GARNETT – Asbestos removal

GARNETT – Anderson County
Fire Chief Mick Brinkmeyer
admits hes somewhat of a
pessimist. He tends to think,
Whats the worst possible
thing that could happen?
For his job, thats not necessarily a bad thing.
Last week, as wildfires
blazed out of control across
much of southcentral Kansas
and northern Oklahoma,
Brinkmeyer wondered, What
if that happened here?
While driving winds pushed
some livestock lost, although
no one has been injured. The
fire, called the worst wildfire
in Kansas history, was about
80 percent contained as of
Monday morning. Gov. Sam
Brownback declared a State of
Disaster Emergency, and costs
of fighting the fire so far were
estimated at more that $1 million.
And with dry conditions
that have led to an increased
number of grass calls so far
this year, the threat of an outof-control wildfire here is a real
concern, Brinkmeyer said. He
estimated county fire crews
have been called to about 40
grass fires between February
and March, which he said
seems considerably higher

Emergency
Management
Director JD Mersman was
called to Bourbon County to
help with emergency management planning as crews fought
a fire there and attempted to
keep houses and other property
safe. His experience also will
help Anderson County be better prepared if such a situation
befalls the local region.
About 400,000 acres have
burned in Kansas after a fire
in Oklahoma swept across the
state line last week. At least
six homes were destroyed and
high-end car exhibit in the fall.
The poor condition of the
asphalt on the road around
Lake Garnett has been a concern for organizers of the Lake
Garnett Grand Prix Revival,
which brings more than a hundred new and classic sports
cars to the lake each fall for a
revival event. The event pays
homage to the classic sports car
races that brought thousands

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Even though only
3 percent of Garnett residents
shared their opinion on re-establishing Garnett as a PRIDE
Community in a recent survey,
city leaders hope to take the
next steps in that direction.
PRIDE works with local
governments and volunteers
to make a community a better
place to live through partnerships with K-State Research
and Extension and the Kansas
Department of Commerce.
Various grants and other financial programs help communities establish their own unique
programs. Kansas PRIDE has
been in existence for more than
40 years.

Arnold told city commissioners
much of the legal wrangling
after a previous owners bankruptcy had been completed,
and he expected the building
would be demolished soon and
the site prepared for industrial development. But environmental issues like the recent
discovery of asbestos at the site
have delayed those plans.
Despite the assumption of
many area residents, the building is not owned by the city
and demolition is not the citys
responsibility, Arnold reminded the commission.
The site formerly housed the
citys oldest manufacturer. The

company opened 1879 and
mostly was a family business
until owner Don MacAfee
retired in 1993. New owners
moved the business to a stateof-the-art $1.3 million factory in
the Golden Prairie Industrial
Park in the early 2000s, with
the county and City of Garnett
financing much of the structure. But a series of new owners couldnt save the business
and it closed in 2007. The new
building was later purchased
by East Kansas Agri Energy.
GCFs original home now is
owned by a private development company, which took it
over after a former construction company housed at the
structure, TL Enterprises, filed
for bankruptcy. The Southeast
Kansas Prosperity Foundation
and the NetWork Kansas
E-Community group in Garnett
joined forces to buy the property, clean it up and develop it
for use as a light industrial or
manufacturing business site.
Because of the banrkuptcy,
it took a significant period of
time to transfer ownership to
the group.
Once those legal ownership issues were resolved, the
company expected demolition
to move quickly. Those plans,
however, were put on hold
when asbestos was discovered
in the collapsed roof material.
Asbestos abatement typically
is an extensive, expensive process.
The buildings owners only
last week received results from
some of the environmental
testing, including the asbestos
status, Arnold said. Now that

they know what theyre dealing
with, theyll be able to move
forward with the demolition
process more quickly, he said.
Arnold and Garnett City
Manager Joyce Martin countered critics, saying even
though the process has taken
a long time, its better that the
project is handled by a private
company. Without the eco-devo
groups involvement, taxpayers would have borne the costs
of condeming, demolishing and
cleaning the site.
I want the public to know
were doing all this behind the
scenes, Arnold said. I dont
think the city wants to take
this over. I think they want a
private group to do it.
The project has faced several
unexpected stumbling blocks
caused by the sites age and condition, Arnold said. For example, at one time it was thought
an old petroleum storage tank
was buried underground somewhere on the property, but no
one seemed to know where or
if it was still there. Eventually,
someone located the tank and
determined it had been properly demolished.
The private eco-devo groups
likely would seek bids to demolish whats left of the furniture
factory and clean up the site
before they can market it as
a possible industrial development area.
Arnold said the site is ideal
for industrial development
because it already has sufficient utilities. Typically, the
biggest obstacle in establishing
an industrial area is building
the infrastructure that can support such use, such as electricity, sewer lines and water
lines big enough for industrial
sprinklers.
The cost of ground is nothing, he said. Thats why we
liked that site out there. Its
already zoned that way and
has been for 120 years, and its
cheaper than having to bring
utilities all the way to another
site.
The site also includes a 7,000
square foot building with docks
that currently are mostly hidden by the rubble. Once the
area is cleaned up, that building could be usable. Arnold
estimated it would cost about
$200,000 to construct a building
of similar size and amenities.

FEBRUARY 23, 1929-MARCH 25, 2016
Morris Philip Luedke, 87, of
Colony, Kansas, passed away
on March 25 at Windsor Place,
Iola.
Morris was born Feb. 23,
1929,
near
Amsterdam,
Missouri,
the 8th child
of 10 born
to
Charles
and Estella
Luedke. The
family moved
to the Colony
Luedke
area in 1938.
He graduated
from Colony High School in
1948, from Iola Junior College
and then received a BS in
Education at Pittsburg State
College. He taught 8th grade
at Welda for three years,
before taking some courses
at the University of Kansas at
Lawrence and working as a
clerk at Sinclair Oil Company
in Kansas City, Mo.
He met Mary Allene
Van Trump at the Linwood
Methodist Church Criterion
Sunday School Class. On April
3, 1957 they were married at
Linwood Methodist and moved
to Colony in mid-June, 1957.
To this union they were blessed with two children, Mark
and Cheryl. His passion had
always been to farm, but due to
an illness during his late high
school years, doctors told him
he would never be able to farm.
He took it as a challenge, married his Missouri farm girl and
with the help of his Dad began
his farming career. His wife
and later his son were at his
side in the field almost daily
during harvest, as well as his
daughter until her college days.
The family was church going
people; he served as trustee
around 20 years. The Lord,
farming, and his family were
priorities in his life. He was
a loving father and husband,
hard worker, and always honest in his dealings with those
that worked for him and with
whom he associated in his business operation. He was a helper when someone was stuck,
had a breakdown, etc. He grew
up in meager circumstances
(through the dirty 30s and the
depression) and was very careful with purchases and farm
expenses. He was a smart man,
and he could always quote what
he paid for farm items, a very
careful shopper. He took pride
in how his fields were left following harvest, and in feeding
and care of his cattle. He was a
farmer of faith and fatalism. It
was his faith that drove him to
continually meet the challenges of his capacities amid an
ever-present possibility that an
act of God can bring a business
to a standstill and reduce his
acreage, but his ambition was
never to be restrained.
Morris was preceded in
death by his parents, one sister, Clara and husband, Floyd;
five brothers, Leslie and wife
Waunita, Robert and wife
Ruth, Keith, Wayne, Kenneth
and wife Helen; sister-in-law,
Bonna Lea Luedke and brother-in-law, Jack Finley; and two
nephews, Gary Luedke and
Kevin Finley.
He is survived by his wife,
Allene, of the home; a son, Mark
of Colony; daughter, Cheryl of
St. Augustine, Florida; twin
sister, Doris Finley of Atwood,
Kansas; two brothers Norman
of Atwood, Kansas and Stanley
of Colony; brother in-law Joe
Van Trump and wife Judy,
Wilmington, Delaware and
numerous nieces and nephews.

