Library turns over new leaf The Stevens County Library has microfilm from every newspaper printed in Stevens County. Included in the holdings are fifteen separate newspapers spanning almost 130 years. Although we have provided a database with many of the obituary records culled from these newspaper archives, looking through microfilm or hard copy newspaper files for particular information about any person mentioned in the newspapers is a laborious and timeconsuming endeavor The Stevens County Library is pleased to announce that digitization of the microfilm of the newspapers of Stevens County is now complete. Through a generous grant from the Board of the Parsons Trust, the library contracted with Advantage Preservation to scan more than sixty reels of microfilm and create an online website to house the information. A link to the new website is located on the home page. library’s There are no restrictions for accessing the online archives. Those that are interested in searching the database online need not be a Stevens County Library patron, as the information is free of charge to everyone.
The online address for the digital archives is www.stevenscounty.ad vantage-preservation.com. Exploration of the website archives can be accomplished by initiating a simple word search. More specific information can be obtained by enclosing the same search in quotation marks. For example, entering Stevens County Library will return mentions of Stevens, of county, and of library. Entering the same search as “Stevens County Library” will return articles where the three terms are used together in that particular order. Searches in the archives will continue to improve with regularly scheduled software upgrades by Advantage Preservation. Current returns occasionally include random characters caused when the database tries to read imperfections on the page. The first upgrade will significantly reduce these random characters and is slated to be completed before the end of this year. Please take time to investigate this wonderful new opportunity for local research provided by the Stevens County Library and the Board of the Parsons Trust.

Commissioners discuss from roads and prisoners to stop signs and phones The Stevens County Board of County Commissioners met in regular session Monday, September 16, 2013 with all members, James Bell, Pat Hall and Dave Bozone, present. Also present were County Counselor Robert Johnson and RoGlenda Coulter from The Hugoton Hermes. County Clerk Pam Bensel was not present at first so Susan Schulte sat in. The following is just an agenda for the morning with a few of the unofficial highlights. Official minutes will be published at a later date. The commissioners’ agenda for Monday was: 8:30 - Bills; 9:00 - Tony Martin; 9:30 - Pat LeClerc with Blue Cross and Blue Shield; 10:00 - Paula Row-
den; 10:30 - Roger Lynch; 11:00 - Robert Davis; and 12:00 - Lunch. When this reporter arrived at 8:45 the commissioners were talking with Tony Martin with his report from Road and Bridge. Tony reported that the new graders are in and are really nice. He said the company is asking for a check today (Monday). Commissioners agreed that would be possible. They went on to talk about various roads in the county, sprinkler end guns and asphalt jobs. Sheriff Ted Heaton came in to report. He had bills he had presented the city for some prisoners the county jail is housing for the city. Some of the expenses were marked off as not the city’s

responsibility. Following much discussion, it was determined that they should be city expenses as they are not county prisoners. The subject then turned to the traffic coming out of Abengoa at quitting time. Dave said the commissioners are very concerned about the safety of citizens. Most of the drivers coming onto Highway 51 from Road Ten and the same onto the blacktop of Depot Road, are not stopping at the stop signs. They are not even attempting to stop. This subject has come up before and Dave was wondering if it would be possible to get state officers involved. Ted stated that he and his deputies are doing all they can. Tickets are being issued and they have
even gone out to Abengoa and talked about it. They will continue to do all they can to put a stop to this dangerous situation. While waiting for Pat LeClerc, the commissioners discussed various issues. Each commissioner has to represent Stevens County at different meetings and groups so they appointed and volunteered for each of these. Pat LeClerc with Blue Cross and Blue Shield was a no-show so the commissioners took a short break. Paula Rowden with Stevens County Health Department was next to come in. Paula apologized but said she understood that the company they accepted the $24,000 bid for, for the inContinued to page 4

Senator Jerry Moran expresses concerns with HHS OIG report U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), who serves as Ranking Member of the Senate Appropriations Health Subcommittee, said in a statement that he is opposed to recommendations regarding Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) suggested in the recent U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) Report. The report proposes eliminating the CAH designation for any hospital participating in the CAH program in accordance with state “necessary provider” designations. Seventy-two of Kansas’ 83 CAHs could be
impacted if Congress passes legislation implementing the report’s recommendations. “I believe this report fails to comprehend the reality of health care delivery in Kansas and across rural America. If implemented, these proposals would immediately jeopardize the survival of CAHs and other rural hospitals in our state and endanger Kansans’ access to health care in their own communities,” Sen. Moran said. “Eliminating CAHs under the report’s proposals would trigger a chain reaction that would result in multiple hospitals Continued to page 5
Stevens County EcoDevo pays out more Housing Incentive money The Stevens County Economic Development Board met Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at noon in the Senior Center craft room. Attending the meeting were Stevens County Economic Development Director Neal Gillespie, Secretary Ruth Van Horn, board members Jack Rowden, Steve Rome, Jan Leonard, Mark Crawford, Bryne Sullins and Doug Martin. Also present were Stevens County Commissioner Jim Bell and Hugoton Hermes Ruthie Winget. Board members absent were Josh Morris, Jody Wacker and Dan Corpening. Steve
Rome presided. Treasurer Jack Rowden reported the checking account balance to be $1,011.92. The total Special Projects balance is $54,447.18 of which $11,199.17 is the Housing Incentive balance. The board passed the motion to transfer $5,000 over to the checking account and to pay the bills. The board voted to give Rick Wolters Construction $3,500 from the Housing Incentive for the Joshua Grubbs’ house. Last month, Duane West received $5,000 from the Housing Incentive
from EcoDevo. Housing at this time is being appraised for less than it costs to build new houses. Neal reported he sent in the application for the Moderate Income Housing grant. With all the supporting documentation, the application consisted of 75 pages. There will be a lot of competition for these grants. Gillespie informed the board about the progress of the KDOT EcoDevo grant concerning Highway 51 east of Hugoton. The traffic impact study has been completed. No decisions have been made at this time.
KDOT is considering a three lane highway in front of the new industrial park. Turning lanes may also be provided leading into business driveways. No grant application can be done until this decision is made by KDOT. Rural Housing Incentive District is another tax incentive program. The property taxes could go toward the special taxes of new residences. The county, city and school district would have to sign off on any projects. RHID districts also have to be approved by the Kansas Secretary of Commerce. Continued to page 3

