FELONY CHARGE

Police: Ottawa stabbing victim knew his attackerBy The Herald Staff

A 26-year-old Ottawa man is facing a felony aggravated battery charge in con-nection with a Saturday night stabbing that left an-other Ottawa man injured. The stabbing in the 800 block of South Syca-more Street was not a ran-dom act of violence, Capt. Adam Weingartner, with the Ottawa Police Depart-ment, said. Cameron Hartman, 24, told police he was stabbed after an ar-

gument with Ferris Fuller turned into a physical altercation, Weingartner said. “I wouldn’t call them friends, but they did know each other,” Weingartner said. Ottawa police officers and Franklin County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the reported stabbing about 11:41 p.m. Sat-urday, where they found Hartman, police said. Officers later located Fuller near the intersection of East Eighth and South Oak streets and arrested him in connection with the stabbing, a police department news release said.Fuller

Hartman was taken to Overland Park Regional Medical Center where he was treated and released, a police department news release said. Fuller has a record of criminal charges, includ-ing an aggravated robbery charge in November 2008, as well as a driving under the influence charge in 2012, according to court documents. Fuller also has several charges for various offenses as a youth, accord-ing to court documents. Fuller was charged Mon-day with a felony count of aggravated battery and is set to make his first appear-ance at 1 p.m. Wednesday in front of Judge Kevin Kim-ball in Franklin County District Court, 301 S.

Miss Kansas, Theresa Vail, is pictured in a promotional photo showcasing her passion for hunting and outdoor sports. Vail is set to attend this weekend’s Cornstock events at the Anderson County Corn Festival in Garnett, where she is expected to help promote Kansas wildlife, parks and tourism.

Miss Kansas takes aim at CornstockBy ABBY ECKELHerald Staff Writer

GARNETT — The viewers’ choice for Miss America is set to make an appearance this weekend at the ninth an-nual Anderson County Corn Festival’s Corn-stock. Miss Kansas, Theresa Vail, is expected to ar-rive at the festival after 3 p.m. Saturday, Susan Wettstein, administra-tive assistant for the City of Garnett, said. “[Vail] will be making an appearance during the concert,” Wettstein said. “Then I believe she’ll be going into our VIP tent.” New to the festival this year is the Great Kansas Outdoor Fun Show, Wettstein said. “It’s about everything hunting, fishing, camp-ing and boating,” Wett-stein said. “[Vail] is very much into the outdoors and represents Kansas well, and we thought that she’d be a great fit along with the Great Kansas Outdoor Fun Show.” Vail’s appearance at the festival is thanks in part to the Kansas De-partment of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, Wet-tstein said. “She does appear-ances for [the Kansas Department of Wild-life, Parks and Tourism] from time to time so the

[department] asked her on our behalf,” Wett-stein said. “She repre-sents Kansas well and she did well at the pag-eant, but because she loves the great outdoors and that’s what we’re trying to do — promote Kansas and the great outdoors — we thought she’d make a perfect fit for our event.” Vail gained national attention for being the first Miss America pag-eant contestant to not cover up her tattoos dur-ing the competition, as well as her non-stereo-typical pageant hobbies, which included archery, bow hunting, boxing and working on cars, Vail said in a Miss America video. “She’s an expert marksmen and really good at archery — that’s one of her passions, she loves to bow hunt and is in the Kansas Na-tional Guard,” Wettstein said. “She’s one of those ‘break the stereotype’ of not just a pretty-girl-in-a-pageant kind of person, and we’re very excited for her to be coming to Cornstock.” Vail’s appearance adds to Cornstock’s line-up of notable events this weekend, including the “Concert on the Hill,” which features Satur-day night performances by Phil Vassar, Gloriana and Silver Bullet.

Shelter on alert after dog deathsBy ABBY ECKELHerald Staff Writer

Prairie Paws Animal Shelter is taking extra pre-cautions when bringing in new dogs, Jaron Asher said. After an infectious dis-ease — thought to be dis-temper — resulted in the euthanasia of 40 dogs since February at the Empo-ria Animal Shelter, Asher said, Prairie Paws, 3173 K-68, Ottawa, isn’t taking the problem lightly. “Any animal that comes in gets a full exam when it comes in the door,” Asher, operations manager and deputy director at Prairie Paws, said. “The problem with something like [an infectious disease] is that it can incubate for weeks before appearing, so we check them every day, checking to make sure the dogs are healthy and if not they go to isolation.” Though Prairie Paws hasn’t seen any dogs at the shelter showing signs of distemper, Asher said, keeping canines up to date on vaccines can help pre-vent the spread of the dis-ease. “Make sure that animals are vaccinated for any of their normal vet shots,” Asher said. “If something

