USD 210 Board of Education hears about Spanish and “Unplugged” programs The USD 210 Board of Education met Monday for their regular monthly meeting. Middle school / high school Spanish teacher Mr. Medina talked about his plans for progression through the Spanish curriculum in HMS and HHS. His plans include starting the seventh grade class with Spanish A with eighth grade students advancing to Spanish B. When the student moves up to high school, if he or she has taken both classes in middle school, he/she can skip Spanish 1 and start their freshman year in
Spanish 2. The student will work to become fluent in Spanish in Spanish 2. Throughout Spanish 3, students will learn writing and reading proficiency in Spanish. The Eagle Impact Award winner is counselor Karie Gaskill. The board approved the hire of Berenice Saldana as HHS cook, Tanner Rindels as HHS assistant football coach and Jackie Hickey as bus driver. The board accepted the resignation of Shawnda Noyes as HS/MS food service. The change of status of Maria Garcia from sub to full time posi-

tion as HS/MS food service was approved. Primary School Principal Tiffany Boxum informed the board of the number of students presently enrolled in primary school. There are five three-year-olds the school offers services to presently. The school goes to the home for this. There are 40 pre-school students, 30 kinderprep students, 65 kindergarten students, 73 first graders and 68 second graders with a total of 281 students in the primary school. Ms. Boxum also talked about the Seesaw app. Students build an online digital portfolio to share their learning in a safe and engaging way. Each child can document their learning and families are able to connect to their child at home to view the work they are doing. She also told the board parent / teacher conferences are Wednesday and Thursday. Intermediate School Principal Sonja Watkins talked about the science curriculum. She and Mr. Eslinger brought their science teachers together to talk about aligning the fifth and sixth graders with the seventh and eighth graders. The middle school is moving away from the modules to the Kesler lessons so the elementary school wanted to make sure their classes
align with the middle school. So Anthony Davis will focus on life science, Bobbi Ferguson will focus on earth and Morey Mecklenburg will focus on physical science. USA asked Mrs. Watkins to join a committee. They wanted an administrator to represent them on a committee in Topeka. The committee is looking at Dyslexia and the state’s current plan of action. The majority of the members of the task force are reading teachers and parents. Mrs. Watkins is the only administrator on the committee. After the first meeting of greeting and introducing themselves, the group divided into sub committees. The sub committees consist of preservice and inservice professional development, screening and evaluation, current state and federal law, and evidencebased reading practices. These committees are all chaired by Representatives or Senators. Mrs. Watkins is on the evidence -based reading practices committee. Middle School Principal Tyson Eslinger said MAP testing is complete. He talked about the “Unplugged” initiative going on in the middle school. For 20 minutes, the students are unplugged from any electronics. So far the
students are really enjoying the experience of faceto-face visiting. Mr. Eslinger said the HMS parent/teacher conferences are Wednesday from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. and Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. He said there are presently 86 seventh graders and 75 eighth graders in middle school. Mrs. Nordyke has been nominated as Teacher of the Year. Mr. Howie and Mr. Eslinger went to Salina for Mrs. Nordyke’s ceremony to recognize all the educators in Region 1. High School Principal Melody Witt talked about the successful lock-in event at the beginning of school. About 56% of the student body showed up for the event. Band and FFA will be at the State Fair Tuesday. “Unplugged” is also going on at the high school. The group hosted some Pioneer Manor residents Monday. Mr. Howie informed everyone September 26 is the first District Site Council meeting. Parents and community members are invited to attend.

