State lawmakers hear county concerns
Tax lid and
unfunded mandates
are main issues
for local officials
BY RENA RUSSELL
LABETTE AVENUE
State Sen. Jeff King and State Rep.
Richard Proehl heard major concerns
expressed during their appearance at
Monday’s county commission meeting.
Several of those addressing the
state lawmakers, including the commissioners, spoke strongly about the
mandates from state government
while lacking local funds to implement them.
Specifically, Commissioner Lonie
Addis asked about the tax lid passed
by the Kansas Legislature earlier this
year --- one that requires local officials to hold elections if property tax
increases exceed the rate of inflation.
Although the measure was designed
to provide a public check on expenses, most local officials across Kansas
believe the mandate will be nearly
impossible to implement.
Both King and Proehl said the
measure was introduced in the final
budget debate, and it came with the
final budget bill which passed on the
final day of the legislative session.
King said he actually abstained
from the vote, but Proehl said it was
“the lesser of evils” --- as passage of
the larger budget became a higher issue.
Neither Proehl nor King believe
the 2016 session of the Kansas Legislature will correct many of these issues. “I’d say it will be 2017 before
anything will happen,” said Proehl.
Addis said it would make budget
planning quite difficult for county
commissioners and other elected officials at the local level.
Sheriff Sims concurred, saying it
The property tax lid portion of the
budget bill actually was proposed by often requires a deputy to be assigned
Sen. Jacob LaTurner of Baxter Springs to work alongside mental health
workers, which is an additional exas an amendment to the final bill.
pense to the county.
Atteberry was concerned about
what he called a “moratorium on state
funds for mental health services.”
State slows
the process in
bridge building
Labette County Public Works Director Sandy Krider expressed concern about excessive bridge inspections that the state is mandating.
She said such mandates are made
without providing any funds to help
build these bridges.
She gave the example of the county recently building a bridge that cost
$175,000, and no state or federal
money was utilized. The county paid
all the expense.
“This means the county is showing
up with deficiencies,” she said.
Krider noted that with 298 bridges
in the county, many of them used by
farmers to get to their fields, it is difficult to stay up with inspections that
show needed repairs.
“A lot of farmers depend upon
these roads, but state mandated load
ratings keep them off many bridges,”
she said.
The way Krider looks at it: If a
bridge does pass inspection, either fix
it or close it.
Proehl said he will take that concern to Topeka when the session begins on Jan. 11.
Cutbacks affect
mental health care
Similar concerns were expressed
by Matt Atterberry who heads Labette
County Mental Health Services, and
by Sheriff Robert Sims.
Atteberry said with many state
services being cut back, it is making
it difficult to handle local case mental
health case loads.
More 911 funds
are requested
Labette County 911 Coordinator
Brandy Grassl urged the lawmakers
to appropriate more funds to help
with local emergency communications.
She said with Next Generation 911
requirements, there will be a need for
user fees to be raised. Most of that
money goes for equipment, leaving no
funds for training, she said.
Both Proehl and King took notes
on all the issues raised, and promised
to look into each concern.
Local input needed
in Topeka
Commissioner Addis said local
citizens should keep their lawmakers
in Topeka informed about their concerns. Addis himself makes trips to
Topeka during the session and will be
happy to relay any of those concerns,
especially when they involve Labette
County issues.
King said he was blessed to represent three counties totaling 72,500
people. He said attending a meeting
like the one on Monday, involving
many local leaders, was a good way to
communicate local concerns.
He said citizens may email or call
him during the session, even on his
cell phone --- or text him.
“If you hear rumors that you don’t
like, just call me,” he said. “I want to
know your opinions.”
***
In other business at Monday’s
commission meeting:
• Sims and Krider gave updates
on this week’s weather and how it
has impacted roads and law enforcement.
Krider said salt trucks were out
as quickly as the icy conditions set
in, and Sims said his deputies worked
several calls where vehicles had gone
into ditches.
There were many reports of high
water and trees falling across roads.
Krider said the Neosho River
is expected to crest at 26.9 feet on
Tuesday.
• The commission signed a modification on the Big Hill road project,
extending it for six months.
Commissioners also signed bridge
inspections on four bridges with
Cook, Flatt and Strobel engineers.
• The courthouse will close at 12
noon Thursday, and the commission
will hold a year-end meeting at 8:30
on Thursday morning.
Snow, sleet
and rain give
southeast Kansas
a good hammering
A blast of frigid air blew
across southeast Kansas on Sunday evening and continued with
a snow/sleet mixture on Monday.
Up to 6 inches of rain was
reported in various points of
Labette County, and the Neosho
River was rising until Tuesday
when it crested at 26.9 ft.
By Wednesday, the storm had
moved eastward, leaving two
inches of snow on the ground
and lots of slushy roads and
highways.

