GARNETT The Anderson County Jail needs potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs
and updates to keep it safe to house prisoners and
safe for jail staff, the county sheriff told county commissioners on
Monday, along
with hopes to
gain a national

more marketable for outside

units to rent cell
space there.
Sheriff Wes McClain told commissioners a recent
audit of the jail by the National Institute on Jail
Operations had revealed a number of deficiencies
including lack of acoustic panels to make it easier to
hear in the concrete and brick structure, outdated
surveillance cameras and inoperable functions in
some control room aspects, including an outdated
fire suppression system.
Expense cuts or value engineering as it was
termed by J.E. Dunn officials who at the time were
spearheading the jail project struggled to meet its
budget cap of $5.5 million determined by county commissioners when construction talks were underway
by the countys Public Building Commission back in
early 2008. Commissioners based the countys sales
tax and backup mill levy on that figure at the time
and sliced away other features in order to get to that
number, although later expenses and repairs surpassed the initial figure. Commissioners conducted
three rounds of bidding with multiple general contractors before eventually opting to forego a general
contractor and have the county engineer run the

Historic downtown building judged unsafe, set for condemnation
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A 65 year-old
Garnett man was killed Friday
when his car left the road and
struck a tree near the intersection of 1850 and Trego Roads
northeast of Garnett.
Anderson County Sheriff
Wes McClain said officers
received a call about 9:31 a.m.
that a vehicle had left the roadway and struck a tree across
the south ditch of 1850. McClain
said Cartwright was unresponsive when fire and EMS units
arrived. Lifesaving measures
were undertaken as responders worked to extricate him,
but McClain said Cartwright
was later pronounced dead at
Anderson County Hospital.
Cartwright was the sole
occupant of the vehicle.

earlier expectations for precipitation from that front have been reduced
in the local forecast. Grassland managers are urged to remember to
contact Anderson County Dispatch at (785) 448-5428 for the latest burn
conditions and to obtain a free burn permit if available.

State Constitutional Amendment vote would determine election of judges
BY PATRICK RICHARDSON
THE SENTINEL
TOPEKA Residents of Kansas
may soon be able to have a
say in who sits atop the states
highest court.
On Thursday, March 6, 2025,
the Kansas Senate approved
SCR 1611, a constitutional
amendment giving Kansans
the right to elect justices to
the Kansas Supreme Court.
The Senate vote was 27-13,
with all Democrats and four
Republicans voting against the
bill.
Kansas is the only state in
the Union in which members
of the state supreme court are
nominated not by the governor
but by a nominating commission controlled by the Kansas
Bar Association.
The bar association then
nominates three candidates
from whom the governor then
makes an appointment.
If also adopted by the House,
SCR 1611 would be put on the
ballot in August 2026 for a vote
of the people. If passed on the
ballot with a simple majority, elections for the Kansas
Supreme Court would begin in
2028.
Kansas would join 22 other
states that use direct elections
for their state supreme courts.
A number of states use a nominating commission, but only
Kansas has a commission controlled by the state bar.
Kansas currently stands
alone as the only state in the
union that enshrines the power
to decide who sits on our highest court to a commission controlled by five lawyers selected by other lawyers, Kansas
Senate President Ty Masterson
(R-Andover). This outlier system has failed, producing an
often-overturned court that has
no real accountability to the
people. Rather than a system
that consolidates authority in
the hands of an elite society of
super voters, its time to restore
that power to all Kansans.
Its not the first time
Masterson has called for changes to the way state justices are
nominated.
In July 2019, two justices,

