HHS grads earn American FFA Degree

Karessa Nordyke

Nicholas Goode Hugoton FFA members Karessa Nordyke and Nicholas Goode will be receiving their American FFA Degree at the eighty-seventh annual National FFA Convention in Louisville, Ky., later this month. They are the first Hugoton FFA members to ever receive this prestigious award, given to less than one half of one percent of the 610,000 FFA members nationwide.

Only the very best are eligible to even apply for this Degree and their application goes through a rigorous certification process at the Chapter, State and National levels. In Kansas, only 55 out of 9200 members are to receive this award. Nicholas and Karessa will be presented the American Degree

Saturday, November 1.

To earn this award, an FFA member must have earned at least $10,000 from their Supervised Agricultural Experience Program (SAE), previously qualified for the Chapter and State Degrees, worked at least 100 hours of community service during their FFA membership, have a record of outstanding Leadership skills, and have graduated from high school at least one year prior to the receiving of the degree.

Karessa’s SAE is Home and Community Development. She repaired/rebuilt houses and sheds here in Hugoton for hire and for free for the elderly, and she was also involved in several new construction projects

SWKROA encourages members to submit comments to EPA The Southwest Kansas Royalty Owners Association is urging its membership and other land and mineral owners to submit written comments electronically, or by hard copy to the EPA on the United States Environmental Protection Agency – U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed rule to dramatically expand the federal Clean Water Act jurisdiction over so-called “Waters of the U.S.” House Appropriations Committee Chairman Representative Harold Rogers of Kentucky is quoted as saying the EPA’s proposal is, “The biggest land grab in the history of the world.”

As the American Farm Bureau Federation states: The proposed rule effectively eliminates any constraints the term “navigable” imposes on the Corps and EPA’s CWA Continued to page 7

Abengoa will host Grand Opening Friday Abengoa Bioenergy Biomass of Kansas LLC will be hosting their Grand Opening Friday, October 17, at 9:30 a.m. The event will begin with a tour of the brand new cellulosic ethanol plant, located at 1043 Road P in Hugoton.

Speakers at the event will include U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Dr. Ernest Moniz, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback and Abengoa CEO Manuel Sanchez Ortega.

Abengoa’s arrival was first announced in the August 9, 2007, issue of The Hugoton Hermes. At the time, the project was estimated to cost $300 million and was predicted to produce 30 million gallons of ethanol each year using cellulosic materials, such as corn stover.

As of July 2014, there are 29 cellulosic ethanol plants in the United States, eight of which are operational, 15 proposed

plants, and six plants under construction—including Hugoton’s. States currently producing cellulosic ethanol include Missouri, Louisiana, Tennessee, Virginia, Iowa, Florida, New York and Oregon. Kansas will soon join that list, using crop residue. Other biomass used includes wood sugars, energy grasses, switchgrass and corn stover, mixed hardwood, and other waste materials.

Concerned about Ebola?

Chief Medical Officer for KU answers eight crucial questions Lee Norman, MD, chief medical officer for The University of Kansas Hospital, advisor to Homeland Security and bio-security advisor to the state of Kansas predicted the first case of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) would reach the U.S. by the end of September. Now that it has arrived, Dr. Norman says communication and calm are important.

He answers eight key questions: Q: Is screening at overseas’ airports working? Can it be expected to work?

A: No and no. The reasons include patients might not be symptomatic, they might be in the incubation period, they might lie about how they feel to get out of the country and they could be sick from something else such as malaria.

Q: Can we logistically screen at our United States borders?

A: In theory yes, but it is not very practical for the same reasons above. It will be hard to train those who would be screening at the level of sophistication

that could discern mildly ill people. It is important that people who have been traveling to infected areas tell their health care providers about their travel, and it’s important for health care workers to ask people who present with symptoms about their recent travel.

Q: Ten thousand travelers per week come here from West Africa and probably more are coming in via interval cities that we don't even know about. Do we need to restrict flights and travelers from coming here?

