Daylight Savings Time begins November 1, and as communities prepare to “fall back” one hour, the Office of the Kansas State Fire Marshal urges residents to practice fire safety by testing their smoke alarms and changing the batteries. Alkaline batteries should be replaced at least once a year, and a good rule of thumb is to change the batteries when you change your clocks. Kansas Fire Marshal Doug Jorgensen stresses the importance of replacing outdated smoke alarms with newer models featuring ten-year sealed lithium batteries. “Ensuring you have working smoke alarms in your home is the single most important step you can take to increase your family’s safety from a home fire,” explains Doug Jorgensen, State Fire Marshal. "Purchasing and installing smoke detectors with batteries that don’t need to be changed annually is one of the most affordable ways to protect your family.” According to the National Fire Protection Association, almost two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in properties without working smoke alarms. A working smoke alarm significantly increases your chances of surviving a deadly home fire. To protect your home, follow these smoke alarm safety tips: • Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each Continued to page 4

Insight Student teachers learn about agriculture Inside the Kansas State University classroom all eyes were riveted on the guest speakers. By the end of the two, one-hour training sessions the future teachers were well equipped to tell the story of the state’s number one industry. Kansas Farm Bureau and Kansas Foundation for Ag in the Classroom partnered to provide agricultural resources to future Kansas teachers studying in the College of Education. Serita Blankenship, KFB agriculture education and Cathy Musick, Kansas Foundation for Ag in the Classroom conducted workshops about farming and ranching and explained the importance of agriculture in people’s lives.
Stevens County Fire Department and Ambulance Report Stevens County Emergency Services run activity for October 12 through October 25. Fire Department Sunday, October 18, 7:17 pm – dispatched to Highway 51 and Road 20 for a motor vehicle accident. Ambulance Activity Six medical runs, three transfers, one motor vehicle accident, one Life Flight and three football standbys.
“If you eat, wear clothes or drive a vehicle, you are connected with the number one industry in the state of Kansas – agriculture,” Musick says. The Kansas State University session grew out of a long-standing partnership between the two ag organizations. After student teachers attend these workshops, they’ll be confident teaching agriculture in the classroom, Blankenship says. “We shared resources, contact information and we’ll be there for them when they begin teaching,” she adds. One of the sources the team shared was the website www.myamericanfarm.org. My American Farm is a place eager, young learners can explore and discover information about food, fiber and energy. The site also includes free games and other educational resources. In addition to the educational materials on myameri canfarm.org, the Kansas State University students

learned about the latest agricultural facts and statistics including: Less than two percent of the U.S. population is made up of farmers and ranchers. They represent a diverse vocation growing conventional, biotech and organic crops. • One U.S. farm feeds 168 people • Nearly 100,000 of the 3.2 million U.S. farm operators are Spanish, Hispanic and Latinos • African American farmers total nearly 45,000 • American Indian approximately 58,500 • Women nearly 970,000 • 97 percent of U.S. farms are owned by families • 3 percent are owned by non-family corporations Every year, farmers produce more food with fewer inputs like labor, seeds, feed and fertilizer. The ag duo also discussed potential careers in agriculture and shared other agricultural games designed for elementary students. The student teachers’ ob-
vious curiosity and excitement about the classroom resources bode well for the future of agriculture education. John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas. Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas, his writing reflects a lifetime of experience, knowledge and passion.

Prepare your p e t for cold weather too Most of us have a fall routine to prepare for the colder weather, but have you thought about how the changing season affects our pets? Dry air inside all winter long can pose a problem for dogs and cats like it does for us, so their health is another good reason to install a humidifier. Moister air helps to prevent your pet's nose and throat from drying out. Also, some pet foods that are rich in omega oils is specifically formulated to support a healthy coat and skin in dryer weather.

Change Clocks Continued from page 1 sleeping area and on every level of your home, including in the basement. • If the alarm chirps, warning that the battery is low, replace the entire smoke alarm right away. • For smoke alarms without the long-life lithium batteries, be sure to replace batteries at least once a year. If that alarm chirps, replace only the battery. Date each unit when they are installed and replace them after ten years – or sooner if they do not successfully pass the test by sounding the alarm when the test
button is pressed. In addition to changing smoke alarm batteries, it is also a good idea to practice a family escape plan: • Plan and practice two escape routes out of every room in your house. • Designate an outside meeting place. • In case of fire, call 9-1-1 once you are safely outside your home. • Once outside, stay outside and don’t return for anything – not even a pet.

