See inner workings of KDI and MasCow Dairy Kansas Dairy Ingredients (KDI), along with MasCow Dairy Farm, is hosting an Open House Saturday, June 29, 2013 from 9:00 a.m. till 12:00 p.m. The milk processing plant has created much interest in the community, region and state and is

planning for a large turnout (~500 people) to the event.

The public is invited to attend the upcoming open house to learn more about the farm, the milk plant, taste some great dairy foods and enjoy visiting with friends and neigh-

Donate blood Thursday, June 27 at Stevens County Fairgrounds Summer is a time for the days that never end. Time for diving in and grilling out.

Time to watch fireworks, to have a picnic, to root for the home team. While many have fun making these memories, hospital patients are counting on eligible donors to make time to give blood or platelets so they can continue making and sharing their own summer memories.B e sure to attend the blood drive in Hugoton Thursday, June 27 from 12:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Stevens County Fairgrounds.

The American Red Cross asks all eligible blood and platelet donors to join the campaign, which runs through September 9.

Through Summer of Stories, the organization hopes to en-

If you happen to see Richard Barnes around town, tell him THANK YOU for helping to bring this week’s issue of The Hermes to the printer.

He graciously came in Tuesday at the 11th hour to replace The Hermes’ router to get us hooked back up to cyberspace.

courage at least two more donors to give blood at every Red Cross blood drive this summer - above what’s expected - to help ensure lifesaving blood products are available at a moment’s notice.

Historically, during the summer months of June, July and August, about two fewer donors give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what patients need.

But, this seasonal challenge can be overcome two generous donors at a time, at every blood drive, every day.

Throughout the campaign, donors will be encouraged to give blood or platelets regularly, especially around summer holidays, when donations tend to drop even more. To support summer holiday donations, all donors who present to give during specified time frames will be entered for a chance to win an American Express gift card.

Live a story. Give a story.

Donate blood or platelets.

Visit redcrossblood.org/summer or call 1-800-RED CROSS for more information and to make an appointment to help save lives this summer.

bors. Tours of KDI and MasCow Dairy will be offered throughout the morning. Guests are welcome to gather under the tent, enjoy a dairy snack and learn more about the “farm to family” process of milk production. Lunch, catered by Oklahoma Smoke BBQ, will be served from 11:00 a.m. till 12:00 p.m.

Construction on KDI began in August 2012 and was completed eight months later. The plant began receiving milk in mid-April 2013 and was running at full capacity a few weeks later.

Farm-fresh raw milk from area dairy farms is received by KDI. Once received, the milk is concentrated by removing some of the water. The concentrated milk is shipped to customers, cheese makers and powdered milk plants.

Concentrating the milk

allows for more efficient transportation to customers. In addition, the water removed from the milk is recycled to irrigate local farm crops – adding to the environment sustainability.

Kraft Foods, one of KDI’s main customers, uses the milk it buys to make Kraft Singles and Velveeta cheese.

One of the dairy farms shipping milk to KDI is MasCow Dairy. The farm is only 12 miles from KDI, creating efficiency in transportation costs for the farm and plant.

The Hermes goes to Tangier Africa June 20 with the Morelands, Isaac and Felicia. The group toured Tangier three days. They got to see the Kings castle and Malcolm Forbes home. They had a traditional lunch which included drink, soup, kabobs, bread and chicken with couscous. Oh to be a world away, and not speak the language. It is nice to travel but can’t wait to be home in HUGOTON.

FSA County Committee Chairman requests local support Dear Editor, As current chairman of the FSA County Committee for Stevens County, I was recently invited, along with all other chairpersons in the country to listen in on a conference from Ag Secretary Vilsack regarding immigration.

There is a Senate bill, S744, to be voted on hopefully before the July 4 break, that would allow for illegal workers to have a path to achieve legal work status and after many years of working toward their goal if they want to achieve citizenship. This is NOT amnesty.

Bryne Sullins Also included are provisions for better and tighter security on the Mexican Border.

The Secretary pointed out that agriculture and related industries, have the highest stake in this of any sector of the economy. Ag exports also lead all other industries in exports as well.

Secretary Vilsack asked for us to ask on the local level for all the support

from our communities. I personally agree with him. Our local economy would collapse without sufficient help to plant and grow crops, milk cows, receive and feed cattle, process beef and pork, and work the hog farms, and on down the list. Please contact our Senators, and when it comes before the House, our Representatives, and voice your desire for them to vote in favor of this bill.

