Monday, November 9, the State Finance Council provided "extraordinary needs" funding of $4,242,794 for 27 Kansas school districts. Funding was related to increased enrollment, refugee resettle- ment and reduced oil and gas valuations for Kansas schools. Hugoton’s USD 210 received 77 percent of their requested $563,606, while Moscow’s USD 209 received 90 percent of their requested $131,351. Both Stevens County districts requested extraordinary need funds from the state due to the county’s decreased valuation. Since 2013, Stevens County’s valuation has gone down approximately 25 percent. A higher mill levy has made up some of the difference, but the districts recognized the need for more money. Local schools have been cutting their budgets, but the funds from the state are still desperately needed. Until natural gas prices go back up, the county schools will continue to require state funding. USD 210 Superintendent Adrian Howie reported the money from the state will go toward next year’s budget and should help offset this year’s mill levy increase. Requests for extraordi- nary need funds included 16 districts applying for oil and gas-related decreases in property valuation; three requests for valuations continued from the last council meeting; seven requests for enrollment exceeding a two percent threshold; and a request from the Wichita school district to support refugee students. “This process provides school districts with the opportunity to request funds to address extraordi- nary, unexpected changes that affect their ability to serve their students," said Governor Brownback. "We continue to see that rem- nants of the old formula create financial challenges for some of our districts." According to the Kansas State Department of Education, total student enrollment across the state showed an increase of 395 students. Of the state's 268 school districts, 168 saw reduced enrollment, 31 were flat and 87 saw an increase. School districts experiencing a decrease in enrollment benefit from the block grant as their funding was based on the previous year's higher enrollment numbers. The Council also approved $2,978,323 for 16 school districts for reduction in oil and gas valuations greater than a five percent threshold. The Deerfield, Quinter and Moscow school districts received $496,134 related to oil and gas settlements. Deerfield received $141,342; Quinter received $232,976; and Moscow received $121,816. Hugo- ton received $433.320. The extraordinary needs fund was established as part of SB 7, the historic K- 12 education block grant passed by the legislature and signed by the Governor. Year - to - date funding through the "extraordinary needs" process now totals $9,363,599. Approximately $2.9 million remains in the fund.

City of Hugoton employees Jan Leonard andTrevor Crane find the perfect placement for the
Christmas lights on the trees lining Hugoton’sMain Street.
Hugoton families, churchesand groups are not waitinguntil Thanksgiving Day to ex-press gratitude. Instead, thisweek they are giving back bylovingly packing gifts of joy forchildren around the world livingin extreme poverty or affectedby war, disease, and naturaldisaster. For many of thesechildren, it will be the first gift
they have ever received. Her-itage Christian Academy at 505East First Street in Hugoton willhappily accept shoeboxes anddonations for Operation Christ-mas Child until November 18.
November 16-23, hundredsof Hugoton residents will packshoebox gifts filled with a “Wow”item - like a doll or soccer ball -and other fun toys, school supplies, hygiene items andnotes of encouragement. Operation Christmas Child, aproject of the internationalChristian relief and evangelismorganization Samaritan’s Purse,will deliver the gifts to childrenin need overseas.
“We have so much to bethankful for here in America.Most of us have a roof over ourheads, beds with pillows tosleep on, and food on our table.But for many children livingoverseas, tough living condi-
tions and extreme poverty haveleft them with little hope,” saidDenise Woods. “It is amazing tosee the joy on children’s faceswhen they receive these gifts. Itcan be a tangible reminder thatthey are loved and not forgot-ten, despite their difficult cir-cumstances.”
After being dropped off at theHugoton site at Heritage Christian Academy, the Ulyssescollection site at the PattersonAvenue Church of God, 100 W.Patterson Avenue, or the Liberalcollection site of 621 N. WesternAvenue, First Southern BaptistChurch, these boxes will make
the long journey overseas, trav-eling by any means necessary -boat, plane, train and even ele-phant - until they reach thehands of children in need. In2015, Operation ChristmasChild hopes to collect enoughshoebox gifts to reach morethan 11 million children, withmany coming from the Hugotonarea. Since 1993, the projecthas delivered shoebox gifts tomore than 124 million childrenin over 150 countries and territories.
It’s not too late to get involved, and anyone can participate in this life-changing
project for children around theworld. Although this week isNational Collection Week, shoe-box gifts are collected year-round at the Samaritan’s Purseheadquarters in Boone, N.C.
With a computer or mobiledevice, anyone can conveniently pack a personal-ized Operation Christmas Childshoebox gift on the Samaritan’sPurse Web site. These gifts ofhope will go to children in someof the hardest-to-reach countries. Go to samari-tanspurse. org/occ to selecttoys and gift items, write a noteof encouragement, and “pack”
them in a shoebox.Participants can follow their
box online to discover where inthe world their gift is deliveredby using the donation formfound at samaritanspurse.org/occ.
Operation Christmas Childis a project of Samaritan’sPurse, an international Chris-tian relief and evangelism or-ganization headed by FranklinGraham. For more informationabout how to participate in Op-eration Christmas Child, call620-353-3357 or visit samaritanspurse.org/occ.

