andAmbulance Report

Dear EditorThe reason for this letter

is cause of thanksgiving.Thanksgiving is the time tobe thankful for family andfriends and loved ones wehave left. There are so manypeople that complain andare not thankful for what wehave. I am thankful for hav-ing the right to speak when Iwant to and I am thankfulfor the God given right tovote and go to church andpray when I want to and Iam so thankful to the servicemen that fight for the free-dom we do have. I think weneed to stop and think aboutthe people that are out therethat are worse off than weare just like the people thatlost their homes in the reallybad weather out there inother states like New YorkCity, losing everything theyhave in the floods. I do not

believe that they are settingthere complaining about it Ithink that they are sayingthank you Lord for keepingyour hands upon us throughall these storms.

I think we need to take agood long look at the eldersin the nursing home some ofthem can not stand on theirown they need help to get upand go to the restroom andthey need help to get up togo to dinner or supper. Youknow back when JESUS wasgetting ready to lose his lifeit was his father's plan. Butdid JESUS complain aboutgetting beat did he complainabout getting the thorns inhis head did he complainabout getting the nail's inhis hands and feet? No hetook it like a man he did so

we would have a choice to befree and to follow him. Hedoes not push himself onanyone. So why should wecomplain about what wehave and not what we do nothave we should be thankfulfor what we do have and notwhat we do not have. Weneed to remember thatcause complaining does notget us anywhere at all. Solets all be thankful for whatwe have - family friends andloved ones we have in ourlife's - wifes, husbands,sons, daughters, boyfriends,girlfriends, friends, brothersand sisters, aunts, uncles,mothers and dads. I am sothankful that my mom anddad are in Heaven and theyare not suffering anymore. Ithink we need to thank Godfor his love and mercy andgrace.

Thanks, Charles Wagner

dragging their heels in gettinggas to the new additions.They are kind of hard to workwith not having a local officeand the commissioners feelthey should have already hadthis done.

They also discussed howmuch the county was to payfor the new sign installed onthe chamber building.

JC Cantrell from Road andBridge came in. He and thecommissioners moved intoexecutive session. When thecommissioners came backinto open session JC wastelling them he had to chainthe scales to prevent possibledamage to the $800 sensors.He didn’t have anything elseto discuss.

Ashley Fiss came in to talkto the commissioners. Jimwanted some details for somebillings. Ashley explainedthem and said she could getmore detailed information ifneed be. Gary told of how hehas been at the many func-tions the new manor has of-fered and he has heardnothing but positive feedbackfrom the families and othervisitors. Maybe a remark ortwo about why they didn’tjust remodel the old one. Hisanswer is, what would theyhave done with all the resi-dents. Gary is very impressedwith the new manor. Ashleythen gave them the updatedplans for the demolition ofthe old manor.

Motion was made to pay

the bills.GIS (Geological Informa-

tion Systems) CoordinatorSusan Schulte came in totalk to the commissioners.They moved into executivesession for non-elected per-sonnel. When back in opensession, the motion wasmade and passed to giveMario Hernandez a raise.

General discussion fol-lowed. All the new plats havesewer and water to them.Gary received an email and acall from an Abengoa repre-sentative requesting a meet-ing to discuss easements forwater. This has already beenok’d by the commissioners -it would be just to work outsome details. Bob says JCneeds to be contacted also inthis matter. The commission-ers talked some more aboutthe chamber’s sign. It looksas though the amount agreedupon should include the in-stallation cost. They thentalked about the yard at thenew manor. They talkedmore about how to get hold ofBlack Hills. It doesn’t seemthat they are very customerfriendly. They really need toget their work completed outeast of town. Bob explainedto the commissioners aboutthe resolution - petition theyneed to sign in order to getthe tax sale in the works.

Dave talked about the pilotprogram - payment in lieu oftaxes - with Abengoa. It wassaid that Abengoa will be

running in the red for some-time and when they get in theblack they will talk moreabout this. Possible dates tomeet with the Abengoa repwere talked about. More dis-cussion followed about howmuch money was in the in-centive fund.

Jan Leonard came in todiscuss the Safe Routes toSchool project. A grant forthe cost of the project hasbeen approved but the cost ofthe surveying and designwork still has to be paid for inthe amount of approximately$29,000. He was asking thecommissioners to pay a thirdof this unless some other en-tities would help with theproject. Jan went on to ex-plain all the advantages ofthe safe routes. He said wewere given 100 percent andnow the government is notgiving out 100 percent any-more. Hugoton was very for-tunate to receive this. It couldalso be tied together with theWildlife and Parks project.Commissioners said theywould like to know more innumbers of who all would bewilling to join in this invest-ment. They asked Jan if heknew what percentage of chil-dren walk to school. Hedidn’t. He said the schoolwould really like to see thetraffic at the school cut downby children walking. Com-missioners asked Jan tocome back when he has a fewmore details for them.

