Former Senate President honored at Chamber’s Annual Banquet Friday evening The Hugoton Area Chamber of Commerce enjoyed their annual Chamber Banquet May 3, 2013. After a delicious brisket meal catered by Jackson’s BBQ, Hugoton Area Chamber of Commerce Director Kristin Farnum introduced the chamber board members. The board consists of President Kimberly Kraisinger, Rachel Crane, David Snyder and Cathy Wolters. Also on the board but not present at the banquet were Courtney Leslie and Dean Van Horn. The two Businesses of the Year were announced. Jordan Air and Stevens County Health Care were both honored. Both
businesses are Gold Sponsors of the Chamber. A Gold Sponsor is a business which donates $1,000 each year to the Chamber. Outgoing Chamber Board Member Todd Gayer was recognized for his many years of service to the Chamber of Commerce. His wife Sonja Gayer accepted the award for him. EcoDevo Director Neal Gillespie praised Steve Morris for his more than 20 years of accomplishments. “Steve has been the ‘go-to man’ for western Kansas for the past two decades,” Neal remarked.

The plaque was engraved, “To Steve Morris, in grateful appreciation of two decades of exemplary service in the Kansas Senate. Presented by Hugoton Area Chamber of Commerce and Stevens County Economic Development.” Gillespie also announced the new industrial park east of Hugoton will be renamed Senator Morris Industrial Park which will serve as a legacy to Steve Morris for years to come. Steve had farmed the ground where the industrial park is located for about 30 years. Former Kansas Senate President Steve Morris thanked all, stating his proudest achievement was passing the severance tax trust fund. He was very proud to serve all his constituents.

Commissioners hear about budgets and fireworks The Stevens County Board of County Commissioners met in regular session Monday, May 6, 2013 with all members, David Bozone, James Bell and Pat Hall present. Also present were County Counselor Robert Johnson, County Clerk Pam Bensel and RoGlenda Coulter from The Hugoton Hermes. The following is just an agenda for the day with a few of the unofficial highlights. Official minutes will be published at a later date. Commissioners were finished talking with Dr. Leslie Bissell of SWGC about their
budget. They were still in the process of talking with the representative from SDSI about their budget when this reporter arrived. Verleen Hancock came in to speak of her approval and appreciation for Stevens County’s support to the SDSI. Verleen told of an occurrence when her son Doug was small. She overheard another young boy coming to the rescue of her son. It overwhelmed her to see someone besides herself rescuing and protecting her son. This is the same feeling she gets when she
sees how much the SDSI does to help her son and the help and support Stevens County gives them, so they can keep providing this help. RCDC representatives brought in a presentation for the commissioners to watch about the babies they help. They help, offer training and give support to mothers and babies in need. They brought in their request for support from the county for their budget. Sherri Martin brought in the Soil Conservation Continued to page 5

Annual Brian Lamberson Memorial Rally is planned Dear Editor, It’s that time of the year when members of the Dust Bowl Riders begin contacting businesses and individuals for donations and contributions for this year’s Brian Lamberson Memorial Motorcycle Rally Saturday, June 8, 2013. The Hugoton Dust Bowl Riders proudly stand along with Terry and Linda Lamberson to honor the memory of their son Brian Lamberson. All proceeds from this event are donated back into Stevens County with one half of the proceeds donated to local charities and the other half given in the form of scholarships to Stevens County graduates who are looking to further their education through college or trade school. In May of 2012, five well qualified seniors were the proud recipients of Dust Bowl Rider Scholarships. As you may recall, the venue for the motorcycle rally has changed from the Hugoton VFW to Barb’s Den. The DBR enjoyed many years of successful poker runs at the VFW and sincerely appre-
Dust Bowl Riders ciate the support the VFW has shown and the support they continue to provide. The decision to move the venue to Barb’s Den was based on many factors, some of which were an increased need for security and control as the event continues to grow and expand. The good people at Barb’s Den have taken over the responsibility of checking ID’s, monitoring alcohol consumption and insuring absolutely no underage drinking takes place. That allows the DBR members to focus all their time and attention on coordinating the event itself. We want to make every effort to insure our event is fun and safe for everyone involved. Come join us at Barb’s Den June 8, 2013. Linda Lamberson will be at her usual place at the front table to greet you upon your arrival! You can shop with the vendors, visit with friends, buy a poker hand, and enjoy a great BBQ
meal. Again, local artist Robert Terrill will have original artwork up for auction. We encourage you to come and bid on the auction items or just come and admire the bikes that are as unique as the individuals who ride them! You do not have to ride a motorcycle to enjoy the event. Come out, join the fun and support the Brian Lamberson Memorial Motorcycle Rally and know that the money you contribute goes right back into the community, supporting our youth and those who are in need. If you have questions or would like to be a part of this great event, please feel free to contact any of the DBR members. Current board members for 2013 are as follows: President: Neil Olivier Vice-President: Lizann Shugart Secretary: Scott Butcher Treasurer: Andy Chappell Sincerely, Dust Bowl Riders

Consumer Alert

FLOOD INSURANCE RATES TO INCREASE Kansans evaluating their flood insurance needs should be aware of upcoming rate increases for new and renewal policies, according to Sandy Praeger, Commissioner of Insurance. The rate increases are part of provisions passed by Congress as part of the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012. Floods - or an excess of water (or mud) on normally dry land - are not covered by a typical homeowner’s or renter’s policy. Most homes may be eligible for coverage under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The NFIP offers flood insurance policies, through local insurance agents, for homeowners or renters in communities that participate in the federal program. “Consumers should be aware there is a 30-day waiting period after the purchase of a flood insurance policy before the coverage goes into effect,” Commissioner Praeger said, “so Kansans should take that into consideration when determining if and when to purchase coverage.” The new federal legislation extends NFIP until September 30, 2017. It includes phasing out subsidies on properties with repetitive losses, allowing coverage for multifamily properties, and minimum deductibles for flood claims. The typical policy premium is approximately $500 per year, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which oversees the flood insurance. Although the Kansas Insurance Department can answer basic questions about flood insurance through its Consumer Assistance Hotline, the NFIP is a federal program that has its own website, www.floodsmart.gov. Kansas consumers can also call the FEMA Region VII office at 816-283-7980.

