State Farm, Safe Kids & KDOT offer Bucks for Buckles
Mrs. Hill’s second grade class visits The Hermes to find out all about the newspaper. For their
class project this year, students will be publishing their very own newspaper!
In an effort to promote awareness of responsible seatbelt use, Safe Kids Kansas, KDOT, and State Farm are once again teaming up to reward drivers who buckle up with the Bucks for Buckles event. This year’s campaign taking place in 56 cities across Kansas - features local volunteers handing out dollar bills to drivers who have all vehicle occupants buckled up correctly. Educational materials will be handed out to those not buckled up. These events will be
conducted August 23 through September 9. Bucks for Buckles is one of three Safe Kids Kansas programs receiving support in 2018 from a $25,000 grant from State Farm. This is the sixteenth consecutive year State Farm has supported Safe Kids Kansas & Bucks for Buckles with grant funding. “State Farm is proud to be a long-time supporter of the safety efforts of Safe Kids Kansas and KDOT,” says State Farm spokesperson Kevin Gam-
ble. “Kansas is a true leader in collaboration among safety agencies, and Bucks for Buckles is one of many ways these agencies work to keep safety on the minds of drivers across the state.” According to the 2017 KDOT Seat Belt Survey, 82 percent of Kansans surveyed were wearing their seat belts. (The national average is 89 percent.) Kansas was the thirty-firstranked state in seat belt use in 2016. Submitted by Debbie Nordling State Farm.

The Kansas summer of 2018 was one of contrasts. It was a summer that saw the driest July in Topeka since 1940, while Pratt County experienced its wettest July on record. Now, as fall approaches, it’s time to prepare for whatever weather lies ahead. To remind Kansans to be prepared, Governor Jeff Colyer MD signed a proclamation Friday, August 24, designating September as Kansas Preparedness Month. Federal, state and local agencies will also be participating in the annual Kansas Preparedness Day at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson Monday, September 10. Kansas Preparedness Month is observed each September to remind Kansans to be prepared for tornadoes, floods, wildfires, blizzards and other disasters by assem-
bling an emergency kit and making emergency plans for homes and businesses. At Kansas Preparedness Day, numerous state and local agencies, and community emergency response organizations will be set up near the Administration Building at the south end of the Kansas State Fair across from the entrance gate to provide disaster preparedness and public safety information, and display emergency response equipment. The public may also register for prize drawings. Agencies and organizations participating in the

RHS senior is now published poet The following poem, written by Rolla High School senior Kaberlin Hull, will be featured in the upcoming edition of “American Library of Poetry”. She is the youngest daughter of Kristy and the late Lee Hull. Congratulations! Beginning of Heartbreaks Knowing the sound of heartbreak Makes my body shake Screaming knowing you know the truth Only wanting to disappear the proof Dark colors are filling the sky Because you only know how to say “Bye.” The thud when I fall to my knees The sound of the floor when I drag my feet The quiet blinking from my eyes There’s going to be so many goodbyes The fast, steady beat of your heart Was the true definition of art Knowing what we could have been You’re acting as if we were a sin Screaming at the top of my lungs Trying to bite my tongue Teardrops falling to the floor Knowing there will only be more and more While my body shakes This is only the start of heartbreaks - Kaberlin Hull, 2018

Her marriage to Vincent Medcalf brought them three children. During these years, she was a homemaker, elementary school cook, and employee at Rosel’s Department Store. Mr. Medcalf became ill in 1963. The November 8, 1960 election was a bit of a surprise to her; these local guys wanted her to run for County Clerk. They put up signs for her and campaigned on her behalf, without her knowing. She won by a write-in vote. The local guys were Judge
Morgan, Cud Combs, Fred Walkemeyer and Art Lahey. Her first day in office was January 1, 1961. Little did she know this was the beginning of a career and she held this job until retirement in December of 1988. She enjoyed her 27 years as a county official. In 1968, Sarah Etta married Donald Reynolds and he became a husband, father and grandfather the same day.