FROM PAGE 1
Lawton Nuss and Lee Johnson,
announced they were stepping
down prior to the mandated
retirement age for justices of
75.
At the time, Masterson
moved for a constitutional
amendment that would have put
Kansas on the federal model
in which the governor makes
selections with the advice and
consent of the Kansas Senate.
While his motion was made on
the last day of the session, and
the only vote was procedural,
it did receive the 27 votes that
would have been needed to put
the matter on the ballot.
Lawmakers changed the
appointment system for the
Kansas Court of Appeals from
a merit-based system to a federal model in 2013, allowing the
Governor to nominate appellate court judges subject to
Senate confirmation.
The Kansas chapter of the
ACLU opposed SCR1611.
SCR 1611 seeks to dismantle Kansas merit-based
judicial selection system and
replace it with partisan judicial elections, the submitted
testimony reads. This would
inject politics into our courts,
undermine judicial independence, and erode public trust
in the judiciary. The ACLU of
Kansas opposes this proposal
because it threatens the rule
of law, weakens the separation
of powers, and allows special
interests and partisan agendas
to influence our states highest
court.

Colony Christian Church
– God of Resurrection
Lexy Langworthy led worship
with the songs "Good, Good
Father," "Shout to the Lord,"
"In Christ Alone" and "Your
Name is Power."
Bruce Symes began communion meditation with the song
"One thing I know, You are
Good." James 1:17 tells us that
every good gift comes down
from above. What do we have
that God hasn't given us? He
even gave the Israelites Manna
from heaven so they would
know that man does not live by
bread alone but by every word
that comes from the mouth
of God. We cannot pride ourselves in our accomplishments
but should give God the glory.
Pastor Chase Riebel spoke
from Ezekiel 37 about the
"God of Resurrection." The
Lord God resurrected a valley
of dry bones so that Ezekiel
could see that God can put spirit back into the dead. Jesus
told Martha in John 11:25-26
that whoever believed in Him
would live after death. Lent is a
time of fasting and prayer. Let
the hunger from fasting be fed
by the word of the Lord.

The cost of fighting against God
In Acts 5 we read concerning
the apostles. They (the high
priest and all his associates)
arrested the apostles and put
them in the public jail. But
during the night an angel of
the Lord opened the doors of
the jail and brought them out.
The angel said to them. Go
stand in the temple courts and
tell the people the full message
of this new life. The Book of
Acts addresses many instances
when the apostles were put in
harms way. From Pentecost
forward this is the case. The
power brokers of the day
thought that since they had
gotten rid of Jesus their problems were solved. Not so, the
apostles were empowered by
the Holy Spirit to take up the
work of Jesus and the Spirit
gave them whatever assets they
needed. In this case an angel of
the Lord brought them out of
jail and gave them instructions
to tell the people the message of
Jesus Christ. They immediately returned to the temple and
began teaching the people.
The Sanhedrin had them
arrested again and brought in.
Interestingly enough instead
of denying their involvement
they accuse the apostles of trying to blame the death of Jesus
on them.This gives the apos-
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
tles the opportunity to make
their, We must obey God rather than men speech setting up
yet another confrontation for
the Sanhedrin. But a Pharisee
named Gamaliel, who was honored by all the people, spoke
up and said. Leave these men
alone! Let them go! For if their
purpose or activity is of human
origin it will fail. But if it is of
God you will not be able to stop
these men; you will only find
yourself fighting against God.
So I pose this question, are
you fighting against God like
the Sanhedrin or fighting for
God like the apostles. You will
find no peace in your life if you
are fighting against God. I did
not believe this for a long time
but God has worn me out proving it to me.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, March 13, 2025
KidWind Challenge makes Green Energy Moonies
The telegraph station we built out of paper
milk cartons, wire-wrapped nails and flashlight
batteries in my 6th grade science class back in
1975 taught us about principles of electricity and
communication not about fleecing taxpayers
with politically-charged corporate welfare.
But thats the youth indoctrination effort
pitched each year by the Kansas Corporation
Commission with its KidWind Challenge.
This nationwide propaganda program is sponsored by all the heavy hitters of Green Energy,
which the KCC dutifully promotes to public
schools across the state in an effort to help
Big Green make unquestioning lackies out of
Kansas school children.
The KCC picked up a cool $65,000 grant from
the U.S. Department of Indoctrination I mean
Energy to run KidWind this year. That may
seem like a lot of clams for a school project competition, but it does keep KCC in the company
of mega-buck federal tax credit addicts like EDP
Renewables and Dominion Energy whove been
tapping taxpayers for decades now. With publicly-funded tuition making Green Soldiers out of
Kansas school kids for the Renewable Energy
Industry, just think of it as your tax dollars
making Moonies out of your kids.
As if thatll make it easier to swallow.
So while KCC and these other green energy
pimps sugar coat wind energy like the Victory
Gardens of World War II that will defeat fossil
fuel tyranny, the other half of Kansas which
opposes this government dependent, equity
destroying, landscape ravaging debacle are left
with less tax money and a whole class of youth
that will need deprogramming by heavy doses of
scientific reality.
The basics of KidWind is pretty simple but
its the irony of the challenge that makes it as
silly as the actually industry it coddles. In a nutshell, kids make a toy wind turbine and they test
it to see how well it does in a wind tunnel a
wind tunnel that itself is powered by wait for

