Dale Love and Terra Kublak Chestnut 

Terra’s Dream Comes True 

By Jon A. Brake 

As a young girl growing up in 

Humboldt, Nebr. Terra Kublak 

Chestnut traveled US 77 going 

through Blue Rapids many times. 

Terra’s father Joe Kublak worked 

for the U.S. Forestry Dept. in 

Nebraska and on weekends the 

family would drive to Cleburne, 

Ks where Joe developed Red Bud 

Acres. This is an area close to 

Tuttle Creek with cabins and 

camping areas. 

Terra said that on the way down 

on Friday they would stop at the 

Daisy Cream and on the way back 

home Sunday night they would 

stop at the Sands Restaurant for 

the “Sunday night special.” 

Terra said that as a young girl 

she said that someday she wanted 

to own the Sands. 

For Terra that someday is here. 

This fall Terra, her son Ethan 

and Dale Love moved to Blue 

Rapids to start the big job of putting 

the Sands Motel back in 

working order. 

“We would like to have two of 

the rooms ready to go in the next 

month.” It is going to take a lot of 

work getting the nine motel 

rooms, the living quarters and the 

restaurant back in business. 

Terra purchased the business in 

2006 but could not move here 

until now. The motel and restaurant 

have not operated for many 

years. 

“When we walked in all the 

beds were made, towels were on 

the racks and packaged soap were 

placed on the sinks.” 

Terra and Dale are taking things 

one step at a time. Well, one at a 

time until they get it started and 

then it is on to something else. As 

you can see the building needed 

new breaker boxes, new water 

lines are plumbed to all of the 

rooms. Some drains will need to 

be replaced. New fixtures are 

Getting electricity to all of the rooms and restaurant requires new 

electrical boxes. The Sands Motel and sign have been a fixture in 

Blue Rapids since the 1960’s. 

needed in the rooms. They are also 

working on the living quarters which 

need everything from carpet to a new 

kitchen sink. 

Putting the Sands Motel and 

Restaurant back on the map is going 

to take a lot of work. 

But for Terra and Dale the work 

will get done. The motel will open 

one or two rooms at a time and the 

Restaurant will be ready sometime 

next fall. All of this work will get 

The Sands Motel will start operating as the rooms become available. Terra hopes to have the first 

two rooms ready in about a month.

Georgia-Pacific Honors 

Waterville Fire Department 

ATLANTA – Georgia-Pacific has 

selected the Waterville Fire Department 

as one of its 2011 Bucket 

Brigade grant recipients. Georgia- 

Pacific selected 25 fire departments 

from the more than 300 communities 

where it has facilities in the United 

States. 

“The Waterville Fire Department is 

located close to our facility and provides 

a tremendous service to us and 

the entire community,” said Joe 

Bruton, plant manager for Georgia- 

Pacific Gypsum in Blue Rapids. “We 

are proud to play a role in providing 

equipment that may save a resident’s 

or firefighter’s life with this award, 

which emphasizes Georgia-Pacific’s 

overall commitment to safety.” 

Now in its sixth year, the Georgia- 

Pacific Bucket Brigade program has 

contributed nearly $800,000 to help 

rural and small town fire units operating 

in Georgia-Pacific communities. 

The grants have been used to 

purchase much-needed equipment 

that helps protect the lives and property 

of residents as well as their firefighters. 

“We are pleased to accept this 

Georgia-Pacific Bucket Brigade 

grant, which will help us purchase 

new, NFPA compliant equipment 

such as a self-contained breathing 

apparatus,” said Dane Parker, fire 

chief for the Waterville Fire 

Department. “With updated equipment, 

our firefighters are better able 

to protect the community and safely 

and confidently respond to emergency 

situations.” 

The other 2011 Bucket Brigade 

grant recipients were from communities 

in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, 

Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi, New 

York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, 

Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.

Beck working with the “dirt

Brigade is a national program that 

recognizes and supports the contributions 

of fire and rescue units in communities 

with Georgia-Pacific facilities. 

