CAWKER CITY – A threat of
fires continue as the drought situation
results in dry conditions that even a
single spark can ignite. Two fire calls
alone resulted in Cawker City as
firemen and police officials were
called out to the scenes, Monday,
March 30. The first afternoon call was
a structure fire located at 911 Locust
street. According to Mitchell County
Undersheriff Tony Perez, the fire
resulted from a spark off of an old
meter box located on the power pole.
The spark apparently hit the grass
which made contact with a lawn
mower and then spread to the garage.
Very little damage was reported. A
second spark was thought to have
resulted in the same manner at the
Ball of Twine gazebo structure after 5
p.m. It did not result in a fire.

Snyder to represent Kansas at international event
By Sharon Sahlfeld
Beloit will be in the national
spotlight this summer thanks to Sherry
Snyder and her decision to improve the
quality of her life.
Snyder, 68, of Beloit, was honored
this past weekend at the 2015 TOPS State
Recognition Day celebration in Wichita
where she was crowned the Queen of
Kansas in celebration of her overall
weight loss and lifestyle change since
joining TOPS 15 years ago.
TOPS -- Take Off Pounds Sensibly -is the short name for TOPS Club, Inc.,
the original nonprofit, noncommercial
network of weight-loss support groups
and wellness education organization.
TOPS offers tools and programs for
healthy living and weight management,
with exceptional group fellowship and
recognition
Snyder not only reached a goal she
has been striving for since 2000, but also
beat the odds of being alive at age 68 as a
sole surviving daughter of her family.
Her father died of a massive heart attack
at age 60 and her mother – who weighed
270 pounds at the time of her death -succumbed after a heart attack and bypass surgery. Her sister died at the age of
64 and her first cousin at age 62.
“I am grateful to be alive,” said
Snyder.
Snyder started attending TOPS in
Beloit in 2000 after wanting to avoid a
personal health crisis. She weighed 238
pounds at the time.
Her goal was 150 pounds and today
she weighs in at 148 pounds.
“I nearly reached my goal in two
years, but became scared and regained
half of the weight back.” said Snyder.
“Clearly I had more lessons to learn. I
regret that it took me so long but it takes
as long as it takes. Never give up, I say!”
Snyder has been struggling with her
weight loss since fifth grade.
“Whenever I would look at the stars
or pray to God, I would ask to be a
normal weight,” said Snyder. “I did not
know how to lose weight so I would
skip meals at school and chew a lot
of gum.”
After struggling with her
weight issues, Snyder -- with the
encouragement from her son,
Donnie -- decided to join the weight
loss support group. Her son had his
own issues and had a gastric bypass surgery after weighing 300
pounds.
“He is very faithful in what he
has to do to keep off his weight,”
said Snyder. “He writes everything
down he eats in a journal and ran 14
miles just last week. He was the one
to motivate me to reach my goal
and to stop messing around this last
year on taking off the final pounds
to reach my goal.”
Synder said when losing weight
a person can reach a plateau which
makes it very difficult to advance
any further. She reached that
plateau and started using the book,
“The 100” by Jorge Cruise to reach
her final goal.
“I not only succeeded with my
weight loss, but my husband Bob
who follows the food plan with me,
also lost 84 pounds,” said Snyder.
“Since my weight loss I have been
able to quit taking a lot of my
medication. I went from three high
blood pressure pills to half of a pill
and dropped my gastric reflux
medicine. I have stayed on the
cholesterol pill because of my
family history.”
Snyder also makes several trips
to the Wellness Center for exercise
as she works on the treadmill three
times a week, weight lifts twice a
week, takes group classes three
hours a week and swims on the
weekends.
“The center has been amazing,”
she said. “They have helped me set
up a weight lifting routine and every
Sherry Snyder was crowned 2015 TOPS Kansas Queen this past
weekend. She will represent the state again in July at the International
Recognition Days in Reno, Nevada.

