The Stevens County Board of County Commissioners met in regular session Monday, August 4, 2014 with all members Pat Hall, James Bell and Dave Bozone present. Also present were County Clerk Pam Bensel and RoGlenda Coulter from The Hugoton Hermes. County Counselor Robert Johnson was absent. The following is just an agenda for the morning with a few of the unofficial highlights. Official minutes will be published at a later date. The commissioners’ agenda included Tony Martin at 9:30 and Pat LeClerc at 10:30. When this reporter arrived around 8:45 the commissioners were discussing general business. They were looking over pa-
pers and mail Pam had given them. Motion was made and passed to accept the resolution for the solid waste plan. Motion was made and passed to accept the three board members for the Senior Center: Janie Gaskill, Linda Brooks and Kay (Cochrane) Thrall. Vernon Anderson informed the commissioners the VFW Building has officially been signed over to Pheasant Heaven Charities. When asked, Vernon said the tank is to be moved shortly and headed to Rosebud, Mo. Vernon reminisced of all the many memories with the building including all the past Veterans who led many meetings and events at the location. He related it is a very sad and solemn
occasion of letting the building go, as well as losing Stevens County’s own local post. Pam called Tony Martin and asked him to come in early. Tony gave his report for the Stevens County Fair. He said all went well with only a couple glitches. The food auction set a record this year bringing in $26,000! The livestock auction didn’t disappoint those little 4-H’ers either also setting a record of $206,000!!! Dave suggested that next year possibly requiring vaccination for the bucket calves at weigh-in time. Commissioners complimented John Deere for their help during the fair. As for Road and Bridge, Tony brought up the subject of sprinklers watering roadways. Commissioners want to get the word out they are going to be a lot more aggressive about sprinklers watering the roadways! Tony went on to talk about some other road issues and told what roads they will be doing
asphalt on. Commissioners then moved into executive session with Tony Martin present. When back in public session, motion was made to allow county employees have work days at the Stevens County Fair without their pay being docked and without having to take vacation days, but only with the county department heads’ permission. Pam reminded the commissioners of their budget meeting September 29. The next regular meeting will be August 18 and the September 1 meeting will be moved to September 2 as September 1 is Labor Day. Pat LeClerc came in to discuss the county’s health insurance plan. She happily reported the county plan will not be going up in price, only in the number of employees. The price per employee is around $620 with smokers paying themselves, Continued to page 3

