The
Hugoton
Hermes
Commissioners meet in regular session The Stevens County Board of County Commissioners met in regular session Monday, July 18, 2016 with all members, Pat Hall, Joe D. Thompson and Dave Bozone present. Also present were County Counselor Paul Kitzke, County Clerk Pam Bensel, RoGlenda Coulter from The Hermes and District Three Candidates Steve Davis and Tron Stegman. When this reporter arrived, the Commissioners were finishing talking with Eunice from the Library. Mrs. Schroeder told the Commissioners she found where she can get workmen’s comp insurance cheaper than they can get it through the county. Pam is going to look into if that is permissable. They also visited about various other items. Discussion followed of the agreement offered by the City of Hugoton to allow the county to get the whole proposed one cent sales tax revenue if the one cent sales tax passes on the ballot. Otherwise half would go to the City. Motion was made to put the sales tax on the ballot. Discussion took place about where this other
half will go after the two years interlocal agreement with the City runs out. Joe feels it is their responsibility to see where these funds will go because the ballot says it will be for county property tax relief on the ballot. The matter in discussion was when to allow it to sunset in two years or five years. Dave said other counties collect a sales tax. He wondered if they also have to share this with the city or if they all have agreements. Motion was still on the floor. It was asked if the two years would be a deal breaker. It seems a lot of the public is in favor of the sales tax, this way even residents who do not own property are sharing in the tax. Motion passed to put the sales tax on the ballot. A resolution is to be published in The Hermes. Tony Martin gave his report for the Road and Bridge. They are chip sealing and doing lots of patching. They discussed turning some paved roads back to gravel. It was agreed a committee would need to be formed to make the decisions of what roads would be picked for this along with a traffic study. Tony agreed that
this is surely to come but not just yet. The Fitness Center was the next subject. Along with the Center - the lots near the manor were discussed. It was suggested to put them all up for auction. The lots are costing a lot in special taxes each year. Joe said he would like to wait on the Fitness Center and see if the costs can be brought down and revenue brought up. But Dave pointed out Pat is right in saying costs will crop up - like building costs and upkeep. Pat said there is no way that department will not keep costing money and there are two people interested right now in buying it and running it as a business. Steve Davis commented that if it is put up for bids - anyone could buy it and turn it into something other than a Fitness Center. Tron said he leans toward Joe, thinking, keep it for six months and see how it works out with the cuts and changes. He said he has seen a card system work in other places. Dave said he felt it could be tabled for now. Rodney Kelling came in and needed an executive

Storm Chasers win State
The Stevens County Storm Chasers Ball Club played in the NBC Hap Dumont State 13U Tournament in Park City, July 8-10, 2016. Twenty-seven teams were competing for the titles in the Red and Blue brackets. The team started off slow Friday playing the Wichita Stars
and Ark City in Pool Play, losing both games. After seeding was determined, the team played in the blue single elimination bracket. Their first game of bracket play Saturday, the team played the NE Rivals. The boys defeated them 10-2 in the sixth inning by
run rule. Jayce Korf started on the mound and Riggs Martin came in as relief pitcher to finish the game, sending the NE Rivals home and advancing the Storm Chasers to Sunday, the last day of the tournament. Next, they faced the Continued to page 5

EcoDevo opts to eliminate its director position
Where in the World is The Hugoton Hermes? The newspaper was able to travel all the way to Cuba with Glenda McComack June 6-17 during her missions trip to teach children, and to instruct teachers about Sunday School. She ministered to children in their homes, at church and even some cancer patients in the hospital. Glenda says she was extremely impressed with the residents’ positive, cheerful attitudes even though they have so little.
The Stevens County Economic Development Board met Tuesday, July 12, 2016 at the Senior Center craft room at noon for their regular July meeting. Attending the meeting were EcoDevo Director Neal Gillespie, Secretary Alisha Owens, Stevens County Commissioner Joe D.

