50 YEARS LAtER: MOURNINg, INtRIgUE SURVIVE JFK’S DEAtHBy ABBY ECKELHerald Staff Writer
He’s not exactly sure why, but James Marples said he always felt a strong connec-tion to the late President John F. Kennedy. Marples, Longview, Texas, wasn’t yet born when JFK was assas-sinated Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas, he said, and hopes he never has to experi-ence the grief that comes with
the loss of a president. “The tragedy affected all people,” he said. “Most things don’t, but this was the ultimate storm. Everybody in every state lost their president. I’ve never had to experience this in my lifetime and hope I never do, but that’s probably why I’ve had the attachment to [the assassi-nation] because it was so close to the time of my birth.” Born just 22 days after the assassination, Marples said it partly was his respect and admi-ration for JFK, the nation’s first and only Catholic president, that led to his confirmation name.
“My dad’s full name was John Marples,” he said. “I admired my dad and the late president so much that ‘John’ is my Catholic confirmation name. On occasion, I sign my name James Adolph John Marples. That name just really resonated with me.” With the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination Friday, many Americans have yet to get closure, partly because some still think details of the day remain shrouded in mystery, Marples, who has family in the Ottawa area, said.

ERIC SCRUTCHFIELD
Accused man: God, lawyer ‘saved my life’
By DOUG CARDERHerald Senior Writer
Eric Scrutchfield was at a crossroads in sum-mer 2011. He was facing charg-es that could put him in prison for most of his life in a child sexual assault case. He didn’t know where to turn. Sitting in a parking lot at the Life Church in Olathe, the self-ad-mitted “argumentative agnostic” turned to God, he said. “I had only prayed a couple of times in my life — once when my son was born I prayed that I would be a good father, and once when I prayed
that my wife, Yvonne, and I would stay togeth-er,” Scrutchfield said. “The kids had been to church, but I was anti-Christianity. About a month after I had been charged [in May 2011], I found myself in the church parking lot. [The case] had kind of broke me, if you will. I came to the end of myself.” Now jobless and car-rying the burden of a crushing legal case on his shoulders, Scrutch-field said he decided to give God a chance that summer day in the church parking lot.
MIDDLE SCHooL
Central Heights sticking with practice during school hoursBy ABBY ECKELHerald Staff Writer
RICHMOND — After months of discussion and a survey issued to parents at parent-teach-er conferences in Octo-ber, the Central Heights school board decided to keep middle school ath-letic practices during the school day. Options presented to parents during confer-ences included leaving practices as currently scheduled; lengthen-ing sports practices to 4 p.m.; and moving prac-tices to before and/or after school. The results revealed that 79 parents chose the first option, 36 chose the second, and 60 chose the third, the school board reported. After review-ing the numbers, the board chose not to take any action on the issue, leaving middle school practices at their cur-rent time, White said. Before making the decision, the board asked Scott Lane, mid-dle and high school girls
basketball coach, for his thoughts on a possible scheduling change. “I can only speak to indoor sports confident-ly because that’s where my skin of the game is,” Lane said. “I really cau-tion what we’re doing with this.” Middle school athletes now practice during the last hour of the school day, opting out of an elec-tive class for seventh hour, Jim White, superin-tendent, said. The issue Lane sees, he said, with moving middle school practice to after school or even before school, is that the number of stu-dents participating in middle school athletics would decrease. “We’ve struggled to keep our numbers up,” Lane said at Monday night’s board meeting. “Kids live in 20 different directions around here, and I can tell you we fear what it could do to our numbers and that’s where we’re at.”

Headlines from The Ottawa Herald compiled by local historian, Louis Reed.
November 1913 •Ifthesentimentofabodyofbusinessmenwhoexpressed an opinion in a meeting last night is backed up by the Ottawa Chautauqua board, Ottawa will have a Chautauqua next year with a program arranged according to the modern and more popular ideas, which will cost less and promises to draw more patronage than those of the hitherto more conserva-tive seasons. Among the things Mr. Stucker said last night was that “heretofore the Chautauqua program has been especially pleasing to a certain class gathered from a large territory, whereas the great increase in the number of Chautauquas surrounding us, needs a program selected to please the masses from a local territory only.” And Mr. Stucker said that such a program can be obtained from one source for $1,600 which would be better for everyone concerned than the ones which have been secured in previous years for $2,700 and over. •FranklinCountyStateBankwinsappealoverthe Underwoods on construction of a building at Third and Main streets. •Afteramysteriousdisappearanceofaboutthree days, U.I.

Budging sludge
Photo by Jeanny Sharp/The Ottawa Herald
Bulldozers remove sludge Wednesday from two City of Ottawa-owned ponds near the corner of Beech and Sec-ond streets. The sludge is being dredged and pumped from the ponds into a truck and then spread over ag-ricultural land, Jim Bradley, the city’s utilities director, said. “The sludge is primarily lime, and it’s good for farm ground,” Bradley said. “About every 10 to 12 years, the sludge builds up to a point that we have to remove it.” The ponds contain water that has been circulated through the city’s water treatment plant filters, Bradley said. “It’s not waste water,” he said. One of the two bulldozers, pictured above at right, became stuck, but it did not cause any damage to the pond, Bradley said. The project, which is being undertaken by an independent contractor, will require another week to two weeks to complete, Bradley estimated.

KENNEDY: ‘A breath of fresh air’ halted by sniper(Continued from Page 1)