After qualifying nine wrestlers for the State Championships in
Topeka this past weekend, the Beloit Wrestling Club brought home
four State placings. Shown are front row: Brogan Monty, 6th place,
8 & Under, 46 weight division. Monty wrestled all season in the 6 &
Under but had to move up in the State competition; Cameron
Konkel, 3rd place, 10 & Under, 110 division. Back row: Creighton
Johnson, 3rd place, 12 & Under, 190 division, ; Brennan Walker,
6th place, 10 & Under, 100 division..
The Mitchell County Commissioners met on Monday morning prior to
meeting with respective county department heads. Options were presented and
discussed regarding work to be performed on the causeway south of Cawker
City. Pre-scoping estimates for the project by the Central Federal Lands
Highway Division totaled $750,830. The post-scoping estimates came in at a
substantially higher $1.03 million due to the discovery of flood repair concrete
sub-grade that must be removed. An additional factor is in traffic control costs
which will be incurred to keep the needed roadway open during the construction
project which is expected to be completed on a 96 day schedule.
The County will have $620,000 in grant funding to offset costs of the project,
but the difference between the pre and post-scoping estimates now leaves a
$414,616 gap to be filled. Commissioner Mike Cooper said he had been
contacted by residents who wanted to see the roadway widened to accommodate
more farm machinery. The Commissioners agreed, however, that additional
engineering costs required to widen the road enough to accommodate even a
slight increase in access for wider implements is not feasible in terms of the cost
to benefit ratio. The Commissioners favored Option Y which provides the most
overall benefit for the money. It includes 12,365 total feet of new three cable
guardrail on either side of a 1.17 mile stretch of roadway. A 75 stall parking area
is also included in the project cost. The Commissioners are looking into the
possibility of reducing the number of parking spaces to 50 in exchange for an
additional 1,200 feet of guardrail.
Michelle Heidrick and Glada Cooper appeared representing CASA (Court
Appointed Special Advocate) to present a quilt fundraising project. Squares will
be sold in two sizes for $50 and $100 dollars. The Commissioners agreed to
donate $100 to the project which is expected to raise $7,700 for the local CASA
program which is in serious need of volunteers to represent at risk children in
court. Heidrick reported that 10 weeks of volunteer training classes began last
week with five members. Her hope is that getting a few more people involved
will jumpstart the program, and that more people will be willing to volunteer
knowing there are others to share the work load. Once completed, the quilt will
hang in the hall outside the courtroom of the courthouse.
Chairman Tom Claussen noted the opening of the new Shopko Hometown
store in Beloit and expressed appreciation for the two $2,500 checks presented to
Beloit and St. John’s schools at the Grand Opening event last Friday.
Public Works Director Larry Emerson reported that he had received pricing
on three varieties of road oil the county uses. The medium set oil was down ten
cents from $2.39 per gallon while the price of the other two varieties stayed
level. Emerson also reported that digging of a new landfill pit began on Monday.
The Commissioners granted Emerson signature approval as needed for the
bridge project over Walnut Creek on the Tipton blacktop near K Road.
Construction will begin sometime after wheat harvest as that section of road will
be closed for the duration of the project.
The Commmissioners are traveling to Salina today for the NCK Highway
Association official’s meeting. The gathering will join representatives from 16
NCK counties to exchange knowledge and ideas. The next Commissioner’s
meeting is scheduled for 8:30 a.m., Monday, April 6.

Glen Elder Senior Center
My son lives in
California and is going to marry
a local girl in the fall. Our entire
family lives in the Midwest. My
husband and I, along with our
daughter’s family, will attend.
But I know it is far too
expensive for any of my
relatives to be there.
Should
they
receive
invitations even though we
know they can’t come? I don’t
want it to seem like a gift grab.
Do I have a “meet the bride and
groom” party in our hometown
after the wedding? What is the
proper procedure?
I have another question, too.
