Abengoa Biorefinery of Kansas hosts grand opening event Friday, October 17 Hugoton was abuzz with dignitaries, secret service personnel and community members Friday as Abengoa prepared for their Grand Opening! Seven years in the making, Abengoa was ready to announce and push the button for the official starting up of their Cellulosic Ethanol Plant. Their announcement is as follows: “Global leader in the development of new industrial biotechnologies debuts advanced biorefinery for cellulosic ethanol in Southwest Kansas!”
Governor Sam Brownback Abengoa, the international company that applies innovative technology solutions for sustainability in the energy and environment sectors, announced Friday the official grand opening of its second generation cellulosic ethanol plant in Hugoton. The opening was attended by United States Secretary of Energy Dr.

Dr. Ernest Moniz Secretary, U.S. Dept of Energy plant. Abengoa’s new industry-leading biorefinery finished construction in mid-August and began producing cellulosic ethanol at the end of September with the capacity
to produce up to 25 million gallons per year. The plant utilizes only “second generation” (2G) biomass feedstocks for ethanol prod u c t i o n , meaning nonof the edible agricultural crop residues (such as stalks and leaves) that do not compete with food or feed grain. The state-of-the-art facility also features an electricity cogeneration component allowing it to operate as a self-sufficient renewable energy producer. By utilizing residual biomass solids from the ethanol conversion process, the plant generates 21 megawatts (MW) of electricity – enough to power itself and provide excess clean renewable power to the local Stevens County community. The Hugoton plant opening also marks the first-ever commercial deployment of Abengoa’s proprietary enzymatic hydrolysis technology, which turns biomass into fermentable sugars that
are then converted to ethanol. Among the first wave of commercial-scale ethanol plants in the country, Hugoton builds on recent industry momentum showcasing cellulosic ethanol as a sustainable alternative fuel source to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase energy independence. In addition to the plant’s crucial role in proving the commercial viability of cellulosic ethanol, its success provides a platform for the company’s future development of other bioproducts to reduce petroleum use, such as bioplastics, biochemicals and drop-in jet fuel. “The Hugoton plant opening is the result of ten years of technical development, roughly 40,000 hours of pilot and demonstration plant operation, and the support of the DOE,” said Manuel Sánchez Ortega, CEO of Abengoa. “This is a proud and pivotal moment for Abengoa and for the larger advanced bioenergy industry – and further demonstrates our longstanding commitment to Continued to page 3

Commissioners grateful for cost savings The Stevens County Board of County Commissioners met in regular session Friday, October 17, 2014 with all members, Pat Hall, James Bell and Dave Bozone present. Also present were County Counselor Robert Johnson, 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 short and condensed as the commissioners had to be at Abengoa for the grand opening. The agenda included bills - 8:30; Vernon Anderson - 8:45; Phillip Willis - 9:00; Tony Martin - 9:30; Rodney Kelling 10:00; and Abengoa at 10:30 until after lunch. When this reporter arrived around 8:45, commissioners were going over
the bills. Motion was made and passed to accept and pay the bills. Vernon Anderson had already been in with his report as the County Inspector. Pat reported to the other commissioners about the meeting at the landfill. Minutes were read and approved. Pam called each department head and asked if they would come in earlier. Phillip Willis brought in the resolution and management plan for the commissioners to look over from the landfill meeting. Dave told Phillip about some bindweed needing attention on Road Three. Rodney Kelling requested an executive session for personnel. Tony Martin talked about Spikes’ Road progression and Seismographer plans/rules enforced in other counties. It was commented that sometimes it is cheaper to pay
fines than permits. But it may be a good idea to charge for right-of-ways. This may be a good practice to start January 1. The concrete crushers got away before the asphalt could be crushed. Commissioners and Tony all agreed to have them come back and crush the asphalt. Motion was made and passed to do so. The agreements, for the Shuck Road G between Roads 11 and 12, were discussed. Tony had the figures of the amount saved between diesel and natural gas for the asphalt plant. The savings was a staggering $210,000. approximately. This total included the cost of the switch over expenses. All agreed they were thankful they were approached to do the switch. Commissioners moved into another executive session. Meeting adjourned.

