I was pretty knee deep in
all that stuff, said Toole. Toole
completed the Fort Hays transition to teaching program for
proper licensure.
As the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE),
required school districts to
provide career based pathways
in the states secondary program, Toole followed the Arts,
AV Technology and Communications Career Cluster. At Washington County High School,
students take a prerequisite
of Intro to Art to learn basic
principals. The career based
course instruction is provided

through a graphic design curriculum leading into yearbook.
Students can take the advanced
design classes year after year,
as the projects change based on
the priorities and the programs

It all started with a broken rod

Gavin Koch, a freshman at
Clifton-Clyde, said he remembers
doing a lot of shing around the
Clifton area. His father, Brandon,
said Gavin had been shing as
long as he could hold a pole.
But the pastime went to another
level two to three years ago when
Gavin went to Walmart to buy a
new rod and reel to replace a broken rod. The one he bought came
with lures he hadnt seen before.
He had never shed for bass
Brandon mostly shed for catsh
on the river, so that is what Gavin
did too but the new lures were
for bass shing, so he headed to a
pond to try them out.
We caught a lot of sh, said

Gavin. I was casting and it was
a lot more exciting compared to
catshing.
He turned to computers to take
another step with shing. While
technology often keeps kids inside,
away from the outdoors, it was
technology that really helped
Gavin become a top-notch sherman.
He learned most everything

Toole said.
The client agrees to attend a class
at the high school two to three times
to be interviewed by the students.
The students are coached to ask
questions like Describe your business in three words. or When
someone sees your logo, what do
you want people to think about the
business?
According to Toole, these questions really get to the heart of the
matter, a worthy skill to aquire.
If you can learn that skill, anybody you work for, youre going to
make them that much happier, said
Toole.
Then, the students consider how
to make something visual that says
the things the client wants the customer to get through the image.
Thats the hardest part, said
Toole. It will be that much more
appealing to their client if they can
take what their client gave them and
make it.
Last, the students learn to utilize
the software programs most often
used in the work place.
It really benets you to know
what your tool can do, said Toole.
Theyre doing it on their Kindles

OPINION
WOMEN IN THE DRAFT
Dont force
our young
women
into battle
There is work to be
done in America to
promote gender equality. I have daughters
in college, so it is easy
for me as a dad, and as
an American, to hope
they will receive equal
treatment as they
continue on a path
toward their rights to
life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
There is no reason
their gender should
cause them to be treated differently than
men.
Theyre fortunate
to be women in the
United States. Our
country is way ahead
of much of the world
in gender equality.
In some parts of the
world, women arent
allowed to vote or run
for elected ofce, or
are required to submit
to arranged marriages, or arent allowed
to drive or must cover
their bodies from head
to toe when in public the list of unjust
treatment is very long.
As Americans,
we cant grasp the
idea of this kind of
antiquated treatment
of women. However,
some areas still show
real problems.
A real, provable-by-statistics
problem exists with a
gender pay gap, where
women do not receive
the same pay as men
for the same work.
In politics, only
20 of the 100 U.S.
Senators are women,
women make up 19.3
percent of the U.S.
House of Representatives and we have yet
to elect a woman as
president.
On the job front,
participation in the
elds of science and
technology are dominated by men and only
a fraction of Fortunate 500 companies
have women as CEOs.
In America, we
should do better.
While we should
always be looking for
ways to erase inequality, action taken by
the United States Senate this summer feels
like a step backward
for our culture. The
Senate passed a bill
which would require
women turning 18 on
or after Jan. 1, 2018, to
be forced to register
for Selective Service.
Similar legislation
has not yet passed
the House, but presidential candidate
Hillary Clinton has
announced support
for the measure.
This means young
women could be drafted into the military
and sent off to war,
into combat.
My daughters are
19 and 20 years old.
They are in college,
but theyre still my babies. Anyone who has
daughters knows the
feeling a father has
for his girls. They are
smart, independent
and responsible girls,
but despite that, I feel
some innate responsibility to take care of
them they are still
young. It is incomprehensible to me that
people in support of
this idea want to send