Thats a point thats not brought up during
the challenge presumably because it might
raise too many challenging questions. Even
Moonies can be darned inquisitive.
And those questions abound. KidWinds rules

division wind farms bring to rural communities
that value the pristine landscapes and skylines
that really put the country in the country.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Nor do they discuss how a scheme of federal tax
credits to Big Business operations that promote
wind are really the only reasons wind farms
exist to begin with.
Also forgotten are the basics of the wind
farm fairy tale that somehow we can replace
always-on electrical generation powered by
nuke, coal or natural gas with sometimes-on
wind farms that only produce power when the
wind blows. The practical effect? That any wind
power we might depend on better be backed up
by dependable production unless youre willing to tolerate a power system that only works
when the wind blows.
Of course the wind industry has that one
solved: The winds got to be blowing somewhere, so just build wind farms everywhere, as
long as Uncle Sams footing enough of the bill.
That pulse on, pulse off nature of wind turbine fields connected to the regional power grid
is also a real treat for the engineers and technicians who are trying to run that grid with the
idea of keeping it consistent across broad segments of the country. Imagine a non-stop game
of wack-a-mole across a massive electrical grid
every time the weather pattern changes.
The parents of the KidWinders might have
a different perspective from the KCC and the
big money wind companies. All across Eastern
Kansas and in some other counties as well,
adults who are a little less starry-eyed about
pie-in-the sky causes are stopping wind farm
developments in their tracks. It happened here
in Anderson County, Linn County, most recently in Franklin and Osage counties and even
out in Reno County. People who live in the

to rid the district of such disgraceful left-wing

Avenue, or Laken Riley Place. All of these
would be much more suitable than Black Lives
Matter Plaza. BLM caused chaos and destruction, instigating divisiveness throughout the
nation. It is an organization predicated on promoting dishonest narratives, usually accompanied by hypersensationalized claims of racism.
Riley wanted to save lives and help others,
whereas BLM and its acolytes facilitated violence with riots around the country while gaslighting an entire nation with dishonest assertions of systemic racism and white supremacy.
Consider the destruction BLM facilitated
throughout the nation. During a pandemic,
law enforcement officials, first responders, and
other emergency personnel were forced to divert
depleted resources to protect protesters and
demonstrators. Rioters linked to the movement
assaulted innocent people, shot elderly police
officers, destroyed communities, looted stores,
stole merchandise, and were given free rein to
break laws and violate safety protocols meant to
prevent the spread of a deadly virus due to the
coddling nature and a misguided allegiance to
social justice.
Furthermore, while Riley was going to school
to learn how to help save lives, the BLM rioters
caused billions of dollars in damage and injured
over 2,000 police officers, and over 20 people
were reportedly killed. Also, rioters tried to
burn down multiple police precincts throughout the country with officers still inside.
Laken Riley is worth remembering. BLM, on
the other hand, deserves to be banished into the
ash heap of history.
The first anniversary of the House passing
the Laken Riley Act was on March 7. It was
legislation that came in response to a gruesome
tragedy that highlighted the incompetencies and
failures of the Biden administration on border
security. As Black Lives Matter Plaza enters
its last days of existence, Republicans should
introduce legislation to rename it after the innocent college-aged woman who was murdered
because of the horrible immigration policies
championed by former President Joe Biden and
Democrats.
The stretch of street should be named after
someone with heroic qualities, not something
with villainous ones.

