Dry weather causes stress Dry weather is grasping tight on Kansans, while currently more than 98 percent of Kansas is under extremely dry or drought-like conditions. Around the state, families and farmers are feeling the effects from their wallets to the dinner table. “We are drought stressed,” said a local Kansas farmer. The current dry conditions are concerning farmers around the area. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, only 13 percent of wheat is in good to excellent condition. Poor wheat productions will affect families globally as Kansas, the breadbasket of the world, produces one fifth of all wheat grown in the United States. For two consecutive years, heavy spring rain has pulled the protein levels of the wheat crop down which has led to a decrease in the acres planted. Companies like Campbell’s soup is expected to raise their prices by 2 to 3 percent during 2018. This could very well be because of the rapid decline in wheat prices and lack of protein found in the wheat. “It is financially hard on everyone,” said a local lifetime farmer. The dry conditions are expected to continue to take a toll on crops, livestock and families throughout the spring and summer. Dry weather is also causing the concern for more wildfires across areas of Kansas. Last month, high winds and dry ground burned parts of Nebraska and Kansas (Continued on page 35)
Did you know that a PTO shaft revolving at 1000 rpm revolves 16 times in less than a second? It’s little wonder that driveline entanglement nearly always results in devastating injury or death. Missing or damaged shielding is the main reason for PTO entanglement. All shielding components must be correctly installed and properly maintained to prevent injury in case of accidental contact. Operator awareness and constant vigilance are also crucial if PTO accidents are to be avoided. Clear safety rules must be established for everyone who works with farm machinery. Making repairs while equipment is operating, stepping over or onto revolving shafts, and wearing loose or frayed clothing are actions that set the stage for entanglement.
Treat this old world right
By John Schlageck, Kansas Farm Bureau
When it comes to protecting the land and improving the environment, farmers continue to lead the way and do their part. As this nation celebrates Earth Day April 22, farmers and ranchers remain committed to protecting the environment using modern conservation and tillage practices. Farmers and ranchers will tell you their fondest wish remains to pass their land on to their children. They work years, often a lifetime, to leave a legacy of good land stewardship. Most farmers learned about conservation and respect for the land from their parents. So, it comes as no surprise Kansas farmers and their counterparts across the country continue to adjust accepted practices to meet their individual cropping conditions. Practices can vary from farm to farm and even field to field. During the last 30-plus years, most Kansas agricultural producers now use some form of minimum tillage to further conserve the soil. Like compost in a garden, these conservation tillage practices ensure ground cover by leaving stalk residues on the surface, provide stored fertility for future crops while protecting the soil against erosion and loss of nutrients. These cultivation practices sustain and improve the soil’s productive capacity. Today, approximately 76 million acres of U.S. crop acres utilize some form of conservation tillage. An additional 100 million acres of land throughout the United States incorporates no-till practices for all crops. That means approximately 65 percent of U.S. cropland incorporate either no-till or minimum-tillage conservation practices. In Kansas thousands of ponds, thousands of miles of terraces and thousands of acres of grassed waterways help control soil erosion. Farmers have also planted thousands of acres of trees.

The Covered Dish: Cheater’s Peach Cobbler
Before diving into the April 16th column I’d like to re-visit the April 9th column featuring a new healthy avocado dip. This past week I found myself purchasing packages of the pre-packaged avocado dips/spreads. These can be found at many grocery stores and large retail/grocery stores. As I indicated last week, our son, Phillip, has found a real connection to avocado spreads of all kinds. As I cruised through the pre-made section at the local Wally World I had a little epiphany. When I was growing up the ‘big’ grocery store trip was made only every two weeks. We didn’t run back to the store in between because that was costly. At times the closest grocery store was Quincy, IL. If you wanted an avocado before the next
grocery run it just didn’t happen. The pre-made packaging can come in handy for those living in areas quite a distance from town. We use the small six packs of guacamole stirred into salad dressings and sauces. Use the mixes for wraps, salads and appetizers. I realize times have changed but with our busy lifestyles this is truly a handy product to keep on hand. Some of you are asking yourselves, ‘Doesn’t this lady use fresh avocados?’ Well, of course; and they’re by far the best. There are however times for the pre-packaged approach. The quick fix method will be great inside a lunchbox or on a picnic. Use them in the backpack for a high mountain hike. Or in the RV for the next weekend getaway.
The Covered Dish By Debbie Dance-Uhrig
Gear change to peach cobbler. There are so many different styles and types of fruit cobblers, where do we begin! The Cheater’s Peach Cobbler is not only a quick recipe, it’s also delicious. There’s also many opportunities to switch out the type of fruit implemented along with the flavor of cake mix. I prepared this dish the first time for one of our ‘back-porch’ events at Silver Dollar City. The feedback was overwhelming with guests requesting

3 Savvy Ways to Simplify Breakfast (Family Features) While it is widely known that starting your day with a balanced, nutritious breakfast can have a positive impact on overall health, it may be difficult for some people to make it a priority. Whether you generally run low on time in the mornings or have little ones to keep on track before heading out the door, it simply isn’t always an option to piece together a grandiose morning meal. Rather than overhauling your lifestyle, consider some simpler ways to incorporate breakfast into your daily routine. These tips can help you start the day strong – and on time – without sacrificing the day’s first meal. Prep the Night Before Not everyone is fortunate enough to have ample time in the morning to prepare
what some studies consider to be the most important meal of the day. If you’re typically short on time before heading out the door, prepare breakfast the night before so you can ensure you’re starting each day with proper fuel and nutrition. Even if it’s as simple as setting out a bowl, spoon and your favorite cereal before you go to bed, you can set yourself up to shave a few minutes off your morning routine. Take It To-Go If your kids are a handful or that snooze button is just too easy to reach each morning, sitting down at the table – even for a quick breakfast – might be out of the question. Preparing in advance by packing a to-go container with your favorite morning foods can be a simple solution to keep everyone happy without adding more
strain to the day. Keep It Simple Breakfast doesn’t have to be elaborate to get your day going in the right direction. Simple options like avocado toast take little time to create yet can go a long way toward adding nutrients in the morning. For a different spin on traditional avocado toast, combine it with a unique taste like Sabra Classic Hummus, which can help you add fiber and protein before the day truly begins. Even if you aren’t an avocado person, just by swapping out the

Cheater’s Peach Cobbler Butter Pecan or regular Butter Cake mix 1/2 cup chopped pecans for bottom 1/2 cup brown sugar 28-29 ounce can heavy syrup sliced peaches
Top 3/4 cup melted butter 1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Pour can of peaches across the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 baking pan. Evenly sprinkle down the pecans and brown sugar over the peaches. Over the fruit sprinkle the cake mix, again spreading evenly. For the top of the cobbler melt the butter and stir in the maple flavoring. Drizzle this across the cake mix as equally distributed as possible. Finish with the last 1/2 cup chopped pecans over the top. Place in a 350 degree oven and bake until the top is golden brown. Outer rim of cobbler should also be boiling. Plan on this serving 8-10 persons not the traditional 12 servings from a 9 x 13 baking pan. If you’re from the country you’ll want a bit of cream over your cobbler. Vanilla or cinnamon ice cream or whipped cream are also good additions. When this was done baking it seemed very loosey goosey and I worried that it wouldn’t set up. After cooling it was just fine. I also could not get any butter pecan cake mixes when I first created this on September 6, 2014. The alternative was a regular butter cake mix. Fresh peaches would be a super alternative, you would just have to sweeten them and maybe add a bit of cinnamon. You’ll also need about a cups worth of liquid for the bottom. This could be made with peach or apricot nectar and a bit of cornstarch.

