Recent rains for Kansashave eased drought condi-tions for many areas,leading Governor SamBrownback to update theDrought Declaration forKansas counties with anExecutive Order 15-04.For the past year all 105counties have either beenin an emergency, warningor watch status. Thisorder removes approxi-mately the majority of thestate from drought anddowngrades 33 Kansascounties to a watchdrought status. StevensCounty is one of the coun-ties listed in the droughtwatch.

“Kansans need to knowrecent rains have greatlyimproved conditions inour state, but the effects

of drought remain evi-dent,” said GovernorBrownback. “Some areashave been experiencingdrought for almost sixyears and will need manyyears to completely re-cover. While conditionsare improved, we must re-main mindful of the im-portance of water andcontinue to be aware ofwater usage.”

The updated droughtdeclaration has removed72 counties from droughtstatus and downgrades 33into a watch status. Thisaction was recommendedby Tracy Streeter, Directorof the Kansas Water Officeand Chair of the Gover-nor’s Drought Response

Hugoton Recreation tennis courts are resurfaced

The tennis courts at the Hugoton Recreation Commission havebeen refurbished.

liability. Also the lights are ex-pensive to fix. Following muchinvestigation it seems thecounty does own the strip now.Tony said the perfect time to fixthe asphalt correctly will beduring September or Octoberor wait till March or April to letmoisture be completely driedup. Joe expressed his concernthat spraying time will be overby then.

Rodney Kelling stopped byto report for his department.He reported that the law suithas been settled from theburnt firetruck. So he was ask-ing if he could sell the burnedtruck now. Commissioners toldhim he had to take bids. Healso needs to start taking bidsfor the old rescue truck. Patasked about the ISO inspectionresults. Rodney says it will beclose to six months before theyhear. He told of a resolution -15-02 for the storm damagesthat needed to be extended.Motion was made and passedto do so. Also for the mitigationplan resolution. Rodney askedif the Commissioners hadheard anything about whenthe remodeling is to start forthe windows in the trainingbuilding. They are still waitingand needing it done. Rodneythen went on to talk about thephone app they would like tolook into that gives early warn-ings for storms and otheremergency situations. He haspartners interested in invest-ing. Commissioners discussedthe matter and will look at itlater.

Vicki Hubin with WesternKansas Child Advocacy camein with their request for thecounty. She told of how muchthey help with court cases in-volving children in StevensCounty. Ted Heaton and PaulKitzke both gave their recom-mendations for the organiza-tion. When asked, Vicki toldhow much the City of Hugotonalso gives to their organization.She said the cost per child is$1300. and they appreciateany help the county can give.Sheriff Heaton said his depart-ment is qualified to do this butit works so much better withthis organization’s set-up.

Next on the agenda was JimBell and Jon Lund. CurtisCrawford joined them. Theybrought in a proposal for theCity of Moscow. It includesadding streets and creating 25lots for sale for the City ofMoscow. They were told howmuch the valuation for StevensCounty has gone down - 58million. Moscow would like tohave help putting in the waterand sewer. Curb and guttercould wait till later. Commis-sioners told of how much itcost to create the lots in Hugo-ton. They said they do havewater available near by andsewer also. The men said theydo have some people stop inand ask if any lots are availableoccasionally. Right now if peo-ple want to move to Moscow -they can’t. Very much discus-sion followed on the matter. Itwas talked about how manyhouses the school owns at thistime. Possibly something canbe worked out with them. Butthe school budget is in limbo atthis time also. The subjectthen turned to the tipping feesat the landfill and how much itwill affect the City of Moscow.Commissioners did not seehow this fee could affect thetown of Moscow all that much.They surely do not have asmuch trash as Hugoton. Theymay need to have a way toweigh how much trash comesonly from Moscow and not thesurrounding area. Collectiapicks up the Moscow trash. Itis not known at this time if Col-lectia will pass on the chargesto Moscow. Commissioners as-

sured the small group thatthey would also like to seeMoscow grow. They suggestedthe committee get an estimatefor the engineering costs.

Motion was made andpassed to adopt the Multi Haz-ard Multi Jurisdiction Mitiga-tion Plan.

