By Rebecca Gray Mike Cooper, developer for Silver Fox Estates, requested that the City of Beloit exchange the two recently installed wooden light poles on Silver Fox Lane with more pleasingly aesthetic poles during the city council meeting Tuesday evening. Cooper offered to pay the difference between the two wooden poles and metal poles on Silver Fox Lane because he is of the opinion that more people will want to build in the new development if the entire estate looks new. “I think you have to consider the entire North Campus for metal light poles,” Cooper said. “We have this nice, new and modern estate for people to build on and we shouldn’t clutter everything up with big wooden poles,” he said. Silver Fox Estate home owner Stephanie Litton said her and her husband Travis chose Beloit because of the beauty of Silver Fox Estates. “Now when I come out of my home, all I see is a big, ugly, faded wooden pole,” Litton said. “It’s in my front yard right next to the driveway,” she said. Litton explained that people are excited about the new estate and she thinks more people are going to want to build a home there, but it will be more appealing with modern metal light poles. Councilman Bob Petterson asked Litton if they would be willing to pay the difference for the light pole next to their driveway and she said no. The consensus of the Council was that the metal poles would look nicer, but there was concern about the cost. “I think it would look nice, but it would be a $30,000 expenditure,” Mayor Tom Naasz said. Cooper said the cost would only be approximately $14,000 for the five to six light poles needed for the estate. Director of Electric Operations Ron Sporleder said cost for a metal pole with arm and light is TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism has teamed up with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas (BCBSKS) to offer Healthy Fun at the State Parks Day, Sept. 26 with a day when admission to all Kansas state parks will be free. A vehicle permit is not required to enter any of the Kansas State Parks, including Lovewell and Glen Elder. Camping fees are still required if camping overnight. “We are pleased to once again partner with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism and sponsor Healthy Fun at the State Parks Day, Sept. 26. As a home-grown and Kansas-based company, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas wants our members – and all Kansans – to lead longer, happier lives by engaging in outdoor activity, like these you can find at our state parks,” said Andrew C. Corbin, BCBSKS president/CEO. “From one corner of the state to the next, Kansas offers a vast array of landscapes in our parks where we can bike, hike, run, play, horseback ride, hunt, swim, and fish or simply take a relaxing walk in the fresh air of Kansas.” In recognition of the special day, BCBSKS has produced a coloring book featuring illustrations that highlight outdoor activities in eight of the Kansas state parks and a map of all 26 state park locations. Information about the parks and educational tips are also included. Coloring books will be available across the state at state park locations, rest stops, tourism offices and the Kansas State Fair. “So many Kansans are unaware of the unique terrain and beautiful landscapes that can be found at Kansas state parks and the fun and healthy outdoor activities that can be enjoyed at each of the parks,” said KDWPT Secretary Robin Jennison. “We appreciate the efforts of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas to promote a healthy lifestyle to their members and all Kansans. We’re pleased that the Kansas state parks have been selected to serve as the centerpiece of this campaign.” Kansas state parks include 32,200 acres of land; more than 500 miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails; more than 280 miles of roads; 10,000 campsites, many with utility hookups; more than 120 rental cabins; and access to more than 130,000 acres of water.

City Administrator Glenn Rodden said there are disadvantages to having both, as the wooden poles would eventually rot and the metal poles would rust. Naasz ended the conversation by saying this is something that would need to be further discussed with more information available. Cooper brought to the council’s attention that there is a large amount of debris buried in the Litton’s backyard. When the Littons attempted to slope the land in their yard for drainage purposes, they ran into a pile of buried debris covering approximately 100 feet across x 30 feet wide x 3 feet deep. “It’s huge, not natural, and it’s everything from limestone pieces to old steel hubcaps, and it can be seen from the north,” Mrs. Litton said. Cooper said the removal of the debris was covered by the city in the contract agreement. Naasz asked City Attorney Katie Schroeder if the city was responsible for the removal according to contract. Schroeder said it was covered and the city would need to remove the debris pile. Naasz asked Rodden to find out what resources the city has to get the removal done in a timely manner. “We need to uphold our end of the contract and get it done as soon as we can,” Naasz said. In other business, a public hearing was held for the unfit structure at 709 W. Court. Code Enforcement Officer Chris Jones said environmental code says property owners are to bring their property up to code. The owners were unable to get a contractor to do the work because they did not have the funds to pay and subsequently, vacated the property about three months ago, he said. The occupants vacated the property about three months ago, he said.

