Sealing the deal Workers with Circle C Paving of Goddard began seal coating the east half of Hillsboro’s Main Street on Monday, plus the entire 100 block of East Grand Avenue. The Axys mastic surface treatment was sprayed onto the streets primarily by truck (top photo), but some manual application was required to cover corner areas (lower photo). The company was to seal coat the west half of Main Street and the entire 100 block of West Grand on Tuesday. The project, postponed several days because of rain, required no parking in the targeted area during the day. City officials said the project is “an important maintenance project to extend the life of those streets.”

Whether ordained by birth order or as an outgrowth of her upbringing, Susan Beeson sees her journey to the superintendent’s role at USD 397-Centre as a natural extension of who she is and wants to be.

“I was the oldest of four children, so I kind of took a leadership role early in life, and I have kind of been driven by passion and love for others,” said Beeson, who was raised in Texas and southwest Oklahoma, and shaped by the positive influence of her grandparents.

“I feel like I’ve grown up

as a servant of people, particularly children, and as a strong advocate for education,” she said Beeson comes to Centre after three years as superintendent at USD 505 ChetopaSt. Paul in southeast Kansas.

Ironically, the girls’ basketball teams from the two high schools played each other at state this past March. Beeson said she was cheering for St. Paul at the time, but was already looking into the opening at Centre.

“I was seeking an opportunity to continue to work in a rural setting, advocating for innovative programing and an environment where we’re focused on edu-

Common feelings Loffer said Joanne’s feelings of hopelessness are common for those who have experienced abuse.

“This is indicative of what we see, feeling like the system was abusive to her,” she said.

The first thing Loffer did was find ways to help stabilize Joanne’s feelings of hopelessness, she said, and it often meant bringing her through “the next 15-minutes of a crisis.”

HILLSBORO FARMERS MARKET July 16—The Hillsboro Legion Auxiliary will be serving sausage sandwiches with sides.

Look for the Hillsboro Farmers Market from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. every Thursday at Memorial Park. Your patronage is appreciated. Questions about the market should be directed to Lena Hall at 947-3506.

Prof to speak on prehistoric Kansas The Cottonwood Crossing Chapter of the Santa Fe Trail Association will host “Kansas B.C.,” a presentation by Donald Blakeslee, at 7 p.m. July 23, in the community room at the Goessel City Building, located on Cedar Street, one-half block south of Main Street.

Blakeslee, an expert on prehistoric and early historic Plains life, is professor of anthropology at Wichita State University. He has done fieldwork throughout the Great Plains and is the author of four books and numerous articles on anthropology.

His presentation will focus on Kansas in the era

prior to Columbus. The prehistoric inhabitants of Kansas traveled widely, even to central Mexico and traded with the Pueblo people of the Southwest. Evidence indicates they were interested in arcane subjects such as meteors and meteorites and were part of a continent-wide intellectual tradition.

“It is easy to imagine that the small human communities that occupied Kansas for thousands of years would have existed in relative isolation, focused on hand-to-mouth existence—but nothing could be further from the truth,” Blakeslee said.

Members of the community are invited to attend the free program, which is made possible by a grant from the Kansas Humanities Council.

Cafes I miss from years ago

EDITORIAL

Digital divide? n Digital communication is great for those who can afford the technology. What about the rest?

T

echnology is pushing the world toward a paperless work environment, and the evidence is growing locally. Directdeposit checking and online bill payments have been around for quite a while now, greatly reducing the need for paper checks.

The local school board began distributing its board agenda and documents in digital form several years ago, and the city council has moved toward digital meeting agenda and materials, too.

Going paperless is a cost benefit for those who can afford the technology and have the orientation to use it. It may be the inevitable destination for all of us, but for many it remains a foreign environment.

Change is not only constant, its pace is accelerating rapidly. Can our world avoid a great schism between the technologically rich and poor? —DR

Harking back to my Mennonite cuisine

I

know I need another hobby like I need a hole in the head, but I’m really thinking about taking up woodworking. With all the floods going on lately, you can never tell when a mini-Ark might come in handy. I wonder if there’s a market for pontoon barns?