The program supports firefighters 

in several areas including cash 

donations for equipment and safety 

education materials for presentations 

in local schools. 

“Fire and rescue units in our local 

communities play such a vital role in 

safety. They are often the only emergency 

units in towns where we have 

operations,” said Jim Hannan, chief 

executive officer and president. “It 

means a lot to our employees and our 

company to be able to support these 

departments through our Bucket 

Brigade grants.” 

Headquartered at Atlanta, Georgia- 

Pacific is one of the world’s leading 

manufacturers and marketers of 

building products, tissue, packaging, 

paper, cellulose and related chemicals. 

The company employs 40,000 

people at 300 locations in North 

America, South America and Europe. 

Georgia-Pacific is a wholly-owned 

subsidiary of Koch Industries Inc., a 

privately-owned company headquartered 

in Wichita, Kan. Both companies 

have a strong tradition of 

focused community investment in 

communities where they have operations. 

Georgia-Pacific and other 

Koch companies have contributed 

more than $140 million for charitable 

causes during the past five years. 

In Kansas, Koch companies 

employ more than 2,500 people 

directly and support 5,700 Kansas 

jobs in total. State-based non-profit 

organizations have benefited from 

approximately $13 million in contributions 

from Koch companies in the 

past five years as well as from countless 

hours of volunteerism from 

employees.

Team Strengths: 

▪ We will have more depth compared to last 

year 

▪ Young talent that will produce over the next 

3 to 4 years 

Team Weaknesses: 

▪ We lack size 

▪ Shooting 

Strengths and Weaknesses at Spots: 

Point Guard: A position that hasn’t been consistent 

for us the past few years that looks more 

promising this year and in the future with junior, 

Tanner Trimble (Tanner missed last year 

with an injury) and sophomore Bennett 

Bargdill. He has great court vision and is very 

crafty. 

Guards: Senior, Mar E. Whitson will lead the 

wings with his ability to shoot the ball. He is a 

competitor and may be the emotional leader for 

our team. Other wings will be sophomore, 

Derek Trimble who saw limited action last year 

at the varsity level. He is an athletic kid that 

will help us with rebounding, defense, and scoring 

in transition. Freshman, Elijah Smith has 

the athleticism to play but mentally may be 

unprepared. 

Forwards/Centers: Sophomore, Charles Musil 

will lead the group of forward/centers. Charles 

is the only returning starter and will be expected 

to increase his offensive production from last 

year. He has put in hundreds of hours over the 

summer and it will be evident when he takes 

the court this winter. Junior, Dylan Parker will 

play a key role in the 4 spot. He is a solid 

rebounder and has the ability to step out and 

shoot. Junior, Sheldon Kenworthy will also fill 

in around Musil and Parker. Freshman, Gage 

Woodyard will most likely see some action 

because of his athleticism and mental understanding 

of the game. 

Style of play to be expected: 

Defensively, we will be an aggressive, helping 

team. We will implement any and every 

defense scheme that puts our kids and team in a 

position to be successful. 

Scoring in transition and turning our defense 

into offense will be a key to us scoring. We will 

be aggressive driving to the basket and trying to 

get to the free throw line. Hopefully, this will be 

the year we improve our field goal percentage 

from 10’ and out. 

Keys for our team to be successful: 

▪ Stay Healthy 

▪ Focus & daily improvement with our young 

team 

▪ Shoot the ball at a high percentage from the 

perimeter 

My thoughts on the season: 

We have had the best summer, basketball 

wise, since I have been at Valley Heights. I am 

extremely excited to start the year with the 

group of kids we have this year. We are young 

and inexperienced at the varsity level but I 

think many of our underclassmen will surprise 

people. It will be interesting to see what substate 

we get into now that we dropped to 1A. 

Lost to Graduation: 

We lost 4 key starters from last years team, 

82% of our scoring, and 67% of our rebounding.

