Southern Star eyes $141 million local Christmas quiet
project with new gas line construction for local cops
But state troopers
see jump in traffic,
speeders over holiday
Project would abandon two 30+ mile
sections of old line, rebuild new larger
diameter line to replace them

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WELDA Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline has filed
an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission to abandon two thirty-plus mile sections
of gas pipeline between Ottawa and Welda, and replace
those with a single 36-inch line the company will construct.
The estimated project cost is $141 million.
Company officials who returned calls from the Review
Friday were not able to discuss the particulars of the
project, but some details were available from the project
application and from FERC officials the Review reached
Friday in Washington, D.C.
The company filed the application Dec. 21 after having
performed the site inspections and other site specific
studies in the summer and fall of 2018. The project will
entail constructing the 36-inch gas line from Ottawa to
Welda, then retiring or abandoning the two existing
smaller lines 20-inch and 26-inch which currently
transport gas between the two locations.
Craig Cano, a spokesman with the FERC in
Washington, said it was likely the application would be
reviewed after the holiday, and that public comments
would be heard on the project during a 30-day period
after the filing while the FERC considers the application.
Southern Star officials said in the application the project is part of Southern Stars Modernization Program
to continue and enhance pipeline safety, address aging
infrastructure, and increase customer service reliability. The project doesnt propose any change to Southern
Stars certificated capacity, the application said.
Company officials werent available Friday to comment on the anticipated timetable or project completion
of the project, or on the anticipated local economic
impact the $141 million project might entail for the local
area.
The application said habitat assessments for the

TOPEKA While local streets
were pretty quiet during the
Christmas holiday weekend,
it was a different story on
the highways of the State of
Kansas.
Heads of local law enforcement in Garnett and Anderson
County said things were pretty sedate locally. County sheriff Vern Valentine was even
afraid talking about the calm
might jinx it.
I dont want this to come
back and haunt us, he said
but it has been extremely
calm throughout the holidays. He said the department
had one drug arrest during the
period, and that even the deer
seemed to be finished with
the rut because vehicle/deer
accidents had dropped off from
recent weeks as well.
But it was a different story
on the states major highways.
A report from the Kansas
A diagram included with Southern Stars federal project application
shows the portions of the project to be abandoned and the portion of
new construction to replace them.

Highway Patrol showed speed
citations hit 1,000 over the
weekend compared to 627 in
2017 and 646 in 2016.
There were a number of
factors that contributed to
that, said Technical Trooper
Steve Larow with KHP. Larow
said with Christmas falling on
Tuesday many drivers had a
four-day holiday which meant
more time driving. Coupled
with a lower price for gasoline
and a 51-degree high temperature on Christmas Day, the
factors were right for travel.
Larow said KHP staffs
roughly the same number of
troopers over the Christmas
holidays year-to-year, so the
manpower applied to enforcement was about the same as in
Christmases past.
The report showed other
notable increases in 2018,
including speed warnings
issued 956 compared to 599
last year and 621 in 2016; adult
citations for seat belts 104
compared to 48 in each of
the two preceding years, and
motorist assist calls 838 compared to 690 last year and 771
in 2016.
Firemen get several calls
over run-up to Christmas
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT While law officers
in the county reported a pretty
slow Christmas holiday weekend, local firefighters have
worked a number of local incidents over the past week or so,
according to Anderson County
Fire Chief Mick Brinkmeyer.
Brinkmeyer said county
firefighters responded to a
possible structure fire Dec. 19
about 11 p.m. at 21318 NW 1550
road. Upon arrival no flames
were showing to the outside
but light smoke was seen
going from the attic vents.
Firefighters entered the home
and found flames in the attic,
then pulled down ceiling tiles
in a nearby room and got to
the base of the fire. He said
the fire was extinguished and
fire damage limited to the one
room. It was believed to have
been caused by electrical wiring. Fire Departments from
Garnett, Welda and Harris
responded.
Firemen responded to
another call Dec. 23 at about
8:45 p.m. at 25309 NW Mitchell
Road. Upon arrival a small
shed, about 10×16 feet, was
fully involved in flames.
Firefighters contained the fire
to the area of the building.
Building was a total loss. The
fire was believed to have been
kindled by someone burning
garden debris nearby earlier
in the day. Fire departments
from Garnett, Welda and
Harris responded.
Two small grass fires were
reported Christmas Day, one
about 12:30 p.m. 900 and U.S.
169 put out by Welda Station,
and a second which occurred
at about 5:16 p.m. at S. 169
and Park Rd., extinguished by
Garnett Station.
Firefighters also responded
Dec. 26 to what was at first
thought to be a vehicle fire at
U.S. 169 and 1300 Road, but the
smoke was determined to be
coming from locked up trailer breaks. Welda and Garnett
units responded.