President John F. Kennedy, center, and his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, right, ride in the presidential motorcade Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas moments before JFK suffered a fatal gunshot to the head. Dallas today is home to numerous sites memorializing the president’s assassination, including the Texas School Book Depository’s Sixth Floor Museum, from which Lee Harvey Oswald is said to have fired the shot that killed Kennedy, and the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Memorial. A Conspiracy Museum focused on the assassination was housed across the street from the memorial until 2006, when the museum lost its lease.
Tilting leftWhy might Democrats win the Sunflower State in 2014? Kansas most assuredly remains a Republi-can voting state, but that doesn’t mean the GOP has a lock on the governor’s office or any other statewide position. Kansas is one of 15 states with gubernatorial races that might switch parties during the coming election, according to a recent report in the Washington Post. Gov. Sam Brownback’s tumbling approval rat-ings of well below 50 percent, as well as the pres-ence of a viable and popular opponent, state Rep. Paul Davis, R., Lawrence, were cited by the Wash-ington Post writers as reasons for the Sunflower State election to be one to watch for a potential change in control. We agree. Believe it or not, Brownback and his extremist policies are too ex-treme for even a GOP stronghold like Kansas. Moderate Republican Joe Scarborough, co-host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” said the party’s focus should shift back to those pragmatic core principles all Americans support rather than on those issues fostering battles, according to an interview in Saturday’s Parade magazine, which runs in The Herald’s Weekender edition. The Sunflower State’s Democratic Party agrees with Scarborough’s sentiment — though obviously not his choice of political affiliation — and thinks Kansas voters want to get back on track and plan to accomplish unity by electing a moderate-centrist to the governor’s mansion, rather than an ideologue. Considering Kansas’ gubernatorial election as an open race is an advantageous starting point because Kansas voters deserve choices that are driven by what we agree is good for the state, rather than extreme issues that distract from a politician’s actual performance in office. Kansans’ support of sensible, common-sense solutions for challenges facing the state is re-flected in their choice of those who held the governor’s seat during the past 60 years, which showed a Democratic candidate holding office for 54 percent of the time rather than a Repub-lican. Kansans ignored the candidate’s party in favor of the individuals and their own issues-oriented stances rather than being resigned to keep up Kansas’ reputation as GOP state. The Republican Party in Kansas has a long history of imploding from its own infighting — typical-ly when those in the extreme fringe of the party go to war with those moderates who don’t share their hard-line conservative views. Franklin County’s Republican Central Com-mittee is no different, with those in the ex-treme conservative spectrum running the local group to the exclusion — and sometimes ridi-cule and shunning — of those within the party who don’t fall in line with far-right party dog-ma. That schism weakens the party, as well as poisons its performance, because it no longer represents the broader interests of all voters with the same “R” on their party affiliation. The sense of being jettisoned by your own party because she wasn’t “Republican enough” prompted former state Sen. Jean Schodorf, R-Wichita, to swap parties so she could challenge crazy-conservative incumbent Kris Kobach in the coming Secretary of State election. Kansans are earning their way onto an im-portant list of not-yet-decided races, indicating residents indeed have a free will and won’t be forced into voting for anyone merely because of the label appearing next to their name on a ballot. Those are the kind of American and real-istic, matter-of-fact Kansas values for which we all should be proud and continue to hold dearly.

Kennedy’s 1960 speech was tailor-made for the ears of all Kansans I read Saturday’s Herald story, “Brief encounter forever links girl, slain president,” by Doug Carder. It told of a former Ottawa resident, Kathy Atkinson, who as a little girl was at Parkland Hospital in Dallas when it was announced that Presi-dent Kennedy had died. The photo-graph of the little girl mirrored the nation’s grief. I am a native Kansan myself. I was at Parkland Hospital in Dallas just a few days ago. Although 50 years has passed since the assassination: I can still sense the grief. A friend of my parents, Vic Zakoura (formerly of Osawatomie), attended then-U.S. Sen. John F. Kennedy’s Oct. 22, 1960, speech at Lawrence Stadium in Wichita. Kennedy even shook Vic’s hand. From reading transcripts, I see where Kennedy’s remarks were not the usual “canned-speech,” but tailor-made to the ears of Kansans. JFK said during the speech, “Can you tell me how anyone who works in the plants here in Wichita or in a business across Kansas, that work at a time when we are moving ahead at the slowest rate of economic growth since the last re-cession of 1958, can vote for Mr. Nixon and the Republican Party?” JFK told farmers and ranchers he had optimism that they “could do better” than facing red-ink or just breaking-even. Kennedy told the crowd: “Everything that you deal with in this state is tied up with our position in the world. The food we grow, the airplanes we build or do not build, the oil that we take out of the ground, the resources that we develop, the businesses that are maintained, the jobs that we pro-vide, the security that we give to our older citizens, the kind of education we give our children, the sense of motion in this state, the sense of mo-tion in the United States.” Before his speech ended, JFK used one pivotal word that America needs: Vigor. I think a similar vigor is needed in Kansas and in America today. I wish President Kennedy was still alive to inspire Americans to regain “that sense of motion.” When we, as American, get the wheel of unity moving, the possibilities are endless. We can have prosperity and progress. By contrast, our current president and Congress are the poster-children of dysfunction, stag-nation and polarization. President Kennedy is truly missed. And, many people still shed tears be-cause of his death some 50 years ago.

Check IDs My wife and I recently were the victims of identity theft. The initial shock and frustration are probably easy for most to identify with, as it unfortunately is a common problem. The fraud actually was initiated by our decision to create a new joint
bank account after our recent mar-riage. Checks were ordered, and we went on our way. However, after several weeks, we noticed they’d never arrived. My wife decided to check our online banking (even though we’d not yet begun using this account other than for deposits) and noticed fraudulent activity had been taking place for about a week. We immediately closed the account and filed a police report. The frustration at this point was manageable, as we were assured our money would be credited back by the bank, and that if a report was filed, we had a good chance of catch-ing the individual who’d stolen our checks before they even made it to us. It was infuriating to know some-one had been bouncing around to lo-cal businesses using our checks, but what was most annoying was what continued to take place. Though payment was stopped on all checks, the account was closed, and a report was filed, the indi-vidual was allowed to continue using our checks at several locations in Ot-tawa, without apparently ever being asked to show ID. Repeat trips to a big box store, gas stations and a res-taurant were made. These business (and who knows how many others) continued to take check after check without ever asking for corroborat-ing identification of any kind. Even more infuriating, is that because of this negligence on the part of their management to train employees to ask for ID, when the checks bounced, they wanted their money and then reported us to a col-lection agency. This past weekend, we received our first collections notice, reported by one of the gas stations. Realistically, there prob-ably are several more to come. The sinking feeling sat in as we realized how damaging this could be to our credit. Imagine how this could affect our prospects of buying our first home? Because of negligence to ask for something as simple as an ID. If you work at a local business, do everyone a favor and ask for ID when checks or any payment is presented. Think of the time you would save lo-cal police departments. To the businesses that already accepted our stolen checks: Just because you might have the means to “take money now and collect later,” doesn’t mean you should turn a blind eye and encourage fraudu-lent activity. Think of the potential customers who might not have the means to allow their credit to be trashed because of your negligence. If you were worried about collecting our money, you might as well stop. We will shop elsewhere in support of those who do business the right way.

FFA fair ban I read with interest the Oct. 26-27 Herald article by Abby Eckel. It took long enough, but I guess it could be said the Franklin County Fair Board did give a reason or reasons why they have determined to ban FFA members from showing at the Frank-
lin County Fair. However, I think it would be remiss if certain parts of the fair board’s statements were not challenged. “All the individual has to do is join a Franklin County 4-H Club.” What club or clubs a young person joins, or does not join, is a family decision based on a variety of factors. If a fam-ily does not want to participate in the 4-H program, why should an arbitrary board force them to do so? The article states the fair board made this decision at its August meeting. The board members did not explain their reasoning until Oct. 26. It takes two months to explain them-selves? Also, is The Herald’s article the fair board’s official notice of the decision? “Board members said this week they needed to work out the specifics before releasing further information about the policy ... ” What specifics? The board has stated FFA members may not show anything at the fair. What else is there to say or do? “ ... The cause of the change was so-called ‘double dipping’ by some FFA members.” What does that mean? If an FFA/4-H member shows in two counties, the same market animal cannot be shown in both counties. In 2013, it was determined the same rule would apply to breed-ing animals. At a meeting with the Extension Council during the sum-mer of 2013, it was determined that this rule had not been made avail-able to the young people in time for it to be effective for 2013. The rule would apply to breeding animals for 2014. So if the youngster can’t show the same animal in two counties, explain how this is double-dipping. The opportunity to exhibit in multiple counties “is prevented in the guidelines of other surrounding counties such as Osage.” What other counties? And does that really mat-ter? We are not dealing with other counties; we are dealing with Frank-lin County. “It wasn’t fair for FFA members to exhibit in Franklin County without taking responsibility for some of the event preparations, which typically are shouldered by the 4-H clubs.” Why is that? Because the fair book instructs FFA members to pick up their checks at the Extension Office. A review of the book (as far as we could find) specified no duty for an FFA member. One call to the FFA adviser would solve this problem. Also, it should be noted, that on two occasions, my granddaughter asked what she could do to help. Both times, she was told everything was being done and she didn’t need to help with anything. “Since the fair board doesn’t govern FFA members, it doesn’t have the ability to require them to help with such fair preparations, the board said.” Since the fair board states it doesn’t govern FFA mem-bers, what right does it have to ban them from the fair? I don’t think board members can have it both ways. If they can’t assign them du-ties, how can they ban them? See you at the fair!