Say it and spell it: Yes to English as the official language
Official is a very English word. It has its
roots in the Old French oficial and the Latin
officialis, and now — thanks to a new Trump
executive order — describes the status of the
English language.
President Trumps executive action making English our official language repeals a Bill
Clinton executive order that required the government, as well as groups receiving federal
funds, to provide language assistance to non-English speakers.
Trumps move will have little practical effect,
since the increase in bilingualism in the United
States has been driven by high levels of immigration from Spanish-speaking countries rather
than direct government action.
Still, the executive order is an important
symbolic statement, and its basic premises are
correct.
A nationally designated language, the executive order says, is at the core of a unified
and cohesive society, and the United States
is strengthened by a citizenry that can freely
exchange ideas in one shared language.
This is certainly true of having an overwhelmingly dominant language, whether it is
technically designated the official language or
not.
But the order is hateful and threatening to all
those groups for whom e pluribus unum — to
resort to a long-dead language — no longer has
appeal.
The communications director for the pro-immigration group United We Dream huffed:
Trump is trying to send the message that if
youre not white, rich and speak English, you
dont belong here. Let me be clear: Immigrants
are here to stay. No matter how hard Trump
tries, he cant erase us.
Notably, she made her statement in English.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
About half of immigrants in the U.S., by the way,
are proficient English speakers. Are they erasing themselves?
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus commented: Trumps plan to make English official
is a direct attack on our diversity and history.
Millions of Americans speak other languages
and that doesnt make them any less American.
Its no disrespect to speakers of, say, Tagalog
or Haitian Creole to send the message that
English has been and will continue to be our
predominant language. Anyone not learning
English is excluding themselves from the mainstream of American life, and limiting their educational and economic opportunities.
A New York Times headline snarked, Trump
Made English the Official Language in a Country
with 350 of Them.
Thats part of the impetus, rather than a contradiction. The language police obviously arent
going to show up in ethnic neighborhoods with
copies of Strunk & White. Nevertheless, it is
very important that the leading status of the
English language not be challenged. Languagebased divisions can cause deep ruptures in
otherwise peaceable, well-run societies — just
ask the Canadians, Belgians or Spanish, all of
whom have been riven by secession movements
in regions that speak different languages.
If the U.S. ever adopts a more fully merit-based immigration system, English-language
ability should be one of the criteria.
Ours, it should be noted, is a very good
language. The vocabulary is incredibly rich.
Thanks to copious borrowings over the centuries, especially from Latin and Norman French,
there are more than half a million words in the
Oxford English Dictionary, whereas German
has about 185,000 words and French not even
100,000.
The co-authors of the delightful book The
Story of English note that the English language
didnt exist when Julius Caesar invaded Britain
a couple of millennia ago. Then, 500 years later
it was spoken by as many people as speak
Cherokee today. By Shakespeares time in the
16th century, several million Englishmen spoke
it, and, a couple of hundred years after that, it
had exploded around the globe.
Today, about 1.5 billion people speak English.
Only about 400 million of those speak it as their
first language. It is the language of business,
entertainment and the internet. There are more
English speakers in India than the U.K. and
roughly as many English speakers in Nigeria as
in Britain.
No language has ever been as ubiquitous, and
the U.S. government is now giving it its official
due.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
Fox News talk about it. Hundreds of billions
arent enough for these parasites. They want
more at your expense. Yet somany middle
class Republicans follow them blindly. They
are currently running unchecked and have
zero accountability. These people are all out
only for themselves and will never pay their
fair share of taxes. They arent draining the
swamp, they are the swamp.
Democrats need to revisit their latest be kind
slogan after their cruel display of inhumanity
during the State of The Union address.
Thank you for running that commentary by
Kylie Griswold of The Federalist last week,
Just a glance tells us that its time to go back
to slut shaming. Anyone who didnt see it
needs to go find a copy of last weeks Review.
Kylie is another one of those brave souls who is
saying out loud what we are all thinking.

