Drought impact:
Hay costs soar
Fire destroys
iconic
Welda steakhouse
Cost to feed livestock
doubled as drought
enters third year
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT For the most
part, livestock owners will pay
extremely high hay prices to
keep their animals healthy
this winter, a local agriculture
expert says.
Prices for hay for cattle and
horses are now about twice the
cost of a typical year, thanks to
a drought that could be headed
into its third year. Yet, most
farmers and ranchers are paying the price rather than drastically reducing their herds, said
Shannon Blocker, agriculture
agent with K-State Research and
Extension in Anderson County.
The thing about cattle and
horses, people who have them
want to have them so they will
choose to pay more than they
should sometimes, Blocker
said. They dont feel the same
way about hogs, for example.
Blocker has not heard of
local ranchers making significant changes to their livestock
herds because of high hay prices, although owners likely are
being more conservative with
their feed supplies.
Hay prices have essentially
doubled this winter, depending
on the type of hay, its quality
and quantity needed. As of Feb.
5, prices for small squares of
bluestem hay, good quality, were
between $140 to $160 per ton and
has been as high as $170 per ton.
Compare that to a cost of about
$60 to $90 in a typical summer,
Blocker said. Large round bales
of brome range between $110 to
$150, although some lower quality bales can be found for $90.
When you need it in smaller packages, you pay more,
Blocker said.
Most horse owners and small
cattle operations will buy small
squares in smaller quantities,
and they typically will need

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 02-12-2013 / Dane Hicks
The burned out metal frame of the 1950s diner moved from Thayer to Welda is all that remains of the former Circle B
Steakhouse that served Welda and other area residents for many years until it was sold a couple of years ago. FIre officials
say the cause of the fire is not determined, but may have been caused by lightning.
Former owner recalls buildings later history
Lightning likely caused
early morning fire, according
to county fire official
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WELDA An iconic Welda business
was lost to fire Thursday morning.
Fire officials say its not clear
how the fire started at the former
steakhouse and diner on U.S. 169 at
Welda, but it is believed lightning
may have been responsible. The fire
occurred about 5:30 a.m. Thursday
during a thunderstorm. By the time
firefighters arrived, the structures
were fully engulfed, Anderson County
Emergency Management Director
Marvin Grimes said.
The building actually consisted of
two structures and an attached shed,
and for many years was known as the
Circle B Steakhouse. Former owner
Joy Brownrigg, Ottawa, said she sold
the building to Robert Staadt about
two years ago. The building had been
primarily used for storage for the past
few years.
Brownrigg said she and her late
husband, Dean, purchased the build-
ing around 1972 to open a steakhouse.
The building had existed in Welda
for many years before that, and she
remembers it was known as the
Hilltop Tavern when she was in high
school. She doesnt know much of its
early history, but remembers it was
known as a pretty wild place before
she and her husband bought it. The
business did not serve as a tavern
under the Brownriggs ownership.
Brownriggs parents, Ted and
Winifred Martin, managed the restaurant for many years, while Brownrigg
took care of the paperwork and administrative side. The business originally
was purchased because her father was
forced to retire for health reasons.
Brownrigg and her husband lived in
Ottawa, so the arrangement worked
well.
The steakhouse became a popular spot for diners in the area, drawing good lunch crowds from employees at the gas company nearby and
good weekend dinner crowds from
Garnett.
At some point, Brownrigg thought
an old-fashioned diner would be a
good complement to the steakhouse.
She and her husband purchased a
1950s metal-frame diner and moved it
from Thayer to Welda. They invested
a considerable amount of money into
the diner, but it never quite matched
the success of the steakhouse. Even
so, the old-fashioned diner was quite
popular in its own way, at least for
travelers who often stopped and took
pictures of it. The metal diner section
is still distinguishable in the ruins of
the fire.
As time passed, hours were scaled
back at the steakhouse until it opened
only on weekends, then sporadically.
Brownrigg began to use the building
for storage of antiques she collected, but maintained all the appropriate licenses to open the restaurant
if needed. Brownrigg said she still
owned some equipment in the buildings that was not included in the sale,
but had been unable to remove it.
Everything inside the building was
lost in the fire.
Last week, after the structure
burned, Brownrigg stopped at the site
on her way to Iola and took pictures.
One thing stuck out.
The old door to the kitchen would
never set plumb, she said. When we
stopped, I noticed the door was still
there and it still didnt fit right.
BCI Broadband to take
over Allegiance cable
services in Garnett
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT City leaders and
interested residents will have a
chance to hear from the citys
new cable service provider at
tonights city commission meeting at 6 p.m. at Garnett City
Hall.
A representative from BCI
Broadband, which is in the
process of buying Allegiance
Communications, will discuss
the companys plans and answer
questions.
BCI announced Jan. 16 that
it would acquire Allegiance, an
Oklahoma-based company that
provides Internet, cable television and digital phone services
in Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas
and Texas. Allegiance has
served Garnett residents since
May 2004. The city receives 3
percent of revenue as part of
the franchise agreement, which
amounted to $10,175 last year
and about $14,000 the previous
year. City commissioners are
expected to discuss a franchise
agreement with the new companys representative tonight, and
could approve the agreement at
the next meeting Feb. 26. The
agreement wont have any significant changes for the city.
BCI has announced plans
to provide high-speed Internet

when voters were required to
present photo identification at
the polls.
Under the new rules, anyone who registers to vote must
present proof of citizenship. In
most instances, it will require
simply providing a drivers
license or non-driver identification card issued by the state.
If a drivers license isnt
available, a birth certificate,
passport or other types of identification are acceptable. The
change wont affect anyone
who already is registered to
vote.
Kansas Secretary of State
Kris Kobach ran for election in
2010 with the promise of stopping voter fraud by reforming
voter identification. Kobach
and supporters say his new
requirements will secure the
integrity of the voting process.

better quality hay. That means
theyll pay more. Many horse,
dairy cow and goat owners, for
example, prefer alfalfa. But the
cost of alfalfa is extremely high
about $300 per ton because
most high-quality alfalfa is
grown in southwest Kansas and
includes shipping costs.
Blocker also cautions that
livestock owners need to be
careful of the quality of hay
out there. If the cost of the hay
is low, chances are it was baled
at a time when quality suffered.
She recommends buying forage
tests, which range from about
$8 to test for protein only or
about $12 to test for protein and
other nutrients.

but you cant tell everything.
Some of the small buyers are
also the least experienced at
looking at it, she said.
Producers have been fortunate to have another relatively
mild winter, and recent rains of
nearly two inches are encouraging for the hay crop that will
begin this spring. Barring a
major winter event like the blizzard that recently struck the
northeast U.S., hay supplies
should last through this winter even if drought continues
into this summer. But Blocker
warns that while quantity may
be there for another drought,
the quality of reserve supplies
typically is much lower.
If youre willing to pay for
it, its there, she said.

The real test of women
in combat is whether it
makes our military stronger
The feminism of the past 50 years
in the United States may have rightfully pursued and achieved equal pay
and equal advancement opportunities
for women, but
it didnt increase EDITORIAL
womens muscle
mass.
That isnt sexism, its realitythe same reality
that determines
advantages in
front-line, on the
ground combat
deployments and
an advantage- in
general termsby Dane Hicks,
for men in those
PUBLISHER
positions.
Thats why in the recently
announced policy shift by The
Pentagon in opening combat posts for
women should be approached from
a position of standards, not sex, and
whether judgments there are based in
making the U.S. military stronger and
not in some charade of domestic politics.
To date, physical standards between
men and women recruits are relaxed
in all military services as well as the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and the
U.S. Secret Service, among others. In
missions where brain power matters as
much or more than muscle that policy
of inclusion is beneficial and strengthening. In reverse, its most assuredly an
additional liability and a threat not just
to the other members of an advanced
team but the furthering of the mission
itself.
That illustrates the fine line for
the change in policy and the importance in how it is approached by top
brass at The Pentagon: if the policy is
approached in the vein of not excluding women who qualify from those
positions- with the same standards
still intact with no reduction in qualifications- all well and good. But to
approach the policy from the standpoint of forced inclusion in some misguided effort to make combat positions
more fair, as previous gender policy
has been mandated from government
jobs hiring all the way down to Title IX
in college and high school sports, is a
recipe for disaster in combat scenarios.
There is much to be said for the
back office work of the modern U.S.
military, from surveillance and intelligence analysis to technology deployment to the piloting of drone aircraft
and beyond. But the point of spear
as evidenced in the Seal Team 6 mission that killed Osama bin Laden, is
still hard, gritty, muscular soldiering.
Women- and men- who do it must be up
for the job.

