Nordyke earns acclaim as American Star in Agribusiness at National FFA Convention
Austin Nordyke was selected American Star in Agribusiness at the ninetieth National FFA Convention. Austin was chosen from the group of 4071 FFA members earning the American Degree this year, which is less than one half of one percent of the total FFA membership. The American Degree is the highest award an FFA member may receive and officially ends their FFA membership. His selection as Star over America was a long journey, which required a lot of effort meeting the deadlines, countless stringent requirements and perfect completion of his applications.
The application process began in January 2017, when Austin applied for his American Degree and completed the Star Battery application for Agribusiness hoping to represent Kansas at the national level with his FFA Supervised Agriculture Experience (SAE). This is the same program- Turf Grass Management with which he won Star Agribusiness in Kansas in 2016, but he had one more year of records for the 2017 application. He was nominated to be the Star Candidate from Kansas and the application went on to the national level for a more rigorous review. In July Austin was noti-
fied he was one of the four finalists from the pool of 4,071 American Degree candidates this year. Then in August, the National FFA came to town to make a video. This video is online and can be viewed on the Hugoton FFA Facebook page. This last week in Indianapolis as a National Finalist, Austin underwent detailed interviews where he used his FFA Public Speaking, Job Interview and Ag Sales experiences to win over the selection committee for his selection as the American Star. Austin also won the 2017 National Turf Grass Management Proficiency. He
also won this award last spring at the State Level, and his application was then forwarded on to National Competition and he was one of the four finalists in this Proficiency to be interviewed last week in Indianapolis. One of the judges assured Austin’s father Paul Nordyke that in 15 years of being involved with selection the judge had never seen anyone take command of the room the way Austin did last Thursday afternoon. Since the invention of the pushmower, cutting the grass represents a rite of passage for many kids. The only difference for Austin Nordyke was that his mower’s puttering speed propelled him to find a faster way to get the job done. And in 2012, this determination drove him to launch his own lawn maintenance operation - Austin
Nordyke’s Lawn Care Service. It currently serves a healthy customer base in southwest Kansas.
Austin began his business when he was in eighth grade, as part of his

Sydney performed her singing talent for the 65,000 FFA members at the semifinals and on stages at various venues in downtown Indianapolis, In. She was also selected to sing the National Anthem to open the Second General Session last Thursday. This was the second year in a row for Sydney to be selected to perform in the National FFA Talent Show. There were over 110 FFA member talent acts applying for the 40 original spots in round one of the competition. After this performance, Beesley was selected as one of the 15 top performers and participated in the semifinals by performing the song “How
Far I’ll Go” from the movie Moana. Way to go Sydney! Only three performers went on to be selected for
the Finals and Sydney was not one of them. Sydney is the daughter of Don and Renee Beesley.

PHCI to host annual Calf Fry, Beef Feed and Pig Roast next Friday The phone call comes late at night, never a good sign. The news is bad, there's been an accident, Life Watch has been called in to fly your son/daughter to Wichita. Although the accident doesn't prove fatal, the recovery will last months. There will be miles and miles of driving, many nights in motel rooms, eating away from home, lost days at work. How will we ever pay the bills?? She shivers under the covers in her so cold house. It’s noon but her bed is still the warmest place she can find. She's too proud to let her friends know her gas was turned off and she couldn't afford to get it back on. She's too proud to ask for help. She's worked so hard her entire life - raised a family, and loved a husband, all either gone or
moved far away. It doesn't seem fair, but it's what her life has become. The doctor steps into the small office with a look of worry on his face. Before he says a word, you already feel the heavy dread of the worst....Cancer. He says, “lt’s treatable, we will do everything in our power to get you through this, and here are the protocols we will start with . . . . ” . . . After you hear the word “cancer”, the sound of his voice becomes an echo in your mind. “What do I do now?” “Where do I go?” “Who can I turn to?” These are just a few scenarios of the experiences Pheasant Heaven Charities have experienced through the eyes of those we've helped.....those YOU have helped. Bank cards for travel and lodging and food, nego-
tiating with utilities to help an elderly person have the basic needs to live, Love From Above stepping in to walk a person through the journey they will have, often from someone who's been in their shoes. November 10 marks PHCI’s annual calf fry and auction, their biggest fundraiser of the year. An evening of fun, food and friendship, a reunion of sorts. Many hours of work during the year, months and days leading up to the event by unpaid, completely unselfish volunteers. Many have been helped by PHCI, many know others who have been, and still others just want to give back for the blessings they've received. PHCI board members say, “We love our calf fry. We want you to enjoy the event with as much fervor and en-

