Fort Hays State alum tapped as director of Wisconsin university’s ag school
A longtime agribusiness professor with the University of Wisconsin-Platteville will soon take over as the director of the college’s School of Agriculture. Dr. Rami Reddy, who has been part of the UW-Platteville faculty since 1999, will begin his new duties on July 1. He replaces Dr. Michael Compton, who’s retiring after leading the program for the past nine years.
A native of India, Reddy received his master’s degree in international marketing from Nagarjuna University in India, and an additional master’s in marketing from Fort Hays State University in Kansas. He also earned a Ph.D. in agricultural economics from Texas A&M University.
“We are excited to have Dr. Reddy as the director of the School of Agriculture and having him as part of the college leadership team,” said Dr. Wayne Weber, dean of the College of Business, Industry, Life Science and Agriculture. “He brings with him extensive experience as a faculty member in the School of Agriculture, experience as program coordinator in Agribusiness, a palpable passion for the school, and a wealth of ideas.”
Reddy said he sees great potential in each and every student, faculty and staff member in the school’s agriculture program.
“What can be learned in 100 days in a classroom can be learned in 10 days by showing and doing things,” Reddy said. “Create direct experiences. What can be achieved in 10 days in a classroom can be done in a few hours by direct interactions and engagements.”
As an agribusiness professor, Dr. Reddy taught courses in agricultural marketing, agribusiness management and more. He says fundraising is among his top priorities going forward, as he hopes to bring in additional revenue to fund new ideas and projects.
Prior to coming to Platteville, Reddy served as a direct marketing specialist for the State of Wisconsin for 10 years.

Exploring Outdoors Kansas: When your pond turns on you
Ever since I moved to Kansas I’ve heard fishermen talk about lakes, reservoirs and ponds “turning,” sometimes involving a fish kill, but always resulting in that body of water becoming murky and stirred-up for awhile.
Sunday at church, a friend who has a nice pond told me he’d just had a bad fish kill in his pond. He said that this spring the pond had become completely covered with algae. Last week one morning he noticed the algae had totally disappeared overnight and the next morning lots of fish were jumping and sucking on the surface of the water, feeding on insects he’d hoped.
That afternoon however his wife called to tell him there were lots of dead and dying fish. It then became apparent that the jumping fish were not feeding but attempting to get oxygen which was somehow being depleted from the water. Now that all is said and done, he figures he’s lost 300 to 400 fish of multiple species, including channel cats in the twenty inch range and grass carp that were over four feet long. I figured it was now time to research and find out exactly what happens when a pond or lake “turns.”
I spoke with David Breth, Fisheries Program Specialist with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism to glean from his wisdom. Breth says most bodies of water turn in the fall, and even though spring events are still called turning, what happens in the spring is most often a little different occurrence. On the bottom of any body of water, especially farm ponds is a layer of decaying matter composed of dead plants and animals. Normally the bottom layer of water containing that matter is colder than the rest and remains at the bottom, and is very low in oxygen because it has used the oxygen to decompose all that dead matter.
In the spring, however water coming into the pond in the form of rain and drainage runoff is just as cold as the bottom layer of water and thus stirs up that bottom layer and mixes it with the rest of the water in the pond. The sudden release of nutrients from that decomposed matter fuels an intense algae growth and bloom. When the algae growth becomes more than the pond can healthily support, if begins to die and all the oxygen in the water is used to decompose that dead and dying algae, thus depleting the water of oxygen for the fish which in turn die too. Since this is a natural occurrence, there is no way to stop it from happening, but aerating the pond by pumping air into the water as soon as possible may stop or halt a fish kill. The only other solution to save the fish is to remove them immediately to fresh water until the decomposition process in the pond has stopped using all the oxygen, which can be from a few days to a couple weeks.
During the summer, all bodies of water heat up and “stratify,” or divide into three basic layers of water. The top layer naturally becomes warm, lighter and less dense, the bottom layer stays cold, heavy and low in oxygen, and the middle layer called a “phermocline” is sort of a combination or the other two; colder at the bottom and warmer at the top. Breth says in the summer, fish are often found in this middle layer of water because it contains the most oxygen. In the fall, the top layer of water becomes colder and starts to sink, stirring up the bottom layer and forcing it to the top with all the dead and decaying matter, and suddenly the lake has “turned” or “flipped” as it is also known.
Breth told me our Kansas lakes and reservoirs turn almost every year, resulting in stirred-up and cloudy water, but rarely causing a major fish kill. He says 90% of all fish kills are caused by an intense algae bloom that dies and sucks the oxygen from the water as it decays; just what happened to my friend’s pond. Major fish kills because of algae blooms rarely happen on bigger lakes and reservoirs because there are always areas of the lake not affected to where fish can retreat and still find oxygen. Most large lakes are also stream and river fed, which constantly brings in fresh oxygenated water.
So now you know what happens when your pond turns on you. As a rule of thumb, the bigger the body of water, the less likely it will result in a fish kill, whether in the spring or in the fall. And if you see it suddenly happening in your pond, the only way to save your fish will be to somehow pump air into the pond, adding oxygen to the water, or to temporarily remove the fish; a pain in the neck for sure, but well worth it when the grandkids start haulin’ in jumbo bluegills or fat catfish one after another…Continue to Explore Kansas Outdoors.

Permian Monster exhibit to make first U.S. stop at Sternberg
By CRISTINA JANNEY
Hays Post
The Permian Age was a time when giant insects and strange mammal-like creatures dominated a thin layer of seashore on the supercontinent of Pangaea.