long term effects on the health
of beef cattle.
Some more recent studies
in Oklahoma and Nebraska
illustrate the importance of
fetal nutrition on the subsequent performance of calves.
These studies were partially
prompted by a study of children born to mal-nourished
women in England.
Children born to these mothers
had more health problems as
adults. The Oklahoma and
Nebraska studies showed
similar results. Average daily
gains and calf health were
higher in calves born to cows
which had adequate levels of
protein and energy in the diet.
The Nebraska study took
this concept a step farther and
compared the reproductive
performance of heifers born
to cows that had been supplemented and un supplemented
while grazing corn stalks.
Heifer calves from cows that
received protein supplements
had higher pregnancy rates
than heifers from non supplemented cows. Heifers from
supplemented cows had a
pregnancy rate of 93% compared to 80% for heifers out of
non-supplemented cows.
In addition, heifers from
supplemented cows calved
earlier in the calving season,
77% in the first 21 days, compared to heifers from non supplemented cows, 49% calved
in the first 21 days.
Knowing the protein and
energy density of the hay or
forage you are feeding is essential in determining if supplemental feed is needed and
if so how much. A forage sampler is available in our office
to use for taking samples and
with that information I can assist you planning a nutrition
program that can meet the
needs of your cows during this
critical time.

Well, Christmas is over and
it’s that time of year that we
begin to think about the New
Year. Moreover, it’s a time to
reflect on 2015, and perhaps,
resolve to do things differently
in 2016……yes, it’s time for
those New Year’s Resolutions.
I don’t typically create resolutions; however, there are
certainly many areas where I
could use improvement. One
example is my propensity for
procrastination. I delude myself by saying that I work better under the pressure, but
in reality, I just tend to put
things off until the last minute. I’ve given many presentations where I was composing

Nutrition during last trimester critical for beef cows
A big factor in determining
the health of a new born calf
and the performance of the
cow and calf after birth is the
nutrition of the cow and fetus
during the last ninety days of
gestation. Over seventy five
percent of the growth of the
fetus occurs during this time.
The amount of crude protein and energy needed to support fetal growth and preparing the cow for birth increases
from mid gestation to late
gestation by about twenty five
percent. (1.6# of crude protein
to 2.0# of crude protein, 11#
of TDN to 13.7# of TDN). The
dry matter intake of the cow
during this period increases
by about fifteen percent, but
not enough in most cases to
make up for the shortfall in
protein and energy of the
diet. The minimum nutrient
density of the total diet on a
dry matter basis (forage plus
supplement if any) needs to be
somewhere around 7% crude
protein and 50% TDN for the
middle third of gestation and
8% crude protein and 54%
TDN during the last trimester.
Meeting the protein and
energy targets mentioned
above make it possible for the
beef cow to calve in a body
condition score of five or six. A
cow in a body score of five will
be smooth over her spine and
vertebrae and only her last
two ribs will be visible. A cow
with a body condition score of
six will be even smoother with
no ribs showing. Cows that
calve in good body condition
(5 or 6) give more milk and return to estrus sooner, allowing
them to have a calf every 365
days.
Calves born to cows in
good body condition are able
to better regulate their body
heat and to stand and nurse
more quickly. This results in
the calf getting colostrum into
their bodies more quickly. Research studies have shown
that intake of colostrum has

