a note from the schools Eudora is a community with a long tradition of supporting public schools. As the community has grown over the years, so has the success of our teachers and students. And today, I hear from families who regularly tell me they chose to move to Eudora because they wanted small-town quality of life, coupled with outstanding schools. There are a number of things that make our schools special, including the small-town advantages of a close-knit community, a dedicated board of education and a team of teachers and staff that are second to none. But what I believe truly sets us apart are our efforts to prepare our students for college and career with a clear focus on the growth, development and success of the whole child. Our graduates must be ready for whatever comes next: college or career and life as a young adult. Students should, of course, be proficient in math, reading, social studies and science. They must have taken opportunities to explore a range of interests, including technical education courses, art, music and extracurricular activities. But most importantly, and throughout all of these experiences, a graduate must possess such critical learning skills as perseverance, teamwork, problem solving and critical thinking. Preparing students for college and career begins years before graduation. In Eudora Schools, our students learn the social and emotional skills that are fundamental to all other learning and growth beginning in the earliest grades, and continuing through high school. Strategies to manage emotions, resolve conflict, control impulses, communicate with respect and make good choices–these critical skills translate to learning in the classroom and success in life. I am exceedingly proud of Eudora Schools and our service to the students and families in Eudora. Thank you for your support and Cardinal Pride! Sincerely, Don Grosdidier Superintendent of Schools

Gene’s Heartland Foods Lance Handley knows well the cost of a gallon of milk. After all, Handley, father of three growing boys and the store manager of Gene’s Heartland Foods, buys a gallon every day. “It gets expensive,” he says, then proudly smiles. “When you compare us to Dillons and Hy-Vee, we can beat Dillons and Hy-Vee.” Last year, the local grocery store in town changed hands, from C&S Market to Gene’s. Improvements to the store, a better selection and more competitive pricing have attracted shoppers. “Knowledge is the biggest thing. A little place like us will never be a Walmart or a Checkers, but we can be extremely competitive,” says Handley, who has been in the grocery store business for 20 years. “Hopefully people will find they can shop here easier than they can shop at Walmart.” It was a “leap of faith” for Handley to relocate his family from rural Nebraska to Eudora, but it’s a move he’s happy he made. He likes being close to Kansas City, where he can take his sons to an occasional Royals game. “We’re invested into the community. We’re not here to just be here for a few years. I moved here for a reason,” he says. Under Handley’s watch, the store has added new refrigerators, a wider variety of produce, deli items and flowers. On the horizon is catering, cake decorating and new freezers. Eudora resident David Lauber says he’s been shopping at the grocery store since it was first built. He mostly shops there for one or two items, avoiding spending the gas to drive all the way to Lawrence. “The selection of goods is better, and the produce is better,” Lauber said. Handley hopes more people will return to the store as they continue to improve it. “The more traffic we can get the cheaper we can get the prices. Because we can start buying things in bigger bulk—if you get more people in you can get better deals,” Handley says. “We also try to do a lot with the school. We’re trying to keep the community strong. It’s jobs for the community, too. It’s also important to the tax base of Eudora. There are lots of different benefits to having a store in town.” story by

Exploring

Art

Kelly Neis has met the self-proclaimed best artist in the world. In fact, she’s met many of them—they’re her eager students. “The younger class is so confident about their abilities. They’ll say, ‘I’m the best artist ever!’ Or, ‘I’m the best painter ever!’” Neis laughs. “They have no reservations about being experimental and doing their own thing. They think they’ve done a great job, and they have.” That enthusiasm is contagious. Neis, teacher of Eudora Parks and Recreation’s Second Saturday art exploration class, can’t get enough of these kids. And judging by the reaction of enrollment, they can’t get enough of her, either. Last year she taught one session of art exploration for kindergarten through third grade and one session for fourth- through sixth-graders. This year the younger class filled up so fast they created a second class, and that one booked up right away as well. A graphic designer, Neis has been interested in art all her life. For Second Saturdays, she focuses on experimental art, like having the kids grind up crayons and melt them on paper, or having them dash sea salt on water colors and watch what happens. “This class is my way of doing what I always wanted—teaching art,” she says. The feeling after each class ends is one of mutual appreciation and excitement. “I love meeting these little kids,” Neis says. “They’ll give me big hugs after class and say, ‘Thank you, I had so much fun! I’ll see you in the next class!’” story by

