October 5 is Energy Efficiency Day Monday, Governor Jeff Colyer signed a proclamation designating October 5 as Kansas Energy Efficiency Day. In observance, the public is invited to attend an Energy Efficiency Expo on the south lawn of the Kansas Statehouse from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Friday to learn more about the benefits of energy efficiency. Here are a few quick and easy tips for all Kansans to start saving energy today: • By switching five of your home’s most frequently used bulbs with ENERGY STAR® certified LEDs, it’s possible to save $75 on energy costs annually. • Take simple steps like caulking windows, sealing leaks around chimneys and recessed lighting, and sliding draft guards under your doors to save up to 20% on heating costs. • Make sure to clean or change your furnace fil-
ters regularly. A dirty furnace filter will slow down airflow, making the system work harder to keep you warm (or cool) and costing you more money. • Open curtains/shade on your west-and southfacing windows during the day this winter to allow sunlight to naturally heat your home, and save two to twelve percent. • Install a programmable thermostat to heat and cool more efficiently when you are away or asleep. Follow the U.S. Department of Energy recommended temperatures for year round efficiency. On a national level, Energy Efficiency Day debuted in 2016 as a collaborative effort between government agencies, businesses, utilities, and individuals working to promote energy efficiency and cut consumer costs.

Proceeds from dinner will benefit Jimenez family Stevens County is a community that takes care of its residents! This is made obvious by the number of people who turn out for benefit dinners to support the financial challenges of those in need. Sunday, October 7 is another such opportunity. A benefit dinner is planned to help the Jimenez family with bills and expenses after the loss of husband and father, Chon Jimenez. Maria, the bookkeeper at the Hugoton Elementary School, and Luis, a senior at Moscow High School, were devastated hearing the news their loved one passed away in a tragic car accident August 19. Though nothing can fix a broken heart, the Stevens County community can come together again to help this family move forward without the burden of financial struggles. Please come out and support this wonderful family Sunday, October 7 at the Hugoton Middle / High School Link Cafeteria. A free will offering will be taken for a scrumptious lunch of meatballs, cheesy potatoes, green beans and dessert served from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Many fun and amazing baskets have been donated for a silent auction. It will be the feelgood event of the week! Submitted by Susan Ellsaesser.
The Stevens County Board of County Commissioners met in regular session Monday, October 1 with Joe D. Thompson and Pat Hall present. Tron Stegman was absent. Also present were County Attorney Paul Kitzke, County Clerk Amy Jo Tharp and RoGlenda Coulter from The Hugoton Hermes. Commissioners had a light schedule for the morning: Bills - 8:30; Marilyn Harris - 9:00; Tony Martin - 9:30; Paula Rowden - 9:45; Vernon Anderson - 10:00; and lunch at noon. The Commissioners were visiting with Robert Lucero and Rex Evans when this reporter arrived. Rex is taking Robert’s place as Courthouse Facilities Supervisor. Robert was going to show Rex the different things Rex will now be responsible for. Marilyn Harris is taking on the job of Memorial Hall Kitchen Housekeeper. She will be in charge of taking care of the kitchen following events when the kitchen is used. She will be picking up a schedule each week/month in the courthouse. Motion was made and passed to pay the bills. Commissioners were ahead of schedule so Vernon Anderson went early. He visited with the Commissioners about the permits needed for KDI for their future lagoon. They talked about how clean the KDI waste water is. It is tested continually.
Stevens County Sheriff Ted Heaton checks in at each Commissioners meeting. From left to right are Paul Kitzke, Pat Hall, Joe D. Tompson, Amy Jo Tharp and Sheriff Ted Heaton.
KDI will definitely have to have permits to cross any county roads. Otherwise KDHE already has them do nearly all the permits necessary. Tony Martin reported for Road and Bridge. He said the road they have been building is finished now. He gave the Commissioners the estimated costs, and commissioners asked Tony to make sure the proper forms are filled out and followed by KDI for crossing any county roads. The crew from Aqua Shield came in to talk to the Commissioners about the roof on the fire station. The Commissioners will need to be taking bids for this work as soon as possible before cold weather sets in. Specs will be made available and an ad put in the paper this week. Sheriff Ted Heaton checked in. He gave some updates about cases he is working on, but has no public information available yet. He promised details later for The Hermes. Paula Rowden came in with an update on the Health Department. She

