By Brian SandersThe donation of small par-

cel of land in the northeastern corner of Holton near the city’s electric power generation plant was approved last week by the Holton City Commis sion in a move that City Manager Ker-win McKee said will allow the city to protect utility lines in that area.

During the commission’s meeting last Tuesday — held a day later than usual because of the Martin Luther King Jr. birthday observance on Jan. 21 — commissioners accepted the donation of a small piece of ground located along Vermont Avenue near the power plant’s rear access road and across from Hammersmith Manu facturing.

The land was owned by Knotty Pine Oil Company, whose owners, Brett and Carly Fletcher, stated a willingness to donate the land to the city, Mc-Kee said. All the land that sur-rounds the Knotty Pine parcel is owned by the city and located in a floodplain south of Elk Creek, he added.

“There are utilities that run through that property,” McKee said. “There’s a huge gas line that feeds the power plant, and there’s a power transmission line that comes through there, so we have a need to protect those lines.”

At the present time, McKee noted there are no plans to place any struc tures on the land in that corner. He noted that at some point the land could be used for storage, but for the time being, it remains “a green space” that city employees had mowed for the Fletchers in previous years.

In other business last Tues-day, commissioners:

By Ali HolcombThe investigation division

of the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office is instrumental in con-tinuing to help reduce crime in the county, according to Jack-son County Sheriff Tim Morse in his year-end report.

The division, which consists of three investigators Andy Cav-iness, Phil McManigal and Mark Montague, worked an estimated 278 cases in 2018, Morse said.

Thirty-four of the 278 cases were residential burglaries, and 12 of them were solved result-ing in a 35 percent clearance rate, Morse said.

The national average clear-ance rate is 13.2 percent, ac-cording to the National Council for Home Safety and Security.

The unit also investigated 74 theft case, as well as 36 sex-re-lated cases.

“All of the sex-related cases where cleared by arrest or by prosecution, or are still current-ly under investigation,” Morse said. “The investigation unit puts a high priority to these types of crimes and dedicates time and resources to investigating these crimes to ensure a thorough in-vestigation is conducted and all aspects are considered.”

The investigation unit is also responsible for the handling of evidence. This includes evi-dence submitted by patrol depu-ties for testing at the state crime lab or further investigation of electronic evidence, Morse said.

During 2018, 2,824 pieces of evidence were logged, stored or tested in the county.

The investigation unit con-ducted one homicide investi-gation last year, with an arrest of the suspect who is currently awaiting trial. The unit also in-vestigated two other shootings with one conviction and the oth-er currently awaiting trial.

During the year, the inves-tigation unit served 42 search warrants and 12 inquisitional subpoenas.

The unit has an investigator on call 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.

“The purpose of this is to en-sure that no matter the time of day, an investigator will be able to respond to and investigate any crime and be able to travel at a moment’s notice to investigate or assist patrol deputies with in-vestigations,” Morse said.

Can you correctly predict the score of Sunday’s big football game?

The Holton Recorder, along with 23 area business spon-sors, is again sponsoring a Su-per Football Pick’em Contest. A 40-inch flat-screen television will be given away to the person who correctly predicts, or pre-dicts closest to, the final score of Sunday’s big game.

The Los Angeles Rams will play the New England Patriots for the 2018-19 National Foot-ball League championship in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday, Feb. 3, at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga. Kick-

off is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Maroon 5 will perform the half-time show.

If multiple people correctly predict the final score and win-ner, then their entries will be placed into a hat and a winning name will be drawn from those entries.

Entry forms are available on page 8 in today’s edition of The Holton Recorder and at each of the 23 participating business locations. To participate in the contest, fill out the entry form at each participating location when you visit.

By Brian SandersThe Topeka man charged

in con nection with an alleged threat that re sulted in Royal Val-ley schools placed on “modified lockdown” last August entered a plea of not guilty on charges against him Friday morn ing in Jackson County District Court.

Braden C. Crowder, 19, charged with criminal threat and harassment by telecommunica-tion device follow ing the Aug. 29, 2018 incident in volving an alleged threat made using so-cial media, stood silent during Fri day’s arraignment hearing

and al lowed Topeka defense attorney Don ald Hoffman to enter pleas of not guilty to the charges.

District Court Judge Norbert Marek accepted the pleas and sched uled a two-day trial for Crowder to begin Thursday, May 30 in district court. Judge Marek also set a pre-tri al motion hearing for Friday, March 22.

Crowder was charged after an al leged threat made Aug. 29 over so cial media toward Royal Valley High School students spurred district offi cials to place schools in the district on “modi-

fied lockdown” for several hours that same day. Classes re mained in session during the lock down but students and personnel were asked to remain in the school buildings.

