The maintenence of the building was great also. Pioneer Manor has a right to be proud of their facility. Congratulations to you all!

Quilts of Valor is a nationwide organization honoring active service members and veterans who have been touched by war with comforting and healing handmade quilts. Kim Heger of Hugoton is a member of this organization. She made a beautiful quilt to honor Stephen Morris. Morris served in the United States Air Force from 1969 until retiring in 1991. Stephen Richard Morris received several military honors for his courageous actions while serving in the U S Air Force. He was honored with two USAF Air Medals for combat missions flown, flying over 150 combat missions in southeast Asia during
the Vietnam War. Morris was stationed overseas at Thailand, Spain and the UK in addition to serving stateside. From 1989-1991, Major Morris was the commander of the Air Force Academy Liaison Officer unit in Kansas. During those years he helped 51 young people receive appointments to the Air Force Academy including Major General Scott Kinsuater from Dodge City. Kim Heger of Hugoton considers it a privilege to sew these many airplane quilt blocks together to form a Quilt of Valor for such an outstanding pilot Commander Morris. Each plane represents a safe See VALOR, page 3
Kim Heger presents Stephen Morris with his Quilt of Valor. Steve received his quilt early, as he is unable to attend Thursday’s presentation at the Stevens County Fair. Thank you for your service Steve!

Consumer Corner by Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt
Do your research, get inspections to avoid car-buying pitfalls “The temperatures are getting hot – and so are the deals.” You’ve probably heard advertisements like this on your radio or TV this time of year from auto dealerships especially used-car dealerships - looking to drum up summer sales. It is a common time of year for Kansans to be out car shopping. While there may be deals to be had, complaints regarding used car sales are consistently among the top categories of complaints received by our Consumer Protection Division. In fact, it’s been one of the top five categories every year for the past five years. Many issues in used car sales arise because the buyer is at a disadvantage, without the full knowledge of the condition of the vehicle. While sellers are required to
disclose information regarding any mechanical problems the vehicle may have, it’s also important for the buyer to do some research to help level the playing field. Here are a few tips to help you learn as much as you can before you buy: • Ask the dealer for title history as well as a report of any accidents the vehicle has been involved in. • Have the vehicle inspected by an independent mechanic to alert you to any mechanical issues with the vehicle. • Review the maintenance records of the vehicle from the owner, dealer or repair shop. • Find out whether the vehicle is still under factory warranty and when that warranty expires. • Check online forums for
any known issues with the particular year, make and model of the car. • Test drive the car in different conditions, including highways, hill and in stopand-go traffic. • The dealer is required to provide a title for all used vehicles within 60 days of the purchase. When you’re ready to buy, make sure you get all promises and representations in writing. As an important reminder when buying or selling used cars: “as-is” sales are not legal in Kansas unless the defects are disclosed to the buyer. Putting this information in writing is always a good idea to avoid future disagreements. To learn more about staying safe when purchasing a car and other consumer transaction, visit our consumer protection Web site at InYourCornerKansas.org or call (800) 432-2310.