High Plains Music FestOur Relay For Life Committee would like to spotlight the committeeof the High Plains Music Fest. Jan Leonard approached us two yearsago about the event asking if we would be interested in helping withselling the tickets. He said the committee wanted to donate theprofits to local charities and we would be one of them. We said,“Yes, we would love to help!” We were very impressed with theoverall event and had a great time helping out. In return, we werevery generously given a check for $8,000! We were overwhelmedwith their donation. We helped out again this year with ticket andtoken sales and were once again pleased with the overall event; thiscommittee is very organized and generous with the money raised.This year, once again, we received a donation of $5,000 for a twoyear donation of $13,000. This money will go a long ways in helpingwith research in finding a cure and helping cancer patients. Thankyou High Plains Music Fest Committee for putting on a great eventand donating to so many charities in our community!

Dyslexia is a condition thataffects the way the brainprocesses written and spokenlanguage. According to Under-stood.org, an online collective of15 nonprofit organizations thataim to support parents of chil-dren with learning and attentionissues, researchers have yet todetermine what causes dyslexia.However, research has foundthat genes and brain differencesmay play a role in a child’s riskfactor for dyslexia. A study fromthe National Center for the Studyof Adult Learning and Literacyfound that about 40 percent ofsiblings of children with dyslexiamay have the same issues withreading as their brothers and/orsisters. The anatomy of the brainmay also look different in kidswith dyslexia than it does in kidswho are not dyslexic. Within thebrain, the planum temporale
helps to understand language.This area is typically larger in thedominant hemisphere of thebrain (the left side for right-handed people, the right side forleft-handed people), but amongpeople with dyslexia, the planumtemporale is very likely the samesize on both sides of the brain.Dyslexia affects each person dif-ferently, and some people withdyslexia may experience symp-toms more severely than others.Some children may experienceno difficulty with early readingand writing, but may experienceproblems with grammar, readingcomprehension and in-depthwriting as they grow older. Par-ents who suspect their childrenmay be exhibiting signs ofdyslexia should speak with theirchild’s teachers and/or physi-cians.

Kansas Weekly Gas PricesAverage retail gasoline prices
in Kansas have fallen 0.6 centsper gallon in the past week, av-eraging $2.12 per gallon Sun-day, according to GasBuddy'sdaily survey of 1,329 gas outletsin Kansas. This compares withthe national average that hasincreased 2.7 cents per gallonin the last week to $2.22 pergallon, according to gasolineprice Web site GasBuddy.com.
Including the change in gasprices in Kansas during thepast week, prices Sunday were73.0 cents per gallon lower thanthe same day one year ago andare 22.1 cents per gallon lowerthan a month ago. The national
average has decreased 10.4cents per gallon during the lastmonth and stands 70.5 centsper gallon lower than this dayone year ago.
"Motorists were hit with ris-ing gas prices in 33 of the na-tion's 50 states, catching upwith recent increases in crudeoil prices, while the Midwest,stung from increases from theprevious week, saw relief," saidPatrick DeHaan, GasBuddysenior petroleum analyst.
"While we'll see lower gaso-line prices to return to much ofthe country in the weeks ahead,these types of isolated blips ingasoline prices do occasionally
happen during times whencrude oil prices are volatile.With recent Fed commentsabout raising interest rates pro-pelling markets, don't be sur-prised if we see occasional smallgas prices increases followed bydecreases, leading to a lowergasoline prices in time for theholidays," DeHaan said.

The Hugoton Eagles Var-sity football team staged aheroic comeback to upendthe Colby Eagles. The visitors'bleachers were filled to ca-pacity in Colby as the fans forHugoton traveled in droves tosupport their team. The rau-cous supporters stood ontheir feet to encourage Hugo-ton to never give up and pushtheir way past Colby enrouteto the sectionals of Class 4ADivision II playoffs. The nextgame at home has an early6:00 p.m. start Friday, No-vember 13.
The first quarter of playwas a series of punts, fourdowns and out and plenty ofyellow flags. Neither teamcould push the football intothe end zone. Hugoton haddifficulties just getting a playcompleted as the game wascalled very closely by the offi-cials. It was difficult to gatherany type of momentum asHugoton was trying to gainadvantage with their field po-sition.
During the next quarter ofplay, Hugoton's playersseemed more determined togain yards on the field. WadeHeger was successful obtain-ing a first down as he ran theball through the Colby defen-sive line. Valentino Degolladoalso ran the football down tothe 18 yard line, howevermore penalties against Hugo-ton pushed them out of thered zone. Paden Cornelsenstopped a Colby drive with ahuge interception for Hugo-ton. The end of the first halfhad the score knotted at zero.
At the beginning of thegame, Hugoton had won thecoin toss, yet they deferredpossession to have it at thebeginning of the third quar-
ter. The first opportunity forthe Hugoton Eagles in thethird quarter was erased by aColby Eagle interception.Later, Colby's Jordan Schip-pers caught the football for a30 yard touchdown. Colby ledHugoton at this point by ascore of 7 - 0. Not finished,Jordan Schippers from Colbyran for three yards for an-other touchdown. Hugotonwas now down by 14 pointsto a team they had beatenhandily earlier in the year inSeptember with a 27 - 8 win.However, Regional play takesplace in November and theEagles' first game wasmonths ago.
Before the end of the thirdquarter, Degollado brokeloose and ran in from 25yards out to score a Hugotontouchdown. The Eagles fromHugoton were clawing backand not giving up their sea-son for now. The scoreboardnow showed 14 points forColby and six for Hugoton.