new comes up, [animals] are more susceptible if they’re not up to date on vaccines.” Fever, lethargy, sudden vomiting and diarrhea, de-pression and/or loss of ap-petite are symptoms of the virus, Asher said. “If there are signs and symptoms that are unex-plained, call the vet right away,” he said. The animal shelter in Emporia, about 52 miles southwest of Ottawa on I-35, is working with Kan-sas State University Vet-erinary Diagnostic Lab to run tests in hopes of fig-uring out exactly what the cause of the outbreak is, Dr. William Fortney said. “We’ve received some samples and have started testing,” Fortney, small animal outreach coordina-tor at the K-State lab, said. “We feel like it’s an infec-tious disease. It looks like it’s infectious, most of the dogs [at the Emporia Ani-mal Shelter] are coming down with it so our empha-sis is going to be on infec-tious diseases.” A spokesperson for the Emporia animal shelter could not be reached for comment Monday. The length of the testing in Emporia is unknown,

as each test for different diseases takes different amounts of time, Fortney said. “I don’t know how many tests we will have to do,”

Fortney said. “Some tests are faster than others. Data will come in in piec-es and you’re never sure which piece is going to give us that answer.”

Ottawa High School recently took part in its second “Day on the Job” for seniors. The program, organized by OHS, the Franklin County Development Council and Ottawa Communities in Schools, is geared to help our students understand what employers are seeking in new employees, what education or training it takes to perform certain jobs and to inform OHS seniors about what the Ottawa community can offer them with respect to their professional loves. It also provides Ottawa’s business sector the opportunity to meet and converse first-hand with the next-generation workforce in this area. Our students’ interests deter-mined their paths for the day. The morning was split between three dif-ferent areas, which included presen-tations from business leaders from the private sector, the public sector and the medical profession. The private sector included conversa-tions with Ryan Henningsen finan-cial adviser; Tina Albers, Walmart Logistics distribution center; John Boyd, with Green, Finch & Covington Chartered; Sarah Gollier, The Pink Suitcase; Brady Keim, Keim Bakery; Shawn Turner, Turner’s Florist; Josh Walker, Loyd Builders; and Greg Colburn, Performance Electric; as well as a host of other business lead-ers. Our students were engaged in conversations with these community members about entrepreneurship, job skills and work ethic, as well as the growing opportunities for high-wage, high-skill and high-demand jobs here in Ottawa. The day’s second session in-volved the public sector with volunteers from the City of Ottawa

Public Works Department, Ottawa Police Department, Ottawa Fire Department, Franklin County Sher-iff’s Office, Ottawa school district, Ottawa Recreation Commission, Franklin County administration, and city administration, along with presenters from many other local departments. During this portion, our students gained an understand-ing of the breadth of opportunities in the Ottawa area that could play host to their interests and the vast array of jobs that are incorporated in each of these departments. A third session was at Ransom Memorial Hospital, covering the medical field. This group had the opportunity to tour the hospital and get an inside look at each of the different programs and what they do, including tours of the emergency room, operating room, obstetrics unit, laboratory, radiol-ogy and urgent care. During the visit, our students gained an under-standing of the different areas — such as billing, payroll, insurance, etc. — as well as the different jobs, that have to be incorporated for the hospital to function. Our lunch was graciously provid-ed by American Eagle, which then

followed with a tour of the com-pany’s distribution facility. While half of the senior class did this, the other half was transported to Car-gotec where they toured that facil-ity. The purpose of these tours was to help our students understand the manufacturing and distribu-tion operations here in Ottawa and, once again, the number of different jobs needed to make them operate properly. After the tour, Cargotec offered a question-and-answer session with all the major depart-ments, including members from purchasing, technology, shipping, sales and others. American Eagle provided a similar opportunity with its management team, which included a discussion with their safety administrator. Ottawa University followed the day’s visits with a reception in the student union and a closing speech from Derek Chappell. The seniors’ Day on the Job 2013 was an incredible success. I would like to thank everyone involved who took time to ensure our students not only had a great day, but came away with a better understanding of the community and the opportunities afforded to them here in Ottawa. I would like to extend another thank you to Cassie Myers and the Day on the Job committee, which spent count-less hours putting this program together for our students and for making this year’s event something they will always remember.

