The Covered Dish: Easy Shrimp Creole
Last week I did a
bunch of low sodium
cooking for a friend
who recently had a
heart attack. Needless
to say my eyes were
opened to a need for
even more creativity
in the kitchen. Then
there was the phone
call from our family
friend, ‘Bob’. Bob has
to watch his diet pretty
closely. Well look out
everyone you are about
to get an overload column from Debbie!
Beside the stove you
need to organize some
of your favorite spices. For me it leans
towards garlic powder,
onion powder, cayenne
pepper, ground white
pepper, salt free bouillons, fresh basil and
cilantro. When I made
this shrimp creole last
week I used salt free
tomatoes and sauce. I
couldn’t locate stewed
unsalted tomatoes so
I used chopped tomatoes, unsalted and a
couple cans of unsalted
tomato sauce. The trinity, (peppers, onion and
celery) are pretty much
‘safe.’ Steer clear of soy
sauces, Worcestershire,
teriyaki, ketchup. All
contain high amounts
of salt and in the case
of the ketchup, sugar.
Switch to fresh made
salsa for a condiment,
or just don’t use as
much.
I use a great deal
of ‘Herb Ox’ salt free
bouillon. Only drawback is it has MSG. The
other product of choice
would be ‘Better than
Bouillon,’ (black lid)
and get the low sodium
version. This contains
NO MSG. I’m always
joking at work saying:
‘Why can’t these two
companies combine
and get us a salt free/
MSG free product?’
You will notice on the
creole recipe that you
need ‘Creole’ seasonings. Instead I used
no-salt beef bouillon,
garlic powder, onion
powder, oregano and
cayenne pepper. The
really cool thing about
this easy recipe is how
you can make extra
batches without the
shrimp.
Freeze the
sauce or you can save
your freezer space and
can the recipe, followed
by a hot water bath.
On the rice subject it’s always better
to go brown, but I’m a
sucker, I usually use

Easy Shrimp Creole
2 cans (14 1/2 oz.) stewed tomatoes, undrained
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped celery (about 2
ribs)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 teaspoon creole seasoning
1 pound peeled large fresh/frozen
shrimp
Sauté pepper, onion and celery in hot oil in a large nonstick skillet about
8 minutes or until tender. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute. Stir in chopped
tomatoes, hot sauce and creole seasonings. Bring to a boil; reduce heat
and simmer, uncovered 20 minutes. Stir in shrimp, cover and simmer
3 minutes or just until shrimp turns pink. Serve hot over cooked rice.
Serves 4 persons as a main entrée.
white Basmati rice. Be
sure and rinse well to
remove excess starch.
This is a good one dish
meal. You might even
consider placing the
shrimp on a skewer
and grilling it instead
of putting it inside the
sauce!
I started going
through my first cookbook, ‘Simply Yours’
tonight, looking at
recipes that could be
changed to lighter versions. Stuffed Peppers
quickly came to mind,
along with Italian
Sausage Bake.
My
favorite is the chicken and fruit salsa, yum
yum! Bob, if you don’t
have the book you
should meet up with
me on the 27th of June,

June brings new challenges
The second full week
of June proved to be a
busy one. We made attempts to get in the field
and cut wheat but ran
into several problems.
The whole week was actually plagued with combine and header problems. Even my dad and
brother –in-law seemed
to face a few hurdles this
week.
It was typical, after
numerous
problems,
the combine was finally rolling. Oh wait, the
bulls are out. This is a
problem since the pasture is so close to Pratt
and they are yearling
bulls. Thankfully most
of them had put themselves in a small pasture
about a mile away. The
owner just let us keep
them there for the eve- stead.

sure why because it was
pretty hot. Thankfully
it rained early Saturday
morning so it was only
a humid 85 degrees instead of 100. I have always wanted to go to this
show but it is during the
middle of wheat harvest
and our husbands cannot
attend. Things went fine.
We loaded up early and
headed out. The rain

Fathers today — Balancing work and family
Starla Ivey, PhD,
Assistant
Teaching
Professor, University of
Missouri
As a father, active involvement in your family contributes greatly
to its strength and stability, as well as to your
children’s achievement
and behavior. But juggling the demands of
maintaining a busy job
and spending quality
time with family can be
a challenge.
Recent research has
looked at the expanded
roles of fathers in the
home and shows a new
kind of father emerging
— a more involved one
whose responsibilities
reach further than his
career. Research suggests fathers are spending more time with their
children than they have
in the past and that the
increased involvement
is more interactive
(playtime and homework) than custodial
(cleaning and feeding).
Many fathers say
they rank spending
time with their kids
above money, personal status or power.
Other dads say they
would take a pay cut if
it meant having more
time to spend with their
children. But some fathers worry that prioritizing family over work
could have a negative
effect on their careers
or hurt their chances
for advancement.
Employers are beginning to address fathers’
needs. Flexible work
schedules and compressed work weeks
allow fathers to meet
work demands while
maintaining
quality
family time. Some companies even offer paternity leave, which gives
fathers time to bond
with newborn children.
If paternity leave
is unavailable or your
children are older, there
are still things you can
do to stay connected
with your family. Remember, it is quality of
time rather than quantity of time that makes
a difference.
• Limit work on
weekends, vacations
and holidays.
Avoid
answering
your phone or checking your email while at
home to have more time
with your children. Tell
co-workers you will not
be available during that
time, but you will get
back to them as soon as
you return to work.
• If you travel often,
keep your children informed and involved.
When you have to go
away, leave notes, recorded messages or videos of yourself reading
a favorite bedtime story for your child. Talk
to your children over
the phone while you’re
away and you may even
have the option for video chats over the phone
or computer. Discuss
the trip with your children when you return,
showing pictures and
telling stories to help
them feel included.
• Consider asking for
a more flexible working
arrangement.
It never hurts to ask.
Try working longer
days in order to have
one day off per week,
working through lunch
in order to leave earlier or doing computer
work from home. If you
create a more flexible
schedule, be careful to
not let work spill over
into all of your family
time. Be sure to take
time for yourself each
day, too.
• Participate in
school or extracurricular activities.
If your child’s school
allows it, eat lunch with
your child during your
lunch hour. Arrange
your schedule so that
you can attend your
child’s special events
(like an awards ceremony). If your employer
encourages volunteerism, spend time volunteering at your child’s
school.
• Promote a family-friendly workplace.
If you are an employer, work with employees to arrange flexible
work
arrangements,
time off for fathers and
help with child care arrangements. If you are
an employee, hang your
child’s art in your work
area, bring your child
to work when allowed,
and work with others to
arrange flexible work
arrangements.
• Create “family
prime time.”
At the beginning of
every month, schedule
family time and put it
on the calendar. Get
input from all family members about fun
activities and vacation
ideas. Spend whatever
time you have together,
even if it is just a few
minutes, to read a story
or talk about your day.

