Chamber discusses upcoming banquet
Ron Brewer met with an unexpected visitor last week - especially considering the cooler temperatures - a rattlesnake! The snake bit Ron, and as he was attempting to drive himself to the hospital in Hugoton, he became disoriented and
ended up in this Harrison Street backyard, destroying a gazebo, wooden fence and, tragically, a family pet. Mr. Brewer was flown out by helicopter and at last report was doing well.
Pictured is Stevens County resident Ron Brewer’s vehicle following the accident last week. Besides the gazebo and fence, the pickup
also struck an electric pole guy strand, causing a temporary power outage on the west side of Hugoton.

Giving Thanks for Blessings as Kansans, Americans As Americans celebrate Thanksgiving this week, families and friends come together to reflect, give thanks and enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving feast. However, millions – in fact, one in six Americans – struggle each day to even get enough food to eat. The unfortunate real-
ity is that food insecurity exists in every community in our nation. Living in the breadbasket of America, it can sometimes be difficult to comprehend the prevalence of hunger at home and around the world. Yet, hunger is real – it threatens the future of millions

every day. Hunger creates political instability, stunts economic growth, and robs individuals of their dignity and self-potential. When I travel throughout our state, I recognize the impact of hunger in our communities. I also appreciate how Kansans react to this problem with compassion and a genuine desire to help our friends and neighbors prosper. I recently visited the Flint Hills Breadbasket to learn more about their mission of minimizing hunger and poverty in the Manhattan area. For 32 years, they have been collecting and distributing food with the help of many volunteers and churches. Last year, volunteers created and distributed more than 200 Thanksgiving baskets to food-insecure families. I was also encouraged to learn that many of the individuals receiving food are actively trying to find employment and working to improve their lives. To help food banks and the Americans they serve, last year I introduced bipartisan legislation that encourages businesses and farms to donate surplus food to local food banks. The Good Samaritan Hunger Relief Tax Incentive Act permanently extends a tax credit for donating food and expands the credit to all businesses including small businesses, farmers, ranchers and restaurant owners. Permanently extending the hunger relief tax incentive

will increase food bank contributions and help ensure that less food goes to waste. I hope commonsense legislation like this is soon considered with a new Senate Majority in the 114th Congress. Many Kansans – including former Senator Bob Dole and former Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman – have worked to end hunger at home and abroad. I appreciate their efforts and the individuals who continue to raise awareness about hunger and food insecurity – oftentimes an invisible tragedy. In my effort to represent this spirit of Kansans, I served as co-chair of the House Hunger Caucus for four years in the U.S. House of Representatives and currently co-chair the Senate Hunger Caucus. Established in 2004, the Senate Hunger Caucus exists to promote anti-hunger causes, provide a forum for briefings about hunger issues, and facilitate communication between those working to combat hunger and lawmakers who support programs and policies assisting those in need. As part of my role on the Senate Hunger Caucus, I have met with individuals and organizations that are working tirelessly to fight hunger around the globe like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. They believe that helping farm families increase agricultural development and production is the most effective way to reduce hunger and poverty over the long term. I am of the belief that we change the world one soul, one person at a time. This Thanksgiving, I hope you will consider supporting or volunteering at an organization like the Flint Hills Breadbasket in your community. Just a few hours of your time giving back can help make this hol-

Sharing the Caring: Partnering With Your Adult Child to Care At Russell Child Development Center we believe that grandparent involvement supports healthy child development. Grandparents enjoy a special relationship with their grandchildren and play as much a vital role in building a strong foundations for healthy growth and development. The Zero to Three National Center for Infants, Toddlers and Families offers the following information for grandparents on supporting healthy child development as written by Rebecca Parlakian, M.Ed. and Claire Lerner, LICSW. Becoming a mom or dad is a new experience - and a lifechanging one. First-time parents have a need to feel close to their babies and confident about caring for them. Over time, parents come to know their child’s unique cues, likes, and dislikes. With experience, they grow more confident in their ability to understand and care for their baby’s needs. Developing a positive, respectful relationship with your adult children is one of the first - and best - ways to build a strong relationship with your grandchildren. How to do this? Here are some questions you might ask to let your child and his/her partner know that you respect and are interested in their approach to parenting. • If your grandchild has a particular schedule for eating and sleeping yet. • What and when to feed your grandchild. • How to put your grandchild down to sleep for example, with a pacifier or without? With a blanket or sleep sack? • How your grandchild shows that he is tired or hungry (if he is not yet talking). • What activities, games or toys your grandchild prefers. • How the parents set limits what they see as unacceptable behavior and how they want you to respond. Do you know how to soothe a crying baby? How to feed a baby, burp her, and play with her? Yes. But when you recognize your child’s important role as a parent, it often leads to more time and a better relationship with your grandchild. Sharing the Care of Your Grandchild Caring for a grandchild, whether it’s every day or once a month, builds a strong and important bond between the two of you. But at times, sharing the care of your grandchild can raise some challenges among the adults. Even when your relationship with your child is warm and positive, caring for your grandchild may sometimes stir up strong feelings. It isn’t uncommon for parents, at one point or another, to worry their child might prefer to be with the grandparent, rather than with them. Parents may also worry, at times, that grandparents might be better at parenting than they are. And, of course, conflicts may arise over childrearing approaches. Building Open Communication When a challenging situation arises, it benefits all of you to work it out in a positive way.
Open, respectful communication between the adults helps your grandchild thrive. Take a look: Adele watches her two year old granddaughter Elisha each day, which she really enjoys. But her daughter, Patricia, is often late to pick Elisha up and never calls. Adele is really frustrated and angry. She feels it’s very disrespectful to her and upsetting to Elisha, who knows when it gets dark, Mom should be there to get her. When Patricia does eventually show up, Adele is cold to her and her voice is tight and quiet. The two adults barely communicate. Elisha glances from one to the other and looks very tense. Working it Out Now let’s look at how Adele and Patricia work this out using the following three-step process: Step 1: Tune in to your own feelings. Adele recognizes she is angry, frustrated, and feels taken advantage of. She also sees that her reaction - giving Patricia the cold shoulder - is adding to Elisha’s discomfort and is not solving the problem. Step 2: Share your perspective in a nonjudgmental way and ask about your child’s perspective. Adele talks with Patricia: ”You are doing a great job of working and taking care of Elisha all on your own. And I’m happy to support you in any way I can. While I understand that things come up sometimes, I don’t like that you are arriving later and later to get Elisha and don’t check with me to see if I’m available. For example, last week, I had to cancel dinner with a friend because you weren’t here to get Elisha on time. I also need to know when you are running behind so that I can help Elisha understand when you will be here. I really want to make a plan that works for both of us. I’d like to hear your perspective and figure out what we can do to work this out together.” Step 3: Problem-solve together. Given her mother’s very calm and respectful approach, Patricia does not feel attacked or criticized. She is more open to hearing her mother’s perspective. Together they make a plan that Patricia will call Adele in advance if she is going to be late. They also agree that if Adele doesn’t have the flexibility to keep Elisha late, she will let Patricia know a few days in advance, if possible. Relationships Grow and Change With Time A relationship is a living thing that grows and changes over time. This is true of your relationship with your grandchild and your relationship with your own adult child. Communication is the key to making any partnership work. Keeping the adult relationships warm and respectful helps you develop an even closer bond with your grandchild.