Chapter 11 

The Flying 

Machine 

Last Chapter: Escaping from the 

harrowing experience of being a runaway 

slave, Jack and Mollie meet a woman who 

nursed soldiers at Fort Hays during a 

cholera epidemic. On the time machine’s 

computer, they learn she might have been 

Elizabeth Polly. The twins put on their 

glasses and are thrilled to be in Hays, but 

soon realize that time has stood still and no 

one can see or hear them. 

“Good thing we don’t get tired,” Mollie 

said as they walked toward home. 

“It doesn’t matter how long it takes 

either,” Jack said, shrugging his shoulders. 

“Time stands still anyway.” 

A few cars and trucks rolled past the 

twins, but as usual no one could see them. 

They stayed close to the edge of the road, 

wondering if they were real enough to get 

hit. They laughed a little about it, although 

being invisible was really not that funny. 

The house looked the same and Dog 

was still on the porch. He raised his head 

and his tail thumped twice and went still. 

They reached down to pet him and he 

sighed, laid his head on his outstretched 

paws, and closed his eyes. 

“I think he senses us,” Mollie said. “But 

he can’t see us.” 

“The door’s still locked and the car’s 

gone so Mom and Dad are probably still in 

town.” Jack looked toward the barn. “I bet 

we’re still in there.” 

“Get the key and we’ll look,” Mollie 

said, a strange feeling coming over her. 

Would it be creepy to see yourself? 

“Just a minute.” Jack eyes darted from 

the time machine, still on their right every 

time they looked, and back toward the 

barn. “Maybe we should check our 

departure time.” 

“We’re not going, are we?” Mollie said, 

as she stood beside her brother in the time 

machine, her eyes on the computer screen. 

“We have five minutes to decide,” Jack 

said. 

“I vote we don’t,” Mollie said. 

“If we don’t, will we be lost in some 

time warp, unable to go on into another 

time and not able to come back to this time 

either?” 

“Oh.” Mollie’s face paled. “We are sort

Curious chemistry students 

learn how to distill or clean 

water as an experiment on 

Tuesday October 25, 2011. 

The students boiled water containing 

potassium permanganate, 

which dyes the water 

purple. The steam from the 

water ran down plastic tubing 

into a test tube that captured 

the steam resulting in cleansed 

water. Mr. Crawford, the 

chemistry and physics teacher, 

told the students that this distillation 

experiment would be 

the most dangerous one of the 

year due to the chance of 

burns from steam and the bubbling 

water. So far the students 

think the chemistry class is a 

challenge but fun at the same 

time. “It was an enlightening

of like ghosts. If Mom and Dad were home 

right now, even they couldn’t see us.” 

“The time machine is probably invisible, 

too.” Jack sighed. “So we’d better go on.” 

Mollie nodded, tears stinging her eyes. 

As they waited, Jack tried to cheer up his 

sister and himself as well. “Maybe this time 

we’ll go flying with Amelia Earhart. She 

grew up in Atchison, you know.” 

“I’d rather just go to her museum,” 

Mollie said. “Although, I bet she’d be fun 

to know. Wouldn’t it be something if we 

could find out what happened to her?” 

“Her plane went down somewhere over 

the ocean. The time machine doesn’t go 

beyond Kansas.” 

“I know,” Mollie said. “Grandma 

Andrews is a big fan of hers. I bet Grandma 

would love to fly around the world.” 

“Maybe,” Jack said, “But I think she likes 

her because she’s named for her. Her mother 

listened to the radio every day for news of 

her progress. She even drew a map and 

marked it every day. Grandma was born a 

few days before the plane disappeared.” 

Jack sighed. “It’s too bad she didn’t make 

it. A few men had flown over the top of the 

world, but she wanted to go the longer way, 

around the equator.” 

“Maybe we’ll go back to her time and 

meet her,” Mollie said. “It would be sad

experience and it was better than doing bookwork,” says Casi Cochrane, Jr. 

though, knowing what was going to happen 

to her.” 

