Allens attorney asks
for competency eval
Comments to family,
others lead lawyer to
question mental state
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
PLEASANTON The lawyer
for the Parker man accused of
killing his mother in December
by crashing his vehicle into
hers on a rural Linn County
road is seeking a competency evaluation to determine if
James Rocky Allen is fit to proceed in the case against him.
Attorney Steven Jensen
filed the motion with Linn
County District Court March
12, noting that comments Allen
made to family and jail staff at
the Bourbon County Jail had
raised concerns as to his mental well being.
Defendant has not been
seen by a psychiatrist while
in custody and is not taking
any medications to address
any psychological or psychiatric issues, Jensens motion
to the court read. The request
went on to ask for assessment
and treatment of any possible
issues and named a psychiatrist from the region as a suggested contact.
As of late last week the
court had not yet acted on the
motion. Allens preliminary
hearing was continued from a
previous date in January and
the subsequent rescheduling
of a March 2 date to the present hearing date of Tuesday,
March 30. Action on the motion
for a psychological examination however is expected to
delay any hearing until late
spring or early summer.
Investigators allege the

about-face
turn on Keitel
Allen
Road
near
Parker while
her vehicle was stopped in the
road during the December 15
incident. Charging documents
say he then accelerated off
the road and into a pasture to
strike Charlotte Grimes car at
least once more before he fled
the scene and then returned in
a different vehicle.
Kansas
Bureau
of
Investigation agents who interviewed Allen the day after the
incident at the Bourbon County
Jail ended their interview due
to Allens bizarre behavior,
but not until after Allen told
the officers he had a lot done
before you (law enforcement)
got there (the crash scene),
thats why youre have a hard
time figuring out I was covering my tracks. The officers
noted in the probable cause
affidavit for Allens arrest that
he made those comments after
having been advised of his
Miranda Rights.
The affidavit noted Allen
admitted to a Linn County
Sheriffs Deputy that he was
driving the other vehicle
involved in the crash in question.
The court in January
granted a motion for protective orders for Allens medical
records from Overland Park
Regional Medical Center,
where he was taken by ambulance after the collision. Linn
County Attorney James Brun
was then granted a subpoena for those medical records,
which are not public according
to federal law.
A person judged to be incompetent cant be convicted of a
crime because according to the
law their mental state denies
them the ability to adequately participate and make lawful decisions regarding their
own case. Being competent to
stand trial is unrelated to an
accuseds state of mind at the
time a crime is alleged to have
happened.
If determined incompetent
to stand trial by a judge based
on a competency evaluation
and other factors, a prosecution must halt until the court
determines an individual has
had sufficient treatment to be
deemed competent.

County workers commuting outside the week fuel cost to commute into over $40.
Gas prices nationally have
been rising steadily ever since
December, reaching levels not
seen since spring 2019. The average price of gas nationally last
Thursday was $2.88, which was
30 cents more than the price the
month prior and 66 cents higher
than the price a year earlier. The
national average was last this
high on May 8, 2019, at $2.8832.
Analysts say several factors

February, March and April and
an annoucement that it will not

the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal
Khashoggi in 2018, no doubt strained relations between the U.S. and oil producing
nations in the Middle East. Biden has also
balked at peace deals in the region facilitated by Trump and froze arms sales to
the United Arab Emirates which was part
of Trumps deal.
In one of his earliest executive orders,
Biden halted the leasing of federal lands
for oil and gas development. Production
from those wells makes up about 22 percent of U.S. oil production. Biden also
halted construction of the Keystone XL
Pipeline, which analysts say probably
had no concrete impact on immediate
pricing.
Other factors include an increase in
U.S. demand for gasoline, as consumers
start driving more with state and local
governments lifting business restrictions
related to decreasing cases of Covid19,
which puts upward pressure on the price
of oil.
Refiners also are in the midst of switching over to summer blends of gasoline,
which started March 15. Summer gas is
blended to have a lower vapor pressure,
so it wont evaporate in the heat, designed
to help to cut pollution, according to
Robert Sinclair Jr., spokesman for AAA.
Since those blends, which are produced
annually, are harder to refine, theyre
more expensive, Sinclair said.
AAA offers these tips to conserve gasoline:
Avoid sudden starts and hard accelerations.
Follow the speed limit. Speeds over 50
mph cause significant aerodynamic drag.
Hidden in
the numbers
Fewer jobless claims
look good, but loss of
private jobs worrying
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA A year after the
start of Governor Kellys statewide private and public sector
Covid19 lockdown, Anderson
County has seen fewer unemployment claims than pre-pandemic percentages and even
increased the local labor
force according to Kansas
Department of Labor statistics.
But in the six-county region
including Anderson, Allen,
Franklin, Linn, Coffey and
Miami County, there are still
fewer private sector jobs than
there were a year ago before
Governor Kellys statewide
lockdown and thats a problem
thats hidden by what looks like
strong percentages of job seekers finding work. Figures from
the Bureau of Labor Statistics
show the six-county region to
have a lower job loss in the pri-
vate sector, down 2.4 percent
comparing figures through
September of both 2019 and
2020, compared to 3.8 percent
for all non-metro counties in
Kansas.
Likewise, Kansas unemployment remains higher than
the assumption based on those
labor force percentages, with
57,000 fewer private-sector jobs
in December compared to a
year ago; January employment
was down about 52,000 over the
prior year statewide.
Mainstream media tends to
focus on the unemployment
rate, which at 3.5% for January
sounds low. But having 52,000
fewer jobs than a year ago
tells a more complete picture
of the economic challenge that
remains.
Moreover, at the lowest
point of Democrat Kansas
Governor Laura Kellys lockdowns in April of last year,
Kansas private-sector employment was lower than it had
been in decades. More than

John the Baptist set the example
In the 3rd chapter of Johns
gospel the apostle relates the
story of John the Baptist concerning Jesus. John the Baptist
is the one who Isaiah the prophet
identifies in Isaiah 40:3 as follows. A voice of one calling: In
the desert prepare the way for the
LORD; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God.
John could actually be called an
Old Testament prophet. John
brought the first word the Jews
had heard from God in 400 years,
referred to as the silent years
when God did not speak through
prophets or act in any manner.
John seems to walk onto the
pages of scripture right out of
the Old Testament. His dress,
food and mannerisms were befitting of an Old Testament prophet.
People who place themselves in
the service of God have no guarantee to their length of service or
what God might be using them
for. John came and went rather
quickly but not without accomplishing the task God wanted
him to perform. He was to prepare the way for Jesus. John
did that introducing the Jews to
two New Testament concepts;
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
Repentance Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near. (Matt.
3:2) And baptism. People went
out to him from Jerusalem and
all Judea and the whole region of
the Jordan, confessing their sins
they were baptized by him in the
Jordan River.
Both of these concepts were
foreign to the Jews and it took
time for John to introduce them.
What John did allowed Jesus to
immediately start his ministry
of the coming kingdom. John
exhibits for us the type of people who Jesus chooses to work
through. God had prepared John
in a unique way and while no
one today will be presented the
opportunity John had his service
provides us a glimpse of what
it is like to serve God to our
fullest. John was selfless, com-
pletely oblivious to his self. In
John 3:27-30, John says. A man
can receive only what is given
him from heaven ….. That joy
is mine and it is now complete.
He (Jesus) must become greater; I must become less. John
lived in a different time, however, other than Jesus no man
delivered a more dramatic message than John. He stared down
the Pharisees and the teachers
of the law, as well as the entire
Roman Empire. He was executed by Herod because Herod was
afraid his popularity would cause
a revolt.
What did Jesus say of John?
Among those born of a woman
there has not risen one greater
than John the Baptist. (Mat.
11:11) If you want to serve Jesus
you must like John become less
and Jesus must become greater
or in Jesus own words, You
must take up your cross and follow me.
Ministry on the Holiness
of God.

