THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Voters interested in a little
political action next week will
need to look south. The only
contested election races on the
April 7 ballot in the immedi-
district that includes the southern communities of Colony,
Kincaid and Lone Elm, nearly
all school board seats up for
election are being challenged
by two people. Incumbent
Tadd Goodell of Colony is the
only person to file for his seat,
Position 2. Otherwise, voters
in the Crest district will have
decisions to make.
Position 1 on the Crest board
has been vacant, but two peo-
A first look at the
ple are vying for the chance
to fill the seat. Pamela Adams
of Kincaid will face off against
Frank Stewart, also of Kincaid.
Two incumbents will face
challengers for their seats.

from Welda, will attempt
to fend off a challenge from
Richard Webber of Colony for
Position 3. Incumbent Terry

Colony.
In the City of Kincaid, two
people are battling it out to
become mayor. Joseph A.
DeTar is challenging Mayor
Brandon Gates for the post.
In addition to the contest for
mayor, voters will need to
decide from among six women
who will fill five city council positions. The candidates
include: Katie Brand, Cristin
Fuller, Judith Lenon, Darlene
Stewart, Joan Stoneking and
Carolyn Whitcomb. Its also
possible a successful write-in
candidate could sneak into the
mix.
Other city councils and the
Garnett City Commission likely will be more easily decided.
In Garnett, Preston Peine is
running unchallenged to keep
his seat. He will be entering his

Anderson
County Hospital CEO Denny
Hachenberg wasnt able to
attend recent hearings on a
legislative proposal to expand
Medicaid in Kansas, but said he
fully supports the measure and
encourages others to speak up
in support as well.
Who can say they dont
want their neighbor to have
health insurance? Hachenberg
said last week, after the legis-
lative hearings. I dont know
how you can stand in the way
of thousands of Kansans having
health care.
A Kansas House committee heard testimony March 18
and 19 for and against a bill
that would clear the way for
Medicaid expansion in Kansas,
but did not advance the bill.
That means the bill essentially
is left in limbo; its possible lawmakers could take it up later in
the session, but many political
watchers predict a grim future
for the idea of Medicaid expansion.

BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Despite concerns
over financing, city leaders
agreed last week to spend
$443,000 for electric system
upgrades that will improve
services to the new Anderson
County Hospital as well as
downtown businesses and
other parts of the city.
Money to pay for the improvements will come from the citys
utility reserve fund, accumulated by surplus customer payments above the systems costs
to pay for more infrastructure
improvements expected over
the next few years. They were
concerned about taking too
much money out of the reserve
fund in the event of an emergency.
The city has been looking
at improvements in its various
infrastructure needs, such as
electric, sewer and water. In
most cases, the systems have
not had major upgrades in
decades. City manager Joyce
Martin pointed to the 2002 ice
storm as the last major improvements to the citys electrical
system. Commissioners recently approved spending $32,500
for an engineering study of the
water plant.
A major electric improvement project will upgrade electric lines and poles from the
citys power plant along Walnut
Street to an alley between
Fourth and Fifth streets and to
the hospital on U.S. 59. It also
would replace various old poles
throughout the city.
Mid-States Energy Works
of Salina will install taller,
stronger poles with more space
between them and a stronger
conductor. Old copper wire
will be replaced with lighter,

ANDERSON COUNTY
COMMISSION MARCH 9
Chairman Jerry Howarter called
the meeting of the Anderson
County Commission to order at
9:00 AM on March 16, 2015 at
the County Commission Room.
Attendance:
Jerry Howarter,
Present: Eugene Highberger,
Present: Leslie McGhee, Present.
The pledge of allegiance was
recited. Minutes of the previous
meeting were approved as presented.
Road and Bridge
Lester Welsh, Road Supervisor
met with the commission. They
started using the belly dump truck
last week. He has also found a
memorandum from 2006 outlining
border street/roads on the edge
of Garnett, listing which ones are
maintained by Garnett and which
ones are maintained by the county.
Solid Waste
Scott
Garrett,
Landfill
Supervisor met with the commission. He has contacted cement
contractors to have them bid on
a parking area and curbing by
the recycling building. Bids were
received from D&S
Construction, Garrison Concrete,
and Todd Adams Concrete.
Commissioner McGhee moved to
approve hiring D&S Construction
to lay a concrete pad and guttering at the recycle center at a cost
of $9,750 out of the Solid Waste
Fund. Commissioner Highberger
seconded. Approved 30.
Commission talked to Scott
about taking one day off of the
time the recycle trailer is at all the
sites in the county and setting it
in the Country Mart parking lot for
Garnett residents. Scott is concerned that residents will be putting trash in the trailer instead of
recycling. He is also short handed
at the moment and it does take
time to move the trailer from site
to site. Discussion was held on
possibly just leaving it for one day
at Country Mart. The commission
approved county wide cleanup
April 13th through the 18th.
Abatements and Escaped Tax
Abatements B15255 through
B15259 and Escaped Tax
E15116 through E15120 were
presented and approved.
Rural Fire
JD Mersman, Emergency
Management Director met with
the commission. Discussion was
held on the firemen being paid
seperately. The departments outside the rural Garnett department
are upset that they are being paid
seperately. They had been being
paid $50 for the department for
each run while the Garnett rural
had been being paid per man. The
outlying departments do not want
to be paid seperatley but they do
not want the Garnett Rural to be
paid seperately. Phyllis reported
that her office has contacted the
auditor and he researched the
situation. It appears that if a county employee is on the volunteer
department they have to be paid.
All other volunteers can either be
paid or not. We do have several
employees who are members of
the fire departments. Commission
is standing by their decision to pay
all volunteers and if they do not
want the money they can sign it
over to the department as a donation. JD reported the Westphalia
department has 10 foot doors on
their station which are too narrow.
JD presented bids to widen the
doors. Commissioner Highberger
moved to hire Chad Ludolph
to widen the doors at a cost of
5×7
ach
$11,959 out of the Rural Fire
Fund. Commissioner McGhee
seconded.
Approved 30.
Discussion was held on the burn
bans. Commission questioned JD
on where he gets his information
when he initiates a burn ban. JD
informed the commission he gets
reports from the national weather
service out of Topeka. JD reported a grant he wants to apply for
to replace radios. Commission
approved checking on the grant.
The vehicle he has been driving
keeps breaking down. He would
like to put a topper on the truck
he used to drive to carry equipment. He would also like to look
into getting another SUV from
the Highway Patrol fleet sales.
Commissioner Highberger moved
to purchase a topper and slide
in unit from Astro for $1750 out
of the Emergency Management
Fund. Commissioner McGhee
seconded. Approved 30.
Veterans Memorial
Commissioner McGhee moved
to appoint Jess Minkler and Kristie
Kinney to the Veterans Memorial
Commmittee.
Commissioner
Highberger seconded. Approved
30.
Meeting adjourned at 12:00 PM
due to no further business.

