Commissioners decide to buy numerous signs this week The Board of Stevens County Commissioners met in regular session Monday morning, August 6, 2012 with all members, David Bozone, Gary Baker and James Bell present. Also present were County Counselor Bob Johnson, County Clerk Pam Bensel and RoGlenda Coulter from The Hugoton Hermes. The following is just an agenda for the day with a few of the unofficial highlights. Official minutes will be published at a later date. When this reporter arrived the commissioners had already had their budget hearing for the Stevens County Budget. They had also added Kristin Farnum and Deb-
bie Nordling to their agenda. Kristin and Debbie proposed a community sign to be located near the Senior Center and Chamber Office. The commissioners agreed to pay for the sign and the installation. JC Cantrell came in to present his report from the department of Road and Bridge. Sheriff Ted Heaton joined him to report for the Sheriff’s Department. When asked how many prisoners at this time Ted said seven, but an inspector visited recently and, upon the findings from this inspection, suggested that more prisoners be sent to the Stevens County facility.

The Stevens County Commissioners agreed to buy the new sign for Pioneer Manor pictured above. It will be a routed single face monument sign with dimensional caps, ornaments and polecover with blue copy and yellow wheat to be routed and illuminated.

Local Veteran requests deep consideration before voting Dear Editor, Change? Is that term familiar? Have you noticed the change? I’m sure you have. I have. I grew up in Hugoton as a local farmer, then a seven year stay with the Army, a Veteran, now retired from Panhandle Eastern Pipeline/Duke Energy, a short five year stint as City Inspector, then Corrpro Co. I love Hugoton and its people and I’m darn proud to live here! This is my home and the G.W. Anderson family has been a part of this community since the 1930s. Many of you know me. Some may frown a bit and say; “What the heck is the problem with Vern”. Well now, maybe I got your attention,…. I’m glad you asked. Let me tell you how I feel…I’m concerned…no, I’m very, very concerned as to our presidential election outcome and the status of this great country of ours. If you are like me, and I know some of you are, you too are wondering, maybe apprehensive and becoming a little more aggressive toward the stupidity and immorality of our leaders in this country. Who is running this country? Environmentalists? Illegal Immigrants? Greedy Atheistic Politicians? Are “We the people” actually voting these individuals into office? Has our society fallen to this level of apathy? Sometimes I ponder, ….… .”Is God setting us up for the downfall of the good ole USA?” Now, I’m not getting on my “religious” soap box, although I probably should be. What I want you to do is: THINK!… Is it not the general consensus, at least in this part of the country that we, as a “Christian” nation see our leader (at best), as a pompous, inexperienced, non-Christian and a supporter of Muslim based countries and peoples?

All should pray for rain Dear Editor, “I descended Roberta from Heaven to earth in order to convert you.” In olden times, people were religious and their harvests were abundant. At present, on the contrary, they are scanty. If you want to reap an abundant harvest, you must not work on Sunday, for on Sunday you must go to
church and pray to God to forgive your sins. He gave you six days in which to work and one for rest and devotion, and to tender your help to the poor and assist the church. Reflection - All should pray for rain.

and local police are super people. But, they are spread way too thin to protect the general public! Call any one of them and they will tell you the same thing! I think it is well past the time to get out of our comfort zone and do some real soul searching about what we truly believe in! If you think for one minute the status quo is the way to go, you better get your head up and look around. We’re a broke country. I mean that in more ways than one. Our values, deeds and moral character are in dire straits! AND, I’m as guilty as anyone! It’s time to change! Obama coined the word “CHANGE” for his infamous election. Well, we had better do some changing or we’ll all be SHORT changed! Before I get off my soap box, one more thing…. Don’t reduce the military of this nation! If anything, MAKE IT STRONGER!! If we do not totally support the men and women who defend this great nation, we will fall. Remember, Democracy without the second amendment is just one generation away from tyranny. I don’t care if you’re Democrat, Republican, Independent, Black, White, Blue or Purple with Pink Polka dots! I truly believe if you vote an Obama liberal ticket in this next election, you will guarantee this country’s demise. Another four years of this administration will trash this country monetarily, militarily and economically! THINK, and be careful whom you vote for in the coming elections! Search out the candidates! Check their moral and religious backgrounds. What is their track record? Where did they come from? Are they Christian? Search your heart and pray diligently about your decision. The Fervent prayer of the righteous…….

