Question opens floodgates on city’s oft-soggy history QUESTION: I’m fairly new to Ottawa and have noticed the flood gates by the Main Street bridge over the Marais des Cygnes River. Have those gates ever been closed?

ANSWER: When river levels are low, it’s difficult to imagine needing to close those gates, but trust me, the river has been higher. A lot higher. As in, water-rushing-over-the-bridge higher.

The folks at the Ottawa Public Works Department told me the gates have been closed in 1997, 1998, 2003 and twice in 2007, as well as several other times throughout the years for maintenance.

The mechanics of closing the gates, as described in a 2011 Herald story, are as follows: Chains are used to roll the 72-feet long steel flood gates across Main Street at the Main Street bridge. The steel gates are locked down to the road with cables when closed and tied to a large hook in the pavement. Rubber seals hold the gates against concrete walls using hydraulic pressure.

The gates were closed in May 2007 when the Marais des Cygnes reached nearly 37 feet in Ottawa.

As someone who was around at that time, I can tell you the flood was quite an event.

“Cameras and cell phones flashed late Monday evening as people lined both sides of Main Street to capture mementos of being there when the flood gates closed in 2007,” the Herald reported in its May 8, 2007, edition.

Check out Page 9 for a photo from the May 2007 flood.

And in July 2007, it happened again. That time, levels reached 41 feet, the third-highest crest on record for Ottawa.

The flood gates are part of an extensive flood control system that was completed in November 1962. The impetus for the system was the 1951 flood that devastated the city.

How much is ‘suitable’ for students?

By DYLAN LYSEN Herald Staff Writer

Now that the Shawnee District Court has ruled education funding to be inadequate, the next steps will most likely be an appeal from the state to the Kansas Supreme Court, state Rep. Blaine Finch, R-Ottawa, said Tuesday. If the Supreme Court agrees, the next question will be what is “suitable” education funding, he said.

“The state is required under the Kansas Constitution to make ‘suitable provision for the finance of the educational interests of the state,’” Finch said. “So, the ongoing question is how much is ‘suitable?’”

The Shawnee District Court found last week — in what is known as the Gannon v. the State of Kansas case — that the state’s school finance formula, base state aid per pupil (BSAPP), is constitutional but that it was unconstitutionally underfunded by the Legislature on the issue of adequacy. Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said his office was exploring all options to address the ruling, according to a news release, which led many — including Finch — to believe the state will appeal the ruling to the Kansas Supreme Court.

If the state does appeal the ruling, Finch said, the Legislature may not address the issue through legislation until the Kansas Supreme Court makes a decision.

“The Supreme Court may agree with the lower court or they may reach a completely different decision, so the Legislature will not take action on this specific issue until a

WHAT WE KNOW

WHAT WE DON’T KNOW

■ The Shawnee County District Court ruled Kansas education funding is “inadequate” under the law of the Kansas Constitution.

■ How or when the Kansas Legislature will respond to the Shawnee District Court ruling because of the possible appeal to the Kansas Supreme Court.

■ State budget shortfalls have caused the Legislature to plan to cut about $280 million from the 2015 fiscal year budget in the upcoming legislative session.

■ Ottawa school district could use more funding to increase teacher salaries, hire more staff, and purchase resources for students and staff.

final decision is rendered.

But, that does not mean there won’t be action on education funding,” Finch said. “The governor has already indicated a desire to change the school funding formula and he may outline his proposal [6:30 p.m. Jan. 15] at the State of the State address.”

Gov. Sam Brownback said he was still “digesting” the ruling last week, but said restructuring the funding formula could allow for more money to end up in classrooms, according to a news release.

“I continue to believe that restructuring the school funding formula and implementing education policy reforms is critical not only to getting more money into our classrooms but also

■ The amount of money the state must increase to find the “suitable” amount of education funding under the Kansas Constitution.

■ How the state could make funds available for a possible increase in education funding while the state is running at a budget deficit that will increase from $280 million in 2015 to $648 million in 2016, according to some projections. improving student achievement,” Brownback said. “I will be working with legislative leadership to address the best path forward.”

But the more important issue at hand is the state’s financial crisis, Finch said. Increasing education funding would be a heavy burden for the state that already is reeling from tax revenue shortfalls that caused Brownback to propose a $280 million cut from the state’s 2015 budget, but may have increased the shortfalls to $648 million for the 2016 budget, according to media reports.

While state lawmakers

look for solutions, raising taxes repeatedly comes up during discussion — including the 2014 Legislative Dinner in Ottawa where city and county officials asked if taxes could be raised to address the issue — lawmakers don’t seem to want to commit to the idea, but have said all solutions have to be considered.

But raising taxes this upcoming legislative session, which begins Monday, won’t be able to address the finance issues for 2015, Finch said.

“The governor’s proposed cuts will buy the state a few months, but more significant cuts will be required in the next fiscal year,” Finch said. “If the governor and the Legislature do consider taxes as an option, any changes would not take effect in time for the next fiscal year so it is likely we’ll see significant cuts to public services to cover the budget shortfall.”

The education funding portion of the state’s $6 billion budget takes up more than half, State Sen. Caryn Tyson, R-Parker, said. She said that $3 billion needs to be used wisely and sent to the classrooms.

“The debate is going to be long,” Tyson said. “We need to take a close look at how we are funding our schools and make sure money is getting to the classrooms and to the teachers.”

State Rep. Kevin Jones, R-Wellsville, who also serves as a school board member for Wellsville school district, was unavailable for comment Wednesday.