An eight point deficit and aticking fourth quarter clockon a foreign football fieldstood in the way of Hugotoncontinuing their season orending it three hours awayfrom home. Early on in thefourth quarter, Daniel
Bustillos caught a pass fromValentino Degollado for a 19yard touchdown. The twopoint conversion was no goodand now Hugoton trailed by
only two points in the game. The stage was set with
only 2:37 left in the contestwith Hugoton in possessionof the football on the Colby20 yard line. Degolladobrought the team to the linewith the daunting task ofconverting on a third downwith 20 yards to go for atouchdown. Tyler Goodegathered in a reception fromDegollado for a touchdown toput Hugoton up over Colby.The two point conversion wassuccessful to Hunter Kerbowand now Hugoton finally hadthe lead over Colby 20-14.
The Hugoton fans weredelirious in the stands cele-brating the comeback. Then,Colby struck for a long gaintaking them deep into Hugo-ton's end of the field. Beingonly up by six points, itseemed as if the celebrationby the fans might have beena little early. The Colby Ea-gles went for a pass to add totheir score, however, HunterKerbow had a different idea.Hunter stepped in front of theColby receiver and inter-
cepted the ball for Hugoton.That sealed the victory.Hugoton had won! The finalscore was Hugoton 20 andColby 14.
Interesting statistics forthe game are as follows:Hugoton was penalized 12times for 110 yards. The lead-ing rusher for Hugoton wasDegollado with 120 yards on30 attempts. Degollado had219 passing yards for thegame.
Coach Todd Fulton said,"Our kids were resilienttonight and battled throughand kept believing that theywould win. At this time of theyear when it's 'win or gohome', they have developed amental toughness that willnot only carry over into theAndale game but a trait theywill use for the rest of theirlives."
Hugoton has their nextplayoff game at home Friday,November 13, at 6:00 p.m.Yes, the game is starting anhour earlier than the stan-dard start time. Their oppo-nent will be Andale. Hugotonfans should pack the homestands as this Eagle team isin the sectional playoff game.Friday at 6:00 p.m., be thereand bring your Eagle pride!

By U.S. Senator Jerry MoranAs Veterans in Kansas and
across the country separatefrom the military and transi-tion into civilian life, they havethe opportunity to forge a newpath. After serving our nation,many Veterans dream of con-tinuing their service by givingback to their communities assmall business owners and en-trepreneurs. According toKansas City’s Ewing MarionKauffman Foundation, nearlyone in ten small businesses inthe United States are owned byVeterans, and nearly 25 per-cent of all post-9/11 Veteransaspire to be small businessowners. We owe it to theseAmerican heroes to help thempursue their entrepreneurialdreams.
American Veterans are eligi-ble for a range of educationalbenefits to pursue higher edu-cation or specialized trainingunder the G.I. Bill. The originalG.I. Bill, drafted in 1944 as TheServicemembers ReadjustmentAct, was intended to give re-turning Veterans the opportu-nity to seek training, educationand home or business loans tobecome gainfully employed orto employ themselves. Nearly49 percent of Veterans from“The Greatest Generation”owned their own business andtheir success was due in partto their benefit. Today, onlyhalf of eligible Veterans arecurrently using their G.I. Billbenefit, and according to theVA’s 2015 Veteran EconomicOpportunity Report only 48
percent are completing degreeprograms. While higher educa-tion is essential for many,some have a different callingand entrepreneurship may betheir path to a successful tran-sition back to civilian life.
Because many Veteransdream of owning a businessrather than returning to theclassroom, it’s common senseto give them a choice with howthey can use their earned G.I.Bill benefit. That is why Sena-tor Jon Tester of Montana andI introduced the Veterans En-trepreneurial Transition Act of2015 (VET Act), S. 1870. Thisbipartisan legislation wouldempower Veterans to accessresources through the SmallBusiness Administration (SBA)and their G.I. Bill benefit inorder to become entrepre-neurs, create jobs for Ameri-cans, and grow our economy.
The VET Act proposes aninnovative three-year pilot pro-gram - overseen by SBA - en-abling Veterans to utilize theirG.I. Bill benefit to start a newbusiness or purchase an exist-ing business or franchise. Tomake certain Veterans havethe highest chance of success,they must complete an SBA-approved entrepreneurialtraining program and developan SBA-approved businessplan among other milestonesestablished by a personal advi-sor and in coordination withthe SBA.
According to a recent surveyconducted by Bunker Labs – anational Veteran startup incu-
bator – an overwhelming 90percent of the Veterans sur-veyed would like to use theirG.I. Bill benefit to start a smallbusiness. And, nearly 95 per-cent would complete an entre-preneurial training program inorder to do so.
The VET Act is gaining mo-mentum in Congress. Just oneday after introduction, it waspassed unanimously by theU.S. Senate Small Businessand Entrepreneurship Com-mittee. It’s also no surprise thelegislation is supported by awide array of entrepreneur,startup and Veterans groups.
As 1 Vet at a Time FounderC. Lynn Lowder put it, “[it] rep-resents a real opportunity forour Veterans…the VET Act willprovide…today’s Veterans thesame opportunities that theoriginal 1944 Act providedtheir grandfathers.”
Engine Executive DirectorJulie Samuels added, “As a
nonprofit advocacy and re-search organization that workswith a network of startups, pi-oneers, innovators, investorsand technologists, Engine ap-plauds…introduction ofS.1870… [the] bill will provideVeterans with much neededflexibility when it comes tousing their GI benefits, and willmake it significantly easier forVeterans to participate in thestartup economy.”