VFW & American Legion members needed to make important decisions Dear Editor, Monday, July 15, 2013 at 7:30 p.m., VFW Post 5391 and American Legion Post 150 will have a members and auxiliaries meeting at the VFW building, located at 300 Monroe, Hugoton, Ks. This meeting will be held for members only.

The purpose of this meeting will be the discussion of moving the VFW membership of Post 5391 and joining forces with the VFW Post at Liberal Ks. All VFW members of 5391 as well as all members of The American Legion Post 150 and all Auxiliaries are urged to attend. The meeting will involve a round table discussion with all members present.

Kansas VFW districts continue to deal with a declining aged membership, the absence of an active functioning membership and lack of interest. This combination has ini-

The VFW Membership Committee tiated small VFW and American Legion Posts to shut down and join forces with larger community Posts. VFW Posts across the country, especially in the Western region of the United States have closed and combined their memberships to maintain VFW operations. Many of our small posts in Kansas have had to close for this very reason. Our Hugoton VFW and American Legion is not immune. Our Post is following in the footsteps of our fellow comrades. We too, are experiencing the lack of volunteerism, servitude and membership.

In the past, and even at present, our Hugoton VFW Post has relied upon civic donations and grants to maintain and operate our facility.

We are humbled and our members are forever grateful for those who have so generously supported us with contributions. In all humility, we are also well aware this cannot continue.

More and more activities involving our children, schools, church, our jobs, entertainment and other entities dictate the absence of VFW dedication and servitude. Hugoton is simply one of many VFW’s affected nationwide.

America has certainly changed, right or wrong. A societal change if you will and we must realize a different direction is needed to maintain our VFW’s.

Be that as it may, it must be noted our objective is not to abandon, but ban together for

the greater good. It is understood our mission as VFW and American Legion members and auxiliaries, is to serve our community and support our Veterans and their families.

We will continue to do so.

Our State VFW District Officers have suggested a members meeting between all of our members to discuss the combining of membership forces with the Liberal VFW. It must be noted however, this meeting does not involve the VFW building as it belongs to the Hugoton Vets Group.

The building and property will be discussed at a different meeting with the Hugoton Vets Group.

Your VFW 5391 officers suggest all active members attend this very important round table discussion.

Lloyd was the oldest son of John Newton Jones, the only child of E. Lucille Thomas Jones and was chosen to be a son of Pauline Goff Beam.

He was born March 6, 1941 in Holly Creek, Ok. and grew up in Springfield, Co. Lloyd attended grade school at Springfield and high school in Keys, Ok. He later attended Panhandle State University in Goodwell, Ok. December 27, 1959, Lloyd and Patricia L. Carlton were united in marriage in Spearman, Tx. They made their home in the Guymon, Ok. area for almost 40 years.

Lloyd worked as a mechanic and service manager for Miller Motors, Langston Buick and Jim Moore Buick before opening his own mechanic shop in Guymon. He served the area people for

There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in Thy help, and in His excellency on the sky.

Deuteronomy 33:26

most of his adult working life.

The last 15 years of Lloyd’s working life was driving a truck with his wife Patsy at his side. Lloyd and Patsy moved to Hugoton in 2001 and had made it their home.

Mr. Jones attended the United Methodist Church in Hugoton until his health became an issue. Then the pastor would visit Lloyd as his spiritual leader and to cheer him up.

Those preceding Lloyd in death were his parents; brother; sisters; grandparents; uncles; and aunts.

Survivors include his wife Patricia of the home; two sons, Lloyd Jr. and wife Wanda of Newark, Ca. and Johnny and wife Kristy of Hugoton; daughter Dianna Madrid and husband Joe Fred of Colorado Springs, Co.; his five grandchildren, Brandon and wife Kristi of Alameda, Ga., Robert and wife Cassandra of Landers, Ca., Keisha Martin and husband T.P. of Wichita, Braley Singleterry and husband Trevor Bowers of Goodwell and Zachary of the home; six great grandchildren, Ethan, Koli, Kaylie, Chevy, Ayden and Parker; one sister, Jo Dean Bliss of Cincinnati, Oh.; one brother, Richard Turnbull and wife Theressa of Florida; two sisters-in-law, Barbara David of Guymon and Cherry Gosner of Springfield; brother-in-law Paul E.