CEO Denny Hachenberg told
Garnett commissioners at
their regular meeting Tuesday,
March 24..
But commissioners said they
had not yet reviewed the alley
and streets around the hospital
to determine how much damage had been done by heavy
construction equipment needed
to build a new hospital. They
wanted some time to look at the
streets and seek other bids as a
comparison before they agreed
to the hospitals offer.
City
Manager
Joyce
Martin said she and Turner
Construction, which built the
new hospital, each took pictures
of the roads before construction, with an understanding
that they would review damages at the end of the construction
process. She said there was no
agreement as to who would be
responsible for any damage,
but she and other city officials
believe some of the damage to
High Street likely was caused
during the hospitals construction. She said the alley didnt
seem to be in very bad shape.
The city also allowed trucks
to travel on Sixth Avenue, but
commissioners said they have
not yet looked at any of those
streets or the alley.
High Street is in terrible
condition because of all the
trucks going up that road. I
question why it might be all the
citys responsibility to do that,
Martin said.
Hachenberg said the alley
was the citys responsibility,
and the hospital board was simply providing bids so that they
could coordinate the paving
projects. It would look better if
the projects were done together,
he said, plus it could save the
city some money because the
asphalt company would already
be in the vicinity.
Commissioners, however,
wanted to take more time to
review the matter and see if
they could get better bids from a
different company. Martin said
its also important to review
the road structure, because the
type of paving project could
vary depending on the base of
the road. Martin said it could be
more cost effective to repair the
base, if needed, rather than just
overlaying the road with more
asphalt.
The commission likely will
take the matter up again at
their next meeting Tuesday,
April 14.
I know the commission will
be fair, Martin said. We just
wanted a little more time.

Transgender water closets
reveal value of labeling
Among my many blessings I am thankful
God saw fit to make me a single gender
and I thank Him also for making me reasonably certain which one.
I have enough things on my mind and
enough decisions to make and enough
things to try to remember without having
to confront the conundrum of which public
toilet I would use if I was, well, sort of 2 for
the price of 1 if you know what I mean.
But thank goodness the considerate folks
at the University of Kansas are helping the
transgender population with this obvious
dilemma by adding new signage at the
Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. I
have no idea what percentage of the Kansas
population is transgender, but Ill wager
Lawrence bumps the percentage a little for
the rest of us.
The creative new pottie placards at
the facility show a stick figure man as is
standard among public bathrooms for us
pointers, a figure delineating a female in
a dress as is tradition for the sitters, and a
figure wearing… wait for it… half a dress…
for those apparently engaging in the powder
room acrobatics of being somewhere in the
middle.
Text underneath the figures reads All
Gender Restroom. A fourth drawing shows
a person in a wheelchair. Apparently if
youre physically disabled, KU figures
youre already labeled enough regardless
if you think youre a boy in a wheelchair
or a girl in a wheelchair or somewhere in
between… in a wheelchair.
Maybe its the fiscal conservative in me
and the fact that Ive been in the printing
business for nearly 30 years, but Im betting
a sign that simply said Restroom would
have been cheaper, while still exemplifying
the proper functionality, adequate tolerance, inclusion and political correctness
even through its raw simplicity.
Think of a sign that says Restroom as
a minimalist approach to pee-pee.
But such a melba toast example
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
just doesnt fit with the Identification
Generation, as one commenter on the
Lawrence Journal Worlds web account of
the story so aptly put it. How true.
Through our modern popular efforts
to blend our country into one big happy,
de-sexed, de-prejudiced, de-humored,
de-gumptioned family of equality, weve
managed to divide, subdivide and barcode
everyone with a moniker of some sort
from transgender to right-wing to
pundit to illegal immigrant to native
American to evangelical; the obvious
conservative or liberal not to mention
Gay-Straight-Lesbian-Trans-Bi, etc., ad-infinitum. Of course, were never supposed to
use those labels because thats condescending and prejudicial, but we still have to have
them or we just dont know how to decide
who is who and sometimes what.
Indeed, the only label less equal than the
others in our modern society is of course
the Average White Guy, which if seen
graphically represented on a restroom sign
is always recognizable by the two horns
coming from the top of its head.
So send these, your tired, your homeless,
your tempest-tossed to me; well lift our
lamp beside the bathroom door!
Bibi and Barack, continued
Now that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu has raised his thumbs up — which also
is an elevated other finger to U.S. President Barack
Obama — by coming out ahead in Israels Byzantine
election, the obvious question is what does it mean
for Mideast peace? Thats an easy one: Its not going to
happen, certainly not now.
Perhaps its more appropriate to ask what it means
for Mideast war. And that one is a lot dicier. Bibis
explicit declaration that there will not be a Palestinian
state on his watch definitely knocks the legs out from
under any pretense of negotiation versus an eventual
resumption of hostilities. And his open racism against
Arab Israelis to get out the bigot vote certainly will
not endear him to the other side.
Of course, like treacherous politicians in this
country, once elected, he immediately walked back
on his no-Palestinian-state pledge in various U.S. TV
interviews. Thats a nice way of saying hes breaking his demagogic promise now that he got elected.
President Obama isnt buying it, saying his administration will re-evaluate its diplomatic policy of blindly
protecting Israel. So the damage is done.
As for any deal Obama and his European counterparts reach with Iran aimed at slowing and eventually
stopping that countrys race to become a nuclear state,
A Diplomatic Revolution
The socialist government in France usually doesnt have much in common with
congressional Republicans, for whom both
France and socialism tend to be anathema.
But the French, according to a Wall Street
Journal report, are taking the toughest line
among the powers negotiating with Iran over
its nuclear program and are alarmed by
the Obama administrations accommodating
approach.
Some U.S. officials, the Journal writes,
privately believe France is seeking in part
to maintain strong ties to Israel and to Arab
countries deeply skeptical of Washingtons
outreach to Tehran.
The Iran deal will nullify the half-dozen
U.N. resolutions calling on Iran to halt all
uranium enrichment, at the same time the
administration is floating the idea of going
along with a new effort to isolate Israel at the
U.N., in effect for the offense of re-electing
Bibi Netanyahu.
There are barely words for the perversity
of this turnabout. It would be a step toward
normalizing a rogue state and making a
rogue state out of a normal country. It would
be a rapprochement with a sworn enemy
and a breach with a tried-and-true friend. It
would be a diplomatic revolution in keeping
with President Barack Obamas purported
realism that has little regard for either our
deepest-held values or coldblooded interests.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
In a Huffington Post interview, President
Obama warned that the Israeli-Palestinian
status quo is not a recipe for stability in
the region. What stability? The IsraeliPalestinian conflict manifestly has nothing
to do with the collapse of Syria into a catastrophic civil war, or with ISIS establishing
control over a swath of territory in Iraq and
Syria, or Yemen descending into chaos.
Israel holds free-and-fair elections in which
Arabs can freely vote, even if Netanyahu
made an ill-advised election-day comment
about them; in country after country, Sunni
and Shia forces kill and maim one another in
a vicious fight for dominance by force. Israel
builds settlements (mostly in areas that will
stay part of Israel in any peace deal); Bashar
al-Assad drops cluster bombs on people, and
has reportedly returned to using chemical
weapons.
It doesnt take great discernment to see the
differences. It takes only a modicum of perspective, which President Obama cant muster as he sets about engineering a rupture
with our only democratic ally in the Middle
East.
Obama is often accused of amateurism
and drift in his foreign policy. In a compelling essay in the online publication Mosaic,
Michael Doran argues that the president has
always had a strategic vision, with an opening to Iran at its heart.
This explains, Doran contends, the presidents muted response to the 2009 democratic
protests in Iran; his willingness to allow Iran
to take a large hand in the Syrian civil war
and hesitance to arm and train moderate
Syrian rebels; his gift of sanctions relief to
the Iranians, as well as major concessions in
the ongoing negotiations; and his accommodation of a heavy military role for Iran in the
fight against ISIS in Iraq.
The public campaign against the leader of
Israel fits with the overall scheme. It is a testament to the folly and radicalism of this project that even the French have misgivings.

