Drought intensifies fire danger
Bad line on KCP&L side
blamed for outages,
with one exception
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – A series of power
outages in recent weeks caught
city power operators by surprise
as much as customers.
Problems with KCP&Ls system resulted in a series of power
outages in the last two weeks about twice a day, usually in the
morning and afternoon, power
would shut off across the city
and immediately return.
City officials say they were
as much surprised by the outages as customers. KCP&L supplies the city with power, and the
problems seemed to be entirely
on KCP&Ls side, city manager
Joyce Martin said.

Grass fires like the one above have kept area firefighters busy. The recent

GARNETT – A dispute over
delays on a bridge repair project
is more about the inconvenience
than the money, the countys
Road and Bridge director said.
A project that replaced the
one-lane Rainbow Bridge on
Fourth Avenue/1750 Road east of
Garnett had several unexplained
delays, Lester Welsh, director of
the countys Road and Bridge
Department, said. The project
was 12 days late. According to

calls.

USD 365 schools get more students than expected

365 this year likely wont make
much of a difference in school
funding for the year, but could
help the district in future
years.
Attendance at most schools
in USD 365 was better than
expected as the 2012 school year
opened in recent weeks. That
doesnt mean the district has
more students than it did last
year – it just means officials
expected enrollment to drop
more than it did.
Kansas schools dont conduct official enrollment counts
until Sept. 20. However, preliminary numbers based on
August enrollment shows the
district should have about the
same number of students it did
last year. This years enroll-
ment is 1,083, although that
could change by Sept. 20.
School officials had expected
the districts enrollment would
drop by 25 to 30 students. That
hasnt happened.
The biggest increase in students is at the new Garnett
Elementary School. Although
some may have expected the
new elementary school would
pull students to Garnett and
away from other nearby schools,
the numbers dont seem to bear
that out. GES principal Krista
Hedrick said although the
school does have a few students
from nearby schools, including one family from the USD

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – With a full week
of school under their belts,
parents and others who take
children to and from Garnett
Elementary School seem to be
adapting to traffic patterns at
the new school.
Traffic to and from the school
has been a concern since the site

school was under construction,
officials from the school, city
and state said they would have
to wait and see how traffic patterns emerged before making
decisions on such things as a
southbound turning lane.
So far, traffic appears to be
under control, GES principal
Krista Hedrick said. She primarily was concerned that
after-school traffic would back
up into the northbound turn
lane on U.S. 59, but so far that
hasnt seemed to have occurred.
Although there are dozens of
cars that arrive within a short
time period, most of the afterschool traffic is cleared out by
3:15 p.m.
Im very pleased, Hedrick
said. Everyone has been very
patient.
The new school has 431 students and more than 60 staff
members. Many students ride
the bus, and between 20 to 30
walk or ride a bicycle. Of the
remainder, motorists have a
choice – they can pick students
up in front of the building using
U.S. 59 or Home Run Drive, or
they can pick students up in
back of the building using an
access road from Lake Garnett.
About two-thirds of motorists
pick students up in front of the
building, Hedrick said.

