Arizona board members September 3 date that the shuttered plant would begin taking

BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Investors of East
Kansas Agri Energy turned
back an attempted hostile takeover of the companys board
of directors at their recent
start producing enthanol.
The corn delivery date was
the first official report to investors regarding the reopening 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 hardest of two back-to-back drought
years that decimated the
regions corn crop. The company remained open although it
laid off the majority of its production 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 meeting was the turning back of

Identity of person who

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT County commissioners said yesterday theyd
like to know who the mystery
person is who conducted a
secret ad campaign against the
Anderson County Hospital bond
issue last spring, but theyre
not willing to try an unconventional lawsuit against their own
county attorney to find out.
Commissioners

Publisher Dane Hicks, who
last month requested the com-

Brandon Jones to disclose the
persons identity, they werent
willing to go so far as to file the
lawsuit because in effect they
would be suing themselves.
Id like to know who it
was too, said Second District
Commissioner Jerry Howarter,
but Im not in favor of suing
ourselves.
County counselor James
Campbell said there were any
number of problems with the
commission instigating a lawsuit against the county attorney.
He said the expectation of success in court would be low and

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
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 agreement. 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 measures at the bank.
It is not known what type
of penalty the men could face
from the plea bargain. A conviction on a federal bank robbery charge could bring up to
20 years in a federal prison and
up to $250,000 in fines.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Anderson Countys
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 Sheriffs
Department and offers a free
database to track stolen equipment.
The theft of heavy farm and
construction equipment like
tractors, backhoes and skidloaders 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 market. Valentine gave an example
of a hypothetical tractor worth
$100,000 that is left overnight in

Commissioners were able to
stick to last years budget as a
guideline when preparing the
2014 budget, despite increases
in employee salaries and health
insurance premiums.
The countys total tax rate
for 2014 is 92.71 mills, up more
than 6 mills from 2013s rate of
88.558. That increase includes
a mill levy of 6.053 for bonds
and interest for the new hospital. Without the hospital bonds,
county commissioners raised
taxes by 0.101 of a mill.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – A bold early-morning 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

those departments and by shaving about $5,000 out of the zoning department, the countys
general fund was reduced by
a total savings of about $6,159.
That equals a tax rate reduction of about 0.109 of a mill in
the general fund. The general
fund is one of the countys largest expenses, and includes most
departments and pays for the
salaries of employees in those
departments.
The road and bridge department also takes up a significant
part of the countys budget, and
it was increased by $68,000.
The largest increase in the
countys budget was for employee 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.

reason of increases in the previous months was due to more
individuals entering the labor
force.
Three major industries
reported statewide over-themonth 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 seasonally adjusted jobs numbers.
These numbers perhaps indicate a weakness in this sector.
In July, Manufacturing lost
1,900 jobs and Education and
Health Services lost 800 jobs.
Statewide, the unemployment 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, unemployment rates are as follows:
Allen County: 6.8 percent
in July; 6.5 percent in June; 7.1
percent in July 2012.

The countys 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 Aprils 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. Lukes Health system, 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.
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 hospital 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 complaint 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 didnt 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 clerks office that detail
the amount spent in political
advocacy and the identity of the
payer.
No one can make the county attorney file those charges, Hicks said later Monday.
Thats 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 advertising donation the Review
made in support of the hospital
bond issue and to file forms
to that effect with the county
clerks office.
If I have to file them and
every one in every other election
has to file them, why doesnt
this person have to file it?,
Hicks said. The law requires
you to be up front about whos
supporting your cause and the
public has a right to that information. The county attorney
is withholding that information
from the public.
of East Kansas contended
through ads in area newspapers and mailings to investors
that EKAE had been mismanaged by the present board and
that other plants in the country
were still operating and earning money while EKAE was
closed the past year. Board
members countered that shutting down during the drought
and preserving the companys
war chest of cash was the best
course and allowed the company to re-open without going
into debt. Brittenham solicited
investors to sign a petition calling for a special board meeting
of EKAE which was originally
set for August 17.
Negotiations between EKAE
and Brittenhams Concerned
Members resulted in the postponement of the special meeting and the abandonment of
Brittenhams proposal for a
new board slate, on the condition that Brittenham be placed
on the ballot to retain his board
post and that another member of Clean Energy Capital,
Jonathan Henness, be placed
up for election to the board as
well. In an address to membership 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 companys 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.

