Also during the meeting, the board decided - on a split vote - not to fill the open position on the school board at this time. Masks were no longer required but “strongly recommended” in the district starting last Monday, Oct. 4, which is when the district began implementing its “Test To Stay And Learn” program. Now, students who are de- termined to be a close contact of a positive COVID-19 case can continue to attend school in person as long as they test nega- tive with an antigen test before school each day of their quaran- tine period, it was reported. The antigen tests are being administered through the dis- trict at the district office storage building in Mayetta as part of a grant. Superintendent Aaric Davis presented a masking criteria policy to the board during the meeting that is based on the number of current students and staff members who have tested positive for COVID-19 or are in quarantine due to being in close contact with a positive COVID- 19 case. The formula for the criteria is the number of students and staff members in isolation and quar- antine in each individual school building divided by the total number of students and staff in the building to determine a per- centage. The criteria is based on that percentage and includes: * Green: Between zero to 1.99 percent – masks are optional. * Yellow: Between two per- cent and 4.99 percent – masks are strongly recommended. * Red: Five percent or above – masks required for indoor learning. The formula will not include students and staff members par- ticipating in the “Test To Learn” program or those vaccinated and are asymptomatic in the quaran- tine and isolation totals, Davis said. By Brian Sanders Official enrollment is down slightly in the Jackson Heights school district, but an increase in per-student state aid, as well as more students coming into the district, will offset that decline, Superintendent Jim Howard told the USD 335 Board of Education during its regular monthly meet- ing on Monday. With a total district headcount of 385 and a weighted full-time enrollment (FTE) of 641.1 for the 2021-22 school year, Howard said the district saw an FTE de- cline of 11.6 from last year, add- ing that a $137 increase in base state aid per student would still give the district $34,830 more than last year in state aid. That increase in state aid serves as a boon for the district, he said, as it was needed “to support the total number of staff we’ve nego- tiated for this year.” “If that number had been 15 or 20 kids lower, we’d have to have a conversation about not filling a few of those staff openings,” Howard told the board. “But the way it is now, we’re at the point of having exactly the number of kids we needed to fund the total number of teachers.” But with parents in the area continuing to express an inter- est in moving their children to the Jackson Heights school district, which does not have a mask mandate in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19, from schools that have full or partial mandates in place, Howard said the FTE picture in the district is likely to improve. By Brian Sanders Life in the southwestern corner of Jackson County is anything but quiet for the fam- ily of Doug and Melanie Re- ser, who stay busy raising four children in the 4-H tradition that gives them the opportuni- ty to make a difference in the Delia community. “They get the most out of it at the club level,” Doug Reser says of their four children, all members of the Delia Early Birds 4-H club. “Being in- volved in the Delia community, and some of the work they’ve done to give back to the com- munity through the club — I don’t know if they see it yet, at this point in their lives, but that’s the kind of thing that makes us proud.” Three of the Resers’ kids — Bronc, 17, Dali, 16, and Colt, 9 — are actively involved in 4-H through the Early Birds, and while their fourth child, four-year-old Roan, is too young to be involved in 4-H, he’s looking forward to doing the same things his older sib- lings are doing in the club and in the community. “He’s been asking for a bucket calf of his own for two years,” Doug said of Roan. “He’ll probably have his own Clover Bud bucket calf of his own before he’s seven.” Even listening to the work his siblings have done with cattle and other livestock in 4-H prompts Roan to continue to ask for his parents for his own bucket calf, which he says he wants to learn how to raise on his own. “That’ll happen eventually,” Melanie tells him. Raising their children in 4-H marks the continuation of a tradition that Doug and Mela- nie were themselves raised in, Doug as a participant in Shaw- nee County 4-H programs, where he was active in beef, swine and rocketry projects, while Melanie was involved in swine, beef, dairy cattle and numerous other projects grow- ing up in Miami County. The two of them helped Doug’s nieces and nephews with their 4-H projects in Shawnee County when they were younger, Melanie said, and that led the two of them to the decision that when they had children of their own, they would be in 4-H as well.

Dillner, Beth Nelson, FOBCR board member, and Kurt Zibell, reservoir director, met with the commissioners to discuss the $160,000 matching grant re- ceived from the Kansas Land & Water Conservation Fund. In July of 2020, the FOBC submitted a grant application for a 42-foot by 60-foot climate- controlled multipurpose building that would seat 125 to 150 people and include a serving kitchen. Due to repetitive delays cre- ated by the COID-19 pandemic, the announcement of the grant recipients was pushed back. “With the delays, material costs have gone up, and we may have to do additional fund-rais- ing,” Dillner said. Bids were originally acquired in April 2020 for the building, but will now be rebid, Dillner said. Once the grant was submit- ted, FOBCR was not allowed to conduct any additional fund- raising. Now that the grant has been awarded, additional funds needed can be raised. The FOBCR currently has raised $112,750 for the project, Nelson said. In addition, the county has allocated $25,000 in county alcohol tax funds toward the construction of the basement of the building, which will be used as a storm shelter for any- one visiting the reservoir. Nelson said the delays due to COVID-19 greatly affect the price of the originally submitted bids to construct the building. Grant awarded for Banner shelter house By David Powls The Holton school district has been awarded a grant total- ing $501,725 through the Kan- sas Department of Health and Environment to do COVID- 19 antigen testing this school term and now is in the process of seeking to hire three regis- tered nurses full time, three lab technicians to staff the testing program for each of the school buildings and a communication specialist. A total of $98,750 of the KDHE funds are for test sup- plies. The balance of $402,975 in KDHE funds is direct fund- ing to the school district for the COVID-19 testing program, it was reported.

By Ali HolcombA masking criteria was ad-

opted during the Royal Valley Board of Education meeting on Monday evening, which will be used to determine when a mask mandate would be reinstated in district school buildings.

Also during the meeting, the board decided - on a split vote - not to fill the open position on the school board at this time.

Masks were no longer required but “strongly recommended” in the district starting last Monday, Oct. 4, which is when the district began implementing its “Test To

slight ly in the Jackson Heights school dis trict, but an increase in per-student state aid, as well as more students coming into the district, will offset that decline, Superintendent Jim Howard told the USD 335 Board of Education during its regular monthly meet-ing on Monday.

con tinuing to express an inter-est in mov ing their children to the Jackson Heights school district, which does not have a mask mandate in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19, from schools that have full or partial mandates in place, Howard said the FTE picture in the district is likely to improve.

By Brian SandersAlthough guns can be used

for criminal purposes, they can also be used to deter criminal activity by re sponsible, quick-thinking civilians, and local law enforcement officers say they support the right of respon sible gun owners to defend them-selves.

“I have never been opposed to law-abiding citizens being armed,” Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse said. “It is just my wish that every one would take that right very seri ously.”

Sheriff Morse and Holton Police Chief Steve Frederick recently voiced their support for responsible citizens who exer-cise their Second Amendment right to bear arms, em phasizing that individuals who arm them-selves must exercise responsi-bility in doing so.

“Keeping or carrying a fire-arm comes with great respon-sibility,” Chief Frederick said. “Those who choose to do so make sure they un derstand the laws, take the necessary train-ing and be willing to accept the responsibility.”

The Holton Recorder recent-ly published a two-part com-mentary on the use of guns in stopping criminal activities and in self-defense. Freder ick said he could not recall any spe cific incidents “in the recent past” in volving firearm use in self-defense, but Morse recalled an incident that occurred shortly after he became the county sher-iff.

“A citizen had been the vic-tim of a burglary in the night,”

Morse said. “The next night, the burglars re turned while the citizen was alone at home. One of the burglars entered the resi-dence wearing a ski mask. The homeowner felt compelled to use deadly force, striking the sus pect.”

The burglar survived the inju-ry, and Morse noted that he and the citi zen were able to capture a second burglar at that time. Since that inci dent, the sher-iff said he has often wondered what could have happened if the citizen did not have the means to protect himself.

Morse also noted that while he has seen several instances where firearms were used for criminal purposes, there have also been several situa tions where gun owners used their weapons to protect themselves, even at times when law enforce-ment officers are not readily available to offer their own pro-tection.

“Even in the best situations,” Morse said, “it is going to take time for law enforcement to ar-rive on the scene.”

Frederick agreed.“Law enforcement’s funda-

mental function is the protection of life and property,” he said. “However, no matter how hard we try, we cannot always be there to prevent a bad act when minutes or even seconds might make the difference.”

According to the U.S. Depart-ment of Justice’s National Crime Vic itimization Survey, about 100,000 defensive gun uses

By Ali HolcombJackson County has entered

into a new six-year contract with EagleView of Bellevue, Wash. for higher resolution aerial imag-ery of properties in the county.

The contract totals $178,145 over six years ($29,690 per year) and includes two flyovers of the county, it was reported.

American Rescue Plan Act funds are being used to pay for the new contract. With the new software and images from Eag-leView, county employees won’t be required to spend as much time inspecting properties in person.

This is the first allocation of county ARPA funds that the

Jackson County Commission-ers have approved so far, it was reported. The county is expected to receive $2.5 million in fed-eral ARPA funds. Last July, the county received half of that amount, with the second half to be received next year. The funds must be spent by 2024.

During a recent commission meeting, Alex Stark and Hunter Hampton of EagleView gave a presentation on the company, which offers “geospatial soft-ware, aerial imagery and analyt-ics.”

Currently, the Jackson Coun-ty Appraiser’s Office uses agri-cultural aerial imagery taken in 2019 that has a limited scope of

view, similar to that of Google Earth, according to Jackson County Appraiser Kate Immen-schuh.

EagleView provides five im-ages of every property during its flyovers - one from each di-rection and one straight down image. The additional imagery allows employees at the ap-praiser’s office to be able to take measurements of certain areas of a property on the computer without leaving the office, it was reported.

During the commission meet-ing, Stark demonstrated the pro-gram and showed the tools that can be used to measure distance, area, acres and elevation.

Most of the software and data would be used by the appraiser’s office, but the program could also be utilized for public works, emergency management and 911, it was reported. She also mentioned that it could benefit law enforcement who may need information on possible exits at a building before conducting a raid or search.

Stark said that the higher resolution imagery would help reduce the time and expense of sending an appraiser’s office employee to a property to assess a property in person. She said it’s also safer.

Two employees at Hol-ton’s Sonic Drive-In restau-rant were injured yes terday when a vehicle struck the restaurant building, Holton Police Chief Steve Frederick reported.

At about 11:34 a.m., Fran-cis M. Shinn, 83, of Hering-ton, was at tempting to park a 2016 Chevrolet Impala in one of the stalls on the south side of the restaurant when she reportedly stepped on the gas instead of the brake, striking the restaurant’s south wall.

The impact resulted in in-juries to two Sonic employ-

ees when cookstoves along the south wall of the restau-rant were impacted by the accident, spilling hot oil.

The injured employees were transport ed by Jackson County EMS to Tope ka hos-pitals, Frederick added, not-ing that Shinn and a passen-ger in the Im pala, Robert L. Shinn, 83, also of Herington, were not injured.

Holton police were as-sisted by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, the Holton Fire Department and Jackson County EMS with the acci-dent.

Wards 1, 2 and 3 will now cast all election votes at Holton’s First Baptist Church, it has been reported. Polling for these wards had previously been located at the Holton Vets Club but was changed this year due to limited park-ing and space, according to Jackson County Clerk Kathy Mick.

BlastFrom The Past

D a r r e l C h a p m a n (shown at right), 48, is running for mayor of Mayetta in the Nov. 2 general e l e c t i o n . I n c u m b e n t Jonathan Wimer, who has served as mayor for more than 10 years, is also seeking re-election to this position.

