BELOIT – Leadership Mitchell
County Class XV spearheaded the Spring
Stock-up food drive March 2-20,
resulting in 1,494 items and $825 donated
to Mitchell County Food Pantry.
Thirty-seven businesses in Beloit,
Glen Elder, Cawker City, and Tipton
participated.
“It was a real success,” said Beverly
James, co-coordinator of Mitchell County
Food Pantry. “The drive came at a time
when people don’t always think about
donating to the food pantry. The shelves
thin out after the winter holidays, but
people still need food. In the last three
weeks, we’ve served twelve families.
Nine of those families were new to the
food pantry.”
Families receive food according to
family size in one of three categories —
one to two family members, three to four,
and five or more family members. Each
family can visit the food pantry twice per
year, as Mitchell County Food Pantry was
set up as an emergency service.
Last year, 274 families were served
by the Mitchell County Food Pantry. Of
those, 172 were new clients. Many who
use the food pantry work minimum
wage jobs with no benefits. When a
large medical expense or vehicle
repair comes along, they find
themselves in a position that they
may need the services of the food
pantry to get the family through the
next month or two. Other
newcomers ran into a situation
where work hours were cut during a
slow time for their business, and
needed assistance to get through
until they could add more hours.
“It is amazing what can happen
with community support,” said
project chair Janea Peters. “It was a
unanimous decision by our class to
do the food drive as our project. Our
class came together to make it
happen, but without support from
the participating businesses, it
would have not be such a great
success.”
“The results of this drive will
benefit many people from the
county,” said LMC member Neil
Cates.

Credit Union Annual Meeting was
held on Wednesday, March 25 in the
St. John’s High School gymnasium.
The event was hosted by FCU Board
of Directors, officers and employees.
A total of 349 members and guests
attended the meeting. It was a night
focussing on the strength of the
institution which credits the members
for its success. The institution also
expressed pride in the fact that they
service all their loans locally and
highlighted their growing membership.
The event began with a meal of
swiss steak, green beans, baked potato,
dinner roll, applesauce jello, cookies,
ice cream and refreshments prepared
by the St. John’s Ladies’ Guild.
Following the meal, the first of several
prizes were drawn for including
varying denominations of Visa gift
cards and Beloit Bucks as well as gas
cards. All children under 12 in
attendance received a gift including a
$2 bill and quarter set.
The business portion of the
meeting began with an invocation
delivered by Dave Maeliff. Notice of
Meeting and Quorum was presented by
Mike Liggett. Minutes from the 2014
meeting were read by Deanne Winkel
and approved. Brenda Grauerholz
delivered the Credit Committee report
and announced more than 5,400
locally serviced loans had been
approved during the fiscal year. The
condensed
financial
statement
included in the program handout
showed total assets of the member
owned Credit Union to be
approaching nearly 90 million dollars.
Amy Latta from the accounting
firm of Lindburg Vogel Pierce Faris,
Chartered gave a Supervisory
Committee report showing that proper
procedures and accounting practices
are in place at FCU. Latta and
members of the local media were later
recognized by the board for their
work. The Report of Board was then
delivered by Jonell Schenk followed
by the Nominating Committee report
by Doug Scholl. During which two
new board member nominations were
approved for Mike Liggett and Jonell
Schenk.
FCU President Joe Deneke
delivered his Report of Manager.
Echoing sentiments shared throughout
the night regarding the solidity and
strength of the institution and their
deep
appreciation
for
the
membership. He also spoke about the
effects of technology on the financial
sector and reviewed FCU practices in
located in the southwest corner of the

PRINCETON, N.J. – The findings
of a report compiled by the Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation and the
University of Wisconsin Population
Health Institute ranking the healthiest
counties in each state in the nation was
released this week.
Every county was evaluated by the
same criteria and ranked from
healthiest to least healthy in their
respective state.
The study considered 30 factors
that contribute to overall health and
well being including education,
housing, violent crime, jobs, diet
and more.
In Kansas, the top five counties
deemed most healthy were Riley,
Johnson, Pottawatomie, Stevens and
Jewell.
Mitchell County ranked No. 14
out of 105 Kansas counties. The least
healthy counties, according to the
study, are Woodson, Decatur,
Cherokee, Greenwood and Labette.
The rankings show that the
healthiest counties in each state have
higher college attendance, fewer
preventable hospital stays and better
access to parks and gyms. The least
healthy counties in each state tend to
have more smokers, more teen births
and more alcohol related car crash
deaths.

