Marketing Day another tasty success at SCHS

There was no doubt in Judy Gutierrez’s mind that her business venture would be successful. “Everybody likes Mexican food,” she said confidently during Market Day at Scott Community High School. The long line of customers waiting to buy tacos on Friday was testimony that Gutierrez understood her customer base. Marketing Day is the annual event sponsored by the entrepreneurship program at SCHS. As part of the class, students develop a business plan, calculate sales projections and determine the profit potential for their venture. Over the years, students have determined that food offers the great profit potential with their classmates. “Everybody loves sugar. Everybody loves chocolate. How (See MARKET on page 10)

With two-thirds of the county’s registered voters showing up at the polls or casting their ballots in advance, Trump was easily the local choice by a 1,823 to 228 margin over Hillary Clinton. Scott County voters stayed with a straight party ticket all the way down the ballot with Sen. Jerry

Moran (1,863), Congressmanelect Roger Marshall (1,719) and State Senator-elect Mary Jo Taylor (1,814) easily winning their contested races over Independent or Democratic candidates. Incumbent State Representative Don Hineman of the 118th District received 1,906 votes. There were no contested races at the county level with each of the incumbent office holders reelected.

Justices Are Retained The ballot question that was drawing a lot of interest statewide involved the retention of five Supreme Court Justices. Four justices who were appointed by governors prior to the Sam Brownback Administration were targeted by a statewide campaign with a goal of removing them from office so their replacements (See VOTERS on page two)

Council to again seek taxiway bids The Scott City Council has decided to again seek bids for concrete work on a new taxiway at the airport. The council has previously considered the project earlier this year, but turned down the only bid because it exceeded the engineer’s estimate. When the council opened bids in March for a new taxiway, the only proposal came from Bryant and Bryant Construction with a base cost of $183,000. Engineer Darin Neufeld felt that since the cost was much higher than the estimate, he recommended reject-

ing the bid and bidding the dirt work separately. In June, the Council accepted a bid for the dirt work of $5,941 from Dirks Earthmoving. The proposed east/west taxiway will connect near the northwest corner of the existing north/ south taxiway. It will run parallel with a taxiway that has been constructed by Frontier Ag. Long-term plans are for the new taxiway to eventually connect with three additional taxiways that are proposed. There are already taxiways that serve two private hangars as well as a

roundtop hangar that will soon be replaced by T-hangars. Plans are for those existing taxiways to be extended to the north. However, the east/west taxiway will be the starting point for all of this proposed construction and, again, it will come down to cost. Neufeld said he has been contacted by Sporer Construction, Oakley, which said they had a “window” when it could do the concrete work and was interested in submitting a bid. Neufeld said he had received

a preliminary proposal that was competitive with the proposal submitted by Bryant and Bryant. Another option, said Neufeld, would be for the company that is constructing the T-hangar to submit a bid for concrete work when they are in town. “But, that may not happen until April or May,” noted Neufeld. The city will seek bids, but electrical work and seeding will be subcontracted by the city. The city will not be eligible for an Federal Aviation Administration grant for this project, which will (See BIDS on page 10)

Scott County voters didn’t buck the trend - statewide or nationally - during Tuesday’s general election. A huge turnout gave overwhelming support to Republican President-elect Donald Trump. However, they also agreed with voters across the state who didn’t get behind Gov. Sam Brownback’s effort to remove four justices from the Kansas Supreme Court.

Saving valuable time during the holiday season These are some rambling ideas going through my head with no rhyme or reason to what I’m writing about this week. I am thinking about the holidays and how I can squeeze more time into my days. Well, Carol Ann that isn’t going Crouch Family and to happen, so I Consumer Sciences have to figure how to get more Agent for Scott County out of my time.

Here are some helpful ideas. If you need to quickly bring a stick of butter or margarine to room temperature for a baking recipe, cut it up in to small pieces so that there is more surface exposure to the room temperature. You can use the same technique when melting in a pan as well. The more surface of the butter against the pan surface, the faster it will melt. You can also place cold stiff butter in a plastic bag and beat it with a rolling pin and it will help soften it faster. You

The LBD never goes out of style

High Plains Study Club met on Nov. 3 at the home of Ivadelle Cotton. Members were asked to wear a black dress or outfit for the program entitled “The Little Black Dress.” Roll call was answered by 20 members describing themselves in one word. After a short business meeting, Ivadelle gave an in-depth presentation of the history and evolution of the little black dress, commonly known as the “LBD.” First introduced in 1926 by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, the LBD has become a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. Although styles have changed over the years, the basic LBD still serves many purposes for women across the globe. Becky Wilkinson, Wichita, joined the members in showing the multitude of ways the LBD can be dressed up or dressed down, worn for work, play, elegant evenings out, or a casual outing with friends. Members learned the only thing stifling its ver-

satility is one’s imagination. Members enjoyed trying on jewelry, scarves and other accessories and seeing how each transformed the little black dresses into something new and different. Co-hostess Marilyn Dryer served a seasonal pumpkin dessert. It was accompanied by “little black boxes” containing nuts and chocolate made by Ivadelle that were complete with a mini stiletto shoe on top. Just like a little black dress, no woman can say no to chocolate. Lucky dip was brought by Madeline Murphy and won by Barb Dickhut. Dorothy Spitzer was drawn to bring to the next meeting. The next meeting will be Nov. 20 at the Scott County Library with the program, “Precious Lives (Human Trafficking).” It will be presented by Lisa Christopherson, Fort Collins, Colo. Co-hostess for the event will be Karen Compton and Jane Ann McClellan.

never want to soften in the microwave as this will actually make the butter melt and will not be useful in your recipes. What if you do get the butter too soft? Add an ice cube to the butter in a bowl and stir a few minutes, it will stiffen right back up. Remove the ice. When we bake cookies, we often have to leave them on the baking sheet a few minutes until they firm up enough to transfer to a cooling rack. If you left your cookies in the oven to long, they will already

be firm enough, so move them to the cooling rack immediately. This will prevent them from continuing the “baking” process on the baking sheet. Hopefully they will be editable. When baking cookies, keep the dough in the refrigerator between batches so that the fat in the recipe doesn’t get soft and your cookies will not get as flat when baking.

Editorial/Opinion

Page 4 - Thursday, November 10, 2016

editorially speaking

Justice prevailed:

Judge retention maintains our checks and balances

While Kansas was doing its part to bring about a Trump presidency, it wasn’t a clean sweep for ultraconservatives in Kansas. Voters rejected an intense campaign to remove four of the Supreme Court Justices by margins of about 55-45 percent. Given the amount of money spent and the intense propaganda campaign over the last several months to remove targeted justices, the Supreme Court will remain intact. Gov. Sam Brownback will not realize the ultimate prize of selecting four new judges to the high court. Whether voters were simply reluctant to put that much power into the governor’s hands, or they realized that the funding of their public schools was at risk, at least common sense prevailed and we have maintained the checks and balances which are so essential to a democracy. That’s not to say the threat will ever go away. Ultraconservatives will continue this fight another day. But, at least in this one instance, Kansans chose to vote in their best interest.

Reality:

Now Trump must deliver on campaign promises

It would seem that conservative and ultra-conservative Republicans got what they want. After decades of anti-government rhetoric - going back to Ronald Reagan’s famous tongue-in-cheek comment, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you” - that anger and frustration with anything government has been channeled into a Trump presidency. For the past year, Trump has been an echo chamber for every social ill and complaint. Whether it was illegal immigration, job insecurity or the perceived threat of terrorism from refugees escaping their wartorn nation, Trump became an expert at exploiting those fears and becoming a new symbol of hope and change for more than 50 million voters. After winning election to the U.S. Senate in “The Candidate,” Robert Redford asks his campaign manager in the final scene, “What do we do now?” That’s a question that should be on everyone’s mind as they wait to see how a reality TV star plans to deliver on all those promises that will make our troubles disappear. How soon will construction begin on the wall between the U.S. and Mexico? What are the plans for deporting some 14 million illegal immigrants? What are the plans for the millions of Muslims already living within our borders? When will all the jobs begin returning to our country? Trump may well be the most ill-prepared individual in this nation to assume the role of President. He has made some grand and troubling promises. How Trump plans to deliver on his promises is only part of the problem facing this nation. What we have witnessed over the course of this presidential campaign is an individual who has spent more time hurling insults than he has ideas. Trump didn’t win this election on the strength of his ideas, but on his ability to stir fear and create an unprecedented level of divisiveness that hasn’t been seen in a presidential election since the years leading up to the Civil War. This election is historic, only because there will come a time when we have to explain to our children why this national tragedy was allowed to happen . . . and that’s not hyperbole. Who can sit down with their daughter and explain why it’s okay to have a President who treats women as second-class citizens and says it’s okay to grab them by their private parts? How can we defend to our children that it’s okay to have a President who demeans minorities, refugees and the handicapped and demonstrates such intolerance for those who don’t agree with his point of view? At a time when we need progressive thinking in order to meet the challenges facing this country, we have chosen to take a step back in time 60 years to the pre-civil rights era by suppressing the voting rights of minorities and by creating an atmosphere where our wives and mothers don’t deserve the same pay and equal treatment as men. Many Americans fear the present and are terrified of the future. Trump and ultraconservative Republicans are attempting to ease those fears by promising something they can’t possibly deliver - a return to Mayberry where everyone is safe, secure and white. Make no mistake, however, Donald Trump is no Andy Griffith. Neither is he the anti-establishment candidate that he has portrayed. He may not play well with others, but Trump represents everything within the financial and political establishment that his supporters were protesting with their votes. Trump, however, is anti-everything that’s supposed to make us a just, compassionate and moral people. And now he’s our President.

We are all to blame for Trump

Just when you think you’ve reached rock bottom . . . you find you’re not there yet. One wonders if we’ve hit bottom in Kansas with a governor whose approval ratings couldn’t get him elected dog catcher and with a state budget hanging by a thread. We’d like to think it can’t get any worse, but we have our doubts. We felt the same way about a presidential campaign that was too long, too expensive and, above all, too offensive. We were wrong. Who could have imagined Donald Trump finding a path to winning the presidency by denigrating minorities, demeaning women and stirring racial hatred? Who could have predicted that we were a nation with 57 million voters willing to follow the Pied Piper of SelfGlorification down that path? If you don’t think it can get any worse, guess again. It can, and probably will, because we’re fascinated about the pros-

pect of a 15-car NASCAR pileup. More than 80 million people watched the first Clinton-Trump debate - not because they wanted to be enlightened about policy on reducing the federal deficit or coping with climate change - but because they wanted to see Trump insult and mock Clinton in front of a national audience, just as he had done to each of his Republican rivals. Now that fascination with disaster has put Trump in the White House. What that says about us is more troubling than what it says about Trump. That includes the very media that Trump disdains and has even threatened at his political rallies. It’s the same media that gave him larger-than-life status because it made them money. Referring to the Trump candidacy, Leslie

Moonves, chief executive of CBS, said earlier this year, “It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS.” In other words, the country be damned as long as it boosts the corporate bottom line. At what point does one’s moral obligation override one’s fiscal obligation to corporate stockholders? And what might those stockholders be thinking now as the stock market plunges in reaction to a Trump presidency? When you dance with the devil . . . News organizations were pandering to Trump and giving him the platform his ideas never deserved. They were complicit in creating this disaster of a candidate who will soon be president. It didn’t have to happen as long as the media would have been focused on doing its job - search for the truth and expose liars for what they are. The reputable factchecking group PolitiFact found that statements made by Hillary Clinton

during the campaign were “mostly or completely, pants-on-fire false” 27 percent of the time. If you put that on a grading scale, that makes Clinton a “low C” student. She’s an honor student compared to Trump who lied 70 percent of the time, says PolitiFact. Where was the media while this was happening? Chris Wallace, who is supposed to be one of the more respected journalists with Fox News, said “that’s not my job,” when asked whether he would call out one of the presidential candidates if they lied during a debate. It is your job just as it’s the job of all journalists to challenge any political candidate when they lie. That’s just as true in front of a national TV audience as it is during a town hall meeting where our Congressmen and legislators seem to think they should get a free pass from a non-thinking, nonquestioning constituency. Which begs the next question. Do lies matter? (See BLAME on page six)

It is up to us to begin the healing

Now that the election is over and we have a new president-elect, we and our children and grandchildren must figure out how to recover something precious that all of us have lost. How Donald Trump handles the presidency is of enormous consequence, of course, but equally crucial to the future of our democracy is how Americans handle the fact that one of two deeply disliked and mortally feared candidates won and one of them lost the most bitter, lie-driven and venal campaign in living memory. For reasons illustrated by that campaign, neither candidate could deliver on their promises and aspirations, and their relentless personal attacks made either one incapable of fostering national reconciliation.

