Chetopa/St. Paul schools
ponder 4-day classes
After state aid
cuts, district needs
to find savings
in USD budget
BY HEATHER BROWN
LABETTE AVENUE
The USD #505 school board met
Monday evening to hear a presentation from Superintendent Dr. Bobbi
Williams about research that has
been done on four-day school weeks.
The board also heard questions and
comments from the public.
Supt. Williams’ presentation gave
four areas of research on a shorter school week including savings,
scheduling and calendar, social and
emotional impact, and instructional
impact. In the past six years the district has lost $756,288 in funding.
The schools are funded at the same

amount as they were in 2007. The
savings for the district would amount
to $50,000 per school year and the
district will protect employee wages
by grandfathering previous employees into the shorter week. New employees would be hired in knowing
they would have fewer hours.
In the area of scheduling, the
state requires each school to be in
session for 1,116 hours or 186 seven
hour days. Thirty minutes added to
each school day would allow for the
shorter week.
Emotional and social benefits
would be an extra day of possible
family time each week and a free day
for students to seek outside employment.
Four-day weeks can serve as a
recruitment tool when seeking new
teachers and there is often times less
absenteeism as doctor and dentist appointments can be scheduled for the
off day.
Some possible downsides to a
four-day week were also shared by
Williams. Concerns include less time
at home each day, lack of supervision
for some children on the off day, inattentiveness during longer class periods, and lack of childcare options for
the off day.
The public was given an opportunity to address concerns and ask
any questions they might have. Several members of the audience asked
questions of the board. A concerned
parent asked if her son who attends
Vo-Tech in Columbus would still be
bussed to the Columbus campus five
days a week. The board assured
those in attendance that any student
who attends Vo-Tech or any special
day school that is in session five days
a week will be provided transportation five days a week.
The board has not set a date to
vote on whether to adopt the four-day
week but Supt. Williams said once a
decision is made, the schools could
start four-day weeks at semester
break in January or could wait until
next year.

executive sessions which were closed
to the public and press.
Commissioners said they had

Daniel D. Mann, CEO at Great Plains.
"At the end of the day, Kansas
wins. Although Great Plains was not

"Growing southeast Kansas is

Ask Jack...
By Jack Newcomb
Business Coach and Facilitator
At what point in their lives
do youngsters need to understand the concept of how personal finances work? Is it ever
too early to introduce your
children to the relationship
between work and compensation? After all, capitalism
is what drives our economic
system, and the output is measured in dollars.
I’m sure you’ve all read
stories of college graduates
who are lamenting the fact
that they’ve accumulated thousands of dollars in student loan
debt, and didn’t realize that
there would be consequences
to pay. The latest one I read
was a young lady threatening to sue her parents for not
teaching her basic personal
finance before she left for college. She claims that she would
never have gotten so deep
in debt had she been taught
things like interest rates and
repayment terms.
Some of these issues are societal as everyone wants things
right now, worrying about how
to pay for them later. Whether
it’s cars, vacations, or education we seem to have forgotten
the concept of “pay as we go”.
Debt has become a way of life,
and it’s probably not going to
change. What needs to change,
however, is our ability to manage it and to teach our children
the same.
Every high school graduate
should know the basics of finance; how to set up a budget,
how to balance a checkbook,
understanding interest rates
on both loans and savings accounts, and most importantly,
how to manage money.
These are critical life skills,
so as a parent, grandparent,
educator or mentor, make sure
that you’re doing your part.

