new school
By David Powls
its recent meeting, the
Holton USD 336 Board of Education discussed and approved
an expenditure of $159,589.20
in technology updates for the
Holton Elementary School after visiting with technology director Tom Sextro and assistant
Gordon Lamme.

funding, the district has enough
to cover all the costs, it was reported.
The district will sell 120 fiveyear-old laptops at $72 per laptop to Capitol Asset Recovery
for $8,640. This will help the
district purchase 281 iPads for a
2 to 1 ratio, 250 keyboards and
20 charging stations for elementary staff and students, along
with the licenses and software
needed to manage and run all of
the new equipment.

“It’s been a good place to raise a
family. I’m very thankful for all
our patients over the years.”
A native of Emporia, Dr. Schneider received a bachelor of
science degree in business administration from Emporia State
University. He went on to earn
his doctor of chiropractic degree
from Cleveland Chiropractic
College of Kansas City.
Dr. Schneider is also trained
in acupuncture for a wide variety of conditions.
After moving to Holton, Dr.
Schneider opened an office on
Pennsylvania Avenue. The office
was previously occupied by chiropractor Dr. Harry Thompson.
A year and a half later, Dr.
Schneider’s office moved to
105 W. Fifth Street for several
years before the practice moved
to the south side of the Square
at its current location at 125 W.
Fourth St.
He has operated the business
alongside Teresa, who works
with insurance companies and
accounts receivable.
Throughout his career, Dr.
Schneider said he’s seen a positive shift in the opinion of chiropractic medicine among other
medical professionals.
“Other doctors have been cooperative about patients utilizing chiropractic medicine,” he
said. “I heard that the first chiropractic license issued in Kansas
was for a doctor in Denison, so
this area has a strong history of

Schneider to retire after 31+
years as local chiropractor
By Ali Holcomb
Schneider, a doctor of
chiropractic medicine in Holton,
is set to retire at the end of this
week.
Dr. Schneider’s last day with
patients is Friday.
“I began working in Holton
August of 1984, so it’s been
31 years and 10 months,” Schneider said.
Schneider has been easing
into retirement as he started
working only part-time hours at
his office on the south side of the
Holton Square a year a half ago,
he said.
He and his wife, Teresa, also
sold their house in Holton and
moved to Topeka recently to be
closer to family.

our sons were three and nine

Miller opts out as county counsel
By Ali Holcomb
County Attorney
Shawna Miller is resigning from
her position as the county counselor and will no longer be advising the Jackson County Commissioners on legal matters, it
was reported.
During a recent commission
meeting, the commissioners
received a letter of resignation
from Miller as the county counselor effective July 1.
In her letter, Miller said her
large caseload as county attorney has prompted her resignation as county counselor.
“I cannot express to you the
workload that I am attempting
to maintain and the concern I
Jackson
have in my ability to continue to
maintain it,” she wrote.
Miller will continue to serve
as the county attorney, which is
an elected position. As the county attorney, Miller is responsible
for prosecuting a variety of
crimes that have occurred in the
county.
On the other hand, the role of
the county counselor is varied
and includes working closely
with the county commissioners to write resolutions, review
county contracts, research laws
and prepare the county’s tax
sale, among other legal issues.
In many counties, the county
attorney also serves as the county counselor, it was reported.
Miller began serving as the
county counselor in January and
received a $12,000 increase in
pay to fill the position previously held by Holton attorney Alex
Morrissey.
Morrissey served as county
counselor for six years, replacing her father, the late Ed Dunn.
Dunn had served as the county counselor since 1998.
It was reported that the commissioners are in the process of
seeking to fill the county counselor position.
In other business, according
to the approved minutes from
June 6, the commission:
Purple Heart Profiles
Presbyterian pastor traded
Bowers files motion for third trial church for combat zone
According to court documents, Bowers was found guilty
by a jury on the three charges
on March 31 and was given a
14-day window to file a motion
for a new trial. However, Swain
stated, she and Bowers were not
able to meet that deadline because they were still waiting on
a transcript of testimony given
by Chapman during the trial.
After Swain was granted a
60-day extension for filing the
motion for a new trial, she filed
the motion for a new trial, citing
several “reversible errors” committed by the court in allowing
Chapman’s testimony to stand.
The motion was predicated upon
the court allowing Chapman to
testify as a layperson on matters
“far outside her qualifications,
knowledge and education.”
“Opinions are only allowed
to be offered by experts. This
woman is not testifying as an expert here. And I would object to
questions calling for her opinion

being convicted in
March on child sex charges in
Jackson County District Court,
a Soldier resident is asking for
a third trial on the charges, with
his attorney stating that due to a
witness for the prosecution allegedly misrepresenting herself,
he did not receive a fair trial.
Anthony Bowers was found
guilty by a jury in March on
charges of rape, aggravated
indecent liberties with a child
and aggravated criminal sodomy that reportedly stemmed
from incidents that allegedly
occurred in late 2012. Bowers’
March trial was the second time
he faced a jury on the charges,
the original trial concluding in
2014 with a hung jury.
Bowers’ attorney, Sarah G.
Swain of Lawrence, has filed
a motion seeking a new trial,
stating that the court erred in

Chapman, “to testify as a layperson on subjects far outside
her qualifications, knowledge
and education.”
Swain also alleged that Jackson County Attorney Shawna
Miller “committed prosecutorial
misconduct by misleading the
court and defense counsel about
the nature” of Chapman’s testimony. As a result, Swain said,
Bowers was denied his right to
a fair trial.
A hearing on the motion for
a new trial for Bowers has been
set for Tuesday, Aug. 9 in Jackson County District Court, after
Miller filed for an extension
of the date, citing a need for
more time to properly respond
to Swain’s motion. If Swain’s
motion is denied, however, the
court will proceed to sentencing
on Bowers’ March convictions.

