Employees at National Beef Packing were

temporarily evacuated after a fire reportedly struck
the roof of one of the buildings at the Liberal plant.
Liberal Fire Chief Kelly Kirk noted in a press
release, local firefighters were called to National Beef
shortly before midnight Friday for a fire on the roof of
the east rendering building at 1501 E. Eighth Street.
First arriving police and fire units reported heavy
fire from a vent stack and fire inside the building

involving equipment and the structure itself, Kirk

noted.
Kirk said crews initiated an attack on the fire with
multiple hand-lines at ground level inside the building
as well as an aerial master stream to access the

Chemical cloud over Kansas

community dissipates
The spill occurred at the MGP
Ingredients plant in Atchison, according
to Katie Horner, spokeswoman for the
Kansas Department of Emergency
Management
ATCHISON (AP) A chemical spill at a northeast
Kansas distilling plant released a noxious cloud of fumes
Friday, forcing temporary evacuations and sending dozens of
people to the hospital, including two who were in intensive
care, officials said.
Most of the people who went to hospitals had been
released by Friday afternoon.
The spill occurred at the MGP Ingredients plant in
Atchison, according to Katie Horner, spokeswoman for the
Kansas Department of Emergency Management. She said
the spill occurred as two chemicals, sulfuric acid and sodium
hypochlorite, were mistakenly combined at the plant, which
produces premium distilled spirits and employs about 300
people.
When the two chemicals combine they can release chlorine
gas, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Homes and schools near the plant had been evacuated
early Friday, but city officials gave the all clear for residents to

return before noon. Atchison has about 11,000 residents and

is about 50 miles northwest of Kansas City.
"The threat is really over, and its safe to be outside," said
Becky Berger, assistant city manager. She advised residents to
air out homes that smell like a swimming pool.
Sixty-seven people sought medical attention at the
Atchison Hospital emergency room, spokeswoman T.C.
Roberts said, and one person remained in stable condition in
intensive care late Friday afternoon. Most had been released,
but two other people were admitted to the hospital.
Mosaic Life Care in nearby St. Joseph, Missouri, also
treated about 18 people, including one who remained in ICU
Friday afternoon, said Joey Austin, hospital spokeswoman.
All the others were released.
The regional EPA office said it was supporting state and
local emergency crews and had sent a coordinator to the site
to assess the situation.
MGP didnt immediately return calls seeking comment.
Chris Gitro, a meteorologist with the National Weather
Service, said wind conditions helped the plume break up.
"The one thing we had on our side was that the winds were
enough to make it disperse," he said.
Pinpointing the clouds direction proved to be a guessing
game while it was still in Atchison. As one school buildings
students sought shelter in the gymnasium, students in the
other three buildings were shuttled in buses first toward a

WICHITA (AP) An athletic

conference composed of 19 Kansas
community colleges has dropped a
rule adopted during the desegregation era to limit out-of-state
players on basketball and football
teams.
The Kansas Jayhawk Community
College Conference announced
Thursday that it changed the rule
after eight schools threatened to
leave, The Wichita Eagle reports.
Under the change, which will
take effect next school year, the
conference will allow its schools to
compete at the Division I or
Division II level in the National
Junior College Athletic Association.
It will also follow NJCAA roster
limits for all sports, ending any outof-state and roster limitations.
Current Jayhawk rules limit
football programs to 63 scholarships, while NJCAA rules allow 85.
Jayhawk schools were limited to 20
out-of-state scholarship players.
Opponents of limitations argued
that they discriminated against the
mostly black out-of-state players.
But supporters contended that the
rule protected opportunities for
Kansas students, boosting their
chances of getting a college
education on athletic scholarships.
I think calmer heads prevailed
and we got some very positive
dialogue here, Jayhawk president
Mike Calvert said after Thursdays
meeting. Of course not everyone is
going to be 100 percent pleased.
We still have work to do, but I know
everyone is pleased were going to
be moving forward together as a
conference.
Another bylaw change beginning
with the 2018-19 season will allow
schools to grant full-ride scholarships in Division I sports. That
change will require a new bylaw to
be passed at the spring KJCC
meeting in April 2017; if one isnt
passed, the rule will revert to the
previous
scholarship
limits
beginning in 2020.
Calvert said scholarship funds for
out-of-state players must be
privately raised by either booster
clubs or foundations, and they

a game changer, said Travis

Combs, Director of the SCCC
Colvin Center. All over the
country, people are fighting hate,
and standing up to promote
tolerance and inclusion. More
often than not, when hate flares up,
good people rise up against it, often
times in greater numbers and with
stronger voices.
Combs said he has been
encouraged to see that dynamic at
work in Liberal as people struggle
to absorb recent events. Liberals
mayor, Joe Denoyer, issued a
strong public statement of support
for refugees and community understanding when news broke that two
men from the community had
conspired to attack refugees.
Newspaper publisher Earl Watt
wrote an editorial that rejected the
actions of a few, which dont reflect
the community as a whole.
Students and team members at
SCCC circulated petitions of
support for Somali students who
study at the college.
Captain Al Sill of the Liberal
Police Department reached out
to ask what we can do together,
Combs said, and our Somali
community members are eager to
connect to people who live here.
We hope people will join us, share
with us, and celebrate our differences.
Combs knows what hes talking
about. At the SCCC Colvin
Center, hundreds of students
attend classes each week to learn
English, complete the GED test,
and start on college work that
enables them to better their circumstances through individual effort.

The Kansas Department of

with Curtis Allen, were indicted by

of conspiring to use a weapon of
mass destruction.
There will be other future
hearings before the trial, but theres
nothing scheduled right now,
Cross said.
Allen is scheduled to face his own
detention hearing at 4 p.m.
Monday.
Combs is especially proud of the
fact that, since 2003, more than
540 people have become U.S.
citizens through study completed
at the Colvin Center.
People often ask me if I feel
scared, working with students from
countries like Burma, Somalia,
Sudan, he said. The answer is,
No, our students love us and feel
great loyalty to the community.
What I see is people who are
thankful for the opportunities
available here in the U.S., and
willing to work very hard.
The meeting is open to the public
for constructive dialogue, and offers
an opportunity to share concerns,
ask questions, and work together as

Furr Lawn and Landscape: Offering

a variety of lawncare needs
By JESSICA CRAWFORD
Leader & Times

What simply began as helping a friend has

turned into a rather successful business for Josh
Furr of Furr Lawn and Landscape.
For eight years, Furr has been the
owner/operator of Furr Lawn and Landscape,
however, the past year business has been
booming for the 32-year-old husband to Laci
and father of 3-year-old son Peyton.
I have been in business eight years, Furr
said. I started out just mowing by myself with
with very few yards. Now eight years later, we
offer a variety of service ranging from mowing
to landscape and fencing to even retaining walls
and concrete work.
I also do spraying, I have a five-step spraying
program that I offer, he added. I got into that
this year. I got into a lot this year. My business
doubled this year. We do sprinkler repair,
sprinkler install, rock, flower bed in, a garden
whatever the customer wants. If you want us to
do a landscape install, we can also do the
maintenance on it. We can do the upkeep on
the mowing if the
customer likes. We
are very comptetive
in pricing, too.
Just this past year,
Furr has added
landscaping to his list
of services due to the
hiring of two very
experienced individuals.
I have two guys who have 30 years of
combined experience that used to work for
another landscape company, he said. I had
the opportunity to hire them. So, they pretty
much came on on board in June of this year,
and we have been doing landscape jobs since.

ABOVE: A yard in Perryton, Texas, looks well maintained after Furr Lawn and Landscape
did the job in July.

Furr hasnt always been as busy as he is now.
What he has turned into an art was once an odd
job just to help out a friend.
My best friend owned a business all through
high school, and I
had helped him
several summers here
and there, he said.
I
moved
to
Oklahoma City in
2008. I didnt like
what I was doing, so in
the beginning of 2009,
I came back and started
mowing because I knew I liked it, I knew how
to do it, and here we are eight years later.
Furr doesnt sit in an office and delegate the
work out. If his company is hired for a job, he is
there working right alongside his crew of three
hired men.

Im an owner/operater of Furr Lawn and

Landscape, he said. If Furr Lawn and
Landscape is on your property, I am there 90
percent of the time. If someone is mowing your
yard, I am likely there. I have three employees.
I have two for the landscape crew and one who
pretty much mows with me, but he also helps
on landscape jobs too. We all help with everything.
Furr Lawn and Landscape can be reached by
calling 624-7490 or by calling Josh Furrs cell at
806-228-0848. Furr Lawn and Landscape also
has a Facebook presence. Furr would like to
offer anyone who sees his advertisement in the
Leader & Times Autumn Home tab a 10 percent
discount on lawn and landscape work. Just
mention the ad, and he will honor the discount.
Furr Lawn and Landscapes goal is to make
the customer feel happy when they see their
yard.

