valuation will be less than five percent. One positive offsetting factor is Tom reported there are eight new wells in Stevens County, now totaling 114.

Heard at The Hermes It truly doesn’t seem like May should already be rolling around, but here it is, just like every other year! May’s a busy month, with school letting out, Rec activities, graduation, vacation planning . . . be sure to take a moment this week to smell the flowers and fresh cut grass, listen to the birds singing and feel the sun - and that delightful southwest Kansas wind - on your face. Everyone who visited our office this past week enjoyed the moisture we have received lately. We were debating how to cover the weather, and ultimately decided, “It’s tough to take a picture of rain!”

Let us all be more thankful for what we have Dear Editor The reason for this letter is there are a whole lot of people out in this world that is a lot worse off than us. I know there are a lot of people that complain and it does not do any good to complain. We need to be thankful for what we have and not what we have not. Like people are in the rest home and they do not have their hands to use, they do not know where they
Charlie Bill Wagner are at, they are bed ridden and can not get up. So why do we complain about everything. We are in good hands we are in GOD’S hands. He will take care of us. He will never leave or forsake us that is a promise that He said and will keep, so why don't we just stop complaining and be thankful for what
we have. I heard someone say this morning that we didn't get the rain that we should of got. I say they were complaining about it. They were not thankful for what we have had that is what is wrong with people today they do not know how to be thankful so lets all be thankful for what we have and not think about what we do not have. Thanks, Charles

Knier receives Presidential Scholarship Krysta Knier will be among excellent company this May as she receives a Presidential Scholarship of $1,250 from Hutchinson Community College. In the spring of 1993, Hutchinson Community College proposed a bold plan. To attract the best and brightest students from all over the state, the College would offer tuition and book scholarships of $1,250 to all stuadmitted to the dents Presidential Scholarship program. To encourage the students further, the scholarships would be renewable. Reaction from prospective donors was enthusiastic, with individuals and businesses contributing $29,000 to start the Presidential Scholarship program. The goal was to award $60,000 every year. The scholarship program provides a unique opportunity for students, donors and faculty mentors to come together in a way never thought possible, furthering scholarship at the college in a variety of ways. Each Presidential Scholar is matched to a donor. The two are introduced shortly
after selection and, in many instances, meet often, getting to know each other on a personal level. The interaction allows the donors to learn first-hand how profound a difference they make in the lives of the scholars. Now more than 500 students can proudly call themselves Presidential Scholars. The founding scholars were in the top seven percent of students nationwide, with four ranking in the top two percent. The scholars who have followed the inaugural group continue to uphold the high standards of scholarship set by the program. Presidential Scholars, with guidance from mentors, are required to develop honors projects; in-depth studies of topics not normally encountered at the freshman level. Krysta Knier’s project was entitled “Leviticus Moral Laws in Modern Society.” She examined laws and decrees from Leviticus and created a survey for modern citizens. The overall goal of the project was to provide insight into the Biblical decrees of Leviticus and how those decrees impact the morality and ethics of people today. Krysta will graduate
May 12, 2012 with an Associate’s degree and will attend Fort Hays State University this fall. She is the daughter of Don and Tonya Knier of Hugoton.
University and CEO of the Education Innovation Laboratory; Urban Meyer, ESPN analyst and former head football coach for the University of Florida; Andy Stanley, best-selling leadership author and communicator; and Sheena Iyengar, Author of “The Art of Choosing” and worldrenowned expert of choice. Last year, 85,000 leaders from 17 countries attended Chick-fil-A Leadercast. In its twelfth year, this full day experiential conference is predicted to reach its largest audience to date. “It is one of the single most consolidated sources of leadership that I know of,” said Paul Urbanowki, senior manager at AT&T. “But it goes beyond that. I think this conference, although very focused on leadership, transcends the topic and really shows you how to lead in life.” This year's program will
focus on the power of choice. The diverse group of internationallyacclaimed authors, leadership experts and practitioners will share insights to help leaders empower and equip others at work, at home and in the community through his or her choices. “We're really good at getting messages aimed at very specific, targeted audiences. But we aren't always very good at reaching out across the culture,” said Malcolm Gladwell
best-selling author of “Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking” and “Outliers: The Story of Success.” “I think this is one of the few organizations that does that...that really appeals to me.” For more information about Chick-fil-A Leadercast, visit www.chick-filaleader cast.com.

