ACLU attempts to stop assemblies If you’ve been hiding under a hay bale, you might not be aware the American Civil Liberties Union, or ACLU, recently asked Hugoton’s superintendent Mark Crawford to cancel dinosaur assemblies hosted at Hugoton Schools last week. Several Kansas newspapers carried the story, as well as internet bloggers and television’s KAKE News. Our small town was definitely on the media’s radar this past week due to the unforeseen controversy surrounding the assemblies. Crawford refused to cancel the school assemblies because they were “completely and totally school appropriate.” He provided a full listing of the topics to be covered during the programs to The Hugoton Hermes. Topics discussed during school hours included fossils, dinosaur naming practices and theories regarding dinosaur extinction. Outside of school hours a program was presented entitled “The Truth About Dinosaurs.”

Matt Miles, a former Hugoton resident, youth pastor, missionary and speaker for the Foundation for the Advancement of Childhood Education, presented the program. Dr. G. Thomas Sharp was unable to come due to a family emergency. Mr. Miles encouraged the students in attendance to do well in school so they could possibly contribute to science one day, and to visit natural history museums. The USD 210 Board of Education required Mr. Miles sign a memorandum stating he would speak only about school-appropriate subjects during the school day. Mr. Crawford attended all three assemblies and stated the entire program was, “…in line… it would be inappropriate for our instructors to teach a creationist/ Biblical worldview.” In an email sent April 20, 2013 the ACLU demanded Crawford hand over records detailing the entire process, including emails, promotional

posters, documents about the use of school facilities and policies regarding school assemblies. Despite their claims to the contrary, the assemblies during the school day were not mandatory and students were allowed to “opt out” if they so desired. Crawford reported that, to his knowledge, no student in any building asked to be excused. He also stated, “The controversy and allegations of this topic were not issues for the students.” Students came away pleased with the assemblies, and the public was also excited about the evening programs. For classes to travel to a science museum, the students would have to conduct fundraisers for a lengthy field trip to Hays or Wichita. Overall, the community of Hugoton seemed very happy with the program, applauding Mark Crawford’s decision to stand firm regarding the assemblies after the event Thursday evening. Continued to page 5

May 2 is National Day of Prayer, “Pray for America”

Our nation will be observing its Sixty-second Annual National Day of Prayer Thursday, May 2, 2013. This year’s theme is “Pray for America”. The theme comes from Matthew 12:21 - “In His name the nations will put their hope.” This tradition predates

the founding of the United States with the proclamation for a day of prayer in 1775 when the Continental Congress designated a time for prayer while forming this new nation. There were at least two individual national days of prayer in United States’ history before the day was made

an official annual day of observance in 1952 when President Truman signed it into law. Then in 1988, then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan amended the law designating each year the first Thursday of May will be Continued to page 2

National Day of Prayer Continued from page 1 the National Day of Prayer. Most of the presidents between those dates, from John Adams in 1798 to Abraham Lincoln in 1863, on up to Reagan, called for a solemn day for the whole nation to contemplate the state of our nation with prayer, humiliation and, occasionally, even fasting. Traditionally, each year the present President of the United States has issued an official National Day of Prayer proclamation as well. Two stated intentions of the National Day of Prayer when it was brought into law were: 1) that it would be a day when all the great religions would come together and unite in prayer and 2) that it could one day bring renewed respect for God to all the people. Today the United States seems to have constant struggles with economical problems, questioning of constitutional rights, healthcare problems, safety for its citizens, and leadership problems. So today, let us all unite and pray for our great United States of America. Maybe some day we can become more united, safe and strong in a “Nation Under God” once again. We could even hold up our great nation in prayer every day of the year. If you would like, you may check for and join local organized events at The Hugoton Hermes’ Facebook page.

KDWPT releases new study finding Kansas tourism crucial Travel and tourism is a Kansas powerhouse industry, according to a 2011 study recently released by Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT). The study of the benefits of travel and tourism was conducted by IHS Consulting, a firm that measures the contribution of travel and tourism to an economy. For study purposes, visitors were defined as residents or non-residents who travel more than 50 miles, make non-commuting day trips and all overnight stays. The results include: • In 2011, Kansas received 32 million visitors generating tourism expenditures of $8 billion • The average visitor in Kansas spent $236. • In terms of jobs, tourism was the third largest industry in the state, directly and indirectly employing 148,228 Kansans.

• Only 217 visitors are required to create a new job in Kansas. • Tourism was responsible for 4.4% of the total Kansas gross state product; yet, tourism activity provided 14.4% of all state and local tax receipts. • Tourism provided $917 in tax relief to each Kansas household. • Kansas state and local tax receipts equaled $32 per visitor. Travel and tourism industry leaders in cities across Kansas will be promoting the Kansas Power of Travel message during National Travel and Tourism Week, May 412. A tradition first celebrated in 1984, this week will also launch the “Kansas Power of Travel Coalition.” This newly formed coalition was organized as a grassroots effort to showcase the power of travel in Kansas.