Daily Report

FUNDING: Schools (Continued from Page 1)

EDUCATORS The Shawnee District Court’s ruling on the state’s education funding was no surprise to Jeanne Stroh, Ottawa school district’s superintendent, she said Wednesday.

“I was part of this case while in Hutchinson,” Stroh said.

She served as the assistant superintendent in Hutchinson before she was hired as the superintendent in Ottawa.

“In fact, I testified in the summer of 2012 so I’m not surprised by the ruling,” Stroh said.

Stroh expects the ruling to be appealed to the Kansas Supreme Court, she said, but she agrees funding is not adequate.

“This ruling affirms the need and expectation that we are constitutionally bound to prepare all students in the state of Kansas to be college and career ready,” Stroh said. “I am happy with the decision but I fully expect it will be appealed to the Supreme Court.”

The court offered two possible solutions, Stroh said: the Legislature could raise base state aid per pupil, currently set at $3,838, to $4,654 and increase the weighting system, or it could keep the weighting system the same and increase base state aid to $4,980 per pupil.

An increase in education funding could help the Ottawa school district in several areas of need, Stroh said, including resources for students and staff.

“In [Ottawa] USD 290 increased funding would make a big difference,” Stroh said.

“Our staff has not had good salary increases for many years, we have delayed professional development, we have hired fewer staff, and not purchased resources our students and staff need. Additional funding would allow us to do these things.”

For West Franklin, more funding could help state teachers access resources students and staff need, not just want, said Darrell McCune, who is a music teacher at Appanoose Elementary School and also protested in Topeka with Kansas National Education Association in 2014 when the Legislature addressed the equity portion of the Gannon decision while also removing teachers’ due process rights.

“It’s not like you have this wonderful wish list you could have that would be luxuries.

We’re talking basic necessities,” McCune said.

“People don’t seem to understand that.”

Those resources that schools can’t afford, but teachers need to use to help teach, are being purchased out of the teachers’ own wallets, McCune said.

“The schools are really hurting for money right now,” McCune said. “There’s all kinds of things, not only facilities, but in terms of having money for classroom budgets. We really have no classroom budgets to speak of ... unless you buy things out of your own pocket, which is ridiculous.”

Last year when the Legislature addressed the first half of the Gannon decision by increasing education funding by $129 million, it also removed teachers’ due process rights. McCune said he’s sure the Legislature will try to remove teachers’ bargaining rights as retribution for campaigning for former Kansas House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, in the gubernatorial race against Brownback.

“I would suspect that all kinds of things could be on the table,” McCune said. “They’ll probably come back with a vengeance after we worked really hard trying to lobby against bringing the governor back.”

Guest Editorial

Now what?

Congress convenes with predictable GOP looming The 114th U.S. Congress was gavelled into session Tuesday, marking the first time Republicans have control of both houses in eight years. The party’s stated goal is to prove to America it can govern effectively, and will do so in a way that makes “the people’s priorities ... our priorities,” according to House Speaker John Boehner.

What remains to be seen is whether the GOP can control its own members as it pursues its goal. The conservative faction of the House Republican caucus gave early indication it will not follow leadership meekly.

No fewer than 24 Republicans voted against Boehner retaining his post while another voted “present.” A Tribune News Service story reported that opposition made Boehner “the most-challenged speaker candidate by his own party in modern House history and setting the new GOP-controlled Congress off to a rocky start.”

“America deserves better,” said Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who also offered a vote for the Ohio Republican is the same as a vote for President Obama.

We would hope the rank and file utilized Tuesday’s ceremonial start for their theatrics, and will move forward more seriously.

Ultra-conservatives might be able to dupe voters in states such as Kansas and gain control, but they will not be able to dismantle the national Republican party — let alone the nation — with ideologies formulated for white, Christian, male, heterosexual businessmen who clamor for smaller and less intrusive government except when it fits their narrow definition of what’s morally correct. Or at least we hope not.

But we are not sure what to expect. We would anticipate multiple more attempts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, simply because it’s known as Obamacare. No attention will be paid to the fact it is working, if one looks at the millions of Americans who have health insurance for the first time or that health-care costs are being curbed as signs of success. Nor will there be any better alternative offered. We would expect a prompt veto from the president, something which he has only done twice in his first six years of office.

We would anticipate quick passage of the Keystone XL Pipeline project, even though it requires presidential approval to cross from Canada into the United States, remains tied up in a Nebraska state court, and that Obama has promised a veto. We actually hope the project gets approved if only to show how little economic effect it will have on this country. The environmental damage will occur regardless, as Koch Industries will extract the oil from the tar sands and send it somewhere.

It would simply be more convenient for them to have it terminate in Texas.

Immigration reform? Highly unlikely.

There will be attempts to dismantle the president’s executive order to give temporary reprieve to some 4 million undocumented workers, but the real focus will be on building a bigger, stronger, taller fence at the Mexican border. So much for a smaller government.

We would imagine consensus will be found for making a number of temporary tax breaks that have existed for decades to become permanent, but do not believe many new tax cuts are in the offing. Pushes will be made, of course, but when no one seriously wants to downsize the military and our ability to wage wars, nor take anything away from Social Security or Medicaid or Medicare because that is when constituents will make their voices heard, and since we can’t do much about debt service during low-interest times such as these, the bulk of federal spending is spoken for.

At most times in this nation’s history, one party taking complete control of Congress signalled the beginning of serious reforms.

We don’t see that happening in the 114th Congress. The need for compromise has not disappeared even though Democrats could caucus in a phone booth (if such things still existed).

The compromise needed to settle issues within the Republican Party will not take place.

