A meeting was called byStevens County HospitalTuesday, July 15 at 7:00a.m. to discuss proposals forannual well woman services.Present at the meeting wereHospital AdministratorLinda Stalcup, Clinic Direc-tor Stacy Helget, Heath De-partment Administrator andCounty Health Officer PaulaRowden, Hospital BoardMembers Warren Willis, Mil-ton Gillespie, Kirk Heger andPatty Lahey, County Com-missioners Dave Bozone andJim Bell and Hermes re-porter Wilma Bartel.

Stevens County is lookingfor ways to provide proactivehealth services for women,including those who areuninsured or under-in-sured.

Stacy Helget reported theresults of a survey she haddone of area county healthdepartments, what servicesthey provide and how thoseagencies are compensatedfor services.

After some discussion ofthe results, a question wasposed regarding CountyHealth contracting with anurse practitioner separatefrom the one at the Clinic.Could both agencies worktogether and utilize thesame nurse practitioner?General consensus was thetwo agencies needed to coor-dinate efforts.

“The Stevens CountyHospital and MedicalClinic...We want to providecare to everyone,” said War-ren Willis, chairman of thehospital board. “Maybe be-cause we charge an officevisit, there is a portion ofresidents that are under-served through our meth-ods. I think Paula is trying tomake sure that that sector ofour residents has the oppor-tunity and the care that theyneed. I just want to seesomehow both entities worktogether to solve the needs ofthe health care for StevensCounty residents so that we

can do it the most efficientway, cost effective way andmost beneficial to the resi-dents.”

County CommissionerDave Bozone addressed thefinancial impact. “First off,we want to make sure thatthe people are taken care of.Secondly, finances are veryimportant to us. We hadbudget meetings yesterdayand they weren’t very pleas-ant at all. Our auditors toldus we needed to make somemajor cuts. We did. We cutevery budget. Last year’sbudget is cut 10%. You get90% of the money that yougot last year. And someother cuts besides that.”

After lengthy discussion,Warren Willis requestedLinda Stalcup draw up aproposal to provide contractservices to County Healthand send it to Paula Row-den. Linda suggested thatshe and Paula work on it to-gether.

The meeting adjourned.

Larry and Myra Martincame across two interestingindividuals recently: Michaeland Julie Pearson, who aremaking their way across theUnited States, walking 3000miles to support the homeless.Michael and Julie were ontheir way through southwestKansas in late June. The cou-ple has worn out several pairof tennis shoes during theirtrek, and, as of press time,they are already making theirway through McPherson. Youcan follow along as theyspread awareness and God’slove throughout America bysearching “Walk 3000 Miles inTheir Shoes” on Facebook.com. Their ultimate goal is toshare the love of God with thehomeless and to raise enoughmoney to build a ranch wherehomeless people can live, workand worship.

Michael and Julie arenearly halfway through theirjourney, but they still have along, hard road ahead of them.Reading their posts on Face-book, you will be reminded ofthe goodness of small-townresidents. Many southwestKansans refused money forgoods Michael and Julieneeded, offered their housesfor them to stay in, and gavefood, drinks, encouragementand prayers when they met thecouple.

While living on the roadmight sound tempting attimes, Michael detailed a few ofthe struggles in a post Satur-day, June 28. “While I haveenjoyed much of our trip it hasnot been as easy as it sounds .. . We step out on to the shoul-der of the open road - if thereis a shoulder - and walk 15 to20 miles hoping that thetruckers have had their morn-ing coffee and remember whatside of the line they belong on.As the cars whip by at 75 mph,we pray that the driver doesnot answer the text he wasreading and just waves so weknow he sees we are there.

Meanwhile we check theground for snakes and otherthings that might come outafter us.”

If you would like to donateto Michael and Julie’s mission,you can do so with PayPal bytransferring money [email protected], at GoFundMe.comand searching “Walk 3000

Miles in Their Shoes”, or mail-ing a check to Michael or JuliePearson, 7 Fortuna Road,Santa Fe, N.M. 87508. Checksmay be made payable toMichael or Julie Pearson.

Michael and Julie Pearson plan to walk 3000 miles

Annually, the KHP is chargedwith ensuring school busesare in proper working orderbefore being put on the road

This month and next, asparents are purchasing theirkids’ school supplies, teach-ers are prepping their class-rooms, and students arelooking forward to seeingtheir friends again, theKansas Highway Patrol willbe working to ensure thesestudents are kept safe duringtheir travels to and fromschool. Every July and Au-gust, KHP troopers, in con-junction with school districtsacross the state, check allschool buses to ensure theyare all in good working order.

Troopers will check thebuses from the middle of Julyuntil the beginning of theschool session to make surethe vehicles will load, trans-port and unload studentssafely. Buses and other vehi-cles throughout the state are

also inspected for compliancewith safety regulations. A fewof the things troopers will bechecking are the lights, emer-gency exits, tires, windshieldwipers, fire extinguishers,first aid kits and emergencyspill kits.