Kincaid that started in Bourbon
County and spread into Linn and
Anderson counties. Although
no structures were lost, the fire
destroyed about 200 acres in
Anderson County before it was
brought under control. Every
truck from every department
in the county, as well as crews
from other counties, were called
to fight the fire.
We had trucks all over the
place. It was nasty, Grimes
said.
Because of the dry conditions and increased fire danger, at least three departments
have been called to every fire
recently. Two separate fires in
Allen County last week burned
more than 6,000 acres and at
least one uninhabited structure
before they were brought under
control.
In addition to the large grass
fire near Kincaid, crews also
responded last week to a house
fire in Colony and a shed fire
at Westphalia, both at about
the same time Wednesday, Aug.
22. The Westphalia fire started
because someone was burning
off a ditch and a building caught
fire. In Colony, someone had a
barbecue the night before and
embers from that fire caught a
house on fire overnight. No one
was injured.
It doesnt take much to get it
started, Grimes said.
Many of the fires began from
sparks from farm machinery.
Fires have started from hay balers and even lawnmowers.
Anderson County is among
those listed in an Exceptional
Drought category, the most
severe designation given by the
U.S. Drought Monitor. Cities
such as Colony and Garnett
have implemented water conservation measures. About 19
inches of rain has fallen on the
area since the beginning of the
year in a typical year, the
county would have more than
27.63 inches of rain by this time
of year. The drought began last
year, with a deficit of more than
4 inches of rain in 2011. Most
of this week is expected to be
dry, with a 20 percent chance
of rain Friday, according to the
National Weather Service.
Grimes said he appreciates
all the hard work and time
required of firefighters lately.
In addition to the heat of fighting a fire, volunteers also must
work in what have been temperatures of 90 to 100 degrees.
If you see a fireman, thank
him. Theyve sure worked
hard the last couple of weeks,
Grimes said.
Interpretation of positive or negative information
is all a matter of anticipation, psychologist says
MANHATTAN — Each month
a new jobs report is issued in
the United States. Each month
the report is also met with criticism even if jobs are added.
But a persons decision to
view increased hires as a positive or negative may be a matter of how outcomes compare
to expectations, said Michael
Young, professor and psychology department head at Kansas
State University.
According to Young, placing
more people in jobs may seem
like a positive, but if the numbers are lower than economists
project or are not enough to
lower the unemployment rate,
then the addition can be seen as
a negative.
You can push around the
apparent positivity and negativity of the outcome by reframing it, and can thereby provide
a different benchmark for comparison, Young said. Creating
80,000 jobs is better than 20,000
jobs. But creating 80,000 jobs
when 180,000 are needed to hold
unemployment constant is not
so good.
Psychologists have labeled
the mismatch between expectations and actual outcomes as
the contrast effect.
Politicians frequently use the
effect to reframe information,
giving it either a positive or
negative spin that best serves
their purposes and appeals to
their base.
The problems really arise
when people fail to do the
necessary digging because
we like one spin over another
since it fits our own suppositions, Young said. Given that
our president is currently a
Democrat, a Democratic supporter might be more critical
of data that put a negative spin
on a jobs report and try to find
data that disconfirms the negative framing. If the spin is positive, the Democrat may not look
further into the data. The opposite was the case when there
was a Republican in the White
House.
Some of the potential problems with the schools traffic
plan havent been a big concern,
Hedrick said.
Motorists from U.S. 59 and
Home Run Drive must merge
at the schools entrance, which
could create a bottleneck at that
junction, especially because its
also the exit. But so far, Hedrick
said, the cars appear to merge
without creating a significant
backlog. After buses leave,
school officials will open up the
bus lane so motorists can exit
from that location. Some motorists have attempted to enter
through the bus lane, but that
doesnt seem to be a recurring
problem.
Behind the school, traffic at
times has been backed up about
halfway down the access road.
Morning traffic doesnt have
nearly the backlog as afternoon
traffic. However, Hedrick said
she is more concerned with the
time some students arrived,
rather than how it happens.
The school opens at 7:30 a.m.
and the final bell rings at 8 a.m.
At that time, students should be
gathered in their common pod
area to hear announcements.
Students who eat breakfast
at school should arrive early
enough so they can eat and be in
their pod area by 8 a.m. However,
some students who need to eat
breakfast at school arrive only
minutes before or right at 8 a.m.
That can create some problems
because staff want to make sure
students have enough time to
eat, but they also need to start
the school day on time, Hedrick
said.
MANHATTAN — A group
of Kansas State University
researchers has made valuable
findings in the search for cancers cure.
While researching ways to
improve animal health, the
scientists — Raymond Bob
Rowland, a virologist and professor of diagnostic medicine
and pathobiology, and Deryl
Troyer, professor of anatomy
and physiology — have made
two important discoveries that
can also improve human health.
Not only have they found pigs
with severe combined immunodeficiency, or SCID, but they
are also the first to discover the
connection with human cancer,
particularly melanomas and
pancreatic cancers.
The researchers call it a scientific achievement with huge
potential to improve surgeries
and drug development involved
with cancer.
This could be a gamechanger, Troyer said.
It began with Rowlands
research with controlling and
eliminating porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome,
or PRRS. The work led to a fortuitous discovery: a naturally
occurring line of immunodeficient pigs.
Pigs are closely related
to humans anatomically and
physiologically, Rowland said.
This can have huge potential
for human cancer research.
After the discovery of SCID
pigs, Rowland turned to Troyer,
who performs cancer research.
Their collaborative work not
only enables researchers to better study SCID pigs, but they
can also apply their research to
the study of human cancer and
anti-cancer drugs.
This is a great example of
collaborative and interdisciplinary research, Troyer said.
With two perspectives, there
is often a synergy that evolves
because of different ways of
thinking.
The
researchers
have
already studied human melanomas and human pancreatic
cancers, which are devastating
types of cancer and a big target
in cancer research, Troyer said.
They want to apply the same
methods to other types of solid
cancers and blood neoplasms
like leukemia.
While similar research has
been performed with SCID
mice, it has not adapted well
to human cancer research.
Rowland said there is about a
90 percent failure rate in translation of results from mice to
humans. Research involving
SCID pigs may be more beneficial to human cancer research
because pigs are closer anatomically to humans.
The research opens a variety of doors for both animal
and human health research. It
may now be easier for scientists
us off guard, too, Martin said.
Its hard on our system, too.
The problem appears to be an
issue with a line about 14 miles
west of the Centerville substation, local officials say they
were told by KCP&L. Martin
said she wasnt sure what problems KCP&L had and couldnt
speak for them.
A representative from
KCP&L could not be reached
for comment. An outage map
on the companys website, however, did not show any customers in the county without power
as of Monday.
The city has had some problems of its own, however. A
power outage Thursday morning that lasted nearly an hour
was caused by a strong gust
of wind that blew other utility
lines into the citys electric lines
at Fifth and Spruce, causing an
arc that plunged the entire town
into darkness.
City crews said dry weather
likely played a role. Because
of expansion and contraction
of wood in extreme weather
conditions, city crews noticed
some utility poles were twisted
at the top. Martin said although
it sounds unusual, crews gave
her the example of something
that is standing still but tugged
in one direction may twist to
compensate.
Gossip, for example, is a form
of sharing negative information. Although once dismissed
as white noise, some researchers have since determined
that gossip helps clarify, communicate and enforce socially
acceptable behaviors that are
not published in laws, rulebooks or manuals.
If I complain about someones bad breath or cellphone
etiquette, theres an implicit
message that you should be
careful to brush your teeth or
not answer your cellphone,
Young said. Interestingly,
though, we wont complain
about those behaviors to someone who we know when theyre
engaging in them, but children
have no such compunctions.
Similarly, talking about troubles and negative situations
helps some people handle complex and frustrating situations.
It externalizes our own failures so its about the situation,
not about me, Young said.
to improve strategies for bone
marrow transplants. They also
have a better way to detect cancer drug side effects and test
surgical interventions, Troyer
said.
The potential is a little
daunting because it is as if
there is no horizon limiting possible ways to utilize this model,
Troyer said. It is an opportunity for Kansas State University
to be a leader in the field and to
become a center for large animal biomedical research.
For Rowland, the discovery
also opens new doors for infectious disease research.
There are a lot of pig diseases for which we still dont know
how they function and how
they cause disease, Rowland
said. Now we are able to ask
the question, What role does
the immune system play in
clearing the virus or in causing
disease?
The research also improves
the study of zoonotic diseases,
which are diseases — like swine
influenza — that can be transmitted between animals and
humans. By developing vaccines for diseases in SCID pigs,
scientists can gain insight into
human vaccine development.
The universitys Biosecurity
Research Institute provides the
ideal location for developing
these vaccines, Rowland said.
The scientists have performed research on a small
scale and now want to build it up
to a larger scale. They see possibilities for new research with
the Kansas State University
Johnson Cancer Research
Center as well as cancer
research partnerships and collaborations with the University
of Kansas Cancer Center, especially with its recent National
Cancer Institute designation.
Agriculture benefits the
people of the state in so many
ways, Rowland said. While it
includes jobs and exports, there
is a human element that we
sometimes forget. This is a good
example of how we can take
animal health research and all
of a sudden it has the potential
to help cure human cancer.
The research recently
appeared in the journal
BioResearch Open Access.
Rowland and Troyer have
another upcoming publication
in the Journal of Veterinary
Pathology.
The College of Veterinary
Medicine has provided financial support for the research.
Other university collaborators include the Comparative
Medicine
Group,
Stefan
Bossmann, professor of chemistry, and Duane Davis, professor
of animal sciences and industry. Researchers at Iowa State
University were also involved.

Outside of the political arena,
Young said the Christmas season can also see a mismatch
between expectations and reality.
Its like the kid who gets
10 gifts at Christmas and says,
Is that all? because he or she
expected a huge pile like the
ones on TV or a bigger haul
than the neighbor got, Young
said.
Likewise, animals show
similar positive and negative
stances when it comes to expectations and the actual outcome.
For example, a pigeon will
show excitement by responding
faster if it receives two food pellets when the custom has been
to only receive one. The pigeon
will show frustration and disappointment by responding more
slowly for the same two pellets,
however, if it is expecting the
customary four food pellets but
only receives two.
Sometimes a negative view
on a situation can have a positive effect, Young said.