A: There is no restriction now, but it has been discussed as a possibility should the outbreak become more global.

Q: How long will it be before law-andorder is restored sufficiently to actually have a true situation assessment “over there”?

A: Some provinces in those countries are already secure, but other areas are still in considerable turmoil and will Continued to page 3

Consumer Alert

from the Office of Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger

Driving defensively during the Kansas deer season is a must, according to Sandy Praeger, Commissioner of Insurance.

“The reality of driving on Kansas roads and highways this time of year is the possible encounter with a deer,” Commissioner Praeger said. “And that encounter could result in costly vehicle repairs.”

A report from State Farm Insurance, using Federal Highway Administration data, said that Kansas has the 22nd-highest frequency in deer-vehicle mishaps in the United States.

The chance of a driver having a collision with a deer in Kansas this fall is one in 137.

The average property damage from a deer-vehicle collision is estimated at $3,888, a jump of nearly $400 from last year’s estimate, according to the current State Farm study.

The top five states where a driver is most likely to hit a deer

are West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Montana, Iowa and South Dakota. Overall, drivers in the United States are three percent more likely to hit a deer in the next 12 months than they were last year.

Mid-fall and mid-spring are likely times of the year for deer to be seen on Kansas roadways, because of breeding habits during the fall and growth of vegetation during the spring.

Sunrise and sunset are the times deer are most active.

Commissioner Praeger urges Kansas motorists to check with their insurance agents to find out the type of vehicle accident damage coverage their policies have. Then, if a deer accident occurs, a policyholder should contact his or her insurance agent or company quickly to begin the claims process.

When an accident occurs, motorists should consider the following: • If you do hit a deer and are

uncertain whether the animal is dead, keep your distance. You might be dealing with an injured, wild animal with sharp hooves.

• If the deer is blocking the roadway and poses a danger to other motorists, you should immediately report the incident to the local law enforcement agency.

• Deer accidents are usually covered under a person’s comprehensive coverage, not collision coverage.

To help avoid deer-vehicle collisions, Commissioner Praeger suggests the following: • Stay alert, always wear your seat belt and drive at a safe, sensible speed for conditions.

• Watch for the reflection of deer eyes and for deer silhouettes on the shoulder of the road.

• Do not rely exclusively on devices such as deer whistles, deer fences and reflectors to deter deer.

• When driving at night, use high-beam headlights when there is no opposing traffic. The high beams will illuminate the eyes of deer on or near a roadway.

• Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path, but stay in your lane. Many serious accidents occur when drivers swerve to avoid a deer and hit other vehicles or lose control of their cars. Potentially, you will risk less injury by hitting the deer.

• If you see one deer, it is likely there are more close by.

• If the deer stays on the road, stop on the shoulder, put on your hazard lights and wait for the deer to leave the roadway; do not try to go around the deer while it is on the road.

“Defensive driving is always important, but this time of year it’s extremely important,” Commissioner Praeger said. “Do everything you can to protect yourself and your family while

John Peachey of Phoenix, Az. Together Marilou and James were blessed with two children, Merle Anne Ipson Smith and Roger Kyle Ipson.

In turn, she had four wonderful grandchildren, Kinsey Ipson, Mark Smith, Ellen Smith and Matthew Smith.

She and Howard left Hugoton in 1975 and spent time together in Lafayette, La.; Farmington, N.M.; Houston, Tx.; Abilene, Tx. and Ashland, Ky. before Howard’s retirement in 1993. They settled in the Phoenix suburb of Surprise, Az. Marilou’s greatest joys were found in spending time with her husband and ensuring her children and grandchildren obtained their education.

A wonderful woman living a wonderful life, she always considered herself the luckiest person in the world. In her retirement, she was devoted to her dog Oscar.

Marilou was preceded in death by her parents.

Survivors include her husband of 58 years; her sisters; brother; her children; and all of her grandchildren.

Look out kids, she’s watching you full time now!

