Insight After 45 years covering agriculture in Kansas and Missouri, I will “pull the pin” (retire) from Kansas Farm Bureau January 31. I’ll put my pen in the desk drawer, close my computer, hang up my camera and turn off the phone. Don’t worry - “Insight” will continue. But I will not forget this vocation of agriculture and, more importantly, the men, women and children who call this vocation their own. Who knows? After a few months I may put pen to paper and write about this most honorable profession once more. The opportunity to advocate on behalf of agriculture for 45 years has given me a reason to believe. No other career I could have embarked on would have fulfilled my inner need to remain connected to a life I was born into 70 years ago in northwestern Kansas. My family and four others literally carved the community of Angelus out of the prairie during the waning years of the nineteenth century. Before settling in northwestern Kansas, they’d settled in up-state New York by way of Germany in the early 1830s. From there they moved to a small farm near Milwaukee, Wi. A decade later, on to Wein, Mo. and finally the short-grass prairie on the great High Plains. Growing up in a family of hard working, dedicated German and French immigrants, I was destined to “tell the story of agriculture.” I will carry a place in my heart for the farmers and ranchers who remain a part of this vocation as long as I inhabit
A reason to believe this old world. After four decades of writing a weekly column, starting “Kansas Living” magazine, producing “Insight” on the radio, “Voice of Ag” radio spots, writing speeches for three Kansas Farm Bureau presidents, video production and managing KFB’s print media department, far too many events occurred to mention them all. Here are a few highlights: Droughts, killing freezes, brutal winters with blizzards and loss of livestock, farm bills including the Freedom to Farm spearheaded by Kansas’s own Senator Roberts, Russia’s Boris Yeltsin cutting wheat at the Rau farm in Sedgwick County followed by a visit from the white combine. The advent of animal welfare including PETA and HSUS, Waters of the United States in a semi-arid western Kansas, the over appropriation of irrigation out of the Ogallala Aquifer, yearly Governor’s tours, Farm Bureau members lobbying congress in D.C. led by KFB President John Junior Armstrong in ’78. So much history, so much fun and so many wonderful farm families. The opportunity to visit farms and ranches in all 105 counties. The chance to visit with members – in their pickups, combines or drive through a pasture filled with fleshy momma cow-calf pairs – as they proudly showed me their farms and shared the intimate details of their lives and livelihood. I also witnessed the sorrow and pained hurt in the eyes of a wheat farmer a few minutes after a hailstorm
rarely sat still and always wanted to be working, helping, doing anything to contribute. He made many beautiful things in his lifetime: clocks, furniture, stained glass, and could fix just about anything "good as new". He enjoyed travel especially to the family vacation home in Colorado which was a special place to him and he was so fortunate to make one last trip this past summer which meant the world to him. Mr. Parsons touched many lives with his shining personality. Even during the last months of his life while suffering with Alzheimer's he was helping and looking after others and never forgot to extend thanks for all the help and kindness shown to him. He will be sorely missed by his friends and family. Survivors include his wife of 59 years, Diane Marlene; his oldest daughter April Louise Parsons and husband Dale Fessler of Houston, Tx.; son David Benjamin Parsons and wife Tiffany and their two children, Paige and Hannah; and his youngest daughter Sharon Braddy and husband Wendell and their two children, Cameron and Chandler Cunningham. Roger was preceded in death by his parents Benjamin Wesley and Aldora Christiana Smith Parsons; his brothers, Wesley Wayne and Philip Harold Parsons; and his sisters, Marjorie Corinne Persinger and Dorothy Christiana Parker. Memorials are welcome and should be directed to the First Presbyterian Church, Alzheimer's Association or Community Hospice Fort Worth.
By John Schlageck, Senior Editor/Writer, Kansas Farm Bureau hammered his crop into the ground. Followed by his vision and hope for the next great year. I’ll never forget and always cherish these moments. I will remember always the friendships forged with farmers and ranchers throughout Kansas. We all share a love of this business of agriculture, each other and our Farm Bureau organization. This continues to make Farm Bureau the best. We care on a personal level. Our families and lives became intertwined. We share common concerns. Kansas agriculture remains a moving target, always changing. What’s right for you, may be wrong for me. Still, in Farm Bureau, we work together to find solutions for our shared industry. At the end of the day, week, month or year, we love our great organization. We’re unafraid to tilt at windmills like the brave Don Quixote. We toil behind the scenes “to finish the task,” driven by dedicated farm and ranch leaders and dedicated staff, we make a difference in the agricultural vocation. While it may seem like a long, hard road, it’s been an exhilarating ride. One I wouldn’t change for anything. I’m truly honored and humbled to have served with each one of you. God bless. John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas. Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas, his writing reflects a lifetime of experience, knowledge and passion.

The German Afrika Corps in Alva, Ok. Part 3 During my trips around the room, I noticed a tall former POW sitting off to himself, obviously reflecting on things that happened in Africa and America over a half century before. He had a bit more of an aristocratic bearing than most, and the other ex-POWs seemed to be avoiding him. The man didn’t speak a word of English, but by using my rusty German, and supplementing it with significant amounts of sign language, I was able to make out that his name was Egon Uhlmann, he too had been in the Afrika Corps, and that he had been the driver of a car for a German general. He often mentioned the name of Rommel.
Soon some of the other POWs who spoke passable English joined us, and confirmed that Egon had indeed been the former staff car driver for Erwin Rommel. One of Egon’s most important non-driving responsibilities had been to keep an adequate supply of ammunition in the car for German MG 42 machine guns, which became known to American GIs as “Hitler’s buzz saw.” Each MG 42 devoured ammunition at a mind numbing rate of up to 1,500 rounds a minute – which was over twice that of American machine guns. Due to the intense heat being generated during firing, the gun was generally supplied with two rapid change barrels and asbestos gloves. Barrels
could be changed in less than ten seconds. A German military fighting unit of the time would perhaps have three or four of MG 42 teams providing the majority of its firepower. Most of the other personnel in the unit were supplied with slow firing bolt action rifles, and their job was to protect and support the MG 42 teams. In contrast, an American fighting unit counted on its firepower to be supplied by most of its personnel being outfitted semi-automatic with weapons (such as the Garand M-1), which were in turn supported by much slower firing machine guns. While the majority of former POWs tended to be a bit forward socially, Egon was a

