The pedestrian-acti-vated stop signals for theintersections of Eleventhand Jackson and Eleventhand Van Buren were dis-cussed. Larry Thompsonwith Kansas Departmentof Transportation was

present to answer ques-tions from the council-men. Steve Shore withGades Sales Co. Inc.brought in a sample ofwhat the stop signal wouldlook like and showed howit worked. The sample wasof a Rectangular RapidFlashing Beacon System.The beacon is solar oper-ated and usually installedin pairs; one on each sideof the street. The flashingbeacons face motorists,and once activated by apedestrian pushbutton,the indicators flashbrightly and alternately ina rapid sequence for anadjustable, preset dura-tion to alert motorists of apedestrian in the cross-walk. If the beacons areinstalled it would elimi-nate the 20 m.p.h. schoolzone speed limit flashingbeacons. The schoolboard’s contention is, evenif the speed limit on thehighway is reduced to 35m.p.h. as recommendedby KDOT, that rate ofspeed is too fast for east-bound traffic to be ex-pected to safely come to astop once a pedestrian ac-tivates the crossing signal.The city clerk was in-

Some things are ending:summer, vacation time forlots of students—but somethings are beginning: a newschool year, different kids,college years, for some a dif-ferent job…the list goes on.Many have the same Father,Son and Holy Spirit, butmany are receiving new call-ings, new levels of involve-ment in the spiritual

assignments. The Lord wantsyou moving on! Water on thefeet, water up on the calf, theknees, the thighs…!

September’s Aglow speakeris Mary Comba from ScottCity. Some of you have metMary and some are still tohave that opportunity. Shewill be sharing her spiritualwalk as she gives her testi-mony. Mary is the youngestof four daughters born in along lineage of Catholicswhose ancestry date back toFrance. Her parents lived inOdessa, Tx., until 1973—sev-eral moves involved her par-ents encountering the Lord in

new and exciting ways asthey participated in Pente-costal worship, Holy SpiritBaptism and a departurefrom their former forms ofworship. By 1981, the familywas in Scott City, and threeof the daughters had followedtheir parents in the wonder-ful worship experiences. Theywere more than happy toshare with others the truth:when you are born again andbaptized in the Spirit, you area new creation!

Mary has much to shareabout how she was enlight-ened by the Holy Spirit, howshe read more and more ofthe Word and wanted moreand more of the Lord. Shetestifies He has restoredmuch of what the canker-worm had stolen in her life.She states the Lord has pre-pared the way—Christianshave been called into service.All are expected to practiceand perfect their weapons ofwarfare.

Recent Bible reading hasbeen in Ezekiel 37, the valleyof dry bones. The Lordbreathed new life in them andproclaimed, “I will be theirGod and they will be my peo-ple.” Mary walks in that un-derstanding.

Obituaries

Of the 1,272 federal disasterdeclarations issued in the lastdecade, more than half wereclassified as major disasters.These include calamities suchas floods, hurricanes and trop-ical storms, winter storms, andothers. In the last ten years,

every state has had a least twoevents designated as a majorfederal disaster.

"Most major disasters dis-placed hundreds or thousandsof people from home and work,and nearly all involved a tem-porary or prolonged loss of

major services and necessities,including power, communica-tions, and running water," saidJonathan Bacon, director ofmarketing at Wilson Electron-ics, a maker of communica-tions equipment in St. George,Ut.

"We began thinking aboutwhat has changed in technol-ogy and society, and how thatwould affect what we wouldwant to have in an emergency'go-pack'," Bacon said. "A lot ofwhat we would take with ushasn't changed, but some ofwhat we'd desire today had notbeen invented ten years ago.We came up with six items thatwere either invented or radi-cally improved in the last tenyears. We call it the ‘21st Cen-tury Survival Kit’."