Give thanks for lower gas prices this Thanksgiving With the U.S. average price of gasoline at $2.80 Monday, November 24, the national average is at its lowest level since December 2010. Especially this week, Americans should be grateful that 80% of the nation’s gas stations are reporting prices under $3 per gallon today, compared to just 22 percent at this time in 2013. “While many of us are convinced that gas prices automatically go up in advance of every travel holiday, our price tracking has proven that to be a widely-held misconception,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy. “In some years we’ve seen occasions, particularly during the Thanksgiving and Christmas travel periods, when prices remained flat or even posted a decline.” In 2011 for example, the national average went from $3.32 on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving to $3.28 on the Monday immediately following. “Given the inventory reported by the Department of Energy and the supply build following last week’s snow storms, we anticipate that retail gas prices in most parts of the country will show another decline this week, even though millions of us will be driving for Thanksgiving,” said DeHaan. “It may seem counter-intuitive, but, it’s been a very unusual year. •New York has the highest average ($3.18 per gallon) in the lower 48 states, followed by Connecticut at $3.11.
•South Carolina has the lowest state average in the country at just $2.55 Monday. •There are 41 states with averages under $3/ gal. Monday •40 states have at least 50 percent of their stations reporting prices under $3, compared to only nine states at this time last year. “With so many of us driving for Thanksgiving, it’s imperative to put safety first,” added Gregg Laskoski, another senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy. “If it’s late or folks are fatigued they’ll be much better off staying overnight rather than trying to drive while struggling to keep their eyes open.” Motorists should keep in mind that gas prices can vary dramatic from city to city, and especially when crossing state lines implemented taxes. The GasBuddy app shows real-time pump prices wherever you are, so you can save on every fuel purchase. The app is free and built for iPhone, Android, Windows, and Blackberry phones. About GasBuddy.com GasBuddy is the premiere source for real-time local gas prices. Founded in 2000, GasBuddy.com developed as an initiative to provide consumers access to local, current gas prices. Through the GasBuddy.com Web site and the free GasBuddy mobile app, users can find and share gas prices with fellow drivers, saving big money at the pump.

All contributions are tax deductible. “I would claim that Christian schooling is not about running or hiding from--rather it is about embracing and pursuing the mind of Christ. It is about pursuing the real understanding of what it means to be salt and light, about transformation by the renewing of the mind. It is about the development of fruitful bearers of the image of Christ in a world gone bland with its salt-less-ness; a world staggering in an abundance of darkness where the light has been all but snuffed out.” Ken Smitherman, President, Association of Christian School International Christian Leadership Our goal is to create success-bound Christian leaders who follow God and influence society with a Christian worldview, character and integrity. Students will be culturally relevant without compromising Biblical truth and expand God’s kingdom by being bold, fearless leaders and witnesses of Christ. Our students will learn to share and defend their faith with others. Superior Academics Our school will provide academic excellence, training in critical thinking, and good study habits. Our students will be fully prepared for their next educational level. A Scriptural Worldview Our students will be taught God is our sole provider and He created our universe. They will view God as the source of all academic subjects. A Personal & Sustained Relationship with Jesus Christ Our students will be taught the necessity of being born again in the Spirit of God by receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Students will be taught that growth in the Christian life depends upon fellowship with God through Bible study, Christian fellowship and prayer. We will lead our students to become Disciples of Christ and seek His purpose and truth for their lives. Every student will be encouraged to embrace the Bible as the source of absolute truth and to maintain a biblical worldview rather than a humanistic worldview.

Eighth grade Lady Eagles have a busy week
Hunters must get permission to hunt private land whether it’s posted or not.
Landowner permission is required to hunt any private land Kansas is 97 percent privately owned, so most hunting occurs on private land. While there are more than 1.5 million acres of public hunting lands, including Walk-In Hunting Access, that represents only 2.5 percent of the land in Kansas. Landowners still provide access for most of our hunting opportunities. Kansas law requires all hunters to have landowner permission before hunting on private land whether the land is posted with “No Hunting” signs or not. If the land is posted with “Hunting With Written Permission Only” signs or marked with purple paint, hunters must have written permission from the landowner. To avoid serious penalties and potentially harming landowner-hunter relations, giving all hunters a bad name, hunters should keep the following in mind: •Get landowner permission before accessing any private land for any reason. A convenient landowner permission card is available for download at
ksoutdoors.com/Services/LawEnforcement. Hunters may use the card to document permission to hunt on private land. •Hunting from roads or railways without permission is a form of trespassing called criminal hunting; since the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) is one of 44 states in the Wildlife Violator Compact, conviction of trespass or criminal hunting may prevent the convicted person from enjoying hunting privileges in other states, as well. •Conviction of simple criminal hunting can result in a maximum fine of $500, plus court costs, and one month in jail on the first conviction. Additionally, the court can suspend or revoke license privileges for up to a year. A second conviction requires at least a one-year suspension of privileges in addition to any fines or jail time. If you witness trespassing or illegal hunting, please call the Operation Game Thief toll-free hotline at 1-877-426-3843.

The Hugoton Middle School eighth grade girls had a busy week of basketball. Both A and B teams competed hard last week. The Bteam came out of the week with four wins. The team had a great week of basketball. The most exciting win was the overtime win against Dodge City Comanche Thursday. The girls fought hard to stay in the game when things were not going so well and than pulled it out in the end. The A-team went 2-2. The girls really struggled in three of their games but managed to pull out one win. “We had a chance against Holcomb to pull out a win but just could not convert. It would have been nice to pick up that win as well. We are focused in trying to do a better job on defense and convert our free throws at a higher percentage. If we can do those things we keep ourselves in games,” said Coach Nick Rodriguez. Monday, November 17, the Lady Eagles’ B-team battled Dodge City Middle School. After four quarters of action Hugoton was on top 14 to 11. The Lady Eagles started out slow in the first half trailing Dodge City 5 to 7. In the second half, Hugoton kicked it up a notch and pulled

The A-team Lady Eagles defeated Dodge City Middle School 43-26. The team started out in the lead with a score of 19-11 at the end of the half. Coming out in the second half, the Hugoton team continued the pace to take the win. Top scorer for Hugoton was Sesthleng Garcia with ten points followed closely by Casle Heger with nine and Rebecca Johnson with seven. Adding to the score for the win were Jayla Stump with five points and Etni Guzman, Ashlyn Schechter and Sahayla Haar with four points apiece. Thursday, November 20, the Lady Eagles’ B-team tackled the Dodge City Comanche. Hugoton took the win in overtime 25-20. The team started out in the first quarter in the lead 10-2, but by the half the lead had slimmed down to two points. At the end of the third quarter, DCCC had the lead at 12-15. The big excitement was in the fourth quarter when the Hugoton girls tied
the game at 18 all. In overtime, the girls took the win by five points. Lady Eagles scoring points for the team were Abby Heger with one, Luz Romo six, Josselyne Jurado two, Kenzie Hagman four, Meaghan McClure nine and Evelyn Camacho three. The A-team Lady Eagles took on the Dodge City Comanche Thursday for a loss of 23-43. By the end of the first half, Hugoton was down 11-25, and the Comanche team continued to work the court for the win after the second half. Scoring for the Lady Eagles were Jayla Stump with four points, Sesthleng Garcia with five, Rebecca Johnson eight points, Ashlyn Schechter with five and Sahayla Haar with one point.