KDOT representatives visit Hugoton about Safe Routes to School project Becky Pepper and Greg White from KDOT met with approximately 20 residents showing their support for the Safe Routes to School in the city council room Wednesday, August 1. Pepper and White had reviewed the plan and were in Hugoton to do the site review. Pepper told the group that there were 16 phase two projects submitted and there is enough funding to award four or, hopefully, five of those. It is a very competitive year. They like to come out to meet everyone and get a feel for the community support. Paul Stoner with EBH is working with the city on the Safe Routes to School project. He showed the map explaining the route that is planned. Kristin Farnum talked
about bicycle safety and pedestrian crossing education. Neal Gillespie said the town has a lot of people walking at present and most are walking in the streets. Getting a good sidewalk system would be beneficial to the community. It would be getting pedestrians out of the streets. Police Chief Courtney Leslie discussed the congestion at the schools with the kids walking home. Some are walking in the streets. The Safe Routes to School would increase the safety of these students walking to and from school. White talked about what would be required if Hugoton was awarded the grant and what to expect. The towns awarded the grant would be notified sometime in early

Billy Woodworth The first award went to Billy Woodworth. Tony stated Billy has put in a lot of time, effort and work at the Stevens County Fairs over the years.
Billy Woodworth has been involved in the fair since 1994 and has been on the fair board since 2008. Tony Martin presents the Friend of the Fair Award to Billy in recognition of his many contributions.

Billy has been married for 25 years to Loretta and they have two children. Harold Cox The next award was awarded to Harold Cox. It was awarded posthumously. Harold worked hard in the early days of the fair. He was involved in the horse division and loved to watch his grandchildren ride their horses in the horse show. Mr. Cox was instrumental in getting the big indoor arena built at the fairgrounds. He served as fair board president for awhile. His children came forward to receive the award in his honor. Tony Martin Representing the Stevens County Fair Board, Theresa Cox presented Tony Martin a “Friend of the Fair” award. Tony has been on the fair board since 1988.

As fair board president, he started the tradition of having entertainment in the evenings of the fair. He spends a great deal of time in the evenings throughout the year keeping the fairgrounds looking great. The Stevens County Fair Board thanks Tony for all his work and dedication.

The national average has increased 19.1 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 6.5 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago. "Watching the national average last week, one might have expected war broke out in the Middle East or a major hurricane shutting down production, neither of which happened, yet gasoline prices spiked," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "The scary thought is what may happen to gasoline prices should one of the two actually take place. The Great Lakes was hosed with refinery issues and a major oil pipeline issue, and while other regions saw increases, they paled in comparison to those in the Great Lakes states. The good news for motorists is that the end to the summer driving season and change to winter-spec fuel is in view, which will likely put downward pressure on gasoline prices," DeHaan said. operates GasBuddy KansasGasPrices.com and over 250 similar Web sites that track gasoline prices at over 140,000 gasoline stations in the United States and Canada.

Roybal - McConnell Reanna Jo Roybal and Rob McConnell of Cañon City, Co. were united in marriage Tuesday, July 17, 2012 in Montana at the Big Sky Resort on top of “their” mountain in a beautiful and spectacular wedding. The wedding party had to ride ski lifts and a tram to reach the top of the Lone Sky Mountain at 12,200 feet where they exchanged their vows. The bride was glowing and the groom was handsome as ever. They will be spending their life in Cañon City where Rob runs the family dairy. Reanna will graduate in December from Colorado State University in Pueblo, Co. as a teacher. She is also employed as a waitress at the Good Time Cafe. We wish them a long life of happiness and health.

Scam targets seniors’ wallets The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services’ Senior Medicare Patrol would like to alert Medicare beneficiaries of a potentially harmful phone call. Right now, scam artists in Kansas and Missouri are trying to trick seniors into giving them information that can be used to raid their bank accounts. Callers are being told that Medicare will be issuing them a new Medicare card, and that in order to complete the process and get their new card, they need to provide the caller with their confidential banking information. This is not a Medicare call, this is attempted fraud and theft. If you are a Medicare member, do not fall for it.
According to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Medicare does not make cold calls and would never solicit confidential banking information. To find out more, please contact the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, Senior Medicare Patrol to learn more at 785-2960377. This article was submitted by the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services. The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services’ mission is to foster an environment which; promotes security, dignity, and independence, while providing the right care, at the right time, in a place called home.

