Organizers were pleased with the overall attendance and events at this year’s 19th annual Chingawassa Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Marion. Although an unofficial tally, one committee member said he thought there were nearly 2,000 spectators at Saturday night’s Casey Donahew Band concert. Terry Jones, in charge of food

vendors, said those preparing hot dogs and other tempting dishes did well. “The barbecue vendor was new this year and a complete home run,” he said. “He ran out of meat and had to go to Carlson’s Grocery to purchase several hundred dollars more.” Even with the extra meat, Jones said the owner still ran out earlier than he wanted to. “Everyone had a great weekend,”

Jones added. Jones also talked about the Casey Donahew Band and its lead singer, Casey. “Shortly after the band’s arrival, they asked if they could put a team together for the 3-on-3 basketball tournament,” he said. Because the tournament had already started and there weren’t any slots left, the band decided to play n See Planners, Page 12

Learning center closed due to block-grant rule n With the state freezing FTE for two more years, ESSDACK forced to close four centers. BY

DON RATZLAFF

The Free Press

Requirements of the state’s block-grant funding plan for schools have led to the closure of the Marion County Learning Center in Hillsboro and similar centers in three other Kansas communities. The last day for local students was June 1, although the center does not have to vacate its location at 107 S. Main St. until June 30, according to Mike Cook, executive director of ESSDACK, the Hutchinsonbased agency that operates the centers in partnership with local school districts. “I sure hate it,” Cook said of the decision. “I love Hillsboro. It was a business deal. It had nothing to do with anything but dollars and cents.” Cook said its learning centers are funded by the state based on full-timeequivalency enrollment. ESSDACK recruits the students, per-pupil state funding is sent to the local

school district, which then pays ESSDACK to do the education. “What happened this year was that we operated that center at a loss,” Cook said. “So we actually had to take money out of other projects, or other sites, because we operate 17 of these learning centers across the state.” Centers that make money often subsidize those who don’t make a profit. “We take money and move it around and make sure they all stay afloat,” he added. “We’ve done that for years.” Frozen enrollment Normally, a center that loses money one year can make it up the next year by enrolling more students. However, under the state’s block-grant plan, FTE funding will be frozen at 2014-15 levels for the next two years. “If the money is frozen, you just guaranteed a loss for the next two years,” Cook said. “When we lost n See Center, Page 6

This month’s jam session is June 11. Remember, it is always the second Thursday of the month. Footcare is the third Tuesday of the month and Haris Zafar will be here on the third Wednesday of each month. Because of state budget cuts recently, the price of meals has gone up. The only

other alternative would be to start closing centers or suspending the meal program. For those reasons, the cost for those 60 and older is $3.50. For those under age 60, the cost is $5.25. Prices went into effect June 1. For those over age 60 who can’t afford to pay that much, please pay what you can. Those age 59 and younger still have a great deal at $5.25. Please don’t stop coming. We have great fellowship and great meals.

Come join us for a meal soon. For more information or to volunteer, stop by 212 N.

Anne Marie Yoder Anne Marie Yoder was born April 8, 1930 in Emporia, Kansas to Dr. John and Ruth Breukelman. She spent her childhood in Emporia traversing most of the lower 48 states with her biologist father and mother by the time she was 10. Anne and her younger sister Betty were joined by first cousin Neysa Koehler when she was still a young girl, creating a family of three ambitious girls. After WWII, Anne met a handsome veteran from Peabody, Kansas named Robert Yoder. They were married in Emporia, Kansas, December 28, 1947. For the next 34 years they operated the family farm NW of Peabody. They ventured into SPF hogs in the 50's and 60's . Later a grade A dairy kept the family busy. Five children were born to this union, Carol, Denis, Evan, Felisa, and Geri, who along with Anne and Bob, were a great start on the alphabet as she'd been told by a friend after the birth of Carol. Anne earned a Bachelor's degree from Bethel College and later a Masters degree from Emporia State during her time on the farm. Her first teaching position was as a special education instructor in the Hillsboro school system in the mid 1960's. During their formative years, Anne taught her children the beauty in a simple pearly white onion, the value of a good book, and to have a sense of humor. She never missed an opportunity to watch her children perform, be it in sports, 4H, or musical productions. The Peabody bands under the direction of Robert Marshall were a particular joy. She was a local legend in providing snacks at any gatherings involving her kids. Anne was a life-long fan of track and field and would tell stories of watching Al Feuerbach and Wilma Rudolf as they trained at Emporia State for the Olympics. A favorite memory was watching Jim Ryun set track records in Wichita in the 60's. Anne received an autographed poster from the legendary runner last year which was a special thrill. All her life Anne loved theater and could hum along with any of the classic Broadway musicals, a gift she was given by her parents. After moving off the farm in 1983, Anne worked extensively with the Music Theater of Wichita, coordinating outings for senior citizens and rarely missed a rehearsal or performance. While rehabilitating in Parkside Homes in Hillsboro from a broken hip suffered a month earlier, Anne took a turn for the worse and passed away on Friday, June 5 at Hillsboro Community Medical Center. Anne was preceded in death by her husband Robert, parents John and Ruth Breukelman, and granddaughter Shari Hylton. Survivors include children Carol (Blaine) Warkentine, Denis (Kim) Yoder, Evan (Becki) Yoder, Felisa Osburn, Geri Doll, 13 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren, sisters Betty Schelske (Claire) and Neysa Eberhard. A memorial service will be held Saturday, June 20 at 2:00 First Presbyterian Church in Wichita. Memorials designated to Music Theater of Wichita. Memorials in care of Jost Funeral Home P.O.

