KRISTA WASINGER

The Sabetha City Commission met at 6 p.m. Monday, Aug. 28. Present were Mayor Doug Clark, Commissioners Norm Schmitt, Nick Aberle, Maridel Wittmer and Julie Burenheide, City Adminis-trator Doug Allen, Assistant City Administrator Bill Shroyer and City Clerk Steve Compo.

PRAIRIE HILLS USD NO. 113

School Board okays $16.8 million budgetAMBER DETERS

A $16.8 million budget — which includes $5,195,177 in local property taxes — was ap-proved at a special meeting Monday evening Aug. 28, by the Prairie Hills USD No. 113 Board of Education.

Estimated mill levies across the district range from 47.961 in the former USD No. 441 to 48.54 in the former USD No. 488. Due to the consolidation, the mill levy is dependent on location, as each former por-tion of the consolidated district pays its own bond and interest mill levy. Both are slight increases from the previous fiscal year.

The base levy includes 20 mills for the general fund, 17.208 mills for the supple-mental general fund and 5.2 mills for the capital outlay fund. The bond and interest mill levy within the boundaries of the for-mer USD No. 488 is 6.132, while the bond and interest mill levy within the boundaries

of the former USD No. 441 is 5.553.Valuation in the district is expected to in-

crease about $9 million within the district’s boundaries, which includes portions of four counties — Nemaha, Brown, Jackson and Marshall counties.

This approved $16,762,108 budget is the district’s “budget authority,” pointed out Superintendent Todd Evans, who said the district does not expect to spend the total amount. In 2016-17, the district’s budget authority was $16.8 million, but the actual budget was only $15.5 million. After $2.7 million in transfers, the district actually only spent $14.1 million.

Superintendent Evans pointed out a few budget notes to the board.

After two years under the Block Grant, schools in Kansas are under a school fi-nance formula again. State Foundation Aid starts with a base of $4,006 per Full Time Equivalency (FTE). Added to that base are

a number of weightings, including but not limited to At Risk, Low Enrollment and — new this year — High Density At Risk, which the district will receive for Wetmore.

District enrollment is down, but new this year kindergarten students are counted as one FTE instead of half, Evans said. With-out that kindergarten change, the district “would feel it [enrollment drop] signifi-cantly” in the budget.

Also at the meeting:The board discussed the district’s 2016-18

Strategic Plan, which is a working document for the board. District administration made a few suggestions to the document, as did board members.

Changes to the document, per discussion, will be made and presented to the board at the September meeting.

One main change will be to add an “evi-

NEK WEATHER, FARMING

Crops & RainIn dramatic shift from 2016, this year’s lack of rain could prove harmful to crop yields.

AMBER DETERS

Rainfall in 2016 was well above normal — with so much moisture during the planting season that it was difficult for area farmers to get their crops in the ground, and even more moisture at the end of the season that it slowed the actual harvest of those crops. This year, mother nature seems to be having another one of her mood swings.

Spring rainfall was about one to two inches above normal in both March and April, then down slightly in May. Both June and July rainfall totals were significantly below normal.

Mary Knapp, Kansas State University climatologist, said the distribution of rainfall this year has been “less than fa-vorable” for most crops.

“Above average precipitation in the spring set the stage for delays in planting and poor root development,” Knapp said. “Drier than normal conditions prevailed for most of the growing season, with the recent rains falling too late to benefit most of the corn and soybeans.”

Although rainfall this month has been within the normal range, it is too little too late for this year’s corn crop, said Dan Dalinghaus, manager of the Sabetha location of Ag Partners Coop.

“We got way too much early when we didn’t need it,” Dal-inghaus said. “Corn’s highest demand is at tasseling, which usually happens near the end of June or beginning of July. Rain was just not falling when it was most needed by the corn.”

At this point, Dalinghaus said, corn is in the mature stage — except for the few cases in which the corn might have been planted “extremely late.”

“We could get 10 inches now, and it would not make a bit of difference,” Dalinghaus said.

With harvest about two to three weeks out, Dalinghaus is anticipating a much lower than normal yield.

“I would guess we’ll see about 60 to 70 percent yields as compared to last year — maybe a little better on bottom ground, and a little worse on hill ground,” Dalinghaus said.

Soybeans, however, still have potential if the area receives some precipitation, Dalinghaus said.

“Soybeans are still blooming and still filling pods,” Dal-inghaus said. “The rains we got will help the beans, but we still need more.”

While soybean plants have made the pods, the plants do not start filling those pods with beans until a certain timeframe.

“Beans mature by the amount of sunlight they get,” Dal-inghaus said. “They can tell days are getting shorter and nights are getting longer, so they go from reproductive stage to pod fill and maturity.”

Soybeans will drop empty pods from the top of the plant down when moisture levels are low in an attempt to save the bottom pods, Dalinghaus said, but once the pods start being filled they won’t be dropped.

At this point, adequate precipitation could prevent this “pod dropping” to occur more than it has already.

It’s just too early to tell what the soybean harvest — which usually occurs in early October — might bring, Dalinghaus said.

One thing that is for sure, though, is that the lack of rain has been hard not only on the area’s crops but on all vegetation.

Knapp notes that the mid-August vegetative health report for the state “definitely shows the lower vegetative activity in your area [Nemaha and Brown counties].”

Dalinghaus said that he has noticed that lack of vegetation especially in the pastures.

“We have cattle growers already feeding hay, and we have seen a increase in protein and mineral consumption due to the dry pastures and lack of nutrients,” Dalinghaus said.

As a whole for the year, area rainfall has been about three to five inches below normal.

PIECEKRISTA WASINGER

A spoonful of sugar and a lot of love are the main ingredients for Debbie Grigsby’s cupcakes. Debbie has been operating her cupcake baking business — Taste Like Love Cupcakes — for nearly two years, since December 2015.

