CITY OF SABETHA

‘No Smoking’ signs are installed at city parks

KRISTA WASINGER

Smoking in the city’s parks and recreational areas is no longer al-lowed in the areas marked with “No Smoking” signs. The signs — posted at the Mary Cotton Public Library Park and the Sixth Street Park — were installed recently and more will be posted at the sports complex for the summer ball season. Smoking will now only be allowed in the parking lot at the ballfields, but not near the fields.

In February, city commission-ers approved Ordinance No. 1526, prohibiting the use of tobacco in all municipal owned parks, play-grounds and recreational areas in Sabetha. The ordinance does not prohibit the use of tobacco at the Sabetha City Lake and Pony Creek Lake.

The signs were free through the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Any city that has or passes an ordinance for no smok-ing in public areas qualifies for the signs.

“We had to submit our ordi-nance to them [KDHE] through the KanQuit program to qualify,” said Jeremy Haverkamp, Sabetha Parks and Recreation Director. “Once you do that, they have the signs to pick from, so we picked what we needed.”

Penalties for violating the “No Smoking” ordinance are as fol-lows:

• Fine of $25 for first offense. If

the violator pays the fine prior to the next court date, no court costs shall be assessed.

• Alternatively, a law enforce-ment officer may issue a notice to appear for violation of this act. If the person fails to appear, then a warrant for the person’s arrest may be issued.

• A second offense shall carry a minimum fine of $50, plus court costs.

• A third or subsequent offense of this act shall carry a maximum fine of $500 and in addition to the fine, a person may be confined to the Nemaha County Jail for a defi-nite term not to exceed 30 days.

SPRING CITYWIDE GARAGE SALES

Mark your calendars for spring garage salesOrganizers are ramping up for Sa-

betha’s spring Citywide Garage Sales, and organizers are reminding residents to mark their calendars. Official dates for the sales are Friday and Saturday, June 8 and 9. Some vendors may opt to open up Thursday, June 7, as well.

This event provides residents an excel-lent opportunity to clear out functional items that they no longer need and earn some extra money by selling to others who can use them, organizers say.

Citywide Garage Sales registration

forms may be picked up at Sabetha City Hall, or can be printed from www.sa-bethachamber.com. Registration for the official sales and map is $10.

The $10 registration includes a 25-word description on the combined sale map to be published in The Sabetha Herald to help shoppers easily find their sale loca-tion. Registration fees also help promote this event in three states through news-papers, radio and online.

Registration forms and fee must be placed in the locked drop mailbox inside

Sabetha City Hall by 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 31. Early registrations are encour-aged. Late registrations may not be in-cluded.

A compiled Citywide Garage Sales ad-dress, map and description will be pub-lished in the June 6 issue of The Sabetha Herald and posted on the websites for the Chamber of Commerce and The Sabetha Herald.

For more information or questions, contact Alana Strahm at 785-284-3520, Susan Emert at 785-284-3292, or visit the

Sabetha Chamber of Commerce website.

SEEKING VOLUNTEERSThe Spring Citywide Garage Sales Citi-

zen Committee has lost several key people and needs more volunteers to continue hosting this weekend event. If you are community-minded and enjoy hosting or shopping the citywide sales, we would welcome you to join us to ensure the con-tinuation of the spring citywide garage sales. Call 785-284-3520 with questions and for more information.

LEARNING & GROWINGPlant and Soil Science lab affords Sabetha students hands-on learning experiences

A sign outside of Sabetha alerts travelers that the Citywide Garage Sales are slated for June 8 and 9.

AMBER DETERS

As work began last fall on the north side of Sabetha High School, many might have been unsure of what it was. However, as the structure began to take shape there was no doubt — it was a greenhouse.

Dubbed the Plant and Soil Science Lab, this new structure is providing students with hands-on, research-based learning op-portunities in horticulture and soil science.

“You can talk about it all day long, but here students are doing it — learning through doing,” said Chris Bauerle, agri-cultural education teacher and FFA advisor at SHS. “Most of these kids are hands-on learners, and we are doing that — pruning, watering, testing.”

The PSS Lab is owned and operated by the Sabetha High School FFA chapter, and mainly utilized by the agricultural educa-tion department, but it will be utilized by other departments in the future, including biology and family and consumer sciences.

Students spent the entire fall semester constructing the PSS Lab, and began set-ting up the planting systems in January. Already, students and their work in the PSS Lab has supplied one day worth of lettuce for salads at all three Sabetha schools. The lettuce, and most of the other vegetables

being grown in the Lab, is grown with the new aquaponics system. The PSS Lab has four aquaponics tanks.

This system creates an independent eco-system, in which the vegetables roots are immersed in water from a large fish tank. The fish in this tank provide all of the nu-trients needed to grow the plants, and the plants then clean the water that goes back into the fish tank.

Currently, the PSS Lab is using Koi and Tilapia to “feed” the aquaponics tanks. In the future, Bauerle said they hope to add shrimp and prongs to help clean the tanks. The Lab also has a few crawfish, bullhead catfish and a turtle — none of which do anything special, but are more like “class pets,” Bauerle said with a laugh.

In addition to it being “nice to get out of the classroom,” sophomore David Pierson said he has enjoyed experiencing the inter-action between fish and plants.

“It has been neat to experience the in-dependent ecosystem [with the aquapon-ics system], with the fish providing for the plants and the plants cleaning the water for the fish,” Pierson said.

Student Amber Menold checks the roots of the plants in one of the aquaponics tanks, while fellow student Julee Tryon looks on. In the background, student teacher Wyatt Maurer and teacher Chris Bauerle check plants and fish in the aquaponics system. Annie Deters | Herald

SABETHA CITY COMMISSION

City discusses upcoming projects

KRISTA WASINGER

The Sabetha City Commission met at 6 p.m. Monday, April 23. Present were Mayor Doug Clark, Commissioners Nick Aberle, Maridel Wittmer and Julie Bur-enheide, City Administrator Doug Allen, Assistant City Adminis-trator Bill Shroyer and City Clerk Steve Compo. Commissioner Norm Schmitt was absent.

CITY PROJECTSCommissioners discussed city

projects, including the wellness center and the Sixth Street Im-

provements/Walking Trail. Both projects are still in the planning phase.

City Administrator Allen said he expects that it will be mid-May before the design plans for the wellness center are put to cost estimates.

It is expected that the design of Sixth Street improvements will be ready by the first part of sum-mer. After bidding the project out, Allen said if everything goes as planned, construction could be-gin around August. The Walking Trail construction could begin in

This sign is posted at the Sixth Street Park. There also will be signs posted at Mary Cotton Public Library Park and the ballfields.

MEMORIES Compiled from past issues of The Sabetha Herald

125 YEARS AGO Friday, April 28, 1893It is a wonder that as large a town as Hiawatha cannot support a good democratic paper. The Kansas Democrat is a sort of fusion mongrel that must be of very little interest to the regular stalwart, and the Journal is a populist.It is rather late to mention it, but the only reason it was not spoken of earlier by the Herald is that we heard only the other date of the re-instatement and vindication of Miss Livengood at her old place in the Rock Island office as day operator. Investigation proceed that the train men were to blame and not the operator. The conductor was discharged that the engineer given a lay-off and Miss Mary Livengood very properly given her position again. The Sabetha girl is ahead as usual, and has our congratulations.Sabetha and Falls City both have circuses that will start out the first of May. Hiawatha people would like to see both of them. - World. Come up and see the show. Tickets only a quarter and the street parade all for nothing.May 1 is to be celebrated as the twelfth anniversary of the adoption of the prohibitory law in Kansas.

100 YEARS AGO Thursday, April 25, 1918The Nemaha county war board has recommended that every town in Nemaha county have union patriotic services once a month on Sunday. This matter has been overlooked in Sabetha owing to the rush of other matters. The matter will now be taken up in Sabetha. It would be espe-cially fitting to hold the monthly patriotic union service in a Sabetha church. The churches are the only buildings in which meetings can be held here at present. There is no more sacred rite than the patriotic service. It should be held here monthly by all means.The Herald has about twenty-three Strahms in its “family.” If there are any Strahms not on the subscription list they are invited to “enlist” with The Herald at once. Come on in the water’s fine and the news authentic and up to the minute.Nearly all the boys have dropped out of high school to work on farms. Only five are left in school and most of them are members of the U.S. Boys Working Reserve and will go to the farms as soon as school closes.Found - Child’s monogram ring on South Washington avenue. Owner can have same at Herald office by paying for this ad.

