Schaake family named 1985 Kansas 4-H Family of the Year
Duane and Dorothy Schaake of Lawrence were honored at Rock Springs Ranch near Junction City as the seventh Kansas 4-H Family of the Year. Their children Jill and Mark contribute to a long 4-H record, including Jill’s state safety win and Mark’s 4-H Santa Fe Scholarship. The couple led the Greenwood Meadowlarks 4-H Club for 18 years and are active alumni award recipients. They accepted a commemorative clock, saying working with youth is the best reward and that 4-H remains their way of life.

Would-be parents face rising costs of raising children
A shift from viewing childrearing as a future concern to planning costs now. Parents see rising expenses from birth to 17 and especially college, with estimates from 1960 to 1981 showing costs climbing from about 34k to over 232k for a single child. Courts, insurers, and families weigh future needs as tuition nears triple from earlier decades.