Saying a special prayer for 2016
We’re looking foward to a new year, and praying
that good things will come to the surface for our nation, our state and our local communities. I recently
watched the movie, “War Room,” and I’m convinced
more than ever that prayer will lead all of us into
better situations for our lives. So, here’s my prayer
for you, dear readers, that 2016 will find you happy,
hopeful and contented!
Lots of ‘Tyler time’

Thoughts to get us into 2016
Our Christmas guests on Saturday
were the Wilders from Derby - David, Jeanette, Jaycie, Trenten and Tyler; Jordan
and Kenzie Russell; and Mona Rathmel,
Chloe and Emma, Dallas, Texas.
Due to the weather forecast heading to
the Wichita area, the Wilders left for home
Sunday morning. It’s always a blessing to
have everyone here and celebrate Christmas. Hope you made it a great day, too.

Life’s Little Lifesavers

The ticking clock on New Year’s Eve
brings hope if we’ll just go for it
Let’s start over.
The year 2015 was replete with disappointing economic news, embarrassing presidential
candidates and an inept Kansas governor who
drove our state ship into a muddy bog.
So, as we flip the calendar to 12 new pages,
let’s look at better days in all parts of our bodies, minds and souls.
No doubt, there was a good reason why
Julius Ceasar arranged one sunrise every year
when earthlings would reset their days and
ways.
He came up with the modern calendar because human beings, left to their regimens,
invariably turn into sloths, curmudgeons and
non-newspaper readers.
Given a starting date — say January 1 —
they take deep breaths, repent from getting
their news from TVs and computers, and promise to subscribe to a great local newspaper as
their information source.
We think some enlightening ideas are needed to brighten our 2016 to make everyone forget Donald Trump, the KU football season and
the email server in Hillary’s bathroom.
By staying up until midnight and watching
the Times Square ball lower to its nest, maybe
we’ll all be in better shape to enhance our national resolve, enrich our cultural tastes and
sharpen the way we say the words that link us
to each other.
Maybe we’ll listen more intently as others
speak, and envision the best in every person
we meet. Perhaps we will think before speaking. And if we really want to impress someone,
become an avid newspaper reader — a real kibitzer of intellect.
Or, we can do nothing differently at all.
We can just hope 2016 is exactly like 2015.
No better, no worse.
We are hoping everyone wants a solid future, one that is full of promise and lacking the
disappointments of yesteryear.
That’s why the tick, tick, tick of the clock on
Dec. 31 beckons.
Our tomorrows will be determined by how
we face the morning light on New Year’s Day.
And, our newspaper promises to be right in the
big middle of it all.

Go through life with a little smile
I recently saw a quote on
Facebook that wasn’t attributed to anyone but I certainly
wish I had thought of it first.
“Behind every favorite song
there is an untold story.” That
is true for those that really listen to music. I’m not talking
about enjoying the beat or loving the artist and everything
they do. I’m talking about truly
hearing the music; enjoying the
talent behind each chord, feeling the emotion rendered in
each verse, and soaking in the
intricacies of the melody.
Recently, I’ve been watching a lot of “Later with Jools
Holland.” It’s a music show on
Palladia where Holland lends
his studio to musicians of all
genres to perform. I love it
because it takes me out of my
musical box and turns me on to
bands I might never have found
otherwise. Of course, some of
my favorite bands have been
on the show and that’s always
a treat.
While watching an episode
of the show I was thrilled to
Heather
Brown
Staff writer
heather
@taylornews.org
find that Kings of Leon was
scheduled to perform. At the
moment they are my favorite
band and I love everything they
do. I have to admit, I’m not always listening with my soul.
Sometimes I’m just enjoying
the rhythm and not even hearing the words, but they do have
some fantastic lyrics.
Kings of Leon performed followed by Eric Clapton and then
an older blues singer named
Mavis and several other bands.
The musicians are staged in
a semi-circle and each band
gets to enjoy the other bands’
performances, and enjoy them
they do. You often see a guitarist’s hands sliding up and down
the neck of his guitar during
another band’s song finding
the chords and playing along
in silence. It’s wonderful to see
the respect and love born from
a shared passion.
Maybe the world should
be more like Holland’s show.
If we were all enjoying each
other’s successes and mourning each other’s losses a little
more deeply maybe we could
bring more harmony to this
planet.
If we were searching in our
life for a way to harmonize
with those around us maybe
we could find joy in each day
more easily. If we stayed present for the performances of
those around us maybe we
would understand them more
clearly.
In the new year no matter
where your life’s path goes,
follow it with a smile on your
face.
Try to uplift those around
you and when all else fails
listen to some Kings of Leon.
It always puts me in a better
frame of mind!