Insight My dad read two newspapers daily when I grew up in the ‘50s. His newspapers of choice were the Kansas City Star and Denver Post. Both arrived on the same day and both contained the latest news from that date in history. The doodlebug or jitney brought the two papers from KC 358 miles to the east and Denver, 255 miles to our west. We farmed outside the small Sheridan County community of Seguin. For you younger readers, people called self-propelled railroad cars doodlebugs or jitneys. Doodlebugs sometimes pulled an unpowered trailer car but were often used singly. They were popular with some railroads during the first to middle part of the 20th century. Jitneys provided passenger and mail service on lightly used branch lines, often in rural areas with sparse populations. By operating these two-car trains in northwestern Kansas, the Union Pacific (UP) didn’t need to use conventional trains consisting of a locomotive and coaches. Several railroads, mostly small regional and local networks, provided their main passenger services through doodlebugs in a cost-cutting effort. This also freed up the UP to use its locomotives for the transportation of wheat, milo, barley and livestock. Our home was located a little more than a block north of the tracks and from the time I saw my first train, I was fascinated by the sound, smoke and the sight of these hulking metal monsters. I couldn’t wait to see them, hear them, count the cars and eventually ride on one of them. Doodlebugs were considerably quieter than the steam lo-
OBITUARIES
Doodlebugs and Jitneys comotives that carried millions and millions of bushels of grain from the breadbasket of the world where I grew up to hungry mouths around the globe. These two-car trains typically consisted of a gasolinepowered engine that turned a generator and provided electricity to traction motors, which turned the axles and wheels on the trucks. The doodlebug that stopped in our little village, population 50 with dogs and cats, usually came midmorning, about 10:15. Back in those days you could almost set your watch by its arrival. And that’s how my dad received his two daily papers on the same day. A half century later after the rail lines were torn up and steam engines were a distant memory my dad subscribed to the Salina Journal. One of his neighbors, Elmer Reitcheck, subscribed to the Hays Daily News. After they’d read their copies, they’d swap. The funny thing about this is that Dad and Elmer were now reading yesterday’s papers. To be more exact, it often took two days to receive their daily papers. That’s right. With all our technology, and lightning quick U.S postal service, it still required two days to deliver a paper 94 and 188 miles. Talk about old news. You know the old saying, “That’s a heck’uva way to run a railroad.” Well, I can’t remember how many times I heard my dad say, “bring back the railroads.” I guess, you could blame part of the demise of today’s papers on transportation and the government, but they both take a beating daily anyway, so back to the story of doodlebugs

and those days of yesteryear. I took one of my first train rides on a doodlebug. I also accompanied my dad to see our relatives in Denver by way of the Rock Island Rocket. That was more than 60 years ago and the 250-mile trip on this streamliner took less than three hours. We literally flew across the plains traveling at speeds of 90 miles-per-hour in this red and silver rocket. It takes four hours to cover this same distance traveling on Interstate 70 today. For my sixth birthday, I asked my parents for a train trip from Seguin to Oakley. It was a little less than 50 miles by train and Mom and Dad drove part of the way beside my sister Cathy and me as we dawdled in the doodlebug on our way to Oakley. This slowpoke traveled half the speed of the Rocket – maybe less. During part of the trip the engineer allowed me to put my hand on the huge silver, metal throttle and as I told my friends later, “I drove the doodlebug part of the way to Oakley.” Bet I couldn’t get anywhere near a train throttle or computer-operated engine room today. SOPs (standard operating procedure), rules and regulations being what they are. I’ll remember that birthday always. And who knows, maybe one day trains will once again play a vital role in transportation. One thing is certain, they won’t carry newspapers anymore.

Guest Editorial Illegal immigration thrives on stolen SSI numbers My youngest daughter was four years old when her Social Security number was found in the possession of an illegal alien living in Lincoln, Ne. who’d been detained in connection with a methamphetamine bust. So I have a unique perspective on the major underground industry which buying and selling stolen SSI numbers has become in the illegal immigrant community. It is an unfortunate component of the death of Iowa college student Mollee Tibbetts, whose body was discovered last week in an Iowa cornfield. A 24-yearold illegal immigrant who worked on a nearby dairy farm led investigators to the body and has since been charged with her stabbing and murder. Indeed it’s the trade in stolen SSI numbers that helps facilitate the illegal immigration challenge that faces the U.S. Just as big a problem is that the Social Security Administration has virtually nothing to gain in helping solve the crime. An SSI number is the magic key for people not legally authorized to be in the country. With it comes employment authenticity and a bona fide identity; it’s a guarantee that payroll taxes can be paid and unemployment contributions withheld, and that your employment identity will fade into the woodwork like so many millions of tax paying workers. It is anonymity that illegal immigrants pay dearly to have.
In Mollie Tibbetts’ case, Christhian Rivera apparently falsified his credentials used by the E-Verify system, the internet-based process that runs an individual’s identity through Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to determine one’s status both nationally and internationally. Rivera’s employer says Rivera passed the E-Verify check. While the full details are not yet known, it is highly likely Rivera had a stolen SSI number. The sobering phone call I got at my office that day 11 years ago from a DEA agent based in Omaha was as enlightening as it was terrifying. His first question: Did we have any domestic help working in our house? It’s common, he explained, for house cleaning staff working in people’s homes to gain access to children’s SSI numbers and sell them to brokers who then resell them to illegals in package deals that set them up in this country. Hospital staff in children’s wings or doctor’s offices work their opportunities too, he told me, because they have access to those numbers from the minute they’re assigned at birth through any time the child seeks medical treatment thereafter. They like kids’ numbers, he told me, because they’re less likely to be used much and they’re pretty much inactive until the first time the kid pays taxes from a summer job or has to file a tax
return. In our case we believed our daughter’s number had been compromised for at least two years – and at no time did it ever seem strange to anyone who worked at Social Security that a four year-old would be paying employment taxes from a construction job in Nebraska. I have reason to wonder how extensive is their background check within the EVerify system if a four year-old paying into the system doesn’t raise a red flag with someone. Now our worries are double. Not only do we have to be concerned that multiple as yet unknown others may have been sold our daughter’s SSI number, but we have to wonder, when filed as a part of her college applications, banking documents or military enlistment papers, will her SSI number be flagged by some leftover error from a drug bust in Lincoln, or who knows what else? Politics of the Tibbetts murder aside, our country has work to be done in denying this all-important key to those who would steal it and facilitate the broader debacle which illegal immigration has become.

