Obituaries

Mary Ellen Maschmeier waswelcomed into Heaven in theearly morning of May 21, 2015,reuniting with her husband,Charles, her son, Robert,granddaughter Alexa Ille, herparents Ray Jennings andEmma Schwab, brother BudJennings, sisters Lou Rae Hud-son and Emy Singhisen, and ahost of extended loved ones.

On a cold winter’s day, De-cember 27, 1925, Mary EllenJennings made her appearanceto parents Ray and EmmaWood Jennings near Hickok.The second of five children,Mary Ellen attended school inSatanta and Wichita, and grad-uated high school at the age of16 in Perryton, Tx. She re-turned to Perryton after attend-ing business school in Wichita,where she later met CharlesMaschmeier, a handsome mu-sician farm boy. Mary Ellen al-ways loved to dance, and notsurprisingly, they met at adance where Charles was play-ing in the band. They fell inlove, despite the first impres-sion Charles made on MaryEllen’s mother, as he haddripped chocolate ice cream onhis shirt earlier. With an en-tourage of friends following be-hind, Mary Ellen and Charlesmade the trek to Beaver, Ok.,after a dance July 22, 1944,rousting the judge from hissnug bed so they could be mar-ried.

Together, they made theirhome in Liberal and ruralTurpin, Ok. After nearly sixyears of being childless, andthinking perhaps children werenot in their future, they wel-comed the first of what wouldbe six children in April of 1950.What followed was many yearsof love, laughter and the kindsof adventures you can onlyhave with a loving home with amother who could outworkmost men, keep house, and seta table with delicious hot mealsfor her family. As a trueProverbs 31 wife, her day wasnot over just because her familywas in bed. Saturday evenings,

while Charles played fordances, would find Mary Ellenbaking a cobbler for Sunday’sdinner, pin curling four littlegirls’ hair, shining eight pairs ofshoes, ironing eight sets ofclothes, and ensuring her fam-ily was ready for the 8:00 a.m.services at Grace LutheranChurch in Liberal. Sundaymornings, before church, shewould often prepare for Sun-day’s lunch, which might bejust her family of eight, butoften included beloved friendsdropping by, who would neverleave hungry. Mary Ellen wasknown as Granny, not just toher grandchildren, but to nearlyeveryone who came into her life.

Mary Ellen had either a childor grandchild in the TurpinSchool System for fifty consec-utive years, and she attendednearly all of their variousevents, taking pride in their ac-complishments. Mary Ellen wascontent to let herself be out-shone by her children, grand-children and husband,although she was an accom-plished poet, seamstress,dancer, cook and entertainer.Following the passing of herbeloved husband, Charles, inFebruary of 1988, she madelasting friendships through theorganization, Singles in Agricul-ture, serving several terms onboth the Oklahoma ChapterBoard as well as being electedto the National Board. She wasa member for over twenty years.

Missing her dynamic pres-ence are her children AnnetteIlle and husband, Larry; John-nie Maschmeier and wife Jill;Lou Ella Regier and husband,Marlin; Cara Beth Maschmeier;Teresa Williams and husband,Kevin; daughter-in-law LindaTrujillo; thirteen grandchildrenand 19 great-grandchildren, aswell as the numerous lives shetouched in her short 89 years.

A celebration of the joy thatwas Mary Ellen took place ather church, Grace LutheranChurch at Eleventh and West-ern in Liberal Tuesday, May 26,2015, at 11:00 a.m. with PastorAndrew Wehling presiding. Thefamily has requested for every-one to wear something bright tohonor Mary Ellen. A privatefamily burial will be at LiberalCemetery.

THE ART OF MAKING BISCUITS

For those of you who grew upon homemade biscuits andgravy, there is no substitute forthe real thing. You can buycanned, frozen or even pre-cooked biscuits, but there issomething special about home-made. Many people find biscuit-making a disappointment, asthey end up with somethingcloser to a hockey puck than abiscuit. There is truly an art tobiscuit-making.

While preparing for a sum-mer 4-H Foods Program, I cameacross some information in a1963 Betty Crocker publicationabout making good biscuits. Therecipe and technique are exactlythe same as my mom’s (and herbiscuits are phenomenal), so Ithought I would pass on the“dos and don’ts” to making agood biscuit. The ingredients aresimple: flour, shortening, salt,baking power and milk.

Begin by making sure youmeasure correctly. Alwaysspoon flour into your measuringcup and level it off. It’s best touse a pastry cutter for addingshortening to create particlesabout the size of small peas.Your liquid measurement mayrequire an adjustment; if it lookstoo sticky, add a touch moreflour, or add a touch more milkif it looks too dry.

The mixing is the trickiest

part. Undermixing results incoarse texture and dark spotson the biscuits. If the dough isover mixed it becomes tough,hard and has little volume. Theidea is to leave mini chunks ofshortening in the dough, sowhen it melts it will leave littlepockets of air, creating a soft,flaky biscuit interior.

