Kansas Dairy Ingredients to break ground Kansas Governor Sam Brownback will be on hand Thursday, August 16, 2012 to break ground for Hugoton’s newest business, Kansas Dairy Ingredients, which will begin construction of a dairy ingredient and cheese processing plant. The project was announced in April. The company will invest more than $20 million in the project and create 60 full-time jobs. Phase I of
the project is slated to be complete by the fourth quarter of 2012. Commerce Secretary Pat George, Agriculture Secretary Dale Rodman, Kansas Dairy Ingredients Chief Executive Officer Brent Davis and Chief Operation Officer Tim Gomez, along with other state and local officials will be in attendance for the ground breaking event. The groundbreaking will occur .4 miles east of
Hugoton along Highway 51 at 1:30 p.m. Participants should look for an access road and white tent along the north side of the highway. Please note, the weather forecast calls for a chance of rain Thursday. In case of rain, the alternate location for the groundbreaking will be at The Memorial Hall in the Stevens County Courthouse at 200 East Sixth Street in Hugoton.
Renew vehicle tags online Kansans looking to save time and gas by eliminating a visit to a county treasurer’s office can now take advantage of the state’s convenient online option for renewing vehicle tags without credit card or electronic check processing fees.

ers, tablets and cell phones to do everything from shopping to sharing photos, we want to make sure they also know they can conveniently renew vehicle registrations from the comfort of home,” Director of Vehicles Donna Shelite said. Most people have three options for renewing their tags. They can visit their county treasurers, renew by mail or renew online. The https://KSWeb Tags.org online renewal option is available to 1) anyone whose vehicle is registered in Kansas, 2) whose address on the renewal is current, and 3) who has vehicle insurance as required by law. The online service requires a personal identifinumber (PIN), cation which is printed on the registration renewal notices Kansans receive in the mail.
The 2012 National Night Out’s flashlight walk down Main Street caps the many festivities
Tuesday evening. Kids and adults alike march to support the Police Community Partnership.
National Night Out is great success A large crowd turned out at the Hugoton City Park to participate in National Night Out Tuesday evening, August 7, 2012. The event is sponsored by the Police Community Partnerships. The festivities began with Boy Scout Troop 189 presenting the colors for the National Anthem. A fun hot dog feed was offered afterward by the Stevens County Sheriff’s Department. Kids enjoyed the jump houses along with visiting
with McGruff, the Crime Dog. Kansas Wildlife and Parks offered a Jet Ski simulation for everyone to test their driving skills. Deputy K9 “Alle” demonstrated her drug finding abilities to the crowd. The Masonic Lodge helped participants with their Forensic Identity Kits. Stevens County Library presented a Book Walk. Curtis Crawford of Alert Alarms offered Plinko. Stevens County Fire Department / EMS gave tractor rides. Stevens County
Health Department advised about safety tips concerning Child Safety Seats. Martial Arts Academy students performed an exciting demonstration of their skills. Dillon Taylor, local Country Music singer, performed for the crowd and was called back for an encore. The Grand Finale for the fun evening was the flashlight walk down Main Street. The participants were all furnished with Glow Necklaces.
Airport Board hears update of FAA Apron Grant The Hugoton Municipal Airport Board assembled for their regular August meeting Wednesday, August 8, 2012 at the airport. Board members attending the meeting were Kim Harper, Robert Davis and Jeff Crawford. Also present were Hugoton Airport manager Gary Porter, Secretary Risa Norton, Hugoton Hermes reporter Ruthie Winget, and Kirkham Michael representatives Steve Irons and Eric Johnson. Board members Dax Gaskill and Dell Cullison were absent. FAA Apron Grant Steve Irons gave an update of the FAA apron grant. He reported Tarbet Construction was doing another job so they will be here in the middle of October. The project will include four precast tie-downs. He reported the $300,000 FAA grant is secure. The remaining $15,652 will be put on next year’s grant. The final closeout of the taxiway project is waiting for Tarbet to complete the drainage problem. Tarbet will finish the repairs before starting the Apron Project. Environment Assessment
Eric Johnson informed the board an Environment Assessment will be required before a land acquisition grant can be issued for the crosswind and primary runway expansion. The airport has easements at the end of the crosswind and primary runways but FAA wants the airport to own this land. This Environment Assessment assures FAA the land being purchased is not environmentally contaminated. The board passed a motion to approve the agreement to begin the process of a non-binding Environmental Assessment with Kirkham Michael. Manager’s report Porter informed the board members he had mowed everything around the airport. He had the airport pickup serviced and put four new tires on the vehicle. Porter checked the reil lights on the north end of the runway and got them working. He stated they received a new credit card machine and got it installed. Courtesy vehicle The manager reported some customers have
abused the use of the courtesy car. After some discussion, the board passed the motion to limit the use of a courtesy vehicle to 24 hours. Another motion was passed to have four new tires put on the courtesy car. The meeting adjourned. The next meeting is scheduled for September 5, 2012 at the airport.

