The Mitchell County FSA Office will hold a County Committee Election Informational meeting at 8 a.m., in the office on June 25. To be eligible to serve on an FSA county committee, a person must participate or cooperate in a program administered by FSA, be eligible to vote in a county committee election and reside in the local administrative area where the person is nominated. Farmers and ranchers may nominate themselves or others. Organizations representing minorities and women also may nominate candidates. To become a candidate, an eligible individual must sign the nomination form, FSA-669A. The form and other information about FSA county committee elections are available at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/ elections . Nomination forms for the 2014 election must be postmarked or received in the local USDA Service Center by close of business on Aug. 1, 2014. Elections will take place this fall.

Members serve three-year terms. Nationwide, there are about 7,800 farmers and ranchers serving on FSA county committees. Committees consist of three to 11 members that are elected by eligible producers. FSA will mail ballots to eligible voters beginning Nov. 3, 2014.

Open Meeting meeting draws crowd By Rick Horn Rick Horn photo Hanna Keelen representative Lonnie Dixon explains a future Land Use map Thursday. An Open House meeting Thursday to discuss the purpose and progress of the City’s Comprehensive Plan turned personal from some rural landowner’s living in what they called the city’s “sphere of influence.” Nearly a year in the making, city leaders call the Comprehensive Plan an essential tool to guide the development of Beloit. A core group at Thursday’s meeting were vocal about their personal property rights being at stake. Discussion centered on future land use supported in the Comprehensive Plan. Lonnie Dixon, a representative of Hanna Keelen Associated, PC., the planning consult hired to assist the city in the development of the plan, said by state statute, “the City could select to govern a planning jurisdiction up to three miles outside its corporate city limit boundary.” Currently he said the city regulates land use only within the corporate city limits, he said. The Comprehensive Plan designates an official “Planning Jurisdiction” up to three miles of the Corporate Limits, to allow for conducting appropriate comprehensive land use planning and development activities for the city’s potential future growth. Developers also suggest the Plan should encourage the preservation and protection of environmental resources while supporting both development opportunities and the preservation of agricultural lands in the Three-Mile Planning Jurisdiction of Beloit. Several of those attending the meeting said the City should concentrate on growth from within the city. Overall crop quality good By Rick Horn Early reports indicate the winter wheat harvest in Mitchell County is producing a quality crop so far, but overall yields are down. Yields in the Beloit area are spotty all over, with farmers cutting any where from 15 to 30 bushels an acre. Test weights at the Farmway Coop in Beloit are said to be good with quality crop weighing in between 5761 pounds per bushel. Harvest reports from the Farmway facility in Hunter show moisture levels between 11 and 13.5 percent with yields between 12 and 40 bushels per acres. Test weights at Hunter are also showing quality returns between 58-60 pounds per bushel. It reportedly took one Hunter area farmer more than a half day of cutting to fill on semi load. As of Wednesday, the 2014 wheat Rick Horn photo Rail work A Concordia-based maintenance crew for Kyle Railroad was in Beloit last week fixing a section of track near Farmway Coop on South Hersey they said was damaged by a snow plow this winter. Money may soon be available to fix the rail crossing on South Mill Street in Beloit. In May it was announced by City officials that Federal money was in place and marked to help improve the crossings at River and Hersey street crossings. The improvements are expected to include drop arms and lights. By Barbara Axtell BELOIT — Monday’s Friendship Meal will be on Monday, June 9.