Protect your personal information – online and off – for Data Privacy Day It seems like almost every week we hear a new story about a company’s data being hacked. That data often includes personal information about its customers. We’ve also heard stories about social media sites that have shared our personal information with third parties, and that information is being used to target consumers for advertising and other services that we may not want. With the incredible volume of information about us that’s out there, it’s more important than ever to take whatever steps you can to secure your information. January 28, we recognized Data Privacy Day, which is a good reminder to take a few minutes to review your own data security measures. While there’s no foolproof way to avoid becoming a victim of a data breach, there are steps you can take to make yourself less vulnerable to having your information taken and misused. Here are a few tips: • Phishing scams. In a phishing scam, an identity thief will send you an email pretending to be your bank, credit card company or another place of business. The email may look official, even containing your bank’s logo.
But this is just a scam to gain access to your online accounts. If you use online banking, always go through your bank’s homepage to access your account. Links in emails cannot always be trusted, even if they look official. • Viruses. Scam artists and hackers can also gain access to your system by installing a virus on your computer. These viruses can then record your every action on your computer, including capturing your usernames and passwords to online accounts. Only open files from trusted sources. You should also be sure your antivirus software is up-to-date, and regularly scan your system for viruses. • Social Media. We share a lot of information online with our friends and family members. This is a great way to keep in touch with these people, but it can also be a window into our personal lives that you may not wish to open to everyone. Take the time to review your privacy settings for the websites and apps that you use and be cautious with what information you choose to share online. • Electronic devices.
Thieves are always on the lookout for electronics, especially when they are left inside a car. When a thief gets hold of a laptop computer or smartphone, they don’t just get the device itself, but may be able to access the personal information stored on it. Use strong passwords to lock your computer and smartphone and keep them stored in a safe location when not in use. You may also want to put another level of password protection on sensitive files and applications. • Physical files. Even with all the information that has been digitized, most of us still have many paper files that contain significant personal information. It’s important to keep these documents in a secure place in our homes and offices, and to properly destroy them when they’re no longer needed. Later this spring, our office will be sponsoring several events across the state to help you safely dispose of personal information. If you’ve become the victim of identity theft, our office is available to help. Visit our consumer website at www.InYourCornerKansas.o rg to file a complaint or to learn more about how to keep your personal information safe.
quiet pensive man, who spent most of the reunion by himself. He and I had lunch a day after the reunion, and we exchanged addresses in order to keep in touch. Afterwards when we exchanged letters, he wrote to me from his home in Germany, and his villa in Spain. His handwriting was not easy to read, and he often was apologetic that such was the case. Marlisse Weber offered to help me when I was unable to make out parts of his letters. Egon was in the process of getting a typewriter when his letters stopped coming in the year 2000. Today I cannot view the lone red and cement-grey watchtower still standing from scanty remains of the Alva POW camp without thinking of him.

Kansas Weekly Gas Prices Gas Buddy.com
Hugoton Gas Prices As of Tuesday, January 29 Brown Dupree - $2.03 Eagles Landing - $2.01 Kangaroo Express -$2.05 Carter’s - $2.29 Toot N Totum - $2.05 Gasoline prices in Kansas are unchanged in the past week, averaging $1.97 per gallon Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 1,329 stations in Kansas. This compares with the national average that is unchanged versus last week to $2.25 per gallon, according to GasBuddy. Average gasoline prices on January 28 in Kansas have ranged widely over the last five years: $2.42 per gallon in 2018, $2.16 per gallon in 2017, $1.59 per gallon in 2016, $1.83 per gallon in 2015 and $3.11 per gallon in 2014.
Including the change locally during the past week, prices Sunday were 45.2 cents per gallon lower than a year ago and are 0.6 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has dropped 2.0 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 31.6 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. "The national average saw limited upward movement in the last week, while the lowest price stations overall were the locations that saw prices tick higher. The percent of gas stations in the U.S. selling under $2 per gallon fell from 37% to 27% over the last week as oil prices hold above $53 per barrel. We're also starting to see early refineries begin seasonal maintenance, which may aid prices moving
higher in the weeks ahead," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "Part of where gas prices go from here and how quickly depends on whether or not politicians can make a long-term budget agreement. Another prolonged shutdown will hurt the economy and likely keep gas prices more muted. In addition, watch for any progress of a broad trade deal with China. Even the sub-zero temperatures upcoming in many areas could play a role in gasoline prices, diesel prices and heating oil: it may keep Americans at home, using more heavy oils to heat their home."