New businesses succeedwhen those with good ideas arewilling to work hard to reachtheir goals, and no group has astronger work ethic than ournation’s Veterans. As we honorour nation’s heroes this Veter-ans Day, let’s make certainwhether they wish to start theirown business, commence a jobsearch, or go back to school,Veterans are able to achievethe same American Dreamthey sacrificed so much to pro-tect.
For Veterans Day, the nationhonors the men and womenwho risk their lives to protectour freedom. Social Securityhonors Veterans and activeduty members of the militaryevery day by giving them the re-spect they deserve. A vital partof that is administering the So-cial Security disability program.
For those who return homewith injuries, Social Security isa resource they can turn to. Ifyou know any wounded Veter-ans, please let them know aboutSocial Security’s Wounded War-riors Web site. You can find it atwww.socialsecurity.gov/woundedwarriors.
The Wounded Warriors’ Website answers many commonlyasked questions, and sharesother useful information aboutdisability benefits, includinghow Veterans can receive expe-dited processing of disabilityclaims. Benefits availablethrough Social Security are dif-ferent than those from the De-partment of Veterans Affairsand require a separate applica-tion.
The expedited process isused for military service mem-
bers who become disabled whileon active military service on orafter October 1, 2001, regard-less of where the disability oc-curs.
Even active duty militarywho continue to receive paywhile in a hospital or on medicalleave should consider applyingfor disability benefits if they’reunable to work due to a dis-abling condition. Active dutystatus and receipt of militarypay doesn’t necessarily preventpayment of Social Security dis-ability benefits. Although a per-son can’t receive Social Securitydisability benefits while engag-ing in substantial work for payor profit, receipt of military pay-ments should never stop some-one from applying for disabilitybenefits from Social Security.

Make tax payments from home with IRS Direct Pay
by Tom EmeryMen and women in service
have many needs, includingrecreation and education.For thousands of Americantroops in World War II, theVictory Book Campaign cov-ered both.
Though forgotten today,the campaign was a wildlysuccessful national programto collect and distribute read-ing material to the armedforces. Millions of bookswere enjoyed by the troops,providing a welcome respitefrom the drudgery and stressof daily military life.
Andrew Brozyna, a Cali-fornia-based freelance bookdesigner, has studied andwritten on the Victory BookCampaign, and he believesthe campaign had a happyeffect on men in the field.
“I’m sure they enjoyedhaving something to read,”said Brozyna. “There’s a lot ofdowntime for servicemen,and the boredom that comesfrom having nothing to do.The campaign gave thempiece of home, wherever theywere from.”
Collection of books beganJanuary 12, 1942 as citizenswere asked to donate suit-able books for the enjoymentof servicemen and women.Only books of good qualitywere accepted. Donors onlocal levels in one state weretold “no attic cleaningswanted...give a book youhave enjoyed - give a bookyou would rather keep.”
Kansas residents donateda total of 124,673 books inthe two years of the cam-paign. Local efforts in townswere directed by the city li-brarian, a library boardmember, or a prominent citi-zen.
“The reaction from thepublic was very enthusias-tic,” said Brozyna. “The or-ganizers made it easy toparticipate, and anyone, evenchildren, could donate a usedbook. Everyone wanted topitch in, and do their part forthe war effort. They may nothave been able to afford warbonds, but they could donatea book.”
Books were shipped tomilitary camps in nearlyevery state in the nation, andwere received with tremen-dous enthusiasm. In highestdemand were Westerns andmysteries, in addition to cur-rent best sellers, recent tech-nical books, joke and cartoonbooks, and pocket-sized pub-lications. Cash contributions
were also received to buybooks. Pocket Bibles proveda popular choice for pur-chase.
One woman donated acopy of Gone with the Wind,with a letter attached: “If thefirst boy that reads this bookwill write to me, I will sendhim a chocolate cake.” RalphMcCoy, the director for thecampaign in Illinois, hand-delivered the book to the li-brarian at Fort Sheridan,“who agreed to plant thebook where it would be foundby a cake-hungry soldier.”
The librarian at a trainingbase in Washington declaredthat “the Victory Book Cam-paign is wonderful...(themen) are mad for readingmaterial. If a five minutebreak comes, out come thebooks and magazines.”
Many books were used inacademic pursuits. TheWashington librarian statedthat the soldiers wanted “toreturn home with knowledgeof the world...Textbooks! Wecan’t keep them on theshelves.” The demand in-cluded “every branch ofmathematics” as well as for-eign language texts. Thewriter concluded that bookswere “even more popularthan poker.”
Nationally, The VictoryBook Campaign collectedover 10.8 million books bythe end of 1942. The cam-paign was renewed in 1943,with increased involvement
from national organizationssuch as Rotary, 4-H, andLions clubs. Another 7.6 mil-lion books came in, but ahigh number of books weredeemed unusable. In thosetwo years, some 8.1 millionbooks were not used.
The national effort closedlater in 1943. In all, some10.3 million usable booksnationwide were donated tothe Victory Book Campaignduring its existence.

“Notes From Nancy”by Stevens County FACS Agent Nancy Honig
To Brine or not to Brine?Thanksgiving and turkey.
The two are almost alwayslinked together. So for thosewho traditionally serve aturkey on Thanksgiving thequestion may be, to brine ornot to brine?
What is the purpose ofbrining a turkey? Meat con-tains a lot of water and verylittle salt, so when it is im-mersed in a salty brine thesalt moves from the brineinto the meat, and waterfrom the meat into the brine.The meat becomes saltierand drier. As the sodium at-taches to the long, inter-twined muscle proteins itcauses the proteins to pushapart from one another. Thismakes room for more water,and salt, and weakens themuscle fibers. Brined meatsgain ten percent or more oftheir original weight in waterand salt. Then, when they’recooked the swollen musclefibers can lose some moistureand still have enough left toseem juicy.