In a time of war, church
pastors are most often seen
reaching out to the families of
young men and women killed
in the line of military duty.
But in the case of a leader of
Holton’s now-defunct Presbyterian Church, it was the pastor who was killed in the line
of duty during World War II.
Eunace A. Wallace, who
was pastor of the Holton Presbyterian Church for two years
before leaving to accept a
chaplaincy in the U.S. Army,
U.S. Army Chaplain
Eunace A. Wallace
was killed in action on Feb.
18, 1944, in Italy, according
to reports that appeared in The
Holton Recorder that year.
Wallace was 45 years old at
the time of his death and was
posthumously awarded a Purple Heart.
Wallace, born on an Arkansas farm in 1902, graduated
from Princeton Theological
Seminary in 1926 and was
ordained later that year by the
Council Grove Presbytery. He
married Laura Van Slyke as
he was finishing his seminary
work, and the two of them
would make homes in Council Grove, Ottawa and Freeport, where Wallace pastored
Presbyterian churches.
In 1939, Wallace and his
growing family were called to
Holton, where he served as the
Presbyterian church’s minister. Two years later, in July of
1941, it was reported, he “felt
the call to serve the many men
who were entering the armed
services of our country,” and
he was commissioned a first
lieutenant to serve as a chaplain in the Army.

Also present were Samantha

The council reviewed minutes from the April 5 meeting.
Ryan made and Dillner seconded
a motion to approve the April 5
minutes as presented. The motion
carried.
Susan and Greg Lewis met
with the council and discussed
the recent water leak at their
property. They asked if the council would waive the above average sewer charges from their recent utility bill.
Holthaus made a motion to
average the sewer rates for 606
Highland Ave. and waive the
amount above the average sewer
charge on this bill. The charges
for water will remain. Dillner
seconded the motion, which carried.
Pam Brown with Delaware
Valley Center for Independent
Living met with the council and
discussed the many services offered by the company. Some of
the services discussed were assistance with Medicaid, disability, work training, youth transition
skills and peer counseling. The
main office is located in Horton
and can be contacted at 785-4871370.
Council member Allen arrived at the meeting at 7:15 p.m.
Sharon Gabriel met with the
council about the recent fees implemented for renting the shelter
house and gazebo. After much
discussion, the council agreed to
leave the rates the same. If there
are issues or requests for reduced
fees, those can be addressed on a
case-by-case basis with the council.
Gabriel also stated that there
are still funds available from the
county for specific projects. The
option is still there for the city to
request a specific amount from
the county for a specific project.
Kenny Bryan discussed a
need for a better spray system
for spraying weeds around the
city. Bryan received a price from
Heritage Tractor of $1,250 for a
system with a 55-gallon tank and
14-foot boom that will attach to
the tractor.
Dillner made a motion to allow Bryan to purchase this spray
system from Heritage Tractor for
$1,250. Allen seconded, and the
motion carried.
Bryan also discussed an upcoming necessary leave of absence. He will need to be off at
least four to six weeks. The council discussed possible replacements while Bryan is off work.
Larry Valdez asked why so
much water was released recently
from the water tower. The reason
for this was because of a scheduled washout for the tower.
Ed Kester presented a bulk
water invoice.
Dillner inquired about publication of fire department calls
in the Jackson County Commissioner minutes.
Tracy and Cara Evans met with
the council and discussed the recent fire to their home. There was
also discussion relating to their
utility bill.
Holthaus made a motion to
grant additional time (to the end
of the month) to the residents at
104 Highland Ave. to pay their
utility bill. Dillner seconded the
motion, which passed.
The Evans also discussed the
possibility of living in their garage while trying to make repairs
to their home. It was recommended that they discuss this with
Trevor Bausch and the zoning
board first, and then the council
can make a decision after hearing
the zoning board’s recommendations. The mayor asked that they
keep in touch on the progress of
cleanup and repair to the residence.
Trevor Bausch met with the
council to discuss the status of
progress on updating the zoning
maps.

the property across the highway

while he is off work. Holthaus
seconded, and the motion carried
with a 3-0 vote with one abstaining.

request by the Harvesters Distribution Group to make coffee
while they wait for the truck.
There were no issues with the
request.

communication between the
Pride of Hoyt Days Committee
and the council. Dreasher inquired if there would be any interest in the city having a more
active role in the planning of the
event. This will be discussed further at future meetings.

Bowers seeks new trial...
Continued from Page 1
But Swain’s objection was
overruled and Chapman’s testi
mony was allowed to stand. Swain
later contended that the state offered Chapman as a “fact witness” and that Chapman “was not
confused in the least about what
State’s counsel was really asking
her to do,” also citing a case where
similar action occurred and an objection was granted.
Swain said the court also “committed reversible error” by allowing Chapman “to testify as to the
supposed common characteristics
of child sex offenders” as a lay
witness. Swain also said Miller
committed “prosecutorial miscon
duct by misleading the court and
defense counsel about the nature
of Ms. Chapman’s testimony,
deliberately eliciting inadmissible
evidence, and encouraging im-
proper inference stacking.”
Swain also targeted the court for
permitting “testimonial hearsay”
of Bowers’ alleged victim to come
in through Chapman and Jackson County Deputy Travis Spiker
when the alleged victim “later
proved unavailable for cross-examination.” She argued that Bowers was entitled to face the alleged
victim in the trial, rather than hear
secondhand testimony, due to state
and national constitutional law
Miller filed a motion to deny
Bowers’ motion late last week.

