Heading down the home stretch
Hillsboro senior Karyn Leihy receives the baton from
sophomore teammate Kennedy Klein for the final leg of
the 4x800 relay at the Hesston Invitational Thursday. Most
area high school teams will be competing in league meets
this week prior to the regional meets next week as the
season comes to a climax.
Patrons of Unified
School District 398 Peabody-Burns authorized its
board of education to
increase the local option
ballot taxing authority
from 30 percent to 33 percent by nearly a 3-1 margin by mail-in ballot.
The result was 360
votes in favor and 137
against.
“I’m happy that we’ll
be able to have the funds
in order to meet the flat
line status that we’ll
receive with the block
grant,” Superintendent
Ron Traxson said about
the outcome. “I’m also
pretty happy that people
are still supportive of the
schools and maintaining
our programs.”
Traxson said he was
“optimistically anxious”
prior to the vote, but
didn’t know what to
expect.
“We’ve got a district
that spans quite a few
miles and two communities,” he said. “I know any
community that’s done

“It’s a good fiscal victory, if
you will, but it’s also a great
moral victory in the sense that
we have the support, and the
board has the confidence, of
the patrons to spend their
money wisely.”
—SUPERINTENDENT RON TRAXSON
any kind of consolidation
over the years, there’s still
feelings if you had school in
two communities and you’re
down to one. That lingers.”
Traxson credited the
board for deciding not to
ask for an LOB increase last
year when it was initially
allowed. The district has
now paid off its most recent
bond issue, enabling a significant reduction in the
local mill levy.
“It helps that we waited a
year before we did anything
so it coincides better with
that we’re coming off the
bond,” he said. “No matter
what we did, we were going
to drop more than 10 mills.
The timing was perfect.”
He said the local
decrease could be as much
as 16 or 17 mills from two
years ago, assuming the
state doesn’t change the
rules of the game in the
meantime.
Traxson said another factor that strengthened patron
confidence in the board was
its budget-reduction strategies prior to the school year.
“We cut three teachers, a
couple of aides and an
administrator,” he said. “So,
we were ahead of the game.
We knew that no matter
what, we needed to be even
more fiscally responsible, so
we made some cuts and did
some blending.”
Traxson said it’s difficult
to predict how the state will
manage the current budget
crisis and its effect on K-12
education, but he feels good
about the local situation, as
indicated by the ballot vote.
“It’s a positive that our
patrons, even though there’s
questions, that maybe they
do understand that there
are some real issues at the
state level—but they have
confidence at the local level
and they have confidence in
their board members that if
we have the funds, we’ll
spend it wisely,” he said.
“It’s a good fiscal victory,
if you will, but it’s also a
great moral victory in the
sense that we have the support, and the board has the
confidence, of the patrons to
spend their money wisely.”
By the numbers
Tina Spencer, Marion
County clerk and election
officer, said her office
mailed a total of 1,155 ballots for the USD 398 election.
With 497 valid ballots
returned, the results represented 43 percent of the
total ballots. Spencer said
115 ballots were rejected or
undeliverable by the post
office.
“In Kansas, voter credit
is given if the voter sends
the ballot back—even if the
ballot that is cast is not
valid or counted,” Spencer
said. “So, for voter turnout,
we count the valid returned
ballots, invalid returned ballots and provisional ballots,
for a total of 550 out of 1,155
voters responding, which is
47.6 percent.”

Milestones

stage of life, but we all travel a step at a time.
A
s we enter the graduation season, we
pass on a word of congratulations to the
high school and college students who
have earned their respective diplomas and are
beginning the next stage of their life journey.
We have no sage advice or insight to offer
that they won’t hear, think or read over the
next week or so. But most of us, whether we
were there 10, 30 or 50 years ago, can recall
that mix of excitement and dread as one very
familiar stage ends and the next one looms
before us with no clear understanding or
defined expectations.
If we look too deeply into the future, the
outlook can be foreboding because even the
familiar earth beneath our feet shifts from
week to week with the undulating tremors of
change. Graduates have carefully defined
milestones to mark their change. The rest of
us plod on, adjusting day by day to the surprises and challenges that come our way.
Ultimately, that is the way all of us make it

be taken on this proposal.
This is the seventh year
the Legislature has had this issue before it and so far it has
not passed. Since this is the first year of the two-year legislative cycle, this could lay over until next year.
Tuesday, the Tax committee met and simply reviewed
the governor’s proposals to increase the tobacco and liquor
taxes as well as the tax amnesty.
There is conflicting information about how much revenue those taxes would actually raise, but as proposed, the
total is slightly over $200 million. The current difference
between the proposed budget and revenues is $422 million.
Those proposals, as written, would divert some money
to a rainy-day fund, which seems a little odd given the fact
that we have a budget gap to fill first.
House Tax heard a proposed five-cent increase in fuel
taxes, including adding the five cents for off-road fuel, also
known as dyed diesel. The dyed diesel is for farm, construction and railroad use in machinery that is not used
on the highways. Clear diesel is for highway use.
The different colors are to distinguish between which
fuel has highway taxes included in the price and which
does not have the tax.
As written, the five cents is supposed to sunset in three
years on the clear diesel, but would remain on the dyed
diesel. The entire package would raise about $96 million
for the highway fund. The other part is that the $96 million
would be immediately diverted to the state’s general fund,
which is a tortured path to get it into the general fund.

What I’d say to graduates...
I
’ve never actually
been asked to give a
graduation speech.
No, no. I am not fishing
for an invitation. But, I
have sometimes thought
about what I would say
as I faced the shining
FREE FALLING
group of eager faces
Bob Woelk
about to get a cold slap of
reality from life.
Would I hand out the usual words of
encouragement about how the world is
theirs for the taking or quote Dr. Seuss
books?
What if a commencement speaker
stood up and told the truth; would he or
she be booed off the stage, or would the
audience members appreciate that someone finally spoke with candor?
I imagine that speech would go something like this:
Class of 2015, I congratulate you on
completing your four years of high
school. I assume they were consecutive
for most of you here today. Your teachers
and your parents have worked hard to
get you onto this stage; some have perhaps worked harder than you did.
I am sure there are adults in your
lives who have at times been more worried about your grades than you were.
But, that’s OK. You made it, and that is
all that counts these days.
When you first walked through that
door into kindergarten—it would have
been easier if someone had opened it
first—you must have thought about the
13-year journey of learning upon which
you were embarking. Or, you might have
been thinking about the kid who still
had a milk mustache from breakfast.
Either way, you had taken the first steps
on your academic road.
Would you be a troublemaker, a
teacher’s pet, a principal’s personal project or just another face in the classroom
crowd? You may have been frightened
into compliance, or you may have been
determined that some day you would
make your mark, even if it was just a
dirty word carved into a high school
desk.
And now, here you are, about to
become alumni. How does it feel? Is it
the cure for “senioritis,” technically
defined as “inflammation of the senior?”
Are you looking forward to a world in
which you no longer have to ask to use
the restroom, only to once again hear a
teacher snap back, “I don’t know, can
you?”
Will it be refreshing not to have your
grammar corrected when you say, “me
and him,” or be directed to “show your
work?”
No more dress codes. No more academic detentions. Are you simply
thrilled to slam the door on your adolescent years?
Or, if truth be told, are you sensing