Hugoton was rocked with another tragedy last week. The young life of Joel Nieto Jr., age 33, was taken as a result of a two vehicle accident east of Hugoton Tuesday afternoon, October 14. Stevens County Sheriff’s Department responded to a two vehicle accident Tuesday, early afternoon. The location was east of Hugoton at Road 15 on Highway 56 towards Moscow. A maroon 1995 Chevy Tahoe was east bound and slowing down to make a right hand turn into the family’s driveway. The Tahoe was being driven by Joel Nieto Sr., age 63. He was accompanied by his son Joel Jr. A 2009 Mitsubishi driven by Andrew Jones, age 23, was also east bound on Highway 56.
The Jones vehicle struck the Nieto vehicle in the rear causing both vehicles to roll-over, coming to rest in opposite ditches. The passenger in the Nieto vehicle, Joel Jr. was ejected from the vehicle, as he had just removed his seat belt. Joel Sr. and Joel Jr. were both transported to Stevens County Hospital. Joel Jr. was Life Watched to Wichita, but diverted to Liberal instead. Jones sustained minor injuries, but refused treatment. Joel Jr. was a familiar
face in his family’s restaurant. He always had a contagious smile to offer with his sincere greeting. He liked to grab your hand and find out where you were going when you were getting ready to leave. He also liked to talk about ponies and donkeys. Joel would laugh so much if he thought you were being left by the rest of your family while talking with him. He will be so missed by not only his family but all his friends. Joel’s obituary is on page 2.
Sheriff reports solved break-in case Sheriff Ted Heaton reports: the Twisted H Liquor Store in Hugoton was broken into recently. Sheriff Heaton says two arrests have been made in the
incident. Arrested and being held are Dario Salcedo age 21 and Paul Navarrette age 18. Two juveniles were also charged with the break-in and theft.

Sgt. Cody Samuels Word has been received of the death of Sergeant Cody Lammond Samuels. Sergeant Samuels, age 27, passed away Tuesday, October 14, 2014 in Orleans, N.Y. The son of Leonard L Samuels and Connie E. Placka, he was born March 18, 1987 at Ulysses. In July of 2005 Cody and Kathy Wilson were married. Sergeant Samuels was very goal-oriented and focused on his career. He would set a goal, work tirelessly to complete it, and when he was done he’d set another goal and he’d be off again. Cody completed a Bachelor’s, MBA and was working on another Master’s in this same dogged goal oriented manner. He was determined to succeed in his life and career, and he wanted the best for his family. He dreamed of sending his daughter Laurie to college, having a farm and eventually retire on a yacht. He loved the ocean and he loved to fish. Cody was a fun loving person who loved to make people laugh. He had an incredible sense of humor and was so happy when he was able to make people laugh. He loved to fish and looked forward to being able to go on hunting trips with his father Lenny and his
grandfather Bert Bowen. Cody loved the army and was proud of what he did. He was a nodal network systems operator-maintainer in the 10th Combat Aviation Brigade’s headquarters company and had served in Iraq in 2007. He had joined the Army in 2005 and had also served in Germany and Korea. Some of his career honors were the Army Achievement Medal, Army Conduct Medal, Good National Defense Service Medal, Iraqi Campaign Medal, and Global War on Terror Service Medal. Survivors include his wife Kathy Samuels of LaFargeville, N.Y.; daughter Laurie of the home; his father Lenny Samuels; mother Connie Meza; his brother Santos Cantu; four sisters, Shi Lyn Samuels, Courtney Samuels, Kelsey Eillis and Angelia Bourm; and his grandparents, Dottie and Bert Bowen and Margaret Andrews.

Grant County Funeral Home of Ulysses is in charge of arrangements.
Federal Bureau of Investigation ~ Internet Crime Complaint Center
Internet Scam News Cyber criminals posing as Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) employees are defrauding the public. The IC3 has received complaints from victims who were receiving e-mails purported to be from the IC3. This advisory informs readers how the scheme works, offers measures to help mitigate the threat, and advises how to report incidents to law enforcement. Victims report the unsolicited e-mail sender is a representative of the IC3. The e-mails state a criminal report was filed on the victim’s name and social security number and legal papers are pending. Scammers impersonate an IC3 employee to increase credibility and use threats of legal action to create a sense of urgency. Victims are informed they have one to two days from the date of the complaint to contact the scammers. Failure to respond to the e-mail will result in an arrest warrant issued to the victim. Some victims stated they were provided further details regarding the ‘criminal charges’ to include violations of federal banking regulations, collateral check fraud, and theft deception. Other victims claimed that their address was correct but their social security number was incorrect. Victims that requested additional information from the scammer were instructed to obtain prepaid money cards to avoid legal action. Victims have reported this scam in multiple states. If you receive this type of e-mail: • Resist the pressure to act quickly. • Never wire money based on a telephone request or in an e-mail, especially to an overseas location. The IC3 never charges the public for filing a complaint and will never threaten to have them arrested if they do not respond to an e-mail. Individuals who have fallen victim to this type of scam are encouraged to file a complaint with the IC3 at http://www.ic3.gov.