The Kansas travel community has celebrated National Tourism Week for many years. From staging state and local rallies to conducting social media outreach campaigns to recognizing all levels of industry workers, the underlying goal has been to communicate the economic significance of the travel industry at state and local levels. The new Kansas Power of Travel Coalition will help communicate the economic impact of travel and tourism statewide. Kansas Power of Travel will leverage the collective strength of everyone who benefits from travel in Kansas, thus continue to grow this industry. “By forming new partnerships and providing effective communication through Kansas Power of Travel, the industry will collectively demonstrate the positive im-

pact travel has on the state and communities,” said Becky Blake, KDWPT Tourism Director. “National Travel and Tourism Week is the perfect opportunity to formalize this concerted new effort in Kansas.” All businesses and employees who recognize the value of the travel and tourism industry are encouraged to support the Kansas Power of Travel Coalition. Coalition members will have access to the latest research and trends; marketing partnership opportunities; industry news; educational opportunities and special promotions and events. For more information about the impact of travel and tourism to Kansas and the “Kansas Power of Travel” Coalition visit: www.trav elks.com/industry/kspower-of-travel.

Kansas’s new driver’s license receives accolades for security features The Kansas Department of Revenue’s new, more secure driver’s license design and process garnered accolades month from the Coalition for a Secure Driver’s License. The Washington D.C. based national non-profit crime prevention educational public charity presented its Document Security Excellence Award to Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan and Director of Vehicles Donna Shelite at a ceremony with Governor Sam Brownback. “A fraudulent driver’s license or ID card can be the initial building block for more serious crimes,” Shelite said. “Our focus is to ensure that a person pictured on a Kansas driver’s license of ID card is who the card says they are, we are pleased to see our efforts recognized on a national level.” The state’s redesigned license was released in October

and includes several security features that make it one of the most secure and difficult to counterfeit driver’s licenses in the country. “The combination of a secure design and more secure application process helps make Kansas one of most difficult states in which to commit driver’s license or identification fraud,” said Governor Brownback. The enhancements include: • Ultra-violet image of the cardholder’s portrait and date of birth on the back of the card (viewable with UV light) • Multi-colored, highly detailed holograms • Highly detailed ultra-violet (UV) image of the state flower (viewable with UV light) • Two ghost images of the cardholder’s portrait in addition to the conventional photograph • Tactile printing that you can feel

The design did not increase costs for Kansans. Brian Zimmer, President of the Coalition for a Secure Driver’s License, said, “Based on this year’s annual assessment of anti-counterfeiting and antifraud protections, I’m pleased to make this award and to recognize the important security improvements achieved by the Kansas Department of Revenue.” “The Department of Revenue’s multi-year team effort has produced a highly secure credential that will benefit Kansas residents for years to come,” he continued. Since last year, Kansas driver licensing stations have also begun processing driver’s license applications at a single station. Because one examiner handles the process from start to finish, customers don’t have to spend time in multiple lines and there is less chance of fraud.

Consumer Corner

by Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt

Moving this summer? Check out your moving company before you take off Summer is a busy time for families to relocate. Often, this requires the assistance of a professional moving company. Most movers are legitimate and provide quality service, but a few unscrupulous operators seem to turn up at this time of the year trying to scam consumers. Whether you are a college student moving back home for the summer or a large family relocating across the country, you should expect and receive fair treatment from the company you hire to move your belongings. There are a few warning signs you should look for that could tip you off to a questionable moving company. • Payment demanded first. If the moving company demands full payment or a very large deposit before starting the job, you run the risk of not seeing your money – or the movers – again. • No Inspection. Beware of movers who give you an estimate without coming to your home to inspect the items being moved. Often a blind bid sounds too good to be true, and it usually is. • No local address, license or insurance. A company operating without local facilities or appropriate insurance is most likely not going to provide the level of service or

protection you want for your property. • No Federal Registration. Moving companies are required to obtain and display United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) numbers on all of their commercial vehicles. The company is also required to be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. • Rental trucks and no company name. If the moving service has no official company name or operates with generic rental trucks instead of fleet vehicles, the operators will be more difficult to track down if you have complaints after the move. Always demand a detailed written estimate before agreeing to any services or payment. At the time your mover provides a written estimate, the company is required by federal law to provide you with a copy of the U.S. Department of Transportation publication titled “Ready to Move?.” Before your mover finalizes the order for service and shipment of household goods, your mover must also furnish you with the following four documents: 1.“Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move” – a federally produced booklet. 2. A concise, easy-to-read, accurate summary of your mover’s arbitration program. 3. A notice of availability of

the applicable sections of your mover’s tariff for the estimate of charges, including an explanation that you may examine the tariff sections, or have copies sent to you upon request. 4. A concise, easy-to-read, accurate summary of your mover’s customer complaint and inquiry handling procedures, Including the mover’s main phone number and contact information. If you have additional questions about moving companies or possible scams, please contact the Kansas Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at 800432-2310 or www.ag.ks.gov.