dence. Personally, I
Shelley Plett
prefer “the power of
action.”
I don’t know how common this is, if
I’m one of a million more people who
find things at the exact moment I need
them, or if I’m singly being tapped on
the shoulder.
I should clarify that. By “find,” I don’t
mean stumble upon. I mean making a
choice that moves me in the right direction. And by “things,” I don’t mean possessions. I mean (figurative) tools.
My daughter asked me once what had
happened to the tiger wallpaper she had
put on my computer desktop. I had
replaced it (without permission) with
the Hemingway quote above. Just some
words, nothing fancy. Apparently not as
dramatic to the eye as a tiger.
“They’re just words,” she informed
me.
“Words can be better than pictures.”
“I don’t think so.”
Knowing better than to start a “yes
they can/no they can’t” debate with a
kid at 9:30 on Sunday night, I let it go.
So I’ll say it here. Yes they can.
For someone who knows this fact, I’m
kind of a slacker. I love words: books,
magazines, even websites. The words
themselves and the magical order they
are arranged into are sometimes better
than the complete stories.
Maybe I appreciate and rely on
printed words because I’m not as good
with them verbally. I know what they’re
capable of, I’ve experienced it. But what
are just as strong are words that aren’t
said. What we’re feeling isn’t necessarily
obvious, no matter how deeply we’re
feeling it.
I’ve recently been reminded of that.
For a collection of reasons, I’ve held my
tongue when I should have done the
exact opposite. And isn’t it ironic that
the tipping point for me was a piece of
paper with—what else—words on it.
I read a short story about a woman
who sent a small donation to an acquaintance who was having a rough time
financially. A few months later, after
never hearing a word back about the
money, she ran into the recipient. The
woman inquired and was told “Oh, yeah,
I got that. I just hadn’t had time to cash
it.”
She felt unappreciated and wondered
about the nerve of some people. She sent
money she really didn’t have to send to
help out this gal and that’s the thanks
she gets.
Ungrateful…selfish….
But then, she remembered she didn’t
give it expecting a pat on the back. She
sent it because it was the right thing to

We said farewell to Ray
Abrahams last week. He
passed away in late April.
Ray and wife Sylvia were
longtime friends of my parents, and Ray was just a
prince of a guy. One of the
most genuine guys I have
ever known.
He was probably best
known for his many classic
and vintage automobiles,
especially his 1932 Chevrolet
Cabrolet. I once had the
opportunity to own one of
his cars—a 1965 Corvair convertible. I loved that car and
wish I still had it.
Ray will be missed by
family and all who knew
him.

My dad has been gone for
25 years this month. It is
hard to believe it has been
that long. It didn’t seem fair
at the time. He was a huge
basketball fan and I just
wish he could have seen
Hillsboro win the state basketball tournament, which
the Trojans won several
times during the 1990s and
even later. He would have
loved that. And he never got
to see an issue of the Free
Press either.
n
I have become much more
conscious of age as I get
older. My age group matches
the ages in the obits more
frequently now.
I am hoping to make it to
2034, when Hillsboro will be
150 years old and I’ll be 88.
Then my “half as old as this
town” slogan will still hold
true as it does now.
n
One reason the state may
be running low on money is
that it took three weeks for
the state treasurer to run my
income tax check and my
estimate through the bank
this year.
If your business didn’t

your hand.

After listening to them argue, I
asked them to make a list of things

did not.
The list of things my students do
not like is as follows: cherries, cereal,

Earlier in the session, a
bill was introduced to
change the use value
appraisal of farmland,
increasing the taxes significantly.
Recently a bill was introduced in the Senate to put a
$3 excise tax per acre of
farmland. This seems to be
a classic case of trying to
tax a specific group rather
than having a broader base
to spread out the burden.
Obviously, the ideas continue to flow as the search
for a solution to the revenue
question continues. It just
seems the most sensible
thing would be to simply
reverse the problem created
in 2012. The next week or
two could determine the
direction of the state for
years to come.
House action late in the
week saw the Renewable
Portfolio Standard go from
a 20 percent by 2020 mandate to a voluntary 20 percent. All utilities in Kansas
except one are already at
the 20 percent level, and
that utility expects to be
there by the end of this
year.
Although there is always
some controversy on agreements of this type, this was
agreed to by all parties. The
agreement should bring
more business certainty to
the industry because the
debates about ending the
RPS mandate should cease.
House floor action also
had two amendments on a
bill to adjust sentencing for
drug possession. One
amendment would allow the
purchase of hemp oil for
medical use and the other
allows industrial hemp pro-
duction in a farm operation.
Generally, hemp products have very low THC levels, which is the
hallucinogenic product. It
was a long and informative
debate discussing the merits, or lack thereof, of medical hemp.
Obviously, the word marijuana is avoided because of
the negative connotations.

Oatmeal Cake
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup quick oats
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons nutmeg
3 teaspoons cinnamon
Topping
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup evaporated milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup shredded sweetened
coconut
1 cup chopped pecans (I left these
off, but they would be good)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare a 9x13-inch pan with
cooking spray.
In a pan, bring the water and butter to a boil and then combine them
with the oats in a mixing bowl. Let
them sit for about three minutes.
After letting it cool, beat in the
egg and sugars.
Add in the rest of the ingredients
for the cake and mix until well-combined.
Pour the batter into the pan and
bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out
clean.
While the cake bakes, cream
together the sugar and butter for the
topping. Add the rest of the topping
ingredients and mix until well-combined.
When the cake comes out of the
oven, immediately pour the topping
evenly over it.
The recipe calls for you to put the
cake under the broiler for two to
three minutes to brown the topping,
but I just let mine sit overnight to
soak into the cake, and it was perfect.
***
Well, the verdict from the kids
was that this cake is delicious, and
that’s coming from one of the pickiest groups I’ve ever met, so I consider it a good recommendation.
They even went in for seconds, so
give this a try. I don’t think you’ll be
disappointed.