This would have been simply impossible without the establishment of the Renewable Fuel Standard.” Abengoa received a $132.4 million loan guarantee and a $97 million grant through the Department of Energy to support construction of the Hugoton facility. At full capacity, the Hugoton facility will process 1,000 tons per day of biomass, most of which is harvested within a 50-mile radius each year – providing $17 million per year of extra income for local farmers whose agricultural waste would otherwise have little or no value. Of that biomass, more than 80 percent is expected to consist of irri-

Eagles host Pratt during Friday’s home game Only one yard rushing and two yards passing separated the Hugoton Eagles and Pratt during Friday’s home game. Despite the close game in yardage, the Eagles still fell short, losing to the visiting Greenbacks with a score of 7 to 28. Hugoton could not get anything going for the first half while allowing the Greenbacks to get a 28 to 0 lead. The Eagles got their chance in the third quarter to score with 4:10 remaining. Ulises Armendariz scored the only touchdown of the game for the Eagles on a 30 yard run. Colby Korf scored the extra point for the Eagles, and it looked like the home team was on their way to a comeback. After Hugoton’s only score in the third, both
teams shut each other down and no points were scored in the final quarter. This was a very close game, despite the score. The Eagles had a total of 148 yards rushing on 29 carries compared to Pratt’s 149 yards on 39 carries. Armendariz led in yardage, carring the ball 12 times for a total of 93 yards rushing. He added 19 more yards on two passes received from quarterback Parker Titus. Valentine Degallado also helped the team, adding 40 yards on 13 carries. Titus carried the ball four times for 15 yards. Hugoton played a good passing game, adding 44 yards on ten complete passes. Michael Baeza received the ball twice for 12 yards, followed by eleven yards on two passes to
Quarterback Parker Titus carried the ball four times during Friday night’s game, adding 15 yards against Pratt. He attempted five passes and completed two for eight additional yards.

Tyler Goode. Parker Titus passed five times, connecting twice for eight yards, and Degallado picked up 36 yards connecting eight passes on 12 attempts. In comparison, the Greenbacks threw five passes, only connecting once for a 46 yard gain. The Eagles’ defense had some outstanding plays that stopped the Greenbacks at crucial times. Pedro Ordonez had eleven tackles and five assists for
a total of 16 tackles. Jack Stalcup was one of Hugoton’s big defense players as well with five tackles, five assists and one sack during the game. Hugoton will have Senior Night this Friday when the home team faces Larned on the Eagles’ home field. The Eagles hope to add a win to their two and five record this Friday and hope all Eagle fans will be there. Game starts at 7:00 p.m.

placing second. The teams will compete at Hays for Regional this Saturday, October 25.
Varsity cross country teams take first and second The Eagles Cross Country teams competed well at Holcomb last Thursday. “We had hoped to have both teams win the League title this year but the girls came up short by one point. It’s kind of strange. This is exactly what happened to the boys last year,” Coach Nick Rodriguez said. “They were beat by one point last year for the League title and the girls were the League Champions. The coaching staff was really impressed with the efforts that all the kids gave us,” coach Rodriguez continued. The Cross Country teams have been working hard all year to get to this point and now must focus to be in the top three teams this week at Regionals and qualify for the state meet. “We know that the Clay Center boys and girls are solid teams, Hays High moved down from 5A and should be pretty good, Hays-TMP moved up from 3A and they have been good. It will be a good race next weekend at Hays High. That is where we go to race next weekend to qualify for State,” Rodriguez concluded. Race times at Hays are 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. this weekend.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note some of the most common eye hazards Sight is something many people take for granted. Powerful organs, the eyes absorb imagery and the brain converts that information into data the body uses to maneuver through the world. Risks of eye injury present themselves every day. Freeflying particles are everywhere, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that dust, metal particles, falling or shifting debris, smoke, and chemicals are some of the most common eye hazards on the job and at home. Injuries can run the gamut from corneal abrasions and irritation to loss of vision. Millions of eye injuries that impair vision occur each year. Prevention is a person's best defense again eye injury. Wearing safety glasses or goggles is the easiest way to protect the eyes and can prevent 90 percent of eye injuries. In addition, Prevent
Blindness suggests these methods to reduce your risk of suffering eye trauma. • Provide lights and handrails to improve safety on walkways and stairs, as well as to make surroundings more visible. • Inspect and remove debris from lawns before mowing. • Address potential eye hazards, such as overhanging branches or sharp corners, before they can do any damage. • Wear appropriate eye protection when particles of any kind are falling, flying or moving through the air. • Keep tools in good condition so they do not kick up unnecessary debris or cause injuries. • Always use chemical safety goggles when handling hazardous solvents and detergents. • Read and follow all instructions and warnings on manufacturer labels.

• Understand that regular eyeglasses do not provide adequate protection. • Keep kids away from flying toys or any that use projectiles. • Never mix chemicals, as mixed chemicals can damage your eyes and cause additional injuries. • Wear adequate eye protection to prevent overexposure to UV rays when outside. Sunglasses that guard against UV-A and UV-B rays are recommended. • Keep dangerous household products, like detergents, paints, glues, and
solvents, stored out of reach or behind locked doors. • Exercise caution with everyday items or tools. For example, do not run with pointy items in hand. • Store loose belongings in the trunk of a car or cargo bed, as loose objects can become projectiles in an automobile accident. Protecting your eyesight should be a priority, and it's important to exercise caution at work, at home or during play to protect you and your children's eyes from injury.

Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s® engages and inspires southwest Kansas The Alzheimer’s Association is inviting Southwest Kansas and the Oklahoma Panhandle residents to unite in a movement to reclaim the future for millions by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Light Park, Jean Randall Girl Scout Building in Liberal will be the site of Walk October 25, 2014 with registration starting at 11:00, lunch provided at Noon and walk beginning at 1:00 P.M. Walk to End Alzheimer’s is more than a walk. It is an experience for 150 participants in Southwest Kansas who will learn about Alzheimer's disease and how to get involved with this critical cause, from advocacy opportunities, the latest in Alzheimer’s research and clinical trial enrollment to support programs and services. Each walker will also join in a meaningful cere-
mony to honor those affected by Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer’s disease is a growing epidemic and is now the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death. As baby boomers age, the number of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease will rapidly escalate, increasing well beyond today’s more than five million Americans living with Alzheimer’s. In addition to the one or two mile walk, participants will enjoy a free lunch, entertainment and a special tribute to those who have experienced or are experiencing Alzheimer’s.

Halloween candy may be frozen Some children amass quite a pile of candy from their trick-or-treating efforts. It may be too much to eat in the next few weeks, even for candy lovers. According to “Better Homes and Gardens,” many different types of candies can be frozen to preserve their freshness. Fudge, pra-
lines and caramels freeze well, and even chocolate-covered candies can be frozen with ease. Use an airtight freezer bag or container to keep frozen candies as fresh as possible and not susceptible to moisture infiltration. From MetroEditorial Services.

Research has consistently shown that consuming alcoholic beverages increases a woman's risk of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, a woman's risk of developing breast cancer increases with the amount of alcohol she consumes. When compared with nondrinkers, women who consume one alcoholic beverage per day have a slightly higher risk of developing breast cancer. But the risk of developing breast cancer is roughly one and a half times greater for those women who consume between two and five alcoholic beverages per day when compared to nondrinkers. Breastcancer.org notes that experts estimate that a woman's risk of developing breast cancer increases by 10 percent for each additional drink she consumes each day. The risk is considerable for young girls who consume alcohol as well, as teen and tween girls between the ages of nine and 15 who drink three to five drinks per week have three times the risk of developing benign breast lumps, which have been linked to a higher risk of breast cancer later in life.

Plastic bottles are routinely recycled into other plastic items and new bottles, but they can be turned into much more. When you were sipping water from that bottle, you probably never thought of the possibilities of wearing that very plastic. However, fabric innovators are turning disposed plastic into durable garments. When compared with producing virgin materials, recycling plastic products helps save up to 70 percent on energy costs. Recycled bottles can be broken down into pellets of pure recycled plastic that is virtually indistinguishable from virgin plastic. Then the pel-
lets are turned into yarn, which can be woven as-is or mixed with other yarns to produce polyester clothing. According to Waste 2 Wear, a recycled clothing company, anywhere from 12 to 20 bottles can be saved per garment and transformed into anything from robes to shirts to uniforms. Recycled clothing presents yet another way to turn trash into treasure. From MetroEditorial Services.

STEVENS COUNTY SENIOR ACTIVITY CENTER Shila Moore, Director 544-2283 - Activities 544-8041 - Meals 624 S. Main, Hugoton
Hugoton High School’s Marching Band earned second place at the Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s homecoming street marching competition! Only one point separated the Ea-
gles from the first place team. You can see a video of the performance on the Hugoton High School Band’s Facebook page. The musicians also played with the NWOSU band at halftime.
The Coffeehouse Philosopher by Randy Kilbourne
“The ‘Red and Blue’ is on the March Again” Reporting from Ranger Stadium in Alva, Ok. To a town like Hugoton, what does it mean to have a first class marching band? In 1968, the Hugoton Eagle band was a source of extreme city pride when director Dave Darnell’s band was invited to do the halftime show for the Kansas City Chiefs. As the band’s previous director, Dave Catron had built the band into a show-piece organization from 1962 - 1966, with band directors from across the nation attending its concerts. After getting this kind of national recognition, Catron took the band director’s position at Michigan State University, which he held for many years. In other not so memorable times, the Hugoton marching band was not nearly as noteworthy, and for the past several years, Hugoton has NOT had marching band at all (Nada.) But (and this is becoming a pretty big but) as of nine weeks ago, Hugoton has a brand spanking new band. Enter new band director, Amy Freeman, a native of Laverne, Ok., and a graduate of Northwestern Oklahoma State University, a university with campuses at Alva, Ok., Woodward, Ok., and Enid, Ok., where she was drum majorette for six years. In the intervening years, Freeman has had fourteen years of previous experience as a director, and has developed a reputation of expecting a lot from her band membership. Further, she gets her band to demand a lot from individual members. As an example, band practice regularly begins at 6:30 a.m. weekday mornings, and the band doesn’t waste any time. In the middle of that first nine weeks, Freeman wanted to take the band to enter competition at
the Kansas State Fair at Hutchinson. Administrative concern was expressed that the band, while in its developmental stages, could be severely embarrassed. Freeman assured all concerned that the band would be ready to go. And of the thirty bands that competed at Hutchinson, Hugoton’s band was one of the four top bands to receive a “superior rating.” This past weekend, the band performed at Freeman’s alma mater (NWOSU) where it placed second overall, missing first by a very narrow margin. The Eagle band marched in NWOSU’s homecoming parade, wearing striking blue uniforms with feathered “El Gato” hats. The band also played later in a grand combination of all bands at the university football stadium. I saw the Eagle band perform in the Alva town square, where it played a very modern piece while within my earshot. I followed the band for several blocks hoping to hear it play the Eagle fight song, “The Red and Blue Overall,” but was unsuccessful and was eventually blocked by the large homecoming crowd. Later, I did hear from others that the band belted out a superb rendition of the fight song further down the street. At Ranger Stadium, the band played the Eagle fight song again – especially for me. As an old (shall we say -- “balding Eagle”) it was absolutely glorious! Before the game began, the Hugoton band kept the entire stadium entertained by playing a medley of catchy tunes, often with other bands joining in with their drums and bass horns. During the combination play, Hugoton’s entire twenty-eight band members shed their feathered hats, and donned “Montana” head bands in remembrance of popular band member, fifteen year old Mon-