DeVore honored On Wednesday, the Mitchell County Fair Board dedicated the show arena at the Mitchell County Fairgrounds in honor of Eddie DeVore, the longtime Beloit High School Ag instructor and FFA sponsor. DeVore was a strong supporter of the fair and helped with the livestock judging for many years. DeVore, who retired in 2010 after a 40 year teaching career, died April 23. At left, DeVore is pictured during the 2007 edition of the Mitchell County Fair judging then-Beloit student Jamie Beldon on her 4-H calf entry. This year’s fair is scheduled for Aug. 7-9. This week the Mitchell County Board of Commissioners appointed Courtney Murrow as the new Mitchell County Health Department Administrator. Murrow will begin her new duties July 7, replacing Sondra Hone, who resigned earlier this year. Murrow currently works at the Mitchell County Hospital Health Systems. She has a Bachelor of Nursing degree and is originally from Iowa. She lives south of Cawker City with husband Luke who farms. The Commissioners thanked Health Department employees Becky Davies and Kristen Kadel for helping with the interview process along with Gayle Haney and Sue Hoestje who are on the County’s Health Board. Page 2 General News Friday, June 20, 2014 Allegro Music Club meets Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar My husband of four years insists on keeping a picture of his cat as the screensaver on his cellphone. Occasionally, he’ll switch it out for a photo of one of his kids, but the cat always comes back as the “top dog.” It’s never a picture of me. “Fluffy” also enjoys the top priority in other areas of our life. For instance, the day I had major surgery, my husband dropped me off at the front door of the hospital and then took Fluffy to the vet and spent the day with her. I am not ranting about some minor grievance. I was in surgery for seven hours, so this was serious. The cat gets better treatment than I do and a lot more affection. If it weren’t for my allergies, Fluffy would be sleeping with us. Even so, I’ve awakened to find the cat’s rear end next to my face. I find this disgusting. I even have to wait to use the bathroom to get ready for work, because my husband and Fluffy are having “bonding time.” I do not feel this is normal behavior. I think it’s an unhealthy relationship with a pet. I have attempted to discuss this with my husband several times without success. He has had Fluffy for six years and obviously prefers interacting with her to spending time with me. Why he needs a wife, I haven’t a clue. Any suggestions? -Fluffy’s Competition We agree that this seems to be an unusually close attachment. The screensaver is the least of your problems. The fact that your husband would rather console his cat while you are undergoing a seven-hour surgery indicates skewed priorities. And the “bonding time” in the bathroom is raising all kinds of questions. What, exactly, are they doing in there that you cannot use the room? In any event, your husband is more attached to Fluffy than he is to you and values her companionship more. This is unlikely to change. We recently buried my mother and held a service in celebration of her life. There was a visitation one hour prior to the service. I cannot count the number of people who *** What is more beautiful than a road? It is the symbol and the image of an active, varied life. --George Sand Published Monday, Wednesday and Friday, except on New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Rick Horn, General Manager/Editor Sharon Sahlfeld, Sports Editor Rick Larson, Circulaton Rhonda Claussen, Production came through the line and said, “I bet you don’t know who I am” or “I know you remember me” and then stood there grinning while they waited to see whether I could guess their name. Annie, my sister and I live out of state and hadn’t seen these people in more than 20 years. When I couldn’t recall their names, they acted hurt. Please, folks, at a memorial service, just put out your hand, introduce yourself and say how you knew the deceased. You are precious to come and pay tribute to anyone who has passed away, but do make it easy on a family that is grieving. This is a stressful time, and those who tried to make us play guessing games only made it harder. Also, if you have a story you want to share, please remember that the time for the visitation is limited. Instead, consider calling a week or so after the service. I’m lonely now and would love to hear your remembrance. -- R. Thank you for reminding people that a forthright and simple approach is best. People often become awkward and uncomfortable when confronted with those in mourning and sometimes blurt out insensitive things. I read the letter from “Feeling Helpless,” whose friend screams at her husband nonstop. That could have been me. I yelled at my husband at the top of my lungs because he made me so angry and frustrated. The reason was that he would check out every woman he saw. It didn’t matter that his teenage children were with him. I finally survived by ignoring his behavior. I just considered that he was a jerk (and still is). -- Hope for the Helpless Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Dixon said the Comprehensive Plan concentrates on maximizing development in existing land areas served by municipal infrastructure, including the development of vacant lots with the Corporate Limits of Beloit. According to the plan, there are approximately 944 acres of vacant land with the Corporate Limits of Beloit.

In early May, the Kansas Wheat Commission said projections for the hard red winter wheat crop would be the poorest in 13 years, following a state wheat quality tour. The overall Kansas wheat yield as estimated to be 33.2 bushels per acre, much lower than the five-year average of 41/ 8 bushels per acre. The estimate is the lowest since 2001 when the projected average yield s 32.7 bushels per acre state-wide. The KWC estimates this year’s crop tot produce 260.2 million bushels, the lowest estimate since 2011. It could be the lowest production year since 1996 when Kansas farmers harvested a total of 255.2 million bushels. asked if the County Auditor, who was in Beloit last week, found any problems with the County’s finances. County Clerk Chris Treaster said, “It was the shortest audit we ever had with no problems found.” The Auditor will be back in Mitchell County the second week of August to work on the County’s budget. “He has helped us a tremendous amount and is very good about explaining the budget so we can understand it,” Treaster said. Next on the agenda was Communications Director Becky Schaefer. She reported on Sunday, June 8 the County’s 13 year old repeater located near Hunter quit working. Henry Pierce was called and replaced two modules for the repeater at a cost of $900. Two out of the three repeaters were bad. Also, Schaefer said both CAD (Orbital Computer) workstations at the Dispatch Center that run the driver’s license records use Windows XP and are outdated. Schaefer requested taking bids to replace the hardware to get the computers up to date, with a complete change-out on the towers for two work stations. Both have new monitors which will not need to be replaced. The Commissioners unanimously approved the request. Schaefer said she usually seeks local bids so the supplier is available in case of an emergency. She would also like to have Computer Solutions install the new towers so they can make sure the programs are installed properly. Public Works Director Larry Emerson reported eight applications have been picked up for the department’s open position.