Community Board Leadership
workshops designed to provide
basic training for members
of community-based boards
across the state on February 5,

and committees in our Kansas
communities.

member. Whether you are a

explore how personalities and
generational differences affect
the decision-making process,
and learn how to manage conflict in a way that is productive, not destructive, to the
board.
Strategic Planning will be
the final topic on February 26.
Participants will learn about
establishing a common mission and vision for the board,
and how to plan priorities for
the future.
All sessions will be conducted from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

January is Human Trafficking
Awareness Month in Kansas
Governor Jeff Colyer today
proclaimed January to be
Human Trafficking Awareness
Month in Kansas.
In a ceremonial signing
in the governors office, Lt.
Gov. Tracey Mann was joined
by Attorney General Derek
Schmidt and Secretary of
Corrections Joe Norwood.
Representatives from the
Kansas Department of Labor
(KDOL) and the Department of
Children and Families (DCF)
also were in attendance.
Human trafficking is one of
the largest and fastest-growing criminal industries in the
world. It is based on recruiting, harboring and transporting people for the purpose of
exploitation. Both sex trafficking and labor trafficking occur
in Kansas and both adults and
children are victims. Kansas
location and interstate system
make it a major transportation
area for victims of human trafficking.
As part of ongoing efforts
to combat human trafficking,
we need to address what drives
the demand for trafficking
victims the money spent by
those who buy sex, Schmidt
said. Focusing on discouraging the demand for commercial
sex acts is our current priority.
Our goal is to foster a culture
in Kansas in which the buying
and selling of human beings for
anothers sexual gratification
is not acceptable.
Schmidt said the public can
assist by reporting suspicious
activity to the national hotline
at 888-3737-888 or to local law
enforcement in an emergency
situation.
The watchful eyes of
Kansas citizens can help protect those who are vulnerable
from this crime against human
dignity, he said.
In July, Schmidt and representatives from more than
60 partnering organizations
across the state launched the
Demand an End initiative,
which targets the buyers
of commercial sex who create the demand for sex traf-
ficking. Demand an End is a
sex trafficking-specific public
awareness campaign driven
by a demand-focused approach
and designed to complement
and build upon legislative initiatives to deter buyers and
reduce the demand for commercial sex.
To sign the petition to
Demand an End to sex buying,
visit http://DemandAnEnd.
KS.gov. A list of partnering
organizations can also be found
at the link provided.
The governor along with the
attorney generals office, DCF,
KDHE, KDOC and KDOL are
working together to educate
Kansans about the presence
of human trafficking, what
to look for and how to report
suspected human trafficking.
Educational information is
provided on the agencies websites.

human trafficking, go to http://

vegetative species common

general habitat conditions, and
species of concern that may

anyone reading this article can
identify with this. It is possible
to feel lonely in a crowd or lonely
in a family setting.
Loneliness can be defined in
many ways but if you had to use
one word to describe loneliness I
believe separation would be best.
The times in my life when I have
been the most lonely are when I
have been separated from someone or something I loved. In
scripture many great men of God
spent lonely times in their lives,
times of separation.
David after being anointed
king spent some seventeen years
hiding in the desert as King Saul
tracked and hunted him like an
animal. Moses spent forty years
on the back side of the desert
after spending the first forty
years of his life in the court of
Pharaoh. The great Apostle Paul
spent three years in the Arabian
desert. Paul also spent the end of
his life in a dungeon being held
as a prisoner by the Roman government. Billy Graham stated he
had spent many a lonely day but
never a day alone.