Discussion followed Jan’sleaving about kids walking toschool.

Gene Leonard came in. Herequested an executive ses-sion for non-elected person-nel.

More discussion about themoney requested by the cityfollowed. A right-of-way willhave to be worked out withthe commissioners forground they own which oneof the proposed routescrosses. They have had onearea being considered sur-veyed for future landfill pitsso that is pretty much out.Dave expressed his favor togive the $91,287. with theunderstanding that’s thelimit. Other costs will be upto the city. Bob remindedthem the costs can be incor-porated into the prices of thelots yet to be sold. This wouldgo into the general fundthough, not replacing thefunds this would be takenout of. After more discussiona motion was made andpassed to cooperate withcosts up to $91,287 only.

They discussed Jan’s re-quest some more and decidedto wait until more details areavailable. They signed theresolution and petition for thetax sales. Bob says it is sug-gested small towns havethese tax sales every two tothree years. Stevens County’slast one was around three

years ago. Bob was askedwhat happens when the IRShas claims to these proper-ties. He said they have theright to come bid on them,otherwise the property is freeand clear after the sale. Mo-tion was made and passed toaccept the minutes of the lastmeeting. Discussion ensuedof the trees possibly needingto be replaced where the oth-ers were taken out in thecourthouse yard.

November 12, 2012 theCanvassing Board forStevens County canvassedthe November 6, 2012 Gen-eral Election totals. Today thecommissioners were giventhe results of the recount fortheir inspection. All thingschecked out with the matterin question. The official out-come was the same - Pat Hallis the new Stevens CountySecond District Commis-sioner. He ended up with 330votes and Gary Gold with309. Orignally the votes cameto Pat 323 and Gary 155. Patsaid he was present andsome of the descripancy wasthat some of the write-invotes were written in but theovals were not colored in.

Motion was made andpassed to meet with theAbengoa representative. Alsoa time needed to be set to ac-cept bids and that will be atthe next regularly scheduledcommissioner meeting De-cember 3. December 27 wasdecided to be the yearly finishup date for the commission-ers’ last meeting of the year.

Motion was made andpassed to reappoint JackRowden to the Economic De-velopment Board. There arealso two open spots for thehospital board. The commis-sioners have two people inmind but decided to let themattend a couple of hospitalboard meetings before ap-pointing them.

Charlie Wagner, theStevens County representa-tive for the Silver Haired Leg-islature, brought in his reportfrom his last meeting.

Tony McBride came in totalk to the commissioners.He had some additionalmoney requests for the oldmanor asbestos removal.Some additional asbestos hasbeen found under some car-pet. It is not as dangerous asthe kind found in ceilings andaround pipes but it is as-bestos. After much discus-sion a motion was made to goahead and pay the approxi-mate $7,000. for the removalof this asbestos. The motionpassed two to one as Jim op-posed the motion. Tony wasasked about the yard at thenew manor. He said it is hardbecause the water has to beturned off and on due thepossibility of freezing.

Meeting adjourned.

This year is the first yearsince Project Hope was estab-lished that there are not enoughfunds to furnish a ham or turkeyfor Thanksgiving for families thatare in need. Last year the fami-lies received the normal foodboxes and also a turkey or ham.However, there was more moneyin the bank last year. This yearthe board has had to spend al-most all the money they receivejust to provide food for the boxes.

Project Hope now serves 155families in Stevens County. Proj-ect Hope President DebbieNordling reported many morepeople are in need of food thanin previous years and less dona-tions are coming in.

Feeding Americans did a sur-vey on Stevens County. Theyfound 590 persons are at risk ofgoing hungry in Stevens County.Debbie stated this is 10.7% ofthe county. Project Hope feeds539 people monthly.

Debbie commented in Octo-ber, the board decided with themoney in the bank they would

furnish extra food for each familybox instead of giving each familya turkey or ham. They felt it wasmore important to provide extrafood than to provide a turkey orham for just one day. Foodprices are up now and donationsare down. The board felt this

would make the dollars donatedgo further.