James Martin Marty
Oestreicher, age 61, of
Princeton, Kansas, passed
away, Wednesday, March 17,

home. King
of
Irish
Goodbyes,
to those closest to Marty
knows
it
comes as no
surprise he
left the party
Oestreicher
early- ironically on St.
Pattys Day.
Marty was born Friday,
March 11, 1960 at Olathe,
Kansas, the son of James Jim
Oestreicher Jr., and Barbara
J. (Robertson) OestreicherRichards.
He was a lifelong resident
of the Richmond/Garnett area
moving to rural Princeton in
2020. Marty often shared stories
growing up in Richmond where
he, his brother and his buddies
would cruise Richmonds Main
Street, set hay bales on fire,
and even threw a 50 kegger
party!
Marty graduated from
Central Heights High School
with the class of 1978. He was
super-fast! He lettered in track,
basketball, and football. To the
very end, he would challenge
anyone to a foot race.
He was united in marriage to Mary (Scheuermann)
Snyder April 9, 1983, they
later divorced as friends. In
1986, Marty became a father
to Audrey and 2 years later
he had a son, Aaron. His children were his pride and joy. If
you ever wanted to find Marty,
you needed to only look in two
places: the garden or wherever
his children were. Marty was
present at every sports game;
helped coach his sons baseball team(s); and was Audreys
lucky block holder in track.
He loved his children with his
whole heart.
Marty began his trade as
an automotive painter with
Guidon-Rigidform in the 80s
and eventually moved to production supervisor with Astro
in the early 90s to 2000s. He
currently worked in production at Kalmar. He affectionately dubbed his co-workers
and friends that he cared about
with loveable nicknames. A
few favorites include: Meatloaf;
Cheese-Puff; Pooper; The
Meathead; Slick 50; Baby Birds;
and so many more. Marty had a
vocabulary all his own.
He is a member of St. Therese
Catholic Church and a former member of the Knights of
Columbus, St. Boniface. Marty
was an active member with
the Richmond Fair, formerly
serving on the Richmond Fair
Board. He took pride in lining
up the parade during the fair.
He often described it as reigning in feral cats! He enjoyed
his hunting trips to South
Dakota, growing blue ribbon
veggies, 100 lb. pumpkins, and
fishing trips with family.
Marty enjoyed the simple
things and was salt of the earth.
Children around the area knew
Marty could/would never say
no to any type of fundraising.
He bought all the trash bags,
cookies, and fruit baskets one
person could handle. If you
were part of the 414 N. Spruce
St. Gang- you also knew he kept
a house full of groceries and
ice cream on hand at all times.
Marty was selfless and would
do anything for anyone.
He was preceded in death
by his father, Jim Oestreicher
Jr. and beloved grandparents, the Robertsons and the
Oestreichers.
He leaves behind his children, Audrey Faye LeVota
(Phil) and Aaron James
Oestreicher (Kaleigh), both of
Garnett; his mother, Barbara
J. Richards of Ottawa; his
brother, Steve Oestreicher
(Suzan Ball) of Richmond, sister, Connie Guilfoyle (Curt) of
Richmond; sister, Katie Riemer
(Tom) of Ottawa; girlfriend, Joy
Mildfelt of Richmond, and several beloved nieces and nephews. Marty was also looking
forward to being a first-time
grandpa to Aaron and Kaleigh.

Thursday, March 25, 2021 at St.
Boniface Church in Scipio.

OPINION
New woke military is Bravo Sierra
Dear Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps
General David H. Berger: The actions of some of
your non-coms lately is Bravo Sierra. Kindly get
your people in order. That is all.
In what are apparently these post-Trump,
downgraded DefCon days of the Joe Biden presidency (or whoever it is thats actually running
the country while the president keeps the breakneck pace of a single work agenda item per day),
the American military finds itself with a lot of
time on its hands and a brand new disrespectful
attitude toward civilians.
In fact, that some of its upper echelon command staff and senior non-commissioned officers had enough time to engage a slap fight with
Fox News Tucker Carlson over a recent piece
Carlson aired about the new woke-a-fying of
the U.S. military, specifically an address the
president gave recently pledging his intensity
of purpose and mission to really change the culture and habits of the U.S. military.
Subsequently during that speech, Biden reads
aloud from his teleprompter that his new, hip
Pentagon is working hard to make women feel
more comfortable as elements of the nations
defense. Planners were redesigning body armor
to better fit a womans body and updated their
hairstyles. What galled the commentator the
most was the utter non-sensibility of spending
who-knows-how-much taxpayer money designing a flight suit for pregnant women.
Because of course, pregnant women are the
fighting mainstay of the United States Air force.
Carlson wasnt making light of female service
members, he was issuing a siren call about the
stupidity of woke culture invading the military
and the risks it poses to all of us. He noted something that might seem obvious to most of us: we
dont really care if the military is adequately
woke as much as we care if its good at killing
our enemies and blowing up their stuff. That is,
after all, our militarys job.
Carlson rightly noted that of all the institutions and private businesses and public agencies so intent on resetting standards to play
favorites based on our post-modern interpretations of race or gender or white guilt or sexual
oddity, most of us would really like it if the
military just stayed above all that and focused
on hitting what it aims at.
Poll most of the members of the U.S. armed
services and I will buy you a Grape Nehi if most
of them dont agree with the above. The difference of course is that The Swamp has nestled in
the command ranks of the military for decades
now a strata where politics is every bit as
important as winning battles and where looking
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
good to your superiors and their politically correct motivations is always more important than
doing your job.
Thats more important now that Biden picked
Lloyd Austin to head the Pentagon. This new
wokeness is Austins doing he set aside a
century of military non-partisanship to administer a kind of purity test to top Pentagon brass.
Basically if you werent woke, you were out
on your ear. The important thing, in Austins
view, more so than destroying our enemies will
to resist, is that modern culture invigorate the
military with its newfound sense of justice and
equity.
Even with all this, it was surprising that
Master Gunnery Sergeant Scott Stalker, the
Marine who heads the new U.S. Space Command,
took time away from his rigorous space training
to attack Carlson by noting Carlsons opinions
came from a guy who never served in the military. Its not uncommon for military service
members to harbor those types of opinions in
private, but to slam a civilian publically not
to mention a member of the media was way off
the rails of what used to be accepted protocol. So
was the backlash Carlson got from other members of military in an unprecedented display of
partisanship.
This is what happens when bad leadership
either doesnt know or doesnt care to remember
that the American military answers to the civilians it protects. The military doesnt argue with
the media it just goes about its job and maintains its bearing. Bad leadership allows mouthpieces like Stalker to make civilians question
whether discipline is still in place. An undisci-

I was just calling about that caller wanted to
know what we thought about the elected official flying the Confederate Flag. I think its
great, cause its America. That elected official
can fly whatever flag they want to fly. Perhaps
their family has ties to the South. Maybe some
ancestors died in the war between the states.
That doesnt mean they hate blacks or theyre
pro-slavery. Its time people stand up and take
a stand because without freedom what is this
country? This person that called in is part of
this new cancel club that I just cannot stand.
So thats what I think about it. Go ahead and
fly your flag. Even the Oakland Raider flag or
even the Rainbow flag as much as it disgusts
me. Thank you.