Safe New Years celebration tips
for revelers and party hosts
As Kansans prepare for
New Years celebrations, AAA
Kansas is reminding drivers
and passengers alike of the
dangers on the roads this New
Years Eve, which consistently
ranks among the years deadliest days for alcohol-related
traffic fatalities.
According to the National
Highway
Traffic
Safety
Administration
(NHTSA),
10,874 people died in drunk
driving crashes in all of 2017,
which is an average of one alcohol-impaired-driving fatality
every 48 minutes. In Kansas,
90 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes in 2017,
accounting for 19.5 percent of
all traffic fatalities.
December is a particularly
dangerous month for impaired
driver crashes across the
country, according to NHTSA.
Over the past five years, an
average of 300 people died in
drunk-driving crashes nationwide during the Christmas
through New Years holiday
period. For the entire month of
December 2017, 885 people lost
their lives in traffic crashes
involving a drunk driver.
According to the Kansas
Department of Transportation
(KDOT) statistics from the
2017-18 New Years reporting
period (Fri.-Mon., 78 hours) 40
percent of the fatality crashes
in Kansas were alcohol related. More than one in ten injury crashes during the period
involved alcohol.
AAA Kansas is warning
of the dangers of drunk and
buzzed driving this holiday
season and urging revelers,
party hosts and drivers to take
responsibility and action to
avoid alcohol related crashes
and fatalities.
New Years Eve celebrations with plenty of alcohol
are around the corner, so its
important to plan ahead to
avoid having yourself or one
of your guests become a tragic
holiday statistic due to driving
while impaired, said Shawn
Steward, AAA Kansas spokesman.
Tips for Party Hosts
AAA Kansas provides the
following ABCs of party hosting to make drunk driving less
likely:
A – Alcohol Awareness
Ask your guests to choose a
designated driver for the evening. Have a car key collection when your guests arrive.
Mix drinks yourself and avoid
open bars. Stop serving alcohol
90 minutes before the party is
over.
B – Buffet
Always serve high protein
foods such as meats and cheeses. They stay in the stomach
longer and slow down the rate
of intoxication. Starchy foods
are great too. Minimize salt.
Salt makes people thirsty and
speeds up intoxication. Always
provide non-alcoholic beverages such as mocktails, soft
drinks, juices and punch.
C – Carpool
Remember: only TIME will
make your guests sober. It
takes one hour for the body
to process the average drink.
5 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer and 1.5 ounces of
liquor contain about the same
amount of alcohol. Keep watch
ANDERSON
or Uber ride for you or a friend
in need. Install mobile apps
or put numbers for local cab/
ridesharing companies in your
phone before heading out for
the evening.
If you encounter an
impaired driver on the road,
keep a safe distance and ask a
passenger to call 911 (or pull
over so a safe location to make
the call yourself)
Remember: Prescription,
over-the-counter medications
and illegal drugs also can
impair your ability to drive
safely.
If you choose to drink alcohol, dont drive. If you have
to drive, dont drink alcohol, reiterated AAA Kansas
Steward. DUI arrests and
the tragic crashes that often
result from impaired driving
can easily be avoided if everyone is aware of the issue and
makes good choices and makes
sure alternatives are available,
including rides or designated
drivers and non-alcoholic beverages.

will I leave you; never will I forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5) In
simple terms God offers his Son
Jesus Christ to each of us. If we
receive him he will never leave
us.
I believe the reason many people feel lonely is because they
are separated from God. Many
people try to fill their lives with
things but when we pass from
this world we will be separated
from everything we have accumulated. When that happens
either we will have Christ or we
wont. If we dont have Christ we
will face an eternity of separation
and loneliness from God.
So what is required to avoid
this dreadful state? You must
receive Jesus as your Savior and
invite him into your heart. He
then will begin to clean out the
rooms that exist within each of
our hearts, those areas we protect from him. It will be painful
for a time but you will never face
loneliness again.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 1, 2019
A committee on rural survival ?
Forgive me if I dont get all giddy about the
news last week that Republicans in the Kansas
House have created a new committee to look
into community survival issues in Kansas
rural areas.
I know they mean well, but Ive been in
Kansas now more than 30 years, and even
back when I had a full head of hair the song
was the same: populations dropping, kids leaving home for decent jobs, more shopping out of
town, and the businesses that do survive here
have prices that are high as a cats back.
Its not just a three decade problem its
been going on for a hundred years. In 1900
Anderson County had a population of 14,000
people after its growth nearly doubled every
decade since 1860. Today were 8,000-ish.
And we all know that whats happened
in our county isnt anything we ought to be
quarantined for economic decline in rural
areas has hit just about every farm town in
the country, particularly in ag states where
farms have gotten fewer and bigger and the
handful of manufacturers long since departed
overseas. Its happened over a century, a slow
slide to where we are now. And as bad as we
think it is on the eastern side of the state,
where there are more people per square mile
and closer proximity to more urban areas
its even worse in Western Kansas.
And thats most likely where a lot of
the energy of this new committee will be
focused it was set up by House Speaker Ron
Ryckman who grew up in southwest Kansas
but now lives in Olathe. Itll be chaired by Don
Hineman, former House Majority Leader from
Dighton.
In some respects, we rural residents helped
in our own demise, particularly in the decay
of our downtown business communities. In
the old days downtown was the focus of traffic our two-lane highways often ran right
through the middle of town and our other
focuses of traffic like government and most
importantly schools were right close to the
town center as well. We let our state highway
departments move those new federal fourlanes out of town when they were built, and
instead of keeping our schools in town when
they eventually had to be replaced, we moved
them all outside of town and drained off their