Tabor student receives national scholarship
Tabor College junior
Jared Janzen is the winner
of the annual Evangelical
Press Association $2,000
scholarship.
The scholarship was
announced during the EPA
convention in early April.
Majoring in communications and English, Janzen
has a grade-point average of
3.965. He is the editor of the
Tabor View, the school
newspaper. He also is writing and reporting as an
intern for the Christian
Leader, the national magazine of the Mennonite
Brethren Church.
“Over the past year, the
newspaper has improved in
quality news coverage and
media writing under Jared’s
leadership,” said Aleen
Ratzlaff, his academic
adviser. “Jared has demonstrated an understanding
for the purpose and effects
of communicating through
print media.”
In his essay about journalism, Janzen said media

JANAE REMPEL / FREE PRESS
Peyton Heidebrecht rounds third base and is congratulated by coach Roger Schroeder after hitting a three-run
home run during the top of the fifth inning of Game 1
at Little River Thursday. That gave Marion a 12-10 lead,
and the Warriors went on to win the game, 15-11, after
trailing by as much as 10-3.
Marion baseball splits
with ranked Redskins
BY JANAE
REMPEL
The Free Press
The Marion baseball
team won three of four
games last week to conclude the regular season
with an overall record of
13-7.
Little River—Marion
split two games with the
Redskins, who rank fifth
in Class 2-1A, on a stormy
Thursday on the road.
Coach Roger Schroeder
praised his team’s offensive performance but
lamented a continuing
defensive struggle. Marion
committed eight errors in
the doubleheader.
“Early in the year, we
couldn’t score to help ourselves at all,” he said.
“Now we’re able to put the
ball in play hard and get
some hits and move runners on the bases, but we
still just can’t get out of
our own way on the field.”
Marion came into the
twinbill short a starting
pitcher after Bret Voth
threw five shutout innings
of relief in a 12-inning win
over Moundridge two days
prior.
Marion overcame a 10-3
deficit to win Game 1, 1511.
The Warriors trailed 32 after the first inning but
tied it in the second. Little
River enjoyed a seven-run
third inning, roughing up
starter Peyton
Heidebrecht for five hits,
two walks and a pair of hit
by pitches, and being
aided by an error.
The Warriors got to
starter Grant Harvey in
the fifth inning. Jacob
Baldwin hit a leadoff single and Heidebrecht
walked to force a pitching
change. Trevor Kruse hit a
one-out RBI double and
Dylan Pippin hit a one-run
single. The next three
Warriors reached on error,
and by the time Voth and
Jacob Baldwin hit back-toback RBI singles, Marion
was within 10-9 with two
outs. Heidebrecht then hit
a three-run home run to
give the Warriors the lead,
12-10.
Marion scored three
runs to Little River’s one
in the sixth.
Heidebrecht was 3-for-4
at-bat and had five RBIs.
Reliever Corbin
Wheeler (1-0) earned the
pitching win. In three
innings, he gave up two
hits and one run (earned).
He walked four batters
and struck out two. Pippin
pitched the final inning
and retired the side.
Marion lost Game 2, 9-8.
Little River built a 6-3
lead through three.
Marion scored its first
three runs off five hits,
including a Cole Srajer
double, in the third.
Marion tied the game,
6-6, in the fifth, highlighted by a Jacob Baldwin
double.
Little River scored
twice in the fifth. Each
team plated a run in the
sixth, making it, 9-7, heading into the seventh.
Heidebrecht led off
with a single, then Dakota
Stimpson got a base hit.
With one out, Wheeler was

Striking like a lightning
bolt on a clear day, a tworun home run by Lyons
pitcher Laura Pineda ultimately ended Hillsboro’s
undefeated streak at 16
games by a 2-1 score May 4
at Lyons.
The Trojans bounced
back with a 5-3 win in
Game 2 to raise their record
to 17-1 for the year. Lyons is
9-5.
In the top of the fourth
inning of Game 1, Hillsboro
took a 1-0 lead when Emily
Jost singled, stole second
and eventually scored,
thanks to two passed balls.
Meanwhile, Trojan ace
Julie Sinclair was sailing
along with a one-hit
shutout through the first 3
innings when Morgan
Michaelis drew a one-out
walk in the fourth.
After a fielder’s choice
provided a second out,
Pineda blasted a Sinclair
pitch over the fence in left-
center field to give her team
a 2-1 lead.
It was the only offense
Lyons generated in the
game, and all that Pineda
needed as she nailed down
a four-hit upset victory for
her team.
Almost as startling as
Pineda’s home run was the
way she throttled
Hillsboro’s aggressive hitters. The Trojans managed
only four hits—three by
Jost—and never had more
than one hit in an inning.
“Pineda is good but not
that good—we popped up a
lot,” coach Stephanie Sinclair said. “I was disappointed that we got down
and just could not bounce
back. We need to be more
flexible and keep composure.”
With Hillsboro’s top five
hitters in the lineup going
5-for-34 for the day, it was
the bottom of the lineup
that scored the winning
runs in Game 2, which was
a back-and-forth affair
through the first four
innings.
Lyons scored a run off
starter Allison Weber in the
first inning, but Hillsboro
took the lead in the second
on a two-out, two-run single
by eight-hole hitter Mesa
Merrell after Bradli Nowak
reached on an error and
Kennedy Lucero drew a
walk.
Lyons tied the game in
the third, but Sinclair put
her team in front again, 3-2,
in the top of the fourth by
blasting Ruth Pineda’s
pitch over the left-field
fence for her first home run
of the season.
After Lyons tied the
game in the bottom of
fourth, Coach Sinclair
brought in Julie Sinclair to
pitch the fifth inning. The
lefty stymied the Lions on
two hits over the final three
innings.
With the scored tied 3-3
in the seventh inning,
Merrell drew a walk.
Savannah Unruh followed
with a swinging bunt that
prompted a throwing error
by the pitcher. Merrell was
able to score the go-ahead
run and Unruh reached
third.
Lead-off hitter Weber
then singled home Unruh
for team’s fifth run.
Sinclair, who absorbed
the loss in Game 1, was
awarded the win in Game 2
to raise her season record
to 10-1.