Larry Roger DeGarmo
Reader recalls Cuban Missile Crisis I am a devoted follower of three columns in the Hermes: History from the Hermes, Memories of Yesteryear, and Rolla History. Mr. Stout’s recent column on The Cuban Missile Crisis stirred some long buried memories. I was working in the Industrial Engineering Department at the Boeing Airplane Company in Wichita from March of 1957 until July of 1968. In the fall of 1962, the company was fulfilling a contract with the Strategic Air Command (SAC) to modify and up-
on TV, especially the Olympics and horse racing. Often, Deanna was that special friend who would lend an ear or offer words of wisdom. She is survived by her daughter, Amber Lynn Fisher of Phoenix, Az., and husband Burt of Sublette; a granddaughter, Alyssa Nikkole Fisher of Manhattan; a sister, Janet Anderson of Richfield; brothers, Kent Niles of Idaho Falls, Id., and Robert Niles of Arkansas City; and eight nephews whom she loved. She is preceded in death by her parents. Cremation was entrusted to Weeks Family Funeral Home and Crematory. A Memorial Service was Saturday, August 25, at the Satanta United Methodist Church with Pastor Gary Davison officiating. A Committal Service followed at the Richfield Cemetery. A reception following the Committal Service was at the Richfield United Methodist Church in Richfield. In lieu of flowers, the family has suggested memorial contributions to the Satanta UMC - VBS Program or the Satanta Area Arts Council in care of Weeks Family Funeral Home & Crematory, PO Box 1200, Sublette, Ks. 67877. Condolences may be left at WeeksFamily online FuneralHome.com.

the work on the B-52’s was completed and the fleet had been returned to their home bases. I suspect the city of Wichita was a little nervous since the Boeing work force was a major portion of its population and knowledge of the situation was widespread. I know for a fact the Burditt household watched the developments with great interest. Ken Burditt 19 Shadow Drive Whispering Pines N.C.

“You drink, You drive, You LOSE” campaign launched for Labor Day Law enforcement will be working overtime to target impaired drivers across Kansas and the country as part of the annual You drink. You drive. You LOSE. campaign through the Labor Day holiday weekend. More than 150 law enforcement agencies across Kansas are joining forces to stop drunk driving. Extra enforcement coupled with increased media targeting the perils of drunk driving starts today and runs through Labor Day. Law enforcement will be looking for and pulling over all motorists who show signs of impaired driving. Labor Day weekend is one of the most dangerous times of the year to be on the road. On average, three people are injured every day in alcoholrelated crashes in Kansas. Nationally in 2016, more than one-third of all fatalities over the Labor Day weekend involved a drunk driver with a BAC of .08 or greater. “Drunk driving is not a victimless crime and is 100
Kansas Notable Books announced State Librarian Eric Norris announced the thirteenth annual selection of Kansas Notable Books. The fifteen books feature quality titles with wide public appeal, either written by a Kansan or about a Kansas-related topic. “I am proud to present the 2018 Kansas Notable Book list. Choosing only 15 books is no easy task,” said Eric Norris, State Librarian. “The selection committee began with a pool of over 100 submitted titles and worked diligently to identify the year’s best works by authors and illustrators from Kansas, as well as those works that highlight our history and heritage.” Kansas Notable Books is a project of the Kansas Center for the Book, a program of the State Library. The Kansas Center for the Book is a state affiliate of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. Throughout the award year, the State Library promotes and encourages promotion of all the titles on this year's list at literary events, and among librarians and booksellers. The Stevens County Library has purchased all 15 of this year’s titles, and has many of the past years’ titles as well. Check out the displays at the library. “Bad Kansas: Stories” by Becky Mandelbaum (Rockport, Wa.), University of Georgia Press In this darkly humorous collection, Kansas becomes a state of mind as the characters struggle to define their relationship to home and what it means to stay or leave, to hold on or let go. “Cricket in the Thicket: Poems about Bugs” by Carol Murray (Overland Park), illustrations by Melissa Sweet (Portland, Me.). Henry Holt & Co. Playful poems highlight surprising facts about the world of insects - from familiar ants and exotic dragonflies to cringe-worthy ticks and magnificent fireflies in this picture book for children. “Dodge City: Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and the Wickedest Town in the American West” by Tom Clavin (Sag Harbor, N.Y.), St. Martin’s Press Cowpokes, desperadoes, and lawmen: it wasn’t always easy to tell which was which. This rollicking tale of Dodge City brims with colorful characters. From frontier settlement, to cattle drives, to a railroad town, the history of Dodge City is the story of how the West was won. “Feet of the Messenger:
Poems” by H.C. Palmer (Lenexa), BkMk Press Books Between the horrors of the Vietnam War and the pacific silences of the Kansas prairie, these poems honor both the beauty of the English language and the ancient powers of poetry to speak experience without diminishing it. “Fireflies in the Gathering Dark: Poems” by Maril Crabtree (Mission), Aldrich Press These poems traverse landscapes, inner and outer: physical landscapes and metaphysical ones; the landscape of relationships; the landscape of age, from childhood to maturity; and the questing landscape that leads to new understandings. “Headlights on the Prairie: Essays on Home” by Robert Rebein (Irvington In.), University Press of Kansas These essays bring a storyteller’s gifts to life’s dramas, large and small. Moments of singular grace and grit encapsulate the lives of feedlot cowboys, longhaul truckers, and farm kids dreaming of basketball glory. “Ike and McCarthy: Dwight Eisenhower's Secret Campaign Against Joseph McCarthy” by David A. Nichols (Winfield), Simon & Schuster This fast-paced account reveals President Eisenhower’s subtly clever role in the destruction of demagogue Joe McCarthy. Drawn from documents in the Eisenhower Presidential Library, Nichols presents a gripping story of a classic power struggle. “Kansas Baseball, 18581941” by Mark E. Eberle (Hays), University Press of Kansas The early history of baseball in Kansas is the story of towns and the ballparks they built. It was a time when baseball was adopted by early settlers, then taken up by soldiers sent west, and finally by teams formed to express the identity of growing and diverse communities. “Kansas Guidebook 2 for Explorers” by Marci Penner (Inman) and WenDee Rowe (Inman), Kansas Sampler Foundation The ultimate guidebook for all things to see and do in Kansas features 4,500 attractions, 843 eateries, and more than 1,600 color photos.