Safety nets of modern
recession make for a
disincentive to work
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 seekers. 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 during the entirety of the EDITORIAL

positions in USD 365
PUBLISHER
turn down job offers
in the district, telling interviewers theyd rather 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, its 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 someones
expectations impacts other facets of the economy 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 recently 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 states median
salary of $30,836 per year.
In 33 states, total welfare benefits annualized 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 secretary 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 cant blame some
people for asking why?
I was just concerned about dogs being
dumped in the country. At Tennessee
and 1830 Roads I have seen dogs roaming that seem to be strayed or dumped.

possibly a German Shepherd mix- Im
just concerned about people dumping them in the country. They seem
friendly and very hungry. Im just
concerned about it and I didnt know
what to do in a case like that.
Hillarys race card
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
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 voting rights. She took
aim at the Supreme
Courts recent decision
striking down a portion
of the Voting Rights Act
and excoriated states
Lowry
that have recently tightened 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 hasnt missed a
beat. She knows that the calling card of
Democrats in the Obama era is a polarizing politics that seeks to fire up minority 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 Carolinas
Attack on Voting Rights, says The Daily
Beast.
North Carolinas 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 support. A Washington Post poll last year
showed 65 percent of blacks and 64 percent 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 isnt
in doubt. The Supreme Court upheld
Indianas voter ID law in 2008 in a 6-3
decision written by now-retired liberal
Justice John Paul Stevens. The evidence suggests that voter ID laws dont
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 particular, 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 operation. (Despite the animadversions of
The New York Times, New York doesnt
allow no-excuse early voting — surely
because it is so hostile to minorities.)
It is ending same-day registration.
Bingo! North Carolina hates black voters. But the majority of states — again,
including New York — dont allow sameday registration.
You can certainly argue that election laws like those adopted in North
Carolina are unnecessary or imprudent. You cant 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.

Review.
I was just wondering what the problem is with the city? They cant 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
arent going to use them? We cant
expect people to use the parks if they
arent kept up. Thank you.
I have a question or an idea for somebody about the Lakes. Has anybody
ever thought about having a big fish
contest around here? Whats the
record fish ever caught in Anderson
County? Need to have a fishing contest, open to adults too not just to the
kids and see whos got braggin rights
to the biggest fish. I hear a lot of tall
tales but I aint never seen no big fish
from here. Thank you.
Im not sure whose supposed to be
taking care of this but there are a
lot of trees and bushes growing in
peoples back yards that with all this
rain and growing season have grown
to the point that theyre growing out
into the alleys behind the neighborhoods. Branches are growing out so
far that theyre scraping on your car
and banging on your radio antenna.
If its the property owners thats supposed to be doing this or the city I
think somebody needs to get some
pruners and spend an afternoon driving the alleys in our fair city.
Hmmm…. Get new boobs or make my
house payment? Lets see…
Someone needs to keep the mowing up
at the (deleted) church. Some nice person 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.
Choose a job you love, and you will never
have to work a day in your life.
CONFUSIUS
Get ready for the fun of a special session
This is the week that…hold your
breath…members of
the Kansas
Legislature start thinking in earnest
about just howor whetherto make
political points during the special session
of the Legislature that starts next week.
Do they propose to amend that fix for
the states Hard-50 murder sentence that
the U.S. Supreme Court says is unconstitutional 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 commission 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 Schmidts proposed fix
for the problem, then quickly pass it and
head home in maybe two, not the governors suggestion of three days?
Oh, there are political points to be
madeor losthere.
Long speeches that all come down to
tough on crime, proposed amendments
that might eliminate the death penalty
that hasnt 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 campaign season is under way)bullet-points
on those campaign palmcards that well
get at parades next year or maybe see

and the door jamb.
Meanwhile, as legislators are consid-

KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
ering how to play this special session that
starts the day after Labor Day…theres
State Treasurer Ron Estes, who wont get
even a mention because, well, he doesnt
send murderers to prison.
So, with just a year before the next
election, hes come up with a low-key PR
move of his own…a new, pretty interesting-looking blog for his office (http://
kstreasurer.com/).
Now, thats a step or two down the
political excitement scale, but remember, state treasurers dont 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 hes got. A lot of information about
money: The states and probably more
politically important in an upcoming
campaign…ours.
Interestingly, hes promising a weekly rundown of the top 10 unclaimed
properties of each countythat money
that most of us have forgotten or didnt
know we were given or eligible for. It
will be one county a week, starting with
Allen County, on the Treasurers Top
10 Tuesdays. Other daysMoney
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 days
information they are most anticipating,
the Tuesday segment is winning.
Now, were 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, were 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…

LOCAL
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 children about walking there safely, particularly their teenagers. Heres why
its important: teenagers are now the
most at-risk youth for pedestrian injuries, 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 safety 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 attention. 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 disturbing 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,
its 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
5A
have a program. For more information about how a Walking School Bus
works, visit walkingschoolbus.org.
Talk to your teens about distractions. Cell phone use, whether texting,
talking, or listening to music with
headphones, can distract a pedestrian
from seeing or hearing oncoming vehicles.
Be a good role model. Children
need you to not only tell them, but
also show them how to be safe pedestrians.

