Sheriff warns of “family emergency” scams Stevens County Sheriff Ted Heaton would like to make the Stevens County residents aware of this situation. It is very important to call the Sheriff ’s Department if you feel this is being done to you. “I lost my wallet and ID. I’m stranded - please wire money.” “Your grandson (or other family member) is being held in jail. He needs bail money right away.” Scammers try to trick you into thinking a loved one is in trouble. They call, text, email or send mes-
sages on social media about a supposed emergency with a family member or friend. They ask you to send money immediately. To make their story seem real, they may claim to be an authority figure, like a lawyer or police officer; they may guess at - or even know - facts about your loved one. These imposters may insist you keep quiet about their demand for money to keep you from checking out their story and identifying them as imposters. But no matter how real or urgent this seems, it is a scam.
If you get a call or message like this, what to do? 1. Check it out before you act. Look up that friend or family member’s phone number yourself. Call them or another family member to see what’s happening. Even if the person contacted you told you not to. 2. Don’t pay. Don’t wire money, send a check, overnight a money order, or pay with a gift card or cash reload card. Anyone who demands payment in these ways is always, always, always a scammer. These payment
methods are like giving cash - and nearly untraceable, unless you act almost immediately. 3. If you sent money to a family emergency scammer, contact the company you used to send the money (wire transfer service, bank, gift card company, or cash reload card company) and tell them it was a fraudulent transaction. Ask to have the transaction reversed, if possible. 4. Report the message or call the Stevens County Sheriff’s Department at 620-544-4386.
Be prepared during Fire Prevention Week According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), if you have a reported home fire today, you are more likely to die than you were in 1980. This startling fact is attributed to several factors, including the way homes are built and the contents in them. “Open floor plans and a prevalence of modern synthetic furnishings make homes burn faster and the fires produce deadly smoke and gases within moments,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA vice president of Outreach and Advocacy. According to Carli, you can have as little as two to three minutes to escape a home fire today as compared to eight to ten minutes years ago. These concerns prompted NFPA to create “Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere.” as the theme for Fire Prevention Week, October 713, 2018. It emphasizes three basic but critical messages: • Look for places fire can start • Listen for the sound of the smoke alarm • Learn two ways out of each room “This year’s Fire Prevention Week messages point to

the essentials of home fire safety,” said Carli. “Looking for potential fire hazards in the home, making sure your smoke alarms are working properly, and having a home escape plan that everyone has practiced - these actions can dramatically reduce the loss from home fires.” Motivating the public to take these steps can prove challenging, notes Carli, because people don’t think they could have a fire, despite the fact that home is the place they’re at greatest risk. Four out of five U.S. fire deaths occur in homes. “Because we have reduced the overall number of fires, there is a general complacency and a lack of action around home fire preparedness and planning,” said Carli. “Our goal for Fire Prevention Week is to make sure people recognize that fire remains a very real risk, and that everyone needs to take action to protect themselves and their families.” For more information about Fire Prevention Week, October 7-13, and this year’s theme, “Look.

Then in mid-August, it started to rain, and the grass began growing and greening up a bit, DeGeer says. By the end of September, the pastures looked like they should have. Despite the dog days of summer, DeGeer says his cows managed to stay “looking pretty good.” So, what will this dry spell mean to cattlemen like DeGeer in the long run? “We’re starting to pregnancy check our herd and we’re seeing more open [not with calf] cows than we normally do,” the longtime cattleman says. “I’m sure weaning weights on the calves will be less this year as well.” While this scenario is not one any cattleman wants to be faced with, DeGeer will live with the hand he’s been dealt, make changes and move ahead. This will mean reducing the family cow herd this year. In turn, this will allow the pastures a chance to recover from the dry summer of 2018. Buying additional feed for his livestock will also mean steeper prices for big round bales. Prices for this coveted commodity have jumped from $30-35 a bale to $75-100 each.