A private memorial service is planned for October 25, 2014 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Coyote Lakes Neighborhood Recreation Center in Surprise. In lieu of flowers, please do something charitable. Cards or letters may be sent to 11661 West Yucca Court, Surprise, Az. 85378.

Make twice the impact donating blood with Red Cross’s “Alyx” machine

Hospital Board

You may already know about the ongoing need for blood and the importance of your donation through the American Red Cross. Whole blood donations contain red blood cells, platelets, plasma and white blood cells. Red blood cells are the most frequently used blood component and are needed by almost every type of patient requiring transfusion.

If you meet certain criteria, double red cell donation allows you to safely donate two units of red cells during one appointment as an automated donation process. This process is called Alyx Component Collection System. This process takes a little longer to donate, but American Red Cross will be able to harvest twice as much red blood cells than the normal process.

How does Alyx work? Alyx uses a type of technology called apheresis (pronounced “a-fure-siss”). Rather than collecting the blood directly into a blood bag, the donor’s blood first flows into the Alyx machine, which separates the blood’s components. Red blood cells are collected in a blood bag, and the remaining components are returned to the donor. The donor also receives a small amount of sterile saline fluid to

This will showcase the Manor and allow networking with

make up for the blood volume loss. The donation takes about twice as long as a whole blood donation (about 20-25 minutes).

Why should I donate on Alyx instead of giving whole blood?

Double your impact: One Alyx donation collects twice as many red cells.

More blood: Provides more of the most critically needed blood types required for patients.

Reduce reminder calls: Alyx donors can donate every four months.

Double the credit: An Alyx donation counts as two credits for “Go for the Gold”.

Feel better: Alyx uses a smaller needle, and fluid is replaced back into the body, reducing the chance of not feeling well after donating.

Why are red blood cells so important? More than 14 million pints of red blood cells are transfused annually in the United States. Patients who need red blood cells include trauma patients, people undergoing surgery, cancer patients, and those with anemia (including sickle-cell anemia).

American Red Cross will be in Hugoton again at Saint Helen Catholic Church in January of 2015.

Eric Morgan donates blood October 7 while the blood mobile is in Hugoton. The staff is using the Alyx Component Collection System on him which collects double the red blood cells than the normal process. After using this process, Eric will have to wait four months before he is eligible to donate again.

Q: Just how much underreporting and "under-resourcing" is there in West Africa?

How much does that drive forecasting and, ultimately, response and planning?

A: We know that resources are insufficient at this point and the under reporting is significant. The next two weeks, with increased staff in the area, should be quite telling in terms of the amount of under reporting.

Q: Do we really have sufficient public health resources to investigate contacts of cases that crop up here (understanding that the one case in Senegal had 76 contacts requiring investigation)?

A: As long as the number of cases are small, probably.

Of critical importance is whether any secondary cases develop in the U.S., which is

when someone is exposed here and gets sick.

Q: Is public health underfunded?

A: Public health is chronically underfunded, and it is pointed out during times of epidemics and pandemics how woefully underfunded.

Q: What has The University of Kansas Hospital done to prepare for a possible case of EVD? A: The University of Kansas Hospital began preparing early on for the possibility of EVD reaching the U.S. A group of nurses volunteered for special training and additional personal protective equipment (PPE) was purchased. The level of protection and response at the hospital is more than required.

Kansans dispose of almost four tons of unused medicine Kansans safely disposed of nearly four tons of unused medicines during last month’s National Drug TakeBack Day, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said October 8.

Kansas law enforcement officers collected 7,452 pounds of medicines at 105 locations throughout the state during last month’s

event, according to a report from the federal Drug Enforcement Agency. Law enforcement agencies turn the drugs they collect over to the DEA, who safely destroys the medications.

“The ongoing efforts by Kansans to properly dispose of unneeded medications continue to make our state safer,” Schmidt said.

Since the semi-annual event began in 2010, Kansans have safely destroyed 63,666 pounds of medications.