reports a higher revenue for the department, and mentioned some future grant opportunities. One of these grants could potentially help the Health Department offer drug and alcohol programs at the school. The subject changed to vaccinations and the recent meningitis scare at the school. Paula said the majority of students are vaccinated properly before starting school. The claim that vaccinations could cause autism is completely fraudulent. She said the internet has made it very easy for false information to be passed off by people claiming to be authorities. Mrs. Rowden asked for the Commissioners to some of the fund expenses from a recently attended WIC conference. They gave their approval. They talked about the new time system with Paula and how to get it working better. Commissioners visited about what appraisal company to use, as well as the coroner situation. Meeting adjourned.

Insight Travel out to the fields of Kansas during October and you’ll see them teeming with fall harvest. Combines chomp through the fields of corn, milo, soybeans and sunflowers eager to dump the bountiful crops into waiting trucks and grain carts. Today’s green, red and silver monsters move through the fields with the urgency of tanks rolling through a war game. Across Kansas, farmers pilot these 12-ton behemoths as easily as the family car. On gravel and blacktop roads tandem trucks and semis race back from the elevators so the machines can fill them up again. Fall harvest in Kansas marks that magical time of the year when producers of food and fiber reap what they have sown. Seeing this bountiful production unfold, underscores the importance of farming and ranching in Kansas. Our Kansas farmers – and their contemporaries across this great land – continually risk all that is theirs; hoping success is what each harvest and year will bring. They work with the land,
Harvest happenings chemicals, computers and livestock. They must understand markets, people, soil crops and climate. Their livelihood is largely dependent upon factors, especially weather, that are oftentimes completely out of their control. Still, farmers farm to succeed. They farm to grow and harvest crops and produce livestock. Farmers see their vocation not only as a business, but also as a way of life to preserve in good times and bad. They have their feet planted firmly in their soil. They are dedicated to the land and providing us with the safest, most wholesome food on the planet. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates the average person consumes approximately 10 pounds or 160 bowls of cereal annually. When you couple that with approximately 22 pounds of red meat and poultry, it’s clear why Kansas harvest is an important time. Today’s consumer has the option of using nearly 3,500 different corn products. These uses range from corn flakes to corn sweeteners. Corn and milo remain the top
Former Hugoton resident Monty Pate passed away Monday, September 24, 2018 in Springfield, Mo. He was 62. Monty was born May 7, 1956 to Lyle and Fern Pate also of Hugoton.

source of livestock feed. Countless foods are made from today’s fall soybean crop. Some of these include crackers, cooking oils, salad dressings, sandwich spreads and shortenings. Soybeans are used extensively to feed livestock, poultry and fish. Sunflowers from the Sunflower State can be used as an ingredient in everything from cooking to cosmetics and biodiesel cars. And as you probably already know, they’re a tasty snack – and healthy too. So, if you have an opportunity to visit our state’s fertile fields this fall, think about the professionals who are busy providing the food we find on our tables each day. Tip your hat, raise an index finger above the steering wheel of your car or give a friendly wave to these producers of food and fiber who are dedicated to feeding you and the rest of the world.