Cutting cattle numbers
Mother Nature turned the tables this year in Kansas as eastern Kansas cattle producers dealt with diminished grass for their livestock while central and western regions of the Sunflower State flourished with pastures nourished by abundant rain. In southeastern Kansas, Jim DeGeer, veteran cattleman from Neosho County, says a long, cool spring delayed native grasses (used for summer grazing) from taking off and growing like they normally do. And when it finally did warm up, conditions were so dry, these grasses never had the opportunity to grow. “Our pastures were extremely short all summer,” DeGeer says. “I know the guys who cut prairie hay throughout our regions and they told me production amounted to only a third to one-half the normal output.” Yep, forage availability has been tight in much of southeastern Kansas beginning in June and running into August. “It’s been dry most of the summer,” the veteran cattleman says. “We were drier and had less grass this summer than during the bad drought years beginning in 2011 and running through 2013.”
Seattle, Wa. and Soleah Hood of Lummi Island; great grandchildren, Foster Truman and Ka’Leah Turner; and her brother Cleo Kerns and wife Betty of Laurel, Ms. Leah was preceded in death by her husband; parents; brothers, Warren Kerns and Adrian Kerns; and her sister LaVada Lee. Funeral services were attended Monday morning, October 8 at Brenneman Funeral Home in Liberal. Memorials are suggested to the First Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, in care of Brenneman Funeral Home, 1212 West Second, Liberal, Ks 67901.
“We buy a lot of hay anyway,” the Neosho County cattleman says. “We’ll need to pay the piper to keep our cow herd well fed.” DeGeer isn’t the Lone Ranger when it comes to cutting cow numbers. Neighbors and other livestock producers are faced with the same dilemma. “I laugh to myself this year,” DeGeer says. “I grew up in southcentral Kansas, in the Gypsum Hills around Medicine Lodge, and cattlemen have received more rain out there than we have in southeastern Kansas during the summer.” This year is one DeGeer is looking forward to closing the book on. He does not relish paying top dollar for feed at the close of the year especially when some will not even be the best quality. “It’s kind of been one of those years,” the veteran cattleman says with a shrug of resignation in his shoulders. “Next year’s going to be better.” John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas.

October 8 in Kansas have ranged widely over the last five years: $2.28 per gallon in 2017, $2.10 per gallon in 2016, $2.32 per gallon in 2015, $3.06 per gallon in 2014 and $3.21 per gallon in 2013. Including the change locally during the past week, prices Sunday were 45.4 cents per gallon higher than a year ago and are 10.2 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. "The national average gas price has broken out of a wellestablished rut, climbing above $2.90 per gallon for the first time since mid-June on rising oil prices ahead of the reinstatement of sanctions against Iran and OPEC failing to pump enough oil to meet robust demand," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "We may see prices continue to lift ahead of the mid-terms, however completely unrelated to the elections, but due to constant threats from an improving economy: higher demand and lower supply is tipping the balance of the oil market and pushing prices higher. We may even soon see $3 per gallon nationally, which would be the first time since October 2014, if oil prices continue to rise."

Donita hosts and wins first place at Bridge As you may have noticed, there was no Bridge Club story in the October 4 issue of The Hermes. The absence of results was due to a gas leak scare at the Senior Center during a game. Players had to leave the premises and were unable to finish. This past week, there was no such scare, and players were relieved to finish their game. Donita Graham hosted the players, furnishing some delicious and seasonal iced cranberry orange cookies. Donita also finished with first place, while Dave Eckert and Midge Greenwood tied for second. Barbara Maerz ended the day with third place. If you would like to join the Bridge Club, please contact Dorothy Hagman at 620544-2945. The group plays every Thursday after the noon meal at the Hugoton Senior Center, 624 S. Main.
Trust in the Lord
L
‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 NASB
iberal secular humanism wants everyone to be happy and healthy and assumes that science and technology will go a long way towards solving problems such as disease and poverty. It also assumes that people are basically good. But a realistic appraisal of the world’s problems, at least from a historical perspective, suggests otherwise. People are prone to doing horrible things, and often use science and technology to advance war, or simply for profit, even at the expense of the environment and the world’s most vulnerable people. Scientific and technological advances often bring with them new, unforeseen problems. Can the human race save itself by its own efforts? Or is redemption possible only through divine intervention? The biblical story of the flood is perhaps relevant here. We can only imagine God shaking his head and asking if giving humans the freedom to do as they wish was ever a good idea, but intervening nonetheless. The arc of history may bend towards justice, but while it is bending, there is a lot of evil and mayhem. Perhaps the moral of the human story is that we can’t rely on our own understanding, or our goodness, because both are deficient in solving the myriad problems plaguing us. Christopher Simon

