Labette County Commissioners
were thrilled to see Bob Wood and
Mike Dulohery of Wood-Dulohery
Insurance in Parsons, at Monday’s
meeting since they presented the
county a check back for $36,440
from the EMC Insurance. “We had
good results on the program and
this dividend check is from August of
last year to August of this year,” they
said.
IN OTHER ACTION at Monday’s
meeting:
• Approved the purchase from
Mid-Central Contract Service Inc.,
of Pittsburg, for four Infinias Access
Control System Expandable software
at a cost of $9,893. Sheriff Robert
Sims will continue to upgrade the facility with an electronic door system.
Four doors will be installed with keyless entry: the dispatch, two perimeter doors and the EOC door.
This system will also be able to
network together with the other
county buildings. The doors power
over the ethernet and you can log
who comes in and who goes out, etc.
It will enhance our security we have
now and it has a lot of good advantages, Sims added. The funds will be
taken out of courthouse capital improvement fund.
• The commissioners discussed
that county employees family members are not permitted to ride in
county vehicles. These vehicles are
county property and not for personal
use. It puts the family at risk and we
don’t condone it, they said.
• A financial agreement was
made with Pitney Bowes for a mailing machine that will put bar coding
on parcels used for tracking at the
District Court in the Judicial Center
in Parsons.
The cost for the 60-month lease
is $141.56 a month. “We have no
choice, it’s another thing the State of
Kansas and the postal system is requiring,” Commissioners said.
•The commissioners recessed
into a work session at the Public
Works County Barn in Altamont to
discuss road grader specifications for
bids.

City ponders roofing charges
for downtown apartment building
By Heather Brown
LABETTE AVENUE
At a special meeting of the Oswego
city council, a report was heard from a
roofer that had been hired to assess the
possibility of fixing the roof of the apartment building at 4th and Merchant.
The roof was being looked at because the city used a grant to tear down
a building next door to the apartment
building.The grant had money included
to skin the side of the apartment building once the other building was removed. Once the building was removed
the deterioration of the apartment building was evident. The city was looking into fixing the
side of the apartment building before it
was skinned, but the grant administrators didn’t want to release money for
any improvements unless a solid roof
was in place to keep the building intact.
The roofer said the roof was not
patchable. The least he could do
to make the roof sound would cost
$26,610. The council asked that City
Clerk Carol Eddington take the findings
to the grant administrator and see what
they suggest the city do.
• The golf course would like to build
a pond but before they started doing
any pricing and real work on the project;
they wanted the city approval to give
their support. The city council told golf
course management to proceed with research into the cost of the project.
• A boot block was approved for the
Knights of Columbus on Saturday, Oct.
10.

Kenadie and Brody Carter took
the Labette Avenue with them on
their first visit to the Kansas State
Capital in Topeka.
They are the children of Travis
and Johna Carter, Oswego.
October is the month when
the high school graduates
from my hometown typically
have their reunions. It’s not
a whole school event, just the
individual classes having their
ten or twenty year get together, or in some of our cases a
forty or fifty year event. This
year was not a reunion year
for my class, but I’ve enjoyed
seeing the photos and reading
about my friends from the other classes who were in town to
celebrate.
The old hometown is far
different than when we all
lived there, but it doesn’t matter. Everyone seems to remember things as they were,
and not how they are today.
It’s just human nature I guess,
and each of us will always
have a soft spot in our heart
for the place where we were
raised.
This brings up a great point
for those of us who are trying
to revitalize the rural communities across Kansas. While we
tend to focus on the current
plight of lost jobs, decreasing
population, and shrinking enrollments, the alumni seem to
overlook those shortcomings
for the short time they are visiting.
I’ve always said that tapping into the nostalgic feeling
of the people who’ve moved
from our small towns is a
great resource. In communities where there has been a
purposeful and consistent effort to stay in contact with the
people who have left, we’ve
seen greater success in funding events “back home”. Most
of those who are gone still
have an interest in what is
happening, and in most cases,
are willing to support those
who are trying to make a difference.
It’s worth your effort to implement a program of “staying
in touch” with those who have
moved away, because you never know when you might just
hit the right note to “bring ‘em
back home”.

