Dear Editor,An economics professor at a local col-

lege made a statement that he had neverfailed a single student before, but re-cently failed an entire class. That classhad insisted that Obama’s socialismworked and that no one would be poorand no one would be rich, a great equal-izer. The professor then said, “OK, we willhave an experiment in this class onObama’s plan. All grades will be averagedand everyone will receive the same gradeso no one will fail and no one will receivean A.” (Substituting grades for dollars -something closer to home and more read-ily understood by all.)

After the first test, the grades were av-eraged and everybody got a B. The stu-dents who studied hard were upset andthe students who studied little werehappy. As the second test rolled around,the students who studied little studiedeven less and the ones who studied harddecided they wanted a free ride, too, sothey studied little. The second test aver-aged a D! No one was happy. When thethird test rolled around, the average wasan F. As the tests proceeded, the scoresnever increased as the bickering, blameand name calling all resulted in hard feel-ings and no one would study for the ben-efit of anyone else.

To their great surprise, all failed andthe professor told them that socialismwould ultimately fail because when the re-ward is great, the effort to succeed isgreat, but when government takes all thereward away, no one will try or want tosucceed.

These are possibly the five best sen-tences you’ll ever read and all applicableto this experiment:

1. You cannot legislate the poor intoprosperity by legislating the wealthy out ofprosperity.

2. What one person receives withoutworking for, another person must workfor without receiving.

3. The government cannot give any-body anything that the government doesnot first take from someone else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by divid-ing it.

5. When half the people get the ideathat they do not have to work because theother half is going to take care of them,and when the other half gets the idea thatit does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they workedfor, that is the beginning of the end of anation.

I did not write that analogy; I submit-ted it to make a point and to respond tothe editors letter of June 26, 2014.

Mr. Flentje asked a question: “Why areproperty tax increases falling most heavilyon rural areas?” Taxes should be paidfrom the land because the land generatesa renewable source of income every year -every time a crop is planted or when a cowhas a calf, that is new wealth created fromthe land, not wealth that is taken fromPeter to pay Paul.

But just like the students who workedhard and studied and got no more rewardthan the students who didn’t study orwork at it, our farmers and ranchers havebeen asked to increase production, be-come more efficient managers and to do itat break-even or at times below the cost

of production, only to be used as a whip-ping boy to give away the real wealth ofthis country to try and make peace withsome country that has hated us sinceChrist was born and will continue to hate

us until he decides to return, and to fundother welfare programs like food stampsand the school lunch program whichmake up over 80% of the farm bill.

I was in Wichita and listened to afarmer speak to a group of people and hemade the comment: “You cannot starveone segment of the economy and expectthe rest to survive.”

It’s been 36 years ago that commentwas made and what he said then hascome to pass today. We have squanderedand mismanaged the real wealth of thiscountry by allowing our greeds to take pri-ority over our needs.

Contrary to popular beliefs, food, cloth-ing, shelter, reading, writing, arithmetic,moral values and work ethics - thosethings are necessities; everything else isjust a luxury. And those decisions shouldbe made and come from our locallyelected officials whether or not we can af-ford to bus our kids 200 miles just to playa ball game or not. Not mandated fromsome state or federal bureaucrat.

Mr. Flentje said that Gov. Brownbackwill likely blame President Obama for theincreased taxes. That’s not true; the onesto blame for that are the ones who votedfor him, not only once but twice.

Just some food for thought, There isgoing to be a test coming up - the 2016election. Please consider those five sen-tences when you go to vote.

Someone has said that if Christians really understood the full ex-tent of the power we have available through prayer, we might bespeechless. During WWII there was an adviser to Churchill who or-ganized a group of people who dropped what they were doing everyday at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for thesafety of England, its people and peace. There is now a group of peo-ple organizing the same thing here in America. If you would like toparticipate: Every evening at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time (8:00 p.m. Cen-tral) (7:00 p.m. Mountain) (6:00 p.m. Pacific), stop whatever you aredoing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the UnitedStates and for a return to a Godly nation. If you know anyone elsewho would like to participate, please pass this along. Our prayers arethe most powerful asset we have. Please share this with your prayingfriends.