Yearend Kansas Champions Qualify
For National Finals High School Rodeo
Dedicated Love For
Riding Broncs Makes
All-Around
High
School Champion Cowboy
By Frank J. Buchman
“All I’ve ever wanted
to be is a cowboy.”
Already, Jesse Pope,
17, has proven to be
one of the best.
He was crowned allaround cowboy at the
recent Kansas High
School Rodeo Finals in
Topeka.
The Waverly High
School student was
again state high school
year-end champion in
both bareback bronc
riding and saddle bronc
riding.
That gives him opportunity for return
competition at the National High School Finals Rodeo, this year
July 17-23, in Gillette,
Wyoming.
Never shortage of entries in high school rodeo timed events, and
bull riding, few teenage
cowboys get adrenalin
thrill from bucking
horses.
“Oh, I rope, and have
ridden bulls, but I love
to ride broncs,” Pope
insisted.
Oldest of three cowboy sons of Bret and
Jennifer Pope of Garnett, the now five-footten, 160-pound Pope
started at an early age.
“Cowboys have always been my heroes,
especially rodeos and
professional bull rid-
ing,” reflected Pope,
who’ll be a senior this
fall.
“I went to George
Steinberger’s Homestead Rodeo School
in Richmond when I
was in the first grade,
rode the bucking machine and got on some
calves,” Pope remembered.
“I started going to
Christian Youth Rodeo
Association events riding calves, and competed in the Kellyville
(Oklahoma) Junior Bull
Riders Winter Series,”
the cowboy continued.
He became especially enchanted with miniature bareback riding.
“I went to a bareback
riding school and then
competed in bareback
pony riding as well
as steer riding,” said
Pope.
As a sixth grader,
Pope qualified for the
National Junior High
School Rodeo Finals in
junior bull riding, and
marked 86 points on
his first draw, finishing
reserve national champion at just 12-yearsold.
“I began riding bigger bucking horses and
a few bulls, but decided to concentrate on the
broncs when I started
high school,” he said.
Championship form
earned Pope the high
school bareback bronc
riding title, while being
third in saddle bronc
riding as a freshman. “I
was honored as Rookie
June 22, 2016
on big horses.”
In competition, Pope said,
“There are a few broncs that I
haven’t made the whistle on, but
I sure get scored on 90 percent
or more.
“I marked 87 points on a
bareback horse one time at Kansas City, and my best saddle
bronc ride has been 85 points,”
Pope said.
“I work out every day,” Pope
declared. “I don’t want to get too
much bulk, so I concentrate on
cardiac workouts, low weight,
high repetition, and run a bunch.
“I do wish I was a little shorter, but there’s nothing I can do
about that. Just be physically fit
as possible,” he said.
A spurring practice board is
in the Anderson County ranch
home basement. “I work out on
it every day, a muscle, memory
deal,” Pope verified.
His brothers Judd and Ty are
following in big brother’s boot
steps. “Ty is going to the junior high rodeo finals in saddle
bronc and bull riding, and Judd
competes on bareback ponies
of the Year, too,” he noted. The
past two years, Pope has dominated both bucking horse events
reigning as state champion.
“I compete in other junior rodeos as well as the United Rodeo Association and additional
rodeo circuits,” Pope said.
“I did play football, basketball
and track as a sophomore, but
that was just too much to rodeo
successfully,” he contended.
Concentration is focused on
the sport of rodeo. “I get on
about 100 bucking horses a
year,” Pope tabulated. “I mount
as many practice horses as I
can, as well riding the bucking
machine.
“I get so much assistance
from George Steinberger and the
other cowboys,” Pope credited.
“I really appreciate everybody’s
advice, especially my parents.
“Dad never competed in rodeos, but he’s always had cattle
and horses. Dad’s a big help,”
Pope said. “We used to take ponies out in the yard, and put a
rigging on them to practice my
mark outs. We still do that now
and calves,” Pope said.
“I’m proud of my brothers.
They have great work ethic and
dedication. Nothing is handed
out, you have to earn it,” he added.
Looking to this year’s National High School Rodeo Finals,
Pope said, “My freshman year,
I finished sixth in the bareback
riding. Last year, I fouled my
horse and didn’t get a re-ride, so
I missed the top ten.
“That’s the way rodeo goes,
somedays a diamond, somedays
a stone. I’m sure looking forward
to a great finals this time,” Pope
added.
Uncertain his direction after
high school, Pope has had several colleges solicit him to be on
their rodeo teams. “I’ll have to
decide, but I sure plan to make
the college finals” he assured.
Evaluating economic status of
rodeo, Pope said, “I don’t have a
shortage of money now. I think
rodeo’s a great profession. I intend to make the National Finals
Rodeo in Las Vegas.”

Kansas net farm income plummets, weighed down by falling grain and livestock prices
MANHATTAN, Kan. –
Average net farm income
in Kansas plummeted to
$4,568 in 2015 or less
than 5 percent of the
previous year’s average
of $128,731, according
to annual Kansas Farm
Management Association
member data. The 2015
level was the lowest average level of nominal net
farm income since 1985.
The average net farm
income – recorded on an
accrual basis – had been
slipping, but until 2015
had been over $120,000
for several years. In 2015,
however, the drop was
more akin to falling off a
cliff. Average net farm income across the state was
$159,352 in 2012 before dipping to $140,356
in 2013 and $128,731
in 2014 before falling
to $4,568 in 2015. Net
farm income represents
the amount a farm has
available to use for debt
repayment, family living
and expansion.
Across all farms, the
gross crop value per acre
in 2015 was $315.92,
down from $339.36 in
2014, $407.27 in 2013
and $421.44 in 2012.
Generally, across the
state, farms that primarily focused on dairy
production, cow herds
and irrigated crop farms
fared better than dryland
farming, livestock backgrounding and farms that
both grew crops and had
livestock backgrounding
operations, said Kevin
Herbel, KFMA program
administrator.
U.S. beef cattle prices
dropped from an average
$166 per hundredweight
(cwt) in January 2015 to
$132 by January 2016 –
the largest one-year drop
on record, according to
the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Economic
Research Service.
“As we come out of
a period of strong profitability in the agriculture sector and enter
this current downturn, it
is important for producers and their advisors to
know and understand the
financial position and financial performance on
each operation,” said
Herbel, noting that not
all Kansas farmers are
KFMA members, but
the annual report can be
viewed as a reflection of
financial conditions for
farmers across the state,
especially when comparing one year to the next.
The data presented in the
2015 analysis came from
1,159 KFMA member
farms and ranches.
Regional differences
In 2015, southwest
Kansas farms fared better than in other areas of
the state, with net farm
income of $37,423. North
central Kansas farms averaged $11,452, southeast, $15,119 and northwest farms averaged a
loss of $2,972. South central farms averaged a loss

