High Winds Hit
By Jon A. Brake
How do they say that? “If you don’t
like the weather in Kansas just wait
five minutes.”
Well, for the past week it has
worked. Rain, wind and thunderstorms
hit the area and you wait fiveminutes
and then another with rain,
wind and thunderstorm hits.
When someone asks, “how much
rain did you get?” you feel like saying
“Five-feet high and risen.”
Waterville and Blue Rapids were hit
Saturday morning with 80 mph winds,
torrential rains and in some areas 1inch
hail damage buildings. The wind
damaged trees in both towns to the
point that streets were all but closed.
Telephone and Electrical linemen
were called in to help get everything
back in working order.
The Vermillion grade school lost a
roof and crops from one side of
Marshall County to the other side
were damaged.
Titan Trailer Mfg of Waterville and
Blue Rapids paid ten employees
Wednesday to work the streets of Blue
Rapids removing tree trash. Thursday
Titan will work in Waterville. The
Company is using their own men and
equipment at no expense to the Cities.
Riley County was reporting more
than $5 million damage was caused by
flash flooding to homes and businesses.
More than 70 properties were damaged
in Keats, Ogden, Manhattan and
Riley County.
Blue Rapids City Council had a special
meeting Wednesday night, the
purpose of the meeting was to approve
a contractor to cut limbs/trees that
could fall into streets & approve overtime
compensation for a city employee.
The city crew will pick up branches
and limbs that were downed in the
storm on Saturday. The pickup will
begin on July 5 and only one round
will be made by the city. All limbs and
branches must be near the curb. Do
not put branches in the streets. Place
limbs parallel to the curb and be sure
all are at the curb by 7 a.m. on July 5.
Nothing will be picked up in the
alleys. You may contact the city office
at 363-7736 for further information.

The backyard at 20 Public Square had damage to a car when a
tree went down.
Two large trees were lost at St Mark Episcopal Church in Blue
Rapids.
Ready For
Bye Bye
Birdie
Preparations are underway for the
Marysville Area Community Theatre’s
upcoming production of Bye Bye
Birdie. The cast has been rehearsing
for over two weeks and the technical
crew has started building the sets and
sewing the costumes.
Producing a large-scale musical production
takes at least seven weeks of
rehearsal and preparation. Audience
members see the hard work of the cast
when they attend a performance.
Sometimes, however, the many hours
put in by the technical crew are overlooked.
Just as important as the cast
members are the crew members
explained Carla Wolfe, the theatre’s
president.
“The actors get a lot of attention
because they’re the ones we see on
stage,” she explained. “However, the
behind-the-scenes work is just as
important. They’re the ones who create
the sets on which we perform and
gather the props we need to tell the
story. Our technical crews are often
our unsung heroes. We couldn’t produce
these big musicals without their
hard work.”
Putting together a production of Bye
Bye Birdie is no small task.
Preparations start at least six months
before the show is presented when the
directors start talking about the show’s
concept and themes. The directors
then meet with the technical leaders to
decide how to stage the musical.
In a production like this, there are a
lot of technical requirements. The play
tells the story of a rock and roll singer,
Conrad Birdie, who is about to be
inducted into the army. Albert
Peterson, his agent, relies on his faithful
secretary, Rose Alvarez, to keep
him and Birdie moving forward in the
world. Rosie concocts one final national
publicity plan before Conrad’s
induction. Conrad will bid a typical
American teen-age girl goodbye with
an all-American kiss. Kim MacAfee in
Sweet Apple, Ohio wins the honor.
The scenes in the show take place in
fourteen different locations. Two
scenes are played in the home of Harry
and Doris MacAfee whose daughter is
the lucky girl chosen to be kissed by
Birdie. The other locations range from
several train stations to a street in
Sweet Apple, the fictional town where
most of the action takes place.
“It’s unrealistic to think that we can
pull off fourteen different scenes,” said
Greg Marples, the musical’s technical
director and set designer. “Well, we
could do it, but people would be sitting
through some long scene changes. We
don’t have the advantages of a modern
theatre where we’re able to fly scenes
in and out or move them on hydraulic
lifts. We have to do everything by
hand and that takes time.”
Between scenes the technical crew
moves set pieces and furniture to
change the show’s location. According
to Wayne Kruse, the show’s director, it
is critical to keep the scene changes
quick. Ideally, a scene change should
take less than ten seconds.
“It’s important to keep the show
flowing,” said Kruse. “This musical
requires high energy which the cast
achieves through some inventive dance
numbers and creative staging. You
don’t want that energy to come to a
halt during a scene change because that
ruins the entire feel of the show. You
don’t want the audience to start shuffling
in their seats because they’re
bored during the scene change.”