Unused prescriptions can be turned in year-round at many local law enforcement locations. Kansans should contact their local sheriff’s office or police department for more information.

Senator Moran to CMS: Consider rural impact before finalizing health care policies Senator Jerry Moran recently expressed concern to the Obama Administration that federal regulations for health care facilities do not adequately consider their impact on rural communities. A bipartisan group of 33 other senators joined Senator Moran in this letter to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Director Marilyn Tavenner.

In the letter, senators pressed CMS for details about how the agency is incorporating rural health care experts in the regulatory rule-making process. Noting federal health regulations frequently do not adequately re-

flect the reality of health delivery in rural areas, the senators called on CMS to explain its process for accounting for the rural impact of such regulations as well as its engagement with rural health stakeholders during rulemaking.

“We remain concerned these policy decisions do not reflect the reality of providing care in rural communities, and we request additional details on these consultation efforts in advance of future rulemaking,” the letter reads. “The proportion of elderly rural Americans continues to grow, and even small policy changes or incremental payment

adjustments have a significant impact on access to care in rural areas. Medicare beneficiaries should be able to obtain care within their own communities when possible, and we are committed to ensuring federal policies recognize and incorporate the unique challenges rural providers face.”

Eagle’s varsity football team delivers a defeat to Southwestern Heights The Hugoton Eagle’s varsity football team traveled to Southwestern Heights last Friday night, where they stampeded over the Mustangs with a 33-9 victory.

This win is wind beneath the Eagles’ wings after coming off of a four-game losing streak, bringing them to a record of 2-4.

The game was a better matchup than the final score might indicate. Both offensives moved the ball for more than 300 yards, and both suffered offensive drawbacks, the Eagles in the form of penalties and the Mustangs with turnovers. The Eagles were called for a total of 12 penalties throughout the game for a loss of over 100 yards. The Mustangs were

unable to capitalize on this as they fumbled the ball back over to the Eagles a total of four times, and also threw four interceptions.

Ulises Armendariz gave an incredible performance for the night on both sides of the ball. Offensively, Armendariz carried the ball seven times for 93 yards and two touchdowns.

Defensively, he caught three interceptions and had seven tackles, plus five other assisted tackles.

This week, the Eagles will compete on their home turf against Pratt. There are three games left in the regular season, the next two being at home, and the final regular season game will be at Holcomb Halloween night.

Two HMS cross country runners bring home medals from Dodge City Invitational Eagle middle school cross country runners gave an impressive performance at the Mariah Hills Golf Course for the Dodge City Invitational October 7. Two competitors brought home medals despite running on a course that was described by Coach Bobbi Ferguson as being “…the most difficult that these athletes have run so far.” Seventh grader Toby McClure finished with a fourth place medal, and eighth grader Kara Rodriguez with an eighth place medal.

A “Kix Award” was given to three athletes following the meet: Kara Rodriguez, Bryan Gonzalez, and Jenna Martin.

This honor is bestowed upon the athletes who go “above and beyond” during practice and meets, and also display a

positive team attitude at all times.

Ferguson went on to say that she was, “…very impressed with how the kids handled running the hills [of Mariah Hills Golf Course in Dodge City].” She is optimistic moving forward and believes all the runners will be achieving personal best times during the last week of the season.

The seventh graders who participated in the one mile run were: Faith Degollado, with a time of 7:07, Stacy Rodriguez with a time of 7:18, Jenna Martin with a time of 7:39, Madison Holt with a time of 7:40, Gabriela Lopez with a time of 7:52, and Vanessa Fedelin with a time of 8:40. Medalist McClure finished with a time of 6:26.

Upland game bird season starts November 8 Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism is already working hard to plan for the 2015 fishing season. Public hearing portion of meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m.

It may be prime hunting season in fall, but staff at the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) are already working hard to plan for the 2015 fishing season. Several regulatory changes pertaining to traditional rod-and-reel fishing, as well as non-traditional forms such as floatlining, will be heard and voted on at the Oct. 16 Kansas Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Commission meeting in Salina. The meeting will be at Martenelli’s Restaurant, 158 S. Sante Fe, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and reconvene at 6:30 p.m. for the evening session.