THANK YOU Administrative Assistants Day was a huge success and lots of fun!
By Brandon Werth Social Security District Manager in Dodge City MAY THE BENEFITS BE WITH YOU May 4 is an unofficial holiday designated by fans as Star Wars Day. Why May 4 and not the more likely May 25 (the day the original Star Wars was released)? It all comes down to a simple but catchy phrase: “May the ‘fourth’ be with you.” When celebrating Star Wars day, it can be easy to picture the space warriors in their original state, the way they have been captured on film. But consider this: May is also Older Americans’ Month. That may be more fitting than you realize, since the heroes of Star Wars first burst into pop culture “a long time ago.” Most of the heroes and villains of Star Wars are now
The Chamber Board would like to thank everyone that came and supported the efforts proceeds go to Park Day fun!

Truly spring is here, not only are the flowers starting to bud, but the crow’s nest south of Hugoton has activity in it again. Roger Lynch has been watching this crow’s nest for several years which is perched high up on a windmill just off of Road 12 on the Gene Willoughby Ranch. Each year Mr. and Mrs. Black Crow come in and do some rearranging to their nest for their new babies that will be coming shortly. This year he noticed something new. In the bottom of the nest are some small birds that have taken up residence in the basement of the nest. This is truly an example of community living at its best. Photo courtesy of Roger Lynch.

Hugoton Lions Club gives each fourth grader a tree of their own The Hugoton Lions Club is helping the fourth graders and the environment in one project. They gave every fourth grader at the Hugoton Elementary School a 12 inch pine tree the afternoon of April 30, 2012. Stevens County Extension Agent Josh Morris explained how to plant the new trees. He emphasized these baby trees need a
lot of water. The Lions Club Fourth Grade Foresters Project had a major goal to send every fourth grader home with a tree of their own to plant and care for to celebrate Arbor Day. Each individually packaged 12” to 18” evergreen tree is recommended for growth in southwest Kansas. A bag tag is attached to each tree fea-
turing planting and care instructions. The Lions Club has a mission of community service, good citizenship and promoting the welfare of the community. The Fourth Grade Foresters Project is a great opportunity to visibly demonstrate their mission. Trees planted will promote the welfare of the community be-
cause they will beautify the locale as well as help meet basic air quality standards. In its first five years, the Fourth Grade Foresters USA and over 400 sponsors provided more that 300,000 trees to fourth graders in 39 states. The Lions Club serves the community by teaching children to be good stewards and good citizens. The Lion’s Club also supports employment of workers with disabilities. (Each tree is individually packaged for distribution by workers with disabilities.) Kansas Arbor Day was
April 27, 2012. In 1885 the National Education Association called for observation of Arbor Day in all the nation’s schools on the official Arbor Day of their own state. Now in the era of global warming and air pollution, tree planting is even more important than ever. Trees take carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the atmosphere to help reduce warming and help clean the air we breathe. Planting trees is a simple, inexpensive and easy way to address the problem.
This Hugoton fourth grader shows her excitement to get her very own tree to plant, thanks to the Hugoton Lions Club.

Federation, the National Farmers Union, FFA and 4-H – to promote safety among youth workers in agriculture. This is exactly what we have been asking for all along – those who know agriculture best should have been consulted from the start. “For generations, the contributions of young people have helped family farm and ranch operations survive and prosper. If this proposal had gone into effect, not only would the shrinking rural workforce have been further reduced, and our nation’s youth deprived of valuable career training opportunities, but a way of life would have begun to disappear. This is a tremendous victory for farmers and ranchers across the country.” Last year, DOL Secretary Hilda Solis proposed rules that would restrict family farm operations by prohibit-
ing youth under the age of 16 from participating in common livestock practices such as vaccinating and hoof trimming, and handling most animals more than six months old, which would severely limit participation in 4-H and FFA activities and restrict their youth farm safety classes; operating farm machinery over 20 PTO horsepower; completing tasks at elevations over six feet high; and working at stockyards and grain and feed facilities. The language of the proposed rule is so specific it would even ban youth from operating a battery powered screwdriver or a pressurized garden hose. In December of last year, Moran and 29 of his Senate colleagues sent a letter to Secretary Solis requesting that the proposed rule be withdrawn. In March of this year,
Moran and U.S. Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) introduced legislation, the Preserving America’s Family Farm Act, to prevent the Department of Labor (DOL) from enacting its controversial proposed restrictions on youth working on family farms.

