Junior high Buffs leave NCAA mark By Freddie Arnold Telescope sports The junior high Buffs track team literally left their mark at the North Central Activities Association League track meet at Ellsworth Tuesday, May 7. At the League meet, Republic County broke a total of seven records and claimed seven champions. Of the seven broken records, seventh grader Deon Dyke and eighth grader Madison Scott both broke two. Dyke set new records in the 100-meter hurdles (16.76) and 110-meter hurdles (21.64). Dyke’s new record in the seventh grade 100-meter hurdles broke the old one by 1.27 seconds. Dyke also won first place in the 400-meter dash. Madison Scott broke records in the pole vault (10’) and triple jump (33’). Scott’s newly set record in the eighth grade pole vault broke the old by a foot and a half. “It feels good knowing that I beat someone else’s record and that someone will have to work as hard as I did to beat my records,” Scott said. Other Buffs to set marks in the League meet were Casey Benyshek in the javelin, the seventh grade boys 4x200-meter relay team, and Brett Stindt in the javelin. Benyshek set a new record in the eighth grade girls javelin with a throw of 94’6”. Her throw broke the previous record (86’) by almost nine feet. The seventh grade boys 4x200meter relay team of Connor Fairbanks, Lukas Kearn, Dalton Daniels, and Nick Allsman not only won their event, but set a new record at 1:53.44. Brett Stindt’s mark of 138’2” in the javelin beat the old mark (128’11”) by almost a foot. Stindt now holds the League javelin record in the seventh and eighth grade. “It feels great beating the League record in the same event both years,” Stindt said. “I have some big expectation for high school.” With seven broken records, the junior high Buffs also produced six League champions in seven events. Kendra Scott, Madison Scott, and Deon Dyke all won claim to two championships in their respective events. Deon Dyke claimed first in the seventh grade 100-meter hurdles and 400-meter dash.

In a field of 50 individual golfers, the top three teams and five individuals, not on a qualifying team, moved onto the State Tournament.

Hadachek finished the day with a round of 40 and 44 as ended up at the sixth overall spot and second in the group of individual qualifiers. Junior Trevor Allen’s round of 93 was only one stroke short of qualifying, as the top five cut off was at 92. Allen finished 18th overall and sixth in individual qualifiers.

Rock Hills golf eyes another state title By Freddie Arnold Telescope sports Looking for their third consecutive State Title, the Rock Hills Grizzlies golf team has again qualified the team to State. At the KSHSAA 1A Regional Golf Tournament at the Leonardville Golf Course, the Grizzlies came out on top and qualified as a team to advance to the State Tournament. In the Regional Tournament the top two teams and the next three lowest individual scores that are not members of the two qualifying teams earned trips to State. But,
the Grizzlies didn’t have to worry about qualifying individually because the team easily walked away with the Regional Title by winning on a margin of 14 strokes over second place Riley County shooting a 305. All five of the individual golfers for the Grizzlies finished in the top 11. Rock Hills junior Devon Freeman finished the day with the lowest individual score of 72. Rock Hills sophomore Sam Flinn finished second overall with a 73. Micah Daniels and Adam Horn both shot an 80 and finished their day in the seventh and eighth spot, as Jordan Walters cleaned
up finishing eleventh with an 84. Also competing in the Tournament was Pike Valley who was unable to advance any into the State Tournament. In the field of 30 golfers, the highest finisher for the Panthers was Jacob Field, who finished at 18th with a 99. Dakota Brever finished 20th with a 101, Aaron Swanson finished 22nd with a 106, Titus Vignery finished 23rd with a 107, and Ty Sothers finished 29th with a 131. The Rock Hills Grizzlies have won three out five State titles with a 1st runner-up title in the mix. A win this year would make it a three-peat for the Grizzlies.

