The City of Hugoton is receiving $250,000. The Moderate-Income Housing (MIH) Program, an initia- tive funded by the State of Kansas and administered by Kansas Housing Re- sources Corporation (KHRC), works to help cities and counties de- velop multi-family rental units, single-family for- purchase homes, and water, sewer and street extensions in communi- ties with populations fewer than 60,000 people. MIH funding can also be used to finance construc- tion costs, rehabilitate un- safe or dilapidated housing, and offer down- payment and closing-cost assistance to homebuyers. "Now in its second year, the Moderate - Income Housing Program offers an important resource for rural cities and towns un- dertaking housing initia- tives," said Dennis L. Mesa, Executive Director of KHRC. "When we sup- port activities that revital- ize communities, we raise the standard of living for all families who live there," said Mesa. The need for moderate- income, workforce hous- ing throughout Kansas is growing. Currently, there are 97 counties and over 600 communities eligible to apply for MIH funding. These communities com- prise approximately 68 percent of the state's total population. Numerous municipalities statewide are experiencing opportu- nities for economic devel- opment and job growth, but the lack of adequate, affordable housing is pos- ing roadblocks to new ex- pansion.

SHARE A SOCIAL SECURITY TIP WITHYOUR WISE ELDERS

While the baby boom erais behind us, the effects willlive on. The number of peo-ple reaching the autumnseason of life is higher thanever. In fact, the WorldHealth Organization reportsthat there are around sixhundred million people aged60 and older living in theworld today. That number isexpected to double by 2025 -a short 12 years from now -and is expected to reachabout two billion by 2050. In the United States,10,000 people reach retire-ment age every single day. The elders of a commu-nity are often known as wisesages whom younger peoplego to for advice; older peoplehave the life experience andreflection younger peoplelack. But given the fast-paced changes the worldnow experiences, with newtechnologies becoming out-dated in a matter of years oreven months, there may besome helpful insights youcan share with your elders. For example, if you knowsomeone who is nearing re-tirement age, tell them aboutwww.socialsecuri ty .gov.They may not be aware ofthe helpful and easy-to-usetools available to them. It’sno exaggeration to say evensomeone who does not usethe Internet on a regularbasis can easily plan theirretirement or even completetheir retirement applicationonline in a matter of minutes- much less time than itwould take to drive to a localSocial Security office. The best starting place foranyone thinking about re-tirement is Social Security’sRetirement Estimator. Use itto get an instant, personal-ized estimate of future re-tirement benefits in a matterof minutes. Spend a few

more minutes plugging indifferent information, suchas different projected futurewages and different retire-ment dates, to help make awise decision on the best re-tirement date. The Retire-ment Estimator is availableat www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator. Then there’s the online re-tirement benefit application.In as little as 15 minutes, aperson can apply for SocialSecurity benefits and submittheir application online. Inmost cases, once one sub-mits the application, there isnothing more to do but waitfor the first payment. It’s re-ally that simple. And, if one

decides they’d like to double-check some information be-fore submitting theapplication, that’s fine too.The application can bepaused and then restartedat any time during theprocess. It’s all available atwww.socialsecurity. gov/applyonline. It makes sense to go toour elders for advice andguidance. But in this tech-nology-driven world, we maybe able to offer a little adviceto the sages as well. A goodbet is to tell the older adultsin your life about www.socialsecurity.gov.

Tony McBride said he waswaiting on someone so TonyMartin went ahead of him.Tony said he checked onfencing around the ponds.The prices were high. BobJohnson suggested askingthe local FFA or 4-H if theywould be interested in theproject. The idea of thecounty employees building itwas also discussed. Tonysaid he expects lots of callswhen the fencing projectstarts. Tony went on to talkabout road projects. He alsotalked about bridge inspec-tions for 2014. Tony told thecommissioners of somechanges in the shop person-nel and giving another indi-vidual more responsibilities.The commissioners dis-

cussed some issues with thegas company finding theright-of-way out near theManor so lines to the lots canbe laid. The markers wereburied deep so farming couldcontinue earlier. It was dis-cussed who to get to find themarkers and get the linesmarked. Tony said there hasbeen a request for a 40 mileper hour speed limit on astretch of road. The requestwas discussed and respect-fully declined. Bob broughtup the subject of convertingthe asphalt plant from dieselto natural gas. This is sup-posed to save a large amountof money.

Tony McBride and a repre-sentative from Davis Electricthen took the floor. Tony pre-sented some more issues/re-visions for the HealthDepartment/Therapy Depart-ment/EMS project. These is-

sues need quite a little bit ofmoney to correct or fix. Thecommissioners really balkedat this news. Some changesinclude electrical issues atthe EMS Building and somerevisions at the Health De-partment among otherthings. Dave asked if this wasmissed when the bid wasturned in. The Davis rep ex-plained all the technical is-sues were unknown at thetime the bid was made. Aftervery much discussion, it wasdecided there was not muchchoice but to accept the in-crease. Motion was made toaccept the change ordersfrom Tony. Motion passedwith two votes to accept andone against.

Ted Heaton came in to re-port for his department. Hehad nothing new to report.

Pat LeClerc came in to dis-cuss the changes in rules andregulations in the countyhealth insurance. Shebrought in a very large bookfor Pam to keep on record ofchanges created since Oba-macare is coming in. Shegave short condensed copiesof the changes to be copiedand handed out to employ-ees.

Roger Lynch stopped in totalk about trailer homes inthe county and other zoningissues.

Next on the agenda wasChris Lund to talk about hisproject of City on a Hill. Hewas requesting some mone-tary funding from the county.He apologized for not gettingto the commissioners beforethe budget hearing. He was

joined by Patty Bultman andPatty Lahey to add their goodopinions of the project. Theysaid they use the services theproject offers. The project wasstarted in 2008. When asked,Mr. Lund said yes they do re-ceive state funding also. Thecommissioners said they willlook into it.

