Kansas School Superintendents Urge You to VOTE! Dear Editor, Cory L. Franklin D. Roosevelt once shared, “Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves, and the only way they could do this is by not voting.” In public high schools throughout Kansas, students study the history of democracy in the United States. Furthermore, our state’s Standards for History, Government, and Social Studies call for students to “participate in society as informed, thoughtful, engaged citizens, and voters” (p. 102). One of the best ways a young person can learn is by watching the actions of their families and role models. Kansas School Superintendents encourage you to engage in democratic process this summer and fall by voting! According to information provided on the Kansas Office of the Secretary of State website, only 20% of Kansas registered voters cast a ballot in the 2014 August Primary Election. The primary elections are almost as important as the general election, as it determines who
will be on ballot in November. In the 2014 General Election, 51% of registered voters cast a ballot. Although greater than the percent of voters that turned out for the Primary Election, 15% less voters engaged in the process compared to the 2012 General Election. As a native Kansan and father of two children, I care deeply about our state’s future. I wish to see a prosperous state that is safe, maintains a dependable infrastructure, reaches out and supports those most in need, values all citizens, and provides a world-class education and training program for all. This is all possible; however, it greatly depends upon who Kansans elect in the August 2 Primary and in the November 8 General Election. Our state and our future depend upon the leadership of today. Please help choose those leaders.

Thank you, Cory L. Gibson President of Kansas School Superintendent’s Association

By John Schlageck, Senior Editor/Writer, Kansas Farm Bureau
Encourage friends, neighbors and family to vote so this 2016 primary election will be remembered as an example of American democracy at its finest. Turn out voters in record numbers to elect candidates who will do their part in the political process. Cast your ballot for the candidates in our Kansas election vital to farming and ranching. Before you vote, evaluate each candidate individually to determine strengths and willingness to work on behalf of agriculture and rural Kansas. Some farm organizations, including Kansas Farm Bureau recently finished its final and vital push to implement grassroots public policy positions that its members developed throughout the year. Our organization has also endorsed 133 candidates for individual seats in the U.S. Congress, Kansas Senate and the Kansas House. All are friends of our organization and understand the importance of agriculture in our state. So many of the issues have been cussed and discussed. The machinery is in place. All that remains is the action of voting for the candidates who have an ear that will listen to those in agriculture and rural Kansas. Exercise your privilege and vote this Aug. 2. Remember, if you don’t, someone else will vote on issues that impact your life and livelihood. John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas. Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas, his writing reflects a lifetime of experience, knowledge and passion.

HUGOTON POLICE REPORT
Vote -- make a difference A wise man once said, If you don’t vote, someone else is voting for you on issues that are important in your life. This is particularly true as we head into the final stretch of the election season. There is plenty at stake for each one of us in the Kansas primary election Aug. 2. Elected officials responsible for helping determine our future, that of our children and our agricultural industry will be chosen that day. No doubt about it, we’re living in historic times. The challenges and opportunities are plain for all to see. We live in a country divided. Polarized at both extremes – on the left and right. Little work is being done on behalf of the electorate. Instead, politicians of one party blame the other, obstruct the job of the legislative branch and gridlock prevails. That said, farmers and ranchers across the Sunflower State must exercise the opportunity to further key ag policy priorities on their behalf during the upcoming primary. Cast a vote for someone who will speak on your behalf in Topeka and Washington, D.C. Someone who will keep farm and ranch values in mind and reach across the aisle to forge consensus on issues of importance to agriculture. Across the state ag producers believe there are renewed opportunities to pursue issues including: comprehensive immigration reform; improved market access opportunities for U.S. agricultural products; and less government oversight in their everyday lives.

Troopers will inspect buses in preparation for school 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 on 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 vehi-
cles 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 Adam Winters, 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 vehi-
cles’ equipment and mechanical conditions will be checked as troopers visit each school district. For any bus or school vehicle passing inspection from June 1, 2016, through May 31, 2017, a green 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 2015, the KHP inspected 11,264 buses and other school vehicles for defects. Since 2010, the Kansas Highway Patrol has inspected 63,299 school buses. Submitted by the Kansas Highway Patrol.
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.

