Electric rate
increase in
Garnett likely
Tapped fund balances
may bring first rate hike
for electric since 2006
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Years of tapping
the citys utility revenue surpluses to subsidize other line
items in the city budget have
brought the chickens home
to roost, city manager Travis
Wilson told city commissioners.
So later this spring and
amid other headline-grabbing
inflationary woes, Garnett will
likely see an increase in the
cost of electricity the first
rate hike since 2006.
The warnings been coming
for years former city manager Joyce Martin cautioned
some 10 years ago that robbing utility surpluses the
city-owned electric, gas and
water services funded by customers to stave off mill levy
increases in local property tax
wasnt a strategy that could go
on forever. Previous city manager Chris Weiner brought up
similar points the last several
budget years.
Now present-day city manager Travis Wilson says the
hits on the citys electric revenues are too many to sustain.
The last rate increase for
Electric was done back in 2006
16 years ago, Wlson said.
The problem with that is the
cost of everything continues to
go up rates, taxes, fees, etc.,
are the city's revenue. We can't
keep eating the price increases
and running on the same revenues from 16 years ago.
Wilson said he didnt have
specifics on an increase yet,
but he hoped to draft a resolution with city attorney Terry
Solander and put it before commissioners in April with an
effective date possibly in May.
I'm not sure what the figures look like at this time,
however a rate increase unfortunately is needed, he said.
City Operations should be
treated like any other business.
If it costs you $50 to make a
product and you are only selling it for $40, your business
isn't going to last very long.
Outside Garnett in some
households in the county,
served by the former KCP&L,
now Evergy, home electric
costs doubled between 1995 and
2018. In a report to the Kansas
Senate Utilities Committee in
February of last year, Kansas
Corporation Commission officials said average residential
electricity rates across Kansas
declined by 4.79 percent.
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT City leaders will undertake a $4.4 million replacement and
refurbishing project of the citys electrical generators to put them back into
good graces with federal regulators and
hopefully stave off an emergency blackout in the city in time of need.
Representatives from the Kansas
Municipal Energy Agency discussed
the project with city commissioners
earlier this month and outlined the
repair and replacement project that
would upgrade two generators and
replace additional ones, allowing the
retirement of a remaining three whose
lifespan cant be extended due to their
advanced age.
The generators function as backup electricity for the city when its

Its crucial that House
Republicans remain united in
our efforts to push back against
Speaker Pelosis radical agenda thats only exacerbating
the crises facing hard-working
Americans, LaTurner said.
I want to thank Whip Scalise
for giving me this opportunity,
and I look forward to hitting
the ground running with the
rest of the team.
LaTurner, from Galena,
was State Senator from the
13th District from 2013 to 2017
until he resigned to serve an
appointment under Governor
Sam Brownback as Kansas
State Treasurer. He was elected
to congress in November 2020.
I am proud to announce
that Congressman LaTurner
will be joining our Whip
Team to fight against Speaker
Pelosis far-left agenda and
reverse President Bidens
disastrous policies that are
hurting hard-working Kansas
families. A dedicated public
servant who loves his country, Congressman LaTurner
previously served in both the
Kansas State Senate and as
Kansas State Treasurer, where
he championed fiscally conservative solutions that saved
taxpayer dollars. Congressman
LaTurner will play a vital
role on our Whip Team fighting for farmers, workers, and
small businesses just like
he already does for his constituents in East Kansas, said
House Republican Whip Steve
Scalise.

and wholl start the bidding for
me. A dollar and wholl make
it two, two dollars and wholl
make it three? Three dollars

for three dollars. But no, from

the auctioneer in a voice quiet

for the old violin and he held it
up with the bow. A thousand
dollars, and wholl make it two,

three thousand twice, going

The people cheered, but
some inquired we dont quite

the touch of the Masters hand.
Has the master touched your
life? In 2nd Corinthians 5:17
we read, Therefore, if anyone
is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old is gone, the new
has come!
Some might say I dont think
the Master could ever touch
my life. If we study scriptures
they are filled with individuals
who the Master touched. Peter,
Andrew, James and John were
all fishermen. Matthew was a

became Paul the great apostle
was the chief persecutor of the
Jewish Christians. All these
men became apostles of Christ.

