While valued volunteers serve and deliver meals all year long, March for Meals Month is the time when others get involved and see the importance of the meal program, with meals served both at the center, and the home meal deliveries. Manager Jan McCormick said city clerk Erin Tilton, city treasurer Rich Hite, council- man Tim Jury, and interim city administrator Jay Newton all served meals at the center for March for Meals Month. Police Chief Kevin Diercks and his son, Ethan, as well as Kaylene Miller, delivered Meals on Wheels in Chapman on behalf of the special month, designated by Mayor Jeff Blixt. March for Meals is a nation- al campaign during the month of March, initiated by Meals on Wheels America, which seeks to raise awareness of senior hunger, and to encour- age action on the part of the local community, according to a press release from the Area Agency on Aging. The Area Agency on Aging reminds the community that home delivery is available for people age 60 and older who need it. Volunteers deliver the meals, and new volunteers are always valued and needed to assist in the program. President Richard Nixon signed into law a measure on March 22, 1972, that amend- ed the Older Americans Act of 1965, and established the national nutrition program for seniors 60 years and older. McCormick said a total of 12,686 meals were served from the Chapman Senior Center in 2016. “During the month of March we served 533 meals on- site and delivered 715 meals for a total of 1,248 meals,” McCormick said. The daily on-site average is 23 diners, and the daily deliv- ery average is 31, according to McCormick. The largest number of people served was 95, for the popular chili and cinnamon roll meal. The number included both on- site dining and home deliver- ies. McCormick said roughly 65 meals a week are delivered to Enterprise. The Chapman Senior Center serves carry-out and dine-in meals. Anyone of any age can dine at the center. The suggest- ed contribution for meals for people age 60 and older who register with the Friendship Meals Program is $3.50 or whatever a person can com- fortably afford. For all others the cost is $5.25. Of course, none of this would be possible without the volun- teers. “Volunteers are an import- ant part of our program and provide over 200 hours each month,” McCormick said. In addition to healthy meals, the center provides opportuni- ties for seniors to socialize with others, and not eat alone. They are invited to visit, play games, and participate in a variety of activities. “The center also provides opportunities to learn about events in the area, and visit with businessmen and city offi- cials,” McCormick said. The center also sponsors par- ties for the Super Bowl, St. Patrick’s Day, and Christmas. A new activity is table top games, which takes place on the fourth Thursday of each month. “We play a variety of table games and cards, eat snacks and have a fun afternoon,” McCormick said. The center also hosts guest speakers, and this past year had speakers such as a pharmacist, doctor, and News-Times pub- lisher John Baetz. Other pro- grams featured nutrition tips, and discussions from home health agencies on how to pre- vent slips and falls. Information concerning the Dickinson County Letter of Life program has also been featured. For those interested in meals coming to your home, or in helping with deliveries, or any activities at the Senior Center, call Jan McCormick at 785- 922-6958.

