After Tuesday’s elections there are three newcomers in the City Commission seats and two new faces on the USD 413 Board of Education.
All were very happy to hear the news and excited to get started in their new positions. The words “positve” and “growth” seemed to be consistent on the minds and tongues of the new city commissioners.
“Chanute has elected very positive people to lead them,” said Commissioner Martha McCoy.
Bringing in new business to create jobs and foster-ing economic development were also a common thread amongst the newly elected officials.
“I’m excited and looking forward to getting things in place that make the city successful. And hopefully we can see some growth,” said Commissioner Greg Woodyard.
Kevin Berthot and Woodyard, who received 813 and 751 votes, will serve four-year terms and McCoy will serve for two years. She received 691 votes.
The new commissioners are thankful for their support-

WICHITA (AP) — A state legislator from Wichita stopped for speeding has tried at least three times to use her position to get out of traffic tickets, vid-eos of the encounters show.
During one stop in January 2010, Oletha Faust-Goudeau asked a state trooper not to ticket her for speeding, at one point saying, “I’m asking you as a state senator,” The Wichita Eagle reported Wednesday.
The nearly 18-minute record-ing of the exchange between the legislator and state Trooper Beau Wallace was captured by the trooper’s in-car camera and his belt microphone and was obtained by the newspa-per through an open records request.
After the trooper told her was citing her for driving 84 mph in a 70 mph zone, Faust-Goudeau, who is black, asked the trooper if the stop was racial profil-ing. The trooper replied, “No, ma’am.”
Faust-Goudeau said in a state-ment Tuesday that it is within
the discretion of a police officer whether to issue a ticket or warning.
“I never intended to use my position to influence the deci-sion made by the officer,” she said.
The newspaper also reported last month on two other traffic stops for speeding, in February 2011 and October 2009. Those videos showed the lawmaker was not given a ticket after identifying herself as a state senator and telling officers that she knew the Wichita police chief and other Wichita city officials.
Court records show Faust-Goudeau pleaded no contest and paid a $140 fine for the 2010 turnpike traffic stop.
In the video, the trooper told her she clocked her going 84 mph in a 70 mph zone near the service area north of Empo-ria. She said she couldn’t have reached that speed.
After he asked for her driv-

PARSONS — On Monday night, Parsons City Commissioners made history by being the first city in Kansas to adopt the psuedo-ephedrine by prescription only ordinance. The City Commission unanimously adopted the ordinance after its second reading during Monday night’s regular City Commission meeting.
“I want to personally thank the Commission for their leader-ship is adopting this extremely important issue,” said John Keele, Parsons police chief. “While right now we are the only city in Kansas to have adopted this ordinance, we hope others will follow our lead and join us.”
The Parsons Police Department has been involved with the statewide push to make it harder for “smurfers” to buy psuedo-ephedrine and ephedrine, which is the key ingredient for meth production. Smurfers are individuals who canvas the region’s pharmacies to purchase psuedoephedrine with the intent to manu-facture meth.
Keele described meth production as an epidemic and went on to say, “we know this ordinance won’t cure the problem that many communities like ours are facing, however it will send the message to smurfers and meth heads that they are not welcome in Parsons.”
Parsons police are hopeful this new ordinance that will take effect on June 1 will have a positive impact on the community. Statistics show that states that have passed laws requiring psue-doepherine by prescription only have seen substantial drops in the number of meth labs.
For example, the state of Mississippi adopted the law a year ago, and has seen a nearly 70-percent reduction in meth-related cases. Oregon and Mississippi were two of the first states to adopt regulations to curb methamphetamine production. Currently sur-rounding states including Missouri and Oklahoma are trying to tackle statewide prescription only issues.
“We are doing what we can on a local level to curb production until the state and federal governments recognize the issue and its severity,” Keele said. “Until then, we are urging other communi-ties in Kansas to join us in the fight against meth.”