Airport Board approves taxilane project The Board of the Hugoton Airport met for their regularly scheduled meeting Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at the airport meeting room. Present at the meeting were Airport Manager Gary Porter, Secretary Risa Norton, board members Dell Cullison, Kim Harper, Robert Davis and Jeff Crawford. Guest attending the meeting was Hugoton Hermes reporter Ruthie Winget. Board member Dax Gaskill was absent. Robert Davis presided. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The board received an update about the KDOT grant for the taxilane replacement. Eric Johnson from Kirkham Michael put through a conference call with the board so they could voice their concerns. KDOT will pay 75 percent or about $800,000 for this project. The airport will be responsible for the remainder of the costs which comes to approximately $283,000. Eric reported Anadarko might want to replace a gas pipeline at the same time when the taxilane is replaced. The gas line is only 28 inches deep in this area and it should be 48 inches deep. This taxilane replacement should not bother their gas line. This project will be done in three phases so it will not affect use of aircraft in the hangar
areas. The motion was made and approved to accept Kirkham Michael’s design for the taxilane project. The board asked the bids be posted as soon as possible. The board reviewed and approved the financial report. They also reviewed and approved the July financial report which showed a correction. They then paid the bills. Manager Gary Porter presented his manager’s report. He stated the REIL (Runway
End Identification Lights) on the north end of 20 are out. Warren Struckle will be at the airport during the last week of September to repair the lights. The board told Gary to have Struckle evaluate the light system while he is here. Porter replaced the burned out lightbulbs on the runway, taxiway and tetrahedon. He had mowed the entire airport and around the runway lights, taxiway lights and also the north fence line. Gary replaced blades on both mowers.
The manager has received a bid from Weston Asphalt for cleaning and preping the crosswind runway and seal coating it. Curtis Houser of Kirkham Michael will be at the airport Monday for inspection to see what the runway needs. The new water fountain works well. The pilots will appreciate it. The meeting adjourned. The next meeting will be October 9, 2013.

After some discussion, the board decided they did not need to be a member of U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Ruth also told the board a representative from the Heritage Company stopped by to see if the Chamber would like to join their company which

County commissioners Continued from page 1 ternet / phone service would provide all they would need for the new health center. She has recently found this not to be true. She checked with Pioneer and explained the situation to them. She apologized to them for not accepting their bid, as they explained that they could provide all they need for $22,000. Some of the equipment that would be provided at this cost may not even be needed which would drop the cost to near $16,000. They were told also that Pioneer can work with the wiring already in the building. The other provider said they could not. Paula was asked about using cell phones. She said this is not allowed when it comes to health issues because there is the chance of taping into them. Commissioners made and passed the motion to accept Pioneer Communications as the new communications provider for the new Health Department. Paula was asked about the communication between the
hospital and her department in health and emergency situations. She said she thinks that she and Linda Stalcup have worked things out. Commissioners said if there is anything they can do to help with that issue to let them know. They talked with Paula about various other topics such as the dumping of raw sewage in the county and feral animals running amuck. Roger Lynch is in charge of county zoning. He was present and said there was a report of the sewage problem happening in Morton County and possibly in Stevens. He thinks it has been resolved. It was discussed that the Health Department needs to have possibly quarterly official meetings with the commissioners. They all agreed to this. Paula will schedule these meetings. After some discussion the motion was made and passed to appoint Paula as the official County Health Officer. She advised the commissioners that flu shots were being given

today (Monday) to county employees. There is now a special flu shot available for over 65 year olds. When asked when they would be moving to the new facility, Paula didn’t know for sure. Roger Lynch came in for some zoning issues. He talked to the commissioners about a modular home being moved to a location that was just shy a small bit of having the correct acreage. He asked the commissioners their opinion. They also talked of the year of mobile home that can be moved. Nothing over 20 years old is allowed. Roger told the commissioners that he may be gone a lot in October due to a program he has became involved in. The commissioners told Roger that an issue west of town is going to have to be addressed. They (the commissioners and Bob Johnson) will take care of it. Robert Davis from the Airport Board was next. He requested an executive session. Following the executive session, Pam returned. She told the commissioners of a resolution they needed to adopt. Motion was made and passed to do so. Some changes were made to the minutes from last meeting. Pam told the commissioners that Abengoa had wired the money for the damages from the Moscow fire. Meeting adjourned.