The afternoon session will begin with time for public comments on non-agenda items, followed by a general discussion period. Topics covered in the general discussion include Secretary’s remarks regarding agency and state fiscal status; an update on the 2015 legislature; an update on Tourism Division activities; a series of regulations pertaining to antelope and elk; permanent big game regulations; and a series of deer regulations.

Workshop topics for the afternoon session, which will be discussed for potential regulatory action at a future meeting, include general fishing provisions, boating identification numbers and decals, and vehicle permits.

The commission will recess at 5 p.m., then reconvene at 6:30 p.m. at the same location to discuss any remaining workshop items and begin the

public hearing. Public hearing items to be discussed and voted on during the evening session include eliminating the need for a permit to floatline fish; increasing the mesh size allowed in seines and cast nest used for taking baitfish; certain creel, size, and possession limits; other special fishing provisions; camping and utility fees at Sandhills State Park; threatened and endangered species; and general provisions related to nongame species.

Time will be available in both the afternoon and evening sessions for public comment on non-agenda items. If necessary, the commission will reconvene at the same location at 9 a.m., Oct. 17, to complete any unfinished business.

Commercial-free live video and audio streaming of the meeting will be broadcast through ksoutdoors.com.

SWKROA Continued from page 1 [Clean Water Act] jurisdiction by granting regulatory control over virtually all waters, assuming a breadth of authority Congress has not authorized. The list of waters deemed “non-navigable” is exceptionally narrow, providing that few, if any waters, fall outside federal CWA jurisdiction. Such a shift in policy means that EPA and the Corps could regulate any or all waters found within a state, no matter how small or seemingly unconnected to a federal interest. Congress should not permit the agency to adopt such an approach.

SWKROA joins the Royalty Owners & Producers Educational Coalition (ROPE) and the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) along with other agriculture, construction, energy, housing, and royalty owner groups in urging its members and others to voice their concerns over the proposed changes to ex-

pand the Clean Water Act. Comments to the proposal must be submitted by Monday, October 20, 2014.

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS

By Rich Fowler, Social Security Operations Supervisor in Dodge City, KS LET’S TALK ABOUT MEDICARE October is “Talk About Prescriptions Month” and marks the beginning of this year’s Medicare open enrollment period. It’s the perfect time to talk about Medicare prescriptions and the Extra Help available from Social Security. Newly eligible Medicare beneficiaries and current beneficiaries who are considering changes to their Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage) plan, should act now. The Medicare open enrollment period runs from October 15 to December 7.

The Medicare Part D prescription drug plan is available to all Medicare beneficiaries to help with the costs of medications. Joining a Medicare prescription drug plan is voluntary, and participants pay an additional monthly premium for the prescription drug coverage.

While all Medicare beneficiaries can participate in the Medicare Part D prescription drug plan, some people with limited income and resources may be eligible for Extra Help to pay for monthly premiums, annual deductibles, and prescription co-payments. The Extra Help is estimated to be worth about $4,000 per year. Many Medicare beneficiaries qualify for these big savings and don’t even know it.

To figure out whether you are eligible for the Extra Help, Social Security needs to know your income and the value of any savings, investments, and real estate (other than the home you live in). To qualify, you

must be receiving Medicare and have: • Income limited to $17,235 for an individual or $23,265 for a married couple living together. Even if your annual income is higher, you still may be able to get some help with monthly premiums, annual deductibles, and prescription copayments. Some examples where your income may be higher include if you or your spouse: - Support other family members who live with you; - Have earnings from work; or - Live in Alaska or Hawaii; and • Resources limited to $13,440 for an individual or $26,860 for a married couple living together. Resources include such things as bank accounts, stocks, and bonds. We do not count your house or car as resources.

