Hospital board considers well woman services A meeting was called by Stevens County Hospital Tuesday, July 15 at 7:00 a.m. to discuss proposals for annual well woman services. Present at the meeting were Hospital Administrator Linda Stalcup, Clinic Director Stacy Helget, Heath Department Administrator and County Health Officer Paula Rowden, Hospital Board Members Warren Willis, Milton Gillespie, Kirk Heger and Patty Lahey, County Commissioners Dave Bozone and Jim Bell and Hermes reporter Wilma Bartel. Stevens County is looking for ways to provide proactive health services for women, including those who are uninsured or under-insured. Stacy Helget reported the results of a survey she had done of area county health departments, what services they provide and how those agencies are compensated for services.
After some discussion of the results, a question was posed regarding County Health contracting with a nurse practitioner separate from the one at the Clinic. Could both agencies work together and utilize the same nurse practitioner? General consensus was the two agencies needed to coordinate efforts. “The Stevens County Hospital and Medical Clinic...We want to provide care to everyone,” said Warren Willis, chairman of the hospital board. “Maybe because we charge an office visit, there is a portion of residents that are underserved through our methods. I think Paula is trying to make sure that that sector of our residents has the opportunity and the care that they need. I just want to see somehow both entities work together to solve the needs of the health care for Stevens County residents so that we
can do it the most efficient way, cost effective way and most beneficial to the residents.” County Commissioner Dave Bozone addressed the financial impact. “First off, we want to make sure that the people are taken care of. Secondly, finances are very important to us. We had budget meetings yesterday and they weren’t very pleasant at all. Our auditors told us we needed to make some major cuts. We did. We cut every budget. Last year’s budget is cut 10%. You get 90% of the money that you got last year. And some other cuts besides that.” After lengthy discussion, Warren Willis requested Linda Stalcup draw up a proposal to provide contract services to County Health and send it to Paula Rowden. Linda suggested that she and Paula work on it together. The meeting adjourned.
Clouds covering the sky Tuesday morning look more like autumn than summer. Cooler
temperatures make the day pleasant and hopefully wet.
Three Hugoton youth attend Masonic All-State Band camp The Kansas Masonic Foundation, Inc. has announced plans to present the thirty—first annual Kansas Masonic All-State High School Marching Band and corresponding band camp at Pittsburg State University (PSU) from July 22 through July 26. Students from Hugoton participating in the band are Takoda Eckert on Trumpet, Chance Ghumm on Mellophone and Trace Peterson on Mellophone. All three boys are sponsored by the Hugoton Lodge #406. Approximately 175 high school musicians will attend this year’s camp, directed by PSU’s Douglas Whitten and his staff. The five-day camp ends with performances at the Shrine Bowl parade, as well as pre-game and halftime performances during Kansas East-West the Shrine Bowl Football Game Saturday, July 26 at PSU’s Carnie Smith Stadium. The Kansas Masonic AllState High School Marching Band first appeared at the East-West Shrine Bowl in 1984. “The idea for the marching band and camp was actually borne out of necessity,” said Robert Shively, Executive Director for the Kansas Masonic Foundation. “Because of the summer break, high school bands are not readily available so we created our own. The entertainment provided by the marching band is a perfect complement to the atmosphere of the East-West Shrine Bowl.”
Band Camp participants have the opportunity to win one of three prestigious awards presented annually: • The Outstanding Musician Award: the Kansas Masonic All-State Marching Band staff chooses the winner of this competitive award. • The Masonic Pride Award: Presented to the student who stands out through random acts of kindness and service to all band kind. • The Jeff Atherly Inspiration Award: Given in memory of Jeff Atherly—a four-year veteran of band camp. This award is presented to the student who
epitomizes the character of the Kansas Masonic All-Star Marching Band tradition. Since 1984, more than 5,000 high school students have participated in the Kansas Masonic All-State High School Marching Band. Local Masonic Lodges and other community partners sponsor participants. Monies left after band camp expenses are given back to the students in the form of scholarships. Net proceeds from the East-West Shrine Bowl football game are donated to the Shriners Hospitals for Children.

