With a successful cam-

This year’s pumpkinpatch auction will benefitKim Ketzner of Atwood.Kim is a part-time employee atWee Care Day-care in Atwood,which is ownedby her daughterAmber Timm.“I don’t know

where I would bewithout Amber’shelp,” Kim said. Kim is in seri-

ous need of a bi-lateral hip replacement. Kimexperiences pain on a dailybasis and is almost alwaysbound to her home.

“The trouble with my hipsdoesn’t allow me to get outmuch,” Kim said. “It alsokeeps me from doing any otherwork than at the daycare.”

Not only is thesurgery expen-sive, but the re-covery isextensive andKim will need totake care of livingcosts while shetravels the longroad of recovery.Although Kim

has spent a lot oftime praying for a

Bid at the Hayden’s annual auction —

Pumpkins, pies, bring community togetherBy Lesley Crowe

The date is set for the Third AnnualHayden Pumpkin Patch. Paul and TaraHayden are inviting families fromRawlins County and the surroundingcommunities to come to their homewest of Atwood on the Beaver Creekroad (see ad in this issue for directions)at 3 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 12 for an after-noon of fall fun. Once again, children will race to

claim their prize pumpkins, partici-pate in games and enjoy made-from-scratch pumpkin pie and apple crisp.This year, Tara and her three-genera-tional group of bakers plan to make atleast 60 scratch-made pies as well as abunch of apple crisps.“All of the baking is done the day be-

fore. We will work from about 9 a.m. to10 p.m. in my kitchen to get everythingdone,” Tara said. Tara explained that this year will

be bitter sweet for her as her grand-mother, the late Dorothy A. Reinert,will not be here to participate in thebake-a-thon.

“My grandmother was the main piebaker and if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’teven know how to make a pie,” Tara said. The culmination of the event will be

the auction, led by Rocky Hayes, of theremaining baked goods, and the pro-ceeds will go to Kim Ketzner, Atwoodlocal, who is in desperate need of a dou-ble hip replacement (see sidebar). “While working in the pumpkin

patch, I spent time thinking and pray-ing about who we would want this [theauction] to benefit,” Tara said.She explained a few people sug-

gested to her that Kim would greatlybenefit from the auction. Kim and Taraare close friends and when her namecame up, the idea just stuck.“Sometimes we forget there are

adults out there who need a leg up,”Tara said. Tara’s hopes are high for this year’s

auction. Last year, between the pie auc-tion and donation jar, proceeds of $6,896went to benefit the Jason Moore family. “Paul and I plan on matching up to

$1,500 again this year,” Tara said. This event is for everyone including

families, kids and individuals, Tarasaid. She encourges everyone to comesupport the event and the cause. “This year a lot of things have

changed and a lot of things have stayedthe same,” Tara said. “What will be dif-ferent for me personally is not havingmy grandmother around, but what staysthe same are all the volunteers who helpand contribute. Those people are key.”The Haydens encourage everyone to be

at their home at 3 p.m., sharp. Then, chil-dren will race into the pumpkin patch tofind the three special “prize” pumpkins. Tara estimates there about 150

pumpkins this year and wants to makesure that each kid can take at least onehome. Following the race, kids canclimb on the hay bale fort built by Pauland Tara, dig for buried treasure in thecorn bin or take hay rack rides on theBeaver Creek Carriage. Annie Bergling will be available to

take family portraits. “It’s a community blessing and a

way for people to show their support,”Tara said. “This is my thing and it mat-ters to me.”