“Our children are our fu-ture. We owe it to the familymembers, and their childrenalike, to make sure these kidsarrive to and from their des-tinations safely,” said Lieu-tenant Joshua Kellerman,KHP public information offi-cer. “By partnering with theseschool districts acrossKansas, we can assure thatwe are taking the propersteps to keep our childrensafe.”

Thousands of school vehi-cles’ equipment and mechan-ical conditions will bechecked as troopers visiteach school district. The in-spection stickers have beenupdated this year, as was ajoint effort between theKansas Highway Patrol andthe Kansas State Departmentof Education. For any bus orschool vehicle passing in-spection from June 1, 2014through May 31, 2015, a bluesticker will be displayed inthe lower driver’s side cornerof the windshield. Vehiclesthat do not comply withsafety regulations cannot beused to transport studentsuntil all defects are correctedand a trooper rechecks thevehicle.

In 2013, the KHP in-spected 11,215 buses andother school vehicles for de-fects. Over the last ten years,the Patrol has inspected95,237 school vehicles thattransport students.

Kansas farmers who cur-rently use organic productionpractices or would like topursue organic certificationare encouraged to apply forcost share funds from theKansas Department of Agri-culture (KDA).

The program, funded bythe 2014 Farm Bill, is admin-istered though the USDAAgricultural Marketing Serv-ice (AMS). The program is in-tended to assist Kansasfarmers by offsetting costsassociated with organic certi-fication or recertification.Under the state’s agreementwith USDA, they are eligiblefor up to 75 percent of thecost of their organic certifica-tion, up to $750, for certifica-tion occurring betweenOctober 1, 2013 to Septem-ber 30, 2014, as long asfunds remain.

“This is a great opportu-nity for farmers to achievethis certification at a reducedcost,” said Annarose Hart,marketing specialist with theKansas Department of Agri-culture.

To receive cost sharefunds, Kansas organic farm-ers and handlers must com-plete the OrganicCertification Cost Share Pro-gram Application, and submitit along with a copy of the or-ganic certification document,an invoice showing theamount paid for that certifi-cation and a W-9 form.

KDA was allocated nearly$73,000 in funds for the costshare program for farms cer-tified between October 1,2013 to September 30, 2014.

Upon receipt of cost sharedocuments, KDA will confirmcertification and then providereimbursement. Based on thereceipt of the completed ap-plication packet by KDA, re-imbursements will be on afirst-come, first-served basisuntil the limited programfunds are exhausted.

The program application isposted on the KDA Web site,Organic Cost Share Program.The site is also a great re-source for program updates.Questions about cost-sharefunds for organic certificationmay be directed to Josh Roe

at 785-564-6707 or AnnaroseHart at 785-564-6755 or byemail [email protected].

Information is also avail-able from the National Or-ganic Program Web site atwww.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/nop.

“It’s a Mystery”One of my favorite televi-

sion programs to watch starsMark Harmon, who playsJethro Gibbs on “NCIS”. Oneof the little idiosyncrasiesSpecial Agent Gibbs has isthat he is continually work-ing on a boat in his base-ment. DIFFERENT boats! Theother characters cannotfigure out how he gets thoseboats out of his house, andhe won’t let them in on thesecret.

Well, the museum has asimilar situation with the

“Baby Ace" single engine Cor-ben Sport Plane! (Say that fivetimes fast.) We have beenasked how we got an airplaneinto the museum.

The “Baby Ace” airplanewas loaned to the museum in1991 by Jeanine Powelson’sfather, Dick Hanlin, whosewife was “Bitsy” Hanlin ofHugtoton. Mr. Hanlin said heacquired the plane in 1932.

It was a ‘kit’ plane, whichMr. Hanlin said to his knowl-edge was never flown. Thewings were built for anotherplane in 1929 or 1930 and

the fuselage was constructedbefore that. When this singleengine “Baby Ace” was finallyconstructed, it was done withthe help of magazine instruc-tions, and completely coveredwith unbleached muslin be-fore being painted yellow. Mr.Hanlin’s “Baby Ace” weighs inthe neighborhood of 600 lbs.

The “Baby Ace” was amongthe first aircraft offered in kitform in the world. The planswere first offered in 1929 andare still available in someplaces today. The designer,Orland Corben, designed anumber of aircraft, includingthe Junior Ace, Prober JuniorAce, and the Super Ace. To-gether with the Baby Ace,these aircraft are commonlyknown as Corben Baby Aces.Corben began manufacturingairplanes in 1923, but wentout of business 16 years laterin 1939.

So how did we get thatCorben Baby Ace into themuseum and hung from theceiling? I don’t know…go askGibbs.