Before rehearsals started, Kruse and
Marples met with other community
theatre leaders to discuss how to stage
the musical. They decided that they
weren’t going to realistically interpret
the show which would require believable
sets involving home interiors, the
inside of a bar, and a lodge hall where
the local Shriners meet. Instead, they
decided to suggest the locations and
leave the rest to the audience’s imagination.
To achieve this look, Marples
designed a series of platforms on
which the actors perform. Three different
levels are used to help suggest
the different locations. For example,
the upper platform is used in the scene
that takes place in an upstairs bedroom.
The lower platform becomes the
downstairs living room. These platforms
are also used for other locations.
Set pieces and props change to help
suggest the different locations.
Pat Breeding has the task of painting
the backdrops. Since the set has to be
flexible, she decided to use color to
create the illusion of the locations.
“I’m using blocks of color that will
help us tell the story,” said Breeding.
“Since we’re not trying to be realistic
about what we’re doing, we need to be
bold in our color choices so that the
audience understands our concept. We
can’t mesh some realism with exaggeration.
We need to be true to our original
idea.”
To coordinate with the set’s bold
colors, Carla Wolfe, who is designing
the costumes, made similar choices for
the costumes. All of the teenage girls
will wear brightly colored poodle
skirts and all of the teenage boys will
have bright pants with coordinating
bowling shirts.
“It’s going to be a visually stunning
show,” said Kruse. “Every day new
pieces are added. It’s fun to see everything
come together.”

Kansas Profile - Now That´s Rural:
John Brewer - Wyldewood Cellars
By Ron Wilson, director of the
Huck Boyd National Institute
for Rural Development at
Kansas State University.
Let’s go to the 2002 Winter
Olympics in Utah. There is only
one wine being served here in the
Olympic Village, and it was
selected through a national tasting
competition. Where do you suppose
that wine came from? Would
you believe, from rural Kansas?
John Brewer is owner of
Wyldewood Cellars, the awardwinning
family-owned winery
which produced the winning wine
for the Olympic Village and has
garnered many other awards.
John’s story begins on the family
ranch in the southern Flint Hills.
After growing up there, he studied
physics at K-State and then got a
doctorate at Arkansas before
entering a career in the scientific
equipment business.
While still in graduate school,
he dabbled in making wine. That
interest increased when visiting
his wife’s best friend from college
who married Mike Martini in
Napa, California. Martini is one of
the best red wine makers in the
country.
Meanwhile, John was thinking
about how to make the home family
farm more profitable. He started
doing market research on producing
wine as an alternative crop.
“I would ask people about their
preferences among French-
American hybrids, and people
would say, ‘Yeah, those are good,
but what was really great was
Grandma’s elderberry wine.’ Well,
after I heard that about eight or
nine times, I finally caught on that
this had potential,” John said.
“I got hold of my mother and
said, ‘Do you know anything
about elderberries?’” he said. “She
said, ‘Oh, I’ve been meaning to
talk to you about that. We have
those growing all over the ranch.’”
Karen Vina Merrill
Karen Vina Merrill, 68, Blue
Rapids, died peacefully at home
Saturday, June 19, 2010, with all of
her family nearby.
A service was at 2 p.m. Wednesday,
June 23, at the United Methodist
Church, Blue Rapids. Margaret
Luplow officiated.
Burial was in Prospect Hill
Cemetery north of Blue Rapids.
Karen Merrill was born July 26,
1941, at Blue Rapids, the daughter of
William Arthur and Bernece Geneva
Wilkinson DeWalt.
She married James Blevins in April
1958. They had four children, Laura,
Ray, Jimmy and Teena. They later
divorced.
She married Melvin Merrill in May
1964, and they had one son, Melvin Jr.
They officially adopted a daughter,
Charlene.
Loren Burton
Loren E. Burton, 74, of Marysville,
died Friday, June 18, 2010 at his residence.
A funeral service was held at 10
a.m., Monday, June 21 at the United
Methodist Church in Frankfort. Rev.
Norma Jeane Miller officiated.
Janet Plegge played the organ while
Steve Gleason sang “The Old Rugged
Cross”. Steve played the guitar and
sang “Daddy’s Hands”. The congregation
sang “Amazing Grace”.
Burial was in the Frankfort City
Cemetery.
The pallbearers were Rod Craig,
Bob Koch, Jim Harper, Jim Keller,
Ron Wilson
It was the beginning of something
great. After years of
research, John and his sister
Merry opened Wyldewood Cellars
and started producing and marketing
elderberry wine and related
products. In January 1995, the
business began in a 3,500 square
foot space in downtown Mulvane.
In January 1999, a fire broke out
in a building next to the winery
and everything burned to the
ground.
