WICHITA – Mike Weidenhaft of
Beloit, is Manager of Mitchell County
Rural Water District No. 3, and has been
recognized by the Kansas Rural Water
Association as Rural Water Manager of
the Year.
The award was presented this past
week during the Association’s 48th
Annual Conference & Exhibition held at
the Century II Convention Center in
Wichita
The conference, which was attended
by nearly 2,400 people from more than
300 cities and 190 rural water districts,
was held at the Century II Convention
Center in Wichita.
“I was surprised by this recognition,”
said Weidenhaft. “ I take my job serious
and I am proud of what I do and I am
honored.”
Weidenhaft began work with the
Mitchell RWD 3 about six years ago as a
part-time operator but after only a couple
of months, was moved into a full-time
position. From the beginning of his
employment, he noticed discrepancies in
water purchased versus water sold and
began investigating the payment history
of each customer.
A number of
nonpaying and underpaying customers
were identified and a process was
implemented to return them to be current
on charges.
By creating a database with all users
and checking it routinely, delinquent
accounts were identified. Those accounts
now receive past-due notices and a shutoff notice with very substantial
reconnection fees for accounts that are 60
days past due. These efforts along with
the process of collecting for underpaid
water dating back several years have
resulted in unaccounted for water being
reduced to less than 10 percent. “Mike is
a great asset to the district and he has
worked diligently in partnership
with the board of directors to rectify
office and field procedural
inefficiencies, In just a few years,
Mitchell RWD 3 has gone from a
small, struggling water district to
one
that
is
becoming
technologically advanced,” stated
Elmer
Ronnebaum,
General
Manager of the Association in
making the presentation.
Weidenhaft currently holds a
Class I water operator certification.
Mitchell RWD 3’s system
consists of more than 600 miles of
pipeline, nine water storage tanks
and ten pumping stations. The
district also provides water to five
small cities as well.
Other
improvements that have been
completed by the District include
GPS mapping of all meters, valves,
water mains and service lines.
Weidenhaft was also instrumental
for the District to begin installation
of satellite-read meters. The district
plans to have its staff continue to
make the installations until all 620
meters are replaced. The new
equipment is being paid for with
internal funds.
Others recognized during the
conference include the following:
Municipal City Administrator Ian
Martell, city of Eureka; Municipal
Water Operator Fred Washburn,
city
of
Hoxie;
Municipal
Wastewater Operator Jon Voss, city
of Stockton; City Clerk Kim
Everley, city of McLouth; Rural
Water Operator Adrianne Feeney,
Dickinson RWD 1; The Association
named the City of Green as the
most improved water system in
Kansas in 2014. Its Friend of Rural
Water Award was presented to
Margaret Fast of the Kansas Water
Office. The city of Emporia placed
first in the “Best Tasting Water in
Kansas” contest.
The conference training program
included 57 seminars on all aspects of
water
and
wastewater
utility
operations and management and 331
exhibits of products and services for
municipal water and wastewater
utilities. Special guest speakers
included Dr. Peter Grevatt, Director of
the Office of Drinking Water and
Ground Water at US EPA,
Washington, and Tracy Streeter,
Director of the Kansas Water Office,
Topeka.
Kansas Rural Water Association
provides training and technical
assistance to cities and rural water
districts and also supports a variety of
other community programs from GPS
mapping to the popular KAN STEP
self-help program through the
Department of Commerce. See

GLEN ELDER – Two Kansas school districts have announced they will
dismiss the current school semester early, citing budget cuts. In March, Governor
Sam Brownback signed a school funding overhaul which resulted in a combined
$51 million shortfall for Kansas school districts.
The Concordia school district has announced it will end it’s school year on
May 15 rather than May 21 and will also be closed on April 16 and May 1 to
spread out the days certain staff will not be paid.
The Twin Valley District, which includes Benninton and Tescott, will
dismiss for the year on May 8 rather than May 20. Also citing a lack of available
funding.
Governor Brownback told reporters last week that Concordia would have had
to adjust its spending anyway because it had low reserves and lost additional
funding under the current formula.
According to the Wichita Eagle, he argued that districts would benefit under
his plan because block grants offer more flexibility and that spending would
increase over the next two years.
BELOIT – The Annual Heart
Choices Banquet will be held at 7
p.m. on Thursday, April 23 at the
Beloit Municipal Building. JJ Jasper
is the speaker this year. He is a bestselling author, comedian, dedicated
Christian, and family man. For more

meal will feature spaghetti with meat
sauce, garlic bread, tossed salad,
easter cupcakes from The Cupcake
Club. Serving is from 5:30 to 7 p.m.,
at the United Methodist Church
Fellowship Hall at the corner of Bell

The new school funding plan eliminates the previous formula for
determining state aid and replaces it with block grants which will give the
districts a fixed amount of money for the next two hearts while a new permanent
formula is developed.
The Twin Valley board says the school will trim seven and a half
“discretionary days” from the school calendar, but activities including athletics
would continue. Concordia expects to save about $30,000 by not running busses
and their cafeterias as well as not paying those employees who operate those
aspects of the district. The Twin Valley district has not released any numbers
associated with the early closing.
A special meeting of the Waconda USD 272 board is scheduled for tonight
to discuss the possibility of combining the two elementary schools in the district
into one building as a remedy to stave off the budget cuts they are facing
according to Superintendent Troy Damman.
The cuts in state aid for schools has cost USD 273 Beloit over $200,000, but
the district is expected to finish out the school year as scheduled.

