Jan Leonard stopped by to give an update about what has been happening on the Phase 2 Hike and Bike Trail expansion grant application. Jan brought in letters stating KDOT has no objections to this project. It helps that this project is tied with Safe Routes to School. He is hopeful the grant will be approved. This grant will pay 80%, leaving 20% of the costs for Hugoton to pay if it is approved. The Council approved the 2018 cereal malt beverage license for Toot n’ Totum. Paul Nordyke reported he did a walk-through of the highway project last Thursday with the KDOT people and the Smoky Hill Construction crew. The project is almost completely done.

Commissioners agree to drop “mandatory” automated monthly withdrawals for Fitness Center members Stevens County commissioners convened Monday morning for their regular meeting. The Commissioners' Room filled with guests as the time approached to discuss the Fitness Center ACH withdrawal issue. Several members of the Fitness Center attended Monday's meeting to discuss with the commissioners the recent update to Fitness Center charges. As it stands, monthly membership fees are withdrawn automatically from members' bank ac-
counts. The main issue at this meeting was the language of the new policy - namely the "mandatory" portion. Dorothy Hagman addressed the commissioners first, asking about the reason for the automatic withdrawal, and how the change will decrease the Center's overhead. Commissioner Tron Stegman informed those present the ACH withdrawal was initially proposed to help streamline services. However, since the new policy was enacted, Tron has

Present at the meeting were Councilmen Dean Banker, Frankie Thomas and Jason Teeter. Also attending were City Inspector Josh Grubbs, Chief of Police Courtney Leslie, Outside Utilities Supervisor Paul Nordyke, Electric and Park Systems Supervisor Gary Rowden, City Attorney Wayne R. Tate, Assistant City Clerk Carrie Baeza, Mayor Jack E. Rowden, Jan Leonard and Hugoton Hermes reporter Ruthie Winget. City Clerk Tom G.

Gary Rowden reported they were almost finished with the Christmas tree decorating. Chief Leslie asked the council for permission to purchase body cameras for the officers. The council approved the expenditures. Jason Teeter, on behalf of the Tourism Board, asked for up to $2,200 for expenses of the Rooster Roundup during pheasant hunting season. The council approved this amount. The council then went into Executive Session. They then adjourned the meeting. The next meeting of the Hugoton City Council will be Monday, December 4 at 5:15 p.m.
spoken to other Center members and heard numerous concerns. He offered to rethink the entire situation with the other commissioners. “Long story short, we made a mistake,” Commissioner Pat Hall admitted. He told the crowd the commissioners’ motivation with this decision was to improve the Center’s bottom line. Unfortunately, the ACH withdrawal resulted in more negative consequences than anticipated. Commissioner Joe D.
Thompson said the commissioners’ main goal for the Fitness Center has been to get it "in the black" - that was why the automatic withdrawal seemed so attractive. The Center’s building is paid for, but the overhead is considerable - utilities, employees' salary plus KPERS and insurance, necessary repairs, etc. The commissioners agreed the Center shouldn't be a burden to taxpayers to subsidize a health club. Joe D. said, "If the wellSee COMMISSIONERS, page 2

Commissioners From page 1 ness center means something to you - if putting it in the black means something to you - you need to consider using our automatic debit, and it will help the bottom line out there." Vanessa said every member's transaction must be recorded, so she still has to review every one, but with the ACH, the payment is applied much sooner and more efficiently. Joe D. said he'd do everything possible to try to get the Center in the black. When asked about figures for the year so far, Dave Bozone showed commissioners the numbers he’d found. They included income since January totaling $57,600, while
expenses up to October 30 were $75,600. Pat commented that next year, the Center should be capable of running in the black. Commissioners agreed the "mandatory" part of the ACH withdrawal is no longer in effect. All three men commented more members appear to attend the Center at different times of the day, thanks to the new key fobs. They said, paying members are how the Fitness Center will stay in business. Those present expressed their appreciation for the commissioners' consideration and help in keeping the Center open.