Hugoton Rotary Club donates to Pioneer Manor Hugoton Rotary Club donated four KitchenAid food processors, a new microwave, ten large square tablecloths, six large round tablecloths, 108 cloth napkins, a United States flag, a Kansas flag and glassware to Pioneer Manor. This is because of the Rotary Foundation District Grant Award. The grant’s mission is to support humanitarian efforts locally through projects related to improvement of health, education, poverty and general needs of
the community. Hugoton Rotary Club reached out to Pioneer Manor to see if there was anything there that they could provide to aid in one of these efforts earlier this year. Linda Stalcup mentioned they could really use some mixers for each of the pods as some of the residents like to prepare meals and snacks and they didn’t have any. The Rotary applied for the matching grant in which the money that the club put up,

the distrct matched 50%. After all the applications were reviewed and approved, Hugoton ended up getting some addtional money because other clubs within the district did not do a project. Hugoton Rotary Club decided to donate a microwave, glassware and flags for the commons area. Hugoton is fortunate to have humanitarian clubs to aid the needs of the community.

Use caution on Halloween The Kansas Highway Patrol is urging motorists and community members to practice caution as Halloween approaches. Caution can be the key to safety as an increasing number of people will be out this weekend with Halloween, including pedestrians walking, parents driving their children, and people attending Halloween parties. It is imperative that safety play a role in the fun during the day and evening’s celebrations. The Kansas Highway Patrol is offering the following safety tips. For Drivers: • Drivers should slow down and pay close attention to the curbs for pedestrians waiting to cross the street. It is important to remember that children are excited for the evening and possibly not paying attention to traffic. There will also be people in dark costumes, making them less visible. • Never, for any reason, drive while you are impaired. • If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don't hesitate to call your local law enforcement. On the highway,
you can dial *47 from a cell phone to get to your local Patrol dispatcher. • Remember to fasten your seatbelt and use the appropriate child restraint devices. For those hosting parties or those planning to consume alcohol: • If you are going out to drink and celebrate, designate a sober driver beforehand and give them the keys. If a sober driver is not available, call a taxi, friend, or family member to pick you up. • If attending a party, see if the option is available to spend the night at the location or stay with a friend who has not been drinking. • See if your community has a sober rides program, and utilize them if you are out drinking. • If you are hosting a party, make sure to provide nonalcoholic beverages for those who are not drinking. Ensure everyone has a safe ride home from your festivities, or plan to remain sober so you can drive your party goers home. Submitted by Kansas Highway Patrol.

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FALL SPORTS
Abraham Garcia-Aquirre sets a steady stride during Regional cross country last week.
The Hugoton High School Cross Country teams traveled to Hays High Saturday to participate in the Regional qualifying meet. The top three teams and the top ten individual runners automatically qualified to the State meet that will be next weekend in Wamego. Saturday both the boys and girls teams from Hugoton came away with the Regional championships. “This was the third time this has happened since I have been coach and the first since 2003. Regional championships do not come easily. Heading into the meet we thought that the boys were the team to beat so we expected to win the Region. The girls was unexpected. We thought Clay Center was the team to beat. They have been running well all year and placed well back at the Wamego Invitational,” said Coach Nick Rodriguez. The girls ran very well at Regionals. The team had two freshman really have big time
runs. Victoria Duran and Abby Heger ran extremely well on the right day! Two upperclassmen did what was needed from them. Sarah Johnson and Katy Heger ran well. “It was expected from those two. Katy is not 100% healthy so we will try to get her rolling for the State meet. The rest of the girls ran well. Totally unexpected that we got first!,” commented Coach Rodriguez. The boys ran very well led by Issac Castro. He was the individual Regional Champion. The team also had three other guys in the top 15, Reed Rome, Miguel Martinez, and Abraham Garcia. Zack Littell finished in the top 25. “That makes you really tough to beat when you have that many up front. One of the interesting things that happened at this meet was that every single kid on the team ran their personal best time. They did it at the right time,” said Rodriguez. Next weekend the State meet is at Wamego golf
Isaac Castro is the Regional Champion at the Cross Country Regionals at Hays. Two more teammates placed in the top ten, Reed Rome
placed fifth and Miguel Martinez placed eighth. The team was also named Regional Champions. Photo courtesy of Lisa Rome.