said Doug Stucky, southwest area KFMA extension agricultural economist, based in Dodge City.
“We had over 100 bushel
(per acre) milo yield average. Some people had
never had the yields they
had last year in milo.
Hopefully we’ll top that
this year. With the subsoil moisture we’ve had,
it’s possible.”
Lower commodity prices weighed on agriculture
in northeast Kansas, said
KFMA economist Clay
Simons, based in Council Grove. “Irrigated corn
averaged 213 bushels
per acre compared with
only 177 bushels the year
before. We had better
production but could not
convert that to cash.”
Simons said marketing
fell short in some cases,
noting that some growers are still storing 2015
wheat.
He noted that producers had grown accustomed to much higher
crop prices in recent past
years and in turn had
spent money, particularly
on equipment. Now that
grain and cattle prices
have dropped sharply,
it’s hard to scale back expenses accordingly.
“Our ability to double
crop really helped,” said
Abilene-based
KFMA
economist Bob Kohman
of north central Kansas
farms. “We had excellent
crops but the cattle side
really hurt us (in 2015).
Now we’re looking at
ways to manage our working capital.”
Debt levels increased
by $30,550 per farm with
59 percent of the increase
in current debt and 41
percent in intermediate
and long-term debt. With
the change, the debt-toasset level increased to
21.5 percent from 20.2
percent for the average farm during 2015.
“While profitability was
low in 2015, this still represents a strong balance
sheet at the end of the
year,” according to the
KFMA report. With that
said, in this environment
“we will probably see
some restructured debt,”
said Mark Wood, KFMA
economist for northwest
Kansas, based in Colby.
One result of the lower
grain and livestock prices
and subsequent drop in
net farm income is that
machinery
purchases
have slowed, the economists said. Also, total
family living expenses for
KFMA member farms in
2015 averaged $69,956,
down from $74,447 in
2014.
Managing in this environment
“We’re still facing (in
2016) lower grain prices
– maybe for some time,”
Herbel said, noting that
in times like this, producers should identify
their cost advantages. In
other words, identify the
enterprises on their farms
that have the most ability
to deal with current com-
modity prices.
Crop rotation choices,
knowing costs and particularly where a producer
can have a cost advantage
are of primary importance
right now and for the
months ahead, the economists said.
“In situations like this,
it’s important to not sit
back and see what’s going
to happen,” Herbel added.
“Now’s the time to manage
your current financial position, manage your cost
structure and look at using
your resources, including
labor and equipment, as
efficiently as possible.”
“Identify areas where
you can improve as well
as areas of strength you
can build on through this
time of difficulty in agriculture,” he said.

Huh?
In the May 30 edition of the Auction
Exchange there was
an ad celebrating the
Midwest
Auctioneer
Roundup contest in
Shipshewana, Indiana.
There were pictures of
the winners, contestants and one precious
little three or four year
old girl with her hands
covering her ears.
My sentiments exactly!
I’ve spent my adult
life around auctions
and I loved every minute, but I’m paying the
price now. As a youngster I could hear a bug
walking across the
kitchen floor but I’m
losing my hearing now
and I know why. It was
having my head right
next to speakers for 43
years. I knew it would
happen but what could
I do? Auctions put food
on our table.
My wife noticed it
before I did. She’d say
something and I’d reply, “Not today, maybe
next week.”
And then she’d yell,
“I asked you if you fed
the dog.”
So now my standard
reply to everything she
says is, Huh?”
I suppose I need a
hearing aid but I hear
good ones can cost a
couple grand and I’d
June 22, 2016
Riding Hard
By Lee Pitts
rather be deaf than to
spend that much money on something I can
easily do without. Every time my wife says
I need a hearing aid I
reply, “When someone
says something to me
that’s worth two thousand dollars then I’ll
get one. Until then I’ll
just use this antique
ear trumpet I inherited
from my great-grandpa.” (For you youngsters, an ear trumpet
is a device with a big
round end that people
talk into and at the other end is a narrow tube
the
hard-of-hearing
person puts in his ear.
I find mine works quite
well.)
Maxine, of Hallmark Card fame, spoke
for me when she said,
“Never wear a hearing
aid because if you do
people expect you to
listen to them.”
I’ve worked with
a lot of different auctioneers in my life and
I’ve noticed that the
younger they are the
higher they turn up the
volume. I would just
remind beginning auc-
tioneers that the clock
that ticks the loudest
doesn’t always keep the
best time.
Purebred auctioneers are notorious for
turning up the volume,
much more so than
market
auctioneers.
I worked with one in
particular who was so
noisy he sounded like
a Duroc trying to pass a
gall stone. Or a pen full
of calves the day after
seeing their mommas
for the last time. I could
have made a living following him around selling ear plugs to those
on the seats.
Speaking of ear
plugs, you’d think an
auctioneer would catch
on to the subtle signs
that he’s too loud such
as folks plugging their
ears with cotton, light
bulbs breaking overhead, folks covering
their ears like that little
girl in Indiana, and cattle trying to jump on the
auction block to shut
the loud mouth up. I recall one auction I tried
to give a subtle hint
by wearing a Scotch
cap with the ear muffs
pulled down tight over
my ears like they wear
in the Dakotas in winter. But when I wore it
was the middle of summer in Scottsdale. The
auctioneer still didn’t
get it.
Working ring you are
more sensitive because
people in the crowd
complain and beg you
to turn down the volume, but I learned right
away you don’t mess
with an auctioneer’s
amplifier.
The volume is really
noticeable to auction
newbies. In all the years
of flying on commercial
airplanes I rarely talked
to a fellow passenger.
I went so far as to put
on the cheap headset
they give you like I was
listening to music so I
wouldn’t have to talk,
even though it wasn’t
plugged in. But one
time I met a nice businessman who asked
where I was headed.
I told him I was going
to Reno for a video cattle auction because I
was the announcer. He
was going to stay in the
same hotel so I invited
him to drop by for a free
lunch and to watch the
auction. Much to my
surprise he did. I took
a rare break to welcome
him and explain how it
all worked. After one
lot I explained that we
had just sold four loads
of cattle to a buyer participating in the auction all the way back in
Nebraska.
He replied, “And
I bet he heard every
word.”

*Entrapment generally occurs when a
worker enters a bin to
dislodge large portions
of grain kernels that
have stuck together,
preventing them from
being extracted by bin
machinery. Whether
entrapment occurs from
the collapse of vertical
grain walls or bridged
grain (grain kernels
stuck together to form
a deceptively treacherous crusted ceiling), or
entrapment in flowing
grain, these are critical
situations where time
is limited, locating victims is often difficult,
and rescue is treacherous.