Post Rock Extension Answers
By Neil Cates
Post Rock Extension District Agent – Livestock Production
K-State Research and Extension
I am expecting
my first child. My mother is a
wonderful, intelligent 68-yearold woman. She is also bipolar
and seems incapable of keeping
herself physically healthy and
her house clean. I know her
poor health almost certainly
stems from the fact that her
living conditions are filthy. She
also has a sour smell about her
that makes me worry that she is
lax about her personal hygiene.
I have tried many times over
the years to help her keep her
house clean, but inevitably it
returns to a state of extreme
disarray. The only visible floor
is the pathway through piles of
junk. The kitchen and bathroom
are
moldy
biohazards.
Eventually, I came to the
realization that nothing I say or
do is going to make her start
taking care of herself. I can”t
afford to hire a caregiver to help
her, and I”m past the point of
trying to make a dent in the
perpetual filth myself.
My main problem is that
when my baby is born, I know
Mom is going to want to spend
time with her. I don”t feel
comfortable allowing my infant
child to be exposed to the
unhealthy conditions of her
house. I am ashamed to say that
I also don”t feel comfortable
placing my baby in the care of a
woman who seems incapable of
caring for herself.
How can I tell my mother, the
woman who raised me, how to
live? This is a conversation I
never wanted to have. Is there
any way I can avoid breaking
her heart and embarrassing her?
-- A Concerned Daughter and
Mom-to-Be
We
sympathize, but your child”s
welfare will soon become your
first priority. This will make it
easier for you to talk to Mom.
Tell her you love her and
understand that her level of
cleanliness and hygiene is her
choice, but it is not appropriate
for your child. Explain that
visits with the baby will take
place only in your home, under
your supervision. She will
promise to do better, but that is
not a guarantee. So, also say
that you hope this will spur her
to seek professional help to
make her life healthier for
herself and everyone around
her. Her doctor can refer her. If
she is heartbroken and
embarrassed, that should not
change the parameters you have
set up for the care of your child.

complained that at holiday
gatherings, four of the female
relatives go into another room
to laugh, excluding the other
three women and the men. The
others should plan something
they can enjoy together with or
without the other four.
Plan ahead, and make sure
everyone knows you have a
game to play, a funny gift
exchange, a skit to perform or a
tale to tell of holidays past in
which each person is expected
to speak for one minute. Have a
bonfire
and
roast
marshmallows. Be silly and
lighthearted,
forget
your
troubles and play games with
the children.
Turn these gatherings into a
celebration for all of you,
instead of a party for the clique
and a whining session for the
rest. Whether they join in or not,
you”ll have fun, and your
children will remember that for
a lifetime. -- Been There

couldn”t have said it better.

January and February calves are
being vaccinated now or will be

variety of vaccines on the
market, it is important to know
how to properly handle each
one, to maximize the potential
benefits of the vaccine.
Improper storage and handling
of vaccines can often result in
reduced effectiveness of the
product.
For every product you use,
always read the label. Every
label should contain handling
and administration instructions.
If
products
require
refrigeration (¾6°-’5°F), make
sure they are refrigerated
immediately after purchase.
Once chuteside with the
product,
maintain
the
refrigerated temperature of the
vaccine by keeping it in a cooler
with ice packs. However, be
cautious not to freeze the
product, which can cause
damage to the vaccine.
If a product is in a brown
bottle, this means the contents
inside can be inactivated by
sunlight. Keep the bottle out of
direct sunlight. Once you draw
from that bottle, be sure to keep
the loaded syringe out of the
sunlight as well.
Modified live viral (MLV)
vaccines require extra attention.