Donations are still coming inbut in smaller amounts. ProjectHope is very appreciative of allthe donations, both food andmonetary. However, most of thefood goes out as fast as Project

Hope receives it. Christmas is coming soon

and more donations will beneeded. Please help everyone inStevens County have a greatChristmas and make sure noone will go hungry.

Middle school students brought the collecteditems to Project Hope. The Middle School

Thanksgiving Drive collected 661 food items,two turkeys and one ham.

Nearly 100,000 hunterswill pursue deer in Kansasthis fall, and those numberswill peak from now throughearly December. The archeryseason is open, and Novem-ber is the most popularmonth with bowhunters. Theregular firearm season is No-vember 28 to December 9.One important regulationhunters should be aware of isdeer must be tagged beforebeing moved from the site of

the kill. Unless a hunter hasan either-sex permit, thehead must remain attachedto the carcass while in transitto a residence or place ofcommercial processing orpreservation. However, theagency does offer a voluntaryoption for transporting har-vested deer that allowshunters to register their deerthrough the Internet, usingphotos taken at the harvestsite. Once registered, the

hunter may then transportthe carcass without the headattached. If Internet access isunavailable at the kill site,the hunter can retain thephotographs while in transitand a registration numbercan be obtained later. To ac-cess the electronic deercheck-in, go online to theKDWPT Web site, www.ksoutdoors.com, and click “Hunt-ing/ Big Game/ Deer/ DeerCheck-in.”

This is not a telephone reg-istration system and it is notrequired.

The hunter is walkedthrough the registrationprocess and given the neces-sary instructions. The regis-tration process requires thehunter to submit two digitalphotographs — one close-upclearly showing the com-pleted tag attached to thedeer and a second showingthe entire body of the deerwith the head still attached.Once logged on to the KDWPT

Web site, a hunter must sub-mit the photos and enter theKDWPT number from theirpermit, time and date of thekill and the county where thedeer was taken. A confirma-tion number will be issued byemail when the photos anddata are successfully re-ceived. This confirmationnumber must be retainedduring transportation.

Once these steps are com-pleted, the deer head may beremoved and the carcass pre-pared for transportation. Thesystem allows KDWPT staff tosee the deer and the hunter’scompleted tag without thetime and expense of main-taining a check station. Thisflexibility is a benefit to boththe hunter and KDWPT.

This option was developedto address two important is-sues regarding deer carcasstransportation. The first con-cern is about the movementof any material from a deerthat may contribute to the

transmission of chronic wast-ing disease (CWD). It is be-lieved that spread of CWDcould be diminished if certainbody parts affected by thedisease are not moved fromthe site where the deer istaken. Because CWD affectsthe brain and central nervoussystem, the transportation ofa deer head and skeletonfrom one location to anotheris considered a likely meansfor the disease to spread. Thenew registration system al-lows a hunter to leave theseitems at the kill site, minimiz-ing the possibility of spread-ing CWD.

The second concern is di-rectly related to the first.Many states have adoptedstrict regulations to preventthe spread of CWD. Typically,these regulations do not allowthe transportation of a deerhead with brain tissue from astate with confirmed CWDcases. Hunters have beencited in other states and their

deer confiscated for not com-plying with the transporta-tion laws of that state. Thenew registration system al-lows a hunter to properly dis-pose of the head and legallytransport the boned meat, aswell as the cleaned skull capand antlers, to the hunter’shome.

More information on CWDand transportation laws maybe found on the KDWPT Website, www.ksoutdoors.comunder “Hunting/ BigGame/Chronic Wasting Dis-ease.”

National Anthem sang andBenediction was offered byRandy Nash. During all theeating and paying respects,people were filing past theamazing array of donatedmerchandise lining the wallsof the building. Tickets werebeing purchased to place incontainers to try for a largelist of items and a silent auc-tion was also taking place forother items. Tickets werebeing purchased for the50/50 pot also. To finish upthe event filled evening, thefamous PHC auction broughteveryone to quiet attention.

One of the favorite items inthe long list of auction itemswas the fourth item on thelist. It was the “Wild Card”which would garner the highbidder a choice of any of theother items on the list of 27.The Wild Card went over

$5000.00! The purchaserchose the beautiful hand-made wolf quilt donated byGarland and Barbara Beek.Some more popular itemsbringing in some precious

funds for PHC were the TimMcGraw autographed guitardonated by Kim and KarolynSchroeder; a pencil drawingof Dale Earnhart Sr. andJunior donated by CaseyKnox; a Pat Garrett BuckKnife donated by DavidThompson and Tonya Pate; ahandmade two-seat yardbench donated by VicWatkins; Retha Wagner’spheasant painting; a quilt do-nated by Debbie Stoddard; acute cute little playhouse;and of course the two largeritem guns the Benelli Maxand the Colt brought in over$5,000 together.