OPINION
HOLTON RECORDER, MONDAY, JUNE 20, 2016, PAGE 4
____________________________________________
Homeless in Holton
D
riving to work this morning shortly after 6 a.m., I
spotted a young man sprawled out apparently asleep on
the park bench in front of the Beck-Bookman Library in
Holton along Fourth Street – the town’s main thoroughfare – about a block and half from the Town Square.
The summer sun was coming up and many motorists
like me were already on the road.
The young man looked like he was using a black
Hefty trash bag filled with something soft – probably
extra clothes – as his pillow. He had what looked like a
white bandage on one of his wrists.
My first thought upon seeing this unusual sight in
Holton was that this person must need some immediate
help. So I slowed down my pickup a little more and by
the time I had reached the Holton Police Station I decided to pull in to a parking stall there and report what I
had seen to the police dispatcher on duty.
I informed the dispatcher that there was someone
apparently sleeping on the park bench in front of the
library and I suggested that a police officer may want
to perform a welfare check on the person to make sure
they weren’t very sick or even deceased.
The dispatcher took my statement and soon a policeman entered the dispatch room also.
I asked if Holton has homeless people sleeping outside these days and the police employees confirmed
that, yes, Holton does have homeless people sleeping
outside these days.
The policeman said there were three other homeless
people in the town over the weekend. Most of them, it
was reported, are just passing through town and do not
stay very long. Others, it was reported, have been found
sleeping in the portable buildings for sale in the lot just
north of Trails Café.
At 7:45 a.m., I drove past the library again and I was
surprised to find the man still sleeping on the park bench
in front of the library.
When we think of homeless people, we often picture
them in bigger towns like Topeka and Lawrence, for
example.
Motorists like me who drove down Fourth Street in
Holton this morning were shown what homelessness
apparently looks like in a small town and it was a sad
sight.
In upcoming editions, we will provide additional reports on the issue of homelessness in small towns like
ours. The first question to get answered, I think, is what
should we do to help?
There is so much violence in our society these days.
I wondered to myself this morning whether I would be
putting myself in danger if I met with the man on the
park bench and offered to help him.
Ultimately, I decided not to “get involved’’ this time
but that seems to go against everything we’ve ever been

taught as Christians.

Some more observations
about contemporary cattle
By Jim Hoy
Here are a few more observa
tions about contemporary cattle
and cattle handling compared to
half a century
ago.
As I’ve
mentioned
before, two
big changes
were
the
switch to
yearlings
from older
steers and
the invasion
of the exot
ics.
L o n g horns, as well as Angus and
Herefords, had been in the New
World long enough to become
adapted to range conditions in
cattle country. But the exotics
haven’t fully adapted to the way
we do things here.
European farmers bring their
cows into a barn every night,
and they handle them on foot,
knowing each cow by name.
Out on the range cattle run free,
are worked from horseback (or,
unfortunately, on four-wheelers) and never see the inside of
a barn.
Nor do they receive the tender
loving individual care they got
back in the Old Country. Some
years ago, on a trip to Scotland,
we took a ferry to the Isle of
Hoy in the Orkney Islands, and
stayed on a cattle farm bed-andbreakfast.
The owner gave me a tour,
walking out into the pasture and
putting an arm around several of
his cows, calling each by name.
Even in summer he brought
them into a shed each night.
Another reason today’s cattle are harder to handle is age.
Working with yearlings that
haven’t fully matured and that
haven’t learned to herd up like
two- and three-year-olds is like
working with undisciplined
teenagers as compared to re
sponsible adults. Compound
that with exotics, and it’s even
harder. Here’s an example:
A few years ago, my son re
ceived several hundred Limousine yearling heifers for the
summer. I don’t think they’d
ever seen a horse. Every time
you rode into the pasture, they’d
start running. In order to try to
make things easier at shipping
time, Josh decided to “break”
them.
A bunch of us went into the
pasture and pushed the more
docile heifers after the wilder
ones running in front. After three
times around the thousand acre
pasture, we tried putting them in
a corner, but they broke.
After pushing them hard a cou
ple of more times, they stayed
in the corner, albeit somewhat
uneasily, so we backed off and
left them. They never did completely gentle down, but at least
we were able to get them all in
the pens when the trucks came
to get them.
Contrast that with a story
the late Andy Olson of Council
Grove told me one time. Sometime in the 1930s, Andy and a
friend were hanging around
either the White City or the
Dwight stockyards late one afternoon when a train dropped
off two carloads of steers, about
90 head. The man receiving the
cattle asked the boys if they
could drive them about a dozen
miles to his pasture.
Sure, they said, and headed
out. But the cattle were tired and
weak after the long train ride
from a droughty part of Texas,
and every once in a while, some
of them would just play out and
couldn’t be driven. When they
got to the pasture, Andy said,
they had left all but about 20
head behind.
By this time, the sun was setting and the teenaged boys got
off their horses to contemplate
the situation. “My friend had a
bottle of hot water,” Andy said,
meaning a bottle of bootleg
whiskey, “so we sat on the side
of the road to have a sip, and
the next thing I knew the sun
was coming up, the bottle was
empty, and my head wasn’t feeling so good. I said to my buddy,
‘We better go get those steers
that dropped out.’”
“Yeah,” he said, “but let’s
go in the pasture first and get a
count. Some of them might have
come in overnight.”
Andy said that every steer was
in the pasture. Those older cattle
knew how to herd up, and as
they rested and gained strength,
they had trailed their mates to
get back together with them.

