The notices certainlylook legitimate, originatingfrom genuine-soundingthird party companies like

Publisher’s Billing Ex-change, Reader’s PaymentService, Associated Pub-lisher’s Network, or anynumber of other “official”business names. Unfortu-nately, the amount read-ers are requested to payfor renewal doesn’t equatewith the actual price of re-newing a subscription.Subscribers are requestedto send a check to the “re-newal service”, not thenewspaper itself, or to pay

Winnifred Irene NixDear Editor,

We discovered yesterdaythat businesses in our com-munity had been asked tosponsor a distribution ofbooks to local children, andthat the library was the dis-tribution center. Upon fur-ther investigation, we foundthat our name had beenadded to the program with-out our knowledge or con-sent. This issue has beenresolved, with those that

helped fund the distributionwill be reimbursed. We apol-ogize for the confusion andinconvenience this may havecaused. Please be sure thatwhen the library requestsfunding for projects or pro-

grams, we will make contactthrough library channels,not send a sales person.And, of course, you are al-ways welcome to contact uswith your questions or con-cerns.

Dear Editor,I have had an inquiry

about property covenantswithin Stevens County andin particular aroundMoscow, Kansas and theBrollier addition. Covenantsand covenant restrictionsare an imposed set of prop-erty “purchase agreements”between the seller of theproperty and the buyer. Theproperty is normally a set“Block of Land” within a cityor county area the seller andelected officials deem sensi-tive to the community andthe people living within thatarea. It is a signed and bind-ing agreement that; thebuyer of the property willabide by and continue, inagreement, to a set of rulesthe seller has imposed uponthe property.

Most covenant rules per-tain to land use and buildingrestrictions attached to theseller’s contract. Basicallythese rules or restrictionsare maintained by the buy-

ers of the property and gen-erally the County or City hasno legal jurisdiction in en-forcing covenant restric-tions. There may be timeswhen Zoning Regulationsand or City Ordinances over-lap. In these cases, zoningordinance enforcements canbe imposed through localzoning or building officials.

If a complaint is noted orif a buyer does not complywith the land use or buildingrestrictions, the owner of anadjacent property must con-tact an official with the cityor county and determine thezoning regulations withinthat location. If it is foundthat no zoning violation iscommitted, then the only re-course for covenant violationor complaints is through pri-vate legal means and thecourt systems. Generally,

this must be initiated by theproperty owners within thatcovenant regulated block ofproperty.

As a county zoning offi-cial, please be aware andcomply with your property’sProtective Covenants andRestrictions. I would adviseyou to read your contractand know what they are.They help protect the envi-ronment and sanitary condi-tions of your property andyour neighbor’s property.Covenants insure the properdevelopment of property,protect against improperlivestock use, preserve sitesand guard against unsightlyjunk and structures.

Remember, if you are aproperty owner and rent theproperty, your renters mustalso comply. If you signed abinding contract and agreedwith covenant restrictions,please abide by them.

Dear Editor,In the last few months, there

has been a lot of political rhetoric about Medicare andObamaCare. I think it is timefor some facts.

According to the nonparti-san Congressional Budget Of-fice, ObamaCare cuts $716billion in payments forMedicare. According to theAmerican Hospital Association,hospitals are already under-paid for Medicare patients--atthe rate of 86 cents on the dol-lar compared to the actual costof care. And those paymentswill shrink under ObamaCare.

So cuts to Medicareproviders do two things. First,

the cuts limit the health careservices our seniors will ulti-mately receive. This is particu-larly true as fewer primary carephysicians are willing to takenew Medicare patients becauseof the shrinking reimburse-ment rates. Second, the cutsput a greater financial hard-ship on the rural hospitals thatour seniors and entire commu-nities count on.

These drastic Medicare cutswere not a Republican idea.They were proposed andpassed by President Obama,

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi inorder to subsidize health carepayments for younger, health-ier Americans. Yet, in spite ofthe subsidies created by theObamaCare Medicare cuts,health care premiums and de-ductibles continue to rise andmany Kansans are being forcedout of insurance plans theylike.

It is time to repeal ObamaCare so that our seniorsand hospitals no longer have toshoulder the burden for thisfailed policy.