Chetopa residents know how to respond to
a crisis, and they are doing it again this week.
Faced with the loss of a major employer,
and looking at the possibility of reducing their
school to four days a week, there are concerns
about the town’s well-being.
So, tomorrow night (Thursday), Chetopa
residents will gather for a town meeting to talk
things over. Knowing them, they will not hold
back. Their opinions will resonate from floor to
ceiling and their ideas will range from simple
to complex.
Don’t you wish our state and national lead-
ers would do that?
We believe Chetopa will be fine in the big
picture. They’ve been hit with bigger problems
in the past, and they’ve always managed to redraw a roadmap for their town’s future.
We wish them well as USD 505 Supt. Bobbi
Williams, Mayor Ron Wood and a plethora of
business leaders present ideas, listen to others’ opinions and generate excitement for the
future.
It’s Chetopa at her best.

It’s wise for Oswego to deal with buildings
Oswego city leaders probably wonder why
they get themselves into such sticky issues as
building condemnation and removal, but they
need to know --- their foreward thinking is appreciated.
They have already razed two downtown
buildings, and the landscape looks better, and
certainly less dangerous.
Now, they are addressing the old apartment
building located on the corner of 4th and Merchant streets, and the effects of recently tearing
down an adjoining structure.
City officials are following common sense
procedures and adhering to existing city ordinances. They are not heavy-handed in their
dealings and the community will benefit from
the legal conversations they may have with
property owners.
All downtowns in this country are suffering from the same malady --- a deterioration of
infrastructure, whether private or public. Wise
community leaders are addressing these situations and trying to make sure tomorrow looks
better than today.
We salute the Oswego mayor, staff and city
council for staying the course on bulding condemnation and giving notice to property owners that they, too, must be a part of the town’s
progess.

A movie that portrays ‘calm’
Last weekend a friend and
I went to a movie. What is so
great is that it is finally a movie
that I can recommend for others to see. It was called the "Intern."
Not often can I say this,
but it had no violence, no fowl
language and no naked people
in it. The stars were Robert
DiNiro and Anne Hathaway.
A 70-year old gentleman, a
widower, was lonely and wanted to be useful. He applied for
a job as an intern for an up
and coming catalog business
for women's fashions. It was
amazing what his experience
with business and people could
offer the younger generation
of business entrepreneurs. He
had a bit of a problem fitting in
because they thought he was
old-fashioned, senile and out of
touch with what people wanted.
He quickly found places to
work and make things better.
He ended up being the righthand person of the woman
who began the business. She
needed support, advice and his
keen observation to help her
with her tasking overload.
Perhaps,
our
country

needs just such expertise to
help straighten out the tangled
web of rushed people, incompetence, and inadequately
trained employees in today's
world.
Experience has taught
some of us older people a few
things along the journey of
our lives. We could pass it on
and not have to re-invent the
wheel.
It will take open minds and
a willingness to listen to what
we have to say. He met great
resistance at first, but he had
the patience to do small things
for each of his co-workers and
they soon became dependent
on his advice and loyalty.
He added a sense of stability and order to their electronic, self-absorbed, chaotic existence. He cleaned off a table
piled high with unwanted and
unclaimed articles which each
of them passed every day. He
was able to fill in when no one
else had time or wanted to do
the job.
When there was a crisis on the internet, he calmly
and logically figured out what
should be done to make the
repair happen more quickly.
This experience and answer
to problems come easily for
those who have been there
before.
Not always do we have
to have the greatest talent,
knowledge and intelligence,
but we need a calm, steady,
experienced person who can
step in to help make good decisions.
Dressing up a historic lady
I am a member of the Oswego Historical Society and although a small bunch we share
a love of history, especially
about the little town we live in.
Oswego has several historical sites and one of my favorites has always been the log
house located on Third Street,
a block east of Commercial.
When I was young I remember riding my bike to the
little structure and looking in
the windows at the interior of
the quaint little house. I always
wondered how people lived in
only two rooms and if they got
on each other’s nerves. Our
house was much bigger than
the little cabin and my sister
and I often tried to kill each
other.
Now, that I’m older, I look
at the cabin and am awestruck
by the fierce men and women
who could make a tiny home
like that work for their family.
The family had to be self sufficient and I’m sure they relied
heavily on each member to
make the house run property.
Currently, there is a makeover taking place on the carved
pioneer woman and her son
that hold residence at the log
house. The old structure that
shields them from the rain is
being refurbished and the old
girl has been repaired and is
having a fresh coat of paint applied.
I feel sorry for her. She’s a
little homely and people love to
make remarks about her sour
expression. I have made my
fair share of comments about
her and it’s usually while I’m

an existence for their family in
the middle of the Kansas prairie.