Local magazine inspired by students The idea for a locally-produced magazine, Authenticity for Women, began during a high school entrepreneurship project.

As Hugoton Teacher Cara Rogers worked to convince her students they could successfully begin a business, she began to wonder why she didn’t “practice what she preached.”

Rogers has years of experience producing publications for other companies, but never thought she could successfully create her own. She knew the

project would not only be personally exciting, but would also improve her knowledge and the quality of her instruction.

“Each day, I work to convince the kids to believe in themselves.

I stress that age and location mean nothing if they follow the right steps and are motivated to succeed,” said Rogers. “I finally started thinking I could do more than talk, I could show them how to make a dream happen.”

Through recent research and her own lessons, Rogers knew to contact the local Small Business Administration Office at SCCC/ATS for guidance. Then she began to write a business plan, and found others interested in joining her team.

“We saw a need for a magazine that positively supports and encourages women in the many layers of their lives,” said Rogers.

“Most existing women’s magazines focus on make-up and negative lifestyle choices, with up

to 50% of the pages being advertising.”

In Fall of 2012, the magazine became available as a free interactive pdf that can be viewed on computers, iPads, Kindles and most eReaders. Requests for a print issue led the team to grow their project further.

As of the Summer 2013 issue, Rogers found supporters to provide funds for the team to distribute free print issues throughout Southwest Kansas and the Oklahoma Panhandle.

The current issues are provided

by Kansas Tourism, Liberal Tourism and Guymon Tourism, and pages were added to the back listing upcoming events in the area.

“Students that see the electronic and print issues are amazed their teacher is capable of creating such a product,” Rogers laughs. “Sometimes they forget we really do know what we are talking about.”

Free print issues can be found in Hugoton’s Chamber office, Express Lane, Yardmaster and most women’s salons. Free interactive downloads are at www.AuthenticityForWomen. com. The website also includes information for businesses interested in becoming a supporter, organizations wishing to submit upcoming events, and individuals wishing to submit articles or sell advertising.

School board meets for regular monthly meeting The Hugoton USD 210 Board of Education met in a regular monthly session at 6:35 p.m.

Monday, June 24, 2013 in the Hugoton Middle School Library.

Present at the meeting were board members Stephanie Heger, Doug Martin, Don Beesley and Todd Gayer. Martin Daharsh, Nancy Honig and Barry Hittle were absent. Also present were Superintendent Mark Crawford, Clerk of the Board Traci Shields, Elise Heger, Matt Mills, Curtis Crawford, Paula Rowden, Neal Gillespie, Max Williams, Kay McDaniels and Davonna Daharsh.

Don Beesley presided over the meeting. He asked that the agenda be amended. It was approved. Mark Crawford thanked Doug Martin and Nancy Honig for serving on the school board for the last four years. The board accepted the resignations of Shelly Finney, fourth grade and Erica Butler, HES nurse. New hires approved were Jennifer Burrows, HLA Vocational Coordinator/Advocate (replaces Emily Snyder); Rita Edmonds, HHS ELA teacher (replaces Judy Waters); Kristi Miranda - fourth grade (replaces Shelly Finney); and Lisa Oder – HES Nurse (replaces Erica Butler).

Max Williams talked to the board about the Classified Leave Pool committee recommendations for the classified sick leave policy.

Elise Heger, Director of Curriculum and Professional Development discussed the Professional Development summer plans and 2013-2014 goals.

She updated the board on curriculum data and where the school will be going next year.

There have been ten new teachers hired to replace those retiring and moving away. All ten teachers participated in a summer IT training. New teacher training will be August 7-9.

Superintendent Crawford gave his report to the board. He talked to the board about the Common Core State Standards.

He talked about West Ed and how they are helping the district with the Common Core and guiding teachers to write the school’s own curriculum.

After executive session, there was a public hearing about the revitalization plan discussed with Neal Gillespie.

Doug Martin gave the High Plains Education Cooperative (HPEC) report.

Fiscal year end budget

amounts and transfers were discussed. The good news is the district has the money to transfer $125,995 to contingency reserve and make pre-payments of required services for next budget year of $87,788. The bad news is the general fund will drop $190,000 due to the loss of new facility weighting from the state.

Consideration of Local Option Budget amounts for 2013-2014 was discussed. Superintendent Crawford encouraged the board to approve a special election to take place Tuesday, July 30. Citizens would vote on a slight tax increase to generate $92,000.

