City Council to allow fireworks this year Hugoton City Council met in regular session Monday, June 10, at the council meeting room at city hall. Present at the meeting were City Inspector Joshua Grubbs, Outside Utilities Supervisor Paul Nordyke, Mayor Jack E. Rowden, City Clerk Thomas G. Hicks, Electrical System Supervisor Gary Rowden and Councilmen Dean Banker, Mike Eshbaugh, Dan Corpening, Shannon Crawford and Tron Stegman. Also attending the meeting were Police Chief Courtney Leslie, City Attorney Wayne R. Tate, EcoDevo Director Neal Gillespie, Hugoton Hermes reporter Ruthie Winget, Rotarian Don Trentham, Tony Hall, Kent Tennis, Connie Tennis, Israel Tennis, Wayne Titus, Ron McFarlane and Kevin White. The meeting began by discussing the Neighborhood Revitalization Plan for the public hearing. Attorney Tate informed the board the Revitalization Plan states if the owner builds a new structure or does improvements in excess of $50,000, the owner is eligible for a rebate for five years on the increased taxes the improvements generate. The plan will be effective July 1, 2013 if passed. Gillespie emphasized the Neighborhood Revitalization Plan
must be applied for at the County Appraiser before the construction begins. The board passed the motion to approve the Neighborhood Revitalization Plan. The board approved the minutes as mailed. They also approved the May Municipal Judge’s report. Attorney Tate stated $11,000 was collected during the month of May from the Municipal Judge’s office. This is the highest amount collected in a one month period ever. Joshua Grubbs reported they conducted a safety meeting last week featuring mowers, heat stress and texting while driving. Tony Hall expressed concern about the four wheelers and dirt bikes in his neighborhood on Jayhawk Street. They are going up and down the alleys as fast as they can go, turning kitties, throwing gravel and dirt everywhere, while making a very loud noise. He is concerned someone is going to get hurt. Police Chief Leslie responded patrol cars would check this area on their patrol. She stated residents who are having problems with these riders should call 544-2020 to get the police in the area quickly. Tony also reported he really liked the new driving
range recently constructed at the Forewinds Golf Course. He has heard more people are buying memberships mainly to use the driving range. He stated it is a big plus for the golf course. Wayne Titus requested for Monroe Street from Third Street to Fourth Street be blocked off by the park on June 22, 2013 from 8:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. for a church function. Wayne stated there would be around two hundred kids there that morning. The board approved the request. Don Trentham asked the council for permission to use Third Street by the park for their annual Rotary Club Duck Race on the Fourth of July. The council approved the motion for permission. Joe Holmes requested a stop sign to be erected on the corner of Eighth Street and Monroe. After some discussion, they did not act on the motion at this time. Paul Nordyke brought in bids for a front-end loader. Murphy’s Ron McFarlane brought in a bid of $121,083 and Caterpillar’s Kevin White brought in a bid of $134,250.

Hospital Board Continued from page 1 a substantial savings. The transition year was 2007 and appropriations for that year, with separate boards, were $2.11 million. After the boards merged, the appropriations in 2008 decreased to $1.8 million. Much of the savings coming from the combining of Pioneer Manor with the hospital were due to the elimination of duplication of processes such as purchase of oxygen, or laundry services. Warren Willis also stated concerns still exist about repairs to the building and landscaping and who will be responsible for the costs. Rachel Crane updated the board about Pioneer Manor. Currently Pioneer Manor has 65 residents. Larry has done an excellent job with the landscaping under current circumstances. The board discussed new residents and new employees. The board was introduced to the new Director of Nursing, Carmen Abelon. Linda Stalcup presented the hospital report. She said the imaging project was on schedule. Contractors would start taking down the room the last of June in preparation for installing the new
equipment. A walk-around was done to look at the landscaping and see the changes made. The financial report was presented by Dave Piper. Discussion followed regarding the report which will be presented to the county commissioners at the next commissioners’ meeting. The proposed budget was ap-
proved unanimously by the hospital board as presented. The ER call schedule was presented to the board. There being no new business and no business to be discussed in executive session, the board moved to adjourn. The next hospital board meeting is scheduled for July 1, 2013.