After your dough is mixed,knead it ever so gently. Do notknead more than 10-12 times.Gently pat the dough into 1/2inch thickness for flaky biscuits,to 1/4 inch for thin, crispy bis-cuits. When cutting biscuits intotraditional circles, it is necessaryto reshape the dough scraps.Each handling makes them alittle tougher and less tender. Wecut our biscuits into squares toeliminate reworking the dough.

It is important to bake bis-cuits at a high temperature, typ-ically 450 degrees. This allowsfor a quick rise of the dough andcontributes to its flakiness.

The following are some poorcharacteristics, and whatcaused them.

If you have low volume bis-cuits it is because:• not enough leavening (bakingpowder),• leavening is old,• too much mixing or han-dling, or• oven temperature was toohigh

If they are tough it is because:

• too little fat,• too much liquid,• too much flour, or• too much mixing or han-dling.

If they are coarse and haveuneven cell structure it is be-cause:• too much leavening,• too little mixing.

If they have a bitter taste youused too much leavening or thedough wasn’t properly mixed.

If they taste rancid, the short-ening was old or was of poorquality.

Basic Biscuits2 cups flour3 teaspoons baking powder1 teaspoon salt6 tablespoons shortening2/3 cup milk

Measure dry ingredients intoa bowl and stir thoroughly toblend. Cut shortening into flourmixture with a pastry blender.Make a well in the middle of thedry ingredients and add milk allat once. Stir with fork just untilmixture rounds up in a ball andno dry ingredients remain. Avoidoverhandling. Turn dough ontoa lightly floured surface knead-ing quickly and lightly 10-12times. Roll or pat out to 1/2 inchthickness. Cut biscuits andplace on ungreased bakingsheet one inch apart. Bake for10-12 minutes at 450 degrees Funtil golden.

Hugoton’s baseball teamheaded to Colby last Thurs-day, May 21, to compete inthe Regional tournament.HHS played Colby in the firstround, and were unable tobeat the home team.

Colby’s bats were hot inthe top of the first inning,knocking in six runners be-fore Hugoton had a chance toscore at all. During the sec-ond inning, Colby scored fourmore runs, and were ahead0-10 as the Eagles steppedup to the plate. HHS wasquick to answer with five hitsin the bottom of the second.Tucker Martin recorded thefirst point for Hugoton’s sideof the scoreboard, after sin-gling to the shortstop in hisfirst plate appearance. PadenCornelsen was next to crosshome off a single from ZackLeininger. Colby Korf followedhim across the plate, andLeininger wasn’t far behind.Salvador Valles tallied thelast Eagle point of the night

when he scored on a sacrificefrom Thomas Frederick. Un-fortunately, five runs weren’tenough to catch up to theColby team, and CHS scoredtwice more in the third, andtwice again in the fifth. Hugo-ton trailed by nine going intothe sixth. Neither team couldget over the plate for the restof the game, and Hugoton’sseason was over with a 5-14loss to Colby.

HHS only had two strike-outs for their 32 plate ap-pearances, while Colbyrecorded three. Thomas Fred-erick and Michael Baeza eachhad two hits. Zack Leiningerboasted two of the team’sfour RBIs, while Baeza andFrederick claimed the othertwo. Tucker Martin startedthe game at the mound andonly allowed two walks andsix hits. Dakota Moodiepitched six innings andrecorded three strikeouts andfive runs.

In Mrs. Heger’s fifth gradescience classes, the studentswere grouped to build arocket, paint it, decal it, andprepare it for launch. LastThursday, May 21, was thebig day (as well as the lastday of school). The fifthgraders traveled to CapeForewinds (otherwise knownas the golf course) to launchtheir rockets.

The best part of buildingrockets is pushing the buttonthat allows the rocket tolaunch, watching the rocketshoot high in the sky, hopingthe nose cone opens, and theparachute opens to slow thefall back to earth. Some of thestudents even enjoy the chal-lenge of catching the rocketas it comes back to earth.

American Implement inHugoton recently went tothree local organizations to

present monetary donationsfrom their Winter Service Pro-gram. Local producers bringtheir equipment into Ameri-can Implement in the winterfor full inspections to reducebreakdowns and identify anypossible mechanical prob-lems. This year’s inspectionprogram entailed a new andexciting element allowingcustomers of American Im-plement to choose one ofthree pre-selected organiza-tions to donate a portion oftheir repair bill directly to.Their choices for the Hugotonlocation were Hugoton FFAChapter, Hugoton 4-H orPheasant Heaven Charities.

Pheasant Heaven Charitieswas the happy recipient of$3,800.00 of the approxi-mately $60,000.00 donated

to a variety of local schoolsand organizations this yearthroughout the 14 locationsAmerican Implement serv-ices. PHCI will use thesemonies to continue their ef-forts in assisting those inneed due to catastrophicmedical events.

American Implement ap-preciates all their customerswho helped make this possi-ble and looks forward to con-tinuing to partner andstrengthen the local commu-nities.

American Implement’smotto is “Indebted to thePast. Committed to the Fu-ture.”

Pheasant Heaven CharitiesInc. motto is “Charitythrough the Power of Com-munity.”