thusiasm as you can, and dig deep to help us help others. Buy a $100 raffle packet instead of a handful of tickets. Bid on some of the great auction items, even if it's just to run the bid up and kid around with the other bidders. Be happy, healthy, and respectful. But above all, be thankful you aren't in one of the scenarios above, and feel the warmth of heart in knowing you are a part of the reason others are helped, with Time, Talent and Treasure. Trust us, that will make the extra you spend well worth it.” See you all Friday, November 10 at Southwest Fresh Potato! Serving line starts at 5:00 p.m. There will be a special Veteran's Day program starting at 6:30 p.m., followed by the auction at 7:00 p.m.

Whack on the side of the head There’s an old saying, often considered conventional wisdom that sometimes you need a good whack on the side of the head. Nothing could be truer today in this speeding world of instantaneous communication. While there are countless ways of doing so, many of us remain tied to the comfort of doing something in the same way. As a result, it becomes more difficult to think about doing it any other way. Finding new ideas or a new way of doing something is akin to prospecting for gold. If you look in the same old places, you’ll find tapped out veins. On the other hand, if you venture off the beaten path, you’ll improve your chances of discovering new ideas. Crawl out of your comfort zone. Every culture, industry, business or organization has its own way of looking at the world. Often the best ideas come from exploring the way others in different walks of life do things. “Anyone can look for fashion in a boutique or history in a museum. The creative explorer looks for history in a hardware store and fashion in an airport,” journalist Robert Wieder said. Where will you look? Borrow ideas. Throughout history people have used novel and interesting ideas that others have used successfully. Our ideas must be original only to their adaptation to the problem we’re working on at the time. Dig deeper. Nothing is more dangerous than an idea when it’s the only one we have. Never stop with the first right answer you find. Look
for others. How do you keep a fish from smelling? Grill it as soon as you catch it. Keep a cat around. Burn incense. Cut its nose off. Remember, the best way to find a solution to something is to come up with lots of them. See the big picture. In 1866 an Iowa farmer watched the construction of the transcontinental railroad near his fields. After seeing the track laid and a locomotive steam by he thought, “So that’s what railroading is all about: tracks and trains.” What didn’t he see? That he could transport his products to more markets more quickly, and that once there they would compete against products from many more places. That people could travel coast to coast in less than a week. That more ideas would be shared, and different people would meet and marry. The Iowa farmer saw the steel and wheels, but he didn’t see the consequences. Look for the larger implications of an idea. Look at the big picture. Expect the unexpected. Columbus was looking for India. Bell was trying to invent a hearing aid. Often what you’re looking for leads to something entirely different. Listen to that hunch. Your subconscious mind continually records and stores unrelated data from the outside world. Later, it combines these data into good answers, or what might be considered hunches. If you simply ask, trust and listen, these hunches can sometimes lead to the right
solutions. Look for the obvious. “Only the most foolish of mice would hide in a cat’s ear,” designer Scott Love said, “but only the wisest of cats would look there.” See what’s in front of your face or ear. Think about what you may be overlooking. The resources or solutions might be right in front of you. Ask a fool. That’s what the kings of old did to break out of the group-think environment their “yes-men” environment created. It was the fool’s job to see any proposal or discussion underway in a fresh light. Peter Sellers, the brilliant British actor, played this to perfection in his last movie, Being There. He did so by extolling the trivial, trifling the exalted or reversing the common perception of a situation. Here’s an example. If a man is sitting on a horse backward, why do we assume that it’s the man who is backward and not the horse? Never assume things are a certain way. Shake up people’s assumptions and this will allow them to see things differently, sometimes more clearly. Your dreams can help resolve conflicts, refresh thinking, inspire solutions and suggest different approaches. Follow your dreams.