Hugoton within 60 days. Mayor Rowden brought up the subject of whether fireworks will be allowed within the city limits because of the drought. Fireworks have been banned the past two years. Stevens County does not have a fire ban in effect. After some discussion, the council agreed to allow fireworks within the city limits this year. The council voted to renew the power plant insurance with Musgrove Insurance Services, Inc. Attorney Tate explained the Kansas Dairy Ingredients temporary wastewater treatment agreement. KDI will pay $15,000 per month to the city for taking their wastewater up to 75,000 gallons per day. This agreement is good for six months. KDI has already signed the agreement and the city council voted to sign it as well. Attorney Tate then explained the KDI wastewater lagoon improvement and financing agreement. This amount is for the cost of building the lagoon. KDI’s projected cost for the city to build the lagoon is $1.524 million. KDI has already paid $300,000 leaving a balance of $1.224 million. KDI will pay 60% of the final costs including engineering fees and temporary bonds. The council voted to approve the agreement. City Clerk Hicks reported funds are rapidly depleting due to the engineering fees for the new lagoon. He asked if the council wanted to raise the sewer rates 21%. The council decided to wait another month to see if the $15,000 KDI will pay monthly will help the depleting funds. Hicks presented the 2012 electric department breakdown for the council. He then went over the city funds with the council. Police Chief Leslie brought up the issue of an Emergency Mutual Aid Agreement which needs to be upgraded. This agreement is to provide man-
power or equipment in case of disaster in surrounding communities or for surrounding communities to provide manpower to Hugoton if needed. The council approved the motion to sign this agreement. Attorney Tate asked about the lift station which is located at Second Street and Adams. Paul stated it is about 80% better than it was but it is still not perfect. The council decided to table this issue until the next meeting. Tate also brought up the annexation for the industrial park east of Hugoton. Tate reported since the property is not joined to the city property, a petition will need to be filed in this case and will have to be presented to the county commissioners. Chief Leslie reported Officer David Goetzinger is back on duty so they are short a patrol car. They all need a patrol car in case of overlapping shifts or for backup. The council passed a motion for Courtney to get two bids for a new patrol car. Mayor Rowden reported two terms on the Board of Tourism are expiring. Richard Barnes stated he did not want to extend his term and Kristin Farnum said she would continue her term. Rowden recommended Jason Teeter to replace Richard Barnes. The council voted to approve this recommendation. For the Planning Commission, Tommy Romero and Tony Stegman both agreed to stay another term. The council voted to approve these selections. With the Zoning Appeals Board, Tony Stegman will serve another term. However, Darrin Hewitt will not be able to serve another term. Mayor Rowden recommended Dennis Hageman for this term. The council voted to approve both these selections. The meeting adjourned. The next meeting will be July 8, 2013.

The Toole Legacy
Imagine what life would have been without the smile, hand wave, handshake, letter, phone call, tipping of his hat and a “Hello, how are you today?” This memory of a man standing tall and proud of his Love of the land, Love of his family and Love of his God, and dedicated his life to his fellow man.
This is the tribute to one such a man - Orval Roy Toole
r o o D e h t y b s t o Bo k c a R e h Ha t o n t t s e R o t e m o H e Gon
A Legacy of Life We are known and Loved by Life Remembered and Loved by Death Steps to Heaven Begin with and End with our steps taken on earth
God took Orval home to a place of peace and comfort, to be reunited with his family & friends who passed through the garden gates of Heaven before him. The strength of his family & friends; the legacy to be carried on by Orval’s brother Ed Toole (91 years old); son Terry Toole & wife Mary; daughter Yvonne Pierce and grand blessings of grandchildren and great grandchildren and the many other members of the Toole Family from across the fields and miles. Our love and memories of Orval as a brother, father, grandfather, uncle and friend will remain in our hearts. One takes the journey not alone in his thoughts and prayers but accompanied by the thoughts and prayers of the loved ones left. A man’s journey at its best, is one filled with knowing that his life on earth has touched so many, and many have all learned and been strengthened by his touch. Just think of all that 93 years of life has given Orval! All that he has seen! All that he has been a part of! All that he has learned! All that he has taught!
The goodness of a person Makes for the best of a Life Janet Toole 2013
One can only say Thank you for all that have offered and guided and given in your lifetime.
God Bless Written by Janet Toole, daughter-in-law of Orval’s brother Ed Toole ~ May 2013
Thank you
The family of Orval Toole would like to thank each one who expressed their sympathy with flowers, cards, memorials, visits, food and many acts of kindness.