Were not the greatest
country in the world?
Theres a video clip from the 2012 premiere of
the HBO series Newsroom that makes the rounds
on Facebook every now and then, circulated and
regurgitated by the guilt-fevered Americas the
problem crowd, in which Jeff Daniels character
goes on a rant in response to a college girls question as to what makes America the greatest country
in the world.
No, Daniels character seethes, America is NOT
the greatest country in the world. He ticks off the
lesser rankings we hold literacy, infant mortality,
etc. and eventually asserts that we lead the world
in only three categories: 1) number of incarcerated
citizens per capita; 2) number of adults who believe
angels are real, and 3) and defense spending, where
we spend more than the next 26 countries combined.
Besides promoting his own political agenda to
hammer down Republicans, conservative philosophy and corporate influence, producer Aaron
Sorkins series imagines the emergence of a new
breed of valiant super journalist not afraid to speak
truth to power regardless of economic or political
consequence (as long as theyre confronting the
Koch brothers or their minions in the national
conservative Armada never George Soros, environmentalists or the NEA, of course). The series
ran flat after three seasons; audiences apparently
were left uninspired by the super journalist, no
doubt much due to the fact that even Daniels initial
premise in the pilot was inaccurate and flawed.
America leads the world in only three categories? Really? Sorkins researchers must have forgotten how to Google.
Oops forgot Gross Domestic Product. The
U.S. has the largest economy in the world, nearly
twice that of China, which is number two. Nobel
Laureates? We have some 350 winners; most other
countries dont even have 100.
Lets see patents: nearly 160,000 legal protections filed for amazing original ideas almost as
many as 2nd and 3rd place Japan and Germany
combined. Then theres immigrants: we have 46
million foreign-born citizens, four times the number of the next country on the list (Russia), and that
doesnt count 11 million illegals who risk prosecution and deportation in order to stay in the United
States.
Of course we lead in foreign aid donations: we
give some $24 billion per year to impoverished,
struggling and strategically valuable nations, nearly two times that as the runner up United Kingdom.
We donate the most dollars to domestic and world

charities. Theres also our ranking at the top of
nations hosting foreign students at our universities 740,000 in 2014, while the UK was in second
place with 427,000. For a country so hamstrung by
the limitations of the rich and powerful, a lot of
students still want to come here and learn how we
do it.
Daniels character makes another crack to the
effect that our national pathos prevents us from
building things great things any more. This is
a buy-in to the great modern myth that America
doesnt produce anything anymore. While its true
that we dont make, say, shoes here anymore, its
also true that we make the machines that make the
shoes and we sell them to the people who do. That
points often lost on the America haters.
Sorkins writers again miss the obvious evidence the Hubble Space Telescope, Teslas gigafactory, the Internet (take a bow Al Gore), Google,
the Global Positioning System, the TeV Particle
Accelerator, the 350,000 mirror Ivanpak Solar
Electric Generating Station. The list goes on and on
amazing projects and accomplishments and all
of them American made despite the conservative
corruption that chokes off our greatness.
The biggest problem with the inaccuracies in
this fictional diatribe is that nowadays the audience of the confused and the gullible asssume
television characters know what theyre talking
about. I mean, theyre on TV, afterall. A big chunk
of television- watching America trusts the figments
of some Hollywood cranks imagination more than
their own desire to know the truth.
That Hollywood establishment, steeped in leftist
prejudice and politics, will never give American
success its due.

President Obamas Che moment
President Barack Obama inadvertently
found the perfect photo-op for his Cuba visit
at a wreath-laying ceremony at the Jose Marti
Memorial in Havana.
A news photo at Revolution Square caught
Obama standing together with American and
Cuban officials, with an enormous mural
of the iconic revolutionary Che Guevara
looming over his shoulder on the adjacent
Ministry of the Interior building.
Che is, of course, ubiquitous on dorm-room
walls and T-shirts in the United States, and
a hero of the Cuban revolution. He also was
a coldblooded killer who set up the Cuban
gulag and presided over summary executions
of political prisoners (trials were, per Che,
an archaic bourgeois detail). No doubt, he
would have been astonished at the Yanqui
president coming to Revolution Square to pay
his respects — and exceedingly pleased.
President Obamas trip is self-consciously
historic. It ensures that the first visit to Cuba
by an American president in almost 90 years
will be part of Obamas legacy, and seeks
to make his opening to Cuba, announced in
December 2014, irreversible. If that means
extending credibility and a financial lifeline
to a Castro regime that has no intention of
reforming, so be it.
The regime made it clear that it wouldnt
bother with maintaining even a pretense of
relaxing its grip with the arrest of protesters
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
at a march of the dissident group Ladies in
White while President Obama was en route to
the country.
There is no sign of greater openness in
Cuba since President Obama forged his break
with long-standing U.S. policy. Political
arrests have accelerated. There were more
than 8,000 in 2015, four times as many as in
2010. The exodus of desperate Cubans to the
United States has picked up. And the country still ranks below Zimbabwe and Iran on
Internet connectivity.
But Obamas opening has produced a
financial windfall for the regime. The Cuban
military occupies the commanding heights
of the economy and controls the tourism
business, which has been thriving with the
influx of American tourists. Starwood Hotels
and Resorts just got special permission from
the U.S. Treasury to operate three hotels in
Havana, in a boost, not for the free market,
but for the Cuban government.
If Cuba were a repressive, small-minded
military dictatorship of the right, Obamas
visit and accommodationist attitude wouldnt
be considered so broad-minded. But a patina
of revolutionary romance, embodied by that
image of Che looking down on President
Obama, still hangs over Cuba. It makes its
human-rights abuses, theft and lies an afterthought, or even excusable, for the American
left.
After the Cuban missile crisis, Che said
that in the event of a U.S. attack, if the rockets had remained, we would have used them
all and directed them against the very heart
of the United States, including New York,
in our defense against aggression. It would
have been beyond his imagining that so many
decades later, with the revolutionary regime
cash-strapped and decrepit, the imperialist
Goliath would come bearing gifts, and asking
for nothing substantial in return, except a
line in President Obamas Wikipedia entry.

