Chapman City Council members were introduced to a new concept in parking which, if eventually approved, could be imple - mented on the west side of downtown Marshall Street at a future time. The concept is called “Reverse Angle Parking” which City Administrator Austin St. James said can bring about a safer community. The idea was shared at the council

meeting held November 12 at the City Hall.

“It’s new, it’s different, and it’s cutting edge,” St. John said.

Reverse angle parking is similar to traditional diago - nal parking, except the angles are painted in the opposite direction, and driv - ers enter an angle parking space by backing into it instead of pulling forward. It operates under the basic premise that it’s always bet - ter to reverse into the known versus into the unknown,

according to a handout St. John gave to council mem - bers. The handout explained that with reverse angle park - ing, drivers are able to see a parking space before back - ing into it - a far better option than traditional diagonal parking, which requires backing out of a space into unknown con - ditions due to obstruction of vision.

St. John admitted it is new and very controversial, and not happening as much as it

Chapman Middle School students adopted the Abilene Animal Hospital (AAH) for the month of October in recognition of “Adopt a Shelter Dog” month.

“We improvised a little


because we could not real - istically adopt a shelter dog, said counselor Darlene Langley. “Since there is no animal shelter in Abilene, we wanted to help AAH in their efforts to save lives as they work with stray and abandoned animals in the community.”

The middle school stu -

dents collected clean used towels, sheets, blankets, col - lars, leashes, and also cash donations to help AAH buy Science Diet pet food.

Several of the students also took time out one after - noon to make healthy dog treats which were also pre - sented to the animal hos - pital.

A Community Thanksgiving Service, sponsored by St. Michael’s Catholic Church, Scherer Memorial Lutheran Church, and Chapman United Methodist Church will be held at 7 p.m. on Sunday evening, November 23, at Chapman United Methodist Church at Fifth and Sheeran. During the service a free-will offering will be taken to bene - fit the transient need fund of the churches.

A fellowship time will follow the service in CUMC’s fel - lowship hall area.

The entire community is invited.


USD 473 Board members approved a resolution at the November 10 board meeting that offers them a back up plan should funding be slow to arrive. They now have authority to use Capital Outlay money within the budget starting with the 2015-16 school year.

Superintendent Lacee Sell said a change in legislation allows for many additional expenditures to come out of the capital outlay fund. She said under the resolution salaries, such as classified custodial, can now be taken from capital outlay. Also on the list are new items which are now eligible expenditures, including boilers, buildings, furniture, ath - letic equipment, computer equipment, library books, math labs, uniforms, and repairs to vehicles.

Sell said she had no intention of using any capital outlay expenditures on the newly eligible items, because at this time the district is maintaining the cost of them within its budget and that plan is going forward.

“However if state aid didn’t come through or tax money, and we got into a situation where we had to use the money until we were paid correctly, we’d have authority to do this,” Sell said.

Sell asked the board to determine a mil levy, and specify a period of time.

The Chapman School District is made up of several schools, including a high school, middle school, and four elementary schools. While the cities of Chapman and Enterprise are home to a grade school, there are two other grade schools, Rural Center and Blue Ridge, situated in the heart of two farming communi - ties. Blue Ridge is located at 1539 Highway 18, Abilene, and Rural Center is south of Abilene at 902 1400 Avenue.

The district is currently working on a project called “Grow Rural Center” and wants to make sure families within the Rural Center (RC) Elementary School com - munity are aware of what the school has to offer, and to also learn what needs there are in the community that the school could help fill.

Rural Center’s mission is identical to the other Chapman schools, “to provide a safe and positive learning environment which will empower all stu - dents to learn and achieve to their maximum poten - tial and become responsible productive citizens.”

The enrollment for the K-5 RC Elementary School includes five students in kindergarten, eight in first grade, one in second grade, nine in third grade, eight in fourth, and three in fifth grade, for a total of 34 stu - dents. The kindergartners and first graders are com - bined under one teacher, as is the second and third grades, and the fourth and fifth grades.

RC secretary Patti Anderes said the family atmos -

phere at the school adds to the benefits of those who attend.

“Some of the greatest benefits to attend are the fam - ily atmosphere, students learning to be a group, small classrooms, and more activities than one can imagine,” Anderes said. She said among the activities are real Christmas and spring programs, field trips, science activities, technology, with one-on-one iPads and computers, and healthy home made food.

“We also have buddy reading, featured art twice a month, and the entire school works as a group - so many things that large schools cannot attempt,” Anderes said.

A “Grow Rural Center” meeting was held on October 28 with all staff members and five com - munity families attending. Superintendent Lacee Sell said at the November 10 school board meeting that discussion among the group included a before and after school program, preschool, and Ag studies in the curriculum itself.

She said folks had contacted her about getting involved in sharing, whether by a visit to the farm, or bringing things into the classroom.

Sell said there were possibly nine children in the RC community who would be attending kindergarten next year.

“There are lots and lots of kids out there with fami - lies who will be in our system soon. It’s just a matter of talking to people and asking ‘Why do you appre - ciate RC; why do you continue coming here? And

75 Years Ago William W Right, of

Kingman, recently assumed management of the Standard Oil Station on East Fourth street. The business was for - merly operated by Eddie Hasselman and Eddie McLaughlin.