National Night Out event in the Hugoton City Park last week.
Safety tips for students Safe Kids Kansas reminds parents to take time out to teach and review safety guidelines with their kids to get them back to school safely. “Whether it’s their first day of Kindergarten or they are returning after summer vacation, with this change in routine it’s important to review safety tips together. Don’t assume your child will automatically know the right steps to take to be safe,” says Cherie Sage, State Director for Safe Kids Kansas. School Bus Safety “School buses are, by far, the safest way for kids of all ages to get to and from school,” Sage says. School buses are designed with
safety features different than regular passenger vehicles. They are large and highly visible, and the padded, high-backed seats on school buses are close together to create protective compartments, like egg cartons. Sage suggests you explain this to your child so they understand why on a school bus they may not be buckling up with seat belts. It’s a different form of protection, but it can send a mixed message to kids when they realize they’re not buckling up in a vehicle. More significant dangers lie outside the school bus. “More children are killed or Continued to page 3

Dear Editor: Today, I am extremely sad to be a resident of the State of Kansas and a citizen of the United States. Even though I am married to Don Concannon, I have basically been “apolitical” my entire life. I do not like politics and this year’s primary election has reinforced my dislike. Nonetheless, I feel I must speak out. The old adage, “anything is better than what we have” does not always prove to be true, and I hope the citizens of Southwest Kansas do not rue the day they elected Larry Powell. What are his beliefs and what is his record in the House? Do you know? If you voted for Larry Powell based on his qualifications and voting record, I respect that. We all have the right to vote for the candidate we feel
The Republican and Democratic Parties have both adopted a ‘my way or the highway’ attitude and it is not accomplishing anything. Do we have a budget? Have they passed any legislation in Washington or Topeka through true debate and compromise for the benefit of our country and state? There is not a single person or business that could operate in this fashion and yet we allow our government to do so. Today is the first time in my life I am NOT proud to be an American or a citizen of Southwest Kansas and I pray that our leaders and politicians start to put their constituents and this country, and not their agendas, first. Sincerely, Sharon Concannon
Sharon Concannon is the most qualified. However, if you voted for Larry Powell based upon the negative literature, ads and phone calls you received from a special interest group that has more money than they can spend to further their agenda, shame on you for not doing your homework. It is absolutely amazing to me that special interest groups can use Photoshop and lies to elect someone. Steve Morris is not a perfect man. No one is, but he did not deserve to lose the Senate race based on the negative ads about him. I truly admire and respect him for taking the high road and not stooping to Washington politics to win -- it shows Steve’s honesty and integrity.

Rec budget a concern Dear Editor, Roger I realize the time for the public hearing for the recreation commission has passed. The hearing was held August 8, 2012. But, I am very concerned about the amount of money ($1,726,327.00 from $708,878.00) being budgeted for the recreation commission for 2012-2013 year. It seems to me that every year we see small increases in budgets within
the county and city which is normal I think. Here is my concern, over a one million dollar increase in one budget for next year. WOW, no lets do a double WOW-WOW! People I sometimes think that we need to rethink where we are going. But there again it's just me thinking out loud. Thanks for listening.

Continued from page 1 injured crossing the street at bus stops than riding on a school bus,” says Sage. “Teach your children about the tenfoot danger zone around the school bus, where the driver can’t see children on the ground.” Young children should take eight giant steps away from the bus to be sure the bus driver can see them and look to the bus driver for an “OK” sign before crossing. Safe Kids Kansas also reminds drivers to obey state laws that prohibit passing a stopped school bus. Children should also be reminded to: • Arrive at the stop at least five minutes before the bus arrives. • Stay out of the street and avoid horseplay. • Ask the bus driver for help if anything is dropped while entering or exiting the bus, or if they spot something under the bus, such as a pet. Walking to School Safe Kids Kansas recommends that children under ten never cross the street alone. Make sure you follow these additional safety guidelines: • Choose the safest route and walk it with children. Look for the most direct route with the fewest street crossings. Children should take the same route every day and avoid shortcuts. • Teach children to recognize and obey all traffic signals and markings. • Make sure children look in all directions before crossing the street. If a vehicle is approaching, wave and make eye contact with the driver before crossing the street. • Teach children to cross the street at a corner or crosswalk, never from between parked cars or from behind bushes or shrubs. • Warn children to be extra alert in bad weather. Visibility might be poor and motorists might not be able to see them or stop quickly. • Be a good role model. Children need you to not only tell them, but also show them how to be safe pedestrians. Riding Bikes to School Whether out of necessity or for fun, many children choose to ride their bikes to school. Unfortunately, bicycles are the most common sport/recreational product involved in injuries among five to 14-year olds. To keep children safe, Safe
Kids Kansas offers these safety tips for children riding bicycles to school: • Wear bike helmets at all times when bicycling. Helmets when worn correctly could prevent an estimated 75 percent of fatal head injuries and up to 45,000 head injuries to children who ride bikes each year in the U.S. • Follow the rules of the road. Ride on the right side of the road, with traffic, not against traffic; use appropriate hand signals; respect traffic signals; stop at all intersections; and stop and look before crossing the street. • Never let children ride on the road without direct adult supervision until age ten, and have demonstrated that they always follow the rules. Model safe behaviors and teach children the rules of the road. Children are more likely to learn safe behaviors from adults. • Plan a safe cycling route with children and ride it with them. A safe cycling route to school may not be the same as a safe walking route. • Do not ride at night. Children should not be allowed to ride after dark, and should wear retro-reflective clothing when biking at dawn, dusk, or during inclement weather. • Make sure schools provide cyclists with safe areas. Bike racks should be placed in areas where there are few motor vehicles and pedestrians. Avoid drop-off and pickup zones in school parking lots. Driving Children to School • Always use child safety
seats, booster seats, and safety belts correctly every time your children ride. Kids are required by Kansas law to be in a child safety seat or booster seat until they are at least eight years old, 80 pounds, or 4’ 9” tall. Children under age 13 should
always ride in the back seat whenever possible. For more information, visit http://www. kansasboosterseat.org. • Drop off children in a safe location so that they do not have to cross the street. Make sure they enter and leave the