ACLU Continued from page 1 Mr. Crawford reported to The Hermes, “It is sad how militant the ACLU is about this issue. A good scientist wants to weigh all data and after careful analysis, make an objective hypothesis. With this topic that option seems to be nullified. Even if our science teachers and/or our BOE wanted to put in a balanced approach to biology and origins, we would have to be very careful. The ACLU and a Darwinistic evolution worldview has dominated mainstream science and has

also won in the courts. It all started in the 1920s when the ACLU hired a Tennessee teacher to break the law and

TAXES Mid-Kansas Deaf Campers stopped by the Stevens County Oil and Gas Museum for a tour. They meet twice a year to camp out in

their RVs. This spring they chose Hugoton as their destination.

Landscape fabrics used to prevent weed growth Landscape fabrics are used to prevent weed growth while still allowing air, oxygen and water to flow to and from the soil. Landscape fabrics are a chemical-free way to prevent weed growth, endearing them to eco-friendly homeowners. Landscape fabrics, once laid, also are a far

less labor-intensive method to prevent weed growth, as they can be effective for several years, during which homeowners can expect to perform little or no maintenance. In addition, many homeowners prefer landscape fabrics because they can help

the soil effectively maintain moisture during dry periods, when gardens might otherwise be highly susceptible to drought. Once put down, landscape fabric can be covered with mulch to add aesthetic appeal. From Metro Editorial Services.

Eagles defeat Guymon in double header The Eagles played Guymon in a double header at the Eagles home field April 25. Hugoton narrowly defeated the Tigers in game one taking the win by one run. The Eagles dominated in game two taking the win by ten in the sixth inning. Game one saw Ross Davis go to the mound where he struck out eleven batters and allowed two hits. Despite nine tough situations during the game Davis continued to work the Guymon batters keeping the Tigers from scoring. Yates Sutton scored Hugoton’s first run in the bottom of the third inning when he hammered a fly ball to right field. Sutton rounded the bases on a home run fly ball,

giving the Eagles their first run of the game. Sutton doubled in the fifth inning, bringing in Tanner Barrells for the Eagles second run and the win 2-1. Jeison Rodriguez went to the mound in game two where he allowed nine hits but kept the Tigers to three runs throughout the game. Rodriguez struck out one Tiger and walked one in the six innings of play. The Eagles scored five runs in the six innings. Nine Eagles scored 13 runs in seven innings. It was Hugoton’s game with 31 batters going to the mound with 14 hits, 13 RBIs and another win for the Eagles. Final score was 13 to 3, Hugoton.

Tanner Barrells easily makes it to second base during the Eagles versus Guymon game. The Eagles defeated the visiting team in the double header.

to care for the trees they are about to receive from the Hugoton Lions Club.

Lions Club hands out trees to students Hugoton Lions Club celebrated Arbor Day this year by giving every fourth grade student in the Hugoton Elementary School their own tree to plant at home. The Lions Club members met over the weekend to plant each tree in a gallon container so the trees could survive. This is a community project as the Senior Center and the Middle School Cafeteria collected gallon cantainers for the trees to be planted. White’s Foodliner donated

The fourth graders are so excited to receive their trees they are in the process of naming each special tree.

Student Exchange Programs seek host families ASSE International Student Exchange Programs (ASSE), in cooperation with the local high school, is looking for local families to host boys and girls between the ages of 15 to 18 from a variety of countries; Norway, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Japan, to name a few. ASSE students come with an enthusiasm to practice their English and experience American culture -- food, sports, shopping and more. They also love to share their own culture with their host families. Host families welcome these students into their family, not as a guest, but as a family member, giv-

Reality television a f f ect s y o u n g girls’ perceptions Reality television has garnered its share of devoted viewers, many of whom happen to be young females. Statistics indicate the number of tween and teenage girls tuning into to see their favorite reality TV is on the rise. According to data from Ogilvy Public Relations, roughly 43 percent of tween or teenage girls are regular viewers of reality television, while 30 percent tend to watch sporadically. Some may wonder how reality TV affects the perceptions of young women. According to a survey conducted by the Girl Scout Research Institute, girls who routinely view reality TV are more focused on physical appearance, and more than one-third think that a girl's value is based on how she looks. The study also pointed out that girls' views on reality show behavior tends to pit girls against one another to make the show seem more exciting. The research is not all negative, however. Some survey respondents said reality TV made them feel more empowered and that they can "achieve anything in life." Others said the shows highlighted the plights of teenagers and young women, helping young women realize there are other young women in situations similar to their own. From Metro Editorial Services.