We are located at 905 S.Adams in Hugoton. We openat 10:00 a.m. and close at5:00 p.m. Monday throughFriday and 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.Saturdays. We are closed forlunch from noon to 1:00 p.m.

History From The HermesCompiled by Ruthie Winget

ONE OF THE FIRST Hugoton city bands ispictured above, standing in front of the oldcourthouse. The photograph came from thecollection of Bob Smith, and was taken about1902, he believed. Shown leaning against theporch are, left to right, R.M. Crawford, G.C.Kimsey, W.J. Blackburn and A.W. Lamkin.

July 10, the House of Rep-resentatives passed its an-nual Energy and Waterappropriations bill by a voteof 253 to 170 with Congress-man Huelskamp’s support.The bill included a provisionCongressman Huelskamp re-quested to stop attempts bythe EPA and Corps of Engi-neers to re-write the CleanWater Act. It was a responseto the EPA and the ArmyCorps of Engineers proposalof a radical expansion of theterms ‘navigable waters’ and‘waters of the United States’earlier this spring. Represen-tative Huelskamp issued thefollowing Statement:

“This attempt at a massiveregulatory expansion - by theObama Administration intandem with its environmen-talist allies - is an extremethreat, particularly to Amer-ica’s farmers and ranchers.This Washington power grabwould subject nearly all wa-ters in the U.S. to EPA con-trol, including those in roadditches, farm ponds, prairiepotholes, swimming pools,water tanks and rain puddlesin Kansas and elsewhere.Last night’s passage showsthe importance my colleaguesand I see in protecting the pri-vate property rights of farm-ers and ranchers. By usingour constitutional authoritythrough this power of thepurse, we can rein in out-of-control bureaucrats inObama’s EPA and any otherfederal agency.”

The day before the vote,Representative Huelskampsaid from the floor, “Only inWashington would bureau-crats try to define standingwater in a ditch surroundedby prairie land (like the onepictured below) as water ca-pable of navigation. It’s timefor the Administration toDitch the Rule, and until thenthis Congress should notallow the Administration tospend one penny to advanceit.”

In related news, KansasAttorney General DerekSchmidt last Friday pledgedopposition to expanded regu-lation of farm and ranch wa-terways.

Schmidt said he is working

with several agencies in stategovernment to ensure thatcomments are submitted tothe Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA) pointing outproblems with the proposednew definition of “waters ofthe United States”. The EPA,along with the Army Corps ofEngineers and Department ofDefense, proposed the newregulatory definition in April,and many Kansans are con-cerned the broader definitionwill result in further regula-tion of small waterways,ditches and ponds on Kansasfarms and ranches.

“We are taking strongsteps to inform the federalgovernment of the ill-advisednature of these new regula-tions,” Schmidt said. “I’mhopeful the many commentsfrom states, farmers andranchers, and other affectedbusinesses and organizationswill cause the federal govern-ment to withdraw this newproposal and reconsider itsactions. We don’t need a fed-eral regulator in every acre ofevery field and pasture.”

Last week, the KansasAgricultural Alliance, an um-brella organization of severalfarm and ranch organizationsin the state, sent a letter toSchmidt and to GovernorSam Brownback asking themto oppose the new proposedregulations. In a responsesent today, Schmidt pledgedhis opposition.

“I am strongly opposed tothe Environmental ProtectionAgency’s efforts to extend itsregulatory reach to virtuallyevery aspect of property own-ership and agricultural pro-duction through its attemptto redefine ‘Waters of the U.S.’that are subject to federal reg-ulation,” Schmidt wrote. “Thisfederal power grab is unnec-essary, unwise and, in myview, unsupported by thestatute Congress enacted. Itneeds to be stopped.”

The period for public com-ments to be submitted on theproposed new definition of“waters of the United States”has been extended until Octo-ber 20, 2014. Commentsmust be identified by DocketID No. EPA-HQ-OW-2011-0880 and submitted by one ofthe following methods:• Federal eRulemaking Por-tal: http://www.regulations.gov/. Follow the instructionsfor submitting comments.• Email: [email protected].

“Meredith with hercollege roommate, MadelineSanderson of Amarillo, placedsecond in [duets, trios and quar-tets]. They placed third in [vocalinstrumental ensemble], alongwith Daniel Allen of Missis-sippi. All were awarded medalsbut no scholarships wereawarded for second and thirdplaces.

“Steffan Light, Meredith'sbrother, was the producer of theawards ceremony. Five competi-tors were incorporated intothe program to perform their tal-ents. Meredith, being the femalevocal solo winner, was asked tosing. Meredith, who was accom-

panied on the guitar by Made-line, was on stage at the PeabodyTheater singing to a full house.

“Steffan and Tara Light co-hosted the awards ceremony.The ceremony is based on tradi-tional awards programs.