This writer does not know which station this was as there were two on East Fourth. Or it could have been where Haynes had a station just before you left the city limits.

The manager of this divi - sion of the Union Pacific Railroad this week sent word to F.F. Hadsell, station agent, that the Boy Scouts could have the railroad building which was for - merly used as a coal house free of charge. The Scouts had offered to pay $5 for the building. The boys will move the building from it’s present location to their camp near Chapman and convert it into a cook house.

I am sure there are quite a few readers who remember this building and just where the Scouts had their camp. And is the building still in place or is it gone?

50 Years Ago Achievement Day was

sixth graders paraded before judges in their Halloween costumes Tuesday at Enterprise ele - mentary. Winners of vari - ous categories included Jeremy Breeden and Kristi Johnson, pre-school ages 1- 2; Dusty Emig and Chris Jaderborg, pre-school, ages 3-4; Gregory Creech and Grandy Jaderborg, Kindergarten; Kyle Haslouer and Heather Anderson, first grade; Heather Vaughn and Daniel Olson, second grade; Brandy Trower and Greg Cook, third grade; Sheryl Dunham and Michael Stirtz, fourth grade; Mary Riffel and Beau Miller fifth grade; Nichole Cook and Kenny Clark, sixth grade; and Jessie Sergott and Jake Breeden.

I don’t know how many years Danny taught school. His dad, Ralph, was man - ager for the Pearl Coop and when he retired Danny became the manager and remained in that position until he retired. Today he is enjoying his retirement and probably occasionally remi - niscing the days gone by.

It was great to hear at the Chapman City meeting last Wednesday that the city will be vac - uuming leaves this year after all. Many people had already anticipated the city’s help, and their leaves were raked to the curb a cou - ple weeks ago. A few of the rest of us will have some time, as the pick up will not start until after Thanksgiving. Last week we were told that with the shortage of a city employee, that the pickup would not be taking place, but a hiring took place, so this is great news for everyone who appreciates the city’s help with fallen leaves. To have the city pick up your leaves, just rake them to the edge of the curb, so they’ll be ready when the city is able to get to the work in December.

• Last week was quite a week for Kansas weather. We went from warm temps last Monday wearing t-shirts and shorts, and then an arc - tic blast made its way to town by Monday evening and stayed the whole week, as we endured high temps in the 20s or below most days. Wednesday’s big event was an earthquake at about 3:30 p.m.! I got an email from my husband, Steve, who was at Ft. Riley, who asked if we felt the earthquake. I had not felt it here at the News- Times office, and neither did Chip Edwards at the Insurance Store across the hallway, but across the street at the City Hall, City Clerk Terra Hummel said she felt it. She even commented to a customer, Mitch Morgan, that we just had a small earthquake! Mitch told her he didn’t feel it, but he did hear the building creak. Chip’s wife Janet also felt the rumbling at their home north of Chapman. The

tremors were felt in Salina, Abilene, Fort Riley, and

beyond. The news came that the quake was a 4.8 at Conway Springs, Kan., southwest of Wichita. I haven’t heard of any dam - age in the Chapman area, but towns near Conway Springs

did suffer some building damage.

• A segment on the 2014 Kansas Barn Alliance Barn Fest, which features Chapman area stone barns, will air on Sunflower Journeys on KTWU tonight November 20 at 7 p.m. Event coordinator Lori Hambright said the channels to watch are Channel 11 (Topeka); Ch. 8 or 9 for Wichita. This event held south of Chapman was the biggest Barn Fest confer - ence and tour of the KBA yet, according to Lori. People can also view the seg - ment after November 20 on the KTWU website: http:// www.ktwu.org. It will also be re-run occasionally on TV. The barns featured at the 2014 Barn Fest were those of Dale and Sonya Anders, Gordon and Joyce Taylor, Jim and Jean Wohler, and the Harlan Janke farm. It is exciting to have our local barns featured on Sunflower Journeys, a show which highlights so many interest - ing things in Kansas.

• Earl A. Edwards Sr., 96, from the Chapman Class of 1938, and longtime resident of San Diego, has recently moved to The Veranda, an assisted living facility in Dayton, Tenn. His daughter, Judy Schmidt, wrote in to provide a change of address and shared some back - ground on Earl’s life. He grew up a “simple farm boy” starting his education in a one room school house where heat was the pot bel - lied stove that sat in the back of the room. From high school in Chapman, Earl went to Kansas Wesleyan in

C h ases to celeb rate 50th an n iv ersary

Kenneth and Sharon Chase of rural Abilene will be celebrat - ing their 50th wedding anniversary Friday, November 21 at the Abilene Elks Lodge from 7- 10 p.m. Friends and family are welcome to come share their 50 years of memories and help celebrate.

Town and Country Veterinary Hospital, Bluestem Veterinary Services, Mills Veterinary Services and Abilene Animal Health Hospital recently made a donation to the Chapman FFA chapter.

“We’re excited to be able to support our local FFA chapter,” Dr. Bob Haynes said. “The FFA teaches our youth invaluable leadership, personal growth and career success skills. We’re proud to contribute to their efforts.”

