nursing Center where she could
get ‘round-the-clock care and daily, onsite therapy.
The relaxed, comfortable environment of the Nursing Center has
suited Teri well. She’s always eager to
take part in all the activities. It’s been
our pleasure to satisfy Teri’s needs as
they have changed over the years.