matically,” said Ken Selzer, CPA, K a n s a s Commissioner of Insurance. “Kansas is Ken Selzer now one of Kansas Insurance only 11 states Commissioner with six or more Class I communities. We appreciate the hard work of fire service organizations across the state in working on this initiative with the department and ISO.” A community’s fire-protection rating comes from ISO, a national company. Most insurance companies of home and business properties in the United States use the ISO’s Public Protection Classification (PPC) system to help determine premiums, said John Boyd, the administrator for the department’s Firefighters Relief Fund. The ISO, based on its information, assigns a classification from 1 to 10 for each fire jurisdiction. Class 1 generally represents superior property fire protection, and Class 10 designates that the area’s fire-suppression program does not meet ISO’s minimum criteria. “With the revised schedule approved by the department, more than 200 communities from the upper end of the ISO scale have moved toward the lower end,” Boyd said. “A lower ISO rating can equate to lower insurance premiums for consumers.” The ISO’s system is just one of the factors insurance companies use in determining premiums. Age of the structure, construction material, and loss history of a structure all affect the base rate for the community. An individual’s rate can be affected by property value, outof-pocket (deductible) amount, multiple policies, security system use, credit
ratings and other factors. Outside of the consumer’s property, the classification ratings for each fire jurisdiction also depend on the following: • Emergency communications systems, including facilities for the public to report fires, staffing, training, certification of the telecommunicators, and facilities for dispatching fire departments. • The jurisdiction’s fire department, including equipment, staffing, training, and geographic deployment of the fire companies. • The water supply system, including the inspection and flow testing of hydrants, and a careful evaluation of the amount of available water compared with the amount needed to suppress fires. • Community efforts to reduce the risk of fire, including fire prevention codes and enforcement, public fire safety education, and a fire investigation program. “The ISO program provides an objective, nationwide standard that helps fire departments in planning and budgeting for facilities, equipment and training,” said Commissioner Selzer. Kansas consumers can find out their property’s specific ISO rating by contacting the fire chief of their local fire district or their local homeowners insurance agent. They can get a snapshot of premiums under ISO ratings by using the Kansas Insurance Department’s online feature, located on the department’s Web site at https://www.ksinsurance.org/ autohome/home/hrins.php . For direct response questions, call the department’s Consumer Assistance Hotline, 800-432-2484, or go online to www.ksinsurance.org to use the Web site chat feature.

What to do if you have a deer-vehicle accident
Mating season and the quest for more secure habitat have deer on the move this time of year, increasing the chances of vehicle collisions. Typically, the greatest number of deer-vehicle crashes are in mid-November when the rut, or mating season, peaks. In addition to the rut, deer are also on the move in mid-fall seeking new food sources and shelter as crops are harvested and leaves fall from trees and shrubs, leaving them less secure than in their summer habitats. “The deer population has stabilized over the last six years, so areas that have had deer likely still have them,” said Levi Jaster, Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism big game biologist. “This time of year, young animals are dispersing to find new places to live and breeding season is approaching. More animals on the move means more of them will be crossing roads, so be extra cautious in areas with good deer habitat." According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, 10,226 - 17 percent - of the 58,834 vehicle crashes reported in 2017 were deer-related (crashes in which a deer and vehicle actually collided or the presence of a deer was a contributing circumstance). Crashes involving deer occur in every part of the state throughout the year. In 2017, Butler County had 438 vehicle-deer crashes, the most of any county, while Sedgwick County followed with 385 vehicle-deer crashes. “In addition to potentially causing human injuries and loss of life, deer collisions often cause significant vehicle damage that can lead to large expenses for the vehicle owner if not properly insured,” said Jennifer Haugh,
Public and Government Affairs Manager for AAA Kansas. “Of the animal strikes reported by AAA Insurance policy holders in 2017, the average cost per claim was more than $4,500.” A spokesman for the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP) cautions drivers to refrain from making exaggerated maneuvers to avoid a deer in the road, which can make the situation worse. “If you are unfortunate enough to have a deer enter the highway in front of your car, it is best to hit the animal and not swerve to avoid it,” said the KHP’s Lieutenant Adam Winters. “Often, we find more serious crashes occur when you swerve to miss the deer, potentially losing control of your vehicle, leaving the road or veering into oncoming traffic.” The following tips can help motorists avoid crashes with deer: • Be especially watchful at dawn and dusk when deer are most active. • If you see one deer, watch for others, as they seldom travel alone. • Reduce speed and be alert near wooded areas or green spaces such as parks and golf courses, and near water sources such as streams and ponds. • Deer crossing signs are placed in areas where high numbers of vehicle/deer crashes have occurred in the past; heed them. • Use bright lights when there is no oncoming traffic and scan the road ahead of you for movement or the reflective eyes of deer. • Don’t swerve to avoid hitting a deer - the most serious crashes occur when motorists swerve and collide with another vehicle or run off the road and hit an obstacle.
• Always wear a seat belt and use the appropriately-fitted child safety seats – they are your best defense should you be involved in a crash. • A long blast on your horn may frighten deer away from your vehicle. The Insurance Information Institute advises against relying on devices such as deer whistles and reflectors, which have not been proven to reduce collisions with animals. If you do strike a deer, here are some additional tips: - Slow down, move your vehicle to the shoulder if possible, and call for law enforcement. KHP dispatch can be reached at *47, Kansas Turnpike at *KTA, and local law enforcement at 911. Make sure you tell the dispatcher if the animal or your vehicle is still in the road. - Do not attempt to remove the animal from the roadway; wait for law enforcement to arrive. Don’t go near a wounded animal. A frightened and wounded animal can be unpredictable. - Turn on your hazard lights and remain buckled up inside your vehicle. You are more protected this way, should a secondary crash occur. - If you must be outside your vehicle, make sure it is as far off the road as possible, and do not stand between two vehicles. Keep children buckled, and in car seats in the vehicle. Be vigilant and watch traffic. - Anyone involved in a vehicle-deer crash resulting in personal injury or property damage that totals $1,000 or more is required to immediately report the crash to the nearest law enforcement agency. Failure to report any traffic crash is a misdemeanor and may result in suspension of driving privileges.
A salvage tag is required to possess a deer carcass or remove any part of the carcass from the crash site. Tags can be issued by KHP troopers, sheriff’s deputies, or KDWPT game wardens.