75 YEARS AGO Wednesday, April 28, 1943The friends of Mrs. Emma Thompson Galbraith, who was born and reared in the Harmony district south of town, will be sorry to learn that her only son, Thomas Claude, was killed in a plane accident April 12. He had received his wings and commission last December and was sent to South Carolina. His father died soon after World War I, and the son was buried beside him April 16.Miss Mary Reasy suffered serious lacerations on her face Monday morning when the tie rod on the car in which she was riding came loose rendering the driver, Clyde Kooser helpless in steering the car. The Kooser family had visited Mr. Kooser’s parents at Valley Falls and drove by Topeka to bring Miss Reasy home from the city. The accident happened near the overpass north of Horton. Others in the car received bruises but no serious injuries.Ten Sabetha men interested in the establishment of a branch ration office in Sabetha were given hope that satisfactory arrangements could be made for such a branch when they went to Seneca Monday evening to meet with Regional Director Clifford Baldwin. Mr Baldwin was formerly Nemaha county’s rationing director and was advanced to the regional post some months ago. The present outlook is that an office may be established here as soon as the matter is approved by district headquarters at Wichita. The Sabetha request will be considered along with others from over the state.Henry Osterhaus has filed a suit in district court against Frank H. Holthaus, Seneca, and F. B. Holthaus, Baileyville, based on an alleged note given in 1926, for $3500. Interest payments are listed. It is claimed that principal and interest due amount to $12,553.53 as of March 1st of this year.

50 YEARS AGO Thursday, April 25, 1968The board of education of Unified District 441 met in special session Saturday night, April 20, at the special services building in Sabetha. Included in the actions taken by the board were the following: 1. Ap-proved and authorized purchase of four new 48 passenger school Ward bodies from South Kansas City Bus Sales for $11,521 different after trade in of three old busses. This was the low bid of six ranging up to $14,111.20. 2. Approved purchase of bus chassis from local dealers, Brey Motors, Nemaha Motors, McFall Motors and Gilbert Motors for a total of $12,255.00. Purchase price allows $200 to each dealer but does not include freight on chassis to body factory estimated at $100 each. Average total cost of the four units is $5,944 to the district. Delivery on all units is scheduled this summer.Five Sabetha High School students will participate in the State FFA Agriculture Mechanics and the Vocational Agriculture Judging con-test to be held April 29-30 on the campus of Kansas State University, Manhattan. Galen Rokey will enter the FFA Speech contest with “A Good FFA Citizen.” Only representatives from the District FFA Speech Elimination Contest may enter the State FFA Speech Contest. Miss Sue Ann Popkess, a Junior in the School of Nursing at the Kansas University Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas has been selected to participate in the exchange program in nursing with the Phillipine Islands at Manila. She will study one year there and will leave in June.

25 YEARS AGO Wednesday, April 28, 1993The state fire marshal’s office has determined that a house fire April 15 northwest of Berwick was intentionally set and a reward of up to $5,000 is being offered in the case, according to a state fire investiga-tor. Dick Blevins, deputy state fire marshal and fire investigator, said signs of incineration and multiple points of origin were evident at the property 1 1/2 miles north and 2 miles west of Berwick. There are no suspects at this time, Blevins said, but the state is offering a reward of up to $5,000 through the Kansas Committee on Arson Prevention for the arrest and conviction of person(s) responsible.The collection of data from surveys sent to parents and patrons of USD 441 provides a starting point for school officials who want to develop a school profile and improvement plan. Sabetha High School Principal Dennis Stones, who is helping disseminate the survey results, said people are generally satisfied with the school as it stands today. Sabetha has been selected as one of 36 Kansas communities to receive Russian native performers during the state’s first “Celebration of Friend-ship Russian Artistry in the Heartland” May 1-20. More than 100 Russian singers and dancers will entertain across the state, beginning with a kick-off concert at the Topeka Performing Arts Center. They then divide into four touring groups.Sabetha City Commissioners will soon be notifying Rural Fire District No. 5 board members that a contract for 1994 fire protection will be terminated as of Dec. 31, 1993. The passing of an April 15 deadline and the lack of an agreement for cost of fire protection prompted commis-sioners to vote on the termination, which was unanimously approved.

10 YEARS AGO Wednesday, April 23, 2008Postal rates will increase effective Monday, May 12. A stamp for first-class mail (one ounce or less) will cost 42 cents, but if you purchase Forever Stamps prior to May 12, they will cost you 41 cents and can be used “forever,” even after the price increase. Effective May 12, the Forever Stamp will cost 42 cents. These stamps will continue to be available in booklets of 20 and sheets of 18, USPS said. In order to help meet the needs of the public, USPS said, the Postal Service will have 5 billion Forever Stamps in stock to meet increased demand before the price increase.Sabetha Mayor Doug Clark presents Chuck Johnstone with a certificate honoring his service to the City of Sabetha. Johnstone is retiring after 32 years as a custodian for the City. He worked at City Hall before the 1998 tornado that destroyed the building, and has worked at the Midtown Building since.

Thank you, Sabetha FiremenWords can't express our sincere thanks for the quick response to our house fire. This community is blessed that these men give the time to train, volunteer and be on call day and night. As we stood by helpless, waiting, and watched you work as a team, our prayer was for your safety and then our home. God bless you.

Out to grass

I recently enjoyed taking some days off to spend with my family. We took a little trip

to Hamilton, Mo., to see the Mis-souri Star Quilting shops. While I’m not a quilter, I am a fan! So taking in all of the quilting shops was a lot of fun, and a bit over-whelming. Since this is a destina-tion spot for quilters from all over, it was amusing that they provide a lounge. This lounge was equipped with leather recliners, big screen televisions and pool tables. This quilting company has taken over the small downtown and it is quite the tourist attraction.

While my sister was here from Connecticut, we got her involved in sorting some cattle. My fam-ily was snickering about having Auntie, help them. I told them that she was my dad’s right hand gal, I built her up so big, she offered to castrate some calves using her bare hands and teeth!

I see some cattle moving out to

grass, I understand that hay sup-plies are low, but so is the grass! We need some rain and some warmth, to bring on the grass. Every year at green up, grass managers must make decisions about when and where to begin grazing.

C o n s i d e r -ations include hay reserves, the cost of pur-chasing additional feed, and the impact of early grazing on pas-ture grasses. How long should you continue to feed stored forages, to delay the impact of grazing on pastures? How early can you turn out, relieving the cost of feeding? Which pasture do you graze first? The answer to these questions is: It depends! You may have several options, depending on your pas-ture resources, your stored feed

resources, and your ability to be flexible in your grazing options.

You might want to feed your livestock a few weeks longer. If you

have the feed reserves avail-able, feeding livestock a little later into spring provides your pasture grasses with time to shift from de-pendency on reserves to uti-

lizing photosynthesis for energy. If grazing is initiated too early, production for the balance of the growing season can be reduced.

Or you could graze tame grass pastures first. Access to pastures planted with introduced cool-season grasses, such as fescue and brome, provides early season flexibility and avoids early graz-ing on native pastures which may compromise production later in

the season. These pastures are typically ready to be grazed two or more weeks before native pas-tures.

A recent study demonstrated that native winter pastures could be grazed in mid-May at about 25 percent relative use without a decrease in stockpiled winter for-age. Exceeding 25 percent use or extending grazing into mid-June, however, could reduce forage in those pastures that you will need next winter.

Research suggests that grass plants are most vulnerable to grazing before they have formed three new leaves. Knowing how many growing degree days are required to reach the three-leaf stage provides a general “rule-of-thumb” about plant development. The date that grasses reach the three-leaf stage varies consider-ably, so examining the important plants in your own pasture is rec-ommended.

One Jesus

In the time of Christ there was a political segment of the Jewish population

known as the Zealots. They were in a modernized term, Patriots. Their nationalist zeal for their na-tion and people made them openly hostile and often physically hos-tile toward the Roman occupying army and influence.

They formed an open political force, (Josephus acknowledged them as the Fourth Jewish Sect along with the Pharisees, Saddu-cees and the Essenes) and an un-derground element which sought to undermine the Roman power: death and dagger, dark of night sabotage stuff. It was the Zealot rebellion which began in 66 AD that led to Rome’s final solution for the Jewish uprising and with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and then the fall of Masada.

During that time there were also the Collaborators, those Jewish

individuals who had formed alli-ances with the Roman Empire for their own benefit. Many of them were the Tax Collectors; the men who had sold out their nat ion a nd heritage for the lure of money and gain. The Tax Collectors were despised by the local Jewish population, but none more so than the Zealots. More than one collaborator found himself meeting a dagger in an unforeseen moment of patriotic zeal.

That is why it is so amazing to read in the list of Jesus’ twelve chosen men, names like Mat-thew and Levi, both collaborat-ing tax collectors and one Simon the Zealot. We spend a lot of time emphasizing the four young men

called from their lives of fishing to becoming fishers of men, but not much said about the ones who

left such drastic division behind to follow after Jesus. The hated collaborators, and the mur-derous patriot, now walking together in the common pur-suit of the Son

of God. What discord and division now resolved by one man.