Homeowners use pesticides in their yards for a variety of reasons. Some utilize pesticides to make their lawns appear lush and healthy, while others must use pesticides to address issues like insect infestations. Applying pesticides is often frowned upon by environmentalists, but it's not just Mother Earth who can suffer from the use of pesticides. If your family pet loves to get outdoors and run around in the yard, you might be putting your fourlegged friend in danger if you're not careful when applying pesticides. Exposure to pesticides can make pets sick and, in some instances, prove fatal. But pet owners can reduce that risk significantly by adhering to the following tips. * Remove pets and their items from the lawn before applying pesticide. It's a nobrainer to move Fido inside before applying pesticide to your lawn. But homeowners should also scour the yard for toys, bedding and feeding dishes and move them inside or into the garage before applying a pesticide. Pet health could be at risk if such items are left in the yard and get even a drop or two of pesticide on them. Therefore, carefully scour the yard for your pet's belongings, raking high grass to find toys or bones when necessary, before applying pesticides. * Adhere to the instructions on the pesticide label. The label on the pesticide you choose should have specific instructions as to how much pesticide you should apply and how long you must wait before allowing anyone, including the family pet, to gain access to the treated area. If you let your pet back in the area too quickly,

PUBLIC NOTICE

(First published in the Hugoton Hermes, Thursday, May 2, 2013) 3t IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF STEVENS COUNTY, KANSAS In the Matter of the Estate of Linda Novak, a/k/a Linda J. Novak, deceased (Pursuant to Chapter 59 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated) Case No. 13-PR-12

Novak, deceased; that no administration of this estate is necessary; that the will be construed; and that the property described in that petition be assigned in accordance with the terms of the Will. You are required to file your written defenses thereto on or before May 24, 2013, at 9:30 A.M., of such day, in such court, in the City of Hugoton, in Stevens County, Kansas, at which time and place said cause will be heard. Should you fail therein, judgment and decree will be entered in due course upon the Petition.

NOTICE OF HEARING The State of Kansas, To All Persons Concerned: You are hereby notified that a Petition for Admission of Foreign Will to Probate and Record Without Administration has been filed in this court on April 23, 2013 by Jack A. Novak, an heir of Linda Novak, a/k/a Linda J.

Jack A. Novak, Petitioner Frank J. Schwartz, Attorney At law 2140 N. Kansas Box 948 Liberal, Kansas 67905-0948 Telephone: (620) 626-4545 Telecopier: (620) 626-4606 Attorney for Petitioner

the animal could be poisoned. * Be careful inside, too. Chemical products are not only used to treat lawns. If you need to use a chemical product like a bug bomb indoors, keep pets in mind before application. Remove bedding, feeding dishes and toys, and cover your fish tank to prevent liquid and vapors from getting into the tank and threatening the lives of your fish. * Keep areas treated for pests off limits to pets. If you have a pest problem in your home, be it insects or rodents, keep any areas you treat with chemical products off limits until the issue has been successfully resolved. Even if pets aren't in the room during or after application, they can still be poisoned if they eat poisoned insects or rodents. This is called secondary poisoning, and pet owners concerned about their pets but still in need of a way to eradicate pests should look for a product with a low risk for secondary poisoning. * Keep bait products out of the reach of your pets. Bait products are often effective because they're attractive to insects or rodents. Unfortunately, the same properties that attract pests might also attract your companion animal. When using bait products around the house, be sure to place them beyond the reach of your pets. If you're using bait products that you must bury outdoors, keep in mind that dogs and maybe even cats can often dig these products up rather easily. So once the bait is planted, make the area off limits to your pets. From Metro Editorial Services.

plastic sacks for students to carry the trees home. Thursday, April 25 Stevens County Extention Agent Josh Morris explained to each fourth grade class how to take care of their trees. The Lions Club then handed out a tree to each student. The students were so excited to receive a tree they each gave their tree a name. Hugoton Lions Club and members of the community are appreciated for all their efforts.

HHS Class of ‘63 brags: Eagles Rock! The Class of 1963 met at the Forewinds Golf Course meeting room last weekend to renew old friendships and make new memories. The fun began Friday evening with registration and a light supper. Many old memories were recalled. Saturday morning they

were served a continental breakfast. Then a tour of the Hugoton High School was offered by classmate Jan Kilbourne. After lunch, Dave Cutter served as Master of Ceremonies, providing a program which shared old memories. A class picture was taken

during this time. The alumni enjoyed a steak supper during Saturday evening. Then music from the 60s was provided and enjoyed by all. The Class of 1963 anticipates the next reunion with eagerness.