USD 210 Board of Education discusses laptops in the classroom The Hugoton USD 210 Board of Education met September 16, 2013 for a regular Board of Education meeting. Stephanie Heger, president of the Hugoton School District Board of Education called the meeting to order. Present at the meeting were Don Beesley, Barry Hittle, Matt Mills, Todd Gayer, Paula Rowden, Stephanie Heger, Elise Heger, Tiffany Boxum, Stuart Scott, Clint Merritt, Mark Newton, Lance Custer, Aubrey Rice, Jan Kilbourne and Kay McDaniels. Board member Martin Daharsh arrived at 7:20 p.m. Mrs. Heger talked about the School Board walk through. More discussion will follow at the next board meeting. The agenda was approved. the board accepted the new hire of Jaime Millan Pizarro as second shift custodian. Stuart Scott, IT Manager and Aubrey Rice, HHS English Language Arts teacher gave the presentation for technology integration and 1:1 laptop updates. Ms. Rice did an excellent job talking about the exciting, yet sometimes difficult job of moving one’s instruction to a more integrated IT classroom where assignments are shared and
turned in electronically. She shared about how the laptops in the classroom are simply a learning tool, but a powerful one. Student reading of textbook and print material will never fully be replaced by IT devices. Each HHS student possessing a laptop has increased communication between teachers and students. In her second year teaching at USD 210, she is using Google docs to share content, lectures and communicate with her students. Stuart talked about the nuts and bolts of the IT department. Students in seventh-twelfth grades have done an excellent job taking care of their school issued laptops. There have been 28 insurance claims since the beginning of the 1:1 initiative. When a computer is damaged, students pay the deductible of $100 and the computer is repaired. The district has not lost a single laptop from its inventory. Of those repairs needed, most have been for cracked computer screens. Mr. Scott shared the long-term vision of moving more iPads into the elementary with some possible pilots in certain grade levels for 2014-2015; however, he said all plans will be vet-
Edna Olinger proved her high school teacher wrong. He told her she’d never be worth anything doing shorthand and typing for a living. During World War II people encouraged Edna to go to Washington, D. C. and work. She told them she didn’t think she could pass the test, but that if she could pass it, she would go. Well, as it turned out, Edna did pass the test and was accepted to work in Washington. She was intimidated by the prospect of going there though. “I had cold feet.” But she overcame her fear and spent four years working as a secretary for the Navy Department. She was the head of the typing and secretarial pool and enjoyed her work there very much. She returned home to Kansas one year after the war was over. Edna went back to that teacher and told him she’d spent the last four years doing what he told her she wasn’t capable of doing and that she had made a good living at it. Edna was born in a little town called Edler, Co., which is just across the state line. When she was four, she and her family moved to the Kismet/Plains area. Then they moved to a peach farm in Hayne where they sold beautiful, big peaches from the trees. It was during this time her father was operating a road maintainer and the horses threw him off. He became an invalid after the accident, so the family then moved to Liberal. Edna’s mother cared for him, but she also had to find work to make a living for their ten children. There were six girls and four boys, and Edna was the fifth child. When Edna was sixteen, her father died. Edna worked at the Schull Waffle Shop for the four years while she went to high school. She put in long hours from early in the morning until about 10:00 p.m. seven days a week. The money she made went to help support her family. After high school she worked at Duckwall’s, then she went to Washington, D. C. When Edna came back from Washington, D.C., she worked at Panhandle Eastern for a year. This was about the time she met Charles
ted with his IT leadership committee. Elise Heger, Director of Curriculum and Professional Development presented some highlights including last year’s ACT results. These were the best results the district has had at HHS in a long time. A total of 61 students paid for and took the ACT on a Saturday last school year. This is a record number of test takers. Mrs. Heger also spoke about the use of the computer based test called Measures of Academic Progress or MAP. The results each year on the MAP scores from third - eleventh grade are a measure of the district’s curriculum and instructional alignment to the Kansas College and Career Readiness Standards (KCCRS). The KCCRS are Kansas’ version of the Common Core State Standards. The school has also found a strong correlation between MAP and the ACT summative assessments (EXPLORE and PLAN). Mark Crawford spoke about student safety in crosswalks. The district appreciates the patrolling and awareness that Chief Courtney Leslie and her officers bring to the city. Because of their vigilance, the staff and parent
Olinger, a Hugoton native. There was a big celebration going on at a movie theater in Liberal. Edna couldn’t remember the name of the movie, but there were some movie stars attending the event. She and her friends dressed up in long dresses and bonnets, and that was the evening she and Charles met. About four months later, they were married. Edna was 26 and Charles was 31. They had four sons — John, Jim, Alfred and Robert. One of the things they enjoyed doing as a family was going to Colorado to camp and fish. Charles farmed and had an income tax service. He and Edna worked together in his income tax business for thirty-one years, and she also helped him with the farming by running errands. Edna has out-lived all her siblings. Certainly this can be partially attributed to a selfdetermination that she showed so long ago when she chose to believe in herself.
achieved last week with some basic KCCRS skills. Many grade levels showed 90-100% on the test. It is safe to say, these skills from the KCCRS are indeed age appropriate. Mrs. Boxum, Primary School Principal, discussed the elementary’s first staff meeting with teachers which took place last week. She informed the board of the target scores for the first and second grade students. Mark Newton, Intermediate School Principal, informed the board of early release Wednesday, September 18 at 1:35 p.m. He said Southwest Plains would be training on AIMS web. Lance Custer, Middle School Principal, talked about schedule changes and reported all MAP data is finished. He talked about “HMS Your key to success” with the first objective being responsibility. Clint Merritt gave principal Gregg Errebo’s report. He talked about Hugoton hosting the volleyball tournament last week. Hugoton girls placed second. They lost to Cimarron in finals. There is a large Liberal tournament this week. Merritt also talked about the high school football team winning their first home game against Holcomb. He also informed the board the cross country boys placed eighth at Wamego. Hugoton will host the cross country meet this Saturday starting at 9:00 a.m. Jan Kilbourne, HLA Principal, told the board the school has over 50 students with 48 working for diploma and English. Of the 50 there are about 28 students school age and some of the students are from out of district. There was some discussion about the District budget and long-term planning and the High Plains Educational Cooperative (HPEC) report.
The board approved the District goals for student achievement. Similar goals were BOE approved this time last year. These aggregate student scores were derived from four years of previous data. The BOE and administration monitors the growth on these goals. Elise Heger will update the BOE every spring about grade level progress/ growth on these goals. For now these are just MAP goals in math and ELA. In science the school is using MAP, EXPLORE and PLAN. The district truly wants all the students to be college and career ready and these scores constitute an important part of their district dashboard. The one year contract for Superintendent Mark Crawford was approved. The board approved the long distance and out of state field trips for the 2013-2014 school year. The revised HHS student handbook was approved. There were only two changes to this handbook. One is the criteria for the Val and Sal is separated for the classes of 2014 and 2015 and the newest criteria for the class of 2016, and beyond. In addition, the verbiage for early graduation has slightly changed. This change involves a window of time for students to submit their request. The board approved the motion to let bids for wireless internet upgrades for Hugoton Elementary School. The current HES wi-fi is very slow. The district has purchased a lot of IT devices with grant monies that require wi-fi. The main devices are iPads. The district has over 100 iPads and laptops in the building. The meeting was adjourned.