Mollie was still thinking about Amelia 

Earhart when the ticking sound began. 

This time the twins found themselves 

standing just inside the open doorway of a 

huge airport hanger where two men stood 

beside an odd looking machine. 

“You weren’t far off,” Mollie said. 

Jack grinned. “It’s some kind of a flying 

machine anyway.” 

“It looks like a go-cart with double 

wings.” Mollie turned to question a man 

beside her. “What is it?” 

The big man smiled. “That, little lady, is 

Purvis and Wilson’s flying machine. It’s 

going to put Goodland, Kansas, right smack 

on the map and be written up in all the big 

newspapers just like the Wright Brothers 

were seven years ago.” 

“Seven years ago?” Mollie said. 

“Yep, little lady. In 1903.” 

A sudden silence fell over the crowd as 

one of the men beside the machine stepped 

forward and raised his hand. 

“Most of you know me, William Purvis, 

and my partner here, Charlie Wilson. 

“As you’ll recall from seeing the model 

launched last Thanksgiving, this machine is 

designed to go straight up in the air, fly to 

its destination, and then set straight down on 

the ground. It’ll be handy for getting in and 

out of tight places.” 

Earnestly, he continued to praise the 

gyrocopter as he called it, and the crowd 

cheered and clapped when he finished. 

Eagerly the people moved back to give 

them room as the two men rolled their 

machine out into the open field next to the 

hanger. They waited in breathless silence as 

the men readied their gyrocopter. 

The motor roared to life. The gyrocopter 

lifted … maybe a few feet, maybe not. 

Afterwards, the twins weren’t sure. Then it 

tipped over and the two sets of huge double 

blades smashed onto the ground. 

A cry went up from the crowd and the 

two men stared helplessly at the ruined 

machine. Jack looked at Mollie and shook 

his head. “Let’s go,” he said. 

They had come to this place with their 

glasses in their pockets and now they 

slipped them on, glad to escape what had to 

be embarrassing, as well as a huge 

disappointment, for the two men. 

Inside the time machine they went to the 

computer to read about the gyrocopter. 

They were pleased to see that Goodland’s 

High Plains Museum had a full-sized replica 

Kandice Haile moves in to light the burner while Kaitlyn Wilson prepares to record 

data and Casi Cochrane finishes setup.

and they thought it would be fun to come 

see it someday when they were back in their 

real lives. But they were sorry to read that 

the gyrocopter broke the men financially and 

they never realized their dream. The men’s 

loss made them think of their parents and 

their struggles to build the time machine. 

Imagining their parent’s joy when they 

returned, both Jack and Mollie hoped they 

could soon go home in real time. 

They were happy to read that the two 

men had taken out a patent on their machine, 

the first ever for a vertical flying machine. 

At least the men had that distinction. They 

were surprised that it had taken 40 more 

years before a working helicopter was 

invented. 

Now they remembered that their mom 

had mentioned that Goodland had a huge 

replica of the famous Van Gogh’s painting 

titled Sunflower. The twins stepped outside 

the time machine and looked through their 

glasses at the famous painting. 

“I wish Mom could see this,” Mollie said, 

“I …” She stopped, tears choking her 

voice. She had never been so homesick in 

her life.

Home Notes 

By Susan A. Latta - CEA 

Marshall County Extension Agent 

Last week we discussed what is the difference 

between a credit report and score. 

We also learned the different ways we can 

get our credit report. Maybe you took 

time this week to look up your credit 

report or at least called for your report and 

it is coming to you in the mail. 

Now that you know how to read your 

report and understand what it means here 

are some things you can do to improve 

your credit report and score if you feel 

there is improving to do. 

* Get copies of your credit report and 

check to make sure the information is 

accurate. Remember this is not a one time 

look. You need to look at your report 

yearly unless you are concerned about 

identity theft or other forms of fraud. 

* Pay all bills on time, by the date due. 