Q: I cannot get mybindweed under control.Help.A: Field bindweed is a

deep-rooted perennial weedthat severely reduces cropyields and land value. This noxious weed infests

just under two million acresacross Kansas. Bindweed isnotoriously hard to control,especially with a single her-bicide application. Late fallprior to a killing freeze canbe an excellent time to treatfield bindweed especiallywhen good fall moisture hasbeen received. This peren-nial weed is moving carbo-hydrate deep into its rootsystem during this period,which can assist the move-ment of herbicide.The most effective con-

trol program includes pre-ventive measures over sev-eral years in conjunctionwith timely herbicide appli-cations. Use of close rowspacings and vigorous, com-petitive crops such as winterwheat or forage sorghummay aid control.Dicamba, Tordon, 2,4-D

ester, and glyphosate prod-ucts alone or in variouscombinations are registeredfor suppression or control offield bindweed in fallowand/or in certain crops, pas-tures, and rangeland. Applyherbicide or herbicide mix-ture according to directions,warnings, and precautionson the product label. Singleherbicide applications rarelyeliminate establishedbindweed stands.Applications of 2,4-D ester

and glyphosate products aremost effective when spring-applied to vigorously grow-ing field bindweed in mid tofull bloom. However, dicambaand Tordon applications are

most effective when appliedin the fall. Most herbicidetreatments are least effectivewhen applied in mid-sum-mer or when bindweedplants are stressed. Para-mount at 5.3 to 8.0 oz/acrecan be applied to bindweed infallow prior to planting win-ter wheat or grain sorghumwith no waiting restrictions.All other crops have a 10-month preplant interval.Paramount can be used on asorghum crop to control fieldbindweed during the grow-ing season.

Additional non-croplandtreatments for bindweed con-trol include Krenite S,Plateau, and Journey.Considerable research has

been done on herbicide prod-ucts and timing for bindweedcontrol. Although the re-search is not recent, theproducts used for bindweedcontrol and the timing op-tions for those productshaven’t changed much sincethis work was done. As a re-sult, the research results inthe charts remain very use-ful today.

WeatherBy Reggie Vrbas, Weatherman

Are you ready for election day?

A month from now we Americans can be going to the vot-ing booth with some important decisions before us.With public approval ratings among the lowest ever, it

would appear that there would be big changes in congress.Most of us feel like the bombardment of advertising

blasting opponents is such a turn-off that we’d prefer to runto shelter until the election storm passes rather than run tothe polling place.Why can’t candidates come up with some positive, de-

tailed plans for moving the USA toward problem solutionsinstead of standing at the edge of a stagnant pool in Wash-ington D.C., slinging mud?In 2013 and 2014, Congress passed fewer bills than at any

time in the last seven decades.We have serious problems in Kansas. Our underground

water table is shrinking. Education funding is under fireand uncertain. Tax cuts have left our state hundreds of mil-lions of dollars behind in tax revenues.We need strong, focused leadership from people who will

put Kansans first and personal agendas in the background.It is up to us as voters to make choices. Where do we

start? We probably need to have a variety of news sources,which express different viewpoints. We need to listen andmake discernments when politicians speak.Sen. Jerry Moran will be at Mojos in Atwood at 10 a.m.,

Tuesday, Oct 7. He has always welcomed questions when hecomes to visit. Opportunity knocks.Another opportunity to get a different perspective will be

when “Reroute the Roadmap” speakers come to Colby Mon-day, Oct. 6 to talk about Kansas property tax implicationsfor rural Kansas schools and hospitals.If you are in the voting booth and still can’t decide about

which candidate to choose or if you don’t like either one,you can leave that area blank. Leaders we choose will critically affect our country and

our state for years to come.

— Rosalie Ross

To the editor:

I am all about childrenmaking their own decisionsfrom time to time. If mykids choose not to study fora test, they find out theconsequences. I, however,won’t let my kids decide ifthey are going to be in 4-Hthis year. I am requiring my kids

to be in 4-H. Yes, they haveno choice, they must be in4-H. Why would I makethem take part in 4-H? Be-cause it changed my life forthe better and can changetheirs too.I grew up on a very rural

sheep and cattle ranch inColorado. It was due to mygreat parents, their strongmorals and 4-H that I didn’tstay the back-wood countrykid I started out as. In 4-H, I learned to sew