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS By Brandon Werth Social Security District Manager in Dodge City CELEBRATE CINCO DE MAYO WITH SPANISH ONLINE SERVICES Cinco de Mayo is May 5 — a time to celebrate Mexican heritage and pride. Why not join the celebration by visiting Social Security’s Spanish website, where you’ll find a number of useful services and a wealth of information in Spanish. Just visit www.segurosocial.gov Perhaps the most impressive thing you can accomplish on our website — in Spanish — is to apply for Social Security retirement benefits! You can apply quickly and easily on your personal computer. The online application takes as little as 15 minutes. Once you complete the online application and “sign” it with the click of a mouse, your application is complete. In most cases, there are no documents to submit or additional paperwork to fill out. Online is the easiest way to apply, and you can do it in English or Spanish. In addition to applying for Social Security retirement

benefits, you also can apply for Medicare in Spanish — in as little as ten minutes, from start to finish. If you are not ready to apply for benefits now, there are still a number of reasons to visit the Social Security website. You can find a lot of information and a number of online services that allow you to complete your Social Security business online, in English or Spanish. One of the most popular is our Retirement Estimator, which provides an instant, personalized estimate of your future Social Security benefits. Using the actual wages posted in your Social Security record, the Estimator will give you a good picture of what benefits you may receive. It protects your personal information by providing only retirement benefit estimates — it does not show the earnings information used to calculate the benefit estimate, nor does it reveal other identifying information. You can plug in different retirement scenarios and future wage amounts to get estimates

for different situations. Try it out at www.socialsecurity. gov/espanol/calculador. If you already are entitled to Medicare and are having trouble with the cost of prescription drugs, you might qualify for Extra Help from Social Security. The Extra Help can save you as much as $4,000 each year on your prescription drug costs. You can learn all about it and apply online at www.socialsecurity. gov/prescriptionhelp/index_s p.htm. On the right side of the website, under the Frequently Asked Questions, you’ll find a red envelope. Select it to receive email updates on the latest Social Security news and information. You can get your updates in English at www.so cialsecurity.gov or in Spanish at www.segurosocial.gov . Whether you prefer to do business online in Spanish or English, our website is the place for you. Visit www.se gurosocial.gov or www.so cialsecurity.gov during Cinco de Mayo, or anytime.

“Notes From Nancy” by Stevens County FACS Agent Nancy Honig

Taste The Rainbow Phyto-chemicals are plant chemicals that have protective, disease-preventing qualities and are very colorful. Fruits and vegetables with deep, vibrant colors are also the ones with extra nutrients. Some of these are the SUPERSTARS of the fruit and vegetable world. Try to aim each day for one to one and a half cups of “superstars”. RED Tomatoes and tomato sauces are superstars that are quick and easy to prepare. You can add them to pizzas, pasta, soups, stews, and even eat them alone. Studies have shown that nutrients in tomatoes, such as a phytochemical called lycopene, may help prevent cancer and heart disease. And for men, lycopene helps keep your prostate healthy. Berries are another superstar to try adding to your daily intake of fruits and vegetables. Strawberries, raspberries, cranberries - the list goes on and on. They require no preparation and are low in calories and packed with vitamins A, C, and B6. DEEP YELLOW AND ORANGE

Citrus fruits and juices, including oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines, have important nutritional benefits. An eight ounce glass of orange juice supplies more than 100 percent of the daily value of vitamin C, a valuable antioxidant. Carrots, squash and pumpkin are vegetables which contain carotenoids, as well as other antioxidents. Studies show that fruits and vegetables high in carotenoids may help prevent cancer and protect your vision. Apricots and cantaloupe are fruits loaded with phytochemicals, including carotenoids. Sweet potatoes are one of the healthiest vegetables you can eat - loaded with vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber. Sweet potatoes are as easy to make as a baked potato for a quick side dish. Instead of regular french fries, try some sweet potato fries. GREEN Spinach, kale, and dark leafy greens are loaded with phytochemicals, such as lutein, folate, vitamin C and vitamin A, which may help protect against cancer, fatty plaque in the arteries, blood

clots, and loss of eyesight. The darker the leaves, the more nutrients the vegetable has. Broccoli is packed with the anitoxidants vitamin C and folate, and is a good source of Vitamin A and fiber. Broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage are called cruciferous vegetables, which have been found to reduce cancer risk. BLUE AND VIOLET Blueberries and grapes contain antioxidants that may help suppress certain types of cancer. Grapes may also prevent harmful blood clots that trigger heart attacks and strokes. Did you know it takes 14 days of drying in the sun for a grape to become a raisin? Eggplant is a low calorie, fat free vegetable that tastes great sauteed, baked, grilled or fried. Phytochemicals in eggplant may neutralize cancer-causing free radicals thus preventing cancer. So as you head into the supermarket, look for and buy a rainbow of colors in the fruit and vegetable department. Your body will love you for it.

FBI releases most popular passwords SplashData.com recently published the following information regarding the most popular 2012 passwords on the Web. The ranking was based on password information from compromised accounts posted by hackers online. The article was also featured on blogs.avg.com. This year, the list is back!