“Count the Kicks” campaign can help prevent stillbirths More than 200 babies are stillborn each year in Kansas. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is committed to helping families prevent this tragedy, which according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), puts families at greater risk of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, loss of productivity and makes them four times more likely to get divorced. Governor Jeff Colyer has designated October as Stillbirth Awareness Month. The annual awareness campaign comes just after the launch of a new initiative in Kansas to prevent stillbirths, called “Count the Kicks”. “We are partnering with Sadie has experienced 200 books in the 1,000 Books Before health care providers, midKindergarten challenge at the Stevens County Library. Way to go, Sadie!
wives and doulas, county health departments, birthing hospitals, community groups and others to ensure that all women know the importance of counting their baby’s movements daily in the third trimester,” said KDHE Secretary Jeff Andersen. “Throughout October KDHE and partners will been honoring Stillbirth Awareness Month by talking about our efforts to prevent loss due to stillbirth with the ‘Count the Kicks’ campaign.” “Count the Kicks” is a proven stillbirth prevention public health campaign that empowers expectant parents to track their baby’s movements in the third trimester and has the potential to save 60 babies every year. The campaign encourages fami-
lies to contact a physician if they notice a reduction in fetal movement, so medical attention can be sought before it’s too late. The Kansas “Count the Kicks” campaign was launched in August and has proven to be impactful. More than 100 orders for materials have been submitted; more than 1,000 Kansans have visited the “Count the Kicks” website; more than 100 Kansans have "liked" “Count the Kicks” on Facebook; and more than 350 Kansas moms have downloaded the free “Count the Kicks” app to track movements. Through KDHE, providers can order free “Count the Kicks” educational materials at www.countthekicks.org and start using these materi-
als in their practices right away. Moms everywhere can download the FREE “Count the Kicks” app, which is available in the Google Play and iTunes online stores. The app, available in English and Spanish, allows expectant moms to monitor their babies’ movement, record the history, set a daily reminder, count for single babies and twins. The Kansas “Count the Kicks” campaign is supported by KDHE with funding through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), under grant number #B04MC31488 and title Maternal and Child Health Services.
Monarch butterflies begin migration into Mexico Large orange butterflies have been heading south through Kansas these last few weeks. They are monarch butterflies. This migration continues until the weather becomes cold. Most local butterflies and moths have adapted to Kansas winters by laying eggs or overwintering in a cocoon or chrysalis stage. But monarch butterflies never evolved the cold-hardiness to survive harsh North American winters. Populations on the West Coast migrate down to Pacific Grove, Ca. where they survive in milder conditions. East of the Rocky Mountains, our monarch butterflies are heading south by southwest into Mexico where they will overwinter on the hillsides of a few mountains. Their numbers will be so great that some tree limbs will break. Monarch butterfly caterpillars feed on milkweed. The white sap that oozes from many milkweed stems
contains a heart poison that seriously affects vertebrates. Very few animals can feed on milkweed without getting sick. However, monarchs are not harmed by these toxins. Not only are they one of a few insects that can eat milkweed, they keep the poisonous compound in their wings and outer exoskeletons, making monarch larvae and adult butterflies toxic to birds and other predators. Instead of their caterpillars being green to hide from birds, they are brightly striped to advertise their bad taste. And the adults are likewise attractively bright orange. Once a young inexperienced bird tries to eat a monarch, it immediately vomits it back up. The bird has learned to leave the striped caterpillars and big orange butterflies alone. Monarch butterfly development from egg to adult takes about 30 days. Therefore in the spring, the monarchs that move north and lay eggs in the southern U.S. will go through several generations. Those that make it to Canada will have a shorter time to cycle before fall signals it is time for their trip south. Adult monarchs no longer grow, but they need to fuel
their flight south to Mexico. Flower nectar is about 20 percent sugar and monarchs will visit many different flowers. They locate flowers by sight but use taste receptors on their feet to find the nectar. During the summer, adults live for two to five weeks during which they mate and lay eggs. But the last generation that emerges in late summer or early fall must migrate to their overwintering grounds and will live for eight or nine months. Research on monarch migration was conducted by the late Professor Lincoln Brower who passed away this past July, and marked monarch butterflies and then tried to trace their migration and estimate population numbers from recaptures. However, the migration was so large and the marked individuals so few that this was a difficult task. It was Dr. Orley Taylor of the University of Kansas who expanded the research. Having worked on other butterfly research as well as the African honey bee problem, Dr. Taylor turned to the monarch migration puzzle. He enlisted school children and other members of the public nationwide in a massive tagging effort. By enlist-
ing the aid of “citizen scientists,” it is possible to secure better estimates of the monarch population and the factors that influence its migration. This data could not come at a better time, because the monarch migration appears to be declining in the long term. Many factors may be involved, but the use of herbicidal chemicals in the central United States has produced massive strips of farmland with beautiful crops and absolutely no weeds - including milkweed. Monarch Watch is Dr. Taylor’s organization based at K.U. It is not only command central for receiving nationwide data on tagged monarch butterflies, but is involved in helping the public grow milkweed gardens and appreciate the need to leave some portion of roadsides uncut. “Biology of the Monarch Butterfly” authored by Dr. Taylor is a Kansas School Naturalist issue available free upon request. It is also accessible online at emporia. edu/ksn and is available in print in Spanish as well. There is a lot more to learn about these beautiful butterflies flying south right now. Submitted by John Richard Schrock.