Stripping is no way to empower young women

CANDACE OWENS THE DAILY WIRE
in front of the world and simulating sex acts
with other women. This, theyre told, will
empower them. This, CNN says, is positive sex-positive, whatever that means.
But the reality is that whats really being
stripped away is their dignity.
Disagree? Show me the father or mother or
sister or brother who would be proud to watch
their loved one acting like Cardi B or Megan
Thee Stallion last Sunday.
Being a young woman in our society is
already an almost impossible challenge, made
even more difficult by social media metastasizing into a constant feature of their lives.
Every day, every hour, every minute, theyre
bombarded with messages and images telling
them who and what they must be. The Cardi
Bs of the world are setting the behavioral
standard for the most vulnerable part of our
population, and that standard is deeply harmful.
What young girls need is support as they
grow into dignified women, not a blinding
encouragement to stand as blatant and shameless sexual objects for the explicit enjoyment
of men.
I want to conclude by speaking directly to
the target of this toxic culture, to the young
girls and women who often reach out to me
with questions about how to navigate todays
society.
Ask yourself whether the attention you
may get from imitating Cardi B or Megan
Thee Stallion is worth your dignity and self-respect. Ask yourself whether Cardi Bs degenerate behavior is worth a small trophy made of
worthless metal. Ask yourself whether women
like Cardi B are truly happy. Are they happy
with their relationships, or their lives? I think
youll find a lot of these supposed role models
deep down are miserable.
Some will try and dilute this issue as another shallow political debate, but its crucial
that we realize that Cardi B is indicative of
a far deeper problem. This isnt about right
or left its about right and wrong. The continued promotion of Cardi Bs toxic message,
alongside her elevation as a cultural hero, is
a symptom of a disease festering within our
society. The disease of a lack of morality, of

Bidens Covid relief bill: Bad policy, bad faith
Joe Biden has signed what may well end up
being the biggest accomplishment of his presidency, an enormous $1.9 trillion COVID relief
bill.
With his other priorities likely to molder in
the Senate, the spending will probably stand
as a signature statement of Bidens approach
to governance — and it should be a damning
one.
The legislation is a misnomer; it is neither
a COVID nor a relief bill. Only a tiny portion
of the spending in the bill goes toward vaccinations and other priories directly related to the
pandemic.
Much of the rest of the spending is not
well-suited, or even designed, to respond
to current economic conditions, which are
increasingly favorable.
Democrats are telling themselves that its
like 1933, when we were in the midst of a
depression, whereas its more like 1983, when
we were coming out of a punishing recession.
Or to put it another way, the Biden bill
is reacting to the wrong spring. It is no longer the cataclysmic spring of 2020, with the
economy shuttered and nothing to fight the
virus except social distancing and masks, but
the much more hopeful spring of 2021, with
the economy opening back up, COVID cases
steeply declining and vaccinations ramping
up massively.
Jobless claims have decreased, and personal incomes are higher than when the pandemic
started. Both the Congressional Budget Office
Hey, woke cancel culture caller, you have the
right to be offended by the Confederate Flag just
like an elected county official has a right to fly
it. But you being offended by it does not trump
his right to fly it. Do I like the confederate flag?
No, but I totally support their right to fly it,
county elected official or not.

Cardi B is presented by the media as a role
model for women and young girls.
Were told shes an icon of sexual liberation, the paragon of female empowerment.
Shes portrayed as a fierce feminist and was
even named Billboard Woman of the Year in
2020, with the outlets headline quoting Cardi
B declaring and this is a real quote I like
justice. But I also like popping my (deleted).
Most recently, her performance at the 63rd
annual Grammy Awards garnered thunderous applause from our adoring mainstream
media, with Variety Magazine cheering her
message of sexual empowerment and CNN
lauding her sex-positive performance.
But heres the truth. Cardi B is a symptom of a pervasive sickness in our culture: a
sickness promoted by the Left and presented
under the guise of promoting and empowering
women. In reality, however, it is a toxic ideology and the polar opposite of true feminism.
Any woman whos honest with herself feels
it every day. We see it on social media, in our
entertainment, and on the news. Our society
has fallen deeply ill, and as anyone who has
suffered a serious illness knows, you cannot
heal until you first acknowledge that youre
sick. We must stop denying the truth and
diagnose this disease, or it will only continue
to spread.
What Cardi B is selling is not self-empowerment. Its self-debasement. What young girls
across America learn from Cardi B is that they
can earn attention and adoration by stripping

NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
and Goldman Sachs are projecting rapid economic growth in 2021. As states open back up,
nearly 20% of the U.S. population has received
at least one vaccination shot.
This isnt to say that all is well. There is an
estimated $420 billion hole in the economy,
although, as even center-left critics of the bill
have noted, you dont need a $1.9 trillion bill to
fill it.
The latest bout of spending is spread around
willy-nilly on Democratic priorities and constituencies.
Take public education, where Democraticallied teacher unions dominate. Its not clear
why any additional spending is necessary,
given that tens of billions of education funding
from prior COVID relief bills are still unspent,
even as many districts have already begun to
reopen for in-person instruction.
Nonetheless, the bill spends roughly another $130 billion on K-12 education, which will
be spread out over years. The CBO projects
more spending for elementary and secondary
education will occur in fiscal year 2026 than
this fiscal year.
The $350 billion in aid to states and localities comes despite state and local tax revenue
being down only a tick through much of 2020
compared with the year before. According to
widely cited Moodys economist Mark Zandi,
the state and local funding gap will be roughly
$60 billion through fiscal 2022. Still, states and
localities will be showered with money, after
more than $500 billion in aid to states and
localities last year.
The bill spends $86 billion bailing out
union-negotiated multi-employer pension
plans.
Transportation gets tens of billions of
new spending, which by its nature doesnt
happen quickly, and more than $30 billion
goes to expanding Obamacare, a long-term
Democratic policy goal.
Its doubtful that the checks of $1,400 to
individuals are necessary; it is more supply
— i.e., businesses being closed or supply chains
disrupted — than demand that is hampering
the economy now.

Was there another Kirk

Does anyone know of a chicken ranch northwest of town?
Isnt it amazing how finding

Colony Christian Church – Facing Opposition
Howard Reiter gave our
Communion Meditation titled
Undeserved Blessings. We
often ask God, Why me?,
when bad things happen. But
we should then also ask God
Why me? when good things
happen. Why am I blessed
with food, shelter, friends, etc?
We must always maintain a
grateful attitude. With unwanted burdens come undeserved
blessings.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave the
sermon Facing Opposition
over Nehemiah 4. The Jews
enemies were angry when they
began rebuilding the walls of
Jerusalem. They used several different tactics against the
Jews: intimidation, threats,
create complainers from
within. They mocked them,
attacked their character, their
faith, and even their ability to
get the wall rebuilt. When people mock you, they arent well
grounded and tend to make up
silly things. The enemy uses
intimidation to keep us from
accomplishing great things.
Thru it all, Nehemiah prayed,
and maintained self discipline
with his attitude. If the enemy
continues to mock you, you
must be doing something right.
Then their enemy threatened
them physically, so the Jews
prayed to God and guarded the
city day and night. And God
protected them. They stayed
strong in their faith, and they
didnt run and hide. When
were faced with any enemy, we
dont want to isolate ourselves.
We need each other more
than ever during those times.
So dont ever give up when
the enemy is attacking you or
your family. Take it to God and
fight! You can hear this and all