Although summer doesn’t officially start until June 20, temperatures are already hitting the
90s and higher across Kansas..
And with those soaring temperatures comes the potential
for a variety of heat-related injuries. Heat is one of the leading
causes of weather-related deaths
in the United States, according
to the National Weather Service. Heat injuries include heat
cramps, heat syncope (fainting),
heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Heat stroke is a failure of the
body’s temperature control system resulting from prolonged
exposure to high temperatures,
often in combination with dehydration.
The medical definition of heat
stroke is a core body temperature greater than 105 degrees
Fahrenheit, with complications
involving the central nervous
system that occur after exposure
to high temperatures.
Common symptoms of heat
stroke include a throbbing
headache; dizziness and lightheadedness; lack of sweating;
red, hot, and dry skin; muscle
weakness or cramps; nausea and
vomiting; rapid heartbeat, either
strong or weak; rapid, shallow
breathing; behavior changes
such as confusion, disorientation, or staggering; seizures and
unconsciousness.
Untreated,
heat stroke can be fatal.
Heat injuries may affect anyone, although children, older
adults and pets are particularly
susceptible.
Annually, dozens of children
and untold numbers of pets die
when left unattended in parked
vehicles. Studies have shown
that the temperature inside a
parked car may rise rapidly to
dangerous levels for children,
pets and even adults.
Leaving the windows slightly
open does not significantly decrease the heating rate. The effects can be more severe for
children because their bodies
have not developed the ability
to efficiently regulate their internal temperature.
And it does not take long for
a car’s internal temperature
to reach danger levels. Studies have shown a car’s interior
may go from 80 degrees to 99
degrees Fahrenheit in as little as
10 minutes. In 20 minutes, it can
reach nearly 110 degrees. After
an hour, it‚ is at 123 degrees!
Be prepared
As with any weather season,
preparedness is essential to the
safety of you and your family.
To avoid heat-related injuries
this summer, the Kansas Division of Emergency Management advises following these
safety tips:
*Be weather-aware. Local offices of the National Weather
Service collaborate with local
partners to determine when a
heat-related alert should be issued for an area. These criteria
vary across the country.
Excessive Heat Outlooks are
issued when the potential exists for an excessive heat event
in the next 3-7 days. An outlook
provides information to those
who need considerable leadtime to prepare for the event.
*Excessive Heat Watches‚ Be
Prepared! Heat watches are issued when conditions are favorable for an excessive heat event
in the next 24 to 72 hours. A
watch is used when the risk of
a heat wave has increased, but
its occurrence and timing is still
uncertain.
*Heat Advisory‚ Take Action! A Heat Advisory is issued
within 12 hours of the onset
of extremely dangerous heat
conditions. The general rule of
thumb for this advisory is when
the maximum heat index temperature is expected to be 100
degrees or higher for at least
two days, and night time air
temperatures will not drop below 75 degrees.
Excessive Heat Warning‚
Take Action! An Excessive Heat
Warning is issued within 12
hours of the onset of extremely dangerous heat conditions.
The general rule of thumb for
this warning is when the maximum heat index temperature is
expected to be 105 degrees or
higher for at least two days and
night time air temperatures will
not drop below 75 degrees.
Stay out of the heat as much
as possible. Limit outdoor activities until the cooler part of
the day.
Dress for summer. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing to
reflect heat and sunlight.
If you must work outside for
an extended period, use sunscreen. Sunburn reduces your
body’s ability to dissipate heat.

Cool, humid weather
boosts tick population
By David G. Hallauer
Meadowlark Extension
District Agent
Crops & Soils/Horticulture
Ticks are
very active
throughout
the state, and
have
been
for the past
month. Cool
and
humid
weather ear
lier this sum
mer provided
a great op
portunity for
numbers to increase, causing
them to be encountered even in
corn fields!
Ticks are typically more prev
alent in more undisturbed ar
eas of grasses, weeds and other
overgrown vegetation. Even so,
they are very good at finding
hosts and getting the blood meal
they require for development
and reproduction.
Because of the potential dis
eases they can transmit, prevent
ing tick bites should be a prior
ity, particularly if you are going
to frequent areas ticks may fre
quent as well.
Typically, it consists of an
integrated approach that may
include modification of their
habitat (to lessen the likelihood
ticks will be present), personal
protection via the use of insect
repellants and removal of ticks
as soon as possible after they
have been found (ticks removed
within several hours after at
tachment are very unlikely to
transmit pathogens).

