USD 210 BOE discusses budget and personnel

Hugoton High School senior representatives provided some spe-cial music to the crowd of family and friends during commence-ment services Saturday.

Hugoton’s upper-levelbusiness students partici-pated in a variety of jobshadow experiences as thegrand finale of the depart-ment’s career preparationtraining.

Students requested spe-cific careers they wanted toinvestigate further, andteachers Cara Rogers andPaige Rawlings helped makethe contacts with local pro-fessionals.

“This year’s students weremostly interested in shadow-ing medical professions,” saidRogers, “but we were also ex-cited to place students withprofessionals involved in lawenforcement and the legalsystem.”

The one-day job shadow isintended to provide studentsa glimpse into the real worldof work, and help them final-ize plans before going on toreceive additional trainingafter high school.

Attorney Paul Kitzke tooksenior Alondra Loya to meetwith a judge in Liberal, as

well as provide a tour of thejail, so she’d see different as-pects of his daily routine.

Dr. Sam allowed seniorBradley Campbell to follow ashe consulted with patients,while other students shad-owed Southwest Medical pro-fessionals in ICU, OB/GYN,and the laboratory.

“We were in a separateroom and watched a cesareansection through a glass win-dow,” said junior LeslieMiller.

Brandy Robson welcomeda student who was interestedin investigating mortuary sci-ence, while the SewardCounty Sheriff’s Departmentallowed two young men totour the jail before ridingaround with deputies onduty.

The Hugoton Business De-partment would like to ex-press their appreciation toparticipating leaders. InHugoton: Paul’s FuneralHome, Tate & Kitzke LLC,and Stevens County MedicalCenter, and in Liberal:Southwest Medical Centerand Seward County Sheriff’sOffice.

Hugoton fought backand added three runs in thesixth and one last run in thetop of the seventh. The effortwas not enough to overcomethe Lady Tigers’ first inningrally that eventually got thewin.

Three pitchers for the LadyEagles took the mound dur-ing the second game. BaileyHaynes tried her hand on themound but allowed one hit,five runs, four walks and onestrike out before being re-placed by Kelsey Hittle. Shewent a little over two inningsallowing four hits, five runs,seven walks and no kills atthe plate. Taryn Garza fin-ished up the final three in-nings allowing no hits, onerun, one walk and struck outsix before the game was over.

Ticks are stealthy, oppor-tunistic arachnids that maketheir debut in spring just astemperatures begin to rise.How to prevent becoming ahost to these hitchhikers andthe various diseases theymay carry isn’t a mystery,but it has to be methodical.Here are a few simple precau-tions that can reduce yourchances of a tick encounterthis season.

Tip #1: Since most tickscrawl upward onto a host,tuck pant legs into boots andshirts into pants. For extraprotection, tape such clothingjunctures with duct tape,then twist the tape so thesticky side is out and makeone more wrap.

Tip #2: Wear light-coloredclothing when possible. Thismakes it easier to see tickscrawling around before theyfind their way to your skin.

Tip #3: Look for a repellentthat contains 0.5 percent ormore of permethrin. This

works as a great tick repel-lent and can usually be usedon clothing. In fact, someproducts containing thechemical can remain bondedwith clothing fibers eventhrough laundering.

Tip #4: After a day out-doors, inspect all clothing be-fore going inside. Onceinside, do a thorough bodyinspection and wash clothingas soon as possible.

Tip #5: Don’t forget to pro-tect man’s best friend. Com-mercially available dog dipscontaining amitrax or perme-thrin can provide canineswith tick protection for two tothree weeks per treatment.For the very best tick preven-tion for canines, contact yourlocal veterinarian and inquireabout prescribed treatmentoptions, most of which cannow last for a month or more.

If a tick is found attachedto the skin, remove it as soonas possible and disinfect theimmediate area. The sooner a

tick is removed, the lesschance it will transmit a dis-ease to its host. Ticks can beremoved manually by grasp-ing as close to the skin aspossible with fine forceps ortweezers. The tick is thenpulled slowly straight awayfrom the skin, using slow,steady pressure. The tickshould not be twisted orjerked out of the skin be-cause this might cause thehead to become detached andleft in the skin. Ticks re-moved from people should besaved in a vial with alcoholand labeled with the date. Ifflu-like symptoms – includ-ing, headache, skin rash, andfever – occur 10 to 14 daysafter tick removal, see aphysician immediately andtake the tick with you or sendit to the local K-State Re-search and Extension office.