A week for editors is no big deal
Okay, get this. I just read that this is National Be
Kind to your Editor Week. Well, in truth, all of you are
so nice to me everyday, so you can skip the flowers,
candy, money and other gifts (just kidding). It is an
honor for me to work at this newspaper, and I appreciate the way you treat me ... every day.
A trip to Mood in New York was on my bucket list
My sister, Mona Rathmel of Dallas, Texas and I
just returned from a six-day vacation back to New
York. It had been five years since we visited the
Big Apple, and of course, New York City doesn’t
change too much.
The weather was beautiful --- we couldn’t
have asked for a better week. The highs were
mid-80s and there was no humidity until Sunday
when the temperatures started creeping up into
the 90s along with humidity.
For this week, I’ll focus on one special place
we went. Next week, I’d like to touch on the 911
Memorial during the week that is the 14th anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center.
I like to watch the television show, Project
Runway. We went to Mood Designer Fabrics while
we were in the Garment District area.
It is a small building with several floors that
looks a lot like a warehouse. We went next door
to the street window sign and took an elevator up.
On one level was all upholstery fabric. That didn’t
interest me, so we went on up to another floor
that had the sewing items. It was an old elevator with a man who operated it. There was quite
a line when we were ready to leave, so we took
the three flights of steps, and many others did the
same thing.
It is a smaller facility than it appears on television. I don’t know how they have enough space
to film it. They do have the bolts and bolts of all
kinds of textures and fabrics you can ever wish
for, clear to the ceiling.
I couldn’t believe all the varieties of buttons
and buckle embellishments. If you were sewing
for a wedding (and I’m not now) the
lace cut-outs and all the glitz and glitter that could be used for a wedding or
a fancy attire were beautiful.
I ended up getting a buckle and
black belt fabric to make a belt. At least
I can say I got it from Mood and that
I made it. They also have small rulers
and souvenirs you could purchase.
It’s not what I thought it would be,
but it was fun to see it anyway. No,
we didn’t see Tim Gunn or Swatch the
dog that day. As Heidi Klum says, “One
day you’re in and the next day you’re
out,’ referring to the contestants on the
show.
And when they all get their fabrics and accessories at Mood, they say,
“Thank you, Mood.”

Education is still a privilege
not a forced right as a citizen
Several times I have mentioned that I attended a oneroom school. The school was
consolidated a few years after
I graduated from the eighth
grade. Perhaps I’m one of the
few who completed all eight
grades in the last years before
its closing. This rural school
was a phenomenon that met
the needs of country kids and
did a good job of it.
There was a documentary
on the one-room school on
PBS this last weekend. Not until then did I realize just what
a special chance for education
did I receive, but it pointed out
the value of a good teacher
in this specific setting. She
not only had to start a fire in
a wood or coal stove, but she
had to meet the needs of eight
levels of education. That was
not easy to teach little ones to
read or write while at the same
time preparing the older ones
for high school math, English
or social studies.
This documentary pointed
out that the older ones learned
by helping the younger ones
while pursuing their own
education. The younger ones
learned by listening to the
classes of the older ones.
Marna
Taylor
Writer

This is where I found my
love for teaching. Often I was
asked to listen to the first
graders read or help them
with math problems. During
this process I mimicked the
teacher in doing the job. If we
missed something in the previous grades, we heard it again
several times before graduating. I also learned to concentrate and tune out while I was
doing my own lessons. They
stressed that today’s educators
are learning to use peers in
reading and math once again.
This is a throw-back to what
was so successful in the oneroom school.
In this school room we had
a blackboard, chalk, a book, a
pencil and writing paper. There
were no overhead projectors,
no computers, no calculators,
no printers, no handouts, and
definitely no specialty teachers who spent extra time with
us. Our library was one shelf
of books to read in extra time.

There was no encyclopedia or
dictionary that I remember.
There was no IEP (individualized educational plan)
for each student. The teacher
made a lesson plan. Since her
scheduling was so complex,
she had reading, math and
writing every day for the first
three grades. She then would
teach social studies, English,
science and health for the upper grades by having classes
together for third and fourth,
fifth and sixth, seventh and
eighth grades. The next semester she would reverse the graded material. She had to be a
whiz at scheduling. Somehow,
we learned and did well on the
County exam to pass the eighth
grade. The amount learned
was just as good as the teacher.
Never did I hear that someone
did not pass the exam.
It is interesting that in this
time of failure of educational
policies, the tendency is to go
back and recover some of the
methods used. I reiterate, the
learning is commensurate with
the ability of the teacher. Another factor is the environment
and attitudes of the parents toward learning when they send
that little one to school. It is a
privilege and not a forced right
to get an education.
OUR OPINIONS
Watch Chetopa come out ahead
The Chetopa community is reeling with the
loss of a medical practice, due to state and federal authorties shutting it down.
Without making any judgement about the
case, we can only comment on the impact of
such a closure, because it will be huge.
Thankfully, medical care is still available in
Chetopa at another clinic owned and operated
by the Oswego Community Hospital. We assume that many of the closed Chetopa Medical
Clinic patients will start seeing practitioners at
the clinic located a block up the street.
In the meantime, the drugstore located on
the same street will feel the loss. So will cafes,
grocers and others who enjoy the patronage
of employees at the clinic formerly operated
by Dr. Stanley Haag. Anytime a local business closes its doors, there is a domino effect
throughout the community.
We can only hope that something good will
come of this closure. And, if there’s a town anywhere that can make good lemonade from getting a lemon deal --- it is Chetopa.
Watch and see how they come out ahead.
They’ve done it before, and certainly they will
this time, too.