Marco Rubios bad deal
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
In Washington, a new gang has been
born. The Gang of Eight on immigration
is here to tell us that we have succeeded
in not enforcing the law so persistently
and thoroughly that now we have to give
up all pretense.
The Gang of Eight,
headlined by conservative star Marco Rubio,
wants to amnesty the
11 million immigrants
who are already here as
a product of past nonenforcement in exchange
Lowry
for a promise of future
enforcement.
Supporters of comprehensive immigration reform resolutely refuse to say
the word amnesty. They contend that
the proposed package is not an amnesty
because illegal immigrants have to go
to the back of the line for a green card.
But before that happens, they get probationary legal status. As a practical
matter, this is the amnesty.
Sen. Chuck Schumer states it with
admirable clarity: On Day One of our
bill, the people without status (i.e., illegal immigrants) who are not criminals
or security risks will be able to live and
work here legally. You cant get more
direct than that.
Once an illegal immigrant gets probationary legal status, he has jumped
irrevocably ahead of all those poor saps
back in their native countries who want
to come to the U.S. but for whatever reason were unwilling or unable to break
our immigration laws to do it.
All indications are that this kind
of probationary legal status matters
more to illegal immigrants than an
eventual path to citizenship. In an essay
in the journal National Affairs, immigration expert Peter Skerry points out
that 20 years after the implementation
of the 1986 amnesty, only 41 percent of
the 2.7 million people who got legal status under the program had gone on to
become citizens.
The Gangs enforcement triggers
affect only the path to citizenship. In
principle, the enforcement provisions
— requiring use of the E-Verify system
for employers and establishing a system
to monitor entries and exits from the
country — are worthwhile. But only a
naif would have much confidence in
their timely and effective implementation.
As Mark Krikorian of the Center
for Immigration Studies points out,
Congress has already required the completion of an entry-exit system six times.
To no avail. It passed a law in 2006 calling for the completion of a double-layer
border fence. Also, to no avail.
Weve been here before, with the
Immigration Reform and Control Act of
1986. Rubio calls the 1986 law a blanket
amnesty, even though, on his terms, it
wasnt unconditional or immediate. To
apply for legal status, illegal immigrants
had to pay a fee and prove that they had
good moral character. If approved — and
not everyone was — they had to wait
18 months before applying for a green
card.
All of this was coupled with fearsome-sounding enforcement provisions
to beef up security at the border and
crack down on employers hiring illegal
workers. In other words, in broad brush,
the blanket amnesty of 1986 is indistinguishable from the bipartisan principles of 2013. Since the enforcement
never happened, the 1986 law stands as
a monument to bad faith.
Washington may be about to build
another one.

Review.
If this wasnt the only newspaper
that will cover the Kincaid local news
I would gladly quit subscribing. I do
not care for the manner in which you
constantly bad mouth the Democrats
and this president of the United
States. You Republican Tea Party are
a bunch of cutthroat criminals that
would deprive people of any money
to live on, namely the old veterans,
senior citizens, the handicapped, the
disabled veteran and would put them
out in the gutter and starve them to
death. You are only for a government
of the rich to the rich and for the
rich and to hell with the Latinos, the
women the Black and the Oriental.
You know-it-all smart (deleted) need
a butt kicking. The ugly truth is that
Christ was a Democrat liberal not a
wicked conservative cutthroat Tea
Party Republican like you.
Rain, glorious rain. Pray for a little
more.
In the UK they dont even prescribe
ADD medication because they say
they are overused in the United
States.
I love the deep rumbling of many
motorcycles. I love the American
flag. I love the Patriot Guard.
To the idiots that are constantly
breaking glass along the rail trail
here in the city limits: If I catch you
doing it, Ill put some of that glass in
part of your anatomy that rhymes
with glass. Thank you.
The best argument against democracy is a
five-minute conversation with the average

WINSTON CHURCHILL
Sister: Crest basketball coach is not a bully
Unlike the cowardly action of the
person who sent in to Phone Forum
last week, I am, and will always be, very
proud to sign my name to my statements regarding the Crest Basketball
Coach, my brother. He does have a very
intense love of the game and for his players. Bullying? Are you really going to
play that card? Wanting to bring out the
absolute best that every player has and
showing them potential they never knew
existed is a LONG way from bullying. He
loves his past and present players as his
own. Yes, he will promise them that they
will run their tails off the next day after
a half-hearted game, and yes, he will yell
at them. My coaches did too. All good
coaches do. But can the Crest Lancers
pull a lead in the 3rd and 4th quarter
because of great conditioning and outlast their opponent when all is said and
done… sure can! Do any of the players
oppose of that benefit when they pull out
the win or come close? I never did. None
of the players faces have reflected an
opposition in the last 6 years either. In
fact, check out our records for the past 6
years versus any other in Crest history.
Obviously hes not too mean or a bully.
Players are mature enough to know it
takes hard work to have a successful
season and have proven that its worth
the hard work to earn those awards and
memories. He puts together, on his own
time and expense, scrap books for every
single player, every year, no matter how
successful or unsuccessful the season is.
He gives them that gift so they will have
those memories the rest of their lives.
How unselfish! That is a lot of work and
is just one of many of the extras he
provides out of dedication to those boys.
Perhaps before blowing things way
out of proportion from the outside looking in, the caller should read the amazing
documentaries of Micah Smith written
as the team manager from a few years
ago to really know the inspiring words
that take place between the Coach and
the players in the locker room, during
games and at practices. Or possibly talk
to the players themselves. From the way
the players conduct themselves and hold
their heads high (referring to present
and past players) and give it their all,
it is obvious that they have been built
up in great confidence of their abilities
and that their Coach has faith in them.
He would fight to the bitter end for any
of them regardless if they are the best
player on the team or the worst and they
all know that. And thats abusing our
kids?
The caller refers to the fact that we
should be strong? Then sign your
name! Have you bothered talking to him
regarding your concerns before blasting
it on Phone Forum? Nope! So as for he
has been allowed to disrespect the Crest
name for so long…. you just showed
your major disrespect for our wonderful
school and all involved by airing dirty
laundry in a cowardly unsigned forum.
Our school doesnt deserve that. You, by
now, should know the proper chain of
command for cares and concerns if you
respect our school. Attending Crest from
Kindergarten through graduation, working hard and being a standout athlete as
well as holding class offices, etc., only
to return to our district with a beautiful wife (and awesome teacher for our
district) as well as blessing our district
with four students seems like someone
who is very, very proud of the Crest
name. That disrespect remark is 100%
repulsive and offensive. Also, about the
remark that you dont want your younger children to see this coach have anger
tantrums …well, that Phone Forum rant
that his younger children saw, portraying him as a monster, just ripped the
hearts out of four little kids. Real cool,
perhaps that was bullying. Hmmm…..
Perhaps the timing of this issue is an
attempt to squelch another wonderful
season for the boys. Its puzzling why it
is of issue all of a sudden. Sure makes a
person wonder about motives.
In conclusion, I am proud to call the
Crest Basketball Coach my brother. Hold
your head high, TJ, keep putting in the
hours upon hours of off the clock
time for the love of your players, love of
the game and love of our most awesome
Crest USD 479. As a matter of fact, we do
think youre great.
GO LANCERS!

History
A gang of Santa Fe workers constructed a building for
a new apartment house for
Mexican laborers in the early
days of Colony history. It was
located near the railroad tracks
on what is now Indiana Road,
one-half block south of the
City of Colony. The Santa Fe
workers built it of hollow tile,
which contained eight rooms,
strung in a row. The sidewalls
were plastered and it had a
cement floor. The gang came
from Humboldt to Colony then
moved on to Emporia.
This building was used as a
chicken hatchery owned and
operated by George Chatterton
and Herbert Henderson in the
1920s. The George Chatterton
family also had a small hatchery
in their home, which was located on East Broad Street. Many
recall when it was occupied by
the late Glenn and Marguerite
Williams and was torn down
when the Crest Unified District
No. 479 purchased the property.
George Chatterton operated
hatcheries for Potters several
places in Kansas and Colorado.