Sen. Morris wants his views knownLetter to the Editor:

As a lifelong Republican,it pains me to watch whatSam Brownback is doing toour beloved state. During thepast three and a half years, Ihave witnessed the decline ofcivil discourse in Kansas,and Sam Brownback has ledthis unfortunate shift, bring-ing Washington DC-stylepolitics to the heartland. Heand his allies have put poli-tics before people over andover again, damaging ourschools, our economy andthe future of Kansas. It istime to say enough isenough.

It is clear that Gov.Brownback has very little re-gard for the truth. There arenumerous examples of hismisleading and manipulativestatements.

Sam Brownback contin-ues to tout that his adminis-tration turned an $876balance into a large surplus– all the while that has beendisproved by independentexperts and the news media.In fact, when Sam Brown-

back took office there was$238 million in the bank,but the ending balance forthis fiscal year is projected tobe about $20 million. Andindependent researchers saythat Kansas will be in debtover $1 billion in just a fewshort years.

Not only is Sam Brown-back running our state intobankruptcy, he is damagingour state’s ability to attractnew investments. In justover a year, two independentcredit agencies have down-graded Kansas’ credit ratingthree times. They cited theBrownback experiment, theprojected deficit, and“Kansas’ sluggish economicrecovery.” Even during theGreat Recession, Kansasmaintained its top credit rat-ing. It is clear the Governor’sfiscally irresponsible policiesare not working.

With his dismal record,Sam Brownback is now

working overtime to distractand mislead Kansans. He istrying to rewrite his ownrecord, while attempting tomake Kansans believe hisopponent, Paul Davis, issomeone he is not. I am sup-porting Paul Davis becauseI’ve worked with him and Iknow his character. He is amoderate, commonsenseKansan who will bring peo-ple together to solve thechallenges we face. He hasbeen endorsed by over 100Republican leaders – andmore are lending their sup-port each day.

We deserve a governorwho takes responsibility forhis policies and is honest tothe people of Kansas. That isnot Sam Brownback. He isfocused on his own politicalagenda, not the best inter-ests of Kansas families.

We need to get our stateback on the right track, andthat means electing a newgovernor. Join me in sup-porting Paul Davis for Gover-nor on November 4.PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Sen. Steve Morrisstates his view

Dear Editor,As election time nears, it ap-

pears there are two main issuesemerging in the Governor’srace, the Kansas economy andthe funding of schools. It is verydifficult to explain these com-plex issues either in a 30 secondad or in a short letter such asthis.

I have served as the Chair-man of the House taxation com-mittee for the past six years andI am retiring this year so gettingre-elected is not on my agenda.What is on my agenda and al-ways has been is trying to posi-tion our great state for jobgrowth so that all our familiescan have the dignity of beingable to provide economic secu-rity and stability in their lives. Agood job with the opportunity toadvance and grow is what westrive for, not more governmentwelfare for families who cannotfind jobs. The lowering of in-come taxes for all Kansansleaves more money for you tospend as you see fit, not a so-cialized government sharingyour wealth. The Kansasmedium income is $65,430, notexactly a tax cut for the rich.During the decade of GovernorSebelius and Parkinson, therewas 0 job growth in the privatesector, in the first three years ofGovernor Brownback there aremore than 55,000 new jobs andmore Kansans are now workingthan in the history of Kansas.Government welfare is now one-half of what it was, becausepeople have jobs. A low 4.9%unemployment rate doesn’t

have much of an emotional im-pact, but knowing you and yourneighbors have jobs does havean impact.

There have been ads statingGovernor Brownback’s planisn’t working after 8 months oftax filings. Where were thesecritics when Kansas was notgrowing for 10 years? Our eco-nomic growth for the last 8months has exceeded Ne-braska, Missouri and Okla-homa for the same time span.Where were the critics whenKansas was not growing as fastas those states for the past 10years? New business forma-tions are at an all time high-more jobs. We were so farbehind our neighboring states itwill take awhile to catch up!Just keep in mind, those whosay the economic plan isn’tworking are the same ones whowant higher taxes, more gov-ernment control of your life andthey are the same ones who lob-bied me for 10 years in the leg-islature to constantly vote forspending more of your money.

Our state revenues are lessthan 1.7% short of projectionsmade by the states ConsensusEstimating Group, due mainlyto the Federal governmentschange in tax policy at the endof 2012. Typically over the yearsthe Consensus EstimatingGroup estimates are within aplus or minus 2% of actual rev-enues and we are well withinthose historical numbers. In the

first three months of fiscal 2015year, the state has collected 1.3billion, just 23 million short ofestimates.