All in all the evening gar-nered the area citizens ofsouthwest Kansas and sur-rounding areas some muchneeded funds for scholar-ships and other charitableneeds that may arise forsome of their neighbors,friends or family members.

In 2004 all this came aboutwhen a few guys wanted tohelp out some friends in needand Pheasant Heaven Chari-ties was born. The group con-sists of over a hundredpartners and many moredonors. It has grown by leapsand bounds in its eight years.It has a volunteer board of di-rectors who make some deci-sions, but there are alsoappointed committees mak-ing the decisions about whowill receive funds and theamount. Many many people

have been helped andtouched by this fabulousgroup.

Since their main fund rais-ing event annually takesplace the night before open-ing day of pheasant season,pheasant hunters also comeout the winners with a won-derful place to congregate,eat and help out someone inneed at the same time.

What fortunate communi-ties southwest Kansas andthe surrounding areas are tohave such a wonderful,widely known, charity groupof such caring individuals.Sincere appreciation goes outto Pheasant Heaven Chari-ties, and also to all the caringgenerous people who helpmake it such a big success.

A large crowd of diners are enjoying the Pheasant Heaven Charities great food. Theywere served calf fries, pulled pork, beef,

barbecued ribs, potato salad, barbecue beans,cole slaw and beverages.

Economic Development Board meets to discuss community issues

By John SchlageckHow did the turkey reserve

its place on our traditionalThanksgiving table?

That bird is what the pil-grims feasted upon accordingto fact and fable.

You’ve all heard how ourancestors hunted this bird.But here is the real story – theturkey scoop.

Seems our forefathers re-membered to take their mus-kets that day, but forgot totake their ammunition. As themen marched toward thewoods, they took one addi-tion, an Indian scout.

You guessed it. To take thescout along was tradition. Be-sides, the pilgrims neededsomeone who knew where theturkeys were.

As the story played out, thegreat white hunters spottedan elk. It was a fine animal fora Thanksgiving feast. Itsported a trophy rack nodoubt.

Several hunters took aim,pulled back their triggers andclicked. They soon discoveredtheir muskets had no shot.

This realization made themsick to their stomachs.

What could they do?What would they have for

their Thanksgiving feast?

On what would they supthat night?

One wise - or unwise - ladsuggested stewing theirshoes.

“I’ll gobble them up,” hesaid.

Well, the rest of the hunt-ing party was in no mood forjokes. One of the huntersthrew the lad’s musket intothe field just as an old Tomturkey – who had heard thegobble – popped up his head.

The critter’s fate wassealed. What senses he hadwere knocked out that day.The turkey was plucked,stuffed and roasted.

In exchange for his silence,the scout was invited to eatwhile the hunters boastedand embellished the storyabout the day’s hunt.

They truthfully said, “Wedidn’t fire a shot.”

Those early-day huntershad no need for ammunition.That’s why today turkeys areraised on farms – to shootthem would break with tradi-tion.

On a more historical note,Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiv-ing Day, is a traditional NorthAmerican holiday, which is aform of harvest festival. Al-though this feast is consid-

ered by many to be the veryfirst Thanksgiving celebra-tion, it was actually in keep-ing with a long tradition ofcelebrating the harvest andgiving thanks for a successfulbounty of crops.

The date and location ofthe first Thanksgiving cele-bration is a topic of discus-sion, though the earliestattested Thanksgiving cele-bration was September 8,1565, in what is now SaintAugustine, Fl. Despite re-search to the contrary, thetraditional "first Thanksgiv-ing" is venerated as havingoccurred at the site of Ply-mouth Plantation, in 1621.

What foods topped thetable at the first harvestfeast?

Historians aren't com-pletely certain about the fullbounty, but it's safe to say thepilgrims weren't gobbling uppumpkin pie or playing withtheir mashed potatoes. It’s arelatively safe bet the only twoitems on the menu for surewere venison and wild fowl.

Today, Thanksgiving is cel-ebrated on the fourth Thurs-day of November in theUnited States. Thanksgivingis usually a gathering offriends and/or family. At this

time you say all your thanksand wishes.