to the vaccine so it is important

Kenton Keith Lawson was
born to John F. and Gladys C.
(Whittle) Lawson on July 28,
1926. He departed this life of 88
years Sunday evening, March
29, 2015 at Hilltop Lodge in
Beloit.
Kent, as he was known and
loved by all, was born and
raised in Stockton. He came
from a family of stock farmers
and stone cutters and attended
Stockton High School. Kent
served in the U.S. Navy from
October 1944 to June 1946 and
served aboard the USS DuPage
in the south Pacific. He was
hugely proud of his Navy
service.
It was on October 3, 1953,
that he married Enid “Sandy”
Lucille Caroline Waara at
Ketchikan,
Alaska.
Four
children, John, Jay, Michael,
Lanna and Kim, were later
added to this happy union.
While Kent and his wife lived
in a number of places over the
years, most of his life was spent
in Stockton where he and Sandy
managed
the
J-Mart
convenience store. After many
successful years, they retired
and ultimately moved to Beloit
to be near family in 2004.
Kent had an ornery side and
liked to play jokes on the
children. He would throw
firecrackers under the bed to
get them up in the morning,
stuff the toes of their shoes with
paper so it was difficult to get
them on, as well as several
other tricks he liked to pull. In
their younger years, he and his
family enjoyed digging Snake
Root. He also enjoyed
gardening. He was never one to
just sit still and often helped
neighbors.
In Stockton, he and his
family
attended
the
Congregational Church.
He was preceded in death by
his wife and love of his life,
Sandy; his parents, John and
Gladys Lawson; one son, John
Jay; one brother, Marvin M.
Lawson; and one grandson,
Kevin Lawson.
Left to mourn his death and
celebrate his life are his
children, Michael (Cathy)
Lawson, Alamogordo, N.M.,
Kim (Chris) Jones and Lanna
(Dick) Myers, all of Beloit; one
brother, Jack (Peggy) Lawson,
Newkirk, Okla.; three sisters-inlaw, Lollie DeBeck, Green Bay,
Wis., Betty Waara, Negaunee,
Mich., and Joan Lawson,
Colorado
Springs,
Colo.;
grandchildren,
Mack
and
Richard Lawson, Nina Black,
Jason Myers, Jennifer Spicher,
Sumi Sneath, Tracy Marsh,
John and Erin Lawson; many
great-grandchildren;
others
relatives and friends.
Cremation was chosen and
there will be no services or
visitation. Burial services will
take place in Stockton in the
near future. Memorials may be
given to the Post Rock Humane
Society.

Jonathan Truman and Weston Hiebert
By Ron Wilson, director of
the Huck Boyd National
Institute for Rural
Development at Kansas
State University
“The Back Stops Here.” No,
that’s not quite right. The
famous saying was “The Buck
Stops Here.” It was President
Harry S. Truman who put that
sign on his desk in the White
House in the 1940s to appeal to
people who were tired of
politicians
avoiding
responsibility by “passing the
buck.” Today, however, I am
referring to a different Truman.
This Truman plays football. As
a linebacker, part of his
responsibility is to keep the
running backs from advancing
the ball. His teammate plays on
special teams to stop the
returner, so it might be said that
“The Back Stops Here” could
be their motto.
Jonathan Truman and Weston
Hiebert are captains for the KState football team. They are
examples of Kansas kids who
were walk-ons to the program
and
have
become
key
contributors.Ê
Jonathan Truman - no
relation to the former President
- grew up near Wichita. His
parents are Tom and Jane
Truman.
At Kapaun Mt. Carmel High
School, Jonathan was a threeyear letter winner and an allstate linebacker as a senior. He
led his team to three straight
district championships and was
a state champion wrestler in
2010.
None of that translated into
football scholarship offers from
Division I teams, however. He
took the opportunity to walk on
at Kansas State. He redshirted
and eventually worked his way
onto the field, contributing on
special teams and earning a
scholarship.
In 2013, he earned the
starting nod at linebacker. In
2014, he was voted as a team
captain.Ê During his junior
season, he started every game
and was second on the team in
tackles. As a senior, during the
Oklahoma game, he recorded a
career-high 17 tackles –
accomplishing as many tackles
in one game as he had all
season in 2011.
His family lives in the
community of Kechi near
Wichita. Kechi is a town of
1,072 people.Ê That’s rural –
but there’s more.
Weston Hiebert also grew up
in central Kansas. His parents
are Myron and Ann Hiebert.
This family lives near the rural
community
of
Goessel,
population 561 people. Now,
that’s rural.
In fact, it is so rural that the
local high school didn’t have
enough players to play 11-man
football.Ê As do many of the
smallest rural schools, Goessel
played eight-man.
At Goessel High School,
Weston was a four-year
letterman. He was a three-time
all-league linebacker and tight
end and a first team all-state
linebacker. Weston set the
career tackle record at Goessel
with 389 stops while forcing 18
fumbles and intercepting nine
passes. He led his team to four
league championships, four
district championships and two
bi-district championships.
Not many eight-man schools
have athletes who advance to
the Big 12 level, but Weston
made the transition. He became
a walk on at Kansas State
where he is majoring in
agricultural
economics.Ê
Weston has made tremendous
contributions in two areas: One
is the classroom and the other
is on special teams. Weston has
made first-team Academic AllBig 12 two years in a row.
He also became a key
contributor on special teams.
During 2013, he was second on
the team in special teams
tackles. Against Texas Tech, he
recovered an onside kick to
protect a lead. In the Baylor
game, he blocked a punt which
led to a K-State touchdown two
plays later. That is a remarkable
accomplishment for a player
who had never played 11-man
football before coming to
Kansas State.
His contributions have not
gone unnoticed. He was elected
by his peers as a player
representative.Ê In spring 2014,
he was named the special teams
captain, making him and
Jonathan Truman two of the six
captains on the team.Ê
“The Back Stops Here.” No,
it’s not quite the famous slogan
of President Truman, but it
might be an appropriate theme
for Jonathan Truman and his
teammate Weston Hiebert. We
commend these two young men
and other athletes who are
making a difference with their
hard work, competitiveness,
and commitment. With these
two playing on defense, they
can assure opposing teams that
“The Back Stops here.” ÊÊ