The Stevens County Board of County Commissioners met in a special session 8:30 a.m. Thursday, July 14, 2016 with all Commissioners, Pat Hall, Joe D. Thompson and Dave Bozone present. Also present were County Clerk Pam Bensel, RoGlenda Coulter from The Hugoton Hermes and a very large number of concerned people. The special session was called for a budget workshop. Teresa, the Stevens County Accountant, was present and had a screen set up to show the Commissioners details of the county’s budget. Upon seeing how many people were showing up and still coming, the meeting was moved upstairs to the courtroom, where the room filled to capacity also. The very large crowd was mostly there due to concerns about losing the Fitness Center. Pat explained the valuation is tremendously low now due to the oil and gas. He said the Commissioners understand how this large number of citizens want to keep things the
same, but this would mean raising taxes a lot to keep them even close to the same. There are even more residents of Stevens County - some on limited incomes - who are not in favor of using tax money to pay for the Fitness Center. The Commissioners think the answer may be for a private individual or even a coop, made up of the people who use the center, to take it over. Robert Rich from the Fitness Center presented the budget including cuts he had been able to make. He told about the key card system he had been studying from other towns and what good results they were having. The card system would eliminate the need for billing as the billing would be all automatic and come via direct pay. This would allow for an increase in price for membership. Robert has also been working at finding donors to help them fund the Fitness Center and told of a significant amount that has been offered. He had met with the council for the City of Hugoton, the Recreation
Commission and USD 210. They are willing to help in some way. It might even be a possibility to move the Fitness Center into the east Rec building. This would not provide a walking track though, and the Rec would be concerned about insurance and utilities. Concerns about the key card system were discussed. The hours would be somewhere around 5:00 p.m. until Robert comes to work at 5:00 a.m. This would make the facility available 24 hours a day to paid members to the key card system. Curtis Crawford has a camera system for Robert to use to monitor the center during these hours. As good as all that sounds - the commissioners commented the county would still be responsible for some of the money going into the Fitness Center. The tax money has to be used first for health and safety of the tax payers. Commissioners asked if the people there would be willing to pay double to keep it open - and most Continued to page 10

Be a wise and frugal shopper While many grocery buyers feel the pinch of price increases, there’s a way today’s smart, frugal shoppers can save money on the family food bill. Some may see a ten to 15 percent savings. On the average food bill, this could mean $600 - $1,000 a year. Most shoppers, my wife is one of the best, have compiled a list of cost-cutting ideas. Here are some effective ways to save at the checkout counter. First, smart shoppers should know what they are buying. Today’s modern supermarkets carry as many as 50,000 items. This number has tripled from the 15,000 items back in 1980. Product information is essential in selecting the best buy. This requires reading, listening and studying. For example, the product label is a source of information on nutrition, menu use, quantity and quality of the food item. Secondly, cost-conscious shoppers must buy when and where the price is right. There are many times to buy on special, buy store or generic brands or buy in quantity, if shoppers keep abreast of the price practices of our highly competitive supermarkets. Comparative shopping leads to savings because different stores usually specialize in different items. Shopper loyalty cards may be another
way to save on the family food bill. Accurate record keeping has become an important part of a smart shopping routine. Money-saving ideas take time but result in time well spent. One-half hour of planning before each shopping trip can result in substantial savings. Cost-conscious shoppers influence the entire food industry. If shoppers do not check prices, retailers may display items that sell by saturation advertising or gimmick packaging which increase food costs. Retailers who respond to cost-conscious shoppers must look for the best buy from suppliers. Farmers who fill these orders must make the best use of their resources to meet the competition. Smart shopping can bring satisfaction instead of frustration. Initially, this satisfaction results from actual savings in the family’s food budget. Secondly, the wise shopper realizes intelligent buying keeps our food industry the best in the world. Securing the most for your food dollar is significant to every consumer. It is worth the effort.

Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas, his writing reflects a lifetime of experience, knowledge and passion.

up the responsibilities of EcoDevo into sub-committees. Thompson stated the county is most concerned in providing essential services such as public safety, keeping the hospital and maintaining the roads. Director Gillespie offered to be available if EcoDevo should need a consultant for any special projects that may come up. The board discussed paying Alisha extra for her labor involving activities of EcoDevo. The board also agreed to have a special meeting to discuss establishing sub-committees. Director Gillespie suggested postponing the application for the E Community project until next year. The board approved this suggestion. Neal stated he received a copy of the new Strategic Plan. The board now needs to schedule a meeting with Liz Sosa to go over the plan.