Well, probably not. I should stick with FEARLESS what I’m good at, like knitting and cookFARM FRAU ing.

For those of you used to seeing me knitShana ting in public, I’m taking it private until it Thornhill cools off. As much as I like creating new things—and goodness knows I have plenty of projects to finish—a lapful of wool just doesn’t make a person feel cool when it’s 99 degrees with humidity to match. Sure, I could do lace, but sweat stains just don’t want to come out of merino or silk very easily.

In the meantime, be sure to check out the exhibits at the county fair next week. My shawl is one of them, and I’m sure they all are a real testament to skill and patience. The 4-Hers really put a lot of work into their projects too, so be sure to support your local 4-H club and encourage the kids.

My adventure this week was cooking. I’m Mennonite Brethren born and raised, and I adore the cuisine. You could have knocked my mom over with a feather when I first told her I knew how to make verenika. (Yes, I know, the spellings can vary. I’m using the ones my Grandma Schmidt and Great-Aunt Giesbrecht used.)

Where and when did I learn to make that, she had to know. Thankfully, Buhler had put out a centennial cookbook years ago, which I was privileged to not only receive as a gift, but hang onto through numerous moves. I followed the directions in it the first time, then added my own tweaks. Not difficult, just time consuming. She was amazed. I was tickled.

Conference generated energy

O

h, the things you will learn.

Sometimes, with all the hustle and bustle of life and work, I get stuck in a rut of doing the same ol’ thing over and over again.

AS I SEE IT Last month was anything but that for Joey Young Lindsey and me, though.

We got out of our routine and drove to Columbia, Mo., for the International Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors Conference, where we heard from world-renowned journalists on subjects that ranged from investigative journalism to simple ways to incorporate video onto your website.

We had the newspaper critiqued as well, and as always, we will tweak and play with certain things as we learn about this flowing world of media.

This year, we even had a friend from Alberta, Canada, follow us home from the conference to see our operation, compare ours with his, and continue our in-depth discussions on what we can do to improve our products.

Beyond all that, though, the one thought that I had reinforced was the idea that newspapers and journalism

aren’t going anywhere.

Not only are weeklies from all over the world thriving right now, many have competition in small communities that some would say don’t have the base for it.

Yet, here we stand. Years after the radio, television and Internet were supposed to wipe our existence off the map, we continue to publish what is happening in our communities.

Not only that, at 30 years old, I wasn’t close to the youngest person at the conference excited about our industry.

I hung out with some savvy old vets for sure, but many of the attendees were 23- to 35-year-olds who had taken over newspapers and wanted to learn and just happen to be as excited as I am.

What Lindsey and I learned at this conference—more than all the things we can do in this industry—is that there is an excitement for it.

A boost of energy and excitement is good for anyone. So for that, I am glad we took the time to take in a truly great conference.

Summer ‘island’ has its perks

W

e may be farremoved from an island, but we’re living in its time zone this summer.

Our family has limited commitments right now, and I’m relishing in LIPSTICK the slowed-down pace of & PEARLS summertime. So when the calendar flipped to Malinda Just July, I had a brief moment of panic when I realized school shopping was a mere month away.

But with 36 days left before school starts, who wants to dwell on the inevitable?

With our young family, summer is a sweet time. We hang out at the pool, treat ourselves to Igloos, jump on the trampoline and be all-around carefree.

Instead of merely having a cup of coffee in the mornings, I enjoy it.

The kids can stay in pajamas until lunch (and sometimes they do).

We can afford a few late bedtimes in exchange for family music night where my husband pulls out his bass and we jam (dancing included) to Go Fish Guys on Spotify.

After a family walk to check out the playground progress at Hillsboro Elementary, island life allows for hanging out well past the time of lightning bugs with friends and their kids, chatting in the street and watching spirited games of basketball.