Where to Write

another view by Davis Merritt

Who, then, can “bind up the wounds” resulting from the deepest national schism since the Civil War? Certainly not the hundreds of people we were elected on Tuesday, because all of politics has become a zero sum game in which opposing sides define every issue at the extreme that best suits their needs, perpetuating distance rather than reducing it. The political system cannot right itself because the self-correcting dynamic of compromise no longer exists within it. Reflecting this chasm, too much of our social, civic and even personal lives have become politics-free zones. The instinct of ordinary people

Gov. Sam Brownback 2nd Floor - State Capitol Topeka, Ks. 66612-1501 (785) 296-3232

is to talk with other ordinary people about shared concerns and how to deal with them (the essence of politics), but this decade of division makes such conversations, whether casual or important, too risky and unsatisfactory for the office or school corridor or the bus stop or even the family dinner table. Reflecting that chasm, our abuse of social media has turned the exchange of competing ideas into a blood sport executed with anger, hatred and verbal violence. Repelled or intimidated by the culture of division and hostility, most Americans leave politics exclusively to a political class that has neither the incentive nor the ability to heal itself, much less heal the broader society. So healing is up to us. That means identifying shared concerns

within our existing civic structures - for example business associations, churches, foundations, education, medicine - and calling upon the leaders of diverse and often competing elements within those sectors to expand their concept of leadership. Because our greedfueled, ideology-encrusted political system cannot effectively address those concerns, it’s up to the stakeholders and their leaders to cooperatively decide what best serves the diverse beliefs and needs of a given sector and present to politicians worked-through, resolved models of acceptable solutions. Naïve? Probably. Impractical? Perhaps. But, believing that our political system can or will do that work is the ultimate naiveté. (See HEALING on page six)

Saying a prayer for the future of America by Ruth Marcus

On Saturdays in synagogues across the United States, Jews recite a prayer for our country. In my synagogue, the custom is that the congregation stands, and says the prayer in unison. * * * Our God and God of our ancestors: We ask Your blessings for our country - for its government, for its leaders and advisers, and for all who exercise just and rightful authority. Teach then insights from Your Torah that they may administer all affairs of state fairly, that peace and security, happiness and prosperity, justice and freedom may forever abide in our midst. * * * Until Donald Trump’s run for the presidency, this moment in the liturgy felt like boilerplate. It was a nice expression of patriotism; certainly, in the edgy days after Sept. 11, our country felt in need of joint and fervent prayer. But, its exhortations to justice and tolerance seemed superfluous. No one could disagree with them. Until Trump, and Trump’s divisive rhetoric, upended the assumption that politicians of both parties share an essential platform of agreement on matters of basic decency, of respect for those of other religions and backgrounds. And until Trump’s election made the prayer for our country all the more relevant - and all the more imperative. Creator of all flesh, bless all the inhabitants of our country with Your spirit. May citizens of all races and creeds forge a common bond in true harmony, to banish hatred and bigotry and to safeguard the ideals and free institutions that are the pride and glory of our country. Banishing hatred and bigotry? Think of Trump on Mexican rapists flooding into the country; on a “Mexican” judge supposedly disqualified by reason of his background from fairly hearing a case; on calling for a “total and complete shutdown” of Muslims entering the country; on disrespecting Gold Star Muslim parents (“His wife . . . maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say”). Think of Trump mocking a disabled reporter, demeaning women for their looks, asserting his freedom to “grab them by the p---y.” Safeguarding ideals and free institutions? Think of Trump on “open(ing) up our libel laws.” On ordering torture (“I would bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding”). On encouraging violence at his rallies (“Knock the crap out of them.” “I’d like to punch him in the face.”). On locking up his opponent (“You’d be in jail”) or inciting violence against her (“If she gets to pick her judges - nothing you can do folks. Although the Second Amendment people. Maybe there is.”). On refusing to commit to respecting the outcome of a democratic election, and recklessly suggesting that it would be “rigged.” May this land, under Your providence be an influence for good throughout the world, uniting all people in peace and freedom - helping them to fulfill the vision of Your prophet: “Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they experience war any more.” An influence for good throughout the world? Think of Trump on NATO, threatening (See PRAYER on page six)

stunned

Celebration cake, nation both bewildered by Dana Milbank

Baker Melissa Alt showed up unbidden at Trump Tower on Election Day with a 40-pound cake in the form of a Donald Trump bust, and Trump aides liked the likeness enough to display it in the ballroom at Trump’s election-night party. But, there was something wrong with the chocolate confection. Alt was aiming to reproduce Trump’s pout, but she wound up making him look startled and sad. After Tuesday night, that’s the exact expression worn by tens of millions of Americans and countless more across the globe. Just before 3:00 a.m., the unthinkable had become official. In the ballroom of New York’s Hilton hotel, the Fox News screens in the room carried the surreal banner: “Donald Trump Wins Presidency.” The theme from “Air Force One” played. From a balcony above the ballroom, Trump appeared, in the fashion of British royalty or a certain Italian leader. He descended to the stage with family and aides, and the president-elect exulted. “It’s been what they call a historic event,” he said. It shocked journalists. It shocked markets, which tumbled. It apparently surprised Trump himself. A petulant Trump on election eve told a crowd a loss would make this campaign “the single greatest waste of time.” If only it had just been a waste of

time. If only Trump’s candidacy hadn’t ripped the country apart by race, gender, religion and ethnicity. If only it hadn’t turned the proud Republican Party into a xenophobic amalgamation of angry, older white men. If only it hadn’t left the country bitter and all but ungovernable. Seventeen months ago, Trump descended the elevator at Trump Tower, blocks from his victory party at the Hilton. He began with rapists and criminals, and closed with “bad hombres” and a “nasty woman.” In between, there was: his proposed ban on Muslims; violence at his rallies; groping allegations; Miss Piggy; his making scapegoats of minorities; vows to put his opponent in jail; encouragement of Russia’s hacking; and a threat not to

honor the election results. Finally, there was FBI Director James B. Comey’s October Surprise, reopening his investigation of Clinton and then closing it nine days later - an intervention that, exit polls suggest, may have tipped the balance. Whatever the cause, at about 9:00 p.m. Tuesday evening, the world changed. The early returns had looked grim, even on Fox News, playing on all TVs at Trump’s party. But, when Fox News began reporting a tight race in Florida, guests from the nearby VIP receptions filled the ballroom. The billionaire candidate offered his supporters a cash bar for the evening, and his anti-elitist followers shelled out $13 for cocktails, $13 for glasses of wine and (See STUNNED on page six)

And the winner is . . . big money by Jim Hightower

In one of Agatha Christie’s murder mysteries, the key clue that solved the whodunit wasn’t something that happened, but something that didn’t - specifically, a dog that didn’t bark. That plot fits one of the great mysteries of this year’s TrumpClinton race for president: There was no barking at the democracy-murdering power of big corporate money in our politics. Record expenditures of at least $6.6 billion flooded into this national election, most of it from a handful of plutocratic interests blatantly buying controlling shares of the White House and Congress.

A new look at foreign policy Trump’s goals will erode America’s world leadership

Donald Trump proclaimed “America First” on his way to his head-spinning victory in Tuesday’s presidential election, and the success of that message will rock many foreign capitals where leaders have feared that Trump would alter the basics of U.S. foreign policy. Making predictions about Trump’s foreign policy is difficult, given his lack of experience. But, the most likely bet is that as president he will seek to do what he promised during the campaign in breaking from current U.S. approaches to Russia, the Middle East, Europe and Asia. Traveling abroad over the past year, I heard concern about Donald Trump’s candidacy from senior officials in more than a dozen countries. He was viewed as an inexperienced and unreliable figure who might dismantle traditional U.S. commitments and alliances. Most foreign leaders will be upset that Hillary Clinton, an advocate of traditional U.S. strategy and commitments, lost the race.

In Europe, Trump’s victory is likely to reinforce the trend toward politicians expressing similar right-wing, nationalist views. The avatar of this neo-nationalism was the surprise victory of Brexit supporters in June’s referendum in Britain, and there are comparable movements in France, Germany, Italy and Spain. President Trump will have to decide whether to embrace such movements, which could destabilize the European Union.

ist” focus on U.S. national interests and a rejection of costly U.S. engagements abroad. It will likely bring these changes: •A move to improve relations with a combative, assertive Russia. Trump stressed repeatedly during the campaign, at some political cost, that he would work with President Vladimir Putin. “I think I’d be able to get along with him,” he said in September. “If he says great things about me, I’m gonna say great things about him. . . . I mean, the man has very strong control over a country.” Trump also discounted allegations that Russian hackers had meddled in the presidential election. “I doubt it, I doubt it,” Trump said

when asked in an Oct. 19 debate about a statement by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper Jr. accusing “Russia’s senior-most officials” of approving hacking of Democratic Party websites. Trump’s denial led some Democrats to argue that electing Trump had been Russia’s real goal. •A joint military effort with Russia and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to defeat the Islamic State. Trump proposed this shared campaign during that same debate. “If Russia and the United States got along well and went after ISIS, that would be good,” he said. He offered positive comments about Assad, saying, “He’s just much tougher and much smarter than her (Clinton),” adding that if the opposition should win in Syria, “you may very well end up with worse than Assad.” Trump also promised repeatedly that he would step up the U.S. military campaign against the Islamic State and replace U.S. generals who were insufficiently combative. But, he has been vague about what he plans to do in Iraq and Syria. •A new push for European allies to pay more for their own defense. It’s unlikely that Trump will dismantle NATO, as critics charged during the campaign. (See POLICY on page six)

