Montana Beesley recognized and remembered A great honor has been bestowed on one of Hugoton’s own in their selection to participate in the National FFA Talent Competition. It is with great sorrow that this news release, which was scheduled for release this week, had to be revised to reflect the passing of Montana Beesley, a member of the Hugoton FFA. Montana Beesley, daughter of Renee and Don
Beesley, was selected to perform in the National FFA Talent Competition October 27-November 1. Montana was a member of the Hugoton FFA and a sophomore at Hugoton High School. The Talent participants are to be involved in a three - step selection process at Convention to select the top talent this year, with the acts judged for showmanship, creativity, sound
quality, clarity and stage presence. The competition will be aired live on RFD-TV later this month. Montana was to perform on stage and bring excitement to the Convention and Exposition. She had submitted an application, along with a recorded audition. Less than 40 acts from throughout the country, that are part of the 600,000 FFA members, have been selected to
provide entertainment during the 2014 Convention sessions, meal functions and award receptions. The Hugoton FFA Chapter had planned to attend her performance while at Convention but now FFA members will cherish the memory of her God given talents and remember her smiling face and the loving concern she had for each of her fellow FFA members.

Montana and Conner were both Life Watched to Wichita where Montana later passed away. Montana was a bright shining star very well known and loved, with a seemingly fantastic looking future ahead of her. She will leave an enormous void not only in the lives of her family but in her whole community. She would surely want all her family, friends and com-

Sheriff Heaton also reported another motor vehicle accident occuring Tuesday, September 30 at approximately 5:41 p.m. Emergency crews responded to a three vehicle accident located at the intersection of Highway 25 and Highway 56 north of Hugoton. Number one vehicle was stopped, waiting to make a left turn to head north. Number two vehicle struck the number one vehicle in

Council considers construction, RVs and water rates Hugoton City Council met in regular session October 6, 2014 in the council meeting room at 5:15 p.m. Attending the meeting were Mayor Jack E. Rowden, City Clerk Thomas G. Hicks, Electrical System Supervisor Gary Rowden, Outside Utilities Supervisor Paul Nordyke, City Inspector Joshua Grubbs, City Attorney Wayne R. Tate, Police Chief Courtney Leslie and councilmen Dean Banker, Mike Eshbaugh, Dan Corpening, Shannon Crawford and Tron Stegman. Also present at the meeting were Jan Leonard, Larry Olson and Hugoton Hermes reporter Ruthie Winget. The minutes of the last meeting, the quarterly charge offs and the September municipal judge’s report were approved. Josh Grubbs reported Carter’s Thriftway being built at 910 E. Eleventh Street is putting in the foundation. The Best Western Plus being built at 1004 E. Eleventh Street is in the process of putting in the foundation and plumbing. Warren Willis’s project at 928 S. Main Street is ready to start
ground work. The foundations of the triplex being built by Richard Rome at 900 S. Washington is nearly complete. Aqua Shield’s housing project located at 600 S. Washington Place has some of the walls up and is roughed in. Tommy Romero’s house located at 703 E. Fifth Street and Keith Rome’s house located at 1505 S. Eisenhower Street are in the finishing stages. Ray Hoggatt of Dillco planned to attend the council meeting but was not able to due to illness. He wanted to discuss with the council about buildings being torn down by the city. After some discussion, the council stated they do not want to interfere with any businesses that tear down and remove structures as part of their business. The city will continue to tear down derelict houses at a reduced rate. Any other structures will need to go before the City Council for approval on a case by case basis. Jan Leonard brought in Larry Olson, Kansas RVT, to explain the difference between RVs and mobile homes. RVs are a temporary
residence and mobile homes are a permanent residence that can not be moved quickly. Josh reported that, according to city codes, if a lot has a mobile home on it, an RV can be parked there also. Hicks stated most of these RVs have been “grandfathered in.” Attorney Tate recommended to have the City Inspector and City Clerk to work with the attorney to check into the codes during the next 30 days concerning RVs around town and report back to the council. The council voted to approve the 2014 Standard Traffic Ordinance (see Ordinance No. 814 on page 8B) and the Public Offense Ordinance (see Ordinance No. 815 on page 3B.) City Clerk Hicks brought up the issue of water rates the city charges their customers. Currently, Hugoton charges $1.05 for the first hundred thousand gallons and $.85 for all above hundred thousand gallons. Surrounding towns charge a lot more for water. If the water rates were higher, more people would conserve the water. After some discusContinued to page 4

