Hugoton was rockedwith another tragedy lastweek. The young life ofJoel Nieto Jr., age 33, wastaken as a result of a twovehicle accident east ofHugoton Tuesday after-noon, October 14.

Stevens County Sher-iff’s Department re-sponded to a two vehicleaccident Tuesday, earlyafternoon. The locationwas east of Hugoton atRoad 15 on Highway 56towards Moscow. A ma-roon 1995 Chevy Tahoewas east bound and slow-ing down to make a righthand turn into the family’sdriveway. The Tahoe wasbeing driven by Joel NietoSr., age 63. He was ac-companied by his son JoelJr. A 2009 Mitsubishidriven by Andrew Jones,age 23, was also eastbound on Highway 56.

The Jones vehicle struckthe Nieto vehicle in therear causing both vehiclesto roll-over, coming to restin opposite ditches.

The passenger in theNieto vehicle, Joel Jr. wasejected from the vehicle,as he had just removedhis seat belt. Joel Sr. andJoel Jr. were both trans-ported to Stevens CountyHospital. Joel Jr. was LifeWatched to Wichita, butdiverted to Liberal instead.Jones sustained minor injuries, but refused treat-ment.

Joel Jr. was a familiar

face in his family’s restau-rant. He always had acontagious smile to offerwith his sincere greeting.He liked to grab your handand find out where youwere going when you weregetting ready to leave. Healso liked to talk aboutponies and donkeys. Joelwould laugh so much if hethought you were beingleft by the rest of yourfamily while talking withhim. He will be so missedby not only his family butall his friends.

Joel’s obituary is onpage 2.

Hugoton was abuzzwith dignitaries, secretservice personnel andcommunity members Fri-day as Abengoa preparedfor their Grand Opening!Seven years in the mak-ing, Abengoa was ready toannounce and push thebutton for the officialstarting up of their Cellu-losic Ethanol Plant. Theirannouncement is as fol-lows: “Global leader in thedevelopment of new indus-trial biotechnologies de-buts advanced biorefineryfor cellulosic ethanol inSouthwest Kansas!”

Abengoa, the interna-tional company that ap-plies innovativetechnology solutions forsustainability in the en-ergy and environmentsectors, announced Fri-day the official grandopening of its second gen-eration cellulosic ethanolplant in Hugoton.

The opening was at-tended by United StatesSecretary of Energy Dr.

Ernest Moniz,Kansas Gover-nor SamBrownback,former UnitedStates Secre-tary of the In-terior KenSalazar, KansasSenator PatRoberts, Mayorof HugotonJack E. Row-den, StevensCounty Com-m i s s i o n e rDavid Bozone, Abengoa’sDanny Allison and CEO ofAbengoa Manuel SánchezOrtega. Stevens CountySheriff Ted Heaton andUndersheriff T.J. Steersprovided security - in ad-dition to the secret serviceagents - for Dr. Monizfrom the Liberal airport allthe way to the grand eventwest of Hugoton.

The meeting was led offwith a welcome fromAbengoa’s Executive VicePresident ChristopherStandlee. He asked for amoment of silence for thecommunity’s shockingloss of Montana Beesley.David Bozone was introduced and asked tolead the attendance in thePledge of Alligence. Davewas followed by the Hugoton High School

Band and Choral Groupperforming the Star Spangled Banner.

Introductions followedand appreciation was expressed to Hugoton andthe surrounding countyarea for being able to dealwith the 1500+ people located in the area duringthe facility’s construction.Mayor Jack Rowden expressed his thanks forthe company pickingHugoton as their location.Manuel Sanchez Ortegaremembered trying to findHugoton on the map inthe early stages of plan-ning. He expressed hisfeeling that now he knowswhere Hugoton is found:“in our hearts”.

