The Heart Choices Pregnancy and
Parenting Resource Center held it’s
annual banquet on Thursday, April 23 at
the Beloit Municipal Building. There
were 300 in attendance, making it the
largest annual banquet ever for the nonprofit organization.
The event began with an introduction
by Curt Frasier and an uplifting opening
prayer from Pastor Billy Neumann of
Bible Baptist Church in Osborne. Those
in attendance enjoyed a catered meal of
pulled pork, chicken breasts, green beans,
corn, scalloped potatoes, macaroni salad,
jello and bread from Buffalo Roam
Steakhouse in Mankato.
Following the meal, Executive
Director Alice Thompson delivered her
annual address highlighting Heart
Choices’ accomplishments for the year
and laying out their goals for the future.
In the previous year, the organization’s
four locations in Beloit, Concordia,
Smith Center and Osborne served 142
clients including 90 new clients. Heart
Choices served 34 male clients during the
year and encourages them to utilize the
center. They provided material assistance
to 813 people including at least 180
packages of diapers and reached 802
students
with
sexual
integrity
presentations.
Two big developments announced by
Thompson during her address included
establishing regular hours at the
Concordia satellite location in the
basement of the Cloud County Health
Department on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
It was also announced that Heart Choices
will have access to a mobile ultrasound
unit which will also be in Concordia
one day per month and is a free
service to clients.
Thompson read a testimony
from a client who was 15 when she
first came to Heart Choices. The
young lady wrote that she felt safe,
comfortable and not judged and
added how difficult feeling any of
those things is for a pregnant 15
year old. She went on to say that she
felt as though she greatly benefited
from the classes, mentorship and
assitance. She ultimately completed
high school and college and is
married to the father of her child.
She also said the area is blessed to
have this ministry.
Thompson shared this and other
examples of the work they do to
help those in similar situations to

LUCAS – A major hail storm hit Lucas in Russell county on Friday night,
April 24. The hail started at 6:20 p.m. and came down for nearly half an hour
causing severe damage to buildings, vehicles, crops and anything in its path. The
hail was reported as ranging in pea size to golfball size and larger and covered the
ground two to three inches deep in some locations. They also received one inch of
rain.
The Lucas town of 393 had 40 hail reports from the public, trained spotters
and the media within 15 miles captured from the online StormerSite report. The
largest report was inside Lucas of 2.75 inches.
The Russell County Sheriff’s office reported damage to trees, roofs, cars and
windows across the county.
Other nearby towns receiving hail included Hays, Great Bend, Russell,
Beloit, Ellsworth, Hoisington, Ellinwood, Minneapolis, Plainville, and Osborne.
A possible large tornado was reported by meteorologists with a supercell near
Sylvan Grove. Also 80-90 mile per hour winds uprooted trees with close-range
power flashes. Schools were cancelled today so staff could clean up the damage.
Sylvan Grove and Lucas schools were closed due to hail damaged windows and
skylights, allowing water to get into the buildings according to principal Jude
Stecklein. Teachers and towns people gathered to help cleanup at the school the
night of to keep water from getting into the building as much as possible. The
towns grocery store also had roof damage so bad it was leaking water. There were
no reported injuries due to the hail. Beloit was able to stay clear from the
extensive storm damage but received one needed inch of rainfall.
General News
Monday, April 27, 2015
Two years ago,
I made a big mistake. I married
a widower and agreed to move
into his house in a large city that
is a 30-minute drive from the
small town I love living in.
I now realize that I absolutely
hate living in the city and, more
importantly, living in the home
that he and his late wife picked
out and decorated together.
Initially, he said I could make
changes to the house, but the
only changes he is willing to
make involve replacing wornout things with newer versions
of the exact same style and
color. I thought I could
redecorate using some of his
things and some of mine to
make a home of our own.
Instead, I feel like a permanent
houseguest.
I love my husband, and our
relationship is wonderful except
for this issue. Here’s the real
problem: I recently learned that
I have metastatic breast cancer. I
cannot bear the thought of
living what’s left of my life in
his house and in this city.
Three years ago, he said he’d
move into a condo in five years.
Last month, he said the same
thing. I know he’s not ready.
But he is 81, and I am 70, and
it’s time to downsize. He knows
how I feel, because we’ve had
quite a few discussions about it.
But because he’s most likely
going to outlive me, I don’t feel
it’s fair to ask him to move to
another place when he doesn’t
want to.
He owns a condo in my
hometown that he rents out. I
own a house that is rented out,
although mine still has a small
mortgage on it. I’m thinking of
asking him not to renew the
rental on his condo so we can
stay there some of the time and
in his home the rest of the time.
I am so torn inside. What do
you think? -- T.
We think you have
suggested
an
excellent
compromise -- live in the condo
part of the time, and in his
house for the rest. You also
could stop renting your house
and live there part of the time.
Should your husband outlive
you, he can move wherever he
chooses. Right now, you should
not be stressed about your living
situation, and we hope your
husband cares enough to make
you as comfortable as possible.
We think he will want to do
whatever he can.
You printed a
letter from “M.W.,” who doesn’t
like to travel because she suffers
from motion sickness.
When I lost the sight in one
eye, my ophthalmologist said
I’d no longer get airsick or
carsick. He said a NASA
astronaut discovered that by
closing one eye, the dizziness
from the effects of being
weightless went away. He was
right. I can now fly and look out
the plane window or read while
riding in a car and suffer no ill
effects.
I have told several people
who suffer from carsickness to
close one eye or wear an eye
patch, and they have reported
back that it worked for them.
Maybe this will help others. -One Advantage
Thanks for
the interesting suggestion. We
hadn’t heard of this before, and
we hope our readers who have
this problem will try your
solution.

