Bob McLamore (WY0I) checks the current being generated by his homemade wind turbine he had setup at the Field Day Saturday afternoon at the Colby Municipal Airport. McLamore said it took at least a 15 mph breeze to get the generator close to the power needed to recharge the 12-volt car battery connected to one of the radios being used.

Area radio clubscontact hundreds around the world

Each year the American Radio Relay League offers amateur radio operators a chance to test their equipment and in a 24-hour period see how many contacts they can make across the country and even portions of the world.

Saturday and Sunday a group of eight Hams from Colby, Goodland and Arapahoe, Neb., gathered at the Colby Municipal Airport to participate in Field Day, and when the 24-hours was over Bob McLamore (WY0I) reported the hams had made 1,085 contacts and had 3,940 points in the ARRL program.

The Colby hams were from the Trojan Amateur Radio Club and sponsored the event using much of their equipment and the Northwest Kansas Incident Management trailer to haul the generators and other equipment to the airport.

Helping in the setup and op-eration from Colby were Bruce Frahm (K0BJ), Jeff Morrisson (K0FW), Mike Albers (K0FJ), Nathan Reitcheck (KC0GLA)

and Ryan McLamore (KD0JFP). Calvin Peck (KD0OSY) was from Arapahoe, Neb., and Tom Betz (K0DWZ) of Goodland represent-ing the Sherman County Amateur Radio Enthusiasts.

To demonstrate the versatility of ham radio the radios were powered by a generator that kept running all night and into the morning. As another test Bob McLamore had set up a homemade wind generator and several solar panels to keep another radio going by recharging a 12-volt car battery.

A variety of antennas were con-nected to the radios including a tower with a beam, a dipole and a vertical antenna were used.

McLamore and Albers said one of the great things about the annual event is a chance to test out anten-nas and radios to get a feel for how they would work in an emergency.

The incident management trailer is stationed in Colby and McLamore said it is fully equipped

Rolloveraccidentturns fatal

A 23-year-old Oklahoma man was killed Wednesday afternoon in a rollover accident on I-70 near Edson.

According to the Kansas High-way Patrol report, the white 2011 GMC pickup truck carrying driver Justin Strickland, 24, of Burkbur-nett, Texas, and passenger Corey McBride, 23, of Bokoshe, Okla., was headed east on I-70 when Strickland fell asleep and drove into the south ditch. The truck rolled and came to rest on its wheels fac-ing north in a grassy area under the overpass at mile post 24.

The Goodland dispatch received word of the rollover at 1:45 p.m. The Sherman Rural Fire Department and Northwest Kansas Emergency Medical Services were paged out.

A reporting party told authori-ties the driver was out and walking around, while the passenger was bleeding and not moving. A High-way Patrol trooper soon arrived on scene. Strickland was reported as uninjured. He had been wearing a seatbelt.

The trooper said over the radio that McBride had a head injury but was still breathing at the time. He had not been wearing a seatbelt and was reportedly ejected from the vehicle. He was rushed to Goodland Regional Medical Center, with Goodland police stopping traffic at intersections to allow the ambu-lance through. He was pronounced dead at 5:30 p.m.

The truck was towed by Alex’s Radiator of Goodland.

The delegation of Chinese is visit-ing Kansas. They are having dinner with state dignitaries. Is this some formal meal at a fancy Kansas City restaurant? No, it is an authentic chuckwagon meal, prepared by his-toric re-enactors from rural Kansas.

Becky and John Conway are the historic re-enactors who provided this meal. Becky works for the an-

nual Walnut Valley Festival in Win-field, and John is an electrician and working cowboy. But on weekends, they become what they call the Raf-ter JB Chuck Wagon Crew.

The Conways live in eastern Cowley County. In 1990, a friend invited them to go to the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City where a chuckwagon cook-ing competition happened to be underway.

“We met Red Steagall’s chuck-wagon crew, and they were so nice to us,” Becky said. The Conways

got hooked on this unique enter-prise.

“We have a natural love of his-tory,” Becky said. “We grew up in cow country, in the southern Flint Hills, so this was a good fit.” Chuckwagon cooking was a unique way of capturing and experiencing this history.

