John Duncan reminisces about Hugoton’s Marching Bands Dear Editor, Mr. Kilbourne: I have read several of your musings in the Hugoton Hermes, and really like them. Now this last one seems about the revival of HHS marching band really rings some bells. I started high school in Hugoton in 1948 and our newly hired band director was a fellow by the name of Karl Thurman. This fellow was an expert with the baton. He had been in the Navy and was a drum major and baton twirler in
the Naval Music World. John H. He really taught us how to march and play while marching. Also he marched with us in several parades in southwest Kansas and Oklahoma Panhandle. Some people disapproved of his marching with the band because he would really put on a show with his baton. Some felt he was taking away some of the band’s glory. None of the band members thought
so. Our band went to the Duncan Hutchinson State Fair and won first place in the BIG parade. Each day ten different bands would perform and we were real good. We boarded the train in Dodge City and rode it to Hutch, where our cars were siderailed and was our home for the days spent there. Karl and his wife Nadine were right with us, tho he didn’t do his act till the last day we were there.
Seems we had 60 or 55 members. Then in the 60’s my son was in the band when they did their bit during half time at Kansas City Chiefs football game. So over the years our alma mater has produced some good marching bands as well as taught a number of students to be good musicians. Incidentally I played Jr. Legion Baseball for your father Hoppe. My Regards John H. Duncan

Most carriers sell a variety of plans at varying costs, duration and mileage limits – everything from basic powertrain-only policies to comprehensive bumper - to - bumper coverage. Ask whether the warranty can be transferred to a new owner – that'll boost resale value. Extended warranties are also available for used cars. They're more risky to buy than new cars and thus may be better candidates. However, the older the car, the more expensive – and limited – the coverage likely will be. As an alternative, consider putting the same amount into a savings account. That way, if the product breaks, you'll have enough money on hand to replace it. If not, you'll have a nice chunk of change. Bottom line: If it will make you sleep more soundly, consider extended warranties for your major purchases. Just do your homework first and realize that peace of mind may cost much more than any repair bills you ultimately need. Jason Alderman directs Visa's financial education programs.

Out of 17 attempted passes, eight were caught. Tyler Goode caught two and Michael Baeza and Ulises Armendariz each caught three, for a total of 61 yards. The Eagles had two fumbles and lost both.

This past weekend the boys’ and girls’ cross country teams traveled to Wamego to participate in the Class 4A State cross country meet. The boys’ team placed sixth and the girls’ team placed tewelfth. The boys’ team had one individual medalist. Issac Castro placed second in the boys’ 4A race. This is the highest individual boy placer Coach Rodriguez has had in his 20 years as head coach. This was quite an accomplishment for Issac! The boys’ team really had a pretty good race. HHS boys’ team was only 20 points from getting a trophy; at the State meet, that is definitly not far from earning a trophy. The girls’ team raced well but things did not work out so well. “We just had a bad day. The girls gave us great efforts but we just did not have it on that day,” said Rodriguez. Both Coach Rodriguez and Coach Wold were proud of the efforts of the kids Saturday and throughout the season. “They gave us their best efforts all year,” said Coach Rodriguez.

Long-term care is poised to become an important issue in the U.S. as the nation's population grows older, according to Dan Weber, president of the Association of Mature American Citizens. "Each and every day, over the next two decades, 10,000 Americans will celebrate their sixth-fifth birthdays and as many as 70 percent of them, at one point as they grow older, will need some level of assistance with every day necessary chores. Some of them will be able to use retirement funds for assisted
living facilities. Seven percent of them had the resources when they were younger to purchase expensive long-term care insurance. But the great majority may need to rely on the kindness of friends and family to get by," Weber explained. He noted that those older citizens who will be impacted the most by the lack of affordable assistance will be those in the middle class. "The poor have Medicaid to help them; the wealthier can rely on personal finances and private insurance."
Medicare might be used to resolve the problem for those in the middle, he said, but Obamacare threatens to eliminate that option since it diverts $22 billion from that program's home healthcare option for seniors. "But the older generation is feisty, resilient and, most of all, independent. They have no qualms about taking matters into their own hands by nagging their lawmakers to reverse the home healthcare cuts, a task that AMAC has set as a high priority. They are also discovering new op-