Dear Editor, Dana Hip hip hooray for Jan Leonard and his High Plains crew. What an awesome job they did with the entire weekend of balloon kites, enjoyed those very much. All was very enjoyable. But I’m old school, I still believe in respect, honesty and taking care of other’s property. To see the trash left on the ground is very
disrespectful. People spitting gum on sidewalks is very disrespectful. These are very nasty habits. I thought New York City was the nastiest city I have been in because of the gum with dirty on the sidewalks. Have noticed the gum on sidewalks at Dollar General. It was nice and new last year. Nasty habit. Dana L Swan

A Life of Service
Kevin Rawlings, a 1987 graduate of Hugoton High School, passed from this life April 10, 2018 after his second heart transplant. Kevin had heart trouble since his early twenties. He went to high school in Hugoton, but had made his home in Denton, Tx. with his family. Towards the end of his life, he and the family spent a lot of time at the Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Tx. where Kevin had received both his heart transplants. To commemorate his life, his family commissioned a concrete bench featuring his
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
A
quote that is variously attributed to Saint Augustine, Mother Teresa, and Pope Francis, runs as follows: “Whoever does not live to serve does not deserve to live.” The quotation in Spanish is a bit less harsh: “Quien no vive para servir, no sirve para vivir,” which is to say that whoever does not live to serve is not fulfilling the purpose of life. When we live a life of service to others we fulfill the highest purpose in life. Perhaps Jesus said it best when he said that “whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” (Matthew 20:26 NIV) There are many ways that we can serve others, from just being kind and accommodating in our everyday interactions to choosing a career that relieves suffering or otherwise serves valid human interests. Mother Teresa was always humble in the way that she described her work among the poor, saying that “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” The warm smile and friendly tone of voice when helping someone is often what constitutes serving someone well, as opposed to merely “processing” them. And remember, the life of service is its own reward. If you expect to be thanked or otherwise rewarded for your kind service you will often be disappointed.

City crews helped position the bench for the family. This past weekend, Kevin’s family and friends came to Hugoton to see the bench in person. Visitors included Kevin’s wife Janet Rawlings, their children Matthew and Jordan Rawlings of Denton; his parents, Larry and Beulah
Buhrmann from Hutchinson; brother Bobby Rawlings of Hugoton; uncle and aunt David and Yvonne Hawkins from Liberal; and friends Hayden Heath of Denton and Jim Stanford of Stafford. Kevin’s sister Shawna Allen from Hutchinson and brother Rick Rawlings and his wife Donna of Pratt were unable to make the trip. Bobby’s wife Paige was also unable to attend the gathering. The family hopes the people of Hugoton will enjoy the bench for many years.

