Our cell phone wasn't
ringing as loudly as it could be
so we had our son look at it to
see what was wrong. He said
there was some dried stuff in
the cracks of it. Then I re-
member what happened to it.
A couple of weeks ago when I
did chores, I only got one egg
and I didn't want it rolling
around in the bucket so I put
it in my coat pocket. Then I
fed and watered the guineas up
by the shed and when I got to
the house, I had a wet pocket.
When I put my hand in my
pocket, I found that I put the
egg in the same pocket as the
cell phone. What a messl I
wiped the cell phone off, but I
guess not in all the cracks.
The phone is working OK now.

On October 8, 2002, four
new members from the FCCLA
chapter, attended the Kansas
Teens As Teachers program
held in Wamego. KTAT is a
unique smoking prevention
program, created by the Amer-
ican Nonsmoker's Rights
Foundation. The students that
attended were Michelle Con-
verse, Emily Burgen, Bethany
Dolezllek, and Peggy
Williams, all freshmen in
Mrs. Rose William's FACS
class.
During an all day Training
Workshop, the teens learned
how to deliver a "stay tobacco
free" message to the district's
younger students. In addition
to learning about the health
hazards of smoking and of
breathing secondhand smoke,
teens analyzed and discussed
cigarette ads, and debate a
proposed smoking control
ordinance during a mock city
council hearing. At the end of
the day, participants prepared
their own presentations to
give to younger students.
According to Williams, FC-
CLA Advisor, "the teens
learned about the tremendous
toll smoking takes on every-
one, recognize the tobacco In-
dustry's predatory advertising
strategies, and have the oppor-
tunity to help a new genera-
tion to grow up smoke-free."
The KTAT program is being
sponsored locally by the FC-
CLA in cooperation with
Kansas Department of Health
and Environment, Bureau of
Health Promotion, Kansas
Department of Education, Safe
and Drug Free Schools,
Kansas Department of Social
and Rehabilitation Servlces,

After the State Railroad
board ordered the Rock Island
to move the depot to the town
side of the tracks within 60
days of August 7, 1907, opti-
mism soared to a new high in
the town. However, the hope
had vanished when it was
stated in the ALma Enterprise
on October 4, =Wednesday was
the last day of grace for the
railroad to move the depot, but
she still stands in the same
old place." On October 14, it
was recounted that Governor
Edward Hoch honored the
town "with his presence for a
short time, but did not move
the depot. I am not sure if this
was a scheduled stop by the
governor or whether the train
he was riding had a scheduled
stop. At any rate, it was big
news for McFarland to have
the governor in town, planned
or not. Gov. Hoch, formerly a
newspaper editor from Marion,
took office on January 5, 1905
and served until January 1 I,
1909.
As was feared, the railroad
did appeal the railroad board
decision on moving the depot.
The City of McFarland,
through County Attorney Os-
car Schmitz, filed an answer to
the appeal in the U. S. Circuit
Court on November 4, 1907.
One could surmise that the
judgment on this case was
going to be a long time com-
ing. On March 6, 1908 the
"McFarland News" was trying
to be optimistic with the fol-
lowing information, "The Rock
Island has included $40,000
in its budget for repairs at
McFarland. Maybe the depot
and eating house are to be
moved." This is the last refer-
ence that I noted on the depot
moving in 1908. I will have to
admit I skimmed the microfilm
of the papers quickly and
could have missed some re-
ports. The next major re-
cording I found on the depot
battle was in the Alma Enter-
prise on August 27, 1909.
Almost two years earlier, the
railroad board had given the
order for the Rock Island to
move the building. The article
stated, "The State Board of
Railway Commissioners or-
dered the railroad to put in a
viaduct at Grand Ave. within
60 days. McFarland people are
opposed to the viaduct at this
point, which is at the lower
end of the yards near the wa-
ter tank. If a viaduct is the

best they can get, they want it
north on Main Street, north of
the eating-house. Their con-
tent.ion has always been to
have the depot and main track
on the north side of the yards.
There are 12 to 15 tracks to
cross from town with hun-
dreds of freight cars in the
yard all the time, constantly
switching back and forth.
This makes it dangerous even
in the daytime. At night it is
worse as there is the added
danger from hobos and
tramps." After many months of
taking the necessary steps for
petitions and appeals, the de-
pot issue had made a full cir-
cle and not gone anywhere. In
August of 1907 the railroad
was given 60 days to move the
depot. Two years later the
company was given 60 days to
build a viaduct. Will this saga
ever end?
