CLOSED 4th & 5th TO ENGAGE

GLEN ELDER — The Waconda
Lake Fireworks Association has
announced the fireworks display at
Waconda Lake will take place on
Saturday, July 5 at dusk.
Organizers say a gracious
landowner is allowing the fireworks
to be shot off from a great location
just north of the lake. Campers,
visitors, and viewers will be able to
continue their firework viewing
traditions just as they have done in
the past.
This holiday tradition will be able
to continue because of all the support
from local individuals, businesses,
and the gracious landowner.
Rainbow Fireworks from Inman, will
provide North Central Kansas with a
brilliant fireworks display.
BELOIT — The July 4th holiday
is this week, and the Kansas Highway
Patrol has some important
enforcement initiatives that motorists
should be aware of.
Now through July 10, the Patrol
will be conducting a texting
enforcement initiative.
Troopers will be out looking for
drivers who are violating Kansas’
texting law, and will be citing those
observed in violation.
The Kansas law states on a
wireless device, drivers may not
manually type, send, or read a written
communication, including, but not
limited to, a text message, instant
message, or electronic mail.
According to statistics from the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), texting
while driving creates a crash risk 23
times greater than driving while not
distracted.
In 2012, an estimated 421,000
people were injured in motor vehicle
crashes involving a distracted driver,
this reflects a nine percent increase
from the estimated 387,000 people
injured in 2011.
The Kansas Highway Patrol and
local law enforcement enforce the
texting law throughout the year, but
this holiday period, the Patrol will
place a special emphasis focused on
locating those texting while driving.
With the July 4th holiday, many
motorists will be traveling across the
nation. The Patrol will be out actively
looking for impaired drivers. With
many celebrations across the state,
drivers should make sure they are
designating a sober driver. The Patrol
would also like to remind motorists to
wear their seatbelts and use the
correctly fitted child safety seats, as
they are the best defense should you
be involved in a crash.
BELOIT — The Early Wellness
Center in Beloit is now selling Little
Caeser Pizza kits as a fundraiser. For
more information, call 738-3055.
BELOIT — Friendship Meals will
be on Monday, July 7
This week’s meal has a Fourth of
July flavor with hot dogs and
hamburgers.
Serving is from 5:30 to 7 p.m., at
the United Methodist Church
Fellowship Hall at the corner of Bell
and 8th streets in Beloit.
BELOIT — The Beloit Call will
not publish this Friday in observance
of the Fourth of July holiday
weekend.

Despite the recommendation of the building’s owner, the Beloit
City Council voted 4-3 to approve the lower window replacement bid
centered around a Downtown Rehabilitation Block Grant.
In May 2013, the city of Beloit was awarded a $162,693 — twothirds of the total costs — to stabilize and repair a retail building
constructed in the 1890s along the 100 block of East Main in
downtown Beloit.
The owners will invest $58,000 — or one-third the cost of the
project — in private funds.
Work elements will include foundation improvements,
stabilization of exterior walls and windows, and upgrading electrical
wiring to comply with local code standards.
The building owners and the North Central Regional Planning
Commission recommended city leaders approve the $83,795 bid from
Glass Services in Salina to provided Manko 725 Series All Aluminum
windows for the project. But some city leaders balked at the bid
difference and voted to go with a $48,305 bid from Concordia-based
Geisler Roofing and Home Improvement. That bid provides Pella
Architect Series with Endura Guard Wood Interior with Aluminum
Clad Exterior.
“The Glass Services bid doesn’t look complete,” said council
member Charlene Abell. “And the Geilser bid is a lot cheaper.”
“‘Cheaper’ is a good term,” said Doug McKinney, executive
director of the North Central Regional Planning Commission, noting
the aluminum windows have a lifetime guarantee and the wood
windows come with a 15 year warranty.
Abell, along with council members Bob Richard, Bob Petterson
and Lloyd Littrell favored the Geisler bid, while Kent Miller, Tony
Gengler and Matt Otte voted against the move.

