EKAE thwarts takeover attempt, readies for restart

GARNETT - Investors of East Kansas Agri Energy turned back an attempted hostile take-over of the company’s board of directors at their recent

annual meeting and heard com-pany management announce a September 3 date that the shut-tered plant would begin taking corn shipments to once more start producing enthanol. The corn delivery date was the first official report to inves-tors regarding the reopen-ing of the plant, which board chairman Bill Pracht said would come some time later in September.

EKAE ended production of ethanol last fall after the hard-est of two back-to-back drought years that decimated the region’s corn crop. The compa-ny remained open although it laid off the majority of its pro-duction staff and other related positions and mothballed the production centers of its plant. Pracht said the remaining staff had used the year of down time to perform maintenance and

conduct a handful of upgrades. He said the plant would bring back 24 production employees when it reopened. But by far the biggest news of the gathering and the topic that brought a record crowd of some 300 members to the meet-ing was the turning back of what began as an effort by one of the board members to throw

The East Kansas Agri-Energy ethanol plant is expected to take its first official corn delivery on Sept. 3, marking the restart of the plant after it was shuttered last year because of a poor corn crop.

Commissioners decline to sue county attorney

GARNETT – County commis-sioners said yesterday they’d like to know who the mystery person is who conducted a secret ad campaign against the Anderson County Hospital bond issue last spring, but they’re not willing to try an unconven-tional lawsuit against their own county attorney to find out. Commissioners told Anderson County Review Publisher Dane Hicks, who last month requested the com-

mission sue county attorney Brandon Jones to disclose the person’s identity, they weren’t willing to go so far as to file the lawsuit because in effect they would be suing themselves. “I’d like to know who it was too,” said Second District Commissioner Jerry Howarter, “but I’m not in favor of suing ourselves.” County counselor James Campbell said there were any number of problems with the commission instigating a law-suit against the county attorney. He said the expectation of suc-cess in court would be low and filing the suit against one of its own county offices might also

County taxes up by 6 mills to pay for new hospital

GARNETT – Most Anderson County taxpayers will not be surprised to learn that their property taxes will increase by more than 6 mills in 2014. And most local taxpayers won’t be surprised to learn that their taxes increased in order to pay for a new $25 million hospital, approved by voters earlier this year. What may surprise tax-payers, however, is how closely Anderson County

Commissioners were able to stick to last year’s budget as a guideline when preparing the 2014 budget, despite increases in employee salaries and health insurance premiums. The county’s total tax rate for 2014 is 92.71 mills, up more than 6 mills from 2013’s rate of 88.558. That increase includes a mill levy of 6.053 for bonds and interest for the new hospi-tal. Without the hospital bonds, county commissioners raised taxes by 0.101 of a mill. In nearly every depart-ment, county commissioners increased budgets for person-nel expenses. But by holding the line on other expenses in

Bank robbery attempt likely to result in plea deal

KANSAS CITY, KAN. – Two men who were arrested after a shootout with law enforcement officers following a botched bank robbery attempt in Kincaid likely will reach some sort of plea bargain with the federal court.

Documents filed in federal court in Kansas City, Kan., show the case has been put on hold while prosecutors and attorneys for the defendants attempt to reach a plea agree-ment. The attorneys informed the court of their decision to plea the case late last month, and no further court hearings have yet been scheduled. Daniel Lee Waddell, 28, of LaRussell, Mo., and Stephen Michael Hudson, 32, of Webb City, Mo., are being held in fed-

eral custody in connection with the charges. Each is facing a federal charge of bank robbery, having been accused of trying to rob the Citizens National Bank March 6. Their efforts were thwarted by security mea-sures at the bank. It is not known what type of penalty the men could face from the plea bargain. A con-viction on a federal bank rob-bery charge could bring up to 20 years in a federal prison and up to $250,000 in fines.

Waddell and Hudson were arrested after a high-speed chase and shootout with law enforcement officers on K-7 Highway north of Mound City. One of the suspects was slightly injured by bullet fragments or glass, ending the shootout. The men were charged with attempting to break into the Citizens National Bank in Kincaid earlier that day. Someone saw a man shaking a

Local jobless rate increases

TOPEKA – After months of reports that showed more people in Anderson County were finding jobs, the county’s unemployment numbers took a dramatic jump in the other direction. Anderson County’s unem-ployment rate increased to 7.0 percent in July, up from 6.2 per-cent in June and one of the few times in the past couple of years that the jobless rate has increased. Overall, Anderson

County had 295 unemployed workers out of a labor force of 4,213. The rate was slightly higher than last year’s July unemployment rate of 6.9 per-cent. Other area counties saw unemployment numbers either decrease or posted very slight increases, so it was not known why Anderson County’s job-less rate rose so dramatically. However, seasonal employment was blamed for the increased unemployment rate statewide.“Over the past three months we have observed an increase in the seasonally adjusted unemploy-ment rate,” said Lana Gordon, Secretary of Labor. “Part of the

Database helps ‘trace’ stolen ag, construction equipment

GARNETT – Anderson County’s law enforcement agencies will have another tool to help local agriculture producers when an expensive piece of equipment

is stolen. The county recently agreed to participated in TRACE – Theft Reports of Agriculture and Construction Equipment. The program was developed by the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department and offers a free database to track stolen equip-ment. The theft of heavy farm and construction equipment like

tractors, backhoes and skid-loaders can be an expensive loss for owners and insurance companies, Anderson County Sheriff Vern Valentine said. Such equipment is a prime target for thieves, however, because of its high price tag and demand on the black mar-ket. Valentine gave an example of a hypothetical tractor worth $100,000 that is left overnight in

a field; a thief can load up the tractor, ship it across country or even overseas and sell it on the black market. Even if ship-ping costs on the hypothetical tractor were $20,000, the thief still makes a profit of $80,000. The TRACE database allows owners to quickly register their stolen equipment, which can

Free Dump Request Commissioner Johnson moved to approve a request from GAPP Committee to waive up to $600 in dump fees for the paint project. Commissioner Howarter seconded. Approved 3-0.

Budget Rodney Burns, Auditor, presented a draft budget for 2014. Discussion was held on the levy for the hospital and health insurance. With the current fig-ures the county levy would decrease by half a mill and the hospital bond levy would increase the total by five and a half mills. Commission will approve the publication next week after Rodney has time to double check the payment fig-ures on the old hospital refunding bond as part of the ambulance and facility was taken out of it and added to the new hospital bond.