One hundred thirty-three Kansas State University students received 2015-16 Legacy Scholarships Area KSU students receive Legacy scholarships MANHATTAN – Recipients of the K-State Alumni Association’s Legacy Scholarships were recognized during a presentation at the Kansas State University football game in Manhattan on Sept. 5. The $1,000 scholarships were awarded to 133 children and grandchildren of K-State alumni for the 2015-16 academic year. K-State students receiving the scholarship are incoming freshmen as well as current and transfer students. The recipients are both in-state and out-of-state students. Applicants are considered if at least one parent or grandparent is a K-State alumnus, with preference given to members of the Alumni Association. “Alumni across Kansas and the nation have encouraged the university and Association to address tuition issues of legacy students, and this program greatly assists us in those efforts,” said Amy Button Renz, president and CEO of the Alumni Association. “The Association’s board of directors is committed to helping prospective students attend KState.” The scholarships are made possible through funds generated by the K-State License Plate program, administered by the Alumni Association for the university. The state-issued license plates with the purple Powercat logo can be found on the back of more than 7,100 vehicles in Kansas.

I found out when I got home and he was sitting in our living room surfing the Web on my laptop. My wife says she gave him the key so he can let himself in on the three nights a month he’s scheduled to pick up their son for dinner as part of the custody agreement. But he has been making a lot of unscheduled stops at our house -- to use the bathroom, have a snack, etc. I told my wife I don’t like this, but she said, “Don’t be selfish. It’s my home, too!” I spoke to this man politely and told him I don’t want him letting himself in, but he replied, “She says I can come over whenever I like.” Am I being unreasonable about this arrangement? I thought married people are supposed to agree on things like this. It’s almost as though I have to share my home with this man, and he’s not even a helpful guest. He’ll eat a generous amount of food out of the fridge and leave dirty dishes in the sink. Last week, he bought his son a videogame console and violent videogames, which my wife and I had previously agreed would not be allowed in our home. Father and son will spend time playing games in his room when the boy is supposed to be doing his homework, sometimes late at night. I know the guy needs time with his kid, but there’s no reason why he can’t take the boy out to eat, to a movie or to a museum. The ex never made much effort to see his son until we married. This is my first marriage, and I’ve never had any kids of my own, so I’m not entirely sure how to handle it. But I teach high school, and I’ve seen one long sad parade of kids whose parents don’t maintain authority. So, Annie, what is the verdict? Should he have a key or not? -- The Husband Our vote is “not,” especially since he abuses the privilege. It may be her house, but it’s also yours. And while it’s nice to be welcoming to her son’s father, he should not have the run of your home, dropping in unexpectedly and keeping his son up all hours. This is not responsible parenting. It is indulgence. Dad needs to be as diligent a parent as Mom. He cannot be a “fun dad” and do things Mom would not otherwise allow. This does a disservice to the child. Please ask your wife to get into family counseling with you to work on this. Also look into the National Stepfamily Resource Center (stepfamilies.info). This is for “Confused Family Member,” whose niece had a large wedding months after a civil ceremony. My daughter also married civilly two weeks prior to big wedding bash for legal reasons. Her husband was being deployed within the month and she needed power of attorney in order to purchase their new home and do other things. We did not announce it, so as not to confuse anyone. And she kept her maiden name. She is also in the service, and it saved a lot of paperwork. -- Tootles Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Sharon Sahlfeld photos By Deb Hadachek CRE Psalm 56:3-4: When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? We might think it’s funny what some people are afraid of. Yet, even irrational fears are real enough to have names: Peladophobia: fear of baldness and bald people. Aerophobia: fear of drafts. Porphyrophobia: fear of the color purple. Chaetophobia: fear of hairy people. Levophobia: fear of objects on the left side of the body. Dextrophobia: fear of objects on the right side of the body. Odontophobia: fear of teeth. Graphophobia: fear of writing in public. And my favorite: Phobophobia: fear of