My youngest
son is 34 years old and lives
with my wife and me. He is an
alcoholic and is unemployed,
with no interest in getting a job.
He helps at home by doing the
cooking. He is a great cook by
trade. He was laid off as head
cook at a restaurant and can’t get
over it.
My son is a good person, and
I love him very much. He claims
he was blackballed. He has had
10 good jobs over the past 15
years, but has had at least five
DUIs and has been in jail three
times.
Could this be true? Is there
any way I could get him out of
the house and into a work
program? My wife will not back
me up when I tell him he has to
get a job. -- Beside Myself
Employers
routinely refuse to hire those
who have a drug or alcohol
problem and have been arrested
multiple times. It has nothing to
do with being “blackballed.”
Regardless of his cooking skills,
your son is not a reliable
employee. Before you check out
a work program, please see if he
will go to an AA meeting
(aa.org). You and your wife
could also benefit from
understanding how you may be
enabling your son’s drinking,
which undermines his efforts to
find employment. For you, we
recommend
Al-Anon
(alanon.alateen.org). Your son can
still turn his life around, but he
needs to get off the booze first.
I could have
written the letter from “Tired of
Sharing,” the woman in her 50s
who was dating a man who
always had a group of women
around him. It brought back
vivid memories of a crazy time
in my own life. I, too, met a man
who seemed witty and funny. I
fell hard, ignoring all the signs
of a lousy relationship blooming
on the horizon.
My guy had a harem of
women, too. They were only
“friends” whom he talked about
all the time. They knew no
boundaries and would call him
at any hour for anything. If they
wanted help, he’d drop whatever
he was doing, leaving me to
handle stuff at home by myself.
How stupid of me not to know
that the relationship could only
go downhill.
My life was a living hell for a
long time, culminating in a
nervous breakdown. I finally
had enough and moved out, and
it was the best thing I ever did.
He ended up marrying one of his
“friends.” I dodged a big bullet.
There is life after such a
horrendous mistake if you get
out in time. I always thought I
had to have a man in my life in
order to be happy. But after
years of dating and being in
unhappy relationships, I gave it
all up, and I’ve never been
happier or more free. It’s
exhilarating to know you can do
for yourself and be truly content
with life. I would never go back
to that crazy lifestyle. Tell that
woman to run away as fast as
she can. She’ll be glad she did. - Older and Wiser
No one should
remain in a relationship where
you don’t feel valued, where
you think you have to put up
with constant mistreatment and
disregard because otherwise you
would be on your own. There
are worse things than being
alone, as you have learned.