Rolla - Richfield - Dermot
Rolla’s Readers earn trip to William Allen White’s home in Emporia It was a foggy morning Friday, October 5 but Rolla’s Readers who had earned the William Allen White trip to Emporia were not concerned with the weather. They were just concerned with getting to Emporia to enjoy all the awesome events planned. The four adult sponsors, Suzanne Murray, Dana Kallenbach, Kim Mauk and Phoebe Brummett, divided the four students Andrea Reza, Samantha Dunn, Jonas Mauk and Kylie Brummett between the vehicles and packed the cars for the overnight trip. Fog continued to plague the drivers until between Dodge City and St. John. The group stopped at “the most beautiful rest area in southwest Kansas” to enjoy a picnic in the park, with the sack lunches everyone brought. The group traveled on

toward Emporia, arriving about 2:30 p.m. at Red Rocks, the historic home of William Allen White. There, the entourage participated in making one-of-a-kind bookmarks and learning all kinds of new facts about William Allen White. The group was joined by another school for the tour of the home of the famous editor. The students were encouraged to ask questions and learn all they could about William Allen’s life. Rolla’s group learned he had an uncanny ability to know when an event was going to be historic or not and he seemed to be able to be at the right place at the right time. William Allen and his wife, Sallie, were parents to two children, a daughter named Mary and a son named William Lindsay. Mary has become known as Peter Pan, since she passed away after a horse riding accident when she was 16. She never grew up, thus the reference to Peter Pan. White left 50 acres of land to the city to construct a park and the city named the park Peter Pan Park in memory of Mary White. The William Allen White Award was the first Children’s Book Award of its kind when it began. Children from across the state read books chosen by a committee and then the children vote for the winning authors. There are two divisions, third through fifth grade level and sixth through eighth grade. The chosen authors for 2018 were Lynda Mullaly Hunt, author of “Fish in a Tree” for third through fifth grade and Mary Downing Hahn for “Took” for sixth through eighth grade.
The Rolla group decided since the weather had finally cleared and it was beautiful to take the opportunity to play at Peter Pan Park before supper. The park was beautiful and had new playground equipment enjoyed by all the children. After supper at Pizza Ranch, the group gathered at the rec center with various other schools for some much needed activity time and friend making. About 8:30 p.m., the two chosen authors arrived for a question-andanswer session with the kids staying at the rec center. The authors also kindly took time to sign a few autographs and pose for photos. Rolla’s students staked their claim on prime real estate in the main room, closest to the front door and the bathrooms and were ready to settle in for the night. They were joined by at least two other schools, some of which were not quite so ready for rest. Saturday began very early for those who had not garnered much sleep but all were ready for the excitement of the day, unhampered by the heavy deluge of rain that was falling. With three umbrellas and joyful spirits, the group went to breakfast and then to Emporia State University student union to participate in all the wonderful activities. Students watched performances by the Emporia State Theatre majors of both books. Then they stood in the line to get another autograph and a better photo. Robotics competitions were happening, as well as some arts and crafts events. There was a “Scrabble” competition and a dance party, selfies, Create a Chapbook,
Kahoot game, Zoo Docents, quiet reading room, and Scary Book Room. Rolla’s kids took in as much as they possibly could before the awards ceremony for the chosen authors. The awards ceremony provided each school a chance to cheer and introduce themselves to the crowd. Elkhart was recognized as traveling the greatest distance, beating Rolla by a mere 17 miles! After the ceremony, the Rolla group went to eat lunch where Vanessa Reza, a 2018 RHS graduate, arrived to surprise her younger sister, Andrea. Vanessa is currently at KU working on a degree in education. Andrea was very much surprised and overwhelmed with emotions at spending time with her sister. The rain caused a change in plans and the group traveled back through Wichita to play at the Wichita Sports Forum on the trampolines for an hour. The group also paid a quick visit to 2015 graduate, Katie Murray, and visited her new shop in Wichita. Katie recently graduated from WSU and has a wonderful entrepreneur business located at Maple and Maize roads. The tired group arrived in Rolla about 11:00 p.m. and everyone, though exhausted and ready for a night in his/her own bed, stated what a great time was had. The school is extremely grateful for Mrs. Murray and her dedication to promoting this wonderful trip, for 11 years! All the third through eighth grades are working toward earning this trip for next year!