This budget authority, if approved, would empower the district to give teachers and staff a modest cost of living raise. In the past five years, the underfunding of Kansas education has stretched school districts to the limit. Kansas ranks forty-first out of 50 states in average teacher pay. A good education is an economic investment in our future and it takes excellent teachers to accomplish this goal.

Enrollment fees for 20132014 were discussed. The only change is the activity fee for HMS and HHS students will be $5.00.

Student, coaches and staff handbooks were discussed.

The board discussed the real estate contract for the HLA purchase of the building.

The motion to approve adoption of the Neighborhood Revitalization Plan passed. Neal Gillespie presented it to BOE in May and was present for Monday’s meeting.

The end of the Fiscal Year 2013 transfers were approved.

The board approved the classified sick leave policy for the 2013-2014 school year, effective beginning July 1, 2013. The committee met twice, and wrote this policy similar to the teacher sick leave policy pool and the teacher sick leave donation policy. The one difference is classified employees would have to be employed by the district for two consecutive years before they are eligible for this benefit.

The board approved letting of bids in four different transportation categories with sealed bids due to the Central Office July 10 at 3:00 p.m. and BOE consideration at the July 15 BOE meeting.

This motion gives the Central Office permission to seek bids on a new and used Suburban and a new and a used route bus. Currently, the district has 13 non-

bus vehicles in use to transport students and staff. This includes two Driver’s Education cars, four sedans, five Suburbans, one Excursion, and one van. The average mileage on these vehicles is 111,000. The average mileage on the nine route buses is 154,016.

The motion to approve West Ed professional development contract for the 2013-2014 school year for $24,000 passed. Mrs. Elise Heger and Superintendent Crawford spoke on this topic.

They shared this would be the third year for training and development of very powerful college and career readiness standards in English Language Arts (ELA) and math. This initiative has a high level of teacher support.

This partnership with West Ed creates a guaranteed and viable curriculum that our own teachers are creating for their subjects and grade levels. The common core is the framework. What our teachers are creating is the actual curriculum.

The Stokes Educational Services professional development contract for seventh and eighth grade science curriculum alignment for the 2013-2014 school year at a cost of $11,430 was approved. Elise Heger and science teachers Bobbi Ferguson and Morey Mecklenburg have chosen this science consultant and company to assist in developing a more rigorous 7-8 science curriculum. Currently, our Synergistics program lacks the level of rigor required to prepare our students for biology and other science disciplines. Synergistics will continue to be utilized with supplemental instruction. The ACT aligned EXPLORE test will continue as an assessment to gauge effectiveness of our curriculum and instruction.

The board approved the KASB Workman’s Compensation bid of $51,962 at zero deductible for the 2013-2014 school year.

The motion to consider low bids on access control at the HES and HHS was approved. The low bids totaling $91,254 were approved using capital outlay money. These projects will replace old doors and enhance the safety and access control in Hugoton Elementary School, Hugoton High School and Hugoton Middle School. This work was supported by the Facility Visioning Committee and will be completed before school begins.

The goal is to have all schools with secure entrances by the start

of school. Parents and visitors during the school day will have to be buzzed in to enter all the attendance centers, except the Hugoton Leaning Academy.

The Facility Visioning committee felt the presence of a School Resource Officer in addition to locked down schools, would ensure safer schools. Parents and the community can feel at ease with the safety procedures and protocols that will be implemented.

The board approved the motion to declare surplus and seek sealed bids by July 10 at 3:00 p.m on two district automobiles for BOE consideration at the July 15 BOE meeting. These vehicles will be advertised in the Hermes, on the district web-site and Channel 12. The vehicles the district would accept bids for are a 1999 Suburban with 161,000 miles and a 2001 Suburban with 176,773 miles.

The board approved the motion to hold a special election to increase the LOB to 31% July 30.

Doug Martin adjourned the meeting.

Summer is the peak season for lightning, one of weather's most deadly occurrences. On average over the past 50 years, at least one Kansan has died from lightning each year. Lightning Safety Awareness Week (June 23 to 29) sponsored by the Kansas Division of Emergency Management, the National Weather Service and the American Red Cross, is a nationwide effort to encourage individuals, families businesses and communities to be a force of nature and avoid the dangers of lightning.