From page 1 began farming the family farm four and a half miles west of Hugoton. They moved into a new home nine miles west of Hugoton in 1983 where Don lives today. Nancy passed March 21, 2016. They had been married for 63 years. Nancy was known for her cooking and beautiful award winning poetry. Don attended grade school at the Liberty, High Point and Daisy Dale Country Schools. He attended grades eight through 12 at Hugoton graduating with the Class of 1953. Don was very active in the FFA Program. He was known as “Duke” or “Donnie”. His high school freshman year he ran the 1⁄2 mile at the KU relay and played football. A broken leg during the football season ended his track career. Don’s actual farming carrer started at the age of ten,
helping his dad with the farm. They had wide respect from area auctioneers and fellow farmers. Over the years he grew dryland and irrigated crops including wheat, milo, soybeans, corn sunflowers, alfalfa and feed. He also raised cattle, hogs and chickens. Don was an active member of the Hugoton Jaycees, Men’s Mixed Doubles and Traveling League Bowling Team as a bowler and coach. Don and Nancy had two children - Chad L. Olinger of Emporia and Dawnel Newton and late husband Jeff of Rolla. Grandchildren are Shane and Cassi Olinger and children Braydon, Nicholas, Cayden and Alexia Johnson all from Emporia, Adam Newton and companion Jessi Peek of Colorado, Starburst and Mark Murphy and children Liam and Case from Wichita. Both Chad and Dawnel
were active bowlers and loved racing motorcycles. These activities were a big part of the family’s life over many different states competing in scramble, short track, half-mile and mile tracks. They were the only brother and sister to become #1 in the State of Kansas. Grandson Shane made them proud grandparents when he became a college graduate while working and supporting a family. Don and Nancy supported high school sports with daughter Dawnel, grandkids and great grand kids as they participated in football, volleyball, track, gymnastics, scholar’s bowl, cross country, soccer, cheerleading, softball and t-ball.

“ You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.” —Luke 6:15 NIV
H
ow much of our daily speech is devoted to justifying ourselves to others, explaining why we did something or trying to correct possible misunderstandings? We really should stop justifying ourselves. If others think poorly of us, so be it. Self-justification is an ego trip and is almost always an attempt to salvage our pride or manipulate others into thinking well of us. Others are usually not thinking enough about us for there to be a need to justify ourselves; they are busy thinking of themselves! Keep things simple, and let your yes be yes and your no be no. Perhaps the best example of this was how Jesus responded to Pilate’s questions, when he knew that his very life was at stake. (Matthew 27:1114) He wasn’t quick to justify Himself and appeared to not even defend himself. Others may tear you down and go to great lengths to damage your reputation or assassinate your character, but trust that God knows the truth, and you won’t need to justify your motives to Him. He knows the truth and sees your heart more clearly than even you do.

Kansas Weekly Gas Prices Gas Buddy.com
Hugoton Gas Prices As of Tuesday, July 24 Brown Dupree - $2.59 Eagles Landing - $2.66 Kangaroo Express -$2.65 Carter’s - $2.67 Toot N Totum - $2.65 Gasoline prices in Kansas have fallen 2.9 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.62 per gallon Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 1,329 stations in Kansas. This compares with the national average that has fallen 4.4 cents per gallon versus last week to $2.82 per gallon, according to GasBuddy. Average gasoline prices on July 23 in Kansas have ranged widely over the last five years: $2.09 per gallon in 2017, $2.02 per gallon in 2016, $2.66 per gallon in 2015, $3.35 per gallon in 2014 and $3.61 per gallon in 2013. Including the change locally during the past week, prices Sunday were 53.4 cents per gallon higher than a year ago and are 2.0 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has dropped 1.6 cents per gallon during the last
month and stands 55.4 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. "Last week saw a small party at the pump - gas prices in nearly all states moved lower as the national average fell to its lowest in 75 days," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "With Libya resuming oil exports, oil prices have been under pressure the last two weeks, falling briefly under $68 per barrel last week, closing out the week far lower than two weeks ago when oil prices touched $75. In addition, signs are pointing to greater oil production from both Russia and Saudi Arabia, further tempering fears of too little supply. It has been the large drop in the price of crude oil that has opened the door for gasoline and diesel prices to move lower for the time being. More good news? Retail gas prices still have some downward movement coming to catch up to the recent drop in oil." For LIVE fuel price averages, visit FuelInsights.Gas Buddy.com.