The two painstakingly scoured thousands of newspapers and records to discover and reveal the identity of one of the deadliest serial killers in America. “Midnight at the Electric” by Jodi Lynn Anderson (Asheville N.C.), HarperTeen While the stories of three women span multiple generations and thousands of miles, their lives are intertwined. Before leaving Kansas to go to Mars, Adri discovers Catherine’s journal of the Dust Bowl and Lenore’s letters about World War I. Each story weaves a unifying thread of hope. “The Shape of Ideas: An Illustrated Exploration of Creativity” by Grant Snider (Derby), Abrams ComicArts What do ideas look like? Where do they come from? These one- and two-page comics have been featured in the New Yorker, the New York Times, and the Kansas City Star. They are a colorful look into the creative process. “Stark Mad Abolitionists: Lawrence, Kansas, and the Battle over Slavery in the Civil War Era” by Robert K. Sutton (Bethesda MD), Skyhorse Publishing In 1854, Boston was in an uproar. Businessman Amos Adams Lawrence was inspired to put his efforts and considerable fortune toward keeping slavery out of Kansas. The town that came to bear Lawrence’s name became part of a bigger story of people willing to risk their lives and fortunes for freedom. “That is My Dream!” by Langston Hughes and Daniel Miyares (Lenexa), Schwartz & Wade Langston Hughes’s inspiring and timeless poem “Dream Variation” comes joyously to life in a gorgeously illustrated picture book. Follow one child on a walk through his small segregated town in the 1950s. Then watch his mind take flight as he images a brighter, more inclusive world. To The Stars “Through Difficulties” by Romalyn Tilghman (Long Beach CA), She Writes Press Inspired by the women who built fifty-nine Carnegie libraries in Kansas, the No Guilt Quilters overcome numerous obstacles to build the Cultural Center on the Plainsproving that New Hope is more than just the name of a town.
percent preventable,” said Chris Bortz, Kansas Department of Transportation Traffic Safety Program Manager. “Impaired drivers cause 20 to 25 percent of all traffic fatalities. We are driving to zero fatalities in Kansas, and the You drink. You drive. You LOSE. mobilization is one of the many ways we are working to reduce death and injury on Kansas roads.” In 2017, male drivers accounted for nearly 80 percent of all impaired driving fatalities and 70 percent of all impaired driving injuries in Kansas. Impaired drivers can face jail time, suspension of their driving privileges, fines and other costs of up to $10,000.