Since the campaign began 13 years ago, the average number of lightning deaths in the U.S. has decreased from 73 to 54 but lightning continues to be one of the top three storm-related killers in the United States. In addition, lightning injures many more people than it kills and leaves some victims with life-long health problems. Between the years of 1959 and 2013, 66 people have been killed in Kansas and more than 200 injured.

close enough to strike you,” said Angee Morgan, deputy director of Kansas Emergency Management. “When you hear thunder take shelter and remain sheltered for 30 minutes after the last sound of thunder.”

Each year, more than 400 people in the United States are struck by lightning while working outside, at sports events, on the beach, out at the lake, mowing the lawn or during other outdoor activities. On average, 58 people are killed each year by lightning in the United States and several hundred more left with permanent disabilities.

There have been seven lightning fatalities in 2013.

The Kansas Division of Emergency Management, National Weather Service and American Red Cross have joined forces to create the Lightning Safety Awareness Campaign. These groups provide the information below and tips to help people stay safe when lightning strikes.

Hundreds of people are struck by lightning across the country each year, but survive. Survivors may experience memory loss, attention deficits, sleep disorders, numbness, dizziness, stiffness in joints, irritability, fatigue, weakness, muscle spasms, seizures, depression and inability to sit for long periods of time. These effects are often long-term or permanent.

ning occur because people wait too long before seeking shelter. If you can hear thunder, lightning is close enough that it could strike your location at any moment, and often strikes as far away as ten miles from any rainfall.

Every flash of lightning is dangerous, even the first, because lightning can travel sideways from the storm.

Even when the sky looks clear, be cautious. At least ten percent of lightning occurs without visible clouds overhead in the sky. Look for dark cloud bases and increasing winds, and head to safety before the first flash of lightning.

The most dangerous place to be in the event of a storm is outside. Seek shelter in a sturdy, closed building that contains a mechanism for conducting the electrical current from the point of contact to the ground. Avoid sheds, picnic shelters, baseball dugouts, bleachers, open carports, garages and covered patios, which are not safe from lightning strikes. If no enclosed building is accessible, get inside a hard-topped, all-metal vehicle.

If you can't get to a sturdy shelter, crouch down low in an open area. Stay at least twice as far away from trees as they are tall. Since water is an excellent conductor of electricity, avoid standing in or near puddles. Also, remember to avoid holding anything that will conduct or attract lightning, such as golf clubs, fishing poles or tennis racquets.

Lowell Stanley brought in the First Place winning picture for the Hugoton Camera Club. It is titled Squirrel - by LeAnn Akins.

STEVENS COUNTY Activity Center - 544-2283 Nutrition Center - 544-8041 ~ Barbara Beeks ~ The Senior Center, as we know it now, began sometime before 1979. They were meeting in the VFW hall. The hall burned down in 1979. In the meantime, Seniors met in the Memorial Hall at the courthouse. Two years later in 1981, the VFW hall had been rebuilt and the Senior Citizens were back there again.

The Hutton Civic Center was built and donated to the community by Mr. Earl Hutton in 1984. He specified it was to be used for the Senior Center and the Chamber of Commerce.

“Meals on Wheels” began right away, and continues to this day. County commissioners bought the building next to the Hutton building in 1992. People meeting at the Senior Center donated their time and resources to remodel it into a very nice Activity Center.

We have handicap accessible restrooms, an office, a craft room, a pool room, a small kitchen and a large meeting room, which we use for dances, family gatherings, meetings and many other activities.

“

nd the star-spangled banner forever shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!”

Francis Scott Key As we celebrate Independence Day, we are once again reminded that freedom is not free. Just as America fought for independence in 1776, American troops continue to defend freedom around the world today. July Fourth is a day to honor the men and women who have sacrificed so much to protect our liberty. It’s a day to proudly celebrate our great country and the ideals it represents.

If you walk down one of the halls at Pioneer Manor and you hear the buzzing noise of an electric sander, you know you are getting closer to Ron Bertram’s room. I entered his saw-dust covered room and talked to him about what he was making and a little bit about himself. Ron enjoys making wooden bird houses and picture frames. He uses a jigsaw and a Dremel with all the attachments. Sometimes his granddaughter Abby visits him and uses the Dremel to carve names on a piece of wood.

Originally from Oklahoma City, Ron moved to Hugoton in 1968 and was a bricklayer by profession. He bricked about 100 houses and buildings in the area. He went to school to learn this trade after he got out of the Marines. During the four years that he was in the Marines, he lived in many places, but the one place he really liked was Hawaii. He wishes he could go back there.