Dr. Colyer is one of the seven Republican candidates running for Kansas Governor in this fall’s election. His running mate is Tracey Mann.
Moran co-sponsors Secure Elections Act U.S. Senator Jerry Moran joined a bipartisan group of senators to cosponsor the Secure Elections Act. In the wake of Russian interference in the 2016 elections, the Secure Elections Act would strengthen America’s election cybersecurity and protect against potential foreign interference by streamlining cybersecurity information sharing between the federal intelligence community and state election agencies and providing critical resources to local election organizations to replace vulnerable technology. “One of the most sacred privileges we as Americans are afforded is our freedom to participate in democracy through elections,” said Sen. Moran. “Therefore, we must make certain our elections remain honest, secure and free from invasive influences. Concerningly, backend election systems – including voter registration databases, ballot creation systems, voting machine configuration systems, absentee processing and reporting, and tabulation
software – are increasingly vulnerable and have been compromised by both private and state actors. The Secure Elections Act helps better safeguard our systems while reaffirming the leadership role states play in administering federal elections, and I urge my colleagues to support this critical legislation to protect future elections.” The Secure Elections Act was introduced by Senators James Lankford of Oklahoma and Amy Klobuchar of Min-
nesota and is cosponsored by Senators Richard Burr, Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, Kamala Harris, Martin Heinrich, Angus King, Bill Nelson, Mike Rounds and Mark Warner. The Secure Elections Act: • Reaffirms individual state leadership in administering federal elections; • Ensures the federal government promptly shares election cybersecurity threats and information with state, county and municipal election agencies;
• Provides security clearances to appropriate state officials so they can access and act quickly on classified cybersecurity information; • Develops, through a panel of independent experts and an open process, a set of voluntary cybersecurity guidelines for election-related systems; • Provides grants to states for implementation of the cybersecurity guidelines and replacing outdated electronic voting machines.
State records 133 fireworks-related injuries The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) reports at least 133 fireworks-related injuries occurred in the state over the Independence Day holiday week from July 1 through July 7.

greater care needs to be taken when handling fireworks,” said Dr. Greg Lakin, KDHE Chief Medical Officer. “The fun that we can have with fireworks should not outweigh the safety precautions that must be observed to avoid injuries.” The age range with the highest number of injuries was five to 17, closely followed by 18 to 44-year-olds. Of all age groups, more than 63 percent of fireworks injuries involved males.
The KSSP includes approximately 80 percent of all emergency department visits across the state. The KSSP collects information from emergency departments and urgent care clinic visits. This provides KDHE, hospitals and local health departments insight into rapidly changing health conditions in the state. The data is used to describe emerging public health threats and enable the health care community to quickly identify health issues and take action to prevent injury and illness.

Following his graduation from Southwestern State College, Joe spent most of his career in the commercial cattle feeding industry at Supreme Feeders of Liberal, Sunbelt Feeders of Hugoton and HRC Feed Yard LLC of Scott City.

Hugoton Area Chamber of Commerce News The new school year is fast approaching, are you ready? It’s time for parents and students to think about school. The school year officially starts Thursday, August 16 in Hugoton. The back-to-school season can be bittersweet. Parents may miss having their youngsters around the house when summer officially ends, but it’s also fun for parents to watch kids partake in all that school has to offer. A child’s first day of school is a momentous occasion, one that parents and children alike will never forget. For parents, the day might stir memories of their own first day of school all those years ago. For youngsters, the excitement of the first day of school might be accompanied by a little anxiety, as kids don’t always know what to expect.
There are some new faces at school this year along with some other changes. New this year are Delaini DeLaCerda as a KinderPrep Teacher at the ECDC; Mario Hernandez as a Custodian at the ECDC; Ashley Knier as a fifth grade ELA at HES; Sonja Watkins as the Intermediate School Principal; Chris Cox as a janitor at HES; Erica Torres as an Intermediate School teacher. Brenda Borrego Diaz as an ESL/Migrant Aide at HMS; Maddie Rome as an HMS Cheer Sponsor; Abel Adrian Medina as the HMS/HHS Spanish Teacher; former USD 210 Board of Education member Dettra Crawford turned in her resignation and was accepted for hire as the new HHS Physics/ Chemistry/
SCHOOL TIME USD 210 open enrollment is going on now. Live enrollment will be August 3 & 6 in the HHS cafeteria. First Day of School is Thursday, August 16