Countless geese assemble at the sanitation ponds north of Hugoton. Usually geese make their way south for the winter but southwest Kansas probably isn’t south enough. The area’s
temperatures this month have been fluctuating enough that these birds are probably more than a little confused.
Notes from Nancy by Stevens County FACS Agent Nancy Honig
Power Outage Issues It is winter, and with the brutal cold that parts of the U.S. are experiening this week, there will be power outages. Just last weekend we were at my in-laws and there was a large multicounty outage for about four hours. Unfortunately, with power outages, refrigerated and frozen foods inside your refrigerator and freezer can become susceptible to foodborne contaminants in just a few hours. When the power goes out, the clock starts ticking on the viability of meats, seafood, ice cream, cut produce, and even leftover pizza. According to the USDA, bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter can grow within minutes of food entering the "Danger Zone" - the range of temperatures between 40°F and 140°F. The insulation in freezers and refrigerators are your best allies during a power failure, as long as you don´t undermine them. "One advantage of winter storms is that we often have 24 hours or more of advance warning," said Londa Nwadike, a food safety specialist with K-State Research and Extension and the University of Missouri. "This allows you to take some pre-emptive steps to preserve your foods." A refrigerator in good working order can maintain its temperature for about four hours; a full, reliable deep freezer can keep food frozen as long as 48 hours. Nwadike said there are small

cheats that can help stretch your advantage. * A full freezer will maintain its temperature longer than a freezer that’s only half full. * Fill in the gaps - If you know a winter storm or blizzard is on the way, consider moving as much as possible from the refrigerator to the freezer. Leftover pot roast, tuna casserole, and plastic bottles of fruit juice will keep these foods in a colder environment, and helps fill empty spaces in the freezer. You can also use water bottles, plastic gallon jugs of water, plastic storage containers filled with water. Just get them frozen before the power goes out. * Keep doors shut! Don’t open the refrigerator or freezer to peek in and check to see what the temperature is - just leave them closed. You can use a cooler to hold things, such as milk and other items you will continue to need multiple times daily which also prevents opening the refrigerator door. The next question is: Keep it or toss it? The USDA provides a handy, printable 12page guide detailing which foods are most vulnerable (meats, seafood, dairy, ice cream) and which are a bit more stable (whole fruits and vegetables, condiments, hard block cheese). Find it with this link: https://www.fsis.usda.gov/w ps/wcm/connect/f0c8da84-
9a44-4285-98938caefa9a23b4/Severe_Storm s_and_Hurricanes_Guide.pd f? or call the Extension Office for a copy. When checking the freezer ice can be a good indicator. "If an item is still frozen solid, or if you can still feel ice crystals, that’s a good thing," Nwadike said. "But whatever you do, don’t taste something and think, ‘Well, if it tastes OK, it’s still good.’ Bacteria doesn’t always reveal itself that way." The mantra I have used for years is: When in doubt, throw it out. Some homeowners insurance providers will cover a certain amount of food loss that results from a power outage. You can check with your insurance provider to find out what is covered, and what kind of documentation will be required to make a claim. Even if the loss of food creates a financial hardship, it pales in comparison to the risks of consuming unsafe, contaminated food. Some foodborne illnesses can result in a costly hospital stay, if not death. Kansas State University, County Extension Councils, Extension Districts, and U.S. Department of Agriculture Cooperating.

The American Legion Boys State of Kansas Leadership Academy is now taking applications for its 2019 session. The event, which will be in its eighty-second year, will be Sunday, June 2, through Friday, June 7, at Kansas State University in Manhattan. The ALBSKLA is for young men who will enter their senior year of high school in the fall of 2019. It provides a relevant, interactive, problemsolving experience in leadership and teamwork that develops self-identity, promotes mutual respect and instills civic responsibility. Boys State is a “learning by doing” political exercise that simulates elections, political parties and government at the state, county and local levels, providing opportunities to lead under pressure, showcasing character and working effectively within a team. It’s also an opportunity to gain pride and respect for government and the price paid by members of the military to preserve democracy.
At a minimum, applicants should be in the top half of their high school class and be involved in extracurricular activities in their school and community. Potential delegates can also be nominated to attend by their high school counselor or other influential people in their lives. There is a cost to attend the Boys State of Kansas program; however, in many instances, sponsors pay for the majority of the fees, with the delegate or his family paying an applicant fee. Those wishing to apply to the program should visit http://kansasboysstate.com/ to fill out an application, due by Tuesday, April 30, along with the fees to guarantee a spot in the program. Potential sponsors, such as American Legion posts, civic organizations, businesses, clubs and interested individuals, or those with questions, should contact Troy Fowler, ALBSKLA director of operations, at troy.fowler@ksb state.org.

Memories from yesteryear
Daisy and Oliver Wayne ( Babe) Mill’s wedding picture taken in 1918. They were married at Liberal. Taken from the Stevens County and Its People published in 1979.
“Babe” Mills family By Joan Mills Popejoy Oliver Wayne “Babe” Mills was born in Trego County, Kansas, in January 1891. He came to Stevens County in 1906 with his parents, Harvey and Laura Mills. He was engaged in farming when he met his future wife, Daisy Bryan Wilcox Delay. Daisy was born in Decherd, Tennessee in 1900. Her parents Kenneth and Emma Wilcox died in 1903 of consumption. Daisy and her brother Floyd were adopted by their aunt and uncle Clemmie and Alvin Delay at their mother’s request before her death. Daisy recalls the trip to Kansas as hard and long. She vividly remembers crossing the Canadian River. The water was so deep that the horses had to swim and pull the buggy and spring wagon across. She also recalls the first time she met Babe Mills. She was walking home from a neighbor’s house in south Stevens County, when Babe
came along in his Model T car and offered her a ride. About a year later, they were married at Liberal June 19, 1918. Babe farmed with his brother Lorel for six years, and during this time Babe and Daisy had their first son, Earl Delay Mills. In 1924, farming wasn’t going too well so they moved to Hugoton, and Babe and Loral bought a grocery store called “Mills Brothers Grocery”. During this time another son, Donald Joe, was born to Babe Daisy. The grocery store was sold in 1927 because people couldn’t afford to pay for the groceries they had charged. They decided to try farming again and bought the homestead located nine miles east and three south of Hugoton. They lived there for 18 years and had four more children: Jerry Wayne, Ruth Janell, Shirley Joan and Mervin Douglas. During the 1930’s, times Babe were very hard. worked at odd jobs, and Daisy sold eggs and cream so
This is a photo of “Babe” Mills’ children. Front row, left to right are Don Mills, Mrs. Don Mills and Doug Mills. On the back row, left to right are Janell, Jerry and Joan. Taken from the Stevens County and Its People published in 1979. they wouldn’t lose their land. The dust storms were fierce. Daisy recalls one in 1936 that was so bad that she had to hold onto the children and light a coal oil lamp in midday. Their son Earl was out on a horse a few miles from home and had to let the horse find the way home. After the depression was over, times were prosperous, and Babe was a successful