Only in summer does the wheat rustle in a Kansas breeze, ripening in time for harvest—and combine rides.

During harvest, our family turns farmer full time. My husband uses vacation days to man the combine or provide

whatever help his dad needs. The kids take turns—or all cram in—for combine rides or elevator runs.

While it wasn’t necessary for me to drive a grain truck this year, my motherin-law and I brought food to the field every day.

As any farmer or farmer’s wife knows, during harvest week, staying on schedule is impossible. More often than not, I was still at the farm to catch glorious sunsets uninhibited by houses and tree lines. The beauty of those evenings is still in my head and captured on a camera.

At the end of harvest, summer allowed for a spontaneous trip to Kansas City to visit Sea Life Aquarium and Legoland. Although, unbeknownst to us, Rolling Stones had scheduled a tour stop in KC at Arrowhead Stadium for the same weekend, so finding a last-minute hotel was impossible.

We ended up booking a hotel in Ottawa. By the time we drove there, that hotel also was sold out. I never imagined our kids would be able to reminisce about the time we took a summer vacation to Ottawa…but it kind of compares to my own family’s vacation adventure to Abilene.

We lingered with friends and family over a Fourth of July barbecue, complete with the tamest fireworks available at Charlie’s.

Many hours have been spent crafting, painting, drawing and coloring outside the lines.

The girls completed swimming lessons, reviewing and surpassing previous skills and comfort levels.

really like the way The Lumberyard looks with the new red paint job it recently received. It PARTLY anchors the corner of NONSENSE Ash and Joel Klaassen Grand with a strong statement.

Makes me want to go paint something red. n I really miss a lot of restaurants that used to be in Marion County. The first one that comes to mind is the Kingfisher Inn at the county lake.

We used to love to go there on Saturday night and eat fried chicken, steak and the manicotti, not to mention the salad bar with liver paté. n Others that come to mind are: Old Towne Restaurant, with its Low German buffet on Saturday night featuring the usual treats of sausage, verenika, fried potatoes, cherry moos and the dessert table.

I would always take a piece of chocolate pie first to make sure I would get one before they could possibly be gone. n Going back a bit further would be Plett’s Cafe with its hot beef sandwiches, which were really, really good. Wish I could still get one.

For those of you who weren’t around then, Plett’s was located where the Emprise Bank drive thru is now. n And I can’t forget the Peter Pan ice cream store located in the 100 block of South Main on the west side of the street. A great place to meet the girls and hang out. n Other favorites from times gone by were the Magnolia Cafe on Central and Woodlawn in Wichita, with its Cajun fare such as jambalaya and other hot and spicy entrees. n Or Shakey’s Pizza at 13th and Oliver. I think that pizza place preceded Pizza Hut. We had homemade pizza at home, but nothing like Shakey’s back then. n I am hoping to get out of my sling by the time you see me again. I think six weeks is long enough to have my good arm in jail.

I didn’t think it was possible to have muscles become that bound up in that short of a time. But apparently the muscles can’t help themselves. n As soon as the Marion County jail sales tax sunsets somewhere in the early 2020s, and the swimming pool bonds are paid off with the Hillsboro half-cent sales tax in 2025, if the city council then decides to pass an ordinance to end it, and with the state sales tax staying the same, our sales tax will drop to 7.5 percent— which sounds much better. n I almost forgot to mention Hillsboro Sundries for its soda fountain, where you could get a tasty ice cream shake or a refreshing green river fountain drink.

It was located on East Grand, two doors west of Plett’s Cafe with Schultz Grocery sandwiched between those two businesses. First National Bank was then located on the corner of Main and Grand. n If you wish to share your comments or ideas, my e-mail address is joel@ hillsborofreepress.com.

“The big thing you hear about domestic violence is why doesn’t (the victim) leave, and that is such is such a victimblaming statement.

Because if you understand how abusers choose victims, they really have lost the power.”

—TERESA LOFFLER,

n from Page 1

important,” Loffer said And, Joanne said, she had to learn how to trust.