But John found opportunity in
the disaster and built a much larger
facility near Interstate 35 west
of Mulvane. In the ensuing years,
he continued to grow the business.
Now Wyldewood operates in
more than 36,000 square feet –
more than ten times the space
where it began. As his wine
gained fame, John himself became
an international wine judge – for
years, the only one in Kansas.
One key to business growth was
the health benefits of the elderberry
product.
“We found elderberries were
highly medicinal. They are the
only clinically proven natural
antiviral product, so they prevent
colds and flu. They are a natural
antihistamine, so they stop asthma
in its tracks,” he said.
According to
Education was very important to
Karen. Her family was very proud of
her when she went back to school and
obtained her GED, then took classes
to become a certified nurse’s aide, a
certified dietary manager, and finally
certified medication aide. She started
working at the Blue Valley Nursing
Home in 1976, working in all of these
positions throughout the years. She
later worked at Cambridge Place in
Marysville until she retired in January
2006 due to health issues. She had
previously worked at a spittoon factory
in Barnes.
She kept very busy all of her life.
She enjoyed bingo, fishing, collecting
old dishes and red glass, hunting
arrowheads, mushrooms, old bottles
and visiting with her many friends.
Survivors include her sons Melvin
Merrill Jr., Blue Rapids, and Ray
Blevins and wife, Jenny, Seneca; her
daughters, Laura Pinnick and husband,
Jack, Blue Rapids, Teena
Larry Hicks, Casey Jones, Mike
Caffrey and Chad Rhodes.
Loren was born September 11,
1935 at Lillis, KS, son of D.H. and
Hazel (Black) Burton.
On November 2, 1958, he married
Norma L. Kenworthy at Beatrice, NE.
He was an over the road truck driver
for 25 years for his brother Ralph
and Studer Truck Line. He then
worked 18 years driving a truck for
the Marshall County Road & Bridge
Department.
Loren lived in Frankfort until moving
to Marysville in 2005. He enjoyed
his grandchildren, fishing, the casino,
drinking coffee and visiting with
friends.
He was preceded in death by his
www.elderberry.net, elderberries
are used for their antioxidant
activity, to lower cholesterol,
improve vision, boost the immune
system, and improve heart health.
They are used for coughs, colds,
flu, bacterial and viral infections
and tonsilitis. Recently, elderberry
flavonoids have been found to
fight the H1N1 virus. Elderberry
juice extract has become a major
seller for the company.
Wyldewood Cellars now produces
over 40 different types of
Kansas wine and has won more
than 400 international awards.
The main production facility is
located near Mulvane, a south
central Kansas town of 5,245 people.
That’s rural – but there’s
more. The business has expanded
to include retail outlets in Wichita,
Legends Mall in Kansas City,
Kan., St. Joseph, Ill., and along I-
70 at the rural community of
Paxico, population 210 people.
Now, that’s rural. Wyldewood
Cellars’ products are sold wholesale
all over the U.S. For more
information, go to www.wyldewoodcellars.com.
John is passionate about his
product, and also about the opportunity
which alternative crops can
provide to producers. He said, “If
the grower can generate three or
five or even ten thousand dollars
per acre in alternative specialty
crops, a medium-sized farm can
be viable and we can enhance
rural life.”
It’s time to leave the Olympic
Village, where wine from Kansas
was exclusively served. We commend
John and Merry Brewer and
all those involved with
Wyldewood Cellars for making a
difference with innovation and
marketing of this specialty crop.
For rural Kansas, that’s a success
story of Olympian proportions.

Lugar’s Energy and Climate Plan:
More Big Government,
Less Consumer Choise
On June 9, Senator Dick Lugar (R–IN)
introduced his Practical Energy and Climate
Plan. As Lugar promised, the bill does not
contain a cap-and-trade or carbon pricing provision;
however, it does include a host of
mandates and regulations that would hurt the
consumer in the name of reducing dependence
on foreign oil and reducing greenhouse
gas emissions.
Creating new energy efficiency standards
and a diverse energy standard would restrict
consumer choice and hinder the ability of free
enterprise to innovate and develop more efficient
technologies. The right way to create a
diverse energy market is to limit government
involvement and introduce real regulatory
reforms.
Dictating What to Drive
Lugar’s bill contains a plethora of what
may sound like intuitively good ideas but
instead adversely impact the consumer. One
such provision, an idea not new to
Washington, is improving vehicle fuel efficiency
by legislating stricter Corporate
Average Fuel Economy standards, which
would account for a large part of the reduction
in oil consumption. The bill would codify a
joint rulemaking from the Environmental
Protection Agency and National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration requirements of
34.1 miles per gallon 2016 for all automakers
in the U.S, subsequently increase fuel standards
4 percent annually, and establish standards
for medium and heavy vehicles for
model years 2017 or sooner.