1. Cell phone signal booster:"We're all extremely dependenton smartphones for voice anddata communications. Alreadywidely used by first respondersand news crews when initiallyentering disaster zones, theSleek 4G, a portable cell phonesignal booster, helps to trans-mit and receive calls and datavia cell towers unaffected by a

disaster. In a severe situationlike Hurricane Sandy where allcommunications were compro-mised for several days, havinga cell booster could save pre-cious hours of driving time tofind a strong cell signal."

2. Batteries: Two portablelithium-ion batteries, each witha minimum capacity of10,000mAh, is enough for onebattery to fully charge at leastthree smartphones or to powera tablet, netbook, or cellbooster for several hours.

3. Portable solar panel:"These solar panels weigh onlyabout a pound and are verypractical for charging portablebatteries and devices," saidBacon. He recommended apanel capable of producing atleast ten Watts of power andone amp of current.

4. LED headlamp: Also pow-ered by rechargeable batteries,the latest generation of thesetypes of lamps have adjustablebrightness to maximize batterylife and can be made brightenough to cast light more than100 feet.

5. Two-way FRS/GMRS ra-dios: "When even a booster

can't find a cell signal, these ra-dios provide a communicationsrange up to 30 miles," saidBacon.

6. Microbial filter straw: Thisis used for drinking water thatmay be contaminated with bac-teria, organic and waterbornechemicals, and other harmfulelements. One filter straw canfilter 30 gallons of water.

"A lot has happened just inthe last ten years to makekeeping in contact and avoidinghealth risks easier under ad-verse conditions," said Bacon.All of these products are readilyavailable, weigh less than fivepounds total and take up littleroom in a backpack.

From MetroEditorial Services.

said he can’t speak for allStevens County entities, buthe was sure some will partic-ipate.

Paula asked to set the datefor the next meeting. It wasset for December 3 at 11:30a.m. at the Fire Station orEMS Training Center.

Lunch was served, thenJudy Parsons presented herprogram.

KDI first started produc-tion in April 2013. It runs24/7 with three eight-hourshifts. Their mission is totake the farm to the con-sumer. They, as the middleman, partner with the farmswhere they get their milk.They then use their process

to turn the milk into a prod-uct ready to be turned intocheese.

KDI’s corporate office is inKansas City. The plant is stillin its growing stage as it firststarted producing its productin April of 2013. They employ37 people at the plant as ofnow. Their first expansion isnow in place. There are a lotof dairies in southwestKansas: the reason Hugotonwas selected as a good site.KDI accepts approximately36 to 40 tankers full of milkacross their scales every day,their capacity right now.Each tanker holds around50,000 pounds each. It takesaround 650 cows to fill onetanker with milk! Do themath!

Following the processingat KDI, approximately eightto ten tankers of ultra filteredmilk are shipped out eachday, as well as Permeateshipped out to to be added tocowfeed. Water pulled out ofthe milk is cleaned and ultrafiltered then used to clean

equipment. They generateover 100,000 gallons of waterper day. Every ingredient istested by the Department ofAg from incoming milk, to themilk products and even thewater.

Ten silos hold the milkbeing processed. The finalproduct is shipped out tomake cheese. There are fu-ture plans to expand to thenorth, but there will be nocheese made in Hugoton.KDI in Hugoton is the onlyplant of its kind in NorthAmerica.

Judy told of how the milkis kept at or below approxi-mately 40 degrees comingand going at all times. Theload is refused if the temper-ature rises above 42 degrees.

The signup sheet waspassed around for peoplewho have never toured the fa-cility to sign up to tour theplant next Wednesday, but atpress time, this tour has beenpostponed also. Motion was made to ad-journ.

Silvia strongly expressedher dismay with the citycouncil’s policy that wouldprevent her from havingrecreational vehicles go intothe established mobile homespaces on her property at 506East Fifth. She had gone tosome expense to change theelectric connections from atraditional mobile home torecreational vehicles on twoof her spaces. The city did notinform her the rules weregoing to change. City ClerkHicks gave some history ofthe evolution of the city’scodes concerning mobilehome parks. At one time,three mobile home spaceswere considered a mobilehome park. Several locationsremain which were estab-lished based on that criteria.The three-space thresholdwas later changed to require

ten spaces to be considered amobile home park, to reducethe proliferation of mobilehomes around town. Motionwas made and seconded toallow the mobile homes loca-tions at 506 E.