Bond Payment David Arteberry with George K. Baum, James Campbell, County Counselor, Dena McDaniel, Treasurer, Rodney Burns, Auditor, and Molly Hoffman, Deputy Clerk, all met with the commis-sion concerning the payments on the new hospital bond. Rodney stated the county could set up another fund to monitor the payments from the hospital and the outgoing payments for the bond. James Campbell stated that the hospital would like the money put in a separate bank account. Discussion was held on setting up a MIP account and the pay-ments will be made electronically. Molly questioned that if these payments could be made electronically, why we couldn’t make all the other bond payments elec-tronically. She is currently writing checks for all payments and they have to be at the state treasurer twenty days before their due date. Electronically submitted payments are by three days before. David will get Rodney the breakdown of the bond schedules for the ambulance facility and the old hospital bond.

those departments and by shav-ing about $5,000 out of the zon-ing department, the county’s general fund was reduced by a total savings of about $6,159. That equals a tax rate reduc-tion of about 0.109 of a mill in the general fund. The general fund is one of the county’s larg-est expenses, and includes most departments and pays for the salaries of employees in those departments. The road and bridge depart-ment also takes up a significant part of the county’s budget, and it was increased by $68,000. The largest increase in the county’s budget was for employ-ee benefits. That fund was increased by $73,000, primarily because of increases in health insurance. For the most part, other county expenses like elections, the fair and extension council, mental health and other areas were relatively stable, although the budgets were up or down slightly.

The county’s total operating budget for 2014 was estimated to be about $11,362,626, up from $9,460,450 in 2013. Of that, about $7,105,761 is expected to be raised from property taxes. Voters approved building a new $25 million hospital to replace the aging 1949 facility in last April’s election. Critics at the time complained about the high tax burden and questioned if there was another option. But proponents argued the costs to repair the current facility would exceed the cost of building new and that St. Luke’s Health sys-tem, which operates the facility, would end up paying most of the construction costs through increased lease payments and other fees. Taxpayers can discuss the proposed budget at a public hearing at 10 a.m. Sept. 9 at the County Commission Room in the county annex building in downtown Garnett.

prompt the county’s liability insurer to cancel the county’s insurance coverage. Campbell said Hicks had other options to pursue the information, either through a private lawsuit or the attorney general’s office. Hicks read a portion of email correspondence from Melissa Wangeman, an attor-ney for the Kansas Association of Counties, whom Hicks said he had contacted regarding his proposal. A copy of the email was provided to the Review. “I would agree it’s probably legally allowable although a bit complicated,” Wangeman’s email read. “There may be a question of whether the BOCC (Board of County Commissioners) has ‘standing,’ what is their interest in seeing the record?”

“If I were advising the BOCC, and I am not- they have James Campbell for that,” Wangeman said, “I would recommend not suing myself.” Hicks’ request stemmed from an anonymous campaign mailer distributed in the days leading up to a public vote on a proposed $25 million new hos-pital question in April. State election laws require campaign materials and advertising be attributed to an individual as organization treasurer or other identifiable person. Automated “robo-calls” were also made on behalf of the those opposing the bond question which were also not attributed per state election law. Jones investigated a com-plaint about the issue and determined the identities of both an anonymous printing company which sent the mailer to a Johnson County printer/

mailer as well as an individual who paid the bill for the mailing. That person said yet another person actually gave them the money to conduct the mailing, but claimed he/she didn’t know anything was illegal about the enterprise. Jones told commissioners in June he determined the parties involved had no criminal intent and that he did not plan to file charges against them. Hicks told commissioners whether or not the offenses were prosecuted the individual involved still is required to file campaign documents with the county clerk’s office that detail the amount spent in political advocacy and the identity of the payer. “No one can make the coun-ty attorney file those charg-es,” Hicks said later Monday. “That’s completely in his venue. But that person is required to

file the same forms anyone else who donates money or pays on behalf of one side or the other of an election.” Hicks said he was required to declare a $1,000 in-kind adver-tising donation the Review made in support of the hospital bond issue and to file forms to that effect with the county clerk’s office. “If I have to file them and every one in every other election has to file them, why doesn’t this person have to file it?,” Hicks said. “The law requires you to be up front about who’s supporting your cause and the public has a right to that infor-mation. The county attorney is withholding that information from the public.”

out most of the present board of directors. Scott Brittenham was an EKAE board member who represented shares owned by Clean Energy Capital, an Arizona-based investment com-pany which holds some 25 per-cent of EKAE’s investor units. Brittenham sought in July to convince EKAE investors to vote to toss out most of his board colleagues and elect a slate of directors selected by him. The “Concerned Members

of East Kansas” contended through ads in area newspa-pers and mailings to investors that EKAE had been misman-aged by the present board and that other plants in the country were still operating and earn-ing money while EKAE was closed the past year. Board members countered that shut-ting down during the drought and preserving the company’s war chest of cash was the best course and allowed the com-pany to re-open without going into debt. Brittenham solicited investors to sign a petition call-ing for a special board meeting

of EKAE which was originally set for August 17. Negotiations between EKAE and Brittenham’s “Concerned Members” resulted in the post-ponement of the special meet-ing and the abandonment of Brittenham’s proposal for a new board slate, on the condi-tion that Brittenham be placed on the ballot to retain his board post and that another mem-ber of Clean Energy Capital, Jonathan Henness, be placed up for election to the board as well. In an address to member-ship at the meeting, Brittenham said his and Henness’ candida-

cies were intended to serve as a double-check on other possible actions of the board. EKAE members voted for board candidates in the com-pany’s proposed slate each by a 2-1 margin over Brittenham and Henness. Incumbent board members re-elected to their posts include Don Meats, Greg Foote, and Kevin Mobley. Charlie Hughes, a former area banker and presently a State Farm Insurance representative living in Overland Park, was elected to fill the vacant seat left by the death of Garnett’s Steve Doering.

Lawnmowers stolen from store

GARNETT - A bold early-morn-ing theft from a Garnett retailer has local police on the lookout for a lawnmower thief. Someone saw a white man loading three lawnmowers into a maroon van a little after 5 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 13, in the Alco parking lot in Garnett. The problem, however, was that the

man wasn’t a shopper. He was a thief, according to a report from Garnett Police Chief Kevin Pekarek. The three lawnmowers were offered for sale at Alco, but were stolen rather than sold. A witness saw a man loading the mowers into the van, but the man was not located. Police continue to search for the sus-pect and the investigation con-tinues.

door to the bank, and a gun was spotted. The man fled in a Dodge Durango, and a bank customer followed the Durango into the rural areas of the county. The customer pursued the suspect’s vehicle, relaying its position to law enforcement, until the men in the Durango fired weapons toward the pursuing customer. Waddell and Hudson were arrested and taken to Linn County. Federal court records from Kansas City, Kan., show the men remain in federal cus-tody but the records do not list their location.

help law enforcement officers as they hunt for the equipment. It also alerts law enforcement agencies as well as other pro-ducers in the area when a theft has occurred, so equipment

owners can be on the lookout for criminal activity in their communities. TRACE will send email alerts that describe the items taken and other pertinent information. The database also can help a farmer or construction man-ager who attempts to purchase

equipment from a private indi-vidual rather than a dealer. The database will show if the item’s serial number is listed as stolen. Valentine said he is glad to be part of the program. He said a tractor was stolen from Anderson County a few months

ago, and other agricultural equipment is reported stolen from time to time, although Anderson County has not seen as many of those types of inci-dents as other communities. To learn more about TRACE, go to www.jocosheriff.org or email trace @jocogov.org.

reason of increases in the pre-vious months was due to more individuals entering the labor force.” Three major industries reported statewide over-the-month job losses. Government lost 18,900 jobs, principally seasonal at the local level. Manufacturing, which had shown increases over the past several months, posted a decline in the last two months in sea-sonally adjusted jobs numbers. These numbers perhaps indi-cate a weakness in this sector. In July, Manufacturing lost 1,900 jobs and Education and Health Services lost 800 jobs. Statewide, the unemploy-ment rate was 5.9 percent, up from 5.8 percent in June 2013 and up from 5.8 percent in July 2012. In other area counties, unem-ployment rates are as follows: • Allen County: 6.8 percent in July; 6.5 percent in June; 7.1 percent in July 2012. • Coffey County: 6.7 in July;

6.1 in June; 6.9 in July 2012. • Franklin County: 7.1 in July; 7.4 in June; 8.3 in July 2012. • Linn County: 8.2 in July; 8.3 in June; 7.8 in July 2012. • Miami County: 5.6 in July; 5.6 in June; 6.3 in July 2012.