Laura’s Amazing Electric Pressure Cooker Key Lime Cheesecake Crust 1 c graham cracker crumbs
3 Tbs. butter, melted
Cheesecake 16 oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature 2 tsp. all-purpose flour ½ c granulated sugar 2 tsp. Vain Foods Vanilla, we used Tahitian Vanilla, Extracted in Cane Rum
Zest of 1 lime 2 Eggs 1 egg yolk 2 Tbs. heavy whipping cream 3 Tbs. key lime juice, freshly squeezed, OR Nellie and Joe’s Famous Key West Lime Juice (available from your grocer)
Topping: ¾ c heavy whipping cream 2 Tbs. granulated sugar
Zest of 1 lime 10 very thin lime half slices
Create the Crust Spray a 6” springform pan with non-stick spray and set aside. In a small bowl combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter and stir together with a fork. Press firmly into the bottom of the sprayed springform pan, then set aside. Create Cheesecake Filling With an electric mixer, beat together: softened cream cheese, flour, sugar, vanilla and lime zest, scraping sides and bottom of bowl to ensure all ingredients are mixed together well. Add eggs one at a time and then egg yolk; beat until just combined. Mix in key lime juice and whipping cream, beating until just combined; pour over prepared crust in spring form pan. Gently tap pan on countertop a few times to remove any large air bubbles that may be in filling. Cook Cheesecake in EPC Add 1 1/2 cups water to electric pressure cooker (EPC) pot, then place trivet in bottom of pot. Place a dry paper towel over the top of the springform pan; place a sheet of aluminum foil on top of paper towel, then wrap pan tightly with aluminum foil. Using a foil sling, lower wrapped cheesecake pan into EPC pot. Lock lid in place and choose High Pressure setting for 37 minutes. When EPC timer sounds, use a natural pressure release for 18 minutes, then a quick release to remove any remaining pressure from EPC. Using foil sling, carefully lift cheesecake from EPC pot to a wire cooling rack; carefully remove foil and paper towel, then carefully run a sharp paring knife around the perimeter of the cheesecake, loosening it from the edge of the pan. Let cheesecake cool for 30 minutes, then release and remove the springform pan edge. Cover cheesecake and refrigerate 6-8 hours, or overnight. Create the Topping Using a large spatula, lift cheesecake from springform pan bottom and place onto a serving platter. In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat whipping cream and sugar until stiff; fold in the zest of ½ of a lime. Place whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip. Pipe whipped topping onto top of cheesecake as desired, then zest remaining half of lime over the top of the whipped cream and center of cheesecake. Place lime slice halves around perimeter of cheesecake by sliding gently into whipped cream, as desired. Refrigerate cheesecake (covered) until ready to serve. Enjoy!

Franching: Birthday time
Tammie Hoeme Layout Editor
This week we celebrated Allie’s birthday. She turned 12 years old. When she was born, we brought her home with the air conditioner on in the car. On her first birthday it snowed and melted by the afternoon. Most of the time we are past the cold weather after her birthday, but that has not held true for this year. Allie enjoyed getting a unicorn balloon bouquet and a new bike. I got her a few little mini ice cream cakes from Dairy Queen. She was surprised and didn’t know I had those hidden. I got them in Great Bend when Addie and I went for her orthodontist checkup. For her friend party they went to a movie and then ate at one of her favorite restaurants, McAlister’s in Wichita. I was a little concerned because there were not very many kid’s movies playing right now. Saturday, she wanted Pizza Taco’s, it had been a while, so we put in our order and finally the were done. On Sunday my parents took
her out to eat at one of the Mexican restaurants in Pratt. Of course, we hardly waited at all for our food there. Allie is pictured above with her cousin Kenzie. Our little piggys have made it through the cold weather at this point. They all just stayed huddled together to stay warm. The girls went out and added more hay to their little hut where they sleep. The horses huddled together and hid behind their hay bale to hide from the wind. Addie had a very windy track meet, but she was able to get her races ran. Thankfully the wind was not cold otherwise that would have turned into a miserable experience. She did run the mile in the rain last year. Several of Weston’s soccer games have been canceled, but hopefully he will get to play this week. Its been so long since he has played, I almost think he has forgot about the soccer games. I told Weston to pick up his toys yesterday, and he told me that he was weaning and could not put his gates away.

Nostalgia and Thoughts: Cold Easter Weather
By Sandra Pugh The temperature at 10:45 Easter morning north of Hutchinson was 27 degrees. Not surprising this early in April, I guess, but even later in the month it was a typical Easter morning. At least it seemed to be that way when I was growing up. My maternal grandmother, you have heard so much about, sewed all my dresses every year until she passed away when I was a sophomore. She spoiled me and my mother because when school or holidays came around Mom didn’t have to worry about looking for an outfit for me. Grandmother made most of my Easter dresses out of very lightweight fabric. I think her favorite to work with was sheer voile. It is lightweight and she usually bought it with a pattern on it. Most of the time it was a flower print. I never knew what color or style of dress I would receive each year but I was never disappointed. When she used the voile for an Easter dress for me it had to have a slip that would match one of the colors in the fabric. And of course when I was little each slip she made had to incorporate several layers of can-cans in colors that matched the dress. I have never figured out why she loved to work with that fabric because it just made more work for her to make my little dresses. But she also wore that fabric a lot herself, always with a darker slip to match under it. I can’t imagine working with that slinky soft fabric on an old treadle machine. When my little sister, the brat, came along Grandmother made her a dress when she made mine for Easter, along with a little coat and of course bought both us a hat to match the outfit and little fancy socks to wear with our black patent leather shoes. We were also given a cute pair of dressy gloves. We thought we were really
dressed to the nines when we were ready for church. I was not too happy about having to wear a matching dress with the brat, but didn’t have a choice. If I wanted a new dress for Easter we were going to be matching when we went to church. The only good thing; there was enough age difference that we were not in the same Sunday school class. So, not many people saw us together to realize we were dressed alike. I’m sure they would have thought it was cute to see us dressed alike from the head to toe. I wonder if Grandmother made my cous-
in’s dresses for Easter and if we would have been 6-8 little girls in the same outfit if we had been going to the same church. I hadn’t thought about that until now. Maybe I was the only one she sewed for…. and I should not ask and stir up that hornets nest. When she made me the voile dresses with the slips for Easter, and in case the weather was cold, she’d make a little coat out of a heavier material than the dress to go along with it. These little coats were always so cute and I loved them. My favorite of all the coats she made me was pink. I’m sure almost every
year I had to wear the coat to Sunday school because it was to cold to go with just the little voile dress. If I didn’t have to wear it for Easter because it wasn’t cold the coat was passed on to another little girl without me ever getting to wear it. It always made me mad when I had to wear the coat, which matched the dress, to Sunday school because my dress couldn’t be seen until I took the coat off. But my young mind didn’t take into account that it would be the only time I would get to wear it. I would outgrow it before it got cold again. This year was a normal
Easter with the cold weather and every one needed a jacket or coat. And the trees were not budding out and blooming so Easter was really early. When I was little I was going to wear my new Easter outfit Grand-
April 18, 2018 mother made even it was cold on Easter and I had to wear the matching coat. Kansas weather is always throwing us a curve with cold Easter weather. To contact Sandy:

Raising Foals Begins By Getting The Mare Bred, Often A Complex Ordeal New foals are showing up around barnyards making other horse owners think about getting their mare bred. For those considering raising foals, it’s important to better understand the mare during both normal and abnormal breeding cycles. Owners or handlers of breeding stallions are responsible to present the mare to the veterinarian, according to Dr. Michelle LeBlanc, renowned equine reproduction specialist. “The first examina-
tion is usually on the first or second day of heat,” LeBlanc said. “That typically consists of a rectal palpation, and I routinely do an ultrasound scan, possibly a vaginal speculum exam and a culture.” If there’s no discharge, and the vagina appears normal in the ultrasound scan, LeBlanc doesn’t always culture the mare. “At that time, you measure the size of the follicles to determine when it’s best to breed the mare,” LeBlanc
said. “If we’re talking about a breeding from April through June, mares are typically bred either the third or fourth day of heat.” Either at that point in time, or not until the next day, the veterinarian will give the mare a hormone shot. “Actually I prefer giving human chorionic gonadotropin,” LeBlanc said. “This is a hormone produced by women during pregnancy. It will artificially induce a mare’s follicle to ovulate 36 to 48 hours later.” Everything is timed so that the mare is bred prior to ovulation. Since the egg dies a few hours after ovulation, the goal is to have the semen in the uterus waiting for the egg. “If the mare is normal, I will ultrasound her again before breeding,” LeBlanc said.
“That’s to determine the size and texture of the follicle, and whether or not she’s ovulated. If she ovulated, we won’t breed her. “At the time the mare is bred, if by artificial insemination, we determine if the cervix is opening properly,” LeBlanc explained. An ultrasound will be performed on the mare again 24 hours post-breeding. “It’s very important to verify that the mare ovulated,” LeBlanc said. “If there’s free fluid in the uterus, it is inflamed and may be infected. You’ve got a big problem.” An ultrasound is performed on the mare again 14 to 16 days post-ovulation to check for a pregnancy. “With a mare you know is a problem, prior to breeding we would

Dr. Michelle LeBlanc, renowned equine reproduction specialist, said it’s important to understand the broodmare during all breeding cycles. perform a complete reproductive exam,” LeBlanc verified. “That would be a rectal palpation, an ultrasound, speculum exam, a digital exam of the cervix, and a culture. There would also be a cytology performed to study the cells.” A thorough physical exam would be done to determine the mare’s reproductive conformation. “Is the angle from the anus to the vulva horizontal? Is she pooling urine in the vagina?” the veterinarian would clarify. Additionally, LeBlanc would check to see if there were any there feces in the vagina? “Mares with poor reproductive conformation are very prone to contaminating themselves,” she explained. The most common problem LeBlanc finds that mares have during breeding is an inability to clear fluid from the uterus. This typically elates to poor reproductive conformation. “Problem mares often can’t clear their uterus quickly,” Dr. LeBlanc detailed. “Four to six hours after breeding, we lavage meaning wash the uterus and give a shot of the hormone oxytocin. “At 24 hours post-breeding, if the mare’s uterus still has fluid, defined as edema, I’ll lavage it again,” LeBlanc continued. “At this point, I might infuse antibiotics into the uterus.” “If we breed a mare two cycles and she
doesn’t get pregnant I start all over again,” LeBlanc said. “That includes a complete reproductive exam and also most likely a uterine biopsy.” “Several mare reproduction terms are important to known by those planning to raise foals,” the veterinarian insisted. Reproductive Cycle: The hormonal cycle in which a mare prepares her uterus for conception and produces an egg ready for fertilization. It usually lasts 21 days: five to seven days in heat (estrus), under the influence of estrogen; 14 to 17 days out of heat, under the influence of progesterone. Ovary: The female reproductive organ that produces eggs; a typical female has two. Follicle: The structure of the ovary where an individual egg develops. In a typical reproductive cycle, only one follicle on one ovary matures to produce an egg. Ovulate: When a follicle ruptures and releases a mature egg ready for fertilization; the rupture itself is an ovulation. Estrogen: The major reproductive hormone released by growing follicles on the ovaries; causes a mare to show heat. Progesterone: The major reproductive hormone produced by the corpus luteum, a structure that forms on the ovary where an ovulation occurred; it causes a mare to go out of heat.

The Meatless Wonder
Riding Hard By Lee Pitts “Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differed from your own. You may both be wrong.” Dandamis The biggest problem I had when leaving high school was that for four years the FFA had consumed my life and then, suddenly, I had nothing to hold my interest. Collegiate livestock judging filled that void. I liked the competitive nature of it and loved giving reasons. I was good at it, if I do say so myself. So much so that my grandpa thought I should be a lawyer arguing before the Supreme Court, but I objected and appealed his decision on grounds that I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life looking for loopholes. I also loved livestock judging because I got to go places I’d never been: Chicago, Fort Worth, Kansas City, San Francisco, Portland and Denver. It was because of all this traveling that I learned something important about myself: I hated big cities. I’ll never forget our flight home from Chicago because it was my first time on a 747 and because it was a Playboy Bunny flight where Playboy Bunnies served the first class flyers drinks and dinner. I kid you not. We got fogged out of L.A. and had to circle for a couple hours and while we waited drinks were on the house. Needless to say, things got a little rambunctious, and the Playboy Bunnies ended up being locked in the cabin with the pilots. I think the Bunnies got permanently grounded after that. One reason I liked giving reasons so much was I grew up in a house where “the views and opinions expressed were strictly those of management.” Judging was the first
time in my life I was allowed to express my opinion and the grownups had to listen and not interrupt. My coach, Bill Jacobs, was only ten years older than I was and our deep friendship was based largely on one thing: I taught him how to shoot pool. I had grown up shooting pool in my grandpa’s house and had become fairly proficient at it. One time on a judging team trip I introduced Bill to the game and he immediately became infatuated with it, so much so that if a student wanted
to reach him after class they knew where to find him: at the pool hall. In his career Bill judged all the major shows in America and even overseas. It was during a faddish phase where you could judge a class of animals with a tape measure. As a coach Bill was the kind of a man who let you say what you thought… as long as you agreed with him. One year, in preparation for a big contest, we were judging bulls and in one class there was a bull who had won all the western shows but I rolled “The Meatless Wonder” to
the bottom of the class because as far as I could tell, there wasn’t an ounce of meat on his long, tall frame. He was short an organic compound and had “no acetol”. (Sound it out.) I never bought into the “long and tall” fad, being of the opinion that you couldn’t eat all that empty space underneath an animal. Lo and behold “The Meatless Wonder” ended up in a judging class at the Cow Palace and I recognized him immediately. (I can’t remember people but I never forget an animal!) I knew they’d start the class with “The Meatless Won-
April 18, 2018 der” but I just couldn’t do it. I wanted to place him dead last but I had to think about the team so I placed him third and my score took a big hit. I ended up placing second in the contest and had I placed him first I would have won the whole thing, but I had my principles! I ended up with a 48 out of 50 on my reasons for the class so I could only assume the judge hearing my reasons kinda agreed with me. It’s been a source of enjoyment ever since knowing that “The Meatless Wonder’s” real name has never appeared in
any popular pedigree. He ended up at the butcher shop within two years, right where he belonged. I’m sure he yielded at least 20 pounds of extremely lean, tasteless hamburger and one very big pile of long, tall bones.. wwwLeePittsbooks.com

