Have a Happy and Safe Fourth of July!
Have a Happy and Safe Fourth of July! www.beloitcall.com PLEASE DON’T BLOW YOURSELF UP! CLOSED 4th & 5th TO ENGAGE IN PATRIOTIC ACTIVITIES By Rick Horn Serving the Solomon Valley since 1901 GLEN ELDER — The Waconda Lake Fireworks Association has announced the fireworks display at Waconda Lake will take place on Saturday, July 5 at dusk. Organizers say a gracious landowner is allowing the fireworks to be shot off from a great location just north of the lake. Campers, visitors, and viewers will be able to continue their firework viewing traditions just as they have done in the past. This holiday tradition will be able to continue because of all the support from local individuals, businesses, and the gracious landowner. Rainbow Fireworks from Inman, will provide North Central Kansas with a brilliant fireworks display. BELOIT — The July 4th holiday is this week, and the Kansas Highway Patrol has some important enforcement initiatives that motorists should be aware of. Now through July 10, the Patrol will be conducting a texting enforcement initiative. Troopers will be out looking for drivers who are violating Kansas’ texting law, and will be citing those observed in violation. The Kansas law states on a wireless device, drivers may not manually type, send, or read a written communication, including, but not limited to, a text message, instant message, or electronic mail. According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), texting while driving creates a crash risk 23 times greater than driving while not distracted. In 2012, an estimated 421,000 people were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver, this reflects a nine percent increase from the estimated 387,000 people injured in 2011. The Kansas Highway Patrol and local law enforcement enforce the texting law throughout the year, but this holiday period, the Patrol will place a special emphasis focused on locating those texting while driving. With the July 4th holiday, many motorists will be traveling across the nation. The Patrol will be out actively looking for impaired drivers. With many celebrations across the state, drivers should make sure they are designating a sober driver. The Patrol would also like to remind motorists to wear their seatbelts and use the correctly fitted child safety seats, as they are the best defense should you be involved in a crash. BELOIT — The Early Wellness Center in Beloit is now selling Little Caeser Pizza kits as a fundraiser. For more information, call 738-3055. BELOIT — Friendship Meals will be on Monday, July 7 This week’s meal has a Fourth of July flavor with hot dogs and hamburgers. Serving is from 5:30 to 7 p.m., at the United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall at the corner of Bell and 8th streets in Beloit. BELOIT — The Beloit Call will not publish this Friday in observance of the Fourth of July holiday weekend. By Rick Horn Despite the recommendation of the building’s owner, the Beloit City Council voted 4-3 to approve the lower window replacement bid centered around a Downtown Rehabilitation Block Grant. In May 2013, the city of Beloit was awarded a $162,693 — twothirds of the total costs — to stabilize and repair a retail building constructed in the 1890s along the 100 block of East Main in downtown Beloit. The owners will invest $58,000 — or one-third the cost of the project — in private funds. Work elements will include foundation improvements, stabilization of exterior walls and windows, and upgrading electrical wiring to comply with local code standards. The building owners and the North Central Regional Planning Commission recommended city leaders approve the $83,795 bid from Glass Services in Salina to provided Manko 725 Series All Aluminum windows for the project. But some city leaders balked at the bid difference and voted to go with a $48,305 bid from Concordia-based Geisler Roofing and Home Improvement. That bid provides Pella Architect Series with Endura Guard Wood Interior with Aluminum Clad Exterior. “The Glass Services bid doesn’t look complete,” said council member Charlene Abell. “And the Geilser bid is a lot cheaper.” “‘Cheaper’ is a good term,” said Doug McKinney, executive director of the North Central Regional Planning Commission, noting the aluminum windows have a lifetime guarantee and the wood windows come with a 15 year warranty. Abell, along with council members Bob Richard, Bob Petterson and Lloyd Littrell favored the Geisler bid, while Kent Miller, Tony Gengler and Matt Otte voted against the move.

BELOIT — The American Red Cross urges eligible blood donors to roll up a sleeve and give to help prevent a summer blood shortage. Blood donors with types O negative, B negative and A negative are especially needed. The next Blood Drive in Mitchell County is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., on July 17 at North Central Kansas Wellness Center Gym, 3033 US Hwy 24 in Beloit. Mitchell County residents are being asked to donate blood in honor of young Keller King.

