electronic music. Exit West began in the spring of 2003 as the studio project of Kevin Jenkins, a vocalist, keyboardist and guitarist residing in Seattle, Wa. Exit West's first album, “Nocturne”, was released in February 2004. In the spring of 2004, a group was formed to take the music to the stage. Jenkins recruited his perpetual band mate Timothy Harper, along with Nocturne contributors Shane Smith and Dave Billin for the task. Genevieve Allen was born in the Gulf Coast region of Texas. Music has always been a huge part of her life. Her musical world changed forever when her best friend turned on Houston's 93Q and she heard her first country song. Genevieve quickly became obsessed with the music written about her world of rodeo and horses. She bought a guitar and started learning the music of her heroes. Genevieve then began writing her own music. She co-produced her first album, "Whiskey Kisses," with Worley McKinney, releasing it in early 2014.

She signed with LandStar in 2015. Genevieve is now an independent artist and just recorded her new album. Saturday is also the High Plains Fall Fling Vendor and Craft Show at the Eagle RV Park - right across the road from Dirtona Raceway. Vendors will sell their wares all day Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The second annual IBCA-sanctioned High Plains BBQ Bash will also be happening and cooking will be going on all day.

Pride, history drive rural community Folks who inhabit tiny towns like Alton, population 98, remain viable because of civic pride and a willingness to give back to their community. For this little village, whose greatest claim to fame remains that of being the birthplace of Russell Stover, civic responsibility is just that – an old, established concept that compels people to work, play and live together in harmony. Young people study so they can use this knowledge to better their community, school teachers volunteer outside the classroom and farm families donate their time and energy. These contributions help keep their communities moving steadily along like the parade entries in the recent “Summer Jubilee” in this north-central Kansas town. Alton hosted its thirty-fourth celebration August 25. The population increased ten times as approximately 1,000 people participated in the day and a half long event. For many it was a homecoming. For others it was a chance to enjoy a good time. “Our annual celebration affords us the opportunity to bring people of this community and the surrounding towns together,” says Deanna Roach, a lifetime native who farms with her husband, Stanley, south of Alton. “We’re proud of our heritage and we want people to know about it and continue to be a part of it.” “Meet at the Crossroads” was the theme of this year’s celebration. Many people living in Alton today trace their families back to Bull City. Alton was originally called Bull City when two men, General Bull and Mr. Earl decided the current town site was a good place to build a community. Seems they couldn’t decide whether to call it Bull City or Earlsville. They flipped a coin. Bull won. A few years later a lady from Alton, Il. came through and decided the name, “Bull City” was vulgar. Just so happens there was a petition circulating at the time to bring a highway through Bull City. This female bulldozer decided Alton would be a perfect name for the community. She midnight requisitioned the petition, clipped off the highway supporters’ names, pasted them on the petition she’d put

together to rename Bull City and sent them in. The rest is history – Bull City disappeared, and Alton remains. While many of the families still have ties to Bull City, some also till the same soil the original settlers broke out of the prairie. People who live here today, including Roach and her friends and neighbors, can identify with their ancestors’ early struggles and appreciate how they persevered with pride through both good times and bad to make their rural community a better place to live. Alton citizens rely on that same sense of community spirit to carry on where their ancestors left off. The weekend event is filled with friends, fellowship and fun. Saturday morning began with a car show including a 1950, low-slung, creamcolored Mercury, an early Model T and a cherry ’56 Chevy Bel Air. One of the biggest events of the day was the parade at 10:30 a.m. It lasted more than an hour. Eighty entries arrived to showboat before the crowd lining Alton’s Main Street. Talk about a collection: antique farm tractors, a horse drawn buggy, the Bull City Rough Riders, fire engines, crop sprayers, the Osborne Junior and Senior High School Band and the Bull City Opry Company something for everyone. The Massey family from Phillipsburg was named “Best Novelty” entry featuring a singlehorse, two-seated buggy with two outriders on horseback by the judges – Homer Smuck, who lived and served as pastor at Mt. Ayr Friends Church south of Alton, Juno Ogle, Hays Daily News reporter and yours truly. While many of the tractors had been restored to their one-time glory, some were original clanking relics. Each engine sounded unique sporting its own hum, roar, whine or pop. Everyone driving in the parade waved at the crowd. Alton is a friendly town made up of hardworking, honest people. Many of the inhabitants and those from neighboring communities are farm and ranch families. Like their counterparts across the state, these livestock and grain producers are proud of their occupations and their communities. “There were a lot of unsung heroes

