With students gettingback to school, there are im-portant safety reminders theKansas Department ofTransportation and theKansas Highway Patrolwould like to point out tostudents, parents and mo-torists in Kansas.Tips for Children• Don’t hurry getting on oroff the bus. Arrive at leastfive minutes before the busis scheduled.• As the bus approaches,stand at least five giant steps(ten feet) away from theroadside, and line up awayfrom the street.• Wait until the bus stops,door opens, and the driversays it’s okay before steppingonto the bus. Use handrailsto avoid falls. Be careful thatclothes, shoelaces, bookbags, or other items are se-cure and won’t get caught onthe handrail or door of thebus.• If you have to cross thestreet in front of the bus,walk on the sidewalk oralong the side of the road atleast ten feet ahead of thebus before you cross in frontof it. Be sure the driver cansee you, and you can see thedriver. Never walk behindthe bus, and walk at leastthree giant steps away fromthe side of the bus.• If you drop something, tellthe driver, and then make

sure the driver understandsbefore you try to pick it up.They may not see you bend-ing down. A child is lesslikely to drop something intraffic if they carry a back-pack.• Obey the bus driver, sitfacing forward, use an insidevoice, and don’t stick any-thing out the windows.• Leave your distractions inyour backpack. Everythingcan wait until you are safelyin the school or in yourhome.• Just because you are at acrosswalk doesn’t mean adriver is aware of you. Al-ways look LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT again before crossingthe street.Tips for Drivers• When backing out of adriveway or leaving a garage,watch out for children walk-ing or riding to school.• When driving in neigh-borhoods with school zones,watch out for young peoplewho may be thinking aboutgetting to school, but maynot be thinking about get-ting there safely.• Slow down. Watch forchildren congregating nearbus stops.• Be alert. Children arrivinglate for the bus may dart intothe street without looking fortraffic.• Know that it is illegal topass a school bus stopped

for loading / unloading. InKansas, the fine for this po-tentially deadly violation is$315, plus court costs.• If you see a bus ahead,slow down in preparation forits stop. It's easy to misjudgethe speed at which you canovertake a bus, and theymake frequent stops.• Learn the flashing signallight system school bus driv-ers use to alert motorists ofpending actions. Never passa bus when flashing lightsare displayed.

* Yellow flashing lights in-dicate the bus is preparingto stop to load or unloadchildren. Motorists shouldslow down and prepare tostop.

* Red flashing lights andan extended stop arm indi-cate the bus is stopped andchildren are getting on or off.Motorists must stop andwait until the red lights stopflashing, the extended sign iswithdrawn, and the bus be-gins moving before startingto drive again.• While stopped behind abus, motorists should put alldistractions away and givetheir full attention to theroad, and what is going on inand around the bus.

Dear Editor,Flying never happens

until the bird leaves thenest.

President Johnson'sGreat Society is just over 50years old. During this verylong period America's greatsociety nest has becomehuge and yet crowded.

President Lyndon John-son declared war on povertyin January 1964. He thenneeded a poster child for hisnew campaign and chose myhometown - Inez, Kentucky.The famous TIME Magazinepicture of Tom Fletcher andhis family sitting on a porchwith the President happenedabout two miles from myboyhood home.

Life changed for Americain many ways in the sixties.The Civil Rights act was vitaland was an important pieceof Johnson's war. Helpingkids go to college was a cru-cial investment in America'sfuture. In reality at facevalue it's hard to knock mostof the programs that havebecame permanent Ameri-can fixtures.

Most of us know someonethat has used Medicare,Medicaid, federal collegehelp, food stamps, HeadStart, Women and Infant

Children and much, muchmore. With any thoughtwhatsoever we know thatmany of Johnson's programshave been lifesavers for mil-lions of Americans.

The problem is how far dowe go and for how long?Three fourths of our nationalbudget goes to Medicare,Medicaid, Social Securityand defense. I realize John-son didn't start Social Secu-rity or our defense program.However, his administrationproduced about 40 new pro-grams and most of them insome form are still in exis-tence. Government pro-grams seldom go away. Theyjust get bigger and needmore and more money.

I am all for helping peoplethat really need it and aretrying. However, there has tobe a cut off time. Federalhandouts can't go on for alifetime unless someone istruly disabled.

A lifetime of welfare is per-sonal and national debilita-tion.

One big problem is thatall of The Great Society pro-grams are enrolling more

and more people. In millionsof cases people hang on totheir government support foras long as possible. Morepeople require more federalbudget dollars. These dollarscome from the taxes of theAmerican people. America isbroke and going deeper anddeeper into debt to keep ourcurrent programs going.

The safety net programsof The Great Society eramust only be safety netswith a cut off time. Millionsshould not be allowed to livein these safety programs for-ever. Whether it's one, two oreven three years there mustbe a cut off time when thegovernment says no more.

There comes a time thatevery family must insist thatevery able child financiallycare for himself. I firmly be-lieve we must help everychild succeed. This involvesa major investment of ourtime and resources. Educa-tion and/or some type oftraining are vital to all. How-ever, the time comes and it'spainful but children have toleave the nest. If they do notthey will never learn how tofly and survive.

