SCHOOL FUNDING
School officials, legislators weigh in on school funding ruling
AMBER DETERS
The Kansas Supreme Court
issued its ruling Friday, May 27,
in the Gannon v. State of Kansas
school finance case in almost-unheard-of time — one week to the
day after hearing oral arguments.
The Court said in its ruling that
the Legislature’s latest attempt to
fix inequities in school finance
continues those inequities to the
detriment of poor districts. The
Court, again, said the Legislature
had until June 30, the last day of
the fiscal year, to produce a constitutional finance plan, or on July
1 schools would be unable to operate.
Prairie Hills USD No. 113 Superintendent Todd Evans said that
while it is unfortunate that school
districts are involved in a lawsuit
against the state, he also believes
it is unfortunate that support for
districts has been reduced to the
point that school districts believe
there is a necessity in order to be
advocates for children.
Senator Dennis Pyle, R-Hiawatha, said the Kansas Supreme
Court set aside “months of hard
work by the duly-elected Kansas
Legislature” when the Court struck
down the Classroom Learning As-
suring Student Success (CLASS)
Act.
“It is the function of the legislature, and not unelected judges,
to appropriate funding for state

WESTAR ENERGY
Sale of Westar will not
halt reliability projects
Despite being sold to Great Plains Energy, Westar
Energy’s reliability improvement projects for the
area will continue as planned.
KRISTA WASINGER
At a ceremony at the Apostolic Christian Retirement Village on Sunday, June 5, U.S. Senator Jerry Moran presents World War II
Veteran Harry “Kit” Beatty with an American Flag and a personalized Prisoner of War medal for Beatty’s status as a Prisoner
of War in Germany during World War II, correcting an oversight of 70 years. Beatty’s official military records were lost in the
process of his capture, liberation and repatriation, and he never received his POW medal. Pictured are (L-R) his wife, Mary
Beatty, Harry “Kit” Beatty and U.S. Senator Jerry Moran.Tim Kellenberger | Herald
Westar Energy – the largest utility in Kansas – has been purchased
by Great Plains Energy, based out
of Kansas City, Mo. With this sale,
Westar customers in the Sabetha,
Bern and Oneida areas may be
wondering what this means for
their power reliability improvement projects.
A large number of unexplained
outages in the area over a two-year
timeframe prompted Westar to
further investigate the problems
and develop a plan for improving
the area’s reliability. The improvements include the construction of
a low voltage line from the Seneca
substation to Sabetha and the reconstruction of a low voltage line
from the Seneca substation to
Bern. Additionally, a new substation – the East Nemaha Substation – and high voltage line will be
constructed by March 2017.
Why the sale?
While Westar is the largest
utility in Kansas, it is a small to
mid-size energy company when
compared to peers.
“With slow growth in demand
for electricity and our costs to do
business increasing, the electric
industry has experienced a lot of
consolidation the past few years.
Our board and management team
decided the best viable path forward was to consider consolidating with another company,” said
Westar spokeswoman Gina Penzig.
“Through a competitive process,
the Great Plains Energy offer was
accepted by our board of directors. Great Plains has been serving
Kansans as long as we have, so it
made for a good fit.”
The consolidated company is expected to bring efficiencies with its

A lengthy discussion has resulted in decisions to reduce Sabetha
Elementary School kindergarten
sections from four to three, and to
combine the Wetmore Elementary
School fourth and fifth grades into
one classroom. Savings generated
by eliminating these two positions
could be as much as $77,648.
The Prairie Hills USD No. 113
Board of Education first discussed
the possibility of not filling all
four of the SES vacancies during
the April board meeting. At that
time, only two of four positions
were filled, and the board began
exploring the possibility of combined classrooms at Wetmore Elementary School.
“As we have in most recent years,
USD 113 has been exploring the
possibility to reduce staff,” Superintendent Todd Evans said. “We
endeavor to do this through attrition. Every position in our district
that becomes available is one that
is scrutinized to see if a reduction
is possible.”
The board discussed the possibility of combining classrooms at
WES again in May, and asked Superintendent Evans to research the
subject and discuss options with
former combination classroom
teachers, and current teachers and
administration.
At the board’s regular meeting
held Monday, June 6, Evans told
board members he had examined
research, interviewed teachers who
taught combined classes, and received input from teachers and

Births
Evelyn Lierz
Ryker Thomas Wasinger
Evelyn June Porter Lierz, 77, died Monday, June 6, 2016, in Holton.
She was born June 28, 1938, at home in Wetmore, the daughter of
Paul “Cobb” and Hazel George Porter. Evelyn attended Porter Grade
School and transferred to Wetmore Attendance Center in fifth grade.
She graduated from Wetmore High School in 1956.
Evelyn married Leonard A. Lierz on June 28, 1956, in Wetmore. He
preceded her in death on July 8, 2007, after 51 years of marriage. Born
to this union were three children, Linda “Susie” (Clifford) Beard of
Topeka, Vickie Ann (Mark) Pruett of Holton, and Michael Leonard
(Janice) Lierz of Manhattan. Evelyn and Leonard had nine grandsons:
Christopher and Andrew Beard; Matthew, Joseph, Billy, Benjamin
and Marcus Pruett; and Jason and Conner Lierz, as well as five greatgranddaughters and four great-grandsons.
Evelyn’s hobbies included cooking, canning and sewing. She sewed
for individuals, made costumes for musicals and made both of her
daughters’ wedding dresses. She worked for a short time at Trail’s Café
and Jostens but much preferred being a homemaker. She enjoyed the
outdoors, mowing, planting flowers and bird watching. Evelyn will
be sadly missed by her family and many others.
Mass of Christian Burial will be 10 a.m. Thursday, June 9, at St.
Dominic Catholic Church in Holton. Burial will follow in Wetmore
Cemetery. The Rosary will be recited 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 8,
at Mercer Funeral Home, with visitation to follow. Memorials are
suggested to Onaga Community Hospital and may be sent in care of
the funeral home.
Dale and Doris Snyder were united in marriage 65 years ago on
June 8, 1951.
Doris is the daughter of Ida and Bryan Roesch of Quinter, and Dale
is the son of Mildred and Floyd Snyder of Morrill. The couple met at
McPherson College, where Doris obtained an associate’s degree in
English and literature, and Dale graduated with a bachelor’s degree
in business.
They made their home two miles west of Morrill, where Doris pursued
her passion of homemaking, sewing and church work. Dale farmed
and raised cattle and sheep. They resided on their home place for 57
years until moving to the Apostolic Retirement Village in Sabetha in
2008. Dale continued trips to the farm raising livestock and overseeing
his crops. He continues trips today and brings back various garden
bounties to share with many of their village neighbors.
Two daughters made their union complete – Terri and her husband
Jim Giesel of Riverton, and Debbie and her husband Lynn Bott of
Lawrence. The couple also is blessed with four grandchildren and their
spouses – Jamie and Keith Holliman, Joshua and Crystal Giesel, Jason
Bott, and Mindy and Bryan Kastning; and nine great grandchildren

125 YEARS AGO
Friday, June 5, 1891
Fifth Annual Commencement of the Sabetha High School: The Grand
Army hall was filled to its utmost capacity and hundreds of people
were either standing or turned away, the crowd reaching out into the
street last Friday evening, all to witness the graduating of the high
school class of 1891. Last year additional studies were required and a
year added to the course, so it had been two years since the public had
enjoyed the pleasure of commencement festivities.

Thursday, June 8, 1916
Miss Zana Maxey, who was injured in the automobile accident near
Morrill Sunday is in a critical condition. She cannot move herself and
paralysis is feared. It is exceptionally sad as she is the only daughter.

