Mound Valley flagpole will be
centerstage for hometown star
James Wesley
to hold concert
Saturday night
Mound Valley residents will
gather in a familiar setting this
coming Saturday night, Oct. 3, to
hear a hometown country music
singer perform a free concert.
Everyone in the area is invited to bring their lawn chairs and
gather around the downtown flagpole for the “My Roots Run Deep”
concert which will feature James
Wesley who grew up in Mound
Valley, and now tours nationally
as a country music star.
Local arrangements are being
made by Wesley’s good friend, Kim
Vanderhofe, who said this event will
literally “be in his back yard.”
She said Pumpkin Creek was Wesley’s favorite fishing spot when he
was a kid and was probably his inspiration for his newest hit, “Hooked
Up,” which refers to his favorite sport
of fishing.
Wesley said he has wanted to do
a hometown concert for quite some
time, and with Vanderhofe’s help, it’s
going to happen. Kim also had lots
of help from Marvin Jones and other
close friends.
Wesley is hoping to reconnect
with old friends, especially those he
knew while attending Labette County
High School as a teenager.
The last time Wesley performed in
Mound Valley was in May 2011 when
Mayor Joe Ybarra presented him with
a key to the city, and also proclaimed
it “James Wesley Day.”
Special “My Roots Run Deep” tshirts will be sold at this weekend’s
concert.
He will bring his regular band
with him, and will feature “6 Degrees
West” as the opening band. They will
be traveling from Nashville where
Wesley resides.
The concert will start at 7 p.m.
and continue until at least 10 p.m.
Concessions will be available including chili dogs, nachos, candy
bars, frito bars, chili and soft drinks.
Anyone who would like to make
donations to the concert may send
Mound Valley native James Wesley
checks to James Wesley Sponship Fund and mail them to
Community National Bank, P.O.

Robin Oldham medals in
Kansas Senior Olympics events
It was her first to enter swimming competiion
Robin Oldham of Oswego was a first-time competitor of the Kansas Senior Olympics held in Topeka last weekend.
Oldham, a substitute teacher and sports writer,
entered swimming events including the 200-yard
breaststroke and 500-yard freestyle.
"My goal was to show up and complete the
races," said with a smile. "It was my first time in a
swimming competition," she said, noting that she
has taught swimming lessons and worked as a lifeguard instructor.
"Upon arrival, I realized I was the only entrant
in my age group (50 to 54), so in order to medal, I
had only to complete the events."
As a lifelong runner, Oldham is always in good
shape. However, after a recent surgery for meniscus tears in her knee, her surgeon told her that
she needed to curtail her running due to advanced
arthritis.
The doctor suggested biking and swimming.
Fellow lifeguards at Parsons encouraged each
other to extend their swimming distances each
day.
She had intended to run a 10k this summer but
when that plan was quashed, she needed a new
goal. A Facebook friend mentioned competing in
the New Mexico Senior Olympics in the shot put,
something she had never done. She liked the idea,
and chose swimming.
Robin said she does not compete for prizes or
to defeat others. "I just love the motivation of a
goal," she said.
But she also thought it might be cool to compete for a medal in swimming so she entered the
Kansas Senior Olympics.
She was accompanied to Topeka by her
19-year-old son, Tag Oldham. "I have sat outside
and diamond-side and criss-crossed trails cheering for him for many years," she said. "He was
more than happy to cheer for me for a change."
Her husband, David, had to stay home to take
care of an ailing dog.

A couple of months ago I met with
a young couple who was considering
a new business. It was to be a major
undertaking requiring a considerable
amount of money, as well as the factors
associated with new construction.
It’s always an exciting time for prospective entrepreneurs; dreaming about
what might come to pass, working on the
details of the plan, talking to contractors,
and of course, searching for financing.
Notice that I kept the search for financing
as the last piece of the puzzle, after the
planning, cost-estimating, and financial
projections. Too often, people try to start
the process by financing the deal before
they’ve done the requisite planning, and
then, become frustrated when bankers
refuse their request for a loan.
There are a lot of avenues available
for funding deals, but all of them are
going to require evidence that the applicant has done his homework. If you
just walk into the bank, ask for a loan to
finance a new venture, but have nothing
to support your request, you’ll walk out
empty-handed. On the other hand, if you
are fully-prepared with a business plan
that includes the cost of the project, the
market to be served, and financial projections that show a favorable cash flow,
you’ll have a much better chance of receiving a loan.
Don’t forget that there are other financial resources as well. We have local
revolving loans, SBA loans, and USDA
business loans, all which can be combined with the more conventional bank
loans.
Finally, remember that most lenders are going to require that you have
some of your own money committed to
the project. Don’t expect to finance one
hundred percent of the new venture; it is
rare that you won’t be required to have a
down-payment.