Scoping It Out By Freddie Arnold, Telescope Sports Editor Why do we enjoy watching sports, more specifically professional sports? The answer to some is because it is fun, exciting, and entertaining. Sporting events are televised to keep us enthralled in the action and amazed at the talent, right? We want to see the best of the best, right? Wrong. After Tiger Woods most recently won the Players Championship this past weekend, I have heard an overabundance of groaning and griping with the issue of seeing him too much on television. The public says they are sick of him already! “I’m tired of seeing him on TV,” I hear. “All they do is talk about him.” “If I see one more picture of him on TV I’m tossing the set out the window.” Nothing but complaints. And the complaints don’t stop with Tiger. LeBron James, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, Jimmy Johnson, and including Tiger are all listed in the Forbes top-10 most hated athletes. The public is sick of seeing them on television, and frankly I don’t know why? Don’t we tune in to watch amazing happen? Where is the excitement in a below average team dominating an even worse team? Who watches the Masters Golf Tournament to watch Joe Blow shoot par? Frankly, I enjoy watching the best of the best compete. What is wrong with recognizing excellence? Give credit where it is due and realize how lucky we are to be able to witness the spectacle of the world’s greatest athletes. Don’t get me wrong I love to talk sports, but I am done listening to the bellyaching of meatballs complaining about the exposure of our best professional athletes. “But, Freddie I want to see MY favorite team.” Well unless your favorite team is one of the best I’m sure they aren’t entirely fun to watch. I can relate as I have been a suffering Minnesota Twins fan my entire life. I don’t always enjoy watching them. I’d rather not watch them get two-hit shutout. What I am saying is, why is everyone upset when they see that excellence is shown regularly? No one cares about mediocrity, unless you are emotionally invested. Don’t we strive to be the best in America? Yet, we degrade the best instead of celebrating the best. I don’t understand? These are not just once in a generation, but once in a lifetime world-class athletes, and according to Forbes, 60-percent of the public refuses to watch them. You can go ahead and watch the Milwaukee Bucks play the Phoenix Suns, but instead of a David versus David, or even a David versus a Goliath, I would rather watch a Goliath versus a Goliath. My little sister always said that it was the ‘haters’ and people who complain with your name who make you famous. Maybe she is right. On that note, Kansas recently signed Canadian high school basketball phenom, Andrew Wiggins. Experts are calling him the best basketball player to ever come out of high school. He has been called the next Michael Jordan, and will undoubtedly be the best NCAA player next year. It will only be a matter of time before the public is sick of hearing about him too.

Rock Hills hosts League track RCHS League track results
THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2013
By Freddie Arnold Telescope sports
The Rock Hills Grizzlies boys and girls track team hosted the Northern Plains League track meet on Thursday, May 9. In a field of 12 teams, the Grizzlies boys team scored 64 points and finished fourth place, only four points behind third place Lincoln. The girls team scored 27 points and ended up ninth at the meet. “I felt our kids represented themselves and the school very well at the meet,” Rock Hills coach Sam Meyers said. “We have several athletes that are either battling or just finishing battling some injuries and that has made some of our event selection and performances a little different than usual.” Rock Hills senior Wyatt Flinn continues his campaign as the top thrower in the League, and perhaps the state. Flinn finished in first place in both the shot put (48’1.5”) and discus (148’9”). The Grizzlies also won the 4x100 relay. Rock Hills senior Lizzy Cox also found a gold medal in the discus (91’). The Rock Hill’s boys and girls finished the day with nine top three medalists. “We feel that we are in as good of a position as we can be as we enter our regional track meet,” Meyers said. The Grizzlies will compete in Regionals May 16, at Washington. GIRLS St. Johns 95, Lakeside 83,