DIY effort fixes the problem

Keep cutting? n At some point, smaller government is not userfriendly for both citizens and businesses.

ith some political slight of hand, Gov. Brownback avoided the first government shutdown in Kansas history, created by the Legislature’s inability to agree on a revenue strategy to cover the state’s $400 million budget hole. The governor signed a bill Saturday defining all state employees as “essential,” thus negating the furlough of some 24,000 “non-essential” workers. For now, at least. Amid the political bickering, many people wonder why legislators didn’t cover the deficit by simply cutting additional expenses, as any family or business would do when income falls short. Of course, most families and businesses aren’t foolish enough to purposely eliminate a reliable revenue source to prompt an “experiment” in frugality. But here’s our point: reducing the size of government comes with a price. Rep. Don Hineman, a clear-thinking Republican from Dighton, states in his recent newsletter: “We can continue to cut and produce smaller government, but there will be consequences. Smaller government is not userfriendly, and that affects both the citizens and the businesses within the state.” Hineman cites several examples: n delays in filing a legal case and receiving a legal hearing; n vehicle registration renewal forms are no longer mailed; n the number of commercial driver’s license examining locations is reduced; n our child is suddenly in a classroom of 30 students instead of 23. n our grandchildren no longer have access to programs that kept them interested in school; n convicted criminals are released from prison early due to lack of corrections personnel or bedspace. No one likes to pay more taxes, and government has an obligation to run efficiently. But in a healthy society, responsible citizens can abide a moderate level of taxation that supports not only their personal interests, but the betterment of the broader community. —DR

Legislative gridlock prolonging session

he legislative session continues. We are approaching a record-long session with no apparent solution in sight. The longest session on record was in 2002 with 107 days.

Earthquakes are on the rise

s a Kansan, I never thought I would feel an earthquake, at least not while within the borders of my own state, and certainly not within the confines of my home. FREE FALLING But, it is happening with Bob Woelk more and more regularity these days. Friday evening, as I sat at my computer contemplating a subject for my next column, I felt the earth move. I have felt temblors in the past, though I was never sure if I was feeling an earthquake or just a truck rumbling by on the street in front of my house. The only other time I was sure the ground was shaking was at 4 in the morning when I just happened to be awake. The TV on the wall in the bedroom shook for a few seconds. It was certainly less than dramatic, and it was more than a year ago. But, when I felt Friday’s quake, it was a no-brainer. I knew immediately what was going on. It was less of a vibration and more of a shake from way down deep, kind of like when I have too many burritos in a 24-hour span. I wanted to confirm that I was right, so I waited a couple of hours and checked my smartphone. I have several weather apps on, but the only one I know of that has earthquake information is the Storm Team 12 app from KWCH. It

shows what look like small targets of various colors and sizes. Each represents an earthquake. I am constantly amazed by how many tremors happen each day in southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma. The one I experienced was a 4.0 magnitude on the Richter Scale with its epicenter 6 kilometers north-northeast of Anthony. It rumbled at 6:12 p.m. It was one of six that were showing in the region for the previous two days. According to earthquaketrack.net, there were three more quakes in Kansas on Saturday, 10 in the previous seven days, 37 in the past month and a whopping 660 in the past year. Oklahoma has recorded 1,839 in the past 12 months. Are all these earthquakes the result of the oil exploration method known as fracking? I have no doubt that human activity in the area is at least partially to blame for the shaking ground. Others may disagree, but there is no doubt that the phenomenon is recent. Something has changed. Earthquakes fascinate me, probably because I did not grow up experiencing them on a regular basis. I remember my dad talking about one when I was a kid, but that was as close as I came before the seismic activity began to ramp up a few years ago. I don’t want to feel a temblor on the scale of the recent quakes in Nepal. I doubt we will be seeing anything close n See Woelk, Page 5

Protecting your down time “I want summer to feel like summer again.... Unfettered by adults’ fears. Unshackled from adults’ expectations. Feel to play—yes, even as teenagers—free to live PARTS OF their own lives and learn something about who SPEECH they are, and who they Shelley Plett hope to be... in an afternoon that would turn into evening, with little regard for bedtime or what was on the schedule for tomorrow. I want 10 weeks of deep breaths and exhales. What bloomed there was resourcefulness, imagination and something that is so scarce even amid plenty today, a sense of self.” — JULIE LYTHCOTT-HAIMS, NYT

“Y

ou’re just protecting your time.” This is how a friend— who has more experience than me, having raised two adult children and now has adult grandchildren—put into words what I couldn’t. I questioned what I viewed as my own tendency to do less than average during the summer. By that I mean less of the constant stream of scheduled activities, potlucks, fundraisers, get-togethers, committees, commitments and other abundant “opportunities.” I have carried around a lot of guilt about what I don’t do, but in spite of those nagging feeling, I’m still propelled to “not do” some of it anyway.