Austin Wiebe A tragic accident has taken the life of Austin Robert Wiebe, a former Hugoton resident. Austin, 37, passed from this life Wednesday, November 1, 2017 from injuries sustained in a vehicle accident on I-70 near Warrington, Mo. Austin was born August 27, 1980 in Hugoton, to Steve Wiebe and the former Robin Bullard. It is impossible to sum up a person’s life in a few paragraphs. Austin was an avid nature and animal lover growing up and was always surprising his mom with new pets. Some of his favorite times were fishing with his dad and friends. In high school, Austin enjoyed going to the gym every day and lifting weights, which he continued to do throughout his life. Austin graduated Hugoton High School and attended SCCC/SWKTS where he studied physical therapy and then machine tool technology. Austin will be remembered for his contagious laugh and love for Jesus. Mr. Wiebe traveled throughout the U.S. working in construction. He also worked in the oil field. Most recently, he ran a construction business in Kansas. He loved meeting new people and business gave him that opportunity. Austin recently attended T.D. Jakes Business Conference in Dallas, Tx. He enjoyed reading and listening to any sermons by TD Jakes. Austin enjoyed life to the fullest and loved making people laugh. He always saw the best in everyone and would do anything to help someone. Throughout his adulthood Austin was
known to take in strangers, give them a place to stay and share his love of God with them. Austin was always researching information and learning more about something new. He loved sharing his new ideas with his family. His hobbies included growing a large garden of which he started his own plants from seeds. He raised rabbits, chickens and quail. Austin had a natural talent to imitate people, movie scenes, and songs and make everyone laugh until they cried. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. Austin is survived by his three children, Adigan, Lynzie and Kasaara; parents Steve and Robin Wiebe of Hays; his three sisters, Angela Miller and husband Chad of Liberal, Amara Barber of Hays and Arika and husband Jason Livesay of Hays; grandparents RC and Delores Bullard of Columbus; his nieces and nephews, Nichole, Kayla, Brooklyn, Brady, Kyle and Karsten; four uncles, John Bullard and wife Shanel of Columbus, Bret Bullard and wife Ronda of Parsons, Wayne Wiebe of Florida and Rick Hebert and wife Julie of Dodge City; and his girlfriend Leesa Ghumm of WaKeeney. Austin is preceded in death by grandparents, Wanda Reno and Roger Wiebe; and great grand parents, Bob and Thelma McIlrath. A Celebration of His Life Service was attended Saturday, November 4 at Cross Point in Hays. The family suggests memorials to the Steve Wiebe Family. Cline’s - Keithley Mortuary of Hays was in charge of arrangements.
Tips offered to keep confidential information private Despite a move toward a more digital and mobile workplace, a recent survey by Shred-it shows paper is here to stay, with most businesses reporting hard copies of documents will either increase or remain the same. As a result, it is critical for businesses to protect their information in all forms while ensuring they have the correct policies in place. Three common practices routinely put businesses at risk of a security breach, so it’s im-
perative to avoid these common pitfalls. An awareness of these bad habits can help businesses protect themselves and their sensitive information. 1. Recycling paper in blue bins: Although the documents are ultimately recycled and destroyed, they are exposed while in the blue bin. A fraudster can easily remove assets from the bin and use the information for their own purposes. To keep your information secure, use locked
secure consoles. These will keep the information irretrievable and keep it secure until it is ready to be destroyed. 2. Leaving things on desks: Documents left on desks are not always secure, as anyone can easily come by and see confidential information. This exposes the information and puts you at risk of a security breach. It is wise to implement a clean desk policy that requires everyone to ensure their desk is clear when they are away from it.
3. Only shredding documents that have clearly confidential information: This might be enough, but it is best to shred all documents if you want to guarantee no information is compromised in any way. Shred-it suggests you implement a Shred-it-All policy, which takes the guesswork out of what to shred and ensures your confidential information stays private. Submitted by Metro Editorial Service.