Wednesday, June 4, 1941
Robert Benson received a letter from Capt. James Cavender at Camp
Robinson, Ark., the first of the week. Cavender reported Battery D had
the honor to fire the 21-gun salute on Memorial Day at Camp Robinson,
and the commanding general said it was the most perfectly-timed salute
he ever heard fired. Lt. Clyde Bloxsom of Battery D was responsible
for the perfect timing of the salute, Cavender reports.
The rain that amounted to about an inch at Sabetha and Seneca Monday
afternoon dropped over four inches of precipitation in a short time at
Goff, sending Spring creek out of its banks near Bancroft. The drainage ditch past Goff took care of the rushing waters near that town,
but at the end of the ditch two miles southeast the water spread out
over adjoining farm land. A bridge near Bancroft was washed out.
The bridge is on the line between Wetmore and Reilly townships, and
repair will probably be borne equally by Commissioner Emil Burky’s
and Commissioner Albert Foster’s districts.
Kenneth Ralston, about 10, son of Clyde (Si) Ralston was knocked
unconscious Monday afternoon by a bolt of lightning which struck the
corn crib in which he and his father had taken shelter from a shower
of rain. The two were seated in a light truck parked in the driveway of
the crib. When young Ralston stepped out of the truck to wipe the dust
from the windshield, he was knocked down and made unconscious by a
bolt of lightning that struck in one end of the crib. He was unconscious
for nearly two hours.
50 YEARS AGO
Tuesday, June 7, 1966
Effective June 1, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dornes have sold Sycamore
Springs resort to twin brothers Terry and Jerry Tietjens from Morrill.
Mr. and Mrs. Dornes have operated the skating and swimming resort
for the past 17 years. The Dorneses said they would stay and continue
to help the Tietjens brothers for most of the summer. Terry is the
music instructor for Morrill schools and Jerry is employed in Falls
City. The Dorneses recently purchased the former Norburt Pierson
home in Sabetha.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Shaefer have accepted the position of caretaker at
the Sabetha Golf Club. They will move into the clubhouse this week.
Mr. Shaefer has been driving a truck. The Shaefers have two children,
J.D., 14, and Jeri, 10.
Charles (Ed) Baskett, University of Kansas junior from Sabetha, has
been selected for the second year by the department of architecture to
fill a summer appointment as architectural draftsman with the Planning
and Building Program at the K.U. Medical Center in Kansas City. This
summer program was established in 1960 to provide experience and
employment for a qualified KU architectural student.
25 YEARS AGO
Steve Deiter has sold his law practice at 1007 Main to Martin Mishler,
son of Bill and Elaine Mishler of rural Sabetha. Deiter and his family
are moving to Wylie, Texas, where he will work as a city attorney while
attending seminary. Mishler and his family moved here in May from
Oklahoma, where he served as an attorney with the Army.
A purple finch family recently made its home on a wild grapevine
wreath on the front door of Joe and Tillie Menold’s home. “They didn’t
seem to mind our going in and out, and even tolerated two very active grandchildren for several days,” the Menolds report. “We did,
however, confine our pet cat after the eggs were hatched and we did
anchor the nest during a strong windstorm. Five fledglings have since
left their home.”

Shake It Off
Voter apathy, that is.
Much like a driver’s license is a right with responsibility attached,
so too is voting. Unfortunately, many of us don’t treat it as such.
Truth told, this is because we are much less likely to place value on
something we didn’t have to earn. And very few of us have actually
earned the “Right to Vote” in any way.
We didn’t have to complete a voter’s education class. We didn’t have
to study. We didn’t have to pass any tests. We didn’t have to provide
service to our country in defense of this “right.” All we had to do was
accumulate 18 birthdays.
I’m not suggesting that the United States enact a law requiring
people to pass a test to vote. What I am suggesting, however, is that
we should all look at every election through the eyes of those who
did earn it. We should take into consideration the enormous human
sacrifices of those who have given their lives — or the lives of their
loved ones — in pursuit of “liberty and justice for all.” Among those
liberties, our right to vote.
So please, evaluate the candidates. Start now. This is not a time
to fill in the circle based on who looks good, speaks well, or debates
strongly. With thorough evaluation, you should be able to choose the
candidate who would best represent you — your morals, your values,
your stance on issues.
Then, be ready to move forward with the collective winner. Maybe
you picked the winner, or maybe you didn’t. But at least you didn’t
waste your vote, because a vote is only wasted if it does not reflect
your heart and conscience.

Sericea lespedeza control in rangeland,
pasture and CRP
S
ericea lespedeza (Lespedeza
cuneata) will soon be in a
rapid vegetative growth
stage. Sericea lespedeza continues
to be a major concern on rangeland, pasture, and some CRP acres
in Kansas.
There are no known biological controls that can be effectively used on sericea lespedeza.
However, grazing with goats can
suppress sericea lespedeza stands
and produce a saleable product. It
takes four to five goats per acre (of
sericea) to graze the plant heavily
enough to eliminate seed production. Sheep will also graze sericea.
Frequent mowing will damage sericea lespedeza, but is also
damaging to plants that might be
growing/competing with sericea.
A single mowing in mid- to lateJuly will eventually reduce stands
of sericea lespedeza to some extent, but several years of mowing
have not eliminated sericea in
Kansas State University work. A
late-summer mowing will eliminate seed production most years.
Integration of mowing and
herbicides can
reduce stands On the
of sericea lespedeza. Wait about Extension

applied at the
correct time and under favorable environmental conditions
can significantly reduce sericea
lespedeza.
Remedy Ultra (triclopyr) and
PastureGard HL (triclopyr +
fluroxypyr) can provide effective control when applied during
June and into early July when the
sericea plants are in a vegetative
growth stage. Broadcast applications of Remedy Ultra at one to
1.5 pints per acre and PastureGard
HL at 0.75 to 1.5 pints per acre
should be applied in spray volumes of 10 to 20 gallons per acre.
Do not apply Remedy Ultra
and PastureGard
HL on CRP land
until the grasses
are established.
These herbicides
are likely to
damage broadleaf plants that
have been planted in CRP.
Products containing metsulfuron, such as Escort XP, Cimarron
Plus, and Chaparral are generally
more effective in the late summer
when sericea lespedeza is actively
blooming. Recommended rates
are 0.5 ounces per acre of Escort
XP, 0.625 ounces per acre Cimarron Plus, and 2.5 to three ounces
per acre Chaparral. Use a nonionic surfactant with all of these
products.
For spot application, mix 0.5 fl
ounces PastureGard HL per gal-
lon of water, use a one percent solution of Remedy Ultra in water,
or 0.3 grams Escort XP per gallon
of water.
Aerial applications of these
products should be done with a
minimum spray volume of three
gallons per acre. Higher volumes,
e.g. five gallons per acre, will generally be more effective.
Herbicide treatments will need
to be repeated every two to four
years to keep this invasive species
in check. Initial treatments should
reduce dense stands to the point
where spot treatment can be used
in future years.
Sericea lespedeza is a statewide
noxious weed in Kansas and
therefore needs to be controlled.
It has a tremendous seed bank
that helps reestablish stands. Left
untreated, sericea lespedeza will
dominate a site, greatly reducing
forage production and species diversity. Persistence is needed to
manage this species.

Concerns about raw milk, norovirus
W
ith June being Dairy
Month, here is question I get from time
to time concerning raw milk. Since
the 1920s, milk has been pasteurized
to kill disease-causing bacteria. But
many consumers choose to consume
raw milk.
Illnesses from raw milk are 2.2
times higher in states that legally
sell raw milk. In Kansas, it is legal
to sell raw milk directly from the
farm.
From 2007 to 2012, outbreaks
had increased nationwide.
• 81 outbreaks resulted in 979
illness, 73 hospitalizations, no
deaths.
• Most infections were from
cattle that appeared healthy.

many cases, the Soils

useful tool that EXTENSION
can be especially DISTRICT
helpful as we fine
tune our nutrient management
system is plant analysis. This is
typically done from two different angles.
Diagnostic sampling can be
done at any time and is particularly valuable early in the season
when corrective measures can be
taken to “fix” problems. The key:
collecting representative samples
from both normal and problem
areas of the field for comparison
purposes.
If plants are less than a foot tall,
submit the whole plant cut off at
ground level. For taller plants and
up until reproductive growth begins, collect the top, fully developed leaves. A soil sample from
normal and problem areas can be
help as well.
For general monitoring or quality control purposes (or for diagnostic sampling of plants in the
reproductive stage), plant leaves
should be collected as the plant
enters reproductive growth. Collect 15 to 20 ear leaves (the first
leaf below and opposite the ear).
The leaves should be randomly
collected at silk emergence, before pollination, and before the
silks turn brown. Avoid sampling
under stress conditions (drought,
etc.) to reduce the potential for
misleading results.
Allow the collected leaves to
wilt overnight
(to remove excess moisture),
then place in
a paper bag or
mailing envelope
to ship to the lab.
Avoid the use of
plastic bags or
tightly sealed
containers that
induce rot and decomposition
during transport. Label clearly.
What nutrients should you be
testing for? We’ll discuss that
more next week!
Mulching tomatoes
With daily high temperatures
now more often in the 80s than
not, it’s time to mulch tomatoes!
Because tomatoes prefer even
soil moisture levels, mulch is a
must for preventing excessive
evaporation, plus the side benefits
of weed suppression, moderating
soil temperatures and preventing
soil crusting (crusted soils restrict
air movement and slow water infiltration).
Hay, straw, and grass mulches
are very popular, but have to be
used with care. Avoid hay/straw
mulches with lots of weed or volunteer grain seeds or you may be
creating a larger weed issue than
you are providing suppression.
When using grass clippings, apply in thin, dry layers two to three
inches thick. Wet clippings can
mold and become hard, limiting
water infiltration. Grass clippings
from lawns treated with a weed
killer should also be avoided to
prevent herbicide damage.