The donation was made

possible by a Zoetis Animal Health program. For eligible purchases of Zoetis Animal Health cattle vaccines, a donation of three percent was made on behalf of the four Veterinary Clinics to the Chapman FFA chapter.

The chapter and it’s stu - dent members will use the funding for help with class - room materials, educational opportunities, travel to national convention and various other needs that may arise throughout the year.

“Each year we receive tre -

mendous support from local veterinarian clinics and hos - pitals through the Zoetis Animal Health program,” chapter advisor Trenton Horn said. “Their support helps our chapter members to achieve success through their participation in lead - ership development activi - ties as well as career devel - opment events.”

Anyone interested in sup - porting the organization through a donation or vol - unteering, may contact the local FFA chapter, or visit FFA.org.

Salina; and after enlisting and serving in the Navy, he was able to go to the University of Kansas on the GI Bill. He continued his education throughout his life, earning his Masters and more. Judy wrote that Earl went on to great things in the medical arena, holding a patent, writing over 73 peer reviewed publications, chap - ters in textbooks, teaching in various parts of the world, and working in microbiol - ogy and immunology. Judy said her father is still doing quite well, and that his six children are very happy to have him nearer to family.

• The word from our city inspector Ty Lemon is that Dollar General could pos - sibly have what they call a “soft opening” this Saturday, November 22. If so, they will open for business, but it will also be a time of learning the operations. A grand opening may possibly take place later.

walk to the sidewalk, instead of into the street.

When leaving the parking place, pulling out of the reverse parking place in a forward fashion would also allow for better vision of oncoming traffic.

“It might be hard, but edu - cating the public will help,” St. John said.

St. John said the steps to perform reverse angle park was to signal, pull forward, and then back in.

City Attorney John Purvis said in his practice, he tended to represent people that back out.

“There isn’t any good way around it. When you back out, you take a chance, it’s a gamble. The way the law looks at it, if you’re backing and whack somebody, then you are the one at fault auto - matically - so there’s not a whole lot you can do,” Purvis said. “The other thing I think about is our aging population, and being able to turn all the way around and look back. These are things you should look at.”

Councilman Tim Jury said with modern cars there are mirrors and cameras to show what is behind cars, but even with those, there are still dangers.

Police Chief Emil Halfhill said the concept was new to him. He pictured cars going north and pulling into the parking places on the west side of Marshall.

“It’s different. I want to be supportive, but need time to wrap my head around it.” Halfhill said. He said a grace period would be needed as people got familiar with the process, but he also saw the simplicity of pulling out into

could be because people don’t want to change their ways.

“No one wants to change their mindset from pulling in, the way things are done now,” St. John said.

But he felt the change would be a step for the future of a growing progres - sive town.

“It’s just a change from pulling in as we do now, to backing in instead at an opposite angle,” St. John said. “If we are serious about building up our downtown and making it more business friendly and people friendly, this might be something that’s maybe a little crazy in the first place, but people would get used to it.”

St. John said he had visited with some people at the Chapman Senior Center about the concept, and had received both negative and positive feedback.

“It’s a change in mindset - that’s pretty much all it is, but it brings about a little safer community,” St. John said.

A recent study in Pottstown, Penn., found a 25 percent reduction in the number of accidents as a result of the reverse angle parking, according to the handout. The study also found a 43 percent reduction in accidents involving inju - ries related to parking.

He described the scenario that happens now with for - ward angle parking, where children get out of the car only to have a door blocking the way to the sidewalk. He said with reverse angle park - ing, the door would be opened toward the sidewalk, and children would easily

traffic as opposed to backing out into traffic.

St. John said a point for those who oppose backing into an empty parking space would be: “If you can’t back into an empty spot, why do we want you backing into traffic?”

St. John said those present - ing the concept at a meeting he attended said a learning period is helpful, and it was suggested getting the high school involved.

“They said to have fun with it, and educate the town,” St. John said.

St. John said there are cities which are trying it, including Topeka, and many others listed in the handout. Jury liked the new parking con - cept, and noted he saw the parking used in several little towns in Minnesota during a trip he recently took.

“I think it would be real progressive,” Jury said.

Mayor Phil Weishaar said no vote should be taken at this time, but told St. John to discuss the matter with Chapman High School Principal Kevin Suther, to see if they may want to partici - pate with their angle parking on Old 40 Highway.

St. John agreed to talk to Suther. He also thought it would be okay to introduce the new parking concept in the small area of downtown Marshall Street first, and wait to implement it to other places in time, allowing time for people to get adjusted to the new concept.

Halfhill discusses expanded coverage

Police Chief Emil Halfhill spoke to the council about extending police coverage further north on Marshall

Ave./Rain Road, and the possibility of also encom - passing Interstate 70 Highway. Halfhill said the idea of extending coverage was presented to him by Robert Hamilton, the law enforcement liaison for KDOT last year when Halfhill first came to Chapman.

Halfhill said both of his officers thought the idea was a good one, and that Sgt. Diercks and Halfhill had both worked county roads and interstate before.

Halfhill said the interstate area that could be patrolled by Chapman would be the mile from Quail Road to Red Road. He noted as the city has grown northward, two businesses had already been incorporated.