Kansas has a lot to offerhunters. Abundant wildlife, amultitude of hunting oppor-tunities, and diverse land-scapes are just a few of thethings making Kansas a truehunter’s paradise. And whileit’s always been a safe placeto hunt, it’s a safer-than-everplace to hunt now, accordingto the 2013 Kansas Hunter

Education Hunting IncidentReport. A total of six reportedhunting incidents took placelast year, the lowest numberof incidents reported sincethe Kansas Department ofWildlife, Parks and Tourism(KDWPT) began keepingrecord over 50 years ago.Luckily, none of these inci-dents resulted in fatalities,

but all incidents can be pre-vented if basic gun safetyrules are followed. Hunting isone of the safest outdoor ac-tivities when you consider thelow number of incidents com-pared to the millions ofhunter days recorded byKansas hunters each fall.However, even veteranhunters must keep safe gunhandling first in mind.

RULES OF GUN SAFETY• Treat every firearm as ifit’s loaded.• Never point your firearm atanything you don’t want toshoot.• Keep the safety on untilright before you shoot.• Know your target andwhat lies beyond it.• Never put your finger onthe trigger until you are readyto shoot.

Rules of gun safety arejust one of many lessonstaught during Hunter Educa-tion courses in Kansas, andthe program is a big reasonhunting-related incidents inthe state are at an all-timelow. Since 1973, more than500,000 students have com-pleted the Kansas Hunter Ed-ucation course.

If you, or someone youknow, is interested in takinga Hunter Education courseand continuing good huntingpractices, visit ksoutdoors.com and click “Services/Ed-ucation/Hunter” for more in-formation.

Kansas Hunter Educationcourses are conducted solelyby volunteer instructors whograciously offer their timeand expertise at no cost toKDWPT. Courses can befound through the KDWPTWeb site listed above, how-ever students should keep inmind classes offered arebased on instructor availabil-ity.

When hunting seasonkicks off, nothing can bemore frustrating than a badshot. Contrary to a popularnotion, good shooters aren’tborn that way. Good shootersget that way through pre-sea-son practice, and thoseshooters will have more suc-cessful hunts this fall.

Three major seasons areon the cusp of arriving inKansas, including dove, teal,and deer. Whether yourquarry flies in the sky or trotson the ground, here are a fewsuggestions for better accu-racy in the field. And remem-ber, always handle firearmssafely.

Dove season is September1-October 31 and November1-9. Teal season is Septem-ber 13-28 in the Low PlainsZone and September 20-28 inthe High Plains Zone. Tobrush up on your shotgunskills before the dove and tealseasons open, visit a localtrap, skeet, five-stand orsporting clays range. Unlessyou shoot competitively, youprobably don’t get the oppor-tunity to shoot much duringthe off-season. After a longlayoff, you may be surprisedat how rusty your shootingskills have become. If youdon’t have a shotgun rangenearby, get permission to ac-cess a field or pasture from alandowner and shoot sometargets from a hand targetthrower. Shooting just a fewboxes of shells at targets willimprove your eye and createmuscle memory for propershotgun mounting.

The Youth/Disabled DeerSeason is September 6-14,and all young hunters shouldbe given the opportunity topractice with the equipmentthey will use. Preseason prac-tice is a great way for a younghunter to become familiarwith firearm or archeryequipment, learn shootingfundamentals and reinforcesafety habits.

The regular archery sea-son is September 15-Decem-ber 31. Successfulbowhunters usually have aregular practice schedule forseveral weeks or monthsprior to the archery season.It’s a good idea to practiceseveral times a week or evendaily, shooting just a few ar-rows each session. Concen-trate on technique andstrengthening the musclesnecessary to draw the bowsmoothly and hold steadywhile aiming. As the seasondraws closer, practice withbroadheads and even donyour hunting coat and otherequipment you’ll wear whilehunting. If you hunt from atreestand or elevated blind,find a way to practice shoot-ing from an elevated position.Pay attention to shooting dis-tances you’re most accuratefrom and keep those in mindwhile hunting. An ethicalhunter knows his or her lim-itations and shoots withinthem.

The Muzzleloader DeerSeason is September 15-28.Hunting with a muzzleloaderpresents a unique challengebecause of the distance limi-tation and the fact that a fol-low-up shot requires atime-consuming loading pro-cedure. A muzzleloading rifleis very accurate as long asthe hunter finds the rightpowder and bullet combina-tion and learns to shoot thegun. Time on the range,learning both your own andyour gun’s limitations will in-crease your odds of successthis fall.

Start preparing for a greatfall hunting season now byfinding a gun range and hon-ing your shooting skills. Visitksoutdoors.com and “Ser-vices/Education/ShootingRanges,” or visit WhereToShoot.org to find a rangenear you. Later this season,you and your stomach will beglad you did.