tick biology as well as suggest

positive outlook for moisture in
the near future, either!
Early reports would indicate a
mixed bag in terms of cool sea
son grass hay yields, with some
indicating a decent crop and oth
ers reporting below normal.
The follow up question to that
becomes, “Why?” That’s a ques
tion you can ponder as you pro
ceed through harvest and contin
ue to evaluate as you head in to
planning for the 2017 crop!
In some cases, weather is cer
tainly a component. A dry spell
didn’t encourage much move
ment of fertilizer into the soil
profile and hampered early sea
son growth as well.
It could also mean it’s time to
evaluate your fertility program.
Brome and fescue require 12
pounds of Phosphorous per ton
of yield. If soil test levels are
high, lower applied Phospho
rous rates may get you by – at
least for a time!
If they are already low, and an
adequate supply isn’t provided,
the response to other nutrients –
nitrogen in particular – will like
ly be reduced. In other words,
lots of N doesn’t typically com
pensate for low P levels.
Have you evaluated mowing
height or harvest timing? Har
vesting too low can inhibit regrowth, particularly on stressed
stands. Understanding how
grass responds to later harvest
times can also help you evaluate
why a stand may not be coming
back as fast as you’d like.
Be on the alert for things like
armyworm damage as well! If a
stand isn’t re-growing like you
think it should, it never hurts to
take a closer look to see if army
worms might be the culprit.
Just like fall harvest is a great
time to evaluate crop fields,
hay harvest is the time when
we can do the same for our for
age stands. Taking a moment to
evaluate now can help you fine
tune your management program
to optimize yields.
Trinity Lutheran
By John and Marcia Coufal
On June 12 at Trinity Lutheran
Church, the adult Sunday school
was led by Pastor Brian Stark
and the discussion was centered
around confession and absolu
tion. This very important event
takes place every Sunday during
the Divine Service.
How often do we feel the need
for a private confession with our
pastor or someone we trust?
How important is this in our
lives? Unless we feel this need,
we cannot be encouraged to re
pent of our sins. True repentance
is needed in order to receive ab
solution or forgiveness.
This Bible study prepared
the congregation for the sermon
shared by Pastor Stark regarding
mercy! Most people are ready to
help others in a crisis. But what
about helping those we don’t
think deserve the help or “mer
cy?” It is very difficult to fully
understand God’s mercy to all
sinners who confess and repent.
The story of David and Bath
sheba was described with the in
tervention of Nathan the prophet.
Even with the sin of adultery and
having her husband killed, God
forgave David. God can make us
like new when we confess and
repent.
Jesus forgave the sinful
woman who came to the Phari
sees’ home during a banquet and
washed His feet with her tears!
Truly repentant!
The ladies quilting group
members are Sylvia Meyers,
Lillian Powers, Rose Smith, Jan
Hosfeld, Maddie Sterret and
Marcia Coufal. They are in need
of help to bind the quilts they tie.
Anyone who has this skill is in
vited to help them out.
On Tuesdays at 4:30 p.m., the
adult instruction class is held
at the church and is led by Pas
tor Stark. Anyone interested in
learning more about Lutheran
ism is invited to attend.
The adult choir is in need of
more members. Please consid
er joining the choir in singing
praises to our precious Lord and
Savior!
New Life Nazarene
By Janice Kneisley
is an intentional
process that involves five stepsstarting, stopping, separating,
seeking and surrendering, Kevin
Kneisley, pastor of New Life
Church of the Nazarene, preached
this past weekend on Matthew
18:21-35.
Those five steps, he said, come
from every page of the Bible as
the formula of God’s grace He
extends to us on a daily basis.
“Questions about forgiveness
have been around since human
kind realized that it was harmful
to bottle up the poisons of bitter
ness and resentment,” Kneisley
said. “I have no idea what was
happening in Peter’s life at the
time when he asked Jesus how
many times he should forgive.
According to Jewish law at that
time, after the fourth sin, forgive
ness was not required. So imag
ine Peter’s surprise when Jesus
Forgiveness
said, ‘you must forgive 70 times
seven.’”
Kneisley said the message
is clear, we are to forgive much
because we have been forgiven
much by the Creator. He went on
to say forgiveness is a gift that we
give ourselves to free us from bit
terness and resentment. It is also
a choice that we make to free us
from ungrace, bitterness and re
taliation. He added is it a process,
a five-step process.

Buck’s Grove
Buck’s Grove Church on a beau
tiful Sunday, June 12.
After Mary Ringle lighted the
candles, lay servant Joyce Im
menschuh led the congregation
in the call to worship and the
opening prayer. The scripture
reading was 1 Kings 21:1-21 and
Galatians 2:15-21. The Psalter
reading was Psalm 5:1-8, which
was recited along with the Apos
tles’ Creed.
LeRoy Rieschick manned
the recorded music as the con
gregants sang “Rock Of Ages
Cleft For Me,” “Lord Speak To
Me” and “In Christ There Is No
East Or West.”
It was Althea Fordham’s Sun
day to provide a special. Betty
Bernritter read an article about
how awesome God’s accuracy
can be observed in all things like
the hatching of eggs, the wisdom
of making animals function the
way they do and the even num
bers of grains found on the stalk.
The gospel reading was from
Luke 7:36-8:3. Joyce’s ser
mon was titled “Four Words To
Change Your Life.” Can four
words really change your life?
Sure they can. I’m sorry it’s can
cer. Yes, you are pregnant. The
baby needs changed. You are be
ing audited.
How much sin must a person
commit to be a sinner? All of us
are in one category or another –
either we know our need for sal
vation, or we don’t.
The Bible says many good
people are lost because they
don’t realize you can’t get to
heaven by being good, only by
being saved.
What an incredible moment
when Jesus said those four lifechanging words – “Your sins are
forgiven.” Because we are for
given, we are called to be forgiv
ers. Until we do, our relationship
with God will continue to be hin
dered. We can have peace when
we know we are forgiven and
when we have forgiven others.
Don Boling and Jack Bern
ritter collected the offering as
the service closed by singing
“Let There Be Peace On Earth.”
Bible study was led by Joyce.
Note: Life without God is like
an unsharpened pencil – it has no
point!