tana Beesley. Beesley tragically lost her life in a recent auto accident. She played both trumpet and guitar, and had recently been invited to play at the national FFA convention in Nashville, Tn. The band chose to keep Montana’s spirit alive by placing a memory patch of her on the band’s very impressive banner at the front of the band. I used to be a member of the Hugoton band (50+ years ago), playing the Sousaphone for (then) band director, Sigmond Leiker. He did his best for me (and the band), but I regret to say that I failed to do my best for him (and our band.) Often the bell of my horn became an irresistible target for pranksters, throwing spitwads and other miscellaneous items into the large opening. The last time I was a member of the marching band in 1961, we marched into a 40 mph wind during a welcome home parade held for (then) Hugoton resident, Buddy Heaton (now deceased.) At the time, Heaton had just finished riding his buffalo, “Old Grunter,” in President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural parade in Washington D.C. Pushing into the strong headwind during the welcome home parade, it was all I could do to keep that big horn moving forward, let alone producing any quality “oompahs.” In finishing my account of the Hugoton band’s visit to NWOSU, it should be readily apparent that the twenty-eight band members can become a core of talent upon which to build. And so, I asked Amy Freeman how long she planned to continue as Hugoton High’s band director. She replied, “with those amazing kids, as long as the powers that be will let me”. But putting together a quality band organization means that more than just a band director and band members will be getting red eyes from lack of sleep. That big “Hugoton Eagle Cruiser” of a bus has to be maintained in top shape, and ready to leave in the wee hours of the morning or late at night. Some weeks, the bus goes out multiple times (occasionally on successive days) and the current bus jockey/supervisor and “maintainer of student order” is another balding Eagle named Galen Keith. Administrators have to find funding sources for a band, and then justify all expenditures. This frequently means that band sponsors, like David Cutter (another balding Eagle) may have to go searching for some deep pockets when unexpected costs arise. (At times, do your own trousers get a little threadbare around the pockets, David?) And we might ask ourselves, “Is all the effort of funding and fielding a high school band worth it?” Just wait until you see that striking “Hugoton High School Band” banner come down the street toward you, in front of twenty-eight of the finest high school ambassadors from your home town, and you’ll have your answer.

Lead poisoning can affect persons of any age United behind a theme of “Lead-Free Kids for a Healthy Future,” EPA Region 7 is urging parents, teachers and news media representatives to join federal, state and local health and environmental agencies in spreading the message of National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, October 19-25. While lead poisoning is a health issue that can affect persons of any age, young children are most at risk. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that at least four million households in the United States have children living in them at risk of exposure to toxic lead. More than half a million U.S. children ages five and younger have blood lead levels above five micrograms per deciliter, the reference level at which CDC recommends public health actions be initiated. Nationally, the most common way that children become exposed to lead is by breathing or swallowing dust or chips of lead-based paint, which is often found in and around housing or child-care facilities built prior to 1978, when lead-based residential paints were banned in the U.S.
In the four states of EPA Region 7 - Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska - young children, depending on the communities where they live, also may be exposed to soils contaminated by lead from the area’s past or current lead mining and processing industries. Lead poisoning can adversely affect nearly every system of the body, but particularly the central nervous system, especially for unborn and young children whose bodies are just beginning to develop and grow. Because lead poisoning often occurs with no obvious symptoms, it frequently goes unrecognized. However, lead poisoning is easily diagnosed with simple testing, and in most cases, it can be treated. Throughout National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, October 19-25, EPA is working to raise awareness of toxic lead hazards and spread information about ways to minimize or prevent exposures to lead. The Agency has a range of free information, outreach materials and other resources available online: http://www2.epa.gov/lead/n ational-lead-poisoning-prevention-week.