It was football weatherFriday night with wet andcool conditions. It was alsothe Eagles’ first game of theseason against the GuymonOklahoma Tigers. Not manyfans braved the rain butthose who did saw an excitingwin for the home team.

Bernabe Mendoza startedthe game by kicking to theTigers. This was the first ofthree kick offs by Mendoza,resulting in a total of 115yards for the night. Bothteams came out strong andby half-time the Eagles led,12 to 6. Keeping the pressureup in the last two quarters,the Eagles added points whilemaking Guymon work hardto add to their side of thescoreboard. When the finalwhistle blew and the cannonmade its last boom, the Ea-gles had won their first gameof the year, 31 to 22.

The first quarter had theEagle fans a little concernedwhen Guymon scored thefirst touchdown with 6:17 onthe clock. Hugoton was justgetting warmed up. After sev-eral plays, the Eagles went onthe scoreboard when quarter-back Parker Titus ran the ballinto the end zone from nineyards out. Hugoton at-tempted an extra point kickbut like Guymon’s attemptbefore, the kick was blocked.It was a tied game, six to sixgoing into the second quar-ter.

The Tigers had control ofthe ball at the start of thesecond quarter beginning onthe 49 yard line. Fifteen sec-

onds had ticked by whenGuymon fired a pass downfield. Kellen Watkins read theplay and was there to inter-cept the ball on the 32-yardline. It was an exciting playbut unfortunately the Eaglesfailed to get the ball down thefield and score. This battleraged on for the next elevenand a half minutes. It lookedas if the half was going to endin a tie. But - wait sports fans- the Eagles had not given upyet! Titus made a throw toWade Hager who got the teamto the 13-yard line. Only sec-onds remained when the ballwas snapped, and Titus firedthe ball to Watkins in the endzone for another Hugoton Ea-gles touchdown as the end ofthe quarter buzzer soundedoff. The two-point conversionfailed, and the two teamswent to the locker rooms witha half time score of Hugoton12, Guymon 6.

The third quarter was aback and forth gamethroughout much of thequarter. With half the quartergone, it was time for the Ea-gles to work some magic andget things going again. Theclock had counted down,leaving 5:23 left in the third,when Titus made a 38-yardpass to Zack Leininger for an-other touchdown. Once againthe two-point conversionfailed but the Eagles now hada two-touchdown lead overGuymon. The Tigers got a bigbreak at the end of the thirdquarter when Victor Legardareturned a 91-yard touch-down run. The third quarter

ended with Hugoton still ontop, 18 to 14.

Hugoton added two moretouchdowns in the fourthquarter. Noel Camachoscored the Eagles’ first pointsof the final quarter on a fouryard run, followed by oneextra point kick by ColbyKorf. The Eagles added theirfinal touchdown with lessthan three minutes left in thegame on a quarterbackkeeper from one yard out.Guymon also added a touch-down coming from a 67-yardpass followed by a two-pointconversion. Hugoton finishedtheir first game of the seasonwith a win.

The Eagles’ stats lookedgood for their first game ofthe season. QuarterbackParker Titus had 13 carriesfor 58 yards rushing and con-nected ten out of 24 pass at-tempts for 160 yards passing.Runningback Ulises Reyesfollowed with ten carries for54 yards. Reyes also puntedthree times for 102 yards.Runningback Michael Baezaran the ball twelve times for48 yards along with 29 yardson five carries by Noel Cama-cho.