The restoration of Israel
In chapter 37 of the book
of Ezekiel the prophet states
that the hand of the Lord was
upon him and brought him out
into the middle of the valley
and the valley was full of dry
bones. The valley referenced
here is probably the Kidron
Valley east of Jerusalem.
Ezekiel is once again shown
a vision by the Lord. A valley
full of bones bleached dry by
the sun.
The Lord then asks Ezekiel.
Son of man can these bones
live? And I (Ezekiel) answered
O Lord God you know.
Having had multiple visions
from God Ezekiel knew that
God was going to put life in
these bones. God then tells
Ezekiel to, Prophesy over
these bones. Ezekiel did as
the Lord had commanded
him. And there was a sound
and behold, a rattling, and the
bones came together, bone
to its bone. And I (Ezekiel)
looked and behold, there were
sinews on them, and flesh had
come upon them, and skin had
covered them. But there was
no breathe in them.
Weekly
Devotional
by David Bilderback
God then has Ezekiel prophesy to the breathe and through
the power of the Holy Spirit
breathe came into them and
they lived and stood on their
feet, an exceedingly great
army. Through this vision
God shows Ezekiel how he will
once again restore the nation
of Israel.
After the death of Solomon
the nation had split into the
northern and the southern kingdom. The northern
kingdom fell to the Assyrians
almost a century and a half
before the fall of the southern kingdom to Babylon.
God then goes on to reveal to
Ezekiel how he (God) will take
the people from the nations
which they have been exiled
to and bring them into their
own land.
God said he would make
an everlasting covenant with
the nation of Israel. This covenant was confirmed by the
offering of Christs blood on
the cross. In looking to the
future restoration of Israel
God then states, My dwelling
place shall be with them, and
I will be their God and they
shall be my people.
The Exile of the nation of
Israel came about as a result
of the cumulative guilt of
generations of Israelites who
had lived in rebellion against
God and his law. This pattern
of sin, judgment and restoration is throughout the Old
Testament. God is holy. Sin
is contrary to his holiness and
God will judge sin. God rules
over the affairs and destiny
not only of Israel but also all
other nations. God uses judgment as a way to purge nations
and individuals thus preparing them to live in obedience
before him.

Ministry on the Holiness of
God.

Miller attends KLA conference
TOPEKA – Robert Miller of
Garnett attended the Kansas
Livestock Association (KLA)
Leadership Conference in
Topeka. He was among 15 producers to participate in the
event, which is designed to
expose attendees to services provided by KLA and the National
Cattlemens Beef Association,
the legislative process, industry
advocacy and various aspects of
beef marketing.
The group attended a Senate
Agriculture Committee meeting
and heard from KLA lobbyists
on how they protect member
interests during the legislative
process. Conference attendees also had a chance to meet
with their respective legislators
to discuss important beef and
dairy industry issues.
As a part of the conference, members took part in an
interactive advocacy training
session led by KLA staff and
WIBW-Topeka farm broadcasters Kelly Lenz and Greg Akagi.
Participants were given an
overview of the importance of
being an industry advocate and
the various social media outlets available to help them reach
consumers who want to know
more about how and where their
food is produced. Debbie LyonsBlythe, a rancher from White
City, shared with the group how
she has implemented advocacy
into her daily routine through
Facebook, Twitter and, most
notably, the use of her blog,
Life on a Kansas Cattle Ranch.
Lyons-Blythe regularly reaches
thousands of consumers across
the U.S. with her positive messages.
The class immediately put
this training to work while distributing samples of flat iron
and ribeye steaks to consumers
at Dillons and Hy-Vee grocery
stores. They answered customer
questions about beef nutrition
and cooking methods.
Class members also visited
U.S. Foods and Texas Roadhouse
to learn more about how beef
is sold at the foodservice level.
Additionally, Chef Alli Winter
conducted a cooking demonstration for the group where she
prepared an appetizer, soup and
sandwich using various cuts of
beef.
This years class brings the
total number of graduates of the
leadership training program to
632 since it was initiated in 1981.
Sponsors of the annual event
included Central Life Sciences;
Farm Credit Associations
of Kansas; Kennedy and Coe,
LLC; and the Kansas Livestock
Foundation.
KLA is a trade organization
representing the states livestock
business on legislative, regulatory and industry issues at both
the state and federal levels.

Crest falls to Chetopa 62-55
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – Kyle Hammond
blistered Chetopa for 6 threepointers on his way to 30 points
on the night but it wasnt
enough to thwart a consistent
Hornet offense that dealt the
Lancers a 62-55 homecoming
loss.
Chetopas defense locked
down on Crest right away,
holding the Lancers to only 7
points in the first quarter while
Hornets Riddle and Cassell
fired at will to help Chetopa
earn 15 points in the period.
The Hornets held a 32-20 lead
at the half and though the
Lancers staged a second half
comeback they could never
erase the deficit. Lancer head
coach Travis Herrmeck said he
saw his teams timing was off.
We havent been playing
very well, Hermreck said.
Chetopa definitely exploit-
ed some of our weaknesses.
Offensively we are way too
impatient and defensively we
arent getting our jobs done.
Hammond led with a seasonhigh 30 points. Jesse Boone had
12, Jordan Morton 9 and Brock
Ellis 4.
Vikes seize win over PV 68-55
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
LaCYGNE – Prairie View played
some steady, hard basketball
Tuesday night and pulled within 4 of seizing the lead from
Central Heights until momentum shifted back to the Vikings.
CHHS took the win 68-55.
Jordan Horstick and Tanner
Erhart combined for 18 of the
Vikings 21. PV only put up 12
ponts and it looked like the
beginning of a runaway for
the Vikings, but the Buffaloes
tightened down on defense and
mounted a comeback. It was 3628 at halftime.
We got out of character
for a couple of possessions to
start the fourth period, said
coach Rusty Cannady. they
cut the lead to four and then
our seniors Trever Burkdoll
and Drew Beckwith came up
with two big plays to shift the
momentum back to us.
Burkdoll hit a three pointer
and Beckwith turned a steal
into a fast layup to bring the
Viking lead to 9. Horstick later
got fouled on a bucket and sunk
a freethrow for three more
points, and Burkdoll drilled

IOLA – The Central Heights
boys nabbed a 10-or-so point
cushion by mid-game Friday
against Iola and held on to a
53-45 win.
The Vikings led 33-22 at
the half but couldnt couldnt
widen the margin against
Iolas tough defensive play.
The Vikings boosted their own
level of defensive as well, and
according to head coach Rusty
Cannady, it may have been the
most well-rounded ball his
team has played all season.
We played total team
defense throughout and
shared the basketball as well
as we have all year, said coach
Rusty Cannady. Our scoring
was balanced and we never
panicked with their pressure.
The Vikes were 100 percent
from the free-throw line at
12/12 until the waning seconds
of the game. They stayed just
enough ahead to preserve the
margin, answering Iolas every
run with a big bucket or points
from the charity stripe to slow
the Mustang momentum.
Cannady said he was

their school spirit.

Teacher wrote account of Bealer schoolhouse fire
There is an old saying that
goes something like this: If one
hangs around long enough, history will repeat itself.
This weeks column is a fantastic handwritten account of
the destruction by fire of one of
Anderson Countys very early
rural schoolhouses. Jeanette
Velthoen, teacher at District 5
Bealer School, wrote this eyewitness account of this fire
that destroyed Bealer school in
February 1942. In her very own
words, this is the record of her
account:
Fire at Bealer
I did not suspicion, as I
walked to school on a snowy
February morning, that there
was anything but a common
day of teaching ahead of me.
A brisk, north wind was blowing.
One of the first days of the
new wartime found me arriving a little later than usual. I
started a quick fire in the new
stove, and soon the smoke was
rolling up the recently constructed chimney.
When nine oclock came,
the pupils and I set busily to
work. About an hour later, I
noticed the stove was smoking
a little. This was a common
occurrence, so I did my best
to get it stopped, and we went
on with the classes. The smoke
soon began to come from the
window casings and little holes
in the plaster. I opened all the
windows, while the five school
children put on their coats.
Something had to be done
about all that smoke! Therefore,
the only thing to do was to
send Donald, a third grader,
one half a mile to the nearest
house to telephone for some
help.
Meanwhile, I instructed the
other four children to carry
their books out to the coal
shed. Not a second did they
waste, not a panic-stricken cry
did they give, each just scurried about like busy little firemen.
Smoke was filling the whole
room but there were no flames
inside or out. Not one of us
really thought that our schoolhouse would burn.
In a few minutes, I thought
that the next thing to do was to
get the things out of my desk.
Then I decided that we would
just carry the drawers out with
everything in them. But when
we came to do it, we just picked
up the whole desk and moved
it out.
Flames started breaking out
on the outside wall. The children started coughing, because
the smoke hurt their throats,
yet nobody came to help us.
We carried water, but we were
not able to throw it to the roof.