Following Mr. Ortega,Keynote Speaker Secre-tary of the United StatesDepartment of Energy -

Dr. Ernest Moniz, spoke.He was followed by the of-ficial Ribbon Cutting Cer-emony and the “pushingof the button” to start theofficial process of the

plant. Abengoa’s new indus-

try-leading biorefinery fin-ished construction inmid-August and beganproducing cellulosicethanol at the end of Sep-tember with the capacity

to produce upto 25 milliongallons peryear. Theplant utilizesonly “secondgene ra t i on ”(2G) biomassfeedstocks forethanol pro-d u c t i o n ,meaning non-edible agricul-tural cropresidues (suchas stalks and

leaves) that do not com-pete with food or feedgrain. The state-of-the-artfacility also features anelectricity cogenerationcomponent allowing it tooperate as a self-sufficientrenewable energy pro-ducer. By utilizing resid-ual biomass solids fromthe ethanol conversionprocess, the plant gener-ates 21 megawatts (MW)of electricity – enough topower itself and provideexcess clean renewablepower to the local StevensCounty community.

The Hugoton plantopening also marks thefirst-ever commercial de-ployment of Abengoa’sproprietary enzymatic hy-drolysis technology,which turns biomass intofermentable sugars that

are then converted toethanol. Among the firstwave of commercial-scaleethanol plants in thecountry, Hugoton buildson recent industry mo-mentum showcasing cel-lulosic ethanol as asustainable alternativefuel source to significantlyreduce greenhouse gasemissions and increaseenergy independence.

In addition to theplant’s crucial role inproving the commercialviability of cellulosicethanol, its success pro-vides a platform for thecompany’s future develop-ment of other bioproductsto reduce petroleum use,such as bioplastics, bio-chemicals and drop-in jetfuel.

“The Hugoton plantopening is the result often years of technical de-velopment, roughly40,000 hours of pilot anddemonstration plant oper-ation, and the support ofthe DOE,” said ManuelSánchez Ortega, CEO ofAbengoa. “This is a proudand pivotal moment forAbengoa and for thelarger advanced bioenergyindustry – and furtherdemonstrates our long-standing commitment to

Federal Bureau of Investigation ~ Internet Crime Complaint Center

Cyber criminals posing as Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) employees are defrauding the public. The IC3has received complaints from victims who were receiving e-mails purported to be from the IC3. This advisory informsreaders how the scheme works, offers measures to help mit-igate the threat, and advises how to report incidents to lawenforcement.

Victims report the unsolicited e-mail sender is a repre-sentative of the IC3. The e-mails state a criminal report wasfiled on the victim’s name and social security number andlegal papers are pending. Scammers impersonate an IC3employee to increase credibility and use threats of legal ac-tion to create a sense of urgency. Victims are informed theyhave one to two days from the date of the complaint to con-tact the scammers. Failure to respond to the e-mail will re-sult in an arrest warrant issued to the victim.

Some victims stated they were provided further details regarding the ‘criminal charges’ to include violations of federal banking regulations, collateral check fraud, andtheft deception. Other victims claimed that their addresswas correct but their social security number was incorrect.Victims that requested additional information from thescammer were instructed to obtain prepaid money cards toavoid legal action. Victims have reported this scam in mul-tiple states.

If you receive this type of e-mail:• Resist the pressure to act quickly.• Never wire money based on a telephone request or in ane-mail, especially to an overseas location.

The IC3 never charges the public for filing a complaintand will never threaten to have them arrested if they do notrespond to an e-mail. Individuals who have fallen victim tothis type of scam are encouraged to file a complaint withthe IC3 at http://www.ic3.gov.

providing sustainable energyalternatives in the UnitedStates. This would have beensimply impossible withoutthe establishment of the Re-newable Fuel Standard.”

Abengoa received a $132.4million loan guarantee and a$97 million grant through theDepartment of Energy to sup-port construction of theHugoton facility.

At full capacity, the Hugo-ton facility will process 1,000tons per day of biomass, mostof which is harvested withina 50-mile radius each year –providing $17 million peryear of extra income for localfarmers whose agriculturalwaste would otherwise havelittle or no value. Of that bio-mass, more than 80 percentis expected to consist of irri-

gated corn stover, with theremainder comprised ofwheat straw, milo stubbleand switchgrass.

Abengoa plans to offer li-censes and contracts to inter-ested parties covering everyaspect of this new industry –from process design to engi-neering, procurement andconstruction (EPC), supply ofexclusive enzymes, as well asoperations and marketing ofthe completed products fromthe facility.