Lord Jesus had spoken to them,

OPINION
Dont say fat
The social media troll mob accuses Florida
conservatives of trying to pass a Dont say
gay, law, but they swarm people who use the
word fat even though it is fat that kills.
Welcome to the discombobulated, self-absorbed purposeful ignorance and plasticized
word melding that is modern culture the kind
of thing folks in Ukraine are less and less occupied with lately.
Liberals in Florida did their best to malign
a legislative proposal in that state recently that
would have prohibited public schools from
teaching sex education and gender reassignment to kids in kindergarten through the third
grade thats 5 to 8 year olds, mind you. They
branded it the Dont Say Gay bill with the
idea of inflaming gays and gay sympathizers.
They succeeded in impressing that brand on
the mainstream media as well as companies
like Disney and others cowering in their offices
in fear of not being seen as sufficiently woke
in the eyes of Liberal America.
But after folks actually read the bill and
figured out the word gay never actually
appeared in the text of the legislation anywhere, the whole branding campaign kind of
went the way of New Coke.
In fact when people were actually apprised
of the specifics of the bill, the national tune
changed. A poll conducted for The Daily Wire
news service revealed 64 percent of 1,000
Americans surveyed said they opposed classroom instructions on sexual orientation and
gender identity in grades K-3, or at any level
if it is not presented in a manner that is age
or developmentally appropriate. Twenty-one
percent said they oppose the bill. Sixty-eight of
parents people who actually have kids, mind
you supported the actual language of the bill.
The Dont Say Gay fiasco paints a good picture of the power of words and how they can
be disconnected from facts in order to spread
beneficial misinformation. Other words that
could literally save lives, however, are actually
banned by modern entitlement culture because
they might hurt someones feelings.
Like the word fat.
The net of it is this: Fat people had a way
bigger chance of being hospitalized with Covid,
and a way bigger chance of dying than people
who arent fat. But Dr. Fauci and the media
and all the people who love to argue about what
rights you should be willing to give up out of an
abundance of caution spent the last two years
arguing about worthless paper mask policies
and whether you loved someone elses grandma
enough to get a Covid vaccine instead of telling the well-known truth that obesity boosted
Covids death punch.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
The website Science.com reviews data available in the summer of 2020 that spells it out.
An international team of researchers pooled
data from scores of peer-reviewed papers capturing 399,000 patients. They found that people
with obesity who contracted SARS-CoV-2 were
113% more likely than people of healthy weight
to land in the hospital, 74% more likely to be
admitted to an ICU, and 48% more likely to die.
It was no surprise for healthcare workers who
deal with the outcome of our fat way of life on
a daily basis obesity impairs immunity, leads
to chronic inflammation, heart disease and
diabetes and makes blood prone to clot all bad
news for your health in general but a combo
deal for danger of dying from Covid.
Forty percent of Americans are now classified as obese thats a lot of Covid risk.
Yet the threat of fat never got the billing
in the Covid dialogue the way other threat
factors did being elderly for instance, or God
forbid, not wearing a mask or getting the shot.
We seemed to have no problem giving people
orders during the pandemic, but we didnt dare
tell them one of the best things they could do
was to lose a few pounds.
The taboo is pretty clear, especially for
women. When plus-size model Tess Holiday
announced last year she was anorexic and in
recovery, some people questioned how she
could be anorexic when shes obese. She replied
that they didnt know the science, and accused
them of trying to dim her shine. It wasnt
about the health aspects, she said, it was about
loving myself.
Smokers, alcoholics, drug addicts its hard
for health professionals to get a message across
when our focus is on celebrating not curtailing our deficiencies.
Such ridiculous word soup may help us
paint a reality we think were entitled to, but it
wont keep us alive. ###

