Osage City City Council
Telephone, internet options
discussion continues
Julie Nelson | Reporter
OSAGE CITY — The Osage
City council meeting was
brought to order July 24 by
Becky Brewer in the absence
of Mayor Quintin Robert.
Councilwoman Denise Lauber
was also absent. Brewer was
joined by Dale Schwieger,
Gail Lohmeyer, Bruce Scho-
epflin, Karey Heiserman,
Jeanette Swarts and David
Azwell to hear a presentation
by Todd Fannin of Network
Computing Solutions, To-
peka. The council is consider-
ing options to update phone
and communications systems
for the city.
The city has six locations
of departments and needs to
have a simple and efficient
means of communication
with each other. The city
is also looking for ways to
decrease costs of the phone
and Internet services used.

your life.”
The brain aneurysm has
brought Garrett McCoy
even closer to God. “I thank
God everyday,” he said. “I
was going to play football
in college. I thank God the
brain aneurysm happened
before then because I think
it would have killed me if it
had happened while playing
football in college.”
Garrett McCoy shared his
family was already close
before his brain aneurysm,
but it has drawn his family
even closer together.
The Osage County Herald-Chronicle | Community
The options explained by
Fannin will unify the Inter-
net and phone systems used
daily.
Utilities Director Joey
Lamond told council discus-
sions with CenturyLink and
KWIKCOM have been held
and both companies offer
hosted systems. He said NCS
offers another option called a
point-to-point system, which
can tie all the buildings to
city hall. He said, “We are
trying to get different bids.”
The challenge is comparing
apples to oranges since each
company offers different
packages of services. Further
discussions are expected in
the future on this matter.
Council approved a con-
ditional use permit to allow
an overnight cabin lodge
for family and guests at a
property located at 1122 N.

He shared he feels like
he did before, strong, but
just not as strong. This is
pretty amazing when you
consider his rehabilitation
was expected to take about
two years.
Garrett McCoy continues
to express his thankfulness
to all the people who prayed
for him. “It really helped,”
he said. “Because of the
prayers, I didn’t feel any of
the pain.”
As far as words of wis-
dom from him now that he
has faced all he has faced,
Garrett McCoy said, “Enjoy
everyday as though it is
your last day. You always
have to be prepared to leave
this Earth.”

Fireman Scott Brenner answered questions that children had July 25 during
Osage City Public Library’s Unsung Hero’s Days, which also featured “Touch-
a-Truck.”
Children experience
vehicles first-hand
Tammy Schlingmann
Managing Editor
OSAGE CITY — Osage
City Public Library hosted
Unsung Hero’s Day July
25. As part of the event,
children were able to get up
close, and sometimes even
in or on, various vehicles.
Fire District No. 2 was on
hand with one of their fire
trucks. Osage City Police De-
partment’s Assistant Chief
Eric Loquist arrived in his
police SUV. Osage County
Emergency Medical Services
provided an ambulance. The
City of Osage City’s electric
department showed up with
one of their utility trucks,
complete with a bucket.
There was even a tractor,
which had been restored by
the 4-H.
The children learned
about each of the vehicles
and the organizations from
which the heroes hailed.
They learned things like the
firefighters have a device
similar to their school back-
packs, only much heavier,
which carries a 45 minute
supply of oxygen for the
firefighters when needed.
They also learned where the
nickname “cop” comes from
for police. Loquist explained
many years ago the police
officers’ badges were made
out of copper. As a result,
people started calling the
police “coppers.” That
was then shortened to the
nickname “cop” or “cops.”
They also learned that years
ago farmers would cultivate
their farms with tractors
like the one they were able
to see. The tractor had no
form of air conditioning
and the farmer would spend
hours and hours a day culti-
vating his fields.
The children passed out
handcrafted thank you
notes to their heroes and
thanked them for their time.
Afterwards, the children
returned inside the library
for drinks and ice cream to
round out the event.
Slides