Medicare urges Kansas seniors to join the fight against fraud Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) Secretary Shawn Sullivan wants Kansas Medicare recipients to know they will soon see a redesigned statement of their claims for services and benefits that will help them better spot potential fraud, waste and abuse. These changes are being made in an effort to make the elimination of fraud, waste and abuse in health care a top priority. “The new statement has been redesigned to make it easier for consumers to identify problems with their claims that may indicate potential fraud or other irregularities,” Secretary Sullivan said. “We are asking that consumers carefully inspect their statements to ensure that the claims match the
services and benefits they have been provided.” “The new Medicare Summary Notice gives seniors and people with disabilities accurate information on the services they receive in a simpler, clearer way,” said Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) Administrator Marilyn Tavenner. “It’s an important tool for staying informed on benefits, and for spotting potential Medicare fraud by making the claims history easier to review.” Beneficiaries in Kansas will begin receiving the new Medicare Summary Notice this month. The redesigned notice will make it easier for people with Medicare to understand their benefits, file an appeal if a claim is denied, and spot claims for services they never received. The CMS
Kansas gas prices start their way down Average retail gasoline prices in Kansas have fallen 7.5 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.63 per gallon Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 1,329 gas outlets in Kansas. This compares with the national average that has not moved in the last week to $3.64 per gallon, according to gasoline price Web site Gas Buddy.com. Including the change in gas prices in Kansas during the past week, prices Sunday were 30.6 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 6.1 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 6.9 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 7.8 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
"While the national average has seen little change in the last week, prices in the Great Lakes have skyrocketed. In many cities in that region, new all time record high prices have been set," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "In areas that have featured skyrocketing gasoline prices amidst stable oil prices, refineries continue to be beset with shutdowns, maintenance, and other problems that have hampered production of gasoline and other products, leading to much higher prices. While these situations are difficult for motorists to digest, relief is on the way and will likely arrive in a few weeks," DeHaan said. Submitted by GasBuddy.com.

and others whose tips about suspected fraud lead to the successful recovery of funds. For more information about the Medicare Summary Notice, please visit: http://bit.ly/Summary Notice. Submitted by the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services.

Drought diminishing endangered species A Kansas State University researcher is discovering the North American drought has caused dramatic changes in native fish communities. "A couple of key species that we have been studying have virtually disappeared where they historically were abundant," said Keith Gido, professor of biology who researches fish ecology and conservation of aquatic systems. Gido and his team study state and federal endangered and threatened fish species in river ecosystems, including the Arkansas, Kansas, Gila, San Juan, Red and Platte rivers. He travels to these different rivers to study imperiled species such as the Colorado pikeminnow, the loach minnow, the spikedace in New Mexico and the plains minnow and silver chub in Kansas. Before the drought, Gido's team observed more than 300 silver chub in the Ninnescah River in southern Kansas in summer 2011. In 2012, after the second consecutive year of severe drought, his team saw three silver chub during their sampling. They found zero silver chub in spring 2013. "We are in a conservation crisis," Gido said. "Our fish communities have changed dramatically and we are losing a lot of native species." Gido said two activities river fragmentation and groundwater withdrawals -
largely affect aquatic systems and native fish species in the Great Plains. When combined with the drought, these two activities result in dramatically reduced fish communities and lower species diversity. River fragmentation occurs when barriers, such as dams, break up the long sections of connected river and create shorter segments. Gido and his research team - including Joshuah Perkin, a postdoctoral researcher and 2012 Kansas State University doctoral graduate in biology, and Thomas Turner, a population geneticist at the University of New Mexico - have spent years studying how river fragmentation affects fish communities in Great Plains rivers. They are currently studying the genetic diversity of populations in different rivers and different fragment sizes. In previous research, Perkin and Gido found that river fragments less than 100 kilometers make it difficult if not impossible - for certain fish species to survive. The research appeared in the journal Fisheries. "Some fish species will release their eggs into the river and these eggs have to drift downstream for a certain distance to develop," Gido said. "They basically cannot persist in fragments less than 100 kilometers." Additionally, reservoirs and ponds behind dams often
are stocked with nonnative fish, such as largemouth bass, that can move into the stream fragments and prey on native fish. This increases the effects of shrunken rivers. "As the water levels decline, if you have a nonnative predator in the system, then the predators' effects are much stronger and have a more drastic effect on fish," Gido said. "We have seen a gradual decline in native diversity over time. The drought exacerbates any of the effects because with fragmentation, if the stream is dry and the water is lower, the fish are unable to move around a barrier." Gido said countermeasures, such as removing nonnative fish predators, may prevent more native fish from disappearing. Nonnative predator removals are currently under way in the San Juan and Gila rivers, Gido said. "It might not be something that you can do all the time, but during drought conditions it might be possible to remove predators to give native fish a chance and maintain diversity," Gido said. Maintaining diversity is important to maintain healthy river ecosystem functions, Gido said. As part of the ecosystem, fish can influence the cycling of stream and river nutrients. Streams filter nutrients that flow to rivers or other large bodies. When this balance is off, too
many nutrients can result in negative effects, such as harmful algae blooms. A lot of native species of fish also provide recreational opportunities, so there is a societal interest in conserving native fish, Gido said. "It's really a challenge because you have things like dams and nonnative sport fish that benefit society, but they have a negative effect on native fish," Gido said. "Research agencies have a challenging problem of managing these recreational opportunities but also preserving the natural diversity. We want to find more information about how this system works and how these things can coexist." Gido is involved in several additional research projects. Two projects involve western desert fish in the Colorado River system. The Bureau of Reclamation and the Great Plains Landscape Conservation Cooperative have funded the research. The researchers also are studying streams at the Konza Prairie Biological Station to understand how the presence of fish - particularly grazing minnows - influences the ecosystem. The project is part of a large-scale $3.3 million National Science Foundation grant to study stream ecosystems in Kansas, Puerto Rico, Georgia and Alaska. Submitted by Kansas State University.
Girl Scouts gratefully accept gift from Finnup Foundation Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland (GSKH) is pleased to announce the Finnup Foundation of Finney County has provided a $20,000 leadership gift to the Youth Leadership Development Program and Community Outreach in South Western Kansas. Their gift helped make it possible for Girl Scouts in the Garden City area to continue as the premier leadership organization for girls. Even though there are now more ways than ever for girls to participate in Girl Scouts, some are still not able to experience the program without additional support from the community. Girls are now given the Girl Scout Leadership Experience through program delivered by trained GSKH volunteers and staff in outreach programs in the community to deliver the Girl Scout experience. Summer Camp samplers are also available to girls who may not get to experience camp otherwise. Area partners in Finney
County include the YMCA and the Recreation Center for upcoming summer programming. “The Finnup Foundation’s generosity has made it possible for many Girl Scouts to receive all that our organization has to offer. The leaders of tomorrow are being made today right here in Kansas,” shared Regional Manager, Chandra Lay. “We are so grateful that they have expressed their confidence in us so that we can meet the needs of our girls in such an important way.” The Finnup Foundation and Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland have had a strong relationship for many years. “This gift is just as much an investment in our community as it is in our council because today’s Girl Scouts gives every girl access to lifechanging experiences that inspire her to do something big – for that we say thank you.” Chandra shared.