Neal Gillespie stopped into talk about KDOT proposalsfor the highway in front ofKDI. They want help in thecost. The commissioners saidit is KDOT’s highway. If thecounty does help they expectsome of their requests to bemet. Neal said he couldmaybe get some of the repre-sentatives to meet with thecommissioners. Neal alsotalked about possible hous-ing projects and possible lo-cations. There is a companyinterested in building someduplexes for seniors. They arelooking for lots to build pos-sibly six to twelve units. The

commissioners said the newadditions do not allow du-plexes. He then also talkedabout the housing incentivesand the rules and regulationsregarding them.

million. Gillespie said he is inthe process of completing theKDOT / Economic Develop-ment grant. He will presentthe information to the countycommissioners and ask ifthey can provide any kind ofmatching funds. He thinksthe project could be done bythe end of next summer.

Gillespie said the wordingof the Neighborhood Revital-ization Plan requires applica-tion for funds be submitted tothe county appraiser beforeconstruction can begin. Hesaid he had spoken to an-other county that allows forfiling after the start of con-struction and will ask theStevens County commission-ers if the plan can be rewrit-ten to allow for late filing withstipulations.

Gillespie said he wouldalso be going to speak to thecounty commissioners attheir next meeting about theRural Housing Incentive Dis-trict (RHID). RHID allows forsome property taxes to beused for development of in-frastructure. He said theyneed to identify areas thatcan be helped by RHID.

Kansas Dairy Ingredients(KDI) is going for IndustrialRevenue Bonds (IRBs) whichcome with tax abatements.They are trying to arrange ameeting for November to havethe cost-benefit analysis andare asking for the countycommissioners to approveIRBs for KDI to they can gettax abatements for the nextten years.

Gillespie gave an updatefor Rural Opportunity Zones,a program designed to bringnew people to rural commu-nities by offering financial in-centives to new full-timeresidents. He said there hasbeen a lot of interest in theprogram. Much of the appli-cation process is done onlineand is user friendly. One hasalready been approved.

Gillespie announced thathe had requested a jointmeeting in executive sessionwith the chamber board andthe county commissioners todiscuss personnel issues.

Gillespie asked for sugges-tions for the longest tail-feather contest this year. The

Kansas Department ofWildlife, Parks and Tourismhas said the population ofpheasants in Kansas is downand hunting is worse thisyear than last. It was decidedthe contest would be sus-pended this year and wait forthe population to replenish.

In old business Neal saidAbengoa is supposed to fireup the generator by the endof the month.

There is no new informa-tion on the hotel to be builton the east side of Hugoton.

As of Tuesday, Neal saidthe announcement about theModerate Income Housinggrant was to be made at theend of the week. (The KansasHousing Authority released astatement Friday, October11, saying Hugoton was oneof ten Kansas communities toshare $2.1 million in funding.See related story on page 1.)

A question was raisedabout whose responsibility itwas to look at long-term in-frastructure needs and plans,such as sewer and roads, tobe proactive rather than reac-tive in dealing with growth inthe community. It was sug-gested members of the com-missioners, city council andother community leadershipto come together for a visionsession. Gillespie will coordi-nate with the others to deter-mine a date for the meeting.

The meeting adjourned.

If you held up your hand to demonstrate theshape of Michigan, the village of Caro would belocated in the thumb. This is how Donna(Chamness) Little described how to find whereshe was born in 1926. Her daddy was from In-diana so she spent her childhood in both states.Her family lived in the country where she, hersix siblings, and her cousins “just ran wild”. Ofcourse that was a long time ago when life wasmuch different than it is today. Everyone kneweveryone else and no one was afraid. She doesn’tremember exactly what they did, but she knowsthey had fun.

Donna said she was a very strange child be-cause she really liked school, and her aspirationwas to be a school teacher. She graduated fromhigh school in 1944 and, because World War IIwas still going on, the school counselor talkedher into enrolling in the U. S. Cadet NurseCorps. Donna was in the nursing program inDetroit when the war ended so she didn’t quitecomplete the training.

Her older brother was living in Kansas andasked Donna to come out to help a relative ofhis wife who had just had surgery. That’s howDonna ended up in Richfield. After helping thislady for two months, Donna was able to realizeher dream of being a teacher and taught schoolin Richfield for one year. She taught four gradesin a two-room country school. The studentsweren’t perfect angels but she really enjoyed herteaching experience there.

It was during this time that she met a “realnice fellow” named Albert “Pat” Little at ahayride. Her brother took her to the hayride andtold her she had to find her own way home. Patwas the one who volunteered to take her home.

Donna and Pat married in 1946, then lived

in Rolla the rest of their lives. Pat farmed, wasthe custodian at the school, and later on workedfor the road department. They raised six daugh-ters and one son: Sandra, Vivian, Amy, Mary,Barbara, Robert and Leslie.

Donna has fond memories of watching hermother and other ladies sew clothes for theneedy during the Depression. When she got oldenough, she learned to sew and this was a skillshe used when she had her daughters. Sheloved making clothes and stated, “I made every-thing from flannel diapers to wedding dresses!”She said if she picked up a needle and threadnow, she wouldn’t know what to do.

Old age crept up on Donna before she real-ized it and she doesn’t remember things like sheused to. She accepts things as they comethough and smiles. She said the best part of liv-ing at the Pioneer Manor is not having to cleanhouse or do dishes.

Donna Little was born in Michigan and movedto Kansas after World War II.

Against Comanche,the Coyotes started the nightoff with the ball and moved innicely down the field all theway to the Hugoton 25 beforea bad snap over the quarter-back’s head led to a fumblerecovery by the Eagles. TheEagles took over on their own37 and promptly put togethera five-play 63-yard drive to goup 6-0 on the evening. TheEagles then got the ball backon a short field at the DC 20.Hugoton failed to score andwent four and out, giving theball back to the ‘Yotes at theirown 20. Comanche marcheddown to the Hugoton 35where they went four andout. On the next possessionHugoton went on a very solideight play 65-yard drivecapped off by a Leiningereight-yard touchdown run tomake the halftime score 14-0after the two-point conver-sion.