Eagles outlast Larned to clinch playoff berth The Hugoton Eagles traveled to Larned last Friday night and grabbed their second victory in as many weekends towards a district title. The Eagles gave the Indians an early advantage in the game, yet never gave up on their journey to their victory. Larned was first to erase the goose egg tie on the scoreboard when Evan Skelton had a one yard touchdown run. The Indians decided to try a two point attempt and their conversion was no good. So the score in the first quarter had Larned up over Hugoton by a six point advantage. The offense for the Eagles was dormant during the early part of the game. Hugoton had as many as three possessions that were four downs and out, handing the ball back to Larned. However, late in the first quarter Valentino Degollado took control and converted an important first down. Hugoton had the football at the beginning of the second quarter as they pressed to score their first points of the game. Degollado kept the ball on a quarterback sneak for six yards to score an Eagle touchdown. Colby Korf's extra point attempt was good and the score now fell in favor of the Eagles 7- 6. Larned returned with a 40 yard touchdown to add sixpoints to their side of the scoreboard. Again Larned attempted a two point conversion and this time it was good as the Indians now had a lead over the Eagles by a score of 14 to 7. Manuel Mendez took off on a kickoff return and weaved through the Indian defenders 85 yards to the end zone for a quick Eagle touchdown. Korf's kick was good and that evened the game at 14 all. Degollado went to the air in the second quarter and found Zack Leininger for a 22 yard connection that was good for another Eagle touchdown. Korf once again kicked the extra point perfectly through the uprights and now Hugoton enjoyed a seven point lead over Larned. A short squib kickoff by
Hugoton resulted in a recovery by the Eagles to give them another offensive possession starting at the Indian 40 yard line. Degollado took advantage of the opportunity and ran 25 yards into the end zone for a touchdown. Korf kicked another extra point that was good to give Hugoton a 28 to 14 lead with 4:35 left in the second quarter. This was the score going into half time. Tyler Goode joined in on the scoring as he gathered a 15 yard pass from Degollado for a touchdown. Korf's kick again was successful to lengthen Hugoton's lead to 35 - 14. Evan Skelton of Larned ran four yards against the Eagles defense to shrink the lead to 14 points. The score now remained with Hugoton ahead of Larned 35 - 21. The fourth quarter started as the Eagles led by 14 points. With less than eight minutes left in the game, Larned inched closer to Hugoton as they moved within seven points of the Eagles with a touchdown by Isiah Perez. The score now stood at 35 for Hugoton and 28 for Larned. There was 7:28 left in the game as Larned kicked off to Hugoton. Mendez, the Eagles kickoff return specialist, busted out for an ever important 30 yard return. In fact, Manuel Mendez had four kickoff returns for the night for 187 yards. Defensive pressure by the Eagles late in the game came in the form of a sack by the Eagles' Marcos Baeza to force a long third down attempt for Larned. The Indians ended up giving the ball back to Hugoton on downs at their 45 yard line. Now Degollado ran to keep ball control for the Eagles as the clock ran down with 3:15 left in the game. Hugoton was unable to zero out the clock and Larned had one more chance to tie or go ahead late in the game. With eight seconds left in the contest, the Larned quarterback threw the ball only to have the Eagles' Baeza knock

Coach Todd Fulton said, "It was a big win for our program and it showed the mental toughness of our guys. They played expecting to win and stayed together and finished it. With the win it gives us the opportunity to win a district title. Having been assured a play-off spot we can just go out and play and let it happen."

Eagle girls golf team finishes season at Regionals The 2015 HHS girls golf season was one to remember. There were eight girls on the team and to Coach Rex Evan’s knowledge that was the most ever for a girls team. Leadership fell squarely on the shoulders of two seniors, Gabby Rawlins and Abby Crawford. These two started as freshmen during coach Evan’s first coaching season and had improved every season in talent and leadership, it will really be a loss to lose them. Mary Weaver was a third year golfer who has stepped into the next leadership role knowing her two mentors are leaving. It will be fun to see what her senior season will bring. The team had five freshman sign up this year, Jacquelyn Grewell, Hannah Archuleta, Brionna Beard, Katie Crawford and Hallie Wettstein. These girls jumped in head first and almost immediately began bringing home medals on the JV side. These girls are the future of the program heading into the next few years and Coach Evans thinks the team is going to turn some heads. The season started at home and was very successful! The varsity team played very well just barely missing the medals. The JV girls had a great start with Katie Crawford, Hallie Wettstein and Brionna Beard all taking home top ten medals. This was an awesome tournament in many aspects, weather, attitude, experience and results. The team’s next tournament took them to Goodland where they had another perfect weather day for golf. Gabby Rawlins was the high varsity placer and setting a personal best on that course with a 111. Weaver was right behind her with a 114. Abby and Hannah rounded out the varsity team. On the JV side Jacquelyn Grewell, on her first trip to Goodland, came out ready to play and fired a 63 which was good enough to bring home the third place medal. Hallie just missed the top 5 with a 72 and a seventh place finish. This was a tough course and the scores for all teams showed it. Out of 64 golfers only 12 shot scores under 100 on the varsity side. September 15 Weaver was the only golfer to attend the JV tournament in Ulysses. She played a very nice round on