You can complete an easyto-use online application or get more information by visiting www.socialsecurity.gov/ medicare. To apply for the Extra Help by phone or have an application mailed to you, call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800325-0778) and ask for the Application for Extra Help with Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Costs (SSA-1020).

And if you would like more information about the Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Program, visit www.medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1800-633-4227; TTY 1-877-4862048).

While we’re on the subject of

open seasons, the open enrollment period for qualified health plans under the Affordable Care Act is November 15 to February 15. Learn more about it at www.healthcare.gov.

This Medicare open enrollment season, while you search for the Medicare prescription drug plan that best meets your needs—see if you qualify for the Extra Help through Social Security. That’s a winning prescription worth talking about.

Kansas Deptartment of Agriculture to allow electronic documentation In response to requests from industry, as well as to provide modern, efficient service, the Kansas Department of Agriculture (KDA) has modified the documentation requirements for producers and agribusinesses governed by the Kansas Pesticide Law. “We have heard from industry and responded to their request. This is a common sense change that will allow agribusinesses and those who apply pesticides to provide an electronic version of documentation, rather than be required to submit paper copies,” Secretary of Agriculture Jackie McClaskey said.

“We understand the challenges of doing business and want to make sure our Kansas companies can operate as efficiently as possible.

That includes making sure our agency is as responsive and flexible as possible.”

The new policy will allow paper, electronic or a combination of documentation forms to meet the requirements as set forth in Kansas Pesticide Law. For more information on this policy change, please contact the KDA Pesticide and Fertilizer program at 785-564-6688 or online at https://agriculture.ks.gov/di visions-programs/pesticidefertilizer.

Guest Column Dear Kansans, Nearly a year ago, in recognition of the critical importance water serves in our state, Governor Sam Brownback challenged the Kansas Water Office and Kansas Department of Agriculture to develop a 50 year vision for our water supply. His message was clear we needed to get out across the state and listen to stakeholders, and we did just that. We have visited with more than 12,000 Kansans, attended more than 250 meetings and now are preparing to release the Kansas Water Vision at the Governor’s Water Conference early next month.

As we prepare for the conference, the focus is now on the development of the second draft of The Vision for the Future of Water in Kansas. It is important for Kansans to be updated on the process and to have an opportunity for feedback. The feedback we’ve received on the Preliminary Discussion Draft release in July has been phenomenal. As a result of the input we’ve received, we are planning a number of revisions. A preview of some of those changes includes: •In the Preliminary Discussion Draft, examples of statewide and regional goals were included as means of generating discussion. Did they ever! As most know, our water resources are diverse across the state and the goals we strive to meet must be diverse as well, and applicable to

the water resource conditions of the area. As a result, we will be including a goal setting process in the second draft to replace the existing examples. We will enlist the help of the Kansas Water Authority in developing regional water resources goals, working in concert with stakeholders.

The Vision and Mission will remain statewide in nature, but the goals will be regional.

•While some aspects of the Kansas Water Appropriation Act may be considered for change through the normal legislative and regulatory processes, the evaluation of the pros and cons of priority under the Kansas Water Appropriation Act will be eliminated. We’ve heard from many stakeholders regarding this strategy who are very concerned with the potential implications of modifying the fundamental premise of the Act. We feel that any change in the Act as it pertains to the “first in time, first in right” provisions will achieve little and divert attention away from the dozens of strategies in the Draft that are widely supported by Kansans.

•We understand you can’t discuss water quantity without recognizing the importance of water quality. One example of where quantity and quality overlap is in our watersheds. The adoption of watershed best management practices continues to receive overwhelming support as the most cost effective means of preventing sediment from entering our reservoirs. The second Draft will encourage the implementation of more projects aimed at reducing nutrients and sediments from entering our tar-

geted water courses and reservoirs.

•The priority in the second Draft will remain on voluntary, locally driven and market-based solutions. We continue to hear and recognize that locally developed plans have the highest opportunity for long-term success.