the correct pronunciation of
the word water. As a result,
both girls were spanked,
which sent them crying.
Floyd and Theda removed
the girls from the school.
The family ended up set-
tling in Michigan until the
oldest daughter, Deborah,
got married and moved to
Georgia. “They were a close-
knit family and missed each
other,” Baeumert said. “One
by one they moved to Geor-
gia, where they stayed.”
Baeumert shared Theda’s
best childhood memory was
she would walk up a hill
to a lady’s house. The lady
had been a former slave and
would tell Theda stories
about those days. Years
later, Theda would go on to
author the book, “Journey
to a Free Land: The Story
of Nicodemus the First All
Black Town West of the Mis-
sissippi.” For those who do
not know it, Nicodemus is
in the northwestern part of
Kansas. It is along Highway
24 between Stockton and
Hill City.
“Ms. Theda was very
proud of her history there
(Kansas),” Baeumert said.
Theda gave Baeumert a
signed copy of the book she
wrote. “I have read it and
would love to see it in every
Page 3
library,” Baeumert said.
Baeumert shared Theda
came from a “humble back-
ground.” Of her adult years,
she told Baeumert, “We had
plenty of money, but we
didn’t spend it.” Baeumert
shared a wood bar in one
of the slides was a custom
anniversary gift Theda had
made while in Japan for
Floyd. “When they spent
money, it was on quality
items, not frivolous things,”
Baeumert said. Deborah and
Treva shared with Baeumert
they took the wood bar
everywhere they moved and
still have it.
Floyd passed away a little
over 10 years ago on June
30, 2008. “They (Floyd and
Theda) were inseparable
until the day he died,”
Baeumert shared. Debo-
rah went on to become a
teacher. Treva went on to
become an assistant attor-
ney general. Both have since
retired.
Baeumert shared her
daughter had asked her,
“Why do I have to be nice,”
in regards to the attempt
to locate the family in the
slides in order to return the
slides. The whole situation
made for an extremely good
example to be a role model,
not just for Baeumert’s
daughter, but for others as
well.
“It has brought me happi-
ness, so much happiness,”
Baeumert said.

Letters To The Editor
Being punched
in the stomach
Dear Editor:
Two and a half years ago I
left my job at the Kansas Sec-
retary of State’s Office where
I had worked for 34.5 years.
Most of those years I was an
accounting specialist and
had taken numerous hours
of training for this job and
loved what I was doing. I had
worked for five Secretaries
of State, including Jack Brier,
Bill Graves, Ron Thornburgh,
Chris Biggs and Kris Kobach.
In my 34.5 years, I had never
received a bad evaluation.
On Dec. 18, 2015, two
hours before my scheduled
two week vacation over the
Christmas and New Year’s
holidays, I was called to the
human resource officer’s
office, which was Craig Mc-
Cullah at that time. He is run-
ning for Secretary of State.
Mr. McCullah had only been
with the Secretary of State’s
Office for a short time and
certainly not long enough to
learn much about each job or
the people working there.
I was told by Mr. McCul-
lah when I returned after my
vacation I would be moved to
a clerk’s position in another
division of the office where
the majority of my day would
be spent sticking labels on
papers. I told him this was a
waste of my experience and
training, but I was told I did
not have a choice. I immedi-
ately went to my supervisor.
She knew how upset I was
and told me she would see
what she could do. I left the
office that day feeling like
I had been punched in the
stomach. The supervisor
who told me she would see
what she could do, did not
answer any of my messages
when I tried to contact her
while I was on vacation. I
soon found out I was not the
only long-time employee of
the Secretary of State’s Office
this had happened to. There
were several of us.
I spent the holidays and
vacation dreading returning
to work. On the afternoon of
Dec. 31, 2015, I received a
phone call from the supervi-
sor in the area where I was

from the 2019 budget; and
to purchase the 2018 Chevy
Equinox in the amount of
$22,000 from the general