Consumer Alert Contributed by the Kansas Insurance Department College students across Kansas are packing furniture, electronics and all the other necessities of college life. They will soon head to their schools for the 2014-15 term. Will they forget something? Probably. But Sandy Praeger, Kansas Commissioner of Insurance, hopes it isn’t their insurance coverage needs. “As college students head to their schools around the state, I urge them (and their parents) to check over their property and medical coverages, so they don’t have surprises down the road,’ Commissioner Praeger said. The Commissioner, the Kansas Insurance Department (KID) and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) have put together the following insurance tips for Kansas college students and parents. Health Insurance Nearly all young adults up to age 26 can now stay on their parents’ health insurance plans because of federal legislation. That provision is not affected by marital status, financial dependency, enrollment in school, or location. At school, students should have copies of their insurance cards and know how to seek medical treatment, the Commissioner advises. For firsttime college students, knowing where the student health center is located should be on their checklist. “If the student is insured through a network of medical providers, check to see if he/she will be in
or out of the provider network service area while attending school,” Commissioner Praeger said. “That will make a difference in how much you or your student will have to pay for out-of-pocket charges.” Another coverage option is a student health insurance plan purchased through the college; However, not all schools offer these limited plans, and some have limited benefits. Renters Insurance Parents should check with their insurance agents to determine whether their family homeowners policies extend to children away at school. If not, they could consider a renters policy for their students. “The one factor to remember is a landlord’s policy doesn’t cover a renter’s personal belongings,” Commissioner Praeger said. Taking photos or video of the possessions and keeping an inventory list in a secure location are two good ideas for recording personal belongings. To print an easy-to-use home inventory checklist from KID and get more tips about disaster preparedness, visit www.ksinsurance.org and click on “Publications” under the Quick Links button at the top right of the home page.” Smart phone users can do an electronic inventory by using the myHOME Scr.APP.book application from the NAIC. Even coverage for contents in the student's car or rental vehicle before he/she gets to campus is something you should check about with your fam-
ily’s insurance agent Auto Insurance If a student is taking a car to school, check with your local agent about the current vehicle insurance policy. Ask about the rates for the college's city and state before deciding whether to keep the student's car on the family's auto policy. Identity Theft Identity theft insurance is limited. It can’t protect parents or students from becoming victims of identity theft, and it doesn’t cover direct financial losses. “It does give coverage for the cost of reclaiming you or your student's financial identity — such as the costs of making phone calls, making copies, mailing documents, taking time off from work without pay (lost wages) and hiring an attorney,” Commissioner Praeger said. Parents should check first to see if their homeowners policies include identity theft insurance while students are away from home. If a student is renting an apartment, ask if his/her renters insurance covers identity theft, or if that could be added to the policy. “Making the college experience a positive one requires some preparation,” Commissioner Praeger said. “That is certainly true of making sure your students’ insurance needs are covered.” Submitted by the Kansas Insurance Department.
Commissioner’s Corner by Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger
I have been Insurance Commissioner in Kansas for almost 12 years, and during much of that time some people have proposed that the federal government regulate insurance. Representing state commissioners, I have testified before congressional committees on insurance issues, and Kansas Insurance Department (KID) staff members have worked closely with some federal officials. While those collaborations have been good for the most part, federal agencies overall don’t seem to have a lot of insurance knowledge or experience. Based on my experience, I believe state insurance regulation has worked well and keeps getting better. I also believe that however wellmeaning the idea is, federal regulation of insurance would not be as effective. States have regulated insurance companies during good and bad times for nearly 150 years. Most recently, the 2008 Great Recession produced several large federal
bailouts. During that time, the state insurance regulatory system performed well. The problems with AIG, a large conglomerate, are sometimes raised as insurance regulatory problems. However, AIG’s life and property/casualty insurance weathered the storm. AIG’s biggest problems came from their federally-regulated financial products division. Many federal advocates don’t understand why individual states do things differently; at times, they also don’t understand company practices. The advocates sometimes want uniformity where differences should be allowed. State regulators do work together through the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). The NAIC sponsors an open process to discuss key issues. Financial reporting, rate and form filing, and licensing are all addressed through this process. The NAIC also provides funding for outside consumer representatives to provide
their viewpoints. This NAIC process allows states to develop best practices for local regulation. These practices in turn work to balance the needs of consumers, companies, and regulators. State regulation strikes a balance between two important objectives. The first is finding some consistency of requirements across states. This goal is especially important to financial matters, such as making sure companies have enough reserves to handle claims and operating expenses. The second goal is to reflect state differences where needed. For example, each state’s economy and cost differences may be important for certain coverages. It’s also easier to handle consumer complaints at the state level, especially in Kansas, where you will get a live person on our department’s Consumer Assistance Hotline (800-4322484). Effective insurance regulation must constantly adapt, because economic conditions change over time. And be-
tion. Men ages 12 and up are invited to join the fellowship for worship, refreshments and guest speaker Tim Clements of Tuscaloosa, Al., founder of Sons of Thunder.

cause the insurance business covers many product types with different risks, new products are designed each year. Medical and property/casualty claims costs are constantly changing. Do you think a federal agency and Congress could keep up with the needed changes? Even more stable products such as life insurance provide coverage over many years. Companies must set aside reserves for these future claims. Because state insurance regulators monitor companies on a regular basis, consumers can feel safer knowing local people are watching the safety of their policies. At KID, we emphasize the idea “Do the right thing.” We honestly strive for that ideal. Doing the right thing usually means applying principles to individual situations. It means having flexibility and using judgment and, in our case, good Kansas common sense. We currently have a good balance in state insurance regulation. We have the ben-
efit of a local view of issues, and we have the NAIC to help states work together. This balanced approach has worked well for a long time. I don’t think a federal approach would likely work better.