My friend assured me that own her daughter and son-in-law felt the same way when they were raising their daughters. She said they made it a point to protect their time with their kids and to say, no, when they felt the need, against expectations, to say, no. And just maybe, they are better off for it. So what about summer vacation? I have always had this crazy idea in my head that the school years—the ones from ages 5 to 18—are the only ones when the summer months can actually translate into a summer break. Is that so wrong? It’s very likely that this will be the only chance for kids to do kid things while being an actual kid. As adults, we all know how quickly that opportunity passes. I am partial to the lazy days of summer because long ago and far away, I had them myself. I remember summer as something special. Carefree, easy days with air conditioning or the pool, ice cream, or maybe just the couch and a cassette recording of that week’s American Top 40. And I’m OK for it. “It’s hard for an individual family to resist the trend, and even harder to protect our children from feeling lesser because—at least from a resume perspective—they’ve done less,” said writer Julie Lythcott-Haims in a New York Times article. “But doing ‘nothing’ isn’t nothing. It’s doing the regular share of n See Plett, Page 5

few weeks ago I wrote that I was going to try to fix my phone charger, which for PARTLY some unknown rea- NONSENSE son ended up Joel Klaassen in the driveway with the plug still in the car. I am happy to report that I did fix it and now have a spare for my truck. All it took was some solder that I found in our basement and a new solder gun, as my old one didn’t heat hot enough to melt the solder. It took some electrician’s black tape to tape everything back together. It is a function of usefulness and not of beauty. n I was reminded again why I try to buy in Kansas if I can’t buy local. Here’s why. When our previous janitor, Linda Ewert, left she bequeathed her industrial vacuum cleaner to us. The bag finally got so full it wouldn’t suck anymore. I went down the street to buy a replacement, but they did not have it. So, I went online and found three for $12 plus shipping, which was ground and would take a week. This was dumb, I thought, so I called the company and found out that Janitorial Services in Hutchinson or Wichita had them. Since UPS headquarters for Hillsboro is Hutch, I called them. As a bonus, I talked to real people both times. The woman in Hutchinson said they would send 10 bags for $16 and they would be here the next day. Problem solved. n If at all possible, I like to do business with companies who have real people answering the phone. And I don’t really believe the message that says, “Listen carefully as our menus have recently changed.” Something about that doesn’t seem true to me. I think they just don’t want to talk to you. What really gets me is when they ask you to say the answer. That is when I start yelling. When the recorded voice asks me to repeat because it didn’t understand, I yell even louder and that usually gets someone on the phone. Websites are another matter when no phone number can be found. For that reason the Free Press phone number is at the very top right of our home page. n What else is new? Postage went up again May 31. This time first-class stamps went up 3 cents as did post cards. The cost for standard mail and periodical mail also increased. But the good news for you is that the Free Press subscription is still free. n Everything we are reading says the big daily newspapers are struggling, but that community journalism is for the most part thriving. Especially when there is local ownership. Word is that USA Today will no longer be in print possibly in five to six years. And free papers like ours deliver the audience that advertisers are wanting. There are few familyowned dailies remaining in the U.S. When the big corporations take over, the focus turns to profits and everything else ranks well below. Most of them still make money, but not the massive profits they once made. n If you wish to share your comments or ideas, my e-mail address is joel@ hillsborofreepress.com.

LETTERS Gesture generous, but misdirected Thank-you to the anonymous Guardian of the Ribbon who gave my daughter a teddy bear at the Hillsboro Et Cetera shop and offered words of support and encouragement Saturday, June 6. It was a heartfelt and generous gesture. Awkwardly, however, the gesture was misdirected. Although I am a woman with no hair who sometimes wears a pink hat, I am not a cancer patient. I have Alopecia Areata, a condition in which my immune system attacks my own hair follicles and damages hair growth. Fourteen years ago, it began with a small patch on my scalp. Now it has spread over my head and to my eyelashes and brows. I find it more comfortable to shave the damaged, patchy hair rather than try to style it; and I personally feel confident being “bald” rather than wear a wig. My choice, however, has led to many false assumptions in public. I am frequently approached by strangers with questions about my health and my “treatment.” Almost always, these men and women are cancer survivors or have family members who survived or succumbed to cancer. In my bald head, I think, they sense shared experience, assuming I am part of their “club.” It is so difficult to respond. First of all, I don’t know how to just say, “I don’t have cancer,” without also explaining my real con-

nor, who want to raise sales taxes (they call it consumption taxes) as much as necessary to close the gap. To raise only sales tax would require a state sales tax in the neighborhood of 6.9 percent, but a few other adjustments could make the rate 6.65 percent. The current rate is 6.15 percent. Others would like to reverse the income tax reductions of 2012. The personal and business income tax reductions are responsible for nearly all of the 2012 reductions in revenue. Another group would settle for a mix of the two, and the final group is resolute in not voting for any kind of tax increases. That’s where things stand at this point. Several outside groups are advocating hard for no tax increases and I have even heard radio ads to that effect. Obviously, these are well-funded groups, but their opinions are not universal. Other groups are not so well-funded but their opinions are just as important. Obviously, there are many different ideas about what to do and more than a few ideas on how to solve this. Even more, getting a consensus in either the House or Senate to fix the problem seems unlikely. What may be possible to pass in the House may not be possible to pass in the Senate and vice versa. That’s why I said we truly are in gridlock over taxes with only small move-

dition—and this feels like an invasion of my privacy, coming from strangers in public places. Second, I feel I am letting them down, disappointing their hopes for a connection. Third, I feel like I am somehow then seen as an imposter or as masquerading for sympathy. While I appreciate the intention and compassion behind these strangers’ approaches, the longing to offer support and to share authentic human connection, it remains very awkward. I hope this letter helps all of us to pause and consider the assumptions and judgements we make about the strangers we encounter— for ill and for good purposes. I apologize, Guardian, for not explaining in person. Blessings to all who suffer and survive cancer, to their caregivers and families, to those who have lost loved ones, to those who continue to research and support the fight. And to those of us with less familiar maladies—may we find the support we need to live our lives in comfort and confidence. Audrey Ratzlaff, Rural Peabody