Common CoreNew education standards tout universal, improved outcomes The United States operates with a common — also known as uniform — unit of money, language, calendar, military, flag and even core values. Those core values establish our form of government with officials elected by the people to represent them on decisions impacting all Americans. As part of that representation, the National Gover-nors Association — “the collective voice of the nation’s governors” — voted to support Common Core education benchmarks or standards that students across the coun-try should meet at the conclusion of specific grade levels to better prepare them to be college- and career-ready by the time they graduate high school. The goal is to priori-tize the outcomes of students’ school performance by mea-suring accomplishments along the way, ensuring a more effective and efficient postsecondary education system. Those metrics are collected in an aggregate form for comparison purposes — just as they have been in the past — to see what is working and what isn’t working with this strategy. Such metrics are an important measure to deter-mine the states’ — and that also means taxpayers’ — re-turn on their financial investment in its education system. Is it accomplishing its goals of producing graduates who are work-ready and college-ready? If not, why not? Most Americans agree our country needs a first-class education system and that a better-educated workforce makes Americans more competitive in to-day’s global marketplace. So it makes good sense to have uniform metrics at the end of each school year to ensure students are on track. The new Common Core standards were voted on and approved by the various state boards of education — filled by those elected board members representing their con-stituents. For those who don’t remember who they voted for on Kansas’ state board of education, Janet Waugh, Kansas City, represents District 1 and the Wellsville school district; John Bacon, Olathe, represents District 3 and the Wellsville school district; while Jana Shaver, In-dependence, represents District 9 and the Ottawa, Central Heights, Wellsville and West Franklin school districts. Clearly Wellsville’s views ought to be well-represented with three board members representing its district. This kind of commonality certainly will make it easier for transient students, especially those in mili-tary families, who are moved from state to state to keep from falling behind because of varying standards. Com-mon Core’s blending of standards with local flexibility offers the best of both worlds; it’s clear not all children learn the same way nor at the same speed, yet all need to have critical thinking and problem-solving skills. State Sen. Caryn Tyson, R-Parker, illustrated this point at a recent legislative listening tour in Ottawa when she de-scribed her own experience as a second-grade student proficient at using negative numbers at one elementary school, though when she attended a different school that year the class wasn’t as far along as she was. In this case, she was more accelerated than the class she joined, so common standards were not being utilized. But imagine if her move had placed her in a class that was far more advanced — not less — than her original school. Despite the commonalities in education adopted with Common Core, each school district has the ability to teach its concepts in the manner it sees fit locally. While some states or districts might believe they have unique curriculum that ought to be taught in their geographic area, it is difficult to believe districts couldn’t agree on a common math standard — especially when one consid-ers that the commonly accepted standards for college en-trance, the ACT or SAT tests, are the same regardless of the state. Similarly, English and grammar are the same across the country even though speaking dialects and pronunciations might differ slightly around the country. The No Child Left Behind education mandate had few supporters at the outset, and even fewer by the time it concluded and was replaced by Common Core. Today’s Common Core strategy faces criticism too, and for some of the same reasons, such as being unproven. Students who aren’t good test takers and other at-risk students will, no doubt, have a tougher go of it with Common Core than others, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a positive step forward for America’s schools. A rigorous common edu-cation system is a sound way to raise the country’s col-lective brainpower.

We saw an interesting little shift of an issue last week when Gov. Sam Brownback’s Department of Revenue — the folks in charge of issuing drivers’ licenses — started moving toward letting Kansans know it is the driver’s license store ... with not much to do with voter registration. The issue, of course, is that 17,000-and-growing number of Kansans who get their initial li-censes or renew their licenses are routinely asked whether they want to register to vote. That’s a federal law — asking those driver’s license customers whether they want to register to vote, part of the Motor Voter Act. But that initial contact about vot-ing, which has nothing to do with just getting a license to drive, has become the flash point for Kansans who haven’t brought a birth cer-tificate or passport or some other official document that proves they are genuine Americans to get their license renewed. Well, it gets politically messy when just getting a driver’s license can mess up your right to vote, put you on the “suspense” list, which means you have to trek down to the local election office, or maybe the Secretary of State’s office, to prove that you are a sure-enough legal citizen who has the right to vote.