The night before his execution, Jesus declared that He was, “The Way, The Truth and the Life.” Later, he prayed that his follow-ers would be one, as He and the Father were one. Later Paul wrote these words:

“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were

called, (2) with all lowliness and gentleness, with long-suffering, bearing with one another in love, (3) endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (4) There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; (5) one Lord, one faith, one baptism; (6) one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” (Ephesians 4)

There is room for distinction and diversity as we pursue our faith in God, we are a diverse people, but there is only one Jesus. And it is Him who should form the common ground, the common juncture that unites us and cre-ates His church and body and not the myriad of details in which we differ. One Jesus, One Son Given, One Crucified, One Risen, One Savior, One Lord, One Hope, One Faith in Him Alone.

Mole control

If you haven’t seen them al-ready, it won’t be long until you can feel them under-

neath you as you mow — moles, one of a homeowner’s biggest nui-sances.

T h e s o i l upheaval is a result of the moles looking for food. With earthworms as their primary food source, moles burrow in the soil in search of them (and grubs), dis-turbing everything as they go. They can even uproot small plants and feed on flower bulbs.

Control is difficult. Almost ev-eryone has a home remedy (chew-ing gum, broken glass, etc.), but most are inconsistent and unprov-en. Poison baits tend to fail be-cause moles feed on earthworms and grubs, not the vegetable mat-ter typically the base of most baits.

Grub control products might help with grub populations, but they aren’t effective against earth-worms, leaving the primary food source untouched. Traps are the best control method. They come in different forms (harpoon, chok-er, and scissor-jawed) and each are effective once their placement and setting is fine tuned.

For best trapping results, start by determining which runs are active. Some may be abandoned soon after construction while others are used for a longer time period. Determine active ones by using a broomstick or other object to poke holes in a number of runs. Come back a day later. If they’ve been repaired, they are active runs and should be used for trap place-ment.

Place traps in active runs by

digging out a little soil, placing the trap and then replacing loose soil. Secure the trap well so that the recoil will not lift it out of the ground. Make sure the trigger-

ing mechanism is in the center of the run.

Fi n ish by pushing down two more holes, one on each side of the trap. The hope is that moles will be caught when

they try to repair the tunnel. If you haven’t caught a mole in three days, move the trap and start over!

For more information on mole control as well as “How-to” vid-eos, see the K-State Research and Extension wildlife control page on moles at http://www.wildlife.k-state.edu/species/moles/index.html. Publications are also available from your District Office.

Time to get ready for canning season

Fresh pickles, ripe tomatoes and other garden goodies may still be months away,

but if you plan on canning those foods, now’s a good time to check on your supplies.

And if that includes buying a new canner, Kansas State Univer-sity food safety specialist Karen Blakeslee says there is a lot to think about before selecting a canner.

“The first thing to think about is what kind of cooktop do you have on your stove,” said Blakeslee, who is also the director of the univer-sity’s Rapid Response Center. “The cooktop is going to dictate what type of canner you’re going to get.”

She said most canners will work on a gas stove, or a coil-type stove. But the newer, smooth top stoves could create some problems with some canners.

“Some of the smooth top stoves have automatic shutoffs on them if they get too hot,” which could mean the food is not properly heated and thus preserved, ac-cording to Blakeslee.

“The other thing to think about is the weight that you’re putting on that stove top. Canners are heavy, and when you add water and full jars of food, that increases weight, and you could end up cracking your stove top because of the weight and the heat.”

She recommends following

the stove manufacturer’s recom-mendations for using canners on a smooth stovetop.

“There are some canners that I would not rec-ommend using on a smooth top surface,” Blakeslee said. “One example is a water bath canner like the old Granite-Ware, which are speckled blue or black enamel canners. Many people have them and they work great, but the problem with those is they have the bumpy bottoms. On a smooth cook top surface, you do not get maximum heat contact from the burner into the canner, so it takes forever to heat up water.”

Blakeslee, who teaches classes on canning through K-State Re-search and Extension offices in the state, suggests a stainless steel water bath canner sold by the Ball company that has a flat bottom. Presto is another company that says its product can be used on a smooth top, but Blakeslee says “make sure that your burner is as large as possible.”

She adds that the bottom of the canner should not extend beyond the burner more than one inch to get maximum heat transfer from the burner into the canner.

Canners sold by All American and Mirro warn consumers not to use them on a smooth cook top.

“An alternative to using your stove top for water bath canners is an electric water bath canner sold by the Ball company,” Blakeslee

said. “This is a stand-alone canner; it has its own heater/burner system and is sepa-rate from your stove, so you don’t have to worry about what kind of

canner to use on top of your stove.“This is a good investment if

you do a lot of water bath can-ning,” she said. “It can also be used for general cooking such as making soup or stew.”

Blakeslee has some other timely tips leading up to canning season.

Use a canner that is recom-mended for the type of food you want to can.

“If you’re canning plain vege-tables, like green beans, you have to use a pressure canner because green beans are low acid foods,” she said. “Plain vegetables like green beans, carrots, corn, even meat… those types of foods must be pressure canned.”

She added that you can use a water bath canner for such foods as fruits, jams, jellies and pickles.

“A pressure canner can be used like a water bath canner. Just leave the weight off so pressure is not applied,” Blakeslee said.

Have your dial gauge tested. Most K-State Research and Ex-

tension offices in Kansas can do this for free. Blakeslee said local extension agents can test Presto, National, Magic Seal and Maid of Honor dial gauge pressure can-ners.

“Check dial gauges every year so you know how accurate the gauge is reading,” she said.

Check your canning supplies. The food safety specialist says you should check to make sure jars are not scratched or chipped and that the rims of jars are not damaged. A damaged jar could crack inside a canner, “and that’s not good,” she said.

Other supplies you may need to have in stock include pectin for jams and jellies; lemon juice or citric acid for tomatoes; and other supplies that vary based on the type of food you plan to can.

“We want you to be smart and safe when it comes to home can-ning,” Blakeslee said. “It’s a great way to preserve produce you grow or buy from a farmer’s market. Be smart about how you’re canning food. While there are some things that haven’t changed over the years, there are some procedures and methods that have changed, so make sure you’re up to date on what you’re doing when it comes to home canning.”

For a list of classes that Blakeslee is teaching across Kansas, as well as recipes and more information on canning, visit the website for the Rapid Response Center.

A letter to patients with HEARING LOSS

In treating patients with hearing loss for over 25 years, I've realized this simple

approach works extremely well:

1. Schedule a complete hearing examination with a Doctor of Audiology.

"Free" screenings are NOT complete evaluations and besides, do

you really still believe in "free"?

2. A complete hearing evaluation is typically covered by insurance.

3. We always give honest, complete answers as to what the exam

shows. A large percentage of patients we see DO NOT need

hearing aids.

4. If hearing aids are indicated, we offer state-of-the-art hearing

technology at "box store" prices, with service and programming for the

life of the device (typically 5 to 7 years). No hidden costs, no extra

charges for followup, just great care, period. That's why we have

a 5 Star Healthgrades rating, and a 2% return rate on hearing aids fit

(the national average is closer to 25%).

If that sounds like the kind of hearing healthcare you want for yourself or

a loved one, call for an appointment. If you're still not sure, ask your family doctor

about us, in over 25 years we've seen patients for just about everybody.

Sincerely,

Gary McKnight, AuD

Home burglaries spike during vacation seasonSubmitted by Shawn StewardA relaxing vacation away from

home is something many peo-ple look forward to – including thieves targeting your home.

While taking that long-awaited vacation to “get away from it all,” some vacationers, unfortunately, return home to find “it all” is no longer there.

Home burglaries are generally higher during peak travel months. Nationally, a burglary happens ev-ery 13 seconds.

Because burglars see vacations as an opportunity to target empty homes, it is important to take nec-essary precautions to enjoy your time away. Many home burglaries can be prevented by taking a few simple precautions.

“Vacations require prepara-tion and planning,” said Jennifer Haugh, AAA Kansas spokeswom-an. “Just as you ensure all your items are packed for a relaxing time away, it’s also important to take steps to safeguard your home and keep your possessions safe.”

Tips to protect your home while you’re away:

Lock up: Many burglars enter a house through a window. Dead-bolt window and door locks, and slide locks for sliding glass doors are the first line of defense to se-

cure your home, since they can slow burglars down and may deter them entirely. Check with your insurance agent for a discount on these devices.

Use an alarm: Invest in an ef-fective burglar alarm that alerts the police, fire department and other emergency services. Check with your insurance agent for a discount on alarm systems.

Disconnect computers: Make sure any personal information on your computer is difficult to access. Disconnect your electronic devices from the Internet to pre-vent hackers.

Keep your valuables locked and well-hidden: Expensive jewelry, electronic devices and other valu-ables should be hidden from plain view and placed in safe lock boxes. Consider arranging for safe, off-site storage of valuables, perhaps with a friend or family member.

Also, engraved property is less attractive to burglars. Positive identification through engraving can also lead to a quicker recovery of stolen items.

Make your home look inhabited: Use timers to turn lights on and off. Leave blinds and curtains in their normal position so that your house doesn’t have a closed-down look. Temporarily stop newspa-

per deliveries and arrange to have your mail picked up or held by the post office.