Safe Food for Older Adults We all understand if you eat spoiled foods you are likely to get ill. But most of us at one time or another have probably consumed something that should have made us sick, but then it didn’t. We all have different reactions to germs and bacteria, and how much of them can enter our systems before we get ill. And for those of us with no health issues in general, we might spin the wheel and win far more often than not. However, for older adults the opposite may be true. The more they spin the

wheel - eating foods with food safety risks - the more often they will lose. Here is some information shared by Karen Blakeslee, our K-State Food Safety Specialist, at a recent meeting I attended. Older adults in long term care homes are ten times more likely to die from bacterial gastroent (Stomach flu), than the general population. There are several reasons why this particular group is more likely than others to experience issues. • The GI tract in older adults holds food longer, allowing bacteria to grow, thus increasing the possibility of illness. • It is harder for the liver and kidneys to rid the body of bacteria and toxins. This may be especially true for someone with renal or liver disease. • An older adult’s stomach may not produce enough acid. The acidity helps to reduce the number of bacteria in our intestinal tract. Without proper amounts of acid, there is an increased risk of bacterial growth. • Older adults are more likely to have chronic conditions, such as diabetes and cancer, that can be adversely affected when consuming foods with safety risks. One of the common consequences of aging is the decreased sharpness of the senses of smell, taste and sight. Because of this, an older adult may be more likely to accidentally consume spoiled food. It is important older adults living alone are especially vigilant about their food safety. Here are some more tips on how to stay safe. • Do not leave food in the 40 º-140 ºF danger zone for more than two hours. If you have meals delivered to your
home, or you bring leftover food home with you after eating out, it is vital to refrigerate that food as soon as possible. If temperatures are above 90 ºF perishable foods should not be left out longer than one hour. Discard food after one hour any time the temperature has stayed above 90 ºF. • Follow recommended storage times. Most prepared foods need to be eaten in three to five days. Foods such as luncheon meats need to be consumed within three to five days once the package has been opened. Especially for older adults, it may be cheaper and safer to purchase just a few slices of deli meat at a time rather than a package, as listeria is a major concern with deli meat contamination. Fresh uncooked meat should only be kept one or two days. • Cooked food items need to be reheated to a piping 165 ºF. Do not eat leftovers cold, especially if they were left out for any extended period of time. • And always remember, "When it doubt, throw it out". Food is expensive, and no one likes to see food being wasted, but a food bourne illness can be very dangerous, especially in someone with compromise health, and the cost of a hospital stay is far more than the cost of throwing a food item out.

Amanda Randle came before to the council to voice her concern over the increased traffic at the intersection of Main and Eleventh Streets when the proposed business will be operating. Chief of Police Courtney Leslie informed the council that because it is a state highway, the city has no control over a traffic system. Outside Utilities Supervisor Paul Nordyke informed the council the grapple hook for the Bobcat, purchased two years ago, is needing to be replaced. He is able to purchase a new one, but the equipment can only be purchased with a credit card. The council

The Kansas Department of Agriculture (KDA) Pesticide and Fertilizer Program received a grant for the disposal of orphan pesticides. Orphan pesticides are those pesticide products no longer registered for use with the KDA or the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The program requires participants to submit a list of the old product’s name, the original EPA product registration number, the quantity, and a photo of the product to the KDA before the end of September 2018. Once KDA receives the information, it will schedule pickup by an environmental services company contracted to collect the chemicals from around the state.
There is no cost for the disposal, however, funds for the program are limited and will be used on a first come, first served basis. Once funds are exhausted, KDA will no longer accept appointments for pesticide pickup. County residents that have old pesticide products and wish to have them disposed of at no cost, should contact Judy Glass with the KDA at 785-564-6690 or email Glass at Judy.Glass@KS.gov with the list of pesticides and photos. Residents needing additional information may also contact the Stevens County Extension office at 620-544-4359.

effect on wheat yields than seeding rate. Averaged across years 2015 to 2017, T158 was the highest yielding variety at Garden City and Colby. Byrd was the highest yielding variety at Tribune, but the lowest yielding at the other two locations. At all locations, grain yields were increased by increasing seeding rate. When averaged across all locations and years, yields were increased 8 bu/ac by increasing the seeding rate from 30 to 60 lb/ac and an additional 3 bu/ac when the seeding rate was increased to 90 lb/ac. There was not a significant variety x seeding rate interaction as all varieties responded positively to increased seeding rate. These results support a previous Kansas State University recommendation that the economic optimum seeding rate for dryland winter wheat production in western Kansas is 60 lb/ac, while the highest yield can be obtained with a 75 lb/ac seeding rate.

