She is the daughter of Joe and Lisa LeNeve of Hugoton.

She finished in the top ten, and a true passion emerged for the pageant world. “I fell in love with the pageant world,” Catie gushes. Her first pageant was a wonderful experience, helping her gain confidence and hone her speaking and interview skills. Catie has also met several lifelong friends. She encourages young girls to participate in pageants because of the positive impact the experience can have on their lives. Catie’s platform “Changing Minds: Mental Health Awareness” is extremely personal to her because mental health is “. . . the core to a healthy

Abby Heger performed well in her 3200 meter run, and gained valuable experience for next season. Coach Rodriguez was impressed with the team’s performance at State, noting that two relays set school records at the meet - the 4x800 and the 4x400.

Mitchell Hamlin also set a personal record in his 3200 meter run. Coach Rodriguez said, “The 4x4 guys really ran well in their race. I think most of those guys ran some of their best
splits of the season.” The coaching staff was very pleased with the overall performance of the team. Coach lamented, “It will be difficult replacing this year’s seniors, but we have some other kids reContinued to page 6
Catie LeNeve and happy life.” She wants to bring light to improvements in diagnoses and recovery options. Catie says, “Through my personal experience I have learned that you can live a normal life even when suffering from mental illness with the right action plan and help.

Catie vows to continue to promote mental health awareness if she’s crowned Miss Kansas, as well as promoting Miss America’s platform, the Children’s Miracle NetHospital. Catie work states, “Given the opportunity, I will be able to advocate for mental health wherever I go and have a positive influence on young people.” The Miss America Organization has been around since 1921 and has become the numberone scholarship provider for young women.

Consumer Alert From the
Kansas Insurance Department & Kansas Insurance Commissioner Ken Selzer BE SURE TO HAVE A FINANCIAL SAY IN RETIREMENT Ken Selzer, CPA, Kansas Commissioner of Insurance, and Josh Ney, Kansas Securities Commissioner, are urging Kansans to review their financial preparedness and insurance priorities concerning retirement as a way to educate themselves about their future needs. “Changes in employee benefits, longer life spans, and uncertainty with Social Security and Medicare, as well as health care, are challenges for today’s older Kansans,” Commissioner Selzer said. “Assessing your financial preparedness for retirement is a first step to achieving financial freedom,” said Commissioner Ney. The two commissioners offered their comments in light of National Retirement Planning Week, which is celebrated annually in April through the National Retirement Planning Coalition. “Having income-producing insurance products as part of that retirement preparedness can be especially important,” Commissioner Selzer said. Below is a list of insurance products that could be considered in retirement strategies when a stream of retirement income is important. • Variable annuities with guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits - Long-term, tax-deferred insurance products that contain both investment and insurance components with optional guaranteed withdrawal bene-
fits. • Fixed and fixed index annuities - Long-term, tax-deferred insurance vehicles which offer a guaranteed minimum interest rate. • Single premium immediate annuities - Products which provide a guaranteed income for life or a specified period in exchange for a one-time lump sum payment. • Deferred income annuities - Annuities which provide for guaranteed income but don’t begin until a specified age, such as 80 or 85. The Securities Commissioner and Insurance Commissioner have partnered with other state agencies to create www.KansasMoney .gov, a new one-stop Web site for all of the financial resources Kansans may need. Retirement is a key topic covered on the Web site. Kansans can take the free Kansas Financial Learning Center online course, containing modules that only take between two to ten minutes each. Throughout the month of April, Kansans are encouraged to take at least five modules to be entered to win an iPad mini. “Retirement 101 is one of the modules users can take through the Kansas Financial Learning Center,” said Commissioner Ney. “We would like to encourage all Kansans to visit Kansas Money.gov this month to learn more about retirement planning best practices and ways to increase your financial IQ.”
Insight
Every day nearly 10,000 Baby Boomers enter their retirement years, according to the Insured Retirement Institute (IRI). Whatever a person’s insurance needs are for retirement years, periodic consultation with an insurance agent and financial adviser is important, the commissioners said. More about insurance needs in retirement is available by reading the KID booklet “Life Insurance and Annuity Basics,” which can be obtained by printing a copy from the KID website, www.ksinsurance.org; by talking to a KID Consumer Assistance Representative at 1-800-432-2484; or by going to the IRI Web site, www.IRIonline.org. The Kansas Insurance Department, established in 1871, assists and educates consumers, regulates and reviews companies, and licenses agents selling insurance products in the state. More about the department is online at www.ksinsurance.org or at www.face book.com/kansasinsurance department. The Office of the Kansas Securities Commissioner exists to protect and inform Kansas investors; promote integrity, fairness, and full disclosure in financial services; and to foster capital formation.