Moran Continued from page 1 suddenly facing substantial Medicare cuts and severe financial challenges. These hospitals comprise a significant component of Kansas’ health care safety net, and are essential to the survival and success of many Kansas communities.” “The CAH program was created to address and strengthen the unique challenges rural health care providers face,” Senator Moran continued. “It is vital that Kansans, health care providers and community leaders make this case to their elected officials in Washington to oppose any effort to enact these flawed proposals into law.” The Senate Appropriations Health Subcommittee has jurisdiction over funding for most agencies within HHS that impacts hospitals and other health care providers, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

awareness the school feels their streets and crossings are safer. Ultimately, students and motorists have to make good decisions. Thank you, parents and patrons, for being attentive to all our pedestrians. Also, he spoke about the ultra, right-wing, tea party assault on the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards (KCCRS). Every month parents and educators are speaking in support of these new standards in Topeka, but also parents from other circles are speaking to the State BOE denouncing the KCCRS, derived from the Common Core State Standards. The State BOE, including Sally Cauble, are firm in their support for the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards; however, now some ultra right-wing Legislators are joining forces. Most of what these anti-KCCRS parents are saying is simply misinformation. Sadly the elected officials are believing it. They are calling the standards Obamacore. They say it is a loss of local control and the standards are age inappropriate. Irrational and wildly inaccurate internet articles are being circulated describing the standards as promoting pornography, requiring schools to collect religious and political affiliation and even requiring students to submit blood samples. This is all grossly inaccurate. The teachers at USD 210 feel like they have more local control. They are spending time with their grade level and subject area peers from Hugoton, and developing their own units of study. Nothing is included in the units, unless the teachers place the content and the skill focus into their own curriculum. Primary principal Tiffany Boxum enthusiastically reported the great performance the first through third graders
is the division of HHS responsible for administering Medicare and Medicaid. During subcommittee budget hearings the past two years, Senator Moran has discussed with HHS Secretary Sebelius his concerns with policies the Administration has proposed that would disproportionately affect Kansas and other rural states by threatening the survival of many rural hospitals. In addition, Senator Moran included language in the Senate FY2014 Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations bill to encourage CMS to work with the HHS’ Office of Rural Health Policy on this issue to make certain rural patients maintain access to necessary health services. The Administration’s FY2014 budget proposal seeks to cut Medicare reimbursements for all CAHs and completely eliminate the enhanced reimbursement many of these
facilities receive for caring for an increasingly aging patient population across a wide area. Unfortunately, this OIG report follows the same faulty analysis based on technical mileage requirements, rather than focusing on the needs of individual rural communities. Senator Moran, along with 19 of his Senate colleagues, also recently contacted the Senate Finance Committee to express support for the CAH program, as well as concerns with the effects of the Administration’s budget proposals and the OIG report. During Senator Moran’s time in Congress, he has visited every community hospital in Kansas. The visits are extremely useful because they give him the opportunity to talk with Kansas health care providers and learn more about how they care for the residents of their communities.