If your password is included on that list, or is a close variation of these passwords, it's really important to take action now! Fixing your password problem can be very simple; Long is strong: The longer the password, the more difficult it will be for someone to try and crack it using brute force. So, instead of a single word, with a jumble of symbols, numbers and characters, try a string of words. Use a line of your favorite poem, song or just something

memorable. Feel free to add your lucky number at the end if you like. Something like: "withnodirectionhome1085". A famous Dylan lyric like this will always be easy to remember, and say you were born in October 1985. This means that you've suddenly got a 23 character password, which is much harder to crack than something much harder to remember such as "Phu!R7tRjX". Variety is the spice of life: The trouble with smaller, complex passwords is that they can be a real hassle to remember, often forcing you to use the same password for multiple accounts which is never a good idea. So another benefit of having long, easy to remember passwords is that you keep many passwords. Submitted by the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center.

Ag Wise Options and Management Strategies for Freeze-Damaged Wheat Producers whose wheat has suffered severe freeze damage have some difficult decisions to make. The most difficult is whether to keep the crop or destroy it. There’s no sure answer to that, unless it is obvious the crop is almost completely damaged and not coming back strongly enough to produce more than a minimal yield. In most cases, there is still plenty of time before the crop has to be destroyed in order to plant grain sorghum, soybeans or if plans are to plant wheat again this fall. But if the crop is obviously lost, it should be killed as soon as possible anyway, keeping crop insurance considerations in mind. As long as it is still at least partially alive, the freezedamaged crop will take up soil moisture and nutrients needed for the following crop. Producers who have forward contracted much of their anticipated production will probably want to wait longer if there is any doubt about whether the crop will recover and produce at least 20 bushels per acre. If producers do plan to give up on their wheat crop, there are several possible options for managing the field, depending on circumstances. There are some basic questions to ask before deciding on what to do. I. Basic questions to ask 1. Was a long-residual sulfonylurea herbicide used on the wheat crop? * YES. Options are limited. Producers must check the product labels for rotational restrictions. Depending on label restrictions, producers could: a. Cut the failed wheat for forage or graze it out, then recrop to: –STS soybeans –Grain sorghum (midJune or later) –Wheat this fall b. Spray with glyphosate,

or till it under, then recrop to STS soybeans. c. Spray with a mixture of glyphosate and atrazine, or till it under, then plant sorghum in mid-June or later. * NO. More options are available. a. Cut the failed wheat for forage or graze it out, then recrop to any row crop or plant back to wheat in the fall. c. Spray with glyphosate or till it under, then recrop to soybeans at any time. d. Spray with a mixture of glyphosate-and-atrazine or till it under, then plant corn or sorghum at any time. A couple of additional comments: The wheat should be tested for nitrate levels before cutting for forage or grazing. Tilling the wheat under could cause erosion problems, and may be restricted by farm program compliance requirements. 2. Is the crop insured? * YES. Two key points: –It’s very important that producers get their insurance company’s consent before cutting the crop for forage, grazing it out, or killing it. The insurance company must have a chance to appraise and release the acres before the crop is destroyed. If the company cannot make an accurate appraisal, or the producer disagrees with the appraisal at the time the acreage is to be destroyed, the company and producer can work out representative strip areas to be left intact for future appraisal purposes before cutting the crop for forage, grazing it, or otherwise destroying it. –For non-irrigated acreage, especially in western Kansas, this spring’s decisions on failed wheat may have insurance implications for the 2014 wheat crop. If the failed wheat crop had been planted on acreage qualifying as summerfallow in the fall of 2013, it would qualify as summerfallow acreage for 2014 ONLY IF:

a. the failed wheat was terminated by JUNE 1, AND b. any later growth controlled by mechanical or chemical means, AND c. you did not harvest (e.g. bale) the failed wheat. Note: The failed wheat can be grazed up until the time it must be terminated (June 1). The Risk Management Agency published a Frequently Asked Questions document on summerfallow and cover crops that also addressed the failed wheat provision of summerfallow practice. It can be found at: www.rma.usda.gov/help/faq /summerfallow.html * NO. Producers can take action as soon as the soil has dried out. II. Recropping considerations If producers want to recrop this spring, planting through the old wheat crop may pose a challenge. Probably the biggest issue to deal with is the residual effect of whatever herbicide was applied on the wheat. Sulfonylurea herbicides are persistent and have significant recropping guidelines (see article No. 2 above). Planting should be done after wheat kill has been confirmed, particularly if grain sorghum is being planted. Planters equipped for no-till (appropriate residue managers, furrow closers, and starter fertilizer applicators) should have no difficulty effectively placing seed through wheat residue and establishing good stands. The amount of residue moved out of the row ahead of the furrow opener can vary considerably depending on planter capability and grower preference. There are advantages to leaving as much residue as possible in the furrow area without hairpinning residue in the seed zone. Seed needs to be firmed in the bottom of the furrow. Spoked closing wheels positioned at the appropriate angle are helpful to avoid