He said it would make Chapman’s footprint larger, and allow the police depart - ment to regulate law enforce - ment on that mile, including the on and off exit ramps.

Currently Chapman assists with interstate accidents or incidents if requested, but is not responsible to cover the interstate. Halfhill said KDOT would still blade the interstate, mow it, and fix it, but the police would do law enforcement. The Kansas Highway Patrol and Dickinson County Sheriff’s Dept. would still have their jurisdiction in the area as well.

Halfhill said if the RV Park takes off like the owner envi - sions, there is concern about the speed limit in the area of the RV Park and Dara’s. He said if they took on respon - sibility, they could control the speed limit.

“You can’t see to the south,

and people are coming too fast from the north, “ Halfhill said. “I can envision a bad situation for campers pulling into the area with that speed.”

Attorney John Purvis agreed that since growth is taking place on the north edge of town, extending police coverage would give Chapman more ability to control speed, or make changes.

Discussion took place con - cerning the idea, and while council members agreed for extended coverage north on Rain Road, they were not in favor of the Chapman Police Department having respon - sibility on the interstate itself.

Councilman Jeff Blixt asked Halfhill if there was a pos - sible compromise. He asked Halfhill to do more research to see if Chapman could assume authority under the interstate to 2725 Ave., which is north of I-70, without going onto interstate.

No action was taken on the matter, and Halfhill agreed to look further into the matter with the limited coverage.

City plans leaf pick up Due to shortage of one city

worker, plans had been scrapped for leaf pick up this year, but with the hiring of a new employee, Austin St. John said hopefully it could be scheduled. Mayor Phil Weishaar said he’d like to see it happen, and Jury said he noticed several residents who had raked their leaves to the curb in anticipation of the city picking them up.

Bobby Kamm said weather permitting and if everything goes right, it would be worked into a busy schedule, but that it would take place

after Thanksgiving. Weishaar noted that last year it also took place in December.

St. John said to look on Facebook for updates and announcements.

In other business, the council:

• Approved a project plan from the Chapman Girl Scout Troop 20177 and leader Christine Collins. The project is painting items at the City Park and city fire hydrants in order to earn a Bronze Badge. The work is to be completed by October, 2015.

• Heard from Chief Halfhill about a ‘No Smoking’ ordinance for City Parks and Sports Complex. The council requested that St. John inquire to other cities to see how they handled the matter, and will discuss the issue again next month.

• Approved the re- codification service of ordi - nances to update ordinances and place them online. The council approved the bid from City Code Financial of $3,750 for re-codification and also an annual fee of $750 to update.

• Heard from Public Works director Bobby Kamm that the crews were working on Christmas lights and many other projects around town. He and Ryan Hall had com - pleted work at the new lift pump, and it was running very well. The next lift pump will be worked on next spring or summer.

• Heard from St. John that City Hall will host an Open House during the November 28 Hometown Country Christmas for residents to visit the new location at the former Astra Bank.

The following is based on early newspaper reports and otherwise subject to error. The Democrats were broadly endorsed by the Salina Journal, the GOP by the Wall St. Journal and Bill Snyder. Thanks to County Clerk Barbara Jones for precinct printouts.

In a part of Lyon township Davis had 12 votes, Brownback 11. In Herington Ward 1, Orman bested Roberts 105-104 and Davis beat Brownback 121-80. These apparently were the only Democrat wins in the 32 precincts in Dickinson County.

County vote: Governor: Brownback 50 percent, Lib. 4 percent; Senator: Roberts 53 percent; Sec. State: Kobach 60 percent; Attorney General: Schmidt 65 percent; Treasurer: Estes 69 percent; Ins. Comm.: Selzer 59 percent; Congress 1; Huelskamp 68 per - cent.

In most of the county we are all alike, vote alike, easy for pollsters.

Democrats centered on Davis for Governor. He lost their ticket in all but a few precincts. He lost the five Abilene wards: 39-30-41-40-36 percent (south to north), lost Grant 32 percent, Solomon 32 percent, Hope 44 percent, Chapman 37 percent, Enterprise 25 percent, Herington (3 wards) 54-45-37 percent, Talmage 27 percent, Woodbine 39 percent. Sherow lost to Huelskamp in Abilene 38-35-34-38-32 percent.

Voters with land line telephones (going fast) were besieged with calls and mailings for Roberts, Jerry Moran to the rescue!

Voters at Enterprise (340): Senate: Roberts 250, Orman 78, Batson 17. Congress: Huelskamp 264, Sherow 77. Governor: Brownback 235, Davis 86, Umbehr 26. Secretary of State: Kobach 272, Schodorf 73. Attorney General: Schmidt 283, Kotich 55. Sales Tax: Yes 155, No 177.

Votes at Chapman (581): Senate: Roberts 363, Orman 175, Batson 37. Congress: Huelskamp 404, Sherow 166. Secretary of State: Kobach 414, Schodorf 164. Attorney General: Schmidt 283, Kotich 55. Sales tax: Yes 155, No 177. Voters elsewhere: Herington 594, Solomon 496, Grant 374, Abilene 2,121.