Kansans with low incomewill have a little extra helppaying their utility bills thissummer, thanks to the LowIncome Energy AssistanceProgram (LIEAP).

“Although we’re enjoying anice comfortable week ofweather, extreme heat islikely just around the cor-ner,” Kansas Department forChildren and Families (DCF)Secretary Phyllis Gilmoresaid. “This extra assistancewill help keep Kansans safefrom dangerous conditions.”

LIEAP provides an annualbenefit to help qualifyinghouseholds pay winter heat-ing bills. Persons with dis-abilities, older adults andfamilies with children are theprimary groups assisted. Inthe winter of 2014, nearly48,000 households receivedan average benefit of $449.

This year, funding is avail-

able to provide an additionalbenefit to those householdsfor energy costs. This is not anew application period.Households that applied andreceived a benefit during theregular application period willautomatically be issued asupplemental benefit of ap-proximately $74, bringing theaverage benefit for the year tomore than $520. The supple-mental funds are in theprocess of being dispersed.

Funding for the Low In-come Energy Assistance Pro-gram is provided by the U.S.Department of Health andHuman Services, Office ofCommunity Service throughthe Federal Low IncomeHome Energy Assistance Pro-gram.

For more information onthe Low Income Energy As-sistance Program, visitwww.dcf.ks.gov/services/ees/Pages/Energy/EnergyAssistance.aspx or call 1-800-432-0043 toll free.��

Low Income Energy AssistanceProgram helps Kansans stay cool

Fibromyalgia is a disordercharacterized by persistent painin muscles, ligaments, tendonsand joints. Additional symptomsof fibromyalgia, or FM, includefatigue, disturbed sleep andheadaches, and these symptoms

may be worsened or triggered bya host of factors, such as anxiety,depression, hormonal changes,cold or drafty environments,and/or stress. Physical overexer-tion is another possible trigger ofFM, which the American MedicalAssociation notes is the secondmost common disorder diag-nosed by rheumatologists. TheNational Center on Health, Phys-ical Activity & Disability notes ahealthy lifestyle including rou-tine exercise, and aerobic exer-cise in particular, helps manypeople with FM more effectivelymanage their symptoms whilepreventing a decline in musclestrength, endurance and cardio-vascular function. Exercise alsoimproves oxygen delivery tomuscles and reduces muscletightness, each of which caneventually relieve some of thepain associated with FM. Therise in muscle temperatures dur-ing aerobic exercise may also al-leviate symptoms of FM, as sucha rise often makes it easier formuscles to relax.

The Power of Play in aHigh-Tech World

Toys and children go to-gether like peanut butter andjelly. But buying toys for chil-dren can be an overwhelmingprocess for parents thesedays because there are somany to choose from. Alongwith traditional toys such asblocks, puzzles and boardgames, there are also high-tech toys including batteryoperated toys, the NintendoDS and the iPad. What kindof toys do young childrenbenefit most from? They cer-tainly enjoy the high-techtoys, but do they really needthem?

Always remember toys arethe tools for learning. Whilechildren can learn someskills through educationaltoys, TV shows and Apps,children learn best throughactive play that allows themto use their whole body to ex-perience and discover theworld around them. Toyswithout batteries or screensallow children to discover, in-

teract, absorb, experience,create, explore and learn in achild-directed, spontaneousmanner.

For every hour childrenspend in front of a screen(iPad, smartphone, TV, DS,etc.) they should spend equaltime engaged in non-screenplay (riding bikes, playingoutside, coloring, playingwith play-dough, readingbooks, etc.). Balance is thekey! Consider this when youare buying toys for yourchild. For every high-tech toyyou purchase, you should se-lect a traditional, battery-freetoy as well.

Don’t ever forget that as aparent, you are your child’sfirst and most important toy!Take time every day to playwith your child, even if it’sjust for a few minutes. Timespent talking, playing andreading with your child ismore beneficial than any toyyou can ever purchase. Chil-dren need more of a parent’spresence than store-boughtpresents!

