City Supervisor Paul Nordyke, center, presents them with an appreciation award from the City of Hugoton. Left to right are Kenny, Paul and Chris.

Hugoton is home to heroes Quick action by two City of Hugoton employees helped minimize damage caused by a vehicle fire.

At approximately 9:00 a.m., Tuesday, October 30, 2018, Kenny Burrows and Chris Crawford were in the 800 block of Jackson and saw a vehicle under a carport on fire. While Kenny was calling the fire department, Chris evaluated the fire. He saw the flames getting higher and, along with a strong north wind, potentially endan-

gering two nearby houses and their occupants.

Chris hollered for a tow rope, and crawled under the burning vehicle to attach it. He and Chris quickly used their pick-up to pull the burning vehicle into the roadway to prevent the fire from spreading to the home. The Fire Department and Police Department were dispatched to assist. There were no injuries; however the vehicle is a total loss.

Hugoton truly is a great place to call home.

Police arrest suspected thieves October 30, 2018 at approximately 2:30 p.m. Sergeant Gene Johnson was dispatched to Carquest for a report of theft. During the initial investigation, Sergeant Johnson and Detective Matt Lamatsch determined Yardmaster also had items taken and a suspect was identified.

The suspect was located at her residence in the 400 block of Harrison and arrested for theft. A search warrant was then obtained for the residence, and the items were located. A second search warrant was obtained and

during this search, drugs and drug paraphernalia were found. Jesse Fenton, age 27 of Hugoton, was arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Tonya Batey, 43 of Hugoton, was arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and theft.

Mr. Fenton and Ms. Batey are currently being held at the Stevens County Jail and affidavits have been forwarded to the Stevens County Prosecutor.

Tonya Hill

Tonya not only teaches the 18 students in her class, she extends the day of many of students by taking them to church, on outings like the Air Museum and to her home to bake cookies, cut pumpkins and experience a loving Christian family.

Her tireless energy and faithfulness to God and her continued witness to others, is a valued asset to this community.

County Commissioners give their approval for Extension Districting The Stevens County Board of County Commissioners met in regular session Monday, November 5 with all members, Joe D. Thompson, Pat Hall and Tron Stegman present. Also present were County Counselor Paul Kitzke, County Clerk Amy Jo Tharp and RoGlenda Coulter from The Hugoton Hermes.

Commissioners had a busy schedule for the morning: Bills - 8:30; Angela Eikman - 9:00; Tony Martin - 9:30; Bids - 9:45; Phillip Willis - 10:00; Jan Leonard 10:30; Matt Rome - 10:45; Don Beesley - 11:00; and

lunch at noon. Amy Jo had a long list of miscellaneous issues for the Commissioners to discuss also.

The Commissioners were visiting with Rodney Kelling when this reporter arrived.

Angela Eikman, the Seward County Appraiser, arrived early so she went ahead of schedule. Angela is also the appraiser for Morton County. She told of her and her company’s credentials and experience. When asked by the Commissioners she said her company does have experience with gas and oil. They serve 18

other nearby Kansas Counties. She does work with local GIS offices but does actual inspections by driving the county and has been doing this for 15 years. She does not think she could do good valuations without actually looking at farm ground, buildings etc. in town and out. Commissioners would like a proposal from her company in the near future.

Landmark - the company that has done valuations in the past for Stevens County - is reforming into a new company. They expect Stevens County to pay to

train new recruits, share them with other counties and be based in Ulysses.

Commissioners need to figure out a way of putting together a “what’s needed for a proposal” spec of sorts.

But they will need the information soon.

Marilyn Harris came in with some questions for the Commissioners.

Tony Martin was next on the agenda. They visited with him about details on the conveyer. Joe commended the Road and Bridge crew for the roads that were so bad following the recent storms and that

are now so good again. Tony said the crew would appreciate the compliment.

Sealed bids were opened for the conveyer/ loader/ stacker. The lowest bid sent in from Murphy Tractor in the amount of $43,647. was accepted.

Tony visited with the Commissioners about his scale. Fair Banks came and inspected the scales and certified them. In around two to three days later the state department came and inspected them and they failed their inspection.

Insight

By John Schlageck, Senior Editor/Writer, Kansas Farm Bureau In praise of hunting During the early days of our country, settlers hunted out of necessity. While farming and trading provided them with a great deal of food, it wasn’t enough for sustenance. To survive, they hunted, fished and trapped wildlife where they lived and worked.

Today, hunting in America offers two major benefits to society: wildlife management and an economic boost.

Most wildlife populations continue to thrive under conservation programs put into place in the early 1900s. For example, the white-tailed deer population was a meager half a million 100 years ago. With careful conservation efforts, plentiful crops, well planned hunting seasons and reasonable limits for hunters, the population has grown to approximately 32,000,000.

Almost every other wildlife species has flourished as well.

Most of these animals number in the millions today. This wasn’t the case before the efforts of hunters and wildlife enthusiasts became commonplace.

Just as impressive are the numbers on the economic impact of hunting. With approximately six percent of the U.S. population hunting today, business is booming.

For countless small businesses in rural Kansas communities, hunter spending plays a major role in economic success.