Chapman currently serves as a member of the Mayetta City Council.

“Small towns, like Mayetta, have very limited resources. It is important that elected officials are good stewards of those resources,” Chapman said. “There are costly and difficult problems that Mayetta will need to deal with in the next several years, including street and sidewalk repairs and maintaining the city’s infrastructure. These things can be managed with good leadership and focusing on the needs of the city and the citizens, instead of on nonessential projects.”

Chapman has lived in

Jackson County for more than 30 years, graduating from Royal Valley High School. He also is a graduate of the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center. He has served as the undersheriff of the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office since June 2011.

“I have worked as the undersheriff of Jackson County for the last 10 years. Managing personnel and limited resources has been a big part of my job. I have also served two terms on the Mayetta City Council,” he said.

He and his wife, Susanne, have three adult children.

Incumbent Tim Morris (shown at right), 71, of Holton is seeking re-election to the position one seat on the Holton City Commission in the u p c o m i n g election.

Sam Holliday of Holton has also filed for this position. Holliday notified The Recorder that he has withdrawn from the position but his name will still appear on the ballot since he withdrew after the deadline.

Holliday said his family is moving later next year, which would make him ineligible for the position.

“I ask for no votes but will accept the outcome of the election,” Holliday said.

Morris has served three consecutive three-year terms on the Holton City Commission after he was first elected in 2009.

“When I first decided to run for election to the city commission in 2008, I did so because, being newly retired, I felt I had the time to devote to this job,” Morris said. “I have always felt a responsibility to be an active participant in my community. During the time my daughters were growing up, I served in many roles in the Holton summer ball program and for 12 years on the USD 336 school board. With my children being grown, my focus shifted and city government was the area in which I wanted to devote my energy. Serving on the city commission allows me to continue to make Holton a better place for all ages – young families, retired people and senior citizens.”

Morris is a lifelong resident of Jackson County, growing up in Circleville and moving to Holton when he married his wife, Sandee, in 1970.

They have three grown daughters, Stephanie Morris, Katherine Walker and Erin Schwartz, and seven grandchildren.

He graduated from Holton High School in 1968 and retired from Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in 2007 after 38 years of service.

“I will work to help the businesses of Holton prosper, allowing the citizens of Holton to purchase many of the goods and services they need right here in town,” he said. “We are very fortunate that our downtown area stores are thriving and that our downtown area looks so appealing.”

Morris said one of the reasons he’s seeking another term on the city commission is to complete the rebuilding of the city’s infrastructure, with a focus on replacing the city’s sewer system.

“Eight years ago, the voters approved a one-half percent sales tax to fund this project,” he said. “Using sales tax dollars to fund this rebuilding, instead of property tax dollars, saves money for property owners as the cost is spread among everyone shopping in Holton and not just among the property

owners. In two years, it will be necessary to ask the voters to continue this one-half percent sales tax one more time to complete the infrastructure rebuild.”

If re-elected, Morris said he will continue to bring a “common sense” approach to city government.

“During my first term on the city council, the city held $14 million in debt. Holding the line on spending, which often meant repairs instead of replacing and sometimes delaying purchases, this debt was paid down,” he said. “Now we hold only $2 million in debt, with this loan being one that does not allow early completion. At this time, the city is able to purchase new equipment and complete more projects due to not having to pay interest on borrowed money.”

Morris said that if he serves another term, he will continue to take “the responsibilities of this office seriously.”

“I am retired and spend a great deal of time within the city each day, and I attend a lot of community functions,” he said. “I will be available to the citizens of Holton. I will listen with an open mind to all opinions voiced. I will vote honestly on all issues, considering both the community’s wishes and what’s best for the future of Holton.”

By John Richard SchrockGeorge Washington once

stated that “our Liberty can never be safe but in the hands of the people them­selves, and that too of the people with a certain degree of instruction.” This was an early r e c o g n i t i o n that educated workers are m­ore produc­tive than less e d u c a t e d workers and that a value for higher levels of education is necessary for m­aintaining a dem­ocracy.

In 2016, Garett Jones authored “Hive Mind: How Your Nation’s IQ Matters So Much More Than Your Own.” Jones is a professor at George Mason University and BB&T Professor for the Study of Capitalism­ at their libertarian Mercatus Center.

IQ, or “intelligence quotient,” is a score derived from­ standardized tests that assess hum­an intelligence. The raw scores form­ a norm­al distribu­tion curve with the average at 100 and a standard deviation of 15. About two­thirds score

between IQ 85 and IQ 115.While there is definitely a

genetic factor to IQ, there is also a contribution from­ education. The late New Zealand researcher Jam­es Flynn noted the ongoing year­after­year increases in IQ scores worldwide, which is now referred to as the “Flynn effect.”

Raw IQ scores have risen at an average of three IQ points each decade since the early 1900s, so there are im­portant factors in IQ beyond genetics. Jones discusses breast­feeding, peer effects, practice effects and other factors that m­ight lead to higher IQ scores over tim­e.

Jones also cites how a psychologist has converted the international tests into a national average “cognitive ability score” for each country and then graphs it against real GDP per person. South Korea and Japan were at the top on cognitive ability.

Jones notes how the “collective intelligence” or “hive m­ind” of a country is m­ore im­portant that the IQs of just a few of its citizens. The top cognitive ability and IQ scores are in Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan. A nation’s IQ “…was a good predictor of a nation’s level of

prosperity.”Educated workers are m­ore

productive than less educated workers. He notes that nations like Singapore and Finland “usually have governm­ents that are reasonably free of cor­ruption; have decent roads and bridges…” etc.

Jones also notes the close relationship of IQ to em­otional intelligence. He points to psychology where “it’s well known that higher IQ predicts greater openness to new experiences…” But he also notes that there are plenty of folks with high IQ who m­ake low wages. His work indicates that IQ “m­attered about six tim­es m­ore for nations than for individuals…”

He explains how, on average, sm­arter people are m­ore patient and tend to save m­ore m­oney. He points to China holding Am­erica’s debt… and exam­ple of a higher IQ vs. lower IQ nation. The Asian countries aver­age IQs of 101 to 103. The U.S. averages 99.

In a m­arket econom­y where people are working together, sm­all differences in higher skills lead to big differences in productivity, just as athletes train harder when am­ong better

com­petitors.In chapter seven of “Hive

Mind,” his book cuts deep when Jones writes about the general level of education and the recognition of science facts. “People with m­ore inform­ation tend to know m­ore facts… they are m­ore likely to form­ their political opinions on the basis of reality rather than ru­m­or, intuition and wishful — or fearful — thinking.”

That brings us to the unanswered question of why a United States that is touted as having a m­odern healthcare system­ and som­e very fam­ous scientists at high levels has about the m­ost abysm­al record of COVID­19 deaths on a per capita basis and lags far behind other developed nations in vaccination rates.

Although “Hive Mind” was written in 2016 before this pandem­ic, his research suggests that our low level of science literacy has failed to reach George Washington’s “…certain degree of instruction” level of literacy necessary to keep our society safe.

By Jim HoyA few weeks ago, I went to

Alm­a for the opening of a special exhibit on hay and haying. Now, that’s a rather m­ u n d a n e topic, not likely to stir up a lot of interest in p o t e n t i a l v i s i t o r s , but it’s an i m­ p o r t a n t topic.

W i t h o u t hay a farm­er or rancher will end up with a bunch of dead or em­aciated cows when spring finally arrives after half a year of fall and win­ter.

But I also believe that it’s an interesting topic, because, as a folklorist, I know that those day­to­day activities, whether on a farm­, in a kitchen or on a factory floor, are the essence of life, and the things we take for granted today will be fascinating to people in the future.

Back when I was gathering stories and inform­ation for m­y books on the Flint Hills, alm­ost every older wom­an I interviewed would say som­ething like, “Oh, you should talk to m­y husband. I never did anything special.” And I would say som­ething like, “How do you wash clothes today?” and she would say, “I

just throw them­ in the m­achine, set the dials, and then put them­ in the dryer.”

“And how,” I would ask, “did you wash them when you first started housekeeping?” “Well,” she would say, “we always washed on Monday and ironed on Tuesday. I had to run them­ through the wringer before I hung them­ up to dry.”

Young people today have no idea what keeping house was like in their grandm­others’ day, and unless som­eone records it before those from­ that generation are gone, people in the future will have no idea, either.

But I’m­ getting distracted; I want to talk about m­aking hay. Like grandm­a’s washday routine, it’s far different today that it was a century, or even a half century, ago.

Today a farm­er cuts hay from­ the cab of a (som­etim­es air­conditioned) swather, then goes through the hayfield a couple of days later driving a (som­etim­es air­conditioned) tractor pulling a rake that throws two windrows together into one big fluffy one.

Next, again driving a (som­etim­es air­conditioned) tractor, he pulls into the field with a baler. Rarely today is that baler one that produces sm­all square (actually rectangular) bales, but instead it is a Verm­eer or Hesston big round baler, or else one that m­akes huge square

bales. From start to finish, his hands never touch a bale.

Haying today is not the dirty, hot, sweaty work it was in m­y youth. In m­y earliest m­em­ory, m­y father or grandfather m­owed the alfalfa or prairie hay with a team­ of m­ules, then later with a m­ower m­ounted on a tractor.

When the hay dried, I was often given the job of raking that hay into windrows with a team­ of m­ules. We had no baler until I was a senior in high school and Dad bought an Allis­Chalm­ers Roto­baler, which m­ade sm­all round bales (about 65 or 70 pounds each).

Instead, we loose­stacked the hay into large circular, cone­shaped stacks, or else into rectangular stacks in feed racks. In the latter, cows could eat directly from­ the rack, whereas we had to load hay from­ the round stacks onto a m­ule­drawn hayrack, then haul it to the waiting cows.

To m­ake these stacks, m­y grandfather would go into the hayfield with a two-mule-drawn go­devil (som­etim­es called a hay buck), a wide, wooden­toothed m­achine with him­ perched on a seat m­ade of a board that extended to the rear, then take that load to the Jayhawk stacker, itself powered by a pair of m­ules, leave the go­devil load on the wooden teeth of the stacker and go back for

another load.While he was doing that, m­y

father would drive the stacker forward, pushing one of the three pedals to lift the hay, another to stop it from­ rising, then, when over the stack, push the third pedal to dum­p the hay.

The m­an (som­etim­es two m­en) on the stack would then m­ove that hay a forkful at a tim­e into the correct place and walk on it to press it in place in order to build a stack that would shed water. My grandfather’s criteria for a good stacking job was that a finished stack should “split a raindrop,” half going down one side of the stack, the other half down the other side.

My uncle was the stacker, which might be why he finally m­oved away from­ hom­e at 40 years of age. Then it was m­en from­ the com­m­unity hired to stack, until I got old enough to do the job. And lobby for a hay baler, which we got when I was 17.

I’m­ not nostalgic about stacking loose hay, and I do share m­y father’s sentim­ents when som­eone would com­m­ent on the sweet sm­ell of curing alfalfa: “Sm­ells like work to m­e.”

Even when it upsets andoverwhelms us, truth above all.

By Lee H. HamiltonOne of the great privileges of

teaching and working on a uni­versity cam­pus is the chance to be in regular touch with young people. Even better, I som­e­tim­es get asked to give talks elsewhere and to m­eet with young people of all kinds and descriptions – som­etim­es one on one, som­etim­es in sm­all groups, som­etim­es with as m­any as 50 or 60 people.