Ethanol plant makes third
recent piece of bad business
news; time to do something?
Word recently that Garnetts East
Kansas Agri- Energy ethanol plant will
shut down for at least a year makes our
areas third piece of bad economic news
in the past 20 months. Its time Anderson
County got serious about economic development again.
EKAE employed around 30 workers
with solid-paying new-tech ag-centered
jobs; Astro manufacturing, which relocated to Ottawa after a February 2011
fire, employed 20 or so; Kids Creations
announced in November of last year its
new owners would move the company

and a drought that
has most recently
squelched what would ordinarily be harvest-time employment and spending.
Things around here are bad – worse
now than in a long time. And we dont
hear any rumination of things getting
any better. From the lack of attention
the totality of the issue generates, were
forced to wonder if anyones even paying
attention?
Theres no magic wand to wave and recreate those 70 jobs, but if we give a hoot
about the economics of our community,
shouldnt we at least get together and talk
about whats wrong and brainstorm some
ideas?
There was a spark a few months ago. A
business summit hosted by a local city
committee back in March provided a good
start to rekindling community business
interests among local folks who have a
stake in local commerce. There were some
good conversations and the foundation
was laid for more specific discussions.
Since then, well… nothing.
Everyone knows economic development is prickly work in rural areas and
small towns. Getting it done in good times
was hard enough, and in what amounts
to a recession which is for all practical
purposes still in place locally – its even
harder. Most of the time it seems success
comes down to luck, but if youre not
ready to catch the ball when somebody
throws it to you? Failure from lack of
preparation is your own fault.
Regardless how haphazard the effort
might seem, Anderson County needs to reengage itself in a modern discussion of its
own economic vitality, or lack thereof, and
do so with the idea that such an assessment might point us in a better direction.
We have assets. We have new schools
and a vast background in agriculture
and ranching; we have a local hospital in
need of facility upgrades which provides
nearly 200 good paying jobs and represents an industry which will be a focal
point of the future; we have oil and gas
wells which have afforded the county the
only increased property valuation its
seen in the recent past; we have relatively
cheap housing and cheap base labor; we
have hunting, fishing and water sports;
were wired with telecommunications
and Internet technology; we have urban
proximity; we have a quality of life that
provides nearly crime-free living.
In short, we have some solid puzzle
pieces – how do we arrange them to make
a better picture to create new jobs and
new wealth? We start by convening a
meeting of the minds, facilitated and
assisted by experts available from regional
universities and public agencies that our
tax dollars are already paying for. Those
development folks are in the business of
helping develop ideas, and we need some.
We better start talking it over, before
we lose even more.
I was wondering if someone could tell

believe its USD 365, and Mont Ida and
Westphalia and Greeley are included
in that. Just food for thought. Thanks.

On Medicare, the Romney campaign
is borrowing the strategic logic of a longago military legend.
Taking command of the French ninth
army in 1914 as it retreated before the
Germans, Marshal Ferdinand Foch
uttered his immortal words: Hard
pressed on my right.
My center is yielding.
Impossible to maneuver. Situation excellent.
I attack.
The best Mitt Romney
ad of the campaign is the
current spot on President
Lowry
Barack Obamas cuts to
Medicare. It points out
that the president took $700 billion from
Medicare to fund Obamacare, robbing
one unsustainable entitlement to create
a new one. The ad is truthful, unadorned
and — for any senior who feels protective
of Medicare — damning.
Never before have Democrats passed
the largest Medicare cuts in history
immediately prior to launching their
tried-and-true assault. This time, it is a
case of the pot calling the kettle a danger
to Americas seniors.
Confronted with Obamas Medicare
cuts, Democrats and their friends in the
media resort to denial.
On Meet the Press recently, I asked
Rachel Maddow if she supported the $700
billion in cuts, and she simply wouldnt
say. Here was the Oxford-educated pride
of liberal punditry professing to have no
opinion on a primary means of funding
what she considers a glorious legislative
achievement.
Others pooh-pooh the significance
of the cuts. They supposedly hit only
nonessential services. This may be the
first time in the debate over entitlements
that Democrats have deemed anything
related to Medicare nonessential.
What Democrats mean is that $156
billion of the cuts fall on the Medicare
Advantage program. They have always
hated this feature because it gives seniors
access to private-sector coverage options.
But seniors like it.
The Obama cuts also rely on grinding,
Is the Republicans

hypocritical? No. How – not
whether – to restrain Medicare
is the question. The Democratic
approach, now and in the future,
is blunt-force price controls.
year-after-year reductions in payments
to doctors and other providers. This is
a way to maintain that there are technically no changes in benefits, though
access to and quality of care inevitably
will be affected.
No one concerned with the health of
Medicare would go about it in this fashion. But Obamacare was helter-skelter
legislating, a desperate attempt to make
the numbers temporarily add up.
Medicares actuaries consistently
sound the alarm about the consequences. A May 2012 report by the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services said,
The large reductions in Medicare payments rates to physicians would likely
have serious implications for beneficiary
access to care.
Is the Republicans counter-assault
on Medicare hypocritical? No. How — not
whether — to restrain Medicare is the
question. The Democratic approach, now
and in the future, is blunt-force price
controls. Republicans want to get savings through competition and choice.
This is how the popular Medicare
prescription-drug program works. The
cost of the program is 40 percent below
projections, as James Capretta of the
Ethics and Public Policy Center points
out, and the $30 per-month premium is
only $6 more than in 2006.
Even if it stays on offense, the Romney
campaign is on perilous ground with
Medicare. But there is no heading back.
Best instead to take more inspiration
from old Ferdinand Foch: A battle won
is a battle which we will not acknowledge
to be lost.

Review.
On this sidewalk issue, why in the
world did we go down the west side

side all the way to Park Road and
cross there, because eventually youre
going to have to run it all the way out

for the benefit for the people in wheel

get to the businesses on the east side?
This had to be somebodys silly, silly
mistake down at the city hall.
Hi, I want to respond to the caller
in the Phone Forum last week who
has so many criticisms of the ethanol
plant. First of all, you say its closing
was predictable. If you predicted this
drought seven years ago I hope youre
a weatherman and not just some ditch
digger. Government subsidies dont
work? Tell that to the micro computer
industry that came out of NASA or
the nuclear power industry that came
out of the A-Bomb. Both were subsidized until private investors developed
their industries for worldwide benefit. Investors will lose their money?
Obviously youre not an investor or
youd know the investors have already
gotten their money back and then
some- it was a very lucrative investment. I doubt from your lack of facts
so far that youre any better at predicting future corn or fuel markets than I
am, so Ill bank on a firm maybe for
the future of the plant. Never mind
the money in salaries the plant paid
or in doing business with other local
companies, trucking companies, etc.it wasnt just the city making revenue
off the plant. What a loss it was to
the community that a person with
your insight chose to move out of the
county.
To the management of the City of
Garnett: Knowing going in with the
ethanol plant that it wasnt going to be
a long-lived company, you shouldnt
have counted on that income to be
ongoing. That money should have
been banked. Instead, you hire new
employees, you buy more vehicles
for employees to drive, you pay yourselves very large salaries. Why dont
you downsize, take a few pay cuts.
This used to be an affordable place to
live, but all you are doing is driving
people away.
Kansans behave at Republican convention
TAMPAThe people who put together
the Republican National Convention here
this week tried a new thing this year, letting delegates and alternates and their
friends mingle, snack, and yes, drink,
with the press corps at what was for
Republicans, a pretty good party at the
domed baseball stadium west of the city.
Now, this is the Republican National
Convention, and its job is to forget everything that happened before about midJune (like the early Kansas Republican
caucus where Rick Santorum ran away
with the Kansas delegation 33-7 last
spring before releasing his delegates to
support Romney sometime this week).
In the past 20 years, political parties
have segregated delegates and alternates
from the press. They partied separately
before the convention back in the days
when if you heard something newsworthy, or at least worth a headline for a
newspaper or television station that is
paying for the convention coverage, you
had to find a typewriter or at least a telephone to call it in.
Now, with the ability to just hold a
cellphone in the air and push a couple
buttons, you can get news, or whatever
a person who can afford a smartphone
believes is either news or just a gotcha, that mixing of press and delegates
is a fairly bold deal. Democrats arent