Yeah, the person who wrote in the Phone Forum
that they got a black eye and their friend who I
guess did this to them got a night in a motel for
it that storys just a bunch of BS. Let me tell
you, if they show up at a domestic at your house
and anybody has hit anybody, theyre going to
jail no two ways about it. And if you both fought
it out youre both going to jail. Remember back
in school when if you got in a fight on the playground they sent you to the principals office

theres a fight at school the school just calls the

Hey heres an idea for the city recreation center

years ago they used to do BB guns up at the

COMMENTARY
Governor Laura Kelly
Why do polls show that Latinos are
drifting to the GOP? Like a lot of things
that Washington doesnt understand, its
actually pretty simple.
When it comes to their expectations of
government, Hispanic voters are like the
rest of America: We want elected officials
to stop throwing up barriers to achieving
the American Dream. Were not looking
for handouts or too-good-to-be-true promises. We know that if we have an equal
opportunity, we are capable of supporting our families, accessing health care
and making sure our kids receive a quality education.
For years, progressives promised
that if we just give them more political
power, the government will make all
these things much easier. Put them in
charge in Washington, the promise goes,
and theyll approve economic stimulus bills, reorganize health care, fix our
schools and pass immigration reform.
And we responded we voted and
liberal politicians came into power.
But thats where things went wrong.
Instead of making our lives better, they
passed bills that spent our hard-earned
DANIEL GARZA, THE LIBRE INITIATIVE
money on things like corporate welfare
and new regulations from Washington
bureaucrats. They wasted our tax money
and rewarded interest groups. Instead of
empowering people to build better lives,
theyve offered a government-centered
agenda.
The results are clear. Real wages havent grown. Education isnt improving
in fact, most families continue to find
themselves with very limited options.
Health care is more expensive, and
choices are limited. And when it comes
to immigration, were still waiting for
action for measures to allow Dreamers
and others to contribute more fully to the
nation, modernize our agricultural workforce and enhance border security.
Many now recognize that we have little
to show for our efforts.
A sign in Spanish stands near voters as
they cast their ballots at stations inside
the La Familia Recreation Center in the
Baker neighborhood.
Recent polling shows that Hispanic
voters are evenly split between the
Democratic and Republican parties.
The message I keep hearing from
Hispanic voters is that all too often, liberals start in Washington and not at
the grassroots. Instead of listening and
responding, they show up with a plan
that must be sold to voters. Instead of
paying attention to our priorities in our
communities, the goal is to convince
them of a centrally planned, Washingtonknows-best approach.
No voter will accept being taken for
granted. Instead, we will seek out the
candidate who pays attention, who offean