Throughout the year, EPA works proactively with professionals employed in the home and building renovation and repair trades to encourage their compliance with federal laws and regulations designed to prevent exposures to lead caused by renovation, repair and painting activities. Homeowners are urged to confirm that any renovators hired to work in their pre-1978 housing are, in fact, certified by EPA—and that those renovators follow lead-safe work practices on the job. EPA similarly strives to educate homeowners and consumers who do their own renovation, repair and painting, to follow lead safe work practices. Information about EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting Program is available online: http://www2.epa. gov/lead/renovation-repairand-painting-program.

The treasurer’s report stated there was a balance of $1,870.62 in the checking account and a balance of $51,600.46 in the Special Projects account. The board voted to pay the monthly bills. Neal stated he got an update about the Water Vision from Kirk Heger. Kirk remarked water usage was declining in Stevens County. The governor will announce the final plan in November. Everyone hopes the drought has broken. The next EcoDevo meeting is scheduled for November 11, 2015, which is also Veterans’ Day. Since that is a holiday, the board agreed to meet Wednesday, November 12. This is the day for the
Chamber Board meeting but Ruth stated both meetings will be possible, just in different rooms. The director informed the board members of the Abengoa Grand Opening Friday, October 17, 2014. The tour of the Abengoa plant is scheduled at 9:30 a.m., and the formal luncheon will be at 11:00 a.m. The Secretary of Energy and Kansas Governor Sam Brownback will be among the speakers. Neal reported the cost of a new office printer, along with ink cartridges, etc. came to close to $1,000. The board voted to buy the new printer from Liberal Office Machine since the company is a Hugoton Chamber member. Heather McCrary of Moscow has been appointed and approved for the Tourism Board. Heather is the Curator Pro Tem of the Stevens County Gas and Historical Museum. After some discussion, the board decided to postpone the hunting contest another year to allow the bird population to replenish. Neal stated the hotel and the supermarket being built east of town are under construction. Both are currently doing groundwork. The Bob Dole visit went well. Over 85 people attended the meeting at the Stevens County Memorial Hall. The meeting adjourned. The next meeting will be November 12, 2014 at noon.

“Notes From Nancy” by Stevens County FACS Agent Nancy Honig
All About Pumpkins The most popular use of pumpkins is for decorations as jack-o-lanterns. But when selecting a pumpkin for cooking, it is best to look for a “pie pumpkin” or “sweet pumpkin.” These are smaller than the large jack-o-lantern pumpkins, and the flesh is sweeter and less watery. Look for a pumpkin with one to two inches of stem left. If the stem is cut too close to the pumpkin it will decay quickly,

or may already be decaying at the time of purchase. Avoid pumpkins with blemishes and soft spots. It should be heavy, but the shape is unimportant. A lopsided pumpkin is not necessarily a bad pumpkin. Whole pumpkins can be stored at room temperature up to a month after being picked, or refrigerated for up to three months. Figure one pound of raw, untrimmed pumpkin for each cup of finished pumpkin puree. Preparing /Cooking the Pumpkin Spread newspaper over your work surface. Remove the stem, scoop out the seeds and scrape away all of the stringy mess. Boiling/Steaming Method: Cut the pumpkin into rather large chunks. Rinse in cold water. Place pieces in a large pot with about a cup of water. The water does not need to cover the pumpkin pieces. Cover the pot and boil for 20-30 minutes or until tender, or steam for 10-12 minutes. Check for doneness by poking with a fork. Drain the cooked pumpkin in a colander. You may reserve the liquid to use as
a base for soup. Oven Method: Rinse pumpkin halves under cold water. Place pumpkin, cut side down on a large cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F. for one hour, or until fork tender. Microwave Method: Rinse pumpkin halves under cold water. Place pumpkin halves cut side down on a microwave safe plate or tray. Microwave on high for 15 minutes, check for doneness. If necessary continue cooking at one to two minute intervals until fork tender. Preparing the Puree When the pumpkin is cool enough to handle, remove the
peel using a small sharp knife and your fingers. Put the peeled pumpkin in a food processor and puree, or use a food mill, strainer or potato masher to form a puree. Pumpkin puree freezes well. To freeze, measure cooled puree into one cup portions, and place in ridged freezer containers leaving one-half inch head space, or pack into zip-closure freezer bags. Label, date and freeze at 0 degrees F. for up to one year. Use this puree in recipes by substituting for the same amount in any recipe calling for solid-pack canned pumpkin.