The Lady Eagles traveledto Sublette Thursday, Sep-tember 4 to participate intheir first outing of the sea-son. Going toe to toe withStanton County in game one,the Hugoton girls won afterthree matches, 25-21, 21-25and 25-17. Serving was goodin this match-up with theladies serving with 92 percentaccuracy. Taylor Fiss demon-strated some great skillsleading the team with eightkills. Anna Pena and RileySosa followed close behindwith seven kills each.

The Lady Eagles playedUlysses in their second game.It was a tough game for theHugoton team, and they ulti-mately lost the battle after

two matches, 14-25 and 19-25. Serving from the line wasn’t as good with only 80percent. Sosa had the mostkills against the Lady Tigerswith three.

Sublette was the Lady Ea-gles’ final opponent for theday. Going three matches,the Hugoton girls took downthe Lady Larks after three in-tense games, 23-25, 25-19and 25-17.

“It was a great first outingfor the Lady Eagles and theJV team,” said Coach MelanieGifford. “The Varsity defenseis looking strong but we willcontinue to work on gettingblocks and kills, just an over-all more aggressive frontrow,” Gifford concluded.

Noel Camacho isn’t going down easily during Friday’s homegame against Guymon, Ok. It took one around his legs and onepushing from behind to bring this Eagle down and stop the play.

Despite slick grass from the rain, Kicker Colby Korf sends theball well over the Tigers’ heads during the recent home gameagainst Guymon.

This Guymon Tiger can’t get away from Paden Cornelsenduring Friday’s game. Hugoton went on to defeat the visitingOklahoma team 31 to 22.

Hugoton High Schoolcross country had a greatperformance by the team tostart the season. Both teamsfinished as meet championsin a good opening race. Theconditions were a little warmand windy but the kids han-dled it pretty well.

“We did have a freshmanwho had to go to the hospitalto get rehydrated but hope-fully we can get him back to100% before too long. Overallit was a great start to the2014 season,” said CoachNick Rodriguez.

The girls’ team was reallysolid and looked great. Theboys have some work to dobut still ran very well. Hugo-ton’s next meet for the varsityteams is Saturday, Septem-ber 13, at the Wamego Invita-tional.

“This is really a big test forboth teams this early in theseason, but we need it. Ourgirls will be short handed asour number two runner has acommitment at the StateFair. But we knew that head-

ing into the year that wewould have to compete with-out her,” concluded Ro-driguez.

By Michael SewellThe Eagle junior varsity

football team unleashed awell-rounded fury of defeatover the Tigers last Mondaynight, in Guymon, OK, with ascore of 28-20. This JV winreiterated the varsity’s victo-rious message during theirweek one match. The Eaglesfootball teams looks talented,well-practiced, and there isno doubt that they are anx-ious to compete in 2014!

The first half of play was

dominated by the Eagle’s de-fense, which outscored theTiger’s offense by 14-0 in thefirst half! Jose Salas caughtan interception and returnedit 35 yards for a defensivetouchdown in the secondquarter. Then fellow team-mate Dawson Burnett tookhis own bite out of the Tigerpassing game with anotherinterception, which he re-turned 28 yards for anotherEagle defense touchdown.Eddie Marquez also added to

this second quarter Tigerdemolition with a 65-yardtouchdown run and thentopped it off by running in atwo-point conversion. TheEagles gave the Tigers some-thing to think about duringhalftime with a 20-0 lead.

The Tigers came out in thesecond half with a valiant ef-fort by scoring 20 points oftheir own, 12 in the thirdquarter, eight in the fourth.However, the talented Eaglesoffense showed endurance inthe fourth quarter by movingthe ball down the field, andsealing the deal was quarter-back Valentino Degalladowith a four-yard touchdownpass to Colby Korf, followedby another two-point-conver-sion run by Marquez.

The JV bore the sameessence of unity as the var-sity did over the Tigers. Onecould see strong attributes ofteamwork, athleticism, and awell-rounded intelligent de-sign in the Eagle’s footballteams this first week of play.Everyone is all excited to seethe upcoming clash nextweek against the always com-petitive, Ulysses Tigers.