Peanut butter vandal mistakes gathering for Trump rally

Authorities say the 32-yearold woman was drunk when
she entered the meeting
and began yelling about
how she hates Trump
AMHERST, Wis. (AP) Disorderly conduct charges are pending

Make sure your ads are seen in the

pages of the states top newspaper in
advertising for 2015. Call 6260840

against a woman who authorities

say smeared peanut butter on 30
vehicles outside a gathering in
central Wisconsin that she
mistakenly thought was a Donald
Trump rally.
WSAW-TV reports that investigators say the Monday night
conservation group meeting in
Amherst had nothing to do with

politics.
Authorities say the 32-year-old
woman was drunk when she
entered the meeting and began
yelling about how she hates
Trump. She departed when asked
to leave, but authorities say she
then used peanut butter to draw
phallic symbols and write profanities on vehicles outside. An

incident report said the womans

blood-alcohol content was 0.218,
about 2 times the states legal
limit for driving.
She is free on bond.
Amherst is 115 miles north of
Madison.

Economic
trends not
good for
Kansas
Two economists had a
sobering message for
Kansas and its leaders on
Thursday the state faces
a grim economic future if
current trends continue.
Let that be another call to Gov.
Sam Brownback and the Legislature
to, once the 2016 elections are
finished, go into the 2017 legislative
session with a singular commitment
to work together to do whats
necessary to get Kansass economy on
pace with the rest of the nation, even
if that means admitting that some of
the fiscal policies enacted since 2010
arent working.
Jeremy Hill, director of the Center
for Economic and Business Research
at Wichita State University, and Chris
Courtwright, principal economist for
the Kansas Legislative Research
Department, were featured speakers
at Thursdays Kansas Economic
Policy Conference at the University
of Kansas.
Hill, who studies demographics,
said if current trends continue over
the next 50 years, 80 percent of the
states population will be
concentrated in urban areas, and the
rural population could shrink to
700,000 people.
He said many young people who
grow up in Kansas leave after
graduating high school, and the state
is not attracting enough people to
make up the difference. He said by
2066, Kansas could have a retirement
population that outnumbers workingage youth. The consequences of such
trends are higher costs for delivering
services such as health care and
education to shrinking rural areas,
costs that will have to be borne by the
smaller working-age population.
Courtwright, who analyzes tax
policy for the Legislature, said the
challenges that face Kansas are made
more difficult by the states tax
structure, including the income tax
cuts that lawmakers approved in 2012
and 2013 lowering income tax rates
and eliminating taxes altogether for
certain kinds of business income. It
was based on the trickle-down theory
that reducing income taxes would put
more money into peoples pockets,
and that would stimulate the
economy. But by 2014, Courtwright
said, it was clear the Kansas economy
was not responding the way tax-cut
advocates hoped. Kansas economy
and personal income were growing
slower than the national average. And
little has changed in those trends in
the nearly two years since.
Had the Legislature left the tax
code as it was in 2012, Courtwright
said, Kansas would be taking in an
estimated $920 million a year more
than it is now. Imagine the
investments in infrastructure,
transportation and higher education
that might have been made with such
funds. Imagine how different the
2016 elections and the 2017
legislative session might look.
When Brownback assumed the
governorship, the state was coming
out of the great recession. And its
not the governors fault that the
states most important industries
agriculture, aviation, and oil and gas
have struggled throughout his
tenure. Perhaps, absent such issues,
Kansass economy might have thrived
under the tax cuts.
But thats not the reality today.
Rather, as Hill and Courtwright point
out, reality is a lagging state economy
likely to fall further behind nationally
unless the states leaders have the
courage to make changes to policies
that arent working. For the sake of
future Kansans, lets hope they do.

L&T

October anniversary puts

election in perspective
G R AV I T Y A N D
S TA R S

Voter registration deadline has

passed in Kansas. The Presidential
Election looms ahead, just a few
weeks out. Arent you tired of it all?
With a campaign season like weve had and
seemingly must endure for who knows how long
its easy to get a bit glazey-eyed. Its so
overwhelming. Its also tempting to tune the noise
completely out, because in the end, an ordinary
person can feel fairly helpless.
The calendar brought perspective to me this
week, as I marked the second anniversary of my
oldest childs death. In one sense, Oct. 19 was an
ordinary day, cram-packed with work tasks and
family responsibilities, all playing out against the
backdrop of a brilliant blue autumn sky and leaves
crisping from green to gold. But the day felt
surreal, too.
Nearly everything I encountered bore an
afterimage of what might have been: had Amy
lived, shed be 30 years old, eligible to vote, part of
the work force, perhaps even married and a young
parent herself. Then again, no. All that would have
been impossible for a girl born without most of her
brain. Amy was a lovely soul, a remarkable person.
She was not, however, measurable. She didnt
conform to anyones chart or action plan. IEP
meetings resembled Monty Python skits. On the
anniversary of her death, any imagining that went
on was more an afterimage of my journey as the
mother of a child with severe disabilities than a
process of grief for lost time.
If Im going to mourn the end of her life, I
might as well mourn her very life itself. Why did
she die before her third decade? is not as
compelling a question as Why did she arrive in
this world so hampered by a body that didnt work
properly? How about this one: Why dont we get
solid answers to these questions?
A pious person might advise a quick readthrough of the book of Job in the Old Testament.
Its a great story, one of the oldest written
documents in the history of everything. Despite its
poetry, its not one of my favorites since the main
theme boils down to, Dont ask questions above
your pay grade.
Then again, my own life experience bears out
this notion. As I learned over the course of my 29
years with Amy, sometimes the big, philosophical
questions are not worth the time it takes to ask. Is
there anything I can do to alter the daily realities
of this life with Amy? Will wondering change the
circumstances that brought her to me? If the
answers are no, somebody might as well get
breakfast started.
Whether the situations we confront are physical,
mental, developmental, or psychological , parents
of children with special needs can be forgiven if we
fail to get in a lather over the voting booth. Sure,
votes count and politicians can make life easier or
more impossible once theyve taken office. Of
course, we want people in office who share our
deepest convictions and uphold our values.
Whatever the outcomes, though, mothers have

Rachel Coleman
Liberal
to get up and change the clothes, maybe even the
bedding, and start the days long list of caregiving
labors. Details vary. Its all difficult.
And its hard not to allow the daunting nature of
it all to sap your spirit.
Theories about how to prevent bone-deep,
heart-hurting exhaustion abound. Some say pray.
Others say laugh. Many find solace in friends and
community not because misery loves company,
but because many hands make light work. Therapy
helps, if you can afford it. Even if you cant, its
worth exploring. At the end of it all, you get 24
hours every day, and the choice of how to spend
them.
This concept applies across the board to parents,
adults who are happy without children to raise,
medical professionals, first responders. It applies
to students. Retirees. Even politicians, and those
of us are stuck with the pesky problem of how to
apply our standards and aspirations to the glowing
touch-screen that has replaced the paper ballot.
Being left with icky options in the voting booth
is nothing new. Life, as my mother often observes
to me, is rarely ideal. Every day, though, brings us
the assignment of getting back up to do the next
thing.
In that respect, I respectfully suggest that no
one is more qualified to show up on election day
and do their civic duty than people who have lived
through experiences packed with unimaginable
pain. If you survived a war, fought to get to this
country, made it through the arduous citizenship
process if you grew up in less than perfect
circumstances, if you raised children in a manner
that improved upon where you started, if your life
includes people you love if you are a lone wolf
and keep your own counsel, if you wonder why,
even when you know wondering is a waste of time
if you are an overcomer, if you
When you live through the unimaginable, you
should have no problem stepping up to the task of
deciding on a president. Anyone who lives with
pain, survives pain, triumphs over pain must speak
or shrivel in the silence. So nobody is off the hook
in November. Ill see you there.

LETTERS
POLICY

The Daily Leader & Times

provides a regular forum for readers
ideas and opinions.
Letters should be sent to the High
Plains Daily Leader, 16 S. Kansas,
Liberal, Kansas 67901.They may also
be faxed to the office at (620) 6269854; or use our e-mail address:
news@hpleader.com
Letters may endorse individual
candidates if the writer is an area
resident but must stay within the
bounds of good taste. Candidates
cannot use the Op-Ed Page to

promote their campaign.

Letters may address any topic or
area of interest, but cannot be
libelous or contain specific consumer
complaints against a private business.
No more than one letter from
the same individual will be
published within 7 days of a
previous letter on the same
topic unless it is a response
to a rebuttal from another
writer.
These items should be legibly
printed or typewritten and should

contain the writers signature, correct

address and telephone number. Only
the writers name and town of
residence will be published.We
reserve the right to edit for length
and request that letters not exceed
500 words.
Letters to the editor are
expressions of our readers opinions.
Letters, op-ed columns and political
cartoons do not necessarily reflect
the editorial positions or opinions of
the Leader&Times or its employees.

Kansas faces an
unprecedented threat
to the independence
and fairness of our
court system. Powerful
special interests,
financed largely
through secret
contributions, are
seeking the removal, in
one fell swoop, of a
majority of the justices
of the Kansas Supreme
Court and a number of
Court of Appeals
judges.