Sandy Praeger, KansasCommissioner of Insurance,is encouraging consumers tocheck with their health insur-ance companies or employersregarding coverage for smok-ing cessation services and thespecific benefits included intheir policies.

In May 2014 the U.S. De-partment of Labor (DOL) an-nounced health insurancecompanies and employergroup health plans are re-quired to cover tobacco usecounseling and interventions,with no out-of-pocket costsand no prior authorization.

The DOL said it will con-sider an insurance plan to bein compliance with this re-quirement if it covers bothscreening for tobacco useand, for those who use to-bacco products, at least twotobacco cessation attemptsper year.

Each cessation attempt in-cludes four tobacco cessationcounseling sessions of atleast ten minutes each (in-cluding telephone counsel-ing, group counseling andindividual counseling) and allFDA-approved tobacco cessa-tion medications (including

both prescription and over-the-counter medications) fora 90-day treatment regimenwhen prescribed by a healthcare provider.

“We at the Kansas Insur-ance Department encourageall individuals who wish tostop smoking to speak withtheir insurance company oremployer to learn about thespecific smoking cessationbenefits provided under theirpolicy,” said CommissionerPraeger. “Some health plansoffer additional smoking ces-sation services and programsbeyond the DOL require-ments and are anxious toshare that information withtheir members.”

Kansas consumers whohave related insurance ques-tions can call the depart-ment’s Consumer AssistanceHotline at 800-432-2484.

Average retail gasoline pricesin Kansas have fallen 4.6 centsper gallon in the past week, av-eraging $3.50 per gallon Sun-day, according to GasBuddy'sdaily survey of 1,329 gas outletsin Kansas. This compares withthe national average that hasfallen 2.3 cents per gallon in thelast week to $3.65 per gallon,according to gasoline price Website GasBuddy.com.

Including the change in gasprices in Kansas during thepast week, prices Sunday were15.0 cents per gallon higherthan the same day one year agoand are 2.1 cents per gallonhigher than a month ago. Thenational average has decreased0.7 cents per gallon during thelast month and stands 17.5cents per gallon higher thanthis day one year ago.

"The national average has

started a nice downward trend,even as motorists were hittingthe road for July 4," said Gas-Buddy.com Senior PetroleumAnalyst Patrick DeHaan. "Yes,gas prices were some of thehighest July 4 prices we've seensince 2008; they drifted down-ward in many communities asthe holiday approached. Overthe last week, the national av-erage has fallen almost fourcents per gallon - a trend thatcould continue with an absenceof hurricanes or disruptionsfrom Iraq.

By Joseph CarmanFolleh Tamba's "A Grunt's

War Diary" seems to be aunique moment in the historyof art and war. An installa-tion that allows the viewer toexperience the viscera ofcombat via direct documenta-tion - to touch, hear and seeactual elements of war - vi-sual, audio and tangible arti-facts - sculpture, poetry, andphotography - all presentedas a whole that places us in-side the subconscious of acombat veteran, before, dur-ing, and after his repeateddeployments to Iraq andAfghanistan.

Tamba was born in theUnited States, and movedwith his parents to WestAfrica when he was fivemonths old. He obtained hisfirst AK-47 at the age of eight,to protect himself during theLiberian civil war. He soldcigarettes during the day, sothat his family could eat atnight.

The Liberian rebels de-stroyed everything that hisfamily owned, forcing theminto a refugee camp rife withdisease and violence.Tamba's mother found a wayto bring her family back tothe U.S., where he returnedat the age of 18, unable to

speak English at the time.Tamba went on to obtain

separate bachelor's degreesin Justice Studies and Film.

Out of appreciation for hisnewfound country and re-spect for the United StatesMarines who helped his fam-

ily find refuge in Liberia, heenlisted in the Corps in thesummer of 2000. He was de-ployed to the conflicts in Iraqand Afghanistan a total ofseven times between 2003and 2011.