Ted Heaton then steppedup. He reported that the Attor-ney General sent back theiranswer to, who is responsiblefor the hospital bills for cityprisoners housed in the countyjail. Ted said the office basicallysaid it was up to the governingbody of Stevens County. Thereis a bill now for 26 of the cityprisoners of approximately$5000. that needs to be paidand someone needs to makethe decision of who pays it. Tedsuggested the Commissionerstalk to surrounding counties ofhow they handle this. He has,and they make the city pay fortheir prisoners’ bills. Verymuch discussion followed. Tedagreed that if the case is afelony - his department is sup-posed to handle the case but ifthe city handles the case - thenhe feels they should pay. In thepast the county law enforce-ment has handled all felonycases, but the city police havestarted handling some of thefelony cases, so Ted feels thatif they make the arrest - itstheir prisoner and they shouldhave to pay the medical ex-penses. Call in the county tohandle it - then its the county’sbill. Paul suggested they call inan outside law office for advicebecause he has a conflict as heworks in Wayne Tate’s officeand Wayne is the attorney forthe city. Paul advised that hehandles cases if the case is afelony. It needs to be a countyofficer that handles a felonycase and not a city officer. Patasked what if the highway pa-trol has a case - does the statepay for medical expenses? Tedsaid no because they call in thecounty law officers for assis-tance. When asked, Ted saidthe officer will know if it is amisdemeanor or a felony. Uponleaving Ted said he doesn’t likehaving this past due bill at thehospital. That’s not the waythey do business. It was de-cided to go talk to the CityCouncil about the matter. Tedasked if Paul could talk tothem - not really. Joe asked ifit can be determined rightaway if it is a misdemeanor orfelony. Yes - the officer knowsusually right away.

Josh Morris was next on theagenda. He brought in bids forair conditioner units for the 4HBuilding. Both went out at thesame time. They really need tohave these replaced by the endof the month. Commissionerssuggested to find out, if onlythe compressors are out, ifthey can be fixed. They askedJosh to come in Wednesdaywhile they are there at thebudget hearing. It was sug-gested also to check if thestorm possibly damaged theunits, for them to go out at thesame time. Possibly insurancewould cover them if so.

Susan came in with moredetails about the roof replace-ment for the courthouse. It wassuggested that Susan locatemore roofing companies tocontact for bidding. The Commissioners are going towait until after the budgethearing Wednesday.

Pam asked if Paul was goingto be available for the budgethearing - the auditor had re-quested him be there. He advised that no he will not bethere.

Minutes were accepted withcorrections. Commissionersthen canvassed the election re-sults and meeting adjourned.

Baking for the FairThe temperatures are heat-

ing up so fair time must be here!If you are thinking you might beinterested in taking bakedgoods to the fair here are sometips to consider. Frosting is al-ways a major problem with fooditems in the summer as ourheat can ruin a beautiful frost-ing. The best warm weatherfrosting recipes use a hydro-genated cooking fat such asCrisco which has a meltingpoint of 127 degrees comparedto 95 degrees for butter or mar-garine. Cooked frostings suchas a fudge or German chocolatefrosting also tend to be quitestable. Frostings made withmeringue powder are accept-able. Frostings and glazes madeof powdered sugar, milk, andvanilla or other flavorings areacceptable.

Be aware that food safety is abig concern when exhibitingfoods, especially when thosefoods are later sold and con-sumed by others. This makes itimportant to not use frostingsthat contain cream cheese, sourcream, or other highly perish-able products.

Bacteria, yeast, and moldscan grow on just about any foodand they are especially fond ofcarbohydrates and proteins. Sowhat foods they are oftenbrought to the fair have thehighest chance of being spoiled?Some of the major offenders in-clude; icing and frostings madewith raw eggs, cream cheesefrosting, chocolate ganache,heavy cream frostings andlemon curd filling. Also any fill-ings in cakes, cupcakes, quickbreads or breads that are dairybased and create a higher mois-

ture level would be consideredperishable and in need of refrig-eration.

However, if dairy productssuch as cream cheese, sourcream, milk or cream are incor-porated into the entire batter,not as separate layer, then theywould be considered food safeand ok to exhibit because theyare baked into a drier environ-ment.

Also custard, cream or chif-fon pies are considered perish-able, including pumpkin.Cheesecake or cheesecakecookies or bars are also perish-able. Because bacteria canmultiply in these moist dessertsthat are high in dairy and eggsthey are not suitable exhibitsand should be refrigerated whenyou make and serve them athome also. You cannot safelyuse fresh cut up pieces of fruitto garnish your cakes or otherfood products either.

Having meat in baked prod-ucts also is considered unsafe.For example bringing muffinswith bacon bits or sausage isconsidered unsafe. Largeamounts of cheese in breads orquick breads can also be con-sidered perishable.

Here a basic frosting thatwork well for fair exhibits.

Basic decorating Icing1 cups (1 pound) powdered sugar! cup shortening3 tablespoons milk1 teaspoon "avoringCombine ingredients in mixing bowland mix at medium speed 8-10 min-utes. Keep covered when not usingand store in refrigerator. Makes 2!cups.

Stevens County baseballteam to participate intournament in Elkhart

The meeting of the hospitalboard was called to orderMonday, July 6, 2015, at 5:30p.m. in the Stevens CountyHospital community room.