GUEST
COLUMN

Every voting Kansas member

of the American College of Trial
Lawyers believes this would be a
tragic mistake.
Members of the ACTL are
elected by peers based upon at
least 15 years of significant
litigation experience. We are a
diverse group of Kansas lawyers,
with members who live and
practice law in every part of this
state and who have differing
political, religious and ideological
viewpoints. Yet, despite these
differences, we agree as a group
that Kansans must resist this
political effort to undermine the
Kansas judiciary.
There is no mystery about the
goals of those financing this
attack: They want to remove the
judges up for retention so Gov.
Sam Brownback can appoint
replacements more to their
liking. They also want to send a
message to every other judge in
this state: They better start
deciding cases the right way or
expect to be attacked.
This type of intimidation, if
successful, will destroy the
independence of our courts. And
without that independence, no
one appearing in court can be
confident his or her case will be
decided based upon the rule of
law, as opposed to outside
pressure. Loss of independence
also destroys the judiciarys
ability to carry out its most
sacred obligation to defend the
Constitution.
Yes, some Kansas court
decisions have been the subject
of honest disagreements.
Deciding controversial, even gutwrenching, issues is part of the
job description of every judge.
The correct answer is often
uncertain, and rarely will

Steven Day
Chair, Kansas State
Committee of the
American College of
Trial Lawyers
everyone be happy with the
outcome.
This points to the absurdity of
the argument being made that
the Kansas justices do not
deserve to be retained because
the U.S. Supreme Court
disagreed with them in one
highly publicized case.
Nonsense. Judges often disagree.
The greatest judges in history
have had decisions overturned.
This is part of the process and
one of its most important protections.
What is critical is not that the
decisions of judges always be
right, as viewed from each
individuals perspective which,
of course, is impossible. Rather,
its that judges reach these
judgments based upon their
good-faith understanding of the
law, and not in response to
political pressure.
Kansans should reject this
misguided effort to remove the
membership of the states two
highest courts in mass not for
the sake of the individual judges
themselves but for the guarantee
that every Kansan will continue
to have access to independent
courts fairly applying the rule of
law.
Steven C. Day is a Wichita
attorney and chairman of the
Kansas State Committee of the
American College of Trial Lawyers.

WHY IT MATTERS: Wall Street Regulation

By MARCY GORDON
AP BusinessWriter

WASHINGTON THE ISSUE: The financial

crisis that struck in 2008 touched off the worst
recession since the 1930s Great Depression, wiping
out $11 trillion in U.S. household wealth and leaving
about 8 million Americans jobless. More than 5 million
families lost their homes to foreclosure. Reckless
trading and aggressive practices on Wall Street in the
prior boom years were pinned with much of the blame.
In the aftermath, Congress enacted an overhaul of
financial rules aimed at preventing another meltdown
and multibillion-dollar taxpayer bailout of banks. The
2010 Dodd-Frank law gave regulators new oversight
powers and tools to shut banks without resorting to
bailouts. Risky lending was restricted and a new federal
agency was charged with protecting consumers from
deceptive marketing of financial products.
Republicans and many in the business community
complain that the restrictions have raised costs for
banks, especially smaller ones, and other businesses,
stifling economic growth. They want the overhaul law
repealed.

WHERE THEY STAND

Hillary Clinton says the Dodd-Frank law should be

strengthened. Shed slap a new risk fee on the biggest
banks and financial institutions, and give regulators
more power to force high-risk banks to shrink or break
apart. That doesnt go as far as Bernie Sanders Break
them up mantra during his Democratic primary
campaign against her.
In closed-door paid speeches few years ago to Wall
Street bankers, Clinton showed a more soft-handed
approach, according to leaked transcripts. She said in
October 2013 that the jury is still out on whether the
Dodd-Frank overhaul had been the right approach.
Donald Trump wants the financial overhaul law to be
repealed, or at least mostly dismantled. He embraces
the view held by Republicans and business interests
that the regulations have increased costs and
smothered growth. He calls the law a disaster and a
disgrace.

WHY IT MATTERS

Eight years on, the economys recovery from the

havoc brought by the financial crisis has been halting
and slow.
And popular resentment still smolders over the

multibillion-dollar bailout by U.S. taxpayers of Wall

Street mega-banks and financial firms in the crisis. It
gave a big lift to Sanders upstart campaign. It also
created some heartburn for Clinton because of her
financial connections. She and husband Bill have
collected tens of millions of dollars in speaking fees
from Wall Street banks, insurance companies and
other financial firms. Over her 15-year political career,
shes received tens of millions in campaign donations
from people in the finance, insurance and real estate
industries.
Beyond their stake as taxpayers, American
consumers have an interest in the financial regulations
that came in after the meltdown. The Dodd-Frank law
set up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau,
which expanded regulators oversight of mortgage
firms, credit card issuers, payday lenders, student loan

providers and others.

Debate rages over whether Wall Street banks still are
too big to fail with government bailouts inevitable.
Critics of Wall Street say bigger banks can mean
reduced competition and higher fees for consumers.
Several of the banks did get bigger as they absorbed
failing institutions during the crisis.
On the other side, defenders say big banks such as
Citigroup, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and
Goldman Sachs are getting smaller and simpler on
their own, mainly by selling off big-chunk assets and
businesses. Generally, though, the shrinking thats
occurred isnt enough to overcome the bulking-up
during the crisis.
Reaching further for a solution, liberal Democratic
critics of Wall Street like Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth
Warren have pushed for Congress to restore the

Depression-era firewall between the more staid

commercial side of banking and its risk-taking
investment side. Clinton has not. Bringing back the socalled Glass-Steagall law probably would lead to the
breakup of major banks.
In a surprise, the Republican Party advocated
reviving that law in its platform. For a party that traditionally favors deregulation and hands-off governance,
folding the provision into a sharply conservative
platform brought double-takes among the political
crowd. The move may have been designed to appeal to
Sanders supporters who dont want to vote for Clinton.
At any rate, party platforms carry only symbolic
weight; theyre not binding on their partys elected
officials.

Reactions ...

surprised some, but came as no
surprise to others such as Liberals
Amanda Schwab.
I was not surprised, she said.
The American people are scared,
tired and angry because of the
jeopardy our government is putting
us in.
Schwab noted that Liberal is a
sanctuary city, which means people
in the U.S. illegally can live here
legally, something she said causes
even more fear from placing people
in cities without properly vetting
them.
It is a difficult time in which we
live, she said. People need help,
but at the same time, not all people
are good hearted with good intentions. If there is the slightest
question of wrong or ill motives as
to ones purpose for coming to the
states, especially if that person has
ties to terrorism, then that person
should not be allowed in.
This is what Schwab called a nobrainer, saying vetting is a must.
Liberals officials should be
protecting
its
people
by
withdrawing as a sanctuary city,
she said.
Both Seward County resident
Jim Rice and area resident Mike
Hanson found the news a bit of a
surprise.
Shocked and angry, Hanson
said.
My reaction to the news as a bit
of surprise, not in my backyard,
Rice said.
Liberal resident Mike Brack
initially came across the news on
social media, and at first, he was
curious. Later as more details
surfaced, though, he was surprised
and saddened that something like
this could happen in his
community.
Brack, however, said as he has
had time to ponder more on the
situation, he feels less surprised
with the tones being heard on a
national level.
Schwab, Hanson and Rice all
said race relations in Southwest
Kansas seem to be good and
accepting in spite of Fridays news.
I think as a whole, most people
are very welcoming and know we
all can work together, Hanson
said. There are those out there
that are full of anger and hatred, no
matter what.
I would say the race relations in
our rural communities are far
better than in larger populated
areas, Rice said. Sure there are
exceptions, but all in all, I would
say they are good.
Schwab, Hanson, Rice and
Brack were praising of the work
done by the many law enforcement
agencies, including the Liberal
Police Department, Seward
County Sheriffs Office, the Kansas
Bureau of Investigation, the FBI
and the Kansas Highway Patrol, to
bring a halt to the plot of the
Kansas Security Force and the
Crusaders to destroy a housing

area and mosque home to nearly
120 Somali Muslims in Garden
City.
I have never worried about our
local
and
regional
law
enforcement, Hanson said.
Schwab said she was thankful no
lives were lost in the process of the
investigation.
They did their job well, she
said. I do, however, find it interesting that this particular attack
could be stopped, but terrorist
attacks that have killed many could
not be stopped.
Rice said he is proud and
thankful for local law enforcement
agencies.
They have a thankless job, and
thank goodness the same attitude
does not exist here that is present
in some larger populated areas, or
at least I hope does not, he said.
Brack said the areas representation of law enforcement is a good
one in his opinion.
Now I have been concerned on
some of the discontent that we
hear among our city and county
law enforcement, but some of that
is normal and could be better
handled by their individual
leadership, he said. This situation
has been reported to have been
under investigation for several
months, and that makes me feel
good that our security is being well
looked after not only locally, but
also state and federally. I think we
as citizens have a vital role in
reporting things we see in our
community that isnt right.
Schwab, Hanson and Rice all
feel safe in the area they call home,
but Schwab and Rice are still
cautious of their surroundings.
I feel mostly safe, Schwab said.
But I really dont trust people that
Im not associated with very easily.
I feel as safe as I always have,
Rice said. Yes, I remain alert to my
situation and location, but never do
I feel unsafe.
Hanson did not seem as cautious
about the safety of Southwest
Kansas.
I feel very safe, he said. People
watch out for each other, and we
are a family.
Brack, though, did express significant concerns about the safety of
the area.
The safety level of our
community isnt what it used to
be, he said. Kids would play
outside until the street lights came
on, and they would then go home.
As a teenager, I remember hearing
of the waitress that was murdered
after she left work, which unsettled
our community for a while.
Brack said events such as a home
being broken into or a car stolen
make locals question their safety,
so much so that doors are locked
and more attention is paid to a
person keeping themselves,
families and co-workers safe.
We still have the liberty to go for
walks in our community, and kids
can play in the parks, he said. We
cant forget about safety on all
levels, and it takes every one of us
to keep an eye out for everyone.

