HHS Cross Country takes State gold
Both the Boys and Girls went to Lawrence to compete in the 3A State Cross Country meet this weekend. Coach Rod went in expecting that both teams would have a chance to come out of the event with wins. His athletes did not let him down as both boys and girls teams brought home the 3A State Championship! The boys faced two time State Champions Halstead and the girls matched up to a very difficult Hiawatha group who was runner-up last year. Added to that fact was this was the first time the Eagles raced on the Rim Rock Farms in Lawrence and humid weather conditions definitely factored into the race. Halstead was the biggest threat on the boys’ side of the competition. Coach Rod came up with a Continued to page 6

Chili and Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
It’s about the residue Two, three and four decades ago, most farmers took great pride and pleasure in looking across their recently planted fields and seeing green seedlings emerging against a backdrop of black soil. That looked beautiful then. Still does. Today, some farmers look across their land and see residue cover. That looks beautiful too. The benefits of residue can far exceed the way the field looks. In case you don’t know, residue cover is developed without tillage across today’s Kansas countryside. This buildup of soil structure with the remains of crop field stubble and other residue can be a farmer’s best friend. Uniformity is the key to a successful no-till farming system. When producers think of uniformity, they should think of it every day of the year. When they look at their fields they should see uniformly spread residue, uniform soil conditions and uniform soil moisture. This same uniformity is something producers must work at continually over the long haul. Members of the Thompson Farm & Ranch in Norton County understand this concept. Richard and sons, Michael, and Brian, represent the fifth and sixth generations to farm in northwestern Kansas. On their family farming operation, they focus on their most important resource – the soil. They know their livelihood is dependent upon it being healthy and productive. They believe their soil not only needs to be con-
served, but rejuvenated with best management practices such as rotational grazing, cover crops and no-till. The Thompsons have been continuously no-tilling since 2000 when they gave up conventional tillage. “The most difficult time for those beginning no-till occurs during the first three to five years,” Michael says. “That’s when anything and everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Believe me, I know. We’ve experienced it.” Producers tend to blame these problems on no-till without realizing it is something in their system. “That’s why you need a friend or another producer who has been successful at no-till to share his (or her) experience with you,” he says. “You can’t afford to make all the mistakes by yourself.” The Thompsons understand a producer cannot go back to conventional tillage to level residue. Level residue begins at harvest time with uniform distribution of straw and chaff. If a producer has clumps, piles and bunches of the residue from a crop, the next implement that goes through the field will plug up. Cover crops have also helped the family reduce the number of chemical applications applied in a season and the need for pesticides. “The residue of cover crops provides an armor for the soil by buffering the impact of rain and creating a protective layer to reduce weed pressure,” Michael says. “They also create habitat for wildlife, pollinators and beneficial
insects.” So often producers worry about how much rain they receive. “We like to keep, and use, the moisture where it falls,” Michael says. “That’s where cover crops and residue are critical.” The use of cover crops has also helped provide their cattle operation with supplemental grazing. The Thompson family uses high-stock density grazing with daily moves. While cattle are grazing cover crops it allows their native range much needed rest and recovery, allowing more grass to be grown on their range acres. The family continues to add windbreaks, and have begun work on a more permanent water facility for their cattle. While it’s hard to figure exactly how much extra moisture the Thompsons gain with the use of their no-till program, it may be the equivalent to five extra days of moisture each year. Regardless, the use of continuous no-till farming makes their system work and causes buildup of the soil structure. The Thompsons label no-till in conjunction with cover crops a win-win situation. That includes their cropping and livestock operation. John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas.

A
person’s position in society or in an organization doesn’t always correlate with his or her moral stature. The CEO of the company is sometimes a jerk while the cleaning lady or the guy who runs the mailroom may be the nicest person you’d ever meet. The ambition which it takes to get to high places may induce some people to cut corners or treat others poorly, whereas the person who does the so-called “menial” work may realize that she serves others and thus act accordingly. There is a spiritual lesson here which it behooves us to pay attention to. That is, we should be willing to do menial work and also be willing to associate with “lowly” people. People who work in the caring professions (doctors, nurses, teachers and social workers, among others) know that everyone has their cross to bear, and even the lowliest among us have a story to tell. So take time to hear their story and don’t be afraid to associate with the lowly. Angels have been known to come among us in the form of wayfaring strangers. Christopher Simon