• Jake and Matt Manda joined Beta Theta Pi at KSU and KU, friends of Brent McKeeman. Matt, for - mer Jerry Moran assistant, is engaged with Elise Stefanik, 30, just elected to Congress from New York.

• We have predicted Republican victories for years, finally was right this time. We predicted 10 Senate gains, were wrong about New Hampshire. We predicted 26 House gains. There were 16.

Ann Coulter writes: “Republicans have just elected: the youngest member of Congress (Elise Stefanik of New York; the first black female rep - resentative from Utah (Miss Love), the first black Senator from the South since Reconstruction (Time Scott). The two black senators from the South before that were also Republican, as was the first black senator from the North, Edward Brooke (Mass.).”

• We have just read “Governor Charles Robinson of Kansas” written by Don W. Wilson in 1975, owned by us since then. We think Wilson was at the Eisenhower Library, lived in Abilene. He mentions John Wickman in his Preface. Another former Library archivist of that time, Richard Norton Smith, has a new book out, “On His Own Terms” a biog - raphy of Nelson Rockefeller, former governor of New York, candidate for the Republican nomination for President. Smith says Rockefeller, who we sup - ported, was a “compulsive philander,” coming to light with his sensational death in the company of his latest mistress in 1979. When a younger woman asked him how it felt to be rich, Rockefeller replied “Fine, how’s it feel to be good looking?”

Governor Robinson grew up in Massachusetts, had five brothers, four sisters. A teacher friend mar - ried his sister Samantha. When she died the teacher married sister Phoebe, 1842. When Phoebe died, 1852, he married the third sister Martha.

• Brent McKeeman paid the Methodist Women $2,100 for their quilt. May there be more.

A P asto r’s V iew p o in t Teller Tales by Reed H o ffm a n

by Rev . K en Trickle, Jr. Chapman United Methodist Church

Getting Angry at God My adult social issues

Sunday School class is cur - rently studying a book titled “Why?” written by Adam Hamilton. Adam Hamilton is the Senior Pastor at the Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kan. The Church of the Resurrection is one of our denomi - nation’s mega churches with a membership of approximately 20,000 peo - ple. It is an amazing story. The congregation began in a funeral parlor in 1990 with 90 people, and from that point under Hamilton’s leadership, the church has enjoyed amazing growth and influence.

In “Why?” Hamilton attacks some of the most

challenging questions facing Christians: Why do innocent people suffer? Why do prayers go unanswered?

In the opening chapter Reverend Hamilton relates an incident that occurs in an airport. A woman is seated

waiting for her flight. She looks up at the television screen to learn that a natural disaster has forced millions from their homes in a poor country. Television shows scenes of devasta -

tion and a reporter speaks of how many people lost their lives in a particular city. Speaking to no one in par - ticular, but loud enough that those nearby her could hear, the woman says, “How can you still believe in God when you’ve seen some - thing like that?”

It is an age-old question.

Why do bad things happen to good people?

We know that God gave us the freedom to make choices. He does not force his will upon us, at least not in most situations. All of that began with Adam and Eve. They were placed in a wonderful situation, the perfection of the Garden of Eden. They were forbidden to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. That was God’s only directive, but they made a very bad decision. Just like people living now, they were given the freedom to choose. We know that human suffering results from bad choices.

But what about natural disasters? Hamilton has an interesting take on this. Tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes are just acts of God. Earthquakes are a result of the movement of the earth’s plates. This proc -

ess is designed to keep the core of our planet from over - heating. Adam Hamilton calls this an amazing feat of physics and engineering. Without it the earth could not support life. Also, the monsoons that bring terrible flooding are part of the earth’s system for cooling our atmosphere.

Sometimes we are tempted to become angry at God. All of us suffer misfortunes from time to time, but God created a magnificent uni - verse. The earth operates as an absolutely complex yet wonderful machine. God gave human beings domin - ion over the world, and we have the responsibility for doing our best to care for it.

Most of all, our creator is merciful, just, and loving. Whatever happens, God is with us, and God hears our prayers.

Letter to the Editor Since I see many people sometimes take our Freedom

for granted, I will put it in my perspective. Since we celebrate two holidays this month, I do both

honor the Veterans and be thankful for my freedom. Many thanks for the veterans who took the orders to

liberate Europe on 6 June 1944, even though most did not even know what they were in for.

Many thanks for the veteran who told my Grandpa, that he needs to get up early and which line he needs to be in, so he could be a POW in France instead of Russia. He came home after 5 years instead of never.

Many thanks for the veterans who treated and fed my uncle very well as a POW in the American camp, who had always a highly respect for Americans.

Many thanks for the veterans who carried my Great- Grandma out of the bombed cellar because she was wheel chair bound.

Many thanks for the veterans, who buried boxes with food for my family and town people, even so if they got caught they would be punished.

Many thanks for the veterans who participated in the Berlin Airlift from 24 June 1948 to 12 May 1949. Who flew countless flights with necessary cargo like food and coal, to keep Berlin free after the Soviets blocked the supply route to the west sector of Berlin.

Many thanks for all the veterans who stood and still stand guard day and night to keep us free, which I espe - cially felt what Freedom means when I visit my relative in the former Czechoslovakia.