Mennonite and
Amish in the county
“There is a lot of rumors
flying around that the Men-
nonites and Amish will not
pay taxes,” Diver informed
the other commissioners
and County Appraiser Kim
Lauffer.
“They do pay taxes,”
Lauffer informed the com-
missioners. She added she
had heard concerns the
Amish will “drive up taxes.”
She assured the commission-
ers this is not true because
they will not change the tax
formulas.
“Is there tax on buggies in
Kansas,” Kuykendall asked
Lauffer. She said she would
have to check on that and get
back to him with the answer.
“Will the outhouses be
taxed,” Kuykendall asked
Lauffer. “No, they do not
increase the value of the
property or the house,”
Lauffer replied.
In other business,
the commissioners:
q approved an additional
$1,000 to replace six ad-
ditional sidewalk squares
around the courthouse.
q discussed at County
Treasurer Lexi Fager’s re-
quest delinquent personal
property taxes beyond 20
years delinquent. Fager was
instructed to talk to other
county treasurer’s to see
how they handle taxes, which
are that delinquent. County
Attorney Pat Walsh said
The Osage County Herald-Chronicle | Opinion
being moved. She stated my
desk had been cleaned out
and asked what I wanted
done with my stuff and if I
was going to return to the of-
fice. I could not believe after
all my time in this office they
could be so cruel to treat
me this way. I think they
expected me not to go back
to work. I felt betrayed and
pushed out by the people
who I thought of as family.
What better way to get rid of
me but to clean out my desk
without my knowledge.
I returned to work for the
month of January, but mostly
to get my papers in order to
retire. Even though I was only
54 years old, I had no inten-
tions of retiring prior to this.
Upon my last day of work,
my husband, Jim, confronted
Mr. Kris Kobach and asked
him straight out if getting rid
of good employees was his
way of cutting the spending
in his agency. Mr. Kobach
assured him he had no inten-
tions of cutting employees
and had no idea I had been
treated the way I had by his
management team.
It makes me sick to my
stomach today when I hear
his campaign ads boasting
how he has cut employees
and spending in his office.
He flat out lied to my hus-
band about this. I am an
example of his cuts. A loyal,
hard working state employee
who had 34.5 years of knowl-
edge and experience. It also
makes me angry to think that
they could treat their loyal
employees so poorly and
make them want to leave.
I want you to ask yourself
if this is the type of person
you want running the State
of Kansas. Is this who you
trust looking out for the best
interest of the fine citizens
of this state, some of whom
are hard working state em-
ployees?
I know Kris Kobach will not
get my vote for Governor of
Kansas. I hope this will help
change your mind as well.
Dena Strohm
Burlingame
he could also talk to other
county attorneys.
q received an update from
Fager on the new state ve-
hicle license plates. The new
license plates will be made
when ordered. People will be
issued a 30-day temporary
tag when they register the
vehicle with the county and
will receive the new license
plate in the mail. The new
license plates will be flat,
rather than raised, and the
numbers and letters will
be in black. Fager reported
they were to take effect Aug.
1, but the date might get
pushed back.
q received an update from
Fager on the Real ID driver’s
license. Fager informed the
commissioners people need
to bring approved documen-
tation, such as a U.S. pass-
port or official birth cer-
tificate, and a social security
card that is not laminated.
Laminated social security
cards will not be accepted
because it is then a docu-
ment that has been tampered
with, making it not accept-
able. If a person has moved,
the person also needs to
bring a piece of mail with
them to show mail addressed
to the new address. A full list
of the approved documenta-
tion can be found online at
www.ksrevenue.org/pdf/Re-
alIDChecklist.pdf. Fager also
informed the commissioners
the Real ID deadline of 2020
might get pushed back.
q Kuykendall informed
Lauffer of a citizen, Steve
Zerr, who had informed
him he had not received
his neighborhood revital-
ization payment, but had
paid what he was suppose
to pay. Lauffer checked on
the situation and informed
the commissioners Zerr had
made his payment too late to
qualify for the neighborhood
revitalization payment.
q approved new tires for
a county car, which had a
tire blow out. The approved
amount was $556.

A family moving to Read-
ing some time ago, had to
take a large table apart to get
it through the door. When
the house burned last week
and a man who was helping
get furniture out of the burn-
ing building picked the table
up and carried it through
the door without help. Later,
five men spent two hours
getting it through a door of
the same size. No one knows
how he did it.

A drunk was terrifying
the neighborhood south of

Sunday night. After he put
his car in the ditch he went
into the house where the
sheriff found him, sitting in
the dark with the gun across
his lap. He raised the gun
when the sheriff threw his
flashlight on him but surren-
dered when spoken to. The
fellow jumped out of the car
on the way to Lyndon and
ran along beside it briefly, at
about 25 miles an hour, with
a hand cuff on one arm. He
over his head persuaded him
to surrender. He is in jail

plans during drought
SALINA — While there
have been some recent
rains, drought conditions
for many areas in Kansas
continue to worsen. Re-
cently, Governor Jeff Colyer
updated the drought dec-
laration for Kansas coun-
ties with Executive Order
18-16. The update declares
all 105 counties either in
an emergency, warning or
Ecological Site Descrip-
tions. These site descrip-
tions provide information
to assess the condition of
current resources, evaluate
management opportunities
and predict the outcome of
management decisions.
“Contingency plan actions
will need to be addressed
in some areas,” Schwandt
said. “There are a number