The Eagle girls golf team finishes their season in Regionals at Goodland. Left to right are Abby Crawford, Brionna Beard, Gabby Rawlins, Mary Weaver, Coach Rex Evans, the difficult back nine holes finishing with a score of 60. This was good enough for a ninth place medal. This tournament made three in a row of bringing home medals. The next tournament took Hugoton to Colby for a varsity/JV tournament. Playing varsity was Gabby, Mary, Abby and Jacquelyn. All four played very good golf with Mary leading the way shooting a 102 that put her into tenth place. Gabby and Abby shot 111 and 114 respectfully with Jacquelyn struggling a little on a new course. “ I’m sure she can’t wait til next year to have another shot at it,” said coach Evans. The JV team was Katie and Brionna. Both girls placed in the top ten but with medals only for the top five it was Brionna taking home the fourth place medal. That makes the medal streak go to four tournaments in a row!!! The team took on a very tough Buffalo Dunes course in Garden City for the Holcomb Invitational for the next challenge. Gabby, Abby, Mary and Jacquelyn represented the varsity and played smart golf almost the entire day. Mary and Abby led the way with scores of 111 and 119 with Mary finishing in the top 20. On the JV side it was Eagle business as usual with Hannah Archuleta bringing home the fourth place medal and pushing Hugoton’s medal streak to FIVE tournaments in a row. Hallie was strong in finishing in the eighth spot, just barely missing the medal stand. Ulysses varsity tournament was a tough day for the Lady Eagles. This is a course that forces the golfers to play smart and the Hugoton girls did that perfectly but the other teams there just played better golf. At the end of the day the Eagle girls had great scores with Gabby leading the way with a

105 and Mary right on her heels with a 106. Jacquelyn had one of her best varsity rounds of the season shooting a 119 and Abby shooting a 121. The girls got their next action during a JV tournament in Syracuse and they were ready. This course was extremely tough and forced golfers to play straight and true or suffer the consequences. Hannah took the challenge head on and at the end of the round stood up and gladly accepted her seventh place medal for her score of 60. Katie and Brionna finished inside the top 20 with scores of 75 and 70. On an absolutely miserable Saturday the girls took off for the Lakin tournament. The weather was the biggest factor as wind topped 40 mph and wind chill was as low as 45 degrees. “I was so proud of the girls for never giving up and playing good golf despite the conditions. Mary was low scorer with a 113 and Gabby at a 118. Abby Crawford put up a very valiant and brave effort on her way to a 135 on a day when weather hurts your game Abby never once complained and finished every hole with her head held high,” said Coach Evans. On the JV side it was a familiar result. A Lady Eagle accepting a medal!! Katie Crawford took home the seventh place medal after her score of 70. Brionna fought hard for her 78, finishing in twelfth place. The next tournament was League. This was played in Scott City. The unique thing about this tournament was that Scott City had not had a golf team in eight years, so that meant very few if any of the girls in the league had ever played there. Gabby, Abby, Mary, Jacquelyn, Hannah and Brionna were the league team. Gabby led the way with a 108
and Mary closely behind with a 111. “The other girls just could not figure out the new course and unfortunately our hopes of bringing home a league title fell short,” said Coach Evans. The team went back to Syracuse for the next to the last tournament of the year. With most of the team taking a rest before Regionals, Hannah Archuleta and Brionna Beard were the lone varsity golfers. Both finished strong on the tough course playing against juniors and seniors with more experience. Hannah led with a 135 and Brionna a 137. “Both of these golfers will have well needed information on how to play this course in the future and I’m sure the course will play a little easier next year,” commented Evans. The Lady Eagles finished their season at Regionals in Goodland. Mary made a legitimate run to qualify for State with shooting a 108. At the end of the day the cutoff was a score of 105. “Mary, I know, will be training and practicing to get herself ready for her senior season and that one last shot. Gabby Rawlins finished her season with a 116. Gabby tried harder than any golfer I’ve coached to get to the State tournament, it broke my heart to see her fall short in her final attempt. Abby in her final season also fought hard but just could never figure out the tough course in her last round. Abby will be greatly missed for her leadership and humor. Jacquelyn in her first Regional played extremely well and I’m sure is excited for next season. Brionna was such a breath of fresh air with a bright and bubbly attitude. Her hard work paid off and she also gained valuable experience for the next three seasons,” concluded Evans.