Over the past few years, this has given m­e a chance to observe the u p c o m­ i n g generation of citizens and leaders, and what I’ve seen heart­ens m­e. Not least because the young people I’ve m­et are, for the m­ost part, deeply concerned about the fu­ture of the country. They can be sharply critical, but it’s clear that m­ost of them­ take a funda­m­ental pride in what this nation stands for and how far it’s trav­eled over the centuries.

This shows up in a funda­m­ental respect for the country’s diversity, and an overall respect for m­any of the institutions of representative dem­ocracy: the m­ilitary, the courts, law enforce­m­ent, the health care system­ – though Congress often com­es in for som­e sharp words.

To be sure, they can also be critical of these institutions’ flaws, but I haven’t encountered anyone who wants to tear them­ up and start over again. Instead, they want to fix what’s in front of them­. They’re curious about how the nation’s institutions work, even skeptical, but they don’t reject them­ outright as ir­redeemably flawed.

There are several key issues that dom­inate our conversa­tions: clim­ate change, COVID­19, student loans and college debt. If you ask what problem­s they’re m­ost concerned about, racial issues also loom­ large: they see racial inequity and repairing historic wrongs as a huge and im­portant challenge to our representative dem­ocracy. Interestingly, m­ore than the old­er people I encounter, they will often speak up in favor of U.S. engagem­ent with the world and want the U.S. to exert a helpful leadership role.

When it com­es to dom­estic politics, I’ve been struck by the extent to which the students I m­eet seem­ interested in m­aking voting easier. Not infrequently, they’ll bring up the idea of m­ak­ing Election Day a national hol­iday. And they seem­ to like the idea of autom­atic voter registra­tion for citizens, to encourage participation.

As for their own participa­tion, I often ask if anyone wants to run for public office. I’m always pleasantly surprised at the num­ber of hands that go up. More than a few want to pursue jobs in governm­ent at all levels, arguing that they can m­ake a greater contribution there than they m­ight otherwise – they recognize that working for gov­ernm­ent is not a path to great wealth, yet they’re still com­m­it­ted to that idea.

Perhaps m­ost heartening is even those who have no desire to serve in governm­ent confess an interest in serving their com­­m­unities and im­proving their corner of the world. I always com­e away stirred by the num­­ber of these young people who speak with knowledge and com­­m­itm­ent about their desire to be of service.

To be sure, it’s bracing to sit in on their discussions about where the country’s headed. They’re often robust, with plen­ty of differences of opinion. But underlying these conversations is a general optim­ism­ about the future – and, quite notably in this political clim­ate, a wide tolerance for the viewpoints of others and a willingness to lis­ten to one another. I wish it were m­ore com­m­on am­ong adults.

The one other thing I’ll note is that fairly regularly, I com­e across students – of all races, ethnicity and description – who are clearly talented, engaged and im­pressive. They are, I be­lieve, m­arked for leadership. And if I’m­ right, we’re going to be in good hands.

Native Am­erican Day for KansasPresident Joe Biden on Oct.

8 issued the first-ever presiden­tial proclam­ation of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The day was ob­served Oct. 11, along with Co­lum­bus Day, which is a national holiday. Native Am­ericans re­portedly have cam­paigned for years for local and national days in recognition of the country’s indigenous peoples.

Kansas needs a form­ally rec­ognized Native Am­erican Day, in m­y opinion.

“For generations, federal pol­icies system­atically sought to assim­ilate and displace Native people and eradicate Native cul­tures,” President Biden wrote in the Indigenous Peoples’ Day proclam­ation. “Today, we rec­ognize Indigenous peoples’ resilience and strength as well as the im­m­easurable positive im­pact that they have m­ade on every aspect of Am­erican soci­ety.”

In a separate proclam­ation on Colum­bus Day, Biden praised the role of Italian Am­ericans in U.S. society, but also referenced the violence and harm­ that Co­lum­bus and other explorers of that tim­e brought about on the Am­ericas.

“Today, we also acknowledge the painful history of wrongs and atrocities that m­any Eu­ropean explorers inflicted on Tribal Nations and Indigenous com­m­unities,” Biden wrote. “It is a m­easure of our greatness as a nation that we do not seek to bury these sham­eful episodes of our past — that we face them­ honestly, we bring them­ to the light, and we do all we can to address them­.”

Who are indigenous peoples? It is estim­ated that there are m­ore than 370 m­illion indig­enous people spread across 70 countries worldwide, according to the United Nations.

Practicing unique traditions, they retain social, cultural, eco­nom­ic and political characteris­tics that are distinct from­ those of the dom­inant societies in

which they live.Spread across the world from­

the Arctic to the South Pacific, they are the descendants ­ ac­cording to a common definition ­ of those who inhabited a coun­try or a geographical region at the tim­e when people of differ­ent cultures or ethnic origins ar­rived.

Am­ong the indigenous peo­ples are those of the Am­ericas (for exam­ple, the Lakota in the U.S., the Mayas in Guatem­ala or the Aym­aras in Bolivia), the Inuit and Aleutians of the cir­cum­polar region, the Saam­i of northern Europe, the Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders of Australia and the Maori of New Zealand.

These and m­ost other indige­nous peoples have retained dis­tinct characteristics which are clearly different from­ those of other segm­ents of the national populations.

Native Am­erican Day is a dif­ferent holiday observed in sev­eral states in celebration of Na­tive Am­erican culture.

In California and Nevada, the holiday is celebrated on the fourth Friday of Septem­ber, whereas in South Dakota and Wisconsin, it falls on the second Monday of October.

Within each of these states, Native Am­erican Day honors the cultural contributions of Na­tive Am­erican com­m­unities to the respective state’s history, as well as to the overall country.

The state of Washington celebrates Native Am­erican Heritage Day on the Friday im­­m­ediately following the fourth Thursday in Novem­ber. The state of Tennessee observes a sim­ilar Am­erican Indian Day each year on the fourth Monday of Septem­ber.

Verm­ont, Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Minnestoa, North Caro­lina and Oregon also celebrate with Native Am­erican Day. With its rich Native Am­erican history and heritage, why doesn’t Kan­sas? David Powls

“I have seen, way too often, indi viduals who are ‘gun happy’ and al most desirous to display their weapons and use force unnecessari ly,” Morse said. “Anyone who car ries a firearm should be well-trained in its use. Life is very fragile and a simple mistake can change the lives of many in an instant — not only for a victim or loved ones, but also for the shooter.”

That’s why both Morse and Fred erick recommend gun own-ers take concealed-carry cours-es or other publicly available courses that teach gun safety and responsibility.

“Whether you actually pur-sue the concealed-carry permit, the educa tion is very valuable,” Morse said. “There are a number of statutes that every gun owner should be familiar with.”

ship on Sunday, Oct. 10 was di-rected by Pastor Guy Hedrick. Biblical references from Job 23:1-9 and 16-17 set the back-ground for the message and the discussion following.

Job’s remarkable faith can be an example of what God wishes for each of His children. Job’s problems and losses probably have a casual reader or a still learning child of God wonder-ing how Job could have re-mained so faithful and accepted his losses and tragedies with such unquestioning calmness.

Most would probably be ask-ing “Why me” and crying out to the Lord. His journey with God seemed to be simply one of faith and trust, while we might still be asking, “Why me, Lord?”

The selected scriptures seem to message to us that some-times there are no clear answers for us, but that our acceptance might lead to a turn around of our lives.

Following the regular service, the members held their annual business meeting. After view-ing and approving minutes of the last meeting, the next year’s proposed budget was discussed and a few items were amended. Subsequent discussion and ap-proval indicated support for an-other year of service and assis-tance to church and community needs and sharing.

Several members have dealt with COVID and other health issues in the past few months, and it was gratifying to have most back in attendance. Some have shared the arrivals of new grandchildren and great-grand-children, always a blessing for the members.

School’s Cobra football team is looking to bounce back this week from a 35-0 road loss to Class 1A top-ranked Olpe on Oct. 8, Cobra Head Coach Caleb Wick said.

Olpe led 7-0 after the first quarter and 14-0 at halftime. In the second half, the Eagles added 14 points in the third quarter and seven more in the fourth.

“I thought we played very sound defensively in the first half, but our defense was on the field way too long and ran out of gas,” coach Wick said. “We made too many mistakes on the offensive side of the football to sustain drives during the duration of the game. But with that said, I definitely think we made drastic improvements from the week before and look forward to trusting the process and getting better each and every week.”

The game marked the third straight meeting between the two teams in which the Cobras were unable to score. Olpe faced Jackson Heights twice last year and came away with shutouts on their way to a Class 1A state championship.

The Cobras, now 3-3 overall, will have the opportunity to get back in the win column with a Friday road trip to Blue Rapids, where they will take on a Valley Heights team that’s now 2-3 after a 12-0 win over Twin Valley League foe Troy. Olpe, unbeaten in six outings this season, will travel to Northern Heights.

“This coming Friday, we will have to play assignment football with Valley Heights running the double-dive read offense,” coach Wick said. “Each person will have to do their job for us to be successful Friday. Offensively, we need to continue working on ourselves and get better at the little things, like reading the proper hole or cutting lane during the play.”

Olpe’s defense held Jackson Heights to a total of 85 offensive yards, 28 of which came from the Cobras’ ground attack, led by senior QB Jason Bosley, who ran 23 yards on 11 carries. Bosley also posted the remaining 57 yards in the air, going seven for 13 — the longest a 25-yard pass to junior Jude Williams — but he was also picked off three times by Eagle defenders.

Offensively, the Eagles racked up 179 rushing yards and 131 passing yards for a total of 310, with all of the passing yards coming from Damon Redeker, going nine for 13 with three touchdowns and an interception at the hands of Cobra senior Silas Holliday. Olpe’s ground attack was led by Garret Cole, who racked up 64 yards on seven carries, including two touchdowns.

Defensively, Bosley led the Cobras with seven tackles and four assists, followed by Williams and junior Julian Butto with five tackles each and Butto and seniors Wyatt Bacon and Grant Amon each getting a tackle for a loss.

Katina Bartel and Lilly Kimberlin qualified for the Class 4A state girls golf tournament this Monday, Oct. 18 in Salina as a result of their efforts at the regional tournament on Monday, Oct. 11 in Clay Center.

“They are hard workers, tough and disciplined, and will now forever be remembered as state qualifiers,” Holton Head Coach Connor Bechard said of Bartel and Kimberlin.

Bartel finished the 18-hole tournament with 103 strokes, a finish that put her into state contention as third-place individual qualifier, not qualifying with a team, while Kimberlin’s 113-stroke finish was good for sixth place as an individual qualifier, coach Bechard said. Four teams from each regional, then six individuals not on a qualifying team, all qualify for state, per KSHSAA rules.

“Clay Center has a nice little nine-hole course that was playing difficult,” coach Bechard said. “With the weather leading up to the tournament, the course was wet and muddy. It was 50 degrees and windy when the round started, and the wind continued throughout the day, although it warmed up and

ended up being really nice.”Coach Bechard said the

Wildcat girls got off to a rough start, mainly due to the rain that had fallen on the area the night before.

“Neither girl started their round well, as Katina shot a 55 on the front and Lilly shot a 58,” he said of the par-34 course. “The challenge they had to overcome was not letting it impact their entire round. They did an incredible job of maintaining a positive attitude and improving as the day went on.”

In team scoring, Wamego led with a 358-stroke total, followed by Topeka-Hayden with 388, Tonganoxie with 414 and Clay Center with 445. Individually, Eudora sophomore Joellen Vogt finished with 84 strokes, ahead of second-place Tonganoxie junior Hayden York with 85 and Wamego junior Kirby McKee with 86.

Bechard said he was pleased with the efforts of Bartel and Kimberlin, not just this year, but in the past three as well.