Montana Beesley was recently selected to participate in the National FFA Talent Competition. Sadly, Montana passed away this past weekend. Her talent, compassion and ambition will be remembered fondly by the entire community.
Commissioners hear from Road & Bridge The Stevens County Board of County Commissioners met in regular session Monday, October 6, 2014 with all members, Pat Hall, James Bell and Dave Bozone present. Also present were County Clerk Pam Bensel and RoGlenda Coulter from The Hugoton Hermes. 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 was very short and only included Tony Martin at 9:30; and 12:00 - lunch. When this reporter arrived commissioners were going over the bills. Motion was made and passed to accept and pay the bills. A change in the next meeting was discussed. Jim has knee surgery scheduled. A meeting coming up was discussed and who will go to represent Stevens County. Insurance plans were looked over and discussed. Motion was made and passed to continue as usual. Bids taken for windows in the Fitness Center were discussed. There were three bids. Two were local and one was from out of town. One local bid was $3,000 over the other two, the out of town bid was $50 lower than the second local bid. Following discussion, motion was made and passed to accept the lowest local bid from Wayne Harrison with the stipulation of a time frame of two months. Pat will notify him. Rodney Kelling came in.
He needed an executive session. Following the executive session Rodney told the commissioners about having to wash down a truck spill. He also told of some building repairs needed at the Hugoton Fire Station and the Moscow Station. He had bids for four locks needing replaced. Rodney received a bid from Custom Renovations. He had requested two from out of town but did not get any response. The overhead doors also need repairs. Rodney had tried to get bids from different businesses but only received one from Silver Star in Sublette. Motion was made to accept the bid from Custom Renovations for the locks. Rodney will do some more checking for the overhead doors. He said the concrete they accepted the bids on has still not been run. Tony Martin came in for his scheduled spot. He talked about the spill over the weekend the fire department had to clean up. Discussion followed about the smell and consistency of the product spilled. He told the commissioners it has been decided to not accept this product at the landfill anymore. Tony then went on to talk about the work Kirkham Michael will be doing, how and by whom they will be paid and the reimbursement. The timing is very bad as bids will start in November. The county’s budget people say there is a time frame for things like this and it is questionable this can be accomplished in that time frame. Tony kind of

questioned why Road and Bridge is responsible for paying for a highway project. Tony told of Abengoa offering fly-ash to be put on roads. He went on to talk about the asphalt being taken up from the airport and needing to be taken to the landfill. This is not very good; it might be a good idea to see if it could be crushed by the company crushing the concrete. It has no rebar in it. He then reported bad news, a part on the asphalt plant has worn out. It either has to be replaced or fixed/patched. He also reported seismographers will be in the area north/west of town and east of town. Sheriff Ted Heaton came in to report for his department. He talked about an employee having surgery and the recent accidents. He reported there had been a break-in at the local liquor store. The suspects have been apprehended and charges will be filed. A conference call was made to Bob Johnson. He put his okay on the contracts from KDOT with questions about the timing of the payments and reimbursements. He also gave his approval for the meeting change. Commissioners decided to change the October 20 meeting to October 17 at 8:00 a.m. Motion was made and passed to accept the minutes.

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FALL SPORTS
Hugoton Eagles confront tough Scott City team The Eagles ran into a brick wall Friday night in the home game against Scott City. It wasn't much of an offense game with the Eagles only making 57 yards rushing on 32 carries. The Beavers, however, found every hole the Eagles would leave open and scored six times while running 273 yards on 45 carries. And the bad news just doesn't stop there. Hugoton's quarterback, Parker Titus couldn't get a break, attempting 17 passes but only able to connect six times for 26 yards. Valentine Degollado was the team’s main ball carrier, taking the ball 54 yards on 18 carries. Titus added nine more yards rushing for a total of 63 yards but losses by Ulises Armendariz and Eddie Marquez brought the team’s total down to 57. The Eagles made their most yards on a single pass to Tyler Goode for a 19 yard gain. Michael Baeza was also able to catch one pass for another five yards. Though Wade Heger was able to catch two passes, he was shut
down quickly, only gaining a total of three yards. When it came down to the Eagles’ passing game it was obvious the Beavers knew how to handle it and quickly put a stop to any big gains. Scott City intercepted two passes taking any chance the home team had of scoring away. Scott City no doubt is the toughest team in our conference and they shut the Eagles down on every play. Hugoton was able to get six first downs but the Beavers once again outdid the Eagles with 20. When the final buzzer sounded the Eagles did not score a single point while giving up the win to Scott City, 0-42. The Eagles will try for their first conference win next week against Southwestern Heights. Hugoton’s only win of the season was their first against Guymon which did not count in the conference. Hopefully the Eagles will turn this record around in the coming weeks and put this team back on top where they belong!
Valentine Degollado adds a few more much needed yards in Friday’s game against Scott City. In total he added 54 yards for the team with 18 carries.