Kansas firearm deer season is almost upon us As November comes to a close, it can only mean one thing - it’s time to break out your blaze orange clothing and sight-in your rifle, because the Kansas firearm deer season is almost upon us. From December 3-14, hunters may pursue deer with any legal equipment, including any centerfire rifle and handgun; any gauge shotgun using slugs; and a muzzleloading rifle, musket, or pistol .40 caliber or larger and archery equipment. All permits are valid during the firearm season; however, unit, species, antlerless and equipment restrictions listed on the permit are in effect. In addition to their deer permit, all hunters, unless exempt by law, must also have a Kansas hunting license. Hunters with archery permits must use archery equipment and hunters with muzzleloader permits must use muzzleload-
ers or archery equipment. During the firearm season, all hunters must wear hunter orange clothing consisting of an orange hat and an orange vest showing 100 square inches from the front and 100 square inches from the back. Camouflage orange clothing is legal if the number of square inches of orange is visible. If you are a resident hunter and have yet to purchase a permit, you may do so wherever licenses are sold as well as online. Hunters must possess a permit that allows the harvest of a buck before they are eligible to purchase antlerless permits. Permits are now valid the same day of purchase. Hunters should remember all deer must be tagged before moving the carcass from the kill site. Certain permits, such as an antlerless whitetail permit, require the head remain attached to the carcass during

Electronic registration is not required unless you want to bone out the carcass in the field and transport it without evidence of antlerless status attached.

The Hutchinson Blue Dragons traveled to Casper, Wy. last weekend to play in the NJCAA Division I National Volleyball Tournament. The ladies faced Western Nebraska’s Lady Cougars in the consolation match. After five games ending 25-22, 23-25, 19-25, 25-19 and 15-9, the Blue Dragons were eliminated from the National tournament. Hutch sophomore and Hugoton alum Nicole Kinser ended her second year with 24 kills for the game. Nicole was the Jayhawk West Most Valuable Player and was the third HCC player ever to have 500 kills in a season, ending with 508 total. Nicole started off the day’s first game with eight kills, helping HCC win their first National game since 2012. Nicole’s eighth kill secured the 25-22 win for the Blue Dragons. In the second game, Nicole continued to dominate the net, but the Nebraska team rallied to tie the game at 16-16. While Nicole served, Hutch was cited with a rotation violation, and the second game became an uphill battle. Unfortunately, the Hutchinson team couldn’t pull out the win, and Nebraska won the second game 23-25. During the third game, Hutch was haunted by the second game loss and succumbed once more to the Lady Cougars, 19-25. Luckily, in the fourth game, the Blue Dragons took charge of the game, with three kills from Nicole help-
ing the team gain an eight to two lead. The fourth game ended 25-19 in favor of HCC. As the Hutch ladies took the court for the fifth game, Western Nebraska took control with a 9-0 run and ended the final game with a score of 15-9. The Blue Dragons ended their 2014 National Tournament appearance after the Western Nebraska game, and an 11-17 all time NJCAA tournament record.

FACES AND FACTS TELL THE STORY OF DISABILITY November is Family Stories Month. Every family has stories—stories are a great way to carry on family legacies, pass lessons on to future generations, and share what is important to your family with the rest of the world. Your family stories may include ones about the birth of a child, serving in war, helping people in need, or the deaths of loved ones. We’d like to share some stories about what it means to receive disability benefits from Social Security. And we have a Web site that does just that: The Faces and Facts of Disability, ready for you to explore at www.socialsecu rity.gov/disabilityfacts. Learning the facts and hearing people’s stories about disability allows for a fuller understanding of what is perhaps the most misunderstood Social Security program. The Social Security Act sets a very strict definition of disability. To receive disability benefits, a person must have an impairment expected to last at least a year or result in death. The impairment must be so severe that it renders the person unable to perform not only his or her previous work, but also any other substantial work in the national job market. Social
Security does not provide temporary or partial disability benefits. Because the eligibility requirements are so strict, Social Security disability beneficiaries are among the most severely impaired people in the country and tend to have high death rates. In addition, Social Security conducts a periodic review of people who receive disability benefits to ensure they remain eligible for disability. Social Security aggressively works to prevent, detect, and prosecute fraud. Social Security often investigates suspicious disability claims before making a decision to award benefits - proactively stopping fraud before it happens. These steps help ensure only those eligible have access to disability benefits. If you want to learn more about what happens behind the scenes when someone applies for disability benefits, watch our seven-part video series on the process at www.socialsecurity.gov/ socialmedia/webinars. Please read and watch some of the stories about real cases of people who have benefited from Social Security by visiting the Faces and Facts of Disability Web site at www.socialsecurity.gov/ disabilityfacts. Family and personal stories are great ways to discover important truths.

“Notes From Nancy” by Stevens County FACS Agent Nancy Honig
Favorite Holiday Foods I love to bake, and the holiday season is my favorite time to indulge in baking! I also enjoy cooking in general, and it is fun to try new and different holiday foods, especially after gaining inspiration by watching the food network! But, I also try to remind people that the busy holiday season isn’t always the best time to try all new recipes, or get inspired to try baking glutenfree for the first time. It is always a good idea to make sure some of the dishes you prepare are tried and true, recipes that you don’t have to hunt all over the countryside for the ingredients, or ones that take 15 steps, on the first page alone. Adding one or two new recipes is challenge enough. Also, make sure you plan a time-line for cooking those big holiday meals, or for preparing to host a party. Keep in mind combining dishes that can be made a day or two ahead with dishes that need last minute hands-on preparation. As a hostess, plan so that you can be with your company, and not in the kitchen the whole evening. Consider serving simple soups and breads, especially for cozy family gatherings. One or two soups can go a long way in feeding people,
ing v i g s k n a Th Happy The Hugoton Hermes Office will be closed Thursday and Friday, November 27 and 28 for Thanksgiving.
and don’t take a great deal of preparation time. You can serve ready-cleaned vegetables and fruits for side dishes. Consider serving cooked vegetables plain instead of simmering with fancy sauces. They will be lower in calories, and easier to prepare. Instead of making multiple heavy desserts, stick to one popular dessert, and serve a variety of healthful fruits and salads to hit the sweet spot. Here are a couple of my favorite holiday recipes, one healthful, and one indulgent! Fresh Cranberry Salad 2 packages fresh cranberries 2 navel oranges: leave peel on one, discard peel on the other 4 apples, cored 2 cups sugar: may use substitute such as Splenda In a food processor grind cranberries, apples and oranges. Add sugar and let set one hour. Then drain in colander, discarding juice. Refrigerate overnight. Grandad Russell’s Coconut Macaroon Pie 1½ cups sugar 2 eggs ½ tsp. salt ¼ cup flour ½ cup milk 2½ cups angel flake coconut 1 unbaked pie shell Beat by hand the eggs and sugar. Add remaining ingredients and mix until blended. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees F for 4560 minutes until filling of pie is set. If you are interested in more great recipes for the holidays, the 4-H Council is selling Stevens County 4-H Council Cookbooks filled with recipes by current and former 4-H’ers in our county. They make a great holiday gift for only $12, and half of that goes to the 4-H Council! Get them at the Extension Office.