Local shops, outfitters, hotels, convenience stores, restaurants and landowners across the United States all benefit. In 2011, nearly 13.7 million hunters spent $38.3 billion, according to a 2011 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service survey.

In addition to the 680,000 jobs supported by hunters, hunting generated nearly $12 billion in tax revenues for federal, state and local coffers.

Wildlife agency positions are also supported by sportsmen

through the purchase of hunting licenses and funds collected as excise taxes through the long-running Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration.

These sportsmen contribute on average $8 million per day nationally, much of which goes toward conservation efforts. Billions of dollars have been used to protect fish and wildlife habitats throughout the country.

Through conservation efforts, money generated and jobs created, hunting remains a positive engine in this country’s economic industry.

What many fail to understand about this sacred tradition is that it isn’t just about the act itself.

Hunting provides the opportunity to experience nature. Some sportsmen will tell you the best part about hunting isn’t shooting. It’s the peacefulness and serenity of being outdoors.

Some may even feel a connection with their ancestry while hunting. It’s also an opportunity to pass such traditions to their children and friends.

For generations, families have shared these experiences and it has strengthened their relationships. It is a visceral feeling that can strengthen family bonds.

Hunting remains a way of sharing in nature’s beauty and the dynamic between human and animal have few comparisons in society today.

Hunting prevails as a part of our American identity. Millions of people take pride in hunting. Their experiences are much bigger than themselves and create this community we call hunting.

and talked to them. There is no tolerance. They must pass or be replaced. Tony said they were able to fix their scales.

Phillip Willis from the Landfill came in with the same problem. Their scales are not able to be fixed though. Motion was made and passed to get bids for the landfill new scales. All of this did not make much sense to the Commissioners or department heads as the scales are not used all that much, but as Pat was told - the state will have no tolerance for failed scales. Fix or replace - or else!

Ted Heaton came in for the Law Enforcement Center. He requested an executive session.

Jan Leonard was next on the agenda. He had some legal questions for the Commissioners. Commissioners asked him what all he had going on. They asked if he could find out something about the big electrical interchange on Road 18. Jan said he had talked to a lady from Sunflower/Pioneer and is being told it is just a switch gear. He will continue to try and find out something.

Commissioners and Amy Jo discussed various other topics.

Eunice brought in a bill for repairs at the library.

Matt Rome discussed some details for the airport.

Next the Stevens County Extension Board with guests came in. Board members present that oversee the Stevens County Extension office were, Nancy Honig, Ron Honig, Dianna Miller, Brenda Frederick, Vicky Newlon, Walt Beesley, Scott Schechter and Don Beesley.

Mary Sullivan joined them. She is the Southwest Regional Extension Director from the Garden City office. Former Extension Agent Josh Morris came also to lend his support.

The board has decided the time has come to go District and the opportunity to join with Seward County and Haskell County has come up.

The Extension Board voted to go ahead and join these two counties now and were seeking approval from the Commissioners.

The following is a note of information provided by Stevens County Extension Agent Ron Honig: “The request was for the County Commissioners to approve the Stevens County Extension office to form an Extension district with Haskell and Seward Counties. The district would be governed by a district extension board of 12 members.

Four members would be appointed by the Stevens County Commissioners initially. Two to a two-year term and two to a four-year term. At the end of those terms the new board members would be elected by the voters of Stevens County in the regular election. Each of the three counties would do the same.

The extension district would be its own taxing entity with the same mill levy in each of the three counties. Due to the higher valuation in Seward County, the taxes burden to operate the Stevens County Extension office would be reduced approximately $40,000 per year.

Currently there are six extension agents in the district.

These six agents would then work in all three counties providing educational programs and youth development activities, thus expanding the services available to each county.

County Commissioners in Seward and Haskell counties had previously voted unanimously to form an extension district with votes of 5-0 and 30 respectively.

Because Seward County is a higher value county this is the best opportunity to join them.

If Seward and Haskell form a district without Stevens there is no guarantee we will be able to join it later.”

The board members told the Commissioners that half the

state of Kansas Extensions have now gone to districts. The county would still own the Extension Office and lease it to the District, computers and vehicles will become property of the district, as will some of the Extension’s savings. All 4-H funds stay in the county. The fair will still be Stevens County and funds from the fair stay in the county also.

Commissioners made a motion and passed it, giving their approval for the Extension to join and form a district.

Amy Jo discussed the voting Tuesday with the Commissioners. Canvassing will be November 15 at 8:00 a.m. Commissioners are supposed to be there to help. Meeting adjourned.

You are hereby notified that April Kathryn Simpson, the named independent executor of the last will and testament of Jeffrey C. Voiles, deceased, has filed a petition in the above Court, together with authenticated copy of the foreign probated will of the decedent, Jeffrey C. Voiles, and the proceedings admitting his will to probate in the County Court of Randall County, Texas. The Petition alleges, among other things, the decedent was the owner at the time of his death of certain real estate situate in Stevens County, Kansas, and Morton County, Kansas, upon which decedent's will operates, as more fully described in the petition filed in this proceeding.

The petitioner prays the Court for an order admitting proceedings had in the County Court of Randall County, Texas, to probate and record in the District Court of Stevens County, Kansas, and adjudging administration of the estate within the State of Kansas is unnecessary and should not be required; the decedent's real estate, including mineral interests, described in the Petition, owned by the decedent, Jeffrey C. Voiles, be assigned to the persons entitled thereto, pursuant to the terms of decedent's will, and for further relief.