A Cowboy’s Faith
Laws intended for following
Frank J. Buchman | Contributor
“Rules are meant to be bro-
ken.” Whether that is a com-
pletely accurate statement, it
sure is a fact. There might be
an exception in some cases,
but most rules are broken at
some time.
This has been a frequent
topic of conversations in
recent weeks at horse shows
and county fairs. Too many
rules interpretation sessions
have been called. Every time
there is even controversy
among those committee
members meeting and deci-
sion always makes somebody
glad and another mad.
Rules are set as guidelines,
instructions, directions, laws,
regulations and policy for all
concerned with the subject at
hand. Hopefully, there would
be increased honesty and
fairness for everyone, yet
that is not always the case.
Think of what are likely
the two most often broken
rules, laws, or group thereof?
It would be nearly impossible
to find someone who has not
broken the speed limit, at
least a little bit. Speculating,
most people drive faster than
the posted speed limit all the
time. That is a broken rule
certainly by definition.
Many people, perhaps
most, intend to live by the
Ten Commandments, laws
for a moral life. Still, most
have broken these “rules,”
and some on a very regular
basis. Despite frequent bro-
ken rules, in reality, usually
people just do not under-
stand exactly what is expect-
ed or, many times, they have
not studied, or even scanned
rules.
There are rules for nearly
every sport and they vary
considerably from one to
another. Horseshow and
fair guidelines are consider-
ably different among each
organization. Top it off, the
rules can be changed and
are without everybody being
properly informed.
Generally what comes up
are most simple things like
dress codes, which on the
forefront would seem so in-
significant. Still, it’s surpris-
ing how many might wear
a beach type outfit into the
barrel race than appropri-
ate and demanded Western
attire.
More complex, especially
for newcomers, whatever
the show is rules regarding
equipment. Those participat-
ing in slow relaxing plea-
sure riding obviously would
not use the same tack as a
speedy barrel race. It’s not
that easy to understand for
many. Certain opinion is that
if something has to be stated
as a rule, it is something that
is not absolutely necessary,
but rather preferable.
I am reminded of Second
Timothy 2:5: “If anyone
enters competitive games,
he is not crowned unless he
competes fairly according to
the rules laid down.”

Some farmers near
Lyndon have attached a
gasoline engine to a grain
binder, thereby eliminat-
ing the “bull wheel” and
taking the load of running
the mechanism off of the
horses.
A horse ran away on Santa
Fe Avenue in Burlingame
Monday, turning the buggy
over and trapping two wom-
en underneath. One was
dragged a few feet but both
were uninjured. The horse
broke loose and headed for
a store window, but was
caught on the sidewalk.
From the files
1858 — Burlingame was
incorporated by an act of
the Kansas Legislature along
with 174 other towns.
1873 — The extension of
the AT&SFRR to Grenada
on the south side of the
Arkansas River in Colorado
has opened a new outlet to
the Mexican trade.
1878 — The Marshal of
the United States Supreme
Court and former private
secretary to Abraham Lin-
coln is visiting his brother
who lives near Burlingame.
1883 — The street com-
missioner and his gang
have been busy again on the
schoolhouse hill at Burl-
ingame. Every year it gets
lower, making traffic over it
easier. – The telephone com-
pany will be in Burlingame
soon to install their instru-
ments. Lyndon and Osage
City are fully equipped.
1888 — The pop factory
at Burlingame has moved
to Santa Fe Avenue. – The
ochre at Quenemo has been
found to be “A-Number-
One.” All the colors of the
rainbow may be brought out
by it. – There is a 22-inch
vein of coal one half mile
from Quenemo, which burns
longer than ordinary and
makes no clinkers and very
little ash. – There were 25
bathers at Merrill Springs,
Carbondale, Tuesday. Baths
are given three days a week.
– Lightning did considerable
damage in the Carbondale
area Thursday. It struck
some saplings and blew a
large bole in the ground,
knocked a man and the
mule he was driving down,
tore the end out of a barn
killing a horse and a cow,
damaged a church steeple,
and killed a span of horses.
1893 — The band stand
in Burlingame’s city park
has been lowered three feet
so that the audience can see
the speakers without strain-
ing their necks.
1898 — A new stamp tax
went into effect Friday to
help finance the war with
Spain. Everything from legal
documents to seats in a par-
lor car must have a stamp
attached to it. – There is a
lot of nice scenery along the
Peavine route between Lyn-
don and Quenemo. The road
follows Salt Creek for many
miles. – The son of Read-
ing’s Baptist minister was
killed recently in a battle
near Santiago, Cuba.
1923 — Burglars broke
into the Two Bens store at
Osage City Monday night.
They backed a truck up to
the red door and took 150
suits, 40 pairs of socks and
other clothing valued at
$5,000.
1932 — It now costs
three cents to mail a letter.
The increase was effective
July 6. A postcard can still
be mailed for a penny. – A
Lyndon man and his daugh-
ter, driving a Henry car to
Topeka recently, ran into
a swarm of bees. The bees
were as thick as chinch bugs
in June.
watch status. This order
places nearly half of Kansas
counties in an emergency
drought status.
Rangeland Management
Specialist Dustin Schwandt
with the Natural Resources
Conservation Service, says
protecting rangeland during
a drought means balanc-
ing the needs of livestock
with the capacity of natural
resources that have become
more fragile by a lack of
water. “Right now, we can
expect some below average
production values across
much of the state.”
Schwandt said “failing to
plan is planning to fail” in
drought conditions like this
and can lead to an even lon-
ger recovery time of key na-
tive plants if a contingency
plan is not developed and
followed. “A sound grazing
management plan usually
references the ‘take half and
leave half approach’ by the
end of the grazing period.”
Schwandt encourages
producers to monitor grass
growth throughout the
growing season. A graz-
ing exclusion cage is a
great tool to determine the
total grass production for a
certain year (inside the cage)
compared to the amount
being grazed (outside of
the cage). Cages should be
moved annually, prior to
the grazing season, to get
an accurate representation
of the current year’s pro-
duction. With two-thirds
of biomass (plant material)
below ground, it is impor-
tant to keep key native plant
roots in a vigorous state to
maximize production and
sustainability.
“Taking more than 50
percent biomass above
ground in a given year can
cause negative impacts on
plant root production and
growth,” Schwandt said.
NRCS develops prescribed
grazing plans that are based
on production for “nor-
mal” years. NRCS classifies
rangeland into units called
of options that may include
early weaning, shorter time
period of grazing with the
entire herd or removing
cattle from pastures and
feeding supplements in dry
lots.”
Schwandt encourages
producers to visit their local
NRCS office as soon as pos-
sible to review their contin-
gency plan. “Approximately
75 percent of forage growth
on native grass for the given
year has occurred. Even if
we receive rain now, the for-
age will only grow another
25 percent,” he said.