my daughters into
battle.
An aversion to
requiring young women to enter the draft
should not be taken
as a suggestion that
women shouldnt be
allowed to enter the
military. If they want
to serve in the armed
forces, and can go
through the same basic training and pass
the same tests as required for young men,
then Ill support their
decision and thank
them for serving our
country.
Voluntary service
and a forced draft are
two very different
things.
Granted, the United
States has not used
the draft since 1973
during the Vietnam
War. Outside of World
War III, it doesnt
seem like such a scenario is likely to happen again. If it would
be used, the process
uses a lottery to rst
call upon individuals
who are 20 years old,
followed, if needed, by
those aged 21, 22, 23,
24, 25, 19 and 18 years
old, in that order.
This means an 18
year old woman would
be forced into the military before a 26 year
old man. The thought
of that disgusts me.
Im a 43 year old male
like almost every
father of a daughter,
I would easily and
quickly volunteer to
take my daughters
spot in the armed forces if the need arose.
Experts say the
policy change is inevitable. Since women
are allowed to serve
in any position in the
military there is no
logical basis to say
women should not be
drafted.
Some proponents
try to assuage concerns about the topic
by saying there is no
guarantee that women
drafted into the military would be forced
to the front lines of
battle. But if were
talking real equality
pure blindness to gender why would they
not be?
Can full and total
equality ever be
achieved? I say no.
Using an extreme
example to prove my
point, I cant ever
foresee a day where
seeing a guy punching
a woman in the face
would be thought of in
the same way as a guy
punching a guy in the
face. An assault by a
man on a woman will
always be considered
worse than if two men
fought.
So why would we
consider it okay to
send our young women into a ght? What
does that say about
our country?
Our society needs
to reconsider what
sort of equality should
be pursued, and what
sort of cultural norms
should be retained.
Our elected ofcials
need to scrap the idea
of forcing young women into the military.

Expanding the county airport

would be motivated by elitism
The word opportunity isnt one to use
loosely.
The middle-aged
farmer recognized the
need as he hauled his
wife and her horses
from arena to arena,
practicing and competing in team roping
events. A mechanic by
trade, solving problems
and inventing solutions
came naturally. He
found himself saying,
A guy oughta buy
those lights off the old
Sheriffs place on the
highway and build an
arena around here.
His high school
daughters about lost
it with shock when he
bought the lights.
If you build it, they
will come worked
out for the mechanic,
turned farmer, turned
cowboy. People from
around the state came
to rope on Centennial
Road.
The success was all
about timing. Eventually, the opportunity ran
its course and insurance regulations shut
the show down. The
lights and the shoot,
both are sold. The
crows nest is demolished. The gate only

Market saturation plays

My uncle started a

like hed gotten into the
game at the right time.
He said, Had I gotten
started a couple years
earlier, I would have
doubled my prot.
Timing is to business
as location is to real
estate. The window of
time for the airport opportunity is closed. The
decision was made after
identifying the need for
agricultural business
operations and medical
professional transport,
to develop the Washington County Airport
to where it is today. It
serves that need. When
it comes to utilizing tax
payers money, I can
understand why those
were the top priorities.
I understand that
there were folks who
could have utilized a
more expansive vision
of the country airport.
However, neighboring
communities have
developed their airports
and services and are
available. Now, those
communities who did
build in that window
of time saturate the
market.
In a rural world,
where population has
declined 50 percent
in the past 50 years,
I think requesting
taxpayer money to be
put into an airport
facility in Washington
County at this time is
pure elitism. Sure, Id
like to own an airplane.

And, leave it to my life
that someday I will,
how else am I going to

communities where I
own a newspaper. However, its not my peers
responsibility to help
me pay for that - but
maybe Im just a farm
kid. Where I grew up
the county barely takes
care of the access roads
where we produce food
for a global market. We
learn to work with what
weve got.
In addition, I understand that just around
15 percent of the population in Washington
County have a bachelors degree or higher.
The median income is
less than $45,000. The
tax base just isnt large
enough to support
elitism.
Because elitism is
being sold to the Washington County Board
of Commission, not
opportunity, and they
arent buying.
If it were opportunity
being sold, they would
have started working
with what they were
given nine months ago.
Gnome stumps everywhere?