You are hereby required to file your defenses to the petition on or before the 27th day of November, 2018, at 9:30 a.m. of said day, in said Court, in the district courtroom at the county courthouse, in Hugoton, Kansas, at which time and place the cause will be heard.

Should you fail therein, judgment and decree will be entered in due course upon the petition.

Operation Christmas Child is in full swing across the nation to collect shoeboxes to distribute to needy children around the world. National collection week this year is November 12-19. This is when your OCC shoeboxes are dropped off at your designated local collection sight and collected to start their journey around the world and into the hands of a needy child. The First Christian Church of Hugoton is designated as the Operation Christmas Child drop-off location for all OCC shoeboxes in Stevens County.

Since Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, started in 1993, over 157 million shoebox gifts have been delivered to children in 160 countries. Each of these shoebox gifts presents an opportunity to share the Gospel and teach the children about the salvation gift of Jesus. This

evangelism ministry has brought millions to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.

You may pick up premade OCC shoeboxes and labels from an area church or at the First Christian Church in Hugoton. Because of customs regulations, shoeboxes can no longer contain soft or hard candy and no toothpaste.

Along with candy and toothpaste, other non-items include used or damaged items; war-related items such as toy guns, knives or military figures; chocolate or food; seeds; fruit rolls or other fruit snacks; drink mixes (powdered or liquid); liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins; breakable items such as snow globes or glass containers and aerosol cans. Please remember to include $9.00 cash or personal check in your box for shipping expense. Informa-

tion on suggested gift items, how to pack your shoebox, tracking your shoebox online and other great resources can be found at www.samari tianspurse.org.

During the collection week of November 12-19, please bring your shoeboxes to the west door of the First Christian Church at 600 S. Van Buren. The church will be open and volunteers will be available to receive your shoeboxes Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. each day. Hours of collection for Saturday and Sunday are 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. The last day for collection will be Monday, November 19 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.

If you have any questions, please contact Robynn Rome, OCC Drop-Off Coordinator at 544-4243 or 544-9577.

Satisfaction Guaranteed!

“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.”

—Proverbs 3:27 NIV

Do the Good You Can H

uman beings know how to help each other. We rise to the occasion after natural disasters, for instance, and demonstrate that we are at our best when our fellow humans need us most. But why can’t we do this all the time? What keeps us from reaching out and helping others in the mundane give and take of our everyday lives? Or why do we sometimes fail to rise to the occasion in certain crises, such as helping refugees from war-torn regions. The fact that we sometimes help and other times look away or just plain refuse to help is perhaps an indictment of our moral sentiments, the feelings of empathy and sympathy which move us to help. Sometimes our heartstrings are pulled and we rise to the occasion and other times we fail to do so.

Social Psychology offers some clues to this puzzle. It turns out that what is referred to as bystander apathy (not helping when you see someone in need) can be overcome by 1) noticing that someone needs help; 2) interpreting the situation as one where you could be helpful; 3) taking responsibility for helping; 4) developing a plan (or deciding what should be done); and 5) implementing the plan. It’s not terribly complicated. Most of us could be doing more to help our sisters and brothers in need.

Donate your shoes to Heritage Christian Heritage Christian Academy is conducting a shoe drive fundraiser until December 1 to raise funds for school. HCA will earn funds based on the total weight of the pairs of gently worn, used and new shoes collected, as Funds2Orgs will issue a check for the collected shoes. Those dollars will benefit HCA. Anyone can help by donating gently worn, used and new shoes at HCA, Bethel Friends Church, First Christian Church and The Hugoton Hermes.

All donated shoes will then be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of micro-enterprise partners. Funds2Orgs works with micro-entrepreneurs in helping them create, maintain and grow small businesses in developing countries where economic opportunity and jobs are

limited. Proceeds from the sales of the shoes collected in shoe drive fundraisers are used to feed, clothe and house their families. One budding entrepreneur in Haiti even earned enough to send her son to law school.

"We are excited about our shoe drive," said Misty Martin, HCA principal. "We know most people have extra shoes in their closets they would like to donate to us.

By doing so, we raise money for HCA, and we have the chance to help families in developing nations who need economic opportunities. It's a win-win for everyone.”

By donating gently worn, used and new shoes to HCA, the shoes will be given a second chance and make a difference in people’s lives around the world.

KU Med Center will exhibit Dr. Bundy’s discoveries KU Medical Center of Kansas City is having an opening reception for their exhibit “Medicine Unearthed” this Friday, November 9. One of the main speakers will be Stevens County Economic Development Director Jan Leonard.

Featured in this exhibit are the vials with Dr. Bundy’s cancer-fighting formula. Dr. Bundy practiced medicine in Hugoton in the early 1900’s.

He was most noted as a cancer doctor.

In the Hugoton Hermes newspaper dated July 16, 1920, it is stated Dr. Bundy

Equity Bank employees display their Halloween spirit with their yummy show of creativity! From left to right are Evonne Franco,

had removed a large cancer from Isaac Newton McAdoo’s face and was treating a spot on his nose. Mr. McAdoo was Dean Simmons’ great-grandfather.

