Neighborhood kids also joined in on the base-ball game fun, and Belgard and Burch had a“pretend” concession stand, selling items out oftheir parents' garage—like an oil can that was a“soda” and wrenches that were “candy bars.”

NEW Yoder Location at the corner of Red Rock Rd. & Yoder Rd.

NORTH NEWTON—March 2015 marked the50th anniversary of theSelma-to-Montgomery his-toric walk that helped getthe Voting Rights Actpassed.

Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr., led the 50-mile trek,and some people connectedto Bethel College in NorthNewton were part of themarch and will have theirown reunion from 10 a.m.to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct.10, in Seminar Room A inSchultz Student Center aspart of the college's annualFall Festival.

“Basically, it's for peoplewho want to come and benostalgic,” said OmerGalle of North Newton,who went on the 1965march. Those whomarched and anyone elseare invited to the come-and-go reunion.

He'll have a PowerPointset up with photos he tookwhile there, which will ro-tate in the corner of theroom, and Galle plans togive a brief outline of an18-page paper he did onthe topic.

At the time, the now 77-year-old didn't know themarch was going to godown in history.

“You seldom knowyou're in a moment of his-tory until you're past thattime,” the retired professorof sociology and populationstudies said. “It was themajor positive act in theCivil Rights Movement.”

This march was quiteinfluential.

“In early 1965, MartinLuther King, Jr.'s, South-ern Leadership Conferencemade Selma, Ala., thefocus of its efforts to regis-ter black voters in theSouth,” according to his-tory.com. “That March,protesters attempting tomarch from Selma to thestate capital of Mont-

gomery were met with vio-lent resistance by stateand local authorities. Asthe world watched, theprotestors (under the pro-tection of federalized Na-tional Guard troops)finally achieved their goal,walking around the clockfor three days to reachMontgomery.”

The event raised aware-ness of the hard time blackvoters were having in theSouth and the need for theact, which passed later in1965, the website stated.

Galle said he taught oneyear at Bethel College,1963-64, and DwightPlatt, now Bethel emeritusprofessor of biology, alsotaught there. Platt is thebrother of Galle's wife,Zona. At the time of themarch, Galle and Zonalived in Nashville, Tenn.

“Dwight called Zona inMarch and said he had 25people who wanted to goon the march from Selmato Montgomery,” Gallesaid.

At the time, Plattwanted to know if any

group from Nashville wasgoing, as he was concernedabout driving into Ala-bama with out-of-state li-cense plates. They hadabout four carloads of stu-dents and others.

“Alabama was a littlehostile to outside agitatorsat the time,” Galle said.

“So Zona went down tothe First Baptist Churchin downtown Nashville,which was the biggestblack Baptist church inNashville (Rev. KellyMiller Smith was the pas-tor), and where there wasa meeting going on regard-ing travel from Nashvilleto Montgomery,” Gallewrote in a paper he did onthe subject. “She walkedup to the front of the meet-ing (I wasn’t there, but agood and dear friend Bon-nie Myers, who was ayoung woman involved inthe movement inNashville, and talks 'goodsouthern' said to me once,'The first time I ever sawZona was when this littlewhite girl walked up to thefront of this big Black Bap-

tist Church to ask Rev-erend Kelly Miller Smithwhether some 25 or sowhite students fromBethel College in Kansascould ride on their bus toMontgomery'), and it wasagreed that they couldcome along.”

Zona didn't go becausetheir children were young,and she stayed with them.

Even with possible dan-ger, the Bethel contingentwent.

“They drove through thenight—well, one night anda day,” Galle said, addinghe boarded the bus goingfrom Nashville to Mont-gomery with the rest of thefolks from Nashville andthe Bethel contingent.

Galle said they arrivedfor the final march intoMontgomery at City of St.Jude, the fourth campsite,which allowed King and2,000 other marchers theuse of its 36 acres. There,marchers found rest on theathletic field and had aStars of Freedom Rally,according to www.nps.gov.

“What I remember of it

was there was an emptyfield and a lot of people,”Galle said.

Galle said the marchwas five days and thatthey entered Montgomeryon March 25.

“We marched into therewith all the other peopleand sat and listened toPeter, Paul and Mary, andJoan Baez,” Galle said.

“I remember marchinginto the City of Mont-gomery and realizing veryquickly that we were notat all welcome there,”Galle wrote in his paper.“There were 'federalized'Alabama National Guardtroops lining the streets onboth sidewalks [withweapons], as we marcheddown the middle of thestreets, on our way to theState Capitol of Alabama.[…] Their faces were notwelcoming, nor were thewhite citizens of Mont-gomery who stared at usfrom behind the lines ofthe National Guardtroops.”

Galle also had the pleas-ure of hearing King givehis “How Long, Not Long”speech on the state capitolsteps at the end of it all.

Platt, a North Newtonresident, planned the trip.Fifty years later, Plattsent e-mails to people whowent on the march, askingthem what they remem-bered. He got some re-

sponses. Then, he sent theresponses to the others,and someone mentionedhaving a reunion, so Over-land Park resident and1968 BC alum BettyWyckoff is the reunion or-ganizer and host. Plattalso will host the event.

“I really am a minorplayer in all this,” Gallesaid.

He was one of about25,000 protesters in themarch, however. He re-called going into Mont-gomery, and the presidentcalled in the NationalGuard, who wore uni-forms. On their shirt pock-ets, he remembered seeingConfederate flags sewn on.

“That, at least, showedtheir sentiments,” Gallesaid.

Gov. George Wallace re-fused to protect themarchers, but PresidentLyndon B. Johnson sent inthe U.S. Army, NationalGuard, FBI agents andfederal marshals.

After the big rally wasover, Galle said theywaited for the bus to pickthem up, and they werethe recipients of someglares. When they re-turned to Nashville, theyheard on the news awoman who was drivingmarchers back to Selma,Viola Liuzzo, had beenshot and killed by the KuKlux Klan.

Pucker up for delicious lemon pudding cookiesMother Nature

can’t seem tomake up her

mind as to whether we’refully in the days of fall orif she wants to hold ontosummer a bit more, butdespite fall being my fa-vorite time of year and de-spite the flavors of fallbeing some of my fa-vorites as well, I’m notquite feeling ready to giveup the flavors of summer.

With that in mind, Iwas drawn to a recipe forsome lemon cookies thatuse a pudding mix. Ithought they’d be the per-fect thing to share withsome friends at a gather-ing, and they turned outreally well—the perfectway to say goodbye to thecitrus flavors of summer.

This recipe comes fromthe blog “Amy’s HealthyBaking.” You can find theoriginal at

http://amyshealthybak-ing.com/blog/2014/04/08/double-lemon-pudding-cookies/.

Double Lemon Pudding Cookies

Ingredients4 tablespoons melted

butter2 eggs2 tablespoons vanilla1 3/4 cups flour1 1/2 teaspoons baking

powder1/4 teaspoon saltthe zest of one,

medium-sized lemon3/4 cup, plus 2 table-

spoons sugar1 box lemon pudding

mix (I used instant)

DirectionsBeat the butter, eggs

and vanilla in a mixingbowl.

Add in the flour, baking

powder, salt, zest, pud-ding mix and sugar, andbeat until the ingredientsare well-incorporated.

Refrigerate the doughfor about 30 minutes tohelp the cookies staythick while baking.

Preheat the oven to 350

degrees and drop thedough by the tablespoon-ful onto a prepared bak-ing sheet.

Bake for 10-15 minutesor until the cookies areset up.

Store in an airtight con-tainer with waxed paper

between layers of cookiesto keep them soft andmoist.

I didn’t have to worryabout taking cookieshome with me after wegot together with friends.These turned out moist,

soft and had just the rightamount of lemon flavor.They were definitely a bighit with the group.

We may still have a fewmore days of 90-degreeweather, but I’ve alreadybeen working to locate myfavorite sweatshirts andsweaters in the back ofthe closet.

And as we say goodbyeto September and hello toOctober, I suppose we canall enjoy this one lastlemon dessert before wesay hello to pumpkins,crunchy leaves and coolevenings.

OMER GALLE/SPECIAL TO NEWTON NOWThe Bethel College contingent had a “Kansas Mennonites for Freedom”sign during the Selma-to-Montgomery march.

To have a plan, you haveto plan to have a plan.

At its Monday nightmeeting, the NewtonBoard of Education spentroughly an hour workingon its future strategic planand how it would go aboutcreating the plan.

Lester Limón, a consult-ant with Gravity Works,sat with the board to helpthem with the process.

“I would like this groupto step back and ask whatis the philosophic goal ofthis district and say we'regoing to meet that goal,”he said.

School Board MemberCarol Sue Stayrook Hobbsasked Limón what theirassignments were beforethe next strategic planningsession, and he told themto think of the thesis of thedistrict and what theywanted it to be in the fu-ture.