Hugoton City Council approves 2013 budget The Hugoton City Council met for their regularly scheduled meeting August 6, 2012 at the council meeting room of the city building at 5:15 p.m. Attending the meeting were Councilmen Gary Baughman, Mike Eshbaugh, Kim Harper, Bob Mason and Greg Gill. Also present were Mayor Jack E. Rowden, City Clerk Thomas G. Hicks, City Inspector Tony Martin, Police Chief Courtney Leslie, City Attorney Wayne R. Tate and Outside Utilities Supervisor Dean Banker. Guests were Jan Leonard, Richard Barnes, Deanna Burkhart of Black Hills Energy, Forewinds Golf Course’s Alvin Riley and Hugoton Hermes reporter Ruthie Winget. Electric System Supervisor Gary Rowden was absent. Planning Commission City Inspector Tony Martin reported there will be a Planning Commission public hearing August 9, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. in the city council meeting room to finalize the zoning of the property east of Hugoton. Black Hills Deanna Burkhart of Black Hills Energy stopped by the meeting for her annual check in to see if the city had any problems with the gas company. She informed the council their city gas meters had been converted to automated meter reading. They will receive the new readings from a tower. The location of tower site has not
been set yet. She stated Black Hills is getting ready to put in new gas lines out to Abengoa. 2013 Budget Tom Hicks presented the 2013 budget to the council. Kim Harper put forth the motion to approve the proposed budget and Greg Gill seconded the motion. The budget was approved. Ordinance 791 The council voted unanimously to approve Ordinance 791 which will raise Hugoton’s mill levy from 35.98 to 39.61. Planter Repair The top of one of the planters on the west side of Main Street shows some damage. The council voted to accept Trinidad Don Juan’s bid of $1,200 to repair the damage. Pioneer Electric Tom Hicks reported Pioneer Electric sent a check of $32,450 to City of Hugoton to compensate for its extraordinary costs. During the month of May, the Holcomb 1 generator was off line for repairs. Thus, Pioneer need extra generation from Hugoton to compensate. City Clerk Hicks expressed his dismay when he received the 2012 July Pioneer Electric Bill for the month of June which came to $306,005.27. Last year’s bill for the same month was $173,946.09. This is the first month under the new contract. This comes to 8.41¢ per KWH. A year ago, Hugoton paid 5.03¢ per KWH.
Mango Languages at Library The Stevens County Library is pleased to announce it has added Mango Languages online language-learning system to its database offerings for patrons, through the State Library of Kansas. (The library will continue to offer the Transparent Languages database at this time, but encourages patrons to try Mango Languages as well.) Learning a new language with Mango Languages is free for all library patrons, and offers a fast and convenient solution for our community’s increasing language-learning needs. Each lesson combines real life situations and audio from native speakers with simple, clear instructions. The courses are presented with an appreciation for cultural nuance and real-world application that integrates components of vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and culture. Users learn actual conversation, breaking down complex linguistic elements within an audio-visual framework that draws
important connections and builds on information they have already learned. Mango is available in two versions. One is Mango Complete, a 100-lesson course designed to provide a deep understanding of a language and its culture. The second is Mango Basic, which teaches everyday greetings, goodbyes and helpful phrases in a short period of time and is designed to appeal to a beginner in a new language. There are more than 40 foreign language courses available and 16 English as a Second Language (ESL) courses. "We are thrilled to add Mango Languages to our new list of databases." said State Librarian Jo Budler. "Kansans want to learn a second language for business, travel, or just because they think it would be interesting. No matter the reason, Mango makes learning a language fun and we hope the state takes full advantage of one of our newest investments towards enhancing Kansas." To learn more about Mango and get a preview of what the program has to offer, stop by the library and we will give you an introduction. You can access Mango through the library Web site at stevenscountylibrary. com.

Luckily no one was seriously hurt as the fair tent was blown down during the fair Friday night.

Ted said he has a trailer in his possession that may have been stolen. He told of destruction of political signs and a brick mailbox on the east side of Hugoton that was destroyed Friday night. He reported they have taken the minivan to Ulysses for repair. Ted also said when asked, that the nightlife in Stevens County has increased recently. He and his deputies are cruising around a lot more to hopefully discourage disorderly activities. Rodney came in to discuss the ambulance for sale. The bids were to be opened at 10:00 a.m. so he agreed to come back at that time. Pam and the commissioners discussed possible dates for meetings that need to be changed. At 10:00 a.m. Rodney Kelling came back in and the bids were opened for the ambulance the Emergency Medical Services had for sale. The burned firetruck had to be pulled out due to it being kept for evidence for the insurance claim being worked out. Only one bid was received for the 1991 Chevy ambulance. It was from Donald Perry and
the commissioners made the motion to accept the bid. Mr. Perry came in, wrote the check, and received the signed title. Rodney told of the planned EMS training class coming up in September. There is a cost but they are working toward a grant that may pay these costs. The main requirement for someone taking the class is they must be able to lift 75 pounds. The classes will lead up to a big state test in March. Dale Noyes came in to talk about his lot. He is ready to get started with his building. He said he was under the understanding he had bought the lot at a certain price and now finds out there will be more charges. The commissioners will discuss this matter more and get back to Dale. Next on the agenda was Tom Fuhrmann. He requested an executive session. Kim Harper came in to discuss matters with the commissioners. Tony McBride came in to report of the progress to the new Pioneer Manor. The garage door has been fixed and landscape all planted with some minor things that may have to wait until fall due to the drought. Warranty items have been checked: some work needs to be done to the