Remembering
125 years of the Hermes April 19, 1912 (Letter from the Former Editor) In retiring from the ownership and management of the Hermes we desire to thank the patrons and friends who helped us in making it what it was and forbore so cheerfully our many weaknesses. It is with deep regrets we lay down this work for one we hope will prove equally fruitful of results for self and of good for Hugoton, Stevens County and Southwestern Kansas. We have no intention of severing our identity with the interests that emanate from this community. Again, we thank you for your kind forbearance. E.M. Anderson (Letter From the New Editor) We are back again after wandering around for a period of two and one half years. We have decided that Stevens County is the best place to live. This issue of the Hermes is our first and in the hurry and confusion of change of editor may not be up to the usual standard, but as soon as we get properly adjusted to our surroundings, we will not only strive to keep the paper up to its present high standard but will endavor to give you a better and newsier paper all the time. We have come to make our permanent home among you and trust that the friendship and cordial business relations of our former stay in Stevens County may be resumed and continued. F.A. McCoy
Friday, April 4, 1913 Big Barbecue Hugoton and Stevens County is to pull off their big railroad barbecue on May 7. This was definitely decided upon at a mass meeting held last Monday night. A former mass meeting had set that date provisionally and had selected an executive committee composed of J.A. Kelley, chairman J.B. Porter, J.E. Mulligan, C.B. Combs, R.L. Smith and F.A. McCoy. This committee after investigating the probable cost and our resources appointed appropriate committees. The executive committee was instructed to proceed along according to the plans they had made. The plans include a real barbecue with plenty to eat for everybody. An experienced man will be placed in charge of the meat roasting and everything will be well served. There will be racing, a ball game, numerous amusements on the grounds and a big platform dance at night. One of the big features of the day will be music by the big cowboy band from Dodge City. Speakers of note will help entertain the crowd and the day will be chuck full of good things from morning until late at night. The Santa Fe will bring a big excursion train from Dodge City. The crowd for that day will be a record breaker; the lowest estimate being placed at 4,000
people. This barbecue will be the one big event in the Southwest this year and you cannot afford to miss it. Incidentally it is up to all the people of Stevens County to put their shoulder to the wheel and help make this the best of Stevens County's long list of good times. Friday, April 18, 1913 MOSCOW The writer desires to correct the mistake the school boy made in the issue of the Hermes of April 4 in regard to the description of Moscow. The description is as follows. Depot, stock yards, water plant, section house, two elevators, two implement houses one hardware, one blacksmith shop, two dry goods and grocery stores, feed stable, lumber yard, two coal yard, one restaurant and two oil merchants and two large dwelling houses under construction and will soon be completed. School Notes The measles have made quite an inroad into our school. The attendance is only fifty or sixty percent. Mrs. Combs has been so ill the last two weeks that she has not been able to attend to her school duties. However she hopes to be able to get back to work by next Monday. Mr. Coffman and Miss Tipton have had charge of her room during her absence.

“Notes From Nancy”
Senate President Steve Morris of Hugoton, welcomed Hugoton students Gavin Heger and Samuel Fabela to serve as pages for the day in the Kansas Senate. Gavin is the son of Chris and Stephanie Heger of Hugoton, and the grandson of Gary and Theresa Heger and Steve and Barb Morris of Hugoton. Samuel is the son of Sammy and Lisa Fabela of Hugoton and the grandson of Jorge and Patricia Fabela and Anselmo and Aurora Juarez of Hugoton. Senate President Morris said, “It was a great pleasure to have these young men with me today. They were attentive, respectful and conscientious in their duties. It is my hope this visit to the state
and I thought the bigger ones were better to cut, but later decided the smaller stalks were more tender. Asparagus plants are either male or female. The female produces seeds, which not only causes the reduced size of the stalks, but also crowds the bed with seedlings. Since the males do not expend energy making seeds, their stalks are larger and more desirable. New cultivars have been bred to produce only male plants for more cost-efficient crops. Whether you prefer the thick or thin spears, be certain they are fresh before buying them. The sugar in the plant quickly converts to starch after harvesting, causing a loss in flavor and the development of a woody texture. Select firm, straight, smooth, rich and green stalks with tightly closed tips. Ridges in the stems and a dull green color are an indication of old age. The stalks should not be limp, or dry at the cut end. Choose stalks of uniform thickness for more control in the cooking process. Do not wash asparagus before storing, and never
soak it. Trim the ends of fresh asparagus spears and stand them upright in a jar with about an inch of water in the bottom. Cover with a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator for up to two days. It is best when cooked the same day it is purchased, but if it’s tightly wrapped in a plastic bag it will keep for three to four days in the refrigerator. Asparagus needs to cook quickly to a tender-crisp texture. To gauge doneness, poke a stalk with a knife, and you should feel a little resistance. One cooking method is to stand the asparagus in three inches of boiling water, cover and cook for eight minutes or until the tips are tender. This method cooks the thicker bottom stalk while steaming the more tender tips. Steaming should be reserved for only the youngest, most tender asparagus. It is important not to overcook it. Remember, asparagus will continue to cook a bit even after it’s removed from the boiling water. Young asparagus readily adapts to other quick-cooking methods, such as stir-fry and sauté. Asparagus contains a good amount of Vitamin A and is a fair source of iron and vitamins B and C. Enjoy some fresh asparagus today while it is in the peak of the season!

