Consumer Corner by Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt
This time of year, our office receives many complaints from consumers regarding door-to-door sales. Lately, we’ve seen an increase in these complaints, especially those regarding the sale of meat and security systems. So, here are a few tips to help keep you safe from high-pressure sales, which may even be outright scams. Know your rights. Kansas law guarantees you three days to cancel any purchase of $25 or more made in your home or at a location that is not the permanent place of business or local address of the seller, often referred to as the “Cooling-Off Rule.” The salesperson must verbally inform you of your cancellation rights at the time of sale. You also must be given two copies of a cancellation form and a copy of your contract or receipt. The contract or receipt must be dated, show the name and address of the seller, be in a large legible font and explain your right to cancel. The contract or receipt must be in the same language used in the sales presentation. If you wish to cancel and you did not receive two copies of the cancellation policy, for your records, be sure to copy the signed and dated policy that you are mailing to the company. It is also suggested you send this cancellation by certified mail so you can track it. Companies are then required to refund the customer’s money within ten days of receiving the cancellation. Under this Cooling-Off Rule, it is also against Kansas law for the salespersons or the company to cash your check within this three-day period. Meat Sales Ask for documentation. Ask for written information on the company and dealer and take plenty of time to read it. If you lack the time to check into the distribution practices of the company, consider not purchasing at that point in time. Once you have read the information and researched the company, you can contact them to come back and make a purchase then. Reputable companies will have a local sales office with a published price list that includes the address and phone number of the company. Along with the price list, the company may offer recipes and nutritional information about its products. You can also check the company online through the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.com. Look at the label. U.S. Department of Agriculture(USDA) and state-inspected products are required to have the inspection legend or “bug” and give information about the product on the label. On raw products,
species, cut, net weight, ingredients and safe handling instructions are required. No ingredient, including marinades or other flavorings, may be added to fresh meat or poultry unless the ingredient is listed on the label. Beware of any dealer who wants you to purchase bulk quantities of meat and poultry that are not properly labeled. Always ask the dealer to leave the box or labeling information if individual products are not labeled. If a product is labeled with a term such as “restaurant quality,” ask the company which USDA grade is comparable. For additional information contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888674-6854 or www.fsis.usda.gov. Ask to see a retail food permit. In Kansas, door-todoor meat salespersons are required to have a state license or permit to sell meat, just like a regular retailer. Ask to see the salesperson’s license to sell. Contact the Kansas Department of Agriculture at (785) 296-5600 to see if the company is licensed. State or federal inspections are mandatory for meat and poultry being transported and sold within Kansas. The state inspection programs must enforce requirements at least equal to those of federal inspection laws. Compare the price. Meat is required to be priced by the pound so you can comparison shop. Security Alarm Companies Do your research. Some cities require security alarm companies to have a license, including Topeka and Wichita. Some even require each technician installing an alarm to be licensed. Make sure you know what your city requires by calling your City Hall, and ask any technicians who come to your door to show you the appropriate license. Before you install an alarm system, check the company through the Better Business Bureau website at www.bbb.com. Check your contracts. If you have a current alarm and they want to replace your old system, make sure you are not still obligated through a contractual agreement with your current security company. Remember, it’s always best to control your own transactions, rather than giving in to a high-pressure salesperson standing at your doorstep. If you experience any problems with door-todoor sales, please call our Consumer Protection Division at 1-800-432-2310 or go online to www.ag.ks.gov to file a complaint. It’s our job to make sure Kansans’ rights as consumers are observed and protected.