Motorcycle Rally Continued from page 1 Ulysses, the Walk in Waddle Out in Sublette and Antlers in Moscow. After the BBQ meal, tickets for door prizes and the 50/50 pot were drawn, followed by a successful auction of items including original artwork donated by local
artist Rob Terrill displayed in a custom frame designed, created and donated by Richard Rome. A Straight Flush won the $1,000.00 first place hand with the winner donating a generous $200.00 of his winnings back to the event. The
second place hand was won with a straight and third was won with a straight, seven high. The Eighteenth Annual Brian Lamberson Memorial Motorcycle Rally was a success thanks to the hard work of the club members and vol-
unteers, the cooperation of the owners of Barb’s Den who allowed the club access to their establishment for this event, and the very generous contributions of so many individuals and businesses.
Gleaming chrome, worn leather and a plethora of colors line the streets of Hugoton Saturday morning. It was a wonderful show of bikes waiting to take off for the Brian Lamberson Memorial Ride.
East Sixth Street was blocked off in front of Barb’s Den for the large number of beautiful bikes to park as hands of poker were being purchased, riders were registering, lunch was being enjoyed and old friendships rekindled. This gave plenty of time for
bike enthusiasts to enjoy the show of chrome and steel on display. Over 100 bikes were parked out front and no two seemed to look alike. Hugoton should be very proud of this yearly event in memory of our own little Brian Lamberson. Over 100 bikes and riders parade down Main to show their support for the Eighteenth Annual Brian Lamberson Memorial Bike Rally. They came from far and wide, some as far as Hereford, Tx. and Ogallala, Ne.

Robert Terrill’s beautiful bike creation is an ever growing project. He seems to add a little to each year. This is according to another admirer.
As usual, for the past 18 years, some beautiful bikes made their way to the Hugoton yearly fund raiser. Carol shows off a gorgeous bike; it may not be hers but she looks good on it, right?
As tradition has been for the past 18 years, Terry Lamberson leads the motorcyclists down Main and on their way to start the 160 mile route. DC Campbell rides beside Terry. These trusty steeds await their riders to get their business taken care of and start out on the 160 mile ride in the nice near 100° weather Saturday.
A group of Dust Bowl Riders are putting up the panels in readiness for the bike rally at Barb’s Den Saturday.
The lady Dust Bowl Riders prepare for the riders to be able to register as they come in. The registration process began at noon Saturday before the delicious BBQ lunch started.
Many many wonderful items were donated for the door prizes and auction that took place for the Brian Lamberson Memorial Motorcycle Rally. Registration started at noon Saturday. Over 100 riders signed in for the bike ride and 190 hands of poker
were purchased. The first place hand garnered that lucky person $1000.00! Stormy skies threatened the riders later in the day but nothing came of it except a little wind, and, ya gotta have wind.