During the Morton County Health Fair Saturday, August 20, local Masons will host a free cancer screening from 9:00 a.m to 12:00 p.m. in the north wing of the Morton County Hospital, 445 Hilltop Street in Elkhart. It is one of 26 free cancer prevention events the Kansas Masonic Foundation (KMF) is sponsoring across the state in 2016. The screening is open to the public. KMF conducts the screenings in partnership with the Midwest Cancer Alliance (MCA), the outreach division of The University of Kansas Cancer Center, and KU Medical Center medical staff. According to Brooke Groneman, the outreach director for MCA, more than 6,000 Kansas residents have attended the Masonic screenings over the past few years. The event in southwest Kansas will provide skin and prostate cancer screenings as well as bone density tests and health education materials.. “This will be the first time we’ve hosted a health event in Elkhart,” says Masonic volunteer, Ed Anderson. “We felt that a cancer screening would be a great addition to the county health fair.” According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 5,600 Americans are diagnosed with
says Anderson. To learn more about the screening event call 620-6295277. For information about the Kansas Masonic Foundation’s other free cancer
some form of skin cancer every day and 205 of those are diagnosed with melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Close to 9,000 Americans die of skin cancer every year and the Centers for Disease Control reports that Kansas has higher than average rates of skin cancer in the U.S. “Diagnosing potential problems early on can make a big difference in successful treatment,” says dermatologist Ryan Fischer, MD. “We’re proud to support Masons in southwest Kansas and across the state who are giving back to their communities with life-saving services like the cancer screenings,” says Robert Shively, Director of KMF. In addition to funding screenings over the past 15 years, the KMF created The Kansas Masonic Cancer Institute and developed health initiatives like the Bob Dole Prostate Cancer Research Fund and the Oncology Nurse Navigator and Psychosocial Oncology Endowments at University of Kansas Medical Center over the past few decades. “Since we’re so close to Colorado and Oklahoma, we hope our neighbors in nearby border state areas will come by for a screening, as well,”

Floatline fishing season is now open Want to expand your catfishing horizons? Floatline fishing, sometimes called jugline fishing, is a fun and effective method for catching catfish in reservoirs. If you remember the excitement of watching a bobber when you were a kid, floatline fishing is bobber fishing on steroids. Big “bobbers” and big fish. If you’re interested, start planning now. The floatline fishing season opened July 15 and closes September 15, and it’s allowed on 12 select
reservoirs, including Council Grove, Elk City, Fall River, Glen Elder, Hillsdale, John Redmond, Kanopolis, Lovewell, Tuttle Creek, Pomona, Toronto and Wilson. Floatline fishing consists of free drifting large floats, each fitted with line, a hook, and weight. Floats drift with the breeze, suspending the baited hook. When the float begins bobbing up and down or moving unnaturally, you’ve got a bite. Floatline fishing is allowed
from sunrise to sunset and anglers are allowed up to eight floatlines, which must be under immediate supervision of the angler at all times, and removed from the water when fishing ceases. Floats must be made only from plastic, wood, or foam and shall be a closed-cell construction, meaning a solid body incapable of containing water. For more information, visit ksoutdoors.com and click “Fishing.”

Stanley McGill is the new interim curator at the Stevens County Gas and Historical Museum. Welcome, Stanley! One of the more interesting exhibits is the hoop skirt. A hoop skirt is a women's undergarment worn in various periods to hold the skirt extended into a fashionable shape. It originated as a modestsized mechanism for holding long skirts away from one's legs, to stay cooler in hot climates and to keep from tripping on the skirt during various activities. Small hoops might be worn by farmers and while working in the garden. Hoops were then adopted as a fashion item, and the size and scale of the hoops grew in grandeur. The Stevens County Gas and Historical Museum is located at 905 S. Adams. You are invited to visit Mondays through Fridays from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.