GLEN ELDER – The 2014 Annual Wakonda Indian Festival is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, July 19 and Sunday July 20, at Glen Elder State Park. There will be a free park entrance or both days for those attending the annual festival, now in it’s fourth year. The Wakonda Indian Festival has grown each year offering an opportunity for those attending to experience American Indian culture through dance, drumming and historical education. The Waconda Lake area is rich in American Indian history and the Festival allows people the chance to experience that history through events and artwork on hand. “Last years event was very successful with more than 170 people attending each day,” said director and founder Sharon Hesket Sahlfeld. “We ran into a few snags, but we were fortunate to have a good crowd enjoy the festivities up to that point with no more damage than what we had. Our Indian taco people had to cancel and so we were lacking in the food department but this years festivities promise to include Indian food along with Texas Reds barbecue on both days and shaved ice on Sunday.” One and possibly two teepees will be set up on Friday night and the Mitchell County Historical Society will be setting up educational displays for the Festival. Entertainers will include Navajo, Cheyenne River Sioux, Oglala Rick Horn photos Rest stop Thirty college-aged cyclists with Bike & Build Inc. — a national non-profit organization committed to affordable housing — peddled through Beloit and Mitchell County Monday.

Ever since my early 20s, I’ve been confused about which sex I truly am. Of course, I was born a male, but my thoughts and feelings are that of a female. There is nothing about being a male that interests me. I’m thinking about getting hormone shots to become more female. I’ve lived with this issue all of my life, but maybe it’s too late for me now. Do you have any suggestions or information? -Unknown Gender It is not too late for you to work on this, and we recommend you get more information before starting hormone shots. You can find resources and support on transgender issues through the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center (gaycenter.org) and the American Psychological Association (apa.org), which can answer many of your questions and point you in the right direction. Two years ago, our youngest daughter married a wonderful young man. We adore this guy, and he is a loving and caring husband. The problem is his parents. Neither his family nor ours is wealthy, and from the early stages of wedding planning, we worked to stay within a budget. Our family is small, and his is large, which put the dinner over budget. We all met prior to the wedding, and the groom’s parents assured us they would pay for the additional guests from their side of the family. At the end of the evening, my husband paid the catering bill. The next day, the groom’s father thanked us for all of the planning and effort that went into making the day so special and added that he would be sending us a check to cover the dinner. That was two years ago, and we have yet to receive a dime. Our new son-in-law asked his father several times whether he had settled up with us, and he said he absolutely would, but it hasn’t happened. We love this young man dearly, and I’m afraid if we say anything now, he will take it upon himself to pay us, and it’s not his responsibility. My husband has worked hard his whole life, and at the age of 70, he is very set in his ways. He judges a man by his word, and now he wants nothing to do with our daughter’s in-laws. Should I send them a note asking them to pay, even after all this time? I’m afraid that when future grandchildren come, it will be tense and unpleasant to be around each other because of this unpaid bill. -- Sad Mother-in-Law We’re going to give the in-laws the benefit of the doubt and assume they forgot. Even with the best of intentions and a few reminders, people can let things slip out of their heads. We suggest you send a note to the other parents (both of them), saying that you were going through your checkbook and noticed that this account was still unsettled. Ask when would be convenient for you to come by and pick up the check. (If they live out of state, ask them when you can expect it in the mail.) If you think they are having financial difficulties, you could offer an installment plan. Be sure to add some kind words about their wonderful son and how thrilled you are to have him in the family. We hope they come through. I have a suggestion for “Confused,” whose husband refuses to give her an allowance or spending money. She stated that she is 59 years old, worked for 30 years but was unable to continue due to ill health. I suggest she immediately contact her local Social Security office and file a claim. As a former disability examiner, I can tell you that her age, work record and disability should be sufficient to collect benefits. -B.