After driving by the
gnome house on W. 4th
Street, I became curious
about the number of
tree stumps which are
still standing in Washington. So, last week I
drove around the city
and found twenty-six
tree stumps (I am sure
it is possible that I may
have missed some).
I found one stump
which had a mailbox
attached to it and a

orate them using their
own imagination.
Maybe some local
organizations would
be willing to help
the stump owners, if
they are interested in
adding something to
their stumps and want
assistance with their
projects.
What do you think?
Is this just another one
of my crazy ideas?

believe Todd Frye when
he says that. I believe
him even though we
havent historically
shared the same party
views. I believe him
and will vote for him.
His comments and his
actions as a community
leader have convinced
me that he can listen to
both sides and will use
what he learns to create
equitable solutions.
Now is the time for
politicians to start
working for the benet of all the people,

regardless of party
preference.
Life Chain
draws awareness
to lives lost to
abortion
From Mary Ellen
Diederich, Greenleaf
Life Chain Sunday is
this Sunday, October 2,
at 2 p.m. at the junction
of Highways 36 & 15.
The life chain is
an annual peaceful,
prayerful witness of
thousands of Americans standing in honor
of 61 million lives lost
to abortion. We pray for
our nation, for women
in crisis, and for an end
to abortion.
When the life chain
began, close together cities were linked
together by a chain
of praying people. Here
in Washington County,
where the towns are 30
miles apart, we cant
hope for this type of
linking chain, but as
the majority of people
in Washington County are pro-life, we can
hope for a crowd.
This is a simple activity. Anyone and every-

one can participate.

Bring a chair if you
would like to have one,
and an umbrella if it is
raining.
The culture of death
weighs heavily upon
our Nation. It is only
by earnest prayer by
our people that we will
be able to change the
culture of death to a
culture of life. Please
do your part by coming
and joining us in an
hour of silent prayer.
Refreshments will
follow at the park.
Todd Frye is
right choice
From Don McChesney
Munden
This letter is in reference to Todd Frye, candidate for the Kansas
House District No. 106.
I have known three
generations of the Frye
family as they all resided in Haddam. Further,
I had Todd as a student
at North Central High
School in Morrowville.
Todd has always been
one to speak his mind,
but not at the expense
of those around him.
Todd is a family man
who, along with his
wife, Rachel, are raising
three young girls. He is
a very intelligent young

man who has the courage to stand up for his
beliefs. Todd is pro-family, pro-education, and
above all, pro-Kansas.
He believes in nancial
responsibility, but not
nancial disaster for
our state.
Todds government
experience includes
current service on the
Marysville City Council.
Todd is an outstanding choice for this position. Let us select a new
person to the House of
Representatives, one
with no previous political obligation.
Vote yes to
protect hunting
From Richard Tuma
Morrowville
If you or your family like to hunt, sh
or trap, you should be
aware that the proposed
Kansas right to hunt,
sh and trap constitutional amendment
question No. 1 on the
November ballot will
protect our outdoor
traditions from attacks
by well-funded national
anti-hunting groups. Be
sure to vote Yes on
question 1.