“To see the growth of these two girls over the last three years has been incredible,” he said. “They didn’t always have this skill set and ability on the golf course. They had to bust their tails and earn it.”

Sabetha Invite

By David PowlsHolton beat Hiawatha 48-14

in the Wildcats’ homecoming game last Friday to improve to 6-0, taking advantage of three first half turnovers by the visi-tors, including three intercep-tions, two of which were ran back for Wildcat touchdowns.

Next up for the Wildcats is a road game at Rock Creek (4-2) this Friday. Rock Creek beat Jefferson West 61-6 last Friday. Hiawatha, now 3-3, will host Royal Valley.

“We have put a great deal of effort into improving our play on the defensive line,’’ said HHS head coach Brooks Barta. “I was happy to see the prog-ress. They played faster, got off of blocks and made tack-les. Their improvement made it easier for the secondary. Our coverage produced two defen-sive touchdowns. We will need that kind of production against Rock Creek. Their quarterback has a strong arm and they re-ally spread you out on defense. Playing with good leverage on receivers and getting our hands on some balls will be necessary. Taking away their run game and rushing the passer will be the fo-cus of our defensive front again this week.’’

“Offensively, it is hard to tell where we are really at,’’ coach Barta said. “We need to see a better defense to see where we are at and will probably see one this week. We are looking for our first trip ever for a varsity game at Rock Creek.

Last Friday, Holton kicked off and forced Hiawatha to punt af-ter three plays netted one yard.

The Wildcats scored on their first offensive possession on a 10-yard quarterback keeper by junior Matt Lierz at the 8:35 mark to cap a seven-play, 56-yard drive. Lierz also kicked the PAT to make the score 7-0.

Highlights of the first drive include runs by junior Jayden Fletcher (10 yards and 17 yards) and junior Garyson Booth (13 yards).

On Hiawatha’s second drive, Fletcher tackled a Red Hawk ballcarrier for a seven-yard loss on second down but on third down the Red Hawks completed a 16-yard pass from QB Brandt Barnhill to Ashton Rokey for a

first down.Hiawatha’s Barnhill also com-

pleted a 13-yard pass to Carson Gilbert as the Red Hawks drove into Holton territory. Holton’s Lierz stopped this drive by in-tercepting a Hiawatha pass at the goal line and running it back to the 48-yard line.

After that, on the first play from scrimmage, QB Lierz pitched to Booth on the left side and he broke a tackle and ran 52 yards for a Holton TD. The PAT by Lierz was good and with 3:58 left in the first quarter, Holton led 14-0.

Hiawatha started their next drive at their own 25. On third down and nine yards to go, Fletcher intercepted a Red Hawk pass after it popped out of the receiver’s hands. He then ran the ball back 35 yards for a Holton score at the 2:50 mark. The PAT by Lierz was good and Holton led 21-0.

Hiawatha was forced to punt after only gaining three yards on three plays.

On first down for Holton, Li-erz had the ball and wanted to pass it. He dodged an oncoming Red Hawk, scrambled to his left and then threw the ball back to the first side of the field to Booth for a 33-yard gain.

Three plays later, Booth scored on a one-yard TD run on a counter play to the left side of the line. The PAT by Lierz was good, making the score 28-0 to cap a four-play, 62-yard drive, ending the first quarter.

Hiawatha also had to punt af-ter gaining seven yards on three plays. Holton took over at their own 38. On first down, junior Caleb Hernandez gained 16. Fletcher then gained six yards and 22 yards on back-to-back runs to the Hiawatha 18. Three plays later, Fletcher scored a TD on a 12-yard run on a counter play to the right side. The PAT by Lierz was good and Holton led 35-0 with 8:04 left in the second quarter.

Hiawatha’s next offensive possession was interrupted by a QB tackle for loss by Holton ju-nior Charlie Gilliland followed by an interception by senior Lucas Adcock. Adcock ran the ball back for a 33-yard TD. The PAT was good and the score was 42-0 with 6:24 still to go in the

second quarter.After Hiawatha was forced to

punt yet another time, Holton senior Jake Zeller took over at quarterback. Zeller handed off to Booth on first down and he gained 17 yards. With 2:10 left in the second quarter, Lierz at-tempted a 42-yard field goal. His kick landed short of the goal posts, turning the ball back over to Hiawatha.

This Red Hawk drive was also interrupted by a QB tackle for a loss of five yards by Holton senior Conner Collins. The Red Hawks had one more play be-fore halftime - an incomplete pass.

In the second half, Holton ju-nior Ashton Schrick went in at QB. He led the Wildcats to one first down on a 10-yard run by sophomore Rylan Amon.

Hiawatha took over posses-sion of the ball at the Holton 46. On third and 14, QB Barn-hill completed a 12-yard pass to Rokey for the first down. An-other completed pass to Rokey netted 21 yards gained. On the next play, at the 3:38 mark of the third quarter, Rokey caught a nine-yard TD pass to put the Red Hawks on the scoreboard. The PAT by Xavier Oldham was good, making the score 42-7.

The highlight of Holton’s next drive was a 54-yard run by se-nior Jace Hallauer, who made a nice move to elude a Red Hawk tackler before breaking loose. Ultimately, an offsides penalty, a personal foul penalty and a fumble that the Wildcats cov-ered for a 14-yard loss required the Wildcats to punt for the first time in the game with about two minutes left in the third quarter.

The next Hiawatha drive was interrupted by an interception by Hernandez after he tipped a Red Hawks pass up in the air and then caught it himself at the Hiawatha 24.

Hernandez also picked up a 14-yard gain on the second play from scrimmage by the Wild-cats. The Wildcats were at the Hiawatha two-yard line when the third quarter ended.

On the first play of the fourth quarter, Hernandez scored a TD on a two-yard run. The two-point conversion play was no good, leaving the score at 48-7.

and boys cross country teams traveled to the Osage City XC Invite on Thursday, Oct. 7.

The Wildcats had earlier been scheduled to compete at the Sabetha Invitational on Oct. 7. HHS head coach Travis Thayer said the schedule switch was made as the Wildcats were look-ing for a faster course to com-pete on.

The HHS varsity girls took fourth place as a team at Osage City, the varsity boys took third place as a team and the junior varsity girls and boys ran to-gether.

“The girls got us started off strong with Piper Robinson fin-ishing fourth out of 56 girls,” coach Thayer said. “Eva Cortes and Brynn Schmille continue to run as the two and three runners respectively, finishing in 20th and 28th. Jayana Carlson and Grace Selley finished fourth and fifth on the team. Alayna Clay-ton and Katelyn Ingels com-pleted the varsity squad. The girls placed fourth out of seven full teams and one point out of third. Grace Gallagher and An-gelica Pol competed on the JV side running solid races where Gallagher had a season best of 28:52. The girls improved their average team time from a 24:28 to a 24:27.”

The varsity girls team scores were as follows:

1. West Franklin 20 points, 2. Anderson County 64 points, 3. Osage City 98 points, 4. Holton 99 points, 5. Humboldt 100 points, 6. Rossville 103 points and 7. Chase County 174 points.

“The boys side was led again by Rylan Pittaway and finished closely by Ashton Schrick. Pitt-away and Schrick finished ninth and 19th respectively, both run-ning PR’s,” Thayer said. “Car-son Taylor and Brayden Peek continue to run as the three and

four runners coming in at 29th and 30th place overall. Nathan Shupe, Carter Meerpohl, and Jeff Warner continue to improve as the five-seven runners. Meer-pohl ran a season best of 20:51. Sheldon Conley took second overall on JV followed closely by teammates Nolan Tomlinson (fourth) and Dalton Ashcraft (sixth).

total offense.In the first quarter, the Rams

In the second quarter, the Rams scored on a 28-yard pass to Zoeller from Schreiber and the PAT was no good. The Rams then scored on a 30-yard pass to Burgman from Schreiber and the PAT was no good. The Rams then scored on a eight-yard run by Schwertz and the PAT was no good. The Rams also scored on a 23-yard pass to Sump from Schreiber and the two-point conversion run by Burgman was good.

Dodson wins Week Five of Pick ‘Em Contest on coin flip

By Brian SandersJackson Heights head cross-

country coach Brad Alley knew going into the Thursday, Oct. 7 meet at Sabetha that it would be “our toughest test of the year,” but noted that it was a good one for his team’s runners.

“This meet provides our kids with the opportunity to see some powerhouse big schools that we don’t normally see in our area,” said coach Alley after the Cobra boys finished eighth as a team, led by senior Daniel Little and sophomore Nate Linck, both of whom finished in the top 10 in the boys’ race.

For the second week in a row, Little finished second behind Marysville sophomore Silas Miller, who came in less than half a minute before Little. Linck rounded out the top 10 with his finish.

“I thought Daniel and Nate both ran tremendous races against some top-notch competition,” coach Alley said. “Daniel looked really good throughout. He showed some nice patience at the beginning of the race that allowed him to have success at the end.”

Alley said he was especially pleased with Linck’s performance in the Sabetha race.

“Nate is really running well right now,” he said. “He found himself outside of the top 10 in the first two-thirds of the race, but he really battled his way to

the front. A top-10 finish in a meet of this quality says a lot about where these guys are and where they can get to.”

Rounding out the Cobra boys’ efforts in the race were freshman Korbin Karns in 68th place, sophomore Kryndon Proffitt in 72nd and freshman Landan Gouge in 79th.

In the girls’ race, Cobra freshman Emirson Fritz finished in 36th place, while freshman Jenn Buck finished 61st and junior Skyler Mann finished 69th.

The Cobras will return to action tomorrow (Thursday) at Horton, where they will be competing against other Northeastern Kansas League schools in the annual league meet.

“This next week will be about tapering down the volume in practice and ratcheting up the intensity,” Alley said. “We want fresh legs and fresh minds going into the championship portion of our season. We just ran at Horton, so we hope we can use our experience from that to help us find some success. We also hope to add some kids that have been nursing injuries for the last couple of weeks.”

That race will be followed by the Cobras’ last regular season race at home on Tuesday, Oct. 19, followed by the Class 2A regional cross-country meet at Cottonwood Falls on Saturday, Oct. 23.

Cobras’ league meet ThursdayContinued from Page 6

With a running clock and lots of Wildcat second-string and third-string players on the field getting valuable varsity play-ing time, Hiawatha mounted a nine-play, 60-yard scoring drive achieved on eight-yard and 13-yard passes to Tyler Davis, a 20-yard pass to Rokey and a nine-yard run by Tyler Willich. Cody Nevels scored a TD on a one-yard run with 7:37 to play. The PAT was good, making the score 48-14.

Holton sophomore Eli Hallau-er took over at QB at this point. Halluer gained three yards on first down. Then Amon gained five and then four to pick up a first down. Four plays later, Hi-awatha took over on downs.

A Red Hawk pass to Gilbert gained 12 and a pass to Wil-lich gained five. The next play, a pass, was knocked down by Wildcat sophomore defender Sam Spiker. With 2:33 left, Holton took over on downs and ran out the clock.

The status of each building – green, yellow or red – will be announced on Fridays each week and any changes to the mask pol-icy will take effect the following Monday, Davis said.

Once a building becomes “red” for the first time and masks are reinstated, Davis recom-mended that the mask policy stay in place for at least two weeks.

“I believe its beneficial from a safety standpoint to do the cri-teria by building rather than the district as a whole,” Davis said. “Right now things are going well, but we all know that cold and flu season is right around the corner. I’m hoping it doesn’t have an impact on COVID num-bers, but I don’t know what is going to happen.”

The board approved the mask-ing criteria on a 5-1 vote, with board member Ann Kelly voting against it.