ple and pets from getting sick is critical. So how do you stay safe around algae-tainted water? “It’s largely a matter of common sense,” says Mike Miller, information production section chief for the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT). “If food doesn’t look or smell good, we don’t eat it. It should be the same for water we wade or swim in. If a body of water has green or oddly-colored scum floating on it, stay out and keep your pets out.” Miller adds fish caught from these waters should be good to eat if properly cleaned and cooked. Blue-green algae blooms often resemble green or turquoise paint floating on the water. These blooms result when long-term build up of nutrients in the water (nitrogen and phosphorus) combine with hot weather and other environmental conditions to stimulate algae growth. In time, these algae blooms naturally die off. While blue-green algae blooms can be toxic to fish, fish kills can also result from 67951 oxygen depletion created by a number of factors not necessarily associated with bluegreen algae blooms. To support fish and other higher organisms, a pond or lake must have dissolved oxygen. Oxygen depletion is the most common cause of fish kills, and low oxygen occurs most often during periods of calm, cloudy, hot weather. Although Kansas has not experienced many cloudy days this summer, 100-degree days have scorched the landscape, and green algae has tinted most ponds this summer. Most dissolved oxygen in water comes from the atmosphere on windy days and as a byproduct of photosynthesis in aquatic plants such as filamentous algae (commonly
called "moss"), green algae, and coontail. If less sunlight penetrates deeper water - because of clouds or murky water - vegetation and oxygen content at deeper levels are reduced. Dissolved oxygen levels can also be affected by temperature. Colder water holds oxygen better, and very warm water easily loses oxygen. Atmospheric pressure is also a factor. Oxygen solubility increases as atmospheric pressure rises. Most fish kills occur in the early morning before the sun comes up, when dissolved oxygen levels are lowest, and, unfortunately, larger fish are usually the first to be affected. Ponds or lakes with large amounts of algae or phytoplankton can have high oxygen during the day, but at night, bacteria that feed on these dying plants use up oxygen. Herbicides or algaecides can help control aquatic vegetation and reduce the
chances of a fish kill. However, this must be done carefully to prevent rapid decomposition and further oxygen depletion. Other ways to prevent oxygen depletion include pumping or flowing water into a pond (especially in the early morning hours before sunrise); diluting runoff that adds nutrients to a pond; using a commercial aerator; reducing feed if artificial feeding is used; and maintaining proper fish density for the size of the pond.

Thou teachest even my enemies to become pupils of the Great Teacher. Thou leadest me gently from the known to the unknown. Thou givest me satisfaction in my day’s work. Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall be a learner in the school of the Great Teacher forever.
I teach them knowledge, but I know How faint they flicker and how low The candles of my knowledge glow.
We invite you to visit us at the museum, 905 S. Polk. Our hours are 10:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Saturday.

Family members found this bit of muslin packed with doll clothes in their attic when they were sorting through things after the death of the mother who was in her 90s. None of the children remember seeing it while they were growing up so it appears to have been hand-sewn by their mother when she was young. Can you help identify this?

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS By Brandon Werth Social Security District Manager in Dodge City BASEBALL (AND SOCIAL SECURITY) NUMBERS TELL STORIES Just as Social Security is an American cornerstone, baseball is America’s pastime. Baseball is an annual rite of summer and a game that is known for its numbers. Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak, Cal Ripken’s record 2,632 consecutive games played, and Hank Aaron’s 755 career home runs all tell stories greater than the numbers themselves. Mention any one of these numbers to a baseball fan and you’re sure to call to mind memories and stories. Social Security’s numbers tell stories too. The first lump sum Social Security payment of 17 cents was made to Ernest Ackerman in 1937. The first monthly Social Security check of $22.54 went to Ida May Fuller in January of 1940. This year, about 55 million Americans will receive $760 billion in Social Security benefits. The average monthly benefit for a retired worker in 2012 is $1,229. An estimated 159 million workers are covered under Social Security — that’s 94 percent of the workforce. Fifty percent of workers have no private pension coverage and 31 percent have no savings set aside specifically for retirement. These and other numbers make it easy to appreciate the value of Social Security. Ninety percent of Americans age 65 and older receive Social Security benefits. And among the unmarried, 41 percent rely on Social Security benefits for 90 percent of their income. Social Security is more than just retirement benefits. Disabled workers and their dependents account for 19 percent of the total benefits paid, while survivor’s benefits account for 12 percent. Almost one in four of today’s 20-year olds will become disabled before reaching age 67, and the majority of these workers have no long-term disability insurance besides their Social Security coverage. About one in eight of today’s 20-year olds will die before reaching age 67. Baseball and Social Security: America’s pastime and America’s retirement program. Both have long and storied histories and associations with statistics. Learn more about Social Security by visiting www.social security.gov.