The proprietary enzymatichydrolysis technology utilizedcommercially at Hugoton isalso a focal point in Aben-goa’s efforts to diversify therange of raw material feed-stocks from which biofuelsand bioproducts can be pro-duced. For example, for more

than a year the company hasbeen operating a demonstra-tion-scale facility capitalizingon the same technology andenzyme cocktail used atHugoton to extract cellulosicsugars from municipal solidwaste (trash), thereby allow-ing expansion of the renew-able fuels industry from ruralto urban areas.

Legacy of InnovationWith a biofuels presence

on three continents, Abengoais an international biotech-nology company – one of thelargest ethanol producers inthe United States and Brazil,and the largest producer inEurope with a total of 867million gallons of annual in-stalled production capacitydistributed among 15 com-mercial-scale plants in fivecountries.

Abengoa’s overall presencein the United States – includ-ing its solar, water desalina-tion, biofuels and engineeringand construction businesses– has grown exponentiallysince the company expanded

its business more than adecade ago. Some 26 percentof the company’s assets arecurrently in the UnitedStates, which is Abengoa’slargest market in terms ofsales.

This is ex-actly what happened to theboys last year,” Coach NickRodriguez said. “They werebeat by one point last year forthe League title and the girlswere the League Champions.The coaching staff was reallyimpressed with the effortsthat all the kids gave us,”coach Rodriguez continued.

The Cross Country teamshave been working hard allyear to get to this point andnow must focus to be in thetop three teams this week atRegionals and qualify for thestate meet. “We know thatthe Clay Center boys andgirls are solid teams, HaysHigh moved down from 5Aand should be pretty good,Hays-TMP moved up from 3Aand they have been good. Itwill be a good race next week-end at Hays High. That iswhere we go to race nextweekend to qualify for State,”Rodriguez concluded. Racetimes at Hays are 2:00 p.m.and 2:30 p.m. this weekend.

Sight is something manypeople take for granted. Pow-erful organs, the eyes absorbimagery and the brain con-verts that information intodata the body uses to maneu-ver through the world.

Risks of eye injury presentthemselves every day. Free-flying particles are every-where, and the Centers forDisease Control and Preven-tion note that dust, metalparticles, falling or shiftingdebris, smoke, and chemicalsare some of the most com-mon eye hazards on the joband at home. Injuries canrun the gamut from cornealabrasions and irritation toloss of vision.

Millions of eye injuries thatimpair vision occur eachyear. Prevention is a person'sbest defense again eye injury.Wearing safety glasses orgoggles is the easiest way toprotect the eyes and can pre-vent 90 percent of eye in-juries. In addition, Prevent

Blindness suggests thesemethods to reduce your riskof suffering eye trauma.• Provide lights andhandrails to improve safetyon walkways and stairs, aswell as to make surroundingsmore visible.• Inspect and remove debrisfrom lawns before mowing.• Address potential eye haz-ards, such as overhangingbranches or sharp corners,before they can do any dam-age.• Wear appropriate eye pro-tection when particles of anykind are falling, flying ormoving through the air.• Keep tools in good condi-tion so they do not kick upunnecessary debris or causeinjuries.• Always use chemicalsafety goggles when handlinghazardous solvents and de-tergents.• Read and follow all in-structions and warnings onmanufacturer labels.

• Understand that regulareyeglasses do not provide ad-equate protection.• Keep kids away from flyingtoys or any that use projec-tiles.• Never mix chemicals, asmixed chemicals can damageyour eyes and cause addi-tional injuries.• Wear adequate eye protec-tion to prevent overexposureto UV rays when outside.Sunglasses that guardagainst UV-A and UV-B raysare recommended.• Keep dangerous house-hold products, like deter-gents, paints, glues, and

Plastic bottles are rou-tinely recycled into otherplastic items and new bottles,but they can be turned intomuch more. When you weresipping water from that bot-tle, you probably neverthought of the possibilities ofwearing that very plastic.However, fabric innovatorsare turning disposed plasticinto durable garments. Whencompared with producing vir-gin materials, recycling plas-tic products helps save up to70 percent on energy costs.Recycled bottles can be bro-ken down into pellets of purerecycled plastic that is virtu-ally indistinguishable fromvirgin plastic. Then the pel-

lets are turned into yarn,which can be woven as-is ormixed with other yarns toproduce polyester clothing.According to Waste 2 Wear, arecycled clothing company,anywhere from 12 to 20 bot-tles can be saved per garmentand transformed into any-thing from robes to shirts touniforms. Recycled clothingpresents yet another way toturn trash into treasure.