My husband and I are retired,
but are giving our son and
future daughter-in-law a large
sum of money to help with
wedding costs. As the parents of
the groom, we will pay for the
rehearsal dinner, but what about
the rest? What are our
responsibilities when it comes
to out-of-state guests? -- Don’t
Want To Get Another Job
If these
are close relatives, they
probably would be hurt or
offended to be excluded. Please
invite them. They may wish to
send a gift whether they attend
or not. But you can skip more
distant acquaintances, such as
business associates or people
you rarely contact. And should
you decide to have an informal
reception of your own after the
wedding, that would be lovely
and much appreciated.
As for expenses, your son
should be covering most of
them without your assistance.
These days, most couples split
the costs, perhaps with help
from
their
parents.
Traditionally, the groom or his
parents would be responsible for
his
attendants’
accommodations, along with the
officiant’s fee and travel costs.
Other
out-of-town
guests,
however, are on their own. They
should be given information
about available hotels in the
area, and you can supply a gift
basket to each room so the
guests have something to nibble
on should they arrive too late to
find an open restaurant. (Some
hosts provide a hospitality suite
or include all out-of-towners at
the rehearsal dinner, but this is
optional and certainly not a
requirement.)
Our
congratulations
on
your
upcoming special event.
I want to
respond to the letters you’ve
printed about relationships
between mothers-in-law and
their son’s wives.
When I first married my
husband, my MIL was great -shopping,
vacations
and
activities
with
the
grandchildren.
When
her
parents experienced health
problems, I helped care for
them, including trips to the ER
in the middle of the night,
checking in on them daily and
managing their health care
needs for 15 years. Meanwhile,
my mother-in-law continued her
traveling and active social life.
When her parents died, they
left me an inheritance that
ticked off my MIL. (Mind you,
had she paid someone for the
care I was giving, there would
have been no money left.) My
MIL never calls anymore, and I
only see her on holidays, and
she barely acknowledges me.
She has given her daughter a
trip to Europe and her other son
a home makeover, but my
husband receives nothing. I am
cordial and polite, but things
will never be the same. -- FedUp Daughter-in-Law
You became
the daughter her parents needed.
When you were rewarded, it
underscored her guilt, and that
made her angry. We’re so sorry.

Furnishing alcohol to minors is a crime
Dear Editor:
This letter is the second of
three to inform the public about
the risks, dangers, and
consequences of underage
drinking. The Healthy Families
Coalition, City of Beloit, and
Mitchell County ask that
parents and all adults within our
community consider the longterm effects of their actions
when it comes to minors and
alcohol.
Furnishing alcoholic liquor or
cereal malt beverage to a minor
is defined as, “Recklessly,
directly or indirectly, buying for
or distributing any alcoholic
liquor or cereal malt beverage
to a minor.” A minor is anyone
under 21 years of age. This, of
course, excludes wine used by
any church or religious
organization for sacramental
purposes.
Published Monday, Wednesday and
Friday, except on New Year’s Day,
Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Sharon Sahlfeld, Editor
Chad Hallack, Ad Sales
Rhonda Claussen, Production
Rick Larson, Circulation
Furnishing alcoholic liquor or
cereal malt beverage to a minor
is a Class B misdemeanor. The
minimum fine for this violation
is $200. 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.
As with the social hosting
law, the culpable mental state
for the accused person is not
“intentionally” or “knowingly”,
but rather “recklessly.” Kansas
law states, “A person acts
“recklessly” or is “reckless,”
when such person consciously
disregards a substantial and
unjustifiable
risk
that
circumstances exist or that a
result will follow, and such
disregard constitutes a gross
deviation from the standard of
care which a reasonable person
would exercise in the situation.”
A person can “furnish”
alcohol to a minor by selling
alcohol,
giving
alcohol,
providing alcohol, or supplying
alcohol. Each activity is a
crime. Allowing a young person
access to alcohol in your home
or not restricting access to
alcohol can be considered
furnishing. Purchasing alcohol
and leaving it for a person at a
specific location, such as a
vehicle, is a crime. You don’t
have to specifically give the
alcohol to the minor or hand it
over to the minor to be

convicted of this offense.