Many thanks for all the veterans who fought and still fight for our freedom. For the ones who got wounded and injured and for the ones who gave their ultimate sacrifice.

Thank you and God Bless. Beatrice Bacon,

Abilene, Kan.

T -sh irts are g o o d

Jyll Phillips

Slightly Off-Key my son is Chief Petty Officer and stationed in San Diego. Weird.

On my way to my car I remembered my column about flirting and how a smile or a friendly hello could be construed as such. OMG! Was he flirting with me??? And I’m wearing a t- shirt and a ponytail??? And it’s ME! And I’m kind of ... well ... aged.

My smile faded as I approached my car and saw my tire, which now more resembled a puddle of melted rubber. Uh oh.

I walked to the booth where you pay for parking and simply stated that I had a flat tire. They’ll send some - one they said. A big burly man with a sizable air com - pressor pulled up. He looked like an angel to me.

I made it about half a mile to a big box store with a tire center before it flattened again. I walked inside, explained my dilemma, handed them my keys and set off to find a sandwich while I waited.

The girl behind the sand - wich counter struck up a conversation with me while she fixed my tuna salad sandwich, telling me her husband was in the Navy and she was glad to be home and did my son have kids and is it hard on them, etc. etc. She concluded the con - versation with, “tell him thank you for his service.”

I thought about my day as I drove home. I handled a crisis without freaking out or spending all day waiting for a new tire. I put my boots on standing on one leg at a time without a chair to lean on. I met a very sweet girl making sandwiches. I delivered my ward safely, got winked at, and I think a handsome pilot flirted with me!

All because I decided to wear a t-shirt! I think I need a dozen of these shirts!

phone call later, we are on our way to the gate.

As we were nearing the ramp a young man came scurrying passed us, his flight apparently just coming in. He turned and looked at me and said “thank you for your service.”

It was then I realized I was wearing my Navy Mom t- shirt. But ... my service? Well, I guess I did go through some pretty hard labor getting that sailor into the world.

I smiled. My headache went away.

Being a minor, and on her own except for a plane full of other passengers, my little friend was in the first board - ing group. As she made her way, a very nice looking traveling businessman smiled at me and asked if she would need help finding her seat. I didn’t want to tell him that she was small but mighty and seldom thought she needed help with any - thing that wasn’t gross or involved cleaning, I explained instead that she had done this before but a little help never hurts. He smiled again, winked (!) at me, and followed behind her intent on helping her through the door of the air - craft.

Wait. He winked, right? I waited until she was air -

borne as good adult escorts do, and began to make my way back to the terminal. As I neared the security torture area, a very handsome silver-haired pilot wearing a crazy Bahamas-style tie with his pilot’s uniform smiled broadly. I smiled back. What the heck. It was already a crazy day.

“I like your t-shirt,” he said.

“I like your tie,” I answered.

And those simple friendly statements gave way to a random airport conversation that left me knowing he had been a Navy pilot and his son was following in his footsteps and him knowing

talked a lot, took an Advil, complained about her tiny bones aching all over her miniature body and I just smiled and tried not to breath.

As I pulled into Wichita, a car pulled up next to me on the highway. I really don’t like that. I’m doing 65 in a 2005 Ford Freestar Mini-van with precious cargo and someone pulls up right next to me and maintains their speed. Ugh! Naturally I had to look in that direction.

In the passenger’s seat of the car next to me was the most dramatic, emotion- filled face I’d ever seen. Her eyes were as big as saucers and filled with sheer terror. Her mouth was open as if to scream, and she was point - ing frantically at my left front tire. It didn’t take long to realize apparently my tire was low, but it seemed to take forever to find a turn- off where I could pull into a gas station.

When that opportunity finally presented itself my tire was flat. Not pancake flat, but pretty darn flat. I pulled up to the air hose and gave it a what’s for, filling it with air before I continued on to the airport.

I must have missed the memo that said Mid- Continent was undergoing some major construction and I circled once or twice before I found the turn-off into short term parking.

Halfway into the walk to the terminal building I real - ized neither of us had picked up her ticket. Luggage in hand, we trudged back to the car, retrieved the ticket, and went back to the terminal to check her in, where the lady behind the counter told me I owed her $300.

Excuse me? Didn’t I have an eTicket from my friend that showed that not only was the ticket paid, but the surcharge for an unaccom - panied minor? Again, excuse me?

Twenty minutes and a long

Every now and then a day that has the promise of being one of Those Days, turns into a perfectly decent sunshine-y kind of day, in spite of itself.

I recently had one of those. I was entrusted with a

friend’s 11-year-old daugh - ter long enough to drive her to Wichita’s Mid-Continent Airport and put her safely on a plane. She was flying solo. I would be the last face of familiarity until she landed safely on the ground.

I woke up that morning with the all-too-common seasonal allergies I’ve been blessed with. My head felt like it had run flat out into a sledge hammer. My eyes were swollen into little fringed slits in my head. My nose let loose as much fluid as Niagara Falls, without the beauty and awe. I was a mess. I sat on the couch for a couple of hours that morn - ing siphoning my nasal pas - sages and trying to open my eyes, feeding Advil to the pain in my head.

