A special meeting of the hospital/nursing home board was called to order Friday, August 22, 2014, at 7:00 a.m. in the hospital community room.

Windy is a hunter, but he just hunts audiences, and he does believe in the catch-andrelease system. Only with Windy the release comes only after he’s had his say. One of those places is a waist-high brick wall just outside the doors to the post office. It’s one of Windy’s favorite ambush spots. The game traffic gets heavy there around lunch hour, too. Windy waited until he had three people coming out at the same time. “Hot enough for ya?” he said, jovially. Not content to wait for an answer, he just dove right in. “Memorates me of the summer of ’67. Hot? I’ll say!

Consumer Corner by Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt Tech support scams aim to take over your computer, not to fix it In last month’s column, we mentioned a few telephone scams involving a scammer impersonating someone to try to get into your wallet, usually by wiring them money. But, there’s another type of phone scam going on that also aims to steal your personal information and maybe even hijack your computer. In this scam, the caller will say they are with a well-known computer company, like Microsoft, and they need to install an update on your computer to keep you protected from viruses. If you will just give them a little bit of information about your computer they would be happy to install the update for you. But, instead of protecting your computer from a virus, the scammer is actually trying to install one that will let them take over your computer. Once you give them access, they can see all of your files, including any personal or financial records you have saved. They may also use your computer to send out spam emails or viruses to your contacts. In addition to accessing your computer, the scammer may try to sell you antivirus software, extended warranties or technical support services you do not need. These can result in
monthly charges to your credit card. If you do need help with your computer, ask a trusted friend or family member, or take it to a reputable electronics store for help. Never give out personal information, passwords, computer serial numbers or your IP address to a stranger on the phone. If you’ve fallen victim to one of these scams, take your computer in to a reputable electronics store to have any viruses or harmful software removed. Once you have confirmed harmful software has been removed, change your computer’s password, and the passwords to any important Web sites you may have accessed while your computer was compromised, such as online banking or credit card Web sites. You can also file a complaint with our Consumer Protection Division online at www.InYour CornerKansas.org or call 800432-2310. Editors’ Note: The Hugoton Hermes heard from a reader JUST LAST WEEK reporting someone called her and said her computer had a virus and they would help her “fix it”. Fortunately, she was wise enough not to give out any personal information, including passwords and/or usernames, and the scammer was not able to access her computer.

Planned KDOT Projects will improve roads and bridges, create jobs Hundreds of projects that will improve Kansas roads and bridges, as well as create short- and long-term jobs, have been scheduled by the Kansas Department of Trans-

Russell Child Development Center (RCDC) board members represent a diverse population of business/ employers and other community figures from within the counties in RCDC’s 18county service delivery area. The ten-member board meets monthly to oversee all agency programs, which are designed to serve young children and their families and promote child development. All of these programs are free of charge to families of children ages birth to five. The RCDC Board of Directors was recently asked to share why they volunteer their time. My name is Linda Lobmeyer. I was born and raised in Garden City. I graduated from Kansas State University with a bachelor’s of arts degree in English and from Washburn Law School. I am an attorney with Bors Law, P.A. My favorite things in life include long walks in beautiful places, writing, reading and spending time with my family and friends. Some of my earliest memories include watching my mother and all of the other volunteers work and lay the foundation for Russell Child Development Center when it was located on Garden City Avenue. I chose to be on the Board of Directors because early childhood education is crucial to our community’s future. I believe the more tools and support we can give parents to further their child’s development the better - not only for the child and his family - but for the entire community. Russell Child Development Center’s mission is close to my heart because of the work I watched my mother do as a child when she was on the board of directors. I hope I serve that
legacy with full fervor and that the children of Southwest Kansas continue to benefit from this amazing organization.” The Board of Directors is always interested in hearing your feedback. If you would like to contact them or are interested in volunteering as a board member please call Deanna Berry at 620-2750291. Current RCDC Board Members: •James A. Davis, President Brungardt Hower Ward Elliot & Pfeifer, Garden City, Ks. •Linda Lobmeyer, Vice President - Bors Law, P.A., Garden City, Ks. •Jeremy Roderick, DO, Treasurer - Plaza Medical Center, Garden City, Ks. •Lindsay Byrns, MD, Community Representative - Siena Medical Clinic, Garden City, Ks. •Trish Ebert, Community Representative - Former child-care provider Garden City, Ks. •Trina Delgado, Parent Representative - Superintendent of Schools of Catholic Diocese of Dodge City, Principal at St. Dominic Elementary School, Garden, City, Ks.
cludes 464 highway projects, 194 bridge/interchange projects and 1,603 miles of improvements. “This continues the steady flow of work – and the construction jobs created by that work – under the ten-year TWORKS transportation program passed during the 2010 legislative session,” said Transportation Secretary Mike King. Secretary King was in Liberal, Wichita and McPherson last week to make the announcement. The estimated cost of the work, for which construction will be underway during the
2015 and 2016 fiscal years, is $1.2 billion. About 65 percent of the projects are considered preservation work, which will protect the investment Kansans have already made in the state’s public road system. “The construction work will create jobs for hundreds of workers, who will spend their paychecks in communities all over the state, spreading the benefits far beyond the construction industry,” said Secretary King. “But the better news is the long-term job prospects these improvements will help make possible.”