One of the most commondiseases transmitted by ticksis Lyme disease. In 2012, theCenters for Disease Control

and Prevention (CDC) hadnine confirmed cases and 10probable cases of Lyme Dis-ease within Kansas. To putthings in perspective, Penn-sylvania had 4,146 confirmedcases the same year.

After a tick bite, Lyme dis-ease may progress severalweeks without signs of ill-ness, making diagnosis diffi-cult. Years of pain andphysical and mental impair-ment can result if untreated.If signs of severe or persistentheadaches, fever, soreness orstiffness in muscles andjoints, appetite loss, fatigue,or a skin rash occur withinthree weeks after a tick bite,immediately contact yourdoctor. Early diagnosis andtreatment is critical.

Other notable tick-borndiseases found in Kansas in-clude ehrlichiosis, RockyMountain spotted fever, andtularemia.

They’re swimming in thespot you almost casted, they’rebiting just milliseconds afteryou reel in your line, they’rerecord-breaking fish, and theyhave yet to be caught. Inhabit-ing lakes and reservoirs allacross the state, trophy fishare lurking about in some ofKansas’ most popular fishingspots. They will be caught; it’sjust a matter of when.

If you’ve been thinkingabout hitting the water forsome fishing fun, now is thetime. With 36 species of sportfish to choose from, Kansaswaters offer anglers of all expe-rience levels the opportunity tocatch the next state record.

If the fish on the end of yourhook looks like it could be arecord-breaker, keep the fishintact until it can be officiallycertified as a state record. Thefish should be weighed on cer-tified scales as soon as possi-ble. Do not freeze the fishbefore it is weighed. The weigh-ing must be witnessed and thefish species must be confirmedby a Kansas Department ofWildlife, Parks and Tourismfisheries biologist or a Fisheriesand Wildlife Division regionalsupervisor. A color photographof the fish must accompanythe application and all applica-tions for state records require a30-day waiting period beforecertification..

But even if you don’t find a11.81-pound largemouth or1.7-pound redear sunfish onthe end of your line, your nextbig catch could land you aMaster Angler Award. MasterAngler Awards are given to an-glers who have caught aspecies of fish that meet or ex-ceed a required length, de-pending on the species, andMay is the top month for Mas-

ter Angler Award fish. To viewthe length requirements ofeach species for a Master An-gler Award, visitksoutdoors.com and click“Fishing / Special Fishing Pro-grams for You / Master AnglerAward Program.”

National Dog Bite PreventionWeek, May 18-24

The Hugoton Post Office isasking for the public’s sup-port in keeping their dogs re-strained year-round for thesafety of letter carriers andthe community. Nationwide5,581 mail carriers were at-tacked by dogs last year, in-cluding 56 in Kansas. Manyof the bites resulted in med-ical attention beyond first-aid, and several casesresulted in letter carriers

being unable to return totheir normal duties for a pe-riod of time.

Although no Hugoton car-riers have been bitten re-cently, there have been someclose calls, according to Post-master Tracy Archuelta.

“We’re asking pet ownersto restrain their dogs andallow their letter carriers todeliver the mail safely,” saidArchuleta. “We can’t controlpeople’s dogs; only dog own-ers can do that. We take thesafety of our employees veryseriously. We will not waituntil a carrier is bitten beforetaking preventative action.”

While 5,581 letter carrierswere attacked last year,thatnumber pales in comparisonto the 4.5 million Americansannually bitten by dogs - half

of whom are children - ac-cording to the Centers forDisease Control and Preven-tion (CDC). The U.S. PostalService, the medical commu-nity, veterinarians and theinsurance industry are work-ing together to educate thepublic that dog bites areavoidable by declaring May18-24 as National Dog BitePrevention Week.

Archuleta shares the fol-lowing tips about this impor-tant issue. • If a letter carrier delivers acertified letter or a package toyour front door, place yourdog into a separate room andclose the door before openingthe front door. Dogs havebeen known to burst throughscreen doors or plate-glasswindows to get at strangers.