Finally I had no choice but to get dressed and started on my day’s mission. I threw on a pair of jeans and boots, tossed on a t-shirt, and tied my hair into a ponytail. I wasn’t going to see anyone I knew, and at the airport most people would look right through me so I didn’t think there was too much concern about how I looked.

When I picked up my ward she announced she thought she might have strep throat. Great.

The trip was fine. She

counties. Chief Bettles and the Council answered ques - tions and referred the citizen to the proper departments.

City reports were given by the City Superintendent and the Fire Chief. Paul Froehlich reported the crew will begin the inspection and trimming back of tree branches that interfere with power lines throughout the city. The City plans a leaf pickup during the first week in December for residents. He also reported that the park and swimming pool restrooms have been winter - ized. Fire Chief Cecil Thrush spoke to the Council about the success of the Fire Safety presentation to the

elementary and preschool kids of Enterprise. “All enjoyed receiving their own fire helmets to take home.” Thrush also announced the collection for Toys for Tots will begin shortly. A Lighting Ceremony is also being planned for the city Christmas Lights for December 1. Councilman Rutz did ask the Police chief to comment on the satisfac - tion of morning and after - noon school patrols at the designated drop zones. Chief Bettles said that when patrol officers are not avail - able to assist in traffic con - trol for the children, the cus - todian at the school has taken on the role of safety

crossing guard. No other problems have been noted with traffic control in the school zones.

The council received a report from the Library Board that the security video camera’s hard drive had been replaced and was oper - ating effectively once again. Usage of the library was reported as usual for this time of year. Also, it was announced that the Task Force will be on hiatus through the holidays. It will resume in January. City Clerk Payne reported to the Council on the recent Kansas League of Municipalities training she attended in Wichita recently. She will

continue to attend classes as offered to assist in her ongo - ing duties for the city. Council member Jackson reminded all that any edu - cational or professional workshops attended by council or staff must be pre- approved before attending.

The Council adjourned into Executive session for attorney client privilege with no action taken on return. A motion was made by Mike Rutz and seconded by Sheldon Jones to settle a claim with Burlington Northern Railroad. Motion passed. Having addressed all the items before the Council, the meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m.

On October 20 the Holland Sunflowers started off the new 2014-15 4-H year with a pizza party before the meeting! This was a reward for the whole club turning in their Record Books on time last year. After Nathan led us in the Pledge of Allegiance and 4-H pledge we sang Happy Birthday to eve - ryone! This was a great idea by Hannah! Twenty-eight mem - bers, and one leader were present for the roll call, What is your favorite kind of gum? Our group building topic was a discussion of possible 4-H goals and how to write a great thank you. This was later reported on by Grace. The minutes of the last meeting were read by Natalie and approved by Dustin. We had numerous reports by Treasurer Rylie, past Reporter Katelyn, and Council Rep. Grace. Our window dis - play at Amanda’s had 21 items in it and these items are here tonight to take home. Our fundraising this year will include Rada, the American made cutlery, Red Wheel and our Club Dessert Cookbooks and the reprinted edition of the New Basel Cookbook. Harris Crop Insurance graciously printed the new program books. The plan for radio days have been made.

Business items included paying bills, voting on club goals, donating to the Samaritan’s Purse shoe boxes, Rural Center building use donation increased, and paying club insurance. All motions passed. Two new members Alison Rose and Emilee Ediger were welcomed into our club. Perfect atten - dance was awarded to Grace, Robin, Austin, and Hannah. 100 percent participation of donations given to the Abilene food pantry were Hannah, Adam, and Allen Family. Installation for senior and juniors offices were completed.

The three members of the month were Evie, Dillon, and Robin. We were entertained by two talks, Evie teaching us how to wash a steer and Grace telling us fascinating food facts. Bow hunting safety by Evie and dressing for winter by Robin were our health and safety tips.

Josiah announced to be looking forward to achievement night at Brown’s Home on November 16 and our next meet - ing is parents night on November 15 at 6 p.m. We adjourned by agreeing to “Make the best better.”

Della Hettenbach reported her article had been sent in to all three local newspapers. Emilee Diekman gave the treasurer report. Leaders Becky Dibbens and Charlotte Barten gave their reports.

what about those who don’t?’” Sell said. Sell said it was important to tap into the resources in

that attendance center alone. “We do a disservice to ourselves by not doing that,” Sell

said. Sell said in a later interview that families in the RC area

either have their children attend Rural Center or end up having them attend elsewhere for their own reasons.

“Our push with GROW RC is to make sure that all fami - lies in the RC attendance area know of all that RC offers, and that we want to encourage and ask that all USD 473 families send their children to our schools in the district in which they live,” Sell said.

Sell said staff members will also be touring the Ag school in Newton and the Chase County School soon to get ideas and see what they do in the rural community schools.

The next meeting for the RC community is planned for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, December 2 at RC. Sell said she hopes for a good turnout.

“We are excited about the possibilities. We invite anyone and everyone all to come,” Sell said. “We are gonna do whatever it takes to see if we can get some more kids at RC.”

The mil levy for capital outlay in 2013-14 was 2.0, and in 2014-15 the mil levy was raised to 4.0.