City Council Continued from page 1 The council passed the motion to rezone lots 9 and 10 in Block 85 from “R-2” two family residential district to “B-2” general business district. This is the lot across the street north from Presto Convenience store. Jonathan Pearcy asked the council if the alley entrances in the 500 block of
West Fifth Street could be made wider to accommodate his work trucks. He stated he would pay half of the expenses if the city would pay the other half. After some discussion, the council voted to pay half the expense of this project. Roger Lynch informed the council Lakin and Syracuse

Outgoing Chamber Board Member Todd Gayer is honored for his years of service. Left to right are board members Cathy Wolters;
both adopted resolutions to support the American Constitution Amendment #2 which is the right to bear arms. He asked Hugoton City Council to do the same. The council tabled this issue until the next meeting to allow the city attorney to check into the resolution. Neal Gillespie asked the council to approve the motion to offer a public hearing to discuss the Neighborhood Revitalization. The council passed the motion to have a public hearing. The legal will need to published two times before the public hearing can be scheduled. Robert Floyd asked for permission to block off Sixth Street from the alley by Bultman to Monroe Street from noon until 8:00 p.m. June 8 for the Dust Bowl Riders’ Brian Lamberson Memorial Motorcycle Rally. The council voted to grant the club permission. Paul Nordyke brought in bids for the two pickups the city needs to buy. The council voted to buy one pickup from Riley Chevrolet and one pickup from Ghumm’s Auto. The council asked Paul to get a price for a front end loader the city needs. Mike Eshbaugh was
David Snyder; Sonya Gayer, Todd’s wife, accepting the award; Kristin Farnum; Kimberly Kraisinger and Rachel Crane.
Hospital Board Continued from page 1 all budget forms had been sent to the separate departments Monday and the budget would be available at the next meeting for presentation to the county commissioners. Dave also stated hospital finances are in good shape. General consensus is the hospital should have two to three months of operating expenses to be considered stable. The Stevens County Hospital has a little over two months and all accounts payable are current. Professional fees for contract nursing are higher than expected as well as the cost of utilities at Pioneer Manor. The retail pharmacy is performing well. Hospital Director of Nursing Dawn Maas gave a report for the nursing staff of the hospital. This week is Nurses’ Week and an event has been planned for each day to boost morale including Wacky Hair Day, 80s Day and Rock Star/Diva Day. They have just completed a two-day trauma nursing class. All nurses have been re-certified and new nurses certified. Michelle Martin, operating room coordinator, requested funds to purchase two new colonscopes and one new gastroscope at the cost of $44,383. The hospital has only one colonscope at this time. It is over seven years old and has broken down twice in the last year; forcing patients to be rescheduled. Michelle pointed out that the preparation for the procedure is unpleasant enough the first time; having to reschedule the procedure and repeat the preparation keeps some patients from doing so. Two new colonscopes would allow them to do twice the procedures and allow for a backup in case one failed. The vendor had offered two options—one for 12 months at 0% interest
and one at two years for 2.99% interest. Following discussion, the board unanimously voted to approve the purchase of the equipment and to leave the financing up to administration. The Human Resource report was reviewed next. The board discussed medical staff credentialing and voted unanimously to reappoint Dr. Seon B. Liong as consulting radiologist. Stacy Helget provided a report for the Clinic. The vision of the Clinic is to be 100% covered; either the patient pays up front or they are insured. Accounts overdue 90-120 days are below 1%. Dr. Sam will be on vacation later this month. His on-call duties will be covered by Dr. McGroarty and Dr. Human. Rachel Crane, administrator of Pioneer Manor, gave a report. The current census is 68. They have had five dismissals, three deaths, one return home and two admissions since the last report. The director of nursing for long-term care has been hired, as well as three full-time RNs, two household coordinators and one housekeeper. The RNs have each signed a three-year contract. There are still several CMA and CNA positions available. In a cost-saving measure, the goal is to minimize use of agency nursing staff as much as possible. Linda Stalcup, hospital administrator, updated the board about the hospital. They have received approval for Pioneer Electric to fund the project for the imaging department which includes purchasing a new portable x-ray machine, a new non-portable table and x-ray machine, and a digital mammography machine. The hospital has been approved for up to $400,000, but expects the final
expenditure will be less. A remodel of the x-ray room is being planned to accommodate the updated equipment. Once the remodel is complete, the plan is to have an Open House and invite the public in order to show off the new changes. State surveyors inspected the lab, home health and the imaging department. The lab and home health received zero deficiencies. The portable machine in imaging did not pass inspection; however, that will be resolved with the purchase of the new equipment. The scholarship committee has awarded three seniors out of 14 applicants - a $1,000 scholarship. The committee will again take the concession this year to help fund the scholarship. Next week is Hospital Week and activities planned for all week, including a meal catered by Honey’s BBQ and a raffle for goodie baskets. Raffle tickets are purchased by donating canned goods to Project Hope. In old business, the plumbing issue at the hospital was discussed. Only one bid has been received. The work would be scheduled during the daytime in the workweek to keep labor costs down. Motion was made and approved unanimously to accept Tatro Plumbing’s bid for less than $20,000 to replace the horizontal castiron plumbing in the old part of the hospital. Chairman Warren Willis advised he had received a call from a county commissioner about the state of the landscaping at Pioneer Manor. The problems were discussed at length and Trevor and Larry were asked to explore options. There being no new business, the board voted to enter executive session.
elected “President of the Hugoton City Council.” Gary Rowden was appointed Director #1 for the Kansas Municipal Energy Agency board. The official depositories was designated to be Citizens State Bank and First National Bank. The official city paper was designated to be Hugoton Hermes Newspaper. The city officials reappointed were City Treasurer - Carrie Baeza; City Inspector - Joshua Grubbs; City Clerk - Thomas G. Hicks; Chief of PoliceCourtney Leslie; Outside Utilities Supervisor - Paul Nordyke; Electrical System Supervisor - Gary Rowden; City Attorney Wayne R. Tate; and Municipal Judge - Sherri Leonard. Wayne Tate reported Kansas Dairy Ingredient’s attorney has finally responded to the proposed temporary industrial wastewater treatment agreement. Tate will consider the requests for changes and modify the agreement with conditions he feels are acceptable and forward the document for the council to review. KDI has executed the consent to annexation. The city attorney will prepare an ordinance annexing the KDI property and all the rest of the Stevens County Industrial Park. Councilman Eshbaugh suggested a committee be appointed to work with Kansas Dairy Ingredients to improve communications for the development of its business and its effects to city services. The mayor appointed Mike Eshbaugh and Dan Corpening to serve as the committee. After going into executive session in regard to personnel matters, the meeting adjourned.