Why would it? The tea party faction elects its representatives by virtue of their unwillingness to compromise on anything. And the so-called establishment wing still constitutes the majority, and we don’t see them willing to let an extreme minority dictate terms for the country.

The last Congress set records both for futility and popularity. Look for both marks to be obliterated by this new body.

Cartoons amid humorless terror I woke up Wednesday morning to the news of the terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo Magazine office in Paris. Twelve people were killed and 11 wounded, including two of my French cartoonist friends, Tignous and Wolinski. Cartoonists around the world are grieving.

Americans treat editorial cartoons as a trivial daily joke in the newspaper — but in France, editorial cartoons are loved and respected. The Louvre has a branch museum devoted to cartoons; imagine if the Smithsonian had a cartoon museum, that’s the way cartoons are revered in France.

“Charlie Hebdo” is a silly name; it is a weekly magazine filled with editorial cartoons, easily found on news stands everywhere in France. “Hebdo” means “weekly” in French, and “Charlie” comes from France’s love for the comic strip “Peanuts” and Charlie Brown — therefore “Charlie Hebdo.” The top cartoonists in France vie to be on the pages of Charlie Hebdo.

There are cartoon festivals all over France — the best one for political cartoonists is in the small town of St Just le Martel; I’ve been attending for years, along with other cartoonists I syndicate. The townspeople pitch in to throw a festival for the editorial cartoonists every year; villagers put cartoonists up in their homes, and they award a live cow to the “Humor Vache” cartoonist of the year. One greatly respected winner of the cow was Georges Wolinski, a brilliant cartoonist with a masterful loose, swishy, wordy style, highly respected by the French. We were fellow cow winners, having a beer together last October; it is difficult to imagine that he is gone.

The Charlie Hebdo cartoonists are a diverse group of charming characters; they are the heart of the French cartooning community. There are not a lot of editorial cartoonists. We get to know each other; the murders are a blow that strikes close to all of us.

The Charlie Hebdo artists were energized and incensed by the

Danish Muhammad cartoon fracas a few years ago. French cartoonists have a macho attitude, seeing themselves on the front lines of a free speech debate. One Charlie Hebdo issue, touted as “edited by the Profit Muhammad” had all blank pages. One Charlie Hebdo cover featured a drawing,

by French cartoonist “Luz” of the magazine’s publisher/cartoonist “Charb” having a sloppy kiss with a Muslim Man, under the headline “L’Amour plus for que la haine” or “love is stronger than hate.” Charb was among those killed in the terror attack.

Terrorists have no sense of humor. Cartoons loom large in the Arab world, typically on the front pages of Arab language newspapers. It is no wonder that our cartoons seem to bother the terrorists more than our words.

Sitting behind a beer with Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, the talk often turns to Islamic extremists and their assaults on press freedoms. No one can doubt that editorial cartoonists are leading the fight for press freedoms now.

Today we are grieving, but as we move forward, I hope that our cartoons won’t be chilled by these murders and that the cartooning community will step up to this challenge with even more brilliant and insightful work — I’m sure the French cartoonists will do that; they are my heroes.

Corporate coup in college football Growing up in Texas, I learned that God and guns were important, but football — well, football was the real religion.

So I can understand the hyperbolic exuberance of a radio hypester in Montgomery, Alabama, who declared that the Dec. 20 Camellia Bowl was “going to be the biggest event Montgomery has ever had.”

Really — bigger even than Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on one of the city’s buses in 1955, igniting America’s historic civil rights movement?

Well, maybe not that big. But still, this game must be a rich part of Montgomery’s history, right?

Not exactly.

It’s actually a TV production created and owned by ESPN, the all-sports channel based in Connecticut. The bowl’s less-thanhistoric 2014 debut drew two low-

tier teams, one with a mediocre 7-6 season record, and the other with a more mediocre 6-6 record.

Even Montgomery’s mayor admitted that the town was hardly awash in excitement about the Camellia Bowl. But the game had a corporate sponsor and could count on bulk purchases of tickets by other corporations.

Who needs fans when the real play is about programming for ESPN, TV exposure for the cor-

porate sponsor, and tax-deductible entertainment for corporate ticket buyers?

The Camellia fabrication is hardly unusual in today’s galaxy of corporate bowl games. Of this season’s 39 holiday match-ups, 11 are owned by ESPN. And forget tradition — corporate sponsors are in it for themselves, promiscuously hopping from one bowl to another. In the current go-round, 12 bowl games find themselves in the arms of different corporate partners than a year ago.

Instead of sponsors simply bringing the games to us, the games now bring us to the sponsors, supplanting the vitality of college sportsmanship with crass corporate salesmanship.

Mom worries that ex-con brought a weapon home

Taste of coming home

DEAR AMY: My mother-in-law, who lives with my husband and me and our 18-month-old daughter, has reconnected to an ex-boyfriend from more than 30 years ago. Initially, she kept the relationship a secret.

Her boyfriend is an ex-con who was in prison for more than 25 years. He was released and is now working full time and spending time with my mother-in-law and occasionally coming over to our apartment to see her.

We were happy for her and encouraged the relationship because he seemed like a nice guy.

Today, though, after he had spent some time here yesterday, my husband found a pocketknife that had fallen in between our couch cushions.

We asked and found out that it was in fact his knife.

I am upset that he felt the need to bring a weapon into our home when we have a young child. Amy, I am not judging him — I am simply making a statement about the safety of our child and how I’m not comfortable with this. I refuse to compromise when it comes to our daughter’s safety and my husband is treating it as if nothing is wrong. I am extremely uncomfortable talking about this with my mother-inlaw because I know that she will see this as me attacking her man. What should I do? — Safety First Mom

DEAR HELOISE: It happens every time we return from a long trip, coming home to find a cold house and an empty refrigerator. We’re hungry and seeking homemade comfort food as we recover from lack of sleep and the fatigue of travel. Of course, we’re not at all up to a market run. But this time, I thought ahead.