“I do appreciate the fact that we now have a number so every-body knows what the criteria is, but I believe that we are doing the health department’s work. I just would rather have the health department take care of all this.”

Also during the meeting, the board approved a motion on a 4-2 vote to amend the agenda to include public comments and to consider appointing Kelli Lam-brecht to the position five seat on the board, which is currently vacant. Board President Cindy Broxterman and Linda Hege-mann voted against the motion to amend the agenda.

In July, Nathan McAlister re-signed from his position on the board. The position was adver-tised, and Lambrecht was the only person to submit a letter of interest to fill the position.

Lambrecht has also filed for the position, which will be in-cluded in the Nov. 2 election. She is the only candidate who has filed for the position.

During the public comment portion of the meeting, Lam-

brecht expressed her desire to begin serving and said she was “committed and willing to serve.”

In addition, Ruth Slocum and Brittany Taylor also expressed their support for appointing Lambrecht to the board now. Taylor said that by not filling the position, one area of the district is being “underrepresented.”

“I think we should fill the posi-tion. We need at least four people to conduct business, and I think it’s valuable to have an addition-al person,” board member Kelly said. “I think we’re a diverse group, and it helps us make good decisions. I think one more per-son brings that much more to the district. Typically, write-in can-didates are not successful, and I’ve not seen anybody promoting a write-in candidate. I’m disap-pointed that we haven’t consid-ered this.”

Board member Hegemann said that with the election so soon, she didn’t think any action needed to be taken to fill the va-cancy.

“The election is right around the corner. There could be write-in candidates. I would rather wait until the election,” Hegemann said. “I just believe it’s too late in the year.”

If elected, Lambrecht would begin serving on the board at its January meeting.

Hegemann said she also trusts Broxterman’s judgment when she sets the agenda each school board meeting.

“We elect our leadership, and we trust our leadership,” she said.

Broxterman said that each school board member represents everybody in the district and not just one area since any registered voter in the district can vote for all the board positions in a gen-eral election.

“All the decisions that I make are in the best interest of the dis-trict. I feel the same way with

this decision,” Broxterman said. “I feel like it is in the best interest of the district that we hold off and allow the election to take place, and all those new members take their positions in January.”

Board member Boone Smith said that by appointing Lam-brecht now, it could “tilt” the results of the upcoming election. Smith also that said that by not appointing Lambrecht now, it could feel personal to her.

Board member Adele Wah-wassuck, who was appointed at the end of March to fill an unex-pired term on the board, said it’s important for the position to be filled so patrons can feel repre-sented.

“Even though we all represent everyone in the district, no one knows the reservation better than I do sitting at this table,” Wah-wassuck said. “If you’re willing to step up and serve, at the very least, you should be considered. We haven’t had an opportunity to talk to Kelli about why she wants to serve. When I went through this process, I had the opportu-nity to come in and talk to the board, and I don’t feel that op-portunity has been given to her.”

Smith made a motion to con-sider Lambrecht’s appointment to the board at the Nov. 8 meet-ing, and it was seconded by Wah-wassuck.

Kelly made a motion to amend the motion to consider the ap-pointment that evening. Kelly’s motion did not receive a second and failed.

The original motion by Smith to consider the appointment at the next meeting was then voted on and failed 3-3 because it did not receive a majority. Smith, Wahwassuck and Kelly voted in favor, and Broxterman, He-gemann and board member Pat Tuck voted against.

Additional action taken during the meeting will be published in next week’s edition of The Holton Recorder.

the young Reser family moved to the 12-acre farm and ranch about two miles north of Delia that they call home. Dali soon followed, and the Resers soon found themselves involved in the Delia Early Birds, starting when Bronc was about seven years old.

“He did a year or two in Clo-ver Buds,” said Melanie, refer-ring to the 4-H youth develop-ment program for children who aren’t yet old enough for “regu-lar” 4-H activities but still eager to get involved. Dali and Colt also got their start in the Clover Buds program, she added, and it’s likely that Roan will do the same.

And while Doug and Melanie said they have never been called upon to serve as club leaders, they have remained active as project leaders in the Delia Early Birds.

“There are people assigned as the actual leaders, but since it’s such a small club, all the parents really do all of the leadership stuff,” she said. “We just divide up the leadership roles, and we have a couple of other moms that are designated as the club lead-ers, but it’s pretty split between everybody.”

Both Bronc and Dali have pro-gressed from their Clover Bud bucket calf projects into other areas of 4-H, Bronc getting in-volved in entomology, welding and rocketry and both of them getting into leather crafts and woodworking.

“They’ve done well in the last couple of years,” Doug said of

his two oldest children.Colt, meanwhile, has also

been involved in bucket calves, but he’d like to expand the work he does in 4-H.

“I’m thinking about doing a leather project this year,” he said. “But I like that I get to raise my own calf and take responsibility for it.”

And while he waits to get in-volved in the Clover Bud pro-gram, Roan attends club meet-ings with his older siblings and is eager to follow in Colt’s foot-steps, putting together a Lego project when he’s able to join the program.

Their older siblings have ex-pressed a desire to help them go through 4-H and succeed as they did.

“I’m going to continue to help my brothers as they get older,” Bronc said, noting that after his 4-H years are over and he has children of his own, they, too, will go through the 4-H experi-ence.

Dali agreed.“I want to make sure that Colt

and Roan understand that what they’re doing is making a differ-ence and understand why they’re doing the things they’re doing and the difference it’s going to make in their lives,” she said.

Indeed, even in a small com-munity that doesn’t have its own school — the kids attend school at nearby Rossville, where Doug and Melanie are both teachers — there is still opportunity for young people in 4-H to make their own difference through community projects.

“They’ve painted the town gazebo and planted flowers and helped some of the elderly peo-ple in the community clean up leaves as a club, things like that,” Melanie said. “For a small com-munity where there aren’t any other groups that do those kinds of things, it makes a big differ-ence to some people.”

Bronc and Dali also find ways to grow personally from their own 4-H experiences, Bronc gaining knowledge about raising cattle through his participation in the Youth for the Quality Care of Animals (YQCA) organization and Dali through her experienc-es in livestock judging and club leadership.

“4-H has helped me with op-portunities to get better at public speaking and building relation-ships with people,” Dali said.

Those relationships extend to other areas of Jackson County, and Doug expressed pride that even though his family lives in a seemingly secluded area of the county, the kids have be-come friends with young people in other 4-H programs, mainly through contact at the Jackson County Fair, and they’ve fos-tered those relationships through the rest of the year.

“As they’ve gotten older and into high school, they’ve gotten to know a lot of 4-H kids from Holton and Jackson Heights and Royal Valley — kids that they wouldn’t normally have gotten to know without 4-H,” he said. “Not only does that tie us to the Delia community, but it also ties us into the whole county.”

School’s varsity volleyball team fell to third place in the Northeast Kansas League after sweeping a quad at Val ley Falls on Thursday, Oct. 7, then losing a tough match to McLouth last night.

Now, as Head Coach Denise Vi socsky noted, the Cobra volleyball team — 10-3 in the NEK League and 21-7 overall — faces its toughest challenge as it winds down its 2021 regular season.

“We have a tough two weeks ahead of us to help prepare us for sub-state,” coach Visocsky said. “We will see some of the top teams in the state, so I think that will help prepare us.”

The Cobras began the week with a straight-set sweep of three teams at the Valley Falls quad, taking down Troy 25-13 and 25-18, then beating Horton 25-17 and 25-8 before de feating the hosting Dragons 25-6 and 25-11.

“That was a good night overall,” coach Visocsky said of the Valley Falls quad. “We took the opportunity to work on some different rotations to prepare for sub-state.”

The Cobras’ top players that night, she said, were Kenzie McMa hon with 25 kills, fol lowed by Kaylee Thompson with 23 and Kanyon Olberding with 19.

Last night at McLouth — intended to be a triangular with Maur Hill-Mount Academy, whose team is cur rently in

quarantine — saw the Co bras losing the first set 24-26, re-bounding to win the second set 25-23 and falling in the final set 19-25.

“Even though we lost the game against McLouth, we played very well,” Visocsky said. “We just came up a little short at the end with some critical mistakes. I hope that we can play like that in the remainder of the season and then be able to make it count in a week to punch a ticket to state.”

Visocsky also cited the work of Thompson, Olberding and McMahon on the front row, along with back row work from Laura Ballesteros and Kylee Dieckmann.

Prior to last night’s game, Jackson Heights and McLouth

were tied for second in the NEK League. The win left McLouth in second with a 11-2 league record and an overall record of 21-7.

This Saturday, the Cobras will travel to Sabetha for a tournament that will feature teams from bigger schools, such as Holton and Nemaha Central, before closing out the regu lar season with a Tuesday, Oct. 19 triangular at Oskaloosa with Jeffer son County North.

The Cobras will also participate in the Class 2A sub-state tournament on Saturday, Oct. 23 at Oskaloosa, where Atchison County, Horton, JCN, McLouth, MH-MA, Riverside and Valley Falls will vie for a shot at the 2A state tournament in Dodge City.

Cobras improve to 10-3 in league play

With the new contract, the first flyover of the county will be held this winter, Immenschuh said, with another one three years later in the spring.

Another benefit to the imag-ery is that the software program can identify changes between the years of the flyovers and identify new buildings that may not have been reported to the county for tax purposes, it was reported.

In other business, according to the approved minutes from Sept. 20, the commission:

* Heard a weekly report from Kurt Zibell, Banner Creek Res-ervoir director, who discussed sewer issues he has been work-ing on at the lake. Zibell said he is also looking into the cost of upgrading the grinder pumps to something more industrial, as well as looking into lagoon regu-lations.

* Received a weekly report from Scott Kieffaber, public works director, who reported that road and bridge crews had started patching on 254th,110th, 174th and 198th Roads.

He reported that ditching on K

Road should be complete by ear-ly October. He said he will need to order a 24-inch pipe as they are out of stock at the bridge yard.

* Received a report from Kief-faber of calls to the county road and bridge department from March 8 through Sept. 15. A total of 304 calls reporting road con-cerns were received and 240 of those calls had been completed. It was reported that 13 concerns were currently in the process of being fixed.

Kieffaber also reported that, during the same time period, 82,000 tons of rock had been hauled.

* Held a hearing to vacate S2 Lane. No public comments were made, and the commissioners approved a motion to adopt a resolution vacating the road.

* Held a department head meeting that included Kieffa-ber, Register of Deeds Tammy Moulden, Treasurer Linda Ger-hardt, County Clerk Kathy Mick, Custodian Chad Phillips, El-derly Services Director Amanda Spalding and Youth Services Di-rector Brooke Smith.

Smith reported that her depart-ment is fully staffed and gave an overview of the juvenile justice system operations.

Kieffaber reported that the noxious weed and recycling buildings have just been painted.

Spalding reported that the dining room is still closed tem-porarily at the senior center and that staff had served 130 meals through carry-out and delivery that day.

Phillips reported that he has been assisting with moving items for the remodel of district court.

* Signed a request and peti-tion to allow Telcom to occupy a county right-of-way to install a new cable under 150th Road. The commissioners also signed a request and petition for Ru-ral Water District #1 to occupy a county right-of-way at 110th Road for water line improve-ments.

* Accepted the resignation of Brentt Donaldson as a sheriff’s office employee.

* Adjourned the meeting at 3:31 p.m. All three commission-ers were present.

cost about $22,464 and site prep will cost about $3,500, it was re-ported.

District families will opt-in for the school’s COVID-19 testing. Persons who test positive through the antigen test will be given the option to take a Rapid COVID PCR test that school staff can ad-minister, or they will be referred to the local health department for further testing.