Researcher says newer teachers most likely to be engaged at work
LAWRENCE Conventional
wisdom says experienced teachers 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 precipitously to 30.9 percent for teachers with one to three years of
experience, and it falls further
to 27.9 percent for educators
with three to five years of experience. 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
sons six teachers arent fully
engaged.
Lopez findings are based on
Gallup surveys of more than
7,265 American K-12 teachers,
conducted in 2012.
Theres some important context to these findings, Lopez
explained. First, overall, teachers engagement ranks high
compared with other occupations. In fact, teachers rank No.
4 in engagement on a list of 12
different occupational categories 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 greater among teachers than in
other occupation groups. This
is partly because new teachers
have higher levels of engagement than new workers in
non-teaching jobs. But it also
seems to be the result of something specific to the teaching
profession that causes teacher
engagement rates to fall more
dramatically than in other professions, Lopez said.
The data suggest that teachers 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 someone 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 assessments of workplace elements
with proven linkages to performance outcomes, including
productivity, customer service,
quality, retention, safety and
profit.
Gallups employee engagement index categorizes workers 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 satisfied with their workplaces but
not emotionally connected to
them and these employees are
less likely to put in discretionary effort. Those workers categorized as actively disengaged
are emotionally disconnected
from their work and workplace,
and they jeopardize the performance 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 todays
newest teachers and support
these educators throughout
their careers to maintain this
engagement. School leaders
can focus first on selecting talented 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 hiring and engaging great teachers is a vital step to school success, he said. Engaged teachers not only challenge students
to grow, they also encourage
and engage their fellow teachers, building the foundation for
great schools.
Identify southern rust in corn to minimize yield, profit loss
MANHATTAN — Small, light
brown, circular lesions covering 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 necessary and economical.
Jardine identified southern 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 survive. It lives mainly in southern
Texas and northern Mexico,
where temperatures allow corn
to grow year-round, and it travels 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 stage35 days
before maturityit may be
beneficial for farmers to spray
fungicides. Products containing a triazole mode of action
are recommended.
If the corn is already in the
denting phase of maturity,
Jardine said producers probably wont see an economic
benefit to spraying, as the rust
likely wont affect the yield too
much. He said much of south
central Kansas has reached
that denting stage of development already and likely wont
need to be sprayed.
Jardine said corn producers
should evaluate each field separately. 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 potential, Jardine said. A field
with a reasonable amount of
rust could have 10 to 15 percent
yield loss.
A 10 percent loss on a 200bushel per acre yield is 20 bushels. 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 epidemic of southern rust early on
that is not treated, and producers 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 resistance to southern rust is limited, 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 KState publication MF3016, 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.

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 getaway 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 families.
This year, August 25 through
September 7, a safety belt awareness 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 automobile 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 percent 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
Richmond Museum closes soon
Labor Day weekend will be the final regular 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 especially enjoyed a display prepared and loaned
by Marvin and Pat Gretencord of Olathe, one
of toy tractors matched with names of farmers 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.
nation in seat belt usage.
An average of 93 people
die each day in motor vehicle
crashes nationally; thats 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. Its such a
simple thing and only takes a
few seconds to buckle up.

Devin Shrum is sworn in for another term with the Kansas Air National Guard. Shrum, a graduate of Anderson County High
School, joined the Guard as a 17-year-old high school student and has completed six years of service.
Shrum re-enlists with Kansas Air National Guard
Devin Shrum has completed six honorable 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 training. 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.
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 compliance 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 compliance 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 problems before you take necessary
control measures. Compliance
violations will result in CRP
payment reductions or your
contract can be terminated.
If the violation warrants termination, 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 applicable CRP payment was issued.

Kansans focus on suicide awareness, prevention
TOPEKA Kansas Department for Aging
and Disability Services Shawn Sullivan
and Kansas Department of Health and
the Environment Dr. Robert Moser met
Friday in Topekas Memorial Hall with
suicide survivors and family members
of victims from across the state to highlight the need for strengthening suicide
prevention and awareness efforts across
the State of Kansas. Earlier in the day
Governor Sam Brownback signed a proclamation designating September 8-14 as
Suicide Prevention Week in Kansas.
They were joined by Chairman Wes
Cole and members of the Governors
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 program 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 organizations operating in Kansas.
We are here to acknowledge the seriousness of this problem and to demonstrate 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, family, 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
elses fault, those left behind often feel
so guilty, Ms. Epstein said.
Suicide prevention is truly everyones 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 support and guidance is available by calling
Headquarters Counseling Center at 785841-2345 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 Governors 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