doing it this year at their convention in
Charlotte N.C. next week.
This is the week when any use of the word
legitimate perks the ears of reporters,
and when any mention of skinny-dipping sends hands into pockets searching
for that cellphone or for us older reporters trying to remember where we put the
pen and pad just in case news occurs.
So what happened Sunday night at
the Republican National Convention
party? Apparently, nothing dramatic.
The Kansas delegates and alternates and
their friends generally had a few drinks
and talked to each other and delegates
from other states, but there didnt appear
to be a gotcha that rippled through the
Internet on Facebook or Twitter that
showed up round the world.
Thats almost a surprise, and while
party officials toss around those nonsense
phrases including the words transparency and openness they actually took
a pretty sizable risk for the few thousand
dollars they saved by putting all their
guests in one baseball field and saving on
dual deliveries of ice.
Now the talk at the mixer was pretty
predictable. You could see the hard-right
delegates who are willing to settle for
Mitt Romney as long as Paul Ryan is on
the ticket, and the delegates who would
have been happy for someone more moderate, and those who were so stuck on a
campaign tag line that they really seemed
not to care who repeated the tag line.
Kansans so far are pretty well behaved
here as of Monday morning. Some are
obviously more conservative than others, but theyre not fighting about it in
public and most seem willing to can
the ruin Medicare/overspend the budget
lines until they vote for their nominee for
president and get back home and start
campaigning among real voters.

Guilt vs. gut: Assistant professor helps working Historical climatologist
studies climate effects
mothers find balance with exercise, children
MANHATTAN — Guilt is a
major obstacle working mothers face for staying active,
according to Emily Mailey. She
is a Kansas State University
assistant professor of kinesiology who researches and develops interventions to promote
physical activity among working mothers.
The level of physical activity among working moms is
quite low compared to a lot
of other populations because
there are so many barriers
that the moms are trying to
overcome, Mailey said. They
have very limited free time
because of work, family and
household responsibilities,
and on top of all that, they
feel guilty for taking time
away from their children to do
something for themselves.
As a full-time working
mother herself, Mailey understands the guilt factor and
other challenges many mothers face while balancing work,
children and an exercise regimen. She reminds herself that
spending 20-30 minutes is better than no exercise and she is
a better mom because of it.
Exercise is not selfish,
Mailey said. If you view exercise in the context of being less
stressed, having more energy
and setting a good example
for your kids, you realize that
youre actually benefiting
your family by doing something good for your mind and
body.
If the guilt is too strong to
separate mother from child,
she recommends incorporating children into the workout.
For infants or toddlers, she
said mothers can try a baby
circuit: doing push-ups over
the baby and kissing his or her
nose when going down; holding the baby while doing lunges; or sitting the baby on your
lap for situps. With school-age
kids, have a dance party to
lively music. With teenagers,
start a pedometer challenge
to see who can complete more
steps.
You eliminate the guilt factor because you are spending
time with them, and you feel
good that you are setting a
good example for them while
still getting in the exercise
that you want, Mailey said.
Time is another large barrier for many moms, Mailey
said. She recommends starting with small measurable
goals and scheduling exercise
on the calendar so its treated
as a priority. Being flexible
and creative are the keys to
achieving exercise goals when
unexpected events interfere
with exercise plans — as they
invariably do from time to
time, she said.
You dont have to go to a
gym and exercise for an hour,
Mailey said. You can break
it up throughout the day and
do 10 minutes here or there.
Always be thinking about
opportunities to keep moving.
We need to be able to redefine
exercise and think about it
more broadly.
Mailey recommends simple
changes throughout the day,
such as a 10-minute video
in the morning, a 10-minute
power walk over lunch and an
active game with the kids in
the evening.
That way you can still get
the recommended 30 minutes
each day without feeling like
it is cutting into your life or
schedule, Mailey said. Find
something you really enjoy
and create goals to stick with
it.
Although weight loss is one
of the largest motivators for
starting an exercise regimen,
Mailey tells mothers to focus
on benefits that can be enjoyed
immediately, like improved
self-confidence and feelings of
personal accomplishment.
I try to emphasize goals
that are focused on what you
are doing as opposed to an
outcome, Mailey said. Its
OK for weight loss to be a
motivator for exercise, but if
that is your only motive it is
really easy to get discouraged
early on if you are not getting
the results you want.
Different people use different strategies for meeting
their goals, Mailey said. Some
people use the buddy system
while others use pedometers
to track their progress. Some
women also find a set exercise
program helps them stay on
track.
A lot of the moms Ive
worked with have had success with the Couch to 5K
program because it provides
a set plan and youre working
toward an end goal, but it is
also flexible so you can progress at your own pace, Mailey
said. The program offers a way
for people to eventually work
up to running three miles on a
regular basis.
If personal benefits are not
enough, benefits in the workplace can also be a motivator.
Recent studies have shown the
benefits many people experience from an exercise regimen — such as clarity of mind,
confidence, increased memory and decreased afternoon
fatigue — can help improve job
performance.
One of common responses I hear from people is they
usually have more energy
throughout the day on the days
they exercise, Mailey said.
As a new mother myself, Im
not going to promise that you
arent going to still be exhausted by the end of the day, but I
do see an advantage of being
more focused at work.
Mailey said she will continue to develop programs to promote exercise among moms in
Manhattan and beyond.
have gone to the state and how
much, if any, to the county. The
project began in July 2011 and
was expected to be finished in
three to four months.
But the real problem with the
project wasnt the cost, Welsh
said. Because of the location
of the bridge, alternate routes
took motorists several miles
out of the way on roads that
werent meant to carry heavy
traffic loads. Every day that the
project wasnt finished meant
more inconvenience for local
motorists, and more wear and
tear on county roads.
Its not an easy place to
build a bridge, Welsh said.
A few more days, you would
think it wont matter, but it
does matter to the public when
they think its going to be open
and its not.
County counselor James
Campbell was instructed by
commissioners to find out
more information about the
countys options regarding
the bridge project. Campbell
said it appears the county has
no recourse but to accept the
states decision. However, he
suggests people contact their
legislators to ask for a mandate
requiring KDOT and other state
agencies to enforce penalties in
similar situations.
If (the state) is going to
engage in these things, they
need to protect the taxpayers, Campbell said. All they
did was cost taxpayers more
money.

Anderson County Junior
Senior High School was expected to have about the same number of students as last year,

only one in the district to fall

at Kansas State University,
Browning-Garriss said she
expects La Nia conditions
to dissipate, and El Nio conditions to develop within the
month of August, bringing welcome relief for many producers
throughout the U.S.
El Nio is an oscillating
ocean current pattern that
tends to shift winds and moisture eastward, bringing cooler
temperatures and much needed
moisture in from the Pacific.
Typically El Nios are good
news for agriculture in the U.S.,
Brazil and Argentina, while
increasing drought risks in
other parts of the world, such as
northern China, India, Pakistan
and northern South America.