He also recommendedthinking of members of thepublic who may give useful

input during future stagesof the process.

From conversation atthe meeting, it sounded asif the strategic planningprocess will be a continu-ing item of discussion andstory line in the comingmonths.

In other news, the dis-trict approved policychanges including thosesurrounding searches andinvestigations of studentsfor illegal activity.

Under district policy,principals are authorizedto search students if thereis reasonable suspicionthat rules or policies of thedistrict have been violated.

Students are told whythe search is being con-ducted, and the search iscarried out with anotheradult present.

The change in policyadds that the principalshall then call the stu-dent's parents and maycall law enforcement.

It also adds that a stu-dent's refusal to cooperatecould result in a discipli-nary action or assistancefrom law enforcement.

If law enforcement con-

tinues a search, the princi-pal shall be present.

The changes also outlinethat in cases not involvingknown or suspected childabuse, law enforcement of-ficers are not permitted toinitiate or conduct investi-gations involving studentquestioning during schoolhours without a parent orguardian's permission, avalid warrant or a demon-strated emergency.

The changes and revi-sions in policy stem fromdiscussions about studentrights and privacy at previ-ous school meetings.

School Board MemberTim Hodge, who practiceslaw, raised concerns thatcertain practices may in-fringe on students’ legalrights and open the districtup to later litigation.

Hodge expressed his ap-proval for the policychanges.

The vote passed 6-1,with Renee Erickson vot-ing against.

ETC.-The board reviewed re-

quests for out-of-state trav-eling for the next year. The

out-of-state travels wouldbe paid for by students.District vehicles would beused, but the districtwould be reimbursed forgas. Groups requesting in-clude Robotics, Skills USA,Newton FFA, VICA Autoand Debate and Forensics.

-The board spent 40minutes in executive ses-sion to discuss personnelissues.

-Stephen Koerner andMark Lyles were hired asbus drivers, Thomas Clarka substitute bus aid, KaraNedich a substitute, andChristie Johnson and Brit-tany Miller special educa-tion paras. Ruth Woodresigned as a custodianand Connie Burkhart as abus aid.

-All board memberswere present. The meetinglasted two hours.

There are things stu-dents want to dowhen getting to

high school, like graduat-ing, joining a team, cheer-leading or making friends.

For Newton HighSchool Junior MichaelaRegier, it was building afloat.

“I have three older sib-lings, and my sister clos-est to me, she was inSTUCO, and I would al-ways hear about herbuilding floats and seeingher on the floats, and itwas something I lookedforward to being in highschool,” Regier said.

This year, Regier wason the junior class floatduring the parade, whichwas Friday evening beforethe football againstArkansas City. That gamewas postponed until Sat-urday night, however, be-cause of the lightningduring the game.

There were a great dealof people in the parade,including floats from dif-ferent classes, homecom-ing royalty, NHS andWarrior sports teams,cheerleaders, NHS classreunions, a band andschool buses. As the pa-rade kicked off, the bandplayed “I've Been Work-ing on the Railroad,” theschool song. Those onfloats threw candy to peo-ple lining First Street.

“It's really fun to seewhat everyone comes upwith every year, becausethey come up with ideasfrom scratch,” Regier said,adding she enjoys seeingeveryone's creativity.

The junior class float,for example, used a cageand dog kennel borrowedfrom Orscheln's and abulldog from Regier'scousin, so the dog wascaged on the float, be-cause Newton was play-ing the Ark City Bulldogs.

In addition, they ob-tained an octagon-shapedpiece of cardboard fromNorth Dillons and painted“Stop Bulldogs TurnAround” on the back of it.

“If you see the big red

stop sign on the back, Ipainted that,” junior SamBlaufuss said.

It's an NHS traditionevery year for people tomake floats and have theparade. From 5 to 9 p.m.the Wednesday before theevent, people gather towork on their floats.

“It's one of those thingsyou kinda get a plan, butyou end up spontaneouslythrowing it together,”Regier said, and thenworkers hope and pray itholds together. The juniorclass float held togetherfor the most part, al-though balloons were

blowing off of it as it wentdown the road to thestarting point of the pa-rade, which was in thearea of the old Kmartparking lot. The paradestarted at First andMeridian, went west onFirst, north on Grandviewand then into AthleticPark.

Floats are kept in the 4-H Building until theevent.

During Regier's fresh-man year, she said it wascold and windy, and“nothing stayed together.”

“It's always an interest-ing experience,” she said.

Homecoming court a busy bunch

As a group, the New-ton High Schoolhomecoming court

had a rather busy Satur-day. Angus Siemens andSadie Winter run crosscountry, and they had ameet in Lawrence earlierin the day. Zach Robersonwent directly from thefootball field to the side-line to accompany MaiaCuellar.

“We got back around 5,so I had a couple hours toget ready,” Winter said.

Her turnaround was ex-ponentially more thanJana Boston’s, who hadjust finished playing inthe volleyball tournamentminutes before the coro-nation.

“The second we shookhands with Hays,” Bostonsaid. “Our athletic direc-tor came up and said‘Jana has exactly 12 min-utes to get to the field.’And I said, ‘No, you canwait a little bit becauseI’m going to take a picturewith my hand sayingnumber one at our hometournament my senioryear.’”

She was in the pictureafter the tournamentchampionship win, andheaded straight to theP.E. teacher’s office,where she changed clothesand fixed her hair.

“I put my make-up on inthe car,” Boston said.

She made it to WyattDickinson’s arm with timeto spare.

The top three items at

the top of her prioritieswere “One: don’t trip, two:don’t trip, three: don’ttrip…I’m like, 5’7” anddon’t wear heels thatoften. This day has beenso much fun. So muchfun.”

She didn’t trip and wascrowned the homecomingqueen, and Siemens, whohad an hour of prep time,was named king.

Boston appeared to holdback some tears whenlooking back on the dayshe had just gonethrough.

“I’m just so happy,” she

said. “I’m so thankful fortoday and how well itwent. I couldn’t haveasked for anything better.I don’t know how to de-scribe it. I’m just on cloudnine right now. I’m sohappy.”

Boston stayed busy theentire day, something shewas pleased with.

“I’ve been so focused onwhat I need to do now, Ididn’t have time to lookahead,” she said. “I’m gladI didn’t have hours before-hand to just sit and stewabout what was comingup.”

The 52nd Annual AirCapital Fly In will takeoff this weekend at theNewton City/County Air-port.

Show organizers expect1,500 to show up to theevent, which will featureplane and helicopterrides, air displays and op-portunities for kids totake their first flight forfree.

The event is put on bythe Experimental AircraftAssociation Chapter 88out of Wichita. PresidentBill Lindsay said theevent has been held inWichita and El Doradobut has stayed in Newton

for the last eight years. “It was convenient,” he

said. “The airport was bigenough.”

Lindsay said the largedraws this year should in-clude a Douglas A-26 In-vader, a bomber that sawservice in World War II,Korea and Vietnam. Rideswill be available.

“Basically it just edu-cates people on aviation,and one of the main pur-poses we do with the showis we give kids their first

airplane ride for free be-tween the ages between 8-17,” he said.

Lindsay said a numberof the chapter's 165 mem-bers provide airplanerides cost free to childrenas part of the Young Ea-gles Program, a national

program that has pro-vided nearly two millionfree airplane rides foryouth, according to Lind-say.

“We're trying to get kidsinterested in being a pilotand in one of the numer-ous fields of aviation,” hesaid.

Lindsay said generalaviation pilots are declin-ing and the programserves as a way to combatthat trend.

“Ninety-nine percent ofthem come back with asmile on their face,” hesaid of the kids participat-ing.

Dick McCall doesn'tthink of himself as a greatphotographer. His photosdocument his and hiswife's trips aboard.

“To me, my kind of pho-tography — it's not techni-cally pure photography,”McCall said. “It's kind of astory thing — just casualphotography that tellswhat I'm doing at thetime.”

McCall and his wife,Barb, have traveled tomost places in the north-ern hemisphere and partsof the southern one, suchas Russia, all of Europe,Egypt, Jordan, Israel,China, Australia and NewZealand.

“It started before we re-tired,” McCall said abouttheir travels, adding hethinks their first tripabroad was around thetime of their 25th weddinganniversary, and nowthey've had 61 anniver-saries. McCall used toown McCall's Shoes, Fron-tier Shoes, and Barb &Company in Newton, aswell as stores in Manhat-tan, Lawrence, Pittsburg,and Emporia.

“We've traveled quite afew years,” the 84-year-oldsaid.