drought conditions

With the current climate
conditions, two beneficial
websites for producers to
track current drought condi-
tions and status of forage
growth include:

Is baptism necessary to receive salvation?

Frank Figgs
Osage City Church of Christ
Many teach today that
baptism is not necessary to
receive salvation. Let us see
what the Bible teaches.
Ephesians 4:4-6 said,
“There is one body, one
Spirit, one Hope, one Lord,
one faith, one baptism and
one God.” This was written
after Christ’s church was
established as recorded in
Acts Chapter 2.
The one body is Christ’s
church, Ephesians 1:22-23,
“And gave him to be the
head over all things to the
church which is His body.”
The one Spirit, Acts 2:38,
tells us when we are bap-
tized into Jesus Christ for
the forgiveness of our sins is
when we receive the “gift” of
the “one Spirit.” Romans 8:9,
”If anyone does not have the
Spirit of Christ, he is none
of His.” God is telling us, if
we have not been baptized
to receive the “one Spirit” we
are none of His.
The one hope and one
Lord, our one Hope, I Timo-
thy 1:1, “Lord Jesus Christ,
which is our Hope, our one
mediator between God and
man,” I Timothy 2:5. Our Sav-
ior, “He that believeth and
is baptized shall be saved,”
Mark 16:16.
The one baptism is a “go-
ing down into” and a “com-
ing up out of water” Acts
8:6-39, a “planting” Romans
6:4, a “resurrection” Colos-
sians 2:12, a “new birth”
Romans 6:3-6 and “salva-
tion” I Peter 3:21. It’s also
to have our sins “remitted”
and to receive the “gift” of
the one Spirit Acts 2:38,
to get into the one church,
“For by one Spirit are we all
baptized into one body,” I
Corinthians 12:13, to be born
again of water and of the
one Spirit, Romans 6:3-6, to
get into Christ, “For as many
of us as have been baptized
into Christ have put on
Christ” Galatians 3:27 and
to be saved, “The like figure
whereunto even baptism
doth also now save us,” I
Peter 3:21.