This is the week that...hold your breath...members of the Kansas Legislature start thinking in earnest about just how—or whether—to make political points during the special session of the Legislature that starts next week. Do they propose to amend that fix for the state’s Hard-50 murder sentence that the U.S. Supreme Court says is uncon-stitutional because it allows a judge, not the jury, to decide whether the standard 25-year sentence can be doubled to 50 due to aggravating circumstances in the com-mission of the crime? Do they let the Special Committee on Judiciary made up of House and Senate members put the microscope to Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s proposed fix for the problem, then quickly pass it and head home in maybe two, not the gover-nor’s suggestion of three days? Oh, there are political points to be made—or lost—here. Long speeches that all come down to “tough on crime,” proposed amendments that might eliminate the death penalty that hasn’t been used in 40 or more years, or maybe just sitting quietly and voting yes and heading for the door so they can campaign on “getting business done.” There are political points to be made starting about now (yes, the 2014 cam-paign season is under way)—bullet-points on those campaign palmcards that we’ll get at parades next year or maybe see carefully threaded between the screen and the door jamb. Meanwhile, as legislators are consid-

ering how to play this special session that starts the day after Labor Day...there’s State Treasurer Ron Estes, who won’t get even a mention because, well, he doesn’t send murderers to prison. So, with just a year before the next election, he’s come up with a low-key PR move of his own...a new, pretty interest-ing-looking blog for his office (http://kstreasurer.com/). Now, that’s a step or two down the political excitement scale, but remem-ber, state treasurers don’t get famous for doing their job nicely. They just make the headlines when something goes wrong. Anyone remember former State Treasurer, and later governor, Joan Finney, who had a $15,000 check blow away while it was being carried to her office? Well, since Estes now keeps state checks out of the wind, he works with what he’s got. A lot of information about money: The state’s and probably more politically important in an upcoming

campaign...ours. Interestingly, he’s promising a week-ly rundown of the top 10 unclaimed properties of each county—that money that most of us have forgotten or didn’t know we were given or eligible for. It will be one county a week, starting with Allen County, on the “Treasurer’s Top 10 Tuesdays.” Other days—“Money Matters Mondays,” “Back to the Future Wednesdays,” etc.—will look at debt management, higher education savings accounts and so forth. So far, on a poll on the blog asking Kansans which day’s information they are most anticipating, the Tuesday segment is winning. Now, we’re thinking, looking at the unclaimed property tips is a pretty good use of time by legislators who have time on their hands during the special session (and after the special session, when they ramp up scouring for votes)...looking to see whether they have constituents who have money coming to them. But, we’re also wondering if they find a constituent with money due them whether they are going to mention Estes’ name when they make that call from their House and Senate floor phones...

Get ready for the fun of a special session

A sidebar observation as lingering impacts of The Great Recession continue is that social safety nets of not just traditional Welfare but also of the success of the prior generation have formed an economic disincentive for job seek-ers. Consider these recent examples: • A representative for the regional Manpower office holds a job fair at the Garnett library in search of general laborers to staff jobs for multiple industries in Iola and Garnett. No one shows up dur-ing the entirety of the four-hour event. • An Osawatomie nursing home adver-tises various shifts for LPN staff, but complains that appli-cants just won’t apply in Miami, Anderson and surrounding com-muter counties. • Three applicants for open teaching positions in USD 365 turn down job offers in the district, telling interviewers they’d rath-er not work for now and hold out for something that might be better than to accept what USD 365 is paying. Though the reasons and the motivations may vary, it’s clear at least in these examples that even in a region with 6-8 percent lingering unemployment, there are apparently worse things to be feared among some workers than being out of work. The degree to which that hesitance to accept a job – one that may be below someone’s expectations – impacts other facets of the econ-omy and slows a possible economic rebound is a question that begs more debate. But the phenomena experienced in the microcosm of Eastern Kansas seems to illustrate data recent-ly compiled and released by the Libertarian Cato Institute. Cato studied Welfare programs in all 50 states and determined the current system pays such high benefits that the program actually competes with private sector employment. In Kansas, Welfare recipients receive benefits averaging $12.74 per hour – all not subject to income tax – and the standard benefit package is more than 85 percent of the state’s median salary of $30,836 per year. In 33 states, total welfare benefits annual-ized pay more than a minimim wage job, and in 13 states pay more than $15 per hour. In 39 states, increases in the Earned Income Tax Credit and the addition of the Child Tax Credit and state-level equivalents of EITC make it possible for a person leaving Welfare to take a job paying slightly less than Welfare without a real loss of income. Welfare pays more than the average pre-tax wage for a teacher in 11 states, and more than the starting wage for a secre-tary in 39 states. In the three most generous states (Hawaii, Vermont and Massachusetts) a Welfare recipient can take home more than an entry-level computer programmer. None of that is a judgmental indictment of Welfare recipients, but it does prove overall that in 42 states and the District of Columbia, Welfare benefits exceed the Federal Poverty Line. The disincentive for work created by those programs is ably apparent. So too is an intangible safety net provided by parents, relatives or other working spouses in the degree of support lent to those who may be unemployed but not applying for standard Welfare programs. The concept of the single 25 year-old still living at home with mom and dad while continuing an unsatisfying job search comes to mind, but nowadays it may extend to young married couples or entire families. That “benefit” is a testimony to stronger economies past, good stewardship by the older generation of their personal assets and their compassion and generosity. It is a phenomena not to be discounted, and no doubt serves to some degree as a disincentive to work. There are more values to a job than just its payroll – the development of discipline, learning teamwork and how to function within an organization, ancillary skills and the basic ethic of work and loyalty to an organization to name only a few – the loss of which may be the most long-term damaging effect to the individual who puts off going to work. As long as the tangible benefits of not working compete with those of having a job, we can’t blame some people for asking ‘why?’

