A Day in the Life
JASON YOUNGER (5a-10a Weekday Mornings)
My day starts early. The Waking Crew can be heard on Country 102.9 each
weekday from 5am to 10am.
If you don’t get out early, let me just say I am always AMAZED how many
people are out in the wee morning hours already starting their day! There is a
crowd of people who wake up early and jump start our communities so they
run smoothly as the masses start their days. (Thank you pre-dawn workers!)
When I get to work, it’s pretty routine for me. I fire up the laptop, check
forecasts and get stuff together for the show. While Rod is getting news ready,
I’m looking for fun or interesting stories and events happening around the
world, nation, state and county.
By time I get that done, we are up and rolling and it’s time for our first news
cast. 6:20am arrives very quickly! We get news and weather done and then it’s
time for my favorite part of the morning… I take that walk down the hall for
my first cup of coffee of the morning. Ahhhh that hits the spot!
I have a little time to do a little more digging for show content during the 6am
hour but phone calls begin coming in with birthday names for the 7:50am
Birthday Show. So by time we hit 7am we are running full blast.
The 7am hour is always a blur. You really don’t even get to hear much of the
music because there is so much happening behind the scenes. It’s fun when
things are busy. Contests, phone calls, guests… It makes each day new and
different. I really miss taking my kids to school, so I will try to video chat with
them on the computer when I can to tell them to work hard and have a good day.

From 7am until we do
the Birthday show at
around 7:55am it feels
like a sprint.
By 8am we have pretty
much helped people
with that morning rush
to get kids to school
and get to work and I
really begin to settle
into the day and we run
smoothly until 10am.
At 10am I shift gears
to another fun and
interesting part of our
business. I get to work
with businesses on
their advertising. We
talk marketing and how
to grow their business. Growing up in a family owned business, I have always
been really interested in marketing and how to grow businesses. So marketing
and online marketing are passions of mine.
My day begins to wrap up at 5pm. I come back in the radio station and have
some studio work to do. I will do some recording until about 7:30 or 8p and by
then I’m ready to get home and eat and play with the kids. It’s busy but it’s fun.
After a great day of work and some quality family time, I thank the Lord for a
good day, pray for good rest and get ready to do it again the next day.

Annual Adopt a
Child Campaign
Here’s a letter received
after last year’s event:
“In spite of the down economy last year, Hutchinson stepped up and helped over
200 children under the age of 18 with KHUT’s annual Adopt a Child Campaign,”
according to station program manager, Randy McKay. “Children received items
from many generous donors, from dolls to bikes! It’s really neighbor helping
neighbor,” Randy says. “A kind of pay-forward. We’ve seen a lot of receivers in the
past become givers in the current year. It’s very heartwarming!”
Would you like to adopt a child
this year? You can!
Just listen for our 20th Annual Adopt a Child Campaign for the holidays,
sponsored by Peoples Bank and Trust and Country 102.9!
To Whom it may concern:
Just wanted to say Thank You
for selecting
my child for the “Adopt a Child
” program.
I am a struggling single mom
who had to
stop working when I was diagn
osed with
stage III colon cancer. Through
my surgery
recovery, month of exhaustion
and doctor
appointments, my little guy has
been quite
the trooper! What a blessing to
know that
Christmas time will be extra spe
cial this
year. Thank you to all the cheerf
ul givers.