Different ideas for outdoor storage When people think of outdoor storage, they generally envision garden sheds to house their lawn and garden equipment and tools. However, if space doesn't allow for a large shed, there is no need to fret because there are other storage possibilities. Consider a garden ottoman or bench, for example. This structure can be built from wood and then painted or covered in padded fabric. Store small items inside the ottoman, which can also serve as a table or additional seating. Additionally, an ottoman can keep garden tools like shovels and rakes organ-

ized. Homeowners with a deck can construct lidded deck boxes to store patio cushions or any other outdoor equipment. Utilizing the space under the deck is another idea. Cover the perimeter of the bottom of the deck with lattice and install one piece on a hinge to serve as a door. Store equipment underneath and out of sight. It also will be protected from the elements. From Metro Editorial Services.
Thursday, May 15, 2008 Kristen Schnittker was selected to attend the Twentyfifth Annual Governor’s Scholars Award May 4, 2008 in Topeka. The recognition ceremony honors the top academic 1% of Kansas high School seniors. Thursday, May 15, 2003 Hugoton postal workers collected 975 pounds of food from postal patrons Saturday during the “Help Stamp Out Hunger” campaign. After the food was weighed, Hugoton and Moscow boy scouts from Boy Scout Troop 189 unloaded the food at the Stevens County Food Closet. Thursday, May 13, 1993 The tornado was a quarter to a half mile wide and swept across Stevens County from bottom to top Thursday evening for over 25 miles with a tremendous fury devastating everything in its way. The violent winds marched through the Dave Moser home about 8:52 in the evening and ravaged everything the family had accumulated at the farm located between Moscow and Hugoton. One of the most surprising sights when the family emerged from the basement, which was all that was left of their home was the Moser daughter’s car standing straight up against a red truck. Both vehicles had been housed in the 60x130 foot
shed. Sheriff DeWitt and his men report two separate storms grew into this one huge threat that wreaked havoc all along the twentyfive mile trek that night. Thursday, May 12, 1983 Avis Bevans, after thirtyseven years as an educator, has decided to retire. She has been teaching Hugoton sixth graders for the past twentythree years. Friday, May 17, 1973 Don Trentham of Bigbee Motors will be honored for outstanding sales performance during 1972 at a 300500 Club banquet in May. This club was founded to recognize performance of outstanding salesmen throughout the nation. Thursday, May 16, 1963 A/3c John Gregg, son of Mr. and Mrs. E.M. Gregg came home last week for a 30 day leave. John is being transferred from Alaska. Thursday, May 21, 1953 The new Moscow Methodist Church had their ground breaking ceremony this week in preparation to begin construction for their new building. About 100 people attended the ceremony. If any readers have pictures for the history page of the Hermes, please bring them in to Ruthie Winget at The Hugoton Hermes.

Eagles are GWAC League Champs It was an exciting night at the Hugoton baseball field when the Eagles played Scott City in two tough games. Game one brought Ross Davis to the mound where he struck out six batters, walked one and allowed six runs. Despite all, the Eagles played a hard game and came up victorious, 9-6. Scott City was first on the scoreboard in the first inning but was shut down before any real harm could be done. Seven batters for the Eagles went to the plate in the first inning scoring once to tie the score going into the top of the second. Nic Frederick scored the Eagles first run on an RBI. Scott City was down by three in the seventh inning. The Beavers rallied getting runners on bases and in scoring position threatening to take the win away from Hugoton. Davis got Scott City’s Tyler Hess to fly out, ending the game and the win for Hugoton. The second game was a
long hard fought battle taking it to 12 innings. Scott City did not like losing the first game and played a harder defense in game two. Hugoton had several players reach bases and move into scoring position only to be stopped by the visiting Beavers. Hugoton however outlasted the Scott City team and ended the battle with another win, 6-5. Yates Sutton went to the mound in the second game. He battled the visiting team from the mound and while playing offense. Sutton reached bases five times, scored one run and doubled in the fourth inning. Slade Shuck came in to finish the final two innings from the mound relieving Sutton after a well fought ten innings. Shuck struck out one batter and gave up three hits. By the end of the twelfth inning Hugoton had six runs, 15 hits, six RBI’s and 19 runners left on base. These wins gave the Eagles enough wins to claim the league championship.