When hunting season kicks off, nothing can be more frustrating than a bad shot. Contrary to a popular notion, good shooters aren’t born that way. Good shooters get that way through pre-season practice, and those shooters will have more successful hunts this fall. Three major seasons are on the cusp of arriving in Kansas, including dove, teal, and deer. Whether your quarry flies in the sky or trots on the ground, here are a few suggestions for better accuracy in the field. And remember, always handle firearms safely. Dove season is September 1 to October 31 and November 1 to 9. Teal season is September 13 to 28 in the Low Plains Zone and September 20 to 28 in the High Plains Zone. To brush up on your shotgun skills before the dove and teal seasons open, visit a local trap, skeet, five-stand or sporting clays range. Unless you shoot competitively, you probably don’t get the opportunity to shoot much during the off-season. After a long layoff, you may be surprised at how rusty your shooting skills have become. If you don’t have a shotgun range nearby, get permission to access a field or pasture from a landowner and shoot some targets from a hand target thrower. Shooting just a few boxes of shells at targets will improve your eye and create muscle memory for proper shotgun mounting. The Youth/Disabled Deer Season is September 6 to 14, and all young hunters should be given the opportunity to practice with the equipment
The 4-H’ers of Stevens County would like to thank the following contributors for an outstanding year at the 4-H Food Auction during the Stevens County Fair.

they will use. Preseason practice is a great way for a young hunter to become familiar with firearm or archery equipment, learn shooting fundamentals and reinforce safety habits. The regular archery season is September 15 to December 31. Successful bowhunters usually have a regular practice schedule for several weeks or months prior to the archery season. It’s a good idea to practice several times a week or even daily, shooting just a few arrows each session. Concentrate on technique and strengthening the muscles necessary to draw the bow smoothly and hold steady while aiming. As the season draws closer, practice with broadheads and even don your hunting coat and other equipment you’ll wear while hunting. If you hunt from a treestand or elevated blind, find a way to practice shooting from an elevated position. Pay attention to shooting distances you’re most accurate from and keep those in mind while hunting. An ethical hunter knows his or her limitations and shoots within them. The Muzzleloader Deer Season is September 15 to 28. Hunting with a muzzleloader presents a unique challenge because of the distance limitation and the fact that a follow-up shot requires a time-consuming loading procedure. A muzzleloading rifle is very accurate as long as the hunter finds the right powder and bullet combination and learns to shoot the gun. Time on the range, learning both your own and your gun’s limitations will increase your odds of success this fall. Start preparing for a great fall hunting season now by finding a gun range and honing your shooting skills. Visit ksoutdoors.com and “Services/Education/Shooting Ranges,” or visit Where ToShoot.org to find a range near you. Later this season, you and your stomach will be glad you did.

USDA wants your opinion The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is seeking public input concerning a proposal to provide more information to the public about the amount of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits used by participants at individual grocery stores and retailers. USDA's goal is to provide as much transparency as possible on retailer data within the limits of the law. In doing so, USDA will consider input from a wide variety of stakeholders through a Request for Information (RFI) published Monday in the Federal Register. The RFI seeks public comment on several questions related to the transparency of SNAP retailer redemption information. “Our goal is to provide more transparency so that people can have access to basic information about the amount of SNAP benefits that individual grocery stores and retailers are redeeming,” Agriculture Under Secretary Kevin Concannon said. “We hope that this public comment period will be informative as to how we can do that in the most thoughtful and appropriate way possible.” The RFI is part of the Obama Administration's ongoing effort to make government more open and accountable and increase transparency. Since 1978, USDA has interpreted federal law as protecting SNAP retailer redemption information. A South Dakota newspaper successfully challenged that view and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ultimately agreed, ruling in favor of the newspaper. The ruling was limited to the interpretation of Section 9(c) of the Food and Nutrition Act and did not address whether redemption data constitutes “trade secrets, [or] commercial or financial information obtained from a person [that is] privileged or confidential” which would still be protected from disclosure through Exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). USDA is now considering whether this redemption data constitutes confidential business information under FOIA. To make a determination, USDA is required to seek feedback from affected stakeholders, specifically SNAP retailers, on whether annual
aggregate redemption data from individual stores is confidential under FOIA. Additionally, the USDA is considering what, if any, adjustments should be made to SNAP regulations regarding the release of SNAP retailer transaction data in the future based on input from the public. Comments may be submitted through the Federal Register until September 8, 2014. SNAP - the nation's first line of defense against hunger - helps put food on the table for millions of low income families and individuals every month. As the largest of USDA's 15 nutrition assistance programs, SNAP has never been more critical to the fight against hunger. SNAP is a vital supplement to the monthly food budget of more than 46 million low-income individuals. Nearly half of SNAP participants are children, nine percent are over 60 and more than 40 percent of recipients live in households with earnings. Submitted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Senior Living Tips: Stay in touch with friends Older Americans - particularly those with chronic medical conditions - need to keep in touch with friends, family and neighbors in the summer time, particularly if you are physically active or if you live alone, the Association of Mature American Citizens suggests. Let them know if you'll be out and about for any extended period of time; if they are not checking up on you from time to time, you should check in with them. AMAC says the advice is especially important when temperatures start to rise. From the Association of Mature American Citizens.