Post Rock Extension Answers
By Neil Cates
Post Rock Extension District Agent – Livestock Production

For grazing cattle, horn flies
represent the largest problem
among
external
parasites.
Losses come from reduced
weight gain, less efficient use of
forage, treatment of diseases
transmitted by arthropods,
direct physical harm and the
cost of trying to control or
reduce pest populations. When
horn flies are controlled,
growing cattle are estimated to
gain an extra .2 lbs. per day. I
recently listened to a webinar
from Justin Talley, Extension
Livestock Entomologist for
Oklahoma State University in
which he offered some excellent
recommendations regarding fly
control.
Fly tags in the ear can be an
effective tool against horn flies
if used correctly. Studies have
shown that horn fly populations
can develop resistance to most

of the insecticides used in tags.
To avoid resistance, rotate
chemical class of tags annually.
A three year tag rotation is best
according to Dr. Talley. He
advocates using the following in
a rotation: abamectin (year 1)
organophosphate
(year
2)
pyrethroid (year 3). Each
product kills the insect in a
different way and represents
different resistance categories.
Do not use pyrethroid tags more
than once every three years and
do not use organophosphate tags
more than two years in a row.
It is recommended that two
tags per animal be installed
unless the label says differently.
If a calf is still with the cow, it
does not need to be tagged. The
calf receives product from the
cow.
One of the most important
things to remember when using
fly tags is to remove them at the
end of the fly season when they
lose their effectiveness. If tags
are left in, there is still a little
product being exposed to the
flies, but not enough to kill
them thus, leading to resistance.
Do not tag cattle more than
once per season regardless of
insecticide class.
Another control tool available
is insect growth regulator (IGR)
included
in
a
mineral
supplement.
The important
thing to note on IGR is that it
does not kill adult horn flies. It
kills larvae in the feces.
Supplements with IGR are most
effective when the majority of
cattle in the herd consume the