Rice said the hope in a rural area

such as Southwest Kansas would
be such that attitudes such as those
presented by the three men
arrested Friday, Gavin Wright,
Patrick Stein and Curtis Allen,
would not be present or even a
consideration, but evidence shows
differently.
Schwab and Brack had similar
attitudes toward the feeling of what
seems to be a presence of terrorism
in the area.
I believe that there is terrorism
being plotted against many cities in
every state, as well as in rural
areas, Schwab said. Preparedness
and prevention should be on every
persons mind.
Brack said rural life in todays
world is not much different than
city life.
Being neighborly is a thing of
the past, he said. We get into the
hustle and bustle of day to day life
and forget the importance of
knowing and looking out after our
neighbors and for that matter other
humans that we come in contact
with in our daily lives. In rural
America, it used to be common to
drive down the highway and have
the farmer/rancher wave as they
passed an oncoming car.
Brack said likewise, manners
have become for the most part a
thing of the past, such as opening
doors for people, saying hello or
simply smiling at someone.
We are only wrapped up in
ourselves and not worried about
what others are going through, he
said. We still see some of these
things today, but not like it used to
be. Terrorism in rural America
hopefully isnt on the rise today.
Hopefully we will all live under the
golden rule and learn how to live
today with the manners of the past
and Gods grace. If this happens,
then there shouldnt be a problem
with terrorism anywhere in our
country.
Hanson said he never thought
something such as what nearly
happened this year with the alleged
plot would happen here.
What we saw with these people
is nothing different than the
enemy trying to destroy Christian
churches and the American life,
he said.
Brack said his perception that
something could happen here has
changed within the last two
decades.
The OKC bombing affected
me, but each act of terrorism in
this country since then has made it
a different country to me, he said.
On Sept. 11, 2001, it didnt matter
where in America you were. It

affected you in many ways. Maybe

it is the aging process, and Ive
learned to take off the rose colored
glasses.
Both Schwab and Hanson said
nowhere, not even Southwest
Kansas, is immune to terrorism.
We have a great number of
livestock, and our protein source
being raised and fed here, Hanson
said. I feel our law enforcement is
diligent. I do worry that our
president and our future president
(whomever that may be) have no
clue.
Schwab said there are times that
she wonders if locals are as safe as
they like to think they are.
Yet as Christians, we are told to
live by neither fear nor by sight, but
rather, we are to live by faith, she
said. Faith that God will do as He
has promised to do, never leaving
us, never forsaking us, providing all
that we need as we need it.
Brack emphasized that police
cannot be everywhere all the time,
and citizens have a responsibility to
community and country to help
out.
We have people come to our
community, he said. It doesnt
matter if they are Americans just
moving here from somewhere else
or a foreigner moving here to make
a better life for themselves and
family. We need to report what we
see being done wrong so the
powers that be can fix the
situation.
Brack said most of the time, a
person can fix a problem in a civil
and compassionate way.
We can explain the importance
of an American education and how
things are done here, he said. The
English language is the most
important tool to have when trying
to make your way here in this
country, and we dont do a very
good job in helping the immigrants
to learn English. Instead, we
complain that we cant read the
business signs, or we get mad when
we hear someone speak in a foreign
language in a business here. We
can explain the laws and
ordinances of our community.
Brack said most of the
immigrants coming to America
have not experienced living
anywhere that has laws like the
U.S.
We take for granted that they
know there are speed limits and
that they have to properly insure
their vehicles and homes, he said.
The social graces are different (or
should be) in this country explain
things like this to them. Welcome
them and lend a hand and not just
a hand out.

SAURO

Attack in Afghanistan killed

Illinois soldier, Oklahoma man
Army Sgt. Douglas J. Riney, 26, of
Fairview, Illinois, and Michael G.
Sauro, 40, of McAlester,
Oklahoma, died of wounds
received when they encountered
hostile enemy forces
FAIRVIEW, Ill. (AP) A
decorated U.S. soldier from
Illinois and an Army civilian
employee from Oklahoma who
both had been deployed multiple
times to support military operations in Afghanistan were killed in
an attack this week in Kabul, the
Defense Department said.
Army Sgt. Douglas J. Riney, 26,
of Fairview, Illinois, and Michael
G. Sauro, 40, of McAlester,
Oklahoma, died of wounds
received when they encountered
hostile enemy forces in
Afghanistans capital, the military
announced Thursday.
Mike was the type of person
who no matter what you asked of
him, he was always willing to lend
a helping hand to everybody, said
Deborah Schreiner, chief of
HAZMAT Training at the
Defense Ammunition Center,
Oklahoma, where Sauro was
assigned. He was such a joy to
work with and always so upbeat.
The Defense Department
initially said in a statement that
the men died Thursday, but later
confirmed the deaths were
Wednesday. NATO and an
Afghan official said a man wearing

an Afghan army uniform had

killed a U.S. service member and
an American civilian Wednesday
in Kabul. NATO said another
U.S. service member and two
U.S. civilians were wounded in
the attack.
Riney entered active-duty
service in July 2012 as a petroleum
supply specialist, the military said.
He had been assigned to the
Support Squadron, 3rd Cavalry
Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division at
Fort Hood, Texas, since

BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D., AND MEHMET OZ, M.D.

Coping with a compulsive liar; pomegranates
Q: My new boss lies all the time,
claims hes accomplished things he
never did (like winning golf club
championships and earning an MBA
we did some research!), and takes
credit for other peoples work. My
whole department is in chaos. What
should we do? Marlane M., Dallas
A: Those who have only a passing
acquaintance with the truth are difficult
to deal with, especially when theyre in a
position of authority. Plus, its very hard
to understand why your boss would continue to lie when, with a little factchecking, it was easy to prove thats what
hes doing. But there are positive ways to
deal with this situation.
Neurologists say that pathological
lying is a mental disorder called behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia
(bvFTD) and/or is characterized by
changes in the brains prefrontal white
matter. But psychiatrists say it takes stimulation from environmental triggers and
emotional reactions to various forms of
stress, from rejection to abuse, to make
the behavior bloom. And the DSM
(Diagnostic and Symptoms Manual) says
that in someone with antisocial personality disorder, a long-term pattern of
manipulating, exploiting or violating the
rights of others, habitual lying indicates a
lack of emotion and coldness.
What are your options? Confronting a
fabricator usually is ineffective, unless
the person wants to change. So, in your
work situation, document the untruths
and deceptions. Then you and your coworkers can make a verifiable presentation to your bosss boss. Frame it in the
context of whats best for your company,
and you might end up with a positive
change.
For anyone living with a compulsive
liar, coping is more difficult. If the person
doesnt recognize the behavior as a problem, it is hard for him or her to maintain
relationships, have close friends and
avoid burning bridges in everyday life
and business. But if your loved one is
receptive, there are treatments that can
work, including talk therapy, antiaddiction programs and antidepressant
medications. It is always worth trying to
help create positive change.
Q: Im intrigued by pomegranates,
but how do you get those seeds out of

them, and do they really deliver on the

nutritional hype the ads seem to
promise? Shirley K., Boise, Idaho
A: Pomegranates are a wonderful fruit
tasty and packed with phytonutrients,
vitamin C, potassium, fiber and the
antioxidants ellagic acid and punic alagin
(they fight damage from free radicals and
preserve collagen in your skin). We love
their seeds (called arils), juiced, tossed
into salads, sprinkled on a bowl of oatmeal or dropped into a cup of tea for
added flavor. But how do you get the
seeds out of the fruit without making a
mess?
Well, there are two effective techniques. First, the dry method (Dr. Ozs
choice): Using a sharp knife, score the
pomegranate around its equator, cutting
about 1/16 of an inch into the skin. Put
the knife down. Use your fingertips to
work apart the pomegranates two
halves. Once apart, take one half (seeds
facing up) and gently stretch the skin
away from the center. Youll see and feel
the white membrane (pith) that holds the
seeds loosen. Now flip it seed side down,
holding the half in one hand over a deep
bowl with sides. Take the flat side of a
wooden kitchen spoon and smack the
skin. The arils will start dropping out.
Keep rotating the fruit as you spank it,
until you get all the seeds.
For the water method (Dr. Mikes preference), wash the skin well. Then roll the
fruit on a countertop to soften it up. Next,
cut off the crown. Now youre going to
score the fruit from top to bottom in quarters. Then submerge the fruit in a bowl of
water for a few minutes. Next, keeping
your hands and the pomegranate underwater, break it apart. Use your fingers to
separate the arils (they sink) from the pith
(it floats). Pour the water off and rinse the
seeds in a sieve. Theyre in season from
October into November. Go for it!