• Dog owners should remindtheir children about the needto keep the family dog se-cured. Parents should remindtheir children not to take maildirectly from letter carriers inthe presence of the family petas the dog may see handingmail to a child as a threaten-ing gesture.• The Postal Service placesthe safety of its employees asa top priority. If a letter car-rier feels threatened by a vi-cious dog or if a dog isrunning loose, the owner maybe asked to pick up the mailat the Post Office until thecarrier is assured the pet hasbeen restrained. If the dog isroaming the neighborhood,the pet owner’s neighborsmay be asked to pick up theirmail at the Post Office as well.

Hugoton now has anotherchoice for free recreation. Afrisbee golf course has been setup at Raydene Park for youngand old alike. Raydene Park islocated two blocks south ofHighway 51, on ThirteenthStreet from Main Street toAdams Street.

The whole idea came aboutwhen Annha Eshbaugh cameto the Hugoton RecreationBoard meeting and presentedto the board her thoughts forinstalling a new frisbee golfcourse.

Jan Leonard checked intohow to get the course installed.The Hugoton City Council wasthen approached and council-men gave permission to havethe course installed. Somepeople came from Wellingtonto put together the frisbee golfcourse in Raydene park.

Since it was Annha’s idea,she had the honor to play thefirst frisbee golf game after itwas installed.

Austin Heaton stated it isalmost like regular golf butfrisbees are used instead ofgolf clubs. There is a little teebox on a silver stand that tellsthe distance. There are differ-ent disks players can use.There are driver disks, middledistance disks and putterdisks. The course features parthrees and par fours. The ob-ject is to get the frisbee diskinto the chain cage just liketrying to get a golf ball into ahole. The player walks thecourse and keeps score.

Hugoton Recreation haspurchased bought four sets ofgolf frisbees to be checked out.Each set has three disks in itwith a bag. They can bechecked out at the HugotonRecreation Commission lo-cated at 211 S. Madison, Mon-day through Friday. Thesedisks work much better thanordinary frisbees. A retailbusiness in Hugoton is beingsought to sell these golf fris-bees. If anyone is interested,let the Hugoton RecreationCommission know.

With several Kansas uni-versities hosting commence-ment ceremonies thisweekend, students and fami-lies traveling along theKansas Turnpike will havethe opportunity to learn moreabout the Rural OpportunityZones (ROZ) program, thanksto three large signs along theTurnpike between Wichitaand Topeka. These signs in-form travelers they can moveto rural Kansas and receiveincome tax waivers and stu-dent loan repayment assis-tance.

“By partnering with theKansas Turnpike Authority,we’re able to spread the wordto drivers on the interstateabout the Rural OpportunityZones program,” KansasCommerce Secretary PatGeorge said. “These signs willbe of particular interest tostudents and their familiestraveling for graduation thisweekend. Debt is a pressingconcern for many graduates,and these signs will helpspread the message thatKansas offers a unique wayto help them pay for theirstudent loans.”

Two of the signs tout thestudent loan repayment pro-

gram, which allows qualifiedgraduates to receive studentloan repayments of up to$15,000. A third sign adver-tises the ability for individu-als to move to Kansas fromout-of-state and have up tofive years of their state in-comes waived. Currently, 73counties are participating inthe income tax waiver part ofthe program, and 66 countiesfeature the student loan re-payment option. July 1, fouradditional counties - Chero-kee, Labette, Montgomeryand Sumner - will becomeROZ counties.

The signs are located onbridges near southboundmile marker 113 just north ofEmporia, southbound milemarker 114 just south of Em-poria and northbound milemarker 71 just north of ElDorado.

“This is exactly the type ofpartnership opportunitywe’re encouraging betweenState agencies,” said KDOTSecretary Mike King, whoalso serves as director of the

KTA. “Secretary George and Iwant the same thing: to growthe Kansas economy. This isan example of working to-gether toward that commongoal.”

To date, more than 1,500individuals from 42 stateshave already applied for thestudent loan repayment por-tion of the program, and it

continues to rapidly grow inpopularity. Students andtheir families are encouragedto visit KansasCommerce.com/Rural to learn moreabout the ROZ program andhow to apply, and to view acomplete list of participatingcounties.

