Sabetha Clinic has ‘obligation’ to require childhood immunization, doctors say P AMBER DETERS hysicians at the Sabetha Family Practice Clinic have announced a new policy — the result of years of concern and research, and months of discussion — in May of this year. The policy officially goes into effect Friday, July 1. Under the new policy, to continue receiving outpatient care at the Sabetha Family Practice Clinic, children must be up-to-date with required immunizations per the Centers for Disease Control recommended standard immunization schedule. “For a long time, we’ve thought this was an important issue and stance,” the SFP Clinic physicians said. “We just finally decided it was time, and made the decision [to set the policy] about six months ago.” “It’s the right thing to do,” said Dr. Gregg Wenger, SFP physician. The only exception to SFP immunization policy is for patients who have a “true medical contraindication” to a vaccine, and the contraindication must have been evaluated and approved by a SFP Clinic physician. A true medical contraindication could include medical conditions or treatments that result in a c ompro mised immune system, or an allergy to the vaccine. The doctors described this possibility as “very rare.” The doctors stressed the point that the new policy applies only to outpatient care at the SFP Clinic, not Sabetha Community Hospital, at which all patients who need care will receive it. The facts — who, what, when and where — of the policy itself are simple. And, while the “why” is the question that requires more explaining, SFP physicians Dr. Wenger, Dr. Kevin Kennally, Dr. James Longabaugh, Dr. Kerstin Glynn and Dr. Christian Tramp say it is just as simple: to keep people safe. “We feel we are responsible for the health of this community,” Dr. Kennally said. “We feel an obligation [to take this stance], and we are backed by good science.” “The concept that Sabetha citizens would not be exposed to rare diseases is not accurate,” Dr. Longabaugh said. “We live in global society, and a very global community.” “The overwhelming scientific literature supports immunizations,” Dr. Glynn said. “In almost all cases, a standard pediatric immunization schedule is indicated.” “We would love to change the hearts and minds of those who do not vaccinate, and we have tried, but some continue to disregard the dangers,” Dr. Tramp said. “Obviously, people are free to make their own decisions and we cannot force anyone into this.” The new policy is about setting a standard for the Sabetha Family Practice Clinic outpatient practice, Dr. Tramp said. IMMUNIZATION.7A Done… for now AMBER DETERS Schools should still be open on July 1, if the Kansas Supreme Court approves of the Kansas Legislature’s most recent fix to school finance equitability, one portion of the Gannon v. State of Kansas school finance case. In a May 27 ruling, the Kansas Supreme Court threatened that if the Legislature did not produce a constitutional finance plan by June 30 — the last day of the fiscal year — schools would be unable to operate as of July 1. Following a two-day special session, the Legislature on Friday, June 23, approved a bipartisan school finance equity plan — Substitute for House Bill 2001. The measure was the work of both aisles, and was supported by both the Gannon plaintiffs and the Governor. The measure was approved 116-6 in the House and 38-1 in the Senate. Governor Sam Brownback on Monday, June 27, signed Substitute for House Bill 2001. “I am pleased to sign this bill, ensuring that Kansas schools remain open,” Brownback said. “As I said when I called the special session, our focus was on making sure the Kansas Supreme Court did not close schools over 1 percent of the $4 billion spent on education in Kansas.” For local school district Prairie Hills USD No. 113, this legislation’s impact is minimal, adding an estimated $12,676 of state aid for the district’s Supplemental General budget. Superintendent Todd Evans said it is his understanding that this additional money will “not be new money to the district” but rather taxpayer relief of approximately .1 mill. Late Monday, following Brownback’s signing, the State and Plaintiff Districts jointly requested that the Court enter an order acknowledging that the Legislature has currently satisfied the Court’s orders. If granted by the Court, the joint request would ensure schools remain open and operating after June 30. Weighing In Superintendent Todd Evans said he feels positive about HB 2001. “There was a proposal out there to obtain part of the money from school districts’ general funds,” Evans said. “I am appreciate that the legislature did not take this avenue, because no only would it have had a negative financial impact on our FINANCE.5A SABETHA CITY COMMISSION SABETHA PLANNING COMMISSION City Commission approves tax abatements for two companies Planning Commission to hold Comprehensive Plan public hearing on July 27 KRISTA WASINGER The Sabetha City Commission met at 6 p.m. Monday, June 27.