Why do you want to give companies more 

money because you have to pay the late 

fee. 

* Pay at least the minimum on each 

account as each bill is received. 

* Pay more than the minimum balance 

if possible, by either setting a larger payment 

amount to pay monthly, and when 

one card is paid off, add this payment to 

your payment on another credit card or

Many visiting college representatives 

came to VHHS to 

hopefully get students interested 

to attend their colleges on 

October 24th. There were

such as Highland Community

loan; or double the minimum balance 

amount due to pay down a balance more 

quickly and reduce interest payments. 

* Stop paying for items with credit 

cards, and pay down outstanding credit 

card debt. 

* Charge only what you can reasonably 

pay off at the end of a billing cycle. 

* Aim to have a running balance of no 

more than 10 percent of the available 

credit limit; maintaining an outstanding 

balance of 50 percent of the available 

credit limit should indicate a ‘red flag’ to 

adjust your plastic spending habits. 

Charging one or more credit cards to the 

limit suggests ‘a poor risk’ and may limit 

future financial opportunities. 

* Beware of credit-repair scams. 

Sometimes, doing it yourself is the best 

and cheapest way to repair your credit. 

* Reduce debt and increase savings. 

* Make choices – prioritize needs, and 

separate needs from wants or unnecessary 

extras. 

* Build an emergency fund, as a few 

hundred dollars may be enough to handle 

small emergencies, such as a new tire or 

plumbing repair, and eliminate the need to 

run up a balance – and interest – on a 

credit card or short-term loan. Fifteen 

hundred dollars can be enough to handle a

medium-sized emergency such as having 

to travel out-of-state on short notice in the 

event of a family illness or death. 

Having some money available in a cash 

account can reduce the stress in an already 

stressful situation. Begin by saving as little 

as $5 or $10 a week (to accumulate 

$260 to $520 a year) and begin developing 

a financial life-changing habit. 

Setting a goal to save the equivalent of 

one or more months’ income in an emergency 

fund is advisable. Most people find 

it is easier to do this by saving something 

from every paycheck, transferring money 

from checking to savings accounts regularly, 

and taking advantage of job-related 

retirement saving options. A 401K plan is 

an example. 

* Use an income tax refund, overtime 

wages or holiday bonuses to jumpstart a 

larger and more substantial emergency 

fund. Most financial advisors recommend 

aiming for three- to six-months income in 

major emergency savings in the event of 

job loss, unexpected health care expenses, 

or major household expenses.

No. 11 Sooners roll over No. 10 K-State, 58-17 

By DAVE SKRETTA 

AP Sports Writer 

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) 

_ Landry Jones and Ryan 

Broyles put Oklahoma's season 

back on track. 

Now, Kansas State will see 

if it can bounce back from its 

own loss. 

Jones threw for a schoolrecord 

505 yards and five 

touchdowns Saturday, his All- 

American wide receiver caught 

14 passes for 171 yards and a 

score, and the 11th-ranked 

Sooners took out some pent up 

frustration with a 58-17 

thumping of the No. 10 

Wildcats. 

Their national championship 

hopes dashed by Texas Tech 

last week _ along with their 

39-game home winning streak 

_ the Sooners (7-1, 4-1) 

spoiled the same hopes harbored 

by Kansas State. 

Jones shattered the previous 

school record for yards passing 

of 468, which he had shared 

with Sam Bradford, and 

moved into first place on the 

Oklahoma career list with 90 

touchdown passes. 

``We just came out with a 

focus,'' he said with a shrug. 

``Kept playing ball.'' 

Just about the only downer 

on an otherwise splendid 

Saturday afternoon was a season-ending 

injury to leading 

rusher Dominique Whaley, 

who fracture his left ankle on 

the first play of the game. 

Whaley will have surgery 

Sunday to have a pin inserted. 

``Really sad for Dom,'' 

coach Bob Stoops said. ``What 

a great young man. We'll miss 

him.'' 

Perhaps so, but the offense 

looked just fine without him. 