Shop Safely this Christmas
By Rod Zook
• A person who has their arms full, and could not defend themselves.
Shopping for Christmas gifts during
the holiday season can bring great joy
to the end of a hectic year. However,
the season in celebration of the birth
of Christ brings out thieves and stalkers
waiting for the right moment to steal
your goodies. And there are many things
you can do to protect yourself and your
Christmas packages this holiday season.
• Someone who does not have their car keys ready.
Shoppers, especially women should always use caution when shopping
especially in parking lots. Pepper spray can be easily purchased on the Internet.
There are models that will attach to your key chain or fit in a purse or pocket.
A study that was recently conducted states that grocery store and mall parking
lots are two very common places where shoppers are most vulnerable. And
nearly all incidents involve women.
It is notable to mention some women are more likely to be targeted than others.
And the way you walk or even dress can make you an easy target. Such tells include:
• A woman who is looking down.
• Those who forget where they parked.
When in the parking lot keep these basic tips in mind:
• When parking only decide on an area that is very well lit, and close to the
stores exit door.
• Take note of the area where you have parked the car, so you are not
wandering around hunting for your car when you are done shopping.
• Never leave a store without concealing all cash and credit cards.
• When going to your car look for strange people or vehicles, namely vans
in the area.
• You should have your purse securely placed under your arm, and have
your pepper spray ready; not buried in your purse.
• And as always if you shop at multiple places secure your packages in the
trunk of your car and not in an area easily visible to a thief.
All of us at Eagle Radio want you to be safe
during the Christmas shopping season.

minutes wishing everyone a good day and then I head to the
studio to do my show. I love it! Then I head to production,
where I post on our stations Facebook pages, record and
produce commercials; help other people in the building with
stuff… I usually work 9-10 hours a day, but the time flies by.
Each and every minute is fun. I couldn’t work with a better

Randy McKay
(Program Director 2p-6p)
As with most of you, I
get up and I go to work.
Once I get to work,
some days are very
busy and some days are not as busy. You hear me on the air from 2-6pm,
but there’s more than those 4 hours for me. I actually do work at least 8
hours a day. Monday’s consist of administrative and promotion meetings,
downloading the Countdown shows for the next Sunday, picking and
choosing THE HITS that will be played on Country 102.9, making sure
the information for the announcers to talk about is current, record
commercials and get them ready to play on the air, get my show ready
to go. A couple things that I do is make sure hutchinsonscountrystation.
com is updated and the Eagle Media Center Message Sign is current with
things that Country 102.9 is doing throughout the community. Then, of
course, at 2 the fun begins. That’s when I get to listen to THE HITS and talk
to you all. This is by far my favorite part of the day. I mean where else can
you listen to music and actually get paid for doing so? At 6, then, I head
home and relax so I can do it all over tomorrow. However, sometimes, I
have to return to help Fred Gough cover severe weather when it crops up.
All in all, my day is enjoyable. For me, it beats manual labor.

Houses Built Without Hammers And Nails
Most homes are built of concrete and wood. But for
children who visit downtown Hutchinson on Saturdays
in December, houses are not built with hammers and
nails. They are made of graham crackers and candy!
Gingerbread houses at Christmas have been a tradition
for years. Giving kids the opportunity to create one of
their own began in downtown Hutchinson in 2007.
Downtown Hutchinson will give kids an opportunity to
express their creativity again this year.
While decorating is a lot of fun for the kids, it takes
hours of preparation by volunteers to make the event
successful. “We start the season with 500 houses, and
build more as needed” said Paula Payton, Chairman
of the Downtown Hutchinson Christmas Committee.
“That’s 2500 graham crackers and mountains of frosting
to glue them together!” The Keebler Co/Kroger Central
Region, Hutch office donated the graham crackers, Allie’s
Deli helps secure supplies for the special frosting cement,
Daylight Donuts has large mixers, and Hutch Rec
supplies the location. Then all the little houses have to be
assembled before the frosting hardens! Thanks to R.S.V.P
volunteers and employees from downtown businesses
who donate their time, the work gets done. It takes hours
to break the crackers, (hopefully into the right shapes)
apply frosting, and hold them in place while the frosting
sets. They are then set aside to dry on racks provided
by the Sara Lee Bakery. Some of the candy is supplied
through community donations; the rest is purchased by
Downtown Hutchinson.
“Watching kids faces light up with excitement as they
decorate their gingerbread houses makes it all worthwhile”,
says Payton, “but it wouldn’t happen without the help of
a lot of volunteers! We are grateful to everyone who helps
make it a fun event for the kids!”
Gingerbread House Decorating is free for kids every
Saturday in December before Christmas from 11am –
2pm at Hutchinson Recreation Commission, 17 East 1st.
Donations of candy or cash for supplies is welcome and
appreciated and may be dropped off at Hutch Rec or the
Eagle Media Center at 9th and Main.