The Pike Valley Panthers got out to a good start in their post-season efforts as they left the League meet with a first and fourth place team finish. After traveling to the Northern Plains League track meet at Rock Hills Thursday, May 9 the Pike Valley boys left with a team title as they scored 96 points, 20.5 points ahead of second place Natoma. The Pike Valley girls track team, despite only competing with six girls, scored 58 points and finished fourth place. “We had a great day of performances,” Pike Valley coach Gary Loring said. “We had a lot of athletes step up for a great team effort on both the boys and girls side.” Pike Valley junior Courtney Freed, and sophomore Caden Callaway combined for eight gold medals at the League meet. Freed and Callaway finished at first place in all four events they competed in. Freed dominated sprints while Callaway paced all runners in the distance races. Freed won first place in all running events under the mile. Freed won the 100, 200, 400, and 800. Callaway won first place in the 800, 1600, 3200, and 4x800. Next to Freed and Callaway, Pike Valley’s Samuel Janssen and Brooke Jensen anchored the Panthers as they both placed in four events as well. The boys alone, had ten individuals place in the top three in their events. “There were a number of personal bests set throughout the meet,” Loring said. “Hopefully we can carry some momentum into Regionals this week. We try to peak in these last three meets in preparation for the post season and the kids have done a great job adjusting to the weather.” The Panthers will travel to Valley Heights in Waterville to compete in the Regional meet Friday, May 17. Since Pike Valley High School started in the 19791980 school year, the girls track teams have managed to win 15 league titles and the boys have won 16. Last year the girls won the first Northern Plains League title and this year the boys won their first. “I have been very proud