Ron has been living at Pioneer Manor for 11 years, and says that the employees do everything they can to make the residents happy. If you come

to the Manor, drop by Ron’s room to see what he’s doing. He may even build you a bird house!

Happy Birthday, America – let freedom ring forever!

This message is brought to you by this proud local business:

Ron sits at his work bench with his granddaughter Abby. Abby carved her name in a piece of wood using the Dremel tool, then stained the wood. In the foreground is a bird house that Ron is making.

My Cholesterol Numbers, What do they mean?

So you have recently had your cholesterol levels checked, but then you get the report and have no idea what it means.

Here is a basic explanation of LDL, HDL and triglycerides that might come in handy when trying to understand your numbers.

LDL is considered bad. But why? When too much LDL cholesterol circulates in the blood, it can slowly build up in the inner walls of the arteries feeding the heart and the brain.

When it works with other substances it can form plaque, a thick, hard deposit able to clog those arteries. This causes a condition called atherosclerosis.

A heart attack or stroke can be caused when a clot blocks a narrowed artery.

Levels of HDL and LDL cholesterol in the blood are meas-

ured to evaluate the risk of having a heart attack. LDL cholesterol of less than 100 mg/dL is the optimal level. Less than 130 mg/dL is near optimal for most people. A high LDL level (more than 160 mg/dL, or 130 mg/dL or above if you have two or more risk factors for cardiovascular disease) reflects an increased risk of heart disease. That’s why LDL cholesterol is often called the “bad” cholesterol.

About one-third to one-fourth of blood cholesterol is carried by high-density lipoproteins (HDL).

HDL cholesterol is known as the “good” cholesterol because a high level of it seems to protect against heart attacks.

Low HDL cholesterol levels of less than 40 mg/dL increases the risk for heart disease. Medical experts think HDL tends to carry cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver, where it’s passed from the body.

Some experts believe HDL removes excess cholesterol from

plaque in arteries, thus slowing up buildup.

Triglycerides Triglycerides are a form of fat found in food, and are also made in our bodies. People with high triglycerides often have a high total cholesterol, a high LDL cholesterol, and a low HDL cholesterol level.

Many people with heart disease also have high triglyceride levels. People with diabetes or who are obese are also likely to have high triglycerides. Triglyceride levels of less than 150 mg/dL are normal; levels from 150-199 are borderline high.

Levels that are borderline high or high (200 mg/dL to 499 mg/dL), in some people, may need treatment.

Triglyceride levels of 500 mg/dL or above are very high.

Doctors need to treat people who have high triglycerides, and who also have high LDL cholesterol levels.

Besides medications to treat cholesterol and triglycerides, you can use diet to lower or help maintain current levels.

Look for proteins that are lower in fats such as fish, chicken, lean cuts of pork and beef. Nuts can also be a good protein source, as is lower fat cheese and milk.

Cut back on carbohydrates such as pasta and bread. When you do have carbs try to make them whole grain to help reduce cholesterol and for better nutrition.

Increase your fruit and vegetable intake. Choose fresh or frozen over canned. If using canned vegetables look for reduced sodium varieties, or rinse them before preparing.

Friday, June 29, 1928 The ninety foot flag pole which stood in the center of the square will be moved from its place Saturday. It will be raised near the power plant. The flag pole marked the place which at one time was a very popular place. During the 1880s, a well

was dug in the center of the square and settlers came for miles around for water for home and stock use. Later a windmill was erected and a cistern dug for storing the water.

It is said by old timers that people would come and stand in line all day to get a bucket or barrel of water. In September 1917, the city ordered the windmill and tank taken down and the cistern to be filled up.

The flag pole which was removed from the square was set in the old well in eight feet of concrete, two feet square. The large pipe used for the two bottom joints was obtained from the county. It had been used in the test made by the county, near the depot, for artesian water. The top of the pole was an old oak pole cut by M.A. Reeve from an oak timber. In

Excitement was high on east Fourth Street.

Wolters Construction has moved a big house into the neighborhood and now the cranes were

setting it on the newly formed basement. The Joshua Grubbs family is especially excited as they are planning to live in this beautiful home.

This is the view as both sides of the house are set on the new basement. It takes a lot of careful maneuvering to get the house set just right.

drugs and alcohol and educate recreational boaters about the dangers of BUI. KDWPT officers are responsible for patrolling the waters of Kansas and conducting boat accident investigations, boat safety inspections, BUI checks, safety programs, education classes and other boating related activities. During Operation Dry Water, officers will be out in force looking for boaters whose blood alcohol content exceeds the state limit of 0.08.