A Christmas Bible Quiz
I think it is safe to say that one of the most celebrated days of the year
in our country is Christmas. It is such a popular holiday that often those
not of the Christian faith participate in the festivities. It is also safe to
say that this day is widely celebrated around the world, even in cultures
that are not Christian in culture or persuasion, such as Japan and China.
They too call it “Christmas.”
There are myriad examples we could site regarding the world’s
commercialization of this sacred Christian holiday and the loss of festive
understanding, but too often we Christians come up short ourselves in
this theological arena. As our Lord said, sometimes we need to remove
the beam from our own eye.
How much do you really know about Christmas? How much of what
Despite the widespread recognition of this holiday, Christians the you think about Christmas is Bible and how much is world? Could you
world over lament how commercialized Christmas has become and how pass the following quiz on this topic? Test your knowledge. There are
convoluted the reason and meaning. We see signs hanging in department no trick questions, but you might be surprised by some of the answers.

An Ounce of Prevention
According to Benjamin Franklin, “An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure.” It’s well known that regular, systematic oil changes
extend the engine life of your vehicle. Regular check ups and
cleanings on your teeth can prevent costly dental work. A flu shot
can protect you from a serious illness. The same principle applies to
your home heating and air conditioning system. Inefficient heating
and cooling systems needlessly consume extra energy and raise
utility bills.
“Since we began offering our home maintenance programs, we’ve
seen a substantial drop in the number of emergency calls needed by
our customers,” said Ben Timberlake, service manager of Temp-Aire
Inc. in Lyons and Hutchinson. Our maintenance programs include a
precision tune up and professional cleaning twice a year. Plus, if repairs
are needed, we offer a discount on parts and labor throughout the year.
The cost of a home maintenance program is only pennies a day, but
provides homeowners with a lot of peace of mind.”
No matter what type of heating and cooling system you have, there are
several things you can do to keep your system in top condition. Dirt
is the biggest enemy of your home’s heating and cooling system. It can
waste fuel and drastically lower efficiency. Dirt affects all three basic
components of the system, so cleaning is the most important part of
regular maintenance. Lubrication and belt adjustment of the furnace
are also important. If you’re not so handy, you may prefer to contact a
professional about a home maintenance program.
Replacement of heating and air conditioning systems can be costly,
but a well maintained system operates more efficiently, suffers fewer
breakdowns, and lasts longer. In the long run, a little preventative
maintenance will save you money and the discomfort of going without
heat on a cold winter night. Ben was right! An ounce of prevention
really is worth a pound of cure.