Worry Less Worry affects the circulation, the heart, the glands, the whole nervous system. “I have never known a man who died from overwork, but many who died from doubt.” Dr. Charles H. Mayo Worry has been labeled the root of all evil. It has also been linked to farm accidents. Worrying about finances, weather or personal problems while operating powerful farm equipment places farmers at risk. When a farmer loses his or her concentration on the task at hand, or makes hasty decisions in anger, accidents can happen. Numerous professionals and friends can help people with stress. The key is to seek help. While it has been suggested over and over again, communication remains a key to reducing stress. If you are concerned about finances, you may want to visit your banker. You may also want to talk to family members. Remember, you don’t have to share exact figures, just some of your major concerns. The important thing is to keep communication lines open. Another method to fight stress includes renewed involvement in church, school and community. This helps expand a person’s sense of purpose and self-esteem. Approaching tasks and challenges early with and “I can” and “I care” attitude can also help alleviate stress. If a person tackles a problem bogged down with doubt, the results can be less than favorable. It is important to develop and keep a positive outlook. Short breaks or vacations from farming and ranching can offer a fresh perspective and help producers ease stressful situations. Agricultural tours and field days can
provide farmers with such opportunities. Even if the break is for a couple hours, or better yet, a short weekend, this time away from the routine can often relieve some tension and clear the mind. Participating in a farm or commodity organization may also provide relief from the day-to-day challenges facing farmers and ranchers. Serving on committees you believe in while cultivating relationships with like-minded people can also alleviate consternation. Scheduling a yearly physical is also a good way to reduce stress. Going to a family doctor and receiving a clean bill of health can work wonders for a person’s peace of mind. Eating healthy can help prevent illnesses and result in better decision making. People always feel better about themselves when they exercise discipline and eat right. Remember, set realistic goals for yourself, family, land and livestock. Allow enough time for a restful night’s sleep and make quality time for your family and yourself. The amount of time spent on tasks is not important if the end result is not productive. Most farmers and ranchers know when to let up physically, but they may not recognize how mental strain can take its toll. Keep the communication lines open with your family and friends. You will be safer and healthier in the long run. John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas. Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas, his writing reflects a lifetime of experience, knowledge and passion.

Stormchasers win Stars and Stripes tourney
The Stevens County Storm Chasers competed in the Stars and Stripes 13 and under baseball tournament May 21 and 22. The first game was against Larned Saturday with Chay Burnett on the mound. The team won, beating Larned 7-5. The second game was against the KS Rockets, a team from Hoisington. Storm Chasers beat them 4-1 with Riggs
Martin on the mound. Sunday, the team entered bracket play and played the Pratt Young Guns, beating them 7-3 with Gerardo Garcia on the mound. Winning that third game put them into the championship game to play the KS Rockets team again. The Storm Chasers played well and beat them 84 with Cody Perez starting on the mound and Jayce Korf
closing the game. The boys played very well, committing very few errors. The team was also short on the bench, playing with only nine boys all weekend. Their next tournament will be in Dodge City June 11 and 12. Very much appreciated are all of their sponsors for making it possible for them to travel and play ball.

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS

By Rich Fowler Social Security Operations Supervisor in Dodge City SOCIAL SECURITY SUPPORTS NATIONAL CANCER SURVIVORS DAY In 2016, more than a million people will be diagnosed with cancer around the world. This alarming statistic affects people and families everywhere. On June 5, 2016, we observe National Cancer Survivors Day in the United States. In support of this day, Social Security encourages getting checkups to provide early detection, raise awareness through education, and recognize the survivors who have gone through this battle or are still living with the disease. Social Security stands strong in our support of the fight against cancer. We offer services to patients dealing with this disease through our disability program and our Compassionate Allowances program. Compassionate Allowances are cases with medical conditions so severe they obviously meet Social Security’s disability standards, allowing us to process the cases quickly with minimal medical informa-

tion. Many cancers are on our Compassionate Allowance list. There’s no special application or form you need to submit for Compassionate Allowances. Simply apply for disability benefits using the standard Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) application. Once we identify you as having a Compassionate Allowances condition, we’ll expedite your disability application. Social Security establishes new Compassionate Allowances conditions using information received at public
outreach hearings, from the Social Security and Disability Determination Services communities, from medical and scientific experts, and from data based on our research. For more information about Compassionate Allowances, including the list of eligible conditions, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/ compassion ateallowances. If you think you qualify for disability benefits based on a Compassionate Allowances condition, please visit www.so cialsecurity.gov to apply for benefits.