Becky and John traveled to Texas several years to help out with Red Steagall’s chuckwagons, and his crew encouraged them to try a chuckwagon cooking competition on their own. The Conways started experimenting and cooking for neighbors.

In 1993, the Conways bought a historic wagon from a neighbor whose grandfather had bought it when it was brand new in 1910. “Technically, we’re the second owners,” Becky said with a smile.

Wouldn’t that make an interesting ad? “For sale: One used vehicle, on second owner, 113 years old.”

This vehicle was an authentic Cooper wagon. Becky and John added a chuck box of antique wood. Using their cattle brand as the

name, they started taking the Raf-ter JB wagon to festivals, historic re-enactments, and chuck wagon cooking competitions.

What is a chuck wagon cooking competition? It’s about food, but especially about historic accuracy.

“We are judged on three things,” Becky said: “Number one, the condition and authenticity of the wagon; number two, the camp and clothing; and number three, the food.”

Typically each crew is given the same ingredients and asked to prepare them.

So John and Becky set up their camps, wear period clothing, and prepare food in the classic manner using wood coals and Dutch ovens over campfires. The Conways have won many competitions through the years. The prize money essentially covers their costs. “It’s the braggin’ rights (that are important),” Becky said with a smile.

Most weekends from March to November, the Conways will be competing or simply demonstrating chuck wagon cooking at gatherings

or festivals.“It’s a labor of love,” Becky said.

“Everything we prepare is from scratch.” Beef, beans, and biscuits are typically on the menu, along with desserts like vinegar pie and buttermilk pie. We look for recipes that are common for the period and common for the people.”

Family and history are important to them. “My granddaughter has been rolling biscuits with me since I had to bring a box for her to stand on,” Becky said. The Conways value carrying these traditions on to future generations.

Becky and John do chuck wagon meals for neighboring ranches dur-ing fall roundup. “One day it struck me that I was fourth generation and this rancher was also fourth genera-tion, and now our kids were doing this too,” Becky said. “That’s why we do this,” she said. “We don’t have a lot of money, but we sure are rich.”

The Conways have been called upon to provide these historic re-enactments for many groups, such as delegations from China, Russia,

Hungary, and France.“We were told that we ended up

being their highlight,” Becky said. That’s pretty impressive for some historic re-enactors from the rural community of Cambridge, Kan., population 102 people. Now, that’s rural.

It’s time to leave this delegation of Chinese, who are enjoying an authentic chuckwagon supper pre-pared by historic re-enactors from rural Kansas. We salute Becky and John Conway for making a differ-ence by preserving and sharing this history. They are providing their guests a taste of the old west.

The Goodland Rotary Club met for their regular weekly meeting at noon on Friday June 21, in the meeting room at Northwest Kansas Technical College.

Club President Jenifer Sanderson called the meeting to order, and promptly introduced guests and vis-iting Rotarians. Sanderson thanked all who attended the Club’s annual picnic on June 13 at Guilick Park. After a few more announcements, Sanderson turned the program over to new Rotarian, Deni Coryell, who gave her Classification talk.

Coryell talked about growing up on her family’s farm, east of Burl-ington. Upon graduating from Bur-lington High School, she attended college in Oklahoma and Colorado, before choosing to study law in

North Carolina. After school, Deni contemplated staying in Charlotte, North Carolina to practice law, but decided to accept a position at the Cure and Bain law office in Good-land, and return to a rural lifestyle.

After some closing comments, and the weekly drawing, won by visiting Rotarian Valerie Rhoads of the Burlington Rotary Club, The meeting was adjourned.

Next regular meeting of the Goodland Rotary Club will be Fri-day, June 28, at 12 noon in the meet-ing room of the Northwest Kansas Technical College. Visitors, and those interested in joining Rotary are welcome to attend.

from our viewpoint...

Return local controlof concealed carry

Colorado house avoided fire

There’s something that doesn’t sit right about the new concealed carry law, but it isn’t about whether or not you can take a gun into the courthouse, its about who should be telling you that you can or cannot.