During these deployments,Tamba was permitted by hiscommanding officer to docu-ment his experience with adigital video camera. After hispersonal camera was de-stroyed by an IED blast, hisplatoon sergeant (Staff Ser-geant Edward Corral) pro-vided Tamba with a secondcamera, urging him to con-tinue his work. Tamba re-turned from his finaldeployment in possession ofbetween seven and eight ter-abytes of digital files - video,audio, stills, and a diary filledwith poetry and prose. Utiliz-ing the GI Bill, he obtained aMaster of Fine Arts degree inInterdisciplinary Arts andMedia from Columbia Collegein Chicago, graduating inMay of 2014.

"A Grunt's War Diary" pro-vides an intensive study ofthe mind of a man whose lifeis epitomized by the one wordthat seems to have captivatedand horrified humanity fromits nascent stages - trauma.The installation marks the

end of an era characterizedby darkness and pain inTamba's path, while openingthe door for not only him, butall who experience his work,to search unchartered routesin this existence that point usin the direction of hope.

Tamba has struggled withthe mundane and redundantaspects of our culture sincehis return from war, as haveall of our veterans with simi-lar experiences. He speaks ofa loss of purpose, of alien-ation from normalcy - he re-calls only fragments of his lifeprior to combat - the toll ofmultiple IED blasts havingeroded his ability to processbasic day-to-day information.

"Everything before war be-comes irrelevant," Tambasays, "It's like your old lifehas been wiped away. Thenew memories overpower theold."

"A Grunt's War Diary" is awork with immense emotiveenergy that will educate andcreate true empathy for themen and women who havefought on all sides in all wars.It is not only profound, butalso necessary for this time in

our history. Our culture errswhen it pities or patronizesour veterans of war. Whilethey do require our assis-tance and embrace, they alsopossess valuable informationthat can guide us all throughthe shared struggle of humanconsciousness.

"A Grunt's War Diary"opened to the public July 3,2014, and runs indefinitely atthe 555 Collective Gallery inSt. Francis.

Report suspicious “IRS”correspondence immediately

You filed your tax returnand got your refund, but yourphone’s caller ID says Inter-nal Revenue Service or yougot an e-mail from the IRS.Did you make a mistake onyour taxes or is it a scam?

“If you get an unexpectedphone call or e-mail fromsomeone claiming to be fromthe IRS, you should assumeit’s a scam,” said IRSspokesman Michael Devine.“The IRS will mail a writtennotification of any tax prob-lem, not initiate contact byphone or email.”

According to the IRS, scamcallers are frequently insult-ing or hostile—to scare theirpotential victims. Some de-mand payment on a pre-paiddebit card or by wire transfer.

“If you answer an unex-pected phone call from some-one claiming to be from theIRS, ask for a call back num-ber and an employee badge

number. Then call the IRS at800-829-1040 to see if theIRS is really trying to contactyou,” said Devine.

What if you get an e-mailfrom the IRS instructing youto open an attachment orvisit a web site?

The IRS says if you get a‘phishing’ email:• Don’t reply, open any at-tachments or click on anylinks.• Do forward the email [email protected]. Then deleteit.

“The IRS receives thou-sands of reports every yearfrom taxpayers who receiveemails out-of-the-blue claim-ing to be from the IRS,” saidDevine. “If you open the at-tachment, a virus might in-fect your computer systemand criminals may be able tosteal your personal informa-tion or send more e-mailsusing your account.”

As sons of rural Kansas, weare committed to ensuring chil-dren who grow up in the Sun-flower State receive the sameeducational opportunities asstudents anywhere in America.One of the tools for making cer-tain rural students receive a21st Century education isbroadband Internet access.Broadband can be the greatequalizer; with an Internet con-nection, where you live doesn’tdetermine what informationand resources you can access.

The good news is Congressrecognized the importance of of-fering all students access totechnology when it directed theFederal Communications Com-mission to create the E-Rateprogram nearly 20 years ago.Today, that program distributesmore than $2 billion every yearto help schools and librariesconnect to the Internet, andevery American who has phoneservice contributes to the E-Rate fund through charges onhis or her monthly bill.

The bad news is this federalprogram meant to close the dig-ital divide is actually making itworse for rural schools. A fewcommonsense reforms, includ-ing simplifying the applicationprocess and providing certaintyto schools, could fix that.