New Life store adds to stock Oswegofest set for Saturday
Heather Brown
LABETTE AVENUE
New Life Clothing & More
in Altamont has recently
opened an addition to their
store. The extra space at the
store has allowed the volunteers that run New Life to
add furniture and household
items.
Volunteer Ruth Reazin
says all the items at New Life
have been donated. The store
has always carried clothing
and accessories and is now
able to add dishes, linens,
knick-knacks, holiday decorations and furniture to its list of
offerings.
Reazin said there are between 10 and 12 volunteers
that help maintain the store
but Reazin said they can
always use more. The volunteers are responsible for
everything from sorting to
selling the items brought in for
donation. The store only sells
like new items so any clothing not fitting that description
is stored in a shed outside.
The Independence Community Clothes Closet comes and
takes the items and bales
them to send to third world
countries. Reazin said this
thrills the volunteers as they
often want to repair and clean
clothing because they hate to
throw it out. The donation of
the clothes to other countries
allows the volunteers to feel
like the clothes will be used by
someone.
Elnora Reazin, Ruth’s
mother-in-law, is 94 years
old. She has a seat in the back
where she sorts and hangs
clothes when she’s at the
store. Elnora lets the younger
volunteers run around and do
the work up front while she
works in the volunteer area.
Each piece that comes in has
to be tagged with a colored
tag so it’s easy for volunteers
to see how long clothing has
been in the store. After a
month the item goes to the
shed for donation to ICCC.
New Life Clothing & More
has recently changed seasons
and is selling cold weather
clothing and even has Christmas items out. Ruth said there
are several Christmas trees
to be put out and plenty of
Christmas decor.
All of the profits are put
back in to the community.
Ruth said, “We spend down
to zero each month. This is
a faith based operation.” She
said they donate money to
people for medical expenses
and other needs. New Life
is also there for those with
emergency needs. Ruth said
anyone who has had a house
fire or has been effected by
other disasters can come to
the store and pick three outfits per family member for
free. She said now, with the
new area for household items,
the families will also be able
to get some needed items for
their home.
Ruth said the store has
drop boxes in the alley for
clothing and small items.
They ask that furniture not be
dropped off unless someone
is there to help take it inside
as the weather might cause
damage to it.
The store is located on
Huston across from the old
Twin Valley building. The
hours are Monday 6 to 8 p.m.;
Thursday 3 to 8 p.m.; and Saturday 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Concert slated to benefit Big Brutus

Lennie Baker & Blue Soul. Known as “The Godfather” of
the Bartlesville music scene,
veteran rhythm and blues artist Lennie Baker has been delighting music lovers for nearly
five decades with his outstanding piano playing, and his rich
vocals. Together with his band,
Blue Soul, Lennie performs a
wide selection of music covering the old school blues of Elmore James, to smooth soulful
songs of Otis Redding.
Lennie Baker began singing
gospel in church as a child. He
was active in choirs throughout his school years and was
influenced by Jimmy Reed,
Chuck Willis, Ray Charles, and
Etta James. He taught himself
how to play piano by ear, as
he was unable to read music.
He has been entertaining for
over 45 years and has played
coast to coast. He recorded his
first album in 1964 in Kansas
City, entitled “I Still Love You.”
Lennie was the lead singer for
a local group called “Ronnie
and The Miracles” from 1966
to 1984. He continues to play
both solo engagements and
with his quartet Blue Soul in
clubs and private parties. His
key instrument is the keyboard, but he has also played
bass guitar, lead guitar, organ,
and drums. He has opened for
renowned artists such as Roy
Clark, Glen Campbell, Tanya
Tucker, and The Great Temptations.