Current LIEAP participants to receive supplemental funds for summer utility bills
The rocket at the elementary school is getting a face lift. Aaron Lulf and Chris Crawford, both city employees, brought a bucket truck to the elementary school. USD 210 employee Jose Badillo with the help of Chris got in the bucket and raised to the top to paint the very tip. The rocket was constructed in 1970 and for 42 years approximately 25,000 kids have enjoyed climbing to the top.
Kansas Department for Children and Families (DCF) Secretary Phyllis Gilmore announced Thursday that the federally funded Low Income Energy Assistance Program, administered by DCF, will provide a supplemental benefit to help with summer utility bills to those already participating in the program. The payments are made to the participants’ utility providers, not to beneficiaries. “The summer heat can take an incredible - sometimes fatal - toll on our most vulnerable populations - the elderly, disabled and struggling families,” said Secretary Gilmore. “This supplemental payment will help beneficiaries pay their bills, to keep them safe and comfortable during periods of temperature extremes.” The Low Income Energy Assistance Program provides
an annual payment to help qualifying households pay winter heating bills. Individuals with disabilities, elderly persons, and families with children are the primary groups assisted. In the winter of 2012, nearly 54,000 Kansas households received an average benefit of $182. This year, funding is available to provide an additional payment to the utility providers on behalf of participant households for energy costs incurred during the heat of summer. This is not a new applica-

From the August 9, 1940, issue of The Hugoton Hermes Your Home Town Paper Is Community Sparkplug By J.M. Banie There’s a song “The Old Rugged Cross,” that is dear to the hearts of everyone. And there’s the man that wrote the story of how to “Raise a child,” who never had a child and then there’s the man that wrote the story of how to conduct a home that never owned a home, and many other noteworthy happenings and stories that could be mentioned. But the hometown newspaper comes along and “rakes in the glory.” It’s come in for a lot of flaying and criticism, too, but it keeps rolling along. It tells of the crops, rains, dust storms and the sunshine, the good and bad, best and worst, swimming pool and other favored spots, flowers, society and crime, church and the school and boosts for the city and community. Speaking of swimming pools and holes, I remember back in the Northwest part of Missouri, Sampson Creek and Jacks Branch had their favored spots, the old swimming hole and fishing places with shady nooks. Many’s the happy time that has been spent there and the “old home town paper” printed flashing stories of same. The home town editor is ever on the job and lookout for news and walks the streets armed with pencil and paper pad ready to make notes of all happenings and when press day comes along he is sometimes short a galley or so but he keeps on digging until the climax is reached. His paper is first in peace and first in war; first in dust and rain and sometimes the old press or linotype goes haywire—the thickness of a hair sometimes put them out of tune or on the bum and it takes hours and hours and sometimes longer to get them back in running order. But with a song in his heart and with inky and greasy hands and face and hot as blazes or cold as all get
out, he goes merrily on until the sheet is out. When you married “the finest girl in the county”, where did you look for that notice that meant so much to you—and so little to nearly everyone else? In your home town paper. When your home was invaded by a blueeyed girl or a bouncing boy, to whom did you immediately give details about the time of arrival, sex and weight? The editor of the home town paper. In after years when some young fellow took the blue-eyed girl to a home of his own, or the boy, now a man, was given a partnership in your business, to whom did you tell the news, which once meant much to you and so little to everyone else? To this same editor of that same home town paper. And when trouble invaded your home and you add to your earthly possessions that desolate bit of real estate in the cemetery, and somehow the sun doesn’t seem to shine as brightly as it did, and there’s a flutter of crepe on the front door and the chair that has been beside you for years is vacant, when this happens, who is it that makes it his business to write up the obituary? Again, it’s the editor of the old home town paper. Did you ever stop to count the times you begin conversation with the words, “I see by the paper...”? Staying at home, you may not appreciate your home town paper, but take a trip and be away from your intimate friends for several months, and then pick up a copy. You will welcome it as you would your closest friend. In the main, it is the province of a newspaper to print the so-called crime news as it occurs. In so doing, it provides a safe-guard to the community at large, which is invaluable. Men are deterred from criminal actions by fear of publicity. Judicious use of printers
ink can do more toward law enforcement than a dozen peace officers. I remember one time, an apparently gross error, charged to an editor and his paper, happened when the make up man transposed two handsful of type. When the paper came out, an irate hostess called the editor and wanted to know why he had put the names of her bridge party guests in the Farm News column, just under the account of a sale of registered bulls. I am confident that all newspaper editors will go to heaven. No matter how eloquently the editor may boost for the development and progress of his community, no matter how diligently he may labor to build his home town, no matter how loyally he supports a friend in politics, extolls the virtues of a famous native son, and stretches the truth to praise a local prima donna-to-be or gently lays a metaphorical wreath on the grave of the departed, he seldom hears a “thank you.” Rarely does anyone say “well done.” Almost never does he hear “we appreciate that.” But let him make a slip. Let him say that Johnny Jones did something he didn’t do or Mrs. Sally Simpkins said something she did not. Everybody in town takes a whack at him. And that is why I believe that all newspaper men go to heaven. They get their share of hell on earth. Your home town editor is jealous of his subscribers and will fight to hold them. A story is told of an old time editor who lay dying. The pastor had been called to administer spiritual comfort. The physician bent over the supine form of the editor, placed his ear on his chest and said, “Poor man, circulation almost gone.” The dying editor’s eyes opened. “You’re a liar!” he shouted. “We have the largest circulation in the country.”