Keep it trimmed: An unkempt lawn is also an indicator to bur-glars that you are away. Hire a lawn service to maintain your yard if you will be gone for an extended period of time. It is also important to keep shrub-bery trimmed around doors and windows. Don’t give a thief a con-venient place to hide.

Tell someone you trust: Ask a dependable neighbor, friend or family member to keep an eye on your home while you’re away and inform them who to contact in case of emergency.

Also, make them aware of anyone who may be visiting your home while you are away such as yard maintenance workers. Alert-ing the local police that you’ll be out of town will also add a level of security, as many police depart-ments will conduct vacation check patrols.

Keys to protection: Whoever is minding your house should also be given a key to your car in case the vehicle needs to be moved during an emergency. Never leave spare keys “hidden” under door-mats, in flowerpots, or anywhere outside the house.

Use discretion: Avoid discuss-ing your vacation plans in public places such as at the grocery store or at your local café. Although va-cations are exciting, try not to post about it on social media; someone may see your posts and target your home while you’re away.

Create a home inventory: In the event that you do need to file a claim, preparing a home inventory of your possessions beforehand will help make the process easier.

Check your insurance policy: En-sure that you have the coverage you need in case you experience theft or damage to your property.

If you are traveling by air and departing from a local airport, don’t expose personal informa-tion on your luggage tags.

If possible, use your business address instead of home address or use tag covers. If a thief reads the address on your luggage tags, he may assume your home is an unoccupied and thus easy target.

One final note. Upon returning from your trip, if you notice the front door ajar and it is suspect that an uninvited guest has bro-ken into your home, call for police assistance immediately.

Applications sought for technology grants

Assistant to the Secretary for Rural Development Anne Ha-zlett announced that USDA is accepting applications for grants to use broadband e-Connectivity to improve access to health care and educational services in rural communities.

“Under Secretary Perdue’s lead-ership, USDA is tackling e-Con-nectivity as a foundational issue for rural communities because it affects everything from busi-ness opportunities to adequate health care access,” Hazlett said. “These grants are one of many tools USDA provides to help en-sure that people who live and work in rural areas can use broadband to gain access to essential services and economic opportunities.”

USDA is awarding grants rang-ing from $50,000 to $500,000 un-der the Distance Learning and Telemedicine (DLT) program. Grants can finance projects such as those to provide job training, academic instruction or access to specialized medical care.

Proposals for projects whose primary purpose is to provide opioid prevention, treatment and recovery will receive 10 pri-ority points when applications are scored. USDA is approaching the opioid misuse crisis with a dedi-cated urgency because it impacts the quality of life, economic op-portunity and rural prosperity.

USDA also will provide priority points for grants that offer access to Science, Technology, Engineer-ing and Math (STEM) courses. Grants are available to most state

and local governmental entities, federally recognized tribes, non-profit groups, for-profit businesses or a consortia of these.

The application deadline is June 4, 2018. Applications can be sub-mitted via paper or electronically. For details on how to apply, see page 14245 of the April 3 Federal Register. Questions on the DLT program can be directed to the USDA General Field Representa-tive in Kansas, Shekinah Bailey, at 316-570-3249 or [email protected].

In April 2017, President Donald J. Trump established the Inter-agency Task Force on Agriculture and Rural Prosperity to identify legislative, regulatory and policy changes that could promote ag-riculture and prosperity in rural communities. In January 2018, Secretary Perdue presented the Task Force’s findings to President Trump. These findings included 31 recommendations to align the federal government with state, lo-cal and tribal governments to take advantage of opportunities that exist in rural America.

USDA Rural Development provides loans and grants to help expand economic opportunities and create jobs in rural areas. This assistance supports infrastructure improvements; business develop-ment; housing; community ser-vices such as schools, public safety and health care; and high-speed internet access in rural areas.

INVISIBLE DANGER

Tips on avoiding carbon monoxide poisoningSubmitted

You’ll never smell it or see it, which makes carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning a deadly foe. Anytime fossil fuel such as gas, propane, natural gas, oil or wood burns, CO is produced.

When fuel-burning applications – ovens, water heaters, furnaces, vehicles, etc., – operate properly with venting mechanisms such as chimneys or flues, this deadly gas is vented outside where it dis-sipates and becomes harmless. If a fuel-burning device or venting system is out of order, the for in-jury and death quickly escalates.

“Common causes of carbon monoxide injury and death are from oil and gas furnaces, porta-ble generators and different types of vehicles,” said Derry Stover, epidemiologist at the Nebraska Department of Health and Hu-man Services. “Carbon monoxide is colorless and non-irritating to the eyes or nose. People can be exposed to it in high concentra-tions without even realizing it. Those characteristics make it re-ally dangerous.”

Nebraska Regional Poison Center Education Coordinator Joan McVoy, RN CPSI, said car-bon monoxide from unsuspected sources such as a gas grill can eas-ily collect in a house or garage and raise the risk of individuals being overcome.

“Carbon monoxide from the grill can drift into the house through a window or collect in-side the garage and penetrate the house,” McVoy said.

In attached garages, carbon monoxide can build up when a vehicle is running and CO fumes can easily penetrate the attached home, quickly spreading through-out the house.

“Some people believe if the ga-rage door is open that’s enough venting space to dissipate carbon monoxide produced by a vehicle,” McVoy said. “Actually, a breeze coming through the garage door

can keep the CO in the garage.”Carbon monoxide detectors are

the most effective way to monitor for the presence of carbon monox-ide. Ideally, every floor in a home should have a carbon monoxide detector installed. At the very least, detectors should be located near all sleeping areas.

Placing detectors about five feet from the ground ensures the best reading of air quality. Every sleep-ing area should contain a detec-tor with an alarm loud enough to wake someone from sleep in case of emergency.

“And remember to replace de-tectors about every five years,” McVoy said. “They don’t last for-ever.”

Manufacturers include detector testing instructions, which should be carefully followed to ensure proper detector operation.

“If the detector is battery op-erated, batteries can be replaced every spring and fall with the time change, just like smoke alarms,” McVoy said.

Carbon monoxide detectors should not be installed close to any fuel-burning appliance or in an excessively humid area, such as a bathroom. Keep detectors out of direct sunlight and away from any sources of blowing air such as a fan, vent or open window.

The most common types of carbon monoxide detectors work similarly to smoke or fire alarms, alerting you when dangerous lev-els of CO are present. Because low levels of carbon monoxide can be harmful, too, a carbon monoxide monitor can be installed as well. The monitor provides a digital readout of CO levels even if they aren’t at a dangerous point.

Carbon monoxide monitors can be helpful when young children or elderly people reside in a home because those groups are more susceptible to carbon monoxide poisoning.

“Oil and gas burning furnaces should be inspected each year to

make sure they’re operating prop-erly before they’re used,” Stover said. “Furnaces that aren’t work-ing properly quickly generate a large volume of carbon monoxide in the home.”

Whenever portable genera-tors are in use, they should never be operated in a confined space such as a home or garage, even if windows are open to provide ventilation.

“It’s important to follow in-structions for your generator,” Stover said. “Even if you use the generator outside, typically you want to keep it more than 20 feet away from any doors or windows in the home to avoid potential for carbon monoxide to build up in-side the home.”

Symptoms of carbon monox-ide poisoning may include a dull headache, weakness, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, shortness of breath, confusion, blurred vision, and/or loss of consciousness.

“If there’s any suspicion that you’re suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning you need to exit the house or confined area you’re in and immediately get some fresh air,” Stover said. “Call 911 or your poison center right away for help.”

Blood samples help physicians and rescue personnel detect the level of carbon monoxide in the bloodstream.

“Severe headache and just an overall feeling of illness, which some people perceive as the flu, can put you at great peril,” McVoy said. “Elderly people especially tend to go to bed rather than seek medical attention. If you have a severe headache, it’s quite possible you’ve been exposed to carbon monoxide.”

Treatment may involve admin-istering oxygen, placement inside an oxygen chamber and other emergency responses. Breathing pure oxygen is the best way to treat carbon monoxide poison-ing because it increases oxygen

levels in the blood. An oxygen mask placed over the nose and mouth helps victims inhale pure oxygen. If a victim is unable to breathe on their own, oxygen is delivered through a ventilator.

A pressurized oxygen chamber (hyperbaric oxygen chamber) has twice the pressure of normal air, quickly increasing oxygen levels in the blood. This treatment is typically used in severe cases of carbon monoxide poisoning and to treat CO poisoning in pregnant women. Anyone who suspects they’re suffering from CO poison-ing should not drive themselves to the hospital, because they may become unconscious before they arrive. Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning increases when power outages occur during or after severe weather. Use of alternate power sources can lead to CO buildup in the home.

According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and prevention, approximately 50,000 people visit emergency rooms each year due to CO poisoning. It’s important to be aware of how to protect yourself and your household from these deadly fumes.

“In Nebraska, we see about 100 emergency room visits for CO poi-soning every year,” Stover said. “In 2016 we had 19 fatalities involving carbon monoxide exposure.”