“But knowledge puffs up while love builds up. Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know. But whoever loves God is known by God.” —1 Corinthians 8:1-3 NIV
hilosophy, or intellectual inquiry and criticism, has its place in a well-ordered mind, and in civil society as well. But philosophical analysis is often inferior to experience and intuition in the spiritual realm. The French philosopher Blaise Pascal perhaps put it best: “The heart has its reasons, which reason does not know. We feel it in a thousand things. It is the heart which experiences God, and not the reason. This, then, is faith: God felt by the heart, not by the reason.” Pascal is famous for his work in mathematics and philosophy, but he had a brush with death at the age of 31 which is sometimes linked to his religious views. The experience occurred when the horses pulling his carriage went over the side of a bridge. Pascal was thrown from the carriage, and wasn’t badly hurt, but the carriage hung precariously over the edge of the bridge. A few weeks after this experience, Pascal had a religious vision, which he recorded on parchment and kept with him always (sewn into his clothes) and which was only discovered upon his death. The parchment said “Fire. God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, not of the philosophers and the scholars…. I will not forget thy word. Amen.” Pascal realized that intuition and direct experience are often superior to reason. The Irish philosopher and bishop, George Berkeley, said of philosophers “We have first raised a dust and then complain we cannot see.” Philosophize as you will but learn from your heart as well as from your mind.

Social Security
By Dustin Waters Social Security District Manager in Dodge City Most people who pay into Social Security work for an employer. Their employer deducts Social Security taxes from their paycheck, matches that contribution, sends taxes to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and reports wages to Social Security. However, self-employed people must report their earnings and pay their Social Security taxes directly to the IRS. These taxes will help determine your eligibility for benefits later. You’re self-employed if you operate a trade, business, or profession, either by yourself or as a partner. You report your earnings for Social Security purposes when you file your federal income tax return. If your net earnings are $400 or more in a year, you must report your earnings on Schedule SE, in addition to the other tax forms you must file. Net earnings for Social Security are your gross earn-

bluewings are gone by early October, although if the weather is mild, some may show up in hunters’ bags during the opening week of the Low Plains Early Duck Zone’s first segment (October 13-December 31, 2018). All hunters participating in teal season who are required to have a hunting license must also possess a Kansas HIP permit, $2.50, and State Waterfowl Permit, $10.00. All hunters 16 and older must have a Federal Waterfowl Stamp, $25, which can be purchased at your local U.S. Post Office and any Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism regional office. Veteran duck hunters love the early teal season because it’s their first chance to get back to the marsh after a long spring and summer of
no duck hunting. Teal are fast, challenging quarry for wingshooters, and teal hunting requires hunters to be particularly focused on species identification. It’s common to have other duck species such as shovelers and wood ducks migrating through in September, and those species are not legal game during the early teal season. It may take some practice and experience for a new hunter to be confident in identifying teal, but that’s all part of the teal challenge. And when conditions are right, teal numbers can build quickly on Kansas wetlands, providing a fantastic waterfowl hunting experience.

Teal are the smallest duck species that can be hunted. Many teal migrate before the traditional duck season opens, thus teal season is earlier than regular duck season.

Most veteran waterfowl hunters treasure the early teal season that will open in a couple weeks. However, those less familiar with duck hunting are sometimes confused by the early season and wonder why there is such a short season on teal. First, let’s get one thing straight: teal are ducks; they’re the smallest duck species we hunt, and they are legal game during the regular duck seasons. It’s just that in their rush to get to the southern wintering grounds, most teal are long gone by then. Because so many teal migrate through before traditional duck seasons open, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service allows a September teal season, based on the number of adult breeding teal observed on the northern nesting grounds. This year, teal season in the Low Plains Zone (anything east of U.S. Highway 283) is September 8-23, and in the High Plains Zone (anything west of U.S. Highway 283) is September 15-23. The daily bag limit is six teal. There are two species of teal common in the Central Flyway, blue-winged and green-winged. Bluewings usually migrate earlier than greenwings, and in fact, reports indicate that bluewings are already arriving at Kansas wetlands. Most