Debbie is passionate about baking cup-cakes and she strives for perfection, treat-ing each order as if she were making it for her own family. Her passion carries into her business name — Taste Like Love.

“Everything is made with love, so natu-rally, it should ‘taste like love,’” she said.

Taste Like Love Cupcakes began after a former co-worker ordered 100 cupcakes for a church graduation party.

Though she was not in business at

the time, Debbie regularly treated her co-workers to homemade cupcakes for birthdays or other special occasions.

“Everyone really seemed to enjoy my cupcakes,” she said.

And, six months later, she decided to pursue cupcake baking as a side business.

ACQUIRED TASTEGrowing up, Debbie said she always en-

joyed baking and often helped her mother or grandmother in the kitchen.

“I always wanted to learn more and to this day, I still ask my mom for help with certain ideas or recipes,” she said.

The first thing that Debbie can remem-ber baking on her own was an apple pie for 4-H, with her grandmother’s guid-ance.

Baking has always been a hobby for Debbie and turning it into a business did not change her feelings about it.

“I get very excited every time I get a new order from a new customer or a re-turn customer,” she said. “The best part is getting to create something that their friends and family will remember.”

Debbie’s goal for Taste Like Love is to create a product that leaves the taste tester wanting more and to keep coming back for more.

“I want to continue to make my cus-tomers even happier on their special day, whether it be a birthday, wedding or just because!”

Debbie knew that she didn’t want to

Merlin SteinerMerlin Duane Steiner, 80, of

Hudson, N.C., died with his fam-ily present on Thursday, Aug. 17, 2017, after an eight year battle with cancer.

He was born in Sabetha on May 29, 1937, the son of Joseph and Esther (Stoller) Steiner

Merlin graduated from Sabetha High School in 1955. On his 25-year class re-union “Personal Data Sheet,” he wrote that his best memories about Sabetha High were: “Football, School Plays, The hard times we gave Miss Robinson and Mr. Pollock.” He also enjoyed playing in the school band and running on the track team. After high school, Merlin worked on the farm in Sabetha with his father until he left to serve in the Air Force from 1957 to 1961 in Savannah, Ga. Merlin married and had his first daughter there.

After the Air Force, Merlin returned to Sabetha and opened a service station and tire business that he operated for about two years. While living there, Merlin’s second daughter was born before he returned to Savannah, Ga. Ultimately, he settled in the San Francisco Bay Area of California in 1965, where he remained for the next 34 years and met and married his wife, Sherry.

He accomplished much, including earning a bachelor’s degree in accounting from San Jose State University, a MBA in taxation from Golden Gate University and his license as a certified public accoun-tant. Merlin worked for the IRS, where he was widely respected and enjoyed a long and successful career. After retirement, Merlin and Sherry moved to Hudson, N.C., where he continued to provide ex-pert tax related services but this time at no cost to those in need. He conducted seminars on taxation for the small business department at Catawba Community College.

He received his pilot’s license and loved to fly. He also loved working on restoring his tractor, tinkering with almost anything and caring for the numerous dogs that he treasured throughout his life. He was a much loved husband, father, brother, grandfather and great grand-father who will be sorely missed.

Merlin is preceded in death by his parents; a sister Lois Meyer; and brothers, Joseph Steiner Jr. and Loren Steiner.

He is survived by his wife Sherry of 32 years; daughters Sheila (Keith) Oliveira of Newark, Calif., and Anita (George) Dobberstein of Stafford, Va.; grandchildren, Kristin, Marissa, Keith and Lexie; great grandchildren, Sean and Emma; siblings, Florence Meyer, Lyle Steiner, Mary Marti, Eleanor Weiss, Norman Steiner, Jeannette George and James Steiner; and his much loved dog, Luna.

A celebration of his life is planned in California this October. De-tails are forthcoming.

MEMORIES Compiled from past issues of The Sabetha Herald

125 YEARS AGO Friday, August 26, 1892The farmers of southern Kansas are getting their names in the papers. Some of them have destroyed the most costly bit of mill dam property in the state, at Oswego, on the Neosho, and last Saturday night four masked farmers held up a train, robbing the express safe of about $3,000. They did the work in a finished manner, but were arrested in a few hours. They are now in the Winfield jail.The Methodists are going to build a church right smack up against the opera house at Seneca, in defiance of the contingency that some of the members of the congregation may make a mistake and get into the theater. – K.C. StarT. M. Wherry started for a horse back ride the other morning. The horse objected to exercise at so early an hour and Mr. Wherry rode — to the ground. This accounts for his resemblance to a subjugated opponent of Sullivan.

100 YEARS AGO Thursday, August 30, 1917The boxes being forwarded by Sabetha direct to France are badly needed. Orders have been given that trains carrying such supplies must be given the right of way over other trains. The Sabetha council of defense is forwarding big boxes as soon as they can be prepared. They are sent forward with the least red tape. The immense boxes filled with neces-sary articles for wounded soldiers went right to the point where they are needed passing thru no unnecessary hands.Grandma Ray who lives with daughter, Mrs. Will Reynolds, is 89 years old. She was anxious to do something in the Defense league work but was unable to get to the school house. Mrs. M. J. Lewis took her rags and she snipped at least half a bushel of fine rags for pillows.Walter Duryea caught four coons in one tree last week. He had been missing corn. One of the coons would climb on a stalk and bend it down while the others would grab an ear and husk it. Duryea located the coons in a hollow tree. He cut the tree down and killed two of the coons and captured two alive. During the night one of the coons gnawed a hole in an oak barrel and was about to escape when Duryea discovered the attempt at jail delivery.