Online guest book and obituary at www.meierhoffer.com. David Henry David John Henry, 70, died Wednesday, June 22, 2016, after a 5-1/2 year bout with cancer. David was born Nov. 11, 1945, in Seneca to Bernard and Rachel (Waller) Henry. On July 23, 1966, he married Mary Milne. They celebrated an early 50 years of marriage this year in Jasper, Ark., on a family vacation. Dave grew up on a farm near Seneca and attended Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic School, where his passion for football began. He graduated with the class of 1963. After high school, he attended K-State until the death of his brother Hank in a skiing accident. He left school to work in Kansas City and then Topeka until his old high school coach, Matt May, approached him to play football at the St. Mary of the Plains College in Dodge City. At the end of his junior year, he was called to report for basic training in the Army. He was ready to go to Vietnam when the war ended. He went back to St. Mary of the Plains to finish school and graduated in 1969. Coach Henry’s first teaching and coaching job took him back to his alma mater, Sts. Peter and Paul. After only one year there, he left in 1970 to accept a job at Jackson Heights as the P.E. teacher, head football and head boys’ track coach. He remained the head football and boys’ track coach through 1994. Several of his football teams earned playoff bids, and the Cobras finished second in the State on two occasions – 1971 and 1983. David’s teams always played hard, they were always fundamentally sound and respected by opposing coaches. He signed on to be an assistant football coach from 1996 until 2006, and also served as the Athletic Director for Jackson Heights from 1997 until 2007. David served as an assistant basketball coach off and on throughout his career at Jackson Heights, including when the Lady Cobras won the Class 1A State Basketball Tournament and the Grand State Championship in 1976. These were not the only contributions David Henry made to Jackson Heights. After David retired from teaching in 2007, he took on a school bus route from 2007 until he finally retired in the fall of 2015. From 1994 through the fall of 2015, David took great pride in caring for the school grounds and football field, which is now named “Dave Henry Football Field.” His passion for the school was evident in the beautiful field and how he cared for the flowers that he planted. David is preceded in death by his parents, Ben and Rachel; and brothers, Leonard, John, Elmer and Hank. He is survived by his wife Mary; sisters, Teresa Meyer, Grace Buessing and Gladys Deters; brothers, Daniel, Ron, Mark and Ed; daughters and sons-in laws – all married to David’s former football players – Volora (Matt) Hanzlicek of Sabetha, Ceela (Jaime) Schumann of Fairview, and Ericka (Josh) Watkins of Holton; and nine grandchildren, Akaylah (Erik) Jaeke, Alaina (Will) Hickman, Gaven, Kegan, Ian, Isabell and Melinna; and one great grandchild, Afton. For the past six years, David has been battling cancer, but always had a positive attitude.

Kenneth was born in Detroit on May 18, 1923, to Alfred and Frieda Winkler Schuster. He attended business high school in Detroit and then served in the Marines during World War II. Ken was stationed in San Diego, Calif. and Hawaii. When he completed his tour of the service, he returned to Michigan and had a job waiting for him at the Wabash Railroad. He spent 46 years with the railroad, working his way up from the mailroom to the National Accounts Manager upon his retirement from Norfolk Southern. He enjoyed travels to many part of the world and appreciated his church family in Beverly Hills, Mich., in his retirement years. The Bern-Sabetha area became special to him when he visited here after meeting and marrying the former Wilma Wenger in 1946 at San Diego, Calif. Every year, there was always a reunion in Kansas to celebrate the anniversary of her parents, Jake and Stella Wenger. The close-knit extended family and multiple generations would come from all over the country to attend. Wilma died in 1988. Sabetha was so important to Ken that he brought his second wife, Mabel, here to visit and introduce her to this part of his life so that she could understand what it meant to him. Mabel died in 2014. Sabetha, Bern and the Wenger family were held close to Ken’s heart, so that he specifically requested his final resting place be in the country cemetery at the Apostolic Christian Church, southeast of Bern. Survivors include his daughters, Loree (Stanley) Schuster Todd of Philadelphia, Penn., and Karen (John) Schroeder of Evanston, Ill.; four grandchildren, Jacob and Dustin Todd, and Matthew and Michael Schroeder; and a sister, Dorlene Delezenne of Michigan. Graveside services conducted by John Lehman were held Thursday, June 23, at the Bern Apostolic Christian Cemetery. A later memorial service will be held in July in Beverly Hills, Mich.

Should we immunize our children? This wasn’t even a question my husband and I discussed before having our first child… or our second child, or our third. Not immunizing was never a consideration for us. When watching movies or television shows based in times prior to invention of vaccines, I am always intrigued by the diseases that strike — what they are called, what the symptoms are and, above all else, the fear that accompanied them wherever they would go. I always follow up the little I learn with an investigation into the disease — where and who it struck, what we call it now, etc. It never ceases to amaze me how a disease once so feared is now something that I have to research to know what it is. I might know the name, but I don’t know anything about it past that. I don’t know much, if anything, about many of these diseases, because I haven’t needed to fear them. This isn’t by accident. It is the result of hundreds of years of scientific research and discovery. In some cases, it is the result of effective medical treatments. In others, it is the result of preventive treatments — vaccines. Review on Page 7A the list of diseases — diphtheria, measles and polio, to name a few — for which we immunize our children in the United States. You might recognize the names, but did you recognize the causes, the symptoms, the complications? Did you notice “death” listed as a possible complication on almost all of them? I do not believe a child, or anyone else, should die from a disease that so easily could have been prevented. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, people still are — not by choice, but because of a lack of one. Yet — by choice — there are those among us who do not vaccinate their children. In doing so, they put not only those children at risk, but also many others who did not have a choice — babies too young to be fully immunized, for example. I do not agree with that choice. In keeping with that belief, I fully support the Sabetha Family Practice Clinic physicians in implementing a “zero tolerance” childhood immunization policy. Immunize them all? Yes, I believe so. Amber Deters Co-Editor The Sabetha Herald VACCINES Myth vs. Fact Myth 1: Better hygiene and sanitation will make diseases disappear – vaccines are not necessary. FALSE Fact 1: The diseases we can vaccinate against will return if we stop vaccination programs. While better hygiene, hand washing and clean water help protect people from infectious diseases, many infections can spread regardless of how clean we are. If people are not vaccinated, diseases that have become uncommon, such as polio and measles, will quickly reappear. Myth 4: Vaccine-preventable diseases are almost eradicated in my country, so there is no reason to be vaccinated. FALSE Fact 4: Although vaccine preventable diseases have become uncommon in many countries, the infectious agents that cause them continue to circulate in some parts of the world. In a highly inter-connected world, these agents can cross geographical borders and infect anyone who is not protected. In western Europe, for example, measles outbreaks have occurred in unvaccinated populations in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom since 2005. So two key reasons to get vaccinated are to protect ourselves and to protect those around us. Successful vaccination programs, like successful societies, depend on the cooperation of every individual to ensure the good of all. We should not rely on people around us to stop the spread of disease; we, too, must do what we can. See full list at www.SabethaHerald.com.