Getting a good load of moonbeams
Wow, how many of you saw the total lunar eclipse
Sunday night? It was awesome. This occurs when the
earth’s shadow blocks the sun’s light, which otherwise
reflects off the moon. The most dramatic is the total
lunar eclipse. When the earth’s shadow completely
covers the moon, it will turn red during a portion of
an eclipse. God uses the sun, moon and stars as signals for us. This phenomenon happens rarely, but it is a memorable
event. Jewish tradition says that it is bad news for the Jews when it is
a lunar eclipse. Lots of moon photos were taken locally and posted on
Facebook.

OUR OPINIONS
America needs someone to
parent our homeland
Exactly what are the American people
seeking in their next president?
From watching the campaign antics on television, the candidates apparently think we’re
looking for a reality show. Or a carnival. Maybe
even a Bible-toting preacher.
In truth, we think America needs a good
parent --- someone who has been successful in
being a dad or a mother.
Successful parents never make comparisons in their children. They simply extend their
love, support and encouragement to all who
live under their roofs --- and even those who
don’t.
We could use some of that in our country
right now. There is little encouragement out
there, but lots of put-downs, comparisons in
thinking, even personal appearance.
Good parents wouldn’t do that.
Moms and dads don’t brag on themselves
or hang pictures of their own likeness on office walls. They don’t expect all their children
to be alike or walk the same pathways in life.
Happy individuals --- that’s the highest prayer
of parents for the younger generation they help
to raise.
Political campaigners have become experts
in telling others how the cow ate the cabbage;
how everyone needs to line up behind those
who look alike, walk in goose steps with party
faithfuls, and salute those who are loud and
powerful.
Actually, most Americans seem to be turned
off by these capers. We are looking for someone
to parent our homeland, not rule it.
We crave the sound of soft voices in the living room, not the clanging of harshness nor the
hijinks of paid handlers.
We just want our nation to feel like home
again.
There, we hold hopes of safety in our neighborhoods, pleasantry among neighbors and
thoughtful actions by those who lead us.
We are our nation’s children, and we don’t
care about our dad’s golf score or the size of
his portfolio. We don’t care if our mother ever
wears a Christian Dior gown. We just want to
see, hear and feel their wisdom. We simply
want to know they are there for us.
So, whether our next president is a man
or woman, rich, poor, black, tan or white, we
might look at their parenting skills first, then
forget their hollow promises and ignore the
millions of dollars they will throw at us in the
coming months.
America wants a mother.
We need a father.
If our candidates have been unsuccessful
in those roles, perhaps we should keep looking
until we find someone who respects their children, never compares them, always loves them
and usually spoils them a bit.
Perhaps then, we will find our next president.

Understanding how the OAG quizzers to serve breakfast
kingdom operates
God has given us the ability to see into the spirit realm
that is not naturally seen. It is only seen through His Word.
This eternal, spirit, realm has the ability to change the natural, temporary realm. “Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:1-5 Natural birth
comes through water. You are born again, spiritual birth,
into the eternal realm when you make Jesus the Lord of
your life. We are “translated into the kingdom of God.” Colossians 1:13 God’s Word is the authority in His kingdom.
We are to speak and act according to His Word.

answered by “Name your favorite fruit.” Open house will
be held at the new Southeast
Kansas District Office located
just northwest of Parsons at
the corner of Highway 400
and Ness Road on Sept. 28,
starting at 9:30 a.m. The

elected for next year: President--Donna Strickland, Vice
president--Anna
Karhoff,
Secretary-treasurer-Kayla
O’Brien, Reporter-Elsie Vail.
Anna Karhoff gave the lesson “A is for Apple“ Some
interesting bits of information gleaned from the lesson
included: Students have been
observing the custom of giving apples to their teachers
for over a century. Apples
come in all shades of red,
green, and yellow. Over 2500
varieties of apples are grown
in the US. They grow in all
fifty states and Americans
eat over 50 pounds of apples
each year. Over sixty percent
of them are eaten raw. The
lesson told something of the
history of apples and tips on
growing apple trees. Apples
have valuable nutritional value and potential health benefits. Common varieties were
listed with best uses of each
kind included. Fun recipes for
kids of all ages were included.
Anna Karhoff was the
hostess and appropriately she
served apple pie made from
apples grown on her own tree. The next meeting will be
at the Chinese Chef when the
members will celebrate their