Improve your ice cream game with new recipes Ice cream is a popular dessert enjoyed across the globe. Blending the cold and the creamy, ice cream is an ideal treat on a hot day. According to IceCream.com, 87 percent of Americans have ice cream in their freezer at any given time. While Americans may enjoy their ice cream, New Zealand consumes more ice cream than any country in the world. Historians and foodies believe Ancient Greeks enjoyed a dessert similar to ice cream as early as the fifth century B.C. Considering ice cream has been around so long, and that many cultures have created their own take on frozen treats, from gelato to sorbet to frozen yogurts, one may think there aren’t many new ways to indulge in this beloved dessert.
But with a little creativity, anyone can come up with innovative ways to serve ice cream or any of its frozen cousins. The following are just a few different recipe inspirations. 1. Lightly butter flour tortillas and sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar. Drape the tortillas over the rungs of the shelves in an oven, placing a cookie sheet underneath to catch any drips. Bake at 300 F until just crisp. Fill with your favorite ice cream for some frozen dessert tacos. 2. Create your own ice cream sandwiches from any firm cookies or dessert bars you have on hand. For example, cut two thin slices of fudge brownies. Spread softened ice cream in a complementary flavor, such as peanut butter or black cherry vanilla, in
These are
between the brownie sandwich pieces. Freeze to firm everything up and make it easier to eat. 3. Fried ice cream pairs the seemingly incompatible frozen dessert with heat. Freeze scoops of ice cream until they are solid, dip them in an egg wash and coat with crushed cookie crumbs. You can then refreeze the finished ice cream balls and have them set to fry in time for dessert. 4. Ice cream and frozen waffles make a quick dessert in a pinch. Raid the freezer for the ingredients, toast the waffles and then sandwich with ice cream. Top with fresh fruit and whipped cream, if desired. 5. Spoon your favorite cookie dough into a muffin tin and mold the dough so it lines the individual cups of the tin. Bake until firm and let cool. Use the cookie cups to make little ice cream sundae holders for parties. Their diminutive size makes them ideal for kids. 6. Whip up your own ice cream cake. Place a thin layer of any flavor cake on the bottom of a dish or pan that can be placed into the freezer. Scoop softened ice cream on top, then continue to layer as desired, finishing with ice cream as the final layer.

State Champs Wichita Raiders with Gerardo Garcia as starting pitcher and was relieved on the mound by Riggs Martin for a few innings, then Jayce Korf closed the fifth inning, ending the game with a score of 15-4 also sending the Wichita Raiders home. With the two bracket wins under their belt, the team advanced to the State Championship Finals Sunday afternoon. The Storm Chasers faced the Wichita Tribe, which was a solid team and their best competition in the tournament thus far. Chay Burnett was on the mound throwing 125 pitches, completing five innings and two outs of the sixth, when Riggs Martin returned to close the sixth inning’s last out and complete the seventh inning. The Storm Chasers gave up two walks and two base hits in the first inning. At the end of the first inning the score was 0-4. The
team held the Tribe to only one run in the second inning, and they were able to move Cody Perez with a solid hit up the center. Tate Seabolt’s walk advanced him home to score two runs with the assistance of Burnett and Wyatt Angell’s RBIs. The Tribe remained scoreless in the third inning by shutting down their first three hitters. The Storm Chasers had a big third inning scoring seven runs! Those runs included Daharsh, Korf, Harper, Garcia, Perez, Seabolt and Riggs Martin with a perfectly timed triple scoring three RBIs. The Storm Chasers limited the Tribe to only one run in the fourth and fifth innings while the Stevens County team squeaked in two more runs. At the top of the fifth inning the Wichita Tribe was 7 and SV Storm Chasers were 11. The Tribe battled back in the sixth

Continued from page 1 and seventh inning, scoring four runs to tie up the ball game in the seventh inning. The Storm Chasers were home team, so they had last bat and needed to score just one run to win the game. Tate Seabolt was up first and was walked, then Cody Perez was up, hitting a timely base hit up the center advancing Tate to second base. Wyatt Angell did a job and successfully dropped a perfect bunt to make it to first base moving Tate and Cody around. Bases were loaded with no outs. The next hitters hit a pop fly to center and struck out, leaving the bases loaded, score tied 11-11 with Haden Daharsh the team’s Lead-off Hitter up to bat. Haden had a much needed timely base hit between third and shortstop, allowing Tate to score the winning run ending the game with the Storm Chasers on top 12-11!

A Note from the Coaches of the Stevens County Storm Chasers There are a few more aspects of this tournament the coaches would like to point out. “Our team has always played games with 75 minute time limits. The NBC rules stated there were no time limits and you either had to play a full seven innings or end the game in a run rule. Our boys played five and a half straight hours of baseball, back to back to come out of it as State Champions. Every single player made key plays especially in the outfield and behind the plate when we needed them most and I could not have been any more proud of them than I already was. We would especially like to recognize all of you in the community who supported our team through fundraising, as we could not do this without your help. We must acknowledge the boys’ families’ support, willingness to help in any way and their TEAM SPIRIT. These boys will always have this moment in time to keep forever. They came together as a team and they’re leaving as brothers. Four years STRONG!” Respectfully, Coaches Gena Burnett, CJ Korf and Amber Perez