Hugoton started out withthe ball in the second half ontheir own 31, but after threeplays fumbled the football,giving it back to DC. The Ea-gles then made a nice defen-sive stand that included theCoyotes getting inside theten. The Eagles then cappedoff a three-play drive with aMahan 68-yard TD run. Thetwo-point conversion wassuccessful making it 22-0 atthe end of the third. After a

three and out by Comanche,the Eagles marched downand scored after a nice Mar-cos Baeza 22-yard run to setup a Mahan nine-yard TDrun, capped off by an 18-yardreception by NathanLeininger after a penalty toput the Eagles up 30-0. Co-manche then scored late inthe game to make it 30-6 forthe final score.

“Tonight’s game was notindicative of how we haveplayed this year, I felt wewere flat, however, I thinkthis kind of thing happensafter a big win like last week.Also, Dodge City Comanchewas ready to play, and theywere well coached and prettyphysical. They certainly gaveus all we wanted at times. Iwas very proud of how ourkids played through the ad-versity at times. This doesgive us the ARMS leaguechampionship, we just needto take care of business nextTuesday against Ulysses, anon-league opponent, andmake it an undefeated sea-son,” commented CoachScott Schechter.

Saturday morning theHugoton High School gymna-sium was aflutter with activ-ity. It was the start of theJanet Cornelsen Benefit Co-Ed Volleyball Tournament. The tournament really

began with a handful ofyouth wanting to help out acommunity member. Theseyoung people are part of theearly membership of Hugo-ton Youth United. Theirgroup came into existence

earlier this year and is start-ing to be known around thearea due to some of the activ-ities they’ve organized. Fortu-nately, the group is alsogrowing in membership. Thegroup is comprised of severalHugoton High School stu-dents interested in makingpositive differences in thecommunity. HYU is not affili-ated with just one churchfrom the community but in-stead all churches and youthworking together. Seeing the dedication ofthese young people wasamazing. They chose tospend their weekend workingand ensuring the project theyplanned worked smoothly. The tournament itselfbegan with just a few teamsand slowly — and amazingly— grew until it reached thehuge 12 team tournamententertaining quite a largecrowd of people most of theday Saturday. Great PlainsGas Compression’s teammade it through the tourna-ment without even once goingto the loser bracket. TeamsCoulter Farms, Serves YouRight and 32° had to fight anuphill battle to get back up to

the winner’s bracket. Theteammates played severalmatches, many back to backwithout a break. Needless tosay, the last few games wereplayed by some very verytired and wornout people. This HYU endeavor gath-ered quite a substantialamount to be given to JanetCornelsen. You can help outtoo by making a check out toPheasant Heaven, put “JanetCornelsen” in the memo anddrop off at First NationalBank. Janet and her family havealways been great supportersof all Hugoton athletic events.The HYU members werepleased Janet and her familyallowed them the opportunityto “give back”. Great gratitude goes outfrom all the community to allthe team members whoworked hard having fun Sat-urday, to Oklahoma Smokefor providing the wonderfullunch and the kids, adultsand audience who helpedmake it the success it was. Please continue to keepJanet and her family in yourthoughts and prayers. Let’shelp Janet beat this thing!

ATTENTION: HOMEOWNERS WITH BASEMENTSThe City of Hugoton cleans all the sewer mains in town once a year. Inknown problem areas, the city tries to check the mains on a monthly basis.The industry standard, as per the city’s insurance company, calls for sewermains to be cleaned once everythree years. The city cannot keepover ten miles of sewer mains inpristine condition. Even when amain is cleaned, the next daysomeone back stream could putsomething in the sewer that causesa blockage downstream. That cer-tainly isn’t the property owners,whose basement backs up, fault.But, it is also not the city’s fault. Businesses who dispose of grease or thosewho put baby wipes and rags into the sewer are usually the culprits. The city council is going to have to take on the persona of AliceCooper and “no more Mr. Nice guy”. If you have a basement,protect your property by having a check valve installed. This

is an official notice for any future claims for damages due to thecity’s main becoming blocked.

Snack TimeAlthough I don’t have a hun-

gry kid at home after schoolanymore, I know many of youdo. They want something quickand easy, and oftentimes theyneed to be able to find, prepare

and eat it on their own. Whatmakes for a healthy snack? Foryour best choices head first tofruits and vegetables. They aresources of vitamins, mineralsand fiber. They provide nutri-ents that need to be a part ofyour everyday diet. So here aresome simple ways to createhealthy and delicious snacks.* Fruit Pops. Freeze pureedfruit, or use 100% juice, pourinto ice cube trays and freeze, orpour into paper cups withwooden sticks inserted partwaythrough the freezing time to useas a popsicle stick.* Frozen bananas. Push awooden stick into half of a ba-nana. Dip the banana in yogurtthen in crunchy cornflakes.Wrap and freeze.* Frozen fruit pieces. Slice ba-nanas into thin rounds. Spreadflat on a baking sheet andfreeze. Serve as frozen “chips”.Seedless grapes are deliciousfrozen, as well as a variety ofberries.* Frugurt. Top a rainbow ofcut-up fruit with low-fat yogurt.* Fruit smoothie. Blend fat-free frozen yogurt with mixedfruit, orange juice and ice.* Carrot sticks and sugar snappeas served with light ranchdressing.* Whole-grain crackers or minibagels with hummus or peanut

butter. Read the Nutrition Labelcarefully. The first ingredientshould read “whole wheat” in-stead of “enriched”.* String cheese or low-fat yo-gurt.* Plain popcorn with driedfruit. Again, some brands ofdried fruit are higher in sugarthan others. As a rule, try toavoid the sugary “tropical”mixes.

Trail MixTrail mix is one of those

snacks that you can never betoo sure about. The portions aregenerally large, and althoughnuts contain healthy fat, youdon’t want to overdo it. Here isa recipe that is both deliciousand nutritious!

Healthy Trail Mix Recipe -Makes 8 ½ cup servings2 cups unsweetened cereal,

such as toasted oat circles,wheat squares, bran flakes orothers

1 cup unsalted nuts andseeds, such as almonds, wal-nuts, sunflower seeds or others

1 cup dried fruit, such asraisins, cranberries, apricots orothers

Mix together all ingredientsand store in an airtight con-tainer or in the freezer.

To keep your snacking incheck, divide ½ cup servingsinto bags.