America’s dark underbelly is now our face by Peter Certo

An election that might have marked the ascension of America’s first woman president has instead proven historic for an altogether different reason. Namely, that Americans voted for the unabashedly anti-democratic alternative offered by her rival. And they did it despite his almost cartoonish shortcomings. Trump didn’t just offend pious liberals

with his hard line on immigration, disdain for democratic norms, and disinterest in policy. He transgressed standards of decency across all political persuasions. He bragged about sexually assaulting women. He disparaged injured war veterans. He was endorsed by the KKK. And now he’s America’s voice on the world stage. How could that happen? Here’s one theory you might’ve heard: After years of seeing

their jobs outsourced, their incomes slashed, and their suffering ignored, the white working class threw in their lot with the candidate who cast aside political niceties and vowed to make their communities great again. It’s a nice story - I even used to buy a version of it myself. But, while Trump surely did clean up with white voters, the evidence simply doesn’t support the idea that they were as hard-up as the story goes. For instance, pollster

Healing Blame

Nate Silver found during the GOP primary that Trump supporters pulled in a median income of $72,000 a year - some $10,000 more than the national median for white households. And while many did come from areas with lower social mobility, they were less likely to live in the stricken manufacturing communities Trump liked to use as backdrops for his rallies. So if it wasn’t the economy, was it Hillary? Clinton was clearly

unpopular, in many cases for defensible reasons. She was cozy with Wall Street. She backed poorly chosen wars. Apparently people didn’t like the way she emailed. But, when you consider that we chose to give the nuclear codes to a man whose own aides refused to trust with a Twitter account over a former secretary of state, it hardly seems like Trump voters were soberly comparing the two candidates. Instead, Vox writers

Zach Beauchamp and Dylan Matthews poured through scores of studies and found a much more robust explanation - and it isn’t pretty. It’s what pollsters gently call “racial resentment.” That is, Trump’s core supporters were far more likely than other Republicans to hold negative views of African Americans, Latinos, and Muslims. They overwhelmingly favored the

create an atmosphere of political cooperation and begin breaking down the barriers of mistrust? The media - some more than others - are responsible for creating a Trump presidency. The media can’t undo the disaster it’s helped to create, but it can hold Trump accountable for his lies and become the truth squad that too many journalists don’t feel fits their job description. That will likely continue what is already a very contentious relation-

ship between the media, Trump and his supporters. Given the level of animosity Trump was successful in creating toward the media, it could even be dangerous. But, this is no longer a novelty. A Trump presidency has become the ultimate reality show. It’s time for everyone - especially the media - to play their role. There’s far more at stake than television ratings.

Despite the numbers provided by PolitiFact, just 30 percent of Americans found Hillary Clinton trustworthy in a poll conducted earlier this year.

In past moments of great peril to our democracy, we have come together under strong political leadership to accomplish extraordinary things, for instance in 1861 and 1939. This time we must do it ourselves.

Prayer

to abrogate treaty obligations unless countries ante up, and that he would only defend the Baltic states against a Russian invasion if they have “fulfilled their obligations to us.” Think of Trump’s cozying up with Vladimir Putin (“at least he’s a leader”). Think about Trump on standing up to Turkey or other regimes repressing democracy and human rights. “I don’t know that we have a right to lecture,” he told the New York Times. “When the world looks at how bad the United States is and then we go and talk about civil liberties, I don’t think we’re a very good messenger.” Neither shall they experience war any more? Think of Trump recklessly suggesting that South Korea and Japan maybe even Saudi Arabia - should be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. Think of Trump’s boastful assertion that “I know more about ISIS than the generals do, believe me.” Now Trump has been elected, which means he will be exercising, in the words of the prayer, “rightful authority” authority that the voters granted him, even if he would not have accepted the outcome had it gone against him. Whether Trump’s tenure will be just is another matter. That remains a dangerously open question about which we can only pray for our country, more fervently than ever. And hope that our other leaders, in Congress and the courts, will be strong enough to safeguard our ideals and free institutions during the potentially perilous course of the Trump presidency.

commentator Glenn Beck who was not a Trump supporter and was dismayed at the election outcome. He says that, as the election reflects, people have abandoned their ability or desire to reason. “. . . they’re not listening. And when you get into so much fear and so much anger, the mind’s mechanism is to just shut down reason and they’re not listening to reason.” He noted that “we don’t listen to each other and we don’t trust each other.” He’s right.

Stunned $11 for beer. The booze flowed. Scores of empty bottles of Jack Daniels and Stolichnaya and beer were carted out, and hundreds of new glasses carted in. More empty liquor bottles were removed, and more cases of wine wheeled in. One Trump aide turned to another with a smile and said, “We may be going to Washington.” Rudy Giuliani and other surrogates filed in, and Sarah Palin paused to taunt a reporter about the results. As the Trump wins dribbled in - Ohio, then North Carolina and Florida - the ballroom audience began to sound like a football crowd: chants of “USA!,” “Build a wall” and “Drain the swamp,” fists pumping in the air, and plastic cocktail cups (the hotel

Policy He said in a debate that Clinton was telling “just another lie” when she accused him of undermining commitments to defend NATO allies and Asian partners such as Japan and South Korea. But, he never retreated from an April 27 speech in which he said “the U.S. must be prepared to let these countries defend themselves,” even if that means letting them acquire nuclear weapons.

individuals on both ends of the political spectrum can agree on that, it’s a start.

had run out of glasses) held high. After Wisconsin and Iowa fell to Trump, almost all on the floor were in red Trump hats, lustily booing Juan Williams when Fox News’s liberal commentator, an African-American, protested Trump’s false statements about black people. When Clinton campaign chief John Podesta appeared from Clinton headquarters on the Fox News screens in the room to say Clinton wasn’t yet conceding, Trump’s supporters punched fists in the air and raised middle fingers at the screens. More cases of beer were wheeled in. Next to the bar, the Trump cake still looked worried. Maybe the human Trump should worry, too. He stirred up racial and religious hatred and

stoked gender and class resentments, validated conspiracy theorists and the racist alt-right, employed a vast oeuvre of untruths and promised followers an unachievable agenda. How does he govern now? When the race was finally called for Trump, he gave an uncharacteristically magnanimous speech, saying we owe Clinton “a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country,” promising to be the “president for all Americans,” and appealing for “common ground, not hostility; partnership, not conflict.” Congratulations, Mr. President-elect.

That’s why a phenomenal 78 percent of the public is united in support of overturning the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision. That ruling opened the floodgates to this corrupting torrent of cash, producing public policies that profit corporations at the expense of the common good. With so much at stake and such overwhelming public agreement for stopping this wholesale purchase of America’s democracy, how odd that neither major candidate barked much at Citizens United. Of course, what we have here is a neon example of the political cowardice created by the politics of Big Money. Hillary Clinton relied heavily on Super PAC and Wall Street funding for her campaign. And The Donald, who started out bragging about being rich enough to self-finance his run, has in fact been backed by millions of dollars from sleazy billionaire oligarchs like casino baron Sheldon Adelson. Rather than running on this fundamental issue of democratic power, the two top candidates ran from it. But, they can’t hide from it.

Germany, Italy and Spain. President Trump will have to decide whether to embrace such movements, which could destabilize the European Union. •An attempt to alter the terms of trade in Asia by renegotiating trade pacts and forcing China to revalue its currency. It’s hard to predict how this combative approach to globalization will play out. Often, Trump’s extreme rhetoric and threats against business partners are tactics in what he famously described as “the art of the deal.” A China that’s already experiencing a bubble economy might well be vulnerable to U.S. economic pressure. But the most likely outcome of

Trump’s protectionist rhetoric will be a global economic downturn, many analysts have argued. Trump’s campaign was premised on the idea that his approach would “make America great again.” His presidency will test that proposition. But, many analysts argue that by putting America’s interests first so nakedly, he may push many U.S. allies in Europe and Asia to make their own deals with a newly assertive Russia and a rising China. Undoing globalization isn’t possible. But, undermining America’s leadership in that system would be all too easy. David Ignatius is an associate editor and columnist for The Washington Post

migration between the U.S. and Mexico fell to zero during the Obama years, yet Trump still launched his campaign with an infamous tirade against Mexican “rapists” and “murderers.” None of that is to accuse all Trump voters

of racism. But, even if the bulk of them were just Republicans following their nominee, the social science strongly suggests that one of our major parties has been captured by whites so anxious about the changing face of America that they were willing to vote alongside

There are so many secrets to baking pies. I could write a whole column on it, but not today. If you use aluminum foil pie pans, it is recommended that you place that pie on a baking sheet. It will help brown the bottom crust better and will add stability when you are placing and removing the pie to and from the oven. Baking Breads If you are a bread maker, you know that the extra dough that is stuck in the bowl is a mess to clean. If you use a sponge for cleanup, you might as

well throw it away and is hard to remove from a brush’s bristles too. Use a small chunk of aluminum foil to swipe around the bowl first. Don’t scrub too hard so that you don’t leave silver streaks in your bowl from the foil, but it should take out most of the sticky mess. Toss the foil when done and then wash the bowl. Need to chop nuts? Place them in a plastic bag and run your rolling pin across them. Limits the mess of trying to actually chop the nuts and it keeps them in one spot ready to be measured out. Always pre-heat your oven unless the recipe tells you differently. Wax paper and parchment paper are not interchangeable. Do not use wax paper in the oven.

it from getting too dark. Speaking of pies, when I make a fresh fruit pie like apple or berry, I precook my filling. I just put everything into a pot that the recipe calls for (minus the crust) and pre-cook until the fruit is about half cooked. I watch the filling closely to see if I will need to add some liquid to keep it from burning or if I need to add some thickener to keep it from being runny. This will depend upon what type of fruit you are cooking with. Ever since I started doing this, I no longer have runny pies.

Sweet Potato Casserole What makes it so good is the pecan topping. Ingredients 4 cups sweet potato, cubed 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons butter, softened 1/2 cup milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons butter, softened 1/2 cup chopped pecans Directions Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Put sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan with water to cover. Cook over medium high heat until tender; drain and mash. In a large bowl, mix together the sweet potatoes, white sugar, eggs, salt, butter, milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish. In medium bowl, mix the brown sugar and flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse. Stir in the pecans. Sprinkle the mixture over the sweet potato mixture. Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until the topping is lightly brown.