She makes predictions such
as this based on examinations
of 100,000 years worth of yearly
weather records found in nature.
She searches for a 5-year period
exhibiting similar traits to what
the world is currently experiencing in terms of natural factors shaping the weather. Then
she looks at what follows that
5-year period, saying there is an
80 percent chance of a similar
trend developing.
Im not making a future projection; Im giving people perspective, she said.
Browning-Garriss said the
world has been experiencing
La Nia conditions for the past
couple years, combined with a
shifting pattern of ocean currents known to climatologists
as a Pacific Decadal Oscillation
(PDO). A changing PDO tends to
magnify the effects of La Nia.
PDOs make the western U.S.
a little drier, she said, but
when you add on a La Nia, you
get the kind of drought we saw
in Texas.
Historically, a changing PDO
tends to reduce production and
drive up prices of mid-latitude
crops, with little effect on tropical crops. Browning-Garriss
said it typically takes a society
about 10 years to adjust to the
rainfall patterns of a new PDO
and for crop prices to stabilize.
With the incoming El Nio, it
might be possible to start seeing
change sooner though.
I expect when El Nio fully
develops, youll start to see production increase and prices go
down, she said.

Specialist gives tips for applying anhydrous
ammonia to wheat fields in dry conditions
MANHATTAN. As producers
start thinking about anhydrous
application for wheat this fall,
extremely dry soils can be a
concern, said Dave Mengel, KState Research and Extension
soil fertility specialist. The
question often is, when the soil
is dry, will it hold anhydrous
ammonia or will some or most
of the ammonia be lost shortly
after application?
Three factors help determine
whether ammonia might be lost
after application under dry conditions, Mengel said.
The first is how quickly
the ammonia gas is converted
within the soil to a non-gaseous
form that will stay in the soil.
Ammonia gas needs to
react with water shortly after
application in order to convert
into ammonium, which is the
molecule that can attach to clay
and organic matter in the soil,
Mengel said.
Converting from gaseous
ammonia to the less-volatile
ammonium ion takes a little
time it does not occur immediately upon contact with the soil,
he explained.
The higher the soil temperature and the wetter the soil,
the more rapid the conversion
occurs. If the ammonia does not
react with water, it will remain
as a gas that could escape from
the soil. Also, a higher percentage of the ammonia will remain
unconverted in the soil longer
at higher application rates and
at higher soil pH levels, he
said.
The second factor to consider
is how rough and open the dry
soil is, Mengel said.
Dry soils may be cloddy,
with large air spaces where the
soil has cracked. This can allow
the gas to physically escape into
the air before it has a chance to
be converted into ammonium,
the agronomist said. Getting
the soil sealed properly above
the injection slot can also be a
problem in dry soils.
The third factor is the amount
of ammonia that might be lost,
which depends on application
depth, he said. The deeper the
ammonia is applied, the more
likely the ammonia will have
moisture to react with, and the
easier the sealing.
So, can anhydrous ammonia
be applied to dry soils?
Yes, the soil fertility specialist said, as long as the
ammonia is applied deep
enough to get it in some moisture and the soil is well sealed
above the injection slot. If the
soil is dry and cloddy, there
may be considerable losses of
ammonia within just a few days
of application if the soil is ot
well sealed above the injection
slot or the injection point is too
shallow.
Producers should be able to
tell if anhydrous is escaping
from the soil during application or if the ammonia isnt
being applied deeply enough.
If ammonia can be smelled, the
producer should either change
the equipment setup to get better sealing or deeper injection,
or wait until the soil has better
moisture conditions, he said.
Mengel said producers can
minimize loss of ammonia
when applied to dry soils by:
Applying the anhydrous
ammonia at the proper depth
(at least 6 to 8 inches in 30- to
40-inch spacings);
Using covering disks behind
the knives or sealing wings
(beaver tails) on the knives;
and
Applying the anhydrous
ammonia at least one to two
weeks before planting. This
waiting period should be even
longer if soils are very dry.
MANHATTAN
While it
seems simple, for many beef
producers, the secret to success
and profit lies in knowing the
operations objective and mapping out a plan to get there.
At the recent 2012 K-State
Beef Conference held at Kansas
State University, Chip Ramsay,
general manager of Rex Ranch
in western Nebraska, advised
producers to inventory their
resources and consider the end
goals of their operation before
making management decisions.
Seldom do beef producers
have the opportunity to create something from nothing,
Ramsay said at the conference.
Most of us inherit something
and we have to take inventory
to determine what we have,
because that makes a difference
in where we want to head, he
said.
Ramsay has taken his own
advice in managing Rex Ranch,
letting the inventory and business objectives shape decisions
related to grazing management,
feeding, culling, breeding, calving and more.
One of the ranchs overarching goals is to lower cost of production while producing a calf
that performs well for both the
feedyard and the packer. The
ranch manager tries to reach
this goal by selecting replacement females from cows that
produce desirable weaning
weights, pregnancy rates, have
low labor needs and make efficient use of range resources.
Bulls for the ranch are selected from cows that thrive in
their environment and exhibit
excellent post-weaning performance.
Ramsay also advised producers to do research on
their options and seek advice
from experts as they plan and
explore management options.
Ramsay emphasized to
producers the importance of
working from a ranch plan.
Producers should write down
their breeding objectives, inventory and research findings.
They should also keep record
of their inputs and outcomes,
as these become the basis for
building or modifying the plan
in successive years.
Its tough to write things
down, especially in our industry
because our biggest strength is
our flexibility, Ramsay said.
We dont know whats going to
be thrown at us each day. Weve
made our living because we are
able to adapt.
While it is difficult at times
for producers to identify and
nail down a direction they want
to go, it is essential to moving
forward. Just because a goal or
direction is written down does
not mean it cannot be changed,
Ramsay said. It will be crucial
to reevaluate and adapt along
the way.