Grants for children’s medical expensesOVERLAND PARK – The UnitedHealthcare Children’s
Foundation (UHCCF) is seeking grant applications from fami-lies in need of financial assistance to help pay for their child’s health care treatments, services or equipment not covered, or only partially covered, by their commercial health insurance plans.
Qualifying families can receive up to $5,000 to help pay for medical services and equipment such as physical, occupational and speech therapy, counseling services, surgeries, prescrip-tions, wheelchairs, orthotics, eyeglasses and hearing aids.
“Eligible families in need who have a commercial health insurance plan are encouraged to apply for a medical grant today and use this valuable resource,” said Matt Peterson, presi-dent of UHCCF.
In 2010, UHCCF awarded nearly 800 grants to families across the United States for treatments associated with medical conditions such as speech and developmental delays, hearing loss, autism, cystic fibrosis, Down syndrome, ADHD, ADD and cerebral palsy. UHCCF is dedicated to helping more children and families in 2011. To be eligible for a grant, children must be 16 years of age or younger. Families must meet economic guidelines, reside in the United States and have a commercial health insurance plan. Grants are available for medical expenses families have incurred 60 days prior to the date of application as well as for ongoing and future medical needs. Parents or legal guardians may apply for grants at www.uhccf.org. Organiza-tions or private donors can also make tax-deductible donations directly online at this website.

ERIE — At Friday’s meeting of the Neosho County Board of Commissioners, Health Depart-ment Administrator Teresa Starr discussed the county’s Wellness Program.
She said Phil Drescher, account executive with the Bukaty Companies, suggested they give prizes to employees who participate in the employee Health Fair on April 12. The commissioners denied this request.
The Health Department will serve biscuits and gravy to participants after their fasting blood draw. She requested per-mission to purchase two buffet servers to use for this event and to also have on hand to use for the county’s spring and winter dinners. She was directed to get prices and return with a request.
In other business:• Deputy County Appraiser Bob
McElroy answered questions the commissioners had regarding an economic development issue.
• Instructed Charles Morse, Road & Bridge director, to get the 2003 Caterpillar backhoe repaired.
• Approved having R-C Auto, in Chanute, paint and install a bed on Road & Bridge’s 2006 Chevrolet pickup for $1,050.
• Morse said he wants to tear out the old bridge at 49th Road and Katy Road then replace it with tank cars that have been cut in half. County Engineer William Cook advised they use three tank cars if that is what they decide to do. They all agreed the existing bridge is a good sturdy bridge, but is too narrow for modern traffic.
• Cook reported he received notice from the state that the county will have to print the engi-neer’s drawings for Phase IV of the 160th (Shaw)-Elk Road Improvement Project, Kansas Department of Transportation
(KDOT) Project Number 67 KA-0840-01.
• Register of Deeds Glenda Taylor reported that when ORION comes up in w County in about six weeks, which is the state’s appraisal program, each of the offices in the county that uses it, other than the appraiser’s office, will have to pay approximately $125 per PC. The commissioners approved her request that these fees be paid out of the Court-house General fund.
County conducts business
ers and are looking forward to helping advance the city of Chanute.
“I would like to tell every-body thank you. I really appre-ciate their confidence in me,” said Berthot. “When I found out the results last night it was hum-bling for me to receive those votes and be elected to this position. I’ve always felt that way. I’ve always considered an elected official a servant of the people.”
Sean Bowman and Bradley LaRue are the newly elected Board of Education members for USD 413.
“I am looking forward to being part of a team within the 413 family again,” said Bow-man, who is now employed by The Monarch Cement Compa-ny. “ I left the education profes-sion to take on a new challenge and opportunity but education is not something that leaves your
system very easily.“The business at hand is sim-
ple when I keep in mind that this new venture is not about me. My focus will be to serve our students, out teachers, and our community.”
Both Bowman and LaRue will serve four-year terms. They will join incumbents Kellie Thomen and Ross Hendrickson.
Bowman said he is anxious to get started, and he believes working with the re-elected members of the board, whom he described as “strong lead-ers,” will be gratifying.
LaRue could not be reached by press time.
“I believe the best way I can show my appreciation (to sup-porters) will be to take the gift and opportunity they have given me and pay it forward to the school district that I now serve,” said Bowman.