Insurance Matters By Commissioner of Insurance Ken Selzer As we enter the last quarter of 2018, Kansans have been fortunate to have the statewide estimated non-flood storm damages for the year be at the lowest level in the past ten years. With low storm damage estimates come the correspondingly low number of claims filed. We always appreciate the calm associated with a lessthan-normal severe weather year. But it is unwise to think this year begins a new normal for severe weather activity. The statistics say we will once again, at some future point, be faced with storm damage losses more typical of those caused by Kansas weather events. It is still wise to make sure you know how to maneuver the claims process successfully when the need arises. With a little preparation, resolving a claim with your insurance company does not have to be a frustrating, time-consuming process. Being prepared with and keeping track of the information your insurance company needs to process the claim is critical. What you do before making the claim will help in reducing the time between the insurance incident and the resolution of your problem. Kansans should consider the following ideas to assist with the claims process. • Know your policy. Understand what your policy says. Because it is a contract between you and your insurance company, you need to know what is covered, what is not and what
your out-of-pocket costs are. • File claims as soon as possible. Call your agent or your company’s claims hotline as soon as possible. Your policy might require that you make the notification within a certain time frame. • Provide complete,correct information. Be certain to give your insurance company all the necessary information. If your information is incorrect or incomplete, your claim could be delayed. • Keep copies of all communications. Whenever you communicate with your insurance company, be sure to document the communications. With phone calls, include the date, name and title of the person you spoke with and what was said. • Ask questions. If there is a disagreement about the claim settlement, ask the company for the specific language in your policy that is in question. Find out if the disagreement is because you interpret the policy differently. If your claim is denied, make sure you have a letter from the company explaining the reason for the denial - including the specific policy language that caused the denial. • Don’t rush into a settlement. If the first offer your insurance company makes does not meet your expectations, talk with your local insurance agent or seek other professional advice. • Document auto/homeowners temporary repairs.Auto and homeowners policies might require you to make temporary repairs to protect your property from further damage. Docu-
ment any damaged personal property for an adjuster to inspect. If possible, take photographs or videotape the damage before making the repairs. Your policy should cover the cost of these temporary repairs, so keep all receipts. • Don’t make permanent repairs. A company might deny a claim if you make permanent repairs before the damage is inspected. If possible, determine what it will cost to repair your property before you meet with an adjuster. Provide the adjuster any records of improvements you made to the property, and ask him/her for an itemized explanation of the claim settlement offer. • Seek accident and health claims details.Ask your medical provider to give your insurance company details about your treatment, condition and prognosis. If you suspect your provider is overcharging, ask the insurance company to audit the bill, and verify whether the provider used the proper billing procedure. • Contact the Kansas Insurance Department (KID). If you continue to have a dispute with your insurance company about the terms of the claims settlement, contact the KID Consumer Assistance Hotline at 1-800-432-2484, or go to the Web site, www.ksinsurance.org, to use the Chat feature to make contact with one of our Consumer Assistance Representatives. Remember, you can get a claim resolved quicker if you have the consumer know-how to fast track the process.

Important financial aid tips for those seeking student aid
One important phrase in the language of student aid is satisfactory academic progress, or SAP, according to KHEAA. All colleges that award federal student aid must have SAP standards. Those standards are based on three key areas: your GPA, your pace and a maximum timeframe. The GPA you’re required to have may vary by school, major and whether you’re an undergraduate or graduate student. Your pace means you have to pass a stated percentage of the classes you take in a given period of time. It may also vary by college. The maximum timeframe means you’ll have to finish your degree within a given number of attempted credit hours. For example, your school requires you to pass 120 credit hours to earn a bachelor’s degree. The maxi-
mum timeframe might be that you have to pass those 120 hours without attempting more than 150 hours. The catch is: if you don’t meet your school’s SAP standards, you may not be able to receive state or federal student aid. Make sure you know what your college’s standards are before you get in trouble. KHEAA is a public, non-profit agency established in 1966 to improve students’ access to college. It provides information about financial aid and financial literacy at no cost to students and parents. KHEAA also helps colleges manage their student loan default rates and verify information submitted on the FAFSA. For more information about those services, visit www.kheaa.com. In addition, KHEAA disburses private Advantage Education Loans for its sister agency, KHESLC. For more information about Advantage Education Loans, visit advantageeducationloan.com.

Rolla History from David Stout
Last week I described the scene after one particular revival service as we were slowly making our way out of the sanctuary of the old original Methodist Church in Rolla. When I was about halfway out, Reverend Carrier approached me from behind, put his arm on my shoulder and said, “David, I’d like for you to have this,” as he handed me a KJV Bible. I took it with my left hand, now somewhat back under my own control. He continued, “And I’d like for you to seriously think about entering the ministry yourself. You’re a mighty fine speaker. I think you’d make a fine addition to our ranks.” Reverend Carrier’s suggestion didn’t come out of nowhere. He was reaching back into the year earlier when I’d served as the president of the junior class at Rolla High School. As presi-
Seeking Refuge
‘When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God. - Leviticus 19:33-34 NASB
A
ccording to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, there were more than 22 million refugees in 2016, the highest number on record. 2017 may turn out to be even worse: according to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center, some 12 million people fled from violence and almost 19 million were displaced by catastrophic weather events or natural disasters in 2017 but managed to stay in their own countries. How should decent people respond to these unfortunate people seeking refuge? As individuals, there are limits to what we can do, but shouldn’t a civilized society try to help them? As a large and wealthy country, we can and probably should do more to help the relatively small number of refugees at our borders, whereas the huge number of refugees coming from the MidEast and from Africa present an overwhelming problem in Europe. Despite what politicians and demagogues may say about this issue, the Bible is clear on this issue. There are numerous passages telling us to care for and show kindness to the refugee or foreigner: Leviticus 19:9-10 and 19:33-34, Deuteronomy 10:18-19, Exodus 23:9 and Malachi 3:5 are just a few of many verses encouraging us to help the foreigner and the poor and not to oppress them, reminding us that we were all once foreigners ourselves.