Asparagus Asparagus - according to what I hear from people - you either love it or hate it. If you are reading this column you are probably on the ‘“love it” side, or you would have seen the title and stopped right there. May is National Asparagus Month, which is in the prime growing season of late February through June for this lovely vegetable. It comes from the lily family and typically is an apple-green colored stalk with a deep purple-tinged tip. The stalks shoot up from the crown of the plant and grow into fern-like leaves if allowed to develop. However, the edible stalks are harvested, strictly by hand, before the actual fern leaves develop. It takes three years to mature from the sowing of the seed to the harvest of the first crop of stalks. Asparagus is one of the few vegetables that is grown as a perennial, since it lives eight to ten years. The size determines the age of the plant. The more mature the plant is, the thicker the asparagus stalks will be. As a child I loved going to the asparagus patch to cut the fresh stalks,

Perhaps one will even seek elected office someday.” Pages assist elected officials and staff by running errands, putting together mailings, and other duties necessary to operating for a day in the Kansas Legislature. They also have the opportunity to sit in on working committees, take a tour of the capitol and have their photo taken with the Governor if available. These students also had their photo taken with Senate President Steve Morris in the Kansas Senate chamber.

Three more sixth grade students at Hugoton Elementary School have met the top goal of 300 Accelerated Reader points. The girls are Felecia McPhillips, daughter of Felix and Marsha McPhillips, Mary Reimer, daughter of Johan and Sara Reimer, and Minnie Wall, daughter of Cornelius and Justina Wiebe. All three girls love to read and have different tastes in books. Minnie's favorite book was “Scat,” an ecological mystery, while Mary prefers historical fiction and Felecia is a fan of The Hunger Games.” Felecia also likes to travel and can't wait for seventh grade because of the new books she'll get to read. Mary enjoys playing the piano and working on her computer. Scrapbooking is a hobby of Minnie's that she learned from her sister-in-law. All of the girls think the library at Hugoton Elementary School is full of good books to read. Congratulations girls!

Two first graders blaze through 1000 books Two students in Mrs. Omo’s first grade class have taken the motto “The more we read, the better we get” to heart and have each read 1,000 books. Students in first grade are asked to record books they read at home, and the reading must be verified by their parents. Madison Crawford, daughter of Chris and Laurie Crawford, set 1,000 books as her goal at the beginning of the year. “I really like reading the Amber Brown books,” said Madison, “but my mom is
probably tired of me reading to her.” Catie Gooch, daughter of Phil and Michelle Gooch, also set 1,000 books as her goal. “It took a long time to read a 1,000 books,” said Catie. Catie not only read to her
parents but also the residents of Pioneer Manor. She also received a purple ribbon at 4-H Club Days for her reading. Good job, ladies! Hugoton Elementary School is proud of you!

Fertilize Irrigated CoolSeason Lawns in May May is an excellent time to fertilize cool-season lawns such as tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass if they will be irrigated throughout the summer. Non-irrigated lawns often go through a period of summer dormancy because of drought and do not need this fertilization. May is a good time to fertilize because the springtime flush of growth characteristic of these grasses has tapered off, so the fertilizer you apply will be less likely to cause excessive shoot growth than if you had fertilized in April. Slow-release nitrogen sources are ideal. These nitrogen sources promote controlled growth, which is desirable as the stressful summer weather approaches. Relatively few fertilizers available to the homeowner supply ALL of the nitrogen in the slowly available form. But one such product that is widely available is Milorganite. Other such products available in the retail market include cottonseed meal, alfalfa-based fertilizers, and any other products derived from plants or animals. (Bloodmeal is an exception, and contrary to popular belief, the nitrogen it supplies is quickly available.) These products are all examples of natural organic fertilizers. They typically contain less than ten percent nitrogen by weight, so compared to most synthetic fertilizers, more product must be applied to get the same amount of nitrogen. Translation: they are more expensive! Apply enough to give the lawn one pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. For ex-
ample, if the fertilizer is six percent nitrogen by weight, you will need to apply almost 17 pounds of fertilizer product per 1,000 square feet. Summer lawn fertilizers that contain at least a portion of the nitrogen as slow-release are fine to use as well. Be sure to follow label directions. If cost is prohibitive, you can use the less expensive quickrelease (i.e., soluble) sources, but split the application into