Parents can help kids make their homework time more productive
MANHATTAN — Homework
may be the last thing your child
wants to do, but a Kansas State
University education expert
says encouraging the habit of
homework is important.
Laurie Curtis, assistant
professor of curriculum and
instruction at the College of
Education, said doing homework helps children learn how
to prioritize tasks and helps
develop self-discipline.
Homework leads children
toward a path of independence, said Curtis, a former
elementary school teacher.
The important thing to
remember is that the type of
work the child is doing must be
appropriate. Homework should
not require the child to struggle
through something brand new
with an expectation that a parent will teach a child a concept.
It should be a time for a child
to practice something he or
she understands conceptually
in order for it to be done with
more ease and accuracy.
To keep children on track
when doing homework, its
beneficial for them to find a
quiet place equipped with the
tools needed and to have access
to a parent or older sibling in
case questions arise. Curtis also
recommends parents attend
back-to-school orientations
where teachers often explain
their homework policy, and its
important to read classroom
newsletters for information
about work being done in the
class.
Curtis said many issues can
affect a childs ability to successfully complete homework,
including being tired, hungry,
frustrated by the difficulty of
the work, or being distracted
by the fun somebody may be
having in the next room.
It is really critical that
homework is not seen as punishment or something that you
have to do instead of having
fun, she said. Families may
even consider establishing a
quiet time where everybody is
reading or doing work of some
kind during a brief time each
evening.
But if a child continually
struggles with homework,
Curtis said parents should
never hesitate to talk to the
childs teacher.
Sometimes parents can provide too much help.
Its important that parents
do not do a childs project or
homework because the one
doing the work is the one learning, Curtis said. The only lesson learned by a parent doing
a childs work is that the child
loses confidence in his or her
own abilities to independently
complete the task assigned.
While the grade might be bet-
ter in the short term due to
a parents professional touch,
the child will know that that
grade was not earned through
his or her own efforts — even at
a young age.
If asked, giving suggestions
is fine, but Curtis said parents
shouldnt take over. Allowing
the child to maintain ownership of the work at all times is
important.
To maintain a childs positive attitude about homework,
parents might want to refrain
from questioning a child about
assigned homework first thing
each night.
I think its more important
that a parent first ask what
new ideas the child heard
about, what good book he or
she heard about in the library,
etc., before the homework question is asked, Curtis said. It
establishes a more positive tone
about school. Rather than ask-
ing that yes/no question about
having any homework, perhaps
asking, What do you need to
do to get ready for tomorrow
at school, might cause a child
to think about assigned homework bit more.
Many classroom teachers
and school districts use agendas or journals where children
can record necessary tasks to
be done at home. Curtis said
parents can use these as a way
to communicate back and forth
with the teacher as well.
These can facilitate good
home-school communication,
she said. Many districts today
also use parent portals or Webbased communication through
the school district that allow
parents to view grades, homework assignments, work that
has not been turned in and
upcoming events for students
to prepare for.
When it comes to older chil-
dren and homework, Curtis
said that parents shouldnt
be surprised if their kids are
spending more time online. She
said a growing trend is a model
of instruction called the flipped
classroom.
The flipped classroom is
the concept of students gaining
content information through
online or other forms of information acquisition while at
home prior to the classroom
period, and then using the
classroom period to have the
teacher expand on the information and do collaborative
activities when face-to-face,
she said. Much of the teaching
is done via technology in the
home environment. This could
certainly change the definition
we have of homework.
School meal program reforming to heighten nutritional standards
MANHATTAN — Schools
have resumed for many of the
nations youth and one change
parents may notice is healthier
meals offered in their childrens
school meals program.
The passage of the Healthy,
Hunger-Free Kids Act in
December 2010 helped usher in
more changes to what children
are served at school, according
to a Kansas State University
school nutrition expert.
There has been a real push
to increase the amount of fresh
fruits and vegetables served to
children and a move to purchase
local foods from local farmers,
said Jeannie Sneed, head of the
department of hospitality management and dietetics in the
universitys College of Human
Ecology. Many schools offer
lots of choices so that children can select foods that they
enjoy.
Congress reauthorizes child
nutrition programs every five
years, which precipitated passage of The Healthy, HungerFree Kids Act. The legislation
included many provisions that
improved access to nutrition
assistance programs, required
compliance to new meal pattern and nutrition standards,
emphasized school wellness
policies, provided grants and
instituted a series of other
reforms related to meal pricing
and food safety.
A new menu pattern will be
implemented this year for the
School Breakfast Program and
the National Lunch Program.
The reforms will be phased in
over the next 10 years. The new
meal pattern emphasizes the
consumption of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and pro-
vides both minimum and maximum calorie levels for children
at various grades. Increasingly
lower sodium levels also will be
phased in.
During the 2012-201313 and
2013-2014 school years, half of
all grains served must be whole
grains. By 2014-2015, all must be
whole grain.
We wont see any traditional white bread in the school
meals program, Sneed said.
Fruit servings will increase
to five cups per week as part of
the new meal pattern. Another
requirement will be for five
cups of vegetables to be served
weekly. All flavored milks will
have to be fat-free and low-fat,
unflavored milk can be served.
The number of times starchy
vegetables such as corn and
potatoes can be served has also
been reduced substantially.
The importance of reforms
in meals programs cannot be
underestimated, according to
Sneed.
There has been a trend
toward increasing obesity in
children and an increase in
metabolic diseases such as diabetes, so it is important to provide healthy choices for children in schools, she said.
Despite
the
extensive
reforms, Sneed said many
schools have done a great job
at providing nutritional options
for children.
Many schools employ
dietitians who evaluate the
foods served to make sure
they meet nutritional requirements for children, she said.
Further, the U.S. Department
of Agriculture has made concerted efforts to improve programs.
In 2011 the USDA awarded
Kansas State University funding to establish a Center of
Excellence for Food Safety
Research in Child Nutrition
Programs. The center is working to provide the scientific
basis for decisions related to
food safety in the program.
But reforming school meals
programs is only part of a process that can help curtail child-
hood obesity, Sneed said.
Children only eat a small
percentage of their meals each
year at school, she said. Its
important for parents to take
responsibility to learn about
nutrition and provide their
children with healthy choices.
Parents also need to model
appropriate eating behaviors
for their children.

Kansas has 19 cases
of West Nile virus
TOPEKAThe
Kansas
Department of Health and
Environment (KDHE) today
learned that there are five confirmed cases of West Nile Virus
(WNV) in the state. Health officials here say an additional 14
cases reported are probable. Of
the 19 total cases reported in
Kansas, one patient has died
due to West Nile Virus.
Sadly, someone in Kansas
has died due to West Nile
virus disease. In many places
around the country, including
Kansas, cases are on the rise.
We want to bring this to everyones attention as we expect an
increase in this disease before
winter is here, and we strongly
encourage the use of methods
that prevent mosquito bites,
said Robert Moser, M.D., KDHE
Secretary and State Health
Officer.
As of noon today, Aug. 24, the
case count by county in Kansas
is: Sedgwick-12, Douglas-1,
Harvey-1,
Pottowatomie-1,
Reno-1, Stafford-1, Sumner-1
and Trego-1. No other details
about the patients or the one
death will be provided at this
time.
West Nile Virus can be
spread to people through bites
from infected mosquitoes,
but it is not contagious from
person to person. Symptoms
range from a slight headache
and low-grade fever to swelling of the brain or brain tissue
and in rare cases, death. People
who have had West Nile virus
before are considered immune.
KDHE recommends the following precautions to protect
against West Nile Virus:
When you are outdoors,
use insect repellent containing
an EPA-registered active ingredient on skin and clothing,
including DEET, picaridin, oil
of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535.
Follow the directions on the
package.
Many mosquitoes are most
active at dusk and dawn. Be
sure to use insect repellent and
wear long sleeves and pants at
these times or consider staying
indoors during these hours.
Make sure you have good
screens on your windows and
doors to keep mosquitoes out.
Get rid of mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing
water from flower pots, buckets
and barrels. Change the water
in pet dishes and replace the
water in bird baths weekly.
Drill holes in tire swings so
water drains out. Keep childrens wading pools empty and
on their sides when they arent
being used.
Cases are most common in
the late summer and early fall
months. In 2011, one confirmed
case of West Nile virus was
reported in Kansas. The threeyear median for WNV for 20082010 was five cases. Incidences
declined sharply after 2003;
this is likely due to acquired
immunity through exposure to
the virus.
Birds are not tested for
West Nile Virus in Kansas and
KDHE will not be collecting
information about dead birds.
If you find a dead bird, KDHE
recommends that you wear
gloves, place the bird in a plastic bag, and dispose of it in the
garbage.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention provides this web page with
additional information about
West Nile Virus and preventing mosquito bites: http://