working behind the scenes to make our annual event a success,” Roach says. “There is a real sense of caring for others here. If our children are running around, we know about it. We focus on nurturing our young people. We want them to interact with the older folks and develop an understanding of their past.” That said, the Alton Jubilee isn’t all serious stuff either. Old timers retold tales, people became reacquainted and conversations lasted well into the evening. Back on Main Street, Osborne County Farm Bureau members passed out free watermelon. The line for barbecued brats and burgers stretched for nearly a block. And dessert, well let’s just say the ladies of Alton know how to bake a pie and top it with homemade ice cream. The Alton Jubilee is an event people in this part of Kansas look forward to and will for years to come. Talk about a small world, while visiting with Wayne Brent, Alton native, I discovered a family thread linking the two of us together. Seems Brent was quite a basketball player in his day – the mid ‘50s. After we met and shook hands, he asked me if I had any relatives in Selden (small town in northwestern Kansas). I told him I did and that my dad’s older brother, Uncle Herman and all his clan, hailed from this small Sheridan County town. “You know, I played against a Schlageck in ’57 when Alton played Selden,” Brent told me. “He was a big guy and he leaned on me the whole game. He was quite a ball player too.” He also told me Alton won that post-season game and I told Brent his opponent was my older cousin, Junior, named after my Uncle Herman. If you travel through Kansas and take the time to visit with people, you often find that you know someone, that someone you meet also knows. It’s great to know you hail from a small town in Kansas, and that’s what the Alton Jubilee is all about. John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas. Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas, his writing reflects a lifetime of experience, knowledge and passion.

The Hugoton Hermes | Thursday, September 6, 2018 |

Past and present employers honor Bill Cantrell Hugoton native Bill Cantrell began his working career at the young age of ten years in 1957 when he and his brother began sweeping sidewalks and washing windows for the downtown Hugoton businesses. This money making venture soon led Bill to also start his own shoe shine business. These business ventures continued through his high school days. In 1965, Bill married Vinetta Pierce and settled down in Hugoton. This led Bill to find a career to provide for his family, adding four children between 1966 and 1971. Taking a job with Clear Creek in Hugoton, Bill hauled crude oil. He then purchased his own big rig in 1969 and leased on with Wade Beesley and sons. While leased to Beesley, Bill had an exceptional driving record with no violations or accidents. Trucking has up and down seasons, as do all businesses. It was during one of these seasons that Bill took a job with Panhandle Eastern, but continued his driving career part-time.

In 1986, Bill took a driving job with Consolidated Freightways working out of Liberal and Houston, Tx. eventually moving to Houston. Houston, being a long way from their family of children and now grandchildren, Bill and Vinetta chose to return to Hugoton in 1995. Bill took a job driving for Terry and Sheri Mickler, who then owned Southwest Express. Six months later, he was offered and took a position in the office dispatching over 100 loads of grain daily to all four Cactus Feeders, Inc. locations in the Texas Panhandle. In 1999, Martin Trucking, Inc. purchased Southwest Express. Bill continued his work with the Martins until his retirement Friday, August 31, 2018. During his 50-plus years of trucking, Bill pulled tanks, bottles, grain trailers, doubles and triples, hauling hazardous materials, anhydrous, grain, tallow, fertilizer solution, crude oil, hay, and one load of cattle. A lunch in honor of Bill’s retirement was served at the office. Special guests were his family, Don, Angela,

Erynn and JC Cantrell and Sheryn Cantrell Garverick of Hugoton; also Walter and Estella Beesley of Hugoton and Terry and Sheri Mickler of Jacksonville, Tx. Martin Trucking, along with owners Ron, Doug, Jim and Will Martin, extend their appreciation to Bill for his dedication and a job well done. They wish him a great retirement.

Comfort Zone offers grieving families a lakeside retreat St. Catherine Hospice is sponsoring the twentieth annual “Comfort Zone” Family Retreat at Camp Lakeside in Scott City. This retreat is offered to help families who are grieving the death of a significant person in their lives. Because grief is different for each person, and each person’s coping skills are different, conflict can arise within families during the grieving process. A child’s understanding of death is different from that of a teenager and a teenager understands differently than an adult. Alan D. Wolfelt, Ph.D., a nationally known grief counselor, has written, “Any child old enough to love is old enough to grieve.” When a significant person in a child’s life dies, he or she is often a “neglected mourner”. Frequently it is thought children are too young to understand death. In reality, children do experience grief. However, a child’s understanding of death is different from that of adults. Feelings of separation and anxiety are often great. Wolfelt also says, “Each year thousands of teenagers experience the death of