Friday the thirteenth ends well for Eagles Friday the thirteenth didn't bring the Eagles any bad luck when they took on the Holcomb Longhorns at Hugoton's home field. The Eagles played a great first half scoring 14 points while holding the Longhorns to seven points. Both teams lost some momentum in the third quarter and weren’t able to score. Hugoton returned in the fourth quarter, adding one last touchdown to take the win 20 to 7. The first quarter began with the Longhorns receiving the ball on their 15 yard line. Holcomb drove 35 yards before punting the ball back to the Eagles. Yates Sutton took the team down field only to give the ball back after not being able to score. It wasn’t until one minute remained in the quarter that Hugoton scored the first touchdown. Sutton was not able to pass to any of his receivers and was forced to run 53 yards to score for the Eagles. Michael Baeza received a short pass
from Yates to add the two point conversion. The first quarter ended with the Eagles in the lead 8 to 0. Holcomb started the second quarter receiving the ball. Again the game seesawed back and forth until a little over three minutes remain in the first half. Sutton added another touchdown on an 80-yard run bringing the Eagles to 14. In the final two minutes of the game, Holcomb was able to add their only touchdown and extra point kick. The third quarter saw the ball moving back and forth but neither team was able to get the ball into the end zone. Hugoton received the ball on the second half kickoff but lost control of the ball after Hugoton fumbled the ball and the Longhorns were able to recover it. With two minutes remaining in the quarter, Holcomb intercepted a pass, keeping the Eagles out of the end zone. The final quarter began

As time ticked down the Eagles needed a big play to end this game on a positive note. That moment came when Kellen Watkins intercepted a pass by Holcomb and ran the ball to Holcomb’s four-yard line before being brought down. On a quarterback keeper, Sutton ran the last four yards to score Hugoton’s third touchdown. A two-point conversion was attempted but was not successful. A few minutes later the game ended with the Eagles victorious. Five Eagles carried the ball for a total of 45 carries and a total yardage of 266. However, Hugoton had five penalties for a loss of 50 yards and three fumbles resulting in one loss of possession. Holcomb had 75 yards with only six yards rushing and 69
yards coming from passes. The Longhorns suffered from 12 penalties and 65 yards lost. Quarterback Yates Sutton carried the ball 16 times for 149 yards, followed by Ross Davis who carried the ball seven times and added 54 yards rushing. Mitchell Persinger carried the ball 14 times and added 31 yards, Michael Baeza carried the ball five times for 24 yards and Kellen Watkins carried the ball three times for eight yards. Bernie Mendoza kicked off four times for the Eagles for 152 yards and Persinger punted four times for 123 yards. Ulises Armendariz returned one kick off gaining 32 yards before being brought down. The Eagles will travel to Guymon, Ok., this Friday night for another exciting night of Eagle football.

Eighth grade puts together 50-0 victory The Hugoton Middle School eighth grade traveled to Garden City’s Kenneth Henderson to play football Thursday, September 12. It was a wet damp day, however it was a perfect day for football. The eighth grade game started with Hugoton receiving the opening kickoff. It only took the Eagles two plays to go 58 yards for the score on a big Mitchell Hamlin 53 yard TD run. The two point try was no good, making the score 6-0 Hugoton. Most impressive for the day was the Hugoton defense, as it was stifling all day long; rarely, if ever, allowing any yardage and only one first down the entire first half. Kenneth Henderson took over, going three and out. After a nice kick return by Nathan Leininger, the Eagles set up shop on the KH 48 yard line. The Eagles marched seven plays and scored on a 25 yard Nick Mahan run, the two-point conversion by Baeza was good, making the score 14-0. KH then went three and out, punting to the Eagles, where they took over on the 49 yard line. Penalties and
sloppy play moved the Eagles back to their own 30 yard line, while they were able to march back into KH territory. Hugoton lost the ball on a fumble, and that ended the first quarter. Holding KH to a three and out, Hugoton marched down and scored on the following possession making it 20-0. After another three and out, Hugoton put together a five play drive ending with a Marcos Baeza TD, the two point by Hamlin was good, making the score at the half 28-0. KH got the ball to start the second half, but it was situation normal, as Coach Gillen's defense picked up where it left off, not allowing anything but punts. There were even two great interceptions by Bradan Slemp and Azarael Rodriguez. The Eagles then scored three more times in the second half making the final score 50-0. The Eagles ended the day with a solid 366 yards on the ground. Nick Mahan ran six times for 105 yards, Marcos Baeza chipped away with 14 carries for 76 yards, Mitchell

Sports by Reece McDaniels
Hamlin ran five times for 112 yards, and Nathan Leininger ran four times for 28 yards. Coach Schechter commented, “While the final score did show that we scored a lot of points, it was obvious to us coaches that our defense carried the day. We really got off the ball and hit tonight, and made sound fundamental tackles. Offensively, we have a lot of kinks to work out, we
must get crisper and more efficient as the weeks go on. We also need to clean up our penalties, seven for 35 yards is to many for one game. But, all and all it was a good effort and one to be proud of.” The Eagles get another chance this week to play a very good football team in Liberal West. That game will be home beginning at 4:00 p.m. September 19.