School Board Continued from page 1 recommendations to pass on to the City Council at their September meeting. The board voted to approve the 2014-2015 budget. The BOE reluctantly agreed to a budget, raising the local mills by a total of 4.8. Since 20092010, the district valuation has dropped 55 percent (from $344 million to $155 million) due to the drop in price and production of natural gas. This has caused local property taxes funding the Local Option Budget (LOB) and Bond and Interest to significantly increase as each year Stevens County’s valuation has dropped. In 2009-2010 school year, the 15year bond note to pay the new facilities was 6.4 mills. This year these mills jumped to 11.4. In addition, school finance funding from Topeka has been stagnant. If you factor inflation, the funding per student has declined. This is why the district is considering cost reductions, even though it is blessed with an ever-increasing enrollment.

vative Council's input for USD 210 to become an Innovative District as described in HB 2319 with a 6-1 vote. The district received input from the Innovative Council on this issue Tuesday evening. USD 210 desires to receive this designation to put the district in a position to ensure college and career readiness for all students. In the process of identifying state laws that are hindrances, USD 210 has also discovered some assessment “best practices” to put in place. The district is hopeful they can earn an exemption from state assessments, especially at the high school level. One major item removed from the application was the request to not give the Kansas English Language Profiency Assessment or “KELPA”. The KELPA is the Kansas version of an English language proficiency test. The revised Activities Handbook for 2014-2015 was approved. The main changes in the handbook involve eligibility at Hugoton High School. The board approved the updated Coaching and Extra Duty pay assignments. Also approved were the contracts for Helen Bunyan, Jennifer Burrows, Jan Kilbourne and Judy Seaman per superintendent’s recommendation. The board approved administrator contracts as per the sup e r i n t e n d e n t ’ s
recommendation. The board also approved the superintendent’s contract for Mark Crawford for one year with a three percent increase. The board pre-approved a Parson's grant application for new Channel 12 equipment to broadcast on the local educational access channel. The board voted to allow senior Kiara Quillen to graduate after the Fall 2014 Semester if all of her coursework and HHS graduation requirements have been successfully completed. The Negotiated Agreement between teachers and the Board negotiators for the 20142015 school year was approved. The board voted to approve the low bid for changing the fan coil on four air conditioning units, in two HHS classrooms from Weber Refrigeration Heating & Air Conditioning Inc. for $19,980. These units are in Ms. Wold’s and Mr. Rodriquez’s rooms. They are A/C air handling units from the 1980s. The board approved the bids to make two A/C unit repairs at HHS, one from Weber Refrigeration Heating & Air Conditioning Inc. for $8,650 and one from Lin Goode & Co. for $3,540.

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS By Chad Ingram Social Security District Manager in Hutchinson
WOMEN AND SOCIAL SECURITY Women’s Equality Day was August 26, and this is the perfect time to remind you how much Social Security values and appreciates women. Even though men and women with identical earnings histories receive the same benefits, there are things women in particular should know about Social Security. There are trends and differences in lifestyle and patterns of earnings that can affect benefits. For example, some women may be caregivers for many people: spouses, children, and parents. Taking time away from the workplace to care for a newborn child, ailing spouse, or aging parent can have an impact on your future Social Security benefits. Also, despite significant strides through the years, women are more likely to earn less over a lifetime than men. In addition, women are less likely than men to be covered by private retirement plans, so they are more dependent on Social Security in their retirement years.
Did you know that women tend to live on average about five years longer than men? This means more years depending on Social Security and whatever other retirement income or savings they accumulate. If a woman’s spouse earns significantly more than she does, it is very possible she will qualify for a larger benefit amount on the spouse’s record than on her own. To learn more, visit our Women’s page at www.socialsecurity. gov/women and read, print, or listen to our publication, What Every Woman Should Know. You may also be interested in listening to Carolyn Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, on National Public Radio as she talks about women and money. Just visit www.npr.org/ 2014/04/15/301782870/social-security-chief-womenlive-longer-so-they-shouldsave-early.