Then in the October 21, 1921 Hermes issue - other people treated and cured of skin cancer by Dr. Bundy

were listed. After the treatment, the cancer could be removed without using a knife; it would just pull off.

Then Dr. Bundy would place the cancer in a jar of preservative along with many others on display.

A tunnel was discovered running under Hugoton’s’ current Main Streeet - beginning under the Bundy Hotel where Dr. Bundy had his doctor’s office. In this tunnel, hundreds of prescription bottles and syringe vials were also uncovered. These are part of the exhibit opening at KU Medical Center.

Dr. Bundy’s cancer-fighting formula was found among his effects. His grandchildren have donated a copy of this formula to the KU Medical Museum and also to the Stevens County Gas and Historical Museum.

The Museum has this intresting exhibit available for any guests to examine.

Cauliflower Did you know that . . .purple cauliflower is really a type of broccoli that turns green when cooked? Most cauliflower is white or creamy colored, but white cauliflower heads turn green if they get sunburned!

Cauliflower is in the cabbage, or cruciferous, family of vegetables. Eating it helps protect against heart disease and cancer. Cauliflower is high in both fiber and vitamin C, with a half cup of florets providing nearly half of one’s daily requirement for vitamin C. It also contains a fair amount of vitamin A, folate, calcium and potassium, as well as selenium, which works with Vitamin C to boost the immune system.

Cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower are touted for their high levels of cancerfighting phyto-chemicals known as glucosinolates.

When selecting fresh cauliflower, look for a head that is clean, firm, solid and heavy. Any outer leaves should be fresh and green.

Avoid heads that are light brown or that have spread out. Avoid those with a coarse appearance, and those with soft or discolored spots.

Refrigerate unwashed cauliflower in a perforated plastic bag. It will stay fresh from two days through four weeks. Rinse under cool running water, trim leaves, and remove dark spots before cooking. There are several ways to cook cauliflower: cut florets into same-size pieces, then steam, microwave, boil or stir-fry until

History from the Hermes

by Ruthie Winget

Thursday, November 13, 2008 Susan Kallenbach is the grand prize winner at this year’s Pheasant Heaven dinner. She wins the Benelli Legacy 12 gauge automatic shotgun. Pete Saltzmann is the next lucky winner of the draw at Pheasant Heaven.

He wins a Remington 870 12 gauge shotgun.

Thursday, November 13, 2003 A collection of World War I and World War II posters were uncovered after Elsie Schmidt passed away. They are now the property of Elsie’s son Gerald. The

Schmidt family operated a creamery located where Dominoes Bar and Grill is now (506 Main) from the 1920s to 1940s.

Thursday, November 17, 1988 After 31 years, Bob Nease is retiring as an officer for the Kansas Wildlife and Park Service. Bob started with the service in October of 1957.

He had some law enforcement experience and he liked the idea of working with wildlife.

According to Bob, there have been some surprising sightings in the Cimarron National Grasslands. His

Any picture of Bob Nease looks more natural if it is taken outdoors with the land he loves so much providing a background.

Nease’s last day as an officer of the Kansas Wildlife and Park Service will be November 17, 1988. Taken from the November 14, 1988 issue of The Hugoton Hermes.

most recent sighting has been porcupines. These prickly animals are not indigenous to this area.

However, he has seen one pair and several single porcupines.

He has been told there is a moose wandering around this area. The moose has been seen in Meade and in Texas, and now this adult buck seems to be headed this way as Nease heard most recently the moose was in the Guymon area.

The most interesting occurrence he can recollect, however, was the time “a bear came wandering into Elkhart. When reports like that come in, you wonder what they’ve been drinkin.’

It actually was a bear!” This was in the spring of 1984.

The juvenile black bear was packed up and moved to Colorado to an area south of Lamar.

Nease concludes, “I’m very proud of the fact that I came to western Kansas. The people out here, well, I love them and as far as the country is...I love it.”

Thursday, November 16, 1978 The Hugoton Community Theatre will present an oldfashioned melodrama in the old tradition. This presentation features Steven Nelson as the hero; Kay Spikes as the heroine; Winona Hull plays the notorious woman; Linda Stephens as the impoverished sister; and Jim Kuharic as the sea captain.

Friday, November 9, 1928 A drive over the county shows Stevens County has many thousands of acres more wheat ever sown before. Outside the sandhills area, it is one vast field of wheat. 1929 will see the largest wheat crop ever cut over southwest Kansas that was ever heard of.

Massey Family George Elmer Massey, wife Bessie and sons Carl, Earl and Dan, came to Guymon, Ok. in 1911. Mr. Massey had traded his flour mill in Missouri for farm land on Pony Creek north of Guymon. After farming there about two years, they traded the farm land to John Gardner for a livery stable in Hugoton. It was located on Main Street just north of where the IGA store is now.

After a year or so, they moved to the Kelly Ranch to farm. The boys attended the Good Luck School and then the Fay School.