weighing Keystone XL decision

By MICHAEL BIESECKER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Hacked
emails show Hillary Clintons
campaign wrestled with how to
announce her opposition to
construction of the controversial
Keystone XL pipeline without
losing the support of labor unions
that supported to project.
Emails published this week by
WikiLeaks show debate and
confusion within the Clinton camp
as it faced down the unexpectedly
strong primary challenge by liberal
Sen. Bernie Sanders, who opposed
the pipeline.
As Clinton prepared to come out
against the pipeline last year, her
aides worried about how her shift
in position would be perceived.
Clinton press secretary Brian
Fallon asked in an email whether
the candidates newfound position
on Keystone would be greeted
cynically and perhaps as part of
some manufactured attempt to
project sincerity?
The emails were stolen from the
accounts of Clinton campaign
chairman John Podesta, the latest
in a series of high-profile hacks that
U.S. intelligence officials have
blamed on Russia. Clinton has
condemned the breaches as an
attempt by a hostile foreign
government to sway the election in
favor of her Republican rival,
Donald Trump.
For seven years, the administration of President Barack Obama
delayed deciding whether to build
the pipeline to carry heavy crude oil
from the tar sands of western
Canada more than 1,700 miles to
refineries on the U.S Gulf Coast.
The pipeline had long been a flashpoint in the political debate over
climate change, with environmentalists opposing its construction
and Republicans in Congress
voicing strong support.
As secretary of state, Clinton
helped oversee the federal
governments yearslong review of
the pipelines economic and
environmental impact. Asked
about the issue in 2010, Clinton

said: Weve not yet signed off on it.

But we are inclined to do so.
But once she left the State
Department and began preparing
for her presidential run, Clinton
studiously avoided taking a hard
position on whether the pipeline
should be built. Emails show that
throughout 2015, Clintons aides
were awaiting word on when
Obama would come out against
the pipeline, offering Clinton a
measure of political cover to do the
same.
Clinton campaign labor liaison
Nikki Budzinski and others warned
that opposing the Keystone
pipeline might earn the ire of union
leaders who supported the pipeline
due to the thousands of
construction jobs that would be
created. Political director Amanda
Renteria offered reassurance in an
August 2015 email that even if
Obama took that position, the
campaign could still keep support
of the trade unions.
We are so close to getting bldg
trades and if we do this right, it will
be ok even though they wont like
it, Renteria wrote.
Energy adviser Trevor Houser
circulated talking points intended
to minimize potential political
damage.
They
emphasized
Clintons broader energy plans for
the presidency, which would
include infrastructure programs
with enough spending and job
creation to mollify specific labor
groups, including ironworkers,
boilermakers and electricians.
We are trying to find a good way

to leak her opposition to the

pipeline without her having to
actually say it and give up her
principled stand about not secondguessing the president in public,
speechwriter
Dan
Clinton
Schwerin wrote.
As the Clinton team prepared to
announce her opposition to the
pipeline, they heard that Obama
had again pushed back his
announcement until late October.
Clinton aides speculated that the
delay was due to political considerations involving the Canadian
election, where Liberal Party leader
Justin Trudeau was working to oust
Conservative Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, an ardent
Keystone proponent.
Concerned about the primary
threat from Sanders, Clintons
team decided not to wait on
Obama. They drafted a statement
for her which uses opposition to
KXL as a pivot to talk about a plan
for broad investment in modernizing our energy infrastructure and
forging a climate compact between
the US, Mexico and Canada.
According to the emails, the
planned rollout was designed to
soften the blow to the Building
Trades with scripted language
about making the US the leader in
fighting climate change and
becoming a clean energy superpower.
Budzinski provided an update on
how efforts to work with various
labor unions were going in
September 2015.
Great news that today we

received
the
Bricklayers
endorsement coming out of the
meeting today. They brought
checks today :) Budzinski wrote.
She also detailed talks with the
national building trades union,
saying they appreciated Clinton
being candid and up front with
them on a difficult issue like KXL.
Budzinski added not to worry
about reports that the Laborers
International Union of North
America was reaching out to
Republicans.
That is for show, she wrote.
On Sept. 22, 2015, Clinton
appeared at a community forum in
Des Moines, Iowa.
I think it is imperative that we
look at the Keystone pipeline as
what I believe it is a distraction
from important work we have to do
on climate change, Clinton said.
And unfortunately from my
perspective, one that interferes
with our ability to move forward
with all the other issues. Therefore
I oppose it.
Obama finally announced in
November 2015 that the pipeline
project would be shelved.
The right call, Clinton tweeted
in response to the presidents
announcement. Now its time to
make America a clean energy
superpower.

OKLAHOMA
CITY

Oklahoma and at least two other

states said Friday that they have
denied efforts by Russian officials
to be present at polling stations
during the election, requests the
U.S.
State
Departments
spokesman dismissed as nothing
more than a PR stunt.
The Oklahoma secretary of
states office said it received a
letter in August from Russias
consulate general in Houston
seeking to have one of its officers
present at a voting precinct to
study the US experience in
organization of voting process.
But the office denied the request,
noting Oklahoma law prohibits
anyone except election officials
and voters from being present
while voting is taking place.
Election officials in Louisiana
and Texas said they denied similar
requests from Russian officials.
Republican
presidential
nominee Donald Trump has faced
criticism for suggesting the
election might be rigged, and
the U.S. earlier this month
accused Russia of coordinating
the theft and disclosure of emails

from the Democratic National

Committee and other institutions
and individuals in the U.S. to
influence the outcome of the
election.
Thousands of hacked emails
from accounts of individuals
within Democratic nominee
Hillary Clintons campaign have
been posted on the website of the
WikiLeaks organization. Russian
officials have denied their
involvement in the cyberattacks.
While there is a formal process
for foreign governments to
observe U.S. elections, individual
states maintain the authority to
approve or deny those requests,
said
State
Department
spokesman Mark Toner.
Any suggestion that we
rejected Russias proposal to
observe our elections is false,
Toner said in a statement.
Individual parties foreign
governments, NGOs, etc. are
welcome to apply to state governments to observe our elections.
Russia hasnt participated in an
international mission to observe
elections, so its effort to do so on
the state level represents nothing
more than a PR stunt, Toner said.

Ghostland is a just right fright

Everything seems a little eerier
lately, doesnt it?
Maybe thats because the days
are shorter and nights throw
shadows. The wind blows a little
differently. Newly-bare branches
look like skeletal fingers and
pumpkins guard the house next
door, making things feel a bit unsettling. Tis the season - or maybe, as
in the new book Ghostland by
Colin Dickey, history is to blame.
Do you believe in ghosts? If the
answer is affirmative, youre in
good company; says Colin Dickey,
nearly half of all Americans say they
do and almost a third of us claim to
have seen one. And if we believe in
ghosts, its natural to tell stories
about them; Pliny the Younger did,
which means ghost stories have
been around awhile.
For several years, Dickey
traveled the country looking for
such tales, and they werent hard to
find: nearly every town of any size
lays claim to some sort of haunting.
The real stories, however, are where
those legends originated.
Take Salem , Massachusetts , for
instance. As the tale goes, a small
group of teenage girls accused
some townspeople of witchcraft,
and residents were put to death for
it. Whats mi$$ing from the legend,
says Dickey, is money.
Or take the Winchester House in
San Jose . Yes, its sprawling and
weird, but the myth of the spirits of
gun-murder victims is not quite
right. Sarah Winchester had
purchased
an
unassuming
farmhouse and undertook the vast
project to make room for visiting
family. Says Dickey, At some
point, the perpetual building seems
to have become a pretense to keep
her family away.
In his quest for the creepy,
Dickey spent the night in a

mansion once owned by a cursed
family (and slept well). He
examined a haunted toy store, and
a hotel that spawned a novel. He
noted that all the ghosts in one
haunted area were white, despite
that slave auctions happened just
down the road. He looked at
Indian burial grounds and,
indeed, many moldering old
cemeteries and churchyards
including both in Louisiana , where
hauntings are frightfully common.
And yes, he found unexplainable
things.
The dead are watching, he says,
whether or not we choose to listen

to their stories.
No two ways about it: things go
bump in the night. But according
to author Colin Dickey, there
might be a perfectly good reason
for that. Maybe.
And thats what makes
Ghostland so darn fun to read:
the maybe inside the stories we
love to tell on dark, quiet nights.
That maybe here leaves the door
open for possibilities and on that
note, Dickey strikes a great balance
between too much examination

and just-right, between debunking

old stories and letting readers
decide whats a haunt and whats
not. He informs us with
sometimes-surprising
storiesbehind-the-story, then leaves us to
stew in our own fears.
Best of all, you can still take this
book to bed with you: its factual
and even educational, but not so
much that it fails to thrill. For
readers of erudite eeriness, that
makes Ghostland a just right
fright.