er’s information, she told him early in the stop, “I’m a state senator, and I just left Topeka, and let me find everything that you need, honey.”
She also told the trooper she had just left the Legislature and that she had just been with Gov. Mark Parkinson.
Later, after Wallace explained how he checked her speed, she said, “I’m asking you this: If you would just give me a warn-ing today. Um, I’m asking you as a state senator.”
She tried again later to avoid a ticket, showing the trooper a Wichita Police Department “challenge coin” and saying, “So the chief of police has given me that. You’re going to over-ride that and not have mercy on me at all,” she said, laughing.
During the October 2009 stop, she had also shown a Wichita police officer a Wichita police challenge coin and said that Police Chief Norman Williams gave it to her and told her to “use it” if she had to.
Williams has said he gave Faust-Goudeau a police chal-lenge coin several years ago, but that as with other people, he gave the coin only as a good-will gesture, not as a get-out-of-trouble pass.

Our flight was delayed. First, for 15 minutes. Then 15 more minutes. Finally 15 more minutes. Aggh!
I had other plans. Coming home from vacation the last place I wanted to be stuck was in O’Hare airport.
I wanted to go home. Waiting, we met a fellow passen-
ger. He was 28 years old and from India. Enthusiastically, he began tell-ing us about India winning the world championship in cricket. It is all the talk in India. He was so excited I didn’t have the heart to tell him I had no clue about the world cricket cham-pionship.
Casually I asked him what he did for a living. He stepped back cau-tiously. “I’m a minister.”
(I understood his caution. When striking a conversation with people in an airport the quickest way to kill it is to say you are a minister.)
Imagine, an evangelist from India on mission to the United States and a Kansas pastor meeting during a flight delay in Chicago.
What started cautiously became excitement as he talked about God. He told of growing up in a house church in India, the persecution they experienced, and how the little church had grown to start 200 congregations. He had been sent as a minister evan-gelist to the United States.
His enthusiasm fanned into flame
as I listened and encouraged him. A coincidence? An interruption?
Or a divine appointment? An interruption — a delayed flight
— was a date in God’s Day-Timer. Jesus’ miracles often began as
interruptions. Jesus was in the middle of teaching when four men cut a hole in the roof of someone else’s house and lowered a crippled man. Jesus’ visit to Zacchaeus house was impromptu. The woman healed by the touch of His garment interrupted Jesus as he was going to another appointment.
Divine appointments disguised as interruptions.
How can we be ready for a divine appointment?
First, awareness is important. Liv-ing in the moment, not in the past or thinking about our “yet-to-get done” list but just being in this moment; aware of people, circumstances, and surroundings.
Like your teacher said, “Pay atten-
tion.” The committee conversing in our
head is so busy talking we don’t have the quietness of mind and heart to be aware. We miss divine appointments because we are not aware of people or the Spirit of God.
Secondly, we need an open heart. Our heart sees as we are not as they are. We view circumstances through our own perspectives, our own filters, our own presuppositions. We see by sight, not by faith.
Faith is trusting in God and seek-ing to understand through His eyes. His view is reality. Relying on our view is simply stumbling in the dark.
Finally, we need margin in our lives. When your flight is delayed you have to wait. Whether or not you like it, you suddenly have margin.
We need space in our lives so we can be available for opportunities around us. A good friend taught me the importance of deliberately keep-ing one appointment free during the day just for emergencies. You may not be experiencing an interruption. It may be an appointment by God.
My interrupted flight was a delightful divine appointment.
Now if the phone would just stop interrupting me…