Mary Weaver is high point again at Goodland The Hugoton High School girls golf team participated in the Goodland meet Tuesday, September 10. “Again our high point belongs to Mary Weaver who again played exceptional golf and played herself onto a tie for second place with a 60. After a tiebreaker she ended up taking home the third place JV medal. Mary took a tough course and played it to the best of her abilities and it paid off,” said Coach Rex Evans. Bailey Haynes was the low varsity scorer with a 113 and Courtney Ferguson followed close behind with a 117. “On a day when less than ten golfers shot under 100, I was very pleased with their scores. Take a few mistakes away and both these seniors could have shot ten strokes less, maybe even 12”, said
Coach Evans. Gabby Rawlins played a superb front before stumbling a bit in the heat and finishing with a 124. “Big things coming for this sophomore, I can feel it,” stated Coach Evans. Alyson Kiley shot a 157 but had a highlight on the par 3 second hole. Her tee shot was directly at the hole stopping on the green seven feet from a hole in one. “She took par on the hole, which was good as I had seen golfers put up scores of 8 on that same hole earlier in the day, said Coach Evans. “Abby Crawford told me at the beginning of the round she set a goal of 140. She shot a 141, so proud of her work ethic and for setting goals to achieve,” concluded Coach Evans.

Birding opportunities plentiful during fall migration Every year, hundreds of bird species fly south through Kansas during the fall migration, creating many unique birding opportunities throughout the state. Hummingbirds, shorebirds, waterfowl, and neotropical migrants such as warblers, flycatchers and orioles, are just a few of the birds residents can expect to encounter during this special period. “Morning is the best time to go out since birds tend to be more active in the cooler parts of the day,” said Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism wildlife education coordinator Mike Rader.
April showers might bring May flowers, but fall brings neotropical migrants. “However, sometimes activity will pick up in late afternoon just before birds go to roost, too.” An avid birder himself, Rader suggests some of the best birding hotspots can be in your own backyard.
“Neotropical migrants can be sought in any decent woodland habitat across the state, but some of the most reliable spots each year actually include park areas in Wichita, Topeka, Lawrence, and Johnson County,” said Rader. “Fall
migration is also a great time to check out the corners of our state, with many western species found along the western tier of counties from border to border, but especially around the Elkhart/Cimarron Grasslands region of extreme southwest Kansas.” Rader added the Southeast Kansas Nature Center in extreme southeast Kansas near Galena is also an excellent location to bird watch. For information about where to bird watch in Kansas, including tools for identifying species, visit the Kansas Ornithological Society’s Web site at ksbirds.org.

laws and ethics, trapping equipment, trap sets for a variety of furbearers, fur handling and more. Anyone born on or after July 1, 1966 must complete a certified furharvester education course before trapping on land other than their own. An online furharvester education course is available at www.ksoutdoors.com under Furharvester Education, but students will learn much more in an outdoor classroom with experienced instructors. “Furharvesting is probably the most intimate outdoor activity you can take part in when it comes to wildlife because you have to know a lot about the habits and habitats
of the animals you are trying to catch to be successful,” said Mined Land Wildlife Area manager David Jenkins. “It’s an important part of our American heritage that we should pass on to the next generation.” To sign-up for the workshop, contact Jenkins at 620231-3173. The workshop is free and lunch will be provided.
A furharvester education course exam will be given to those who are not certified. For more information on furharvesting regulations, get a copy of the 2013 Kansas Hunting and Furharvesting Summary. For more information on trapping and furharvesting education, go to www.ksoutdoors. com.

