TOPEKA (AP) — Gov. Laura Kel-ly has signed an executive order cre-ating an advisory group that aims to improve education in Kansas.

The governor told reporters Thurs-day that educating children is one of the most important obligations of elected leaders and one of the best economic and civic investments to make in Kansas.

The Governor’s Council on Edu-cation will look for ways to enhance early childhood education, create relationships between the education and the business community and de-velop partnerships to address work-force needs in Kansas.

Kelly says improving education means not only fully funding public schools, but also looking for ways to evaluate and innovate from early childhood all the way through to the workforce.

Braves Scholars’ Bowl Team Wins Flint Hills League Championship

Braves Wrestlers Defeat Hillsboro On Senior Night

The Council Grove Braves Wres-tlers were in action on Thursday against Hillsboro and celebrated senior night. The Braves would win the dual 52-29.

“We really wrestled well tonight,” said Coach Jay Doornbos. “It was senior night and we sent our seniors out on a good note. We were dom-inate from start to finish and when we did lose it was to older more experienced wrestlers. Colton Ba-con was a highlight for the Braves. Colton has really improved his tech-nique over the last few weeks and pinned an opponent that beat him last season. This was a great win to end out dual season.”

Jesse Rodgers scored a win by pin in the 106 pound class, while Tom VanValkenburg scored a pin at 113 pounds. Colton Bacon was the winner by pin at 126 pounds, Ethan Craige scored a pin at 170 pounds, as did Bo Kraus at 182 and Preston Gilbert at 220.

The Braves Wrestlers will next compete at the Circle Tournament, beginning on February 1.

KU To Use Gift For Chemical Engineering Research Lab

LAWRENCE (AP) — The Univer-sity of Kansas plans to use a $1 mil-lion gift to establish a new chemical engineering research laboratory.

Richard and Elizabeth Hoover, of Northport Michigan, both graduated from the university in 1971. They now live in Northport, Michigan.

Richard Hoover said in a news re-lease that he hopes the lab will give students more hands-on research ex-perience so they will be better pre-pared for the job market.

Richard Hoover worked in several positions for Dow Corning, includ-ing as CEO of Dow Corning Asia in Tokyo for six years.

His wife worked for the phar-maceutical company Hoffman-La Roche in New York as an analytical chemist.

Woman Pioneers Dance Therapy For Psychiatric Patients

By GINA KAUFMANNKCUR-FM

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — In the 1950s, SuEllen Fried got a call asking if she’d like to teach the cha-cha to psychiatric patients at the Osawatomie State Hospital.

She’d danced in St. Louis’s Muny Opera as a teen and she’d made plans to move to New York to pursue a career in dance on Broadway. But at the last minute, she fell in love, moved to Kansas City, got married and started a family instead.

Although she’s now the author of three books, the co-founder of a Kansas nonprofit for rehabilitating prison inmates, and a regular guest

SCHOOL ANDSENIOR MENUS

speaker for school groups and TEDx audiences, back then, she was pri-marily a home-maker. That phone call changed everything.

“I had led the most sheltered life anybody could have ever led,” Fried admitted. “My entire family — grandparents, aunts, uncles, cous-ins — all lived within five blocks of each other in University City, Mis-souri. I never went away to school. I never lived one night on my own, and now I’m going to a psychiatric hospital. So I drove there with fear and terror in my heart, because I did not know the cha cha.”

She ended up teaching ballet in-stead, KCUR-FM reported.

Fried’s class included 40 psychiat-ric patients in hospital-issue gowns. They had not had regular exercise or nutritious diets, in some cases, for decades. Not having anticipated the situation, Fried did the only thing she knew how to do: She taught bal-let to those women the same way she would have taught anyone else.

“I was perspiring so hard,” she re-called. “I felt like such a failure.”

Prepared to apologize to the vol-unteer coordinator who’d invited her, she was told the class was “fab-ulous” because she had treated her students not like patients but like dancers.

“The idea of using dance to work with psychiatric patients was abso-lutely fascinating to me,” Fried said.

That epiphany set Fried on a new path as a pioneer in the fledgling field of dance therapy. The hospital paired her with a psychiatrist and together, Fried said, they “created dance therapy.”

No one was doing this type of work at that time in Kansas, she said. Isolated projects were beginning to take off in New York and California, but here Fried learned as she went, beginning with a talent show for pa-tients at the Osawotamie State Hos-pital.

Leading up to that production, she ran into difficulty with one young man.

“He couldn’t carry a tune and he had two left feet and I put him in the back row but he kept planting him-self in the front row,” she remem-bered.

She gave him a costume that was too big.

“I wanted to disguise him as much

as possible to hide all of his flaws,” she said.

He ended up surprising her with a beautiful performance that humbled her for the remainder of her career, and has served as a reminder that there is something beautiful and cre-ative in everyone, and her job is to help them find it.

Fried’s career bounced her from dance therapy to child-abuse pre-vention to anti-bullying advocacy in schools to prison reform. At each turn, she was initiating conversa-tions before the culture around her was having them.