someone they love. When a parent, sibling, friend or relative dies, teens feel the overwhelming loss of someone who helped shape their fragile self-identities. And these feelings about death become a part of their lives forever. Sad to say, many adults who lack understanding of their experience discourage teens from sharing their grief. Bereaved teens give out all kinds of signs that they are struggling with complex feelings, yet are often pressured to act as if they are doing better than they really are.” Each person’s grief is unique because each person’s relationship with the person who has died was different. Grief experiences are influenced by the circumstances surrounding the death, other losses experienced, emotional support systems and cultural/ religious backgrounds. The family retreat weekend is designed to help families recognize these differences and encourage them to be open and supportive. The Retreat features sessions for adults, teens and children, giving the participants tools to help them and their family

as they walk their grief journey. The goal of the weekend retreat is to educate the participants about the grieving process and provide suggestions for coping skills. Comfort Zone activities are based on helping individuals process their grief, creating conditions to allow the bereaved to mourn through meaningful ceremonies and rituals coupled with celebrations and fun in a beautiful nature setting. The “Comfort Zone” Family Retreat weekend is October 19-21, 2018 at Camp Lakeside located north of Scott City, adjacent to Scott Lake State Park. There is a small cost per family member for the weekend which includes six meals and two nights lodging. Financial aid is available to assist families who would not otherwise be able to attend. The number of participants is limited so call for your registration packet today! For more information or for a registration application, please call Gina Cash, Comfort Zone Director, at St. Catherine Hospice 620-272-2519 or 1-800-281-4077. Submitted by St Catherine Hospital.

cents per gallon versus last week to $2.82 per gallon, according to GasBuddy. Average gasoline prices September 4 in Kansas have ranged widely over the last five years: $2.46 per gallon in 2017, $2.14 per gallon in 2016, $2.33 per gallon in 2015, $3.28 per gallon in 2014 and $3.59 per gallon in 2013. Including the change locally during the past week, prices Sunday were 17.8 cents per gallon higher than a year ago and are 1.7 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has dropped 4.4 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 18.3 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. "We've closed the door on the most expensive summer at the pump since 2014, finishing the period from Memorial Day to Labor Day with an average of $2.87 per gallon, a full 55 cents higher than last summer, but still 71 cents per gallon cheaper

than 2014. Much of the blame for the summer's higher gas prices can be blamed on OPEC's longterm decision to cut oil production to better balance supply and demand, pushing prices higher," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "Now that summer is over, gas prices are likely to seasonally decline by the end of the year, but with Tropical Storm Gordon likely to impact the sensitive Gulf Coast region, gas prices may move higher before we see the seasonal down trend emerge. We're carefully watching the storm for pos-

sible disruptions to refineries and gas stations, and will continue to do so until hurricane season ends. Motorists in affected regions can download the GasBuddy app as we'll continue to work around the clock updating motorists, helping them escape major events like this one."

‘Pay by gift card’ is red flag for scams Gift cards can be useful tools to allow a gift-receiver to choose his or her own gift. In recent years, these cards have become readily available, with racks of cards appearing in grocery stores, pharmacies and even gas stations. Unfortunately, we’ve also seen scammers try to take advantage of the convenience of buying a gift card to make it the currency of choice when ripping people off. We often receive reports in our office of a scam artist – usually by telephone – asking people to go to a store, purchase a gift card, and then read the numbers on the card to them. The stories scam artists tell for the reason they need the money may vary, but it’s usually one of the classics. A grandchild in trouble, the IRS saying you owe back taxes or a tech support person wanting to help you fix your computer are some of the most frequently

used stories. No matter what the story is, the common thread will be that the scammer asks for payment by gift card. The scam artist could ask for any form of gift card, but the most common ones are for iTunes or Amazon because the scam artist can most easily resell these cards for cash. States and the federal g ov e r n m e n t have recently cracked down on the wire transfer service companies, which for years were the scam artists’ preferred method for getting the money to their untraceable, offshore bank accounts. At the demand of the federal government and state attorneys general, the wire companies have instituted additional safeguards to help protect consumers against wiring money to scam artists. So, now the scammers are turning to another

method of untraceable funds through the gift card market. Once you’ve read those numbers off to the scam artist on the other end, the bad guy is immediately reselling that gift card for cash on the black market. The money is gone, probably overseas, and there’s little chance of being able to get it back. While our best advice remains not to answer your phone when it’s someone you don’t know – and always be skeptical of the person’s story on the other end of the line – if they ask for you to send money by purchasing a gift card, you should know immediately that it’s a scam. Remember, gift cards are meant for giving as gifts, not as a form of currency. If you become the victim of a gift card scam, or any other scam or rip-off, you can file a complaint with our Consumer Protection Division online at www.InYour CornerKansas.org, or by calling 800-432-2310.