USDA announces details of assistance for farmers impacted by unjustified retaliation tariffs U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue announced details of actions the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will take to assist farmers in response to trade damage from unjustified retaliation by foreign nations Monday, August 27. President Donald J. Trump directed Secretary Perdue to craft a short-term relief strategy to protect agricultural producers while the Administration works on free, fair, and reciprocal trade deals to open more markets in the long run to help American farmers compete globally. As announced last month, USDA will authorize up to $12 billion in programs, consistent with World Trade Organization obligations. “Early on, the President instructed me, as Secretary of Agriculture, to make sure our farmers did not bear the brunt of unfair retaliatory tariffs. After careful analysis by our team at USDA, we have formulated our strategy to mitigate the trade damages sustained by our farmers. Our farmers work hard, and are the most productive in the world, and we aim to protect them,” said Secretary Perdue. These programs will assist agricultural producers to meet the costs of disrupted markets: • USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) will administer the Market Facilitation Program (MFP) to provide payments to corn, cotton, dairy, hog, sorghum, soybean, and wheat producers starting September 4, 2018. An announcement about further payments will be made in the coming months, if warranted. • USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) will administer a Food Purchase and Distribution Program to purchase up to $1.2 billion in commodities unfairly targeted by unjustified retaliation. USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) will distribute these commodities through nutrition assistance programs such as The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and child nutrition programs. • Through the Foreign Agricultural Service’s (FAS) Agricultural Trade Promotion Program (ATP), $200 million will be made available to de-

velop foreign markets for U.S. agricultural products. The program will help U.S. agricultural exporters identify and access new markets and help mitigate the adverse effects of other countries’ restrictions. “President Trump has been standing up to China and other nations, sending the clear message that the United States will no longer tolerate their unfair trade practices, which include non-tariff trade barriers and the theft of intellectual property. In short, the President has taken action to benefit all sectors of the American economy – including agriculture – in the long run,” said Secretary Perdue. “It’s important to note all of this could go away tomorrow, if China and the other nations simply correct their behavior. But in the meantime, the programs we are announcing today buys time for the President to strike long-lasting trade deals to benefit our entire economy.” To watch a video message from Secretary Perdue regarding Monday’s announcement, visit https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=KT66xoIYgeI&fea ture=youtu.be.

Hunters can now get the 2018 Kansas Hunting Atlas by ordering calling on the phone or going online to ksoutdoors.com.
Get your 2018 Hunting Regulations Summary Hunting Atlas Two Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) publications hunters anxiously wait for each summer are now available: The 2018 Kansas Hunting and Furharvesting Regulations Summary, and the 2018 Kansas Hunting Atlas. Both publications are available online at www.ksoutdoors.com and are being shipped to hundreds of license vendors and KDWPT offices around the state beginning this week. Hunters can also request mailed copies by calling 620672-5911. New this year, the hunting atlas includes both fall and spring Walk-in Hunting Access areas (in previous years, these were two separate publications), so hunters are encouraged to hold on to their atlas through the 2019 spring turkey season. The hunting summary includes regulations such as methods of take, season dates, bag and possession limits, as well as a list of public wildlife areas. One section features color photographs and range maps for popular game species. And there is also contact information for game wardens listed by the counties they patrol.
The hunting atlas includes maps showing all WIHA areas – private land leased by KDWPT and opened to public hunting – and state and federal public wildlife areas. More than one million acres of WIHA lands are mapped in the atlas, so opportunities abound. And soon, Garmin GPS and Google Earth files will be available for download, making finding a place to hunt even easier. All WIHA properties are marked with signs showing the lease dates, which start either September 1, November 1, or April 1, and end either January 31, March 31, or May 31. All Kansas hunting rules and regulations still apply on these properties, and accessing a WIHA area prior to or after the lease dates shown is prohibited. To download electronic versions of either the 2018 Kansas Hunting and Furharvesting Regulations Summary or the 2018 Kansas Hunting Atlas, visit ksout doors.com. Whether you decide to keep them on your phone, laptop, or hardcopies in the truck, no hunter Kansas should be without them.
Rural Remedies
by Stevens County Extension Agent Ron Honig - Agriculture and Natural Resources Timing the Final Irrigation of the Season When I was scouting, my producers were always happy to see that last irrigation recommendation and read “ final ” scratched in the margin next to the report number. Aside from the obvious flow of money out of the pivot, producers could finally stop checking motors and fighting with uncooperative sprinklers for a while. Determining when the crop has enough moisture to finish out can be an art form at times and many times we error on the side of caution and make one more round. Finishing out in a season where the rains are coming regularly definitely takes some of the pressure off, but also creates a challenge if you try to hold off irrigation to anticipate the rains. K-State’s Northwest Kansas agronomists Lucas Haag and Freddie Lamm provide some of the following information for determining the timing of the final irrigation for a few of our major crops. Corn Corn at beginning dent in general has 24 days to maturity and an average water demand of about five inches to
KSU Extension Corn Plot Tour is September 4 The Stevens County Extension corn plot tour will be at 6:00 p.m., September 4 on the Marcus Howe farm six miles east of Moscow. The corn test plot contains 21 hybrids and is located in the NE quarter of 35-31-35 at the intersection of Roads Y and 27. Supper will be served at the field. Seed company representatives will be available to discuss their corn hybrids in detail.
finish out the season. Corn at full dent has approximately 13 days to maturity and will use another two and a half inches of water to finish out. Knowing the approximate moisture level in the soil and the water holding capacity of the soil type helps predict the crop’s final need. A siltloam soil at 80 percent moisture will allow you to make a two inch ribbon between your thumb and fingers. A sandy soil at 80 percent moisture will form a ball in your hand and maintain it for a couple gentle bounces before breaking apart. The moisture level should be checked down to two to three feet in depth where the majority of the roots are available to draw water. The following are general rules I learned and used when I was scouting corn: A silt-loam soil with about 80 percent moisture will provide enough water for the corn to be shut off at ¼ milk line. Corn growing in a sandy soil with 80 percent moisture can generally be
shut off when the kernels have reached ½ maturity line. Grain Sorghum When grain sorghum reaches soft dough, it has approximately 23 days to maturity and will require about five more inches of water under full population conditions. Grain sorghum at hard dough stage has about 12 days to maturity and would use two more inches of water. Soybeans K-State’s research shows a full population of irrigated soybeans at beginning seed still have approximately 29 days left to maturity and will require six and a half inches of water. At full seed, the beans will have about 17 days left to maturity and will need three and a half inches of water from either irrigation or rain to finish out. Full seed is defined as the pods containing a green seed that fills the pod cavity in one of the four uppermost nodes on the main stem. Once pods begin to change color, the plant will mature quickly and leaves will start to drop. Unless the soil profile is very dry, irrigation will not be of much use at this late stage.