BELOIT — The American Red Cross
urges eligible blood donors to roll up a
sleeve and give to help prevent a summer
blood shortage.
Blood donors with types O negative, B
negative and A negative are especially
needed.
The next Blood Drive in Mitchell
County is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 6
p.m., on July 17 at North Central Kansas
Wellness Center Gym, 3033 US Hwy 24
in Beloit.
Mitchell County residents are being
asked to donate blood in honor of young
Keller King.
On Feb. 11, his mother noticed her son
had an enlarged abdomen, a fever, and he
looked very pal and lacked energy. This
discovery began a whirlwind of docters’
and appointments and medical tests that
ended with admission to Children’s
mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.
GLEN ELDER – The 2014 Annual Wakonda Indian Festival is
scheduled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, July 19 and Sunday July
20, at Glen Elder State Park. There will be a free park entrance or
both days for those attending the annual festival, now in it’s fourth
year.
The Wakonda Indian Festival has grown each year offering an
opportunity for those attending to experience American Indian
culture through dance, drumming and historical education.
The Waconda Lake area is rich in American Indian history and
the Festival allows people the chance to experience that history
through events and artwork on hand.
“Last years event was very successful with more than 170 people
attending each day,” said director and founder Sharon Hesket
Sahlfeld. “We ran into a few snags, but we were fortunate to have a
good crowd enjoy the festivities up to that point with no more
damage than what we had. Our Indian taco people had to cancel and
so we were lacking in the food department but this years festivities
promise to include Indian food along with Texas Reds barbecue on
both days and shaved ice on Sunday.”
One and possibly two teepees will be set up on Friday night and
the Mitchell County Historical Society will be setting up educational
displays for the Festival.
Entertainers will include Navajo, Cheyenne River Sioux, Oglala

Violet Williams
to celebrate
85th birthday
Annie’s
Mailbox
I’m a 58-yearold male. Ever since my early
20s, I’ve been confused about
which sex I truly am. Of course,
I was born a male, but my
thoughts and feelings are that of
a female. There is nothing about
being a male that interests me.
I’m thinking about getting
hormone shots to become more
female.
I’ve lived with this issue all of
my life, but maybe it’s too late
for me now. Do you have any
suggestions or information? -Unknown Gender
It is not too
late for you to work on this, and
we recommend you get more
information before starting
hormone shots. You can find
resources and support on
transgender issues through the
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender Community Center
(gaycenter.org)
and
the
American
Psychological
Association (apa.org), which
can answer many of your
questions and point you in the
right direction.
Two years ago,
our youngest daughter married a
wonderful young man. We
adore this guy, and he is a
loving and caring husband. The
problem is his parents. Neither
his family nor ours is wealthy,
and from the early stages of
wedding planning, we worked
to stay within a budget.
Our family is small, and his is
large, which put the dinner over
budget. We all met prior to the
wedding, and the groom’s
parents assured us they would
pay for the additional guests
from their side of the family. At
the end of the evening, my
husband paid the catering bill.
The next day, the groom’s
father thanked us for all of the
planning and effort that went
into making the day so special
and added that he would be
sending us a check to cover the
dinner.
That was two years ago, and
we have yet to receive a dime.
Our new son-in-law asked his
father several times whether he
had settled up with us, and he
said he absolutely would, but it
hasn’t happened.
We love this young man
dearly, and I’m afraid if we say
anything now, he will take it
upon himself to pay us, and it’s
not his responsibility. My
husband has worked hard his
whole life, and at the age of 70,
he is very set in his ways. He
judges a man by his word, and
now he wants nothing to do
with our daughter’s in-laws.
Should I send them a note
asking them to pay, even after
all this time? I’m afraid that
when future grandchildren
come, it will be tense and
unpleasant to be around each
other because of this unpaid bill.
-- Sad Mother-in-Law
We’re going to
give the in-laws the benefit of
the doubt and assume they
forgot. Even with the best of
intentions and a few reminders,
people can let things slip out of
their heads. We suggest you
send a note to the other parents
(both of them), saying that you
were going through your
checkbook and noticed that this
account was still unsettled. Ask
when would be convenient for
you to come by and pick up the
check. (If they live out of state,
ask them when you can expect it
in the mail.) If you think they
are having financial difficulties,
you could offer an installment
plan. Be sure to add some kind
words about their wonderful son
and how thrilled you are to have
him in the family. We hope they
come through.
I have a
suggestion for “Confused,”
whose husband refuses to give
her an allowance or spending
money. She stated that she is 59
years old, worked for 30 years
but was unable to continue due
to ill health.
I suggest she immediately
contact her local Social Security
office and file a claim. As a
former disability examiner, I
can tell you that her age, work
record and disability should be
sufficient to collect benefits. -B.