History from the Hermes by Ruthie Winget
Thursday, February 5, 2004 Michael Begley and Derek Schnittker walked away with the gold medals following the youth wrestling tournament in Ulysses. Logan Livengood, Colton Lissolo, David Kurt and Drake Lewis each earned a silver. Lawson Fiss gained a bronze. Thursday, February 2, 1989 A new book, “From Horseback to Cadillac, I’m still a Cowboy” by Pep Redd had brought a pithy chronicle of the west from 1914 to the
Feeling Lost?
1980’s to the public. Pep Redd was the founder and owner of Redd Beef Feeders, now Sunbelt Feeders. The book is Redd’s collections of his childhood and his later exploits as a sheepherder, uranium mine owner and cattleman. Much of his later experiences deal with Stevens County and its citizens. It took Redd 12 years to complete the 368 page book which captures a glimpse of the wild west before it became subdivided, so to speak. The longtime Hugoton resident starts his story with some interesting recounts of early Mormon settlements in Utah. Pep’s grandparents
were part of the famous “Hole in the Rock” settlers who struck out to begin a new settlement in southeast Utah. Excitement is found sandwiched between recounts of the struggle in the sheep and cattle business. Pep must have been where the action was for one story was about a shooting in Satanta when they were living in Moscow and running sheep. Many Hugoton people are well acquainted with his daughter Sally Johnson. Thursday, February 8, 1959 Virgil Merle Cox, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bur Cox enlisted in the United States Navy January 23. He will take recruit training at San
Diego, Ca. Friday, February 11, 1949 Kenneth Whetstone is expected to be released from the Liberal Hospital after being there for treatment of injuries received in a fall while working on a gas well rig. It seems he was working with the drill stem and it got caught in the cat line which threw him off the rig platform. He landed on his head and shoulders. His neck was injured and he suffered a sprained wrist and other bruises.

Museum Curator Stanley McGill brought in these copies of Western Union telegrams to Kansas Governor John A. Martin. They were taken from the archives of the Governor John Martin collection. A copy of the telegrams can be seen at the museum. Western Union telegram to Kansas Governor John A. Martin dated July 1, 1888: Hugoton people have guards out every night. There are too many armed people in this country. Everybody talks peace, yet a
firecracker would provoke an outbreak. A proclamation ought to be issued commanding these people to disarm. I shall in the name of the state demand that the marshall of Hugoton and Woodsdale be discharged. Adjutant General Campbell need not come. We will visit the scene of the battle tomorrow. We go to Woodsdale this afternoon. S.B. Bradford Attorney General Western Union telegram to Kansas Governor John A. Martin dated July 3, 1888:
From information gained at this point, I am of the opinion that the situation in Stevens County is unchanged. It is reported that both parties are under arms at a point eighteen miles this side of Hugoton but I doubt if we start army action for Hugoton.

This will be a little of this and a little of that, as this resident has not decided what to write about. The Talent Show brought some very nice entries. Another poem from our talented writer, two paintings, nicely framed, and a beautiful doll with a long full skirt made from a telephone book. The creator revealed the number pages and that every number in the book was for a floral shop! There were a pair of lovely embroidered pillowcases and several lovely cross stitch entries. There was a hand drawn eagle, done as a gift to a resident from a worker, and a very well colored picture. Coloring has become such a pleasant pastime for many in recent years. Except for one “joke”, read by a resident, those were the entries. If any items
were omitted from that list, it was definitely unintentional. Thank you to everyone who entered and to remind everyone: Be creative, share your talent at the next show. Quite a lot of activity has been observed as some painting is being done and the nurse’s station areas are undergoing some renovation. It will be interesting to see the completion of these projects. This resident wishes to join others in wishing all those (workers and resi-
dents) who have been ill a continued recovery. Hope you are all feeling much better and will be soon gaining back strength. January 29 was Kansas Day. With a Democratic Governor now, there probably won’t be the usual celebrations in Topeka. Our state turned 158, January 29, 2019. This resident is a Sunflower from the Sunflower State!

Kansas Fall and Spring Hunting Atlases have been combined
The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) reminds hunters not to discard their 2018-19 Kansas Hunting Atlases. Unlike past years, there will be no spring atlas printed in 2019. All fall and spring Walk-in Hunting Access (WIHA) tracts are included in the atlas printed and distributed last August. Additional copies are available from KDWPT offices and will be distributed as needed to license outlets this spring in time for the spring turkey season. But hunters should also go to www.ksoutdoors.com, under “Where To Hunt,” to find maps that include tracts that were enrolled after the printed atlas was completed. Due to a late-summer push for new enrollments, more
than 20,000 acres were added and are included on these electronic maps. The atlas’ legend shows color codes that designate tracts open only in the fall, tracts open in both spring and fall and tracts open only during the spring turkey season. Again this year, more than 1 million acres are enrolled. The WIHA program was initiated in 1996 when 36,000 acres were enrolled. The program was popular with hunters and landowners and quickly grew, reaching the million-acre mark by 2004. That level of access has been sustained ever since. The newest part of the program is called iWIHA and is designed to increase enrollment in urban counties and provide high quality experiences by