were planted at five seeding rates (30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 lb/ac) in the fall of 2014, 2015, and 2016 at the three locations. The objective of the study was to identify appropriate seeding rates for dryland winter wheat in western Kansas. Averaged across varieties, a seeding rate of 60 lb/ac seemed to be adequate at all locations in 2015. However, with higher yields in 2016, a higher seeding rate (75lb/ac) was beneficial. Although yields were less in 2017 than 2016, a seeding rate of 75 lb/ac generally produced higher yields. The wheat variety T158 was the highest yielding (or in the highest yielding group) at all locations in 2015. Other varieties may have been affected by differential response to stripe rust and winter injury resulting in lower yields. In 2016, wheat yields were very good at all locations, however, the highest yielding variety varied by location. There was a significant positive yield response to increased seeding rate at Tribune and Colby but no significant response to seeding rate at Garden City. TAM 114 was in the highest yielding variety at each location in 2017. Variety selection and growing conditions appears to have more

Pirates football travel to Bird City The Rolla High School Pirates football team took a bit of a road trip Friday, September 7. They played the Cheylin High School Cougars in Bird City.

ond quarter, when the Cougars began making their move. The Pirates played tough all the way around but were unable to pull out the win. The final score of 43 to 74 does not reflect the heart the Pirates left on the field. This Friday night, September 14, the PlummerBane Field will be lit up in
the first high school home football game against the Golden Plains Bulldogs. The seniors will be having their full concession stand, complete with a delicious meal of pulled pork, baked beans, potato salad and choice of dessert. Come out and support the Pirates!

The boys hung in there playing the full four quarters, unfortunately losing with a score of 25-53. Head coach Bret Harp said “On the game against Golden Plains, penalties probably cost us the game. We had five or six huge penalties that cost us at least
21 points. We lost 25-53, but the game would have been much different if we'd had those scores. The guys played very hard, and we are all still learning how this sixman game works.

LOOKING BACK
History from the Hermes by Ruthie Winget
Thursday, September 11, 2008 The Stevens County Commissioners approved Paula Rowden to be the Stevens County Health Officer at their recent meeting. Thursday, September 17, 1998 The Radio Shack store in the Hugoton Coast to Coast celebrated their Grand Opening last week. Well wishers and the Hugoton Chamber of Commerce representatives gathered for a ribbon cutting ceremony. The Coast to Coast store is owned by Jake and Ginger Howard. Thursday, September 16, 1993 Stevens County 4-H member Warren Willis placed first in the 4-H Weed and Crop Identification Contest at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson. Thursday, September 1, 1988 “Dark Before Dawn” premiered at Showplace Theatre. Filmgoers got to see Jeff Cox driving his combine and Gary Jordan performing aerial feats in the movie. The Deckers reported they had an average of 400 customers a night to see the production which was largely shot in Hugoton last summer. Thursday, September 22, 1988 A string of destruction created this past weekend
has led to an arrest. Sheriff Russ DeWitt reports he was informed someone had attempted to drive through the entrance of Jack & Jill Grocery Store. Further calls led the sheriff and his men to the post office where someone had evidently tried to break into the copy machine to get the money in the coin box. Also, the entrance to Taylor Mart was reported shattered by a vehicle. Evidence at the scene led the men to believe the vandal had entered the store through the broken window and unlocked the back door. He then loaded up his vehicle with several hundred dollars worth of beer and cigarettes, money, sunglasses, “everything he could get his hands on,” according to DeWitt. After following several leads, the sheriff arrested a suspect who soon confessed to the crime. Thursday, September 14, 1978 O.D. Littrell, Stevens County Sheriff, offered his resignation to the Stevens County Commissioners at their September 5 meeting. It was accepted. Littrell has served in this position since January 13, 1971. He was elected for three terms of two years each and most recently for a four year term which would be up in 1980. His resignation will become effective October 1, 1978.
The Show Place was filled with eager film goers last Wednesday night as the world premiere of “Dark Before Dawn” was shown. A delegation from the Kansas Film Commission was on hand for the showing of the film which was largely shot in Hugoton last summer. Taken from the Hugoton Hermes September 1, 1988 edition. Governor Robert Bennet will appoint a sheriff to serve the remaining two years of Littrell’s term. Undersheriff Russ DeWitt will be acting sheriff until a replacement is named. Thursday, September 11, 1958 Bill Leonard was awarded Grand Champion in open class with his milo display at the Stevens County Fair last weekend. By winning, he was named Sorghum King and assisted in the crowning of the Sorghum Queen. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lee
Leonard. Friday, September 1, 1933 Mr. and Mrs. Roy Bennett started for Guymon Sunday but could not get through on account of the high water and bridges out. They went to Hooker expecting to get through on Highway 54 but the road was also impassable. If any readers have pictures or memories for the history page of the Hermes, please bring them in to Ruthie Winget at the Hugoton Hermes Newspaper.
Memories from yesteryear The Ed Jones Family By Hattie Smith Continued from last week Papa went to work on the 24 Ranch at $22.50 per month, which left my brother Carl and me to do the farming. Our first crop was cantaloupe and watermelons. We had a watermelon seeder, but we seeded the cantaloupe by hand, which was hard on fingernails. Carl, Merl, Frank and Bruce brought the melons to the seeder, and I scooped the rinds from the seeder. We then sold the seeds. The man who ran the 24 Ranch died, and the ranch was sold, so my parents went to work running a thrashing machine for Well Jerman. Papa ran the thrasher, and Mom worked in the cook shack. That left Carl and my little brothers and I to run the farm. When Carl wasn’t farming, he was hauling water for the thrashing machine. Merl got hurt by a horse, so Mom came home to take care of him, and I took her place in the cook shack as there were still two weeks to go. Before the railroad came to Hugoton, freight was hauled from Liberal to Hugoton by wagon train. Papa helped with this, too. The roads were just paths and sand hills. There were some sand hills about three miles from our house, and Carl and I would meet them at the sand hills with a wagon and four horses to help them through. In 1914, Papa brought the Ematon telephone line to Hugoton. Before this time, the telephone wire was the top line on the homesteader’s fences. The telephone office was in the Funk and Woods Feed Store. Uncle Brooks Wright lived in the building, and I was the telephone operator. By 1915, we were all back on the farm. In August 1915, I had just moved onto my own homestead, and there was another quarter of land adjacent to mine I could file on. So Mom