Postal Clause in Constitution
has been reduced to a pause
Local postal workers are the first to be embarrassed by a slowdown in mail service, quite
noticeable to this newspaper as we send our
product out to readers.
Fortunately, we are able to provide nextday service to all readers whose zip code begins
with 673. But there is a reason for such a guarantee --- we actually take bundles of our readyto-deliver newspapers to 23 local post offices in
southeast Kansas. This includes all three Taylor newspapers which cover Montgomery, Elk,
Chautauqua and Labette counties.
Local postal workers are friendly, caring
and efficient. They will do anything they know
to help get our newspapers out to readers.
But the big system of USPS --- the one that
is stifled with red ink, the one that continues
to make policies that run against the grain of
common sense --- is a stumbling block to its
own employees.
Newly relaxed standards in mail delivery
service have caused USPS employees to drop
their chins and shake their heads. When they
hear about distant deliveries that take several
days, they can only say, “We’re sorry. It left our
post office the day you mailed it.”
And they are right.
We’re in the same boat with them.
We pay a USPS-qualified company over
$2,000 per year to supply software with sorting capabilities that place exact zip-plus-four
addresses on all newspapers. Before we take
them to the post office for mailing, they are labeled and bagged properly. No doubts remain
about their destination.
But if they go outside this region, and cer-
tainly outside the state of Kansas, they are sent
into oblivion, sometimes taking five to seven
days to arrive in readers’ homes. And, the price
we pay continues to go up.
U.S. Congressmen and Senators offer little
help with this mess. After all, the USPS is a private operation, or so they say.
In truth, it is quasi-governmental, and mail
service is a guarantee of the U.S. Constitution
in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 7. It is known as
the Postal Clause, but it has been reduced to
the Postal Pause.
Members of the U.S. Congress need to step
up and restore mail service to its original priority. The people of the United States deserve to
know that mail will arrive on time --- certainly
within reason. Of all the stupid payments made
by the federal government, it surely would
make sense to offer a subsidy to the delivery of
mail to all Americans.
We can’t say enough good about those
working in local post offices. It is not they who
slow the process. It is their company that is
in trouble, and now making ludicrous slashes
in employment benefits, office hours and daily cut-off times that drive customers to other
forms of communication and delivery.
So, this is a good time to encourage these
local USPS employees and the difficult jobs they
perform.
And, if you live outside this region, it might
a be good time to switch to our e-edition which
arrives in your home even before the press
stops printing our regular editions.

A weekend for good memories
Have you ever wondered
what it would be like to be a relive your childhood with more
money in your pocket? My
buddy from Springfield, Bryce
Gilliland, is doing just that. I’m
guessing when he was younger
he couldn’t obtain the exact
BMX bike he dreamed of because now he’s building them
left and right and doing right
well at it.
Bryce invited Charlie to an
old school BMX show at the
BMX track in Miami, Okla. last
weekend and any chance to
hang out with Bryce is one the
Browns will take. We drove to
the track and were surprised
to see plenty of BMX bikes of
all makes and models lined up
for the show.
Our always entertaining
friend Bryce had some of his
bikes entered and so did his
buddies Ryan and John. It was
80s night at the Miami BMX
Track and it was so much fun.
You haven’t lived until you’ve
witnessed the return of half
shirts, knee socks and BMX
bikes. The music was amazing
Heather
Brown

@taylornews.org
and not only is Bryce a bit of a
bike aficionado, he also knows
the lyrics to every song they
played at the track. He sang
along with Whitney, Michael,
and even threw in some Rick
James for good measure.
He has built a 1984 Haro
Sport freestyler Mike Dominguez reissue, 1985 Haro Sport
Freestyler, 1986 Redline RL20A
Styler, a 1987 Dyno Detour
and a GT Mach One. Saturday
night his 1984 Haro Sport took
1st place in the freestyle class.
Bryce was a proud papa. His
bikes are important to him and
each one has plenty of work put
into it.
I’m a child of the 80s and
reveled in the 80s clothes and
music in Miami last weekend. It was good to be around
people passionate about their
sport and the bikes they ride.
Thanks, Bryce, for taking me
back to my favorite decade if
only for a night.
Let’s spend
some time
together ...

