A mechanical failure at the Goodland power plant resulted in a four-hour blackout for parts of the city Tuesday night, along with several subsequent blackouts on Wednesday.

A press release issued by Sherman County Public Information Officer Donna Terry said the power plant had a catastrophic failure on one of its switch gears Tuesday evening. The outage involved mostly residential power.

The release said power went out about 5:10 p.m. for a as-yet undetermined reason and that “during the process of restoring the power the switch gear failed and was destroyed from a

flash arc.” A flash arc is where electric current travels through the air from one conductor to another. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, these arcs can be violent and dangerous.

The results of the failure disabled all of the circuits feeding out of the structure and caused a lengthy outage. The City of Goodland Elec-tric Department worked throughout the night to restore the power to an acceptable level.

The release said power was originally re-stored by tying circuits together and placing the entire load on functioning circuits. This

was a stop-gap effort to restore power to all services Tuesday night. The existing switch-ing equipment was cleaned and restored by early morning and the process began to place circuits back to their correct point. This also caused brief outages Wednesday morning. Four of the six circuits were restored to their original state but two had to be left being fed by other circuits due to equipment failures.

The release said electric department per-sonnel are confident the circuits will handle the load, but they ask that Goodland residents limit their usage of electricity from 1 to 8 p.m.

to keep from overloading any circuit and caus-ing additional outages. They ask that residents complete all electrical tasks such as drying of clothes and running of appliances be done outside of this time period and to adjust air conditioning up a few degrees.

The City of Goodland is in the process of installing a new substation that it says will eliminate all of these issues, but the station will not be complete for another 6 to 8 weeks.

Goodland residents asked to conserve power between 1 and 8 p.m.

Accidents along Interstate 70 this week took the life of a Louisiana woman who fell asleep at the wheel, and sent a local woman to the hospi-tal after she hit a deer.

At 9:32 Monday night, the Kan-sas Highway Patrol said, Elizabeth Stoll, 65, Oakley, was headed west on the highway when she hit a deer. The animal jumped out in front of the 1999 Lincoln she was in four miles west of Grainfield. Stoll, who was wearing a seatbelt, was taken to the Logan County Hospital after hitting the animal.

Early Tuesday morning, the Pa-trol said, Michelle M. Grabert, 52, Ponchatoula, La., died after falling asleep near Goodland. Grabert was seven miles west of Goodland at 4:45a.m., officers, said, when the 2005 Kia Sorento she was in drifted into the median. She woke up and

Despite the power outage, staff and volunteers at the Sherman County Courthouse were eventu-ally able to tabulate the ballots on Tuesday, and Goodland resident Rick Billinger will once again be representing northwest Kansas in the state House of Representatives.

Billinger, who served one term as representative before the 2012 redistricting, captured 2,191 votes – 60 percent – beating Adam Smith of Wallace County, who got 1,445 votes – 40 percent. No Democrats filed for the seat, which was left vacant by the retirement of Ward Cassidy, making Billinger the de facto winner in the General Election in November.

Billinger carried his home coun-ty with 74 percent of the vote to Smith’s 26 percent. 868 Sherman County Republicans voted. He also won Cheyenne, Rawlins and Decatur counties.

Smith won his home county 241 votes to Billinger’s 97. He also won the portion of Thomas County that lies in the 120th District – 471 votes to 443.

Two Kansas primary races were getting plenty of national coverage. In the race to be the Republican nominee for the senate, Tea Party fa-vorite Milton Wolf was challenging incumbent Pat Roberts, the senior senator from Kansas.

Roberts won with 48 percent of the vote – 125,306 votes – and Wolf came second with 41 percent – 106,128 votes. D.J. Smith took six percent of the vote, while Alvin Zahnter got five percent.

A SurveyUSA poll conducted in mid-July put Roberts ahead of Wolf 50 to 30 percent, but the race grew closer in the final weeks before the election. The poll predicts a more difficult time for Roberts in the General Election, showing him winning by just five percent over a

Evelyn Bessie KlingEvelyn Bessie Kling, 104, long-

time Goodland resident, died Mon-day, Aug. 4, 2014, at Good Samari-tan Society—Sherman County.

She was born on June 22, 1910, to Bessie (Bene-da) and Ernest Kolsky in Oberlin. She attended country school at Mound School.

On Oct. 6, 1926, she and John Robert Kling were married at Burlington and they made their home in Goodland.