Junior Varsity Eagles sneak past Liberal The Hugoton Eagles Junior Varsity Football team hosted the Liberal Redskins Monday. The game was very close throughout the four quarters. Liberal broke the scoreless tie with 4:10 left in the first quarter. The Redskins ran for two yards for their first touchdown. The two point conversion failed and the score was Liberal 6 and Hugoton 0. The first period ended after the Eagles and the Redskins took turns turning the football over on downs. In the second quarter, Manuel Mendoza scored a touchdown on a two yard run. The Eagles attempted a two point conversion, however it was not good. The game now stood at a 6 all tie with 8:32 left in the second quarter. The Eagles' defense tightened on a Redskins fourth down and two yards to go for the first down. The Eagles took over possession of the football at the Redskins 41 yard line. Later, Manuel Mendoza threw a 23 yard aerial to Dawson Kerbow for an Eagle touchdown. Next, Mendez threw successfully on the two point conversion to Nick Gold. The Eagles were now ahead of the Redskins by the score of 14 - 6. Liberal tried again to convert a fourth down attempt on the Eagles 30 yard line. The defensive team for Hugoton stopped Liberal in their tracks to give the football back to the Eagles' offense. The first half came to a close as the score remained with the Eagles holding their eight point advantage. During the third quarter, Liberal rushed for a 20 yard touchdown. They attempted a pass for the two point conversion and it was good. The game was now tied with both teams having 14 points. Hugoton went back to the air on offense when Mendez threw a 40 yard pass to Jagger Hertel. Manuel Mendoza pushed his way through the Liberal defensive line to score on a ten yard run. The two
point try was good and the Eagles went back up over the Redskins with a 22 to 14 point advantage. Liberal's offense pushed into the red zone and the Eagles defense held tight as the Redskins threatened to score from the Hugoton's three yard line. The Eagles stopped Liberal once again with a great goal line stand. The scoreboard clock now stood with 8:30 left in the contest. A penalty on Liberal nullified a punt return that would have been a touchdown. The infraction was a block in the back on an Eagle player by one of the Redskins. This pushed the ball back to the 50 yard line. Liberal turned the ball back over to Hugoton on four downs and out. As the clock wound down, the Eagles special team had a punt blocked by the Redskins to give Liberal the football 45 yards away from the goal line. The defense for the Eagles had to dig deep to keep Liberal from advancing toward a score and that they did. The Eagles took over on downs as the team from Liberal once again went four downs and out. Mendoza went to the run in order to keep the clock ticking down to zero. The ball control late in the game kept the possession in Hugoton's favor and the final score was Hugoton 22 to Liberal's 14 points.

It appears that Halloween is well on its way to Hugoton and Stevens County with the stores full of candy and decorations popping up all over town. As the big night approaches I would like to remind everyone to be careful and put safety first. Parents, please make sure your little candy seekers (and yourselves if accompanying them) have reflective clothing or accessories to enable motorists to see them as well as to make it easier for you to keep track of them. Drivers, please travel extremely slow and stay alert at all times to prevent any sort of accident. The website republi canherald.com published statistical information put out by State Farm Insurance which shows chilling facts of how dangerous Halloween night can be with it having the highest rate of child pedestrian fatalities. A study done by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis rated information from 19902010 which clearly shows Halloween to be the deadliest night of the year with 115 child deaths, an average of 5.5 a year, which is more than double the 2.6 average. Seventy percent of these fatalities were away from an intersection or crosswalk with most being ages 12-15 with 32 percent followed by ages 5-8. Please help protect our youngest citizens as they often don’t think of their own safety, only the fun they are having and the treats that await them at the next house.

Speaking of fun, the Chamber wants to send out a final reminder of the annual Spook Parade this Friday from 4:30 to 5:30 on Main Street. The area between Fifth and Seventh Streets will be blocked off to ensure the ghosts, goblins, princesses and pirates free range to gather up their treats. Thank you to the City of Hugoton for making this possible and to the businesses participating. Stop at the Chamber for special goodie bags to take home. After the Main Street fun and before the Hugoton Eagle home football game, head to Pioneer Manor for more trick or treating enjoyment. At the game against Holcomb, the Eagles will honor their seniors for a special night on the field which makes for great memories. If you dare, round off the night of fun at Nightmare on Eighth Street which is open October 30 and 31 from 7:30 to 11:30 at 801 S. Main in Hugoton with an admission price for adults and students. The event is not recommended for small children or the faint of heart, such as this Chamber Director. I do look forward to hearing about the event second hand. October 31 is also the last day to view the beautiful creations at the textile exhibit in the library’s meeting room. An array of local talent is on display and it is amazing to me how a person could make something so intricate. I learned that quilters have their own vocabulary and
style. The Chamber’s own Ruth Van Horn is one of the talented individuals displaying her quilts at the exhibit so go check it out. Don’t forget there are those less fortunate than us and everyone deserves a holiday meal so Project Hope is putting together holiday food baskets and is in need of traditional Thanksgiving food as well as cash donations. The organization currently assists around 74 local families each month and that number could jump at any time so let’s be generous for the holidays. Hugoton has always had its share of fortunate families and they are notorious for their generosity so keep the reputation strong. Earlier in the column I mentioned Ruth Van Horn. Ruth has been director of the Chamber for two years and bids us farewell October 30 as she prepares to join her husband in Nebraska. His gain is our loss as I marvel at the immaculate computer and record systems she leaves for me to work with. Hours of work have been put into ensuring this office runs smoothly and I give kudos and wish her many blessings in her new ventures. Blessings to you and your family, Ruth.