Some children amassquite a pile of candy fromtheir trick-or-treating efforts.It may be too much to eat inthe next few weeks, even forcandy lovers. According to“Better Homes and Gardens,”many different types of can-dies can be frozen to preservetheir freshness. Fudge, pra-

lines and caramels freezewell, and even chocolate-cov-ered candies can be frozenwith ease. Use an airtightfreezer bag or container tokeep frozen candies as freshas possible and not suscepti-ble to moisture infiltration.


Research has consistentlyshown that consuming alco-holic beverages increases awoman's risk of hormone-re-ceptor-positive breast cancer.According to the AmericanCancer Society, a woman'srisk of developing breast can-cer increases with theamount of alcohol she con-sumes. When compared withnondrinkers, women whoconsume one alcoholic bever-age per day have a slightlyhigher risk of developingbreast cancer. But the risk ofdeveloping breast cancer isroughly one and a half timesgreater for those women whoconsume between two andfive alcoholic beverages perday when compared to non-drinkers. Breastcancer.orgnotes that experts estimatethat a woman's risk of devel-oping breast cancer increasesby 10 percent for each addi-tional drink she consumeseach day. The risk is consid-erable for young girls whoconsume alcohol as well, asteen and tween girls betweenthe ages of nine and 15 whodrink three to five drinks perweek have three times therisk of developing benignbreast lumps, which havebeen linked to a higher risk ofbreast cancer later in life.

“The ‘Red and Blue’ is on the March Again”

Reporting from Ranger Stadiumin Alva, Ok. To a town like Hugoton, what

does it mean to have a first classmarching band? In 1968, theHugoton Eagle band was asource of extreme city pridewhen director Dave Darnell’sband was invited to do the half-time show for the Kansas CityChiefs. As the band’s previousdirector, Dave Catron had builtthe band into a show-piece or-ganization from 1962 - 1966,with band directors from acrossthe nation attending its concerts.After getting this kind of nationalrecognition, Catron took theband director’s position at Michi-gan State University, which heheld for many years. In other not so memorabletimes, the Hugoton marchingband was not nearly as notewor-thy, and for the past severalyears, Hugoton has NOT hadmarching band at all (Nada.) But(and this is becoming a pretty bigbut) as of nine weeks ago, Hugo-ton has a brand spanking newband. Enter new band director,Amy Freeman, a native of Lav-erne, Ok., and a graduate ofNorthwestern Oklahoma StateUniversity, a university withcampuses at Alva, Ok., Wood-ward, Ok., and Enid, Ok., whereshe was drum majorette for sixyears. In the intervening years,Freeman has had fourteen yearsof previous experience as a direc-tor, and has developed a reputa-tion of expecting a lot from herband membership. Further, shegets her band to demand a lotfrom individual members. As anexample, band practice regularlybegins at 6:30 a.m. weekdaymornings, and the band doesn’twaste any time. In the middle of that first nineweeks, Freeman wanted to takethe band to enter competition at

the Kansas State Fair atHutchinson. Administrative con-cern was expressed that theband, while in its developmentalstages, could be severely embar-rassed. Freeman assured allconcerned that the band wouldbe ready to go. And of the thirtybands that competed atHutchinson, Hugoton’s bandwas one of the four top bands toreceive a “superior rating.” This past weekend, the bandperformed at Freeman’s almamater (NWOSU) where it placedsecond overall, missing first by avery narrow margin. The Eagleband marched in NWOSU’shomecoming parade, wearingstriking blue uniforms withfeathered “El Gato” hats. Theband also played later in a grandcombination of all bands at theuniversity football stadium. I saw the Eagle band performin the Alva town square, where itplayed a very modern piece whilewithin my earshot. I followed theband for several blocks hoping tohear it play the Eagle fight song,“The Red and Blue Overall,” butwas unsuccessful and was even-tually blocked by the largehomecoming crowd. Later, I didhear from others that the bandbelted out a superb rendition ofthe fight song further down thestreet. At Ranger Stadium, the bandplayed the Eagle fight song again– especially for me. As an old(shall we say -- “balding Eagle”)it was absolutely glorious! Beforethe game began, the Hugotonband kept the entire stadium en-tertained by playing a medley ofcatchy tunes, often with otherbands joining in with theirdrums and bass horns. During the combination play,Hugoton’s entire twenty-eightband members shed their feath-ered hats, and donned “Mon-tana” head bands inremembrance of popular bandmember, fifteen year old Mon-