Chamber Board plans Teacher Appreciation Breakfast The Hugoton Area Chamber of Commerce Board members met for their monthly board meeting Wednesday, July 9 during the noon hour in the Senior Center craft room. Board members present were Leslee Hoggatt, David Snyder, Cathy Wolters, RoGlenda Coulter and Chamber Executive Director Ruth Van Horn. Board members Toby Kehn, Kimberly Kraisinger and Courtney Leslie were absent. Ruth had the refreshments, meeting minutes from last meeting and the present agenda waiting for the members when they arrived. At noon President Cathy called the meeting to order. The Welcome to Hugoton bags were discussed. Minutes from the last meeting were read over and accepted. Ruth went over and explained the bills. Money was transfered to pay for the fireworks. Mo-
tion was made to pay all the other bills presented in a financial report. Ruth said no matter what, the fireworks is one thing the Chamber should never want to quit doing. From the attendance that turned out, it is a very, very popular event. David said Moscow offers a hamburger feed to help fund their fireworks. Some people were asking about donating to the fireworks. Ruth said the VFW wants to donate to the fireworks fund for next year. It was discussed why the grandstands at the school were closed this year. Ruth said she was told if there was anyone in the stands, the fireworks would not be fired off because of the wind direction and safety precautions. Otherwise the grandstands are usually open during the fireworks display if at all possible. Continued to page 4

Larry and Myra Martin came across two interesting individuals recently: Michael and Julie Pearson, who are making their way across the United States, walking 3000 miles to support the homeless. Michael and Julie were on their way through southwest Kansas in late June. The couple has worn out several pair of tennis shoes during their trek, and, as of press time, they are already making their way through McPherson. You can follow along as they spread awareness and God’s love throughout America by searching “Walk 3000 Miles in Their Shoes” on Facebook. com. Their ultimate goal is to share the love of God with the homeless and to raise enough money to build a ranch where homeless people can live, work and worship. Michael and Julie are nearly halfway through their journey, but they still have a long, hard road ahead of them. Reading their posts on Facebook, you will be reminded of the goodness of small-town residents. Many southwest Kansans refused money for goods Michael and Julie needed, offered their houses for them to stay in, and gave food, drinks, encouragement and prayers when they met the couple. While living on the road might sound tempting at times, Michael detailed a few of the struggles in a post Saturday, June 28. “While I have enjoyed much of our trip it has not been as easy as it sounds . . . We step out on to the shoulder of the open road - if there is a shoulder - and walk 15 to 20 miles hoping that the truckers have had their morning coffee and remember what side of the line they belong on. As the cars whip by at 75 mph, we pray that the driver does not answer the text he was reading and just waves so we know he sees we are there.
Meanwhile we check the ground for snakes and other things that might come out after us.” If you would like to donate to Michael and Julie’s mission, you can do so with PayPal by transferring money to Walk3000milesintheirshoes@ yahoo.com, at GoFundMe.com and searching “Walk 3000
Miles in Their Shoes”, or mailing a check to Michael or Julie Pearson, 7 Fortuna Road, Santa Fe, N.M. 87508. Checks may be made payable to Michael or Julie Pearson. If you see these two on your sojourns around the state, remember to show them southwest Kansas spirit and help them along their way.
Julie and Michael Pearson make their way across Kansas on their mission to “Walk 3000 Miles in Their Shoes”, to benefit the homeless.

Annually, the KHP is charged with ensuring school buses are in proper working order before being put on the road This month and next, as parents are purchasing their kids’ school supplies, teachers are prepping their classrooms, and students are looking forward to seeing their friends again, the Kansas Highway Patrol will be working to ensure these students are kept safe during their travels to and from school. Every July and August, KHP troopers, in conjunction with school districts across the state, check all school buses to ensure they are all in good working order. Troopers will check the buses from the middle of July until the beginning of the school session to make sure the vehicles will load, transport and unload students safely. Buses and other vehicles throughout the state are

