GLEN ELDER – A high speed chase which began in the early morning
hours of Tuesday in Mitchell County resulted in the eventual arrest of 37 year old
Justin T. Sutterlin of Marysville near Fairbury, Neb. A Mitchell County deputy
observed a silver Monte Carlo traveling at a high rate speed on Hwy. 24 before
turning North onto 260 Road.
The pursuit began around 1:45 a.m. as the vehicle made several turns on
county roads before heading north on Hwy. 14 into Jewell County. The chase
continued with Mitchell and Jewell County deputies as the vehicle continued
north to Hwy. 36 before turning East. The deputies continued their pursuit into
Republic County. Mitchell County Dispatch notified Republic County of the
situation and the direction of the pursuit.
Upon arriving at Belleville, Sutterlin turned North on 81 Hwy. Prior to that
he had swerved at law enforcement vehicles including the Mitchell County
deputy and a City of Belleville police car. Sutterlin continued North into
Nebraska where the chase was called off by Mitchell County and Belleville
police and turned over to Nebraska authorities in Thayer County.

The Mitchell County Hospital Health
Systems Board of Trustees met on
Monday evening in the hospital board
room. The Board approved the budget for
fiscal year 2016 presented by Eldon
Koepke, CFO. The budget reflects an
estimated total operating revenue of
$27,792,804 plus $127,992 in expected
non-operating revenue. Figuring those
number against estimated operating
expenses of $27,871,716, the hospital
expects to profit 49,080 fiscal year 2016.
A 113 percent increase from last year’s
loss of $369,953.
Before the official meeting began,
the Board and others in attendance were
treated to a tour of the radiology
department by Radiology Director Darren
True.
Included in the tour were the
differing rooms used for procedures
such as x-rays, ultrasound, MRI,
CT, and mammography. True cited
that
the
hospital
performs
approximately 590 x-rays, 185
ultrasounds, 230 CT scans and 125
mammograms per month. He also
noted that the MRI system has a 1.5
Tesla magnet which is typical of
larger hospitals in terms of the
resolution quality of images. The
hospital’s digital images are stored
on in-house serves and backed up
by Novarad. In the event of a
system crash or destruction from a
natural disaster, for example, the
hospital can a acquire new
equipment
preloaded
with
previously backed-up image files.

A Thayer County officer pursued Sutterlin East on Neb. Hwy. 8 at speeds
exceeding 100 mph into Jefferson County where the Nebraska Highway Patrol
and a Fairbury PD officer deployed spike strips. Sutterlin stopped the vehicle
and continued to attempt to flee on foot. Officers were able to catch and arrest
the resisting suspect with the assistance of a taser. Sutterlin was unarmed and no
weapons were found in the vehicle according to Jefferson County, Neb. Sheriff’s
office. A female passenger was detained and later released.
The Mitchell Co. Sheriff’s officer saw unknown items being thrown from
the car during the chase, and numerous items were recovered from the vehicle
which matched the description of items reported missing from a burglary at
Lakeside Convenience West of Glen Elder that occurred sometime after closing
on March 23. Lakeside Convenience owners Tim and Laura Benoit reported
damage to a door on the property as well as theft of money and cigarettes. The
case remains under investigation by the Mitchell Co. Sheriff’s Department.
Sutterlin is currently being held in Jefferson County, Neb. and has felony
warrants in Marshall County, Kansas.

State Champion autographs
St. John’s/Tipton Assistant Coach Sheri Eilert was one of the first fans
in line to get autographs from her State Champion Lady Jays.
Sophomore Brenna Eilert is shown autographing Coach Eilert’s self