Preceding her in death were her husband, daughter Lorena Ander-son, son Paul Kling, son-in-law Lowell Harding and daughter-in-law Juanita Kling.

Survivors include a daughter Alberta Harding of Goodland, six grandchildren, 13 great-grandchil-

dren and six great-great-grandchildren.

Graveside service will be at 10 a.m. on Wednes-day, Aug. 6, 2014, at the Goodland Cemetery with the Rev. Carol Edling Jol-ly officiating. Burial will follow.

Visitation will be one hour prior to the service on Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2014,

at Koons Chapel, 211 N. Main, Goodland.

Memorials to Good Samaritan Society—Sherman County may be sent to the funeral home.

Back-to-school expenses managable

According to the National Retail Federation the average cost for back-to-school spending this year is projected at nearly $670 per family with children in grades kindergar-ten through 12, which means U.S. families will spend a total of $26.5 billion for kindergarten through 12 children. With college-aged kids added in the mix, that number is ex-pected to soar to nearly $75 billion.

The greatest cost for back-to-school shoppers is clothing and accessories, followed by electron-ics—costs that tend to dip into one’s wallet all at once. However, Kansas State Research and Extension fam-ily resource management specialist Elizabeth Kiss said it pays to spread out the back-to-school buying process.

Budgeting back-to-school ex-penses includes activities, paper and supplies, in addition to the clothing, she said. Even if an item is not part of the budget at the moment, it might be in the future. Determine what you realistically have to spend right now and in the next couple of months.

Prioritize your purchases, Kiss said, determine what items are at the top of your school supplies list and begin checking prices. Basic supplies typically come first, and clothing can often wait.

“You may not need to buy school clothes,” Kiss said. “You can prob-ably get by with spring and summer things before you need to head into winter clothing. That means you have an opportunity to plan ahead, watch the sales, and look for cou-pons and other bargains.”

Taking inventory of the previous year’s existing supplies and cloth-ing is a good place to start, she said. Make a list of items that are needed, and fill in with new purchases. Also, beware of bargains.

“Kids grow, and if you buy it now, by January it might not fit,” Kiss said. “It’s not a bargain unless you have a younger child who might grow to fit it.”

With clothing purchases, shop-pers can plan ahead, she said. Don’t buy it until you need it, and plan your buying around sales. Some regular sales to consider are Co-lumbus Day sales, Thanksgiving and end-of-the-year holiday sales, Presidents’ Day sales and spring

season sales. It pays to browse sales before doing any shopping to get an idea of what’s out there.

Plan ahead for shopping tripsIf local shopping is limited, buy-

ers often plan to make a day of back-to-school shopping, including a drive of several miles, Kiss said.

“If you’re going to take children, plan ahead for their needs,” Kiss said. “Don’t try to power through it. Plan to take breaks. Bring snacks. Drink enough water. Your group will be less frustrated if you ac-knowledge that.”

She said it’s a good idea to talk with your junior high- and high school-aged children about spend-ing expectations.

“Always let them know what you’re willing to do and what you expect them to do, or if there’s some give and take where that might oc-cur,” Kiss said. “You provide the basics, and if they want something beyond that they need to either work or save up gift money.”

Determining the difference be-tween want and need is a large factor in back-to-school shopping, she said. Wanting athletic shoes and needing soccer or football cleats, for example, are different situations.

“We all want our children to make a good impression,” Kiss said. “We all want them to have what they feel like they need and maybe what they want.”

However, she said, if the cash isn’t on hand, consider telling your child what you can spend now and think about what you will have in the future rather than charging it to a credit card.

Spreading out back-to-school purchases can be a sensible ap-proach, and it can take some of the pressure off parents and students. Consider giving some clothing items as holiday gifts, and think about shopping garage sales and local resale shops.

“It’s really a matter of setting your own limits and doing the best you can to stick to what’s reasonable and realistic,” Kiss said.

Chance for a horse rideSeptember field day to be in Colby

We’ve come a long way since it took 40 to 50 hours of labor to produce 100 bushels of wheat. To celebrate its role in 100 years of agricultural research and outreach, Kansas State University’s North-west Research-Extension Center in Colby will host a special field day and meal on Thursday, Sept. 4.