Before leaving on our European vacation, I made a big pot of our favorite homemade soup and froze it. I also froze some of my special homemade bread. When we came in from the airport after being away for a month, I nuked the soup just enough to thaw it, then dumped it right into the slow cooker and turned it on. I set the bread out to thaw and warm. In no time, our house smelled like home, and we had steaming-hot comfort food to welcome us back without having to make a trip to the market.

— Nancy S. in California

ASK AMY

Advice for the Real World

DEAR MOM: I don’t consider a pocket knife a “weapon,” but I do consider an ex-con with a 25-year sentence a definite risk to your household. When it comes to baby-proofing your house, I would put access to ex-cons at the top of the list.

You and your husband have every right — and the duty as parents — to choose who will come into your home. If your mother-in-law wants to maintain this relationship, it is her business, but you should be extra-vigilant about who spends time in your household, and that includes relatives, neighbors and any men she chooses to associate with.

You should make this abundantly clear, without worrying too much about her reaction. With her as a part of your household, her choices have consequences for all of you.

DEAR AMY: My husband and I have the newspaper delivered to our condo building each day, but we have noticed that if we don’t retrieve it from the lobby by about 8:30 a.m., it’s already gone.

We think that other condo owners take our paper. It would be annoying under any

circumstance, but in this high-end building, all the unit owners are well heeled and can easily afford their own subscription.

It seems the height of pettiness to pinch someone else’s paper, and I would like to bring it up at a board meeting in a respectful way (just stating that we notice our paper is gone before we get to it, does anyone know why, does anyone else have the problem, and so on) but my husband says doing so won’t change anyone’s behavior; they will do what they will do.

I say that it’s a copout not to call this to the attention of the condo owners in the hope that the possible culprit/culprits may feel at least a little ashamed, whether they stop doing it or not. What is your take on this? — Miffed DEAR MIFFED: I’m firmly with you on this. You have paid for something, it is being delivered to a secure location, and it is being stolen.

One solution would be for the door staff at your building to have a list of newspaper subscribers and write the name on the top of each newspaper when it is delivered in the wee hours.

You should definitely bring this up at a board meeting. It might be happening to other subscribers, too.

DEAR AMY: I have a solution to “Disappointed Bride,” who had family members skip her wedding to attend their son’s

baseball tournament.

I participated in many youth sports travel teams. My parents dealt with this by trading off with other parents to handle the travel, etc., when they had important conflicts. Kids are used to this and it works out for everyone. — Clara DEAR CLARA: Home run solution.

Thank you!

DEAR AMY: I am a 56-year-old woman. For most of my life I have been a liar. I’ve told small lies and really big ones — all mostly for the purpose of not wanting to hurt someone else’s feelings.

I have told a few lies I wish I had never told, and I realize I can only blame myself. Amazingly, no one has ever called me on any of my lies.

I’m now at an age where I’m having a hard time keeping my “stories” straight.

Also, I feel like I don’t really care anymore about other people’s feelings, and that I just want to be able to do what I want without having to lie. I want to look at myself in the mirror without seeing a liar staring back at me.

What should I do? — Pants on Fire DEAR FIRE: If you truly don’t care about other people’s feelings or their estimation of you, then you might as well come clean. When you do, accompany the truth with a sincere apology — because the many people you have lied to deserve at least that much.

DEAR HELOISE: I chopped some onions and wanted to rinse them but thought, “Why use that big colander and have those small chunks get lost or stuck?” Lo and behold, right on the kitchen counter was my coffee maker with a strainer basket. I dumped the chopped onions into the basket and rinsed. Nobody complained about onion-flavored coffee the next morning, either!

— John B., via email DEAR READERS: Have you noticed on cooking shows that when a chef adds a “pinch” of salt to a recipe, it’s not in a shaker?

Historically, a saltcellar (a metal or glass container with a small spoon) was used for holding salt.

Salt was a commodity and a luxury in the 15th and 16th centuries, so it was treated as such. Usually a large or exceptionally beautiful saltcellar was used as a table decoration. To be seated “below” the saltcellar was a sign of lower status.

Oversalting a dish can happen without thinking.

If salt is added to hot or cooking foods, the dish does not taste as salty as it really is. Hold off on adding more. It’s better to undersalt the dish and let individuals add salt if they want. — Heloise DEAR HELOISE: I often use a timer on my slow cooker. It ensures that the slow cooker gets turned off if I’m delayed. If I don’t want it to cook the entire time I’m away, it can be started an hour or so after I leave. — Sandra P., via email

YOUR NEWS. YOUR WAY.

Remember, there is a two-hour “window” for food-safety concerns.

You could delay by only two hours, or finish cooking and having the dish “stand” only two hours. — Heloise DEAR HELOISE: My hint for static-electricity shock: Pin a safety pin

Hints

underneath the hem of your clothing. It works!

— Lorena in Bella Vista, Arkansas Lorena, this is a classic hint that has been around for years. It’s time to remind folks about it. The safety pin acts as a little lightning rod. But surely you won’t get struck by lightning, for heaven’s sake!

Static cling and “zaps” show up this time of year. When you turn on the heating system, the air becomes dry, and it’s a perfect situation for “ZAP” time.

You know it’s going to happen when you touch something metal, or touch another person.