State left wondering what it forgot to do
Youve done itdriven down the block
and around the corner and wonderdid the
garage door go down? Or did I pour water for
the cat, or whatever else you let run around
the house when youre gone?
Well, legislators are now safely home and
have a month to ask themselves those same
questions. What did they forgetor just didnt
get doneand whats it going to look like
when they get back to the Statehouse in late
April?
Chances are it isnt going to get pretty.
The budget is, of course, the big issue. With
a strictly on-paper shortfall of maybe $30 million and likely to get bigger between now and
the end of the fiscal year on June 30, some are
wondering what to do and who will do it.
Lawmakers armed Gov. Sam Brownback
with some ways to battle an unconstitutional
negative General Fund Balance come June 30.
Theres that permission for delaying until
after the start of the next fiscal year the roughly $100 million that is due to the Kansas Public
Employees Retirement System. Hell have to
pay back that $100 million with interest, but
its a short-term plan to get over the July 1
hump. Pensioners arent happy about it, but
theyve by now been told that it isnt going to
make their checks short.
And, then theres the Bank of KDOTraiding the state highway fund for spare cash
that governors have done in the pastbut for
smaller amounts than Brownback has taken
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
during his administration.
But the real fears: Fridaywhen the official tally of receipts to the State General Fund
for the month March are announcedand the
April 20 final report of this fiscal year by the
Consensus Revenue Estimating Group, the
CREG as its called in the Statehouse.
That CREG estimate will be the official
estimate for the fund balance at the end of the
fiscal year, and while its official and such,
the state still has to have at least one official
dollar bill in the treasury on June 30.
While legislators are enjoying Spring Break
and starting up their campaign machines for
the primary and general electionstheres
still that wondering whether they have actually gotten the garage door closed on this fiscal
year.
If the states finances dont get too much
worse, theyve given the governor enough
ways to balance the budget with spending
cuts announced from the second floor of the
Statehouse.
If he wants to
Thats where things get a little tricky,
because the other option for the governor is
to hand the Legislature a list of cuts and shuffles he wants lawmakers to make before they
hit the campaign trail. But, the easy ones are
about used up.
Does the governor actually shuffle money
or require furloughs of state employeesthat
downsizing of state government that he has
talked about for years? Or does he run out a
bill for lawmakers to consider in late April to
make quick cuts in budgets for the upcoming
fiscal year, which tend to take the edge off this
years final budget maneuvers?
Nobody knows until we see the numbers for
March and the CREG projection for the rest of
the year. But its one of those issues that for
legislators probably is more concerning than
whether the garage door went downand as
concerning as whether the cat has water

Fundraiser planned for new Richmond Fair barn Central Heights MS
Richmond Fair organizers are planning a barn raising. On April 2, 2016,
a Hog Roast will be offered, with all of
the fixings (supplied by the Richmond
Ruritans), and an auction to follow.
For the past couple of years the fair
have had more animals than they really
have room for. The Richmond Fair is an
open fair, meaning that anyone (4-H or
FFA) from any county is able to enter.
Last year, the fair had kids from five
counties show. Fair organizers try and get
the kids ready for their own shows.
Recently, organizers decided to try and
get a new barn. They approached local
building manufacturing company QSI
with thoughts to see if they could help.
They answered with, We will build what
you want if you get the ground ready and
you get the inside done.

Money is needed for the fencing, lights,

The goal is to be up and running July
7, and have all animals shown in the new
arena.

than usual. Recent rains have
helped, especially as new,
green grass grows that isnt as
vulnerable to fire.
We had a grass fire the
other day that was five acres
when I arrived on the scene,
Brinkmeyer said. We had a
little trouble getting people out
to it, and by the time we got the
firefight going it was 20 acres.
Crews soon were able to get
that fire under control. The
county has been fortunate that
most of the recent grass fires
were quickly controlled, mostly thanks to volunteer firefighters who are able to quickly
respond, Brinkmeyer said.
But because all of the countys rural fire departments are
manned by volunteers, it can
sometimes be challenging for
firefighters to drop whatever
they are doing and get to the
fire.
Thats why its important to
have good mutual aid agreements with departments in
nearby counties, Brinkmeyer
said. So far, Anderson County
hasnt needed to call other
departments to help fight fires
within the county. But several
times, they have sent firefighters to other area counties to
help with their out-of-control
fires. Even so, on a couple of
occasions he had to call his
firefighters back to help with a
fire inside Anderson County.
Thats the problem. If
weve got fires going, you can
be sure surrounding counties
have fires going, too, he said.
Brinkmeyer reviewed mutual aid agreements last week
as the wildfires raged in other
parts of the state. He found at
least one agreement that needed to be updated.
He also reviewed water
resources, because getting
water to the scene is one of the
most critical aspects of fighting
fires. The county recently has
obtained new equipment, espe-
cially new tanker trucks, that
should help them haul large
amounts of water in a relatively short time. Its best to use
clean water, because it wont
clog the nozzles and hoses, but
the county also can pull water
from creeks, ponds and rivers.
Within the first 20 minutes
of a call, I can have close to
10,000 gallons of water on the
scene, he said.
Brinkmeyer said he also
encourages fire departments to
check their trucks each time
they have a meeting, and conduct regular maintenance to
keep the trucks in working
order.
Hes also been reviewing
other available resources, such
as private industries that can
be called for help. For example, Hurricane Services and
Beachner Grain each have
their own large fleets of tanker
trucks that could help deliver
water in an emergency.
Were talking hundreds of
thousands of gallons of water
that could be needed in an
extreme wildfire situation, he
said.
Since the wildfires broke
out in Comanche, Barber and
other counties in Kansas and
in Woods County, Okla., many
farmers and ranchers have
sent hay to those affected by the
incident. The Kansas Livestock
Foundation said most area
ranchers have enough hay, but
cash donations are needed to
purchase fencing supplies.
The Kansas Livestock
Foundation (KLF) is the
charitable arm of the Kansas
Livestock Association. To help,
make checks payable to the
Kansas Livestock Foundation
and put Disaster relief in the
memo line. Send to 6031 S.W.
37th, Topeka, Kansas 66614.

Community in the 1980s.
Garnett City Manager Joyce
Martin said the program was
successful for many years.
This was one of the most
engaging and hardworking
committees the city ever had,
she said.
Martin said it was a good
way to engage youth in the
community. She said its
important to teach youth about
the city and its many available
resources and activities.
Only 106 people returned
a recent survey about becoming a PRIDE Community. The
citys population is roughly
3,300.
Although that sounds like
a very small percentage, those
who responded to the survey
had good suggestions, Martin
said. Several people said they
would like to serve on a committee for the group, if it were
to be established.
She encouraged city commissioners to review the survey results, and hoped to have a
resolution prepared at a future
meeting. Such a resolution, if
approved by the commissioners, is the next step toward
establishing the committee.