“Notes From Nancy” by Stevens County FACS Agent Nancy Honig
National Festival of Breads After weeks of analyzing recipes, kneading, mixing, baking and tasting, a panel of judges has selected the recipes that will be represented in the Third National Festival of Breads June 22 in Manhattan. I have attended the previous two festivals, and it´s a fun and educational event. Cindy Falk, nutrition educator for the Kansas Wheat Commission and chairwoman of the National Festival of Breads, said the recipes to be made by the eight adult and one youth finalists will represent an array of trends and flavor profiles. "Finalists in the 2013 National Festival of Breads have risen to the challenge of submitting creative, flavorful recipes that feature the latest in baking styles," Falk said recently. "We look forward to meeting these contestants in Kansas this summer when they participate in the National Festival of Breads." This event will take place Saturday, June 22, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Manhattan; there is no cost to attend. There will be a number of promotional booths from food related vendors, including festival sponsors Kansas Wheat Commission, Fleischman Yeast, and King Arthur Flour. The event will also feature a variety of educators who will update people on the latest baking techniques and equipment. Topics include: Breads 101 and More; Ancient Flat Breads; Baking with
Whole Grains; and Italian Breads. The contestants will be set up so that the public can watch (and smell!) them preparing their breads. Unfortunately, only the judges will taste the breads, but everyone gets the recipes! If you are interested in the recipes for the two previous biennial festivals go to www.americasbreadbasket.com/. Here you will find details of the contest and recipes. Here is the recipe of my favorite bread, the winner from 2009. Tomato, Basil, and Garlic Filled Pane Bianco 1/2 cup warm water (100°110°F) 1/4 cup granulated sugar 4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1 cup warm low-fat milk (100˚110˚) 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons salt 5 to 5-1/2 cups Unbleached Bread Flour 1 (8.5-ounce) jar oil-packed sundried tomatoes, well-drained 3/4 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder 1-1/2 cups shredded Italian blended cheese, divided 2/3 cup chopped fresh basil 1. In a small bowl, add warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir and let sit 10 minutes. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add milk, oil, yeast mixture, eggs, and salt. Mix until well combined, about 2 minutes.
2. Stir in enough of the flour to make a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface or with a dough hook 6 to 8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl, turn to grease top. Cover, let rise in a warm place until double, about 45 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, thoroughly drain sun dried tomatoes; lay on paper towel to absorb moisture. Using kitchen shears, finely chop tomatoes. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. 4. Punch down dough, divide in half. Roll one piece into a 22 x 8-1/2 inch rectangle. Sprinkle on half of the garlic, cheese, basil, and tomatoes. Starting with 22inch side, roll up (jelly-roll fashion) tightly. Pinch edges to seal. Place roll seam-side-down on baking sheet. With scissors, cut lengthwise down center of roll, about 1-inch deep to within 1/2 inch of the ends. Keeping cut-side up, form an "S" shape. Tuck both ends under center of "S" to form a "figure eight"; pinch ends to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough. 5. Cover; let rise in a warm place until double, 45 to 60 minutes. 6. Bake first loaf in a preheated 350°F oven 35 to 40 minutes. Tent loaf with foil after 15 to 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning. Bake second loaf. Makes two wonderful loaves, 20 slices each!
Baker Arts invites the public to have a blast
Come join the fun at the Baker Backyard Blast – “Art for your Ears” Friday June 14, at 5:30 p.m. at the Baker Arts Center. The fun extravaganza will get underway with a BBQ meal of hamburgers, hotdogs, beans, potato salad, dessert and drink which is provided free to new and renewing members. There is a fee for the meal for the general public. Entertainment features include local entertainers of Spanish Dancers, Jerod Ratsliff, CJ Wettstein, Yahaida Zubia, Alisa Henderson and Lydia Augustine, Tabitha Barnett and Obadiah Barnett. Comedian Sam Adams from Parker, Co. will be a feature of the night. Do not confuse him for being the guy on the beer bottle label, okay? This Sam Adams stepped in front of a microphone to perform stand-up comedy for the first time at age 41. Eight years later, the former awardwinning sports journalist changed careers after winning at the 2009 Great American Comedy Festival. For the record, Sam Adams is a club and corporate event headliner who has performed on stages in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Boston and New York, as well as fabled Colorado venues Red Rocks Amphitheater and Para-
mount Theater. He's also shared stage time with an eclectic, genre-jumping list of national touring comedians and music recording artists.
Sam Adams Denver Business Journal once gave him a favorable review for “bringing down the house with a string of well-delivered lines that were notable for their lack of profanity, scatological or sexual references.” (Sam was pleased by the review – especially after learning the definition of scatological!) Off the record, Sam Adams left his job as an office clerk in 1990 to pursue work as a sports writer. During a career that lasted 23 years, he established himself as one of Denver's premier sports journalists – voted by his peers as Colorado's “Print Journalist of the Year” in
2003. His work has appeared in print and video for The Denver Post, The Charlotte Observer, Rocky Mountain News and AvidGolfer magazine. Adam’s resume also includes television appearances on ESPN, Fox Sports, CBS and NFL Network. He has authored a book featuring highlights from his career in sports journalism titled, 'If You Don't Believe Me: Lessons Learned From Listening To The Greats.' Smooth. Clever. Clean. Colorful. Hilarious. These words are often used to describe Sam Adams on stage. He gives a performance you do not want to miss! Kids activities at the “big blast” include face painting, balloon animals, jump for fun, ice sculptures, bubbles, ring toss, and the Oz train. The Police Deptartment, Fire Department, Sheriff Department and Girl Scouts will be participating. There will be a Donation Drawing to the Great Wolf Lodge for two nights stay. For ticket information, contact Baker Arts Center. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets for fun and entertainment in the backyard of Baker Arts Center at 624 N. Pershing Avenue in Liberal.