Deer signs are posted where

usually travel in groups. When one
deer crosses the road, there may be
others about to cross. Slow down
and watch for others to dart into
the road.
If deer are grazing or standing
near the highway, slow down and
stay alert. Deer can be unpredictable and may be startled by
headlights, horns sounding and fast
moving traffic.
The most serious accidents
occur when drivers lose control of
their vehicles trying to avoid an

strike the deer than another object

To support or not
to support that
is the question
I am reaching out here to ask a
question. Does it seem we are
always being asked to support this,
that, and the other cause?
Everywhere we turn, someone
wants a piece of our pie. Just how
many pieces can we cut our pie
into? Rather than getting upset or
being angry, I look for the positive.
We live in a wonderful country
that allows us to make decisions.
When it comes to helping others,
we get to choose who we help and
how we help.
Sometimes I choose to help
with a little money from my
pocket and other times I volunteer
in some way. More times than I
like to admit, I have to say No.
Almost always, I wish I could do
more. Being realistic though, I
realize I cannot solve the worlds
problems. I do have just one pie.
However, I can make small differences in this world which I am
blessed to be in. So, as you
ponder what these questions
mean to you, know that the
decisions you make are right for
you. You can and do make a
difference.

The Oct. 18 meeting of the Col. John Seward

Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution
was called to order at 7:43 p. m. in the Burgundy
Room at the Liberal Inn by President Ray Dee
Rinehart.
Those in attendance were: Ray Dee and wife,
Karen (Cimarron River Chapter of DAR); Larry
Phillips (Secretary); Carl Holmes (Treasurer);
Duane Willsey (Chaplain) and wife, Becky
(Byrd Prewitt Chapter of DAR); Dr. Ray Allen
and wife, Nancy; Sam Raff and wife, Bonnie
(Cimarron River Chapter of DAR); Robert
Caraway and wife, Lola (Byrd Prewitt Chapter
of DAR).
Members followed the invocation by Duane.
Ray Dee led members in the Pledge to the
SAR.
The official program was presented by Carl, a
video presentation of the American Revolution
series.
It detailed how close Canada was to becoming
another state in the forthcoming United States
of America. After the French province of
Quebec had been ceded to Britain, Canada was
headed by Britains Sir Guy Carlton, who had a
small army in 1775 when the colonists Benedict
Arnold and Ethan Allen took Fort Ticonderoga.
He feared the colonists may want to take
Canada as well.
He wasnt wrong. Benedict Arnold wanted to
immediately move north and take Quebec.
However, George Washington wanted Arnold

and one of his Generals, Philip John Schuylar, to

work up a sound plan first. Schuylar
(pronounced Sky-ler) and one of his
commanders, Richard Montgomery, decided
they would first take Fort Saint John (Jean), and
then hook up with Arnold to move on to
Montreal and then take Quebec.
Montgomery got impatient and took off for
Fort Saint John first and bungled the initial
attack. Schuylar saw it as a disaster, so he
feigned gout and withdrew back to Ticonderoga
with his troops.
After several weeks, Montgomery finally got
the forces at Fort Saint John to surrender, but
the battle had cost Carlton about half his forces,
and he amassed all of them to defend Montreal.
Meanwhile, Arnold moved his 500 men
further north toward Quebec, so Carlton hastily
took his forces north and arrived in Quebec
before Arnold. Arnold didnt realize Carlton
only had 200 soldiers defending Quebec, and
awaited reenforcements from Montgomery, who
actually showed up with only 200 fighters.
Had Arnold attacked earlier (winter was
setting in), he most likely would have defeated
Carlton, and Canada would be in the hands of
the colonists. As it happened, Carlton successfully held off Arnold and Montgomerys fighters
until a British Flotilla arrived with additional
troops and supplies.
Hard winter also assisted in breaking the will
of the colonists keeping Canada in Britains
control. Carlton actually then counter-charged
and chased them back to Fort Ticonderoga.
Washington then looked to move about 160

pieces of artillery they had captured at Ticonderoga (howitzers, mortars, canons; 3-pounders
and 6-pounders) back to Boston, Britains
headquarters. He selected a 25-year-old
bookkeeper, Henry Knox, who devised sleds,
wagons, etc, and moved all the artillery, powder
and balls and shells over tortuous terrain back to
Boston.
The final wagons pulled up north of Boston
just as the British were evacuating Boston
forever. The Brits moved 9,000 people on 72
ships out of the harbor and headed to New York.
The last ship was departing the harbor as the
final pieces of artillery arrived on the hills north
of Boston.
Carl will present another part of the series at
the Nov. meeting.
Ray Dee has decided to attend the States
SAR Governors Meeting inn early November in
Emporia.
The secretarys report on Augusts meeting
minutes was approved.
Carls Treasurers report showed the same
amounts as last month $3, 030. 60 in our
account with $1, 002 of that in the Library
account. It was also unanimously approved.
Members cited the SAR Recessional, and
Duane gave the benediction.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:42 p.m.
Anyone in the public at large is encouraged to
contact Ray Dee at 629-1699 if they are interested in becoming members of our local
SAR chapter. The chapter does all the
necessary genealogy work at little or no cost to
prospective members.

Hints from
Heloise

Doggy dont-dos

Sudoku Answers

Dear Readers: Our pets are so loving

and patient with us, but do you think
there are things we do that THEY
DONT LIKE? Yep, there are. Here are
a few:
* Inconsistency. Dont praise the dog
and give him a snack after he jumps on
you if you are training him not to jump.
* Meeting lots of new people. This
can overwhelm the dog. He needs to
know who is in his pack (family). If he
is meeting many people, he will be
confused.
* Waking them up/sneaking up on
them. Who would like this? Its not
funny; teach kids not to tease the dog.
* Hugging. Many dogs dont like
this. It can be scary, and they can feel
trapped.
* Changing routines. Keeping the
dog on schedule makes everything run
more smoothly. The dog needs to feel
comfortable and confident in everyday
living.

PET PAL

Dear Readers: Sarah A. in Austin,

Texas, sent a picture of her silly 9-yearold chocolate Lab, Murphy Brown.
Murphy is patiently sporting his
favorite chew toy on his head, until
Sarah gives the command to release it!
Such a sweet and obedient boy! To see
Murphy Brown and our other Pet Pals,

PRETTY PEDIS

Dear Heloise: Even though fall is

here, I still like to keep my feet and
toes pretty. Here are some hints I use:
P

* Clean nails are a must. Soak, gently scrub and exfoliate feet and toes.
Dry thoroughly.
* Clip nails straight across, and file
lightly to smooth.
* A base coat is a good idea.
* Two or three thin coats is better
than one thick coat.
* Sparkly polishes add glow to the
feet and can last longer than matte colors. Those sparkly flecks of metal
thicken the polish.
* After polishing, I wait about five
minutes to add a top coat.

COVERED BOXES

Dear Heloise: When I moved into

my home, I discovered lots of wasted
space in the kitchen cupboards. I
couldnt find boxes or baskets that
would fit them, so I took apart
corrugated-cardboard diaper boxes and
re-worked them to fit the shelves.
Then I hot-glued thin batting to them
and glued on heavyweight cotton fabric. Voil! Beautiful custom storage
boxes! Dawn L., Woodstock, Ohio
GRIPPER TIP

Dear Heloise: I have discovered a

valuable tip. I have a pair of boots with
hook-and-loop closures. The closures
were covered in lint and fuzz. I thought
I had to give up wearing the boots anywhere except in the garden!
I decided to give it one last try, and
used a cat flea comb on it. It worked
wonders. I simply combed the closure, and all the fuzz came off.
This would be especially useful for
parents whose children have jackets
with these closures. Pat J., Essex,
Ontario, Canada

Horoscope

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

Note: Bigars Stars is based on the

degree of your sun at birth. The sign
name is simply a label astrologers put on
a set of degrees for convenience. For best
results, readers should refer to the dates
following each sign.
A baby born today has a Sun in Scorpio
and a Moon in Leo if born before 11:35
a.m. (EST). Afterward, the Moon will be
in Virgo.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Oct.

24, 2016:
This year you often find yourself in the
limelight. You become a leader or someone whom many people seek out. This
type of responsibility might feel heavy.
Get plenty of rest, and dont hesitate to
say no to any request that does not suit
you. It is important to honor your needs
first. If you are single, many opportunities to meet people emerge. If you are
authentic and open to meeting someone,
you will. If you are attached, you and
your sweetie need to make your bond a
high priority. Otherwise, your busy
schedules could prevent you from spending quality time together. LEO can challenge you.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day Youll
Have:
5-Dynamic;
4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

#### Your spontaneity and impulsiveness will be met with cheers and
applause. At times, others cant seem to
deal with your high energy, but today is
the exception. A discussion could go
from what is fair to what is possible.
Tonight: Already dreaming up a new set
of weekend plans.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
### You could be having a difficult
time handling the various forces around
you. Fatigue marks your decisions, and
you might decide to stay close to home.
Postpone what you can. Why put your-

self in a difficult situation unnecessarily?