some decorate their homes.

Greek people eat a specially prepared cake with a coin

first piece of the cake is left for
baby Jesus, the second for a
father of a house and the third
for a home. If the coin is found
in the third slice, the family

There are a few phrases uttered every year
in our house around Christmas. My guess is
similar words are said in kitchens, living rooms,
and cars full of families across the country.
It starts early in the season with things like
this:
“Did you see the Christmas lights on that
house down the street? I still have pumpkins
in the yard!”
“Have you talked to your family about when
we’re doing Christmas? It’ll be here before we
know it!”
And, “There are only eight weekends before
Christmas. I have to start on my shopping!”
Then as the Thanksgiving turkey is still
cooling, some familiar words flutter through
the air:
“Is it worth fighting the crowds for Black
Friday sales?”
“We need to get our Christmas decorations
up NOW!”
“Have you planned anything with your family yet? We can’t make plans until you do!”
Finally as the Christmas day arrives, the
things heard in our house are heard year after
year:
“Is it weird to turn the air conditioner on?
I’m burning up!”
“Oh no…there is one more box for the older
kid to open than the younger one. Do you think
he’ll notice?”
“I finally was able to text mom about
Christmas plans and all I got back was, ‘Woine
82ndoo peacock.’ Her phone is obviously in the
bottom of her purse.”
And as we put away the decorations this
past week, I uttered all-too-familiar words:
“We’re not decorating as much next year…
keep it simple!”
“Someday we’re going to build a room for
all our decorations so we don’t have to haul
them up to the attic.”
“Everything looks so big and clean now that
the decorations are gone.”
“Some year we’re going away for Christmas…won’t that be fun?”
“I’m so glad you finally got in touch with
your family. It was good to have everyone together.”
“I wonder how many more holidays we’ll
have with her…we have to
make each one count.”
“Your dad would have
loved to watch the kids
open gifts. He was just a
big kid himself! I wonder
if he could see it all from
Heaven?”
“Ugh…we are never
eating again!”
“Honey, do you know where that leftover
dessert is?”
The words in your house may not be exactly the same. Some people have their shopping done by the Fourth of July and keep designated dates on the calendar for putting their
tree up and family gatherings every year. But
in most houses, our holidays are a little more
hectic, the emotions a little more on edge, and
the plans a bit more up in the air.
That’s okay though because the Spirit of
Christmas somehow depends on even the loudest, craziest, messed up families and we pull
it together for a few hours, days, or (shudder)
weeks.
The words may be repeated year after
year, but so are the feelings, which is why we
do it all over again and never quite get the
plans made for that Christmas away