DANE HICKS, Publisher
substantial operating traffic from downtown
businesses.
Better roads, better cars, easier trips to
the nearest Wal-Mart to shop. Now with the
Internet and Amazon, and even Wal-Marts
sweating the loss of rural shopping dollars.
Rural survival a multi-faceted tar baby with
a century of momentum headed in the wrong
direction, and Hineman and his committee
members no doubt know that full well.
And like everything that happens under
the statehouse dome theres a political aspect.
Kansas population slide to suburban areas
gave those urban-esque liberals the deciding
vote in the governors race in the last election.
Ryckman and other Republicans would like to
see some balance restored in what is increasingly a rural/urban faceoff in the state.
Id love to be wrong, but I dont see a statehouse committee solving the issue; I dont
see broad policy attempts being effective. But
this past year I saw a guy with a local business
build a brand new commercial headquarters
building in downtown Garnett. A few weeks
ago I talked to a local high school graduate
whod started his own biosciences company to
find new inventions from ag products, and I
pitched him the idea of bringing his fledgling
company back home. Hed never thought of
that before.
I think that kind of laser beam focus aimed
at individuals with promise, initiated by our
own leaders in our own communities, will
bode better for us than looking for an answer
from a legislative committee.
Mainstream media bullies find
First Lady is no push over
By Rachel CamposDuffy
The mainstream media are finding out that
it isnt as easy to bully Melania Trump as they
thought it would be.
Throughout Donald Trumps presidency, the
media have treated the First Lady with utter disdain, ignoring the many positive initiatives she
has spearheaded in order to focus on trivialities
like her choice of clothing or Christmas decorations.
Melania has endured the abuse with remarkable patience, but the latest hit piece courtesy
of none other than CNN drew a sharp rebuke
from her deputy chief of staff for communications, Stephanie Grisham.
The First Lady recently acknowledged in an
interview that opportunists who are using my
Climate summit silent on natural gas progress
This fall, business leaders, government
officials, and environmental activists from
around the world gathered in San Francisco
for the Global Climate Action Summit. Event
organizers said they want to bend the curve
of emissions down.
If they truly want to accomplish that goal,
they ought to end the summit early and go
drill for more natural gas. The natural gas sector has done far more than any environmentalist group or government to slash carbon
emissions.
Thanks to rising natural gas production,
the United States cut its carbon emissions last
year by about half a percentage point, the biggest drop of any country. This marks the third
consecutive year of declines for the United
States and the ninth time in the 21st century
that America has led the world in emissions
reductions.
The advent of hydraulic fracturing — commonly called fracking — has enabled energy
producers to tap huge natural gas reserves
that were previously inaccessible. When drillers frack a well, they pump a high-pressure
mix of water and sand into underground rock
formations to free the embedded gas. Fracking
has driven a 46 percent increase in domestic
gas production over the last decade. Today,
the United States pumps out 80 billion cubic
feet of gas every day, an all-time high.
The rapid expansion in natural gas supply
has driven down its price, inducing power
plants to switch over from coal to gas.
This transition has yielded enormous environmental benefits: natural gas releases about
50 percent less carbon than coal. Power plants
GUEST COMMENTARY
DREW JOHNSON Taxpayers Protection Alliance
carbon dioxide emissions have dropped 25
percent since 2005.
Today, Americas energy-related carbon
emissions are at a 25-year low.
The natural gas boom is driving down emissions of other pollutants as well, according to
the Environmental Protection Agencys most
recent report on air quality. Between 1990 and
2017, sulfur dioxide emissions dropped 88 percent and nitrogen dioxide emissions dropped
56 percent.
Those stats are all the more impressive
considering that Americans increased the
number of miles they drove and amount of
energy they used over this period.
Summit organizers also say they want to
put the globe on track to prevent dangerous
climate change and realize the historic Paris
Agreement. Initiated to great fanfare by the
Obama administration, the agreement committed America and our European partners
to modest carbon reductions over the next few
decades. When President Trump withdrew
from the Paris Agreement last year, green
activists howled.
Thanks to natural gas, America is on track
to hit the Paris Agreements targets despite the
withdrawal. As Erik Solheim, the executive
director of the United Nations Environment
Programme, recently remarked: In all likelihood, the United States of America will live
up to its Paris commitment, not because of
the White House, but because of the private
sector.
And what of the Summits favorite energy
source — renewables? In recent decades, the
federal government actively cultivated renewables, doling out huge subsidies to solar, wind,
and other fashionable green technologies.
Despite billions in taxpayer handouts,
renewables only account for a small share
of the overall reduction in admissions. The
electricity sectors transition to natural gas
is mainly responsible for recent carbon
reductions, according to the U.S. Energy
Information Administration.
The United States is the worldwide leader
in emissions reductions thanks to fracking.
If attendees at the Global Climate Action
Summit refuse to acknowledge this basic fact,
it will show theyre more interested in virtue
signaling than actually combatting climate
change.