Anyone who doubts that Hillary Clinton is already in fine fighting trim for a presidential run should consider her speech to the American Bar Association in San Francisco. She assailed an alleged “assault on vot-ing rights.” She took aim at the Supreme Court’s recent decision striking down a portion of the Voting Rights Act and excoriated states that have recently tight-ened their voting laws. She declared that “anyone who says that racial discrimination is no longer a problem in American elections must not be paying attention.” Madam Secretary hasn’t missed a beat. She knows that the calling card of Democrats in the Obama era is a polar-izing politics that seeks to fire up minor-ity voters by stirring fears of fire hoses and police dogs. Its basic vocabulary is imputations of racism; its evidentiary standard is low and dishonest; and its ethic is whatever works -- so long as it stirs fear and anger. The latest target is the state of North Carolina, which is accused of soiling itself with a new voter ID law, among other changes in its election laws. “The Decline of North Carolina,” harrumphs The New York Times. “North Carolina’s Attack on Voting Rights,” says The Daily Beast. North Carolina’s offense is joining the American mainstream. It is one of at least 30 states to adopt a voter ID law. Such laws enjoy broad public sup-port. A Washington Post poll last year showed 65 percent of blacks and 64 per-cent of Latinos supporting voter ID. It is such a common-sense idea that such

foreign redoubts of backwardness as Switzerland and Sweden require an ID to vote. The constitutionality of voter ID isn’t in doubt. The Supreme Court upheld Indiana’s voter ID law in 2008 in a 6-3 decision written by now-retired liberal Justice John Paul Stevens. The evi-dence suggests that voter ID laws don’t suppress the votes of anyone. Hans A. von Spakovsky, a voting expert at The Heritage Foundation, points out that major, dispassionate studies show no effect on turnout. Hillary and the left will have none of it, though. North Carolina, in par-ticular, is said to have exposed the nasty underlying agenda of voter ID. It is cutting back on early voting, from 17 days to 10 days. There it is -- that must be disenfranchisement! But the state wants to make up for the reduced days with more sites where voters can vote early and greater hours of opera-tion. (Despite the animadversions of The New York Times, New York doesn’t allow no-excuse early voting -- surely because it is so hostile to minorities.) It is ending same-day registration. Bingo! North Carolina hates black vot-ers. But the majority of states -- again, including New York -- don’t allow same-day registration. You can certainly argue that elec-tion laws like those adopted in North Carolina are unnecessary or impru-dent. You can’t argue that they are a de facto return to the era of the poll tax. But Hillary is undeterred. Evidently, she is fired up and ready to go.

Work or Welfare:Modern dilemma

I was just concerned about dogs being dumped in the country. At Tennessee and 1830 Roads I have seen dogs roam-ing that seem to be strayed or dumped. A little beagle dog, a black lab and possibly a German Shepherd mix- I’m just concerned about people dump-ing them in the country. They seem friendly and very hungry. I’m just concerned about it and I didn’t know what to do in a case like that. I was just wondering what the prob-lem is with the city? They can’t seem to mow the North Lake. The grass is several inches high and it looks awful. The South Lake has been mowed at least once since the North Lake but it still needs to be mowed also. Why do we have all the big mowers if we aren’t going to use them? We can’t expect people to use the parks if they aren’t kept up. Thank you. I have a question or an idea for some-body about the Lakes. Has anybody ever thought about having a big fish contest around here? What’s the record fish ever caught in Anderson County? Need to have a fishing con-test, open to adults too not just to the kids and see who’s got braggin rights to the biggest fish. I hear a lot of tall tales but I ain’t never seen no big fish from here. Thank you. I’m not sure whose supposed to be taking care of this but there are a lot of trees and bushes growing in people’s back yards that with all this rain and growing season have grown to the point that they’re growing out into the alleys behind the neighbor-hoods. Branches are growing out so far that they’re scraping on your car and banging on your radio antenna. If it’s the property owners that’s sup-posed to be doing this or the city I think somebody needs to get some pruners and spend an afternoon driv-ing the alleys in our fair city. Hmmm.... Get new boobs or make my house payment? Let’s see... Someone needs to keep the mowing up at the (deleted) church. Some nice per-son mowed part of it but there is still quite a bit to be mowed and it looks horrible. It is very tall and it does not look good at all.

Back to School: Reading, writing and... walking?TOPEKA – School supplies are bought and backpacks are ready. Parents have planned how their kids will get to school. But one thing parents might not think to do is talk to their chil-dren about walking there safely, par-ticularly their teenagers. Here’s why it’s important: teenagers are now the most at-risk youth for pedestrian inju-ries, according to a study by Safe Kids Worldwide and FedEx. The report “Walking Safely, A Report to the Nation”, released in 2012, revealed that while walking safe-ty has improved overall for children since 1995, there are still a staggering number of children hit by cars. More than 61 children are injured every day severely enough to seek medical atten-tion. More than 500 children are killed

every year in the U.S. Interestingly, the most at-risk age group has shifted since 1995 when 5-9 year olds sustained the most injuries, to today when teens are at greatest risk. The death rate among older teens is now twice that of younger children. In the last five years, injuries among 16-19 year olds increased 25 percent over the previous five years. Today, 14-19 year olds account for half of all child pedestrian injuries. “The work we have been doing with younger kids has clearly been effective,” said Cherie Sage, Safe Kids Kansas. “But this new trend impacting our teenagers is disturbing.” One suspected cause of this dis-turbing trend is distraction, since the increase in teen injuries seems to

correlate with the prevalence of cell phone use, both among walkers and drivers. A recent study issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), also finds an alarming trend in injury risk involving distracted walkers. “With approximately 75 percent of 12-17 year-olds owning cell phones, it’s important to talk to your children about putting phones away and paying attention when walking,” said Sage.

Safe Walking Tips Safe Kids Kansas recommends these safety guidelines: • Children should cross the street with an adult until age 10. • Choose the safest route and walk it with children. Look for the most direct route with the fewest street crossings.

Children should take the same route every day and avoid shortcuts. • Teach children to recognize and obey all traffic signals and markings. • Make sure children look in all directions before crossing the street. If a vehicle is approaching, wave and make eye contact with the driver before crossing the street. • Teach children to cross the street at a corner or crosswalk, never from between parked cars or from behind bushes or shrubs. • Warn children to be extra alert in bad weather. Visibility might be poor and motorists might not be able to see them or stop quickly. • Consider starting or participating in any existing Walking School Bus programs. Ask your school if they

have a program. For more informa-tion about how a Walking School Bus works, visit walkingschoolbus.org. • Talk to your teens about distrac-tions. Cell phone use, whether texting, talking, or listening to music with headphones, can distract a pedestrian from seeing or hearing oncoming vehi-cles. • Be a good role model. Children need you to not only tell them, but also show them how to be safe pedes-trians. To read the full report, visit www.safekids.org/walkingsafely.