for

sounds of this year’s musical
artists will be the biggest treat
to the ear. Three quality acts
are scheduled to play an afternoon’s worth of free blues music at the Seaton Family Pavilion in Forest Park, 204 S. 13th
Street, Parsons, Kan.
The music starts at 11 a.m.
with a performance of one of
the area’s favorite sons of the
blues, Lem Sheppard. Not only
a talented musician, Lem is
highly educated in the history of American and African
American folk music, and he
has shared this knowledge in
hundreds of performances to
students from college scholars
to pre-school children.
Following Lem at 12:30
p.m. will be a performance
from one of the Midwest’s most
exciting young bands KALO,
named for the firecracker female singer/songwriter/guitarist Bat-Or Kalo. This blues and
R&B tinged rock band formed
in 2012 after Israeli-born guitarist, singer, and songwriter,
Bat-Or Kalo took a long road to
Oklahoma and connected with
bassist Mack McKinney and
drummer Erick Worrell.
For Bat-Or, everything
started with a Jimi Hendrix
cassette tape and a gift of an
electric guitar that put her on
a musical course. Her artistic
family encouraged her to follow an artist’s path, so she did.
Following high school,
Bat-Or, like most Israelis her
age, joined the Israeli Defense
Forces for two years. After
completing her service, BatOr enrolled in college to study
music. She moved to the U.S.
in 2004 to study guitar at Oklahoma City University.
KALO plays frequently
throughout the Heartland and
is working on a third studio album. Bat-Or’s unique history
lends to a distinctive sound
that’s beguiled audiences from
Oklahoma City to New York,
Austin to Mississippi, and
many places in between.

‘Hiding out’ in a small town
has a pretty good ring to it
This week the sights and sounds of the midwest look pretty nice. Our temps hover in the
70s or low 80s during the day and dip down
just cool enough to tempt us with the heater at
night. The wind blows, causing the leaves to
fall, almost sounding like rain. And the colors
turn just perfectly as if the Master’s paintbrush
is gracing our own backyards.
We had a friend once refer to his move to
the Elk County area as, “Hiding out in Howard.” He wasn’t running from anything, but
Howard, Kansas sure seems like a nice place
to get away from it all. In the past days we’ve
seen fires, floods, mass shootings, and drought
wreak havoc on the coasts. The cool moist
air and crunching leaves right here are sure
peaceful in the midst of the chaos.
Oh, we’ve had our share of trials and
tribulation. Remember that thing called the
Dust Bowl? Well most of us don’t but it sure
sounded like it was rough. And remember a
few years ago when our friends and neighbors
were up to their eyeballs in contaminated flood
water? And our schools, churches, and public
facilities are constantly on guard and preparing for those worst case scenarios we’ve seen
play out on national television.
So those things do happen around here.
But right now I’m perfectly happy hiding out
in Howard, Sedan, Independence, Caney, and
Oswego.
I’ll shun the hustle of city rush hour traffic
to go on our little family drive around town that
has become an almost nightly ritual. We check
the progress of the road construction, wave at
the firemen, and many times end up with an ice
cream cone in hand.
That slow pace may
not appeal to everyone,
and the reality is we
don’t accomplish slowing down as much as we
should.
The economic landscape of southeast Kansas has come under fire
in recent weeks and months. It has been felt
far and wide in the homes of our friends and
family members who have been affected by
some major business changes. Therefore it’s
been easy to get down in the mouth about our
small towns. The suburban lights have called
our name once or twice and they still twinkle
in the distance.
But right now we’re high on our small
towns. We are pleased to see the familiar
faces smiling at us at the football games.
We’re encouraged by the downtown businesses sprucing up their storefronts with mums
and fall flags. And of course we’re always
bolstered by the school spirit that keeps our
communities bright even when darkness tries
to creep in.
Today we’re happy hiding out right here
where our biggest complaints of the season
are the allergies that seem to land in our eyes
and noses from now until the first hard freeze.
For now we’ll just enjoy the sights, sounds,
and smells of fall right here in our own backyard where we can “hide out” and enjoy what
has been given to us.

Events this week
at Parsons Library
The Parsons Public Library
has the following events schedule:
• Monday, Oct. 12, at 6:30
p.m. children ages birth to
6 years of age are invited to
join Miss Willie for story hour
as she reads Pete’s a Pizza by
William Steigt. She will also
have story hour with the same
book on Tuesday, Oct. 13, and
Wednesday, Oct. 13, beginning
at 10 a.m.