Senate Scene
By Senator Elaine Bowers
As we concluded our tenth
week of the 2015 legislative
session, we also ended the time
frame in which non-exempt
committees could meet and
conduct business. The three
“exempt” committees: Ways and
Means, Assessment and Taxation
and Federal and State Affairs are
the only exceptions to that
deadline and will continue with
any business they have on hand.
Next week, the Senate will work
three full days debating
legislation on the floor and leave
Thursday and Friday open for
Conference Committees to begin
negotiations.
Macy Squires and Mikayla
Brennan of Lincoln and Taegen
Larsen of Concordia served as
pages on Monday and Angel
Pfeifer, Jamestown, Maggie
Malmburg, Phillipsburg, and
Russell Dethloff, Concordia,
served as pages for the Kansas
Senate on the following day.
They met Governor Brownback,
took the Dome tour, worked in
my office ran errands for the
Senate during session.
On Monday, the Senate voted
to concur with a measure passed
by the House last week to sunset
the state’s 23 year old school
finance formula with a vote of
25-14. I have mentioned many
times in the past years that I
believe the best legislation is
debated in each Chamber and
sent to the other after a vote by
the entire body. A concur is a
motion to agree with the opposite
Chamber with no changes
meaning
no
amendments
allowed. I disagree with this
process as it takes away the
ability to make a bill better as in
this case and I Voted no on this
bill. SB 7 repeals the current
school funding formula and uses
block grants to fund education
and over the next two years a
new formula will be put together.
It is my hope that people from
across the state and in other
fields as well as education have
the opportunity to develop this
plan in a special committee
which I hope will be as
successful as the K-12 Efficiency
Committee which met and
reported back to the legislature.
Below are a few bullet points on
the bill.
For FY 2015 (school year
2014-15), the bill would add
$27,346,783 in General State
Aid, $1,803,566 in Supplemental
General State Aid (Local Option
Budget [LOB] State Aid), and an
amount not to exceed $2,202,500
for the Capital Outlay State Aid
demand transfer, all from the
State General Fund (SGF). In
addition, the bill would transfer
$4.0 million from the SGF to a
newly created special revenue
fund called the School District
Extraordinary Need Fund.
For FY 2016 (school year
2015-16), the bill would
appropriate $2,751,326,659 from
SGF as a block grant to school
districts.
A demand transfer
from the SGF to the School
District Extraordinary Need
Fund would be made in an
amount
not
to
exceed
$12,292,000.
An
SGF
appropriation of $500,000 would
be made to the Information
Technology
Education
Opportunities
Account
(extension of a program to pay
for credentialing high school
students
in
information
technology
fields,
funded
previously in the Board of
Regents’ budget).

SB 175 enacts law prohibiting
postsecondary
educational
institutions from taking any
action that would deny a
religious student association any
benefit available to any other
student association. The bill
creates a cause of action for a
student or religious student
association wronged by a
violation of this provision and in
doing so the afflicted party could
assert such violation as a defense
or seek appropriate relief,
including monetary damages.
The Senate approved the bill on
a Final Action vote of 30-8. For

Senate Bill 86 creates the
Kansas Transparency Act which
also expands the Kansas Open
Records Act. The bill requires
legislative committees to have
an audio feed streamed live over
the internet. Four designated
committee rooms would be
equipped to allow for broadcasts
by January 1, 2016 with the rest
of the statehouse’s committee
rooms following by 2019. Those
first four rooms would be
designated by the Legislative
Coordinating Council. Archives
of the broadcasts would also be
available to the public on the
Kansas Legislative website.
Proponents of SB 86 believe the
measure would allow more
people to participate in and help
citizen become more informed
about the legislative process.
The measure was approved
unanimously with a vote of 38 to
0. For more information on this

Senate Bill 98 (SB 98)
updates the Kansas Open

minutes be taken at all meetings
that fall under the Kansas Open
Meetings Act. The presiding
officer would determine the
format but minutes of all
meetings would be required. SB
98 also updates how much
public agencies can charge for
black and white copies of public
records. Each copy could not
exceed $0.25 a page. The
measure has been the result of

Under Senate Bill 42 (SB 42),
every registered lobbyist must
submit a report disclosing the
amount of money they receive
from public entities. The reports
will be open to the public and
must be filed by January 10 for
the previous year. All reports
will be available on the Secretary
of State’s website. There were
two amendments added on the
floor
that
would
ask
governmental
agencies
to
disclose all public funds that are
used to lobby and publish that
information the same way they
publish their annual budget
either online or in newsprint.
Proponents of the measure
believe taxpayers deserve to
know the amount of public
money being spent to lobby for
more tax dollars. The bill passed
unanimously with a vote of 38 to
0.
The Senate also debated and
passed out 16 other bills: SB98,

year. In fact, the last time
private-sector employment was
this high was in 2007. The state’s
unemployment rate remains at
4.2%, with the national
unemployment rate currently at
5.7. Currently, Kansas ranks
second in the region with regard
to private sector job growth.
Look for the Senate to start
debating the budget next week.
The Senate Committee on Ways
and Means spends the first
weeks of session breaking down
the state’s budget into subcommittees on designated areas
and hearing from stakeholders.
They then report back to the full
committee, which works to piece
together spending for the next
two fiscal years. The committee
passed out the budget on
Thursday to the full Senate to
work
before
the
first
adjournment deadline on Friday,