Moscow wins Homecoming 66-21
Last Friday was Moscow High School’s Fall 2018 Homecoming. The evening went well, crowning Luis Jimenez king and Morgan Lahey queen. The football team defeated the visiting Rolla Pirates to finish out a great night! The Wildcats won 66-21 over Rolla. Moscow High School faced Ashland Friday, September 28. Austin had an incredible night with 373 yards rushing and 49 receiving for a total of 422 yards. He also had five touchdowns for the game. Adan led the team in tackles with 18 followed by Gerardo with 13. Coach Bret Harp commented, “We played a really good game. We did have two touchdowns called back and four turnovers, and we only lost by three points. It could have gone either way, as we lost 40-43. I'm very impressed with our team. We are still learning the six-man game and are still having to learn to adjust to new things. I'm proud of our guys and the way they are playing together. Our team effort is super! MHS’s JV Wildcats then faced Ingalls JV Monday in an exciting game. The ‘Cats took seven players and only played Adan on offense, so the rest played the whole game with limited substitutions.
Coach Harp said, “The guys found out what they were made of. They stuck with it, even when they were tired and wanted to give in, and we won the game fairly easily.” Offensively, Adan’s touchdowns came due to a line
that really did a great job of opening holes for him. Moscow’s defense was good enough to win, and keeps looking to improve each game. Coach Harp remarked, “I was very happy with the effort and the desire to do what it took to win.”
JJ Gonzalez kicks the ball for two points during the six-man game against their opponents Friday night.

HMS seventh grade finishes regular season with home game Tuesday The seventh grade teams finished up their last season game at home October 2 playing Ulysses and Eisenhower. Both A and B teams lost to Eisenhower in two sets. The seventh grade “B” team lost to Ulysses where they struggled with their serving and moving on the court. The seventh grade “A” team fought hard to get a total of 17 points in the second set, but couldn't push through to get the win against Eisenhower. The team lost 9-25 and 17-25. “We went to the locker room and talked over what we needed to do to beat Ulysses and how we had to have our serves and contact with the ball and setting it up.” said Coach Nelson.
The team came out stronger with Ulysses and won in three sets, 21-25, 2519 and 15-12. The girls were pumped up with the win and knew that they had to play harder and talk more on the court as a team to get these wins. The League tourney is October 6 in Goodland playing Ulysses, Scott City, Holcomb, Goodland and Colby. Coach Nelson and Coach Craig have two more practices to get them ready for Saturday. “We are throwing in more serving drills and setting the ball up practice for them to be ready. We hope for good things to happen at the tournament!” concluded Coach Nelson.

LOOKING BACK
The Hugoton Hermes | Thursday, October 11, 2018 |
Memories from yesteryear Clebert and Sarah Ann Lilly By Zola Lilly Nell Clebert and Sarah Ann Lilly bought a relinquishment in Stevens County in 1905 and moved with their three children, Zola, Donny and Chrissy to the relinquishment in 1906. The land had to be proved up so they built a one-room house of ship-lap. This was built on the east edge of the quarter. The barn was built in a bank at the edge of the property, half in the ground and half above. It was called a “bank barn”. This housed the two or three cows and a team of horses. There was no well. Water had to be hauled by team and wagon from the Hugoton well. Donny and I went to Hugoton to school. I think we rode with the Webbers who lived across the road north of us. I finished the eighth grade in Hugoton, then went on to Normal that summer. Mr. Bill Blackburn was my teacher. Normal teacher was Cliff Bell. We got our milk from the Webbers. I remember walking over to get a gallon every day. The Christophers lived northwest of us. They had a big family. I can’t remember all their names, but Ella was a very close friend of mine. We were known as the “twin
sisters” and later, because of a few antics, that was changed to “sin twisters”. Cliff Bell had two horses Bertha Bell and I used to ride. One was a big black horse. Bertha didn’t like the big horse so I rode it while she rode the pony. The pony couldn’t keep up so I’d ride a ways and stop and wait for her to catch up. Bertha had a sister who lived in Guymon so we rode those horses clear to Guymon to visit her. We stayed overnight and came back to Hugoton. While we were gone, a circus had come to town. There were some elephants with the circus, and the horse got scared and took off. I had a wide skirt that went out over the horse, and it was going up and down with every jump. He went through town on high with me clawing leather all the way. When he made the turn to go to Cliff’s house, I was hanging on for dear life. Ed Joslin had the prettiest pair of ponies. He’d say, “You girls can have the horses. Take them for a ride.” We’d go out to the blowout northeast of Hugoton. There was a blowout northeast and another one southeast of town. Once we got caught in a dust storm. It was terrible!! Ed Joslin had a real estate