Nordyke From page 1 supervised agricultural experience (SAE). He soon realized that with all of the yards he was mowing, one simple mower would not allow him to keep up with the volume. So he purchased a zero-turn lawn mower. This allowed him to be more efficient and take on more yards. In addition, he invested in more backup mowers and soon was taking care of 65 lawns.
Though the money-making aspect first motivated him, all the opportunities that came with the business impressed him even more. “Over the last five years, I’ve been able to start my own business and successfully manage it,” Nordyke says. “I’ve been doing everything from bill-paying and basic accounting to taking care of my taxes.” For Nordyke, his achievement is about more than just

his business. It is also about his leadership skills and critical-thinking skills he credits FFA for developing. “I was always interested in the leadership activities that FFA offered, and it has benefitted me not only through high school, but through my first year of college,” Nordyke says. “The skills I’ve learned through FFA and through my business will stay with me throughout the rest of my life.”

The Hugoton resident is currently studying engineering technology management at Wichita State University. “With my business background in lawn care, I found this pathway. While it’s a lot of engineering, it also involves business.” Nordyke points out that his experience with FFA and with his business also helped him with a project in one of his college classes, where he had to develop an innovative product design. “All through that opportunity I was able to use my organizational skills, and eventually transition to team lead for the project.” Today his business has earned Nordyke top honors as he has been named 2017 American Star in Agribusiness. As for Nordyke’s words of advice to FFA members hoping to start an SAE project: “Do it! If you have the aspiration, go for it.” Nordyke is the son of Shannon and Paul. He is a member of the Hugoton FFA Chapter, led by advisor Les McNally.

Her stories spring from a place deep within and touch readers, bringing hope and joy to their lives. She’s consistently on bestseller lists and her books have reached critical acclaim. TV and movie westerns fed her love of cowboys and the old West. She resides in the Texas Panhandle on land the American Indian and Comancheros once roamed.

In 2015, she produced a short movie called The Eighth Floor documenting her granddaughter’s struggle with cystic fibrosis and considers that her crowning achievement.

A Deep Yearning “If you would be loved, love, and be loveable.”
W
- Benjamin Franklin
e all desire to love and to be loved, and we all know the pain of loneliness and lost love. The desire to understand others and to be understood is at bottom an attempt to feel connected. We are simply not whole by ourselves and require the connection with others that comes most completely through love to regain our sense of wholeness. This is perhaps the most pressing problem of the modern world—loneliness, alienation and disconnectedness. Much of what is said about the value of the individual and his or her right to live as he or she sees fit contributes to people “doing their own thing” at the expense of building relationships with others that might give them this connectedness and satisfy this deep yearning. Of course, there are many ways to relate to others. We can do it through friends and family. We can do it through our jobs and our hobbies. And we can even do it through modern technology, e.g., social media. But ultimately, it all comes down to being kind and loving to the people we interact with. So nurture the yearning to love and be loved, first and foremost by making yourself worthy of love. Christopher Simon
A large crowd turns out for the delicious meal served at the Memorial Hall for the United
Methodist Church Bazaar. Baked goods and craft items were also available for sale.

ROLLA
The Hugoton Hermes
By Phoebe Brummett
Ruth celebrates 100 years Ruth Stoll Trahern was born October 22, 1917, in Kismet to Noah and Lydia Stoll. She moved to Richfield in 1945 where she and her husband Richard raised four children. All four children attended elementary school in Richfield and finished high school in Rolla. Ruth and Richard were active members of the Richfield United Methodist Church for all their years in Richfield. Although Richard passed away in 1989, Ruth continued to live in Richfield until 2010, when she moved to Augusta to live with her youngest daughter, Myrla. In August of 2017, Ruth moved to Henderson, Nv. with daughter, Lana. Ruth’s son, Jim and wife, Charlene, live in Richfield and have retired from the family farming business. Loy resides in Roswell, N.M., with her husband, Jim Valdez. Ruth has enjoyed traveling and spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She has blessed the lives of many who have crossed her path
and everyone who has ever met her feels welcomed by her smile. A century has passed for her. She has seen everything from electric lines, party lines to the internet and cellular phones. She has endured many heart breaking things such as the loss of grandchildren and sons-in-law but her faith in God gives her strength from day to day. May God continue to bless this wonderful woman and her family.