Farmers across the state have been known to leave patches of milo close to timber and other grassy cover so birds and other creatures can eat something when snow, ice and other bad weather hit. It’s also not uncommon to see a farmer with a cherry-red face and earflaps pulled snugly over his head, walking along a hedgerow with a five-gallon bucket of milo in each hand. No, he’s not out to feed a lost calf, but rather the quail, pheasant of some other hungry critter. Farmers and ranchers have a vested interest in protecting endangered species. More than 75 percent of species listed as endangered or threatened live on private lands. Kansas farmers utilize biotechnology on their farms. This benefits the environment by producing crops that protect themselves against insects and disease, requiring less tillage and less use of chemical weed control. Ag producers also produce biofuels that benefit the environment and promote energy security. Farm and ranch families are proud to live and grow in harmony with Mother Earth. They understand how important it is to protect and nurture this valuable resource. They take their stewardship of the land seriously. They’ve devoted their lives to safeguarding their farms and families while providing us with the safest, most abundant and affordable food in the world. John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas. Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas, his writing reflects a lifetime of experience, knowledge and passion.

Changing Weather Promises Moisture
“Four seasons all within two days.” Not quite, but that’s the way it seemed, perhaps shy of real hot summertime. From the 80s to freezing overnight with spring and fall temperatures intermingled within and around. One goes from not even a jacket, to a sweater with coat, soon long johns then back around again. Like has been often said, “If the Kansas weather doesn’t suit the fancy, just wait and it’ll change.” All professions have their downfall, but weather forecasters likely get more than their share of ridicule.
Interesting though tuning to a handful of different predictions, how varied they can be. Yet they are sometimes almost identical outlooks and still completely wrong. With hail one place, sun shining a mile south then raining cats and dogs nearby, how could anybody know? However, did appreciate one newsman attempting to keep listeners up on storm alerts. Two reports within 20 minutes changing from “quarter-size hail,” then “get inside a tornado has been sighted.” Parts of the Midwest experience flooding, blizzards, high winds,

tornadoes and extreme fire hazard all at the same time. “It’ll be a miracle if there’s any brome this year,” the ranch partner accessed. Even when all soil nutrition is properly managed, Mother Nature has the final hand. Spring showers are a major ingredient for tame grass growth, and there haven’t been enough. It can all change with one big rain, but that hasn’t come. Those light yearlings on that big fescue pasture up north are scrounging for their meals, too. Typically, the tame grass planted
into native sod would be lush, but not yet this year. Despite many getaway fires, land managers who’re heartand-soul-believers in pasture burning merits are having qualms whether to ignite. It’s better to have some dry-year-old grass to turn out onto than no feedstuffs period. Water is another concern as ponds are near-record low while creeks and springs are dry. Water and feed are basics of cattle operations. Upon parishioners’ continued prodding, the pastor verified he’s been stringently pray-

ing for rain. Reserved chuckle came from pews when he contended they were being answered with rains in his home country of Burma. However, “it’s always rained here sometime.” Reminded of Acts 14:17: “He kept constantly doing good things and showing kindness, and giving you rains from heaven and productive seasons.”

#FridaysOnTheFarm – Growing a Dairy One Scoop at a Time From the kitchen table to the boardroom table, the USDA brings people together across the nation for: healthier food, natural resources and people; a stronger agricultural industry; and economic growth, jobs and innovation. Each Friday, meet those farmers, producers and landowners through our #Fridaysonthefarm stories. Visit local farms, ranches, forests and resource areas where USDA customers and partners do right and feed everyone.This Friday, meet Jared and Treacy Weeks, who have used hard work and innovation to grow their Ringoes, New Jersey, dairy, which produces “Jersey Fresh” single-sourced milk. They sell milk as well as use it for locally-made ice cream.Building a BusinessJared Weeks grew up surrounded by dairy farms in rural New Jersey. After working on a neighbor’s dairy farm, he started Hun-Val Dairy Farm in 2005 with a youth loan from USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA).
He progressed to direct farm operating loans, which have been essential to the dairy’s growth over the years.“For producers just getting started, direct farm operating loans provide an essential gateway into agricultural production by financing the cost of operating a farm,” said Kevin Murphy, farm loan program chief for FSA in New Jersey. “Jared is one of our successes. We really like to see these young farmers succeed.”Jared Weeks, owner of Hun-Val Dairy Farm in Ringoes, New Jersey. Photo courtesy of Hun-Val Dairy Farm.In 2006, his first operating loan enabled him to purchase his starting herd of registered Brown Swiss and Holstein cows. His second operating loan in 2007 helped him purchase more cows to expand his herd and equipment to operate efficiently.After renting a barn for a few years, Weeks was able to build a barn of his own in 2008 with the help of another operat-
ing loan.“FSA gave me the chance to make it work,” Jared said.Red Barn Milk Company was opened in July 2017 by Hun-Val Dairy Farm and Double Brook Farm. Pictured above (left to right) is FSA Farm Loan Specialist Shannon Barton, Jared Weeks, New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas Fischer and FSA County Executive Director Doreen Beruck. Photos by FSA and Hun-Val Dairy Farm.By providing access to credit, FSA’s farm loan programs offer opportunities to family-sized farmers and ranchers to start, improve, expand, transition, market and strengthen their operations.“FSA has been involved in every step of the progress of our business,” he added. “FSA is sometimes the only foot in the door. It’s a valuable asset to new farmers.”Sweet VentureHun-Val Dairy is now home to a herd of 200 cows. In 2015, it became the first dairy farm in New Jersey to receive the Jersey Fresh label on its products.“It’s a value-added program,” Jared said. “It puts emphasis on local products, so the public can see our products came from a farm in New Jersey. It’s been a great way to set our products apart on grocery shelves.”While all Hun-Val’s products are single-sourced, the bottling process is outsourced. Their longterm goal is to bottle their own milk at the farm.Weeks used his first operating loan in 2006 to purchase his starting herd of registered Brown Swiss and Holstein cows.