Reunion
Coffman Family
The annual Coffman fam-
ily reunion was held July 8
at Overbrook Library com-
munity room with 44 family
members in attendance.
Hosts were Connor, Moriah,
Morgan and Erin Coffman.
After a potluck dinner,
Connor Coffman conducted
a short business meeting.
He read the minutes of the
2017 meeting.
Every member of the fam-
ily, including the youngest
generation, gave their name
and a brief description of
how they were related to the
original Overbrook Coffman
brothers, William T., O.F.B.
and L.D. Coffman.
Allene Hesseltine reported
her cousin, Joan Owens, had
passed away since the last
reunion. Recently married
in June, Logan Coffman in-
troduced his wife, Mia. Erin
and Morgan Coffman helped
family members become
better acquainted by leading
everyone in a fun game.
Melanie Coffman pre-
sented a slide show of
her project to restore the
historic Vinland Presbyterian
Church and recounted the
history of the church, which
dates back to the mid 1800s.
Having grown up in the Vin-
land Community, she has a
special interest in preserving

Smart strategies to beat stress-induced weight gain

Cheryl Mussatto | MS, RD, LD
Stressed out? If so, you’re
not alone. A recent poll by
the American Psychological
Association found nearly 50
percent of people reported
greater stress compared to
just five years ago. It’s bad
enough that stress is already
associated with increasing
headaches, body aches, GI
disturbances, insomnia, high
blood pressure, type two
diabetes and cardiovascular
disease. One other health
concern to add to this list of
stress-inducers, weight gain.
When life is stressful, food
for comfort may be your
go-to. A recent survey found
Smart strategies for
reducing stress and
weight gain
Since we can never com-
pletely run away from stress,
we have to learn how to live
better with it. Using food to
soothe ourselves when times
get tough may offer tem-
porary comfort but usually
results in excessive weight
gain. Instead, use smart
strategies that not only
can relieve stress but also
prevent you from gaining ad-
ditional pounds.
o Tame your stress – If
stress contributes to your
emotional eating, try a stress
management technique, such
as yoga, meditation, or deep
breathing.
o Have a hunger real-
ity check – Is your hunger
physical or emotional? If
you just ate a few hours ago
and don’t have a rumbling
stomach, you’re probably
not hungry. Give the craving
time to pass.
o Get support – Lean
on family and friends or
consider joining a support
group as you’re more likely
to give in to emotional eating
without it.
o Take away tempta-
tion – Keep hard-to-resist
comfort foods out of your
home. When you feel angry
or depressed, avoid going to
the grocery story until your
emotions are in check.
o Snack healthy – Snacks
can be good for us but
choose wisely. Make it a
habit of having low-calorie
snacks on hand such as cut
up fruit and vegetables, un-
buttered popcorn, or a hand-
ful of walnuts or almonds.
o Keep a food diary – Writ-
ing down what, how much,
when you eat and your
emotional status can be a
powerful tool for discover-
ing patterns that reveal the
connection between mood
and food.
o Learn from setbacks
– If emotions are running
high and you find yourself
overeating, forgive yourself
and start fresh the next day.
Learn from your experience
and make a plan for how you
can prevent it in the future.
Focus on positive changes
you are making in your eat-
ing plan that ultimately will

How stress affects

weight gain
The mechanism by which
VOTE TUESDAY, AUGUST 7 Adv. paid for by Finch for Kansas, Robert Greenfield, treasurer

stress causes weight gain

begins with the hormone
secreted by your adrenal
glands called cortisol. Known
as the stress hormone,
cortisol regulates how you
respond to stress. When
under stress, cortisol is
released. As cortisol levels
rise, the pancreas secretes
the hormone insulin making
you feel hungry, especially
for foods high in fat and/or
sugar.
This hunger-inducing re-
sponse to cortisol was shown
in a study published in the
journal Appetite. Research-
ers found that female college
students, when under stress,
consumed more calories
coming from sweets than
women in non-stressful
situations. If the stress is
psychosocial, this can lead
to unrestrained behavior of
wanting to eat more food
than usual.
Stress also affects your
sleep habits. Experiencing
stress often disrupts sleep,
making your more tired.
Excessive sleepiness can
increase levels of the hunger
hormone known as ghrelin.
Ghrelin can also increase
when you are stressed-out,
thus making you seek out
food for comfort.
Another potential stressor
for many people is work-
related stress. Feeling the
pressure of job demands can
translate into not prioritizing
self-care and instead using
food or alcohol to try and
manage work-related stress.
A study called Midlife in the
United States, found that the
greater the job strain and
the less control one has is
associated with weight gain
among men, while women
had greater weight gain
when feeling strain in rela-
tionships with others.