totally through the pages of
our newspapers. Invariably,
we leave pink-faced after
hearing their nice comments
about what they read in our
publications each week.
As I opened the mail this
morning, I found a packet of
filler stories that the National Newspaper Association
sent out, all in celebration of
this special week.
I suppose I could have
printed some of it but chose
to jot a few words of personal testimony instead.
We are here to present
information to local communities. That includes news,
photos, obituaries, sports,
legal notices, advertising,
locally-written columns and
editorials and links through
social media that we use for
breaking news and pictures
that our readers and friends
may “pull off” and keep forever.
Every Monday night,
after I’ve spent some aftersupper time at the office,
making sure we’re on target toward publishing three
newspapers, I turn off the
computers, adjust the thermostat, and turn off the ceiling lights, leaving only two
lamps in my office to illuminate my chosen world.
For 45 years, all alone,
I’ve followed the same routine. At that very moment, I
breathe a quiet “thank you,
Lord,” then head to that
comfortable home that looks
so much like the one I once
saw on the distant horizon.
A happy newspaperman, indeed.

OHS JV girls win home matches Grizzlies book second win
By Robin Oldham
LABETTE AVENUE
Oswego High School’s junior varsity volleyball team
hosted a triangular on Oct. 1
with bouts against AltoonaMidway and Frontenac JV
teams.
The OHS girls won both
their matches.
The Oswego girls sailed
past Altoona in two sets: 2513 and 25-11. In the first
game, the team’s hitting percentage was .500, including
17 kills.
Kailee Ramsey led OHS
with six kills and Kate Campbell had four, along with six
passes.
Ryann Sheddrick posted
seven assists and six ace
serves.
According to OHS coach
Janna Olson, “Tatem Schrep-
pel had one awesome dig and
Andelyn Lawellin did some
great passing!”
The match against Frontenac was a much narrower
victory. OHS triumphed 25-22
and 25-22.
“The girls played very
well,” said Olson. “It was the
best they have played all year.
“We saw great hitting and
net play from Kailee [Ramsey]
and Kate [Campbell]. They all
played awesome defense.”
Olson
again
lauded
passing by Schreppel and
Lawellin: “This allowed us to
get 71 hits.”
Sheddrick had 15 assists
in the match. “Ryann did a
good job distributing the ball
to the hitters,” said Olson.
Ramsey had ten kills in the
match. Rachel Schenker had
ten digs.
Hornets swarm Jets
The Chetopa High School
football team traveled to Altoona-Midway High School to
book a win on Friday.
The 58-0 Hornet victory
boosted the squad’s record to
3-3.
This Friday the Hornets
will hit the road again to meet
Southern Coffey County in Leroy. The Titans are 0-5.
Game time is 7 p.m.
Eagles defeat Wildcats
The Altamont Lady Eagles

The Altamont A team won
their match in two games.
They took game one 25-11,
but narrowly defeated the

set.
Katie Bath was the Eagles’

Indians fall to Tigers
on the road
By Robin Oldham
LABETTE AVENUE
The Oswego High School
football team knew last Friday’s road game would be an
uphill battle against the 3-1
Lyndon Tigers. With just 18
healthy players in uniform,
the Indians resolved to step
up.
Their prep and commitment was obvious as they held
the Tigers’ reins till the last
ten minutes of the game when
OHS was trailing just 19-14.
That’s when a fumble return by Lyndon swung the
momentum, according to OHS
head coach Travis Hurley. The
Tigers pounced and capitalized to get the 39-14 win.
“Lyndon is one of the top
teams in 2A and we battled
for four quarters,” said Hurley. “I was very proud of how
hard the kids played.”
Unable to score in the
first half, but giving up just
one touchdown in each of the
first two quarters, the Indians
amped up their game in the
third quarter.
Ethan Garris scored on a
68-yard pass from John Walker. A Walker pass to Elijah Elliott added the two-point conversion.
Later in the third, Walker
ran in a one-yard TD, but the
Indians were unable to add
the PAT.
Ben Dickerson led the Indians on defense with seven
tackles. David McBrien forced
a fumble and Bobby Underwood recovered it.
Garris had one interception.
This week the Indians will
host Olpe for Homecoming.
The crowning of the Oswego
Football Homecoming Queen
will take place at 6:30, just
prior to 7 p.m. kickoff.