age children to lay out clothes for the next day and take a shower or bath that evening. • Get to bed earlier. The National Sleep Foundation says school-aged children should get between nine and 11 hours of sleep a night. Teenagers require between eight and ten hours of sleep per night, while adults need between seven and nine hours. • Follow a schedule. Make mornings the same each day so everyone knows what to expect. • Stay organized. Make it a point to return items to their proper places so everyone knows where to look for the items they need. School mornings can be challenging, but with some ingenuity and forethought, the stress can be tamed.

The Hugoton Blues 12U takes third at their tournament in Hutchinson this past weekend! Coach Tom McClure commented, “The girls did very well for their last tournament of the season. I’m proud of these girls who stepped up
this year and took their lumps. They battled many teams older, tougher, and more seasoned than they were. This team had a lot of heart. Our ‘bracket busters’!” Great season Blues!

Concealed carry applications decline The number of Kansans applying for new concealed carry licenses continued to decline in the recently ended 2018 fiscal year, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said Wednesday. Between July 1, 2017, and June 30, 2018, the attorney general’s Concealed Carry Licensing Unit received 4,896 new applications. This was the lowest number of applications received in a fiscal year since the licensing program began in 2006. A legislative change in 2015 allows eligible Kansans to carry concealed without a license. While the number of new applications has waned, most Kansans who already have licenses are choosing to keep their licenses active. The Concealed Carry Licensing Unit received more than 16,000 renewal applications during the 2018 fiscal year. Licenses are still required in most states, and Kansas licenses are currently recognized in 40 states. “Many Kansans continue to
recognize the benefits of obtaining a license, including our reciprocity agreements with other states,” Schmidt said. “We continue to work with other states to ensure Kansas licenses are recognized.” The Kansas Legislature also recently adopted a reduction in the application fee for concealed carry licenses for the 2019 fiscal year. The application fee for new applicants was lowered to $112 from $132.50. The cost for license renewals remains unchanged at $25. Schmidt also encouraged all Kansans who intend to carry firearms to pursue training opportunities. He reminded all Kansans who choose to carry firearms to comply with properly posted signage and all applicable law. Currently, more than 85,000 Kansans have active concealed carry licenses. More information on the concealed carry licensing program is available on the attorney general’s Web site at ag.ks.gov/concealedcarry.

