AREA DEATHS
Jack Hunter
Jack Allen Hunter, 96, of Bella Vista,
Ark., died, July 24, 2015 at Concordia
Care Center in Bella Vista.
He was born July 18, 1919 to John
Blair and Ida M. (Hennigh) Hunter at Denton in Doniphan County, Kan.
The son of a dairy farmer, Jack moved
with his family that included six siblings to
Howard in 1930, where he attended Howard High School. He met Lulu Inez Tillman, originally of Topeka in Howard, and
they were married in Manhattan on Feb.
16, 1941.
In April 1942, Jack enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps rising to become a crew chief assigned to the 1034th Air Material
Squadron transporting gliders throughout North American and
the Pacific theater while stationed in the Philippine Islands. He
was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army Air Corps as a
master sergeant, having earned the American Service Medal,
Asiatic Pacific Service Medal, a Philippine Liberation Ribbon,
WWII Victory Medal and Good Conduct Medal.
Following military service Jack, wife and young family returned to Howard working on the family farm and selling oil for
Central Petroleum Company. It was there he began a career as
a Farm Bureau Insurance agent, taking a leave in 1953 to be in
charge of the breeding program at a world renowned registered
Angus cattle farm in Madison.
In 1958 he returned to Farm Bureau Insurance, first in Sedan, followed by 22-year stint as Dickinson County agency manager in Abilene.
Jack and Lulu retired to Bella Vista, Ark., in 1981 where they
joined several family members in retirement. In Bella Vista they
joined the First United Methodist Church where they were active
participants for 30 years. He was also a member of the American
Legion, active in Meals on Wheels, and was an avid fisherman
and hunter. He enjoyed gardening and giving away the fruits of
his plentiful harvest.
Jack is preceded in death by Lula, his wife of nearly 71 years.
His parents and five siblings also preceded him in death.
He is survived by son, Don Hunter of Kansas City, Mo.;
daughter Sandy Bates and husband Paul of Bella Vista, Ark.;
granddaughter, Ricki Hansen of Elgin, Ill.; grandson, Kenneth W.
Bates and wife, Kimberly of San Diego, Calif.; two great-granddaughters, Leilani Larsen and Raegyn Hansen; and 13 nieces
and nephews.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Aug., 8, 2015
at the Bella Vista Funeral Home & Crematory, 2258 Forest Hills
Blvd., Bella Vista, Ark.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be made
to KU Endowment marked for The Agency, William Allen White
School of Journalism & Mass Communications. Gifts may be sent
care of KU Endowment, P.O. Box 928, Lawrence, KS 66044.

College where she graduated with her LPN and later returned to
receive her Associates degree in Nursing becoming a Registered
Nurse.
In 1975, she married Doyle Nichols in Arkansas City where

her family.
Survivors include her son Jason Nichols and wife Erin of

numerous nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
Kathy was preceded in death by her parents, sister Barbara
Holmes-Gates, brother Rick Wright, ex-husband Doyle Nichols,
and step-father John Wright.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that contribution be made
to the William Newton Health Care Foundation for the Forensics

We need more straight
rows in this life.
I think we have allowed
our minds and habits to drift
into mediocrity.
The farmers of 100 years
ago — those who walked
behind teams of beautiful
horses and checked their
corn rows were the ones
who set the example.
The very notion of sitting on a tractor, let alone
one that steers itself in perfect lines, would have made
them smile.
I’m just sure of it.

Kansas junior leads by example
Esther McCabe named 2015 Outstanding
Leader at the National Junior Angus Show
The Angus breed recognized one of its youth leaders
at the National Junior Angus
Show (NJAS) by presenting Esther McCabe, Elk City, with the
2015 Jim Baldridge Outstanding Leadership Award.
McCabe is currently a senior at Kansas State University and finished out her career
with the National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) at this
year’s show in Tulsa, Okla. She
was recognized with the honor
during the NJAS closing ceremonies Friday, July 17, and
will receive a $2,500 scholarship made possible by Bill and
Betty Werner of Werner Angus,
Cordova, Ill., and their generous $50,000 gift to the Angus
Foundation in 2013.
“Being a part of the National Junior Angus Association, and the Angus breed as a
whole, has helped me to grow
up,” McCabe says. “With all
the different events within the
junior association, you learn
about the different aspects of
the breed and how to stand up
and talk with people about it.”
Each year, an outstanding National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) member is
recognized for contributions
to Angus organizations, personal Angus accomplishments,
and community involvement
and achievements. In 2014,
the award was titled the Jim
Baldridge Outstanding Leadership Award, in memory of a
lifetime of service to the Angus
breed.
An active member of the
Angus community, McCabe has
shown leadership in many aspects. In 2013, she represented the breed as Miss American
Angus.