I’d never used it before, but it didn’t sound too scary. I discovered that it is amazing. It has an incredibly strong, nutty flavor and aroma, and I really like it. A little of it goes a long way. One of my favorite things to do with it is to make a package of ramen, leave out the spice packet and pour a little sesame oil over the drained noodles. I got to use it again this week when I decided to try a low-cal version of sesame chicken, which is one of my favorite dishes to get at Chinese food restaurants. This version is definitely lighter

n The deadliest earthquake in recorded history struck Shensi province in China in 1556, killing about 830,000 people. The 1976 magnitude 7.8 earthquake which struck Tangshan, China, killed somewhere between 250,000 and 800,000 people. In 2003, the magnitude 6.5 earthquake in Bam, Iran, killed more than 40,000 people. n In 2014 there were 585 M3 and greater earthquakes in Oklahoma and about 200 in California. As of April 2015, Oklahoma (260 events) is still well ahead of California (29 events). n It’s absolutely impossible that California will be swept out to sea during an earthquake. Instead, southwestern California is moving horizontally northward toward Alaska as it slides past central and eastern California. n Aftershocks cannot by definition be larger than the “mainshock.” If a later quake is the largest, it becomes the “mainshock,” and the others become “foreshocks.” It is possible for two earthquakes of the same size to occur simultaneously. n Humans cannot prevent earthquakes from happening, or stop them once they’ve started. n Changes in animal behavior cannot be used to predict earthquakes. Even though there have been documented cases of unusual animal behavior prior to earthquakes, a reproducible connection between a specific behavior and the occurrence of an earthquake has not been made. Because of their finely tuned senses, animals can often feel the earthquake at its earliest stages before the humans around it can. This

A magnitude 5 earthquake, for example, is actually 10 times larger than a magnitude 4, but it is 31.622 times stronger, according to the U.S. Geological Society website that includes a calculator to figure the relative sizes of quakes.

feeds the myth that the animal knew the earthquake was coming. n Many people believe that earthquakes are more common in certain kinds of weather. In fact, no correlation with weather has been found. n Fact: Earthquakes don’t kill people, buildings and their contents do. The greatest risk in an earthquake is the severity of the shaking it causes to manmade and natural structures and the contents within these that may fail or fall and injure or kill people. Also, the USGS recommends that people remain in buildings, lower themselves and hang on during quakes rather than flee outdoors or stand in doorways. n Earthquakes induced by human activity have been documented in the United States, Japan and Canada. The cause was injection of fluids into deep wells for waste disposal and secondary recovery of oil and the filling of large reservoirs for water supplies. Most of these earthquakes were minor. Deep mining can cause small to moderate quakes, and nuclear testing has caused small earthquakes in the immediate area surrounding the test site, but other human activities have not been shown to trigger subsequent earthquakes.

County facing backlog in road work BY JERRY

ENGLER

The Free Press

The county road and bridge department is being stretched to the limit. Dana Gleason was at the Marion County Commission Monday to protest road conditions in his home area between 90th and 120th on Chisholm. Gleason said road conditions for the 14 families living along that stretch of road are untenable with county tree trimming in the ditches and five expanses of water puddles to drive through. Road and Bridge Director Randy Crawford told Gleason, “We’ll take care of you as soon as we can this week (barring another round of rain). “You can get home right

money this year, we said we can eat the loss for one year. Can we eat it for two more years? The answer was no.” Cook said his agency has to consider the financial viability of its many programs. “We do thousands of different projects for school districts, everything from health insurance to professional development to selling copiers so they can get a better price on them, to printing even,” he said.

now,” he added. “We have to take care of people who can’t even get home yet because of the rains. You have to understand that we have 1,600 miles of roads to take care of. There are people (even on dirt roads) who have to get to fields for wheat harvest starting in about two weeks.” Crawford said if it begins to rain again this week, it will set his “undermanned” road and bridge crew even further behind. The commissioners approved a plan presented by Wayne Scritchfield, consulting engineer with the firm of Kirkham Michael out of Ellsworth, that would give 100 percent state government financing for $381,685 of road upgrades in the north half of the county

and $456,550 in the south half for 2016, 2017 and 2018. Commissioner Randy Dallke asked that the upgrade begin in the southwest part of the county because of the higher population there. Commission Chairman Dan Holub said he liked the roads program, but warned that the state hasn’t approved its budget yet. The commissioners approved a road and bridge bid of $3,200 for companies with hydrovac equipment to locate utility lines on Nighthawk, including $1,000 for contractor flagmen, from Energy Construction Solutions Inc. over competitive bid of $6,000 from both Miles Construction and Nowak Construction Co. Inc., and $7,600 from McCul-

lough Excavation Inc. The commissioners met for five minutes in executive session to address personnel with Crawford. No action was taken when the public session resumed. The commissioners approved granting the Marion County Fair Board $6,185.15 from sales tax for 2016 to continue making improvements. Holub said it is “phenomenal” what the board was able to accomplish for this year. Board president Myron Regier said the fair is not a profit-making business, seldom clearing more than $700 a year, but relies largely on merchant donations and volunteer labor, particularly by fair board members. About 22 to 23 percent of

the financing comes from the county, he said. Although attempts to locate commercial kitchen schoolings and upgrades weren’t successful at the fairgrounds, Regier said, work has continued to upgrade the kitchen in the foods building. Regier said the effort includes electrical and gas upgrades and state-approved fiberglass sheeting over drywall—all necessary to keep the current food vendor. Extension Agent Rickey Roberts said volunteer labor at the fairgrounds has been of utmost importance each of the 15 years he has been here. Roberts said he just returned from 4-H camps, and he expects to focus on the upcoming fair until it’s over in July.