A little background: during this year’s legislative session, a law was passed that requires cities, counties and state agencies to allow people with concealed carry permits to bring their weapons into city, county and state agency buildings. There are exceptions of course. Cities and counties can get exempted for six months, and any building can be exempted, provided it has enough security to keep all guns out, legal or illegal. The Goodland City Commission voted in favor of getting the exemption, while the Sherman County Commission did not take a vote on the issue. These votes (or lack of votes) are not really a reflection on concealed carry, but are in some cases an effort to delay implementation while the Kansas Attorney General sorts some things out.

Thanks to the Kansas Board of Regents, college campuses will also be exempted for four years. Northwest Tech President Ed Mills told us there’s would be a big problem if they hadn’t been, the insurance carrier that covers all of the Kansas universities and colleges will drop the policy if concealed weapons are allowed on campus. Hopefully, that will be worked out by the time that four years is up.

The problem is that before this law it was up to the individual cities and counties to regulate concealed carry in its buildings. Now though, the state has decided to take away that right in favor of the kind of blanket, one-size-fits-all regulation that already we know a lot of Kansas don’t like. Are we so desperate to appear to be taking a principled stance against the federal government that we oppress our own cities and counties?

If Kansas knows the needs of its citizens better than Washington does, something that is often claimed on the campaign trail, than in turn, Sherman County knows the needs of its citizens better than Topeka.

You’ll notice that the law cleverly excludes the state capitol. You’ll be able to bring your gun to the county commission meetings, but not the state Legislature, the very people who are trying to control your rights on this issue.

People protest federal gun regulations constantly, on both sides of the issue, but why then are we ok with state governments telling us where and when we can have guns?

The theory of government in this country is that the people have the most direct control at the local level, but that principal is constantly under attack by the federal and state governments. However, we often focus our discontent at the federal government, ignoring the hundreds of laws passed at the state level every year.

If we are truly for the principals of freedom and self-determination, than we must urge our local legislators to return local control on this and other issues. –Kevin Bottrell

My little brother knew before I did. He called Saturday to ask how close our house in Colorado was to “the fire.”

Duh. “What fire?”“They’ve evacuated South Fork,” he said,

“and the fire may be headed for Creede.”Seems lightning had set the forest north of

Pagosa Springs, in southern Colorado, on fire, and the howling south wind last week was driv-ing the flames over the continental divide and through miles of standing dead spruce killed by the beetle epidemic during the last decade.

Experts said they’d seen nothing like it, a wind-driven frenzy that moved toward the tiny town of South Fork at a mile an hour, leaping ridges and literally exploding the forest.

Hundreds of fire fighters and at least 40 engines were rushed to the scene, along with nearly a dozen helicopters equipped with fire-fighting buckets. Fire crews stood ready to defend the town, but for a day or two, officials were not promising that could be done.

Finally, the wind shifted more to the west and calmed down some. That filled our area around Creede with Colorado smoke, cutting visibility to 5 or 6 miles at times, but it allowed the flames to die down a little. The fire went around South Fork, growing to more than 70,000 acres.

As the threat eased in town, however, it grew

in the canyon to the north. Officials closed both the state highways to Creede, known as the last of the great silver camps, and today, a thriving tourist hamlet, and U.S. 160 over Wolf Creek Pass. A smaller fire burned south of the pass, near the ski area, while the big one smoldered on to the north.

Then a third fire broke out in the wilderness west of Creede, consuming more acres of dry, dead trees. So far, however, fire crews have kept it west of the Rio Grande and have been able to save all the homes along the river. So far.

My other brother had planned to spend the week in Creede, staying at a little dude ranch way up on the headwaters of the big river. Instead, he and his family are renting a house in Ouray, to the west. He said he’d been told the fire jumped over the cabins at the ranch, taking only the roof of the pump house, but he didn’t think being there sounded like much of a vacation.

All that left the house where we lived in the

1980s and where our kids grew up wreathed in smoke, but fairly safe. The house is out in the wide, treeless valley north of the river, well away from any timber that might burn. If the blaze does close in, it and the town of Creede should be well defended.

My brother said the couple who own the guest ranch – she a dear childhood friend – told him not to bother coming to town. There wasn’t much to do, they said, and the smoke was awful. Still, Cynthia and I hope to get out there this week, at least to check the house and see how things are going. We’re evaluating whether to take her summer car and the dog, as we usually do, since realistically, we may not be able to stay in the fire zone.