Last week, Eleen’s husband,
Monty, went to check the
engine before a planned trip to
the Kansas City area. When he
popped the hood, a little kitten
was resting atop the engine
compartment. The startled kitling — no bigger than a cup of
coffee — jumped down and disappeared.
Cats on this farm near the
Mitchell-Cloud County line are
not new. The family has six or
seven battle-tested tabbies
roaming the barns and a few
kittens.
This particular kitten, with a
black face and white chest, was
about to give Ilene and her family a run for their money and
test that nine lives theory.
The couple hit the
road
early
that morning
and stopped
in
Clay

where they
thought they
heard what
sounded like ‘meowing’ coming
from the car but couldn’t find
the source. Then they stopped in
Topeka and heard the same
noise. Still nothing.
When they reached their destination in Kansas City, there
was no noise. They didn’t think
much of it.
For the next 12 hours, they
were with their daughter who
was receiving treatment inside
the KU Medical Center.
They then left the medical
center and went to their daughter’s home in Kansas City. As
they unloaded for the night they

kitten hiding
beneath
the
car, the same
small, fuzzy
kitten seen earlier that morning jumping
from
the
engine compartment before the car left
rural Mitchell County.
Ileen said it took a minute or
two to round up the tiny bewilderbeest, barely old enough to
be away from its mother,
because it hadn’t been around
people at all prior to this trip.
The cat was so tiny it didn’t
know how to drink milk, Ileen
said. It would just slap the dish
with its paw.
Ileen theorizes the catlet hid
in the wheel-well after jumping
from the engine and became a
passenger simply along for the
ride.
On the way home, Ileen says,
they kept the micropanther with
them in the car. He found a spot
he liked under the car seat.
Now back on the farm, family is currently calling the traveling fuzz-face ‘KC.’ But Ileen
said it might be fun to have a
contest to name the little ocra
cat.
She said she’s had several
suggestions already. I like
Turbo, Junior for Earnhardt or
A.J. as in Foyt. Sylvester might
be good too, colors match and
he was always making trouble.

Monday with the group of college kids bicycling their way
across the country when they
stopped for the night in Beloit.
They are five weeks in to a
10 week schedule that started in
Virginia Beach, Virg., and ends
at Cannon Beach, Ore. The riders said they dipped their back
tires in the Atlantic Ocean to
begin their ride and will dip
their front tires in the Pacific
Ocean to end the journey.
One young female rider
said the wind in Kansas was,
to date, the biggest obsticale
she had faced on the trip.

Donald Higgins, Jr., the
man who won Solomon
Valley Home Center’s 2014
Spring giveaway told me he
almost didn’t enter the
contest.
He said his wife had been
in the Carolina’s and he
thought it might be a good
idea if he picked up the house
a little bit before she returned
home.
He was cleaning up a pile
of papers when he saw the
circular
announcing
the
contest. He read it and saw he
still had time to enter and the
rest, as they say, is history.
Recent tests of his chest and
abdomen have come back
clear. He should complete his
last round of treatment on
Thursday.
The Red Cross is seeing
fewer appointments at its blood
donation centers and blood
drives this summer than what is
needed to ensure blood and
platelets continue to be
available for patients.
During the summer months
of June, July and August, on
average, about two fewer
donors make an appointment to
give blood at each blood drive
than what patients need. This
can add up to more than
100,000 fewer donations during
the summer.

Nell Burnham, formerly of

Henry and Nora Smith in
Overbrook. She had one sister,
Alberta, and a brother, Clark.
She attended country school
in the Overbrook area. As a
child, her family lived on the
farm. She rode horses and
gardened. She enjoyed cooking
and canning. She continued her
love of cooking, especially
making her famous lemon
meringue pie for guests coming
to visit.
Nell always looked forward
to her nephews and families
coming to visit, and what she
could prepare for them. Nell
enjoyed playing bridge, and
sometimes would play several
days a week. She had many
friends, especially her little
group of ladies around the
Hilltop Apartments.
She
enjoyed thinking of something
special to serve at her house
when it was her turn to host.
Nell had the best sense of
humor and her cute little laugh
would just make you smile or
laugh with her.
In November 1963, she
married Joe Burnham in

50 years last November and
had a celebration with family
and friends.
They lived in Lawrence in
the early part of their marriage.
Nell worked in a furniture store
there. They built a home on
Lake Perry, where she enjoyed
watching and feeding birds, and
entertaining friends and family
that came to visit. Nell had a
great
love
of
animals,
especially all of her dogs,
which are however too many to
name.
When Joe retired, they
moved to Jewell.
They
traveled in their motor home
and wintered in Alamo, Texas.
Nell moved to Hilltop Lodge in
July 2012, when her health
began to fail. She was a
member of the Methodist
Church.

Dean Smith and families;
godchildren, Lindsay Rut,
Lacey Miller and Blake Burks;