Pheasants Forever biologists will conduct CRP workshops The Farm Service Agency will administer a Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) general sign-up May 20, 2013 through June 14, 2013. To get the word out about this sign-up period and to assist landowners in signing up, Kansas Pheasants Forever biologists will conduct a series of workshops across the state.There will be three workshops in Hugoton May 14. One will be at the Stevens County NRCS/FSA from 8:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m. The next one will be at the Stevens County Fair Office at 2:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. The workshops will be set up to answer any questions landowners have about CRP, as well as provide attendees with information on how they can improve their chances of getting accepted through the use of practices beneficial to wildlife. Several of the workshop locations are accepting walk-in customers and appointments to provide one-on-
one, site-specific consultations. To find a Pheasants Forever CRP workshop near you, see the list below. Landowners enrolled in the CRP program receive annual rental payments and costshare assistance to establish long-term, resource-conserving covers on eligible farmland. Land that is not currently enrolled in CRP can be offered during sign-up if all eligibility requirements are met. Contracts awarded during this general sign-up will become effective October 1, 2013. The CRP program was first included in the 1985 Farm Bill to reduce soil erosion by taking land out of production and establishing permanent cover. At the time, it was estimated that topsoil was being lost at a rate of 3 billion tons per year due to erosion. Today’s CRP program has evolved to address issues of water quality, as well as wildlife habitat. In Kansas, CRP has reduced erosion, im-
proved water and air quality, and provided more than 2 million acres of native grass
habitat critical to prairie wildlife, including the lesser prairie chicken.
2013 Fishing Atlas is now available Packed with over 60 pages of detailed, easy-to-read maps, the 2013 Kansas Fishing Atlas is a must-have for any angler. In addition to maps of public waters, anglers can also find maps of Fishing Impoundment and Stream Habitats (F.I.S.H.) waters, Community Fisheries Assistance Program (CFAP) leased properties, and lakes deemed as Family Friendly Facilities (FFF). F.I.S.H. F.I.S.H. sites are privatelyowned ponds or streams the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) has leased and opened to public fishing. These sites are numbered in red on each map. CFAP CFAP leases fishing rights for lakes operated by communities to ensure no additional fees are charged for anglers.
More than 200 community lakes, covering nearly 13,000 acres, are enrolled in CFAP for 2013. FFF FFF lakes are alcohol-free fishing spots with flush toilets, regular security patrols, security lighting and easy accessibility, making them perfect for family fishing outings. FFF lakes are indicated on the list of CFAP-enrolled properties found at the front of the fishing atlas. Anglers can obtain the 2013 Kansas Fishing Atlas from most KDWPT offices and license vendors, as well as online at www.ksoutdoors.com To download an electronic version of the 2013 Kansas Fishing Atlas, visit www.ksoutdoors.com and click “KDWPT Info / Locations / Hunting & Fishing Maps by County / 2013 Fishing Atlas.”

Lady Eagles split wins with Scott City The Lady Eagles traveled to Scott City Friday, May 3 where they split the wins with the Lady Beavers in the double header. In game one the Lady Eagles took an early lead, 5-0 in the third inning. Taylor Haar started Hugoton off on their five run rally by singling then stealing to second. Chastity Parsons hammered a double bringing in Haar. Parsons soon stole home giving the team a two to zero lead. Even though the Lady Eagles got seven hits and scored eight runs throughout the game it wasn't enough to take the win. Final score was 8-9, Scott City. The Lady Eagles came alive in the second game of the double header tearing up the Scott City team. Hugoton started the away game with two runs in the first inning with runs by Tessa Rindles and Taryn Garza. Garza led her team to a 19 to 2 victory with a home run in the first, a single in the second and third innings and three RBI’s on three hits. Garza went to the mound and held Scott City, keeping the Lady Beavers from hitting any pitches throughout most of the game. Kelsey Hittle relieved Garza, pitching the final two and one-third innings where she allowed two runs. Hugoton exploded in the third inning, racking up 14 runs. Pounding the Scott City pitches, the home team ended with 18 hits, 14 RBI’s and a total of 19 runs.

Chastity Parsons led her team in runs, going to bat four times and scoring three runs. She brought in three runners. Garza, Josie Mueller, Abbi Lopez, Kelsey Hittle and Taylor Haar also scored runs, giving Hugoton the win. Game two didn’t go as well for the Hugoton girls, as the
ladies lost the contest 3 - 9. The Lady Eagles tried three pitchers during the game but were not able to find the right pitcher to stop the Lakin girls. Garza pitched two innings, giving up five hits and four runs. Mueller tried pitching one inning but did
not have any luck holding the opposing team. She had three hits and gave up two runs before retiring from the mound. Hittle finished up but, like the previous pitchers, she gave up ten hits and allowed three runs, giving the win to Lakin.