April 3, 2015, when we will
adjourn for a month long break
before returning to Topeka for
what is called “veto session.”
Veto session in the past has been
utilized by the House and the
Senate to negotiate an agreement
in many areas where there are
major differences between
similar bills passed, most notably
tax and the budget. However, our
goal is to complete the bulk of
this work before we return for
veto session. We will be
debating on the floor all day
early next week and small teams
of House and Senate negotiators
will meet to reconcile bills to be
passed in what are called
“conference committee reports”
before adjournment of the
regular session.
As always, I’ll keep you
updated on the activities of the
legislature while we continue
through the second half of the
session. I always encourage you
to stay informed of the issues
under consideration by the
Kansas Legislature. Committee
schedules, bills, and other
helpful information can be easily
accessed
through
the
legislature’s
website
at
www.kslegislature.org. Please do
not hesitate to contact me with
your thoughts, concerns, and
suggestions. An email is the best
at this point in the session

This past Saturday and Sunday our congregation (Zion
Lutheran Church) was privileged to have as guest preacher, Ben
Fulton; Executive Director of Camp Tomah Shinga. Camp
Tomah Shinga is located on 840 acres near Junction City,
Kansas, some of the most beautiful land in the Flint Hills area.
Camp Tomah Shinga serves 250 summer campers and 400
retreat guests annually and is part of Lutheran Outdoor
Ministries.
Now, please understand, this is not a promotional article for
the camp, I am simply putting Ben’s position at the camp into
context. The reason I am writing about our experience this week
with Ben is because of the message he shared with us.
The Gospel text Ben preached on was “the Parable of the
Good Samaritan”, a familiar text, with the central message of
“love your neighbor, and your neighbor is often the one you
rarely think of as your neighbor”. But, here’s the thing; Ben did
not take that familiar approach.
Ben’s approach was more about the journey the people in
the story were on. Where was the traveler going that would put

him on such a dangerous stretch of road? What was it that had
the Priest and the Levite in the story in such a state that they
avoided the injured traveler? What was it that brought the
Samaritan to Jerusalem and back again that he would be able
to repay the innkeeper the final bill for the injured traveler’s
injuries?
None of these questions are answered in the story,
however, what we do know is that all of those people were on
some type of journey. They were going to and from
somewhere and along the way, they all crossed paths with
each other. And here’s the really cool part - they all became a
part of each other’s story!
Every day we all embark on a journey; it’s called life!
Our journey takes us many places and we encounter many
people along the way, some good and some not so much; but
regardless, they forever become a part of our story and we a
part of theirs. Just imagine - you are part of someone’s story!
God made us part of God’s story the moment God
decided to create the universe. God continued to include us in
God’s story when God came down to us in the man Jesus of

Nazareth; when he lived as one of us, suffered as one of us, died
as one of us, and rose from the dead so that we would also rise
one day. Folks, we are woven into the very fabric of God’s story
and plan for all of creation. It is a story of love, of hope, of
redemption, of unmerited salvation. It is a story of costly Grace,
freely given, but at a very high price.
This week as we enter into Holy Week, we need to
remember that the story of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem to the
joyous reception and praise of the people, his betrayal, arrest,
suffering, and death is part of a much bigger story culminating in
resurrection and eternal life. God’s story includes God’s
understanding fully all that we experience along our life’s
journey; all of the emotions, all of the suffering, and all that we
are so that we can be assured that our God understands us and is
with us through it all. We are part of God’s great story of
creation and redemption. So, thank you Ben Fulton for helping
me see my story from a different perspective.
May God bless you all this coming Holy Week and always
as we journey together.