The legislation would also offer a rebate for
the purchase of a passenger or light-duty vehicle
that is the most fuel efficient in its class.
This rebate would be funded with a tax on the
least efficient model within the same class.
This “government knows best” philosophy
prevalent in Lugar’s bill ignores the unintended
consequences that come with miles-pergallon
increases. Fuel efficiency standards
raise the sticker price of vehicles and often
make them lighter, less safe, and more expensive.
One study projects that the price of midsize
cars would increase $4,500 to $6,000.
Mandating an expansion of fuel-efficiency
could damage the automakers if consumer
demand fails to meet the government’s expectations.
Consumers already have a wide variety of
choices when it comes to purchasing a vehicle,
including a growing number of hybrid
vehicles. The government does not need to
mandate more. Moreover, Americans prefer
larger, safer vehicles for practical reasons, so
discouraging them from buying these vehicles
needlessly restricts consumer choice.
Dictating How to Build and What to Buy
The bill includes new efficiency standards
for new residential and commercial construction
as well as tax breaks for retrofitting
homes, small businesses, and commercial
buildings. The bill also accelerates appliance
efficiency standards and calls on the Secretary
of Energy to identify additional appliances
and equipment that “have significant national
energy savings potential” to be included for
future performance standard mandates.
Producers and consumers do not need government
mandates and subsidies to be more
energy efficient. Being energy efficient usually
reduces costs and increases profitability.
Thus, market forces already encourage energy
efficiency. Government mandates serve only
to diminish personal liberty and constrain the
market’s ability to operate.
Moreover, government subsidies are not
needed to purchase more energy-efficient
products. A recent survey of the
Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy
Star labeling program, which identifies energy-efficient
products, found that 62 percent of
these households were either “very likely” or
“somewhat likely” to buy the product without
the government handout. Forced reduction in

energy use, on the other hand, causes reduced
product performance, reliability, and longevity.
A Diverse Domestic Power Standard
Lugar’s diverse energy standard would
greatly expand the flexibility of a carbon-free
energy standard to include coal with carbon
capture and sequestration (CCS) and nuclear
energy. But more significantly, it includes
qualifying emissions-free energy sources.
While Lugar’s plan is less onerous than a
renewable electricity standard (RES)—which
mandates that a predetermined percentage of
electricity must come from governmentselected
energy sources—it still is not the
right way to promote cleaner energy technologies.
An RES plan includes only a few viable
sources to meet the electricity standard, most
notably wind and solar. This signals to producers
that wind and solar is the way forward
and reduces the incentive to invest in other
technologies. A diverse energy standard, on
the other hand, reduces this crowding out
effect by including CCS, nuclear, and potential
sources that may have not yet been invented.
To date, Lugar’s plan is the best attempt to
remain technology-neutral, but that does not
make a diverse energy plan a good idea.
A diverse domestic power standard—along
with government subsidies—allows the government
to pick sources that do not emit carbon
dioxide as winners and those that do as
losers. For instance, the bill includes an additional
$36 billion in loan guarantees for new
nuclear power plants when $18.5 billion has
already been signed into law. Subsidizing the
nation’s way to a carbon-free economy is not
a prudent approach to create a robust and
diverse energy market; in fact, it will cause a
dependent and stagnant one. It may reward an
energy producer in the short term but will hurt
both producers and consumers in the long run.
A Better Approach
A more prudent approach to promoting carbon-free
energy sources includes:
* Real nuclear energy reform. Streamlining
the onerous regulatory process for nuclear
energy plants would allow plants to come
online quicker, creating predictability and
opening competition for new technologies.
* Immediate tax deductions. Congress
should allow investors to take a tax deduction
for all new plant and equipment costs irrespective
of industry or type of equipment.
This would allow cleaner, more efficient technologies
to come online sooner.
* Peel back regulations on renewable energy.
Unnecessary regulatory red tape holds up
renewable energy ventures, makes them prohibitively
more expensive, and deters investment.
Reducing this bureaucracy would allow
the free market to develop new energy technologies
more quickly.
* Limit litigation. Environmental
activists delay new energy projects by filing
endless administrative appeals and lawsuits.
Creating a manageable timeframe for groups
or individuals contesting energy plans would
avert potentially cost-effective ventures from
being tied up for years in litigation.
The Big Government Energy Plan
Senator Lugar’s energy bill offers a short
sigh of relief in that it does not include cap
and trade, and the energy standard is far less
restricting than in previous congressional proposals.
But the relief stops there. The bill does
not offer a sound alternative to cap and trade
or renewable electricity standards but instead
will prompt more unnecessary government
intervention in the energy economy—and
with it, a loss of liberty.