Jackson County Sheriff’s of-ficers then sought Crowder, who allegedly made a threat of vio-lence against a Royal Valley stu-dent in a text mes sage, saying, “If we don’t catch them at the school, we for sure catchin them at they crib” (sic). Crowder was arrested later that same day but

By Brian SandersA Mayetta man charged with

shooting a family member at a resi dence near Mayetta last summer is now asking for Jack-son County Dis trict Judge Nor-bert Marek to recuse himself from presiding over the man’s upcoming trial.

During a pre-trial motion hearing on Friday, Hiawatha de-fense attor ney Andrew Delaney said his client, Alva B. McKin-ney, 40, of Mayetta, had “five separate issues to discuss” re-

garding McKinney’s upcoming two-day jury trial, scheduled to begin Tuesday, Feb. 19 in dis-trict court.

One of those issues as sug-gested by McKinney, Delaney said, in volved asking Judge Marek to recuse him self from the trial. Delaney said he did not have an affidavit prepared to lay out reasons why the judge should not be allowed to preside over the upcoming trial, nor did he give any reasons in the form of an “oral mo tion” why McK-

inney thought Marek should be recused.

Marek allowed Delaney until Wednesday, Feb. 6 to file mo-tions pertaining to McKinney’s request for the judge’s recusal, as well as four other motions in limine, seeking an order from the court limiting or pre venting certain evidence from being presented by prosecutors or oth-ers during the trial.

McKinney has been charged with aggravated battery, a Level 5 person felony, after allegedly

shooting a male relative in the head at a resi dence north of Mayetta on Aug. 1 of last year. He is currently being held at the Shawnee County Detention Center on $50,000 bond.

Delaney said the other four mo tions in limine, requested by McKin ney, would focus on McKinney’s prior criminal his-tory, the criminal histories of those listed as witnesses in the case, law enforcement officers’

On Monday night, Jan. 27, members of the Holton Plan-ning Commission gave approval to a preliminary plat as submit-ted by Walmart for the possible construction of a new store and adjacent gas station on two lots located south of Holton’s Taco Bell on U.S. Highway 75.

The Holton High School wrestling team made school history this past Saturday, Jan. 25, when it took the top spot at the Sadowski Invitational, the Wildcats’ home tournament. It was the first time the Wildcats had won the tournament.

Holton High School gradu-ate Jacob Schirmer is being featured in a nation-wide Su-per Bowl print advertisement this week, it has been reported. Schirmer is a 2004 graduate of Holton High School and the son of Henry and Charlotte Schirm-er of Holton.

Highland Community College is now looking to expand its services in Holton, it has been reported. The center opened in spring 2002, and college of-ficials had noted that, despite the class sizes starting small, they were optimistic that en-rollment and the number of available courses would grow over time.

Jackson Heights sophomore Cory Keehn was announced as one of nine nominees for the Kansas State High School Activities Association’s inau-gural Spirit of Sport award. The recognition is designed to give notice to individuals who demonstrate the values inher-ent in participation in high school sports beyond winning and losing.

Keehn captured the Class 2A individual cross country this past November, just 18 months after undergoing surgery to successfully remove a cancer-ous growth from the frontal lobe of his brain.

Jackson County Friends of Hospice is celebrating 20 years of service, it has been reported. Volunteers who have served since the organization began include Edrie Thomp-son, Dean Tuck, Alberta Tuck, Pam Doyle, Dr. Joel Hutchins, Cathleen Reed and Jim Birk-beck.

A sonic boom sounded in the early morning hours of Jack-son County on Tuesday, Jan. 27. Some people thought it was their roof collapsing, an intrud-er, an earthquake or something being dropped.

Whatever the sound was, it sent many residents outside in arctic temperatures in their paja-mas to investigate the big boom. The cause of the sound remains a mystery.

On Jan. 1, the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, in collabo-ration with the Sac and Fox Na-tion, took over management of the Indian Health Services clinic in Holton, it has been reported. Arlene Wahwassuck, chairman

of the PBP health committee, said, “One of the major benefits is that the people can have more input regarding health care.”

Holton woman Terri Clancy once had trouble hearing things clearly. Now, she is making sure the world hears her loud and clear. She hopes that the just-re-leased book she authored, “Tin-nitus: Hope and Help,” will put the hearing condition that once hounded her into proper per-spective. She and her husband, Mike, corroborated the book project.

Though she stands only about five feet tall, Pam Johansen nevertheless owns black belts in three different disciplines and has been operating her new busi-ness in Hoyt, the Mid-America Karate Academy, since the first of January. The academy’s aim is a modern approach to self-defense, based on century-old techniques of martial arts. Jo-hansen hopes to build charac-ter, self-control, concentration, leadership skills and respect for others in her students.

pire!• Keep hot foods hot and cold

foods cold.• Put out food in batches.• Follow the two-hour rule.Is It Safe To Home Can Ham

Or Other Cured Meat?There are no science-based

instructions to home-can cured, brined or corned meats. Here is some information from Clem-son University Extension.