Osage Outdoors
Gary Rush | Reporter
If one was to ask a high
school student about the du-
ration of August, they would
say it seems to be the short-
est month of the year. The
days filled with classes and
watching the clock hourly
for bells, always late in
coming, loom ever closer as
month’s end draws near. The
countdown of carefree days
denoting summer vacation
quickly spiral into a handful
of yesterdays and the drive
to accomplish all the fun
envisioned this past spring is
left for the dwindling num-
ber of the cooler tomorrows
disappearing at an alarming
rate.
Ask the same question of a
hunter and the answer would
be the complete opposite. A
hunter knows on the back-
side of August, seasons begin
to open and the cabin fever
of summer will soon be over.
Yes, August is a long month
comprised of over four
weeks of waiting for eternity
to be over, but there is re-
spite for the outdoor person.
Just as a snowshoe hare can
change its colors for the
season, so can the hunter.
Most hunters tend to resort
to summer form, established
out of necessity to endure
the warmer climate, as a
fisherman.
In the modern community
of those who call themselves
“outdoorsmen,” there has
arisen three factions separat-
ed by blurred lines. The first
would be the naturalist, who
defines themselves by the
mere number of hours spent
in the outdoors camping,
hiking, viewing nature and
wooing over nature’s maj-
esty. This is a broad group
which displays the most ac-
tivity during the moderate to
warmer months. The second
group, often most active at
times similar to the natural-
ist, are the fishermen, who
like to hunt when the fish-
ing is slim. The last faction
consists of those who thrive
during the cooler months are
the hunters who like to fish
when necessary. I consider
myself amongst the number
of the latter group and I only
tell the reader this to allow
insight of why I write about
the outdoors the way I do.
So, for another month,
fishing it is. Not so long ago
I felt the only productive and
enjoyable fishing to be had
in August was navigating
the muddy banks of dwin-
dling waterways in search of
catfish or casting for bass
amongst the pond mosses
and the edge structure of
lakes. Bass with buzz baits
and rigged plastic worms,
channel cats on night crawl-
ers, livers, dip baits and
dough, or flathead on more
lively offerings, appeared
to be the only fish around
to accept my August entice-
ments, but I humbly admit I
was wrong.
Just the other day a good
friend of mine convinced
me to expand my fishing
boundaries by taking me to
Melvern Lake, boat in tow, to
chase down the local walleye
which had all but eluded
me to this point. Similar to
the path of most outdoors-
men, I was taught to fish
by my father who, in turn,
was taught by his father and
when they were learning the
ways of fishing there did
not exist the population of
walleye in our lakes which
exist today. Growing up I
learned the ways of the fish
indigenous to Kansas and
in fear of exposing any of
the vast lack of knowledge
concerning the outdoors that
I might possess. I simply
avoided walleye, wiper and
any derivative thereof. Trout,
on the other hand, only ex-
ist in stocked situations in
Kansas so the local outdoors-
man is not expected to know
much about them; therefore,
I throttled my ignorance with
both hands and have become
quite adept at trout-trickery.
The depth finder showed
about 15 foot of water when
I hooked into my first pur-
posefully caught walleye. The
fish was a bit under the mini-
mum length, but as soon as
the fish came to rest at the
surface beside the boat I was,
myself, hooked on walleye.
My friend and I slowly trolled
back and forth across the
Melvern Lake flat and caught
several more fish, including
at least one legal walleye,
which I took home for a taste
test. I found the walley to be
delicious.
There is still plenty more
for me to learn about wall-
eye, but I intend to practice,
experiment and practice
some more until I can man-
age some sort of consistency.
I am thankful for the en-
couragement my buddy gave
to expound on my fishing
horizons and am determined
to thwart pride for the sake
of knowledge and fun yet
to be had. August can be a
rut for some, but fishing for
something different is a fine
means to pull us outdoors-
men out of it.
Hunters who like to fish,
fret not. Fishing still treads
time between now and then
and the hunting seasons
will soon be upon us. If the
need to appease the hunt-
ing bug still pops up from
time to time, take notice on
the way to the fishing hole
where there always exists
the practice of identifying
and counting dove as they
take flight from the roadside.
Also, keep your eyes peeled
for the young deer playing
in the waning light of the
evening on the way home
because you just might catch
a glimpse of a mature buck
sporting a growing crown of
velvet-lined antlers. If you do
see that monster of a buck,
I am sorry. August just be-
came a whole lot longer for
you, my friend.
Note: The term “outdoors-
man” is used all-encompass-
ing to include women, men
and children alike. To use
terms gender-specific is tire-
some for both the reader and
the writer and, alas, we are
all equally human under the
scrutiny of a walleye.