When in doubt about Ukraine, dont blame Trump
More than a year into the Biden presidency, Vladimir Putin has invaded a sovereign
neighboring country and, of course, everyone
knows whos to blame — Bidens predecessor.
In an instance of misdirection for the ages,
a spate of commentary has pointed the finger
at Donald Trump for supposedly creating the
predicate for Putins brutalizing of Ukraine.
Theres no doubt that Trump has long
had an apparently uncontrollable reflex to
say warm things about Vladimir Putin. He
foolishly mused about pulling out of NATO.
And his withholding of aid to Ukraine for a
partisan political purpose — to pressure the
Ukrainian government to uncover dirt related
to the Bidens — was a tawdry abuse of power
(and led to his first impeachment).
No one should hold Trump up as a paragon,
but to blame him for sparking a delayed-fuse
geopolitical cataclysm that just happened to
explode on Bidens watch is wholly ridiculous.
Trump critic retired Lt. Col Alexander
Vindman, who had a star turn as a witness
at Trumps first impeachment, says Trump
emboldened Putin and left Ukraine unprepared to defend itself. Former U.S. ambassador
to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch says Trump
sent the world the message that Ukraine was a
mere pawn. A piece in The New York Review
of Books says Trump paved Putins way.
There is no support for this argument in a
world where facts and logic — or basic chronology — mean something.
First of all, Russia had grabbed Crimea
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
and started a long-running war in Eastern
Ukraine in 2014, long before anyone had any
idea that Donald Trump would run for president, let alone win. It clearly didnt take
Trump to give Putin the idea that he could
get away with invading Ukraine — he invaded Ukraine and got away with it under the
administration of Barack Obama, when, by
the way, Joe Biden was vice president.
It is now widely acknowledged that the
sanctions back then were too timid, a concession that Obama officials let Putin off too
lightly. Surely, that must have figured into
the Russian leaders calculation whether to
invade yet again.
Then, theres the fact that Barack Obama
steadfastly resisted providing Ukraine lethal
aid — after it had already been invaded.
Bipartisan opposition to Obama didnt move
him. He believed deeply in the appeasers
logic that it would be too provocative to give
Ukraine weapons simply to defend itself.
Again, Trump had nothing to do with this
misbegotten decision; indeed, he criticized it.
Trumps offense in 2019 was to delay military aid — including Javelin missiles — that
Congress had approved for Ukraine, in a
reversal of Obamas policy. If Trump never
should have engaged in this self-interested
gamesmanship, he released the assistance by
September 2019.
nother line of argument is that Putin didnt
invade Ukraine during the Trump administration because the Russian leader was already
getting everything he wanted from Trump,
including the destabilization of NATO. The
outward expression of Trumps doubts about
the alliance, though, largely took the form of
loud complaints about European countries
skimping on defense spending, which were
completely justified.
Indeed, its perverse that Angela Merkel
was made into a great heroine of Western
statesmanship at the same time she maintained a pathetic level of defense spending
and deepened Germanys energy dependence
on Russia in a way that was more dangerous
than anything Trump said or tweeted.
And it wasnt Trump who told Biden to
execute a humiliating withdrawal from
Afghanistan, to give Putin the gift of a summit after he menaced Ukraine the first time,
to remove sanctions on the Nord Stream 2

alternative approach and
who has a realistic plan for
delivering on promises. We
are seeking policy champions who see us as part of
the solution to Americas
social ills, not as yet another problem to be addressed
by an already bloated government.
No one should be surprised if that leads more
Hispanic voters to support
conservative candidates.
Exit polls from 2020 show
that 43% identify as moderates, with 32% calling themselves conservative and just
25% liberal.
Republican
presidential hopeful Donald Trump
holds a sign a supporter
brought showing his support for hispanic voters.
And such voters know
that before the onset of an
unforeseeable pandemic,
Hispanic unemployment
reached an all-time low and
revenues for Latino-owned
businesses were on the rise.
Its not hard to see why
they would be open to an
approach centered on the
free market and individual
empowerment.
Where I reside, in South
Texas, conservative gains
are obvious and historic. In the states recent
Republican
primary,
turnout shattered records
including in majority-Hispanic counties that
have reliably supported
Democratic candidates for
decades.
In a sign of how quickly the terrain has shifted,
recent polling shows that
Hispanic voters are evenly

parties.

This is good news for all
but the most committed ideologues. It was not
long ago that both parties
tended to see Hispanic
voters as already decided.
Candidates invested little
time and effort in genuinely
connecting with voters on
the issues.
Now thats changing.
Candidates in both parties
are recognizing that our
support is up for grabs
if they spend the time and
effort to engage. It helps
ensure that voters are educated and informed, and it
helps elected officials both
to genuinely serve voters.
Thats better for everyone
in the long run.
All of that is on Biden, and
all of it — especially the Afghan
fiasco — had to make an impression on Putin. Now, it may well
have been that Putin was undeterrable, but that makes it all
the more outlandish and dumb
to blame a former U.S. president for his depredations.