A Spring like no other
Jackie Mundt, Pratt County
farmer and rancher
When I lived in the city,
spring was not my favorite season.
Summer is filled with warm
sunny days inspiring vacations
or breaks from reality that
provide much needed rest and
relaxation. Falls brisk days
and chilly nights are the perfect setting for football games,
spooky fun and feasting at
Thanksgiving. Winter has some
big headliners with the holiday
season up front and enough predictability in cold weather that
people either embrace it as a
wonderland or avoid it at all
costs.
But spring always felt like it
sneaks up on you with its beginning somewhere between the
appearance of a groundhog, leprechaun and the Easter Bunny.
It is often the muddy aftermath
of a fading winter wonderland.
It matches falls temperatures
but not its ambiance. Then
before you know it, summer is
creeping in to outshine it with
its unofficial launch party on
Memorial Day.
Since moving back to a farm,
my perspective has shifted, and
spring feels completely different in this more flattering light.
Spring sneaking up doesnt
seems so bad when you realize that practically overnight a
dull brown, lifeless field turns
into lush green, thriving wheat.
New baby calves and lambs
can be seen frolicking through
mud puddles and exploring the
world around them. Instead of
holding a welcome party for
summer, we hope for rain on
Memorial Day to water the
crops and maybe give us a little break between planting and
harvest.
3×5.5 Miami Co. Guide
It is a time of new life and
growth. Hidden flower bulbs
make it feel like the earth is
awakening with their colorful
appearance. Buds forming on
trees and bushes begin to flower in a beautiful promise of the
fruit they will bear. The air
comes alive with the sounds of
wildlife and insects returning
to their natural patterns.
The freshness of spring
brings an enthusiasm for hard
work. Gardeners who spent the
winter dreaming cannot wait to
dig in and begin new projects.
Farmers filled with belief work
long into the night planting the
seeds that will eventually make
harvest possible. Warmer days
instinctually make people want
to it throw open the windows
and clean away the staleness of
the past.
Staleness of the past has accumulated over this past year. We
have been stuck in our homes
with little escape during the
pandemic that monopolized our
minds, altered our lives and
sapped much of our energy.
The first day of spring this
year caught me by surprise like
always, but this years surprise
felt sweeter. It made it real that
it has been a year since we first
went into lockdown. A year of
social distancing, mask wearing and unthinkable loss for
our country. A year of rapid
development and deployment of
a vaccine that is helping to curb
our infection rates. The arrival
of spring feels like the fresh
start we have been desperately
waiting for.
Spring has brought with it
a lightness of spirit that makes
it feel OK to dream again. That
someday soon we will be able to
ditch the masks, hug our loved
ones and make real live plans.
Take advantage of this
uniquely momentous spring to
clear away the staleness of the
past, plant seeds of hope for the
future, and embrace a new life
and the growth all around you.

Bella and Vincent
By Sage Partida
5th Grade, St. Rose
Mrs. Rockers
Honorable Mention
Once upon a time, there was a
spider named Bella. She worked
for a lizard named Vincent. He
was so very kind to her that he
even gave her three times the
money if she worked two hours
extra. But one day she didnt show
up. So after he closed up he went
to go check if she was okay. But
when he went to her house she
wasnt there. Bellas mom Oakley
said that she went out. Bella will
be back tomorrow, said Oakley.
Okay. Im just glad she is okay.
Um…just tell her I said hi said
Vincent. So the next day Bella
showed up and Bella said Im
sorry about yesterday I just
couldnt come.
Couldnt come or wouldnt
come? said Vincent then they
laughed together. But one day
Bella came to work but Vincent
wasnt there! Bella was worried
what if he got kidnapped or worse
killed! So Bella went to look for
Vincent. A week later and he still
hadnt shown up and the police
gave up. So she went to look for
him again. She was going down a
dark alley when all the sudden a
guy came out and grabbed her but
when she looked to see who it was
and it was Vincent!
Sshh. Dont talk. whispered
Vincent. These guys kidnapped
me after I closed up the store and
they tried to rob me but I fought
with all I had then I ran for it
but they caught up with me then
took me to the old warehouse on
Walnut street. Then they said
they would let me go if I told them
where you live, but I didnt.
Thank you Vincent, said
Bella. Lets go, they said together. So they went to Bellas house
and told Oakley everything, after
Oakley said well lets go to the
police, unless.. and then they
beat the criminals and put them
in jail. After ten years Bella and
Vincent got married and had a
baby named Ashtyn. Then they
lived happily ever after.
The End.

Property Tax Liberation
The Senate and House
passed Senate Bill (SB) 13 and
sent it to the
Governors
desk. Each
year as you
pay
your
taxes,
SB
13 will stop
automatic property
tax increasTyson
es that are
solely due to
property valuation increases.
It will stop the shell game of
who raised your taxes; stop valuation increases as a result of
normal maintenance on your
property; allow county treasurers the option to setup payment
plans on property taxes; and
remove that property tax lid
that hasnt worked because of
too many exemptions. I started
working on this property tax
legislation after hearing from
many of you. It was a major
undertaking. I used methodologies from my management and
business experience with some
major help from friends across
the state. The results will help
reign in out-of-control property
tax increases and allow property owners to see why their
taxes increased. It must be
good legislation because many
legislators are taking credit for
it. Thats always a good sign.

Resourcefulness, creativity wins in advertising LOWRY…
Want to know how hard
it is to get your advertising
message across these days?
I remember some years ago
being a captive audience
for thousands of companies
advertising first one thing
then another for three hours,
and I can only remember two
things
Taylor Swift and Homeland
Security.
I drove to a conference a
few years ago and spent three
hours enroute listening to the
radio and driving down a couple of major interstates, and
thats honestly all that sticks
out to me over the course of
that drive. Actually, I dont
really even remember hearing
a Taylor Swift song, but I know
in fact that every radio station
in the country at that time
apparently was bound by FCC
regulations to play a Taylor
Swift song once every 17 minutes.
How many different advertising messages do you suppose I was exposed to on that
3-hour drive? Radio commercials, bumper stickers, logos
on the sides of semi trailers,
billboards Ill bet it had to be
in the thousands.
But the one that sticks out to
me was a Homeland Security
SUV that followed me for a
while and then passed me. Why
did it stick in my head? Because
Ive never seen one before, and
it was well interesting; it
was notable and unique.
Thats how your marketing
efforts have to be to rise above
the melee of modern commercial clutter unique and interesting. They also have to ring
with your targeted customer
the Homeland Security vehicle made an impression on me
because Im a news and political suspense geek I used to
watch 24 on TV anytime I
could catch it.
Roy H. Williams, writing
in the marketing section of
Entrepreneur Magazines website, urges business owners to
create an ad that will stick
with your customers long after
they see it. He talks about
the Hamp Baker says: Drive

and hung on barbed wire fences along the roads. No one
knew who Hamp Baker was,
but in no time his name was a
household word. He eventually
ran for state corporation commissioner and won 65 percent
of the vote.
Williams mentions another
cool option which Ive rarely
seen projecting your company logo or advertising message
at night from the window of
one building across the street
onto the side of another building (with the property own-
ers permission of course).
Nowadays you could even run
your company video through
your laptop projector and make
a silent movie out of it.
If you dont have a lot of
money to spend or even if you
do you have to get resourceful
and creative to make yourself
and your company memorable.
That, of course, will help you
sell stuff.