COLUMNS Shield your finances from disasters W henever catastrophic events occur, they clearly demonstrate that our communities and livelihoods can be unexpectedly destroyed in a matter of minutes. In the aftermath, many victims of natural disasters struggle to get back on their feet financially. While there is no way to completely prevent a natural disaster, there are steps you can take to protect yourself and your family from financials difficulties should you be forced to evacuate your home in an emergency. Some strategies to help prepare for potential disasters are: Store important documents in some kind of “evacuation box.” Gather and make copies of all of your key financials and personal documents, including passports and birth certificates. Marriage licenses, wills, property deeds, insurance policies, mortgage records, car titles, and stock and bond certificates. Make copies of the front and back of all credit cards and drivers licenses. Then make a list of all your account and credit card numbers, as well as a written and photographic inventory of all you valuables. Be sure to have enough cash or travelers checks to last your family about three days. Keep all essential documents in a ban safe deposit box located away from your home, or in an airtight, waterproof, and fireproof safe or container that be easily taken with you in Schumann case of an evacuation. Inform Financial family members or trusted Advice friends of the BY: BOB box’s location SCHUMANN in case you are unable to personally retrieve it. In order to maintain liquidity, avoid tying up all of your assets in real estate or investments that cannot be tapped without paying penalties. Keep the equivalent of three to six months income in a savings or money market account. You may also want to have on hand several credit cards with high available balances or arrange in advance a line of credit for an emergency. If you have a 401(k) account with your employer, find out whether your plan allows you to take a loan out against your savings. In protecting your property, if you live in an area that is vulnerable to natural disasters, consider ways to mitigate potential damage to your property. Depending upon the type of disaster likely to strike in your location, you may want to take precautionary measures by installing smoke detectors and clearing brush from around the house, if uncertain, ask a building inspector to recommend structural or other type of improvements. By taking protective measures, you may be able to negotiate a reduction in the premium on your homeowners insurance. Purchase adequate coverage and review your policies annually. If you have homeowners insurance, check your policy to ensure that it covers the actual replacement cost of your home and its contents. This is especially important if the value of your home has risen significantly or if you have made your improvement to the property. Be aware that your policy may not cover damage due to specific causes such a flooding. In addition, you may want to consider disability income insurance coverage to provide a source of income in case you are injured in a disaster and unable to work for a period of time. If you receive health benefits through your employer but lose your job, you may keep your coverage for a specified period of time under Federal COBRA laws. In addition, make sure that your life insurance coverage is sufficient to meet the needs of your family. It may be possible to withdraw some or all of the cash value from a permanent life insurance policy, if necessary. However, access to cash values through borrowing or partial surrenders can reduce the policy’s cash value and death benefit increase the chance the policy will lapse, and may result in a tax liability if the policy terminates before the death of the insured. In summary, do not wait until disaster strikes. The time to prepare is now. Consider consulting a legal professional about the potential benefits of additional protection such as trusts, powers of attorney and a living will. It needs to be understood that this will not be new money to any districts. This would be state aid for the supplemental general fund that would be property tax relief. For USD No. 113, this would be $12,676. The property tax relief would be a little over 0.1 mill. Most of the arguments will be about where to obtain the $38 million. One of today’s headlines from the Topeka Capital-Journal was “Kansas Finance Council approves record $900 million debt certificate.” Contrast that with action taken by the USD No. 113 Board of Education at the June 6 meeting de- ciding to pay off a lease purchase for energy efficiency. The Board displayed a high level of financial responsibility by using savings to pay off a loan with interest rates of 4.97 percent to 5.97 percent. According to a study conducted by BOE member Kent Saylor, the savings to the district on that lease purchase between now and 2024 is calculated at $161,778.50. If our children stay in the state of Kansas, let’s hope they are not burdened by debt incurred by our irresponsibility during these recent and future years. I am hoping that the shutdown crisis will cause the public, especially voters, to be aware of the state of our state. We need a longterm plan for appropriate revenue. We need a long-term plan for funding education. In the short term, we need to keep our schools open. Revenue problem A s I write this article on Thursday, June 23, 2016, the dark shadow of a potential shutdown of schools across the State of Kansas has superintendents, legislators and the media scurrying across the landscape. While the potential shutdown, attributed to unconstitutional legislative action, is very concerning, the problem within the state of a lack of revenue is the more serious long-term threat. I have heard the statement, “We don’t have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem.” I disagree with this statement, and there is much evidence to support the fact that we do have a revenue problem in Kansas that will be felt many years from now. Revised revenue estimates continue to come in below lowered expectations resulting in cuts to various functions of the state. I assume that the estimators are proficient and qualified at their work, but an overabundance of mistakes is mysterious. The latest estimates are that Kansas will be down $45 million at the end of this Notes fiscal year. from USD The only logical explanation No. 113 is that the 2012 BY: TODD EVANS and 2013 in- SUPERINTENDENT come tax cuts have impacted revenue much more than anticipated. Even with a very large sales tax increase, there is a revenue problem. Thirty-eight million dollars in state aid is the magic number at this point to fund the formula to meet the constitutionally proven acceptable formula. opinion sabethaherald.com | The Sabetha Herald | June 29, 2016 5A COLUMNS Gray leaf spot, Japanese beetles G ray leaf spot can be devastating to corn. According to Illinois corn fungicide trials, if at least five percent of the ear leaf area is affected by disease at season’s end, a foliar fungicide applied between VT and R1 would likely have been beneficial. Fungicide application research has demonstrated that the single best time to apply a fungicide to corn for gray leaf spot control is from VT to R1. That means, if you haven’t been scouting – it’s time to start! Gray leaf spot is characterized by one to two inch long rectangular (the shape is key!) lesions over the entire leaf area between the veins. Early lesions are small, necrotic spots with yellow halos that gradually expand to full-sized lesions. Usually tan, lesions may turn gray during foggy or rainy conditions. Predicting disease pressure is difficult at best. That said, Kansas State University Plant Pathologist Dr. Doug Jardine encourages growers to focus scouting based on several disease risk factors, including hybrid susceptibility (seed company information is your best resource), previous crop, weather and field history. Crops & If moisture in the form of Soils rain or humidity is prevalent, BY: DAVID d isease risk HALLAUER MEADOWLARK increases. Pay EXTENSION close attention DISTRICT to fields with a history of high disease severity as well. Current disease management guidelines suggest a “stairstep” approach to fungicide applications. Susceptible hybrids (the lowest rated within a company’s lineup) should be considered for a fungicide application if disease symptoms are present on the third leaf below the ear or higher on 50 percent of plants. Intermediate hybrids need to show disease symptoms on the third leaf below the ear or higher on 50 percent of the plants examined, if the field is in an area with a history of foliar disease problems, if the previous crop was corn, if there is 35 percent or more surface residue, and if the weather is warm and humid. Resistant hybrids (those with the best rating within a company’s lineup) generally won’t benefit from fungicide applications. Japanese Beetles They have returned! Japanese Beetles are back in full force. Adults are just under a 1/2 inch long and metallic green with coppery wing covers. A series of white dots made up of tufts of hair that project from under the edges of the wing covers are present on the back half of the insect. The beetles feed in groups on Strawberry bed renewal N ext year’s strawberry crop will be affected by what you do to this year’s strawberry bed. The sooner after harvest the patch is cleaned up, fertilized and irrigated – if possible – On the the better the chance of get- Extension ting a good Line crop next year. One of the BY: MATT YOUNG main goals in BROWN COUNTY renovation is to EXTENSION provide a high level of sunlight to plant leaves so they can manufacture the food the plant needs. If leaves have disease spots, remove all the leaves in the bed. Removing these diseased leaves and weeds will cause new, nondiseased leaves to develop and remove competition from weedy plants. Hedge shears or even a mower can be used. Be sure the mower blade is high enough to avoid the strawberry crowns. It is also important to reduce the number of strawberry plants so they do not compete for light, moisture and nutrients. If you have a small bed, you can hoe out or pull some plants so they are spaced about fou r to si x inches apart. On large beds, adjust a rototiller so you can till between the rows, and cut each row back to about 10 inches wide. The next step is to fertilize the plants with about 3/4 to one pound (three to four cups) of a complete fertilizer such as 13-13-13 (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) or an equivalent on each 25 feet of row. If a soil test shows adequate levels of phosphorus and potassium, use 3/4 pound (1-1/2 cups) of a 160-0 (nitrate of soda) fertilizer per 25 feet of row instead. If nitrate of soda is unavailable, use the lawn fertilizer that contains about 30 percent nitrogen such as a 30-0-3, 28-0-3 or something similar. Make sure the lawn fertilizer does not contain a weed killer or preventer. These fertilizers should be used at the rate of 3/4 cup per 25 feet of row. The next step is to irrigate to wash the fertilizer into the soil and provide moisture for the rapid growth of the strawberry plants. When the soil is dry, apply about 1 inch of water. A garden sprinkler can do a good job applying the water. Controlling weeds and watering throughout the summer are important so plants are vigorous when fruit buds begin to develop in September and October. Chiggers Chiggers are mites, not insects. And like all mites, the adults have eight legs. However, the larva only has six legs. Though the bright red female adult is tiny (about 1/20 of an inch) the larva is much smaller (about 1/150 of an inch). Only the larvae are parasitic and attack animals. The larva injects digestive juices Passing it on I leaves, flowers and wounded or mushy fruit (usually working from the top down) of over 300 different plant species, typically over a four to six week period. Control options are as varied as simply shaking them from plants in to a jar or bucket containing soapy water (best done in the morning when the insects are sluggish) to the multitude of insecticide products available to homeowners. In most cases, the level of infestation determines the control method! Insecticides with active ingredients that include cyfluthrin, bifenthrin and cyhalothrin will generally provide two to three weeks of protection. Carbaryl containing products can be used as well, lasting one to two weeks. Neem or Pyola containing products will provide three to four days of control. Avoid traps as they tend to attract more beetles than they kill! Keep your eyes out for them. They can eat a lot in a short time! was able to attend the Passing the Farm to the Next Generation meeting hosted by Denison State Bank. Roger McEowan, a former Kansas State University Ag Law specialist was the guest speaker. After several years at Iowa State University, he is back in Kansas. Roger is an expert at farm succession planning! We’ve all heard the horror stories of those who failed to plan, and their farms ended up being sold or enormous amounts of money given to Uncle Sam. It’s an important thing to do. It’s not easy and it’s not free, but it’s a must. The questions at the end of his presentation were very thought provoking. Where do you start? His answer was a great one. He suggests sitting down and filling out sort of a balance sheet of what all of your assets are. How much they are worth and how much is still owed on them. Then secondly, decide what your goals are. Do you want the farm to stay operational, in the family?