Here are a few hints to prevent that shocking jolt: • Simmer a large pot of water on the stove to add moisture to the air.

• Bowls of water placed around the home can help add moisture to the air. Applying lotion to the skin and a thin layer over hosiery will keep skirts from sticking to legs.

• A small spray bottle filled with water, and maybe a drop of your favorite essential oil (I love lavender), is a Heloise Hint. Just spray with a fine mist two or three times in the room to add moisture to the air.

— Heloise DEAR HELOISE: My husband has several health issues, so we see several doctors and have frequent hospital visits and stays.

I purchase a large three-ring binder at the beginning of each year to use for all the paperwork we receive. I use dividers to separate the doctor types, tests and so on. I also make copies of his ID, insurance card and medicine list to help speed up check-ins.

I have only one item (the binder) to take when it’s time to go.

I hope this idea will make life easier for others. — Sena B., St. Amant, Louisiana DEAR HELOISE: Illustrated greeting cards usually include a printed message. Often, a personal note is enclosed that makes it an item to keep and treasure. Consider recycling them in the form of a bookmark to be enjoyed over and over again. — Edward S., Midland, Texas Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O.

Ottawa High School senior guard Corie Fischer maintains control of the ball as she is surrounded by two Louisburg defenders in Tuesday’s 52-38 victory in Ottawa.

The Ottawa High School girls needed the holiday break to work on a lot of different things.

One of those was ball movement. The Cyclones displayed good ball and player movement in the second half of Tuesday’s home game against Louisburg.

It worked for easy hoops and a 52-38 victory over the Wildcats.

“Everybody needs to touch the ball,” Ottawa coach Kelli Fischer said before the Cyclones shoot the ball. “We did not do it in the first half. We made the adjustment.

“The Christmas break helped a lot. We broke them down a ton.”

Ottawa was aggressive with the ball, making strong moves to the basket or going back door.

“This is a stepping stone for us,” Fischer said. “Louisburg has been tough. It was a huge win. We have leaps and bounds

to go.”

Fischer told the Cyclones the three keys to a victory was rebounding, enthusiasm and execution.

“The second half, we really did that,” she said. “We have to play smarter.”

Fischer said Ottawa was flat emotionally in the first half, but still had a 28-20 lead at halftime.

Ottawa got off to a fast start by scoring the first eight points of the game.

The Cyclones needed to get used to another set of dynamics as senior guard Lauren Davidson was out of the lineup.

Ottawa inserted senior Abigail White in the starting lineup and Ryen White got her first real taste of varsity action. Brynn Ferguson gave Ottawa a lift off the bench.

“Those are opportunities they need to embrace,” Fischer said. “We have kids playing out of position.”

Corie Fischer took over in the third quarter, using back door cuts and driving hard to

the hoop. She netted 12 of her 20 points in the third quarter when Ottawa took control of the game.

Ottawa extended an eightpoint halftime lead into a 4527 advantage heading into the fourth quarter.

“We got layups,” Fischer said. “That is what we work on things in practice. We executed it.”

Brette Moore netted 13 of her 16 points in the first half.

Plus, the six-foot senior was a force on the boards.

“Brette played a phenomenal game,” Fischer said. “We need to go inside.”

Freshman Kamryn Shaffer netted 10 points.

Ottawa’s biggest lead was 22 points at 51-29 with four minutes remaining.

The Cyclones (3-2, 1-1) play 6 p.m. Friday at state-ranked Paola.

Louisburg (38) — Moore 23, Lowry 6, Simpson 4, O’Keefe 5.

Ottawa (52) — Moore 16, Foster 2, Shaffer 10, Fischer 20, Ferguson 1, R. White 3.

Falcons stumble to Osage City

By The Herald Staff

POMONA — The West Franklin High School basketball teams took it on the chin Tuesday against Osage City in Pomona.

The boys fell 55-33, while the girls lost 69-59.

The Falcon boys fell behind early.

Falcon coach Micah Tempel said West Franklin regrouped in the middle quarters.

“At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Will Duda got injured and had to leave the game,” he said. “The rest of the fourth quarter, we lost our mental focus and didn’t play disciplined enough to be successful and Osage ended up putting the game well out of reach.”

Osage City scored the first eight points and led 19-7 after the first quarter.

The Falcons outscored the Indians, 2416, combined in the second and third quarters to come within 35-31 at the end of third quarter.

Osage City outscored the Falcons 20-2 in the fourth quarter.

Klayton Lacey paced the Falcons with 13 points.

West Franklin (33) — Short 2, Duda 5, Rogers 8, Lewis 3, Lacey 13, Altic 2.

Osage City (55) — Haskins 12, Pressgrove 4, Lincoln 1, Holmberg 2, Wilkins 1, Fort 22, Cooley 5, Butterfield 8.

GIRLS

Foul trouble plagued the Falcon girls after the first quarter.

“We played a great first quarter then we got in foul trouble early,” West Franklin coach Trisha Rogers said. “The guards stepped up and took the ball to the rim.

If we can get our guard and post play consistently working together every night, we will win ball games.”

Brittany Shaffer led West Franklin with 22 points. Macy Flory had 15. Fallon Dyer tossed in 11 points.

West Franklin plays Friday at Chase County.

West Franklin (59) — Dyer 11, Ecord 2, McCurdy 4, Brittany Shaffer 22, Flory 15, Hoyt 5.

Towards the end of last season, Ottawa wilted under pressure of so many tight games.

Those players learned and matured from that experience.

The Cyclones returned this season with a lot more moxy in tight situations.

Ottawa displayed its mental toughness Tuesday as Louisburg took the Cyclones to overtime in Ottawa.