Super Moist Pumpkin Bread The moistness comes from the addition of an unusual ingredient: coconut milk. If sweetened coconut is used, reduce white sugar to 1/2 cup. Ingredients 1 cup chopped walnuts 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups packed dark brown sugar 2/3 cup white sugar 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 2 cups pumpkin puree 1 cup vegetable oil 2/3 cup coconut milk 2/3 cup flaked coconut Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8x4 inch loaf pans. Spread walnuts in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Set aside to cool. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Add the pumpkin puree, oil, and coconut milk, and mix until all of the flour is absorbed. Fold in the flaked coconut and toasted walnuts. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven, and cover loaves tightly with foil. Allow to steam for 10 minutes. Remove foil, and turn out onto a cooling rack. Tent loosely with the foil, and allow to cool completely. Yield: 2 - 8x4 inch loaves

Market could I go wrong?” observed Natali Navarrete who was selling a variety of Oreo balls at her concession stand. It helps that Market Day is held during the three lunch shifts which naturally lends itself to food sales. “I’ve seen very few food items that don’t go over well. We have a student body that likes to eat,” said instructor Kevin Reese with a laugh. “Some food stands will sell out earlier than others and that allows those who didn’t sell so much during the first couple of shifts to make up some ground later.” While students have opportunities to take preorders and offer sales outside of Marketing Day, most of the transactions occur during the 90 minute lunch period. Taking a Risk While Robert Cummins went the reliable food route, he decided to do something a little out of the norm by offering pizza pockets. “This was original and no one else was doing it. I don’t know of anyone in the past who has sold them,” says Cummins, who sold about 120 during the day. His asking price of $6 for two pizza pockets and a drink seemed to go well with his customers. “I figured what it cost to make them and I doubled the price,” Cummins explained. “That way I could make a little (money).” “We talk a lot about being innovative and doing something different from everyone else,” Reese said. “The pizza pockets were kind of a risk, but it seemed to work out well.” Reese says he visits with students about market surveys and research, but emphasized that personal observation may be the most reliable means of determining one’s marketing potential. “We did take some preliminary surveys, but I warn the kids not to trust a survey completely. What someone says they liked in a survey two weeks ago may change on Market Day when they see something else they didn’t know would be available,” Reese says. “You have to realize that customers will change

their minds pretty fast.” At the same time, he emphasizes that when these entrepreneurs are participating in an event once a year, and trying to gauge customer support during a 90 minute time frame, it’s pretty difficult to know what a customer will want and what they’re willing to pay. “Because of the nature of this, there’s going to be more risk involved,” he says. One way of diminishing that risk is to sell product in advance, which is what Jack Thomas and Adrian Ruelas did with t-shirt and sweatshirt sales. Thomas says it also helped following in the footsteps of Kylee Trout who set a Market Day record last year with t-shirt sales. “Kylee made a lot of money selling shirts last year so I figured it must be a good idea,” Thomas says. Rather than listing the SCHS state championships which proved very successful for Trout, Thomas gave his customers the option of putting a name and number on their t-shirts and sweatshirts. Sweatshirts sold for $40, plus another $5 for the name and number. T-shirts were priced at $15. With sales still coming in, Thomas had already sold about 73 t-shirts and sweatshirts.

Observing Demand Navarrete said she decided to sell Oreo balls because another student had offered them last year “and they were already sold out by my lunch shift,” she says. It wasn’t until later that Navarrete realized that the food sales were part of an entrepreneur class, so she decided she wanted to enroll in the program. Navarrete offered her customers four options: chocolate with powdered sugar, dark chocolate, white chocolate and Oreo balls in the shape of a football “since this is a game day.” “I figured my expenses were between 10 and 19 cents each. I figured 50 cents would be a fair price since that’s what I would pay if I was on the other side of the table as a cus-

tomer,” she noted. “When I tell them the cost, kids will say, ‘Great, I’ll get more.’ And I tell them, ‘Go ahead.’” However, the lines were longest in front of Gutierrez’s taco table which were sold out during the second lunch shift. Gutierrez estimates she sold about 300 tacos. In calculating her sales potential, Gutierrez estimated there were about 80 students in each lunch shift and she figured on capturing two-thirds of that market. “I’ve always wondered in the past why no one sold tacos (during Market Day) because everyone loves tacos. And everybody loves Mexican food,” she said. There’s a very good chances that tacos will be back on the menu next year.

Our Community OCC gave Creek hope For many people who fill an Operation Christmas Child shoebox with a handful of personal items, it’s simply a way of sharing with others during the holiday season. For Irina Creek, it was a life-changing experience. A native of the former Soviet Union, Creek is in the unique position of being both a recipient of an OCC shoebox and being a spokesperson for the worldwide program. “I represent OCC as a ‘full-circle speaker,’ which means I’ve been a shoebox recipient and now I’m giving back to the organization,” said Creek while in Scott City earlier this fall to speak to area volunteers. Creek was abandoned by her addiction-riddled parents when she was only four-years-old and was relocated into an orphanage where she was the victim of frequent abuse. At the age of 10, the orphanage was visited by a missionary group which delivered OCC shoeboxes to the approximately 135 children living there. Every child between the ages of six and 18 received the gift. “It meant a lot to every child in the school and it was very exciting for me, personally,” says Creek, 27, now living in Pullman, Wash. “It brought a lot of hope and joy.” The boxes contained a variety of school supplies, hygiene items and toys “that we’d never seen before or had ever dreamed we could hope for,” she says. “I got hair clips which were something I’d never owned before. They meant so much to me,” she says. “I still have them to this day.” Creek said that, as a youngster who had grown up with very little, it was difficult to comprehend receiving gifts from people she had never met. “There’s something about people giving without expecting anything in return,” she said. “People gave gifts for the simple reason that they wanted us to know we were loved . . . by God.” She refers to the people who donate and deliver the OCC shoeboxes as the “hands and feet of the Lord.” “That’s huge for children who are questioning whether or not they are

loved,” says Creek. When the shoeboxes were being distributed, the missionaries explained that they represented “a bigger gift, which is a relationship with Jesus Christ.” At the time, Creek said she didn’t know about Jesus. “I’ve known of God and that there was a creator, but I didn’t know that he wanted something to do with me,” says Creek. She decided to pray for the first time. “I grabbed a handful of leaves and threw them into the air and asked that they blow away to the left to confirm that God hears me,” she recalls. “I’d never prayed before, so I didn’t know how to go about it. I just wanted to make sure He hears me. “So, of course, God in His grace allowed the leaves to blow away to the left, so then I felt confident to go on with my prayer.” Her single biggest hope at the time was to be adopted. Creek asked that she and her older sister, Katya, be “adopted together into a Christian family so we could get to learn more about Him.” Two years later, in 2002, that prayer was answered when Irina and Katya were adopted by a family in South Carolina. It was while attending their local church that Creek saw OCC shoeboxes being prepared by volunteers and then learned about the worldwide organization. One day, while dropping off shoeboxes at the church, she shared her story with several volunteers and she was asked to join the OCC team, which she has been a member of for several years. “You know the saying, ‘it’s much more better to

give than to receive.’ I think that’s so true,” she says. “As wonderful as it is to receive, especially when you don’t have a whole lot, to give to oth-

ers, there’s nothing greater than that. “It’s a gift that continues to give through me and my family.” It’s ironic that the very

thing which changed Creek’s life couldn’t happen in Russia today. The country is closing its doors to outside religions and OCC. “My husband and I visited the orphanage last summer and we gave a gift to every child,” says Creek. “Because I’m still a Russian citizen, they allowed me into the country.” They remained at the orphanage for three weeks. “After I got back, Russia passed a law making the sharing of faith illegal,” she says. “It’s shocking that, today, we would take such a step back-

wards. It’s really upsetting.” It prohibits the sharing of any faith, not just Christianity, she says. The only religion recognized in the country is the Russian Orthodox Church. While disappointed at the changes in her native country, Creek remains an active spokeswoman for OCC and the hope that it provides millions of children worldwide. “My life has changed so dramatically, and it began with a simple shoebox with notebooks and stickers,” she says. “It’s a wonderful ministry that touched my life and it continues to do so.”

Attend the Church of Your Choice

Finding Peace I recently heard the story from the mother of a young girl who was murdered. As I listened to her story, my heart was broken for her and the family as they have had to put the pieces of their lives back together the best they could and somehow move forward from this tragedy. As the mother told the story of the event, I kept noticing that she seemed to have a very noticeable, yet nearly unexplainable, peace about her. As a parent myself, I kept trying to insert myself into her position wondering how I would be handling this conversation as she recounted the events surrounding her daughter’s murder. She then began speaking about how she had come to a place where she was able to forgive the person who had taken her daughter’s life. She had a peace that was unexplainable – no other explanation than a God-given peace. Forgiveness is something we might hear about at church or Sunday School. We will generally agree that it is a good idea and certainly a biblical teaching, but when it comes down to actually implementing forgiveness in our lives or hearing someone like this mother implementing it into her life, it now adds another dimension.

The Bible tells us that we are to forgive those who wrong us, because God forgave us through His son, Jesus Christ. In other words, the basis for us forgiving others is grounded in the truth that God forgave us! The reason forgiveness is so difficult for us to understand is because it feels as though, if we forgive the other person they are getting off the hook with no consequences. When we choose to forgive someone we are not saying that what they did is okay. In fact, forgiveness has to begin with acknowledging the hurt and accepting that the action was wrong. The Bible tells us that forgiving someone who has wronged us means that we will choose to no longer hold this wrong against that person - the wrong is still wrong, but we will no longer hold the wrong against them, because holding it against them doesn’t hurt them. It only hurts us. I want to encourage you to consider how God is speaking to you about forgiving someone who has wronged you. Are you holding it over them because you feel as if it is your place to ensure they feel some pain from you? Maybe it is time to release them to God and let Him take care of it as He sees fit!

FAFSA changes assist in applying for student aid by Nathaniel Sillin

Do you have a high school senior who is knee deep in the college admissions process? Writing essays and filling out forms can be a stressful process for students, just as covering the cost of college can be for parents. This year, the Free Application for Federal

Student Aid (FAFSA) submission period opened on October 1 - three months earlier than in previous years. That extra time to get financial information in order could be a big benefit to many families. Don’t put off completing the application, sending the FAFSA in early could increase your financial

aid package and give you more time to compare aid offers from different schools. What is FAFSA? The FAFSA determines your family’s expected contribution to the cost of higher education and serves as an application for federal financial aid, such as student loans,

work study and the Pell Grant. It’s also used by some state agencies and schools to determine aid, including merit-based awards, and some scholarships require applicants fill out the FAFSA. Current and prospective college students must complete a new FAFSA each year. Dependent children will need their

parents’ financial information to complete the form, and parents may want to work on the application alongside their child. Most students complete the FAFSA online at fafsa.ed.gov. While it can be complicated, once you have all the paperwork in order, the application could take less than 30 minutes.

New changes in tax requirements make filling out the FAFSA easier. The earlier submission period isn’t the only difference for the FAFSA this year, there’s also a change in the tax information you need to submit. You’ll now report your income based on the student’s and parents’ tax return (See FAFSA on page 19)

Kansas businesses see another decline in workman’s comp rates Kansas business owners will pay less for workers compensation insurance again in 2017, the second consecutive year for a decrease. This means businesses will pay less to cover the cost of medical claims costs and lost wages for job-related injuries and deaths, and to help fund workplace safety and health programs. Many of the approximately 65,000 Kansas businesses that pay workers compensation insurance will be affected by the decreases. The 2017 rate filing for the workers compensation rate shows a decrease of 8.4 percent in the voluntary base rate and a decrease of 7.8 percent

Adding together the rate decreases Kansas business owners saw in 2016, over a two-year period, the rates will have dropped 20 percent in the voluntary base rate and 18 percent in the assigned risk rate.

Risk Plan, a state organization for those businesses who are unable to obtain coverage in the competitive market. In the voluntary market, there was a 7.2 percent drop in experience (the number of claims filed for the three most recent policy years), and a two percent drop in medical and indemnity trends. Increases in benefits, and loss adjustment expense made the total an 8.4 percent overall decrease. In Kansas, 65 percent of workers compensation benefit distribution goes to pay medical claims, and 35 percent goes to indemnity claims, according to statistics from the National Council on

Compensations Insurance, Inc. (NCCI). The 2017 NCCI filing applies to all insurance carriers writing workers compensation policies for businesses in the state. The new filings take effect Jan. 1. It’s important to remember that the decreases are only an average. That means that an individual employer may see a larger decrease, no change in their rates, or an increase, depending on the employer’s own industry, claims experience and payroll. But, many businesses will see a positive outcome because of the decrease. It’s a win-win for both businesses and potential employees.