tions for the near-term and long-term future." For example, Weber said, the folks at Boston's Beacon Hill Village "did what resourceful older folk do when youngsters who were supposed to deal with a problem fail: they come up with their own solutions." In 2001, a group of seniors living in the Beacon Hill section of town got together and found a way to take care of themselves in their old age. They created "a member-driven organization for Boston residents 50 and over, that provides programs and services so members can lead vibrant, active and healthy lives, while living in their own homes and neighborhoods," as their Web site describes it. Today there are more than 100 villages operating and in development across the country, thanks to the Village to Village Network sponsored by Beacon Hill Village and Capital Impact Partners, a financial institution focused on community development. The Network provides expertise and guidance for local organizations seeking to establish their own Villages utilizing volunteer and paid staff to provide “services such as transportation, health and wellness programs, home repairs, social and educational activities, and other day-today needs”. It allows seniors to remain independent in their own homes and neighborhoods and to have affordable access to the help they need. Weber said the Boston Beacon Hill project "may have started a revolution in the way such services are provided in the future. After all, the first major battle of the American Revolution took place in Boston in 1775. And so, once again Bostonians appear to be in the front lines of the fight for independence in the 21st Century-independence for the nation's growing population of older Americans."

Present were board members Warren Willis, Joyce Baughman, Milton Gillespie, Kirk Heger, Patty Lahey and Dean Van Horn. Board member Keith Rome was absent.

Jennifer Featherston, Director of Nursing at Pioneer Manor, presented the report for the Manor. The current census is 73. Nursing is now fully staffed and use of agency nurses has been radically reduced, which is a cost savings for the county. Hospital administrator Linda Stalcup gave the CEO report. She advised room rates for the Manor were increased in October. Based on the level of care provided to the resident, current room rates range from $148 to $159 per day, which is comparable to rates in other facilities in the region. Chief Financial Officer Dave Piper presented the financial report. He updated the board on the impact that Obamacare will have on the hospital. He said since most insurance policies going into effect in 2015 will have a very high deductible, more patients will be unable to pay for the care received and consequently the hospital will be seeing less revenue during the first months of 2015. He
went on to say that department heads have been very good about preparing for the coming pinch by trying to maximize revenue and minimizing expenses. Joyce Baughman informed the board of a letter she had received from a concerned citizen regarding food at Pioneer Manor. Pioneer Manor Director of Nursing Jennifer Featherston said they still have a resident council at the Manor where any wants and needs can be addressed. She said Michelle Gooch has been very good about addressing concerns about food. Residents are given a choice of food to eat at meal time and a cook is present in each household kitchen to prepare food on request during the day. There being no new business, the board moved unanimously to adjourn. The next meeting of the hospital/nursing home board is scheduled for Monday, December 1, at 5:30 p.m. in the Pioneer Manor conference room.

Four adult Whooping Cranes were spotted October 28 at Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area in Barton County but were gone by the next day. They are part of the only sustaining wild population estimated at 250 birds. Whooping cranes from this population will fly through the state in upcoming weeks, making their way to wintering grounds at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge on the Texas Gulf Coast. Records indicate that most whooping cranes will pass through Kansas between October 17 and November 10, usually travelling in small family groups. It’s not uncommon for the five-foot-tall birds to stop for rest and food at Cheyenne Bottoms and Quivira National Wildlife Refuge on their way through.

National gas price average drops below $3 per gallon Average retail gasoline prices in Kansas have not moved in the past week, averaging $2.96 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 3.9 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.99 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 8.7 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 18.9 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 33.0 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 27.9 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago. “This past weekend we witnessed the national average declining under $3 per gallon for the first time since December 22, 2010—an impressive feat that seems to have caught many motorists by surprise,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy. “We have two different scenarios for gas prices from here on— if oil prices hold their current $80 level, gas prices nationally may see their decline wind down, only dropping another few cents. But if oil prices can drop to $78 or less, we could see the national average decline for several more weeks. It's hard to tell right now which way the market will go, since oil prices have halted their decline in the last week,” he noted. Submitted by GasBuddy.com.

Do you know about the origins of Veterans’ Day? The origins of Veterans Day can be traced to the ending of World War I nearly a century ago. Known at the time as “The Great War,” World War I officially ended on June 28, 1919, with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in France. But the fighting had actually ended seven months earlier when an armistice between the Allies and Germany went into effect on November 11, 1918. The following November United States President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11 “Armistice Day” in honor of the cessation of the hostilities, and the day became a federal holiday in 1938. That act was amended in 1954 after veterans service organizations, in recognition of the efforts of soldiers who fought in World War II, asked
that the day be renamed “Veterans Day” so it honored all soldiers and not just those who fought in World War I. From MetroEditorial Services.