“The texture of some cured, brined and corned meats is firm-er than that of fresh meats; thus, heat penetration into the cured, brined or corned products might

be more difficult. That would mean the process time would need to be longer and using the process for fresh meats would result in a potentially unsafe product.

“Curing can make meat drier than fresh meat or can leave it with a higher salt level, then covering liquid could be ab-sorbed into the flesh and pen-etration of heat into the meat would be much more difficult.

“Again, using the process for fresh meats would result in po-tentially unsafe product.

On the other hand, adding salt, nitrite, nitrate and/or antimicro-bial agents like nisin makes Clostridium botulinum more susceptible to heat and the re-quired process time for some cured meats could be shorter. If so, using the fresh meat process would result in an overcooked product. Research on each product would be needed to de-termine a safe canning process.”

Kansas Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt, Acting Bank Commissioner Tim Kemp and Shannon Santschi of the Office of the Kansas Securities Commissioner have announced the opening of the 2019 Kansas Financial Scholars Essay Scholarship Contest, it was reported. The contest will run through April 1, 2019.

“Kansas high school seniors will soon make decisions about post-secondary education that will impact their future for years to come,” Schmidt said. “I’m pleased to support this program because it not only provides a scholarship to help offset the rising cost of post-secondary education, but it also provides a solid financial education that prepares students to make better financial choices for their future.”

Kemp added, “Financial literacy is integral to the future success of Kansas, which includes our Kansas youth. The Office of the State Bank Commissioner is proud to contribute scholarship funds to promote increased financial knowledge and support further educational opportunities. I encourage all

Kansas educators to promote this opportunity and Kansas seniors to participate.”

The top scholarship award has been increased to $3,000 this year. Subsequent awards are as follows: second place, $2,000; and third, fourth and fifth places, $1,000 each.

Students who choose to participate in the competition will be asked to write a two-part composition. Part one requires that students write an essay about an experience that has influenced their views on money management.

In part two, students will interview someone who is active in the field they aspire to and provide analysis on how they will apply what they’ve learned from the essay and interview to their life as they prepare for the future.

“Since we initiated this contest five years ago, the goal has always been to promote financial education in our high schools and invest in young Kansans’ vision for the future,” Santschi said. “To date, nearly 400 students have participated in an approved financial literacy programming

and submitted essays to our contest. Additionally, $30,000 in scholarships has been awarded to high school seniors who have committed to attending schools of higher learning here in Kansas.”

To be eligible, students must be in their senior year and attending a Kansas public, private or home school. They must plan to attend a Kansas technical school, trade school, college or university after high school graduation.

Eligibility is also dependent on students participating in one of six approved financial education courses; among them: EverFi/Kansas Financial Scholars Program, The Stock Market Game and Foundations in Personal Finance.

For a complete list of eligible programs and contest rules, visit www.ksc.ks.gov/essaycontest.

Teachers, parents or students may inquire with the director of investor education at Shannon.Santschi@ks.gov or 785-296-4756 to sign up for one of the complimentary prerequisite programs.

By Glenn MolletteBetween 1948 and 2011, the

United States gave Egypt $71.6 billion in bilateral military and e c o n o m i c aid.

Our Sen-ate last Au-gust passed a new bill that will give $38 bil-lion in mili-tary aid to Israel over the next 10 years. For d e c a d e s , we have averaged giving Israel about $3 billion a year.

We gave Afghanistan almost $5 billion in 2017. Jordan re-ceived more than $1 billion in aid the same year. We give money to almost everybody it seems. The list is long but in-cludes the West Bank/Gaza, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Malawi, Uganda, South Africa, Nigeria, Russia, Iraq, Tanzania, Mexico, Congo, Haiti, Lebanon, Soma-lia, Zambia, Sudan, Syria and this is not everybody.

The money we give out to oth-er nations normally falls in one of two categories.

We help other nations with economic aid or security aid.

For example, we will give Af-ghanistan approximately $650 million in economic aid but then we will also provide $5 billion in security aid. We give Jordan $635 million in economic aid and Syria about $540 million. Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zam-bia and Nigeria will all receive more than $400 million each in economic aid.

Iraq, Israel, Afghanistan, Egypt, Syria and Jordan will receive about $11 billion all together in security aid for one year of security.

The amount that the United States gives in foreign aid is about one percent of our budget. One percent is not that much. Right? Our one percent amounts to about $50 billion a year give or take a few dollars.

In years past, we have given in the $30 billion plus range. Overall this number has been divided out to 184 countries re-ceiving economic assistance and 142 countries receiving military assistance. Five of the six top recipients have been Muslim countries.

Multiply these numbers for the last 10 years or the next 10 years and it amounts to a big pile of cash flowing out of our country - billions and billions and billions of dollars.