LOOKING BACK History from the Hermes by Ruthie Winget
Thursday, June 30, 1988 Two-year-old Lynette K. Phillips drove the family’s 1982 Dodge pickup on a short excursion which ended in Lake Russell last Friday as her four-year-old sister Katrina sat in the passenger seat. The excitement began as the girl’s mother Mrs. Don Phillips left the girls in the pickup to run into the house to get her purse. She returned to find the pickup headed east on Fifth Street toward Washington. Deputy Steve Lewis reports that Mrs. Phillips called
them at 10:01 asking for help and then got into the family car to pursue her adventurous girls. The officers arrived in time to see the pickup pass over a curb, slam into a sign and head east to Lake Russell with their mother in hot pursuit. The officers charged past Mrs. Phillips and caught up with the two terrified girls just as they turned the pickup into Lake Russell, coming to a stop. A post incident evaluation revealed that little damage had been sustained by the pickup but the girls were terrified. Lewis
remarked they were “pretty shook up.” Thursday, June 30, 1983 Quinton, Gen, Don and Will Martin are preparing to leave as custom cutters. They plan to travel as far north as North Dakota. Friday, September 22, 1922 The champion snake story of this season is told by Isaac Peterson who lives southeast of Ulysses seventeen miles. He says his little girl came to the house and told him she had seen a rattlesnake crawl into a hole and leave its skin. He went to the place and found the
cast off skin as she had said. He dug the snake out, which was about thirty inches long and killed it and little snakes began to crawl out of the same hole. He dug out and killed fifteen snakes about eight or nine inches long besides the mother, which was not a bad hour’s work. And he does not patronize the bootleggers either. If any readers have pictures or memories for the history page of The Hermes, please bring them in to Ruthie Winget at The Hugoton Hermes newspaper.
Warren M. Farrar By Mildred Farrar Fox and Audry Farrar McNutt Our Dad first came to western Kansas as a very young man. He brought goods and supplies from his parents to his two sisters, who, with their husbands were homesteading in Stevens County. Dad liked to tell how the team of horses, feed, implements and household goods were weighed and loaded into the car. He was to go along to care for the livestock and see that everything arrived safely. All, including him, were sealed into the railroad
car, called an emigrant train, and were not to exit until the train reached its destination, which was Hooker, Ok., since that was the closest railroad depot to the farms. In Hooker, Dad met with an unfriendly train agent who insisted the car was overloaded, and Dad would have to pay more than a hundred dollars in extra charges before he would allow the car to be unloaded. Having no money, Dad walked around town looking for someone who knew his sisters, or some means to get word to them. He met up with a lumberyard dealer
who went with him back to the train and insisted all the goods and team be unloaded and weighed on the lumberyard scales. This was done, and the result was that the railroad had to refund some money to the parents, who had prepaid all charges. Dad was grateful to find an honest man who was willing to go to a lot of work to befriend a young inexperienced boy. Learning that land could still be had, he applied for a homestead and was finally granted 160 acres, known as Oklahoma Strip land. Our parents were married in December 1914, and they
packed to leave amid the dire predictions of our mother’s brothers and sisters that she would starve to death on that claim. Dad liked to tell about the farmer whose hired man just couldn’t make a straight row. They were always crooked as a snake track. Dad always excused him by saying, “The rows were just too long so he had to made them crooked to get them all in.” To be continued next week. Taken from the “History of Stevens County and Its People,” published in 1979.
Memories from yesteryear
using the rigging like some kind of trapeze artist, swinging from one wall-mount to the other. It was because of this scene they finally asked me to stop playing in the rigging because I was shaking it loose from its moorings. The attached photo should give you an idea of my flying abilities on the court itself. This game was more elegant for me than football, more like ballet as you can see in the photo of me flying through the air in jersey #40, arms outstretched in a perfectly straight alignment with each other, blocking a shot without ever touching the other guy, putting a stop to his attempt to fly himself. There was one thing about this

block, however, which really got under my skin: the ref called a foul on me, but I protested, informing the ref I never touched my opponent. I had followed through after this photographic moment by placing my hand directly on the ball, forcing “double nothing” to the floor, but skin never touched skin. However, my protest went nowhere. The ref stood by his call: the foul stood. This aerial display was typical of my abilities on the court. Blocking shots like this wasn’t only one thing I did well. The other flying achievement was to always get the tipoff. Because of this ability, Coach Hays taught our team how to use this ability to score the first two points of a game within the first 15 seconds. That was so demoralizing to our opponents – 15 seconds into the game and they were already behind. If you look closely at the other player on my team partially blocked by “double nothing,” you may recognize Randy Bane. I just have to say that during basketball practice he was one person I had the most difficulty blocking shots as shown in the photo. No one ever knew what he was going to do. I’m not sure he even knew, but he was so quick with his indecisiveness that not only I, but also our opponents had difficulty outwitting him. Sometimes being unpredictable can be a good thing (but most usually not). One of the stereotypical things about athletes is their chewing tobacco. Well, ‘course in high school that wasn’t allowed, but one thing I liked to chew was bubble gum, and it became a fairly common sight to see me blowing bubbles right in the middle of our games. For me, it was a sign I was comfortable and confident with where we were in the game. I suspect my teammates sensed this too, because when they saw me blowing a bubble, they knew we had a comfortable lead and we were going to win our game.