office and also managed the small post office. I recall “Star Route” picked up mail there enroute from Liberal. There was no train whatever at that time. I went into town to get our mail. I remember the Kimzey family lived there. Tom Moorhead had a grocery store west of what is now Main Street. At that time, the streets ran east and west except for a branch. There were four or five Morgan brothers there at that time. I used to love to watch them dance, but if you ever got in a quadrille with them, you’d better stay on your feet! Mother and we kids stayed in Stevens County on the preemption while Father was in Pratt County. It was a heavy burden for both parents, especially mother, but we survived. To get the preemption, we had to pay so much and stay for eighteen months, I think. Anyway, Dad came out as much as he could. Mother bought the quarter just west of the preemption for a little over $600.00. Both the preemption and this quarter are still in the family.

History from the Hermes by Ruthie Winget
Thursday, October 12, 1978 The building which formerly housed St. Helen Catholic Church, minus its belfry, was moved across town this week to its new foundation on Main Street. The belfry was removed Friday of the week before and then the building itself was slowly rolled down Jackson Street. At the corner of Jackson and Fourth Street, it was stalled for a while because of a broken support beam. The beam, which had been placed through the building by the movers to support it during the move, was welded and the rest of the journey was completed the following morning. The building, owned by Dana Swan, is to be used for recreation and food service. Thursday , October 9, 1958 Stevens County has been included in the new state’s
program for road improvement. On K-25, eleven miles of subgrade modification and asphaltic surface treatment from Feterita south to the state line in the amount of $60,000 has been approved. Friday, October 8, 1948 The Stevens County Fair and Gascapade was regarded by local citizens as one of the finest celebrations in the southwest. Along with their many exhibits, the various gas companies entered a lot of equipment in the Gascapade parade. The Gascapade parade was about an hour long and was estimated at about five miles in length. One of the main features of the celebration was the horse show Friday and Saturday nights. Many fine show horses as well as trained pleasure horses were exhibited. The Flying Farmers and
sportsman pilots came to Hugoton to take part in the celebration. Friday, October 19, 1938 Monday the water came up in the Cimarron River and for awhile, it looked like all the bridges were doomed to go. County Engineer Crawford went to the Stevens County bridge with a bunch of men and after dumping a lot of rock and fencing and other junk, he succeeded in saving the bridge. Just where all the water came from all at once is not known, but there must have been a big rain somewhere about the head of the Cimarron. 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.
This building, which was formerly the St. Helen Catholic Church, is moved to its new home on
Main Street. This is a big chore to move such a large building across Hugoton.
Stevens County Gas and Historical Museum Curator Stanley McGill brought in this postcard that is displayed at the Museum. The card displays an early scene of Main Street of Hugoton.
The Stevens County Gas and Historical Museum is open Monday through Friday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.