Revenue later this fall will start issuing licenses that show nothing more than that you live in Kan-sas and are licensed to drive. No link to voting, if you can vote now, you can still vote. No cross-over between the driver’s license and proof of citizenship. Basically if you can vote now, just tell the Rev-enue folks that, and get a driver’s license that doesn’t have the “Real ID” or proof of citizenship stuff on it. It just says you can drive. The closest that new license will come is proving you live in Kansas and for most people, just a water bill is proof enough. So, the governor’s Department of Revenue is in charge of driving, and this voter business, well, you’ll have to take that up with another statewide elected official — Secre-tary of State Kris Kobach. See the movement here? You

want to drive? Gov. Brownback’s Department of Revenue gets you fixed up. Problems with voting? Well, it’s that other guy on the statewide ballot — Kobach — who is causing the problem there. It’s division of responsibility — and probably by the time every Kansan knows someone who has al-ways voted and now is in that pesky “suspense” category, Brownback will have made it clear to everyone that it’s not his administration; it is Kobach’s that is causing trouble. Now, everyone probably wants just citizens to vote. And maybe the dozen people who tried to vote since the last time you got a new car shouldn’t have voted or tried to vote and were caught at it. But for those 17,000-plus Kan-sans, well, that’s Kobach’s doing now, with Brownback safely back in the business of licensing drivers and … well, just licensing drivers. See a little split between the governor’s office and the secre-tary of state’s office? Let’s give it another couple months leading up to next year’s primary election and see how wide that split gets. Probably wide enough to drive your car through, I’m betting.

Reader ForumShameful savings? I am writing in response to Lin-da Brown’s Thursday’s column, in which she asserted we are “stick-ing it to the retailer.” Her column on Emily Graves’ comp list was a bit of an offensive piece. Is it sticking it to the retailer to use a coupon? Is it my respon-sibility as a consumer to pay more taxes than necessary? How is it in bad taste to make use of a system that Walmart put into place to draw customers? Perhaps Brown should write her columns about the scandalous behavior of a giant retailer who knowingly puts into place a system that draws customers away from

farmers markets (certainly local retailers), local grocery stores and other retailers. No, thanks go to Walmart for their policy. It saves me money. The fact is that the free mar-ket enterprise system thrives on competition, and competition is encouraged by the dissemination of information — whichGraves does for all of us who enjoy her helpful list. If I prefer to shop at a local store because the comp list has made it more appealing than driving out-side the community and to several stores, then how is that a wrongful action against a retailer? Am I a better citizen for paying more for my lettuce than necessary?

Brown’s column should perhaps chastise those people who abuse the policy by lying and deceit, and say “shame on them.” But to claim that the shopper who abides by the rules and realizes a savings is somehow shameful rings false. I appreciate Emily Graves and her helpful list (which we all re-ceive free of charge) and I am hope-ful that your unkind words do not discourage her from her gracious actions. I can appreciate that you have a right to your opinion, but as re-spectfully as I can put it, I believe you’re wrong on this issue.

OU Braves roar out of gate fast in first halfBy GREG MASTHerald Sports Editor

LINDSBORG — Ottawa Uni-versity football coach Kent Kes-singer wanted to see how the Braves would react to its first real away game. The Braves performed well. Ottawa roared out of the gates fast Saturday against Bethany in Lindsborg. Ottawa scored 34 points and racked up 298 yards of offense in the first half. The defense was just impressive, giving up no points and 121 total yards in the first half. Ottawa went on to claim a 41-

15 victory over the Swedes. “We talked about coming out fast,” Kessinger said. “We ran our up-tempo offense extremely well in the first half. We put on a good exhibition of what we can do when we go fast. We handled the bus ride ... we handled every-thing with playing a night game really well. That is a testament to focus and our coaches prepa-ration. It was nice to come down here and not be flat.” Ottawa scored on three of its first four possessions for a quick 20-0 lead. “Mike [Behr] ran the zone read really good,” Kessinger

said. “The things we called were working. “We had a run-screen option to start off the game. We ran the screen. Travis [Adamson] did a great job of reading it. Our re-ceivers did a great job of block-ing. It sets up our play-action pass.” Ottawa chewed up Bethany with its ground attack. Ottawa ran the ball 42 times for 213 yards, while it passed 15 for 20 for a modest 173 yards. “We ran the football quite a bit,” Kessinger said. “They were giving us the run. We worked on our offensive line in getting good

push and getting physical. Using our hands and driving people off the ball. We did a pretty good job in the first half. We started off not doing well in the second half, but we came on. That is the testa-ment to those guys.” Luke Lundy led the ground game with 128 yards on 14 car-ries. The defense bottled up Beth-any in the first half, limiting the Swedes to six first downs. “They were swarming and gang tackling,” Kessinger said. Both sides did not have the same success in the second half. “They got better at blocking,”

Ottawa defensive coordinator Josh Homolka said. “We did not have enough adjustments on the defensive side. The second half, we did not do it the way we were supposed to.” Kessinger said, “Our guys let up in the second half. That was the disappointing thing. We did not tackle on defense as good as we needed to. On offense, we needed to keep the drives go-ing. They made some plays. We stopped ourselves more than we got stopped. That is something we can’t do. We took some sacks where we should have thrown the ball away.”