“Notes From Nancy” by Stevens County FACS Agent Nancy Honig
Garlic Anyone? Garlic. It offers an aroma when cooking that makes me think of Italian food and starts my mouth watering. Garlic is becoming more popular in a variety of dishes in American but we don’t come close to eating the amount of garlic that is ‘cooking-asusual’ in the Mediterranean. Even so, garlic is a crop many U.S. gardeners grow. “The fact that garlic is one of the easiest food plants to grow doesn’t hurt,” said Ward Upham, horticulturist with Kansas State University Research and Extension. “Still, our interest in raising and eating garlic probably relates
to our expanding interest in ethnic foods. And, it definitely relates to our growing awareness of garlic’s medicinal uses, which we can trace back for thousands of years in China, the Middle East and Greece.” October is prime planting time in the central High Plains for both true garlic (Allium sativum) and mildertasting elephant garlic (Allium ampeloprasum), Upham said. He recommends shopping at local garden stores or nurseries for big, hard, undamaged garlic cloves to plant, because garlic bought at a grocery store may not be from a winter-hardy
variety. “After that, all you have to do is mix in three pounds of 10-10-10 fertilizer per 100 square feet of soil. Plant the individual cloves—point up— about one to two inches deep and three to four inches apart. Water them in, mulch with straw, and then water again during any dry periods,” Upham said. The harvest will be next summer, when about 60 percent of each plant’s foliage has browned. One of the best-known examples of garlic use in folk medicine occurred during World War II. When antibiotics were scarce, doctors placed garlic poultices on wounds to prevent infection, he said. Repeated modern-day, scientific studies have indicated that eating garlic can boost the human immune system, Upham added. Some scientists suspect that garlic may also play other roles in helping modern Mediterranean cultures maintain lower rates of such chronic diseases as cancer and heart disease. How Effective is Garlic? Research on medicinal uses of allicin in fresh garlic indicate it can lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Ajoene may be useful in slowing blood clotting. In this way, garlic protects against heart disease and stroke. Studies also show that fresh garlic, in large quantities, can lower cholesterol levels. However, these results do not
apply to garlic supplements. Because garlic thins the blood, it may lower blood pressure. Other findings suggest that high levels of garlic may prevent development of cancer by stimulating the immune system and hindering growth of cancer cells. Cooking preserves allicin, since heat inactivates the enzyme that weakens its antibacterial effect. Cooking garlic also decreases the likelihood it will cause gastrointestinal disturbances. Thus, garlic may have health benefits, but not all forms of garlic are equal. Fresh garlic is the best. While garlic cannot fix a poor diet or mend an unhealthy lifestyle, it certainly can complement a good diet. Garlic becomes sweet, mellow, and nutty when roasted. Squeeze the flesh out of the cloves and spread on bread for a great appetizer or side dish. Roasted Garlic * 2 whole heads garlic * 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil * ½ tsp. salt * dash white pepper Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove some of the papery skins from the garlic heads. Cut off the top ½ inch to expose the cloves. Place garlic on baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.

This year will mark the twenty-third anniversary of Worcester Wreath Company donating Maine wreaths to adorn the headstones of our nation’s Veterans at Arlington National Cemetery. In addition to wreaths destined for Virginia, Worcester Wreath will again donate seven ceremonial wreaths to over 570 state, national and local cemeteries across the country. In 2009, wreath-laying ceremonies were coordinated in 24 foreign cemeteries; this tradition continues into 2014. In response to the many voices who wanted to share in the project, the non-profit Wreaths Across America organization was formed to expand the program by offering supporters the opportunity to sponsor a wreath. Their goal is to one day see every Veteran’s grave in the country covered to honor every Veteran during the holidays. In 2008 they expanded once again to give even more organizations the chance to help bring their goal to fruition by providing the opportunity to fund raise for their organizations needs along with helping Wreaths Across America gather sponsorships for wreaths. They would like to continue this tradition by purchasing, through donations, memorial wreaths for those Veterans whose final resting place is the Kansas Veterans’ Cemetery, as well as the Soldiers Home Cemetery, both located at Fort Dodge. Last year they were able to place wreaths on each grave in the new cemetery and place 50 wreaths on Veteran’s graves in the old cemetery. They thank everyone for their generosity! The goal this year is to purchase 330 wreaths for the new cemetery and donations received above their goal will be used to purchase wreaths in the old cemetery, which is the
final resting area for nearly 1,000 Veterans. The laying of wreaths will take place during a special ceremony at the Kansas Veterans’ Cemetery at Fort Dodge Saturday, December 13, 2014, at 11:00 a.m. The public is invited to join them for their annual wreath-laying ceremony in honor and remembrance of our Veterans. For information on how to sponsor a wreath, submit a donation or any other questions, please contact Heidi Goff, cemetery manager, at 785-743-5685 or email
Veteran interred at either cemetery, you may include their name and location with your donation. This is a taxdeductible donation. They ask all donations be sent no later than November 14 to assure order and delivery by December 10. They forward all of the donations to Wreaths Across America, while assuring that we keep proper records of donations first. Please do NOT make checks payable to the Cemetery.