SABETHA LAKE SHOOTING
Bern man identified
as shooting victim
HEATHER STEWART
The victim in a Memorial Day
weekend shooting at Old Sabetha Lake has been identified
by Sabetha Police Chief Robert
Wahwasuck as 40-year-old Thad
Lambrecht of Bern.
At approximately 12:47 a.m.
on Sunday, May 29, the Sabetha
Police Department responded to
a report that an individual had
been shot at the Old Sabetha
Lake.
Witnesses physically detained
the suspect — Anthony Leftwich,
59, of Dawson, Neb. — until officers arrived. According to witnesses, Leftwich was armed with
a handgun at the time, and the
handgun was recovered at the
scene.
Leftwich was taken into custody and booked into the Nemaha County Jail on the charge of
aggravated battery. He remains
in the Nemaha County Jail on a
$750,000 bond and his preliminary hearing has been scheduled
for 1 p.m. Monday, June 13.
Lambrecht was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries,
then transported on to the University of Kansas Medical Center
in Kansas City, where he remains
in serious condition. Wahwasuck
said the two were acquaintances
and were involved in an argument, which led to the shooting.

SABETHA PLANNING COMMISSION
Comprehensive Plan is finalized for public hearing
HEATHER STEWART
The Sabetha Planning Commission met at 7 p.m. Thursday, June
2. Planning Commission members
present were Chairman Ed Steinlage, Vern Orton, John Rebant and
Jerry Johnson. Also present for
the meeting were Daniel Tramp,
Assistant City Administrator Bill
Shroyer and City Administrator
Doug Allen.
Jerry Johnson replaces Jeff Walter on the planning commission.
Members reviewed the final version of the Comprehensive Plan
milking machines.
In addition, a world-class milk
powder production facility is currently being constructed in the
state.
“Kansas dairy farmers are an
important part of the economic
growth of the agriculture industry,” said Jackie McClaskey, Kansas
Secretary of Agriculture. “Their
success is a reflection of their hard
work and commitment to improving the industry through innovations in dairy farming and milk
processing.”
The Kansas Department of Agriculture’s dairy program is committed to serving the dairy farmers
in our state by supplying resources
to help their farms and processing
operations grow and thrive.
The dairy inspection team helps
them stay on the forefront of the
dairy industry by providing information and education and by
advocating for the dairy industry
both locally and nationally.
Community Services and
Facilities
It was noted that the portion
regarding Other Community Services and Facilities listed the plans
for the construction of a 26,000
square foot addition onto Sabetha
Community Hospital. They decided to change it to say the, “The
final construction consisted of…”
Next Steps
Allen will send the final changes
to Dave Yearout with Yearout Associates, and a public hearing with
the updated document will be held
at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 7.

June is Kansas Dairy Month
Submitted by Heather Lansdowne
Kansas is one of the fastest
growing dairy regions in the United States, and the Kansas Department of Agriculture is pleased to
celebrate our hard-working dairy
farmers during the month of June
as the Governor has proclaimed it
Kansas Dairy Month.
The Kansas dairy and milk production industry grew in 2015,
with 143,000 dairy cows producing 3.1 billion pounds of milk valued at $537 million, and behind
those numbers are more than 300
family-run dairy farms.
The growth of the dairy industry in Kansas means economic
gains for local communities and
the state, and more safe and nutritious dairy products for families
in Kansas and across the region.
Kansas dairies are becoming
more progressive, as dairy farmers are making investments to
enhance the milk processing industry in the state, and adding new
advanced technologies like robotic
Atchison and Baileyville.
Economic Development
Planning Commission members
decided the wording for the Planning Implications Recommendations needs reviewed and changed
so it is not as strongly worded.
Goals for Transportation
Planning Commission members
discussed the sidewalks along Oregon Street and how narrow they
are. It was decided that improvements for sidewalks – especially
on Oregon Street – needed to be
added under goals or recommendations.

has issued a boil water advisory for
the City of Netawaka public water
supply located in Jackson County.
KDHE officials issued the advisory because of a line repair project resulting in repeated losses of
pressure.
Failure to maintain adequate
pressure may result in a loss of
chlorine residuals and bacterial
contamination. The advisory will
remain in effect for the duration
of the line repair project, approximately two to three months.
This advisory took effect on May
19 and will remain in effect until
conditions which place the system at risk of contamination are
deemed by KDHE officials to be
adequately resolved.
Customers should observe the
following precautions until further
notice:
Boil water for one minute prior

RIVER WRAPS
Leadership
team to meet
Submitted by Kerry Wedel
The Delaware River Watershed
Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) Program will host
a Stakeholder Leadership Team
meeting from 9 a.m. until noon
Wednesday, June 22, at the Glacial Hills RC&D office in Wetmore.
This meeting is free and open to
the public.
The Delaware WRAPS Stakeholder Leadership Team meets
every six to eight weeks to discuss
water quality challenges and opportunities in the Delaware River
watershed and to allocate costshare funds to assist landowners
in implementing best management
practices on agricultural land that
improve water quality.
For more information, contact
Kerry Wedel, Delaware River

Dispose of ice cubes and do not
use ice from a household automatic icemaker.
Disinfect dishes and other food
contact surfaces by immersion for
at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of
unscented household bleach per
gallon of water.
Water used for bathing does
not generally need to be boiled.
Supervision of children is necessary while bathing so that water is
not ingested. Persons with cuts or
severe rashes may wish to consult
their physicians.
If your tap water appears dirty,
flush the water lines by letting the
water run until it clears.
Public water suppliers in Kansas take all measures necessary
to notify customers quickly after
a system failure. Regardless of
whether it’s the supplier or KDHE
that announces a boil water advisory, KDHE will issue the rescind
order following testing at a certified laboratory.
HERALD REPORT
The Kansas Department of
Health and Environment (KDHE)
has issued a warning status for high
levels of toxic blue-green algae at
the following bodies of water: Hiawatha City Lake in Brown County,
Marion Reservoir in Marion County and Plainville Townships Lake in
Rooks County.
KDHE samples publicly accessible bodies of water for blue-green
algae when the agency receives reports of potential algae blooms in
Kansas lakes. Based on sampling
results, KDHE reports on potentially harmful conditions.
Lakes under a warning are not
closed. Marinas, lakeside businesses and park camping facilities are open for business. If swim
beaches are closed, it will be specifically noted. Drinking water and
showers at parks are safe and not
affected by algae blooms. Boating
and fishing are safe on lakes under a
Warning, but contact with the water
should be avoided. It is safe to eat
fish caught during a harmful bluegreen algae outbreak, as long as the
fish is rinsed with clean water; only
the fillet portion is consumed and
all other parts are discarded. Hands
should also be washed with clean
water after handling fish taken from
an affected lake.
Kansans should be aware that
blooms are unpredictable. They
can develop rapidly and may float
around the lake, requiring visitors
to exercise their best judgment. If
there is scum, a paint-like surface
or the water is bright green, avoid
contact and keep pets away. These
are indications that a harmful
bloom may be present. Pet owners
should be aware that animals that
swim in or drink water affected by
a harmful algal bloom or eat dried
algae along the shore may become
seriously ill or die.