Andres hired as first Ottawa wrestling coachBy The Herald Staff
Ottawa University has hired its first men’s and women’s wres-tling coach in Kevin Andres. It is a brand new program and will begin competing next school year. Andres will begin his du-ties Dec. 2. “We are very excited about adding an experienced profes-sional in coach Andres to start our programs,” Ottawa Athletic Director Arabie Conner said. “His level of professionalism and experience with building colle-giate programs from the ground up the right way with a focus on scholar athletes is going to give the programs an immediate jump start in both recruiting and overall academic and athletic competitiveness. We’re excited to welcome coach Andres and his
family to OU.” Andres is not new to starting a wres-tling program. He has start-ed four differ-ent wrestling programs in 16 years of col-legiate wres-tling. Andres has coached 27 wrestling All-Americans (19 men and eight women), has had teams finish in the top 10 in the nation seven times, and was a four-time Na-tional Collegiate Wrestling As-sociation (NCWA) Southeastern Conference coach of the year. Andres also is heavily in-volved in the NCWA and works closely as a founding member
and as an executive board mem-ber. In 2007, he was inducted into the NCWA Hall of Fame. “My family and I feel fortu-nate to have the opportunity to come to Ottawa,” Andres said. “I love coaching and the challenge of building a program from the start is really exciting. The uni-versity has been so welcoming, and I look forward to building on the university’s tradition of suc-cess. I can’t wait to get started and am confident we can build something special at Ottawa.” “Adding men’s and women’s wrestling programs to our cam-pus community has created a buzz of excitement,” Conner said. “We’re excited to build our programs with a coach who is extremely passionate about the sport and who is full of ideas for
implementation and growth of the programs.” Andres spent nine years as head men’s and women’s wres-tling coach at Mercer University in Macon, Ga. While at MU, he established NCWA and National Collegiate Women’s Wrestling Association (NCWWA) wrestling programs and was the NCWA Na-tional Compliance Officer. Andres monitored eligibility of more than 100 teams and 1,100 athletes. He also participated in developing rules and regulations for the NCWA and supervised five other regional compliance officers. Mercer won four Geor-gia State championships and fin-ished second once in the tourna-ment’s six-year history. Mercer also amassed four top-10 finishes at the National Duals Champion-
ship, which started in 2009, and one top-10 finish at the national championships. Before going to Mercer Uni-versity, Andres was the director of student activities, head wres-tling coach and director of camps and conferences at Belmont Ab-bey College. There he advised the College Union Board, the Greek Council, the Commuter Council and the senior class. He also started an NCWA wrestling program. While at BAC, the wres-tling program had two top-10 fin-ishes at the National Champion-ships. Andres has also published two articles, “The Role Title IX Plays in Life (or Death) of Wrestling” and “No Longer Just a Club.” Both articles were published in Wrestling USA.
OU campus buzzing this week
By The Herald Staff
LAMONI, Iowa — The Ottawa University men’s basketball team Tuesday fell in double overtime to Graceland University, 118-114, in Lamoni, Iowa. Senior Julian Rose netted a career-high 43 points, second all-time in the Ottawa record book for single-game scoring. The Braves took a 12-point lead into the half over the Yellow-jackets, 55-43, shoot-ing 53 percent from the floor and 63 percent from behind the three-point line. Ottawa increased its lead to 19 points at the 15:47 mark in the second half. Graceland began to chip away at the Braves lead. Graceland shot 54 percent in the second half and two overtime periods to outscore the Braves 75-59. The Yellowjackets have one of the highest scoring offenses in the NAIA and are ranked
13th in the NAIA Divi-sion I in three-point field goal percentage (.416) and 19th in scoring offense per game (91.8). Graceland outscored the Braves 14-10 in the second overtime period. Rose shot 16-for-23 shooting from the floor. He went 2-for-5 from be-hind the arc and 9-for-11 from the free-throw line. He also had seven rebounds and three as-sists. Kameron Lindsay and Adam Hasty scored 19 points for the Braves. Lindsay finished with a team-high 12 rebounds. Hasty and Lindsay tied for the team-high in assists with four. Riley Falk was the fourth Brave in double digits with 12 points and six rebounds. The Braves (3-4) play 7 p.m. Saturday at home against Haskell. Graceland (118) — Lawson 31, Emmert 18, Martin 16, Fran-cisco 16, Danner 5, Lilley 10, Halls 9, Sathoff 7, Claggett 6. Ottawa (114) — Rose 43, Lindsay 19, Adam Hasty 19, Falk 12, Lundry 4, Alex Hasty 5, Regi-er 5, Gant 3, Haase 2, Hatchett 2.
Braves fall to’Jackets in 2 OT
By GREG MASTHerald Sports Editor
The Ottawa University community is jumping this week. A school-re-cord four teams are competing at the NAIA national level. “There is a lot of buzz and excite-ment,” Ottawa Athletic Director Ara-bie Conner said. “With four teams, that is a good number of student-ath-letes running around here excited. A lot of planning and questions. “I know it has created a lot of buzz with the alumni, board and commu-nity. It is a neat thing. Everybody feels a part of that because we are a community. “It is a unique opportunity to have so many teams to be supporting. A big population of our campus will be competing on Saturday.” The women’s cross-country and soc-cer teams along with volleyball and football will be on the national stage. “It is definitely exciting to see four teams out of the fall season compet-ing at the national level,” Ottawa as-sistant athletic director and women’s basketball coach Bruce Tate said. “It lifts the spirits of the other programs — the winter and spring teams. It gives us expectations to live up to. It has been great for our student-ath-letes to have this experience. “It is a pretty neat situation not only for our university, but for our student-athletes.” Conner said nothing but positive things occur with this kind of success. “This winning does become conta-gious,” she said. “People are feeling
good things about things. Hopefully, it continues through seasons.” Tate said it is nice to see his wom-en’s basketball players’ reaction to the success of the other teams. “The neat part — once our game is over — that is the first thing they are doing: getting on the cell phone, checking scores, reading texts or looking on Twitter,” Tate said. “They are excited about what is going on with the other teams. They are still engaged with the fall sports. “They are friends, suitemates and in class with each other. It is a bond that is hard to be broken on a small campus like Ottawa.”
Announcements The NAIA had selection shows available online. The football selec-tions were made Sunday, while vol-leyball and soccer came Monday. “It is fun the way the NAIA does their announcing,” Conner said. “We had the Sunday announcement with football. It was a waiting game to see what the big picture was going to look like. Watching the selection show on Monday, it was a lot of fun. We are a little scattered. The teams get to travel to places they have not been. It is a lot of fun to have the opportunity to be playing at that level.” Football plays at second-ranked Grand View, Iowa, in Des Moines, Iowa. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. Vol-leyball travels to No. 19 Wayland Bap-tist in Plainview, Texas. The match is at 2 p.m.
The Lady Braves soccer team plays at ninth-ranked Cumberland, Tenn., in Lebannon, Tenn. The match starts at 1 p.m. The women’s cross-country team competes at 11:45 a.m. at Rim Rock in Lawrence.
Story to tell Each team has a different story be-hind qualifying for the NAIA cham-pionships. “It all came together on Saturday,” Conner said. “A lot of dramatic fin-ishes. It was the best soccer game I ever watched. To see it come down to the shootouts and everything else. I kept getting text updates on volley-ball. They were always battling from behind. The waiting game if football would get in. “It all came together and ended positively for us.” Conner said all four teams peaked at the right time, which is a testament to the coaches’ preparation through-out the season. “All four teams, a perfect storm of things,” she said. “That is what you work for.” Tate, who was an assistant coach on three Lady Braves basketball NAIA qualifying teams, said this is a special time for those four teams. “Cherish the moment,” he said. “Go out there and represent Ottawa and our conference. It is going to be neat to see how the weekend unfolds. It is fun times. It is a good way to close out the fall seasons.”