coming to Tonganoxie.
“The U.S. Bureau
of Land Management
(BLM) will have a wild
horse and burro adoption at the Leavenworth
County Fairgrounds in
June 24-25,” according
to Crystal Cowan at the
BLM office in Oklahoma City.
“These are adult and
yearling horses and burros that once roamed
free on public lands
in the West,” she said.
“The BLM periodically
removes excess animals
from the range in order to maintain healthy
herds and to protect oth-
er rangeland resources.
“The adoption program is essential for
achieving these important management goals,”
Cowan emphasized.
“Wild horses and
burros are iconic symbols of America’s western heritage, and are
renowned for their
strength,
endurance,
agility and intelligence,
characteristics
bred
into them in the wild
that make them ideal
for work or recreation,”
Cowan said.
“Since 1973, the
BLM has placed more
than 230,000 of these
‘living legends’ in approved homes across
the country,” Cowan
pointed out.
Attendance is free
and open to the public,
but application approval is required and can
be done on site with
adoptions
scheduled
from noon, to 6 p.m.,
on Friday, the 24th, and
from 8 to 10 o’clock,
Saturday morning.
To qualify to adopt,
one must be at least 18,
with no record of animal
abuse. Adopters must
have a minimum of 400
square feet of corral
space per animal, with
free access to food, water and shelter.
A six-foot corral fence
is required for adult
horses, five feet for
yearlings, and four-and-
June 22, 2016
a-half feet for burros.
“All animals must be
loaded in covered stocktype trailers with swing
gates and sturdy walls
and floors,” Cowan said.
“ BLM staff will be on
hand to assist adopters
through the short application process.”
All animals will be
offered on a first-come,
first-served basis for the
minimum adoption fee
of $125, which is set by
law.
“However, BLM pays
a one-time $500 careand-feeding allowance
to adopters of horses at
least four years old,”
Cowan said.
The allowance is paid
in full after one year
when adopters receive
official ownership title
for their horse(s). All
standard adoption conditions and fees still
apply.
“A limited number of
eligible horses will be
available, while younger horses, burros and
trained animals are not
eligible for this incentive,” Cowan said.
“This incentive is designed to find homes for
older horses that might
otherwise be destined
for long-term pastures,
where they’d live out
the remainder of their
natural lives at taxpayer
expense,” Cowan explained.
Information is available at 866-468-7826.

MORE THAN AN OPTION
Read Proverbs 3:1-8 View the May-June, 2016 Issue
In all your ways acknowledge [the Lord], and he will make straight your
paths. - Proverbs 3:6 (NRSV)
I was walking my dog in our neighborhood on a beautiful spring evening.
Along the way, I observed a grandfather who was on an outing with his two
small granddaughters. When they neared the road, the grandfather told his
younger granddaughter, who had run ahead, “Don’t cross the street until I
can get there to watch for cars!” The little girl proceeded to cross the street
without looking right or left. No cars were coming, so she was safe; the grandfather smiled at me ruefully and said, “I guess every direction I give her is an
option.”
It occurred to me that we often treat God’s word in the same way. Rather than
listening to and living in God’s word, we charge ahead, confident that we can
make it on our own. When we run into difficulties, we realize that we need
scripture to help us cope with the dangers and pitfalls of life. Fortunately for
us, God loves us, forgives our lapses, and cares for us, even when we forget
and treat God’s word as optional.

of better or legitimate
excuse, sadly, we had
a “chip on our shoulder” that day.
The scowling, annoying, arrogant attitude showed through
plainly and remains
engraved for perpetuity in family photographs.
Still,
particularly important was the
graduation gift. At
least we consider it
that, although perhaps
timing coincidental. A
new two-horse tandem
trailer was purchased,
so we could go to horse
shows around the area.
That was second

happened, right after
getting our horse Spot
three years earlier. It’d
look odd today, but air

Interesting reflection about that teenage cowboy accomplishment. In four

caught our calf on

time. Clearly, competition wasn’t tough as
today.
Despite, three other school graduations,

I remember: Life continues…no matter what!
Here it is, almost
July. It does seem that
the more years I live,
the faster it keeps going. It also means because it takes me a
little longer to do some
of the regular things, I
don’t get as much physical work done as I used
to. Truthfully, the energy is also subsiding but
that’s all right, I’m in no
hurry. I will still keep
doing the things that
are important to me.
I love to attend the
Sunday morning service at the Medora Bible Church. Even if I’m
tired from the Saturday Farmer’s Market, I
come away feeling refreshed and anticipating another great week.
Certainly our pastor,
Ron Mandeville, certainly makes us appreciative of the long
hours he studies from
the Bible.
Many times at the
Saturday Farmer’s Market, I start out tired
but get energized as
the morning wears on.
During the morning we
meet many older peo-
By Doris
Schroeder
I Remember
ple who like us, recall
the good and patriotic
days of the last century. Many of us attended
the one room country
schools of that era and
realized the love of God
and His place in our
world. A time when life
was real and earnest…
and we did not have a
lot of modern conveniences so we depended on the one true God
to get us through. Our
joy came, not from expensive toys and gadgets, but being able to
get through them with
the help of One who has
all power.
This last Saturday at
the Market, it was fascinating to see young

children between 5
months and a year, staring at all of us through
big eyes of wonderment, trying to figure
out the complexities
of living in their world
of today. If they live as
long as we have, what
will they find this world
to be like? I wonder.
A friend of mine,
Maxine, has a booth on
the other side of ours.
It really makes the
morning go fast, as we
get to visit in between
and share many of life’s
happenings along the
way. Many times when
you are not really noticing it, you are helping
someone along the way
when you share how
God is helping you in
different situations. We
can rejoice knowing
someone else is experiencing God’s help.
Towards the end
of our market on Saturday, a very sweet,
loving Christian lady
came by our booth and
encouraged us with her
words. It makes one realize how that we can
help those we come in
contact with by encouraging each other.
Life has been full of
complexities and different-sized problems
and it’s probably due to
all the things that are
happening. We had a
problem from time to
time with our phone
and computer line and
it did cause me some
anxious moments. We
do think we got it taken care of now and that
will be so pleasant to be
able to work on it when
I have time.
As you are reading
this column today, we
will be welcoming our
son John David and
his wife Carol home for
their yearly visit. This
will also be the time
he will be speaking
at our Young at Heart
Ministries meeting at
the Delos Smith Center, 101 West First,
on Thursday, June 23,
from 10-11:15 a.m.. He
will be telling us about
his work as a chaplain
at the Pinellas County
Jail in Clearwater. Florida. I have heard some
of his experiences and
find it very fascinating when men accept
Christ when they are
in jail. I guess sometimes you have to come
to the end of your own
rope. Anyway, we hope
to see you there. If you
are over 55, you are
cordially invited. We
would love to meet all
of you. I know you will
enjoy it!

Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Wren
When John Q. Wren returns home after a winter
in Texas, he announces
his arrival with loud songs
from one end of the yard
to the other. He might as
well come up and ring the
door bell to tell us he is
back.
I can hardly wait each
year until John arrives
and begins to sing to declare that our yard and all
7 houses belong to him.
For the next 4 months the
yard will be alive with his
wonderful song.
When John arrives he
starts preparing the houses. He will have up to ten
nests ready for his partner
to look at. He packs the
house all the way to the
roof for insulation from
the heat. Inside the little house there will be a
small tunnel, or hallway,
from the door around
the side and then into
the nest. This keeps any
predator from grabbing a
baby from the nest.
We decided one year
to see what he would do
if we didn’t clean out the
houses in the fall. He
moved right in the next
year and seemed to enjoy the fact that he didn’t
have to start all over. He
By Sandra Pugh
would go in and take a few
sticks out and throw them
on the ground below the
house and then put some
new ones in and tidy it up.
So we never touch them
anymore.
When Priscilla arrives
a week later he has all 7
houses and three nests
ready for her inspection.
He proudly sits in front of
each house and sings to
announce that the house
is ready for inspection.
One year we had a
house hung in the old
cotton wood tree just 10
feet from the beauty salon
window, so I could watch
the whole courtship. He
sat on a limb directly in
front of the door to the
house and sang until she
came to see it.
She checked the out-

side of the house by
hopping all over the roof
and then checked out the
front porch. She sat on
the perch for awhile and
looked around the tree.
John continued to sing to
her.
Finally she decided to
go inside and inspect the
interior. She was in there
for only a minute. When
she came out of the little
house, she flew straight
into John knocking him
off the limb and then disappeared from the scene.
John started to work on
the little house again. He
spent 30 minutes getting
it redesigned. Once it was
ready he began to sing on
that same little limb in
front of the house.
After a few minutes
Priscilla came back and
went into the house. She
stayed only a minute and
when she came out this
time she went directly to
the ground. She picked
up a little twig and went
back into the house; she
had decided to move in.
John began to sing in earnest now and sat on that
little limb singing as Priscilla finished decorating
the little house.
In a couple of days
Priscilla began to sit on
eggs and John would
come with little tidbits for
her to eat, then would serenade her while she sat
on the nest. If it was warm
enough in the middle of
the day, she would leave
the eggs for a little while
and get something to eat
but quickly returned to
the nest.



Fourteen days after she
laid the eggs the activity
around the little house increased. The babies had
hatched and the work began in earnest. John and
Priscilla were tireless in
feeding the babies in the
nest. They started with
little white bugs that were
so small they were barely
visible in their mouths.
As the young grew the
size of the bugs also grew.
Ten days after hatching, the young began to
look out the door. You
could see three to four
little beaks behind the
opening, but it was impossible to tell just how
many were actually in
there. The book on birds
said they will have anywhere from 6-9 young
each time, so I was anxious to see just how many
would come out of the
house in about 4 days.
On the 12th and 13th
day the little ones began
to stretch their necks out
of the hole to get a look at
the big world they would
be a part of all too soon.
The pushing and shoving
continued until a different face would show up
in the opening. They were
getting large enough now
that only one little head
would fit in the opening.
On day fourteen, after hatching they would
take the leap of faith and
leave the little house.
Priscilla and John would
not feed them that day in
the house. They both sat
in the tree near the house
encouraging them to take
the leap, all the while
holding a bug in their
mouths. When a baby
would finally fly to one
Page 15
of the parents, they were
promptly fed.
As the morning progressed, eight little brave
souls made the leap of
faith and left the only
world they had known.
But there was still one little guy left in the house.
Four times he leaned way
out and I thought he was
going to jump, but he
would go back in. Around
noon he was standing in
the door, and I knew he
was going to make the
leap, so I took a few minutes to stand at the window and watch.
When he finally got
brave and jumped a gust
of wind caught him and
tossed him on top of the
little house. He began to
holler for his parents, but
they just watched him.
He finally worked his way
back to the front of the
house and when he saw
the perch in front of the
door, he jumped down on
it. It only took a second
for him to decide he wanted to go back inside.
The amazing thing is,
once they make the leap,
they never go back into
the house; they are out in
the big world until they
come back the next year
to build their own houses. Not the little clown,
he wanted nothing to do
with the world outside.
He stayed in the house
for another hour before he
tried it again. This time
he made it to his parents
and was rewarded with
his lunch.
In a few days after this
little family was on their
own in the yard, Priscilla
was sitting on eggs in a
different house. She and
John raised three families
that year. Sometimes it is
only two, but she arrived
in time to do three before
they had to head south for
the winter.
Each time she used a
different house and John
had to go through the
same inspection. While
she was sitting John was
in charge of the young
and taught them the ways
of the world.
While she is hatching
the third family, John always leaves with the first
two broods, and heads
back to Texas. This means
he leaves the first of August instead of late August, and we really miss
his song in the yard.
John and Priscilla or
their grandchildren have
come back to the yard
year after year, and move
into the houses we leave
up for them. Some years
we might even have two
families who split the yard
up and share the homes.
Maybe it is a father and
son that decide they can
share the homes that are
available. We like to think
they are the same family
just passing them down.
There will be another story about John and Priscilla in the next few weeks.
John Q. Wren is always
welcome in our yard and
the song he brings is always a cheerful reminder
that spring is finally here.

From the U.S. House Appropriations Committee
Appropriations
Committee Adopts Yoder
Amendment to Prevent
Listing of Lesser Prairie
Chicken as Threatened
Washington, D.C.
–
This
afternoon,
the
House
Appropriations
Committee
voted
to
add
Representative
Kevin Yoder’s (R-KS)
amendment to prevent the
listing of the Lesser Prairie
Chicken as a “threatened”
or “endangered” species
to the 2017 Interior
and
Environment
Appropriations Act.
In March 2014, the
United States Fish and
Wildlife Services (FWS)
listed the Lesser Prairie
Chicken as a threatened
species, citing the bird’s
population decline. With
approximately half of the
Lesser Prairie Chicken
population residing in
Kansas, the listing had
led to the disruption of
oil and gas exploration,
abandonment of wind
energy projects, and
increased costs to Kansas
farmers and ranchers.
In September 2015,
in part after the efforts
of Representative Yoder
during
consideration
of last year’s Interior
Appropriations Bill, the
listing was vacated by
the U.S. District Court
for the Western District
of Texas. Last month, the
Department of Justice
announced it had dropped
its appeal of the court’s
ruling, effectively halting
the
Administration’s
efforts on the issue.
“As I said when the
Justice
Department
announced
it
was
dropping its appeal, I
remain skeptical that
was the end of the road,”
Yoder said. “The Lesser
Prairie Chicken’s listing
as a threatened species
stunted economic growth
in Kansas for little to no
benefit. It was a misguided
effort to save a bird that
already saw its population
increase over the last few
years due to local efforts.
My amendment today
simply maintains the new
status quo, preventing
the Administration from
reopening its efforts and
protecting farmers and
ranchers from unwanted
government overreach.”

not an option on your vehicle. First, fill
up your vehicle’s fuel tank completely
and write down the odometer reading
(e.g., 58,400 miles and 12 gallons to fill
up the tank).
2. When you have to fill the tank
again, write down the number of gallons
it took to fill the tank. Once you fill it
up, write down the odometer reading
(e.g., 58,764 miles).
3. After you take the second odometer reading and subtract the first odometer reading, this will calculate the total miles you drove on the fill-up (e.g.,
58,764 – 58,400 = 364 miles driven on
that tank of fuel).
4. Next, divide the number of miles
you drove (e.g., 364) by the number of
gallons it took you to fill up your tank
(e.g., 12 gallons) (e.g., 364 miles ÷ 12
gallons = 30.3 miles per gallon).