Hugoton should be proud of its own Dear Editor, Hey, aren’t you proud of our local senator? Senator Steve Morris has endured a lot of very dirty mud slung at him but he has never thrown so much as a grain of sand at his opponents. That he wants to be reelected there is no possibility of doubt but I believe he would rather lose his position than play dirty. I also believe his record stands upon itself if the mud is ignored. I am sure Senator
Alta Pettis Morris’ voting record and platform is of public record and can be examined by anyone at any time. I know that many times people are popular except in their own hometown. However, isn’t Hugoton, perhaps, the “exception that proves the rule”? Aren’t we actually proud of our own . . .any Hugotonite who has made good, especially those who
have been credits to our community? It is my belief that State Senator Steve Morris will remain (a sort of rarity in the political realm), a clean living, conscientious public servant if reelected and a sad but still maintain a clean living, conscientious life if he loses the race. I feel he deserves Hugoton’s appreciation and commendations as one of our most upstanding citizens. Don’t you agree? Alta Pettis
Voter urges residents to consider SW Kansas Dear Editor, Every election is important, but, the stakes for Kansas could not be higher. In the Garden City Telegram, October 3, 2011, both candidates were asked why they were interested in seeking the state senate seat. This is a quote from that paper: POWELL: He is interested in seeking the senate seat because it is a "step up" for him. MORRIS: He plans to seek the senate seat because he desires to see the Sunflower Electric Power Corp's expansion plans for an 895megawatt coal - fired generating unit at its Holcomb plant come to fruition; oversight of the development of a $650 million National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Manhattan; and advocacy for progress of the Kansas Department of Transportation T-WORKS legislation, passed in 2010, and which includes plans for a nearly $43.5 million fourlane expansion along nine miles of U.S. Highway 50 just west of Dodge City. "Through my public service, I've pursued responsible public policy," Morris said. "I'm proud of my record of supporting conservative values and fiscal responsibility, good schools and infrastructure. I'll continue to fight for a tax and regulatory climate that protects taxpayers in southwest Kansas and encourage job growth in our part of the state." http://www.gctelegram.com /news/morris-powell-39thdistrict-10-8-11 At the present time, wellfunded outside special inter-
Barbara Concannon est groups are busy spending millions of dollars to defeat incumbent senators who put their local communities above the agendas of these special interest groups. These organizations include Americans for Prosperity and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce. The group’s home base is in Virginia and their Kansas offices are in Topeka and Wichita. They are not friends of Southwest Kansas; they want the revenue to go to the cities. These groups have picked Powell to push their agendas through. Representative Powell has been in the house for eleven years and, in that time period, has never held a leadership position. He is the chairman of the Ag and Natural Resources Committee where he has sponsored bills for Creation of the Kansas goat council and Limiting liability of property owners, non commercial aviation activities. So when he said he wanted to be in the senate because it was a step-up, he was telling the truth. When he filled out his American for Prosperity Candidate questionnaire he listed his top five concerns. In this questionnaire, he ranked agriculture #5. Education did NOT even make the list! Is this really who you want representing you and your children on the state level? http://americansforprosperity.org/kansas/files/201 2/06/Powell.Larry-Senate39.pdf
Senate President Steve Morris does not stoop so low as to run a negative campaign, because he has a record of which he is, and should be, proud. As well as being proud of his record and accomplishments, Senator Morris directs a full time, year-round staff to handle senate business. In 2011, Steve received national recognition when he was selected President of the National Conference of State Legislatures, a national organization designed to serve and exchange ideas among all 50 state governments. However, he has been the recipient of disparaging tactics from Americans for Prosperity. AFP resorted to sending out postcards attacking Republican legislators for supporting “Obamacare.” A look at the voting record will show that every Republican in the Kansas Senate voted against Obamacare by passing the Kansas Health Care Freedom Act and they are standing in direct opposition to the President’s healthcare plan. It is just one more lie in their armory of tricks. Please don’t be fooled by this. Go to www.Senator Steve Morris.com to see his voting record. Who do you want representing you - a person seeking a "step up" in his political career or someone with concrete goals that align with the interests of the residents of southwest Kansas? Please join me in voting Steve Morris for Senate August 7. Barbara Concannon

July revenue receipts show continued growth Revenue receipts for the first month of the fiscal year topped July 2011 tax collections by $20 million, or 4.6 percent, Tuesday, and corporate income taxes significantly outperformed expectations, beating the monthly estimate by 40 percent, or $4 million. Overall revenue receipts bested estimates for July, finishing $2.7 million more than expected. Use tax receipts were about $1 million, or 3.2 percent, more than expected, indicating that businesses are buying more equipment. Income tax receipts held steady, almost exactly even with estimates. “A healthy growth rate of nearly five percent over last July is more positive evidence that our state economy con-
tinues to strengthen,” said Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan. "Thanks to hardworking Kansas families and businesses, our state is on strong financial footing and poised for success."

When Gary was 18, he was in a tragic car accident with his sister. he was dead for 20 minutes and during that time Jesus commissioned him to “make Jesus real to the people on earth.” Gary was told by the doctors he would never speak again and, even now, they say it’s a medical impossibility for him to be able to speak.

Average gas prices down in Kansas Average retail gasoline prices in Kansas have fallen 2.3 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.45 per gallon Sunday. This compares with the national average that has increased 0.4 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.50 per gallon, according to gasoline price Web site KansasGasPrices. com. Including the change in gas prices in Kansas during the past week, prices Sunday were 16.4 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 13.1 cents per gallon higher than a
month ago. The national average has increased 12.1 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 20.2 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago. "While motorists in many regions saw gasoline prices stabilize over the last week, it's only a matter of time before last week's rise in wholesale prices translates to a continued march higher on the retail level," said Gas Buddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "The late week rally in stocks seemed to also fuel commodi-
ties higher, leading me to believe that pump prices will again pick up over the next week," DeHaan said. GasBuddy operates KansasGasPrices.com and over 250 similar Web sites that track gasoline prices at over 140,000 gasoline stations in the United States and Canada. In addition, Gas Buddy offers a free smartphone app which has been downloaded over 20 million times to help motorists find gasoline prices in their area. Submitted by GasBuddy.com.