The Lady Eagles were victorious over Holcomb last week with a win in two, 25-15 and 25-23. “This was a good rematch for us since Holcomb had beat us earlier this season. I was proud of how our girls played as a team and stayed focused defensively,” coach Melanie Gifford committed. The varsity girls placed fourth in Oakley Saturday. Hugoton beat Lakin 25-15 and 25-20, then defeated Quinter 25-11 and 25-11. Another win, this time against Scott City, 25-12 and 25-17 sent the Lady Eagles’ varsity squad to bracket play. Hugoton went against Wheatland/ Grinnel next and was defeated 23-25 and 23-25.
The one loss sent the team to play against Colby for third place. Despite the hard play by the home team girls, Hugoton ended with fourth place after the 16-25 and 2125 loss to the Colby Lady Eagles. “It was a long but great day of volleyball. We saw a lot of good things during bracket play and it was fun to watch the girls as a team. We also got some of the younger girls in so they could experience volleyball at the Varsity level,” concluded Gifford. The Lady Eagles’ JV team did not have as good of playing experience after they lost both games, while the CTeam went one and one, beating the Ulysses Tigers.
Hugoton Middle School’s seventh grade volleyball girls play Dodge City Monday evening. The Lady Eagles lost 21-15 and 21-18 in two games.

Ladies’ golf team travels to three meets It’s been a busy few weeks for the girls’ golf team traveling to Garden City and Colby

and post nice scores. Abby Crawford came out and played some of her best golf of her career and was the low scorer in Garden City. Mary Weaver has been working hard and it certainly shows, as she posted very nice scores also at tough courses. This week the Lady Eagles were at Ulysses for a varsity meet and the girls played awesome. Ulysses is a challenging course and the girls accepted the challenge wholeheartedly. All three posted scores in the 50s on the front nine. The back nine always plays tougher and it didn’t let up on the Lady Eagles at all. They did well and kept back scores in the 60s. The overall scores put them
in the top 30 out of over 50 golfers. Thursday, Weaver was the only Eagle golfer to play the junior varsity tourney in Syracuse. Mary played outstanding golf on a extremely tough course and bested 21 out of 22 golfers to bring home her third medal of the year, this one being silver in color. “This team is full of pride and never ceases to amaze me with their never give up attitude. We are hitting our stride at the right time with regionals just around the corner. I'm proud to say that we are fixing to put Hugoton golf back on the map! Mark my words,” concluded Coach Rex Evans.
Cross country teams place first at Syracuse meet Both the boys and girls cross country teams placed first at their meet in Syracuse Saturday, October 4. “We had some kids really pick it up and perform very well. Our boys really had a close call but pulled through with a great effort. Our girls looked really strong and ran all as a group. Both teams are rounding into shape well for our next few weeks of the season,” said Coach Nick Rodriguez.

Fall Colors of Trees Part of the allure of fall foliage is color variation. There are trees that turn red, purple, yellow, orange and brown. Specific plant pigments determine individual colors. Foliage derives its normal green color from chlorophyll, the substance that captures the energy of the sun. Other pigments produce fall colors. Reds and purples
are caused by anthocyanins, yellows by xanthophylls, and oranges by a combination of carotenes and xanthophylls. Browns are the result of tannins present in the leaf. Most of these substances are present throughout the growing season but are masked by the green color produced by chlorophyll. Anthocyanins are the exception and are produced after the chloro-