Local RN Attends Leadership Institute
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 08-21-2012 / Photo Submitted
The KHA Leadership Institute Class of 2012 included Clayton Bledsoe, RN Anderson County Hospital, is second from the end
on the front row.
KHA Leadership Institute graduates 29 health care leaders
The KHA Leadership Institute
graduated its eleventh class of 29 students, including a nurse from Anderson
County Hospital, on Aug. 17 at the
Critical Issues Summit in Wichita,
Kansas. Students were nominated by
their hospitals CEO to be part of this
select group. They represent the future
leaders of Kansas hospitals.
Clayton Bledsoe, an RN from
Anderson County Hospital, was part of
the class.
Helping to build future health care
leaders is important to the Kansas
Hospital Association. We are committed to strengthening and promoting the leadership capacity of hospital
employees in Kansas, said Tom Bell,
president and CEO of KHA. The KHA
Leadership Institute was established
to help hospitals provide professional
development opportunities that accentuate the personal skills and abilities
needed to facilitate positive change and
innovation in Kansas
hospitals.
The 2012 Leadership Institute class
was diverse. They represented a wide
geographic distribution of hospitals
from St. Francis to Lawrence and
Pittsburg to Meade there was representation from all parts of the state.
Students had been working in health
care for as little as one year to more
than 20 years. Several students have
been in management positions for more
than 10 years while others were brand
new to management positions. Some
students also are supervisors, supervising a range of employees, from a few to
40 employees.
It is important to note that the students nominated to participate in this
program were not selected because
they needed to learn management
skills. They were nominated because
their CEO recognized their potential
to be future leaders and wanted to help
cultivate that development. Each one
of these students made a personal and
professional commitment to expand
their skills by attending all six courses
of the Leadership Institute.
The curriculum was structured to
enhance each students leadership abilities. Course #1 focused on explaining
the difference between leadership and
management, identifying organizational values and creating a positive organizational climate. Course #2 focused on
enhancing communication skills and
examining ethics. Course #3 focused on
team building – including how to lead
a team and how to be part of a team.
Course #4 examined conflict and how
to effectively manage it. Courses #5
and #6 were at the KHA Critical Issues
Summit.
Students learned about governance
and the challenges facing health care in
the future.
Blue-green algae still an issue
TOPEKA – The Kansas
Department of Health and
Environment (KDHE) samples
recreational bodies of water
for cyanobacteria, commonly
called blue-green algae, when
the agency is alerted to a potential algae bloom.
When harmful algal blooms
are present, KDHE, in cooperation with the Kansas
Department of Wildlife, Parks
and Tourism and other lake
managers where appropriate,
responds by informing the public of these conditions. Based
upon sampling results and
established health risk levels,
the following Warnings and
Advisories are in place.
KDWPT reminds visitors
that when a lake is under an
Advisory or Warning, marinas,
lakeside businesses, and park
camping facilities remain open
for business, although swim
beaches will be closed. Park
drinking water and showers
are safe and not affected by the
algae bloom. Also, it is safe to
eat fish caught during a harmful blue-green algae outbreak,
as long as consumers clean and
rinse the fish with clean, potable
water; consume only the fillet
portion; and discard all other
parts. People should also wash
their hands with clean, potable
water after handling fish taken
from an affected lake.
As a result of this weeks
water sampling, the health advisory has been lifted at Antioch
Park Lake (South), Johnson
County.
When an advisory has been
lifted, health officials say visitors to the lake should still exercise caution and look out for
algae blooms in the water, as
conditions can change quick-
ly depending on the weather.
Some algae blooms can look
like foam, or a thick slurry.
The blooms can be blue, bright
green, brown or red, and they
may look like paint floating
on the water. However, some
blooms may not affect the
appearance of the water.

Gov. Brownback signs order to expedite
hay delivery in drought-stricken Kansas
TOPEKA Kansas Governor
Sam Brownback issued an executive order Thursday to temporarily suspend certain motor carrier
rules and regulations in order
to expedite the delivery of hay
to livestock in drought-stricken
areas. Executive Order 12-11,
which supersedes executive order
12-06, only applies to individuals
who are hauling hay to livestock
in drought stricken areas.
Our entire state is in an emergency situation with the historic
drought of 2012. Livestock producers need the ability to efficiently and safely deliver hay for
their animals, Gov. Brownback
said. With the amount and quality of forage available in pastures declining at rapid rates,
this executive order will provide
relief to Kansas livestock farmers and ranchers and deliver necessary feed to livestock across
the state.
The order temporarily suspends requirements for reg-
istration and fuel tax permits
from the Kansas Department of
Revenue and licensing, certification and permitting rules and
regulations as required by the
Kansas Corporation Commission.
Participating motor carriers are
only allowed to operate during
daylight hours and must comply with flag, sign and lighting
requirements for over-width
vehicles. Additionally, participating motor carriers are not
allowed to drive during inclement weather conditions.
Participating motor carriers
are limited to a load that does not
exceed 12 feet in width and does
not exceed a height of 14 feet, six
inches. Under normal circumstances, haulers are required to
obtain a permit for loads exceeding 8.5 feet in width and 14 feet in
height.
All other applicable state and
federal regulations continue to
apply, including the requirement
to have a valid drivers license.
Executive Order 12-11 is in effect
until it is rescinded or until
drought emergency disaster declarations are lifted.
I appreciate the ongoing cooperative efforts among Governor
Brownback, other state agencies, the federal government and
local communities to respond to
and recover from this drought,
Kansas Secretary of Agriculture
Dale Rodman said. While we
cannot predict when this drought
will end, we can do everything
possible today to assure Kansans
have access to the recourses they
need. We are committed to doing
all we can to help farmers and
ranchers adapt and recover today
but also to plan for the future.
In other drought related
action, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture designated Marshall
County Wednesday as a primary
federal natural disaster area.
The move puts all 105 counties
on the USDAs natural disaster
list.
Initiative to combat, prevent gang involvement
KANSAS CITY, Kan. Kansas
Attorney
General
Derek
Schmidt today announced a
new initiative to combat gang
activity in Kansas.
Gang Free Kansas is a new
educational initiative led by
the Kansas Attorney Generals
Office, Kansas Bureau of
Investigation and law enforcement officials from across the
state to combat the growth of
criminal gangs, Schmidt said.
We need the support of parents, educators, young people
and communities to help prevent youth from joining gangs
and to report gang activity to
law enforcement.
Schmidt said the goals of
the initiative are to keep youth
from joining gangs and to educate the community on ways to
identify and report gang activity to law enforcement. Schmidt