“Notes From Nancy” by Stevens County FACS Agent Nancy Honig
Prepare Children for Camp It is June. For myself and for many of your children, that may mean they are on their way to camp. It may be church camp, 4-H or Scout camp, or a specialty camp for music or sports. For many children, it is the highlight of the summer. The camp experience can be one of the most profound experiences a child can have for a variety of reasons, and it is a viable way of letting the child become who they want to be by experiencing new and exciting challenges. A study by the American Camp Association showed children who attend camp become more willing to try new things, grow more independent, develop social skills, become more confident, and gain a greater sense of self-worth. While most children are excited about going to camp, some can be nervous or scared, especially if it is their first experience with being away from home for some time. Young children may benefit from attending a day camp before they’re ready to spend the night away from home. Also, if a child is nervous about spending a few nights away from home, parents can
help ease his or her worries by taking a weekend road trip, if possible, to tour the camp. This allows them to become familiar with the territory, and gives them a chance to see how much other kids enjoy the camp. It’s important to let the child know that “missing home” is normal. To ease the separation it can be beneficial to practice short stays away from home, such as spending the night with a friend or a weekend with grandparents. You may also see if the camp allows you to send mail to your child while at camp. You may even have to mail it several days before they leave so that is arrives on time, but it can be very reassuring and affirming for a camper to receive mail from their family while at camp. To prepare a child for camp, parents can include him or her in the decision process of choosing a camp, and share their own childhood camp experiences. Tell the child about the fun activities he or she will get to participate in, and also about the new friends they’ll make. After choosing a camp, parents should ask if the camp has a checklist of items that campers need to bring,
and whether campers will need to bring money for snacks or souvenirs. Parents should help their child pack to make sure nothing is forgotten. It is important to mark things well with the child´s name, as it often becomes hard to determine what belongs to each camper, and your child may not remember the clothes or items they brought with them, especially if you packed it. If the camp has additional fees for snacks or crafts you also may consider placing money in an envelope with the child’s name and camp group on it. Parents can ask the group’s counselor or an adult to hold onto the money until their child needs it. Be careful about sending lots of extra snacks for your child. Camps typically have more than enough food for your child at meal time, and sending lots of extra snacks is more likely to result in an upset stomach, something your child doesn’t need at camp. Also, do not sent valuable items such as ipods, tablets, phone, or jewelry. These items should be left at home so they are not stolen or broken at camp. Unless you and your child are ok with never seeing an item again, don’t send it. The great thing about the camp experience is it provides a variety of learning opportunities, including learning how to live with others, share space and cooperate. This allows children the opportunity to develop more independence and learn new skills, but in a safe environment with a responsible counselor. So if you are sending your child off to camp this summer, recognize that it is a great opportunity for both of you to grow!

The lowest gasoline prices in 11 years are greeting motorists hitting the road this summer," said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy. "Not only gasoline prices, but diesel too. In fact, every single state in the nation is seeing lower gasoline and diesel prices than where we started summer last yearboth of which currently average $2.32 per gallon. Going forward, much of the country will spend much of the summer in the twos for both gasoline and diesel. Prices in the biggest cities: New York, Los Angeles and Chicago could break $3/gallon at some stations, but the bigger the city, the more motorists stand to save by shopping for the lowest prices," DeHaan added.

RHS girls participate at State Five girls from the Rolla High School track team participated in the State track meet Friday, May 27 and Saturday, May 28 in Wichita. Senior NeNe Green, junior Teagan Simmons, sophomores Allyson Norton and TreTre Cooper and freshman Cacee Milburn as alternate, broke the school record for the 4x100 meter relay at the Regional track meet, qualifying them for the State meet. The girls were seeded as number four and walked away with the fourth place medal. TreTre Cooper qualified in long jump, the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter
dash. She won sixth place in the 100 meter, seventh place in the 200 meter and eleventh in the long jump, on top of the 4x100 meter relay. Teagan Simmons ran the prelims for the 100 meter hurdles but didn’t finish in the top eight to run finals. She ran the 300 meter hurdles and won sixth in the finals, earning her way to the stand again. This team has had a great season and walked away twentieth overall at the State meet. Great job to the team and the coaches, Zeta Greene, Cassie Thrall, Christy Littlefield and Michael Edmondson. Rolla is proud of you!
Anthem. The Honor Guard then honored a civil war hero, Elisha Stewart, buried in Richfield’s cemetery. The Guard solemnly raised the flag from half staff and after a salute from the Guard, Taps was played by the lone trumpet player. Both services were beautifully done and were great tributes to our fallen heroes.