Welfare changes forgotten in election year Andy Marso Kansas Health Institute

For Ashlyn Harcrow, the sound of the train whistle brings up all kinds of thoughts she’d like to avoid. Harcrow, 24, has been living at the Topeka Rescue Mission since July. The nonprofit homeless shelter has helped her stabilize as she recovers from domestic violence and tries to improve her mental health amid posttraumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety. But, the mission is right next to the tracks.

As trains rumble through north Topeka, they remind Harcrow that she’s thought about using those tracks to take her own life. Harcrow would like to leave the mission and get her own place. But, it’s a financial impossibility until she gets her mental health on track so she can return to the workforce. She recently signed up for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which is commonly called food stamps. But, she doesn’t qualify for any cash assistance that could help pay rent on an apartment

School complaints shouldn’t be ignored by the American Counseling Association

Most children will occasionally complain about school. Every student has days when things don’t go quite right. But, when complaints are frequent, and more than just the “I don’t like school,” or “Math is too hard,” it may be time to listen more carefully. There are a number of ways in which a child may be trying to express deeper problems and that he or she needs some help. Children find it hard to say “I’m confused,” or “I feel inadequate.” Preteens and teenagers especially may have trouble admitting that they’re struggling. Instead of saying, “I need help with my schoolwork,” they say, “I hate school” or “My teacher is out to get me.” These comments, when frequent, and when combined with other behaviors, are often an indicator that serious school-related problems may exist. Such behaviors may be your child being reluctant to discuss school and suddenly exhibiting a lack of motivation or confidence. He or she may be angry and hostile in regard to homework and studying, or very defensive or afraid in regard to criticism. A child may start to be withdrawn, avoiding any school-related questions and perhaps act selfcondemning by saying things like “I’m stupid” or “I just can’t do it.” When these signs are combined with declining or failing grades, it’s a red flag that prompt action is needed. Ignoring the problem can affect a child’s total well-being as self-esteem declines and negative behaviors may begin to increase. A first step is to let your child know you understand and empathize with the difficulties being faced. Try talking about your own school struggles, offering academic assistance and complimenting cooperation and progress in order to rebuild confidence. If you find you can’t effectively assist with homework or studying, and many parents can’t, (See SCHOOL on page 21)

When Brownback took office in January 2011, almost 39,000 Kansans received TANF, according to the Kansas Department for Children and Families, which administers the program. By September 2016, that number had fallen nearly 70 percent, to about 12,000.

or transportation to make sure she gets to her appointments at Valeo Behavioral Health Care. “Since I don’t have any children or anything, I can’t get cash,” Harcrow said. In Kansas, qualifying for welfare is hard - and it’s getting harder. The state has no cash assistance program of its own, and the Legislature

passed new restrictions on a federal program called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF, for the second year in a row. The new restrictions include stricter lifetime limits on benefits that will cause hundreds of families to lose their assistance on Jan. 1, 2017. Gov. Sam Brownback and conservative Repub-

licans in the Legislature who approved the law said it’s part of a larger strategy to move government away from cash assistance and toward employment help - with the governor frequently saying the best form of welfare is a goodpaying job. U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan, a former Brownback aide, is pushing that philosophy at the federal level, and other Republican-led states are enacting similar TANF restrictions. In a memo to fellow Republicans sent in February, Kansas Senate Ma-

jority Leader Terry Bruce called tightening welfare restrictions a political winner for the party. But, Bruce was ousted in the August primary election that saw a number of conservatives fall to more moderate challengers, and neither party has made anti-poverty programs much of an issue in general election campaigns. The political discussion has shifted from the individual budgets of struggling Kansans to the state’s ongoing budget crisis. (See WELFARE on page 21)

Colorado voters reject single-payer health initiative Give okay to life-ending medication Shefali Luthra Kaiser Health News

It’s been a tumultuous presidential campaign, with the outcome billed as a “change” election and health care high on the to-do list. On the state level, voters’ decisions on a slew of state ballot initiatives add this focus with action on a range of hot-button health care issues - from efforts to

control drug costs and expand access to care to a variety of public health measures. Colorado voters rejected a plan to devise a single-payer health system, potentially halting its momentum. Colorado’s Amendment 69 would have largely replaced the existing private or employer-provided health coverage in the state with a single-payer model that would coexist with other forms of government insurance such as Medicare. Eighty percent of Colorado voters were against it.

The initiative had attracted widespread - and well-funded - opposition and never received backing from Colorado’s Democratic or Republican establishment. It would have been funded by a 10 percent payroll tax that would garner an estimated $25 billion, but independent analysis suggested that amount wouldn’t be enough to cover operating expenses. The program was projected to have a $38 billion budget in its first year. Amendment 69’s defeat makes single-payer through a state refer-

endum less likely, said Gerard Anderson, a professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. He thinks future attempts might focus on something like a government-funded public option. “What states are learning is that the financing for single-payer is just exceedingly difficult,” Anderson said. “Singlepayer would be cheaper in the long run, but it means a tax increase, and tax increases are a no-no these days.” (See REJECT on page 21)

Health care PACs put money supporters of Medicaid expansion Jim McLean Kansas Health Institute

Kansas health care organizations opened their checkbooks this campaign season to back legislative candidates who support Medicaid expansion. The Kansas Hospital Association is the biggest player. Its political action committee contributed more than $112,000 to

legislative candidates this year - $38,551 in the primary and $73,692 in the general. In past elections KHA, like many organizations, spread its contributions fairly evenly, backing incumbents of both parties regardless of their positions on issues. But, it abandoned that strategy this year by giving mainly to candidates who pub-

licly support expansion even if that meant backing challengers over longtime incumbents. “We looked at the races that we thought were important to our members and our issues and supported what we considered the health carefriendly candidates,” said Tom Bell, KHA president and CEO, after several moderate Republican

challengers supported by the hospital PAC defeated conservative incumbents in the Aug. 2 primary. Hospitals continued that strategy in the general election. The hospital association has been the biggest proponent of expanding eligibility for KanCare, the state’s privatized Medicaid program, contending that (See EXPANSION on page 21)

Welfare Welfare Rolls Fall When Brownback took office in January 2011, almost 39,000 Kansans received TANF, according to the Kansas Department for Children and Families, which administers the program. By September 2016, that number had fallen nearly 70 percent, to about 12,000: 3,000 adults and 9,000 children who represent about 0.4 percent of the state’s population. The average TANF benefit for each family is about $260 a month. Brownback’s administration has spearheaded a number of TANF restrictions that he said are aimed at breaking “cycles of dependency” on government programs and

consider a qualified tutor to help overcome the academic problems. You should also talk with your child’s school counselor. He or she will have seen similar situations and will have the training and experience to offer assistance on how best to help your child. They may even have alternative explanations, from the school’s perspective, on why your child is struggling. School can and should be a positive and enjoyable experience for your student. Being alert for when a child is asking for help, even though indirectly, can bring not only better academic success, but a happier, better balanced child.

Colorado voters approved Proposition 106, which allows people with a prognosis of death within six months, now have the option to seek a prescription for lifeending medication. Two doctors have to assess the patient, and only legal adults are eligible for the self-administered drugs. The law elicited backlash from the Catholic Church and some disability rights advocates. Colorado now joins states such as Oregon, Washington, Vermont, Montana and California with such laws.

encouraging work instead. That includes rolling back the lifetime limits, from 48 months to 36 months in 2016 and from 36 months to 24 months in 2017. Last year’s bill resulted in about 200 families losing their cash assistance on Jan. 1, 2016. DCF estimates as many as 424 families, including 763 children, will lose their benefits when the new limits start in January 2017. Barry Feaker, the executive director of the Topeka Rescue Mission, said it’s a relatively small number compared to the state’s total population, but for those families, losing TANF could hinder their ability to climb out

Expansion the additional federal money it would bring to the state is critical to the survival of hospitals struggling to deal with cuts in Medicare reimbursements that Congress intended to be offset by increased Medicaid payments. To date, the decision by Gov. Sam Brownback and Republican legislative leaders to reject expansion has cost the state more than $1.5 billion in Medicaid funding, according to a running calculation on the KHA website. Brownback and legisla-

of poverty. “There have been individuals who have really seen that as an opportunity to use it to be able to move up, absolutely,” Feaker said. “Equally we’ve had people who don’t know how to move up, that’s the bigger concern.” Feaker has been fighting poverty and studying its causes for 30 years as the leader of the rescue mission. He said a growing body of evidence suggests that generational poverty has a biological component - that children who spend their earliest years in families stressed by poverty suffer setbacks in brain development that affect them the rest of their lives. That’s why the res-

cue mission is building a $12 million “Children’s Palace” to provide day care for homeless kids age 5 and under. Feaker said the rescue mission encourages poor families to use TANF as a short-term “insurance policy” to alleviate some of their stress during tough financial times. He said from that standpoint, the state’s time limits make sense, but only when coupled with robust transitional programs to help get people into the workforce. Otherwise, he said, just kicking families off the rolls is a gamble. “If you’ve never had a successful employment situation in your life . . . what’s going to change that?” Feaker asked.

(continued from page 20)

tive opponents of expansion have said they are concerned about the federal government’s ability to meet its obligation to cover no less than 90 percent of expansion costs. In addition, they have said they are opposed to extending health care benefits to poor but “able bodied” adults until Kansans with disabilities are receiving all of the support services to which they are entitled. Currently, thousands are on waiting lists for those services. A PAC funded by mental health providers also

backed candidates who support expansion. Leaders of community mental health centers across the state have said they need the additional federal funds expansion would generate to offset the more than $30 million in state budget cuts they’ve absorbed in the past year. “Medicaid expansion would be the single biggest boon to the mental health system,” said Rick Cagan, director of the Kansas chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

“Fifty percent of individuals - adults and kids with serious mental health conditions are not in treatment and certainly lack of insurance is one of the reasons why.” Expansion advocates are optimistic that the general election results will provide them enough votes to pass an expansion plan in the 2017 legislative session. And they’re hoping that once that becomes apparent, Brownback will work with them to craft a plan that he also can support.

KSU extends deadline for freshman enrollment Administrators at Kansas State University have extended the admission and scholarship priority deadline for the fall 2017 semester to Dec. 15 for incoming freshmen students. “We have extended the priority deadline for many reasons,” said Larry Moeder, director of admissions. “Many future students and families told us that more time for the application would be helpful, especially since there have been changes to the FAFSA process and several college fairs are scheduled later this year than in previous years.” Changes to the FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, allowed families to complete the process earlier, which Moeder said is a great improvement. The FAFSA opened on Oct 1. Families are encouraged to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible. “The FAFSA is not required at Kansas State for admission or scholarship decisions,” Moeder said. “The deadline extension will allow us to avoid missing any students who may have misunderstood these overlapping time lines. We want to give as many students as possible full scholarship consideration.” The university also has increased scholarship offerings for future outof-state freshmen. Up to $48,000 in scholarships are available. Future students are encouraged to review scholarship criteria and apply on or before the Dec. 15 deadline for consideration.