Kansas average retail gasoline prices have fallen 4.4¢ this past week Average retail gasoline prices in Kansas have fallen 4.4 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.94 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 6.1 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.12 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 23.9 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 27.3 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 22.9 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 23.1 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago. “The national average again saw a hefty decline over the last week, and we now stand a mere dime away from seeing prices nationally average under $3 per gallon," said GasBuddy.com senior petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan. "The national average stands now at its lowest point since January 18, 2011, and
by the end of this week, it could stand at its lowest since late 2010. Every day, Americans are spending over $100 million less on their gasoline purchases than they did a year ago, some of which will be injected back into the economy in other forms, and
with the economic concerns taking shape lately, it could help jolt things back in the right direction. I still do believe that the national average will break the $3 per gallon mark by around Election Day- the timing is ironic, considering the drop has

The legend of jack-o’-lanterns The tradition of jack-o’lanterns began in Ireland and Scotland, and pumpkins were not the first gourd of choice to use as lanterns. Turnips and rutabagas were often used because of their availability. When Irish immigrants migrated to America, they brought their jack-o’lantern traditions with them. Turnips were not as prevalent on this side of the Atlantic, so carvers turned to pumpkins, which were larger and easier to carve. Jack-o’-lanterns get

their name from Irish folklore, particularly a character named Jack. Jack liked to drink and couldn’t pay his pub tab, making a deal with the Devil for his soul to cover the pub fee. Jack agreed, but he tricked the Devil to get away with his soul and captured the Devil. Jack agrees to free the Devil if he makes a new deal that the Devil can’t ever have his soul. Years pass and Jack eventually dies. Because of his poor lifestyle, he is not material for heaven,

and Jack is once again reunited with the Devil. Because the Devil remembers he cannot have Jack’s soul, Jack is forced to roam the twilight world forever as a lost soul. The Devil gives Jack a few embers to burn to light the way, which Jack stores in a hollowed-out turnip. Eventually these lanterns, used to keep scary spirits at bay, were called jack-o’-lanterns.

K & K Chem-Dry® now provides Chem-Dry carpet and upholstery cleaning services to Morton, Stevens, Seward, Meade, Stanton, Grant and Haskell counties in Kansas. Other than complete customer satisfaction, their first and foremost goal is to change the attitude of the public towards carpet cleaning due to many of the problems associated with other cleaning methods. They feel customers are often discouraged by the poor results and damaging effects caused by steam, shampoo and dry cleaning methods. People are looking for - and very much deserve - a viable alternative that is fast, efficient and economical. This is where ChemDry comes in. Chem-Dry is a revolutionary carpet cleaning process that uses carbonation and ingredients copied from Mother Nature to make your carpets fresh and clean again. The process generates natural CO2 to produce millions of tiny, effervescent bubbles which penetrate the carpet fiber, dissolving dirt and stains quickly, and act as

From old H.H.S. we hate to go, but we cannot stay, For nevermore will we pass this way. We will sow our way with deeds Whose seeds shall bloom like May time meads, And flood our future paths with words, That will thrill our lives like the singing birds, And to the Senior Class that is coming on, That they may find their work a gleam and not a gloom. And may they find our path a pleasant way A trail of happiness and of bloom. —Alice E. Quillen

October is Bullying Prevention Month October is nationally recognized as Bullying Prevention Month. As the Prevent Child Abuse Kansas Chapter, this month the Kansas Children’s Service League (KCSL) is encouraging Kansans to go the extra mile in demonstrating kindness and showing their support of bullying prevention. As part of this initiative, KCSL created a free toolkit for parents and educators with bullying facts, prevention talking points and social media messaging. The kit also includes tip cards on how to know if your child is being bullied or cyberbullied, steps to resolve the bullying and what to do if you suspect your child is doing the bullying. The toolkit is available online at www.kcsl.org/Bul lyingPrevention.aspx. Additionally, individuals, schools and communities are encouraged to participate in Kansas Kindness Day on October 22 by wearing orange and posting their random acts of kindness on social media. “We want to connect families, empower youth and transform Kansas into a state of kindness,” said Prevent Child Abuse Kansas Director
Vicky Roper. “We hope that by highlighting the good we can show positive ways children and youth can impact each other.” In 2014, a survey conducted by Kansas Communities that Care showed nearly 9,000 Kansas students miss school one to two times each month because they feel unsafe, uncomfortable or nervous at school or on their way to or from school. No longer considered “kids just being kids,” bullying negatively affects children emotionally, psychologically and physically. Bullying is any behavior that is done to intentionally harm someone. Bullies use their physical, social, or emotional power to cause pain and force their targets to obey their requests. Most bullying behaviors are repeated over time, and bullying can be physical, verbal, emotional, cyber or sexual/gender. To access resources and learn more, visit KCSL’s Web site at www.kcsl.org or call 1800-CHILDREN, and visit www.facebook.com/Makin gKansasBullyFree to see acts of kindness that are being done across the state October 22.