75 YEARS AGO Wednesday, August 26, 1942Miss Kay Strahm, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ulrich Strahm, is in St. Anthony hospital recovering from injuries received when she jumped from the mowing machine she was driving, to assist her brother Hal. The team he was driving had become frightened by bumble bees en-countered in the field. As Kay jumped from the machine to go to his assistance her foot struck the blade of the mower and the heel of her right foot was severely cut. She was brought to St. Anthony hospital where Dr. Murdock closed the wound. She is very weak from loss of blood but is doing as well as can be expected.Temperatures the past week have ranged from 56 to 60 for several morning with a high of 78 to 88 degrees during the day. Rain began to fall at noon Tuesday and precipitation continued most of the afternoon. Showers during the night brought the total rainfall to 1.22 inches. The late gardens and pastures will benefit by the rain.Golf News – The annual Handicap Tournament and club champion-ship date has been set for August 30th.

Included in the changes in recent weeks are the following: The purchase of the Sabetha Implement Co. by Duane Todd of Seneca and the changing of the name to the Todd Equipment Co. of Sabetha. Purchase of the Kreitzer Paint Store by George Stoller of the Stoller Floor Covering. Mr. Leonard Kreitzer will continue to help out in the operation of the paint and wallpaper section of the business.

Travel TipsDear Editor,

This past summer, some of my family did a lot of traveling. Through the process of purchasing multiple flights, we came across a couple of helpful tips for ordering plane tickets, and thought someone else might benefit, too.

First, if you have ever looked up a flight several times to check prices — or just to think about it — you might have noticed that the price jumped up. If you happened to check the same flight on someone else’s computer you may have noticed the price was back down to the original.

Flight prices do fluctuate, both up and down — which makes repeated price checking worth it — but something else may also be happening. According to the travel blog Thrifty No-mads, “based on the cookies in your browser, flight prices do increase when a particular route is repeatedly searched, as the site wants to scare you into booking the flight quickly before prices get even higher.”

Going incognito is the solution to fixing this problem and keeping your information from being tracked. In Google Chrome or Safari, you do this by hitting Command (or “Con-trol” if using a PC), Shift, “N.”

For Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer, do the same but hit “P.” This enables private browsing and protection from the ever watchful eyes of info trackers.

Secondly, if you go to SkyScanner.com, you will consistently find nearly the cheapest flights to any place you want to go. This website goes through all the airlines and collects the cheapest f lights available and then lists them under their respective destinations. And it’s free. Of course, even when you’re on SkyScanner, you’ll want to be browsing incognito.

These are just a few ways to help you fly economically. For more information, you can go to ThriftyNomads.com and find a wealth of fantastic info on ways to travel within your budget. Happy travels!

Teachable moments

“I know that Dad. I knew it when you gave me the same exact lecture last week!”

I usually don’t get that kind of feedback from either of my children, but I did the other day. Maybe the problem was that I was on a roll. It was early in the morn-ing and I had advice to share and I was willing to share it – even if my audience was tired and grumpy. Brings back memories – the ap-ple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Sorry, Dad!

Many times when life events happen, we need to take advantage of these as teachable moments. Much of how we handle major life events in schools is built around this foundation.

PBIS — Positive Behavior In-tervention and Support — is the model that our district is using to provide students structure for be-haviors. We are teaching students appropriate behaviors as opposed to assuming that they know how

to behave correctly. In the future, if students violate procedures, they will be retaught appropriate behaviors. It is a teachable mo-ment, and is proven to reduce behavior prob-lems.

One of ba-sic principles I was taught during crisis training was the need to use life events to teach students. When a death has touched our lives, our first re-sponsibility is to help our students through the tragedy. Many times, in addition to grief, young people have heightened anxiety because of a lack of experience in dealing with these events. It is important to recognize that not all children have been taught how to behave at a funeral, at a visitation, or in a cemetery. How do you talk to a

friend who has experienced a loss? These are all teachable moments.

When the topic of a school closing because of the eclipse was brought up, consideration natu-

rally turned to the eclipse as a teachable mo-ment. What better oppor-tunity to teach students about our solar sys-tem, sun and moon? I heard concerns of stu-

dent safety. Many of our families struggle to find supervision for children when school is not in ses-sion. A concern was that students would be less safe at home without supervision than at school.

The decision was made to use the eclipse as a teachable moment. To teach as much science as pos-sible, teach safety and protect our children. We attempted to set up

a situation that provided parents with a number of choices. Parents could keep their children at home to experience the eclipse together, or they could be sent to school. Parents had a choice to not sign the agreement for their children to be outside to experience the eclipse. We determined this was to be an Opt-In activity to respect parental choice.

The mission of USD 113 is “Pre-paring Students and Shaping the Future.” We stayed true to this mission throughout our prepara-tions and activities for the eclipse.

We are surrounded by teachable moments. It is important that we identify and capitalize on those moments. As parents and as edu-cators, we have a short amount of time to impact the lives of the children that we serve. We need to value each teachable moment, even when our children are tired and grumpy!

Eclipse visitor appreciates Sabetha communityDear Editor,

My wife and I drove to Sabetha on Sunday, Aug. 20, to view the eclipse on Monday, Aug. 21. While the clouds made the viewing spotty it was still an awesome experience. We found a silver lining in the clouds however, the nice people of Sabetha.

We appreciate BJ and all the friendly ladies at the All Star Plaza Inn. The room was spotless and more than met our needs. We also appreciate BJ letting us hang out in our room until traffic cleared, for a very fair rate I might add. We also appreciate the nice folks at Scooters who let us in to see the great little band from Texas, but allowed us to sample the buffet line provided by the locals. Cold beer, loud music, good food and friendly people, it doesn’t get much better than that! We also do not want to forget the nice lady in the green t-shirt whose walk we interrupted with our many questions. What an ambassador! If she is not the mayor she should be. We wish would have gotten her name. I also apologize for having forgotten the name of the great Mexican restaurant next door to the Plaza convenience store where we had dinner before leaving town. The owner took extra time to visit with us. He is also proud of Sabetha!