KHRC awards $1.675 million to help Kansas families obtain affordable housing Thirteen non-profits and public housing authorities statewide will share $1.675 million in Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) to help Kansas families obtain safe, affordable housing of their choice. Funded through the federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and administered by Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC), TBRA helps income-eligible households afford rental subsidies, utility deposits and security deposits. “These grants provide much needed help for financially stressed families,” said Christine Reimler, KHRC's HOME Division Director. “The assistance ensures the families will pay no more than 30 percent of their income for rent.” Awarded annually, TBRA grants are based on a community’s housing needs, the number of households estimated to be served and the organization’s experience in administering TBRA funding. Public housing authorities and non-profit organizations may apply for grants of up to $300,000. Local recipients of this year’s TBRA awards are: • Harvest America Rental As-

Last winter, KDOT spent more than $22 million and used 128,000 tons of salt to clear the state’s highways while plowing approximately 2.8 million miles, effectively plowing the 25,000-mile state system more than 110 times. “We are constantly fine tuning KDOT’s operation based on what we learned last year,” said Peter Carttar, Assistant Bureau Chief of Maintenance. “We are always working to improve what we do.” KDOT joins with other state and local agencies to enhance the safety of travelers before, during and after the storm. One of the best ways to stay safe on the road over the next few days and during the upcoming holiday travel period is to know the conditions before venturing out. There are a variety of ways to get updated information about road conditions in Kansas. Travelers can obtain route-specific road conditions and weather by calling 5-1-1 within the state or 866-511-5368 from out of state. The same information and more can be obtained by visiting the KanDrive Web site, www.kandrive.org, which also has maps, camera views of many routes and more, and the 511 mobile text only site, 511mm.ksdot.org. Those planning to travel during or after the storm should follow these safety tips: • Completely clean frost and snow off all windows, mirrors, and lights, and use headlights to provide optimum visibility. • Slow down, accelerate and brake gently, and increase following distance between other vehicles. • Don’t use cruise control. • Allow for more travel time. • Always wear a seat belt, and secure children in the proper child safety seats. • Slow down and move over for stopped emergency vehi-

cles and maintenance crews. • If involved in a non-injury crash on an interstate, U.S. highway, or any divided or multi-lane road in the state of Kansas, and if you are not transporting hazardous materials, you are required by law to move your vehicle out of the lane of traffic. This law is intended to help keep drivers and passengers safe by getting them out of the lane of traffic and away from oncoming vehicles. • If possible, remain in your vehicle, and remain buckled up, that way if a crash would occur involving your car or another vehicle nearby, you are more protected than if you are out in the roadway or even on the shoulder. • If involved in a traffic crash, or need assistance, call 911, or contact the Kansas Highway Patrol at *47 (*HP) from a cell phone. Call *582 (*KTA) on the Kansas Turnpike. Submitted by the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Governor outlines plans to deploy seismic monitoring Wednesday, November 12, Governor Sam Brownback in conjunction with members of the Induced Seismicity Task Force, announced the procurement and funding for the acquisition of a six station portable seismic network to monitor increased seismic activity in Harper, Sumner and Barber counties. “Public safety is my top priority,” said Governor Brownback. “We must balance the safety of all Kansans, and consider the impacts to industry. This deployment will give our state geologists the data they need to better understand the increased seismic activity being experienced in south-central Kansas and to formulate a
plan going forward.” The funding for the seismic network represents the continued cooperation between state agencies and will allow the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) to deploy monitoring stations in areas with significant seismic activity. The KGS anticipates the monitoring stations will cost about $85,000 and will be operational in early 2015. Governor Brownback established the Induced Seismicity Task Force with representation from the KGS, Kansas Corporation Commission, and Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The Task Force developed a draft plan with input from experts and the
public, and it was presented and adopted by Governor Brownback. The plan calls for a portable seismic network. The KGS continues to develop a permanent statewide seismic network in addition to the portable network that was partially funded during the last legislative session. Thus far in 2014, the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Earthquake Information Center has recorded 93 earthquakes in Kansas, ranging from a magnitude 1.3 to 4.3, nearly all in Sumner, Harper and Barber counties. This is an increase over 2013 and prior years. Submitted by the Office of Governor Sam Brownback.

Kansas marketplace opens for year two The second open enrollment period for the health insurance marketplace in Kansas opened this week. Last year, slightly more than 57,000 Kansans signed up for health insurance coverage through healthcare.gov, cre-

mium rating areas across the state. The most important features of the 2015 marketplace include: • The 2015 Kansas marketplace has 82 plans available 64 for individuals and families (down from 65 in 2014), and 18 for small businesses (up from seven in 2014). • All of the current insurers are again offering coverage, and one additional insurer has joined the Kansas marketplace in 2015, bringing the total number of insurers to five. • The average premium for all plans offered in the marketplace changed very little an increase of just 0.1 percent from 2014 to 2015. • However, individual Kansans could see a wide range of price changes for specific plans. For example, premiums for some silver plans are anywhere from 11.6 percent more to 13.0 percent less in 2015 compared to 2014. • Kansans seeking coverage through the marketplace, especially those considering re-
newing their current plans, are encouraged to evaluate their options carefully. Insurers may have adjusted their rates substantially and similar coverage may be available at a lower cost. KHI's online maps provide the monthly premium cost, available monthly tax credits to help pay for premiums, and the net monthly cost to representative consumers purchasing coverage through the Kansas marketplace. The maps and additional information on the Kansas marketplace are available at www.khi.org. "Kansans are encouraged to visit healthcare.gov to learn about the plans and premiums available in their area," said LeAnn Bell, Pharm.D., author of the new brief and a senior analyst at KHI. "It is important for shoppers to look at the options carefully to ensure they are getting the best coverage and value for themselves and their families whether they are renewing their coverage, or getting coverage for the first time," she added.