Distinguished Alumni Award Winners
Sue Zimmerschied Robinson
Sue Zimmerschied Robinson should be selected as
the 2016 Morrill High School Distinguished Graduate. Ever since graduation with the class of 1962, Sue
has worked to improve her skills as an administrative specialist, as an active church member, and as
a mother.
First, in 1963, Sue graduated from the Clark
School of Business in Topeka. She then went to
work for the Kansas Department of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars (VFW) as the secretary to the State
Adjutant-Quartermaster. After four years at that
job, she transferred to the First Baptist Church in
Topeka. There she served as the secretary to the
Pastor, as well as the financial secretary and editor
of the weekly newsletter. After six years at that job,
Sue and her family moved to Manhattan.
In Manhattan, while Sue’s three boys were small,
she left the workforce to care for her family. Sue then
went back to work at the Pawnee Mental Health Association at their secretary/receptionist. After a short
time there, sue moved up to the Wharton Manor
Nursing Home, becoming their prize receptionist/
office clerk for five years.
In 1994, Sue again moved up, this time to Kansas
State University, where she remains today. While
there, Sue has worked as an administrative specialist in the Cooperative Extension Director’s office.
Sue’s attitude and performance have prompted her
nomination and receipt of a Classified Employee of
the Year Award. A quote from one nominator is, “It
is her unfailing commitment to her work responsibilities and her cheerful willingness to help others
that make her a truly outstanding gem among the
Extension Administrative team.”
Not only has Sue succeeded at her K-State position, she has also maintained a second job for the
past 21 years. She works for CB Announcements,
where she supervises college students who print
graduation announcements for schools, most of
which are universities.
Probably the additional two parts of Sue’s life,
of which she is proudest, are 1) her church, and 2)
her family. She has been active member of the First
Baptist Church in Manhattan for nearly 40 years.
She has served on the Social Committee (we can
understand that) and volunteered in the nursery,
including working there on the day her youngest
Sue Zimmerschied Robinson and Larry Steiner were presented with the Distinguished Alumni
Award at the Morrill Alumni Banquet on Sunday, May 29.
son was born.
And finally, and most importantly, Sue raised three
sons, all who graduated from K-State. According to
one son, “She allowed all of her children to follow
their dreams, supporting them in so many endeavors.” In addition to her children and daughters-inlaw, Sue is the grandma of two granddaughters and
one grandson.
Given all of the above, it is easy to see the Sue
qualifies for the 2016 Morrill High School Distin-
guished Graduate Award.
Larry Steiner
Larry L. Steiner born in Sabetha and lived in Morrill and attended the Morrill schools from 1947-1959
and currently lives in Lenexa.
Larry grew up as a farm boy just outside of Morrill.
While in school, he participated in sports, and was
in the Morrill Tip-Top 4-H Club showing livestock
at the local fairs and served as the club president of
the Brown County 4-H Council.
Following high school, Larry went to Clark’s Business School in Topeka, graduating in 1960. Immediately thereafter, he started to work for General
Motors in their computer department in Kansas
City, Kan. After one year of work and going to IBM
school in Kansas City, Mo., Larry started college
while working full time for General Motors. Four
and a half years later, Larry graduated from Kansas
University in Lawrence. Larry continued in the computer business for a total of 14 years, being a partial
owner of a computer service company in Kansas
City. During this time, Larry was active with his
sons in Cub Scouts and 3&2 baseball. He also spent
eight years umpiring softball and 3&2 baseball, plus
15 years officiating high school football, and high
school and college basketball.
Following the sale of the computer business in
1974, Larry entered the Securities and Insurance
business with the Estate and Business planning
division of Connecticut General Life Insurance
Company. He became a full time representative and
producer in 1974. Two business certifications of
Chartered Life Underwriter and Chartered Financial
Consultant were earned from the American College
in Byrn Mawr, Penn., during the next eight years.
Larry was president of the Society of Financial Service Professionals of Greater Kansas City as well as a
board member for 12 years. Larry spent 40 years with
Connecticut General, later renamed Cigna Financial
Advisors and eventually became a part of Lincoln
Financial Advisors in 1998. (He never changed jobs
after 1974). After working a total of 54 years, Larry
finally retired in December 2013.
Larry is married to his wife, Linda. They have six
children (one set of twins), 19 grandchildren (two
sets of twins) and eight great-grandchildren. None
of the above work history would have been possible
without the wonderful family support.
Larry and Linda go south for a month each winter
to try and avoid some of the cold. Larry enjoys golfing, watching baseball, football, and basketball. He
is an active member of his Church having served in
various capacities. He is also active in his Homeowners Association having served as treasurer.
Larry’s advice to most is “stay active and it will
keep you young.”

A LONG TWENTY DAYS
Pfc Harry Beatty Jr. was POW of Germans in World War II
Private First Class Harry C. Beatty Jr. was an
18-year-old infantryman when he was captured
by German Army forces less than a month before
VE Day during World War II.
PATTY LOCHER | CONTRIBUTOR
K i t B e a t t y ’s c o m p a s s ,
German phrase book and New
Testament. He was allowed to
keep these items while a POW
of the Germans.
Patty Locher | Contributor
Our company was on the south
edge of the town.
“Just as dawn broke we were attacked and overrun from several
directions by tanks and supported
by infantry. They stopped just outside the effective range of the bazooka and fired at us. Our artillery
from across the river helped keep
the tanks off us for a while.
“Soon seven or eight of our
squad found ourselves cut off from
the company. We could see that
other members of our battalion
were also trapped and saw one shot
down while surrendering. We took
cover in a long fire trench with
woods at our back and the river
beyond the woods, but rifle fire
was useless at this point.
“A tank and an SP [author’s
note: presumed to be an armored
vehicle, possibly a Panzer tank]
turned in our direction. The tank
broke off to the right, but the SP
came in laying down machine gun
fire but then stopped. The hatch
opened, a head popped out yelling something like ‘ôcommen zie
roust you SOBs.’ [“Come on out,
you SOBs.”]
“Our bazooka man, Mike, asked
if anyone wanted to surrender. No
one did (or would admit to it) and
he turned and yelled, ‘go bleep
bleep kraut’ and fired a bazooka
round and missed, then it seemed
that all hell broke loose.
“The SP fired a round that went
over our heads – we felt the heat
from it. Someone said ‘let’s get out
of here and go for the river.’ We
scrambled out, and a buddy and I
were together and made it to the
woods, how I’ll never know. They
continued firing into the woods,
but none of the German infantrymen followed.
“Once we got to the river, the
question was how to get across, the
current looked awful swift. This
was in the afternoon of the 14th….
We were at an unused boat dock
and having no apparent options,
we decided to swim across.”
Harry is Captured
On April 14, 1945, Harry and
several others in his unit were captured by German Army troops at
Schönebeck, upstream (south)
from Magdeburg on the Elbe River.
“Hände hoch!” (“Hands up!”),
their captors exclaimed.
Harry had in his possession a
tiny knife, a “Restricted” German
phrase book, a compass, and a
New Testament, all of which, inexplicably, his captors let him keep.
Harry still possesses these items.
“March, march, march,” Harry
remembers, remarking that his
group of 105 POWs was on the
move longer than they were held in
any one location. He recalls walking on the Autobahn and traveling
in a boxcar train for a couple of
hours, “spiraling around” for 15
days as their captors tried to avoid
Allied troops.
“Losch, losch, losch,” Harry
remembers their captors yelling
frequently, in order to keep the
POWs moving.
[Author’s note: According to a
bilingual friend whose native language is German, “In this case of a
prisoner, ‘los, los, los,’ when used
by a superior military person, is
unfriendly and means ‘hurry up,
go on, go forward, carry on, keepBrothers Duke, left, and Kit Beatty served in uniform at the same ing moving, do not go so slowly,’ or
time. Submitted similar. It can be kind of an order

and Tuxedo Rental
CURRENT REGISTRIES
or command.”]
At Jüterbog, about 60 miles east
of where he was captured, Harry
threw his helmet away.
“It was heavy and I didn’t need
it anymore,” he said.
Harry remembers peeling potatoes that the POWs and their German captors stole from fields. They
also stole eggs from farms, he said.
On April 29, 1945, they reached
the prison camp at Laukau, Germany, about 30 miles east of Jüterbog and about 30 miles south of
Berlin. [Author’s note: this prison
camp may have been Luckau,
which is in the same vicinity.]
To keep the fire going to cook
their food, the POWs invented and
built a pulley apparatus from items
they found in the camp. The apparatus had a blower (similar to a
bellows) that was operated by a big
wheel connected to a small wheel
on a wagon or velocipede, similar
to a three-wheel children’s vehicle
later sold as a “tricycle” after it
gained in popularity, Harry said.
“In the camp, we POWs were
given foot inspections, to make
sure we were fit to march,” Harry
said. “These were performed by
a German doctor, assisted by an
American medic who was parachuted in by the Allies on May
2, because the Allies knew they
would make it to the camp by
May 3 and had heard somehow
about the Nazis’ orders to shoot
the prisoners.”
“The doctor and medic performed these inspections very
slowly, to keep the Germans from
marching us out and shooting us
like Hitler had ordered!” he said.
Harry said the POWs were
treated fairly well, but they didn’t
get much food. But, he added, their
captors didn’t get much food either, as food was scarce in Germany after more than six years
of waging war. The POWs were
given “sawdust bread” that contained more sawdust than edible
ingredients, to fill their stomachs
while marching. Since the German
troops didn’t have much food even
for themselves, it is likely that they
also ate this sawdust bread.
The POWs were in camp for
only five days before being liberated.