mineral and when non-treated
cattle are not nearby, such as
neighboring pastures.
Start
feeding IGR supplements before
the fly population becomes a
problem or within 15 to 20 days
of the last hard freeze. IGR
works best in combination with
chemical control at a later date.
The general threshold level to
begin fly control is when fly
counts show 50 flies per side of
the animal or 100 flies total.
The economic threshold for
flies (number of horn flies per
animal at which the value of
damage is equal to the cost of
control) is 200 flies per cow.
Cows in poor body condition
will suffer production losses
from lower fly populations so
their threshold is 100 flies per
cow. For best results with fly
tags, they should be installed in
late May or early June. Most
tags should provide control for
three months, so waiting until
June will allow the tags to, still
be effective in July and August
when Horn fly populations are
typically highest. If tags are
installed too early, then you
might not receive the control
you need in August.
Fly control can be achieved in
many ways through selfapplication devices, pour-ons,
ear tags and spraying. There are
a wide choice of insecticides,
costs and effectiveness. It is
important to practice these
methods of fly control in a way
that minimizes development of
resistance. Delaying treatment
until animals have at least 200
flies, rotating classes of
insecticides used and removing
tags when they are no longer
effective are all steps to
minimize the development of
resistance.

Safety first

Health Fair on Saturday.
Wiles, Horn receive graphic art awards
HAYS -- Fort Hays State
University graphic design
students have been busy this
semester, both on campus and
on the road.
Students under the direction
of Karrie Simpson Voth,
professor of art and design,
completed a successful month
by earning scholarships from
the prestigious Leo Burnett
Company out of Chicago.
Representatives from Leo
Burnett visited campus recently
for a portfolio review for 35
graphic design students.
Leo Burnett awarded $5,000
in scholarships for FHSU
students, with a matching
amount going to the graphic
design program. Fort Hays State
is one of only three universities
or colleges in the country that is
part of the Leo Burnett
scholarship program.
Earlier in the month, 23
graphic
design
students
participated in the American
Institute of Graphic Arts
Portfolio 1-on-1 Review in
Minneapolis, Minn.
Fort Hays State students were
unable
to
compete
for
scholarships since they aren’t
Minnesota residents. However,
FHSU still impressed those
from large and small design
studios who reviewed the
students. As a result, there are
several internship and job
offers in the works for Fort
Hays State students.
FHSU also dominated a
recent competition in Wichita.
Fort Hays State won six of the
10 prizes awarded at the AIGA
Student Portfolio Forum, where
nine colleges and universities
competed.
The FHSU winners from the
Leo
Burnett
scholarship
competition and the AIAG
contest in Wichita:
First:
Shaysa

WAMEGO
–ÊThe
26th
annual
Kansas
Sampler
Festival will be held May 2-3
in Wamego’s City Park. More
than 150 Kansas communities
will showcase what there is to
see, do, hear, taste, learn and
buy in the state.
ÊTowns from Atchison to
Ulysses will offer day trip
suggestions and promote their
tourism attractions. Exhibitors
in large tents show what to see
in particular counties or
regions. For example, in the
Dickinson County tent you can
learn about the Kansas Auto
Racing Museum in Chapman
and also see a sheep shearing
demonstration by Hope’s
Abeldt Family Sheep Farm.
Outside of the tents you’ll find
Hedrick’s Exotic Animal Farm
of Nickerson as well as the
pack goats and Mammoth
donkeys of Council Grove’s
Paradise Ranch.
ÊMore than 50 Kansas
entrepreneurs and artists will be
selling everything from glassbottle milk to handcrafted
metal art in three big tents. The
public can view the works of a
dozen Kansas photographers
and
enjoy
workshops
throughout the weekend.
The Native Stone Scenic
Byway will be conducting a
class on how to build a dry
stacked stone fence during the
festival on the festival grounds.
People can sign up to help
build this permanent fence at
http://Wabaunsee.com/ .
Native American dancer and
educator, Dennis Rogers of
Topeka, will perform a new
program, “Native Country”
with Jami Amber Lynne of
Basehor. Rogers also performs
at the 5th Annual Wakonda
Indian Festival held at Glen
Elder State Park on July 18-19.
Historic performers will do
portrayals on well-known
people like Amelia Earhart and
Doc Holliday but also about a
wagon train school teacher and
a Dust Bowl farmer.