PRATT – Did you know that more than 93 bass per hour were
sampled last fall at Bone Creek Lake in Crawford County? You
would if you subscribed to thePittsburg District Fisheries
Newsletterwritten by fisheries biologist Rob Friggeri. Ninety-three
bass per hour is a very good sampling rate, but the fact that more
than 30 percent of those bass were longer than 15 inches seals the
deal for bass anglers. That little tidbit was in the newsletter, too.
Or did you know that in 2014, the biologist at Perry Lake
sampled the largest number of white bass he’d seen in years? You
would if you subscribed to thePerry Newswritten by district
fisheries biologist Kirk Tjelmeland. Knowing that could put
anglers in the right spot to take advantage of a great Perry Lake
white bass spawning run this spring.
Each of the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and
Tourism’s (KDWPT) 17 district fisheries biologists produces
several newsletters each year to inform anglers of programs,
projects and sampling results for the lakes they manage. Together,
they manage 24 federal reservoirs, 40 state fishing lakes, and more
than 200 community lakes. That’s a lot of water and fish to keep
track of, but the newsletters can help. You might even discover a
lake in your area you didn’t know existed.
So how does an angler get wind of this valuable information?
It’s easy, and it’s just a click away at http://www.ksoutdoors.com/ .
From the “Fishing” page, click on the “Newsletter Request Forms”
link on the right-side menu. You can subscribe to any or all of the
newsletters, which will be conveniently emailed to you when they
are published. You can also download and view past newsletters.
Once you receive the newsletters, you can combine the information
contained in them with the 2015 Fishing Forecast and the “Weekly
Fishing Reports” (also online) to make intelligent decisions on
where to go for your next fishing trip. Use these three tools to
catch more fish this spring.

Peggy Jean Sellers, age 88,
passed away Saturday, March 7,
2015 at her home in Mulvane.
The funeral service was held
March 11 at Our Savior
Lutheran Church, Mulvane.
She was born March 4, 1927
in Beloit, the daughter of Beloit
Street Commissioner Manford
Scraper and Frances (Wrench)
Scraper. Peggy attended school
variously in Asherville, Beloit,
Cawker City, and St. Mary’s.
After graduating high school at
St. Mary’s in 1945, Peggy
trained as a member of the US
Cadet Nursing Corps for a year
under Sister Loretta Charles at
St. Francis School of Nursing in
Topeka.
She married Charles Sellers
on Jan 23, 1949, and before
long she was a mother, and
eventually a grandmother, greatgrandmother, and great-greatgrandmother, all roles for which
she was well suited and which
she cherished.
She was a professional
secretary and a longtime
volunteer for the V.A. Hospital
and the American Legion. She
will be fondly remembered by
the many students she assisted
and chaperoned over the years
in the American Legion
Auxiliary Girls State Program
as they learned love of God and
Country, leadership skills, and

Debbi Ree Stillwell was born
June 21, 1960 to Robert and
Mary Villanueva in Karnes
City, Texas. She passed
peacefully into the love of our
Savior Jesus Christ on March
16, 2015 at the age of 54.
Debbi’s family moved to the
Beloit area when she was in
high school. Here, she met her
husband David Stillwell. They
were wed on August 7, 1976.
To this union, two children
were born: Jonathan in 1981
and RyAnn in 1988. They
raised
their
family
in
Scottsville. Debbi enjoyed
reading and spending time with
her family, especially her
grandchildren.
Her
grandchildren
loved
the
attention she would give them
through hugs and reading
books.
She is preceded in death by
her mother, Mary Hill;
stepfather, Frank Hill; and her
political world.
Foremost among Peggy’s
favorite activities was spending
time with her family. She
faithfully attended family
reunions in Beloit and other
locations whenever her health
permitted. She will be greatly
missed by all her friends,
family, and loved ones.
Peggy was preceded in death