dent of the junior class, I was the master of ceremonies at the junior-senior banquet at the end of the year – and Reverend Carrier was our invited guest speaker, sitting beside me at the head table. I gave my welcoming speech first, and Reverend Carrier followed, commenting to everyone I’d just given a very creative speech about bubblegum, and he thought I ought to think about preaching as a vocation.1 So here we were, just over a year later, he returning to that same subject while handing me a Bible, suggesting once again I consider entering the ministry. I clutched the Bible in my hand, grabbed Reverend Carrier around the neck with my other hand, started sobbing again, and laid my head on his shoulder. He said to me, “Let’s go back down front.” He then led me back to the front, this time to

nothing more. Eventually, I composed myself enough to leave the sanctuary and went outside to sit on the front steps of the church. Several people were milling around, chatting, but Loren sat beside me helping me regain my composure. The fresh country air helped as well. It had been awfully hot inside the old non-airconditioned little country church, cooled primarily by the nearly still September air just barely drifting from the open windows on the south side of the sanctuary to the open windows on the north side, not to mention cooled also by the little stick-‘n-cardboard hand-fans we all used. Until this point, my life was all planned out: I was going off to KU in a few days to study architecture, but on this night Reverend Carrier asked me to consider the ministry. Hmm. Something to think about. (‘nuff for now. Perhaps I’ll return to this story in the future after giving the subject some thought.) 1 David Stout, “Blowing basketball bub-

the left of center. Earlier, I had whimpered fairly quietly, but now, in Round Two, there was nothing quiet about my sobbing and wailing. Round One had been powerful enough, but now, this second round was extremely gutwrenching. Snot and tears flowed freely. My step-grandma, Rose Stout, was there, putting her arms around me and whispering into my ear, “Your grandma’s here. I’m here with you David.” “Thank you Grandma.” I truly was glad she was there. “I’m here too,” another voice said as his hand patted me on the back. I recognized the voice of Loren Buss, one of the teachers from high school, a teacher I’d become very good friends with (probably because I never took any of his classes), a teacher who’d been one of our class sponsors the previous school term. The evangelist was sitting there in front of me on the floor, leaning back on his arms, just letting me carry on hysterically. I’m not sure if he was sitting there watching in amazement, in admiration, or in confusion, but sat there he did, just observing, this and

Notes from Nancy by Stevens County FACS Agent Nancy Honig
Money, Money, Money! Lately I’ve had money on my mind. Not the usual everyday thinking of money, but rather wondering about how others think of money. I recently attended our National Meeting for Extension Educators and I went to several workshops from the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) and the CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau). The workshops were about educating youth about being ‘money smart’. This week I started a six week Money Smart class for high school students (at 7:00 a.m. every Monday, if you want to send yours!) to help high school students start to think about their money, and the habits they are creating for spending, saving or investing it. But what I am really beginning to think about is how, by high school, kids have already developed bad habits, or have not yet learned important skills when it comes to finance. So here is some great information to start using with your kids or grandkids of all ages, to help start those money conversations early, and help them develop good money habits before it is too late. Find your child´s age group below and try one of the activities to get started. Age group: 3-5 Children need to work on patience, planning ahead, and making tradeoffs. Examples include: • Pretend play. Get creative, use props, and act out