It might be too hot for golf, and it could be too hot to fish, but it’s never too hot for froggin’. The Kansas bullfrog season opened July 1 and runs through October 31, and if ever there was a summer outdoor activity designed to beat the heat, it’s catching bullfrogs. Bullfrogs are common statewide, and with more than 100,000 farm ponds, there’s bound to be a great place to catch frogs near you. Be sure to get permission on private land, but there are also many state fishing and community lakes that may provide great frogging. Once you’ve located a good waterhole, and you can do that by listening for the bellowing croaks during the evenings, you need some basic gear. A burlap sack or fish basket to hold your frogs, old tennis shoes for wading, a quick pair of hands, and a flashlight or headlamp. That’s it, you’re ready to catch frogs. Of course there are other methods for catching, including hook and line, dip net, gig, bow and crossbow (a line must attach bow to arrow and the arrow must have a barbed head).
You’ll also need a fishing license, unless exempt by law. While frogs can be caught during the day, most frogging is done at night when they’re easier to find and it’s cooler. Stealth is required because whichever method you select, you must get close. Frogs’ eyes shine in a flashlight beam and the light seems to freeze them in place. However, your approach still needs to be slow and careful. Heavy footfalls on shore or ripples in the water will send the frog hopping, light or no light. The ultimate challenge is to catch the frog by hand, which requires a low, quiet approach from behind, then a lightning snatch, aiming to grab the frog mid-body, just in front of the rear legs. It’s good fun, especially for kids; staying up past bedtime, wading in the shallows and getting really muddy on a warm summer night, and catching giant bullfrogs – a 12year-old’s dream come true! The daily limit of bullfrogs is eight and the possession limit is 24. Frog legs are wonderful table fare, usually prepared dipped in batter and deep-fat fried. Eating them is the next best thing to catching them.

American Red Cross issues emergency request for blood donations While thousands of people from across the country responded to the emergency request for blood donations issued by the American Red Cross in early July, a critical blood shortage remains. The Red Cross urges eligible donors to give now to help ensure blood is available throughout the rest of the summer to meet patient needs. The American Red Cross will be in Hugoton August 10, 2016, from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the First Christian Church at 600 South Van Buren. At times, blood is being distributed to hospitals faster than donations are coming in, which impacts the ability to rebuild the blood supply. Right now, the Red Cross has less than a five-day blood supply on hand. The Red Cross strives to have a fiveday supply at all times to meet the needs of patients every day and be prepared for emergencies that may require significant volumes of donated blood products “The Red Cross continues to have an emergency need for blood donors to give now and help save patient lives,” said Jan Hale, communications manager of the Southwest Blood Services Region. “We are grateful for those who have already stepped up this summer to give and want to remind those who are eligible that hospital patients are still counting on them to roll up a sleeve.” In the U.S., every two seconds someone like Ray Poulin needs blood. Poulin’s liver and kidneys failed following a serious blood infection. The situation became urgent when his liver hemorrhaged. He was given a 10 percent chance of survival. After receiving 77 units of blood, Poulin defied the odds. “There was a lot that went into saving my life, but if the
blood wasn’t available when I needed it, I wouldn’t be here today,” said Poulin. Blood is needed for many different reasons. Accident and burn victims, heart surgery patients, organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease may all need blood. Donors of all blood types
are urgently needed to help restock the shelves. The Red Cross is thanking those who come in to donate blood between July 25 and August 31 by emailing them a $5 Amazon.com gift card claim code. To schedule an appointment to donate, use the free Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Donation
appointments and completion of a RapidPass online health history questionnaire are encouraged to help reduce wait times. Other local upcoming blood donation opportunities July 25-August 15 are listed below. • Ulysses August 4, 2016: 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m., Grant County Fairground, 1000 West Patterson Ave

Tips for living with a fixed income Another year of the Stevens County Library Summer Reading Program is officially in the books! Two hundred and ninety-eight kids registered and more than half of them met the