On Thursday, May 3, 20 days
after their capture and just five
days before Victory in Europe
Day (Tuesday, May 8, 1945), Harry
and his fellow POWs were freed
by American troops. They were
trucked to Hildesheim and then
flown to Nancy, France, on a C-47
aircraft. After the processing that
was common for liberated POWs
to get them cleaned up and deloused, they were trucked to LeHavre, France, from which they
departed on a flat-bottom Liberty
Ship on June 1.
The ship arrived in New York on
June 12, just one week after Harry
turned 19 years of age. From New
York, Harry went to the separation center for processing at Fort
George G. Meade, Md. There he
was given 68 days of temporary

Harry, who now goes by “Kit,”
was born June 5, 1926, in Philadelphia, Pa., and was raised there. He
has one brother, Charles (“Duke”),
who is three and a half years older. Duke served in the Army Air
Corps Band during World War II
but did not deploy overseas.
After Harry’s discharge from the
Army, he returned to Philadelphia,
where he attended college classes
in night school at a high school facility. There he studied mechanical
engineering for two years.
He then received a letter from a
friend who had gone to Texas, advising Kit to “come down to Houston,” because there were plenty of
daytime openings in college there.
Kit spent close to two years at the
University of Houston, almost
achieving a college degree.
Then circumstances took him to
Wichita, where he worked at Boeing for some time before going to
a small die shop in Wichita, where
they made tool dies for aircraft.
He later designed assembly tools
for Boeing.
Eventually, in about the early
1960s, Harry moved to Topeka
for a job at a temperature control company. In Topeka, he later
worked for Seymour Foods, where
he designed and improved egghandling equipment. After that,
he worked at Essex Wire, where
he maintained the manufacturing equipment. He then went to
work in a dog food plant, where
he worked on machines and in
maintenance.
While living in Topeka, he met
Mary Mason Anschutz. Kit and
Mary, both previously married,
were married in 1972. Kit eventually became self-employed, repairing appliances, residential plumbing, and doing electrical work, for
25 years.
Mary is a sister to Lois Hartter and Sharon Grimm, both of
Sabetha, and on Sept. 29, 2014,
Mary and Kit moved to the Apostolic Christian North Village in
Sabetha. Just a few months later,
due to health issues, Kit moved to
the Apostolic Christian Nursing
Home.
Kit has enjoyed several skills
and hobbies in his life, including
hand balancing and fencing in
his earlier years; chess, which was
one of his favorites; and playing
piano – mostly “light jazz” – for
many years.
“He had a really nice touch,”
Mary said of his piano playing.
“And he knew lots of songs by
heart. He has tried over the last
few years to take it up again but
says his head and hands just don’t
connect anymore. Makes me sad
because I loved to hear him play.”
A few years ago, Kit had the
pleasure of participating in an
Honor Flight to visit the World
War II Memorial and other memorials in Washington, D.C. He
said he enjoyed it very much, and
it is one of his best memories.
Kit has two children, four
grandchildren and five great
grandchildren.

duty/leave, which he spent at his
paternal Aunt Madeline’s home in
Willow Grove, Pa.
While at Willow Grove, Harry
went to an amusement park with
an Army buddy with whom he had
gone through basic training but
found no noteworthy excitement
there.
“Riding the roller coaster was
no big thrill after being shot at,”
Harry said.
Awaiting Discharge
From Fort Meade, Harry was
sent to a “fancy hotel” in Atlantic
City, N.J. The War Department had
lost his records, so for three or four
days, he took tests and was interviewed to establish a new military
record. During this time, he was
able to spend his afternoons at the
beach.
Harry was then sent to Hampton Roads, Va., and was trucked
to Camp Henry, Va., where he
worked in payroll in the Finance
Division for about four months.
Everyone was paid in cash, he said,
and he helped figure the amounts
due to individuals.
While at Camp Henry, Harry
applied for Leave of Absence to
go home for Christmas. Thinking
his leave was arranged, he went
home to Philadelphia, but after two
days there, he received a telegram
from a buddy at camp telling him
to return to Camp Henry because
the paperwork for his leave was
fouled up. So he didn’t get to be
home for Christmas, and he was
threatened with court martial. He
served company punishment and
had to stay on base for two weeks.
Harry later was transferred to
the Special Services Department at
Camp Henry, where he performed
messenger work using different vehicles. He then was assigned to the
camp theater, where he issued tickets and did some movie projection.
Decorated and Discharged
After serving a total of five
months and five days of foreign
(overseas) service, and one year,
three months and 16 days of continental service, Harry was honorably discharged at Fort Meade,
Md., with the rank of private first
class on May 8, 1946, three weeks
before his 20th birthday.
Harry earned the Combat Infantryman Badge, Expert Carbine,
Expert BAR, and Sharp Shooter
M1 Rifle. He was awarded the
Good Conduct Medal, Distinguished Unit Badge, American
Theater Ribbon, European-African-Middle Eastern Theater Ribbon and the World War II Victory
Ribbon.
Because of his lost records, his
time as a prisoner of war is not reflected on his official separation
paper, and he was not awarded
a Prisoner of War Medal at the
time. However, this omission was
corrected this past Sunday, June
5, when U.S. Senator Jerry Moran presented Harry with a POW
Medal and a U.S. Flag at a ceremony at the Apostolic Christian
North Village in Sabetha.

“From the perspective of the infantrymen involved, the Elbe River
crossing was an operation that
started in confusion and ended in
confusion,” Ariano wrote.” Everything that could go wrong did go
wrong.…We had left Liebenberg,
Germany, on the morning of April
11 and literally barreled 60 miles
[east] through the German lines
to the Elbe River on the outskirts
of Schönebeck.
“The next morning we were
clearing out resistance there
when the company was abruptly
withdrawn to Bad Salzemen. The
word was we were stopping at the
Elbe and the Russians would be
allowed to take Berlin. However,
late that afternoon, the battalion
was alerted for an assault on the
east bank….
“Finally our artillery began firing, and after an hour-long barrage, the 1st Battalion crossed in
assault boats and our battalion followed. No provision was made to
get armor or supplies across with
us. The bridgehead itself was made
with practically no contact with
enemy….
“A pontoon bridge was started
by the 17th Armored Engineer
Battalion in the early morning to
get our tanks and supplies across.
Meantime we were expanding
the bridgehead. However, German artillery was destroying the
pontoon bridge as soon as progress was made in constructing it.
Our battalion reached the town
of Randau [on the west bank of
the Elbe], then had to fall back because the 1st Battalion had been
attacked by tanks and infantry and,
not having armor for support, had
to pull back.
“That night (April 13) at about
2100 hours [9 p.m.], we had to
abandon the bridgehead since
the bridge couldn’t be completed,
and it became obvious armor and
supplies could not be ferried across
the river to support us, and our
position had become vulnerable.
We were ordered to move south to
the Grunewald and Elbenau area
where the 119th Infantry was operating.
“At this point we had been
in constant operation since the
11th. We all were exhausted, and
some men so bad off that when we
stopped for a break, it took pleading to get them moving again. As
we neared Elbenau before dawn,
we saw that part of the town was
ablaze and we had troops trapped
there. It turned out these were elements of the 119th Infantry that
we were supposed to link up with.

Harry “Kit” Beatty, now a resident of the Apostolic Christian
Home in Sabetha, has a unique
story to tell that few, if any, would
envy. Only 17 years old when he
enlisted in the U.S. Army, he experienced the life of a Prisoner of
War (POW) in Germany, liberation from the POW camp, repatriation to the U.S. Army, and an
honorable discharge, all before he
turned 20.
At the age of 17, Harry C. Beatty Jr. of North Philadelphia, Pa.,
enlisted in the Army on April 21,
1944. He did not enter active duty
until Aug. 15, 1944, when, after
attending one semester of college
at Virginia Military Institute, he
reported for basic training at Fort
Wheeler, Ga.
On Jan. 8, 1945, he departed for
Europe from New York Harbor on
Ile De France, a luxury liner converted to a troop ship, and on Jan.
19 arrived at Firth of Forth near
Edinburgh, Scotland.
Harry and company traveled by
train to the east coast of England,
then went via an LST (Landing
Ship Tank) with a flat bottom
across the English Channel to LeHavre, France, to the Replacement
Depot.
Assigned to Company G, 41st
Armored Infantry Regiment
(AIR), 2nd Armored Division, he
traveled by train or truck to Verviers, Belgium, and from there by
truck to Vaals, Holland. For about
two days, he and others in his unit
traveled back and forth between
Vaals, and Aachen, Germany, putting bricks in holes in the roads to
make them passable.
His unit then moved east
through Aachen deeper into
Germany, where they fought in
the daytime and traveled at night,
sometimes walking through
muddy fields. Harry remembers
a few of the geographical locations
through which they passed, such
as Hildesheim (town) and Teutoburger Vald (forest area).
Military Life Overseas
While proceeding initially
through newly liberated areas of
Germany, Harry wrote in a March
26, 1945, V-mail to his aunt in
Pennsylvania, “….I thought you
might be interested in knowing
about the Army’s ‘Non-Fraternization’ plan….for even talking to
a german [sic], male or female, you
can be fined 65 bucks…. We just
have to look at the girls and sigh.
At least we can look at them…”