class sponsor will be Kim Clark. The south bus route will be paid at $20 per day. Mr. Gardell Schnable gave the junior high and high school principal’s report. Currently junior high has 29 students and high school has 41 but at the time of the meeting, enrollment had not taken place yet. Athletic numbers are as follows: junior high volleyball - 11, junior high football - eight, high school volleyball - seven and high school football - 12-13. There could be a few more in some of the sports. There is an opening for a freshman class sponsor but Mr. Schnable has some ideas about how to fill that position. In old business, James Langley asked if Roni Krey and Jamie Mason could decorate the school lockers for boosting students’ spirits. Phoebe Brummett suggested Mr. Schnable handle the particulars. Mrs. Kim Mauk presented numbers for elementary. Mrs. Kris Hall entered the meeting to give an overview of the school assessment from last year. The
handbooks were presented and approved with some minor modifications. The board voted to ratify the 2018-2019 Negotiated Agreement. Two positions are open on the Rolla Recreation Board, one for Richfield and one for Dermot. Candice Claassen submitted a letter of intent for the Richfield position and Phoebe Brummett submitted a letter of intent for the Dermot position. Both of these interested parties were appointed to the Rolla Recreation Board. Candice will serve out Jamie Milburn’s unexpired term and Phoebe Brummett will serve a four year term. The board went on a walk-about through the school to view the completion and progress of several summer projects. Upon arriving back in the Hays Educational Center meeting room, the minutes from HPEC and SWPRSC were reviewed. Mrs. Mauk reminded the members of upcoming events and the meeting was adjourned by 10:00 p.m.

Kaberlin Hull has been writing poetry in her spare time since she was a sophomore and for the second time has had a poem selected for publication in the “American Library of Poetry”. Kaberlin’s poem, entitled “Beginning of Heartbreaks,” is the newest publication for her. She writes to help herself work through feelings and sometimes, she shares those thoughts with others. She receives a free book from the company with her poem and other poem that were selected. She does not plan to make writing her career. Kaberlin is a senior at Rolla this year. She is the youngest daughter of Kristy and the late Lee Hull.
Milburns celebrate anniversary Your fifty-third wedding anniversary should certainly be a celebration, but when you are hospital-bound, the celebration can take a back seat to more pressing matters. John and Linda Milburn celebrated their fifty-third wedding anniversary in the comfort of the BSA Hospital in Amarillo, Tx. John underwent back surgery August 9 and some complications have pre-
vented the couple from being in their home for their anniversary August 13. Their daughter Andrea decided they still needed to celebrate and she brought in a lovely cake for the occasion. John continues to recuperate in Amarillo and cards can be sent to him at Vibra Rehabilitation Hospital, 7200 W Ninth Ave, Room 2905, Amarillo, Tx. 79106.