It seems odd, having the center of a national news event someplace too close to our hearts, but the fire itself seemed inevitable, the result of more than a century of fire suppression, leading to an over mature forest that had to die somehow.

And while many government officials pooh-poohed the danger, that standing dead spruce had to burn sometime. The expense will be horrendous, both for fighting the fire and to the small business owners who will lose much of a summer’s revenue, but Nature will regrow the forest. That’s how she works.

The immigration debate has begun in Wash-ington, D.C., and not a moment too soon. It is past time our failed immigration and guest-worker program was fixed.

Too often, “immigration” is used as a bad word. The truth of the matter is, a reliable guest-worker program makes sense for Kansas farmers and ranchers, our communities and our food system.

Farmers and ranchers face a shortage of workers who are willing and able to work on farms and in fields. Most U.S. residents don’t find these jobs attractive; yet for many pro-spective workers from other countries, these jobs present real economic opportunities.

Immigration is directly responsible for about 8 percent of the Kansas economy. Every job held by an immigrant, on average, equates to nearly one additional job created in the state. Furthermore, Kansans should not fear losing work to immigrants. If every unemployed non-immigrant in our state were to be immediately employed, there would still be roughly 50,000 jobs available.

This state has a long history of utilizing workers from other countries, even other states. Folks from Missouri and Arkansas

have helped harvest Kansas wheat since be-fore World War II. A handful of Aussies from “Down Under” have also been known to show up as harvest help.

Workers from Mexico showed up in south-western Kansas in the ‘50s to help with the fledgling irrigation crops. Shortly after, they became heavily involved in the feedlot and packing industries in this region of our state.

This same minority came to northwestern Kansas where I grew up at the start of the ‘60s. In Sherman and Sheridan counties they hoed weeds in the sugar beet fields.

Today, some workers from South Africa are working the fields of northwestern Kansas and plenty of people from south of the border still provide a needed labor force for the Sunflower State.

It’s past time for this country to figure out a workable immigration policy. One that will

benefit our country and those willing to come to these United States and provide valuable labor.

The U.S. Senate is now debating an im-migration bill that deals responsibly with our existing workforce, gives farmers and ranch-ers access to a usable, legal, stable supply of workers and addresses border security and employer enforcement.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office recently released a report stating the Senate’s immigration bill could save our nation up to $197 billion during the next 10 years and an additional $700 billion in the decade to fol-low. The report also said the legislation would increase real U.S. gross domestic product by 3.3 percent through 2023 due to the influx of new workers.

As we struggle to pull ourselves out of the Great Recession, can we Americans afford to ignore the economic and social benefits that will come with immigration reform?

Immigration reform is right for the economy, for the business community, and for im-migrants who follow us in their hopes for a better life.

Immigration reform now

Insightthis week• john schlageck

My son tried to trim his toenails with a lawn-mower about three weeks ago.

This was not a good choice.He was mowing a friends’ lawn when he had

to go around a big rock. He pulled the mower back and took a step back and fell backwards over a short fence his friend had put up to keep his dogs in.

As he fell, son said, he grabbed out to catch himself. Unfortunately, the only thing there was to grab was the lawnmower, which he pulled over his left foot.

After looking down and thinking to himself, “Please, Lord, tell me I didn’t just pull a lawn-mower over my foot,” he pulled out his cell phone and called 911.

He called us from the hospital.“Mom, I sort of had an accident,” he said.His Dad left the next day for Lawrence.

There wasn’t much he could do but he did feed the cat and take stuff to the hospital.

Son was in surgery for two and one-half hours, while the doctors took grass and dirt out of his foot. He was in the hospital for four

days and had a second surgery to make sure there was no infection. They removed the top third of his big toe and the one next to it and pinned a third broken toe, that was in somewhat better shape.

Then he went home with a pair of crutches. I showed up the next day. Like his father, there wasn’t a lot I could

do. I took him to the doctor and took a photo of his damaged foot. I did not put that photo on Facebook and have not shared it with very many people but I did want him to have a record of what his foot looks like.