School funding-the lobbyistfor the Kansas Assoc. of Schoolboards has stated, GovernorBrownback has invested moremoney in K thru 12 every yearhe has been Governor. Ofcourse our schools need to befunded, but they need to be ef-ficient also in the spending ofthat money. We are now spend-ing (including federal) over$13,000 per student. The onlyactual cut in state spending Iam aware of was made by Gov-ernor Parkinson during the firstpart of the recession. I believeGovernor Brownback has in-creased school funding about$274,000,000.00 Never a cut.We did lose the temporary fed-eral funding that the critics arestating, but it wasn’t GovernorBrownback.

Kansas is known for itsstrong, independent people whobelieve less government is best,individual freedoms are impor-tant and our 2nd Amendmentrights are paramount. There isonly one team in the Governor’srace who believe in and will pro-tect those values.

I will be voting for GovernorBrownback and Jeff Colyer, theteam who works for what is im-portant to us, the people ofKansas.

During the ongoing open-enrollment period for MedicarePart D and Medicare Advan-tage plans, Sandy Praeger,Commissioner of Insurance, isurging Kansas Medicare bene-ficiaries to be alert to any po-tential scams surroundingsign-up activity.

“Unfortunately, not every-one who contacts Medicare-ageKansans about switching to aMedicare Advantage or drugplan has the best intentions,”Commissioner Praeger said.“Educating yourselves is veryimportant in fighting potentialfraud and illegal sales.”

The open-enrollment periodfor Medicare Prescription DrugPlan and Medicare Advantageplans began October 15 andends December 7, 2014.

To protect your family mem-bers or yourself from scamartists intent on taking advan-tage of the situation, Commis-sioner Praeger offers thefollowing tips.• Beware of door-to-doorsalespeople. Agents cannot so-licit business for eitherMedicare Part D or MedicareAdvantage Plans at your homewithout an appointment. Donot let uninvited agents intoyour home. Also, Medicare hasno official sales representa-

tives. Beware of any salesper-son who says that he/she is aMedicare representative.• Check with us at theKansas Insurance Department(KID) to make sure the sales-person is a licensed agent. Call800-432-2484 to speak with aConsumer Assistance repre-sentative.• No marketing in educationalor care settings is allowed.Federal regulations prohibitthe marketing of Medicareproducts in places wherehealth care is delivered or at aneducational event.• No free lunches, either.Federal regulations prohibit of-fers of free meals for listeningto a sales presentation for aMedicare product or for signingup for a particular plan.• Do not give out personal in-formation, such as Social Se-curity numbers, bank accountnumbers or credit card num-bers to anyone not verified as alicensed agent. Salespeople arenot allowed to request suchpersonal information in theirmarketing activities, and theycannot ask for payment overthe Internet. They must sendthe beneficiary a bill. Once heor she has decided to purchasea plan and has verified that theagent is licensed, the customer

may give the agent personal in-formation to assist in enroll-ment and billing.• Verify the plan chosen is anapproved Medicare plan. All ofthe approved plans are avail-able at www.medicare.govunder the “Finding Plans” sec-tion, or by calling 800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227).• Read and understand theplan. Be sure that the chosenplan matches the beneficiary’sneeds and that the beneficiarycan continue to see his or hercurrent health care providers ifdesired.

“With health care such animportant topic today, con-sumers have to arm them-selves with all the informationthey can,” CommissionerPraeger said. “Being a savvyMedicare beneficiary or familymember of a beneficiary helpsall of us fight fraudulent activ-ities.”

Kansas Medicare beneficiar-ies can also contact the SeniorHealth Insurance Counselingfor Kansas (SHICK) for infor-mation about Medicare issues.The state help line is 1-800-860-5260.

Students transferring toWichita State University dur-ing the spring 2015 semesterhave a new scholarship op-tion. Renewable merit schol-arships of $500 or $1,000 willbe available to new transferstudents.

“In the past, these scholar-ships were only available tostudents in the fall,” saidcommunity college coordina-tor Neal Hoelting. “But weunderstand that not everytransfer student follows thesame schedule. When theyare ready to transfer, we wantto have a scholarship avail-able for them.”