The fabulous United Methodist Family will be cooking up your favorite dishes and serving from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. The meal is served in the Fellowship Hall. It is a great time of fellowship and visiting with friends, neighbors and family.
Please consider joining the community for this wonderful time of getting together. As always, a free will offering will be accepted.

Rolla’s junior high band continued a long standing tradition of traveling to Goodwell, Ok., to participate in the OPSU Homecoming Parade Saturday, October 26. Their band director, Sam Eiland, is an alumnus from the college and he loves to show off his new band students every year. This year, it was a touch colder than in years past. Since it was so close to Halloween, students were encouraged to dress in a costume, rather than their school uniforms. After performing at half time of the OPSU game, students trav-
eled to Liberal to go bowling and eat at Freddy’s. Everyone had a great time!

gathered for the monthly supper at the Dermot School. Two unexpected guests rolled in just before it was time to serve. The guests were in full costume and left many guessing who they were. One has a distinct walk and could not hide who he was in real life but his collaborator was not as easy to distinguish! Jeff Milburn and his wife Diana stopped by on their way to a costume party in Elkhart and ate supper with the community. One community member had to really study the photos before agreeing that Diana was in fact a woman! Their costumes were a hit in the Dermot Community and hopefully at the party where they went as well! Happy Halloween!

Moscow High School students will be presenting a comedy dinner theater Friday, November 17, at 7:00 p.m. Arlene’s Beauty World by Michael Soetaert (produced by special arrangement with Heuer Publishing LLC of Cedar Rapids, Iowa) will follow a dinner prepared and served by the seniors. The dinner will consist of lasagna, green beans, salad, garlic bread and desserts, including fruitcake! There is a cost for dinner and the play. To make your reservations, please go to the school website at usd209.weebly.com and click on the link Arlene’s Beauty World 2017. Please make your reservations for the dinner by Monday, November 13. Reservations must be made to reserve a place for dinner, but payment can be made on the night of the play. Please call the grade school office at 620-598-2224 if you have any questions. Arlene’s Beauty World is a play featuring Detective Dirk Cannon, played by Junior Axel Granillo, his new partner Detective O’Malley, played by Senior Molleigh McCormack and their trainee, Sam Law, played by Sophomore Clemente Rojo. The three are trying to solve the Fruitcake Bomber mystery. The victim lived in an old folks home across the street from Arlene’s Beauty World, ran by Janis, played by Senior Brittney Stuckey. The residents of the home are frequent visitors to Arlene’s, including Gerty
Poindexter (Senior Monica Gonzalez), Abigail, (Senior Adriana Salcedo), Beulah Tarkington, (Junior Morgan Lahey), Helga Von Schtompken (Junior Giselle Martinez), and Nevy (Sophomore Lydia Owens). All of the old ladies and Janis quickly become suspects of the murder due to many different motives. To add to the confusion, Chester (Senior Jaylen Mendez) who is NOT Janis’s fiancé shows up to spend time with Janis. A rival hairdresser, Maurice (Junior JJ Gonzalez), also stops by with his lawyer to try and get the formula for Basic Blue. The list of suspects continues to grow as Detective Cannon, Detective O’Malley and Sam work to solve the mystery before the Fruitcake Bomber can strike again. Will they get the old ladies to talk? Will they figure out just what the formula for Basic Blue is? And will Chester and Janis ever get married? If you want to find out and get in on the delicious food and the fun, please make reservations before November 13.