Elusive Pokemon GO characters have been spotted at many Kansas state parks and nature centers, and there’s no better time to join the chase. The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) welcomes Pokemon hunters stalking the virtual critters that have popped up at some of the most picturesque and educational places in Kansas. The game is an exciting new way to get outdoors and enjoy all that natural Kansas has to offer. “Pokemon GO is both fun and distracting, so we encourage players to use common sense and follow certain safety precautions while on a Pokemon quest,” said Linda Lanterman, State Parks Director. Some of the basic safety rules include: • Be aware of your surroundings, especially along trails, roads, cliffs, stream banks and lakes. It is important to watch where you place your feet to avoid a fall, poison ivy or a venomous snake. • Stay on trails and don’t drive off roads into unauthorized areas. • Don’t trespass on private property which may be adjacent to park boundaries, and don’t enter someone else’s campsite or recreational vehicle. • Don’t operate a vehicle or boat while distracted by the game. Watch for pedestrians, bicyclists and wildlife along roads, around boat docks and in parking areas. State park entrance fees still apply. Any vehicle entering a Kansas state park must have either an annual entrance permit or a daily entrance permit. The daily entrance permit is $5 and is available at the entrance gatehouse or kiosk. All state parks are open 24 hours, except for Kaw River State Park, which is open from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and Prairie Spirit Trail, which is open during daylight hours only. Players can use the self-pay stations if a park office is closed. KDWPT sports 26 state parks and six nature centers where visitors can enjoy the outdoors and learn about the natural history of Kansas. For information about the state parks and nature centers, visit ksoutdoors.com and click on either “State Parks” or “Education”. Submitted by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.
against some tough competition that included teams from Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado and Kansas. The 10 under team was led this weekend by their starting pitcher, Hailey Van Beekum, who recorded an impressive 36 strikeouts in three games. In two games against Guymon's Oklahoma Storm she racked up 30 alone. In day one The blues went one and one with a win against Oklahoma Storm and a loss to the Fusion. Saturday night the blues started bracket play against the Storm in a rematch from Friday. The Blues battled for three innings before falling 10 to 0 in five. The Blues’ offense was not able to get it going and stranded six base runners, while the Storm offense turned on the hitting in the late innings scoring nine of their runs in the last two
innings. Other notable stat leaders were Emma Cornelsen who went six for eight with three R.B.I.'s. Scoring came from Amanda Farnum, Elyce Sisseck, Sahari Valles and Maedeen McClure The Blues 12 under team had to wait until Saturday to get things started due to rainouts Friday night. The Blues struggled in pool play losing both games. Sunday the 12s came out rejuvenated and played two great games. In game one, the Blues took on the number two seed Lamar All-Stars and played a complete game. Blues’ small ball offense flustered Lamar, leading the Blues to take an early lead they would hold on to for the win five to four. The Blues shortstop Marrine Williams and first base Stefanny Villia helped keep Lamar from completing a much needed comeback.
In game two, the Blues offense again jumped on Oklahoma Rampage, scoring five in the first inning. Unfortunately the Blues were not able to withstand the Rampage's power hitting offense and fell 13 to 6. Stat leaders for the 12s were Milly McClure who recorded 14 strikeouts, four hits, seven stolen bases, and a homerun. Ivonne Chavez four hits, five stolen bases, Emily Urquidis three runs. Kenzie Garza three hits, Gianna two hits one triple. Blues’ 18 under starting pitcher, Meaghan McClure, competed on an SPIAA allstar team the last two weekends. Last weekend she helped SPIAA take State Champions in Kansas Babe Ruth League. This weekend SPIAA finished third at Regional in Eads, Co. Great season Blues!

Thursday, July 27, 1961 Temporary motor boating and water skiing moved closer to Hugoton as a result of the torrential rains which dropped an estimated six to seven inches in the Bethel community and the area south and southwest of Woods. Bob Nease, game warden, reported several skiers and a boat on huge lakes in the area. The lakes were on the Kay Skinner and Donald Hall farms, ten miles east of Hugoton and three miles south. Skiers were also
reported on the Jack Littell farm 81/2 miles south of Woods. The lakes were reportedly estimated at 12 to 15 feet deep and covered several hundred acres. However, since the rains have stopped, the lakes will soon evaporate. Thursday, July 26, 1951 Mark Steven Webb, the first baby born in the Stevens County Hospital, will be one year old July 29, 1951.