The Cyclones dominated the overtime and bounced the Wildcats, 59-53.

“They are tough, gritty group,” Ottawa coach Cliff McCullough said. “What this game does for us is teach us we know how to win. Find a way to win it.

We grew up in that aspect.”

But there are still other aspects with lots of growing left.

Ottawa led 14-4 at the end of the

first quarter, but went flat.

“We jumped out quick and thought everything was going good,” McCullough said. “It is a league game. No league games are going to be easy. They are not going give up. They came out and punched us in the second quarter. We did not handle it very well. Then it was a battle.”

Louisburg went on a 12-0 run to take a 16-14 lead. McCullough said Ottawa needs a leader to step forward and stop runs like that.

“The nature of this group is to sit back and wait for somebody else do it and nobody is doing it,” he said. “That is a lack of leadership. We have a bunch of great kids. That is something we are addressing.”

Ottawa’s depth paid dividends in the end. McCullough subbed five-for-five in the

fourth quarter. The second five upped the intensity.

“They did what we needed them to do,” McCullough said.

“It was a motivation for the other guys.

“We fought incredibly hard, especially in the fourth quarter. It took everybody we had to battle.”

A big play of the game came with two minutes left in overtime when Trey Rich set a screen to free up Isaac McCullough for a drive and score.

It gave Ottawa a 55-50 lead.

“It was a pivotal point in the overtime,” McCullough said. “It took the wind out of their sails and gave us a little bit.

“Trey had a heck of a game.”

Louisburg (53) — Harding 12, Lambeth 10, Moore 4, Wertz 23, Dover 2, Welsh 2.

Ottawa (59) — McCullough 12, Bunce 5, Matney 2, Blaue 10, Smith 12, Carroll 8, A. Stepp 2, Rich 8.

It’s cold outside, but is it too cold for pets?

“We always encourage pets to be inside when temperatures dip down,” Tim Yeaglin, operations manager at Prairie Paws, 3173 K-68, Ottawa, said Wednesday.

Yeaglin joined animal experts from across the region in encouraging pet owners to think about their four-legged friends this week as extreme temperatures continue their icy grip on humans and animals alike.

“If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for your pets,” the Humane Society of Missouri said Tuesday.

“With cold weather here and continuing, [we urge] all pet owners to bring their pets inside and exercise the utmost caution when exposing pets to the cold,” the organization said. “Pets rely on their owners to help stay warm during cold weather.”

— Tim Yeaglin, operations manager, Prairie Paws tips for pet owners to keep dogs and cats safe during harsh winters.

• Have your pet get used to cold weather. If your pet spends most of its time outdoors, introduce the pet slowly to the cold temperatures rather than exposing them all at once. Keep them outside for shorter periods of time working up to longer periods.

• If your pet must be outside, provide a warm shelter to shield them from winds and weather.

The opening of the shelter should face south with a sturdy cover and the inside lined with straw instead of hay or blankets.

Blankets and towels can become

damp and possibly freeze.

“If they’re going to have animals outside in a dog house or something like that, having the opening facing the south is usually preferable and a lot of straw that way they can kind of bed themselves up and have that wind blocked out to try to stay warm,” Yeaglin said.

• Keep an eye on your pet’s paws. Dogs and cats can develop frostbite on their paws, tails and ears. The Humane Society of Missouri advises owners to use discretion in deciding whether to take dogs for runs during the winter.

Caylor files for city commission re-election

By DOUG CARDER Herald Senior Writer

Expressing a desire to continue serving Ottawa residents, Sara Caylor announced Tuesday she has filed for reelection in the Ottawa City Commission race to be decided in April.

Caylor is wrapping up her first, fouryear term on the commission and served as mayor last year.

Caylor “As a community, Ottawa has tremendous promise,” Caylor said in a news release. “I want to keep us on the path to prosperity.”

In her first term as city commissioner, Caylor said she helped to champion the building of two new parks in the community. Caylor also encouraged park space acquisition in underserved areas of Ottawa, she said. She also was a delegate at the KaBoom Leadership Play Summit where national leaders convened to dis-

cuss new and innovated ways to encourage play in our communities and nationwide, the release said.

In addition to parks, sidewalks have been a top priority for Caylor in the last four years, she said. Numerous sidewalks have been constructed, repaired, and made available for residents — including 15th Street, from Eisenhower Road to Main Street, Caylor said.

“Connecting our city by building sidewalks throughout the community is another way to build our relationships with others,” Caylor said.

Caylor joins city commission incumbent Shawn Dickinson and recently retired Ottawa assistant fire chief Richard Oglesby in the city commission race.

Dickinson filed last week and Oglesby filed Dec. 22. The three atlarge seats to be decided at the polls April 7 currently are occupied

by Blake Jorgensen, Caylor and Dickinson.

“We’ve been able to make some great

“As a community, Ottawa has tremendous promise. I want to keep us on the path to prosperity.”

improvements to our community and prepare for continued success,” commissioner Dickinson said when he filed last week. “I’ve learned from the many opportunities and conversations I’ve had and would like to continue to serve our community.”

Oglesby, a 33-year veteran of the Ottawa Fire Department where he was assistant chief since 1999, retired in June.

“I think it is an important time for our community, and I’m always looking for opportunities to serve my community,” Oglesby said on the day he filed.

Jorgensen, a 10-year member of the commission and former mayor, announced in late December that he would

not seek re-election.

Persons interested in running for city commission must file their intentions by noon Jan. 27 in the city clerk’s office at City Hall, 101 S. Hickory St., Ottawa.