I also got him a disability tag and left him my car since his truck has a clutch and that’s a little hard to manage with a damaged left foot.

His friends have come to the rescue, fer-rying him to the doctor, the drug store and to get groceries. They’ve made him cookies and quiche and soup.

Last week he went back to the doctor and got a walking boot so he now only has one light crutch but it’s still hard to get around much.

He’s doing well and hopes to get back to work soon but it’s hard. He’s a bartender and they have to be on their feet pretty much their whole shift.

On a lighter note, his friend claims that the dog got out through the broken fence, found son’s toenail out in the yard and brought it home.

Son claims, with a smile, that the dog has been after him for years.

I guess I need to go back to Lawrence and see if I can find a loud wristwatch.

Then all I have to do is get the dog to swal-low the watch.

Hey, it worked for Captain Hook.

to handle all communications in an emergency condition. He said the trailer has been used for a health event in Cheyenne County.

Morrison and Frahm spent most of their efforts making contacts using morse code, known as CW. The other radio operators used mi-crophones to call and make contact with stations. To make a contact the radio operator had to get the station’s call sign that for the Colby group was NW0K, get a classifica-tion report and the state code for each contact. The classification for the Colby group was 2A meaning they had two stations operating on generated power. The state code is KS for Kansas.

Field Day is the climax of the week long “Amateur Radio Week” sponsored by the American Radio Relay League. Using only emergen-cy power supplies, ham operators will construct emergency stations

in parks, shopping malls, schools and backyards around the country. Their slogan, “When All Else Fails, Ham Radio Works” is more than just words to the hams as they prove they can send messages in many forms without the use of phone systems, internet or any other infrastructure that can be compromised in a crisis.

“We were disappointed we did not get the number of contacts this year,” said president McLemore. “We had 1,365 two-way contacts last year and finished second to the large Johnson County club which used three transmitters. He said the total contacts this year was 1,085 with 3,940 points, and it will be in-teresting to see in a few months how the Colby club finished this year.

“That is part of the fun,” Frahm said. “Each year is different, but the basic idea remains the same – have a fun weekend with friends and see where the magic of radio communi-cations will take you.”

the McLemores; Larry Booth; and the Sappa Strings.

“We seem to upgrade every year to bigger and better acts,” said organizer Jo Booth.

The festival will also feature jam sessions, workshops, youth activities, food and craft ven-dors and a Sunday homecoming gospel show.

“We have a showcase for young instrumen-talists who want to perform on Saturday morn-ing at 10 a.m., followed by the open stage where anyone who wants to perform can,” said Booth. Thursday night features a potluck supper and campfire jam session.

Show times are 6 p.m. Friday, noon and 5:15 p.m. Saturday and 9:30 a.m. Sunday.

Tickets are available at Farmers and Mer-chants Bank, Dillons and the Colby Convention and Visitors Bureau. Prices are $40 for the en-tire weekend, or $35 in advance, $20 for Friday night or Saturday night only, $25 for all day Saturday, $15 for Sunday and $10 for youths 12 to 16. Children under 12 are free with an adult.

Insurance for all your needs

Most of us have some type of insurance. Health...auto...business...no matter what type of insurance you are applying for, it’s always in your best interest to shop around for the most competitive rate. Those rates will vary from company to company, so look for an insurance company that will provide a good price, along with excellent service. We’ve gathered some great information to take into consideration when making your decision about insurance.

INSURANCE COMPANIES

AUTO INSURANCE:

1. Never let policy lapse. You could end up paying more as some companies may consider you risky or irresponsible.2. Higher deductible could mean lower premium. If you are willing to pay more out of pocket if an ac-cident does happen, your insurance company will usually give you a lower monthly premium.3. Double check for possible discounts. Safe driving record; anti-theft devices; making payments electronically. There are so many discounts that companies offer their clients that it can pay off if you double check your policy to make sure you’re getting all you deserve.4. Your car affects your rate. Drive a fast sports car? Get ready for a higher insurance rate. Drive a family-friendly mini-van? There’s a good chance you may get cheaper insurance rates. The safety and reliablity of the model of vehicle you insure is a factor for insurance companies when writing you a quote.

HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE:

1. How is your home constructed? Your type of home construction affects insurance prices. Frame houses will usually be more expensive to insure than a brick home. Your house with wood shingles will most likely cost you more than a home with composition shingles.2. Community firefighting ability affects rate. Your address is assigned a fire-protection class rat-ing, ranging from 1-10, with 1 being the best protect. These ratings are based on city water supply, building codes, equipement of fire department and the quality of the department.3. Age of home. Some companies give discounts for a new-build home, while some insurance companies may only offer you limited coverage on old homes.4. Maintain upkeep of home. Don’t let your home go to waste! If you don’t upkeep your home, your insurance company may not offer a renewal, as you may seem too big a risk to insure.

RENTERS INSURANCE:

1. It’s surprisingly cheap! Less than half of all renters have renters insurance. Therefore they have absolutely no coverage for their personal belongings in the case of fire, burglary, etc. The average renter’s policy costs between $15-$30 month, which is af-fordable protection for the average renter.2. Review, review, review. It is vitally important to know what your insurance policy will and won’t cover. If your policy doesn’t cover something, it may mean you should purchase additional coverage.3. Amount of coverage varies. Not everybody has the same belongings, all worth the same value. It’s important to know the value of all your items, that way you aren’t over/under paying for renter’s insurance.4. Fido could affect your rate. Dog breeds that may be more aggressive in nature are mostly considered an additional liability that you get to insure. Sometimes, depending on the breed, a separate insurance policy may be needed.

By Kay MeliaThe Gardener

vkmelia@yahoo.comI suppose there are very few people out there

who make a habit of just sitting around thinking about carrots. But, if for any reason you do, you probably think about the classically shaped , long, tapering, pointy, orange root that Bugs Bunny has been seen chomping on for decades. But guess what, Doc! Those long pointed type of carrots are NOT the really sweet ones! Don’t settle for wabbit food, especially when it’s easier to grow sweeter ones in your backyard garden.

So you might say “Alright bunny breath. Just what are the sweetest and tastiest kind of carrots?” Before I reveal the secret, you should know that there are actually two “types” of carrots.

Actually, the most popular carrot purchase at the store is the small pre-packaged bag of perfectly shaped, machine formed carrots that are ready to eat. But you can’t grow that kind in your garden. And you’ll pay a high price for them. The common kind of carrot you see tied in bunches with their tops still on are nearly always the cheapest to buy, and they are the

“Chantenay” type.The other type is the “Nantes” type, and more

and more garden catalogs these days are featur-ing the Nantes type of seed. Nantes types are much shorter carrots and have blunt ends, not pointy ones.

In answer to the above question, those who deal closely with the development of good car-rots generally agree that the Nantes blunt end models are much sweeter, and have much better carrot flavor than the Chantenays. Not only that, but Nantes type carrots are easier to grow in most soils because of their blunt ends, while the Chan-tenay’s force their roots deeper and are many times misshapen by rocks or other impediments.

Alright, we have more or less established that the Nantes types are sweeter than the Chan-tenays, so lets dig a little deeper and suggest what variety of carrot, naturally a Nantes type,

tops the list of backyard gardeners.The general feeling among those who know

carrots best is that one called Touchon is the best carrot for you to grow, and everyone should hurry down to the store and pick up a packet of Touchon seed this afternoon. Touchon carrots mature at 6 to 7 inches long in about 65 days, and are a French variety. Touchon is also an heirloom, and those who grow them are particularly passionate about their positively pronounced sweetness.

Another noticeably sweeter carrot is one called Sweetness III. It is extra crispy, crunchy, and juicier than most. It is also the best selling carrot seed packet on the market.

My favorite carrot is one called YaYa, which I believe to have more absolute true carrot fla-vor. It may not be quite as sweet as Touchon or Sweetness III, but I believe that if Bugs Bunny ever takes time and makes the effort to find the best, he, too will choose YaYa! I also like them because I just like to say their name!

Of one thing I am convinced; when choosing a carrot variety to plant in your garden, always choose a Nantes type instead of a Chantenay In this case, smaller is better.

Don’t settle for ordinary carrotsHow healthyare my trees?