Christmas Cookies, Traditions And Memories

Christmas Traditions and Memories:
Christmas Traditions:
Every Christmas
Eve, the children of
our small Swedish
Covenant Church in
rural South Dakota
put on a Christmas
pageant. The church
would be full of
relatives, near and far.
When my boys were
growing up, we always
spent Christmas Eve
with my husband’s
parents. Each year,
the boys’ gifts would
always include a new
pair of pajamas. It
is something they
came to anticipate...
and it also made the
Christmas morning
pictures look a little better in their new pajamas.
My aunt and uncle
always traveled from
northern Minnesota, no matter the weather.
Before the program, we were allowed to open
one gift from them. It would be our new
Christmas outfit to wear in the program. (always
a good surprise and usually was a pretty good fit)
The front corner of the church was reserved for a
huge Christmas tree that reached the ceiling that
our fathers had personally chopped down. After
the program, the children handed out hundreds
of gifts from under the tree to the people in
the congregation. These were gifts from one
family to another. Later, I learned that once in
awhile there was a family forgotten. In that case,
a church leader or two rushed home to return
with one of their own gifts from under their
own tree and quickly renamed for the forgotten
person. Christmas Recipe: Ginger Cookies
(this is similar to the recipe passed down from
my Norwegian great-grandmother)
2 ¼ c. flour
¼ c butter
2 tsp. Baking soda
1 c. sugar
¼ tsp. Salt
1 egg
1 tsp. Ginger
¼ c mild molasses
½ tsp. Cinnamon
½ tsp ginger, minced
½ c shortening
Cream shortening and butter with sugar. Add
egg and molasses and mix well. Mix in dry
ingredients. Form into one-inch balls and roll
them in sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for about ten
minutes.
Christmas Memories:
Some of my favorite Christmas memories revolve
around Christmas programs at the church. My
youngest son was about six, and as the children’s
choir was singing, he began to use the microphone
stand as a telescope...scanning the crowd till he
found me...then smiled a big toothless grin and
waved.
Another program was a contemporary look at the
Bethlehem story. My middle son, seventeen at the
time, was dressed as a soldier and came out of the
dark carrying a lantern singing ‘O Little Town of
Bethlehem’ acapella. We didn’t know that the very
next year he would be called up to serve by the
National Guard and spend Christmas in Iraq.
I will always remember the year my oldest son
played the resurrected Christ at a musical that
included the birth, life and resurrection of Jesus.
The church was dark except for the singers on
stage...then the baptistery curtain opened and the
halogen lights were so bright, you could only see a
blinding white light for a few moments until your
eyes adjusted. He stepped out of the light with
arms outstretched.
Christmas recipe: Spicy Cheeseburger Soup
1½ cups water
2 cups cubed, peeled potatoes
2 small carrots, grated
1 small onion, chopped
¼ cup chopped green pepper
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 TBSP beef bouillon granules
½ tsp. Salt
1 lb. Ground beef, cooked, drained
2 ½ cups milk, divided
3 TBSP all-purpose flour
8 oz. Process American cheese, cubed
¼ to 1 tsp. Cayenne pepper, optional
¼ lb. Sliced bacon, cooked, crumbled
In a large saucepan, combine the first nine
ingredients; bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and
simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are
tender. Stir in beef and 2 cups of milk; heat through.
Combine flour and remaining milk until smooth;
gradually stir into soup. Bring to a boil; cook and stir
for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Reduce
heat; stir in cheese until melted. Add cayenne if
desired. Top with bacon just before serving. Yield:
6-8 servings.

Christmas Treasure
Hunt Ideas
Treasure hunt or scavenger hunt is the most
entertaining activity and game for kids. It can
employ both action and strategies and can
be made as complex as you please, according
to the age group of your guests. You can add
interesting clues, riddles and hints to help
guide your guests to the location of one of the
objects. The child, who manages to collect
most items at the end of the party, will of
course be the winner. Here are some ideas
for a treasure hunt list for a Christmas party
theme that are inexpensive and easy to collect:
“A Day in the Life”
Cyndee Campbell
(10a-2p Weekdays)
My day starts with reading, a lot of
reading. I read the paper, gossip sites,
news sites and work related sites.
Then it’s show time! I go on air and
share the most interesting parts and
stories I’ve come across in earlier
reading.
I love finding something interesting,
then adding to it to make a more
complete story on the air. My goal
is to have a well-rounded grasp of
current events and share them in an
easy-to-understand way.