activities and scenarios such as going to work or going shopping. • Start a conversation about shopping. Explain to your child that you need money to buy things. Point out items that cost money, such as ice cream, gas for the car, or clothes. • Read a book like "Lemonade in Winter" by Emily Jenkins. Use the discussion guide for activities to put ideas into action. Age group: 6-12 This age group to work on needs understanding the money world around them. • Talk about what’s on a sales receipt. Show your child how you estimate the price you’ll pay at the register and practice rounding up to include sales tax. • Discuss advertisements with your kids. There is an old adage: “Sell them what they want, give them what they need”. Explain how companies motivate consumers to purchase products and services by making them feel that they need the things that they merely want. Ensure your kids fully understand the difference between wants and needs. • Set a goal with your child for something they want, and talk about the steps it would
take to buy it. Have a conversation about planning before you spend money. • Read a book like "A Chair for My Mother" by Verna Williams. After reading, you can create a money jar together, or discuss ways your family can help friends and relatives. Age group: 13-21 For teens they need to work on real-life choices and comparing options. • Talk to your kids about money. It’s been said that money is the last taboo. Nobody wants to talk about it! When was the last time you had a conversation with your kids about paying the mortgage or rent? When was the last time you had a conversation about the cost of things at a store, or about a restaurant bill? • While shopping, or after dining at a restaurant and the bill is presented, are both great opportunities to familiarize your kids about family finances. • Household bills arrive in the mail and are usually paid with kids having no idea there are bills to be paid, where the money came from to pay them, or worse yet.... if there is difficulty in having them paid. • Explain what’s on a pay stub. If your child is just starting to work, show how deductions make the difference between wages and take-home pay.

LOOKING BACK
Memories from yesteryear Fred and Carrie Knier Fred and Carrie Knier came to Stevens County in 1920 from Jackson County. They purchased two quarters of farm land in Stevens County, one mile east and eight and one-half miles south of Hugoton. They had one son, Scherel. Fred Knier’s parents were originally from Germany. Scherel remembers very well the day he came to Hugoton. It was in March of 1920. He and his mother and another family came by train. It was a very windy day, and there were tumbleweeds tumbling everywhere. They could see a prairie fire south of town. They walked a mile to his grandmother’s home, Mrs. Mary Cutter. Scherel remembers his dad driving a 1915 Maxwell car. Their home was a little red granary for a year while they put together a precut house. This house is at 806 Monroe in Hugoton now. Fred Knier’s grandson Donald built a new home where Fred and Carrie had lived. Scherel attended schools at Voorhees and Hugoton. He and his parents attended church at Maple Leaf. Scherel was a charter member of the Cloverleaf Grange. Fred and Carrie both taughtSunday School classes at Maple Leaf Church, and Fred loved to sing and was a member of a singing group in the church. Dean William Knapp Dean W. Knapp, wife Lou Ella and children, Fay, Dean and Walter came to Feterita in the spring of 1919. Mr. Knapp ran the Farmer’s Ele-

That winter, 1919, there was a bad blizzard, which killed many cattle. “I remember salting down cattle hides at the Home Mercantile until I was sick of handling them. They came in by the header barge full,” recalled Ward

Knapp. Mr. Knapp was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Waldron, Kansas and helped institute the Lodge in Ensign in 1916. Lou joined the Eastern Star in Hugoton in January of 1920. They attended the Methodist Church. January 8, 1920, Maxie Katherine Knapp was born to the family. The Baldwin kids whom the Knapp boys played with told them about the Whetstone kids and how “sharp” and wonderful the Whetstone boys were. Not to be outdone, Walter told them their new baby sister could “run like a horse, drink like a fish and turn flip-flops like a chicken”. The news soon spread, and a lot of small fry came calling on the new baby. Taken from the “History of Stevens County and Its People”, published in 1979.

Thursday, October 9, 2008 At the October City Council meeting, City Inspector Tony Martin told the councilmen he thought the city regulations concerning mobile homes should be updated to be the same as county regulations. After some discussion, the council voted to stipulate mobile homes more than 20 years of age will not be allowed to be moved into Hugoton, the same as Stevens County regulations.