To be eligible, studentsmust be direct transfers fromanother college or universityand have completed at least12 credit hours and havefewer than 70 transfer credithours. Transfer studentsmust be fully admitted to theuniversity by December 1 tobe considered for springscholarships.

Scholarship amounts arebased on a student’s transferGPA. Students with a mini-mum 3.25 GPA will beawarded $500 for the spring2015 semester and a total of$1,000 during the 2016 aca-demic year. Those with atleast a 3.5 GPA will beawarded $1,000 for spring2015 and $2,000 for the2016 academic year. A 3.25GPA must be maintained atWSU to renew the scholar-ships.

Initial scholarship awardswill be offered in mid-Novem-ber with a second round ofscholarships to be awarded

in December.“Wichita State consistently

gets more transfers thanother state universities, andprograms like this are part ofthe draw,” Hoelting said. “Wesupport our transfer stu-dents, and scholarships arejust one way we show themour commitment to their po-tential at WSU.”

Santa Fe, N.M. boasts a beautiful cathedral in “Old Town”. Thisparticular incarnation of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francisof Assisi began construction in 1869 and continued until 1887.The original church was erected the same year Santa Fe wasfounded: in 1610.

Dana Swan and Jan Black enjoy watching the talented artistsas they perfect their detailed work, in public, during Santa Fe’sPaint Out event.

Average retail gasoline pricesin Kansas have risen 5.0 centsper gallon in the past week, av-eraging $2.96 per gallon Sun-day, according to GasBuddy'sdaily survey of 1,329 gas outletsin Kansas. This compares withthe national average that hasfallen 3.7 cents per gallon in thelast week to $3.05 per gallon,according to gasoline price Website GasBuddy.com.

Including the change in gasprices in Kansas during thepast week, prices Sunday were16.3 cents per gallon lower thanthe same day one year ago andare 20.7 cents per gallon lowerthan a month ago. The nationalaverage has decreased 28.4cents per gallon during the lastmonth and stands 25.9 centsper gallon lower than this dayone year ago.

“You know, I wonder if gasstations will run out of 2's touse on their signs because theycan't remember where they putthem all,” said GasBuddy.comsenior petroleum analystPatrick DeHaan. “It's been along time since we've seen thismany stations nationally under$3 per gallon - nearly fouryears. The best part is thatAmericans are saving a stagger-ing amount of money - almost$110 million a day - versuswhat was being spent at thepump a year ago. We're quicklyapproaching 70,000 gas sta-tions in the U.S. selling under$3 per gallon versus around7,500 stations one year ago.But while prices will continuedeclining in most areas acrossthe country, there is some badnews for motorists in the na-tion's midsection - mainly thePlains states - but the issuemay trickle over into a fewneighboring states. There hasbeen some supply tightnesssurrounding seasonal refinerywork that's causing wholesaleprices in that region to rise.While the problem is temporaryand may last a couple weeks,we want to inform motorists inthat area that they may noticeprices rising, but it is a shortterm problem, not a long termone. For motorists everywhereelse, pump prices should con-tinue to drift lower in the weekahead," DeHaan noted.

The Barton CommunityCollege Foundation presentsscholarships each year fromfunds received through itsfundraising events, endow-ments and annual scholar-ship gifts. For the 2014-15academic year, the Founda-tion has selected Codye Walbof Hugoton for the Frank andLelia Smith Scholarship.

According to Giving USA,72 percent of all U.S. charita-ble giving comes from individ-uals. Only six percent ofcharitable giving in theUnited States comes fromcorporations, and an addi-tional 15 percent comes fromfoundations. Retention ofcharitable donors can be dif-ficult, as only around 20 per-cent of donors give from yearto year. However, those whoare happy with the non-profit’s efforts are likely togive between ten and 12 per-cent more in individual dona-tions if they are provided withwhat they need from thecharity. Charities that fullydisclose how donations arebeing used are likely to seebigger retention rates thanthose that don’t.

A credit score is a numberlenders use to determine therisk associated with lendinga particular individualmoney. Credit scores are

sometimes even used bylandlords to determinewhether or not to allowprospective tenants to moveinto their properties. Many

factors combine to determinean individual's credit score.Payment history, which con-siders if individuals madepayments on time or, if theywere late, how late they werein making their payments,bears significant weight. Anybankruptcies, charge offs,debt settlements, foreclo-sures, or liens will also beconsidered when a person'spayment history, which somefinancial professionals sug-gest accounts for as much as35 percent of an individual'scredit score, is examined.Other factors that are consid-ered when determining creditscores are amounts owed,length of credit history andthe types of credit, such ascredit cards, installmentloans and mortgages, cur-rently in use.