“If we would continue to accept that sort of a loss, pretty soon all those other programs start to suffer and pretty soon we’re eating up own selves. We just had to say, this is a tough call.” Program goals Cook said learning centers are intended to serve students who don’t fit the traditional education model and need a different way to learn. The concept began as a performance-based high school diploma program in 1996 in four central Kansas locations. It has evolved and expanded across Kansas.

Sponsoring high schools now use the program as an alternative for traditionallyaged high school students, both as drop-out and recovery. Courses meet the standards of the district issuing the diploma. Students work at their own pace and set their own goals and timeline. The addition of virtual delivery in 2005 allows for anywhere, anytime learning. The addition of a career development component in fall 2006 helps meet long-term goals of students. The flexibility of the courses allows each student

to juggle employment and family responsibilities while earning a diploma. Local students So, what becomes of the students who have been using the learning center in Hillsboro? “We’ll ask those students to either become virtual students, and attend virtually from one of our other sites, or we’ll ask them to physically go up to Herington, to that learning center site,” Cook said. Students may have another option with the recent decision of the Technology Excellence in Educa-

tion Network to create its own virtual school, he added. TEEN began in 1992 through a vision of cooperation among the school districts of Centre, Herington, Hillsboro, Marion and Peabody-Burns. “We will encourage some of the students to go there,” Cook said. “I don’t care where they go, I just want them to go somewhere and move forward and get some skills.” The other three learning centers that are closing are located in Anthony, Macksville and a program for parolees.

Herington woman dies in crash BY

PATTY DECKER

The Free Press

A 50-year-old woman from Herington died in a one-vehicle accident early Sunday morning near Tampa. According to Marion County Undersheriff Dave Huntley, Lisa L. Gable, driving a 2000 Silver Jeep was northbound on Limestone Road, two miles south of Tampa. “(The vehicle) left the roadway to the right for unknown reasons and overturned,” he said. “The jeep came to rest on the passenger’s side against trees in the east ditch.” In addition to the sheriff ’s office, Tampa Emergency Medical Services also responded to the accident. Huntley said they were alerted about it when someone called early Sunday. Whenever there is a fatality accident, he added, law enforcement officials are required to conduct blood alcohol testing. The accident is still under investigation. Funeral arrangements are pending with PenwellGabel Funeral Home & Crematory, 404 S. Broadway St., Herington. No other details were available at press time.

competitive consistency. “Some outstanding athletes have outstanding performances mixed in with some mediocre performances as well,” Holmes said. “But Emily has been tremendously consistent due to her excellent mental preparation and determination.” Supporting others Boldt describes Sechrist as keenly competitive when she’s racing, but also supportive of her teammates and even her chief competitors when her race is over. “I’ve rarely had a kid who has had so much success—that everybody likes,” he said. “She is kind, encouraging, and when she’s running her cooldown laps, she’s encouraging others—both boys and girls.” Even opposing coaches have noticed. “She gets cheered on by

coaches from other teams,” Boldt said. “I had a coach tell me at the league track meet, ‘I catch myself rooting for Emily because when she’s done, she thanks people and she goes right to the other competitors, win or lose.’” Sechrist said the individual nature of running lends itself to collegiality. “In basketball and other sports, competitors just hate each other and want to demolish them,” she said. “It’s kind of different in track. You’re on the same track and you’re running together. You just get to know each other. “I’ve gotten to know people a lot through the four years,” she added. “I always cool down with my competitors. Some I’m more happy with than with others.” Career transition This fall, Sechrist plans to run for Oklahoma

Baptist University. “I like the campus, the academics and that they are a Christian school,” she said of her choice. “I also like that there are other girls to push me and to run with. I do like running by myself most times, but it gets really long at times.” Sechrist will be sorely missed by her high school coaches. “I guess I feel fortunate in that not only did I get to coach literally one of the best track girls we’ve ever had, she’s made me a better coach,” Boldt said. “What I’ve learned through working with her will make me a better coach, and I’ll always be grateful for that.” Added Holmes: “I have been blessed to try to help a number of outstanding young people reach their athletic and academic goals, and she certainly is among those at the top of the list in

consistently working and being focused mentally. “She has left a legacy of dedication and success that is inspiring.” Sechrist anticipates her future, but not without some sadness about the end of her high school career. “After the 800 (at state), when Coach and I were walking out of the stadium for the last time ever in high school, I started tearing up,” she said. “It wasn’t because I didn’t get a medal in the 800. It was because it was over. I couldn’t believe it was over already. “I don’t think I embraced and appreciated it, like at state track,” she added. “Other years, I was so worried and stressed out about placing in my races instead of what an honor it was just to be there with all those people and represent my school.”