my own clothes, cook ahealthy meal, identify theinsect eating my gardenand choose the right pesti-cide, “stick” a bloated ewe,keep records, change theoil in my car, run a meet-ing, iron a shirt, feel com-fortable with publicspeaking, spin wool,arrange flowers, tell thetruth in all situations, fig-ure daily gain on a market

lamb, write a thank younote and help and showkindness to others. I took my first airplane

ride on a 4-H trip, bowledmy first frame at a 4-H funnight, traveled to Washing-ton, D.C., and representedmy state at National 4-HCongress. Had it not beenfor 4-H, I am quite sure Iwould not have had the con-fidence or courage to go tocollege or venture beyondour front cattle guard.Yes, I think signing my

children up for 4-H, havingthem complete projects andattend club meetings, willbe a wonderful experiencethey will love and appreci-ate their whole lives.

Won’t you consider sign-ing your kids up too? Iknow Cloverleaf 4-H clubwould welcome any child,as I am sure the other clubswould, too.

Rawlins County took on a vastly im-proved Hill City team in a district foot-ball game last Friday. The game saw theBuffaloes down 12-20 at half-time.

The Buffs had good drives, but justcouldn’t put it across to score.

Rawlins County scored first as theBuff’s Macrae Migchelbrink passed 11yards to Robby Brown. The try for 2 extrapoints failed so it was 6-0.

The teams traded punts and the Ring-necks went on an eight-play drive cappedby an 11-yard pass from Deve McKeeverto Mekbar Bate to score. Their try for 2failed and it was 6-6. That’s where itstood at the end of the first quarter.

McKeever, a Ringneck, went 38 yardsto paydirt. Gage Hardiek ran it in for 2extra points to make the score 6-14.

The Buffs came back after a good kick-off return by Migchelbrink set them up.They went on a 12-play drive with bigruns from Tyler Beckman, Cole Sramekand Rhett Mizer.

Then a big 29-yard completion to Shel-ton McCain topped off by a 1-yard run byquarterback Migchelbrink laid on theicing. The pass play for 2 failed and it was12-14.

Late in the half, Hardiek received a 10-yard pass in the end zone from McK-eever. Hill City’s run for 2 failed and itwas 12-20.

“We played better in the first half thanwhat the score said,” Coach DeoneHorinek said. “In fact, we didn’t make

any adjustments because the kids wereplaying well.”

The team came into the third quarterbehind 12-20.

“The boys didn’t let pressure get tothem. They still played well,” the coachsaid.

Mizer recovered a fumble for theBuffs. RCHS went on a Buff comebackroad and Mizer finished it with a two-yard blast. The pass for 2 failed, to makeit 18-20.

Shortly after, Keith Vrbas recovered afumble to set the Buffs up again.

"We noticed the boys were playing likewe asked them to play all year. They tookcharge of the game,” Horinek said.

Mizer scored his second touchdownon a three-yard blast and ran it in for thetwo extra points.

The third quarter ended with thescore 26-20.

“We were thrilled to see the guys stepup to lead the team. It really sparkedthem,” Horinek said. “The boys really tookcharge and became leaders in this one.”

Late in the final quarter, Migchel-brink raced 48 yards to score. Sramekwent in for 2 extra points making it 34-20.

The Buffs pinned the Ringnecks backon the kickoff and their defensive playlead to a team safety.

The score was 36-20. The Buffs just saton the lead and took the victory.

This was a big win for the Buffs, as itwas the first game of district play.

Obituaries

Church DirectoryWhat is the Gospel?