As grocery store chains and food institutions in Kansas and around the globe begin to require the farms they source local foods from to have Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Certified fruit and vegetable commodities, the Kansas Department of Agriculture is working to help farmers and growers meet these requirements. “You can’t do business with Walmart, Kroger, Hy-Vee or Whole Foods unless you are GAP Certified,” said Rita Taylor co-owner of 4 Star Hydroponics in St. John. “We are hearing across the board, if you want to do business with a grocery chain you need to be GAP certified.” The Kansas Department of Agriculture (KDA) received a USDA specialty crop block grant with some of those funds being earmarked for specialty crop production. The program will assist Kansas farmers become GAP certified. To take advantage of this opportunity, download a copy of the Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Certification Cost-Share Program application. Go to www.agriculture.ks.gov/ksdaservices/grants-and-costshare-programs/good-agricul tural-practices-%28gap%29.
Audits must be scheduled three weeks prior to harvest. Audits take place during crop harvest. Farms certified between October 1, 2013 and September 30, 2014, are urged to apply for funds by December 1, 2014. The 2015 Specialty Crop Block Grants included an expansion of the GAP cost-share program for a minimum of ten farms. Deadline to submit an application and receive reimbursement for the 2015 GAP cost-share is December 1, 2015. Funds are available on a first come, first serve basis. GLOBAL G.A.P. is a farm assurance program, translating consumer requirements into GAP in a rapidly growing list of countries – currently more than 100. The Harmonized Produce Safety Standard (HPSS) is a new food safety standard managed and operated by GLOBAL G.A.P. In contrast to GLOBAL G.A.P.'s Integrated Farm Assurance Standard (IFA), the HPSS, like the current Produce Safety Standard (PSS), covers only food safety and traceability. The core of the standard is the combination of the United Fresh Produce GAPs Harmonization Initiative’s “Field Operations and Harvesting” and
“Post-Harvest Operations” standards. These standards were previously approved as the USA National Interpretation Guidelines (NIGLs) for IFA and PSS; but are now auditable as the basis of an accredited standard. The HPSS will be submitted for GFSI benchmarking. Farmers can find useful tools and resources online. For example, the checklist includes a detailed list of what control points and compliance criteria the auditor will be looking for. Going through the checklist with the farm management team is a good way to review and develop farm food safety policies. Download the Checklist for HPSS at www.globalgap.org/uk_en/wh at-we-do/globalg.a.p.-certifi cation/harmonized-producesafety/. “It makes you more aware of what you are doing. We have always tried to do the best and practice good agricultural practices,” Taylor says. “Once we received the GAP book, we were able to sit down and reflect on the importance to always write down where we receive seed, store our plants, etc. This helped us build our food safety program.” There are many online resources for farms considering
going through GAP or GHP audits, or even the GLOBAL G.A.P. Harmonized Audit. The On-Farm Food Safety Project website has information including example farm safety plans, forms and training materials in addition to more information about the industry professionals who have written and guided the development of GAP audits. Download the “Good Agricultural Practices: A Self Audit for Growers and Handlers” at onfarmfood safety.org/wp-content/up loads/ucdavis-food-safetyaudit.pdf. Additional information is available on the KDA website (www.agriculture.ks.gov/ksda -services/grants-and-costshare-programs/good-agricul tural-practices-%28gap%29). Completed applications and supporting documents should be mailed to: Kansas Department of Agriculture Attn.