If you have a teenage son or
daughter and perhaps an older
child over the age of 21, talk to
your children. Openly discuss
the crime of furnishing alcohol
to minors and make sure your
older child is aware of the
ramifications of supplying
alcohol to those under 21. A
Class B misdemeanor is a
serious offense on anyone’s
record, no matter what age.
Remember that young people
that begin drinking as teenagers
are more likely to become binge
drinkers, develop an alcohol
dependence, and abuse alcohol.
The first step is to never provide
or furnish alcohol to minors.
The next step is education. As
you educate your child on the
dangers of drinking alcohol,
educate yourself and your child
on the law of furnishing alcohol
to minors.

GLEN ELDER – We hope
that everyone has a Blessed and
Happy Easter. Spring has
sprung as they say and I have
seen some of the flowers
bloom. What gives me the
biggest hint is that all my snow
birds have came back home but
two and they are due in the first
week of April. It is so nice to
see all of them back home again
safe and sound.
I have been watching across
from the center to look and see
if the white tail squirrels are
back this year. They seem to
entertain us more than the
others.
The last birthday of the month
brought a huge crowd into the
center. I wasn’t here of course,
but the girls told me that they
served 67 people in our center
alone that day. A new record for
a birthday here. I am also going
to thank Farmway for coming
and treating the patrons to a
meal while also giving them a
update about what is going on
with them.
We will be seeing the ladies
from Downs here again on the
7th for sugar check. The 8th we
will be having a birthday for
Rita Stramel, Linda McGuire,
Judy Dean and Ollivia Neifert.
The menu that day is chicken,
scalloped potatoes, carrots,
rainbow jello and dinner rolls.
Hope to see you here.
Beginning the week of the
13th Cawker City EMS will be
here to see us so mark your
calendars to come in and listen
to what they have to say and get
your blood pressure checked.
On the 15th Linus will be
here to play the piano for us.
The patrons love to listen and
tap their toes.
Things slowed down until on
the 22nd which happens to be
Earth Day. We will be
celebrating four more birthdays.
Nancy Pinschmidt, our assistant
cook, Joan Neifert, Vada
Winkel and Sally Herndon. The
meal that day will be roast beef,
mashed potatoes and gravy,
mixed vegetables, strawberry
ambrosia and dinner rolls.
Come on out and celebrate with
us. Don’t forget that the 30th of
April is National Honesty Day.
A few interesting facts for
April are:
April is known as Global
Child Nutrition Month, Humor
Month
and
Mathematics
Awareness Month.

Kansas Hispanic families in 4-H
By Ron Wilson, director of
the Huck Boyd National
Institute for Rural
Development at Kansas
State University
“Prometo: Mi cabeza para
pensar claramente, mi corazon
para mayor lealtad, mis manos
para mejor servicio…” No, I
don’t speak Spanish, but I have
learned that those are the
opening words of the 4-H
pledge in Spanish. Today we’ll
meet an innovative 4-H club
which is helping extend the
benefits of 4-H to a new
dimension of Spanish-speaking
families.
Steve Irsik is an agricultural
entrepreneur
in
southwest
Kansas. His family created
Royal Farms Dairy east of
Garden City. Kyle Averhoff was
brought in as manager. A key
element to the success of such
large, modern dairies is the
workforce – many of whom are
Hispanic.
In October 2012, Steve Irsik
contacted Debra Bolton, the KState Research and Extension
family and consumer sciences
specialist for the southwest area
of Kansas.
“We were brainstorming how
4-H could reach more families,”
Debra said. Specifically, they
discussed how the benefits of 4H could be applied to the newly
immigrated families who had
come to work in southwest
Kansas.
“Royal Farms Dairy is home
to over 14,000 cows and heifers
and about 65 employees, many
from El Salvador, Guatemala,
and many other countries
throughout Central America,
South America and up through
Mexico,” Kyle Averhoff said.