Blowing basketball bubbles I previously wrote an article about learning that football wasn’t for me,1 but basketball on the other hand was a sport I thoroughly enjoyed. In fact, Neill Hays and Ron Reed have both commented to me after all these years that one of the things they remembered about me was that not only could I play basketball on the floor, but I could also jump up, grab the net, and start pulling myself up to the rim and crawl around all the rigging holding the backboard in place. Ron Reed told me that he came into the gym one day, and there I sat on top of the hoop. The version Neill Hays remembered was slightly different: he walked into the gym while I was

We just relaxed, enjoyed our game – and won. Having developed a reputation for chewing bubble gum, I decided to ride on that reputation during my speech at our junior/senior banquet in May 1962. Bubble gum wrappers always had little jokes printed on them, so during my speech I would occasionally pull a bubble gum wrapper out of my pocket and read it to the guests. One of our guests was our guest speaker, Rev. Carl Carrier. He was so impressed with my “creative” speech that he suggested to everyone that I should give my bubble gum gift to a higher, nobler cause – to preach The Word. Well, his words took a while to bubble up, so we’ll just have to wait until we get to that point in my life to hear the rest of this story. 1David Stout, “Why do it if you don’t

Agricultural growth summit will be August 23 Join agriculture leaders from across the state at the third annual Kansas Governor’s Summit on Agricultural Growth Thursday, August 23, at the Manhattan Conference Center at the Hilton Garden Inn. The Summit is an interactive day filled with sessions designed to promote action and collaboration as the Kansas agriculture community works to create an environment that encourages growth throughout Kansas, in all areas of agriculture. Growth in agriculture has a direct impact on statewide economic growth: agriculture accounts for 45 percent of the state’s economy, and is valued at nearly $68 billion. “When we look at the impact of agriculture in communities across the state and in the state’s economy as a whole, it is clear that growth in agriculture is key to growth of the Kansas economy,” said Kansas Governor Jeff Colyer. “The annual Ag Growth Summit has been instrumental in the strategic planning process in the
Kansas agriculture industry.” The first two years of the Ag Growth Summit led to the development of desired growth outcomes in each of 19 Kansas agricultural sectors, and action plans to achieve those outcomes. This year’s Summit will build upon those growth outcomes and action plans as attendees work together to develop strategies to overcome barriers and encourage growth. Breakout sessions will again focus on the specific sectors - from beef, corn and wheat to dairy, food processing and animal health - as well as on industry-wide topics that affect multiple sectors and agricultural communities across the state. This year’s Summit will again include an evening social event Wednesday, August 22, beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the Stanley Stout Center on the north side of the K-State campus. The Ag Growth Summit will take place Thursday, August 23, at the Manhattan Conference Center at the Hilton Garden
Inn, and will begin with an “eggs and issues” breakfast at 7:00 a.m., followed by the Summit from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Participation in the Summit and the social is free and open to the public, but registration is requested. Please register by August 10 to guarantee lunch at the Summit and/or dinner at the social event. A block of rooms is available at the Hilton Garden Inn; call 785-532-9116 by August 3 to reserve a room. All farmers, ranchers, agribusiness owners and industry professionals are welcome at the Ag Growth Summit - if you’re committed to working for agricultural growth in Kansas, please join us in this effort. More information about the Summit, including a link to the registration site, can be found at agriculture. ks.gov/summit. If you have questions about the Summit, contact KDA at 785-564-6700 or email Brittney. Grother@ks.gov.
While the odds are very low that you will be bit by a venomous snake in Kansas, that’s little consolation for anyone who ends up with a bite. Of the 42 species of snakes in Kansas, there are only four native venomous snakes you might encounter: the prairie rattlesnake – found in the western half of the state; the massasauga rattlesnake – found in the eastern two-thirds of the state; the timber rattlesnake – found in the eastern fourth of the state; and the copperhead, found in the eastern third of the state. Cottonmouths are very rare in Kansas. Just two specimens of the northern cottonmouth have been recorded in the
Spring River drainage in the far southeastern corner of the state. Western diamondbacked rattlesnakes were introduced, but are not widespread and have been recorded in only a few cent r a l Kansas locations. A l l v e n omous snakes found in Kansas are pit vipers, meaning they have heat-sensitive pits in front of each eye to help locate prey. Their venom is hemotoxic, causing internal bleeding and tissue damage. Snakes are active during
the warmer months between late March and November – the same time when people are most active outdoors. Most snakes are found in rural or semi-rural areas where there is suitable habit a t a n d p r e y. They m a y b e found i n woodlands and shrubby areas; brush, log or rock piles; around water; in tall grass; around rocky outcrops or ledges; or even under ornamental shrubbery and gardens. Kansas’ venomous snakes feed primarily on rodents, but their diet may also include insects, frogs, toads, lizards, small birds and other snakes. Snakes cannot regulate their body temperature internally, so when it’s hot, they may be more active at night, retreating to shady areas or under rocks and logs during the day. When it’s cooler, they tend to be more active during the day. Hiking, camping, fishing, or hunting may put you in areas where you could encounter a snake, so be snakesavvy and snake-aware. Venomous snakes are generally shy and aren’t looking for a fight, but they will bite in self-defense if you step too close, step on or provoke them. Learn how to recognize them. They are wellcamouflaged, so watch where you walk, and don’t go barefoot or wear flip-flops or sandals, even on established trails or around campgrounds. Instead, wear sturdy leather shoes or boots. To help protect your legs, wear long pants or jeans rather than shorts. Special snake chaps and tall leather boots are available if you’ll be working in brushy areas where you suspect venomous snakes live. Wear leather gloves when handling brush, and never reach into an area you can’t see. Don’t try to handle or tease a snake. Snakebites in Kansas are rarely fatal and effective