The Holton Post 44 Junior Legion baseball team

Wednesday. The top photo was taken as the team
prepared to take the field that evening. Blaine Lester, the pitcher shown above, took the mound for
Holton in the first game. Photos by Michael Powls
festation was discovered in Oct.
of 2007, these mussels have
spread throughout the lake. It’s
up to all of us to make sure these
are not spread to other area
lakes, Clean-Drain-Dry everything that is taken out of Perry.
Mussels will start spawning
as the water temperature rises
to around 54 degrees. Please do
not move water from Perry Reservoir.
Channel Catfish - Good - up
to 10 lbs. Cut bait in the Delaware River delta area and upper
reaches of the reservoir near incoming water and/or off wind
blown shoreline work.
Cut bait is good, but livers are
also seem to be a good selection
for bait during this time of year.
Set lines have been good using
sunfish for bait have been productive.
Fish are also being taken below the dam, but action will be
variable with the increase in the
outflow this weekend. There are
also some flathead on artificial
lures and live bait. While wipers are also taken using artificials, worms and cut baits below the dam.
Sauger – Slow - up to 2.6 lbs.
There are good numbers in the
reservoir but harvest is impacted by high inflows, high water
elevations & turbidity. Harvest
is also annually slower in the
warmer months.
Largemouth Bass/Smallmouth
Bass - Slow to Fair - up to 5 lbs.
Crank baits or plastics worked
around the cover/shallow best
in the Rock Creek and Slough
Creek arms. However, the high
water conditions are hampering
the catch due to the expanded
flooded habitat. Some of the
emerging smallmouth bass population are being caught. Generally off rocky shoreline and
points.
White Bass - Slow to Fair - up
to 1.5 lbs. Fishing in the Delaware River, feeder streams to
the lake and to some extent lake
wide by anglers in recent days.
White bass fishing in the river
below the dam is also slower,
but lake releases are to go up
later in the week. There is some
harvest up in the feeder streams
where the turbid water and clear
waters meet. Anglers are using
chartreuse jigs and traditional
shad imitation lures.
White Crappie - Slow to Fair
- up to 1.5 lbs. Crappie fishing
has slowed with the rain and
higher water levels. Fish are still
spread out. Some fish will still
congregate near structure. There
is some legal harvest around fish
attractors and near docks.
Blue Catfish - Fair to Good up to 25 lbs. Some nice fish in
the 35 inch length limit range
can be taken, but most are below the length limit. Try drifting
or still fishing using shad or cut
bait in the upper reaches on the
channel and breaks. Remember,
blue cats look similar to channel
catfish, so be careful with identification. You do not want to be
caught in possession of a small
blue cat below the 35 inch minimum length limit.
SHAWNEE COUNTY
LAKE SHAWNEE
Located on the east side of Topeka, this lake has 416 surface
acres.
Zebra Mussels were found in
Lake Shawnee during the summer of 2013. Lake users should
Clean, Drain and Dry boats,
trailers and any equipment that
comes in contact with the water to keep from moving zebra
mussels elsewhere.
Largemouth bass – Fair - 0.52 lbs. Fish are being caught using crankbaits, jigs and spinnerbaits.
Bluegill – Fair - Up to 0.25
lbs. Fish have been caught using
pieces of worm under bobber,
small jigs and small spinners.
Channel catfish - Fair-Good 0.5-4 lbs. Fish are being cught
using worms, shad and cut bait.
Walleye – Fair - 0.5-3 lbs.
Fish are being caught using jig
and nightcrawler and by trolling
crankbaits.
SHAWNEE STATE
FISHING LAKE
This 135-surface acre lake is
located eight miles northwest of
Topeka.
Largemouth Bass – Good 1/2 to 5 pounds. The lake has a
very good population of black
bass over 15 inches, holding
along the shoreline in 3 to 6 feet
of water.
Crappie - Fair to Slow - 1/2
to 1 pound. The current crappie
population is dominated by fish
less than 10 inches, but KDWP
seen some over 12 inches this
spring, a few being caught along
the rock piers.
Channel Catfish - Good! - 1/2
- 4 pounds. The lake is in the
Urban Stocking Program and
is frequently stocked with 12
to 18 inch catfish. On May 17,
there were 1,250 channel catfish
stocked into the lake. So far this
year, 2,350 channel catfish have
been stocked. Anglers have
been doing well off the rock
piers or near the two fish feeders. Channel catfish daily limit
is 5.