RHS students host Friday night Certification Party Kansas schools have adopted the Microsoft Imagine Academy and students are getting excited. So excited, in fact, that some students at Rolla High School in Rolla spent a Friday night working to get perfect scores on the Microsoft Office Specialist certification exams. Rolla High School teacher Traci Taylor has awarded 75 certifications to 38 students this year. These three students in particular – Preston Burrows, Kaberlin Hull and Oscar Silva – encouraged each other to achieve perfect scores so they devoted three hours on a Friday night to testing at school. They were each able to achieve a perfect MOS score and plan to compete at the MOS U.S. National Championship in June. Hard work pays off! Logan Staab, state coordinator for Microsoft Image Academy grant states, “The Microsoft Imagine Academy and the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification is funded by appropriation from the Kansas legislature for
secondary students and grants from the Kansas Board of Regents support postsecondary testing and certifications. This program allows secondary and postsecondary students to earn a technical credential while still in school thus making their transfer into the workforce easier or to embark on higher education offerings. Rolla High School has done an incredible job this school year and earned first and second place rankings for Word 2013, first place ranking for Excel 2013 and first place ranking for PowerPoint 2013 in the Kansas MOS Championship Spring Qualifier hosted by Certiport.” If you wish to donate to the Rolla High School travel expenses, you may send your donation to Rolla High School, PO Box 167, Rolla, KS 67954 or drop it off Monday through Thursday at the high school office.

A good sized crowd gathered to listen as Mrs. Mauk presented Rolla’s budget woes.
School funding discussed Kimberly Mauk, Rolla superintendent, has faced lots of trials over her two years in Rolla. The first year was just a time of adjustment but this second year has proven to be a much worse year as far as state budget goes. With the State of Kansas in serious financial problems, schools across the state are being asked to slash their already slim budgets. With that in mind, the Rolla school board and Mrs. Mauk decided to host a community meeting to try to get information to the public about the direness of Rolla’s situation. Mrs. Mauk chose to begin the meeting Tuesday, May 24 on a positive note, recognizing Mr. Randy Bane and Mrs. Becky Sohm for their State champion Scholars’ Bowl team. Mrs. Sohm announced the team had participated in the Quest program that was televised from Washburn University. Since the show had already been aired, Mrs. Sohm revealed Rolla was defeated in the final round by Manhattan. Mrs. Mauk then asked Mrs. Traci Taylor to share what her students had accomplished. Mrs. Taylor shared three of her freshmen, Kaberlin Hull, Preston Burrows and Oscar Silva were the Kansas State champs in the Microsoft Image Academy and have been asked to travel to Orlando to compete nationally. If they win there, they will win an all expense paid trip to compete internationally. Mrs. Mauk welcomed all who took time out of their busy schedules to attend the meeting. She informed the

community the Twentyfirst Century Grant Rolla had been using to fund Friday ARGH and summer school had not been approved for the 2016-2017 school year, causing a drop in funding of at least $80,000. Rolla has been approved for a Block Grant which will give $3852 per students based on 183 students. Some budget cuts have already been made, such as not hiring a second English teacher and combining the smaller kindergarten and first grades into one class with Mrs. Sherry Pinkley as teacher and with Miss Jarvis moving to second grade. One custodian is retiring and will not be replaced. The technology coordinator position will be eliminated and one teacher aide position was eliminated mid-January. This still leaves a budget shortfall and Mrs. Mauk was seeking suggestions from the public as to what was most important. The three areas the staff determined might be areas to cut included preschool, transportation and supplemental activities. Each person in attendance was given a yellow sticky note and asked to place it in whichever poster he/she felt was most important to the school. The results of the voting were as follows: preschool with 76 votes, supplemental activities with 71 votes and transportation with 35 votes. The general consensus of the community members who attended was the need to foster good community relations as well as better communications between the school and its patrons. Mrs. Mauk will take the information she received to the school board to determine the next steps. Community members continued to visit after the meeting was over, with their board members, each other and Mrs. Mauk. Hopefully, it’s the beginning of a new relationship.