About 1915, the Masseys moved back to Hugoton where Mr. Massey worked as a carpenter. In 1916, he bought the General Merchandise Store from Blackburn and Firmin and operated it as the Jumbo Cash Store. It was located in a two-story wooden building on Main Street about where the location of Farm Bureau Financial is now. In following years, Mr. Massey owned and operated two other stores on Main Street and was manager of Home

Jumbo Cash Store, 1918, located where Gillespie Insurance Agency (Farm Bureau) now stands. Standing behind the counter is George E. Massey and wife Bessie. Standing in the center aisle is son Carl and wife Maude. Seated on the stool is Dan Massey.

Mercantile also. He and his wife were active in the Masonic Lodge and Eastern Star and were members of the Christian Church.

Carl Massey married Maude Thompson in 1918.

He was employed by Trindle Motor Company for several years.

Earl Massey married Nora McAdoo in 1927. He has worked as a building contractor and carpenter for many years in Hugoton and Moscow.

Dan Massey married Mae Rainer in 1935. In 1948, they moved to Hugoton where Dan served as postmaster of Hugoton from 1949 to 1973.

All of George and Bessie’s three sons and four grandchildren received all of their public school education in the Hugoton schools, and the boys were interested in athletics.

The

Manor Banner

Some appointments and a week when the body doesn’t cooperate with the plans made on better days have limited this column to sharing some of the fun things that have taken place here recently.

Mondays, the high school has hosted some of the Pioneer Manor residents for lunch. It is a good learning situation for old and young.

We ride the bus to the school and are met by students who learn how to assist elderly and meet grandparents who are not their own. We residents are happy to have the attention of the youth. It is good to know they are being trained to have manners and to respect the frailty of the elderly.

Our slowness teaches them patience, and we work hard to need as little help as possible. The residents all think “Oh, to be young again”! We enjoy hearing what interests and plans high students have and they get to hear about old times.

The Moscow school children were delightful. It was fun to see them in their Halloween costumes. Some Manor residents clapped and danced right along with the children. Following the program the cookie treats were enjoyed, and residents were given a chance to decorate a pumpkin.

The ghosts and monster cookies were created by the Manor folks. We appreciate all who helped with those

cute and yummy treats.

Music in the Coffee Shop is a favorite activity Thursday mornings. The past week some joyful praises were sung and enjoyed by a good crowd of residents. Those who led the singing are appreciated!

Wednesday is always the ice cream social and Hugoton Hermes day! It is always fun and frequently a time to meet old friends.

There have been some changes and several new residents have come to live at Pioneer Manor. WELCOME! The beginning of what is hoped to be a new tradition will be to celebrate Thanksgiving with a soup supper, Thursday, November 15 at 5:00 p.m.

Rolla History from David Stout (In last week’s article, I explained in detail about a Kansas City cop pulling Don Thompson and me over for running a red light while we were driving around in Kansas City.

subject.)

“I see,” drawled the cop.

“What’re you boys doin’ here, anyway?”

Since our home in Rolla was over 400 miles away and we were only eighteen years old, his question was a sensible one.

“We’re KU students over in Lawrence,” thinking my answer was good ’nuff.

“Lawrence is forty-five miles west of here. What are you doin’ here?”

Obviously, our answer wasn’t adequate. Understanding the point of his question, I continued, “OH! You mean here in Kansas City! Oh, well, classes don’t start until next week and so we jist’ decided to come over and see the city.”

“Uh-huh. Whadda’ yuh doin’ in this pard’a town?”

Actually, we were kinda’ lost by this time and really didn’t know what part of town we were in. We didn’t want to admit we were lost though, and just gave some nebulous answer like, “Jis’ drivin’ ’round.” (After all, that’s what we typically did for “entertainment” back in Rolla.)

“You boys lookin’ for some whores, are you? Wanton’tuh get a little action?”

Whores? Whores!? We were both stunned. Was this the part of town we had stumbled into? We sure hadn’t noticed any whores. (…but would we fresh-offthe-farm country boys have

known one if we even saw one?)

I don’t know if he accepted our profuse denials or not. Probably not, because he proceeded to give us a lecture on diseases, using condoms, how dangerous prostitutes were, not to mention prostitution was illegal so we shouldn’t be looking for any such girls.

“Running a red light” was not the issue here. Clearly, prostitution was the subject and certainly explained why he took us both to his patrol car, why he wanted to talk to both of us, and why he was devoting all this time to a routine traffic stop. To him, it wasn’t just an issue of running a red light. He suspected we were tomcats on the prowl looking for a red light district.

I don’t know about Don, but the cop sure was a poor judge of character – me, a

brand spankin’ new bornagain Christian boy!

Finally, he gave us back our documents and said, “I’m going to let you off with jist’ a warning this time, but I would suggest you boys get your little college butts back to Lawrence and stay there.”

Since we were rather lost, we asked how to get back to I-70 to head back to Lawrence and he said, “Follow me.” He then escorted us to the I-70 westbound entrance ramp and we were back on our way to the safety of our university town, Lawrence. Except for funerals, I believe that’s the only time in my life I ever had a police escort – and it was to git’ outa’ town!

Whew. We Rolla High School graduates certainly figgered out how to spice up a boring afternoon in colorful Kansas City with nothing else to do.

Local pheasant hunting predicted to be fair

Trout is stocked in most area locations ready for the season, running now through April 15.