Check before you start your car Much like many of their human counterparts, pets do not always relish winter. Animals can experience arthritis pain or fatigue when the cold sets in. Shorter periods of daylight also may make them less active and likely to sleep for longer periods of time. In an effort to stay warm, some pets get creative. Cats can unintentionally put themselves in danger just to chase a chill away. The American Animal Hospital Association says cats will curl up against almost anything, including car engines, to stay warm. Cats caught in moving engine parts can be seriously hurt or killed. Before you turn your engine on, check beneath the
car or make a lot of noise by honking the horn or rapping on the hood. Also, if you have exposed radiators in a home or apartment, construct a cover to prevent cats and dogs from climbing on the exposed coils. The hot water pumping through radiators can cause burns. Cats and dogs also may get too close to fireplaces, so use a protective screen to keep them away from hot embers. Pets also can knock over portable heaters in an attempt to get warm. Look for models that automatically shut off if they fall over to reduce your risk of fire. From Metro Editorial Services.
John McDonald’s work in glass features vibrant colors in fluid glistening vessels. You can see his works at Baker Arts Center now through January 10, 2015.
John McDonald’s glass sculptures displayed at Baker Arts Center Vibrant colors in fluid glistening vessels and free form sculptural shapes greet visitors to the Baker Arts Center’s current exhibit of Blown Glass by John McDonald. This unique display opened Saturday, November 22, at 624 N. Pershing in Liberal. The exhibit runs through January 10, 2015, and is sponsored in part by a grant from the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass. Johnny’s glass art is inspired by seeing what he imagines in his mind come to life at the end of a pipe. Each creation is formed by blending, mixing, or layering colored glass to create unique art pieces which are merged using the age old process of glassblowing. The individual forms are molded into shapes by spinning, twisting, cutting and pulling the molten glass using hand tools and gravitational force. With almost 30 years of experience, John’s glass art can be found in galleries worldwide.
His interest and talent in the art of glassblowing developed during his high school years in Liberal. He continued his education in the medium for two years in community college and seven years as a glass blower in a Wichita studio. He established Meridian Street Art Glass in 1999.
John McDonald’s glass works can be seen at Baker Arts Center in Liberal until January 2015.
Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger receives an award Sandy Praeger, Kansas Commissioner of Insurance, received the President’s Award last weekend from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). The award is for Distinguished NAIC Member Leadership. In making the award, current NAIC President Adam Hamm, insurance commissioner from North Dakota, said of Commissioner Praeger, “During her 12 years in office, she has shaped policy, built consensus and been a friend to all of us in this room. As NAIC President, she set a vision for collaboration and cooperation and navigated this body through some of the most contentious policy debates. Her ability to work through tough issues is matched only by her compassion and respect for her colleagues.” Commissioner Praeger received the award at the NAIC Fall meeting in Washington,
D.C Sunday, November 16. The NAIC has representatives from each of the insurance departments in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories. “I am deeply humbled by the recognition my fellow commissioners have given me,” Commissioner Praeger said. “It is truly an honor to work with them on behalf of insurance consumers throughout the United States.” Commissioner Praeger was president of NAIC in 2008, and has been Chair of the NAIC Health and Managed Care Committee numerous times during her tenure as commissioner. She is a threeterm, elected statewide official who is retiring in January 2015. She will be replaced by Republican Ken Selzer, who was elected earlier this month.

Historic Sites Board of Review nominates properties for National Register of Historic Places At its regular quarterly meeting at the Kansas Historical Society in Topeka Saturday, November 8 the Historic Sites Board of Review voted to forward seven nominations to the office of the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places in Washington, D.C., to be evaluated by its professional staff. If staff members concur with the board’s findings, the properties will be included in the National Register. The board also voted to list one property in the Register of Historic Kansas Places and to remove two properties from both registers. The National Register of Historic Places is the country’s official list of historically significant properties. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources. Eligible properties must be significant for one or more of the four criteria for evaluation. Properties can be eligible if they are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history. They can be eligible if they are associated with the lives of persons significant in the past. Distinctive construction can qualify properties for the National Register if they embody the characteristic of a type, period, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. Lastly, properties may be eligible for the National Register if they have yielded or may be likely to yield information important in prehistory or history. The National Register recognizes properties of local, statewide, and national significance. The Register of Historic Kansas Places is the state’s official list of historically significant properties. Properties included in the National Register are auto-
matically listed in the State Register. However, not all properties listed in the State Register are included in the National Register. The same general criteria are used to assess the eligibility of a property for inclusion in the state register, but more flexibility is allowed in the interpretation of the criteria for eligibility. Among the nominations is Dalton Gang Hideout and Museum – 502 S. Pearlette Street in Meade. The Dalton Gang Hideout and Museum is a product of the auto-tourism era of the early and middle twentieth century. The Meade Chamber of Commerce, with assistance from the Work Projects Administration (WPA) and the National Youth Administration, developed the site in 1940 around the former residence of John and Eva (Dalton) Whipple, a sister of the famed outlaw Dalton brothers known for their robbery of trains and banks. Though stories of the Dalton Gang visiting Meade in the late 1800s surfaced in the early twentieth century, primary source evidence to support these claims has remained elusive. Nevertheless, local officials hoped to attract visitors using the colorful Dalton Gang tales and showcase history through the collections of local history buffs at this site. WPA officials reportedly turned down the community’s first proposal because it romanticized a gang of outlaws. The plans were resubmitted under the name Meade Historical Park, and greater emphasis was given to developing local history at the site. This midtwentieth century roadside attraction is nominated as part of the New Deal-era Resources of Kansas and Roadside Kansas multiple property nominations under Criterion A for its local significance in the areas of social history, government, and tourism. For a full list of nominations go to www.kshs.org/news/releases/pdfs/2015_kshs_national_register_noms_november_ 2014.pdf. Submitted by the Kansas Historical Society.

Relationship of obesity and Type 2 diabetes examined Diabetes is a disease that makes it difficult for the body to manage its blood-glucose levels. Diabetes is broken down into two types: type 1 diabetes, which occurs when the pancreas cannot adequately produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar; and type 2 diabetes, which occurs when the body either resists the effects of insulin or does not produce enough to maintain a normal blood sugar level. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports type 2 diabetes has been occurring with increasing frequency among American children and adolescents over the past 20 years. The Mayo Clinic says 90 percent of diabetes cases are type 2, and 80 percent of these people are overweight. Being overweight or obese is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes, but many people do not know why. There is some evidence that fat cells are more resistant to insulin than muscle cells. In addition, being overweight taxes the body in other ways and can put more pressure on the body’s ability to properly control blood sugar and use insulin. Carbohydrate-rich diets full of simple sugars and refined foods can cause unhealthy spikes in blood-glucose readings. Individuals
who overeat and lead sedentary lifestyles may not burn enough energy, and excess calories are then stored as fat, compounding the problem. The Obesity Society says type 2 diabetes is largely preventable, and research shows lifestyle changes including small amounts of weight loss (between five and ten percent of body weight) can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. In fact, managing weight is the best thing a person can do to reduce their risk for diabetes. Losing as few as ten pounds can markedly improve insulin resistance and make it much easier to manage blood sugar levels. In addition to losing weight, eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly can reduce a person’s risk of developing diabetes. Lean proteins, leafy green vegetables and complex carbohydrates will not spike blood sugar levels. Exercise helps burn calories and boost metabolism, and may even help the body use insulin more effectively. Type 2 diabetes can be a chronic, debilitating condition and lead to other illnesses. But type 2 diabetes is largely preventable, and losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight are great ways to lower your risk of diabetes. From MetroEditorial Services.