Sports attire has come a long way
School days are here and that
means football and volleyball
season is here too. Have you
ever given any thought to that
early sports attire?
Because of their innate
modesty, women were slow to
adopt sports attire and played
all manner of games in long,
full skirts that seldom revealed
an ankle and sometimes swept
the ground, although for croquet, archery and skating, one
fashion authority of the late
1880s advocated a short skirt
displaying a handsomely fitted,
but stout, boot.
With the voluminous skirts
were worn long-sleeved, highnecked shirt waists and smallwaisted jackets that obviously
required tight corsets. Womens
sleeves usually were long
whether the sport was tennis,
bowls, horseback riding, ice
skating, snow shoeing, badminton, croquet, row boating,
canoeing, sail boating, yachting
or golf.
The authority added that
the hat should have a broad
brim so as to shield the face
from the sun and render a parasol unnecessary. The straw hat
was favored for sailing and various other sports.
Only in gymnastics, ordinar-

ily practiced in the privacy of a
gymnasium from which male
spectators were barred, did the
young ladies shed their skirts
in favor of bloomers and even
then they wore high-necked,
long-sleeved blouses and long
stockings.
Society games, such as
indoor badminton, sometimes
were played by both sexes in
formal attire.
Later on, as women began
to compete more seriously in
golf and tennis, skirts were
shortened, half-sleeves began to
appear, and necklines dropped a
bit, but the fashionable society
golfer of the feminine sex still
might appear in a starched collar and tie and a broad-brimmed
hat.
Male sportsmen quickly
adopted the tight, short knick-
ers with long stockings for all
of the vigorous sports football,
bicycling, hare-and-hounds,
distance and cross country
running, lacrosse, baseball,
etc. They usually wore hats or
caps and for the most part long
sleeves.
Later, for tennis, the colorful blazer and white flannels
became standard equipment
with cap, tie and blazer all
matching.
Numerous changes have
been made in football attire.
The turtle-necked jersey and
the canvas vest have disappeared while the head guard
has replaced the long hair
worn to protect the head from
injury. The awkward rubber
nose guard has been replaced
by a special protector attached
to the head guard. Elbow pads
and shin guards were unknown
today, unless a player has an
injury to be protected at those
points.
While volunteer fire fighting
was a serious matter, it also had
its sporting aspects in the early
days when men of substance
belonged to the fire companies
and would turn out for a fire in
high beaver hats, frilled shirt
fronts, and long-tailed coats,
plus high rubber boots.

The long nurtured relationship between Garnett and the
Kansas Municipal Energy Agency
finally ended in divorce. KMEA
had began as a giant agency that
would have bought power shares
from a number of power plants,
including wolf Creek. Member
cities, such as Garnett, would
have been partners in the agency.
When it came time to decide on
that proposal, too many cities
felt there were too many variable
in the 40-year contract. KMEA
wanted the member cities to sign
to continue on that path. KMEA
returned with a proposal to work
as a power broker for cities. What
KMEA was offering the city was
not cheaper energy, but price stability. If the city had opted to go
with it, Garnett would have signed
a contract to purchase energy,
probably 2,000 kw, for 15 years
with options for up to 40 years.
Two topics of discussion at the

Do you, like Abram, believe?
In the 15th chapter of
Genesis we read about Gods
covenant with Abram. Abram
has just returned from rescuing Lot who was taken captive
by the five kings who seized
all the goods of Sodom and
Gomorrah and captured Lot
as well.
Abram pursues the kings
and rescues Lot, his nephew
as well as all the goods. In
Genesis 15:1 we read, After
this the word of the LORD
came to Abram in a vision.
God offers Abram the promise of a son and vast lands.
When Abram questions God
as to how he can be certain
of this God makes a covenant
with Abram. God himself
guarantees the validity of the
covenant and we read in verse
6, Abram believed the LORD,
and he (the LORD) credited
it to him as righteousness.
This is a critical text as it
explains what Abram did. He
believed God.
This points to the vast difference between Christianity
and other religions. In all other

religions you must do something to be saved. Christianity
proclaims to you it is not up to
you to do something, in fact
you cant be saved by doing
anything. This clearly illustrates we are saved by grace
alone, through faith alone, by
Christ alone, just as Abram
was. This desire to do or perform some work to be saved is
the very reason that living for
the glory of God has become a
motto we quote instead of the
description of our life. It is
because we fail to understand
the foundation and framework
of our salvation is fulfilled by
God alone. Paul explains in
Ephesians 2:8-9, For it is by
grace you have been saved,
through faith-and this not
of yourselves, it is the gift of
God-not by works, so that no
one can boast.
When you are brought
to Jesus Christ born again,
adopted and justified it will
inevitably lead to a changed
life and you will begin to glorify God. Old things pass
away, behold new things
come. However we need to
understand that not one thing
in this new life causes you to
be any more justified or right
with God than you were the
moment you were born again.
The new things that come are
done to the glory of God not to
our own glory.
This covenant between God
and Abram carries through
the Old Testament and finds
its fulfillment in the New
Testament in the birth, life,
death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. In John
14:1 Jesus says, Believe in
God, believe also in me. Do
you believe?

Photo Submitted
Trey Ahring, age 14 of
Garnett, competed in the
Christian
Youth
Rodeo
Association Finals Aug. 1819 in Burlington. He is in the
Junior Steer riding division.
Trey placed 2nd on Saturday,
Aug. 18, scoring a 70, and

These scores gave him 1st
place in the average competition where he competed
against 10 other riders. Trey

Ahring of Garnett.
Kansas named top 10 Pro-Business State
Pollina Corporate Real
Estate Inc. announced that
Kansas has been named a top 10
Pro-Business State for 2012.
The annual ranking is compiled
by Pollina, a global real estate
brokerage and consulting firm,
and the American Economic
Development Institute. The
ranking is based on 32 factors
controlled by state government, including taxes, human
resources, education, right-towork legislation, energy costs,
infrastructure spending, workers compensation laws, economic incentive programs and
state economic development
efforts.
It is nice to receive this recognition as one of the top states
for business, said Kansas
Commerce Secretary Pat
George. We have worked diligently over the past 18 months
to create an environment that
will encourage business expansion and job growth in our
state.
The top 10 states for 2012 are:
CHS
6X9
1. Utah; 2. Virginia; 3. Wyoming;
4. North Dakota; 5. Indiana; 6;
Nebraska; 7. South Dakota; 8.
Kansas; 9. Missouri; and 10.
Oklahoma.
George cited the enactment
of major tax reform that eliminated most non-wage income
on small businesses and lowered tax rates for individual
Kansans as a major boost to
the states efforts to expand the
economy and add jobs.
Kansas has gone from one
of the highest taxed states in
the region to one of the lowest,
George said. The elimination
of taxes on non-wage income is
going to really help the 191,000
small businesses in Kansas
grow. Thats what we need to
get our economy growing.
Brent Pollina, vice president of Pollina Corporate Real
Estate and co-author of the
ranking, said that Kansas has
proved why it has a reputation
for understanding the needs of
business. In 2004, Kansas was
ranked No. 23 in the survey.
[Kansas]
consistent
approach to creating a pro-business environment has paid off
because the state has continuously adapted and changed to
fit the needs of business, refusing to sit back and rely on past
success, Pollina said. Pollina
also praised the states economic development tools as an asset
in recruiting companies.
Since January 2011, there
have been almost 21,000 jobs created, almost 4,000 jobs retained
and $2.8 billion in capital investment in the state, according to
Department data.
In addition to the recognition
by Pollina, Area Development
magazine recently gave a Silver
Shovel Award to Kansas. The
award recognizes state economic development agencies that
drive significant job creation.
Forbes also ranked Kansas 12th
in the publications most recent
Best States for Business
report.