Going to KU to unlock my mind Rolla History from David Stout Although at first glance my first week at KU would have nothing to do with what life in Rolla was like, there were a few incidents within my first week left over from my 18 years of living in Rolla which illustrated very clearly what it was like to be a country boy from Rolla in the fall of 1963. It’s been said you can take the boy out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the boy, and these following little snippets clearly shine some truth there. Even though the dorms would not be open for check-in until Monday afternoon, September 9, I left the day before - Sunday - to stay overnight at my grandparents’ home in Sylvia, about half-way between Rolla and Lawrence, about thirty minutes west of Hutchinson. Sylvia was a small town, about the same size as Rolla, towns where everybody knew everybody else. As I explained in one of my previous stories, in such tiny towns nobody ever locked their houses, or even took the keys out of their cars for that matter. Everybody trusted everyone else. When I got to Grandma and Grandpa Anderson’s house, I unloaded only what I would need for the night and left everything else in the car. Although I knew it would be safe to leave the car unlocked for the night, I thought I’d better get in the
habit of locking the car because the next day I would be in the “big city” of Lawrence and I wouldn’t dare leave the keys in the car from then on. The next morning, Monday, I had breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa and said goodbye to Grandpa as he left for work at the local Santa Fe railroad depot where he was the station agent. Depending on which route I took, Lawrence was about a three to four hour drive from Sylvia, and since the dorm didn’t open up until 1:00 p.m. for check-in, there wasn’t any need for me to leave before 9:00 a.m. at the very earliest. I took my time getting ready, chatting with Grandma, lingering around the house. Finally, it was time for me to be on my way. I picked up my few things and headed for the car. When I tried to open the car door, it was locked. OH! Of course! I had forgotten. The new deal. Always lock your car now. Very soon you’ll no longer be living out in the country. I confidently reached in my pocket for the car keys – but they weren’t there. Did I leave them inside the house? I went back inside to look for them. Not there. Where were they? My heart began pounding. I went back to the car. Cupping my hands over my eyes, I peered through the
window and spotted them, still in the ignition. I had learned only one-half of the “Lock Your Car” equation “lock the doors”. I hadn’t yet learned the first half of the equation, “…but before you lock the doors, Stupid, remove your keys from the car.” Duhhhhh! And I was soon to be a University of Kansas student? Obviously, I had a lot to learn about life in the big city. Grandma called Grandpa at work and he came home to help me. Being a real handyman, he simply bent a coat hanger, fished the keys out of the ignition, and pulled them to freedom – and into my sweaty palms. My “big city” education had just begun, beginning with the unlocking of my mind (not to mention the unlocking of my car), but I hadn’t even left lil’ ole Sylvia yet! I thanked Grandpa and said goodbye to him – again. Then off I went, off to learn how to open more doors, off to unlock my mind, but hopefully, without the hypertensive effect. This wasn’t the only time I locked my keys in my car – it was just the first time of several. As I said, you can take the boy out of the country, but it takes quite some time before you can get the country out of the boy.

Industrial Hemp Seminar at KSU October 16 K-State is hosting a seminar entitled “Industrial Hemp as a Modern U.S. Commodity Crop” at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, October 16 in Throckmorton Hall, room 1018, on the K-State campus. Speaker for the meeting will be David W. Williams, Ph.D., professor of agronomy and director of the University of Kentucky’s Robinson Center for Appalachian Resource Sustainability. Williams has led the industrial hemp agronomic research efforts at UK since 2014. Research at the Robinson Center has included agronomic and production management for fiber, oil and CBD production. Williams will share his experiences and give his view of current knowledge gaps in the area of industrial hemp research and production. The event is free to the public. Throckmorton Hall is located at 1712 Claflin Road in Manhattan. Soybean Green Stem Syndrome Soybean production and interest in raising soybeans has increased in the last few years in our western counties. Regardless if you are a veteran soybean producer or a first-timer, you may have observed a situation toward the end of the season known as green stem syndrome where the bean pods are brown and ready for harvest while the stems remain green. Typically as soybeans ma-
ture, the leaves turn yellow, and or brown, and drop from the plant as the bean pods mature. In a normal season, pods and stems mature and dry down together. K-State agronomist Ignacio Ciampitti believes green stem syndrome is most likely caused by a combination of early-season stress, low pod counts and improved lateseason growing conditions. In a normal situation, soybeans will accumulate carbohydrates and proteins in the leaves and stems up until seeds begin to form. The leaves provide the photosynthates needed by the newly formed seeds as they begin filling. As the seeds continue to get bigger, their need for photosynthates will eventually become greater than what the leaves can provide through photosynthesis. As this occurs, the plants will move carbohydrates and nutrients from the leaves and stems into the seeds. This movement can be referred to as ‘cannibalization” of the vegetative tissue (rapid senescence and defoliation), but is a normal process. This eventually causes leaves to turn yellow and drop, and stems to turn brown and die. The fewer the seeds due to early stresses on the plant, the lower the demand for photosynthates produced by the leaves and stems. Thus, the leaves and stems are
never cannibalized for their carbohydrates and protein. As a result, the leaves and stems will remain green longer than normal, even up through physiological maturity of the beans. Late season rainfall can make the problem worse by keeping plants alive after the seeds have dried down. Eventually, freezing temperatures will kill the plants and dry down the stems. Otherwise, the use of a desiccant herbicide to kill the plant is a viable option. The producer just has to decide how long he or she can wait before harvesting without suffering yield loss due to shattering or excessive seed dry down. Harvesting a field when the stems and/or leaves are still green can be done but agronomists recommend to harvest slowly and to be sure sickles are sharp and the equipment is in good condition.