544-2261 USDA is an equal opportunity employer and provider NRCS Seeks Public Comments on Conservation Stewardship Program Interim Rule The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Kansas is seeking public comments on changes to the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) interim final rule. USDA published the interim final rule, which contains the statutory changes to CSP in the Federal Register https://www.federalregis ter.gov/articles/2014/ 11/05/2014-26295/conser vation-stewardship-programcsp-interim-rule. The rule will be open for public comments through January 5, 2015. Interested individuals can submit public comments on the interim final rule at www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=NRCS-20140008-0001. Public comments
will be used to finalize the interim final rule. A final rule will be published afterwards. “As conservation leaders, farmers and ranchers in Kansas will be pleased by the program changes,” said NRCS State Conservationist Eric B. Banks. “These changes will increase the level of stewardship needed to address critical resource concerns on working agricultural lands and enable them to deliver more conservation benefits.” The interim final rule is used to implement CSP. This program helps agricultural producers maintain and improve their existing conservation systems and adopt additional conservation activities to address priority resources concerns. Participants earn CSP payments for conservation performance - the higher the performance, the higher the payment.
Congress changed CSP in the 2014 Farm Bill and NRCS, the agency administering CSP, incorporated those changes into this interim rule. These changes are designed to improve the competitive nature of the program, including raising the bar for the quality of projects enrolled and increasing the number of priority resource concerns to be addressed during the term of the CSP contract. The interim final rule also expands the CSP’s reach to include veteran farmers and ranchers under special funding pools for beginning and socially disadvantaged producers, updates requirements for contract renewal, uses science-based stewardship thresholds to determine program eligibility and success, and expands program enrollment to include lands protected under the new Agricultural Conservation Ease-
ments Program and that are in the last year of the Conservation Reserve Program. NRCS has also increased flexibility for producers to make minor adjustments to their agricultural operations that will result in the same or better stewardship of the land, and removed extraneous provisions that did not relate to program participants rights and responsibilities.

America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders is now launching in 40 states, with more than $500,000 worth of scholarships available. Sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, the program provides $1,500 college scholarships to students pursuing a degree related to agriculture. Starting November 15, high school seniors and college students in Kansas and other eligible states can apply for this opportunity. Farmers know the rewards of a career in agriculture, but many of today’s youth may not. Luckily, there is an abundance of evidence that agriculture is a smart career choice. According to the USDA, nearly 55,000 jobs in agriculture are available every year. Many of the nation’s largest land-grant institutions, such as Penn State and Texas A&M University, report job placement rates above 90% for their ag students. Grow Ag Leaders helps engage future generations in agriculture by raising awareness of the broad range of career opportunities in the industry and by supporting their college education. The program was created in response to farmer requests to keep rural youth involved in agriculture. Farmers can par-
ticipate in the program by encouraging students in their community to apply for a scholarship and by endorsing their application. Because farmers play a crucial role in the industry, each applicant is required to obtain endorsements from at least three local farmers. “We want to encourage ambitious and talented students to pursue careers in this growing field,” said Elizabeth Vancil, Youth and Community Outreach manager at Monsanto. “As stu-
dents who grew up in rural areas learn more about what agriculture has become, they are realizing that it is a fascinating, hi-tech industry, with job growth, job security, and high wages. These young people are seeing that there are emerging opportunities for a new generation of innovative young farmers, engineers, implement designers, marketing specialists and seed scientists.” Grow Ag Leaders is part of the overall America's Farmers campaign, which highlights
the vital role played by farmers, through programs designed to support rural communities. Farmers interested in promoting the program and endorsing students’ scholarship applications can learn how at The GrowAgLeaders.com. scholarships are administered by the National FFA Organization, but FFA membership is not required to apply.

Benefit from nutritious turkey even after Thanksgiving If turkey is not normally on your lunch or dinner menu, come the holiday season it’s bound to show up in abundance. As soon as the weather cools and the crispness of late autumn is in the air, thoughts turn to more hearty meals, and of course, the fall pièce de résistance: Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey takes center stage on many Thanksgiving dinner tables, even though history suggests it likely wasn’t served at the first Thanksgiving. Despite this historical discrepancy, turkey and all the trimmings continue to be traditional fare for big holiday dinners. Much more than just delicious and filling, turkey boasts many nutritional benefits, making it a worthwhile addition to your diet regardless of the season. • Protein: Turkey is often overshadowed by other meats in refrigerated display cases, but it remains an excellent source of protein in a low-fat package. A typical 3.4- to four-ounce serving of skinless turkey breast (about the size of a deck of

cards) contains around 30 grams of protein, providing about 65 percent of the average person’s recommended daily allotment of protein. Protein helps the body feel full and serves many essential functions in the body. Proteins regulate the entry of nutrients through cell walls, help the body grow and help it to generate antibodies that fight against illness. • Low-fat: A serving of turkey is only 161 calories and contains just four grams of fat, which is low in saturated fat. • B-vitamin benefits: Turkey is an excellent source of B vitamins, including B3, B6 and B12. Having enough B3, also known as niacin, is important for overall health, and higher levels of niacin can improve cholesterol levels and lower a person’s risk for cardiovascular disease. B6 is also called pyridoxine. It’s involved in the process of making certain neurotransmitters, including serotonin and norepinephrine, which transmit signals in the brain. Important for neurological health, B12 helps decrease levels of homocysteine, which can contribute to cognitive decline. • Immune system effects: People may not know turkey contains selenium, which is key to healthy thyroid function. It also helps boost the immune system by playing a role in the body’s
antioxidant defense system. Selenium may help eliminate free radicals in the body that would otherwise contribute to cancer risk. • Relaxation: Many people are aware of turkey’s ability to induce feelings of relaxation, particularly when eaten in abundance at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Turkey contains the amino acid tryptophan,
which plays a role in triggering production of serotonin. Serotonin can induce feelings of relaxation and sleepiness. Turkey is lean, full of essential nutrients and low in saturated fat, making it a worthy addition to your diet no matter what time of year it happens to be. From MetroEditorial Services.

