RCHC to open wound care center By Rosalie Ross Rawlins County Health Center is going to add a new outpatient wound care center this month as an area service. It will be in partner- ship with Wound Care Specialists, a national wound care company that provides comprehensive wound services for hospi- tals and long term care fa- cilities. They provide advanced wound healing and limb preservation for more than 90 wound cen- ters nationwide. “We are really excited to provide this much needed vital service to Northwest Kansas and Southwest Ne- braska,” Sharon Cox, CEO at RCHC said. “Patients can be referred by their health care provider or by calling Wound Care Specialists di- rectly for an assessment.” Three medical profes- sionals from RCHC have received specialized training from Wound Care Specialists. Kyle Herspring, PA-C, traveled out of state to re- ceive his specialized hands-on training with the Co-Chief of Wound Care Specialists. “With my extensive expe- rience in vascular surgery in my previous employment and the training I received with Wound Care Special- ists, I have a different un- derstanding and knowledge of the wound healing process,” Herspring said. “I am prepared to provide quality patient-centered wound care to patients. “A colleague of mine has worked with Wound Care Specialists and has nothing but great things to say about the program and the tremendous results for his patients.” The Wound Care Center provides outpatient serv- ices to people with chronic or hard-to-heal wounds. The goal is to significantly increase patients’ wound healing rates, prevent lower extremity amputa- tions and improve patients’ quality of life. Chronic wounds include diabetic foot wounds, which can lead to amputa- tion, lower leg wounds re- lated to blood flow issues, leg ulcers, post surgical wounds and traumatic in- jury wounds. In Atwood, patients who have been evaluated and pre-registered by call- ing the Wound Care Cen- ter at 877-295-2273, will see a trained medical provider on Wednesdays as an outpatient. Costs for wound care are usually covered by in- surance as more and more companies agree to pay for preventative care. At any rate, patients will know the cost of their care before they begin wound treatment. “We know there are many in the community and surrounding area who have wounds that need at- tention,” Cox said. “ We are happy to be able to provide expertise and convenience to those who need care.”

sionals from RCHC havereceived specializedtraining from WoundCare Specialists.
Kyle Herspring, PA-C,traveled out of state to re-ceive his specializedhands-on training withthe Co-Chief of WoundCare Specialists.“With my extensive expe-

Q: Why is it important foreveryone to kill volunteerwheat?A: Like the saying, “one
bad apple can spoil the wholebasket,” such is the case withvolunteer wheat. Even if youcontrol your volunteer, dis-eases and insects from yourneighbors volunteer maystill attack your wheat.Volunteer wheat is a fact
of life in wheat productionand some people may noteven think of it as a problem.The truth is that volunteerwheat is the source of somesevere problems and may becostly if not controlled. Theprimary threat of volunteerwheat is wheat streak mosaicvirus. This causes stuntingand yellow streaking onleaves and is prevalent inwestern Kansas. On average,Kansans lose 10 millionbushels annually to this dis-
ease. Wheat streak mosaicvirus is carried by the wheatcurl mite which can travel upto a half mile. Other potential hazards
hosted by volunteer wheatinclude the Hessian Fly,Russian Wheat Aphid, Take-All fungal root rot, Leaf andSteam Rust, Barley YellowDwarf Virus and a numberof other insects. Volunteerand other weeds use up largeamounts of soil moisture aswell, making control vital. Producers may question
whether early flushes of vol-unteer, such as those thatemerge soon after harvest,need to be controlled. These
actually pose a more seriousthreat that later emergingvolunteer. It is critical thatall volunteer within a halfmile be completely dead atleast two weeks prior toplanting. Destroying volun-teer after the new wheatemerges is too late. Tillageand herbicides are oftencombined for an effectivecontrol program that leavesmuch of the stubble in place.Grazing out the volunteer isnot an effective option. For additional questions
on killing volunteer wheatplease contact the RawlinsCounty Extension Office at785-626-3192.