The team and their coaches, Miss Daniels and Mrs. Hart were ready for some action, even though the distance to travel was far. The Lady Pirates came home with a 1-3 record, winning one match.
There is a lot of talent on this year’s team and everyone is looking forward to a great year. Former coach Zeta Greene traveled from Nebraska to watch and former second grade teacher, Jolene Bannister, was one of the officials. It was a great day to be a Pirate!

A Dust Storm By Margaret Brown James This is the story of Frank and Margaret Brown and son, Richard - their experience in a dust storm. It was the seventeenth of March 1923, a beautiful Saturday afternoon. In those days, farmers always went to town on Saturday. As was our custom,
much as we could. I don’t know how long we sat there, but as soon as the blackness left and it got light enough that we could see the corner, we drove on to the Rich Brubaker home and went into the basement. The Brubakers weren’t home, but we found my Uncle W.A. Lynch and family there. We stayed there a while; then when it seemed a little lighter, we decided to try to get home. We were afraid the windmill might blow down. But when we got there, my brother Ralph and his wife were there, and they had shut the windmill off. The temperature had dropped seventy degrees!

Later in the afternoon, we noticed a terrible looking cloud coming from the northwest. The cloud was rolling, and it was black with red and yellow mixed in. We had never seen anything like it. We decided we had better got out of town so we started for home going east.
The storm hit us about a halfmile east of the city limits. The wind was awfully strong and it was so black we had to stop. We had a new Buick touring car.

DARD TRAFFIC ORDINANCE.
Building the Rolla Community Credit Union I graduated from RHS in May 1963 and worked for Marvin Weese that summer. Our construction project was the Rolla Community Credit Union on Main Street in downtown Rolla. I hand-dug the ditches for the building’s foundation and frequently commented to passersby, “I’ve just got my high school diploma, but I’m still digging ditches.” “Yeah, but you’ll be in KU soon and that’ll change everything.” “Yeah, I ’pose so.” And there I stayed, erecting the credit union for the remainder of the summer, all the while getting ready to leave for KU in September. One final requirement was to go to KU for two days of orientation and my student physical. I took off a few days to whiz up to KU. I don’t remember much of what happened then, but a few things do stick out. Quite by coincidence, one of my fellow school mates from Rolla High School was attending summer music camp at KU while I was there for my two-day orientation, but he hadn’t told me beforehand he was going. He was Denny Johns, a boy Denny Johns
Rolla History from David Stout from Richfield, one year behind me at Rolla High, a boy who was now a senior at Rolla High School. Compounding the coincidence of our being in Lawrence at the same time, as I was driving up a hill I spotted him walking along the street. I pulled over, picked him up, and gave him a ride to his dorm. He explained his reason for being on the campus, and also explained one of the summer music camp rules: “Don’t mingle with or allow any of the college students to pick you up because they may try to take advantage of you.” Since Denny and I had been going to high school together for the past three years, we thought this was rather amusing. I pointed out to him I wasn’t a university student quite yet, but continued, playfully asking him, “Are you worried I might take advantage of you?” His only response was to chuckle, which I’ve always wondered the meaning of. After dropping Denny off at his dorm, I got back to my own “summer camp activities,” one of which was completion of my health exam at Watkins Hospital. For our final night of orientation, we dined in one of the more elegant dining rooms at the top of the Student Union. As dinner drew to a close, they told us we definitely would need to
learn the words of our school song, and passed out little note cards with the words on them. When the music started playing, we stood to sing the school song at a very slow-moving yet emotionally stirring tempo... “Far above the golden valley Glorious to view, Stands our noble Alma Mater, Towering toward the blue. Lift the chorus ever onward Crimson and the blue Hail to thee, our Alma Mater Hail to old KU.” The dining room drapes had been closed during dinner, but now they were slowly and very dramatically pulled open to reveal an incredibly magnificent sunset in the west. Somewhat as the song said, “far across the golden campus valley, glorious to view,” was the campus campanile standing there in the middle of the valley. What a perfect ending to my orientation! And what a perfect beginning for my orientation! The next morning, I checked out of the JRP dorm and headed back to Rolla, back to the construction site where I continued to work for the rest of the summer without interruption. Then, September 1, I heard about some revival meetings at my local Methodist church during the final week of my life as a full-time citizen in Rolla…

erage has dropped 2.4 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 46.9 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. "Gas prices nationally saw little change in the last week as oil prices saw a miniresurgence back to $69 per barrel, stifling the broad relief we saw at pumps the week prior," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "With Labor Day dead ahead, we may see a small rise in the national average this week, depending on oil's move, but largely, this seems like the last week we'll see elevated prices as demand is set to drop with the conclusion of Labor Day weekend. The Atlantic remains quiet, so there's little chance of a major disruption for the time being, with the overall consensus that we'll soon see prices falling once again across most of the country."