Support for Fitness Center Continued from page 1 said they would. The group was reminded next year may be even worse - do they want to turn around and do this all over again? Elaine Rowden from the Fitness Center asked if they could have some extra time to work to find an answer. Pat said the budget does have to be in to their accountant soon. Pat said he had been approached by two individuals who are interested in opening the Center as a business endeavor. Elaine expressed her appreciation to the Commissioners for their support over the years. Commissioners tried to explain the natural gas is just no longer here to pay the taxes anymore. The burden has shifted to the people to pay now. Elaine again asked if the Commissioners’ minds

were set or if they could have some more time to find more options. They have gone to other entities and were unable to ask them because they had already had their meetings. Others will not give them a strong commitment although they expressed interest. Pat admitted everyone is struggling to make it. Commissioners still think private investors or the possibility of a coop would be the best way to go. It was asked just how much the building would be sold for. Pat said it might be possible to sell the building and the contents at a good price so it could be kept intact. If it was sold to a private investor and kept as a business - then it will be added to the tax rolls. Dave reminded this may not be a
possibility because the building, if sold, would have to be by auction or sealed bids by law. Robert said then anybody might buy it - meaning another kind of business. Pat wondered if the wording could stipulate that the facility remains the same. After doing research on other county commissioner salary rates, it was brought up, by one of the people attending, the Stevens County Commissioners get paid well above other counties. It was suggested the Commissioners clean house also. It was proposed/suggested the rate of the Commissioners’ office be set at no more that $15,000 a year. That would save a considerable amount of money. Pat said he would make the motion right now to

take a ten percent pay cut. How much does that come to? Approximately $2600. savings per Commissioner. It was suggested good quality people may not be willing to run if the pay is not good. Jim Gooch said he didn’t agree with that as he knows other county commissioners who are good quality individuals. Dave said they already cut out most traveling and pay some out of their own pockets. It was asked how much increase in membership it would take to cover the cost for the Fitness Center. Commissioners said three times as much. Dave said they

need to check with Paul about moving it to a coop instead of going to auction. Pat reminded although taxes will raise some - they are doing all they can to keep the raise low. Commissioners thanked those who came and the Commissioners were thanked in return. The issue was tabled for now. The Commissioners moved back to the Commissioners’ room. The Commissioners’ room filled with the various county department heads to hear about the budget. Teresa asked if they wanted to keep the Fitness Center at budget neutral for now. It was agreed to do that. How long? It can be built in to the budget then if the funding does not come in - it can be abolished. Motion was made to cut the Commissioners’ salary ten percent. Motion passed unanimously. Some things need to not be cut - as with the tax lid Stevens County will be stuck with this for the next five years. It could even go longer.

$3.41 per gallon in 2014 and $3.63 per gallon in 2015. Areas nearby and their current gas price climate: Wichita - $2.04 per gallon, down 2.2 cents per gallon from last week's $2.06 per gallon; Lincoln - $2.26 per gallon, down 0.6 cents per gallon from last week's $2.27 per gallon; Topeka - $1.97 per gallon, down 2.4 cents per gallon from last week's $1.99 per gallon. "Summer travel is up, and yet, gas prices continue to decline? We know that seems perplexing for many, but that's exactly what's happen-
ing and it all comes down to those most basic fundamentals; supply and demand," said Gregg Laskoski, senior petroleum analyst for Gas Buddy.com. "Despite fuel consumption near record levels, U.S. gasoline inventory recently reached the highest July level ever recorded (240.1 million bbl) and, concurrently, the national average has continued its consistent decline," he added.

It has been a privilege to serve the great people of Stevens County over the last twenty years. I currently serve on the board at First Christian Church, the Stevens County Extension Council, the Stevens County Fair Association, and I’m a member of the Stevens County Zoning Board. In 2008, I graduated from the Kansas Agricultural Rural Leadership program. In the past I have served as the President of the Stevens County Farm Bureau Association as well as 8 years on the USD 210 Board of Education, including 3 years as President. I want to continue to make Stevens County the same great place I chose to raise my family in.
I believe that because of my proven leadership, I am the best qualified candidate to lead Stevens County. The Stevens County Medical Foundation helps many entities in the county, including EMS. They have donated or helped fund ambulance lifts, backboards and CPR dummies.
Anna Rome is excited to serve her community as a nurse, thanks in part to her nursing scholarship courtesy of the Stevens County Medical Foundation.
The Medical Foundation has helped Pioneer Manor with the purchase of outdoor swings, white boards for each room, bath lift and mattresses.