Freeze Property Tax For
Some Seniors
The Senate Tax Committee
heard a bill last week that
would freeze property tax on
low-income seniors and disabled veterans. Currently, the
bill would freeze it for anyone
over 65 years of age, making
less than $50,000 a year, and
lives in a house valued less
than $350,000 a year. Kansas
is taxing people out of their
homes and out of the state. We
have to find ways to stop the
madness.
Unemployment
There are only a couple of
weeks left of the regular 2021
session but there is much work
to be completed. A major piece
of legislation is dealing with
the broken unemployment system. The Senate Commerce
Committee will have hearings
on this legislation all next
week. It is an attempt to make
the Governor fix the system
and to shore up the unemployment funds that have been
depleted because the Governor
shut down businesses and paid
hundreds of millions of dollars
in fraudulent unemployment
claims.

Assuming the bill doesnt
cause some disastrous unintended consequence, it will
allow Biden to take credit for
a roaring economic recovery
that is already building.
This might be shrewd politics, but it is not evidence-based

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 23, 2021
Vaccine roll out slowly
increases travel optimism
One year after the COVID19 pandemic upended plans
for travelers in Kansas and
throughout the world, there
are new signs that travel
dreams wont be deferred. The
weekly survey, Coronavirus
Travel Sentiment Index, conducted by Destination Analysts
and released March 8, 2021,
found that the majority of
respondents say they are ready
to travel. This survey, which
tracks how Americans feel
about the pandemic and the
safety of traveling both currently and in the future, coincides with the steadily increasing requests for trip information being made to AAA travel
agents.
As the vaccine continues
to roll out across the country,
travel dreams are beginning
to optimistically seem more
realistic. Well over half, 60%
of Americans say they will be
traveling for leisure in the next
three months, according to a
survey done less than a week
ago, said Shawn Steward,
AAA Kansas spokesman.
Even more encouraging, an
impressive 84% of those surveyed have at least tentative
plans to travel in 2021. The
travel industry continues
to see a parallel between the
vaccine roll out and increased
optimism among the traveling
public, and a greater comfort
level from travelers seeking to
book for the summer or fall of
this year, said AAA Kansas
Steward.
How comfortable are people traveling and when? What
about Spring Break?
When it comes to Spring
Break 2021, people seem to be
holding off on travel and will
be staying home, with just 14%
of Americans planning to travel for Spring Break, according
to the survey.
But beyond Spring Break,
there is renewed optimism and
a notable change in how safe
people feel about travel activities. Last March/April, when
the pandemic hit, only 30% of
people surveyed felt safe traveling, now 40% feel it is safe
to do so. This comfort level is
likely to continue to increase
as more people are vaccinated.
The Destination Analysts
survey from two weeks ago
(February 28th) also revealed
how travelers feel about when
traveling will feel more normal and their confidence has
continued to increase as the
months pass. A total of 36%
believe travel activities will
return to normal in the JuneAugust time frame, while an
even greater percentage, 42%,
see fall as the travel sweet spot.
In summary, more than three
quarters of those in the survey
believe that by this fall travel
will feel more like what they
are accustomed to.
Clearly this summer and
fall will see more people traveling, addressing their need to get
away for a break from everyday stressors. AAA expects
pent up demand and higher
comfort levels among travelers
to result in a surge of booking in the coming months,
Steward added. Traveling
dates will vary, according to
destination and confidence,
with some bookings for this
summer and fall and trips for
2022 and beyond.
What is impacting the decision to travel?
Continually
increasing
numbers of administered vaccinations
Increased level of comfort/
safety by travelers
Pent up demand, the need
for a break from COVID and
other stressors
Travel deals: 45% say that
travel discounts make them
more likely to travel in next
three months (Destination
Analysts)
While the decision to travel
is a personal one, those who
are comfortable traveling will
find some great deals as vacation destinations seek to lure
travelers back, AAA Kansas
Steward added.
Where are people going?
AAA Travel agents report
that
Top
Destinations:
Caribbean, Mexico, Florida as
traveler seek fun and sun
USA
destinations:
Rediscovering AMERICA continues to be a theme as it was
last summer
Great American Road Trip:
The resurgence of road trips,
where travelers can control
their personal space and enjoy
the adventures of the US is
expected this year.
National Parks: Expected to
be popular as they allow for
family fun and social distancing
These trends are echoed
locally, according to Wichitabased AAA Travel agent Matt
Bert.
We have had a number
requests for Caribbean and
Mexico since many of those
countries are open, Bert said.
Weve seen more interest in
Key West and Destin, along
with Hawaii, more this year
than before. Ive personally booked 10 trips in the past
month or so that all depart at
the end of May. Weve already
booked a few fall trips and
even some for Spring Break
2022 this one specifically a
guided 1-week tour of Costa
Rica, geared for a family with
children.
AAAs Bert also pointed out
that even though some cruise
lines have canceled Alaska sailings for this summer, Alaska
is still open, and you can still
travel to Anchorage and take a
train to Denali and Fairbanks.
There are still plenty of guided
tours for people to experience
Alaska, and they might actually see more on a land tour than
on a cruise ship. We can also
help arrange a completely private or custom tour of Alaska
as well.
AAA Kansas Travel staff
have also been busy helping
travelers map out road trips
and book hotel stays in a variety of U.S. locations including
California, Colorado, Florida,
Texas and Washingon, among
other destinations, Bert added.
What do travelers need to
know as they confirm travel
plans for 2021 and beyond?
The CDC continues to urge
Americans to delay traveling,
warning that doing so increases your chance of getting and
spreading COVID-19.
Knowledge is more critical
than ever when deciding when
and where to travel. On March
1st , for example, the CDC
added Curacao, Antigua and
Barbudato Level 4: COVID-19
VERY HIGH status, warning
that travelers should avoid all
travel to these destinations.
The Bahamas are also still on
a Level 3 HIGH designation
where travelers are advised to
avoid all nonessential travel.
For those who choose to travel, current CDC guidelines
and requirements include the
following:
Travel Restrictions State
and local governments may
have travel restrictions in
place. Check the CDCs travel planner linking to state
and local health departments
or refer to AAAs COVID-19
Travel Restrictions Map and
TripTik.AAA.com for the latest travel restrictions and to
help determine which rest
stops, gas stations, restaurants
and hotels are open along your
route if driving to your destination. Prepare to be flexible, as
restrictions and policies may
change during your trip.
COVID-19 Vaccines If you
are eligible, consider getting
vaccinated for COVID-19. The
CDC says to wait two weeks
after getting your second dose
to travel for your body to build
protection after vaccination.
Even if youve been vaccinated, continue to follow all official travel requirements and
guidelines.
Testing The CDC recommends taking a viral COVID-19
test 1 to 3 days before your
trip. Do not travel if you test
positive. Keep a copy of your
negative test results with you
during your trip and make
plans to get tested again with
a viral test 3 to 5 days after you
return. Self-quarantine for a
full seven days after trip, even
if your test is negative. If you
dont get tested, the CDC advises staying home and self-quarantining for 10 days.
AAA urges travelers to:
Be informed: Use a travel agent free expert advice,
especially while navigating the
important and complex information during COVID such as
what destinations and attractions are open both domestically and internationally, destination-specific testing and
quarantine requirements, and
what to do if you need to make
last-minute changes to a trip.
Plan ahead: Look ahead as
much as practically possible,
as some destinations will have
limited capacity thus demand
could outpace supply.
Make reservations and purchase tickets in advance: This
prevents waiting in line, could