5. With this information, you can
now calculate your miles per dollar.
Take your vehicle’s miles per gallon
from above (e.g., 30.3 miles per gallon)
and divide it by the current price of gas
(e.g., 30.3 miles per gallon ÷ $2.34 per
gallon = 12.95 miles per dollar).
6. Last, you can also calculate the
cost per mile to drive. Take the current
price of fuel and divide it by your vehicle’s miles per gallon (e.g., $2.34 per
gallon ÷ 30.3 miles per gallon = $0.77
or 8 cents per mile).
By knowing exactly how much it costs
you to drive your vehicle, you can plan
trips accordingly.

WAFWA Kansas Land Acquisition Protects Lesser Prairie Chicken Habitat
The Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA) has finalized the
purchase of approximately 30,000 acres
of high-quality lesser
prairie chicken habitat
in southwest Kansas.
The permanent protection and long-term conservation of lesser prairie-chicken habitat is
an important goal of the
Lesser Prairie-Chicken
Range-wide Conservation Plan. Funding for
this acquisition comes
from the voluntary contributions of industry
partners that are enrolled in the range-wide
plan.
“The acquisition of
Sunview Ranch is a significant positive development to conserve the
lesser prairie chicken,”
said Alexa Sandoval, director of the New Mexico Department of Game
and Fish and chairman
of the Lesser Prairie Chicken Initiative
Council. “This transaction involved a willing seller of land that
contains prime lesser
prairie chicken habitat
and furthers our goal of
providing a stronghold
of at least 25,000 acres
in each of the ecoregions where the lesser
prairie chicken is still
found. We commend all
of our partners for their
continued commitment
to conservation of the
lesser prairie chicken.”
The range-wide plan
is a collaborative effort
of WAFWA and the
state wildlife agencies
of Kansas, Colorado,
New Mexico, Oklahoma
and Texas. It was developed to ensure conservation of the lesser
prairie chicken through
voluntary cooperation
by landowners and industry. The plan allows
agriculture producers
and industry to continue operations while reducing impacts to the
bird and its grassland
habitat.
The Sunview Ranch
(formerly Tate Ranch)
is in the sand sagebrush
ecoregion, which covers portions of Kansas,
Colorado and Oklahoma and once contained
the highest density of
lesser prairie chickens in the country. The
dominant vegetation on
rangelands in the region is sand sagebrush,
which is a native shrub
typically
associated
with deep sandy soils
in dune landscapes.
Livestock grazing is
the primary land use
on rangeland throughout the sand sagebrush
region, and through
grazing leases, it will
continue to be used as
a management tool on
the Sunview Ranch.
“This property is one
of the largest remaining contiguous tracts of
sand sagebrush prairie
in the region,” said Jim
Pitman, Conservation
Delivery Director for
WAFWA. “Conserving
this property in perpetuity ensures that it will
remain a working ranch
and continue to provide
habitat for the lesser prairie chicken in
the portion of its range
where the population
has declined the most.”

Laugh Tracks in the Dust: Milo’s Free Kitten Store
“Milo’s Free Kitten
Store. Urgent inventory
closeout underway. Nice
selection to choose from.
Two yellow with white
points. Two tiger-striped
with
white
points.
One gray with faint tiger-striping. Extended
business hours until inventory is gone.”
I never in my life
thought I’d have to write
the above, but the Feline Gods have hexed
Damphewmore
Acres
with a bountiful, unwanted litter of five kittens.
Imagine my surprise a
few days ago when I saw
a cute little yellow kitten staring at me from a
hole beneath my brooder
house — which is right
next to my dog kennels.
Milo Yield
I’ve told about the
unfathomable
“friend
affair” my new Brittany
pup recently struck up
with a feral cat. Well, it
turns out that the feral
cat has five cute, furry reasons for hanging
around the dog kennels
and eating free dog food.
I have one problem.
The mother cat is wild
as a March hare. And, if
I don’t figger out a way
to catch the five kittens soon and find them
homes, the kittens will
be as wild and carefree
as their mother. I imagine I’ll have to resort
to using a live trap to
catch the kittens.
I will say this about
kittens. They are cute
when they are little —
wrestling with each other
and climbing anything
they can get their claws
into. The only problem
with kittens is that they
all grow up to be adult
cats.
So, the offer is open.
Come catch yourself a
free kitten.

My wise ol’ pappy,
Czar E. Yield, always
said eastern Kansans
are never more than
two weeks away from
a drought in summer.
This year is proving his
wisdom. Two weeks ago
when Nevah and I returned home from Tennessee, Chase county
was a loblolly.
Well, we haven’t had a
significant drop of rainfall since and the ground
at Damphewmore Acres
is now cracked wide open
thirsting for a drink. I’ve
spent most of this week
both weeding and watering my gardens. Plus, the
temperatures are in the
upper 90s and the humidity is simply wilting.
And, it’s not real summer
yet.
However, one good
thing is the harvest of
garden peas wuz plentiful this year and we’ve
been enjoying meals that
include creamed new
peas and potatoes. Yum!

The “70-something”
annual Strong City Rodeo was a big success

youth, Tex worked for the
Roberts family in Strong
City — the founders of
the rodeo. He faithfully
returned for the rodeo
every year to renew old
acquaintances.
But this year Tex’s
“cowboying” ways got
him laid up so bad he
couldn’t make the rodeo
trip. Our mutual friend,
Jay Esse, said Tex, who
ain’t no spring chicken,
got injured working with
a couple of his horses. I
don’t know how it happened, but Jay sez Tex
is laid up with a broken
foot, some broken ribs,
and a concussion.
We missed Tex at the
rodeo and hope he returns to good health and
can attend the rodeo next
year.
Hoping to brighten
Tex’s day, our mutual
friend Jay penned this
poem about Tex’s accident:
I visited Tex in the
hospital today.
He doesn’t like being
there very much.
Tex tangled with a couple of his horses,
And they treated him
pretty rough.
His body is getting
slower and older,
But in his mind he
must think he’s 22.
Thinking like that gets
old men in trouble,
When we try to do
things we used to do.
Tex’s dog wuz barking
like crazy and going wild.
His missus ran to the
window to see what was
wrong.
Angels must have been
watching over Tex
Because the dog knew
something wasn’t right
When he saw Tex lying
on the ground.
I’ve known Tex for 50
years or more.
He’s always been a guy
who’s “cowboy tough.”
So, I know he’ll be
healed up quickly,
And be out riding horses again soon enough.
***
I just about ended a
new Bambi’s life almost
before it got started. I
wuz driving home from
Cottonwood Falls when
a doe jumped into the
road ahead of me and a
wobbly-legged, new-born
fawn followed her. The
fawn couldn’t have been
more than an hour old. I
almost didn’t get stopped
in time. But I’m glad I
did.
***
Idea for the week:
Someone come up with
a chigger repellant that
works.
I need it badly. Get
your wheat harvest safely done and I hope it’s a
good ‘un. It wouldn’t hurt
anything for the price to
go up, too.