School officials said onsite COVID testing at all three atten-dance centers provides the best opportunity to keep students and staff in school.

With the ability to start providng onsite COVID-19 anti-gen testing, the board voted 6-0 to move to Stage 2 of the district’s operational guideline plan for grades Pre-K through 12.

Under Stage 2, masks continue to be optional for everyone in the schools, unless they are identified as having a close contact with someone determined to have CO-VID-19.

*Those determined to have a positive COVID-19 test will be required to stay home 10 days from the onset of symptoms and can return to school on day 11 if fever free for 72 hours. If asymp-tomatic, they will be required to stay home 10 days from the day of the positive test.

*Close contact restrictions in-clude mask wearing in all indoor school settings until completion of the restriction period. The 10-day restriction period is from the last contact with a positive case. Masks are again optional on day 11.

Testing options include testing

on day seven with a PCR test to stay and learn. If the test is nega-tive, they’re cleared on day eight. They can test on day six with a PCR test from a health provider. If the test is negative, they are cleared on day eight.

Close contact restrictions also include a modified lunch format.

*Regarding extracurricular ac-tivities, close contacts must have a negative antigen test to stay and learn every day and to participate in high-risk activities such as sports. Close contacts must have a negative antigen test to stay and learn and participate in low-risk activities on the day of the activ-ity.

*Regarding bussing, masks are required on all district transporta-tion. Parents are required to trans-port their kids to and from school during the close contact restric-tion period.

At Monday’s board meeting, the board voted 6-0 to add ad-ditional information to the Stage 2 operational guideline plan. Those with a close contact due to a home COVID-19 positive case must be tested daily, regardless of vaccination status, to be allowed to attend school wearing a mask, during the close contact restric-tion period.

In other business, the school board:

*Noted the absence of board member Christina Murphy.

*Noted that the district will need to order additional masks as supplies are getting low. The dis-trict has been providing masks to kids riding school buses, if they forget to bring their own masks.

*Learned that the district is seeking a new payroll, human resource and accounting system that better integrates with other related systems.

*Heard from Davies that some ESSER funds - emergency funds from the federal government re-lated to the COVID-19 pandemic - may be used for the next phase of the HVAC improvements at Holton High School.

Samantha Mellies, 30, of Netawaka is seeking the position six seat on the Jackson H e i g h t s Board of E d u c a t i o n in the Nov. 2 general election.

Incumbent Doug Amon is also seeking re-election to this seat.

“I am running for position six because I want to be a voice for my children and the teachers at Jackson Heights,” Mellies said. “I want to be a part of the community that my children

are involved in and help make the decisions that are best for all students and employees. I would like to see the employee turnover rate decrease within the school district.”

Mellies is a lifelong resident of Jackson County, graduating from Royal Valley High School in 2009. She received an associate of arts degree in 2011 from Coffeyville Community College and will receive a bachelor’s degree in business administration with an emphasis in human resources in December from Kansas State University.

She has worked for Prairie Band LLC since November 2017 and previously worked for GNBank.

This is her first time seeking a position on the school board.

“I believe that my passion for the district that my children attend will become beneficial when making decisions for the district,” she said. “I am dedicated to helping fulfill the mission of USD 335.”

Right now, Mellies said she doesn’t have any concerns regarding COVID-19 within the district.

“If everyone stays smart about their decisions, this will allow our children and employees to stay in the class and get the best education experience possible,” she said.

She and her husband, Brett, have three children, and they are members of Immanuel Lutheran Church. She is also the treasurer for the Jackson County Farm Bureau board.

“We’re rebounding nicely and we’re in very good shape,” he said.

Howard also noted that he con-tinues to hold meetings with out-of-district parents about having their children transfer to Jackson Heights, although he noted “a lot of them didn’t come because Holton pulled back on some of their mask mandates… But I sus-pect you’ll see more kids.”

Still, he added, he wanted to see families interested in transferring into the district doing so “because they’re excited about the good things that are going on here,” rather than the school’s lack of a mask mandate.

Middle and High School Principal Darren Shupe said that even though the school dis-trict has gained some students, his school continues to be “the smallest” in the Northeast Kan-sas League, with 78 students eligible for football and 109 students eligible for all other activities.

In other business on Monday, the board:n Approved the meeting’s

agenda and consent agenda, the latter including minutes from the

board’s Sept. 13 meeting, the monthly budget summary and monthly bills, activity funds and treasurer’s reports.n Heard comments from dis-

trict patron Mark Murnahan on how the board was doing “a good job.”n Heard a report from Shupe

about the high school football schedule at JHHS for the next two years following a realignment meeting in Salina. Shupe said the football program will play against at least four NEK League schools per year for the next two years.

Shupe also reported on other activities at the middle and high school, including the Oct. 1 recognition of the JHHS 1971 football team, the upcoming high school variety show, anti-bullying activities and upcom-ing parent-teacher conferences.n Heard a report from Ele-

mentary Principal Chris Appuhn about activities at his school, in-cluding field trips and the upcom-ing Literacy Night event.n Heard reports on building

maintenance and grounds work, technology and food service from Howard.n Heard reports from Howard

on staff PDC meetings, upcoming inservice events, the possibility of a bus purchase, the installation of parking lot cameras, SIT team training, his meeting with a Cir-cleville community group, infor-mation on weekly meetings held with staff members and a report of a donation of used band instru-ments.n Heard a report from Howard

on interest expressed in hiring a bus mechanic for the district. The board later voted to hire someone to fill the position.n Reviewed a list of “remain-

der items” that the district could dispose of, including old equip-ment, furniture, tires and other miscellaneous items. The board later voted to dispose of items on the list.n Met in executive session

for 10 minutes to discuss non-elected personnel matters. Upon returning to open session, the board approved supplemental contracts for Dr. Chrystal Buck as high school play and musical sponsor and Greg Baird as high school Scholars Bowl sponsor.n Adjourned the meeting at

Mayetta ChristianBy Joyce Cochren

Opening prayer for worship hour at Mayetta Christian Church on Sunday, Oct. 10, was offered by Tom Stiers. After announcements, Romans 15:4-6 was the congregational scripture reading. The opening hymn was “Wonderful Words of Life.” Deb Dillner and Ginny Woods led singing.

For the children’s sermon, Ginny had the kids each sign their name on a piece of paper, sharing a pencil by passing it down the line. She was brushing her teeth as they did this, but they declined her offer to use her toothbrush. She said that in some poorer countries, children had to share a toothbrush with others.

A short film introduced the congregation to Operation Christmas Child and the opportunity to pack boxes for this program.

Praises were offered for simple blessings like having fresh water come out of our faucets, the rainbow observed in the sky this week, the beauty of the sun rise and the thought of looking forward to Christmas. After Pastor Coleman gave the invocation, songs of praise were “Near the Cross” and

“Nobody.”The morning message, “The

Hope Of God In Christ,” was based on Ephesians 1:15-25. Many people believe in God, but God’s desire is that we gain wisdom and understanding as we come to know Christ better. A righteousness by faith in God’s Son is revealed to us through the gospel as we study the scriptures.

“I Have A Maker” was the hymn for communion. The scripture reading and prayer were given by Tom Stiers. Cooper Slocum carried the offering forward.

The hymn of invitation was “Lord I Need You.” After prayer, the closing song was “When We Pray.” A list of items needed to fill boxes for Operation Christmas Child was provided in the bulletin. Boxes are available to be filled or donations can be made to be used for this mission project.

It was a beautiful evening as many gathered for a picnic at the Coleman farm. It is Pastor Appreciation Month and we thank them for their hospitality and continued works of service for our church family.

210 U.S. Hwy. 75, HoltonThis project sponsored by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office

Continued from Page 1“They (the state) gave us money

for bids we got in April of 2020, and now here we are a year and a half later,” Nelson said. “And it wasn’t supposed to be that way.”

Nelson and Dillner said that the organization plans to submit an “addendum request” for additional funds to offset the increase in the cost of materials.

“We’re just going to ask. The worst thing they can say is no,” Nelson said.

FOBCR and the county plan to rebid the construction of the build-ing. The previous companies that bid the project with be notified, and it will be advertised in The Holton Recorder.

Former reservoir director, the late Lu Griffiths, had worked with

FOBCR on the project and had agreed to serve as the general con-tractor for the project.

“He was very instrumental in getting us through this grant pro-cess,” Nelson said.

Nelson said another local person has shown interest serving as the general contractor for the project. His company also plans to rebid for the project once the bid is let.

Commissioner Ed Kathrens questioned if that was a conflict of interest. Zibell, Nelson and Dillner said they will oversee the sealed bid process in order to remain fair, and the general contractor will not be involved.

In 2020, only two companies submitted bids for the project, and only one company was local, Dill-ner said.

The commissioners said they wanted to discuss the bid issue with County Counselor Lee Hen-dricks to make sure the bid process is followed correctly.

The commissioners and mem-bers of FOBCR previously signed a memorandum of understanding stating that, if the grant is award-ed, the county would receive and administer the grant funds for the construction of the building through the reservoir director.

Once built, the building will be maintained by the county, and the county will collect all rental fees, it was reported.

Members of Friends of Ban-ner Creek include Dillner, Nelson, Aaron Deters, Eric Deneault, Barb Dillner, Lana Dillner, Richard Iver-son and Rob Ladner.

Nelson earns reserve honor atlivestock show

During a recent Jackson County Commission meeting, the commissioners spent the morning session of the meeting touring the following county roads – 142nd Road east of U.S. Highway 75, 110th Road west of U.S. 75, K Road and 150th Road.

The commissioners also viewed the newly painted buildings at the recycling and noxious weed facilities and the county fuel tanks.

In other business, according to the approved minutes from Sept. 27, the commission:

* Received a weekly report from Kurt Zibell, Banner Creek Reservoir director. The commissioners asked Zibell to look into regulations for digging wells.

* Approved a request to allow the Holton VFW to put on a New Year’s Even firework show at the reservoir.

* Heard a weekly report from Scott Kieffaber, public works director, and Eric Fritz, road and bridge superintendent.

The commissioners complimented the department’s work on 142nd and K Roads.

Kieffaber and Fritz reported that the oil for patching chip-and-seal roads was being delivered so crew members can begin work on 110th, 198th, 246th and 254th Roads. They will also be patching the Whiting cutoff and behind the senior center.

The commissioners were told that the county and Kansas Department of Transportation will be doing a project on Kansas Highway 16 and V Roads to widen the corner and install a tube.

* Learned from Kieffaber that the oil furnace at the road and bridge shop needs to be repaired at an estimated cost of $4,000. He said the entire unit could be replaced for $9,750.

No action was taken on the issue, and the commissioners and Kieffaber discussed the need to clear out some of the storage containers at the shop.

Commissioner Ed Kathrens asked if the motor grader operators had hand shovels on their machines for use, and Fritz said that most do. Kathrens stated he rarely sees anyone out of their machine using one to clear a tube like he used to.

* Met in executive session for 10 minutes to discuss a personnel matter with Kieffaber, Fritz and County Counselor Lee Hendricks. No action was taken back in open session.

* Learned from Commissioner Kelly that he had received a phone call from a resident requesting information about reducing the speed limit or closing the road he lives on near Delia. Kieffaber and Fritz said they would look into the request.

* Met with County Attorney Administrative Assistant Korey Sawyer to discuss some issues with the new bathroom in the attorney’s office. Courthouse Custodian Chad Phillips was also at the meeting. A small leak was also reported from the ceiling.

Commissioner Kelly asked Phillips to call Senne Construction and have representatives from the business attend the next meeting to discuss any issues at the county attorney’s office.

* Discussed the list of items that need to be reviewed by Hendricks.