Tips to consume more fruitsor vegetables daily

* Top your breakfast cerealwith bananas. Add blueberriesto pancakes, make sure yourjuice is 100%.* Pack a piece of fruit forlunch. Or use individual con-tainers of fruits or applesauce.Look for sugar-free or low-sugarvarieties.* Add fruits to meat dishessuch as chicken with apricots,or pineapple on your pizza.* Make dessert a baked apple,pears or a fruit salad.* Plan some meals around avegetable main dish, such asvegetable stir-fry or soup.* Include a green salad withyour dinner every night.* Include chopped vegetablesin pasta sauce or lasagna.* Order a veggie pizza withtoppings such as mushrooms,green peppers, and onions, andask for extra veggies.

It was recently reported thatKansas kids averaged eating 1fruit and 1.3 vegetables daily.Considering the recommendedamount for an average ten yearold girl is 1½ cups of fruit and2½ cups of vegetables, they arefalling way behind in what theyshould be consuming. So putaway the chips and cookies andmake available lots of fruits andvegetables instead!

Motorists who still adhere tothe old standard of changing theirvehicles' oil every 3,000 miles arelikely wasting their money. Themajority of today's auto manufac-turers now build vehicles that cango twice as long, if not longer, be-tween oil changes. Many au-tomakers now call for oil changesevery 7,500 miles, and some goeven further, recommending oilchanges every 10,000 miles.Some vehicles can even go as longas 15,000 miles before needingan oil change. Vehicle ownersshould consult their owner'smanuals for advice on how oftentheir vehicles' oil should bechanged. When establishing anoil change schedule for their vehi-cles, many drivers are hesitant toabandon the conventional 3,000mile interval schedule that waslong espoused by the auto indus-try. But advancements in tech-nology have allowedmanufacturers to recommendlonger intervals between oilchanges, which benefits mo-torists' bottom lines and even theenvironment. Rather than need-lessly wasting perfectly good oilevery 3,000 miles, in many in-stances motorists can now con-

tinue to use that oil twice as long,if not longer, reducing waste-oildumping as a result. When con-sulting an owner's manual forrecommended oil change inter-vals, owners should resist thetemptation to follow the "severe"schedules listed in many owner'smanuals. Such schedules arerarely applicable under normalcircumstances, and only serve towaste drivers' money and oil.

Oil change frequency decreases

Most of us have a fall routineto prepare for the colder weather,but have you thought about howthe changing season affects ourpets? Dry air inside all winter longcan pose a problem for dogs andcats like it does for us, so theirhealth is another good reason toinstall a humidifier. Moister airhelps to prevent your pet's noseand throat from drying out. Also,pet food that is rich in omega oilsis specifically formulated to sup-port a healthy coat and skin indryer weather.

Deer can be spotted near ourstate’s roadways any time of theyear. However, in the fall, mo-torists should be especially vigi-lant for deer crossing thehighways. Deer breeding seasonpeaks in mid-November, andthis marks the period whendeer-vehicle collisions are high-est. That’s why the Kansas De-partment of Transportation(KDOT), the Kansas Departmentof Wildlife, Parks and Tourism(KDWPT), and the Kansas High-way Patrol are working togetherto raise awareness and help driv-ers avoid collisions with deer.

According to KDWPT biologistLloyd Fox, the increase in deer-vehicle crashes is strongly influ-enced by the deer matingseason, called “rut.” During rut,deer focus on mating; they travelmore than in other seasons, andpay less attention to hazardssuch as vehicles. Also duringthe fall, many deer move to newlocations as crops are harvestedand leaves fall from trees andshrubs, so they are less securethan in their summer habitats.

Not only are deer more activeduring the fall, shorter daysmean dusk and dawn - whendeer are more likely to be on themove - occur when commutertraffic is highest. According toKDOT spokesperson SteveSwartz, 15 percent, or 8,695, ofall traffic crashes in 2012 in-

volved deer. Two people werekilled and 322 were injured inthese crashes. Deer-vehicle colli-sions occur in every Kansascounty. In most cases, countieswith high human populationsand high traffic volumes recordthe most deer-vehicle crashes.Johnson County recorded themost crashes with 304, followedby Sedgwick County with 293,and Reno County with 237.

Motorists should observe thefollowing tips to avoid deer colli-sions:• Be especially watchful atdawn and dusk when deer areparticularly active;• Watch for more than onedeer, as they seldom travel alone;• Reduce speed and be alertnear wooded areas or greenspaces such as parks or golfcourses and near water sourcessuch as streams or ponds;• Don’t swerve to avoid hittinga deer - the most serious acci-dents sometimes occur whenmotorists swerve and collide withanother vehicle or run off theroad and hit an obstacle;• Heed deer crossing signs;• Always wear a seat belt anduse appropriate child safetyseats; and• Use bright lights and slowdown whenever the reflectiveeyes of deer are spotted.

According to KHP LieutenantJoshua Kellerman, if you hit a

deer, slow down and pull ontothe shoulder, turn on your emer-gency flashers, and watch fortraffic if you have to exit your ve-hicle. If you have a cellularphone and are on a Kansashighway, dial *47 (*HP) for ahighway patrol dispatcher, *582(*KTA) for assistance on theKansas Turnpike, or dial 911.

Anyone involved in a vehicle-deer crash resulting in personalinjury or property damage thattotals $1,000 or more is requiredto immediately report the crashto the nearest law enforcementagency. Failure to report anytraffic crash is a misdemeanorand may result in suspension ofdriving privileges.

A salvage tag is required to re-move a deer carcass from an ac-cident site. Tags can be issuedby KHP troopers, sheriff’sdeputies, or KDWPT natural re-source officers.

If you are involved in a non-injury crash on an interstate,U.S. highway, or any divided ormulti-lane road in the state ofKansas, and if you are not trans-porting hazardous materials,you are required by law to moveyour vehicle out of the lane oftraffic. This law is intended tohelp keep drivers and passen-gers safe by getting them out ofthe lane of traffic and away fromoncoming vehicles.