God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not to be,

so He put his arms around you and whispered, “Come to Me.”

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer, and saw you fade away.

Although we loved you dearly,We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,Hard Working Hands to Rest.

God Broke our hearts to prove,He only takes the best.

In Memory

It’s lonesome here without you,We miss you more each day.Life doesn’t seem the same,Since you have gone away.

When days are sad and lonely,And everything goes wrong,

We seem to hear you whisper.“Cheer up and carry on”

Each time we see your picture,You seem to smile and say,

Don’t cry I’m in God’s hands,We’ll meet again someday!

Remember Your Veterans

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you,

Jesus Christ and the American G.I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Henry Neufeld has been areal source of inspiration forHLA students. He completedhis high school classwork infive nine-week periods. That isremarkable! Teachers couldhardly keep up with removingcompleted classes and addingnew ones! But more than justa determined worker, Henrywas conscientious about doinga good job! He is also a won-derful young man who is intel-ligent, hard working, and

determined. He now sees theadvantages of learning askilled trade at a vocationalschool. HLA is proud of his ac-complishments and knows hewill do well in the future.Isabel Luna

Isabel Luna has been a stu-dent at HLA for a couple ofyears now. She has workedhard to finish her high schooldiploma while maintaining herjob and family responsibilities.It has not been easy, but shehas done it! With determina-tion and perseverance, Isabelhas overcome all of the obsta-cles of time and energy thatwere standing in her way. Shenever gave up! Isabelle is to becommended for her hard work.

MAY 2014

To some, Memorial Day is the unofficial first day of summer. It’sa long weekend spent barbecuing on the deck, sunning at the beachor getting the pool ready for the season.

But, relaxation isn’t the true meaning behind the holiday. Originally, Memorial Day was set aside to honor those who werekilled during the Civil War. Southern states refused to acknowledgethe holiday, feeling it honored only the northern Union soldiers.After World War I, the holiday was expanded to recognize Americanswho fought in any war. Thus, the southern states were persuaded toaccept it as a holiday. In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be observed on the last Monday in May.

This year, take time out to remember American soldiers. Displaya flag outside your home or car, attend or participate in a community parade, write letters to those currently serving in themilitary or pay a visit to the local cemetery to honor your hometownheroes.

Sentimental JourneyThis last weekend Hugoton,

Hugoton Learning Academyand Rolla celebrated the grad-uations of their high schoolseniors. Earlier this month,Moscow celebrated the gradu-ation of their high school sen-iors. It is a wonderful andexciting time as our towns’young adults take off into theworld to find their niche in life,whatever that may be.

There are many things fromyour high school days youmay or may not choose to re-member. Then again there aresome things you may want toremember and share with oth-ers, like what you looked likein 2014. We have a displayhere at the Museum with thephotos of each graduate fromHugoton, Hugoton LearningAcademy, Rolla and Moscowfrom The Hugoton Hermes.

You think you had a roughteacher?! Well, let me tell youabout one science classteacher by the name of MissGoodrich! If you were in MissGoodrich's eighth grade class"way back in the times ofyore", you might have had ascience project that included asteer from the Goodrich farm.Poor old steer—he had gone tothe ol' steer heaven in the sky,and all he had left behind werehis bones. Miss Goodrich de-cided she needed to find ahome for those bones—andshe found that home in herclassroom! The excitement

and probably a few gaspscame when she announced toher class they were going toreconstruct the skeleton! Well,they completed the assign-ment to the pride of MissGoodrich and the entire class,no doubt receiving an "A" forAstounding Accomplishment.There was just too much workput into it to throw away. Con-sequently, it was Dave andShirley Bozone who donated itto the Museum, where it isdisplayed! Come see the classproject Miss Goodrich's eighthgrade class was assigned todo. Whew!

Oh, and while you are at it,see the many items past grad-uates used to learn with inyears past, including thedesks they sat in, pen and inkwells the boys dipped the girls'braids into, and a one roomschoolhouse that will be openfor viewing come June 1 orother times by request. We areopen 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Mon-day through Friday and 1:00to 4:00 p.m. Saturday. As ofJune 1, we will be open from10:00 a.m. closing onlythrough the lunch hour from12:00 to 1:00 p.m. We are lo-cated at 905 S. Adams inHugoton.