Did you know that...
• America’s first recipe for Christmas cakes dates back to 1796
• In Australia, the turkey is eaten cold
• In the old times, sugar was very expensive; therefore, Christmas cakes were a luxury
• In Denmark, they put hot porridge outside for the pixies on Christmas Eve
• The first gingerbread man is credited to the court of Queen Elizabeth I, who favored important
visitors with charming gingerbread likenesses of themselves
Christmas
Decoration Ideas
Christmas decorating starts at least a week before the big day and includes thorough
washing, cleaning, scrubbing, polishing and ironing, the most tiresome of all chores. In
this article, we will include tips to be used after these basic steps that are unavoidable
to refresh yourself with novelty and creativity of ideas you can implement here. All these
tips are carefully kept economical and kept to a do-it-yourself level.
• Check for the faulty bulbs in light strands
beforehand. It will be wise to have a tester
at hand so you can replace the bulbs easily
as soon as they burn out.
• Red Christmas stockings hanging on the
window sill can have your name, your
spouses’s, kid’s and pet’s names in golden
letters to make them look festive.
• Angels are considered auspicious in home
so add to the peace, tranquility, joy and
harmony in your home by decorating your
Christmas tree with angel ornaments and
ordering an angel-shaped Christmas cake.
• Artificial wreaths and a magnetic wreath
hanger last
much longer.
• Make an instant centerpiece for your
Christmas dinner table by keeping luscious
fruits including rosy red apples, sweet
smelling oranges and a bunch of grapes in
a clear glass bowl.
• Holiday decorations with a personal
touch are much more inviting then the
store-bought fancy decorative items and
made-at-home wreath, carefully trimmed
Christmas tree and decorative light strands
get most marks when done by
hosts themselves.
• Don’t forget to keep your camera ready
along with batteries to capture some
memorable moments.

Christmas Traditions:
One thing I enjoy about Christmas is all the
wonderful music! I have been involved in
barbershop music for over 35 years, and
director of the local Sweet Adeline’s for
more than 8 years. I also play the guitar
and do a little songwriting, so music is an
important part of my life! Take some time
to get out and enjoy some of the great
musical entertainment available in our
community this Holiday Season!

MY 93.1-KHMY began a new
Christmas tradition in 2009,
Caroling for Catering, and it proved
MY 93.1 doesn’t just play the hits;
it’s promotions ARE hits...with the
listeners! “We had five businesses or
organizations participate, not too
bad for our first year,” says Casey
Osburn, KHMY program manager.
“When we got the group’s e-mail, we
went out and videoed their caroling.
Posted them on-line and asked our listeners to pick their favorite!” Reno Valley Middle
School received over 40 percent of the vote. Knackies Catering, Bakery and BBQ in
Inman catered their Christmas meal. “It was a lot of fun and we’re expecting an even
better level of participation this year,” Casey said.
Want to participate? It’s easy!

Living in Wichita, my day starts early before heading
to the Eagle Media Center in Hutchinson. I take
our 4 year old son to daycare in South Wichita
then make the trek up K-96 arriving at the station
between 9:30 and 10am. Monday and Tuesdays are
busy around here because something is ALWAYS
going on with promotions. Those 2 days we spend
planning and organizing our station events. So, I
get to go to meetings! After arriving around 9:30, I
have morning meetings till around 11 each Monday
and Tuesday.
Otherwise I get right to work at 10. Along with
promotions, I also program the station’s music for
the following 7 days. I want to be careful to select
the right music for you…… so I take time to think it
through. This entails making the decisions on what
to start or stop playing on the air, loading new music
into the computer and creating the music schedule
for the next week.
After that, I’m already thinking about my radio show.
What to talk about, what to promote and what
YOU’RE thinking about. It can consume my thinking
since it’s important part of my job.
However, in addition
to my afternoon show
on My 93.1, I also work
on making sure ALL
the announcers have
the information THEY
need to talk about on
the air throughout
the day. We want
to be consistent yet
unpredictable when
performing our
shows for you.
Have you checked
out our website?
www.KHMY.com We
want to be current there too so I update our website
as needed. Check it out...you can even listen to us
on your mobile phone and take 93.1 wherever you
go!
From early morning meetings to planning music and
websites to production it’s all “in the day in the life”
at My 93.1 for me. It’s great! So when my show ends
at 7pm it’s back on the road head home to Wichita...
where it starts over again the next day.
Merry Christmas and thanks for listening!