Leaving a legacy n Daugherty’s performance at nationals one of eight school records to bear his name. BY JANAE

REMPEL

The Free Press

Tabor College athlete Garrett Daugherty has left his mark on the track and his name in the record books during his time as a Bluejay. A 2015 graduate, Daugherty wrote the final chapter of his career with a silvermedal finish in the men’s 800-meter finals at the NAIA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in May. Competing in what became his signature race, Daugherty crossed the finish line in a school record 1 minute, 51.25 seconds, about half a second behind the first-place finisher, Clay Shepperson from Oklahoma Baptist. “My goal was to win and run sub 1:50,” Daugherty said. “That didn’t happen, but I was happy with it just because I knew that I put it all out there. God blessed me with quite a bit of talent, and I’m just happy that I can use it to glorify him in how I run.” Head track and field coach Dave Kroeker said Daugherty gave it everything he had. “Strategically, (Garrett) ran a very smart race and did what he needed to do to win,” he said. “The other guy just had more at the end.” School records and honors The school record in the 800 is just one of eight to bear Daugherty’s name. Daugherty also holds outdoor records in the 1,500meter run (3:58.06), and as a contributing member to three school record relays— the 4x100 (41.65), the 4x400 (3:16.26) and the 4x800 (7:43.7). Indoors, Daugherty holds records in the 1,000-meter (2:26.54), the mile (4:18.16) and the 4x800 relay (7:53.22). A four-time NAIA AllAmerican, Daugherty earned All-American honors outdoors in the 800 in 2014 and 2015, distinguishing himself among his 2014 competitors as the only returning qualifier to finish among the top eight both years. He also turned in AllAmerican finishes in the indoor 1,000 his junior and

Garrett Daugherty (right) lifts his hands in an expression of gratitude after finishing second in the men’s 800-meter finals at the NAIA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Gulf Shores, Ala. in May. He crossed the finish line in a school record 1:51.25, about half a second behind the first-place finisher from Oklahoma Baptist. Daugherty is part of eight school records at Tabor and said his desire is to glorify God through running. senior years. Daugherty holds claim to 17 Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference championship victories, including winning both the 1,500-meter and the 800meter races at the outdoor championships this year. His successful senior campaign culminated with the honor of being named the 2015 Tabor College Male Athlete of the Year. Becoming a runner Daugherty first discovered his talent for running in elementary school. A native of Minneapolis, Kan., Daugherty said he began beating his classmates in the mile run in third or fourth grade. “I realized I was pretty good compared to at least the kids that I knew,” he said. He joined the track team in junior high, and also played basketball and football. His freshman year of high school, Daugherty gave

up football to join Minneapolis High’s inaugural cross country team. While still a multi-sport athlete—he played basketball and ran cross country and track—his focus, admittedly, began to shift toward running. Tabor years Following his graduation in 2011, Daugherty chose to come to Tabor, where he has been a member of the cross country and track and field teams for four years. Interestingly enough, he did not come to Tabor to run the 800. “I came thinking I’d be a mile or 1,500 guy,” Daugherty said. “I hadn’t hardly ever ran the 800.” His freshman year, his focus in individual events was on the 1,500 and the mile. He added the indoor 1,000 to that list his sophomore year. While he did run the 800 a few times that year, even finishing third in the conference, it wasn’t his main focus.

By Daugherty’s junior year, he had keyed in on earning All-American status in the indoor 1,000, having qualified for nationals in that event the year before. He went on to place seventh in the nation (2:31.92). When outdoor track season came, Daugherty said he wanted to focus on the 800 instead of the 1,500. “I told (graduate assistant Armando Del Valle) that I kind of wanted to focus on the 800 more because I felt like I could get a lot better,” he said. “I had run pretty fast times in relays.” He placed third in the 800 at nationals that year. Daugherty’s senior year, he again earned AllAmerican status in the indoor 1,000 with an eighthplace finish at nationals (2:33.25). His career culminated with a silver-medal performance at the outdoor championships in the spring. n See Legacy, Page 11

Heidebrecht made seven appearances on the mound and went 1-1. Senior outfielder Dakota Stimpson was named to the second team.

He gave up 33 runs (15 earned) and struck out 28 batters. He had an ERA of 4.77 over 22 innings of work. “Tanner has been the leader behind the dish for four years and has been the hardest worker on the team as his batting average shows,” coach Kelly Nelson said. “Kansas Wesleyan will

be getting a very good player.” Senior designated hitter Connor Farnham was also a first-team pick. Farnham batted .413 this season, tallying 19 hits, including one double, four triples and the team’s only home run. He drove in eight runs. As a pitcher, Farnham went 2-3 and was credited with one save. He had an ERA of 6.76 over 391⁄3 innings, giving up 44 runs (38 earned) and striking out a team-high 58 opponents. “Connor has been a mainstay on the mound for us this year, pitching almost twice as many innings as anyone else,” Nelson said. Senior utility Nick Bray was named to the second team. He batted .279 this season, recording 12 hits, including two doubles, while driving in six runs. On the mound, Bray was 0-4 and had one save. He had an ERA of 5.73 over 22 innings,

giving up 39 runs (18 earned). He struck out 17 batters. “Nick hit a lot deep hard balls this year that didn’t quite find a hole that led to him being down a little in average this year,” Nelson said. “(He) has been a mainstay on defense with only 10 errors in three years and at the end of the year was maybe our best pitcher.” Sophomore utility Hunter Pearson received honorable mention. He batted .319 this season, recording 15 hits, including two doubles, while driving in 11 runs.