West triumphs over East at Shrine Bowl Colten Lissolo traveled east to take part in the annual East vs. West rivalry showdown at the Kansas State Shrine Bowl. The honorary all-star event pits top senior football athletes from Eastern schools against the chosen star athletes from the West. Lissolo represented Hugoton as the HHS delegate. "It was a good experience," Lissolo stated. "It was all exciting." He described the time leading up to the game. The celebration doesn't begin with the kickoff. A coordinated schedule plays out leading up to the big event. The athletes gathered for practice the week before game time. Also attending the Shrine Bowl, Hugoton's Chance Ghumm and Takota Eckert were a part of the festivities. They were part of the Kansas Shriners’ Marching Band. They went to Emporia Tuesday before the weekend game. They participated in the band camp, then attended the banquet Friday, the parade Saturday morning, and the game Saturday evening. Ghumm plays the baritone and is in his first year with the Shriners’ Band. Eckert is playing his trumpet for the second year with the group. Lissolo rode through the parade as well and enjoyed
time with children from the Shriners' Hospital. "We got to see the kids and see what we were actually there for," he said, pointing out the work done by the Shriners' organization to support children. Lissolo said they engaged in such activities as trying to tie their shoes with one hand. On the Kansas Shrine Bowl Web site, it is noted that the organization is a non-profit charity brought together to raise funds and awareness for the Shriners Hospitals for Children. The event has taken place annually since 1974. In this time, the organization has raised over 2.5 million dollars and has highlighted the talent of Kansas athletes in this prestigious all-star event. The 2012 Shrine Bowl game played out to a 14-7 win for Lissolo and the rest of the West team. This is the seventh straight victory for the West. Each team was made up of 34 players that rotated game time. Following the game, Lissolo and his family returned to Hugoton. He leaves for Hutchinson Community College this week once again, to practice as part of the football team with classes starting up August 22.

Parents of young children urged to immunize this month In its work to help Kansans protect themselves from serious diseases, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is proudly participating in National Immunization Awareness Month. Immunizations can prevent infectious diseases like chickenpox, whooping cough, measles and meningitis. Though vaccine preventable diseases may seem uncommon, Kansas continues to investigate cases and outbreaks of these diseases on a regular basis in the state as do many other states across the United States. “Immunizing is the main reason certain diseases do not run rampant,” said KDHE Immunization Pro-

gram Director Ryan Burns. “However, the extraordinary success of vaccinations also creates vulnerability: the better vaccines work, the less people think about getting them. This is why National Immunization Awareness Month is so important for reminding people about one of the greatest medical advances in history.” According to the CDC, more than 17,000 cases of pertussis (whooping cough) and nine pertussis-related deaths have been reported in the U.S. so far this year. The majority of these deaths occurred among infants younger than three months of age who were either unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated yet. The incidence rate of pertussis among infants exceeds that of all other age groups. The second highest rates of pertussis disease are observed among children seven through ten years old. Rates are also increased in adolescents 13 and 14 years of age. In Kansas, 121 confirmed cases of pertussis have been reported this year. Immunizations work, but in order for them to work correctly it’s important to know which immunizations or vaccinations you need and when to get them. Vaccinations work best when they are given at certain ages. Here are some general guidelines: • Everyone over age six months needs to be vaccinated against seasonal flu every year. • Children need a series of vaccinations from birth to age six. • Pre-teens need recommended vaccinations at age 11 or 12, as well as teenagers as they enter into high school and college, vaccinate before you graduate. • All adults need a variety of vaccinations to prevent diseases such as whooping cough, pneumonia, flu, shingles and more. For more information on immunizations, visit http://www.kdheks.gov/im munize/index.html.
fundraising events in the past seven years, Pheasant Heaven Charities, Inc., has donated to local charities, individuals in need, civic groups, and our own high school scholarship program, over $329,000. The Board of Directors, it’s partners and volunteers are very proud of the scholarship winners and their accomplishments, and wish them the very best in their educational endeavors.

Kansas. KU has students from all 105 counties of Kansas. He also stated they were working to keep students who are enrolled in KU to graduate, not quit college after a year or two. At this time, only six out of ten students who start KU will stick around to graduate. They want to improve these numbers. Caboni informed the alumni KU is offering more scholarships for qualified students. They now have four-year renewable scholarships. Tim reported there is a new agreement that is ready to be signed with 17 community colleges. The Bachelor of Nursing degree is very popular. Students will be able to earn their associates degree at the community colleges and then transfer all their credits into Kansas University and complete their Bachelor degree online without leaving their home community college. Caboni stated KU is hoping these changes will bring more students to KU.

Jeff Harris 12
(Continued from page 1) friends and co-workers, lost his life due to injuries resulting from a vehicle rollover on K-25, about 11 miles south of Ulysses in Grant County. The accident occurred shortly after 9:00 a.m. Monday. “We offer our heart-felt condolences to Jeff’s family and friends during this difficult time,” said KDOT Secretary Mike King. “Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they try to cope with this tragedy.” Harris, 43, was driving a 2005 KDOT International dump truck and was pulling a trailer at the time of the crash. According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the vehicle went off the side of the road and entered the east ditch. Harris over-corrected and the truck went into the west ditch rolling one and a half times before coming to rest on the passenger side. Harris was an Equipment Operator Senior with the Hugoton maintenance crew and had worked for KDOT 14 years. Jeff is the son of Marilyn Hall Bartel and husband Harry of Hugoton and the late Larry Harris. Services for Jeff are planned for Friday at 10:00 a.m. at the First Christian Church in Hugoton. A full obituary will be in next week’s Hermes.