Ford.
Superintendent Todd Evans said
an expense comparison was not
ready for this month.
The board heard public comment on potential reduction of
district staff through attrition.
Following public comment, the
board entered into executive session to discuss non-elected personnel for the purpose of discussing contracts.
Following executive session,
the board discussed the possible
staff reductions through attrition.
The board voted 5-1 to reduce the
number of kindergarten sections
at Sabetha Elementary School
from four to three. Lippert was
opposed. The board also voted to
combine fourth and fifth grades at
Wetmore Elementary School into
one classroom — with a maximum
number of students set at 18 —
for the 2016-17 school year. If the
number exceeds 18, the grades
will not be combined. See more
details beginning on Page 1A of
this week’s Herald.
Old Business
Lippert presented a legislative
update. She said the state’s June
1 revenues were down from estimates. It is estimated that the state
will be a negative ending balance,
Lippert said, per the most recent
revenues. The Governor has until
June 30 to pare down expenses by
$55 million, she said.
“There’s not shortage of fiscal
concern at the state level,” Lippert
said.
Evans presented the board with
information regarding the Gannon
equity decision by the Kansas Supreme Court. For more information on this decision, see a story
beginning of Page 1A of this week’s
Herald.
Evans told the board that the
Kansas State Department of Education is waiting for clarification
from the Court of what a “shutdown” could entail. It is the hope
by school officials that “critical
personnel” would be allowed to
continue working, and bills could
continue to be paid.
He told the board that it is important to think about the ramifications of a shutdown, and to pay
attention to the news.
Lippert said there is question
regarding whether the Court has
the authority to shutdown schools,
based on a law passed during Governor Kathleen Sebelius’ tenure.
Next, the board discussed early
payment of the district’s lease purchase. The lease purchase originally was entered into in November
2009 at a rate of 3.970 percent with
a principal balance of $857,759.
Since that time, the district has
been making annual payments of
approximately $75,000 to $80,000.
The rate increased to 4.97 percent
in 2015 and is expected to increase
again in 2019. According to Saylor,
the district would save between
$112,000 and $120,000 by paying
it off early.
Evans said, following last
month’s meeting, he asked Dale
Dennis if the district could use
contingency funds to pay the balance, and he said it could. Evans
said he suggests the district pay the
lease purchase on June 15.
The board approved early payment of the lease purchase in the
amount of $594,375.02, splitting
the payment equally between contingency and capital outlay. This
figure includes the payment due
in June.
Next, the board revisited the
request for repair of the Wetmore
Academic Center’s gymnasium
ceiling insulation. Two bids were
presented, from AHRS for $74,772
and multiple options from F and
L Construction ranging from
$42,300 to $55,000 plus removal
at $55 per hour.
Kuckelman said he spoke to
someone who does spray-on insulation and fireproofing, and he
said it did not seem like the bids
were out of line. He said the insulation does need to be scraped and
cleaned before putting on new.
Lippert said she does not believe
this is a necessity and does not impede education.
“There are a lot of unknowns in
our future,” Lippert said. “Doing
something because it would look
better is a nice thing, but it is not
a necessity.”
Lippert said she paid special attention to the ceiling during the
graduation ceremony, and it was
“just fine.”
Reznicek said he believes it is
probably too late to make a decision and get it done in time for
school activities this year, and the
item should be reconsidered next
year.
Kuckelman asked if there are
any safety concerns. Boden said
it is not hard, but it does fall down
“all the time.”
The board took no action on
this item.
Next, Saylor provided the board
with a report on capital outlay
funds, including what the district
began with in the 2015-16 school
year and what it will begin with
in the 2016-17 school year. Saylor
said the district still has a lot of
flexibility with the capital outlay
fund.
Next, the board considered a bid
for repair of the SES roof. Evans
said the district got specifications
on the roof and had two contractors give bids based on the specs.
The low bid of $55,733 is from
Meridian Roofing Solutions, for
replacement of 11,279 square foot
of roof with TPO. The board accepted the bid from Meridian.
The board discussed replacement of the SES HVAC system.
The proposed solution is to replace the 22-ton rooftop unit with
a single zone, 7.5-ton rooftop unit
and three separate mini-split systems for the three south larger
classrooms. This provides a total
of four units with four thermostats.
Evans said he was told by the
mechanical engineer that this
seems like the cheaper option
and easier for location contractors to work on it in the future.
This option should also be more
energy efficient, he said. Bids will
be presented for consideration at
the special board meeting June 21.
New Business
The board considered a propos-
al for exception to the Memorial
Policy KGAB. The request is from
the family of Tom Manning, who
worked in the buildings at Sabetha
for an extended time. The request
is to donate a stone bench to be
placed at the SES entrance.
J. Scoby said he would like to see
an exception made to policy to allow this memorial. Reznicek said it
can be difficult to allow exceptions,
because it is a fine line between the
exceptions that are allowed and
those that aren’t.
L. Scoby it seems that a stone
bench could be less care than a
plant, which is currently an accepted memorial per the policy.
Saylor asked if the planted items
include any recognition. Evans
said they do not.
Lippert asked if something like a
bench could be accepted, because
— unlike a plaque — it is a useful
item.
“You can hit a capacity at which
you do not need 50 stone benches
sitting around, but do you have a
need? This is a way to fill that need
and provide for the memorial,”
Lippert said. “When that need is
met, you then cap it.”
Evans said he has had previous
conversations with Principal Gatz
about a “Buddy Bench” on the SES
playground.
“This is a situation in which we
could use a memorial to fit a need,”
Lippert said.
The board approved making an
exception to the policy, with the
provision that Evans speaks with
the Manning family about placing a “Buddy Bench” on the SES
playground in a material and at a
location assigned by the principal.
Next, the board authorized administration to approve dual credit
courses, as deemed appropriate,
taught by Highland Community
College and Washburn Tech; accepted a bid of $1,100 from Tom
Smith for the sale of Bus 98-2; accepted a vendor bid of $307,687.90
from U.S. Foods for 2016-17 food
service; approved renewal of membership with Schools for Quality
Education at a cost of $350; authorized Evans to close out the
FY 2016 budget; and approved a
request to destroy financial records
from FY 2009 and previous, per
standard procedure.
With the submission of two requests — one from SMS teacher
Pete Schuetz and one from the Axtell Knights of Columbus — for use
of district buses, the board revisited the mileage cost for school and
non-school entities to use a bus.
The board approved both requests, at the mileage rates stated
on the requests. In the future, the
board will set a policy differentiating types of entities and what the
rates will be.
The board heard an update on
the USD No. 113 Foundation.
Kuckelman said the funds at the
Foundation are in CDs at the bank,
and the funds are dwindling. The
decision was made to move some
of the funds to managed accounts
with Edward Jones.
The USD No. 113 Foundation
also will be opening a fund with
the Greater Sabetha Community
Foundation as a way to gain publicity and let the public know they
can donate to it, Kuckelman said.
Board members Kuckelman and
DeMint were re-appointed to serve
on the USD No. 113 Foundation
board for the 2016-17 school year.
Also in new business, the board
hired Sara Toedman to fill the position of SES Principal, left vacant
by Gatz when she filled the district’s Director of Student Learning position. Toedman currently
serves as counselor at SHS and
WAC. See additional details in a
future issue of The Sabetha Herald.
The board set a special meeting
to discuss SES HVAC bids, as well
to establish potential action and
necessary preparation for a shutdown. The meeting will be held
at 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 21, at the
district office in Sabetha.
The board entered into executive
session to discuss non-elected personnel for the purpose of discussing contracts. No binding action
was taken.
The next regular board meeting
is slated for 7 p.m. Monday, July
11, at the district office in Sabetha.
cision or final decision in which
a statute or legislative enactment
of this state has been held unconstitutional as a violation of article
6 of the Kansas constitution, the
appellate court or any master or
other person or persons appointed
by the appellate court to hear or
determine a cause or controversy
or to make or enforce any order or
remedy ordered by a court pursuant to K.S.A. 60-253, and amendments thereto, or any other provision of law, shall not have the
authority to order a school district
or any attendance center within a
school district to be closed or enjoin the use of all statutes related to
the distribution of funds for public
education.”
This law was passed and signed
into law by Governor Kathleen
Sebelius during the 2005 special
session following the Supreme
Court’s threat to close school in
the Montoy v. Kansas case.
Agreeing with Garber, Pyle said
the Kansas Supreme Court has “no
constitutional or statutory authority to close schools.”
“The Kansas Supreme Court has
been reversed by the U.S. Supreme
Court more times in the last eight
years than any other state supreme
court,” Pyle said. “With all this
in mind, where does the Kansas
Supreme Court find in the State
Constitution the authority to close
schools?”
“To the contrary, the Court itself has found that the constitution guarantees students certain
educational rights, so closing
schools would deprive students
of such rights and thereby violate
the constitution,” Pyle said. “But
even if the Court believes it has
the right to do so, how are students
better served by depriving them of
education as opposed to participating in a system where funding
might…just maybe in the eyes of
seven judges…be inequitably distributed by less than one percent
of total funding?
While what appears to be a power struggle continues between the
Kansas Legislature and the Kansas Supreme Court, Prairie Hills
USD No. 113 and other area school
districts are in limbo, with school
officials wondering whether to
prepare for a potential shutdown.
What a “shutdown” would look
like is something that will need
to be clarified by the Court, said
Superintendent Evans.
“Although it is an opinion, the
best guess is that the districts
would still be allowed to pay bills
— using money that we have saved
in our carryovers,” Evans said. “In
the extreme, it is within the scope
of possibilities that we would be
shut out of our offices and buildings and not allowed to do anything.”
Evans said that USD No. 113
is following the advice of Craig
Neuenswander, Kansas State Department of Education School
Finance Team Director, in regard
to whether the district should be
making preparations for a potential shutdown.
Neuenswander has indicated
that at this time we should wait
for further direction, Evans said.
Supreme Court threatens possible school shutdown
FUNDING.1A
education,” Pyle said. “Over half
the state’s budget is spent on education. It has been demonstrated it
is the will of the legislature to keep
schools open.”
House Representative Randy
Garber, R-Sabetha, said he is
“disappointed” that the Supreme
Court “continues to attempt to legislate from the bench when they
have no power to do so.”
“This equity ruling sadly has
nothing to do with the educational interests of students. It’s just
another attempt to establish the
Judiciary as the dominant branch
of government,” Garber said. “It
seems that education is taking a
back seat to the Court’s determination to prove it can compel the
Legislature to accede to its demands. This is known as judicial
tyranny.”
Legislators met Wednesday, June
1, to close to the 2016 legislation
session, but did not address the
Kansas Supreme Court’s ruling.
Governor Sam Brownback can
call the Legislature back for special session, but it was unknown
whether he would, until on Tuesday, June 7, he issued a statement
calling for a special legislative
session to address threats by the
Kansas Supreme Court to close
Kansas schools.
“After discussion with Legislative Leadership, I have decided
to call a special session to keep
Kansas schools open, despite
the Court’s threat to close them,”
Brownback said. “It is distressing
that the Kansas Supreme Court has
put the schools and legislature of
Kansas in this position over less
than 1 percent of school funding.”
Brownback indicated that he is
working to arrange the particular
dates of the session, but that it will
occur later this month.
Superintendent Evans said it
seems that legislators are in a
“challenging spot.”
“Each of them swore to uphold
the constitution of the State of
Kansas,” Evans said. “Now that
the constitution has been further
defined, they are between a rock
and a hard spot.”
The bottom line, Evans said, is
that the state’s schools must be
supported.
“The past actions of the legislature has reduced state revenue to
the point that we are now $74.5
million below the already reduced
level of projections for this year,”
Evans said. “If we are acting in
a way that is ‘unconstitutional,’
and ‘unconstitutional’ is wrong,
we need to fix it. In order to fix
it we need to increase our state’s
revenue and subsequently support
our schools.”
About the Ruling
On Feb. 11, 2016, the Kansas
Supreme Court gave the Kansas
Legislature until June 30, 2016, to
cure the constitutional inequities
created by the CLASS Act, which
was enacted through SB 7 in 2016.
In response to the Court’s order, the Legislature passed and the
Governor signed Senate Substitute
for HB 2655.
Oral arguments were held on
May 10, 2016, to determine whether HB 2655 cured the inequities
identified by the Court.
In a ruling issued May 27, 2016,
the Court determined the legislature has cured the unconstitutional
inequities in Capital Outlay.
However, the Court held that
HB 2655 failed to cure the “Local
Option Budget,” or Supplemental
General, inequities. The Court also
found that the “Hold Harmless”
funds create additional inequities;
the “Extraordinary Need” fund is
unconstitutionally inequitable and
insufficient; and that sever ability
would worsen the inequities and
prevent CLASS from operating appropriately.
Pyle said that, while the Kansas
Supreme Court is welcome to an
opinion, it has a “pitiful record”
when it comes to having decisions
reviewed and reversed by a higher
court.
“Just look at how many of the
latest cases reviewed by the U.S.
Supreme Court have been reversed,” Pyle said, citing the Carr
brothers’ cases, in which the U.S.
Supreme Court in January 2016
reversed the Kansas Supreme
Court’s decision to overturn the
death sentences of Jonathan Carr
and Reginald Carr.
“The U.S. Supreme Court ridiculed the Kansas Supreme Court
for ‘time and again’ invalidating
death sentences based on an incorrect view of the law. The opinion
chastised the Kansas Supreme
Court for ‘experimenting’ with
the Constitution,” Pyle said. “The
vote on the Carr brothers case was
almost unanimous, with Scalia and
Alito on the one hand and Breyer
and Ginsburg on the other hand all
agreeing that the Kansas Supreme
Court had incorrectly applied the
law.”
School Shutdown?
Garber said he believes the
Supreme Court’s threat to close
schools is prohibited by existing
law, citing K.S.A. 2106(d).
K.S.A. 60-2106(d) states, “As a
part of a remedy, preliminary de-