HISTORY
More info on this years KATP 105 years ago – Harris bank was robbed, cashier placed in vault
A few weeks ago I told everyone to mark their calendars
for June 6-15 Annual Kansas
Archeology Training Program
(KATP) Field School. A little
information about this years
selected site for our field training school.
It will be hosted in
LeCompton, Kansas at the Mt.
Aeolia mansion ruins. The
mansion was built in 1857 for
the Secretary and twice Acting
Governor of the territory of
Kansas, Frederick P. Stanton,
and his family. Stanton sold
the property in 1862, and various occupants lived there
until Governor Harry Hines
Woodring purchased it in the
1940s. He planned to restore
the home and call it (Rebel
Hill), but this never happened.
Eventually the structure
was nearly demolished due to
trespassing and vandalism on
the property. Despite the damage, parts of the stone walled
basement are still visible today.
The purpose of the field school
will be focusing on excavating
within and around the old mansion remains to learn about the
lives of its many occupants
from 1857 to the 1940s.

almost nothing to assist in helping those public events happen,
other events were far more
expensive. Locke questioned
whether it was fair to effectively charge all local taxpayers
and utility customers to pay for
what are at times events that
benefit a specific organization
or group.
City staff are often called
upon to mow certain areas,
help set up electrical drops
and waste cans as well as area
cleanup for some events among
other efforts. Locke noted labor
and other expenses absorbed
by the city for the Anderson
County Flywheelers use of
Lake Garnett Park, which he
said totaled around $683, with
more than $5,000 in city costs
for production of the annual
Cornstock Concert On The Hill
production, which he said cost
the city some cash expenses as
well as overtime.
No motions were made after
the brief discussion.

McClain told commissioners
investments that brought the
jail up to accreditation level
would make it more marketable to house out-of-area prisoners, which the county earns
revenue on by charging daily
cell rental, and minimize
the possibility of civil litigation from inmates that could
result in costly legal fees and
settlements. McClain said the
department was hesitant to
encourage cell rental at this
time due to the conditions and
inexperienced jail staff recently hired.