KDA seeks participants for statewide survey of specialty crops The Kansas Department of Agriculture and K-State Research and Extension are seeking specialty crop producers to participate in the Statewide Survey of Specialty Crop Production. A specialty crop is defined by the USDA as fruits, vegetables, tree nuts and dried fruits, as well as horticulture and nursery crops, including floriculture. In this region, a shift has occurred in the way food is produced, distributed, prepared, and valued by the public. Consumer demand for fresh produce grown in Kansas greatly exceeds the supply that our specialty crop producers can provide. Although the development of specialty crop production is exciting for both producers
Market Report
and consumers of local food, it presents a number of challenges due to limited regional production history. The purpose of this survey is to investigate the economic impact of specialty crop growers in Kansas and their effect on local food systems. Information gained from this survey will allow KDA to better promote the specialty crop industry in the state. It will also help identify and prioritize what tools can be provided to encourage the growth of the agriculture industry to meet the demand of specialty crops and to increase the competitiveness of specialty crops in Kansas. As an incentive for completing the survey, KDA will provide metal signs to partic-

The Stevens County Fair is approaching quickly - July 2330 - and that means there will be fun galore for all ages! While many people are drawn to fairs by the entertainment, just as many are willing to stand in line for the unique and tasty foods that seem to embody fair and carnival fun. If it can be served on a stick or deep fried, chances are you can find it at a fair. Everything from chocolate-dipped bacon to deep-fried butter may turn up on fair stand menus. The following are some of the more coveted foods revelers can expect to find at their local fairs and carnivals. • Funnel cake: Funnel cake and it’s close cousin, zeppole, have long been fair favorites. Topped with powdered sugar, funnel cakes can be pulled apart and shared with others. • Corn dogs: Corn dogs are essentially hot dogs on a stick that have been covered in cornmeal and fried. Like funnel cakes, corn dogs have become so synonymous with fairs and carnivals that few people have ever enjoyed them anywhere outside of their local fairgrounds. • French fries: French fries are a favorite at fairs, and carnival-goers can choose from savory shoestrings to hearty steak-cut potato chunks.
• Cotton candy: What fair would be complete without a cotton candy vendor? Cotton candy is made by heating up granulated sugar until it is liquified enough to be blown into thin threads. Those threads are collected and wound into a sweet treat that is loved by kids and adults alike. • Pie: Fair-goers are likely to happen upon a pie-eating contest or pie-tasting tent. Many prefer to indulge in a piece of pie while at the fair, preferring such treats to sweeter, heavier desserts. • Corn on the cob: Corn on the cob is proof that carnivals and fairs provide some healthy fare for customers in addition to the many decadent treats on display. Corn on the cob is most popular in corn-producing areas and can be the ideal complement to burgers and other fair foods. • Anything on a stick: Each year fair vendors experiment with culinary oddities that can be served on a stick. One day it may be skewered pork chops and the next a sleeve of cookies. Those who want the full fair experience should consider trying something served on a stick.

Tips for landing a summer bass It’s hard to think about fishing on a sweltering summer day, but when the sun sinks toward the western horizon, everything changes. Warm water and direct sun make the bass sluggish during the day, but as evening temperatures cool, the fishing can get hot. Now it’s time to grab your bass rods and find the nearest farm pond, state fishing lake or community lake. Pick a shady shoreline and look for brush, docks, vegetation – anything providing dark hiding places for bass. Start out with a weedless plastic bait that can be flipped right into the cover. Fish slow and thoroughly, hitting every visible bass lair. Bass are ambush hunters and a slow meal dropped right in front of them can be irresistible. As daylight fades and the breeze dies, tie on a topwater bait just for fun. There’s nothing like the thrill of a bass exploding on a surface lure. Fish will be more spread out now, so cast along the shore and any weedbed edges. Land the bait as close to the edge as possible, then let it sit for several seconds. Twitch it tantalizingly several times before beginning to retrieve. And it’s a good idea to pause several times during the retrieve. A brief pause can sometimes be too much for a
Catching the perfect summer bass is possible at many Kansas lakes - just check out the Kansas Fishing Atlas online. bass watching from below, triggering an explosive strike. The anticipation can also be too much for a bass angler. When fishing topwater, wait until you feel the strike before setting the hook. If you rear back as soon as you see and hear the topwater strike, you’ll pull the bait right out of the fish’s mouth. There are thousands of farm ponds tucked away all across Kansas’ countryside, and many have great bass fishing. Anglers need landowner permission to fish private ponds except for those leased by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism and opened to
public fishing through the F.I.S.H. program. To find them, download the 2016 Kansas Fishing Atlas at www.ksoutdoors.com. The atlas contains maps of all F.I.S.H. waters, as well as all other public fishing lakes and reservoirs. You’ll also find the 2016 Kansas Fishing Forecast, which will tell you which public waters have the best bass populations. Don’t just dream about fishing this summer, take advantage of the cooler evenings and explore a Kansas farm pond, local community lake or state fishing lake. The bass are waiting.