School Board approves combo class, reduction of kindergarten
SCHOOLBOARD.1A
administration.
After “hours of research,
thought and consideration,” Evans
presented board members with his
recommendations.
Evans recommended the board
identify a number of students at
Wetmore and Axtell that would
be the breaking point for combination classes, such as combining if
the two grades had enrollment of
18 or less together but split if 19
or more. Enrollment as of Aug. 5
would be the determining factor
regarding whether an additional
teacher would need to be hired.
“After the research that has been
done and learning more about the
concept of combined classes, it
becomes obvious that the district
needs to establish a maximum
number of students that will be acceptable for this option [combined
classroom],” Evans said. “Based up
on my knowledge at this point, I
would establish that number at 18.”
Evans recommended that the
district consider only one combination class for the 2016-17 year, as
a pilot project. He recommended
the board consider fourth and
fifth grades at WES, and Wetmore
Academic Center Principal Janelle
Boden would assign a teacher to
the combination class.
Evans also recommended that
the board reduce kindergarten
sections from four to three, which
would result in two sections of 18
and one of 17 — as opposed to
three sections of 13 and one of
14. This change would reduce SES
needs for a teacher to one, and he
recommended moving one Wetmore teacher to Sabetha.
“If the choice is between a kindergarten class of 18 and a combined class of 18, it is logical and
very educationally acceptable to
have a kindergarten class of 18,”
Evans said.
Following Evans’ presentation of recommendations, board
members discussed the possible
options.
J. Scoby said he likes Evans’ reasoning.
“We are down at Wetmore and
running at a deficit,” J. Scoby said.
“Anything we can do to alleviate
that, we should do that. This is one
way to do that.”
J. Scoby asked if Evans had an
update of enrollment figures. Evans said the most accurate update
would be ready on Aug. 5, following enrollment
Evans said Principal Boden has
shared the number of students
who receive instructional support
and special needs students, and
the board has seen those figures.
J. Scoby asked if it would still
be possible to combine multiple
grade levels to keep classroom size
below 18.
Reznicek said he spoke to a number of teachers at that point, and he
said he was told that students are
much too aware of discrepancies to
do that. It could be detrimental to
students’ self-esteem, and parents
could start taking students out of
school, Reznicek said.
Savings are good, Reznicek said,
but “if we push it to much we may
see those savings disappear when
families leave.”
Lippert said combining classrooms is not “new to the district.”
Class sizes of eight or nine are what
you see at private schools where
parents pay tuition, she said.
“We have to be fiscally responsible,” Lippert said. “We cannot
have a class size of eight kids or
nine kids. We cannot go down to
Topeka and claim our funding
is inadequate and then say, ‘Oh,
by the way, we have class size of
eight.’”
In the long run, Lippert said,
combining classrooms at Wetmore
keeps the building viable.
“You want the building viable?
Make the difficult decisions in the
short run, and it stays viable in the
long run,” Lippert said.
Public Comment
Earlier in the meeting, the board
heard public comment from Corey
Bloom of Wetmore, who read a
letter he had prepared.
Bloom spoke to the board
about “taking a rumor to heart”
of Wetmore losing “as many as 18
students” to combine classrooms
without any solid information.
Bloom said, by his count, Wetmore is only losing four students
but gaining three.
He asked if any of the board
members had come to Wetmore
to talk with teachers or families to
learn more about how this might
affect the students and teachers.
“It is sad that a rumor and a
deficit are all you are concerned
about at the Wetmore School,”
Bloom said.
He questioned what the district’s
savings is to be used for, since all
district schools contributed to it.
Bloom said he believes the district
is fiscally sound.
“Remember, our first priority
and goal is to give all students the
best education we can,” Bloom
said.
Motions and Votes
L. Scoby motioned to reduce
from four to three sections of
kindergarten at SES. The board
approved the motion 5-1, with
Lippert opposed.
There is a reason why we have
four sections of kindergarten [at
SES], so that there is not an overload at the level when students still
need help going to the bathroom,
wiping noses, tying shoes and
things like that, Lippert said.
L. Scoby motioned to combine
fourth and fifth grades at WES for
the 2016-17 school year.
Reznicek said he believed clarification should be provided to set
Busy weekend ahead for Sabetha
a cap of 18 on the combined classroom.
J. Scoby said he believes the enrollment figure should be flexible.
Reznicek said he thinks the
number of 18 is “sensible” and
“clear.” Evans has done research
and talked with teachers and administrators to come to his recommendation, Reznicek said.
The motion failed 3-3, with L.
Scoby, J. Scoby and Lippert in
favor, and Reznicek, Saylor and
Kuckelman opposed.
Saylor motioned to combine
fourth and fifth grades at WES
for the 2016-17 school year, with
a maximum number of 18. The
motion passed 6-0.
Lippert motioned that to combine the second and third grades
at WES for the 2016-17 school year
with a maximum number of 18. J.
Scoby seconded for the purpose of
opening discussion.
He asked Evans to clarify combining second and third grades.
Evans said the teachers he spoke
with said the concepts being taught
are very different.
J. Scoby asked if there would be
a combined paraprofessional for
each combined classroom. Lippert
said it was her understanding that
any combined classroom would
have a dedicated para.
Evans said that a reduction of
this position would result in an
additional reduction of staff.
“To do this, we would actually
be letting someone go,” Evans said.
“This is not feasible at this time.”
L. Scoby said she would like
to see the district start with the
fourth and fifth combination and
“see how that goes.”
The motion failed 1-5, with only
Lippert in favor.