CPA Picnic Celebrating over 100 years, the CPA Picnic is the event in Eudora (and no, it’s not for accountants). CPA stands for Central Protective Association and honors a group who protected Eudora from cattle rustlers and horse thieves in the late 1800s. The CPA Picnic is a time-honored tradition—over 100 years old—in Eudora. It’s a downtown carnival with rides, music, games, parades, dancing and delicious food (try the 1-pound corndog). Residents come out in droves and park free anywhere near downtown, then stroll to the CPA Park for a small-town carnival. It’s fun for both kids and adults, residents and visitors. “I was pleasantly surprised with the variety of rides and activities they had for the kids,” says John Rockhold, a Lawrence resident who brought his wife and two children to the 2012 CPA Picnic for the first time. “It was a good value for the money. We’ll definitely be back in 2013.” This year’s CPA Picnic takes place July 25-27. For more information, visit www. cityofeudoraks.gov. Or, just visit Eudora that weekend and follow the smell of the corndogs. story by

school’s (almost) out for summer When summer is looming, how do teachers keep kids focused?

For Eudora students, that final bell signals freedom. Freedom from teachers, freedom from textbooks, freedom from alarm clocks. It’s an opportunity to lounge by the pool or find that summer job and make some extra cash. Megan Whitebread, a fifth-grade teacher in Eudora, admits that it’s not easy keeping kids on track at the end of the school year. She’ll even take it one step further and admit that teachers are just as excited for summer break as students are. But with experience comes insight. These three Eudora faculty members told us how they keep their students focused on the finish line when the easy living of summertime is within reach.

And if that doesn’t work? “There’s no good way to say it, but I’ll tell students, ‘If you don’t like it this year, think of how bad you’ll hate it next year,’” he says. Misse says the way parents and teachers motivate students has changed since he was in school. Now in his 40s, he says when he was a student, the attitude was “do it because I told you to.” These days, parents and teachers both try to rationalize with students more. “We try to appeal to their senses: ‘You should do this, and this is why,’” he explains. “Generally speaking, it appeals to a student to consider themselves a partner in the process, instead of simply telling them what to do.” For parents who are trying to help their students get to the finish line, he suggests setting small goals and making constant reminders. “Put a sticky note on the mirror where they brush their teeth or shave,” he suggests. “A simple message, like, ‘Get an A’ or ‘Pass biology.’” And most of all, remind them that this is a journey. “My favorite method is to remind them that high school is a stepping stone,” Misse says. “To me, most kids, by the time they reach high school, they get it.”

Megan Whitebread Eudora Elementary fifth-grade teacher

Brett Misse Eudora High School counselor

Brett Misse doesn’t mince words when talking to students. Misse, a counselor for five years, is in his first year working in the Eudora school district. He’s observed from experience that there is no one thing that works for every student when it comes to motivation. “People who are already motivated, maybe you remind them that they want to get scholarships. Other kids, just getting them to class can be like pulling teeth,” he laughs. “I give them a similar motivator by asking them, ‘Where are you trying to go? What will it take to get there?’ Graduating is the only way, and they simply have to get it done.”

Megan Whitebread loves thinking about keeping students motivated. The fifth-grade teacher, now in her 12th year of teaching, starts thinking about the end of the year as early as January. “Everyone, even teachers, feel excited about the break that summer brings. Staying motivated to the end is certainly challenging,” she says. Whitebread doesn’t mind letting her students know that just like them, she’s excited for summer to get here, too. “Keeping my students motivated is a mixture of letting them know that it’s OK to be excited for our breaks and reminding them that we still have more learning to do before the end of the year,” she says. “I give refreshers on expectations and remind them of the rewards of sticking with it to the end.” Like a good movie or a book, Whitebread saves her best material for the end in order to keep the kids’ attention. “This keeps students more engaged and willing to keep going,” she says. “In reading, for example, I’ve done puppet shows and mock trials of storybook characters. The kids really get into this. It’s something different and creative.”

“Spring is a busy time of year with many outdoor activities starting up again. Parents can make sure their kids still get enough sleep, have homework time and communicate with teachers if their child is feeling overwhelmed or needs help.”