Kansas House Representative Randy Garber, R-Sabetha, said he has mixed feelings concerning HB 2001. “On one hand, as I stated in the past, I believe the judiciary continues to overstep their authority and ignore the constitution they took an oath to uphold,” Garber said. “On the other hand, I am glad the legislature acted quickly to ensure that our children’s education is not disrupted by unelected judges who are using them to divert the public’s attention from their abysmal record.” Pyle said he believes it is unfortunate that “seven justices put Kansas schoolchildren in this situation.” “The U.S. Supreme Court has reversed the Kansas Supreme Court time and time again in cases involving issues like the death penalty and sexual predators, and most recently how they interpreted the Constitution as it relates to DUI breathalyzer testing,” Pyle said. “Just as these rulings by seven justices demonstrate the Court’s low grade, the fact they were willing to close schools also demonstrates their willingness to usurp the power of the people and local control.” “The authority to close schools belongs to local school boards,” Pyle continued. “Rather than following the Constitution, seven justices empowered themselves by deciding for the districts what is best for them.” Garber noted that the State of Kansas has had “some form of school finance litigation for 31 of the last 50 years.” “Those who are padding their pockets with taxpayer dollars will do everything they can to keep the gravy train moving in their direction,” Garber said. “This is costing our taxpayers millions of dollars every year. Our tax dollars belong in the classroom, not in some law firm’s bank account. It is time for this nonsense to end.” Far From Over Believe it or not, Superintendent Evans said, the equity portion of the Gannon lawsuit is the “easy part.” “The challenge will come this next year when the Court rules on the adequacy portion of the lawsuit,” Evans said. “In my opinion, the Court will direct the legislature to significantly increase school funding.” “Our state is struggling to have the revenue stream to finance operations at the current level,” Evans said. “If there is not an increased revenue stream at the state level, we will be faced with yet another self-inflicted crisis.” Evans said he has hope that the public is beginning to recognize a need for change. “As a state, we are in need of change,” Evans said. “The bipartisan group of four former Kansas governors with the ‘Save Kansas Coalition’ is symbolic of the growing awareness that, as a state, we are not being financially responsible.” Garber said he believes HB 2001 is a temporary fix, calling it “far from equitable.” “While the legislation will satisfy the equity portion of the lawsuit, it is far from equitable, because it punishes school districts who lose students and rewards those who gain them,” Garber said. “This is why the Republican-led legislature did the right thing by getting rid of the old school [finance] formula, which has been declared unconstitutional by the courts several times since it became law in 1992.” Pyle characterized the legislation as both permanent and temporary. “It [HB 2001] is permanent enough to prevent disruption to schools, but temporary in the sense that Kansas schools need to be innovative and competitive, and the challenges before our state are every changing,” Pyle said. Pyle says the old school finance formula was “problematic, especially for rural areas.” BY: JODY HOLTHAUS MEADOWLARK EXTENSION DISTRICT AGENT The second question, an even better one, was who do you go to get some help?

Don’t stock up on groceries then run errands afterwards. There’s a chance your food could spoil (especially during hot weather) or lessen in quality. • If your drive home from the store/market takes longer than an hour, use a cooler/insulated bags to keep the food fresh and safe. • Before consuming any produce, it’s important to thoroughly wash the items under hot running water even if you are not eating the peel, as dirt can transfer from the outside to inside. So yes, this means I’m recommending you wash your onions! It’s not necessary to wash with soap or special commercial produce washes. Clean running water is enough. Clean scrub brushes are helpful when washing tough or dimpled skinned produce like potatoes and melons. • When you get home from the grocery/market, make sure to store your produce properly to maintain its quality and safety.