State basketball Champions.
In a short meeting on Monday morning, the Mitchell County
Commissioners received reports from from Mitchell County EMS and the Public
Works Department.
EMS Director Kelly Hawk along with Assistant Director Eric Hamel to
present financial reports which showed an accounts receivable balance of
$61,097. Hawk and Hamel spoke to the commissioners about the continuing
changeover to new reporting and billing software. The department is now
utilizing Delisa’s Medical Billing Services out of Delphos. Hamel noted an
already noticeable reduction in the time required to perform and fulfill reporting
and accounting requirements. The new service is expected to streamline
operations to help minimize overhead and man hours in terms of reporting,
billing and collections. Delisa’s service is also helping the department to
generate revenue and reimbursement opportunities from previously untapped
sources such as mileage for transport of patients to the airport when an aircraft is
unable to land at the hospital.
Public Works Director Larry Emerson reported that they have been busy
with picking up snow fence and preparing to perform dirt work at the landfill.
They are also working on Fallon Road off of K Road to improve drainage.
Emerson also said that they are continuing to scout and test potential sand and
gravel sites. An agreement has been reached with Ron Heller on such a site.
Heller will receive $3.30 per ton or approximately $4.62 per cubic yard figured
at 2,840 pounds per. Typically, the County has equated cubic yards to 3,000
pounds of material.
Emerson also presented possible bicycle signage to put up in the county as
previously discussed. There were few examples available, but the
Commissioners felt there was a sign that simply said “Bike Route” which is
highly visible because of its chartreuse color. The Commissioners requested that
the organizers of the movement to get bicycle signage placed in the county

80th birthday card
shower for Lois Gengler
I am a male,
over 60, gray, balding and
noticeably overweight. Because
of back problems, I choose to
wear suspenders instead of a
belt. So, why is it that women of
all ages think it’s OK to snap
my suspenders, or at least
express a desire to do so? Most
recently, it was a younger
woman on the staff of a hospital
ER while I was waiting for my
wife to be treated.
I’m fairly certain that if I
were to snap their bra straps,
they would slap my face and
call the police, and rightly so.
Why, then, do these ladies
believe they have a right to put
their hands on me? -- Lost for
an Answer
We have no clue
why anyone, male or female,
would think it is OK to treat
your suspenders as though they
were a child’s toy to play with.
You likely appear to others as
jocular and friendly, which
makes them treat you as though
you are familiar and accessible - their favorite uncle. And there
may be something about
suspenders that encourages
people to touch them. But this
doesn’t excuse their behavior.
If someone approaches you a
little too closely, feel free to
back away or ask them to keep
their hands to themselves.
Another option, of course, is to
cover the suspenders with a
jacket or sweater. And, readers,
please keep your hands off the
merchandise.
I read the letter
from “Hurting for My Brotherin-Law.” She said her brotherin-law’s wife died, and her three
sons from a previous marriage
put her first husband’s name on
the headstone. I can understand
their reasons.
My mother remarried when I
was 17, and she died 15 months
later. Her second husband asked
my permission not to use my
father’s name on the headstone.
It seemed reasonable, so I
agreed. The headstone only
shows her maiden name and
that of her second husband.
Years passed, and I had only
minimal contact with my
stepfather, who died a long time
ago. My grown children never
knew him. They worry they will
be unable to find their
grandmother’s
burial
plot
because they don’t easily recall
my stepfather’s last name. I
phoned the cemetery and
requested that they crossreference Mom’s married name
with my maiden name (my
father’s name), but they refused.
In years to come, my
children’s descendents may
wish to know where their
grandmother is buried, but her
second husband of one year will
not be remembered. -- G.
You should make
certain that your papers include
your mother’s married name so
that future generations will have
a record of it and can locate her
gravesite. You also might find
out from the cemetery whether
you can add anything to the
headstone or who can give you
the authority to do so -- perhaps
your stepfather’s children, who
may not have any objection to
your adding your father’s name.

Hosting minors is a crime
Dear Editor:
Are you thinking of hosting a
party with alcohol present for
your son or daughter and his or
her friends? Do you think that
allowing your child to host a
party in your residence or on
property that you own is
innocent teenage fun? Think
again.
Unlawfully hosting minors
consuming alcoholic liquor or
cereal malt beverages is a Class
A misdemeanor. A minor is
anyone under 21 years of age.
The minimum fine for this
violation is $1,000. Other
penalties could include jail
time, probation, community
service, an alcohol evaluation,
and alcohol education classes.
These laws are strictly enforced
in the City of Beloit and
Mitchell County.
More specifically, the State
and
City’s
law
reads,
“Unlawfully hosting minors
consuming alcoholic liquor or
cereal malt beverage is
recklessly permitting a person’s
residence or any land, building,

Even if you are not furnishing
alcohol to the minors on your

party on property that you own
or occupy, and they were so
invited by you or your child,
you could be charged with
Unlawful Hosting. “Property”