Most recently, in partnership with Double Brook Farm, a livestock operation, the Jared and Treacy created Red Barn Milk Company, where people can enjoy locally-sourced ice cream, fresh bottled milk, hamburgers, hot dogs, bratwurst and more.“It was apparent from the start that just milking wasn’t going to cut it,” said Jared. “One thing we have a lot of in New Jersey is people. Tying into that was our best bet.”The Red Barn Milk Company serves locally sourced food, beverages and ice cream in Ringoes, New Jersey. Photos courtesy of Hun-Val Dairy.In addition to the daily farm duties, both Jared and Treacy are active in the local 4-H in Hunterdon County, educating students about dairy cows and the industry.“They are very dedicated to what they do and want to see the New Jersey dairy industry succeed,” said Shannon Barton, FSA farm loan specialist.

More than 200 come together to discuss Ogallala Aquifer GARDEN CITY, Kan. – More than 200 people from agriculture and other industries came together April 9-10 to discuss the challenges and opportunities for preserving groundwater in the Ogallala Aquifer region, a large resource that touches parts of eight states from South Dakota to Texas. The Ogallala Aquifer Summit marked a key accomplishment in the 50-year water vision for Kansas, a plan set forth in 2013 by then Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback. “The Ogallala was one of the two marquee parts of the governor’s 50-Year Water Vision, along with the reservoirs in the eastern part of the state,” said Tracy Streeter, director of the Kansas Water Office, which organized the summit along with Kansas State University and Colorado State University. “This conference is very important in helping us achieve our goals under the 50-year water plan that the governor set us on three years ago.” Dan Devlin, the director of the Kansas Water Research Institute at Kansas State University, noted that the meeting was also in response to citizen’s requests.
“It was really interesting back when Gov. Brownback was doing the meetings for the 50-Year Water Vision for Kansas, we heard at meeting after meeting from citizens that they wanted to talk to the other Ogallala states,” Devlin said. “They said, ‘we want to know what they’re doing. We want to know what we can learn from them and we can also share things.’” The Ogallala Aquifer underlies 175,000 square miles, or about 112 million acres in parts of eight states. For nearly 80 years, farmers and communities have been using the aquifer for agriculture and public water supplies. The Ogallala supports about 30 percent of all U.S. crop and livestock production, accounting for an estimated $35 billion in agricultural products annually. But the resource is dwindling…quickly. Southern parts of the aquifer – including many areas of Texas and New Mexico – are nearly dry and in western Kansas, an extremely productive agricultural region, wells are slowing down as the amount of water available to farmers is becoming increasingly scarce.
“When we are dealing with issues like the Ogallala Aquifer, addressing them from one state’s perspective is just not the best way to get something done,” said Jackie McClaskey, secretary of the Kansas Department of Agriculture, who participated in the two-day meeting. “By pulling together all of the states impacted by the Ogallala it allows us to bring lots of great ideas and lots of minds and lots of folks together to really say how can we work together to address concerns in the Ogallala, whether that be decline or economic conditions surrounding the Ogallala…all the different types of issues that not only Kansans are concerned about, but all of the folks that live on the Ogallala.” Summit participants heard presentations on science and research, technology, producer practices and water policy, and shared their views on each during small group sessions. Their opinions were compiled and will be part of a report due out later this year. “For me, the importance of this meeting is just kind of listening to

some of the concerns in the other states,” said Harold Grall, a farmer near Dumas, Texas. “We’re all pumping out of the same aquifer. Each of the states has its own set of rules and regulations on how they conserve water and I like hearing those different ideas.” He added: “At times, it just seems because we’re depleting a finite source, that our time is limited, but talking to the people around here helps us to be hopeful that maybe we’ve got a longer time than we think.” A common theme at the meeting was that farmers want to do what’s right and sustain the resource for generations to come. It wasn’t a message lost on 16-year-old Grace Roth, an officer in FFA and a Kansas Youth Water Advocate. “It encourages me and also makes me feel kind of relieved because these people have a genuine care for the future and these people want to do something for our generation,” Roth said. “They want to take action today so that we can ensure our future; we can ensure the future not only of agriculture but also the future of our world.”
Roth, who gave an impassioned 10-minute talk during the meeting, said every person should be interested about issues that help to preserve and protect water. “Just imagine if one day you turn on your sink and nothing came out,” she said. “How would you continue on with your life? It’s a very scary thought of not being able to prosper in the future.” Much of the university research currently being conducted in the Ogallala Aquifer region is a result of a Coordinated Agriculture Project (CAP) grant from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture. CAP grants are designed to involve researchers from many universities and organizations, and to communicate information to citizens. “We want producers to be the voice that is
spreading the message,” said the Kansas Water Office’s Streeter. “It’s one thing for ag departments, universities, water office folks to get up and tell these success stories, but it’s much better for the producers themselves to do it, and that voice does get heard by other producers.” McClaskey added: “What I think is unique about (the Ogallala Summit) is that we have universities engaged, we have government agencies engaged, but most important we have farmers and ranchers engaged. And those are the folks that are going to hold the rest of us accountable to keep moving forward and make sure that progress happens.” Learn more about work in the Ogallala Aquifer region by visiting https:// www.ogallalawater.org.

Laugh Tracks in the Dust
Milo Yield Laugh Tracks My story about the Washington State ranching couple who pulled pranks on “gun free” retailers in the Seattle area, prompted a response from ol’ Lowe Beamer from Nebraska. Lowe wrote: “A couple years ago when your Platte City, Mo, buddy Canby Handy, came out to Holdrege, we were going to get
down to the local Eagles club, but ran out of time. I was reminded of it when you wrote your ‘No Concealed Weapons’ article in your most recent column. “One of the trustees at the Eagles posted a note on both doors of the establishment stating that ‘No Guns Allowed On Premises.’ I guess he didn’t count the Henry Golden Boy hanging over the bar as first prize in a raffle, raising funds for our cancer charity. “Another trustee asked why the signs were necessary — had we had problems with guns in the past? The sign-poster replied, ‘No, but I want to avoid