“Southwest Kansas is an
economic empire in how it’s
developed and grown. Without
the Hispanic culture and the
culture
of
many
other
immigrant
populations,
it
wouldn’t have been possible.”
K-State
Research
and
Extension faculty in the
southwest area developed a
pilot program to reach out to
this
segment
of
the
population. It was supported by
state 4-H leader Barbara Stone
and the Kansas 4-H Foundation.
Bertha Mendoza is a nutrition
specialist in the southwest area
of Kansas, and her existing
relationship
with
several
Hispanic families was a major
help.
These families and those of
the workers at the dairies
became a target for this
innovative
4-H
program. Alejandra
Romero
and Ruddy Yanez were hired as
summer interns to assist with
the project.
The goal was to create one
club of 25 to 30 youth, but the
interest grew faster than
expected. The end result was
four clubs involving 90 youth,
with hundreds more on a
waiting list. The clubs are
located in Finney, Gray, and
Kearney counties. These new 4H members live in or near rural
communities such as Garden
City, Ingalls, Pierceville, and
Deerfield, population 892
people. Now, that’s rural.
The 4-H organization has
been around for a long time, but
it was new to these immigrant
families. Club meetings were
implemented bilingually. For
example, the 4-H pledge would
be said in Spanish and then in
English. The club involved
youth, parents and even
grandparents.
“The concept of 4-H caught
on,” Debra Bolton said. “This 4H club is more than youth
development, it is family
development. It’s family, it’s
education, it’s learning, it’s all
the things that integrate a family
into a community.”
“They are very family
focused,” Kyle Averhoff said of
his working Hispanic families.
“We think that 4-H is a nice
add-on to that, to help their
children have opportunities to
develop. We can look at
countless stories of how our
employees have grown and how
their children have grown and
become successful members of
society.”
“It’s created such a great
learning community,” Debra
said. “It’s
even
received
national
recognition. The
National 4-H wants one of our
4-Hers to sing at the national
gala.”
“The more we can do for the
children, that’s going to lift up
the whole family,” Steve
said. “It will truly lift up these
families.”
“Mi salud para mayor
bienestar, para mi club, mi
comunidad, mi patria, mi
mundo.” Those are the closing
words of the 4-H pledge in
Spanish. We salute Steve Irsik,
Kyle Averhoff, Barbara Stone,
Debra Bolton, Bertha Mendoza,
Alejandra Romero, Ruddy
Yanez, and all those involved
who are making a difference by
helping
more
families
experience the benefits of 4-H
in a whole new way. I believe
this is very good: Muy bueno.

BELOIT – The softball
season for Beloit began on
Thursday as the Lady Trojans
hosted Clay Center in a double
header. Clay Center came from
behind to force extra innings
and took a 3-2 win in game one.
In the second game, Clay
Center asserted themselves
offensively for a 10-4 victory.
In Game 1, the Lady
Trojans struck first. After a
leadoff walk of Josie Wilson,
Shaylyn Krone came up in the
four spot with an RBI single to
score Wilson and take a 1-0
lead.
After pitching a pair of
perfect innings to start the
game, Arrica Overmiller got the
first two Clay Center batters in
the third before Allie Wright
singled for their first
baserunner of the game.
Autumn Adams followed with
an RBI double and the game
was tied at 1.
Beloit retook the lead at
2-1 in the bottom of the fourth
with an RBI triple by Grace
Marozas which brought in
Overmiller who had singled
and stolen second. Overmiller
and Megan Blake continued
to battle in a pitchers dual
throughout the next two
innings. Clay Center knotted
things back up at 2-2 in the
top of the seventh. A two out
hit by Adams put the tying
run on base and a pair of
Beloit errors helped her
around the paths to score the
tying run.
In the Beloit half of the
seventh, Wilson managed a
two out walk to reach base for
the fourth time in the game and
put the winning run on first
first, but a fly out to left by
Maeve Spangler sent the game
to extra innings. In the eighth,
the Lady Trojans held Clay
Center down and came up in
the bottom of the inning
needed one for the win. Abby
Bean singled, stole second and
reached third on a fielder’s
choice. Krone then walked to
put runners at the corners with
nobody out. Bean was tagged
out trying to score on an infield
hit by Audrey Shamburg and
Beloit ultimately came up
empty in the inning.