How to release Heaven’s economy
“Honor the Lord with your substance, and with the
first fruits of all your increase.” Proverbs 3:9 We honor
God by being obedient to what He says to do. There are
five principles to follow to operate in heaven’s economy
of supernatural provision.
1. Purpose to honor the Lord with what you have.
2. Give the tithe, 10%, of what comes in financially to
God. 3. Save some of what comes in for seed to plant
into the kingdom. 4. Be willing and obedient to do what
God says. 5. Do it by faith, by your words and by your
actions. “ A faithful man shall abound with blessings.”
Proverbs 28:20

Deputies train for water rescue
Heather Brown
LABETTE AVENUE
Last week deputies from
the Labette County Sheriff’s
Department received water
training from game wardens
with the Kansas Department
of Wildlife and Parks. This is
the last step in formal water
training that began earlier in
the year with a trip to Emporia. Sheriff Robert Sims
said the deputies will now go
through refresher courses
once a year.
During the recent round of
training the deputies practiced
shore based rescue. They also
trained in self rescue which
teaches the deputies how to
survive if they should happen to find themselves in the
water. Game Warden Josh Dehoux also taught the deputies
how to navigate downstream
without sustaining injuries.
The deputies practiced
throwing and coiling the safety ropes that are now in each
deputy’s vehicle for use in water rescue.
Ford to show in
Hendershot Gallery at LCC
The gallery committee recently hung a new show in
the Labette Community College Hendershot Gallery. The
show, ‘John Ford Sr. Artwork,’
is a retrospective of his career in art from mid 1960s to
2010s containing art-work in
jewelry, prints, painting, and
sculpture.
John Ford, Jr. is the current LCC art instructor offering classes in pottery, art and
design.
Ford Sr. passed away in
2014 at age 85. Before becoming a full time artist he was a
Presbyterian minister in Hot
Springs, Ark. and Sibley, La.
His career as an artist took
him to Walla Walla, Wash.,
London, England, Basel, Switzerland, New York City, NY
and the family farmstead in
Choudrant, La.
Ford Jr. said, “My dad lived
through the great depression
in the 1930’s. He often spoke
about how little they had. I
think that experience gave
him a braveness to pursue his
dreams without excess worry
about material things. He always saved used nails from
projects when they were taken
apart. When we built anything
we would dig through the
bent nails for nails we could
re-use by carefully straightening out nails you wanted for
your project instead of buying
new ones…it always frustrated me to have to do that when
I was younger. When he passed
the can full of bent nails is one
of the first things I saved…it’s
funny the things that become
important to you.”
The gallery exhibit will be
on display until Sept. 11, located on the second floor of the
main building. Gallery hours
are Monday-Thursday, 8 a.m.
to 9 p.m., Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. Some work is for sale.

Are you a Friend of the
Library? No, I am not talking Facebook. Friends groups
are nationally recognized not
for profit organizations whose
sole existence is the support of
local libraries. The Friends of
the Oswego Library has been
a Kansas chapter member for
two years.
The Friends group consists
of a board and Friends members. They meet the even numbered months of the year at
the library and hold one or two
money making projects a year.
I know what you are thinking,
“please, not one more organization to belong to!” The yearly dues members pay are $5
for adults, $1 for children and
$25 for businesses, this really
goes a long way in supporting
the local library. The Librarian
and staff have to pay dues as
well.
The Friends of the Oswego
Library have been able to purchase needed items with the
money they have raised from
their fund raisers and dues
from its members. Increases in
utilities, building repairs, general maintenance as well as
the technology that is needed,
keeps the library budget pretty
tight. But it goes without saying what this organization
gives that is just as important
as items and money; is morale
support. Friends of the Oswego Library often volunteer to
do yard work, cleaning, or other small projects at the library.
This allows the library staff to
focus on their main jobs.
Won’t you think about becoming a Friend of the Oswego
Library? If 100 adults join,
that is $500 and in the Library
world that will go a long way
in providing much needed services. Oh, by the way you can
“Like” the Oswego Library on
Facebook too, as well as The
Friends of the Oswego Library.
Thank you for your support. —

Karhoff and Elsie Vail attended the after fair meeting. Minor changes will be made in
next year’s fair book. One
change will be to have six
items in culinary exhibits that
require more than one item
such as cookies and rolls. Kayla O’Brien gave the
lesson on responsibility. Responsibility means doing what
you are supposed to do. It re-
quires making choices. She
reviewed the lessons “Age
Sense: The Caregiving Journey.” and “Is There a Move
in Your Future?“ Declining health may be one of
the reasons for deciding to
move. Safety is another reason. Maintenance of your
home is another factor. Isolation and loneliness may be
another reason for considering a move. Other factors to
evaluate in a decision to stay
or move are independence,
opportunity, comfort, convenience, and freedom to pursue
one’s passions. The K-State
pamphlet also gives some
guidelines for selling one’s
home.