By Jess Crockford The father of wildlife management, Aldo Leopold, once said the three tools of the wildlife manager were the axe, the plow and the match. In other words, wildlife thrives on disturbance, including that resulting from fire. Although often feared, if done correctly, fire can be an effective, safe and affordable habitat management tool. In most situations, prescribed fire is by far the single best management practice for creating and maintaining good deer habitat. Fire was a natural ecological phenomenon for most of the Great Plains prior to European settlement. As a result, native vegetation is well adapted to burning. Fire effectively suppresses most woody plants while encouraging desirable grass and forbs. And, it is totally natural! Fire will control invasive species such as Eastern redcedar. While Eastern Red Cedar can meet cover requirements, it should be avoided. Winters in Kansas are not severe enough to justify dense stands of cedars for thermal protection. Cedars have virtually no forage or mast value for deer.
Also, a mature cedar can consume 35 gallons of water a day. Dense stands of cedars will have a devastating effect on natural springs and streams in an area, affecting the availability of water for wildlife. A 200pound buck will typically drink 3 to 5 quarts of water per day. The decline in soil moisture will also negatively affect the establishment of the desirable mast trees such as oaks and walnuts. So while some biologists may recommend cedars for escape cover, this does not recognize the overall negative effect of the resulting cedar forest. Such a condition not only depletes water supplies but in effect makes those areas uninhabitable by deer. There is no forage for deer in a dense cedar forest.

Youth Pheasant and Quail seasons perfect for mentoring If you know a young hunter who’s anxious to learn about bird hunting, there’s no better time to teach them than during the November 4-5, 2017 youth pheasant and quail season. During the weekend prior to the regular pheasant and quail opener, hunters age 16 and younger may hunt as long as they are under the supervision of an adult 18 or older. Daily bag limits during the youth pheasant and quail season are two rooster pheasants per day and four quail per day. Sixteen-yearold resident hunters and all nonresident youth need a
hunting license. The youth season allows the adult mentor to focus on teaching and ensuring safe hunting practices are observed. This may not be the case when youth are included in a big opening-day group. Youth also get first crack at the birds, and public wildlife areas and Walk-in Hunting Access areas are not likely to be crowded. Take advantage of these special seasons, and give a young hunter memories that will last a lifetime. Passing on our hunting heritage is critical to the future of wildlife conservation.

Eagles take third at 4A State, ladies finish twelfth n Both the boys’ and girls’ cross country teams participated in the class 4A State meet in Wamego last Saturday. The girls’ team finished twelfth and the boys’ team finished third. Saturday morning, the team had to deal with extremely cold temperatures. When the teams left the hotel it was 28 degrees and when they arrived in Wamego it was not much warmer. “We talked about the conditions that the girls were going to have to face and had them as prepared as possible for such cold conditions. We have not had many meets the past five years where the conditions were this cold. They really warmed up pretty well and we had three run their personal best and three others run season bests. Cielo Garcia led the girls to the finish with a great run,” said Coach Nick Rodriguez. The boys had a bit better conditions but ran about two
hours after the girls did. Hugoton had two boys make All-State as Abraham Garcia almost won the individual State Championship and Ethan Fox placed thirteenth to make All-State. The boys
also had four run their personal bests and two others run season bests. “We knew that Towanda Circle and Andover Central would be tough to beat. We would have had to had an almost

Eagles finish season with 14-33 loss against Longhorns Last Friday, Hugoton played Holcomb at home for senior night. The game had no playoff implications for the Eagles as they had already been eliminated the previous week with a tough loss to Kingman. Holcomb came into the game at 7-1, with their only loss being to Scott City. The Eagles’ defense looked to start strong as they put Holcomb into a three and long situation, but the Longhorns’ Trey Gilbert found a receiver on a thirty-
five yard pass. This set up Holcomb’s first score, a twoyard run, to put Holcomb up early 7-0. Hugoton’s offense struggled early on as they went three and out, setting the Longhorns up on another long scoring drive. Holcomb drove 55 yards to be held out of the end zone. The Longhorns then missed the field goal attempt. Unfortunately, things still didn’t get easier for the Eagles, who again went three and out and gave the ball back to the Long-