The state should provide the necessary tools and support to allow greater flexibility for the management of water resources at the local level. The Vision Team also continues to hear a local desire to conserve and extend the life of their aquifer. Local landowners and water right holders have the right and responsibility to determine their destiny with respect to long-term water use while balancing conservation and economic growth.

Your input on the next Draft is critical and the deadline of October 15 is fast approaching. If you have not registered for the Governor’s Water Conference, there’s still time. The conference will be November 12-13 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Manhattan. Please register by going to the Kansas Water Office website at www.kwo.org.

We truly appreciate the effort and commitment by those Kansans who have participated in the Kansas Water Vision process. We look forward to continued discussions as we finalize the next Draft and ultimately all work together to implement the Vision.

Sincerely, Tracy Streeter, Director, Kansas Water Office Jackie McClaskey, Secretary, Kansas Department of Agriculture

The month of October is an opportunity to highlight the 1,000 pig farms across the state contributing more than $850 million to the Kansas economy and support more than 7,000 jobs in the state. Governor Sam Brownback recently signed a proclamation declaring October Kansas Pork Month and encouraging all Kansans to support this vital portion of the state’s agriculture industry.

“Pork Month is a great time for us to promote our pork products and to celebrate the hard work and dedication of farmers who take pride in producing safe, wholesome pork,” Kansas Secretary of Agriculture Jackie McClaskey said.

In 2013, Kansas pork farmers sold more than three million pigs, resulting in 500 million pounds of pork to feed families in Kansas, the United States and around the world. These farmers have a commitment to doing what is best for their farm, their family and their community by exhibiting excellent animal care and environmental stewardship.

National Pork Month is also celebrated during the month of October.

By Amy McGrath, Communications & Multimedia Specialist Oh, the Places You’ll Go: Justin’s Journey Russell Child Development Center’s Tiny-K Early Intervention Program (RCDC) served 480 children and their families in 2013. Over 35 years ago a Southwest Kansas family became testament to RCDC and what we continue to do for our families today. We are sharing their story as they look to the bright future that lies ahead for their son. This is a story of Justin Daniel Johnson whose courage and fight through all his physical trials has inspired a whole family and continues to this day.

“We are the proud parents of a special child, born in 1979 in Ulysses with Spina Bifida. He did not have use of his lower legs and was hydrocephalic.

After his spinal closure and a shunt was installed we then were able to bring him home after three months in the hospital. He needed to have therapy physically as well as educationally.

“The therapists from RCDC provided therapy for several years prior to kindergarten.

During this time we observed the changes in our son that formed the basis of his success in school. When we would take Justin to the mylo clinic in Wichita, they were amazed with the progress he was making even though he’d had numer-

ous shunt revisions. We were told that the therapists at RCDC were doing a great job.

When Justin entered school he was assessed as having no intellectual impairments, only physical.

“My wife was constantly with Justin following the therapeutic instructions the therapists at RCDC gave her. In 1987 we moved to McPherson where Justin thrived in the educational system.

The school stated that if Justin had not had the quality of therapy provided by Russell Child Development Center, he would not have been where he was when they assessed him.

“In 1988 Justin made medical history. He was progressing above average intellectually when he started developing vision problems. We took him to an eye specialist who immediately sent us to Wesley he underwent surgery to remove a section of the tube for his shunt so it would work properly again.

However, since the ventricles in his brain had expanded downward onto the optic nerves, irreparable damage to the optic nerves caused him to lose his sight. His Neurologist wrote an article about this surgery which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. This article saved another boy’s sight in 1998. When told about the other boy, Justin stated he knew now the reason why he had been born.

“According to teachers throughout Justin’s education, if Justin had not had early intervention prior to Kindergarten, he would not have been as successful in his education.

Justin graduated from GCCC

Average retail gasoline prices are still falling

helped them to survive when crops were short in Stevens County. Taken from the Stevens County & Its People history book.