Don't rely on luck – Drive Pieces & Patches Quilt Guild minutes for February
sober on St. Patrick's Day
St. Patricks Day is Monday,
March 17, but many festivities
will be underway on weekends
before and after the holiday.
Regardless of when the celebrations occur, the Kansas
Department of Transportation
reminds everyone that drinking and driving is dangerous
and never an option.
Preliminary 2024 Kansas
data shows 76 people were
killed and more than 1,000 people were injured in crashes
that involved alcohol.
These crashes were preventable and put a great number of other lives at risk as
well, said KDOT Behavorial
Safety Manager Gary Herman.
Embracing St. Patricks Day
and its traditions can be fun,
but driving sober should be
your main focus before grabbing your green. Planning
ahead is key to sober driving.
It could not only save your life,
but the lives of those around
you.
Dont leave it to the luck of
the Irish, plan ahead.
If you choose to drink,
arrange for a designated driver
or use a rideshare or cab.
If a friend is leaving the
celebration impaired, take the
keys.
If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact law
enforcement.
Meeting to highlight the
biology and conservation status
of the Monarch butterfly
OTTAWA On April 1, 2025,
the Frontier Extension District
will host a meeting focused
on several important aspects
of the Monarch butterfly. The
event will begin at 6:30 p.m.
at Neosho County Community
College, located at 900 East
Logan St. in Ottawa.
Kristen Baum, director of
Monarch Watch and professor
of Ecology and Evolutionary
Biology at the University of
Kansas, will be the guest speaker for the evening. Her current
research focuses on the management of pollinators, with a
strong emphasis on the monarch butterfly. In addition to
her own research, Baum works
with conservation groups
nationwide to support the protection and management of pollinators.
At this meeting, Baum will
provide an overview of the
monarch butterfly, including
its biology and ecology. By
understanding how the butterfly lives, we can better manage
our lands for their well-being.
Baum will discuss new conservation efforts and show how
one method, butterfly tagging,
is done and used to help the species. Baum is highly passionate
about this topic and hopes to
share her knowledge to better
educate others on one of the
most iconic butterflies.
The monarch in North
America is grouped into the
eastern or western migratory
population. The eastern population overwinters in Mexico
and has seen an 80% decrease
in population since the 1980s.
The western population overwinters in California and has
experienced a 95% decline in
population, making the odds
for extinction nearly 99% by
2080. Because the butterflies
see no borders, the conservation efforts must not as well.
This has led to the creation of
the North American Monarch
Conservation Program and the
Trilateral Monarch Butterfly
Sister Protected Area Network,
working with the United States,
Canada and Mexico to increase
and restore monarch habitats.
In December of 2024, the
US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) proposed protection
under the Endangered Species
Act for the monarch. USFWS
uses the butterflys status as
one of the most recognizable
insects in the world to encourage the public to support the
proposal, which will both promote economic growth and
improve conservation efforts
for the butterfly.
To register for the April 1st
meeting, complete a registration form at one of the Frontier
District offices in Garnett,
Lyndon or Ottawa, or contact
Lauren Gammill at laurengammill@ksu.edu or 785-2293520. You may also register

OTTAWA Banners celebrating National Agriculture
WeekMarch 16 22 have
been hung along streets in
Garnett and Ottawa to bring
awareness to the impact of the
local agricultural industry in
each community.
The ag awareness banner

in both communities. Last
year, 10 banners were hung
in each community; this year,
additional banners have been
added. The banners highlight
different aspects of the agricultural industry.

Numbers
released
by
the Kansas Department of
Agriculture confirm that agriculture continues to be a major
contributor to the economies of
Anderson and Franklin counties.
Agriculture and agriculture-related sectors directly contributed $210 million
in output and 740 jobs to the
Anderson County economy in
2024. Including indirect and
induced effects, agriculture
and agriculture-related sectors
had a total impact of $261 million in output, 1,003 jobs, and
28% of the total Gross Regional
Product. Anderson County
has 611 farms accounting for
364,522 acres.
Regarding the Franklin
County economy in 2024, agriculture and agriculture-related sectors directly contributed
$358 million in output and 1,382
jobs. Including indirect and
induced effects, agriculture
and agriculture-related sectors
had a total impact of $431 million in output, 1,794 jobs, and
11% of the total Gross Regional
Product. There are 1,020 farms
in the county, accounting for
355,436 acres.
Per the Kansas Department
of Agriculture, the model that
generated these figures does
not include ethanol production
nor wholesale and retail sales
of final products.
According to local producers, a strong agricultural economy is bolstered by the cooperation of the whole community. Franklin County producer
Jake Sylvester appreciates that
support. We are fortunate to
have several local suppliers of
agricultural inputs that provide great customer service to
farmers and ranchers in our
community, he said.
Anderson County producer Connie Thompson agrees.
We live in a part of the county where we could easily do
business in three surrounding
counties but choose to support
Anderson County ag businesses because they do a great job
of supporting us. Little things
like supporting the local 4-H
kids at the county fair and
donating to local festivals outside the city of Garnett do not
go unnoticed, Thompson said.
Another eastern Kansas producer, Doug Shoup, has similar
thoughts. People in our community understand the busy
times of agriculture. They are
sensitive to planting and harvesting, and, when the weather
is tough, they are sensitive to
the cattlemen about caring for
their animals in brutal weather, Shoup said.
Sylvester said the local communities could also contribute
to the growth of agriculture.
There is a constant demand
for workers in our agricultural
industry on farms and at local
ag retailers. The community
could increase support by helping to promote interest in these
jobs with young adults entering the workforce, he said.
Shoup and Sylvester have
ideas on how agricultural and
non-agricultural sectors can
work together to strengthen
the local economy. The producers agree that promoting locally grown products is a good
place to start. Find ways to
process products grown here,
thus creating jobs and keeping
revenue in our local communities, Shoup said.
There are goods and services that agricultural and
non-agricultural sectors can
provide to the local economy,
Sylvester said. Finding ways
to showcase those goods and
services together to the public
would help to strengthen the
local economy.