The down side to serving abrined turkey is the highamount of sodium that is re-tained within the meat. Youhave to decide if the highersodium content is worth amoister texture.
Brines can be liquid or
dry. Either way, make sureyour turkey is completelythawed before beginning tobrine, remove the giblets andneck, and rinse the turkeyinside and out. Also allowenough time. As a rule ofthumb, you should brineyour turkey 45 to 60 minutesper pound.
For a liquid brine be sureto mix ingredients until all ofthe salt is dissolved. If yourbrine is heated, be sure tocool it to room temperaturebefore brining. Place yourturkey, breast down, in alarge container made of food-grade plastic, stainless steel,glass, or a brining bag. Besure the container will fit inyour refrigerator. Add brine,covering the entire turkey.Place in the refrigerator forthe specified period of time.Then remove and rinse thor-oughly before cooking.
Dry brine can be donemore on a last minute basisand only needs to set on theturkey for six to seven hoursbefore cooking. Sometimesthe recipe will recommendtoasting the seasonings first.Gently separate the skin fromthe breast meat and applythe dry brine to the turkey.Also apply the brine insidethe cavity and all over thelegs and back. Wrap loosely
with plastic wrap and refrig-erate for six to seven hours.Rinse off well and pat dry.
There are many argu-ments for brining and notbrining. Some think briningtakes away from the turkeytaste and leaves bland fla-vors. Others insist that brin-ing, especially with variousherbs added, creates a betterflavor. Personally, I think it’sa matter of taste. Most im-portantly, regardless of yourbrining or cooking methods,be sure and observe safe foodpractices when preparingyour holiday turkey.• Allow plenty of time tothaw your turkey.• Never thaw your turkey onthe counter, and if quickthawing your turkey in thesink be sure to change thewater every 30 minutes tokeep the whole turkey chilledwhile thawing.• Make sure to cook yourturkey to the needed done-ness of 165 degrees F in allparts of the turkey.• When the turkey is done,remove from the oven andallow to stand for 20-30 min-utes before carving. This al-lows the juices to redistributethroughout the meat, andmakes carving easier.
Journey to Bethlehem is afree community event takingplace at the Jetmore UnitedMethodist Church at 205 E.Highway Street in Jetmore De-cember 12-13. This year marksthe sixteenth annual Journeyto Bethlehem presented by theHodgeman County churches.Tours are from 5:30 to 8:30p.m. each night.

Relax and begin yourtravel back in time as youshare mint tea and cookieswith a storyteller who will shareinformation about the histori-cal period and region. Thenwalk Journey to Bethlehem2015 and gain an even deeperunderstanding of the prophe-cies and events surroundingChrist's birth.
Donors give to charitythroughout the year, but thecharity watchdog group,Charity Navigator, reportsaround 40 percent of donorsmake their annual contribu-tions between Thanksgivingand New Year’s Day. No mat-ter when one gives, the deci-sion to support a charityshould never be made lightly.Some people choose to do-nate to charities focusing oncauses that resonate withthem. Emotional feelings candrive donation decisions, butit’s important to do some re-search into the charitable or-ganization to determine how
efficiently the charity oper-ates and how effective the or-ganization ultimately is atfulfilling its mission.
Look at how much of yourmoney actually goes towardthe cause you are support-ing, paying attention to howthe organization allocates do-nations. The majority of do-nation dollars should go tothe cause and not toward organizational overhead.Here are some questions toask before selecting a charity.• Does the charity addressthe most serious problems inthe most cost-effective ways?• How much money is de-voted to overhead versus pro-gram outreach?• Are the charity’s interven-tions really working?• Will this charity help thegreatest number of peoplewith your donation?• Is the organization honestand transparent?
Individuals can make useof resources made availableby the Better Business Bu-reau, Charity Navigator andGiveWell to see if charitiesmeet their criteria.

The Moscow Baptist HillbillyPraise Band has had an awe-some and very busy summerschedule. In June, the Bandstarted off with an inspirationaltime visiting Garden Valley Re-tirement Village in Garden City.Terry’s mom lives there and re-ally enjoys everyone coming upto visit with her. She also en-joys listening to them sing andplay those “Good Old GospelFavorites” to everyone else inthe retirement center.
The next week some of theHillbilly’s were involved in theMoscow Community VBS wrap-up party. There were hot dogs,cotton candy, pinatas, bouncehouses, games and face paint-ing in the park on the final day.Everyone had a lot of fun.
Cedar Village in Ness Citywas the next stop. The peoplethere had not seen the Hillbilliesplay before, so they were in fora treat. Songs were sung, testi-monies were told, God’s wordwas shared and a lot of fellow-ship was taking place after themusic. The people were so gra-cious, that as the band waspreparing to leave, they linedboth sides of the hallway to say“thank you and come backagain” one more time.
When the Hillbillies left thecare home, they had one morething to take care of before leav-ing town, they had to find aplace to air up an almost flattire. After the third place ofchecking around town, to noavail, they were finally rescuedby their own “guardian angel”.A farmer caught them at a gasstation and took them to hisshop where he changed theirtire, only to find it was ruined.The farmer put the spare tire onfor them. He aired it up andthey were on their way. The Hill-billies owe Travis Sutton a greatbig thank you for all his help.THANKS TRAVIS!