She said she enters each space as a student, treating the people she’s there to serve as her teachers. Though she’s now the author of three books on bullying, when she asks kids to tell her about cyberbullying, she said, “I always feel like I’m at a meeting of the American Psychiatric Association.”

It was her work in child abuse pre-vention that led her to the Lifers’ Club (inmates serving life sentenc-es) at one area prison.

She was invited to the Lifers’ Club by an inmate who had surveyed ev-eryone on his cellblock to investi-gate his personal belief that here was a correlation between being abused as a child and ending up incarcerat-ed.

Fried asked the club members to judge a contest. She had asked peo-ple in the community to suggest ten ways to prevent family violence, and she wanted the “lifers” to discuss the ideas and come up with a winner.

“I still go once a week,” she said, “not to help them. I go to be inspired by how they learn to deal with frus-tration and injustice and learn how to heal themselves and each other.”

Her project of turning to other peo-ple to inform her own expertise con-tinues as she conducts research for a book to be titled Siblings: Bullying, Betrayal and Bonding. Although the byline will be Fried’s, she’s quick to acknowledge her unwitting collabo-rators.

“Passengers on my airplane trips have been my greatest source of data,” Fried said with a smile. “I turn to them and I say, ‘I’m so sor-ry, but on this trip, you’re not going to get to read a book or take a nap. I’m writing a book and I need your help.’”

Morris County 4-H Council By Lakoddah Downes

Council ReporterThe Morris County 4-H Coun-

cil Meeting was called to order by President, Colton Bacon, of the Flint Hills 4-H Club, on Monday, January 21st at 7pm at the Morris County Courthouse Meeting Room. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Mark Andres, Dwight Sunflowers, and the 4-H Pledge by Rowdy Ben-edick, Burdick Hustlers 4-H Club. Roll Call was “what is your favorite cereal?” and it was answered by 12 members and 11 community leaders.

Secretary Mandy Wainwright, Neosho Valley, was unable to attend the meeting, so Ella Kirk, Neosho Valley filled in as acting secretary. The minutes of the previous meeting were not present, so they were not able to be read, and it was noted in the current minutes, that they would be read at the next Council meeting.

There was no correspondence.The treasurer’s report was accept-

ed, and Lakoddah Downes, Flint Hills 4-H Club, reported that the previous council report had been submitted and published. Clifford Carroll announced that the January Fair Board meeting had been post-poned until February, due to weath-er. Shandi Andres submitted a 4-H Achievement Banquet report for ev-eryone to look over.

Shandi Andres, on behalf of the Agent’s reports, reminded members about the upcoming Project Day on Sunday, February 24th from 1-4 pm at the fairgrounds. They are still needing more project leaders to have a display and hold a meeting. Please contact the Extension Office to get your name on the list. The Morris County 4-H Foundation had request-ed that as part of the yearly Club Summary, that their would-be addi-tional points given to each club for submitting a nomination for “4-H Alumni” and “Friend of 4-H”. Not all clubs are doing this. Shandi also spoke about CIA, Discovery Days, and 4-H Camp and being a counsel-or.

In unfinished business, the com-pleted 4-H Council Handbook was given out and Shandi asked every-one to check which committees they were on. In New Business, check-ing account signers were completed. Club Days Committee needs to set a time to meet and discuss at the Feb-ruary Council meeting. There was also discussion on 4-H week in Oc-tober 2019, and it was decided that Shandi would speak with Ambassa-dors and County Leadership project kids to move forward with some new ideas.

Announcements consisted of Club Days is on Saturday, March 9th at CGES; Regional Club Days will be Saturday, March 23rd at Madison High School

The meeting was adjourned, and next meeting will be on Monday, February 18th at 7pm at the court-house.

GOP Courtship Of Pompeo Clouds 2020 Senate Primary

By JOHN HANNAAP Political Writer

TOPEKA (AP) — At least eight Kansas Republicans have expressed interest in running for the Senate seat Pat Roberts will be leaving af-ter four terms, but a big cloud hovers over the potential 2020 field as some in the party nudge U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to enter the race.

Pompeo deflected such talk on Wednesday during a television in-terview on Fox News, declaring that his “singular focus” now is his work as the nation’s top diplomat. But he also stopped short of ruling the idea out.

The interest in Pompeo reflects a desire by some GOP leaders to uni-fy in the Republican-leaning state ahead of what could be a difficult election year nationally for the party.

Democrat Laura Kelly’s victory in the governor’s race last year also factors into Republicans’ thinking. It followed a fractious GOP primary won by former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, an often-polariz-ing ally of President Donald Trump who advocates tough immigration and voter ID laws. Kobach is among those considering a Senate run.

Pompeo has a luxury most other potential candidates don’t: far more time to decide. The Kansas filing deadline isn’t until June 2020, but other prospective candidates must start building an organization and raising money before this fall to launch a credible campaign.

“Secretary Pompeo doesn’t need to decide whether he is going to get into this race until the day of (the) filing deadline,” Kelly Arnold, the Kansas Republican Party’s chairman, said before the secretary of state’s latest comments. “He would be not only our nominee but he would win the election.”