TRICK, DON’T TREAT,CYBER CRIMINALS

Kids and kids at heart lookforward to the end of October,when we use tricks andtreats in equal measure tocelebrate Halloween. Nodoubt, you’ll be passing outtreats to costumed hobgob-lins and hooligans in yourneighborhood this Halloweennight. But be careful thatyou’re not fooled by a differ-ent kind of trickster lookingfor a larger handout—such asyour identity. October also is Crime Pre-vention Month and NationalCyber Security AwarenessMonth. So it is the perfecttime to remind you to safe-guard your personal informa-tion—whether it’s online, onpaper, or given out in person.Don’t share your personal in-formation, such as your fullname, date of birth, mother’smaiden name, and your So-cial Security number, withanyone unless you are cer-tain it is safe. Shred paper-

work that includes personalinformation before throwingit out. And never reply toemails claiming to be fromSocial Security and asking forsuch information. Finally,don’t carry your Social Secu-rity card or number with you.These tips should help re-duce your risk of identitytheft. Identity theft is one of thefastest-growing crimes inAmerica. If you think you’vebeen the victim of an identitythief, you should contact theFederal Trade Commission atwww.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft.

Don’t get scammed by holiday travel plans

With Thanksgiving rightaround the corner, holidaytravel season is in full swing.Unfortunately, that meansscammers will also be lookingto take advantage of thosetraveling to make a quickbuck. Whether your travelplans include an exotic ex-cursion or a family getaway toone of Kansas’ many local at-tractions, it’s important to beon alert for potential scams.

Travel dealsScammers often target va-

cationers with faxes, emailsor phone calls offering an in-credible price for whatsounds like a dream vaca-tion. Or they offer a “free” va-cation if you join a travel clubor attend a promotional sem-inar for a timeshare. As withall offers that sound too goodto be true, it’s important toread the fine print. In manycases, travelers arrive at theirdestination to discover theaccommodations aren’t quitewhat they were promised. Va-cation-goers may also be hitwith hidden fees or extracharges like bed fees, mealfees, or even fees for sheetsand towels.

Offers that seem too goodto be true almost always are.Instead of being pressured bysales representatives orpromised deals and dis-counts, it is better for you toinitiate the transaction. Docareful research. Many onlinetravel sites offer ways to com-pare prices and travel op-tions. You can also work witha local, trusted travel agent.

Read the fine printBefore purchasing a vaca-

tion package, study theagreement carefully. Makesure you clearly understandall charges and fees. Also, besure to check refund policieson airfare and hotel rooms, in

case you have to cancel.You should also consider

using a credit card to pay forthe purchase. In many cases,credit card companies offerfraud protections and youmaintain the ability to dis-pute any charges you did notagree to. Many credit cardcompanies also include traveland rental car insurance inyour credit card agreement.Check with your credit cardcompany to see if these op-tions are currently availableto you.

Beware of timesharesTimeshares offer vacation-

ers the opportunity to use avacation property for a lim-ited amount of time eachyear. While these may soundlike great deals, our officeoften hears complaints fromconsumers who have been hitby hidden charges in theirtimeshare agreements. Bethorough in your researchprior to purchasing a time-share so you understand thetrue cost of ownership. In ad-dition to the purchase price,

timeshare owners are usuallyrequired to pay annual main-tenance fees, which can goup each year. Improvementsto the timeshare property canalso result in additionalcosts. If you decide to sellyour timeshare, the companymay charge you recurringlisting fees.

If you think you’ve beenthe victim of a scam, pleasecontact our office at 1-800-432-2310 or online atwww.InYourCornerKansas.org. This site also includes asection called “Your Travel”that has tips on keeping yourhome safe during holidaytravel.