Yet, with five minutes remaining in the game the Beavers were Holcomb 34 just one play away Scott City 20 from pulling off an upset of the defending state champion Holcomb Longhorns. Instead, interceptions on Scott City’s final three possessions saw their season end with a 34-20 loss in regional action for the second consecutive season. “For no more success than we had offensively, we were pretty fortunate to still have a chance to win late in the game,” says head coach Jim Turner. It was a frustrating night for the coaches and players, but it was also a night that saw huge, gamechanging plays being made by both teams. In the end, when the Beavers needed the defense to make one final stand, the unit instead gave up perhaps the biggest play of the game. “We needed a defensive stop and (See LINE on page 25)

Dighton (11-0) scored on their first - and only - 10 possessions of the game while limiting the Chase Kats to just 60 yards of total offense in the first half. The Lingg-Foos combination was unstoppable, starting with a 22 yard completion on the first play of the game and ending with a PAT pass on the game’s final play that brought the 45-point mercy rule into effect. “Having Tyler and Dylan is one heck of a luxury. It makes things easier for me,” said head coach Ken Simon.

It’s great to see a hunting plan fall into place In the predawn darkness I wound my way along the ranch driveway, then through several tall rows of round hay bales to an open spot which was about the highest point in the pasture. From there I’d hike over the ridge into a deep draw where I had a blind set up overlooking a pond. As I opened the truck door, coyotes began their parting serenade as they ended their night’s hunting and headed for cover to spend the day.

Outdoors in Kansas by Steve Gilliland

There were moans, howls, yips and barks as I closed the truck door quietly and stood there in the darkness soaking it all in. This was opening day of Kansas antelope rifle season, and my plan had been to sit in the blind until daybreak, then wonder farther up the draw to try and find a large group

of 20 or more I had spotted the evening before. Though now it was doubtful they were anywhere close, given the fact that the coyotes had evidently just come through that same draw. For years now, a friend of mine has gone to Canada for goose hunting each fall with several friends. Geese are so thick where they go that people come up to them and literally beg them to shoot geese on their property. I found almost the

same scenario during my antelope hunt in Western Kansas. It’s hard to find a land owner and rancher who wants them on their property. My Kansas antelope tag was for unit 2 which includes all of Wallace County and I had previously lined up three landowners around Sharon Springs who were eager to see a few disappear. This ranch was seven miles north of Sharon Springs and consisted of the usual deep, bar-

ren draws, high flat bluffs, barbed wire fences, stock tanks and windmills that are a common denominator to the area. I met with a local landowner who had, for years, been an avid antelope hunter, but now hunts only deer. He taught me a few of the finer points of Kansas antelope hunting. It seems antelope group together for the winter in larger groups like turkeys do in my neck of the woods. I saw a group numbering more than 20

and a smaller group of 10 or less within a two mile radius of the property I was on that first morning. While I freaked at the thought of a 200 yard shot to harvest one, he chuckled and told me most local hunters sight in their rifles at 300, and shots of 400 yards are not unusual. He also warned me that, while hunting from blinds might work some on dry years, this was not a dry year, and that I should concentrate on spotting (See PLAN on page 28)

instead we give up a 94 yard run,” he said, referring to the fourth quarter touchdown by Holcomb senior Dillon Williams that extended their lead to 14 points. It was part of a fourth quarter offensive show that saw the two teams roll up 229 yards of offense and put three touchdowns on the scoreboard in the span of just 43 seconds. SC Offense Stalled A Scott City offense that had been averaging 46 points and 398 yards per game during their seven game win streak had managed to score just seven points on 82 yards of total offense through the first three quarters on Friday night. Half of those yards came on a 41 yard touchdown run by sophomore fullback Wyatt Hayes in the second period that cut the deficit to 14-7. Given that the Beavers had given up a pair of touchdowns and 118 yards of offense on Holcomb’s first six offensive plays, it seemed pretty remarkable that the Beavers still found themselves in position to get a win in the fourth quarter. “I don’t think we matched their intensity,” said offensive coordinator Brian Gentry, whose unit never could find any rhythm against a Longhorn defense that brought pressure throughout the night. “They were able to get the first shot on us and once they had the 14 point lead we were on our heels. “Our line has done such a good job of being more physical and driving people off the ball and, for whatever reason, it didn’t happen tonight.” Outside of the touchdown run by Hayes, the Beavers were limited to just 13 yards rushing for the game and they added just 30 yards passing through the first three periods. Offensive lightning struck not just once, but twice, for SCHS early in the fourth quarter for SCHS. Offense Comes to Life Following a punt by Holcomb to open the final period, the Beavers took possession at their 36 yard line. After an incomplete pass, quarterback Bo Hess then aired a deep ball to runningback Jarret Jurgens who was on a fly pattern down the middle of the field. While in full stride, Jurgens made a fingertip catch between two defenders at the 27 and raced into the end zone to give the Beavers and their fans life. “We saw the opportunity for a big play because their outside linebacker kept creeping up,” says Gentry. “As long as you

can look off the safety the way Bo did, that gives you a shot to create a little separation.” The PAT kick was blocked, but SCHS had cut the lead to 20-13. Scott City then caught a break on the following kickoff when miscommunication by the Holcomb deep backs saw them forced to recover the ball at their six yard line. Williams, who had been fairly well contained by the Beavers, except for a 38 yard touchdown run in the opening period, then weaved his way through the defense for a 94 yard dash. “It wasn’t that he ran that fast or was even running over people. It was very poor tackling,” says Turner. “It was pretty discouraging. With a defensive stop we had a great chance to get the ball back with good field position and a chance to tie the game. Instead we give up a huge run. That took a lot out of us.” Not that the offensive show was over just yet. On Scott City’s next play following the kickoff, Hess rolled to his right and then made a deep pass to his left where senior wideout Justin Faurot had slipped behind the defense and was able to complete a 71 yard touchdown. “We needed to create something and their defense gave us the opportunity, but we also made a couple of great plays,” says Gentry. “The catch by Jarret was probably the greatest catch we’ve seen all year.” With 10:53 remaining in the game the Beavers trailed 27-20 and again the pressure fell on their defense.

How they scored: 1st Quarter: Hol: Trey Gilbert to Brandon Stegman, 69 yds. (kick good). 9:49 Hol: Dillon Williams, 38 yds. (kick good). 7:09 2nd Quarter: SC: Wyatt Hayes, 41 yds. (Gus Gonzales kick). 8:14 Hol: Stegman, 11 yds. (kick fail). :26 4th Quarter: SC: Bo Hess to Jarret Jurgens, 64 yds. (Gonzales kick). 11:35 Hol: Williams, 94 yds. (kick good). 11:10 SC: Hess to Justin Faurot, 71 yds. (Gonzales kick). 10:53 Hol: Williams, 6 yds. (kick good). 4:06

The defense, however, didn’t have an answer for a Holcomb running attack that methodically moved down the field. They covered 70 yards in just 10 plays but, more importantly, had taken nearly six minutes off the clock when a bad exchange between quarterback Trey Gilbert and Williams resulted in a fumble that was recovered by Scott City at their own eight yard line with 5:10 still remaining in the game. Scott City’s hopes for a winning touchdown ended moments later with an interception that gave the Longhorns possession at the 11 yard line. Two plays later, Williams added a six yard scoring run that put the game out of reach with 4:06 to play. The Beavers did make one final bid to get on the scoreboard again, but a drive into Holcomb territory ended with an interception at the Longhorn 13 yard line.

first two possessions of the game set the tone and forced the Beavers to dig themselves out of a hole the remainder of the night. “It was going to be important for one of these two teams to get off to a good start and establish some momentum,” noted Turner. “Unfortunately, that wasn’t us. They were the more physical team up front, which was surprising given the way we’ve been playing the last few games. “After giving up those two quick touchdowns, I felt like the boys settled in and played fairly well defensively.” Turner was particularly pleased with their ability to shut down the passing attack. Outside of a 69 yard pass play on the fourth play of the game, the Longhorns added just 17 more passing yards the remainder of the night. “It was blown coverage in trips formation,” Turner said of the touchdown pass. Gilbert finished the night just 3-of-9 passing and had two interceptions - one of those leading to Scott City’s second quarter touchdown.

Defense Provides Spark With the offense managing just 25 total yards on Scott City’s first four possessions, the Beavers turned to their defense to provide a needed spark. Junior safety Jordan Horn picked off a pass at the 39 yard line and returned it 11 yards to midfield. On third-and-one, Hayes burst through the right side of the line for a touchdown Two Early Scores Touchdowns on Holcomb’s with 8:14 left in the half.

“That was a situation where the defense bit on the motion and we blocked it well,” says Gentry. “Unfortunately, we weren’t able to do that enough.” Scott City had just four yards of offense the rest of the half and it appeared they would have a chance to regroup, trailing by only a touchdown. However, special teams and a questionable penalty again gave the momentum back to the Longhorns. The Beavers were able to force back-to-back three-andouts by Holcomb, but Conner VanCleave’s 67 yard punt flipped field position when it pinned Scott City at their own 11 yard line with 3:59 remaining. “We had a chance to come out of that exchange with decent field position, but because we didn’t field the ball it put us in a bad spot,” Turner says. SCHS was three-and-out, but could have kept the drive alive and probably run out the clock if not for a dropped ball by a wide open receiver on third down. Scott City compounded their troubles with a 10 yard punt that gave the Longhorns excellent field position at the SCHS 23. On second-and-20, a questionable pass interference call gave Holcomb new life at the 11 yard line where Brandon Stegman scored on a touchdown run with :26 left in the half. “The interference call was very iffy and instead of third down and long they got a first down,” says Turner. “If we’re down by only a touchdown at halftime, it changes a lot of things in the second half.”

Playing not to lose mentality costs ‘Cats After Kansas State lost to Oklahoma State (43-37) last Saturday, it’s hard to explain the Wildcats’ offensive play calling in the fourth quarter. The play by calling was Mac too conserva- Stevenson tive with the coaches taking a “play not to lose” attitude. K-State’s defensive backs had a horrendous game, allowing 457 passing yards and five TDs. O-State quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 29-of-38 passes and K-State’s Jesse Ertz hit on just 12-of-18 for 87 yards. That kind of disparity won’t win games in the Big 12. Coach Bill Snyder agreed with the assessment of his pass defense, which has given up 300 yards passing in four of the last five games. “We need to improve our defense against the pass . . . my nine-year-old granddaughter knows that and I don’t have a nine-year-old granddaughter,” Snyder dryly noted. Despite the heartbreaking loss, K-State is in great shape for another bowl game, although the quality of that game may have gone down with the defeat. The offensive-pass interference call in the closing seconds of the O-State game begs some analysis: that’s a call that’s seldom made, especially in the closing seconds. Without the penalty, whether or not the Cats could have spiked the ball and run another play is open to conjecture. Regardless, it was a questionable call that wasn’t even close to the completed pass on the two-yard line. At the end of the season the Big 12 needs to review the effectiveness of its officiating crews. There have been too many mishandled situations and poor calls. It appears that numerous referees are slow trotters on the field. They’ve seen too many sunsets to put it as kindly as possible. K-State has a bye week before playing at Baylor, who lost at home to TCU 62-22. What a crazy season. Then the Wildcats close at (See CATS on page 29)