LOSSES…
FOR RENT
FROM PAGE 1
140,000 jobs were lost in just one
month, and by back to school
time in August, employment
was at 1,105,100 about 60,000
fewer than the year before. Job
growth was flat over the next
four months, with Kansas only
adding 4,000 jobs.
Only two states Idaho and
Utah had more private-sector jobs in December compared
to a year ago. The other 48
states lost jobs, but the states
not locked down by their governors fared far better than the
rest.
The states not locked down
Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska,
North Dakota, South Dakota,
Utah, and Wyoming collectively lost 2.9% of their private
jobs, but the states locked down
by their governors lost 7.1% of
their private employment.
Kansas did slightly better
than average, ranking 20th in
the nation with a private job
loss of 4.3%. But nearby states
Arkansas and Nebraska did
far better, ranking fifth and
seventh respectively. Arkansas
saw private job losses of 2.2%
and Nebraska was down 3%;
South Dakota was down just
2.2% and Utah, with a similar
population to Kansas, had a
small job gain of 0.3%
Had Kansas done as well as
Nebraska, there would have
been about 22,000 more people
working in December.
The Sentinel, a news service owned by the Kansas Policy
Institute, contributed to this
story.
MILITARY…
FROM PAGE 4A
plined military is a frightening
thing to everyone.
The punch line of course
is that existing military regulations already limit service
terms and expectations of its
pregnant members for obvious
reasons. Those pregnant at
least 20 weeks are exempt from
field duty and weight standards. Duty is restricted: they
cant paint, weld, run grinding
machines or wear body armor
after 14 weeks. There are many

is confirmed, can prevent longer waits due to limited capacity. Examples: hotels, theme
parks, national parks, etc.
Use discounts available to

member discounts or others
that may be available
Know your change/cancellation regulations, and travel
insurance options.
What Can Travelers Expect?
AAA Travel experts advise
would-be travelers that things
will look very different than
the last time many took a vacation.
The entire travel experience has been transformed by
COVID-19. If youre considering travel this year, its more
important than ever to do your
homework and be knowledgeable ahead of any trip to ensure
both safety and pleasure, said
Steward of AAA Kansas. As
vaccines help boost consumer confidence to travel again,
its still important to protect
yourself and others and its
required in many areas to wear
masks and socially distance.
Masks Face coverings
are required on planes, buses,
trains and other forms of public transportation traveling
into, within or out of the United
States, and in U.S. transportation hubs such as airports
and stations. Outside of these
transportation requirements,
statesand some establishmentshave mandates and/
or restrictions on where and
when masks must be worn.
Auto Road trips to domestic destinations continue to be
the preferred way for many
to travel, but even these trips
require additional planning
and preparation. Those who
make the decision to travel by
car can refer to AAAs COVID19 Travel Restrictions Map and
TripTik.AAA.com for the latest
state and local travel restrictions, and to identify which
rest stops, gas stations, restaurants and hotels are open along
their route.

has introduced Hertz Gold
Standard Clean, an enhanced
vehicle disinfectant and sanitization process. For extra peace
of mind, use disinfecting wipes
to wipe down door handles,
steering wheels, shifters and

Hotels Prior to any hotel
stay, call ahead to ensure your
hotel is open and ask what
precautions they are taking
to protect guests. Ask about
social distancing protocols like
capacity reductions, hotel staff
requirements to wear masks at
all times and if all amenities
are available, like restaurant
dining.
Air AAA cautions air
travelers that in-flight amenities, including food and beverage services, may be limited
or unavailable. Some airlines
continue to limit flight capacities or block middle seats to
allow for social distancing. Due
to COVID-19, TSA is allowing
one oversized liquid hand sanitizer container, up to 12 ounces per passenger, in carry-on
bags, rather than limiting
those to 3.4 ounces. Masks are
also required at airports and
on planes.
International Air Travel
All air passengers coming
to the United States, including U.S. citizens, are required
to have a negative COVID-19
test result or documentation
of recovery from COVID19
before they board a flight to
the United States. Travelers
who dont provide this to their
airline will be denied boarding. There are no test requirements for domestic travel at
this time, except Hawaii which
has a testing requirement from
the mainland and between the
islands.
Cruise Even with the
CDCs no-sail order lifted,
many cruise lines have voluntarily extended their suspension of sailing operations further into 2021. Anyone considering a future cruise vacation
should consult with a Travel
Professional to understand
new safety protocols and cruising post Covid-19.

ECKAAA nutrition program joins
nationwide March for Meals celebration
East Central Kansas Area
Agency on Aging Nutrition
Program has announced it is
participating in the 19th annual March for Meals a monthlong, nationwide celebration
of Meal on Wheels and senior
neighbors who rely on this
essential service. ECKAAA
Nutrition Programs celebration will include various activities throughout the month of
March.
ECKAAA Nutrition program serves six counties in
Kansas including Anderson,
Coffey, Franklin, Linn, Miami,
and Osage. In those counties
there are 24 nutrition sites.
The program delivers meals to
these sites three to five days a
week; the number of meals that
goes out daily is about 700, not
including frozen meals delivered for weekends. The program serves the most vulnerable population in this area,
who depend on the meals to
remain healthy and independent at home, now even more
so amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The annual March for Meals
celebration commemorates the
historic day in March of 1972
when President Nixon signed
into law a measure that amended the Older Americans Act
of 1965 to include a national
nutrition program for seniors
60 years and older. Since 2002,
community-based Meals on
Wheels programs from across
the country have joined forces
for the annual awareness campaign to celebrate this successful public-private partnership
and garner the support needed to fill the gap between the
seniors served and those still
in need.
The pandemic has introduced many of us to the newfound and harsh realities of
food insecurity and social isolation something that far too
many seniors experience as
their daily norm, said Ellie
Hollander, president and CEO
of Meals on Wheels America.
More than ever, we must rally
around our essential community-based programs that serve
as lifelines to a growing number of people in need, to enable
their own long-term vitality.
Even when we make it through
this unprecedented time in our
nations history, there will still
be millions of vulnerable older
adults who will rely on that
familiar knock on the door that
provides peace of mind and
hope beyond the meal itself.
Please join us in celebrating
the power and importance of
Meals on Wheels this March
and always.
For more information on
how to volunteer, contribute
or speak out for the seniors in
your community this March,
visit ECKAAA at www.eckaaa.org to find local senior
nutrition sites, or learn more
about supporting the Meals on
Wheels program through volunteering or monetary donations.