People with diabetes knowthey must monitor theirblood sugar levels on a dailybasis. It's vital to maintain ahealthy level of blood sugar,and doing so often comesdown to making smart di-etary choices. Those whohave diabetes should be care-ful when choosing sweetenersand foods that may causerapid changes in their bloodsugar. Agave syrup, a deriva-tive of the agave plant, mayprovide a solution for diabet-ics. Agave has long been usedin Mexico and other parts ofLatin America as part of atraditional diet. Its recent in-troduction to the Americanmarket is likely a byproductof increased interest in dia-betic-friendly foods. Agavesyrup has a low glycemicindex, which is used to deter-mine a food's ability to raiseblood sugar to a particularlevel within a given period oftime. However, not all agavenectar and syrup is producedin the same way, so productsoften differ with regard tohow they affect blood sugarlevels. Individuals with dia-betes should exercise cautionwhen introducing new foodsinto their diets and shouldcontinue to carefully monitortheir blood sugar levels.

Kansas Department for Chil-dren and Families (DCF) Secre-tary Phyllis Gilmore is pleasedto see that the U.S. Census Bu-reau’s recent SupplementalMeasure of Poverty reportshows that Kansas poverty hasdeclined and is below the na-tional average.

“We are committed to help-ing Kansas families escapepoverty through employmentand self-sufficiency,” SecretaryGilmore said. “Poverty preven-tion doesn’t happen overnight,but it is great to see that we’removing in the right direction.”

Thursday, October 16, theU.S. Census Bureau indicatedthat the poverty rate from 2011to 2013 in Kansas, dropped by2.3 percent. The poverty rate inKansas is 11.8 percent, com-pared to 15.9 percent nation-ally.

“The supplemental povertymeasure is an important toolthat helps policymakers andthe public judge the effective-ness of social safety-net pro-grams in a way that the official

poverty measure cannot,” Cen-sus Bureau Economist and re-port author Kathleen Shortsaid. “It also helps us track hownecessary expenses, such aspaying taxes or work-relatedand medical-out-of-pocket ex-penses affect the well-being ofall families.”

The U.S. Census Bureau’sofficial poverty measure was re-leased last month. That reportindicated that childhoodpoverty in Kansas was down .3percent, from the previous year.Kansas was one of 26 states inwhich the supplemental rateswere lower than the officialstatewide poverty rate. The sup-plemental poverty measurededucts various necessary ex-penses from income, includingmedical out-of-pocket ex-penses, income and payrolltaxes, child care expenses andwork-related expenses. Theseexpenses reduce income avail-able for purchasing essentialbasic goods, including food,clothing, shelter, utilities andmore.

In 2011, DCF announced aseries of welfare reforms de-signed to promote employment.Over the last several years, theagency has created importantpartnerships with other State

departments and communitygroups to ensure that every per-son who is currently receivingwelfare benefits and wants a jobhas a job.

“Employment is the key tomoving out of poverty,” Secre-tary Gilmore said. “Instilling astrong work ethic, before a per-son even graduates from highschool, is so important to en-suring that generational povertydoes not continue.”

Some DCF whole or par-tially-funded, poverty-preven-

tion programs include KansasEarly Head Start, Jobs forAmerica’s Graduates, KansasReading Roadmap, BuildingHealthy Families, VocationalRehabilitation’s Good for Busi-ness program for persons withdisabilities, Economic and Em-ployment Services’ partnershipwith the Kansas Department ofCommerce’s Workforce Cen-ters, Child Support Services’529 College Savings Initiativeand domestic violence servicesthat promote self-sufficiency.

A deer hunter from LabetteCounty got a surprise re-cently when he checked histrail camera he had set up fordeer. He found a single imageof a mountain lion walkingaway, down the trail, thecharacteristic long tail promi-nently displayed. Kansas De-partment of Wildlife, Parksand Tourism (KDWPT) staffvisited the site last week andverified the photo’s authen-ticity. This is the tenth moun-tain lion verified by KDWPTsince 2007, but the first in al-most two years.

The first confirmed moun-tain lion in 2007 was killedby an individual in BarberCounty. Since then, most ofthe sightings have been con-firmed with photographs

taken by remote, motion-trig-gered cameras commonlyused by deer hunters to keeptrack of deer movement neartheir stands.

In each instance, KDWPTstaff traveled to the siteswhere photos were taken tovalidate the photographs.Staff investigates sightingswhenever evidence, such astracks, a cached kill or a pho-tograph exists. Biologists as-

sume most sightings are oftransient young males, com-ing from established popula-tions in nearby states.

“It’s not uncommon foryoung males to travel greatdistances looking for homeranges,” said Matt Peek,KDWPT furbearer biologist.“So far, these animals appearto be passing through, ratherthan staying and establishinghome ranges in Kansas.”