Prairie Hills USD No. 113 Board of Education AMBER DETERS The Prairie Hills USD No. 113 Board of Education met in special session at 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 21, at the district office in Sabetha. Board Members present included Ed Reznicek, Kathy Lippert, Kent Saylor, Jim Scoby, Leslie Scoby and Jeff DeMint. Present via telephone was Board Member Kent Kuckelman. Superintendent Todd Evans presented to the board HVAC system bids for Sabetha Elementary School. The low bid was $73,300 from Edelmans Home Center in Sabetha. The new system design should be more consistent and more comfortable, Evans said. “Productivity is better if people are comfortable where they work,” Reznicek said. While the new HVAC system design is more expensive at the outset, Evans said, the mechanical engineer says the district should recoup that cost — through energy savings — in seven to 10 years. Board members asked what the life expectancy of the system should be. Engineer Scott McKinley told the board that the lifes- All classified staff would be asked to turn in timecards on June 28 or 29 — with the last few days of the month estimated — to allow time for processing and payment by June 30, he said. Salaried staff who requested lump sum payments have already received checks in June, according to District Clerk Carol Kuckelman. Some others, however, have requested deferred payments that are usually paid in June, July and August. Board members said that, since this money that has already been earned, the district could also pay those employees on June 30 if necessary. Whether or not the Court would grant districts the ability to continue to pay essential staff and essential bills is unknown at this time, Evans said. Most are still viewing the actual likelihood of shutdown to be slim, he said. Board members noted that they would be willing to complete essential building tasks, if necessary, if a shutdown occurs. If it appears that a shutdown is looming, Evans would contact board members with further information regarding building needs and a possible special meeting. Brown County Genealogical Society Submitted by Marla Hathhorn Secretary The Thursday, June 16, Brown County Genealogical Society meeting was opened by President Nancy Prawl, with 25 members and guests present. Secretary Marla Hathhorn read the May minutes. Treasurer Gail Coker-Carr read the May treasurer’s report. The reports were approved as read. Prawl reported the Society will host the ice cream socials for the Hiawatha Jazz Band. The ice cream socials are on June 20 and 27, and July 11 and 18. The Society will host an auction luncheon on July 9. Donations and volunteers were requested. Librarian Penny Milroy reported that Darin Drimmel will provide quarterly maintenance on the Library’s new website for $100 a quarter. The quarterly maintenance fee was approved. The date for the annual Santa’s Attic fundraiser will be Nov. 5, 2016. Betty and Dale Aue, owners of Sycamore Springs, discussed the history of the resort. Native Americans called the springs “The Healing Waters.” Aue reported that 60,000 gallons flow every 24 hours, and the spring has never frozen. Aue told of the many activities available at Sycamore Springs. The next meeting will be July 21. Twila Blanton will present a program on her uncle, who was killed in World War II. The meeting adjourned, and refreshments were served by Milroy and Coker-Carr. GOVERNING BODY Nemaha County Commission Also, the board opened and reviewed the proposal submitted by SBS Insurance Agency for the county’s property/liability insurance coverage and the county’s workers’ compensation insurance coverage for 2016-17. Gary Elliott, Assistant Fire Chief of the Sabetha Fire Department, came before the board to request a red light permit for his personal vehicle when responding to calls. Vernon and County Attorney Brad Lippert also were present for this discussion. Commissioners stated that they would possibly be in favor of allowing the Chief and the Assistant Chief to have emergency lights turned on in their own personal vehicles while they were at the scene of a call, but not while driving to the scene or to the fire station. Commissioners made no decision regarding this issue at this time. Commissioners spoke further to Lippert concerning the request for a red light permit. Commissioners also spoke to Lippert about the issue brought to them this morning concerning the chip and sealing of roads in the small towns in Nemaha County. Department Reports Ronnebaum advised the board that Hall Brothers is no longer running a hot mix plant at the landfill. Ronnebaum said that he has the workers hauling hot mix out of Topeka right now, and they will be hauling out of Blue Rapids later. The pan of any mechanical equipment should be 15 to 20 years, maybe a few more with good maintenance. “We have to maintain infrastructure,” J. Scoby said. “And I like that it is a local company.” The board approved the $73,300 bid from Edelmans for a new HVAC system at SES. The work to install this system should be completed this summer, along with a roof replacement for that portion of the building. Next, the board discussed the potential for school shutdown due to a Kansas Supreme Court decision in the Gannon v. State of Kansas case. The Court has given the Kansas Legislature until June 30 to correct what the Court has deemed to be unconstitutional equitability in the state’s school funding formula. Governor Sam Brownback has called a special session, which convened beginning Thursday, June 23, to consider solutions. If the legislature does not satisfy the Court, the KSC has threatened to shut down all schools. If this happens, Evans said, USD No. 113 will work to pay all district employees for any work that has been completed by June 30. CLUB NEWS GOVERNING BODY The Board of Nemaha County Commissioners met in regular session on Monday, June 20, in the Commissioner’s Room of the Nemaha County Courthouse.

Ronnebaum said that he now has the workers hauling chips out of Onaga. The workers are progressing on Bridge C-6. Ronnebaum said he let the bridge crew know that they could come in early and leave early if they wanted to during the hot weather days like we have been having recently. Coughlin Construction plans to be here right after the July Fourth Holiday to work on Wichman Road and the Goff-Oneida Road, Ronnebaum told commissioners. Sheriff Rich Vernon advised the board that the Nixle Program needs to be renewed for the next year. Vernon stated that there were some issues reported with some people not receiving the alerts, but that these issues have been resolved. Because of these issues, the cost to renew has been decreased from $3,862 to $2,896. Commissioners agreed to continue this program and to continue to pay for the cost out of the General Fund. Vernon told commissioners he is looking at upgrading the camera systems in the patrol cars and said that this would be paid for out of the Diversion Fund and the Concealed Carry Fund. Vernon also stated that he would bring in quotes for this at a later meeting. Senior Services/Public Transit Director Diane Yunghans came before the board to request that she and Alane Bloom be able to attend the National Meals on Wheels Conference in Nashville, Tenn., in August.