By the way, exciting news!We actually had some visitorsfrom the Phillipines who weretouring the United States!Imagine that - all the way fromthe Phillipines and they cometo little ol' Hugoton!

This poolhall was opened in 1929 by Russell Harris and con-verted to a beer tavern called the Buckhorn in 1947. It was theoldest continuous business on Main Street owned by the samefamily. Photo is taken from “The History of Stevens County & ItsPeople.”

The skeleton of a steer displayed at the Museum was recon-structed as a school project. It was donated to the museum byDave and Shirley Bozone.

The peak of summer travelacross our nation’s highways isabout to begin. The KansasHighway Patrol will be workingadditional hours for the nexttwo weeks, thanks in part tofunding from the Kansas De-partment of Transportationthrough the STEP (SpecialTraffic Enforcement Program)campaign, to help motoristsreach their destinations safely.The enforcement campaignruns from Monday, May 19,through Sunday, June 1.

“Memorial Day is a celebra-tion of the great men andwomen who have lost theirlives serving this great countryand also marks the start ofsummer vacation season na-tionwide. The KHP and all ofour law enforcement partnerswould remind all Kansans tobuckle up, Every trip, Everytime,” said Lieutenant JoshuaKellerman, Patrol public infor-mation officer. “We would alsoremind everyone to make plansin advance for a sober driver.Law enforcement will also be

out looking for those driverswho made the wrong decisionto drink and drive.”

The STEP program allowsofficers to work overtimehours, providing extra man-power on the roads and focus-ing on areas such as occupantprotection, enforcing impaireddriving laws, and other trafficsafety issues. This year’s focusof the Memorial Day STEPcampaign is, “Click It orTicket,” encouragingseatbelt/child safety seat usefor occupants of all ages.

Over the 2013 MemorialDay holiday reporting periodfor the Patrol (KHP stats only),troopers worked three fatalcrashes on Kansas’ highways.Three people were killed inthose crashes, all of whichwere alcohol-related. Therewere nine total impaired driv-ing crashes. The Patrol ar-rested 30 people for impaireddriving. Personnel also assisted1,176 motorists who neededhelp on Kansas roads.

The Patrol wishes all of

those traveling during the Me-morial Day holiday weekend,and throughout the summer,

safe travels. If you are in needof assistance on a Kansashighway, you can call KHP for

assistance at *47 (*HP) or *582(*KTA) for the Kansas Turn-pike.

Friday, Governor Brown-back vetoed a $5 millionsweep of funds from theKansas Endowment forYouth (KEY) Fund for theKansas Bioscience Authority.“The governor's action todaywill contribute toward hisgoals of reducing childhoodpoverty and increasingfourth-grade reading profi-ciency,” said Shannon Cotso-radis, president and CEO ofKansas Action for Children.“Early education programsgive Kansas kids the skillsthey need to succeed inschool and later in the work-force. The governor re-sponded to pressure fromadvocates, educators andparents to reverse this sweepand to invest in Kansas chil-dren.”

Under the system created

by the Legislature, paymentsto the state from the mastertobacco settlement agree-ment go directly to the KEYFund, which serves as a long-term endowment for earlychildhood programs. Eachyear, money is transferredfrom the KEY Fund to theChildren’s Initiatives Fund(CIF) to provide funding forhigh-quality early childhoodprograms like Parents asTeachers and Early HeadStart. This year, Kansas re-ceived a $62 million tobaccopayment but had budgeted$55 million for the CIF. Theunappropriated $7 millionwill now remain in the KEYFund.

“The KEY Fund has beenused repeatedly as a piggybank that lawmakers raidwhenever they feel like it,”

said Cotsoradis. “The moneyfrom the tobacco settlementpayments is earmarked forchildren—and since we knowthose payments will start todecline in just a few years,now more than ever we needa true endowment for earlychildhood. The reversal of thesweep is the just the first steptoward restoring long-termstability for children’s pro-grams.”

Since the establishment ofthe KEY Fund in 1999, morethan $140 million has beendiverted for other purposes.At the end of Fiscal Year2015, the KEY Fund is ex-pected to have an ending bal-ance of only $13.6 million.