geo thermal system; condensation pans have some issues; and the roof had some issues but it has been fixed. Next on the agenda were Ashley Fiss, Meagan Sullivan and Linda Stalcup. They came in to talk about the plans for the Physical Therapy to move into the south side of the old manor. Before Ashley arrived, the commissioners talked to Linda about openings to the hospital board. Linda also told the commissioners about the manor’s plan to purchase an electric cart of some kind like a golf cart that they can use inside the building. Hugoton Rotary has given some money toward purchasing this cart. Ashley Fiss then arrived and gave the commissioners some plans and ideas for creating a new Physical Therapy location in the south side of the old manor. Much discussion followed about the removal of the asbestos and other plans for the old manor. Linda said their open house for Pioneer Manor will possibly be September 1. They also discussed the sign for the new manor. Linda said they have no money for the sign. The commissioners asked to see a picture of it. Motion was made to have Ashley draw up plans for the Physical Therapy office. Motion passed with two votes for and Jim Bell voted no. When Dave asked why, Jim said he would like to look into the cost more and talk about what is wrong with the location they are in now. Meagan named off some of the reasons they would like to relocate. Jim said he doesn’t like the idea of putting so much money into the old manor. Ashley is going to find out how long the bid is good for the removal of the asbestos. It may be higher already due to places they could not get to during the inspection. Much discussion followed when the commissioners returned from lunch. They talked of wages and the special charges of the lots east of town. Dave stated he is in favor of not trying to recoup all
their expenses out there, but there are just no good answers. One motion was made with prices but was later rescinded. Then the motion to charge $16,000 for upfront lots and $12,000 for back lots, per acre, with no extra charges for improvements was made and passed. Motion was made and passed to raise the wages in question and motion was made and passed to pay for the new manor sign with leftover funds from the building of the manor. Meeting adjourned. The next commissioners’ meeting is August 20. COMMISSIONERS’ PROCEEDINGS JULY 16, 2012 The Board of Stevens County Commissioners met in regular session with Jim Bell and Gary Baker present.

The clerk was instructed to draw warrants on the Treasurer chargeable to the various funds of the county for the following amounts: General .. 24,772.79; Road & Bridge .. 14,089.29; Building .. 13,027.22; Noxious Weed .. 215.27; Highway Improvement .. 76,858.71; Insurance Agency – Damages .. 11,000.00; Fire Bequest .. 8,500.00; Community Health .. 10,550.03; County Equipment .. 7,236.62; Employee’s P/R Misc W/H .. 64.62. Bob Johnson gave the commissioners an affidavit for title departments to sign for the closing of the milk factory project. The commissioners discussed the air conditioning system for the courthouse. No decision made at this time. Dale Noyes came in to discuss the covenants and restrictions for the Stevens County Industrial Park area. He had concerns about not being able to have farm equipment sitting out in the open. He has a sprinkler business and he would have equipment sitting outside. The commissioners explained what that
particular section of the regulations meant. They assured him that his business would be fine. Bob reminded the commissioners about the special assessments on the lots in the Stevens County Industrial Park. They will need to be assessed on the tax roll as the lots are sold. Connie Gold and Vanessa Willis came to the commissioners meeting to talk about the special assessments on the lots. Pam Bensel will need to figure out the amount of cost for the water and sewer projects for these lots in the Stevens County Industrial Park. J C Cantrell came in to discuss the Road and Bridge projects. He says they are going to seal the road from the radio tower to the bridge on Road Y. Jim asked JC about the Seaboard trucks tearing up some of the County roads. J C said the trucks have damaged Roads 8, 9 and 12. Jim asked Bob to write a letter to Seaboard asking that the trucks be careful when traveling the roads. Ted Heaton came in to discuss the Sheriff’s office. Everything is going good at this time. Ashley Fiss reported to the commissioners about talking to Meagan Sullivan and Linda Stalcup to get their ideas for the plans to remodel the south end of the old Pioneer Manor building for the Physical Therapy unit. Ashley says she has a bid from the company that will be removing the asbestos from the middle section of the old Pioneer Manor building. Rodney asked if he could
ask for sealed bids on the technical rescue truck and the fire truck that burned. Motion was made and passed to allow Rodney to get bids for the vehicles. Commissioners asked Rodney about the status of the bathroom plans for the EMS building. He said Ashley Fiss is still working on the plans. Rex Brower and Matt Esarey came in to discuss the insurance policy with Musgrove Insurance Company for the mud bog event at Lake Russell for the Stevens County Fair, August 4. Rex says he still needs to talk to J C Cantrell about signs to put up at Lake Russell. Rex and Matt asked if some of the people coming for the event would be able to camp at Lake Russell the night before and after the event. The commissioners told them to check with Ted Heaton so an officer could check on everything throughout the night. Rex said he would check if an officer could be there during the event, also. Bill Suddeth with the Moscow City Council came in to inform the commissioners about a proposal the Moscow City Council had from BHC Rhodes Civil Engineers-Surveyors for surveying services – section corner control study in the City of Moscow. The cost for the services will be billed on an hourly basis with a not to exceed amount of $5,000.00. Bill asked for financial help from the County. Motion was made and passed to pay the cost of the surveying services up to $5,000.00. The board adjourned.