message at Oswego church
Sunday country breakfast
The First Southern Baptist
Church in Oswego began our
service with prayer requests
and prayers for the many concerns members had. Pastor
Eddie Williamson’s sermon
title was “How In the World
Did I Get Here?” based on the
eleventh chapter of Second
Samuel. Even though King
David was a man after God’s
own heart, he ended up in a
place where he never should
have been. First, King David
had become complacent. He
had lost his passion and had
not gone to war with his army
as he should have done. Second, he became careless with
his mind and heart when he
saw Bathsheba and invited
her to his palace. Third, he
compromised his moral values
resulting in adultery and murder. Fourth, he suffered the
consequences of his behavior
in the death of his son and the
remorse he suffered. When
he repented, God saw him
through the consequences.
But it is never too late to stop
and commit yourself to God.
The Women’s Missionary Union met on Dec. 20 at
Carolyn Edward’s home. The
group enjoyed refreshments
and a gift exchange. Bonnie
Wilson presented the prayer
calendar and Carolyn Edwards presented the lesson on
the importance of water.
Our church plans to begin
some in-home meetings for
a study of Revelation. If you
would like to take part, let
Pastor Eddie know so study
books can be ordered.
On Jan. 3, missionaries
Greg and Susie York will be in
charge of our song and worship service.
We would like to extend an
invitation to everyone to join
our fellowship at 9:30 a.m. for
breakfast and Sunday school
with church following at 10:45
a.m. The church is located at
1128 North Street in Oswego.

Conservation easement applications
now being accepted
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is now accepting
applications for the Agricultural Conservation Easement
Program (ACEP). This program, created under the 2014
Farm Bill, provides funding for
the purchase of conservation
easements to help productive
farm and ranch land remain in
agriculture and protect critical
wetlands and grasslands.
Kansas state conservationist Eric B. Banks said, “Conservation easements provide
many public benefits to Kansans, including protection of
open spaces, wildlife habits,
and wetland preservation. We
encourage private landowners, Indian tribes, and nongovernmental organizations to
contact their local NRCS office
to apply.” There are two programs under ACEP, each with
a different application process.
Visting the NRCS office will ensure the applicant gets directions on the correct application process.
The goal of ACEP is to protect land devoted to food production and wildlife habitat
from being converted to nonagricultural uses. ACEP is a
voluntary program for landowners or tribal governments
that allows them to leave a
conservation heritage for their
family and community. Landowners can chose between the
ACEP-Agricultural Land Easements (ALE) or ACEP-Wetland
Reserve Easements (WRE)
enrollments options.
ALEs
protect the long-term viability
of the nation’s food supply by
preventing conversion of productive working lands to nonagricultural uses. The WRE
component provides habitat
for fish and wildlife, including
threatened and endangered
species; improve water quality by filtering sediments and
chemicals; reduce flooding; recharge groundwater; and pro-
tect biological diversity
In 2014, approximately
$4.4 million in combined fianancial and technical assistance
was obligated, with 4,869
acres enrolled (latest compiled
figures) in Kansas.
NRCS provides technical and financial assistance
directly to private and tribal
landowners to restore, protect,
and enhance wetlands through
the purchase of conservation
easements. Eligible landowners can choose to enroll in a
permanent or 30-year easement. Tribal landowners also
have the option of enrolling in
30-year contracts.
NRCS staff will work
with applicants to help them
through the application process and provide one-onone assistance to create the
conservation easement that
works best for their farming or
ranching operation.
All WRE applications will
be rated according to the easement’s potential for protecting
and enhancing habitat for migratory birds, fish and other
wildlife.
Eligible applicants
will be compensated with a
payment rate comparable to
the local land use value. Those
rates are posted on the Kansas
NRCS Web site.
It is important that applicants provide accurate records
of ownership and ensure they
have established a record of
ownership with USDA’s Farm
Service Agency. Application
information is available at
your local USDA Service Center and at www.nrcs.usda.gov/
GetStarted.
Applications can be submitted at any time, but to be
considered for 2016 funding
opportunities, applications in
Kansas must be received by
January 15, 2016. Applications are currently being accepted for both agricultural
land and wetlands reserve
easements.