PRATT – If you have
looked at Kansas’ 2018
fishing forecast or followed
the weekly fishing reports
at ksoutdoors.com, you
know Kansas anglers have
enjoyed amazing fishing
this year. But have you ever
wondered how this hap-
pens? The revenue from the
fishing license you pur-
chase, along with funding
from the federal Wildlife
and Sport Fish Restoration
Program (WSFR), pays for
the operation of four fish
hatcheries operated by
the Kansas Department of
Wildlife, Parks and Tourism
(KDWPT). Kansas’ hatcheries
at Meade, Pratt, Milford and
Farlington have produced
more than 100 million sport
fish already stocked into
Kansas waters this year.
Sport fish may be stocked
as fry, less than one-half
inch long, fingerlings, 1 to 3
inches long, intermediates,
6 to 8 inches long, or adults,
depending on stocking
requests, available pond/
raceway space and work-
force resources available.
Fisheries biologists use data
gathered through sampling
efforts, angler and creel
surveys and consider lake
conditions when making an-
nual stocking requests.
The following sport fish
have been stocked in 2018
for your enjoyment in pub-
lic waters in Kansas.
Bluegill/green sunfish hy-
brid, 7,885 adults and 541
fingerlings.
Black crappie, 17,898 fry.
Bluegill, 28,111 finger-
lings.
Channel catfish, 1,403
adults; 169,195 fingerlings;
30,224,453 fry; and this fall
317,465 intermediates.
Grass carp, sterile, 890
intermediates.
Hybrid black crappie,
25,000 fry.
Largemouth bass, 476,171
fingerlings; 240 intermedi-
ates; and 805,906 fry.
Wiper, 140,563 fingerlings
and 8,409,300 fry.

fingerlings.
Sauger, 28,451 fingerlings
and 1,975,000 fry.
Saugeye, 132,158 finger-
lings and 9,664,600 fry.
Smallmouth bass, 4,133
fingerlings.
Striped bass, 1,100,000
fry.
Walleye, 73,183 finger-
lings and 56,172,720 fry.
If you purchased a trout
stamp this year, you helped
with the purchase of 58,591
rainbow trout that were
stocked into more than 30
designated trout waters
across the state between
Jan. 1 and April 15. A new
schedule of trout stockings
will begin Nov. 1 when the
trout season re-opens.
In addition to the channel
catfish raised at the hatch-
eries, KDWPT also pur-
chased 76,000 catchable-
sized channel catfish from
private hatcheries in Kan-
sas. These fish were stocked
into lakes enrolled in the
urban fishing program,
which provides high-quality
fishing opportunities close
to home for anglers living in
our larger cities.
Revenue from license
sales and WSFR fund much
more, including manage-
ment and research ac-
tivities, law enforcement,
grounds maintenance,
habitat enhancement and
education. WSFR fund-
ing for fisheries programs
comes from excise taxes on
fishing equipment, boats
and motors and motorboat
fuel. It is allocated to the
states based, in part, on the
number of licensed anglers
in each state.
License and WSFR revenue
has not only supported the
programs necessary to have
safe, productive and enjoy-
able fishing opportunities in
Kansas, it has also resulted
in more than 109 million
fish stocked into Kansas
waters in 2018 and more
fish will be stocked this
summer and fall.
Fishing in Kansas is good
and getting better.

saving for college
StatePoint reports par-
ents are socking away more
money for their children’s
higher education, and they
are doing so in smarter
ways, as suggested in a new
report from Sallie Mae.
One-third of parents
saved more for college this
year than last. The average
amount saved, $18,135, is
the highest amount re-
ported in the last five years
of “How America Saves for
College,” a national study by
Sallie Mae and Ipsos.
After saving for general
needs and emergencies,
parents earmark funds for
college more than any other
specific purpose, alongside
retirement. So, how are they
doing it?
To keep their college sav-
ings on track, 61 percent
of parents contribute a set
amount to their college
fund on a regular basis. To
find more money for col-
lege, 30 percent of parents
have cutback on discre-
tionary spending and 27
percent have reduced their
household expenses. This
year marks the first time tax
advantaged 529 college sav-
ings plans hold the largest
share of college savings at
30 percent.
“Most parents aspire to
give their children the op-
portunity to attend college,

Parents who have planned
how they will pay for college
have saved more than twice
as much as those without a
plan, $22,169 versus $9,208.
They are also three times
more likely to be confident
they will be able to meet the
cost of college, 73 percent
versus 27 percent.
To make your college
savings plan, Sallie Mae
recommends a 1-2-3 ap-
proach. First, open a savings
account; second, set a goal
and make deposits regu-
larly; and third, explore tax
advantaged options such as
529 college savings plans.
Experts say that a dedicat-
ed commitment to funding
their children’s education,
along with a clear strat-
egy for doing so, can help
parents reach their college
savings goals.