Knapp, 27 weather stations set records Tuesday and 13 tied previous records. Many areas across the state didn't get above freezing for the day, either. "For the month so far, we have set 68 new record lows for the day - just for April," said Knapp. "We haven't fin-

ished the month, but the divisional averages are running it as the coldest April on record for all the western divisions." Temperatures were expected to dip again this morning, possibly breaking more records, said Caruso. The record low for Hutchinson is 29, which was

compacted furrow side walls, achieve good seed coverage, and reduce loss of moisture needed for uniform plant emergence. This is especially true in situations where there is abundant crop residue and soil is moist at seed depth. For sorghum, the standard practice of placing starter fertilizer, such as 30-30-0, near the row at planting may be important, depending on soil fertility level and planting date. A follow-up band application of the remaining N requirement can be made based on anticipated soil residual N and crop potential. Volunteer wheat control should be much less of an issue because of the wheat crop will be terminated before grain has been produced. III. Insurance considerations Producers who wish to destroy the wheat crop and go to a second crop have the following options after they talk to their insurance companies: * Plant, but not insure, a second crop. a. The insured will collect 100% of the indemnity for the first crop after the loss adjuster confirms the loss. b. Written notice must be provided that the insured elects not to insure the acreage of a second crop * Plant and insure a second crop a. The insured will collect 35% of the wheat indemnity b. The insured will pay 35% of the wheat premium c. If there is no loss on the second insured crop, the insured can request the remaining 65% of the wheat indemnity d. If there is a loss on the second crop, the insured may –i. Waive the indemnity on the second crop and collect the remaining indemnity on wheat (also pay remaining premium) –ii. Collect the loss on the second crop and keep the 35% wheat indemnity There are a couple of ex-

Month’s had record-brrrreaking lows By Amy Bickel, The Hutchinson News It's on track to be one of the coldest Aprils on record in south-central and southwest Kansas, with many areas across the region setting record-low temperatures Wednesday morning. "It was a record low air mass with some light snow with it," said Jim Caruso, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Wichita. Some were records set 80 years ago. At Richfield in Morton County, the mercury dipped to 19 degrees, breaking a record of 29 set in 1933, the NWS reported. In Healy, the temperature hit 18 degrees, far surpassing the low of 27 set in 1968. In Hutchinson, the previous record April 24, recorded by The News in 1913, was 28 degrees. Caruso said the Hutchinson station hit 25 degrees Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, said Kansas State Climatologist Mary

ceptions to this rule. First, none of this applies if the wheat has reached the headed stage at the time it is destroyed and planted to a second nonirrigated crop. In this case the second crop could not be insured, so the producer would need to keep any production on that crop separate from his or her other acres of the crop. Second, these rules do not apply in situations where doublecropping is an insurable practice. In several counties in southeast Kansas insurance is available for

The prolonged drought has reduced the flow of many streams and rivers in Kansas, and the Arkansas River is one of the most notable victims. In many places in central and western Kansas, the river is dry or has minimal flows or shallow pools. As a result, there has been increased vehicle and other activity along the river, leading to confusion and disputes about landowner rights and legal activity on the river. Local law enforcement agencies and the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism plan to patrol the more heavily-used portions of the river, using all-terrain vehicles to watch for vehicle and wildlife violations and disorderly behavior. Respecting Property Lines There are more than 10,000 miles of streams and rivers in Kansas, and most

stream and river beds are privately owned. The rivers in the public domain are the Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri rivers; however, most of the adjacent land is privately owned. Those rivers are open to the public only between the ordinary high water marks on each bank – the line where high water has left debris, sand, and gravel during its ordinary annual cycle. Fences, markings or signage are not required to define the property boundaries. When those rivers flow through private property, permission is needed from adjacent landowners to access the rivers or to engage in any activity on the property above or beyond the ordinary high water marks. Violators can be cited for trespassing. In some places, the ordinary high water mark may be hard to distinguish, but in most

areas, it is relatively clear. An apparent trail leading from the river onto private land does not give the public permission to use the trail or the land around it. If in doubt about the property line, err on the side of caution and confine activities to the river bed. Responsible Use of the River People using the Arkansas River are subject to the same laws and regulations as on land, so operating a vehicle while intoxicated, reckless driving, disorderly conduct and other violations are prohibited. Also, destruction of certain wildlife habitat can be a violation, such as destroying beaver dams and lodges. Where there is some water flow, a beaver dam helps hold back the flow, creating vital habitat for other wildlife during a drought.

And, given the increased activity, consideration and respect for others will be necessary for everyone to enjoy the experience. Personal safety is also important, and proper protective gear should be worn at all times. While on the river, remember that emergency response time may be longer. Most cell phones have GPS capabilities that allow local dispatchers to locate a 911 call and send emergency personnel to the right location. With the proper respect for property, other users and the river environment, everyone using the Arkansas River can enjoy a great outdoor experience.