Paige Scheckel brought
home the Bulldog of the Year
award for the girls basketball
squad. Scheckel was a 3-year
starter and was first team allleague this year, as well as
state honorable mention.
Paige puts the team first
and has showed a great love
of the game ever since she was
a freshman, head coach Tim
Bremerman said. She also has
a very high basketball IQ.
The Crimson Dancers team
also announced their winner.
Remi Burns was voted by her
teammates as the Bulldog of
the Year.
Following a berth in the
state playoffs, the boys basketball team voted Chase Ratliff as
Bulldog of the Year. Ratliff was
also an all-league performer.
Kyle Lamb brought home
the Bulldog of the Year award
for the wrestling squad. Lamb
is fresh off a state appearance.
He showed great commitment,
dedication, mental toughness
and was a good spokesman for
the rest of his teammates.
To close out the evening,
athletic director Matt Self and
principal Kenny Kellstadt
handed out a few special
awards.
Derrick Nelson won the Ray
Meyer Sportsmanship Award.
The award is given to a senior
basketball player that is a leader, enthusiastic, team player,
doesnt show emotion to officials, one who is humble in
defeat and a gracious winner.
Three athletes were awarded Senior Scholar Athlete
Awards. Maci Rockers, Zane
Phelps and Derrick Nelson all
brought home the honors.
city leaders say the city cannot afford to pay what could
be hundreds of thousands of
dollars in street repairs, and
preference typically is given to
fixing residential streets.
As a result, race organizers
plan to do their part to help
fix the road. The next Revival
event, scheduled for October,
will increase entry fees to
participants by $10, and that
money will go toward road
repair. The additional fee is
expected to generate between
$2,000 to $2,500. While thats
a small amount compared to
the total amount needed, its
a start, Garnett City Manager
Joyce Martin told commissioners at their regular meeting
Tuesday, March 22.
A committee made of city
residents and some of the members of the group that brings
the Revival event to Garnett
also is looking into the cost of
repairing 1,000 feet of the road.
They plan to target the worst
stretch of the road, about 500
feet north of the golf course
entrance and about 500 feet
south of the entrance. Martin
said she hoped to be able to
bring a proposal to the commission soon.
The committee also hopes
to develop a long-term plan for
street repairs at the lake.
In a related topic, Martin
said she and city road department staff also are investigating a new type of road construction material that could
be significantly cheaper and
last longer than the current
process of milling city streets
and laying new asphalt.

Music makes
for better sales
The chicken fried steak I
had that day at the cafe was
out of this world, but without
any music playing in the background, I could hear too many
things I didnt want to hear.
For starters I could hear
every conversation going on
in the kitchen. I could hear a
bearing going out of the fan
in the air conditioning unit; I
could hear every clink of silverware against other customers
plates. The traffic outside passing the window sounded like it
was right by my table.
I didnt stay for dessert, and
that cost the joint $3.49.
Ive noticed since then in
similar music-less situations
how desperately most venues need background music,
and that fact is borne out in
research that shows the right
kind of music enhances customers moods and drives more
sales.
Its true for two big reasons:
1) people are more likely to
enjoy a shopping experience if
theyre in a good mood, and
music is one of the exterior
elements that gets them there;
2) the lack of music allows us
to be invaded by the rest of the
abrasive and invasive world
sounds of every-day life mechanization, traffic, a crying baby
and most of them just arent
all that pleasant.
The fact is, there are a lot
of things that can affect customer behavior. Things like
past experience always come
in to play along with retail displays, color use, store layout,
not to mention personal issues
among customers like money
and other mood determiners.
But research has proven if
you match background music
not just to your customers but
also your brand, you can get
people to linger longer about
18 percent longer on average
and boost their spending by as
much as 17 percent or more.

HOW TO SELL STUFF
Dane Hicks
Review Publisher
reviews a handful of research
examples that confirm the
impact. Grocery stores, which
do more retail than anybody,
pioneered customer mood
research and found that louder
music made customers move
through a store more quickly but didnt appear to reduce
purchases. Softer, lower tempo
music increased their length
of stay and increased the purchases they made. High brow
classical music may make people buy more at a restaurant or
wine shop, but it also paints the
picture in customers minds
that things in this store are
more expensive, and that may
affect their shopping pattern
development and chances/frequency of returning there to
shop.
What kind of music should
you play? Consider your customer profile and the fact that
your small business more than
likely seeks customers from a
range of ages and backgrounds.
The melba toast approach is
probably best, and if your customer profile changes on certain days of the week or during
the day, be ready to match it
with appropriate music.
Music soothes the savage
beast, and it can also help you
sell stuff.

In the book of Deuteronomy
God through his servant Moses
prepares the people for entrance
into the promise land. The wilderness wandering is nearly at
an end. Those who God denied
entrance into the promise land
have died and what is left,
those who were brought out of
Egyptian slavery, those under
twenty years of age and those
who were born during the 40
years of wilderness wanderings, Moses addresses as follows. If they keep Gods rules
and commands those entering
the promise land are told they
will be blessed with the early
and the latter rains so they
may gather their grain, oil and
wine as well as grass for their
livestock and they will eat and
be full. The LORD promises to
drive out all the nations inhabiting the land so they may live
in peace as well.
However if the people fail
to keep Gods statutes, rules
and commands he promises to
withhold all the blessings to
the extent the very existence
of the people will be threatened or cursed. This is very
plainly stated in Deuteronomy
11:26 when Moses speaking for
God says, See I am setting
before you today a blessing
and a curse; the blessing if you

you have not known.
I believe there is reason to
believe these same principals
apply today. God is immutable
or unchanging, he does not
raise or lower his requirements based on human need.
I the LORD do not change.
(Mal. 3:5) His methods and covenants with men may change,
but his principals and character do not. Man on the other
hand is weak and through this
weakness is unable to carry out
his promises.
Since God is unchanging
he is faithful. This is a characteristic that man struggles
with. Too many times our
judgment is clouded due to our
preference for the ways of the
world. If you tell yourself often
enough what you are doing is
acceptable and you can gain
the acceptance of man it is not
hard to proceed down that path.
From Genesis to Revelation the
Bible is full of accounts of men
and women being unfaithful in
their walk with God. If we confess our sins God is faithful and
true to forgive us. If we choose
not to, God will withdraw the
blessing and allow us to apply
the curse to ourselves.

Whats that
SMELL?
Some plants look pretty, but smell terrible
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Anderson County farmer Rex Lizer
recently started planting turnips and
radishes as cover crops as part of his soil
conservation efforts. The plants hold soil
in place, break up tight clods for better
aeration and cycle nutrients back into
the ground to help future crops.
But as the large, edible roots rot into
the ground, they let off a very distinct,
unpleasant aroma.
It smells like dead bodies, Lizer said
in January, as the scent wafted for miles
around the countryside.
He added, joking, My neighbors hate
me.
Everything, even a plant, smells bad
when it decomposes, Shannon Blocker,
agriculture agent for the Frontier
Extension District in Anderson County,
said. When something decomposes, it lets
off a gas that has a distinctive aroma.
Even alfalfa fields, if exposed to too
much water or a hard freeze that damages the cells, can rot and emit a pungent
aroma.
Some plants, flowers and trees smell
terrible even before they die and rot,
Blocker said.
Attractive Smells
Of course, attractive is all in the eye
– or nose – of the beholder.
Often, stinky plants are just trying to
attract pollinators that turn their noses
up to the fragrant aromas we humans
find appealing, Blocker said.
If you dont have to compete with the
pretty-smelling flowers, the smelly ones
can attract pollinators that like stinky
stuff, she said.
For example, the so-called corpse
flower, a.k.a. Amorphophallus titanum
or titan arum, smells like rotting flesh.
The rare flower is composed of various
molecules that smell terrible, like rotting
fish or gym socks. The combined stench
is repellent to most humans, but its
heavenly to flesh-loving insects like dung
beetles and flies. They lay eggs inside the
flower and fly away covered in pollen.
You wont find a corpse flower anywhere in Anderson County. It is native to
equatorial rain forests, and mostly exists
in the U.S. only in botanical gardens.
People travel for miles to witness one of
the rare blooms, and to take in the horrible scent.
But there are plenty of other stinky
plants found closer to home, Blocker
said.
Take, for example, the Bradford pear
tree. The more generic term is callery
or ornamental pear tree, and such trees
are very common in this area. These
fast-growing, wide-canopied trees recently bloomed, featuring pretty white flowers. Because they were once popular
ornamental trees, they often line streets,
driveways and other boundaries.
But take a walk along those pretty,
tree-lined streets, and youll soon be asking, What died?
The smell of Bradford pear blossoms is commonly compared to dead
fish. Blocker said the smell most likely
attracts flies, bees or other pollinators,
even though humans find it unappealing.
Detractive Smells
Other plants can use scent to deter,
rather than attract. The popular marigold flower, for example, often is planted around gardens because the smell is
thought to repel flying insects like flies
that could damage tomatoes, peppers or
carrots. When planted near beans or
cucumbers, the smell seems to ward off
beetles, spider mites and other pests.
Some types of marigolds may even repel
rabbits with their unpleasant scents.
Converted Smells
Some plants dont have an unpleasant
smell when grown, but can stink when
processed. Corn is a good local example.