horns. Holcomb used the advantage to add yet another score early in the second quarter, putting them up 130. Things looked to be changing for Hugoton, as Dawson Kerbow broke off for a 21-yard run during the Eagles’ next possession. But that was all the Eagles could muster out of the drive. HHS’s defense also saw a bit of a break on Holcomb’s next possession. Mitchell Hamlin plucked an interception from Holcomb, just when they looked to be driving in for another score. This was a short-lived victory for the Hugoton team. On their next possession, Manny Mendoza found an open Bradan Slemp, who looked like he had bobbled the ball and didn’t have possession when it went to the ground on a tackle. Holcomb recovered the ball and returned it for a touchdown. Officials explained Bradan had possession and made a step before the ball came out of his hands. Holcomb added another score and went into the locker room up
the game for the Longhorns. Hugoton held them from scoring any more in the game but only found the end zone once more - on a fiveyard pass from Mendoza to Austin Dale in the fourth.

HMS grapplers earn medals at wrestling debut
Ashton Burrows ensnares his opponent at Goodland last Saturday.
Hugoton’s middle school wrestling had their first tournament over the weekend in Goodland. Hugoton took 13 wrestlers to compete, an increased number since last season. Most of the wrestlers are entering their first year ever on the mats. The boys fought hard on the day and most of them placed in their brackets. Five of HHS’s grapplers finished in the top three in
their division. Clay Gilmore finished first in the 146 weight class. Ashton Burrows, at 122 pounds, and Luis Cruz, in the 86 pound division, both finished second. Both Chase Bonsall 130 pounds, and Luis Guzman got third, at 130 pounds and 80 pounds respectively. The boys will be on the mats again this Saturday at home for Hugoton’s Annual Junior High tournament.

Thursday, November 1, 2012 Tessa Rindels has been named KSCB’s Best Gangnam Style Dancer. She also has been named “All American” by The National Dance Alliance, which qualified her to dance in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. Tessa, 17, is the daughter of Ron and Suzi Rindels of Hugoton. Thursday, November 6, 1997 Sam Bozone was inducted into the “New Mexico Old Time Fiddlers Hall of Fame” October 19, 1997 at the age of 86. Sam farmed near Rolla for many years until he retired before moving to Truth or Consequences, NM. He has played for contests, the Senior Center Meal sites and for Senior Citizens Dances for many years. He returned to the Rolla farm a couple of years ago. Thursday, November 6, 1952 A Halloween prank could have turned deadly this holiday. A pickup truck driven by David Dumcum struck a pipe trailer left across north Main Street by vandals. Dumcum said he was driving at a moderate speed entering Hugoton when a transport truck swerved to miss the pipe trailer. Dumcum swerved
to miss the transport, hitting the pipe trailer so the pole extending from the back of the trailer went through his windshield between him and his passengers, Junior Munson and Bill Suddeth. Luckily no one was hurt. Friday, June 12, 1936 Excitement ran high for a short time just after 1:00 Wednesday when the team belonging to Harley Quimby ran away with a load of hay on the wagon. The horses ran from near the alley behind the Lightcap Oil Company to near the Santa Fe Depot. The cause of the runaway is not known. The hay was strung nearly the entire distance of more than a half mile. Friday, October 30, 1931 The O.L. Sherwood Lumber Company was again the victim of a burglary last Sunday night. Entrance was gained by breaking the lock on a rear window. Some twelve or thirteen shotguns and a lot of ammunition was taken besides a couple of cheap watches. Up to going to press, there has been no trace of the burglars discovered. The O.L. Sherwood Lumber Company seems to be a

A short time ago, within a week or ten days about seventy-five dollars worth of ammunition was stolen. This occurred in the daytime and was not a breaking and entering job.

Rolla seventh grade school class of 1957-1958 Rolla History from David Stout A month ago I wrote about the year of 1957, specifically referring to the seventh grade class I was in when the world entered “The Space Age,” but before we get too far away from 1957, I want to go back and point out some things about my seventh grade class. Although most of you “newcomers to Rolla” won’t recognize many of the names or faces identified in the attached photo, the fact is, most of us – including the teacher – were derived from old stock in Rolla (or Morton County, as Ernie Breeding and Gregg Daniels gave proof to, both transfers into the Rolla seventh grade from Dermont). All of our roots were well established in Morton County by our parents, and even grandparents and great-grandparents
for a select few of us. I don’t believe that’s the case anymore. I suspect a photo of today’s seventh grade class would be the exact opposite: rather than most of the kids today being from old stock, only one or two would be able to trace their roots back to the late nineteenth century in Morton County. My hunch about this was partially confirmed a few months ago when The Hugoton Hermes published the names of the 2017 RHS graduating class: of the 11 graduating students, I recognized only one old family name (Ty Lane Dixon), a name which I can only assume traces back at least as far as my father’s generation, but certainly as far as Lloyd Dixon in my 1963 graduating class.1 So who are the exceptions