We spent some time driving around your community as we had not been up your way in many years. What a nice little clean town with a great selection of local businesses.

We only wish we had the time to use more of the coupons and stuff that came in your very nice visitor’s bag. Regardless, we will be back to see you before the next eclipse, promise.

A final note, to the young men (Mike and Neil) who charged us for our first night’s stay at the Plaza Inn. It was not the price that bothered us, guys, it was the way you went about your business. BJ and staff felt terrible about it and apologized frequently for the poor reflection on the Sabetha community. I am guessing you both understand the concept of Karma. You may have the money but you will pay much more in bad Karma on down the road.

Peace, love and happiness to all.Jim and Peggy Hansen

How to wrap up an estate

If you are an executor or personal representative of an estate — or even an heir

— eventually you want closure of the estate.

Sometimes, estate proceed-ings continue to be open for years with no end in sight.

There are certain steps that must be taken to close the estate and the exact process depends on the state law.

Is there a will or no will? When someone dies, an estate proceed-ing is necessary if the person owned separate assets without designated beneficiaries.

If there is a will, the executor or personal representative named in it should open an estate proceed-ing to probate the will.

If there is no will, a family member — usually a spouse or child — will commence an estate proceeding seeking to become the court-appointed administrator of the estate.

In both cases, the opening of an estate is done through the local probate court.

Some people who are unfamil-

iar with the process may think that an executor or personal rep-resentative can collect and distrib-ute assets within a short period of

time. However, if the estate has no outstand-ing issues, an executor of the estate can-not see to close the estate until after the time that creditors are allowed to

make a claim usually within five to seven months and after out-standing estate taxes are paid.

Depending on all of these fac-tors, it may still be difficult to fi-nalize the distribution of assets. The heirs and beneficiaries are contacted and provide an infor-mal account to the heirs.

Keep in mind that heirs and beneficiaries often feel the pro-cess is moving too slowly and their inheritances are being delayed. Communication about the status of the estate may help prevent dis-putes.

Bringing an estate to a close can be time consuming and compli-cated. Contact your attorney for assistance.

Schumann Financial AdviceBY: BOB SCHUMANN

It’s apple season

As fall approaches, apples are starting to ripen and soon will be harvested.

Today, there are over 2,500 variet-ies of apples grown in the United States.

To help enjoy that variety of fresh apple f lavors year-round, consider pre-serving them to add to your menu.

Apples can be preserved in a number of ways: dried or made into applesauce or apple butter, a delicious apple-pear jam or a tasty pie filling.

Choose the preserving method that is best for your apple variety. Some examples include:

• Freezing - Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Jonathan, Rome Beauty and Stayman;

• Applesauce and apple butter - Golden Delicious, Gravenstein, Jonathan, McIntosh, Rome Beauty and Stayman;

To select apples at peak matu-rity, look for these signs:

• Color Change: As apples ma-ture, the skin color at the stem and the calyx basin at the bottom of the apple turns from an imma-ture green to a light yellow color. Some apples will develop a red skin color before they are ripe, so that is not a reliable indication of maturity.

• Flavor: This is a good guide if you are familiar with the apples you have and know how they should taste.

Even if you do not know the characteristic flavor of the kind of apple you have, you can still sample slices of a few apples and decide if they have a sweet f la-vor. If the apples are not ready to

harvest, they will taste starchy or immature.

If apples have already fallen and taste a bit starchy, store them for a period to see if they become sweeter.

• Flesh color: As apples mature and starches change to sugars, the

f lesh changes from a very light green to white. You can see the differ-ence when you cut a thin slice and hold it up to the light.

• Days from bloom: The

number of days from bloom is a reliable guide for general maturity time, though weather conditions will have some influence. Some kinds of apples and approximate days from bloom to maturity are as follows: Jonathan - 135, Deli-cious - 145, Golden Delicious - 145, and Winesap - 155.

• Seed color: The seeds of most apples change from light green to brown as the fruit ripens. This in-dicator should be combined with other changes, since it is not ab-solute.

Preserve apples as soon as pos-sible after harvest. If any apples must be stored, keep them in a cool, dark place.

They should not be tightly cov-ered or wrapped up; a perforated plastic or open paper bag, basket or wooden crate are good choices.

If kept in the refrigerator, apples should be placed in the humidi-fier compartment, in a plastic bag with several holes punched in it or in a zipper-type vegetable bag to present loss of moisture and crispness.

Apples should not be placed close to foods with strong odors.

Turfgrass fertilization time

Spring is when we focus most of our efforts on turf-grass management.

Let’s face it. By the time you’ve mowed all summer long — in addition to the other lawn care chores you have to take care of — adding one more turf care chore in the fall is the last thing on your list! With that in mind, try not to look at fall fertilization so much as a chore as a time savings tool for next spring! Let me explain…

Fertilizer applications to turf-grass in the spring can do a lot of good. They make the lawn grow quickly. They provide a turf with a dark green color. They may even cause it to grow fast enough that you can’t see the weeds!

Unfortunately, the benefit of the fertilizer application might actu-

ally be increased by application in the fall versus the spring! If you could only fer-tilize your cool-season grasses (tall fescue and Kentucky blue-grass) once per year, September would be that time!

A s d a y s shorten and temperatures — particularly at night — start to moderate, grasses enter their fall growth cycle. This is the time when these cool-season grasses naturally thicken up via tillering (forming new shoots at the base of existing plants) and, for bluegrass, spreading by un-derground stems called rhizomes.

September fertilizer applications can really help this thickening up

process.For best re-

sults, apply one to one and a half pounds of actual nitro-gen per 1,000 squa re fee t (the settings recommended on lawn fertil-

izer bags usually result in about one pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet).