Two pounds of crunchEd Kocher, Blakeman, presents his two-pound Super Star onion dug from his garden last week. Kocher, who pur-chased the onion set from Walker’s Garden Center, said that it is the largest onion he has ever produced. Alsoshown is a large one-pound Spanish yellow onion grown in his garden. Kocher produces more vegetables thanhe can consume, so watch for his vegetable stand set up around Atwood at various times.
Did you forgetto say thanks?
Even little kids learn that it is polite to say thank you, butsometimes we adults take things and people for granted.When the fall calendar turns over, we realize there are
many organizations that simply couldn’t function withoutvolunteers. How often do we breathe a sigh of relief whensomeone takes the leader’s job so we can have scouts oryouth groups for another year? How many times do you sup-pose they get a note, an e-mail, or word of appreciation?Sports fans have come to expect an extra page of cover-
age in The Square Deal during the season and merchantsare willing to pay for it as advertising. The page also allowsspace for some coverage of Cheylin sports. Other businessessponsor the football programs, Buffalo Booster projects,banners and Homecoming events. They also pay for manyother extras that keep the Buffs and Cougars fired up.A businessman and long-time supporter of Rawlins
County schools said, “If even one parent or student stuckhis head in the door or stopped me on the street and saidthanks, I would feel well repaid.”Being able to point to our towns and schools with pride
is important. It gives us a sense of belonging and loyaltywhen we share responsibilities. That is true of families,churches, clubs and whole communities. It feels good to say“Yes, we can” and then accomplish the task.People looking for a place to volunteer can find clubs, or-
ganizations and projects ready to welcome them with openarms. There will probably never be too many willing handsfor all the jobs needing to be done.So if you don’t have time to be an AWANA leader, a
booster club volunteer, a driver, a sponsor, server or dish-washer, at least take time to thank the lady or fellow who isdoing the job or helping pay to have it done.

Livestock producers urged to enrollin disaster assistance program
The U.S. Department ofAgriculture is encouragingproducers who have sufferedeligible disaster-related lossesto act to secure assistance bySept. 30, as congressionallymandated payment reduc-tions will take place for pro-ducers who have not actedbefore that date.Livestock producers that
have experienced grazinglosses since October 2011 andmay be eligible for benefitsbut have not yet contactedtheir local Farm ServiceAgency office should do so assoon as possible.The Budget Control Act
passed by Congress in 2011requires USDA to implementreductions of 7.3 percent tothe Livestock Forage DisasterProgram in the new fiscalyear, which begins Oct. 1.However, producers seekingLFP support who have sched-uled appointments with theirlocal FSA office before Oct. 1,even if the appointment oc-curs after Oct.1, will not seereductions in the amount ofdisaster relief they receive.USDA is encouraging pro-
ducers to register, request anappointment or begin a Live-stock Forage Disaster Pro-gram application with theircounty FSA office before Oct.1, to lock in the current zeropercent sequestration rate.As an additional aid to
qualified producers applyingfor LFP, the Farm Service'sAgency has developed an on-line registration that enablesfarmers and ranchers to puttheir names on an electroniclist before the deadline toavoid reductions in their dis-aster assistance. This is an al-ternative to visiting orcontacting the county office.To place a name on the
Livestock Forage DisasterProgram list online, visithttp://www.fsa.usda.gov/dis-aster-register. Producers whoalready contacted the countyoffice and have an appoint-ment scheduled need donothing more."In just four months since
disaster assistance enroll-ments began, we've processed240,000 applications to helpfarmers and ranchers whosuffered losses," Agriculture
Secretary Tom Vilsack said."Eligible producers who havenot yet contacted their localFSA office should stop by orcall their local FSA office, orsign up online before Oct. 1when congressionally man-dated payment reductionstake effect. This will ensurethey receive as much finan-cial assistance as possible."The Livestock Indemnity
Program, the Tree AssistanceProgram and the NoninsuredDisaster Assistance ProgramFrost Freeze payments willalso be cut by 7.3 percent onOct. 1. Unlike the LivestockForage Disaster Program, ap-plications for these programsmust be fully completed bySept. 30. FSA offices will pri-oritize these applications, butas the full application processcan take several days or moreto complete, producers areencouraged to begin the ap-plication process as soon aspossible.The Livestock Forage Dis-
aster Program compensateseligible livestock producerswho suffered grazing lossesdue to drought or fire be-
tween Oct. 1, 2011 and Dec. 31,2014. Eligible livestock in-cludes alpacas, beef cattle,buffalo, beefalo, dairy cattle,deer, elk, emus, equine, goats,llamas, poultry, reindeer,sheep or swine that have beenor would have been grazingthe eligible grazing land orpastureland. Producersforced to liquidate their live-stock may also be eligible forprogram benefits.Additionally, the 2014
Farm Bill eliminated the riskmanagement purchase re-quirement. Livestock produc-ers are no longer required topurchase coverage under thefederal crop insurance pro-gram or Noninsured CropDisaster Assistance Programto be eligible for LivestockForage Disaster Program as-sistance.To learn more about USDA
disaster relief program, pro-ducers can review the 2014Farm Bill fact sheet atwww.fsa.usda.gov/farmbill,the LFP program fact sheet,http://go.usa. gov/5JTk, orcontact the Rawlins CountyFSA office.