Health dept. offers variety of services

After moving to the
new location at 104
E 2nd Street earlier
this year, the staff at
Washington County
Health Department &
Home Health Agency is
getting settled into and
enjoying the newly-renovated facility.
We have been
focused the last several months on getting
unpacked and adjusted
to the new location,
emptying out the old
building to get ready
for the auction and
continuing to provide
uninterrupted services
to the community, said
Administrator Tiffany
Hayman. Weve had
the spring health fair,
back-to-school immunizations and are now
gearing up for u season and the fall health
fair. Its been a very
busy few months.
Hayman and her
staff of six provide
many services, such
as adult and childhood
immunizations, u
shots, school entrance/
well-child physicals
and family planning
services. Healthy Start
Home Visits for pre/
post-natal educational
visits, Women, Infant
& Children (WIC)
program, medication
setup, private attendant
care, allergy shots,
B-12 shots, nail care,
TB testing, nursing
assessments along with
many other screening
services are offered.
Many of the services
receive partial funding
through the Kansas
Department of Health
& Environment. The
department currently
participates in seven
different grant pro-
grams. Participation
in The Vaccines For
Children (VFC) program allows immunizations to be provided
to eligible children 0-18
years of age, often at
no out of pocket cost to
the family. The facility
is also an access site for
the Kansas Statewide
FarmWorker Health
Program.
Home Health Care
through qualifying
Medicare, Medicaid,
and private insurances for skilled nursing,
physical therapy,
occupational therapy,
speech therapy, and
home health aide for
bathing services are
also available. Contracted In-Home services can be provided
through the Area
Agency on Aging programs, which includes
housekeeping, meal
prep, medication management, and bathing
assistance per qualications. Limited private
bathing and private
nurse visits for medication setup are available.
The health department bills services to
Medicare/Medicaid,
private insurance,
private pay, and accepts
cash/checks. At this
time, the agency cannot
accept electronic payment methods. Some
services are available
on a sliding fee scale
as part of the grant
requirements.
Assistive devices
such as wheelchairs,
walkers, toilet seat
risers, etc, are available
for rental at no charge
for county residents.
Donations of these
types of items are also
accepted, and are used
for the free rental program.

Saturday, Oct. 15,
will be the annual Fall
Health Fair, where
participants can receive over 40 different
blood tests, with results
mailed to them and
their personal physician upon request. This
past spring marked the
30th year for the health
fair. The health fair is
organized and staffed
by the health department employees and
many dedicated volunteers from the county
and surrounding areas.
The health fair is
a great benet to the
attendees, and could
not be held without the
many people and organizations who volunteer
their time to help,
Hayman said. We are
extremely grateful for
all of the volunteers,
donations, and teamwork that enable us to
host this event.
Originally, it was
offered annually only
in the spring, but local
physicians requested a
second be offered in the
fall. The spring health
fair is the larger event
of the two, and includes
vendors, door prizes,
and other activities
and participants. On
average, the health
fair serves between
800-1,000 people, with
the record being 1,145
people in 2007.
Walk-in clinic hours
are held on Mondays,
and services will be
available other days
as stafng allows.
During walk-in clinic
hours, no appointment
is necessary. Beginning Monday, Oct. 3,
the department will
remain open over the
lunch hour. Available
services during that
time will depend upon
staff requirements
on a day-to-day basis.
Normal business hours
will be Monday through
Friday, 8am-5pm. The
clinic is closed on county holidays.
Along with Hayman,
the staff includes Mary
Oelschlager, RN; Stephanie Knoettgen, RN;
Eireson Pralle, LPN;
Tammy Voelker, HHA;
Rockie Zabokrtsky,
HHA; and Caroline Scoville, clerk/bookkeeper.
Hayman and her staff
are working on increasing public awareness
about the department
and have recently created a Facebook page,
where scheduled activities such as the health
fair, u clinics, and
other event and education-related activities
may be found.
Hayman said she
is learning lots about
public health and her
new responsibilities.
She encourages anyone
with questions or who
would like to tour the
new facility to contact
the ofce at 785-3252600, or stop by.
Im excited to be a
part of the present and
future of healthcare in
Washington County,
said Hayman.

We came out strong
in this tournament and
really started to play
more consistently, said
coach Jessica Ohlde.
It was awesome to
come away from such
a tough tournament
with second place. We
did struggle with some
very simple things like
passing and serving at
times, but our hitting
was more consistent
which is something
we have been working
on. I was pleased with
the day, as a coach,
because I saw the girls
improving their play
no matter what type
of team we were up
against. We are on the
last half of our season
now, and will have a few
weekends off where we
can rest up, condition,
and prepare for our
remaining league
schedule.

Iain had to work hard

not to give up. Ryan

steady runner and is
learning to compete. I
am certain he will have

in his improvement as
he is in his running. He
was not sure that he
had anything left for a

This game was a

hoping for a better

outcome than last year.
Hoisington had most

I thought our boys
fought hard for the
whole game. It was 14-6

they put a 97-yard drive

took a lot out of us. We
had chances to stop
them on that drive but
just couldnt make the