1993: Fourth cow
mutilation reported
September 2, 2003
It was a series of mechanical problems and the intense
demand for electricity for air
conditioners and cooling units
that fried the citys electric system 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 temperatures.
A new group has formed in
Garnett as an outgrowth of the
Walker Art Committee, which
hopes to support fine arts programs at Anderson County High
School and help elevate those
programs to the community.
Garnetts 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, forensics 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 district 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 Sheriffs Department
reported on just one case involving 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 pasture located two miles south and
one-half mile east of Welda.
Anderson Countys fourth
cow mutilation since February
was reported to the Anderson
County Sheriffs 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
by Vickie Moss
Staff Writer
yards away from the home by
a road to be transported away.
Sometime between darkness
Tuesday and the early morning
hours of Wednesday, the cows
sex organs were removed with
a bladed instrument. The mutilation of the animal follows a
pattern established in three previous cases of mutilation that
occurred since February of this
year. In the earlier cases, investigators believe the perpetrators
killed the animals before mutilating them.
September 5, 1983
The soybean crop in Anderson
County shows signs of a 40 percent 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 culprit, 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 persons sometime Thursday night
or Friday morning, and some
merchandise was reported stolen from one of the buildings.
Neals Pharmacy was entered by
prying the front door, and watches, lighters and drugs were taken
along with some change. A person or persons also entered the
office of Dr. James Kokoruda, a
dentist, but nothing was reported 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 postal facility, and should measure
about 100 by 150 feet.
This photo shows a small triangle area that was searched by metal detectors during the Kansas Archaeology Training Program Field
School 2013. Every flag represents a metal target that was discovered during the survey.
Flags note targets in metal detection
My hope for this weeks picture is to show you what I want
to relate to you. As most of you
already know, I was assigned
to the Metal Detector survey team/crew at this years
Kansas Archaeology Training

Association).

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 survey 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 1800s . 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 joining 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 weekend, 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
Be carrying at least 12
alcohol
is a contributing factor, according to
hours per semester during the
KDOT, you are two-and-one-half (2 12) times
scholarship year; and
Have a minimum grade more likely to be injured and four-and-onepoint average of 2.5 during the
most recent 30 hours of study.
Application forms may be
picked up at area banks. The
due date for applications is
Sept. 16, 2013. Anyone having
questions concerning the scholarship should contact Kenny
Kellstadt at (785) 448-3115, or
Stacey Hedges at (785) 448-6155.
Scholarship applications
available at area banks
Applications are now available for the Ed Britton Memorial
Optimist Scholarship. The $500
scholarship is awarded annually to an upper level college
student. The requirements for
applicants include the following:
Be a graduate of a high
school in USD 365;
Have completed at least 60
semester hours of work in a
recognized four-year university
and/or junior college;

half (4 12) 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
someones 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, superintendent 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
ANDERSON
period for the Patrol (KHP stats only), troopers 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 people 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 portion 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 highway, 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.

Richards, Donovan married
Where does God
fit in your life?
In Luke 14 Jesus is eating
at the house of a prominent
Pharisee and he relates a parable that illustrates the gracious 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 purchased and the third man had
just gotten married.
Evidently those invited
accepted the original invitation. A second invitation
when all was ready was customary. 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 commanded has been done and
still there is room. The master then instructed the servant to go out to the highways
and hedges and compel people 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 dishonesty. The parable illustrates how man puts material
things, business and occupation 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 religious establishment and to
those the religious establishment 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 religion. 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 second chance. Each of us must
decide our level of service
and commitment to Gods
Kingdom. However keep in
mind there is a different reckoning in heaven than here on
earth.

Wallace Strickler fell July
3, broke a hip and shoulder,
underwent surgery at Overland
Park Regional and then to
Windsor Place, Iola is doing
very well. He and wife Delores
son and family, Darrell and
Judy Strickler and daughter,
Joy, Clovis, Calif. recently spent
three days visiting. Delores and
Wallace appreciate so much the
help of Colony paramedics and
others who helped when he fell
and Windsor employees who
continue to work with him in
regaining his strength.

MANHATTAN The recent
wet weather through much of
Kansas has caused volunteer
wheat to emerge and grow rapidly, 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 states 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 emerges during the summer and
is still present when planted
wheat emerges creates numerous 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 volunteer 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
AD
1×4
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 upcoming 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 volunteer 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 storage 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 halfmile 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. Thats 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 neighbors by reducing the chances
of wheat streak mosaic, barley
yellow dwarf, Hessian fly, or
Russian wheat aphid.