bread. The smell is familiar to people in
Garnett, where the East Kansas AgriEnergy plant is located. Most
people call it an unpleasant
odor, although some people
dont mind it or even think it
smells good. The smell varies
from non-existant to mild to
strong.
Other Examples
Blocker provided other
examples of plants that smell:
Onions and garlic. Its not
common to find farmers who
grow onions or garlic commercially in this part of the
country, but Blocker knows
at least one local farmer who
grows onions commercially
on a small scale. That person,
fortunately, doesnt have any
close neighbors, she said.
Gardeners in the city limits might grow those kinds
of smelly plants, but usually not in enough quantity to
offend their neighbors.

a.k.a. Ailanthus altissima.
You can find examples of
this invasive, suckering tree

Special to The Anderson County Review – March 29, 2016
Understanding historic live cattle price volatility
MANHATTAN Cattle buyers and sellers
have been experiencing a fluctuation of
sorts, not just in the live cattle markets
over the last eight months but also in
their within-day trades.
The live cattle market volatility in
the last year, but particularly in the last
eight months, shows a major downturn in
price, explained Kansas State University
livestock economist Ted Schroeder. For
example, live fed steers have gone from
selling in the mid-$160s per hundredweight (cwt) about this time a year ago,
dropped all the way to $115/cwt in late
December 2015 and averaged $137/cwt the
week of March 11, according to the U.S.
Department of Agricultures Agricultural
Marketing Service.
That magnitude of price movement
across just a few months and that kind of
volatility is something we havent seen
historically in terms of total dollar magnitude in fed cattle markets, Schroeder
said.
Buyers and sellers are also experiencing within-day volatility in the futures
market and the sometimes wide range of
prices between the high and low price for
the day, he said.
Anytime a market is in rapid movement, whether its upward or downward
movement, theres going to be a tendency
for within-day variability to also escalate, Schroeder said.
Part of the reason for this is market
participants are looking forward and contemplating where the market is headed as
they negotiate trades. They are anticipating market direction without full infor-
mation, and information is flowing at an
accelerated rate.
The market is grappling to some
extent for the latest information,
Schroeder said. Transactions, as a result,
end up with more volatility within the
day, because theres a lot of uncertainty
about where the market is going next.
Areas of uncertainty
Part of the uncertainty comes from
price discovery, which happens as information is gathered. Schroeder said those
who are selling are using the knowledge
they have to establish an asking price,
and those who are buying are trying to
put together a bid price. The collective
information each side has is used to generate an agreeable transaction price.
When the market is experiencing rapid
movements, whether in domestic supply
and demand or in exports, those who are
involved in that market buyers and
sellers are both striving to try to figure
out where the next price is, day to day and
within the day, he said.
Then theres the question about who
is using cash trade information for price
discovery and in what ways, Schroeder
said, adding that there has been a recent
reduction in the number of cash transactions being negotiated in the live cattle
market.
When we reduce the volume of trade
thats establishing the price in the market, as weve done in a big way in the cattle market over the last three years or so,
were reducing the amount of information
thats being impounded into that price,
he said. Transactions themselves create
$8.1 million available to plant
trees, protect streams and fields
MANHATTAN The Natural Resources
Conservation Service is now accepting
applications for Kansas Forest Services
Water Quality Improvement through the
Implementation of Forestry Practices initiative. A five-year partnership agreement
between NRCS and the Kansas Forest Service
provides free technical assistance, in addition
to $8.1 million in financial assistance to landowners who implement conservation practices, such as planting trees to control erosion
and improve water quality.
With additional financial assistance
from Watershed Restoration and Protection
Strategy groups, a landowner would only need
to cover 10 percent of the total conservation
project cost.
This project provides a great opportunity where conservation stewardship can add
value to the property at a reasonable cost,
said Eric Banks, NRCS Kansas state conservationist.
Assistance is available for landowners in
targeted watersheds. Many Kansas streams in
the eastern one-third of Kansas lack adequate
tree cover to stabilize streambanks.
According to the Kansas Water Office,
federal reservoirs in Kansas serve as the
source of municipal and industrial water for
more than two-thirds of the states population.
Runoff and erosion contribute to sedimentation of these reservoirs. Trees help stabilize
river banks, keep debris off of fields, and
ultimately improve water quality by reducing
sediment entry into streams. This program
also funds the improvement of the quality and
productivity of woodlands and forests, which
are vital to overall watershed health.
This type of partnership agreement is a
new feature included in the 2014 Farm Bill.
Called the Regional Conservation Partnership
Program, it encourages partners to join in
efforts with producers to increase the restoration and sustainable use of soil, water, wildlife, and related natural resources on regional
or watershed scales. The program lets partners (such as the Kansas Forest Service)
stretch their resources and share expertise to
help producers install and maintain conservation activities in selected project areas.
Applications will be taken until funding is
exhausted, and the project will be funded on
a first come, first served basis as long as the
resource concern meets the NRCS and Kansas
Forest Service conservation criteria.
For more information on eligibility requirements and how to apply, call or visit your local
NRCS office located in USDA Service Centers.
Locations and contact information are available online at Natural Resources Conservation
Service Kansas by clicking on Find a Service
Center under Kansas Links. Eligible areas

information for the trade, so part of this
goes back to the cash trade. Information
flows both directions between futures and
cash.
Fewer transactions and a spottier trade
environment have led to other concerns
as well, Schroeder said. In the last eight
months, some buyers have witnessed situations where cattle on negotiated trade
were getting too heavy partly because
sellers could continue to take advantage
of low feed costs and feed cattle while
waiting for the right time to sell.
High-frequency and large-volume

The presence of high-frequency electronic trading, or exchanges in the market that occur rapidly, can influence within-day price variability, Schroeder said,
especially if these rapid exchanges are
large in volume.
To get another trade executed on the
other side of that large trade, the market
may have to move before that next trade
is executed, he explained. The fact that
large volume trading may be occurring
more quickly could add a little more volatility.
However, from the data hes seen that
CME Group has shared, high-frequency
trading in live cattle has for the most part
not been of large volume, even during
some of the most volatile trading days.
On average, 10 percent of the volume is
of high-frequency trade in the live cattle
market, according to the CME Group estimates.
Schroeder added that any type of trade
whether high or low frequency, large or
2×6
beckman
small volume increases liquidity in a
futures market.
Thats the ability of you as a seller to
rapidly make a sale order without having
the price go down to do it or me as a buyer
to be able to buy without having to make
the price go up to get that transaction to
occur, Schroeder said.
If you have large volumes of trade on
both sides of that market occurring, you
can easily make that trade without forcing
price to move for your trade to occur, he
continued. While high-frequency trading
could add to variability within the day, it
also provides liquidity for those who do
want to make a trade quickly without a lot
of slippage in that market.
Advice to buyers and sellers
The best advice Schroeder has for cattle buyers and sellers in the current market is to stick with a plan.
If youre placing the hedge, place it as
soon as youve established the feeder cattle purchase price, he said. Dont wait
two days, because who knows where you
will be. If youre doing this in the morning, dont wait until the afternoon. You
cant work off averages; an hour from now
that average could be at a different point.
Theres that much variability.
Schroeder said he doesnt think this is
a new normal in the cattle markets but
is mainly due to current uncertainty.
However, the variability is probably not
going away for a while.