Hunters can check an area’s status the night before and check in, knowing that access will be limited. For details on the iWIHA program, go to https://ksoutdoors.com/Hu n t i n g / H u n t i n g Programs/iWIHA-LimitedAccess-Hunts. Hunters looking for qual-

NSP to hold Risk Management Workshops National Sorghum Producers will hold two free half-day risk management workshops for producers of all crops February 5 in Garden City and February 6 in Perryton, Tx. The workshops, made possible by a grant from USDA Risk Management Agency, are designed to assist producers in mitigating production and marketing risk during extreme market volatility through training on crop insurance strategies and whole farm revenue protection. The speakers at both events bring years of experience in their fields, and their
expertise covers a variety of crops. “These workshop will provide tremendous educational value to not only sorghum producers but producers of all crops,” John Duff, NSP strategic business director, said. “With the small margins we’re seeing on the farm, now more than ever, active risk management proves vitally important.” The February 5 workshop will take place in Garden City at the Golf Club at Southwind from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. Speakers include Tom Sell of Combest, Sell & Associates, Art Barnaby of Kansas State
University, John Miller of Southwest Agribusiness Consulting and Chris Cogburn of National Sorghum Producers. The February 6 workshop will be in Perryton at the Ochiltree County Expo Center from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Speakers include Tom Sell of Combest, Sell & Associates, Joe Outlaw of Texas A&M University, John Miller of Southwest Agribusiness and Chris Consulting Cogburn of National Sorghum Producers. “The tools and knowledge provided in the workshops can help producers in multi-
ple situations,” Duff said. “I highly recommend producers take advantage of this opportunity.” More detailed information about each day’s agenda can be found at sorghumgrowers.com/rma. National Sorghum Producers represents U.S. sorghum producers and serves as the voice of the sorghum industry coast to coast through legislative representation, regulatory representation and education.

Marijuana is Cannabis sativa with a THC content greater than 0.3 percent. THC is the chemical intoxicant found in the plant. Marijuana grown in states where it is permitted as a legal drug, usually has a much, much higher THC level than industrial hemp. D.W. Williams, Plant and Soil Scientist from the University of Kentucky, describes the difference between industrial hemp and marijuana to be similar to the difference between sweet corn and field corn. Yes, sweet corn and field corn are both Zea mays L., but the biochemistry is very different between the two. The same is true for marijuana and industrial hemp. Following are a few details as outlined in K-State’s Industrial hemp fact sheets. Please note that the Kansas Dept. of Ag website should always be consulted for the most up-to-date information on regulations and fees. The IH program is a pilot research program. All applications must have a research component. Residents of Kansas who have obtained a license from KDA can participate in the pilot research program. There are separate licenses (and fees) needed depending on a person’s level
of involvement. A license to grow IH is $1000. A license to distribute is $2,000. $3,000 to process fiber and grain and $6,000 to harvest IH for the floral component of the plant where cannabidiol or CBD is obtained. Applications for licenses can be found at: https://agriculture.ks.gov/di visions-programs/plantprotect-weed-control/in dustrial-hemp. Applications should be available in early February and are due on March 1 for the 2019 growing season. Fingerprinting and a background check is required to obtain a license. An application fee of $200 will be charged as well as $47 for the background check. Fingerprinting charges vary, but average $20. Every person who touches the crop, in any capacity, must be listed on the application and therefore, must

Market Report
by Stevens County Extension Agent Ron Honig - Agriculture and Natural Resources Industrial Hemp in Kansas By now we have all heard lots of discussion about new laws in Kansas allowing the growing of industrial hemp (IH) on a limited, research basis. Those discussions may or may not have been based on fact. Kansas State University horticulturists and agronomists have compiled two fact sheets containing the basic information explaining details related to the growth of industrial hemp and the regulations currently in place in Kansas regarding the growth of IH. K-State also offers a webpage with a number of links to information resources dedicated to industrial hemp production and laws. This page includes links to the Kansas Department of Ag’s (KDA) hemp regulations and timelines for implementation of those regulations, as well as answers to frequently asked questions. You may also find a number of video recordings of presentations given by IH researchers, entomologists, or other experts in the field of industrial hemp. All this information can be found at https://www.northwest.kstate.edu/agronomy/indus trial_hemp_resources.html. First off, industrial hemp is Cannabis sativa grown for fiber, grain, or resin with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content of 0.3 percent or less (in Kansas).