also inspected for compliance with safety regulations. A few of the things troopers will be checking are the lights, emergency exits, tires, windshield wipers, fire extinguishers, first aid kits and emergency spill kits. “Our children are our future. We owe it to the family members, and their children alike, to make sure these kids arrive to and from their destinations safely,” said Lieutenant Joshua Kellerman, KHP public information officer. “By partnering with these school districts across Kansas, we can assure that we are taking the proper steps to keep our children safe.” Thousands of school vehicles’ equipment and mechanical conditions will be checked as troopers visit each school district. The inspection stickers have been updated this year, as was a joint effort between the Kansas Highway Patrol and the Kansas State Department of Education. For any bus or school vehicle passing inspection from June 1, 2014 through May 31, 2015, a blue sticker will be displayed in the lower driver’s side corner of the windshield. Vehicles that do not comply with safety regulations cannot be used to transport students until all defects are corrected and a trooper rechecks the vehicle. In 2013, the KHP inspected 11,215 buses and other school vehicles for defects. Over the last ten years, the Patrol has inspected 95,237 school vehicles that transport students.

Chamber Board Continued from page 1 The financial report was read over. The CD was also gone over. Since there is not a large amount in it, it was decided to leave it as it is. The July Chamber Luncheon was discussed. Fried chicken is the fare and Shila Moore will present the program at Pioneer Manor. The August Luncheon will be August 19 at the library. Ruth discussed the Park Day events. She said she was very pleased. Next year will be the All Class School Reunion during Park Day. The board decided next year, there should be an increased charge for the electricity booths with a limited number. Bracelets for all the events were discussed. Many said this year was the largest crowd for Park Day in a long time. It was suggested some of the events could spill over into the baseball diamond in the future. Next item for discussion was the Fair Parade, which will take place Monday, July 28 at 5:30 p.m. The Santa Committee will be in charge of recruiting the judges for the floats. RoGlenda suggested letting ATVs in the parade this year. Hugoton now has an ATV dealer in town. Ruth will look into getting this okayed and checking with Tony Martin. Ruth will
be sending out letters to candidates for the Candidate Forum which will follow the parade at 6:30 p.m. The primary will be big this year as it may determine who will serve as commissioner for Stevens County. The Teacher Appreciation Breakfast is planned for 6:30 to 8:00 a.m. Wednesday, August 13 at Pigs R Us. Ruth mentioned it would be really nice if Chamber Board members could be there. Miscellaneous items were discussed and included: the Chamber is going to do a concession booth at the car show. They will sell hamburgers and possibly iced tea and water. Ruth talked about the Chamber ad in the Community Guide featured in The Hugoton Hermes. Welcome bags were discussed further. These are given to newcomers to the community and include, among various other free items, the Community Guide. Bags will be made and given to new teachers, new preachers and any other new people the Chamber can find out about. Ruth said she will have to be out of the office for a few days in mid-July. It was suggested to urge businesses to sponsor contests for Park Day next year. Meeting adjourned.