The number of middle school students participating in sports is at an all-time high, Bud Welch, middle school princi-pal, said, and he too fears those numbers would drop if practice time was changed. “We have 87 percent [of middle school students] this fall that are involved in ex-tra-curricular activity,” Welch said pre-viously. “Whereas, I think most schools will get about 40 percent, and we have 84 out of 98 students involved in activities.” There are pros and cons to having practice during school hours and after school, Welch said. One likely concern for parents, he said, is that some kids might not be able to participate if prac-tice was moved to after school. “I’m the middle school principal so I’ve got to be able to speak for all students, not just a certain group of students,” Welch said. “We have some students that I don’t think would be
allowed to participate if we did [prac-tice] after school, whether for economic reasons or they have no transportation because their parents are working — things like that. And students there de-serve to compete just like anyone else.” Just because middle school practice is scheduled during the last hour of the school day, doesn’t mean athletes can’t practice after school, Lane said. “If you want to [practice] after school, you can — there’s nothing stopping it,” Lane said. “I told any eighth-graders when we had a work day, that if they want-ed to come in and work they could come in and work. If you can coordinate with the parents now to bring them in when there’s a gym open, do it. But if we went completely after school there would be kids where parents can’t come get them at times or take them to morning prac-tice so they wouldn’t have the ability to go out, and we need them to go out and develop their skills in eighth grade.”

Solving Damian Dermite Solving Damian Dermite Solving Damian Dermite
Recap: As the students frantically evacuate the cafeteria, Damian is left standing alone covered in Alex’s smelly egg and onion sandwich. At home that evening, Alex contemplates telling his family about the bully, hoping they might be able to help.
After dinner Alex plodded up the stairs back to his room. He went to bed early that night. He was simply fed up. He wanted to tell his family everything, but just couldn’t. Alex did not want to go to school anymore. He didn’t understand why Damian was so mean to him. Sure he could understand why he might be a little mad, considering Alex was sick all over him, and he did throw pepperoni pizza in his face. However, it still didn’t make sense why he was just so mean. Maybe Alex could just say that he was sorry and everything would be okay.
The next morning, Alex was tired, grumpy, nervous, and frustrated. It was a horrible feeling being scared of a bully. School was supposed to be a safe place, a place where children learned and made friends, not enemies.
In homeroom class, Henry noticed that something was wrong. “Psst . . . Alex,” whispered Henry.
Alex was slouched forward in his chair looking out the window, gazing up at the clouds and ignoring what Mrs. Stoolpigeon was saying about an important assembly happening that morning.
“Psst . . . Alex,” Henry tried again. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine,” replied Alex, trying not to look like something was wrong. He straightened up in his seat and pretended to pay attention. The students in the class began to get up and walk towards the door. Alex had no idea what was going on. He too stood up and waited behind Henry at the back of the line. “Where are we going?” whispered Alex.
“We’re going to the gym,” began Henry, “Didn’t you listen? We have an assembly.” “What?” Alex’s heart began to race. He wasn’t prepared for a trip to the gym. “With the whole school?” added Alex.
“Yup, I guess so.” “What are they having an assembly for?
We don’t need to have an assembly. School just started. It’s only the first week. I haven’t even opened my binder yet. I don’t get it.” Alex was clearly upset.
“Alex, what’s the matter?” asked Henry. “What’s wrong with having an assembly? We get to miss some class time. Besides, we get to hang out in the gym.”
“Well then you should go to the gym. I don’t need to go. I’ve hung out in there lots of times. It’s big. It has high ceilings and
smells like vinegar.” The kids in the class looked back at
Alex. They thought he was acting peculiar. Alex had to think of something quick.
He didn’t want to go into the gym because Damian Dermite and his friends would be in there. The only thing that he could think of was to hide in the boy’s washroom again, but that didn’t work the last time. They would definitely be looking for him there, especially if they didn’t see Alex at the assembly. His mind was spinning. The kids in the class began to walk out into the hallway.
“Wait!” shouted Alex running back to his desk. “We can’t go yet!”
Mrs. Stoolpigeon stopped and turned around. She was at the front of the line. She placed her hands on her hips and looked
over at Alex. “Alex Thomas, what seems to be the problem?”
“We can’t go to the assembly, Mrs. Stoolpigeon. Um, we were going to have a spelling test today. Remember? You said we were going to have spelling every Friday. Today is Friday. We need to have the test now.”
“We do not need to do the test now, Alex,” replied Mrs. Stoolpigeon.
“Yes we do. The spelling test is really important because . . . because . . .”
“Alex . . .” Alex looked around the classroom. He
could sense the feeling of panic begin entering his body. “If we don’t do the spelling test right now, I might die!”
Mrs. Stoolpigeon was shocked. “Pardon me?”
“Yes, I might die if we don’t do spelling right now. You see, there could be a really important word that I need to know how to
spell. What if I’m at a restaurant and I can’t read the menu properly because I didn’t learn how to spell ‘pizza,’ and instead of ordering pizza, I ordered ‘poison.’”
“Alex, don’t be silly. You can’t order poison at a restaurant.”
“You can if you don’t know how to spell,” replied Alex.
Mrs. Stoolpigeon was not impressed. She simply rolled her eyes and continued leading the students down the hall. “Let’s go, class. Single-file. You too Alex.”
“But Mrs. Stoolpigeon . . .” “Alex, that’s enough.” The hall began filling with other classes
as they were making their way down to the gym. Alex spotted a grade eight class coming
out of the computer room. His hands started to shake. He could feel his throat dry up. He looked around for something, anything to get out of going. It was then he spotted the fire alarm across the hall.
Henry saw Alex heading towards the fire alarm and he knew what Alex was going to do. “Alex! Don’t do it,” shouted Henry.
But Alex pretended not to hear him. He reached up and pulled the alarm.
The noise in the hall was deafening. Mrs. Stoolpigeon stopped in her tracks and gathered up all of her students. She had a panicked look on her face.
“Come on children, stay together. Let’s go to the
nearest fire exit. Quickly and quietly please, follow me.” Mrs. Stoolpigeon wasn’t sure what was happening. “Rudy, please go get my attendance book.” She normally knew when there was going to be a fire drill and they certainly didn’t have one when the school was having an assembly. She thought there was definitely something wrong. Her voice sounded shaky as she tried to give instructions to her class. “This way, children, there’s nothing to be worried about. This is just a fire drill.”
“Fibber,” Alex thought to himself, following close behind Henry. He felt a little bad when he saw little kindergarteners plugging their ears with looks of panic on their faces. However, he couldn’t help but grin knowing he didn’t have to go to the assembly.
As they made their way outside, it started to rain. The students were told to line up behind their teacher on the playground. The sound of the alarm could still be
heard inside the school, but was gradually drowned out by the loud raindrops hitting the blacktop. The teachers did not look impressed. Each of them stood in the front of their class with their attendance book making sure all of their students were present. Everyone was soaking wet. Thunder could be heard in the distance as the rain pelted down even harder. It felt like little pebbles bouncing off their heads.
“Alex, what did you do that for?” asked Henry when Mrs. Stoolpigeon finally turned away.
“What?” replied Alex. His ears were still ringing. “I can’t hear you.”
“Why did you start the fire alarm?” “What are you talking about? I didn’t do
anything.” Alex did not want the other kids to hear him, especially Mrs. Stoolpigeon. The rain began soaking through Alex’s shirt.
Everyone was shivering. Mrs. Stoolpigeon held up her attendance with a green label, indicating to the principal that she had all of her students.
“Henry, please don’t say anything. I don’t want to get in trouble.”
“But why did you pull the fire alarm? I don’t understand,” asked Henry.
“I can’t tell you. Just promise you won’t say anything.”
“Okay,” replied Henry, “I promise.” Just then, Alex felt a tap on his
shoulder. “Remember me?” It was Damian
Dermite.