MUSEUM UPDATE from The Stevens County Gas & Historical Museum Gladys Renfro and Beulah Carter, Linda McCrary and Billy Woodworth At the Fair In 1896, a doctor by the name of Martin A. Couney went to the Berlin Exposition with a “contraption” that would bring him worldwide acclaim. Martin A. Couney, born in Germany in 1870, traveled to fairs and expositions with a then unheard-of attraction he called the infant incubator! In the early 1900s 85 percent of premature babies died. So when no one was willing to help fund the groundbreaking life saver, Dr. Couney felt his only option was to prove the skeptics wrong by traveling as a carnie! An interesting fact; Dr. Couney’s own daughter, Hildegarde, was born premature and she lived with the help of her father and that “fallacy of a machine!” He was successful and even opened an incubator clinic at Coney Island in New York. The sign out front stated: “Life begins at the Baby Incubator.” Shortly afterword hospitals began picking up on premature baby care made popular by Dr. Couney, as did public excitement. Then in 1943 with an 80
percent survival rate, the good doctor declared his work “finished” and closed up shop for good. Since that time preemie care has brought babies as young as 4 months gestation and as small as 0.84 lbs a full life. (Source: www.dailymail. co.uk/health/article2249383/The-tiny-prematurebaby-lived-doctors-recordedweight-incorrectly-battled-alive. html) “The Incubator Doctor” devoted close to 50 years of his life convincing skeptics prematurity was not a death sentence. Dr Couney died in 1950 at the age of 80. In 1948 the Alexander X 4 Baby Incubator, model 500, was patented and we have one displayed at the museum. While this model is not holding a premature infant, it does have an old baby doll and while Dr. Couney charged 25¢ admission to see his incubators, we won’t charge you anything! Well…Linda might…but the museum is free and we would love to have you visit. Come by 905 S. Adams in Hugoton, Monday through Friday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturdays!
A baby incubator is displayed at the Stevens County Gas and Historical Museum. These incubators have saved the lives of countless premature babies.