We hope to see you at Pioneer Manor.

Move In

“The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly…. A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.” - Proverbs 15:14, 18 NIV

he self-described researcher and storyteller Brené Brown, who does qualitative research on issues relevant to human relations, advises that “People are hard to hate close up. Move in!” In the current divisive political climate, she notes that we have sorted ourselves into ideological bunkers. That is, we live and interact mostly with people who agree with us politically. The polarized political environment means that most of us know someone whose vote we find incomprehensible. Her proposed solution is that we “move in” and ask questions, instead of keeping our distance and refusing to engage these people who we disagree with on social or political issues. Ask them why they feel the way they do. You may discover that their reasons for believing (and voting) the way that they do are not based on some ignoble or vicious impulse, but on their genuinely held principles. In any case, Brown asks us to consider whether we are willing to sever a relationship because of how someone voted. If the answer is no - and it probably should be - then perhaps you need to move in and start a conversation with that person. Christopher Simon

Chapter 1: Revival of the fittest Rolla History from David Stout It’s going to take several articles to tell this lengthy story, so please consider this “Chapter 1 of 5”. For those who knew my family, you know going to church wasn’t very central to our lives. We pretty much restricted our religious lives to Sunday school and Vacation Bible School, not even MYF. We attended church services only once in a blue moon, maybe two or three times a year. As for Dad, the only way anyone could get him into church was for someone to be wed or dead.

During one of those rare occasions when I attended church during my high school years, I saw something I’d never seen in church before. The invitation was given to “come on down”. That is to say, to come to the front of the church and to accept Christ as your personal savior. Since I’d never witnessed this in my church before, I didn’t know what this was about. Given my very limited involvement in the church, as far as I knew, Methodists didn’t do this sort of “come to Jesus” thing. Sunday, September 1, 1963, the last Sunday of the year before college and university students were to leave for our respective schools, there was a subtle message that we should attend church, so in keeping with my once or twice a year pattern, I decided to attend church, just to show my respect. For the most part, this was no different than any other time I attended church. There was no invitation to come forward. However, the one thing which was different was Reverend Carl Carrier’s announcement from the pulpit in the Rolla Methodist Church would be hosting a week-long revival beginning that very night. Instead of inviting us to come forward, he invited us to come back... That very night. “Oh what the hell,” I thought. “I just as well go. One night, just to show my support. One night out’a my life ain’t gonna’ change nuthin’.” And I went. I was quite impressed the first night. The evangelist and his wife were both young and attractive, but unlike any pastors I’d known before, they were trained musicians. He sang while she played the piano, she occasionally singing the

melody while he provided the harmony. Together they performed some of the most beautiful and moving religious music I’ve ever heard – then or since. For example, one piece of music I’d not heard before was “The Holy City”. The evangelist’s tenor voice hit high notes I didn’t know were possible for a man to hit. I sat in the pew and shivered. As for the message they gave, it was one of love, surprisingly – not fire, brimstone or eternal damnation usually associated with “revivals”. I was touched. One of the messages of the first service was “each one bring one”. In other words, for everyone who came, they were to not only return the next night, but also to invite someone else to come. Since I was quite touched by the service, I decided the next morning to abide by their loving message and to invite my boss Marvin Weese to the second night’s services. Marvin was a private contractor and together we were building the Rolla Community Credit Union in downtown Rolla on Main Street. Marvin was a stereotypical guy in construction with a big belly hanging over his belt. I wasn’t sure if he’d come, but come he did – and he brought his wife. Not only had I brought one, I had brought two! Did this mean I was twice as good as everyone else? Well, no, it didn’t, but it did stimulate some interesting conversation between Marvin Weese and me the following day as we continued to build the new Rolla Community Credit Union in semi-beautiful downtown Rolla. I’ll write a bit about our conversation in next couple of weeks’ columns. (to be continued next week)

Social Security

According to a survey of more than 2,000 adults in the United States conducted in September 2017 by the International Council of Shopping Centers, holiday shoppers still prefer to shop at physical retailers for their gifting needs. The survey found that nearly all shoppers (96 percent) planned to make a purchase from a retailer who has both a physical and online presence. Furthermore, 91 percent of holiday shoppers said they were planning to buy some of the items they researched online at physical locations. Even though online sales