Former Oswego/Chetopa
coach continues 10-year
stint as Shrine Bowl referee
A former Oswego and Chetopa teacher and coach served
as a game referee during the
Kansas Shrine Bowl game
held July 25 at Fort Hays State
University.
This was the 10th year for
Gary Davis to be a ref in this
statewide event which is an
east/west all-star game that
has been held for 42 consecutive years.
Gary Davis taught middle
school science and PE in Oswego from 1979 to 1994. He
coached football from 1982
to 1994, was assistant basketball coach from 1979 to 1984
and coached baseball 1988 to
1994 (the ‘93 and’ 94 teams
qualified for state with the 93
team placing fourth). In 1994
he was named the Kansas 1a3a state baseball coach of the
year.
After teaching at Oswego,
Coach Davis went back to
school and got a Masters in
Special Ed. He then taught
Special Education at Project
Alternative in Parsons 1996
to 2012 and then retired from
Project Alternative. He is currently teaching Special Education at Commerce, Okla.
Davis also resided in Chetopa for several years where he
was a teacher and coach.
He attended his first Shrine
Bowl in 1987 when he was
coaching at Oswego and Kyle
Schenker from the Oswego
team of 1986 made the team.
Davis started officiating
football after he got out of
coaching in 1994.
“One of the things I had on
my list of things to do was to
officiate a Shrine Bowl,” said
Davis. “I started asking questions of guys that had done it
and sent an email to the executive director to find how
to get on the list of officials in
2004. After I completed an
online application I got my
first assignment that year at
Emporia State.”
His best memory of that
first year was standing on
the goal line for the National
Anthem and this huge band
of members from all over the
state played one of the most
perfect National Anthems he
could remember and at the
conclusion just as they finished, three military helicopters came right over the stadium.
“If you want to talk about
sending chills up your spine
that was it. I was hooked,”
he said. A few minutes later
sky divers delivered the game
balls, landing perfectly on the
50-yard line.
The officials for the Shrine
Shrine Bowl game referee Gary Davis
Bowl are usually given the opportunity to work three years
in a row and then they are off
one year. It worked out over
the years where his off-year
was when the game was held
in Hays.
His second game was at
Kansas State University. They
have stopped having the games
in big stadiums like KSU because the crowd is usually
around 10,000 and in stadiums
like that it just doesn’t create
the atmosphere like most of
the MIAA stadiums that seat
approximately 10,000.
In 2006 he was head referee for the game at Pittsburg
State University.
“That year was a great
game but my best memory was
the coin flip,” Davis said. “Every year the Shrine Committee
chooses an honorary captain
from children that are actually
ongoing patients in the Shrine
Hospital. The honorary captain
was a little girl named Leigh.
She was 10 years old with this
huge smile that seemed as big
as she was. She was born with
brittle bone disease and used
a little walker to get around
with.
“I was to teach her to flip
a coin and the procedures for
the pre-game. I learned from
her parents she had endured
Problems with long-distance delivery

over 20 broken bones in her
life. Through all of this she
was being placed in the gifted
program at her school. Leigh
even has her own fund raiser
every year on her birthday and
has raised thousands of dollars
on her own for the Children’s
Shrine Hospital, needless to
say I was humbled somewhat.”
Davis worked at Emporia
State three times, PSU three
times, Wichita’s Cessna Stadium once, Topeka Washburn
once and just this past summer
made the long ride to Hays to
work at Fort Hays State University. I am glad I made the
trip to Hays.
He has been head referee
three times and all the others
he has worked as a field judge.
“Many times I’ve been
asked what the pay is,” said
Davis. “The answer is always
the same; a free hat, a program and all you can eat and
drink after the game. As long
as I’m healthy, I’ll continue.”