A nice feature of the MortonCounty Fair is the Pee WeeShowmanship. It’s for the chil-dren who are too young to actu-ally be in 4H/FFA to have achance to “show” an animal withan experienced member. Thesenior members are so great tohelp the little ones walk with a

pig, goat, or sheep and the chil-dren win prizes, just like theolder ones. It’s enjoyable to seethe leadership roles the 4H/FFAmembers use when workingwith a little child. Kudos to allthe 4H/FFA members who werewilling to help younger childrendevelop an interest in livestock.

The liver receives 25 percentof the blood that the heartpumps with each beat. One ofthe largest organs in the body,the liver also is one of the mostimportant, serving a variety offunctions that keep human be-ings alive. One of the more im-portant functions the liverperforms is the production ofbile, an alkaline fluid that helpshumans absorb food and elim-inate toxins. Bile salts are pro-duced in the liver and travelthrough the bile duct and intothe intestine. These bile saltshelp humans absorb fat fromtheir diets. When the liver isfunctioning poorly, some peoplemay develop diarrhea or mal-nutrition. That's because apoorly functioning liver may not

be producing enough bile orpumping out the bile it is pro-ducing as adequately as itneeds to for the body to main-tain normal function.

Saturday NightBy Gladys Renfro

Folks from the country come to town to do tradin’ with eggcrates of 36 dozen and 12 dozen. This helps pay the grocery billat Quality Grocery.

We wash and clean up in the wash tub and puton clean clothes - bib overalls and cotton shirts forthe men folk, new-sewn cotton dresses for thewomen, with a new summer straw hat. Childrenwere happy goin’ barefoot - no shoes, no socks.

Friends and neighbors enjoy each other’s com-pany as we visit and watch the people and learn the town’s news.

Perhaps, if we had a nickel we would stop and eat a hambugerat Slim Brown’s Cafe or visit The Variety Store (the five and dime)Carl Ellington and Lura White run. There we purchase chocolate

peanut custers, chocolates, orround pink 3XXX pepermint candyor Blue Danube perfume or toys

and many household articles. The price is just right.The store is greater than any shopping centers oftoday.

Summer evenings are long. The work day hasstopped. Come Saturday night you ride with the girlfriend orboyfriend up and down Main Street making U-turns at the edgeof town.

Then, time to go home! Tomorrow is Sunday. There are shoesto polish and shine, clothes to be selected and laid out. Then, offto sleepy dream land.

Sunday morning... Church bells are ringingand it’s time to worship in the white frame churchbuilding. We sing the old hymns and hear the eld-ers’ “Amens!” to the preacher’s sermon.

After church we have dinner on the grounds.There is plenty of fried chicken and homemade pies and cakes,served with hot black coffee and iced tea.

It was a great life! Thank God for the memories and enjoytoday.

When the ironing is finished,the housewife can unfold theironing board and sit down fora little relaxation in this prac-tical combination donated tothe museum by Barbara Shel-ton and her family. It is at least75 years old.

Come see the collection of irons—electric irons, gasoline (blue)irons, sad irons. (No, they are not so named because it madewomen sad to stand over the ironing board all day. Sadiron—today it is one word—is a type of iron, smoothing, solid and flat,as opposed to a box iron that is hollow and meant to hold coals.)

MUSEUM UPDATEfrom The Stevens County Gas & Historical MuseumGladys Renfro, Beulah Carter, and Billy Woodworth

The Kansas attorney gen-eral’s office recovered more than$28 million in taxpayer fundsthrough its Medicaid fraud en-forcement during the recentlyended state fiscal year, KansasAttorney General DerekSchmidt said last week.

“The Medicaid program is in-tended to help care for Kansansin need, not to pay for fraudu-lent claims or services not pro-vided,” Schmidt said. “Ouroffice continues to take seri-ously our responsibility to pro-

tect taxpayers’ money frombeing misspent by vigorouslyprosecuting those providerswho try to illegally enrich them-selves from the public treas-ury.”

During state fiscal year2014, which ended June 30,the Medicaid Fraud and AbuseDivision of Schmidt’s office re-covered more than $28.7 mil-lion on behalf of taxpayers. Therecoveries were reported in theDivision’s annual report to theU.S. Department of Health and

Human Services, which wasfiled yesterday. The report isavailable online at http://1.usa.gov/1nPafEy.

This was the second-highestyear of recoveries on record, fol-lowing last fiscal year’s record-setting $33.7 million. SinceSchmidt took office in 2011, theoffice has recovered more than$94 million through its Medi-caid fraud recovery efforts.

In addition to the financialrecoveries, the report also high-lighted the successful efforts ofSchmidt’s office this year tostrengthen the state’s Medicaid

fraud and elder abuse laws. In the past year, Schmidt’s

office also launched a new on-line Medicaid fraud reportingform, which allows Kansas citi-zens to submit online tips ifthey believe Medicaid fraud orabuse is occurring. Anyonewith information about Medi-caid fraud should report it onthat form on the attorney gen-eral’s website at www.ag.ks.govor by calling (866) 551-6328.