Last month Dickinson County Court in Abilene awarded Joanne full legal custody of her now 15-yearold daughter.

Joanne said while she used to be scared of her daughter’s dad, she’s not anymore.

“He knew he was done for because the state was finally listening to what I was saying,” she said about the June 16 court ruling.

At the hearing, Joanne provided documentation verifying her daughter had been living in an abusive situation with her father.

“I had it gathered in my head but it had to be in paper,” she said. “They couldn’t just go by what I was saying.”

Part of the goal-setting process involved Loffer teaching Joanne how to gather information to support her case.

“She was gathering the evidence she needed to prove (the abuse) was really happening,” Loffer said.

Joanne said she will continue to focus on getting custody of her son.

Victim blaming Loffer said she sees many who face “victim blaming,” the idea that victims have control over what they experience.

“The big thing you hear about domestic violence is why doesn’t (the victim) leave, and that is such is such a victim-blaming statement,” she said. “Because if you understand how abusers choose victims, they really have lost the power.

“Sometimes victims don’t have the will or the ability to leave,” she added.

“It feels safer to stay, and that might be a lifesaving decision for them.”

Loffer said everyone makes choices daily to walk out of the door or go to the grocery store to meet someone.

“Just because (a woman) gets involved with a person who ends up being an abuser doesn’t mean she did anything wrong,” she said.

Like Joanne, many caught in domestic violence face situations beyond their choosing.

“By circumstance,

VICTIM ADVOCATE

Joanne’s abusers were her parents and her daughter’s father,” Loffer said. “Both of them ended up with custody of the children, and continued to abuse her through the children.

“That’s what abuse is— they use children as leverage,” she added.

Plus, social welfare and court systems as well as people’s assumptions can add to difficulties faced by victims caught in abuse.

“Instead of seeing Joanne as someone who needs help working through a trauma, they’ve been punitive with her,” Loffer said.

“Once we start working on those things, she becomes more stable, making better choices.”

Advocate role As a victim advocate, Loffer provides crisis intervention for those who have experienced sexual assault and domestic violence.

Victims can call 620-2416615, which is her McPherson office, or use the 24/7 crisis hotline at 620-6632522 or 1-800-701-3630.

“We offer face-to-face or victim-led services that they need,” Loffer said. “If we can’t meet those needs, we try to find a place that will.”

Loffer said she can go to court with them or provide a ride if needed.

“We don’t tell a victim what to do,” she said, “My job is to impart what I know, but she makes the decision, whether or not I agree with it.”

Since assuming her role two years ago, Loffer said she’s found that Marion County is doing a good job investigating and taking care of child sexual abuse.

“But in the majority of adult cases,” Loffer said, “they aren’t seeing the inside of a courtroom. We don’t have child abusers without the other.

“I think it starts with education on victim blaming.”

like to consider myself a patient person.

I feel like I have a relatively high tolerance for tedious tasks.

But after squeezing the juice out of SPICE UP eight key limes, I YOUR LIFE realized my patience Lindsey has limits.

Young Fortunately, after tasting the delicious key lime pie I made after squeezing all of those limes, I discovered my patience (or lack thereof) was totally worth it.

If you’re looking for a rich, pretty pie to help beat the summer heat, I highly recommend this recipe. I found it on the blog “Mom on Time Out.” You can find it at http://www.momontimeout.com/20 15/03/best-key-lime-pie-recipe/. *** Best Key Lime Pie Crust ingredients 1 1/2 cups graham crackers,

crushed 1/3 cup sugar 6 tablespoons butter, melted Filling ingredients 2, 14-ounce cans sweetened condensed milk (I used fat free) 1/2 cup sour cream (I used fat free) 3/4 cup key lime juice (8 to 9 key limes) zest from 4 key limes Directions Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Combine the graham crackers, sugar and butter and then press the mixture into an eight- or nine-inch pie pan.