NATIONAL COMMENTARY
BOB FRANKEN, King Features Syndicate
Netanyahu certainly is emboldened by his obstructionist success to continue his saber rattling (and maybe
saber using) if a deal is actually achieved — a big if,
by the way.
In Washington, the Likud West party members, also
known as the Republicans, are celebrating, as their
guy in Jerusalem was elected due in no small measure
to his rousing appearance before the U.S. Knesset
— oh, excuse me, Congress. Apparently, that not only
achieved a campaign boost for him, but also one for
them in their campaign to totally discredit the president of the United States.
Of course, Likud West has gone on to bigger things
with that letter signed by 47 of its senators basically
telling the Iranians that any deal they strike with Mr.
Obama wont be worth the paper its written on when
he departs the White House two years hence.
Their plan goes kablooie, of course, if Hillary Clinton
succeeds the Obama administration. Presumably,
shed inform the other powers that she and her team
would continue to stick with the agreement.
But for now the spotlight is on Israel and a backtracking but re-elected Bibi. Although I share the
opinion that we have a strategic, and more importantly, moral obligation to protect Israel, we also have a
similar interest in trying to tamp down the tensions in
that incredibly volatile part of the world and resist the
excesses from all sides, including the Israel hard-liners.
Netanyahu will have to deal with Barack Obama for
the rest of the Obama term. A lot can happen in two
years.
ELECTRIC…
FROM PAGE 1A
A new circuit will provide a dedicated power
source to the hospital. In addition to avoiding
major disruptions in power and improving safety, the new system will be more efficient, city
staff said. City crews have spent the past few
months preparing for the new power poles by
removing many large trees along Walnut Street.
The city is purchasing much of the materials
and equipment, such as power poles and new
cross arms. City crews can complete underground work from the power plant to the point
of connection on Walnut Street. But they needed
to send much of the project, for the electric line
extension, out for bids.
Two bids were received, one from Capital
Electric of Kansas City, Mo., and one from an
Illinois company. The low bid from Capital
Electric for $242,000, was accepted. Combined
with the citys other costs, the total expense will
be about $443,000. The Illinois companys bid was
about $100,000 more than Capital Electric.
Martin said she suggested city commissioners
consider general obligation bonds to pay for all
of the infrastructure projects once a total cost
is known in order not to drain reserves. Money
for the bonds can be repaid using reserve funds,
she said, but it would allow smaller amounts
to be taken out of reserves over time. The city
has a Triple A bond rating, so they likely would
receive a good interest rate.
Mayor Preston Peine said he was concerned
about taking such a large amount of money out
of the citys reserve fund.
We cant leave ourselves in a situation where
we could not handle an emergency, Peine said.
Thats a huge chunk of change and I dont
know whats to come (with other infrastructure
needs). Are we ready to pull the trigger on this
not knowing whats to come on these other projects?
Martin said it was important to proceed in
order to provide efficient electrical services to
the new hospital. She said the rest could be
worked out over time.

Around 8:30am I was invited
in for a morning cup of coffee
with John & Brenda. It wasnt
very long before their daughter Joan arrived and we were
soon on the road for the day.
The morning was spent touring several historical sites in
the area before returning to
our original worksite.
Our first stop was at the
site where an old trading sat
once upon a time. Today this
field is planted to wheat, so
no metal detecting, digging,
etc. In fact it was very hard
to conduct a decent walking
sight survey because of the
wheat ground coverage.
Our next stop was at the

location of the large sandstone block inscribed with
the date 1541 ( this was during
the time of Coronados adventure through Kansas). I did
scan this area with my metal
detector and the only artifact
found was, a section of an old
wagon or stage wheel axle
hub.
The old sandstone barn
was our final stop of the
morning. On one of the
blocks is inscribed the date of
1876, however, the 7 is backwards. This was an early
Spanish custom, putting the
third number of dates this
way. It is a beautiful struc-
ture still standing.
After eating our lunch in the
field, we returned to our original working site. I continued
with metal detecting surveys
until 3:00 pm. Artifacts found
were more square nails,
two more clout nails, wagon
straps and the best find of the
trip a very old brass domed
button decorated with beautiful flowers and had a soldered on wire hook/eye on
the back. Is it Spanish?
At 3:15 pm we gathered up
all our equipment,loaded up
everything and said our goodbyes Another project had
come to an end, or at least
for now.
I arrived back home at
5:15pm, leaving all the artifacts found behind, but bringing three souveniers of the
trip along with me. Lifting
my sweatshirt up, there they
were, all lined up in a row
across my waistline. Yes,
youre right, three ticks!
Thats all a part of archaeology too!

When Helen Watt arrived at
Mont Ida Elementary School
one day in early March, she was
well prepared to begin another

wasnt prepared for what she
saw when she got out of her car:

The eagle probably was one of

Members of the Garnett
Library Board got a cool reception Tuesday night when they
requested city commissioners expand the boards taxing
authority by two mills with the
aim of increasing the librarys
budget. The increase would
give the library authority to
raise about another $30,000.
Commissioner Jim Shmidl
noted that it was not a good
time to ask for additional funds,
considering the budget crunch
besetting the city due to reduction in interest paid on idle
funds and the fact that commissioners are discussing asking
voters for a sales tax increase
for the citys general fund sometime before the summer budgeting period for 2006.

EXPANSION…
FROM PAGE 1A
cials to apply for a federal
waiver that would give Kansas
flexibility to work with the private sector to expand Medicaid,
a health insurance program for
the poor. In return, the federal government would provide
about $5.3 billion federal funding to Kansas over 10 years to
help pay for the increased costs
of such an expansion. A report
from the Urban Institute found
it would cost Kansas about $525
million over 10 years to expand
Medicaid to cover about 150,000
more poor people; however a
state official pegged those costs
at $2.4 billion. Conservatives
led by Brownback have balked
at the expansion, due both to
the costs and in protest to what
they see as the federal governments intrusion in state health
programs through Obamacare.
Currently, most able-bodied
adults without children cannot
qualify for Medicaid. Adults
with children are eligible only
if they earn less than 32 percent
of the poverty level annually
about $3,730 for an individual
and $7,630 for a family of four.
The expansion would help
adults who earn up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level
annually about $16,100 for an
individual and $32,900 for a family of four purchase subsidized
private coverage. It likely would
add more than 150,000 adults
who do not otherwise qualify for
or cannot afford health insurance. About half of those people
earn too little to qualify for subsidies to help pay for insurance
under Obamacare. Those people
fall into whats called a coverage gap.
Health officials throughout
the state, including Hachenberg
and the Kansas Hospital
Association, have urged lawmakers to expand Medicaid.
But because the expansion is
tied to Obamacare, many conservative Republican lawmakers do not want to support it.
They say they are concerned
the federal government could
reduce funding in the future,
leaving states holding the bag
for the extra costs. The federal
government will fully fund the
first three years of the program
Kansas already has missed
the first two years and will
gradually decrease funding to
90 percent by 2020.
Critics also say some 90 million people nationwide would
drop private insurance coverage they presently pay for
to be added to state Medicaid
rolls if all states adopted the
expansion plan according to
Obamacare.
Obamacare also was funded with portions of Medicare
funding, which has reduced
reimbursements to hospitals
for formerly Medicare-eligible
services to the elderly.
Kansas hospitals say they
are losing out on reimbursements, which were supposed
to have been offset by more
patients being insured through
Medicaid and the insurance
exchanges.
Hachenberg said most
Kansas taxpayers dont realize
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 31, 2015
LOCAL
Boy Scouting Texas Style
they have been paying taxes
to support expansions in other
states, like California or New
York, without getting any of
that money back. The Kansas
Hospital Association estimates
Kansas will have lost $355 million in federal money by the
end of 2015 money that will
go to other states. By supporting the expansion, some of that
tax money can be returned to
Kansas, Hachenberg said.
Weve given up a lot of dollars. We sent back the money
to make our own exchange,
Hachenberg said. The only
objection I hear now is the
government isnt going to keep
their promises (to fund the program). Well, if they dont keep
their promises, then we wont
have a program.
Hachenberg complained
that political wrangling was
keeping people from access to
health insurance, and putting
the financial burden on hospitals. Hospitals often are stuck
with the bill when someone who
cant afford health care comes
into the emergency room for
medical treatment. The Kansas
Hospital Association reported
the impact of uncompensated, or charity, care would cost
Kansas hospitals $1.17 billion
over the next 10 years without
the Medicaid expansion, compared to a loss of $780 million
with the expansion.
Hachenberg said most of the
testimony in Topeka against
the expansion came from political groups outside the state,
such as the Americans for
Prosperity, a group with ties to
Koch Industries, which organized the opposition to the bill.
Its
pure
politics,
Hachenberg said. Youre
seeing a grassroots swell of
support for this. People are
starting to understand this is
something we need to be doing
for the people of Kansas. Its
our responsibility to bring this
(need for expansion) up, but its
the responsibility of the legislators to serve the citizens.