Hugoton Area Chamber of Commerce News Stevens County Library Stevens County Library is the featured Chamber member selected by Hugoton Area Chamber of Commerce. Hugoton is fortunate to have such a extensive library to enjoy. The first mention of a library in Stevens County came from an announcement in The Hugoton Hermes dated July 11, 1914. This announcement stated the “Traveling Library” was sponsored by the Hugoton Women’s Club and members of the Hugoton Women’s Club and young people of the Methodist Church volunteered at the library. The library became taxsupported in 1924 after the general election November 4. A permanent structure was built in 1934, a round adobe building, located on the corner of Fifth and Monroe Streets, and built as an N. Y. A. project. It contained approximately 800 square feet of floor space. This facility was remodeled in 1953 and housed the library until the latter part of 1961, when it was razed after the collection was relocated into a new building. The library moved into a new building in November 1961. Located directly behind the first permanent building, it had 3200 square feet of floor space and an outdoor patio and rose garden. This facility served a growing population and a growing collection until 1976, when the rose garden was enclosed to cre-
The Stevens County Library will be celebrating their hundredth birthday in 2014. The library features a geneology room, fiction and non-fiction sections, ate the Kansas Room. This room also provided an area for meetings and children’s storytime. In 1985, the library was added onto a second time. The Centennial Room Addition included additional space for materials as well as workspace for staff. This addition created a total of 6,541 square feet of floor space for the library. In 2000, another addition and renovation of the library facility was necessary. The latest addition added 7,441 square feet,
creating a total of 13,982 square feet of floor space. The library is open an average of 62 hours per week throughout the year. During 2011, the library circulated 89,564 items to 105,689 patrons, provided online services to 70,721 patrons and made possible 11,005 hours of computer lab access. The Stevens County Library is excited to be able to host “The Way We Worked,” a Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibition from October 27– December 9. The exhibi-

tion is free and open to the public. The exhibition is made possible by the Kansas Humanities Council. “The Way We Worked” explores the stories of America’s workers and invites us to consider how the workplace and workforce have changed over time. Through photographs from the National Archives, audio and video clips, and hands-on components, Kansans will discover how, together, our work makes America. Additional program-
ming about the way Southwest Kansas worked will be held during the exhibit. The Stevens County Gas and Historical Museum is providing the library with a companion exhibit about the Hugoton Field, the natural gas deposit that has helped the area communities become what they are today. Virgil Dean, “The Way We Worked” tour historian, will present a program “Kansas Works” Thursday, November 8, and Dr. Sara Jane
Richter, Dean of OPSU School of Liberal Art will present a program on women at work Thursday, November 29. “The Way We Worked” tours six Kansas communities in 2012 and 2013.

Commemorative Coin Act honors Lions Club volunteers The Lions Clubs International Century of Service Commemorative Coin Act, S.1299, passed the U.S. Senate by unanimous consent. The legislation, authored by U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (RKan.), authorizes the U.S. Treasury to mint $1 silver coins in honor of the Lions Clubs International 100th Anniversary in 2017. The bill costs taxpayers no money, as the sale price includes the cost of designing and issuing the coins. S.1299 must now be passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. “We will soon celebrate the 100th Anniversary of an organization that truly lives up to its motto of ‘We Serve,’” Sen. Moran said, a 35-year member and former Presi-
dent of the Hays Lions Club in Kansas. “Lions Clubs have empowered generations of Americans to serve their communities and meet humanitarian needs. The Lions Clubs International Century of Service Commemorative Coin Act is a fitting way to honor the great charitable work of millions of volunteers since the organization’s inception. Proceeds from the coin will go toward Lions’ efforts to provide high-demand charitable services to the most vulnerable people throughout the world.” Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest service club organization with 1.35 million members in more than 45,000 clubs in 206 countries and geographic
areas, including more than 270 clubs in Kansas. In addition to its efforts to conquer blindness, the organization has made a strong commitment to community service, disaster relief, and helping youth in Kansas and throughout the world. “I want to thank Senator Moran – a fellow Lions club member – and all the members of Congress who are helping pass the Lions Clubs International Century of Service Commemorative Coin Act,” President of Lions Clubs International Wayne A. Madden said. “This act will support Lions Clubs global mission to help those with visual impairments or disabili-
ties, youth and those affected by disaster.” The passage of S.1299, which was endorsed by the Special Olympics, highlights a century of charitable services to people in need and would raise critical resources for ongoing Lions programs for the visually impaired, disabled, youth and those affected by major disasters. Over the last century, Lions clubs have played a major role in the fight against blindness by preventing vision loss for more than 30 million people and saving the sight of more than 14 million children through eye screenings, surgeries, vaccinations and other treatments.