Town meeting will give
Chetopa residents a chance
to share ideas about growth
Chetopa community residents will
come together for a town meeting on
Thursday, Oct. 8, at 5:30 p.m. to discuss
the community’s future.
Bobby Hawthorne, co-owner of Garett’s Family Restaurant, said an impromptu meeting was held last week
and there were 32 people who showed
up.
Included were State Rep. Mike
Houser, Mayor Ron Wood, several city
council members, USD 505 Supt. Bobbi
Williams and many others.
“We just kicked around some ideas
about how we need more businesses
and more people in Chetopa,” said
Hawthorne.
“After the meeting, I got a call from
Bobbi Williams who said we really
needed another meeting --- a big one.
So, that’s what we’re doing next Thursday night.”
Supt. Williams will serve as mod-
erator for the meeting which will be
held in the Chetopa School All-Purpose
Room.
Ideas will be floated and specific
strategies will be discussed to plan
Chetopa’s future.
Hawthorne and his wife, Robin,
have been instrumental in boosting the
community since opening their restaurant less than a year ago.
“We’ve lost some good jobs in the
past year,” said Hawthorne, “and we’ve
also gained some new ones.”
He said Chetopa is always good at
pulling together in tough times, and he
sees next Thursday’s meeting as typical
of Chetopa’s united spirit.
Everyone is welcome to attend the
meeting which will be led in round-table fashion.
“We’re just looking for ideas” said
Hawthorne. “So bring ‘em.”

The only pack rat in Kansas is gone ...
so let’s just don’t talk about it
A pack rat trotted into our garage last week and life hasn’t yet
returned to normal.
But the rat — the largest I’ve
ever seen — met his waterloo at
the end of my favorite crowbar.
Kathy and I are freaks when
it comes to neatness, and we had
just cleaned the garage the previous day. That included cleaning
shelves, blowing out leaves and
debris then mopping the entire
garage.
So, Mr. Pack Rat’s presence
was noticed immediately, and
we are telling ourselves he is the
only one within 25 miles. But, of
course, we’ve read the memos,
and realize this daddy rat probably has family ties someplace really close.
I grew up on a farm, and I’ve
seen barn rats of all varieties. My
dad insisted that we leave alone
a big bull snake that lived in our
barn — a pesky critter for sure,
but one that would keep rats from
ripping open the feed sacks.
But what we saw in our garage was more akin to a lion or
tiger than a rat. Well, almost.
My wife called me at the office and said, “You’ve got to come
home — there’s something big in
our garage. I’d say it’s a possum
or a raccoon.”
So, I headed to the house,
opened the garage door and immediately saw the pack rat scurry
behind some cleaning supplies.
He was at least 8 inches long.
I grabbed a broom in one
hand and a crowbar in the other.
I was a mean hombre.
I spent 30 minutes chasing the
darn rat, jabbing the broom stick
at him but missing every time.
I finally caught him in the hind
quarters which slowed him somewhat, then I whacked him with
the crowbar.
By the time my hunting venture ended, I was drenched with
sweat and the garage was a
mess. I had pulled out every box
and tossed aside every bottle of
Windex, carpenter’s glue, ammonia and carpet shampoo.
It looked like a badly planned
yard sale. Anything soft, like
towels or rags, got thrown in the
trash.
So, we spent the entire evening re-cleaning, plugging cracks
by the garage door and beckoning our neighbors’ two cats —
normally unwelcome at our place
Off the Cuff
RUDY TAYLOR
— to please
stand guard.
We left treats
for the wonderful cats.
So far, so
good.
But every
time we walk
into that garage, our eyes
scan the corners and base-
boards, checking for little droppings. None so far.
I’d say the word has gone out
that Rudy and Kathy Taylor are
crowbar-toting fools and that any
stray food stuffs will be laced with
D-Con.
Now the task is to fix the
gashes I made in the sheetrock
when I threw a claw hammer at
the stupid pack rat — missing it
by three feet each time.
Here’s my request, dear readers: I know you must have pack
rat stories of your own, but we
don’t want to hear them.
Remember, this pack rat was
lost, and probably fell off a big
truck that stopped for gas at a local convenience store.
There are no other pack rats
in Kansas.
Shut up! Don’t say anything!