The highly anticipated sequel
to the New York Times bestselling novel The Rosie Project,
starring the same extraordinary
couple now living in New York
and unexpectedly expecting
their first child. Get ready to fall
in love all over again.
Don Tillman and Rosie
Jarman are back. The Wife
Project is complete, and Don and
Rosie are happily married and
living in New York. But theyre
about to face a new challenge
because surprise!Rosie is
pregnant.
Don sets about learning the
protocols of becoming a father,
but his unusual research style
gets him into trouble with the
law. Fortunately his best friend
Gene is on hand to offer advice:
hes left Claudia and moved in
with Don and Rosie.
As Don tries to schedule time
for pregnancy research, getting
Gene and Claudia to reconcile,
servicing the industrial refrigeration unit that occupies half
his apartment, helping Dave the
Baseball Fan save his business,
and staying on the right side
of Lydia the social worker, he
almost misses the biggest problem of all: he might lose Rosie
when she needs him the most.
Graeme Simsion first introduced these unforgettable characters in The Rosie Project,
which NPR called sparkling
entertainment along the lines
of Whered You Go Bernadette
and When Harry Met Sally.
The San Francisco Chronicle
said, sometimes you just need a
smart love story that will make
anyone, man or woman, laugh
out loud. If you were swept
away by the book thats captivated a million readers worldwide, you will love The Rosie
Effect.
The books are available for
checkout at the library. The
discussions are held the fourth
Wednesday of each month at 7
p.m. in the Archer Room at the
library. Notification is posted in
case of cancellation.

Dont forget your
umbrella question
At my weekly newspaper in
Kansas, Ive always coached
my staff whether reporters,
advertising sales people or
front office workers to try to
open customers and readers up
with an umbrella question as
youre talking face to face or
even on the phone.
They call it an umbrella question because its an opportunity for your customer to open
up and tell you something you
might not otherwise get to find
out sort of a no holds barred
on the conversation that can
lead you to more information.
Obviously thats an important tool for story-seeking news
reporters in dealing with sources on their regular beats or
anywhere else for that matter,
which is why I always harp
about it. You never know what
grocery store checker, secretary, janitor, cop or school kid
may have a story tip or a sales
opportunity you can use and
not even know it. So you have
to invite him/her to talk with
your umbrella question then
keep your mouth shut and listen.
As youre selling products
or services in your small business, a potential customer can
oftentimes be more effective at
convincing herself to buy from
you than you can be in convincing her. If she doesnt, she
may give you tons of additional
sales leads or referrals or other
important information if you
just use an umbrella question.
Here are some examples:
1) Priority: Whats the most

important, or perhaps speed, or
costs of consumables. Different
customers have different needs
and helping them assess their
priorities makes a sale thats
better for them and for you.
2) Explanation: Can you
explain that to me so I can
understand better? Getting a
better feel for a customers process or methods lets you better
use your perspective as someone who knows your product or
service best.
3) Examples: What are some
examples you can give me?
Its similar to the explanation
question above and is a natural follow up. You may learn
completely new aspects of your
product or service depending
on how your customers are
using it or have used it in the
past, and thats vital information for you to know in future
sales.
Opening up dialogue like
this helps your customer analyze his/her own needs and situation and it can be a treasure
trove of education for you in
your quest to sell stuff.

Human mercy is proof of
having received divine mercy
In Matthew 18:23-35 we read
the story of the unmerciful servant. Peter has asked Jesus how
many times he must forgive his
brother when he sinned against
him. Jesus then relates the parable of the unmerciful servant
as follows.
The kingdom of heaven is
like a king who wanted to settle
accounts with his servants. A
servant owed the king a very
large sum of money. When the
servant was not able to pay the
king ordered that the servant
and his wife and children and
all that they had be sold. The
servant fell on his knees and
begged the king to be patient
and he would repay the debt.
The king took pity on him and
canceled the debt completely
and let him go.
The man who had just had
his debt forgiven found a servant who owed him a small sum
of money. He began to choke
the servant demanding that
his debt be paid. The servant
fell to his knees and begged for
patience until he could repay
the debt. But the man refused
and had the servant thrown in
prison.
When the other servants saw
what had happened they went
and told the king. The king
then called the servant in and
said. You wicked servant I
canceled all that debt of yours
because you begged me to.
Shouldnt you have mercy on
your fellow servant just as I had
on you?
In anger the king turned him
over to the jailer to be tortured,
until he should pay back all he
owed.
Jesus then states, This is
how my heavenly Father will
LOCAL
WEEKLY
DEVOTIONAL
By David Bilderback
treat each of you unless you
forgive your brother from your
heart.
The point that Jesus is making is that judgment without
mercy will be shown to anyone
who has not been merciful. The
king was merciful to the servant but the servant was not
merciful to his fellow servant.
The failure of the servant to forgive his servant is an indication
that he had not entered into the
mercy that was offered to him
in Christ.
Dr. Alistair Begg sums
this up very well as follows.
Human mercy is proof of
having received divine mercy.
When we learn to live in obedience to Gods word we will deal
with others as God has dealt
with us.
We will never know how
much punishment God has
withheld from us. But we can
be sure it is not deserved. Gods
mercy is selective.
In Exodus 33:19 the LORD
says to Moses, I will have
mercy on whom I will have
mercy.
I firmly believe we will
receive divine mercy in relation to the human mercy we
display.

on the Holiness of God.