Erik Peltzman Eudora High School teacher

Eric Peltzman has been teaching high school for 13 years—all in Eudora. Currently his classes include Freshman Orientation and Striving for Success. A Striving for Success class isn’t as common as, say, English or biology, but it’s an important class at EHS, a school known for its innovation. “I’m big into teaching ‘soft skills,’ things you use every day that are important in business,” Peltzman says. “Things like a firm handshake, making good eye contact, being able to empathize with people. These are all skills a successful person has.” Another topic is “learning to learn,” which teaches students to consider the way they think. Of course there are also basic study skills, but Peltzman wants his students to realize before they’re done that “learning is omnipresent.” Peltzman enjoys the end of the year, because it represents the reward the students have been striving for. “It’s an exciting time, because I’ve been working with these kids for four years, and now they’re going to get that diploma,” he says. Peltzman says there’s no reason for students to “coast” to the end of the year, because he wants them to realize that no matter what they’re doing, they’re always learning. He tries to instill the idea that learning is a lifelong journey. “It’s never going to end. Even if you’re playing video games all summer, you’re learning how to play that game better,” he says. Parents can help by just being involved, being supportive, being communicative with the school and teachers, and monitoring grades on the PowerSchool. “You don’t want to play the telephone game, where a teacher tells a student, ‘If you don’t get this done, you’ll fail the class.’ The student goes home and says, ‘I’m failing the class,’” he says. “Be able to listen on a daily basis to what the parent, student and teacher are all saying.”

Working to better include and engage parents in the schools, Eudora Schools has launched Parent EmPOWER. The online bank of resources, accessible from the district homepage at www.eudoraschools.org, is designed to provide parents and guardians the information they need to be active partners in their child’s learning and growth. The Parent EmPOWER site is expected to grow over the coming school year, according to Kristin Magette, director of communications for Eudora Schools. Parent EmPower includes a guide to the terminology and programs used across the district, ranging from curriculum and assessments to social-emotional growth and behavior.

The Welcoming

World of 4-H A beloved centuries-old organization builds strong kids, families and communities story by

Kimberly Winter Stern photography by

Jason Dailey It’s undeniable that the national youthdevelopment organization with rural roots from the late 1800s involves agriculture and raising animals. But in the 21st century, 4-H is likely to have kids from both rural and urban areas interested in rocketry, photography, technology and robotics in addition to growing the perfect heirloom tomato or showing lambs at the fair. “4-H is much more than sows and plows,” says Mike Kelso, who along with his wife, Robyn, is a 4-H Community Club leader in Eudora. “And 4-H is not merely about winning championships and ribbons—while that’s nice—it’s really about leadership, citizenship and growth.” 4-H is all in the family—parents are just as committed to the teaching values of the community and service-based 4-H program as their children. ABOVE 4-H participants give a presentation on pets. RIGHT Alexis Leonard presents on 4-H topics to the greater membership.

w w w . c i t y o f e u d o r a k s . g o v

The Kelso clan of Eudora represents a thoroughly modern career 4-H family. Sons Matthew and Mason grew up surrounded by 4-H’s rich and diverse culture of developing critical thinking and a strong work ethic to winning awards for good manners and community spirit. “Kids usually start in 4-H around age 7 or 8,” says Robyn, a high school teacher and coach and former Eudora 4-H member. “It’s a priceless bonding experience for parents and their children. As time goes by you step back and let your son or daughter be more autonomous. But the family experience never goes away.”

Lesson Lessons are byproducts of every 4-H encounter, which the Kelso family has a bounty of to understand the world around them. They refer to the “great pumpkin pie catastrophe” as one of the golden opportunities to get an education in an unusual way. One afternoon a young Matthew—already a 4-H member—and Mason, not yet old enough to participate, were invited to spend time in their grandparent’s kitchen. Their grandmother was instructing them in the finer points of baking a pie for a 4-H project. Step-by-step the boys discovered the rather complex steps of putting a homemade pie together, measuring, sifting, stirring and pouring. They made the dough, prepared the filling and carefully slipped the pie into the oven to bake. A pot of coffee brewed, a tub of Cool Whip sat on the table, and plates and forks were set out for slices of pie. The irresistible smell of cinnamon and nutmeg wafted throughout the room, tickling noses. Then came the moment of truth.