Caylor has spent nearly 20 years as a social worker, including the last several years “helping build girls of courage, confidence, and character” with her employer, Girl Scouts of NE Kansas and NW Missouri, the release said. Married to Chad Caylor, the couple have two daughters. Caylor currently serves in leadership roles in the community including: Ransom Memorial Charitable Association, 4th Judicial District Nominating Commission, Franklin

Ag Stewardship conference date set

By The Herald Staff

Calling all farmers.

The annual Ag Stewardship conference, “People helping People,” will be 9 a.m. Feb. 6 at Grace Community Church, 310 E. Eighth St., Overbrook, Kansas.

All farmers, ranchers, absentee landowners, new and beginning farmers, small and specialty crops farmers, and land management agents from the Douglas, Franklin, Osage and Shawnee counties are invited to attend.

The free conference will focus on educating

all types of farmers and producers on laws regarding leasing land for hunting, crops and for grazing animals and tax implications for passing farms down through generations. It also will help farmers plan for the future of their farm and the tax laws regarding the future.

Several speakers will be in attendance at the multi-county meeting.

The conference plans to host Matt Unruh from the Kansas Water Office, according to the release, who will speak on the future of water supply

in Kansas. Art Barnaby from Kansas State University plans to educate those in attendance on the 2014 Farm Bill and Mike Irvin with the Kansas Farm Bureau will update farmers on agricultural laws. To round out the day, Forrest Buhler from the Kansas Agricultural Mediation Service will present on farm families planning their estates.

Lunch will be provided for those in attendance. Pre-registration is required by Jan. 30, 2015. Reservations can be made by contacting

PETS: Cold weather safety tips (Continued from Page 9)

• “A wet pet is a cold pet,” the Humane Society of Missouri said. The organization recommends owners towel-dry or blow-dry pets that have gotten wet from snow or rain outside.

Also, clean your pet’s paws to prevent their pads from cracking or drying out.

• Provide your pet with plenty of food and water. It is much more difficult for dogs and cats to regulate body temperature during the winter causing more energy to be spent and more food consumed. The organization also advises that just because temperatures have dropped doesn’t mean pets can’t get dehydrated.

Be sure to provide plenty of fresh water and check water bowls often to prevent freezing. Yeaglin at Prairie Paws suggested heated water bowls that can be plugged in to prevent freezing.

“Having access to fresh water that’s not frozen is always a concern,” Yeaglin said.

• While your pet spends time outside in the winter, be wary of rock salt and antifreeze. Antifreeze smells sweet to dogs and cats but is lethally toxic. If your dog has consumed antifreeze, contact a veterinarian immediately. Also, be on the lookout for such de-icing agents as rock salt.

The salt can become lodged in the animal’s pads causing irritation. To prevent this, rinse and dry their pads after time outdoors. Some stores carry pet-safe ice melts that work just as well.

• Try to limit your pets’ time

outside. Do not leave pets outside for a prolonged period of time. The Humane Society of Missouri reminds pet owners to be mindful of wind chills.

“Remember — thermometers might show one temperature, but wind chills can make it feel much, much colder,” it said.

• Once your pets are inside, use caution warming them up. Space heaters and other heat sources can burn dogs and cats. The organization also advised to make sure fireplaces have proper screening to prevent pets from sitting too close. Yeaglin at Prairie Paws suggested a laundry room or a basement that’s heated as good areas to bring your dog or cat in from the cold.

• The last bit of advice the Humane Society of Missouri provided to pet owners in the release is to groom your pet regularly, long or short hair.

Short-haired dogs may get colder than long-haired dogs so the organization suggests a sweater.

“If they happen to be a breed that doesn’t have an undercoat, they are very susceptible to the cold,” Yeaglin said.

Long-haired dogs should have the fur on their paws trimmed regularly to prevent snow from clumping in them and for easy removal. Yeaglin warned that clumps of snow in the paws can get underneath the fur and cause a burning sensation, essentially frostbite, for the animals.

To report a pet in distress, contact the Ottawa Police Department at (785) 242-2561 ext. 445 to speak with the Ottawa animal control officer.

the Conservation District in Lyndon at (785) 828-3458, according to the release.

The conference is put together by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Farm Services Agency, Conservation Districts and the Frontier Extension Districts of all four counties.

Beef producers invited to meeting Farmer gives historic building life in Smith Center “Selecting, feeding, and breeding

By The Herald Staff

By TIM UNRUH The Salina Journal

SMITH CENTER — When Nathan Jacobs figured out where he wanted to raise his three daughters, it turned out to also be among his favorite places — home with his family, friends and the warmth of a welcoming community.

As a bonus, the 33-year-old farmer is helping his hometown and county flourish by keeping a downtown landmark alive.

The historic First National Bank building, built in 1889 and on the National Registry of Historic Places, lives on today, thanks to the Kansas Preservation Alliance, which restored the structure. Jacobs bought the building in October and injected more than $250,000 into the project.

“Without them investing in the building and doing some of the work before I purchased it, this wouldn’t have happened,” Jacobs said.

The old bank soon will house at least two businesses and “hopefully” more, he said.

“I always dreamed that it would be my office, but it didn’t work out that way,” said Garoleen Wilson, director of Smith County Economic Development.

TWO BUSINESSES The top floor is

being rented to MAK Collections, a Phoenixbased company that helps individuals and businesses collect unpaid bills. One of the owners, Brandon Hrabe, spent summers with his grandparents in Smith County, Wilson said.

“He came here from Arizona and wanted to raise his kids in a small town,” she said.