An old guy’s Happy Socks
could signal new life, right?
When I arrived at college in 1964, I was shocked
to see that I was the only boy
on campus who wore white
socks — all the time.
Whether with shorts,
jeans, slacks or a suit, I
found white socks to be cool.
Well, they weren’t, and
I quickly made a trip to the
local TG&Y to buy a couple
pair of black and brown
socks.
Then after I landed a job
with a major oil company
after college, I was told the
very first day on the job that
my socks were too athletic,
even though they were dark
and matched my dress pants.
“You need to dress up for
your job,” the obnoxious coworker told me. “That means
thin dress socks.”
Then he added, “People
judge us by our socks, and
whether we keep our shoes
shined.”
I’ve remembered that
over the years.
So, this week, at the age
of nearly 70 years, I ordered
two pair of Happy Socks. I realize that multicolored clown
socks are not all that popular, and yes, I know I’ll be
judged for my silliness, but
I’m following former President George H.W. Bush in
this trend. He, at the age of
91, still wears wild socks and
even sells a line of them with
his signature sewn across
the top.
Crazy socks come in all
designs with lots of brands:

GEARING UP FOR WINS--Under the watchful eye of head coach
Jaunc Bradshaw, Chetopa High School football players practiced
exploding off the line at a practice last week. The Hornets will
meet the Marmaton Valley Tigers in their 8-man season opener
on Friday in Chetopa.
Twelve Hornets will suit up, including four returning senior starters. Bradshaw is optimistic: “Our plan is to be competitive every
night and give ourselves a chance to win each game.
“Although we lost some key players from last year’s playoff run,
the kids have a winning attitude and are ready for a challenge.”

Grizzlies prepare for
winning football season
THE 2015 LABETTE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL GRIZZLIES players
and managers--According to new LCHS head football coach Sean
Price, the Grizzlies are ready to face all foes. “They are really determined to have a successful season,” said Price. “I feel like we
should be very competitive in every game this year.
“Our players have done an outstanding job this summer getting
physically ready for the season. I couldn’t ask for anything more
out of them.”
The Grizzlies struggled in recent years and won only twice in
2014. However, with 14 seniors leading the team and a new coach
at the helm, changes may be afoot.
Price returns this year to the 11-man game from Chetopa High
School where he led the Hornets to an undefeated 2014 season
and the second round of the 8-man Division II playoffs.
The 2015 Grizzlies open the current season on Friday at Independence where they will try to avenge last year’s 41-10 loss to what
was then a fairly young Bulldog team.

third year for the event that aims to provide a different kind of
tournament experience for local golfers. After dark, tee boxes are
marked with solar lanterns, LED lights adorn the flags and golfers
play with lighted golfballs. According to Skip Riley, tournament
coordinator, Saturday’s tourney was the largest so far, with 18
teams and 72 golfers participating. The next nighttime tourney is
slated for the Saturday preceding Memorial Day.

many Kansas counties have
been declared major disaster areas this year alone, due
to severe weather events that
swept through the state May 4
through June 21.
Those 42, out of Kansas’
105 total counties, stretched
from Atchison in the northeast,
to Hodgeman in the southwest, and Sumner in the south
central. The disaster designation, announced by President
Obama in a July 20 White
House news release, makes
them eligible for federal aid. There is no question Kansas has its share of disasters,
but not all come in the form
of a major storm. When any

fire, it’s a disaster for the individual homeowner, renter or
business owner involved. For
that reason, some emergency

Trapping nuisance moles Sunflower State Games names
Jacob Weber
Horticulture Agent
Wildcat Extension District
In the natural environment
moles serve a beneficial role
by loosening and mixing the
soil as they burrow through
the earth in search of food.
Moles have a big appetite
for food due to their high energy requirement. They may
eat as much as 70 to 80 percent of their bodyweight of
food daily. Moles feed day and
night throughout the year;
they do not hibernate. Their
diet consists of soil-dwelling
insects, snails, spiders, small
vertebrates,
earthworms
and grubs; vegetative matter
ranks low as a food choice.
Moles become a nuisance
when they invade residential
and commercial landscapes.
Their tunneling activity damages lawns, gardens, and
flower beds. Patches of lawn
become unsightly where their
tunneling
damages
grass
roots, and the surface ridges
make lawn mowing difficult.
Flower beds and vegetable
plants can be ruined by overly
active moles.
Various home remedies
have been contrived to control
mole problems with varying
degrees of success reported.
However, the more reliable
control measures available
include poisonous baits, mole
repellents, and trapping. Of
these trapping has proven to
be the most successful means
of eliminating nuisance moles
from a given area.
There are several types of
mole traps available; the most
common is the harpoon trap.
This trap has powerful compressed springs which, when
released, drive slender spikes
into the ground to impale the
mole that passes underneath.
Before setting the trap a
small area of ridged up soil
above the mole run is lightly
flattened with the foot. Next,
after engaging the tension
springs and setting the trigger pan, the trap is position
over the flattened area with
the legs of the trap straddling
the run. The trap’s legs are
then pushed straight into the
ground until the trigger pan
lightly touches the flattened
soil. If a mole enters the run
it will push up the compressed
portion which releases the
trigger on the trap.
Traps should be checked
twice daily and any captured
moles, if not killed outright by
the trap, should be dispatched.
Since moles often do not reuse
a run the chances of success
increase when several traps
are used, and when each trap
is relocated to a new run every
two or three days. Mole traps
are dangerous and can cause
injury; keep children and pets
away from areas where mole
traps are being used.
Aye...ye be invited for some
swash buckling fun!