tana Beesley. Beesley tragicallylost her life in a recent auto acci-dent. She played both trumpetand guitar, and had recentlybeen invited to play at the na-tional FFA convention inNashville, Tn. The band chose tokeep Montana’s spirit alive byplacing a memory patch of heron the band’s very impressivebanner at the front of the band. I used to be a member of theHugoton band (50+ years ago),playing the Sousaphone for(then) band director, SigmondLeiker. He did his best for me(and the band), but I regret to saythat I failed to do my best for him(and our band.) Often the bell of my horn be-came an irresistible target forpranksters, throwing spitwadsand other miscellaneous itemsinto the large opening. The lasttime I was a member of themarching band in 1961, wemarched into a 40 mph windduring a welcome home paradeheld for (then) Hugoton resident,Buddy Heaton (now deceased.) At the time, Heaton had justfinished riding his buffalo, “OldGrunter,” in President John F.Kennedy’s inaugural parade inWashington D.C. Pushing intothe strong headwind during thewelcome home parade, it was allI could do to keep that big hornmoving forward, let alone pro-ducing any quality “oompahs.” In finishing my account of theHugoton band’s visit to NWOSU,it should be readily apparentthat the twenty-eight bandmembers can become a core oftalent upon which to build. Andso, I asked Amy Freeman howlong she planned to continue asHugoton High’s band director.She replied, “with those amazingkids, as long as the powers thatbe will let me”. But putting together a qualityband organization means thatmore than just a band directorand band members will be get-ting red eyes from lack of sleep.That big “Hugoton EagleCruiser” of a bus has to be main-tained in top shape, and ready toleave in the wee hours of themorning or late at night. Someweeks, the bus goes out multipletimes (occasionally on successivedays) and the current busjockey/supervisor and “main-tainer of student order” is an-other balding Eagle namedGalen Keith. Administrators have to findfunding sources for a band, andthen justify all expenditures.This frequently means that bandsponsors, like David Cutter (an-other balding Eagle) may have togo searching for some deeppockets when unexpected costsarise. (At times, do your owntrousers get a little threadbarearound the pockets, David?) And we might ask ourselves,“Is all the effort of funding andfielding a high school band worthit?” Just wait until you see thatstriking “Hugoton High SchoolBand” banner come down thestreet toward you, in front oftwenty-eight of the finest highschool ambassadors from yourhome town, and you’ll have youranswer.

United behind a theme of“Lead-Free Kids for a HealthyFuture,” EPA Region 7 is urg-ing parents, teachers andnews media representativesto join federal, state and localhealth and environmentalagencies in spreading themessage of National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week,October 19-25.

While lead poisoning is ahealth issue that can affectpersons of any age, youngchildren are most at risk. TheCenters for Disease Controland Prevention estimatesthat at least four millionhouseholds in the UnitedStates have children living inthem at risk of exposure totoxic lead. More than half amillion U.S. children ages fiveand younger have blood leadlevels above five microgramsper deciliter, the referencelevel at which CDC recom-mends public health actionsbe initiated.

Nationally, the most com-mon way that children be-come exposed to lead is bybreathing or swallowing dustor chips of lead-based paint,which is often found in andaround housing or child-carefacilities built prior to 1978,when lead-based residentialpaints were banned in theU.S.

In the four states of EPARegion 7 - Iowa, Kansas, Mis-souri and Nebraska - youngchildren, depending on thecommunities where they live,also may be exposed to soilscontaminated by lead fromthe area’s past or currentlead mining and processingindustries.