Economic Development disburses final Residential Incentive funds The Stevens County Economic Development Board met Tuesday, July 8, 2014 at the Senior Center craft room for their July meeting. Attending the meeting were Director Neal Gillespie, Secretary Ruth Van Horn, and Board Members Dan Corpening, Doug Martin, Mark Crawford, Jan Leonard, Ray Hoggett, Jack Rowden, Judy Parsons and Curtis Crawford. Also attending the meeting was Hugoton Hermes reporter Ruthie Winget. Board Member Josh Morris was absent. The minutes of the last meeting were reviewed and approved. Jack Rowden gave the treasurer’s report, stating the checking account balance as of June 30, 2014 was $1,249.62. The total Special Projects balance was $63,573.83, of which $7,699.17 is the Housing Incentive balance. The board
members voted to transfer $2,500 into the checking account to pay the bills. Director Gillespie introduced new board member Judy Parsons. She is with Kansas Dairy Ingredients. Neal reported the annual audit had been returned. Everything was in good order. He stated the Moderate Income Housing grant requires a preconstruction energy rating from the contractors from four of the proposed units. There will be seven speculation homes, two triplex units and one duplex built which will be covered by this grant. This grant pays the contractors $16,660 per unit if all the regulations are followed. Neal reported two more houses qualify for the Residential Incentive Payments provided by Stevens County Economic Development Board. Eric Haar qualifies for $4,080 by completing a residence appraised for
$204,000. The board passed a motion to present him a check for this amount. Rick Wolters also completed a residence for Chan Landa appraised for $184,000. Since there is only $3,619.17 in the Residential Incentive fund, the board passed a motion to pay them this amount. This will close out the Residential Incentive account. Gillespie reported representatives from the proposed Best Western Plus Suites stopped by to begin the process for doing Industrial Revenue Bonds which will save them paying sales tax on their building materials and will allow them to do tax abatements for ten years. They will buy their own bonds when they are issued. The city council has approved selling these bonds. Neal informed the board dirt is being moved as a first step for the new supermarket
being built. He also reported the Chamber of Commerce and EcoDevo, along with Farm Bureau, are co-hosting a candidates forum at the fairgrounds July 28, 2014 starting at 6:30 p.m. right after the parade under the tent. Jan Leonard reported bids will be released in September for the Safe Routes to School project. He hopes the project will be started about the end of the year. Under old business, Neal stated Abengoa is still planning their Grand Opening for sometime this fall. Kansas
Michael is still looking for a grant to help with the costs for these repairs. He recommended waiting a few months for these repairs because crack repairs do better in cooler weather. Manager Porter reported the people from Hays fixed one crack to show how their product worked. He said it really looked good, if any of the board members would like to see the results. Gary plans to run a packer on the runway occasionally during the summer months to keep the runway alive and to prevent further cracking. Gary informed the board FAA came by the airport for a regular inspection. The officials informed the manager signs were needed at the fuel farm. The signs are now in place. The fire extinguishers also needed to be brought up to date, and Gary reported the fire extinguishers are current now. He reported the tractor he uses for mowing is leaking a lot of oil. The board in-
structed Gary to get it fixed. Josh Jorde was appointed to check into the price of leasing a tractor for a season. Gary stated the deposit has been sent for the new hangar door. The door should arrive within eight weeks. After going into executive session, the meeting adjourned. The next meeting will be August 6, 2014.

Kansas farmers who currently use organic production practices or would like to pursue organic certification are encouraged to apply for cost share funds from the Kansas Department of Agriculture (KDA). The program, funded by the 2014 Farm Bill, is administered though the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS). The program is intended to assist Kansas farmers by offsetting costs associated with organic certification or recertification. Under the state’s agreement with USDA, they are eligible for up to 75 percent of the cost of their organic certification, up to $750, for certification occurring between October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2014, as long as funds remain. “This is a great opportunity for farmers to achieve this certification at a reduced cost,” said Annarose Hart, marketing specialist with the Kansas Department of Agriculture. To receive cost share funds, Kansas organic farmers and handlers must complete the Organic Certification Cost Share Program Application, and submit it along with a copy of the organic certification document, an invoice showing the amount paid for that certification and a W-9 form. KDA was allocated nearly $73,000 in funds for the cost share program for farms certified between October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2014. Upon receipt of cost share documents, KDA will confirm certification and then provide reimbursement. Based on the receipt of the completed application packet by KDA, reimbursements will be on a first-come, first-served basis until the limited program funds are exhausted. The program application is posted on the KDA Web site, Organic Cost Share Program. The site is also a great resource for program updates. Questions about cost-share funds for organic certification may be directed to Josh Roe
at 785-564-6707 or Annarose Hart at 785-564-6755 or by email to Annarose.Hart@kda.ks.gov. Information is also available from the National Organic Program Web site at www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0 /nop.

The 25 quilts featured in "A Legacy of Quilt History" reflect the varying aspects of Mary's interests and work, from nineteenth century quilts she collected to more

MUSEUM UPDATE from The Stevens County Gas & Historical Museum Gladys Renfro, Beulah Carter, Linda McCrary, and Billy Woodworth “It’s a Mystery” One of my favorite television programs to watch stars Mark Harmon, who plays Jethro Gibbs on “NCIS”. One of the little idiosyncrasies Special Agent Gibbs has is that he is continually working on a boat in his basement. DIFFERENT boats! The other characters cannot figure out how he gets those boats out of his house, and he won’t let them in on the secret. Well, the museum has a similar situation with the
“Baby Ace" single engine Corben Sport Plane! (Say that five times fast.) We have been asked how we got an airplane into the museum. The “Baby Ace” airplane was loaned to the museum in 1991 by Jeanine Powelson’s father, Dick Hanlin, whose wife was “Bitsy” Hanlin of Hugtoton. Mr. Hanlin said he acquired the plane in 1932. It was a ‘kit’ plane, which Mr. Hanlin said to his knowledge was never flown. The wings were built for another plane in 1929 or 1930 and
This “Baby Ace” single engine Corben sport plane is displayed at the Stevens County Gas & Historical Museum. It was donated by Dick Hanlin of Liberal.