Rolla News By Phoebe Brummett
Be savvy this Cyber Monday and shop in the comfort of your home While Black Friday, the day when many retailers drastically reduce their prices in recognition of the first official day of the holiday shopping season, remains wildly popular among holiday shoppers, in recent years the day after Thanksgiving has gotten some competition in the way of Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving when many retailers, in particular those that are online-only, offer heavy discounts via their Web sites. Instead of Black Friday traditions like waiting outside stores in the wee hours of the morning, holiday shoppers who can wait until Cyber Monday to start buying gifts can do so from the comforts of their homes or offices. Many Cyber Monday discounts are already set in stone. But savvy shoppers can employ a few additional strategies to make sure they’re saving as much money as possible. • Be ready to buy. In the days leading up to Cyber Monday, make a list of what you want and, if possible, which retailers will have the best deals on those items (retailers may or may not advertise their Cyber Monday deals in advance). Some retailers only offer Cyber Monday deals during a relatively small window of time, so you don’t want to waste time comparing prices with other retailers and risk missing a great deal. Make sure such legwork is completed before the arrival of Cyber Monday. Knowing what you want also increases the likelihood that you will get what you want on Cyber Monday, which may enable you to take advantage of free shipping deals that won’t be available later in the season. • Buy smart. When shopping during Cyber Monday, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by sticker prices. But even the most heavily discounted items may be subject to substantial fees, negating the savings and, in certain in-
stances, costing you more money than if you were to simply buy the item in-store. Before making any purchases for Cyber Monday, determine the shipping and handling fees and any other additional costs that may offset the deal you think you’re getting. If a deal is simply too tempting to resist, see if there is an instore pickup option to save you the cost of shipping and handling. • Know the rules. Just because you won’t be waiting in line outside a store in the middle of the night on Black Friday does not necessarily mean you won’t have to get up early to take full advantage of Cyber Monday deals. In the course of doing your Cyber Monday homework, you may find certain items that you simply must have. When you find these deals, read the fine print so you know the rules regarding each specific deal. Some may say “while supplies last” or “limited supply.” In such instances, determine when the sale starts and be ready to go the moment the item goes on sale. • Resist temptation. Cyber Monday deals are often hard to resist, but holiday shoppers should stay disciplined and buy only those gifts they need and not heavily discounted items they are unlikely to use. Buying items you don’t need can stretch your holiday budget and distract you from the shopping you need to do. • Stack ‘em up. Stacking is a term used to describe the use of multiple coupons or discount codes on a single purchase. Many retailers do not allow customers to stack discounts, but some do. Take advantage of those that do. Cyber Monday has grown in popularity as more and more consumers do their holiday shopping online. But shoppers can save even more money if they employ a few saving strategies this Cyber Monday. From Metro Editorial Services.

Lowell Stanley tells about his Honor Flight By Lowell Stanley About a year ago I attended a meeting of the American Legion where a Veteran and his daughter talked about their Honor Flight. I decided that I would like to go on one, so I typed Kansas Honor Flight into my computer and got an application blank. I filled it out and mailed it in. Later I was notified that I was on the list to go. October 27 Judy [my sister] took me to Wichita to fly away. She has a daughter, Valina, who lives in Wichita so she stayed there while I went on my trip. The next day she took me to the airport where I met all the people that were going with me. There were 25 Korean War veterans and three World War II veterans. Each one of us had a guardian going with us to help us get around. My guardian was a realtor from Hutchinson. All together, there was about 50 of us. We flew from Wichita to Chicago, and then to Baltimore. We got on a bus that took us to a hotel where we had a banquet. The next morning we had a great buffet breakfast. We rode a bus to Washington, D.C. We got off the bus near the WWII Memorial. After the WWII Memorial, we walked to the Korean War Memorial. From there we went to the Lincoln Memorial. From there we went to the Viet Nam Memorial. We got on the bus and went to the Air Force Memorial and then we went to the Arlington National Cemetery. Then we went to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This tomb has been guarded twentyfour hours a day, seven days a week,
365 days a year since 1931. Once when Washington, D.C., was threatened by a hurricane, the senators and all the representatives left for safety. They gave the guards permission to leave. They didn't; they stayed right there. One man stays on duty for an hour. He takes 21 steps across in front of the tomb, stops and waits for 21 seconds then he turns around, shifts his rifle to the other shoulder and takes 21 steps back. He does this for an hour; then they have a ceremony and a new guard takes over. We brought a new wreath to the tomb and the guards replaced the wreath there with ours. Next we went to the Marines’ Iwo Jima Memorial. This is a statue from a photograph of Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima. While we were there Marines were re-enlisting for four more years. About the time we finished visiting the memorials it started to rain. We were lucky to have such nice weather while we were there. We got back on the bus and headed north. About an hour later we came to the Smithsonian Air Museum. This was a huge hanger with many airplanes. Among the planes there was the Enola Gay. This is the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. There was a McDonald's in the museum. At Guymon, Ok., I can get a small coke for 23 cents; at the Smithsonian Museum it cost me two and a half dollars. We had a terrible time getting back to Baltimore. Terrible traffic jams slowed us down to about ten miles an hour. When we got back to Baltimore we went to a Golden Corral Restaurant. I love eating there. The last day after breakfast, we got back on the bus and went to Fort McHenry. During the War of 1812 the
British Navy attacked the Fort and shelled it all night. The next morning the flag was still flying and Francis Scott Key wrote “The Star Spangled Banner.” The flag that was flying then had 15 stripes and 15 stars. It was only later that they went back to 13 stripes and added a star for each new state. The flag that was flying was huge—about 40 by 30 feet. We went to a great barbecue place and had lunch, we went to the airport and headed for home. Each time we went into an airport to start a flight or to change flights, people all around would give us a big hand to show their appreciation of our service. I never thought of myself as a hero. I enlisted just before the Korean War started and got out just after it ended, but all that time I was stationed at Roswell, N.M., far from any battle. But it sure felt good to be treated as a hero. When we got back to Wichita, there had been a serious airplane crash and traffic had been blocked up, and Judy had a hard time getting to the airport. There were about 300 people there to welcome us home. There was a High School ROTC Honor Guard, a bagpiper and a bunch of little kids with flags. A church group gave us a styrofoam box with cinnamon rolls. I had a great time.