Alexander Hamilton
The Federalist Papers
The Federalist No. 6
Concerning Dangers from
Dissensions Between the States
Independent Journal
Wednesday, November 14, 1787
[Alexander Hamilton]
To the People of the State of
New York:
THE three last numbers of this
paper have been dedicated to an enumeration
of the dangers to which we
should be exposed, in a state of disunion,
from the arms and arts of foreign
nations. I shall now proceed to
delineate dangers of a different and,
perhaps, still more alarming kind -those
which will in all probability
flow from dissensions between the
States themselves, and from domestic
factions and convulsions. These have
been already in some instances slightly
anticipated; but they deserve a
more particular and more full investigation.
A man must be far gone in Utopian
speculations who can seriously doubt
that, if these States should either be
wholly disunited, or only united in
partial confederacies, the subdivisions
into which they might be thrown
would have frequent and violent contests
with each other. To presume a
want of motives for such contests as
an argument against their existence,
would be to forget that men are ambitious,
vindictive, and rapacious. To
look for a continuation of harmony
between a number of independent,
unconnected sovereignties in the
same neighborhood, would be to disregard
the uniform course of human

events, and to set at defiance the accumulated
experience of ages.
The causes of hostility among
nations are innumerable. There are
some which have a general and
almost constant operation upon the
collective bodies of society. Of this
description are the love of power or
the desire of pre-eminence and
dominion -- the jealousy of power, or
the desire of equality and safety.
There are others which have a more
circumscribed though an equally
operative influence within their
spheres. Such are the rivalships and
competitions of commerce between
commercial nations. And there are
others, not less numerous than either
of the former, which take their origin
entirely in private passions; in the
attachments, enmities, interests,
hopes, and fears of leading individuals
in the communities of which they
are members. Men of this class,
whether the favorites of a king or of a
people, have in too many instances
abused the confidence they possessed;
and assuming the pretext of
some public motive, have not scrupled
to sacrifice the national tranquillity
to personal advantage or personal
gratification.
The celebrated Pericles, in compliance
with the resentment of a prostitute,1
at the expense of much of the
blood and treasure of his countrymen,
attacked, vanquished, and destroyed
the city of the Samnians. The same
man, stimulated by private pique
against the Megarensians,2 another
nation of Greece, or to avoid a prose-
cution with which he was threatened
as an accomplice of a supposed theft
of the statuary Phidias,3 or to get rid
of the accusations prepared to be
brought against him for dissipating
the funds of the state in the purchase
of popularity,4 or from a combination
of all these causes, was the primitive
author of that famous and fatal war,
distinguished in the Grecian annals by
the name of the Peloponnesian war;
which, after various vicissitudes,
intermissions, and renewals, terminated
in the ruin of the Athenian commonwealth.
The ambitious cardinal, who was
prime minister to Henry VIII., permitting
his vanity to aspire to the triple
crown,5 entertained hopes of succeeding
in the acquisition of that
splendid prize by the influence of the
Emperor Charles V. To secure the
favor and interest of this enterprising
and powerful monarch, he precipitated
England into a war with France,
contrary to the plainest dictates of
policy, and at the hazard of the safety
and independence, as well of the
kingdom over which he presided by
his counsels, as of Europe in general.
For if there ever was a sovereign who
bid fair to realize the project of universal
monarchy, it was the Emperor
Charles V., of whose intrigues Wolsey
was at once the instrument and the
dupe.
The influence which the bigotry of
one female,6 the petulance of another,7
and the cabals of a third,8 had in
the contemporary policy, ferments,
and pacifications, of a considerable
part of Europe, are topics that have
been too often descanted upon not to
be generally known.
To multiply examples of the agency
of personal considerations in the production
of great national events,
either foreign or domestic, according
to their direction, would be an unnecessary
waste of time. Those who have
but a superficial acquaintance with
the sources from which they are to be
drawn, will themselves recollect a
variety of instances; and those who
have a tolerable knowledge of human
nature will not stand in need of such
lights to form their opinion either of
the reality or extent of that agency.
Perhaps, however, a reference, tending
to illustrate the general principle,
may with propriety be made to a case
which has lately happened among
ourselves. If Shays had not been a
desperate debtor, it is much to be
doubted whether Massachusetts
would have been plunged into a civil
war.
But notwithstanding the concurring
testimony of experience, in this particular,
there are still to be found
visionary or designing men, who
stand ready to advocate the paradox
of perpetual peace between the States,
though dismembered and alienated
from each other. The genius of
republics (say they) is pacific; the
spirit of commerce has a tendency to
soften the manners of men, and to
extinguish those inflammable humors
which have so often kindled into
wars. Commercial republics, like
ours, will never be disposed to waste
themselves in ruinous contentions
with each other. They will be governed
by mutual interest, and will cultivate
a spirit of mutual amity and
concord.