Present were board mem-bers Joyce Baughman, BennyCabrera and Patty Lahey. Mil-ton Gillespie, Kirk Heger,Keith Rome and Dean VanHorn were absent. Otherspresent were Dr. Samer Al-Hashmi (Dr. Sam), Director ofNursing/Pioneer Manor Jen-nifer Featherston, Clinic Di-rector Stacy Helget, Directorof Nursing/Stevens CountyHospital Dawn Maas, ChiefFinancial Officer Dave Piper,Registered Health InformationTechnician Jessica Reinerioand Stevens County Hospi-tal/Pioneer Manor Adminis-trator Linda Stalcup.

Department heads pre-sented their reports, but asthe board did not have a quo-rum, no decisions were made.

Dawn Maas gave the hospi-

tal nursing report. The hospi-tal was busier last month; thenumber of out-patients andswing bed patients was up.She has completed the yearlyreview of the policies and pro-cedures. There are a fewminor changes, of which themost significant is the med-ication policy which needed tobe revised to meet themedicare regulations. She willbring the completed policiesand procedures to the nextmeeting for board review.

Maas reported there hadbeen a few injuries from fire-works, most minor, thoughthere was one serious injury.

Stacy Helget presented theclinic report. She said theywere holding their own for thesummer. They were up ap-proximately 100 patients lastmonth compared to last year.Helget attributed this to NursePractitioner Steika Gilmorebecause customers are becoming more comfortable

with her; she has been well received.

Jennifer Featherston up-dated the board on PioneerManor. The current census is68. They had numerousqueries in the last month dueto the reported impending clo-sure of the nursing home fa-cility in Morton County.Recently the facility was pur-chased by the owners ofWheatridge Park Care Centerin Liberal. It will be managedby Frontline Management andwill remain open. Many of theresidents who had contactedPioneer Manor opted to re-main in the Morton Countyfacility close to family.

Featherston brought upthe issue of the van and busused by Pioneer Manor totransport residents. The vanwas donated as a used vehiclein 2003 and is no longer a re-liable vehicle to travel any dis-tance. The bus, also old, iscurrently in the shop for serv-ice. The Special Care hasgreatly reduced the number oftrips needed to transport res-idents; however, reliable vehi-cles are still a necessity. LindaStalcup, administrator of Pio-neer Manor, advised there areapproximately $20-$22 thou-sand in the resident bequestfund which could be used torepair the bus and purchase anew van. She will get a quotefrom Riley Chevrolet for theboard to review at the nextmeeting.

Stalcup presented the CEOreport. The hospital will behosting a sixty-fifth anniver-sary celebration Saturday,July 25, from 11:00 a.m. to1:00 p.m. at the hospital infront of the medical clinic en-trance. Tours of the hospital,Pioneer Manor, pharmacy andphysical therapy clinic will beavailable. They will serve hot-dogs and hamburgers forlunch and will give away doorprizes.

Hospital management is of-

fering customer service edu-cation to all full-time andpart-time employees. This is a10-session seminar to becompleted on-line by Septem-ber 1. The classes are not re-quired; however, employeesare being offered at 25-centincrease incentive to completethe education. The classescover such subjects as tele-phone etiquette and customerloyalty.

The presentation at the li-brary about Medicare Part Band assistance with prescrip-tions, led by Stevens CountyRetail Pharmacist Wan ToPoon, was well attended.

Dave Piper gave the finan-cial report, which he said wasfairly standard at this time.Many of the issues withCerner, the electronic medicalrecord vendor, have been re-solved, resulting in more effi-cient reimbursement. Headdressed the budget for2016. They had asked for $2.4million, which the countycommissioners cut by approx-imately $220 thousand. Pipersaid the budget would havebalanced with the requestedamount but they expect ashortfall because of the cut.He commended departmentheads who were doing well

managing expenses.A board member requested

an update on the HVAC situ-ation at the hospital. LindaStalcup said the engineer hadcome in to meet with one ofthe commissioners. The re-pairs will be done in phases,though she had no time-frameat this time.

There being no other busi-ness the meeting ended ap-proximately 6:30 p.m.

The next meeting of thehospital/nursing home boardis scheduled for Monday, August 3, 2015, at 5:30 p.m.in the Pioneer Manor confer-ence room.

No Call List doesn’t stop all calls

“I’m on the Do Not Call list,so why do I keep getting thesephone calls?”

Unfortunately, this is one ofthe most common questionsour office receives. While plac-ing your number on the Do NotCall list is a great way to reducethe number of unsolicited tele-marketing calls you receive at

home, it’s not perfect and won’tstop the worst actors from calling you.