Trout season open at most trout waters The wait is over for Kansas trout anglers eagerly waiting for the opening day of the trout season, and more than 30 waters around the state will be stocked with rainbow trout. However, stockings were delayed a week at three trout waters in southwest Kansas. Due to unforeseen circumstances, one of the contracted suppliers will not be able to stock trout at Meade State Fishing Lake, Cimarron National Grasslands and Pratt Centennial Pond until the week of

November 5. Trout waters in southwest Kansas stocked prior to the November 1 opener include Great Bend Veterans’ Pond, Dodge City’s Lake Charles and Sam’s Pond in Syracuse.

Anglers 16 and older who fish for trout must have a Trout Permit and a fishing license, unless exempt.

Anglers 15 and younger do not need a Trout Permit, but may only keep two trout per day without the permit.

Anglers with a Trout Permit may keep five trout per day,

unless the water is posted otherwise.

Trout will be stocked regularly throughout the season, which ends April 15.

While most fish stocked will be rainbow trout of catchable size, a few lunkers are added to provide trophy opportunities.

Go to ksoutdoors.com and click on “Fishing,” then “Special Fishing Programs” to see trout fishing regulations, as well as a stocking schedule for the waters that will receive trout.

Rural Remedies

by Stevens County Extension Agent Ron Honig - Agriculture and Natural Resources Cow-Calf record-keeping booklets available for purchase Cattle producers who wish to have a pocket-sized, printed cow-calf record book may choose from two styles at the Extension office. We have two styles of record books for sale that cattle producers may use to record herd data.

First is the 2019 IRM Redbook, well known in the cattle industry as a handy record keeping device. It allows you to record a number of details on your herd that may be transferred to a computerized record system later. I think for many years some producers used the Redbook as their sole record keeping system. These books are available for a small charge each.

Secondly, we have a few copies of the K-State

Cow/Calf Record Book (MF 185). This is another pocketsized, printed record book allowing you to easily record a wide range of information on a cow herd. These are available for a small charge each.

Due to budget restraints, we will only keep a small quantity of these books on hand. Please let us know if you are interested in purchasing one or more copies, and we will order more as needed.

K-State Calving Schools to take place across state Again this year, K-State’s Animal Science Department will be hosting a number of calving schools around the state beginning in Decem-

ber.

The program will outline the normal calving process as well as tips to handle difficult calving situations. A.J. Tarpoff, Extension Beef Veterinarian, said the purpose of the event is to increase knowledge and practical skills and increase the number of live calves born.

Experts will also share tips about when and how to intervene to assist the cow and how those times may be different when dealing with young heifers. Presenters will also demonstrate proper use of calving equipment on a life-size scale model cow.

The closest calving school will be Wednesday, January 16 at the Hy Plains Education Center in Montezuma. For a complete list of calving school locations visit KSUBeef.org.

Pheasant hunting in Kansas should be fair to locally good this year. Pheasant densities had been slowly but surely recovering between 2013 to 2016 with a few areas reaching relatively high densities. A late spring blizzard across much of western Kansas in 2017 reduced nesting success resulting in a decline in the 2018 pheasant crow survey.

This was largely attributed to declines in the Southern High Plains region hit hardest by the storm.

Over-winter precipitation was limited this year resulting in short wheat and concern for nesting prospects.

Heavy spring and summer showers greatly improved vegetative cover for nesting later in the season, but also limited nest success. These conditions shifted peak pheasant hatch later into June and July than normal.

Excessive rain delayed wheat harvest - which typically benefits pheasant production - but short wheat limited the usefulness of this cover this year. Roadside counts indicate that we are likely to see a below-average pheasant population this year. The combination of heavy cover and an estimated later peak hatch may have reduced the number of detectable birds on the counts, but generally survey conditions were ideal.

Last year Kansas reported the second highest pheasant harvest in the country. Despite reduced numbers, Kansas continues to main-

• If possible, remove your vehicle from the roadway.

Kansas law states that if you are involved in a non-injury crash, and you are not hauling hazardous materials, drivers must remove their vehicles from the lane of travel on any interstate highway, U.S. highway, or any multilane or divided roadway, to help avoid other collisions.

• If your vehicle cannot be moved and is in the lane of traffic, make sure you tell the dispatcher that when you call. Also let them know if the

animal is still in the roadway.

• If you strike a deer or other animal, do not worry about the animal. KHP troopers or local law enforcement officers will move the animal when they arrive.

• If possible, remain in your vehicle, and remain buckled up. If a secondary crash would occur involving your vehicle or another nearby, you are more protected than if you are out in the roadway or on the shoulder.

• If you must be outside of your vehicle, make sure it is as far off the road as possible; make sure your hazard

USDA offers online business options Farmers, ranchers and agricultural producers in Kansas have new online options to access U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs.

Through USDA’s new streamlined process, producers can now register, track and manage their applications for the Market Facilitation Program (MFP) and 2017 Wildfires Hurricanes Indemnity Program (2017 WHIP) on the secure and convenient https://www. farmers.gov/sign-in.

“You can conduct business with USDA from the comfort of your home, office, or mobile device,” said SED David Schemm, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) State Executive Director for Kansas.

“These online services save time, reduce paperwork and, in some cases, speed up processing.”