In our country, certainkinds of food are traditionallyserved at Thanksgivingmeals. First and foremost,baked or roasted turkey isusually the featured item onany Thanksgiving feast table(so much so that Thanksgiv-ing is sometimes referred toas "Turkey Day"). Stuffing,mashed potatoes with gravy,sweet potatoes, cranberrysauce, other fall vegetables,and pumpkin pie are com-monly associated withThanksgiving dinner.

All of these dishes are ac-tually native to the Americasor were introduced as a newfood source to the Europeanswhen they arrived.

Have a Happy Thanksgiv-ing and don’t forget to countyour blessings.

Water-Holding Capacitiesof Different Soil Types in

Kansas(Editor’s Note: This article isan excerpt, slightly modified,from the new K-State publi-cation Efficient Crop WaterUse in Kansas, NF-3066,available at: http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/library/crpsl2/mf3066.pdf -- Steve Watson)

The capacity of differentsoils to store water varies pri-marily based on soil textureand soil organic matter. Soiltexture is difficult to alter,but loss of the surface hori-zon to erosion has had a sig-nificant effect on manyagricultural soils in Kansassince surface and subsurfacesoils often have different tex-tures.

Field capacity refers to theamount of water that isstored in the soil after the ex-cess (gravitational) water hasdrained away. As shown in

the table below, some wateris still present in the soil atthe permanent wilting point,but plants are not able to ex-tract this water. The availablewater is the water betweenthe field capacity and the per-manent wilting point.

For example, for the deep,silt loam soils in westernKansas, a soil at field capac-ity will contain an average of

1.8 inches of water per verti-cal foot of soil or approxi-mately 10.8 inches ofavailable soil water in theupper six feet of the soil pro-file. A range of values is givenfor each soil texture class,and one reason for this re-lates to the amount of organicmatter in the soil. In otherwords, it would be expectedthat a silt loam soil with one

percent organic matter wouldhold less water at field capac-ity than the same soil texturewith two percent or eventhree percent organic matter,because organic matter has atremendous amount of waterholding capacity.-- DeAnn Presley, Soil Man-agement Specialist

Why it’s called Turkey Day

Jan Leonard is finishing up the Christmas decorations with thelights on the trees down Main Street.

Following basic safe boat-ing rules is necessary when-ever you’re on the water, butit takes on a new level of im-portance when the water iscold. As a rule of thumb, ifthe sum of the air and watertemperatures added togetherequals less than 100 degreesand you fall into the water,you could be looking at a hy-pothermic situation.

Hypothermia occurs whenyour body loses heat fasterthan it can produce it, andcold water robs the body ofheat 25 times faster than coldair. When your core bodytemperature drops below nor-mal (98.6 degrees F), you be-come hypothermic. Yourpreparation and how youhandle yourself following afall into cold water will deter-mine your odds of survival.

Remember the “1-10-1”rule. If you fall overboard,you usually have one minuteto get your breathing undercontrol. An involuntary gaspoccurs when your body en-counters the cold water, andthis can cause you to breathein a large amount of water,which can lead to drowning.After the initial shock, youwill experience about oneminute of deep and uncon-trolled breathing. Calmingyourself will be easier ifyou're wearing a life jacketbecause it will keep yourhead above the water line andhelp you avoid breathing inmouthfuls of water.

Over the next ten minutes,your blood flow will start to

move away from your handsand feet in order to keep yourbody’s core warm. The bodyinstinctively attempts to keepvital organs warm and func-tioning. This affects nervesand muscles farther awayfrom your core, limiting theirability to function. It is dur-ing this crucial time that anyattempt at self rescue shouldbe made. Get out of thewater. Even if your boat iscapsized and upside down,crawling onto the part of theboat that is still above waterwill increase your odds ofsurvival. If you are not wear-ing a life jacket and can’t getout of the water, you willeventually lose the ability totread water or swim due tothe lack of response fromyour arms and legs.

Keeping your core pro-tected can help keep you con-scious longer, and using theHeat Escape Lessening Posi-tion (HELP) will keep yourcore warmer longer. Wearinga life jacket makes the HELPposition easier; you just pullyour legs up to your chestand hug your knees. Thiskeeps your body compact andsurrounds your chest withprotection. If you are in thewater with other people, youcan huddle together andshare warmth. Most peoplewill lose consciousness in onehour, but if you are wearing alife jacket, your face will beabove the water and you willstill be able to breathe even ifyou start to fade.