The cooler temperaturesforecasted serve as a re-minder winter will be here be-fore you know it. Heatingyour home during the wintermonths can create a financialburden. This year, theKansas Department for Chil-dren and Families (DCF) andthe Propane Marketers Asso-ciation of Kansas (PMAK) en-courage propane users to fillearly, while prices are lower.For those who relied onpropane last year for heating,a propane shortage and highcosts caught many residentsby surprise.

“Now is the time to preparefor another potentially harshwinter,” DCF Secretary Phyl-lis Gilmore said. “Filling yourpropane tank during theearly fall months will help en-sure your family can staywarm and safe during thewinter when temperaturesdip.”

Last year, 719 Kansansbenefited from the Emer-gency Propane Relief Pro-

gram. Governor Sam Brown-back directed DCF to helpthose who didn’t qualify forthe Low-income Energy As-sistance Program (LIEAP) butwere still struggling to meetthe extreme costs associatedwith the propane shortage. Inmid-January, propane costsspiked to $4.06 per gallon.The cost fell back to normalby March, to $1.17 per gal-lon.

The emergency programhelped families whose incomefell between 130 and 185 per-cent of the federal povertylevel. It provided a one-time$511 benefit to eligiblehouseholds. The LIEAP pro-gram served households withan income of less than 130percent of the federal povertylevel. LIEAP applications willbe accepted beginning Janu-ary 20. Priority status willonce again be issued forclients who list propane astheir primary heating sourceon their LIEAP applications.

“The hope is that theEmergency Propane ReliefProgram will not be neededagain; you can’t controlMother Nature,” PMAK Exec-utive Vice President Greg Nollsaid. “If Kansas propane cus-tomers begin taking stepsnow to prepare for a difficultwinter, we will be in muchbetter shape this timearound.”

Both PMAK and DCF aremonitoring the situationclosely. For more informationabout current prices andpropane use in Kansas, con-tact the Propane MarketersAssociation of Kansas at 785-354-1749 or visitwww.pmak.org. For more in-formation about LIEAP, visitwww.dcf.ks.gov.

tinue, leading the national aver-age up about a penny," saidGasBuddy.com Senior Petro-leum Analyst Patrick DeHaan."We're past the seventh inningstretch for what will be a shortlived upward trend, and mo-torists will be seeing lower pricesby late September in most areasacross the country. A mere 1.5percent of all U.S. gas stationsare priced over $4 per gallon,while roughly a third of stationsare seeing prices over $3.50 pergallon, a huge drop vs. last yearwhen nearly 62 percent of sta-tions were charging over $3.50per gallon. On the bottom side,the cheapest five percent of sta-tions are charging an average of$3.08 per gallon, and that pricewill likely continue moving lowerin the weeks ahead," DeHaansaid.

According to the Surveil-lance, Epidemiology, and EndResults Program from the Na-tional Cancer Institute,prostate cancer is most fre-quently diagnosed among menbetween the ages of 65 and 74.Though any man can getprostate cancer, older men arefar more likely to be diagnosedthan younger men. Of the newcases of prostate cancer diag-nosed in the United States be-tween 2007 and 2011, lessthan one percent were amongmen between the ages of 35 to44. While prostate cancer hasexcellent survival rates, deathrates are higher among certaingroups of men, including thosebetween the ages of 75 and 84and men of African-Americandescent. The benefits of earlydetection of prostate cancer areobvious in the death rates, asjust 0.1 percent of prostatecancer deaths between 2006and 2011 were among men be-tween the ages of 35 and 44,while just 1.6 percent of thosedeaths were among men be-tween the ages of 45 and 54.