Christmas is loved by millions of people all over the world. Why not try to break a record
while you are baking Christmas cookies or folding paper angels? Here is a list of some
amazing Christmas records.
1. Biggest selling Christmas song is Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” The
song was written by Sir Bob Geldof, and sold fifty million copies and continues to be a

US in 1886. It’s 151 feet, 1 inch high and weighs 225 tonnes.
3. The most valuable Christmas card was sold at an auction in Devizes,
Wiltshire, UK in 2001 for £20,000 (approx. $40,000). The
card was originally sent by Sir Henry Cole of Bath to his
grandmother in 1843!
4. The largest Christmas angel ornament is over 18 feet
high and over 8 feet wide at the bottom. It’s made out of
2946 bottles. The angel was displayed on Alfonso Reyes
Avenue, Nuevo Leon, Mexico in January 2000.
5. Forget modern novelists and TV tie-ins, the Bible is the
best-selling book every year. The Bible was the first book and
is the all-time best selling book with 1 billion copies having
been sold.
Give the gift of comfort this holiday season.

“A Day In The Life”
Bob Walker
(6a-10a Weekdays)
A typical ‘Day in the Life’
for me starts everyday
I get up at 4:30am. To
get my bearings straight
I turn on the local TV
stations to get the latest
news and sports. It’s
then off to work when I
usually get to the station
around 5:30. Yet there’s more prep before I go on the air so I read
mulitple newspapers and additional information that is sent to us.
That helps me get a basic outline of what’s ‘on tap’ for that day’s
show. Some days after reviewing the material I’ve read, I will
throw the outline away, go with a subject of the day and let the
listeners take over. Those days are the BEST! Often they can be
very entertaining because I’m not sure where the flow of the show
will go...especially when the listeners call and get involved. They’re
great...we have terrific listeners.
By the time 10 o’clock gets here, I’m usually fatigued. So it’s break
time before the afternoon of producing commericials. So, I usually
go home and take a lunch break. After I shove some groceries,
take a short nap, then I get up to catch the local news and
weather. I’m interested in what’s going on and am also looking
for additional information that I can prep for tomorrow’s show. I
usually amble back to work at 12:30.
When I get back to the station, I’ll continue to go over notes from the
days show, look to find something I missed and note it to use the
next day.
Then my second job begins, meeting customers and producing
commercials. Somedays are very busy..........some clients will do
their own spots and others I will voice. What’s an interesting facet
of this job is the kind of people I have the opportunity to meet.
From dentists to gardeners and mechanics to retailers, we get to
meet all kinds of people from all walks of life. Very enjoyable!
Like all businesses, sometimes there are slow days. When those
come, I usually get on-line and visit major market stations web
pages. Sometimes they have really good ideas so I’ll “borrow”
some of their stories that I missed during the morning. Of course,
there are days I will meet with the sales executives to discuss to
find out how I can help them.
Around 4:30 I head to my upscale west Hutchinson abode where
I’ll usually take a walk, play golf or visit with the neighbors cat.
I feel blessed to have a job where I can sit and talk, play music and
get paid for it. The best part of the whole day is the feedback from
listeners like you! When somebody comes up to me and says “Hey
that was funny or that really made me think”
then it makes my job that much more worthwhile. I think the best
thing a person can say is “you made me feel better today.”

Annie Campbell – Account Executive
Holiday Tradition:
My mom starting making this drink
at Thanksgiving about five years ago
(because of its fall festive colors) but I
think it can be adapted to the Christmas
season. I’m not sure where she got the
recipe but it’s certainly some stress relief
after the holiday season!
Holiday Champagne:
Champagne (brand doesn’t matter)
Bitters (drink mix at grocery)
Splenda
Dubonnet rouge (liquor store)
Get out your drink shaker and fill it half
full of ice cubes, a few TBSP of Splenda,
a few drops of bitters, a jigger or two
of dubonnet rouge, a drop or two of
grenadine (it’s red and will add the
Christmas touch) top with champagne
and cover; shake to mix and chill it.
Top with a sprig of mint or your favorite
holiday greenery and serve in your
champagne or wine glass.