Frontier District to host
backyard poultry meeting
LYNDON – The Frontier
Extension District will host a
free public meeting for poultry
enthusiasts and aspiring backyard farmers on Wednesday,
April 9, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. at
the Overbrook Public Library
in Overbrook. The meeting
was previously scheduled for
January but was rescheduled
due to weather conditions.
The meeting presenter,
Dr. Scott Beyer, Kansas State
Extension Specialist – Poultry
Nutrition and Management,
will highlight many aspects of
owning and raising poultry,
including the importance of
having a biosecurity plan in
place to protect flocks from the
Highly Pathogenic Avian Flu.
Other topics he will discuss
include poultry housing and
management, selecting the best
breeds for production, getting
the most eggs from a flock, molting a flock, and understanding
vaccinations and health care
for maintaining healthy birds.
Dr. Beyer will have something
of interest for everyone, said
Rod Schaub, Frontier District
livestock agent.
With the demand for poultry products on the rise and the
price for a dozen eggs currently
fluctuating significantly, it is
a real treat to be able to grow
your own broilers and eat fresh
eggs, Schaub said. Fresh eggs
are tastier than those you purchase from the grocery store,
they have increased nutritional benefits and they are great
when used for baking.
All are welcome to attend
the meeting, whether they are
considering starting their own
backyard flock or looking to
improve their current poultry
practices. Attendees will have
the chance to ask questions,
share experiences, and gain
practical insights that will help
them be successful poultry
keepers.
For more information about
the April 9th meeting, contact
Rod Schaub at 785-828-4438 or
through email at rschaub@
ksu.edu. We hope to see you at
the meeting!

Time to plant potatoes in Kansas
MANHATTAN For Kansas
gardeners, St. Patricks Day
means something much more
than donning a favorite green
outfit and heading to local celebrations.
Traditionally, the Irish holiday signals the date for planting potatoes.
Actually, anytime from
mid- to late-March is fine for
potato planting, said Kansas
State University horticulture
expert Cynthia Domenghini.
Be sure to buy seed potatoes rather than using those
intended for cooking. Seed
potatoes are certified disease
free and have plenty of starch
to sprout as quickly as soil temperatures allow.
Domenghini notes that most
seed potatoes can be cut into
four pieces though large
potatoes may yield more, she
said. Each seed should weigh
between 1 to 2 ounces, and
likely have more than one eye.
Each pound of seed potatoes should yield 8 to 10 pieces,
according to Domenghini.
Cut the seed 2 to 3 days
before planting so that freshly cut surfaces have a chance
to suberize, or toughen, which
provides a protective coating,
Domenghini said. Storing
seed in a warm location during
suberization will speed the process.
Domenghini recommends
planting each seed piece 1 to 2
inches deep and 8 to 12 inches
apart in rows.
Though it is important to
plant potatoes in March, they
emerge slowly, she said. It is
often mid- to late-April before
new plants poke their way
through the soil. As the potatoes grow, pull soil up to the
base of the plants. New potatoes
are borne above the planted
seed piece and it is important
to keep sunlight from hitting
the new potatoes.
Domenghini said exposed
potatoes will turn green and
produce a poisonous substance
called solanine. Keeping the
potatoes covered will prevent
this.
Domenghini and her colleagues in K-States Department
of Horticulture and Natural
Resources produce a weekly
Horticulture Newsletter with
tips for maintaining home
landscapes and gardens.
Interested persons can subscribe to the newsletter, as
well as send their garden and
yard-related questions to hortsupport@ksu.edu, or contact
your local K-State Research
and Extension office.

rain,
snow, ice, sun, animals, and accumulated debris, create
an exposure on the medium,
which may be steel, copper,

not aware of any other artist
producing artwork such as his.