Hurray for 80/80
Has parity made an ap-pearane in the NFL? Afterlast week’s games you canassume that is the case.Witness Kanss City losing
to Tennessee, Buffalo overChicago in overtime, Atlantaover New Orleans in OT,Pittsburgh edging Clevelandby three, Jets over Oakland,Miami over New England,and so on.The NFL has wanted par-
ity for years and unless lastweek’s action was a fluke,they may have eahed it.Even the Broncos had to
hang on to a big ead only tosee it shrink to the Colts.From watching that game inperson, one would wonderwhere Denver’s new and im-proved defense is.Unless things change, those
sugar plum hopes of goingback-to-back and winning theSuper Bowl will vanish.I suppose one could blame
it all on the fact that it wasonly week one and teams hadtheir game time butterflies,but those should have goneaway with their first hits.We all hope for whatever
the problem was, it fadesaway this week.When we look at the major
league baseball stndings, wesee that the Royals are in adog fight for the AL Centralpenant and they are hangingin there in first place. It’s aclose race, however. Fans arestill holding on to their hopesof seeing the Royals back inthe playoffs.We still have about 20
games in the regular seasonleft, and unless the team has ameltdown, they should makethe playoffs. We shall see.On to the Dagos picks

Buffs give Wildcats winBy Pat Carroll
Rawlins County High Schoolopened the football season with Wal-lace County last Friday.
The Wildcats placed second in 8-man/division 2 at state last year.
The Buffaloes lost last Friday’scontest 12-24. Rawlins Countyplayed tough and decided late in thecontest to give the Wildcats a gift.
Trailing 12-16, the Buffs were ona good drive when disaster hit. Afumble deep in Wildcat land was re-covered by the Wallace County teamand raced 41 yards to put the gameaway 12-24.
The Buffs had a lot of troubleearly, as they couldn’t move the ballagainst a tough Wildcat defense.
The Buffs were just as tough ondefense, stopping WCHS early, butanother mistake gave the first pointsto the Wildcats.
RCHS had a bad snap in punt for-mation. The Wildcats got the ball atthat point and scored as theypunched it in and added the twopoints after to make it 0-8, as thefirst quarter came to an end.
RCHS came to life on offense withMacrae Migchelbrink, Rhett Mizer,Cole Sramek and Robbie Brownleading the charge.
Sramek scored from 23 yards out,but RCHS couldn’t score the twoextra points. So it was 6-8 at half-time.
WCHS went to the air in theirnext possession. They scored toclose a good drive with a pass of sixyards to paydirt. Their try for twowas good, making it 6-16. That scorestood until the ill-fated fumble re-covery.
That drive was a dandy thatstarted when Rhett Mizer recovereda WCHS fumble. The Buffs were onthe move when a hard Wildcat hitjarred the ball into WCHS posses-sion and they turned it into the finalpoints of the night.
RCHS was poised at that point toget a win of their own before thathappened. The Buffs had just addedanother score as Sramek went in forthe second time. The try for extrapoints was again no good and thescore was 12-16. Then bad luck hit.
The real sad part of it was thatthe Buffs were moving pretty wellfor the most part.
Sramek was leading the rushingand scored twice. Migchelbrinkpassed for 5 of 8 and 42 yards. Mizerwas top receiver with two catches.
The Buffs look to a better show-ing as they host Dighton this week.

Obituary
By Pastor Connie D. Wooldridge Atwood United Methodist Church
I looked out my kitchen window yesterdayand saw a perfect bright yellow leaf on thegrass. It was amazing, comforting and a littlesad all at once. I love summer and it neverseems to last long enough and yet, seeing thatleaf strengthens my faith in God, who createdand set in order this amazing world. God set inmotion the seasons and they come and go with-out fail every year. How faithful is God?
The first chapter of Romans tells us thatGod made Himself evident in creation so that we can all seeand believe. I find it amazing that even when our world faceshorrendous disasters, natural or manmade, the seasons continueto shift without fail. God is faithful.
We can believe a God who is so faithful in this wonderfulturn of the seasons. God’s promises are sure. God says, “Cometo me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will giveyou rest.” Matt. 11:28 NIV.
God promises, “Seek me and you will find me,” Jeremiah13 and Deuteronomy 4.
God assures us that the life God wants to give us is abundantand everlasting. This is a promise that is for all who will re-ceive; for everyone who seeks; for me and for you.

God’s GardenGod looked around His garden
and found an empty place.He then looked down upon the earth
and saw your tired face.He put His arms around you
and lifted you to rest.God’s garden must be beautiful;
He always takes the best.He saw the road was getting rough,
and the hills were hard to climb,so He closed your weary eyelids
and whispered, “Peace be thine.”It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you didn’t go alone,for part of us went with you
the day God called you home.— Love and miss you