all doing great. He reported he's recovering from his stint and should be at 100% soon. In general, the hospital is doing great. Jennifer Featherston said Pioneer Manor’s census is currently at 72. She said there's a respiratory bug going around. The infection control policy is currently undergoing some updates, and she admitted they have a lot of work to do in that area. The Manor is expecting their annual survey soon, but both Jennifer and Linda expect they'll be ready. CEO Linda Stalcup announced the hospital paid their first $15,000 bed tax recently - a much-reduced amount from the $100,000-plus of quarters past. To put the new bed tax in perspective: the tax used to be $4900 per bed and is now $818 per bed - a difference of over 80 percent. The $200,000 investment in the independent living quarters should pay for itself quite soon. Linda also reported a current independent living resident wants to move into Pioneer Manor, reminding the board that very move is the purpose of the "Continuing Care Retirement Community". Linda asked the board to approve the updated policy regarding abuse at Pioneer Manor. She also mentioned she has been invited to be a member of the Blue Cross / Blue Shield advisory committee. The operating room project is ongoing, and architectural plans are now in the hands of the fire marshal. After approval there, the plan will be sent on to KDHE. Hopefully the project will be completed in 2018. Michelle reported there are 34 people on a waiting list for procedures. Dave Piper said, looking at end-of-year numbers, the hospital will come out close to even. Year-to-date, there's a deficit of $160,000 in the profit and loss. If you consider the balanced budget presented to the commissioners last year, and then consider the hospital will not get part of the county disbursements - the shortage isn't too bad. Dave also observed that while 72 percent of the year is over - 78 percent of the projected revenue has been collected, and 78 percent of the budget has been spent. Again, that amount is correct, but the shortage in county dollars skews the number. Dave also said year-to-date, stats are a little down from last year. Linda and Dr. Sam both

also presented insurance policy details, as well as information about upcoming benefit meetings. Stacey Helget with the clinic showed the Board numbers for the clinic this year. She said patient numbers are holding steady, with new patients hovering around 30 to 35 per month. Dr. Birky's new patient numbers are doing quite well, and Lisa Steers has had excellent numbers since she started working at the clinic. Lynnette Hageman presented policies and procedures for infection control - most are brand new, as the hospital has opted to completely revamp that aspect of care. An infection preventist came in to help formulate the infection control plans for the hospital - and may help with the Manor's infection control plan as well. The longterm plan is for Lynnette to become an infection preventist also - in 2019, that position will be a requirement for Pioneer Manor. Dr. Sam was up next. He mentioned the medical staff is very happy with the addition of Dr. Birky to the team. Lisa is very promising as a medical professional - she has lots of motivation and common sense. Dr. Sam said Stika Rapp has confided she is very happy here. From a staff point of view, they're

Also present were Jessica Reinerio, Stacey Helget, Lynnette Hageman, Judy Lynch, Linda Stalcup, Diane Mangels, Dave Piper, Dr. Sam, Michelle Martin and Jennifer Featherston. Linda told the board Lynnette would be handling infection control. She will be included on the agenda for future meetings. Michelle Martin was present to ask the board to approve policies and procedures for the surgery portion of the hospital.

We Cannot Eat Gold For the love of money is a root of all [a]sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 1 Timothy 6:10 NASB
T
hose espousing a simpler way of life have often reminded us that we can’t eat money. There are many stories about native Americans being perplexed by the obsession of the newly arrived Europeans with gold. More recently this meme has found favor with environmentalists, who worry that corporate interests will destroy the earth’s ability to provide healthy food. This idea is even put forward by modern-day survivalists who had previously advised people to invest in gold, fearing that traditional currency would be useless when society eventually fails. Some of them now argue that gold will be as useless as currency in the coming apocalypse, precisely because you can’t eat gold. It is better to have a reliable store of food, or the means of producing it, they say, than gold. But why are we so obsessed with money in the first place? For anyone who has ever struggled to come up with enough money to buy food, or to pay the rent, the answer is obvious: money provides us with a modicum of security. We may not be able to eat money, but money can usually buy us food. Having a surplus of money gives us the peace of mind to not worry about the unexpected expenses of life. While there is nothing wrong with saving for a rainy day, the question is whether we have the right attitude about money. Christopher Simon