Remembering
125 years of the Hermes From the August 9, 1940, issue of The Hugoton Hermes Plans to enlarge the County 4-H Club Fair August 30 and 31, were formulated within the Agriculture Committee of Chamber of Commerce in a meeting last week. Various committees have been appointed and work is now underway to make the fair bigger and better. It is the intention of the county 4-H groups with the cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce to make the fair open to the public. It is expected that definite information on plans and premium lists will be ready to announce within the next few days. The finance committee was busy Wednesday soliciting money for the premiums and other expense of the fair. It is estimated that about $125 will be necessary to support the additional fair attractions which amount will be contributed by merchants and business men of Hugoton and Moscow, and the board of county commissioners has agreed to give support to the fair. The old Amsden Lumber Co. yard and office buildings have been secured to house the fair~ this year. This is a very fine location, one block west of Main Street and is quite well suited for the fair, with a few minor. changes to be made in the buildings. . To enlarge the 4-H Fair, and to make it one that will be a benefit to the county and which every-

Stevens County Fair King and Queen hold court at the Fair Roy Horton and Ruth Betsworth Breeding were selected to reign as 2012 Pioneer King and Queen of the Fair. Roy Horton Roy Horton has lived in Hugoton all of his life. As a boy, his home at Third and Monroe Street was an ideal location for a family with one girl and six boys. Just across the street north of the Park and across the street west of the ballpark! Roy liked playing ball, especially baseball and also participated in football, basketball and track in high school. He played town team baseball a lot and coached Little League and Senior Little League. Roy played on the Northern Natural Gas Company Softball team for a number of years and was employed by Northern for 32 years. Mr. Horton is a member of First Christian Church and the American Legion. Not the first of his family to be honored as Stevens County Royalty, Roy’s mother Laura Horton was Fair Queen in 1967. Roy and his wife Ruth have been married 51 years and have two children. Their son Scott has blessed them with grandsons Adam, Trent and Nate Horton and their daughter Kay three grandchildren, Dalton and Cole Twilligear and Rylee Kay Shurtleff. Roy and Ruth have enjoyed many ballgames, a lot of family fishing/camping trips, and many years of RV travels. Roy is looking forward to fall sports and cheering for the Hugoton Eagles. Ruth Betsworth Breeding Ruth Maupin and her parents, Bill and Veda Maupin, moved from Holyrood to Hugoton in January of 1947. The ditches were piled high with drifted snow and it was cold! Her dad Bill was employed at Bloodhart Drug as a pharmacist for Mac McClung. Ruth had graduated from Holyrood High School in May of 1946, and after getting settled in their new surroundings, she started working at Republic Natural Gas in the Land Department with George Sims being her boss. She met
Roy Horton and Ruth Betsworth Breeding are honored at the Stevens County Fair Friday night. one of the most handsome, charming men in Hugoton, Morgan Orville Betsworth, who had just returned to Hugoton after serving three years in the Navy during World War II. They ended up getting married. Orville was hired to work for Northern Natural Gas, his main reason for being hired was he was a good ball player. Northern had a fantastic softball team and as a result, Ruth spent a lot of time on the sidelines with her sons, watching her husband and his teammates play softball. Orville also coached Little League baseball for 16 years and officiated baseball, basketball and football throughout 20 years or more. Ruth and Orville had three sons, Mike, Bill and Brent Betsworth who were also involved with baseball, basketball and football. Then came grandson Brad Betsworth and greatgrandsons Brock and Caleb Gifford. One of her favorite quotes used to be, “When I die, I will probably fall out of the