Fertilizer products do differ slightly, and while most fall fer-tilizers on the shelf right now are quick release (or a combination quick/slow release), be sure to check for certain.

Time savings wise, a good fall application could help thicken a stand to the point that the turf is a better competitor with weeds than it would be with a single spring application — without the exces-sive growth that often occurs in the spring. With any luck, that can reduce (not eliminate) weed pressure issues and mowing in the spring. See? Time saved!

If there was a second most im-portant fertilization time frame for cool-season grasses, it would actually be November!

November applications will help the grass green up earlier next spring and provide the nutri-ents needed until summer. It also should be quick-release applied at the rate of one pound actual nitro-gen per 1,000 square feet.

Words won’t save us

It should be clear from the title of this article that I don’t plan on bringing any

profound insight or life-changing statement of doctrine. However, I do hope to offer direction to our conversations in life and in faith.

“You have heard it said…” is a prominent statement during the first portion of the Sermon on the Mount as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. Jesus’ teaching rede-fines basic tenets of faith in such a way that none can claim righ-teousness for themselves. Indeed, in the hall of faith (Hebrews 11) we see that faith or obedience to God is counted as righteousness. However, what does it take to be a righteous person? More succinct-ly, what does it take to be saved?

I have recently been thinking about the institutional church versus the missional church. We know a lot about institutions. They have bylaws and doctrines that clearly identify membership and function. Institutional church needs strict structure and relies upon labels.

Missional church is different. When Christians focus on the missional church, we are united in our mutual call to the Great Com-mission. We focus on the ways God is transforming us and guid-ing us to obediently “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the

Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have com-manded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19,20)

St. Francis of Assisi is com-monly quoted, “preach the Gospel at all times and if necessary use words.”

We don’t know who first said this, prob-ably Francis. It is a good guide-line for Christians. Those who claim Christ as Lord, Savior and God ought to proclaim the Good News of God’s love. Many take issue with this saying, even call-ing it pithy, because they take it to be an instruction against oral proclamation. That is not the case.

Christ calls all who would be disciples to action. This is seen throughout the Gospels. At the Lord’s Supper, Jesus serves and then speaks, Jesus takes the bread and then speaks, Jesus takes the cup and then speaks. Jesus issues this commandment in John 13:34, “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.” He explains the purpose of this commandment in

the following verse (John 13:35), “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Love as I have loved you; they will know that you follow me by your love. Jesus expresses divine love by dying for the ungodly (Ro-mans 5). In-deed the guar-antee (or faith) given by grace

(Ephesians 2) is Christ. We are not saved by doctrine, belief or creed. These are ways of describ-ing how God is moving in the world, and such understanding can guide us toward accepting God’s work of grace in our lives. The institutional church tends to put believing before transforma-tion. But no statement of belief can give true and lasting assurance of righteousness.

There is a lot of anger in our country. Instinct too often leads us to make a statement of our opinion. Sometimes we spend a lot of time crafting these words; other times we speak without tru-ly thinking about what our words mean. I hope that we will demon-strate God’s love as we seek to re-spond to those who live or believe differently from us. The reality is

that unity in mind, soul and spirit comes only through God.

My family recently had a medi-cal emergency that took us to Wichita. We were separated from the support of our faith commu-nity. In the midst of trying to care for three young children (one of whom had a broken femur and another who was two weeks old), we received a visit from a stranger. Not a complete stranger — they were Facebook friends who saw our need. They brought us dinner, breakfast and lunch and gifts for the girls. They stayed briefly and were incredibly humble as we were overwhelmed by their kindness. They made it clear it wasn’t their kindness, saying, “God blesses us so that we can bless others.”

This is preaching the gospel and using words when necessary.

Christ is our hope. He lived our life, died our death, and we get to join in His resurrection. Let us al-low God’s grace to transform us in heart, mind and relationship. This does not mean that we permit in-justice or condone harmful teach-ing. Preaching the Good News of Christ is to remember that we are to accept the power God gives us to resist evil and injustice in all the forms they present themselves, to be the body of Christ poured out in ministry to the world; and when appropriate use words.

Skin care and aging

Your skin changes with age. It becomes thinner, loses fat, and no longer

looks as plump and smooth as it once did.

Your veins and bones can be seen more easily. Scratches, cuts or bumps can take longer to heal. Years of sun tanning or being out in the sunlight for a long time may lead to wrinkles, dryness, age spots, and even cancer.

But, there are things you can do to protect your skin and to make it feel and look better. The National Institute on Aging (www.nia.nih.gov) shares this information.

Many older people suffer from dry spots on their skin, often on their lower legs, elbows and lower arms.

Dry skin patches feel rough and scaly. There are many pos-sible reasons for dry skin, such as:

• Not drinking enough liquids, spending too much time in the sun or sun tanning, being in very dry air, smoking, feeling stress and losing sweat and oil glands,

which is common with age;• Health problems, such as dia-

betes or kidney disease. Using too much soap, antiperspirant, or per-fume, and taking hot baths can make dry skin worse;

• Some medi-cines can make skin itchy. Be-cause older people have thinner skin, scratching can cause bleeding that may lead to infection. Talk to your doctor if your skin is very dry and itchy.

Here are some ways to help dry, itchy skin:

• Use moisturizers, like lotions, creams or ointments, every day;

• Take fewer baths and use milder soap. Warm water is less drying than hot water;

• Don’t add bath oil to your water. It can make the tub too slippery;

• Try using a humidifier to add

moisture to a room.Older people may bruise more

easily than younger people. It can take longer for these bruises to heal. Some medicines or illnesses

may also cause bruising. Talk to your doctor if you see bruis-es and don’t know how you got them, espe-cially on parts of your body usually covered by clothing.

Over time, skin begins to wrin-kle. Things in the environment, like ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun, can make the skin less elastic.