the fuselage was constructed before that. When this single engine “Baby Ace” was finally constructed, it was done with the help of magazine instructions, and completely covered with unbleached muslin before being painted yellow. Mr. Hanlin’s “Baby Ace” weighs in the neighborhood of 600 lbs. The “Baby Ace” was among the first aircraft offered in kit form in the world. The plans were first offered in 1929 and are still available in some places today. The designer, Orland Corben, designed a number of aircraft, including the Junior Ace, Prober Junior Ace, and the Super Ace. Together with the Baby Ace, these aircraft are commonly known as Corben Baby Aces. Corben began manufacturing airplanes in 1923, but went out of business 16 years later in 1939. So how did we get that Corben Baby Ace into the museum and hung from the ceiling? I don’t know…go ask Gibbs. We are located at 905 S. Adams in Hugoton. We open at 10:00 a.m. and close at 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Saturdays. We are closed for lunch from noon to 1:00 p.m.

A large percentage of citizens would like to sign petitions for street improvement. The cost would be high but maintenance and traffic hazards are becoming higher. Also the gravel is disappearing from the streets and dust fog after every vehicle is increasingly unpleasant. After a rain, the streets are almost impassable. It is understood the city of Ulysses’ business section streets were given an oil covering and has met with great favor.
House passes Huelskamp supported bill to protect from EPA overreach July 10, the House of Representatives passed its annual Energy and Water appropriations bill by a vote of 253 to 170 with Congressman Huelskamp’s support. The bill included a provision Congressman Huelskamp requested to stop attempts by the EPA and Corps of Engineers to re-write the Clean Water Act. It was a response to the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers proposal of a radical expansion of the terms ‘navigable waters’ and ‘waters of the United States’ earlier this spring. Representative Huelskamp issued the following Statement: “This attempt at a massive regulatory expansion - by the Obama Administration in tandem with its environmentalist allies - is an extreme threat, particularly to America’s farmers and ranchers. This Washington power grab would subject nearly all waters in the U.S. to EPA control, including those in road ditches, farm ponds, prairie potholes, swimming pools, water tanks and rain puddles in Kansas and elsewhere. Last night’s passage shows the importance my colleagues and I see in protecting the private property rights of farmers and ranchers. By using our constitutional authority through this power of the purse, we can rein in out-ofcontrol bureaucrats in Obama’s EPA and any other federal agency.” The day before the vote, Representative Huelskamp said from the floor, “Only in Washington would bureaucrats try to define standing water in a ditch surrounded by prairie land (like the one pictured below) as water capable of navigation. It’s time for the Administration to Ditch the Rule, and until then this Congress should not allow the Administration to spend one penny to advance it.”
Are these future Kansas navigable waters? In related news, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt last Friday pledged opposition to expanded regulation of farm and ranch waterways. Schmidt said he is working
with several agencies in state government to ensure that comments are submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pointing out problems with the proposed new definition of “waters of the United States”. The EPA, along with the Army Corps of Engineers and Department of Defense, proposed the new regulatory definition in April, and many Kansans are concerned the broader definition will result in further regulation of small waterways, ditches and ponds on Kansas farms and ranches. “We are taking strong steps to inform the federal government of the ill-advised nature of these new regulations,” Schmidt said. “I’m hopeful the many comments from states, farmers and ranchers, and other affected businesses and organizations will cause the federal government to withdraw this new proposal and reconsider its actions. We don’t need a federal regulator in every acre of every field and pasture.” Last week, the Kansas Agricultural Alliance, an umbrella organization of several farm and ranch organizations in the state, sent a letter to Schmidt and to Governor Sam Brownback asking them to oppose the new proposed regulations. In a response sent today, Schmidt pledged his opposition. “I am strongly opposed to the Environmental Protection Agency’s efforts to extend its regulatory reach to virtually every aspect of property ownership and agricultural production through its attempt to redefine ‘Waters of the U.S.’ that are subject to federal regulation,” Schmidt wrote. “This federal power grab is unnecessary, unwise and, in my view, unsupported by the statute Congress enacted. It needs to be stopped.” The period for public comments to be submitted on the proposed new definition of “waters of the United States” has been extended until October 20, 2014. Comments must be identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-20110880 and submitted by one of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations. gov/. Follow the instructions for submitting comments. • Email: ow-docket@ epa.gov.