Marion softball sweeps Little River
BY JANAE
REMPEL
The Free Press
The Marion softball team
has won nine of its last 10
games, including a sweep of
Little River and a split with
Moundridge last week, to
conclude the regular season
with an overall record of 136.
Little River—Despite
stormy skies and a few
weather-related delays,
Marion gained two run-rule
wins Thursday.
Shelby Felvus pitched a
one-hitter shutout in
Marion’s 14-0 Game 1 victory in five innings. Of the
17 batters she faced, she
walked one and struck out
no one.
The Warriors gave her
plenty of run support, scoring one run in the opening
inning, then adding two
more in the second to take a
3-0 lead without a hit.
Kayla Kroupa keyed an
eight-run third inning by
hitting a two-run double.
That was the first of three
Warrior hits in the game.
Felvus hit a two-run single
to highlight a three-run
fourth inning, and Sheridyn
Arterburn hit a fifth-inning
single.
In all, 10 Warriors
reached base on a walk.
Eight were hit by a pitch.
Marion won Game 2 in
six innings, 30-9, despite
trailing, 8-4, after three
innings. Little River took
the lead with a seven-run
third inning, aided by two
hits and three errors.
But the Warriors established the lead for good by
scoring nine runs in the top
of the fourth off three hits
and three errors.
The scoring continued
into the fifth inning, as
Marion plated four runs off
a pair of hits, including an
RBI single by Sam Davies
and a single by Kroupa. By

the end of the fifth inning,
Marion led, 17-8.
With no one in the
bullpen to come in and
relieve the tiring Redskin

pitcher as the result of a
prior injury in practice—
Marion roughed her up for
five hits and 13 runs in the
sixth inning. She faced 19
Warriors in the inning
alone, walking eight of
them. Davies, Bailey Robson
and Felvus each hit two-run
singles in the inning.
“They have one pitcher
left,” coach Jennifer Felvus
said. “It’s embarrassing to
have somebody step off the
base for you. I was debating
in my head. I didn’t know
what to do. All of a sudden,
they couldn’t make a play.
Earlier they were playing.”
Little River added its
final run off a hit and two
errors in the bottom half of
the inning.
Felvus earned the pitching win in relief of starter
Emily Hague. Felvus scattered four hits and eight
runs (six earned) over four
innings of work while walking one batter and striking
out two.
Moundridge—Marion
split two games Tuesday.
Marion used a seventhinning rally to overcome a 60 deficit in Game 1 to force
extra innings but lost in
eight innings in the end, 7-6.
“After the game, I told
them, ‘We didn’t get the W
but that was an amazing
run. You made it a game,
and it was a fun game at
that point,’” coach Jennifer
Felvus said. “They never
cease to amaze me.”
Moundridge built its lead
by scoring twice in the first,
twice in the third, once in
the fourth and once in the
seventh. Wildcat starter
Emily Knight pitched six
shutout innings, limiting
Marion to just two hits during that time.
With one final opportunity, the Warriors rallied.
Elizabeth Meyer coaxed a
walk off Knight to lead off
the bottom of the seventh
inning, then Reann Hamm
hit a single. Taylor May
drove in Marion’s first two
runs with a triple, and
Shelby Felvus continued the
hitting streak with an RBI
triple. Kourtney Hansen
walked, and so did Sam
Davies. Bailey Robson hit a
two-RBI single, and the
Warriors scored the tying
run on a ground out to force
extra innings.
Moundridge scored a run
off a hit and an error in the
top of the eighth. In the bottom half of the inning,
Marion suffered two quick
outs. Felvus reached base

With two firsts and a
third in the distance races,
Emily Sechrist was named
the “Outstanding Female

third in 2:31.50, about a
second and a half behind
winner Caitlin Schlickau
of Haven and a half a second behind Heddin.
The top six runners finished within 3.6 seconds of
each other, including
freshman Abby Sechrist,
who crossed in 2:32.55 for
fifth place. It was the first
head-to-head competition
for the Sechrist sisters.
Marah Franz was Hillsboro’s only other top-six
finisher in individual
events, placing third in
pole vault by clearing 8
feet.
As a team, the Trojan

11 schools with 38 team
points. Hesston dominated
the field with 118.5 points.
Grant Knoll led the
boys’ effort, placing third
in the 1,600 in 4:43.65 and

Hillsboro’s golf team
experienced a challenging
day at the 36-hole Marion
County Invitational, which
was played Friday on the
golf courses at Marion and
Hillsboro.
Departing from previous
years’ format of dividing
the schools in half with
each group playing one
course in the morning and
the other in the afternoon,
all the schools competed
together, playing at Marion
in the morning and Hillsboro in the afternoon.
Whether it was the physical challenge of playing 36
holes in one day, or the challenge for inexperienced
golfers to maintain consistency for that long, the four
Trojans struggled.
Freshman Elias Werth
shot the best score for the
day, carding a 101 at Marion
and a 93 at Hillsboro for a
total score of 194. He placed
29th in the field of 46 finishers.
Colin Settle shot 100 at
Marion and 103 at Hillsboro.
His total of 203 placed him
36th.
Phillip Ediger, who had
been the team’s top performer of late, shot 107 at
Marion and 113 at home for
a total of 220, which placed
him 42nd.
Eliot Ollenburger was
disqualified at Marion and
shot a 99 at Hillsboro.
The tournament’s individual medalist was Jesse
Bittner of Burlington with
a score of 160. With five of
the top seven individual
scores, Burlington won the
team title with a score of
648, which was 46 strokes
better than runner-up
Cheney.
Coming—Hillsboro was
scheduled to compete
Tuesday in the Central Kansas League tournament at
Sterling.
Next Monday is the Class
3A regional tournament at
Sterling. Also joining the
field are Beloit, Ellsworth,
Southeast of Saline, Hesston, Hutchinson Trinity,
Lyons and Minneapolis.