Lead poisoning can ad-versely affect nearly everysystem of the body, but par-ticularly the central nervoussystem, especially for unbornand young children whosebodies are just beginning todevelop and grow. Becauselead poisoning often occurswith no obvious symptoms, itfrequently goes unrecognized.However, lead poisoning iseasily diagnosed with simpletesting, and in most cases, itcan be treated.

Throughout National LeadPoisoning Prevention Week,October 19-25, EPA is work-ing to raise awareness oftoxic lead hazards andspread information aboutways to minimize or preventexposures to lead. TheAgency has a range of free in-formation, outreach materi-als and other resourcesavailable online:http://www2.epa.gov/lead/national-lead-poisoning-pre-vention-week.

Throughout the year, EPAworks proactively with pro-fessionals employed in thehome and building renova-tion and repair trades to en-courage their compliancewith federal laws and regula-tions designed to prevent ex-posures to lead caused byrenovation, repair and paint-ing activities. Homeownersare urged to confirm that anyrenovators hired to work intheir pre-1978 housing are,in fact, certified by EPA—andthat those renovators followlead-safe work practices onthe job. EPA similarly strivesto educate homeowners andconsumers who do their ownrenovation, repair and paint-ing, to follow lead safe workpractices.

Information about EPA’sRenovation, Repair andPainting Program is availableonline: http://www2.epa.gov/lead/renovation-repair-and-painting-program.

All About PumpkinsThe most popular use of

pumpkins is for decorations asjack-o-lanterns. But when se-lecting a pumpkin for cooking,it is best to look for a “piepumpkin” or “sweet pumpkin.”These are smaller than the largejack-o-lantern pumpkins, andthe flesh is sweeter and less wa-tery.

Look for a pumpkin with oneto two inches of stem left. If thestem is cut too close to thepumpkin it will decay quickly,

or may already be decaying atthe time of purchase. Avoidpumpkins with blemishes andsoft spots. It should be heavy,but the shape is unimportant.A lopsided pumpkin is not nec-essarily a bad pumpkin. Wholepumpkins can be stored atroom temperature up to amonth after being picked, or re-frigerated for up to threemonths. Figure one pound ofraw, untrimmed pumpkin foreach cup of finished pumpkinpuree.

Preparing /Cooking thePumpkin

Spread newspaper over yourwork surface. Remove thestem, scoop out the seeds andscrape away all of the stringymess.

Boiling/Steaming Method:Cut the pumpkin into ratherlarge chunks. Rinse in coldwater. Place pieces in a largepot with about a cup of water.The water does not need tocover the pumpkin pieces.Cover the pot and boil for 20-30minutes or until tender, orsteam for 10-12 minutes.Check for doneness by pokingwith a fork. Drain the cookedpumpkin in a colander. Youmay reserve the liquid to use as

a base for soup.Oven Method: Rinse pump-

kin halves under cold water.Place pumpkin, cut side downon a large cookie sheet. Bake at350 degrees F. for one hour, oruntil fork tender.

Microwave Method: Rinsepumpkin halves under coldwater. Place pumpkin halvescut side down on a microwavesafe plate or tray. Microwave onhigh for 15 minutes, check fordoneness. If necessary con-tinue cooking at one to twominute intervals until fork ten-der.

Preparing the PureeWhen the pumpkin is cool

enough to handle, remove the

peel using a small sharp knifeand your fingers. Put thepeeled pumpkin in a foodprocessor and puree, or use afood mill, strainer or potatomasher to form a puree.

Pumpkin puree freezes well.To freeze, measure cooled pureeinto one cup portions, andplace in ridged freezer contain-ers leaving one-half inch headspace, or pack into zip-closurefreezer bags. Label, date andfreeze at 0 degrees F. for up toone year.

Use this puree in recipes bysubstituting for the sameamount in any recipe calling forsolid-pack canned pumpkin.

Average retail gasolineprices in Kansas have fallen4.4 cents per gallon in thepast week, averaging $2.94per gallon Sunday, accordingto GasBuddy's daily survey of1,329 gas outlets in Kansas.This compares with the na-tional average that has fallen6.1 cents per gallon in thelast week to $3.12 per gallon,according to gasoline priceWeb site GasBuddy.com.