KU hospital chief medical officer encourages everyone to take precautions during heat wave Temperatures holding in the hundreds can take a toll on everyone including office workers as the heat can slowly dehydrate people over several days. While certain age groups and people with health conditions are at greatest risk, seemingly healthy people can succumb to heat related illnesses during a heat wave. “Even folks working in an office can lose fluids slowly over several days in this high heat and not realize it,” Lee Norman, M.D., sr. vice president and chief medical

officer said. “The warning signs are more subtle. Sometimes people lose their sense of humor as they slowly dehydrate. If a family member or friend seems a little grumpy these days, offer them something to drink.” Dr. Norman prefers water or sports drinks during a heat wave over carbonated beverages that bloat the stomach making you feel full and caffeinated beverages which act as a diuretic. “Unless you have heart or kidney conditions which restrict fluid intake, then consistent water consumption is the best prevention against dehydration,” Dr. Norman continued. “Drink enough to require going to the bathroom every three to four hours and watch to make sure your urine is diluted. If it’s dark or yellow, you are not drinking enough.” Dr. Norman says certain age groups, conditions, medications and circumstances put people at greater risk during a heat wave. He reminds everyone to check on neighbors frequently, know the warning signs of too much heat exposure and most importantly, take precautions. Dr. Norman says: Medications: Antidepressants, antihistamines and heart medications don’t always mix well with hotter temperatures. People taking these medications can dehydrate more quickly. Drink plenty of fluids while taking these medications and check with your family physician, if you don’t feel quite like yourself. Stroke, brain injuries, dementia: Patients who have
suffered a stroke, a traumatic brain injury and/or Dementia might not feel the effects of the heat like a healthy person. Take care they are drinking plenty of fluids and are not overcome by the heat. Heart Health: Hotter temperatures put added strain on the heart as it works to keep the body cool. Overtaxing yourself in the heat can lead to serious heart problems even in seemingly healthy people. Among the early warning signs of overtaxing your heart are dizziness, extreme fatigue, feeling faint and in more serious cases, chest pains. It is true that the elderly are especially at risk for heart problems during extended hot temperatures and should take precautions to not overexert, keep cool and hydrated. Asthma, Allergies and COPD: The current heat wave is producing a drier
heat than normal for this time of year. While pollen counts are down, the extreme temperatures still making breathing difficult for people suffering breathing conditions. Stay indoors in air conditioning as much as possible during the highest heat of the day. Burns: The potential for severe burns on the feet is very real as the sun heats up concrete and asphalt surfaces to 125 degrees or hotter. It only takes a few seconds on a hot asphalt sidewalk or playground in bare feet to cause painful first degree burns. Young children are especially susceptible when they run outside barefoot and have nowhere to escape the heat. Make sure children have proper shoes on to avoid burns.

Welcome Kansas Dairy Ingredients & Thank You to Everyone Who Helped Make it Possible I am writing to Welcome Kansas Dairy Ingredients to Stevens County and to acknowledge & thank those who recognized a rare and great opportunity and acted quickly to seize that opportunity. As a result of their actions, Kansas Dairy Ingredients has closed on the land & will soon start construction of their new milk and cheese plant in Stevens County. First of all, I have to thank the County Commissioners for having the foresight to prepare for future opportunities by opening a new industrial park. I would also like to thank our Economic Development Director Neal Gillespie and County Counselor Bob Johnson for diligently working out numerous logistical and legal details in order to make this project a reality. Others who must be acknowledged and thanked are the Hugoton City Council, Wayne Tate, Tom Hicks, Tony Martin, Gary Rowden, Dean Banker, the Hugoton Planning Commission, Pete Earles, Kristin Farnum, the Economic Development Board and the Chamber Board for their very important contributions. Governor Brownback and all of his Secretaries are committed to this project and have been very helpful. They know how good this will be for our state. The project manager with the Department of Commerce was wonderful to work with. We believe this new business will be a great addition to the other great businesses in our county. They will diversify our economy, provide good jobs for generations to come and add to our tax base. We also believe numerous spinoff businesses will also locate in the area as a result of this new plant. Our schools and businesses should benefit from this growth. Stevens County is one of only four counties in Western Kansas that did not show a population loss in the last census. This new industry will help us continue that trend. Welcome Kansas Dairy Ingredients! Sincerely, Jack Rowden Stevens County Economic Development Board Chairman