Transplant shock occurs when plants adversely respond to being moved from one place to another. Plants may need to be moved for a variety of reasons, but homeowners should be especially careful when moving plants around their properties. When moving a plant, do your best to avoid disturbing the root, even resisting the urge to shake dirt off the roots. Keep the rootball wet throughout transplanting, too, as roots that dry out are more susceptible to damage than those that remain moist. Transplant shock is less likely to occur if most of the roots are moved along with the plant, so try to dig up as many of the roots as possible before picking up the plant and moving it. Water also can help prevent transplant shock by helping the plant acclimate to its new location, so remember to water the plant after it has been moved. Submitted by Metro Editorial.
Living on fixed income after retirement requires that many retirees make some financial concessions. Retirement income likely won’t equal the income professionals earned while they were still working, so men and women approaching retirement may want to begin prioritizing their purchases and choosing which luxuries they can and cannot live without going forward. Managing on a fixed income may necessitate some changes, but a little frugality and financial wherewithal can ensure seniors need not compromise too much during their golden years. • Change your dining habits. Many people enjoy meals out on the town after getting home from work and spending time with the family. Retirees have more flexible schedules, and adjusting the time of day when they dine out can add up to considerable savings. Many brunch and lunch offerings are less expensive than dinner menus, and seniors can use this to their advantage. Meet up for lunch and spend less. If you prefer take-out, order from the lunch specials and then reheat your food at dinnertime. • Ask about senior discounts. Various restaurants, stores and other retailers offer senior discounts. Inquire about discounts before making purchases and take advantage of any offers. • Pool your resources. Bulk shopping clubs enable individuals to save money on the
cost of many goods and services. However, for seniors living in two-person households, it may seem counterintuitive to purchase items in bulk. Split the cost of shopping club memberships with fellow retirees. This allows you to get discounted prices without having to store excessive amounts of food. • Shop around. Instead of shopping only at stores you’re familiar with, go where the deals are. Many people are surprised to learn that drug stores often charge less than supermarkets for personal grooming products and household supplies. Shopping online also may yield some good deals. Before making any online purchases, familiarize yourself with shipping costs, which may negate the savings. • Sign up for rewards programs. Rewards programs may lead to a few extra promotional emails throughout the week, but the savings reaped can be considerable and well worth nuisance of seeing your spam folder fill up

United States Senator Jerry Moran from Washington, D.C., stopped by the Stevens County Library meeting room Tuesday, July 19 as part of his Kansas Listening Tour. He commented Hugoton was number 85 out of 105 counties he plans to visit as part of his tour. He does a Listening Stop in every county in Kansas every year. Moran stated if anyone has any idea of how he can help with Stevens County’s problems, to let him know. In return, he asked for everyone’s help regarding Veterans’ issues. He stated
Congress was still pushing the VA department to do a better job than they do. Senator Moran remarked he had noticed in the previous Listening Stops that most Kansans are fearful of the future of the United States. They are worried about when their kids and grandkids take over the nation, what the country will be like. Other Kansans are mad nobody is able to do something about these problems. When a constituent asked about lawsuits concerning the executive orders in Washington, Moran answered there were several lawsuits
pending. In almost all of the lawsuits, the lower courts had ruled against the President’s executive orders. These decisions have been appealed and by the time a ruling is given, the current President will be out of office. Senator Moran informed the group the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service fulfilled the court ruling by removing the Lesser Prairie Chicken from the Threatened list. Senator Moran discussed the importance of keeping hospitals and health care in the small towns. He also talked about the problems of

the U.S. Postal service. He stated the National Debt day of reckoning is coming. If the interest rate should ever go up, the United States could not be able to able to service its debt. If the economy should grow, more people were working and having higher paying jobs creating higher tax revenues, all this could go to reducing the National Debt. Senator Moran then left for his next meeting which would be in Elkhart.