“Everyone is at risk for CO poisoning,” Stover said. “Infants and elderly persons and anyone with heart disease or respiratory issues are especially at risk and more likely to become sick when they’re exposed to carbon mon-oxide.”

The public is encouraged to call the Poison Center number if they suspect carbon monoxide poison-ing or have questions about this or other types of poisoning. The toll free number is 1-800-222-1222.

Plant sale slated for new Plant and Soil Science LabLAB.1A

The aquaponics system is just one of three methods being used to grow plants in the PSS Lab. Another system is a hydropon-ics system, which is similar to the aquaponics in that the plant roots are growing in water rather than soil, but different in that it is not an independent ecosystem. The students add the nutrients into the system, after testing to see what is needed. The PSS Lab has three hydroponics tanks.

Sophomore Amber Menold says she enjoys the lab, because she likes to do hands-on things, and working with plants is what she wants to do for a career some day.

“It’s not as easy as it looks,” Me-nold said, noting that the students have had a few plants die. “There’s a lot of technical stuff that goes into it. It is not just putting a plant in a pot and watering it.”

Students also having been grow-ing numerous plants “old school” — in soil. Many of the plants be-ing grown in soil are types that would be used in landscaping or decorative pots.

Senior Alison Herrman says it is nice to do something “out of the ordinary.”

“It has been nice to do some-thing out of normal school. I think everyone enjoys coming out here and watching everything grow,” Herrmann said. “I have learned a lot of new things, like Mr. Bau-erle taught us to prune flowers in a very specific way, which was re-ally cool.”

CAN WE BUILD IT?The brand new SHS Plant and

Soil Science Lab is a dream real-ized by Bauerle. An SHS gradu-ate himself, Bauerle wanted a greenhouse when he was attend-ing school. As he made his way through college and finally into student teaching at Neodesha, he had the opportunity to experi-ence the learning and teaching experiences made available with a greenhouse.

“When we do our student teach-ing, we have to go somewhere out-side of our home district,” Bauerle said. “I went to Neodesha, where they had a greenhouse. Growing up here [Sabetha], I knew this was an opportunity our students were missing.”

But it would still be a few years

before the idea of a greenhouse at SHS would take root. Bauerle completed his degree and was hired at SHS, but he wanted to get established before proposing the idea. He finally would make the proposition, through the SHS FFA organization, and the work to make it a reality began during the 2016-17 school year.

The group applied for a grant with Monsanto, Bauerle said, but that fell through. The group then re-purposed that grant ap-plication and applied through Frontier Farm Credit. This time, they were awarded $10,000. This initial seed money was coupled with $10,000 from the SHS FFA chapter, as well as $10,000 from a fundraising drive by the Sabetha FFA Alumni organization.

“The cost of the building was $34,000, and we had all the funds raised for it in just a few months,” Bauerle said.

The more people learned about the project, the more interested they were in donating — Sa-betha PTO donated $5,000 to the project; and the Sabetha FFA Alumni did another fundraising drive with a $7,000 matching of-fer from Kent Saylor, which ended up netting a total of $21,000. Lo-cal businesses kicked in supplies and labor for the project, includ-ing Midwest Ready Mix donating all of the concrete, which Thieme Construction poured; Edelmans donating countless hours of la-bor; and Mike and Sharon Plum donating numerous planter boxes.

The veritable “icing on the cake” came this past fall, when Sabetha FFA applied for the Fron-tier Farm Credit grant again, and was awarded another $10,000.

“The community has totally supported and funded this proj-ect, which to me is one of the cool-est things about the project,” Bau-erle said. “Other than the electric and water bills, the school has not had to pay for anything.”

PLANT SALEThe Plant and Soil Science Lab

will be holding a plant sale the next two weeks, beginning April 27. The Greenhouse will be open from 3 to 5 p.m. Friday, April 27, Wednesday, May 2, and Thursday, May 3; 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 28.

CRISIS MANAGEMENT ON THE FARM

Start planning before it happensSubmitted

Routine maintenance and safety practices can help prevent spills of hazardous materials like fertilizer, pesticide, oil and fuel. But what kinds of risks do these hazardous materials pose during a farmstead crisis?

And what kinds of contami-nation issues are related to fire-fighting foam or other types of chemicals used during a farm-stead emergency response? These are critical questions that farm-ers need to consider in preparing emergency response plans for their farm site.

Making sure first responders have knowledge of on-site haz-ardous substances and nearby waterways and wetlands can help avoid unintended contamination of these resources. Farmers should also consult their insurance agent to ensure they are aware of any exclusions related to emergency response activities and the farm-er’s responsibility for reporting incidents.

“Don’t wait until you have a claim to learn what your insur-ance covers,” said Steven Cain, Purdue Extension Disaster Spe-cialist and Extension Disaster Education Network (EDEN) Homeland Security Project Direc-tor. “You need a clear understand-ing of what would happen under these circumstances.”

Completing a farmstead map that clearly identifies the location of hazardous materials is the first step. Farmers may want to consid-er having emergency responders tour their farm site to help reveal any unrecognized hazard poten-tial in the event of fire, tornado or explosion.

“Meet with your insurance agent to review coverage and learn all you can about exclu-sions or coverage options,” Cain says. “Some policies require a

specific time frame for reporting loss, which isn’t covered if it’s not properly reported.”

Farmers who have high-value livestock or crops should ask specific questions about related coverage details above and beyond fair market value. It’s also critical to inquire about how enhancing or installing security measures af-fects insurance premiums.

“Get everything in writing,” Cain said. “There’s no such thing as verbal confirmation. Insurance agents may unintentionally misin-terpret the way a company writes your policy. They may not clearly understand your inquiry and pro-vide you with inadequate coverage or no coverage at all.”

All notices and amendments from insurance companies should be carefully reviewed in a timely manner. Lowered premiums or premiums that don’t increase may be due to reduced coverage, which may not be apparent if you don’t investigate.

Whenever possible, central-izing chemical supplies can help emergency responders avoid com-plicating a crisis by unintention-ally contaminating soil, water or air with those products. Clearly marking the building where products are stored and making sure containers are adequately marked are all important steps in preventing hazardous spills. Leftover chemicals of any kind should always be returned to the storage site and properly labeled.

Details provided to emergency responders about the chemical storage building should include identification of any valuable equipment stored in the building, the building construction date and dimensions and the type of construction materials used, such as concrete slabs, crawl spaces and wood or steel trusses.

“Describe what type of roof,

windows and f loors are in the building,” Cain said. “Note how many types and sizes of containers are held there. Keep those inven-tories as current as possible.”

It also helps first responders to know if there are any drains in the building and where they lead. Is the equipment motorized and does it have gas or diesel en-gines? Does the building contain any compressed gas or propane tanks? If there are large drums of product, what’s the drum capacity and what does it hold?

Costs that can be incurred due to a hazardous waste spill or con-tamination during an emergency include on-site remediation and cleanup, off-site remediation and cleanup (i.e. a neighbor), bodily injury claims, legal pollution li-ability and property damage claims.

Environmental restoration costs can involve measures such as capping, testing, monitoring and disposal of hazardous ma-terials. Depending on the scope of the contamination, it could involve evacuation, relocation, diminished property value, pain and suffering and loss of income.

In the event of some type of spill or contamination, the State Department of Natural Resources should be immediately notified to assist with cleanup and any neces-sary remediation. To safely and effectively clean up a hazardous material spill, hire a specialist to complete the job as soon as pos-sible. Items that could save time, effort and expense related to a spill include a broadcast absor-bent, drums, barrels and buckets, tarps and shovels.

Depending on the type and lo-cation of a spill, building a dike around it or pouring absorbent materials on it may help keep it from spreading. Contaminated soil could be dug up and placed on a tarp. A tarp might also be used to cover a contaminated area and/

or divert runoff from the area un-til it can be thoroughly cleaned up.

In the event of a spill, never put yourself in a dangerous situation that exposes you to unhealthy levels of hazardous substances or in a situation you can’t get out of. An accidental spill isn’t illegal, but failure to report it is.

Information authorities will ask for when a spill is reported include: your name and address; location of the spill and name of the property owner; physical state, quantity and chemical character-istics of the hazardous material; where the spill occurred and the area to which it was spread; ac-tions taken to stop the release and/or minimize environmental impact; and actual or potential impacts to human health and the environment.

As part of the emergency prep-aration plan, contact your State DNR to obtain the phone number for reporting hazardous material spills.

“These state agencies want to assist with agricultural spills,” Cain said. “It’s their job to protect the environment and they have the education and experience necessary to deal with all kinds of spills. The information and ad-vice they can provide will make any spill containment and cleanup easier and faster, which means less cost and liability for you.”

State agencies can also assist with compliance related to all state and federal laws. They can also provide information on le-gally transporting and disposing of contaminated soils.