Onions I am a crier, not just at movies and commercials, but in the kitchen. I seem to have a knack for getting the most pungent onions ever, and then crying uncontrollably when I am slicing and dicing. Thus, I was very excited to read a recent article on the science of onions. This led to more research and reading, and a plan to use the new - and old information I knew - in my next column. There are two main classifications of onions, green onions (also called scallions) and dry onions, which are simply mature onions with a juicy flesh covered with dry papery skin. There are hundreds of varieties of onions, although most commonly they are referred to by color varieties. Yellow onions are typically full-flavored and are the onions of choice for everyday use. The red onion is often used fresh when its color livens up the dish. It is also commonly used when grilling. And white onions are traditionally used in classic Mexican cuisine. Pungent vs. Mild In general, onions can be thought of as either pungent (best for cooking) or mild (best for eating raw). The only way you can know you are getting a mild onion is to purchase a trademarked mild variety. This may include Bermuda, Maui, Supasweet, Vidalia or the Walla Walla onion. But there are a few other tricks to help you select a milder onion. All three color varieties can be mild or pungent, so don’t rely on color as a predictor. Instead, check the skin and the neck of the onion. Most pungent onions will have a drier, tighter neck and thicker skin. This is due to a curing process that dries their outer scales and causes their necks to shrivel, sealing off the bulb to moisture and allowing it to keep longer. Milder onions tend to have broader necks and thinner skins, both of which
make them more perishable. You might think of them in terms of people. Younger people have tighter necks and thicker skin, where with age people typically get broader, looser necks and thinner skin! Another trick is to give it a mild squeeze. Pungent onions will often feel firm compared to mild varieties. For pungent onions, look for a smooth, rockhard and heavy onion. But do be careful to avoid onions with soft spots, which indicate bruised and rotting flesh. Cutting Onions When it comes to cutting up your onions, these tips can help reduce those red, onion eyes. 1. Avoid using the onion’s core when serving onions raw. The inner layers have a higher concentration and stronger flavor. 2. Cover your eyes. It does help to wear some type of goggles if cutting onions bothers your eyes. 3. Lighting a flame near where you are cutting can help by oxidizing the sulfuric propanethial S-oxide from the onion, which causes the tears. 4. Slicing with the grain (top to bottom) ruptures fewer cell walls in the onion and creates fewer sulfur molecules. 5. Soaking onions for just five minutes in water, milk or vinegar can be an effective way to make your onions milder. When it comes to using onions, I love cooking them to a deep caramelization that makes them sweet and delicious. If you are looking for that sweet, complex flavor it is best to cook your onions low and slow. For a more tender onion, it is best to season it with salt before cooking, rather than after. It also provides a deeper seasoning and may allow you to use less salt before than you might use afterwards. Because mild onions are higher in sugar than pungent ones, they will taste less complex and deep in flavor when cooked.

What’s Happenin with Hugoton Students?
Shayla Shank, Cierra Yarbrough, Shelby Brechbuhler, Yesica Calleja, Tiffany Mangels and Amber Baeza, students at Hugoton Middle School, take a moment to show off their fiercest poses during the back to school dance last Thursday evening.
Hugoton Learning Academy at 529 S. Main Street is packed full of new students beginning the 2014-2015 school year. Students and teachers alike were excited to start a fresh semester last week.
Hugoton High School sophomores Roman Lindstrom and Hunter Dale incorporate HHS math teacher Mrs. Toya Gustafson’s “consumer to creator” based curriculum. Students will evaluate and store key concepts and information in their personal math portfolios to be used in future math classes.

Keep Calm Hugoton Elementary third grade teacher Mrs. Leisa Hittle greets her new students during
HES’s first day back to school last Thursday, August 18. Keep calm and learn on!
This year, don’t be surprised at all if your student brings home various versions of the popular “Keep Calm” sign - it’s USD 210’s motto for the 2014-2015 school year. “Keep Calm and Carry On” was a motivational poster produced by the British government in 1939 to prepare for World War II. They were intended to raise the morale of the British public. However, the poster was never publicly displayed and remained mostly forgotten until a copy was rediscovered in 2000. Today, the poster has taken on a life of its own - as you can see throughout the hallways of Hugoton schools. Keep Calm and Learn On!

Kansas Pre-Proposals Approved to Submit Full Proposals for RCPP Funding The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) new Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) drew an overwhelming response from partners across the nation. Of the 600 pre-proposals submitted in July, about 230 were accepted to continue the process by submitting full proposals by October 2, 2014. “The RCPP offers a unique opportunity to harness innovation and welcome new partners into the conservation mission. The program puts our partners in the driver’s seat, allowing them to find creative solutions to the conservation issues in their areas,” NRCS Chief Jason Weller said. The RCPP provides a way for private companies, tribes, local communities, and non-government partners to collaborate and invest in cleaner water and air,