The Hillsboro swim team scored 7761⁄2 points to defeat Lindsborg (6261⁄2) Saturday at home to kick off its season. Coach Stephanie Moss described Lindsborg as “our stiffest competition within the Mid Kansas League.” Moss praised her team in their first outing. “Our swimmers were brave,” she said. “We have a great group of new swimmers who overcame nerves and finished their races with guts and determination. “I saw this bravery in our 6- and 7-year-olds who have never swam before, in our 11-year-olds who swam their individual events at a 50-meter length, and in our 15-18 year old age group who swam the 200-meter free for the first time.” Coming—Hillsboro will swim at Marion Saturday.

two 40-minute runs. As someone who enjoys running for the camaraderie, Daugherty admitted this semester was difficult. “When you run with somebody, you find out a lot more about them and you can really strengthen friendships,” he said. “That was kind of a tough transition this year I guess. With me student teaching, I never really ran with people all that much.” Daugherty graduated from Tabor in May with a degree in physical education and health. He has accepted a job teaching pre-

kindergarten through eighth-grade physical education in Meade, which will begin this fall. Looking back When asked about his favorite track event, Daugherty listed the 800 as well as the relays and the indoor 1,000. The school record that surprises him most is the 4x100, which was set at the KCAC championships his junior year with teammates Caleb Blue, Josiah Oyebefun and Alex Grier with a time of 41.65. Daugherty had only began running with the relay halfway through the year.

“I was the fastest person left that could run because we had some injuries and we were kind of low on sprinters,” he said. “My objective was to get the baton from the first runner to the third runner, but it was just kind of funny that we were able to go to nationals and set the school record. The fact that I was on it when we did that, that was kind of great.” While all Daugherty’s

school records are special, the one that means the most to him is the 800. “Quite a few of them were set earlier on, but the 800 is the one that’s kind of been my main goal,” he said. “That’s what I’ve been focusing on towards the end of my career.” For Daugherty, running is a gift: “God has given me this gift, and if I don’t use it properly, it’s kind of a waste.”

Hometown principal says it’s time for a change BY

DON RATZLAFF

The Free Press

“I don’t know anybody who, while growing up, wants to be a principal,” Max Heinrichs said with a laugh. Let alone being the principal of the high school from which you graduated. But that’s where the life path has taken this native son. Heinrichs, part of the Class of 1979, is wrapping up his seventh and final year as Hillsboro High School principal. “A lot of people would come back here who were in school when I was in school and say: ‘You’re the principal here?’” Heinrichs said. “And I go, it’s silly isn’t it?” A new direction Heinrichs will soon begin a new job with ESSDACK, the education resource agency based in Hutchinson. Heinrichs said the career transition has to do with his current need rather than the nature of the job at HHS. “I’m not unhappy with Hillsboro or USD 410—I’m just looking for a little more time,” he said, referring to the mountain of hours he has been putting in as principal in recent years. Heinrichs’ decision began to crystalize one Sunday as he listened to his pastor’s sermon. “He was preaching about what do you want to be remembered for,” he said. “I just wanted to be remembered as that good person down the street. That didn’t make me make my decision, but it sure made me think about it a lot. “I didn’t know what I was going to do, but I needed to do something else. I was tired. Instead of griping about the job, there’s somebody out there who wants to do this (job) the right way, and it’s time for me to do something different.” Career path Heinrichs’ career in education began at Tabor

DON RATZLAFF / FREE PRESS

Outgoing Hillsboro High School Max Heinrichs enjoys one of his last days in the office he’s occupied for the past seven years. “It’s just time for a change,” he says. “I love the job but it’s about the time. Behind him are some “treasures,” including pictures of his family and a mounted 30-pound striped bass he caught in Beaver Lake, Okla. College. Well, sort of. “I graduated with exactly what they tell you not to do—I got a P.E. degree and a health degree for teaching,” he said. “And there were no jobs in the state that year.” Instead, he married Krista, also an HHS grad, and accepted an opening as a para-educator in the local high school. “When I was done with that, John Black, who was the director of special ed, asked me if I would be interested in becoming a teacher.” Heinrichs accepted the challenge, improved his certification at Emporia State University, and became a special education teacher at Hillsboro from 1984 to 1988. From there, he went to Minneapolis to coach football. “I was up there for nine years,” he said. “It was kind of a dream job—I could do

what I trained myself to do.” After nine years, the family moved back to Hillsboro. “Minneapolis is a great place, but we liked what Hillsboro offers a little better than what Minneapolis did,” Heinrichs said. He taught physical education from 1996 to 2001, when he became athletic director and assistant principal at HHS. During those years, Heinrichs earned a master’s degree in education leadership and administration, and later earned his specialist certification in education administration. When his predecessor, Dale Honeck, retired as principal, Heinrichs successfully applied for the position. “This is a great place, it’s a great job,” he said. “I wanted to do it. Students are phenomenal, and the

faculty’s phenomenal. It’s a great community.” Time commitments Aside from the academic responsibilities, being principal means attending a lot of extracurricular activities. His three daughters came through the system during his years at the helm. “We saw a lot of volleyball,” Heinrichs said, noting the involvement of all three daughters. But as principal, he also was responsible to monitor Trojan games, both home and away. It was a good era to be in that role, actually. “I think of all the cham-

pionships, and I’m going, holy cow, how could you ever complain?” he said. “And I’m not. It was just the time.” In recent years, Heinrichs has shepherded the development of the Career Technical Education emphasis at HHS, including the development of Pathways in a multiple career fields. “I’ve enjoyed watching our kids grow in that,” he said. “We had 44 graduates this year, and 73 (CTE) concentrator honors earned— that’s almost two per kid. That’s pretty amazing. One person had five of them. “The whole movement is

toward college and career readiness, and this is a piece of it,” Heinrichs said. “We do the college side of it pretty well. Our ACT scores are phenomenal. They’ve alway been good, and this year they were really good— a 25.8 composite for seniors; 26 is money almost anywhere. “The shift is going in the right direction. I think this is a great place to be.” A new chapter So why leave? “It’s just time,” he said again. “I’ve never been worried about how much time I work. But I didn’t want to be negative about the job. I love the job.” Heinrichs said he’s looking forward to spending more time with Krista, going on more fishing trips and using more of their season tickets to Oklahoma University football games instead of passing them on to other people because of scheduling conflicts with school activities. “I don’t want to say I’ll be doing less, but maybe doing as much with less time (invested),” he said. Heinrichs’ new job with ESSDACK officially begins July 1, but he has agreed to make a couple of school presentations already this month. One of his specialties will be CTE training. The nature of the job will enable the Heinrichses to continue living in Hillsboro. He will commute to the ESSDACK office in Hutchinson four or five days each week. “The nice thing, it’s 8:30 to 4,” he said. “It won’t always be that way, but there are no weekends and no evening activities to go to.”