Broyles moved into first 

place on the Big 12's career 

list with 4,499 yards receiving, 

Kenny Stills added four catches 

for 101 yards, and Roy 

Finch finished with 73 yards 

rushing and another 69 

through the air for the Sooners' 

potent, fast-paced attack. 

They wound up with a sea-

son-high 690 yards of offense 

against the Big 12's top 

defense. 

`Òklahoma's a lot better 

than some people would want 

to think, probably, and I did a 

really miserable job of getting 

our football team ready to 

play,'' Kansas State coach Bill 

Snyder said. 

Relying on a smoke-andmirrors 

offense that had been 

consistently out-gained all season, 

Kansas State (7-1, 4-1) 

still managed to piece together 

its best start since 1999. 

It all came undone against 

Oklahoma. 

Collin Klein was sacked 

seven times, the Wildcats were 

penalized an uncharacteristic 

five times, normally reliable 

kicker Anthony Cantele missed 

a chip-shot field goal and a 

defense that had been assignment 

sound all year crumbled 

against the Sooners' relentless 

onslaught. 

`Ìt's really painful,'' cornerback 

David Garrett said, ``but 

they're a good team, a lot of 

great athletes. We've just got to

Kansas State actually led 

17-14 midway through the second 

quarter, but the Sooners 

scored late in the half, and 

John Hubert's fumble with 19 

seconds left allowed Michael 

Hunnicutt to kick a career-long 

53-yard field goal on the final 

play for a 23-17 halftime 

advantage.

Jaz Reynolds for the second of 

his two touchdown catches to 

give Oklahoma a 37-17 lead. 

Finch added a 31-yard 

touchdown run later in the 

third quarter and the rout was 

on. `Ìt was a fun night,'' Jones 

said. ``The offense was executing

and outran the secondary to 

the end zone for a 61-yard 

touchdown run with 11 minutes 

left, a crowd of 51,004 

that had been in such a festive 

mood early in the afternoon 

was heading for the doors. 

Klein finished with 92 yards 

and two TDs rushing for 

Kansas State, but he was just 8 

of 16 for 58 yards through the 

air. Hubert added 71 yards 

rushing, while Nigel Malone 

had two interceptions. 

That was about it for the 

positives. 

Oklahoma scored on six 

straight possessions at one 

point, and the 58 points 

allowed by Kansas State's 

defense were the most by a 

Snyder-coached team at home 

since Nov. 18, 1989, when 

Colorado piled up 59. The 

Wildcats' offense couldn't keep 

up, managing only 32 yards 

after halftime. 

``We knew what kind of 

team they were coming in,'' 

Klein said. `Ìt wasn't a surprise, 

but it was frustrating, 

not being able to execute like 

we were. We were struggling.'' 

The Sooners have won five 

straight in the series, their last 

loss coming in the 2003 conference 

championship game. 

They haven't lost in Manhattan 

since 1996. 

More importantly, they're 

still alive in the Big 12 race. 

The Sooners and Wildcats 

are both chasing undefeated 

Oklahoma State, with Kansas 

State getting the first shot 

against the nation's thirdranked 

team next weekend. 

Oklahoma gets its chance 

against its in-state rival in the 

annual Bedlam game on Dec. 

3. 

``We bounced back the way 

we should,'' Reynolds said 

with a sly smile. ``There were 

some plays that we left out 

there, but we were pretty 

good.''

Family halloween party and haunted house at BR gym 

PLEASE HELP US GET OUR NEW POOL 

There was a great turnout at the haunted house to support the Blue Rapids Swimming Pool’s fundraiser. Jean Gallagher as the friendly witch of the pool committee. 

Looks like someone forgot to take out the trash. It’s amazing what people will do to scare their victims. 

People of all ages came out to support the Blue Rapids pool.

Try not to Scream with this one on the loose. Watch out for the werewolf! 

Looks like the wicked witch of the west upgraded from her bicycle.