For one of the photos hetook in Denver of a DaleChihuly glass art piece,McCall won a blue ribbonin the recent PresbyterianManors of Mid-AmericaArt is Ageless contest. Mc-Call said Chihuly is a topglass artist, and last fall,the McCalls visited Den-ver, where they saw aChihuly exhibit at abotanical garden. Art is

Ageless is for people 65and older residing inKansas and Missouri.Works entered from morethan 50 artists will be in-cluded in Art is Ageless2016 notecards and calen-dar, according to a Presby-terian Manor newsrelease.

“I was amazed,” McCallsaid of the glass art ex-hibit. “In Denver, ofcourse, I had a field day. Ihad my camera.”

The winning photo,which appears to be anup-close shot of one of Chi-huly's works, is called “In-side the Summer Sun.”

McCall definitely has agreat deal of travel pho-tos, as he said he hasmore than 30,000 colorphotos on his computer.Before using a digital

camera, McCall put histravel photos in stacks ofalbums, which he stillhas.

Now, some of McCall'sphotos are matted, as hehad an exhibit at Mojo'sCoffee Shop in NorthNewton a few years ago.In the exhibit, there were50 photos. Some of hisphotos include those of anorange jellyfish against ablue background from theOmaha, Nebraska, zoo; ahomemade sandal inChina; Church of St.Dmitry on the Blood inRussia; flowers in Hol-land; rainforest fruit inAustralia; an old churchin Ukraine; and flowersand grapes in California.

“I've got little storiesthat go with all of them,”McCall said.

For example, on theback of the “HomemadeYangtze Sandal,” McCallwrote, “We changed fromour river ship on theYangtze to a small boatand traveled up the Shen-nong Stream—a tribu-tary—to a sampan launchsite. We boarded sampansand were pulled upstreamby the Tujia people in thesame manner their forefa-thers pulled their sam-pans full of goods tomarket. Their forefathersalso designed the jute san-dals they wore to with-stand the water and rocksand to protect their feet.”

It seems his favoritesubject, however, is flow-ers. Photos he's taken offlowers decorate the Mc-Call home.

“I'm a sucker for flow-

ers, and I've got lots offlowers,” McCall said.

McCall, who has takenphotos with Nikon andCanon cameras, enjoysphotography.

“Why does one like any-thing?” McCall said. “Ilike to look back and see

where I've been. I enjoythat particularly now thatI have digital and have itin my file. I can do it my-self and enjoy it, which, Isuppose, is why I do this.Reminiscing and lookingback at them is especiallywhy I do this.”

As the hypersonic drillscraper contraption beganto whir, I knew I would pay

penance for my extended absence.The dentist's office purchased

the machine since my last visit.The vibrating metal point some-how emitted a spray of water andcleaned teeth. But it took nostretch of the imagination to hearthe words, “Tell us what you know,Mr. Bond,” as the device nearedmy face.

I grabbed the chair arms, bracedmyself and made a silent invoca-tion: “Tartar build up, let's hopethis hurts you more than it hurtsme.”

Yes, I sinned and lapsed regulardentistry visits. My teeth hadn'tbeen bothering me, and it was oneof those adult things I neglecteddoing since becoming an adult.The result amounted to gentle butrepeated guilt trips from the hy-gienist as well the dentist.

“No, I didn't move out of state oraway,” I answered one question.

“No, I'm not seeing another den-tist,” I answered another.

Even if I had a brief dental af-fair on vacation somewhere, I was-n't about to admit it. Not with thehygienist about to operate themini jackhammer point in mymouth. Not with the flossing laterto come. No person's gums needangry flossing.

So when she noted the “calculus”(dental speak for tartar) buildupon my teeth, I could tell thatmeant for a very vigorous clean-ing. These are the prices you payfor skipping regular visits.

During the cleaning time, I sep-arated my mind from body like themonks do, to escape the scraping.

I began ruminating about mydental history.

Everyone makes the joke aboutnot wanting to go to the dentist.It's a thing. Just like complainingabout taxes or the honey-do list.

As a kid, I never understoodthat. The dentist provided me ajoyous happening. I got to reachinto a prize chest; I got free tooth-paste and a toothbrush. And I gotto pick the tooth polish flavor. Stilla mint polish man to this day, Iwill say.

I would somehow manage tochatter around instruments in mymouth to discuss dinosaurs orwhatever my annual interest hap-pened to be. I had somewhat of acaptive audience.

Now I just have a newspapercolumn.

But I got to thinking when Istopped enjoying dental visits. AndI have come to the conclusion thatit was when I got used to being incontrol.

As an adult, you have control

over everything. If somethinghurts, you stop it. If you don'twant to do something bad enough,you just don't do it. There's rarelya time where a person is so help-less or at another's mercy as in adentist's chair.

I guess I don't care for being inthat position today. As a kid you'reused to being in those situations.

I don't have any lesson to passon with that thought, just perhapsa hypothesis for our national den-tal phobia. Someone out theremight say it’s just that peopledon't like dental visits becausethings like root canals hurt.

Needless to say, I left the dentaloffice an hour later with my dig-nity intact.

Dentists and hygienists do animportant job, and I'm glad Imade the visit and have cleanteeth, even if my wallet is a bitlighter.

The cost reminded me of thosetiny privileges so many of us enjoyand don't think about. For my par-ents, the cost of my visits musthave been a sacrifice. I'm suremany people skip going due to ex-penses.

Even if we like to joke aboutgoing to the dentist, it’s somethingpeople should be grateful for.

Now keep that in mind the nexttime a drill sinks into your tooth.

Also, if you're reading this, nocavities, Ma!

Surviving a tough scrape still a privilegeColumns

What is your source ofinformation? Televi-sion, newspaper, Face-

book, Internet or Twitter? Ihave a concern for individualswho spend time studying andresearching for informationonly to use an unreliablesource. Food safety is an areain which individuals are oftenmisled. Here are some commonmyths.

Myth 1: I know my refrigera-tor is cold enough—I can feel itwhen I open it! Anyway, I havea dial to adjust the tempera-ture.

Fact: Unless you have ther-mometers built into your fin-gers, you need to use athermometer to ensure yourrefrigerator is at or below 40degrees F. And that dial? Im-portant, but it is not a ther-mometer

As many as 43 percent ofhome refrigerators have beenfound to be at temperaturesabove 40 degrees F, putting

them in the food safety “dan-ger zone” where harmful bacte-ria can multiply and make youand your family sick!

Slow the growth of bacteriaby using a refrigerator ther-mometer to tell if your refrig-erator is at 40 degrees F orbelow. And if it isn’t? Use thatdial to adjust the temperatureso it will be colder. Then, useyour refrigerator thermometerto measure again. Leave a re-frigerator thermometer in yourrefrigerator and check temper-ature often.

Myth 2: Cross-contaminationdoesn’t happen in the refriger-ator—it’s too cold in there forbacteria to survive!

Fact: Bacteria can surviveand some can even grow incool, moist environments likethe refrigerator.

In fact, Listeria bacteria cangrow at temperatures below 40degrees F! A recent studyshowed that therefrigerator produce compart-

ment was one of the “germiest”places in the kitchen, contain-ing Salmonella and Listeria .

To reduce the risk of cross-contamination in your refriger-ator:

Keep fresh fruits and vegeta-bles separate from raw meat,poultry, seafood, and eggs

Clean up food and beveragespills immediately, and cleanyour refrigerator regularlywith hot water and liquid soap.Don’t forget to clean the refrig-erator walls and the under-sides of shelves!

Myth 3: I left some food outall day, but if I put it in thefridge now, the bacteria willdie.

Fact: Refrigerator tempera-tures can slow the growth ofbacteria, but will not stop thegrowth of it in food.

If food is left out at roomtemperature for more than twohours, putting it into the re-frigerator will only slow bacte-rial growth, not kill it.

Protect your family by fol-lowing the two-hour rule: re-frigerate or freeze meat,poultry, seafood, eggs, cutfresh fruits and vegetables andall cooked leftovers with twohours of cooking orpurchasing. Refrigeratewithin one hour if the temper-ature is above 90 degrees F.

While refrigeration doesslow bacterial growth, mostperishables will only keep for afew days in the refrigerator. Tokeep perishables longer than afew days—like mostmeat, poultry, and seafood—you can freeze them.

Guest EditorialRepublicans need to holdBrownback accountableIt’s easy to contend that if “our guy did it, it must be

OK.”But Republicans who support a transparent govern-

ment should be concerned about Governor SamBrownback’s refusal to disclose the names of appli-cants for two open seats on the Saline County Com-mission after Saline County voters approved ameasure last November to expand the board fromthree members to five. After the Salina Journal andAssociated Press filed suit in January to release theinformation, a Shawnee County judge heard argu-ments and ruled last week that information about theapplicants should be on the public record.

The applications in question were not for govern-ment employment—they were applications to fill posi-tions on a commission that are normally filledthrough public elections. Citizens traditionally votefor those positions, something that isn’t done to fill areceptionist’s position in a county treasurer’s office,for example.