The public is invited to both events. Presentations at the field day will include a historical perspective, but also focus on current topics and those on the horizon. Registration for the field day, to be held at the center, 105 Experiment Farm Road, begins at 1 p.m. (Mountain Time), with field tours running from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. (Mountain Time).

Field day topics and K-State pre-senters include:

Water Use and Productivity of Dryland Corn and Grain Sorghum – Rob Aiken, research crops scientist;

Water Use of Corn – A Historical and Current Perspective – Fred-die Lamm – research agricultural engineer;

Crop Weed Management Then and Now – Phil Stahlman, research weed scientist;

Ogallala Aquifer Declines at the Kansas State Northwest Research-Extension Center and Monitoring Declines Going Forward – Dan Rogers, extension irrigation engi-neer and state leader;

Grain Market and Crop Profit-ability Prospects for 2014-2015 – Dan O’Brien, extension agricultural economist.

A free meal begins at 4:30 p.m. (Mountain Time) followed by a program from 5:30 to 7 p.m. (Moun-tain Time) in the Cooper Barn at the Prairie Museum of Art and History, 1905 S. Franklin in Colby. Prereg-istration for the evening program is required by calling (785) 462-6281 or online at www.northwest.ksu.edu to ensure enough food is available. Presentations and speakers include:

The First Century: The Legacy of the Northwest Research-Extension Center – Bob Gillen, head of Kansas State’s Western Kansas Agricultural Research Centers;

A Century of Climate Variability in Northwest Kansas – John Har-rington, Kansas State Department of Geography; and

Grand Challenges for the Next Century – John Floros, dean of Kansas State’s College of Agricul-ture and director of Kansas State Research and Extension.

More information is available by calling (785) 462-6281, www.northwest.ksu.edu or v brown@ksu.edu.

Oh, and that 40 to 50 labor hours to produce 100 bushels of wheat 100 or so years ago? By 1997 it was down to three labor hours in combination with a tractor and other equipment not yet invented 100 years ago, according to Ag in the Classroom’s Growing a Nation: The Story of American Agricul-ture https://www.agclassroom.org/gan/timeline/farm_tech.htm.

State regulation is best wayI have been Insurance Commis-

sioner in Kansas for almost 12 years, and during much of that time some people have proposed that the fed-eral government regulate insurance.

Representing state commission-ers, I have testified before congres-sional committees on insurance is-sues, and Kansas Insurance Depart-ment 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 be-lieve state insurance regulation has worked well and keeps getting better. I also believe that however well-meaning 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 Reces-sion produced several large fed-eral 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. The as-sociation sponsors an open process to discuss key issues. Financial reporting, rate and form filing, and licensing are all addressed through this process.

The association also provides funding for outside consumer rep-resentatives to provide their view-points. This process allows states to develop best practices for local regulation. These practices in turn work to balance the needs of con-sumers, companies, and regulators.

State regulation strikes a balance between two important objectives. The first is finding some consis-tency of requirements across states. This goal is especially important to financial matters, such as making sure companies have enough re-serves to handle claims and operat-ing 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 de-partment’s Consumer Assistance Hotline (800) 432-2484.

Effective insurance regulation must con-stantly adapt, because

economic conditions change over time. And because 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 the department, we emphasize the idea “Do the right thing.” We honestly strive for that ideal. Do-ing the right thing usually means applying principles to individual situations. It means having flexibil-ity and using judgment and, in our case, good Kansas common sense.

We currently have a good balance in state insurance regulation. We have the benefit of a local view of issues, and we have the state depart-ment 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.

Freddie R. Lamm, P.E., is the re-cipient of the 2014 Netafim Award for Advancement in Microirriga-tion in recognition of his extensive record of influential research and education on subsurface drip ir-rigation and for his support of the microirrigation community of scientists.

It was in 1989 Lamm proposed to investigate the adoption of drip technology, which had been shown to reduce water use and improve or maintain crop yield and quality. His investigations resulted in the establishment of the first research plots at the Northwest Research and Extension Center, in Colby. This re-search exemplified his tremendous developmental efforts in designing experimental procedures and proto-col to accomplish its three-fold fo-cus to enhance water conservation, protect water quality and develop the appropriate subsurface drip ir-rigation technologies for the region.

Professor and research irrigation engineer at Kansas State University, Lamm specializes in water manage-ment for grain and oilseed crops and in the design and management for irrigation systems. His research on subsurface drip irrigation has greatly influenced field productiv-ity in the Midwest and other areas of the world.