The Hugoton Hermes | Thursday, January 31, 2019 |1B
Eagles battle Liberal into overtime for exciting Homecoming game Hugoton hosted the Liberal Redskins for their Winter Homecoming night last Friday, January 25. Despite a heroic effort from the Eagles, HHS fell to the visiting team in a nailbiter 61-62. The first quarter, both teams stayed relatively close, with Hugoton scoring six and Liberal at nine. Both teams ramped up production in the second quarter, earning an additional 14 points for the Redskins and 19 for HHS. Hugoton’s team went into half time with the two-point lead 25-23. After the half, both teams came out swinging as Liberal again claimed the lead by scoring 15 to Hugoton’s ten for the third quarter. After more back-and-forth between the teams, Hugoton poured in 18 to even the score to 53-all, sending the game into overtime. In overtime, Liberal scored nine, while Hugoton was only able to tally eight.
Liberal’s team outdid Hugoton in several aspects, but the Eagles ended up converting twice as many transition points as the Redskins, and also scored ten more “second chance” points than Liberal. HHS’s boys also scored an impressive 30 points in the paint, and pulled down 18 offensive rebounds. Defensively, Hugoton and Liberal were close with rebounds, with 20 and 21 respectively. Carlos Montiel scored 14, and Damian Lewis was close behind with 12. Michael Mirabal and Fernando Luna both had a good night, recording ten and eight points respectively. Carlos also had nine rebounds. Hugoton will next travel to Scott City Friday, February 1 to compete against the Beavers. Boys’ JV will play at 4:45, with boys’ C team at 6:30 p.m. and varsity taking the court at 8:00 p.m.
Hugoton High School’s 2019 Winter Homecoming Queen Luz Romo is joined by King Cole Martin at Friday night’s game.
Carlos Montiel snakes his shot under the basket to try for two at Friday’s Homecoming game.
Ladies can’t calm “Angry Red” LHS The Lady Eagles ran into the “Angry Red” Lady Redskins and came out on the short end 31-52 at the homecoming game this past Friday. Liberal moved up to Class 6A from 5A this season and are undefeated and ranked fifth in 6A so it was most definitely a formidable task for the Lady Eagles with Liberal making sure there would be no upset. Liberal’s recent growth to a powerhouse team resembles Hugoton’s path to championships - where freshmen were inserted into varsity starting roles as youngsters and they learned to play quicker, faster, smarter and more physical. Team members are also willing to take their early losses and use them as opportunities to get better. So this season Liberal’s best players are juniors and seniors who have played at the varsity level for two seasons or more. That fact clearly showed in Friday’s game.
Sophomore Jordyn Beard continued her “double-double” streak by leading the Lady Eagles with 12 points and 11 rebounds. She has scored a double-double in eight of the 11 games played this season. Lady Eagles’ fans haven’t seen a double-double player like this since Dallie Hoskinson’s playing days. Beard also blocked four shots and intimidated quite a few other shots, forcing them to miss. McKenna Hamlin hit two three’s and scored eight points but no other player had more than three for the team. There won’t be much practice time over the remainder of the season as there are at least two games every week from here on in with Tuesday, January 29 at home against a 4A-State ranked Ulysses team and Friday, February 1 on the road at Scott City. The following week will find the Lady Eagles on the road for three games - Garden City, Colby and Goodland.

The Kansas Department of Commerce, in partnership with KANSASWORKS, will host the KANSASWORKS Statewide Job Fair Thursday, March 7. The annual job fair will provide employers, Veterans, and job seekers with the unique opportunity to connect face-to-face. “Meeting the workforce needs of Kansas employers is a primary goal for this Department,” said Interim Kansas Department of Commerce Secretary Robert North. “The Statewide Job Fair offers the opportunity to unite the businesses we work so closely with to the skilled and valuable employees they need to fill crucial positions within their companies.” The Statewide Job Fair is also an opportunity for Veterans of any status and their families to meet with a variety of employers in various industries and fields. Veterans at any stage in their career search are invited, including active duty, reservists, or National Guard. “The Kansas workforce is made up of talented, highlyskilled individuals with a passion and drive that brings
an inherent value to everything they do,” said Mike Beene, Kansas Department of Commerce Director of Employment Services. “Our workers make up the fabric of this state, holding it together through their commitments to hard work and excellence.” The event will take place at 11 different locations across the state, including Colby, El Dorado, Independence, Kansas City, Lawrence, Leavenworth, Manhattan, Overland Park, Salina, Topeka and Wichita. The job fair will be open to all job seekers from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m.

Rolla - Richfield - Dermot
From page 1
about twenty minutes before classes start, and don’t get out of school until 4:00 p.m. The driving everyday did bother me at the beginning, but I kept telling myself I chose wisely in schools. My parents wanted me and my siblings to go to school in Guymon, Ok., but we decided against it. Going to school in Rolla, a rather small town, was the best decision I have ever made. The attention that the teachers give each student is unbelievable. Certiport: Rolla High School has been a great choice for you, especially since you were able to get involved in certification. Nayeli: For sure! Through the computer class in my high school, I was able to earn my MOS Word 2013, Excel 2013, PowerPoint 2013, and PowerPoint 2016 certifications. I even went on and became a State Champion in PowerPoint 2013 and qualified to attend the Certiport 2017 MOS U.S. National Championship in Orlando, Fl. Going to the National Championship was
an eyeopener for me. It showed me I can succeed at anything I put my mind to, especially with incredible support from all my family, teachers and friends. Certiport: That’s an awesome portfolio of certifications! How do you feel like those certifications have helped you in school? Nayeli: In so many ways! I took 15 college credit hours my first semester of my senior year and now I am taking 12 college credits and a CNA course this semester. I’m taking all those college credits on top of my normal high school classes. These certifications have helped me with writing for my College Composition, Medical Terminology, and Introduction to Pharmacy Technician classes. From writing papers, doing calculations in Excel, and making presentations for these college classes, these certifications have made the classes I am taking much easier. Certiport: You’re so busy! Incredible to see how much

Earning my certification and competing in the MOS US National Championship were such amazing experiences. Being able to visit Disney World with my teacher and sister was a trip I will always remember. Certiport: One last question for you. What advice would you give to other students looking to earn their certification and potentially compete in the MOS US National Championship? Nayeli: My piece of advice for everyone is to never give up! I did not get a perfect score until the last day the competition was open. You never know what you can do if you keep pushing yourself.