Locally over the past several years, there have beenseveral elected positions vacated in WashingtonCounty for various reasons, which would have simi-larities to the situation of the vacant newly-createdpositions on the Saline County board. Our local posi-tions were filled by a vote of the Washington CountyRepublican Central Committee, who also took applica-tions to fill the seats, just like the governor’s office.But in our county, not only were the names of appli-cants public, the meetings held to appoint the individ-uals were public with the applicants addressing thepublic about their interest in and experience for theposition. This is how it should be done. This is trans-parency. What Gov. Brownback did to fill the twoSaline County Commission seats felt like a hidden,backroom process—the kind of process that gives abad (but too often fitting) name to politics. This has noplace in Kansas government.

The governor also tried to say the applications wereprotected as “correspondence,” like it was some sort ofpersonal mailing between friends or family members.It is ridiculous he even suggested this.

This isn’t the first time the governor has claimed adifferent definition of a very established set of rulesconcerning open records in Kansas. Fortunately, thereare newspapers, who have the best interest of the peo-ple at heart, to call him out on it.

It is actions like this that build the belief on thepart of citizens that the government has something tohide and will thwart the law to hide their dubious be-havior. Republicans claim to want to expose the gov-ernment for overbearing actions…they need to call foropenness when it is one of their own doing the hiding,too.

Whether it is the Governor’s office, the President’soffice, a presidential candidate trying to cover up “pri-vate” e-mails or our own county commission, Republi-cans need to be champions oftransparency—regardless of the party of affiliation.

October 1, 2015 Newton Now www.harveycountynow.com Page 9OPINION

Often when looking at a largegathering of city vehiclespeople will see waste. They

wonder why there are so manypeople working on one little thing.

About a week ago, a large gath-ering of city workers was in frontof one of my properties. I stoppedby to see what was happening. Thecrew was repairing a collapsedsewer main that was found duringa routine inspection/cleaning of thelines. Down in a hole about 14 feetdeep, standing in raw sewage,were a couple guys working on re-placing a piece of sewer main.

Of course it isn’t as straight for-ward as that, since that main con-nects to houses and has severaltaps along it to bring ‘stuff’ fromhouses. Suffice it to say I was gladI am the one paying the bill andnot doing the work.

It takes a large support crew todo that job efficiently. It takes a lotof equipment and materials lyingaround waiting to be used. Youdon’t want a guy in a situation likethat with a hacksaw and duct tapetrying to patch it together waitingon a hardware store to order apiece in.

The same can be said about awater main break. Several yearsago I wrote about a crew out at 8p.m. on a very hot day working ona main until after dark. I am surethe people in the houses connectedto that main were happy the guysstuck it out and got the water flow-ing for showers, drinking, etc.

One thing that sticks out to meabout the sewer repair is I noticeda brand new backhoe. They said itwas loaned to the city for a “trial”by the company selling it. He alsosaid the current backhoe was 15years old and was due to be re-placed. I was surprised at how oldit is—having seen that particularpiece of equipment around town, I

assumed it was fairly new. It is im-peccably maintained, but like any-thing getting used 40-plus hoursper week it is just wore out whereit counts, the digging end. Thatequipment is vital to repairing abroken water main or sewer pipe,and we should want it to work thesecond it is needed.

I would imagine that further dig-ging into the age of the city stockwould reveal the same results; sur-prisingly aged inventory.

I am sure the same can be foundwith the street department equip-

ment. This is an easier departmentto gripe about inefficiencies be-cause of the visibility of what theydo.

Five guys standing around a pot-hole is easier to see than five guysin a pit full of “yum yum” from abroken sewer line. But you have tolook pretty hard to find a potholein town that goes unfixed verylong. We do have well-maintainedstreets and all infrastructure. Citi-zen reports help the quality of ourroads, if we let them know about aproblem they are pretty responsiveabout fixing it.

As much as I like to complainabout the amount of taxes we pay,we do live in an aging city. Manysections of sewer line are ap-proaching 100 years old. Some aremuch older. I am confident thesame can be said about the waterlines. The streets get looked atevery six to seven years, dependingon the zone they are in.

This year the city transferredseveral hundred thousand dollarsout of the water/sewer funds to thegeneral fund. This was to help bal-ance the budget. I would encouragethem to stop this practice andleave the money there. I am confi-dent it will be spent wisely, and ifit isn’t needed, an increase won’thappen in our rates.

I would also encourage the cityto take a page from the school dis-trict and band together and sue thefederal government to stop theirregulatory overreach. Instead ofsuing us for more money, theyneed to sue to stop them from forc-ing us to make our sewer watercleaner than it was when it cameout of the tap!

Taxes well spent on infrastructure

EditorialKudos are in order forlocal event organizers“The problem, simply put, is that

we cannot choose everything simul-taneously. So we live in danger ofbecoming paralyzed by indecision,terrified that every choice might bethe wrong choice.” —ElizabethGilbert

This is a saga about mykitchen floor. It’s overly dra-matic, as my kitchen floor

has no real relevance to anything.But against my own nature, it

has me so worked up, so flustered,and so “paralyzed by indecision,”as Elizabeth Gilbert said, that Ifind myself wondering if this mayactually be the toughest decisionI’ve never made.

Of course it’s not the toughestdecision I have made. There havebeen some big ones that far trumpthis. But for some reason that iseither mystical, cosmic or pathetic,I cannot change my kitchen floor.Or more accurately, I cannot de-cide to change my kitchen floor.

It makes no sense because I hateall that it is. I don’t use the wordhate often or lightly. But truly,with all of my heart and mind, Ihate my kitchen floor.

First, it must be as old as me,but I believe floor years worksomething like dog years, so I cal-culate at a rate of 7 to 1. Thatmakes my floor really, really old.

Second, it has a few question-able burn spots, possibly fromsomeone’s Pink Floyd days.

Third, it consists of colors thatdon’t exist in nature in a patternthat must have served to heightenthe Pink Floyd experience, back inthe day. Fourth, it’s that bad, onlyworse.

Because I take Gilbert’s abovequote very seriously, to offset

choosing what to do about thekitchen, I spray paint things androtate decor in other rooms. I havemetal chairs that have beenthrough a rainbow of colors.Benches, table, pillows, wall col-ors, they all interchange.

But this floor—this black abyssof indecision—is slowly suckingthe life out of my kitchen. It’s all Isee at all the wrong times. Mydaughter took a picture of our dogand my sister’s dog in a rare mo-ment of calm, attentively sittingside by side in the kitchen. Sheheld it up asking, “Isn’t thatcute?”

Cute? Cute?? It’s disgusting. Itlooks even worse in the picture.Try a filter.

“No, the dogs, Mom…the dogs.”Roy Disney said, “It’s not hard

to make decisions when you knowwhat your values are.”

Who knew so many beautifulquotes could apply to decorating? Ivalue floors that don’t send meinto a trance. But that hasn’t beenenough. I value wood. There’s agood chance of some of that exist-ing underneath the mess I walkon. There’s slight hope, but it’s ablind hope.

Now is a good time to credit any-one who has built a house from the

ground up, with every decisionfrom roofing to cabinet handles tolight fixtures falling simultane-ously. You have my respect. You’reeither shaking your head in empa-thy or rolling your eyes in disgustat my miniscule square footage ofpain.

I’ll make a decision. Eventually.Until then I can only scroll Pinter-est and Google images, breaking toread the occasional quote thatsomehow encourages my indeci-sion.

Things like Simone Elkeles’s, “Iwish I could turn back time, but Ican’t. I made a stupid decision be-cause I thought I was invincible,and I’ll pay for it the rest of mylife.”

The saga continues.

SHELLEY PLETTWe had the privilege of covering two large events

organized around local causes this weekend and kudosare in order for both of the events’ organizers, partici-pants and attendees.

The ninth annual chili cook-off to benefit the Har-vey County United Way was packed with plenty of de-licious and interesting kinds of chili. People had ablast as did our staff, even if it meant eating half abottle of Tums later.

Such events serve as showcases for the community. Chili, neighbors and charity make an event to be

proud of. It's also an event that should impress peoplenot native to Newton and should serve as a showcasefor the community.

The inaugural New Hope Fall Festival also had agood-sized crowd in Athletic Park on Saturday night.The event, with a concert and meal, served as a show-case for the work done at the Harvey County Home-less Shelter.

Families, guests of the shelter, and plenty of kidsenjoyed the park and the perfect weather. The eventhelped make the work and the mission of the sheltervisible and provided a bridge between the shelter, itsresidents and the greater Newton community.

All those who showed up at both events deserve apat on the back for their efforts to continue Newton onthe right path. Small acts can lead to big action.

response. “Once they become canceled,

they have to fill out the formagain,” he said.

According to numbers trackedby Piepho, as of Sept. 17 thestate had 32,095 voters with in-complete registrations, a num-ber that has doubled over thelast two years.