More than 25 years ago, Lamm began to lead efforts at Kansas State University in broadening the adap-tation and adoption of subsurface drip irrigation technology for field crop production in the U.S. Great Plains region and beyond. By the late 1960s, the Ogallala aquifer of western Kansas was declining; however, years would pass before development constraints were in-stituted toward improving irrigation efficiency and water productivity to sustain the Ogallala.

Lamm has been dedicated to providing the technology to ir-rigation producers and irrigation professionals. His early extension activities included county and state meetings, making presentations and creating educational materials to help producers make informed investments. Lamm is a loyal par-ticipant and presenter at the annual

three-state Central Plains Irrigation Conference with sessions focused on subsurface drip irrigation. He has also been a co–principal investiga-tor for multistate subsurface drip ir-rigation field day programs and site tours, as well as an active Irrigation Association participant.

Lamm has authored or coau-thored more than 315 refereed journal articles, national and in-ternational conference proceeding papers, and technical and trade publications. His research and technology-transfer efforts have extended to inter- national presen-tations and consultations in Israel, South Africa, Spain, China and Kazakhstan.

A 35-year member of American Society of Agricultural and Biologi-cal Engineers, Lamm has contrib-uted leadership to soil and water division microirrigation, sprinkler irrigation, irrigation, and paper award committees. He was proceed-ings chair of the Fifth International Microirrigation Congress, and has served as chair of the Kansas sec-tion. He is currently associate editor for the southwest division. Lamm was named Irrigation Association Person of the Year in 2012, and his society recognitions include a paper award and an Educational Aids Blue Ribbon award. He has also been named Kansas section Engineer of the Year and Young Engineer of the Year. Lamm is a member of several other irrigation, soil science, and agronomy societies.

There’s still time to fill out a ballot for the Readers Choice Awards

What a week!Even though I’ve been back home for four

or five days now, I’m still trying to process everything from my trip.

It did not have an auspicious beginning. I awoke Wednesday morning to rain. Figures, on the day I have to make a cross country trip we finally get some sustained rainfall. Around here it wasn’t heavy, but the moisture in the air made for some foggy low spots along I-70, and it turned into a downpour near the airport.

I made it safely, however, and then my flight was delayed. Not by the rain, as you might ex-pect, but when we were all settled in our seats it was discovered that no one had unloaded the previous flight’s luggage. It took about an hour to round up a crew, unload the plane and then load it again with our luggage. The gentleman next to me was rather agitated, I think he must have had a connecting flight to make.

When I landed, several of my friends were waiting for me. They had come in on earlier flights, but had stuck around to meet the rest of us before going to the hotel. We all came in to one terminal, except one guy, and we had a heck of a time finding him. It didn’t help that none of us had ever met in person before and only a few had ever shown pictures of themselves.

Eventually we all connected and made it to the Rio, where things began to go more smoothly. We checked into the hotel and then went down to the convention area to do early check in there. Amazingly, even though the convention hadn’t officially started, there were already people in Star Trek costumes roaming around the hotel. This was my first taste of what it would be like the next few days. Already, I was amazed. After all, people dressed up in Starfleet uniforms is not something you see in everyday life.

This didn’t really prepare me for the actual convention days, as it turned out. By the time Saturday rolled around I had seen all manner of costumes from homemade alien makeup to near-professional work. There were throngs of

people and those who were not in costume, like me, had on Star Trek t-shirts of one sort or an-other. It was certainly a unique experience for me to be around that many people who share an interest and a passion for the same things I do.

Much of the point of a convention like this, however, is to see some of the people who worked on the shows, and see them we did. Each day was filled to the brim with panels, in which actors, writers, producers and makeup artists up on stage talking and answering questions. Beyond that there were panels on everything from fan costume design to real spaceflight operations. You could also get your picture taken with the actors or get their autographs, or both.

One of my favorite parts of the convention were the actors who had booths set up in the vendors room. They would stay there for hours signing autographs, and because there was usually no line, you could actually have a conversation with them. I talked to several guest stars who had played admirals on the show. One, Barry Jenner, asked me where I was from and when I said “Kansas,” he got very excited and said he has family in Wichita. I had to tell him I live about as far from Wichita as it is possible to live and still be in Kansas.