Comey: Slippery, even by his own admission
Never before has a former FBI director
boasted about taking advantage of an administrations disorganization for his own ends. But
never before has a former FBI director been as
self-satisfied as James Brien Comey Jr.

office). He said that in a different administration, it was something I probably wouldnt
have done or maybe gotten away with.
Comey is a bigger political figure than ever

what critics always said — a politically savvy
operator who matches his bureaucratic skills
with an impregnable sense of self-righteousness.
The conundrum of James Comey was that

mistake of Trumps presidency. It would have
been better to have Comey inside the tent leaking and maneuvering for his own advantage,
than to have him outside leaking and maneuvering for his own advantage.
Comey is a smart and capable man. In
many ways, he was a good FBI director. His
fault was always being too clever by half and
keeping too keen an eye out for his own image
and political interest.
He bent over backward to get to the conclusion that President Barack Obama and his
Justice Department wanted in the Clinton
email investigation, then decided to speak out
lest people think his decision was politically
tainted. Comey thus ignored the law in the
Clinton case, and ignored Justice Department
rules in talking about it.
After Trump fired him, Comey gave one
of his memos to a friend so he could share
its contents with The New York Times in the
hopes that it would catalyze the appointment
of a special counsel. Sure enough, we got a
special counsel.
A special-counsel probe is an act of punishment against any administration subjected
to it. It will cause distraction, legal fees and
heartache — in the best case. A practiced
Washington player, Comey knew all of this.
That hes so deft makes his slipperiness
about inconvenient matters related to the
investigation all the more telling.
Consider a little item from Comeys recent
congressional questioning. Then-chief of staff
Reince Priebus asked Comey if a conversation
they were about to have was private. Comey
said it was, despite the fact that he would write
a memo about their talk, and it would — of
course — make it into the press.
Comey is acting under extreme provocation
when he blasts Trump and calls for his defeat,
but seems unaware that his pronouncements
as a private citizen cast a pall over his public
service when he wielded some of the most sensitive powers of government.
None of Trumps attacks on Comey has
been as damning as the supposedly by-thebook FBI director admitting he did an end run
around process in the Flynn interview, and
soaking up laughter and applause for it.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review
name are the hardest part of her job, prompting CNN contributor Kate Andersen Brower to
declare that Melania proved that she doesnt
understand what it means to be first lady.
Grisham immediately fired back with a scathing opinion article of her own, pointing out that
Brower and her fellow liberal media hacks are
the ones who truly dont seem to understand their
jobs.
Melania Trump has, in fact, executed her duties
as First Lady flawlessly. As White House hostess,
she has put on a successful state dinner, overseen
dozens of holiday parties, and led preservation
and restoration efforts at the historical mansion.
She has also actively supported recovery efforts
after hurricanes in Texas, Florida, Louisiana,
and Puerto Rico; comforted shooting victims in
Las Vegas, Parkland, and Pittsburgh; and visited
children in immigration detention facilities and
hospitals.
Grisham also points out that the First Lady
has been a strong proponent of efforts to combat
the opioid crisis, conducting listening sessions
with families that have been affected and speaking directly to young people about the dangers of
addiction.
Yet, rather than reporting on the many good
things that Melania Trump has used her position
to accomplish, the liberal media have chosen
instead to portray her as vapid and out-of-touch.
Perhaps because the First Lady is a former model,
theyve been particularly concerned with her
appearance a misogynist impulse that those
same media outlets would appropriately decry in
just about any other context.
The examples of attacks against the First Lady
abound, and Grisham highlights some of the most
egregious, such as the time last year when the
media became fixated on the type of heels she
wore while boarding Air Force One on her way to
comfort hurricane victims in Texas.
More recently, when Melania went on a goodwill trip to highlight aid efforts in Africa, the
media obsessed over her attire rather than the
health, education, and conservation efforts she
was there to promote.
Even Michelle Obama has gotten in on the
act, derisively remarking Bye Felicia when
she was asked about her recollection of Donald
Trumps inauguration during a recent interview.
Apparently the former First Lady doesnt find
it useful to go high when shes dealing with
someone who radiates grace and humility the way
Melania Trump does.
Our First Lady has too much class to complain
about the medias perfidy even in response to
a direct question she referred merely to opportunists instead of calling out the media by name
but that very restraint is taken as a sign of
weakness by her antagonists, who see her as fair
game in their scorched-earth campaign against
President Trump.
Luckily, Melanias staff is part of Team Trump,
and she has many loyal and loving defenders
around the country who will not shy away from
countering the lies and distortions told by the
mainstream media.

their long-time John Deere
stores, and a number of jobs at
each of those companies as well.
According to Tom Caldwell, a

dealership who owned the
dealerships in Garnett and
Burlington, the choice to close
the dealerships was not his to
make. Its what John Deere
wanted. It wasnt my choice,
said Caldwell, who says the
economy had nothing to do with
the locations closing. Business
was good in both locations, he
said. Theyre closing down all
these little towns.