HUGOTON HIGH SCHOOL 100TH YEAR ALUMNI CHATTER
The Hugoton Marching Eagles went international in July 1973 when they were invited to join 23 other bands from across the U.S. to take part in the second World International Music Festival in Vienna, Austria. The festival also included teens from Italy, The Netherlands and Czechoslovakia. More than 4,000 musicians marched through the streets blowing horns and beating drums during the seven days of the festival. The HHS students and sponsors left the U.S. July 5 for the week-long festival. Opening ceremonies took place at Schoenbrunn Castle in Vienna on July 8. The following Saturday at the closing ceremonies at Rathausplatz, the Marching Eagles were awarded a silver and gold trophy as winners in Class C. Band Director Ron Cross said the band “received standing ovations everytime we played. “I’d say we never played before less than 8,000 people or so,” Cross continued. “One time, people were lined up 15 deep on both sides of the street for three miles to watch us march and play.” Students shared Cross’s enthusiasm. Drum major Daryl Lynch said, “They liked everything. They don’t have marching bands over there, so every time we marched, it really did something for them. “I bet you we had a million pictures taken of us. Sometimes a woman would run up by the band, smile real big and her husband would shoot her picture. “One little boy asked Richard Rome [a fellow band member] for a feather out of his plume. Richard gave him one, and he went straight to heaven.” More than a few tears were shed when the band had to say farewell to new friends. Cross said the band had really hit it off with the Holland band. “Some of our boys started talking to some of their girls, and then some of their girls started talking to our guys,” he recalled. “Yes, I think there were a few romances. I know some of the girls are talking about going to Holland and visiting their boyfriends.” The band had raised more than $50,000 to pay expenses to the festival with the help of a supportive community. Proceeds from the annual Hugoton Area Chamber of Commerce banquet in February 1973 were given exclusively to the HHS Marching Band as part of their fund-raising efforts. Governor Robert B. Docking was the keynote speaker at the banquet and paid tribute to the band. “They have demonstrated by their hard work and untiring efforts that they are willing to work to raise the funds necessary for their trip to Vienna,” he said. “I hope all of the citizens of Southwest Kansas will join me in participating with these young persons in order to ensure that Kansas will be represented by this outstanding marching band.” Sources: The Hutchinson News; The Garden City Telegram; The Playground Daily News, Ft.

Guess who
Marching Eagles Win Festival! From the July 19, 1973, issue of The Hugoton Hermes
The Hugoton Eagle Marching Band members have become celebrities in Hugoton as well as this entire area. That is not so surprising when you realize how many people have been involved in this adventure and how proud everyone is of these youngsters. But what was a little unexpected and a welcome surprise was the fame and fans they acquired in Vienna. The Marching Eagles under the direction of Ron Cross won the World International Music Festival in Class C and were awarded a handsome silver and gold trophy. Three judges were present to rate the bands and the Eagles received a First Division rating from all three. These top honors were the highest possible in their division. In a telephone conversation on Saturday, June 14, soon after the awards presentation, Mr. Cross related some of their experiences in Vienna. He told of the various concerts they performed and of the standing ovations they received. Crowds of people cheered them on and even asked for their autographs. Mr. Cross commented, “The kids have considerable freedom and they have treated it with a great respect and we’re just getting along beautifully.” Dr. William Revelli, a most distinguished band director and judge, wrote a personal letter to the winners. Dear Ron and band members, My sincere congratulations for your fine performance at the marching band competition last evening and your winning of our festival trophy for Class C Marching Band. Your band showed superior leadership in every element of performance. I am sure Hugoton is very, very proud of all of you and so are we. Cordially, Dr. William D. Revelli. A favorite word to describe the experience was “fantastic” and it was used often in connection with this trip and the winning of the festival. Father Baker praised the youngsters for their mature behavior and stated that it was difficult to express just how proud he was of them. The day of the awards presentaton, the Eagles became acquainted with a band from Holland and they celebrated the achievement together. “This is the first celebration we’ve ever attended on an international basis,” said Father Baker, “and we’ll see if we can’t show the good image of America. They commended that the prices were a little higher than they had expected, but the food and accomodations were great and the people were just wonderful. When one of the girls was asked if it was all worth it and would they do it again, she emphatically replied, “Absolutely!” And so on Tuesday, amid victory cheers and welcome home tears, our band returned home, proud of a goal achieved and grateful for the opportunity to reach it. In a short time, these “ambassadors abroad” have viewed the opportunity to demonstrate the abilities and sensibilities of American young. Congratulations and Welcome Home!

History From The Hermes Compiled by Ruthie Winget Thursday, December 3, 2009 Kicking off the Christmas Season festivities, Debora Gallagher’s dance academy performed the familiar Nutcracker Ballet in Hugoton.

How to simplify the process of returning gifts Returns are an inconvenient reality of the holiday season. Whether you’re returning clothes that don’t fit or big-ticket items that don’t suit your lifestyle, the idea of making those returns is unlikely to inspire enthusiasm. However, the following are a few ways to simplify the process of returning gifts so it goes as quickly and as smoothly as possible. •Gingerly open packages. Much of the frustration associated with returning gifts can be traced to returning the items in boxes that were torn apart when opening the gifts. Before tearing into a package or removing tags from any clothing, consider the gift and if you think you might want to return it. Some stores will not allow returns unless packaging is completely intact, while some clothing retailers will only accept returns that include the original tags. So examine all gifts before you go tearing into any packaging so your initial excitement may impede your ability to return ultimately unwanted gifts. •Don’t delay a return. Men and women who wait to return an item may be making things more difficult on themselves. Some stores only allow returns
for a predetermined number of days after the product is purchased, while others may not offer cash back after that period has expired. If you know you want to return a gift, do so soon after receiving the gift to minimize the headaches that come from procrastinating with regard to returning gifts. •Bring the original receipt. When possible, bring the original receipt instead of just the gift receipt. Returns made with only a gift receipt may only be eligible for store credit or a retailer may not give you full credit for the amount spent on the gift. In the latter case, without the actual receipt, you likely won’t know how much store credit you deserve or how much cash back you can expect. •Know the return policy before visiting the store. Return lines can be long, and no one wants to finally make it to the front of the line only to be told an item must be returned via the mail or that returns are subject to fees they don’t want to pay. Save yourself the time and frustration of a failed return by researching the retailer’s return policy before you head out to return any items. From MetroEditorial Services.

Fifth Annual Small Business Saturday is this weekend November 29, 2014, marks the fifth annual Small Business Saturday, a day to support the local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and preserve neighborhoods and communities around the country. Small Business Saturday was created in 2010 in response to small business owners’ most pressing need: more customers. To date, more than 3.3 million Facebook users have “liked” the Small Business Saturday page. Just last year, 370+ advocacy organizations, 160+ corporations, and elected officials in all 50 states and Washington D.C. declared their support for Small Business Saturday. Now in its fifth year, Small Business Saturday serves as the ceremonial kickoff to the holiday shopping season for small businesses across the United States. In 2013, nearly 1,500 Neighborhood Champions rallied local businesses and created events and activities to drive shopping at small businesses around the country. The day was also championed by elected officials in all 50 states and Washington D.C., including President Obama, who took his daughters shopping at a local bookstore. The Hugoton Area Chamber of Commerce recognizes the importance of supporting small business in Hugoton and Stevens County, the jobs they help create and the culture they instill in our communities. According to the U.S. Small Businesses Administration, as of
2012, small businesses nationwide accounted for 64% of net new private-sector jobs created and represented 99.7% of all employer firms.1 Stevens County is full of great stores and services. We would like to introduce you to several of the newest members of the Hugoton Area Chamber of Commerce that have recently opened their doors. Relentless Boutique