Roger's view from the hills: Harvest Madness
"I FEEL BLESSED
TO HAVE HAD SUCHA BACKGROUND,
WHERE ANIMALSFOOD RAISING, AND
CANNING WERE A
NATURAL PART OF
LIFE."
Trina Paulas
As I write this, the
first combines are cutting wheat along the
Kansas and Oklahoma
border. Normally this
time of year I have to
fight the crazy urge to
buy or find a combine
and plunge headlong
into a season that I grew
up with. For a large part
of my life, regardless of
what I was doing at the
time for a living, I never
thought I would not be
on a tractor or combine
for the rest of my life.
My how times change.
I wrote a poem once
about a good friend of
mine that we called 'Big
Daddy' as he labored to
get up into his combine
for his last harvest. I
watched the pain and
struggle both physically
and emotionally as he
knew he would never
see this piece of land

a combine or tractor.
Now as I would be doing
the same thing trying to
climb into a machine, it
would be the same. But
now the machines are
even bigger and more
complicated.
It is a long way from
the 403 International
combine I ran for years
or my uncle’s 95 and
4400 John Deere. I
made my way over to a
friend’s farm last year to
get pictures of his new
Case/IH combine with
a 45 foot header. Yes
a long ways from my
18 footer I used to run.
Now they are using 60
foot headers on some
machines.

“Hands-on” Angling Is Hands Down Good Time
It takes a strong
grip, steady nerve and
a high level of moxie
to partake in the Kansas handfishing season. For anglers possessing all three, the
handfishing
season
for flathead catfish,
June 15 through August 31, is a sure-fire
way to have a good
time.
Handfishing is allowed only on the
Arkansas River; the
Kansas River, from
its origin to the downstream
confluence
with the Missouri
River; and all federal
reservoirs, from 150
yards beyond the dam
to the upstream end
of federal property.
In addition to a fishing license, unless
exempt,
handfishers must also have a
$27.50 handfishing
permit. Handfishers
may not use hooks,
snorkeling or scuba gear, or any manmade device except
a stringer. Man-made
objects, such as barrels or tubs, may not
be used to attract fish.
If you haven’t tried
it yet, handfishing
involves
searching
for the underwater
lairs of flathead catfish, which can weigh
more than 50 pounds,
by diving and feeling along undercut
banks or other recesses. Once a fish is
felt, the angler then
tries to work a hand
in its mouth and grip
the fish’s lower jaw to
bring it to the surface,
hence the need for
nerve and moxie.
The daily creel
limit for flathead catfish is five. For more
information
about
handfishing and other
types of fishing, consult the 2016 Kansas
Fishing Regulations
Summary, available
wherever
licenses
are sold and at www.
ksoutdoors.com.

rule.
District Courts, the
Court of Appeals and
the Supreme Court
have at one time or another ruled that legislators cannot discriminate against classes of
voters, deny equitable
funding for schools,
abolish all abortions, to
name a few. Legislators,
in turn, have threatened
to cut off the courts’
funding and, now, embrace a sordid plan to
paint Supreme Court
justices as “activists”
and “unpatriotic.”
The Republican majority of legislators have
led the state to near
bankruptcy, blessed the
corruptions now crippling government and
throttled nearly all public services as we once
knew them. Remember
those Republicans.
And then ask, Are we Liftgates - Anthony,

have provoked historic
budget deficits. In turn,
and to cover the resulting red ink, they have
cut off cities and counties, forcing local property tax increases; they
have summarily raided
state agencies of their
appropriations, stolen
their fee funds and even
their federal aid, forced
them to lay off thousands of valuable employees, including even
law enforcement. (In
a recent and pathetic
exercise in patronizing,
lawmakers approved a
skimpy increase in vehicle registration fees
so the Highway Patrol
could pay a few new
troopers- with no guarantee, of course, that
the Patrol will actually
get the money. )

ever woke up one day
that I didn’t enjoy going to work,” he says.
“Sure some days are
better than others but I
wouldn’t still be farming if I didn’t like it.”
There are three
things about his life on
the farm he cherishes
above all the rest: fine
fences, a good looking
field of wheat and seeing cattle grazing on
wheat pasture.
“I like five-wire
fences,” Sherer says.
“I’ve got a lot of ‘em.
They cost a lot of money, but I enjoy them. In
the long run, they’ve
saved me money.”
There’s something
magical for Sherer,
just driving down the
road looking at a solid
five-wire fence. To him
it’s neat, it’s clean and
well-built.
“And when others
drive by they think, 'It’s
going to be there for 50
years. He won’t have
to touch that fence
again.'”
As for a good looking
field of golden grain
waving in the Kansas
wind, there’s nothing
prettier, Sherer says.
Farmers sow the wheat,
watch it grow and turn
colors. From planting until harvest takes
approximately
nine
months.
“It’s like giving
birth,” he says. “It’s
beautiful.”
As for the cattle,
Sherer never tires of
seeing them grazing
in the open pasture. If
they’re gaining weight,
he’s happy.
Being an Angus
man, the cattle he likes
to see most are Angus.
He also likes quality
stock, in top shape and
well cared for.
“I probably overfeed
mine a bit,” Sherer
says. “But I don’t want
‘em thin.”
A good relationship
with the local veterinarian along with a
sound herd-health program is essential, he
says. It’s also important
to build strong relationships with others in the
community.
Talking about Steve
Goering who managed
the Mullinville elevator
for years, Sherer says,
“You couldn’t ask for a
better man and Steve is
a true friend.”
He believes the same
about local extension
agent, Barrett Smith.
“We all appreciate
seeing him around the
country,” Sherer says.
“He not only comes to
our farm, but I know
he visits other farms
and towns in the area.
I hear about it.”
For the Kiowa County farmer stockman
these are all “good”
things.
“You
appreciate
these people,” Sherer
says. “They are an essential part of our operations. They’re the
best.”

Kansas Summer Heat
Summer always brings fun and exciting events and many are gathering for outdoor activities. Although
these events and activities may be
enjoyable, they can also be harmful due to the heat. Excessive heat
warnings are typical for this time of
year. We should all be very aware of
the dangers the high temperatures
can trigger if we don’t take precautions. Drink plenty of water to keep
hydrated, stay in air-conditioned
buildings as much as possible,
check on friends and neighbors who
live alone and have others check
on you, try to avoid using the stove
or oven to cook, wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing and
don’t forget your sunscreen. Fans
should not be your primary source
of cooling in extreme heat. A cool
bath or shower can help if you are
feeling overheated. Staying tuned
to local news for weather, and safety
updates may help prepare for these
grueling temperatures. We should
closely monitor people who are dependent upon others for care such
as children, people aged 65 or older and people with chronic medical
conditions as they may be less likely to sense and respond to changes
in temperature. Outdoor workers
and athletes should also take more
precautions.
If you or someone
you know is experiencing muscle
cramps, headaches, nausea or vomiting as a result of heat, seek medical care immediately. Be smart and
have a safe, enjoyable summer.