Most Likely Causes of Poor Wheat EmergenceGetting good stand establish-

ment of wheat is the first hurdlefor producers as they begin thenew season. If the wheat doesn’temerge, or emerges in a spottypattern, producers will have todiagnose the problem quicklyand decide whether it would bebest to wait a little longer or re-plant the field. Poor emergencecan be caused by a number ofproblems, such as deep planting,a plugged drill, poor seed quality,seed dormancy, dry soil, soilcrusting, and false wireworms.Take time to examine the evi-dence. Look for field patterns.Closer examination of the situa-tion will help determine thecauses of poor stands.

The ideal soil temperature forgermination of wheat seed is be-tween 54 and 77 degrees. Thisyear temperatures have beenmild for the most part, conducivefor good germination if there areno other problems. Topsoil mois-ture is better in most of the statethis year than it has been for thepast two or three years. As a re-sult, there shouldn’t be too manygermination and emergenceproblems caused by dry soils.

Some fields have beencrusted by heavy rains afterplanting, which can prevent thecoleoptile from breaking throughthe soil surface. If the wheat has-n’t emerged in a timely mannerand you’ve had a heavy rain afterthe wheat was planted, dig upsome seed and look for crinkledcoleoptiles. If this is the case, youcan try to break up the crustwith a light tillage or hope for agentle rain. But if the coleoptilestays underground for morethan a week or so and hasn’tbeen able to break through thesoil surface, it will start losing vi-ability. At that point, the pro-ducer will need to considerreplanting.

If soil temperatures are ideal,the topsoil is not unusually dry,and there has been no crusting,the most likely causes of poorstands would be deep planting,a plugged drill, poor seed quality,unusually long seed dormancy,

diseases, or insects. Deep planting, deeper than

the coleoptile’s ability to elongate,can slow emergence or causestand establishment problems.Varieties differ in their coleoptilelengths, but for the most partwheat should be planted aboutone and a half inches deep. Mostvarieties can emerge at slightlydeeper depths if the soil is not toorestrictive and temperatures arein the ideal range. But if wheat isplanted deeper than two and ahalf inches, it is possible thewheat cannot emerge. Once thecoleoptile grows as long as it can,which is determined by the vari-ety and soil temperature condi-tions (coleoptile length is shorterat both lower and higher temper-atures than the ideal range), thefirst true leaf will emerge belowground. Under normal condi-tions, this happens aboveground. If the coleoptile is stillunder the soil surface when itstops growing and the first trueleaf has to start growing in thesoil, it is very unlikely to be ableto force its way through the soiland emerge. What you’ll seewhen digging up the seed is anintact coleoptile alongside a shortfirst leaf that is scrunched up orcrinkled. If this is the case, it’svery unlikely the wheat willmake a stand wherever the seedwas planted too deeply and re-planting will be necessary.

Another possibility is that theseed has poor quality. As long asthe seed was tested for germina-tion by a licensed laboratory andhad an acceptable germinationrate, seed quality should not bea problem. If germination testingon the seed lot was not done bya laboratory, poor seed qualitycould be a problem if other po-tential problems have been ruledout. At times, wheat doesn’t ger-minate simply because the seedhas an unusually long seed dor-mancy requirement. This is hardto identify in the field, and cancause producers to replant whenit’s not necessary. There are va-riety differences in seed dor-mancy, although this hasn’tbeen tested recently. And evenwithin the same variety, some

seed will have longer dormancythan others depending on theconditions in which it was pro-duced. If a seed lot has unusu-ally long seed dormancy, itshould eventually germinate andemerge just fine.

Finally, false wireworms canbe the cause of poor emergence.False wireworms are soil-inhab-iting, yellowish to orange-coloredworms up to 1-1/2 inches long.A pair of short antennae isclearly visible on the front of thehead and the head region doesnot appear flattened whenviewed from the side. They com-monly follow the drill row in drysoils, feeding on the seeds priorto germination.

For more information, see K-State’s publication S-84, “Diag-nosing Wheat ProductionProblems” at www.ksre.ksu.edu/bookstore/pubs/s84.pdfTillering Potential of Wheat

Covered With SoilHigh winds and blowing soil

can cause soil to pile up in un-wanted places, including in thefurrows created by hoe drills.This has happened already thisyear in western Kansas, whereresidue levels are extremely lowas a result of the extremedrought the past year or two. Ifthis soil blows and drifts shortlyafter wheat emergence, thecrown of the seedlings will getburied to some extent under anunexpected layer of soil. Hope-fully there will still be leavessticking up out of the soil. Buteven if leaves are visible, thecrown will be positioned deeperunderground that normal.

This raises a few questions:1. Will this wheat still be able

to tiller? Yes, but there may befewer tillers than normal. Mosttillers form in the axils of leaves,which will be down at the crownlevel. The crown normally estab-lishes about a half-inch belowthe soil surface, regardless ofhow deeply the seed wasplanted. When the crown isdeeper in the soil, it will be coolerand this can reduce the level oftiller initiation activity going onnear the crown.

Once a wheat plant has three

leaves, the first tiller will be visi-ble in the axil of the first leaf. Ifthe seedling has been coveredwith soil, this tiller will have topush through more than theusual half-inch of soil to emerge.This takes a little extra effort, butis certainly not impossible. Afterthe next leaf forms, a secondtiller will start growing – this timefrom the axis of the second leaf.This will still be at the crown,however, and so the second tillerwill also be starting out undermore soil than normal. It’s hardto say how many of these tillerswill actually make it through thesoil.

There can also be “coleoptilar”tillers, which form at the base ofthe coleoptile – near the seed andbelow the crown. When the seedfurrow fills in with soil afteremergence, the seeds will be sodeep that it will be more difficultfor coleoptilar tillers to emerge.

2. Will the main shoot andleaves continue to grow nor-mally? Yes, if three or moreleaves are present above the soilsurface. Any shoots and leavesthat make it above the soil sur-face will grow normally. Potentialhead size will not be affected bythis. If only one leaf is stickingout of the ground (or not at all),however, the plants cannot beexpected to develop normally.