The influenza epidemic has
again assumed alarming proportions in Garnett and surrounding communities. On
advice of the county health officer, all schools, churches, and
places of amusement will be
closed and all public gatherings of every kind in the city of
Garnett discontinued until the
disease is under control. Every
citizen is asked to cooperate
and to use every possible means
to prevent the further spread of
this most treacherous malady.
It is with keen regret that we
resort to this measure, but a
careful canvas of the situation
makes it absolutely necessary
for public safety.
Correction
Last weeks headline incorrectly stated WWII when it
should have referenced WWI.
We apologize for this mistake.

For many families, its a
pretty special time when the
holiday ham is sliced, veggies
are cooked and the rolls are
golden brown. Kansas State
University agricultural economist Andrew Barkley notes
that consumers may not realize
theres probably a healthy helping of science on the holiday
plate, as well.
Barkley,
the
Coffman
Distinguished
Teaching
Scholar in the Department of
Agricultural Economics, tracks
the return on investment of
agricultural research to local
economies. What he often finds
is that research leads to more
efficient practices, which translates to less expensive food.
For consumers, it means
youre getting a good deal on
the food you eat, Barkley
said. Agricultural research
definitely has had a massive
impact on lowering the cost of
food over time, and it continues
to lower the cost.
In Kansas, scientists help
farmers grow more abundant
wheat and other crops, healthier pork and beef, and safer
dairy products. As one example, Barkley has determined
that for every dollar spent on
wheat research in Kansas, the
states economy gets a return of
about $10.
In other states, land-grant
universities established more
than 150 years ago to improve
the lives of American citizens
use research to help with
various parts of the traditional
holiday meal, such as turkeys
in Arkansas, cranberries in
Massachusetts and potatoes in
Idaho.
All of the agricultural
research (done at U.S. univer-
sities) is really geared toward
making our production agriculture more efficient, which is
really making those food products available for less money,
Barkley said. Thats one way
to explain efficiency.
He noted that not too many
years back, the cost of food took
up most of a familys budget.
But today, less than 10 percent
of our budget is spent on food.
That 10 percent even
includes all of our food away
from home, including restaurants, and more expensive
foods bought at specialty stores.
If you make an effort to buy
only affordable food, you could
be well below 10 percent.
Each year, the American
Farm Bureau Federation
studies the average cost of
the Thanksgiving meal. In its
unique study, the group sends
shoppers out to purchase the
products in a tradition holiday
meal.
Last month, the group noted
that the cost of dinner was
down for the third consecutive
year: about $48.90 for 10 people,
or less than $5 per person.
Spending less on food leaves
a bit more for other holiday
expenses, says Barkley: It
gives us more money to spend
in helping others or for buying
gifts for our family.
Barkley teaches a class at
Kansas State University in
which he tells students that
when the United States was
being settled, more than 90 percent of people were employed
in jobs related to producing
food.
And now were down to just
a few hundred thousand people,
well below 1 percent of our population, he said. As a result of
becoming more efficient in producing safe food, we are able to
have people producing clothing
and cars and cell phones and
movies and footballs and running gear all of that other stuff
has become available, whereas
a couple hundred years ago, all
we had was food.
Its all kind of tied together
that the efficiency in agriculture allows people to produce
other goods, and that increases
our standard of living and that
makes food more affordable.
And not only is it more efficient
and cheaper, but their incomes
go up because they are doing
other things.
The U.S. Agency for
International Development
helps to spread this impact
across the world. Through its
global food and hunger initiative, called Feed the Future,
USAID funds appropriately-named innovation labs at
numerous universities.
Kansas State University has
four such labs, the second most
among U.S. universities, that
address wheat and sorghum
improvement, sustainable agriculture and post-harvest food
loss.
Its fair to say that the rest
of the world is catching up
because of our efforts to transfer technology, Barkley said.
So, really, the trend to produce
safer, more plentiful and more
affordable food is global and
a lot of it is due to agriculturists at land-grant universities
sharing their knowledge and
expertise.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 1, 2019
LOCAL
Start of winter means start of an active car breakdown season
Winter officially began