larger size. While it won’t eliminate
price increases, Penzig said, Westar
expects the increases would be less
than customers would experience
from the individual companies.
In addition, as both companies
face a lot of retirements in the
next few years, they will be able
to manage that workforce transition as they need to recruit new
employees.
How does the sale affect current
projects?
Penzig said Westar will continue with any current construction
plans, including plans to build a
new substation and reconstruct
lines in the Sabetha area.
“We are committed to providing good quality service to our
customers and projects like this
are an important part of that commitment,” she said.
Sabetha project
Westar crews have been working
on the low voltage line to Sabetha.
As this part of the project wraps in Missouri and Kansas with some
up, crews will concentrate on re- 13,000 megawatts of power generaplacing the line to Bern. These tion and 10,000 miles of grid lines.
lines are to be completed by the
end of 2016. The rebuilt lines will
follow the existing route, with
some variances.

H
After their season opener was
rained out in Hiawatha on Friday,
May 27, the Northeast Kansas
League Sabetha Lady Jays High
School softball team finally opened
its season on Friday, June 3. Sabetha beat Falls City in a doubleheader by scores of 12-1 and 15-7,
respectively.
Game 1
The starting pitcher, Lexie Phillips, threw all five innings and
only allowed only one hit and
two walks, while striking out 13
batters.
Brooklyn Bauman, Trista Argabright and Karlie Spielman, who
each went 2-3 with an extra base
hit, led the Lady Jays offensively.
Bauman also scored three runs and
had three RBIs, while Argabright
and Spielman each drove in two.
Kaitlyn Tinklin also went 2-2 in
the game and drove in two runs.
The Lady Jays won 12-1.
Game 2
Spielman pitched all five innings
for the Lady Jays in the second
game and led them to their second
victory of the evening. Spielman
allowed only nine hits and seven
runs. She never allowed more
than two hits or runs in an inning,
which kept Falls City from gaining
momentum and allowed the Lady
Jays to gain the 15-7 victory.

THE DITCH EFFECT
Take a rain check on roadside disturbances
Submitted by Jared Wiklund
Pheasants Forever’s public
relations specialist
As the spring nesting season
transitions into the brood-rearing
phase for ring-necked pheasants,
“The Habitat Organization” is
reminding landowners to minimize roadside disturbances –
ditch mowing, haying, spraying
and ATV operation – until Aug. 1
to protect upland birds and other
wildlife.
Roadsides remain an important
habitat component for pheasants
throughout their range, and a myriad of other wildlife also reap the
benefits of undisturbed roadside
habitat.
Making the case for roadside
wildlife
“In the lean years before the
Conservation Reserve Program,
roadside ditches were a major
source of pheasant production,”
said Jim Wooley, director of field
operations for Quail Forever and
a lifelong upland game biologist
with more than 40 years of experience.
“We don’t seem to give roadsides
the same consideration nowadays,”
Wooley said. “This is a shortsight-
ed approach to wildlife management since roadsides are a very
important component in the grand
scheme of habitat – always have
been and always will be.”
Though pheasants and waterfowl are often seen along roadsides, few people realize the importance of roadside ditches to
wildlife.
Research has shown that up to
one-third of all pheasants produced may come from this important habitat structure – an even
more critical statistic for intensively row cropped regions where undisturbed grassland habitat can be
sparse. Likewise, waterfowl nesting research has shown shorelines
and roadsides contain the highest
number of nests per acre.
Roadsides form an extensive
network of grassy corridors and
provide nesting, brood-rearing
and winter cover for pheasants and
other wildlife. As urban sprawl and
intensified agricultural demand
have replaced pristine prairies,
grassy roadsides oftentimes provide the only significant source of
nesting cover for pheasants.
What’s more? Roadsides also
provide vital habitat for monarchs,

Pheasant Math: Best Scenario
Pheasant nest initiation: May 1
Total of 12 eggs laid: May 13
Hatched eggs after maximum incubation period of 28 days: June 10
Wait period of three weeks for chicks to be flight ready: July 1
With an average nest success rate of 40 to 60 percent and re-nesting
attempts needing time for all eggs to be laid, it’s easy to see why Aug. 1 is
the recommend date to delay disturbance of roadsides. Pheasants Forever
encourages landowners to consider the benefits for wildlife when making
roadside land management decisions this spring/summer.
mallards, teal, gray partridge,
grassland songbirds, native pollinators, honeybees, frogs and
turtles.
Just the facts
In the Midwest’s northern
reaches of the pheasant range, hens
will make one to four attempts at
nesting during the season, but will
only hatch one brood per year.
The majority of nests hatch by
mid-June but up to 40 percent of
re-nesting attempts hatch throughout July, stretching out the nesting season and highlighting the
importance of delayed roadside
disturbances. By Aug. 1, the reproductive season is over for most
pheasants with the exception of a
few late re-nesting attempts.
A nesting hen lays eggs at a rate
of about one per day. Early season
nests contain an average of 10 to
12 eggs, but each subsequent renesting attempt contains fewer
eggs. The incubation period is 23
to 28 days and starts after all eggs
have been laid.
The hen remains very faithful
to the nest, leaving only briefly to
feed, and is therefore also vulnerable to mowing during this time.

WEEKLY RECIPE
Blueberry Crumble
Muffins
INGREDIENTS
Crumble Topping
3/4 c flour
1/2 c butter, cut into cubes
2 tbsp brown sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
from the kitchen of Annie Deters
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Prepare a muffin tin by lining cups
with paper muffin/cupcake cups
and/or lightly spray with a nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, beat milk, oil
and egg until well mixed. In a
separate bowl, mix together the
flour, sugar, baking powder, and
salt. Add dry ingredients to wet
ingredients. Mix until a batter
just forms, it will be lumpy. Gently
fold in blueberries using a large
rubber spatula.
Divide the batter even among the
12 muffin cups.
Prepare the crumble: use a fork,
pastry cutter, or your hands to
smash together the flour, butter,
brown sugar into a crumbly
mixture. Sprinkle the crumble over
the batter in each muffin cup. Bake
for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick
comes out clean.

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.