The next weekend, theyplayed at Seward County CivicCenter for the “Summer Picnic”event, hosted by the First Na-tional Bank. there were lots ofpeople, lots of great food and, ofcourse, lots of the “Good OldGospel Music”.
The next place was the“Legacy@Parkview” in Ulysses.One of the social groups therewere having a party. The Hillbil-lies were selected to come andcelebrate a really good timesinging, playing and visitingwith everyone. They also sharedsome great pizza from PizzaHut.
Next was their own home-town favorite again at PioneerManor. The Hillbillies like visit-ing with everyone and catchingup on the news. Of course shar-ing God’s word and singing Hispraises is aways on the agenda.
The Northeast New MexicoDetention Center at Clayton,N.M. had their “Bikes on theYard” event in August. The Hill-billies were there to share agreat day singing out on theyard and visiting and eating wa-termelon. It was great to hearthe prison bands play theirmusic too. They do a great jobwith a lot of the songs they writeand compose.
Camp Gibson was next. TheHillbillies played for the Texas-Oklahoma Panhandle Associa-tion Seniors Super SummerPicinic. Wow! That’s quite amouthful! The Hillbillies alwaysenjoy playing for this group.They’ve played for them manytimes before and they’re all likeold friends now. Mike played“Hillbilly Idol” with four of theunsuspecting new-comers.They had to play a song on akazoo and the two ladies playedin perfect harmony. Great jobladies! It was a fun day foreveryone.
In September, the Hillbillieswent to Kinsley Medical Lodgesin Kinsley. They were surprisedby having some of their home-town people from Moscow showup there to enjoy the music.Relatives of one of the bandmembers and a friend fromTurpin, Ok., who lives therenow, showed up as well. Younever know who might show upwherever! The people who livethere, and their yellow lab“mascot” enjoyed the day withall the singing, playing andsharing God’s word. What agreat day!
October started off with theHillbillies returning to GardenValley Retirement Village to playfor Dorothy Miller’s eighty-thirdbirthday party. Dorothy’s familywas on hand after the music toshare a meal and, of course,have some birthday cake.Happy Birthday Dorothy, theHillbillies love you!
The Hillbillies then moved onto Pratt to help celebrate theopening of the “Bread of Life”Community Kitchen. They are afree-will kitchen open to thepublic, and no one is turnedaway. The “Bread of Life” Com-munity Kitchen’s mission is tohelp people in their communitythrough education, compas-
sion, resourcing and mentoring.Also, to connect people to serv-ices, ministries or organizationsavailable to them, or to providepeople a safe place to talk aboutproblems and seek guidance.They are a Christian based or-ganization that seeks to use allthe “tools” available in order toprotect and increase the qualityof life for those served. The Hill-billies sang and played on MainStreet under the old theatermarquee. Darroll participated intheir Fireman’s Barrel Chal-lenge. Pratt Fire Department lethim gear up in some of theirbunker gear and go play withthe other firefighters. He said itwas a lot of fun and a lot of workholding the fire hose and push-ing the barrel with the water tothe other side, but he couldn’thold on and had to give in at theend. He sure got wet!
The Hillbillies last event wasfor the Baptist Church “Trunkor Treat” in Goodwell, Ok. Theyplayed out on the grass in frontof the church. Many trick-or-treaters were there to playgames like ring toss and plinko,and also to get at that candy!Everyone enjoyed some goodchili cooked by the “guys” at thechurch and it was “goooood”.The chili warmed up the tum-mies on the pristine fall eveningGod provided. “Our God is anAwesome God!” The Hillbillieshave been invited back to playnext spring.

The Hillbillies have manyplaces already lined up and arelooking forward to being theresharing God’s Word!
The Moscow Baptist “TeamKid” afterschool program isinto their third month ofbuilding their “Road 2 Life”project. So far the kids havelearned the Lord’s Prayer, thePledge to the American Flag,the Pledge to the Christianflag, the Pledge to the HolyBible and the Twenty-ThirdPsalm. They have alsolearned the ABC’s: “A” Admit,“B” Believe, “C” Confess, andJohn 3:16. The kids thenlearned the Team Kid motto:LUL, “L” Learning about God,“U” Using the Bible, “L” Livingfor Jesus. Moscow Baptist“Team Kids” review the booksof the Bible, the Ten Co-mandments, The Fruits of theSpirit, things they are grate-ful for and a lot of other infor-mation. The kids are buildingtheir road on the walls of theFellowship Hall with a lot ofthe places they have beenand the places they are going.It is amazing where God hasled them and where He willlead them. Moscow Baptist“Team Kid” afterschool pro-gram must be prepared forthose “pot holes” in life, andthey are learning differentscriptures each week to leadthem along His path.
Each week they reviewwhat they have learned so farand add to that informationas they go. Sometimes theyget to do a special craft andhave a party. They made

We walked through a few streetsand we were back in the plaza of theWestern Wall in the Jewish Quarter.We went out of the Dung Gate onemore time, and to the bus. We left anddrove back to the city of David to thechurch called The Church of St. Peterin Gallicantu, or The Crow of the Roos-ter. Locally it is called the RoosterChurch. It was built on the site of thehouse of the High Priest Joseph Ca-iaphas. We went underneath to adungeon. Maybe Christ was heldthere? This was the place where Peterdenied the Lord. We left this church aswe were going to the Shrine of the BookMuseum near the Knesset. Outside ofthe shrine was a 1:50 scale model ofthe ancient city of Jerusalem completewith Herod’s Temple in its fullgrandeur. This entire model whichtook 12 years to build was made com-pletely of limestone just like most ofJerusalem past and present is made of.The Shrine of the Book had a roofwhich was shaped like the lid of a jarin which the scrolls were found in. Areplica of the book of Isaiah, which wasfound at Qumran was backlit and wasdisplayed in a circular case.We left this museum and went to the
Mount Herzl National Cemetery, wherethe Yad Veshem Holocaust Museumwas.