MOSCOW NEWS by Sara Cross
Town meeting for concerned Moscow citizens Spent, stressed and slightly smoky, citizens of Moscow and the surrounding area silently filed into the Moscow High School Gym last Thursday evening. They came to hear from Moscow city officials, Abengoa representatives and Stevens County Law Enforcement Of-
ficers concerning the recent horrendous fire that brought so much loss and misery to the town of Moscow, its citizens and emergency personnel. Sara Cross reported the meeting consisted of the Abengoa representative Tom Robb who informed the com-
munity Abengoa is reevaluating their plan of stacking the hay bales so close to town. They will abide by all the rules and regulations to stack the bales but are reevaluating their strategy of putting more in the same spot. This will also apply to the rows northeast of Moscow.

Congressman Steve Alford summarizes 2013 legislative session With the passage of more than 150 bills, the 2013 legislative session came to an end early on June 2. After a full day of debate and compromise, the Governor, House and Senate agreed to a tax plan and budget. May Tax Receipts The state received some good news in the monthly tax receipt report. The revenue department announced receipts were 12.7% higher than projections or $65.9 million. This is welcome news as the state begins its next fiscal year July 1st. The additional revenue was reported in the individual income tax and sales tax
categories. Income tax receipts were 23.2% higher which generated 58.9 million in additional income. So far this year state tax receipts have been 1.1% higher than estimates. Twice a year the state makes revenue estimates to assist policy makers in their decision making. This is conducted by the Consensus Revenue Estimating Group. The group consists of an economist from the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, and Wichita State University, along with the Secretary of Revenue, Director of Legislative Research and Direc-
tor of the Budget. State’s Economic Development Recognized Kansas won the “Gold Shovel” award last week for outstanding economic development projects in the state in 2012. Kansas was ranked the highest in our population tier in recognition of our value added investments. Kansas Department of Commerce facilitated 164 projects in 2012 resulting in $2.3 billion of investment. The Annual Shovel awards analyze a state’s innovative policies, infrastructure improvements, processes and promotions that attract new
employers as well as investments in expanded facilities. In the analysis of Kansas, the awards board noted how the projects Kansas invests in were diversified across a wide swath of the economy which makes the best economic policy. The other states to join Kansas in winning in their population tier included Texas, Alabama and Georgia. Budget The one constitutional duty of the legislature each session is to pass a budget for the state. On June 1, the House fulfilled this duty by passing a budget that makes the government more ef-
KDHE launches online exercise and wellness program The Kansas Department of Health and Environment announced last week that a new, online exercise and wellness program will kick off July 1. The program is called “Move Across Kansas”, and it will be available to anyone interested in tracking their exercise time and fitness level year-round. “Move Across Kansas” allows the participant to track his or her progress on a map, or route, simulating a tour across the state. A new route will be available each month, with each route displaying various points of interest along the trail. “Move Across Kansas” is modeled after the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas employee wellness program of the same name. “To maximize a fitness program, it’s recommended that
adults obtain at least 30 minutes of physical activity five days a week. This program application we’ve developed will hopefully offer Kansans an interesting means to that end. The online, virtual routes within Move Across Kansas encourage participants to maintain an exercise routine while learning more about the state in which they live,” said Robert Moser, M.D., KDHE Secretary and State Health Officer. “Move Across Kansas” is launching on the heels of the Governor’s Weight Loss Challenge, which had 5,000 participants and resulted in more than 44,400 pounds of total weight lost between January and May. “Move Across Kansas” can assist those who participated in the Governor’s Weight Loss Challenge with