Ag outlook: Tough times are likely ahead
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The next couple years could
be difficult for area farmers and ranchers.
A recent seminar on the future of agriculture outlined some of the challenges
facing producers as worldwide competition for crops like corn and soybeans is
expected to result in significantly lower
commodity prices.
Shannon Blocker, agriculture agent for
Frontier Extension District in Anderson
County, attended the WIBW Radio Farm
Profit Conference Wednesday, March 23,
in Garnett. Presenters talked about the
impact of the worlds economy on local
ag production.
The world economy has way more
to do with this than most of us want to
believe, Blocker said.
According to a congressional report
on the U.S. Farm Income Outlook for
2016, national net farm income is expected to decrease by 3 percent, for the third
consecutive year to the lowest levels
since 2002.
Declining prices for most major program crops signal tougher times ahead,
the report read. Falling prices are
expected to trigger substantial payments
under the new safety net programs of the
2014 farm bill; however, eventual 2016
agricultural economic well-being will
hinge on crop prospects and prices, as
well as both domestic and international
macroeconomic factors, including economic growth and consumer demand.
Farmers this year should make conservative decisions and take advantage
of price protection programs and yield
protection programs like crop insurance,
Blocker said.
The expenses associated with farming
mostly come at the front end, Blocker
said. Thats why its important to take
steps to protect your investment, she
said.
If were all wrong and its a really
fantastic year and we have lots of production and great prices, then maybe
you wouldnt make as much money. But
the chances of losing are so much higher
if you dont take advantage of the price
protections and yield protections that are
out there, she said.
Prices may be lower, but the costs
associated with planting – like seed, fertilizer and herbicide – are very high, which
makes it difficult to make a profit. This
year, thats probably more true for corn
Pollinator-friendly
flowers make new
Prairie Star list
OLATHE Some flowers are just born
stars. Say, for instance, the glamorous-sounding Glitterati Ice Queen geranium. The flower, along with others that
fared well in the Kansas climate for two
consecutive years, has been named to the
most recent Prairie Star Flower list of
recommended annual flowers for Kansas.
To make it to the list, plant breeders
from around the world send flower seeds
or rooted cuttings to a team at Kansas
State University, who start them in greenhouses early in the spring. The plants are
transplanted outdoors in different locations around Kansas when the weather
warms. Theyre evaluated throughout the
growing season and ultimately judged on
their vigor, flowers and foliage.
To be on the Prairie Star list, a cultivar
must perform well for two years, including growing and flowering abundantly
with minimal care. Thats not always easy
with Kansas sometimes challenging temperatures, winds and rainfall, or lack of.
The flowers that made it onto the newest list thrived despite difficult beginnings.
Last year was a challenging year
because of the wetter-than-usual (spring)
conditions, said Robin Ruether, Prairie
Star program coordinator based at
Kansas States Horticulture Research and
Extension Center near Olathe. Like many
gardeners and landscapers last spring,
her team had a difficult time finding conditions dry enough to get the plants in the
ground. Some died, some performed ok
and others thrived.
The list includes flower name, cultivar or color, planting location such as
full sun or sun or shade, and average
height and width of the plant. It is also
categorized into plants for flower display,
plants for foliage display and plants for
container gardens.
When asked about trends in flowers,
Ruether said pollinator friendly and
drought tolerant are traits many gardeners look for.
There are a few new salvia additions
to the list for 2016 that insects really love,
she said, adding that some cultivars of
salvia, lantana and gomphrena, as well as
the Mojave series of portulaca seem to
like it hot and dry.
Prairie Star is not a commercial brand
or product line, Ruether said. It tells
what cultivars to look for, for example
a Surefire Red begonia, rather than a
generic begonia, because not all begonias
grow well on the Kansas prairie. Garden
centers may not label plants Prairie Star,
so she encourages gardeners to print the
Prairie Star list and take it plant shopping.
Ruether also writes the Prairie Star
blog.
that soybeans and could encourage more
farmers to play beans rather than corn,
Blocker said.
But if we over-produce soybeans it
will bottom out, too. The input costs
are slightly less, but nothing is zero,
Blocker said. If youre a farmer, youll
probably plant something. There will
probably still be a lot of people planting
corn or grain sorghum.
Wheat prices are very low and there
is more wheat in the world market than
we know what to do with, Blocker said.
Anderson County typically doesnt plant
much wheat – its the third most common
crop after corn and soybeans, respectively – and she expects most farmers will
avoid wheat this year.
Another example of how farm income
has declined is to look at the cash rental
rates of cropland in Anderson County.
K-State has predicted cropland rental
rates will barely top $50 per acre in 2016,
down from $58 in 2015 and $90 in 2014.

TPP could boost farm exports and income
The United States needs the TransPacific Partnership (TPP) to compete in
world markets. The trade agreement with
11 other countries in the Pacific Rim
— including Canada and Mexico could
eliminate 18,000 tariffs countries place on
U.S. goods and services.
Ratifying TPP could boost annual net
farm income in the United States by $4.4
billion, compared to not approving the
pact, according to American Farm Bureau
Federation economic analysis.
TPP will mean more exports for everything we raise in America and Kansas,
says Barton County farmer stockman
Keith Miller. Miller also serves as chair
of the international trade advisory committee for the American Farm Bureau
Federation. Right now, our current trade
policy puts our farmers, ranchers, workers and businesses at a disadvantage, with
higher costs for American goods.
The TPP agreement is expected to
INSIGHT
By John Schlageck,

increase cash receipts and net exports
from Kansas by $303.7 million and $213.7
million per year respectively, AFBF estimates.
Increased marketing opportunities for
Kansas farmers and ranchers could add
more than 1,600 jobs for the Kansas economy, Miller says. Eliminating tariffs and
other trade barriers on Kansas ag exports
to TPP-partner countries will increase
trade for beef, pork, soybeans and processed food products.
Export sales make an important contribution to the Kansas farm economy. In
2014, cash receipts for Kansas ag commodities totaled $16.6 billion.
Our Kansas cattle industry led all
other ag products with nearly $9 billion in
cash receipts in 2014, Miller says. TPP
passage is expected to increase beef cash
receipts by $151 million per year.
This is driven by a $139.3 million per
year increase in direct exports to TPP
countries.
With TPP, Japan will eliminate 74 percent of duties on beef imports within 16
years, according to AFBF analysis. This
includes reducing a tariff of 38.5 percent
to 9 percent within 16 years on fresh,
chilled and frozen beef cuts.
Additional AFBF analysis forecasts
farm-price increases for corn (5 cents per
bushel), soybeans (12 cents per bushel),
wheat (2 cents per bushel) and rice (16
cents per hundredweight).
AFBF also predicts price increases for
beef ($2.66 per hundredweight), pork ($2.45
per hundredweight) and poultry ($1.40
per hundredweight). In the dairy sector,
prices will increase for butter ($2.81 per
hundredweight), cheese ($1.68 per hundredweight), nonfat dry milk ($1.29 per
hundredweight) and all milk (21 cents per
hundredweight).
Ninety-five percent of the worlds
consumers live outside U.S. borders.
American-made products and services
remain in demand, making American
exports a vital pillar of our 21st century economy. When the rules are fair,
Americans can out-compete anyone in the
world.
Urge Congress to ratify TPP and help
ensure U.S. farmers, stockmen, businessmen and workers compete in todays global economy.