Apply now for Commission Big Game Permits Applications for Commission Big Game Permits are being accepted now by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT). Any Kansas-based nonprofit organization that actively promotes wildlife conservation and the hunting and fishing heritage is eligible to apply through January 1, 2015. Once drawn, vouchers can be sold to the highest bidder to raise money for the organization’s conservation efforts, with 15 percent of the sales going directly to the chapter and 85 percent going to KDWPT to be spent on mutually agreed-upon conservation projects. If Kansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry (KSHFH) receives a permit, not less than 15 percent of the funds raised are remitted to KDWPT with 85 percent staying with KSHFH.
A total of seven permits may be issued, including one elk, one antelope and up to seven deer, depending upon the preferences of the drawn organizations. Organizations that draw a permit must first pay KDWPT the permit fee, and then they will be issued a voucher. The final recipient of the voucher then remits the voucher to KDWPT’s licensing section for the actual big game permit. Permits may be issued to resident or nonresident hunters and are valid in management units and seasons listed on the permits. Only one permit per organization will be awarded; however, individual chapters of the same organization may receive permits in the same year. A chapter or organization is eligible to receive only one Commission Big Game permit in a three-year period.
Eligible non-profits can draw a deer, elk, or antelope permit for fundraising. To apply, organizations must submit an application that includes a copy of their 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, articles of incorporation, and mission statement, as well as the organization’s preference for an elk, antelope or deer permit. Applications can be downloaded from KDWPT’s website, www.ksoutdoors.

When forecasting upland game populations, two important factors influence availability of game during the fall hunting season. First is the number of viable breeding adults available for spring production. The second is the reproductive success of this breeding population, which consists of nest success, or the number of nests successfully hatched, and chick survival, or the number of chicks recruited into the fall population. For pheasant and quail, annual population turnover is relatively high; therefore the fall population is more dependent on reproductive success than breeding population levels. Breeding population data was gathered during spring breeding surveys for pheasants (crow counts) and quail (whistle counts). Data for reproductive success was collected during late-summer roadside surveys for pheasants and quail. Heavy precipitation fell over much of the state during late summer and early fall of 2013, giving hopes that the long-term drought was subsiding. However, precipitation through the reminder of the fall and winter was very sparse, negatively affecting the condition of winter wheat, which is a major pheasant nesting habitat. Precipitation returned to many areas of the state beginning in mid-May and continued through the summer. This precipitation delayed wheat harvest, stimulated the growth of annual weeds, and promoted insect
emergence, creating better nesting conditions and excellent brooding conditions throughout much of the state. As a result nest success and chick survival were higher than observed in several years. While precipitation has improved cover and conditions for upland birds, much of the western portion of the state remains several inches behind in soil moisture and remains under emergency drought conditions. In response, USDA opened 44 counties to emergency haying and grazing of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) grasslands. CRP emergency haying requires fields that are hayed to leave at least 50 percent of the field in standing grass cover. CRP emergency grazing requires 25 percent of the field (or contiguous fields) to be left ungrazed or grazing can occur at 75 percent of normal stocking rates across the entire field. For many of the counties, this is the fourth consecutive year where CRP has been released for emergency haying or grazing. The 44 counties released this year are, however, fewer than the 66 counties released in 2013 and the statewide release in 2012. In contrast to previous years, the precipitation that Kansas has received should have created favorable conditions for growth of grasses and annual weeds on the previously hayed/grazed CRP. Thus CRP fields that have been hayed/grazed over the past four years should have improved cover this year
and this will include many of the Walk-In Hunting Access areas (WIHA). WIHA property is privately-owned land open to the public for hunting access. Kansas has over a million acres of WIHA (atlases are available at www.kdwpt.state.ks.us or at any license vendor). Often older stands of CRP grass are in need of disturbance, which can be provided by haying or grazing, to improve habitat conditions for the upcoming breeding season. With the precipitation across many regions of the state this spring and summer, the vegetative composition has improved in these previously disturbed CRP fields. If climate conditions continue to improve, these disturbed CRP fields should provide excellent habitat for production in the coming years too. Given the increased production for upland birds, Kansas should have improved upland bird hunting this fall. However, due to the limited breeding population in most areas resulting from the extended drought, harvest will remain below average this season. Kansas has more than 1.5 million acres open to public hunting (state wildlife areas and WIHA combined). The regular opening date for the pheasant and quail seasons will be November 8 for the entire state. The southwest region has 111,079 acres of public land, and 185,730 acres of WIHA open to hunters this fall. Pheasant - After record lows last year, the breeding
population somewhat stabilized this year, indicating only slight decreases from 2013. Precipitation in the region over the last year has greatly improved vegetative cover. The summer brood survey indicated that densities in the region improved by 71 percent. While the regional improvement was encouraging, densities in many areas of the region remain low despite the improved conditions, due to the limited breeding populations. Multiple years of good conditions will be required for recovery to pre-drought population levels. Hunting opportunities should be relatively good in the southeastern counties but limited throughout the rest of the region. Quail - The breeding population in the region tends to be highly variable depending on available moisture and resulting vegetative conditions. Quail densities from the spring whistle surveys were greatly improved compared to 2013. Birds in the region were likely able to take advantage of the rains received across the area late summer in 2013 resulting in the observed increase. Timing for precipitation in the area created good conditions for production this year. Brood survey results indicated a large increase in quail but still comparatively low densities across the region. Hunting opportunities should be good in the few areas where appropriate cover exists.