Our giving helps in terms of supporting global peace, secu-rity, development efforts, and humanitarian relief. Our assis-tance saves lives, rebuilds live-lihoods, provides medicines, aids agricultures, taps natural resources, promotes sanitation and increases dependency on America. So, helping others has many positives.

There are several problems we face with our foreign aid bud-get. We are trillions of dollars in debt and have been for very long time.

Millions of Americans are struggling with healthcare. American families file bank-ruptcy every year due to medi-cal bills.

Many retired Americans into their 80s still must work to buy food and pay the rent. So-cial Security is running short and people receiving pensions throughout America are now threatened almost daily of hav-ing their pensions cut.

Our landscape has dramati-cally changed in America. In-ternationals are filling up our communities and some towns are almost unrecognizable. We must secure our nation. If we can spend $50 billion a year on foreign aid, then surely our Congress can set aside one or

two billion a year for the next few years to secure our southern border. Building a border wall will take some time.

Our federal government should also give some money to Ohio to fix I-71 between Cincin-nati and Columbus. Every time I drive that road I need a front end alignment on my car. Sadly, too many roads and bridges in America are in need of repair.

Water is a critical problem in America. From Southwest Florida, to Flint, Mich., Pitts-burgh, Brady, Texas and Martin County, Ky., bad drinking water is a constant topic of conversa-tion. The problem is these and many more communities need millions and millions of dollars to replace old leaky water pipes that are often 50 years old and are sadly connected to highly polluted water sources.

I am not opposed to helping others. My question is can we please take a few years and re-pair America? We must fix our roads, build the southern border wall and take care of some of our problems at home. The an-swer is we can and we must.

By Jim HoyPutting up hay is not the

fondest memory of my youth, but as time passes so the hard edges of those haying memories soften.

The season for making hay was always the hottest, driest, dustiest part of the summer, just as feeding it was always the cold-est, stormiest, snowiest part of winter (the weather in both versions exag-gerated in my recollection).

My earliest hay-making memory occurred when I was probably about five years old, and it was in what we called the Big Pasture, which wasn’t all that big, 140 acres, but it was the biggest pasture close to our house.

For some reason either my father or my grandfather (prob-ably both) had decided we need-ed some square bales instead of our usual stacks of loose hay.

In my mind’s eye I can see a tractor powering a stationary

baler, two men sitting on the baler to thread the wires for the bales.

Whether the baler was pow-ered by a belt (as was the corn grinder at Dadhoy’s barn) or by a power-take-off shaft I don’t know.

The baler was owned and operated by John and Clarence Morgan, who lived with their younger brother, Arthur, south-west of Cassoday.

All three were bachelors, and their farm was just south of the half-section Mosteller Pasture, which we leased for summer grazing.

Up until I was 17, we stacked loose hay into either conical or loaf-shaped stacks, the latter only in feed racks located in the Cowlot or the Cave (or Cem-etery) Pastures.

Those were the two places where we wintered our cows. The Cowlot, on the west side of the road, was 40 acres with a very slow flowing spring where we didn’t have to break ice un-less there were several days in a row of very cold weather.

The Cemetery Pasture, about 50 acres in size, was on the east

side of the road and got its name because the Cassoday Cemetery was located on the southwest corner.

Alternatively, we called it the Cave Pasture because when the Santa Fe Railroad came through town, they had quarried stone on the west side, just south of the Walnut River, and had built a small dugout in the east bank of a nearby draw in which to store dynamite.

The Walnut ran through both pastures, but it went under-ground a little east of our prop-erty and came out a little west, so we usually left the water gap under the bridge open so that cows could go back and forth between the two pastures to get water.

We had two feed racks in the Cowlot, one in the Cave Pas-ture, prairie hay stored on both sides of the road and alfalfa on the west.

Unless the grass was covered with snow, we usually just fed kaffir corn bundles, but with snow we would also pitch hay down from the stacks into the feeding areas on both sides of the feed racks.

These areas were made of boards attached to the bottom part of posts surrounding the hay, then red-elm poles were placed across the tops with a gap between so cows could reach in to eat but couldn’t crawl over to get to the stack itself.

This method of winter feeding came to an end in 1957 when we bought an Allis-Chalmers Roto-baler.

We sometimes stacked these round bales in the feed racks, but unlike square-bale stacks, hay would spoil in round-bale stacks.

It didn’t spoil if left on the ground until fed, however, so we would usually leave it in the hayfield until we needed it in the winter.

We would then either load the bales by hand on a mule-pulled hayrack, or load it onto our flat-bed one-ton GMC truck with a ferris-wheel bale loader.

From there it went to the win-ter pasture and thence into the cow’s stomachs.

MOLLETTE: Can we fix our country first?