Is it not (we may ask these projectors
in politics) the true interest of all
nations to cultivate the same benevolent
and philosophic spirit? If this be
their true interest, have they in fact
pursued it? Has it not, on the contrary,
invariably been found that momen-

tary passions, and immediate interest,
have a more active and imperious
control over human conduct than general
or remote considerations of policy,
utility or justice? Have republics
in practice been less addicted to war
than monarchies? Are not the former
administered by men as well as the
latter? Are there not aversions,
predilections, rivalships, and desires
of unjust acquisitions, that affect
nations as well as kings? Are not popular
assemblies frequently subject to
the impulses of rage, resentment, jealousy,
avarice, and of other irregular
and violent propensities? Is it not well
known that their determinations are
often governed by a few individuals
in whom they place confidence, and
are, of course, liable to be tinctured by
the passions and views of those individuals?
Has commerce hitherto done
anything more than change the
objects of war? Is not the love of
wealth as domineering and enterprising
a passion as that of power or
glory? Have there not been as many
wars founded upon commercial
motives since that has become the
prevailing system of nations, as were
before occasioned by the cupidity of
territory or dominion? Has not the
spirit of commerce, in many
instances, administered new incentives
to the appetite, both for the one
and for the other? Let experience, the
least fallible guide of human opinions,
be appealed to for an answer to
these inquiries.
Sparta, Athens, Rome, and
Carthage were all republics; two of
them, Athens and Carthage, of the
commercial kind. Yet were they as
often engaged in wars, offensive and
defensive, as the neighboring monarchies
of the same times. Sparta was
little better than a well-regulated
camp; and Rome was never sated of
carnage and conquest.
Carthage, though a commercial
republic, was the aggressor in the
very war that ended in her destruction.
Hannibal had carried her arms
into the heart of Italy and to the gates
of Rome, before Scipio, in turn, gave
him an overthrow in the territories of
Carthage, and made a conquest of the
commonwealth.
Venice, in later times, figured more
than once in wars of ambition, till,
becoming an object to the other
Italian states, Pope Julius II. found
means to accomplish that formidable
league,9 which gave a deadly blow to
the power and pride of this haughty
republic.
The provinces of Holland, till they
were overwhelmed in debts and taxes,
took a leading and conspicuous part in
the wars of Europe. They had furious
contests with England for the dominion
of the sea, and were among the
most persevering and most implacable
of the opponents of Louis XIV.
In the government of Britain the
representatives of the people compose
one branch of the national legislature.
Commerce has been for ages the predominant
pursuit of that country. Few
nations, nevertheless, have been more
frequently engaged in war; and the
wars in which that kingdom has been
engaged have, in numerous instances,
proceeded from the people.
There have been, if I may so
express it, almost as many popular as
royal wars. The cries of the nation and
the importunities of their representatives
have, upon various occasions,
dragged their monarchs into war, or
continued them in it, contrary to their
inclinations, and sometimes contrary
to the real interests of the State. In that
memorable struggle for superiority
between the rival houses of Austria
and Bourbon, which so long kept
Europe in a flame, it is well known
that the antipathies of the English
against the French, seconding the
ambition, or rather the avarice, of a
favorite leader,10 protracted the war
beyond the limits marked out by
TO BUY OR SELL - CALL PRELL
sound policy, and for a considerable
time in opposition to the views of the
court.
The wars of these two last-mentioned
nations have in a great measure
grown out of commercial considerations,
-- the desire of supplanting and
the fear of being supplanted, either in
particular branches of traffic or in the
general advantages of trade and navigation,
and sometimes even the more
culpable desire of sharing in the commerce
of other nations without their
consent.
The last war but between Britain
and Spain sprang from the attempts of
the British merchants to prosecute an
illicit trade with the Spanish main.
These unjustifiable practices on their
part produced severity on the part of
the Spaniards toward the subjects of
Great Britain which were not more
justifiable, because they exceeded the
bounds of a just retaliation and were
chargeable with inhumanity and cruelty.
Many of the English who were
taken on the Spanish coast were sent
to dig in the mines of Potosi; and by
the usual progress of a spirit of resentment,
the innocent were, after a while,
confounded with the guilty in indiscriminate
punishment. The complaints
of the merchants kindled a violent
flame throughout the nation,
which soon after broke out in the
House of Commons, and was communicated
from that body to the ministry.
Letters of reprisal were granted, and a
war ensued, which in its consequences
overthrew all the alliances
that but twenty years before had been
formed with sanguine expectations of
the most beneficial fruits.
From this summary of what has
taken place in other countries, whose
situations have borne the nearest
resemblance to our own, what reason
can we have to confide in those reveries
which would seduce us into an
expectation of peace and cordiality
between the members of the present
confederacy, in a state of separation?