Always dress for the

weather by wearing layersthat can be removed if theweather warms, and avoidcotton clothing. Cotton willkeep the water trapped byyour body instead of wickingit away, and it takes a longtime to dry. But if you do endup soaking wet, never removeyour clothing and shoes un-less you have a dry set tochange into. Even though theclothes are cold and wet, theyprovide insulation to yourbody and will actually keepyou warmer. By understand-ing how hypothermia affectsyour body and the 1-10-1rule - one minute to controlyour breathing, ten minutesto rescue yourself and onehour before you lose con-sciousness - you can increaseyour chance for survival ifyou run into problems whileboating in cold water. Ofcourse, wearing a life jacketis always the smart choicewhile boating during any timeof the year.

Boating during the winter requires added precautions

Editor’s Note: In lastweek’s Hermes, we incorrectlyidentified the American Legionas the organization handingout poppies. The American Le-gion Auxiliary gives out pop-

pies in May for Memorial Day,while the VFW gives out pop-pies in November for Veterans’Day. We apologize for the con-fusion and thank these groupsfor their service!

“Notes From Nancy”by Stevens County FACS Agent Nancy Honig

Is it forgetfulness or something more?

The holiday season is often atime to see family and friends wedon’t see every day. Sometimeswe notice changes in behaviorand memory in our loved ones,but do we look deeper to under-stand what might be going on.November is National Alz -heimer’s Awareness Month, andthe holidays may be a perfecttime to learn more about thedisease and whether you have aloved one who might be at risk. Humans begin to lose braincells a few at a time in theirtwenties. The body also slowsproduction of the chemicals thatbrain cells need. With age, thesechanges have an increasinglygreater effect on memory. Agingmay change the way the brainstores information, making itharder to recall stored informa-tion. Typical changes associatedwith aging include:• Slower mental processing. Itmay take a little longer to learnnew things.• Slower recall of information.Names, faces and facts may notcome to mind as quickly.• Reduced ability to focus onmultiple tasks.

Memory Loss: What’s Normal? What’s Not? A memory problem is seriouswhen it affects daily living. Oc-casionally forgetting names isnot unusual, but a more seriousproblem may exist when some-one has trouble rememberingcommonly done skills, getting toa familiar place, or followingsteps, such as preparing arecipe. Normal memory prob-lems are often temporary, due tostress or other factors. Individ-uals might have a memoryproblem that is annoying, but ismanageable and does not be-

come more severe with time. Memory problems due to de-mentia, including Alzheimer’sdisease, are permanent, andthey progress in severity.Alzheimer’s disease is not a nor-mal part of aging, but a neuro-logical disease that causes areasof the brain to shrink and de-cline in function. Individualswith Alzheimer’s disease experi-ence progressively greater diffi-culty managing activities of dailyliving. Only ten percent of peopleaged 65-85 have Alzheimer´sdisease, but it affects nearly 50percent of those over 85.

Seven Warning Signs ofAlzheimer´s Disease

1. Asking the same question re-peatedly.2. Repeating the same storyover and over.3. Forgetting activities that werepreviously done easily and reg-ularly, such as cooking, makingrepairs or playing cards.4. Losing ability to managemoney, pay bills or balance acheckbook.5. Getting lost in familiar sur-roundings or misplacing often-used objects.6. Neglecting to bathe or wear-ing the same clothes over andover, while insisting a bath wastaken or clothes are clean.7. Relying on someone else,such as a spouse, to make deci-sions or answer questions theindividual previously wouldhave handled without help. Although the preceding listincludes early warning signs ofAlzheimer’s disease, someonemay have several or even mostof these symptoms and not havethe disease. That individualshould be thoroughly examinedby a medical specialist trainedin evaluation of memory disor-ders. Other signs that could indi-

cate Alzheimer´s disease, ormight be due to other causes,include: memory loss that per-sistently affects work skills; dif-ficulty completing familiar tasks;disorientation to time and place;poor or decreased judgmentabout simple tasks, such asdressing; problems with ab-stract thinking; misplacingitems; extreme, inexplicablechanges in mood or behavior;changes in personality; or loss ofinitiative. Memory Loss: When to Seek

Further EvaluationProbably age-related forgetful-ness ...• When driving to an appoint-ment, you forget the street ad-dress, but can find the buildinganyway.• You leave the faucet or stoveon, but remember just as youare on your way out the door.• You ask someone the samequestion you asked yesterday.• You forget the name of some-one you met the night before, or‘blank out’ for a moment on afriend’s name.• You complain and joke withother people about your forget-fulness.Talk to your doctor ...• While driving to a familiar lo-cation, you become disorientedand have trouble figuring outwhere to go.• You leave the faucet or stoveon and leave the house - and it´snot the first time it has hap-pened.• You repeat a question severaltimes on the same day anddon´t realize it.• It sometimes takes a lot of ef-fort to remember the name of aclose friend or relative.• Other people express con-cern about your memory lapsesand suggest that you see a doc-tor about it.