AAA: $4 Gas the Tipping Point for Most Americans
WICHITA, Kan. New survey
data from AAA finds that twothirds of Americans felt gas
prices were too expensive just
month ago when the national
average was at $3.53 per gallon.
Now with the national average
at an all-time high, Americans
may have reached a tipping
point. Over half (59%) said they
would make changes to their
driving habits or lifestyle if the
cost of gas rose to $4 per gallon.
If gas were to reach $5.00, which
it has in the Western part of
the country, three-quarters said
they would need to adjust their
lifestyle to offset the spike at
the pump.
In Kansas, the average price
for a gallon of regular unleaded
gasoline reached $3.79 on March
9, up 40 cents in just a week.
Among Americans who said
they would make changes in
response to higher gas prices, a
majority (80%) said they would
opt to drive less, with some differences among age groups:
18 to 34 year-olds are almost
three times as likely as those 35
and over to consider carpooling (29% vs 11%), which would
likely involve major changes to
their daily travel plans.
Those 35 and over are more
likely to favor combining trips
and errands (68% vs 52%) and to
reduce shopping or dining out
(53% vs. 43%).
While many Americans
may adapt their daily habits to
make up for higher gas prices,
it likely wont have as much of
an impact on summer travel.
AAAs survey found that 52% of
Americans have plans to take a
vacation this summer. Of those,
42% said they would not consider changing their travel plans
regardless of the price of gas.

Ripple Effects of Russias
Invasion of Ukraine
Since the New Year, the
national average has continued a steady climb due to
strained supply and increased
demand. But Russias invasion
of Ukraine in late February
caused oil prices to spike further and in the last month since
the conflict began. These are
numbers not seen at the pump
since the financial crisis in 2008,
the highest on record until this
week (note: AAA historic data is
not adjusted for inflation).
While the conflict continues
on the far side of the globe, consumers will likely not see relief
any time soon. AAA offers the
following advice to help drivers
ease some of the pain theyre
feeling at the pump:
Keep your vehicle in top
shape with routine inspections
and in between, make sure
your tires are properly inflated.
Underinflated tires are a drag
on fuel economy.
Map your route before you
go to minimize unnecessary
turnarounds and backtracking.
Avoid peak traffic times and if
possible go to "one-stop shops
where you can do multiple tasks
(banking, shopping, etc.).
Fuel economy peaks at
around 50 mph on most cars,
then drops off as speeds increase.
Reducing highway speeds by
5 to 10 mph can increase fuel
economy by as much as 14%.
A car engine consumes
one quarter to one-half gallon
of fuel per hour when idling,
but a warm engine only takes
around 10 seconds worth of fuel
to restart. Where safe to do so,
shut off your engine if you will
be stopped for more than a minute.
Use "fast pass" or express
toll lanes to avoid unnecessary
stops or slowdowns on the highway.
Only use premium gas in
vehicles that recommend or
require it. Paying for premium
gas for a vehicle that takes regular is a waste of money and is of
no benefit to the vehicle.
Color of Awakening
Kim Baldwin,
County farmer
McPherson
My family and I recently enjoyed
a few days off the farm having
some fun in the snow in northern New Mexico.
While homeward bound from
our spring break ski trip, there
were signs of a new season
quickly approaching during our
drive.
Over our nearly eight hours
on the road, our window views
changed from mountainous
snowy landscapes highlighting
herds of grazing elk to wintery
grasslands dotted with antelope.
As we traveled from New
Mexico into Oklahoma and then
through western Kansas, the
rangeland views slowly changed
to farm ground. Remnants of the
2021 cotton, corn and sorghum
crops were ever present as we
took in the landscape. Mama
cows and their young calves
now occupied the fields that had
grain harvested from them last
fall.
We could also see that this
years wheat crop was slowly
coming out of dormancy.
As we continued eastbound
back to our home, the wheat
fields that displayed small
patches of greens among fields
of mostly drab browns slowly
transformed into larger and
more colorful sections of green.
The color variations continued to change as we continued
towards our central Kansas
home.
While appreciating the extra
hour of daylight during our
drive, I was able to take in the
view of the fields as we got closer
to our farm. The evening sunlight allowed me a glimpse of a
sure sign of a quickly-approaching spring as we returned to our
neighborhood. Carpets of vividly green wheat fields occupied
my view. The bright green blanketed entire fields and provided
an unexpected pop of color.
The color was so intense
and obviously noticeable that
I immediately pointed it out to
everyone in the car. We had only
been gone a few days, but within that time spring had clearly
sprung!
The bright green views not
only offered my family a warm
welcome home but provided me
with a simple reminder that we
are getting closer to the end of a
long, dreary and cold winter.
Those beautiful windshield
views of bright green fields provided me a gentle assurance that
warmer temperatures, longer
days and our busy season on the
farm are just around the corner.
As the days continue to get
longer and warmer, the wheat
near our home continues to
showcase its magnificent beauty
with its dazzling pop of emerald. While some might believe
that the view of a waving golden
wheat field in the summer is one
of the best views in the world,
Id argue the magnificent green
fields of wheat in the spring are
near the top of my list. To me,
its a color that represents an
awakening that ushers in the
promise of new life, growth and
warmer days to come.