Rolla News By Phoebe Brummett
Family reunion is great fun The Clinesmith Williamson - Stout family reunion took place Sunday, July 17. About 50 descendants attended and enjoyed food and fellowship
with fellow cousins. Esther Clinesmith came the longest distance for the reunion. A great time was had by all the families who attended.
The Rolla Alumni Banquet was Saturday, July 16. It was the ninety-fifth banquet. Classes who were attending their 20-25-30-40-50-60 and even seventieth reunions were recognized. Y-4 Smoke House provided an excellent meal for the attendees. Lots of photos were taken with former classmates and former teachers. Laughter abounded
in the old gym as old friends reunited with one another. The Wooden Nickel band put on a great dance and show in the park and people from surrounding communities joined to make it a huge success. The alumni committee has so much appreciation for everyone for their time and effort in making this reunion a huge victory.

Community VBS is fun and educational The community Vacation Bible School for Rolla took place during the week of July 11 through 15 at the Rolla United Methodist Church. Adults from all the area churches helped with this community wide event. Mary Courtney even visited from Manter UMC to help out. Children from Richfield, Dermot and Rolla joined together to participate in the adventure park SonWorld. Jamie Mason and Shawn Schwindt made sure everyone had a nice snack each night. Suzanne Murray kept the craft ideas flowing with Pat Floyd. Arleen Clinesmith was a pirate one night, very fitting for Rolla. Marcus and Beverly Light, Diane and Buzz Lambrecht and Becky Sohm entertained the children with Bible stories about the Son. Rachel Dunn was also on hand to assist where ever she might be needed. Karly Clinesmith was in charge of music. Many other high school helpers and adults came and participated and made sure little hands were kept busy while little hearts were learning about God and His Son. The week concluded with a community potluck supper and the children showed their families what they had been learning during the week. It was a great week that would not have been possible without the adults and student helpers. May God bless you every one!

per two hours of use, compared to 67 cents to a dollar for central air. Use your AC only when necessary and be sure to turn it off when you’re going to be away from home for long periods of time. • Invest in a programmable thermostat. It will automatically adjust the temperature in your house, saving you energy while you’re away or sleeping. • Use insulation with a high R-value. Experts and professionals often use a stone wool product called Roxul ComfortBatt, which can be used to top up the insulation in your attic. Topping up insulation to a depth of 16 inches or an R-value of 50 will help to keep your house cool in the warm weather and take the stress off your air conditioning unit. • Check the tightness of your refrigerator seal by closing the door on a piece of paper. If it’s held in place, the seal is still good. If not, it’s time to replace the seal or fix the door’s alignment. • Only do laundry or dishes when you have full loads. If you have smaller loads, make sure to use the correct settings. If you only have a couple of items, wait it out or wash them by hand. Also consider low-cost DIY projects such as caulking around windows, adding weatherstripping to doors, installing low-flow shower heads, putting aerators on faucets, and switching to energy-efficient LED or compact fluorescent light bulbs for even greater impact.

Rolla history from David Stout All y’all young’uns probably never heard of Bonnie and Clyde from the early 1930s, right? Well, truth be told, I hadn’t either, but back in 1967 a popular movie about them came out, entitled (what else?) Bonnie and Clyde, although I question how historically accurate the movie was. To me, it seemed to be a rather romanticized version of a violent bank robbing couple and their gang who roamed around the central part of the USA during the early 1930s, including Kansas. In any case, while I was a student at KU a year or two after the movie’s release, my sister and her husband once visited me at KU, and for entertainment we went to see the movie. Later that year, while we were all at home in Rolla during some holiday period, we were discussing the movie, and our dad overheard our conversation. “You guys talking about Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker?” Dad asked. “Yes, we are. Did you see
the movie too?” “The movie? What movie?” “The movie about their lives. It came out a couple of years ago.” “Ah hell, I don’t know nuthin’ about no movie. I jist’ met ‘em when they lived over’n Huketun.” “They lived in Hugoton?!” “Sure did. Kind of a rough couple. Wouldn’t wanna’ stick around ‘um very long.” So when would have this been? Well, Bonnie and Clyde were killed from an overdose of bullets ‘n buckshot in Louisiana on May 23, 1934, so it had to be before then. Dad would have been only 17 years old at the time of their divine departure. Looking at their history, they were known to have been in the Joplin, Missouri area in March of 1933, zigging northwest to the Great Bend area in June-July of 1933, and then zagging southwest to Meade during September 1933. It seems feasible for them to have continued their westward trajectory, making