West Franklinmedals two inWellsville meetBy The Herald Staff

WELLSVILLE — West Franklin High School had two runners medal Friday in the Wellsville Invitation-al. The cross-country meet was moved to Friday after Thursday’s storms. Isaiah Messick was 12th in the boys race and Alexis Yelland took 17th in the girls race. “Isaiah ran a spectacular race,” Falcon coach Tara Huggard said. “At the end of the first mile, he was sitting in around 20th place and just continued to pick off the other runners one-by-one. It was very exciting to watch and his improvement from last year is just amazing. I can’t wait to see how the rest of this year plays out for him. “Alexis ran extremely strong the entire time. Her times have been significant-ly faster than last year and I can’t wait to see how that helps her when we get closer to the league and regional meets,” Huggard said. “The girls all ran well and as a pack,” Huggard said. “We were missing a couple runners because they had to reschedule the race and they had prior commitments with other school activi-ties. I am excited to watch them next week at our home course. It is always a fun

place to watch them run.” The West Franklin Invita-tional will be 4 p.m. Thurs-day at Pomona Lake.West Franklin Varsity Boys 12, Isaiah Messick, 19:55.Varsity girls 17, Alexis Yelland, 18:54; 22, Abby Morrison, 19:50; 26, Kara Wray, 20:58; 29, Charley Fine, 22:23.WellsvilleVarsity boys (66 points, second) 3, Chase Bouse, 18:13.4; 9, Bran-dyn Brewster, 19:53.9; 11, Lucas Dw-yer, 19:55.7; 25, Trent Smith, 20:48.8; 33, Noah Calderwood, 21:33.3; 40, Caleb Pearson, 22:42.1; 44, Jordy Mallicoat, 25:45.5Varsity girls (77 points, third) 10, Lauren McDaniel, 18:22.8; 23, Taylor Everhart, 19:51.9; 24, Gabrielle Martinez, 19:59.0; 33, Ashley Borders, 23:41.7; 34, Kelcey Nelson, 24:37.0.JV boys 4, Nathan Cunningham, 22:46.8; 8, Payton Erhart, 23:15.2; 28, Nick Thomasson, 26:52; 33, Austin Bor-ders, 28:01.3,JV girls 27, Kyleigh Marsh, 25:28.5.Eighth grade boys 11, Tyler Thomasson, 13:37.4.Seventh grade girls 9, Paige McDaniel, 6:56.3; 18, Au-brey Ball, 7:28.3.Seventh grade boys 15, Conner Erhart, 6:42.3; 17, Zach Pearson, 6:44.4; 20, Blake Ohlmeier, 7:00.5; 45, Josh Brewster, 7:51.4; 54, Josh Calderwood, 8:18.6.Central Heights boys (127 points, sixth) 19, Cole Sheldon, 20:22.84; 22, Shelby Cardell, 20:42.99; 34, Dil-lon Welch, 21:34.80; 42, Sam Skeet, 23:41.23; 43, Jake Kice, 24:22.88.

Solving Damian Dermite Solving Damian Dermite Solving Damian Dermite

Recap: Alex is warned by the Principal that if he throws food at anyone again he will be suspended. At the end of the day, Alex finds Henry being picked on by the meanest bully in school, Damian Dermite. When Alex sees Daisy crying, he steps in and tries to save Henry.

Again, Alex surprised himself. He had no idea where his courage was coming from.

Just then, Damian stood up. He slowly turned around and glared over at Alex. He too was a very big boy. He wasn’t quite as tall as Henry, but he was tough looking and very mean. His hair was scruffy and it almost looked like he could grow a beard. He failed several years of school and there was a rumor that he was fifteen years old. As he walked over to Alex, Henry was able to get up and escape. Daisy rushed over to him to see if he was all right.

“Or else what!?” barked Damian as he stopped right in front of Alex, looking down at him.

The rest of the kids began to circle around Alex and Damian. Alex stood still, shaking in his shoes. He didn’t know what to do. He often found himself acting before thinking so this was not new to him. But standing face to face with the meanest bully in the school was not something he ever imagined would happen. It was a very uncomfortable moment. However, something very strange happened. As Alex looked up at Damian, he noticed he had a very unappetizing blob of green mucus protruding from his left nostril. Alex couldn’t help but smirk.

“What are you grinning at?” asked Damian, staring straight into Alex’s eyes.

Alex didn’t reply. He looked down at the ground, trying his best to hold in his laughter. Damian was not impressed.

“I said, what are you grinning at?” grunted Damian.