tie in the top of the ninth after
Adams reached base and stole
second before being brought
around thanks to a go ahead
double by Lorren Williams.
The Lady Trojans went down
1-2-3 int he bottom of the ninth
to give the Lady Tigers a 3-2
win. Megan Blake got the win
for Clay Center allowing two
runs over nine innings while
striking out nine, walking three
batters and allowing six hits.
Overmiller pitched well for
Beloit giving up six hits but
striking out three and allowing
just one earned run.
In game two, the bats got
busier. Especially for the
visitors. Sam Carson hit a
leadoff triple to start things
right for Clay Center who got
out to a 2-0 lead. Beloit battled
right back to tie it a two in the
bottom of the first with runs
scored by Spangler after a
single and Krone who reached
on a fielder’s choice. Clay
Center came up in the top of
the second and regained the
lead. Hannah Swihart reached
base on an error followed by a
Katelyn Bohnenblust single
and a walk of Sam Flickenger.
The Lady Tigers took
advantage with back to back,
two RBI singles to extend the
lead to 6-2. The Lady Tigers
tacked on two more runs in
the sixth with two outs after
Wright was hit by a pitch and
Williams singled. Hammel
drove home both runners with
a double and was called out
trying to stretch her way to
third base. Beloit attempted to
rally down 10-2 in the bottom
of the seventh after a leadoff
walk of K. Brown and another
hit for Wilson. The Lady
Trojans got to within 10-4
before Krone struck out
against Taylor Mall to end the
game with a runner on.
Courtney Hammel picked up
the win for Clay Center
allowing two runs over five
inning on five hits while
striking out three. Ashten

transformation today in year 2015 as Sherry Snyder lost over 85 pounds through the TOPS
support group.
time I reach a plateau they
change it around so I can
achieve what I need to.”
TOPS meet in Beloit every
Wednesday with an individual
private weigh-in before each
meeting. Members start with
sharing their own personal
challenges, successes, or goals
in dealing with weight loss. A
brief program covering a
variety of health and wellness
topics is presented to the group
and a quick business meeting is
held before the closing. Each
meeting closes with a thought
for the week or other
inspirational activities.
The organization works for
individuals through making
real changes in their lives.
Awards such as charms are
given to those losing weight
for every ten pounds lost and
for being the biggest loser of
the week. Snyder’s charm
bracelet is loaded and weighted
down
after
all
her
achievements.
“We are supportive to each
other and we share our
frustrations with trying to lose
weight,” said Snyder.
She said it is very difficult
during the holidays to maintain
her program.
“I am a very private person
which I think comes along with
being overweight,” Snyder said.
“When overweight, you try not
to draw attention to yourself.
When I was told about being
honored with the crowning and
representing the whole State of
Kansas I had conflicting
feelings.”
Snyder came to the
conclusion if anything, she
needed to help others through her
story and her accomplishments.
“I need to help motivate
those out there that don’t think
they can achieve what I have
done,” Snyder said.
Snyder attended the TOPS
State
Recognition
Day
celebration in Wichita and was
part of a parade honoring
individuals who have lost at least
75 pounds. They had to show
their before and after clothing
and show their new appearance.
She also took part in the
Circle of Life ceremony for
KOPS--Keep
Off
Pounds
Sensibly members.
“This
graduation
of
weight loss is a very moving
event for those who have
accomplished their goals,” said
Snyder
Snyder was crowned the
new Queen of Kansas dressed
in a long white formal gown.
“I now have a hard time
converting down to the way I
am today at 5-foot-4,” said
Snyder. “I went from a size 24
to a size 12.”
Snyder says it’s never too
late and encourages anyone
out there struggling with the
same issues to seek support.