COLLEGE HONORS n Two area students were named to the Fort Hays State University to the Dean’s Honor Roll for the spring 2015 semester. They are Aidan Winblad, a senior from Goessel majoring in physics, and Hillsboro resident Andrea Fish, who is majoring in elementary education. n Included on the Southwestern College Dean’s Honor Roll for the spring 2015 semester were Allison Shields, Lincolnville, and Seth Topham, Peabody. n Several students from this area were named to the spring semester Dean’s List at Bethel College.

Winners for a majority of Saturday afternoon events were unavailable as of press time Monday, but some information was received. The Dinky Duck fundraiser, sponsored by St. Luke Hospital, will see its proceeds going toward the purchase of joint molds for the therapy department, said Roger Schroeder, at St. Luke Hospital. “The remainder of the proceeds is going towards the proposed Living Center renovation. In the tug-of-war competition, Hett Construction took first place defeating Carlson’s Grocery,

Prairieland Partners and the Marion County Road and Bridge Department. Elaine Ewert of Marion won the Rock/Paper/Scissors event, sponsored by Tampa State Bank. One spokesperson said nearly 70 people were vying for the first place prize of $50. The Rhino sculpting contest saw two winners in two different age categories. In the younger category, Lily Thouvenall, 12, of Marion was first with $15, and Jaden Slifer, 12, also of Marion was the $10 winner. In the adult age group, a mother and daughter were the first and second place winners. The daughter, Jill Wagner of Lawrence, came in first and her mom, Alma Wagner of Axtell, was second. The Wagners said they are related to Rick Branson, who was the pastor at Eastmoor Baptist Church about five years ago. In the bed races, four teams competed with Carlsons Grocery taking first place and the teachers of Marion Middle School winning best-dressed. More results will appear in the June 17 edition.

Don’t let mosquitos take the bite out of summer R

ecent wet weather combined with warmer temperatures herald the arrival of cookouts, lounging poolside, weekends at the beach and a host of fun outdoor activities. Spring and summer are also mosquito season, and the little blood-suckers are far more than just an itchy nuisance. Mosquitos carry and transmit diseases that kill more than a million people worldwide every year, according to the American Mosquito Control Association. In America, mosquitos have been linked to the transmission of West Nile Virus in humans and heartworms in dogs, the AMCA reports. In 2014, 47 states and the District of Columbia had reported cases of West Nile infections in people, birds and mosquitos, according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. Sixty percent of the 2,122 people infected in 2014 had infections that affect the brain, such as meningitis or encephalitis. Fortunately, you can take effective steps to protect your home, family and pets

Eliminating standing water where mosquitos breed and thwarting their efforts to feed can help keep your environment mosquito-free this spring and summer. Reduce breeding “Many homeowners may not realize that standing water and puddles in their yards can play a large role in attracting mosquitos,” said Ryan Larsen, a civil engineer with NDS Inc., the nation’s leading manufacturer of landscape drainage solutions. “Standing water is an ideal breeding location for mosquitos, which lay their eggs in still water.” Larsen advises homeowners to start their mos-

quito-prevention efforts by inspecting their yards to identify places where water may collect, such as low spots, downspouts, retaining walls, edging, walkways and patios. Check gutters and downspouts to be sure they’re free of obstructions, and address drainage issues in the landscaping. “Low areas can easily turn into water reservoirs that cause serious drainage problems,” Larsen said. “Muddy, wet areas not only look bad, they kill grass, attract mosquitos and can evolve into more serious property damage.” Depending on your landscape and the severity of drainage problems, you may need to install a drainage

It surprised me that upon seeing the eggs I was immediately filled with excitement. This was new life and it was happening in front of me on the safe haven of my porch. All I could think was about what a mess this was going to make and how wonderful it was at the exact same time. It made me laugh out loud. Isn’t that how this life is? The mama wren has gotten used to us and now rarely is frightened into flight when we open and close the front door. I have to tap the basket to make her fly if I want to peek at her unhatched brood.

protect you from marauding mosquitos. Some mosquitos will travel 40 miles for a meal, the AMCA says. When you’re outdoors, take steps to protect yourself, your family and pets from mosquitos hunting for blood. Wear insect repellant on exposed skin and apply it to clothing as well, the CDC advises. Look for repellants with an active ingredient that’s recommended by the CDC and EPA, like DEET, picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon eucalyptus.

Dress in lighter-colored clothes as mosquitos are attracted to darker colors. If it’s not too hot, wear long sleeves and pants to reduce skin exposure, especially between dusk and dawn when the mosquitos known to spread West Nile are most active. In your backyard, try burning citronella candles on patio tables, tossing some sprigs or rosemary on the grill or running a fan at ground level to help keep mosquitos away.