The vendors room itself was impressive. You could buy everything from costumes and t-shirts to models and paintings. I tried not to go overboard, but I did get a couple t-shirts and a hooded sweatshirt made to look like a Starfleet uniform. Obviously you won’t see me wearing that for a few months at least.

If I had to pick one thing as the best part of the experience, it would be the people. Everyone

I met at the convention was incredibly nice. You could start a conversation with just about anyone, because even the most shy among them was there for the same reason you were, and you knew that you shared a lot in common. I’m one of those shy people, believe it or not, but I was able to break out of that and met some great people.

It also helped that I was there with people I already knew. When you make friends over the internet, you wonder, “will I really like these people if I meet them in person?” It’s true, some people act different online than they do in real life, but fortunately my group of friends was not like that. Within minutes we were talking and joking as if it was the most natural thing in the world, and it turned out they are as great a group of people in real life as they are online.

The only really bad part of the convention is the physical and emotional let-down that oc-curs after you leave. The physical part is mostly due to the fact that you’ve been on the go for days on end and then it all comes to a halt. I was dead tired for two or three days after getting home. The emotional part is mostly wanting to be back there. For a lifelong Star Trek fan, there’s almost no better place in the world.

I plan to go back in 2016. It will be the 50th anniversary of the first episode of Star Trek, and it seems like the perfect time to return to the convention. It will be a long two years, but it certainly gives me something to look forward to.

from our viewpoint...

Put a stopto attack ads

Opposition to program explained

Used to be postcards were something friends and relatives sent you from Yellowstone National Park or Alaska or Paris. We still get a few of those.

Now, however, it’s election season, and our mailboxes are full of expensive, oversize color postcards attacking or praising candidates. Some of these come from the candidates themselves and some from unknown “political action committees,” a few apparently invented just to obscure their origins and support.

These “PACs” sometimes praise a candidate, but more often put out vicious attacks on a candidate. It’s not just a disgusting way to campaign, but often quite dishonest because of the way these committees can hide their true purpose.

Apparently, it’s no longer enough to campaign by saying what you intend to do in office, or even by comparing your positions to your opponent’s. Attacks, half truths, deception and lies are the order of the day.

Kansas voters should be disgusted when they get these post-cards.

A couple of shadowy groups played this game in our area, the Now or Never PAC, based in North Carolina, which attacked Rep. Tim Huelskamp of the Kansas 1st District in a $230,000 flurry of ads, and something called the Kansas Values Institute, which targeted former state Rep. Rick Billinger in his race for the 120th District seat in the Kansas House.

An anti-Billinger card portrays a little girl with a quizzical expression who proclaims, “Rick Billinger’s votes against our schools are SHOCKING!”

“Tell Rick Billinger to change course,” the back side proclaims. “His priorities are wrong for northwest Kansas.”

What this group knows about northwest Kansas isn’t clear, and its description of “Kansas values” is sketchy, but a quick review of its website shows its main agenda is to undercut Gov. Sam Brownback and his allies. It’s full of articles critical of the governor.

Another card endorses Mr. Billinger’s opponent, Adam Smith of Weskan, with the theme “Get Kansas back to the basics.” It also endorses Attorney General Derek Schmidt and State Treasurer Ron Estes for re-election, but both are unopposed in the primary and face only token opposition from a Democrat.

To top it all off, the state Republican party charges that the “in-stitute” is run by Dan Watkins, identified as a longtime Democrat activist and senior adviser for the Obama campaign in Kansas. In effect, it’s a group of Democrats seeking to elect more liberal candidates to advance the party’s agenda and the Paul Davis campaign for governor.

Mr. Estes has disavowed any connection with the group, which apparently targeted many legislative races across the state.

The anti-Huelskamp card targets Mr. Huelskamp’s ejection from the House Agriculture Committee after his fights with Speaker of the House John Boehner of Ohio. One side shows a “Kansas farmer” with duct tape across his mouth. The group claims to be “conservative” and Republican, but is spending big bucks to oust the ultraconservative Kansas congressman.

Pick which ever candidate you want, spend all the money you want, but all of us should rise up and put a stop to this kind of scurrilous campaigning. This just isn’t what democracy is about. – Steve Haynes

To the Editor:Why doesn’t Sherman County support the

State program called the Rural Opportunity Zone (ROZ)? The answer lies in looking a little deeper than the title of this ill-conceived program.

The program was designed to lure recently graduated college educated folks to Western Kansas. That is certainly a noble goal but, as is often the case with innocent, wonderful sounding government programs, the devil is in the details.