United States Senators Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran last week called on U.S. Secretary of the Department of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to extend emergency grazing of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) lands to help livestock producers hit hard by lingering and intensifying drought. The following is the text of the letter sent recently to Secretary Vilsack: Dear Mr. Secretary: Thank you for your continued commitment to provide every USDA resource to help producers and communities deal with the devastating effects of ongoing drought. While many parts of the country and Kansas have received much-needed rainfall, areas of Western Kansas continue to suffer from multiple years of severe drought. July 11, you received a letter asking for the swift and unrestricted release of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres for emergency haying and grazing. July 16, the Kansas State Farm Service Agency (FSA) Committee, FSA Executive Director Adrian Polansky, and the State Technical Committee released CRP acreage for haying and grazing. Due to the lingering, and in some cases intensifying, drought, we ask you again to swiftly authorize actions to allow livestock producers to effectively respond to drought conditions.
In order to assist producers, last year August 29, 2012, you announced that USDA would permit farmers and ranchers in drought stricken states that have been approved for emergency grazing to extend grazing on CRP land through November 30, 2012, without incurring an additional CRP rental payment reduction. These actions a year ago significantly helped livestock producers and we ask that you authorize a similar extension of emergency grazing through November 30, 2013. Extending producers’ ability to utilize CRP acreage will allow producers to better prepare for this winter’s forage needs. USDA agencies and personnel have forged a partnership with farmers, ranchers, local communities and state government agencies to utilize every available resource and program authority for survival and sustainability until weather patterns improve. Without adequate forage, the Kansas cattle industry, which generates more than $7 billion in cash receipts annually, will be negatively impacted as producers will be forced to sell their cattle. Irreplaceable genetics and traits bred for generations could be lost in the open market, jeopardizing our state’s leading industry. Submitted by the Office of Senator Jerry Moran.
Kansas farmers can lend a helping hand to grow their communities Thanks to famers across Kansas, $1,030,000 has been invested in rural communities throughout the state. Back for the fourth consecutive year, America’s Farmers Grow Communities, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, will be giving farmers the opportunity to win a $2,500 donation for their favorite, local nonprofit organization. • FFA chapters across the state have received a total of $112,500 in Grow Communities donations. • Farmers helped put out fires by donating $150,000 to fireand health-related organizations. • Service organizations, like
food pantries, have received $150,000. • Grow Communities has donated $230,000 to education organizations. • Community improvement organizations have received $207,500 through Grow Communities. • Many farmers chose to give back to their local 4-H clubs. A total of $165,000 has been donated to 4-H clubs across the state. Farmers and rural community members can now visit GrowCommunities.com or call 1-877-267-3332 and register to win or submit an idea for a nonprofit in need of funding.

“Notes From Nancy” by Stevens County FACS Agent Nancy Honig
Focus on Healthy Carbohydrates It seems like we can’t make up our minds when it comes to what is, or isn’t, good for us to eat. In the ‘80s and ‘90s it was all about low-fat diets being best for us. Then the Atkins craze influenced a great number of people to choose low-carbohydrate, high protein meals. Today it seems to be the push to focus on carbohydrates, and what kind and how much we are eating. Are all of these trends poor choices? Or is it simply the more we learn about nutrition, the more we find out we didn’t know? Fran Alloway is a Penn State Extension Nutrition Educator and registered dietitian who recently published an article that does an excellent job explaining what a carbohydrate is and how it works. Alloway describes carbohydrates as one of the three nutrients contributing calories to our food. Along with protein and fat, they fuel our bodies for physical and mental activity, as well as basal metabolism — which is needed just to exist. Carbohydrates are found in four of the five food groups: grain, fruit, vegetable and dairy. Only meat, poultry, fish and oils do not contain carbohydrates. For most of us, more than half of our calories come from carbohydrates each day. The 45 to 65 percent of calories consumed recommended by USDA is 900 1,300 calories (250 - 350 gm) each day. That is based on a 2,000 calorie daily intake. Classes of carbohydrates include sugars, starches, and fiber. All are composed of glucose. Table sugar contains two molecule chains, whereas, starches and fiber can be hundreds of molecules chains. For this reason, sugars, whether simple sugars or fruit sugars, are absorbed quickly by the body. Starches, especially those with fiber, such as whole grain foods, take much longer to be absorbed. The fiber in food is not absorbed, and absorbs dietary cholesterol, contributes to vitamin K manufacture in the gut, provides a feeling of fullness and keeps our dinner remains moving to prevent constipation. So, are there good and bad carbohydrates? Many scientific sources are studying the increased amount of sugar and corn syrup in our foods today. The average person in the United States has increased his sugar intake in the last 30 years from 11 per-
cent of daily calories to 16 percent. USDA translated this into about 80 pounds of sugar per year, or 21.4 teaspoons a day. This does not include fruit juices or sugar in whole foods. The USDA 2010 Dietary Guideline for Americans recommends we limit added sugars. In layman’s terms, these would be desserts, pastries, sugar sweetened beverages, candies and foods with sweetened glazes or sauces (think sweet potatoes with brown sugar and marshmallows). Many nutritionists call these “occasional” foods — foods to enjoy for special occasions, but not every day. While not exactly “bad” carbohydrates, they would not be on the list of healtful eating, diabetic or low carbohydrate choices. Some of these carbohydraterich foods can still be enjoyed by using sugar substitutes that replace the sugars and often the calories. The Dietary Guideline also recommends at least half of all the grains consumed be whole grain foods. In the “good” category of carbohydrates would be vegetables and fruits, whole grain breads and cereals, and lowfat or skim milk and dairy products, all without added sugars. A growing number of people are being diagnosed with pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, or glucose intolerance. While controlling carbohydrate intake is essential for these conditions, would the rest of us benefit from eating fewer carbohydrates? Yes, and no. Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables, whole grains and low fat dairy — the “everyday” carbohydrates — and decrease your sugars — the “occasional” carbs. Carbohydrates are an essential nutrient in the diet. Limiting their intake is not required for good health. Just make beneficial carbohydrate choices.