Tonight: Be more direct with others.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
#### You will state your case clearly
in a conversation about a businessrelated matter. Others might greet your
clarity with tension. For some reason,
they seem to feel that it would be better
to dismiss the issue than to deal with it
head-on. Tonight: Catch up on a pals
news.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
#### You and an associate differ on
how to handle a financial matter.
Whereas you opt for a more traditional
approach, this person seems to want to
take a risk and completely revamp the
situation. Tap into your creativity to find
a resolution. Tonight: Reach out for more
information.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
##### You might feel as if you are
close to unstoppable. Unexpected news
heads your way that could stop you in
your tracks. Considering the source, you
probably should not be surprised. Sort
fact from fiction with the knowledge that
there are other answers. Tonight: Feel
your Wheaties.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
### Someone you deal with on a oneon-one level could surprise you. What
would be great is a change of direction.
You might not be prepared to make any
decisions just yet. Mull over your ideas,
and test out your thoughts on a responsive friend. Tonight: First nap, then
decide.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
### Friends will play a significant role
in your decisions. A loved one could be
unusually volatile and difficult to
approach. If you touch base with this person during the day, you might find yourself in a tizzy. Honor a need for space
and thought. Tonight: Say little.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
##### Dont hesitate to clearly state
your desires to a higher-up. This persons
response is likely to surprise you; it also

could throw you into limbo. You might

not know what to do next. Maintain a
strong profile and say little. Tonight:
Nap, but be open to a late invitation.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
#### Take an overview, even if someone does something to throw you off.
You might be more triggered than you
would like to let on. Do some networking
and some much-needed research on a
key issue. Know that you will need to
make a decision soon. Tonight: Relax if
you can.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
#### Close relating often brings positive results. You might be sitting on an
unpredictable issue that has the capacity
to become even more unstable. Defer to
someone you trust who gives you strong
feedback. Try to read between the lines
with a loved one. Tonight: Defer, if need
be.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
##### You could be in a situation
where you will want to revise your thinking. Ask more questions if you are unsure
of what to do. A conversation might open
new doors. You will have a lot going on
that you will need to check out. Tonight:
Let others run with the moment.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
#### You might be handling a lot
more than you had intended to. A financial issue could blow up. Allow greater
give-and-take. Go with the moment, but
question what is happening with a coworker or friend. This person might be
upsetting you without intending to.
Tonight: Relax.

What started with a promising 65-yard scoring drive in the
first two minutes of the game ended with a disappointing
loss after the Liberal Redskins gave up the highest point total
of the season in a 60-34 loss to Dodge City Friday night at
Redskin Field.
Liberals defense could not contain junior quarterback
Dawson Williams who gashed the defense for 386 yards and
six touchdowns.
Williams didnt hurt the Redskins with his arm, completing
only one pass for 54 yards but also throwing an interception
for a Redskin touchdown.
It was his legs that did the damage.
Williams carried the ball 17 times and scored on six of
those carries with scoring runs of 29, 22, 31, 49, 55 and 61
yards.
The last touchdown run came in the final minute of the
game when the Red Demons had a 63-34 lead and after the
second string ran its only possession of the game.
Dodge City coach David Foster went back to his starters
including Williams, and Williams ran the identical play that
led to his previous five touchdowns for 61 yards, passing the
Redskin linemen after keeping the ball from the shotgun,
sliding up the middle, and once he was in the defensive
backfield, he simply sprinted by Redskin defenders to the
end zone like he had five times before, adding distance
between himself and the nearest Redskin.
At first, it looked like it might be the Red Demon defense
that was going to have trouble stopping the run.
Liberal took the opening kickoff to the 35 yard line and
only needed four plays to score the games first touchdown.
Freshman Syris Dunlap picked up 13 yards on the first
rush of the night, and he added a 47-yard scamper that set
up a four-yard touchdown run by Cesar Burciaga for the 70 lead.
But Dodge City answered on their first play from
scrimmage when Tylor Garcia took the shotgun hand off
from Williams and ran untouched for 80 yards to tie the
game 7-7.
When a Liberal drive stalled at midfield, Dodge City only
needed five plays to move the ball 50 yards including a 29yard touchdown run by Williams to take a 14-7 lead.
A quick three-and-out by the Redskins put the ball back in
Williams hands at the Liberal 44, and three plays later
Williams ran the quarterback keeper for a 22-yard
touchdown and a 21-7 lead.
Liberal failed to convert a fourth-and-4 at the redskin 44
yard line, and five plays later Williams ran the quarterback
keeper for 31 yards and a touchdown, and Dodge City had
a 28-7 lead.

Liberals Cesar Burciaga breaks free around the right side for a 20-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter Friday at
Redskin Field. Burciaga and the Redskins scored 34 points, but they could not find a way to stop Dodge City in a 70-34 loss.
L&T photo/Earl Watt
A three-and-out for the Redskin defense led to another
midfield opportunity for the Red Demons, and Williams
broke free ona quarterback keeper on the first play from
scrimmage for 49 yards and another touchdown for a 35-7
lead.
Liberal put together a drive that pushed the ball out to the
50, but a fumble gave the Red Demons another short field,
and four plays later Payson Hatfield scored on a three-yard
sweep for a 42-7 Dodge City lead, and the Gae was still in

the first half.

Liberal put together a nine-play drive, but time expired
with the Redskins inside the Red Demon 40 yard line.
Dodge City took the second half kick-off, and they didnt
need Williams, instead breaking free on the return for 96
yards and a touchdown by returner Samuel Unruh, and the
Red Demons had a 49-7 lead in the first 15 seconds of the
second half.

Redskins

I Continued from Page 1C

Liberal punted on its frist

possession, and Dodge City took
over at the Red Demon 18 yard
line.
The Redskins came out with a
six-man front to stop the run, and it
forced Dodge City to look to the
air.
After two incompletions and a
scramble by Williams, a quick pass
to the sideline found Juan Gomez,
and the Redskins were right on top
of him to make the tackle, but
Gomez broke free from two
Redskins, and he scampered 52
yards to the Redskin 2 yard line.
Dodge scored on the next play to
take a 56-7 lead.
Dodge City muffed a punt, and
the Redskins converted by moving
the ball 20 yards on five plays
including a 13-yard touchdown run
by Burciaga in fourth-and-3 to cut
the lead to 45-13.
The Redskins onside the kick-off
and recovered it at the Dodge City
40 yard line.
Six plays later, Burciaga broke
free for a 20-yard touchdown run,
and the Redskins cut the lead to

56-20.
With the six-man line disrupting
the Red Demon offense, Williams
again tried to pass, but the ball
deflected off his receiver and into
the arms of Liberals Ty Johnson
who ran 63 yards to the goal line
before he fumbled into the end
zone where the ball was recovered
by Alex Yanez for a Redskin
touchdown, and Liberal cut the
Dodge lead to 56-26.
But the Red Demons put
together a seven-play, 80-yard
scoring drive that included another
long Williams touchdown run, this
one for 55 yards, and Dodge City
had a 63-26 lead midway through
the fourth quarter.
After the two teams traded
punts, including the only
possession for the Red Demon
second string, Liberal put together
a four-play scoring drive that
covered 40 yards and ended with a
two-yard touchdown plunge by
Zach Mansell, and Liberal cut the
lead to 63-34 with 1:12 to play.
Dodge City coach Dave Foster
put his starting offense back on the
field at the Red Demon 39 yard
line, and Williams finished with a

61-yard touchdown run and a 7034 Red Demon win.

Its not his job to keep points off
the board, Liberal coach Caleb
Cline said. Thats our job. Its not
like he came out and threw it deep.
They ran the same play theyve
been running all night long. They
ran right up A gap, and if you cant
stop it, they arent going to tell a kid
take a knee and stay out of the end
zone. Maybe it was for yards or to
show the score was not what it
looked like on the field. We have to
stop offenses from scoring.
Liberals defenders were getting
too deep in the backfield,
according to Cline, and that
allowed the big runs.
We have to be disciplined on the
defensive line not to climb up
field, he said. You climb up field
you are an easy block. We have to
maintain gap integrity. Even with a
six-man front.
Syris Dunlap had his third 100plus yard game, getting 109 yards
on 12 carries with limited duty in
the second half.
Burciaga led the redskins with
137 yards and two touchdowns on
22 carries.
Liberal (4-4) finished eighth in
the West Division and hosts No. 9
Emporia (3-5) at 6 p.m. Friday to
open the Class 5A playoffs..

Offense making the grade, defense lagging

4&

There was good and bad Friday night

against the Dodge City Red Demons.

th

GOAL

EARL WATT

Lets start with the bad.

Liberal gave up the most points it has surrendered all
year with 70 to the Red Demons.
Granted, the last touchdown may have been cheap on
the Red Demons part, sportsmanship is not required,
and if the opponent wants to risk their season by playing
their starting quarterback in the final minute with a 29point lead, thats their choice.
Liberals defense was simply disappointing on the
interior.
Its a problem that head coach caleb Cline is clearly
aware of, and he has properly evaluated that excessive
penetration can provide running gaps.
But the execution on the field from the valuation on
the sideline isnt happening, and the result was 15 plays
for 11 yards are more and four plays of 50 yards or more.
If you can gash the line, you can cut your way to the
end zone.
Its very simple games are won or lost at the line,
and the Redskin defense isnt getting it done at the line

in the past two games.