By Dustin Waters Social Security District Manager in Dodge City BEAT PROCRASTINATION BY CHANGING YOUR DIRECT DEPOSIT EARLY September 6 is National Fight Procrastination Day. With our busy lives, it is easy to fall into the cycle of constantly postponing some tasks because of other things we need to address right now. This may be true for you when it comes to changing your payment method for Social Security benefits. Unfortunately, procrastinating on reporting changes can lead to delayed payments, resulting in undue hardship with bills and living expenses. Ultimately, it’s less hassle - and less stressful - if you report a direct deposit change as soon as it occurs. How can you change your direct deposit information with Social Security? The most convenient way is by creating a my Social Security account online at social security.gov/myaccount. Once you create your account, you can update your bank information without leaving the comfort of your home. Another way to change your direct deposit is by calling Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800325-0778) to make the change over the phone. If you prefer to speak to someone in-person, you can visit your local Social Security office with the necessary information. What exactly will Social Security need to make the direct deposit change? Because we are committed to protecting your personal information, we need some form of identification to ver-

ify who you are. If you are online, we verified your identity when you initially created your my Social Security account. All you need to do is log in at www.social security.gov/signin with your secure username and password to gain instant access to your information. If you call Social Security, we will ask identifying questions to ensure we are speaking to the right person. If you visit the office, you will need to bring a driver’s license or some form of ID with you. Once we have identified you are the correct person and are authorized to make changes on the Social Security record, all we need is the routing number, account number, and type of account established. We don’t ask for a voided check, nor do we obtain verification from the bank. Therefore, you should be sure you are providing accurate information to us. The day of the month you report the direct deposit change makes all the difference. Though the exact date

varies each month, generally, you will need to report changes by the fifteenth to see the effect on the next check. When the fifteenth falls on the weekend or a holiday, the cutoff is usually the previous business day. For example, if you switched banks or have a new account in September, you will need to provide the new information to Social Security by September 14 to receive your next payment in the new account. If you don’t report this change to us until September 28, your next payment will go into the old account. Because you may be unsure if your direct deposit change will affect your next payment, we highly recommend you do not close the old bank account until you have seen your first Social Security deposit in the new bank account. That way, you can feel secure you will receive your benefits on time, regardless of when the change was reported to Social Security. Waiting until you see the deposit in your

Knowing how easy it is to report a direct deposit change, what information to report, and when, can encourage you to get in touch with Social Security at the earliest possible moment. In addition, making sure we know about a change early ensures we help make the transition as smooth as possible.

by Stevens County Extension Agent Ron Honig - Agriculture and Natural Resources Cull Cows Can Provide a Good Marketing Opportunity Open cows are often viewed as a failure and sometimes a disappointment to cattlemen. However, cattlemen might be surprised at the amount of revenue that can be realized from cull cow sales. K-State Beef Systems Specialist Justin Waggoner, recently provided the following summary of data collected by the Kansas Farm Management Association on Kansas cow-calf operations from 2010-2015. Participating operations had an average herd size of 126 head, weaned an 84% calf crop, and sold 106 calves and 20 head of breeding stock or cull animals annually. In the 2015 data, the average gross income of participating operations was $118,710, the sale of breeding stock or culls generated $28,453 of that figure. Thus, the cull cows accounted for 24% of the participating operations gross income.

Waggoner says although marketing cull breeding stock/cows are often viewed as a loss, it is a significant source of income that should not be overlooked. Most cull cows are sold through local auction markets. Therefore, understanding the market and making timely marketing decisions is one of the most important components of realizing the most dollars out of a cull cow. Slaughter cow prices tend to be highest and relatively steady from February to August, and then decline rapidly, being lowest in the

The Stevens County Conservation District’s initial land conservation cost-share programs sign up will begin September 1 through September 20, 2018. The conservation program funding is provided by the State Conservation Commission through appropriation from the Kansas Water Plan Fund. The programs assist in implementing critical area planting and pasture and hayland projects that can have a significant impact on reducing soil erosion and improving water quality. These practices are to establish and re-establish long-term stands of adapted species of perennial or reseeding forage plants. These plantings also reduce erosion on existing pasture and hayland or on land converted from other uses. Windbreak / Shelterbelts are offered to conditions in or around open cropland needing protection against wind to soils or crops and livestock facilities. The program also offers establishment and renovation of farm and homestead windbreaks for protection and energy efficiency. All Grazing Land Health (GLH) practices must serve 40 acres or more to be eligible and maintain a grazing plan for at least one grazing season. This