The three began their trip September 18. They went to Niagara Falls, then traveled through the area spending time on the seacoast of Maine, staying at Bar Harbor. They stayed in a hotel built in the l700‘s. The sisters sampled fresh lobster, but were not impressed. They really enjoyed touring light houses. During all of their travels, the leaves were displaying the beautiful fall foliage for which the area is noted. They also visited two Moscows, one in Vermont. They had a wonderful time meeting people, shopping, and seeing new sights.
Moscow celebrates Halloween
The Moscow Firemen hosted their annual Halloween Chili and Stew Feed Friday at 5:00 p.m., serving around 100 residents, and a few goblins. Then the Moscow Recreation sponsored a Halloween Carnival at the City Park. The children had a great time playing games and

Katie Murray serves up the ball.
The Rolla Library has been hosting a Lego club Wednesdays from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. numbers have Student ranged from three to 27 at times. The club is given a theme and then they strive to create whatever that theme is. Themes have included mon-
sters, faces, transportation and free play time. Mrs. Hittle and Mrs. Dunn have really enjoyed working with the kids and seeing what their creative minds come up with. If anyone has extra Legos they would appreciate any donations.
The creativity of this small community is always shining brightest during the annual Spook Parade. This year, all stops were pulled out. The judges, Gardell Schnable, Greg Bentley, Jeff Braun, Katie Murray and Jessica Pinkley, took their time in deciding the best costume for each division.
Brianna Torres, daughter of Jessica Gonzalez and Eric Torres, was the Crazy Cat Lady, with her green face mask and kittens all over her robe.
Parker Stewart, son of Brandy and Sean Stewart, a small SCUBA diver, was the winner in the age two and under category. His costume had a pop bottle for his air tank and his pacifier made the air breather.

Friday, October 31, families attended the annual ARGH Halloween party. The senior class created a very realistic haunted house, much to the enjoyment of all who attended. Pumpkin decorating was judged and the winners were Brayden Stewart, Tuckyr Russell and Alex Chavira. Faces were painted by volunteers.
Reghann Maravilla, daughter of Karessa Schwindt and Michael Maravilla was a genie with a bottle and she won the prize for the age three to four Not in Preschool category. Her flying carpet floated her around the gym. (It was a wagon!) Amiley Lewis, daughter of Cory and Kendra Lewis, won the preschool category with her rendition of the Queen of Hearts.
Brynlee Williams, daughter of Jamie Mason and Nik McNarney, was a Barbie head, complete with all the hair fixings and a table. She took the win in the first grade category.
Second grader Matthew Easterwood, son of Bob and Toni Easterwood, portrayed his favorite character, Emmet from “The Lego Movie”.
Third grade winner was Dasean Lewis, son of Cory and Kendra Lewis, in the completely made-from-scratch Mario and Yoshi costume. Austin Apelu, son of Cassie Thrall and Texas Apelu, was a basketball trophy, taking the fourth grade category.
Fifth grade winner was Owen Shores, son of Brian Shores, as the infamous ALS water bucket challenge, with what appeared as water streaming down with artificial ice cubes.
Junior High was next and there were several great costumes but the winner was Fat Albert, a.k.a. sixth grader Castor Hernandez, son of Jesus and Marina Hernandez. The final category was for High School and Adults. This was probably one of the smaller groups, but Mrs. Suzanne Murray won with her costume as a book fairy. Mrs. Kim Mauk, elementary principal and superintendent of schools, kept the down time to a minimum by telling jokes and playing different “Halloween” songs, such as Monster Mash. A great time was had by all and every participant received a bag of M&M’s.