The weekend will include increased patrols, breathalyzer tests, life jacket checks and boater education. Impaired boaters can expect to be arrested or face other serious penalties. In Kansas, the consequences for BUI include fines, jail and loss of boating privileges. During the 2012 Operation Dry Water, eight arrests were made for BUI offenses.

"We are dedicated to keeping boaters safe on our waters.

Boating is a safe and enjoyable pastime when people stay alert and follow the rules,” said Kansas Boating Law Administrator Maj. Dan Hesket. "Many factors contribute to the way alcohol affects a person on the water, such as the sun, wind, glare, dehydration and wave motion, causing a person to become intoxicated three times faster than on shore.”

BUI is a major problem across the nation. According to U.S. Coast Guard Recreational Boating Statistics 2012, alcohol is the primary contributing factor in recreational boating fatalities. Intoxicated boaters run a significantly increased risk of being involved in a fatal boating accident. During calendar year 2012, Kansas recorded 27 boat accidents, of which two resulted in a fatality, 12 resulted in injuries, and 13 involved only property damage.

Two people were killed, 13 were injured and there was an estimated $112,321 in property damages.

Operation Dry Water 2013 is a joint program of KDWPT, the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, and the U.S. Coast Guard. For more information, visit www.operationdry water.org.

The teen birth rate decreased from 41 per 1,000 teens (ages 15 to 19) in 2005 to 39 per 1,000 in 2010. And the percentage of high school students not graduating on time went down to 15 (2009-10) from 22 (2005-06).

But the state worsened in all four of the economic wellbeing indicators. Additionally, the Data Book shows that more than half of three- to four-year-olds in Kansas are not attending preschool.

"The governor and policymakers are debating the best way to improve literacy outcomes for our children, but the research is clear: Literacy begins at birth, and ensuring Kansas kids have access to high-quality early learning opportunities is the best way to reach that goal."

The KIDS COUNT Data Book features the latest data on child well-being for every state, the District of Columbia and the nation.

Nineteen percent of Kansas children are living below the poverty line, according to the 2013 KIDS COUNT Data Book, released this week by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

Especially alarming is the rate at which the percentage of children living in areas of concentrated poverty is growing. In 2000, only two percent of Kansas children lived in highpoverty areas. The latest data, from 2007-11, show seven percent of Kansas children live in highpoverty areas. That's a rate increase of more than 200 percent.

"The data tell us that Kansas is moving in the wrong direction, despite the governor's stated commitment to reducing childhood poverty in his 'Roadmap for Kansas,'" said Shannon Cotsoradis, president and CEO of Kansas Action for Children. "This is a problem we can no longer wait to address.

The governor has one year left in his first term and has yet to realize his vision."

The KIDS COUNT Data Book provides an in-depth look at how America's children are faring. Each state is ranked on 16 indicators of child wellbeing in four categories: health, economic well-being, education and family and community. For overall child wellbeing, Kansas ranks sixteenth.

According to the Data Book, Kansas has shown the most improvement in the health and

Dig A Little, Learn A Lot! As temperatures go UP, it’s an excellent time for farmers, ranchers, and gardeners to focus their attention down to the soil below them. A checkup of your soil’s health gives clues of your ground’s ability to feed plants, hold water, capture carbon, and more.

No fancy equipment required.

Just grab a shovel and prepare your senses “It doesn’t matter what kind of landowner you are, says Natural Resource Specialist Lyle Frees with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).

“Small farmers, large farmers, organic farmers, and even home gardeners can all benefit from this simple discovery project of one of their most important resources.

With your shovel, nose, eyes, and hands ready, Frees suggests the following steps to investigate soil health: LOOK—Look for plant residue on the soil surface and a living canopy or cover.

The soil structure should look like chocolate cake with air holes permeating throughout. You should see organic matter and live roots that extend way down. And of course, you should see earthworms—our wonderful soil engineers!

SMELL—Healthy soil should have the aroma of geosmin, which is a by-product of soil microbes called actinomycetes. Geosmin has a sweet, earthy aroma like

nothing else.

TOUCH—Soil should be loose and crumble easily. In healthy soil, roots can grow straight and deep, allowing plants to reach nutrients and water they need to produce the food we love to eat.