Gravity can cause skin to sag and wrinkle. Certain habits, like smoking, also can wrinkle the skin.

A lot of claims are made about how to make wrinkles go away. Many of them don’t work. Some methods can be painful or even

dangerous, and many must be done by a doctor.

Talk with a dermatologist or your regular doctor if you are worried about wrinkles.

Age spots, once called “liver spots,” are flat, brown spots often caused by years in the sun. They are bigger than freckles and com-monly show up on areas like the face, hands, arms, back, and feet.

Using a broad-spectrum sun-screen that helps protect against two types of the sun’s rays may prevent more age spots.

Skin tags are small, usually f lesh-colored growths of skin that have a raised surface. They become common as people age, especially for women. They are most often found on the eyelids, neck, and body folds such as the armpit, chest and groin.

Age spots and skin tags are harmless, although sometimes skin tags can become irritated. If your age spots or skin tags both-er you, talk to your doctor about having them removed.

Suspect arrested in Tescott man’s murder

SubmittedThe Kansas Bureau of Inves-

tigation (KBI) and the Ottawa County Sheriff ’s Office, with the

assistance of authorities in Cali-fornia, made an arrest connected to the shooting death of Matthew Schoshke, which occurred earlier this month in Ottawa County.

On Saturday, Aug. 12 , Schoshke’s body was discovered by a family member in his Tes-cott home. Schoshke’s Ford F-150 pickup truck was also stolen from the scene.

Authorities attempted various investigative methods to locate the missing truck and on Tuesday, Aug. 22, information was received that led them to believe the vic-tim’s truck may have been located in the city of Los Angeles, Calif.

KBI agents and Ottawa County Sheriff Keith Coleman traveled to California. They collected evi-dence from the abandoned truck and were also able to identify a suspect.

On Friday evening, Aug. 25, a warrant for first degree murder was issued for the arrest of Robert Colson, 34, of Bucksport, Maine.

KBI agents, the Sheriff, and Los Angeles Police Department homi-cide detectives were working to locate Colson, but prior to identi-fying his location he was involved in an incident at approximately 11:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 25, in Martinez, Calif.

During this incident he alleged-ly stabbed a person while aboard an Amtrak train. Colson was at-tempting to escape from the train when he was injured. He was then transported to a regional hospital for medical treatment.

The Ottawa County Attorney will pursue extradition efforts following Colson’s release from the hospital.

The agencies assisting the KBI

in this multi-jurisdictional inves-tigation and arrest were many. They include: the Ottawa County Sheriff ’s Office, the Los Angeles California Police Department, the Martinez California Police Department, the Amtrak Police Department, the Contra Costa County California District At-torney’s Office, the Walnut Creek California Police Department, the FBI, the Secret Service, the U.S. Marshall’s Service, the Fort Col-lins Colorado Police Department, the Larimer County Colorado Sheriff ’s Office, and the Kansas Highway Patrol.

This investigation is ongoing. The Ottawa County Attorney’s Office is expected to prosecute the case. No further information will be released at this time.

KANSAS BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

Remains found at Melvern Lake

SubmittedThe Kansas Bureau of Inves-

tigation (KBI) and the Osage County Sheriff ’s Office are in-vestigating after human skeletal remains were found Friday night at Melvern Lake.

At approximately 5:30 p.m. Fri-day, Aug. 25, a park ranger from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers discovered skeletal remains dur-ing a routine check on the north side of Melvern Lake. The discov-ery was made near an area of the lake called Turkey Point Water-front Day Use.

The park ranger contacted the Osage County Sheriff ’s Office, who then requested KBI assis-tance Friday at around 6:20 p.m. KBI agents and the Crime Scene Response Team responded to help investigate.

Further forensic examination needs to be performed on the remains before the person’s sex, race, age and cause of death can be determined.

Forensic anthropology experts from the Washburn University Anthropology Department are also assisting with this investiga-tion.

This investigation is ongoing. No further information will be released at this time.

NEMAHA COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY

Committee hosts ‘Picnic in the Park’Submitted by Anne Moser

Nemaha County Republican Party Secretary

National and state government officials attended the Nemaha County Republican Party Picnic in the Park held at the Seneca City Park on Wednesday, Aug. 16. Government officials in at-tendance included 2nd District United States Representative Lynn Jenkins, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and 62nd District Kansas Representative Randy Garber.

A crowd of 70 people gathered for a meal of hamburgers and brats with baked beans, chips and watermelon under the north shel-ter house in the Seneca City Park.

Pastor Curtis Knapp opened the evening with a prayer followed by Republican Committee Chairman Ray Shinn welcoming everyone and introducing the guests.

Republican Committee Vice Chairperson Dort Goodman ex-plained the chance drawing for a gun at the end of the evening.

Congresswoman Jenkins in-formed the audience on the di-rection Congress has taken to support the administration and on current laws that have taken place since the election.

She also spoke about Health-care, the economy, reversing federal regulations, the TPP and NAFTA.

Secretary Kobach explained the reasons he is a strong supporter of legal immigration and reshaping federal immigration laws.

The Secretary has also been ap-pointed as vice chairman of the Presidential Advisory Commis-sion on election integrity.

Kobach explained the reasons it is so difficult to pass laws that the public favors but the current Kansas judges do not.

He also announced that he is running for the Kansas Governor in 2018. He touched on funding public education and its pitfalls.

Representative Garber endorsed many of Kobach’s remarks and thought that the legislature spends too much of the taxpayers’ mon-ey. There needs to be a common ground, he said.

Representative Kevin Jones from Wellsville introduced him-self and informed the audience that he is running for the 2nd Dis-trict U.S. Congressional seat that will be open as Congresswoman Jenkins is stepping down.

He is presently serving as Kan-

sas Representative for the 5th Dis-trict.