The Moscow store will closeearly Wednesday and be closedThursday but will have regularhours Friday.

Tithes have become synony-mous with religious giving, buttithing was not always con-nected to religion.

"Tithe" comes from the OldEnglish word "teogoa," whichmeans "tenth." It evolved to referto a percentage of an individual'sincome that is paid in dues, pri-marily to a church. A tithe alsoreferred to a group of ten house-holds that lived close to one an-other and acted as sureties tothe king.

Some suggest the religioustithe concept was established inancient Hebrew and Old Testa-ment teachings. While there maybe mentions of tithing in reli-gious documents, most scholarsconfirm that New Testamentscriptures are most responsiblefor the concept of religioustithing. The Christian Churchdidn't officially adopt tithing untilthe year 787 under Pope AdrianI. Tithing actually can be tracedback even further than the be-

ginnings of Christianity and Ju-daica, however. There are refer-ences to tithes as early asancient Mesopotamian timesand other eras of the AncientNear East.

A tithe may be an amountvoluntarily held aside for chari-table giving. It also may be a taxor levy placed on a person's in-come. To keep with the ancientconcept of tithing, many peopletithe ten percent of their income.

Thousands of people linethe streets of midtown Man-hattan every year to catch aglimpse of the balloons andperformers marching in theMacy's Thanksgiving Day Pa-rade. Millions more will tunein to watch it on television.The Macy's parade is inter-twined with Thanksgiving,making it as much a part ofthe holiday as turkey andpumpkin pie.

The parade has evolvedthroughout the years, and thehistory of the parade is bothinteresting and informational.

Historians believe the pa-rade was instituted by Euro-pean immigrants who madeup the majority of employeesat the retail giant Macy's. Inthe 1920s, employees whowere now proud Americanswanted to celebrate with tra-ditions that were similar totraditions in Europe. This in-cluded a parade down thestreets. Animals were bor-rowed from the Central ParkZoo, bands played andmarchers wore different cos-tumes.

In 1927, concern for chil-dren lining the parade routeled parade officials to replacelive animals with the signa-

ture helium balloons peoplenow know and love. A dragonand Felix the Cat were someof the first balloons. The fes-tivities continued to grow dur-ing the 1930s, when Santawas added to the parade'sgrowing list of participants.1933 was the only year thatSanta led the parade ratherthan closed it.

During World War II, theparade was put on hiatus, as

the rubber for the balloonsand the helium was donatedto the war effort. The paraderesumed in 1945 and was tel-evised only in New York. The1947 film "Miracle on 34thStreet" made the parade evenmore popular. NBC televisedthe parade nationwide the fol-lowing year, drawing viewersfrom all over the country.

Carl Mac Thurow had a very eventful fewdays last weekend. After the football game atManhattan, he stood over by somehandshakers and met GeneralEisenhower. The general, a verygracious man, had a big grin for the

small boy and asked him if he were going toplay football for Kansas State someday.

Then Monday evening Carl Mac wentwith his parents to a P.T.A. forumconducted by Cecille B. Denville [sic]

Don’t give yourturkey a bath!

When it comes to yourThanksgiving turkey, a KansasState University food safety ex-pert has two tips that could helpkeep your holiday meal safer:* Don't give your turkey a bath.* Always take your turkey's tem-perature.

Washing the turkey beforepopping it in the oven may besomething you saw your mom -- or grandmother -- do, but DougPowell, professor of food safety,said it's a practice where momreally didn't know best.

"Washing the bird has longbeen disregarded because of thefood safety risk of cross-contam-ination," he said. "Do not washthat bird -- you’ll spread bacteriaeverywhere."

Studies have found food poi-soning bacteria like campylobac-ter or salmonella are common onpoultry carcasses and can easilybe spread by the splashes fromwashing the bird, Powell said.That means the sink, counter-tops, water taps and anythingelse in the vicinity -- includingother food -- can become cross-contaminated. Washing handsafter handling and preparing thebird also is a must.

Once the unwashed bird is inthe oven, Powell said cooksshould do themselves a favorand rely on a good thermometerto let them know when the mainattraction is ready. Turkeyshould be cooked to an internaltemperature of 165 degrees. Justchecking to see if the juices fromthe bird run clear when the birdis pricked isn't an accurate indi-cator of its doneness.