Friday, Dec. 21, and with the
solstice also comes a season
that is particularly harsh for
vehicles. Although Kansas is
currently enjoying unseasonably warm weather, the freezing temperatures and wintry
precipitation are certain to
impact us during the next three
months, challenging batteries,
tires, engines and other vehicle
systems.
Last winter (Dec. 21, 2017
March 20, 2018), AAA Kansas
came to the rescue of 26,370
stranded motorists, with nearly one-fourth of those calls
for battery-related problems.
Engine or other issues requiring a tow, flat tires and lockouts were other prominent service call reasons.
This lull before the inevitable next winter blast is the
perfect time for motorists to
make sure they and their vehicles are road-ready for the
winter season, especially as
many people prepare for holiday road trips over the next
couple of weeks, said Shawn
Steward, AAA Kansas spokesman. AAA Kansas emergency
roadside service assisted 3,370
stranded motorists between
December 23 and January 1 last
year, and while were happy to
help, we hate to see peoples
holiday trips and family plans
delayed or ruined by a roadside
breakdown.
Many suggested vehicle
maintenance items can be
inspected by a car owner in
less than an hour, but others
should be performed by a certified mechanic.
Vehicle owners should read
the maintenance requirements
set by the cars manufacturer
in the owners manual. There is
no longer a standard maintenance schedule for vehicle services including brake fluid.
Each automaker has different
requirements, making the
owners manual the most accurate resource. In-vehicle maintenance reminders provide
good guidance because they
account for real-time problems
and how you actually drive.
However, many reminder sys-
tems do not specifically cover
maintenance
operations that
need to be performed on a
time or mileage
basis such as
brake fluid and
coolant flushes
or timing-belt
replacement.
Harsh winter conditions
make
your
vehicle work
harder,
particularly the
charging and
starting system, headlights,
tires and windshield wipers.
AAA Kansas recommends that
motorists check the following
vehicle systems:
Battery: Clean any corrosion from battery posts and
cable connections and wash all
surfaces with battery terminal
cleaner or a solution of baking
soda and water. Have the battery checked by a professional
Application to replace gas pipeline
(Published in the Anderson County Review on January 1, 2019)
to ensure it is strong enough
to face cold weather. Be aware
that batteries typically last 3-5
years, so if yours is approaching or within that age range,
it may not have the power
for cold-weather starts. AAA
members can request a visit
from a AAA Mobile Battery
Service technician who will
test their battery and replace
it on-site, if necessary. AAA
Approved Auto Repair shops
can also test and replace weak
batteries.
Tires: Examine tires for
tread depth, uneven wearing
and cupping. Check tire pressures once a month. For every
10 degrees the temperature
drops, tires can lose a pound of
pressure. Dont forget the spare
tire.
Engine: Have any engine
drivability problems corrected at a good repair shop.
Symptoms like hard starts,
rough idling, stalling or diminished power could signal a
problem that would be exacerbated by cold weather. Engine
hoses and belts should be
inspected for wear or cracking.
Fluids: Important system
fluids such as engine coolant/
anti-freeze, transmission and
brake fluid should be checked
and changed at recommended
intervals.
Exhaust:
Have
your
mechanic check the exhaust
system for leaks and look for
any holes in the trunk and
floorboards.
Brakes: Inspect brakes as
recommended in your owners
manual, or sooner if you notice
pulsations, pulling, noises
while braking or longer stopping distance. Correct minor
brake problems promptly.
Wipers: Replace worn windshield-wiper blades. Purchase
one-piece beam-type or rubber-clad winter blades to
fight snow and ice build-up.
Use cold-weather windshield
washer solvent and carry an
ice-scraper.
Lights: Inspect all lights
and bulbs and replace burned
out bulbs. Clean road grime or
clouding from all lenses.
Winter Weather Readiness
Wintry weather can also
wreak havoc, causing vehicle-damaging crashes, and also
putting drivers and passengers
in danger if they are injured
or stranded in frigid temperatures, said AAA Kansas
Steward. About 46 percent of
crashes involving bad weather
take place in the winter, making this the worst time of year
for driving in treacherous conditions, according to the AAA
Foundation for Traffic Safety.
The highest proportion of
crashes involving bad weather
happen overnight from 6:00 PM
until 5:59 AM, when visibility
is limited and roads are most
likely to freeze.
According to AAA Kansas
Steward, now is a perfect time
to begin assembling a winter weather emergency kit to
carry in your vehicle. This kit
is especially important if youll
be driving any distance and
winter weather is forecast. The