would include livestock water wells, tanks, and pipelines. The primary purpose of all water supply practices is to provide water for livestock to facilitate proper use of vegetation on range-land or pasture. CrossFencing which is designed within an existing perimeter fence, is available to improve grazing distribution. Irrigation Water Conveyance Pipeline: The function of this practice is to convert flood irrigation system to sprinkler irrigation or SDI systems. The conservation objective of this pipeline practice is to utilize low drift nozzles or low pressure, below canopy application systems which will yield a reduction in water usage while maintaining tolerable soil erosion levels. Cost-share is available for decommissioning abandoned water wells on irrigation and domestic wells. The Conservation District offers upgrading failing onsite wastewater systems to a new system that meets our county codes. The program does not cost-share on repairs or partially replacements. Both of these practices are to protect from contamination by home or farmstead pollution sources that can impair surface and ground water quality. The conservation pro-

months of October, November and December. Essentially, the worst time to market a cull cow, based on the seasonal nature of the market, aligns with pregnancy determination and weaning on most springcalving operations. If open cows are identified in late summer and are in good condition, marketing those animals as soon as possible would likely result

in a higher price than waiting until later in the fall. If open cows are identified later in the fall, Waggoner believes deferring marketing until late winter or early spring might be more advantageous than marketing those animals immediately. Provided resources are available, placing cull cows on a low-input feeding program that would add additional weight and condition might pay a dividend over dumping cattle into a historically low fall market.

Reeds to celebrate 65 years September 11, 1953, Ron Reed and Temple Hurd began their life together. Over the next 65 years they settled in western Kansas, raised their children, educated students, built lifelong friendships and became positive influences in their community. With this in mind, the family is hoping all of you will join them in a celebration of their life together.

Rolla has begun their year with a bang! Monday, August 27 the junior high and high school joined with Elkhart’s junior high and high school and attended the “What’s Next” symposium. Students listened to several speakers in the morning and had a hamburger lunch at the Elkhart Civic Center. After lunch,

juniors and seniors were invited to visit with a panel of eight former students, four from Rolla and four from Elkhart, while sophomores and below from Rolla swam at Elkhart’s indoor pool. The students gained a lot of information in that short amount of time. It was a great day for the Pirates and Wildcats.

Grade school takes a break Thursday, August 30 was a day full of activities. The grade school celebrated the first full week of classes by taking a little break after testing. Students gathered in the front hallway to watch the

movie “Sing” and relax. After lunch, the students and teachers went to Elkhart to swim at their indoor pool. Everyone had a great time with all the activities.

Lower elementary students read “Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes” as part of their curriculum this week. While the upper level students completed their testing, these kiddos experimented on the playground with turning white shoes into many colors. The students were encouraged to walk in paint and began to see how the colors ran together to create new colors. All the students enjoyed this first “science” experiment. Great job, Mrs. Pinkley, Mrs. Kallenbach, Mrs. Winters, Mrs. Dunn and Ms. Ferny for making science fun!

The colors began to change as the students walked from one end to the other. Charlotte Wood leads, with Brittanya Alberty, Aubery Martinez and Maria Wall following, as well as others.

Notes from Nancy

Insurance Certificate enrollment swells at Kansas universities Enrollment in courses eligible for the Kansas Insurance Certificate program at several Kansas higher learning institutions has swelled to approximately 500 students for the 2018 fall semester. The certificate program gives students at the participating schools the opportunity to gain understanding in core insurance concepts while showing prospective employers a work-ready knowledge obtained by prospective employees, according to Ken Selzer, CPA, Kansas Commissioner of Insurance. The participating schools

in the third-year certificate program are Fort Hays State University, Emporia State University, Pittsburg State University and Washburn University. The 12 credit-hour certificate program is designed to advance career opportunities for the students in the financial services industry, including the insurance field. Students have the opportunity to enroll in classes offered through the participating institutions. Once the courses are successfully completed, the student will receive the certificate, which can become part of the student’s resume packet when

seeking employment following graduation. “The certificate program allows students to take focus-area courses online or through traditional classroom instruction,” said Commissioner Selzer. “Students can take the courses they are most interested in, even if the courses originate at another school associated with the program. And, for many of the courses, students are eligible for scholarship money.” The certificate program is a collaboration between the insurance department and the Kansas Insurance Education Foundation, with monetary support from private businesses. For more information about the certificate program, contact Daniel Rineberg, community outreach specialist, at the Kansas Insurance Department, 785-296-7803, or go online to www.ksinsurance certificate.org.