THE BELLEVILLE TELESCOPE
5B
A Look At The Past Common School Commencement
Eight Grade Graduation, Class of 1958 took place at the Belleville High School Auditorium, which is present day Republic County Middle School. County Superitendent of the Schools at that time was Mr. W.J. Matthias. - Picture Compliments to Bernice Nondorf
100 years ago The Belleville Telescope May 15, 1913 New Superintendent Takes Office Monday, Miss Euna Arrasmith of this city took her office as county superintendent. This is the second lady to hold this office. The other was Miss Lucy Howard, who proved very efficient and had a splendid record and there is every reason to believe that the present one will prove as satisfactory as her predecessors. Miss Arrasmith grew to womanhood in Belleville. After graduating from the high school she completed a normal course and received a degree of Bachelor of Pedagogy and a threeyear state certificate; later she finished the Collegiate course, receiving a life certificate and the A.B. degree. She has had varied experience which fully equips her for every department of school work and is a woman of the highest type of reliability and integrity. Wm. Slopansky, the retiring superintendent, will instruct the county Normal and will later enter the banking business at Hollis. The Cuba Daylight May 15, 1913 Binding Twine Scarce The Farmers will no doubt be sorry to learn that the binding twine now looks to be short. The recent floods in Ohio have caused two of the largest plants to stop operating and many tons of twine on hand were ruined. The largest plant in the world has also been forced to close down on account of a strike and the plant is now being removed to Germany. Those fortunate enough to have twine in stock will indeed be glad to furnish our people with good twine at fair prices. We are afraid that with the shortage and increased acreage of grain the binding twine question will be a serious one before the season is over. A suggestion is that you better get your twine as early as possible.
The Narka News May 16, 1913 Some Bold Wolves John Smith reports the loss of a number of chickens and five or six fat turkeys by wolves the past few days. John says he has caught them in the act several times, but never when he has the shot gun handy. His son, Raymond, got on ones trail the other morning and when the dogs barked the wolf came toward him and was within easy gun shot, but he blamed gun would not go off until the wolf had smelled the danger and made his get- away. John says he believes there are at least five wolves that have been visiting at his place, and from the direction they travel must have their den somewhere north of his place. There is no question but that these wolves have young ones in their dens, which are evidently located on or not far from the Smith farm, and a few men with some good dogs ought to make a “killin” in that locality.
75 years ago The Scandia Journal May 12, 1938 Live Eagle Here A live Rocky Mountain Eagle is in the possession of George Stromberg, Scandia taxidermist, who has been hired to mount the bird. George Green and another man from Concordia caught the bird in the field near there before it could get into flight. The Belleville Telescope May 12, 1938 Friends Church is Moved to New Foundation This Week Looking toward the future when an enlarged congregation will require additional room for expansion, and believing that a “firm foundation” is the basis for even the concrete necessities of a religion, the congregation of the Belleville Friends Monthly Meeting this week completed moving their
church from the east side of M street to its new resting place across the block, on lots northwest of the viaduct. Graduation at Munden County Superintendent L.M. Combs will deliver the commencement address to the graduating classes of the Munden school next Thursday evening, May 10th at 8 o'clock. Mr. Combs has chosen “The Moving Finger” as the subject of his talk to the two high school seniors and five eighth grade graduates.
50 years ago The Scandia Journal May 16, 1963 Save Along With IGA Food Party Tender Delicious Corn – Six Ears for 25 Cents Cucumbers – 5 Cents Each Miracle Whip – 39 Cents for Full Quart Peaches – 4 Cans for $1.00 IGA Deluxe One Pound Coffee – 57 Cents 2 Pounds Sliced Bacon – 89 Cents Smoked Picnic Hams – 29 Cents Per Pound Bathroom Tissue – 4 Roll Pack for 33 Cents 2 Bath Bars Lifebuoy Soap – 35 Cents The Belleville Telescope May 16, 1963 To Leave for Induction Robert Doctor will leave May 22nd for Kansas City for induction. Mrs. Glen Price, clerk of the local selective service reported this week. Tommy James was also ordered to leave for induction on May 22. Belleville Housewife Completes Solo Flight Mrs. Phyllis Hunsley of Belleville completed her solo cross country airplane flight Monday to become the first Belleville woman in late years to have done so. To make her “cross country” Mrs. Hunsley, who is the wife of Dr. P. Hunsley, flew to Hutchinson, Abilene and back to Belleville. The total trip took four hours and she
covered a distance of 254 air miles.