With summer heat fast ap-proaching, Kansas AttorneyGeneral Derek Schmidt andthe State Child Death ReviewBoard reminded Kansans tosafeguard children fromdrowning and other waterhazards they may encounterduring outdoor activities.

The summer months are atime when children are fre-quently outdoors enjoyingwarmer temperatures andthe plentiful sunshine thatKansas summers provide.Certain precautionary meas-ures can be taken to ensure asafe and fun-filled summer:• Water conditions: Lakes,ponds and ditches often con-tain murky water and tangledbranches or other items thatpose a potential danger toswimmers. Research theseareas and become familiarwith possible dangers suchas large rocks and underwa-ter currents. Know waterdepth and underwater haz-ards before allowing childrento jump into any body ofwater. It is also advised tocheck local weather condi-tions prior to swimming orboating as thunderstormswith lightning or strongwinds could be fatal.• Unattended/unsupervisedswimming: Between 2005and 2012, the SCDRB re-viewed 77 drowning deaths.In 83 percent of those cases,the child victims were unsu-pervised at the time of the ac-cidents. A responsible adultshould always supervisewater play in swimmingpools, ponds or lakes and befree of distractions such asreading or using electronicdevices. In crowded swim-ming areas, an extra step ofassigning a “swim buddy”should be taken to minimizethe risk of drowning. In addi-tion, pools and hot tubsshould be secured with safetyequipment to avoid water-re-lated accidents.• Importance of swimminglessons: Children, includingteens, should take swimminglessons to ensure a minimumlevel of skill before engagingin outdoor water activities.The American Academy of Pe-diatrics water safety guide-lines issued in 2010 citeevidence suggesting childrenmay be less likely to drown ifthey have had safety andswimming instruction. Theuse of life jackets and otherportable flotation devices isalso recommended for chil-dren when riding in a boat.Small children and non-swimmers should also wearone at water’s edge such ason a river bank or a pier.

The State Child Death Re-view Board was created bythe Kansas Legislature in1992 and is administered by

the Office of the Kansas At-torney General. This multi-agency, multi-disciplinaryvolunteer board meetsmonthly to examine circum-stances surrounding thedeaths of Kansas children(birth to 17 years of age), andis charged with making policyrecommendations aimed atreducing the number of pre-ventable child deaths.

Average retail gasoline pricesin Kansas have risen 4.6 centsper gallon in the past week, av-eraging $2.51 per gallon Sun-day, according to GasBuddy'sdaily survey of 1,329 gas outletsin Kansas. This compares with

the national average that has in-creased 3.5 cents per gallon inthe last week to $2.75 per gal-lon, according to gasoline priceWeb site GasBuddy.com.

Including the change in gasprices in Kansas during the pastweek, prices Sunday were 92.0cents per gallon lower than thesame day one year ago and are17.8 cents per gallon higherthan a month ago. The nationalaverage has increased 21.0cents per gallon during the lastmonth and stands 91.4 centsper gallon lower than this dayone year ago.

"As the summer driving sea-son has begun, gasoline priceshave risen slightly as demandrises and parts of the countryhave seen supply and refinerydisruptions," said Patrick De-Haan, GasBuddy senior petro-leum analyst. "There's light atthe end of the tunnel, however.We're expecting over the nexttwo weeks trends will shift andrelief will start flowing to pumpsas issues fade into the back-ground. Overall, this summerwill be the cheapest at the pumpacross much of the U.S. since2009 with prices likely remain-ing well below year ago levels. Iforecast that the national aver-age will not breach $3 per gallonthis summer," DeHaan said.

olence. Teens involved in un-healthy, abusive, or violentrelationships are at risk forshort-term and long-term ef-fects including poor schoolperformance, substanceabuse, depression and anxi-ety, and suicide attempts.

The “Love Doesn’t Hurt”mini-grant was completed bystudents Kendra Batterton,Aubrianna Luck, andMarissa Sanchez. FACS-FCCLA teacher-advisers,Cara Rogers and Tangee Cay-ton, helped students hold aTeen Dating Violence Aware-ness Week during the week ofMarch 2015. Throughout theweek, students decorated themiddle and high school cam-puses in purple, distributedfree purple “Silence Hides Vi-olence” wristbands to all stu-dents and staff, and studentsreceived daily announce-ments and posters regardingdomestic violence. In addi-tion, there was a campus visitfrom the Liberal Area RapeCrisis & Domestic ViolenceServices, Inc. (LARCDVS). In

April, an educator returnedto both campuses to present“SafeDates” curriculum tothe FACS classes.

Jana's Campaign is a na-tional education and genderviolence prevention organiza-tion located in Hays. Jana'sCampaign was created inhonor of Jana Mackey wholost her life to domestic vio-lence in 2008. Mackey, aHays High School graduate,was a law student at the Uni-versity of Kansas and hadspent years herself volunteer-ing and helping victims ofsexual assault and domesticviolence in Lawrence. Jana’sCampaign also conducts out-reach via social media, work-shops and speakingengagements, the arts, com-munity service projects, andengaging men and boys.