(Photo by Carol Lacer) • By Carol Lacer Chapman News-Times 2016 had already been a tough year for Bob and Lin- da Roskens. Their beautiful country home had been nearly destroyed in the May 25 tor- nado, and they’d worked hard since that time to restore it. On Nov. 29, Bob was feeling especially happy. They had moved back into their home four days earlier, and Bob had just moved the camper and a storage unit off the ce- ment slab to prepare for a new garage which would soon be built. “I felt really good about that, and thought I’d reward myself and go for a little horseback ride, just a short one - maybe 30 minutes. So I saddled up and went out,” Bob said. Bob had purchased a new horse to replace one he lost in the tornado. He’d ridden “Dollor” a couple times, and knew he was very tame. “The mistake I made was I didn’t tell anyone where I was going. I usually do, but I wasn’t going to be gone very long,” Bob said. Bob, Dollor, and Bob’s three faithful dogs, Roxie, Blaze, and Tres, took off to celebrate all the accomplishments. Bob and Linda had rescued Blaze and Tres in years past, and Roxie was from a litter of Vizslas they had raised. Bob was enjoying the ride, just trotting along, and then he decided to give Dollor a gallop, so they sped up a bit. “Then I decided to slow him down, and the last thing I re- member is saying, ‘Dollor, whoa!’” Bob said. “The next thing I know I feel myself in the air. I remember hitting the ground with a thump, and I remember thinking, ‘Wow ... this is a bad dream.’” It occurred to him that he was lying there, having diffi- culty breathing, and thinking it couldn’t be real. “I looked around, and I couldn’t move anything, ex- cept my left foot just a little bit. It seemed like I was there a while, and then my phone started ringing. It was at my hip, but I couldn’t answer it. “I suppose I either went into shock, or was just laying there. I remember my dogs licking my face several times, and I told them no. “It was getting dark and Concerned, she went over to her neighbor, Ken Wood’s farm, and saw that he and Kelly Taylor were over at Ken’s new home north of Old 40 Highway. She drove over to tell them of the situation. “I told them Bob wasn’t at the house, and it was getting late, and I couldn’t reach him on the phone, and that I think there might be a problem. They said they’d come and see if they could find him,” Linda said. Bob often rode to the east and south of the house, in the timber by the river, but this time he had gone to the west in a field. Not knowing where to start, Ken and Kelly took off in a pickup, first looking to the east and south, and then head- ed to the west. Kelly said Lin- da had come to them around 4:30 p.m. They found Dollor first, with one of his reigns broken. Kel- ly thought it might have been about 5:30 p.m. when they spotted Dollor. It was at that point he told her she better call the sheriff and get more help. It had grown dark, but Kel- ly and Ken continued their search, fearing they might not find Bob alive, or if they did, he would have a broken neck. cold, and I started thinking, ‘This might be it. Here I am, and no one knows where I’m at in this field. We’ll have to see what happens.’” Meanwhile, Linda had got home from work about 3:45 p.m., and noticed one of the horses and the mule were out roaming around, which was not normal. “They’d done that before and they don’t go far, but on this occasion they did cross the road,” Linda said. She wondered why Bob wasn’t paying attention, and she called out for him, but he didn’t answer. So she rounded up the horse and mule and put them back in the corral. She called out for him again, and then started dialing his cell phone. “There was no answer, so I came back to check the house and the outbuilding. The dogs and the other horse weren’t here, so I figured they are all together,” Linda said. About a half hour had passed, so she went ahead and fed the horse and mule. “It was a cold, windy, drea- ry day, and it just didn’t feel right. It didn’t seem right. He didn’t leave a note, no indica- tion of what he was doing. It just didn’t feel good,” Linda said. As they drove through the corn stalks in the field, Kelly thought he saw a reflection at the other end of the field, so they drove in that direction. “We thought maybe it was farm machinery, but it was the eyes of the dogs,” Kelly said. “They were moving around. We knew if we had found the dogs, Bob had to be right around there too.” As they pulled up to where the dogs were, Ken spotted Bob lying on the ground be- tween the rows of corn stalks, and called out to him. “Bob told us he had fallen from his horse, but that he couldn’t move anything,” Kelly said. “He had heard his phone ring, it was on his belt, but he couldn’t move his arms.” Kelly said Bob was con- scious when they found him, and had told them he’d been awake the whole time. But he was cold, as the temperature had dropped down to around 40 degrees, and Kelly thought he might have been in shock as well. They called back to the house to tell Linda. By then the ambulance was there, as well as several sheriff’s dep- uties, and a few other friends

for ten long years,And this is our vacation.L.H.H.Each week Lucy Huff sub-

mitted a poem she had written. It was published next to the “Roundabout” section where Frances Mark would remark on events around town. Lucy also entered a contest when she was

in high school. The contest was to write the words to the school song. Lucy worked on the entry while helping her mother with

the weekly laundry. She was the win-ner of the contest and the prize was $1. “Though other schools may justly be proud of what they do …”50 Years Ago,