bleachers.” Very seldom did she miss a game when one of her family was playing. During her 65 years of being a resident of Hugoton, Ruth was also employed as secretary for the Stevens County Extension Office; Library Clerk at the Hugoton Elementary School; and was the office manager for Chet Davis’ State Farm Insurance for 20 years before retiring in 1985. She and Orville were also active in youth activities at the Hugoton Baptist Church. Ruth lost her husband Orville due to a massive heart attack which occurred in Colorado in August of 1987, after retiring in 1985. She also lost her oldest son Mike at the age of 51, due to a massive heart attack in February of 2000. June 1989, Ruth and Charles Breeding were united in marriage and their ten years of good marriage ended in August of 1999, when Charles passed away. Charles and Ruth lived in the best of three worlds during their marriage, winters in Ari-
zona, spring and fall in Hugoton, and summers in Colorado. Someone mentioned not too long ago that Ruth needed to add another room to her shoe due to the fact she had so many grandchldren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren she didn’t know what to do. She has six grandchildren, eight step grandchildren, Taylor Tarcy Betsworth’s son is deceased, 14 great grandchildren, ten step great grandchildren and two step great great grandchildren. Through the years she has lived in Stevens County, she has relied on her Christian faith, her friends and her family for the abundance of good times and help through the rough times and they have always been there for her. Her immediate families who live here in Hugoton are son Bill Betsworth and his wife Tarcy; Brent Betsworth and his wife Teri, their daughters, Camrie and Kylie; granddaughter Camee Gifford who is Bill and Tarcy’s daughter, and her husband Chad, and their chldren Caleb and Magee and their oldest son Brock Gifford and his wife Melanie. Their other daughter Trisha Putthoff lives in Shawnee with her husband Josh and three sons, Gabe, Jax and Beckett. Gabe has been battling Neuroblastoma cancer for the past five years. He will be eight years old in October. Brent and Teri’s son, Brad Betsworth and his wife Amanda and two children Brayden and Olivia, live in Galeton, Co., and their daughter Bethany Owens and her husband Zack and daughter Ryann, live in Centennial, Co. Ruth expresses her thankfulness for the many years she has lived and been a part of the landscape of southwest Kansas. The scene has changed through the years, but all is still beautiful and full of good people, good thoughts and good happenings. She thanks all of Hugoton and the surrounding area for her wonderful memories.

Saturday morning was met with a break in the extreme summer temps and an overnight rain setting the stage for the Dominic Esarey Memorial Mud Run at the city ponds at Hugoton's northeast edge. This inagural event was greeted with an enthusiastic crowd packing the stands to watch the action play out. The top three runs in each class earned their portion of the 100% pay out. Four classes based on tire size competed, as did an open class division where anything goes. Four-wheeler divisions were also part of the day's events, with two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive designations, in addition to side-bysides. After two runs through the muddy trench, distances and times were calculated to determine the outcome. Brad Hemann took top honors in the 33-35" class, busting through the pit in 7.78 seconds with mud flying. Jake Kerbon placed second in a time of 7.88 and Neil Olivier was third with 8.07 recorded by stopwatch. In the 36-39" division, Jeff Hemann won in a time of 9.16. Jack Kerbow, Jr. took second with his 9.61 average, and Michael Kost was third in 10 seconds flat.
The 0-32" tire division was won by Chris Moore. He placed first with 10.23 seconds average, followed by Manuel Sanchez with 11.35 and Aaron Gonzalez with 11.64. The open-class battle was topped by Jack Kerbow, Jr. in 9.79 seconds. Michael Kost turned in a 10.62 for second and Joe Walley 11.07 for third. Matt Esarey, event coordinator and father of Dominic, took part in the muddy festivities as well. In addition to being a fun day for families, this event brought opportunity for fundraising towards a Dominic Esarey Memorial Scholarship. "We're planning to hold other events," Matt explained of the coordinated efforts. "We want to get local churches and youth groups involved in something like this that gives kids something to do besides cruising around and getting into trouble." Matt and his family have been active in mud run events for the past six years, pointing out his late son Dominic absolutely loved the thrill of mud runs. "We would come out and have fun, it was one of his favorite things," Matt noted.
Jeff Hemann won the 36-39" tire size class of competition Saturday at Hugoton's Dominic Esarey Memorial Mud Run. He's pictured here with his muddy ride that took the cake. He had the fastest time average with a 9.61 second run. The top three mud run competitors in each of four classes took home a portion of the 100% pay out. He explained they would compete together in the Elkhart-hosted mud run each year. This Hugoton hosted event brought in competitors from surrounding states including New Mexico, Texas, Colorado and a good showing of local Kansans. There is no age limit to participate. Parental consent is required for
youths under 18 years of age. Workers at the event were all volunteers and a host of sponsors made the event possible which was coordinated by the non-profit organization Lock In Load Up 4X4. You can follow them on Facebook. Be on the lookout for future events and fun in the mud.
Beginning Monday, August 13 through Saturday, August 18, the pool will be open daily from 2pm-5pm.

Jorge Tinoco won first in Sparring, second in Forms and first in Breaking. Jorge was named Grand Champion of the 9-11 year old division, colored belt. Due to an injury, Mr. David could only compete in Breaking, Black Belt division and came out with first place. The school as a whole came home with seven first place winners, a second place winner and two Grand Champions. Mr. David commented, “There were over 120 competitors in this tournament. I was so amazed how these young men performed. This was only their second tournament and to not only place but to walk out with six first place medals is awesome. Then to top it all off, to get enough points to become Grand Champions. It was such an amazing day for both young men.”