Many Republicans agree with Ar-nold that Pompeo would be a lock to win Roberts’ seat after the 82-year-old senator announced earlier this month that he wouldn’t seek re-elec-tion. That prompted an effort by

other GOP senators to recruit him. Pompeo said during the Fox News interview that the push included a call from Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Pompeo, a former Army officer, represented a Wichita-area district in the House before Trump named him CIA director in 2017. He became a trusted adviser and took over as secretary of state in April 2018 after Trump fired predecessor Rex Tiller-son.

Running for the Senate would be an unusual move after holding the most prestigious post in the Cabinet for eight months.

“Lots of folks have reached out to me,” Pompeo said. “I have suggested to them that I have a very full plate as secretary of state, and I intend to keep doing this so long as President Trump will commit to it.”

But open Senate seats in Kansas don’t come along often. Pompeo even considered challenging Kan-sas’ other senator, Jerry Moran, in 2016.

Republicans were not reading Pompeo’s recent comments as a dec-laration that he’s out.

“It seems the door was not shut. It’s really not much more compli-cated than that,” said Alan Cobb, president and CEO of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, a former Trump campaign official who’s con-sidering the Senate race himself. “I hope Mike Pompeo runs. He would be clearly the strongest and best can-didate.”

Pompeo’s support cuts across the GOP’s moderate and conservative wings, and his candidacy would ex-cite donors. As of late November, Pompeo still had nearly $1 million in his congressional campaign account — a good start for a Senate race.

Kansas would seem unlikely to have a Senate seat in play. Repub-licans have won every one of its Senate races since 1932, and Trump won the state by nearly 21 percent-age points in 2016.

But Roberts had both a contentious primary and a tough general election race in 2014, and some Republicans see a warning in Kelly’s victory in the governor’s race. Kobach had narrowly defeated then-Gov. Jeff Colyer in a crowded seven-person GOP primary. The two of them fell just short of 41 percent of the vote and all the others won single-digit percentages.

Both Colyer and Kobach are look-ing at the Senate race.

Kobach’s critics within the GOP worry that he could emerge again from a crowded Senate primary to create an opening for a long-shot Democrat by alienating moderate Republicans, as he did in the gover-nor’s race. So far, the only Democrat to express an interest in running is Barry Grissom, formerly the chief federal prosecutor for Kansas during former President Barack Obama’s administration.

And plenty of Republicans now argue that Kobach’s campaign for governor was disorganized and did a poor job of fundraising.

“No one should be lining up to do it again,” said David Kensinger, a Colyer adviser who ran successful statewide GOP campaigns in Kansas and was a consultant for Vice Pres-ident Mike Pence when Pence won the Indiana governor’s race in 2012. “This is not speculation. This is re-cent history.”

own etching. The works of the Divine Artist bring us beauty, peace and inspiration. The love so evident in nature’s beauty is a love we can all share. Enjoy the beauty of His world and the beauty of His sanctuary as you worship at your church this week.

GOD’S ETCHING

FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 2019 COUNCIL GROVE DAILY REPUBLICAN PAGE 4

With music playing, beverages flowing and delicious food avail-able, it’s no wonder parties are high-ly anticipated events. Eco-conscious hosts often wonder how to strike a balance between convenience and keeping waste to a minimum.

Reusable products, such as hand towels, ceramic dishes, glasses, and silverware, are convenient for ev-eryday life or when just a few peo-ple are coming over. But throw 20 or more guests into the equation and it is easy to understand why dispos-able products are so attractive.

Food waste also is a concern when hosting. According to the U.S. Environmental Pro-tection Agency, more food reaches landfills than any other type of municipal solid waste. In fact, the Food Waste Reduction Alliance estimates that as much as 40 percent of the food that is grown, pro-cessed and transported in the United States will never be consumed.

Thankfully, there are ways to minimize waste when host-ing a party.

• Clearly distinguish recy-cling pails from trash pails so that items that can be recycled will be collected and handled appropriately.

• Choose disposable prod-

Party with less wasteucts wisely, opting for items that have been made from recycled mate-rials. Have guests mark their names on cups and plates so they can be reused throughout the day instead of discarded after each helping.

• Keep track of how much food and drink guests consume so that you can accurately plan for the right amount to satisfy the crowd at future parties.

• Choose in-season foods from lo-cal vendors to reduce your carbon footprint.

• Offer keepsakes or edible treats instead of goodie bags. At kids’ par-ties, a decorate-your-own cookie or cupcake is popular and less wasteful than a plastic bag full of trinkets.

• Serve beverages from larger con-tainers rather than single-serve cans or bottles. Keep a pitcher of filtered water on tables instead of bottled water.

• Promptly wrap up leftovers so they can be turned into a meal for another day without the risk of spoilage.

• Serve desserts that can be held in one’s hand, such as cupcakes in an ice cream cone. This way no cake plates will be necessary.

With a little ingenuity, it is possi-ble to cut down on party waste and still have a good time.