Soar over to KWEC’s Butterfly Festival All things “butterfly” will be the focus of the Kansas Wetlands Education Center’s (KWEC) Butterfly Festival from 9:00 a.m. to noon September 15 in Great Bend. From puppet shows to tagging monarch butterflies, kids and adults will find plenty to do during this free and educational event. New this year, the StoneLion Puppet Theatre will present “Bubba and Trixie,” a story of a scaredy-cat caterpillar too afraid to leave its leaf until it meets a fearless lady bug. Through their adventures – including the caterpillar’s transformation into a butterfly – they form true friendship and face their fears. StoneLion Puppets will present three 30minute shows at 9:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., with a puppet craft in-between shows and walking puppets. Nets and tags will be available for those who want to capture and tag monarch butterflies. Participants will receive information about the tagging process before heading out with a tagging leader to search for the butterflies. In the last three years, 16 tagged monarchs released at KWEC have been recovered from winter
roosts in Mexico. Weather permitting, an exhibit bee hive will be on display in the insect zoo in addition to fluorescing scorpions, giant walking stick insects, butterflies, caterpillars and chrysalises. Plan to spend the morning, as door prizes will be presented around noon, along with free milkweed plants (one per family). Information on butterfly-friendly plants and composting will also be available, courtesy of the Barton County Master Gardeners group, along with examples of butterfly-friendly plants in the KWEC pollinator garden. Kids can play in the mud and make a seed bomb (soil mixture and native flower seeds) to take home to plant. Then, find your inner insect by taking your photo at one of the monarch butterfly or caterpillar photo boards and dress-up area. Kids can also create caterpillar and butterfly crafts in the class room, then refuel as a family with light refreshments and drinks. For more information, contact the KWEC at 1-877-2439268 or visit wetlands center.fhsu.edu.

The threshing machine is owned by Well Jerman. Ed Jones is on the engine, Mrs. Lenora Jones at back of cook shack, and Carl Jones on and I went to Dodge City by train where I filed on this adjoining land. In late 1920, we moved to Hugoton where Papa ran the Farmers Elevator, and I worked for Bell Telephone. My brothers ran the farm. Later Papa served two terms as Stevens County Sheriff, after which we bought the Jones Machine Shop, and he

and my brothers ran the shop. During the years we lived in Stevens County, Papa, Uncle Bob Hess and I played for dances. When we still lived in the farm, we would come to Hugoton in a wagon and team, which we left at Curry’s Horse Barn. When we were ready to come home, they had our bricks warm for
the wagon, and the team ready to go. In 1936, Papa moved to Huntsville, Arkansas, and bought a 160 acre farm. They loved it there and lived the rest of their lives there. Taken from the “History of Stevens County and Its People”, published in 1979.