Rolla sixth graders visit the Air Museum in Liberal.

Rolla Grade School students encounter dinosaurs at Liberal Students in grades one through six at Rolla were treated to a field trip to Liberal to see dinosaurs and airplanes. Information from the Liberal Web site states, "The prehistoric past will come to life for 30 days at the museum,” said Mid-America Air Museum Director Jim Bert, who is overseeing the animatronic displays being assembled at the museum. "This is a herd of dinosaurs—virtual denizens from the distant past—with the movements, lights and sounds to create an extraordinary experience.” The exhibit comes from North America's leading provider of life-size animatronic dinosaurs for zoos, museums and theme parks. Billings dinosaurs have been exhibited not only nationwide at locations like Audubon Nature Institute, St. Louis Zoo and the Los Angeles County Fair, but also worldwide, most recently in Sydney, Australia and Madrid, Spain. The Stegosaurus (which could grow to 29 feet long and nine feet tall and weigh three to four tons) and its baby are just two of the ten exhibits that swarm the air museum.

Another pair is the Triceratops and baby with their three horned faces. Continuing with the mother and child theme, a Parasaurolophus and its egg nest shows newly hatched babies.

Grilling the perfect steak. Follow these simple steps, for a fantastic steak. Season it to your liking. Allow your steak to reach room temperature before grilling. This helps grill a steak faster and more evenly. Trim the steak of excess fat. Any strips of fat should be about 1/4" thick. Also cut through the fat strip about every 1 1/2". As it cooks, fat shrinks faster than the meat and can cause your steaks to curl. Season. A light brushing of olive oil, maybe some fresh cracked pepper and salt is all you need. Though, the seasoning is entirely up to you. Preheat the grill as hot as it will go for a gas grill or a single layer of ashy white coals for a charcoal grill. Oil the grate. An easy way to do this is to take a piece of trimmed fat, hold in tightly in a pair of tongs and rub it on the hot grate. Grill. Place each steak on the grill for one minute. Turn and grill on the second side for an additional minute. Turn and rotate 45 degrees and grill for half the remaining cooking time. Turn again. If you do this right you will get a nice diamond pattern of grill marks. Remove when done. When getting close to having a done steak, press it with your index finger or the flat side of a grilling fork to get a feel for it. A rare steak will be soft. A medium steak will be firm but yielding. A well steak will be firm. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will let the juices flow out from the center, redistributing moisture, so the whole steak is nice and juicy. Grilling Times by Thickness These are total cooking times. Divide in half for each side. Times are approximate and will vary depending on the type of grill, fuel, weather conditions, etc.. Thickness Rare Medium Well Heat 1" 6-8 8-10 10-14 High 1 1/2" 8-10 10-12 12-16 High 2" 12-16 16-20 20-24 Medium

TENDER SLOW-SMOKED BRISKET Ingredients: 7 pounds boneless beef brisket Oak, pecan, mesquite, or hickory chips, soaked in water (see notes) 2 teaspoons paprika 1 teaspoon black pepper, divided Water 1 medium onion, grated 1 Tablespoon butter or margarine 1-1/2 cups catsup 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce Preparation: Prepare briquets. Add desired wood chips (see notes below). Trim excess fat from beef brisket. Combine paprika and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Rub evenly over surface of brisket. Place brisket, fat side down, in 11-1/2 x 9-inch disposable aluminum pan. Add 1 cup water. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Place in center of grid over very low coals. Cover cooker and cook 5 hours, turning brisket over every 1-1/2 hours; remove excess fat from pan with baster as it accumulates. Add additional 1/2 cup water to pan, if needed. Periodically add just enough additional briquets to keep coals at very low temperature. Remove brisket form pan; reserve pan drippings. Place brisket on grid, fat side down, directly over very low coals. Replace grill cover and continue cooking 30 minutes. Meanwhile skim and discard fat from pan drippings; reserve 1 cup drippings. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions; cook until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Add reserved pan drippings, remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper, catsup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and pepper sauce; simmer approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Trim excess fat from brisket; carve brisket across the grain into thin slices. Serve brisket with sauce. NOTES: Coals should be in a single layer with space between each briquet. To check temperature, cautiously hold hand about 4 inches above coals. Very low coals will force removal of hand in 6 to 7 seconds. Water Smoker Directions: Prepare smoker according to manufacturer's directions. Place beef brisket, fat side up, in center of cooking rack. Cover smoker and smoke-cook at low to moderate temperature 4 1/2 to 5 hours or until tender. Yield: three 3-ounce cooked, trimmed servings per pound. Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 6 hours Total Time: 6 hours, 15 minutes Recipe Source: National Cattlemen's Beef Association Reprinted with permission.
