Marj Bartlett Kramer
Marj is a classically trained pianist with a degree from Colorado Women's College. Her first piano was in her Grandma Bartlett's home north of Bird City. At 14 she had her own radio show, "Sunday Sound of Music" on KXXX. While living in Cheyenne County, Marj helped form the Northwest Kansas Piano Teachers' League. She and her husband, Jim, have four daughters who all studied piano.

Jennifer Kramer Lee
Jennifer feels she frustrated her mother and her piano teachers by her improvisation of both popular songs and hymns. "It was the way my hart worked," Jennifer said. Like her mother, she attended Colorado Women's College, majoring in music. Although Jennifer is a busy real estate agent, she still finds time to write, play, and sing her own music. She is now sharing her musical gifts in person and on CD.

Amendments to the Kansas amusement ride act which could affect carnival rides at the fair.
House Bill 2389 is scheduled to be heard, I think on Thursday and Friday in Topeka. This may or may not affect the carnival rides at the fair, but looks like it may. I would suggest people contact Representative Adam Smith and maybe e-mail any concerns, so this doesn't have a negative affect on the community.

Truly high speed internet in St Francis
We in St Francis have an opportunity to have truly high speed internet. To clarify, by high speed I mean speeds that most cities have not achieved, and are currently fighting to get. A physical, hard line, fiber-optic connection to every customer, business and residential. The max bandwidth being offered to any individual customer is 1 gigabyte per second (1000 mb/s), which is honestly more than many of our systems can handle.

WHAT ARE COVER CROPS?
Written by Fred Wedel, Retired NRCS District Conservationist

What are cover crops? Cover crops are grown for the protection and enrichment of the soil. In Agriculture, cover crops are used to cover and protect the soil rather than to be harvested.

Cover crops are used to manage cropland and reduce soil erosion, improve soil fertility, improve soil quality, improve water storage, reduce pressure from weeds, pests and diseases, and improve biodiversity and wildlife in an agroecosystem.

Proper fence is needed for grazing livestock in a rotational grazing system. As mentioned before, a rest-rotation grazing system is essential for properly managing grazing systems in the western Kansas area of short grass and mid-grass prairie.

Many perimeter fences are 3 or 4 strands of barbed wire. Interior cross-fences are usually a single smooth wire. The interior fe