MFP and 2017 WHIP are administered by FSA and are currently available on the

https://www.farmers.gov/ sign-in. To apply and manage their applications online, producers first need to sign up for the Level 2 eAuthentication access. Enrolling is a two-step process. For producers who do not already have an account can register for an account at www.eauth.usda.gov. After creating the account, customers receive a confirmation email with instructions for identity verification. Identity verification can be completed online or by presenting a government issued photo ID in person at a USDA service center.

In addition to the programs available through the farm ers.gov portal, other programs offered by FSA can be managed at the Online Services page with the same eAuthentication credentials.

“We know doing business online has become a key part of many agricultural operations and hope our online

services can provide the ease and convenience you’ve come to expect,” said SED Schemm.

Individual producers have many options available for conducting business online with USDA agencies including FSA, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Risk Management Agency (RMA). Online tools such as the NRCS Conservation Client Gateway offer customers added flexibility and a secure Web portal to track payments, report completed practices, request assistance, and sign documents. Level 2 eAuthentication access is not yet available for entities, but it is available for individuals.

To learn more about conducting business with USDA online and to locate the nearest USDA service center, visit www.farmers.gov.

The pheasant crow index decreased this spring after heavy spring snowfall impacted nesting success in 2017. Roadside surveys showed slight declines in the region, after heavy rainfall throughout spring and summer likely decreased production. The highest densities will be in the western half of the region where the rainfall wasn’t as extreme.

Pheasant season opens this weekend.

KHP urges extra precautions during peak deer season With deer on the move this time of year, and the peak day (November 13) for vehicle-deer crashes quickly approaching, the Kansas Highway Patrol would like to remind motorists of some important tips to keep in mind when travelling Kansas’ roadways.

• If you see a deer or other animal on the road, do not swerve to avoid it, slow down, and if you must, strike it rather than swerving.

Swerving can lead to overcorrecting your vehicle, which is often more dangerous than just hitting the

tain one of the best pheasant populations in the country and the fall harvest should again be among the leading states. The best areas this year will likely be in the northern half of the Kansas pheasant range with areas of high densities also found in central and far southwestern regions.

Southern High Plains Public Land - 111,079 acres WIHA - 189,255 acres Pheasant hunting will remain fair to good, with bird

lights are activated; don’t stand between your vehicle and another vehicle; and make sure your children are kept properly restrained in your vehicle.

Consumer Corner

by Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt

Consider using a security freeze to protect your identity It seems like nearly every week we hear news reports about another company or organization whose data has been breached, putting its customers’ information at risk for identity theft. While there is little you can do to prevent the companies you do business with from getting hacked, there are steps you can take that may help protect you in the event your information is stolen.

One of those steps you might want to consider is to place a “security freeze” on your credit report. You may have recently heard that a new federal law, which took effect in September, now makes it free for consumers to “freeze” or “thaw” their credit reports. In Kansas, we were ahead of the national trend, as the Legislature passed a state law requiring free security freezes for Kansas consumers, which took effect July 1.

A security freeze prohibits the credit bureaus, with cer-

tain exceptions, from releasing your credit report or any information on it without your express authorization. That makes it hard for identity thieves to open new accounts using your Social Security Number, since the credit check would come back showing that the report has been frozen. That also means, however, it will be difficult for you to open new accounts while your report is frozen. If you wish to apply for a new loan, open a new credit card or bank account while the freeze is in place, you will need to contact the credit bureaus to temporarily lift the freeze. This will require giving them the password or PIN number you received when you put the freeze in place. Freezes will remain in place indefinitely, until you choose to thaw your report.

Another option that is now available under the new

federal law is year-long fraud alerts. Fraud alerts are also free, and do not lock down your credit report in the same way as a security freeze. A fraud alert will allow creditors to access your report, but requires them to take additional steps to verify your identity before opening a new account. Previously, these alerts only lasted for 90 days. Under the new law, fraud alerts will last for a year – or seven years if you have been the victim of identity theft and provide a copy of an identity theft complaint. You may file an identity theft complaint with our office online at www.In YourCornerKansas.org.

All requests for a security freeze or fraud alert should be made in writing, whether by mail or online. You can find more information on how to place these, including links to the credit bureaus’ online forms, on our consumer protection Web site at InYourCornerKansas.org.

Hugoton Middle School basketball teams traveled October 29 to take on Dodge City Middle School. It was a tough loss for the seventh grade “A” team, 25-27. Lady Eagles were ahead most of the game, but at the very end Dodge got eight points to Hugoton’s six to get the win.

Raeleigh Angell led the team with seven points and Danica Amerin came on strong with six points. At half time, Hugoton was only down by one point, and in the third quarter Hugoton was ahead by one. “Jackie Coreno kept the game alive with her rebounds, even with her four fouls, she stuck in there,” says Coach Kennedy.

HMS has a few games at home this week, please come out and support these girls!

The seventh grade “B” team pulled out another win against DCMS winning 9-7.

Dodge City on the defense side. Yareli Juarez was able to get the majority of Hugoton’s points with five, Shiloh Goetzinger ended with two and Ava Skinner had two also.

Dioselina Tinoco stepped it up and will be seeing more court time after this game, she was reading the offense well and stayed on her opponent like glue.

“We still have some timid players and we are working more on our aggressiveness.

We do well on our defense, just need to get that confidence to shoot the ball and make the play on offense.

These girls will be playing several games and we would love for you to come out and join them at home games.