“All cleanup activities should be documented, including the use of photos to help illustrate what happened and what was done to resolve it,” Cain said. “Depending on the type of material involved, you may need to submit written documentation related to the spill and cleanup activities.”

CONCERT

Area musician, artist to feature talents in upcoming concert

The public is invited to a Sun-day concert “Synchronicity: A Journey of Music and Art” at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 29, at the Hi-awatha High School Auditorium. The concert is hosted by the Mor-rill Public Library.

The event will feature perform-ers with local ties. Shane Spangler, Kenya Patzer, Sarah Kleopfer and Toby Wright will perform against the backdrop of art pieces created by Christina Klein. Intermission will provide time to mingle and enjoy hors d’oeuvres.

Tickets are $15. They are avail-able at the Morrill Public Library, 431 Oregon, Hiawatha and at the door the day of the event.

The concert program will fea-ture beloved ballads and arias from opera and musical theatre productions, popular and sacred songs, finger-busting violin virtu-osity, never-before-heard original piano compositions, and tender reflective moments that honor the stories and people of rural north-eastern Kansas.

SHANE SPANGLERShane Spangler, piano, grew up

in Fairview and Branson, Mo., and made his orchestral debut in 1998, soloing with the St. Joseph Symphony Orchestra. He gradu-ated from Washburn University in 1997 with degrees in French and piano performance.

In 2001, Shane continued piano studies at New England Conserva-tory. Shane was ordained to the ministry in 2008, and has been pastor of Bethany United Church of Christ in Hiawatha, and Fair-view United Church of Christ in Fairview, since 2007.

A published composer, he re-leased his first CD of solo piano music, “Home By Another Way,” in 2003, a Christmas-themed duo CD, Incarnation, with cellist Sam-uel Cho in December 2010, and his new solo CD, “Stomping Ground,” is scheduled for release this sum-

mer. “Stomping Ground,” as the title implies, contains Shane’s original compositions, inspired by the land and people of rural Kansas.

CHRISTY KLEINChristy Klein, artist, grew up on

a farm near Fairview, which she found to be “the perfect upbring-ing for any creative mind.” Her passion for “making” eventually led to her decision to study Fine Arts at Kansas State University.

Christy also studied abroad for half a year in Austria, as well as one year in Germany, and gradu-ated in May 2017 with her Master’s of Fine Arts at Florida State Uni-versity, also receiving the 2016-17 Graduate Excellence in the Visual Arts Award.

Researching and document-ing the changes and of the small, American family farm life is the driving force in Klein’s current

body of work. By collecting both images and stories of a way of life that is fast receding into the past, Klein strives to give voice to her own journey, but also to honor those in the community that con-tinue to inspire her.

TOBIAS WRIGHTTobias Wright, tenor, is a tenor

and native Kansan who is quickly establishing himself as an “im-mensely talented” performer.

A frequent performer of new works, he was most recently seen in the world premiere of “The Great God Pan” with Chicago Fringe Opera. Wright holds a Master’s Degree in Opera Perfor-mance from Northwestern Uni-versity, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Voice from the University of Kansas.

In addition to his singing cred-its, Tobias is a co-host of the radio show “Opera Box Score,” which

focuses each week on the world of opera. He is the son of Rusty and Nancy Wright, and the grandson of the late Bob and Pat Parks of Hiawatha.

SARAH KLEOPFERSarah Kleopfer, soprano, is

the vocal music instructor at Hi-awatha High School and Hiawatha Middle School.

The 2017-18 school year will be her 31st year in the district. Sarah holds a Master’s Degree in Educa-tion from Baker University, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Edu-cation from Northwest Missouri State University.

Kleopfer is married to Doug and has two children, Hannah and Emma, and a son-in-law, Nate. She loves performing and is very active in HAATS produc-tions with roles in both musicals and plays.

Lady Jays earn first win, split with Nemaha Central

HEATHER STEWART

The Lady Jays picked up their first win of the season when they split a home doubleheader with Nemaha Central on Monday, April 16. Sabetha battled hard during both games, but would only come away with one win in the nightcap game.

GAME ONENemaha Central scored two

runs in the first inning on a sin-gle base hit, but Sabetha’s defense stepped up to stop the Thunder’s scoring run. Sabetha matched the Thunder’s scoring in the bot-tom of the first after junior Trista Argabright hit a home run and bringing home sophomore Maggi Hughes.

Nemaha Central drove in an-other eight runs throughout the game, while Sabetha only man-aged to score one more. Nemaha Central would come away with the first win of 10-3. Argabright went 2-3 during the game, scoring two runs and tallying two RBIs.

Sophomore Rachel Kramer pitched the first game for the Blue-jays. She surrendered 10 hits and 10 runs, while striking out three batters and walking four.

GAME TWOThe Lady Jays stepped up of-

fensively and defensively in the nightcap winning their first game of the season 13-3.

Both teams tallied one run in the first inning, but it was Sabetha who got the bats going in the sec-ond inning. The Bluejays scored five runs on three base hits and two doubles. Operating on two outs in the bottom of the fifth, the

next wave of runs started for the Bluejays. During the fifth, Hughes and junior Lexie Phillips each hit doubles, while Argabright, and freshman Minnie Schumann earned singles.

Sabetha would come away with the win. Argabright led the team again going 4-4, with three doubles and one single. She also

tallied five RBIs.Head Coach Lauren Massey

said she was proud of the team.“We had a good night of soft-

ball! We showed growth and depth from our entire lineup,” she said. “I am proud of our girls and how they continued to have strong defense and solid at-bats.”

Junior Hillary Krebs pitched the first five innings, allowing nine runs on seven hits, while strik-ing out one batter and walking two. Kramer came on in relief. She pitched the final inning, allowing one run on two hits, while striking out two batters and walking one.

Head Coach Lauren Massey said she continues to see improve-ment from the team.

“We continued to see better at bats and strong pitching from our team,” she said. “We are seeing tighter defense across the board!”

Bluejays claim first at home quadHEATHER STEWART

With three meets complete for this season, the Bluejay golf team continues to perform well on the course, after they claimed first for the third time this season at their home quad on Monday, April 16.

Two other varsity teams were present for the quad – Nemaha Central and Royal Valley. The teams played nine holes, and Sa-betha took the top spot for the day with a score of 164. Nemaha Central followed in second with a score of 196 and Royal Valley in third with a score of 234.

Five out of six Bluejays placed in the top 10. Junior Jesse Burger placed first overall with 37 strokes, senior Garrett Scott placed sec-ond with a score of 39, and senior Tanner Ukele placed third with a score of 43. Sophomore David Pierson scored a 45, which earned him fifth place; and freshman Ri-ley Lierz placed ninth with a score of 50. Sophomore Carson Ukele scored a 52.

Head Coach Scott Burger said he was pleased with both the var-sity and JV teams’ performances.

“We performed very well at our Big 7 League Quad. The weather was cold, not ideal for hosting a golf meet,” he said. “I was happy with our players’ performances, both at the varsity and JV level. We had four out of the five medal-ists in the varsity bracket and four out of the five medalists in the JV bracket. Both varsity and JV won the team title, also.”

Bluejays earn sixth at Seaman Invitational

HEATHER STEWART

After their first meet of the sea-son in Wamego was canceled due to weather, the Bluejay golf team hit the road for a make-up tourna-ment at Seaman on Wednesday, April 18. Sabetha placed sixth overall and placed two golfers in the top 15.

“If you notice, most schools are 6A schools, which are the largest schools in Kansas, and some of the best in the entire state,” said Head Coach Scott Burger. “Plac-ing sixth out of 13 big schools was very good for us.”

Rockhurst won the tournament with a score of 299, while Sabetha placed sixth with a score of 322.

Junior Jesse Burger placed sev-enth overall with 75 strokes, and senior Garrett Scott placed 14th with a score of 78.

“Our golfers played really well and we were right up there with the leaders,” S. Burger said. “The

weather was miserable, with tem-peratures in the low 40s and very strong winds, which made our scores even better. This meet was a good challenge for us and al-lowed us to compete against teams we never get to see.”

The Bluejays will travel to Roll-ings Meadows on Thursday, April 26.

Jays steal thunder from Nemaha CentralTIM KELLENBERGER

The Sabetha Bluejay baseball squad hosted the Nemaha Cen-tral Thunder at Somerset Park on Monday, April 16, and the Jays kept their winning streak alive with a pair of wins. The Jays cap-tured both contests by identical 11-5 scores.

“I thought we played two pret-ty solid ballgames on Monday,” said Head Coach Aaron Frey. “We pitched well and had good approaches at the plate. When Nemaha threatened offensively, our guys stepped up and mini-mized the damage that could have been done. I think we are heading in the right direction as a team and building toward where we want to be, which is playing our best baseball in the middle of May for Regionals.”

GAME ONEIn the opening contest, se-

nior Brayden Becker went to the mound for the Jays. Becker pitched five solid innings for the Jays surrendering five runs on six hits while striking out four batters and walking only one batter.