Carl Lewis Funk Carl Lewis Funk, a former Rolla school teacher and a lifelong citizen of Kansas, passed away Saturday, July 5, 2014 at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Oh. He was 90. Born May 17, 1924 in Sedan, he was the son of Benjamin J. Funk and Lora Blanche Hammond Funk. He was baptized in the First Baptist Church in Sedan.
Carl attended Kindergarten through high school in Sedan and really enjoyed the fact that his birthday and the start of summer vacation frequently coincided. During his childhood in Sedan, Carl also acquired a lifelong love of music and even paid for piano lessons using money from his paper route. After graduating from Sedan High School in May 1942, Carl enrolled at Coffeyville Junior College, but World War II interrupted his college studies. Carl enlisted in the United States Army Reserves in Coffeyville in October 1942 and was activated into the U.S. Army in March 1943. After basic training, Carl said he volunteered to be a paratrooper because he could have the thrill of jumping out of planes while getting an extra $50 a month of “jump pay.” Carl was assigned to the 503rd Parachute Regimental Combat Team with whom he fought in five battles in the South Pacific, including the famous jump on Corrigedor. He was wounded by Japanese mortar on the Island of Negros April 11, 1945, and was honorably discharged in November 1945. Carl received the Bronze Star and Purple Heart and other awards and citations for his military service. After the Army, Carl returned to his college studies, earning a B.S. in Music Education in May 1949 from Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia. He taught music for three years at Kingsdown and in 1952 ac-
cepted a music teaching position at Wilmore where he met his future wife, Myra Josephine Price, whom he always called “Jo”. Carl and Jo were married in August 1955 and contributed five children to the baby boomer generation. Carl spent 40 years teaching instrumental and vocal music to elementary and secondary students in the Kansas public school system, including one year in Rolla from 1978-79. He retired from the Coffeyville School District in May 1989. After retirement, Carl helped his daughter Cindy and son-in-law Mike Myers establish a popcorn business in Colorado, and enjoyed playing the piano, taking his five grandchildren on tractor rides at the farm in Kansas and watching the Kansas City Chiefs and KU Jayhawks on television. During the twilight of his long and active life, Carl suffered from increasing dementia and was cared for at home by his wife. A cherished experience Carl had during this time was going on an Honor Flight with a group of Kansas WWII Veterans to the nation’s capital in September 2010. In late 2013, Carl moved into a small memory care home in Ohio, near his daughter Carla and her family. Carl was preceded in death by his parents Ben and Lora. He is survived by Myra, his wife of almost 60 years; their children, Jeff and wife Agnes Weber, Melodie and huband Steven Henderson, Cynthia and husband Mike Myers, Carla and husband Tom Wittum and Dan; his siblings, Wayne and wife Mary Joyce and Margaret; his five grandchildren, Kelsi Wittum, Chris Wittum, Renna Wittum, Mackenzie Myers and Stuart Myers; and numerous nieces and nephews. A military memorial service is planned for Friday, July 25 at 1:30 p.m. at Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery, 395 Biddle Boulevard in Fort Leavenworth. His family will host a celebration of Carl’s life Saturday, July 26 at the Methodist Church in Liberty from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. The family suggests memorials in tribute to Carl’s life to the Honor Flight Network www.hon orflight.org, 937-521-2400 or the Alzheimer’s Association www.alz.org, 800-272-3900.