7th grade Bluejays rout K-H, 43-11 Tenacious defense and fastbreak scoring opportunities have been a reliable combination for the Scott City Middle School seventh graders and that was true again on Monday at Garden City. The Lady Bluejays ripped Kenneth-Henderson for 23 first half points and cruised to a 43-11 win. The game was over in the first six minutes as SCMS jumped out to a 13-5 lead and extended that advantage to 23-6 by halftime. Amber Latta, who finished with a game high 14 points, scored eight of those in the opening period. Brynn McCormick and Tori Ford added 11 and eight points, respectively. In “B” team action, Scott City defeated K-H, 12-7. Alivia Noll led team with six points and Ashleigh Hickert added four. Defeat Dodge City SCMS shut out Dodge City in the opening period and that early 8-0 lead proved to be the difference in a 31-21 win against Comanche on the home floor. Dodge City kept the game close, trailing only 23-17, entering the final period. The Lady Bluejays failed to capitalize at the free throw line where they were just 3-of-19. Kennedy Holstein led SCMS with 12 points, followed by Ford and Latta with six and five points, respectively. The Scott City “B” team outscored Comanche 12-0 in the second period on their way

overdue makeover

Arches being replaced at Lake Scott Beach House The historic Beach House at Lake Scott State Park is undergoing a makeover. The distinctive arches on the north side of the building have been torn down and are in the process of being rebuilt. When completed, the arches will again have a stucco finish while stucco on the north side of the building see limited repairs. The Friends of Lake Scott, which manage the Beach House, have received grants and donations totaling about $38,000 which are being used to complete the project. The goal is to raise $45,000. “The arches were in such deteriorating condition that they were probably becoming a hazard,” noted Beach House manager Larry Eberle. “The wood was in such bad shape that the stucco was

about the only thing keeping the arches attached to the building.” The Beach House was built in the 1930s and Eberle believes the original structure has changed very little over the past 80-plus years. Once the arches were demolished recently, there was some evidence of termite damage, but it’s not believed that termites are currently a problem in the historic structure. Renovation plans call for the arches to be rebuilt just as they have appeared as part of the original structure. The north side of the Beach House will have stucco replaced and repaired where needed. The arches will be completed this fall. Plans also call for the building to be sandblasted and painted in the spring. The Beach House is located on state property, but it was privately owned until 2011. Today, it is operated by the Friends

I situated myself as comfortably as possible, put my rifle on the shooting stick, watched and waited. After a time, the buck evidently felt all was well with the world, turned broadside to me and put his head down to graze. My rifle was sighted at 200 yards and I knew the distance was no less than that, so I put the scope crosshairs where they needed to be and took the shot. The entire group bounded up onto the flat ridge above, but as I watched, the buck went down just a few yards from where he had stood.

I could hardly believe this had all worked just the way it was supposed to. I don’t get emotional when I harvest an animal, but as I stood there admiring my first Kansas antelope, I believe I pumped my fist in the air and hollered something like “It really worked!” Well, yet another adventure is crossed off my bucket list, and this will officially become the most expensive meat I’ve ever put in my freezer.

them with binoculars then figuring a way to get to them unnoticed. As I sat in the blind, I was antsy to get out and start walking further up the draw, even though the coyotes had certainly spooked any other critters therein. Shortly after daybreak, three shots broke the morning silence, probably from a walk-in hunting area (WIHA) just over the ridge. I fidgeted, but sat still thinking maybe that would flush the rest of that herd down the draw toward me. Soon I could stand it no

longer and left the blind, heading up the ridge to the truck to drop off my chair before tackling a trek back down into that draw. With the binoculars I took a good look around before leaving the truck again. In the opposite direction from my blind, a small group of 9 or 10 antelope were slowly grazing their way up a short narrow draw probably a quarter mile away. If they would put up with me for 50 yards or so, I could be over a ridge and maybe work my way quietly to the lower end of the draw. I had little

hope of that working, but thought to myself “What the heck, I might as well get my first failure of the day out of the way.” I picked out a dark bare spot at the base of a hill just below them and headed for that. I lost count of the number of small ridges I crossed and the ravines I followed, but managed to stay out of the antelope’s sight. Finally I got down and crawled the last few feet to the spot I had picked out at the base of the hill. I half crouched, half knelt behind some yucca plants, and through their broad

leaves I could see the antelope ahead and slightly above me. One buck stood alone above the rest, but was at an angle that made for a bad shot that would do too much damage to him. He kept looking my direction and was on alert, but didn’t seem at all spooked. My range finder was not working from behind the plants, so I was only guessing the distance. Two does at the bottom of the group offered a perfect broadside shot, but should I take one of them or hope the buck changed his position?

Kats Whether he was lined up in a trips formation or alone in the flats, Foos was a frequent target for Lingg who was 17-of-23 for 236 yards. On the team’s opening drive, the Hornets quickly covered 55 yards to the four yard line where they were briefly stalled for no gain on three plays. On fourth-and-goal, Lingg tossed a jump ball to Foos who had inside position against the defender on an out pattern in the end zone. He was able to pull down the pass and keep a foot in-bounds for the score. Foos was on the receiving end of four more touchdown passes covering five, eight, 57 and five yards by halftime. Perhaps the most impressive catch of the day was one that didn’t go for a score. After stopping the Kats on downs at the 40 yard line, Lingg tossed a deep pass to Foos who was in single coverage along the right sideline. Foos was able to make a one-armed grab, with the ball in the bend of his elbow, as he maintained control while being forced out of bounds at the eight yard line. On the first play of the second quarter, Lingg tossed an eight yard TD pass to Foos to complete the drive. Defensive Stand Chase could sense it was in for a tough offensive game after losing 10 yards on three straight running plays during their first series. “We knew they wanted to run about 85 percent of the time and we were prepared to stop that,” said senior linebacker Lake Lewis who was back in the lineup after an ankle injury during the Hodgeman County game sidelined him for two weeks. “It felt good to be back on the field again and contribute,” said Lewis, who also plays fullback and rushed for 84 yards.

(continued from page 23)

The Hornets had some concerns about slowing down a Chase offense that had scored 92 points earlier in the week in a playoff win at Ingalls. “We have good, physical linemen and it helped having both of our starting linebackers back tonight,” said Lewis, referring to junior linebacker Max Cummins who had also missed the last two games. “We wanted it more than they did.” Junior noseguard Logan Lingg credits defensive pursuit with their success in stopping the run. “We’re a good run defense team,” he says. “We do a good job of getting lots of guys to the ball.” After losing yards on their first three running plays, when Chase got the ball back again, trailing 14-0, they failed to convert on fourth-andthree which led to another Dighton touchdown. The Kats were finally able to put together a good offensive series that took them to the Hornet five yard line. Three plays later, Chase was faced with fourth-and-goal from the 10 when sophomore safety Dalton Hoffman intercepted the ball at the one yard line. Dighton gained some breathing room with a four yard run by Lingg, followed by a 18 yard pass to Foos. On the next play, Foos again was given plenty of space in the flats where he caught a pass at the 21, spun away from a tackle and didn’t stop until reaching the end zone to finish off the 57 yard play. Dighton got the ball back again with 1:05 remaining in the half, which was all the time they needed. Starting from their own 33, Lingg kept the drive alive with a two yard keeper on fourth-and-one. He followed with completions to Foos covering eight, three and 20 yards that

Hornets “It will be tough. They’re a very physical team and we have to match that physical play if we want to come out with the win,” says senior wideout Dylan Foos. The Wildcats are led by senior quarterback Levi Johnson who was limited to just 9-of-21 pass-

put the ball at the Chase five yard line with time for one more play. On the final play of the half, Lingg again found Foos four yards deep in the end zone for the touchdown to make it a 36-0 game. Turn to Running Attack The defense again came up with a big play when it stopped Chase inches short of a first down on third-and-one at the Dighton 39. The Hornets then went to their ground game, led by Lewis who had three carries for 22 yards and a

six yard reception to the four yard line. A four yard pass from Lingg to Foos finished off the nearly three minute drive. “After missing a couple of games it was great

to have (Lewis) back on the field again,” said Simon. “He still had a little trouble with sideto-side movement, but in terms of running downhill he looked pretty good.”

Dighton’s only defensive breakdown came on the following series when they had quarterback Justin Oberle wrapped up for a loss, only to see him squirt loose for a 63 yard run. That set up a five yard scoring pass from Oberle to Kebren Julian. The touchdown only delayed the inevitable as Dighton followed with a six play drive that covered 56 yards. Lewis handled most of the running duties with 30 yards on just three carries while Lingg capped the drive with a 10 yard keeper.

ing for 90 yards and a pair of touchdowns the first time these teams met. However, he can also be a running threat, carrying the ball 19 times for another 59 yards in that game. “They primarily like to run the ball, but we have to respect Johnson’s abil-

ity to throw,” says head coach Ken Simon. “It will be tough beating them twice, but I like that we have them coming to our place.” While the Hornets did a pretty effective job of bottling up Johnson, the Wildcats also had some success slowing down

the Dighton juggernaut of quarterback Tyler Lingg and Foos. Lingg was 13-of-21 for 158 yards and four touchdowns while Foos was limited to seven receptions and 90 yards. In that game, sophomore receiver David Cramer stepped up and

had three catches for 51 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Dighton relied a lot more on their running attack in that game with 45 carries for 150 yards. Fullback Lake Lewis had 19 carries for 54 yards and Lingg added 38 yards on 14 carries.

In the weeks since, the Hornets have become a much more pass-oriented offense. “At the start of the season I felt we could have a pretty balanced offense,” Lingg says. “But, over the season we’ve figured out what works for us and we’ve gone with it.”

tips for preparing your holiday turkey Whether you’re tackling a Thanksgiving turkey for the first or hundredth time, these tips will ensure your big bird is the best it can be. 1) Thawing a frozen turkey requires patience. The safest method is to thaw turkey in the refrigerator. Be sure to plan ahead. It takes approximately 4-5 days for a 20-pound turkey to fully defrost. 2) For crisper skin, unwrap the turkey the day before roasting and leave it uncovered in the refrigerator overnight. 3) Cooking times will differ depending on whether your bird was purchased fresh or frozen. Plan on 20 minutes per pound in a 350 degree oven for a defrosted turkey and 10 to 15 minutes per pound for fresh. 4) A turkey will cook more evenly if it is not densely stuffed. Consider adding flavor by loosely filling the cavity with aromatic vegetables - carrots, celery, onion or garlic work nicely - or by carefully tucking fresh herbs underneath the breast skin. For the stuffing lovers, cook the dressing in a casserole dish on the side. 5) Before roasting, coat the outside of the turkey with vegetable or olive oil, season with salt and pepper and tightly cover the breast with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning (it will be removed in step 7). 6) Don’t be a peeping Tom (no pun intended)! Once you get the turkey in the oven, resist the temptation to open the oven door and admire your handiwork. When the oven temperature fluctuates, you’re only increasing the likelihood of a dry bird. About 45 minutes before you think the turkey is done, remove the foil from the breast to allow it to brown. 7) Remove the turkey from the oven and use an instant-read thermometer to determine tempera-

Roasted Thanksgiving Turkey

Total time: 25 hours, 10 minutes Prep time: 10 minutes Inactive: 20 hours Cook: 5 hours Ingredients 2 gallons 2 cups 1-1/2 cups 2 cups 5 5 4 tablespoons 2 tablespoons 3 1 (20-pound) 1-1/2 sticks 3 tablespoons 3 tablespoons

water apple juice kosher salt brown sugar cloves garlic, crushed bay leaves black peppercorns dried rosemary oranges, peeled, white pith removed, skin roughly chopped fresh turkey softened butter minced fresh rosemary leaves chopped orange zest