Intermittent Irony: A whole new world
It seems that no matter
what your religious, not
to mention your political
leanings are, this world is
becoming an increasingly
and overwhelmingly frightening place to send our
children into. When I was
young the only words of advice my father imparted on
me when going by train to
the “big city” of New York
to see the King Tut exhibit
at the Museum of Modern
Art and some nightlife activities were to not carry a
handbag and keep my money pinned to the inside of
my bra. Pick pockets were
the biggest fear that seemed
realistically possible to my
Dad, as he sent his youngest daughter off. My mother’s addition rule was that I
was only allowed to stay at
the downtown YWCA dormitory. Her theory was that
Intermittent Irony
By Lisa Meitner
there was a man with a gun
at the front desk that only
allowed the females staying
there in the building to enter. My many weekends at
the Y prepared me for Boot
Camp with its lack of privacy, bunk beds and shared
bathrooms. To me, the biggest selling point was the
cost - $30 a night – which
left me lots more money to
eat and drink! I am pretty
sure that even though it was
the late 1970’s, most hotels
in Manhattan were twice
this price, if not more.
My years in the military
were eye opening as far as
security goes. My Top Secret classification brought
with it some insight into the
“cold war” theories of the
day. My mindset concerning the big bad Russians
was engrained on me in my
childhood school exercises. We had weekly nuclear bomb drills were we all
tucked ourselves under our
desk for a sure, safe way to
live through an impending
World War III.
Now, sadly, it has become second nature to assess our surroundings and
look at everyone through
a lens that muddies what
was once “being aware of

our surroundings” to profiling any single person as
a “lone wolf.” I was in a
Starbucks the other evening
finishing up some entries
on my phone when a nice,
clean cut man in his early
20’s entered the building.
I kept him in my peripheral view as he ordered his
drink and went to sit down.
He had a backpack that he
placed under the table when
he went to pick up his coffee. As he came back to the
table, in one fluid motion,
he placed his drink down
and began to push and work
with his backpack under the
table. I felt the hair on the
back of my neck tingling as
I thought he could have a
bomb – then I saw it. His
phone charger was giving
him trouble at the plug in
behind his feet. I realized
I was ready to charge this
poor young man because he
entered into my brains data
base as suspicious and, sad
to admit, fit into that middle eastern appearance that
last week, in particular, was
highly in front of me in every news channels coverage
of the horrific loss of life in
Orlando. I don’t want to be
someone that judges another
human being on their “profile.” This is going to be a
new experience, trying to
remember each individual
is someone’s son or daughter
and try as hard as possible
not to judge every book by
their cover.

roasting marshmallows
and listen to…ghost
stories!
No one really knows
when or how the tradition of telling scary
ghost stories around a
campfire began. It just
did, and we really like
to do it. In fact, there are
many books out there
that provide those with
less creative story telling talents to get a group
of outdoors enthusiasts
nervously shifting their
eyes and jumping at the
sound of what was certainly a twig being broken by the heavy foot of
a monstrous creature in
the night or, yes, even a
clumsy ghost.
There are many rea-
sons most of us, to some
degree, are afraid of the
dark especially while
outside. Some believe
it’s simply an evolved
trait that kept us from,
well, being eaten by the
above mentioned monstrous creature in the
night.
All I know is as a
creative writer myself,
I really looked forward
to trying out my story
telling skills around a
campfire. Sometimes my
spooky tales are really
creative like the ghost of
Isabella who haunted a
nearby meadow searching for her child who
wandered off and was
never seen again.
And, sometimes, my

Kansas Hay Market Report
Tonnage: 8,100/4,405
6,539/2,717
Last week: 9,977/4,652
Last year:
Hay trade activity slow. Demand light for dairy alfalfa, grinding
alfalfa, alfalfa pellets, and grass hay. Prices generally steady. This
past week was a busy week for all. Not as many hay sales reported
but the hot and fairly dry weather had farmers hustling. Everyone
was busy planting and spraying row crop fields and cutting, raking
and baling hay, which seems to be providing higher than average
yields. The NASS Kansas Crop Progress and Condition report for
the week ending June 12, 2016 states that the alfalfa hay condition
rated 1 pct Very Poor, 6 pct Poor, 31 pct Fair, 56 pct Good and 6
pct Excellent. First cutting is 92 pct complete, well ahead of last
years 51 pct, and second cutting is 4 percent complete. The winter
wheat harvest gained momentum in the south and 5 pct has been
harvested. If you have hay for sale, pasture to rent r need hay and/or
grazing, use the services of the Hay and Pasture Exchange:

Student-created mobile health app receives $50,000 grant
Mobile HealthLink, a
finalist in Wichita State
University’s 2015 Shocker New Venture competition, is continuing to
progress toward commercialization of its remote
health monitoring software, thanks in part to a
$50,000 I-Corps Team
grant awarded by the National Science Foundation.
Former WSU student Brandon Bartlett,
along with biomedical
engineering faculty Nils
Hakansson and Gary
Brooking and associate
professor of management
Chris Broberg, are using
the grant to further develop and cover entrepreneurial training for
the Mobile HealthLink
prototype, created bya
team of students for their
biomedical engineering
Capstone project.
The training includes
commercialization
instruction and the opportunity to conduct interviews with 100 potential
clients. It was conducted
by VentureWell, a nonprofit organization that
works in collaboration
with the NSF’s I-Corps
initiative to assist teams
such as Bartlett’s in
bringing their ideas to the
commercial landscape.
Mobile HealthLink is
a remote health monitoring software that works in
conjunction with smartwatches to enable physicians to monitor the
health of their patients
without requiring a doctor’s visit.
The software program
allows users to communicate with their doctor
from the comfort of their
homes through a variety
of questions entered by
their physician and displayed on the watch interface.
This helps doctors
assess whether patients
need to make a follow-up
appointment. In addition,
the feature helps users
avoid the time and costs
of unnecessary doctor
visits, which particularly benefits elderly and
post-surgery patients.
Some of the I-Corps
funds have been allocated
to improving the versatility of the Mobile HealthLink module. The goal is
to calibrate the software
with multiple platforms,
including smartphones
and tablets.
There are also plans to
develop a web app that
allows doctors to record
patients’ data over the
phone. This will further
facilitate health monitoring and preventive care
for doctors.
A focal aspect of the
Mobile HealthLink project is its purpose. For
Bartlett and his team,
principle transcends profit.
“It’s more about the
need and less about the
technology,” says Brooking.
The prime motivator for
Bartlett and the team is
to develop a product that
best serves an underrepresented population.
“The elderly are underserved,” says Bartlett.
“There’s this stigma that
they do not know how to
use technology.”
June 22, 2016
Alongside
developing a
product that assists the
sick and elderly in receiving the proper medical
treatment in a timely manner, Bartlett also hopes to
transform Mobile HealthLink into a business.
HARVEST MEMORY
“When I was five, my dad told me we
were going to the grain elevator. I envisioned driving up to a tall fancy building
and taking the elevator up to the highest
floor and handing our little bag of wheat
to a man in a suit. I had a disappointing
day.” Traci Miller