"Color is a lousy indicator ofsafety," Powell said. "No matterhow you cook your bird, the keyis to use a tip-sensitive digitalthermometer to verify safety."

To help keep foodborne ill-ness from spoiling the Thanks-giving holiday, check out foodsafety infosheets, prepared byPowell and Benjamin Chapman,a food safety specialist and assis-tant professor of family and con-sumer sciences at NorthCarolina State University, avail-able at Powell's blog:* For tips on why not to bathethe bird, http://barfblog.com/infosheet/bathing-birds-is-a-food-safety-mess/.* For tips on preventing holidayfoodborne illness, http://barfblog.com/infosheet/avoid-foodborne-illness-during-the-holidays.* For tips on holiday meal safety,http://barfblog.com/infosheet/holiday-meal-food-safety-2/.

A holiday food safety videoalso is available at Powell's blog,http://barfblog.com, as well asSpanish and French transla-tions of the infosheets.

Oh! Triplets! Bound to attract a lot of noticein their lifetime, the Ellis triplets here ignore itall. One of the boys (the mother didn’t knowwhich) takes a hearty drink of milk while hisbrother has a snooze and sister watches thefunny people. The Tucker Hospital staff of

Elkhart are rightfully proud of their firsttriplets, as are mother and father, Mr. and Mrs.Earl Ellis, who are thought to be the firstStevens County parents with triplets. From theNovember 27, 1952, issue of The Hugoton Her-mes.

Additional content and fea-tures will be coming soon, withmore information comingwhen they are available.

It’s also important to re-member safe winter drivingskills such as reducing speedfor conditions and allowingextra time to travel. Turn offcruise control. Increase thedistance between your vehicleand the vehicle ahead of you.Accelerate and brake gently toreduce the chance of losingcontrol of your vehicle. Don’tfollow snow removal equip-ment too closely.

For everyone’s safety, driv-ers should buckle up, notdrink and drive, safely securechildren in safety seats andavoid distractions such as talk-ing or texting on their cellphone.

As the holiday cookingseason approaches, Safe KidsKansas reminds parents andcaregivers to check thekitchen for preventable haz-ards and to supervise chil-dren at all times in thekitchen.

“It’s important to keepcabinets closed and locked,and to store hazardous sub-stances out of reach, butthat’s not enough,” saysCherie Sage, State Directorfor Safe Kids Kansas. “Themost important safety pre-caution in the kitchen is con-stant, close, attentivesupervision.”

Whether a child is helpingan adult cook or simplywatching, he or she shouldalways be actively super-vised, which means that thechild is in sight and in reach

at all times.“Burns from spills, steam,

hot surfaces and flame canbe especially devastating in-juries,” says Sage. “Becauseyoung children have thinnerskin than adults, they burnmore severely and at lowertemperatures.”

Scald burns from hot liq-uid or steam are the mostcommon type of burnsamong children ages four andunder. A child will suffer afull-thickness burn (third-de-gree burn) after just threeseconds of exposure to 140-degree water.

Safe Kids Kansas recom-mends these precautionsagainst kitchen burns:• Never leave a hot stove un-attended. (Unattended foodon the stove is the numberone cause of home fires.)

• Never hold a child whilecooking or carrying hotitems.• Cook on back burnerswhenever possible, and turnall handles toward the backof the stove.• Don’t allow loose-fittingclothing in the kitchen.• Keep hot foods and liquidsaway from the edges of coun-ters and tables. Be especiallycareful around tablecloths,children can pull hot dishesdown onto themselves.• Tie up the electrical cordsof small appliances. A toddlerplaying with a dangling cordcan pull a toaster or mi-crowave down from a coun-tertop.

In addition to hot surfaces,hot liquids and sharp objects,the other major hazard in thekitchen is poison. Store po-tentially hazardous goods,such as cleaning productsand alcohol (including manybaking extracts), in lockedcabinets out of reach. Also,

install a carbon monoxide de-tector to alert everyone to getout of the house in the eventof a buildup of the odorlesstoxic gas given off by fuel-burning appliances.

Children who can followdirections may be ready tohelp out in the kitchen withtasks that do not involveknives, appliances or heat.

“You know your own chil-dren. Don’t give them knivesor let them handle anythinghot until they have shown thematurity and coordination todo it safely,” says Sage.“Some children mature fasterthan others, so it’s up to par-ents to use good judgmentabout each child’s capabili-ties.”