History From The Hermes Compiled by Ruthie Winget Thursday, June 9, 2011 Raynetta Karlin celebrated fifteen years of service at Hugoton in her business of Ray’s Salon located at 306 E. Fifth Street. Ray is the daughter of Calvin and Linda May. Thursday, June 12, 1986 An explosion totally destroyed a small home at 7211/2 Polk last Friday with a minimum of injuries to those inside the structure. The structure was being repaired for a faulty water heater by owner Gerald Crane when the blast occurred. Fire Chief Mike Schechter places the blame for the incident on what was probably a leaking gas line. Although the gas was not ignited into a fire, Schechter noted that the insulation was seen to be smoldering by the firemen as they inspected the debris. Residents of the home were Robert and Kim Yarborough. Robert Yarborough suffered a broken arm as a result of the percussion from the blast. Gerald Crane, who was in the house at the time, was not seriously hurt. Thursday, June 24, 1976 Wayne Wulfemeyer recently opened his new business called Hugoton Custom Works, located at 200 E. First Street. Wulfemeyer is a former Hugoton High School
Of his Rolla experience, Henry P. Bartley wrote, “When we moved to Rolla in 1913, we could stand on the main street and look in all directions without seeing a thing but prairie.” Throughout the remainder of that second decade of the Twentieth Century, so much changed in and around Rolla, especially during the years between 1915 and 1920. Somewhat symbolically, my great-grandfather (one of the original founders of Rolla) died in May 1916. By this time, all the original founders were dying off. His ranch consisted of 27 quarters, stretching from two and a half miles north of Rolla clear down south to the Oklahoma State Line. Note: There is a map of Morton County in the Morton County

Museum in Elkhart, and the only geographic feature noted on the map where Rolla now stands is “The Stout Ranch.” Between 1915 and 1920, his two sons, Ed and Elver Stout, were putting the finishing touches on the third generation of Rolla Stouts. Elver Stout’s only son, Don, was born in May 1915, and Ed Stout’s last two of five children were Virgil Stout, born in 1916, and Pearl Stout, born in 1920. These kids and all the others of their generation would usher in “the modern era.” Far, far away from Rolla, in 1915, women began cutting their hair, or “bobbing” their hair, as they called it. It all started in 1915 with the debut of the Castle Bob, named after the celebrated

ballroom dancer Irene Castle. It only naturally followed for women’s fashions to also change. In the photos I’ve shared up to this point, we’ve noticed women wore the long, old-fashioned dresses so typical of the nineteenth century, but by 1920, those were gone. It took 20 years, but by 1920, the Twentieth Century finally arrived in Rolla. It cannot be emphasized enough that the main thing contributing to this change in Rolla was the arrival of the railroad. Prior to then, farmers were discouraged from growing crops for the general market because there was no way to get their products to market, but the railroad changed that. In 1915, the original school house opened on the south end of Main Street; also in 1915 the first bank came to Rolla. In 1916 the first grain elevator went up. Buildings began popping up all over the place, too many to list here, but by 1920, if Henry Bartley were standing in the middle of Main Street in downtown Rolla, his view of the prairie

The city is short of water at this time. There is just about enough water to keep the city going. An extra load at this time would cause a dangerous water shortage. The pool will be opened after the new well is connected and producing. Thursday, June 14, 1951 Bennie Baldwin, 14, received serious injury to his left leg when an explosive that had been placed in a pop bottle went off. Bennie had found the explosive which appeared to be part of a stick of dynamite in a culvert. He took it apart and put part of the powder in a pop bottle, then lit it. When it didn’t go off right away, he stood to get another match. Then it exploded. Pieces of glass from the bottle were embedded in his leg as much as two inches. He was treated at the Stevens County Hospital. If any readers have pictures or memories for the history page of the Hermes, please bring them in to Ruthie Winget at the Hugoton Hermes Newspaper.
would have been obscured by all the buildings around him. In 1917, Jesse Morgan, the original Santa Fe depot agent for Rolla, was replaced by the next agent, George Womach, someone who would continue this post until well into the 1920s, at which point my grandfather (on my mother’s side) would come to Rolla to represent the next wave of Rolla expansion. In 1918, WWI came to an end, and shortly thereafter “farm boys” began leaving the farms for the big city lights, giving rise to the song popular at the time, “How Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm (After They've Seen Paree)?” The lyrics, perhaps unwittingly, playfully expressed farmer’s concerns about their farm boy sons not wanting to return to farm life after experiencing the city life of European cities. Yes, Rolla was definitely going through some major changes during the time period of 1915 to 1920, just when Rolla’s next generation, the third generation, was being born.