Schools in rural areas rou-tinely get less funding-per-stu-dent than those in wealthier,urban areas. For example, E-Rate distributes to students inWashington, D.C., roughlythree times the amount thatKansas students receive - eventhough our nation’s capital hasa much larger tax base andbroadband is cheaper to deploythere than in rural Kansas. In-deed, small Kansas towns fromColby to Coffeyville, and Elkhartto Seneca, tend to get lessmoney than large school dis-tricts with more resources.These disparities undermine E-Rate’s core mission of givingrural schools the same techno-logical tools as their urban andsuburban counterparts.

One reason for this unfairdistribution of funding is thecomplex E-Rate applicationprocess. To apply for E-Ratefunds, schools must complete aseven-step process with six ap-plication forms spanning 17pages - just for basic service. Ifa school wants to invest in atechnology the federal govern-ment does not consider a prior-ity, additional paperwork isrequired. Moreover, schools arerequired to sign service con-tracts months before the schoolyear begins, and possibly yearsbefore the school knows if E-Rate funding will even be avail-able to offset the cost of thoseservices.

All of this means it is expen-sive and burdensome to apply,forcing some schools to divertmoney away from the classroomin order to hire consultants tohelp them navigate the process.

Other schools just give up en-tirely because they just don’thave the budget to hire consult-ants, accountants or lawyers.And even those who hire helpcan still make mistakes.

In all, administrative delaysand missteps result in E-Ratecollecting about $400 millionmore from American consumerseach year than it spends -money that sits in a bank ac-count instead of going to helpout schools in need.

On top of the complicatedapplication process, E-Ratedoesn’t give schools a budget.That means urban schools atthe front of the line often get asmuch money as they want whilemany rural schools at the backof the line must make do withwhat is left. The result is someschools using E-Rate to subsi-dize Blackberries for adminis-trators while other schools can’teven get funding for classroomWi-Fi. That’s not right.

To fulfill E-Rate’s promise toall of our students, we must cutthe bureaucracy and refocusthe program on our children’sneeds. We must create a stu-dent-centered E-Rate program.

Let’s start by streamliningthe process and cutting the ini-tial application down to onepage. All schools should be ableto apply on their own withouthiring a consultant. And, let’sspeed up the funding process.Schools need certainty that E-Rate funding will be there before- not after - they sign servicecontracts. They shouldn’t haveto wait months for paperwork towend its way through a largebureaucracy.

Next, let’s fix the inequities indistributing E-Rate funds. If weallocate E-Rate’s budget on aper-student basis across everyschool in America on day one,then every school board, everyteacher, and every parent willknow just how much money isavailable. If the money followsthe student - with higheramounts for schools in rural orlow-income areas - we can bet-ter give schools the resourcesthey need to connect the class-room. Indeed, a per-studentfunding model would encourageall schools to be fiscally respon-sible while giving a fundingboost to the rural schools thatneed it most.

Helping our students pre-pare for the digital economy isnecessary in order for Americato compete in the 21st Century;to do that, we need real reformof E-Rate. With a student-cen-tered E-Rate program that issimple and certain, we can giveall Americans - including thosein rural areas - the chance tocompete with the rest of theworld for next-generation jobs.It’s time for kids in ruralKansas, too, to share in thebounty of broadband.

From the office of SenatorJerry Moran.

Poultry Testing for theStevens County Fair

According to the 2014County Fair Livestock HealthRequirements published by theKansas Department of Agricul-ture, all poultry (except forwater fowl) are required to havea negative pullorum test within90 days of the county fair. Pul-lorum testing and banding willbe offered Thursday, July 10,from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. andSunday, July 13, from 2:00to 6:00 p.m. at the fair-grounds in the arena buildingfor any poultry that will be ex-hibited at the County Fair.Logan Brecheisen will be offer-ing these services as part of a4-H community service project.Testing will be free, but he asksthat each person bring onecanned food item per bird.These food items will later bedonated to Project Hope. Checking for a Healthy Root