One of the most important clues in determining the health of your trees is the amount of new growth that tree produces. A healthy tree should have a minimum of four to six inches of new growth each year. Check branches with the tips in the open and not shaded by the tree itself. Anything less than four inches on the majority of branches suggests the tree is un-der a great deal of stress.

So how do you tell where the new growth stops?

Look for a color change in the stem. New growth is often greener than that from the previ-ous year.

There is also often an area of what looks like compressed growth where growth transitions from one year to the next.

Lastly, look at leaf attachment. Leaves are only produced on cur-rent season’s growth. Therefore, new growth stops where leaves are no longer attached directly to the twig but to side branches. However, pay attention as leaves may be appear to be attached directly to last year’s growth but

are actually borne on short spurs. If you look closely, you can tell the difference.

All this clue tells you is whether a tree is under stress or not. It does not tell you what is causing poor growth. This year, the most common cause by far is envi-ronmental stress caused by the warm, dry winter of 2011-2012 and the drought and hot summer temperatures the previous two summers. Those conditions often resulted in damaged root systems. In some cases, root systems were damaged enough that those trees may struggle as we enter summer. Though the roots were able to keep up with moisture demands during the cooler spring weather, they may not be able to as temper-atures rise. Such trees may sud-denly collapse and die or slough off branches they can no longer support. If possible, water to a depth of 12 inches every couple of weeks we do not receive rain in order to avoid further stress.

Baseball teamgoes undefeated

The Goodland 12 and Under Rough Riders baseball team finished their season with an undefeated record.

The Rough Riders are part of the Cal Ripken League in the East Central Division. They began practicing on April 26 and had their first game in Burlington on May 11. They went into their tour-nament the week of June 10 hav-ing won every game this season.

At the tournament, the Rough Riders won in Burlington on June 11 and again in Stratton on June 14 to claim the division title.

The East Central Division

includes two teams from Burling-ton as well as Goodland, Stratton and Flagler.

Several Rough Riders will now have the chance to play in the Cal Ripken LeagueAll-Star Game.

The team includes: Jacob De-LaRosa, Luke Hamilton, Levi Stasser, Mark Rodriguez, Dalton Belshe, Joseph Mann, Austin Gamboa, Truman Hooker, Isaac Rodriguez, Ethan Wolf, Bryce Belshe, Manten Crow, Hunter Helton, Garrett Helton and Henry Cole. Coaches are Kendall Helton and Damon Belshe.

The Goodland K-18 baseball team has been having a great season so far.

In their first games of the season on June 3, Goodland beat Atwood in a home double header, both games ending in three innings with a score of 16-1.

On June 17, Goodland fell to Oakley 4-2 in game one, but battled back to a 13-11 victory in game two.

In game one, Oakley scored three runs in the first inning. Goodland went down in order, but was able to score one run in the second. The boys struggled in the third and fourth innings, while Oakley ex-tended their lead to 4-1. Goodland scored one more run in the fifth in-ning on a single by Evan Peter, but they couldn’t overcome Oakley’s lead.

Game two was a different story. Goodland jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first. Oakley tied things up in the third, but Goodland pulled ahead again 6-2 in the top of the fourth.

Oakley put one run across in the bottom of the fourth, two in the fifth and one in the sixth to tie the game

6-6. The score remained tied 6-6 at the end of the seventh, putting the game into extra innings. Each team scored once in the eighth inning, then Goodland found a second wind, putting across six runs in the top of the ninth. Oakley put up a fight in the bottom half of the inning, scoring four runs, but they couldn’t overcome Goodland’s lead.

On June 20, Goodland defeated WaKeeney 16-1 in game one of a double header. The boys got out to an early 2-0 lead in the first then opened up the taps, scoring five runs in the second and nine in the third.

The only run given up to WaKee-ney came in the third inning, but the damage had been done. The game ended due to the run rule.

In game two, Goodland was once again dominant, getting a 15-0 shut-out. After getting a 2-0 lead in the first, the boys had a massive 13-run second inning. They scored another two in the third, all the while giving up no runs and striking out four.

The team played against Colby on Tuesday, and is scheduled to play at home against Oakley on Monday.