SOCIAL SECURITY GOES COUNTRY (Note: It may seem crazy, but there are 20 country song titles or lyrics in this column (including the one in this sentence). Can you circle all of them? You probably think of July 4 as Independence Day. Did you know that it is also National Country Music Day? A new holiday? Not by any means. In fact, you might even say it’s been around forever and ever Amen. It was in the 1950s that the Country Music Deejay Association decided to start the holiday. It’s been celebrated every year since. Social Security’s been around nearly as long as country music - since the 1930s. Social Security was signed into law during the same depression era that found Gene Autry singing “Take Me Back To My Boots and Saddle.” Since its dustbowl beginnings, Social Security has helped many silver-haired daddies (and mammas who let their babies grow up to be cowboys) get back in the saddle again. By helping many older Americans stay out of poverty, Social Security is used to being told “I will always love you” and that “you were always on my mind.” Not to mention, “If you’ve got the money, honey, I’ve got the time.” These days, retirees live longer than ever. Today’s average 65-year old can expect to live another 20 years. About 55 million Americans will receive $760 billion in Social Security benefits this year; the average monthly benefit for a retired worker in 2012 is $1,229. But let’s give them something to talk about: Social Security is more than retirement. The agency could cry, “People who say 'Social Security Retirement’ never even called me by my name.” That’s because Social Security also pays disability and survivors benefits, as well as Supplemental Security Income, or SSI. Whether you’re at the start of your career, working 9 to 5, or well into mid-career, you should give some thought to planning your future retirement. To help you plan, visit our Retirement Estimator at www.socialsecu rity.gov/estimator. It’ll help you determine how much you need to save to harvest a comfortable retirement. Are you at the end of a career? Ready to take this job and shove it? There’s no reason to walk the line to your local Social Security office, even if you are king of the road. The easiest way to apply for retirement benefits is online, at www.socialsecu rity.gov. Being away from your friends at work may make you so lonesome you could cry, but at least you can count on a monthly Social Security payment. They may even begin to sing about the day of the month “when our old-age pension check comes to our door.” Or, in most cases, by direct deposit to your bank account. Here’s a word of advice for Lucille and Ruby. You may have picked a fine time to take your love to town, but if you were married for ten years or more, and are not remarried, you may qualify for Social Security benefits based on your ex’s work history whether your exes live in Texas or anywhere else. Were you able to find all 20 song references? Here’s an easier challenge: find everything you need related to Social Security at www.socialsecurity.gov.

544-2261 USDA is an equal opportunity employer and provider Kansas Launches Cost-Share Initiative to Improve Existing Livestock Water Supplies The Kansas State Conservation Commission (SCC) recently approved a plan to work with Kansas livestock producers on a cost-share program targeted at improving existing livestock water supplies. The Kansas Department of Agriculture’s (KDA) Division of Conservation urges livestock producers to focus project applications on restoration of existing ponds, well development, spring development or other water storage projects. The SCC, which is a board of commissioners consisting of five elected and four appointed members, approved the use of $500,000 of fiscal year 2012 cost-share funding that has been carried forward to provide immediate assistance to livestock producers in droughtstricken Kansas. Producers will have 45-days to sign-up for the cost-share assistance initiative and will be eligible to receive up to $2,000 per project and up to $4,000 per landowner. Projects
will be considered and approved on a first-come, first-served basis. KDA’s Division of Conservation will collect applications submitted by county conservation districts and then process and approve individual contracts. “The impacts of this drought are being felt far and wide and will continue to be felt even after rain arrives. We are here to help producers cope with the drought today but also help them recover and plan for future droughts,” said Kansas Secretary of Agriculture Dale Rodman. “From a newly adopted effort to restore existing ponds to drilling deeper wells, developing springs or digging new ponds, this funding will provide critical assistance to assure the hard-hit livestock producers in Kansas have water storage and supplies available for critical seasons going forward.” Pastures that currently have limited or no existing water supplies are the primary targets for this initiative. Livestock producers with existing ponds who are requesting cost-share assistance
must meet specific criteria to be eligible. Specifically, dams must be in satisfactory condition or the landowner must commit to bring the dam to a satisfactory condition and the pond must still be capable of serving a conservation use for stockwater. Cost-share funding can be used for sediment removal; principal spillway replacement; or embankment seeding. Rodman said the Division of Conservation and the county conservation districts will be flexible with livestock producers to help assure they meet the specific criteria. Projects related to well development, spring development and new ponds will follow current policy requirements. Rodman urged livestock producers to work with their county conservation district to submit an application for these costshare opportunities. Your Stevens County Conservation District is located at 607 East Eleventh Street in Hugoton. Call 544-2991, extension three.

Montana Beesley. Logan Brecheisen gave the treasurer’s report. The group discussed how they planned to spend their Monsanto Funds.