Heartland 4-H’ers enjoy barbeque and swimming
Heartland 4-H members work on their float in preparation for the Stevens County Fair Parade.
The July 2012 meeting of the Heartland 4-H Club met at the Pigs R Us warehouse July 24. The meeting was called to order by President Aaron Seaman. The flag salute, 4-H Pledge and motto were led by the President. Roll call was answered by “Here.” Secretary Adam Seamon read the minutes from the June meeting. The minutes were approved as read. Casle Heger gave the Treasurer’s report and Megan Bryan noted the report of the June meeting was submitted to The Hugoton Hermes. Leader Michelle Heger reminded all members to make sure they get their record books signed and ready to enter in the fair. Record books must be entered in order to show under 4-H in the fair. The fair parade starts at 5:00 pm Monday,
and all members are to meet at the park by 4:45 p.m. for judging of the floats. Michelle wished everyone good luck at the fair and she hopes everyone does well with their entries at the fair. Any member who had not done a presentation or talk was then invited to give a talk. There was no unfinished business. Under new business the members worked on the Heartland float for the parade. After the float was finished, a carry-in Bar B Que took place at City Park with swimming at the Hugoton Swimming pool. The next meeting for Heartland 4-H Club will be August 21 at 7:00 p.m. at the Stevens County 4-H building. Submitted by Megan Bryan, Heartland 4-H Club Reporter.
Heartland 4-H’ers and family members enjoy a bit of shade under the trees at the park during the club barbeque.

Emergency Drought Livestock Water Supply Initiative August 2012 Secretary of Agriculture, Dale Rodman has announced an Emergency Drought Livestock Water Supply Initiative to provide cost-share assistance to livestock producers in drought-stricken Kansas. The State Conservation Commission took action to approve funding of an initiative that will provide $500,000 of cost-share assistance targeted at improving existing livestock water supplies. All livestock water supply practices will be eligible for costshare assistance. The Division of Conservation (DOC) will provide $125,000 to each DOC administrative area in the State. Following is additional program guidance on the Emergency Drought Livestock Water Supply Initiative: • There will be a 45 day sign-up period ending September 15. • Applications will be accepted on a first-come firstserved basis. • Priority will be given to pastures where there is no livestock water supply at this time or there is a very limited livestock water supply that will significantly impact the use of the pasture for the upcoming winter or spring grazing season. • Projects that require a new livestock water supply, utilizing existing practice codes, will follow the districts program as far as project limits, landowner limits, county average costs and cost-share percentage. • The DOC will try and approve applications on a daily basis so landowners can start projects as soon as possible. • Water supply projects that have been started but not completed prior to the landowner making application will be eligible for costshare assistance. • The project completion date will be June 1, 2013. If you have any questions about the Emergency
Drought Livestock Water Supply Initiative, contact the Stevens County Conservation District office at 544-2991, extension three.

544-2261 USDA is an equal opportunity employer and provider Kansas Conservation and USDA Partnerships, Making History in Kansas This year marks the one hundredth and fiftieth anniversary of the Peoples Department, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, established by President Abraham Lincoln May 15, 1862. To honor that milestone at the Kansas State Fair, September 7-16, 2012, several conservation agencies and organizations chose the theme of Kansas Conservation and USDA Partnerships, Making History in Kansas. The booth is located across from the butter sculpture in the Pride of Kansas building. Fairgoers interested in natural resources conservation need to plan to stop at this booth and visit with con-
servationists, program specialists, foresters and others. Learn about each agency’s or organization’s programs and how you can use them. When you stop by the booth, ask for an educator packet loaded with information about a variety of natural resources, posters that will brighten bulletin boards, and coloring books that help young ones learn about natural resources. Try the trivia board and learn more about Kansas conservation of natural resources. Don’t forget to browse the publications for information about trees, conservation programs in Kansas, and more. Take time to sign up for a chance to win a rain gauge. One is given away each day. Those hosting the booth
will be as follows: The Kansas Conservation Partnership that includes the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Kansas Association of Conservation Districts (KACD), and the Division of Conservation, Kansas Department of Agriculture (DOC). The Kansas Forest Service (KFS) and the Kansas Forestry Association/Tree Farm Organization will be joining the group again. Farm Service Agency (FSA) will join the group for the first time.