ficient and leaves the state fiscally sound. Unlike previous sessions where it has been the norm to pass just a one year budget, the legislature passed a two year budget which includes appropriations for FY 2014 and FY 2015 in an effort to better address budget challenges up front. The budget cuts an additional $104 million from the governor’s two year budget recommendation, totaling a reduction in State General Fund (SGF) expenditures of $198.7 million over two years. Through responsible budgeting practices, such as deleting funding for state government jobs that have been vacant for a sustained period of time, the budget found necessary savings. This diligence for finding waste throughout state government allowed for the avoidance of cutting core state services, such as K-12 education. Less than three years ago, the state had only $876.05 in the bank. In comparison, this new two year budget leaves the state with an ending balance of $515.6 million in FY 2014 and $331.5 million in FY 2015. Throughout the session, the House has emphasized the need to cut spending in order to help spur economic growth and many reductions proposed by the House were included in this budget. Because of the fiscal responsibility of the House and Senate, the state will maintain a healthy ending balance over the next two years even as income tax revenues drop due to the newly passed tax legislation. The House passed SB 171 on Saturday, June 1st by a vote of 63-51. Tax Plan Last week the House finalized negotiations with the Senate on pro-growth tax legislation. The plan agreed to by House and Senate negotiators, coupled with the income tax reduction of last year, provides Kansans with $3.86 billion in tax relief over the next 5 years. With the passage of the agreed upon legislation, Kansans will receive both sales and income tax relief. The state sales tax rate will drop from 6.3 percent to 6.15 percent on July 1st. State revenue received from the sales tax will be used to continue a buy down of income rates, dropping the bottom
bracket from 3.0 percent to 2.7 percent and the top rate from 4.9 percent to 4.8 percent in 2014. By 2018, income tax rates will drop in the bottom bracket to 2.3 percent and in the top bracket to 3.9 percent. The tax bill originally passed by the House contained a 2 percent growth in revenue trigger so that as revenues grow above 2 percent from the previous year, the excess funds would be used to continue to buy down income tax rates. This trigger was included in the compromise bill and will kick in beginning in 2018 to ensure that extra revenue is not used for growing government, but rather for further reducing the tax burden on Kansans. The final legislation takes another House position by not eliminating itemized income tax deductions in their entirety to pay for rate reductions. Rather, itemized deductions receive a gradual haircut from the 100 percent deductibility down to 50 percent deductibility in 2017 except for charitable, which remains 100 percent deductible. At the beginning of the session, in his State of the State Address, the governor urged the legislature to ensure that Kansas remains on a glide path to zero state income tax. Until last year’s tax reform, Kansas had the highest income tax rate any of its surrounding states, which led to a decade of lost jobs. In contrast, 48 percent of all job growth in the United States between 2001 and 2010 occurred in the 9 states with no income tax. The House and the Senate share the governor’s commitment to turning the tide in Kansas and this new tax legislation is another significant step in so doing. The House passed HB 2059 on Sunday, June 2nd by a vote of 69-45. With the session over, I am back home in Ulysses and my state phone number will not be answered. I encourage you to continue to contact me via email j.stephenalford@yahoo.com or at home at 620-356-1361 It has been an honor to serve you this session. If you need any assistance in the off session please don’t hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to assist you. Sincerely J. Stephen Alford

There was no unfinished business. Under new business there was a motion to donate $100 to the Moscow Fire Relief Fund. The motion was seconded. The vote was passed. Also, the club talked about some leadership opportunities for record books. Grace Dillinger gave a project talk about her bucket calf. Conner Wells gave a project talk about shooting a shotgun. Hunter Kerbow gave a talk about Discovery Days at Manhattan. Jacob Bell gave a project talk about Angus Cattle. Recreation was led by the Gooch Family. The club
played a shoe relay race. The game is where you take off your shoes and put them in a pile and run to the pile and put them on and run back. Vice President Nick Gold read next month’s meeting overview. There was a motion to adjourn the meeting. The motion was seconded and carried. The meeting was adjourned. Setup, refreshments and cleanup were done by the Hinds family. The Fair Parade Float committee had a short meeting to design the float for the fair parade after the regular meeting.