Dementia and Grandchildren The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America has designated November 1 through 7 as National Memory Screening Week. We are constantly becoming more aware of dementia and Alzheimer disease, and the family difficulties and stress associated with memory loss. A recent article from Iowa State University caught my eye as it discussed the difficulties for children when a grandparent has dementia. Here is some good information for those dealing with that situation. Janet Smith and Lori Hayungs are human sciences specialists in family life at Iowa State. They note that, in cases of dementia, grandchildren may not understand why grandma or grandpa is becoming forgetful, or why mom or dad is stressed out. Their most important message to a family is to be as honest as you can. Offer grandkids clear explanations and plenty of reassurance. Smith said parents should adapt what they say and how they say it to each child’s age and level of understanding. Make sure children know that they can ask questions. Very young children may need help understanding why grandma doesn’t remember their names, or why grandpa doesn’t want to play with them anymore. Older youth may need to talk about their feelings as their grandparent’s behavior changes, as well as the effect that these changes are having on the whole family. Research has shown that dementia can dramatically change the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, but it doesn’t have to be all negative. According to Mayo Clinic dementia isn't a specific disease. Instead, dementia describes a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking and social abilities severely
enough to interfere with daily functioning. Dementia indicates problems with at least two brain functions, such as memory loss and impaired judgment or language, and the inability to perform some daily activities such as paying bills, or becoming lost while driving. Some tips they offer that could also be beneficial for children and grandparents, include enhanced communication where children learn to maintain eye contact and speak slowly in simple sentences, when they talk to their grandparent with dementia. They can also learn to use gestures and cues, such as pointing to objects to help explain something or tell a story. Exercise is something the grandparent and child could do together. The main benefits of exercise include improved strength and cardiovascular health. Some research shows physical ac-
tivity may slow the progression of impaired thinking (cognitive) function in people with dementia. Exercise can also lessen symptoms of depression, help retain motor skills, and create a calming effect. Another activity grandparents and grandchildren could do together is simple games and thinking activities, depending on the degree of dementia. Participating in games, crossword puzzles and other activities in which people use cognitive skills may help slow mental decline in people with dementia. If you have a loved one dealing with dementia, be sure to work closely with the doctor to be aware of medications that could be affecting memory, and be on the lookout for any changes in memory. Learn as much as you can about dementia, and look for and join a support group if possible.

544-2261 USDA is an equal opportunity employer and provider NRCS Announces Deadline for EQIP Funding in Kansas Kansas agricultural producers who want to improve natural resources and address concerns are encouraged to sign up for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Kansas NRCS State Conservationist Eric B. Banks announced that November 20, 2015, will be the deadline. "Producers can sign-up for EQIP at any time throughout the year, but to compete for the upcoming funding, I encourage producers with resource concerns to submit an application by the application deadline," Banks said. EQIP is a voluntary conservation program available for agricultural producers. Through EQIP, NRCS will provide financial and techni-
cal assistance to install conservation practices that reduce soil erosion and sedimentation, improve water and air quality and create wildlife habitat. Many applicants have interest in financial assistance to address soil erosion and water quality issues on cropland. However, there is also financial assistance available for grazing land operations, confined livestock operations, organic producers, and wildlife habitat improvement, just to name a few. More information about financial and technical assistance can be found on the Kansas NRCS Web site at http://www.ks.nrcs.usda.go v. “EQIP also helps address the unique circumstances of socially disadvantaged, veteran, limited resource, and beginning farmers and ranchers, who have natural resource concerns that need to be addressed on their
land," said Banks. Qualifying Kansas producers compete separately and receive higher payment rates. Producers interested in EQIP should submit a signed application to the local NRCS field office. Applications submitted by November 20, 2015, will be evaluated by NRCS staff. For more information visit the Kansas NRCS Web site
(www.ks.nrcs.usda.gov/pro grams) or your local U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Service Center. To find a service center near you, check your telephone book under “United States Government” or on the Internet at offices.usda.gov. Follow us on Twitter @NRCS_Kansas. USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