Oswego Warriors football team
takes on season
By Robin Oldham
LABETTE AVENUE
The football Grizzlies of Labette County High School tarnished the Golden Tornadoes
of Field Kindley High School in
Coffeyville on Friday.
Hints of the 55-18 victory
came early as the Grizzlies
outscored the Tornadoes 14-6
in the first quarter and 21-6 in
the second quarter to have a
23-point halftime lead.
Isaiah McPherson broke
away for a 55-yard touchdown
run to start LC’s scoring. Coffeyville answered with a 55yard interception return, but
Dominic Johnson came back
with a 12-yard TD to ensure
the Grizzlies’ lead. Missy Dantic kicked both extra points.
Still before the break, Logan Dean connected with Klein
Ryan for a 12-yard TD pass.
McPherson continued to run
TDs, adding a seven-yarder
along with a 39-yard score.
Dantic kicked the PATs.
In the third quarter, Coffeyville failed to find the endzone while a 41-yard DeanJohnson pass resulted in a
touchdown, with a Dantic PAT.
The final quarter saw the
Tornadoes add just six points
to their score. The Grizzlies’
Quiency Jones returned an interception 21 yards for an LC
TD. Dantic kicked the extra
point.
A Grizzly scoring drive resulted in one more score in the
ball game: a 14-yard Johnson
rush to the endzone.
A pleased Sean Price, LCHS
head coach, explained his
winning strategy: “Coffeyville
played a defense to stop our
passing game so we ran the
ball with a lot of success.”
Price also praised the Grizzly defense.
“Our defense once again
played very well,” he said.
“Dominic Johnson and Alex
Smith really anchored us as
well as the rest of the players.”
Indeed, Johnson was one
of three Grizzlies who intercepted five Tornadoes passes.
Johnson had two, Ryan had
two and Jones had one.
Smith logged ten solo tackles and three assists, including
three tackles for loss and one
sack. Chance March had five
solo tackles, one assist with
four tackles for loss and one
sack. Freshman Easton Dean
posted six solo tackles and two
assists, with two tackles for
loss.
“We started two freshmen today so that was a little
nerve racking,” said Price,
“But Easton Dean played great
at safety and Kale Irwin did a
nice job at wide receiver. “Isaiah McPherson really
ran the ball well and the offensive line was outstanding
all night.”
McPherson compiled 210
ground yards in the game.
The win moves the Grizzlies to 2-3.
The Grizzlies will host the
Riverton Rams on Friday for
LCHS Homecoming.

LC runners vie at Pittsburg
By Robin Oldham
LABETTE AVENUE
With the SEK League meet
looming on the horizon, the
cross country runners of Labette County High School
looked to improve performances at the Pittsburg Invitational held Oct. 1.
“This was a large meet,
with nine teams represented
for our upcoming regional,”
said LC coach Marty Warren.
The girls entered three
runners and the boys entered
seven.
All Grizzlies ran 5K varsity
races.
Megan Hyatt was top LC
finisher with ninth place in the
girls’ race and a time of 20:40.
Teammate Cheyenne Shepard
was 59th, and Jade Davis was
67th in the big event.
“This was a tough race and
I was pleased with our girls’
effort,” said Warren.
For the LC boys, Hunter
Green ran 18:08 to place 20th
in the varsity race and lead his
teammates.
Colton Chapman placed
35th and Evan Schultz placed
47th. Ike Reitemeier was 54th,
Cole Saye 55th, Austin Carson
80th and Noy Synakorn 93rd.
The LC boys’ team was
sixth in team standings.
“Our young team keeps improving and I’m proud of their
effort,” said Warren.
The Grizzlies will compete
at Independence this week,
and on Oct. 15 at Chanute in
the SEK League Meet.
The deadline for all news and ads is Monday at 5 p.m.
OHS cross country trio
battles at Pitt
By Robin Oldham
LABETTE AVENUE
And then there were
three….
Coach Neal Cruse has seen
injuries whittle away his Oswego High School cross country team to just three runners
who were healthy enough to
compete at the Oct. 1 Pittsburg Invitational.
And one of them was sick.
Rileigh Vail ran the 5K
varsity girls’ race while battling illness, and still managed
to capture eighth place among
67 runners with a time of
20:39, nearly a minute faster
than her last best time.
“I already had a lot of respect for Rileigh’s work ethic
and competitiveness,” said
Cruse. “That respect grew
with this race. Instead of making excuses, Rileigh went out
and busted her tail and ran
hard and competed for every
spot.”
Vail wasn’t the only Oswego runner making improvements.
Teammates
Jesse
Haraughty and Maison Reynolds both bettered their times,
competing in junior varsity 5K
races.
Haraughty medaled in her
fourth consecutive JV contest,
placing third in a field of 54
runners. Haraughty’s time
was 22:35, a new personal
record by about two minutes,
and just 30 seconds behind
first place.
“Jesse just keeps amazing
me with how she keeps improving,” said Cruse. “She ran
the entire race without stopping.”
Reynolds showed major
improvement in the boys’ JV
event, turning in 24:10, more
than three minutes faster than
his previous personal record.
He placed 62nd in the field of
80+ runners.
“Maison just keeps getting
better every day,” marveled
Cruse.
“I was really impressed by
them all and very happy for
them.”