phyll is destroyed in the fall. If you have ever seen pictures of New England in the fall, you have probably wondered why trees in Kansas usually do not color as well. This difference is partly because of the tree species prevalent in New England. Certain oaks and maples naturally produce good color. Coloring also is influenced by the weather. Warm, sunny days and cool nights are ideal for good color. The sunny days encourage photosynthesis and, thus, sugar accumulation in the leaves. As fall progresses, each leaf develops an abscission layer at the base of the petiole, or leaf stem, that prevents these sugars from being transported down the trunk to the
roots for storage. This high sugar content in the leaves produces more intense colors. Cloudy days and warm nights prevent some of the sugar accumulation in the leaves and results in less vibrant colors. Weather during other parts of the growing season also can have an effect. Heavy rains in the early spring or hot, dry weather during the summer can both have a deleterious effect on fall color. The length of time a tree maintains fall color also depends on weather. Reds, yellows and oranges are short-lived when trees undergo frosts and freezes. Submitted by Ward Upham, Extension Associate.
Firearm deer hunters eager for firearm season can sate their hankering through a special two-day opportunity.
Pre-rut whitetail antlerless-only season is October 11-12 Firearm deer hunters who utilize the whitetail antlerless-only seasons to put deer meat in the freezer no longer have to wait until January. The Pre-rut White-tail Antlerless-only season is October 11-12, 2014. Just like the football has pre-season games, firearm deer hunters have a special two-day prerut season, giving them a sample of what’s to come. During the Pre-Rut Whitetail Antlerless-Only season, any permit allowing the harvest of a white-tailed antlerless deer is valid. Equipment and unit restrictions listed on permits are still in effect, and all deer hunters are required to wear hunter orange during this season.
This special season came about as a result of a legislative mandate in 2012 requiring a pre-rut firearm deer season. This is the second year for the two-day firearm season. Last year, 6,672 hunters went afield harvesting just fewer than 2,000 antlerless whitetails. Since the pre-rut season runs concurrent with archery season, the number of days a bowhunter has to purse deer are not reduced. For more information aobut this season, consult the 2014 Kansas Hunting and Furharvesting Regulation Summary, or visit ksoutdoors.com and click “Hunting/ Hunting Regulations.”

Reprinted by permission from ARRL (American Radio Relay League). A well-known Kansas Amateur Radio couple has passed on. Martha "Marte" Wessel, KØEPE, of Liberal, passed away September 23. She was 89. Her husband Walter "Pete" Wessel, WØCM, passed six days later September 29 at age 101. Both were ARRL members. "Liberal has lost a YL legend and a lowband DX veteran," said ARRL Honorary Vice President Bruce Frahm, KØBJ, referring to the couple. Marte Wessel was on the DXCC Honor Roll. She oversaw the annual scholarship drive for the Young Ladies Radio League (YLRL), to which she belonged for 55 years and served on the President's Advisory Committee. The scholarship campaign she headed raised nearly $4600 this year. "Martha was one of the cornerstones of the YLRL and of the Colorado-YLs, of which she was our last charter member," the YLRL Web site said in announcing her passing. An Ohio native, Marte Wessel belonged to the Ohio Ladies Amateur Radio Club (Buckeye Belles), the Quarter Century Wireless Association, Young Ladies International Single Sideband System, and the Quarter Century Wireless Women. She also was an avid bowler, a Red Cross "Grey Lady" volunteer, and a Camp Fire Girls leader. The YLRL has invited donations in memory of Marte Wessel to its scholarship fund to Linda Hynan, AC5QQ, 1312 Western Ridge Dr, Waco, Tx. 76712. Pete Wessel, WØCM, a Nebraska native, was well-known as a low-band DXer and also was on the DXCC Honor Roll. A US Navy veteran, he was licensed in 1928 as 9EYE, and subsequently held W9EYE, W9JYW, and WØLYW. In addition to the League, Pete Wessel belonged to the Old Timers Club
Marte and Pete Wessel will both be sorely missed not only by family but by ham radio friends from all over. and was a Life Member of the Southern Plains Amateur Radio Klub. Pete and Marte Wessel had been married for 69 years. EDITOR’S NOTE: Pete and Marte were both members of the DX Century Club, an Amateur Radio premier award hams can earn by confirming on air contacts with 100 or more entities. As of September 30, 2014, there are 340 current entities. Pete was in the group of top five with the most contacts in mixed mode (Morse Code, Amateur Radio Teletype and Voice Communications) over his career, tying with two others at 392 contacts and only two contacts below the highest number of contacts. Two other operators
hold top rank with 394 contacts. Marte had 372 contacts. *Silent Key - SK. Euphemism for a deceased Amateur Radio operator. In the Western Union company's "92 code" used even before the American Civil War, the number 30 meant "The end. No more." It also meant "good night." In Landline Morse, 30 is sent didididahdit daaah, the zero being a long dash. Run the 30 together and it has the same sound as SK.