SMITH CENTER – The Mid-Continent League all stars and
the all stars of North Central Kansas met up again at the 5th annual
Sunflower Shootout all star basketball games at Smith Center on
Saturday, March 21, with each team winning one game.
The boys game was a long distance shootout as the two teams
combined for 22 3-point baskets as the MCL boys won 108-100.
The 108 points by the MCL boys was a new shootout record for a
team.
Six players scored in double figures for the MCL boys with
Kameron Schmidt of Thomas More Prep/Marian leading the way
with 15 points. Deon Lyle of Norton, Smith Center’s Mason
Buckmaster, and Jaden Williams of Stockton added 14 points
apiece, and Stockton teammates Christian Hamel and Justin
Wiltfong chipped in 11 apiece. Phillipsburg’s Sam Sage and Eli
Lohrmeyer of Ellis added 9 points apiece, Brent Gehring of
Plainville 8, and Hill City’s Ethan Gansel added 3 points.
Chad Gross of Linn led the NCK boys with 21 points, with
Pike Valley’s Casey Jensen adding 17, Connor Katt of Hoxie 14,

with 9, Regent Erickson of Decatur Community 7, Pike Valley’s
Peyton Reeves 5, Matt Stutsman of Northern Valley 4 and Kelden
Breth of Decatur Community 2.
“This was the most exciting boys contest in the shootout to
date,” said recreational director Mike Hughes. “It was a close
contest throughout.” The MCL boys led 52-50 at the half. “It was
fast paced contest with a lot of shots from three point range and a
few slam dunks.”
Plainville’s Chris Drees and Butch Hays of Ellis coached the
MCL boys, while the NCK coaches were Jamie Wolters of
Osborne and Tim Breth of Decatur Community High School.
The NCK girls led 42-23 at the half and held on to win 86-68.
The NCK girls led by 30 points on a couple of occasions, but the
MCL girls kept chipping away and got within 20 on a few
occasions.

Schamberger and Linn’s Kesiah Thalmann added 10 points apiece.

Center, who filled in on game day for an ill Mallory McQueen,
also played but did not score.
“I was proud of the MCL girls,” Hughes said. “They were
behind the whole ball game but never gave up. They kept
scratching away and never gave up. It was a better game than the
score indicated.”
“I also want to thank Shawn Baker and Addison Kingsbury
for filling in at the last minute. Kaley Broeckelman of Beloit was
scheduled to play for the NCK girls but was still injured from a
previous game and could not play, so Shawn was contacted to fill
in. And McQueen was ill on the morning of game day and
Addison quickly made arrangements to fill the roster.
NCK coaches included Brittni Oehmke from Linn and
Southern Cloud’s Tyler Williams, while Alexa Rogers of Stockton
and Plainville’s Ron Wolf coached the MCL girls.
Three point contest winners were Brianna Casey for the girls
and Connor Katt for the boys.
“These were a great group of kids and represented their
schools and communities well,” Hughes stated. “We appreciate
them giving up their time to participate, as well as the coaches.
And to all the fans that turned out to support these athletes. They
saw two great games by some great athletes.”
“We want to thank USD 237 for use of their facilities, the
Smith Center Chamber of Commerce for their support and
furnishing the drinks, the SonShine Church for the concession
stand, the Smith County Kiwanis Club and Smith Center Rotary
Club for taking tickets, to the SCTV crew for filming the game for
the DVDs that go to the athletes, the Smith County Bank for
providing the noon meal, Graphics Central for the posters, and
Nick Linn and the Entrepreneurship class for doing our programs,”
Hughes added. “Also to all the volunteers that gave of their time
to pull this event off as we couldn’t do it without them.”
The Sunflower Shootout was sponsored by the Smith Center
Recreation Commission, and co-sponsored by Landmark
Implement, Solid Rock Construction, Simmons-Rentschler
Mortuary, and Nex-Tech.