In May, the SFP Clinic physicians sent a detailed explanation letter to all patients with children. The doctors also willingly invite any patients and families to come into the Clinic to discuss questions and/or concerns they might have. Risk vs. Reward The CDC recommends immunizing against now vaccinepreventable diseases that previously killed millions. Standard childhood vaccines that the SFP Clinic will require include Chickenpox (varicella), Diphtheria, Measles, Mumps, Polio, Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), Pneumococcal, Rotavirus, Rubella, Tetanus and Whooping Cough (pertussis). Vaccines that will not be required, but are strongly recommended by SFP Clinic physicians, include Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Flu (influenza), HPV (human papillomavirus) and Meningococcal. Many people might assume that the diseases prevented by immunization could just as easily be treated after someone becomes infected. However, more than half of vaccine-preventable diseases are viral, and therefore only treatable with prevention, the doctors said. Some of the others, though bacterial and treatable, require very quick treatment to be effective, Dr. Wenger said. For example, while illnesses caused by Meningococcal Disease can be treated with antibiotics, treatment cannot always be administered fast enough, as in some cases the illness can be fatal just a few hours after symptoms appear. Dr. Tramp says he believes parents who choose not to vaccinate, forget to vaccinate, or neglect boosters as children get older do not understand the risk of not immunizing their children. “The risk [a parent is taking] by not immunizing is so much greater than any risks associated with the vaccinations that they’re not even on the same graph,” he said. “We have a younger generation — now parents to their own children — who has never seen these diseases and how powerful they are.” While a number of myths exist, Dr. Kennally said he has never heard a “legitimate argument against immunization.” “It a wonderful tool that has prevented a lot of infectious diseases,” he said. “People in other countries are dying from diseases that we don’t even see here, and that’s because of vaccines.” Immunization myths — none of which are backed by sound scientific research, Dr. Kennally said — have made their mark on society by way of email, Internet sites and under-informed celebrities who “have the podium so they get heard.” The most prominent example of propagation of false information stems from a 1998 study by Andrew Wakefield, in which Wakefield intentionally misrepresented or altered the medical histories of all 12 patients whose cases formed the basis for his claim that a link exists between the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine and autism. Although that study was almost immediately disproven, the media effects created a long-lasting impression on many, some of whom still claim the link exists. “Even when their information is false — or has been intentionally falsified, as was the case with the autism study, which resulted in that physician having his medical license revoked — it is difficult to push back against that [perception],” Dr. Glynn said. In particular, this perception has led some parents to believe that administering multiple vaccines at one time risks overwhelming a child’s immune system, though there is no sound research to back up this claim. strong immunity among community members — a concept called “herd immunity.” “Otherwise, if immunization rates decline due to people opting not to vaccinate, we are likely to see the horrible diseases of bygone days return,” Sunderland said. An unfounded movement against immunizations has created several pockets of unvaccinated children and adults in the United States, allowing disease outbreaks to occur. “In 2014, the United States “We still see outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases, even in Northeast Kansas,” Longabaugh said, citing whooping cough as an example. According to Sunderland, Kansas has experienced both whooping cough (pertussis) and measles outbreaks within the last two years, and Kansas State University had two confirmed student cases of mumps earlier this year. In 2012, Nemaha County had confirmed whooping cough cases, Sunderland said. NCCHS monitors the percentage of children and adolescents who are being, or have ever been, vaccinated at a NCCHS office. Currently in Nemaha County, 89 percent of NCCHS patients between the ages of 12 and 35 months are up-to-date and have received a complete series of immunizations as recommended by the CDC for this age group. Only 77 percent of these children received their immunizations on time, Sunderland said, but she noted that this could be due to a variety of reasons. Some parents unintentionally do not get their child vaccinated by the recommended age, she said, as is the case with most of the late finishers. A few parents intentionally choose to wait until their child is older to receive certain immunizations or spread out the immunizations over a period of time. Some parents also refuse certain vaccinations for their child, Sunderland said. Get Vaccinated In Nemaha County, NCCHS provides childhood, adolescent, adult and travel immunizations. Sabetha Family Practice and Sabetha Community Hospital offer a limited number of vaccinations, including the seasonal flu vaccine. Cost should never be a barrier, Sunderland said. While NCCHS bills most insurance companies for vaccines, the Vaccines For Children (VFC) Program is available for any children birth through 18 years of age who are uninsured or have insurance that does not cover vaccinations. No children are denied immunizations due to the parent’s inability to pay, Sunderland said. Brown County residents are covered by the NEK Multi-County Health Department, with locations in Brown, Atchison and Jackson counties. The CDC recommended immunization schedules can be found online at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/ schedules. USD No. 113 Immunization Policies Prairie Hills USD No. 113 has two policies in place regarding immunizations, and Superintendent Todd Evans said the district plans to follow these policies very stringently in the future. “At this time, we are planning on not enrolling pre-K or kindergarten students who do not have their state-required immunizations,” Evans said. The district does not wish to exclude anyone from school, he said. “We have a process that we follow that includes multiple nurse contacts, multiple principal contacts and then multiple superintendent contacts,” he said. USD No. 113 policies state that all students enrolling must provide proof of immunization, and boosters, of