Directions Combine the water, apple juice, salt, sugar, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, dried rosemary, and orange peel in a large pot and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat immediately, cover, and allow mixture to come to room temperature. Cool mixture in the fridge until you’re ready. To brine the turkey, remove the turkey from wrapper, remove interior bags (set aside; refrigerate), and rinse turkey thoroughly under cool water. Place the turkey into a plastic brining bag or a very large pot. Pour the cooled brine mixture over the top, adding extra cold water if you need more to completely cover the turkey. Seal the bag or cover the pot and allow the turkey to brine in the refrigerator for 16 to 24 hours before roasting. Before roasting, remove the turkey from brine and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Then soak in a sink full of fresh water for 15 to 20 minutes. Pat dry. Discard brine. (This soaking process will decrease the likelihood of too-salty gravy). Preheat the oven 275 degrees. Truss the bird and place it breast side up on a rack in a large roasting pan. Cover the turkey tightly with heavy-duty foil. Make sure it’s entirely covered (cover over the bottom edges of the pan). Place in the oven and roast for about 10 minutes per pound (a 20 pound turkey will roast for about 3-1/2 hours). Remove the turkey from the oven and increase the temperature to 375 degrees. Remove the aluminum foil and set aside. Mix the softened butter with the rosemary and orange zest and rub all over the skin of the turkey, covering every single inch of the skin. Insert a meat thermometer into the thigh, near the hip joint. Place the turkey, uncovered, back into the oven. Continue roasting the turkey, basting with butter every 30 minutes, until the thermometer registers 170 degrees and until the juices are no longer pink. Remove from the oven and cover with foil until you are ready to carve and serve. Reserve pan juices to make gravy. Cook’s Note: This is enough for a 20 pound fresh turkey. You can decrease the quantity for a smaller bird.

ture; it should read 165 degrees at the thigh when it’s done. If you stuff your turkey, check the internal temperature of the stuffing as well; it should be at least 165 degrees. 8) Tent the bird with foil and let rest for about 25 minutes

before carving. If you need more time to make gravy, heat up side dishes, etc., you can let the turkey set for up to an hour without losing too much heat. 9) Remember to carve your turkey with a very sharp or electric knife.

Feds hit brakes on loans to big farms Potential lawsuit looms over dairy, livestock farms The Obama administration is slow-walking the credit it gives to large dairy and livestock farms out of fear that it could get slapped with another big environmental lawsuit. Big farms in the South,

Midwest and Northeast are struggling to get the financing they need because of the slowdown, with applications for loan guarantees languishing for more than 1-1/2 years in some cases, lenders and state farm groups say. The foot-dragging stems from a 2013 lawsuit that the environmental law nonprofit Earthjustice filed against the admin-

ag briefs

BCI offers resources for feed directive With a Jan. 1 deadline looming, veterinarians and producers now have more resources available to help them comply with the Veterinary Feed Directive being issued by the Food and Drug Administration. In response to increasing demand, the Beef Cattle Institute at Kansas State University developed additional free educational modules to complement its original set of modules released earlier this year. The new modules are pertinent to separate sectors of the beef industry. The institute has developed a new website, VFDInfo.org, which houses modules specific to producers, feed mill operators, veterinarians and distributors. Experts from each sector address concerns and questions to ease the transition under new regulations. The website has a sample VFD form as well as additional resources to guide users through any additional questions. “These changes will be significant for the livestock and feed industry, and we are eager to provide guidance as much as possible,” says Ken Bowers, director of dairy and feed safety with the Kansas Department of Agriculture. “Collaboration between these organizations has been valuable as we work to reach all producers, veterinarians and feed mills. The website is a great resource.”

Ballots mailed for committee election in LMA 3

The USDA has mailed ballots to eligible farmers and ranchers for the Farm Service Agency (FSA) County Committee elections. Producers must return ballots to their FSA office by Dec. 5. The Scott County election is held in Local Administrative Area No. 3, located in the southern part of Scott County. Producers elected to these committees played a role in local agricultural decisions. In Scott County the committee has three elected members who serve a three-year term of office. One-third of county committee seats are up for election each year. They help FSA make decisions on its commodity support programs; conservation programs; indemnity and disaster programs; emergency programs and eligibility. In addition to these committee members the committee has an advisor. Farmers and ranchers in Scott County voting area LAA No. 3 should begin receiving their ballots the week of Nov. 9.

istration over loans it guaranteed for farmers to build a concentrated animal feeding operation in northern Arkansas. The litigation has forced the Small Business Administration to reevaluate the way it vets the loan applications to include an assessment of the environmental impact of construction, causing major delays in approvals.

The USDA’s Farm Service Agency, too, is taking longer to approve guaranteed farm loans for new construction due to stricter environmental scrutiny, lenders say, although an agency spokesman said its environmental assessment process hasn’t changed as a result of the lawsuit, with the exception of that one Arkansas case.

The backlog of loan applications in Arkansas, New York, Wisconsin and other dairy and meatproducing states is hurting the already sluggish rural economy, lawmakers say, and comes as the agriculture industry faces increasing pressure from the federal government, environmental groups and the public to reduce the impact of farming on

land, water and climate. “This lack of clarity from the SBA is effectively rendering a potentially valuable economic development tool unavailable to dairy operations,” costing about $100 million in potential agribusiness investment in Wisconsin, the state’s congressional delegation said in a letter this summer asking the (See LOANS on page 35)

U.S. cattle herd growth slows Little impact, so far, from record corn harvest Demand for corn to fatten up U.S. cattle is likely to climb in the short term, as ranchers send more breeding females to feedlots to reduce the number of calves coming into supply. But, next year, corn consumption could decline as there will be fewer cattle as a result of the current heifer cull.

Ranchers are rushing to reduce their herds as perpound prices for cattle hover near five-year lows, pressured by plentiful supplies of pork and chicken. The number of heifers heading to commercial feeding pens rose 4 percent in the quarter ended Sept. 30 from a year ago, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. More could be on their way as prices stay low and calves are weaned, analysts said. “I would anticipate that they (ranchers) are going to cut their herds again because

of the financial situation,” said South Dakota feedlot operator Herman Schumacher. “It’s been a wreck.” Cattle in feedlots are typically fattened to about 1,300 lbs from 800 lbs on arrival, munching through about 7 pounds of feed for every pound of weight gain. “Feedlots will initially use more grain because they’ll have more animals as a stopoff before heading to the packing plants,” said John Ginzel, analyst with Chicago-based Linn Group. This would further depress beef prices, he

added. The USDA forecasts corn use for feed will hit 5.7 million bushels in the year that began Sept. 1, up from 5.2 million in the previous period. That could underpin corn prices, currently languishing near two-year lows around $3.50 per bushel for December delivery on the Chicago Board of Trade. But, reducing the number of heifers will mean fewer calves, which should trim demand for corn beginning in late 2017, given it takes roughly (See CATTLE on page 35)

A good time to plan a windbreak W i t h the holiday season just around the corner, now is the time to sit down and design that windbreak you want to plant next spring. Windbreaks are a long term investment. They should be carefully designed to insure that the desired benefits are obtained. Farmsteads, livestock pens and fields are the most common areas needing protection. Once you decide what needs protection, prepare a sketch of the area. Include buildings, roads, gardens, corrals, fields and utility lines. Since wind eddies will form around the ends of a

windbreak, it should extend at least 100 feet beyond the area to be protected. Any gaps will funnel the wind, eliminating much of the windbreak’s effectiveness, so driveways should be located around the ends of the windbreak. If a driveway must go through the windbreak, angle it so that the gap will be perpendicular to the prevailing wind. Windbreaks often look better if they follow the natural contour, especially if they can parallel other features. Windbreaks do not have to be planted in straight east-west or north-south rows, but they should be generally perpendicular to the prevailing wind. Do not plant a windbreak

where it will block vision at road intersections. Also avoid planting a windbreak closer than 150 feet north or west and 60 feet south of a road because snow may drift across the road. Avoid planting on old feedlots or barnyard drainage areas. Many trees and shrubs will not grow in these areas. It is wise not to use the same species of plants in every windbreak row. Diversification will increase its insect and disease resistance. Different species should not be alternated or mixed within a row. One species or another will usually grow faster and will eventually suppress the growth of the slower growing plants. Also, when the shorter lived plants die, gaps will be created

in the windbreak. A list of trees and shrubs suitable for windbreaks in Scott County is available at the Extension office. These plants are provided at low cost by the Kansas Forestry Service.

Loans agency to fix the situation. The lawmakers added that while they understand the need to protect natural resources, the SBA must outline its expectations on how loan applicants can comply with federal regulations. The agency asserts that it continues to make loans to farmers and ranchers, but the process “may take a bit longer now as we continue to thoroughly review and ensure environmental compliance,” spokesman Terry Sutherland said. Because major farm construction projects are capital intensive and often cost more than the $1.39 million cap FSA places on guaranteed loans, farmers can use SBA programs to make up the difference. Commercial and Farm Credit System bankers often seek these government-backed loans to reduce their risk and offer farmers long-term loans at lower fixed rates. Lawsuits Filed Earthjustice, representing four Arkansas conservation groups, sued the SBA and FSA for guaranteeing $3.6 million in loans to a Cargill contract farm. The suit argued the SBA violated both the National Environmental Policy and Endangered Species acts by not assessing the environmental impact of C&H Hog

Farms building housing for 6500-swine in Mount Judea. The complaint also said the FSA’s evaluation was flawed because, for example, it didn’t mention the Buffalo National River and its tributary, Big Creek, even though nine fields where manure is spread border the tributary. A federal judge agreed, ordering the agencies to conduct a joint environmental assessment. Although the administration again found that the hog farm would have “no significant impact” on the environment, the lawsuit forced the SBA to update its more than 30-year-old environmental policy, which the agency hadn’t been applying to loans, to determine what environmental evaluations should entail. In a letter to Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wisc.) in August, the SBA said it was reviewing its mandate under NEPA and “giving special attention to large dollar loans” to livestock operations, especially those of $2 million or more. The complexity of the NEPA process means any number of issues can delay a project, such as the need for numerous permits for things like animal waste disposal, SBA Associate General Counsel Eric Benderson said.

In addition, Benderson said reviews of farm expansion proposals need to consider the impact on wetlands and endangered species, requiring another layer of sign-off by the Fish and Wildlife Service. The American Bankers Association, in letters to both the SBA and FSA this month, characterized the situation as a moratorium on lending to livestock facilities based on feedback from its members. Both the SBA and FSA insist there is no moratorium on loan guarantees and they continue to finance animal agriculture. They also denied that WOTUS litigation is affecting lending activity. In a letter to Steve Apodaca, ABA’s senior vice president of agricultural and rural banking, FSA Administrator Val Dolcini said “it is unfortunate that some of our lender partners have received inaccurate information,” adding that FSA’s normal environmental compliance process can take time, but it should not be confused with a moratorium. He also noted that the agency’s guaranteed loan activity reached an alltime high in fiscal 2016, totaling nearly $4 billion dollars, although that figure reflects financing for all types of farm operations, not just the livestock sector.