Of incomplete registrationsfor Harvey County, 29.3 percentwere listed as republican, 13.1percent democrat, 55.1 percentunaffiliated or no party and 2.4percent libertarian.

Piepho said that whilechanges in state policy havebeen criticized for making vot-ing more difficult or removingvoters from the rolls, other pol-

icy changes have been helpful. One such policy, he discussed,

worked to keep voters whomoved from one county to an-other from accidentally havingtheir registration removed, forc-ing them to re-register.

In other news, the commis-sion approved becoming a co-plaintiff with Johnson Countyin a suit to determine the con-stitutionality of a new stateproperty tax evaluation statutethat went in effect Jan. 15.

Under the new statute thosewho protest their property taxevaluation and have it loweredare guaranteed no increase inproperty tax evaluations for thenext two years.

The previous statute pre-vented tax evaluations increas-ing for the next year for thosewho won protests.

Piepho explained that the

lawsuit would argue that itwould be unconstitutional taxa-tion for one group of homeown-ers to have their tax ratesprotected while their neighborhad no such protection.

The county then approved itsweekly set of purchases.

Its largest payment was for$274,958 to APAC-KANSASINC for overlay services forroad projects. Total weekly pur-chases came to $389,655.

During discussion of the pay-ments, the issue of mice in thecounty building came up.

Commissioner Ron Krehbielnoticed two purchases of mousetraps by the county.

Anthony Swartzendruber toldthe board that there were micein the Harvey County CourtHouse building, especially up-stairs because of the construc-tion.

Piepho later confirmed thefact, saying that the construc-tion project temporarily made iteasier for rodents to enter thebuilding, in his opinion.

After questioned, Piepho saidthe county had no plans forfinding a cat to serve as officialHarvey County Court Housemouser.

In other news, the HarveyCounty Safehouse made a pres-entation to the county. Of note,according to the group’s infor-mation, three in five domesticviolence victims do not knowwho to get in contact with forservices. The safehouse's con-tact number is 316-283-0350.

ETC.-The County approved post-

ing a 58-year-old generator tobe auctioned online at Purple-wave.com.

Commissioners expressedtheir approval of their websiteafter the sale of an old rockcrusher recently brought morethan they expected. Commis-sioner Randy Hague said he ex-pected the crusher to sell forscrap metal. Instead, the ma-chine brought $17,500.

“It was a pleasant surprise,”County Administrator JohnWaltner said.

-The commission held a statu-tory hearing about those withsolid waste delinquencies.

-All commission memberswere present.

-Due to a dentist's appoint-ment, the reporter had to leavebefore the meeting completed.County Clerk Rick Piepho,who's in charge of keeping min-utes, later gave an update onthe final happenings of themeeting.

Kasper, of Newton, saidshe started the site becauseshe was trying to “get rid ofsome stuff” and was usingthe regular buy/sell/tradesites. She became disgrun-tled with those sites for sev-eral reasons.

“People wouldn't pick up orthey'd show up and try to[talk] me down,” Kaspersaid. “I just got frustratedwith it.”

She also had her own sellpage and then started Har-vey Co. Online Auction onFeb. 27.

The website sells “Every-thing except clothing,” saidKasper, “We have quite a fewpeople who are doing theirChristmas shopping on theauction, me included.”

To become a member, aperson can search HarveyCo. Online Auction and clickon the “join group” button.After being approved, he orshe can buy or sell. Sellersare supposed to post photosof what they are selling,starting bids and when theauction ends, which shouldinclude the day of the weekand date. They also are re-quired to describe theitem(s), which includes anycondition issues or damage.Then, the seller will contactthe winner to set up a timeand location to exchange theitem for money. They need todo this within 24 hours ofthe auction closing, Kaspersaid.

Those who don't pick uptheir items from the sellerduring the week can do so atwhat they call a “hen party,”which is a gathering of buy-ers and sellers from two web-sites—Harvey Co. OnlineAuction and Harvey CountyBetter Bid—in the parkinglot of Dollar General on MainStreet. Sometimes, they'llhold things for people, like inthe case of Kate Hiebert ofrural Newton, who said she'shad seven back surgeriesand can't always make it tothe hen party.

“Usually, people who don'tpick up through the weekpick up here,” Kasper said.

The site has buyers andsellers from a variety of areatowns, in and out of HarveyCounty. Those include Wi-chita, Hutchinson, Peabody,Walton, Potwin,Moundridge, Burrton, Hal-stead, Buhler and Newton.

The group has anotherrule—those selling who liveout of Harvey County have tomeet in Harvey County forthe pickup.

Some of their clientele arepolice officers, doctors,lawyers, and at least onebank president and a sheriff.

“Professionals who can'tget out and run the flea mar-kets and garage sales,”Kasper said.

Sheriff T. Walton and wifeKaren have been able to getrid of a power tool and someNintendo 64 video games, forinstance.

The site has also spawnedanother site—HarveyCounty Better Bid—whichkicked off in late March.

Dawn Unruh of Walton said,adding that site came aboutbecause there were so manyitems listed on Harvey Co.Online Auction.

“A lot of our members areon both sites and shop bothsites,” said Unruh, who's anadministrator on both.

Kasper, as well as others,enjoy the group.

“I think a lot of it is the so-cialization,” she said.

Another buyer/seller,Tiffany Shockey of Potwin,likes the group for similarreasons. Right now, she'smostly selling items.

“That's because we have ababy on the way,” she said atthe Sept. 24 hen party. “Myhusband keeps me on a tightbudget. It's a lot of fun. Lotsof neat people, too. I thinkwe've made lots of friendsdoing this. […] It's nice be-cause it's such a close groupof people.”

During the Sept. 24 henparty, those attending didtheir exchanges, all thewhile laughing and hugginggoodbye when they had toleave. Unruh hugged onelady, Lucy Feckner of Wal-ton, saying she was her“adopted mother.”

Another woman, YvetteEdiger of Newton, was thereto pay for a miniature Coca-Cola item she won in an auc-tion.

“I've bought a lot,” Edigersaid. “I need to quit buyingthem.”

She's purchased quite afew miniatures from Kasper,as well as antiques and vin-tage on the site.

“She's one of the ones whoknows what she wants andknows how to get it,” Kaspersaid about Ediger, addingEdiger is one of those last-second bidders.

That day, Ediger was sell-ing an old braided rug, shesaid, and was there withgranddaughter Andee Edi-ger, 3, of Newton. Edigersaid she collects Coca-Colaitems because her great-grandfather worked in aCoke factory.

Another customer, RayleneMaloun of Hesston, wasthere getting some jewelryfrom Kasper. She's been agroup member for severalmonths.

“I think ever since theystarted,” Maloun said. “Sixmonths—something likethat.”

In addition to being anadmin, Unruh also is a buyerand seller. On Sept. 24, shehad a table set up to sellthings on the spot.

“It's a good week,” shesaid, doing a little dance. “Isold more than I bought.”

Unruh is an admin oneight sites. She was home-bound for a while when hermother lived with her, andFacebook was her social life.

“Facebook is my life,”Unruh said.

And things are going greatwith the Harvey Co. OnlineAuction site. There are timespeople tell Kasper they werelooking for an item for yearsand found it on the site. Thatmakes her feel good.

“Very well,” Kasper said.“Everybody loves it. Gettingrid of stuff.”

Mama's Recipes, a popular con-cession truck that specializes inhomemade Mexican food. As thename implies, they use theirmother's recipes. It seems they al-ways had it in the back of theirminds they'd sell food someday.And customers no longer pretendto eat their food. They love it.

Their food will be up for pur-chase during this year's Taste ofNewton, held in downtown New-ton on Thursday, Oct. 8, from 6 to9 p.m.

Each sister has her own spe-cialty—Burch does the burritos,and pork chili specials, Belgardcreates flour tacos, and Snyder'sspeciality is the customers, takingorders and utilizing her friendlydisposition.

“She's like a bartender,” Bel-gard said of Snyder. “She learns alot.”

Even though they all have dayjobs, the sisters do this because oftheir passion.

“We love cooking, and we loveto provide our customers goodfood and to see them leave with asmile on their face,” Belgard saidabout why they run their licensedbusiness.

“Makes us feel good,” Burchadded. “People love our food.”

“Our positive feedback we get,”Snyder chimed in.

Belgard is a paraprofessional atChisholm Middle School whileBurch is self-employed, running aday care, and Snyder works atBack Alley Pizza and is caretakerfor their parents.

Most of their food preparationis made fresh on the spot.

“It's authentic, for sure, andpeople understand that,” Burchsaid. “They're very patient.”

When selling food, the sisterssaid they always have a line.They've sold food at Taste of New-ton for 21-plus years, Belgardsaid, and have been in businessfor at least 21 years.