It is time to prepare your homes, vehicles and psyches for the arrival of winter equip your vehicle with tires that will stand up to winter terrain. • Check on the status of your battery and its starting power. Cold weather can put more strain on a car battery. A battery that is already weak may not turn over when you need it most. • Replace worn wiper blades and upgrade to a windshield fluid that is rated for subzero temperatures. Each of these items will improve visibility when winter precipitation is making its presence felt. • Schedule an oil change
at the beginning of winter. Dirty oil can hinder coldweather starts and, if coupled with low coolant levels, can make it difficult for the engine to turn over. • Keep jumper cables, a battery booster pack and warning cones in your vehicle. These can come to the rescue if your battery dies and you’re stranded on the side of the road. • While you’re stocking the trunk or cargo bed, include a shovel, sand or cat litter, a flashlight, an ice scraper, water, and a blanket. These are good emergency items to
have in the event your car breaks down in the winter. You can dig your tires out of a snow drift with the shovel and apply litter to increase traction. The blanket will come in handy if you have to sit in a cold car for a while awaiting roadside service. • Consider taking a winter driving course. Icy, snowy conditions completely change the defensive tactics needed to navigate the roads. A prepared driver is one who is more likely to avoid accidents and make it home safely.

State of Kansas files formal comments with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Kansas Governor Sam announced Brownback Thursday, October 23 that the State of Kansas would file formal comments with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding proposed regulations clarifying which bodies of water are covered under the Clean Water Act. Governor Brownback, along with Secretary of Agriculture Jackie McClaskey, Kansas Dept. of Health and Environment Secretary Dr.
Bob Moser, and stakeholders expressed concerns that the draft regulation would greatly expand the EPA’s regulatory power, significantly impacting the state’s agriculture and energy industries. A letter urging retraction of the rule was signed by the Governor and five of his Cabinet secretaries and sent to the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers today. “This unlawful and unconstitutional attempt to assert federal jurisdiction over local water and land use would

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF STEVENS COUNTY, KANSAS IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF PAULYNA JO WISE, DECEASED Case No. 14 PR 3 NOTICE OF HEARING (Chapter 59) THE STATE OF KANSAS TO ALL PERSONS CONCERNED: You are hereby notified that a petition has been filed in the above Court by Robert E. Wise, executor of the will and estate of Paulyna Jo Wise, deceased, praying for final settlement of the estate, for approval of his acts and proceedings as executor, for payment of court costs, attorney's fees and expenses, and also praying that the Court determine the heirs, lega-
agencies have made no attempt to coordinate with the state on this issue. Representatives from more than one dozen energy and agriculture-related industries and organizations also were present to express their concerns about the proposed rule. “This draft rule change includes new and poorly defined terms based on ambiguous and untested theories,” said Kansas Independent Oil & Gas Association President Edward P. Cross. “The result is a proposal that attempts to usurp authority that belongs to the states. We strongly support and appreciate Governor Brownback'’s leadership in urging the EPA and the Corps to withdraw this proposed regulation.” The comment period for the draft rule change ends November 14, 2014.

My administration will continue to fight back against this continued pattern of disregard for business, industry, and farm and ranch families.” The Governor and state officials noted that Kansas already has adequate laws in place to protect waters that fall under state jurisdiction, making the proposed federal regulation a redundant and costly infringement on the state’s rights without providing any significant benefits. Officials also noted that the EPA and the Corps have issued no expected timeline for the rule change to take effect and that the federal