Over 30,000 meals were packed in less than 80 minutes by the officer teams from the 38 Chapters attending. Twenty percent of the meals were made available to be taken
home by the chapters to local food banks. In Kansas, one in five children live in a food insecure environment.

treatment is available. If you think you’ve been bitten by a venomous snake, stay calm to slow the spread of the venom. Keep the site of the bite quiet and below the level of your heart. Call 911 or get to a hospital as quickly as possible, but do not try to drive yourself. It is not necessary to catch or kill the snake because a single type of antivenom is used to treat all pit viper bites in the U.S. Do not apply a tourniquet or ice, and never attempt to cut the bite marks and suck out the venom. Do not drink alcohol or caffeinated beverages. There are usually one or two puncture marks. If the snake injected venom (they
can choose whether to inject venom and about 25 percent of bites are “dry”), there may be burning pain along with and swelling redness, around the bite that may progress along the limb. Nausea and vomiting can occur. Your vision may be affected and breathing can belabored. Other come symptoms may include increased salivation and sweating and numbness or tingling around your face and limbs. Nationwide, venomous snakebite deaths are rare, but bites can be very painful and cause serious tissue damage. Always seek immediate medical attention if you think you have been bit-
ten. Learn about our venomous snakes so you’ll know where they live and how to recognize them. A great resource is the online Kansas Herpetofaunal Atlas hosted by the Sternberg Museum of Natural History, Fort Hays State University: http://we bapps.fhsu.edu/ksherp/de fault.aspx. There you’ll find color photos, descriptions, life history, range maps and a calendar of peak activity. You can reduce the risk of venomous snakebite by learning all you can about snakes and our wild areas, taking a few simple precautions, and being aware at all times.
Half of Kansas identified as high risk for West Nile Virus The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued a highrisk warning for West Nile virus infections (WNV) for northcentral, southcentral, and southwest Kansas. Northeast, southeast, and northwest Kansas are at moderate risk for WNV infections. West Nile virus can be spread to people through mosquito bites, but it is not spread from person to person. About one in five people who are infected develop a fever and other symptoms. About one out of 150 infected people develop swelling of the brain or brain tissue, that in some cases, can result in death. There are no vaccines or medications to treat WNV. People who have had WNV before are considered immune. “Know your risk and take action to prevent mosquito bites to protect yourself and your family against West Nile virus”, said Dr. Greg Lakin, State Health Officer. KDHE recommends the following prevention measures:
• Visit the KDHE WNV Web site weekly to learn about the current WNV risk level; http://www.kdheks.gov/epi/ arboviral_disease.htm • When you are outdoors, use insect repellent containing an EPA-registered active ingredient on skin and clothing, including DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535. Follow the directions on the package. • Many mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn. Be sure to use insect repellent and wear long sleeves and pants at these times, or consider staying indoors during these hours. • The elderly or those with a weakened immune system should consider limiting their exposure outside during dusk and dawn, when the Culex species mosquitos are most active. • Make sure you have good screens on your windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out. • Get rid of mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing water from flower pots, buckets and barrels.