Researcher says newer teachers most likely to be engaged at work LAWRENCE – Conventional wisdom says experienced teach-ers are often the best teachers, right? But KU researcher Shane Lopez says it might not be that simple. According to Lopez, K-12 teachers with less than one year of experience are the most engaged teachers at work, at 35.1 percent, based on survey data. Engagement falls precipi-tously to 30.9 percent for teach-ers with one to three years of experience, and it falls further to 27.9 percent for educators with three to five years of expe-rience. Engagement improves slightly for teachers with five to 10 years of experience (30.8 percent) and again for those teaching more than 10 years (31.8) but is still significantly

lower than the first-year rate. “For our nation, this means more than 2.5 million of our 3.7 million K-12 teachers are not bringing their best selves to work every day,” said Lopez, a psychologist and professor of the practice in the KU School of Business and senior scientist for Gallup. “For parents like me, it means that four of my son’s six teachers aren’t fully engaged.” Lopez’ findings are based on Gallup surveys of more than 7,265 American K-12 teachers, conducted in 2012. There’s some important con-text to these findings, Lopez explained. First, overall, teach-ers’ engagement ranks high compared with other occupa-tions. In fact, teachers rank No. 4 in engagement on a list of 12

different occupational catego-ries measured in the survey. Additionally, the pattern of teacher engagement dropping over time is not unique to the teaching profession. In fact, it exists in every non-teaching occupation group surveyed. But the size of the decline in engagement over time is great-er among teachers than in other occupation groups. This is partly because new teachers have higher levels of engage-ment than new workers in non-teaching jobs. But it also seems to be the result of some-thing specific to the teaching profession that causes teacher engagement rates to fall more dramatically than in other pro-fessions, Lopez said. “The data suggest that teach-ers rank high in engagement

among the 12 occupational groups because they are the most likely of all professions to say that at work, they have the opportunity to do what they do best every day and are more likely to strongly agree with the statement ‘there is some-one at work who encourages my development,’” Lopez said. “But despite having higher engagement than the national average, teachers are the least likely of all occupations to say, ‘at work my opinions seem to count.’ That latter statement could help explain the large decline in engagement over time.” The engagement findings are based on Americans’ assess-ments of workplace elements with proven linkages to per-formance outcomes, including

productivity, customer service, quality, retention, safety and profit. Gallup’s employee engage-ment index categorizes work-ers as engaged, not engaged or actively disengaged. Engaged workers are deeply involved in and enthusiastic about their work and actively contributing to their organization. Those who are not engaged are satis-fied with their workplaces but not emotionally connected to them – and these employees are less likely to put in discretion-ary effort. Those workers cat-egorized as actively disengaged are emotionally disconnected from their work and workplace, and they jeopardize the perfor-mance of their teams. So what are the implications of these findings? According to

Lopez, school leaders should make the most of the relatively higher engagement of today’s newest teachers and support these educators throughout their careers to maintain this engagement. School leaders can focus first on selecting tal-ented teachers and drastically improve the environment in which teachers and students work every day. “A key choice educational leaders make is who to put in the classroom, which is why hir-ing and engaging great teach-ers is a vital step to school suc-cess,” he said. “Engaged teach-ers not only challenge students to grow, they also encourage and engage their fellow teach-ers, building the foundation for great schools.”

Identify southern rust in corn to minimize yield, profit lossMANHATTAN -- Small, light brown, circular lesions cover-ing corn leaves this time of year are not a welcome sight. Southern corn rust, a fungal disease caused by the Puccinia polysora pathogen, begins to show up in Kansas around Aug. 1 each year, according to K-State Research and Extension plant pathologist Doug Jardine. Corn producers, particularly those who farm north of Interstate 70, should evaluate each field for the disease and determine if fungicide treatment is neces-sary and economical. Jardine identified south-ern corn rust in Kansas for the first time in 2013 on Aug. 1 in McPherson County. He said he has since seen it in other north-central Kansas counties including Riley, Clay, Cloud and Washington, but there may be more cases other crop scouts have identified elsewhere. The disease does not live year-round in Kansas, as it requires a live plant to sur-vive. It lives mainly in southern Texas and northern Mexico,

where temperatures allow corn to grow year-round, and it trav-els northward to the U.S. Corn Belt each summer. Because the disease is currently widespread in south central Nebraska, it would have had to blow over Kansas from those southern areas. The negative impact of southern corn rust depends heavily on a number of factors: • Weather forecast; • Stage of crop development; • Yield potential of the field; • Amount of disease in the field; and • Susceptibility of the hybrid. Southern rust is favored by hot, humid conditions, which Kansas experienced in early August. However, mid-August temperatures cooled, which Jardine said slowed the spread of southern rust. Although the recent weather has been a benefit to farmers, the stage of the corn might be a problem. “The problem this year is corn was planted two to three

weeks late,” Jardine said. “This is a problem across the entire Corn Belt.” If corn is hit with southern rust and has not yet passed the soft dough stage—35 days before maturity—it may be beneficial for farmers to spray fungicides. Products contain-ing a triazole mode of action are recommended. If the corn is already in the denting phase of maturity, Jardine said producers prob-ably won’t see an economic benefit to spraying, as the rust likely won’t affect the yield too much. He said much of south central Kansas has reached

that denting stage of develop-ment already and likely won’t need to be sprayed. Jardine said corn producers should evaluate each field sepa-rately. If southern rust has hit a field of younger corn and the corn has good yield potential, spraying could be economical. “There is some good corn this year, and some of it has 200 (bushel per acre) yield poten-tial,” Jardine said. “A field with a reasonable amount of rust could have 10 to 15 percent yield loss.” A 10 percent loss on a 200-bushel per acre yield is 20 bush-els. If corn is at $6 per bushel,

that could mean $120 loss per acre. Therefore, Jardine said, it would be economical to pay $30 per acre to spray that field. Jardine said the worst-case situation would be to see an epi-demic of southern rust early on that is not treated, and produc-ers could see as much as a 30 percent loss. With the current cooler-than-normal August temperatures, though, that is not a likely situation this year. Another tip for producers is to research how susceptible their corn hybrid might be to southern rust. Genetic resis-tance to southern rust is lim-ited, with most hybrids rating 5

to 7 on a scale of 1 to 9 (1 being resistant). In Kansas, greatest yield losses to southern rust occur when susceptible hybrids are planted late or when the disease arrives earlier than normal. The crop that is two to four weeks behind and is more susceptible to southern rust should be examined very closely. The K–State publication MF-3016, Corn Rust Identification and Management in Kansas has more information on southern rust, as well as common rust, and outlines the differences in identification and management of these two diseases.