HMS girls face Dodge City Middle School
Cross country Continued from page 1 winning strategy to help his runners. He devised a plan that had his boys pace themselves in the first mile battle and work hard by the second mile, and finish strong by the third. By the time the boys were at the second mile the Eagles had three boys in the top ten spots and four to five were all battling the Halstead runners. Coach Rod said, “I caught the guys one more time before the finish maybe 800 meters or 1000 meters out and our first three were ahead of Halstead's second man and our four and five guys were right behind their four and five guys. Our guys had them marked as well as
we could. We executed the race plan perfectly. Miguel, Abraham and Ethan ran lights out to be in the top ten and our four-seven guys battled to the finish.” For the girls the story was different. The weather had heated up and worried the staff. Coach Rod’s concerns were that the steep climbs by second and third miles would effect the girls due to them not being used to that type of course. The girls had the same approach as the boys strategy but coach Rod would say he thought they had been a little more conservative. One of the girls top runners, Katie Heger was not a hun-

dred percent going into the day. Coach Rod said, “The biggest trouble in this race was figuring out who was not part of the team because there were a lot of good individuals in the race, so that was going to mess with the team scores.” Abby Heger stepped up for the Eagles and finished sixth and Rebecca Johnson missed AllState finishing twenty-first. “It was disappointing for Katy to not be on her top game but I think winning it all took that feeling away some. Our four -seven girls were pretty key in this effort as well. We had to have all seven finish, as I thought it was going to be a really close team score and it was. I kept yelling at Frances Gaskill that it could come down to a tie breaker and she made sure that she was ahead of Hiawatha's number six runner as that was the tie breaker,” said coach Rod. In all it was a great accomplishment for the veteran coach and his staff to bring back not one, but two State Championships to Hugoton. Coach Rod expressed his gratitude, “Coach Nik Barre and I were so proud of our kids Saturday. We want to thank all the support from parents, administration, alumni and friends who came out to see an historic run by our cross-country team. Not a bad way to finish our season, dual League Champions, dual Regional Champions, and now dual State Champions. A great accomplishment for the school and to our community. “ Congratulations Hugoton Eagles Cross Country Runners and Coaches!

Hugoton loses heartbreaker to Longhorns Friday The atmosphere for the rivalry game Friday could not get more intense. The game had more than just bragging rights at stake. The last spot for the playoffs was up for grabs. The Hugoton Eagles came into the game after beating Kingman handily with a chance to
avenge last year’s loss to Holcomb that thwarted the Eagles chance at winning District. Holcomb came in suffering their first loss of the season to Pratt, which ended their chance at repeating District championships. Both teams knew a loss ended their season

and would send one team home thinking of what could have been. The Longhorns wasted no time in the game. They took the opening drive down the field using both their ground and pound game as well as a couple passes to take the early lead. The Longhorns scored on a three yard run by Brandon Stegman. Alfredo Luna denied the Longhorns’ attempt at completing a two-point conversion after an Eagle penalty on the extra point try. The Eagles started to make a drive on their own when Holcomb forced a fumble on a Pedro Ordonez run to the outside. Holcomb capitalized on the turnover, as Trey Gilbert found Connor Van Cleave for a 40-yard pass completion to set up the Longhorns deep in Eagle territory. Even with some penalties on Holcomb’s drive, Gilbert would finally find Stegman in the end zone. The Longhorns converted the twopoint conversion to put the lead at 14-0. The Eagles suffered another turnover on their next possession, but the defense withstood Holcomb’s charge and got back to their offense after a threeand-out punt. The Eagles saw the next drive lead to the only Eagle score of the night. Tino

the Eagles’ season. It was a tough way for the Eagles to go out after a season with a lot of promise and a strong group of seniors.

HMS wrestlers begin season Middle school wrestling was in Goodland this last Saturday. Coach Salmans took eight wrestlers up north for the first tournament of the season. The boys had a pretty decent day with three boys finishing first in their bracket, one taking third, and two more finishing fourth. The three who won their bracket were Riggs Martin 2 - 0, Jeison Coreno 5 - 0 and Gerardo Rubio 4 - 1. The other notable wrestlers were Abraham Garcia 2 - 3, Josue Evans 3 - 2, and Santos Quevedo 2 - 2. In all, only two of the Hugoton wrestlers were not able win a match but were close. It is note worthy that the Eagles are returning six
Degollado found Zack Leininger for a 25-yard pass in the end zone. Holcomb saw its next drive stalled by the Eagles’ defense. However the Longhorns returned the favor and forced Hugoton to punt again on the Eagle’s next drive. The Longhorns used their bruising fullback Dillon Williams on a couple of big runs. He was rewarded for his efforts with a 50-yard pass from Gilbert. On the next Eagles’ possession, they fumbled the ball for a third time deep in their own territory. The Eagles’ defense again stepped up to the challenge and, with a little luck, held the Longhorns from scoring before the half. The Eagles’ offense tried to feed off the defense with a decent drive but saw it ended on an interception by Longhorn Michael Roth. The Eagles opened the second half with yet another good drive to only see it stall in Holcomb territory. Holcomb took the first play after the turnover on downs and handed it to Williams who rumbled for a 75 yard run ending in a touchdown. That seemed to be the final nail to Hugoton’s chances of coming back. Holcomb tacked on a couple more scores to end Hugoton’s winning season with a 47 to 7 win over the
to the season. Most of the team has little to no wrestling experience coming in.