1967The Chapman

area was drenched with ben-efi cial rain over the weekend with rainfall here offi cially measured at 3.45 inches. The moisture gave a big boost to the wheat crop and provided moisture for preparation of the fi elds for spring planting.The heaviest rain was re-

ported Friday night when a total of 2.55 inches was re-corded by James Black, local government weather record-er.Local residents reported 3.65

inches for the rain this past week. Before satellite and com-puters, weather information was recorded locally. Jim Black was a recorder for many years.Wendell Stull, head basket-

ball coach at Chapman high school for the past four years was named athletic direc-tor. John Sanborn, assistant coach, was advanced to the head coaching job and Roger Suttner was named assistant coach in the change in the basketball coaching staff.What a great group of teach-

ers and coaches. In addition to their sports activities, many remember Mr. Stull as the Driver’s Education instructor and John Sanborn as one of the counselors at the high school.25 Years Ago, 1992

Column: Last Christmas I had all kinds of plans to make Christmas cookies and Judy Blixt even loaned me some of her cookie cutters. Well one thing led to another and I never got around to it. David Graves heard my sad tale one day and we have planned two or three times to get togeth-er and make a batch. Again, things got in the way and it was never done. Well, last Fri-day Dave walked into the Ad-vertiser offi ce and handed me a plate all wrapped up with a pretty bow and said Merry Christmas. Inside were the prettiest and tastiest cookies I have ever had. That just goes to prove that Christmas can happen anytime throughout the year and is not confi ned to December.This past week I have heard

many stories and acts of kind-ness that David did for his family and friends in Chap-man, especially while working at the grocery store. Many of you know that he passed away unexpectedly a week ago. The family plans a private service at a later date.Quote of the week: “My fake

to start the walking habit again, especially if the winter months have left you a little sluggish. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas is hosting its National Walk @ Lunch Day® on April 26 to encourage people to take a walk during their lunch break, or another time during the day to start a healthy routine. Or-ganized events will take place in some communities, but even with no organized event, it’s a good reminder to walk for health. A regular walking pro-gram can help with heart dis-ease, type-2 diabetes and oste-oporosis, while also reducing stress, improving muscle tone and controlling weight, ac-cording to a press release from Blue Cross Blue Shield.

If you like rainy days, you probably really enjoyed last week. I like rainy days a lot, but even I was feeling a lit-tle gloomy as the rainy, cloudy days continued. The rain started Friday eve-ning, March 24 with about an inch, and it seemed to contin-ue a little each day, though some days it was just cloudy with some sprinkles. Wednesday it rained all day, and according to www.localconditions.com, Chapman received about 2.5 inches throughout the day. The total amount of rainfall for the week seemed to be around fi ve inches. It was wonderful to get the much needed rain after months of high winds and very little precipitation. The grass is quickly turning green, and fl owers, trees and bushes are blooming.• The Talmage Quartet and

special guests The Friends Trio will present a benefi t concert for longtime coach Steve Mill-er this Saturday night, April 8 at 6:30 p.m. at the Chapman High School auditorium.Steve is undergoing treatment

for gliobastoma, a type of brain cancer, at City of Hope in Du-arte, Calif.Donations will be accepted

at the concert. The Talmage Quartet includes Kalen Beber-meyer, Gregg Noel, Shonna Nely, Arlan Bebermeyer and Bill Gibson, with band mem-bers Justin Sly and Marlin Woodman. They perform old time and contemporary gospel as well as many songs they have written.

The Friends Trio includes Jean Book, Vicki Paul and Diana Kuntz, and has been to-gether for more than 30 years. They sing traditional and con-temporary gospel music.