Notice to settle Certain estate Bucks rewarded to drivers who buckle up Thousands of vehicles will be traveling the Kansas roadways during the Labor Day weekend. Many families will head out on one last camping trip or get-away as the school year begins. Safe Kids Kansas, State Farm and the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) want to encourage families to buckle up and drive safely to protect their most valuable asset, their fami-lies. This year, August 25 through September 7, a safety belt aware-ness campaign called “Bucks for Buckles” is being held in 37

cities across Kansas. One dollar bills are being distributed by local volunteers to drivers who have all occupants buckled up securely in their vehicle. Those riding unrestrained will receive educational materials about the effectiveness of seat belts and child safety seats in saving lives and reducing injuries. “No one can predict when they will be involved in a motor vehicle crash, yet almost all of us will be involved in an auto-mobile crash in our lifetime. In 2011, 382 people lost their lives on Kansas roadways and 50 per-

cent of them were unbuckled,” said Cherie Sage, State Director for Safe Kids Kansas. “The single most effective means of protecting the lives of you and your passengers is wearing seat belts and using appropriate child restraints every time you ride in the vehicle – even short distances.” According to the 2011 KDOT Safety Belt survey, only 83 per-cent of those surveyed ages 14 and older, were wearing their seat belt. This compares to the national average of 84 percent. In 2010, Kansas ranked 36 in the

nation in seat belt usage. “An average of 93 people die each day in motor vehicle crashes nationally; that’s an average of one death every 16 minutes,” stated Sage. “The lifesaving benefits of seat belts are real and increasing use can make a difference. It’s such a simple thing and only takes a few seconds to buckle up.” For more information about safety belt or child safety seat use, call 785-296-1223 or visit www.safekidskansas.org, www.safekids.org and www.facebook.com/safekidskansas.

Richmond Museum closes soon Labor Day weekend will be the final regu-lar open days of the Richmond Community Museum for this season although the Museum will always open on request. Open hours Saturday and Sunday are 1-4 p.m. with no admission charge. Museum visitors this summer have espe-cially enjoyed a display prepared and loaned by Marvin and Pat Gretencord of Olathe, one of toy tractors matched with names of farm-ers in the area who owned that same model real tractor. The baby cradle made by Chris Barhan in 1877 and used by five generations of the Barhan-McCall-Hadsall-Smith-Frank and Deter families is one of the new items this season. New archival materials are regularly added

to the numerous albums labeled Veterans, Weddings, Richmond Grade and High Schools, the Richmond Fair and several other topics, Dennis Peters, Museum vice-president said, as he encouraged visitors to come to the Museum this weekend or later. The Richmond Star quilt block on the outside of the building, part of the Franklin County Quilt Project, calls special attention to the building. The actual quilt made by Edith Hornberger in 2000 as part of a nation-wide project is displayed inside. For a time to visit after September 1st,, call Peters at (785) 835-6170 or Charles Prue at (785) 835-6583. The Museum is a great place for a class, club or family fieldtrip and visitors are encouraged to come through-out the year.

Card shower forformer coach A birthday card shower is sug-gested for a Richmond High School former teacher and coach who will be 97 on September 1st. Eugene E. Bump was hired by Principal French Booher in1946 and remained at Richmond for 10 years. RHS stu-dents made some great woodwork-ing pieces and had some champion-ship basketball and baseball teams in those years. Mr. Bump is widowed but his children, Barbara and Richard, and some grandchildren live not far from him. He enjoys hearing from his for-mer students. His address is Eugene E. Bump, 13890 E. Marina Dr., Apt. 209, Aurora, CO 80014.

NSA issues reminder on CRP weeds Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) participants are reminded that noxious weeds MUST be controlled on contract acres. Serecia Lespedeza and Johnson Grass are two common noxious weeds that cause compliance problems. Invasive trees on CRP, is another common com-pliance issue. This can result in a compliance violation if they exceed the height of the grass and exceed a 1% canopy of the area. Please remember it is your responsibility to periodically inspect your CRP acres to ensure you stay in compli-ance with the provisions of your contract. Random spot checks are conducted annually to ensure proper maintenance of CRP acres. You should not wait for FSA to identify prob-lems before you take necessary control measures. Compliance violations will result in CRP payment reductions or your contract can be terminated. If the violation warrants ter-mination, all payments must be refunded from the time the contract started, liquidated damage penalties are added, and interest is charged from the date in which the applica-ble CRP payment was issued. Contact the Anderson County FSA Office at 111 N. Maple, Garnett, KS or call 785-448-3128 for more informa-tion about CRP maintenance requirements.

ECKAN gets grant to improve nutrition, oral health for low-income individualsGARNETT - East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corporation (ECKAN) received Community Services Block Grant discretionary funds in the amount of $78,768, from the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation. The money will be used to provide low-income people throughout the ECKAN service area access to oral health care services as well as education to improve nutrition practices. Dental Clinics will be arranged to provide screenings. Clients will be referred from the clinics to surrounding provid-ers for treatment. Grant funds will be used to pay for treat-ment and mileage to access the services. Part of the funds will also be used to provide nutrition edu-cation in each of the counties

served. As part of the learning and evaluation process, partici-pants will be provided a $25 grocery voucher for attending nutrition classes and another $50 voucher if they choose to participate in a “follow up” activity to evaluate what indi-viduals have learned. In addi-tion, there will be “seed money” for community gardens. The ECKAN service area includes the counties of Anderson, Coffey, Douglas,

Franklin, Lyon, Miami, Morris, and Osage. People with an income of less than 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines are eligible for services is below.

Kansans focus on suicide awareness, preventionTOPEKA – Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services Shawn Sullivan and Kansas Department of Health and the Environment Dr. Robert Moser met Friday in Topeka’s Memorial Hall with suicide survivors and family members of victims from across the state to high-light the need for strengthening suicide prevention and awareness efforts across the State of Kansas. Earlier in the day Governor Sam Brownback signed a proc-lamation designating September 8-14 as Suicide Prevention Week in Kansas. They were joined by Chairman Wes Cole and members of the Governor’s Behavioral Health Services Planning Council and its Suicide Prevention Subcommittee, which is co-chaired by Bill Art from the Johnson County Mental Health Center and Marcia Epstein from Headquarters Counseling Center in Lawrence. Ms. Epstein is pro-gram director for Kansas Youth Suicide Prevention services across Kansas. Also present were Chaplain John Potter with the Kansas Army National Guard and representatives from the more than 10 grass-roots suicide-prevention organiza-tions operating in Kansas. “We are here to acknowledge the seri-ousness of this problem and to dem-onstrate our shared commitment to working in support of increased aware-

ness and prevention to reduce suicide – and one day eliminate it -- in Kansas,” Secretary Sullivan said. “Nearly 400 Kansans die by their own hand each year, leaving behind countless bereaved loved ones and friends.” Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in our country – and among young people between the ages of 15 to 24, it is the third leading cause of death. “The impact of suicide on survivors such as spouses, parents, children, fam-ily, friends, and co-workers is gravely significant, both immediately and over the long term,” Secretary Sullivan said. “But suicide is a public health issue, and it is largely preventable.” “Too many Kansans die by suicide each year – our sons, daughters, moms, dads, friends, people we used to sit next to at church, co-workers, people we saw around town. The impact of suicide is huge, confusing and painful. And although suicide is never someone else’s fault, those left behind often feel so guilty,” Ms. Epstein said. “Suicide prevention is truly every-one’s business. There is room at this table for all of us. Each of us can make a difference, through kind words and more. With awareness and effective tools, we will bring about a change,” she said. “I ask you to start with these

simple tools. One, ask the question, ‘Are you thinking about suicide?’ when you feel concerned about someone. Two, make the call. Free, caring, skilled sup-port and guidance is available by calling Headquarters Counseling Center at 785-841-2345 or through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255.” Over the years, Kansas has made progress in addressing suicide and has launched several initiatives, including: • Creation of the Kansas Youth Suicide Prevention Resource Center funded by the Garrett Lee Smith (GLS) Grant to Headquarters Counseling Center in Lawrence. • The Governor’s Annual Kansas Suicide Prevention Week Proclamation • Expansion of Suicide Prevention Coalitions in to seven urban, rural and frontier communities across the state, with five new coalitions forming. • Free, 24/7 suicide prevention hotline access to over 5,000 children, teens and adults in 2012. • Bereavement supports to survivors of suicide loss through Kansas Suicide Support Groups. • Expansion of Suicide Hotlines to two community mental health centers - Wyandot and Johnson County. • Increased availability and usage of suicide data from KDHE Vital Statistics