Ethanol production adds value to Kansas agriculture
When people hear the word ethanol they immediately think of the
cost-saving fuel, but what is commonly overlooked are the farm
benefits of ethanol production.
Here in East Kansas Agri-Energy
(EKAE) we celebrate and value
our local farmers and want to see
a healthy and thriving agriculture
sector for years to come.
In order to ensure this future,
we must continue to support the
Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), a
revolutionary energy program that
increases the amount of biofuels
oil companies blend in Americas
gasoline supply and provides a value-added market for local farmers.
The RFS has revitalized rural
America and helped decrease the
need for crop programs and federal assistance. Before the RFS,
corn prices stood below the cost
of production leaving rural economies reeling and dependent upon
ever-rising federal government
payments. Once the RFS passed,
increased demand balanced the
market, providing a fair price for
farmers while reducing the need
for taxpayer subsidies.
The production of ethanol adds
value to the locally-produced farm
products that enter an ethanol

plant. In fact, every $1.00 worth of
feedstock that enters our facility
here at EKAE ultimately results
in $1.83 worth of high-quality fuel
ethanol and high-protein livestock
feed. EKAE also produces corn distillers oil which it plans to make
into renewable diesel, producing
even more value from the same
input.
Ethanol production also helps
livestock farmers by producing
a co-product known as distillers
dried grain with solubles (DDGS).
DDGS is a much sought after animal feed for cattle, swine, and poultry. In fact, every American would
be able to consume one chicken
breast every day for a year if the 39
million metric tons of DDGS were

exclusively used by U.S. poultry
producers.
The impact of an ethanol facility
is felt throughout the community. The tax revenue that comes
from an ethanol plant may be used
to help schools or repair roads.
The jobs created provide income
for local residents, stimulate the
economy, and keep young people
from moving out of the community to find work. The ethanol produced helps lower gasoline costs
and reduce GHG emissions. All of
these benefits stem from the RFS.
Unfortunately, the RFS is under
attack because it is taking away
from the petroleum industrys
monopoly. For oil companies,
blending more ethanol ultimately
means using less gasoline. While
blending high-octane, low-cost
maintenance, to general purpose needs.

ethanol into gasoline is good for
consumers, it means oil companies sell less oil which cuts into
their profits. Consequently, the oil
industry wants to do away with
the program. But, if America
gives in to the strong arm tactics of the petroleum industry, all
the environmental, economic, and
agricultural steps forward will
be reversed, leaving America in
a dark place of fracking and oil

KINCAID Jessie, an Australian shepherd, seems to know exactly where her
owner wants cattle to go. She chases
behind them, close at their heels, guiding
them through the pasture until they reach
the destination.
For most cattle dogs, it takes a combination of instinct and training to know
how to drive the cattle. Jessie, however,
is a bit unusual. Shes had a little training
from her owners, but mostly relies on
instinct and the bond she has developed
with owner Travis Vermillion of Kincaid.
Travis met Jessie through his girlfriend, Dawn, who would later become his
wife. Dawn, who had owned the dog since
she was a pup, left Jessie with Travis for
a week while she went on a business trip.
By the time she came back, the two had
bonded. In some ways, Jessie became
more Travis dog. They were nearly inseparable.
Ive always heard a dog will choose
its owner and thats what she did, Travis
said.
When the couple married, 2-year-old
Jessie helped walk Dawn down the isle
and laid down behind the couple as they
said their vows. They had become a family. Then Jessie got a job and went to work
with Travis whenever he needed her.
Travis had always wanted a dog that
could work cattle, and had owned a couple
of border collies in the past. But he didnt
have the time to properly teach them.
It takes a lot of time to train them,
Dawn Vermillion said. Ive never seen
a dog have such instinct and tenderness,
even without any formal training. Its like
having another person out there.
With Jessie, though, it was easy. The
combination of instinct, minimal training
from Travis and the bond between them
worked.
Like many working cattle dogs, Jessie
knows how to help Travis keep the cows
moving where he wants them. She chases
after cows that stray from the pack, or she
keeps a cow from moving into an area that
is off-limits. Herding cattle is fluid, with
many direction changes. A word or arm
motion from Travis, and Jessie immediately changes direction. When Travis
feeds hay to the cattle, she keeps them

away from Travis and the truck.
If Travis sees a potential safety hazard,
he tells Jessie to leave the field and she
obeys without hesitation.
She knows where cattle belong, and
shes wants to put them there, Travis
said.
Jessie is a heeling dog, rather than a
heading dog. Heeling dogs work cattle
from behind, essentially pushing them in
the direction they want them to go, and
some dogs will nip at a cows heels to keep
it moving. Heading dogs typically work
the other end, anticipating the animals
next moves and heading them off to
keep them in line.
But Jessie also has a lot of mothering
instinct in her and is very protective of

Farm Bill: Update records, learn about new programs
MANHATTAN The long-awaited
Agricultural Act of 2014, otherwise
known as the farm bill, signed into law
on Feb. 7 ends direct payments to farmers but still provides some safety net
programs and thats just for starters.
This new five-year legislation means
the beginning of several new programs
for agricultural producers, said Kansas
State University agricultural economist
Art Barnaby. It also means the end of
some familiar programs, including SURE
(Supplemental Revenue Assistance) and
ACRE (Average Crop Revenue Election).
While the new legislation does away
with direct payments, it includes two
new safety net programs, Agriculture
Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage,
designed to help farmers when crop prices or revenue are low. Producers will
have to make a one-time irrevocable
decision this year to select one of the two
programs. If they do not choose, the PLC
is the default option and they would give
up any 2014 payment.
The two programs are separate from
traditional crop insurance programs,
which remain largely unchanged, but
with some significant improvements,
Barnaby said.
Improvements include separate enterprise units for irrigated versus dryland
agriculture and farmers may select
different coverage levels for a dryland
enterprise unit versus an irrigated enterprise unit on the same crop. If the county
suffers a 50-percent yield loss, then farm-
ers in that county and contiguous counties are allowed to exclude that low yield
out of their actual production history
and avoid a reduction in their APH.
Agriculture Risk Coverage This
new program covers what farmers would
lose before their regular crop insurance
kicks in. It provides protection when
crop revenue falls just 14 percent below
a five-year rolling Olympic average
benchmark. A farmer chooses whether
the benchmark is based on county yield
times crop year average prices or his
or her individual crop yield times the
price. The county payment is based on 85
percent of the farmers base acres, but if
they elect individual coverage they must
enroll all crops in to ARC and payments
are made on 65 percent of base acres.
If producers think prices will trend at
or near current levels over the next five
years, Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC)
is more likely to pay because the fiveyear Olympic market average price for
many crops are above current prices, he
said. But producers can only collect 10
percent of their coverage under the ARC
program, and lower prices will cause the
Olympic average price to decline over
the life of the ARC program.
Olympic averages are found by removing the high and low price before calculating the average of the remaining
prices.
Price Loss Coverage In the PLC
program, farmers will receive payments
if the crop price falls below certain tar-

get or reference prices. The USDA has
set a $5.50-per-bushel reference price on
wheat, for example, Barnaby said. If the
cash wheat price falls below $5.50, farmers will be paid the difference between
$5.50 and the lower price times their
updated program yield times 85 percent
of their base acres. Reference prices set
as part of the new legislation for some
other commodities (per bushel) include
$3.70 for corn; $3.95 for grain sorghum;
$8.40 for soybeans; $2.40 for oats; and
$4.95 for oats.
The (PLC) potentially has the bigger
payout, but is less likely to happen than
an ARC payment, he said. If prices stay
above the reference price, the PLC program will not make payments to farmers.
Farmers who select PLC will be eligible for the Supplemental Coverage
Option, as well, although that program
will not be available until the 2015 crop
year because the crop insurance contract
change date has passed for 2014. Because
it is insurance, it will follow insurance
rules and payments will be based on
county yields and insurance prices. It
will cover a share of a farmers deductible in their farm level crop insurance,
there is no payment limit, and the payments cannot be sequestered. SCO payments will be made six months earlier
than ARC or PLC payments, but farmers
must pay 35 percent of the SCO premium
costs.
Producers dont have to make decisions right away, but now would be
a good time for them to gather their
records together. Theyll need acreage
and yield data to update their information because many farmers will want to
reallocate their base acres and update
their program yields when they sign up,
Barnaby said. He expects updating base
acres will increase feedgrain base acres
and reduce wheat base acres; in both
Kansas and at the national level.
A lot of farmers will benefit from
updating their program yields because
their production has increased from
yields used to set those program yields
many years ago, he said.
USDA on Friday morning, March 27,
said farmers will have until April 7
about an extra week-and-a-half to sign
up for PLC and ARC farm safety net programs authorized under the 2014 Farm
Bill.
New programs available under the
new legislation include the Stacked
Income Protection Plan (STAX) for cotton and a new program for dairy producers.
Total commodity support program
payments under the new farm bill (independent from crop insurance payments)
will be limited to $125,000 per individual
or $250,000 per couple.