Secretary Kobach’s 7-year-old daughter drew the winning name for the gun raffle — Dennis Goodman. The rest of the evening was open for questions from the audience and visiting.

OLD ALBANY DAYS

Putting food on the tableSubmitted by Travis McCoyThe quarry draws near, you

feel the weight of the rif le in your hands, the balance toward the muzzle end, making it hard to hold steady as you draw your breath and begin to let it out slowly.

The hammer is thumbed back and as you align the sights, you lightly squeeze the trigger and feel a heavy push from the stock.

You hear a thunderous crack and see a billowing cloud of white smoke.

The hunt is finished and now it is time for supper.

You break tiny twigs and gather them in a pile near you. The flint is sharp and the steel cold as you grasp the striker in your fingers. Your char cloth and tinder even-tually catch the faintest spark and you gently blow on it to fan the flame.

Soon you have a nice small blaze going and it is time to start cook-ing.

Join us Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 9 and 10, at Old Albany Days. Come out and participate in the Pioneer Contests.

If you aren’t the competitive

type, then come out and watch the excitement.

Now, I’m sure there are some safety concerns. No need to worry, we will be using blank black pow-der rounds and balloons to shoot at. There will be an attendant to

help with loading and firing.Everyone 10 and older is wel-

come to come compete in the contest.

Pre-registration is Saturday at noon at the Information Building near the front gate.

SOLAR ECLIPSE

Local photographer travels west to ensure clear skies for eclipse viewing, photos

HERALD REPORT

For those wondering what it must have been like to be a traveler searching for a spot to view the eclipse, an area professional pho-tographer shares his experience of doing just that.

Harland Schuster, a professional photogra-pher in Morrill, made the decision to travel westward to ensure clear skies to view and photograph the Monday, Aug. 21, total solar eclipse.

“Originally, we had intended on shoot-ing the eclipse here, but when the forecast started looking ‘iffy,’ we decided to head north to the Broken Bow, Neb., area which at the time had a good forecast,” Schuster said. “We stayed at Burwell, Neb., Saturday and Sunday.”

By Sunday, Aug. 20, Schuster said the forecast for the Broken Bow area also had deteriorated, so he decided to make the five-hour drive from Burwell, Neb., to the area south of Harrison, Neb., which had a clear sky forecast.

“We arrived in the area of Agate Fossil Beds National Monument about two hours

before the eclipse, and the highway was lined with people,” Schuster said. “It looked like a real circus in progress, so we headed off the highway on a back road. People were parked along it, too, but they thinned out after about a mile and eventually we got to a good spot and set things up.”

Schuster says that viewing the eclipse was worth the drive.

“The wind had been blowing, but at total-ity it became calm. The temperature cooled down by at least 10 degrees,” Schuster said. “The light became dim, and there was a strange, unnatural twilight for 360 degrees on the horizon. The color of the light was unlike anything I’ve seen before.”

“At totality, the cattle in the nearby pas-tures became unsettled with the calves call-ing for their mothers and the cows calling for their calves,” Schuster said. “We had 2-1/2 minutes of totality at our location, but it only seemed to last a few seconds.

Later, Schuster said, he found out that the skies did clear around Broken Bow, but he would have been a “nervous wreck” if they had stayed there “hoping for the overcast to clear in time.”

City considers replacement flooring for multipurpose roomCITY.1A

spread herself too thin by making many different delectable treats, so she stuck to one she knew well — cupcakes.

“I will make a cake occasion-ally when someone really needs it,” Debbie said, adding that she mostly enjoys making cupcakes or cupcake cakes.

A TASTE FOR EVERYONE“Recipes are not rules you

have to follow,” Debbie said. She has recipes, but modifies when needed.

A steady hand is key when deco-rating cupcakes, Debbie said.

“This is not a skill I was born with,” she said. “It takes a lot of practice to find your technique.”

Taste Like Love Cupcakes currently features 16 signature recipes. For the chocolate lov-ers, Debbie features six varieties — chocolate eclair, black velvet, turtle, chocolate jalepeño, choco-late mint and German chocolate. Other sweet f lavors include ba-nana split, Hawaiian, lemon me-ringue, piña colada, red velvet and breakfast.

For the health conscious, Deb-bie offers gluten free strawberry and blueberry, and sugar free chocolate and vanilla.

If none of those options suit your fancy, you can create your own combination. With cake bases of chocolate, lemon, pine-apple, strawberry and white, you can select your own favorite but-tercream frosting — almond, car-amel, chocolate, coconut, maple, mint, peanut butter and vanilla.

A favorite among customers, Debbie said, is the turtle cup-cake, which is chocolate cake topped with caramel buttercream, chopped pecans and caramel driz-zle. Debbie’s favorite, though, is the German chocolate.

A TASTEFUL WAYJodi Broxterman ordered cup-

cakes for a graduation party and appreciated how easy it was to work with Debbie.

“They were beautiful and tasted amazing,” Jodi said of the cup-cakes she ordered from Taste Like Love. Jodi said the service Debbie provided was “top notch” and she highly recommended her.

“Working with Debbie was wonderful,” said Laeny Edelman Bauman, who ordered 320 as-sorted flavor cupcakes from Taste Like Love for her wedding recep-tion. Debbie decorated, delivered and helped set up the cupcakes at the wedding reception.

“I sent her pictures of ideas I

had and she added her own touch and they turned out beautiful,” Laeny said. “We got so many com-pliments on the taste, and I was so happy with how they looked.”

A taste for organizationWith any business, organiza-

tion is key to success and Debbie’s method is sticky notes.

“Sticky notes and a great mem-ory,” she said. “I have tried several different options for keeping track of orders, but I always return to sticky notes.”