Certiport: We love hearing about how certification has helped you outside the classroom, and seeing you give awesome kudos to the teacher who got you this far. What are your plans for after high school? Nayeli: I will be attending college, and I am so proud of that! I am a first-generation US citizen, and being here in the US with the chance to go to college means so much to me. I’ve realized that I shouldn’t give up on what I want to achieve in life. My end goal is to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I can’t wait to attend Oklahoma State University in the fall. My family has had some financial challenges. There are times when we live paycheck to paycheck. I’ve worked so hard to keep my grades up and will continue to work hard at school. Ultimately, I know that

Vice President of the Kansas State High School Association Scholars’ Bowl Committee. He also served eight years on the Kansas State High School Association Governing Board. His brother, Gary, also served on the board during the same time. It was the first time siblings had served on the state level board together. The Rolla Scholars’ Bowl teams won State eleven times under his and others’ guidance. He is proud too of his former scholars, Mr. Ryan Burrows and Mrs. Becky Sohm, are now State-winning coaches of their respective schools. Randy served on the Morton County Library Board for eight years and was president when the Morton County Library was built at its current Elkhart location. He was an integral part when the county library board combined resources with the Rolla School District to provide a public library located in Rolla within the school library. He served as the Morton County representative on the regional mental health and guidance board which met for many years in Liberal. Just last month, he completed a four year term as Morton County Commissioner, District One. In June 2004, his life and
plans changed greatly. Within a week, he had four strokes that his neurologist said should have killed him or at least left him incapacitated. After 45 days, he walked out, and the results have been astounding. He was not able to return to full time teaching but until two years ago has been helping with individual students. He still loves to give vocabulary words to any kid willing to whip out their phone and write them down. Oh no, it’s not that easy because the next time he sees them he’ll ask for the definition and expect it to be remembered that day and forever. Along with his vocation and civic duties, he has served and loved the Lord. He has been a member of the First United Methodist Church at Rolla since he was an a young child. One of his greatest enjoyments was his involvement with the Sonshine Singers organized by Randy, Dorothy Milburn and Mary F. Light. Sam Eiland acted as assistant director for many years. The group consisted of junior and senior high students of different denominations who met weekly for practice. They sang and witnessed in sixty-nine places and nine states. These were not the normal choir practices and in-

From page 1 students, his fellow teachers, his friends, and all he has come in contact is unique. Don’t know how he remembers everyone and on top of that who and how they are related. His spouse, Sandy, is very important to him. If you are from Richfield, her name is Sandra. Although technology is not a strong suit for him, he has mastered and loves to stay in contact with many of his students and friends on Facebook. In his adult life, Randy’s occupations were teaching school and coaching. In Rolla, he taught English and coached or was part of the coaching staff for junior and senior high in football, basketball, track and volleyball. Each student and player was important to him and still is. He was one of the pioneers involved in the initiation and development of the Kansas Scholars’ Bowl Association. For a few years, the teams used spoons to bang on the table when they wanted recognized to give an answer. Then they moved to bells fastened on boards. This improvement was made by Mr. Leland Lehnert and his shop class. Before Randy retired, they had moved on to electronic buzzers. Randy served as President and
volved many activities with the youth. Randy and Sandy were also MYF leaders for years. Memories were made, not just in the weekly meetings but also in the Thanksgiving Bake Sales which consisted of making hundreds of baked goods pies, cakes, tea rings, etc. This involved the help of most women in the communities and was supervised by Sheila Kneller. The trips to perform were also great adventures. Colorado and Branson were special as we were gone for several days. In Branson, we stayed in tents, and we cooked our meals over camp fires and did the dishes by boiling water. Randy has enjoyed writing poetry for the last fifty-five years, and he has shared it with many of you. Many of these were first written on sale bills, newspaper pages, napkins or any other piece of paper he could find when words started coming to him. Frequently, this would happen when he was in the Corner Stop at Rolla. Some of you have probably provided one of the pens he borrowed to get the words written down. I don’t know how he could figure out what he had written as he would have to turn the paper this way and that to find the next verse. One of Randy’s highlights of
his vocational career was being selected to the Kansas State High Schools’ Activities Hall of Fame. This happened in 2007, and the only two other members from Morton County are Glenn Cunningham and Thane Baker. Randy loves his community, his county, and the people. He loves family very much. He and Sandy have two kids, the lights of their lives, Andy and his wife Shara, and
Jennifer and her husband Aaron. They have three grandchildren - Noah Bane, Evan Faimon and Abagail Faimon. He enjoyed growing up with his parents and his brother Gary on the farm. We all love our Pioneer Man of Morton County. We think he has made a difference and that Morton County has been also a blessing to us. Thank you for honoring our husband, dad and Papa.