Alex wasn’t sure what to say. He had played this moment in his head before and actually had nightmares about confronting Damian. He knew that in normal circumstances, Alex would be shaking uncontrollably. But, he didn’t imagine the scariest bully in Timpleville would have issues with cleaning his own nose.

“I’m talking to you,” said Damian. Alex continued to look down. He was

worried that if he looked at Damian, he would start to laugh. Unfortunately, Alex began to think about it. A small smirk grew back on his face.

“Did you hear me?” Seconds seemed like hours as the two stood

there. Alex couldn’t hold it in any longer. He suddenly burst out in laughter.

“You’ve got a little green monster coming out of your nose!” laughed Alex.

Damian was shocked. He quickly turned away and brushed it off with his sleeve.

The other kids began to laugh as well. Damian grew furious. For some reason though, Alex wasn’t scared. The more the other kids laughed, the more confident Alex became. Before Damian could say another word, Alex reached into his school bag, opened up his lunch and grabbed one of his left over sticky, sloppy, slushy, soggy,

saucy slices of pepperoni pizzas. He lifted it up into the air and tossed it right into Damian Dermite’s face.

“Kersplosh!” Just then, Principal Allthumbs arrived. Daisy

had run to his office to tell him what had happened. As he walked through the crowd of

kids, a hush spread across the basketball court. The only sound to be heard was the footsteps of Principal Allthumbs, slowly approaching Alex, and the pizza victim, Damian Dermite.

“What is going on here?” demanded Principal Allthumbs, looking sternly at the two boys.

They both lowered their heads with a look of shame on their faces.

“Damian,” he barked, “why do you have a pepperoni pizza on your face?”

Damian looked up at Principal Allthumbs as bits of sauce and pepperoni fell to the ground. Damian thought for a moment and then grinned.

“Well sir, I was minding my own business over here on the basketball court when Alex came over and tossed this pepperoni pizza in my face.”

“Is that right? You threw pizza at this young man?” Principal Allthumbs asked Alex, placing his hands on his hips.

Alex was speechless. He didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t believe what Damian had said, but it was true; Alex did shove the pizza in Damian’s face.

“Yes sir, I threw pizza at him,” mumbled Alex.

Alex was having just one big, bad, miserable, yucky day and to top it all off, he was suspended until Wednesday.

On the bus ride home Alex felt horrible. He didn’t want to talk or look at anyone.

“I can’t believe you threw pizza at Damian Dermite,” commented Bradley. “You might as well switch schools tomorrow.”

“QUIET!” shouted the bus driver.

Alex didn’t respond. He simply did not care. He felt he had already been in enough trouble to last him

until he reached high school. At least in high school his brother would be able to protect him.

Walking home down the lane, the fear of facing his parents began to grow. He was worried he would never be allowed to eat pepperoni pizza again. He was worried he would never be allowed to do anything again.

“Are you going to be alright Alex?” asked Jeffrey with a concerned look on his face.

“No,” replied Alex shaking his head. As Alex walked into his house, he expected

his parents to be waiting for him, ready to punish him for the horrible pizza incident that occurred that day. But they weren’t there. He could hear his mom vacuuming upstairs and his dad mustn’t be home yet. This was a perfect chance to avoid them altogether and go straight to bed. He snuck passed his mom, tippy-toed into his bedroom, and hid under his covers. He simply did not want the day to get any worse.

After a couple of hours, Alex could hear his parents talking downstairs. He knew they were talking about him and he knew that at any second they were going to march upstairs and yell at him. He knew his dad was going to have a big disappointed look on his face, and his mom was going to ground him forever. He knew that his first day back at school had to be the most horrible day in the history of the entire world. He knew it. . . he just knew it. But. . . he was wrong. Instead, something incredibly peculiar happened.

To be continued.

LYNDON — The West Franklin High School offense turned in a good perfor-mance Friday in a 55-25 loss to state-ranked Lyndon in Lyndon. Running back Josh Napper rushed for 220 yards with two touchdowns. He also returned a 90-yard kickoff for a touch-down. Emerson Reece threw a 28-yard touch-down pass to Matt Gray in the third quar-ter. Dylan Gates had an interception. “All-in-all West Franklin played pretty good,” West Franklin interim head coach Chris Mickelson said. “Defensively we just couldn’t stop their big plays and powerful offense. Offensively, we played well and compiled a good chunk of yards. “Putting 25 points on the board against

Lyndon isn’t bad. Give our kids credit. They competed for the entire game and showed emotion after the loss. Both are nice to see.” West Franklin (1-2) plays 7 p.m. Friday at home against Herington.