THE HOLTON RECORDER!
Reunion held for those that
attended area country schools
By Carolyn Bohannon
was held on Sunday, May 29,
at the Hutchins Building in
Holton.
Several attendees from various country schools in Jackson County were represented.
Friends and neighbors joined
together to enjoy a delicious
potluck dinner.
The welcome and introductory remarks were made by
Carolyn Bohannon, emcee.
She led the Pledge of Allegiance followed by The Lord’s
Prayer. This was the daily
practice of country schools in
earlier years. Everyone present gave their name and the
country school they attended.
The group enjoyed a trip
down memory lane through
readings and poems given
by Mary Longren and Carolyn Bohannon. Those present
enjoyed music and songs by
“15 Minutes Late” consisting
of Roy Hallauer, Jim Baxter,
Michelle McClintock Ramage and Christina Schlodder
Murphy as they played some
oldies. These musicians also
accompanied several songs
of yesteryear that were led by
Mary and Carolyn as everyone
had the opportunity to join in
group singing.
Out of town guests included:
Harold and Alice Rathbun
of Bellevue, Wash.; Jay and
Marilyn Matthias, Tecumseh;
Shirley Swartz, Verda Gharst,
Devon Schulz, Lyle and Reona
Shoemaker and Beverly Harding, all of Topeka; Don and
Carolyn Bohannon of Lyndon;
Glen and Loueen Swoyer of
Shawnee; Masen Shoptese of
Blue Rapids; Paul and Mary
Longren of Westmoreland;
Geraldine Moore of Maple
Hill; and Betty Bowser of
Mayetta.
Guests from the Holton
area included Joe and Annette
Barnes, Harold Knouft, Mary
Schulz, Marlin and Betsy Zibell, John Zibell, Stacy McKinney, Bob Beightel, Dave
Fiedler, John Davis, Tim
Schlodder, Christina Schlodder Murphy, Roy Hallauer, Jim
Baxter, Michelle McClintock
Ramage, David McClintock
and Marianne McClintock.
A book of poems, “As The
Seasons Roll,” by the late
Winifred M. Nelson, Jackson County superintendent of
schools, was shared, and Roy
Hallauer brought a map of
Jackson County showing the
various country school districts. Visiting and reminiscing
of country school days gone by
was enjoyed by all.
Plans were made to meet
again, the same place and the
same time, the last Sunday of
May in 2018.
Royal Valley FFA had a very
successful convention at the
recent 88th annual Kansas FFA
Convention. The novice parliamentary procedure team of
Emily Albright, Eryn Daugherty, Sierrah Franklin, Alyssa
Gooderl, Lindsey Bowden and
Holly Mitchell competed at the
event.
“This year’s FFA State Convention was a brand new experience for me,” Daugherty said.
“I am glad I had the chance to
compete in a state competition.
I don’t think that we could have
made it to state competition
without our wonderful advisor,
Kim Mitchell.”
Franklin agreed.
“This was a great experience
to be able to participate in the
novice parlaw at the state convention,” Franklin said. “Even
though we didn’t do well on the
competition, it was a wonderful
opportunity and a new experience.”
Mitchell participated in the
creed competition. Janelle Marney participated in the prepared
public speaking completion. Anna Johnson competed in the
job interview event, placing
sixth in the state. In each of these events, the
team or individuals placed high
enough at districts to qualify
for state. Jenna Thurman received a
state proficiency award in agriculture education.
“I am so glad that I got the
state agriculture education proficiency,” Marney said. “It’s been a long road to get
here, and I’m excited that I got
to experience this while still in
FFA,” Thurman said.
The chapter received a Farm
Bureau Community grant. The
chapter also placed in the silver
division for each of the three
areas of the National Chapter
Award-community,
student,
and chapter. Marney represented the chapter well in her quest to become
a state FFA officer. Jordan Cox
and Blake Chance served as
delegates for the chapter at the
convention. Lastly, Patrick Broxterman,
Marney and Thurman all re-
ceived the highest degree
the state can bestow upon its
members, the golden charm of
the state FFA degree. Others in attendance representing Royal Valley were
Kim Mitchell (sponsor), Heidi
Mitchell, Heather Bailey, Cooper Daugherty, Barb Albright,
Angela Marney and Jessie
Marney. “I was honored to get to carry
the colors at the beginning of
the first ceremony,” Emily Albright said. “It was a great experience, and I was very honored to be able to be apart of
it.”
Mitchell summarized the
convention.
“What an amazing ride these
last three years have been for
the Royal Valley FFA chapter,” Mitchell said. “I believe
after our success at this convention, we can no longer be
called a new chapter. Our community and school should be
very proud of the work that our
members have put in to take
our chapter to the level that we
are at today.”

County buys
statehouse
furniture
By Ali Holcomb
pieces of furniture
from the State Capitol Building in Topeka have found
a new home at the Jackson
County Courthouse.
In early May, several thousands of items from the Kansas
statehouse were put up for auction. The items were salvaged
during the 13-year renovation
of the statehouse, which was
completed last year.
During the online auction,
the Jackson County Commissioners – Janet Zwonitzer, Bill
Elmer and Rob Ladner – purchased (for the county) an old
large, 15-foot curved wooden
desk that will be used as their
commission table when they
move the commission chamber
from the second floor of the
Courthouse to the first floor
later this year.
It was reported that the
curved desk was previously
used as a clerk’s desk in the
State Senate chamber and was
built by E. Horn Manufactur-

Both items are located in the first floor meeting room

ing of Topeka. The county purchased the desk for $1,010.
In addition, the commissioners purchased a large, six-door
bookcase at a cost of $3,000.
The bookcase was previously

Court, and it will also be used
in the new commission chamber, which serves also as a
large meeting room.
The commissioners also had
the highest bid for a conference
table, with a bid of $800, as
well a miscellaneous bookcase
doors and parts that were sold
separately at a cost of $430.
The total purchase price for

available for purchase during
the auction included thousands
of feet of wooden trim, cast

going to a woman’s house. She
bathed Jesus’ feet with her tears
and dried them with her hair.
She anointed Jesus’ feet with
ointment.
Jesus said, “This woman’s
sins have been forgiven because
she has shown great love.” Jesus told the woman, “Your faith

Barbara Hanson read the
scriptures Psalm 8 and Ephesians 2:10. The sermon “Only
Human” was given by the Rev.
Kevin Rea, director of the Forest Park Conference and Retreat Center.
Superheroes bring us a message of hope. They help people
get involved and make a change
for the better. We hear people
say, “I’m only human,” “I can
only do so much” and “I only
By Mary E. Edwards
have two hands.”
We were created by God for
a purpose, to do great things.
We are God’s masterpiece. God
knows what His plan is for each
of us. Let us put our trust in
God and seek to do good things
in His name.
Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we
are what He has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good
works, which God prepared
beforehand to be our way of
life.”
God will show us the way.
Human beings are super heroes.
The closing hymn was “Here
I Am, Lord.” Those assisting
with the service were Barbara
Hanson, liturgist; Marty Ransdell, organist; Deb Mannell
and Joy Jepson, sound system;
Molly Strobel, acolyte; Betty
Domer, song leader; and John