Debbie Nordling’s State Farm awards $100 to safe drivers In an effort to promote awareness of responsible seatbelt use, Safe Kids Kansas, KDOT, and State Farm once again teamed up to reward drivers who buckle up with the Bucks for Buckles event. This year’s campaign, was in 56 cities across Kansas, featured local volunteers handing out dollar bills to drivers who had all vehicle occupants buckled up correctly. Educational materials were handed out to those not buckled up correctly. These events took place August 23 through September 9.
Hugoton State Farm Agent Debbie Nordling hosted a local Bucks for Buckles event August 28 and 29, and handed out $100.00 to passing drivers whose vehicle occupants were all buckled securely. 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 that State Farm has supported Safe Kids Kansas and 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 Gamble. “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-first-ranked state in seat belt use in 2016.

Talkin’ about religion Rolla History from David Stout Last week I wrote about inviting Marvin Weese and his wife Y'Vetta Mae (Hunt) to a revival at the Rolla Methodist Church in September 1963. He and his wife came, and since I worked for Marvin, this gave us an opportunity the following morning to chat about something other than the weather. As Marvin and I worked together on the scaffolding at the top of the walls of the newly emerging Credit Union, we inevitably got to talking about the previous night’s services, and the first thing Marvin did was to thank me for inviting him. He said in all the years of living in Rolla no one had ever invited him and his wife to church. My invitation was the first. He continued, “Your preacher was right about one thing last night, though.” “What was that?” I asked. “He said the Methodist Church was started by a guy named John Wesley a couple of hundred years ago,” Marvin explained. “Yeah? So?” I asked puzzled, totally not getting his point. “The Methodist Church was started by an ordinary man only a couple hundred years ago,” Marvin explained. “The guy who

The original Methodist Church in Rolla, Kansas, photographed circa 1962-1963 started my church, the Church of Christ, was Jesus Christ. There are only two true churches – The Church of Christ and the Church of God.” The pride he felt wasn’t very subtle. Shame on him! I’m sure such pride is a sin in his books. I was incredulous! Marvin obviously didn’t know very much about the history of the world or Christianity in particular. But I was more than happy to educate him. “Tell me, are these two churches Catholic or Protestant?” I asked Marvin, setting him up for the kill. “Protestant! Whadda’ yuh’ think?” “Really?” said I, feigning surprise. “Yeah, really! Why would you ask such a question?” “Well, because until Martin Luther nailed his proclamation on the door of his local Catholic Church, protesting the teachings of the Church, there weren’t any Protestant churches. There was no church other than the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Luther said we get our salvation from Christ, not from the pope. He was PROTESTing and this is where the word ‘protestant’ comes from – protester,
protest-ant. He was the founder of all Protestant churches only about three or four hundred years ago. Until then, there was no such thing as the ‘Church of God’ or the ‘Church of Christ.’ I don’t know exactly when the ‘Church of God’ or the ‘Church of Christ’ got established, but it would have to be sometime afterwards. If you really want to be a member of the truly original Church, then you need to become a Catholic because they can trace their line of popes all the way to Jesus giving Peter the keys to heaven, making him the first pope.” Marvin was a bit taken aback. He apparently had never heard of such things. He was surprised I knew as much about the history of Christianity as I did, and looking back on it now, I’m rather amazed myself I knew such detail when only 18 years old and nothing more than a Rolla High School graduate. Where did all this stuff come from? (Obviously, from my Mom’s religion studies on her lap, from Sunday school, and from Vacation Bible School.) (to be continued next week)

ago. "Last week saw a brief and fairly tame rise in the national average, brought on mainly by a select few states where gas prices tend to be volatile. Overall, it was a mostly stable week with some up and down movement state-by-state, but now we await the changeover to winter gasoline that happens this Saturday for some relief at the pump," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "While Hurricane Florence may pose fuel-related challenges for areas of the East Coast, there is little to no threat to refineries at this time and is thus unlikely to bring measurable impact to the national average price of gasoline, but could bring supply challenges to several states, depending on levels of evacuations and timing of them. Hurricane season aside, gasoline demand will likely drift lower nearly countrywide, putting some additional downward impact on prices in most communities over the next few weeks."