Ottawa winter utility aid returns for those in needThe Herald Staff
Ottawa residents who qualify for assistance could receive some help covering their electric bills this winter. The City of Ottawa is ac-cepting applications for its Winter Warmth Assistance program until Dec. 2, city officials said. The city’s winter assis-tance program is intended to provide assistance to qualified applicants for electric utility use during December, January, Feb-ruary and March, the news release said. Winter assis-tance will be provided for up to 50 percent of electric charges only, not to exceed $75 per billing cycle, the re-lease said. The program assisted about 120 utility customers last year, according to city figures. To qualify, the applicant must be receiving Social Security or Veteran of the Armed Services benefits, the release said. A letter dated September or later for the current year must be provided to the City of Ottawa to verify such ben-efits, city officials said. The applicant also must provide current proof of re-ceiving Supplemental Nu-trition Assistance Program (SNAP), Kansas Food As-sistance Program benefits or must meet a qualifica-tion process with East Cen-tral Kansas Economic Op-portunity Corp. (ECKAN), 1320 S. Ash St., Ottawa, ac-cording to the release. The combined gross household income, before deductions, of all persons living at the address “may
not exceed 130 percent of the federal poverty level guidelines,” the release said. The applicant’s address on file with the State of Kansas Food Assistance Program must match the utility service address, and the service address for which winter assistance is being made must be in the name of the applicant, ac-cording to city guidelines. Utility customers who have previously failed to make timely payments of utility bills or who currently have
outstanding bills might not qualify for assistance, city officials said. Applicants will be en-couraged to apply for the Low Income Energy As-sistance Program through the Kansas Department of Children and Families, the release said, at http://www.dcf.ks.gov/services/ees/Pages/Energy/EnergyAs-sistance.aspx or by calling (800) 432-0043. For more information about the city’s Winter Warmth Assistance pro-gram, call (785) 229-7279.