As your Sherman County Commission researched this program we discovered sev-eral very troubling facets. We first noted that the program is essentially a wealth transfer program. Local government is expected to tax citizens to pay others’ student debt. This would supposedly lift the entire economy in a way that all the citizens would benefit. Let’s see how it worked in reality…

Sherman County sponsored one individual back in 2011. The individual was already working in the county and had negotiated a higher wage than the employer offered to help the new hire pay the large student loan debt he had incurred. Both sides agreed to these terms so it can be rightly assumed that both parties were pleased. Up to this point, this is a classic example of how the free market works. The education expense would be expressed in the cost of the good or service this new hire would produce.

Thereafter, the new hire applied for and re-ceived acceptance into the ROZ program (the State then picks the winners – not the County) where his student loan debt was greatly re-duced by the tax dollars collected from other

citizens. The employer was not able to lower the negotiated wage so the ROZ became a money for nothing program.

The net effect was NOT a lure to the county as he was already here and happily employed. Instead the program was but an interference with the normal free market forces that de-termine the value of labor and education. The local taxpayer paid for this market interference and zero benefit was provided to the commu-nity by the ROZ. We have since learned that applicants need not even have a job to benefit from the ROZ!

Closer inspection of the program brought up some even more troubling concerns that were posed to the State. These questions were:

1. Has the student debt that these applicants accrued been qualified by taking into account the work history of the student while in school? How many hours did the applicant work while in school to support himself? How many hours did he work during summer break and what was the savings rate?

2. Has the applicant’s credit load and work load been verified so as to be certain that the applicant was fully engaged in higher educa-tion while accruing this debt?

3. Has it been verified that the applicant didn’t accrue this debt by irresponsible use of resources?

4. Have the applicants’ familial and other

resources been researched to verify that the applicant did not come from a family of means that could have chosen to pay this debt but instead would prefer the taxpayer to pick it up?

5. Please describe the selection criteria used that assures that the chosen applicant is bringing needed and valuable skills into our community.

None of these questions were answered in an acceptable manner to our Commission. We expected as much because even the heavy hand of government can never replicate the beauty and simplicity of the free market.

When government clumsily intervenes itself into the free market and disrupts the checks and balances by transferring the responsibility of consumer purchases to others thru the smoke screen of “development” or “assistance”, all we can expect are higher taxes, higher costs for the good or service and yet one more class of citizens who feel entitled to your hard earned money. It’s no coincidence that the cost of higher education and healthcare both suffer from heavy government market-meddling and runaway inflation. Programs such as this will only add fuel to the fire.

After a look past the title of this program it became apparent that we might be taxing you to pay for someone else’s student loans with no benefit to the community. We do not feel that taxing you to pay someone else’s debt is economic development.

PRIMARY, from Page 1

Billinger victorious in primary, running unopposed in general

steered the van back across the highway before she overcor-rected the vehicle a second time. It rolled about five times, coming to a stop on its side.

Although Grabert had a seat-

belt on, she was pronounced dead at the scene. Her only passenger was Kristy Lee Munoz, 28, of Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho. Although Munoz was not wearing a seatbelt, she survived the crash and was taken to Good-land Regional Medical Center.

ACCIDENTS, from Page 1

Accidents claim two livesthis week on the interstatePromoting a growing sector of the

state’s agriculture economy, Gov-ernor Sam Brownback proclaimed August as Farmers Market Month in Kansas and the week of August 3 - 9, as Farmers Market Week.

Farmers markets provide con-sumers with access to fresh, local foods and connect them with the farmers that produce their food. Farmers markets contribute to the local economy of Kansas commu-nities and can be instrumental in

building stronger small businesses.Governor Brownback and the

Kansas Department of Agriculture, Kansas Department of Health and Environment and Department for Children and Families recognize the importance of partnering with farmers markets and helping them be more successful as evidenced by enacting the Farmers Markets Pro-motion Act, Senate Bill 120 in 2013.

Registered farmers markets have access to marketing, outreach and

advocacy efforts through “From the Land of Kansas,” the state’s ag-ricultural trademark program, and the ability to receive benefits from federal grant dollars awarded to Agriculture Department on behalf of Kansas farmers markets.