Bake for seven minutes, and then let the crust cool for about 30 minutes (I put mine in the fridge after it cooled a bit to hurry up the process, but it took me so long to squeeze all those little limes that it worked out perfectly.).

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Whisk together all the ingredients for the filling and pour the mix-

ture into the prepared pie crust.

Bake for 10 minutes.

After the pie cools slightly, put it in the refrigerator until it’s fully chilled, which will take around three hours (I put mine in the freezer, so it was ready a lot more quickly.). *** We enjoyed this pie while we were watching fireworks on the Fourth, and it was a great dessert to share with family and friends.

I think it would also be really good if you made the crust with chocolate graham crackers, so I may try that the next time I make one of these, but that will have to be after my fingers recover from all of my lime squeezing for this one.

backup when routine maintenance is being done on the city’s larger, newer tower.

Paine said if the old tower would be eliminated, the city would be required by the state to invest about $68,000 for a pair of variable-speed drives at the water plant to ensure necessary pressure.

After reviewing options with Morgan Marler, the city’s senior water treatment technician, Paine said they had concluded “that the level of expense...was necessary” and he recommended the change order be approved.

Beyond the purchase price of the replacement drives, Councilor Shelby Dirks suggested that ongo-

ing maintenance on the mechanical drives likely would cost more than maintenance on a non-mechanical tower.

The original repair project was to have cost $159,360, with $103,500 of it covered by a grant the city received through the state’s Heritage Trust Fund.

Bartel House project The council accepted a funding plan from the city’s Museum Advisory Board to palletize stones from the 1879 Heinrich Bartel House and move them from their current location 1.5 miles north of Hillsboro to the city’s public works yard for temporary storage.

As always, I was doing this after everyone else had gone to bed. It was the nearest compromise I could figure to make them and distribute the little golden bits of heaven before they got more than a few hours old.

At least everything went off without a hitch. The oil was properly heated, the dough was doughy, and my trusty rolling pin did its thing. Of course, I had to let them cool before stacking them (wouldn’t want soggy spots!), so it took a while longer than I’d planned.

Small price to pay to revive tradition. I soldiered on. I made the watermelon pie too, because you can never have too much dessert at a potluck.

Morning came, I sugared them, and we shared them.

As it turns out, the Jell-O, Cool Whip and watermelon

pie filling tastes pretty amazing on crullers. From now on, I’m going to serve it as a dip, with the crullers in place of chips. Voila, new menu idea.

Seems to me like the best new things have a firm footing in old traditions. Somebody fiddled with the ratios of flour to milk to cream (and solved the mysteries of baking soda and powder) to get the recipe to turn out right in the first place.

I can add all kinds of foofiness to it, but unless I follow the original recipe, I’m not going to get what I intended. Appreciate the newness of things, but don’t discount the worth of the old ways.

The bear played with the flag stuck into one of the holes on the course, and then upped the ante by stealing the ball, because apparently it doesn’t see why it couldn’t participate in the game.

On one occasion, a herd of bison made itself at home on the Jackson Hole Golf Course in Jackson, Wyo. Asking if you can play through probably isn’t advised in this case.

The course superintendent says the damage to the greens can be a headache. State wildlife officials have tried to shoo the bison away with sprinklers and noise makers, but in the end, club officials say the bison usually get their way.

According to a story on the Internet, course rules have changed. The holes with bison on them are now Par 30s.

It’s probably not surprising to learn that the Estes Park Golf Course in Colorado might have issues with wild elk, especially during the fall rut. A few years ago, 100-150 elk overran the course, ramming golf carts, butting heads and creating a daily clean-up routine.

Then there’s the case of a college golf tournament that was called off in Texas because of an unusual hazard: bees. A limb from a tree holding an estimated 70,000 bees fell and exposed a beehive at Waterchase Golf Club in Fort Worth.

hat last big rain was a godsend— million dollar rains is what I call them!”

Marion County Agricultural Extension Agent Rickey Roberts said the importance of the 21⁄2-inch general rain a week ago can hardly be overemphasized.