journey that led to her business with members of P.E.O.
Chapter Y at their meeting
March 7, 2022 in the Garnett

to process fibers from rabbits,
sheep, alpaca, and yak. Dyeing
the fibers, combing, carding,
and spinning fibers into yarn
were all part of her education.
Her childhood knowledge of
crocheting was relearned and
the purchase of a loom helped
to create the many special
items that she bought for members to see.

Brant McGhee gave the
Communion Meditation on
March 13 over the importance of the meditation
and the Lord's Supper. The
Communion should always
point us to the cross and to
the death of Jesus. It should
be an act of worship, a remembering to strengthen our faith.
We should see the supper as
a weekly recharging of our
faith, and help us to be able
to help others in their faith.
Jesus' sacrifice on the cross
gives us our salvation. The
first Communion gave us our
New Covenant. Jesus paid
the sacrifice one and for all.
Reflect on this new covenant
that binds us together.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon, "Trust God.
Joseph Did", over Hebrews
11:22. Joseph was the son of
Jacob, the favored son. He had
a couple dreams that were
interpreted as his brothers
bowing down to him, and they
hated him for all of this. His
brothers plotted to kill him,
then to put him in a well
and let him die. They finally
stripped him of the coat his
father gave to him and sold
him to a caravan. Joseph was
stripped of his identity (his
coat), but saved from death; he
was stripped of sin, but saved
to serve; he was stripped of
flesh, and saved forever. His
situation made him realize
his need for God. His need to
strip off his worldly identity.
He was placed in the service
of Potifer, and then sentenced
to prison when Potifer's wife
lied and accused him of trying to attack her. Then when
Pharoah needed a dream
interpreted, he was brought
back out of prison and raised
up to a powerful position. A
position that helped saved
God's chosen people. If we stay
in our sin, we are not going
to be able to serve God and
others in the way God wants
us to. Strip off your sin, hand
it over to Jesus, take up your
new nature, and start working and living in the life giving way that God has planned
for you. (Ref: Hebrews 11:12
& 12:1; Genesis 37; Proverbs
16:18; 1 Peter 5:6; Matthew 5:3;
Colossians 3:9-10; Philippians
3:12-13; James 1:2-3; Romans
5:3-5; Ephesians 4:22) Hear this
and all our sermons by using
your favorite podcast app, on
our Facebook page, or on our