Sophomore Braden Argabright came on in relief and pitched the final two innings shutting out the Thunder on no hits, no walks, and three strikeouts.

The Jays out-hit the Thunder 9 to 6 in the opening game with senior Blake Frey and sophomore Gabe Garber leading the attack

with two hits apiece. Garber drove in four runs in the game with a pair of singles and a sacrifice fly.

Becker and junior Joe Gruber followed that up with two RBIs apiece.

GAME TWOIn the nightcap, the Jays were

outhit by the Thunder, 10-8, but timely hitting and six stolen bases allowed the Jays to score 11 runs once again to remain undefeated.

Senior Brandon Brownlee led the offense for the Jays going three for four at the plate with two dou-bles. Frey and fellow seniors Seth Burdick and Brett Stallbaumer each knocked in two runs apiece to lead the Jays’ hitting attack.

The Jays exploded with four runs in the first inning and fol-lowed that up with five in the bot-tom of the fourth inning to keep the Thunder at bay for the game.

The Jays sent Gruber to the mound and he responded with 4-1/3 innings of six-hit baseball surrendering four runs while striking out five batters and walk-ing two. Frey and fellow senior Preston Bruning came on in re-lief for Gruber and shut down the Thunder, giving up just one run on four hits with two strikeouts and one walk.

The Bluejays welcomed ACCHS to town Monday, April 23, for doubleheader action. These results were not available at The Herald’s press time. Senior first baseman Seth Burdick steps on his base as he catches

Jays sweep dogs at SomersetTIM KELLENBERGER

The Sabetha Bluejay baseball squad hosted the Rossville Bull-dogs at Somerset Park on Friday, April 20. They Jays continued their winning streak with a pair of wins over the Dogs. The Jays won the opening game 10-0 and the nightcap 8-0 to remain unde-feated on the season.

“We played pretty solid defense all day and pitched very well,” said Head Coach Aaron Frey. “Our pitchers only gave up two free passes all day with one walk and one hit batter.”

GAME ONESenior Trevor Kramer went

to the mound for the Jays in the opening contest and pitched four innings of one-hit baseball. Kram-er surrendered no runs on one hit, while striking out five batters and

walking no one. Senior Blake Frey came on in

It looked like a turkey!

Well, the turkey season has once again come upon us. It is a nice

long season that takes place dur-ing a wonderful time of year. I ac-tually got the chance to squeeze in an afternoon of hunting already, which is very unusual for me.

I ventured out into some new country to hunt in, and it was more of an exploratory trip than actually hunting. I was more or less just ambling about learning the layout of the territory. While I was walking around, I sounded off on a box call and since I got no response, I assumed that there were no birds in the area.

With turkey hunting, one should never assume anything and just as I assumed there were no birds around, I stumbled into a lone gobbler.

I spotted him before he spotted me. I gave a yelp on my box call and the bird never even raised his head up to check out the source of the noise.

“I have seen this before,” I said to myself.

I watched him for several min-utes and he walked away from me and disappeared over the top of a terrace. I waited several minutes and since he did not show himself I continued on my way. I was more interested in seeing the lay of the land over the top of that terrace than I was in the bird.

As I slowly made my way in the direction the tom had ambled, I popped up over the edge of the terrace and was suddenly greeted by a large flushing turkey that was obviously heading back my way to check out the noise. The flying tom was gone in the blink of an eye, and I was left standing there contemplating my error in judg-ment.

As I watched the bird fly away, I thought that this was just one more incidence of how I have let turkeys have the upper hand during the hunt. There have been many of these turkey hunting gaffes over the years. Oh yes, I

have dropped a lot of turkeys over the years but there have sure been a lot of bonehead moves during some of those hunts.

One of my best moves occurred many years ago. I was in the woods before the sun even thought of creeping up over the eastern ho-

rizon. There were toms gob-bling in all di-rections. It was tough to decide which way to go. I was with another hunter and we con-cluded that we should head south so off we ventured.

We got into birds when we ar-rived at the intended destination, but we could not entice the gob-bler to leave his merry band of hens. Try as we might we could not convince him to come visit us.

After failing at this location, we worked our way back to where we started. We had covered a fair piece of ground when suddenly we spotted three toms roosting in a dead tree. We ducked for cover and immediately began to pull out our calls.

It never dawned on either one of us that it was 10 a.m. and the these “toms” were still sitting in a tree — a dead tree at that! I still cannot believe how ignorant we were that morning. We took cover behind some evergreens and be-gan to call.

No matter what we threw at those “toms,” they never even glanced our way. We could not figure it out!

We were about 100 yards from those birds and there was no way to get any closer. My buddy finally pulled out his binoculars and be-gan to glass the birds.

After a couple of minutes, he handed me the binoculars with a funny look on his face. I took the binoculars and put them up to my eyes. In about 10 seconds, I pulled them down and looked over at my hunting companion. We both began to laugh.

What we had been trying to coax out of the trees were three turkey vultures! Those red heads on those vultures looked just like the head on a tom turkey.

We were young and not very smart turkey hunters and those vultures fooled us completely. We should have known that toms would not still be sitting in a tree at ten in the morning!

We hopped up and walked to-ward the dead tree. The vultures lazily took to flight and ambled off into the wild blue with long purposeful f laps of their wings. And that is why they are called turkey vultures!

I am just glad we did not shoot one of them. I don’t think they would make very good turkey pot pie!

WETMORE HIGH SCHOOL

Wetmore announces 2018-19 cheer squadSubmitted by Lauryn Scott

WHS Correspondent On Thursday, April 12, 11 ex-

cited and anxious students tried out for the Wetmore Cheer Squad. The students would be judged based on their behavior inside of the classroom, their cheer skills, their dance skills and their ability to maintain their spirit.

Their behavior inside of the classroom was evaluated by all of their teachers. Questions to con-sider were attached to the evalua-tion form. Is this person punctual to class and with assignments? Does this person work well with others? Does this person display leadership qualities? Is this person a responsible and dependable per-son? Each score sheet had a pos-

sible total of 20 points.The tryout process consisted of

an individual cheer, chant and two jumps, as well as a group cheer, chant and dance. Judges Kaitlyn Schuetz, Kelsi Fouraker, Shelli Burdiek, Rachael Deters and Patty Buessing then scored the candi-dates based on many cheer skills including their appearance (such as their grooming, neatness, poise and posture), and their execution (angles, strength, wrists in cheer movements). Voice projection, including volume, strength and clearness and sharpness was also judged.

Their dance appearance was then evaluated. This included critiquing their arm and hand placement, timing and rhythm,

and f luid movements. Finally, showmanship was brought into account. Did they smile? Did they boost the judges’ spirit? Were they enthusiastic? Were they confident? Did they recover from mistakes? Did they maintain eye contact?

Judge Buessing said that the de-cision was difficult, “Wow, I wish you could have all 11, they are all very good.”

After much deliberation, the team was finally chosen. Next year’s cheer squad will be com-posed of freshman Campbell Brown, sophomores Abbigail Shu-maker and Austin Smith, juniors Madison Boeckman and Ashley Flowers and seniors Sophia Amon, Alyssa Davis and Lauryn Scott.

NETAWAKA FITNESS CENTER

Fitness classes available by long distance

Submitted by Roy ReimanMembers of the Netawaka Fit-

ness Center (NFC) enrolled in its various exercise classes may soon be led by an instructor located nearly a thousand miles away.

Flora Kirwan has been a loved instructor at NFC, teaching class-es in water aerobics, yoga and Tabata three mornings a week. Members say she not only keeps them healthier and in shape, but she makes the classes fun due to her engaging and uplifting per-sonality.

Many were greatly disappointed to learn Kirwan is moving back to her home state of Florida to take care of her aging parents. She had little choice after her mother was involved in a serious car accident and needs a live-in care person.

To show their appreciation for her inspiration and commitment to the NFC, the class participants held a “Fans of Flora” going away party last Wednesday, April 11. They brought in an array of dishes and desserts, ranging from cas-seroles, Mexican favorites, noodle salads, cakes and confections.

The highlight of the party was

an announcement by Kirwan. She had already completed plans for Skyping, which means she will be streaming her classes live from Florida, leading her devoted followers in exercises via a large video screen.

So in the midst of disappoint-ment of her leaving, the members are now excited about having this continued “connection” with Kirwan as she teaches her fitness

classes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning.

“This should prove as beneficial for me as for them,” Kirwan said. “It will keep me in touch with my good friends here and provide me something worthwhile and ful-filling to do in addition to caring for my parents. I’ll likely chat and compare the weather with them, too!”

Members of the Netawaka Fitness Center held a “Going Away” party on Wednesday, April 11, for departing exercise instructor Flora Kirwan. During the luncheon, members were delighted to learn she will still be leading classes three mornings a week from Florida via video. Submitted | Roy Reiman

school&youthSTANFORD UNIVERSITY

Sabetha senior is admitted to Stanford

Howard Hinton of Morrill is one of 2,040 students across the country and around the world who have been offered admission to Stanford University. Hinton will graduate in May from Sabetha High School and will be-gin classes at Stanford in August. He plans to pursue a degree in engineering. He is the son of Paul and Tammy Hinton.