being afraid. A good acronym to apply to your fear is FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real. Write down your greatest fear this very moment. Is it real? Or just something you think might happen or could happen or did happen to someone on the television news or to your neighbor’s second cousin’s friend’s teacher? When you see your fear written in black and white, does it still seem so scary? What’s the worst thing that can happen if you face your fear and step out in faith? Are you afraid of what other people will think of you? Are you afraid of failure? Fear is a normal human emotion in response to any situation that is new, different, or makes us uncomfortable. Mark Twain said “Courage is not the absence of fear. It is acting in spite of it.” Fear might be an inevitable consequence For if you forgive men when they sin against of life. But it doesn’t you, your Heavenly need to keep you from Father will also really living. forgive you. But if you do not forgive men “Jesus told him, their sins, your Father ‘Don’t be afraid; just will not forgive your sins. believe.’” --Mark 5:36 Matthew 6:14-15 Church Directory Father Damien Richards, Pastor Father George Kalampatt, Asst.

Councilman Matt Otte asked what the monetary burden on the city would be to do this and Jones said approximately $5000. The city attorney said it is clear that the owner will not be able to pay as they had been to court regarding the matter. The resolution for the city to demolish the property was adopted. More light poles for the city are needed to replace damaged or rotted poles due to weather or other causes, Rodden said. The council voted unanimously to accept a bid in the amount of $10,591from the Kritz-Davis Company for 34 wood poles. The council accepted a bid for $11,815 from BRACE Industrial Group to replace the aluminum insulation on the jacket water pipes and heater tank at the power plant. the damage was caused by a hail storm in August of 2014. The cost will be covered by insurance. A bid for $13,200 from Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company to complete Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emission testing on engine number 7 at the power plant was also approved by the council. This testing is due every five years or at the time of the Operating Permit renewal as required by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). Power Plant Operations Foreman Manny Milbers said the operating permit is up for renewal this year. He recommended the bid from Burns & McDonnell as they have done the testing twice before. Discussion was held on whether or not to enter into an agreement with the Kansas Municipal Energy Act (KMEA) for the purpose of selling excess energy to Meade for 12 months, starting in January. Rodden said it would be one to two mega watts of power per hour and cost would be credited back monthly to the city. The electric operations director said the city must purchase a specific amount of energy and it has not been fully utilized in the past. The city’s cost per mega watt was not available and councilman Lloyd Littrell moved to table the conversation until the information could be retrieved and then discussed at the next meeting. The motion failed with a vote of 2-5. “I would like to get it done tonight,” councilman Otte said. “If we can benefit from it, we should do it and maybe we will need help sometime and power pool will help us if we help them,” he said. Rodden said the city would profit from this agreement and if they were doing it this year, the profit would be approximately $8,000. The agreement was approved with a vote of 6-1. Rodden requested that the council discuss the possibility of adopting an early retirement incentive for current employees who qualify for retirement under the Kansas Retirement System for Public Employees (KPERS), but do not yet qualify for health care coverage under Medicare. The policy would allow a current employee to retire but stay on the city’s health care plan for one year for every 10 years of service. This policy would only be extended to current employees who qualify and apply by Nov. 30, 2015. Councilman Rick Brown said he believes it should be a permanent policy so the city can use it as incentive to get new employees and keep current employees as well. Councilman Otte asked Rodden if he thought the policy was in the city’s best interest and if he supported it. Rodden said he did not think it would hurt our operations and that it worked out well the last time they offered it. Rodden reported on the North Campus project and said work is being done on the sidewalk and have funding has been requested through Sunflower. He said the LEC parking lot is also being worked on at the same time and the project should be completed by the end of the year.