She told everyone about the club’s fair parade float plans and where to meet.
She also reminded everyone to bring pies Wednesday, and to please remember their assigned times to work in the concession stand. She concluded by wishing everyone “good luck” at the fair. There was no old or new business. The meeting was adjourned and several members had their record books signed. Submitted by Cloverleaf Cowboys reporter Landon Brecheisen.

ROLLA NEWS Hummingbirds delight locals By Mary Courtney
August 13 - 17 Morton County Health Fair - free to all who participate.
Lana Jarvis and Traci Taylor enjoy wildlife and have had special visitors this summer. Lana spent time in Colorado where eight to twenty hummingbirds fed regularly at the feeders. Lana filled the feeders several times a day to keep the little hummers happy.
Traci’s hummingbird received his nourishment from the many petunias in the Taylors’ yard. These little pets become quite tame when food is made available. Traci and Lana will no doubt miss their fluttering feathered friends as school starts soon.
**Free Daily Hugoton Delivery** Same Day Delivery Even on Saturdays
These little beauties refresh themselves after an invigorating flight in Colorado. Lana Jarvis loved to watch them gather around the feeders while she was visiting the Centennial State.

Get set for a celestial light show!
Booths adorned the fair building at the Stevens County Fair last week. Fair goers shopped at the various booths and signed up for prizes.
Stevens County Hospital and Medical Clinic displays various items at their booth at the Stevens County Fair last week.
The Perseid Meteor shower occurs annually when the Earth passes through material left behind by comet Swift-Tuttle. As the month of August begins, you may begin to notice more shooting stars than usual streaking across the night sky appearing to come out of the constellation Perscus. The meteor shower activity will peak during the early morning hours of Monday, August 13. In the dark skies of outlying areas around Wichita or other Kansas cities, peak activity should reveal as many as 30 to 60 meteors per hour; in other words, an average of one meteor every minute or two. For this special event, the Lake Afton Public Observatory will open its doors at 11:00 p.m. Sunday night, August 12 and will remain open until 2:00 a.m. Monday morning, August 13. Of course, meteors cannot be observed through a telescope so, instead, the Observatory's big telescope will be available to observe star clusters, clouds of interstellar gas and dust, and distant galaxies. If you just want to observe the meteor shower outside, there is no charge but you may also want to go inside the observatory to see what is being shown through the big telescope. If you do, regular admission charges will apply, however, in honor of the meteor "shower", anyone who comes in with some form of appropriate shower attire - a rain coat, an umbrella, a bar of soap, a towel, etc. - will receive $1 off regular admission. The best advice for meteor watchers is to find a dark sky, lay back and patiently watch the sky so, bring your blankets, lawn chairs, bug spray, and friends to watch this celestial light show at the Lake Afton Public Observatory. Almost everyone has looked up at the sky and seen a falling star. Of course you are not actually seeing a star that's falling. What you are seeing is a meteor. On any given clear, dark night, away from the lights of the city, a person may see up to a half-dozen meteors every hour. These meteors you see are just bits of rock that burn up when they run into Earth's atmosphere. Most of them are no larger than a grain of sand and they burn up in a fraction of a second. If you hap-
pen to see a bright meteor that lasts for more than a fraction of a second, you've probably seen something that is pebble-sized. A meteor that is fist-sized or larger will not only put on a spectacular light show but will likely survive the trip to the ground. A couple of dozen times each year, you can go out and see anywhere from a dozen to a few dozen meteors per hour. These are considered meteor showers. The best known and usually most intense of these is the Perseid meteor shower which occurs each year around August 12. To understand where the particles that make up meteor showers come from we have to understand a little bit about comets. The easiest way to describe a comet, especially when it is in the frigid depths of the solar system, billions of miles away from the sun, is to think of a dirty snowball that's ten miles across. This dirty snowball is the nucleus of the comet. As this comet nucleus approaches the sun, the sun's heat warms its surface, and it begins to boil. As the ice boils off, gas and dust particles are released and pushed away from the comet's nucleus by sunlight and the solar wind to form a tail. If this particular comet orbits the sun, then the dust particles that form the tail will continue to orbit the sun in roughly the same orbit as the comet from which they came. When Earth passes through one of these particle streams, the dust particles run into our atmosphere and we have a meteor shower. Every year, in the middle of August, Earth passes through the trail of dust particlcs left by the comet Swift-Tuttle, giving us the Perseid meteor shower. The Lake Afton Public Observatory is located about 20 miles southwest of downtown Wichita on MacArthur Road at 247th Street West in Lake Afton County Park. It is immediately north of the lake, just off MacArthur Road. The Lake Afton Public Observatory is operated by the Fairmount Center for Science and Mathematics Education, a part of the Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Science at Wichita State University. Additional support is provided by Sedgwick County.