Have we not already seen enough of
the fallacy and extravagance of those
idle theories which have amused us
with promises of an exemption from
the imperfections, weaknesses and
evils incident to society in every
shape? Is it not time to awake from
the deceitful dream of a golden age,
and to adopt as a practical maxim for
the direction of our political conduct
that we, as well as the other inhabitants
of the globe, are yet remote from
the happy empire of perfect wisdom
and perfect virtue?
Let the point of extreme depression
to which our national dignity and
credit have sunk, let the inconveniences
felt everywhere from a lax and
ill administration of government, let
the revolt of a part of the State of
North Carolina, the late menacing disturbances
in Pennsylvania, and the
actual insurrections and rebellions in
Massachusetts, declare --!
So far is the general sense of
mankind from corresponding with the
tenets of those who endeavor to lull
asleep our apprehensions of discord
and hostility between the States, in
the event of disunion, that it has from
long observation of the progress of
society become a sort of axiom in politics,
that vicinity or nearness of situation,
constitutes nations natural enemies.
An intelligent writer expresses
himself on this subject to this effect:
"NEIGHBORING NATIONS (says
he) are naturally enemies of each
other unless their common weakness
forces them to league in a CONFED-
ERATE REPUBLIC, and their constitution
prevents the differences that
neighborhood occasions, extinguishing
that secret jealousy which disposes
all states to aggrandize themselves
at the expense of their neighbors

I have been asked many questions
about controlling marestail
in Roundup Ready
Soybeans. Marestail, also
called horseweed, is difficult to
control in Roundup Ready
Soybeans. Marestail control is
one of Roundup and other
glyphosate herbicide products
weaknesses and in many parts of
the United States marestail has
become resistant to glyphosate
herbicides.
Marestail has probably become
the most widespread glyphosate
resistant weed in Kansas. It has
been especially troublesome in
no-till soybeans. Marestail can
act as either a winter annual or
summer annual weed, so it can
germinate throughout much of the
year. Consequently, marestail that
emerges in the fall or very early
spring can be bolting and fairly
large by soybean planting time. It
is a major mistake to not control
marestail prior to planting soybeans
because it can be very difficult,
if not impossible, to control
from that point on. Thus, two
burndown treatments may be
required before planting soybeans
in some fields.
Spring burndown treatments
that are applied when the
marestail are still in the rosette
stage of growth will provide the
best control. 2,4-D is often included
as part of the burndown treat-

ment for enhanced marestail control,
but you must wait at least 7
days after applying 1 pt of LV4
formulation of 2,4-D before planting
soybeans. The inclusion of
residual herbicides such as Valor
XLT, Sonic, or Authority First will
help provide residual control of
marestail and other important
broadleaf weeds such as waterhemp
and Palmer amaranth.
Always be cautious of the potential
for 2,4-D drift if spraying in
the vicinity of sensitive crops,
such as cotton or grapes.
Another good option for burndown
control of marestail is the
new suite of Kixor containing
products, Sharpen and OpTill.
One advantage of these products
compared to 2,4-D is that they can
be applied anytime prior to soybean
emergence, except on coarsetextured
soils, where there is a 30day
preplant interval. The Kixor
products will still be most effective
if applied before marestail
Unanimous.
The Board also discussed a request
to post new speed limits from the
Marysville City limits south on 12th
Road to Limestone Road and from
12th Road to 11th Terrace from 55
mph to 30 mph. The Board asked
Public Works Administrator to discuss
the issue with the Marysville
Township board and they would discuss
it further next week.
The Board also had a request from
the Fair Board that they would like to
use one of our welding trucks the next
two weekends and our employee who
is on the Fair Board will be doing the
welding. The Board approved the use
of the truck as long as the Fair Board
purchases the fuel for the truck.
Public Works Administrator Mike
Craig recommended to the Board a

starts to bolt. These products will
provide some residual control, as
well.
Although it is best to control
marestail before it starts to bolt,
one option for marestail that is
bolting at the time of soybean
planting would be Ignite herbicide.
Ignite at 29 oz/A plus ammonium
sulfate provided good control
of 6 to 12 inch marestail in an
experiment at Clearwater last
spring. Do not apply Ignite to
emerged soybeans unless Liberty
Link soybeans are planted.
If marestail is present after soybean
emergence, the best option
for postemergence control of
marestail in Roundup Ready soybeans
is probably a tank- mix of
FirstRate or Synchrony herbicides
with a full rate of glyphosate.

sometimes – go for grilled,
broiled, or steamed foods more
often.
2. Order the regular or kidsize
portion. Mega-sized servings
are probably more then you need.