Is Royals ‘Basebrawl’ good or bad for business?
E
veryone is entitled to an opinion. When my
agent I.M. Slick
stopped by to share
his, I let him pontificate and get some
things off his chest.
SIDELINE
I.M. Slick: I’m
SLANTS
telling you, the Kansas
City Royals are the
Joe
Kleinsasser talk of Major League
Baseball.
Joe: Yeah, they followed their surprising World Series appearance last
fall with a hot start this spring.
Slick: No, silly. They’re the talk of
baseball because they are among the
league leaders in batters getting hit by
pitches, brawls, player fines, ejections
and suspensions. And all of that was
just in April. This kind of behavior
doesn’t typically occur until July or
August.
Joe: They seem to have a target on
their back for whatever reason.
Slick: Ya think? Let’s be real.
Teams are trying to bully them and
they’re not going to take it. The result
is they’re going to pack the ballpark.
Fans want to see these bad boys play.
They’re throwing away the lovable
underdog role in favor of the shorttempered, cocky boys in blue. It’s
must-see TV or must-see basebrawl.
You know what they say: “There’s
nothing like fun at the ol’ ballpark.”
Joe: To be fair, there’s only been
one real brawl, and that was in
Chicago with the White Sox. It takes
two to tango, after all. That was a legitimate brawl, although not many of the
players showed much skill as a fighter.
Slick: Still, the Royals are showing
they won’t back down from anyone.
Joe: Yes, and like most baseball
bench-clearing situations, there’s a lot
of glaring, staring, pushing, shoving
and holding on to each other to give
the appearance of a fight. But no one
really wants to start fighting because
someone could get hurt.
Pro baseball players generally prefer the eye-for-an-eye philosophy over
turning the other cheek.”
I suppose one positive is the Royals
bullpen is getting plenty of exercise
running in from beyond the outfield
wall to join the fracas.
Slick: All I know is the Royals are a
bit testy because their batters are getting hit…a lot.
Joe: What’s hard to say is how
many Royals batters were intentionally hit, versus a pitcher just not having very good control. In any case, the
Royals already had one player put on
the disabled list because of a bad
pitch. They are tired of being used for
target practice.
Did you know that as a college
baseball pitcher at Tabor, I hit a number of batters and I was never accused
of intentionally throwing at anyone?
Slick: That’s because you didn’t
throw hard enough to hurt anyone
and because your control was lousy to
begin with.
Joe: Thanks.
Slick: Regardless of what you
think of the new rowdy Royals, you’ve
got to admit there are plenty of new
marketing opportunities.
Joe: Such as?
Slick: Boxing Glove Day. The first
20,000 fans who enter the ballpark on
the designated day get souvenir boxing gloves with a picture of the Royals
mascot Sluggerrr on the gloves.
Joe: Seriously? I don’t think Major
League Baseball would approve.
Slick: And then there could be a
Pass the Cap Day.
Joe: I’m almost afraid to ask. How
exactly would that work?
Slick: Well, supersized Royals caps
would be passed down each row of
seats after the second inning, giving
fans an opportunity to donate money
to help all the Royals players pay their
fines for being overly feisty. Half of
the money would go toward payment
of the fines, and the other half of the
money would be divided among five
lucky Royals fans whose ticket stubs
would be drawn from a big cap during
the seventh-inning stretch.
Joe: And, of course, I’m sure
you’ve thought of beanbag day. The
first 20,000 fans entering the ballpark
would be

Holt batted .301 over 51
games this season. She tallied 42 hits—including eight
doubles, four triples and two
home runs—and had 16
RBIs. She ranks 44th in
Division I in triples.
“Kellyn came in this year
as a transfer and led-off,”
Unruh said. “She was a
huge threat for a lot of
teams, too. They didn’t want
her on base, and she had
power. She could lay down a
bunt and slap it, so they did-
n’t know what to do with
her.”
Vela batted .311 over 44
games this season, tallying
38 hits—including 10 doubles, one triple and two
home runs—and contributing 22 RBIs.
“Sara Vela was behind
the plate,” Unruh said.
“She’s a great kid, too, and
she’s going to do big things
as well.”
Tabor went 2-2 in the
KCAC tournament, ending
the season with a 4-0 loss to

Work submitted by four
Hillsboro High School art
students received recognition by the judges at the
Central Kansas League art
festival hosted April 29 at
McPherson College.
The annual festival offers
a professionally juried exhibition for high school students who are selected by
their teachers at Sterling,
Halstead, Hesston, Hillsboro, Haven, Kingman,
Lyons, Nickerson, Pratt,
Smoky Valley, Larned and
Hoisington.
This year brought about
120 students to campus with
more than 375 works of art
in a wide range of media:
paint, pencil, ceramics, photography and even corrugated cardboard.
HHS senior Shannon
Martens was recognized for
two watercolor entries. She
received a Gold award for
“The Runaways,” and a
Merit award for “Marro Bay
at Sunset.”
Senior Allison Weber
received a Silver award for
her paper cutout, “Sawing
Waves.
Merit awards also went
to senior Darcy Heinrichs
for her untitled pencil drawing, and junior Lydia
Kliewer for an untitled
photo.
“I’m extremely proud of
the students that both won
an award and those who didn’t,” said Dustin Dalke, HHS
art instructor. “They all are
brave in showcasing their
work to the public.”
McPherson College has
hosted the festival since
2011. The show was juried
by Frank Shaw, associate
professor of art at Bethany
College, and Mary Kay, professor of art at Bethany.
Kay and Shaw said rating such excellent and
diverse artwork was a joy,
and a job.
“Walking in the door,”
Shaw said, “I realized that
our work is going to be
much more difficult than I
had anticipated.”
While their work was
judged, the high school
artists got to learn new
skills in professional-level

“Our goal is to attract
a lot of people from
maybe a little further
away to experience our
town and the towns
around it,” Boese said.
Mueller said at least
two local store owners
reported that traffic in
their downtown stores
increased the weekend of
the April market.
“I guess we’re trying to
find an opportunity for
(business owners) to tag
on,” Mueller said. “We’re
trying to make the third
weekend in Hillsboro like
‘First Friday in Kansas
City.’ We want it to be an
experience.
“I’m hoping businesses
will consider being open a
little longer on
Saturdays,” she added.
“I’m not telling people
what they ought to do, but
sometimes I think we’re
missing an opportunity
here. I hope that this is
offering an opportunity.
That was one of the main
goals.”
Looking ahead
Currently, Cedar Street
Salvage Co. organizers
have markets planned for
the third weekend of
April, May, June, July,
August and September.
Mueller said the planning team knows that people are looking for
“something new” at each
month’s event.
“A lady from Kansas
City was here last time,”
Mueller said. “She said,
‘Now tell me, what will
you do the next time that
can be better than this?
She was very complimentary, but she was saying
she can definitely see the
trend going away from
antique malls to the markets and back to the
small-town shops.”
For the market this
weekend, Mueller said the
team has been toying
with ways to highlight
seasonal themes such as
Memorial Day, Father’s
Day, the Indianapolis 500
and classic cars.
“Maybe we’ll have an
emphasis on old car
parts,” she joked.
The hours for Cedar
Street Salvage Co. are 9
a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday
and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.

“At last count, I saw we
have 280 families we serve
in the county, and we will be
able to continue through
Wal-Mart with bread, rolls
and bakery goods” Winkler
said.
Carlson’s Grocery is involved in the food bank by
selling cheese, milk and
everyday products at reduced prices.
“It is great to have this to
give to people, and have the
capability to store it, too,”
Winkler said.
Marion County commissioner have agreed to pay
utilities for the food bank
because it serves families
countywide.
“This will mean all the
money goes directly toward
food, so we can give back to
the people,” Winkler said.
Voucher system
Under the former system, the Marion County
Health Department
screened anyone applying
for food.
Unsure exactly how applicants were screened, Winkler said clients then would
receive a referral to collect
food once a month.