Darren McGhee gave the
Communion Meditation on
March 6 as well. What kind
of attitude should we have
when we take Communion?
Communion is a time for
thanksgiving, knowing that
Jesus is in our presence. If
Jesus isnt here, this isnt
church, were not truly worshipping, and were wasting
our time. Are we here in His
name, or out of duty? Are we
here to see Jesus, or to be
seen by others? Are we here
to honor, praise and glorify
Him? Lets start making our
communion service a time for
counting our blessings. The
Lords Supper is about looking back. Looking back on
his life, death and resurrection. Without the blood, there
is no forgiveness and we are
deprived of eternal life.
Ben Prasko gave the sermon, Trust God – Loved in
Vast, Inconceivable Creation
about the life of Job. Job was
a man of complete integrity.
He had wealth, a large family,
land, and animals. Satan caus-
es him to lose everything! His
friends came by and told him
that bad things happen to bad
people. He denied any wrongdoing. As humans, we try to
define good, right and justice.
Job takes his case straight to
God, but God asks him, Do
you know how the eagle flies,
do you know how the deer
gives birth, do you know how
I formed the land and split
the seas? This overwhelms
and humbles Job. Gods ways
are beyond our comprehension. So why does God allow
suffering? Just like Job, we
dont get an answer, and well
never know Gods big picture.
Trials and struggles will come
because we sin. And he is good
and just, and he knows what is
best for us. (Ref: Book of Job;
Psalm 147:5-6; Matthew 10:2931; 1 Corinthians 13:9; Romans
8:28; John 16:33; Romans 5:2-5)

King said basic security
measures shouldnt be ignored
even with property located in
what might be considered fairly highly trafficked areas.
I would recommend people to try and keep things out
of plain view of the public,
King said. Keep the keys out
of your vehicles and lock your
items up at all times. I would
also encourage people to have
home surveillance cameras
put up.
The Kansas Bureau of
Investigation said in its most
recent state crime report 2020
logged the lowest number of
property crimes since 1973,
and that property crimes in
general had been declining in
recent years. Experts say how-
ever higher gasoline prices and
other inflationary pressure in
the current economy may have
an impact as criminals attempt
to handle that extra expense by
committing additional crimes,
particularly stealing gasoline
from vehicles.

Governor issues State of Disaster
Emergency for wildland fires
Gov. Laura Kelly issued a verbal declaration of a State of
Disaster Emergency today, due
to the increased fire danger
across the state today and into
the week. Kansas is in a Red
Flag Warning which means
warm temperatures, very low
humidities, and stronger winds
are expected to combine to produce an increased risk of fire
danger. All outdoor burning
should be avoided today.
Today there is a very high
to extreme fire danger exists
across the state, with extreme
fire danger over the western
third of the state.
The declaration authorizes the use of state resources
and personnel to assist with
response and recovery operations in affected counties that
are impacted by a wildland fire.
The Kansas Forest Service is
pre-staging a single engine air
tanker from Heinen Brothers
in western Kansas this morning and will also have T95
available for aerial fire suppression assets.
All Kansans should be extra
vigilant if burning, said Kelly.
More than once in recent
years, we have seen the devastation that can result from
wildfires. Homes have been
destroyed, livestock killed,
thousands of acres of farmland
completely burned, resulting in
millions of dollars in economic
loss. Please keep yourself and
your community safe and use
extra precautions anytime you
are doing any burning.
The prolonged drought and
extended fire season have
taken its toll on firefighters and
firefighting resources since
mid-December, said Mark
Neely, State Fire Management
Officer, Kansas Forest Service.
We ask all Kansans to be extra
careful and report all fires
immediately.
The Kansas Division of
Emergency Management did a
partial activation of the State
Emergency Operations Center
in Topeka at 11 a.m. Sunday.
Emergency Support Function
partners that will be supporting the SEOC and KDEM to
provide assistance to county
and local responders are the
Office of the State Fire Marshal,
Kansas Forest Service, Kansas
Department of Transportation,
Department of Children and
Families, Adjutant Generals
Department, and Kansas
Highway Patrol.
and in a shady location until
planting. When moving the
tree, lift it by the root ball or
pot not by the trunk.
3. Before planting, remove
all wires, labels, cords or anything else tied to the plant.
Plant the tree on solid ground,
not in fill dirt.
4. Dig a hole deep enough
so that the tree sits slightly
above nursery level. The width
should be three times the width
of the root ball.
5. Remove all containers
from the root ball, including
plastic and peat pots. Roll burlap and wire baskets back into
the hole, cutting as much of the
excess as possible.
6. Backfill the hole with soil
that was removed. Make sure
the soil is loosened, without
clods or clumps.
7.Dont cut back branches of
the tree after planting except
those that are rubbing or damaged.
Woodworth, a research professor in K-States Department of
Animal Sciences and Industry,
worked with Ohio State meat
scientist Ben Bohrer to complete this project.
The researchers also reported an approximate loss of $5
associated with carcass and
meat quality characteristics,
which translates to the packer
and consumer having a less
desirable product from gilts
compared to barrows, according to Woodworth.
Right now, the industry
manages barrows and gilts
similarly in the barn, and
chooses to overlook the differences in growth performances between the two, he said.
This work was done to figure
out how much difference there
is between barrows and gilts
(and) if there are opportunities to feed or manage the two
populations so that there is a
better outcome at the end for
the producer and the packer.
The bottom line, Woodworth
adds, is were giving up about
$3.60 worth of opportunity by
managing gilts the way we do
today. And the carcass quality
ends up being about $5 per gilt
that were leaving on the table,
relative to how barrows perform.
Faccin said the industry
expects that gilts and barrows