3. Split your order. Share
fries or an extra large sandwich
with a friend.
4. Boost the nutrients in
sandwiches by adding tomato,

It was the consensus of the
Board to continue on to the next
phase of the energy feasibility
study with Trane Corporation.
12. There being no further business
the meeting adjourned at 8:12
p.m.
13. For the fastest breakfast
of all, go with dry cereal and milk.
Make the cereal whole-grain or
bran and you’ll get fiber along
with B vitamins and complex carbohydrates.
14. Instead of a doughnut,
order an English muffin, bagel, or
a plain soft baked pretzel. Lightly
spread the cream cheese or margarine
– or just use jam or jelly.
15. Be “size wise” about
muffins, bagels, croissants and
biscuits. A jumbo muffin has twice
the fat grams and calories as the
regular size.
16. Look for yogurt and fruit
for a quick, on-the-run breakfast
to start your day.
17. Tuck portable, nonperishable
foods in your purse, briefcase
or backpack for on-the-go
snacking. For example, crackers
and peanut butter, small boxes of
cereal, dried fruit, or pretzels are
good choices. Fresh fruit is
already packaged to go. Try a
variety of seasonal fruits.

Marriage Announcement
Crystal Marie Patrick and Antony
Wade Fralin Sr. were married
Thursday June 10, 2010 at the Blue
Springs Fireman’s Memorial Hall.
The red neck theme provided a fun but
simple elegance to the ceremony officiated
by Reverend Theodora Boolin
of the First Baptist Church of
Beatrice.
The Bride was stunning in a vintage,
white, organza gown adorned
with lace and rhinestones setting off
her fair skin and red hair. She wore a
necklace of faceted crystal beads that
once belonged to the groom’s greatgreat
aunt. Crystal’s beautiful red
tresses were crowned with a simple
white headdress. The Groom stood
with her looking handsome in black
suit and sky blue tie and ear to ear
smile. The couple stood before a
backdrop of black and white satin
covered by a curtain of netting dotted
with pink flowers covering an antique
brass stand designed by the groom’s
sister Angela Cary.
Maid of Honor was Crystel Owens
future sister-in-law of the bride,
Bridesmaids Tara Riensche – grooms
cousin, and Katelynne Coyle cousin of
the bride. Best Man Mike Kastor and
Groomsman Doug Kiessling stood for
the groom. Felicia Cary, niece of the
groom, walked as flower girl with Jay
Esslinger, son of the bride, as Ring
Top 8 Wonders Of Kansas History
Inman. After a record-setting
19,146 votes, the Kansas Sampler
Foundation announced the top 8
Wonders of Kansas History. The following,
listed in alphabetical order,
were the top 8 vote getters.
1930s Dust Bowl to Gas
Exploration, Historic Adobe Museum,
Ulysses
Boot Hill Museum/Historic Dodge
City
Council Grove, Santa Fe Trail
National Historic Landmark
Fort Scott National Historic Site,
Fort Scott
Historic Fort Leavenworth,
Leavenworth
Historic Fort Riley, Junction City
Kansas Museum of History, Topeka
Kanza Tribe & Lewis and Clark’s
Independence Creek, Atchison
More than 170 historical sites were
nominated by the public but a selection
committee whittled the list down
to 24 finalists. Criteria required that a
nomination represent significant history
but also give the public something
of visual magnitude to see.
Previously, the highest vote total
came in the 8 Wonders of Kansas
Cuisine contest with 13,863. Kansas
Sampler Foundation director Marci
Penner said, “Once again, we had
votes from every state in the union as
well as from several foreign countries.
The increased number of votes
means more people learned about
Kansas!”
Penner continued, “The results indicate
that voters were most interested
in history that dated back prior to
statehood. The only entrant in the top
8 with “recent” history was the 1930s
Dust Bowl entry at the Historic Adobe
Museum in Ulysses. Then, the Kansas
Museum of History rounded out the

The bride was presented for marriage
by her mother and step-father
Tommy and Mary Edwards of
Marysville, Kansas and the groom was
presented by his parents Joel and
Glenda Fralin of Wymore, NE.
Pastor Boolin tailored the ceremony
specifically for the couple by encompassing
the wedding area in a spiritual
drape of prayer and reverence including
the oft referred to love chapter
top 8 with an appreciative nod from
voters.”
The Kansas Cosmosphere & Space
Center, the Kansas Underground Salt
Museum, and the Eisenhower
Presidential Library and Museum
were chosen as overall 8 Wonders of
Kansas so they were not eligible in the
History contest.
Designed to educate the public
about what there is to see and do in
Kansas and to encourage travel, the
series of 8 Wonders contests are
organized by the Inman-based Kansas
Sampler Foundation.