25 years ago The Belleville Telescope May 12, 1988 Belleville Hosts Brownie Play Day A theme of "I'm a Well Bean" brought over 950 Brownie and adult Girl Scouts together in five locations across Central Kansas Council of Girl Scouts for Brownie Play Days, May 7. The event offered sessions on physical fitness, games, crafts and lessons on good grooming. One activity included making a personal first aid kit in a bandage box. Brownie troops from Belleville, Cuba, Scandia, Jamestown, Burr Oak and Lebanon attended the activity at the Belleville Armory. Directors Mrs. Robert Knudson and Mrs. Richard Campbell and their volunteer staff hosted the girls. The Belleville Telescope May 19, 1988 Three County Banks To Split $99,400 Bridge Bond Bid Letting Three Republic County banks will each loan the county 1/3 of the $99,400 bond to build five bridges, Republic County Commissioners decided Monday, May 16. Scandia State Bank, Munden State Bank and the Swedish- American State Bank agreed to each take 1/3 of the bond issue for seven percent interest. First National Bank of Belleville bid for the entire bond for 7.31 percent, and Peoples National Bank of Belleville bid the entire bond for eight percent. The bond money will be used as the county's share to match with federal money to construct five bridges in the county. Commissioners voted earlier this year to let bonds for the projects so the budget for the Republic County Highway Department can largely be used to repair roads.
The Scandia Journal May 19, 1988 Republic Church Celebrates Centennial Year Over 200 persons commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Republic United Methodist Church May 1, 1988, beginning with a worship service at 10:30 am. The sanctuary was decorated with a centennial banner imprinted with "Jesus Calls Us" and a variety of floral arrangements. Participating in the service were former ministers, Rev. James Bush (1980-1984); Rev. Arnold Roland (19761980); Rev. Robert Vance and Rev. William Baldwin, former members; Rev. Elton Hunter (1984-); Bill Roe, administrative council chairman. A brief history of the United Methodist Women group, formerly the Ladies Aid Society, and their service to the church and community was narrated by Mrs Rex Sandell.
20 years ago The Scandia Journal May 13, 1993 Scott Nylund, Defensive Player, Receives Fort Hays Football Scholarship Scott Nylund, Pike Valley senior, is the recipient of an athletic football scholarship at Fort Hays State University for the upcoming school year. Assistant Coach Jay Hood and President Edward Hammond presented Scott with his scholarship at the Fort Hays Awards Night in Beloit. His football awards include Division I 8-Man Salina Journal Best Defensive Player of the year, Kansas Sports Magazine Division I 8-Man first team and he was selected to play in the 8-Man All Star Game in Beloit in July. Scott is the son of Jim and Vicki Nylund, and the grandson of Loren Florell and John and Virginia Nylund, Scandia.
The Belleville Telescope May 13, 1993 Esbon Postmaster Helps Foreigners Find Lost Relatives
When a letter from the Netherlands arrived at her post office, Esbon Postmistress Lila Frost didn't just put the correspondence in the dead letter file. “It looked important, and it had come first class, so I felt like I needed to try to locate the person or persons," Frost told the Superior Express. The letter was sent to Brutis Dengerink, Mrs. Margaret Dengerink and her husband Orville and her daughter, Linda, or to any of their relatives, Esbon, Kansas, USA. Frost asked Raymond Griffith, a lifelong resident of Esbon, if he was familiar with the Dengerink name. Griffith allowed he had heard the name in the Downs area. Frost called the Dengerink in Downs, who referred her to Margaret LaDow at Lebanon. “I was so surprised to get the letter,” relates Mrs. LaDow. “My maiden name was Dengerink and my deceased brother's name was Brutis.” The Dengerinks once had lived and farmed in the Dentonia area south of Esbon. Mrs. LaDow's mother was a native of Holland, and had corresponded with an aunt in Holland until 1950. The aunt had recently died, and a cousin was going through the aunt's personal effects and found one of Mrs. Dengerink's letters. “We never knew about each other,” says Mrs. LaDow. She answered the letter, and within days was being visited by the cousin and her husband.
10 years ago The Belleville Telescope May 15, 2003 Hail Hits Area Tuesday night A short but powerful storm that passed over the area Tuesday night left hail up to golf ball size and some areas and roadways completely covered up to a couple inches. The storm was part of a system that moved down from the north and prompted the Weather Service to issue a thunderstorm warning for the county at 7:42 pm. The storm moved into the Republic County area around 8:15 with heavy rain and hail reported by Nuckolls County, Nebraska officers by the state line. The hail stripped leaves and small branches from trees and also caused hail damage to vehicles. The most severe part of the storm was in a band from Byron down through Belleville and south. Republic did not report any hail.
1 year ago The Belleville Telescope May 17, 2012 Music Teacher Retires Retired principal Ed Fuhrman, Wichita returned to Republic County High School last week to honor music instructor Carroll Couture on his retirement from the district. Couture was full-time music instructor in the district for nearly three decades, and has continued to assist part-time with the program for the last six years. Fuhrman recounted trips for performances the band made across the United States. Couture also received thanks from the USD 109 school board, Jim Melton, Belleville, representing the Fair Amusement Committee for the performances during the races each summer, and current students.