for local archeology information.
Finally, we began to realize
that the building was going to
burn down for sure.
Suddenly, Darlene shouted,
Oh! I forgot my snow pants!
And away she went into that
smoky house to get them. In an
instant, she was out again with
her prized snow pants.
When a few men finally
arrived, they were too late to
do any good at putting out the
fire or getting furniture out
either. While our feet froze and
our faces roasted, we stood in
the cold snow and watched the
flames eat up the roof little by
little. Rafters fell, and through
the flames we could catch
glimpses of familiar belongings crumbling in the fire.
Suddenly, Harold saw the
flag on the flagpole about nine
feet from the fire. The first
thing I knew, he was taking the
flag down. It got very hot for
him, and the smoke was hurting his eyes, so that he could
not see what he was doing.
Then Darlene ran to help him,
and together they rescued the
flag. The fire took the Bealer
schoolhouse and many of our
valued possessions, but these
young Americans did not let
the Stars and Stripes burn
while they stood and watched
helplessly.
-Jeanette Velthoen,
June 1942
The Bealer School
This story would not be
complete unless I shared the
early history of Bealer school,
as written in the book entitled,
A History of Anderson County,
Kansas, by Harry Johnson.
This historical account covers
the years 1858 through 1933
and was written by Louise
Thompson Knight, teacher.
Bealer was organized in
December, 1858. It was named
for William Bealer, a resident
of the district for many years,
and a board member for some
time. Before a school was organized at Bealer, a subscription
school was held. The parents
paid a dollar a month for each
child. For a while, the school
was held around at various
parents houses, but later a
one-room, log schoolhouse was
built in the hollow one-fourth
mile north of the present
Bealer schoolhouse (remember
Jeanette Velthoen
what year this was written).
It was so located because of
a spring from which drinking water was obtained. A
huge fireplace stood against
the north wall and tiny fourpaned windows that slid back
and forth were on the east and
west sides.
The school desks and seats
were of logs split in half. Pegs
were driven into the logs. The
floor was of puncheon or logs
split in half with the splintery
side up. (Many old timers could
testify how carefully they had to
cross that old puncheon floor as
everybody excepting the teacher
went barefoot most of the term.)
There were no pictures on the
walls. For fuel, the school was
furnished long logs which had
to be cut into proper lengths,
about three or four feet long,
for the fireplace. This bit of
good, healthful exercise was
bestowed upon the teacher
or larger boys, who attended
irregularly until they were 25
years old.
There were 35 or 40 pupils
who attended this school and
at first they only had terms
of two months. Later they had
two, sometimes three terms in
what we now call a term. Only
the smaller children attended
the entire term, as the older
pupils were required to aid
their parents with farm labor.
At Christmastime, they had a
vacation of two weeks or longer.
This first log schoolhouse
burned down (remember, history is repeating itself) and a
new frame building was built
on the Ike Paul farm, onefourth mile south and onefourth mile west of the present Bealer schoolhouse. C.T.
Chapin of Garnett had the
contract for building the first
frame schoolhouse. Charles
Wolfey and Jerry Orton were
the carpenters. They boarded
at William Bealers while they
did the work. This building was
the schoolhouse many years.
On April 3, 1874, the district
voted to move the schoolhouse

to a more central location or
build a new structure after the
summer term. It was located
30 rods east of center section
25, township 20, range 20. This
is where the present Bealer
schoolhouse now stands (1933).
The old building was moved to
the Ike Osborne farm. It is now
owned by J.H. Frankenberger.
The present or second frame
building has been built about
52 years and has had various
improvements. The reason for
such a location is the excellent,
never-failing spring about two
rods northwest of the building
(destroyed by fire, 1940s).
The very first teacher was
Phoebe Wright.
This weeks article would not
be complete without my personal thank you to Mr. Jim Katzer
of Osawatomie for sharing the
account of the Bealer school
fire of 1942. Thank you greatly,
Jim.

Old Blue, come here Old Blue, called Charlie
for his dog from the front porch of the house. It
was a cold and rainy day outside and tonight was
the night of the big hunt in Kentucky. Charlie and
his dad were getting everything ready for the big
night. Charlies mother was inside cooking dinner. She cooked Charlies
favorite, fried chicken.
Charlie and his dad ate it
all before they left.
While Charlie and
his dad were driving to
Kentucky they were listening to the weather channel
on the radio. They heard it
was supposed to get down
to 12 degrees outside and
the wind chill was supposed to be 11 degrees below zero.
By the time they got there it was about 7:30 p.m.
Charlie went to go get him and his dad signed up
for the hunt. After they got signed up they started
to get everything on. They put their waders on,
they got their coats on, they got their hard hats
with a flashlight on top on, and last but not least,
they got the gun out of the truck.
Charlie and his dad got paired up with two
other families. One of them was a man named
Mike and he had a son named Brice. The other
family, well, was just one guy and his name was
Bob. After Bob met Mike and Mike met Charlies
dad and Charlies dad met Bob and Brice met
Charlie they went off to hunt in order to when
you had the biggest coon.
The deadline was 1:00 a.m. So then they set
off and they drove north, then turned east and
turned into a field and parked the truck at the
edge of some timber. Everybody got out of the
vehicles. Charlie got Old Blue out of his dog box
(the dog box sits in the back of the truck). Bob
did the same with his dog Copperhead as well
as Brice did with his dog Roxi. After they got all
of their dogs out of the dog boxes they cut the

Charlie.
Woof woof woof went Roxi, ar ar ar went
Copperhead, and howl howl howl went Old
Blue. Theyre treed, said Mike. Youre darn
right they are, said Charlies dad. Ill bet its a
big one, said Brice. Ill bet youre right, said
Charlie. Well, theres only one way to find out,
said Bob. Ill get the gun, said Charlie. The five
walked into the timber while following the dogs
barking. They walked through through bushes,
twigs, cedar trees, and walked up a steep hill.
They finally got to the tree and all the dogs
were circled, barking up at the tree like crazy.
The tree had two gigantic raccoons in it. But right
at the same time, rain started pouring down and
wind was blowing like crazy. Theres a storm
coming I think, hollered Brice over the screeching wind. Lets get the dogs but leave the coons
and go to the truck, yelled Charlies dad.
They couldnt see anything and they were all
literally freezing to death. They decided to just
stay where they were for the night and go back in
the morning. So they all snuggled in a hole at the
bottom of a tree. They tried to get as warm and as
comfortable as possible. The night was cold and
fierce.
In the morning everything was really damp
and their dogs had run away. So they got out from
inside the bottom of the tree. They started to walk
north, then west, and never found the truck. Brice
and Charlie started to complain about breakfast.
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP Wake up Charlie, Charlies
mother said. Charlie sat up from his bed and said,
What a dream!

Once upon a time there was
a girl named Lucy. She was
on her way to get a cheeseburger. She wanted to get
the best cheeseburger ever
so she went all over the world
tasting every cheeseburger
in restaurants all over the
world.
When she was in Brazil they had a special
cheeseburger called the Monster Cheeseburger.
Lucy ordered the Monster Cheeseburger. It took
15 minutes for them to make it. Lucy picked up
the Monster Cheeseburger, but then it came to
life. Lucy was so scared she ran out to her car.
The Monster Cheeseburger was getting closer to
Lucys car so she put the car in reverse and ran
over the Monster Cheeseburger. The Monster
Cheeseburger was smushed.
The restaurant in Brazil took the Monster
Cheeseburger off the menu.
The end.

Have you ever wished on the Halloween star?
Hannah did! Hannah is a five year old girl and she
lives in a castle with her mom. Where is Hannahs
dad you might ask? He
died in a car accident
when she was one.
Fall started, the
leaves were turning red
and yellow. Hannah
rushed into her room to
look at the pretty leaves
outside her window.
It will be Halloween,
her favorite time of
year. Suddenly, her
mom ran into her room.
Tomorrow is Halloween, so do your chores!
NOW! she hissed with anger. Yes, Mom,
Hannah muttered with a soft voice. Well, what
are you waiting for Hannah? yelled her mom.
Then Hannah started to do her chores. She
cleaned the kitchen, bathrooms, and her bedroom. She also washed the dishes and made the
beds. Hannah was tuckered out! Can I have a
break Mom? asked Hannah. No! No! No! You
still have to wash my clothes! she screamed in a
very high voice. No! Mom, No! Hannah argued.
No? she said with confusion. No, dont you
dare say no to me! she scolded. How dare you,
you brat! Go to your room now!
Hannah went to her room and slammed the
door. She felt very good about herself because
that was the first time she had stood up for herself. Then Hannah went to sleep because she was
worn out from doing all the chores.
The next day when Hannah woke up she was
very happy. It was finally Halloween! Yay! Yay!
Its Halloween today, she ran out of her room
screaming with excitement. Hannah! her mom
yelled as she stormed out of her room. Be quiet
and go back to your room, now! Hannah scurried
back to her room as fast as she could.
She decided to clean her room again, because
she was bored. When she finished she cracked her
door open a bit to peak out and look for her mom.
She did not see her so she went into the kitchen
to look for a costume. Hannah saw her mom in
the corner of her eye and quickly turned around.
You are not going to do anything tonight! Now
go to your room! yelled her mom. Hannah ran
to her room and looked for a book to read. There
was only one book on her shelf. Its title was
SpongeBob-SquarePants. She started to read
her book when suddenly she heard laughter
outside her window. Hannah ran to the window
and saw the most beautiful star that she had ever
seen.