Volunteer of the Year
Teddy Reiser, 48 of Topeka,
has been named the 2015 Sunflower State Games Volunteer
of the Year. For the fifth consecutive year, Teddy has given
his time to the Sunflower State
Games by volunteering for the
organization’s various cycling
events. Reiser volunteers for
the Games because it allows
him to provide support to his
friends in the Cycling community.
“Knowing that I can help
make these events run smoothly, and see old and new friends
is all worth every minute I give.
What better way to watch family and friends race if I cannot,
by supporting the events they
have entered,” said Reiser.
“Without the Sunflower State
Games, many of us would not
be able to participate in such
a diverse selection of sporting
events; regardless of our skill
level, just having the ability to
participate is the joy in it all.”
“People like Teddy Reiser
allow for our participants to
receive a quality experience
at the Sunflower State Games.
Our volunteers are critical to
any success that we enjoy as
an organization,” said Executive Director, Mitch Gross.
Reiser, who works for
Capitol Federal Savings as an
IRA Administrator, is a Cycling enthusiast. Not only does
Teddy Volunteer for the summer Cycling Road and Gravel
races, but he also finds time
to support the Sunflower State
Games sponsored Cyclocross
and Team Time Trail races
held each November and April
respectively. Teddy is also a
member of the Knights of Columbus at Most Pure Heart of
Mary Catholic Church.
The 2015 Sunflower State
Games were held July 1026 in Topeka. 8,117 athletes
participated in 47 different
sports. The Sunflower State
Games is a non-profit organization with a mission to promote physical fitness and active lifestyles for Kansans of all
ages and skill levels. To learn

Bartlett Co-op Trailer & Bed Center Begins Manufacturing
The new Bartlett Co-op Facility has provided space to expand into the area of manufacturing.
Fred Goddard, manager of the Chetopa facility
explained, “We have customers who were wanting gates and panels that were sizes to fit openings they had. We were trying to order these for
people and they were having to wait for 6 or 8
months. That was when we got the idea of manufacturing them ourselves - that would be made to
fit our customers needs. Now they get the exact
size of panel or gate they need from us - they
don’t have to worry about sizing them down.”
“We are receiving new orders daily and
rather than customers having to wait months, we
can get these out in a matter of 1 to 2 weeks. In
fact, in the 7 weeks we have been manufacturing
these, we have built probably 300 gates and panels,” said Goddard.
Goddard also explained they are making
pipe gates, contractors fence panels, portable corral panels, corner braces, fence bracing - all of
which can be customized to your personal needs.
“This was a need of our customers we knew
we could fill,” said Goddard.

Co-op in Chetopa - Left to right - Bryan
Elliott, Steve Stewart, Chad Teal, Tony
Kaltenbaugh & Fred Goddard
In addition to the manufacturing operation, in the
new building, they still continue to service trailers &
beds and to sell accessories that go along with that.
“We have also began building a new spike bed - a
prototype. Eventually we plan to offer those as well”,
said Goddard.
An auto parts department is another new feature. They decided to expand into this area when the
only auto parts store in Chetopa recently closed. Caleb
Horn is in charge of the parts department. They are
currently building their inventory so if they don’t have
a part that someone needs, they can usually get it the
next day.
They can also build hydraulic hoses of any size.
Altoz Mower Sales
Staff- Fred Goddard,
Caleb Horn & Doug
Ramey shown with one
of the show room models of Altoz Mowers.