Kansas, Colorado and Ne-braska officials announcedWednesday that the threestates have signed agree-ments resolving several Re-publican River Compactissues. One of the agree-ments ensures that theKansas Bostwick IrrigationDistrict in north centralKansas will have a viable irri-gation water supply for the2015 growing season whileproviding Nebraska certaintyof the effectiveness of its com-pact compliance efforts. Theother agreement ensures thatColorado and Kansas willwork towards improvingKansas’ water supply on theSouth Fork Republican Riverwhile authorizing Colorado toreceive credit in the Compactaccounting for operating itsaugmentation project on theNorth Fork Republican River.

“I’m pleased with theagreements we’ve come towith our neighbors in Ne-braska and Colorado. There

is still work to be done tostrengthen our relationshipsand to administer the Com-pact together, but today’sagreements are very impor-tant steps towards a muchbetter long-term situation,”Jackie McClaskey, KansasSecretary of Agriculture said.

Kansas Gov. Brownbackunderstands how importantwater is to the citizens ofKansas and is willing to fightfor the water needs of thestate and has directed his ad-ministration to work withColorado and Nebraska toreach an agreement.

The two resolutions final-izing the agreements wereunanimously approved in aspecial meeting of the Repub-lican River Compact Adminis-tration held Wednesday inDenver, Colorado.

“The Kansas team workedhard with our neighbors inNebraska and Colorado to de-velop common-sense propos-als that protect Kansas’

rights under the Compactwhile balancing certainty andflexibility for all three states.We are encouraged by theseagreements and will continueto work with Nebraska andColorado to resolve the Re-publican River issues thatstill separate us. This is whatthe water users of Kansas,Nebraska and Coloradorightly expect of us,” Mc-Claskey said.

Officials from the KansasDepartment of Agricultureand the Kansas Water Officewill be holding informationalmeetings in the areas affectedin the Republican River Basinover the next few months toupdate local stakeholders onthe current agreements be-tween the states and to learnmore about local needs andconcerns.

The recent agreements be-tween the states can be foundonline at agriculture.ks.gov.

Autumn is ripe with vi-brant colors and scenery.One of the more vivid sightsthis time of year are thebright, orange pumpkins thatadorn walkways and frontporches of homes and busi-nesses. Not only are pump-kins ideal for decorating, butthey’re also great to eat.

Some people who plan tocarve jack-o-lanterns mistak-enly believe the same type ofpumpkin can be used in theirfavorite recipes. But whatcarving pumpkins have in vi-sual flair, they usually lack inflavor and substance. In-stead, would-be pumpkincookers should look to othervarieties if they plan to servepumpkin on the menu.

Pumpkins are availablefrom September through De-cember, but they peak in Oc-tober. Many smallerpumpkins are better andsweeter for cooking. Minipumpkins, sugar, cheese,and pie pumpkins are vari-eties commonly used inrecipes. The big jack-o-lantern pumpkins havestringy, watery flesh and willprovide little to no pulp forcooking.

Select a pumpkin as youwould any other type ofsquash. Look for a firmpumpkin with no bruises orsoft spots. The pumpkin alsoshould have a deep orangecolor. Store pumpkins in a

cool, dark area until ready foruse to prolong freshness.Wash the exterior of thepumpkin in cool water beforecutting to remove any dirtand bacteria on the surface ofthe pumpkin so it won’t betransferred to the pulp of thepumpkin.

Slice the pumpkin in halfand remove the seeds andany stringy material. Rinseand save the seeds for plant-ing or roasting. Put thepumpkin pieces in the mi-crowave to cook or you cansteam or bake them until thepulp is soft and the pumpkinfalls off of the skin. Cool thepumpkins, then puree thepulp until it’s smooth. Youmay want to strain thepureed pumpkin with acheese cloth to remove anyexcess water before using ina pie recipe. Baked breadsmay benefit from the extramoisture.

Pumpkins are a greatsource of dietary fiber, vita-min A, vitamin C, riboflavin,potassium, copper, man-ganese, vitamin E, thiamin,niacin, vitamin B6, folate,iron, calcium, magnesium,and phosphorus. They’re alsolow in fat and calories. Pump-kin puree can replace the oilin some baking recipes,much as you would use ap-plesauce.