certain diseases as mandated by the Kansas Secretary of the Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). Immunizations required by the State of Kansas include the following: Chickenpox (varicella), Hepatitis B, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Polio, Diphtheria, Tetanus and Whooping Cough (pertussis). More information is available online at http://www.kdheks.gov/immunize/ schoolInfo.htm. Additionally, USD No. 113 policy states that students who are not immunized against certain diseases may be excluded from school during outbreaks. Sources: USD No. 113, Kansas Department of Health and Environment “Some parents want to pick their own schedule and modify the standard schedule by spreading those immunizations out over a longer period of time,” Dr. Glynn said. “Instead of two shots in one day, they want to have one shot today and the other in two weeks.” But any changes to the standard immunization schedule cause immunization delays that compound over time, the doctors say, citing that the most dangerous age for most vaccine-preventable diseases is under the age of 5. According to Jane Sunderland, administrator for Nemaha County Community Health Services, the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule has been extensively researched for both safety and effectiveness by experts in the field of infectious diseases. “The goal of the childhood immunization schedule is to protect babies as soon as it is safe and effective to do so,” Sunderland said. “Alternative vaccination schedules delay shots and are risky for young children by leaving a child unprotected from devastating diseases at a time when the child is most vulnerable.” Those who are unvaccinated or under-vaccinated are as much a danger to others as they are to themselves, the doctors say. “You can then carry that disease in and pass it on to someone else whose immune system is less able to fight it, whether that is a child who has not yet obtained full immunity or a person whose immune system is compromised for other reasons,” Kennally said. Immunization Rates & Outbreaks Preventing and controlling the spread of disease is at the heart of public health work, Sunderland said. In order for vaccination to work, Sunderland said, it is critical that immunization rates remain high in communities, thus providing experienced a record number of measles cases, with 667 cases from 27 states reported to the CDC,” Sunderland said. “This is the greatest number of cases since measles elimination in the U.S. in 2000.” Outbreaks are not isolated to large cities, or the coasts, but can happen anywhere. “People in today’s society are very mobile. People in Sabetha and the surrounding communities are no exception,” Sunderland said. “It’s common for local individuals to travel to foreign countries to conduct business, serve on a mission trip, or to vacation.” “Additionally, Sabetha is in close proximity to cities and large universities,” Sunderland said. “Consequently, the potential of a vaccine-preventable disease being brought to Sabetha or a nearby community through international travel is real, and poses a health risk to unvaccinated or undervaccinated persons.” 7A HOW VACCINES WORK Immunity from Disease When disease germs enter your body, your immune system goes to work. It does three important things: 1. It recognizes the disease germs as not belonging in your body – as being “foreign invaders.” 2. It responds by producing proteins called antibodies, which help destroy these germs. Unfortunately, these antibodies can’t act quickly enough to stop you from getting sick. But by eliminating the germs, they help you get well. 3. It remembers the germs that made you sick, and if they ever try to infect you again – even after many years – your immune system will come to your defense again. But now they are able to stop the invading germs before they can make you sick. This is immunity. It is what keeps you from getting sick from diseases like measles or chickenpox a second time, no matter how often you are exposed to them. In other words, the first time you are exposed to a disease, your immune system won’t stop you from getting sick, but it will help you recover and make you immune to that disease if you are ever exposed to it again. Immunity from Vaccines With vaccination, killed or weakened disease germs are intentionally introduced into the body, usually by injection. Then your immune system goes to work, just as if you were exposed to a disease: 1. It recognizes the vaccine germs as not belonging in your body – as being “foreign invaders.” 2. It responds by producing antibodies, the same as if you had been exposed to the disease. But there is a difference. The germs in the vaccine are weakened or killed, so they won’t make you sick. 3. However, you will still develop immunity, just as if you had gotten sick from the actual disease. So if germs from that disease ever do try to infect you, your immune system will come to your defense and stop them from making you sick. In other words, getting a disease or getting a vaccine can both give you future protection from that disease. The difference is that with the disease you have to get sick to get that protection. With the vaccine you don’t.

The Lobos did just that and defeated the Independence Veterans in both games, bringing their record to 12-11. Game 1 In the first game, the Lobos kept the lead throughout the entire game to win 3-2. Leonardo Castro pitched the first five full innings and tallied six strikeouts; and after starting the sixth inning, Jose Tirado stepped in and pitched the final 1-1/2 innings. Tirado tallied two strikeouts during his run. Third-baseman Angel Martinez, left fielder David Maldonado and Jadiel Valle all batted in one RBI apiece. Game 2 During the second game, both teams stepped it up a notch and fought hard to win the final game. After the first five innings of play, the Lobos led 7-5. The Veterans did not score any runs in the sixth, while the Lobos tallied six runs to put them ahead. In the seventh inning, the Veterans only scored one run and could not pull ahead. The Lobos won 13-6. Albert Ordonez pitched the first four innings and racked up three strikeouts. Garrett Schaffer pitched 6.24.2016 Lobos, 3 – Topeka, 13 two innings and also tallied three strikeouts, and Tirado finished the game. During his four at-bats, Martinez hit one homerun and tallied five RBIs and Maldonado tallied three RBIs. The Lobos traveled to Independence, Mo., on Tuesday, June 28, to play the Veterans again in another doubleheader. The next home game for the Lobos will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 7, versus Junction City.

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