The Dangers of Leaving Your Pet in a Hot, Parked Car It's Hot Outside...and Even Hotter in the Car
The summer months are fully upon the area, and pet travel is at its height. Everyone has heard a lot in the news lately about the dangers of leaving children in hot cars, and the same goes for leaving your pets behind. Whether you're parking in the shade, just running into the store, or leaving the windows cracked, it is still NOT okay to leave your pet in a parked car. The temperature inside a car can skyrocket after just a few minutes. Parking in the shade or leaving the windows cracked does very little to alleviate this pressure cooker. On a warm, sunny day try turning your car off, cracking your windows and sitting there. It will only be a few short minutes before it becomes unbearable. Imagine how helpless your pet will feel. On an 85-degree day, for example, the temperature inside a car with the windows cracked can reach 102 degrees within only ten minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120 degrees. At 110 degrees, pets are in danger of heatstroke. On hot and humid days, the temperature in a car parked in direct sunlight can rise more than 30 degrees per minute, and quickly become lethal. Stanford University School of Medicine conducted a study to measure the temperature rise inside a parked car on sunny days with highs ranging from 72 to 96 degrees F. Their results showed a car's interior can heat up by an average of 40 degrees F within an hour, regardless of ambient temperature. Ambient temperature doesn't matter - it's whether it's sunny out. Eighty percent of the temperature rise occurred within the first half-hour. Even on a relatively cool day, the temperature inside a
parked car can quickly spike to life-threatening levels if the sun is out. Further, the researchers noted that much like the sun warms a greenhouse in winter, it also warms a parked car on cool days. In both cases, the sun heats up a mass of air trapped under glass. Precautions such as cracking a window or running the air conditioner prior to parking the car were found to be inadequate. "If more people knew the danger of leaving their pets in their parked cars, they wouldn't do it," states Kim Salerno, TripsWithPets.com President & Founder. "Pets are very susceptible to overheating as they are much less efficient at cooling themselves than people are" adds Salerno. The solution is simple - leave your pets at home if the place you are going does not allow pets. Dogs are designed to conserve heat. Their sweat glands, which exist on their nose and the pads of their feet, are inadequate for cooling during hot days. Panting and drinking water helps cool them, but if they only have hot air to breathe, dogs can suffer brain and organ damage after just 15 minutes. Short-nosed breeds, young pets, seniors or pets with weight, respiratory, cardiovascular or other health problems are especially susto heat-related ceptible stress. Signs of heat stress include: heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid pulse, unsteadiness, a staggering gait, vomiting or a deep red or purple tongue. If a pet becomes overheated, immediately lowering their body temperature is a must. • Move the pet into the shade and apply cool (not cold) water all over their body to gradually lower their tem-
perature. • Apply ice packs or cool towels to the pet's head, neck and chest only. • Allow the pet to drink small amounts of cool water or lick ice cubes. • Then take the pet to the nearest vet. Animal Services Officers or other law enforcement officers are authorized to remove any animal left in an unattended vehicle that is exhibiting signs of heat stress by using the amount of force necessary to remove the animal, and shall not be liable for any damages reasonably related to the removal. The pet owner may be charged with animal cruelty. Creating greater awareness is the key to preventing pets from this unnecessary suffering. TripsWithPets.com offers some tips to help spread the word: • A good start is to let friends know about the dangers of leaving their pets in a parked car and remind them to keep their pets at home on warm sunny days if they'll be going anywhere pets are not allowed. • The Humane Society of the United States has posters available for a nominal fee that store managers can post inside their windows to remind shoppers that "Leaving Your Pet in a Parked Car Can Be a Deadly Mistake." They also have similar hot car flyers. • Get involved. If you see a pet in a parked car during a warm sunny day, go to the nearest store and have the owner paged. Enlist the help of a local police officer or security guard or call the local police department or animal control office. Submitted by TripsWith Pets.com.

Help plants survive sizzling summer heat Many people consider summer the most enjoyable time of year, as the summer sun and warm breezes make the season perfect for rest and relaxation. But the months of June, July and August, which are often characterized by rising temperatures and stifling humidity, can be tough to endure as well. When summer heat becomes especially uncomfortable, humans can simply head indoors and beat the heat in air conditioned buildings and homes. Plant life is not so lucky, and homeowners may need to take steps to help the plant life on their properties survive the summer heat. • Monitor soil moisture. Soil moisture, or a lack thereof, can help homeowners determine if their plants are struggling to survive the heat. To check soil moisture levels, use a ruler or even your finger, sticking either two inches into the ground where you suspect the soil is drying out. If the soil is damp two inches below the surface,
then your plants are likely retaining enough moisture to withstand the heat. If the soil is dry two inches below, then you may want to give the soil a deep soak. • Keep an eye on container gardens. Containers may have an especially difficult time staying moist in the summer heat. That’s particularly true for containers that sit in direct sunlight. Water container gardens daily during summer heat waves, being sure to adhere to any local water restrictions. • Lay down mulch. Mulch helps insulate and protect soil during summer, when soil can quickly dry out. When applied correctly (ideally before summer temperatures get too hot), mulch helps the soil conserve moisture and prevents weed growth. Weeds can rob soil of the water it needs to promote strong root systems, which can help plants get the nutrients they need to withstand summer heat. Mulched soils also do not experience the fluctuations in temperature that non-mulched soils can
experience during summer heat waves, helping plants to grow evenly. • Move plants when possible. Plant location can affect their chances of surviving summer heat. Driveways lined with flowers or other plants may look nice, but driveways exposed to the sun can radiate heat at temperatures that exceed the temperatures noted on the thermometer. If possible, move plants to locations on your property that are less exposed to the heat and/or less likely to be affected by the heat. Move container plants beneath trees on hot days, and consider summer heat waves before planting new flower beds. Summer heat can be especially harmful to plant life. But homeowners can employ various strategies to protect the plant life on their properties when temperatures rise during the dog days of summer. Submitted by Metro Editorial Services.