Kansas issues fish consumption advisories for 2019 The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) are issuing fish consumption advisories for 2019. The advisories identify types of fish or other aquatic animals that should be eaten in limited quantities or, in some cases, avoided altogether because of contamination. General advice and Internet resources are also provided to aid the public in making informed decisions regarding the benefits as well as the risks associated with eating locally caught fish from Kansas waters. Definitions: Bottom-feeding fish: buffalos, carp, carpsuckers, catfishes (except blue and flathead catfish), sturgeons, and suckers. Predatory fish: black basses, blue catfish, crappies, drum, flathead catfish, perches, sunfish, white bass, wiper, striper, walleye, saugeye, and sauger. Shellfish: mussels, clams, and crayfish. General Population: Men and women 18 years of age or older. Sensitive Populations: Women who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are nursing and children age 17 or
younger. Meal size (skinless fish fillets before cooking): • Adults and Children age 13 and older = 8 ounces • Children age 6 to 12 = 4 ounces • Children younger than 6 = 2 ounces Statewide Advisories Kansas recommends the following consumption restrictions because of mercury in fish: 1. Sensitive Populations should restrict consumption of all types of locally caught fish, from waters or species of fish not specifically covered by an advisory to one meal per week because of mercury. 2. Largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass (black basses): A. Sensitive Populations should restrict consumption of these species to one meal per month because of mercury. General Public should B. restrict consumption of these species to one meal per week because of mercury. Waterbody specific advisories for all consumers Kansas recommends restricting consumption of bottom-feeding fish to one meal per week from the following location because of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs):
Solution to the January 24, 2019 puzzle
Cow Creek in Hutchinson and downstream to the confluence with the Arkansas River (Reno County); The Kansas River from Lawrence (below Bowersock Dam) downstream to Eudora at the confluence of the Wakarusa River (Douglas and Leavenworth counties); The Little Arkansas River from the Main Street Bridge immediately west of Valley Center to the confluence with the Arkansas River in Wichita (Sedgwick County). Kansas recommends restricting consumption of bottom-feeding fish to one meal per month from the following location because of PCBs: 1. K-96 Lake in Wichita (Sedgwick County). Kansas recommends not eating specified fish or aquatic life from the following locations: 1. The Arkansas River from the Lincoln Street dam in Wichita downstream to the confluence with Cowskin Creek near Belle Plaine (Sedgwick and Sumner counties); bottom-feeding fish because of PCBs. 2. Shoal Creek from the Missouri/Kansas border to Empire Lake (Cherokee County); shellfish because of lead and cadmium. 3. The Spring River from the confluence of Center Creek to the Kansas/Oklahoma border (Cherokee County); shellfish because of lead and cadmium. 4. Antioch Park Lake South in Antioch Park, Overland Park (Johnson County); all fish because of the pesticides dieldrin, heptachlor epoxide, chlordane, and dichlorophenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs). 5. Arkalon Park Lakes in Liberal (Seward County) – Kansas recommends not eating fish or other aquatic life because the lakes are sustained solely by treated municipal wastewater. General advice for eating locally caught fish in Kansas 1. Sensitive populations should consider restricting their total mercury intake for both supermarket fish and locally caught
species. Concerned parents and other persons may wish to consult with a physician about eating fish and mercury exposure. 2. Mercury exposure can be reduced by limiting the consumption of large predatory fish. Larger/older fish of all types are more likely to have higher concentrations of mercury. 3. Avoid the consumption of fish parts other than fillets, especially when eating bottom-feeding fish. Fatty internal organs tend to accumulate higher levels of fat-soluble contaminants such as chlordane and PCBs than fillets. 4. Consumers can reduce their ingestion of fat-soluble contaminants such as chlordane and PCBs by trimming fat from fillets, and cooking in a manner in which fat drips away from the fillet. 5. Avoid subsistence level (relying on wild-caught fish for daily nutritional needs) fishing activities in large rivers within or immediately downstream of large urban/industrial areas and wastewater outfalls. Fish in these areas are more likely to contain traces of chemical contaminants. 6. Kansas recommends not eating fish or aquatic life from surface waters sustained solely by municipal or industrial wastewater because of unknown, yet potentially present pathogens, metals, organic chemicals or other emerging contaminants. This advisory includes consumption of any aquatic life present in wastewater outfalls, waste treatment lagoons or stormwater detention ponds. 7. In waterbodies where watches or warnings related to harmful algae blooms have been applied, fish should be consumed in moderation and care taken to only consume skinless fillets. Avoid cutting into internal organs and rinse fillets with clean water prior to cooking or freezing.
What you need to know about interventions Dealing with loved ones can be difficult sometimes and that only gets harder when they have a problem with drugs and alcohol. A big part of dealing with a loved one's addiction is getting them into treatment. But what if they are unwilling to go? Intervention is the next logical step, however what is an intervention and how you pull one off? Contrary to popular belief, successful interventions usually aren't like the ones you see on TV or in the movie “Hangover 3” with the family sitting around and reading off of notecards. Interventions that are successful usually consist of several different techniques. I hope they help you and your family to have the best chance of saving your loved ones. The first thing is to do your research on a treatment facility. Before an intervention takes place, you need to know where they are going. Once you get someone willing to go to treatment it is imperative they go straight in. When someone is struggling with substance abuse they can waffle on the idea of treatment, so you have to have the facility already picked out so there are no slows or stops on which facility. Adding time in-between when your loved one becomes willing to go and them getting into treatment is deadly. Number two is building your team. An intervention can either be done by the family or by a professional interventionist. A family can choose the family or friends of the addict whom the addict will most likely listen to so it is important those persons are at the intervention. On the other hand, an intervention done by an interventionist is usually conducted on a one-on-one basis, where the interventionist works with the addict alone to get their
agreement to go to treatment. Since a lot of interventionists are ex-addicts themselves, they will have a point of reality with the addict which may facilitate the reach for treatment. In some cases, the interventionist may decide to call in family members but that will be decided by the interventionist. Once you have decided on your team, get them together and go over all the details so everyone is prepared to pull off the intervention. Make sure any family or friends who are involved are all on the same page and have the same goal: getting the addict into treatment. With everyone on the same page, you would then bring in the addict. Approach them kindly and at first try to get them to see how treatment will benefit them. Show them the Web site or brochure of where they are going. It is also a good idea to have someone ready to talk to them from the center to answer any questions they may have. If this doesn't work, you should be prepared to “bottom line” them (give them an ultimatum). An example of a bottom line is, “If you don't go to treatment you aren't staying here anymore.” If they run off and refuse to listen, do not give in. You must hold strong or they won’t take it seriously. Even if they do run, most of the time they will come back and listen and then agree to go to treatment. If you have more questions or want to find out more about getting someone into treatment, read here: https://www. narcononnewliferetreat.org/bl og/intervention-101.html or call 1 800-431-1754 to get help for your loved ones.