* Met in executive session for 13 minutes with Hendricks, Jackson County Clerk Kathy Mick and Deputy County Clerk Tara Peek to discuss possible litigation. No action was taken back in open session.

* Adjourned the meeting at 4 p.m. All three commissioners were present.

By Jami SchneiderRVHS senior student

correspondentDuring the 2021 spring

semester, Jessica Bryan, RV food service director, and Kim Clark, RVHS ag education instructor, applied and were approved for a Farm to School Grant through the Kansas State Department of Education’s Child Nutrition and Wellness program.

They requested funding for seven tower gardens to be put in RV school buildings to support “farm to plate” initiatives to help increase the amount of local foods served as part of the district’s child nutrition program.

“Kim’s experience and knowledge were great resources to help determine the grant project,” Bryan said. “She already had tower gardens in her department at the high school that provided items to the RVHS kitchen, so she was familiar with how the gardens work and was able to offer much help deciding what kind of project to pursue.”

Clark said that when she

saw the grant opportunity, she contacted Bryan about expanding the tower garden project to the elementary and middle schools.

“I know that younger kids love growing food and have loved all the projects we have done in the greenhouse with them so that is why I thought we should get them involved,” Clark said.

With the grant, Royal Valley now has five garden towers at the elementary school, two towers at the middle school and two towers at the high school.

Melanie Binkley’s first-grade class, along with the other first-grade students, have been learning a lot about how and what to grow in the tower gardens.

The first-grade students were able to harvest their first batch of lettuce a few weeks ago and delivered six and a half pounds to the kitchen on Sept. 29.

Food service staff members said they were amazed at how much lettuce came from just two of the tower gardens. They said “it looked wonderful and was

perfect timing.”The food service workers

were able to add it to the salad that was on the menu for the day.

“We are extremely excited to have the tower gardens in our buildings and the opportunity to grow items in our classrooms to be used in our meal program,” Bryan said. “Each classroom can decide what they will grow in their tower garden. We look forward to seeing the variety of produce provided throughout the school year.”

After the students harvested their lettuce, they took tubs of the greens to the RVHS and RVES kitchens where the cooks weighed their harvest. The students and staff enjoyed eating the lettuce and greens for lunch.

“I am so proud of them for getting this going so well and by already producing so much for the school lunch program,” Clark said. “Jessica is doing great working with the different teachers. We are always here to answer questions, but they have really taken ownership and done a fantastic job.”

By Heather HundleyRVMS Principal

We have several positive things happening at Royal Valley Middle School this fall:

* Our seventh and eighth-grade students recently participated in an opt-in training session on “Question, Persuade and Refer” (QPR) strategies which provides students with tools to help prevent suicide.

Laura Douglas, RVMS counselor, coordinated this program, and the school partnered with the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation Wellness Connection team to provide the training.

RVMS families were also presented with a QPR training event during the school’s first family night in September in partnership with the PBPN Wellness Connection.

* Starbase 2.0 is a new after-school program that gives students in grades sixth through eighth the opportunity to explore STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) activities. So far this year, they have made ice cream and marble runs and are preparing to create and launch rockets. Jenny Dobbs is the school director for this program.

Fifth-grade students will explore the Starbase program embedded with STEM tasks at Forbes Field during this month.

* We are launching a focus called T.H.I.N.K in which students are being taught to consider the words they use and determine if they are True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary and Kind.

* Students have also created a “Take What You Need”

bulletin board in which they can grab a positive note to keep or share with others. These messages are created by students to help lift one another up.

* Students are preparing for our senior citizens meal for a Thanksgiving and Veterans Day celebration in November.

* We have two hydroponics stations that were purchased through a grant and are being used to help teach students about plant life. Students in special education teacher Jessica Bienhoff’s classroom are responsible for maintaining the plants, which will be harvested and part of a share table.

* Students in Garret Platt’s STEM class are designing fidgets for students who need sensory breaks. The fidgets will be created on a 3-D printer for students to utilize.

* Several students will be nominated for district band and vocal competitions this fall. Students in our piano elective class are off and running with learning how to play the piano. Carrie Kahle is the instructor for this course.

* We are embedding

an executive functioning bootcamp for all fifth and sixth graders during their library time with Shelly Bausch.

* All middle school students will be taught CPR and choking first aid, as well as how to “stop the bleed” during their PE classes. This is a collaborative effort between our school nurse, Amy Mosier, and our PE teachers, Mara Chapman and Willie McClane.

* Students also have the opportunity to design a t-shirt that will be used as part of Parent Resource Organization (PRO) fund-raising event. The winner of the design contest will have their design printed on the shirts that will be sold.

* The school’s Future Leaders and Careers class will be participating in a “Shark Tank” activity.

* Our teachers are doing fantastic things in their classrooms, such as incorporating self-efficacy learning tasks and our social emotional curriculum, in addition to preparing students with the needed academics and learning opportunities at their grade level.

A group of first-grade students at Royal Valley Elementary School are shown in the photo above prior to delivering lettuce they grew to the RVES kitchen staff. As part of a Farm to School Grant through the state, the district received seven tower gardens to grow fruits and vegetables. Five of the towers are being used at RVES, and the first-grade class recently harvested six and a half pounds of lettuce, which was added to the schools salads planned for that week.

District Agent, Crops andSoils/Horticulture

The Oct. 5 USDA Hay Mar-ket Report for Northeast Kan-sas showed steady prices even as movement remains low. Price per ton for large round bales of native grass hay hov-ered around $60, while brome was closer to $95 and alfalfa at $150.

Pricing of these forages is based on a num-ber of different factors, with quality likely being the larg-est. Even within a forage class, quality numbers can differ sig-nificantly.

According to “book values” for bromegrass hay, protein values from pre-bloom to ma-ture may drop as much as 10 percent and energy values as much as four percent. Those value changes – and our abil-ity to know what we have – or what we’re buying/selling – can make the time and effort it takes to get a good forage sample well worth it.

One challenge with a forage sample is getting a small sam-ple for submission representing tons of the actual hay crop. Vari-

ations in hay quality are seldom an issue at the lab testing level, but are instead due to extreme variations that can occur in sam-pling procedure.

Start by sampling by individ-ual forage lot, with a lot defined as forage harvested from the same location/field/farm from the same cutting of like matu-rity/rain damage/weed pressure/etc. within a 48-hour period. Do not combine hays of different qualities/cuttings.

Use a forage sampling tool to get a good cross section of the forage package. We have core samplers available from any of our district offices you can check. Collect at least 20 cores per sample (less than 20 will re-sult in greater variability) from widely separated bales/stacks representative of each identified lot.

Large and small rectangular bales are collected from the cen-ter of the ends of bales. Large round bales should be sampled on the rounded, tight side at waist height. Cores should be collected from a depth of 12 to 15 inches, avoiding weathered portions of the bale that will not be fed.

Mix cores in a clean, plastic pail and place the entire sample in a heavyweight plastic bag, sealed tightly to retain moisture. Sampling should be done as closely to feeding as possible.

Samples should be shipped

immediately to a lab of your choice to prevent moisture loss and microbial deterioration. Mail samples early in the week to minimize shipping time to the lab and avoid shipping over weekends/holidays.

For additional information on forage sampling, including equipment or testing labs, con-tact any Meadowlark Extension District Office.

Working Garden SoilIn The Fall

One of the (few) helpful as-pects of a dry fall is the opportu-nity it provides to work garden soils. Spring can be too wet, making soil preparation difficult without damaging soil structure. Fall gives us better soil moisture contents for fall tillage – plus time for freeze/thaw action to “correct” mistakes our tillage operations may make.

There are other advantages as well. Incorporating garden debris reduces survival rates of overwintering insects and helps reduce disease issues as well while increasing organic matter. If you want to add additional or-ganic matter, fall is a great time. Lots of material is available and there’s lots of time for it to break down prior to spring.

Avoid over doing tillage. You should end up with grape nut size or larger particles. Work-ing until you have dust means you’ve gone too far and soil structure has been destroyed.

District AgentFamily Life

Our skin changes with age. It becomes thinner, loses fat and no longer looks as plump and smooth as it once did. Veins and bones can be seen more eas-ily. Scratch-es, cuts or bumps can take longer to heal. Years of sun tan-ning or being out in the sunlight for a long time may lead to wrinkles, dry-ness, age spots and even cancer.

Many older people suffer from dry spots on their skin, often on their lower legs, el-bows and lower arms. There are many possible reasons for dry skin, such as not drinking enough liquids, spending too much time in the sun, being in very dry air and losing sweat and oil glands, which is com-mon with age. Dry skin also can be caused by health prob-lems, such as diabetes or kid-ney disease.

Here are some ways to help dry, itchy skin. Use moisturiz-ers, like lotions, creams or oint-

ments, every day. Take fewer baths and use milder soap. Warm water is less drying than hot water. Try using a humidi-fier to add moisture to a room.

Older people may bruise more easily than younger peo-ple. It can take longer for these bruises to heal. Some medicines or illnesses may also cause bruising. Talk to your doctor if you see bruises and don’t know how you got them, especially on parts of your body usually covered by clothing.

Over time, skin begins to wrinkle. Things in the environ-ment, like ultraviolet light from the sun, can make the skin less elastic. Gravity can cause skin to sag and wrinkle.

A lot of claims are made about how to make wrinkles go away. Many of them don’t work. Talk with a dermatolo-gist or your regular doctor if you have concerns.

Age spots are flat, brown spots often caused by years in the sun. They are bigger than freckles and commonly show up on areas like the face, hands, arms, back and feet. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen that helps protect against two types of the sun’s rays may prevent more age spots.

Skin cancer is a very com-mon type of cancer in the United States. The main cause

of skin cancer is the sun. Sun-lamps and tanning booths can also cause skin cancer.

There are three types of skin cancers. Two types, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, grow slowly and rarely spread to other parts of the body. These types of can-cer are found mostly on parts of the skin exposed to the sun, like the head, face, neck, hands and arms. But they can happen anywhere on your body.

The third and most danger-ous type of skin cancer is mela-noma. It is rarer than the other types, but it can spread to other organs and be deadly. Check your skin for things that may be cancer. Look for changes such as a new growth or a sore that doesn’t heal.

Some sun can be good for you, but to keep your skin healthy, be careful. Limit time in the sun, use sunscreen, wear protective clothing and avoid tanning.

Your skin may change with age, but remember there are things you can do to help. Check your skin often. If you find any changes that worry you, see your doctor.

By Esther L. IdekerThe 20th Sunday after Pen-

tecost at Immanuel Lutheran Church on Oct. 10 opened with the hymn “Salvation Unto Us Has Come.” New pew cush-ions, the gift of generous do-nors, were used for the first time and appreciated.

Following the confession, ab-solution, introit, Kyrie, Gloria in Excelsis, salutation and collect, Pastor Michael Van Velzer read the Old Testament from Amos 5:6-7, 10-15. Psalm 90:12-17 was read responsively.

The Epistle lesson was from Hebrews 90:12-17 and the holy gospel was from Mark 10:17-22. The sermon hymn was “Come, We That Love The Lord.”

“Then let our songs abound, and every tear be dry. We’re marching through Emmanu-el’s ground, we’re marching through Emmanuel’s ground to fairer worlds on high, to fairer worlds on high. We’re march-ing to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion. We’re marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God.”

Pastor Van Velzer’s sermon was based on Mark 10:17-22. So, just what is this thing called

“eternal life?” First of all, it’s life. Life is what God gave to man when He formed him from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being. Second, it’s eternal. Eternal is what has no end – goes on forever and ever – which means that the death of body is not the end of life at all. It begins in your baptism and in the hearing of the gospel,

Eternal life is demonstrated before our eyes in Jesus Christ, who was crucified, died and was buried and on the third day rose again from the dead, who lives and reigns to all eternity.