Wow she said with amazement. Then Hannah
wished up on the Halloween star. I wish it was
Halloween forever. What Hannah did not know
is that her mom was watching her. Hannah gazed
at the star for a while. She finally got tired and fell
fast asleep.
The next day felt like it was deja-vu. Hannah
did her chores all over again. Her mom said to
her, I know your secret. Now go to the store and
buy me some fresh berries.
Can I please get a book and a toy too, mom?
asked Hannah.
Yes, you can, but you will have to walk.
Hannah ran to the store and bought the berries,
a book, and a Barbie doll. Then she rushed home.
She gave the berries to her mom then ran up to
her room. She started on her new book. All of a
sudden Hannah heard a noise that she had never
heard before. It was Christmas carolers. They
were singing Christmas songs! Hannah opened
the window and said to the three girls, Why are
you singing Christmas carols? It is Halloween.
Okay, thank you very much! the girls said
then ran away. Hannah closed her window and
started to read her new book again. As she read
she got sleepy and fell into a deep sleep. When
Hannah woke up the days started to repeat. She
was getting tired of her mom being mean to her
day after day. Having Halloween every day wasnt
as fun as she thought it would be.
I will have to stay up and wish on the star
again to make this day not happen tomorrow,
Hannah said with a moan. That night she stayed
up and waited for the star. It was getting late
and she was getting tired. Hannah was about to
give up, then suddenly the star appeared right
outside her bedroom window. It looked like it was
close enough to reach out and touch it. Hannah
decided she was ready to make her wish. Dear
Halloween star, I thought it would be fun to have
Halloween every day, but I was wrong. I am getting exhausted from repeating Halloween every
day. Im also getting tired of my mom being so
mean. I wish the days would go back to normal,
Hannah whispered to the star.
Then something magical happened. When
Hannah woke up the next morning she looked out
her window. There was snow on the ground! She
heard a knock at the door and rushed down the
stairs to see who it was. Hannah and her mom got
to the door at the same time. When they opened
it they saw carolers and they began to sing. Im
sorry for all the mean things I have done in the
past couple of months, Hannahs mom said as
she gave her a great big hug.
I forgive you Mom. I promise to never wish on
the Halloween star again, said Hannah.
Oh, Hannah, I love you, replied Hannahs
Mom. Mom gave Hannah a giant hug.
….. but I will wish on the Christmas star!
Hannah said with a wink.

My name is Hayden Hermreck, and
Ive been on vacation for a while now.
Well, actually, I wouldnt consider it a
vacation, more like a trip to New York
City to see my grandmother. I live in
Los Angeles, and I had to fly all the
way across the country to get to New
York. But the sad
thing is, today is
my last day here
in the Big Apple.
I said goodby to
my grandmother when we got
to the airport.
Do you have
everything you need?
Y e s
Grandma. Do you have your backpack? Yes Grandma! Geez, you need
to stop worrying about me so much!
Im sorry Hayden, I just dont know
what I would do if I lost you. Dont
worry, Ill be fine. I gave her a hug
and a kiss and said goodbye again,
then I headed to the plane.
The plane was big on the outside, but
it looked smaller on the inside. Maybe
because it was so cramped because of
all the people, but right now it didnt
really matter. What mattered right
now was trying to find a place to sit. I
saw a window seat, and because I like
window seats, I sat down there. Then
two men in suits came over and sat
down in the seats next to me. As they
started getting comfortable, the man
next to me turned and saw me. Hi
there young man! he said in a dark
voice. Because I was so shy I didnt
say anything. Well, do you speak, or
what? siad the other man. Ye-yes sir,
I talk, I said in a shy voice. Well all
right then! So whats your name son?
My name is Hayden. Well nice to
meet ya! My name is James Robertson,
and his name is Matthew Davis. Nice
to meet you Matthew. Yea, yea, yea,
whatever kid.
What a jerk Matthew Davis is! I
like him more than the very talkative
guy, James Robertson. So what brings
you on this plane on this fine afternoon? Im coming home from my
grandmothers in New York. Oh
yeah? Then where do you live? Los
Angeles. Los Angeles?! Boy, youre
gonna be on this plane for a while!
But Im going to Washington D.C. So
Ill be here a while too. What for?
I asked. Im the worlds most important man! he said. Whats that like,
the president or something? I asked.
No, Im the worlds most important
man. You know, the guy that keeps a
lot of important information. Never
heard of it. Never mind, youre probably too young anyway. So if youre

Ill tell you my

as I can remember. It started
when my mind
was filled with

got to see my

and my brother (Twix). My mom is a pretty white
cat with gray splotches and almond
shaped green eyes. My brother, on the
other hand, looked like my dad (Onyx),
a white cat with orange splotched tangled fur, but he always had a spot on
his nose that made it look like it had a
scab on it. And then I noticed I couldnt
see out of my left eye. My grief quickly
vanished when I saw myself in a pool
of water, I was very pretty indeed. I
had sleek gray fur with one perfect
looking eye and one eye with the pupil
veering off to one side. I started to
meow a bit at my mom to show her I
was hungry and it took a while to get
her attention, but I finally got her to
lie down and feed us. After our morning dose of milk, mom told Twix to
have fun with our dad, while in the
meantime, she said that she was going

the worlds smartest man! Annoyed,
he slumped back in his chair and
kept reading his book about politics
or some boring stuff. Ignore him,
James whispered. He can be a grouch
sometimes. I didnt reply, I just looked
out the window. I didnt even notice we
lifted off. I figured it would have been a
lot bumpier, but I guessed wrong, and
man were we high! The plane I rode to
New York wasnt this high! The clouds
looked so close, like giant cotton balls.
After a little while I got sleepy so I
decided to take a nap.
Everything was quiet. I was sleeping like a baby. But, in my sleep, it was
almost as if I was being moved. Like as
if I was being rocked back and forth,
back and forth. And I could swear I
was hearing a voice, a mans voice.
Suddenly I realized I was hearing a
voice! And I was being rocked back
and forth! I opened my eyes and saw
James shaking me saying, Wake up!
Wake up my boy! Huh? Whats going
on James? Oh good, youre awake.
Cmon, we have got to go! Whats
going on? I asked again. The plane
is running low on fuel and were going
to crash! The pilot just announced it!
Follow me. We got to get to the parachutes! he said. After I heard him say
that, I grabbed my bag and followed
Matthew and James.
As we managed to get through the
crowd of panicking people, we came to
a door. When we approached the door,
a man in a pilots outfit opened it and
came in. Everyone remain calm and
follow me! You must be the pilot, I
said. Yes I am, he replied. Oh good,
I said. Are we going to die?! What
are we going to …. Hey! Matthew
rudely interupted. We dont have time
for twenty questions. If you havent
noticed, were on a crashing plane!
Hes right, said the pilot. Follow me.
The parachutes are through the door
up ahead.
Me, James, Matthew, and a lot of
other people followed the pilot until
we finally made it to the door. Ok,
heres the door. When the pilot tried
to open it, it wouldnt budge. When he
realized it wasnt opening, he reached
in his pocket for his keys and took
them out. But when he put them in
the key hole, it still didnt open. Ahhh
nuts, its jammed! he said. Do any of
you happen to have a magnet? As all
the people searched, I checked in my
backpack and found one. I found one,
but why do you need it? Because the
magnetic pull might open the door, he
answered. I handed him the magnet.
When he stuck the magnet in the key
hole and turned the door knob, the
door opened. Eureka! said the pilot.
Follow me. The parachutes are in this
hatch up ahead.
Finally! James said with relief.
All we have to do now is grab the parachutes, jump off, and were home free!
Everyone else grabbed parachutes and
jumped off. The only ones left were in
the last hatch. When James opened
the hatch, we were all shocked at the
sight of only three parachutes! Three
parachutes…. James muttered. So
who gets one? My backpack was getting heavy, but there was nowhere to
sit it, so I placed it in the parachute
hatch. Well, Matthew piped up. Im
the worlds smartest man, so I have to
live! So long suckers! Then Matthew
grabbed a parachute, opened the door,
and jumped off.
What a jerk, said the pilot. Well,
at least James wont jump, I said.
Well… James said. James, youre
not thinking about what I think you
are, right? Listen kid, I know information, important information, and if
I die, then that important information
would be lost. For Gods sake, Im the
worlds most important man! Think
about it Hayden. Im sorry, but its
mandatory that I live. He grabbed a
parachute and jumped off the plane.
What are we going to do? the pilot
said panicking. I have a family, and a
dog, and two cats. I love them all and I
really want to see them, and go to my
awesome house and enjoy my life! I
was panicking also, but then I realized
something. Actually, you may get to
see them sooner than you think Mr.
…. George, my name is George.
Ok George, I said, You dont have
to panic because the worlds smartest
man, Matthew Davis, just jumped off
with my backpack and so we still have
two parachutes left.
know what to do until she turned and
asked me if I was coming. I ran to
catch up with her and quickly found
that gravel hurts the young paws. We
crossed the gravel road and ran into
a forest of hay bails. I ran into mom
because she had suddenly stopped.
There was a big brown, white, and
black mutt (Peaches) standing right in
front of us. I started to hiss and splutter with my back arching into the air
while mom cooly asked the dog to step
aside. The fat dog then started to walk
off slightly groaning as it took a step.
This place is where youll learn how
to hunt, Mom told me.
All of the sudden, something caught
my eye! A grasshopper was trying to
climb a hay bail, but with little suc-
cess. I pounced on it but missed! I then
started to chase it all around while
mom chuckled. It was lunch time by
the time I caught the grasshopper, so
I dragged it back to the barn. Twix
and dad were already there waiting
for us so I finally got to eat my grasshopper, but not without Twix trying
to steal it. I quickly found out what
Twix and dad were doing while we
were gone. Apparently they had been
scaring cows. After our mid day dose
of milk, mom and dad showed us the
best places to nap. My favorite spot is
on top of the dirt inside a flower pot.
I slowly dozed off for about two hours
and was suddenly awakened by a door
slamming and a woman putting table
scraps in a bowl. We all ran to the bowl
to eat it and took another long nap
after finishing it. I was then awakened
by dad yelling,Theyre here. Theyre
here! I looked at the road and saw a
bus. Mom and dad ran to the girls stepping off the bus. The girls walked into
the house and didnt stay inside very
long. Twix hid but once they saw me
they tried to catch me. When they succeeded they stuffed me in a sack and
tried to pet my fur. They also talked
to me in a soothing voice to get me to
calm down, but I still wanted nothing
to do with them and wiggled out of
their grip. Eventually a car pulled up
and picked them up and I was much
happier again. I was with my family
and as satisfied and happy as satisfied
and happy could ever be. The end!