“The couple of times I had prayed in the past, it had worked out in the long run. So I decided to give God this one chance at helping me. I said, ‘God, this is the only shot you get. I am pretty thick-headed, so you need to show me in an amazing way that you want me to be your follower.’” Scrutchfield went into the church that day, and the pastor started telling a story about a man he knew who was at the end of his rope and had found himself in a church parking lot. “[The pastor] started re-peating phrases that I had just prayed in the parking lot,” he said. “I couldn’t be-lieve it. That was the sign I needed. I raised my hand and surrendered [to God] that day.” Just one month earlier, Scrutchfield had surren-dered to Ottawa police, who had come to his house to take him back to the po-lice department for ques-tioning in connection with an alleged sexual assault against a then-4-year-old girl sometime between March and May 2011 at Yvonne Scrutchfield Day Care Home, 607 N. Cedar St., an Ottawa day care busi-ness run by his wife, which was closed by the state be-cause of the allegations. “I didn’t understand why this was happening, because I hadn’t done any-thing wrong,” Scrutchfield said. Scrutchfield, now 29, told police detectives dur-ing a nearly five-hour in-terrogation that he could not provide them with details about the alleged assault because the inci-dent never happened. The interview started about 8 p.m. May 26 and ended about 1 a.m. May 27. The Douglas County Dis-trict Attorney’s Office filed charges against Scrutch-field in June 2011 and was handling the case because
of Scrutchfield’s previous employment with Franklin County, where he worked as a computer support spe-cialist. He spent five days in the Franklin County Adult Detention Center, 305 S. Main St., before he was able to bond out, thanks to some friends. “My bond was set at $100,000, which would mean coming up with $10,000, and we only had something like $1,500 in the bank,” Scrutchfield said. Scrutchfield said his wife started a Facebook page that generated an enormous amount of sup-port for him. “You find out who your friends are when something like this happens — they wrote some incredibly nice things about me,” he said. A member of the local Elks Lodge, Scrutchfield said three of his friends at the lodge stepped forward to cosign on the bond to get him out of jail through a helpful bail bondsman. “It was a miracle that I got out of jail,” he said. “I never would have found God if I would have re-mained in jail.” To pass the time while he was in jail for five days before he bonded out, Scrutchfield read books, he said. “A guard offered me a Bible to read, and I told him, ‘No thanks, that’s not my bag of chips.’ I think that was God’s first at-tempt to reach out to me.’” The second miracle that occurred, Scrutchfield said, was John Boyd, Otta-wa defense attorney, being named his court-appointed attorney. The two had spo-ken while Scrutchfield was in jail, and Boyd asked the judge to be appointed to the case, Scrutchfield said. “John did an amazing job,” Scrutchfield said. “He put in so much work on this case — he saved my life.” The months leading up to the trial were hard on his family, Scrutchfield said.
The Scrutchfields have four children from previous mar-riages, Yvonne with three children and Scrutchfield with one son, Jeremiah, who would turn 12 years old when the trial was origi-nally to begin in December 2012, Scrutchfield said. “About a month before the trial was to initially start on Dec. 4, a student had read an article in the newspaper about it and some school boys started barraging Jeremiah about it,” Scrutchfield said. “Jer-emiah came home and told me, ‘I know what’s going on.’ We talked about it for a couple of hours. He said, ‘I don’t want to lose you — you’re my best friend.’ I told him I didn’t want to lose him either.” Scrutchfield faced life terms on three charges con-nected with the incident, with no possibility of parole for 25 years on each charge. So when prosecutors of-fered Scrutchfield a plea bargain to serve 10 years in state prison, he said he gave it some thought. “I thought if I get out in 10 years, I could see my son graduate from high school,” Scrutchfield said. “We prayed about it, and I decided that God did not want me to take the plea deal.” Scrutchfield, who has maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal, said he decided he wanted to fight it in court. After an eight-day trial and nearly 24 hours of de-liberations, the jury in-formed District Judge Eric Godderz March 8 that it had reached a verdict on two of the counts but was dead-locked on the other two counts. The jurors found Scrutchfield not guilty of rape and lewd and lascivi-ous behavior in connection with an alleged sexual as-sault. But the jury of six men and six women could not reach a verdict on the other two charges — aggra-vated indecent liberties
with a child and aggravat-ed criminal sodomy. Jurors had voted 11-1 for acquittal on those two charges. Scrutchfield could have been retried on those two counts if prosecutors sought a new trial. But Scrutchfield could not be retried on the rape and lewd and lascivious be-havior charges. About a month after the first trial, prosecutors came back with another plea offer — this time for a sentence of four months in jail, with no mandatory registration as a sex offender. Scrutchfield didn’t even need to sleep on the plea offer, he said. “It only took me a few minutes to quash that of-fer,” he said. The Douglas County prosecutors said they planned to retry Scrutch-field on both charges, but later dismissed the charg-es just days before he was set for retrial in August. The court recently ex-punged all the charges in the case from Scrutch-field’s record. The alleged victim’s mother had filed a civil suit against the Scrutchfield in late March, seeking $3.5 million in damages. The civil suit also has been dropped.
Judge Godderz dismissed the civil suit Oct. 30, ac-cording to court records. Scrutchfield holds no animosity against the po-lice, prosecutors, the al-leged victim or her fam-ily, he said, nor against the county after losing his job. “I think I’d like to get back into IT, but I would have to brush up on my skills after almost three years out of the game,” Scrutchfield said. “I would like to try to provide a solid income for my family again. Now that my case has been cleared, Yvonne and I have talked about a mission trip or two [through the church] that might be in our fu-ture.” Scrutchfield now runs the multimedia presenta-tion for the Life Church’s services in Ottawa, which
are conducted at Ottawa Middle School, 1230 S. Ash St., he said. “I have talked with a lot of people who have said they are so sorry I had to go through this and things like that,” Scrutchfield said. “Yes, it was pretty bad in beginning when it all happened, and their were some dark times along the way. But a lot of good has come out of this. My wife and I are closer together in our relationship. It brought us closer together as a fam-ily — we became a Chris-tian family. “I feel like now is the time in my life to continue to be who and what God has designed me to be,” he said. “My life is forev-er changed. But it’s been changed for the better, ac-tually.”