FOOTBALL AND SOCIALSECURITY

Good coaching and a greatplaybook can make all thedifference in the world for awinning football team. Fail tocreate a sound game plan,and you’re likely to miss op-portunities and fall behind. The same is true for retire-ment—except you call theplays, including when to re-tire and how much to save. Ifyou walk onto the retirementfield without a game plan,you may have to work longerthan you had hoped. You cer-tainly don’t want to find your-self unable to have thecomfortable retirement youenvisioned. You may have to call yourown financial plays, but So-cial Security has tools to helpyou. We can help you decidewhat options might be suc-cessful in any situation youmay find yourself in. For example, how muchcan you expect to get fromSocial Security? How muchmore could you get if youworked a year longer? Twoyears? What about yourspouse, if you are married?And are you saving enough inaddition to your expected So-cial Security benefits? By simply visiting www.socialsecurity.gov, you canget answers to all of thesequestions. You will find sev-eral financial planning tools,including our easy-to-useand secure Retirement Esti-mator. You can use it to getquick retirement estimatesbased upon your own earn-ings record. It’s like trainingcamp for financial planning. All you have to do is pro-

vide some information aboutyourself to verify who you arefor security purposes—yourname, Social Security num-ber, date and place of birth,your mother’s maiden name,and an estimate of your lastyear’s earnings. The Retire-ment Estimator will then cre-ate Social Security benefitestimates based on your en-tire career earnings record. The Retirement Estimatorshows what you could receivein Social Security benefits ifyou retire at age 62, what youcould receive at your full re-tirement age, and what youcould receive if you workuntil age 70. Interested in other playoptions, such as what willhappen if you made moremoney in the future? Or ifyou want to stop work at adifferent age than the threewe show you? You can try outalternate game plans usingthe Retirement Estimator ifyou change your mind aboutyour initial retirement plans. The last thing you want todo is depend on a “Hail Mary”pass when it comes to yourretirement. With a good gameplan, you will score a retire-ment touchdown. Remember what one offootball's most accomplishedand respected coaches, VinceLombardi, said: “There’s onlyone way to succeed in any-thing, and that is to give iteverything.” So give every-thing you have to developingthe playbook for your retire-ment. And the best place tobegin your game plan for asuccessful retirement is atwww.socialsecurity.gov.

Ways to Start Good Sleeping Habits EarlyRussell Child Development

Center is forever focused onthe facilitation of positive out-comes for young children.Healthy habits, both socialand emotional, are instru-mental in this process. Weenjoy sharing informationwith families on simple waysto implement healthy habitsat home with everyday activi-ties and routines. This monthwe would like to pass alongsome tips adapted from oneof our favorite online resources, www.zerotothree.org, on establishing healthysleep habits in young children.

Keep it routine. Learninghow to predict what will hap-pen next is very important foryoung children as it helpsthem feel secure and in con-trol of their world. Bedtimeroutines help babies learnwhen it’s time to go to sleep.Having a bedtime routinemeans doing the samething—as much as possible—every time you put your babyto sleep.

Read the signs. Watch forthe ways your baby lets youknow he is tired.

Consider what’s going onin your child’s life. There aresituations and events thatcan lead to or worsen sleepproblems (e.g., separationfrom a parent, a new sibling,or a new caregiver). Even exciting milestones, such aslearning a new skill(e.g.,walking), can temporar-ily disrupt your child’s sleep.When this happens, be pa-tient and consistent, and tryto maintain your bedtimeroutine. With time and patience, your child’s sleepwill likely get back on track.

Take into account yourchild’s temperament.Different babies develop self-soothing skills at differentrates and in different ways.

Put baby to sleep when heis awake. Beginning ataround four months of age,you can help your baby learnto fall asleep on his own byputting him to sleep when heis drowsy but not asleep.Learning to fall asleep on hisown also helps him get him-self back to sleep when heawakens in the middle of thenight.

Plan for protests. As yourchild learns to fall asleep onher own, she may cry orprotest. This is very commonas it is a big change for her.So it’s important to have aplan for how to respond whenshe cries out for you, whichnaturally can be very distressing.

Be consistent. Time andpatience are needed whenteaching your child any newskill. Consistency helps chil-dren learn what to expect.