AG reports concealed carry permit applications continue at a fast clip More than 3,000 Kansans applied for concealed carry permits during the month of April, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said today. Schmidt said his office received 3,462 applications for concealed carry permits during April. While this number is down slightly from the record month in March, it is still the third-highest month since the concealed carry licensing program began in 2007. It represents a 140 percent increase from the 1,442 permit applications that were received in April 2012. Schmidt said his office is working diligently to process the applications in a timely manner while ensuring complete and accurate review of each application as required by law. Currently, applications are being processed in 89 days or less except for
those that are pending the receipt of additional information. Since last fall, additional staff have been hired or temporarily reassigned to assist in processing the sharp increase in applications, more than doubling the number of people assigned to the processing of concealed carry permit applications compared with this time last year. Investigators who conduct applicants’ backgrounds checks are working overtime. The Legislature is still considering the attorney general’s request for authority to hire up to three additional licensing personnel in order to reduce processing time. In the first four months of 2013, Schmidt’s office received 14,274 new concealed carry applications. There are currently 55,988 active concealed carry licensees in Kansas.
SCCC Crusader wins prestigious collegiate journalism awards The Crusader received the coveted All-Kansas Award and a Gold Medalist Award in the two-year newspaper overall division at the Kansas Collegiate Media convention April 14-15 in Wichita. The Crusader is the student newspaper of Seward County Community College/ Area Technical School. Crusader editor Jose Medrano was named the Kansas two-year newspaper Journalist of the Year. In addition, the first-place award for two-year online newspapers went to the CrusaderNews.com staff, led by online editor Cinthia Serna of Kismet and past online editor Raul Lemus of Liberal. The Crusader staff received 25 individual awards, including eight first-place awards, four second-place awards, seven third-place awards and six honorable mentions. The on-site copy-editing contest recognized Crusader news editor Matthew Adkins, Liberal, as the first-place winner. In a sweep of the special sections category, the Crusader staff claimed the first, second and third-place awards for issues produced in February 2013, August 2012 and May 2012. The All-Kansas award is the top overall award available at the KCM state competition. “It is so difficult to win the AllKansas,” said Anita Reed, journalism instructor and Crusader adviser. “It’s kind of like that gold ring on the merry-go-round — we have thought we were within reaching distance several times in the last few years, but we just haven’t been able to grab hold. This year, the Crusader staff brought home the prize, and I am so proud of them for the talent and dedication that it took to receive that recognition as an All-Kansas staff.” The Crusader editors and
Page 1B
staff members were also enthusiastic about winning the top award. “Winning the All-Kansas award was amazing. It has been 12 years since the Crusader last received an AllKansas award. I don’t like to brag much, but there were high expectations going in for our staff, and we delivered,” Medrano said. Reed and 11 members of the Crusader staff attended the convention. Editors Jose Medrano, Liberal, and Tonya Loewen, Meade; news editor Matthew Adkins, Liberal; sports editor Sandy Alfaro, Liberal; entertainment editor Morgan Riley, Levelland, Tx.; and staff writers and photographers Celestina Padilla, Tyrone, Ok.; Fabi Pena, Liberal; Dawn Shouse, Liberal; Jakub Stepanovic, Czech Republic; Giseelle Arredondo, Liberal; and Julia Frey, Germany, represented the Crusader at the convention. The convention began April 14 with an Associated Press style editing contest, breakout sessions, publication critiques and an awards ceremony. Staff members attended more sessions the morning of April 15. The sessions were on topics such as newspaper design, editing tips and sales and marketing. The convention ended Monday afternoon with the final awards ceremony, where the Crusader received the AllKansas Award, Gold Medalist Award and Kansas two-year Newspaper Journalist of the Year Award, which came with a plaque and $250. The winner must be nominated by a faculty adviser and submit a portfolio of work, a resume, cover letter, and two additional letters of reference to be considered as a KJOY nominee. “It was a great honor to win
Kansas Journalist of the Year, and I couldn’t have received the award without the help of the staff that I have now. But personally, I know I shouldn’t be, but I’m prouder of winning first place in photo essays. It was a 3:00 a.m. energy drink filled project on a print night,” Medrano said. That first-place photo essay award was earned by Medrano, Stepanovic, Adkins, Riley, Padilla, and Cheree Turley for Pancake Day coverage. Medrano also took first place in sports feature writing, second place in news photography, third place in column writing, front page design and infographics categories, and honorable mention in feature writing, infographics and news writing categories. Loewen received first place in illustration, second place in infographics, third place in series writing and honorable mention in headline writing, infographics and interior page design. Adkins received first place in copy-editing and honorable mention in infographics. “It was easier than editing an actual newspaper because I knew that there would be mistakes. The only real preparation I had was my experience editing for the Crusader,” Adkins said of his on-site copyediting honor. “I was surprised because I was one of the first ones done with the test and I prepared less than others who didn’t even place in the contest.” Stepanovic received first place in both illustration and sports photography and honorable mention in interior page design. Frey received a firstplace award in sports column writing. Shouse received third place for multimedia storytelling. Staff member Jordan Long received second place for
illustration and third place for single ad design. Previous members of the Crusader also received awards, since the contest entries span from February 2012 through February 2013. Morgan Wills received first place for series writing and Levi Adams received third place for series writing. “I’m so proud that all of our hard work and late nights were worth it. Not only do we get recognized on campus, but we also win national and state awards in most of the categories that we enter,” Loewen said.