One of the issue in regard to the soybean crop was that some farmers started planting soybeans, but were interrupted by rains that forced them wait until fields were dry enough to continue planting.

In many cases, the first beans had already sprouted and were developing when the ones planted later in the same fields were just germinating.

Would the late beans reduce yields in a similar fashion to the way secondcrop soybeans planted after wheat harvest usually aren’t expected to yield as much as spring-planted beans?

“At this point, I’m generally optimistic for all the (fall) crops,” Roberts said.

“The bigger question for beans is not when they’re planted, but how much time they will have to grow before we get fall frost?”

An early frost in September could stop plant development too soon for optimum

yields, he said, while a late October frost could allow beans to maximize the yield.

“And look at that corn,” he added. “We’re likely to have a good corn crop.”

If the county continues to get rain on a regular

basis without floods or hail, Roberts said, farmers could enjoy the best fall harvest they’ve had for some time.

“At this point in time, I’m pretty optimistic for all the fall crops. The cool weather with the rain has been great

for them, too,” he said.

As if to emphasize his point, more rain began falling Friday morning, although temperatures were predicted to approach triple digits later in the weekend and into the current week.

Charlotte Coleman was a food bank user and graduate of Circles, an organization helping people to eradicate poverty.

“Charlotte is now a Circles leader and has two fulltime jobs at Carlson’s Grocery and one other place,” he said. “She gives a perspective that I value.”

Need is great “While our demand increased fourfold—at least— our supply hasn’t kept up with that,” he said. “What I am trying to do now is work on things like a website to send letters to businesses, churches, civic organizations and such.”

Because the Marion County Food Bank and Resource Center is affiliated with MAC, Henderson said some attractive things go with that.

“MAC has a 501c3 designation so people can donate through MAC and use it as a tax writeoff,” he said.

“Since we have affiliation with MAC and 501c3, we have been able to tap into

the new Wal-Mart store in Hillsboro, allowing them to get rid of frozen meat.”

He said Wal-Mart can participate because it is able to give food to groups with a 501c3 for tax purposes.

A county affair If people come from other towns in Marion County, Henderson said they will be served.

“We don’t ask if they went to their other food bank—that is up to them,” he said. “We emphasize serving all people from all parts of the county and we do need a little support from all parts of the county, too.”

One example he cited involved a farmer that didn’t live in town but made a $500 donation after harvest.

“That is the kind of help we need,” he said.

Another advantage of being a 501c3 is that the food bank can affiliate with the Kansas Food Bank warehouse in Wichita, he said.

“What we spend at the Kansas Food Bank is invested in what is called, ‘Invest an Acre,’ which takes whatever you donate and doubles it,” he said.

A great asset Henderson said the food bank couldn’t run without Gene Winkler.

“He is one of the most

giving people I have ever known,” Henderson said.

“He makes trips to WalMart to pick up meat (even though) we have a couple of other guys that do it.”

Henderson said Winkler also made most of the trips to the warehouse in Wichita with his vehicle and trailer.

“When we needed some kind of a record system, he set us up on an Excel spreadsheet, so we quit doing paper and pencil stuff,” he said. “Gene is just there all the time.”

Procedure When someone comes into the food bank, Henderson said they register at the front desk.

“Then someone will show you where you can pick up sacks and start around the shelves,” he said. “Whatever it takes to feed a family and yourself for two weeks is what is al-

lowed.”

Three freezers include pork, chicken and beef, and there is a lot of bread donated from the Wichita bank.

The frozen meat is free and so are potatoes from the WFB, he added.

“You are shopping just like you would be shopping in a grocery store,” he said.

People help themselves, Henderson said, for up to a two-week supply.

“It’s not my job to judge people,” he said. “There is someone in a much higher paygrade then us (who does that).”

Henderson said he and the other volunteers have faith the donations and needed help will continue.

“Still would like to let people know we are there in case they want to be God’s finger and write me a check for $1,000,” he said.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers say the mortars resembled a small-car muffler.