Last week, Eleen’s husband, Monty, went to check the engine before a planned trip to the Kansas City area. When he popped the hood, a little kitten was resting atop the engine compartment. The startled kitling — no bigger than a cup of coffee — jumped down and disappeared. Cats on this farm near the Mitchell-Cloud County line are not new. The family has six or seven battle-tested tabbies roaming the barns and a few kittens. This particular kitten, with a black face and white chest, was about to give Ilene and her family a run for their money and test that nine lives theory. The couple hit the road early that morning and stopped in Clay C e n t e r , where they thought they heard what sounded like ‘meowing’ coming from the car but couldn’t find the source. Then they stopped in Topeka and heard the same noise. Still nothing. When they reached their destination in Kansas City, there was no noise. They didn’t think much of it. For the next 12 hours, they were with their daughter who was receiving treatment inside the KU Medical Center. They then left the medical center and went to their daughter’s home in Kansas City. As they unloaded for the night they continued from page 1 Keller had a cancerous Wilms tumor on his kidney. The tumor caused his red blood cell counts to be very low requiring him to need a fourhour blood transfusion before he could undergo surgery to remove the tumor.

He was sent home after being severely wounded in combat and was awarded the Purple Heart and honorably discharged.” “When I’m in my shop, working, it keeps my mind pre- soon found a kitten hiding beneath the car, the same small, fuzzy kitten seen earlier that morning jumping from the engine compartment before the car left rural Mitchell County. Ileen said it took a minute or two to round up the tiny bewilderbeest, barely old enough to be away from its mother, because it hadn’t been around people at all prior to this trip. The cat was so tiny it didn’t know how to drink milk, Ileen said. It would just slap the dish with its paw. Ileen theorizes the catlet hid in the wheel-well after jumping from the engine and became a passenger simply along for the ride. On the way home, Ileen says, they kept the micropanther with them in the car. He found a spot he liked under the car seat. Now back on the farm, family is currently calling the traveling fuzz-face ‘KC.’ But Ileen said it might be fun to have a contest to name the little ocra cat. She said she’s had several suggestions already. I like Turbo, Junior for Earnhardt or A.J. as in Foyt. Sylvester might be good too, colors match and he was always making trouble. ••• I got to spend some time Monday with the group of college kids bicycling their way across the country when they stopped for the night in Beloit. They are five weeks in to a 10 week schedule that started in Virginia Beach, Virg., and ends at Cannon Beach, Ore. The riders said they dipped their back tires in the Atlantic Ocean to begin their ride and will dip their front tires in the Pacific Ocean to end the journey. One young female rider said the wind in Kansas was, to date, the biggest obsticale she had faced on the trip. ••• Donald Higgins, Jr., the man who won Solomon Valley Home Center’s 2014 Spring giveaway told me he almost didn’t enter the contest. He said his wife had been in the Carolina’s and he thought it might be a good idea if he picked up the house a little bit before she returned home. He was cleaning up a pile of papers when he saw the circular announcing the contest. He read it and saw he still had time to enter and the rest, as they say, is history. Recent tests of his chest and abdomen have come back clear. He should complete his last round of treatment on Thursday. The Red Cross is seeing fewer appointments at its blood donation centers and blood drives this summer than what is needed to ensure blood and platelets continue to be available for patients. During the summer months of June, July and August, on average, about two fewer donors make an appointment to give blood at each blood drive than what patients need. This can add up to more than 100,000 fewer donations during the summer. again for protection from the elements.

Nell Burnham, formerly of Jewell, was born July 5, 1916 to Henry and Nora Smith in Overbrook. She had one sister, Alberta, and a brother, Clark. She attended country school in the Overbrook area. As a child, her family lived on the farm. She rode horses and gardened. She enjoyed cooking and canning. She continued her love of cooking, especially making her famous lemon meringue pie for guests coming to visit. Nell always looked forward to her nephews and families coming to visit, and what she could prepare for them. Nell enjoyed playing bridge, and sometimes would play several days a week. She had many friends, especially her little group of ladies around the Hilltop Apartments. She enjoyed thinking of something special to serve at her house when it was her turn to host. Nell had the best sense of humor and her cute little laugh would just make you smile or laugh with her.