Rolla Girl Scouts snooze at the zoo for camping trip Who wants to snooze at the zoo? The Rolla Girl Scout Troop was able to do just that Friday, July 22. Their first overnight camping trip as a troop was held at the Lee Richardson Zoo in Garden City. The troop participated in a scavenger hunt, which took them all around the zoo with clues. Then they ate pizza. Afterward, they got up close and personal with some of the animals that the trainer brought in, including a barn owl, a boa constrictor, and an armadillo. Touring the zoo at night was another highlight of the trip. The girls were also given a “behind the scenes” tour of the big cats exhibit. The troop joined several other troops to watch a movie while munching on popcorn. It was a great adventure for this newly formed troop. Jamie Mason, Roni Turner, Monica Reza, Tammi Bolin and Teresa McCurry helped keep an eye on the scouts from Rolla. Everyone reported they had a blast, although Jamie admits knowing that she was sleeping in the room next to the snakes was a little disturbing to her. Now this group of girls can say they spent the night at the zoo and not with the monkeys!
The Girl Scouts learned about a boa constrictor and were able to touch its reptile skin. Photo courtesy of Jamie Mason.
School enrollment nights are July 27-28 Every school in Kansas is finding ways to cut any “fat” from their budget and Rolla is no different. Enrollment nights have been set up for Wednesday, July 27 and Thursday, July 28 from 5:00 until 8:00 p.m. at the high

Returning to Mom’s side of the family, her sister, my Aunt Donna, wrote extensively about her childhood experiences in Rolla for some of her college classes which, luckily, her daughter kept all these years. In this short story, Aunt Donna describes the housing accommodations provided to her family by the Santa Fe Railroad. “In addition to the assignment of his own station, the Santa Fe also gave Dad a house to live in. A small yellow house was just down a private road a block or so to the east of the depot on the opposite side of the tracks. The house had two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen. – No bathroom. The house was not even equipped with electricity initially (but the depot was). Dad was a very good handyman, and he wired the house for power, somehow hooking it up to the electricity off the depot (but when the railroad inspectors came, he would unhook the power to the house).” “The house was sparsely furnished. Each bedroom had a double bed and a chest of drawers. The front door faced the west and we had a nice wide porch with a wood railing around the edge of it. For heating, we had a coal stove in the living room. The living room contained an old upright piano, a gift from Dad’s parents. The room held two rocking chairs, a large oak desk which we referred to as the library table. It was probably called the ‘library table’ because on both sides of the desk there were two rows of shelves which held books.” “Additional furniture in the living room included a Victrola or record player which stood high on legs and had a storage