ROSSVILLLE — The Ot-tawa High School volley-ball team shook off Tues-day’s bad performance and posted a 4-2 mark Saturday to finish third in the Ross-ville Invitational. “Our level of play was much improved from our last match against De Soto,” Ottawa coach Laura Jeannin said. “We were

confident and were very aggressive throughout the entire tournament. “Brette Moore and Kat-lyn Geist put up a strong block in the front row. Our defense was scrappy and we made many defensive plays to keep the momen-tum on our side of the court.” Ottawa beat Rossville (25-12, 25-19), El Dorado

(25-22, 25-19), Holton (25-18, 25-21) and Clay Center (25-19, 25-23). Ottawa lost to Clay Center (28-26, 25-20) and Abilene (25-19, 25-17).

HeraldThe Ottawa

Dear Readers: A lot of you responded to a sound off about bussers wiping tables and seats with the same cloth. Here is what just a few of you had to say: A Reader, via email, wrote: “Even if the busser cleans the tables in that order, the next table will be wiped off after the seats at the previous table. The only way around this is to have the busser change cloths after wiping down each table, and I really can’t see owners agree-ing to that.” Jim in Ohio wrote: “I think I can shed some light on this subject. I have worked numerous jobs ... and we always wiped down the table and then the seats, but the cloth was soaked in a disinfectant solution. The washcloths were rinsed out and stored in a bucket that contained this disinfectant solu-tion — it really isn’t as unsanitary as it may look.” Louise, via email, wrote: “I was a manager at a chain restaurant, and we were required to take two towels with us — one for the seats, and one for the tables. They were two different col-ors, so there would be no mistaking it. If custom-ers brought it to a man-ger’s attention, everyone would be reminded of proper procedure.” This is one of the best ways I’ve heard or seen. Keep writing and letting me know how you feel. — Heloise

Dear Heloise: I have a two-story house and was tired of dragging my vacuum up and down the

stairs. I bought a small, inexpensive vacuum at the store, and I leave it upstairs. It fits nicely in a small storage closet that I have up there. No more dragging the vacuum up and down. — Veronica in Mississippi

Dear Heloise: I asked a waitress how she remembered whose drink was whose. She replied that she remem-bered people’s ties and necklines. I have a huge variety of coffee cups. When company comes over, I match a cup to the color of clothing a person is wearing so we don’t get them mixed up. — Joanne B., Salem, Ore.

Dear Heloise: I don’t like that the blanket size today is the same for both the full and queen bed and is square. I solved the aggravation of centering it by folding the blanket in half and pinning a safety pin at the crease at the bottom. From this I can line up the pin to the middle of the headboard and have even overhangs. — Pau-line S. in San Antonio

Dear Heloise: My sister-in-law was bedrid-den, and my brother-in-law had just retired and had lots to do around the house. Every time

he would go outside, she would call him. Some-times he couldn’t hear her, so he couldn’t go out to the garage. We bought them a battery-powered door-bell and had him put the doorbell ringer on her headboard. One bell was in the back family room, and the other in the ga-rage. When she needed him, she just pushed the doorbell ringer, and he could come running. It was such a blessing to both of them. — Mari-anne D. in Kansas

This is a good hint for anyone who is a nurse to someone who’s sick at home. With cold and flu season coming up, I’d say it’s time to buy a cheap doorbell. — Helo-ise

Dear Heloise: I love cleaning with vinegar, and I keep a spray bottle of one-third white vine-gar and two-thirds water by my kitchen sink for cleaning raw vegetables. I even spray it on the outside of melons before slicing them. — Cathie in Amarillo, Texas

Cathie, vinegar is a good cleaner for many things. However, the Food and Drug Admin-istration states that run-ning water and a good rubbing are all that’s required for cleaning fruits and vegetables. Your spray will kill some bacteria, but be sure to rinse all items well before serving. Vegetables wilted? Place them in the refrigerator in a mixture of 1 quart of cold water and 1 table-spoon of white vinegar. — Heloise

Dear Annie: Our 19-year-old daughter seems to have found a ha-ven from adulthood in our home. She has resisted any effort to achieve any-thing outside her comfort level, and as a result, it’s not all that comfortable at home for anyone, includ-ing her. She sleeps throughout the day and spends the night burrowed in her room for hours, pursuing who knows what. She no longer has a computer (she’s broken two laptops in fits of anger) or access to ours after 10 p.m. She won’t get a driver’s license or make a meaningful effort to find work. She won’t accept advice. She doesn’t do drugs. She’s never out all night. I’m pretty sure she’s never so much as kissed a boy. Trying to get her up and out of the house to do anything has led to violent conflicts. The last time I had to call the cops to mediate. Threatening to throw her out of the house is pointless. Neither my wife nor I can send her onto the street. We’ve sought counseling, but our daughter won’t go. Need-less to say, we love her. People might judge that we’ve simply spoiled her, and they might be right, but we always felt we were doing the best we could without coddling her or “helicopter parenting.” Regardless, we’re stuck now and could use some help. — Stuck in Neutral