3. Should the field be re-planted? Accumulations of blow-ing soil will typically be quitevariable from field to field, orwithin a field. If the stand is goodin an affected area and there arethree or more leaves visibleabove the soil surface, thenthere’s probably no need to re-plant. You can probably expectfewer tillers per plant, dependingon how deep the crown has beenburied and the firmness of thesoil. That may reduce yield po-tential somewhat – but notenough to justify replanting. Ifthe stand has been thinned out,however, or if the plants areburied so that no leaves or onlyone leaf is visible, replanting maybe a good idea.

Natural gas has an excellent safety record, but faulty appliances, misuse and incidents can cause a leak. You can’t see a leak, but a tell-tale odor of rotten eggs should alert you.

If you think you smell natural gas:Get everyone out of the building immediately — leave the door open as you exit.Once outside, call 911 or the emergency number below.As you leave, don’t touch light switches, electrical appliances, phones or doors and windows. A spark of static electricity could ignite a leak.Wait well away from the building for emergency personnel.

Moscow Baptist Church hasmade big plans to celebrate thetwenty-fifth anniversary of thechurch’s beginning Saturdayand Sunday, October 19-20.

To kick off the weekend,there will be an informal comeand go “meet and greet” timeSaturday evening, October 19from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at thechurch. Former members andattendees, along with commu-nity friends and the MBC con-gregation, are invited to bringpictures and memories to sharewith each other about their timeat Moscow Baptist Church andcatch up on where they are now.

Sunday, October 20, the daywill start at 9:00 a.m. with a fel-lowship time before SundaySchool classes for all ages whichbegin at 9:30 a.m. Worship serv-ice will begin at 10:40 a.m. withformer member and guestspeaker Ed Stucky of ColoradoSprings, Co., and special musicby former members Mike Limonof Larned and Larry Dodge ofHutchinson.

Following worship there willbe a catered BBQ lunch foreveryone with time to reminisceabout the early days. At 1:30p.m. the congregation will gatheragain to formally celebrate thepast, present and future ofMoscow Baptist Churchthrough music, testimonies andmemories of the church’s his-tory. Everyone is invited to at-tend any or all of the specialservices or activities.

Moscow Baptist Churchbegan as a mission endeavor ofTrinity Baptist Church in Hugo-ton in September 1988, with asurvey of the Moscow commu-nity. Pastor Larry Bradford andtwenty-two members of Trinityconducted a worship service atthe Moscow Senior Center dur-ing the evening of September 11with 18 Moscow residents at-tending. The next week morespace was needed and the groupmoved to the Moscow Recre-ation Building. After sevenweeks, it was decided to beginmorning worship services at9:00 a.m. with Pastor Bradfordserving both congregations.

July 7, 1990, a volunteerwork crew from Baptistchurches in Kansas, Missouri,Oklahoma, Illinois, Arkansas,and Louisiana converged on thislittle town and by the end of theweek had erected a churchbuilding for the new Mission,complete with walls, doors, win-dows, restrooms, sheetrock andelectricity. Over the next severalmonths Trinity members andmembers and friends of theMoscow congregation workeddiligently on the interior finish-

ing work of the structure. Al-though on cement floors, thefirst morning worship servicetook place there July 29, 1990.

In 1996, Moscow BaptistMission petitioned the SouthernBaptist Convention, the Kansas-Nebraska Convention of South-ern Baptists, and the WesternKansas Baptist Association forfull church status.

Pastor Bradford has contin-

ued as pastor and worship timeschanged to 10:30 a.m. In thespring of 1999, an additionalstructure was added to the orig-inal building. The congregationnow numbers over 100 officialmembers, along with manyfriends who support the min-istry of Moscow Baptist Church.Its legacy continues … everyoneis welcome!

Wichita State Universityhas refocused and resized itsscholarship program to ex-pand opportunities forprospective and academicallyqualified students.

Scholarships for the newFreshmen Merit Program -with awards of up to $12,000over four years - will beginwith the 2014-2015 academicyear. The scholarships, whichspan from $1,000 per year to$3,000 per year, are being of-fered this week and will con-tinue to be offered on amonthly basis throughMarch 1. Awards after thatdate will be based on avail-ability of funds.

“The goal of the new meritscholarship program is to re-ward a wider range of stu-dents for their academicexcellence, while helping withmoney to fund their educa-tional experience at WichitaState,” said Deb Byers, direc-tor of financial aid at WSU.

One key change is refocus-ing WSU's scholarship pro-grams so that students canpursue a WSU educationwith the aid of a renewablemerit scholarship during afour-year period of time.

A second change elimi-nates the need for students tosubmit a separate scholar-ship application. All newly

admitted students who arequalified will receive an offeras long as money is available.

“With the new scholarshipprogram, students shouldknow within four to fiveweeks of being admitted toWSU what they can expect toreceive,” said Byers.

In addition to the newFreshmen Merit Program,WSU also has announced anew National Merit Scholar-ship Program, Transfer MeritScholarship Program andHonors College ScholarshipProgram.

In spite of the ongoing po-litical showdown in the Na-tion’s Capital, RepresentativeTim Huelskamp and the en-tire Kansas delegation wel-comed Kansas veterans tothe World War II Memorial.Despite a soggy Wednesdaymorning, the rain dropsdidn’t dampen the pride andexcitement of those whomade the trip from the FirstDistrict.

“Although the Obama Ad-ministration has made thedecision to play politics andmake this shut down as

painful as possible, I knewwithin my heart that wecould not allow these bravemen and women to be deniedthe opportunity to see thevery memorials built to honortheir service. I had the oppor-tunity to spend time thismorning with vets from Hays,Garden City, Manhattan andall over Kansas. Hearing theirstories remind me why it isimportant for us to fight forliberty and freedom.

“I hope this trip of a life-time for these Kansans willnot be detracted by the unfor-

tunate situation we find our-selves in here in Washington.Our veterans in Kansas andacross the country deservebetter than that,” said Con-gressman Huelskamp.

Kansas Honor Flight #9arrived in WashingtonWednesday afternoon Octo-ber 9. In addition to theWorld War II Memorial, thegroup also visited the KoreanWar, Lincoln, and VietnamWar Memorials. They re-turned to Wichita Friday, Oc-tober 11.