Compost relocation
The council approved in
concept a proposal by
street supervisor Dale
Dalke to move the city’s
compost site from its present location adjacent to the
east end of the city maintenance yard with access off
Adams Street, to the west
end of the maintenance
yard with access off Ash
Street on East Orchard
Drive.
The new location was
prompted by the purchase
of land by Grace Community Church for the
location of a ministry facility.
The plot suggested for
relocation is owned by the
Hillsboro Development
Corp. The city will need to
purchase the plot and build
a gravel extension of about
950 feet from the east end of
East Orchard Drive so the
public can access the new

Marion youth center’s future to be determined
BY
PATTY DECKER
The Free Press
By locating the new Marion
County Food Bank and Resource Center in the former youth center building, what happens to Marion’s youth
center?
Roger Holter, Marion city administrator and food bank advocate, said
the youth center has been moved to
the Marion Presbyterian house, north
of the church on Elm Street.

Main Street.
“If someone needs to
sign up, they can go there
in privacy,” he said.
At some point, food bank
organizers hopes to incorporate other assistance programs in the future.
Volbrecht said that was
why “resource center” was
added to the name.
Time for change
Holter said there’s a
“tremendous history surrounding this ministry”
and one family has been
committed to seeing it
work.
“Janet Bryant’s mom
stocked shelves for years
and years,” Holter said.
“When she couldn’t do it
any longer, Janet started
running it and then her
The gravel was estimated to cost $5,000.
“We would plan to make
a screen with trees and/or
wood fencing partly around
the compost to stop blowing
debris,” Dale Dalke said.
Recycling containers
The council deferred
action on a recommendation by Dale Dalke that the
city purchase four eightyard Dumpsters for the
city’s single-stream recycling needs.
The Dumpsters would
cost $9,062, but he said the
expense would be more
than offset by ending the
$28,000 annual fee paid to
the McPherson Area Solid
Waste Utility to provide
containers and haul away
recyclables.
Dalke proposed that the
city would haul local recyclables to the Marion
County transfer station in
Marion, which would then
sell them to a material recycling facility. Proceeds
would benefit county taxpayers.
Paine said MASWU’s
The house will be home to the
youth center through September
while organizers consider a longterm future.
“Although not proposed yet, we
are working on a Kan Step project
that will require a lot of sweat equity,” he said.
Holter said he knows of private
land that could be donated to create
a community center and the Kan
Step program would provide all the
daughter, Jan Helmer, took
over.”
In the beginning, the
ministerial alliance administered the voucher program because of concerns
about duplicating services
and abusing the system, he
said.
When one of the ministers decided not to control
it anymore, Holter said the
health department agreed
to run the voucher program.
“There was no direct
link to the Church Women
United and no support,”
Holter said. “A government
agency being the clearing
house and directing volunteer services also wasn’t
the best working relationship.”
Holter said another rea-
son changes were necessary had to do with law enforcement activities, which
are driven by changes in
the community.
“We have predators entering our community and
preying on those in need,”
he said. “We have young
mothers (with children)
trying to make it work, but
they get hungry and desperate and unsavory people
outside the county come in
and promise women lots of
things and lure them into a
lifestyle of poor decisions.
“They just need to have
someone come alongside
and help them.”
Board of directors
Following a meeting at
the end of April, the first
board of directors were
identified.
Jerry Henderson was appointed chairman. Other
board members included
Charlotte Coleman, Janet
Bryant, Jan Helmer, Linda
Ogden and Volbrecht.
“None of us are going to
be administrative,” Volbrecht said. “We will be a
working board.”
The board is discussing
an open house and plans to

Attitude makes
all the difference
in difficult times
T
hroughout the past five years of
my life I have often been asked
how I can have such positive
attitude all the time. Let’s face it. I
have an advanced stage, stigmatized,
kind of embarrassing cancer that
nobody wants to talk about.
Having anal cancer is no picnic
THE WAY I ‘C’ IT and I must be honest and tell you that
I have had some very dark and painful
Michele
Longabaugh days over the last half decade.
But for me they have been brief,
few and far between. I have learned that happiness is
a choice and in my moments of despair I make a conscious effort to stop and choose to be happy. To find
the good in all situations isn’t easy.
It takes practice, and lots of it. I figured if I only
had a few years left there was no sense in me living
out my days miserable and bitter. That would result
in the people around me being pained and angered as
well.
Attitude is highly contagious. One of my favorite
quotes is from the movie “Remember the Titans,”
released in 2000. If you’ve never seen the film, it is the
true story of a high school football team and the first
season as a racially integrated unit.
The team captains are struggling to except each
other and there is fighting amongst the players. In an
exchange of words and blame one says to the other
“Attitude reflects leadership…captain.”
That statement really struck me as applicable in
any life situation. We are the “captains” of our lives.
Yes, our outlook throughout life’s struggles matters a
great deal. It’s not just about how others see us but
what we reflect back to them.
In surviving cancer or any trouble that comes
your way, I think attitude is everything. You have to
choose to live everyday. If you don’t, you will be dying
everyday. And who wants to do that?
The way I see it, nobody knows the number of
their days. Live each one, facing each and every day
looking for the joy and the good every moment can
bring.
What’s my plan? Reflect a joyous, happy attitude in
my life regardless of my circumstance no matter how
much, or how little, time I am granted.