Average gas prices keep trending down Average retail gasoline prices in Kansas have fallen 3.7 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.12 per gallon Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 1,329 gas outlets in Kansas. This compares with the national average that has fallen 2.5 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.30 per gallon, according to gasoline price Web site GasBuddy.com. Including the change in gas prices in Kansas during the past week, prices Sunday were 15.7 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 16.4 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 13.8 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 5.8 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago. “We've begun to see retail prices eroding at a much faster rate in the last few days across a good portion of the country,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “Fortyeight out of 50 states saw average prices decline in the last week, with some of the largest declines in the Midwest, where more and more stations are slipping under the $3 per gallon barrier. Motorists should be seeing continued drops in gas prices across much of the United States in the week ahead as gas prices catch up to the recent decrease in crude oil prices.” Submitted by gasbuddy.com.

MUSEUM UPDATE from The Stevens County Gas & Historical Museum Beulah Carter, and Billy Woodworth “I CALL SHOTGUN!” Remember hearing those iconic words of calling “SHOTGUN” when you and some friends were going to the car to go somewhere? I can remember
to ride shotgun had great honor and riding in the back was shameful. Although that was back in mid-1970s, now it’s just a bummer to not get to ride “shotgun".
This 1923 Model T is on loan to the museum by Howard Gracey and his daughter Sue Omo. For Results You Can Measure!
TRY THE CLASSIFIEDS!
Many, including me, thought this enthusiastic contest of who shouts “I Call Shotgun!” first came from the l920s Chicago gangster age - Al Capone, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Baby Face Nelson, to name but a few - and riding shotgun meant hanging out of the frontpassenger window rat-a-tatting at them “coppers tailin’ us”. However, you might be surprised to find out that it was not the mobster side of the law, but actually protecting the occupants and cargo from the bandits of the Old West. Riding shotgun meant you were positioned next to the stagecoach driver ready to fend off any danger you might run into. This “shotgun passenger” had the sole purpose of protecting those in the stage coach and the contents during the somewhat dangerous treks across
the raw land of the Indian country and from would-be bandits after the payroll. Riding shotgun was about as exciting as meeting an angry Al Capone in a dark alley! It was an extremely uncomfortable necessity for cross country rides. Come see the large collection of shotguns, rifles and handguns we have and don’t forget to look at the various modes of travel we also have here at the Museum. We have everything from wagons, buckboards and surreys, to a 1923 Model T, Buggy-Taxi, and an old custom-made vehicle with a hidden entry. We are located at 905 S. Adams Street in Hugoton and open Monday through Friday 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. and and Saturday from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Let’s go today! I call “SHOTGUN!”

Mollee King qualifies for National Bible Bee A local young person will be headed to Orlando, Fl., to compete in the 2014 National Bible Bee this October 29 to November 1. Mollee King excelled in Bible memorization and study enough to secure one of 360 top scores from across the country during the Local Bible Bee Contest which took place August 23. Mollee King is the daughter of David and Melanie King and a member of the First Baptist Church in Guymon, Ok.. Summer support and social activities were offered by the Guymon Bible Bee under the leadership of Melanie King. Mollee King memorized 24 Bible passages and studied the Bible book of Jonah in depth over the summer, and now has another 450 verses and the book of Nahum to study for the National Contest. The 2014 National Bible Bee will take place from October 29 through November 1 in Orlando, Fl., at the Hilton Lake Buena Vista. Contestants and their families will lodge at the Hilton during the event. During the National Contest, the 360 National Qualifiers will demonstrate their diligence in Scripture knowledge and memorization through oral and written rounds. The top winners receive a share of more than $280,000 in awards and prizes, and every contestant will be encouraged and recognized for their Biblical excellence. The National Contest is surrounded by a family-friendly atmosphere and activities, including daily prayer gatherings, inspiring speaker sessions, and a fun “Friday Night Party Night” including a full concert from the GLAD a cappella group.

We anticipate the same and more for this year’s event.” Family-friendly activities are offered at economical wristband and ticket prices. Many families also will be inspired and challenged by the onstage SemiFinal Rounds, in which the top National Contestants engage in a word-perfect, single-elimination Bible Memory contest, as well as the Final Challenge Rounds, in which the advancing contestants gain points by reciting passages and answering questions on the knowledge they have gained.