Robin Slattery, DEA, Animal Sciences River Valley Extension District I have been getting a lot of questions lately with the recent abundance of moisture asking if we are “back to normal” as far as precipitation and stocking rates on pastures. Many producers are getting ready to, or already did, turn cattle out on native pasture. So, what is a good plan of action for stocking rates this year? While there is no one right answer, it certainly warrants some discussion. First off, how are we doing on moisture compared to historical averages? For this I turn to Kansas State University’s “Weather Data Library” found at http:// www.ksre.ksu.edu/wdl . Here precipitation summaries can be found daily for weather stations in Washington, Clay Center, and Scandia, as well as monthly averages for each county in River Valley Extension District. In the summaries “normal” refers to a 30year average from 19812010. In 2012 our counties received the following values less than normal for the year: Washington County -8.16 inches, Clay County -9.68 inches, Cloud County -9.06 inches, and Republic County -5.40 inches. Obviously this

pounds per acre of residue standing in the pasture for these reasons. Going back to rainfall, normally the River Valley District receives 8.61 to 9.15 inches of precipitation from November 1st-April 30th. Since November 1st, 2012 to April 30th, 2013, the Washington weather station had received 6.69 inches, Scandia 4.87 inches, and Clay Center 6.56 inches. Long story short, no we are not “caught up”. For stocking rates, this equates to reducing the initial stocking rate and having a drought management plan in place as we go throughout the grazing season. It is much better to be prepared for a drought and have it not happen than to be stuck in the middle of summer with lots of cows and no forage. We are already doing well for the month of May, but must receive nearly 4 ½ inches to be “normal”.
As the season goes along, moisture will be less effective in producing forage. It is recommended to establish dates throughout the grazing season to measure forage and compare recorded rainfall to historical averages and reduce stocking rates as needed. This can be done by early weaning, selling yearlings/ replacement heifers, culling mature cows, or if things really get bad, destocking and feeding. A really good handbook on drought planning for pastures can be found at UNL’s Drought Mediation Center’s website, http://drought.unl.edu/ ranchplan , or this handbook is available at our local extension offices. If you haven’t already, take a hard look at your stocking rates this year and have a plan in place for another drought year.

equated to a drought when our normal precipitation ranges from 29.53-31.86 inches per year across the district. Recently however, things have been looking up. Washington County received almost an inch and a half more precipitation than normal in April and Clay County nearly an inch in excess. When we consider pasture stocking rates for 2013, what we really need to look at is precipitation since November of 2012 and what condition the pasture was in at the end of the grazing season. If the pasture was grazed very short last year, the plants had little crown energy stored to initiate spring growth. Also, with little residue left on the pasture, rainfall was more likely to run off or snow to not be captured to permeate into the soil. It is recommended to leave at least 800

shuttle loading facility near Superior, Nebraska. The new entity, Superior East, LLC expects to begin construction immediately and be completed in about 12 months. With a storage capacity of 1,250,000 bushels, the new grain facility will include a 120car capacity circle track on the BNSF line moving corn, soybeans and hard red winter wheat to markets west and south, including Mexico. Additionally, the location will provide a grain ground piling system, as well as 10,000-ton liquid fertilizer storage. The site has ample room to expand both grain and fertilizer capacity. Superior East, LLC was formed under the recently introduced CHS Partnered Equity Program. This firstof-its-kind program allows CHS owners to unlock a portion of their equity in CHS to provide capital for an expansion project. Cooperatives participating in the program use a portion of their CHS equity as a contribution to a venture
with CHS focused on helping their cooperative grow. Eligible projects include shuttle loaders, fertilizer hub plants, energy assets and other growth opportunities. "By using a portion of our CHS equity along with additional CHS capital to build a next-generation ag multiplex, we will be able to provide the Aurora Cooperative farmer owners in southern Nebraska and northern Kansas additional access to world grain and fertilizer markets via the BNSF rail system," said George Hohwieler, Aurora Cooperative President and CEO. "This significant expansion fully aligns with our vision to be a financially strong, innovative, and locally-owned agri-business," said Hohwieler. Superior East, LLC is a 50/50 joint venture with a governing board comprised of representatives from both CHS and the Aurora Cooperative. The multiplex will be operated by the Aurora Cooperative.

USDA Farm Payments Scheduled to Resume The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Juan M. Garcia announced that farm payments, which had been temporarily suspended due to sequestration, have resumed. This includes payments for the 2011 Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments Program (SURE), the Noninsured Crop Assistance Program (NAP) and the Milk Income Loss Contract Program (MILC). On March 4, 2013, FSA began a temporary suspension of FSA program payments in order to assess the impact of sequestration and determine the least-disruptive process possible for carrying out required cuts. The Department will use the Secretary’s limited authority to transfer funds to avoid reducing these program payments. Producers should be advised that program sign-up periods currently underway have the following enrollment deadlines: 2013 Average Crop Revenue Election
(ACRE) Program – June 3rd; 2011 SURE – June 7; and the 2013 Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program – August 2nd. Producers should contact their local Farm Service Agency office as soon as possible for appointments to enroll in these programs before the deadlines. USDA has made a concerted effort to deliver results for the American people, even as USDA implements sequestration – the across-the-board budget reductions mandated under terms of the Budget Control Act. USDA has already undertaken historic efforts since 2009 to save more than $828 million in taxpayer funds through targeted, common-sense budget reductions. These reductions have put USDA in a better position to carry out its mission, while implementing sequester budget reductions in a fair manner that causes as little disruption as possible.