The Corps said that as early as 1917, the Army conducted military exercises and demonstrations in Forest Park. The shows included mock battles, which may explain why the mortars were on the golf course.

As Joe Barks wrote, “It looks like the Army was serious when it executed ‘flop’ shots in the early 1900s.”

from southeast Kansas, and when a superintendency at Chetopa-St. Paul became available, I was selected.”

New opportunities Beeson said she is excited by the opportunities she sees at Centre.

“This is a district that is thinking a little bit out of the box, and is doing things to sustain the opportunities for their rural students,” she said. “That’s really what education needs to be moving forward.”

Recent school-funding issues haven’t tempered her enthusiasm for the job.

Beeson said good preparation and planning is a prerequisite for being a superintendent.

“In the financial climate we’re in, it’s really important that we make conservative financial decisions,” she said. “It’s really important to track our expenditures and to recognize that at any moment, there could be changes in our monies.

“I think strategically, all of our resources should be aligned with our goals and our strategic plan,” she

added. “When the superintendent’s informed and providing that information to the board, then you can make informed decisions and everybody’s on the same page.”

Beeson said her immediate goal is to keep staff morale strong.

“That will be one of those things we’ll always be working on, as well as creating a supportive climate for kids, promoting our school and our programs, and demonstrating that Centre is providing a high-quality education, whether it be for our in-house students, which is super-important to me, or it be virtual students.

“We want to convey to our community and to in part to our students a highquality education at Centre.”

Beyond the job Beeson and husband Jim are parents to seven children, the youngest of which graduated from Pittsburg State this spring.

“Each and every one has benefited from public education, and have completed

11

post-secondary programs,” she said. “As the result of education, our kids have created success in their life and been blessed through education. That is very pleasing to us.”

The couple have made their home in Marion.

“My husband and I are swimming at the aquatic center, so you might see us there at any given time— whether it be 6 in the morning or 5 in the afternoon,” she said.

“One of the reasons we elected to move to Marion was the aquatic center and the opportunity for exercise.”

Beeson describes herself as a social person who welcomes interaction with the people—especially as it pertains to Centre schools.

“I have communicated with our staff and our board, and have given them my contact information to invite folks in,” she said.

“So people are coming in and saying hi. It’s been great. I love to talk to people about the kinds of services we offer at Centre for kids.”

Program to explore impact of Mennonites on mental health care A program of alternative also led to significant service that came about changes in mental health because of World War II care in the United States.

FAIR

SUPPER!

Thursday, July 23 • 4:30 to 7:00 p.m.

Takeout Available!

MENU INCLUDES

Few people in the United States were as unprepared for World War I as Kansas Mennonites. Predominantly farmers, they were opposed to military service for religious reasons and were largely of German descent, causing them to come under suspicion.

Later, with World War II looming, the Mennonites, Quakers and the Church of the Brethren proposed a system of alternative service called Civilian Public Service.

On July 19, Kauffman Museum at Bethel College will host “From Resisters to Reformers: How Kansas Mennonites Changed Mental Health Care,” a presentation and discussion

by Aaron Barnhart.

The program, at 3 p.m. in the museum auditorium, is made possible by the Kansas Humanities Council and is a part of Kauffman Museum’s regular SundayAfternoon-at-the-Museum series. It is free and open to the public.

Through CPS, many conscientious objectors were assigned to mental-health facilities. Barnhart’s presentation examines how CPS workers helped expose intolerable conditions at these institutions, leading to postwar reforms and a transformation of psychiatric care.

Barnhart, former TV and movie critic for the Kansas City Star, is a freelance writer who lives in Kansas City, Mo. “This talk is not just for

Mennonites,” Barnhart said, “but for anyone interested in the issues of personal conscience versus authority to the state, which is a theme as old as human history.”

“How Kansas Mennonites Changed Mental Health Care” is part of the Kansas Humanities Council’s Speakers Bureau, featuring presentations and discussions that examine shared human experience— innovations, culture, heritage and conflicts.