Lights travel for birthday party
Aspen Sohm, Lena Martens and Maria Kroeker, accompanied by teacher Mrs. Murray and Linda Holcomb, take a road trip to celebrate reading.
Winning students visit Emporia For the past eight years, Mrs. Suzanne Murray, Rolla School Librarian, has issued a challenge to the Rolla elementary, junior high and staff member readers. Students and staff members are encouraged to read a set number of William Allen White award winning books and then they will earn a trip to Emporia to visit his house and other sites the following fall. Last year’s winners were students Aspen Sohm, Lena Martens, Maria Kroeker and adults Linda Holcomb and Suzanne Murray. The group left Rolla early Friday morning, October 3, to begin their journey across Kansas to Emporia, stopping first at Hutchinson’s Salt Museum for a tour in the dark and a piece of salt. A picnic lunch followed at a nice roadside table. Upon arriving at Emporia, a tour to William Allen White’s house, Red Rocks, was the first order of business. The group then checked into the Emporia Recreation Center, where the guests make a bed on the gym floor. The winners are allowed to swim and use any of the facilities while enjoying their stay in Emporia. The girls met with two of the authors, Don Brown who wrote “America is Under Attack” and Helen Frost who wrote “Hidden”. A question and answer session with the authors took place. Mrs. Murray had brought along some board games for later in the evening. The winners were taken to the Pizza Ranch for a supper out, courtesy of Mrs. Murray. Saturday, after a quick McDonald’s breakfast, the group
traveled to the Emporia State University Student Union to meet with winners from other schools. There were several stations available for the students to participate in, such as book crafts, science projects and poetry. Rolla’s winners had taken the school’s copies of the books and had the winning authors sign the books. The state delegation of winners welcomed the Emporia State football team, who encouraged the students to keep reading. Goody bags were given to everyone in attendance. Another interesting place to visit in Emporia is Peter Pan Park. Mr. White donated the land for the park in memory of his daughter, Mary, who died as the result of a riding accident at the age of 17. One more stop was made at the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve near Strong City. A supper stop at McDonald’s in Hutchinson was the final stop before returning to Rolla about 11:00 p.m. Saturday, October 4. Mrs. Murray and Mrs. Holcomb both reported a good time was had by all who attended. Hopefully, next year’s winners will double! Congratulations to all and good luck to those trying to win for next year.

Marcus and Beverly Light of Rolla traveled to Bethany, Ok., for their first granddaughter’s first birthday. Sloane Stilwell made her appearance October 5, 2013. Sloane had a bevy of aunts, uncles, friends and family who attended her first party. Mom Whitney and Dad Larry were close at hand to enjoy all the family as well.
Sloane received a tiny baby grand piano from her Gigi Stilwell and provided her first concert. Grandpa Marcus stated, “The audience sat with complete astounding gratitude for the melodies that Sloane had composed, from the depths of her talent all were changed and left a gasp wanting more!” Happy birthday, Sloane!

The Moscow city park and some yards were invaded by Monarch butterflies migrating this week. What a beautiful sight! The Monarch butterfly is probably the most familiar of North American butterflies, and is in the family Nymphalidae. The creatures are likely on their way to warmer climets in the southwest. Photo courtesy of Lowell Stanley.
Lowell Stanley, Moscow’s resident photographer, captured this beautiful shot of an egret recently.
Teeters greet visitors Diana Paris and Mary and Landen of Dighton were weekend visitors of her parents, Lanerre and Darrell Teeter in Ulysses. They all came to Moscow Homecoming Friday
night. Levi and Monica Teeter’s little girl Leann was one of the attendants at homecoming. They also attended the Fallfest and Car Show in Ulysses Saturday.
WHO’S THAT BIRD? To the admittedly untrained eyes at The Hermes, this bird just might be a sandhill crane. Sandhill cranes are normally found in North America and extreme northeastern Siberia. Cranes are herbivores, eating mainly seeds, corn, wheat and sorghum. Photo courtesy of Lowell Stanley.

MHS hosts volleyball tourney Moscow hosted their annual invitational high school volleyball tournament October 4. Schools participating were Rolla, Deerfield, Ingalls, Fowler, South Baca, Satanta, Minneola and Moscow. The host team started their pool play strong with two victories over Deerfield, with scores of 25-5 and 25-3, and Minneola winning both games 25-16 and 25-22. A very competitive match
against Fowler had the gym loud with excitement. Moscow took the match to three sets but was not able to hold off the Lady Goldbugs in three games, scoring 25-13, 18-25 and 22-25. In bracket play, the Lady Cats faced the Ingalls Lady Bulldogs. It was another great match but Moscow wasn’t able to get the victory, in two close games of 23-25 and 20-25. South Baca and Moscow took the court for the consolation game. After a busy homecoming week, the Lady Cats gave their all but could not pull out another win, losing to the Lady Patriots 17-25 and l2-25. Fowler took home the championship with Ingalls taking second.