Plants that can improve indoor air quality Indoor air quality is not often an issue in the warmer months, when many homeowners open their windows to let the fresh air of the great outdoors enter their homes in abundance. But once the temperatures begin to dip and windows start to close, indoor air quality can suffer. Musty air is not only uncomfortable, it's also unhealthy. Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, can build up inside a home, especially when windows are kept shut for long stretches of time, which is often the case in winter. Indoor plants can counter such stale air, in some cases filtering out VOCs to make the air inside a home more breathable and healthy. The following are a handful of houseplants that can improve indoor air quality. * Aloe: Many of us know aloe for its restorative properties with regard to treating burns and cuts, but aloe also improves indoor air quality by helping to clear a home of the byproducts, including formaldehyde, of chemicalbased household cleaners. Aloe loves the sun, so if you hope to keep an aloe plant healthy through the winter, be sure to place the plant in a window that gets lots of sun
exposure throughout the day. * Gerber daisy: Like aloe, a gerber daisy needs ample sunlight, and tends to only withstand winters in warmer climates. But homeowners who live in such climates may still keep their windows closed in winter, and those that do can use these colorful, low-maintenance flowers to remove trichloroethylene, a chemical that clothes may be exposed to during the dry cleaning process. * Golden pothos: The golden pothos can survive a winter, but homeowners should be careful not to let the plant dry out, which can happen if they are directly exposed to sunlight. A golden pothos vine will grow quickly, so a hanging basket is a great way to keep one inside a home, where the plant can help fight formaldehyde. * Ficus benjamina: Also known as a weeping fig, the ficus benjamina can be difficult to overwinter. But that does not mean your ficus benjamina, which can filter pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene from a home, won't make it through the winter. You just need to figure out the right watering
and light conditions for the plant. Such conditions can be discussed with a gardening professional. * Warneck dracaena: The warneck dracaena, or dracaena deremensis, fights pollutants created by varnishes and oils. The warneck dracaena is a sturdy houseplant that is difficult to kill, but it still thrives in temperatures that are between 70 F and 80 F. From MetroEditorial Services.

KCC announces Cold Weather Rule is in effect The Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) reminds Kansans that the Cold Weather Rule is currently in effect and will remain in effect through March 31. “The Cold Weather Rule helps to ensure that Kansans can be warm in their home this winter,” said Chair Shari Feist Albrecht. “We encourage consumers to take steps to prepare for colder temperatures. Steps can include making sure heating equipment is in good working order, thermostats are set at a reasonable level, weather strip and caulk windows and doorways — these things can cut down on heating costs.” The Cold Weather Rule in most cases prevents or limits utility companies from disconnecting a customer’s natural gas or electric service during periods of extreme cold. The Rule requires utility companies
to offer a 12-month payment plan to allow consumers to maintain or re-establish utility service. Disconnection Conditions: • Utility companies may not initiate disconnection until temperatures are forecast to be above 35 degrees for the next 48 hours. • Utility companies must attempt to contact the customer by phone or in-person 24 hours before disconnecting service. • Utility companies are prohibited from disconnecting a customer’s service when temperatures are forecast to be at or below 35 degrees over the next 24 hours. The KCC wants Kansans to have the electric and gas service needed to keep their homes warm during winter months. The KCC also recognizes the customer’s responsibility to make arrangements to pay for that service. The Cold
Even super heroes can use a little help from their friends. Cat Woman (Beth Horner) provides the “draft” for Bat Girl (Veronica Cruz).
Weather Rule was designed in 1983 to ensure that both goals are met. Any residential customer with a past due balance will qualify for payment arrangements under the Rule. However, it is the customer's responsibility to contact the gas or electric company to make those arrangements. Payment Plan conditions to maintain or restore service: • Customers must contact their utility company and inform that they cannot pay their bill in full. • Customers must agree to pay one-twelfth of the total amount owed, onetwelfth of the current bill, the full amount of any disconnection or reconnection fee, plus any applicable deposit to the utility. • Customers must agree to pay the remaining balance in equal payments over the next 11 months, in addition to their current monthly bill. The Cold Weather Rule applies only to residential customers of electric and natural gas utility companies under the KCC’s jurisdiction. For a complete list of utilities regulated by the KCC visit: http://kcc.ks.gov/pi/juris dictional_utilities.htm. More information about the Cold Weather Rule is available at: http://kcc.ks.gov/pi/cwr_ english.htm. Kansans may also contact their local utility company or the KCC’s Office of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at (800) 662-0027.

It can be exciting to install new flooring, and you may be anxious to start transforming a room. But before diving right in, it's necessary to acclimate wood flooring to a home. Otherwise, you may end up with buckled wood or other problems. Hardwood flooring needs to sit in the room where it will be installed for anywhere between five and 10 days or in adherence to the manufacturer recommendations. This gives the new flooring time to adjust to the humidity level and temperature of the home. Natural wood shrinks and expands due to temperature fluctuations, which is why it is essential to match the conditions in the home before working with the flooring. The boards can be acclimated in the boxes (with the ends opened) or outside of the boxes. From Metro Editorial Services