“We are blessed with productive soils in Kansas,” says Frees. We want to keep them that way and even build them where possible.” In addition to the vital production of soil health to the individual farmer or gardener, Frees explains that healthy soil has a direct impact on many larger issues that affect life as we know it. Healthy soil holds, filters, and regulates water; mitigates drought and flooding; reduces runoff and erosion; cycles nutrients; sequesters carbon; and suppresses weeds and pests naturally—all while supporting our homes and buildings.

For all these reasons, NRCS has recently launched a nationwide effort to “Unlock the Secrets of the Soil.”

Not sure your soil passes the soil health test? Visit the Soil Health portal at http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/w ps/portal/nrcs/main/national/soils/health/ or contact your local NRCS office.

For more information about NRCS and its programs, stop by your local USDA Service Center or go to the Web site www.ks.nrcs.usda.gov. Follow us on Twitter @NRCS_Kansas. USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

The dove is focus of national survey in 2013 One of North America’s most highly sought after migratory birds, the dove, will be the focus of a national survey conducted June 20 through the end of the year.

A cooperative effort of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Flyway Councils, and state fish and wildlife agencies, the National Dove Hunter Survey will examine the experiences and opinions of dove hunters from across the nation.

“Nationally, there are more than one million dove hunters in the United States,” said Dr. Ken Richkus, USFWS Population and Habitat Assessment Branch. “This survey will encompass all regions of the country and will give us an excellent picture of hunter opinions and needs.”

Surveys will be mailed to randomly selected hunters from across the nation who purchased a HIP stamp required to hunt doves. Specific topics being surveyed include hunter characteristics, time spent hunting, and perceived constraints to hunting. The

The mourning dove survey will also examine hunters’ thoughts about potential effects of spent lead on mourning doves and other wildlife.

“The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the states want to make sure we use the best science-based information for the management and conservation of our migratory bird resources and take hunter opinions and preferences into account whenever possible,” said Richkus.

For more information, contact Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism migratory bird specialist Richard Schultheis at (620) 342-0658 or by email at richard.schultheis@ksoutdoors.com.

FSA looking for committee member nominations Kansas Farm Service Agency (FSA) State Executive Director Adrian J. Polansky announced that the nomination period for local FSA county committees began Monday, June 17.

“I encourage all eligible farmers and ranchers to participate in this year’s county committee elections by nominating candidates by the August 1 deadline,” said Polansky. “County committees are a vital link between the farm community and the U.S. Department of Agriculture and provide an opportunity to farmers and ranchers for their opinions and ideas to be heard. We have been seeing an increase in the number of nominations of women and minority candidates and I hope that trend continues.”

To be eligible to serve on an FSA county committee, a person must participate or cooperate in a program administered by FSA, be eligible to vote in a county committee election and reside in the local administrative area in which the person is a candidate.

Farmers and ranchers may nominate themselves or others, and organizations representing minorities and women also may nominate

candidates. To become a candidate, an eligible individual must sign the nomination form, FSA-669A. The form and other information about FSA county committee elections are available online at www.fsa.usda.gov/elections.

Nomination forms for the 2013 election must be postmarked or received in the local USDA Service Center by close of business Augist 1, 2013. Elections will take place this fall.

While FSA county committees do not approve or deny farm ownership or operating loans, they make decisions on disaster and conservation programs, emergency programs, commodity price support loan programs and other agricultural issues. Members serve three-year terms. Nationwide, there are about 7,800 farmers and ranchers serving on FSA county committees. Committees consist of three to 11 members that are elected by eligible producers.

FSA will mail ballots to eligible voters beginning November 4. The voted ballots are due back to the local county office either via mail or in person by December 2.

Newly elected committee members and alternates take office January 1, 2014.

Hall and Dunn compete in area rodeo Micah Hall and Hannah Dunn competed in Lakin's rodeo last weekend. Micah's horse, Cotton, had been sold, but she borrowed her brother Taylor's horse, and that worked out just fine. With her first ride in breakaway, she posted the top score, and it remained!

Unfortunately, Taylor's horse was not familiar with barrels or poles, so

she had to forego those events this week.

Hannah Dunn placed third in goats Saturday and Sunday, for a successful start to her rodeo season.

Also in rodeo news, Morgan Robson is in Gallup, N.M., waiting to compete in the National Junior High rodeo. She will be riding and roping later this week.