Steffan and Tara Light co-host the Youth Quest 2014 show in Daytona Beach, Fl.
Meredith Light wins scholarships Meredith Light has been using the talents God gave her to the fullest extent. After hosting two concerts in Kansas, Meredith traveled with her family to Daytona Beach, Fl., for Youth Quest 2014 to perform in a competition. She truly was a “light” for God as she sang her heart out and won four different medals. Here is what her father wrote: “Meredith placed first in [female vocal solo], and first in [audible drama, solo]. These placings rewarded her with $1000 in scholarships each, totaling $3000, including what was previously won at the conference level in Oklahoma. The scholarships are awarded by Southwestern Christian University, where she attends. “Meredith with her college roommate, Madeline Sanderson of Amarillo, placed second in [duets, trios and quartets]. They placed third in [vocal instrumental ensemble], along with Daniel Allen of Mississippi. All were awarded medals but no scholarships were awarded for second and third places. “Steffan Light, Meredith's brother, was the producer of the awards ceremony. Five competitors were incorporated into the program to perform their talents. Meredith, being the female vocal solo winner, was asked to sing. Meredith, who was accom-
panied on the guitar by Madeline, was on stage at the Peabody Theater singing to a full house. “Steffan and Tara Light cohosted the awards ceremony. The ceremony is based on traditional awards programs. “Youth Quest is an annual Ministry, and the planning has already started for next year. Steffan and Tara have been competitors since they were teens and now they have an opportunity to participate in the production of this massive event for the youth of the IPHC (International Pentecostal Holiness Church). They have been have been working Youth Quest conventions for the past six years. “Steffan serves as department head of Video Ministries for the IPHC in Bethany, Ok. “Beverly, Whitney, Sloane, Lyndsay and Dillyn, all were in attendance in Daytona. Marcus was not there, but watched a live streaming video in Rolla. Everyone is overjoyed and tired. Each family group will sightsee, and travel to other states, then work their ways back home.”

In the middle are Teagan Simmons, seated Sarah Easterwood (seated), Kaleigh Barrett and Jessica Pinkley (standing.) Abby Easterwood stands in front.
SWAT group travels to Colorado The SWAT (Students With A Testimony) group from Rolla traveled to Cotopaxi, Co., near Pueblo, Co. for their annual trip. Twelve people attended, making it a smaller group, but allowing for more one-on-one time with leaders and God. Bob and Toni Easterwood with their children, Sarah, Ellie, Abby and Matthew as well as leader Arleen Clinesmith and her daughter, Karly, Sherry Pinkley and her daughter, Jes-
sica, Teagan Simmons and Kaleigh Barrett made up the members of the group. The first day was spent at the Pueblo Zoo and setting up camp. The next day the group went to Captain Zipline Aerial Course in Salida, Co., which is an obstacle course above the ground. River rafting and a trip to Bishop Castle ended the adventure. All who attended had a great time and felt they grew closer to God as well as each other.

day. The festivities began at 9:00 a.m. with the parade. An added bonus this year were the large tents filled with tables and chairs set in the park, where people could gather in comfort to eat or watch events or just visit. Following the parade the games began, with ring toss, ring the bell, sack races, bounce houses and a horse shoe tournament. The cheerleaders hosted a very popular car bash. The frozen tee shirt relay and egg toss contests were fun to watch. Food and vendor booths were set up in the park and lunch was served in the school lunchroom. The swimming pool was open for free swimming in the afternoon, and the swimming and diving contests were fun! There were many drawings in the afternoon for both youth and adults. There was also a duck race at the pool. Joanne Ratledge was the
lucky winner of the first prize of $300, Hope Gonzales won $200 for second place and Jamie Crawford third prize of $100. One of the most popular events was the backseat driving contest with 25 couples competing. Third place winners were Teresa Colantonio and her mother Jennifer - they received steak dinners at Antlers. Hope and Paco Gonzales took second place, winning $50 each, first place went to Crystal and Carl Deaton, winning the prize of two free oil changes at Whitham Enter-
prises. Twelve teams competed in the Mud Volleyball tournament. All participants received a t-shirt. Winners were the young lifeguard team. At 5:00 p.m. the fire department served hamburgers, hot dogs and a catfish supper in the firehouse. A freewill offering was taken to help pay for the grand fireworks display at 10:00 p.m. The catfish was donated by Henry and Joyce Smith. The firemen served 275 people. The firemen are in charge of the show, which seems to be better each year!
What is a parade without horses? Well Moscow wouldn’t know!