“Farmers markets play an impor-tant role in agricultural advocacy and rural economic growth,” said Secretary of Agriculture Jackie McClaskey. “From 1987 to 2014, the number of farmers markets in

Kansas increased from 26 to 130. As we see this segment of agricul-ture continue to grow in the future, the Farmers Market Promotion Act enables the markets to expand and be more successful as Kansans take the opportunity to purchase quality food directly from our farmers and growers.”

August is Kansas Farmers Market Month

Kansas treasurer warns of unclaimed property scamState 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 Kan-sans 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 website that is not the state treasurer’s official webpage.

The postcards, which are postmarked from Denver, have led to consumer complaints re-ceived by the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators and unclaimed property administrators in multiple states.

Estes reminds Kansans that the state will never request individuals to provide personal informa-tion 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 correspon-

dence or phone calls regarding unclaimed prop-erty, 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 website, www.kansascash.com, or call the Unclaimed Property Division at (800) 432-0386 (toll free).

Kansas man developed men’s programBy Ron Wilson

DirectorHuck Boyd National Institute

for Rural Developmentat Kansas State University

Are you a warrior? I don’t mean a soldier fighting battles overseas. I mean a man who fights for his family and home in the everyday struggles of life. Today we’ll meet a man from rural Kansas who has long had a heart for men who wrestle with the challenges of today. He has developed a curriculum with tools which can help men in the battles of everyday life.

Lonnie Berger is a long-time staff member with The Navigators, an international Christian organiza-tion working in discipleship and leadership development. He is also

the author of this new curriculum for men called Every Man A Warrior.

Lonnie grew up in rural Kansas. His family farmed near Waterville, a rural community of 664 people. Now, that’s rural. He went to Kan-sas State and joined the staff of The Navigators. His first overseas assignment was as an undercover missionary in Romania, which was under communist rule at the time.

“Our dormitory caught fire and I found myself jumping out of a burn-ing building,” Lonnie said. “That’s the most James Bond thing I’ve ever done.” While in Romania, Lonnie also met another missionary named June. The two fell in love and were married in 1984. At that point they moved to Omaha.

Lonnie served in various roles

with The Navigators, such as trainer, administrator, counselor and con-sultant. Through the years he saw that men had a real need for as-sistance, not only with theological issues, but with the practical side of life.

“Men spend 90 percent of their time and energy dealing with issues of money, marriage, raising chil-dren, sex, moral purity, work, going through hard times and making their life count,” Lonnie said. “We need a Bible study to help men succeed in their daily lives.”

For years he prayed for the de-velopment of such materials, and in May 2009, he felt God’s call to write them himself. He called the curriculum Every Man A Warrior, Helping Men Succeed in Life. It

is a story-based Bible-study cur-riculum. Each section begins with a true story of a real man dealing with real issues.

“I think a man wants to fight for something worthwhile,” Lonnie said. “We want to fight for truth and righteousness and protection of the vulnerable. We don’t want to just waste our lives or to let life pass us by, we need to fight for our families and marriages.”

Lonnie decided to field-test his first draft. “I thought we’d have 20 guys who would be interested, but we had 63 that first year,” he said. It went so well that they went out for a larger field test in the second year. That test attracted more than 500 guys in 20 states.

For printing the books, Lonnie

approached NavPress. “This won’t sell,” he was told. “Eighty-five per-cent of all Bible studies are bought by women. But if you want to raise the money and take the risk, we’ll help you.” Lonnie set out to do so. He was told to print 2,000 copies, but he opted for more.

In year one, more than 7,000 copies were sold. In year two, some 17,500 copies were sold.

“Men have a real hunger for help in the practical areas of life,” Lon-nie said. More than 400 churches are now using Every Man A War-rior in some way. Many use it as a cornerstone of their men’s studies programs.

Trans World Radio, which does international broadcasting, is now translating 22 of the lessons for

broadcast overseas. They will be translated into 72 languages.

Lonnie continues to travel full-time for The Navigators, working with men’s discipleship programs.

“God wants men to know answers to the problems we face,” Lonnie said. For more information or to purchase books, go to www.every-manawarrior.com.

Are you a warrior? No, not in Iraq or Afghanistan. I mean, are you a warrior for families and mar-riages and children right here in this country? We commend Lonnie Berger for making a difference by developing this curriculum which can help men succeed in their every-day battles of life. This curriculum can help make every man a warrior.