My Dad, James Light was with the3rd Army, Rainbow division, on the daythe Dachau Concentration Camp wasliberated. I have honored this event asvery important in my Dad’s life. At 20years of age he was affected by thisevent. He saw hundreds of bodiesstacked on railroad flat cars. The cre-matoria were still smoking. The smellof rotting flesh hung in the air. He sawthe walking dead behind barb wire.One half day at Dachau has hauntedhim, on occasion for a lifetime. My in-terest in Israel and Judaism has al-ways been linked to my Dad'sexperience during the war. I was goingto a sad place, and I knew it. I havebeen to the Holocaust Museum inWashington DC, and the SimonWiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. Thiswould be similar. My connection withour guide, Ron, on Mount Scopus twonights earlier was on my mind. Whenwe got into the museum Ron told usthat tour guides were prohibited fromgoing on tours with their own groups.The museum wanted everyone to rentan electronic headpiece so peoplewould have a consistent tour. Tourguides talk loudly and they could insertopinions that might not be accurate.Ron told us good- bye and said that hewould go though the gift shop and walkbackward through the museum untilhe met up with us.We looked around and saw what Eu-
rope was like before the war. The Jewswere people just like any other group ofpeople. They were functioning in theculture. They had what they thoughtwere normal lives, but all was about tochange; meanwhile Ron showed up.
We were close to the U.S. Army films ofthe liberation of Dachau. Ron wantedto be there with Steffan and I. Wewatched for a few minutes. “This waswhere my Dad was. These were sightsthat he saw”.
Ron said “let's move on.” We founda hall of fame dedicated to RighteousGentiles who helped save Jews duringthe war. Ron showed us a picture ofRaul Wallenberg, Ron said to us, "Hereis the man who saved my grandmotherand my mother." At the end of the mu-seum was a vista overlooking a growingforest. It was an expression of hope.We were out of the holocaust museumthinking we were past our sadness, butone more sad site was waiting; a darkmuseum with a single light reflected ina bunch of mirrors with a recordingcalling the names of all the childrenwho were known to have been lost inthe Holocaust.
The bus came and got us, we weregoing back to the Old City. We wentthrough the Jaffa Gate. We walked toan old arch near the Church of theHoly Sepulchre and a shopping areawith restaurants. We were with ourtour guide. I ordered shish kabobmade with lamb. Steffan pickedshawarma and humus. He loveshumus. We finished our lunch. Steffanand I went to the church of the HolySepulchre.
Wikipedia explains the arrange-ment of Christian churches that usethis building. Today it also serves asthe headquarters of the Greek Ortho-dox Patriarch of Jerusalem, while con-trol of the building is shared betweenseveral Christian churches and secularentities in complicated arrangementsessentially unchanged for centuries.Today, the church is home to branchesof Eastern Orthodoxy and Oriental Or-thodoxy as well as to Roman Catholi-cism. Anglicans and Protestants haveno permanent presence in the Churchand some have regarded the GardenTomb, elsewhere in Jerusalem, as thetrue place of Jesus' crucifixion and res-urrection.
These Christian churches havebeen fighting over the building for athousand years. The keys to thechurch and doorkeeping responsibili-ties have been in the hands of twoMuslim families since 1187 AD, or-dered by Saladin, so the Christianswouldn't fight over the building. TheTurkish Sultan Abdul Hamid I issueda Status Quo in 1757, and told them toleave everything in place where it was.A ladder has been on a balcony forabout two hundred and sixty years.We went inside where it was dark andin disrepair. Three relics were there.Traditions say that one is the site of thecrucifixion, the second is stone slabthat Christ’s body was laid on to pre-pare him for burial, and the third wasthe empty tomb from which Christ wasraised from the dead. Our tour groupdid not go into this church. Thechurch needed cleaning and repair.
The stones on the floor needed leveling.Lighting was not adequate. More thantwo hundred people were waiting totouch or kiss the stone slab where thebody of Christ possibly was preparedfor burial. Other lines had formed tosee the crucifixion site and the tomb.
We were in a historic place but itdid not feel spiritual, knowing the his-tory of ongoing rivalries between theold world churches lost the sacrednessof this potential Holy Site. Our groupwas ready to walk north to the Damas-cus Gate or the Saint Stephens gate.
We walked through the MuslimQuarter in the Old City. Shops hadsupplies instead of trinkets. They hadfurniture, televisions, food, clothes;Jerusalem’s Wal-mart? We wentthrough the 15th century gate and im-mediately to our right, below streetlevel was another gate dating back tothe Herodian Era. This could havebeen the gate that Saint Stephen wastaken out of the city to be stoned.
We walked up to the highway leveland we were in a strictly Muslim areaof town, Arabic script was the onlywriting on the buildings. These build-ings were more than one hundredyears old and about four stories tall.