Front row left to right are Rodney Johnson, Bobby Clinesmith, Patsy Cox and Wilene Link; second row left to right are Dewey Dethrow, Donald Thompson, Margaret Cowser and Ernie Breeding. In the third row left to right are Dannie Nelson, Bobby Anderson, Edra Tarrant and Jerry Daniels. Finally in the last row are Gregg Daniels, Ivan Perkins, Phil Veatch and Betty Myers. in this old 1957 photo? There are only three: Dewey Dethrow, Dannie Nelson, and Phil Veatch. However, having said that, we could probably scratch Dannie Nelson off this list because, very similar to the two kids from up north, Dannie was from down south – just across the state line in Oklahoma. His family lived on a farm just across the state line as you drive south from Rolla towards Goodwell, slowing down for the double curve at the state line. Dannie was an “illegal Okie immigrant” in our Rolla school system, someone who was supposed to be going to Guymon to school, but because Rolla was closer, that’s where he and his older siblings came. Dewey Dethrow, on the other hand, was one of the kids of the transient Pentecostal preacher, General Dethrow, a rather odd name for a preacher of any denomination. General Dethrow was called to preach in Rolla for only three years (19561959), but then God either changed His mind, or else the General got other marching orders and left Rolla. Phil Veatch’s father was a teacher, not a preacher, and their family stay in Rolla lasted from the summer of 1953 until the summer of 1960, but like Dewey Dethrow, Phil had older siblings who managed to graduate from Rolla High School, which kinda’ got some of their family roots growing in Rolla, rooting them in Mor-
ton and Stevens Counties for quite a spell after their respective parents moved on. But as I mentioned before in the previous article, even the teacher of our seventh grade class wasn’t a transient. He was Charles Friend, the son of George and Muriel Friend, a family well established in Rolla in the early twentieth century. It’s quite amazing how Rolla has changed over the past 130 years since the first settlers came to Rolla, but not only in the physical characteristics of the streets and buildings that make up Rolla, but also in the blood lines established back then. As for the “soul of Rolla,” though, I have to wonder about the fundamental character of Rolla: has it changed much? Interestingly enough, I asked my father about this a couple of years before his death in November 2005. He was born in 1916 and I asked him, “Dad, in all the years you’ve lived in Rolla, has it changed much since you were a kid?” “Naw, not much,” he answered. That’s good. Maybe the seventh grade class of Rolla Grade School of 2017 isn’t that much different from mine over 50 years ago (or even from my dad’s over 80 years ago)! 1“A Salute to Rolla High School 2017 Graduates,” The Hugoton Hermes, Hugoton, Kansas, May 4, 2017, vol. 130, #18, special supplement.