By Pastor Tim McCall Redeemer Lutheran Church

Romans 1:16: “I am not ashamed of thegospel, because it is the power of God for thesalvation of everyone who believes.”What is the Gospel? The other day I

thought about this simple and yet profoundquestion. Sometimes you hear about theGospel of Jesus Christ with friends and fam-ily. To outsiders of the Christian faith, itmight sound like a secret code word devoidof any meaning. But, what does this mean? There are the Books of the Gospels. These are the four books

written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God byMatthew, Mark, Luke and John. Then there is Gospel music …Google and think of Bill Gaither and other singers.But, the Gospel of Jesus literally means in Greek, “The Good

News.” But where there is Good News, there must be some sortof bad news. God’s Word clearly tells us the bad news that we have sinned

in every thought, word and desire (Gal 5:19-21a). Sin is anythingdone contrary to God’s Holy Law, the Ten Commandments. TheLaw of God, those Ten Commandments, not 10 suggestions,teaches what we are to do and not to do according to God’s HolyWill and shows us our sins. We could never fulfill the Law per-fectly and deserve eternal condemnation because of our self-righteous pharisaical nature.

But, where is the Good News? What is the Gospel? As Iteach my Wednesday night confirmation students, the Gospelcan be summarized in this abbreviation, S.O.S. (Shows our Sav-ior). While the Law of God shows our sins, the Gospel of JesusChrist points not to self and our works, but Shows our Savior. The Gospel proclaims what the Triune God has done for your

salvation. The Gospel shows the grace and mercy of our EternalGod. The Gospel proclaims to sin-sickened souls that you arefreed from guilt and punishment and the power of sin by Christ’slife through His merciful suffering, death and resurrection foryou! (John 3:16-17)The Gospel of Jesus Christ has nothing to do with your own

works or salvation. Forgiveness and salvation is by the free giftof faith in Jesus Christ alone. You see, Jesus knew you could notbear your sins and transgressions, so why act like you can? Ifyou could justify yourself before a Holy and Just God thenChrist’s death on a cross was pointless and meaningless.Besides, only one person has been perfect in this world, and

it ain’t you. It was and still is Jesus for you, despite all your sins! The Gospel proclaims to troubled hearts and souls that Christ

took your place on the Cross (Gal 3:13) and by faith in His com-passionate action for you, one is granted freely forgiveness, lifeand salvation. Why did Jesus do all this? It wasn’t because we earned it or

because of a special last name. It’s because of His great love forthe Father and for you.What’s the Gospel? It is life changing. It is world changing.

And its emphasis and foundation is never in ourselves, but in theCrucified and Risen Savior. To God alone be the Glory. Amen.

The Rawlins County Com-missioners heard an updateon the county shuttle serviceduring their month-endmeeting Sept. 30.Tasha Flock met with the

board to let them know sheis in the process of applyingfor next years’ grant. “Any county entity will-

ing to send a letter of sup-port for the shuttle is muchappreciated,” Flock said. The letters will go with

the grant application whenit’s sent at the end of Octo-ber. Anyone who would liketo send a letter should haveit to the clerk’s office by theend of the month. Flock also reported she is

going to apply for a van in ad-dition to the shuttle bus fund-ing in the grant application.

Flock said there is definitelya need for another vehicle. “If we have people who

need a ride and volunteers todrive, it seems like a no-brainer to me,” Commis-sioner Craig Cox said. “The worst they can do is

say no,” County AttorneyJared Holste said. The commissioners gave

Flock support for applyingfor the additional vehicle inher grant application. The commissioners met

with Road and Bridge Super-visor Mark Loop, who saidso far, he is very impressedwith the new mechanic,David Burns. “I think he is going to work

out really well,” Loop said. Loop said he would like to

start looking for a new main-tainer.The oldest county ma-

chine in use is a 1981 and it’sprobably time to start look-

ing for one, he said. “It won’t hurt to get bids and

see where we are,” Cox said. A 15-minute executive

session was called to discussnon-elected personnel andafter the session it was de-cided to hire MarlinWahrman as a full-timecounty employee, until hetenders his resignation.

Other businessIn other business, the

commissioners:• Approved a bid of $2,500

from Vap Construction toput in a window in the newaddition at the EMS station. • Approved and signed the

Midwest Energy Inc., natu-ral gas service contracts. • Met with Larry Sharp

from KCAMP who gave aninsurance update. The next meeting will be