ABOUT STANFORDStanford University, located in Stanford,

Calif., has an approximately enrollment of 16,437. A freshman class of about 1,700 stu-dents and a transfer class of about 30 students are admitted each year. Stanford reviews each applicant with an eye to academic excellence, intellectual vitality and personal context.

Students admitted to the Class of 2022 rep-resent all 50 states, plus Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Of the admitted class, 11.4 percent are international students by citizen-ship, representing 63 countries. The new class is 50.8 percent male and 49.2 percent female.

“We continue to be awed and humbled by the interest Stanford receives from out-standing young people around the world,” said Richard H. Shaw, dean of admission and financial aid. “Indeed, the incredible strength of the students applying to Stanford is simply awesome, and all candidates who applied will have wonderful choices in higher education.”

The office announced an increase in the proportion of admitted students who are the first in their families to attend a four-year college — rising to 18.3 percent of the admit-ted class.

“We are proud of the intellectual strength and incredible diversity represented by the Class of 2022,” Shaw said. “Overall, the admit-ted students reflect the broad diversity of our

country and the world. These students already have had incredible impact on their communi-ties, and we know they will contribute to the world in immeasurable ways.”

The admitted students expressed a primary academic interest across Stanford’s under-graduate schools, with 65 percent expressing interest in Humanities and Sciences programs, 30 percent in Engineering, and 3.5 percent in Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences. The remainder were undecided.

Under Stanford’s generous financial aid program, which the university expanded in 2015, parents with total annual income below $125,000 and typical assets for this income range will pay no tuition. The expected parent contribution will be low enough to ensure that all tuition charges are covered with need-based scholarships, federal and state grants and/or outside scholarship funds, so that the parent contribution is only for room, board and other expenses. Typical parents with annual income below $65,000 are not expected to contribute anything toward educational costs.

This year, Stanford received 47,450 applica-tions. Students admitted under the early and regular decision admission programs have until May 1 to accept Stanford’s offer.

SABETHA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Elementary students set to compete in Wonder League Robotics competition

Three students from Sabetha Elementary School are competing in the invitational round of the 2017-18 Wonder League Robotics. Isaac Hartter, Landon Meyer and Khye Menold – competing under the Bluejay Robotics Team 6 team name – learned creative problem solving, coding and robotics by competing against more than 22,000 students in collaborative teams to design solutions to sci-ence and technology challenges.

More than 7,100 teams from 63 countries participated in this year’s competition. Teams in the U.S. hailed from every state, with significant participation from California, Florida, Geor-gia, New Jersey, New York and Texas. Sabetha Elementary School had seven teams of fifth graders competing. In addition to Hart-ter, Menold and Meyer, other SES students who participated were Tristan Schmid, McKenna Gatz, Kelsey Herrmann, Reve’ Nonnast, Mason Minge, Laura Goodman, Troy Davis, Brody Deters, Diesel Mirrione, Audrey Tramp, Roman Scoby, Tyse Frazee and Eve Bailey.

The teams were sponsored by Lisa Suhr, technology integra-tion specialist for USD No. 113, with assistance from third grade teacher Jennifer Herrmann. Suhr said that their accomplishment recognizes the hard work and dedication the students put into the competition over the past few months.

“I’m proud of all the fifth grad-ers who participated and wish we had started even earlier in the year, because I’m confident several other teams would have made it to the final round of the competition with a little more time,” Suhr said. “I’m extra proud of the three boys who are in the invitational round as they have shown creativity, per-sistence in the face of challenges and teamwork. They gave up time after school, on a Saturday and even over their spring break to meet and work together, so their dedication is to be commended!”

I also want to recognize the sup-port of the district administration and the USD 113 Foundation for their support in allowing us to explore robotics with elementary aged students,” Suhr said.

“We are inspired by the in-credible response to this year’s Wonder League competition. To see the number of teams partici-pating continue to grow points to what we all know to be true: all kids love putting their bound-less imaginations and intuitive problem-solving skills to work in concrete environments,” said Vikas Gupta, CEO and co-founder of Wonder Workshop. “As parents and teachers, by providing all kids with access to robotics and cod-ing today, we are giving rise to a far more diverse future generation of creators and problem solvers.”

ABOUT WONDER LEAGUE

The Wonder League is a grow-ing, worldwide network of el-ementary coding and robotics clubs using Wonder Workshop’s all-inclusive program to inspire an early love of coding, computer sci-ence, tangible learning and STEM education. Clubs form through schools, communities, homes and friendship. Teams of students be-tween the ages of 6 and 12 with

access to one set of Dash and Dot robots – which students program using code – participate in the Ro-botics Competition, where they develop problem solving, growth mindset and creativity skills through learning to code.

ABOUT WONDER WORKSHOP

Founded in 2012, Wonder Workshop’s mission is to spark creativity with kids of all ages, in-spiring lifelong learning through our clever robotics platform. The company is committed to help-ing children succeed in the 21st century and developing in-depth experiences that balance fun and learning, promote collaboration, and provide enduring value to both girls and boys at home and in the classroom. Our award-winning products are used at home and in more than 15,000 elementary and middle schools in the United States.

ABOUT USD 113 FOUNDATION

The USD 113 Foundation cre-ated the Appleseed Innovation Grant to encourage any staff member within USD 113 to ap-ply for funding to implement their idea.

Suhr applied for a grant last spring was awarded funding to try her idea of working the 13 ro-bots that the district had already invested in into elementary cur-ricula. Suhr’s grant focused on in-novative ways to expose classroom teachers to the tools and the peda-gogy of using robots with students and an incentive for the teachers to participate in the experience.

Suhr, along with volunteer teachers have been hosting after-school robotics clubs or work-shops for students in grades three through five. Suhr directs the experience, so the other teachers do no have to prepare a lesson or do any direct instruction, but are along side to hear her lessons and

get to work with the kids during the hands-on part of program-ming the robots or coding at the computers.

“It builds knowledge and confi-dence on the part of the teachers and makes offering an after-school experience more manageable with the extra adults,” Suhr said.

According to Suhr, the grant included the purchase of several more Dash robots so that each participating teacher gets one to keep in their classroom.

“With several teachers in a building participating, there can be enough for a group experience if they coordinate the use of the robots for the building, too,” she said. “In addition to the incentive robots, my grant application in-cluded the purchase of three cop-ies of a grade-by-grade pre-built elementary curriculum for in-troducing coding using the Dash robots. Having this resource avail-able in each elementary library will be a support to teachers who want to grow their own knowledge or just get ideas for using the ro-bots themselves.”

Suhr started working with Sa-betha Elementary fifth graders who were invited to participate in the Wonder League competition.

“I’ve continued working with the boys who are in the invitation-al round and we are just wrapping up the experience by building a website to highlight our success-es,” Suhr said. “The website will be turned in with our video of our successful run of the robot, as well as a copy of the code they wrote.”

Suhr has also been working two days a week at Wetmore for a six-time mixed session of third through fifth graders. During the first week of May, she will try a three-days in a row model with the grades three through five at Axtell. Then on May 7 and 8 and May 9 and 10 she will doing two separate two-day workshops for kids in grades three through five at Sabetha Elementary School.

Juniors complete job shadow day

Submitted by Ally Davis WHS Student CorrespondentOn Wednesday, March 28, the

juniors at Wetmore High School partook in Junior Job Shadow Day. This day was coordinated by Counselor Briana Evans of USD No. 113. The students went to businesses, or schools of their choice to observe how their men-tors went about an average work day.

Junior Seth Shumaker attended classes at Emporia State Univer-sity. While there, he got to sit in on lectures and learn about the studio technology needed to capture live sound and studio recordings. Shu-maker hopes to become a studio/touring musician after college.

Junior Lauryn Scott who hopes to become an obstetric sonogra-pher went to Nemaha Valley Com-munity Hospital. Throughout the day she got to observe CT scans, sonograms, X-Rays, and mammo-grams. She learned how to sched-ule patients using special com-puter programs and how to read the body’s blood-flow through CT and sonograms.

Junior Cooper Duryea spent his morning at Wenger Manufactur-ing and his afternoon at Schenck Process. This unique opportunity allowed him to learn from two mentors.

Duryea learned new welding techniques and tricks that will make his future career in weld-ing go more smoothly.

As a whole, WHS’s junior class gained much needed experience and knowledge to launch them-selves into their future careers, and they would like to send out a thank you to all the businesses and schools that allowed them to have job shadow opportunities. These schools and businesses were: Monster Maker by Night Fx, Bloom Appraisals LLC, Hanger Clinic: Prosthetics and Orthotics, Wenger Manufacturing, Schenck Process, Vintage Gypsy, Nema-ha Valley Community Hospital, Highland Healthcare and Reha-bilitation Center, Emporia State University and Helena Chemical Co.