Friday, September 30, 1938 The people of this section of the country were pleased and excited over the most spectacular and colorful Aurora Borealis, popularly known as the Northern Lights, ever to be seen in a lifetime. The first glimpse of the white streamers were noticed here little before 9:30 and continued for nearly an hour. The most beautiful and colorful part of the display lasted for about 15 minutes. In the beginning there were few streamers, most of them short with a few long ones. The sky was

lighted with what looked like large flood lights behind the streamers. As more of the longer streamers appeared, the redorange glow filled the entire northern horizon. The glow and streamers began to fade out on the east side and continued until they disappeared on the west side. For a short time, it looked like the red-orange glow was tinted very faintly with a blue or lavender, which appeared near the center of nature’s lighting effects. After the streamers began to fade from the northern sky, there still remained the solid white glow, which was faintly tinted with the red. For many of our residents, it was the first time to see the Northern Lights. Oldtimers say it was the most colorful Aurora Borealis they have ever seen. The Northern Lights were visible in this section of the country back in 1915, if our memory does not fail us. 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.

If fall root growth occurs, then the tree becomes established months before a spring-planted tree and is better able to withstand the summer heat and other stresses.

ground freezes or at least cools to the point of limiting root growth. Upham reports some trees do not produce significant root growth during the fall and are better planted in the spring. Trees better suited to spring planting include beech, birch, redbud, tulip poplar, willow oak, scarlet oak, black oak, willows and dogwood. Fall-planted trees require some special care. Roots continue to grow even after the foliage has dropped and the upper tree has gone dormant. The limited root zone should be kept moist but not soggy. Upham says this may require watering not only in the fall but also during the winter months if temperatures are warm for periods of time and the soil begins to dry. Mulching around a new tree can be helpful in that it reduces moisture loss and slows the cooling of the soil so root growth continues as long as possible. Fertilizing Trees in the Landscape Homeowners often wonder if they should be taking special care to fertilize the trees in their landscapes. Most trees do not need special attention unless the tree shows specific signs of poor health. Typically, newly planted trees and old established trees do not need supplemental fertilization according to KSU’s Associate Horticulture Professor Jason Griffin and Kansas State Forester Tim McDonnell. Trees that may benefit from fertilization frequently display symptoms of reduced annual growth, small leaves or general yellowing of the foliage. If tree growth has slowed in recent
SPRAYING - SEEDING - FERTILIZING Complete Aerial Application
years (less than six inches per year) and there is no other reasonable explanation or site condition to warrant slow growth, fertilization may be appropriate. Trees located in home lawns receiving regular grass fertilizer applications would usually not need any additional nutrient supplementation. If the homeowner determines fertilizer may be beneficial, the recommended times to fertilize trees are spring and fall according to Griffin and McDonnell. Fertilizers should be applied in early spring before shoot elongation (before and during crabapple bloom) or late fall (just as fall color begins to develop) until leaf drop. Base the amount of fertilizer applied on the nitrogen percentage in the fertilizer. Fertilizer only needs to be spread under the canopy of the tree in most cases to catch most of the root zone. Measure the number of square feet under the canopy and apply one to two pounds of actual nitrogen per 1000 square feet of area. To calculate the correct amount of the fertilizer product needed, divide the number of pounds of nitrogen you want to apply by the percent (as a decimal) of nitrogen in the product being spread. For example: To apply one pound/1000 square foot of nitrogen using a product containing 24 percent nitrogen, divide one by .24. This tells us to apply a 4.16 pounds of the fertilizer product to 1000 sq. ft. Remember, applying too little is usually better than applying too much.

Market Report
by Stevens County Extension Agent Ron Honig - Agriculture and Natural Resources Planting Trees in the Fall Fall is generally considered the best season to plant trees for most tree species. During the spring, soils are cold and may be so wet in some areas that low oxygen levels inhibit root growth. The warm soils normally associated with fall encourage root growth. Also, compared with summer months, the cooler day and night temperatures decrease the amount of water lost through transpiration, making it easier for the tree’s limited root system to keep up with the foliage’s demand for water.

Jan showed the board the proof for the tourism brochure produced by the Hermes. They are putting some finishing touches on the brochure and then plan to get them printed as soon as possible. Neal stated he was on the Western Kansas Community Foundation and President Conny Bogaard is going to do a program at an upcoming Rotary meeting to talk about people/groups/organizations leaving money (setting up trusts) for grants in communities.