She ran and told her parents.
They said, We need to start

of the week they practiced very,
very hard. Then it was Saturday,
the big day of the game. She and
her parents were very excited.
Mariah got very nervous
because she was very small and
the other players were very tall.

She started walking onto the

She was on the red team and
the other team was blue. Mariah
stole the ball and went and shot
it. She made it so the score was 0

If she made it they would win.

Im very sorry about this! Maximus

echoed through the darkness.
Maximus was in good shape. Jasmine
felt her way around the small hole.
She found a doorknob and opened it.

So what happened? Jasmine
asked.
Well, a long time ago, there was this
girl named May. She was so friendly to
everyone, but then she did something
terrible. She got very mad and took all
the gold in Gold Lake. May also killed
many of my friends and hers too. She
ran off with soldiers at her side. I managed to follow her and steal two pieces
of gold. She got the name Evil May,
Amy said.
I promise I will help you! Jasmine
said with boldness.
The next day Jasmine and Maximus
set out for the forest. Huge green trees
scraped the sky. The birds were silent
as they watched Jasmine and Maximus
enter. They walked along the wet trail
that had car tracks deeply printed in
it. The bushes grew thick and tall.
They finally came to a bridge. They
crossed the bridge and went on. They
reached the end of the forrest and
saw Evil Mays castle. It was the biggest castle Jasmine had ever seen! The
draw bridge was closed, so she couldnt
get in. I have an idea! Jasmine said.
No wonder Amy put soldier clothes in
my pocket!
Jasmine changed, then changed
Maximus too. They looked like real
soldiers. They walked up to the draw
bridge and waited. Finally the bridge
came down and they slowly walked in.
Do I know you? a deep voice
asked.
Jasmine spun around and saw
another soldier! Yes you do! Now I
need to see May because I have a present for her, Jasmine said while petting Maximus.
Right this way! the soldier
replied.
Jasmine followed the soldier and
Maximus ran to the top of the castle.
They passed the dining room and got
to Mays bedroom. Be careful. If she
sees a soldier in her room, she will kill
you! the soldier said darting off.
Jasmine put a small note on her
bed and started to leave. Suddenly she
heard voices. I dont care if Patrick
goes to the airport to kill a few people. Hes my son and you can keep
him! Evil May said screaming into
the phone. Jasmine needed to hide. She
hid in the closet, but it wasnt a closet.
It was full of gold! Jasmine opened
the closet and took a sheet off Mays
bed and started to collect gold. She
collected all of it when May got to the
door.
Who took the sheets off my bed and
who left a note on my bed? Evil May
said screaming her head off. While
May read the note, Jasmine slipped out
of the room and up the ladder to the
roof. There was Maximus waiting and
Jasmine jumped onto him. Maximus
ran as fast as he could and jumped off
the roof. They both landed in a clutter. They got up and ran back to Gold
Lake.
Im so glad you made it back safely! Amy screeched.
Heres the gold! Jasmine said
handing it to her.
Lets celebrate! Amy screamed.
They started celebrating and had so
much fun. Maximus made friends and
Jasmine won the popularity contest!
They drank punch and ate cookies.
Heres a present, Amy whispered.
Thanks! Jasmine replied. Inside was
a ring and it had the power to bring
you back to this place and take you
to your world. It was the best gift she
got. The party lasted for seven days
and soon, it was time for Jasmine and
Maximus to go home.
Thanks for saving my world. If
your world gets bad, let me know and
Ill save it, Amy said.
Okay! Bye! I will miss you!
Jasmine said as the wind started to
blow so hard that it carried Jasmine
and Maximus back to their own world.
They were safe and sound, forever.
Red showed up. Talk about bad timing!
Snowy had to leave, so Red and his
friends walked up and started to chant
Drabby Abby! Drabby Abby! Thats
when she finally snapped and shouted,
Stop teasing me!
Abbys teacher, Miss Blue, came out
of the classroom. She said in a calm
voice, Abby, we need to talk. They
talked for several minutes and Abby
explained her problem to Miss Blue.
Miss Blue didnt have a solution for
Abby, but Abby felt better after talking
to her. Miss Blue said, You should go
talk to Mr. Hoot. He could probably
help you.
Abby flew to Mr. Hoots tree to see
if he had any answer to her problem. Before she could even knock, Mr.
Hoot met her at the door and said,
Abby! How nice to see you! Wont you
come in for a visit? They perched
beside a warm fireplace and Abby
explained how Red and his buddies
were being mean to her and bullying
her. Mr. Hoot listened carefully and
finally said, I think theres a way to
end this, Abby. Abby finally had hope!
She said, Do you really think you
know how? Of course, Abby, said
the wise Mr. Hoot.
Mr. Hoot hopped down off his perch
and looked through his big bookshelf.
Ahh…here it is! he said as he
brushed the dust off of an old book.
He opened the book and read carefully for what seemed like forever to
Abby. Finally he said, Aha! Heres the
answer! Mr. Hoot read out of the old
book, If you fly through a rainbow
while there is a full moon rising, you
will have the colors of the rainbow.
Abby looked at the lunar calendar. There is a full moon tonight.
They both looked. Theres a rainbow,
quickly, rainbows dont last forever,
go! She said thank you and left. As
she flew through the rainbow, all her
feathers turned into all the colors of
the rainbow.
She went to see Red at school. Red
said, Im sorry for treating you so
badly. I realize now that you were
beautiful all along. Abby forgave
him. However, from her experiences
with Red, she had discovered that true
friends, like Snowy, had seen her as
beautiful all along.
As they grew older, Abby and Snowy
began to date and after six years they
married. But thats another story, for
now, all was right with the world, and
Abby was happy with who she was.

black fur and a long nose. It
was a DOG!! I always wanted
one, but dad said I wouldnt
feed it. I ran after him and petted him until it was time for
lunch.
I took him home and dad
said that he would be looking for the owner. That made
me sad. Mom asked what the
dogs name was, but I didnt
know.
Then I went to the river
with the dog and my dirt bike.
When I got there I saw a dead
fish bone on the ground and a
paw print that I couldnt tell
what made it. Until I saw who
did it! It was a bear!! I hopped
on my bike and I couldnt find
the dog. I went so far I didnt
know where I was. I heard the
dog barking. It got louder and
louder then it hurt my ears.
There they both were, the dog
and the bear, but the bear was
dead.
I love you dog. I will call you
Bear. I never knew a dog could
have that kind of power.