Hugoton Gas Prices As of Tuesday, November 6 Brown Dupree - $2.58 Eagles Landing - $2.41 Kangaroo Express -$2.52 Carter’s - $2.69 Toot N Totum - $2.52 Gasoline prices in Kansas have fallen 5.6 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.56 per gallon Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 1,329 stations in Kansas. This compares with the national average that has fallen 7.0 cents per gallon versus last week to $2.73 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.

"Motorists have just enjoyed the largest one week decline in average gas prices in 2018 with the national average falling to its lowest level since April," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "Oil markets have been weak as refinery maintenance season has slowed down crude oil inputs, leading to oil inventories that have risen noticeably. In addition, jitters over the economy and stock market have helped to push values down.

But beware - any politician taking credit ahead of the elections is absolutely pulling your leg. We should see prices move lower yet again - but this behavior is par for the course every autumn. In addition, sanctions on Iran were reimposed yesterday, but while some countries that import oil from Iran have waivers, those waivers may be temporaryso the drop at the pump may not continue indefinitely."

Students brave rain to get a pumpkin The Rolla Elementary students traveled to Tucker’s Pumpkin Patch in the rain Wednesday, October 31, for their chance to get a pumpkin! Each student was able to get his/her very own pumpkin, courtesy of Jim Tucker’s pumpkin patch.

Due to the rain, the day was cut short but students were still extremely grateful for the opportunity to choose their pumpkin and tour the farm. Hopefully, next year, weather will be more cooperative.

Bob Stewart participates in Honor Flight Former E5 Robert C. Stewart, U.S. Army, was delighted to be part of the Kansas Honor Flight #66 from October 31 until November 2.

Robert or Bob, as he is better known to family and friends, served from 1967 until 1969. He spent one year in Vietnam and finished his last six months at Fort Campbell, Ky. Due to Bob’s health, a gentleman from Elkhart, Vince Forbes, was appointed as Bob’s guardian during the trip. The two developed a very close bond.

Bob remembered other fallen friends during his time, especially his brotherin-law, Larry Lewis, while at the Air Force Memorial. Bob and Larry both served in Vietnam at the same time and were only 35 miles apart most of the time. They were unable to see each other but were able to correspond.

The entire trip has left Bob very emotional but grateful to this country. We as a community are grateful for your service Bob. We appreciate all your sacrifices for our freedom.

Annual Spook parade is scary to all

Spooks and pirates were all the rage Wednesday, October 31 in Rolla. The annual Spook parade was in the old gym, minus any sound equipment.

The parade showcased the community’s creativity with all the unique costumes. Judges Kaberlin Hull and Alonzo Martinez had the difficult task of choosing the winners.

First up was birth to age two. Paxton and Paisley Dunn as Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Carter Pinkley as Charlie Brown were chosen as the winners in this division. Then the three and four year olds NOT in school were next. Kaiden Hull as Aladdin and Avaia Villegas as Zoe from Super Monsters were chosen as winners. The winners from each of the youngest age divisions were brought back and Charlie Brown and Aladdin were chosen as the overall winners.

Next up was preschool in school. The winners in this group were Emma Schnable as Crazy Cat Lady and Alanna Sanchez Peachey as a witch. The Kindergarten group was next and Eli Hull as a tractor driver and Elizabeth Garcia as a gypsy.

First and second grade students paraded at the same time and Charlotte Wood as Belle from Beauty and the Beast and Aubery Martinez as a blue mermaid were chosen as winners, with Alianis Soto as runner up.

Third grade winners were Natalie Villegas as a cemetery bride and Omar Cortez as a zombie. Fourth grade was next with only three participants.

Winners were Olivia Reza as Shuri from Black Panther and Jonas Mauk as a storm trooper.

Eriberto Moreno was runner up as Black Panther. Fifth grade was the final class for elementary. Class winners were Yareli Cruz as a mermaid and Brynlee Williams as a heifer with her calf.

Then all the school age children were brought back for an overall winner. The heifer and her calf and the crazy cat lady with her kitten were chosen as the overall winners.

Junior high, high school and adults were the next division. Rylan Williams and Jaxon Schwindt as senior citizens who had gone fishing and Samantha Martinez as Boo from Monsters, Inc. were the winners.

The teachers were all M &

M’s, to the delight of the children. Mrs. Mauk continued her “Minute to Win It” tradition during the lulls in the parade, asking the junior high and high school classes to compete with straws and candy corn. The crowd was entertained by all the antics of the students but especially when the teachers competed against the senior class and

were victorious!

To end the parade, Mrs. Mauk asked the newly formed pep club members to lead the classes in a cheer.

Congratulations to all the winners! Rolla has a strong tradition in the Spook Parade participants that doesn’t seem to be ending any

other cadets from Kansas.

“I was honored to join several Kansas cadets at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs for a church service and lunch,” said Sen. Moran. “One of the

most meaningful responsibilities I have as a United States Senator is nominating young Kansans for our service academies as they work to serve our nation. At the Academy, these young men and women experience a world class education, go through rigorous training, develop core values and strengthen their leadership skills. Vance represents the best of Kansas and his service to our nation makes us all proud. Thank you to the cadets for taking time out of their Sunday to visit with me.”