Older Americans Month May is Older Americans Month and I thought this would be a great time to feature information helpful to those over a certain age! I am not going to define Older Americans in a category because it could be over 50 or over 75 depending on who you ask. This week I learned that on a federal level if you are looking for help or assistance for older adults it is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and is called Administration for Community Living. On a federal level they have combined the people who used to work with aging and the people who used to work with disabilities and put them into this new group. The administration has a website that provides some excellent resources. The site is www.acl.gov. You can click ‘Help and Resources’ and
then click ‘Older Adults’. This page takes you to information about Alzheimers, Long Term Care Planning and various free publications. There is also an Eldercare link. This gives you a chance to put in your zip code, and for those in our area, it directs you to the Southwest Kansas Area Agency on Aging Web site. For those who haven´t heard of SWKAAA, it is a planning, coordinating and funding agency for services to anyone age 60 and older living in southwest Kansas. They serve the following groups of Kansans: those age 60 and older; disabled and handicapped individuals; families of older Kansans; senior centers and service providers; federal and state funding agencies; and Taxpayers of Southwest Kansas Their goals are to secure maximum independence for older Kansans; remove indi-
vidual and social barriers to economic and personal independence; and prevent unnecessary and premature institutionalisation. For more information about SWKAAA you can also check at your local Senior Center. If you are looking to help maybe a parent or family member, someone else this Eldercare link is great for, is for directing them to available resources in their area. On the same page is a link to Check for Benefits. This is another tool that can be very helpful for older adults or those with disabilities to find additional assistance. It does take a little time to fill out and ask some pretty specific questions about income and assets, but it doesn’t ever ask for name or personal information, such as phone, address or social security number. Instead, it takes the information you provide about in-
come, expenses and assets, and searches to see what benefits you might qualify to receive. Again, you can fill it out for a parent or someone else, if you know their basic information. Because there are so many Web sites and news articles with information regarding seniors, be sure and pay attention to who is providing the information. Government sites that end in .gov or educational sites that end in .edu are usually safe bets as far as the information being provided. Be aware many sites may want to sell you products, insurance or health care plans. Be cautious, and never give out vital information over unsecured Web sites. This month I will feature a variety of topics intended for Older Adults. I hope you look each week for my column to see information that could be helpful to you or a loved one.
Making It Click: Research aims to increase child safety when seat belts are in use Vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death and injury among children. Kansas State University civil engineers are striving to increase child safety by studying a simple action: buckling up. The engineers - Sunanda Dissanayake, associate professor of civil engineering, and Niranga Amarasingha, a postdoctoral researcher in civil engineering - have found the most effective strategy to prevent injury and death among children is to use age- and size-appropriate seat belt restraints. Nearly 97 percent of children under the age of 4 use safety restraints, according to 2010 observational surveys in Kansas. But only 76 percent of older children - ages four to 13 years old use seat belts, even though motor vehicle crashes are the number one killer for that age group. "Children are the innocent victims in vehicle crashes," Dissanayake said. "They are just sitting in the car and yet they are involved in crashes. We want to see why these crashes are happening and what characteristics they have when children are involved. We want to understand why these seat belt numbers are low and how to improve them to keep children safe." The engineers have partnered with the Kansas Department of Transportation and the Kansas Transportation Research and New Developments, or K-TRAN, program. The researchers studied state databases that contain information about vehicle crashes from 2004 to 2008. During that time, children ages 4 to 13 were involved in 50,155 crashes in Kansas. The researchers studied children ages four to 13 because of Kansas child restraint laws, which require children ages four to seven to be secured in a booster seat - unless they weigh more than 80 pounds or are taller than 57 inches - and chil-
dren ages eight to 13 to be protected by a seat belt. In 2010 Kansas legislators passed a primary seat belt law, which requires all passengers who are 14 years or older to wear a seat belt. While seat belt usage in Kansas has risen in recent years, there is still much room for improvement, Dissanayake said. "We really want to know why young children have low seat belt usage because this is an area that can easily be improved," Dissanayake said. "Children will not be on their own in a car. They will always be with an adult, and that adult can ask the child to buckle up." When analyzing data, the engineers found several factors made it less likely for a child to buckle up. Children were less likely to use seat belts if the driver was intoxicated, if the driver was not buckled up and if the child was riding in an older vehicle. The type of car also affected seat belt usage. Children in pick-up trucks had the lowest seat belt usage rate, children in cars had better seat belt usage rates, and children in SUVs and vans used seat belts the most. The most frequent factors contributing to Kansas crashes involving children were inattentive driving, failure to yield right of way, driving too fast, wet roads and animals in the road. The crash factor also affected seat belt usage. For example, 96 percent of children were using seat belts during crashes caused by improper turn or following a car too closely, while 74 percent of children were using seat belts during crashes caused by reckless or careless driving. Other factors, such as the driver not following license restrictions, also involved low seat belt usage by children. "There is a connection between the cause of the crash and seat belt usage," Dissanayake said. Seat belt usage also related to children's injury severity, Dis-

sanayake said. Crash-related injury levels included: fatal injuries, incapacitating injuries, non-incapacitating injuries, possible injury and no injury. Seat belt usage gradually increased as injuries became less severe, which shows the effectiveness of seat belts in saving lives. More than 84 percent of uninjured children in vehicle crashes were wearing seat belts, yet only 40 percent of children with fatal injuries were using seat belts at the time of the crash. "It is so important to save these lives by doing the simple task of just buckling up," Dissanayake said. In addition to using age- and size-appropriate restraints among children, the researchers developed countermeasures to improve children's seat belt usage. The countermeasures fall

SPCC Informational Meeting to take place in Hugoton Farm liquid spills endanger public health, impact drinking water, devastate natural resources, and disrupt the economy. Every effort must be made to prevent spills and to clean them up promptly once they occur. The purpose of the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule is to help facilities and farms prevent a discharge of farm liquids into navigable waters. A key element of the SPCC rule requires farms and other facilities to develop, maintain and implement a spill prevention plan, called a SPCC Plan. To address area producer questions, Stevens County KState Research and Extension, is hosting an informational meeting Thursday, May 9, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Stevens County 4H Building, 1130 S. Trindle St. in Hugoton.
The meetings will provide an update on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements and worksheets available for producers to utilize for developing a plan for their farm units. The meeting will help producers develop and write their own plan according to the EPA requirements. According to EPA, farm units with on-site farm liquids (i.e. fuel/oil) storage that exceeds 1,320 U.S. gallons in above ground containers must have a SPCC plan in place by May 10, 2013. There is no cost or pre-registration required to attend. Each meeting will be approximately 90 minutes including time for questions. Refreshments will be served at each location. For additional information contact Joshua Morris, Stevens County Extension Agent at the Stevens County Extension Office (620-544-4359).
Early risers last Wednesday, May 1, May Day, saw a sight not generally associated with Kansas in May - SNOW! Slug-a-beds were not so fortunate; if one crawled out of bed after
Kansans turned in more than five tons of unused medications during last Saturday’s National Drug TakeBack Day, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said. Local law enforcement officials collected 10,193 pounds of medications at 101 locations across the state. The semi-annual event was sponsored nationwide by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, which collects and safely destroys the medications. This was the highest amount ever collected in Kansas during a take-back day. More than 17 tons of medications have been col-
lected in Kansas since the program began in 2010. “Kansans clearly understand the importance of safely disposing of unused medications,” Schmidt said. “By safely disposing of these medications, these drugs are no longer at risk of accidental or intentional misuse.” Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are increasing, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show a majority of abused prescrip-

concerning a recommendation by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism to prohibit the use of vehicles and radios for coyote hunting during the regular firearm deer season (December 4-15 for 2013). The recommendation was intended to aide law enforcement officers curb illegal deer hunting. Coyote hunters attended the afternoon session to express their concerns about losing hunting opportunities. The recommendation will be discussed again at the commission’s June 27 meeting in Garden City. During the Public Hearing, commissioners approved establishing short - term RV parking for a fee of $50 per month at Scott, Meade, Glen Elder, Kanopolis and Webster state parks. Recommendations for standard season dates for 2013 elk and antelope seasons were approved.