Irrigation Capacity for Extreme Drought Conditions During a drought, irrigation can obviously help the crop avoid being stressed, but there are limits to how much irrigation can help. A portion of the crop water budget, even in irrigated fields in western Kansas, is expected to be met by precipitation or stored soil water accumulated from off-season precipitation or preirrigation. Irrigation systems are sized with this in mind. As a general rule, on soils with high water-holding capacity, such as silt loams, an irrigation capacity of about 0.25 inches/day is needed to have a reliable irrigation system. On soils with low water-holding capacity, 0.32 inches/day may be needed to achieve the same reliability. Typical peak crop water use rates average about 0.35 inches/day, so drawdown of the soil water content in the root zone is expected if irrigation is the only water source available for extended periods during the growing season -- without being occasionally supplemented by rainfall. Single daily crop water use rates can approach and occasionally exceed 0.50 inches/day. During drought periods, crop water use rates would be higher than normal. Many irrigated producers are experiencing the double jeopardy of decreased rainfall and higher-than-normal crop water use caused by high heat and dry winds. In some fields the crop may have already depleted the entire available root zone soil water reserve. What irrigation options are available in those situations to minimize crop yield loss? Increasing the flow rate (irrigation capacity) to a crop is generally not an option because the source of supply is a well with a fixed flow rate. The only practical but painful option is to abandon some acreage and concentrate the water on the remaining acreage. The most likely scenario is that the soil water reserves are already depleted, so the area to try to salvage should allow an irrigation capacity of 0.32 in/day or greater. Irrigation capacity (IC) is determined by dividing the system flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM) by 450 (450 GPM = 1 acin/hr), then multiplying that rate by the number of hours of daily pumping, and then dividing by the number of irrigated acres. This is the gross irrigation capacity. Multiply the gross irrigation capacity by the system efficiency to obtain the net IC. The number of acres that can be irrigated for an irrigation capacity that will support crop growth can be calculated as follows: Irrigated acres = System GPM/450 x 24 hrs/day Gross IC x Efficiency Example: To determine how many acres can be irrigated for a target IC of 0.35 in/day, with a system flow rate of 600 GPM and an irrigation system efficiency of 90 percent: Irrigated acres = 600 GPM/450
x 24 hrs/day = 102 acres 0.35 in/day x 0.9 Approximately 102 acres of a crop currently experiencing water stress might be able to be salvaged in this scenario. Three software tools may also be of help to decide the best course of action. These include: • KanSched: an ETbased irrigation scheduling tool (see download link at http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/mil) • Crop Yield Prediction (http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/mil /YieldEstimator.htm) • Crop Water Allocator (http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/mil /cwa) These tools were not designed specifically to look at the question of diverting water from
one portion of the field to another, but could provide some insight about different scenarios by examining output for multiple runs with different assumptions. However, selecting the number of acres to water in salvage should be based on estimated crop water use and irrigation capacity as described above. Before making any decisions about changing irrigation practices, please discuss this with your crop insurance representative (and see article on this topic in the July 20, 2012 edition of the Agronomy e-Update). -- Danny Rogers, Extension Agricultural Engineer, Irrigation

Many items are discussed at City Council meeting The regular meeting of the Moscow City Council was called to order by Mayor Billy Bell. Council members Jon Lund, Jim Rawlins, Linda Shaddix, Denise Shoff and Bill Suddeth were present. Others present were Janie Gaskill, Sandy Mitchell, and Bryan Muncy. Minutes for the regular meeting June 13, 2012 were presented and approved. July's accounts payable were presented and approved. Janie went over the treasurer’s reports. Then she reviewed the proposed budget with the council. The budget hearing will take place before the next council meeting. Discussion followed on the possibility of purchasing some sheds. Sandy said Walter Cobb would be willing to sell the driveway access that goes to the City roundtop to the City. There was some discussion and the council wants to measure off the 65 feet that it is across before doing anything further. Sandy mentioned she was sending cleanup letters to several people. Discussion followed on the fence at 127 Main needing repair and the locust trees needing to be removed. Bryan will cut back the trees. Sandy will send a letter about the fence. Also the fence between the convenience store and the old store was discussed. Councilmen believed it belonged to the store. Sandy will write to the owner about repairs needed. A proposal to conduct a survey study from Mike Klein of BHC Rhodes - Civil Engineers and Surveyors was read. The council agreed the study was necessary and Bill Suddeth will take it before the County Commissioners and see if the City can get some help paying for it. Sandy reported she was working on an easement for Jose Alfredo Gonzalez and Aracely Bustillos to allow the city to come across their property when the sewer line needs to be extended. She will send it to Erick for completion. A job application from Cody Childress was discussed. The Mayor and Council will speak to him when he gets moved up to Moscow. Billy reported the #4 well had a leak and there were some valves that needed to be checked and repaired. Pauda Services agreed to be there Thursday morning to work on it. There seems to be a restriction in the water main - probably sand - and fire hydrants must be flushed to see if they can get it to move. He also reported the white Ford pickup needs a new transmission. The council agreed to get it at Satanta Auto. The cost will be about $2000. Sandy updated the council about her meeting with Hugoton Chief of Police Courtney Leslie and Animal Control Officer Stephanie Smith. She listed
Little League World Series began in 1947 The Little League World Series began in 1947 as a national tournament for all known Little League programs across the United States. Initially known as the National Little League Tournament, the inaugural tournament featured just 11 teams, all of which were from Pennsylvania or New Jersey. However, more than 2,500 spectators were on hand in Williamsport, Pennsylvania to witness Maynard Little League defeat the Lock Haven All Stars in the title game by a score of 16-7. That result was printed in newspapers around the country, and the resulting publicity helped spread Little League nationwide. Within a few years of the inaugural tournament, every state had its own Little League program.
changes being made to Moscow’s ordinance, reported a conversation with Dr. Sarchet about using the vet's office to kennel dogs, and reported regarding Elkhart’s procedures. She will meet with Erick and complete the ordinance changes. Resolution 2012-07, a resolution regarding notice about hearings was considered and approved. Billy mentioned an old vacant doublewide. Sandy will write the owners and ask them about its condition and recommend they get with Roger Lynch if they would like to have it hauled off without the City condemning it. Ordinance 12-04, an ordinance establishing a special parks and recreation fund was presented for consideration and approved. Sandy reported Erick is working on the deed for the
Castillos for the two lots north of City Hall. All were pleased with the idea. Linda spoke with someone about painting the signs at each end of town, but she is too busy this year to help. The City will contact Sheri May about doing it and get a quote from her. City Superintendent Report Bryan reported the problems at the #3 well. It has been wired to the #2 well now. The State will decide what to do with the filtration system at #3. Sandy mentioned there were more requests for a drop box. There has been an ad in the Hermes selling some used ones. She will look at them and take some photos to present before the council. The commercial status of the local churches was discussed and it was decided to leave them at that rate. The Stevens County Base-
ball Team qualified for State and were planning to leave early Thursday morning. They wondered if the City would make a donation. Three of the boys are from Moscow. The council agreed to make the donation. Sandy reported about Bryan's overtime and also reported his upcoming trip to Lawrence for the wastewater certification exam and school. Preferred Tank and Tower wanted to know if the City would agree to having the tower cleaned on a weekend. The answer was "no", it must be a weekday. Sandy reminded the council Saturday is the rabies clinic with Dr. Sarchet. The council adjourned. The next regular meeting ofthe City Council will be August 8, 2012 immediately following the Budget Hearing at 7:00 p.m. The public is invited to attend.