Average retail gasoline prices in Kansas have fallen 6.6 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.02 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 6.0 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.21 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 19.7 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 23.4 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 18.0

cents per gallon during the last month and stands 12.8 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

"What an impressive week it has been for watching the decline in gasoline prices across the country," said analyst GasBuddy.com Patrick DeHaan. "I don't think I've seen such big drops in retail prices collectively since the recession of 2009.

Last week, every single state saw its average gas price decline. The smallest decline in state averages in the lower 48 states was a five-cent decline in West Virginia. You know... its been a pretty good week when you can say the smallest average state decline was

a nickel in a week. Meanwhile, the largest drop was in Minnesota's average, which saw a 16-cent decline. Perhaps most incredibly, the number of stations in the U.S. selling under $3 per gallon amounted to almost 25% of all stations [Sunday]. Last Monday, that number was just 6.6 percent. That means currently 30,000 gas stations in the U.S. are charging less than $3 per gallon. And perhaps the best news for motorists is that we have more decreases coming - some states could see their lowest prices since late 2010 over the next month," DeHaan noted.

Monday, October 6 brought a drive-in movie theatre to the Rolla multipurpose room. Mrs. Zeta Greene had planned a special team bonding night for the high school team.

First there was a “highway” leading to the multipurpose room. Then parents, mainly mothers, of the girls on the team created special “cars” for the girls to sit in and watch the movie “Forever Strong.”

The team enjoyed super nachos with all the toppings, popcorn and theatre box candies.

The mothers provided the meal fixings. All the girls seemed to enjoy the experience.

Mrs. Zeta Greene presents a special night for Rolla high schoolers and brings a special

showing of a movie at the “drive-in” featuring “Forever Strong”.

Fifth grade class wraps up science unit on ecosystems with field trip

By Becky Sohm, Fifth Grade Teacher, Rolla Elementary October 8, Rolla’s fifth-grade class wrapped up their science unit on ecosystems with a field trip to learn more about our very own grassland ecosystem. Students attended the annual OWLS (Outdoor Wildlife Learning Site) event at Middle Spring in the Cimarron National Grasslands. The event is a cooperative effort by the U.S. Forest Service, the National Resources Conservation Service, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, the Morton County Museum, and the Morton and Stevens County Extension Offices.

Students rotated to five different stations during the morning. At the Fire Ecology station, U.S. Forest Service staff discussed the role of fire in maintaining the grasslands, as well as how to prevent unintended fires. At the Soil station, hosted by the NRCS, students got to experience life underground by walking through the Soil Tunnel Trailer. Students learned about the importance of our soil for the health of our crops and our water supply.

Staff of the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks hosted the Reptiles and Amphibians station, which was a real hit with the students. The presenter had brought different (live!) reptiles and amphibians of

the grasslands to discuss with students. The ornate box turtle, barred tiger salamander, and horny toad were just a few of the animals students could see and touch. Their only disappointment was that the representative hadn’t brought any snakes!

Another popular station was the Santa Fe Trail station, which was hosted by the Morton County Museum staff and volunteers. Folks dressed as Native Americans and travelers along the Santa Fe Trail told of their

experiences along the trail and showed items they might have used or traded for. Students received a model fort to put together and a bag containing a snack of food like what would have been eaten along the trail: jerky, dried fruit, and hardtack.

The final station, Skin, Skulls, and Tracks, was a very hands-on discussion of grassland mammals led by staff of the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. Students were able to compare the skulls of different

mammals and learn about their eating habits by the type of teeth they have. Other animal adaptations, like camouflage, were easily seen as student explored different animal pelts.

The event ended with a picnic lunch of grilled hot dogs provided by the Morton County Museum. Mrs. Sohm would like to thank all the agency staff and volunteers who worked so hard to host a memorable education event for the area fifth-grade students.

Stevens County 4-H’ers Celebrated 48 Hours of 4-H October 11-12 in Honor of National 4-H Week When members recite the 4-H pledge, they vow to use their hands for larger service to better their club, their community, their country and their world.