Hats Off To A Nite At The Races
Elegant hats are adjusted, the bets are down, the gates open and the
horses are off and running! It’s not the Kentucky Derby, but ‘A Nite at
the Races’ gives participants an opportunity to experience the excitement
of horse racing in the middle of winter in Hutchinson. While there are
many fund raisers in Hutchinson, Community Finance of Kansas has
chosen this program to sponsor because they have seen first hand the
impact the Red Cross has had on this community. “Our local Red
Cross does more than accept blood donations. They provide relief for local families who have suffered
loss during house fires. They offer many local health and safety classes, and can assist with emergency
communication for military families,” said Denise Hallman, of Community Finance. “These programs
affect our customers, so we’re thrilled we can sponsor this event! Plus, it’s a lot of fun!”
This is the 4th year the Reno County American Red Cross has hosted ‘A Nite at the Races’ and the
enthusiasm continues to grow! “We bring in video of real horse races that have been pre-recorded,
so it’s a lot like being right there at the races” said Megan Gottschalk Hammersmith, director of the
Reno County American Red Cross. “The ticket price includes funny money that can be used to
place bets on the horses, and then winnings are paid based on the odds for each horse. People really
get into it, cheering on the horses! We have a great time!” The evening also includes a silent auction
and a live auction. Dinner is catered by Marcella’s. New this year is a Best Hat Contest and ladies
are encouraged to wear a decorated derby hat.
‘A Nite at the Races’ is on January 22nd from 6:00 to 10:00 pm at Memorial Hall. Reserve tickets
are $35.00 and may be purchased by calling the Red Cross office at 662-3336. Tickets can also be
purchased at Hayes Sight and Sound, Ostara’s, and All That Jazz.

Safety During Holiday Travel
By Fred Gough
can see and but also that others can see you.
During this holiday season, we
want you and your family to be
safe. Officials say more people
will be traveling during the
Christmas season, impaired
drivers could be encountered
and winter weather is always a
threat this time of year.
Be prepared for winter driving and don’t forget to slow down.
Remember to drive well below the posted speed limit and leave plenty
of room between cars. You should also stay attentive, reduce speed and
know what’s going on around you. When visibility is poor; or when
conditions are changing or unpredictable.
Here are some tips to consider:
First thing is to monitor the weather on radio and we’ll let you know
what the weather will be.
If your planning a trip, officials with the Kansas Department of
Transportation recommend you prepare your vehicle for winter travel
by replacing your wiper blades, ensuring your tires have good tread, and
checking your vehicle’s fluids, exhaust system because a leak can lead to
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Avoid excessive actions while steering, braking or accelerating to lessen
the chances of losing control of the vehicle. When accelerating on snow
or ice, take it slow to avoid slipping and sliding. If you have anti-lock
brakes, press the pedal down firmly and hold it. If you don’t have antilock brakes, gently pump the pedal.
Always wear your seat belt, and properly secure children in the
appropriate safety seats.
Do not use cruise control when you are traveling in wet or snowy
conditions.
If you’re involved in a non-injury crash that involves non-hazardous
materials, if it is safe to do so, move your vehicle out of the lane of traffic
You should also allow plenty of time to reach your destination safely to protect yourself as well as other motorists.

up cell phone, but avoid using it while driving, and especially no texting.
Winter weather can create substantial problems on the highways
throughout the winter months here in Kansas. This presents a challenge
for motorists trying to travel through the holiday season.
First before you leave, for any driving, its wise to remove any snow on
your vehicle’s windows, lights, brake lights and signals. Make sure you
Have an ice scraper and shovel, jumper cables, flashlights, sand or kitty
litter for traction, extra blankets or clothing, non-perishable food, a first
aid kit, matches and candles or flares, tow rope or chains.
Prepare ahead making sure your vehicle is in good working order and
have the things in the vehicle you’ll need in case you run into trouble.