Along with her sticky-note method, Debbie also heavily re-lies on her pink toolbox chest on wheels. The multi-drawer unit has ample storage for sprinkles, cupcake liners, pans, frosting tips and many other tools. Two Bosch mixers are perched on top of the unit for easy access.

ABOUT DEBBIEDebbie’s other hobbies are

much like baking and creating new recipes — she loves to create things.

“Most of my interests are in building things,” she said. “Mak-ing something out of nothing is my biggest hobby.”

Outside of Taste Like Love Cupcakes, Debbie works at the Prairie Hills USD No. 113 Board of Education Office as the district

accounts payable clerk. She lives with her significant other, Kevin, and his two children. She is a na-tive of Holton, where her mother and brother still reside.

Bluejays kick off season at Marysville InvitationalAMBER DETERS

The Sabetha High School vol-leyball team is back at the net for another season, under the helm of a new head coach, Abby Stueve.

After an intra-squad scrimmage on Friday, the Lady Jays set out for Marysville to compete in the annual Marysville Invitational on Saturday, Aug. 26.

Although Sabetha fell to its four opponents — Hanover, Concor-dia, Royal Valley and Washington County — Stueve said she is excit-ed with the team’s fundamentals and attitude.

“The girls had energy and en-thusiasm on the court and on the bench,” Stueve said. “We didn’t come out of the tournament with the record we wanted, but this tournament is not the defining moment for our season.”

“I’m excited to see this team displaying solid fundamentals,” Stueve said. “We passed extremely well and have our minds set on our end goal. As a coaching staff ,we are making some changes to our defense and practice plans to refine some skills.”

Sabetha fell to Hanover in two sets — 20-25 and 25-27; and lost to Concordia in two sets — 11-25 and 15-25.

The Lady Jays topped Royal Valley in the first set, 25-22, but fell in the second two — 13-25 and 18-25 — to drop the match.

In similar fashion, Sabetha beat Washington County in the first set — 30-28 — but lost in the sec-ond two — 22-25 and 16-25 — to drop their final match of the day.

For the day, Sabetha served 88.5 percent — tallying 24 service aces. Offensively, the team had 72 kills. Defensively, the team tallied 133 total digs and 20 blocks.

Next up, Sabetha will compete at Jeff West on Thursday, Aug. 31.

You missed, part 2

We took off through the camel thorn trees walking single file with Frank the tracker leading the small procession.

It was a perfect day for a stalk. There was no wind blowing as we slowly made our way toward the unsuspecting Blesbok. As we edged closer, we could spot several of the skittish creatures calmly grazing among the trees.

There was not a word being spoken. If Frank moved forward, Ockert and I did as well. If Frank crouched down, we did the same.

We now had several of the Blesbok within a couple of hun-dred yards of us.

We kept the trees and some small shrubs between us and the animals. Frank was now crouched down behind several clumped together shrubs.

Ockert and I were about 25 yards behind and slowly working our way forward. We all began to glass the Blesbok. There was a lot of talking in a different language going on between Frank and Ockert. After what seemed like an eternity to me, the language reverted back to something I could translate.

“We need to crawl forward to that next clump of brush,” Ockert whispered. “There are some more animals off to the right that we cannot see from here. We want to make sure we get a good look at all of them.”

So off we went on our bellies crawling through the dry, dusty red dirt. We only had to crawl about 50 yards, but it sure seemed a lot longer than that.

After what seemed like a long period of time, we made our way up to the shrubs. It was a perfect setup. We had a large camel thorn tree surrounded by a lot of shrubs. Once again, the glassing process commenced.

We had a group of about 20 Blesbok out in front of us. Some were lying down and other were plac-idly grazing. They had no clue we were there.

After about 10 minutes, Ockert scooted over by my side and whispered in my ear, “We want the one that is third from the left of the two animals lying side by side.”

“No problem,” I responded. We crept over to our right and forward to where

Frank was setting up the shooting sticks. This was going to be like shooting a fish in a barrel!

I moved up behind the sticks and placed the .300 Winchester Magnum on the sticks. Once more, Ockert whispered to me which Blesbok we wanted to knock down. I nodded in affirmation and began to get settled in behind the sticks.

The Blesbok I was looking at through the scope was a fine specimen. He had long horns that curled back and swept back up with nice long tips.

He was standing broadside to me at a distance of 150 yards. I had been making up to 300 yard shots all week, so in my mind this was a slam dunk.

I put my finger forward on the trigger and began to slowly squeeze. The rifle jumped. I lost

sight of the Blesbok in the scope with the recoil of the shot.

I raised up to fully expect to see a nice Blesbok dropping to the ground with four feet up in the air. What I did see when I got my bearings straight out in front of me was a large cloud of dust from the fleeing Blesbok.

Where once stood a potential trophy Blesbok, now stood nothing. I looked at Ockert. He was already staring at me.

“You missed,” he said. “I can’t believe I missed him,” I said. “I can’t either!” Ockert said. “It doesn’t get much

easier than that.” We went out to where the animal stood and then

tracked his getaway path to make sure there was not blood.

“I know you shot right over his back,” Ockert said.

I was devastated. The look on Frank the tracker’s face made me feel even worse. I had just let my two hunting partners down. The hike back to the waiting Land Cruiser was long. I had just blown a really easy shot.

“Don’t worry my friend, we will have another opportunity,” Ockert offered.

I hoped he was right. Little did I know that it would come the very next day.

SHS students get ‘reality check’

HERALD REPORT

Sabetha High School students participated in Reality U on the first day of school - Thursday, August 17.

According to SHS Principal Sheri Harmer, Reality U is a finan-cial literacy education program that is a highly interactive simula-

tion of adult life to give students a “reality check.”

As a result, students hopefully will recognize that their perfor-mance in school is critical to their future success as adults, Harmer said.

Approximately 26 community volunteers were involved in the process.

Fun By The NumbersHere’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the number will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle.