A few fun facts about August Except for the often-oppressive heat that can occur in August throughout the world, few people may give thought to the other notable facts about this month. * Although August is now the eighth month of the calendar year, it was actually the sixth month in the early Roman calendar. * August was named after Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus, the great-nephew of Julius Caesar.

Mary visits dad in Hoxie Embrie Kay Hill
I was in Hoxie last week to help my dad enter his vegetables and wheat in the Sheridan County Fair. Thursday evening, we went to the carnival and sat down on a bench beside an old friend. He told me that was his anniversary, and they had
been married 67 years. He went on to say that the wedding took place in the middle of wheat harvest. Incredulously, I asked, "Did you leave the field to get married?" No farmer would.... "Nope," he replied. "It rained."

EcoDevo expresses appreciation for all to helped with KDI project The Stevens County Economic Development Board met Tuesday, July 24, 2012 in the craft room at the Stevens County Senior Center. Present at the meeting were board members Jody Wacker, Gary Gold, Jack Rowden, Doug Martin, Josh Morris, Jan Leonard and Bryne Sullins. Also attending were EcoDevo Director Neal Gillespie, secretary Kristin Farnum, Stevens County Commissioner Jim Bell and Hermes reporter Ruthie Winget. Board member Steve Rome was absent. Treasurer Gary Gold reported there was a checking account balance of $2,047.70 and a Special Projects account balance of $72,426.38. Doug Martin put forth the motion to transfer $2,000 from Special Projects to the checking account so they would have enough to pay the bills. The board members approved the motion. Board Appreciation The EcoDevo Board discussed how they appreciated the fact the commissioners had the land ready and developed for the Kansas Dairy Ingredients to come to this county. If the land had not been there, this project would have went elsewhere. They also discussed how they appreciated Neal Gillespie’s work as well as Bob Johnson’s work and everyone who contributed to this project. Kansas Dairy Ingredients Gillespie informed the EcoDevo board the Kansas Dairy Ingredients closed on the land deed from Stevens County Friday. They are hoping to move dirt by August 1, 2012. Candidates Forum The Candidates Forum is planned for July 24 at the Memorial Hall. It is co-sponsored by EcoDevo, Chamber of Commerce and Stevens County Farm Bureau. All political candidates except judges will attend the forum. Housing Assessment Neal reported he has a call in to the person who does Housing Assessments but has not heard back from him. The assessment will cost about $9,000. Black Hills has a grant to pay about half this amount. Neal hopes EcoDevo can receive this grant. Jan Leonard stated Lana Slocum’s grandson is a builder in Kansas City and would like to build duplexes here in Hugoton if they could find the funding. They would like to move here. Web site Kristin informed the board she had looked at Scott City’s Web site and she thought their Web site was like she had in mind. The board asked her to check on the cost of setting up such a Web site. Abengoa Tour Gillespie informed the board he would set up a new date for their Abengoa tour. It would have to be after 7:00 p.m. whenever the date is set. Business Appreciation In conjunction with Business Appreciation month, American Implement is the winner of the 2012 Business Appreciation Merit Award. Neal reported they were nominated by Stevens County Economic Development board and Hugoton Area Chamber of Commerce. Ghumm’s Auto is the winner of the Regional Business Appreciation Award. Ghumm’s was nominated by Small Business Development Center of Liberal. Rezoning Gillespie reported the lots in front of the addition east of Hugoton are being rezoned for commercial use. The public hearing of the Planning Commission is August 9, 2012. Community Guides Neal informed the board The Hugoton Hermes did a nice job on the Community
Guides. EcoDevo purchased a thousand extra copies to hand out to businesses. Sleep Inn motel Gillespie stated a meeting is being planned for Sleep Inn-Choice hotel representatives and potential investors. Community Channel The director reported he had spoken to USD 210 Superintendent Mark Crawford concerning using the school television channel also as a community channel. EcoDevo proposed to invest $3,000 for new equipment for the project. The superintendent stated they would review the policy that is currently in place. Safe Routes to School Jan Leonard informed the board a meeting with the Safe Routes to School representatives will be August 1, 2012
in the city council room at 9:00 a.m. He is looking for public support. “The more people who attend, the better it will be!” Jan stated. The representatives are coming out to look over the proposed