CR ASHCOURSE What is a
in the
World
Mill Levy?
You’ve probably heard the term “mill levy” thrown around a lot in official meetings as area groups work to balance their 2017 budgets.
But what in the world does it mean?
Tax Rates
- revenue needed - on each entity’s budget are represented in “mills”. A mill is one-thousandth of the county’s total valuation. A county’s valuation is determined by the taxable properties within its limits.
Property taxes
(to be paid to the county) are determined by the value of each property. For example, Stevens County’s valuation at time of printing is $95,322,216, so one mill equals $95,322. Each budget item or entity receives a set amount of mills for each fiscal year. The mill levy is set by dividing the budget by the valuation.

Kansans safely disposed of more than five tons of unused medicines during last week’s National Drug TakeBack Day, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said Friday. Kansas law enforcement officers collected 10,574 pounds of medicines at more than 100 locations throughout the state during last Saturday’s event, according to a report from the federal Drug Enforcement Agency. Law enforcement agencies turn the drugs they collect over to the DEA, which safely destroys the medications. “Safe storage and proper disposal are the keys to preventing the accidental or intentional misuse of medications,” Schmidt said. “Kansans continue to recognize the importance of safely disposing of their unused medicines during these semiannual Drug Take-Back events. I appreciate the leadership of the DEA and our local law enforcement agencies in providing this service for Kansans.” Kansans have safely destroyed a total of 101,379 pounds of medications in the 12 collection days that have been held beginning in 2010. Unused prescriptions can be turned in year-round at many local law enforcement locations. Kansans should contact their local sheriff’s office or police department for more information.

In addition to voting for their chosen candidates and other important matters in the November 8, 2016 general election, voters will decide whether to amend the Kansas Constitution’s Bill of Rights to add a constitutional right to hunt, fish and trap wildlife. The proposed amendment would specify the people have a right to hunt, fish and trap by traditional methods, subject to reasonable laws and regulations promoting wildlife conservation and management and preserving the future of hunting, fishing and trapping. The amendment would also specify hunting and fishing are the preferred means for managing and controlling wildlife, and the amendment shall not be construed to modify any provision of law relating to trespass, eminent domain or other private property rights. The amendment would be created if approved by a majority of Kansas voters. A “Yes” vote will be a vote in favor of adding the amendment to the constitution, and a “No” vote will be a vote against adding the amendment. If the amendment passes, current laws and regulations governing hunting, fishing and trapping of wildlife would still apply, as the proposed right is subject to reasonable laws and regu-
lations. If the amendment fails, there would be no changes to current laws and regulations. The proposed amendment was introduced into the 2015 Legislative Session as House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 5008 by Representative Couture-Lovelady and Representative Lusker, but no action was taken. It was carried over to the 2016 session where it passed both chambers by large margins. The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) testified in support of the resolution. According to the Web site Ballotpedia.org, 19 states currently have similar constitutional provisions for the right to hunt and fish. Two others have constitutional provisions guaranteeing the right to fish, and two have statutes providing for the right to hunt and fish. Ver-

mont established its right to hunt and fish in 1777, but most of the other states have created their rights since 2000. Hunters and anglers provide all of the support for Kansas’ wildlife and fisheries management programs. These programs are entirely funded by license/permit fees and a federal match from the excise tax paid by hunters and anglers on equipment they buy (these revenues can only be used to fund wildlife and fisheries programs; they cannot be used for state park maintenance). The state’s share of the federal excise tax can only be returned to Kansas if someone buys a license or permit. KDWPT does not receive any state general funds for any of its programs.