tion drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that traditional methods for disposing of unused medicines – flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash – pose potential safety and health hazards and should be avoided. Unused prescriptions can be turned in year-round at many local law enforcement locations. Kansans should contact their local sheriff’s office or police department for more information.

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS By Brandon Werth Social Security District Manager in Dodge City MOTHERS EVERYWHERE APPRECIATE EXTRA HELP Think of all the times and ways that Mom has helped you over the years — when you were a child, and after you became an adult. With Mother’s Day upon us, now is a good time to pay Mom back with a little Extra Help — with her Medicare prescription drug costs. If your mother is covered by Medicare and has limited income and resources, she may be eligible for Extra Help — available through Social Security — to pay part of her monthly premiums, annual deductibles, and prescription co-payments. The Extra Help is estimated to be worth about $4,000 per year. That means putting $4,000 in Mom’s pocket without having to spend a dime! To figure out whether your mother is eligible, Social Security needs to know her income and the value of her savings, investments and real estate (other than the home she lives in). To qualify for the Extra Help, she must be receiving Medicare and have: • Income limited to $17,235 for an individual or $23,265 for a married couple living together. Even if her annual income is higher, she still may be able to get some help with monthly premiums, annual deductibles, and prescription co-payments. Some examples where income may be higher include if she and, if married, her spouse: —Support other family members who live with them; —Have earnings from work; or —Live in Alaska or Hawaii. • Resources limited to $13,300 for an individual or $26,580 for a married couple living together. Resources in-
clude such things as bank accounts, stocks, and bonds. We do not count her house or car as a resource. Social Security has an easy-to-use online application that you can help complete for your mom. You can find it at www.socialsecu rity.gov/prescriptionhelp. To apply by phone or have an application mailed to you, call Social Security at 1-800772-1213 (TTY 1-800-3250778) and ask for the Application for Help with Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Costs (SSA-1020). Or go to the nearest Social Security office. Find the Social Security office nearest you by using our online office locator. You’ll find it at the bottom of the “Popular Services”
section at www.socialsecu rity.gov. To learn more about the Medicare prescription drug plans and special enrollment periods, visit www.medicare.gov or call 1800-MEDICARE (1-800-6334227; TTY 1-877-486-2048). Mom has always been there to help you. She’s sure to appreciate a little Extra Help this Mother’s Day — especially if you can show her how to put $4,000 in her pocket without spending a dime! Keep in mind as Father’s Day approaches, you can get the same “free gift” of Extra Help for Dad! Learn more by visiting www.so cialsecurity.gov/prescription help.

Kori Hall receives $1,500 academic scholarship Kori Hall, a graduating senior in Rolla High School’s Class of 2013, has been selected to receive a $1,500 academic scholarship from the Foundation for Rural Education and Development (FRED). Sponsored locally by Pioneer Communications, the scholarship is awarded to a select number of graduating high school seniors based on their merits and a demonstrated commitment to rural life. This year FRED selected 53 students from across the United States, awarding a total of $75,000 to benefit the education of rural youth. Now in its twenty-first year, the program has provided a total of more than $1.2 million of financial support to students across rural America. "Given her impressive record of academic excellence and student leadership, combined with a commitment to community service, we were
Kori Hall pleased to nominate Kori’s application for consideration in the national competition," said Catherine Moyer, Pioneer Communications' CEO and General Manager. "And we were excited to learn that Kori had ultimately been selected by the Foundation to be amongst a group of scholars representing a bright future for rural America."
FRED, a national charitable foundation located in Washington, DC, was established in 1989 by the Organization for the Promotion and Advancement of Small Telecommunications Companies (OPASTCO). The Foundation and its advocates strive to promote education and development in rural areas. FRED also works to publicize the fact that more than 500 small, independent telephone companies are providing state-of-the-art services to their customers and telecommunications technologies that help to drive business, economic development and educational opportunities in rural communities. "The primary interest of the Foundation is to assist students like Kori with high potential for success and a strong desire to return to a rural community upon graduation," said FRED Foundation Director, Melissa
Korzuch. "Each of this year's FRED scholars is very intelligent and exceedingly active in their community. We hope every FRED scholar will someday return to their hometowns to contribute to the community that clearly gave them a valuable and productive start in life." Hall has plans to attend Southwestern Oklahoma State University this fall to pursue studies in the school’s Pre-Chiropractic program. For more information about the Foundation and its youth programs, contact Pioneer Communications or visit the FRED Web site at www.fred.org.

It’s spring! No - it’s winter? No - it’s spring! One thing is definite - it is May and we have a plan for the Aglow program Thursday, May 9. Coffee and fellowship will precede the meeting at 7:00 p.m. Mary Ann Forward and Ruth Farmer will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. All are invited to attend. A conference came up in April that used to take place in Kansas, but now takes place in Oklahoma City. Western Kansas now has just two functioning Aglow chapters. Other areas still have some interest but it seems there are no members who want the leadership positions. One by one the chapters have closed. Hugoton and Great Bend are still alive and well. The same malady has occurred in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. These three areas have been consolidated and the annual conference has taken place in Oklahoma City for three years. Mary Ann has a position on the Board. The keynote speaker for the recent conference was Lisa McFarland, founder of Warring Dove International, which encourages men and women to seek the glory of God and contend to see “His Kingdom established on Earth as it is in Heaven.” God is raising up men and women who are ready to take back the kingdom. Many have experienced healing and freedom as she creates an atmosphere for His presence. Mary Ann and Ruth will be sharing elements of the conference at this month’s Aglow meeting. The women hope to impart the excitement and spiritual impact of Lisa and her “War Doves,” several young women who minister alongside her. Hugoton Aglow looks forward to having you attend to woship and praise the Lord. Submitted by Ruth Farmer for Hugoton Aglow.