Obituary

David Wayne Graves, 63, of Manhattan, Kan., formerly of Chapman, passed away Wednesday, March 22, at his resi-dence.David was born in Junc-

tion City, on Sept. 27, 1953, the son of the late Viola Virginia (McCa-rty) Graves and Herbert Russell Graves, Sr. He graduated from Chap-man High School with the class of 1971 and attended Cloud County Community College and the University of Kansas.He held various positions throughout his working career. Da-

vid is dearly remembered for his employment while at the Chap-man “Getty,” Chapman Grocery, Walmart Automotive, and while helping others through OCCK in Salina and other communities.David was a well-known car enthusiast, especially big cars

from the 70’s. He never knew a stranger and cared deeply for his friends and family. David is survived by two sisters, Carol Jean (Stephen) Kirk-

bride, of Chapman; Nancy Lou, (John) Rhodes, of Abilene; broth-er, Herbert Russell, (Kay) Graves, Jr., also of Chapman, and by many nieces and nephews. David was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, Thomas Harvey Graves and a sister, Barbara Ann Steppe.The family will have a private service at a later date. They have

requested that memorial contributions be made towards the David Wayne Graves Memorial c/o Astra Bank, P.O. Box 189, Chap-man, KS 67431.

Roskens/from page 1_____________________________who had heard about the situa-tion. The ambulance drove out to where Bob, Kelly and Ken were, and the medics placed Bob on a stretcher. Kelly said an emergency med-

ical helicopter had landed in an alfalfa fi eld a quarter mile away. He said they landed there because the alfalfa was short, and had they landed in the corn fi eld where Bob was, the wind from the helicopter would have stirred up all the stalks, leaves and corn. When they put Bob into the

ambulance, Kelly heard the paramedic ask Bob what hap-pened, and Bob had said he had fallen off his horse. “The paramedic asked if he’d

done that before, and he said, ‘oh yeah, bunches of times, since I was fi ve years old,’” Kelly said. Bob was off to Salina in the

emergency helicopter, and Lin-da and her good friend, Joan Taylor, who had come to be her support that evening, were not far behind in a car.

Bob and Linda were relieved when they were told Bob hadn’t broken anything. His daughter, Lindsay, wrote

on her Facebook page that her dad had “what is referred to as a central spinal cord injury, and there was bruising between the second and third vertebrae. This type of injury effects the arms/shoulders, more than the legs.”“They told us he would have

a 95-98 percent recovery, and that it would take about 18 months. It was gonna be a long haul,” Linda said. Bob recalled doctors had said

it was like a severe whiplash, and they were concerned about damaged blood vessels, and the possibility of a stroke. The road to healing began

right away, as the following day Bob was transferred to KU Med Center. There he wore a neck brace for a month, and was in ICU for some time be-fore being moved to an inpa-tient rehab facility.“At that time I couldn’t so

much as scratch my nose,” Bob said. “But Dec. 9 was a big day, I could scratch my nose.”In mid-January, he completed

the inpatient therapy, but still needing more therapy, he went to the Rehab Institute of Kan-sas City as an outpatient, taken there each day by his daughter, Hillary, who lives in the area. “I was there all day doing

various therapy until March 15. That’s when I fi nally got to come home,” Bob said. He’s currently doing swim

therapy at the YMCA and other therapy as well, but the progno-sis is good. It’s been a long stretch for

Bob and Linda and their fam-ily, but they are grateful for the good outcome. They know things could have turned out much worse. “It wasn’t my time to go. I’ve

got more to do,” Bob said. “I can’t thank the people enough for being with us through all this.”Back in their lovely restored

home, the three dogs, Rox-

ie, Blaze, and Tres are always close by, dogs that were faithful to stay with their master when he needed them most. Perhaps Blaze and Tres re-

membered that they too had been rescued as they stayed with Bob on that cold, damp night in the corn fi eld, instead of heading back to the house, where there was warmth and food. “If they hadn’t stayed with

me, they say they wouldn’t have found me in time,” Bob said.Thanks to a concerned wife

who didn’t wait to ask for help, good friends who responded right away, and faithful dogs who wouldn’t leave their mas-ter, Bob is still among us. For those in Chapman who

appreciate the wagon swales Bob worked so hard to reveal on Indian Hill, working along-side him in the Lions Club, or who simply enjoy his friend-ship, this is good news.