Matthew and Mason’s grandmother, satisfied the pie was finished, took it from the oven, demonstrating how to safely remove the hot tin using potholders. Suddenly she dropped the pie, splattering the room floor-to ceiling with chunks of the dessert. “The boys learned a lot that day,” laughs Robyn. “Not only how to make a pie, but also a bit about oven safety. Turns out grandma didn’t have adequate potholders.” The Kelsos say kids and families involved in 4-H get as much out of it as they put into it. “You must have enthusiasm and an open mind along with a definite willingness to help your child grow,” Robyn advises potential 4-H parents. “There’s nothing to compare watching your son or daughter connect the dots on something while planning and completing a project.” Mike, who achieved the rank of Eagle Scout at age 17, and Robyn have encouraged Matthew and Mike to pursue their dreams through 4-H. The plethora of awards and honors the boys have received as a result of dedication, commitment, diligence and a large dose of curiosity will enhance their futures. Among the myriad accolades the boys have earned over the years include the Arden Booth Good Manners Award and Grand Champion Geology won by Matthew. Mason has won the Grand Champion Cat three years running and the County Piano Soloist Champion. Robyn says irreplaceable components make up a virtual three-legged stool representing a solid foundation for her family. “There’s biological—the family—and church friends and members,” she explains. “Then there’s 4-H. The support we get from those three areas of our life—and they’re all intertwined—invaluable.” In April 2005 Mike was diagnosed with cancer. Suddenly Robyn was thrown into an overwhelming whirlwind of medical challenges for her husband and caring for her children. It was the family’s “stool” that rallied, no questions asked, and offered support with meals, errand running and chauffeuring the boys to school and activities. “4-H offers a sense of community you don’t find often in today’s society,” says Robyn. “We are so grateful for our experiences.” For the Kelsos and the Eudora 4-H Club, the organization’s camaraderie—along with the livestock, crops and modern projects, of course—is a perennial blue-ribbon winner.

Getting

Involved

The Eudora 4-H Club meets at 7 p.m. the first Monday of each month at St. Paul United Church of Christ (738 Church St.). There are no membership dues or requirements to belong to 4-H—a youth simply attends three meetings, and at the fourth there will be an induction ceremony. Traditional 4-H is for 7-to 18-year-olds; 4-H Cloverbuds is for kids 5 to 7 years of age. The cost for special activities and projects varies. The local 4-H calendar of events includes the Douglas County Fair in late July/early August and other expos, workshops and project skill-athons throughout the year. There is multitude of opportunities for youth and their families to learn and grow, including 4-H summer camp, Discovery Days and KYLF (Kansas Youth Leadership Forum) during which state 4-H officers are selected.

Not Just child’s play Eudora Parks and Rec offers adults a chance to stay in the game. story by

Drive around Eudora on a Saturday afternoon, and it looks like this town might just revolve around youth sports. But ask any of the adult jocks in the town, and they’ll tell you that Eudora has some competitive adult athletic activities as well. From dodgeball to softball, kickball to volleyball, the grown-ups have game in this town. “I’m a pretty competitive person, and I play most sports. I’ve been wanting to get a team here (in Eudora),” says Eudora resident Kristy Fishburn, captain of The Newbies, a women’s indoor volleyball team. “Now

that the word is getting out, a lot more people are coming out and forming teams.” The Newbies have only lost one match this season against some pretty stiff competition. The meek need not apply, as there are some serious spikes in the volleyball league. And on the other end of the court, don’t be surprised if the sound of a vicious dunk going down echoes through the gymnasium on occasion. Rodney Strickland isn’t the one dunking, but he dreams of a future when the Rec Center’s double gym can be expanded. A dedicated hoopster,

he says there are enough activities happening that sometimes it’s hard to get in a game of basketball on the weekends. “We come just about every week. It’s warm [in the gym], there are a lot of people who come in here,” Strickland says as he catches his breath in-between games. “It’s good exercise. I come up here with my boys [Dalton, a senior, and Dillon, a junior]. They keep me in shape.” That’s the key for these adults—physical fitness. The saying “it’s not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game” applies here. “I don’t like to exercise alone. I like doing an organized activity and being able to socialize while being fit and active at the same time,” says April Rand, a teammate of Fishburn’s. “Volleyball has given me that opportunity, to play with some great people and also a sport I enjoy. I enjoy the people who are playing in the league—everyone’s good sports. It’s a really fun league to play in.” Eudora Rec isn’t limited to team sports when it comes to physical activities for adults. Pilates, yoga, fit mix and zumba are some of the other activities the center provides.