• Increased awareness of the link between problem gambling and suicide risk • Increased information shar-ing among stakeholders and other Governor’s Behavioral Health Services Planning Council subcommittees via e-mail on suicide prevention updates, resources, webinars, etc. • Understanding of the importance of trauma-informed care to reduce sui-cide risk. This means providing treat-ment that is based on each individual’s personal experiences, as well as their behavior. • A strong Kansas presence at nation-al, state and local conferences and work-shops on suicide prevention “A great deal of credit goes to the Governor’s Behavioral Health Services Planning Council and its Suicide Prevention Subcommittee, as well as all the hard-working community-based Suicide Prevention Coalitions in Kansas that championed many of these efforts at the state and local levels,” Secretary Sullivan said. “Through a coordinat-ed and comprehensive approach that includes, prevention, standardized screening, assessment, risk reduction, and evidence-based interventions we can continue to build on what we’ve accomplished so far.”

Shrum re-enlists with Kansas Air National Guard Devin Shrum has completed six hon-orable years of service with the Kansas Air National Guard taking him from the beaches of Mississippi to the Dunes of Qatar. Shrum embarked on his journey when he was a 17 year old high school student at Anderson County Senior High School. Leaving for basic training 12 days before his 18th birthday, he was the youngest one in his basic training group by a large margin. After finishing basic training at Lackland AFB, Shrum went to Shepperd AFB for Tech School. While attending Tech School he took on the role of an

Airman Leader. At 18 years old he was in charge of 300-400 Airmen in train-ing. After leaving Tech School Shrum was assigned to 190th Air Refueling Wing, 190th Medical Squadron, Forbes Field, Topeka, Kansas. After just a few months, he was chosen to transfer into the 117th Operations Squadron and be a member of their Squadron Medical Element. Shrum climbed the ranks to his current position of Staff Sergeant (E-5). Shrum has held various positions and titles including President of the Junior Enlisted, EMT Instructor, and a Self-Aid Buddy Care Instructor.

As seen in the picture, SSgt. Shrum has chosen to re-enlist for another term with the Kansas Air National Guard. Shrum plans to transfer into the 284th ASOS in Salina, Kansas and cross train into a TACP position. SSgt. Shrum is married to Sarah with two children, Braden and Brilee. They make their home in Garnett. He is the son of Pastor David and Goldana Shrum of McLouth, Kansas. He is the grandson of Leon and Lois Shrum, Garnett and Vera, and the late Theron (Spike), Phillips of Garnett.

September 2, 2003 It was a series of mechani-cal problems and the intense demand for electricity for air conditioners and cooling units that fried the city’s electric sys-tem during the Aug. 23 blackout, city manager Rick Doran said last week. Doran told a group of aggravated city residents and business people he planned to meet with city utility staff and other analysts to determine a way to minimize the chances of another power outage that blacked out most of the city in the midst of 100-plus degree tem-peratures. A new group has formed in Garnett as an outgrowth of the Walker Art Committee, which hopes to support fine arts pro-grams at Anderson County High School and help elevate those programs to the community. Garnett’s Friends of the Arts was formed at an ad hoc meeting of the Walker Art Committee about a year ago, but recently reformed its efforts with an aim of raising local awareness and support for music, drama, foren-sics and other fine arts. Local taxing districts will get a boost next year when the Taylor Forge manufacturing building south of Garnett comes back onto the tax rolls after 10 years under tax exemptions through Industrial Revenue Bonds. The move will place the facility back on city, county and school dis-trict tax rolls to the tune of a $245,260 appraised value.

September 2, 1993 After a busy month covering about 20 accidents, the Anderson County Sheriff’s Department reported on just one case involv-ing the theft of equipment this week. A rural man reported the loss of an 80 bushel cattle creep feeder from one of his pastures. The theft occurred from a pas-ture located two miles south and one-half mile east of Welda. Anderson County’s fourth cow mutilation since February was reported to the Anderson County Sheriff’s Department Wednesday. A cow had been found mutilated early Wednesday morning in Jackson Township. The cow had died earlier Tuesday, and the owner moved it to a location about 100

yards away from the home by a road to be transported away. Sometime between darkness Tuesday and the early morning hours of Wednesday, the cow’s sex organs were removed with a bladed instrument. The muti-lation of the animal follows a pattern established in three pre-vious cases of mutilation that occurred since February of this year. In the earlier cases, inves-tigators believe the perpetrators killed the animals before muti-lating them.

September 5, 1983 The soybean crop in Anderson County shows signs of a 40 per-cent loss, and milo that is mature is being harvested and has yields of 20 to 30 bushels per acre. The soybean crop loss comes on the heels of a corn crop that had a large percentage loss. The cul-prit, of course, is the weather. The drought has caused more severe damage in some areas than the drought of 1980, and the area has gone eight weeks without significant moisture. Two buildings in Garnett were entered by a person or per-sons sometime Thursday night or Friday morning, and some merchandise was reported sto-len from one of the buildings. Neal’s Pharmacy was entered by prying the front door, and watch-es, lighters and drugs were taken along with some change. A per-son or persons also entered the office of Dr. James Kokoruda, a dentist, but nothing was report-ed missing. It also was entered by prying the front door. A new site for the location of the Welda Post Office is being sought by the United States Postal Service. The preferred location is within a one-quarter mile radius of the present post-al facility, and should measure about 100 by 150 feet.

1993: Fourth cow mutilation reported

by Vickie MossStaff Writer

My hope for this week’s pic-ture is to show you what I want to relate to you. As most of you already know, I was assigned to the Metal Detector sur-vey team/crew at this year’s Kansas Archaeology Training Program Field School 2013. Our team was under the direct supervision of Nancy Arendt of Colby, Ks. Nancy is also the current President of the KAA ( Kansas Anthropological Association). This photo was taken of a

small triangle area we metal detected on the North edge of the Smokey Hill Trail. Every

flag you see, represents a metal target we had discovered during our survey. This sur-vey was conducted by using the ALL metal setting on our metal detectors. Only on one or two occasions did we use the discriminate mode settings. This picture was taken during a rest or lunch break. Notice the shovels and metal detecting equipment left in the field. We not only got to locate these metal targets, but we were able to excavate the arti-

facts themselves. All artifacts were left in place as found, and then Julie Stepnnick our Recorder would photograph, collect, bag and log each item. Approximately 98 percent of all targets recovered were from the 1800’s . This picture shows only one of the many sites we worked during this Field Training School. Note: See all the limestone fence posts in the background still being used today.