Eckert receives Jeff Atherly Inspiration Award The Thirty-First Annual Kansas Masonic All-State High School Marching Band concluded camp with a high note Saturday, July 26, with a parade in downtown Pittsburg and pre-game and halftime performances by the band for the East-West Shrine Bowl. Three exceptional student musicians had extra pep in their step after receiving honors and scholarship awards during a presentation Friday.
Takoda Marcus Eckert, a 2014 graduate of Hugoton High School, was honored with The Jeff Atherly Inspiration Award. This award, given in memory of Jeff Atherly - a four-year veteran of band camp - is presented annually to the student who epitomizes the character of the Kansas Masonic All-Star Marching Band tradition. Takoda received a $1,000 scholarship with this award. Takoda plays trumpet.
Zerul Kutina, 2014 graduate of Topeka High School, received the Outstanding Musician Award presented to him by the Kansas Masonic All-State Marching Band staff. Zerul’s honor came with a $1,500 scholarship. Zerul plays tenor saxophone. The Masonic Pride Award went to Erick Sherman, incoming senior at DeSoto High School. This award, along with a $500 scholarship, is presented to the student who
KU doctors put Ebola virus into perspective The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have released detailed guidelines and clinical criteria for evaluating patients who might appear with symptoms of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) and are at risk for having been exposed to EVD. The guidelines include, but are not limited to, a fever greater than 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and additional symptoms such as severe headache, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or unexplained hemorrhage. Also, the CDC guidelines call for assessing epidemiologic risk factors within the three weeks before the onset of symptoms, such as contact with blood or other body fluids of a patient
known to have or suspected to have EVD; residence in - or travel to - an area where EVD outbreak or direct handling of bats, rodents or primates from disease-endemic areas. The CDC alert says patients should also be checked for malaria, which doctors at The University of Kansas Hospital says shares some of the same symptoms as EVD and is also very deadly. “Malaria kills close to a million people annually, worldwide” James L. Fishback, MD, professor of Pathology and Lab Medicine; at The University of Kansas Hospital said. “We’ve never had an outbreak of EVD on US soil, but we treat a few cases of malaria here at KU
Hospital every year, as well as tuberculosis, which also claims nearly a million lives every year.” Doctors say it’s important to keep the EVD outbreak in perspective. Although it’s making big headlines in the national news, it is extremely rare, and mainly a risk to people who are taking care of EVD patients in Africa. Doctors say EVD outbreaks happen about every ten years. People should use common sense and consult CDC travel advisories for this and other diseases if you’re planning travel to areas reported in the current outbreak. Submitted by the University of Kansas Hospital.
stands out through random acts of kindness and service to all band kind during camp each year. Erick plays trumpet. Approximately 178 high school musicians attended The Kansas Masonic All-State High School Marching Band camp in Pittsburg. Doug Whitten, Pittsburg State University Director of Athletic Bands, directed the four-day camp. During camp, attendees presented camp organizers with hundreds of stuffed animals for Shriner Hospital kids. Campers also were treated to cookouts hosted by Pittsburg Lodge 187 and Galena Lodge 194.

Hittles head to Wichita for Glow Run 5K Members of the Steve Hittle family have been recruited to run/walk in the Glow Run 5K in Wichita. Cindy Hittle, along with her daughters Laurie Crawford of Hugoton, April Wood and Jenni Pelland of Pratt, and daughter-in-law Jen Hittle of Ulysses, all decided in 2012 to participate in an exercise program including encouraging each other to get up and move. Jenni decided to enter everyone in the Glow Run that year for extra motivation. It has become a tradition
for their family, gaining new members at times when others cannot attend. Their team name is All Glowry to God. The goal is to get as many immediate family members to participate as possible. The run this year was August 2. Steve joined the race with Cindy and daughters, Jenni and April, as well as Jenni’s son Kaiser. The money raised from this event goes to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The race began at the Wichita Ice Center at 8:30 p.m.
Bright colored t-shirts and glow sticks were given to each participant. The track wends along the river and then returned to the ice center. Steve, Cindy and April live in Rolla, where Steve farms, Cindy is the head Morton County Librarian and April is a student in nursing school. Jenni and Kaiser live in Pratt, where Jenni is the middle school cross country coach. Next year, they hope Laurie and Jen can join as well as more children. Way to go, Hittle family!

To accommodate the budget cut, the Friday ARGH program will still offer academic mornings from 8:00 to 10:30 a.m. and then offer one club choice from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. with lunch served after the clubs. Students will be dismissed after lunch and buses will run at 12:15 p.m. There will be no afternoon classes. ARGH sign up will begin August 18. For questions concerning ARGH, call Director Kim Clark at 593-4731.