The new facility also provides a wonderful showroom
for Bartlett Co-ops line of Altoz Mowers. They have been
selling this brand of mowers for several years and are really
impressed by them.
“We are really impressed with both the commercial
and homeowners mowers that Altoz offers. They are American made in Greenbush, Minnesota. They all come with a
three year warranty. They range from 48” to 72” decks and
are from 24 to 37 horsepower,” said Goddard.
Goddard, Caleb Horn and Doug Ramey make up the
Altoz sales staff they will be happy to answer questions or
set you up with a demonstration of one of the mowers.
“This building has a lot of grass so our customers can
come and test one of these mowers,” Goddard joked.
“Altoz mowers have a variety of options available for a
homeowners model up to a large commercial sized mower”,
said Goddard.
“Our customers expect quality products from Bartlett
Co-op and Altoz Mowers fits that bill. We are proud to carry
this brand,” Goddard said.
Bartlett Co-op has a lot to offer their customers. Stop by any of their locations today!

Diveley • Prairie Star
MTV just needs to grow up
I have to admit to losing a
few precious moments from
my life this weekend when I
sat down and watched part of
the MTV Video Music Awards,
or the VMA’s. We weren’t
home to waste an entire evening watching them but I
caught a few moments toward
the end and some recaps later
on.
For the most part, I have
zero interest in that awards
show. But I constantly have
a desire to be “in the know,”
so our television is tuned to
all sorts of stations just so I’m
able to stay on top of the most
recent news from politics to
trashy entertainment.
I’ll just forewarn you,
dear reader, that I am about
to sound like an old, grumpy
lady. But even at a fairly
young 34 years old, I was sad
and disappointed to see what
has become of the entertainment world.
MTV was born in
1981, the same year I
was born. And for a
few days they actually
showed music videos!
I even remember seeing some sprinkled in the programming during my own high
school years. Now it’s a continual run of reality shows that
have more “bleeps” than dialogue and programs that push
the moral limits of society.
On the Sunday night
awards show, the most recent
popular artists were showcased but the theatrics, dancing, blinding lights, and skimpy
outfits overshadowed the music. I would like to hand Justin
Beieber, Kanye West, or Miley
Cyrus a sheet of music that
our high school students work
diligently to perfect and per-
form at contest, just
to see if they can hold
their own. Or does it
take the distractions to
make sure the listener
is confused and not
paying attention to the
actual musical ability?
Now there are a few stars
who do stand out among the
filth. They are the ones who
aren’t afraid to take a break
from all of the strobe lights and
looped drum beats, stand on a
stage with simplicity and sing
a song. No silly costumes, no
backup dancers, no blurred
images for the home audience.
Just good music.
I hope the next generation is able to find good music
through the chaos. Oh, I know
there will always be the loud
and wild and there really is a
place for them. My grandparents shuddered at Elvis. My
parents winced at the Beastie
Boys. And I change the channel when Kanye starts rambling about ruling the world.
But there’s still a place for
learning how to play a stringed
instrument, listening to a music teacher as they tell a student how to pronounce the
Latin words in a contest piece,
and turning on a track with
soothing vocals and sweet instrumentation.
So I may be finally moving
past the MTV stage of life. That
may label me as an old lady or
a stick in the mud and that’s alright. I just know that under
all that makeup and stage production, there must be some
music still left in MTV.

A Few Kind Words From
Tom Jones…
“I’m a farmer and rancher from rural Coffeyville. I was hesitant about coming to a
nursing home until I saw the place and met the
people myself. I was easily convinced this was
where I needed to be following my hip replacement surgery.
My wife, Jeannie, works full-time. It would
have been hard for me to get back and forth
to town for daily therapy sessions. It’s great
because the therapy department is right here.
That’s very convenient. With me being at Home
N Sight, Jeannie didn’t have to worry about me
being home during the day or coming home to
prepare meals or provide other care.
The food was really good. The people were
great. They took really good care of me. All I
had to do was hit my button and someone was
there to help me.
I’d recommend Home N Sight to anyone.
It will help you out a bunch. I’m completely
satisfied.”
Tom Jones –
Patient at Windsor Place Home N Sight
What makes a short-term stay at Windsor Place so unique is the
Home N Sight environment. A separate exterior, private entrance leads to
a newly redesigned and renovated residence devoted exclusively to our
short-term guests. Large, well-appointed guest rooms are predominantly
private, while a comfortable common space fosters family involvement in
the patient’s holistic recovery.
Other stand-out features include special attention to personal care
services in the Home N Sight “Spa” and “7 to 7 Dining”, our menu-driven
meal program. Patients can make meal choices from a menu or a variety
of daily specials anytime between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
If you could use a little help recovering from illness, injury or surgery,
we invite you to come stay with us at Home N Sight. We would love to
show and tell you more about Home N Sight with a personal tour of our
new residence. Call Karen at (620) 252-4929 for more information or to
arrange an appointment.