Local Work Groups The Natural Resources Conservation Service [NRCS] will host a Local Work Group (LWG) meeting Thursday, June 20, 2013. The meeting will be at 10:00 a.m. at USDA Service Center, 607 East Eleventh St., Hugoton. The purpose of this meeting is to make recommendations for Farm Bill Programs: • Resource concerns to be addressed • Eligible practices to be offered • Payment rates (e.g., 50 percent or 75 percent cost share) • Ranking criteria to be considered • Any other concerns “LWGs are important, because they provide recommendations on local and state natural resource priorities and criteria for U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) conservation activities and programs to the NRCS Kansas Technical Committee (KTC),” said Keri Morris, SDC-Hugoton Mgt Unit. Responsibilities of LWGs The responsibilities of the LWGs are identified in the USDA Conservation Program Delivery Manual. The LWGs recommendations will be reviewed by the KTC for submittal to USDA agencies. Ensure a conservation needs assessment to identify priority resource concerns is developed using community stakeholder input and use the conservation needs as-
sessment to help identify program funding needs and conservation practices. Recommend the USDA conservation program application and funding criteria, eligible practices (including limits on practice payments or units), and payment rates. Assist the NRCS and CCDs with public outreach and information efforts, and identify educational and producers' training needs. Membership of LWGs According to Eric Banks the LWGs should be diverse and focus on agricultural interests and natural resource issues existing in the community. Membership should include agricultural producers representing the variety of crops, livestock and poultry raised within the local area; owners of nonindustrial private forest land, representatives of agricultural and environmental organizations; and governmental agencies carrying out agricultural and natural resource conservation and activities. LWGs also take into account concerns of particular historically underserved groups and individuals including, but not limited to women, persons with disabilities, socially disadvantaged and limited resource groups. For more information about LWGs, or to become a member, contact your local SCCD office or NRCS staff at the USDA Service Center, 607 East Eleventh in Hugoton.

U.S. Senator Jerry Moran discusses newly passed Farm Bill “The legislation puts vital risk management tools and conservation programs back in place, providing farmers and ranchers with the longterm certainty they need to produce food, fiber and fuel for our country and the world.” Monday, U.S. Senator Jerry Moran released the following statement upon passage of the U.S. Senate Farm Bill: “The Farm Bill passed in the Senate meets the two benchmarks most important

to Kansas farmers and ranchers: strong, stable crop insurance and disaster programs to provide livestock producers with confidence when faced with Mother Nature’s uncertainty. The legislation puts vital risk management tools and conservation programs back in place, providing farmers and ranchers with the long-term certainty they need to produce food, fiber and fuel for our country and the world. While I prefer the Farm Bill that passed a year ago,
Administration lowers indebtedness The State of Kansas paid off its $400 million Certificate of Indebtedness for Fiscal Year 2013 Friday. The state issues an annual certificate to help manage its cash flow during the fiscal year when expenditures and obligations outweigh revenue. “Our work to reestablish a responsible ending balance has allowed the Brownback administration to lower the amount of certificates issued
the new bill’s passage will help to reduce our swelling national debt by reforming costly programs, and gives farmers and ranchers the tools necessary to make certain the United States remains the most food secure country in the world.” The Farm Bill passed the Senate by a vote of 66 to 27. The Senate Farm Bill saves $24 billion and will impact a myriad of food related programs over the next decade including food stamps and nutrition, commodity programs, crop insurance, conservation, trade and energy.
Sen. Moran offered a budget neutral amendment to the Farm Bill, amendment #987, which was approved and directs the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) to conduct research and development regarding a policy to insure alfalfa. Amendment #987 will give animal agriculture less expensive inputs and allow farms to diversify their production. Additionally, consumers will be provided with a less expensive and more abundant food supply. Submitted by the Office of Senator Jerry Moran.
the last two fiscal years as well as for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2014,” Budget Director Steve Anderson said. FY 2013 was the fourteenth straight year the state has issued a certificate. During the Brownback administration, the size of the annual Certificate of Indebtedness has decreased by $300 million. Submitted by the Office of Governor Sam Brownback.