MUSEUM UPDATE from The Stevens County Gas & Historical Museum Beulah Carter, Curator Stanley McGill and Billy Woodworth Provided by Curator Stanley McGill from the Stevens County Gas and Historical Museum.
Sam Neithercoat came to Hugoton in 1932, to be employed as overseer of the Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Co. natural gas wells. The wells also furnished gas for the Northern Natural Gas Co. pipeline station at Mullinville supplying 16 MCF of gas daily. Neithercoat was employed in the production department of Panhandle Eastern Company and their subsidiary Texas Interstate company. Sam came to Hugoton expecting to be here a short time, maybe six weeks. His stay was for 30 years. The first Panhandle Eastern camp was three miles west of Hugoton. Panhandle Eastern moved their camp headquarters in 1938 to a location on the north Hugoton city limits, a block east of Main Street. The first ten Panhandle Eastern Company gas wells were drilled under contract by the Walter Kuhn Drilling Company in 1936. Other wells were drilled later in a renewed campaign. Walter Kuhn came to Hugoton in 1929 responding to his brother Howard who was in the midst of a drilling campaign. The Kuhn brothers brought the first rotary drilling rig to the Hugoton gas field, and the “spudder,” a drilling rig that was used in the completion of gas wells. The rotary rig was first used
on the Grandy No. 1, south and west of Hugoton. It was completed at Christmas time, with a 15 MCF flow. The Stevens County Gas and Historical Museum is open Monday through Friday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.

Kansas Weekly Gas Prices Average retail gasoline prices in Kansas have fallen 2.9 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.00 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 2.0 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.20 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 14.0 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 4.3 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 1.9 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 2.8 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago. According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices October 31 in Kansas have ranged widely over the last five years: $2.14 per gallon in 2015, $2.96 per gallon in 2014, $3.02 per gallon in 2013, $3.32 per gallon in 2012 and $3.33 per gallon in 2011.

But, just that possibility continues to be a dominant factor in the direction of global crude oil prices and retail gasoline prices too," said Gregg Laskoski, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy. "Through October we saw the benchmark WTI crude gradually rise from the mid$40s and we also saw a streak that began in July 2014 - with the U.S. average price of gas positioned lower than the previous year for 119 consecutive weeks - end last week," Laskoski added. "Overall, market fundamentals suggest little price movement and perhaps just a nominal decrease in pump prices to begin November, with wholesale gasoline prices trending lower in recent weeks," he said.

Winter Care of Houseplants During the short days of winter, houseplant growth slows, resulting in a need to change how we care for them. Although frequent watering may have been necessary during the long days of summer, the same amount now could cause problems. Excess water fills air spaces within the soil resulting in roots that receive less oxygen than they need. Water by touch, not by calendar. If the soil is dry an inch deep, it is time to water. Be sure to add enough so that some water flows out the bottom of the pot. This will help wash out excess salts that tend to accumulate within the potting soil. Fertilization also should be reduced. Normally, it is best to apply half the amount
of fertilizer for flowering houseplants and one-fourth the amount for foliage houseplants. Too much fertilizer results in plants that become leggy and weak. Location is another factor that should be considered this time of year. Since day length is so short, houseplants may be helped by being moved to areas of the room that receive more light, such as a south or east facing window. Avoid placing plants where drafts from doors or direct output from heating ducts may contact them. Relative humidity also tends to be low during the winter. If you do not have a humidifier, frequent misting of the plants or placing them on water-filled trays of pebbles can help raise the humidity.
The Thirty-sixth Annual Holly Days arts and crafts show will be Saturday, November 12, 2016. The event will be at the Morton County Civic Center in Elkhart on Highway 56.

Newman was shot and killed by Fred McBee. Marshall Newman died in Epworth Hospital at Liberal. Friday, October 16, 1931 Thursday morning, McBee was arraigned in county court before Judge John Cole, where he waived examination, entered a plea of Not Guilty and was bound over to the District Court under a $15,000 bond, in default of bail, he was re-

Most gas furnaces have one speed. High. Trane’s XV 80, on the other hand, has a two-stage gas valve and a variable speed blower. Under most conditions it runs at low speed, maintaining a delightfully even level of warmth in your home. At either speed it’s remarkably quiet. And, with over 80% efficiency, extremely economical. Now how can you turn down a furnace like that?