Sell recommended the 4.0 that is currently in place be kept, and for the board to decide on the matter each year.

The board agreed the district should only use the capital outlay funds in case of an emergency, if state aid or other tax money doesn’t come through, until the funding was received. The resolution will be reviewed yearly.

The board adopted the Capital Outlay Resolution at 4 mils for one year.

In other business, the school board: • Heard from FFA member Brittany Duer, who thanked

the board for supporting the FFA program and their trip to the National Convention. She presented an overview of the National Convention, and the many awards that were presented to CHS members.

• Approved the resignation of Jill Sallman, CHS Dance Sponsor.

• Heard an update from Sell about ‘GROW RC.’ • Approved the new assignments of Eileen Beavers as

CHS Dance Sponsor, Jamie Compton as Classroom Aid for Connie Suther’s kindergarten classroom at CES, and Tara Tiernan as District Nurse.

• Approved four Out of District Requests. • Approved one in-district transfer request. • Announced the Education Center Christmas Open

House will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2014 from 1:30 - 4:30 p.m.

• Held executive session to discuss personnel matters for non-elected personnel.

Students from eight Kansas high schools were honored Wednesday, November 12, by the University of Kansas Alumni Association and KU Endowment at a dinner and program which took place at the Chapman High School.

A total of 67 seniors from high schools in Dickinson, Geary and Morris Counties were recognized for their academic achievements and named Kansas Honor Scholars.

Since 1971, the Kansas

Honors Program has rec - ognized over 125,000 schol - ars, who rank in the top 10 percent of their high school senior classes and are selected regardless of occu - pational plans or higher- education goals. Each year, the KU Alumni Association and its volunteers host 36 programs that reach all 105 counties across the state and include approximately 360 high schools.

During the ceremony, each student received a Webster’s New College

Dictionary and a commemo - rative certificate.

Ken Audus, dean of phar - macy at The University of Kansas, spoke to the stu - dents and their parents and guests.

Sue and Todd Frieze, Chapman, were the site coordinators. Sandy Wong, Junction City, was the alumni reservations coor - dinator. Sally and Mark Edwards, Junction City, were the student/parent res - ervations coordinators. Barbara Craft, of Junction

City, was a volunteer at the event.

The Kansas Honors Program is made possible by KU Endowment and pro - ceeds from the Jayhawk license plate program.

The Class of 2015 scholars from Chapman High School were Milea Anderson, Brittany Duer, Kaylin Fink, Anna Frick, Zachary Harris, Lindsey Hurford, Kyler Langvardt, Thomas Meuli, and Cole Sutterfield.

Braydon Schmidt, Troop 64 Boy Scouts, was awarded Eagle Scout, the highest rank in scouting, on November 2 at a ceremony held at the Chapman United Methodist Church. Braydon’s Eagle Project was to build recycling bins for plastic bottles which were placed at the USD 473 Athletic Complex in April. In addition to the project Braydon has earned 64 merit badges. He is Chapter Secretary for the Konza Chapter of the Order of the Arrow, on the Brotherhood Ceremony team, and a member of Camp Hansen tribe of the Golden Eagle. Braydon has been in scouting since first grade when he joined Cub Scout Pack 48. He is an eighth grader at Chapman Middle School. He is the son of Marc and Tracy Schmidt. (Courtesy Photo)

October meeting was held on Oct. 11, 2014 at the Alida Church. There were 12 mem - bers, one leader, nine parents, three guests, for a total of 25 present at the meeting. President Justin Hultgren called the meeting to order at 6 p.m. Kale Caldwell and Renata Heintz led the Pledge of Allegiance and 4-H Pledge. Roll call was answered to

“What is your favorite part about Halloween?” Happy Birthday was led by Callie Jones to Ty Gfeller who’s birthday was on Halloween. I, Lauren Hill, reported that the write-ups had been sent to the Chapman and Abilene papers but had not been pub - lished. Wade Hill, treasurer, reported he did not have a current balance for the club. Sherry Reinhardt, our club

leader, reminded us that Officer’s Training was October 27 in Abilene and Radio Days is November 8. She also reminded members to read our newsletters, keep the master calendars from it, and let us know that our pro - gram books were on the way. She said the club would be collecting items for the food pantry and Justin would be collecting the items. Re-

enrollment cards for project sign-up are due in the office November 1. Wade Hill moved we adjourn the meet - ing and it was seconded and passed. The club adjourned the meeting by saying the 4- H motto: “To Make the Best Better.” This meeting was also Fragrant Hilltoppers fall party. We had a hotdog roast and played party games. The club was split into two

groups. The first game played was the mummy wrap. Collin Gfeller had the teams choose a member to be wrapped in toilet paper. Team one chose Micah Gfeller and team two chose Gretchen Hill. We all had a great time wrapping them up. The second game was to hold a piece of candy corn on the end of a popsicle stick and race down to a jar and put it in. Wow, that was

really hard. The last game we played was to blow up a bal - loon and hit it in the air for 5 minutes without letting it hit the ground. Sounds easy? It was harder than you think. We finished our party with bobbing for apples and mak - ing s’mores. Fun was had by all and everyone hated to see it end. Happy Halloween everyone!