Chapter 59) Case No. 13 PR 14 NOTICE OF HEARING ON PETITION TO PROBATE OF WILL AND FIRST CODICIL AND NOTICE TO CREDITORS
CORRECT TIME TEMPERATURE Call 844
THE STATE OF KANSAS TO ALL PERSONS CONCERNED: You are hereby notified a petition has been filed on May 2, 2013, in this Court by Thomas R. Cromwell, as personal representative named in the will, praying for admission to probate of the Last Will and Testament of Ethel D. Cromwell, deceased, dated December 13, 2001 and the First Codicil to the Will of Ethel D. Cromwell, dated November 10, 2006, which will and codicil are filed with
children to explore volume by transferring rice or water into the different containers. 9. Insta-Snow: Insta-Snow is a super absorbent polymer available at craft stores, or you can make your own by collecting it from the insides of clean disposable diapers. Add some water to the home-made version and use it with measuring cups and containers of different sizes, or with small plastic polar animals. 10. Marbles and Melon Scoops: Children use melon scoops to pick up marbles and put them in an ice cube tray. 11. Pom-Poms, Bottles, and Tongs: Children use tongs to pick up colored pom-poms and drop them into a bottle. This activity is good fine motor practice and hand-eye coordination. 12. Trucks & Blocks with Sand: Children can build a small village with blocks and roll the trucks in the sand to make roads around their village. 13. Turkey Baster: Use a turkey baster with water to let children squirt and fill different sized containers (such as buckets and measuring cups). These are like using giant eye droppers and are good fine motor practice! 14. Cups With and Without Holes: Children use cups with and without holes to explore in the water. Use clear punch cups and place two without holes and two with holes in the sensory table. Children enjoy watching the “rain” fall from the cups with holes. 15. Catching Fish: Purchase a small package of foam fish at a craft store for about $2. If foam fish aren’t available you can use any foam shape or cut them from sheets of craft foam. Kids can use a kitchen strainer to “catch” the fish in the water and buckets to collect the fish that they caught. 16. Catching Insects in Easter Grass: Add about 3 bags of green Easter grass to the sensory table and hide plastic ladybugs and ants in the grass. Each child at the sensory table uses a pair of tweezers and a bug box to “catch” the insects.
17. Magnets: Fill the table with rice. Mix in some nonmagnetic plastic beads (such as colorful pony beads), magnetic marbles, and colored metal paper clips. Give each child a magnet wand or refrigerator magnet. Children explore with the magnets in the sensory table, discovering which items are magnetic and which are not, to find buried treasure. They can also see how many paper clips and magnetic marbles they can attach to the wands before they fall. (Note: These items could be a choking hazard for very young children.) 18. Flour and Water Mixture: Place a cup of flour, cup of water, spoon, and bowl in the sensory table for each child. Children can choose the amounts of flour and water to add to their bowl and stir, experimenting to see the different consistencies they get when they add more water or more flour. 19. Lily Pads, Turtles, Frogs, and Fish: Cut green craft foam sheets into lily pad shapes. Pour water into the sensory table and add the lily pads. Ad some small plastic animals, such as fish, turtles and frogs, to the water. Children can place these aquatic creatures on the floating lily pads. Setting up a sensory table will prove to be a rewarding experience for you as well as your children. At Russell Child Development sensory experiences are used frequently. Most of our Learn & Play sites that are held in 24 different locations across Western Kansas use them at play groups. You can see some of the versions Learn & Play has already tested out by visiting Learn & Play Project on Facebook at www.facebook.com/LearnandPlayProject. Learn more about the high quality, inclusive services Russell Child Development (RCD) offers in your community today by visiting us online at www.rcdc4kids.org.

Sensory Table Play Sensory table activities provide such wonderful learning opportunities for children that a little mess is well worth it. Sensory table activities can help children develop fine motor skills, increase math and science skills, and they are a wonderful way for children to pretend that they are adults. With a little imagination, children will be learning while they are playing with basic, everyday items you have in your home! Preschools and In-Home Child Care Providers will typically offer some type of a sensory table. Creating one at home can be simple, consisting of a plastic container that sits on your table or floor, or one can be purchased through a school supply store. If you are limited on space, a plastic container will work just fine. Here is a simple list of home sensory table activities to consider: 1. Color Mixing: Mix primary-colored water to make secondary colors. 2. Mixing Goop: Mix cornstarch with colored water to make “goop”. 3. Bubbles: Add liquid soap to water with medicine droppers and blow bubbles with a straw. 4. Pouring: Pour water or sand into different sized containers. 5. Ice Rainbows: Add drops of colored water to cups of crushed ice and let the exploring begin! 6. Creative Exploration: Lizards - Use craft sand with tree blocks (or other items from nature such as twigs and small branches), river rocks, and plastic lizards for creative play. Turtles - Add water to river rocks, aquarium grass, and plastic turtles to make an aquatic environment for creative play. 7. Transferring (Left to Right): Use a spoon to move cocoa from the bowl on the left to the right. The cocoa gives off a nice scent. Cinnamon and other spices can also be used. 8. Exploring Volume: Use dry rice, or water, with colored jewels. Measuring cups, funnels, different sizes and shapes of clear glass containers allow