Battling
blood clots
Golf Legend Arnold Palmer and actor-writer-comedian Kevin
Nealon find common ground in fight against blood clots.
A
rnold Palmer is one
of the world’s greatest professional
golfers; Kevin Nealon is one
of his generation’s most
beloved actors and comedians.
Though seemingly
worlds apart, they’ve experienced conditions that raise
their chances for developing
blood clots or stroke.
The unlikely duo has set
out to inspire millions of
people like them to understand the importance of prevention and treatment.
Palmer is one of up to
900,000 Americans who have
experienced a blood clot
caused by deep vein thrombosis—or DVT—which is
when a blood clot forms in a
deep vein in the body, often
the leg or thigh.
Up to 300,000 people die
every year from the condition. About half of the people diagnosed with DVT
don’t experience any of the
symptoms, which include
swelling, pain or tenderness, and warmth or redness of the skin on the
affected area.
“I’m fortunate that my
DVT was diagnosed and
treated before it led to something even more serious,”
Palmer said. “Being an athlete or an active person
doesn’t make you immune
to blood clots. They can happen to anyone at any time.”
Always quick to make a
joke, Kevin Nealon chalked
up his first symptoms of
nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (or AFib) to a pounding
heart that came from trying
to impress his future wife.
“We were on vacation
and I was attempting to
ignore the age difference
between us by acting energetic-playing volley ball,
water skiing, and only resting for shortnaps,” said
Nealon.
“Suddenly, I couldn’t
keep up anymore. My heart
was beating so fast that I
became concerned and had
to see the hotel doctor. I was
later diagnosed with AFib,
and quickly realized it was
no laughing matter.”
AFib is an irregular
heartbeat that puts people
with the condition at a five
times greater risk for having a blood clot that could
cause a stroke. In fact, it
accounts for 15 to 20 percent
of all strokes in the U.S.
Both Palmer and Nealon
were told by their doctors
that they needed to take a
blood thinner to help prevent clots from forming in
the future. They also
learned that there are treatment options available that
do not require regular blood
monitoring or carry any
known dietary restrictions.
They’ve teamed up with
Janssen Pharmaceuticals
Inc. to raise awareness
about DVT, AFib and treatment options. Videos featuring their personal
experiences are featured on
Drive4Clots.com, and for
every view they receive,
Janssen will make a donation to Mended Hearts, a
nonprofit organization that
offers peer-to-peer support,
hope and encouragement to
heart disease and blood clot
patients, their families and
caregivers.
“Blood clots do not discriminate based on age, sex,
fame or lifestyle,” said
Michele Packard-Milam,
CAE, of Mended Hearts.
“We encourage people to
visit the website, learn
about DVT/PE and AFib,
and help make a difference
for the millions of
Americans living with or
who are at risk for blood
clots and stroke.”
“Both Arnold and I
talked to our doctors about
treatment options that were
right for us,” Nealon said.
“For people with AFib or
DVT, talk to your doctor to
understand the options and
the benefits and risks of
treatment, like the risk of
bleeding.”
Steps for decreasing
your risk of developing a DVT-PE:
n If you’re sitting for
an extended period of
time, such as a long car
or plane ride, make sure
to get up and stretch your
legs to keep the blood
flowing
n See your doctor for
regular checkups.
n Don’t smoke, and
keep a healthy weight.
n Wear compression
stockings as directed by
your doctor.
n Take all medicines
that your doctor prescribes to prevent or
treat blood clots.
n Follow up with your
doctor for tests and treatment
Symptoms of AFib:
n Palpitations (feelings that your heart is
skipping a beat, fluttering, or beating too hard
or fast).
n Shortness of
breath.
n Weakness or problems exercising.
n Chest pain.
n Dizziness or fainting.
n Fatigue (tiredness).
n Confusion.

The link between snoring and heart disease
S
noring isn’t pleasant
for anyone—not the
partner who has to
sleep beside the snorer, nor
the snorer whose breathing
may pause repeatedly
throughout the night.
But did you know that
loud, excessive snoring is
often a sign of obstructive
sleep apnea, a condition
that—if left untreated—can
cause you to be five times
more likely to die from
heart disease?
Along with good nutrition and regular exercise,
healthy sleep is essential for
a healthy heart. Heart disease is the leading cause of
death in the U.S, so treating
sleep apnea is good for your
sleep and your heart.

National Healthy Sleep
Awareness Project, obstructive sleep apnea is a chronic
disease that afflicts at least
25 million U.S. adults.
“Obstructive sleep apnea
is destroying the health of
millions of Americans, and
the problem has only gotten
worse over the last two
decades,” said Timothy
Morgenthaler, president of
the American Academy of
Sleep Medicine and a
national spokesperson for
the Healthy Sleep Project.
The project is a collaboration between the AASM,
the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, the
Sleep Research Society and
other partners.
Sleep apnea involves
repetitive pauses in breathing during sleep, which can
put an enormous strain on
the heart. Severe sleep
apnea can reduce the
amount of oxygen in your
blood and cause dangerous
surges in your blood pressure. This stress triggers

ways that may promote
heart disease.
Sleep apnea may be far
more common than you
think. Between 30 percent
and 40 percent of adults
with high blood pressure
also have sleep apnea.
The rate of sleep apnea
soars to 80 percent among
people with high blood pressure that do not respond to
treatment with medications.
Research even shows that
sleep apnea can affect the
shape, size and performance
of your heart.
“The good news is that
detecting and treating sleep
apnea can improve your
heart health and other clinical outcomes,”
Morgenthaler says.
The primary treatment
for obstructive sleep apnea
is continuous positive airway pressure therapy. CPAP
therapy keeps your airway
open by providing a stream
of air through a mask that
you wear during sleep.
Treating sleep apnea
with CPAP therapy
improves blood pressure
control and reduces the risk
of heart disease. It can even
reverse the changes to the
shape and size of the heart
caused by sleep apnea.
Excess body weight is the
leading risk factor for sleep
apnea, and loud snoring is a
common symptom. Other
warning signs for sleep
apnea include choking or
gasping during sleep, and
daytime fatigue or sleepiness. Visit stopsnoringpledge.org to pledge to “Stop
the Snore” by talking to a
doctor about your risk for
sleep apnea.
“Treatment of sleep
apnea can be life-changing
and potentially life-saving,”
Morgenthaler says.

Quilt memorializes man’s
love for motorcycles
BY
PATTY DECKER
The Free Press
Almost 18 months after
David Kasitz died, his
brother, Bob Kasitz of Newton, and friend Marie
Kessler of Hillsboro, immortalized his memory in
their own ways.
At age 60, David succumbed to pneumonia on
Jan. 15, 2014, without completing his bucket list, and
Bob said he wanted to carry
on with what his brother
started.
One way that Kessler,
owner of Kessler’s
Kreations, could help was
by constructing a T-shirt
quilt for Bob symbolic of
David’s Moto Guzzi motorcycle adventures.
In addition to Kessler’s
work on completing the
quilt, Bob said his cousin,
Nancy Hubbard of Manhattan, helped start the quilt.
“That summer David
planned to retire and travel
to (car and motorcycle)
shows,” Bob said.
One of the trips he was
looking forward to taking
was to a museum at Mandello Del Lario in Italy—the
place where Moto Guzzi motorcycles were manufactured.
Closer to his home east of
Hutchinson, David planned
to attend other shows in