Special to The Anderson County Review – March 23, 2021
Ag Economist discusses pandemic changes to beef cattle industry
MANHATTAN, Kan. A top
analyst said recently that the
COVID-19 pandemic has caused
several changes in the beef industry, many of which could be here
to stay.
Jayson Lusk, Distinguished
Professor and head of the Department of Agricultural Economics at
Purdue University, was a featured
speaker during the 108th annual
K-State Cattlemens Day. His talk
focused on the impacts of the pandemic on the beef cattle sector.
Among the highlights of his
talk:
Online purchases of
meat
We see a lot more purchasing of food through online
channels; I think well continue
to see that, even for meat. We just
recently did a survey (in February) of consumers, and 25% said
theyve bought meat online in the
last month. That will continue to be
a trend as we move forward.
In the future, grocery
stores may start to look a little dif-
ferent. In some cases as more food
is being bought online, some of
these retailers may find it profitable
to create these micro-fulfillment
centers, or what theyre calling
dark grocery stores. Essentially
all theyre doing is filling online
orders that are now taking place
inside the grocery store.
Automation in the industry
I think well probably see
a push toward automation, particularly in the packing sector. Labor
has been an issue for a long time,
and I think were just in a different
dimension of labor challenges for
that industry. I think were likely
to see investments in automation in
that sector, and maybe even in the
food retail sector.
Impacts to restaurants
Who knows exactly how
the food service sector is going to
come out of this, whats going to
happen to restaurants. Some fast
food chains have been just fine;
sales through drive thru have remained fairly strong. But it will be

interesting to see how it plays out
for the more traditional, sit-down
restaurant sector. People have spent
more time cooking at home and it
may be something they stick with
more than they have in the past.
Consumer interest in
locally sourced products
Partly because of some
of the shutdowns we saw in meatpacking, theres been a rising
interest in sourcing meat from local
segments, maybe direct delivery from small or medium sized
packers. Thats an opportunity that
will grow and there will be some
niche opportunities there. This will
probably remain a small piece of
the overall story, but still an opportunity that does exist for certain
entrepreneurs.
Effect of higher grain
prices
One thing were seeing
happening on the grain side is
prices are being pulled up. I dont
know how much that is due to the
infusion of cash from the government as opposed to other things,

TrustPoint
such as bad weather this summer in
the Midwest and increased imports
by China. But that will affect the
cattle cycle because weve got feed
prices that have increased significantly the past several months.
That will affect decisions of whether folks decide to hang on to some
inventory or let them go if its going to cost too much to keep them
around.
Cattle ID and other tracking efforts
The cattle producers
I know are a very independent
bunch. Nobody wants the government tracking who they are and
where they are. I completely get
that. At the same time, youve got
a system where consumers want to
know more about where their food
came from If you want to capture the value that is being created
there, you may have to give up
some of that autonomy and transparency. Maybe some people dont
want to do it, but for those that will
and are, I think there is a market
opportunity.

Ten rules for planting trees this spring
MANHATTAN, Kan. If youre
planning to plant a tree in your
yard this spring, there are some
steps you can take to make sure
your new landscape has its best
chance of success.
Kansas State University
horticulture expert Ward Upham
shares the following ten rules for
planting trees:
Select the right tree for the
site. To avoid serious problems,
choose trees that are adapted to
your location. Consider whether
the tree produces nuisance fruit or
if there are disease-resistant varieties available. For example, there
are a number of crabapple varieties
that are resistant to apple scab and
rust diseases. Also consider the
mature size of a tree to be sure you
have enough room. Ask a local
nurseryman for suggestions for
trees adapted to your area.
Keep the tree well watered
and in a shady location until planting. When moving the tree, lift it
by the root ball or pot and not by
the trunk.
Before planting, remove
all wires, labels, cords or anything
else tied to the plant. If left on, they
may eventually girdle the branch
to which they are attached. The
root flare (point where trunk and
roots meet) should be visible. If it
isn't, remove enough soil or media
before planting so that it is.
Dig a proper hole. Make the
hole deep enough so that the tree
sits slightly above nursery level.
Plant the tree on solid ground, not
fill dirt. In other words, don't dig
the hole too deep and then add soil
back to the hole before placing the
tree.
The width of the planting
hole is very important. It should
be three times the width of the root
ball. Loosening the soil outside the
hole so it is five times the diameter
of the root ball will allow the tree
to spread its roots faster.
Remove all containers from
the root ball. Cut away plastic and
peat pots; roll burlap and wire
baskets back into the hole, cutting
as much of the excess away as
possible. If you can remove the
wire basket without disturbing the
root ball, do it. If roots have been
circling around in the container, cut
them and fluff them out so they do
not continue growing so that they
circle inside the hole and become
girdling roots later in the life of the
tree.
Backfill the hole with
the same soil that was removed.
Amendments such as peat moss
likely do more harm than good.
Make sure the soil that goes back is
loosened – no clods or clumps. Add
water as you fill to ensure good
root to soil contact and prevent air
pockets. There is no need to fertil-

ize at planting.
Don't cut
back the branches of a tree after
planting except
those that are rubbing or damaged.
The leaf buds
release a hormone
that encourages
root growth. If the
tree is cut back, the
reduced number of
leaf buds results
in less hormone
released and therefore fewer roots
being formed.
Water the tree thoroughly
and then once a week for the first
season if there is insufficient rainfall.
Mulch around the tree.
Mulch should be 2 to 4 inches deep
and cover an area 2 to 3 times the
diameter of the root ball. Mulching
reduces competition from other
plants, conserves moisture and
keeps soil temperature closer to
what the plants' roots prefer.
Stake only when necessary.
Trees will establish more quickly and grow faster if they are not
staked. However, larger trees or
those in windy locations may need
to be staked the first year. Movement is necessary for the trunk to
become strong. Staking should be
designed to limit movement of the
root ball rather than immobilize the
trunk.

Study: Consumers favor ground beef over plant-based alternatives
MANHATTAN, Kan. Consumers
overwhelmingly chose ground beef
over plant-based beef alternatives
in a multifaceted study now being
reported by Kansas State University researchers.
Ground beef offered with
10%, 20% and 30% fat — was
strongly preferred for taste and
flavor over plant-based alternatives, and less than one-third of the
respondents said they would buy
the plant-based alternatives in the
store or retail settings, according
to K-State meat scientist Travis
OQuinn.
The results are pretty
stark, OQuinn said. Our three
ground beef products were highly
desired by consumers. We didnt
witness many differences among
the three fat levels we offered, but
when we compared those to the
ground beef alternatives, every one
of the alternatives had a tendency
to fall out (of favorability with
consumers).
Consumers rated the plantbased alternatives as extremely
dry, according to OQuinn, and
rated those products very low for
flavor. In one test, only 18% of the
consumers said they would be willing to buy the plant-based ground
beef alternative.
OQuinn said the researchers tested ground beef alternatives
designed for retail and food service
use, and another consisting of a
traditional soy protein base.
The market for plant-based
alternatives to all forms of beef has
grown in grocery stores and some
restaurants over the past six years.
4×7.5 Baumans
OQuinn noted, however, that not
many of these products are tested
or evaluated on how they really do
stack up to ground beef.
There is a need to assess
these products and determine
whether the claims that they can
substitute for beef or pork or sausage are (legitimate), OQuinn
said. We need to make sure that
we fact check those claims to get a
good idea of what the science says
as it relates to how these products
compare to the products they are
trying to substitute for.
The K-State study seems to
indicate that they are not comparable, but rather separate food items.
These ground beef alternatives are very different than ground
beef, OQuinn said. Theres
nothing we can measure that puts it
on the same level playing field with
ground beef.not how theyre
cooked, looked or taste.
Some additional findings
reported in the study include:
Plant-based ground beef
alternatives are more tender than
regular ground beef. However,
with ground products, thats not
necessary a good thing. The tenderness made the products more
soft and less likely to hold together. Ground beefs ability to stick
together provides a texture that was
more preferred by consumers.
While ground beef patties
tend to shrink when cooked, the
plant-based alternatives stayed the
same size and in some cases even
got somewhat bigger.