Even though online sales are booming, this data reinforces the fact that holiday shoppers still rely on brickand-mortar stores. Retailers who understand how to seamlessly offer both online resources as well as a strong physical retail presence may enjoy an especially profitable holiday season.

Pantry Pests, Are They in Your Kitchen? Insects infesting stored foods such as flour, cereal and other dry food products, is one of the most common household insect problems. The many different kinds of insects that infest dry foods are often called “pantry pests”. Most dry food products can be infested by insects. You can find pantry pests when they leave infested foods to crawl or fly around the house. They often gather in pots, pans or dishes, or on window sills. Pantry pests are most likely to infest products that have been opened, but they also can get into unopened paper, thin cardboard, and plastic, foil or cellophane-wrapped packages. They may chew their way into packages or crawl in through folds and seams. Insects inside an infested package multiply and can spread to other stored foods, not only in the same area, but in other rooms in a home. Throwing away contaminated food and thoroughly cleaning cupboards and surfaces where the food was stored are the best ways to get rid of these insects. Where do they come from? A stored food product can become infested any time from production until it arrives in your home. But stored food is most likely to become infested in a grocery store or in homes. Most pantry pests also infest
stored grain and may be found outdoors. Food products that are left in storage for a long time are prone to infestation. But foods of any age can become infested. How to Keep Insects From Getting Into Your Food * Buy dry foods in quantities small enough to be used up in a short period of time (two to four months). * Use oldest products before newer ones, and opened packages before unopened ones. * Inspect packages or bulk products before buying. Packages should be sealed and unbroken. * Check the freshness packaging date. * Look for evidence of insects, including holes in the packaging or wrapping. * Store insect-free foods in tightly closed glass, metal or heavy plastic containers. You can also store foods in the refrigerator or freezer. * Keep food storage areas clean. Clean up crumbs or spilled food immediately. * Throw away old, unused products. * Thoroughly clean cracks and corners of cupboards with a vacuum cleaner. * Check and clean areas where pet food and birdseed are stored. Washing areas with detergents, ammonia, or bleach will not prevent insect infes-
tation. There is no evidence that home remedies, such as placing bay leaves or sticks of spearmint gum in a cupboard, will prevent or get rid of stored food insect pests. Signs You May Have a Problem * Small beetles in dry food products, on counters, in cupboards, or around windows * Indianmeal moths flying around kitchens and other rooms * Caterpillars on walls and ceilings in rooms next to infestations, or caterpillars and silk webbing inside infested food packages Not all small beetles or moths found indoors are pantry pests. If there is not a direct association with food, be sure the insects are identified correctly by an expert to determine whether they are a stored food product insect. When you know a stored product problem is present, be sure to examine all susceptible food, as there could be more than one infested source. When inspecting, look at the top surface of products with a flashlight or pour the package contents onto a cookie sheet. How to Get Rid of Pantry Pests When you find food that is infested, throw it away. Use a vacuum cleaner to thoroughly clean cabinets and shelves, especially in cracks and corners. This will pick up crawling insects and spilled or infested food material. Empty the vacuum
cleaner or discard the vacuum cleaner bag after use to prevent re-infestation. To prevent re-infestation, store foods in sealable glass, metal, or heavy plastic containers, or in the freezer or refrigerator until you are sure the infestation is gone. It is not unusual to see an Indianmeal moth flying for up to three weeks after the infested food has been thrown out. However, if you continue to see Indianmeal moths after three weeks, that means there is an infested food source that you haven't found yet. If you have older food products and you are not sure if they are infested, you can put them in the freezer at 0 degrees F for at least four days, or in shallow cookie sheets or pans in an oven at 130 degrees F for at least 30 minutes. These temperatures will kill any eggs or insects. Kansas State University, County Extension Councils, Extension Districts, and U.S. Department of Agriculture Cooperating.