healthier soil, and enhanced wildlife habitat. It will enable USDA to partner with third parties or work directly with producers in watersheds and other critical conservation areas to leverage private sector funding to maximize conservation investments. Applicants from across the nation applied to the program, requesting more than six times the $394 million in available funding. Partners identified the resources they would bring to the table in order to leverage USDA’s investment. By mid-July, partners had submitted pre-proposals for rigorous evaluation, including 201 for projects related to eight previously designated critical conservation areas, 60 for multi-state and national-level projects, and 278 for state-level projects, including three from Kansas. Applicants chose between three funding pools, the Critical Conservation Area (CCA), the National, and the State. Kansas’ pre-proposals now moving on to the next step will receive funding consideration from one in the National and two in the State funding pools. “The amount of pre-proposals from Kansas and across the nation show a like-minded determination to better the quality of our lands and their ecosystems,” said Kansas State Conservationist Eric B. Banks. “As the program grows, we expect to see Kansas’ forwardthinking and proposal counts grow with it.” The RCPP was made possible by the 2014 Farm Bill. The Farm Bill builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past five years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers. Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for ruralmade products; and investing in infrastructure, housing, and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America.

Hugoton FFA chapter attends State conference for chapter leaders In the popular Mission Impossible movie series, the common goal of Ethan Hunt and his team is to accept and complete a seemingly impossible mission. The concept of developing a mission was taken to a whole new level by six individuals of the Hugoton FFA Chapter at the 2014 State Conference for Chapter Leaders (SCCL) June 30 to July 2 at Rock Springs Ranch, south of Junction City. Members of the Hugoton FFA Chapter joined over 280 Kansas FFA members on a journey to further develop their ability to lead their local FFA chapter and develop a chapter mission statement. Throughout the conference, the six state FFA officers related the Mission Impossible movies to being a chapter leader and “making the impossible possible.”
SCCL gives chapter FFA leaders the chance to make many discoveries for their up-coming year of service. Key points the members learned and experienced during the conference included vision, expectations, purpose, growth, being a role model, challenging the status quo, and creating a shared vision. Through workshops facilitated by both the State FFA officers and a select group of agricultural education instructors, the students experienced the importance of these points first hand. State FFA President Taylor Green said, “Throughout the week, it was incredible to see so many chapter leaders develop their leadership potential and get excited for the year ahead. Their hard work to develop vision statements for their chapters will
allow all Kansas FFA members to share common goals to strive toward this year.” The State Conference for Chapter Leaders is presented by the Kansas FFA State Officer Team, the Kansas FFA Association, and sponsored in part by Cargill and Crop Production Services. The Kansas FFA Association, part of the National FFA Organization, has almost 9,000 student members preparing for careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture in 171 local chapters across the state. FFA strives to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.

Hugoton I want to give a BIG Chamber Shout Out to the organizers of the High Plains Music Fest that was presented in Hugoton Saturday, August 16.

Another event making Hugoton a special place to live! Kudos to Josh Morris, Stevens County Extension Ag Agent, for presenting a very interesting program at our August Chamber Lunch last week about the drought we are experiencing in this area. He did a demonstration concerning the effects of the drought and the wind and the importance of soil conservations methods to help us protect the valuable top soil from damaging erosion. Now for upcoming events! This Friday, August 29, do not miss the Hugoton High School Sports Boosters Annual Watermelon Feed.

Did you know? The term colorblindness is misleading. Many people who are colorblind are actually color deficient, which means they have difficulty distinguishing certain hues. Strongly colorblind people may only be able to distinguish about 20 different shades of colors, while those with healthy color vision can differentiate more than 100 hues. Men are more likely to experience colorblindness than women, but the gene for colorblindness is passed by the X chromosome. Colorblindness is often of the red-green variety, but blue-yellow colorblindness also is possible. General doctors or optometrists and opthalmologists use a simple test to determine colorblindness. The test asks patients to distinguish a letter or number against a colored background. There is no cure for colorblindness, though wearing colored contacts may sharpen a person's ability to distinguish color hues. From Metro Editorial Services.

Average retail gasoline prices in Kansas have risen 0.8 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.29 per gallon Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 1,329 gas outlets in Kansas. This compares with the national average that has fallen 1.3 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.43 per gallon, according to gasoline price Web site GasBuddy.com. Including the change in gas prices in Kansas during the past week, prices Sunday were 19.5 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 4.7 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 10.3 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 10.5 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago. "With Labor Day right around the corner, most Americans will be seeing the lowest prices of the summer," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "And the good news doesn't end there, the national average is at its lowest levels for this time of year since 2010, when prices averaged $2.65 per gallon nationally during Labor Day weekend. While most Americans won't have access to sub-$3 prices, a few hundred gas stations, mainly in the southern U.S., are offering gasoline under $3 per gallon today. And for those motorists in areas where gas prices tend to be high: just 1.5% of gas stations in the U.S. are selling for more than $4 per gallon, so even California is in on the party at the pump," DeHaan said.