KHP participates in DUI crackdown, special traffic enforcement The Kansas Highway Patrol will be join-ing other local law enforcement agencies from across Kansas to work extra hours during the You Drink. You Drive. You Lose. Special Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP). The STEP campaign runs from August 15, through the Labor Day week-end, until September 2. The additional enforcement efforts are underwritten by a grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT). During STEP, there will be additional enforcement of all Kansas traffic laws, with particular focus on impaired driving laws. If you are involved in a crash in which alcohol is a contributing factor, according to KDOT, you are two-and-one-half (2 1⁄2) times more likely to be injured and four-and-one-

half (4 1⁄2) times more likely to be seriously injured or killed, than if you were in a crash in which alcohol was not a factor. The ratio of death to injury in alcohol-related crashes is almost four times higher than the death to injury ratio for non-alcohol related crashes. “The last thing we want to investigate on our highways is a fatality crash involving someone’s family member. We hope that everyone will remember to designate a sober driver, not just this weekend, but all of the time,” Colonel Ernest E. Garcia, superinten-dent of the Kansas Highway Patrol, said. “Troopers and other officers will be out in force over the next few weeks, and we hope this contributes to a safer time for all of those utilizing our Kansas roads.” Over the 2012 Labor Day holiday reporting

period for the Patrol (KHP stats only), troop-ers worked four fatal crashes on Kansas’ highways, resulting in four deaths. One of the fatal crashes was alcohol-related. There were four total impaired driving crashes worked by KHP. The Patrol arrested 39 peo-ple for impaired driving. Personnel also assisted 1,193 motorists who needed help on Kansas roads. The reporting period for the Labor Day 2012 weekend ran during a por-tion of the STEP period, and ran from 6:00 p.m. the Friday prior to the holiday, through midnight the Monday of the holiday. If you need assistance on a Kansas high-way, or if you suspect an impaired driver, the Patrol asks that you call *47 (*HP) for KHP dispatch, or *582 (*KTA) if you are on the Turnpike.

Weekly Devotionalby David Bilderback

In Luke 14 Jesus is eating at the house of a prominent Pharisee and he relates a par-able that illustrates the gra-cious invitation of God. A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell the guests that everything was ready. But they all began to make excuses. The first man had to go and see a field he had purchased. The second was on was on his way to pick up five yoke of oxen he had pur-chased and the third man had just gotten married. Evidently those invited accepted the original invi-tation. A second invitation when all was ready was cus-tomary. When the servant returned and reported to the master he became angry and said to the servant, “Go out quickly to the streets and the lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and crippled, blind and lame. And the servant said Sir, what you have com-manded has been done and still there is room.” The mas-ter then instructed the ser-vant to go out to the highways and hedges and compel peo-ple to come in that his house could be filled. The master then said “none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.” Jesus told this parable to illustrate to the Pharisees their transparency and dis-honesty. The parable illus-trates how man puts material things, business and occu-pation and family ties and

social relationships ahead of God. The Pharisees had the appearance of godliness but denied its power. Jesus always related his parables in the hearing of both the reli-gious establishment and to those the religious establish-ment felt were unworthy. The poor and crippled, blind and lame. Yet it was this group of people that Jesus was able to reach. They were given ears to hear. The Pharisees were unwilling to admit their need of anything besides reli-gion. They were at ease in Zion. They had control and power and when Jesus made statements like the last shall be first and the first shall be last in his Kingdom they felt threatened and this put them at odds with Jesus. Jesus concludes in this parable to the elite of Israel, who reject the Messiah, that they will not be given a sec-ond chance. Each of us must decide our level of service and commitment to God’s Kingdom. However keep in mind there is a different reck-oning in heaven than here on earth. David Bilderback: A Ministry on the Holiness of God.

The AndersonCounty Review785-448-3121

Controlling volunteer wheat an important step in protecting cropMANHATTAN – The recent wet weather through much of Kansas has caused volunteer wheat to emerge and grow rap-idly, said Jim Shroyer, K-State Research and Extension crop production specialist. Wet soil conditions may keep producers out of the fields for an extended period, or result in multiple flushes emerging, making it even more difficult than usual to control the volunteer. To protect the state’s planted wheat crop, volunteer wheat must be controlled, Shroyer said. “Volunteer wheat within a half-mile of a field that will be planted to wheat should be completely dead at least two weeks before wheat planting,” he said. Volunteer wheat that emerg-es during the summer and is still present when planted wheat emerges creates numer-ous problems for the crop. Shroyer and K-State Research and Extension entomologist, Jeff Whitworth, reviewed some of the most serious potential problems. • Wheat streak mosaic and associated viruses - The most important threat from volun-teer wheat is the wheat streak mosaic virus complex, which is carried by the wheat curl mite. In most cases, infection can be traced to a nearby field of volunteer wheat, although there are other hosts, such as

corn, millet, and many annual grasses, such as yellow foxtail and prairie cupgrass. Control of volunteer is the main defense against the wheat streak mosaic virus complex. Hessian fly - Hessian flies survive over the summer on wheat stubble. When the adults emerge, they can infest any volunteer wheat that may be present, which will keep the Hessian fly population alive and going through the upcom-ing crop season. Barley yellow dwarf - Volunteer wheat is a host of barley yellow dwarf virus, and the greenbugs and bird cherry oat aphids which carry it. In that respect, destroying volun-teer helps reduce the reservoir for the barley yellow dwarf viruses. The aphids have to pick up the BYD virus from an infected host plant first in order to become a carrier that can transmit the disease to wheat. Russian wheat aphid - This aphid can also infest volunteer wheat during the summer and move onto planted wheat in the fall. Another reason to control volunteer is that volunteer and other weeds use up large amounts of soil moisture, Shroyer said. When water stor-age is important, such as in summer fallow, volunteer must be destroyed. For those reasons and more, all volunteer wheat should be

completely killed within a half-mile of wheat fields at least two weeks before planting, Whitworth said. “It is important to wait two weeks after the volunteer has died before planting wheat. This will allow enough time for any insects or mites present on the volunteer wheat to leave the area or die before the new wheat emerges,” the K-State entomologist said. Destroying volunteer after the new wheat emerges is too late, he added. Producers should leave enough time to have a second chance if control is incomplete. Where there is a heavy stand of volunteer, some producers may be tempted to leave it and graze it out or even harvest the grain next summer rather than kill it out and plant a new crop this fall. That’s not a good idea, Shroyer said. “The best option is to control the volunteer, then plant a new crop of wheat two weeks later rather than leave the volunteer for grazing or harvest,” he said. “This will protect you planted wheat and help your neigh-bors by reducing the chances of wheat streak mosaic, barley yellow dwarf, Hessian fly, or Russian wheat aphid.” For more information, see K-State publication MF-1004, Be a Good Neighbor: Control Your Volunteer at a local Extension office.