System in a Potted Plant What a foundation is to a

house, so a root system is to aplant. Yet the root system isoften overlooked even when itis easy to check as with pottedplants. So how do you checkthe root system of a pottedplant? The first step is to knockthe plant out of the pot. Placeyour hand over the top of thepot with the stem of the plantpassing between two of yourfingers. Turn the pot upsidedown and tap the edge of thepot against the edge of a table,counter or other hard surface.The plant should release andcome out. A healthy root sys-tem will typically have whiteroots or at least roots withwhite tips. The roots should bevisible along the outside of therootball and should reach thebottom of the pot. Unhealthyroots will be blackened andmay have a slimy appearanceand foul smell. Also, an un-healthy root system often doesnot reach the bottom of thepot. By far the most commoncause of an unhealthy rootsystem is overwatering. Waterby touch, not by calendar. Ifthe soil is dry an inch deep, itis time to water. An alternative

method is to water by weight, ifpractical. Lift the pot after agood, deep watering to deter-mine the weight of the well-wa-tered plant. Then use the “dryan inch deep” method to deter-mine when it is time to water.Check the weight of the plantat that time. This will give youan idea of the difference be-tween a well-watered plant andone that is ready for more

water. The time between water-ings will vary tremendously be-tween summer with its longdays and active plant growthand winter with cooler days,shorter days and little to nogrowth. Be sure to add enoughso that some water flows outthe bottom of the pot. This willhelp wash out excess salts thattend to accumulate within thepotting soil.

USDA Reminds Producersof 2014 Acreage Reporting

RequirementU.S. Department of Agri-

culture (USDA) Kansas FarmService Agency (FSA) StateExecutive Director Adrian J.Polansky reminds agricultureproducers July 15, 2014 isthe deadline to file an acreagereport for spring seededcrops. Planted acres must bereported to FSA by July 15,2014. The Agricultural Act of2014 (2014 Farm Bill) re-quires producers on a farm tosubmit annual acreage re-ports on all cropland.

“Although some federalfarm program enrollmentshave not yet started, timelyacreage reports for all cropsand land uses, including pre-vented and failed acreagethat producers submit totheir local FSA office, are im-portant to ensure program el-igibility,” said Polansky.

Acreage reports to FSA areconsidered timely filed whencompleted by the applicablefinal crop reporting deadline,which may vary from state tostate. Producers who do notenroll by the July 15 deadlineare subject to late-filing re-quirements. Producersshould contact their local of-fice for an appointment toprovide an accurate acreage

report of their spring-seededcrops.

COPYCATSHe who first shortened the laborof copyists by device of movabletypes was disbanding hiredarmies, and cashiering mostkings and senates, and creatinga whole new democratic world:he had invented the art of print-ing. (Thomas Carlyle, Sartor Re-sartus, 1833)

As many can attest to, theterm “copycat” is someone whois imitating, or copying the ac-tions of another. It is not an en-dearing name to be called, but itmade me wonder: Does the term“copycat” come from the timebefore the printing press?”

In my research I found theword “incunabulum”, a Latinword that means “cradle” or“birthplace” and refers to theprinting industry prior to theyear 1501.

Johann Gutenberg, c. 1397-1468, is credited with the inven-tion of the first immovable typeprinting press. Prior to Guten-berg’s invention, books, bibles,encyclopedias, etc., were allmeticulously printed by hand, atime consuming, stressful occu-pation, for sure.

On one site, it was said it took350 years to develop the move-able type press. It would take me350 years to hand copy onebook and even though these

copyists were not called copy-cats, it just seems to be a fittingtitle to me!

Two years after the settle-ment of Hugoton, in 1885, thefirst Hugoton newspaper wasprinted. In 1945 Wendell andMarguarite Hubbard would takeover ownership of the Hermesuntil 1964. By this time, printinghad advanced to include print-ing presses such as the “Chan-dler Platen Press” circa 1930s,the “Chief”, and the “MeihleNewspaper Press” circa 1956.

Back in the 1980s, peoplewho worked in print shops werecalled typesetters, proofers,strippers and pressmen. I don’tknow about you, but I prefer“copycat” over “pressman”.

The present “copycats” areRuthie Winget, Kay McDanielsand RoGlenda Coulter.

Come by the museum andsee the old printers, folders,typesetters and proofers thatwere a part of the history of TheHugoton Hermes.