Rotarians hear about giving back Thursday, September 27, the Rotary listened to an interesting speaker from the Western Kansas Community Foundation. County Commissioners, members of the Economic Development and press from The Hermes were guests at the luncheon. Their speaker was Conny Bogaard, PhD. from Garden City. Dr. Bogaard came to the Rotary meeting to explain the Transfer of Wealth from the current generation to the next. Their goal is to secure five percent of the total amount transferred by encouraging individuals, families and businesses to give to community foundation endowments or to local nonprofits. This would help provide grants to support the good work of local nonprofits and ultimately strengthening Kansas communities. She was asking for people to transfer only five percent of their estate, 401k, IRA ac-

Conny Bogaard counts, life insurance policies or land to community foundations. This would strengthen communities across Kansas. She explained, “If we simply use a conservation goal of capturing just five percent of the likely Transfer of Wealth between now and the year 2020, an amazing $3.9 billion in community endowments could be realized.” Western Kansas Community Foundation partners with John Griffin to provide estate planning design services free of charge.

Seventh grade faces Scott and Holcomb
The seventh grade “A” team lost to Scott City in two sets Tuesday, September 25, 9-21 and 18-21. They tried to come back in the second set, but they couldn’t come back strong enough. Amanda Farnum was the VIP this match with her powerful serves. She had been serving underhand until Tuesday. “She has been practicing hard to get them over and she proved she could do it, so I allowed her to get with it,” said Coach Nelson. “She did a great job!” The seventh grade team also fell to Holcomb in two sets losing 6-21 and 15-21. the team played better against Holcomb and Abi Slocum was VIP this match. “She is a great setter and works hard all over the court, she has a great dig and knows how to use it. We struggle with standing when we need to be moving to the ball and therefore end up with dropped balls. We have been working a lot on this in practice, plus many more things. They have come a long way, but we need to continue to work hard,” said Coach Nelson. Tuesday the seventh grade had a home match, then Saturday, October 6 the team travels to Goodland for a volleyball tournament. The seventh grade “B” team lost to Scott City 12-21
and 11-21 and Holcomb 8-21 and 23-25. The team had some really good playing time. Coach Craig was very proud of them digging the balls out of the net. She stated, “They’ll be starting a new rotation today after seeing some strengths in the games. We look forward to seeing what is in store for the seventh grade ‘B’ team’s final match next Tuesday.”
Hugoton Middle School’s eighth graders traveled to Holcomb Tuesday, September 25 for a triangular with the Longhorns and Scott City. In the first game, the eighth grade’s “A” squad fell to Scott City, 19-21. The team rallied back in the second game to win 21-18, and defeated their opponents in the third game 15-9 to come away with a match win! Gianna Vos led the team in serving with 12 for 12 and three aces. Marrine Williams was right behind her with 12 for 13 and two aces. Mikyn Hamlin also boasted 100 percent serving with seven for seven and two aces. Mikyn did well at the net with five kills and a block. The team logged 46 of 52 for an incredible 89 percent serving overall. The girls had nine aces, nine kills and two blocks for the victory. In the second game, the Eagles faced the home team Holcomb. Hugoton won the first contest 21-11. The Long-
horns came back in the second to defeat HMS by nine points, 13-21. The third game belonged to Holcomb as they won 15-7. Kenzie Garza served almost 80 percent from the line, with ten for 13 earning points. Five of her serves were aces. Summya Adigun also had a good day at the line, serving up four of six, as well as two aces. Summya was also strong at the front of the court, earning a kill and a block for the game. Coach Bobbi Ferguson commented, “We played an outstanding game against Scott City tonight. We really worked as a team for this win. Our serving and our communication struggled a bit against Holcomb.” Hugoton will meet both Scott City and Holcomb at the upcoming GWAC League meet Saturday, October 6 in Goodland. Other teams will include Colby, Ulysses and Goodland. Play starts at 10:00 a.m.

HMS eighth “B” team claims a pair of wins at Holcomb The Lady Eagles of Hugoton Middle School’s eighth grade “B” competed against Scott City and Holcomb last Tuesday, September 25. The triangular took place on Holcomb’s home turf, but that didn’t stop the Eagles from performing their best! In the first game against Scott City, the Hugoton team demolished the Beavers in just two games, 21-14 and 219. Coach Harry Ferguson had this to say, “The girls came out a little tight in the first set but settled down and played much better in the second set. Julienne Salazar did well serving in the first set to get back the lead and win the game.” For the second game, the girls took on the Lady Longhorns. They struggled to find
their groove in the first game, falling to Holcomb 17-21. The girls then figured out a strategy to come back to win 21-15 and 15-8 in the remaining two games. Coach Harry said, “The girls played well overall. Rylee Fann had a huge night serving, hitting over 94% on her serves. Haley Ascencio and Zaethy Otero continue to improve every single match!”