Stop mold before it becomes a problem in home heating and cooling systems, as air conditioners can spread mold around a home. Photo courtesy of Metro Editorial Services.
Control mold when using air conditioning Exposure to mold in a home can be hazardous, leading to any number of adverse health effects, including respiratory distress. Certain strains of mold may release mycotoxins, which can cause bleeding in the lungs and pneumonia. Mold can grow in any dark and damp spot, which makes air conditioning units prime locations for mold proliferation. Mold spores can be circulated through a home via a central air conditioning system or window air conditioning unit. Mold spores in the air are very easy to inhale, especially for young children and elderly people. Air conditioners also are susceptible to mold growth. Preventing mold from becoming a problem means being in tune to indicators that mold may be present, and then taking the necessary actions to eradicate that mold and preventing future growth. Visible mold or a musty smell when operating the air conditioner are prime indicators of a problem. If you suspect mold has infiltrated your air conditioning system, consider these tips. • Keep equipment clean. Routinely clean dirt and debris out of air conditioning ducts and equipment. Pay special attention to organic matter, such as dirt, that may come in from outdoors. • Eliminate water sources. Standing water presents an ideal breeding ground for mold. If there is excess water present in or around the system, have

your AC unit serviced. • Change the filter. Many manufacturers recommend change an HVAC filters and window unit filters once every three months at a minimum. This can prevent mold growth and reduce allergens like dust and dirt that circulate through the air. • Clean up the mold. Homeowners may be able to clean up a minor mold problem, but larger issues are best left to a professional. Exposure to mold can put a person and the entire household at risk, especially if mold spores are disrupted. Air conditioning repair companies and mold-removal specialists are better equipped to clean and contain mold. If you clean a window unit, make sure that all components are completely dry before reassembling the parts. Damp conditions can lead to more mold. Air conditioning can be a lifesaver during the summer. But men and women must make sure mold doesn’t become a problem while their AC systems are in use. Submitted by Metro Editorial Services.

“The Evolving Universe” is at the Stauth Memorial Museum The cosmos constantly changes. Stars are born, live out their lives, and die sometimes calmly, sometimes explosively. Galaxies form, grow, and collide dramatically. This exhibition and Web site which was developed by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, and circulated by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service; reveals the dynamic and evolving universe through breathtaking photographs and informative captions. "The Evolving Universe" explores how the stars, galaxies and universe undergo the same stages as life on Earth: from birth, to maturity and, eventually, to death. This remarkable journey from present-day Earth to the far reaches of space and time will be on view at the Stauth Memorial Museum through August 14, 2016, and will then continue to travel on an exciting twelve city tour through 2017. A worldwide audience also can experience the exhibition through its Web site, located at www.mnh.si.edu/ exhibits/evolving-universe. All of the images featured in
the museum gallery can be downloaded in high-resolution jpegs or PDFs formatted in poster size. Visitors to the exhibition or Web site can choose one of two paths to explore the cosmos. They can begin close to home with our solar system and move outward to the farthest reaches of the universe. Or they can begin 13.7 billion years ago at the moment of the Big Bang and move forward in time to the present day. Along their journey they will learn how a variety of telescopes and instruments, many developed by SAO, reveal the fascinating history of the expanding universe. In addition to telescopic images from space, researchers are actively investigating microscopic images of meteorites found on Earth. Their composition reveals what changes have taken place in the universe during the passage of billions of years while the Earth was still in formation, well before humans even existed. All of the elements - the raw materials that make up everything in the universe, including the Earth and human bodies are formed within stars and released into space when stars die. Visitors may be
surprised to learn that their bodies are composed of this stardust and will be able to see an example of interstellar diamond dust found in a meteorite in 1969. This will join the compelling visuals and epic stories of supernovas, stellar nurseries, nebulae and galaxy clusters revealing the fascinating history of the expanding universe. Now that summer is here and it is nice and hot outside, doesn’t an adventure to a climate controlled building sound great?! The museum is a great place for the family on the weekend, or if you just want to go cool down in the afternoon, they would love to have you experience this amazing, once in a lifetime exhibit! Many tours are expected for this exhibit so please call in advance for groups of five or more! Tours/groups welcome by appointment, contact 620846-2527 for information or to set up a tour.