Now the good.
A year ago, Liberal lost 69-0. They have found a way
since then to move the ball. Its not fancy, but it is
effective. Liberals offense ran 63 plays of offense and
gained 337 yards and scored four times.
The defense added a touchdown on a turnover.
Putting 34 points on the board is clearly a program
taking steps in the right direction.
Finishing 4-4 in the regular season is taking a step in
the right direction.
Hosting a playoff game is a step in the right direction.
Liberal is improving, no question about it.
In only his third year as a head coach, Caleb Cline is
the model of the even keel, never too high, never too
low, and that will be needed to keep the program moving
forward.
But the defense will have to turn a corner if the
program is going to continue to make the move to
competitiveness in the WAC. Scoring 34 is great, but not
when you give up 70.
The signs are there on offense. Now its time to see
the defense take a step forward.

Turnovers lead to third straight loss for Turpin

By JASON EPP
Leader &Times
Okla.
Four
TURPIN,
turnovers over a six possession
stretch proved to be too costly for
the Cardinals who dropped their
third straight 54-34 to the Seiling
Wildcats.
"Way too many turnovers,"
Cardinals coach Justin Hanna said.
"You can't turn the ball over that
many times and beat a team as
good as Seiling. That's what it came
down too."
How big were the turnovers? The
Cardinal offense scored touchdowns on the other two drives
during that six drive stretch, and
scored on the drive before and after
as well.
Even after two turnovers Turpin
still moved within six points late in
the third quarter when Trevor Mote
connected with Hunter Clark for a
30-yard touchdown pass and catch
that made the score 34-28 in
Seiling's favor.
Turpin had a golden opportunity
to tie the game or take the lead on
the next possession when Derek
Ducimetiere caught a Mote pass
and traversed 42-yards. But
Ducimetiere coughed up the ball at
the end of the long run, and Seiling

recovered.
Turpin never did as Seiling scored
on their next three possesions to go
up 54-28. Turpin did mount one
more drive, a 7-play 71-yard
scoring drive capped by a 7-yard
run by Mote.
"Being senior night, I was proud
of the way they played and led,"
Hanna said. "Their effort was very
good and that trickled down to our
underclassmen and they fought
hard for the seniors as well."
In the first half, Turpin received
the opening kickoff and ate up
almost eight minutes of clock time
with a 19-play, 70-yard drive. Mote
passed to Ducimetiere for an 8yard TD on fourth and four and
Turpin took an 8-0 lead.
Seiling struck back quickly, tying
the game less than a minute later.
Turpin struggled on their next two
possessions as Seiling built a 22-8
lead. Turpin then answered with a
3-play, 61 yard drive capped by an
11-yard TD run by Mote to cut the
lead to 22-16. Seiling scored once
more to make the halftime score
28-16.
Turpin finished the game with
456 yards of offense on 79 plays.
The Cardinals rushed 48 times for
270 yards (5.6 yards per carry) and
three TDs. Turpin completed 12

passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns.

Trevor Mote rushed 27 times for
136 yards and 2 TDs. Mote was 12
of 31 passing for 186 yards, 2 TDs
and an interception. Alex Jimenez
rushed 20 times for 93 yards and a
TD and caught 2 passes for 33
yards. Derek Ducimetiere had four
catches for 65 yards and a
touchdown and one carry for 41
yards. Hunter Clark caught five
passes for 65 yards and a TD.
Turpin (4-4) will travel to Canton

next Friday in need of a win to

make the playoffs.
"I told our kids after the game,
here's where we're at the two
goals that this program prides itself
on is making the playoffs and
having winning seasons, and that's
what we started here," Hanna said.
"As rough as these last three weeks
have been, those two goals are still
on the board. We win out, we make
the playoffs and have a winning
record. We have to go forward and
go get those two goals."

Bobcats bomb Boise City, 50-0

By JASON EPP
Leader &Times
TYRONE, Okla. Seven plays. Thats all the
Tyrone first team offense needed to go up 44-0
midway through the second quarter before
reserves came in to finish the first half. Thirteen
seconds into the second half it was all over as
Antonio Pacheco returned the kickoff 76 yards
to end the game by mercy rule, 50-0 over the
Boise City Wildcats, and for the Bobcats to lay
claim their first playoff game in 20 years.
I knew when they kicked it deep that might
be it, because of Antonios (Pacheco) speed,
Bobcats head coach Josh Bell said. We were
actually hoping to get our twos a little more
playing time, but you cant tell the kids not to go
hard. Were happy with our efforts. We were able
to get some different kids playing time at the
end of the first half and with Willie (Slater) out
we had some different kids playing at defensive
end and tight end. We had some mistakes, but
after 20 years of not making the playoffs it was
nice to clinch a spot on homecoming night.
Tyrone scored on each offensive possession,
and never took more than two plays. Tyrone
racked up 333 yards despite just 12 offensive
plays the entire game to average an unbelievable
27.8 yards per play. All of that with one of their
senior starters, Willie Slater sitting out the game
for precautionary reasons.
Boise City ran 36 plays for 142 yards, all on
the ground.
Boise City threatened just once when they
moved to the Tyrone 10-yard line and faced a
fourth and four. But Josh Bean and Jonathan
Corrales busted through on a blitz and ended
the threat when they dropped the Boise City
back for a loss.
Two plays later, Josh Bean scored his second
TD of the game on a 70-yard run that put the
Bobcats up 30-0 with 8:42 still left in the half.
Tannner Hurst scored from 77 yards out on
the next possession, then 13 seconds later

Pacheco recovered a Boise City fumble and took
it to the house to make the score 44-0 with 5:46
left in the half.
Bell inserted his second team offense for the
two-point conversion knowing a successful try
could end the game at half if it was good. The
Bobcat reserves finished out the final half of the
second quarter.
Tanner Jones rushed three times for 147 yards
and two TDs. Josh Bean rushed twice for 78

yards and a pair of TDs. Antonio Pacheco

scored an offensive touchdown (41-yard run),
defensive touchdown (21-yard fumble recovery
and return) and a special teams touchdown (76yard kickoff return).
No.3 Tyrone (7-0, 5-0) will travel to
Timberlake Friday. A win would most likely give
the Bobcats a home playoff game and give them
a shot at the district title, their first in over 40
years, the following week.

SCCC responds with optimism to KJCAA rule change

Spcial to the Leader &Times
The Kansas Jayhawk Community College
Conference (KJCCC) held a special meeting
Thursday to address roster and scholarship
limitations. The meeting resulted in two bylaw
changes.
Beginning with the 2017-2018
academic year, the KJCCC will be
comprised
of
institutions
competing at the NJCAA
Division I and Division II levels
and will follow NJCAA roster
limits for all participating sports.
This change removes previous
KJCCC out-of-state and roster
size limitations.
Seward County Athletics Director
Galen McSpadden supports the change.
I have been in this league for 36 years now
and have great respect for the KJCCC,
McSpadden said. However, national competitiveness has progressed past the limitations of
our conference. This is a great opportunity for
our 19 institutions to not only give themselves a
chance to compete nationally with other teams
in their declared division of the NJCAA, but also
to give many more opportunities both athletically and academically, to student-athletes from
all over.
SCCC President, Dr. Ken Trzaska, shares the
focus on growth and potential, both in terms of
the institution, its athletic programs, and the

(620) 563-7102

lives of individual student-athletes.

At this point in our college story, we have an
opportunity to build on the strengths laid on
place by so many people over nearly 50 years,
Trzaska said. To move into the next 50 years,
and really flourish, we have to be cognizant of
how to run the organization in a way
that enables more students to
participate, and more growth to
happen.
Multiple attempts have
been made throughout the
past 10 years to loosen the
tight restrictions that the
KJCCC puts on its institutions, but with 2/3rds approval
needed to pass any new proposals,
changes have been few and far
between. Over the past few years, the state
organization has become increasingly aware that
the original restrictions set up in the early 1950s
contained racial bias typical of that era. In
August, Garden City Community College
coach Jeff Sims and 49 players filed discrimination complaints with the NAACP, contending
that the conference rule violates the Civil Rights
Act of 1964.
The KJCCC also passed scholarship changes
to begin with the 2018-2019 academic year.
These changes align with NJCAA guidelines. If
a new bylaw is not passed related to scholarship
limitations at the April 2017 KJCCC meeting,
then beginning with the 2020 academic year, the

bylaw would revert back to the current KJCCC

scholarship limitations.
In regard to SCCC allocation of scholarship
funds provided through the SCCC Foundation,
McSpadden said the rule change will not preempt standing policies created by the
Foundation.
This isnt about expending a higher amount
of institutional dollars or resources on any of our
athletic programs McSpadden said. It gives
our coaches and staff the opportunity and flexibility to manage the resources that are currently
allotted to them, under the NJCAA guidelines.
Change can be a little bit scary, Trzaska said,
but the main focus of our college, our mission,
stays the same.
Dr. Mike Calvert, president of KJCCC,
described the meeting as one of positive
dialogue that resulted in unanimous support,
proving that the conference is united and
moving forward together.
Both bylaw changes were passed unanimously.
There is symbolic value in our 19 college
delivering a unanimous vote, Trzaska said. It
reflects a shared vision for moving the
conference forward, and respecting each
individual college in truly wanting to do whats
best for its respective students and athletic
programs.
Theres still a lot of work to do when KJCAA
meets again in April, Trzaska said, but there is
complete confidence that we will all work
towards an agreement regarding scholarships.