Banks, Salina, with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), recently announced the evaluation cutoff date for Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) funds has been set for Friday, November 16, 2012. Applicants who request a conservation plan by close of business, Friday, August 31, 2012, will receive additional points in the ranking process. “Landowners and/or operators with eligible cropland, rangeland, or forestland with any EQIP concerns such as soil, water, air, plants, or animals can apply,” said Banks. “I encourage landowners to apply at their local NRCS field office by the end of August and work with staff to develop a conservation plan.” In Kansas, socially disadvantaged, limited resource, and beginning farmers and ranchers will receive a higher payment rate for conservation practices related to EQIP. Developing the Conservation Plan “NRCS believes it is important that landowners and/or producers have a conservation plan on their land,” said Banks. “NRCS planners are available in every county. The planner will walk your land with you and listen to your goals and ideas relating to conserving your natural resources - soil, water, air, plants and animals. From your input, the planner will develop the plan and discuss it with you, making sure it is what you envisioned.” “The conservation plan is provided free of charge,” said Banks, “and you will be ready to signup for Farm Bill programs as they are an-
nounced.” Value of a Conservation Plan Taking the time to invest in the development of a conservation plan allows producers to combine their farming skills with science-based knowledge and the skill of the conservation planner. With alternatives provided by the NRCS planner, producers can select the best possible combination of conservation practices to meet natural resource needs and individual management production goals. Additional benefits of a conservation plan include helping producers meet environmental regulations, qualify for various USDA conservation programs, and establish a reasonable schedule for applying needed conservation practices that fits a producer’s timeline and available resources. Addressing resource concerns through a
comprehensive conservation plan can also boost the financial value of the land itself for the future. Be Ready for The Next Farm Bill Signup For more information on how you can get started developing a conservation plan and be ready for the next conservation program signup, contact your local USDA Service Center and visit the NRCS office. To find a service center near you, check in your telephone book under “United States Government” or on the Internet at offices.usda.gov.

ROLLA NEWS By Mary Courtney
August 13 - 17 Morton County Health Fair - free to all who participate continues through Friday, August 17.
Rolla performs well at Morton County Fair The Morton County Fair has ended, but it is just the beginning for many preparing for the State Fair. Jessica Johns won the horse and dog showmanship and took the Reserve Champion in showmanship with her lamb and goat. She will no doubt saddle up that horse at the State Fair, as she was a champion there last year. Katie Murray also had success with her lamb and goat, and will be baking up her blue ribbon recipe to take to Hutchinson. Deserae Schwindt qualified for the State event in photography and rabbit. Desi will be joined at the State Fair by her little brother Jaxon as he took first place in his age group in the tractor pull. More information about individual achievements will be reported soon. Pat and Darl Floyd took the lion's share of champion ribbons in the food preservation category, but Zeta Greene and Rachel Dunn filled their baskets with ribbons for outstanding exhibits as well. Duane and Zeta
Greene and the Floyds brought in many beautiful vegetables and fruits from their gardens. Some of the produce ended up in refrigerators of their friends, who appreciated the efforts during evening meals. The young people at the fair enjoyed mud volleyball, a medallion hunt, and the kiddie carnival. Root beer floats were a hit. The traditional favorite elicited smiles and moans of delight as kids young and old mixed the root beer with the ice cream. The hot dog and bratwurst feed Friday afternoon brought people of all ages from throughout the county, and they caught up on news while enjoying the meal. County officials and employees served the barbecue Saturday evening. It drew a large crowd that later migrated to the rodeo. Although those who prepared all year for their entries into the fair are relieved the fair is over, the anticipation for next year's fun and fellowship will drive the participants to begin planning for the future.

With the predominance of male athletes featured on television and covered in the media year-round, most Americans are familiar with some of the most common injuries sustained by men in various sports. As the 2012 Summer Games approaches, female athletes will have additional opportunities to be featured, but are their potential injury risks the same as their male counterparts? “Women are more likely to have a different set of injuries because of the types of sports they play or due to inherent differences in anatomy or muscle control and responses,” says Dr. Kim Templeton, an orthopedic surgeon at The University of Kansas Hospital and Professor of Orthopedic Surgery in the University School of Medicine. “Women can help reduce their potential for an injury by understanding these differences and attempting to modify those factors that can be addressed, such as relative weakness of some muscles or avoiding positions that place them at higher risk for injury.” Dr. Templeton, who is senior editor and co-author of the upcoming book “Women’s Sports Injuries,” lists the following injuries as most common for female athletes. ACL Tears: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a tight band of tissue that binds together the bones in the knee to keep the joint stable. While men typically tear this ligament as a result of direct contact, women are more likely to tear it due to the positions in which they land. This injury is common among female soccer and basketball players, the latter primarily due to the way they inherently land from a jump. When landing with their hips and knees straight, this forces the knee to straighten beyond its natural range, causing the ACL to pull apart. One way to help prevent this injury is to build up strong hamstrings, which will take pressure off the ACL. Another strategy is to learn different landing techniques, especially those where the
hips and knees are bent. Concussions: Concussions occur more frequently in women than in men, for those sports played by both genders. As with the other sports-related injuries, there are probably several factors that lead to this, including weaker neck muscles in women to absorb impact and stabilize the head, differences in inherent preparation for contact around the head and a greater difference between the size of the head and the size of the ball for sports such as soccer. Responses to concussions also differ between the sexes, with men and women showing different areas of deficits in the short and long term after the injury. The first concussion increases the risk of sustaining a second concussion. Athletes, families and coaches need to be aware of the signs and symptoms of concussions. Athletes need to be kept out of practice and competition until these signs and symptoms are resolved. “Runners Knee” or Anterior Knee Pain Syndrome: This is caused by irritation of the cartilage on the undersurface of the kneecap and is more common in women due to the alignment of the pelvis and legs and also due to inherent, relative differences in muscle strength. To avoid runner’s knee, use proper running shoes with adequate support. In addition, focus on strengthening the quadriceps, the muscles in front of the thigh that straighten your knee and control your knee cap. For women, it is also important to strengthen the muscles that turn your hip out, as this will help with the positioning of the knee cap during activities. Stress Fractures: They are small cracks in a bone, often developed from overuse and/or low bone mass. Stress fractures occur when bone is not allowed the time necessary to recuperate from the impact of sports activities, especially if athletes rapidly increase their training or change running surfaces. Stress fractures are also more common in women with low bone mass,
as it does not respond and strengthen as quickly in response to increasing activities levels, as normal bone. Stress fractures can likely be prevented by gradually increasing activity, building strong, sturdy calves that absorb the shock around your bones, wearing well-cushioned sports shoe that are in good condition and developing healthy bone habits (e.g., taking in enough calories to support the athlete’s level of activity, adequate calcium and vitamin D intake). Sprained Ankle: Ankle sprains occur commonly in female than male basketball players. These can be caused by simply rolling your ankle – whether by landing wrong on an uneven surface or due to increased friction between your shoes and the playing surface. Differences between men and women in terms of this injury are most likely due to differences in how the pelvis and legs are aligned, as well as differences in how loose ligaments are. Strengthening and balancing exercises can help avoid a sprained ankle. These exercises are especially important for those athletes who have had a prior ankle sprain, as this places them at higher risk of an addition ankle injury. For those with prior injuries, examine the position in which the sprain occurred and focus on maneuvers that avoid that movement. Meniscus Tears: The meniscus is a rubbery, c-shaped disc that cushions your knee. The two menisci in each knee help keep your knee steady by balancing your weight across the knee. To help prevent meniscus tears, work on stretching and strengthening your legs. If an injury does occur, Dr. Templeton recommends discussing this with your health care professional. For minor injuries of the legs, the commonly used RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation) protocol may be all that is needed. Continued pain after a few days suggests a followup with your local doctor. More significant injuries will
need additional evaluation and treatment. Rest. Take a break from the activity that caused the injury. Your doctor may recommend that you use crutches to avoid putting weight on your leg. Ice. Use cold packs for 20 minutes at a time, several times a day. Do not apply ice directly to the skin. Compression. To prevent additional swelling, wear an elastic compression bandage (not too tight, more compression isn’t necessarily better). Elevation. To reduce swelling, recline when you rest, and put your leg up higher than your heart.