A Still MindIn the hustle and bustle of our hectic lives we often need to slow down and quiet our minds. The following meditation is intended to still the mind and calm the soul: “My still mind reflects only peace and holiness. Even if I am unaware of it, peace and holiness are still there. Let my mind reflect only peace and holiness.” Often times we appear calm on the surface but underneath our minds are racing. We are like ducks that appear calm on the surface of the pond but underneath their feet are paddling frantically. If at times, this describes what your life feels like, then repeat this meditation, or some version of it, whenever you have the chance. “My mind is still and calm, reflecting only peace and holiness. Even when I am not aware of it, peace and holiness surround me. May I reflect only peace and holiness.” Don’t worry if you don’t have it memorized exactly. The important point is simply to affirm that your mind is calm and still, reflecting only peace and holiness, and that you are surrounded by peace and holiness.
Be still, and know that I am God. New K.J.V. Psalm 46:10

IOLA — Chanute Coach Bill Woodard used Tuesday’s Iola Invitational Golf Tournament as a way to get some of his inex-perienced golfers some quality time on the course.
Chanute finished seventh in the team standings, but as Woodard pointed out, Tuesday was all about gaining experi-ence.
“I typically schedule at least two additional varsity tourna-ments where I take some of the better JV kids to give them some varsity experience,” Woodard said. “It gives them a chance to compete against kids that are better than they are. And it also gives me a chance to see how they react. I was pleased with their effort. They played against a lot of varsity guys.”
Coach Woodard added his varsity positions are not set in stone, and he wants to see who will step up.
“We’re kind of in a rebuilding mode this year, we’ve got a lot of young kids and I need to give them some opportunities to get better,” Woodard said. “Golf is a game where you don’t get bet-ter in a hurry. You have to put in a significant amount of time to improve.”
Strong winds greeted the golfers on Tuesday at the Allen County Country Club.
“It was a good course to play on,” Woodard said. “It was wide open. And playing in tough con-ditions makes you focus on what you have to do to get better.”
Freshman Jerry Whitworth led the way for the Blue Comets with a 93 and classmate Lake Lund shot a 94.
“Jerry and Lake played pretty well,” Woodard said. “They hit the ball reasonably well.”
Chanute sophomore Wyatt Taylor shot a 105, junior Jarret Borjas finished with a 110, and senior Deric Marr shot a 114.
After the 18-hole tourney concluded, Woodard said the goal for the day was accom-plished.
“I think today gave them a chance to see what it takes at the varsity level,” he said. “We have
five or six kids who could fill two or three varsity spots. It’s still early in the season. It’s my job to find out who the best six kids are and put them out there and see how they compete. And that’s what we’re doing.”
Golf notesIndependence won Tuesday’s
tourney with a score of 331. Pittsburg’s Jon Nichols earned
medalist honors with a score of
72. The CHS varsity golf team will compete at Pittsburg next Tuesday at Crestwood.
The team will be without Mitchell Hale for another three weeks or so, Woodard said.
Also of note, Chanute’s Aus-tin Rickabaugh is out of action after an appendectomy.