Treaster reported she is getting ready for the primary election in August and the general election in November. She requested that persons interested in serving on the election boards let her know. “It is a great job,” she said. Workers receive minimum wage for the work. Treaster also pointed out that anyone can vote early in the Clerk’s Office, starting 20 days prior to the election or ballots can be mailed to those unable to come to the office.

Rosslyn Schultz – Grassroots Art Center By Ron Wilson, director of the Huck Boyd National Institute for Rural Development Self-taught art. Visionary art. Primitive art. Outsider art. Naïve art. Recycled art. Trash art. Contemporary folk art. Raw art. Intuitive art. Marginal art. There are many names worldwide for the type of creative endeavour which I am describing today, but perhaps the best umbrella term might be “grassroots art.” Grassroots art, a term coined by Kansan Greg Blasdal, refers to spontaneous, unique, and sometimes outlandish yard environments. Our state’s center for grassroots art is found in rural Kansas. Rosslyn Schultz is the director of the Grassroots Arts Center in Lucas, Kansas. She went to K-State and met and married a farmer near Lucas. As a wheat farmer’s wife, she was creating wheat weavings. She found others in Lucas who wanted to promote art in area schools. Then a unique opportunity came along. A collection of limestone sculptures from Inez Marshall became available. In 1991, local entities at Lucas formed the nonprofit Lucas Arts and Humanities Commission to purchase the Marshall collection. Inez Marshall had been injured in a serious trucking accident in 1933 and started carving limestone sculptures. She did so for the next 50 years. She displayed her distinctive carved structures at the nearby rural town of Portis, population 120 people. Now, that’s rural. After Inez Marshall passed, her sculptures went up for auction. Eventually they ended up in Lucas where three downtown limestone buildings were acquired where her collection and other unique types of outsider, recycled art could also be displayed. That was the beginning of the Grassroots Art Center. Volunteers worked thousands of hours renovating the buildings downtown. In 1995, the Grassroots Arts Center opened in Lucas. Lucas already had a bit of a reputation for off-beat art, because it was the home of the Garden of Eden – a collection of unusual concrete figures created by eccentric businessman S.P Dinsmoor, as we have previously profiled. However, the Grassroots Art Center has its own collection of remarkable artifacts from contemporary local artists. It began exhibiting four local artists with yard environments plus the Inez Marshall collection. Today the Grassroots Arts Center features more than 20 artists in permanent and rotating exhibits. What is the common theme of these works of art? One description would be quirky. It is truly grassroots, self-taught art, usually created from recyled materials by someone of retirement age. For example, Herman Divers started making things out of the pulltabs which we used to get off the top of aluminum cans. He created a full-size motorcycle using 179,200 pulltabs. A Model T car is made of hundreds of thousands more. When pulltabs were no longer available, he made things with buttons strung on fishing line. Jim Dickerman created whimsical figures of people and animals using scrap metal and spare parts from cars, trucks, tractors and farm implements. Janet Fish makes one-of-a-kind dolls from recycled clothing, foam insulation, and more. Farmer Adolph Hanneman carved hundreds of depictions of people’s faces in wood during the last 20 years of his life. M. T. Liggett created more than 500 scrap metal totem poles. At age 84, Warren Ling of Cawker City started carving figures and totems of people from dead trees. Betty Milliken painted hundreds of miniature portraits on chewing gum, dried grapefruit peel and Styrofoam meat trays. Ed Root embellished his farmstead with concrete sculptures embedded with broken glass, stones and metal. All of these artists and other regional environments have been featured at the Grassroots Art Center. “We’ve never found any two yard environments the same,” Rosslyn Schultz said. “It’s always so interesting. These are genuine Kansans doing their thing. They are creating artwork, not for a commercial market, but to satisfy a creative urge.” For more information, go to http://www.grassrootsart.net/ . Whatever this is called, it is definitely grassroots. We commend Rosslyn Schultz and all those involved with the Grassroots Art Center for making a difference by honoring these artists and sharing their distinctive works of artistry. They are ordinary people creating extraordinary art. And there’s more. Lucas is also home to what has been described as the world’s most artsy public toilet. We’ll learn about that next week.