By Beverly Ramey NewellOn Jan. 20, the Pleasant Hill

United Methodist Church con-gregation opened its worship service by singing “Are Ye Able.”

The birthdays for Jan. 20 through Jan. 26 were Hannah Caudill and Rick Colton, Jan. 20; Kendra Cochran, Jan. 23; and Danette Martin, Jan. 24.

The anniversaries for the week were Don and Sandy Old, Jan. 20, and John and Dorothy Holt, Jan. 26.

For special music, Bruce Tomlinson sang “The Lord’s Prayer.” Marjorie O’Konski ac-companied him on the organ.

The children’s story was given by Brian Smith. He told them it takes a lot of people to serve our church. We have an administrative council made up by the chairmen of other com-mittees such as the board of trustees, communication team, congregational care ministry team, education committee, fel-lowship and hospitality team, finance committee, memorials committee, mission committee, new member team, staff-parish relations committee and wor-ship committee.

The worship committee changes the colored altar cloths for the different seasons of the church year. Purple represents royal. White and gold represent joy. Red represents the Holy Spirit and the blood of Christ. Green represents growth and the church. Let us all grow our church and our faith.

Judy Glasgow read the scrip-

tures, 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 and Luke 22:31-32.

Jesus chose only humble peo-ple to be His disciples. Jesus worked with His disciples so they could change the world.

What does it mean to believe in Jesus? John 15:16 says, “You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask Him in my name.”

Jesus called His disciples and chose 12 of them who he also named apostles: Simon, who he named Peter, and his broth-er, Andrew, and James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas and James, son of Al-phaeus, and Simon, who was called the Zealot, and Judas, son of James, and Judas’ Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Peter became a “rock of the church.” Jesus told Peter to take care of the people. Jesus prays for us that our faith will not fail.

The closing hymn was “O Master, Let Me Walk With Thee.” Those assisting with the service were Judy Glasgow, lit-urgist; Mary Smith, organist; Deb and Matt Mannell, sound system; Ron Griffiths, acolyte; John Wilson, song leader; and Gary Domer, Mark Searles, Brian Smith and Ron Griffiths, usher team.

On Jan. 19, Melvin Guffey was an afternoon visitor of Dick and Beverly Newell.

Hospitals and health care systems are a powerful eco-nomic force in Kansas, it was reported. The state’s health care sector generated $16.6 billion in income and $28.5 billion in sales last year, ranking it fifth among all economic sectors in the state.

Hospitals were the biggest contributor in the health sector, generating $7.9 billion in in-come and $14.8 billion in sales. Kansas hospitals employ more than 93,000 of the 238,000 health service employees in the state.

These are just a few of the findings in the January 2019 report, The Importance of the Health Care Sector to the Kan-sas Economy, which details es-timates of the “gross” impact of the health care sector on eco-nomic activity in the state of Kansas.

In the report, K-State re-searchers identify three primary ways health care influences lo-cal economic development: health care attracts and retains business, attracts and retains re-tirees and creates local jobs.

Jobs are an essential part of the economic impact; however, funds also flow to businesses and throughout the economy as hospitals purchase goods and services.

Hospitals generate nearly $3.7 billion in local retail sales in Kansas each year. Addition-ally, the hospital sector gener-ates more than $241 million in state sales tax. These are critical funds that the state uses for im-portant programs such as educa-tion and transportation.

“Hospitals and health servic-es truly are an economic anchor in our state,” said Tom Bell, president and CEO of the Kan-sas Hospital Association. “This report documents the impor-tance of the health care sector to the Kansas economy. While the estimates of economic impact are substantial, they are only a partial accounting of the ben-efits health care in general, and community hospitals in particu-lar, provide to the state. Kansas community hospitals help sta-bilize the population base, in-vigorate their communities and contribute significantly to qual-

ity of life.” According to the 2019 eco-

nomic report, Kansas hospitals employ 4.7 percent of all job holders in the state. The report calculated economic multipli-ers, or “ripple effects,” and es-timated hospitals account for 84,413 additional jobs through-out all other businesses and in-dustries in the state.

In other words, for each new job in the hospital sector, an-other 0.91 jobs were created in other businesses and industries in Kansas. The hospital sector employment had a total impact on state employment of approx-imately 177,500 jobs.

Furthermore, the entire health sector in Kansas employs about 238,300 people, or 12 percent of all job holders in the state. This puts Kansas ahead of the national average, which is 10 percent of job holders in the United States working in health care services.

The total employment impact of the health services sector in Kansas is nearly 400,000 jobs, making it the fourth largest ag-gregate employer in the state. This report confirms heath care is directly or closely related to nearly 20 percent of all Kansas employment.

The study also found Kansas hospitals generate more than $6.7 billion in direct labor in-come to the Kansas economy each year. For every dollar of income generated in the hos-pital sector, another $0.59 was generated in other business and industry.