The mystic mystery
Jacob Ellis
Westphalia – 5th Grade

Would you ever think that a young
peasant boy would come to great fame
with an achievement of dragon
re population?
Well… there was
a boy just like
that, his name
was Hale.
M o m !
yelled Hale from
the neighbors
horse
stable.
Can I go to the
hills?
Yes honey, yelled his mom back.
Be back before dark though. And take
this sack to pick up wild rice, she said
as she walked in holding a 50 pound
cloth rice bag.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you! exclaimed Hale quickly
with a tone of relief as he ran out the
door with the sack thinking, Wow!
That horse stable stinks!
Just then Hales best friend, Thomas,
ran up to him. Where are you going?
asked Thomas.
To the hills, want to come?
Sure.
Then they went up to the hills to
pick wild rice. After a full bag, they
hiked up a little farther leaving the
rice by a large rock on the old path up.
After a while Thomas said, I have to
get home soon. My mom doesnt know
where I am. And with that Thomas
ran down the mountain and Hale kept
going up.
After a while Hale questioned, Why
is the sun so high, but it is so dark?
How could that be? All of a sudden,
SPLAT! Ewe!! Hale was covered in
saliva. He looked up. Ahhhh! Hale ran
faster than an arrow at full flight,
faster than any boy has ever run, or
ever will run. Just as the thing that
Hale saw, a winged beat, a DRAGON,
landed in the middle of the path and
everything went black.
The next thing Hale knew he was
outside a cave that kind of looked like
a temple. Before going in he made a
torch out of some dead grass, leaves,
two rocks, and a live straight stick
with a V shaped end. He lit the torch
with the two rocks. When Hale went
in the cave he saw the walls lined with
torches about to crumble. But before
he could see if he could light one….
ROAR!! Giant green eyes pierced the
dark, then some more smaller ones,
then a couple more. Hale slowly scooted to the nearest torch. When Hale lit
it he wanted to scream, but he knew
it would only make matters worse. He
saw the dragon and to his surprise, it
walked up to him and gently brushed
him on the side. And to even more
surprise, he looked down and saw baby
dragons everywhere! Eight or nine of
them! One baby even coughed sparks.
After a couple of days Hale started
picking two bags of rice, one for his
family and one for the dragons. One
day Thomas insisted that he would go
with him. Hale said, Okay, but dont
freak out. As Thomas and Hale were
going up the mountain some poachers
spotted them going up the mountain
and the first poacher got the other one
to go up the mountain.
Hale was about to go in the cave
when he told Thomas, Behold! The
dragons of Ashton! Thomas and Hale
went on in the cave. The momma dragon was very sick and Thomas immediately felt compassion on the dragon.
First Hale fed the baby dragons,
then while Hale and Thomas were
trying to feed the momma dragon….
WHIZzzzz! THUMP. ROARrrrrr!! The
momma dragon had an arrow stuck
between two of her scales exactly
where her heart is. Hale and Thomas
looked back and saw two poachers, one
with a drawn bow. The poachers ran
out of the cave and down the mountain, but were never heard from again.
Hale mourned her death and Thomas
felt bad for him. Hale and him took
care of the dragons. Hale took four
dragons and Thomas took four.
After ten years the dragons started
to wander off and mate. Hale named
his four Charles, Stephen, Hannah,
and Thomas. Thomas named his four
Hale, Brickers, Godfrey and Whitney.
Hale lived to be one hundred and
nine and Thomas lived to be one hundred and thirty-two. They got to see
the world repopulate with dragons.
Dragons are in danger again. Will you
repopulate the world with them again?

I decided to take a camping trip to the mountains, so I
packed my stuff and set out for
the mountains. I drove for about
12 hours and
finally found
a
nice
camping
spot with a
river running several
yards away.
I unpacked
my camping
gear and set up
my tent. I started a fire and
roasted some hotdogs, ate them,
and went to bed.
I woke up in the morning, ate
breakfast, rented a canoe, and
started down the river. When I
was about twenty miles down the
river, it started to rain. Thunder
rolled and lightening flashed. I
was really scared. Suddenly I
heard a rumble around the bend
in the river, and as I rounded the
corner a terrifying sight filled
my eyes. The river ahead was
filled with rapids. I was filled
with terror as my canoe shot
through the rapids. Suddenly
my canoe turned over and I flew
out, but I managed to grab ahold
of a rock. Then I jumped from
rock to rock and finally got back
on shore.
Now I was stranded in the
wilderness far from my camp
and without any food or shelter.
I decided that I would try to
get back to camp, so I looked at
my compass on my belt to see
which way I had to go. I started
to walk and had gone about ten
miles and set up a shelter made
of branches and grass. Through
the night a bear came into my
camp and sniffed around and
then went away again.
I woke up in the morning and
found some berries so I picked
them and ate them. Then I started out again and finally got to
camp. So I packed up my stuff
and went home. It was the best
adventure of my life.
It was long ago in 1933, and there was
a chihuahua named Harley. He was an
ordinary dog, but his owners, Dan and
Jennet, didnt care for him. They didnt
give him food or
water so he had to
keep finding some,
and they would
beat him. So one
day Dan and Jennet
went to the doctor
and when they
opened the door
Harley got away
from his owners.
They went looking for him after the doctors. Harley
found an old house with a broken window so he went in and he only went out
to get food and water. Harley went out
and he stopped by the sausage shop. Leo
walked out and gave Harley cooked sausage, so every day after that Harley went
and got more.
One day, Harley was walking around
and Dan found him. He followed him.
Dan went through an alley and when he
went through, he lost him. Harley ran
straight to that old house and hid under
a bed. When he didnt hear anything he
got out from under the bed.
The next day Harley went out and a
little girl and boy were at the ice cream
truck. They saw Harley. The little kids
names were Ava and Caleb. They picked
up Harley and it was a happy moment
until Dan and Jennet drove by and saw
Harley. They followed Ava and Caleb to
their house to get their dog back. When
Ava and Caleb went to school Harley got
out and ran.
First he went to Leos meat shop. Then
he was on his way to the old house,
until the pound took him. Ava and Caleb
gtot home and Harley was gone. Ava
and Caleb went to find him, but first
they asked their parents for another dog.
They said Yes! so their whole family
went looking for him. Avas family was
looking for Harley for hours.
Meanwhile, Dan and Jennet went to
Avas house and broke in. Jennet and
Dan didnt find Harley so they went to
find him. Avas parents told them to
give up, but they didnt want to give up.
So they were looking until 9:00 p.m. and
then they had to go home.
The next day Ava and Caleb went to
school and after it was out they went
to the pound to find a dog. Suddenly
they found Harley. The bought him and
Harley got to know Ava and Caleb better.
Then one day Jennet and Dan saw
Harley with them so they stopped them
and got out and grabbed Harley, but the
kids wouldnt let them take him. Harley,
for the first time, bit Dan. Dan hit Harley
and the kids for not giving him Harley.
They took the kids and went to their
house.
The kids didnt come home for a week
so the parents called the cops. Soon they
found the kids and Harley and they got to
keep Harley. Jennet and Dan spent two
years in prison.
The family and Harley lived happily
ever after.

One night three boys named
Jake, Trent, and Zack were
walking. They heard noises
coming from behind them. The
boys started walking faster
and faster. Boo!
said a goblin.
Ahhh! said
the boys.
Run! Run!
Run! said
Jake. Hide
in the shed!
said Trent.
They were
hearing
more noises in the
shed. It
was two zombies trying to catch
the boys so they could eat their
brains.
We have to find some place
safe to hide! So the boys decided
it was safe to hide in the school.
They went to the school and for
an hour they were safe until the
zombies and goblins came into
the school and found them. The
boys started running really fast.
Help! The boys yelled. But no
one was in the town because
they were all scared.
Then the zombies and goblins caught Jake. Help! he
said. Trent and Zack got Jake
out. Thanks guys, Jake said.
Im hungry, said Zack. I have
some turkey jerky in my bag,
said Jake. Wait, the zombies
and goblins took it.
The boys finally figured out
that the zombies only wanted
the jerky. The zombies and goblins left town after they got the
jerky. Next, all the town folks
came back to town and thanked
Jake, Trent, and Zack for making the zombies go away. After
that they all had a party for the
boys. The end.