MOSCOW NEWS by Melissa Moore
The drought has had devastating effects on crops this year as seen in this picture of this dry,
brown, hurting corn crop just outside of Moscow.
Moscow appreciates Margaret Bell, Christine Suddeth and Tia Bell for working the voting booths at the Moscow United Methodist
Church. Regardless of how you feel about the results of the election, we are blessed to live in a country where your vote counts.
Moscow City Council decides to install drop collection box The regular meeting of the Moscow City Council was called to order by Council President Jon Lund. Council members Jim Rawlins, Linda Shaddix, Denise Shoff and Bill Suddeth were present. Mayor Billy Bell was absent. Others present were Janie Gaskill, Sandy Mitchell, Bryan Muncy, Terry and Zach Pierson and Undersheriff T.J. Steers. The minutes for the regular meeting July 11, 2012, at 7:00 p.m. were presented and approved unanimously. August's accounts payable were presented. Motion to approve was unanimous. Janie presented the Treasurer’s Report. Moscow resident Zach Pierson told the Council he was working toward becoming an Eagle Scout and would like to do his Eagle Project by building benches for Moscow City Park. Brief discussion followed and the council requested permanent benches that could not be moved. Zach will take his idea to the Eagle Board for their ap-
proval. The Council updated T.J. about how well the registration of dogs is going and the changes to the dog ordinance had been made, but not approved yet. There was no new business. In old business a question had come up about how PTO may be taken. The council discussed this and employees may take PTO by the hour. Sandy updated the council on the City's offer to Steve Munson to buy the sheds. The offer was accepted. A motion was made to purchase the sheds and approved with four votes and one abstention. City Superintendent Bryan Muncy reported with the problems Moscow is having with the wells and with no variable speed drive at the number four well, he thinks the City should postpone having the water tower cleaned at this time. Sandy will call Preferred Tank and Tower and have it postponed until late September or Octo-

ber. Discussion followed about a variable speed drive for the number four well. Bryan is to get bids. Bryan also stressed the problems he had finding parts when repairs were needed recently on the number four well. The council discussed this and asked Bryan to stock some parts. Sandy presented the City Clerk report and answered a question on her inquiry about drop boxes. It was decided to put a mail slot in the door and attach a metal basket to the inside of the door to accommodate those who cannot get to City Hall when it's open. A thank you from the Stevens County Library was shared. The council was notified about changes in the software company used by the city, and updated contact information was passed out. A request was received from the school to donate to help pay for the T-shirts Moscow students buy as a pass into ballgames. After discussion
the council agreed to give the same as last year. Motion to adjourn was made and approved unanimously. The next regular meeting of the City Council will be September 12, 2012, at 7:00 p.m. The public is invited to attend.