Western Farm Show
Billed as, Nearly everything
an agribusiness professional
would need or want, this year’s
54th edition of the Western
Farm Show lived up to its
slogan.
Each year thousands of
farmers,
ranchers,
school
children, FFA youngsters and
urbanites attended the two-day
event at the American Royal
Complex in Kansas City.
Farmers and ranchers spend
hours walking around the
400,000 square feet of displays
of
machinery,
buildings,
livestock equipment, tools, feed
and seed and the more than 500
exhibits.
Veteran Doniphan County
farmer Neil Coufal has attended
the farm show since he was a
kid nearly 60 years ago. Like so
many of his peers, he attends the
annual event to walk around and
see what’s new. He drove 70
miles to the show.
Coufal likes to look at and
learn about new farm and ranch
products. It’s also a day to leave
the farm behind and visit with
those attending the show.
“It’s a lot of fun,” Coufal
says. “It’s an opportunity to see
friends and neighbors.”
The Doniphan County farmer/
stockman spends most of the
day at the Western Farm Show.
He takes his time and it usually
takes hours to see all he wants to
see.
A couple years back, Coufal
purchased a chopper for his
combine. Equipment dealers at
the show often run specials.
At the 2015 edition, Coufal
visited the Abilene Machine
display. Here he inquired about
side mirrors for his tractor.
“I pull a grain cart behind my
tractor and it’s difficult to see
around the sides of the cart
driving down the road,” he says.
While visiting with a
salesperson at the exhibit,
Coufal asked for a quote and
plans to buy the mirrors.Ê
Hardi North America from
Davenport, Iowa displayed their
sprayers at this year’s show. The
company, which originated in
Ontario, specializes in sprayers.
Sprayers range from small
pull type units to the large 1,300
gallon self-propelled machine
with 132-foot booms. Hardi’s
target audience ranges from
small farmers to commercial
applicators.
Jeremy O’Hare, Hardi rep.,
says the show offers a “terrific”
venue to showcase their
equipment.
While most of the farm showgoers include farmers and
ranchers from Iowa, Kansas,
Missouri
and
Nebraska,
approximately 3,000 high
school students affiliated with
FFA attend the two-day event as
do people from the Kansas City
area.
Many of the city dwellers
grew up on a farm or still have
parents farming. Some are still
interested in seeing and learning
about what’s happening in
agriculture.
This show provides a great
opportunity
to
talk
to
manufacturers and suppliers
without
experiencing
the
pressure of buying such
equipment. It kind of blows
some of us away seeing what’s
going on in this industry today.
John Schlageck is a leading
commentator on agriculture and
rural Kansas. Born and raised
on a diversified farm in
northwestern
Kansas,
his
writing reflects a lifetime of
experience, knowledge and
passion.Ê

A dog trainer is pictured with a German Shepherd service
animal at the Mitchell County Health Fair held at the the
NCK Wellness Center gymnasium on Saturday.
Marci Penner will pepper the
crowd with Kansas questions at
The Stump each day at 10:30
a.m., 12, 1:30 and 3 p.m. Prizes
will be awarded.
Bierocks,
schnitzel
sandwiches, bison hot dogs,
fruit kabobs, homemade ice
cream, Swedish baked goods,
smokehouse
salads
and
Scottish sausage are just a few
Kansas specialty items served
by 22 food vendors.
Festival overseer WenDee
LaPlant of the Kansas Sampler
Foundation
said,
“Local
festival director Michelle
Crisler and her team in
Wamego went over the top last
year in planning the successful
event and are eager to welcome
everyone again to Wamego, the
smallest community to ever
host the state’s largest traveling
festival. Wamego City Park,
known for its unique Dutch
Windmill and beautifully
landscaped tulip beds, will
provide a beautiful backdrop
for visitors and exhibitors
alike.”
A project of the Inman-based
Kansas Sampler Foundation,
the festival is a kick-off for the
tourism season. LaPlant said,
“The annual event is like a
living brochure of all things
Kansas has to offer.”
Festival hours are Saturday,
May 2, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and
Sunday, May 3, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Admission fee is $5 for adults
and $3 for children 7-12. For