Dear Heloise: I re-cently badly burned my fingers while baking cookies because I failed to notice that my hot pad had gotten damp in the process of washing and reusing the cookie sheets. I knew that a damp hot pad or kitchen towel would allow you to be burned, but I was working too quickly that day to notice. Later, when explain-ing to my friends and family how the burn hap-pened, I was surprised to hear that some of them didn’t know you could be burned by using a damp pad to pick up something very hot. The extreme heat turns the moisture immediately to steam, and the burn can be quite bad. Please let readers know to watch out for this and never use a damp pad or towel to pick up anything really hot. — Bonnie P. in Houston
Ouch. But in truth, I’ve done the same thing. Once learned, never again. — Heloise
Dear Heloise: To al-ways have fresh avocados on hand, I peel the avo-cados, cut them in half and remove the seed. I put the avocado halves in a vacuum-sealed bag and place in the freezer. When I want an avocado, I simply open the bag and take out what I want. I reseal the avocado in the vacuum bag and return to the freezer. They thaw quickly and taste fresh. — Lynda in Amarillo, Texas
For those readers who do not own a vacuum sealer, after removing
the seed, press plastic wrap against the avocado flesh. Put the seed back in (to keep the avocado flesh from getting mushy) on top of the plastic and place the entire half, seed included, in a freezer zip-top bag, Store avocado in the refrigera-tor or the freezer until needed. — Heloise P.S.: You may want to “double-bag” the avocado just to be safe.
Dear Heloise: I know people put seasonings or cheese on popcorn. Not being a huge popcorn fan, I have yet to try it. My daughter puts dry ranch dressing on popcorn for her kids. Needless to say, the family insisted I try it. It’s delicious. I thought it would make an excel-lent hint, since I would have never thought of it. — D.H. in New Jersey
Dear Heloise: I read your column in the Temple (Texas) Daily Telegram. My hint is when you get ready to bake and the butter is in the freezer or refrigerator, just grab the cheese grater and grate it. Now, I never soften the butter before baking. — Virginia D., Moody, Texas
Dear Heloise: I was baking a cake and found a simple way to check to
see if the cake was done. Instead of a toothpick, I wanted something long enough so I wouldn’t burn myself and could check without having to get the cake out of the oven. I used a piece of raw spaghetti. — T.A., via email.
Dear Heloise: I buy shampoo, conditioner, soap and toothpaste in bulk. With a marker, I always label the bottles before putting them away. For example, if I buy a package of five bottles, I label the first one “one out of five” and so on. When I do this, I don’t have to worry about buying too much or when I will need to buy more. — A Reader, via email
A very good “inven-tory” system indeed, and one that will help save you money. — Heloise
Dear Heloise: I moved into a new house a few years ago. Since I have vaulted ceilings, my kitchen cabinets do not have a soffit over them. I put some cute decorations on top of the cabinets. Several months later, I got up there to clean and was amazed at how dirty it was. I cleaned like crazy, then put waxed paper on top of the cabinets and put my decorations back. Now when I have to clean, it’s just the decora-tions. I pull off the old, dirty waxed paper and stretch out a new layer. — Nanci C. in Texas
Have you been in my kitchen? I, too, got up there and went “yuck” — a lot of dust and gunk. — Heloise
Dear Annie: When I mar-ried my husband, he was divorced with a college- aged daughter. For some reason or other, she did not complete her degree. After college, “Con-nie” got a job and her own apartment. She became pregnant by a co-worker and had a son. Her dad and I were very disap-pointed. Later, Connie moved to another state and had two more chil-dren with the same man, but no marriage. Her dad and I supported her and paid her rent whenever she needed it. He advised her on the difficulties and disadvantages of raising children without marriage, but she didn’t listen. She moved back home three years before her father died. Her mother died two years later. My 57-year-old step-daughter now lives in her mother’s house. Connie is on dialysis and lives on her disability income. I cook, clean and take her to the doctor. I also help with the bills. The problem is, I am now 70 and ready to retire and return to my home-town to spend time with my immediate family. My widowed sister has invited me to live with her. How long am I obligated to sup-port Connie physically and financially? Should I re-main here and put my life on hold? — Had Enough
Dear Had Enough: That’s up to you. You are the only parent Connie has, and you’ve stayed relatively close to her through the years. Some parents would sacrifice their personal happiness to care for a child, but oth-ers reach the point where they become resentful and
feel taken advantage of. Can Connie manage with-out you? Could you look into available resources in her area for home health care, housekeeping and cooking, and perhaps contribute to the cost? Her children are adults now. It’s time they took over the responsibilities you’ve been handling. Talk to them.
Dear Annie: I have been going to the same hairdresser for the past 12 years. Lately, I have received some pretty bad haircuts, and I’ve noticed that the salon is not as clean as it used to be. There is often hair from previous customers on the chair and the floor. I feel a strong connec-tion to my hairdresser, and we’ve developed a friend-ship over the years, but I just can’t take another bad hairdo. I’m thinking of going somewhere else, but I don’t know how to do it. Should I just stop calling for appointments, or must I “break up” with her di-rectly? — Can Hairy Leave Sally?
Dear Hairy: After 12 years, your hairdresser deserves to know why you aren’t returning. Is it pos-sible the salon is having fi-nancial difficulties? Might she be ill and unable to do the work she used to?
Inquire about her well-being, and then tell her what’s been bothering you. Give her the opportunity to improve the situation before telling her you feel it is necessary to take your business elsewhere.
Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Dog-Free Wedding,” whose relative wants to bring her self-trained, poorly behaved “service” dog to the wed-ding. I have had a seeing-eye dog for 30 years. My dogs are trained at The Seeing Eye in Morristown, N.J. Those of us who use legiti-mate service dogs, guide dogs, hearing or other therapy dogs are confront-ing a huge issue: people who train their own dogs and those who get service dog equipment off of the Internet. They dress up their pets as service dogs and bring them into public places. “Dog-Free” has every right to refuse this per-son and her ill-behaved dog who was not profes-sionally trained. If this relative has a legitimate disability and needs a dog, she should investigate the proper channels. Other-wise, she is jeopardizing the rights and privileges for which those of us with legitimately trained dogs have fought for more than 80 years. — New Germany, Nova Scotia

Bethlehem Project: More to Christmas than gifts and Santa ClausBy ABBY ECKELHerald Staff Writer
A lot of man hours go into making the Bethlehem Project as realistic as possible, Rhoda Martin, an organizer of the event, said. The Bethlehem Project has been re-enacting the story of Jesus’ birth for more than five years, Martin said. “It takes the person that comes to the program, which is free, and walks them through [the time and place of Biblical Bethlehem],” she said. “They go through the tax collectors, to the market place, to the rabbis, to the shepherds and angels, and then to the actual inn and the stable. Then it also takes them past that where the wise men were searching for the inn
and the star, and then at the end of the story it has the fact that he rose from the grave.” The project’s walking tour is scheduled for three nights from 5:45 p.m. to 9 p.m., Dec. 13-15 at the Sylvester Ranch, 1792 Kingman Road, Ottawa, Martin said. The Ottawa Bible Church organizes the event together, she added. “All of the parts are portrayed by volun-teer people, and there’s no monies collect-ed,” she said. “Afterward, there is cookies and hot cocoa for everyone and if they want to give a donation toward Hope House, we collect for that, but none goes to the church organization. We just feel like it’s a mission service to be able to get the word out about what Christmas is all about.”
The Ottawa Bible Church, 1623 S. Poplar St., Ottawa, has been organizing the event since a couple from western Kansas joined the church and brought the Bethlehem Project with them, Martin said. “They started this out and we’ve just continued it since,” she said. “We have some singing groups that come. We also have vendors in the market place and they actually sell pottery, woven items or carved wood items, and we have live animals.” The project has evolved through the years, she said, with new elements added nearly every year. “The first year we put it on, I don’t think we had the empty tomb,” Martin said. “We added that because we felt like it was an important part, because we not only cel-
ebrate the birth, but that He is living and that was added to tell the rest of the story.” Having live people portraying the dif-ferent characters along the road leading to the birth of Jesus is important in convey-ing the true message of Christmas, Martin said. “I think it really touches the children that are brought especially,” she said. “The adults that have come through have said ‘Don’t stop doing this.’ It’s blessed them so much because we got away from the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas gets lost in presents and Santa Claus and other things ... We lose the birth of the sav-ior, so I think the live people kind of make you realize that it’s a reality.” Grace Community Church, 310 E. Eighth
St., Overbrook, is set to put on a similar event. The Road to Bethlehem runs 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 13 and from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 14-15 at Grace Community Church. The event includes guided tours through the Road to Bethlehem that features tax collectors, street vendors and the inn, Lo-retta Harder, public relations representa-tive for The Road to Bethlehem, said. “At the end is the birth of Jesus Christ and then everyone can go in and have cookies and coffee,” she said. “Everyone’s in costume and character and you can ask them questions about what happened during the walk to Bethlehem. Everyone is interactive.”
Last year was the first time Grace Com-munity Church organized The Road to Bethlehem, Harder said, and it drew more than 700 people. The idea for the re-enact-ment came to light when Ray Shumate, a member of the church and re-enactment coordinator for Ottawa’s Veterans Day cel-ebration, wanted to put it together, Harder added. “This was [Shumate’s] dream to see this come true, and everybody has pitched in and enjoyed doing it,” she said. The Road to Bethlehem features a 45-minute guided tour, live animals, ac-tion-packed family fun and refreshments at the end, Harder said. Rides through the tour also are available for those with dis-abilities or who have difficulty walking.