The full statewide report and links to county reports can be found on the KHA website.

The Kansas Hospital Asso-ciation is a voluntary, non-profit organization existing to be the leading advocate and resource for members. KHA membership includes 225 member facilities, of which 123 are full-service, community hospitals. Founded in 1910, KHA’s vision is “Opti-mal Health for Kansas.”

There aren’t enough words to express our family’s deepest appreciation to all of those who put Madison at the top of their prayers during her last battle fighting for her life. The support of our fairly new hometown was a daily conversation in her hospital room and was added motivation for her to continue to fight until the call came that a second set of lungs had been found.Unfortunately, time ran short and her lungs

gave out far before her heart stopped beating. Our family will never be able to repay the love that you all have shown. Madison may not have received her second set of lungs here on earth, but she received her permanent ones and is breathing easy and smiling. We are humbled by all of the love and support.

Rural Jackson County resident Merrill Hinkle (shown at right in photo above with Doug Martinek) recently donat-ed his entire collection of polka records to the Moravan Lodge 128, Rossville. Hinkle, 92, who lives near Mayetta, said he remembers dancing with his wife, Margarite, at the Bohemian Hall and across the Midwest. The records date back to 1975, with many of the records personally autographed with the polka musician’s name and the lo-cation of the dance where Hinkle purchased them. The Hinkles will be the guests of honor at the Spring Polka Dance at the Bohemian Hall in April, it was reported.

By Brian SandersLast year at this time, the

Jackson Heights Lady Cobras varsity basketball team was in the Hiawatha Inv i t a t i ona l Tournament’s championship game with a team that Head Coach Dan Shupe said had made some strides to get there after being in the lower part of the tournament bracket for several years.

Tonight, the Lady Cobras will once again play in the Hiawatha tournament’s championship game, following early round wins over teams from Horton and Falls City, Neb. Only Marysville stands in the way of a tournament title for Jackson Heights, and the game is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. at Hiawatha High School.

The tournament got off to a late start on Friday — a few days later than planned due to winter weather — with a seemingly easy 61-25 victory over Northeast Kansas League foe Horton that saw the Lady Cobras screaming out of the gate to a 43-14 halftime lead and not looking back.

Jackson Heights junior Kylie Dohl led the way in that game with 15 points, followed by junior Abby Brey with 10 points, while the Lady Cobras’ defense kept Horton’s top scorer, Kailea

Smith, to nine points.On Saturday, the Lady Cobras

kept rolling with a low-scoring 39-32 win over the Lady Tigers that saw Heights staving off a fourth-quarter surge from Falls City to hold on for the win and keeping any Tiger players from scoring more than nine points.

Again, Dohl led the way in scoring for Jackson Heights with 11 points, including a pair of treys, followed by Brey with eight and sophomore Amaya Marlatt with seven. For Falls City, Brynna Bruxellas and Elli-cyn Gilkerson each contributed nine points.

Following tonight’s tournament-ending game with Marysville, the Lady Cobras — currently at 7-1 and second place in the NEK League and 9-1 overall for the season — will return to league play with a Tuesday night trip to Winchester for a game against fourth-place Jefferson County North (6-2 league, 10-2 overall).

JH Lady Cobras toplay for tourney title

this evening at Hiawatha

By Ali HolcombThe Royal Valley varsity

basketball teams swept Burl-ington at home on Friday in two high-scor-ing games.

The RV boys team d e f e a t e d Burlington 77-66 in a non-league match-up, i m p r o v -ing to a 4-7 overall record. The Panthers are 2-5 in the Big Seven League.

The Panthers outscored the Wildcats 22-19 in the first quar-ter, and by the half, RV led 39-31.

“Offensively, things really

clicked for us,” said RV head coach Trent Oliva. “We did a really good job of moving the ball. Burlington tried pressuring us, but we were able to get some run outs and some layups.”

Burlington closed the gap in the third quarter with 21 points, but RV still led 53-52.

In the final eight minutes, RV exploded with 24 points and kept the Wildcats to 14 points.

“We crashed the offensive boards and got some easy buck-ets, and we did a good job re-bounding offensively,” Coach Oliva said. “We shared the bas-ketball well and found our open man.”

The Panthers were led by se-nior Pak Hale who had 21 points, including two three-pointers. Freshman Mason Thomas had

17 points. “It was good for the boys to

get some success,” Oliva said. The Panthers were 15-21 at

the free throw line. The Wild-cats went 20-27 at the line.

Continued from Page 6After trailing in the first half

of the game against Burlington, the Lady Panthers were able to make some adjustments in the second half to take the win against the Lady Wildcats 61-53.

RV improved to a 9-2 overall record. The Panthers are 5-2 in the Big Seven League.