Chetopa senior citizens
boast new sign
We had a beautiful day
for gathering together for our
carry in dinner. We always say
the Pledge of Allegiance to the
flag and then Ron Downing
prayed over the meal.
Dixie and Ray Collins took
it on themselves to decide
how to make our new sign for
the Chetopa Senior Citizens
building. They not only found
someone to make it but also
the city boys to mount it on the
building. When you go whizzing by on Main Street check
out our Christmas present of a
new sign.
After a delicious dinner,
Jane Becker had a game for
us to play. Then we celebrated
Christmas by singing carols
played by Irene Elmore. Cheryl Dugan is now in charge of
Meals on Wheels and decorated our meeting place wonderfully. We do thank Dixie and
Ray Collins, Jane Becker and
Cheryl Dugan for making our
senior citizens center a good
place to be.

Seventy is the new 55,
or at least I’m planning on it
I stepped over the “70”
line a few days ago, and so
far it’s a good ride.
When I was a little boy,
I heard my Grandmother
Walker tell my Grandmother Taylor, “I’m turning 70
this year, to which my other
grandma laughed with this
response, “Well, I’m still in
my 60s!”
They looked old and wore
granny dresses. They had
endured two world wars, the
Great Depression and lots of
poverty as they grew up in
the hills of the Cherokee Nation.
So, this morning I spent
an extra minute or two
staring into the mirror as I
shaved.
I looked for wrinkles and
crows’ feet, and found them.
I turned my head side to
side trying to hide my bald
head, and couldn’t lose it.
I tried flexing my arm
muscles. So disappointing.
And, I stood sideways to
check my profile. Same old
guy that I’ve known for all
these decades.
Then, I walked into the
living room where our three
children and six grandchildren were playing games on
the floor, awaiting our traditional Christmas spaghetti
supper.
Suddenly, it didn’t matter whether I was 70 or 30.
There was life in that room
that Kathy and I had a part
in creating.

one of 3 LAA’s in the county.
The position term is 3 years,
with a maximum of 3 terms.
COC members make decisions on disaster and conservation programs, emergency
programs, commodity price
support programs, and other
agricultural issues. They also
supervise the County Executive Director.
Activity around the office
lately has been focused on
farm reconstitutions. There
were many farm record
changes for us to catch up on
and the staff is working to get
those completed before we begin 2016 ARCPLC enrollment
in January. ARCPLC enrollment runs through Aug. 1. We
are also conducting CRP General Signup #49. This signup
period began Dec. 1 and runs
through Feb. 26, 2016. Land
not currently enrolled in CRP
may be offered for enrollment, as well as land with CRP
contracts expiring on Sept.
30, 2016. Some of the General practices popular in Labette County have been CP25

CP2 (Establishment of Native
Grasses), CP1 (Establishment
of Introduced Grasses), CP3A
(Hardwood Tree Planting),
and the newer CP42, Pollinator Habitat. Contact the office
to find out how to begin this
process.