LCHS football logs first win
Tops rival Parsons 53-12
By Robin Oldham
LABETTE AVENUE
Sean Price, head coach of
the gridiron Grizzlies of Labette County High School,
credits his team’s 53-12 Friday
night win over rival Parsons
to his squad’s character, discipline and defense.
“This was a big win and
it’s one we really needed to
validate the hard work these
young people put in this summer,” said Price. “I’m really
proud of the entire team for
the character they showed
when faced with a team that
was taking shots at us.
“I told the kids that the
more disciplined team would
win and it really showed with
the character we portrayed.”
The win was the first for
the Grizzlies this season.
Despite some stumbles in
the opening plays, the Grizzlies scored early and led 19-0
at the end of the first period
and 33-0 at the half.
In the third quarter, Parsons struggled to score, finally
getting six points on the board
while also drawing personal
fouls and having players ejected from the game.
With the game all but over,
the Grizzlies added 20 points
to their total in the third quarter to complete their scoring.
With time running out, Parsons added a touchdown.
“We had a great night!”
said Price. “Our defense did an
outstanding job of playing as a
TEAM.
“Chance March was our
defensive catalyst by destroying their timing and creating a
big mess for them.”
At nose tackle, March
logged five solo tackles; three
were sacks and four for losses.
Alex Smith posted six solo
tackles and four assists. Tate
Phillips had five solos and
one assist. Quiency Jones got
one sack and three tackles for
losses.
Also on defense, Klein
Ryan, Dominic Johnson and
Bradley Myers caught an interception apiece. Owyn Back
had two pass deflections and
Myers had one.
Price continued to laud his
squad, praising quarterback
Logan Dean and the Grizzly
receivers.
“I’m really proud of our offensive line for giving us time
and creating holes for Isaiah
McPherson to run,” said Price.
Seven of LC’s eight touchdowns were on pass plays.
Dean logged an impressive
401 air yards.
Klein Ryan had 11 catches
for 209 yards and five TDs,
while Dominic Johnson caught
seven passes for 164 yards and
two TDs.
Isaiah McPherson was the
Grizzlies’ leading rusher, gaining 149 yards and one TD in 11
carries.
Missy Dantic kicked five
PATs for LC.
The Grizzlies will travel to
Coffeyville on Oct. 2 to take on
the Field Kindley Golden Tornados.

believe that Labette County

portray that feel in this yearbook. Our theme was “US,”
and we carried that theme
throughout the book with primary headings of words with
the letters “US” on every page

OCT. 4 - 10
The theme for this year’s Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 4-10, will
be “Hear the Beep Where you Sleep. Every Bedroom Needs a
Working Smoke Alarm!,” reminding residents about the importance of having working smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside
each sleeping area, and on every level of the home, including the
basement.
According to statistics gathered through the National Fire Incident Reporting System, 64% of Kansas home fire deaths during
2014 resulted from fires reported at night between 11 p.m. and 7
a.m. Meanwhile, nationally three out of five fire deaths resulted
from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke
alarms.

be at least 75%. “Looks like
an uphill battle, wish people

our percentage is disappointing and I’m not very happy
about that,” Young said.
The commissioners signed

Mary and Jimmie Atkinson found themselves in a difficult situation in August. Mary spent some time in the Bartlesville hospital.
When she was discharged, she didn’t feel like she was ready to
return home quite yet. She was familiar with Home N Sight since
Jim had stayed with us in the summer of 2014 to recover from a
stroke. It had been a good experience and she knew Home N Sight
could help her get back on her feet.
Not long after Mary came to Home N Sight, Jim came down
with pneumonia and was admitted to hospital. He, too, would
need further care once he left the hospital. Jim joined Mary at
Home N Sight.
While Mary and Jim were both patients at Home N Sight, their
situations were very different. Our therapists worked with their
doctors to develop recovery plans to meet each of their unique
needs. With daily therapy sessions and ‘round the clock care, Jim
and Mary were able to return to their own home after just a few
weeks.
It’s our pleasure to serve people like the Atkinsons. Our staff
is ready to provide care and therapy to individuals and couples
whose goal is to get well and return home.
If you need assistance following illness, injury or surgery, call
Home N Sight at (620) 252-4929 for more information.
“An unfortunate set of circumstances left us both
in need of care we couldn’t get at home, so we both
went to Home N Sight. We got really good care.
They have lots of great employees who are very
accommodating. The therapy department was also
a big help. We have two sons in Coffeyville. They
visited regularly. They thought Home N Sight was
just great. We all appreciated the great care we got
at Windsor Place, but we are glad to be back in our
own home.”

apart from the others?
While other assisted living centers
impose hefty charges for routine services
like dispensing medications, assisting with
bathing and performing housekeeping duties,
Assisted Living at Windsor Place never
charges extra for these type of services.
All our wonderful amenities are included
in one affordable monthly rent payment.
You’ll never be charged additional fees for
the quality care you deserve at Windsor
Place.
So what else do we offer that other
assisted living centers don’t? We have a fulltime activity director who makes sure our
residents’ days and evenings are filled with
engaging activities and community outings.
Windsor Place also features a variety of
delicious entree options at every meal to
satisfy the taste of each resident.
Come see for yourself how you can get
more for your money. Call Sonia at (620)
251-0214 to arrange a tour of either of our
buildings.

“I’ve been living at Assisted
Living since April. My kids
said, ‘We’re going to take
you to Windsor Place so
you can have some time for
yourself.’ It has taken me a
while to get used to letting
the staff do everything for
me. I enjoy the company of
the other residents. We have
a good time. I really like all
the activities. I like to play
games and cards. There’s
always something going on. I
really enjoy it here at Assisted
Living. It’s home now.”