Notes from Nancy by Stevens County FACS Agent Nancy Honig
Diabetes Myths November is National Diabetes Month, and as someone who provides education in this subject, I believe it is important to understand and recognize the truths and myths behind this disease. The American Diabetes Association has provided some excellent facts to debunk some myths about diabetes. Myth: If you are overweight or obese, you will eventually develop type 2 diabetes. Fact: Being overweight is a risk factor for developing this disease, but other risk factors such as family history, ethnicity and age also play a role. Unfortunately, too many people disregard the other risk factors for diabetes and think that weight is the only risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Most overweight people never develop type 2 diabetes, and many people with type 2 diabetes are at a normal weight or only moderately overweight. Myth: Eating too much sugar causes diabetes. Fact: The answer is not so simple. Type 1 diabetes is caused by genetics and unknown factors that trigger the onset of the disease; type 2 diabetes is caused by genetics and lifestyle factors. Being overweight does increase your risk for developing type 2 diabetes, and a diet high in calories from any source contributes to weight gain. Research has shown that drinking sugary drinks is linked to developing type 2 diabetes. The American Diabetes Association recommends that people should avoid intake of sugar-sweetened beverages to help prevent diabetes. Sugar-sweetened
beverages include soda, fruit punch, fruit drinks, energy drinks, sweet tea and other sweet drinks. These will raise blood glucose levels, and can provide several hundred calories in just one serving! Myth: Diabetes is not that serious of a disease. Fact: Diabetes causes more deaths each year than breast cancer and AIDS combined. Having diabetes nearly doubles your chance of having a heart attack. The good news is that good diabetes control can reduce your risks for diabetes complications. Myth: People with diabetes should eat special diabetic foods. Fact: A healthy meal plan for people with diabetes is generally the same as a healthy eating plan for anyone - low in saturated and trans fat, moderate in salt and sugar, with meals based on lean protein, non-starchy vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats and fruit. "Diabetic" foods generally offer no special benefit. Most of them still raise blood glucose levels, are usually more expensive and can also have a laxative effect if they contain sugar alcohols. Myth: If you have diabetes, you should only eat small amounts of starchy foods, such as bread, potatoes and pasta. Fact: Starchy foods can be part of a healthy meal plan, but portion size is key. Whole grain breads, cereals, pasta, rice and starchy vegetables including potatoes, yams, peas and corn can be included in your meals and snacks. In addition to these
starchy foods, fruits, beans, milk, yogurt, and sweets are also sources of carbohydrates that count in your meal plan. Myth: People with diabetes can't eat sweets or chocolate. Fact: If eaten as part of a healthy meal plan, or combined with exercise, sweets and desserts can be eaten by people with diabetes. They are no more "off limits" to people with diabetes than they are to people without diabetes. The key to sweets is to have a very small portion and save them for special occasions, so you focus your meal on more healthful foods. Myth: If you have type 2 diabetes and your doctor says you need to start using insulin, it means you're failing to take care of your diabetes properly. Fact: For most people, type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease. When first diagnosed, many people with type 2 diabetes can keep their blood glucose at a healthy level with oral medications. But over time, the body gradually produces less and less of its own insulin, and eventually oral medications may not be enough to keep blood glucose levels normal. Using insulin to get blood glucose levels to a healthy level is a good thing, not a bad one. If you have been diagnosed with diabetes and are struggling to understand how to eat, there will be another "Dining with Diabetes" four week program starting after the beginning of next year. If you are interested in attending, call the Stevens County Extension Office at 544-4359 for more information, and to register.

Big game permits will be awarded to conservation organizations
Seven big game permits will be awarded to Kansas conservation organizations at the January 11, 2018 Kansas Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) Commission meeting. This unique program allows conservation organizations to apply for and sell big game permits to raise funding for conservation. Local chapters of nonprofit organizations based or operating in Kansas that actively promote wildlife conservation and the hunting and fishing heritage are eligible to apply. Applications, which can be downloaded from www.ksoutdoors.com, must be submitted by January 1, 2018. One elk, one antelope or up to seven deer permits are issued each year, depending on applicant preference. Winning groups are issued a voucher, which they can sell or auction to the highest bidder. The cost of the permit, and 15 percent of the total price, is subtracted and kept by the group, and the rest is remitted to KDWPT with a proposal for a conservation
project. Once the project is approved, the money is returned to the group to complete the project. An exception to this procedure would occur if Kansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry (KHFH) is drawn. In that case, KHFH keeps 85 percent of the funds to help pay for processing donated deer. Groups are eligible to win permits just once in a threeyear period. Hunters who purchase the permits remit a voucher to KDWPT and are issued permits and carcass tags. They do not count against any other big game permits the holder is eligible for.

during periods of extreme cold. 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. In addition, the rule requires utility companies to offer a 12-month payment plan to allow consumers to maintain or re-establish utility service. 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 require that customers agree to pay 1/12th of the
7
total amount owed, 1/12th of the current bill, the full amount of any disconnection or reconnection fee, plus any applicable deposit to the utility. The remaining balance must be paid in equal payments over the next 11 months, in addition to the current monthly bill. The Cold Weather Rule applies only to residential customers of electric and natural gas utility companies under the KCC's jurisdiction.