Kansas enacted the No CallAct in 2002 to give consumersthe ability to opt out of receivingunsolicited telemarketing calls.In 2014, the Legislature up-dated our state law to allow ouroffice to enforce the No Call Actwhen telemarketers call con-sumers’ cellphones.

You can register your phonenumber either by visiting ourconsumer protection website atwww.InYourCornerKansas.orgor by calling (888) 382-1222from the number you wish toregister. Once you’ve registered,telemarketers have 30 days toremove you from their callinglists. Registration does not ex-pire, so once you’ve registered,you don’t need to do it again,unless you get a new phonenumber.

Registering your number willstop legitimate telemarketingcompanies—those that followthe law—from calling. But, itwon’t stop fraudsters and crim-inals who have no regard for theDo Not Call list. These are theones who especially get on ournerves. Often, these are pre-recorded “robocalls” made fromtelemarketers and computers inforeign countries, which makesit hard—often impossible—forus to track them down for vio-lating the law.

The best advice when youget these types of calls is tohang up immediately. Even ifthe call says to press a numberto be removed from their list,don’t do it. This will just confirmto the robocaller that yournumber is connected to a real,live person, and will probablyresult in more calls.

Wait a minute! Is that eggyolk on your hands? Andhead!!

The back-seat driving contest is always a lot of fun. However,are some of those cones looking a little squashed from being runover?

PARK DAY2015

Winner in the 13 to 18 monthboys group is cute little JamesWhetstone.

The Kansas Department ofAgriculture’s Division of AnimalHealth has identified an in-creased number of rabies casesreported in Kansas this year. Asof June 30, 69 cases of rabieshave been confirmed in Kansasfor 2015.

Rabies testing is performedby the Kansas State UniversityVeterinary Diagnostic Labora-tory, which confirmed only 69positive cases in all of 2014. Ofthe 69 cases reported this year,13 of them occurred in domes-tic animals including nine cattleand four cats. These numbersare expected to continue to risethrough the end of the year.

Dr. Bill Brown, Kansas Ani-mal Health Commissioner,urged Kansans to be alert.

“Being observant of erratic be-havior in wildlife or livestock isimportant,” he said. “Pet own-ers are urged to follow bestpractices and vaccinate theirpets to prevent this devastatingdisease.”

Rabies is a preventable dis-ease that is always deadly andcan infect humans. To preventthe impact of the disease, it isimportant to vaccinate all ani-mals that have regular humancontact. This includes petssuch as dogs, cats and ferrets,horses, and any livestock thathas human contact or is of highvalue. If you are bitten by ananimal, wash the wound imme-diately with soap and water,seek medical attention and re-port the bite to your local healthor animal control department.

“It is important to rememberthat animals need periodicboosters of rabies vaccinethroughout their life,” said Dr.Ingrid Garrison, state publichealth veterinarian with theKansas Department of Healthand Environment. “Vaccinating

animals against rabies not onlyprotects our pets, but our fam-ilies too.”

In addition to vaccination, itis important to watch for signsof rabies such as changes inanimal behavior. Commonsigns of rabies include wild an-imals acting unafraid of people,calm animals acting aggressiveand hostile, inability to swallow,increased salivation, seizures

and paralysis.If you notice any animals ex-

hibiting signs of rabies, keepyour distance and contact ani-mal control. In the case an ani-mal has been exposed to rabies,contact your veterinarian foradvice.

KDA DAH works to promotepublic health and safety byworking with Kansas farmersand ranchers to protect animal

health and ensure a safe foodsupply.

U.S. Senator Pat Roberts, R-Kan., Chairman of the SenateCommittee on Agriculture, Nu-trition and Forestry, last weekheld a hearing on Country ofOrigin Labeling (COOL) andtrade retaliation: what is at stakefor America's farmers, ranchers,businesses and consumers.

“If you take anything awayfrom my remarks today, I hopeit is this: facts are stubbornthings, and whether you support

COOL or oppose COOL, the factis retaliation is coming. And thiscommittee has to fix it,” Chair-man Roberts said.

“Products including beef,pork, cherries, ethanol, wine, or-ange juice, jewelry, mattresses,furniture and parts for heatingappliances are just some of thetargets of Canadian retaliation.Mexico has yet to finalize theirlist, but we expect it to be just asdamaging. The U.S. economy

cannot tolerate such economicinjury.

“I want to emphasize I under-stand completely the concerns ofsome members of this commit-tee. I have encouraged alterna-tives to be brought forth. But asChairman of this Committee Imust emphasize to my col-leagues and all of agriculturethat retaliation is fast approach-ing and the responsibility sitssquarely on our shoulders toavoid it.”