of the settlement is set forth in the Settlement Agreement itself and in the Notice approved by the Court for mailing to the Class Members, a copy of which may be obtained from Class Counsel at the address listed below. In order to be eligible to receive a payment as a member of the class, you are not required to take any action of any kind. If you want to object to the settlement or to any request for fees and costs, you must submit to the Court Clerk of the Western District of Oklahoma, 200 NW 4th Street Room 1210, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102, to Class Counsel at the address set out below, and to counsel for XTO, c/o Mark Banner, Hall, Estill, Hardwick, Gable, Golden & Nelson, 320 South Boston Avenue, Suite 200, Tulsa, OK 74103, by first class mail postmarked on or before September 10, 2012, a written objection that conforms to all requirements specified in the Notice and in the Settlement Agreement. If you want to be excluded from the Class, you must submit a written Request for Exclusion to Class Counsel and to counsel for XTO, c/o Mark Banner, Hall, Estill, Hardwick, Gable, Golden & Nelson, 320 South Boston Avenue, Suite 200, Tulsa, OK 74103, by first class mail, postmarked on or before September 10, 2012, which complies in all respects with the requirements specified in the Notice and in the Settlement Agreement. If you properly request exclusion from the class, and the Court approves the proposed settlement, you will be forever barred from contesting the fairness, reasonableness, or adequacy of the proposed settlement and from pursuing the claims in the pending lawsuit. Summary of the Proposed Settlement The basic terms of the Stipulation of Settlement that the Court will be asked to approve are as follows: 3. XTO will pay the sum of $37,000,000 (the “Settlement Fund”) as a full, complete and final settlement of all Released Claims as that term is defined in the Settlement Agreement. XTO shall not be liable to the Class Members, the Class Representatives or Class Counsel for any other costs, expenses or fees. 4. Attorneys’ fees, expert fees, class representation fees and litigation costs and expenses will be paid out of the Settlement Fund. The amount remaining after deducting those fees and expenses will be distributed to the Class Members in accordance with a Plan of Allocation and Distribution approved by the Court. The amount remaining to be distributed will be allocated among the Class Wells based on the contract damage claims for such Well. The amount allocated to each Well will then be divided among the Class Members in that Well proportionately based on each Class Member’s royalty interest. 5. If the Court approves the proposed settlement, it will enter a judgment that will dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice as to all Class Members as against XTO, and each Class Member, except a Class Member that elects to be excluded from the settlement, will be barred from bringing any lawsuit for recovery of any Released Claims against XTO, and shall be deemed to have released XTO and all other Released Parties from the Released Claims. “Released Claims” are defined very broadly and include generally all claims, rights, demands, and causes of action of any nature, accrued or unaccrued, fixed or contingent, direct or derivative, known or unknown, that are based upon or relate to the alleged underpayment of royalties on natural gas (including recoverable natural gas liquids contained in the produced gas) produced from the Class Wells during the period between July 1, 2002 and March 31, 2012 for Class Wells in Oklahoma and between April 1, 1996 and March 31, 2012 for Class Wells in Kansas. A complete statement of the “Released Claims” is contained in the Settlement Agreement. Litigation Fees and Costs Class Counsel will request that the Court award (i) Class Counsel (possibly includes Predecessor Class Counsel) an attorney’s fee not to exceed $18,400,000; (ii) Class Counsel for reimbursement for expert and consulting fees and litigation expenses totaling approximately $300,000; and (iii) a fee to the Class Representatives in the amount of $100,000. If the Court approves this request, said