Kansas gas prices fall 2¢ per gallon The solution to last week’s puzzle is on Page 8B.
Average retail gasoline prices in Kansas have fallen 2.0 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.30 per gallon Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 1,329 gas outlets in Kansas. This compares with the national average that has fallen 1.5 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.49 per gallon, according to gasoline price Web site Gas Buddy.com. Including the change in gas prices in Kansas during the past week, prices Sunday were 26.2 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 21.1 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 16.4 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 12.3 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago. "Beginning the month with the lowest pump prices since 2010 is a nice way to start August, but it's unlikely that we'll see gasoline production from coast to coast running as high in August as we'd seen during
July," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Gregg Laskoski. "In recent years we've seen August refinery utilization slip a bit below July numbers and if that happens we may see prices increase especially in areas where consumers are flocking to enjoy the remainder of the summer driving season," he added. Submitted by GasBuddy.com.
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt asked a federal appeals court to block a final settlement agreement between EPA, eleven states, and private environmental organizations that is expected to increase to the cost of electricity for Kansas consumers Friday. “This is another example of a so-called ‘sue-and-settle’ arrangement where special interests are represented, federal regulators are represented, but Kansas consumers and citizens have no voice,” Schmidt said. “We’re working to give Kansans a meaningful voice in this process, and because we think the terms of this settlement and the resulting proposed regulations are contrary to federal law we are asking the appeals court to set it aside.” Schmidt and 11 other state attorneys general filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit asking the court to hold unlawful provisions of the settlement that purport to require EPA to proceed with regulating carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal-fired power plants under Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act. Schmidt said a 2011 decision of the U.S. Supreme Court held that EPA lacks authority to regulate existing power plants
under Section 111(d) and that doing so as the settlement requires would impose substantial new costs on existing Kansas power plants that would be passed along to Kansas ratepayers. “The timeframe contained in the proposed regulations is unrealistic and appears designed to result in the closure of certain electric generating units,” Schmidt said. “It takes years for utilities and energy providers to plan and develop substantial changes to electricity generation portfolios - and additional time to obtain necessary state agency approval of these plans. No legal settlement can change that reality, but this unrealistic settlement can certainly drive up costs for ratepayers.” Under the proposed regulations, states would be required to submit enforceable State Implementation Plans (SIPs) by June 2016, and the SIPs must demonstrate considerable carbon reductions by 2020. The case is The State of West Virginia, et al. v. United States Environmental Protection Agency, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Case No. 14-1146. Submitted by the Office of the Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt.
Beware of suspicious postcards State Treasurer Ron Estes warns Kansans of suspicious postcards labeled as an “Unclaimed Property Notification.” “These postcards should be ignored as they are not being sent from our Unclaimed Property Division or any other state agency,” said Ron Estes, Kansas State Treasurer. “I urge all Kansans who have received these postcards to avoid responding in any manner.” A series of postcards varying in color are instructing individuals to call a toll-free number and enter personal identification information. A recorded message then directs callers to search for unclaimed property at a Web site that is not the state treasurer’s official Web page. The postcards, which are postmarked from Denver, have led to consumer complaints received by the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (NAUPA) and unclaimed property adminis-
trators in multiple states. Estes reminds Kansans that the state will never request individuals to provide personal information to a call-in number or charge a fee to return unclaimed property - both common indicators of scams related to unclaimed property. “If you’re ever uncertain of any correspondence or phone calls regarding unclaimed property, please don’t hesitate to contact my office for verification or assistance,” said Estes. “We take great pride in the integrity of our program, and are dedicated to helping Kansans safeguard their personal information and hard earned money.” Kansans who believe they may have unclaimed property available to claim at the State Treasurer’s Office should search the state’s official Web site, www.kansascash.com, or call the Unclaimed Property Division at 1-800-432-0386 (toll free).

What’s “dog” got to do with it? Dog days of summer that is... People frequently refer to the month of August as "the dog days of summer." The dog days of summer get their name from the star Sirius, commonly known as the "Dog Star." In ancient times, when artificial lights did not obscure the stars, people looked to the sky as a source of inspiration and answers to questions they otherwise could not explain. Groupings of stars known as "constellations" were used to tell stories, and these stories were part of ancient folklore. One constellation prominent during the summer months is Canis Major, which includes a bright star named "Sirius." Ancient peoples surmised that this star's brightness warmed the Earth, not unlike the sun. In addition, Sirius rises and sets in conjunction with the sun in the summer. It was believed that Sirius added even more heat to the sun, creating the humid and especially hot days of summer. This time on the calendar was thusly named the dog days of summer. Thanks to scientific study and a better understanding of astronomy and weather, it is known that the dog days of summer do not owe their extreme warmth to Sirius. Rather, the heat is a direct result of the Earth's tilt on its axis during this time of the year. From Metro Editorial Services.