Predator problems? A control guide for livestock producers
MANHATTAN Based on 2020
market values, predators cause
approximately $4 million in
losses annually to Kansas cattle producers. Likewise, they
financially burden the states
small ruminant operations to
the tune of about $750,000 per
year.
To mitigate the economic impact and other effects
of predation, Kansas State
University wildlife specialist
Drew Ricketts said producers
have various non-lethal control
methods available to keep livestock safe.
The number of coyotes
around or removed doesnt tend
to be directly associated with
how many losses a producer
has, he said. So, if you're not
having problems with predators, then hunting or trapping
shouldn't be a chore for you,
and trying to lower coyote pop-
ulations to prevent future predation isn't an efficient thing to
do.
Dead livestock commonly attracts predators. Thus,
Ricketts recommends proper disposal of carcasses away
from calving, lambing or kidding areas to lower the risk of
a predator attack, noting that
young livestock become especially vulnerable.
All wild predators in
Kansas are mainly scavenging
when feeding on large food
items like livestock, he said.
If we have dead livestock near
those areas, then we are exposing ourselves to more predation by attracting predators to
a food source, so composting
and hauling off dead animals
are crucial and often overlooked.
Coyotes are the main predators of livestock in Kansas. Yet,
Ricketts said domestic dogs
account for a sizeable portion
of predation incidents as well.
To keep both kinds at bay, producers can strategically fence
locations to keep dogs and coyotes away from livestock.
I suggest woven wire fences
with 4-inch by 4-inch squares,
Ricketts said. If you've got
12-inch-wide openings six inches tall, coyotes can squeeze
right through those fences.
Also, there are some excellent
designs for electrified fencing.
He added: However, coyotes
and other predators can climb
over a fence, so if you're trying
to achieve 100% exclusion, we
want to have a hot wire on top
or have a tall enough fence.
According to Ricketts, predators may also try to expose
a fences weakness by digging
under it, which actually presents an opportunity to catch
them.
Digging under is likely
going to happen, but we can
use those crawl-under spots to
apprehend them before they
cause damage, he said. So,
don't plug those holes, call me
or your local extension office,
and I'll come out and show you
how to target and trap those
coyotes causing problems.
Beyond carcass disposal and
fencing, producers may choose
to practice night penning or
securing their livestock in a
barn or other structure during
night hours.
Coyotes usually hunt
right around sunrise, sunset
and through the nighttime,
Ricketts said. Accordingly,
this is one of the most effective
ways to exclude predation
especially for small ruminant
producers.
Guardian animals can also
keep livestock out of harms
way. Ricketts said the kind of
guardian depends on the best
fit for your operation.
Species often used as guardians include:
Llamas.
Donkeys.
Dogs.
Due to their status as a
migratory bird, non-lethal control strategies remain the most
common option for black vultures, which can be seen in
the far southeast corner of the
state.
Youre going to have to
haze them, Ricketts said.
Deterring them includes a
combination of using pyrotechnics, noise-making devices and
hanging fake, dead vultures
called effigies near roosting
sites to exclude those birds.

The century-old buildings decline echoes those
of other downtown buildings which have reflected
the decay in downtown commerce. Neglected in many
cases for decades, the old
brick structures often succumb to water damage from
deteriorating roofs and
decay at a faster rate the
longer those problems go
unaddressed. The expense
of their refurbishment and
the simple dearth of practical and profitable business
models to house inside them
makes their prospects dismal.

oftentimes seeking to flee