her family, Dawn said. She isnt allowed to work
cattle when Travis tags calves because she worries too much about the baby calves. She wont
leave the side of a baby calf separated from its
mother. She has taken care of a kitten and a
weak baby calf the family had to bring inside
when the mother couldnt take care of it. Travis
and Dawn worried how she would react when
they had babies of their own, but she proved to
be a loving family dog once she realized the children were not temporary visitors.
Jessie travels with Travis for errands, and
they are known around town. She also goes
to cattle shows with the family, and strangers
always comment on her unusual coloring. But
whenever it is time to move cattle, she goes to
work.
As a contributing member of the family,
Jessie gets special perks the familys other dogs
dont receive. She has a special place by the bed,
and goes nearly everywhere with the family.
They have at times carried pet insurance on
Jessie to offset expensive medical bills if she
were to get hurt on the job.
Jessie is 10 years old now, and starting to
show just a few signs of her age, like a little
arthritis. Despite those problems, she still wants
to work whenever she can. Travis and Dawn
dont like to think about what theyll do when
she passes on, although they would like to have
another working cattle dog at some point. Dawn
said she would like to have a working Corgi,
which is one of many cattle dog breeds, and is
considering having the familys pet Corgi formally trained.
Even so, they know theyll never have another
dog like Jessie.
Shes not the typical Aussie, Dawn said.
Shes mellow and low-key. She wants to be with
us, and she wants to work. She loves to work.

Prairie fire
The smell and sight of spring burning
on the Flint Hills evoked this childhood
memory.
It started with a spark on a rail that
jumped into the dry, spring prairie and
ignited. Within seconds the southerly
wind whipped the fire across the pasture
toward our small, rural school.
The culprit was an old black steam
engine from the Union Pacific railway
that lurched and pulled boxcars filled
with wheat across the flat short-grass
prairie. It was one of those giant puffing behemoths complete with pistons and
huge driving wheels.
The year was 1959. The place Seguin,
Kan., population 50 counting three dogs
and two cats.
I attended grade school in that tworoom structure and while I enjoyed class
as much as any of my schoolmates, these
prairie fires were legendary. Such an
event provided us the opportunity to
miss class, abandon our schoolhouse and
watch the approaching fire under Gods
grandest cathedral the big-sky country
of northwestern Kansas.
Inside our school, Sister Helena Marie
lined us up to march onto the road and
away from the fire. Outside, we could hear
the crackling fire as it licked up the tinderbox-dry grass. The flames raced along
the ground a good foot tall. The smoke
trailed into the blue sky, and looked like
it might block out the sun.
As the hypnotic orange flames raced
toward school, we all talked about how
close the fire might come, would it burn
our school down and where would we go
then?
For our dads, fighting these fires was
something completely different. Such
fires threatened to burn a neighbors
home to the ground, destroy a farmstead
or even take a life.
Our small rural community did not
have a fire department, fire truck or any
other firefighting equipment. When prairie fires occurred, my dad and his farmer
neighbors jumped off their tractors and
into their pickups and headed for the
smoke. One of them always had a water
tank in the back; others brought gunny
sacks that they soaked with water. Then
they ran out onto the prairie to fight the
fire.
This wasnt the first time dad and his

farmer neighbors wielded their makeshift
fighting tools. Steam engines, dry buffalo
grass and strong winds often provided
the possibility of such prairie fires. These
western Kansas farmers had plenty of
experience fighting the flames.
None of my friends or I had a watch at
the time, but I figure it took our dads close
to an hour to finally beat every last flame
into submission.
As they walked back to their pickups,
their gait was slow. Soot covered their
faces, hands and clothing. They all wore
smiles.
Theyd stopped the fire. This battle
went to the farmers.
We all cheered and like newborn spring
calves, threatened to run to our parents.
Sister Helena Marie would not hear of it.
Back into the school house, she
ordered.
As I recall this happened about midafternoon and until the brass school bell
rang dismissing us for the day, I spent
the rest of that day fighting the fire in
my mind. Most of my classmates did the
same.
After we bounded down the steps and
hit the ground outside the school, Albert
Rall; my brother, Steve; and I ran to the
edge of the burned prairie southwest of
the building.
Here we surveyed the burned pasture
stretching nearly a half-mile in front of
us. As we walked our shoes turned black
as burnt grass crunched under our feet.
A couple of the posts that supported the
barbed wire fence bordering the school
property were charred and cracked.
and bolted back up the stairs to our desks.
Once seated, each of us took out our books
and started writing inside the front covers, In case of fire, throw this in. That
was directly under the already written
words, In God we trust. In school we
rust.
Our nostrils filled with the smoky particles covering the blackened landscape.
The three of us walked back toward the
schoolhouse. Once we came to the edge of
the fire burn, we all three stepped off the
distance from there to school.
The distance was approximately 40
yards or about 55 steps for an 11-year-old.
The fire had come so close this time. If our
dads had arrived a few minutes later, our
school might have burnt to the ground.
We all breathed a sigh of relief. We
were thankful, but no one said a word.
Laughing, we raced around the school

Poultry owners should watch for signs of avian influenza
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Poultry owners
should be aware that there is currently an
outbreak of the H5N2 highly pathogenic
avian influenza (HPAI) associated with
the migratory bird flyways in the United
States, said Kansas State University animal scientist Scott Beyer.
The first problems were observed
with small poultry flocks on the upper
west coast, which were soon followed
by infections on larger commercial poultry farms on the southern west coast.
Recently, infections have occurred in the
central flyway, a migratory route which
encompasses three provinces in Canada
and 14 U.S. states, including Minnesota,
Missouri and Arkansas, where the disease has been confirmed in turkey flocks.
Migratory fowl move north and south
all over the earth through flyways as they
move from nesting and feeding grounds,
said Beyer, who is a poultry specialist
with K-State Research and Extension.
When they comingle in these areas, the
avian influenza virus can sometimes be
shared between the birds, which then
return to their respective flyways bringing new variants of the virus which may
have originated from other continents.
Although this particular variant of the
avian virus (H5N2) is more pathogenic
than others, there have been no incidences of the virus spreading to other species
or people. As is often the case, this virus
has so far not been associated with actual
disease symptoms in the migratory fowl
so they should be considered potential
carriers of the virus that is pathogenic to
domesticated poultry.
The safety of poultry meat and eggs is
not an issue, Beyer said. This variant is
the H5N2 strain of avian influenza and
although it is harmful to birds, it has not
been associated with a threat to people or
the food supply. The commercial poultry
industry in the U.S. routinely screens for
all types of the avian flu in flocks and any
positive flocks, even those with variants
that are not harmful to birds or people,
are not processed for food.
U.S. poultry industry routinely monitors
for diseases
Since viruses continually change form
to avoid an animals immune system, the
U.S. poultry industry does not allow any
form of the virus to persist in commercial
flocks unlike some other countries which
allow the non-pathogenic viruses to persist in their flocks, he said. This reduces
the risk of any virus from becoming more
pathogenic thus harming birds and people or affecting our food supply.
Small poultry flocks, gamebirds enterprises and commercial farms should be
wary of potential exposure. Because it
is thought that the virus has originated
from migratory waterfowl as they move
through their flyway, keeping them away
from domestic poultry is most important.
Many of these waterfowl likely visit local
ponds for rest and feeding.
If you have poultry near these ponds,
you must eliminate all contact between
them and your birds, Beyer said. This
is especially important if you have your
own waterfowl which could infect your
poultry flock, but could also remain on
the pond as other wild migratory birds
stop by and then become infected by your
birds.
When these migratory birds feed in
crop residues and farm ponds, they leave
pens could drop fecal matter and feather
dander directly into the pens. Efforts to
reduce anything that attracts feeding and
movement of these birds around pens
should be implemented. Nets should be
repaired to prevent birds and animals
from entering as much as possible.
Starlings and sparrows should be
considered vectors as well, at least until
proven otherwise, Beyer said. With the
spring season now here in Kansas, these
birds are looking for nesting and feeding
behind feathers and fecal matter that
could carry the virus. Keeping yourself
and pets away from these areas is crucial
to reduce the chance of carrying the virus
into your facilities, the K-State specialist
said. Do what you can to encourage these
birds to move away from your facilities
so that you widen the clean zone around
your farm as much as possible.
Gamebird operations with birds in
netted flight pens are more vulnerable
because migratory birds flying over