“The weekend was very
inspirational listening to other
people’s stories,” said Snyder.
“The president of Tops Club
International gave an address
that was wonderful.”
Snyder will represent the
State of Kansas TOPS
organization
at
the
International
Recognition
Days in Reno, Nev., in July.
“I will be honored to
represent the state of Kansas,”
Snyder said.

The old red barn
When I was a youngster, one
of my favorite places to play on
a cold winter day was my Uncle
Joe and Aunt Anna’s weathered
red barn. Uncle Bernie had one
too and it was also a must stop
when we went to see our
cousins.
This
warm,
cluttered
sanctuary
served
up
a
smorgasbord
of
playing
opportunities. It was also a
relaxing place, especially if it
was raining or snowing outside
and the weather was too bad to
work. During winter, time
usually wasn’t as pressing as it
was during fall or spring
planting, wheat harvest, haying
or crop cultivation time.
About the time I was growing
up, the popularity of tractors
marked the end for many barns.
Some were taken down while
others were abandoned or
replaced with Quonset huts
made
of
plywood
and
galvanized steel.
We didn’t have a beautiful
red barn on our farm in
Sheridan County. Instead, my
dad built a machine shed and
what we called “The Big Shed.”
It was 90-feet long and housed
our tractors, grain drills, trucks
and other farm equipment.
When we had a bumper wheat
crop, all the machinery was
cleared out and it was filled
with golden grain.
Why were so many barns
painted red?
Probably the biggest reason
was the ferric oxide, which was
used to create red paint. It was
cheap and the most readily
available for farmers.
The wooden barns that dotted
the prairie countryside weren’t
generally a good example of
housekeeping. In my uncle’s
barn, old, dusty horse blankets
and cobweb-covered horse
collars hung from wooden pegs
or rusty nails. Hay tongs also
competed for space. Here and
there a busted plow stock
leaned against a wooden wall.
Some barn corners were
crowded with pitchforks and an
occasional
come-along.
Tangled, broken bailing twine
littered the damp dirt floor
mingling with the smells of
rusting iron, manure and
mildewed leather.
As youngsters the hay mow
(rhymes with cow) or hayloft
was where our parents searched
for us when we were hiding in
the barn. While there were
always wooden steps or a ladder
to crawl up to this upper floor,
we’d try to find new routes to
the top. We’d risk life and limb
crawling up the side of the barn
grabbing onto anything that
would hold our body weight or
lassoing a post or board above
and climbing the rope, hand
over hand, to the loft.
Once inside this cavernous
space, we’d marvel at the
wooden pattern of the rafters
high over our heads. We’d yell
out at the pigeons or starlings
who tried to invade our private
world of kid adventures.
If there were bales or
scattered hay outside one of the
two large doors at either end of
the hayloft, we’d often make
the 15-20 foot plunge into the
soft landing.
Hay was hoisted up and into
the barn through these doors by
a system of pulleys and a trolley
that ran along a track attached
to the top ridge of the barn.
Trap doors in the floor allowed
animal feed to be dropped into
the mangers for the animals. As
youngsters of nine, 10 or 11,
these doors also made a perfect
getaway during hide and seek
as we jumped through and
made our escape.
Exploring the tack room with
all of the bridles and saddles
was my favorite. Before I could
ride, I’d struggle to take one of
the saddles off the wall so I
could place it on a sawhorse
and pretend to ride like my
hero, Roy Rogers.
And finally, who could forget
the many idioms we heard
about barns as children. You
remember, “You couldn’t hit
the broad side of a barn.”
“Were you born in a barn?” and
“Your barn door is open.”
Today, many of the old
fashioned barns we knew as
children are gone. They’re
mainly memories when folks
with farming backgrounds visit
at reunions or weddings. Still,
these memories provide a warm
glow of yesteryear.
Remember that bitter cold
day in January of ’61 when the
winter winds whistled under the
eaves of Aunt Anna’s barn and
the icy rain played tic-tac
against the cobweb-blotched
windows….