A Time To Serve
Linus Project
The Children’s Crisis Center in Hutchinson
offers shelter and care for children during family
emergencies. During such traumatic times, the
Center provides items that a child finds comforting
and familiar. “When we first learned about the
Children’s Crisis Center, we knew it was a good
fit for the Linus Project,” explained B.J. Parsons,
owner of Midwest Sewing and Vacuum Center
of Hutchinson “A group of us meet each month
to sew blankets. Others make them at home and
drop them off at the store. Sewing pillowcases is
a newer development. The kids enjoy having their
own pillowcase, and they can be filled with items
the children take with them. It’s great to know the
items we make fill a real need for local children,”
said B.J. To learn more about the Linus Project or
to donate materials or help with the sewing, contact
Midwest Sewing and Vacuum at 211 West 5th in
Hutchinson. Donations of cleaning supplies, toys,
food or cash are also welcomed and appreciated.
Advent Conspiracy
What would happen if a group of people actually made a small sacrifice
during the Christmas season and pooled their resources together to
make life better for another group? That’s what the congregation of
South Hutchinson Mennonite Church asked themselves a few years
ago; their question led them to cooperate with a group of other
concerned churches in a movement called “Advent Conspiracy.”
During SHMC’s first advent of participation (2008), members gave
one less gift to loved ones. With a value of $30 per gift, the church was
able to help dig five clean water wells in a Third World area, resulting in
thousands of people experiencing clean drinking water for the first time.
encouraged to eat two of their
meals per week consisting only
of a small amount of rice and
beans provided by several local
businesses during the four weeks of
Advent. The meal money saved was sent to MEDA. The Canadian
government matched the $32,000 raised. “This really raised the
community awareness of the situation for women in Afghanistan.
After the business woman is able to pay back the loan, the money will
automatically be sent to another pending entrepreneur,” Eric says.
Last year’s project for “Advent Conspiracy” challenged members to raise
money for Mennonite Economic Development Associates (MEDA).
The specific project invested in micro-finance lending to Afghan women
wishing to empower their own lives and start their own businesses.
Eric Miller, Associate Pastor of SHMC says the congregation was
This year (2010) South Hutchinson Mennonite Church is looking
forward to helping the Hutchinson area during Advent. Anyone
interested in volunteering would be greatly appreciated and can call

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flock by night. And,
lo, the angel of the Lord came upon
them, and the glory of the Lord shone
round about them: and they were sore
afraid. And the angel said unto them,
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be to all
people. For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour, which
is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a
sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in
a manger. And suddenly there was with
the angel a multitude of the heavenly
host praising God, and saying, Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.
Luke 2:8-14
Upon his conversion, Charles Wesley immediately began
writing hymns, each one packed with doctrine, all of
them exhibiting strength and sensitivity, both beauty
and theological brawn. He wrote constantly, and even on
horseback his mind was flooded with new songs. He often
stopped at houses along the road and ran in asking for “pen
and ink.”
He wrote over 6,000 hymns during his life, and he didn’t
like people tinkering with the words. In one of his hymnals
he wrote: “I beg leave to mention a thought which has been
long upon my mind, and which I should long ago have
inserted in the public papers, had I not been unwilling to stir
up a nest of hornets. Many gentlemen have done my brother
and me (though without naming us) the honor to reprint
many of our hymns. Now they are perfectly welcome to do
so, provided they print them just as they are. But I desire
they would not attemp to mend them, for they are really not
able. None of them is able to mend either the sense or the
verse. Therefore, I must beg of them these two favors: either
to let them stand just as they are, to take things for better
or worse, or to add the true reading in the margin, or at the
bottom of the page, that we may no longer be accountable
either for the nonsense or for the doggerel of other men.”
But one man did the church a great favor by polishing up
one of Charles’ best-loved hymns. When Charles was 32, he
wrote a Christmas hymn that began:
Hark, how all the welkin rings,
“Glory to the King of kings;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!”
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
Universal nature say,
“Christ the Lord is born to-day!”
The word “welkin” was an old English term for “the vault
of heaven.” It was Charles’ friend, evangelist George
Whitefield, who, when he published this carol in his
collection of hymns in 1753, changed the words to the
now-beloved, “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.”