Thanks for the ride Blujays
By Sharon Sahlfeld
St. John’s Catholic High
School
hosted
a
State
recognition celebration on
Monday, March 23. With the
Lady Jays winning the 2015
Class 1A Division II State
Championship and the boys the
State Runners-Up there was a
lot to celebrate.
The girls finished their
record season at 24-2 as State
Champions.
The 2 seed Lady Blujays
hung on to win a game of
offensive runs against No. 7
Wetmore the opening round of
State competition with a 52-49
victory. St. John’s-Tipton then
went on to prevail defeating
Norwich 26-24 in the semifinals
and controlling the State
championship game versus
Moscow 45-35. The Lady
Blujays held both Norwich and
Moscow under 24 percent
shooting from the field on their
way to their first ever State
Championship after having
picked up their first State win
just three days prior.
It was the second State
basketball title in as many years
for St. John’s-Tipton who won a
State championship on the boys
side last season. The boys fell
just short on their repeat
attempt, falling 72-61 after the
game was tied at 50 to start the
fourth quarter in a rematch of
last year’s title game versus
Sharon Springs.
Along with these huge
accomplishments, the school
also won the Sportsmanship
Spirit Award and recognized
cheerleaders Shanell Criswell,
Erin
Frankhouser,
Sarah
Katsiyiannis, Yessenia Ayala,
Delaney Weisel, Reganne
Barker, Avery Gates, and Claire
Pastrovich as cheering on their
teams.
Both teams coaches were
proud
of
their
players
accomplishments and spoke to a
group of Blujay fans on Monday
who joined in to celebrate the
moment. Coaches spoke of their
achievements and the obstacles
they overcame to get to the
State tournament and videos
were watched a tribute. Players
also expressed their gratitude
back to those same coaches and
to their teammates and fans.
Assistant boys Coach Gery
Hake spoke for Head Coach
Lance Bergmann who could not
attend due to a funeral. “The
boys always focused on the task
at hand,” said Hake as he
continued to take about their
season and the way they
performed. Seniors Andrew
Eilert, Garrett Mishler, Geroge
Meyer, Linden Hake, Trey
Dubbert, Riley Gates, Michael
Schmitt and Alex Katsiyiannis
were recognized as seniors who
would be missed on next years
roster.
Up
and
coming
underclassmen were recognized
as ones to reckon with for next
years season.
Senior Trey Dubbert spoke
about the coaches and how
they don’t always get enough
credit for what they do for the
players. “I also want to
congratulate the girls,” said
Dubbert. “We as a team were
glad to be a part of their ride
as State Champions.”
“We grew as players and
teammates,” said Dubbert. “I
hope we can take this
heart and enthusiasm for the
State title.”
“They made adjustments
on the floor and I want to
congratulate the ladies for
believing in the system here for
St. John’s/Tipton.”
“None of this could have
been possible without the
support of the parents with
their giving us the ability to

St. John’s/Tipton Lady Blujays Head Coach Keith Kresin spoke about the Championship team season.
experience further into our
lives and into our education
and
hope
for
the
underclassmen to take it over
next year. I couldn’t be more
proud of the season we had.”
Lady Jays Coach Kresin
talked about the Lady Jays
season.
“Wow,” All I can say is
Wow,” Kresin said. “What an
accomplishment for these
girls to be Class 1A Division
II State basketball Champions.
One Dream, One Team!”
“These girls showed a lot
of enthusiasm all season
long,” said Kresin. “We had a
lot of ups and downs, more up
than down, but we built trust
through those downs and the
girls just got better during the
roller coaster ride. We won
the pre-season tournament in
Osborne and went into
Christmas break at 5-0.
“The girls then struggled
with an identity crisis and
with playing overall as a team
late in the season,” Kresin
said. “We made some changes
after the Hill City and
Thunder Ridge loss. We
upped our defense and gave
some girls opportunity to play
as best as they could. Our
changes got better and we
then went on a 9-0 winning
streak entering Sub-State. We
beat Wetmore to survive
which set us up against
Moscow and played with
coach these girls,” said Kresin.
“It wouldn’t have been possible
without the parents.”
St. John’s/Tipton will
return all their players on the
roster with having no seniors
this season.
“Let’s keep this roller
coaster ride going,” said
Kresin. “We have a lot of work
ahead of us but I am so glad to
be a part of this team.”
Kresin talked about his
junior varsity team and then
gave a little insight on his
starters.
Lady Jay Assistant Coach
Sheri Eilert gets emotional
about the teams season.
“Oh my gosh,” Kresin
said about junior Gabbie
Smith. “She would run into a
brick wall for you.”
“A master of the game,” is
sophomore Elizabeth Walter.
“She didn’t want to ever make
the same mistake twice.”
“Sophomore Brenna Eilert
is one of those players
everyone wants on their team,”
said Kresin. “She is a true
athlete that makes the plays and
makes other players confident
with her presence on the floor.”
Junior Sami Hollerich is
the most consistent player on
the team,” Kresin said. “She
communicates and knows her
role. She is always involved in
the key plays.”
“Junior Chloe Miller came
off back surgery and was
questionable this season,” said
Kresin. “She was a big key for
us and got better and better
each and every game.”
Kresin
ended
with
thanking his assistant Coach
Sheri Eilert for being a key
component to making the St.
John’s/Tipton
girls
understanding what he wanted
out of them. “TRUST,” built.
We all had trust with her as a
key factor.”
Coach Eilert became
emotional when talking about
both teams’ seasons. She
congratulated the boys on a job
well done and spoke about her
Lady Jays.
“Six years ago the school
gave me a chance to coach
junior high basketball and I told
the girls then that the Pike Trail
League Championship was
great but winning State is