CJS Chapter learns about Betsy Ross The Colonel John Seward Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution had their regularly monthly meeting September 16 at the Branding Iron Restaurant in Liberal. The program was presented by Bonnie Raff. As Betsy Ross she gave a bio of herself and the story of the events leading up to the making of the first flag adopted by the US Congress as the official banner for the new country. The program was interesting and informative. Among business discussed during the regular meeting was a recap of the state goals (KSSSAR) for membership. Briefly, the state has encouraged the chapters to retain as many members as possible and still add new members. They have set goal of 10% increase/year. The CJS chapter was the
only chapter in the state to have 100% member retention for 2012-2013. And the chapter grew at a rate of 20%. CJS chapter has grown so far this year by 25% and if all the applicants being processing are approved in time, the chapter may make 50%. There is a family from Oklahoma who should be able to join next month and they will be the first family in the chapter to have three generations represented and the first junior members! In short, if you would like to be a part of an organization that enjoys history, community service, and good company, the chapter would like for you to come join them. Not sure you have any Revolutionary War ancestors? Here’s a rule of thumb. If you had someone that fought in the Civil War,

Halloween is just weeks away, and families will soon start visiting haunted houses, ghost walks and other special amusements. State Fire Marshal Doug Jorgensen reminds all Kansans that even though these amusements are intended for family Halloween entertainment, these structures present an increased risk with regards to fire and life safety. Kansas adopted 2006 International Fire Code, which requires these types of facilities to comply with major components of fire and life safety. History has shown that complying with life safety requirements is vital. The tragic May 11, 1984 fire in the “Haunted Castle” at the Six Flags Great Adventure Park in New Jersey resulted in the deaths of eight visitors due to their inability to immediately exit the amusement structure. If you are considering operating or designing one of these amusements, special attention should be given to the following requirements: • Automatic Sprinkler System in accordance with NFPA 13 • Automatic Fire Alarm System in accordance with NFPA 72 • Number of exits • Exit signs, illumination and emergency lighting • Travel distance to exits • Use of flammable liquids • Use of combustible interior finish
• Location of extinguishing equipment • Adequate staff trained in evacuation and equipped with flashlights • Established emergency procedures • Readily available means to notify local fire, police and emergency medical services For added safety, it may be necessary to limit occupant load, add additional emergency exits or establish other special precautions to minimize a potential risk due to some unique circumstance. In any event, every effort should be made to provide an enjoyable but safe environment as determined by the
local fire inspection authority. * PLEASE NOTE: The specific requirements may be modified by the Office of the State Fire Marshal to allow alternative measures to obtain an equivalency to the code. K.S.A.31-136 provides procedures for exemptions of these requirements upon written request. The written request must demonstrate that the specific requirement causes unnecessary hardship. Visit www.firemarshal.ks. gov to find more fire safety information. Have a safe and happy Halloween.

USD 210 Board of Education approves new hires The Hugoton USD #210 Board of Education met Monday, October 25 for their regular monthly meeting. Present at the meeting were board members Stephanie Heger, Martin Daharsh, Todd Gayer, Barry Hittle, Paula Rowden, Matt Mills and Don Beesley. Also present were Mark Crawford, Elise Heger, John Girodat, Tiffany Boxum, Larry Lyder, Lance Custer, Jan Kilbourne, Traci Shields and Kay McDaniels. Some good news from the board included the high school cross country boys league champiwinning onship. The girls’ cross country team took second at the league meet at Holcomb. Don Beesley thanked everyone for their support during the past weeks. The board approved the agenda. Resignations accepted were Eber JuarezHMS/HHS custodian effective October 10 and Yared Kleffman – HLA/Adult ESL teacher aide effective October 16, 2014. New hires accepted were Deborah Quattlebum – HES Reading Aide (replaces Jacque Teeter); Nancy Arellano – Kindergarten Classroom Aide (replaces Rachel Hale); and Maria Jimenez – HES School Secretary/Bookkeeper (replaces Mary Gonzales). Elise Heger, Director of Curriculum and Professional Development gave the board the Curriculum Survey Results from USD 210 Teachers. The questions she asked were as follows: Does our curriculum align to the KCCRS?; Is there vertical alignment?; Do you support the use of a common curriculum?; and Do you understand the instructional shifts? She gave the percent of teachers who responded to the survey - 63% of the teachers responded for K-3; 82% of teachers responded for 4-12

The High Plains Education Cooperative (HPEC) report was given by Paula Rowden. Also discussed were the Rose Capacities and KASB Primer for Board members. Rose Capacities are being heavily discussed around the state ever since the Kansas Supreme Court ruled these would be the standards for determining the level of future public school finding. This came in the March 2014 Gannon vs. State of Kansas school finance decision. The BOE looked at K-12 Student Performance and Efficiency Commission recommendations. They are important for the district to be aware of, as they will be presented to elected officials in Topeka once the new legislative session begins. September 20 enrollment and impact on budget contained good news, as the district’s increase of 13 students will generate additional operating revenue for the district. The board was also updated regarding the Central Office facilities and discussed the option of a new building, as the current building is too small and is falling into disrepair. The board then considered the possibility of scholarship assistance for high school students pursuing college concurrent coursework classes. The board acknowledged some students might be avoiding concurrent courses due to the costs of tuition and books. The BOE wants to see criteria to be considered at a later board meeting date.