A Pastor’s Viewpoint• By Rev. Ken Trickle, Jr.The Soul of Our NationThose of you who read my

weekly columns are aware that my theology rests largely in the New Testament. The cen-trality of it occurs in Matthew 25:31-46. This is the epic sec-ond coming of Je-sus Christ. The King comes in his glory accompanied by the angels. He sits on his throne and people from all nations are gathered before him. He sepa-rates the saved from the lost as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.What is the difference? It is

quite obvious. The sheep, or in other words the saved, are those who fed the hungry, welcomed strangers, visited the sick clothed the naked, and went to those in prison. Basically those who were truly aligned with what Christ taught, cared for society’s most vulnerable.

In “The Topeka Capital-Jour-nal” of March 20, 2017 was a deeply disturbing essay by Steve and Cokie Roberts. The

title of their article was “We’re Los-ing the Soul of Our Country.” Steve and Cokie Roberts were expressing concern about the health care bill that was being drafted in the House of Representatives.

It was proposing major cuts in Medicaid, a program which assists the most vulnerable Americans. The Roberts did not know this at the time of their essay. The proposed bill was abandoned because it did not have the support needed to pass. The attempt to end the Affordable Health Care Act has also been abandoned for the time being.Steve and Cokie Roberts point

out that under Obamacare, States could use federal funds to expand Medicaid eligibility

to families earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Thirty-one states took advantage of the option. This added about 11 million Ameri-cans to the Medicaid rolls.The authors I am quoting note

that cutting Medicaid is not just bad public policy. It is also immoral and violates the most basic obligation of Christianity. The Roberts are right. We are to care for “the least of these.”John Kasich, the Republican

governor of Ohio, made an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” He is a strong sup-porter of Medicaid expansion. He said, “We’re talking about lives. We better be careful we’re not losing the soul of our country because we’re playing politics.” Kasich also noted that 700,000 Ohioans have gained insurance coverage under Med-icaid expansion.Last week I preached a ser-

mon based on the ninth chapter of John’s Gospel. Jesus restores sight to a man who had been blind since birth. The Phari-sees condemn Christ because he performs this miracle on the Sabbath. Healing was not to be done on the Sabbath. It was bet-ter to let someone suffer than to heal them on the Sabbath. To-day we have politicians who believe it is better to let people suffer than to spend money on their health care. These people are the Pharisees of the 21st century.

sor at Kansas State, presented a research paper at a conven-tion in Chicago, took husband Trevor, sons Fynn, Wyatt and Gage, along, the latter just two weeks old. Mostly she drove, Trevor conducted his start-up business on the computer in the front seat.• The following is from a 2010

Teller Tales: In 1980 Alvin “Si” Mulanax, EHS 1929, wrote and published a genealogical book of the Mulanax family, 320 pages, many pictures of persons, machines, buildings, gave one to Enterprise Library. Before becoming Professor of Business and Economics at Kansas State 1947-1977, bought the Hardware Store pre-viously owned by J.F. Buhrer and Meyers and Chandler. Er-nest “Shorty” Mulanax took over the shop from his father and operated it for many years. Louis and Ernest were respon-sible for installing natural gas lines in nearly all the houses in Enterprise. Lyle “Nocky” Mu-lanax, EHS 1931, became well known for his fast food places in Abilene and other places. Sister Faye graduated EHS

1931.• Shorty and Velma’s sons

graduated from EHS, Orrin Dean “Red” in 1945, Phillip in 1961, he eventually holding management positions in Ehr-sam’s-CE-ABB.• This writer thinks “Si” was

briefl y a teacher in the Enter-prise schools and that ABB sent Phillip Mulanax on a trip to the Far East.• At Meadowlark we saw the

memorable 1967 movie “The Graduate” in which the re-turning hero-student-athlete, played by the unhandsome Dustin Hoffman, is seduced by the Mrs. Robinson, of the famous song, played by Anne Bancroft. She is the mother of the girl he wants to marry. Ev-ery time the Graduate is alone with the mother she starts to take off her clothes! Meanwhile the unknowing husband-father tells the Graduate to relax, have a good time. This is an awful mess. The Graduate fi nally runs miles to break up the wedding of his true love.• There was a Robinson fami-

ly on Grant Street in Enterprise.