areas and may be persistent in trying
to enter your facilities. Nests should be
removed as they try to build them and
you should work to keep them from entering as much as possible. Clean up all
spilled feed indoors and out so they are
not attracted. Move or eliminate bird feeders away from domestic poultry areas.
Netting areas where they like to nest will
also discourage them. If you have roosting

Meat and poultry recalls: What food firms, investors should know
MANHATTAN Food safety is top-ofmind among many consumers and producers of food. It is also a continuum,
because the more a food firm spends on
effective technologies and protocols to
ensure safe food, the greater chance the
foods are protected against contamination.
Despite a blanketed desire to keep
foods safe, eventually food firms reach a
price pointa limit they can spend feasibly to ensure staying in business and giving consumers an affordable product, said
Ted Schroeder, professor of agricultural
economics at Kansas State University.
The more a company knows about
the anticipated impact of a recall event,
the better it can make a decision about
adopting new food safety protocols, new
technologies or new surveillance methods
to reduce the probability of a food safety
breach, Schroeder said.
Schroeder, along with Veronica Pozo,
assistant professor of applied economics
at Utah State University, recently found
that when food firms face a meat or poultry recall, several factors determine how
that recall affects the firms bottom line.
The most impactful factor is the class of
the recall, which determines if a severe
human health hazard is involved. Other
factors include the size of the recall, size
of the firm, if the firm has prior experience dealing with a recent recall and the
media coverage surrounding the event.
A close look at publicly traded food
firms
The researchers examined meat and
poultry recalls that took place between
1994 and 2013, based on availability of
recall data from the U.S. Department of
Agricultures Food Safety and Inspection
Service (FSIS). The FSIS showed more
than 1,200 meat and poultry recalls happened during that time, and 163 of those
recalls came from 31 different publicly
traded firms.
Although 163 of more than 1,200 recalls
may seem like a small number, publicly
traded firms showed almost half of the
total meat and poultry products recalled,
said Pozo, who was a K-State doctoral student when the research was conducted.
In fact, 277 million out of 638 million total
recalled pounds, or 43 percent, came from
publicly traded firms.
Although its difficult to obtain financial data from firms and measure total
direct costs and losses of revenue from a
recall, price reactions in the stock market
surrounding a recall event tend to indi-

rectly reflect all the private costs, Pozo
said.
Some recalls would have gotten out
to the consumer, and some would not
have, she said. Regardless, calculating
the actual physical cost of a recall can be
quite daunting. You have to track volume
of product, determine if the product was
disposed of or the firm got an alternative
value for it, and the cost of all people
involved, including sales losses and liability costs.
Our claim is all private costscosts
the company itself ends up realizingwill
ultimately be reflected in the stock price
through the value of the firm, Schroeder
said. The stock market is efficient, meaning it rapidly incorporates information
and embeds it into the stock values. It is
a widely accepted method for evaluating
event studies.
What the stock price does ignore is public costs, he said. For example, if someone
gets sick from a recall and it never resonates back to the firm, someone else likely
paid for that. It wouldnt necessarily show
up in the stock price.
Our goal was to look at individual, private firm costs, because if Im a company
thats in the food processing or merchandising segment, I need to have a sense of
what the impact of these (recall) events
can be on my company, Pozo said. If
we show firms how costly a recall can
be, then they will be able to conduct a
cost-benefit analysis to decide if its worth
it to implement additional (food safety)
technologies.
In addition, Pozo said the study shows
investors the importance of finding out
more about a firms food safety protocols.
Ive seen publicly traded companies
that went bankrupt after one recall,
she said. And although companies do
as much as they can to avoid these types
of events, food safety outbreaks are still
possible. Firms must have a good plan in
place. Investors must find out about those
plans before investing.
Recall reflections in stock prices
The researchers found it took about
four to five days, on average, for the stock
price to reflect a recall. If a major health
hazard was part of the recall, the stock
price could take a hit earlier, potentially
within one day.
Investor and firm interests often go
hand-in-hand during a recall, Schroeder
said. In the stock market, especially as a
recall progresses, theres uncertainty and
emotion.
Our results show investors do respond
fairly quickly, within the day of the recall
or as soon as the markets open after the
recall, he said. As the recall continues
to unfold, the market will adjust, and
its either going to go down further or
readjust back up if the confidence and
handling of the recall is made known.
Regardless if a health hazard was part
of the recall, the researchers found the
stock price returns decreased on average
0.63 percent within five days. A health
hazard jumped that decrease to an average of 1.15 percent, which could translate
to a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars
for some firms.
A breakdown of factors that most
impacted stock price reactions
1. Severity
Class I recalls pose a major health hazard compared to Class II and Class III. The
researchers found the seriousness of the
human health risk, brought on by E. coli
O157:H7, salmonella or listeria as examples, would impact shareholder losses to
the greatest extent.
2. Recall size
The larger the recall, the more financial
damage the firm would face, according to
the researchers. Knowing that recall sizes
matter, it may behoove firms to test products in smaller lot batches to help prevent
a large-scale recall, but they would need
to weigh the costs to implement this practice.
Further, firms should know that combining acute health urgency in a Class I
recall with a large recall size would make
the most sizeable market reaction.
3. Firm size
Some of the financial hit from a sizeable Class I recall can be countered if
the firm is large and more diverse, said
the researchers. In addition to immediate
private costs, insurance premiums for the
firm also would likely rise.
A large firm wont have near the stock
market impact as a smaller publicly traded firm that relies heavily on that particular meat or poultry product as its main

