621	NEWSPAPER ARTICLE TOUGH OLD TOM LEADS MERRY CHASE Wichitan Mike Bratcher is serious about hunting. He does all the home work like establishing real friendships with landowners and checking out the intended hunting area to read wildlife signs long before he goes afield. But that didn’t make bagging of his fist wild Kansas turkey a cinch. He knew the turkeys were on land he visited on Commanche County. Yet, it took all day on the opening of the season last Saturday to get his bird. “I probably spend as much time scouting good hunting sites as I spend hunting,” Bratcher said. He is a long-time hunter safety instructor in Sedgwick County and has worked with landowners who also promote hunter safety instruction. He is a camp-out fisherman who always offers some of his harvest to the farmers and ranchers who are his hosts. “They seldom accept,” he said. “But offering shows good intentions. I try to help in any other way I can. First impressions are very important, so I introduce myself, shake hands, and sometime during the conversation I mention my interest and experience in youth safety clinics which have courteous behavior as part of the curriculum.” Bratcher said only once has he been refused land entry, and he understands that refusal. It came while he was seeking a site for his first turkey hunt. “The man had cattle all over the place,” he said. “He asked me politely not to hunt there.” The Wichitan gained permission at ranchland new to him, land recommended by a farmer who had given him quail-hunt privileges last fall. Bratcher knew an old gobbler was with a small flock there. Old, is right! The bird Bratcher bagged had a beard of near 11 inches and spurs that measured more than an inch. Gobblers that old aren’t much use to the expansion of the flock. They are known as “surplus” stock. But that old bird led Bratcher on merry chase. Bratcher went afield with Wichitan Mike States, who did not get his gobbler on opening weekend. The turkey harvest is 63 to date in a season that closes at sunset May 1. The two hid in a draw surrounded by sagebrush well before sun-up. They thought the turkeys would come from the roost to feed. It didn’t turn out that way. Bratcher had tried to find a turkey call without success. So the pair just waited for luck. Only one turkey came within 60 yards of the “blind,” too far for an effective shot. The Wichitans watched the birds’ feeding habits for a time and then moved to a new sagebrush blind. “The birds walked right by us - we both had decent shots,” said Bratcher. But States didn’t take a shot. He couldn’t distinguish in heavy cover if the targets were gobblers.. Bratcher, 300 yards away from his companion, blasted away. “Would you believe I missed at 25 yards?” Bratcher asked. The two followed the birds, but the turkeys were easily spooked by this time. The hunters ate lunch at a tent site along a creek. They cooked during the campout over an open fire in an iron skillet. By mid-afternoon, they were back to turkey stalking. Bratcher moved into the creek bed to steal closer to the scattered flock. He lay behind a cottonwood log on the stream bank for more than an hour, watching to old gobbler. Four hens pecked at grass seeds and insects nearby and one hen walked on Bratcher’s hand while inspecting the log. “I didn’t even breath,” said the hunter. “I tried not to move my eyes as that hen looked me over.” He finally got his shot at he elderly gobbler at 25-yard range. The tom turkey weighed 24 pounds on hen house scales. Roasting that turkey may take a long time. But Bratcher has great confidence in his wife’s grandmother, Mrs. Bernice Oaks, from Lakeview, Iowa, who will get the cooking job. The bird will be eaten at a family reunion. Mrs. Oaks married a widely-known conservationist-sportsman in the Lakeview area and has had a lifetime of cooking game, Bratcher explained.

624	NEWSPAPER ARTICLE --- from the West Central Illinois Journal-Courier, 15 Sep 2023, Dave Dawson, Assistant Editor Richard Krier died doing what he loved to do, which was to race his boat on a summer weekend. Krier, 76, of Indianola, Iowa, died at 2:03 a.m. Wednesday at Springfield Memorial Hospital from injuries he suffered during a boat-racing crash on Lake Jacksonville, according to Sangamon County Coroner Jim Allmon. "I like it," Krier told the Indianola, Iowa, Independent Advocate in 2020. "I still can, which is kind of surprising. I have fun out there. We're not very cutthroat. I mean we just want to go out and beat somebody on the race course." The circumstances of the accident that caused Krier's death are largely unknown because there was no report of the accident and it was discovered only after the Sangamon County Coroner's Office began looking into the cause of Krier’s death, the Journal-Courier has found. Krier was taken to the hospital by ambulance Sept. 8 after the boat he was operating crashed during a race on Lake Jacksonville. Krier died from multiple blunt-force injuries sustained in that crash, Allmon said. Krier was a veteran on the racing circuit, starting his career when he was 13, according to the Independent Advocate. His dad, Kenneth, raced and built boats and Krier and his brother, Mike, eventually joined him. Krier was a PRO outboard competitor and a six-time national champion in the sport. PRO outboard is a form of boat racing that puts few limits on engine or hull design. The Jacksonville event featured races through both the National Boat Racing Association and US Title Series Racing. The fact there was a death caused by injuries that occurred during the races only started to surface Thursday. "There was an accident at Lake Jacksonville during the boat races. We have no idea how it happened. We found out that a person was transported from Lake Jacksonville to a Sangamon County hospital," Jacksonville Police Lt. Sean Walker said. "No report was made to any police agency. The Department of Natural Resources did not know anything about it either." Jacksonville Police Department has jurisdiction over the lake, but Walker initially said the Department of Natural Resources would be leading the investigation. However, Jayette Bolinski, director of communications for the Department of Natural Resources, said the conservation police will not be involved in the investigation. "It falls under Jacksonville's jurisdiction," Bolinski said. "One of our officers is going to make a call to them to clarify." Regardless of which agency leads the investigation, they will be starting from scratch. "There was apparently no official notification of an accident given to any law enforcement authorities," Walker said. Walker was at the boat races and was unaware that any kind of accident had occurred, he said. Normally, in a situation like that, the lake would have been shut down while an investigation was conducted, he said. Krier raced in a runabout, the hull of which has a flat bottom. "They turn well, ride rough and, as any experienced Runabout rider will tell you, require the most skills to drive," according to the United States Title Series Racing website. Krier ran in both the 250cc and the 350cc classes, the Independent Advocate said. "Runabouts don't have seats — the driver kneels and has to lean hard into the turns while bouncing on the water at speeds up to 100 mph," continued the title series description. "With one hand on the throttle and the other on the steering wheel, these sharp-turning boats require quick reflexes and a love for adrenaline." Krier worked with his son, Brian, at Wausau Homes Indianola in the off-season. He has built boats and did much of his own repair work, the Independent Advocate reported. In a post on the U.S. Title Series Racing website, Krier's sons, Brian and J.R., wrote: "Thank you for the thoughts and prayers during this challenging time. It is with great sorrow to inform you that our beloved father Rich has passed to the next life. We are incredibly grateful he was able to live a full life and enjoy his passion for boat racing until his last days. The sons of X-51."	Krier, Richard Kenneth (I252)

They also drove the company trucks in the funeral procession to the National Cemetery on the Rock Island Arsenal Island.