McCabe has been actively
involved in the NJAA her entire
life. She followed in her older
siblings’ footsteps, learning
about the industry and competing in many contests such as
public speaking, the All-American Certified Angus Beef ®

others. She also had success
in the showring, and 2015 will
be a year to remember as she
exhibited the grand champion owned female, PVF Missie

If you missed it, the lawn

It was very exciting!
I’m back in the rabbit business again. On Monday evening
I took delivery of sixteen head
of the furry critters! I’m hoping
that they prove to be as interesting as they have been in the

Everyone except Brendon missed out on feeding the

process that can be tricky some
times. The snake is sure one

Grafton Ramblings
This is another beautiful
summer morning in Kansas.
We have so much to be thankful for each day. We need to
count our “God Sightings” each
day as the children have been
asked to do at Sunday School
and Church.
Grafton Community meeting is this Saturday, Aug. 8,
with another “cold supper” at
6:30 p.m. as we did last month.
It was great and hope to see as
many as possible there.
A week ago Saturday Jeremy and Darla Samples and
children, Ethan and Hannah,
of Coffeyville were visitors of
Ray and Melodee Wolfe.
Dale and Katie Walton
and the three grandchildren
who have been visiting them,
Brianna and Rylee Green of
Frontenac and Bryson Brown
of Topeka, went to Bartlesville on Wednesday where they
enjoyed seeing Woolaroc and
then having lunch afterward.
On Friday Dale and Katie
and Bryson took Brianna and
Rylee to their home at Frontenac and on Saturday Dale, Ka-
tie and Bryson met Tammy
Brown at Burlington and had
lunch before Bryson went back
home with his mother to Topeka.
Marcia and Brittney Hale
and daughter, Harper, of Garber, Okla., were Thursday
overnight visitors of Don and
Lorene Selter. Harper stayed
for a longer visit with her great
grandparents.
Nathan and Charlie Bible
of Wichita were week end visitors of their grandparents, Jim
and Ruth Lane.
Sally Sturges was in Wichita Friday and had lunch with
Celia Potter Lutz and Lois
Campbell. On Saturday morning Sally was a visitor of Lucille
Butler here in Sedan.
Kathy Chamberland traveled to Salina Friday night to
attend an all day leadership
workshop Saturday of Delta
Kappa Gamma Society.
Jack and Mary Warren
went to Gravette, Ark., Saturday to help celebrate the birthday of their great granddaughter, Ember Crawley.
By Dixie Selter
Mike and Kathy Chamberland went to Winfield early
Sunday morning to have breakfast with Mike’s mother, Shirley
Chamberland, and sister, Cindy
Bland.
Ray and Melodee Wolfe
traveled to Wichita Sunday afternoon to celebrate the birthday of their grandson, Trevor
Samples, on his 17th birthday
at the home of his mother, Amy
Samples. Others present were
Trenton and Zelma Samples
and Elizabeth Stewart and
family.
Kathy Chamberland who is
directing the Elk County Community choir was in Howard
Sunday afternoon for a practice session of the choir held at
the Howard Baptist Church.
Among those attending
the Bridal shower Sunday afternoon for Chelsie Wade and
Garrett Bane were Graftonites,
Sally and Charlene Sturges, Lorene and Lou Jean Selter and
myself. We want to welcome
Chelsie and Garrett to Grafton.
That’s it for this week.