Peach Time Now that the fair is over things are getting back to normal here at the Extension Office. I have enjoyed several delicious peach pies this summer, and I always look forward to this time when the Colorado peaches are for sale. The best way to enjoy a peach is fresh, with the skin on. This provides you with the most nutrients and fiber. But, some of us like to enjoy that fresh taste year round and choose to freeze or can fresh peaches. Here are some basic guidelines and information if you are planning to preserve your peaches. A bushel of peaches weighs 50 pounds and yields 19 to 25 quarts. An average of 17½ pounds makes a 7-quart canner load; 11 pounds makes nine pints. An average of one and a quarter pounds makes one pint of frozen product. This is important to know when purchasing your fruit, so you don’t over or under purchase. Freezing Freeze only up to two pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer capacity per day. Select well-ripened fruit and handle carefully to avoid bruising. Sort, wash and peel. Note: Peeling without a boilingwater dip gives a better product. Slice or halve peaches, as desired.
Syrup pack: Dissolve two cups of sugar in three cups of lukewarm water, mixing until clear, then chill before using. For a better quality product, add one-half teaspoon of crystalline ascorbic acid for each quart of syrup. Slice the fruit directly into the syrup in the container, starting with onehalf cup of syrup to a pint container. Press the fruit down, add syrup to cover leaving head space, seal, and freeze. Sugar pack: Before combining the peaches with sugar, treat with the following solution to prevent darkening: one-quarter teaspoon of crystalline ascorbic acid to onequarter cup of cold water. Dissolve the crystalline ascorbic acid in cold water and sprinkle over one quart (one and one-third pounds) of fruit. Mix two-thirds cup of sugar with each quart of
fruit. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Pack into containers leaving head space, seal, and freeze. Unsweetened pack: Pack the peaches into containers. Cover with cold water, juice, or pectin syrup, containing one teaspoon of crystalline ascorbic acid for each quart; leaving head space, seal, and freeze. To make pectin syrup, combine one package regular powdered pectin in one cup water. Heat to boiling and boil for one minute. Add one and three-quarters cups cool water. Cool. Makes about three cups. Unsweetened Puree: Coarsely crush peaches that are peeled and pitted. Press the peaches through a sieve, or puree in a blender or food processor. (Heating pitted fruit for about four minutes in just enough water to prevent scorching makes them easier to puree.) For
better quality, add one-eighth teaspoon of crystalline ascorbic acid to each quart of fruit. Pack into containers leaving head space, seal, and freeze. To package, fill pint- or quartsize freezer bags or rigid freezer containers. Fill bags to a level of three to four inches from the tops, squeeze out the air, seal, and label. Before freezing, the bags may be inserted into reusable, rigid-plastic freezer containers for added protection against punctures and leakage. There is also information available for canning peaches to eat as well as for making peach pie filling, peach jam and preserves. If you need more information about canning peaches contact the Stevens County Extension Office. Enjoy the final taste of summer with fresh peaches!

History From The Hermes Compiled by Ruthie Winget
Thursday, August 23, 2007 Sydney Beesley, age five, competed in the Kansas Our Diamond Miss Pagaent in June and received the Grand Overall Talent Queen title. She portrayed herself as Pinocchio. Lawson Fiss, son of Andy and Ashley Fiss, graduated from level I of the Future Astronaut Training Program of the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center. Thursday, August 15, 2002 Jade Hernandez has fulfilled her dream of going overseas. Jade, a recent graduate of Hugoton High School, was invited to be a part of the N.S.K All-Star volleyball team. Only three girls from Kansas are part of this AllStar team. The team participated in the international games played in Australia this summer.

Thursday, August 19, 1982 A new jewelry and watch repair establishment is planning to open its door in Hugoton soon. Paul McCarley in association with David Meek hopes to have the building at 600 S. Monroe prepared for their opening. Thursday, August 17, 1972 Kenneth Pfaff, Hugoton High School teacher, has been selected as the most outstanding teacher of Vocational Agriculture.

FIRST MOTOR HEARSE — Carter E. Prine operated the first motor hearse in Stevens County, 1916 to 1922. The chassis was from what appears to be an Overland and the body came from a horse-drawn hearse. P.D. Smith extended the chassis sufficient to accommodate the body. The driver’s cab was constructed by Mr. Smith and Mr. Prine. Carter came to Hugoton from Tyrone, Ok. Prine and Smith operated a furniture store where Gambles is now located. Prine sold to Smith who operated the store for a while as a variety store. Prine, who was also in the tin shop business, sold the

A bouncing baby boy, James Patrick Arange, was born to Roy and Martha Arange Friday, August 17, 1962. Thursday, August 21, 1952 Cpl. Harold Mueller, son of Mr. and Mrs. H.E. Mueller, has been released from active Army duty and placed on a reserve status. He has been on furlough for six weeks, returning home from Korea when his father became ill during harvest. Mueller entered the Army in July 1951 and went overseas in January. He will continue to farm for his father. Willis Hewitt, formerly of Forgan and Beaver, Ok., became the manager and operator of the Gulf Service Station in Hugoton.

business and then established the funeral home where it is now located. Mrs. Prine died in 1944 and Mr. Prine sold the funeral home in 1946 to Otis and Jane Rogers. Carter was married to Zana Madden in 1947. Carter recalls the hardest years were during the “dust bowl” days when he would have as many as six bodies at the funeral home awaiting for a clear period to hold funerals. Many times he was caught on the road and had to wait many hours for the dust to clear before he could proceed. From the August 10, 1961, issue of The Hugoton Hermes.