manded to the county jail. Whether he will be able to procure bail is not determined as yet. Feelings ran high for a time after the shooting and are now smouldering. Newman had many friends in Hugoton and Stevens County where he had accumulated considerable property. Prior to his removal to Hugoton about six years ago, Mr. Newman was known as one of the most successful farmers in the county. He was a loyal friend and a good neighbor, with a host of friends in the city and county who are demanding that his murderer be brought to justice without unnecessary delay. Some objection was heard that the killer had been permitted to give bond at all, and that if he was admitted to bail that the amount should have been much larger. Marshall Newman was a splendid, fearless officer, always ready to do his duty. In his years of service as marshall, he made many enemies of the underworld denizens and frequent threats had been made by joint owners and their friends and supporters as to what they would do to him. This foul murder is the logical outcome of the laxity of law enforcement in this county for the past several months. It will have an immediate effect of crystalizing public sentiment against the undesirables who have infested the city and county for the past year. Echo of the shots from the assassin’s guns had not died away before there was an exodus of bootleggers and their wares from the city. Joints were dismantled and
their contents and occupants loaded into trucks and they left in a hurry. This in itself is a good thing and a fine riddance - but it came too late to save a human life - to save a family from grief - to save the fair name of Hugoton from disgrace. The body of the murdered officer brought to Hugoton is now at the Prine Funeral Home. The exact day of the funeral is not yet determined. To be continued next week.

know? According to the Food Network, thawing a frozen turkey takes several days. The popular food-based television channel says it can take roughly four to five days for a frozen 20-pound turkey to fully defrost. Thanksgiving hosts who plan to cook turkeys that weight more than 20 pounds should afford their turkeys even more time to fully defrost. The Food Network also recommends that cooks who want their turkeys to have crisp skin leave the bird uncovered in the refrigerator overnight. The time it takes to cook a turkey depends on whether or not the bird was purchased fresh. The Food Network advises cooking fresh turkeys for ten to 15 minutes per pound in a 350 F oven, while frozen turkeys need roughly 20 minutes per pound at 350 F. And while stuffing is a Thanksgiving Day staple, the Food Network recommends going easy with the stuffing. Turkeys that are not densely stuffed will cook more evenly than turkeys whose cavities are overflowing with stuffing. Submitted by Metro Editorial Services.

Then we talked about things that could help us get out of our comfort zone that 4-H helped us with. Then we talked about what 4-H is about. We talked about what everyone’s officer job is in their club. We did a fake meeting to show everyone how a meeting works.

He is unable to work at this time at the school and has been trying to hold down the fort while at home. The high school and junior high students and teachers decided he needed a bit of a pick-me-up this Halloween day.

Rolla history from David Stout Scaring the wits out of town boys wasn’t the only source of amusement and entertainment back in the 1930s. My Aunt Donna spelled out various alternatives in her musings about her life in Rolla in the late 1930s. “My parents were fun-loving and had many parties with their friends. Everett and Elaine Clinesmith were distant cousins. Everett was a local barber. Everett and Elaine had a little girl named Shirley Ann who was about four years younger than me. Ted and Virgie Williamson were also distant cousins. Ted ran the local motel. Matt and Faye ran a local gas station. Bill and Ethel Stone were farmers and had a boy Bobby, pictured here as an adult, who was about two years younger than me. These were the friends whom I remember my parents playing cards with or going to
dances. “The 1939-1940 school term was our last year in Rolla. My brother Harold was already attending college in Hays and he was a member of a dance band with the catchy motto ‘Dance by the hour with Jimmy Hower’. Jimmy Hower was the leader of the group and a close friend of Harold’s. My dad made arrangements one year for Hower’s band to come to Rolla. The band stayed at our house. In particular I remember the piano player. His nickname was Tiny and he was a fat man with fat fingers, but played the piano like no other I had ever seen. I was fascinated by his playing. Harold played the clarinet and saxophone just as he had in high school. However, after he went to college, he got new instruments. “My dad spent a great amount of time to organize the dance for Harold’s group.
PUBLIC NOTICE (First published in The Hugoton Hermes, Thursday, November 3, 2016) 1t ANNUAL MEETING STEVENS COUNTY EXTENSION COUNCIL PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given in accordance with K.S.A. 2-611, as amended, State of Kansas, that on Thursday, November 17, 2016, at the 4-H Building in Hugoton, Kansas, beginning at 6:00 p.m., the members of the Stevens County Extension Council shall meet for the purpose of: (1) electing from among their members an Executive Board consisting of a chairperson, a vice chairperson, a secretary, a treasurer, and five addi-
tional members; (2) organizing the Program Development Committees for Agricultural Pursuits, Family and Consumer Sciences Work, 4-H Club and Youth Work, and Economic Development Initiatives; and (3) consideration of the County Extension Educational Program. All County Extension Council representatives of Agricultural Pursuits, Home Economics Work, 4-H Club and Youth Work and Economic Development Initiatives are urged to attend. Nancy Johnson, Chairman Extension Council Executive Board KSU 8-23wv (1998)
He had tickets and fliers printed and distributed the fliers to the neighboring communities. I seem to recall he was able to make $100 for the band from that one dance which was probably a nice sum of money for those days and times. “I remember learning to dance by going to the local cafe on Main Street in Rolla. Saturday I would go with my sister and we would go the cafe and dance to the juke box. I learned to dance by dancing with my cousin Carol Ipson who was a couple of years older than me. “The best juke box was at the local drug store owned by Harold and Madge Worthington. The juke box was a large colorful floor model. The changing colors were as enjoyable for me as listening to the music. I loved going to the drug store for the various soda fountain drinks which was a special treat when I had the money to buy them. It was also the place I was able to purchase a gift for my mother for Mother’s Day. I almost always bought her some pictures painted on glass for fifty cents or a dollar. “I remember a special time when we went on a picnic with other friends and family to the north of town to the Cimarron River. It began to rain at some point and it got so bad we couldn’t cross the bridge to come home. The flash flood that started down the Cimarron started to wash away the road next to the