them in the future.’ “So the 2nd trustee gets a couple of pieces of paper and a magic marker and posts ‘No Rhinoceros Allowed On Premises.’ He turned to his counterpart and said ‘I know we haven’t had any in here in the past, but I want to avoid problems with them in the future. Just cain’t be too careful!’ His point was taken and both sets of signs came down. *** Lowe continued with a story about his mom and quaint old songs that she knew and shared with him, just like my Grandma Ann did for me. He wrote: “Mom was a depression-era poet also, like your grandma Ann, and used to sing us little kids old songs from that era or quote us poems as we were gardening or picking chickens or taking food out to the fields. A couple that I know were not of her invention were: “My boarding house, so dear, I’ve been there for many a year Where they serve the grub upon the 2nd floor. There’s a coffin in the parlor and a graveyard in the cellar And the undertaker’s place is right next door. The donuts, they are wooden and they serve limburger puddin’ And they kneel in prayer before they come to grub. If you chance to get a wheeze of that old baloney and cheese
You’d have sweared somebody hit you with a club. The hotdogs they do bark, and they serve fried meadowlark, And the stew gets all things they can find pitched in. The cook is old and gray, may have passed on yesterday. Which would explain the smells a’comin’ from the kitchen.” *** And, Lowe continues with another one that his Mom sang that might have helped him out a bit with geography. It went something like this: “Oh, what did Ioway, Oh, what did Ioway? I ask you very confidentially, what did Ioway? She weighed her Washington. She weighed her Washington. I tell you very confidentially, she weighed her Washington. Oh, what did Delaware? Oh, what did Delaware? I ask you very confidentially, what did Delaware? She wore her New Jersey. She wore her New Jersey. I tell you very confidentially, she wore her New Jersey.
Oh, what did Idaho? Oh, what did Idaho? I ask you very confidentially, what did Idaho? She hoed her Maryland. She hoed her Maryland. I tell you very confidentially she hoed her Maryland. Oh, what did Tennessee? Oh, what did Tennessee? I ask you very confidentially, what did Tennessee? The same thing Arkansas. The same thing Arkansas. I tell you very confidentially, the same thing Arkansas. Oh, where has Oregon? Oh, where has Oregon? I ask you very confidentially, where has Oregon? I don’t know, Alaska. I don’t know, Alaska. I tell you very confidentially, I don’t know, Alaska.” *** My thanks to Lowe for almost completely writing my column for me this week. It gave me more time to work outdoors and nap indoors. I’ll note that the last few weeks of lyrics from goofy songs from a bygone era might just prove that the music enjoyed by the current generation might not be as distasteful as we oldsters believe it to
be. *** I’ve an old farmer friend who lives at Royal City, Wash., raising mostly alfalfa hay in the Columbia Basin. She wrote: “Today, I placed my Glock 19 pistol on the table right next to my front door. I left its clip beside it, then left it alone and went about my business. While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail. The neighbor’s son mowed my yard. Another neighborhood girl walked her dog down the road. After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was quietly sitting there, right where I had left it. It had not moved itself outside. It had not killed anyone. In fact, it had not even loaded itself. Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the hype by the Left and the media, about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people. Either the media is wrong, or I’m in possession of the laziest gun in the world. Well, I’m off to check on my spoons. I hear they’re making people fat!” Ponder what my friend wrote … and, have a good ‘un

Kansas Profile – Now That’s Rural: Zack Schaffer, Schaffer Furniture By Ron Wilson, director of the Huck Boyd National Institute for Rural Development at Kansas State University The Facebook post
came from Mike Rowe, the nationally-known television host and advocate for American workers. His post featured a beautiful rocking chair and the
craftsman who made it in the heartland of rural Kansas. Zack Schaffer is the owner, founder and sole employee of Schaffer Furniture
which was recently featured on Mike Rowe’s Facebook page. Zack grew up on a farm and ranch near Jetmore. “I took wood shop in high school

to avoid calculus and trigonometry,” Zack said. He majored in industrial technology at Fort Hays State. Zack specialized in making hand-crafted wooden furniture. Due to the fact that there were no fine furniture makers nearby, his required internship for degree completion was the implementation of a self-directed project in fine furniture making. He designed and built a cherry Queen Anne style highboy. “For the tools I had at the time, it was phenomenal, but looking back it was
pretty crude,” Zack said. After graduation, he moved back to the ranch and got married. During off times or after chores were done, Zack continued to work with wood. He started working in his dad’s shop, a converted two-car garage. He watched videos, became a self-taught craftsman, improved his craft, and started selling his handmade wood products. In September 2017 Zack bought a building on the main street in Jetmore, expanded his inventory of tools and opened Schaffer Furniture. (Continued on page 25)

April 18, 2018 (Continued from page 24) Today, Schaffer Furniture is shipping its handmade products from Philadelphia to California. Each item is custom-built. “A bed is kind of a standard design for anybody, but a chair has to fit each individual person,” Zack said. He designs his chairs to support the lumbar region and take stress off the sciatic nerve. He produces rocking chairs, other chairs, cribs, desks, bar stools, and more. His raw wood comes from all over the U.S. “I get slabs from Oregon to New York,” Zack said. His wood rasps come from France. Through word of mouth, his
Page 25 products have become known for their craftsmanship. “One guy in DC bought a chair for his mom,” he said. Zack is also a fan of Mike Rowe, the host of television shows such as Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel and the CNN series Somebody’s Gotta Do It. Zack especially appreciated his creation of the mikeroweWORKS Foundation which supports those working in the skilled trades. Zack decided to send Mike Rowe a handmade rocking chair. “It was meant as a gift to thank him for what he’s doing,” Zack said. When Mike Rowe got the rocking chair, he posted
a response on Facebook on March 16, 2018. Here’s an excerpt: “Zack Schaffer is a wheat farmer in Jetmore, Kansas. He runs 200 head of cattle. He lives with his wife Renee and their new son, Henry… When Zack’s not farming, he’s making furniture…. Zack made me a rocking chair. It arrived at my home today. It’s made of solid walnut, and it’s stunning…. Here’s the thing about Zack. I don’t know him from Adam. He’s just a farmer who called my office one day and said, ‘Hi, I’m Zack. I make furniture and I love what mikeroweWORKS is doing. I’d like to
send Mike a handmade rocking chair, as a token of my appreciation. Do you think he’d like a handmade rocking chair?’ Who says “no” to a handmade rocking chair? I’m not only humbled by Zack’s gift, I’m blown away by his craftsmanship. Here’s a young man, raising a family in America’s heartland by growing the food we eat, and making something as beautiful as it is useful. By hand. One piece at a time…I called Zack Schaffer this morning to thank him for his gift. He was impossibly gracious…We talked about his grandparents, Dan and Ruby. We talked about the challenges of
farming, and of furniture making…I think he does amazing work.” I’m proud that this craftsman is found in the rural community of Jetmore, population 867 people. Now, that’s rural. For more information, see www.schafferfurniture.com. We commend Zack Schaffer for making a difference with his craftsmanship and entrepreneurship. I think it rocks.

Our year of the Eclipse By: Tonya Stevenson
As I had watched 2017’s big eclipse it seemed the Holy Spirit whispered comfort into my soul for the days ahead...sometimes close up trials block the light and, in our anguish, we are blinded to His eternal grace and purpose. Within a few minutes, Tasha, our daughter, called informing us she was having contractions every minute with fifty-five miles to the hospital on eclipse jammed roads with no cell service. The baby is only 28 weeks and in the 24% weight wise. Arriving at the hospital, Tasha was flown to Denver. In Denver on medications and bed rest they kept Tasha’s contractions at bay. Relieved they are at this facility specializing in high risk pregnancies, we waited while thanking God for each additional day before delivery. Tasha’s one allowed activity was to soak in the pool, there she found the maternal
fellowship and friendship she had missed having her child so prolonged from her peers; plus, these women knew the roller-coaster of high-risk pregnancy. One doctor explained, “It appears that your baby’s head slipped into place shutting off the loss of amniotic fluid, which has kept your fluid in the low normal range. Furthermore, you appear to have closed back-up. That is very rare, but it does happen in maybe 2% of all pregnancies.” The pool soakings brought Tasha’s amniotic fluid back to normal. The Doctors were amazed, and greatly encouraged. Tasha was still having a few seizures which seemed to be trigged by contractions, leading the Doctors to conclude there was no chance for a natural delivery. Tasha kept praying – she wanted to be there to welcome her only child. When the doctors ordered medicines to stop the seizures, Tasha warned them,
“The medicines only increase my seizures.” They insisted as the seizures could harm the baby. The drugs put Tasha into a near constant seizure pattern, it also caused her liver enzymes to spike dangerously. Tasha was already borderline preeclampsia. However, Tasha had now reached the thirty-three-week mark, no longer considered in need of the critical care at Denver – she was released to go home. Tasha called her clinic to set up appointments for her prescribed weekly preeclampsia test and the baby’s ultrasounds. The receptionist said, “That is only for high-risk pregnancies. You aren’t high-risk, are you?” Frustration was an understatement! Tasha was in no place to keep the appointments let
alone fight for them. Phone calls, lights, noise all set off or kept her in seizures. “Joey knows best how to take care of my seizures,” Tasha assured. Which was true, she never had seizures growing up. We prayed and waited for those days when she could call, anguished by her suffering and reminded ourselves that God was good no matter how this ended. Everyday increased the baby’s chances, but what about Tasha’s? Two weeks later (Continued on page 27)