Including the change ingas prices in Kansas duringthe past week, prices Sundaywere 23.9 cents per gallonlower than the same day oneyear ago and are 27.3 centsper gallon lower than amonth ago. The national av-erage has decreased 22.9cents per gallon during thelast month and stands 23.1cents per gallon lower thanthis day one year ago.

“The national averageagain saw a hefty decline overthe last week, and we nowstand a mere dime away fromseeing prices nationally aver-age under $3 per gallon," saidGasBuddy.com senior petro-leum analyst Patrick De-Haan. "The national averagestands now at its lowest pointsince January 18, 2011, and

by the end of this week, itcould stand at its lowestsince late 2010. Every day,Americans are spending over$100 million less on theirgasoline purchases than theydid a year ago, some of whichwill be injected back into theeconomy in other forms, and

with the economic concernstaking shape lately, it couldhelp jolt things back in theright direction. I still do be-lieve that the national aver-age will break the $3 pergallon mark by around Elec-tion Day- the timing is ironic,considering the drop has

nothing to do with ElectionDay and everything to dowith current ongoings, suchas a price war between someOPEC members and jittersabout the health of the globaleconomy,” DeHaan noted.

The legend of jack-o’-lanternsThe tradition of jack-o’-

lanterns began in Ireland andScotland, and pumpkinswere not the first gourd ofchoice to use as lanterns.Turnips and rutabagas wereoften used because of theiravailability. When Irish immi-grants migrated to America,they brought their jack-o’-lantern traditions with them.Turnips were not as prevalenton this side of the Atlantic, socarvers turned to pumpkins,which were larger and easierto carve. Jack-o’-lanterns get

their name from Irish folk-lore, particularly a characternamed Jack. Jack liked todrink and couldn’t pay hispub tab, making a deal withthe Devil for his soul to coverthe pub fee. Jack agreed, buthe tricked the Devil to getaway with his soul and cap-tured the Devil. Jack agreesto free the Devil if he makes anew deal that the Devil can’tever have his soul. Years passand Jack eventually dies. Be-cause of his poor lifestyle, heis not material for heaven,

and Jack is once again re-united with the Devil. Be-cause the Devil remembershe cannot have Jack’s soul,Jack is forced to roam thetwilight world forever as a lostsoul. The Devil gives Jack afew embers to burn to lightthe way, which Jack stores ina hollowed-out turnip. Even-tually these lanterns, used tokeep scary spirits at bay,were called jack-o’-lanterns.

K & K Chem-Dry®now provides Chem-Dry car-pet and upholstery cleaningservices to Morton, Stevens,Seward, Meade, Stanton,Grant and Haskell countiesin Kansas. Other than com-plete customer satisfaction,their first and foremost goalis to change the attitude ofthe public towards carpetcleaning due to many of theproblems associated withother cleaning methods.

Chem-Dry is a revolution-ary carpet cleaning processthat uses carbonation and in-gredients copied from MotherNature to make your carpetsfresh and clean again. Theprocess generates naturalCO2 to produce millions oftiny, effervescent bubbleswhich penetrate the carpetfiber, dissolving dirt andstains quickly, and act as

tiny propellants that actuallylift dirt to the surface for ex-traction. As a result of usingCO2, excess amounts ofwater are eliminated, thuspreventing damage from over-wetting.

Chem-Dry offers a numberof distinct advantages thatother methods cannot suchas:• Carpets dry in less time,one to two hours - not days• There are no dirt-attract-ing residues• Virtually all stains can beremoved• Green and clean- Chem-Dry uses one fifth theamount of water of SteamCleaners. Their solution issafe and non–toxic - safe forchildren and pets.

October is nationally rec-ognized as Bullying Preven-tion Month. As the PreventChild Abuse Kansas Chapter,this month the Kansas Chil-dren’s Service League (KCSL)is encouraging Kansans to gothe extra mile in demonstrat-ing kindness and showingtheir support of bullying pre-vention.