Huelskamp’s CornerBy Representative Tim Huelskamp

Governor Sam Brownback

As the federal governmentshutdown continues, uncer-tainty is growing for citizensacross this great nation asthe effects of the shutdownbegin to hit close to home.

Here in Kansas, our ad-vance planning for a possiblegovernment shutdown meansthat we are able to mitigatethese effects for our citizens.Since taking office, this ad-ministration and the legisla-ture have worked hard to putour fiscal house in order.When we took office in 2011,we faced a deficit of $500 mil-lion. Kansas started thisweek with more than $430million in the bank. Thisstrong ending balance pro-vides us with flexibility incash flow management thatwe can use to minimize theeffect of the federal govern-ment shutdown on programscritical to the citizens of

Kansas.We are taking steps to en-

sure unemployed Kansanscontinue to receive scheduledunemployment paymentsand to minimize any disrup-tions to programs needed byour most vulnerableKansans, including Tempo-rary Aid to Needy Familiesand the Women Infants andChildren programs. An ex-tended federal shutdownputs these and other pro-grams in jeopardy.

[Last week], I instructedthe Department of Labor notto proceed with plans to fur-lough 119 employees October11. This ensures unemployedKansans will continue to re-ceive scheduled unemploy-ment checks.

The National Guard andKansas Highway Patrol willcontinue to fulfill their criticalpublic safety roles. The Na-

tional Guard is closely man-aging the use of maintenancerepair parts, supplies andother items that they will notbe able to replace while thegovernment shutdown con-tinues. In some cases, em-ployees performing similarjob functions are being ro-tated to minimize financialimpact and loss of benefits.The State has assumed theresponsibility for the costs ofsome operations, includingutilities costs at NationalGuard facilities which are ex-pected to be reimbursedwhen the CR or appropriationis passed.

The supplemental nutri-tion WIC program whichserves low-income mothersand their children will oper-ate through this month. Weare continually reassessingour available options if theshutdown continues into No-

vember.These actions will preserve

critical services through Oc-tober. My administrationcontinues to assess our re-sources and identify solu-tions to the problems createdby the ongoing governmentshutdown.

The Kansas economy isstrong, just as its people arestrong. I am committed tominimizing the effects of thisshutdown on Kansans. At thesame time, we must continueour forward progress by de-veloping a skilled workforce,creating a robust economyand investing in makingKansas an even better placeto raise a family.

When working properly,the human heart is a wonder.The heart's two upper cham-bers work in conjunctionwith the two lower chambersto deliver blood and oxygen toevery area of the body. Some-times the heart may beat ir-regularly and rapidly, inwhich a person is experienc-ing atrial fibrillation, com-monly shortened to AF or"afib."

When a person is healthy,the atria (upper chambers) ofhis or her heart contract, fol-lowed by the ventricles (lowerchambers) in a normal sinusrhythm. When timed per-fectly, this beating enablesthe efficient flow of bloodthroughout the body. Nor-mally, the heart beats at arate of 60 to 100 times perminute at rest. When atrialfibrillation occurs, the electri-cal rhythm of the heart is notorderly and many differentimpulses fire rapidly at once,causing a chaotic rhythm inthe atria, which can no longereffectively contract blood intothe ventricles. The result isan irregular, fast heartbeatthat may range in 300 to 600beats per minute at rest.

There is no one cause ofAF, which has been linked toa number of different heartconditions. These include,but are not limited to, hyper-tension, coronary artery dis-ease, heart valve disease,cardiomyopathy, congenitalheart disease, and pul-monary embolism. Hyperthy-roidism and excessive alcoholconsumption as well aspneumonia and certain lungconditions also may con-tribute to AF. The MayoClinic says the older a personis, the greater his or her riskfor atrial fibrillation. Aroundeight percent of the UnitedStates population over theage of 80 has AF.

In many cases, AF exhibitsno symptoms and a personmay not realize that the heartis beating erratically. Faint-ing, chest pain, lightheaded-ness, confusion, andshortness of breath may besymptoms of AF. Others withAF have reported palpita-tions, which are the sensa-tion of a racing heartbeat thatalmost seems like the heart isflopping in the chest. Veryoften people spend severalyears with AF without know-ing it.

A doctor will diagnose AFthrough a variety of differenttests. An electrocardiogram,or ECG, graphs an image ofthe electrical impulses travel-ing through the heart. This isone of the more commonways to diagnose AF. A mon-itor may be worn for a fewdays to continuously recordthe heart rhythm.

Oftentimes a person canlive with AF without anyproblems. However, there aresome dangers in letting AF gountreated. Because the heartis beating irregularly, bloodflow can be compromised andnot pump efficiently. This canmake the heart weaken andlead to heart failure. Whenthe atria are not beating cor-rectly, blood will not flowthrough them as quickly.This may cause blood to poolin the upper chambers andcontribute to clot formation.If a clot dislodges and getspumped into the brain, it cancause a stroke. The ClevelandClinic says those with AF arefive to seven times more likelyto have a stroke than thosewithout AF.

Treating AF may require aseries of medications to pre-vent clots and reset therhythm of the heart. Reset-ting the rhythm is known ascardioversion, which can bedone with medication orthrough a brief electricalshock under sedation. Blood-thinning medications, suchas Warfarin, may be pre-scribed. Such medicationshelp the blood stay thin andprevent clotting. Routinecheckups may be neededwhile taking a blood-thinnerbecause small cuts can resultin significant blood loss.

Drugs used to keep theheart rate normal and pre-vent future episodes of AF in-clude sotalol, dronedarone,dofetilide, and amiodarone.

AF may recur even whentreatment is effective. It maytake some time to get theright balance of treatment toprevent future bouts of AF,but there is no guarantee itwon't come back. Working inconcert with a qualified doc-tor can make the process gomore smoothly, and treat-ment with medication mayneed to continue throughouta person's life.

From Metro Editorial Serv-ices.

Teri Ackerson was driving toStarbucks with her son - untilsuddenly she lost control of herleft arm and became unable tospeak.