KDA announces specialty crop grant opportunity
MANHATTAN The Kansas Department of
Agriculture (KDA) is accepting applications
for the 2016 Specialty Crop Block Grant program. Funds for the program are awarded
to the agency by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing
Service. The funds are in turn granted to
projects and organizations that promote the
competitiveness of specialty crops.
The purpose of the specialty crop pro-
gram is to enhance the competitiveness of
specialty crops. Specialty crops are defined
by the USDA as fruits, vegetables, tree
nuts, dried fruits, horticulture, and nursery crops (including floriculture). This
opportunity supports the KDAs mission of
providing an environment that enhances
and encourages economic growth of the
agriculture industry in Kansas.
In 2015, Kansas received $319,420 for
2×3

Kansas State University team part of
$10M grant to study Ogallala Aquifer
MANHATTAN For more than 80 years,
the Ogallala Aquifer, the largest freshwater aquifer in the world, has been the
main source of agricultural and public
water for western Kansas and parts of
seven other states in the Great Plains.
Now, Kansas State University researchers will play an important role within a
U.S. Department of Agriculture-National
Institute of Food and Agriculture-funded
university consortium to address agricultural sustainability on the aquifer.
The consortium, led by Colorado State
University, Kansas State University and
six other universities as well as USDAs
Agricultural Research Service, has been
awarded a USDA Water for Agriculture
Challenge Area Coordinated Agriculture
Project grant that will provide $10 million
over four years for innovative research
and extension activities to address water
challenges in the Ogallala Aquifer region.
The Ogallala, along with many of the
worlds aquifers, is declining at a rate
many consider to be unsustainable. The
aquifers region currently accounts for 30
percent of total crop and animal production in the U.S. and more than 90 percent
of the water pumped from the Ogallala
Aquifer is used for irrigated agriculture.
The consortium will study how agricul-
ture within the region can adapt to declining water levels in the Ogallala Aquifer
and improve water use efficiency, said
Kansas State University team coordinator
Chuck Rice, university distinguished professor of agronomy and Mary L. Vanier
university professor.
Rice will lead with a multidisciplinary
team from the university that includes
Dan Devlin, director of the Kansas Center
for Agricultural Resources and the
Environment; Xiamao Lin, state climatologist and assistant professor of agronomy;
Vara Prasad, professor of agronomy and
director of the Feed the Future Sustainable
Intensification and Innovation Lab;
Matthew Sanderson, associate professor
of sociology; Bill Golden, research assistant professor in agricultural economics; Danny Rogers, professor of biological
and agricultural engineering; Jonathan
Aguilar, water resources engineer at the
Southwest Research-Extension Center;
and Isaya Kisekka, irrigation engineer
at the Southwest Research-Extension
Center. The researchers are from the
universitys College of Agriculture,
College of Arts & Sciences and College of
Engineering.
One of our primary goals within this
project is to take a broad, in-depth look at
2×3
anco farm bureau
how agricultural producers, landowners
and other stakeholders can become more
adaptive and resilient to changing water
and climatic conditions in the Ogallala
Aquifer region as a whole, and western
Kansas in particular, Rice said. We will
examine various management strategies
within the context of different water availability and environmental conditions in
the region. We will also focus on innovative irrigation technologies, cropping
systems, and decision support tools to
improve water use efficiency.
This project will support many of the
research and extension needs identified
by the governors Water Vision process,
Devlin said. It is also an indication of
the nationally recognized water resources
expertise of K-State faculty.
The Ogallala Aquifer is critical to the
state of Kansas and the regions agricultural economy, said John Floros, dean
of Kansas State Universitys College
of Agriculture and director of K-State
Research and Extension.
The aquifer also is important to
the global food system and feeding our
increasing world population, Floros
said. USDA recognizes the importance
of the Ogallala to the nations agriculture
and has chosen this team of experts to
lead efforts to prolong the use of the aquifer for future generations.
Equally important, the Kansas State
University team will study the social
and economic framework of the region
to determine the most effective ways to
increase adoption of the best adaptive
strategies available, he said.
Effective outreach efforts will be the
key to communicating our findings to all
those within the Ogallala Aquifer region,
Rice said. We will work hard to find the
best possible strategies for adapting to
likely future conditions involving declining water availability and climatic changes, but we then have to make sure our
findings are understood by those living
and working in this important agricultural region.
In addition to lead institutions Colorado
State University and Kansas State
University, other institutions involved
in this project include the University
of Nebraska, Lincoln; Oklahoma State
University; New Mexico State University;
Texas Tech University West Texas A&M

Plant a pollinator garden and enjoy the many benefits
By: Melinda Myers______ ______________________________
Whether planting a garden, enjoying the beauty of your landscape or sitting down to a delicious
meal, you have bees, butterflies and other pollinators to thank. These essential members of our
ecosystem are responsible for much of the food
and beauty we enjoy each day.
Unfortunately pesticides and habitat loss are
threatening their existence. There is something
you can do to help. Turn your garden, backyard
or balcony into a pollinators habitat.
Plant a variety of flowering plants that provide
nectar and pollen throughout the season. Planting
masses of natives, herbs and other pollinator
favorites like sedum, zinnias, alyssum, cosmos,
and columbine will attract these beauties to your
landscape. Include a variety of day and night
blooming flowers in a variety of colors and shapes
to support the widest range of pollinators. But
dont let a lack of space dissuade you; even a window box of flowers can help.
Keep your plants healthy and blooming with
proper care. Match the plants to the growing conditions, provide needed water and fertilize with
an organic nitrogen fertilizer when needed. Youll
promote slow steady plant growth that is less
susceptible to drought and pests. Plus the slow
release low nitrogen wont interfere with flowering which is essential to the health and well being
of our pollinators.
Supplement pollinators diets with a bit of
rotten fruit. And be sure to provide trees, shrubs,
parsley, dill and other plants that caterpillars,
grubs and the immature stage of other pollinators
prefer to feed upon. Put away the pesticides and
tolerate a few holes in the leaves of their favorite
plants. With a diversity of plants you can easily
overlook the temporary leaf damage. Plus, this is
a small price to pay for all the benefits they bring
to the garden.
Provide pollinators with shelter from predators and the weather. Include a variety of trees,
shrubs and perennials. Leave patches of open
soil for ground nesting bees and some leaf litter
to shelter some butterflies, bumblebees and other
pollinating insects. Supplement natural shelter
with commercial or homemade nesting boxes.
Youll find do-it-yourself plans on the internet
from various educational sources.
Puddles, fountains, birdbaths and even a damp
sponge can provide needed water. Include water
features with sloping sides or add a few stones to
create easier access. Or sink a shallow container
of sand in the ground. Keep it damp and add a
pinch of sea salt for the butterflies and bees.
Maximize your efforts by teaming up with your
neighbors. Together you can create a larger more
diverse habitat that provides pollinators with the
resources they need to thrive.
Your efforts will be rewarded with greater
harvests, beautiful flowers and colorful birds and
butterflies visiting your garden.