Consider Early

Weaning of Beef Calves
By Richard H Fechter
District Extension Agent
Normally we only consider
early weaning when we are in
the throes of a nasty drought.
However, given what we now
know about calf and cow nutrition, we may want to expand
our thinking. Late summer
forage quality in pastures declines, even in good rainfall
years. The decreased energy and protein content of late
summer grass does not support
a great deal of calf gain. Doubly challenging is that this late
season forage also does not
support a great level of lactation by the calf’s dam, so calf
ADG declines considerably late
in the grazing season.
Although the actual amount
of milk and grass consumed by
calves varies greatly among
calves and from season to season, it can be stated broadly
that the calf’s first choice for a
source of nutrients, as long as
he can get away with it, is his
mother’s milk.
Calves are fully functional ruminants by 60-90 days
of age, and are fully capable
of making use of good quality
forage, but milk is always their
first choice for nutrients, rather than their last. So every day
they will go to their mother and
consume as much milk as they
can. As the calf grows and it’s
appetite climbs, mother’s milk
decreases, effectively pushing
the calf to go to grass more and
more in order to supplement
his nutritional needs. This constant demand for milk by the
calf places a tremendous pull
on the dam’s nutrient reserves.
Early in the season, when
grass is both lush and plentiful, the cow can often produce
a greater quantity of milk than
the small calf canutilize because of the lactation curve
and the abundant nutrient supply available to the dam. However, as grass matures and nutrient supply declines, the cow
will pull energy from her own
reserves to sustain lactation to

Joe “Rob” Hutchison, M.D.
calving, the target body condition for beef cows at the time
of calving is usually a condition
score 5.0, indicating muscling,
and a slight cover of fat. So if
the cow goes into the winter in
poor body condition, we need
to feed those reserves back into
the cow or risk late breeding
next summer and late calving
in subsequent years or even
open cows next fall. It is estimated that for each two weeks
we leave cows grazing late
season pasture with calves still
suckling them, after about September 1, cows lose about 0.25
of a condition score, which is
worth about 20-25 lbs.
If calves are only gaining
0.5- 1.0 lb per day on their dam
late in the season, we can do
better. By weaning (especially utilizing low stress weaning
methods), we can improve the
nutritional supply available to
the calf, meeting all the needs
for energy, protein, vitamins,
and minerals. Weaning during
favorable weather also has the
advantage of reducing stress
and the risk of disease brought
on by inclement, cold, wet, fall
weather.
In turn, the now dry cow
can maintain and oftentimes
actually increase body condition without the demands of
lactation. That means less out
of pocket cost to maintain the
herd. The disadvantages of
early weaning are lower weaning weights, and weaning and
feeding calves separate from
cows requires good quality
feeds, equipment, decent facilities, and labor. But the advantages are reduced disease,
improved daily gains late in
the season, and improved cow
body condition going into the
winter.
It’s usually true that your
standing forage is your cheapest feed resource. But I’m not
advocating NOT using that

value: allow the cows to graze
themselves into good body
condition rather than feeding
that same condition onto them
later in the winter with costly
purchased feeds, and provide
the calves with extra nutrition.
It’s time to reconsider what
we do and why we do it. “Because we’ve always done it this
way…” is the worst reason to
do anything. If there are legitimate, defensible reasons for
what you do on your operation,
then keep on truckin’. If not,
seek wise counsel to find perhaps better, more efficient, and
more effective practices that
may lead to better outcomes
for your calves, your cows, and
hopefully, your bottom line.
Elk Falls News
Over here in Elk Falls I
want to say that I live in the
best supportive little community in the whole wide world.
Some of certain maturity have
a tendency to get as wacky as a
French Bulldog with a Urinary
Tract Infection. I seem to be
one of those people, I will say in
my defense that my “incident”
was greatly exacerbated by my
defective storm door latch.
I stepped out on my porch
on Wednesday night and for
the second time in a couple
years the interior latch did not
fully disengage and I could not
get back into the house. At
some point, using lawn tools
I did get back in and to bed
but I was tired, dehydrated
and pretty out of it by then,
it seems. Beki Eck called to
check on me the next day to
see why I did not show up at
Stone Soup and said I talked
gobbledygook. So on Thursday
evening I opened my eyes to
find my entire neighborhood
and support system standing at
the end of my bed. The group
included Boyd Koehn, EMT;
Charlene Weakley, RN, Kay
Koehn, Beki Eck and Cleo Lutz.
They said, “We are concerned
about, you are not acting yourself.“ I had no pain and could
see them clearly and I denied I
was ill, but they soon had my
silly self loaded into an ambulance and on my way to Sedan
Hospital and ultimately to St.
Francis Hospital in Wichita.
I came home on Sunday to
find the mess on my porch and
at my house all cleaned up. My
hummingbirds had not missed
a single sip of nectar and my
spooky, one person cat, Garman, had been patiently lured
back into the house. All this
was done by my neighbor Kay
Koehn with the assistance of
Riley Hall who had taken care
of my bird feeders for me before when I was out of town.
Beki Eck tattled on me to my
kids and my daughter, Adri
Jones-McMeekin, from Denver was sitting in my hospital
room waiting in Wichita when