Pheasant season opens November 11 It’s a Kansas tradition to open the pheasant and quail seasons on the second Saturday in November. If you’re a bird hunter, you’re already losing sleep thinking about opening day. The Kansas pheasant and quail seasons are November 11, 2017-January 31, 2018. It’s a big deal, both to hunters and to the state’s economy. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, hunting pumps more than $400 million into the Kansas economy each year, and while hunters find a myriad of game species to pursue in Kansas, pheasant and quail are high on the list. Year in, year out, Kansas will rank among the top three states in the nation for harvest of pheasant and bobwhite quail. Based on the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Small Game Harvest Survey data, more than 80,000 hunters will hunt pheasants in Kansas this year, and while there is some overlap, more than 62,000 will hunt quail. Approximately 40,000 of those hunters will be nonresidents. If you don’t believe it, try to reserve a motel room in any small town in western Kansas November 11. Conservatively, nonresident bird hunters will spend more than $150 per day on lodging, fuel, food and supplies while hunting in Kansas, adding much - needed dollars into the small communities that dot prime Kansas hunting regions. Pre-season reports predict good hunting in many areas of the state for both pheasants and quail. Precip-
itation patterns in much of Kansas in recent years created ideal nesting and brood-rearing conditions, and hunters will find heavy cover this fall. The 2017 Upland Bird Hunting Forecast is available online at www.ksoutdoors.com, and provides details about expected bird numbers by region. The 2017 Kansas Hunting and Furharvesting Regulations Summary is also a must-have for hunters because it includes all season dates, bag and possession limits, as well as license requirements and fees. And hunters should also consult the 2017 Kansas Hunting Atlas, which has maps showing all state, federal and Walk-in Hunting Access (WIHA) public hunting areas. More than 1 million acres of private land are enrolled in the WIHA program. The regulations summary and atlas can be downloaded or picked up wherever licenses are sold. In addition to long seasons, Kansas also offers generous bag and possession limits for pheasants and quail – four rooster pheasants per day and 16 in possession and eight quail per day and 32 in possession. Much of central and southwest Kansas provides excellent pheasant and quail hunting combination opportunities. November is a great month to be in Kansas if you’re a hunter because in addition to pheasant and quail, other seasons open include greater prairie chicken, ducks, geese, sandhill cranes, deer and wild turkey. The only downside is that November is only 30 days long.

Black Hills Energy conducts Citizens Advisory Council Black Hills Energy hosted their semi-annual Citizens Advisory Council meeting Thursday, November 2, 2017 at the Stevens County Fire Station. Subway sandwiches along with cookies were served to all the participants. Jerry Watkins, General Manager of Kansas Black Hills Energy kicked off the meeting by stating the Liberal Black Hills Energy, which consists of the entire southwest corner of Kansas, has gone for 1,034 days without accident. That is nearly three years of working safely. Black Hills has installed 2,131 feet of new main lines this past year. They have 12,365 gas meters they operate in the Liberal area. They also operate out of Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming. They reported the gas supply is still abundant. That means this winter’s gas bill should be about the same as last year.
Jerry Watkins, General Manager of Kansas Black Hills Energy, informs the CAC participants of Black Hills Energy worked with Synata Bio by estimating costs of supplying gas for the new ethanol plant. They have also been assisting Kansas Dairy Ingredients with their expansion project.

Ross Bressler was one of the old cusses from Rolla whom I got to know a little better than most of the other old cusses because after my grandparents left the farm and moved into Rolla, they moved next door to “Ross” and Eunice Bressler, directly across the street to the north of the old original Methodist Church. Now, old Ross Bressler was a crusty old bird with a gravelly, raspy voice who wasn’t only an old cuss, he was an old cusser. Man, that guy could cuss! And he didn’t care if the Methodist Church was just across the street, or if it was Sunday, or if women, children, or Christians were around. That man could scare horses and stampede cattle with his cussin’! And because he lived next door to my grandparents, he was a frequent visiting cusser in my grandparents’ home. My Grandpa Stout on the other hand would never say anything stronger than, “Well, I swan.” As a kid, I couldn’t figure out what “I swan” meant so I asked my mom about it. She
explained, “Your grandpa don’t believe in swearin’, even to the point that he won’t say, ‘Well, I swear,’ so instead, he says, ‘Well, I swan.’” Ross Bressler’s crusty old toughness persisted down through the generations in his genetic line, at least all the way through the late 1950s. Ross’s son Clyde married Ruby Bressler Farlow (of Sylvia), and together they had three sons, Dallas, Junior and Jerry, all three of whom played football in high school, and man were they good at football!