Psalm 5:1-8. Hymns were “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee,”
“Lead Me, Lord” and “A Charge
To Keep I Have.” Pastor Caren
led the congregational prayer
followed by silent reflection, the
pastoral prayer and the Lord’s
Prayer.
The scripture was Ephesians
6:10-18 and Luke 22:1-6. Pastor Caren’s message was “Put
On The Whole Armor Of God”
in answer to the question, “What
and where are the scriptures concerning the believer who falls
away from Christ’s way?”
We live in a world that is constantly pulling us away from the
Christian way of living. We are
tempted by the devil, who we
don’t recognize as evil.
Ephesians 6 tells us to put on the
full armor of God so that when
the day of evil comes, we can
stand firm with the belt of truth,
the breastplate of righteousness
in place and our feet fitted with
(comfortable) shoes of readiness
from the gospel of peace.
In addition, take up the shield
of faith, which will put out the
flaming arrows from the evil one.
Take the sword of the Holy Spirit, which is the word of God.
After services at Netawaka,
Whiting and Horton, a potluck
lunch was held at Whiting Community Center as a farewell to
Pastor Caren, thanking her for
her time with us. She will be
moving to Lyndon at the end of
June.

His first assignment was at
Fort Sill in Oklahoma, and he
stayed there for a year before
being promoted to the rank of
captain and transferring to Camp
Claiborne in Louisiana. From
there, he went to North Africa and
eventually to Italy, where he was
killed in action on the beachhead
below Rome, it was reported.
Wallace’s survivors included
his wife, Laura, and their three
children, who had relocated to
Texarkana, Ark., while he was in
the Army, as well as three brothers, all serving in the ministry —
two of them in Kansas, in fact, at
the time of his death.
Wallace may not have been
engaging in armed combat at the
time of his death, as an editorial
in the Topeka Capital newspaper — reprinted in The Recorder
on March 20, 1944 — suggested
that “not every hero of this war
carries a gun.”
“Chaplain Wallace gave his
life for his country at a time
when he was serving in the line
of duty as a man of God traveling with the troops into combat,”
the editorial said. “As he saw it,
the church has an obligation to
provide whatever spiritual assistance can be extended to our
men in uniform. He risked his
life, and gave his life, to carry
out that duty.”
Purple Heart...
County Commission...
* Learned from Eric Fritz,
road and bridge department
co-supervisor, that he has been
looking into implementing a
hazmat spill plan for the fuel and
oil tanks located at the bridge
yard on the east side of Holton
the new road and bridge shop
just north of Holton.
The Kansas Department of
Health and Environment is mandating that plans be established
for all counties.
Fritz said that, after some research, he estimates that a spill
plan for the tanks at the bridge
yard will cost $2,100 and $800
at the new shop.
It would be ideal, Fritz said, if
all tanks were at one location. If
they were, Fritz said the county
would need a containment area
around the tanks, which generally includes two-foot concrete
walls with a concrete floor.
* Heard a weekly report from
Fritz and Earl Bahret, road and
bridge department co-supervisor, Bryson Bain, shop foreman, and Twila White, road and
bridge department administrative assistant.
An estimate was received
from Sullivan Construction of
Holton to install concrete to triple the size of the proposed tire
shop addition to the new road
and bridge shop.
The company was already
awarded the bid to pour concrete and rebar for the original,
proposed 20-foot by 50-foot tire
room at a cost of $8,960.
The new estimate for concrete
for a 50-foot by 60-foot tire area
and retaining wall is $29,585.
Later in the meeting, Fritz presented an estimate from Schulz
Construction of Topeka for in-
creasing the size of the proposed
roof for the tire area.
The new roof estimate for the
tire shop area is $55,900 for a
60-foot by 54-foot extension.
The steel framework is estimated to cost $9,720.
The commissioners said they
are interested in enlarging the
proposed tire shop addition so
that it’s large enough to accommodate county vehicles for tire
work and not just serve as a storage unit for the tires and associated supplies.
* Discussed N and 238th
Roads, which the commissioners viewed the previous week. A
resident requested that maintenance work be completed on the
road so that a few acres of land
can be sold.
Commissioners said they
were not in favor of maintaining
that portion of the road.
Kester informed the council
that the main operator and one
of the major contributors of the
fireworks event will be retiring in

Chief of Police Dan Wentling
gave the monthly police report.
Wentling reported that the school

The council discussed the ordinance passed allowing Dustin
Gunter to ride his ATV to and
from school.
The council discussed parking
on Main Street and the need to repaint lines on the street. Holthaus
stated that he would look into the
options and costs for doing this
work.
Holthaus
discussed
the
$12,000 estimate from Andrews
Asphalt and Construction, Inc.
for asphalt patching and miscellaneous crack sealing on various
streets in town. Holthaus made a
motion to accept the bid from Andrews Asphalt and Construction,
Inc. in the amount of $12,000.
Ryan seconded the motion, and
it carried.
Ryan discussed a recent water line break by the Rural Water
District No. 1 office. Ryan also
discussed a conversation with
Bryan regarding the need to clean
out the main water shut off valve
holes making for easier access
when needed and reduce chances
of valves breaking.
Bryan has discussed this with
Bob Ehrhart and it is estimated
the cost will be around $1,000.
Ryan made a motion to have Ehrhart Excavating and Bryan clean
the main shut off valve holes.
Allen seconded the motion. The
motion carried.
Ryan discussed the recent work
done by Bryan at the community
building. His repairs appear to
have fixed the condensation and
leaking problem at the building.
Dillner discussed the upcom-
ing seventh grade community
service project at the park. She
also stated that the new swing is
up at the park. The flooding of
the gazebo was also discussed.
Allen made and Ryan seconded a motion to pay bills. The motion carried.

Dr. Schneider said that Holton
is an ideal community.
“It’s a safe place to raise children,” he said. “The community

The ice storm of 2007 is a good