Wilson said that Morgan Gauby, an Edward Jones financial adviser, is renting the front half of the main floor. She is a native of Washington County and was living and working in Topeka before moving to Smith Center.

The project has provided work for John Franklin, owner of Solid Rock Construction, a local contractor.

“He also moved here because of family ties,” Wilson said.

Unlike many from his Smith Center High School Class of 1999, Jacobs decided to give up a higher income for the fruits of home.

YOU CAN GO BACK HOME Jacobs, a 2004 graduate of Kansas State University with a degree in finance and a minor in economics, started a career with a small company and moved to larger ones.

“We thought we’d

lost him forever,” Wilson said. “But he had kids and moved back here.”

At his last corporate stop, he was working for Gavilon Grain in Abilene and bowed to a passion for farming. He returned home to farm with his dad, Brent Jacobs.

“I think (Smith County) is a good place to raise a family, with a good community and good schools,” he said. “I make a lot less money, work a lot more hours, and I couldn’t be happier doing it.”

The efforts, investment and decisions by Jacobs are giving hope to a town in an area that has seen people migrate out for generations.

“In these rural counties, we have declining population,” Wilson said. “It continues to spiral, and a lot of downtown buildings are left to deteriorate.”

The local economic development corporation was able to provide some no-interest money and a storefront grant, Jacobs said.

MAK will move into its new digs by Feb. 1 and the Edward Jones office will open by March 1.

“I want the community to thrive so my children have the opportunity to come back here if they choose,” Jacobs said. “Twenty years from now, my kids are going to graduate from college.”

Jenkins: Obama has not heard call of US people regarding pipeline

By The Herald Staff

President Obama has not heard the call of the U.S. people, U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins said Wednesday, referring to Obama’s suggestion that he will veto the passage of the Keystone XL Pipeline bill, according to a news release.

“Unfortunately, the president has not acknowledged the call of the people and has already threatened to veto the approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline and the Save American Workers Act,” Jenkins said during a press conference with Republican leadership. “Americans can’t afford another two years deterred by politics. They can’t afford threats and posturing instead of legitimate legislating. The American people deserve results. The American people deserve a Congress and a President focused on them, not the next election.”

Jenkins said the newly Republicanheld Congress was at work to pass legislation early in the new year, including passing the Hire More Heroes Act, the Save American Workers Act, and

approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline.

The White House said Tuesday that President Obama would veto the approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline, according to media reports.

The new Congress was focused on passing bipartisan laws and the priorities of the American people, Jenkins said.

“The American people were loud and clear and gave America’s New Congress the responsibility to get our country back on track,” Jenkins said.

“We heard this call and we are ready to get off to a quick start. By week’s end, we plan to pass three bipartisan bills to grow this economy and create jobs — the Hire More Heroes Act, the Save American Workers Act, and approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline.

“I do not know what direction President Obama will choose for the last two years of his presidency, but I can guarantee you that your priorities will be our priorities for America’s new Congress,” she added.

It’s what’s for dinner. Beef, that is, and area beef producers are invited to a meeting regarding raising replacement heifers.

The Kansas State University Winter Ranch Management meeting “Building Better Replacements,” is set for 5:30 p.m. Jan. 29 at Grace Community Church, 310 E. Eighth St., Overbrook, Kansas.

The meeting is set to educate members in the beef industry on raising replacement heifers with topics such as market outlook, heifer nutrition, and the Sunflower Supreme Heifer Program among many other areas. Area and state experts in stocker cattle, feedlot nutrition and management, and marketing will be on hand to present

the right replacement heifers can have a large impact on future profits.”

— K-State Research and Extension information and to also engage in the town-hall type meeting.

Members in the beef industry are encouraged to bring questions.

Experts will discuss and answer questions regarding drought management and recovery, bull selection, winter feeding and any other questions asked.

“This year’s record high calf prices and projected cow-calf profitability have many producers considering expansion,” the release said. “Selecting, feed-

ing and breeding the right replacement heifers can have a large impact on future profits.”

To reserve a spot at the Jan. 29 meeting, reservations must be made

by Jan. 23. A brisket dinner will be served at the cost of $5. The meeting is expected to last until 9 p.m.

To make a reservation, contact Frontier Extension District Agent Rod Schaub at (785) 828-4438 or Shawnee County Agent Leroy Russell at (785) 232-0062 ext. 0.

Identifying childhood strengths class set for professionals

By The Herald Staff

Are you good at identifying strengths in people? Want to get better at identifying those strengths?

The Frontier Extension District is set to offer an early childhood and school-age professional development workshop, “Every Child Counts: Building Community,” 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Jan. 22 in the Frontier Extension District Garnett Office, 411 S. Oak St., Garnett.

According to a Frontier Extension District news release, the workshop aims to help professionals learn three areas of early childhood and

school-age development including learning to analyze children to determine their strengths in character, learning caring community qualities, and learning how to bring out caring and nurturing behaviors in children.

“Research has found that people thrive when they use their greatest strengths,” the release said. “Strengths are things you truly enjoy doing, they are not necessarily the things you are good at. What are the children that you care for greatest strengths?

Identifying their character strengths and giving them opportunities to apply them, makes children

feel good about themselves and their lives.”

A registration fee of $5 is required and can be paid upon arrival at the workshop. The release advises attendees pre-register by phone to one of the Frontier Extension District offices in Ottawa (785) 229-3520, Garnett (785) 448-6826, or Lyndon (785) 828-4428.

The workshop is approved by the Kansas Department of Health and Educations for two in-service clock hours.

For more information on the development workshop, contact Rebecca McFarland at the Ottawa extension office.