who’d been the football coach for Rolla back when Ross Bressler’s great-grandson Kent Bressler was still in grade school. Of Neill Hays Kent said, “Back when my class was still in grade school, Neill Hays predicted we would be State football champs when we got to high school. And in 1973 we were! How could Coach Hays possibly have known that? That just goes to show you what a great coach he was.” Yes, Kent, Neill Hays was a great coach, but you had some crusty old genes “cussing” through your veins as well. Just a couple of questions on my mind are, “Does the current generation of Bresslers cuss like old Ross Bressler did?” and “Does Rolla have any more football players by the name of Bressler?” Well, if you’re still maintaining the Bressler tradition, then I’ll likewise maintain the Stout tradition by signing off with, “Well, I swan.”

Bressler kids were in high school, and Dad’d occasionally let our family in on some little tidbits of information about things happening with the Rolla schools. The year after the youngest Bressler boy graduated (Jerry in 1958), our school was trying to set up some football games with various schools not in our league, and one of the schools Rolla High School contacted was down in Oklahoma somewhere, either Hooker, Balko or Yarbrough. In any case, the first question the Oklahoma school coach asked was, "You got any more football players by the name of Bressler?" "Nope, they've all graduated." "Well, in that case, we'll play you." Now, you might think the story ended there, but the Bressler genetic line continued in Rolla for at least another generation. About 30 years later, one of the greatgrandsons of old Ross Bressler spoke up at one of the Rolla Alumni Banquets, praising Neill Hays, someone

Hugoton Gas Prices As of Tuesday, November 7 Brown Dupree - $2.49 Eagles Landing - $2.49 Kangaroo Express -$2.47 Thrifty King - $2.49 Toot N Totum - $2.49 Average retail gasoline prices in Kansas have risen 4.4 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.38 per gallon Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 1,329 gas outlets in Kansas. This compares with the national average that has increased 6.5 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.53 per gallon, according to gasoline price Web site Gas Buddy.com. Including the change in gas prices in Kansas during the past week, prices Sunday were 40.7 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 7.3 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 3.8 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 32.0 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago. According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices November 6 in Kansas have ranged widely over the last five years: $1.97 per gallon in 2016, $2.14 per gallon in 2015, $2.91 per gallon in 2014, $2.97 per gallon in
2013 and $3.26 per gallon in 2012. "It's been a frenzied week at fuel pumps across the country, but without a hurricane driving up prices, many motorists have been dumbfounded about what's taking place with the unseasonable upward trend," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "Such a strong weekly upward move is rare in the fall, but is explained by a confluence of factors, including oil prices hitting a new 2017 high, a major pipeline leak resulting in disruption, autumn refinery maintenance, but perhaps among the more surprising - robust demand for gasoline so late in the season. Such demand has magnified relatively mundane factors into a major gas price event for much of the United States and Canada. But some slowdown is expected in the Great Lakes, the region hardest hit with price spikes in the last week, as repairs Explorer Pipeline have been completed, but some additional bumps in the road ahead can be expected for motorists elsewhere."

School Invitational wrestling tournament last weekend.
Luis Guzman competes in the 80-pound varsity bracket at the wrestling tournament in Hugoton over the weekend.
Wrestlers compete in home tournament Over the weekend Hugoton hosted their annual middle school invitational wrestling tournament. The tournament hosted 12 teams and over 300 wrestlers in both varsity and JV divisions. Hugoton Eagles had nine varsity wrestlers and four on junior varsity. Out of the 13 wrestlers, Hugoton saw only five place, and three medal. In the 80-pound varsity bracket, the Eagles had Luis Cruz and Luis Guzman participate. In the 92 pound bracket, Deveron Yarborough took fourth going two and two on the day with wins over Abdi Abdi from Horace Good and Ab Amador from Liberal South. Zack Zambrano went one and two for the day with a win over Mana Chanthasone from Liberal West. In the 98-pound Varsity

He pinned Cooper Weir from Comanche in 16 seconds in the first and then pinned Junior Falcon in his second match at the 2:24 mark. His loss in the championship match went to Damien Mendez from Dodge City Middle School, who was a 12U Folkstyle State Champ a year ago. In the 98-pound JV bracket, both of Hugoton’s wrestlers placed; with Isaac Marioni taking first and Angel Ribera taking third. Isaac Marioni picked up wins over Cindy Flores from Liberal South, Jarek Crow from Goodland, and a major decision over Jesus Abeyta from Horace Good.