Help for Older Adults We may not like to think about the fact we have older adults in our community who struggle to pay bills, have adequate food, and skip using needed medications because they can’t afford them. Statistics show this is the case in many of our rural communities. Fortunately there are programs and assistance available, but it requires the seniors being willing to ask for help, and someone to help them look for the help available. The National Council on Aging is one such resource that can help low income seniors find assistance. According to the NCA, more seniors than ever before are carrying debt into retirement. In 2013, median total debt for older adult households was $40,900, according to the Survey of Consumer Finances. Older adults are finding themselves with several kinds of debt, including: • Medical expenses: Seniors managing a chronic disease spend $38,000 on average in their last five years of life. • Credit cards: 32% of senior households have credit card debt, and 25% of them

have a balance greater than $7,200. • Housing: More than 30% of older adult renters spend nearly half of their income on housing. It’s easy to find these programs on Benefits CheckUp®, a free service from the National Council on Aging. Benefits CheckUp® takes the stress, time, and guesswork out of finding programs that can help you afford basic needs. In less than 15 minutes, you can complete a confidential online questionnaire that will connect you with programs to help pay for medicine, food, utilities, health care, and more. In many cases, you can even apply for the programs online.

Some of the assistance programs available include: Medications, Food, Utilities, Legal Services, Health Care, Housing, In-home Services, Taxes, Transportation, and more. If you aren’t tech savvy, someone else can help you fill out the information online at www.bene fitscheckup.org.

Did you know? The human papillomavirus, often referred to as HPV, is a group of more than 150 related viruses. According to the American Cancer Society, HPVs are called “papillomaviruses” because some types cause noncancerous tumors known papillomas, or warts. Some types of HPVs are known to cause cancer, including those of the cervix, vagina, vulva, penis, anus, and parts of the mouth and throat. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 79 million people in the United States are currently infected with HPV. HPV vaccines can be very effective, preventing infections that

can cause six different types of cancer, but are most effective when administered to older children and teenagers. The ACS notes that doctors recommend boys and girls receive the HPV vaccine at age 11 or 12. In such instances, boys and girls will receive two doses of the vaccine six to 12 months apart. While the vaccine can be administered later, kids or even young adults who do not receive the vaccine when they are between the ages of 15 and 26 will need to receive three doses within an eightmonth span.

PUBLIC NOTICE (First published in The Hugoton Hermes, Thursday, September 6, 2018) 3t IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF STEVENS COUNTY, KANSAS IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF DEANA G. HIGGINS, DECEASED Case No. 18PR27

Consumers can now help prevent skin cancer with UPF-rated clothes Many people choose their clothes based largely on their own unique fashion sense. But the clothes people wear can serve a greater purpose than broadcasting their sense of style to the world. The Skin Cancer Foundation notes that clothing is the first line of defense against the sun’s harmful ultraviolet, or UV, rays. The right clothing can absorb and block UV radiation and the SCF recommends wearing such attire as part of an effective sun protection regimen. When purchasing clothing, consumers are urged to determine each article’s ultraviolet protection factor, or UPF. The UPF factor indicates what fraction of the sun’s UVA and UVB radiation can penetrate the fabric and reach the skin. Clothing with a UPF of 50 will only allow one fiftieth of

the sun’s UV radiation to reach the skin. The UPF rating system is relatively new, so consumers in North America may not find UPF ratings listed on the labels of clothing they typically purchase from their favorite retailers. In addition, the sun protective clothing industry in North America is self-regulated, which means some, but not all, manufacturers’ claims regarding the safety of their clothing may be dubious. However, consumers concerned about the safety of the clothing they wear when spending time in the sun can speak with dermatologists about finding clothing manufacturers with strong reputations of producing sun protective clothing that can protect them from the sun’s UV rays.

LOOKING BACK Memories from yesteryear

Official Newspaper of Stevens County, Kansas

The Ed Jones Family By Hattie Smith Mr. and Mrs. Ed Jones grew up on farms near Wellington. After they married in 1897, They moved to Crestline. In 1899, they moved to Nardin, Ok., where Papa worked for a grain company running the elevator. In 1902, we moved to Numa, Ok., where Papa ran a grain elevator for the Ferguson Grain Company. This elevator was run by horse power - namely, a big, beautiful blind horse by the name of Ginger. Sometimes Ginger would stop and clog the elevator, and Papa gave me a whip to use to keep Ginger going. The Ferguson Grain Company was building a new elevator and had the hole dug for the elevator well. At supper time, I went to see where Ginger was, and I found him in the bottom of the elevator well hole. We managed to get him out and he seemed more scared than hurt. In 1904, we moved to a little town named Remington, which is near Fairfax, Ok. Here Papa ran an elevator for