Honorable Mention
Megan is 15 years old and has brown
curly hair. She is going on a cruise
with her friend Amy. Amy is 16 years
old and has red hair. Megan and Amy
both live in Frankfort, Kentucky, with
their parents.
They were leaving for the marina in
two days. Megans mom
was
worried about her
going alone, but
Megan just said,
Im not going
alone. Amy is
going with me.
Her mom still worried. Megan met
Amy at her house.
Amys dad was
going to take them to the
marina. Amy was really excited too.
They got in the car and their long journey to the marina started.
When they go there Megan and Amy
got out, said bye to Amys dad, and
then raced to the ship. The guards had
to go through their bags and the rest
of their stuff. After that they got on the
boat, which was named Saint Anne,
some people who worked there helped
them find their room. Then Megan and
7B
LOCAL
Amy threw their bags on the bed and
screamed this was the start of their
journey.
Amy started unpacking, but Megan
wanted to explore the boat. She went
out of the room and went to the lounge
where she met Trey. Trey is tall and
skinny with brown hair and he is also
15 years old. He was on the cruise with
his sister, Andrea. Trey and Megan
walked to the game room where they
found Andrea. She has short frizzy
blond hair and shes 14 years old.
Andrea was so excited to have a friend
that was a girl because she just came
on the boat with her brother. I also
have a friend on the ship. Her name is
Amy, Megan said. Megan took them
back to her room and opened the door,
but Amy wasnt there. They went to
the food court first because Amy loves
food, and sure enough, there she was
by the buffet. Amy went over to them
and met Trey and Andrea.
They went and got breakfast since it
was so early in the morning. Then all
of a sudden came a loud boom as something hit the boat. A voice came from
the boat saying, Rush to the nearest
life boat and float away. People are
attacking the boat. I repeat, people are
attacking. So Amy, Trey, and Andrea
started running, but when they looked
back they saw Megan was still standing there frozen. She was too scared
to move so Amy tried to push her, but
she wouldnt budge. Then Megan got
out of the trance and started running,
but by that time everyone was gone.
So they quickly got on a life boat and
floated away.
Andrea started crying. She didnt
like water or sharks. Amy and Megan
tried to calm her down. Thats just
great. We have no food or water, Trey
said. Amy looked up and said, Yeah,
we do. While I was at the food court I
was getting food to bring to the room,
but then I met you guys and this happened.
Trey was relieved. Oh, and I also
brought bottles of water too, Amy
said. They had been out on the water
for about an hour. It was lunchtime
and they ate a little. Trey finally said,
We need to find land. But how could
they when they were in the middle of
the ocean without a sail or a compass?
They started thinking of what
they could use for a sail. Finally they
decided to take Andreas jacket and
tie it to a pole they found in the boat.
They couldnt find a place to stand it
up so they just took turns holding it
up. When they all got tired, they put
the pole down. It had been one and a
half days since they left the ship and
no sign of land yet. Then out of the
blue they saw something black in the
distance. As they got closer, it began
to move. They saw a tail flip up and
realized that it was a whale. After the
whale moved, Amy began to see tips
of trees so she told someone to hold up
the flag so they could sail to the land
a little faster.
After Trey put up the flag pole
Megan could now see the trees too and
some boats near the shore. She told the
rest about the boats. They thought that
the people there could take them home
so they kept sailing in that direction.
As they got closer they could hear
people singing. Why are they singing? Andrea asked. Trey replied, I
have no idea. They finally got there
and hid so no one would notice them.
Megan noticed that the life boats looked
like theirs, but she didnt say anything.
Trey stepped on a stick, it crackled, but
only one person turned around. When
he saw it was nothing, he turned back
around to the group. They decided
Amy should go talk to them because
she was the oldest. So Amy went up
to them and said hi and told them
what happened to her and the rest of
the kids. When she was done, they
started laughing. This angered Amy. A
person in the group piped up and said,
My name is Dave and that happened
to our ship too. What was the name
of your ship? Amy replied, Saint
Anne, why? Because that was the
name of our ship too, Dave said. So
she went back and told the rest of the
kids what Dave told her. Megan said,
Im not surprised. Their boats looked
like ours. Why didnt you tell us this
before? Amy said. I thought it was
just coincidence.
They all went over to where Dave
and the other people were standing
and asked Dave where he lived. He said
Tennessee. Megan told him about the
flag pole and how they barely had any
food. He laughed again then he went
over to the kids boat and showed them
a compartment with all the stuff they
needed to survive in it. They felt really
stupid and claimed that they didnt
notice that before. But when the day
was over, they packed up what they
had, nothing really, and headed home.
Amy and Megan made it back and
decided not to tell their parents what
happened because they might not let
them go on another cruise, not that
they wanted to after what happened.
They did end up telling their parents, but they said it was a dream. Trey
and Andrea made it home, but their
trip took a little longer because they
lived in North Dakota. They all got on
with their lives like it never happened.

John, get up, said Matthew.
We have to go work out in the
field today.
As John slowly
p u t
on his pants
he
asked,
What did
mom make
for breakfast? John
said in his
head, I bet
its eggs and
sausage as
usual. They did
not have enough money to buy
anything other than that for
breakfast.
John ran down the stairs to
see what it was. He was right,
eggs and sausage. When he was
done, he walked out to the combine. Matthew told him to watch
the gauge, but he did not know
what gauge to watch, so he didnt
pay any attention to any of them.
In about two hours John smelled
something wrong. When he got
out of the combine he noticed
that the combine had caught on
fire! He pulled out his phone and
called his dad.
Hello, said Matthew.
Dad, I need your help! The
combine is on fire! Matthew
turned the tractor around and
went to help put out the fire.
Matthew pulled out his phone
and called 911. In about three
minutes the fire trucks came and
put out the fire.
When they were done, they
noticed they would not be working for a while, so they went
inside to eat lunch. After eating lunch Matthew said, I told
you to watch the gauge because I
knew that would happen.
Then John said he did not know
which one to watch. Matthew
stood up and went to his room to
get a book. When he came out he
told John, If you read this you
would know everything you need
to know about being a farmer.
After lunch they went into
town to buy some groceries,
because they had no food at their
house. They did not have enough
money to buy that much food.
When they were done it was
about 6:35 p.m. So they went out
to eat. When they got there, they
saw one of their friends and they
began to talk about how long
ago they had saw each other and
stuff like that.
In the morning John and
Matthew went out to work on the
combine so they would get done
at a certain time before lunch.
They had dinner plans with some
friends. John told Matthew the
book helped him know stuff he
didnt know before.
The next morning they started
to pick the corn again. When they
got home they ignited the fire on
the grill. Jen, Matthew, and John
sat down in front of the fireplace
and roasted smores. If I go out
in the field tomorrow, I think
you should drive the combine so
I dont set it on fire again, said
John.
Good morning! yelled John
walking into his parents room.
We are going to try to finish the
field today arent we?
Yes we are, said Matthew.
After breakfast they went out
to work in the field. When they
were done, they went inside and
tried to clean up because they
were going out ot eat with their
friends that they saw last night
at their favorite restaurant, The
Outside Burger. The reason they
like it was because they got to sit
outside or inside wherever they
wanted to sit.
Mom, can we go to the store
across the street? asked John.
John, youre 14 years old.
Most kids your age would rather
sit on their rears and play video
games, said Jen laughing.
I know, but I would rather
not play video games, answered
John.
Okay, you begged me into it.
You can go, said his mom. But
only for a little while.
They walked across the street
to the store. When they got in the
store they saw all kinds of stuff
around them like dolls, clothes,
books and dinosaur toys. When
they were walking in the aisle,
John noticed a toy combine that
would go great with his collection
of combines and tractors.
Mom, can I have it because
it would go great with my collection.
I guess, but it will be coming
out of your allowance.
Yes! he yelled. I bet the
whole store could hear him.
When they got out of the
store, it was about 8:20 p.m. So
they drove home. When they got
home, John ran up to his room
and put the toy combine away.
It was hard for him to reach it
because he was only four feet
eight inches.
In the morning he and his dad
went to the field to try to get
the field done this time. In about
two hours he noticed that he was
done. They went inside and ate
lunch.
We are done for the whole year
with the corn! John yelled.

His birthday is tomorrow too.
When Billy went to sleep that
night his family made a potion
to make him a good baseball
player. The family knew Sally
was a good witch but Billy didnt
know because no one had told
him. Billy was so sad because
his mom had died.
Before Billy got up his dad
made him breakfast and put the
potion in his milk. When Billy
got up his dad gave cheers to
Billy because it was his birthday
and then Billy drank the potion
and ate his breakfast. After
breakfast he got ready for the
baseball game.
Billy won the baseball game
and the score was 26 to 12. Then
the family told him about the
potion and his mom being a
good witch. Then when they got
home he changed and went outside and looked at the clouds
and he thought he could see his
moms face smiling at him. The