The age ended with a greatest extinction on the planet with 95 percent of life going extinct.
The Sternberg Museum of Natural History will host the traveling exhibit “Permian Monsters: Life Before Dinosaurs” from May 27 through Labor Day.
Reese Barrick, Sternberg director, said the Permian age is one of his favorite geological time periods.
The 5 percent of the creatures and plants that survived the mass extinction are the precursors to what inhabits the planet today.
Giant dragon flies with four-foot wing spans ruled the air, amphibians trolled coastal areas and creatures that resemble today’s mammals were in abundance.
The exhibit presents the life of the Permian Age through multiple mediums, including artwork, fossils, animatronics and life-size models of these ancient creatures.
“It will show how they lived, how they evolved and how they died,” Barrick said.
He noted many of the creatures look odd compared to today’s amphibians, reptiles and mammals.
They had huge skulls and big arms one might think to hold up those large skulls. The creatures had more squatty back legs.
During this period, Kansas was under the ocean. As ocean water evaporated, it left large salt deposits as the ones that can be found in Hutchinson today.
Fossils consistent with those in the exhibit have been found in eastern Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma. Similar discoveries have been found in Russia.
The Appalachians were as high as the Himalayas, and South America and Africa were joined. One big ocean surrounded the giant continent, which means that circulation of the water was sluggish.
With one continent, there was a limited area of shallow coastline where life could thrive. Interior areas were dominated by desert.
The period was also a time of much volcanic activity. Volcanic eruptions extruded 10s of miles of lava and ash that might have changed the climate drastically.
In addition, methane had built up at the bottom of the oceans. Something may have happened to release the methane. The green house gas also could have significantly altered climate, resulting in the mass extinction.
Whether it was an asteroid or a drop in sea level that allowed the green house gases to escape, about 290 million years ago earth became a “bad place to live,” Barrick said.
“Without the Permian time and its increased level of oxygen, giant insects and the ancestors of mammals would have never existed,” he said. “Without the extinction, dinosaurs would have never evolved.”
The Permian Age has been well-studied, but it has not been well presented in museums, Barrick said.
The Permian Monsters exhibit was created in Australia. It has been in the U.S. only once before for a stop in Texas.
The Sternberg exhibition will be the first stop in the exhibit’s upcoming U.S. tour.
“It is a unique opportunity,” Barrick said. “Not everyone will get this traveling exhibit of these crazy looking animals that are pre-dinosaur.”
Admission to the exhibit will be included in the regular price of admission to the Sternberg. Admission costs are as follows: adults (age 13-59) $9, youths (age 4-12) $6, senior citizens (60+) $7, and FHSU students (w/valid ID) $5. For more information on the Sternberg click here.
Barrick said the Sternberg plans to have a special science day involving the exhibit, special events surrounding the sesquicentennial celebration and also a member’s only opening on May 26.
MADORIN: Mentioning unmentionables
Talk to most women today, and they don’t remember not wearing pants or slacks to work or school. Visit with ladies past a certain age, and they’ll tell about a time when schools required little girls to wear dresses or skirts to class and employers mandated females do the same at work. Moms even cleaned house in a dress. Most mothers didn’t go so far as TV stars who wore pearls and heels to vacuum, but they made certain they could answer the door without causing the neighbors to gossip about manly apparel. Granted, such fashions weren’t the cumbersome Mother Hubbard gowns or flowing long skirts pioneers wore, but they complicated daily life unnecessarily.
Some would say mid-century housewives and schoolgirls didn’t have it so bad. Unlike travelers across emigrant trails, they didn’t have to worry about their hems catching fire while they cooked outdoors or tripping on them, crossing uneven surfaces. Gals of the 30s – 60s revealed ankles and calves and enjoyed freedom of movement their grandmas never knew.
What folks don’t think about is getting to work or school during frigid temperatures and snowstorms. Some families solved the problem the way pedestrians in large cities do today. Individuals wore slacks under or over their dresses on the way to their destination and changed after arriving.
What no one took into account was the playground dilemma little girls faced. As public schools added more recess equipment that involved climbing and twirling, females struggled to prevent others from seeing their bloomers and singing risqué songs involving London, France, and underpants. Learning to read, write, and do arithmetic was hard enough without worrying about peers knowing the color and condition of personal garments.
Keep in mind, these were days either before or soon after WW II when most families couldn’t afford a week’s supply of lacy undies for their daughters. Frequently, one sibling handed clean but pre-worn clothing to the next in line, causing more than one playground confrontation resulting in a bloody nose or black eye.
With the advent of monkey bars, girls who wanted go head to head in acrobatic challenges wore summer shorts under dresses. This added to mom’s laundry, but youngsters trying to perform a flip while tucking hems under or between knees meant re-stitching seams or patching fabric on a daily basis or worse, a broken arm. It was easier to wash extra clothing.
Certainly, women who grew up wearing dresses learned decorum regarding sitting with knees and ankles pressed together. Today’s females frequently discover the necessity of such postures the first time they publicly wear a short dress. More than one teacher or boss has observed lack of awareness concerning this detail.
No doubt, about it, females and pants go together from infancy to old age. Who needs to worry about a skirt rising in a breeze or during a cartwheel, offering a peek at undergarments. Too bad pioneer women never got to find out how much easier their lives would have been if they had worn trousers.