Many retail stores allow pets to shop with their owners For many pet lovers, bringing a furry friend along on a shopping trip would be the perfect way to spend a day. While many big-name chain stores do have a "service dogs only" policy, you may be surprised to know that a number of them will in fact allow you to shop with your Shih-Tzu or browse with your bulldog. Please keep in mind that many of these stores only welcome pets on a limited basis. In some cases, the decision to allow pets is left to individual store managers. This means that while one chain location may welcome your pooch, another may have a no-pets policy. In other cases, a stand-alone chain location may allow pets, while a mall location may have to comply with that mall's no-pets policy. Rules and policies change all the time from store to store and from location to location. It's important to contact any store you plan to visit with your pet to ensure that they will in fact allow him in - even if you have brought him into that store before. Out of respect to the establishment and its patrons, any time your pet visits a store he should be leashed and under your control at all times. Some stores ask that pets ride in shopping carts and be kept
securely and tightly leashed, and some ask that they be contained in a carrier. Make sure you are aware of the store's specific policies before visiting. Department Stores Several department store chains around the country have been known to welcome pets. Banana Republic is notably dog friendly, with some locations offering treats to canine visitors. The Gap and Old Navy, which are owned by the same company as Banana Republic, have also been known to allow dogs. Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, TJ Maxx and Marshall's allow dogs in at least some of their locations, and Nordstrom has welcomed pooches through its doors for over 20 years. Bed Bath and Beyond goes above and beyond at some of its locations by not only allowing pets, but providing specialty dog carts for them to ride in. Pet Stores Perhaps not surprisingly, both Petco and PetSmart celebrate their doggie clientele, and leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome throughout each store at every location. Some locations even offer doggie day care for shoppers. Home Improvement Stores Lowe's Home Improvement and Home Depot are both well-known for allowing pets - however, the degree to which pets are welcome
varies widely from location to location. It's important to check with each individual store before bringing your dog with you to help you select your lumber or bathroom fixtures. Outdoor Stores Tractor Supply Company, a well-known agricultural and farming supply store, welcomes leashed, friendly dogs at most of its locations but that's what you might expect from a store that supports pet adoptions and holds an annual Pet Appreciation Week. Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's - both of which are hunting, fishing and allaround outdoor authorities - also allow pets at many of their locations; a fact that's not well-known, but also not surprising. Craft Stores Michael's Craft Store has a reputation for being dog friendly. While not every location may welcome your pooch, some of them will allow him to ride in the cart as you browse. Local Stores Many local chains or mom-and-pop stores work to develop personal relationships with their clientele. They also tend to have a lot of discretion and autonomy when it comes to whether or not they will allow pets in their establishments. Call ahead to your favorite local retailer. They may surprise
you by saying your pet is welcome, especially if he's small enough to fit in a carrier or shopping cart. Author: Kim Salerno is the President & Founder of TripsWithPets.com. Submitted by Trips With Pets.

Pet sensitivities demystified: Tackle the irritations affecting your animal Pet sensitivities are on the rise, yet many pet owners may be unaware of what is specifically impacting their fourlegged family members. With a host of potential allergens and other irritants possibly affecting your pet, it is crucial to understand the source so you can mitigate the negative effect it may be having on your animal's health and overall well-being. Here are three common sources of sensitivities that may be affecting your cat or dog, along with suggested remedies to help your pet lead a healthier (and happier) life. Outdoor Pollutants The great outdoors is often
a major source of allergens and irritants, which can be linked to sensitivities. Just like humans, pets can be impacted by seasonal, plantbased allergies. Pollens and grasses are common sources during the warm spring and summer months. Be aware of your animal's usual habits and take note if a reaction may be correlated with a particular season. If you are concerned, you might consider a trip to the vet to help determine your best course of action. Food Food can also cause sensitivities. Michele Dixon, a specialist in pet health and

nutrition at the pet food company, Petcurean, agrees. "Food sensitivities are increasingly prevalent in pets such as cats and dogs," she says. "If you suspect your pet may be suffering from a foodrelated intolerance, try replacing their food with one that is geared towards their specific dietary needs. For instance, Petcurean's GO! SENSITIVITY + SHINE recipes can diminish discomfort or digestive issues pets may have previously experienced." Indoor Allergens Perhaps less of a perceived threat, indoor allergens such as dust mites and mold spores can also take their toll. Cleaning your floors and carpets regularly to minimize the dust that has accumulated is one method for decreasing the risk of these issues. By closely monitoring your pet's exposure to indoor and outdoor allergens, and keeping an eye on how they react to the food they eat, you can help ensure your pet thrives. Additional information is available at www.petcurean. com. From Metro Editorial Services.

Many Kansas business owners will pay less for workers compensation insurance for 2016, according to Ken Selzer, CPA, Kansas Commissioner of Insurance. The 2016 rate filing for the workers compensation rate shows a decrease of 11.6 percent in the voluntary base rate and a decrease of 10.4 percent for assigned risk workers compensation rates. The filing came from the National Council on Compensation Insurance, Inc. (NCCI). Many of the approximately 65,000 Kansas businesses that pay workers compensation insurance will be affected by the decreases. “This rate decrease means that many Kansas companies will pay less for the insurance they have to provide,” said Commissioner Selzer. “That means more money to grow their businesses.” “Kansas has built a business environment that reduces costs and supports growth,” Kansas Commerce Interim Secretary Michael
Copeland said. “Lower workers compensation rates allow companies to invest more in the economy and create jobs.” Voluntary workers compensation base rates are used by all insurance companies writing workers compensation in the competitive market. Assigned risk rates are used for insured businesses in the Kansas Assigned Risk Plan, a state organization for those businesses who are unable to obtain coverage in the competitive market. The filing applies to all insurance carriers writing workers compensation policies for businesses in the state. The new filings were approved by Commissioner Selzer and the insurance department staff for a January 1, 2016, effective date. NCCI prepares workers compensation rate recommendations and manages the nation’s largest database of workers comp information. Submitted by Ken Selzer, CPA, Kansas Commissioner of Insurance.