Christmas Dance 1914 at the W. D. Bell Hall. Music by Jones Orchestra: Ed Jones, Hattie, Bob Hess and Bill Near. Taken from the “History of Stevens County and Its People” published in 1979. Lewis Denoy, a Cherokee Indian, who owned a herd of beautiful horses. In 1905, Papa came to Hugoton where a brother-inlaw, Bob Hess, had homesteaded four miles south of the Fairview School. Papa filed on a homestead two miles south of the Fairview School and built us a tworoom house. Then in March

1906, Papa brought his wife and six children to their new home in a covered wagon. On the way there, we stopped at Grandpa Jones’ home in Nardin where Papa and his three brothers who were all musicians, played music for everyone. I played along with them on my mandolin. After we left Grandpa Jones’ home, we stopped at the Hess farm

and Grandma baked us a can of cookies. As we came by another uncle’s farm, Uncle Tyler gave us a rooster and Aunt Jane gave us a hen to take with us to our new home. We had a cook stove in the front of our wagon, and Mom cooked as we traveled. Each night we camped at a wagon yard and Papa and I played our music. In one town, they asked us to come into town and play for them, and they even had chairs set up on the street. When we finally arrived at our new home, we had nothing to even tie the horses to, as there was nothing there but the house, so Papa tied them to the wagon. He took the top off the wagon and used it for our chicken house. Papa made some of our beds fold up into the wall, which were covered with a curtain when folded up. The dish cupboard consisted of a box on the wall with hinges on the bottom which, when opened, made our table. Continued next week. Taken from the “History of Stevens County and Its People”, published in 1979.

History from the Hermes by Ruthie Winget

Thursday, September 4, 2003 young seventh Two graders are being hailed as heroes after they saved a baby and his parents from the torrents of water flooding Canal Street after the deluge of rain received in Hugoton. Matthew Rome and Curt Halling were letting their curiosity lead them to see how much water there was in Canal Street. The boys saw a van traveling north on Adams Street hit the swollen waters as they were walking south on Canal. Halling explains, “It hit the water like ‘Whoosh!’” The car was lifted by the flood waters as it turned askew, frightening its occupants. The boys believe the vehicle floated probably five feet. They tried but they could not get the doors open. Halling waded into the water and took the baby which was passed to him through a window. Halling passed it to Rome and started helping the mother who was trying to exit the van through the window. John Riddlesperger drove up in his pickup and saw the situation. Riddlesperger secured a chain he had in his pickup to the van and pulled it out of the flood. Thursday, September 10, 1998 Connie Shelite brought home the 1998 World Champion Trophy at the American Buckskin Registry Association Show in Topeka. The animal to bring her that prize is Dazzle M Honey, a registered buckskin she raised and trained herself with the help from many top horse trainers who are her friends. It was the second colt born on the Shelite farm. Connie is the wife of Marvin Shelite and the daughter of Kathryn Curtis. Thursday, September 15, 1988 Denise Leonard drove #83 to win in a powder puff stock car race at Liberal last weekend. Another Hugoton driver, Virginia Broaddus, finished second in the ten car event. Casey Knox from Hugoton and Karen Munson from Moscow also competed in the event. Thursday, September 7, 1978 In spite of having a meeting on Labor Day, the Southwest Region of the American Agriculture movement was

able to gather 63 representatives from surrounding towns. Walter McClure chaired the meeting. Political awareness, knowledgeability and involvement were among the main goals for the AAM meeting. Thursday, September 5, 1968 Seven service awards were presented to Mr. and Mrs. W.L. Clark last Saturday earned by their son, Pfc. Ronnie Clark. who was killed in action in Vietnam. Pfc. Clark received posthuously the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Good Conduct Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Na-

tional Defense Service Medal and Rifle Marksmanship from the U.S. Army and the Military Merit Medal from the Republic of Vietnam. Pfc. Clark was killed in action in Vietnam February 25. He was stationed with the U.S. Army in the delta region approximately 40 miles from Saigon. He entered the service March 20, 1967, and arrived in Vietnam August 11 of last year. He was assigned to the 15th Engineer Battalion, 9th Division. Friday, August 25, 1933 Dr. W.R. Kenoyer returned to Hugoton last Sunday from Camp Pike near Little Rock,

Ar., where he was called by the government for medical service in the camp. Friday, September 16, 1932 Wages for school teachers have turned sharply down this year, according to the Kansas State College placement bureau. From $150 a month for a nine month position, they are now taking from $80 to $125 with $115 as average.