Love the “lovey.” For chil-dren over age one, a lovey(e.g., a treasured stuffed ani-mal or soft blanket) can be animportant part of a child’sbedtime routine.

Turn off the TV. Watchingtelevision together doesn’toften work well as a bedtimeroutine. The goal of the bedtime routine is to helpchildren relax and get readyfor bed. TV shows are oftennoisy and stimulating, whichmakes it difficult for childrento wind down.

FORMER JAIL—This brick building was con-structed in November 1927 and was used as thecounty jail until August 31. It replaced the orig-inal jail which was a frame building. Jail cageswere taken from the first jail and were used in

Communica-tions internships provide aunique opportunity to learnabout how political communica-tions and the legislative processintersect, and gain practicalknowledge about the innerworkings of a fast-paced pressoffice.

The intern program is open toqualified undergraduate and

graduate students—or recentgraduates—who have strong in-terest in public service and gov-ernment and have achievedacademic excellence. Applicantsfor a communications internshipshould possess exceptional writ-ing and communication skills,knowledge of AP style, experi-ence in digital media, and followcurrent events closely.

The traditional bonfireevent was anything but tradi-tional this year. With all theathletic teams receiving theIce Bucket Challenge for ALS,the athletes were soon acooler, wet mess. The cheer-leaders then became realmesses with the pie throwing.

People of all ages steppedup to the plate and coveredthe six cheerleaders and theirfour special guests: ZetaGreene, Jeff Braun, SuzanneMurray and Gardell Schnable, with various piesand Jell-O products.

Finally the evening endedwith the lighting of the bon-fire, complete with a fewspectacular fireworks thrownin and closely monitored bythe Rolla Fire Department. Itprovided a school spiritboosting atmosphere andeveryone who attendedseemed to be having a goodtime.

the local stores and there is abig roaster out front of freshlygrilled green chile peppers.Late summer is typical for har-vesting. It is important to un-derstand the different varietiesof peppers in order to under-stand the heat that comes withthem.

Anaheim or CaliforniaGreen peppers are commonlymild. They go by their samename when ripened and driedinto red chilies. Even thoughthey are typically mild, therecan be some variety in heat.They are great for making ChileVerde.

Chili Rellenos is the dishmost commonly made from thePoblano pepper. It is a Poblanopepper that is roasted, stuffedwith cheese, dipped in an eggbatter, and fried till crispy witha creamy cheese interior. ThePoblano pepper is wider thanthe Anaheim and is a darker

green, and usually a little hot-ter as well. When ripe theyturn a reddish-brown colorand are sweeter than whenthey are green. When dried it isknown as an ancho chili.

Each year over Labor Daythe small town of Hatch, N.M.,celebrates the green chile pep-pers from their area known asHatch chiles. They look verymuch like the Anaheim or Cal-ifornia pepper, but pack waymore heat. They have similaruses in cooking, but you don’twant to confuse the two if youdon’t want the heat.

The Chilaca green chile pep-per is dark green like thepoblano, but it is much nar-rower. It is six to eight incheslong and blackish-brown incolor. It is medium hot intaste, and good for use insauces. When dried, it isknown as the pasilla chile.

And finally, we have ourjalapeno and serrano chiles.Although jalapeno are green

like the other peppers, theycan be very hot depending onthe variety. The primary sourceof the heat is in the seeds andthe white pith. This is causedby capsaicin, a powerful phy-tochemical. By cleaning anddiscarding the seeds and whitepith you can remove a greatdeal of the heat. Always re-member it is wise to wearkitchen gloves when cleaninghot peppers. Serrano peppersturn scarlet then yellow as theymature.

Getting back to those deli-cious roasted green chilies:peel off the charred skin andput them on top of hamburg-ers, make them into a greenchili stew, or chop them andtop an omelette. There are lotsof wonderful ways to enjoythem. In fact, this deliciousfood is regional and unique,and lots of people across thecountry don’t get to enjoy theirfresh delicious taste!