Medicare open enrollment expires December 7 Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services Secretary Kari Bruffett is reminding older Kansas adults that the Medicare open enrollment period for 2016 plans began Thursday, October 15 and runs through December 7. About a half million Kansans are currently enrolled in Medicare. “Older adults should receive a letter from Medicare with notice of the open enrollment period. Coming changes in premiums, cost sharing, benefits and the availability of plans might require some beneficiaries to find alternative coverage and lead others to pay more if they continue with their existing coverage,” Secretary Bruffett said. “I urge all Kansans on Medicare to contact KDADS’ SHICK program or their local Area Agency on Aging to get the information they need to make an informed decision on their continued coverage.” KDADS’ Senior Health Insurance Counseling for Kansas (SHICK) is a free program offering older Kansans an opportunity to talk with trained, community volunteers and get answers to questions about Medicare and other insurance issues. SHICK provides you with many resources that will help

you with your struggle through the Medicare maze. “Last year our SHICK volunteers had over 38,000 contacts with older Kansans,” Secretary Bruffett said. “They have received training on Medicare, Medicare Supplement Insurance and other health insurance subjects that concern older Kansans.” SHICK volunteer counselors do not work for any insurance company. Their goal is to educate and assist the public to make informed decisions on what's best for them. Information on how to contact your local SHICK volunteers is available at this link, http://www.kdads.ks.gov/ commissions/commissionon-aging/medicare-pro grams/shick/locating- help, or individuals may call KDADS’ SHICK office for help in finding to a SHICK volunteer at 785 296-4986. Older Kansans may also contact their Area Agencies on Aging for more free information about the open enrollment process. Contact information for those agencies is available at the link above. Help and advice are also available through Sedgwick County and Douglas County senior services listed at the same link. A listing of Open Enroll-
ment public events across the state is available at http://www.kdads.ks.gov/co mmissions/commission-ona g i n g / m e d i c a r e programs/shick/medicarepart-d---prescription-drugcoverage. Call the contact phone number listed for more information about the event. In 2015, 30 percent of the nearly 54 million Medicare subscribers are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage. Most of the older adults who have chosen the traditional A and B plans won’t have to pay a Part A premium; for Part B most will pay a monthly premium. Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage, offers plans from private insurers that cover Part A and Part B costs and some prescription drug coverage plus vision and dental coverage. Medicare Part D is the 10-year-old benefit that covers prescription drugs, an optional plan that has its own monthly premium. Medicare Advantage subscribers who are happy with their premiums would be wise to check for hidden cost increases and other plan changes during the upcoming open enrollment period. The biggest hidden cost increase this year may come in the
form of the plans’ out-ofpocket maximums, which is the cap subscribers pay toward non-copay, non-pharmacy expenses. Prices and cost-sharing with Medicare Advantage Plans may also rise on items such as outpatient surgery, chemotherapy, complex procedures or durable medical equipment. Another change this year is that the cost of non-generic prescriptions may be going up under some plans. For Medicare beneficiaries using several prescribed medications, it’s a good idea to review a plan’s 2016 drug formulary to make sure medications are still covered and affordable, particularly if a physician prescribes brandname or “non-preferred” medications. “Relatively few Medicare beneficiaries re-examine their plan options each year even though doing so, in some cases, can help individuals save money on premiums or gain access to additional benefits,” Secretary Bruffett said. “I urge Kansans who are on Medicare to review their plans to make sure they are getting the best coverage they can for their individual situation.” Story submitted by Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services.

Despite the movies, books, historical references and personal delving into his story, there is much that is still a mystery about the story of Dracula -- the mythological figure purported to feed on the blood of unsuspecting victims. The blood-sucking being explored in the novel by Bram Stoker is believed to have been loosely based on an individual from Romania credited with heinous and bloody crimes. Vlad III, also known as Vlad Tepes "Vlad the Impaler," descended from a father named

Vlad II Dracul from the House of Draculesti. This was in the House of Basarab. These people were a family that had an important role in the establishing of the Principality of Wallachia, a geographical region in Romania. The Romanian word "drac," derived from the Latin word "draco," means both dragon and devil. Vlad III was a prince who spent much of his rule campaigning against the Ottoman Empire and its expansion. He was well known for impaling his enemies, and his reputation for his excessive cruelty grew throughout Europe. He was likely dubbed "Dracula" thanks to his family name. Many people believe that Bram Stoker borrowed loosely on the tale of Vlad III to create his book. Other than the name and the region in the world where Count Dracula
was supposed to have lived, there are no real similarities between the fictional and historical Dracula. According to a book written by Nicolae Stoicescu entitled "Vlad Tepes," the author expresses resentment about how the historical figure of Dracula had been appropriated by the West and converted into a popular horror icon. He is quoted as saying, "This nonsense ascribed to Dracula [the novel] is highly popular and overshadows the true image of the Prince of Walachia. Those who would like to go on cultivating Dracula the vampire are free to do it without, however, forgetting that he has nothing in common with the Romanian history where the real Vlad Tepes whom we know by his deeds holds a place of honor."