The Wildcats outscored the Lady Panthers 17-8 in the first frame and kept the momentum going to a 33-24 halftime score.

“We hadn’t played in a week and we had limited practices due to the weather so I think we were pretty flat in the first half,” said RV coach Kyle Porter. “We didn’t see the ball go in very much the first half, and Burling-ton shot pretty well.”

The Lady Panthers rallied and took the lead in the third quar-ter, exploding out of the locker room with 24 points and keep-ing the Wildcats to 11 points.

“We lit a fire under them at halftime,” Porter said. “We changed the way that we played and pressed a little more. We were able to get steals and transition baskets that way. We turned up the tempo and were able to get back in the game.”

In the final quarter, RV scored 13 points and Burlington had 9 points.

The RV team was led by se-nior Mary Broxterman who had 26 points and senior Kiikto Thomas who had 18 points.

As a team, the Panthers were 14-20 at the free throw line. The Lady Wildcats went 10-14 at the charity stripe.

Brooks-ShumakerKlinginsmiths note50th anniversary

A statewide Women in Agriculture Event, hosted by Nemaha, Jackson and Pottawatomie County Conservation Districts will be held Saturday, Feb. 16, at the community building in Corning.

Registration for the Women in Agriculture Event, “The Heart of the Farm,” will begin at 8 a.m. that day, with presentations starting at 8:30 a.m. Both men and women are welcome to attend this free and informative event.

Information about the speakers for this special event are listed below.

* The keynote speaker will be Chad Pregracke. Pregracke is living proof that even a single person can make a difference. Growing up along the Mississippi River, he was both marveled by the river’s beauty and frustrated with its plight due to years of neglect and pollution.

So at the age of 17, he set out on a mission to do something about the disregarded river. Since 1998, when Living Lands & Waters was established, 10 million pounds of garbage has been removed by Pregracke, his crew and more than 100,000 volunteers from 23 rivers in 20 states.

Pregracke is accomplishing his mission to clean up America’s rivers and launch a social movement that engages people and betters the world in the process.

* Bret Henderson is a financial officer with Frontier Farm Credit in Manhattan. Henderson grew up in western Kansas and graduated from Kansas State University, majoring in finance and management information systems.

He has worked in the Farm Credit System since 2005, first with Farm Credit Services Southwest in Tempe, Ariz. and now with Frontier Farm Credit since 2016. He works in partnership with customer-owners to choose the proper financial and risk management

products that will enable success in their operations. Henderson’s talk will tell everyone how to run their farm like a good business.

* Carey Portell will share a gut-wrenching story about when she and two of her children were involved in a fatal drunk driving crash which left her with partial disabilities.

Unable to work outside the home, Portell manages the operations of their 1,100-acre farm in central Missouri and has chosen to turn her tragedy into something good by sharing her story.

“My four-year recovery after being the survivor of a drinking and driving collision has sparked a passion to inspire others along a positive path in life,” Portell said.

* Gretchen Stroberg is a registered dietitian married to a third-generation farmer and rancher in central Kansas.

Stroberg has dabbled in clinical nutrition, outpatient nutrition and group nutrition education and she enjoys spending time in her own kitchen preparing meals for her hungry family.

As a practicing dietitian, Stroberg was shocked by the amount of fear of food that exists in the community. She began “Pastures and Plates” in an effort to challenge common food myths and build confidence in foods being enjoyed by families all around. It is her hope that a better understanding of food will eliminate unnecessary fears.

Stroberg will demonstrate how to repurpose those leftovers into fun and healthy meals that will have your family wanting more.

* Traci Turner was raised on a farm in Washington County. After working in special education for 15 years, Turner retired and became a full-time “bling babe” with Premier Designs Jewelry. She has been an accessory stylist for more than 14 years and loves showing women how to love fashion and create their own unique style.

Her mission is to serve the needs of the women she meets

and remind them that earrings can change your attitude. Watch as Turner shows everyone how to “shop your closet” utilizing clothes and jewelry to go from work to kids’ events to meetings and everything in between.

* Imagine watching your home, farm or ranch being destroyed by fire. Many people would just give up. The Giles sisters, Molly Giles-Beckford, Katie Shaw and Jenny Betschart and their families lost almost everything in the wildfires that swept through Clark County in 2017.

Rather than give up, these three sisters fought through the wildfires and their passion for agriculture to put their homes,

farms and ranches back together. They are partners with their parents in The Giles Ranch, a commercial Angus operation.

A light breakfast will be served in the morning and is sponsored by Heinen Brothers Agra Services. There will be a break in presentations at noon for lunch, catered by Home Cookin’ of Seneca, and is sponsored by Ag Partners.

In order to know how much food to prepare for the Women in Agriculture Event, please contact the Nemaha County Conservation District at (785)336-2186 ext. 110 or register online at tinyurl.com/nemaha2019 no later than Feb. 9.