He went four and two on the day with wins over Elias Anguiano of Ulysses, Efren Tarango of Scott City, Benjamin Dunlap of Kenneth Henderson, and Oscar Mejia of Kenneth Henderson. He lost in the quarterfinals to Ismael Ramirez from Comanche and in the consolation finals to Joel Conteras from Goodland on a 6 to 0 decision.

Coach Graber details JV volleyball season The Lady Eagles finished their season with a record of 16-15. Coach Graber had this to say about how the Ladies played overall this year. "This year was another building block year for our JV. We took some great steps and made great improvements from the previous year. Our movement on de-
fense made great strides forward. Our ability to get touches on balls and keeping the ball alive on shanked passes, tipped off the block, and free balls were cleaned up. “Our hitting this year was where we found our success. Being able to recognize open spots and figuring out when
to tip and when to swing made our offense speed up when we played that way. We had a lot of girls step up throughout the year as leaders. “The ability our leaders had to help pull those who were struggling on the court was impressive to see. I hope the girls had a fun year!”

City, Lyn Wright is also a volunteer firefighter for the Cimarron Volunteer Fire Department. Wright was the first responder on scene, and he recalls hearing the dog barking. He knew it was important to get inside the home immediately to get the family to safety. “When it comes to children and carbon monoxide, they’re more susceptible to CO because they’re smaller, so it saturates the blood quicker,” Wright said. “Cimarron is a small town. . .. These are our friends, these are our neighbors. It’s a sigh of relief to be able to see the Slaven family on the streets every day.” For Black Hills Energy employees, providing safe, reliable energy is their biggest priority. Simple steps in an annual maintenance routine - like adding or checking batteries in carbon monoxide detectors and having the vent swept - are proactive measures you can take that could save lives. “Natural gas is a clean, safe fuel that keeps more than 70 million homes and businesses warm,” said Jerry Watkins, general manager of Kansas operations for Black Hills Energy. “But it’s vital to make sure that systems that keep you warm and safe in your home are inspected by professionals.” As the weather keeps getting colder, here are some tips to keep you and your family safe: • Hire a certified professional to perform an annual
heating system inspection. • Install and maintain carbon monoxide detectors and have them inspected regularly. That includes making sure their batteries are fresh. • Watch for signs of a carbon monoxide leak that can include: - Flu-like symptoms, including a scratchy throat, runny nose, headache, drowsiness or nausea - Frosted windows because of excessive humidity or a draft from the front of the furnace when it is not turned on. If you think you have a carbon monoxide leak, get out of your home immediately. Once you’re safe, call 911 or Black Hills Energy’s emergency service line at 800-694-8989 - from your cell phone or nearby location. Black Hills Energy is a natural gas and electric utility serving 1.2 million customers in eight states: Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming.

KHP issues tips for motorists to avoid accidents with deer With deer on the move this time of year, and the busy holiday travel months 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 animal. • If your vehicle is disabled in a traffic crash, or if it breaks down while travelling, get it as far off the road as possible if you can move it. 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 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 it is still in the roadway, let dispatch know when you call. • If possible, remain in your vehicle, and remain buckled up. If a crash would occur involving your vehicle or another nearby, you are more protected than if you are out in the roadway or even 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 lights are activated; don’t stand between your vehicle and another vehicle; and make sure your children are kept properly restrained in your vehicle. • If you have exited your vehicle, it is important to remain very vigilant and watch traffic to make sure they aren’t getting close to you. If your vehicle becomes disabled at night, you should wait for law enforcement to arrive. Emergency lighting from patrol vehicles helps to make your vehicle more visible to other motorists.