The largest cabbage at Bartlett Grade School this year was grown
by Michael Reed in 4th grade. Bonnie Plants from Alabama sponsored a contest by giving each 3rd grader a cabbage plant to grow
over the summer. Michael’s cabbage weighed around 10 pounds,
and he plans on eating it. It would have been much bigger except
for a little too much rain and a lot too much insects. (Courtesy photo)

the color black is made up of not black only, but also blue, green

hosting quilt show through
the month of October
SUBMITTED BY
FLOSSIE REA
The Oswego Public Library will host a quilt show

their quilts. Patrons are invited to come in and view the

hours on Tuesday-1 to 8 p.m.;
Wednesday-10 a.m. to 5:30

Quilters featured will be
Susan Reed, Flossie Rea, Sharon Wilson and Carol Holmes.
***
The real name of the quilt
in this picture is “The Romance Continues” and is made
from the fabric-Wild Rose
from Marti Mitchell but it has
been renamed “Tornado Quilt”
by those involved in its story.
May 22, 2011 was when a
monster storm shattered Joplin, Mo. but it didn’t break
its spirit. Winds clocked at or
above 200 miles per hour were
recorded. It was the most powerful tornado in the past 50
years.
More than 160 people
were killed, 900 injured, 800
structures and St. Johns Hospital were destroyed.
One day before the storm
I was taking a quilting class
with some other women in Joplin at Sew Neat, a fabric shop
on 20th Street. The instructor
was Brenda Orban.
The morning after the
storm I awoke and heard
about the terrible storm Joplin had. I was just sick. I called
around to my friends to see if
Sew Neat was still there. Bad
news; the building was gone.
Material was blown everywhere.
Our instructor Brenda,
bless her heart, searched and
searched to find the materials
for the quilt we were making.
God was with her. She found
almost all the different materials that were needed to make
the quilt. She washed it all and
we continued working on the
quilt at home. It was a miracle
what she had done.
That is why my quilting
ladies and I call this quilt the
“Tornado Quilt.” This quilt will
be history because of that terrible day in Joplin.
Those who died will never
be forgotten. Someday I would
like to donate this quilt to Joplin in memory of those who
lost their lives.

I learned to quilt from
Flossie Rea by taking her quilt-
Irene Shields is one tough cookie. She has survived breast cancer, three knee
surgeries and, earlier this year, she was diagnosed with colon cancer. Irene’s body
tolerated chemotherapy pretty well when she was fighting breast cancer in 1995,
but this time around it really took its toll on her body. She spent three weeks in
the hospital. When it was time for her to leave the hospital, her out-of-town doctors recommended a short-term stay at Home N Sight.
Irene wasn’t opposed to that idea. She knew of others in the community who
had successfully recovered at Home N Sight. Plus, she was very sick and extremely
weak. She knew she wasn’t ready to take care of herself at home.
Once Irene arrived at Home N Sight, our team of therapists went to work to
develop a plan that included daily therapy sessions to help her recover quickly.
After just a few short weeks, Irene was strong enough to take care of herself.
We’re pleased to report that Irene has returned to her own home, and we thank
her as she continues to spread the word about the benefits of Home N Sight.
105 Catalpa Street • Coffeyville, KS • (620) 251-5190
www.windsorplace.net
“My stay at Home N Sight was great. I got really good care and had good food to eat. I went to therapy every day. That really helped me
regain my balance and strength. I experienced a lot of improvement while I was there. I’ve known a lot of people who recovered at Home
N Sight. I never imagined I’d have to go there, but I’m so glad I did. The hospital in Bartlesville even recommended Home N Sight. I’m so
relieved to be back at home so I can take care of my three little dogs. I would definitely recommend Home N Sight to others.”