DAUGHTERS OF THE
AMERICANREVOLUTION
General Edward Hand Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolu-tion (DAR), met 9:30 a.m. Nov. 2 at Vintage Park in Ottawa. Luanne Freund, director, was honored for hosting the chapter. Re-gent Elaine Oakleaf pre-sented Freund with a new American flag. The meet-ing was called to order as Regent Elaine led the DAR Ritual and librarian Nancy Machnicki led the Pledge of Allegiance, the American’s Creed and the Preamble to the Constitu-tion. Acting Chaplain Em-ily Kirkpatrick presented a spiritual moment de-scribing the signing of the Armistice Nov. 11, 1918. Emily included an ex-cerpt from her father’s di-ary, written Nov. 11, 1918, while he was in France. The entire group sang the first verse of the National Anthem, accompanied by Emily on the keyboard. In recognition of the seven military veterans who reside at Vintage Park, Elaine and Emily presented a military or-nament and certificate to each veteran. Another veteran, John Machnicki, Nancy’s husband, was rec-ognized and welcomed as a guest. David Paddock, volunteer photographer of military grave sites and member of the Franklin County Historical Society, was introduced as a guest and thanked for docu-menting military graves in Franklin County. The chapter used his docu-mentation to decorate those graves in Highland Cemetery with red, white and blue floral tributes following the meeting. John Nichols, member of Franklin County Histori-cal Society and Civil War re-enactor, presented a fascinating program con-cerning his Union uni-form, his equipment and weapons. He described several Civil War battles and the methods used to present re-enactments. After this presentation, all present were treated to cookies and coffee. The business meeting began with the introduc-tion of Lynn Firestone, Garnett, as a prospective member. Registrar Cla-rice Knight presented the
president general’s month-ly message. Regent Elaine distributed magnets to members as reminders of women’s issues. Last meeting’s emailed min-utes were approved with one correction. Regent Elaine requested a list-ing of members and their children who were active military or veterans. Vol-unteers to participate in the Armistice/Veterans Day parade Nov. 9 were re-quested. Treasurer Barba-ra Dew presented the trea-surer’s October report; Nancy moved to approve, Clarice seconded and the report was approved. Native American Heri-tage report was given by vice regent Dee Ellen Kruzel, who described a Haskell University bas-ketball game where her granddaughter, Sarah Tah, was a dancer. Dee El-len suggested the chapter should attend a basketball game between Haskell and Bacone College, another DAR-supported school. Patricia McFarland gave a conservation report, in-cluding four tips, such as unplugging unused appli-ances, using energy-sav-ing light bulbs, reducing hot water usage with short showers and low bath lev-els and turning off tap wa-ter while brushing one’s teeth. Emily Kirkpatrick com-memorated the 100th an-niversary of the National Park Service by present-ing a puzzle with clues that resulted in Yellow-stone Park as the answer. Regent Elaine mentioned an Outstanding American History Teacher Contest entry. Clarice noted that anyone due to renew the American Spirit maga-zine should contact her. Chapter librarian Nancy asked if she could choose another book to donate to the state society. Re-gent Elaine reported four chapter members attend-ed the Southeast District meeting Oct. 26 and after three members shopped at Russell Stover Candy Store. On their way back, they visited with Junior Member Cara Polsley and gave her chocolates. They reported that Cara is in good spirits although still confined to a wheelchair. In new business, del-egates and alternates for the Kansas State DAR Conference were select-ed. Delegates are Elaine
Oakleaf, Dee Ellen Kru-zel and Clarice Knight. Alternates are Patricia McFarland, Barbara Dew, Phyllis Krebs, Betty Wit-tmeyer, Emily Kirkpatrick and Barbara Netherland. New junior pages are the three granddaughters of Dee Ellen. Barbara Dew moved and Dee Ellen seconded that Barbara and Deborah Barker, director, Franklin County Historical Society, may apply for a special project grant. The mo-tion was approved. Bar-bara also mentioned that Etta Eubanks intends to join the chapter as an as-sociate member and pro-spective member Linda Reed is still researching her membership. Nancy and Dee Ellen announced that each had presented a supplemental to NS-DAR for approval. It was announced that 65-year member, Marcella Barnes Davis, recently passed away. The club’s next meeting will be 12:15 p.m. Dec. 14 at Sunflower Plaza. Mem-ber will celebrate Christ-mas and enjoy a catered lunch. The meeting was adjourned at 11:15 a.m. Several members lunched at Keim Bakery before placing floral trib-utes at veterans’ grave sites in Highland Cem-etery. The graves visited were a WWI veteran, Gro-ver C. Backus; five WWII veterans, William A. Liv-ingston, Charles Powell Moore, Jack Winton Ter-rill, Bernard A. Smith and Carroll R. Kirkpatrick; four Vietnam veterans, Stephen L. Smith, Roger Milbern, Wayne Allen Hoopes and Lawrence D. Burgess; and one Iraq vet-eran, Christopher B. Was-ser.

Two new patrol offi-cers for the Ottawa Police Department were among 47 students altogether who graduated from the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center (KLETC) Oct. 4. Chad Berg and Casey Gillmore were the area’s graduates. The new officers were members of the 225th basic training class at the center. Located one mile west and one mile south of Yoder, near Hutchinson, the center is
a division of University of Kansas Continuing Edu-cation. The graduates, who began their training June 24, represented 33 mu-nicipal, county and state law enforcement agencies from across Kansas. Graduates receive certificates of course completion from KLETC and Kansas law enforce-ment certification from the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Stan-dards and Training, the state’s law enforcement licensing authority. The
training course fulfills the state requirement for law enforcement training. Classroom lectures and hands-on applications help train officers to solve the increasingly complex problems they face in the line of duty. Established by the Kansas Legislature in 1968, the center trains the majority of munici-pal, county and state law enforcement officers in Kansas and oversees the training of the remaining officers at seven autho-rized and certified acad-
emy programs operated by local law enforcement agencies and the Kansas Highway Patrol. About 300 officers enroll annually in the 14-week basic training pro-gram. The center offered continuing education and specialized training to as many as 5,600 Kansas officers each year. Fund-ing for the training center is generated from court docket fees from munici-pal and state courts. No funds from the state’s general revenue are used to operate the center.

HOUSTON, OTTAWA
Courtney Houston, a junior at Ottawa High School, was one of 10 singers selected to par-ticipate in the Lyric Op-era of Kansas City’s Gin-ger Frost High School Honors Artists program. She is currently study-ing vocal music with Dr Slyvia Stoner-Hawkins, Director of Opera at Washburn University. Houston is a mem-ber of the Ottawa High School Chamber Choir, where she sings soprano and plays French horn for the Ottawa High School Band. Last spring, she represented OHS at the State Music Festival, where she received a 1 rating in her vocal solo and her violin solo. She also received a 2 rating for her French horn solo.
Through the Ginger Frost High School Hon-ors Artists program, the Lyric Opera provides op-era instruction for high school students chosen to audition by their vocal music teachers. These gifted students receive training in Italian, Ger-man, French and English diction, singing tech-nique, acting and audi-tion and stage etiquette. These students also will participate in Master Classes with professional opera singers, including Lyric Opera of Kansas City’s Maestro. Houston recently participated in a NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing) au-dition at Emporia State University. She is the daughter of Debra Cooper and Jim Houston.