Memories from yesteryear A little bit of history By Hazel Miller McCue Wilbur M. Miller was born in Indiana in 1856. Elizabeth Massey was born in Michigan in 1865. Their parents moved to Sumner County, Kansas, while their children were very small. Wilbur and Elizabeth had never met until about two years before they were married in 1883. He was farming at that time at Oxford, and continued farming two years longer. He then accepted a job hauling government supplies from Wichita to points in the Indian Territory, Fort Reno and Cheyenne Agency for a year. His wages for this dangerous work never exceeded twenty-five dollars a month. The couple decided to go west. Wilbur and brother Tom, made a trip to Stevens County and filed on homesteads near Woodsdale March 20, 1886, at Garden City. They built a dugout on Tom’s claim and then went back to Oxford for their families. July 22, 1886, they started the long trip to their new homes with two good horses, a covered wagon, three cows and calves, two hogs, some chickens, a walking sod plow and 50 dollars. The wagon was loaded with all the essentials, including a good bed on the top for the new eleven-dayold baby, Fred, and Mother and John, who was two years old. They traveled eighteen days before landing on their homestead, known as the “Miller Hill” which was four miles west of Moscow. We lived in a tent while the men were building our dugout. The dugout was about four feet in the ground with sod walls two feet thick above the ground and a wooden and canvas top roof
covered with tar paper and buffalo grass sod about six inches thick. The windows were about two feet wide by three feet high. Inside walls were plastered and painted. The ceiling was also painted, and the floor was one by twelve boards. There were two large rooms and a storm cave on down from the kitchen called the “back room”. The dugout had an enclosed stairway down from the outside and was clean and warm in the winter and cool in the summer. After the dugout was finished, the men made two more sod buildings, one for the horses and the other for the cows. At that time, everyone was hauling water. We hauled from the Aubrey well. There were four “newcomers,” and they decided to dig a well of their own nearest the center of the group, as no one was able to dig his own. They didn’t want it on anyone’s land, as all wanted to have the same interest in the water. The nearest center seemed to be our corner so they decided to dig it where the section lines crossed in the middle of the road. It was a hand-dug well and when it was finished, they all hauled water from there. They drew water up with a bucket and on washday, Papa would haul water to the house in barrels. Each day my folks always went down to get fresh drinking water as the well was about the distance of two blocks from our house. I remember the hand-dug well very clearly, and we used it until we could afford to drill a well and erect a windmill. (To be continued.) Taken from the “History of Stevens County and its People”, published in 1979.

Ripples of September 11 attacks reached Hugoton 16 years ago When the jet crashed into the Pentagon September 11, 2001 and flames were consuming everything, with Hugoton people connections were there. Perhaps the person with the greatest threat to his life was Lt. Colonel Frank Wolf, son of Marion Wolf and the late Paul Wolf. He was

scheduled to attend a 10:00 a.m. meeting in the area where the plane crashed. Mrs. Wolf reports, “He was at the building but he wasn”t in that area yet. He said they evacuated the area immediately through the river entrance. They were all lined up on the riverbanks of the Potomac. They knew that another plane was coming. F16’s were in pursuit of the plane which eventually went down in Pennsylvania.” Unfortunately some of the officers who were to be at the meeting were killed. The area where the carnage took place is reserved for the Navy and the Army, she said. Up to a third of the building is unThis usable, she adds. doesn’t mean structural damage but smoke damage in particular. Lt. Col. Wolf will be promoted to Col. Wolf in the spring. His expertise is in Nuclear Disarmament and he is scheduled to go to Russia soon. He visits
Geneva, Switzerland periodically. Wolf returned to work the day after the crash, preparing for a trip to Russia in November. Weston Cox was working on the other side of the Pentagon where he is a computer specialist. The son of Jeff and Jo Cox and Joe and Elinor Findley, he understates how really lucky he is...”A little bit for sure, for sure!” “Fortunately I was on the complete opposite end. I didn’t hear a thing. People started running in the halls. “I asked them what was going on. I saw fear in their eyes. They said we’d been hit by a terrorist plane. “I got out of there. It was like a movie. About 15 to 20 minutes afterward, the fuel from the plane exploded. I definitely got further away from the building.” He learned another plane was headed their way so they crossed the Potomac. “It was quite a venture. It didn’t
seem real for a long time. That burning smell will stick in my mind for a long time.” Randy Anderson, son of Lowell and Dorothy Anderson, was in a hotel near the Pentagon when the plane hit. He and other guests were kept inside the hotel by armed guards A consulting instructor based in Houston, Tx., Anderson took a rented car to Hugoton for an overnight stay at home at Hugoton before heading to his next appointment. Juanita Broaddus also reports her son-in-law Col. Morris Young possibly escaped death by being on vacation at Myrtle Beach. He and his wife, Barbara were there while the area that devastated, his area, was being renovated. Young is an Army Field Artillery officer. All in all, Hugoton’s sons have a lot to be thankful for.