Ackerson, a 43-year-oldnurse, mother and triathlete,was having a stroke. Afterpulling over, she pointed to theclock in the car for her son tonote the time, knowing just howimportant it would be for doctorsto know when symptoms began.Fortunately, she was able to re-ceive tPA, the clot-busting drugthat must be administeredwithin three hours of the onsetof stroke.

“Even though I was a bit indenial, my son and I both recog-nized the warning signs of astroke and sought immediatemedical attention,” Ackersonsaid. “I know stroke is some-thing that can happen to anyoneat any time and if it does, youhave to act quickly. The longeryou wait, the worse it can be.”

One in six people worldwidewill have a stroke in their life-time. In the United States,someone has a stroke every 40seconds.

In recognition of WorldStroke Day October 29, theAmerican Heart Association/American Stroke Associationurges those who care for othersto learn the stroke warningsigns, since bystanders oftenneed to act fast in an emergency.

A new survey commissionedby the American Heart Associa-

tion/American Stroke Associa-tion found that many peoplewho care for family or friends athigh risk for stroke don’t knowthe potentially life-saving warn-ing signs.

•Only 41 percent of peoplewho care for individuals withhealth concerns other thanstroke know three or morestroke warning signs as com-pared to 58 percent of those whocare for stroke survivors.

•Knowledge of three or morestroke warning signs wasslightly better (46 percent)among people who care for indi-viduals with high blood pres-sure, a major risk factor forstroke.

•Virtually all surveyed saidthey would call 9-1-1 if theythought someone was having astroke, but a recent studyshowed more than a third ofstroke patients don’t get to thehospital by ambulance.

“The patient doesn’t alwaysrecognize their own stroke andwhen they do, sometimes theirsymptoms make calling for helpdifficult, if not impossible,” saidDr. Lechtenberg, neurologistand chairperson of the KansasState Stroke Task Force. “Justlike we need to learn CPR to savesomeone else’s life, we need tolearn how to spot a stroke andact fast for the best chance of apositive outcome.”

The American Stroke Associ-ation’s Together to End Strokeinitiative, nationally sponsored

by Covidien, a global healthcareproduct company, teaches theacronym F.A.S.T. to rememberstroke warning signs:

F - Face Drooping: Does oneside of the face droop or is itnumb? Ask the person to smile.

A - Arm Weakness: Is onearm weak or numb? Ask theperson to raise both arms. Doesone arm drift downward?

S - Speech Difficulty: Isspeech slurred, are they unableto speak, or are they hard to un-derstand? Ask the person to re-peat a simple sentence like, “Thesky is blue.” Is the sentence re-peated correctly?

T - Time to call 9-1-1: If theperson shows any of thesesymptoms, even if the symp-toms go away, call 9-1-1 and getthem to the hospital immedi-ately.

“Those with loved ones whohave stroke risk factors shouldmake it a priority to learnF.A.S.T. and teach others,” saidDr. Lechtenberg. “Recognizing astroke and calling 9-1-1 givesthe patient a greater chance ofgetting to an appropriate hospi-tal quickly and being assessedfor life-saving treatment like aclot-busting drug or medical de-vice.”

The association offers a freemobile app to help people spot astroke and identify award-win-ning hospitals nearby.

This year, 795,000 people inthe United States will have a firstor recurrent stroke. Other thana prior stroke, major stroke riskfactors include:

•High blood pressure – It’s

the most important controllablerisk factor for stroke. About 77percent of people who have afirst stroke have blood pressurehigher than 140/90 mm Hg. Anestimated 78 million Americanshave hypertension.

•Transient ischemic attack –About 15 percent of strokes arepreceded by a TIA (or “mini

stroke”).•Atrial fibrillation (Afib) – It in-

creases stroke risk up to fivetimes and affects more than 2.7million Americans.

•Smoking – Current smokershave two to four times the strokerisk of nonsmokers or those whoquit more than ten years ago. In2011, 21.3 percent of men and

16.7 percent of women 18 orolder were cigarette smokers.

Consumer Corner: Treat prepaid debit cards like cash

Prepaid debit cards have be-come popular ways to pay billsover the phone or order thingsonline without using a creditcard. However, these cards havealso become the target for scamartists looking for quick accessto your money.

Unlike credit cards, transac-tions on prepaid debit cards arehard to reverse or track once themoney has been sent from yourcard. This makes them a popu-lar method for scam artists tohave you send them money,leaving you with no way to get itback. Sending someone moneythrough a prepaid debit card isjust like sending cash.

Our office has received an in-creasing number of complaintsof scams using these prepaidcards as the vehicle for rippingoff Kansans from their hard-earned dollars. Oftentimes,these scams come in the form ofa phone call informing you thatyou have won a sweepstakes or

lottery. They will then ask you topurchase a prepaid debit card,available at almost any conven-ience or discount store, to coverthe fees. Next, they want you togive them the card number andaccess code, allowing them in-stant access to the money youput on the card.

The FBI also recently issuedan alert scam artists have beencalling retail businesses usingbomb threats to extort money byprepaid debit cards. The callerswarn the business a bomb hasbeen placed on their premisesand unless a certain amount ofmoney is loaded onto a prepaidcard, the device will be deto-nated. The FBI reports no actualexplosives have been found atany of the locations where thecalls have been received.

Here are a few tips to keepyou safe from these scams:• Report any threats of explo-sives or violence immediately tolocal law enforcement officials.• You should never have to payfees to claim a prize you have

“won.”• Never give out account num-bers over the phone to someoneyou do not know, including pre-paid card numbers, credit cardnumbers or bank account num-bers.• If an offer sounds too good tobe true, it probably is. Be skep-tical and ask a lot of questions.• Ask telemarketers to sendyou information on their prod-uct or service by mail so you canconsider all your options andmake informed decisions.

Remember, the Kansas Lot-tery is the only legally operatinglottery in the State of Kansas,and officials from the KansasLottery will never ask you formoney up front in order to claima prize.

Consumers who think theymay have been a victim of a pre-paid debit card scam shouldcontact our Consumer Protec-tion Division at 1-800-432-2310or file a complaint online atwww.ag.ks.gov.