I think Mom was pretty worried and she cried some, and Dad was worried too. I remember he told me I should climb a tree and tie myself to it, and I remember telling him, ‘Don’t worry about me, Dad, I can swim. You just save Mama.’ We were caught off guard by the flash flood, as were some others who had come to this spot for a day of picnicking. Eventually, we had to wade through swift running water to a higher place and spend the night in another’s home. ”1I’ve uncovered some evidence that James Light was also attending Ft. Hays State College at the same time as my Uncle Harold. In fact, it appears they might have both belonged to the same fraternity, Phi Mu Alpha. Anyone care to shed some “Light” on this?

Consumer Corner: Gift Cards are new currency for scammers
by Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt
We recently warned you that the Federal Trade Commission has prohibited telemarketers from requesting that you wire money or give them a prepaid card number over the phone. So, that is an immediate giveaway that the person you’re talking to is a scammer. Unfortunately, the scammers are now getting around this new rule by asking for payment in another way – through gift cards. Our office has received numerous reports over the past few months of consumers being asked by telephone or online scammers to pay for things using gift cards, primarily for iTunes, and often in very large amounts. While these gift cards can only be used at the store for which
they are issued, the scammers can resell the gift cards online for cash, making it very difficult for law enforcement to trace it back to them. The scammer may be using any number of popular scams, including posing as an IRS agent collecting a supposed past-due tax bill, or a grandchild in need of help. If they ask you to go to the store, buy an iTunes gift card and then read them the number, you’ll know it’s a scam. No legitimate government agency, bill collector or family member in need will ask you to send money that way. Apple has also warned consumers to watch out for these calls, and never use an iTunes gift card to pay for anything, other than pur-
Air ambulance service now accessible to more Kansans The percentage of Kansans living within 30 minutes of an airport that is accessible to air ambulance service has risen to 90 percent. The increase, which is up from 86 percent in 2010, is documented in the Kansas Aviation System Plan Update of 2016. Increasing the number of airports accessible to air ambulance service is a goal of the Kansas Department of Transportation’s Division of Aviation. Airport improvements such as runway upgrades and installation of instrument approach and weather systems are necessary to provide all-weather access for air ambulances. Current airport projects scheduled for completion through 2017 will bring coverage to 92 percent. The ultimate goal is 94 percent coverage. “These studies are important to fully understand the whole concept of where we’re at and where we need to go to improve overall the aviation plan,” said Aviation Director Merrill Atwater. Another finding of the 2016 study shows that 55
percent of Kansans have access to commercial service in their cities, up from 32 percent in 2010. “A comprehensive review like this naturally comes with mixed results between the time data are collected and when ready to be reported, but the job gets done by pointing us to key issues for our project reviews and managing state funding, especially when partnering on a given project with the FAA,” said Dennis O’Connor, State and Federal Affairs Manager for the Aviation Division. And, said O’Connor, “That’s exactly why air ambulance coverage is advancing steadily, because the 2010 study pointed to a priority that we incorporated with state project planning.” The full report, which is required by the FAA, will be posted on the Kansas Airspace Portal, http://ksavia tionportal.ksdot.org/avia tionportal/cesium.html, today. It will also be posted to the KDOT Aviation website, http://www.ksdot.org/di vaviation/default.asp.