Studies indicate patch burning of tallgrass prairie is a valuable option
MANHATTAN, Kan. To the
uninitiated, its an awesome and
sometimes scary sight, coming
over a hill to encounter a burning
prairie as far as the eye can see.
But planned burning also called
prescribed burning of the tallgrass prairie is a proven effective
and widely used way to control
invasive plant species. The practice
also improves forage quality and
cattle weight gains once the grass
comes back after burning.
Yearly spring burning
on High Plains prairies has been
common for years, but smoke that
sometimes drifts into cities when
planned burning occurs in a short
time frame during spring can be a
health hazard and creates a problem for manufacturing companies
if air quality falls below acceptable
Environmental Protection Agency
levels.
Recent Kansas State University studies have focused not
only on how varying the time of
burning affects forage quality
and cattle health, but also on how
a practice called patch burning
compares with traditional spring
burning.
Patch burning studies in
Kansas, Oklahoma and Tennessee are summarized in the report,
Alternative Burning Strategies.
The studies indicate patch burning
helps diversify range ecosystems,
does not negatively affect cattle
performance and may increase cattle gains compared to pastures that
are not burned.
In patch burning, a landowner burns portions of a pasture
in a yearly rotation, rather
than the whole pasture,
said Jaymelynn Farney,
K-State Research and
Extension beef cattle specialist in southeast Kansas.
A common patch-burning
regimen is to burn onethird of the pasture each
year in a rotation.
Researchers theorize that patch burning
mimics historical patterns
of burning and grazing,
Farney said, similar to a
time when fires were ignited by lightning and bison
and other species preferred
to graze burned areas over
grassland that hadnt been
burned.
The studies show
that cow-calf pairs grazing

Research hints at role for spring wheat in Kansas
COLBY, Kan. Ongoing research
trials on growing spring wheat in
Kansas continue to indicate that
producers can expect reduced
yields compared to the more popularly grown hard red winter varieties in the state.
But Lucas Haag, a crop
production specialist at the Northwest Research-Extension Center
in Colby, said that spring wheat
might fit as a niche in crop rotations and markets. Spring wheat,
he added, may provide producers
an opportunity to grow a crop that
is high in protein content and a
favored product for bakers flour.
Really whats driving
(interest in spring wheat) is producers are looking for another
alternative to fallow, Haag said,
referring to farmland that is left
unsown for a period of time. Over
the past couple years we have seen
a lot of acres where producers
have attempted to go in and seed
winter wheat back into fresh corn
stalks or freshly harvested sorghum stalks, with varying levels of
success.
Winter wheat indicates
those varieties planted in the autumn or winter for harvest the following summer. Spring wheat, on
the other hand, is usually planted
in the spring and harvest approximately a week to 10 days after the
winter wheat harvest.
Haag said planting winter
wheat into fresh row crop stalks
has mixed success because the
ground is usually dry and planting
dates are later than optimal. When
winter wheat is planted into fresh
stalks, yields are typically lower,
he added.
There has been interest
into whether we can accomplish
the same thing but do it with
spring wheat, Haag said. The
thought is that we could frost-seed
that wheat in December, January

or February if the ground allows
it or even on-time seeding in
February or March.
Researchers at the Colby
agricultural experiment field have
been testing the possibility of
growing spring wheat in Kansas
for more than 100 years. Haag
said there is data from trials held
between 1915-1950; additional
studies were done in the 1970s and
again the early 2000s.
All of those studies show
a similar trend: Spring wheat
grown on fallow makes just a tick
under half of what winter wheat
grown on fallow would make in
the same year.
For yield potential, Kansas
spring wheat has not been favored
compared to areas such as North
Dakota, which annually challenges
Kansas as the top wheat producer in the United States. Spring
wheat is limited in Kansas because
annual temperatures are typically
higher March through May, an
important time for flowering and
grain fill.
Spring wheat trials at
Colby in 2019 yielded as much as
50 pounds per bushel when grown
on fallow, but yields dropped to
20 pounds per bushel in 2020 due
to severe heat, and the rotation
effect from planting the wheat into
fresh corn stalks, according to
Haag.
The 2020 trials, however,
also yielded wheat with protein
content at 16-18%, which is quite
high, and higher than it would
need to be for the quality standards of wheat, Haag said. Those
fields, however, were over-fertilized (based on that years yield
potential), according to Haag, so
there is still work to do to balance
inputs.
Even so, Haag said high
protein spring wheat creates an
opportunity for farmers who can
effectively plan to capitalize on the
market.
Typically, our Kansas
flour mills import some spring
wheat from the northern plains
to improve the quality profile of
the flour theyre making out of
predominantly hard red winter
wheat, Haag said. If we could
raise quality spring wheat here, we
have an obvious freight advantage
over the wheat theyre bringing in
from the Plains.
Haag said local elevators
have expressed an interest in storing spring wheat in Kansas. And
some producers are improving
their on-farm storage capabilities
for spring wheat.
Its important that producers have some marketing options,
or plans lined up ahead of time,
Haag said.

Kansas grain sorghum hybrid test results for 2020 now available online
MANHATTAN, Kan. For years,
Kansas has outpaced all other
states as the top producer of grain
sorghum, and growers have a resource to help keep it that way.
Kansas State Universitys
2020 Kansas Performance Tests
with Grain Sorghum Hybrids publication is now available online and
features summaries of last years
growing conditions, disease and
insect considerations, and performance by hybrids in major production areas of the state. Growers can
also compare hybrid yields with
the previous two years and see the
three-year average for each.
Other agronomic data
provided include test weight, days
of bloom time and percent of crop
lodged. Lodging occurs when the
plant falls over because of wet
soils, high winds, or weakness due
to stalk rots. Each table also provides details of the management
of the testing location, including
planting and harvest dates, fertilizer rates, tillage practices and the
2020 precipitation patterns as they
compared to the long-term average.
The main story about the
2020 grain sorghum crop was that
it was not noteworthy, said Jane
Lingenfelser, coordinator of the
Kansas Crop Performance Test
program at K-State. Growing
conditions were extremely good
and relatively free of diseases and
pests. The quality of harvested
grain was excellent.
It was just a really good
year to produce grain sorghum in
Kansas, she said.
Lingenfelser, who coordinates crop variety tests on
numerous crops across the state,
said last year was the first year
the university had tested igrowth
sorghum hybrids from Advanta,
noting that they are safe to spray
with imidazoline (IMI) herbicides
for post-emergent grass control.

Kansas 4-H horse project to launch video series
MANHATTAN, Kan. Youth
enrolled in the Kansas 4-H horse
project will receive a big boost
later this month with the release of
a video series that promotes their
career interests.
Anissa Jepsen, a 4-H youth
development specialist at the state
office in Manhattan, said the fivepart series is a combined effort between Kansas State University and
Texas A&M, both of which provided equine experts to talk about the
path to a successful career.
The videos, called the
Equine Production Educational Series, were produced at the K-State
horse unit on the north side of the
Manhattan campus.
We have so many equine
project members that are interested
in pursuing a career or building
their own breeding program, so we
wanted to develop a series that is
focused on that, from embryo to
equine, Jepsen said.
The youth that watch these
videos will be ones who are interested in learning more about what
veterinarians and breeding managers look at when they are starting
their breeding program, selecting
stallions and mares, and the technical aspects of this project area.
Jepsen noted the series is
for those with advanced knowledge
in the project. It includes a fivepart stallion series covering reproduction and the breeding process;
and a multi-part mare series that
covers foaling.
Information on accessing
the videos will be available later in
March on the Kansas 4-H website.
Jepsen said youth and parents soon will be asked to complete
a survey form to help organizers
determine the usefulness of the
videos.
We want parents to be
aware that this is an advanced
series and participate with their
youth, she said. Also, we need to