“I think that's the amazingthing—people will stand in linefor our food,” Belgard said.

They sell a lot of food at Tasteof Newton.

“Each year, we just double fromthe previous year to try to fill theorders,” Snyder said. “It increasesas the clientele increases.”

Mi Mama's Recipes startedwith their mom, Amelia Arellano,who made food and took it to play-ers at the Mexican-AmericanMen's Fast-pitch Softball Tourna-ment when it was at Our Lady ofGuadalupe Catholic Church inNewton. The church had a ball di-amond there at one time. Arellanoenlisted her daughters' help forthat endeavor.

“The Arellano sisters with theorange truck,” as they're called,come from a long line of goodcooks. All of their grandmothersand great-grandmas were greatcooks, and they learned fromthem.

“Our mom learned, and welearned,” Belgard said, addingthey were taught to make suchgoodies as homemade tortillas

and beans.The sisters are three of seven

children born to Jesse and AmeliaArellano, who are almost 80 andreside in Newton. Their other sib-lings are brothers, she said,adding that's why they had tocook so much.

Burch and Snyder started MiMama's recipes, and when Snydermoved away, Belgard became abusiness partner. Now, Snydermoved back.

“And then we all got back to-gether,” Burch said.

The sisters said their familieshave been quite supportive, in-cluding their parents, children,brothers and spouses, as well asfriends.

“Our family, you know, is verysupportive,” Belgard said,whether that support is verbal orphysical.

“We don't have a crew,” Burchsaid. “We have to set up our-selves.”

Their spouses and children helpset up and tear down, and they'llneed that help on Oct. 8 for Tasteof Newton, an annual event in

downtown Newton where thou-sands of people stroll the road,searching for their favoritemunchies. Lots of food is sold inbooths lining Main Street, includ-ing corn on the cob, appledumplings, pie, barbecue, candiedpecans and verenike.

“It's a lot of work, but we enjoyit,” Burch said.

The sisters appreciate the com-munity.

“Community is very supportiveand seems like we add a newevent every year,” Snyder said.

On occasion, people ask them tosell food at their events, andsometimes it works out that theycan add the event to their itiner-ary. Others have inquired if theyhave a restaurant, which theydon't.

On Saturday morning, the sis-ters met at Norm's Coffee Bar todiscuss their plans for Taste ofNewton and the Kansas BarnSale. The barn sale, where 6,000to 7,000 are expected to attend, isSaturday, Oct. 3, in Hesston.

“We're going to need a vacationright after that,” Burch said.

64 years and haveresided in Newton formore than 50 of thoseyears.

Watts drives a whitevan that holds her wheel-chair, and she has to un-load from the passengerside. In other words, toget out, she drives herwheelchair from insidethe van onto a sidewalkor parking lot from thatside. She needs at leastone space to park her vanand another half or morespace on that side to un-load onto. Watts didn'twant to get a back-load-ing van because thatfrightened her.

“I've always felt likethey are dangerous,”Watts said.

On one particularshopping day, Wattsfound a handicappedparking space in front ofa downtown restaurant.Because a bicycle waschained to a tree thereand a moped parked be-side it, however, shecouldn't unload fromthere.

“So, of course, I could-n't use it,” Watts said.

Next, she thought she'dpark in the lot behindAnderson's, using thehandicapped stall on thesoutheast corner. Sheparked there but didn'twant to take her wheel-chair down the alley.

“That's really a busyalley,” Watts said.

Her next choice was toride her wheelchairthrough the parking lotfilled with pickups andsports utility vehicles

that sit high, which alsoscared her.

“If one of those hadstarted backing out and Icouldn't get out of theirway, they might not haveseen me,” Watts said.

She called David Ny-gaard, Newton city com-missioner, and told himabout her plight.

“She called me one dayand said she likes to shopdowntown,” Nygaardsaid. “She's almost beenhit a couple of times.”

Nygaard said he talkedRandy Jackson,street/sanitation superin-tendent, about putting avan-accessible spot inthat parking lot. At a re-cent Newton City Com-mission meeting,Nygaard thanked Jack-son and city engineer/di-rector of public worksSuzanne Loomis for

working on the project.“It was an easy fix, and

they did it” within 10days, Nygaard said.

Watts said Nygaardcalled her a couple ofweeks after they hadtalked and asked her ifshe'd been downtownlately. She said she had-n't.

“He said, 'Well, youhave a parking spot be-hind Anderson's,'” Wattssaid. “It's right there onthe corner.' […] He's beengreat. He understands.”

People who don't usesuch spaces don't alwaysthink about what'sneeded.

“If you've never been ina wheelchair, you're notgoing to think of this,and I completely under-stand,” Watts said. “I re-ally have to watch whereI park. I can't just use

any parking spot.”Watts is grateful for

the new spot, althoughshe said it's not her pri-vate stall.

“It makes it easier forme because there is onemore place I can find topark,” she said, addingevery time she goesthere, it's open.

“I really thank Mr. Ny-gaard for that,” Wattssaid about getting thenew parking space there.“I like to shop in Newtonif I can. It makes it diffi-cult sometimes.”

Bethel alumna named to presidential advisory council

A Bethel College gradu-ate is among the 18 indi-viduals whom PresidentBarack Obama appointedto the President’s 3rd Ad-visory Council on Faith-Based and NeighborhoodPartnerships.

Aziza Hasan, Los Ange-les, who grew up in Hal-stead, is the executivedirector of NewGround: AMuslim-Jewish Partner-ship for Change, an organ-ization she co-founded in2006.

From 2006-12, Hasanserved jointly as co-direc-tor of NewGround and asthe southern Californiaand government relationsdirector for the MuslimPublic Affairs Council(MPAC).

In that role, Hasanworked with elected andappointed government offi-cials and law enforcementagencies, often respondingto events of national signif-icance, such as the shoot-ings at Fort Hood near

Killeen, Texas, in Novem-ber 2009.

She co-authored the2009 paper “AbusingWomen, Abusing Islam:Re-Examining ShariaCourt Rulings in Contem-porary Times,” the find-ings of which she haspresented at the U.S. De-

partment of State and var-ious conferences, as well asto numerous elected offi-cials and nonprofit advo-cacy groups.

She has spoken to audi-ences across the countryon topics such as women’srights in Islam, forgive-ness and peace in Islamic

tradition and conflict reso-lution in Muslim commu-nities.

NewGround works to fa-cilitate conversations thatexplore issues at the per-sonal, local, national andglobal levels—among themidentity, gender, pluralismand Israel/Palestine—

based on the premise thathonest communicationforges meaningful relation-ships and a solid base fromwhich both Muslims andJews can build in the com-munities they share. New-Ground has been featuredon American PublicMedia’s “Speaking ofFaith” with Krista Tippett.

Following graduationfrom Bethel in 2003,Hasan spent two years asan AmeriCorps volunteerwith Interfaith Ministriesof Wichita.

During that time, sheauthored More Alike thanDifferent, a joint project ofWichita organizations suchas the local MPAC chap-ter, Interfaith Ministriesand the National Confer-ence for Community Jus-tice.

The project, which wasmade to be duplicated, isintended to educate thecommunity about the basictenets of Islam and dispelmisconceptions about thereligion.

Hasan graduated fromHalstead High School in

1999 and from Bethel Col-lege in 2003 with a degreein history and a certificatein conflict resolution.While at Bethel, she wasactive in student govern-ment, debate and forensics(for which she received aThresher Award as a sen-ior) and social justice or-ganizations.

Also while at Bethel,Hasan was the event andproject coordinator for theKansas Institute for Peaceand Conflict Resolution(KIPCOR), 2000-03. In ad-dition to her B.A. fromBethel, Hasan earned anM.A. from Wichita StateUniversity.

Nickel finishes second in national triathlon

OKLAHOMA CITY—Kevin Nickel of Newtonfinished in second placeoverall in the USAT LongCourse National Champi-onships, a triathlon raceheld at Lake Hefner inOklahoma City on Sept26.

“I train in Kansas, sothe gently rolling hills onthe bike part are what Iam used to,” Nickel said.“I was hoping for a topfive finish, so I ampleased with second placeoverall.”

The Long Coursetriathlon covers a distanceof 70.3 miles, and Nickelfinished in four hours, 15minutes, 42.80 seconds,and he was competingagainst 538 men in thisrace.

The race began with a1.2 mile swim, but differ-ent age groups startedthree minutes apart. Soeven though Nickel wasahead of the people start-ing at the same time, hewas also competingagainst people whostarted three, six and nineminutes later.

Each participant gets atiming device which startstiming when their race be-gins.

Nickel came out of thewater in 31 minutes and25 seconds. Getting out of

the wet suit, putting onhis bicycle helmet andcatching his breath in oneminute and one second, hemounted his bike for the56-mile race.