April 18, 2018 (Continued from page 26) Tasha’s seizures tapered enough to let her friends throw her a long-awaited baby shower, which I attended. Tasha loved it, she looked better, but joked about needing help up the stairs. Three days later Tasha was found to have severe preeclampsia, rushed to the hospital, put on a magnesium IV, and induced. The nurse, a friend of Tasha’s sympathized, “O Tasha, I am so sorry this is going to make it such a long hard delivery. It may take three days.” “I am going to have this baby on your shift, have been praying I
Page 27 would.” “Well, I will be on tomorrow night,” the nurse responded. The magnesium relaxed an exhausted Tasha enough she slept over two hours, woke up with hard contractions, pushed about fifteen minutes and delivered her cherished boy just ten days before his due date. Harris James weighted 5lbs 11oz. For two hours his parents marveled over their perfect little miracle. Too soon… their celebration was shattered by pain so intense the max of morphine would not touch it. The nurse immediately called the
Rapid Response Team, “This woman just delivered her baby without any pain meds, her pain tolerance is very high, something is really wrong.” They were prepping for emergency surgery, until Tasha began to hemorrhage out of her nose and mouth, to slip in and out of consciousness, waking to mouthfuls of blood clots, unable to speak. The Doctors pumped in platelet transfusions explaining, “Her liver is about to rupture. If it does there is nothing we can do.” Tasha not only had preeclampsia, but
also one of the worst cases of HELLP Syndrome: H-hemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells), EL-elevated liver enzymes, LP-low platelets count. It would be seven days with no visitors before she was stabilized. When finally we saw our daughter, Tasha told us, “I am glad I did not know how bad it was going to be, but with the way it has ended - it was worth it all.” She nestles Harris close – close as her omniscient Heavenly Father has brought Tasha to Himself.

ROGER'S VIEW FROM THE HILLS: WHAT ARE THEY TEACHING?
Roger's View From The Hills “A PEOPLE WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR PAST HISTORY, ORIGIN, AND CULTURE IS LIKE A TREE WITHOUT ROOTS. Marcus Garvey I always seem to stir up teachers with my opinions and if I do they are not fully reading or understanding why I am ticked at the educational system. For the record I know and am related to a lot of good teachers. I support good teachers and am at odds with teachers who want to divert the process of actually teaching facts and promoting good exchange of ideas. The inclusion of political ideology should be reserved for government class where the examination of various forms of government can be historically taken apart and the results be ex-
amined. I am always outraged at those who insist that the United States is a Democracy. Which it isn’t! I have written time and again that we are a Representative Republic. A republic gives rights to minorities in a system governed by a Constitution and laws. Although there has been a perversion of a lot of functions of government the Republic is still the best form of government ever devised. Yes with its faults and foibles when compared to other forms of government, it is still the only system that gives rights and responsibilities to the individual. The people are governed by their own consent and not by the largesse of the government itself. Democracy is majority rule and that is rule by bullying consent of the majority. So why does this constant use of the term democracy exist? For the same reason that Communist and Socialist have been changed to Progressive. Starting at the turn of the century (1900) the consistent manipulation of laws and moving power from the governed to the governors has been so well documented that if you are
not familiar with them you have been either willfully or purposefully diverted from the knowledge of history. When I graduated from high school the history class was taught by a man who was a historian. Another teacher who was a historian created a class that was only taught at this school and not duplicated in other places as far as I can tell. Immediately after graduation I started hearing about a move to rewrite the history books but it was not an update it was a revision. I have written for years and advocated against the revision of history and yet people who should have know better went along with it. The first part of dismantling a country is to destroy its history and replace it with an acceptable narrative. Acceptable for those who are in power or were in pursuit of it. Going by the large number of interviews being done
on college campuses it looks as if the job has been done. We are acknowledging the horrible Nazi act of the Holocaust and they are now showing that a huge number of students and young Americans have no idea what it was. President Eisenhower predicted this and gave the order, when the concentration camps were liberated, to film and photograph as much of the horror as possible. This because “at some point in the future somebody will deny that the Holocaust ever occurred and we must guard against this happening.” Well guess what? It is happening. I have been critical of many schools because of the people I know who graduated and could not read or write. I have supported home schooling because of the high results that many of these students end up with. But I am even more mad at the home schoolers who
simply are too cheap to educate their kids. This from people I know who have to teach grown home schooled people how to read and write. I applaud the great teachers in schools or homes and condemn the bad teachers in both places. When finishing the writing and signing of out Declaration of Independence a lady asked Benjamin Franklin what they had done? His reply was “We give you a Republic, if you can keep it.”
Individual responsibility is the foundation of our country, government, and society. The demise will be the collective surrender of individual responsibilities and giving up of individual freedoms for the promise of something that will be done for you without your effort. As it has been said that “anyone who will give up freedom for some seeming safety, deserves neither freedom nor safety.”

John Marshall contest have morphed into launch angles, bat speeds, route efficiencies, with blazing spectrographics that dis- tract and at times overload. Bring us the game, we said, not a physics lecture. So far, so good, except that the MLB
science hall has given way to the cancer ward, the cardiac clinic, the gut doctor. A televised game, especially a late one, frequently takes time out for a parade of advertising misery that no waiting room gossip could hope to match. Irritable bowel syndrome has replaced the outfielder’s route efficiency. Hepatitis C has out-muscled the launch angle. Bat speed gives way to new and improved catheters. Drum lines of fabulous pharmaceuticals
and miracle tonics are announced with conviction and fanfare of a carnival barker. Foreign names and unintelligible spellings flash across the screen. Before us is grandpa draining three-pointers from beyond the driveway arc, or grandma in waders, landing a 10-pound trout from the rapids of a mountain river – all with lilting music in the background. Mom and Dad, fresh from those dueling bathtubs of ED days, now play rugby with the kids in the back yard. They
are free of the fear of stroke or a sudden onset of incontinence. Who wouldn’t want a better life, or a chance to live longer? the ads ask. The answer comes as the game, tied, heads to the bot- tom of the 9th: We want that better life, but it comes with “possible” side effects, afflictions that may come with the ad’s miracle cure: Lung rot, liver failure, kidney tumors, blindness, halitosis, heart failure, stroke and ulcers only begin the list. As the 9th begins,
as viewers at last process the difference between on-base percentage and slugging average, they are told to nag their doctors about Miracle Pill, the way to a better life. The way to a sensible life is the mute button. Let baseball be baseball, let viewers be fans, and let doctors be doctors without all the pharma worshiping. Television may have brought technology to baseball, but the sport can do without the wild pitches for new and improved snake oil.