Change the water in pet dishes and replace the water in bird baths weekly. Drill holes in tire swings so water drains out. Keep children's wading pools empty and on their sides when they aren't being used. • Horses can also be infected with WNV. Talk with your veterinarian about vaccinating your horse to protect them against WNV. Most WNV infections occur in the late summer and early fall. Although there have been no cases of WNV reported to KDHE in 2018 there have been more than 600 cases of the most severe form of WNV and 30 deaths in Kansas from 1999-2017. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides this webpage with additional information about West Nile virus and preventing mosquito bites: http://www.cdc.gov/fea tures/StopMosquitoes/. For questions about West Nile virus or other Arboviral diseases contact the KDHE Epidemiology hotline at 877-427-7317.

Rolla VBS enjoyed by all The community Vacation Bible School was Saturday, July 21. It was originally scheduled for the Rolla Park but due to heat and wind, it was moved to the United Methodist Church. Phoebe Brummett rounded up the small but mighty group for the story of Jesus feeding the 5000. Suzanne Murray asked the blessing for the quick meal, donated generously by Seaboard Farms, Rolla Recreation and USD 217. Shawn and Josh Schwindt, with help from Deserae, prepared the good food for the kiddos. After the meal, the children heard the Sermon on the Mount or the Beatitudes. Songs led by Kyri Martinez
and Phoebe Brummett were “The Wise Man and the Foolish Man”, “I’m in the Lord’s Army”, and “Father Abraham”. Pat Floyd and Suzanne Murray then directed all the attendees in making Faith Bracelets. The bracelets have seven different colored beads. If you see a child wearing the bracelet, please ask her to tell you the meaning. Jamie Mason and Rylan Williams then led the group outside for some shaving cream and water balloon games. Shawn and Deserae shaved ice for snowballs while the kids played. It was a fun evening that hopefully will be repeated next year! See you then!
Suzanne Murray explains the Faith Bracelet to the group. From Suzanne, clockwise, Charlotte Wood, Tina Miller, Destiny Wasson, Kyri Martinez, Brynlee Williams, Jamie Mason, Kylie Brummett, Rylan Williams, Brightyn MacNarney, Deserae Schwindt and Trynadee Miller.

The terms “college” and “university” are often used interchangeably, but there are distinctions between the terms. Specifications may differ based on where a school is located, but generally speaking colleges offer only associate’s and bachelor’s degrees while universities offer those degrees as well as graduate degrees. Colleges may be private institutions that tend to have small student bodies, while universities boast more sizable enrollments. Universities also tend to be home to vast libraries and may feature teaching schools with major research projects being conducted at given times. According to the education resource CollegeRank, in order for a college to receive university status, it must first meet a few requirements. A university has the financial resources to support its graduate and professional programs and has the facilities and equipment required to meet the needs of students in those programs. The school also must be ac-