to end the game.
“I wanted (Shelby) at
third so that I could score on
a potential passed ball,”
Coach Felvus said. “It was
really a do-or-die point, so I
brought her and hoped that
their exchange wasn’t good,
and their exchange was spot
on.”
Felvus absorbed the
pitching loss. Over eight
innings, she scattered eight
hits and seven runs (three
earned). She walked seven
batters and struck out one.
Marion responded with a
convincing, 11-1, run-rule
victory in Game 2.
Moundridge scored its
only run in the top of the
first inning, but Marion
took control in the bottom
half of the inning. Felvus
keyed the nine-run frame by
hitting a three-RBI triple.
Reann Hamm also hit a
triple, driving in two runs.
In all, Marion tallied six hits
in the frame.
Three scoreless innings
followed before Marion
scored the winning two
runs in the bottom of the
fifth off a hit and an error.
The inning also included a
hit-by-pitch and one walk.
Felvus was the winning
pitcher. Over five innings,
she gave up six hits and one
run (earned). She walked
one batter and struck out
one.
Ell-Saline—Weather
again interfered with
Marion’s schedule Monday,
as the Warriors traveled to
Ell-Saline to make up an
already-postponed doubleheader, but because of lightning, the teams were only
able to play one game.
Game 1 was called after
five innings, but Marion
held a 5-2 lead at that point
and claimed the win.
The Warriors scored
their first run without a hit
in the opening inning, but
Ell-Saline used two hits and
an error to take a 2-1 lead by
the end of the first inning.
Marion took the lead for
good in the second inning,
scoring three runs off a pair
of hits—including an RBI
single by Shelby Felvus and
a single by Kourtney
Hansen—and an error.
Three Warriors were
walked in the inning.
The Warriors scored
once more in the top of the
third. Bailey Robson hit a
two-out triple and Felvus
drove in a run with a double, bringing it to the final 52 margin.
Two scoreless innings
followed. The game was suspended in the middle of the
sixth inning because of
weather, and the final score
went back to the totals after
five innings, giving Marion
the victory.
Felvus pitched four
shutout innings and gave up
six hits and two runs in five
innings to earn the pitching
win.
Game 2 was canceled and
Kansas and around the
country.
As part of Bob’s tribute
to his brother, he said he
planned to make as many
shows as possible.
Recently he said he attended the Newton car show
and had the opportunity to
display the quilt, David’s
1954 Moto Guzzi Astore with
Wiley Coyote on the bike,
who now had the speed to
catch the Roadrunner.
Renaissance man
“David was known to
many as a ‘Renaissance
Man,’” he said.
Along with his love for
motorcycles, David also
played piano, violin and guitar and supported services
for disadvantaged children.
His wide range of interests included Emporia State
University’s Department of
Art, which now receives a
six-figure gift from his estate, Bob said.
The bulk of his estate
will endow the David W. Kasitz Donor-Advised Fund to
support ESU’s engraving
arts, printmaking and painting programs and provide
scholarships for art students, Bob said.
The quilt will be displayed at ESU until September, and Bob said he hopes
to take it with him to Italy
so it can be showcased at the
Moto Guzzi Museum.
According to Bob, his

WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 2015 n HILLSBORO FREE PRESS
Commission troubled by state budget actions
BY JERRY
ENGLER
The Free Press
Marion County Board of
Commissioners chairman
Dan Holub called Monday
for a 20-minute session to
discuss county problems
caused by actions of the
Kansas Legislature.
Holub said legislators
are considering easing the
state’s budget problems by
adding a $3 per acre excise
property tax for all
landowners.
Holub said that might
not add up to much for city
owners of lots less than an
acre, but it could be “devastating” for farmers on large
acreages required for food
production.
The proposed tax would
add $480 annually to the cost
of owning 160 acres of land.
The legislature’s real
problem, he said, is that it
has continually exempted
taxes on things such as
manufacturing equipment.
This has been done, he said,
in attempts to draw industries from neighboring
states, notably from
Missouri, to build in urban
Johnson County.
“They call it granting
exemptions,” Holub said. “I
call it incompetency.”
The process has led to a
situation where “nothing
for counties is safe,” according to Holub.
“By statute we have to
pay them what is owed, but
they don’t have to pay us
what they owe us by
statute,” he said. “When
they give tax breaks, local
taxpayers are being asked to
absorb the difference. They
continually cut programs
for us. It’s illegal for us to
follow their morality.”
Commissioner Randy
Dallke said, “My personal
feeling is we’ve got to have
taxes to operate on, and I
haven’t seen their whole picture.”
Commissioner Lori
Lalouette said the situation
merits commissioners
studying the situation for
the benefit of their constituents.
Holub said, “They accuse
us, and it’s them that don’t
have the honesty and
integrity.”
He said the Kansas Association of Counties, the
Kansas League of Municipalities and Kansas school
districts have all joined in
monitoring the Legislature
because they don’t like what
they are seeing.
Steve Hudson, Marion
County Lake and Park
superintendent, told the
commissioners volunteers
have raked and cleaned the
beach areas at the lake
while the road and bridge
department hauled in two
truckloads of sand for the
swimming area.
Tuesday, May 19
Road and bridge also
hauled in five loads of rock
screenings for five 4-inch by
4-inch disc golf posts at the
lake, he said.
Hudson has budgeted
$8,000 to buy a new lawn
mower, but plans to keep the
old one as a backup.
Visitors to the lake are
enjoying seeing four baby
foxes that live in a culvert
and “lots of baby geese and
ducks,” Hudson said.
Teresa Huffman, county
economic development
director, reviewed proposed
developments such as moving a hot water heater to a
bathroom to give more room
in the kitchen.
She said the additional
space is needed under a
regional state grant to
Marion County to help
develop commercial kitchen
businesses.
The commissioners
granted a neighborhood
revitalization reduction of
property tax for new
Marion resident Kent
Lachman on a 32-foot by 26foot lot south of the water
plant.
The commissioners met
for 30 minutes with Gail
Makovec and Road and
Bridge Director Randy
Crawford to consider
Makovec’s application to be
department foreman. It was
followed by 10 minutes in
executive session with only
Crawford, followed by five
minutes with both men, all
for personnel.
The commissioners
agreed to forgive unpaid
property taxes on a lot at 530
Walnut in Marion to allow
the city of Marion to purchase the property to meet
federal Homeland Security
standards for more space
around the city’s water
plant.
The commissioners met
with County Clerk Tina
Spencer for five minutes in
executive session for personnel.
Quilt
cause he could hardly ride a
motorcycle.
“David was only 5 feet 5
inches tall and the Moto
Guzzi was a good fit,” he
said. “These bikes ride a little different than a Harley
Davidson.”
Bob said he and David
grew up in Council Grove,
but his brother didn’t really
care too much for motorcycles when he was younger.
Their parents, Harry
and Grace Kasitz, adopted
David when he was six days
old, Bob said.
“(David) had a big
heart,” he said, “and a man
with such a big heart
should have lived longer.”
n from Page 15A
brother never married, but
he had a lot of projects.
“He loved his cars,” Bob
said, “and because of his
passion for motorcycles, he
was state president of the
Moto Guzzi National Owners Club for many years.”
Early years
In 1975, David earned a
teaching degree in industrial arts, Bob said, and
worked as a machinist before joining AGCO in Hesston.
One of the reasons he
liked the Moto Guzzi bike so
much, Bob said, was be-