Agriculture is up to the task
By John Schlageck, Kansas Farm Bureau
The end of agriculture in
America is near. American
agriculture will soon lose its
competitive edge.
The high costs of producing food in America, compared with the costs in other
countries, are pushing American producers out of business
as competitors around the
world develop enough to serve
the same markets. Overseas
producers with lower input
costs will increasingly be able
to undersell American producers.
Critics of American agriculture contend that crop
yields will not keep up with
population growth. Some predict by the year 2050, arable
American farmland will decrease by nearly 200 million
acres.
They also say water will
become scarcer for agriculture, forcing a shift of farming
to regions where rainfall is
plentiful. Marginal rainfall regions like the western half of
Kansas, eastern Colorado and
the panhandles of Oklahoma
and Texas may be destined to
revert back to grassland.
Should this happen, the
United States will cease to be
a food exporter. Our new diet
will contain less meat and
dairy products, more grains
and beans and a sparser variety of vegetables.
Are these starling new
revelations or are they predictions of those totally out
of touch with the business of
farming and ranching?
It is hard for farmers and
ranchers to stomach such
predictions especially at this
point in history when American agriculture remains the
envy of the world.
There is no doubt agriculture, like the rest of the U.S.
economy, will continue to face
challenges. True, this country
is already impacted by higher
input costs, dwindling avenues of trade and the constant
wrath of Mother Nature.
In spite of these challenges, farmers and ranchers
remain dedicated to staying
on the land and continuing in
their chosen vocation. They,
better than anyone, understand the land they depend on
for their livelihood is finite.
Care for this critical resource continues to improve.
Today’s farmers are increasing their organic matter in the
soil. With the continuing practice of no-till and reduced tillage farming, farmers continue
to build organic matter and
improve the soil tilth. There
is no reason to consider this
practice will be discontinued.
New and improved crop
varieties are continually coming down the pike. Production
practices continue to evolve
and improve.
As for the question of
scarce water, this is always
a major concern in farm and
ranch country. Producers constantly chart rainfall amounts
and monitor weather conditions. In Kansas, farmers are
aware of changes in the Ogallala Aquifer.
They are tuned into water
and the conservation of this
vital resource. Some, especially in the western half of
the state are concerned about
the potential of long-term climate change. If such a phenomenon should occur, there
is the possibility Kansas could
become more arid – more like
New Mexico, for example.
Barring a major shift in
our climate, crops will continue to be planted in western
Kansas. Production could be
less than now, but this land
will be farmed and farmed
50% Off All
Christmas
wisely.
Without question, today’s
crop of agricultural detractors raises some interesting
possibilities. But American
agriculture is up to the task.
This country has the minds,
machinery and dedication to
continue producing for people
around the globe.

and raised on a diversified

“You may receive a one time
payment of $255 when a family
member dies, depending on your
relationship to them and how long
they have worked. Generally, only
surviving spouses and children of
deceased workers qualify for the
one-time death benefit. In addition,
the deceased family member must
have worked long enough to be
insured under Social Security, but it
doesn’t matter if they were already
collecting Social Security or not.”
(Source; www.socialsecuritydeathbenefit.org)
For A
Wonderful
New Year!
It is always wise to contact
the local Social Security office
when a family member dies to
learn if anyone is eligible for
additional death benefits. Usually, a certified death certificate
is unnecessary after the funeral
home submits a Statement of
Death form to the local Social
Security office.

Parents play an important role in shaping adolescent’s behavior

Adolescence is often thought
to be from ages 13 to 18, but
current research is more
likely to consider 10 to 25 an
adolescent due to continued
brain development. Many parents of adolescents might find
themselves asking “Does my
child care what I think?” The
answer is your child probably
cares a great deal about what
you think. You play an important role in shaping your adolescent’s behavior. Teens who
• Family issues--Teens want to participate in decisions and be told about family
problems.
• Controversial Issues--Teens have questions like “Why can’t I drink until I’m 21?”
• Emotional Concerns--Teens want to
know how you really feel about things.
• The Big Why’s--Teens begin to have
philosophical questions about issues like
war and religion.
• The Future--Teens are curious and concerned about what they can expect from
the future.
• Current Events--Teens have questions
about what is going on in the world and
in their community.
• Personal Interests--Teens really want
you to show interest in their activities,
music, sports, and friends.
• Parents’ Lives--Teens are curious about
what things were like when you were

their age, including emotions you had and
mistakes you made.
All she wants to do is go out with her
friends and spend time alone in her room.
How can I talk with my teen?
• Don’t lecture, talk for hours, or ambush
your teen.
• If your teen tells you a secret, keep it.
• Listen carefully to her concerns and
feelings, and respect her views. Teens are
often afraid of being lectured, punished,
or not understood.
• Stress that your teenager can and
should make choices about his behaviors,
and is responsible for these decisions.
• Offer praise. Make a date to spend oneon-one time with your teen. Find something you both like to do.