Eudora Family Care takes care of generations of families while taking care of business. For Drs. Daniel Dickerson and Elizabeth Stamper, the small-town medical practice of Eudora Family Care reaps big rewards in being able to deliver personalized patient care. And while the care that’s dispensed at EFC during more than 5,000 patient visits annually may appear old-fashioned on the surface, underneath is a veneer of modern health care at its best.

The board-certified physicians and staff at EFC’s modern 10,500-square-foot building on Church Street, just south of Kansas 10 Highway, treat generations of family members from birth to the elderly. As the only family medical practice in Eudora, the clinic’s top priorities are the community’s health and well-being. Developing authentic relationships with patients and community members is an integral component of EFC’s warm and friendly atmosphere. Dickerson and Stamper, along with physician assistant Rebekah Johnston and support staff, support the community and provide leadership and service. The practice is active with the Eudora Chamber of Commerce and various community-focused events. Dickerson and his wife, Jill, moved to Eudora with their two daughters in 2002 for the town’s signature family atmosphere. He serves on the Eudora Board of Education; Jill is a middle school principal in the Tonganoxie School District. Stamper graduated from Kansas State University with a bachelor’s degree in biology and completed her medical

For Dr. Daniel Dickerson, building a respected, modern medical practice in a small community like Eudora is priceless. “I practice my profession in a place I love and where my family thrives,” he says. He is especially proud of the practice’s and hospital’s commitment toward education encouraging his staff toward advanced degrees. Dickerson earned a bachelor’s degree in biological science and psychology and a doctorate in biochemistry at the University of Missouri, then received his medical degree at the University of Kansas Medical Center in 1996. He completed a residency in family medicine at KU Medical Center and Olathe Family Practice in 1999. A board-certified Fellow of the American Academy diplomat of family medicine and an ImPACT certified concussion physician, Dickerson received the University of Kansas School of Medicine’s Rainbow Award in 2006. The student-nominated award recognizes and honors a physician who cultivates outstanding attributes in professionalism and excellence in medical students. Dickerson also received the Preceptor of the Year Award in 2007 and the Preceptor Excellence Award in 2012, new this year, honoring a preceptor who exemplifies the attributes of excellence and professionalism in medicine, and who has generously given their time, experience and knowledge to medical students.

environment of addressing patients’ cares and concerns extends beyond the doors of EFC. “We have a vested interest in Eudora,” says Stamper. “I grew up in a small town like Eudora—Halstead, Kansas, around the medical profession. I feel like a part of this community.

That’s important to me.” Likewise, residents feel like a part of Eudora Family Care. Many have sought comfort and healing for decades in the original practice that Dr. Ken Holladay established in 1961. Holladay, a respected member of the Lawrence

Memorial Hospital medical staff, retired in May 2004. Dickerson began seeing patients at Holladay’s practice in 2002, at which time LMH formed Eudora Family Care. Primary care in Eudora received a shot in the arm in 2011 when the $2.5 million Eudora Medical Plaza opened. Previously located in a small, outdated building, Eudora Family Care now welcomes patients to a facility boasting natural light, 11 examination rooms, X-ray equipment and a procedure room. Secure electronic medical records offer efficiency and the ability to share information with other doctors when necessary. Eudora Medical Plaza houses not only EFC, but also Byrne’s Pharmacy and Eudora Therapy Services offered by LMH for outpatient physical therapy. The proximity to LMH, an acclaimed regional hospital, means EFC patients often have the full spectrum of treatment, including cancer and cardiac, they require in their backyard. “Our patients have access to excellent health care here, along with our wide referral network,” says Stamper. “Our affiliation with Lawrence Memorial Hospital gives people peace of mind.” The unparalleled access to compassionate, high-quality health care is something Eudora-area residents have come to rely on over the decades. Belinda Rehmer, communications coordinator at LMH, moved to Eudora in 1985. Her family—including five children—visited Holladay’s office for medical care and continued when the practice became Eudora Family Care. “My five children were patients here, and two still see Dr. Dickerson,” says Rehmer. “Now it’s come full circle—two of my grandchildren are Dr. Dickerson’s patients. That means a lot to me—an invaluable continuum of care.” Rehmer, a member of the Eudora School Board and the Eudora Chamber of Commerce, Rebekah Johnston is Eudora appreciates Eudora Family Family Care’s extended-hours Care’s community presence. practitioner.