The Pelicans at Curley’s Corner one in a large cage trap set for bobcats, possibly a first for both me and the skunk. As I slowly approached the cage, the silly thing ran to the back and began an acrobatics display fit for a circus. First up one side, across the back Exploring Kansas Outdoors by its front claws then By Steve Gilliland down the other side it
[email protected] went, twirling like a little black and white I recently agreed to ballerina. With great see if a skunk needed effort and a long stick to be evicted from beI got the cage door neath a friend’s empty propped open, then home that is for sale. She said she was in the turned and ran cause’ I knew Pepe’ would be house the other day charging the open door and it smelled terrifor his freedom. At a bly “skunky” inside, making her think one might be living under the porch. My glasses have transition lenses that turn really dark in the sunlight, so as I blindly peered into the darkness beneath the porch I wondered aloud how bad the situation might turn if I suddenly came face-toface (and hopefully not face-to-butt) with the resident skunk. I’ve had some interesting adventures involving skunks in traps, the worst of which led to a drive home in my underwear so I didn’t totally contaminate the inside of my truck. Looking back, I can call them interesting now, but at the time my descriptions were slightly different. Skunks are fairly laid back critters and if caught in an enclosed or covered cage trap can usually be carted away in the trap and unceremoniously dumped somewhere without incident. Some years ago as a new trapper I caught

safe distance I turned to watch, and there it still hung like Spiderman on the inside of the cage. My next plan involved rushing the cage, arms flailing and shouting at the top of my lungs, hoping to scare the critter out the open front door. It didn’t take me long to see how this would turn disastrous and the maneuver was called off in mid-charge. I had other traps to check, so I opted to leave for awhile, then just stop on my way back through and reset the trap after Pepe’ had vamoosed. A half hour
later I found it still in the trap, curled up in a fuzzy little black and white ball in the back corner of the cage. I finally just left and the thing vanished sometime overnight. My latest encounter was just last season. A short distance from town I had a large skunk caught in a foothold coyote trap. Despite most people’s thinking, foothold traps usually cause a critter no more than a sore foot for awhile, but this skunk appeared to be stone cold dead. I stood and marveled at its beautiful silky fur as it rippled in the wind, and tried to
April 18, 2018 figure what had caused its demise. It had the trap completely covered so I needed to push it aside to remove it. Both the skunk and the trap were going to stink already, and not anxious to drive home again in my stocking feet or underwear, I found a nice sturdy stick to roll it out of the way. I don’t know who was most surprised, the sleeping skunk when I poked it with the stick or me when it suddenly jumped to its feet! This encounter did not end in disaster (for me) but it gave new meaning to the old cliché’ “Things are not always as they seem.”
I’ve never understood how the term “skunked” came to mean basically getting nothing, as in getting “skunked” on a fishing trip. They are amazing little creatures that are very good at doing what God created them to do. Their fur is soft and silky, their essence is prized by trappers and the perfume industry and they’re actually fun to watch as they waddle along. But if you ever get “skunked” by messing with one, I guarantee you’ll get way more than nothing! Steve can be contacted by email at

into the Atlantic Ocean. I don’t think there was ever a day that he regretted not getting one hit on his line. The peace and quiet that he loved was found between the crashing of the waves most Sunday afternoons of spring and fall. We always had a box of frozen squid, my fathers favorite bait, at the ready. I have many memories of meeting my mother at her car that she would park by the waters edge to have her lunch break. She always noted that this was prime people watching footage. On a good day you could catch stealth seagulls dive bombing unsuspecting tourists holding boxes of fried clams – that was all the material this great story teller needed to run with a story from the tourists prospective or the birds, for that matter. She always smiled and stated that as long as you had a great vantage point, the stories fell in your lap. There is nothing like your first farmers market of the year for seasoned, people watchers like myself. Vendors as far as the eye can see selling everything under the sun, especially that item you didn’t even realize you had been searching for most of your adult life.

trotting bunny catches my eye, I think back to stories that my mother wrote onto the back of a dozen or so photos of a squirrel boldly investigating her presence in his backyard world. She was the master of “watchers”, and easily plotted tales of this squirrels adventures to amuse my oldest daughter, Aubrae. Mediums have evolved since the days of those photos my mother sent, but the storytelling has been passed down quite well. I need to snap some photos of the next bunny I see, then add text boxes with a rabbits “tale” and push SEND to begin to nurture my next generation of watchers in the making.

Water Snakes, Poisonous or Not? With the weather warming up, and summer almost here, the lake is a common spot for families to spend their time. You’re swimming, and you notice a snake floating around near you. What is your reaction? Will you know if that snake is poisonous or not? Snakes are important for our ecosystem, however, water snakes are known to be aggressive and will strike when approached. There are four types of venomous snakes to watch out for, only one of which lives in and around the water. The Cottonmouth snake, also known as the water moccasin, swims on top of the water similar to other kinds of water snakes. Non-venomous water snakes will generally sink down below the surface of the water and float with only their head sticking out. On the other hand Cottonmouth snakes float on the surface of the water. This type of snake is normally found near a body of water. Cottonmouths are often mistaken for Copperhead snakes. The cottonmouth has a white mouth and often opens their mouth wide to scare off predators. Copperhead snakes have a pink mouth, and are a chocolate milk color with darker brown stripes. Adult cottonmouths are typically dark brown, which can appear to be almost black. Younger cottonmouths can be more brownish in color with their own distinct markings. A young cottonmouth’s tail is yellow. So how you tell the difference between a water snake that is not poisonous, and a poisonous cottonmouth? Most water snakes are slender, with a thin or flat head, they have

round pupils and no pits on their face. You may also find a water snake on tree limbs by the water. Water snakes hibernate in the winter and are social during other parts of the year, and when threatened, they can bite, give off a musky smell, defecate or vomit. Water snakes eat slow-moving fish, frogs, toads and salamanders. There are 10 different species of water snakes and they all look a bit different, however the venomous Cottonmouth has its own distinct look. They have a heavy, thick body with
a distinct narrow neck, a blocky head and a dark-colored body. Cottonmouth ranges in color, and can be dark brown, olive-brown, olive-green or black and have with wide, dark bands, which make them more distinct than other types of water snakes. Cottonmouth’s can be anywhere from two to four feet in length. These snakes eat fish, small mammals, birds, lizards and even smaller cottonmouth’s. Like all predators, you will find them near their prey. With these facts in mind you should feel

better equipped to tell the difference. It is also a good idea to stay away from snakes if they aren’t harming you. If there is a snake in your house, or on your property and you need help removing it, contact your local wildlife and pest control. The poison control center advises that if someone is bitten by a snake that they stay calm, limit use of the bitten arm or leg, wash thoroughly with soap and water and call the poison control center at 888-222-1222.