This photo was taken of the extended Anderson family January 11, 1933, with the Santa Fe house in the background. This view is looking north towards the south side of the Santa Fe house. As can be seen, the front door faced the west, as Aunt Donna described in the article, with a nice wide porch with a wood railing around the edge. In this photo, Grandpa’s brother is on the far left, my grandmother Ethel Anderson is second from the left, Aunt Donna
is the child the man is holding, third from the left, and next to him is Margie, my mother, hugging her aunt. Margie’s brother Harold Anderson is the tall boy standing in the middle of the photo, and next to his left is my great-grandmother, Anna Anderson, an immigrant from Denmark. The shorter boy in the middle is Buddy Feese, son of Agnes (Anderson) and Otis Feese from Liberal, the couple standing to the far right.
place for the records. It had a handle on the side for winding up the player. Another nice piece of furniture was a radio built in a mahogany cabinet which had four legs and an additional piece of wood near the bottom which connected the four legs. My sister and I used this piece of wood to place a pillow on and listen underneath the radio to the scary radio programs. One such program was called ‘Inner Sanctum.’ This program always opened with the sound of a creaking door followed by a quick closing thud. That sequence of sounds was enough to get the cold chills running down your spine. Radio was so wonderful because it left so much to your own individual imagination.” “The final piece in the living room was an old army cot made of metal and steel springs. It had a mattress (of sorts), serving as a bed for my brother at night and a sofa during the day. We also had coal oil lamps which we used on occasion, and one gas lamp with two mantles providing two or three times the light of an oil lamp. When it started to dim, we’d use a small air pump inserted in a small opening in the base of
the lamp and it would brighten to as much light as an electric bulb.” “High on the living room wall was a telephone, and I would have to use a chair to reach it. Occasionally I was allowed to call Dad at the Depot to tell him that Mama wanted something from the store before he came home, and I always wanted to be the one to call him so that I could ask him to bring me some ‘CA-N-D-Y.’ I spelled it out to him so that Mama wouldn’t know that I was asking for it (incorrectly assuming she didn’t know how to spell).” “The kitchen contained a sink with running water from our own well, a kerosene cook stove, a round wooden table with four chairs and a kitchen cabinet which served many purposes. The cabinet contained a long door on its left with a light-weight metal container inside which held flour. Directly on the bottom of the container was a sifting device for flour. The top area had two doors with a couple of shelves to hold dishes, drinking glasses and coffee cups. Underneath that storage was a roll-top that opened onto a nice porcelain working area used for kneading dough for
bread and rolling out pie dough. At the very back of the roll-top were small shelves to hold spices. Underneath the work table were additional doors to hold pots and pans with a rack on the inside of the door to hold lids. There were three drawers on the bottom right side of the cabinet for the flatware, ladles, knives and other kitchen utensils.” “In addition to the cabinet, the kitchen also had a small walk-in pantry. The pantry stored food, brooms and other cleaning utensils and an ice box. Mama was a wonderful cook and we always enjoyed a great meal. We used the word ‘stuff’ to identify some of our food items and everyone in the family always knew what you meant when you asked to ‘pass the stuff.’ Sometimes, ‘Stuff’ was peanut butter and butter mixed together with a little syrup to spread on our pancakes. ‘Stuff’ was also a Kraft product of sandwich spread, and ‘Stuff’ was Mama’s own recipe for grinding up left over roast beef and mixing it with boiled egg, sweet pickle, onion and mayonnaise. We all knew what we meant when we talked about our family’s ‘stuff.’”

Lana commented she never thought she would work in a restaurant for her life career. She washed dishes at the Argus Cafe when she was thirteen years old. She had to stand on a Coke box to reach the bottom of the sink. When she was older, she was put out in front to be a waitress. She was so shy at that time, she did not want to work where

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS By Rich Fowler Social Security Operations Supervisor in Dodge City PREPARATION STARTS WITH INFORMATION Your parents were there for you when you were born. They’ve been with you through the most important achievements of your life. Now it’s your turn to show them they can count on you. As your parents get older, they may need help making decisions. When you volunteer to become a representative payee, you’re supporting your parents and their future. A representative payee is someone who receives Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments on behalf of a person not capable of managing the funds on his or her own. As a rep-
resentative payee, you would make sure your parents’ basic needs are met by using the money to provide them with food, clothing, and shelter. Any leftover money goes into an interest-bearing account or savings bond for your parents’ future needs. You’re responsible for keeping records of expenses, and we request yearly reports to see how you’ve used or saved the benefits. Other representative payee duties include knowing your parents’ needs so you can decide the best way to meet those needs with the benefits provided and telling us about any changes that may affect your parent’s eligibility for benefits or the

payment amount. If your parents receive Social Security or SSI benefits and are unable to manage their finances, or you think that may be the case in the future, take the time to become familiar with the responsibilities of a representative payee and consider becoming one. To learn more about becoming a representative payee, you can read our publication, A Guide for Representative Payees, at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs and visit the webpage, “When People Need Help Managing Their Money,” at www.so cialsecurity.gov/payee. Or, call us at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) to request an appointment. Take the steps to ensure your parents have a safe and comfortable future. After all they’ve done for you over your lifetime, volunteering as a representative payee is just one way to show how much you care for and appreciate them. Social Security will always be there for you and your parents through life’s journey.
Hugoton Assembly of God kids gather with the Hugoton Police Department after raising $800 in only three nights. Their contribution will be very appreciated by Hugoton’s police officers. The kids of Stevens County were only too happy to help out the men and women who serve their community in such demanding positions. They are truly grateful and hope God
blesses each and every member of the law enforcement community in the future. The group raised the money by having a contest between the girls and the boys. The winner got to slime Wendy or Ben Coats...it was actually a tie... so they BOTH got slimed! Photo courtesy of Ben Coats.