LOOKING BACK Memories from yesteryear
The Hugoton Hermes | Thursday, November 9, 2017 |3B
A little bit of history By Hazel Miller McCue Continued from last week. My dad plowed tree claims for others, ten acres for five dollars in Stevens, Morton, Grant, Stanton and Finney counties. They had been surveyed, but the markers were hard to find. He had often found claims by tying a cloth on the wagon wheel and counting the revolutions, as he knew how many it took for a mile. Plowing was necessary to hold the claim. He also played the violin at dances, sometimes all night for two dollars. Money was hard to get in those days. In those days, there was always running water in the
Cimarron, and ponds along the side, fed by the river, were full of catfish. He loved to fish, and sometimes when we were low on meat, he would take John, Fred and Victor, after he was old enough, load some tubs and his seine in the wagon and head for the river, which was nine miles away. It was okay to seine then, and he would drag the seine with the boys’ help. They would usually stay all night and came home the next day. They always brought home tubs of fish, and we kept what we could and gave the rest to the neighbors. The best river crossing was the Towler crossing near their home. It connected
Hugoton, Woodsdale and Moscow with Ulysses and on north. The Joyces lived west and a little south of Towlers near the “Wagon Bed Springs” on the river. One story told about how the springs got its name: A man with a team of oxen and a wagon were crossing the river; the oxen and wagon went down in quicksand, but the bed stayed on top, a spring from under the sand fed up through the bed of the wagon. I wondered how they could get clean water with two dead oxen under the bed of the wagon and what became of the man! I was baptized in the Cimarron! The Baptist
Church people from South Harmony schoolhouse took their baptismal programs to a pond fed by the Cimarron. It was about one-half mile north and a little east of Jim Parson’s house. Clara (Mrs. Fred Miller), Clyde Miller and I and several others were baptized that day. The minister’s name was Reverend Temple. There were no freezers in those days but in the fall, after it was cold enough to keep the meat, the men would set a butchering day for the hogs. They would dig a trench large enough to make a big fire under the vat. They would fill the vat with water, and when it was hot enough, they would scald
the hogs in it. This would make the bristles scrape off easier. They used a large granary door to scrape them, then they hung the hog up by the hind feet to open and clean it. The men could butcher several in one day. When butchering a cow, there would be four men in a group. One man would furnish a cow, and each of them would take a quarter. When that was gone, another man killed a cow, and each man took a different quarter.
After four times each of the men had furnished a cow. They had to wait until the weather was cold for this, too. My folks always wrapped their meat in a white sheet and then a large oilcloth and hung it in the windmill tower, and “freezer.” To be continued next week.

Spooky costumes are creative
Kaden Hull and River Pearson are the overall champions in the 0-4 Not In School range.
There were no bats, cats, or ghosts in this year’s annual spook parade Tuesday, October 31. The costumes were extremely creative and very difficult for the volunteer judges to find the true winner. Winnie Hagenah, Dana Kallenbach, Deserae Schwindt and Paige Claassen had to use all their observation skills to choose the best in each category. The overall winners in the 0-4 year old not in school were River Pearson as Willie Nelson and Kaden Hull as a
bull rider. For school age elementary children, the overall winners were Brooklyn Pearson as a mouse in a mouse trap and Tyne Claassen-Ellis as Cousin It. Some of the highlights of the parade included the feather blowing contest for the junior high, high school and teachers. The winners of each level will be treated to a party. The parade might have been smaller this year but the creative level of Rolla’s parents is still top notch!
Even the staff got into the Halloween spirit, dressing as a box of 64 crayons, but with a few short. One crayon (far right, Kelly Schnable) was so loved, her paper was missing! Back left to right are Mean Pirate Green (Sam Eiland), Pond Scum Greene (Zeta Greene), Nutmeg (Megan Gibler), Indigo Blue (Suzanne Murray) and Basic Black (Sherry Pinkley). Middle row are Verde-go Green (Traci Taylor), Slaughterhouse Red (Jessie Slaughter) and Kelly Green (Kelly Schnable). Kneeling is Christmas Red (Kim Mauk). Tyne Claassen-Ellis and Brooklyn Pearson are the overall champions in the PreK thru Fifth grades.

Booster Club honors mascots The Rolla Booster Club fall sports banquet was Monday, October 30. Among the athletes who were honored were also a couple of special young men. Jaxon Schwindt, seventh grader and his cousin, Rylan Williams, sixth grader, were approached by the Booster Club to consider being the mascots for the home football games. They agreed and have done a fabulous job during football
season. These two both enthusiastically led the home town crowd in chants and cheers to encourage the football players. The Booster Club was very excited with their sportsmanship and spirited displays during the games. Great job, Jaxon and Rylan! Jaxon is the son of Shawn and Josh Schwindt. Rylan is the son of Jamie Mason and Nik McAnarney.