Chase Riebel gave the sermon
on The Gift of Love. Jesus
was Gods gift to us… first he

Wildfire season in Kansas projected to start earlier; K-State Corn Production
Schools scheduled
slight increase in fire weather events predicted
for winter 2019
Areas of Kansas face an
elevated threat of wildfire in
the 2019 season, according
to projections by the Kansas
Mesonet and National Weather
Service. The news came
as Kansas Forest Service,
Kansas Division of Emergency
Management and the Office
of the State Fire Marshall
officials gathered in Wichita
for the Kansas 2019 Wildfire
Outlook Seminar on Dec. 12.
The seminar was designed to
update firefighters and emergency managers on the predicted wildfire season.
Understanding weather conditions and climate trends is a
key aspect of fighting and preparing for wildfires in Kansas.
We are seeing increased
fuel loads in this region
because of the late summer
rains we received, said Chip
Redmond, mesonet manager and assistant scientist in
the Weather Data Library at
Kansas State University.
Redmond said that despite
above-normal moisture across
most of the state this winter,
a slightly earlier start to the
spring fire season is expected accompanied by an earlier-than-usual spring green up
that could add fuel if freeze
damage occurs. The combination of factors has heightened fire concerns for any fire
weather event in the southwest
and central part of the state.
The seminar is one way
Kansas fire agencies prepare
for potential wildfires.
In addition to the climatology and weather outlook,
speakers reviewed reporting
requirements, discussed the
building of intrastate and interstate capacity, requesting state
resources, aerial firefighting
suppression and other topics
relevant to local and rural fire
departments.
While there was a decrease
in acres burned and total number of fires in 2018, the fires
of 2016 and 2017 burned over
800,000 acres with a cost of more
than $80 million. Aggressive
initial attack, improved coordination and access to mutual
aid kept the impact of wildfires
in 2018 to a minimum.
By the end of March 2018,
KFS had already conducted
more training with fire departments across Kansas than in
any other year.
Local fire authorities are
building their capacity and
coordination to fight wildfires
in the state through the training we offer, said Eric Ward,
assistant fire management
officer for KFS. Their initial
response and pre-coordination
of resources is essential in minimizing the impact of wildfires
in Kansas. We are proud to
partner with KDEM and OSFM
to support their efforts.
Odorless, colorless radon gas is prevalent
in Kansas; have your home checked
Location, location, location
Kansas is fortunate to have
the scenic Flint Hills, a relatively low cost of living, and
produces a valuable part of our
food supply.
On the downside, theres a
decent chance your home will
test positive for radon, an odorless, colorless gas that is the
leading cause of lung cancer in
non-smokers.
One in four homes
in Kansas will test
at or above the EPAs
radon action level, said
Bruce Snead, director
of the Kansas Radon
Program at Kansas State
University. He referred
to the Environmental
Protection
Agencys
radon action level of 4.0
picocuries of radon per
liter of indoor air.
To help raise awareness and encourage
people to have their
homes tested, the EPA
has deemed January
National Radon Action
Month. Kansas Gov. Jeff
Colyer signed a proclamation Dec. 18 recognizing the month in the
state.
Radon occurs naturally in the soil. Its lev-
els are low outdoors because its
effects are diluted, but indoor
levels can build and lead to
lung cancer. And Kansas soils
generate significant amounts
of radon leading to the potential for homes to have elevated
concentrations of this naturally-occurring class A carcinogen.
Snead encourages all home-
owners to test for radon. Test
kits can be obtained from
many K-State Research and
Extension offices for a reduced
fee, which includes a lab analysis and return postage. Kits
can also be ordered online at
www.sosradon.org at retail
price.
More than 112,000 radon
measurements have been
reported in Kansas, according
to the Kansas Department of
Health and Environment. The
agency indicates that the statewide average indoor radon
level in Kansas is 4.9 picocuries of radon per liter (pCi/L),
which is above the EPA threshold of 4.0.
For homeowners who test
and find elevated radon levels
in their homes, the
most common technique to reduce it
is called Active Soil
Depressurization. An
ASD mitigation system is a permanently-installed pipe-andfan system that places a direct constant
vacuum on the soil
beneath the homes
foundation, so the
amount of radon that
can penetrate into
the living space is
reduced.
More information about radon,
testing and mitigation is available at
kansasradonprogram.org/home or
by calling the Kansas
Radon Hotline at
1-800-693-5343.
K-State Research and
Extension, in partnership with
Kansas Corn, is hosting several one-day Corn Production
Schools at locations across
eastern, central, and western
Kansas this winter. Three will
be offered in early January
2019 in Salina, Oakley, and
Lawrence. In February, three
Pre-Plant Corn Schools will be
held in Parsons, Hesston, and
Garden City.
Each school is free to attend
and will provide in-depth training targeted for corn producers
in those regions. The schools
are coordinated with Kansas
Corn and the primary sponsor
is Pioneer.
The schools will cover a
number of issues facing corn
producers in each region
including: weed control, crop
production practices, markets,
nutrient management and soil
fertility, insects, irrigation and
disease management. These
events have a long-standing tradition and reputation in offering a solid set of topics of great
relevancy to our corn growers
across the state of Kansas, said
Ignacio Ciampitti, associate
professor and corn specialist
in the Kansas State University
Department of Agronomy.
Kansas Corn Director of
Industry Relations Stacy MayoMartinez said participants will
hear from a variety of speakers
including other farmers. At
the January Corn Schools, we
will feature farmers from each
area who will talk about how
they are incorporating various
technologies and practices. At
the Hesston, Garden City and
Oakley schools, local farmers
and specialists will talk about
lessons and opportunities with
irrigation tools and other technologies.
A lunch will be provided at
each school and CCA credits
and commercial pesticide credits are available where applicable. Participants are asked
to pre-register before Jan. 3 for
the January Corn Management
schools and before Feb. 4 for the
Pre-Plant Schools. Online registration is available at kscorn.

can also register by phone by

local K-State Extension office.