Black Hills responds to foul stench calls Black Hills Energy employees in Liberal responded to more than 175 suspected natural gas leak calls from customers after a mechanical failure caused an excess amount of harmless gas odorant to be released into the gas distribution system. Natural gas at its source is odorless, so large-volume suppliers and utilities, including Black Hills Energy, inject the gas with mercaptan, a harmless chemical commonly said to smell like rotten eggs. The stench can be the first alert to a potentially dangerous natural gas leak. “Safety is our first priority, no matter what,” said Ronnie Sumner, an operations supervisor for the Liberal area. “Even though we knew all those calls were probably generated by the odorant, not a natural gas leak, we immediately responded to every call.” Eighteen Black Hills Energy employees, some from other Black Hills’ offices, blanketed the area into the night to make sure there were no actual safety issues. “We thank all of our employees for the time and effort they put into responding to each and every call,” Sumner said. “We require a full leak investigation at the source of each call, which can take up to 45 minutes per location. Our ability to recruit employees from other locations allows us to respond to issues of any scale.” Sumner said no one should ever hesitate to report a suspected gas leak. “Natural gas is a safe, dependable energy source, but incidents can occur.
If you suspect a leak, get everyone out of the building or the area immediately. Call 911 or the Black Hills emergency number, 800-694-8989, from another location. Indoors, don’t use phones, touch light switches, open or close windows and doors, or turn any electronics on or off. Any of those acts can cause static electricity, which can ignite leaking gas.” Most gas leaks are caused by a customer’s faulty equipment, or result from someone striking a line while digging. As a friendly reminder, at least two days before you plan to disturb the soil, always Call Before You Dig by calling 811 toll-free to reach your state’s line locating service. A technician will come to the site and mark all underground pipes and wires at no charge before you start your project. It’s free, it’s safe, and it’s the law. Black Hills Energy serves 110,000 natural gas customers in 62 Kansas communities and is a subsidiary of Black Hills Corp., a growth oriented, vertically integrated energy company with a tradition of exemplary service and a vision to be the energy partner of choice. Black Hills Corp. is based in Rapid City, S.D. It serves 769,000 natural gas and electric utility customers in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming, and its non-regulated businesses generate wholesale electricity and produce natural gas, oil and coal.

SAFETY SIGN-UP Please remind your children to sign up if they are in the library unaccompanied by an adult. Our policy for unaccompanied children is as follows: All children seven (7) years of age or younger or one with special needs relating to physical and mental ability will, at all times, be attended and adequately supervised by a responsible adult, babysitter or mature adolescent sixteen (16) years of age or older. Children ages eight to 15 should not be expected by a parent or guardian to supervise younger siblings. Children eight (8) years of age and older may use the library unattended providing proper behavior is maintained. NATIONAL LIBRARY CARD SIGNUP MONTH September is Library Card Sign-up Month — a time when the American Library Association and libraries across the country remind parents that a library card is the most important school supply of all. The observance was launched in 1987 to meet the challenge of then-Secretary of Education William J. Bennett who said: “Let’s have a national campaign...every child should obtain a library card — and use it.” Since then, thousands of public and school libraries join each fall in a national effort to ensure every child does just that. Library cards are free. Limited borrowing privileges are
Thursday, September 19, 2013
granted on the spot. The SCL requires a photo ID and signature for a library card. Libraries play an important role in the education and development of children. Studies show children who are read to in the home and who use the library perform better in school and are more likely to continue to use the library as a source of lifetime learning. TEMPORARY LIBRARY HOURS Until further notice, the library will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday and closed Sunday. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. SUMMER READING TSHIRTS AND YARD SIGNS We have a few summer reading t-shirts and yard signs left over from this summer’s reading program. You may purchase a t-shirt (while they last). The yard signs are free to anyone who would like to have one. CLICK FOR BABIES Knit or crochet to prevent infant abuse. Drop off your completed purple baby caps at the library and we’ll send them in! Contact the library for additional details.

land at home Friday, October 18 High School Football at Ingalls Friday, October 25 High School Football vs Bucklin at home Friday, October 31 High School Football at Moscow
Jada Maravilla and Jaron Rusch were crowned homecoming royalty for the 2013 Football Homecoming at Rolla High School. The evening was certainly different for the homecoming festivities. The football field was under water from all the rain, so the game took place on the practice field at the track. Because there were no lights, the game began at 5:00 p.m. Then, the coronation ceremony was in
the gymnasium following the game. Despite the weather, the Rolla High football team improved its record to 2-0 by defeating Deerfield 24-12. Queen Jada Maravilla is the daughter of Ada Guererro and Ruben Maravilla, and Jaron is the son of Penny Rusch and Jon Rusch. The queen’s court were Denae Sullivan, daughter of Mike Sullivan and Janet Sullivan; Mallory Hoyt, daughter of
April Hoyt; Kyri Brummett, daughter of Karrick and Phoebe Brummett; and Mica Ratzlaff, daughter of Wade and Brenda Ratzlaff. Those attending King Jaron were Kyler Telford, son of TJ and
Clint Hull; Colten Clemans, son of Heath and Lisa Clemans; Chance Toole, son of Melody and Scott Ellis and James Toole; and Ty Dixon, son of Lloyd and Kris Dixon, and Steve and Danita Adams.