Kansas State University, Texas Tech University to
conduct beef cattle production medicine research
MANHATTAN Beef cattle researchers
from Kansas State University and Texas
Tech University are seeking feedlots to
participate in a feedlot cattle production
and health research study.
The collaborative research group
includes faculty from Kansas State
Universitys animal sciences and industry
department and the College of Veterinary
Medicine. They will work with researchers from Texas Techs animal and food
sciences department.
The group will focus on two areas of
cattle feeding: starting cattle on feed and
associated risks with bovine respiratory disease and the end of the feeding
period focused on performance, carcass
quality, fatigued cattle syndrome, heat
stress, acute interstitial pneumonia, liver
abscesses, cattle transport and others,
said Dan Thomson, a member of the collaborative research group and a professor
of diagnostic medicine and pathobiology
at Kansas State University.
Starting in May, the research group
will work with feedlots participating in
the study to better understand risks associated with acute interstitial pneumonia,
known as AIP, and liver abscesses. A parallel study involves interested feedlots to
participate in advanced necropsy training
for their feedlot employees in coordina-
tion with their consulting veterinarian
better understanding acute interstitial
pneumonia lesions by sending samples
from necropsied cattle to the Veterinary
Diagnostic Laboratory at Kansas State
University.
AIP cases and liver abscesses are economically crippling issues in our cattle feeding operations, Thomson said.
These surveys are important to help us
understand risk associated with geography, cattle type, facility design, animal
health programs, nutrition programs and
weather.
The collaborative beef group was
formed to leverage resources to serve
common beef producer and veterinary
stakeholders in Kansas and Texas through
research that will provide solutions for
beef cattle health and production issues
like acute interstitial pneumonia in cattle.
AIP is a recurring and frustrating problem for feedlots, said Guy
Loneragan, professor at Texas Tech and a
collaborator on team. It typically affects
those animals in their prime close to
slaughter. AIP needs a solution, and we
hope to provide that for the industry and
this survey is an important part of that
process.

Awesome opossums?
A K-State wildlife specialist discusses this often-misunderstood creature
MANHATTAN Opossums, or possums
as they are often called, are commonly
considered a nuisance. They are frequently called ugly creatures that rummage
through garbage, terrorize other small
animals, and play dead when threatened
or harmed. However, research suggests
these marsupials may be beneficial to the
wildlife ecosystem in a variety of ways.
By the numbers
Kansas has a large number of Virginia
opossums, said Charlie Lee, wildlife management specialist for Kansas
State University and K-State Research
and Extension. They have a wide range
throughout Central and North America,
and their range continues to expand.
He said opossums are found all the
way from Costa Rica to the southern part
of Ontario, Canada. They are typically
found east of the Rocky Mountains and
along the West Coast. They are limited in
northward and westward expansion by
temperature and snow depth, though, as
they are not well equipped for the cold and
snow.
The breeding season for opossums in
Kansas begins in early February, Lee
said. The mothers will wean their first
litter of the year in May and will mate
again for another weaned litter around
September.
Opossums are marsupials, and like
kangaroos, they carry their young in a
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 3-31-2015 /

small pouch until they grow and develop.
They are the only naturally occurring
marsupials found in North America.
Possum perceptions
Many people believe opossums are
unpleasant to the eye.
People think they look too much like
a dirty, scavenging rat, rather than an
interesting creature of Kansas, he said.
They certainly have unique characteristics that should get people thinking of
them in a positive manner.
2×3
3d recycling
Many may also believe that opossums
are not intelligent; however, research
has shown that they are generally smart
despite their small brain size. According
to a University of Missouri publication,
opossums scored better than rats, rabbits,
cats and dogs on their ability to remember, but they did not score better than
humans. Opossums also tend to outcompete other creatures for food.
They will kill a cockroach or even a
mouse found in their territory, although
they are generally not aggressive toward
humans, Lee said. In fact, their common
defenses are either fleeing or playing dead
when pursued by a human.
Opossums are commonly thought of as
the sanitation workers of the ecosystem,
he added. They eat carcasses, rodents,
insects, snails, slugs and beetles.
One unique fact about opossums is
that theyre a magnet for getting rid of
blacklegged ticks (otherwise known as
deer ticks), Lee said.
He referred to a study by the Cary
Institute of Ecosystem Studies that examined tick feeding on mammals. Those
tested included different species such as
white-footed mice, chipmunks, squirrels
and opossums, among others.
On opossums, only 3 percent of the
ticks that were introduced were able to
feed, Lee said. If you examine the normal tick load of opossums in the wild,

which is around 200 ticks, and theyre
consuming more than 95 percent of those
ticks as part of their grooming process,
they are responsible for removing about
5,500 ticks per year per opossum.
For the most part, opossums are
immune to rabies although a few cases
have existed, he said. On average, a feral
dog is eight times more likely to carry
rabies than an opossum. Opossums are
also resistant to some poisonous snakes
including rattlesnakes, cottonmouths and
pit vipers.
Drawbacks
Lee said despite the benefits of opossums, they are known to carry a variety of bacterial and viral diseases. They
can carry the dangerous equine protozoal
myeloencephalitis, or EPM, which mostly
affects horses when they ingest feed or
water contaminated with opossum feces.
The disease in horses can be prevented or
reduced by proper sanitation and biosecurity.
Problem opossums such as those
found by a landowner in buildings or
destroying property can be controlled
without a permit, he said. They are classified as fur-bearers, and they can be taken
by hunting or trapping during regular
season.
More about the opossum can be found
on the Kansas Department of Wildlife,
Parks and Tourism website.

GOATS…
FROM PAGE 2
Goats are very sociable and make good
companion animals, Sprague said. The
family also has cattle, including show
animals and a young heifer Sprague will
show at the American Royal, who is particularly fond of two bucks. The goats help
calm the calves, Sprague said.
They do cause trouble, though, let me
tell ya, Sprague said.
Goats are very finicky. Theyll be fine
one second then you turn around and
theyre laying there dead.
Theres a large learning curve to
raising goats, Kendras mother, Stacy
Sprague, said.
The farm is a family affair, and has been
in the Sprague family south of Lone Elm
for nearly 100 years. In addition to Kendra
and her mom, Stacy, the family includes
her father, Joel Sprage; brother, Brock
Peters, 19, who attends Mahanttan Area
Technical College; and sister, Rebecca, 12.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 3-31-2015 / Vickie Moss
A full-blooded Boar kid goes for a scratch at the Sprague family farm. This kid was born
in February. Sprague targets her breeding program so kids are born in January, February
or March, so they will be just the right age for the show season.