How you propup fruit tree limbs

Heavy fruit loads this season may cause limbs to break if they are not given extra support. As fruits increase in size, the additional weight on individual branches may be substantial. One-inch thick boards can be used to prop up limbs.

Here’s how! Cut a “V” on the top edge of the board on which the limb will rest so that it doesn’t slip off. Long limbs that are heavily loaded with fruit may need a prop in the center and another to support the outer part of the limb. A plastic belt-like material that is about 2 inches wide may also be used. This can be tied to a heavily loaded limb, then to a large diameter limb above for support. Where a large limb is used for support, it is good to have it supporting limbs on opposite sides so the weight is balanced. Another solution is to wrap a tape

or belt material around the tree in a spiral to prevent limbs from bending until they break. Heavy twine may be used, but it should be removed when the fruit is picked or soon after so it does not cut into the bark on the limb.

Check trees regularly, up to two times a week during the last month the fruit are maturing. You will find additional limbs that need support. Tending to the heavily loaded tree limbs will reduce the number of broken limbs and help keep a bal-ance of the fruiting wood in your tree. Next year, prune long, weak branches back to a side branch to help prevent this problem.

Imposter scams canfool many peopleBy Derek Schmidt

Kansas Attorney GeneralWhen your telephone rings, you

expect the person on the other end of the line to tell you who they are and why they are calling you. But scammers are coming up with more elaborate ways of fooling you into thinking they are someone else.

We call this wide range of scams “imposter scams,” because the per-son on the other end of the phone is pretending to be someone they are not in hopes of getting you to give them money or personal informa-tion. Here are just a few examples we are seeing around the state:

Grandparent scam. This scam typically involves the scammer pretending to be a grandchild stuck in some situation in need of money. The “grandchild” might say they are stuck in a prison in Mexico in need of bail money, or maybe in Italy with a lost passport or in New York in need of a bus ticket. The scam-mer might use bits of information he or she has picked up from a real grandchild’s social media accounts to make the call sound real – perhaps mentioning the name of a family pet or a favorite food.

Electricity bills. Several major utilities in the state have reported scammers calling customers pre-tending to be from your electric company trying to collect on a past-due bill. The scammer will threaten the consumer with shutting off their electricity if they do not pay immediately.

Jury duty. In this scam, the caller claims to be from a local law en-forcement agency telling you he or she has a warrant for your arrest because you missed jury duty. But, if you send them some money right away, they can take care of it.

IRS. The scammer in this call claims to be from the IRS calling about a problem with your tax re-

turn. Just like in the other calls, the scammer wants you to send him money right away to resolve the situation. The caller may threaten you with an audit or heavy tax pen-alties if you don’t send the money immediately.

In all of these scams, the caller will almost always want you to wire money immediately, or to purchase a prepaid cash card and call them back with the number. These meth-ods of sending money are very hard to trace and almost impossible to get back once it has been sent.

Don’t give in to threats of arrest or IRS audits. In Kansas, if you miss jury duty, you will get a letter asking you to contact the court to resched-ule your service. Court officers will not call you and ask you for money for missing jury duty. And, the IRS advises taxpayers that if there is a problem with your tax return, they will notify you by mail – not through a threatening phone call.

The key to all of these scams is to be skeptical of the person calling. Even if you think the call might be legitimate, hang up and call the person back at a phone number you know is real – whether it is a grandchild, your electric company, court clerk or the IRS. Don’t call back the number from your caller ID. Find the legitimate number through the phone book or your billing statement. Ask for help from a trusted friend or relative, or even your local police or sheriff, before sending any money.

You can also call our Consumer Protection Division at (800) 432-2310 or visit us online at www.InYourCornerKansas.org. Our consumer protection specialists are there to help you protect your wallet from these telephone phonies.

Bulls versus riders at the county fairSeveral dozen professional bull riders got in a day’s work in eight seconds at the Western Plains Chute-Out on Wednesday at the Sherman County Fairgrounds.Jay Miller, a rider from Liberty, S.C., won the event. He scored an 83.5 in the long go, and then put in an 87.5 in the short go, riding the bull Bankshot from contractor John McDonald, sponsored by Goodland Glass. The combined score determines the winner. Miller beat Robson Aragao of Brazil and Ryan Mc-Connel of Colgate, Okla. The event was part of the Touring Pro division of Professional Bull Riding. This year it featured a local rider, Ryan Stevenson of Rexford. Stevenson did not score in the long go.