A growing interest in forage sorghum
GARDEN CITY As winter comes to a
close, it is never too early to start planning feedstuffs production for cattle next
winter. Forage sorghum offers a variety of
benefits that help secure its place as one of
those major feedstuffs.
Interest in forage sorghum is definitely on the rise, said John Holman,
K-State Research and Extension agronomist based in Garden City. There is a
lot of interest in general to supply cowcalf, feedlot and dairy industries in the
region.
The growing interest is in part due
to the versatility of forage sorghums,
he said. Other advantages of sorghum
include that it uses less water than some
other traditional forage crops and, when
managed correctly, contains high-quality
nutrients for cattle.
Depending on what the producers
goal is, with sorghum we have the ability
to graze, hay or put it into silage, Holman
said. Its one of the advantages of sorghum, with all of the different sorghum
types that are available. Once a producer
identifies what his or her goal is, then we
can select a sorghum type and variety to
match the growers needs.
Sorghum has better heat and drought
tolerance than corn or alfalfa, and
requires less irrigation than corn silage,
Holman said.
Particularly in the Ogallala Aquifer
region, there are advantages of sorghum
over corn when we are working with limited irrigation wells or dryland, Holman
said. Sorghum has good drought toler-
ance and high water use efficiency.
However, for producers who have adequate water, corn silage may suit their
forage needs better than sorghum.
If you are able to fully irrigate, you
will obtain higher quality forage with
corn silage due to its grain production,
but if you are working with limited irrigation, sorghum silage is an excellent
choice, Holman said. Sorghum grown
under limited irrigation can produce
more biomass, and by selecting the right
variety, can produce good feed quality.
Producers may view sorghum tonnage
as the most important factor, he said,
because they are paid on tons produced,
like any biomass crop. But, feed quality is
also important.
When we evaluate feed quality, we
measure components such as crude protein, fiber content, energy and digestibility of that forage, Holman said. There
are several things to consider when it
comes to feed quality.
Sorghum types and their benefits
Brown midrib, or BMR, forage sorghum has been around for many years,
but it has become more common in the
last 5 to 10 years, Holman said.
When you look at the midrib on the
plants leaf, or if you cut open the stalk,
its going to be brown in color versus
white in color, Holman said.
BMR sorghum can be useful to producers when it comes to lignin content.
Lignin helps provide the plant rigidity,
but it also reduces fiber digestibility and
thus energy content in forages.

farmers state bank
2×3
gridley lumber
The brown midrib trait has between
20 and 50 percent less lignin content,
Holman said. Lignin is indigestible by
the animal and protects plant fiber from
being digested. So with reduced lignin,
we have better fiber digestibility and, as
a result, increased energy content in the
forage.
However, this isnt always true.
Not all BMRs meet that, he said.
Some BMRs just dont live up to what
other BMRs can. Just because it is a BMR
does not make it necessarily a good variety. Producers need to look at university
performance test data and select a variety
with good feed quality and yield potential.
Photoperiod-sensitive (PPS) forage sor-
ghum is another type of sorghum producers can consider utilizing.
It remains vegetative until day length
decreases to less than 12.5 hours a day,
Holman said. So it remains vegetative
long into the growing season.
PPS forage sorghum does not produce
seeds in Kansas, which extends the harvest window for hay production.
It will not make seed or grain in our
region, because we do not have a long
enough growing season, he said. The
advantage is it can produce high tonnage
and gives a longer window of opportunity
for haying in the fall, because it is not
going to be maturing.

SORGHUM…

But, PPS sorghum is not best for all
types of production.
(PPS) is not going to be a good choice
as a silage crop, but it would be a good
hay crop, Holman said. There are other
crops that have better forage quality, but
it can be a good hay choice.
Sorghum-Sudan grass has been on the
market a while and can be used for grazing, he said. It is typically grown when a
producer is looking for grazing potential
or, more recently, as a good fit for a cover
crop.
(Sorghum-Sudan grass varieties)
have good regrowth potential and are a
good fit for grazing, Holman said. Their
feed quality drops off later in the season,
whereas forage sorghums quality can
stay quite high.
Sorghum-Sudan grass varieties also fit
a variety of difficult situations.
They tend to be a little more drought
tolerant and more tolerant of high pH
soils than forage sorghum, Holman said.
Continuing research
As with all crops, having a good nutrient management program is highly
important.
Over-applying nitrogen can be hazardous, which has been shown in work

Holman and others at K-State have done
the last several years that examined nitrogen response with these sorghum crops.
Sorghum requires a good nutrient
management plan, not just for yield but
to minimize the risk of high nitrate also,
Holman said. Producers should soil sample and make sure all of the macronutrient needs are met. Make sure to not
over-fertilize with nitrogen. Otherwise,
we run the risk of elevating nitrate in the
plant.
K-State is adding a forage testing program for producers to aid them in their
variety selection decision-making.
Years ago, K-State had a forage variety testing program, but we are reinitiating it this year, Holman said. There
isnt a good university-wide testing program anywhere in our region, and we
have producers asking for that information. We will have five sites across the
state (Garden City, Hays, Hutchinson,
Mound Valley and Scandia) where we
will be evaluating both corn and sorghum
silages, as well as sorghum and millet
hay types. The success of this program is
going to be based on the industrys desire
to enter varieties.
I would encourage producers and
county agents to make sure that their
seed supplier is entering the test, so they
can see how varieties they are interested
in compare to everyone elses out there,
he added. In addition, weve had a lot of
cropping systems research projects that
include forage sorghum over the last several years, because it is such an important
crop for producers in the state.
For more information about forage sorghum, visit your local extension office.
Several research publications about forage sorghum are available online through
the K-State Research and Extension
Bookstore.

pigeons and starlings in your barns, these
birds will always be potential sources of
all kinds of avian disease and they should
be eliminated from the facilities.
Wild birds are not the only threat
Rodents are also sources of diseases, Beyer said. They are nocturnal, so
usually show up after dark to scavenge
leftover feed and you may not even know
they are there. You should control rodent
populations as much as possible using
rodenticides or with the help of an exterminator.
Dont leave feed accessible at night.
Place all feed into rodent-proof containers
or areas. Do not allow feeders to remain
full of feed overnight. Either move the
feeders out or feed only what the birds
will consume before dark.
Beyer said that people, autos and farm
implements can carry the virus from one
farm to another. At this time, it is a good
management practice to limit any contact
with birds on other farms.
You should also be aware of any areas
that you are driving or walking through
on the farm or ranch where migratory
birds have congregated as mud and dirt
can help move the virus, he said. A good
way to clean up exposed items is by using
a cup of bleach in a gallon of water to soak
or rinse the items. Be sure to rinse off the
bleach after treating because it can be
corrosive.
Monitoring your birds for symptoms
Producers should be aware of bird illnesses and die offs, Beyer added. The primary symptom of avian influenza in birds

is typical of most flu symptoms, so look
for respiratory distress like coughing,
rattling (a raspy sound made when they
breathe), sneezing, swelling around the
eyes, and flicking of the head. Death may
happen quickly, even before any signs of
illness are noticed.
The Kansas Department of Agriculture
is monitoring poultry flocks for the
virus in Crawford and Cherokee counties, which are closest to the most recent
known infection in Missouri, and on
March 12 established quarantine zones in
those counties.
If you have a flock with signs of this illness in these areas, quarantine your poultry and contact your local veterinarian
and the KDA Division of Animal Health
at 785-564-6601.
Also, as part of the monitoring process,
the KDA is developing a map of the location of backyard flocks in Crawford and
Cherokee counties. Backyard flock owners are asked to self-report their flocks by
contacting KDA at 785-564-6601. This will
assist with notification if further developments occur in this disease outbreak.
Biosecurity is the best way to prevent
your flock from contracting the infection, Beyer said. Knowing how the disease spreads and using good biosecurity
will be the best line of defense.
For more information on biosecurity procedures contact the local K-State
Research and Extension office and
visit online resources on Kansas Avian

Say a firm experienced one recall and

The researchers found the impact of the

because the firm showed it could manage

5. Media
Media has an important effect on how
a processing or manufacturing firms customers, investors and consumers perceive
the company. The larger the number of
media articles about the recall event, the
more damage it would likely cause the
firm related to that particular recall.
Most of the media articles related to the
recalls under study were informative, but
they carried a negative tone, according
to the researchers. Results suggest value
in firms having a media plan in place if a
recall were to occur.