fantastic. The girls made the
plays with no regrets and
made it happen.”
Brenna Eilert spoke on
behalf of her team in thanking
everyone that came together
and talked of hopes of coming
back next year and do it all
again. Chloe Miller expressed
her gratitude with the support
she received after her back
surgery
and
the
encouragement she had to
press on. Hollerich said, “I
knew we could make it all the
way.”

What we will remember when we look back are the times
when kindness made a difference in our lives. The family
of Eugenia “Jean” Boden would like to thank everyone for
the prayers, cards, food, flowers, phone calls and
memorials. A special thank you to Dr. Concannon and the
MCHHS Nursing staff, for the great care they provided.
Thanks to Father Kieffer for his visits and the funeral
service. Also, thank you to St. John’s and St. Theresa’s
Ladies Guild for the funeral lunch. Your kindness to our
family is greatly appreciated.
memorial funds coming into the Foundation by improving
communication between the Foundation and the hospital. In order
to expedite the process from the receiving of funds to putting the
funds to use in a way to create the most impact for the hospital and
its patients as soon as possible while still honoring donor’s wishes
and making the best decisions in terms of allocating those funds.
The new guidelines were approved by the Board.
A reminder was also given regarding approaching “Doctors
Day” activities on March 30 including an elementary art contest
for grade school students with a theme of “Why Doctors are
Special”. Five winners in each age bracket will be selected.
In his administrative report, CEO Armstrong discussed efforts
by Kancare and the Kansas Hospital Association to expand
Medicaid. He reported a loss in revenue to the hospital of $147,000
due to the Affordable Care Act.
“Money is going back to D.C. because of reimbursement cuts
due to no expansion of Medicaid in Kansas. There are 30 states
that have not expanded (their programs),” Armstrong said.
Armstrong added that MCHHS is in favor of expanded
eligibility requirements for Medicaid to help fill the gap between
subsidized care for those with an ACA policy and those without
insurance. He said that the White House and Senate are looking to
cut $500 billion from Medicare and proposed cuts such as this
usually get scaled back, but there will ultimately be cuts. It remains
unclear when they will come and how much they will amount to.
Darren True gave an update on the Studer program which is
being utilized in changing the hospital’s internal and patient
evaluations to be more comprehensive and objective using a
system that weights items proportionally as they contribute to
overall service scores.
Eldon Koepke gave the finance report which included the
announcement that another $100,000 is coming to the hospital due
to a new bid on the damaged roof and that there is a potential for
an additional $80,000 on top of that. It was also learned that the
insurance deductible would be doubled from $5,000 to $10,000.
Following the budget approval, the Board approved a $30,724
bid from BM Construction to repair dilapidated sections of the
employee parking lot on the West side of the hospital. The Board
also approved the opening of a new checking account at the
Guaranty State Bank to help ease reconciliation of credit card
payments by reducing the requirement of authorization to transfer
funds from two people to one person in the account which carries a
typical balance of $500.
Armstrong then made a request to create a full-time Human
Resources assistant position with responsibilities including
handling employee benefits, orientations, time and attendance
tracking as well as additional paperwork involved with the Studer
program and ACA requirements. The request was granted by the
Board.
Armstrong also addressed CEO and Board self assessments.
Board members Brigit Gasper and Mike Heller volunteered to
research and present suggestions for updating these internal
evaluation processes.
Service Awards were also announced for staff who have
reached milestones in terms of years of service. Included in this are
Buffy Kadel, Nursing, 35 years, Jo Albert, Lab, 35 years, Susan
Dillner, Nursing, 35 years, Michelle Murrow, Accounts Payable,
15 years and Eldon Koepke, Administration, 10 years.
The meeting concluded following an executive session with
the Board and Armstrong involving medical staff credentials.