We are located at 905 S.Adams in Hugoton. We open at10:00 a.m. and close at 5:00p.m. Monday through Fridayand 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Satur-days. We are closed for lunchfrom noon to 1:00 p.m. Thurs-days only.

MUSEUM UPDATEfrom The Stevens County Gas & Historical Museum

Gladys Renfro, Beulah Carter, Linda McCrary, and Billy Woodworth

This Meihle newspaper printing press was one of the betterpresses for weekly newspapers. The press was purchased in 1956by Wendell Hubbard. It was a “2-cycle” or “revolution” pressand could print up to 1500 sheets an hour. If all went well, thetypical press run for the Hermes in the early 1960s was aboutan hour. Each run could hold up to four forms or pages. A 12-page edition would require three press runs. Folding of eachsheet was done on another machine, not displayed at the Mu-seum. Today, the paper is fed from a continuous roll flowingthrough a series of offset plates on rollers and coming out foldedand ready for distribution.

Teaching 35 high school stu-dents about electric coopera-tives, as well as helping todevelop their leadership skills,was an important objective ofthe fifty-fourth annual YouthTour to Washington, D.C., June12-19.

Pioneer Electric Cooperativesponsored two delegates, Cole-man Kirby and Katie Murray,both of Rolla. They were selectedto attend this trip through anapplication process. Their appli-cations placed in the top 20which granted them an inter-view. They were also required totake a short test featuring ques-tions about electric cooperatives.At each step the delegatesearned points and whoever fin-ished with the most points waschosen for the trip.

The trip, sponsored byKansas Electric Cooperatives(KEC), began in Topeka withseveral guest speakers at thekick-off banquet. KEC’s BruceGraham led the event and intro-duced Brant Laue, Chief Coun-sel for Governor SamBrownback, who attendedyouth tour in 1978; StevenJohnson, Kansas House of Rep-resentatives District 108, whoattended in 1983; Kyle Hoffman,Kansas House of Representa-tives District 116, who attendedin 1989; and Travis Couture-Lovelady, Kansas House of Rep-resentatives District 110, whoattended in 2000.

Before leaving Kansas, thestudents visited Kaw ValleyElectric where they learned howelectric cooperatives work androde in a bucket truck. They alsotoured the Kansas State Capitol.

Once in Washington, D.C.,the group visited with SenatorsJerry Moran and Pat Roberts,and Congressman Tim Huel-skamp, allowing the students tolearn about the nation’s govern-ment and talk with their electedofficials. For many students,meeting their representativeswas an inspriation and moti-vated them to set leadershipgoals.

“Something that really in-spired me on this trip was beingable to talk to some of the Sena-tors and Representatives; it

helped us realize they are realpeople and not everyone in thegovernment is the same,” saidKriby.

Despite flight delays and can-cellations upon departure, theyouth were still able to tour theHolocaust Memorial Museum,the Smithsonian museums, Mt.Vernon, Arlington NationalCemetery, several memorials,along with seeing the Broadwaymusical Disney’s The Lion Kingat the Kennedy Center. The del-egates also attended the Na-tional Rural Electric CooperativeAssociation (NRECA) Youth Day,which celebrated the fiftieth an-niversary of NRECA coordinat-ing the Youth Tour trip.

For many of the delegatesthis was their first time seeingthe memorials and the historyWashington D.C. had to offer,and their reactions were motiva-tional.

“As we walked into the Lin-coln Memorial I was in completeawe. As I read those significantwords on the walls one phrasestood out: ‘this nation underGod.’ It had a humbling impactand as I exited the memorial, Iseemed to have gained a newperspective,” Murray said.

This year’s trip was chaper-oned by Wheatland Electric Co-operative’s Shawn Powelson andhis wife, Lisa. “KEC promotesthis trip as the trip of a lifetime,and that certainly isn’t an exag-geration by any means,” Powel-son said. “Despite a challengingstart to the trip, the overall expe-rience is one I will not soon for-get. Kansas and its electricco-ops were represented well. Ican’t imagine a better invest-ment than in these young peo-ple, the future leaders of Kansasand our country.”