As part of this initiative,KCSL created a free toolkit forparents and educators withbullying facts, preventiontalking points and socialmedia messaging. The kitalso includes tip cards onhow to know if your child isbeing bullied or cyberbullied,steps to resolve the bullyingand what to do if you suspectyour child is doing the bully-ing. The toolkit is availableonline at www.kcsl.org/BullyingPrevention.aspx.

Additionally, individuals,schools and communities areencouraged to participate inKansas Kindness Day on Oc-tober 22 by wearing orangeand posting their randomacts of kindness on socialmedia.

“We want to connect fami-lies, empower youth andtransform Kansas into a stateof kindness,” said PreventChild Abuse Kansas Director

Vicky Roper. “We hope thatby highlighting the good wecan show positive ways chil-dren and youth can impacteach other.”

In 2014, a survey con-ducted by Kansas Communi-ties that Care showed nearly9,000 Kansas students missschool one to two times eachmonth because they feel un-safe, uncomfortable or nerv-ous at school or on their wayto or from school. No longerconsidered “kids just beingkids,” bullying negatively af-fects children emotionally,psychologically and physi-cally. Bullying is any behav-ior that is done tointentionally harm someone.Bullies use their physical, so-cial, or emotional power tocause pain and force theirtargets to obey their requests.Most bullying behaviors arerepeated over time, and bul-lying can be physical, verbal,emotional, cyber orsexual/gender.

Class Poem(From “The New Eden” – 1926)

From old H.H.S. we hate to go, but we cannot stay,For nevermore will we pass this way.

We will sow our way with deedsWhose seeds shall bloom like May time meads,

And flood our future paths with words,That will thrill our lives like the singing birds,

And to the Senior Class that is coming on,That they may find their work a gleam and not a gloom.

And may they find our path a pleasant wayA trail of happiness and of bloom.

October is Bullying Prevention Month

Halloween is just weeksaway, and families will soonstart visiting hauntedhouses, ghost walks andother special amusements.State Fire Marshal Doug Jor-gensen reminds all Kansansthat even though theseamusements are intended forfamily Halloween entertain-ment, these structures pres-ent an increased risk withregards to fire and life safety.

Kansas adopted 2006 In-ternational Fire Code, whichrequires these types of facili-ties to comply with majorcomponents of fire and lifesafety. History has shownthat complying with lifesafety requirements is vital.The tragic May 11, 1984 firein the “Haunted Castle” atthe Six Flags Great Adven-ture Park in New Jersey re-sulted in the deaths of eightvisitors due to their inabilityto immediately exit theamusement structure.

If you are considering op-erating or designing one ofthese amusements, specialattention should be given tothe following requirements:• Automatic Sprinkler Sys-tem in accordance with NFPA13• Automatic Fire Alarm Sys-tem in accordance with NFPA72• Number of exits• Exit signs, illuminationand emergency lighting• Travel distance to exits• Use of flammable liquids• Use of combustible interiorfinish

• Location of extinguishingequipment• Adequate staff trained inevacuation and equippedwith flashlights• Established emergencyprocedures• Readily available means tonotify local fire, police andemergency medical services

For added safety, it may benecessary to limit occupantload, add additional emer-gency exits or establish otherspecial precautions to mini-mize a potential risk due tosome unique circumstance.In any event, every effortshould be made to provide anenjoyable but safe environ-ment as determined by the

local fire inspection author-ity.

* PLEASE NOTE: The spe-cific requirements may bemodified by the Office of theState Fire Marshal to allowalternative measures to ob-tain an equivalency to thecode. K.S.A.31-136 providesprocedures for exemptions ofthese requirements uponwritten request. The writtenrequest must demonstratethat the specific requirementcauses unnecessary hard-ship.

Visit www.firemarshal.ks.gov to find more fire safety in-formation.

Have a safe and happyHalloween.

The CJS chapter was the

only chapter in the state to have100% member retention for2012-2013. And the chaptergrew at a rate of 20%.

There is afamily from Oklahoma whoshould be able to join nextmonth and they will be the firstfamily in the chapter to havethree generations representedand the first junior members!

In short, if you would like tobe a part of an organization thatenjoys history, communityservice, and good company, thechapter would like for you tocome join them. Not sure youhave any Revolutionary Warancestors? Here’s a rule ofthumb. If you had someonethat fought in the Civil War,