I arrived. Charlene was there
to assist with getting me ready
for the ambulance ride. I was
home on Sunday only a short
time when Kay Koehn showed
up with a freshly baked pie.
Beki has made me promise to
phone in with her every day
and John Collins stopped by
with a book he thought I might
enjoy.
Good news is that with all
the help from my friends I got
the care I needed and am home
and back to normal. I am so
thankful to have such good
friends and support. The big
positive of the whole thing was
getting to spend two days with
my daughter. I don’t get to
have that very often now that
she is a grown up woman and
mother.
Margery Cunningham is
also home from the hospital.
She has returned home from
Tulsa where she had surgery
to remove old defective hardware used to brace an old ankle break. Her surgery went
well and she said she got excellent care at the hospital and
I’m sure being the mother of
Michael Cunningham who had
worked with several of those
involved with Margery’s sur-
gery as an anesthesiologist was
an asset for Margery as they
all wanted to take good care
of Michael’s mama. She said
the appliance had room for 5
screws. One was out completely and just lying there under
the skin, three were loose and
the fifth screw had never been
installed. She has permission
to begin her longer walks again
in a month.
There was quiet a celebration in Elk Falls this Sunday.
Calvary Chapel Church celebrated it’s 25th anniversary,
having had their first service in
August 1990. Folks came from
as far away as Tennessee and
several of the original music
team were able to come and
enjoy a special service followed
by a dinner attended by over
70 people. Steve Fry had some
pictures from the early days
and made a special slide show
that everyone enjoyed.
Charlene Weakley enjoyed
a visit from her son Joel, his
wife, Trish and their daughters. Everyone helped out with
yard work and then enjoyed a
cook out.

Falls experience with us, you
are always welcome.

Our movie was “Little House on
the Prairie” in preparation for
our trip tomorrow to see the
house and museum. They have
been reading the book over the
summer. They are seeing how
the the book has so much more
in it than the movie does.
“The world is too much
with you, My child. Your mind
leaps from problem to problem to problem, tangling your
thoughts in anxious knots.
When you think like that, you
leave Me out of your worldview
and your mind becomes darkened. Though I yearn to help,
I will not violate your freedom.
I stand silently in the background of your mind, waiting
for you to remember that I am
with you. When you turn from
your problems to My Presence,
your load is immediately lighter.
Circumstances may not
have changed, but we carry
your burdens together. Your
compulsion to ‘fix’ everything
gives way to deep, satisfying
connection with Me. Together
we can handle whatever this
day brings.” Jesus Calling Devotional - Sarah Young.
The song Jamie sang to
Deric and at church will hold
even more meaning in the
years ahead. “Lost are saved
find their way at the sound
of your great name. All condemned feel no shame at the
sound of your great name.
Every fear has no place at the
sound of your great name. The
enemy—he has to leave at the
sound of your great name.”
His Great Name – Natalie Grant
Have a Blessed week!

Would you like to help the
Chautauqua County Animal
rade. We had all five grandkids
here so we decided to let them
ride their four wheelers and
papa pulled the B,C,C,L,&I Express wagon. They had such a
great time. Shauna, David and
Crystal were here to help. Had
wanted to have them in the parade for a long time but never
had them all here. They enjoyed the kid’s games, the water slides, and the ATV Shodeo.
They came home and rode four
wheelers and played on the slip
‘n slide until time to watch the
movie, “Oliver and Company.”
That is one of my favorite movies by Disney and they hadn’t
seen it.
Many thanks to the
Longton Fair committee and
all the volunteers that made it
such a fun time for all.
Sunday we traveled to
Wichita to Gracepoint and after
having lunch a T.G.I. Friday’s,

us through and we rejoice that
his suffering is over and he is

Friday, I went to the Longton Fair to hear my cousin,
Clint Gilbert, sing his original music. We enjoyed the
BBQ and saw many people we
knew. Great to see Uncle Harley and Aunt Patty, Clint’s wife,
Amy and daughter, Harley Jo,
as well as my sister, Pam Kirk,
her husband, Gary and granddaughter, Aubrey from Wichita. Pam and Gary are restoring
my grandmother’s old house in
Busby and had been here three
weeks. David’s brother, Johnny Keitzer and his wife, Janna,
were there too. Great to see
them all.