Averaging 24.4 milesper hour for 56 miles,Nickel returned to thetransition area, and aftergetting rid of his helmetand bike and slipping intorunning shoes in 49 sec-onds, he began the 13.1mile run.

Running two laps, thecompetitors can see eachother as they change di-rections and return to-ward the finish line.

“I could tell there was

one competitor keeping upwith me. Since he startedin a different wave, Iguessed he had a fastertime than I,” said Nickel.

A member of theKansas River ValleyTriathlon Club in Wichita,he has consistently beenthe leading triathletefrom Kansas all seasonlong.

The only competitor tofinish ahead of Nickel wasTom Woods of Lincoln,Neb. Nickel trailed him byone minute and 12 sec-onds and finished aheadof third place by two min-utes and seven seconds.

A week earlier he com-

peted in the ITU WorldTriathlon race in Chicago.In this international fieldNickel finished in 12thplace in his age group in afield of 197 competitors.

Nickel works as an ex-ercise specialist for Pinna-cle Rehabilitation andSports Performance atThe Summit in Hutchin-son and is sponsored thisyear by Pinnacle SportsMedicine and Or-thopaedics/TheSummit, Bicycle X-change, Eddie U Massage,and First Gear RunningCompany. He graduatedfrom Goessel High Schooland Tabor College.

Whistles and digsNewton volleyball wins home tournament

Toward the end ofNewton’s three-set winover McPherson, HeadCoach Jamie Dibbens re-alized she had her keysand whistle on a lanyardaround her neck.

“I looked at my girlsand said, ‘Why am Iwearing these?’” she said.

It was a fair question.The Railers were in themiddle of a fight for theirtournament lives, want-ing to get to the champi-onship match and meetundefeated Hays.

“They looked at me andsaid, ‘I don’t know, butdon’t you dare take themoff now!’” Dibbens said.

She didn’t, and Newtonwent on to highly emo-tional wins over McPher-son, then Hays to wintheir home tournament.It was Hays’ first loss ofthe year.

The Newton tourna-ment hosted five teamsranked in the top 10 intheir respective classes,more than half the fieldof nine. Newton (5A No.8), Goddard Eisenhower(5A No. 6), McPherson(4A-I No. 2), Andale (4A-INo. 8), and Hays (4A-INo. 5) were all ranked.

And Newton beat themall.

Dibbens and her Rail-ers pride themselves onoutlasting opponents,which has been a themefor them so far.

“I don’t know thatwe’re in better shape,”Dibbens said. “I knowthat we play together asa team really well and wetrust each other verywell. A lot of times inthose longer rallies, andwe’re winning them, itdoes hurt the otherteam.”

Newton tries to getteams out of their comfortzones so they have toscramble and figurethings out on the fly. Allthe while, the Railers areon the other side of thenet doing their thing ofgreat passes and big hits.

“Our coach always tellsus to get them out of sys-tem,” Taylor Antonowichsaid. “And when they’reout of system, they’rehaving to scramble anduse a ton of energy just toget the ball back over thenet, and we’re able to justshove it down theirthroats.”

Antonowich, a sopho-more, played tremendousvolleyball over the courseof the six wins. She putdown blocks and kills,and even had a few digs.

When the team toutedits depth at the beginningof the year, it wasn’t jok-ing.

Fellow sophomore Kyn-dal Bacon came on andplayed well at setter togive Jana Boston a break.Hailey Valdez, a seniorwho’s seen limited timethis year, came up with acouple big points lateagainst Hays.

“I think it was justkind of a team effort,”Dibbens said. “On anygiven match, people werestepping up.”

The Railers currentlystand at 21-3 on seasonafter six wins on Satur-day. Newton hostedDerby and Hutchinson onTuesday night, but scoreswere not available atpress time.



Weather delay nomatch for Railers

If lightning couldn’t derail Newton, neither couldthe Bulldogs.

With 4:12 left in the first quarter, the Railers puttogether a nice drive that placed them at Ark City’s29 yard line. Everything was going right for New-ton, which made what Athletic Director BrianBecker had to do all the more disappointing. He hadto postpone the game, on homecoming, with Newtonabout to score and down 7-0.

He jokingly admitted on the sideline he didn’twant to do it because the Newton offense looked sogood.

The Ark City staff wanted to play the game thatnight, and understandably so. It’s an hour and onehalf drive from Ark City, and they didn’t want to doit twice.

“There was talk about waiting until midnight andtrying to restart the game,” Head Coach Nate Wol-lenberg said.

As it looked like the storm was going to pass, itstopped right above Newton and didn’t budge. Thenthe game was officially postponed.

Some Newton players had to miss the makeup be-cause of family events, but most of the team tookthe field.

“I heard one guy in the locker room say he feltlike he was playing college,” Wollenberg said. “Notme—it felt like a Friday night.”

The Railers used a more balanced offensive ap-proach than what they used through the first threegames this season. Instead of running it up the mid-dle and trying to break free, they opened up theplaybook a little.

“It was good to see us pass more instead of run-ning it up the middle,” running back Kade Rems-berg said.

Remsberg did admit he didn’t care how it hap-pened, as long as Newton got the win.

“We got the ‘W,’” he said. “That’s all that mat-ters.”

Friday night’s delay lasted more than two hours,and it actually fit perfectly with the focus of theweek in practice for Newton.

“They did a great job of being focused,” Wollen-berg said. “I have to give credit to some of our lead-ers—Luke Porter, Josh Fulmer, Cole Koerner—fortalking this week about staying focused and not al-lowing us to beat us.”

Wollenberg didn’t know how their team would re-spond to what was essentially a 24-hour delay butwas more than happy with the outcome.

“It feels,” he said with a pause, “awesome. Home-coming, the delay last night, and then to come andfinish it up today is great for our players andcoaches. It’s great for Newton, NHS.”

Remsberg’s visits keep him busy

Through four weeks,Kade Remsberg’s footballseason has been a busyone.

Before the season evenbegan, he received a schol-arship offer to play foot-ball for the University ofKansas. A few weekslater, he visited KansasState, then went back toKansas, then took a tripup to Iowa City, Iowa, tosee what the Hawkeyeswere up to.

The plan now is to be inSouth Bend, Ind., to watchthe Notre Dame FightingIrish take on Navy.

“[Visits] have beengoing well,” Remsbergsaid. “I’ve enjoyed theplaces I’ve been. I’ve gotNotre Dame coming up, sothat’s going to be reallyexciting. I’m excited forthat. It’s been going reallygood.”

For his father andcoach, Tad, the highlightwas when Kade receivedthe scholarship offer fromKansas head coach DavidBeaty.

Not only because it wasKade’s first offer, but be-cause three generationswere present.

“My dad is a KU alum,”Tad said. “My dad played

in the late '50s, and hewas with us on the trip.Coach Beaty had my dadaddress the team beforethe scrimmage, and rightafter he talked to them,Beaty came right over andoffered Kade a scholar-ship.”

Tad said the moment

sent chills down his spinetalking about it. Thegroup then drove aroundcampus and saw theplaces Kade’s grandfa-ther, Dale, used to fre-quent when he was inschool.

“It was a really specialday,” Tad said. “It was a

fun day.”Tad played football at

Emporia State, andKade’s uncle, Rick, playedat Wichita State.

Kade is a state cham-pion sprinter, but his pas-sion is football and plansto stick with that exclu-sively in college.

Conference home totremendous nicknamesI’m new to the

Kansas CollegiateAthletic Conference.

In fact, of all the news-papers, television, andradio stations that coverthe KCAC, I may be themost green.

There’s quite a bit tolearn about this confer-ence, but one thing Ilearned almost immedi-ately was the immenseamount of pride memberschools take in their con-ference. There’s a ton oftradition at each school,and I’m catching onslowly to some of thosetraditions.

But what I’ve enjoyedmost so far are the bor-derline-unbelievablenicknames at mostschools. I may be invit-ing an education withthis, but the only nick-names I have a generalidea of where they camefrom are the Swedes andThreshers.

I’m sure both of thosehave elaborate storiesbehind them, but I justdon’t know the full sto-ries. I could tell you thefull story of how WichitaState became the Shock-ers, however, or, moreformally, the Wheat-shockers. But that’s notreally too impressive of askill. If you remembermy column from a fewweeks ago, I can namenearly every high schoolmascot in the State of

Kansas. That is an im-pressive skill and some-thing I take pride in. Ihave yet to be quizzed byanyone in town.

Long story short, theKCAC’s nicknames aregreat.

During the month ofOctober, the Threshersfootball team will facethe Braves, Spires, War-riors, Moundbuilders,and Coyotes. On anygiven Saturday, youcould see a team withone of the nation’s mostunique nicknames.

I come from a family ofMoundbuilders, as bothof my parents went toSouthwestern. We re-ceived monthly bulletinsfrom Winfield, and Icould never get astraight answer on whata Moundbuilder was. I’vegone through my shareof Southwestern year-books, too.