GAINING EXPERIENCE
Jason Peake/TribuneChanute’s Jarret Borjas tees off at Tuesday’s Iola Invitational at Allen County County Club.
CHANUTE HIGH SCHOOL GOLF Blue Comets stand out at first track meet of spring
Jason PeakeTribune Sports Editor
Reaching a personal best in the first meet of the season is usually a good sign.
A few Chanute High School track and field athletes pulled off that feat last Friday at the Labette County Invitational, possibly a foreshadowing of good things to come.
Chanute’s Darian Rubow cleared 5-foot-2 in the girls high jump, tying her person-al best from last season. The sophomore is the defending SEK League champion and is off to a good start to the season in the event.
On the boys side, Abron Weaver also tied his personal best in the high jump by clear-ing the bar at six feet.
Chanute Coach Derek Liggett said both jumpers stood out.
“They both matched their PRs from last year the first meet out,” Liggett said.
Another athlete who impressed Liggett at Labette County was sophomore Mal-lory Flowers. Flowers won the long jump with a leap of 15-1.
“The meet was the first time she had ever even done it,” Liggett said.
Standing outA few of the team’s throwers
stood out at the LCHS Invite, as well. Blue Comets junior Chris Dale took first place in the discus (123-4), while soph-omore Cody Howell placed in both the shot put (sixth) and the discus (sixth).
Two freshmen girls, Sierra Masoner and Haley Taylor, also had good days at their
first-ever high school track meet.
Masoner took first place in the shot put (31-10) and fifth in the discus (86-6.5). Taylor finished third in the javelin (101-2) and sixth in the discus (85-10.5).
“Sierra and Haley both were thrown in to the varsity divi-sion their first meet out as freshmen and really stepped up and did great,” Liggett com-mented.
As far as the running events, Liggett said most of the team’s participants fared well.
“I thought we had a lot of really good performances for this early,” Liggett said. “Really most of our kids ran well, so it would be hard to just pick one or two that I thought ran great.”
First place finishers from Chanute were Morgan Olson in the girls 800 and Trevor Sum-mers in the boys two-mile.
“The kids stepped up and we saw some pretty good perfor-mances,” Liggett said.
NEXT: At ParsonsThe CHS track team will
compete at Parsons today beginning at 3 p.m. Some of the team members will com-pete at Pittsburg State on Fri-day afternoon.

Dear Amy: I am a 40-year-old mother of a 9-year-old son. My husband and I split up more than a year ago. He left me for another woman.
Our son understands what’s going on, but he doesn’t want me to date. I told him that if I went out it would be during a weekend when he is at his father’s house.
I told him I think I have a right to have fun, but he doesn’t want me dating anyone. I also told him that he is the No. 1 man in my life and if anyone I do date can’t accept him, then I don’t need that person in my life.
I don’t know what to do. I don’t want my son to feel as if he is losing me. But I also think I should be able to be happy. — Confused Mother
Dear Confused: You and your son are engaged in an important conversation about your life — and his.
The good news is that he is sharing his feelings and stating his views (many 9-year-olds wouldn’t be capable of doing this).
You need to understand his vulnerabilities and react with compassion.
Young children don’t see dating as “fun,” are fearful of strangers coming into the family and don’t want to share their parents.
However, young children are not capable of making adult choices, and you should reassure him that you are the adult. He needs to understand
that he can trust you to make good decisions for both of you.
I suggest you say to him, “I understand how you feel about this, and I want you to trust that I will always put you first. But I have grown-up friends, and I want to make new friends — just as you want to make friends — and all of my friends know that I care the most about you.”
Don’t involve your son in your dating life. Date if you want to, but don’t go into detail about it unless you engage in a relationship that you feel is serious. It’s important for you to be cautious, calm and steady about your romantic life.
Dear Amy: It’s been a year since I broke up with my boyfriend, and it’s been a difficult time. The relationship ended badly, and I wish I could talk to him so that we are at peace, but he doesn’t want to talk to me anymore.
He has a girlfriend, which holds me back from talking to him. I am always tempted to look for him, but I don’t.
My friends think I shouldn’t bother with him, but I feel that I need closure to move on with my life.
What do you think that I should do? — Need Closure
DEAR CLOSURE: Closure is tricky business — you should do whatever possible to enable yourself to move on.
But contacting your ex might not bring you the closure you desire. In fact, it might create even more confusion for you.
It might help to imagine a dialogue with your ex. Write it down. Assume that you state your feelings and he responds negatively — or doesn’t respond at all. If stating your case —regardless of his response — will help you, then reach out to him. But the exercise of imagining both sides of this conversation might help to free you from the impulse.
Ultimately, you are responsible for getting what you need from this experience — and you may have to do so without his help.
Dear Amy: The letter from “Disgusted,” whose boss was a noisy eater, reminded me of a boss I had once with a gas problem.
Our boss would loudly pass gas all day long, seemingly unaware that we all could hear him in the outer office.
At first we were disgusted by it, but after time went on we were merely amused. Every time it happened, we would just look at one another, shrug and share a silent laugh.
He was one of the best bosses I ever had, so his problem seems rather endearing as I look back now. — Formerly Disgusted
Dear Formerly: This gives new meaning to having the benefit of “hindsight.” Thank you!