two doses as follows: apply enough to give the lawn one half pound nitrogen per 1,000 square feet in May and again in early June. By Ward Upham, Horticultural Rapid Response Unit Coordinator.

New law geared to conserve and extend life of Ogallala Aquifer Surrounded by Colby Community College students, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback held a ceremonial signing of a bill April 17 designed to conserve the state's water supply and extend the life of the Ogallala Aquifer. Senate Bill 310 establishes a process through groundwater management districts (GMDs) that allows local communities of producers to collectively decide their future by initiating the implementation of conservation plans that meet their local goals. Governor Brownback encouraged GMDs to begin identifying places where “local enhanced management areas” (LEMAs) may be a good fit. “We must conserve our water so we can extend the useful life of the Ogallala Aquifer,” Brownback said. “This tool allows Kansans to join together and offer up ideas that work on the local level. It allows them to work together on behalf of their children and grandchildren to provide solutions that will
Three-pole permit gives anglers an edge If you had the opportunity to pay just $6.50 a year to increase your odds of catching fish on rod and reel - possibly by 30 percent or more would you take it? Many anglers would, and the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) offers just that opportunity with the three-pole permit. The permit is especially attractive to those who fish from the bank for channel catfish and other species using live or prepared bait and a tight line or bobber - or both. Kansas fishing regulations restrict anglers to two rods with no more than two baited hooks (single or treble) or artificial lures per line. However, all anglers, regardless of

age, may use a third rod with the purchase of an annual $6.50 three-pole permit. Whether fishing a river, pond, or lake, the three-pole permit gives the angler the advantage of spreading out baits to more areas. Find the hot spot, and you may want to put two lines there, leaving the third in a promising site while waiting for the action to move on. Whatever the approach, having more bait in more areas is bound to increase the chances of bringing home a full stringer. This year, try KDWPT’s three-pole permit, available wherever licenses are sold, and increase your angling odds. Submitted by KDWPT.

save water for the next generation.” Kansas Water Office Director Tracy Streeter, Groundwater Management District Manager Wayne Four Bossert, Kansas Department of Agriculture Division of Water Resources Chief Engineer Dave Barfield as well as legislators and stakeholder groups joined the Governor for the bill signing. “The Local Enhanced Management Areas is an option that Kansans asked for and we already have a Groundwater Management District moving forward with a LEMA proposal,” Kansas Department of Agriculture Division of Water Resources Chief Engineer David Barfield said. Work to reform the state's water laws began a year ago when the Brownback administration started planning the Ogallala Aquifer Water Summit. Hundreds of Kansans concerned about the future of the state's water supply and the future of their children and grandchildren attended that summit in Colby. From there, the Ogallala Aquifer Advisory Committee reviewed short and long term water goals. Then the Kansas Water Authority developed the water reform legislative agenda presented to the Kansas Legislature for its consideration. “Agriculture is key to the economic vitality of Kansas, and water is essential to agriculture production,” Kansas Secretary of Agriculture Rodman said. “The Governor’s 2011 water legislation package was an important step towards creating water policy that benefits agriculture today and sustains the valuable water resources for future generations.” KWO Director Streeter said this law is a true example of how when Kansans work together, they can find solutions. “This legislation proves the stakeholder input process re-
ally does work,” Director Streeter said. “The Kansas Water Office will continue to work with the Kansas Water Authority and the Ogallala Aquifer Advisory Committee to identify and evaluate further policy considerations.” Governor Brownback has signed four other water conservation bills into law this session: • House Bill 2451 eliminates the state’s “use it or lose it” water policy in areas closed to new water right appropriations and gives landowners incentive to conserve water because they won’t feel that they must use their maximum amount of water when they don’t need to just so they don’t lose water rights. • Senate Bill 272 amends multi-year flex accounts to expand irrigators’ capabilities and options so they can manage their crop water over a 5year period without increasing long-term water use under their water right. • HB 2516 amends the state’s water banking program. The changes provide for more permanence in water banks and allow additional water banks to be developed where local producers find it to be a tool that will help them in conserving water and protecting the economy. A water bank allows the short term lease (up to ten years) of water rights at a price set by the seller and agreed to by the buyer. • HB 2517 extends the sunset to make the Water Transition Assistance Program (WTAP) by ten years to the year 2022 and makes other improvements to the program. The purpose of this voluntary, incentive-based water right retirement program is to provide a structured mechanism for the permanent dismissal of irrigation water rights and the reduction of consumptive groundwater use in focused, over-appropriated areas.