Study places value on differences in growth
and economics between barrows, gilts
MANHATTAN, Kan. A
Kansas State University
post-doctoral student has taken
a detailed look at how pigs are
fed and managed in the United
States to help swine producers
understand where they might
ultimately improve their profits.
Jamil Faccin reviewed 34
studies spanning 22 years and
16,000 pigs to determine differences in growth rates and carcass characteristics between
barrows (a castrated male pig)
and gilts (a female that has not
been bred).
What he found is eye-opening for the swine industry.
Gilts are associated with
5.9% lower average daily gain,
11.4% lower average daily feed
intake and 4.3% better feed
efficiency compared to barrows, said Faccin, who came
to K-State from Brazil.
Further, he said that gilts
typically have 11.7% less backfat, 15.2% less marbling, 2-3
points higher iodine value (a
measure of fat quality) and
4.5% increased lean percentage.
Compared to barrows, the
reduced growth performance
and carcass weight results
in an estimated loss of $3.60
per gilt in live performance,
Faccin said.

Ten rules for planting trees
By Pat Melgares, K-State
Research and Extension news
service
MANHATTAN, Kan. Home
gardeners wanting to add shade
to their landscape should plan
to do a little research in order
to pick the right tree for their
particular yard, said Kansas
State University horticulture
expert Ward Upham.
Choose trees that are adapted to your location, he said.
Consider whether the tree
produces nuisance fruit, or
if there are disease-resistant
varieties available. And consider the mature size of the tree
to make sure you have enough
room.
Upham shared ten rules for
planting trees in a home landscape, including:
1. Select the right tree for
the site. K-State has a list of
trees recommended for Kansas
available online.
2. Keep the tree well watered
REAL ESTATE
will have some differences in
growth performance, but perhaps never fully understood
the value that is lost. His work
could give producers a better
sense of how much money they
could invest to improve the
growth performance of gilts -and still make a profit.
Now (producers) have the
numbers, Faccin said. If
youre spending $2 to improve
some part of your management
(that makes up the $3.60 in
loss), thats good. If you dont
know what that value is, its
tough as a producer to know
how and what to improve.
Faccins report also takes
a look at numerous qualities
associated with raising pigs
that could be opportunities
for improving management,
including final body weight,
sort loss, mortality, carcass
composition, meat color, marbling and more.
The full report is available online from the K-State
Department of Animal Sciences
and Industry.
What weve done with this
work is weve dangled a carrot, Woodworth said, and
now youll have people figuring out how to go grab the carrot and close some of that gap
between barrows and gilts.

Swope (Kasen Fudge), a city
planner for whom she has
designed the zoos new crocodile house. The problem is that,
to forestall incessant queries
as to why shes not married,
she has over the years created an imaginary husband and

paid taxes. With the assistance
of her neighbor Casey (Molly
Comfort) and Caseys fianc,

Franklins Bostonian mother
(Faith Miller) shows up unexpectedly, things get a little
crazy.