Dear Stuck: Your daugh-ter’s lack of motivation is more than being “spoiled” or lazy. If efforts to get her up and moving become so violent that laptops are broken and the police

need to be involved, please consider the possi-bility of mental illness. We know this is frightening, and we understand that your daughter is likely to refuse help, so please con-tact NAMI (nami.org) for information and referrals.

Dear Annie: I am a retired, single senior citizen. Five years ago, I bought a lovely home in an area where I have no fam-ily or friends. I may have made a mistake. Since then, I have made no friends, only acquaintanc-es. I’ve been to church and other gathering places, to no avail. Also, there are few activities here for people my age. I’ve given it my best shot, and I don’t see any improvements on the social scene. It is very lonely. I have family members who want me to move near them. I know I could be of assistance to one of my siblings who is in poor health. However, I am ap-prehensive about moving, because another sibling who lives there is very dif-ficult to get along with and has caused trouble for me in the past. What is your advice? — Not Getting Any Younger

Dear Not Getting: The best solution would be for you to move back and find

a better way to relate to the sibling who gives you grief. Would your sibling consider some short-term counseling sessions with you? Would your other siblings help mediate? Before you decide, visit a few times to see whether this can be resolved. The next best thing, of course, would be to find friends in your current area. We know you’ve tried. Invite one or two people for coffee. Volun-teer somewhere or join a social organization that speaks to your interests. It doesn’t have to be lim-ited to “senior” groups. Friends come in all ages.

Dear Annie: Please sug-gest to “Don’t Know What To Do in Connecticut” to wear gloves if she doesn’t want to catch other peo-ple’s respiratory viruses. Then, if someone looks like they are going to hug you, stick out your hand to shake. I wear gloves ev-erywhere to avoid germs. — Not Sick

Dear Not: Dress gloves can also add a touch of class to every occasion.

Dear Readers: Today is Family Day (casafamily-day.org). Studies show that children who eat dinner with their parents have a reduced risk of substance abuse. Please try to make meals a family event.

Lowdown on wipe-down

Some cats are cuddly. Some are aloof. And some are downright terrors. You can guess which kind of cat Donna Gephart has from her response to her doctor’s instructions to give her cat antibiotics — “I’d rather hand-feed piranhas.” Unfortunately, she doesn’t get the choice in “Laughter Is the Purrfect Medicine” from “Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Cat’s Life.”

Donna knew her cat Jasmine wouldn’t stand for medicine, but she was hopeful anyway. “She’s small. I’m tall,” Donna told herself. “She weighs about 12 pounds. I weigh, um, slightly more than that.” She enlisted her husband Dan to help her, but things went south. Jasmine man-aged to scratch Dan so hard that he bled profuse-ly, while some of the liquid fell into the carpet. “I was feeling confident now,” Donna writes. “Dan was feeling woozy from lack of blood.” The catastrophes

continued. One morning, Donna sprayed antibiot-ics all over Dan’s slacks before he left for work. Another day, they pinned Jasmine down, only to have her bat the eyedrop-per all the way across the room. “We signed her with the Phillies,” Donna writes. They chased her all over the house for two weeks until her prescrip-tion ran out. “We have a few scratches to show for the effort, but mostly a lot of laughs from our attempts,” Donna writes. “And laughter must be the best medicine, because despite our hilarious misses with the medicine dropper, Jasmine got a clean bill of health from the vet.” No thanks, of course, to the stubborn cat herself.

Construction crews begin to demolish the Tauy Creek Bridge on Old U.S. 59 Sept. 9 directly north of the Franklin-Douglas county line. Crews from King Construction, which is the pri-mary contractor on the project, plan to replace the concrete bridge structure with a haunch slab structure, the Kansas Department of Transportation said.

Crews from King Construction, the primary contractor on the Tauy Creek Bridge project, organize materials late last week to replace the concrete bridge structure with a haunch slab structure, the Kansas Department of Transportation said. The bridge replacement project is expected to cost $640,000. The scheduled completion date for the entire re-surfacing project along Old U.S. 59 is set for early spring 2014, weather permitting, KDOT said.