We walk past these buildings andfurther north to a place known as theGarden Tomb. Our appointment forour tour was 4 o'clock. This is an alter-nate sight of the crucifixion of Christ.There was a hill which looked like askull. Even if this was not the historicsite it had more of a sacred feeling thanthe old decrepit church in the Old City.
Traditions are that crucifixionswere political exercises used to controla population, usually carried out alongroads at eye level so that the con-demned could be mocked and spitupon. Stonings were where peoplewere thrown off cliffs to cause theirdeaths. If the person didn't die whentossed off a cliff then they were stonedto death to finish the punishment.
The Bible said Jesus was taken toa hill called Golgotha, or place of theskull. This rock hill that we were look-ing at was very impressive. A gardenwas near by and a real tomb datingback to the period was there. Wewalked into the tomb. Jesus was notthere. He is Risen!
We went to a little room near thegarden and had a communion service.We had been a lot of places, but wewere in Jerusalem celebrating theLord’s Supper. It was a real blessing tobe commemorating this sacred eventwith fellow believers. I went to the bookstore and bought a Hebrew New Testa-ment. We worked hard and walkedmany miles this day. We got on the busfor one more trip through Jerusalem.
Before we returned to the hotel wewent to a gift shop along the way wherethe owner told us that everything in thestore was 50% off. We went back tothe hotel and prepared for our goingaway banquet.

Most importantly this weekmake sure to honor our Veter-ans. All of them, from any timeor service, deserve our respect.Even those who supportedAmerica but maybe didn’t endup in harm’s way.
Tommy Furlong and Dr.Paula K. Ranch point out somevaluable information abouttalking to Veterans in a June27, 2014 article called “WhatNot to Say to A Veteran”. Hereare a few examples of rude andsometimes offensive things thathave been said to the Veteransthey interviewed.
First of all, never ever ask acombat Vet how many peoplethey have killed. This is a sureway to dredge up memoriesthat don’t need mentioned.
Another offensive thing tosay is asking why they wouldjoin the service during a ques-tionable war, or remarking“maybe the United Statesshould not get involved.” Sayingsomething like this is a totaldishonor to someone whorisked everything for freedom.
Don’t say you are glad theymade it and you are glad theyare “okay”. Just because theyhave all their limbs and no ob-vious physical injury does notmean they are okay. Don’t askif they have Post TraumaticStress Disorder (PTSD). TheVeteran just might suffer fromPTSD, and is dealing with it inhis or her own way. They maynot want to bring it up.
The doctor then goes on tomention things the Veterans inher study said they wanted tohear from us.
Tell a Vet “Welcome back!”,“How is the transition cominghome going for you?” or “Whathas been the most difficult partof adjusting?”
Tell them you are very inter-ested in hearing about theirservice, but ask them if theywant to talk about it or if this isa good time. Tell them you arealways ready to listen if andwhen they are ready.
Another good question isasking what the Veteran thinksis the hardest stuff to under-stand for those of us whohaven’t served. Then listen.
Most importantly, take thetime to say something to ourVeterans to show your respect.“Thank you” is a great place tostart!

When winter weatherknocks on Kansas’ door, crewsfor the Kansas Department ofTransportation will be ready.
This year KDOT is addingtwo new snow fighting ma-chines to its arsenal: the towplow. These tow plows, whichare 26-feet-long and attached toa dump truck, will be housed inColby and Olathe.
“KDOT will assess the per-formance of the tow plow inthese two different environ-ments and that will help deter-mine where future units willprovide the best results,” saidClay Adams, KDOT BureauChief of Maintenance. “Olathewas chosen because of the hightraffic volumes and urban area.Colby was chosen to see howwell the tow plow would do onopen stretches of highway thatare often subjected to highwinds and drifting.”
When the tow plow is in useit will swing out the right sidetaking up a full lane, allowing asingle operator to plow twolanes of highway in one pass.Drivers need to be patient whenfollowing a tow plow; they aredoing twice as much work as asingle plow truck. They also
should be aware when passinga snow plow because othertrucks have wing plows that ex-tend. Check out the videoshowing how the tow plowworks at http://bit.ly/1MGW-bVn.
“Other states have been op-erating tow plows for severalyears and it has been proven tobe an effective tool in snowfighting,” Adams said. “KDOTprovides snow fighter trainingevery year across the state onthe best practices when plowingand spreading material. Thisyear is no different; our staff istrained and ready to respond towhat winter will bring us.”
To know the conditions be-fore venturing out, Kansas trav-elers can obtain route-specificroad conditions and weather bycalling 5-1-1 within the state or866-511- 5368 from out ofstate. The same informationand more can be obtained byvisiting the KanDrive Web site,http://www.kandrive.org,which has maps and cameraviews of the state.
Those planning to travelduring or after a storm shouldfollow these safety tips:• Completely clean frost and
snow off all windows, mirrors,and lights, and use headlightsto provide optimum visibility.• Slow down, accelerate andbrake gently, and increase fol-lowing distance between othervehicles.• Don’t use cruise control.• Allow for more travel time.• Always wear a seat belt, andsecure children in the properchild safety seats.• Slow down and move overfor stopped emergency vehiclesand maintenance crews.• If possible, remain in yourvehicle, and remain buckledup; that way if a crash wouldoccur involving your car or an-other vehicle nearby, you aremore protected than if you areout in the roadway or even onthe shoulder.• If involved in a traffic crash,or need assistance, call 911, orcontact the Kansas HighwayPatrol at *47 (*HP) from a cellphone. Call *582 (*KTA) on theKansas Turnpike.