say their parents warned them
about drug use and set clear
rules are less likely to use
drugs. Parents’ and teenagers’
morals, future aspirations,
and self-control are typically
quite similar. Talking encourages family togetherness and
increases the likelihood teens
will share parents’ values.
What kinds of things do
teenagers want to talk about?
Generally, teenagers are interested in the following conversations:
• Tell your teen you love him. With all the
changes he’s going through, he needs to
hear it now more than ever.
Are you really listening to
your adolescent?
Your messages to your adolescent may not be as clear as
you think. To make sure you
and your child are having the
same conversation, communication should be interactive.
Ask your adolescent what she
wants to talk about. Adolescents often feel their parents
aren’t listening and dominate
conversations. Many parents
believe they are talking to
their kids about drugs; unfortunately, the majority of kids
don’t remember these conversations. Parents need to be
ready to talk when teens are,
and not just when it is convenient for them.
Choose your battles.
Research shows only about
1 in 15 families have serious
conflict that is harmful to the
parent- adolescent relationship. Typically, parents and
adolescent argue over chores,
curfew, and appearance – issues that are really not that
important. Parents need to
choose their battles and decide
what is worth fighting about.
Keep in mind that arguments are very common in
families with teens. However,
most studies show that teens
love their parents and value
these relationships.

Nomination of Stephen Jones
for county attorney approved
The name of Stephen Jones
has been forwarded to Gov.

Attorney.
Republican Central Committee chairman Mike Howerter said 22 committee members met Monday and seven

Jones.
Jones, who currently serves

In the summer of 1927
Mound Valley, one might have
made his or her way into Aber’s Drug Store for something
cold from the soda fountain.
Information from Alan
Robinson: “My grandfather,
Ira Aber, is the man at the far
left with the glasses, Emery
Price is in the middle leaning
on the end of the counter. I
have a newspaper advertisement and article framed and
hanging on my wall that is dated Feb. 18, 1916, that is The
Rexall Store ONE CENT SALE!
It was always a Rexall Store as
far as I know.
“My grandfather employed
Emery Price, I believe, when
he finished high school. Later
he sent Emery to pharmacy
school in Kansas City and in
1948, he sold the Drug Store
to Emery and my grandfather
retired. He originally bought
the store in 1915, after having a drugstore in Hartville,
Mo., for three years where he
met my grandmother, Dorothy
Robertson.
“Price was like a son to my
grandfather since they only
had a daughter, my mother
Martha Jane.”
In an article in The Mound
Valley Journal, it stated:
“Whole Page for Drug Store”
This week’s issue of The
Mound Valley Journal contains a full page advertisement
for Aber’s drug store. A full

Jones said his top priority
will be to help fix the problems
in Labette County, not just to
send more people to prison
than anybody else or get more
convictions than anybody else.
Howerter said he had
heard nothing but good things
about Jones and believes he
will do a great job as county
attorney.
The committee hopes to receive word on the governor’s
final appointment sometime
this week.
As we start a new year…

become effective Dec. 31.
Jones told the central committee members he was appreciative of the appointment,
noting that Labette County has
a lot of great people --- its No.
1 asset.
Jones is a native of Arizona
who began working in the Labette County Attorney's office
in 2011.
He earned bachelor's degrees in history and political
science from Arizona State
University then earned his juris doctorate from Washburn
University School of Law in
Topeka.

ing out of the ordinary for the
Journal for other lines of business, but this is the first full
page ad for a drug store in our
columns since the Journal was
established more than nine
years ago, and in fact the first
we ever saw in this section of
the state.
“Ira is boosting the Rexall line with a one-cent sale
which is an innovation for this
city. But then the Mound Valley drug stores always did believe in printer’s ink - it pays
them.
“Ira has also had a film
playing at the Electric Theatre, “The Funny Man,” advertising the Parker Lucky
Curve fountain pen.

“While I enjoyed the assisted living
center I was previously at, I love it
here at Windsor Place. My daughter did some shopping around and
found Assisted Living at Windsor
Place to be more affordable and
the apartments to be larger. The
atmosphere is more active and
upbeat. They always have activities planned for us. I enjoy all the
people, residents and staff. They are
all so friendly. The whole building
is exceptionally clean and they have
the best food in the world.”