Homecoming week is exciting as usual Homecoming week is always exhausting and invigorating. The Pirates spent the week of September 24 through September 28 dressing up and showing their spirit in various fun and entertaining ways. The end of the week brought the pep rally, which had to be moved inside due to the rainy weather. The newly formed pep squad led cheers as the band - under the direction of Mark Compaan - “played on”! The homecoming candidates participated in a relay with marshmallows and tri-
cycles. Javier Torres and Melanie Norton were the champs in this game! A poster competition took place during the week and winners were announced. Mrs. Clark’s class won in the elementary, eighth grade won in junior high and seniors won the high school division. The Pirates were pumped and ready for football action. The evening was cool and the queen candidates stayed in their coats and blankets until they were announced to walk onto the field. The crowd waited with bated
breath until Kaberlin Hull announced the winners…. King Daniel Weatherly and Queen Cacee Milburn! The King and Queen took a few minutes to pose with their court before the King headed back to the field to take on the Deerfield Spartans. The Pirates were on fire and beat the Spartans, 67-18! Congratulations Pirates on the win! The next game will be Friday, October 5 at Moscow. Pioneer Electric will be hosting a tailgate party with free hot dogs and drinks! Come to Moscow and support the Pirates!

Fifth graders attend annual OWLS event at Cimarron National Grasslands September 26, Rolla’s fifth-grade class attended the annual OWLS (Outdoor Wildlife Learning Site) event at Middle Springs in the Cimarron National Grasslands. This event is a cooperative effort by the U.S. Forest Service, the National Resources Conservation Service, the Morton County Historical Museum, the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism, and the Morton and Stevens County Extension Offices. Students rotated to six different stations during the morning. At the Fire Ecology station, U.S. Forest Service staff showed students firefighting and safety equipment and explained how the equipment is used. At the Soil station, hosted by the NRCS, students got to experience life underground by walking through the Soil Tunnel Trailer. Students also learned more about the many common products made from crops grown in our area. Staff of the Forest Service hosted the Leave No Trace station, where students learned about principles of camping and other use of public lands which “leave no trace” of our presence. Many

Another popular station was the Santa Fe Trail station, hosted by the Morton County Museum staff and volunteers. Folks dressed as Native Americans and travelers along the Santa Fe Trail told of life along the trail and showed items travelers and Native Americans used or traded for.

together and a bag of hardtack, dried fruit, and beef jerky, similar to foods eaten on the trail. The Skin, Skulls, and Tracks station was a discussion of grassland animals led by staff of the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism. Students were able to compare the skulls of different mammals and learn about their eating habits by the type of teeth they have. Students also explored different animal pelts and learned about the behavior and habits of animals found in our area. At the final station, Conservation, students learned
about the Dust Bowl and the farming practices that contributed to that era of erosion. Photographs taken in our region and a demonstration of how moving air picks up soil helped students visualize in a small way what the dust storms were like. The event ended with a picnic lunch of grilled hot dogs provided by the Morton County Museum. Area fifth grade students are extremely grateful to all the agency staff and volunteers who worked so hard to host a memorable education event. Written by Becky Sohm.

Thank You
It is with a grateful heart that I write this Thank You to my children, grandchildren and the rest of my family & friends for all their support, care and concern since my car accident in June. There is no way I could have gotten through the last few months without each and every one of you. And to my community, there are not enough words to thank each of you for your acts of kindness. I appreciated all the visits, phone calls, and emails while I was in the hospital and the nursing home. I am so glad to be home. That was made possible by Pheasant Heaven Charities and Rick Wolters for the wheelchair ramp and work to make my house wheelchair accessible. I cannot thank them enough for all they did. Thanks for all the meals and errands run for me since I have gotten home. Thanks to Phil, Catie, Bob, Di & Kelly for mowing my whole place all summer. The list goes on and on. Needless to say, I am proud to live in a community like this. Everyone pitches in and helps wherever needed. May you each be blessed beyond your imagination. Love, Connie Hittle