Wade Stanton BrockDarien and Cody Brock of

Onaga are happy to announce the birth of their son, Wade Stanton Brock, on Jan. 9, 2019, at Community Hospital of Onaga. He weighed 7 pounds and 7 ounces and was 20 ½ inches long.

Grandparents are Stan and the late Charlotte Brock of Olsburg and Dale Klahr of Holton.

By Sophia SamanoWHS Student CorrespondentTattoos are not a new

fashion, but they seem to be becoming more popular in recent years, especially among youth.

Many teens get their tattoos for special reasons or simply to have an art piece. Matching tattoos also seem to be popular with parents and their children or between siblings.

“I believe that having a matching tattoo with my brother brings us together even when we’re not physically together, and allows you to have a permanent reminder of a person you love,” Alyssa Davis, Wetmore senior, said.

In a recent survey of Wetmore High School

students, it was found that most students did not have a tattoo but most wanted to or were thinking of getting one in the future.

“If I were to get a tattoo, it would be a flower because, as a kid, my grandpa always took me to flower gardens and the tattoo would represent him,” junior Ashely Flowers said.

There were a select few, however, that did not want any tattoos.

“I’m scared of needles, and I don’t want it to hurt so I do not want a tattoo,” said Savannah Stallbaumer, a junior.

Adults also had their own opinions of tattoos.

“I worry that getting a tattoo might backfire on students when they apply

for jobs. Some companies don’t like visible tattoos, and someone having a tattoo would take a job seeker out of contention for a job,” said Linda Boyd, WHS English teacher.

Other adults felt that tattoos were not that important.

“I have two, my daughter has three,” said secretary Bridget Davis. “It’s not that big of a deal.”

Despite varying opinions, it appears that tattoos aren’t going away any time soon.

Continued from Page 1opinions on “what transpired that night” and evidence regarding al leged “civil rights violations” against McKinney by officers.

Furthermore, Delaney said McK inney was being held at the Shawnee County Detention Center rather than the Jackson County jail over “safety con-cerns” and asked that McKinney be allowed to stay at a safe loca-tion in Jackson County in order to have “a good night’s sleep” before the trial.

Marek told Delaney to take that particular request up with the Jack son County Sheriff’s

Office.“I don’t know what the secu-

rity concern is,” Marek told Del-aney. “If it’s possible, it would be a good idea. But ultimately, it’s the sheriff’s pre rogative to make sure that he (McK inney) is delivered here in time for his trial.”

Marek also said that arrange-ments should be made to have McKinney appearing in court wearing civilian clothing, as well as appearing with out shack-les, for his trial. If the latter issue presented a security concern, he added, “we’ll talk about that in advance” of the trial.

Crowder later stated that the charge was blown out of propor-tion, that no threats of actual vi-olence were communicated and that he was attempting to stick up for a family member who was reportedly being bullied,

it was reported. But RV school officials said that the per ceived nature of the text meant that stu-dents in the district could be in danger.

Marek said the criminal threat charge was classified as a level 9 person felony under Kansas law, with a potential prison sentence

ranging from five to 17 months, ac cording to Kansas sentenc-ing guidelines, although pre-sumed pro bation is possible for Crowder de pending on his prior criminal record. The telephone harassment charge is classified as a misdemeanor, it was re-ported.

Continued from Page 1The investigation unit is

tasked with crime scene inves-tigation, which includes docu-menting the crime scene, col-lecting evidence and submitting biological evidence, narcotics, firearms and cyber evidence to the state crime lab.

The Jackson County Sher-iff’s investigation unit has also helped and investigated crimes for other law enforcement de-partments in the county and out-side the county, including cases with the state of Kansas and fed-eral law enforcement agencies.

In 2018, the unit investigated an alleged domestic homicide.

“The investigations division quickly responded to the scene of the shooting, interviewed wit-nesses and collected evidence,” Morse said. “The unit also works closely with county and federal prosecutors to prepare and tes-tify in court trials and motions.”

The division uses a large 1990 box-style Ford truck as its Major Incident Response Unit.

“In 2018, the MIRU was up-

dated with some of the most sophisticated crime scene equip-ment available. The vehicle is also equipped with internet, a generator, a variety of radio com-munications equipment that is interoperable with all other law enforcement and public safety agencies,” Morse said. “The vehicle serves also as a mobile office, allowing investigators to prepare search warrants on scene, send them electronically to a judge and receive them back without ever leaving site. This saves valuable time since crime scenes can be as far as 30 miles from the sheriff’s office within the county.”

The vehicle also provides a controlled environment to pro-cess, test and package evidence. It also provides for a backup dispatch in times of disaster, as well as place for crisis negotia-tions. The vehicle has also been used as a mobile command cen-ter, which provides a location near the scene of an incident for public safety commanders to oversee operations.