Mrs. Concannon’s third graders collect most money The final results of the Hugoton Elementary School Mini Relay For Life Friday, April 20 are in! The cancer survivors, care givers, relayers and students collected $9,870.80 - a new record! The collection surpasses the 2009 collection of $6,067.01. There were four different station rotations and the students did a great job of collecting for the American Cancer Society (ACS). Stations included a “walk/ run and dancing” track, luminaries/ paper table, guest speaker and treat area and an activity area. Ice pop treats for all, and “HOPE” rings for those who collected and turned in $10.00 or more were donated by McBride Construction. Sterling Gerrond, Hugoton Relayer, Lisa Nelson, Barbara Maerz and Terri Daniels set up the Relay areas for the day. Music and dance leader at the walk track was Heather Augustine. The luminaries table was led by Barbara Maerz, a cancer survivor. Special speakers were Shelly Wagner, a care giver, 2012 Hero of Hope, and observer for Sublette schools and Megan Urwin, a three-time cancer survivor and 2013 Hero of Hope for the ACS from Sublette, Lisa Nelson, cancer survivor, and the ACS representative for southwest Kansas area relays, and Tessa Whitham, Hugoton Relayer from Moscow. Rob Terrill helped while his classes were in the relay. Terri Daniels, cancer caregiver, Relayer and the HES PE/Health teacher, was the coordinator. Students collecting $100 or more receive a Stevens County Relay For Life t-shirt at the June 29 Stevens County Relay For Life. Forty t-shirts have been earned by collecting $100 or more. The highest amount collected by an individual was a fourth grader, Drake Knier, with the amount of $245.00. The Hugoton Pizza Hut has generously donated a pizza party to
the homeroom class that collected the most money. Mrs. Concannon’s third grade class took that prize. Their total collection was $1,351.25. The $9,870.80 came about from the following grade level collections: Third grade $3,808.72 66 of 90 students collected; fourth grade $2,339.25 - 45 of 70 students collected; fifth grade $2852.72 - 48 of 85 students collected; sixth grade $880.11 27 of 67 students collected for a total of third-sixth grades $9.870.80 - 185 of 312 students who collected.

By Rebecca Clancy, Director 714 Ballinger • Garden City 620-275-0291 www.rcdc4kids.org The first Sunday in May has long been recognized as the day to honor mothers and their commitment to children. Since 1996, the Friday before Mother’s Day May 11 this year - is known as Provider Appreciation Day. It is a special day to recognize child care providers, teachers, staff of school-age programs and centers, child care center directors, and all those responsible for children’s education and care. There are nearly 2.8 million child cares providers in the United States, with more than 11 million children under age five in their care. Locally, Child Care Aware of Southwest Kansas works with nearly 600 child care providers in 26 Southwest Kansas counties.

The addition of the Bloodhart sign to the Stevens County Gas and Historical Museum has brought back a lot of memories. Curator Gladys Renfro has memories of the four soda shop booths along the south wall of the drug store. Everybody is invited to come to the museum to see the many exhibits pertaining to the historic Bloodhart Drug Store. We invite you to visit us at the Stevens County Gas & Historical Museum, 905 S.

activities that foster learning. It is critical that children receive quality care during the first five years of life because research shows that approximately 90 percent of brain development occurs during those years. Just think, without child care, employees would not be able to report to work. Child care directly supports and promotes a productive work force. When parents know their children are in a safe, caring environment, they are able to concentrate on job duties. By publically and privately recognizing and applauding the dedication of child care professionals, we give them welldeserved thanks for a job well done. We also remind our communities of the importance of quality child care. Please join us in thanking the devoted child care providers and educators in Southwest Kansas for their hard work and commitment to this nation’s most precious investment. . .our children.