Single mom seeking — dating advice
Dear Heloise: I really appreciated the hint that was sent in concerning mowing the lawn for families in mourning. This would be a great aid to families of deployed service members as well. When my husband was in Iraq and I had four small children and a large yard, mowing was my most difficult chore. My mom and I love your column and discuss the newest on most days. — C.L. Scott in Temple, Texas
Dear Heloise: I make my own unique fingernail colors. I always have bottles of different colors that just didn’t look good on me — either they were too dark or too light. So, instead of throwing them out, I decided to mix and match.
I take a bottle of one color and add little bits of the dark color to it. I make little marks on a white napkin, and when I get the color I want, I keep it. I then write on an index card what color I started with and how many drops of the dark color (name) I added. Nobody else has the same color of polish as me; I am unique in my color of nails. — Joanne in Connecticut
Wow! This is creative, and it saves money, too. Fingernail polish usually has a shelf life of one to two years. I have some nail polish that’s older than 10 years and still going strong. If nail polish gets a little thick, I use a few drops of enamel solvent, which can be bought at a drugstore or beauty-supply store. A small bottle will last a long time. — Heloise
Dear Heloise: My bathroom sink was very slow draining; even baking soda and vinegar didn’t help. I took a wire hanger, cut a piece about a foot long and made a small hook on one end. Since the drain stopper couldn’t be removed, I inserted the wire with the hook end into the drain. I was able to grab the hair that was causing the problem. Now the drain is working great. — Myrna Parscal in Kahului, Maui, Hawaii
Michigan couple to walk +2,000 miles for wedding
CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan couple is planning a truly long wedding march. Joseph Crist and Laura Brunett are going to walk some 2,500 miles to get to their wedding in Las Vegas this fall.
The happy couple told Detroit tele-vision station WJBK that they plan to leave Canton Township in Wayne County in mid-April, and that they expect the trek to prepare them to spend a lifetime together.
They hope to be in Las Vegas by September and plan to marry at near-by Lake Mead.
The 24-year-olds met in middle school, and got the idea for the trip from the book, “The Lost Art of Walk-ing,” by Geoff Nicholson.
Crist says they know their plan is “extremely crazy.”
Ask Amy
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis 500 says it has selected Donald Trump to drive the pace car in this year’s 100th anniversary race.
Race organizers said Tuesday that Trump will drive a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Pace Car to lead the field of 33 drivers at the start of the race May 29 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Trump says he’s honored to have the job and says the race “has been the gold standard of motorsports for a century.”
The Camaro is equipped with a 400-horsepower V-8 engine and six-speed automatic transmission.
The race starts at noon and is being televised by ABC.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Harvard has announced that comedian and actress Amy Poehler has been selected as this year’s “Senior Class Day” speaker.
The school announced Tuesday that the Massachusetts native will address graduates and their families in Harvard Yard’s Tercentenary Theatre on May 25.
The annual ceremony is scheduled the day before com-mencement and is a chance for Harvard’s senior class to socialize one last time before graduating.
Poehler, a Boston College graduate, is known for her work on the late-night sketch comedy show “Saturday Night Live” and currently stars in the NBC comedy series “Parks and Recreation.”

Graduation Edition. As part of this new look we would like to include your
personal Senior Portrait. Portraits must be single image vertical orientation. In
order to use your personal portrait, sim-ply have your photographer e-mail a copy of your picture to the Tribune using this
email: [email protected] or drop it by the Tribune at 411 S. Central.
We ask that you do this as you get your senior photos taken. Students who do

be received at the Tribune office by 5pm April 22, 2011.
Thanks for helping us create a new look for a new decade.