Knowing that we have these treasures in heaven sets us free to be outrageously generous with our earthly treasures. Be-cause Jesus Christ has looked at us and loved us for our eternal life, we can look at our neigh-bor, and sell all that we have and give to the poor. And with His eternal life in you, you lack nothing. You are free to come, follow Jesus.

The congregation professed the Nicene Creed. In the prayers of the church, petitions were for repentance, that we may inherit eternal life by God’s grace in

Christ alone; sanctify us with God’s Spirit, that we may hate evil and instead love good and seek it always; establish the good works of those who gov-ern us; and for those who suf-fer in mind and body. The con-gregation joined in The Lord’s Prayer.

The congregation sang the of-fertory. Following the benedic-tion, the service closed with the hymn “My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less.”

Serving Sunday were Topher Dohl, elder and acolyte; Joyce Peterson, organist; and Karen Schumann and Beth Mellies, al-tar committee.

Immanuel Lutheran Church will have a congregational vot-ers’ meeting next Sunday fol-lowing worship service.

Immanuel Ladies met at the church at 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 8. Elizabeth Handke led the Bi-ble study from the fall LWML quarterly, “Abounding Love.” The mission project was LCMS World Relief and Human Care donation. Officers elected in-cluded Joyce Strube, vice presi-dent, and Marcia Coufal, secre-tary. The year program for 2022 was reviewed. Esther Ideker served as hostess.

Little River Band will perform at the Prairie Band Casino & Resort on Thursday, Nov. 11, it has been announced.

The Eagles’ founding member, the late Glenn Frey, knew what he was saying when he dubbed Little River Band “the best singing band in the world.” The current lineup of Little River Band takes that accolade to heart each and every time they perform

Through the 70s and 80s, Little River Band enjoyed huge chart success with multi-platinum albums and chart topping hits like “Reminiscing,” “Cool Change,” “Lonesome Loser,” “The Night Owls,” “Take It Easy On Me,” “Help Is On Its Way,” “Happy Anniversary,” “We Two,” “Man On Your Mind,” “The Other Guy” and “It’s A Long Way There.”

Worldwide album and CD sales now top 30 million. In 1982, Little River Band set a record for having had Top 10 hits for six consecutive years. The Little River Band was the very first band to achieve that remarkable plateau, it was reported.

According to Broadcast Music Inc., “Reminiscing” has garnered rare status with more than five million air plays on American radio, and “Lady” is close behind with more than four million air plays.

Bassist/vocalist Wayne

Nelson joined the band in 1980 and worked alongside founding members with some of the most distinctive harmonies and vocal abilities, creating the unique Little River Band sound.

In 1981, Nelson was recognized by world renowned Beatles producer Sir George Martin who, while producing “Time Exposure,” chose Nelson to record lead vocals on two of the band’s biggest hits, “The Night Owls” and “Take It Easy On Me.”

Later that same year, guitarist Stephen Housden joined Little River Band bringing a rock element into the band’s sound and helped contribute to their string of Top 10 hits.

As band members departed one by one, Housden and Nelson worked together to bring Little River Band into the new millennium.

In 2004, Little River Band was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association Hall of Fame at the 18th annual ARIA Music Awards. In September 2015, the band was awarded Casino Entertainer of the Year at the G2E Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, Nev.

The current lineup of Little River Band includes keyboardist Chris Marion, lead guitarist Rich Herring, drummer Ryan Ricks and guitarist Colin Whinnery.

Marion is a Dove Award winning producer and the creator

of all the orchestral arrangements and charts on the band’s greatest hits.

Herring is a highly skilled player, singer and producer of many Nashville artists, as well as a great songwriter. He and Nelson have co-produced every Little River Band project since he joined the band.

Ricks has locked down the rhythm section and rounds out the vocals with his incredible range.

Whinnery plays rhythm and lead guitar and shares lead vocal duties with Nelson.

Early 2014 saw the release of Little River Band’s “Cuts Like A Diamond.” The song, “What If You’re Wrong,” went to number one and stayed there for three weeks.

May of 2017 brought the release of “The Big Box” – a box set consisting of six discs and featuring a DVD with live footage from their 40th anniversary tour.

The Prairie Band Casino & Resort Great Lakes Ballroom holds approximately 1,000 seats. Guests who purchase a ticket will receive $5 Prairie Cash. All guests who swipe their Players Card will be entered into two drawings.

Gardener’s CornerThe scent and flavor of autumn

By Sandra M. SiebertA u t u m n

smells of apples.

A p p l e s have per-vaded my life. They have always been a staple in my re-frigerator. I practiced my artistic skill early in life by drawing apples.

When I was a kid, my siblings and I picked apples (green) off the trees in our backyard. One of those trees was excellent for climbing, and I spent many hours daydreaming on its stur-diest branch. When I bought my first home, I planted a Jonathon apple tree.

Twelve years ago, my hus-band and I planted almost 20 apple trees, along with more than 10 various other fruit trees. My life has been full of apples.

Even though they require some work, I highly recom-mend planting your own apple trees if you can (probably not 20 at once, though). If you plant your own, don’t just plant the varieties you find in the store, unless your store carries non-standard varieties. The flavor of grocery store apple varieties seems bland when compared to that of the varieties in our or-chard.

Last week, my husband fin-ished picking the last of our apples, the Tydeman’s Late Orange, a late-season variety developed in the United King-dom. It rarely produces much fruit for us, and since we do nothing to protect our apples from pests, they are full of “worm” trails. However, its sharp, complex flavor makes it worth keeping in the orchard and cutting away bad spots. Compared to these apples, the common grocery store apples seem uninteresting. Even my favorite, the sweet Fuji, does not stand up to it.

Growing apples organically is not easy… or it is easy, de-pending on what you expect. Plant disease-resistant varieties and you won’t have to spray for diseases. (“Resistant” does not mean “disease-free.”) Unfortu-nately, insect resistant varieties do not exist, although those that produce a harder fruit will have

less pest damage. You can set up a routine of organic sprays to deal with insects. One spray recipe we found contains neem oil, soap (as an emulsifier for the neem oil), liquid fish, kelp concentrate and compost tea. We sprayed once and decided it was too much work, so we dropped that and decided to put up with “wormy” apples. That’s easier than spraying several times a year.

At the time, we had more than 30 fruit trees to spray. Take my advice: don’t plant 30-plus fruit trees at once. Plant a few and build the orchard slowly, or stop there.

Of the various apple varieties we have grown (and that’s been quite a few), our recommenda-tions and two varieties we will plant next spring are Liberty and Enterprise. Both have done well for us, proving to be re-sistant to even one of the most notorious of Kansas’ apple dis-eases, cedar apple rust. Their flavor is better than that of the standard grocery store varieties and as good as any of the other varieties we grow. The fruit is not blemish-free, but has less insect damage than our other apples. If you can plant only two apple trees, consider these two varieties.

A Liberty tree has flourished at the edge of the garden near our house for 12 years. It pro-duces every year, even though it has been the only apple tree near the house for several years, and so has no nearby pollinator.

Because critters tend to get a lot of our apples if we’re not diligent, we usually pick them a little early. This year, however, we were able to leave the Lib-erty apples on the tree until the proper time, early October. The apple develops a lovely dark purple-red skin. One year, the apples were so perfect it looked as if it had been hung with Christmas tree balls. The Lib-erty and Enterprise apples have been the least blemished of any of the apples we grow.

When I say an apple has a “complex” flavor, I mean it has a mix of tart and sweet and perhaps other flavors, such as “spicy” or “vanilla.” Liberty definitely has a blend of tart and sweet. “The Best Apples to Buy and Grow” from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden describes it as

“tart and mildly astringent with a wine-like aroma.” I love it.

The Enterprise has always produced the largest apples in our orchard, and they are less affected by pests. We picked these apples on the day of the autumnal equinox (a fitting ac-tivity to observe the day), but I wish we would have waited. Apples on an earlier ripening variety were disappearing fast (squirrels!) so we picked all of the apples from the far orchard (except for the Tydeman’s). The Enterprise was so far from fully ripe, though, that I think the squirrels would have left them alone for a couple more weeks.

Even on the green side, their flavor is good and will likely improve with time in the re-frigerator. “The Best Apples” describes its flavor as “spicy, sprightly, tart.” Some may find it too tart, but that mellows with storage. The Enterprise apple is certainly worth exploring.

Because of the many worm trails and wounds from birds’ beaks, we won’t store any of our apples for long. I have eaten more fresh apples in the past three weeks than I have in the past year to take advantage of their uncommon flavors. I’ve already made a good-sized batch of apple butter (easy in the slow cooker), with plans for another, and my husband has baked many apples to freeze for future cobblers.

Our autumn definitely smells of apples; and the winter will taste better when we spread ap-ple butter on our toast, or bake on a cobbler crust to warm our souls.

Check out my blog, The Bare-foot Gardener, https://barefoot-grdnr.blogspot.com for more on apples, and maybe a recipe or two.

GREENHOUSE’S LASTWEEKEND of the season.

20% off remaining pumpkins(Cash or check for sale items, please)

By Ilene DickOn Sunday, Oct. 10, 16 wor-

shipers gathered for the service at Potawatomi United Methodist Church. Pastor Howard opened the service with greetings and an-nouncements, followed by shar-ing of joys and concerns.

Added to the prayer list are the family of Dianna Wilson in her re-cent death, and Sherry Sudduth as she moves forward with medical care to eliminate cancer.

Joys included having the Shenks’ grandson, Gabe, present with them for church service, and Joe Redlightning having an en-joyable birthday celebration. Judy Thoman had a fun time catching more fish than Donnie on the trip.

Lily Hall was sorry to have missed the UMW meeting on Oct. 5 due to having her COVID shot that day.

Those taking part in the service were Sherry Sudduth, acolyte; Martha Roush, liturgist, read-ing from Romans 12:5; and Tina Pugh, music.

Keith Bell provided the special by singing the song “Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good,” sung by Don Williams. Keith Bell and Leon Daugherty were offertory ushers.

Hymns were “Rock Of Ages Cleft For Me,” “My Faith Looks Up To Thee” and “Blessed Assur-ance.”

Pastor Howard’s message was titled “Company Of The Gifted,” with the text taken from 1 Corin-thians 12:3-13.

Paul begins by naming gifts. The first was the gift of prophecy, one who speaks the word of God with authority. The gift of wis-dom comes from spending hours

in prayer and listening to God. The gift of knowledge is being able to say the right thing at the right time. The writer of Proverbs states, “There is the gift of healing and miracles.”

The gift of exhortation may be defined as one who encourages or enables another. There is the gift of evangelism, telling others about Jesus Christ. Those with this gift are excited, enthusiastic and effective.

There are 27 gifts, and accord-ing to Paul, God is the giver of these gifts. All God’s children have charisma. We see this in gift-ed athletes in their performances, preachers eager to preach, teach-ers eager to teach or those having the gift of hospitality, entertainers, etc.

When we use God’s gifts for His purpose, the ego never gets in the way. Gifts, like talents, have to be discovered, developed and used. We find our gifts through prayer.

The service closed with the benediction.

Judy and Donnie Thoman went camping at Pomona Lake from Oct. 5-7. The weather and fishing were good. On Saturday, Oct. 9, they went to the “junk fest” at Val-ley Falls. There was a large atten-dance and many vendors. It was a good day for Donnie to celebrate his 70th birthday. Additional birth-day joys were hearing from his daughters and other relatives.