So I know what myparents looked like incollege, and I assure you,I was way cooler in col-

lege.No wonder there’s a

ton of pride in the con-ference. I wrote a storyabout freshmen volley-ball players Anna Stuckyand Taylor Buessing,and they already tookpride in the fact theywere Threshers. Maybeit has to do with the inti-mate setting of a smallschool, or having teach-ers who care about you.But for me, it took asolid year or two to gainthat pride of being aWheatshocker. It actu-ally came when I startedtaking my communica-tions classes, because Ihad those teachers whocared. So I’m fairly jeal-ous freshmen at Bethelhave found that pride sosoon but also very happyfor them, because there’sno fun in going to aschool you’re not proudof. Ask me now, though,and you’ll find I’m aproud Shocker.

The Missouri ValleyConference has its fairshare of cool nicknamesas well, but we’re nottalking about that. We’retalking about the KCAC,quite possibly the mostunique collection of nick-names in the nation.

HARD COUNT

CLINT HARDEN

CLINT HARDEN/NEWTON NOWNewton’s Josh Fulmer carries the ball Friday against Ark City. The Railers beat the Bulldogs 28-20 after a light-ning delay.

Derby looks to be a toughout for Railers on Friday

Changes Newton madeto its game plan Fridayand Saturday night haveopened some options upfor the Railers.

Head Coach Nate Wol-lenberg and his staff in-corporated more passinginto the first win of theseason, which helped sus-tain drives. Newton beatArk City 28-20 on Satur-day night after a lightningdelay the night before.

But now it’s on toDerby. The Panthers areone of the top teams in thestate and showed why onFriday when all eyeswatched Hutchinson atDerby.

The Panthers showedup big time with a 49-14win and scored 35 unan-swered points in the rout.It was supposed to be thegame of the week.

Derby may not lose an-other game the rest of the

season. Sure, it has sometests, but if it plays like itdid against Hutch, thePanthers could very wellwin it all.

To me, this contest is apretty straightforwardone. The Panthers’ onlyloss came on the road toMill Valley, a team thatmany have picked as thetop team in 5A, and it stilltook a late-game touch-down to get it done.

Newton simply doesn’thave the fire power Derbyhas. It’s tough to navigatea Derby sideline becauseso many players are there.It’s almost unreal howmany guys Derby HeadCoach Brandon Clark has,and he can roll almost anyone of them out there andtrust the job will get done.

The Panthers are ex-tremely deep, so they willhave fresh legs for themajority of the game,whereas the Railers don’t.They have their nine-or-so core guys they use al-most every play, butoutside of that, there isn’t

much breathing room.Newton is coming off a

win, so that will help inthis team’s development.It is always easier tobuild off a win ratherthan a loss.

It’s so tough to pickagainst Derby. The Pan-thers could be going upagainst anyone Fridayand I might pick them.Honestly, they’re proba-bly my favorite to win the6A title this season.

Because Newton is stillexploring what works andwhat doesn’t, the game isat Derby, and Newton hasdepth issues, I thinkDerby wins 45-7.

Other than the reasonslisted, what makes mesay that is Derby’strouncing of Hutch. TheSalthawks absolutely dis-mantled Newton. I knowit’s not fair to comparecommon opponents, butboth programs are out-standing and similar inmany ways.

The Railers could be infor a long night Friday.


It might be too late tobuy low on Bethel, butit’s still too early to

sell high.The Threshers used a

big 14-point second quar-ter Saturday againstMcPherson to cruise to a28-14 win over the hap-less Bulldogs. Bethel isnow 2-0 in the conferencefor the first time since2008, also its last winstreak.

But now, the Threshershave perennial power Ot-tawa next on the sched-ule.

The Braves are off to aslow start with a 1-2 over-all record, but both lossesare to NAIA No. 24 Taborand now-No. 17 DakotaWesleyan, so there’s notmuch to hold against Ot-tawa in those two losses.The Braves lost by onepoint to Dakota Wes-leyan.

The breakdownAt this point, Bethel

running back PrestonOliver is no longer a keptsecret. Through threegames, Oliver’s seventouchdowns and 468 rush-ing yards leads the teamby nearly 300 yards.

When dual-threat quar-terback Brandon Steed ison the field, he has theability to be the most elu-sive player out there. He’sracked up a total of 407

passing yards and 180rushing yards. If Ottawaknows what’s best, it willfocus most of its energyon figuring out how toshut down those twoguys, because nobody elsehas been able to do it.

It’s rather unfair tocompare stats with thesetwo teams, because it’sobvious which has playedthe tougher schedule.

Last week at Bethany,Ottawa used two quarter-backs in Dayton Walterand Tim Morovick. Don’tbe surprised if Bethel en-counters that Saturday inan effort to throw off thedefense. The Bethel three-headed monster of LoganMatthewson, RobertPurvin, and Delvert“Milkman” Emerencianowill need to stay on theirtoes for any possibility inthe Ottawa backfield.

What to expectOttawa scored on its

first play from scrimmageSaturday at Bethany on a75-yard run. So far thisseason, Bethel has strug-gled to get going early.Specifically againstBethany, the Swedes hadvirtually no issues inopening the game with atouchdown drive.

Then, against fresh-men-laden McPherson,the Threshers held butweren’t able to find theend zone early.

Bethel will need to grabthis game by the hornsright from the kick to bein it. The game will be far

from over if Ottawa opensthe game with a touch-down, because Bethel’sdefense knows how topick itself up. But it needsto get a stop to open thegame at the very least.That would be a big win ifthe Threshers can do thatSaturday.

Clint’s CallSo who’s it going to be:

the upstart surprisethat’s learning on the fly?Or the team that hasn’tplayed the best but ismore tested? I guessthat’s the question I’msupposed to answer. Idon’t know if I’m ready.Who gave me this job,anyway?

I think Ottawa wins 35-28. It is so tough to winon the road, especiallyagainst a team as well-coached as Ottawa.Bethel was supposed towin big last Saturday atMcPherson and still thatone was tied after thefirst quarter. Teams playbetter on their home turf.

But Bethel has nothingto lose in this game. Thepressure is on Ottawa.The Braves are expectedto contend for the KCACtitle, and if they don’t winthis game, they’ll havesome serious work cutout.

If Bethel wins this, itinserts itself into the con-versation of being a realthreat in the conference.Steed’s goal is to win theKCAC, and that road stillgoes through Ottawa.

Annual Chili Cook-Off raises more than $10,000 for local United Way

It's not certain whichdrew more people onSaturday in downtown

Newton—the Ninth-An-nual Chili Cook-Off or alabradoodle named Mister.One might even say he’s a“chili dog.”

Mister belongs to ClintCornejo, who was dishingout chili during the eventto anyone in line at theALLMETAL Recyclingbooth. Cornejo is opera-tions manager for the com-pany, which opened aNewton office on Jan. 1.

People of all ages andsizes went up to the laid-back dog on Saturday, pet-ting his soft, brownish fur.

When asked if he likedMister and why, TobyWilcox, 3, of Concordia,said, “Yeah, I do. He's gotteeth.”

Cornejo thinks Misterhas eaten chili before.

“I'm sure he has, but it's

not like I put it in a bowlfor him,” Cornejo said,adding wherever they go,people have to touch hisdog.

The ALLMETAL Recy-cling booth used officemanager Liz Elliott'srecipe, which isn't toospicy. She described it as“good, homemade chili.”They were hoping to get afirst-place award, whichthey did.

“Our tip jar's gettingfull, so that helps, too,” El-liott said.

A variety of businessesand organizations createdtheir own chili for thecook-off, and the publicpaid $6 per person at thegate for tasting kits. Theythen were able to sampleas much of the chili asthey wished.

The Harvey County In-fant Toddler Programsported a white chili, withchicken, winner of an officechili contest.

Sweat Like a Pig usedpulled pork in their chili,one of the spicier at the

cook off. Still others like Meals on

Wheels looked to add flairto their display by decora-tion. Their booth featureda skeleton dressed up as amad scientist. They won acertificate for being themost creative.

The event raised morethan $10,000 for HarveyCounty United Way.

Central Kansas Commu-nity Foundation sponsoredthe prizes for the top threewinners in both the UnitedWay Partner Organizationand Open Class divisions,according to a news re-lease. In each division,first place received $300,second place $200 andthird place $100.

The People’s ChoiceAward was determined byjar vote donations from thecrowd based on which chilithey thought tasted thebest. Harvey County Do-mestic Violence/Sexual As-sault Task Force/SafeHouse took home the peo-ple's choice award with along standing chili recipe.

The group repeatedly winscategories at the cook off.

Jan Jones, of the organi-zation, said the secret be-sides a good recipe is thecondiment and topping barit always offers with thechili it makes.
