St. Francis opens secure facility for chronic runaways

Posted on

WICHITA – An 18-bed secure care facility for juveniles judged to be chronic runaways has opened in Sedgwick County. It is licensed by the state and operated under the direction of Salina-based Saint Francis Community Services.

Located within the Sedgwick County Juvenile Detention Center at 700 S. Hydraulic, the secured area has separate wings for boys and girls, each wing housing nine beds. This is only the third secure care juvenile facility in the state, bringing the total number of secure care beds to 42. The other secure care beds are located Newton and Junction City.

The 5,000-square-foot area includes a communal recreation area, dining hall and classrooms where youth, ages 12 – 18, can continue their schoolwork under the instruction of ORION Education and Training, a USD 259 subcontractor. A staff of 25 Saint Francis Community Services employees, including social workers and behavioral technicians, oversee the youth 24-7. A clinical director and registered nurse are also on staff during the day.

“Kansas has an increasing need for beds and therapeutic treatment options for children in foster care, especially those children who have chronic runaway behaviors,” said Trish Bryant, Vice President of Children and Family Services for Saint Francis Community Services. “The Sedgwick County Department of Juvenile Programs reached out to us with an offer of available space in their facility. We’re excited to take this program from concept to reality, and we appreciate the County’s tremendous support.”

Annual expenses for the program will be approximately $417,000, excluding salaries. Of this amount, Saint Francis will pay Sedgwick County $352,403 annually for the space, including laundry, housekeeping and maintenance services.

Juvenile court judges across Kansas adjudicate youth to a secure care facility, often because these youth repeatedly have run away from other child welfare placements. Youth are sent to the facility for an initial 60-day stay, with two 60-day extension options available at the court’s discretion. The youth are required to stay the full length of time ordered by the court.

“The courts have been asking for more beds and more safe settings like this,” Bryant said. “Saint Francis has designed this program around a clinical model of trauma informed care and will include individual, group and family therapies. The whole idea is to give kids a safe environment where they can learn healthy living skills. They will get the behavioral therapy they need so they can recognize and control their own emotions. The goal is to prepare these kids to reintegrate into a family setting or other safe environment.”

“Many of these youth have experienced extensive trauma, and some are survivors of heinous human trafficking,” said the Very Reverend Robert N. Smith, Dean, President and CEO of Saint Francis. “That’s why we’ve structured a nurturing environment where kids don’t have to feel criminalized or further traumatized.

“Traditional youth detention facilities simply aren’t equipped or staffed to offer the kind of therapeutic services these kids need,” Smith continued. “Saint Francis’ model has the potential to vastly improve outcomes for these youth and strengthen juvenile justice programming in general. We are grateful to the Kansas Department of Children and Families and to Sedgwick County for embracing this concept and allowing us to implement it for Kansas’ kids.”

St. Louis Brass Quintet set for northwest Kansas performance

Posted on

Western Plains Arts Association

COLBY — One of America’s longest standing brass quintets is coming to northwest Kansas. Western Plains Arts Association is pleased to bring the Saint Louis Brass Quintet to Colby Community College’s Cultural Arts Center at 3 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 30. Admission is by WPAA season ticket or adults $20, students $10, at the door.

This project is generously funded by the Mid-America Arts Alliance, the National Endowment of the Arts, and the state arts agencies of Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Locally, the Dane G. Hansen Memorial Foundation, Logan, Kan., is a major contributor to all WPAA programs this season.

Founded in 1964, the Saint Louis Brass Quintet, was originally formed by members of the St. Louis Symphony to play children’s concerts around the St. Louis area. Soon though, they had expanded to present full length concerts funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Missouri Arts Council and the Mid-America Arts Alliance. Now, 54 years and more than 3,000 engagements later, the only original member still in the group — and the only one who actually lives in St. Louis — is trombonist Melvyn Jernigan – who retired from the Saint Louis Symphony after 35 years. The other quintet members hold top positions across the United States. The quintet averages more than 25 engagements per year, including master classes, clinics, school concerts and formal concerts.

Members include: Allan Dean, Trumpet, professor of music, Yale School of Music; Mikio Sasaki, freelance trumpet player in New York; Victoria Knedtson, principal horn of the Columbus Indiana Philharmonic; Melvyn Jernigan, trombone player and executive director, Primo Concerts; and Daniel Perantoni, tuba player, professor of music, Indiana University.

The Saint Louis Brass Quintet performs the entire spectrum of great music for brass – from the works of today’s composers to Baroque and Renaissance music transcribed for modern instruments. For many audiences they also offer lighter fare: popular music of the Americas, jazz arrangements of standards by Ellington/Strayhorn, Gershwin and Cole Porter, lighthearted pieces for narrator and brass; and a tongue in cheek survey of the history of the brass instruments.

The group now performs three ten day concert tours throughout the United States each year, plus recording and international touring. The SLBQ was featured at the Norway Brass Band Festival in 1994, at a festival in Bombay, India in 1995, and they performed a two-week concert tour in Japan in 1997. In May of 1999 the quintet toured Mexico, and in October of 2001 they toured Germany. June 2003, they were performing in Sweden.

The SLBQ sees itself foremost as a serious chamber music group, but also recognizes the importance of education and entertainment in its programming. Finding this balance is an exciting challenge that is vital in keeping both the group’s members and its audiences satisfied. Visit the group’s website at saintlouisbrass.com

Federal grants expand DCF services to Kansas families

Posted on

DCF

TOPEKA – Kansas Department for Children and Families (DCF) Secretary Gina Meier-Hummel is excited to announce that the agency recently received two new federal grants that will allow the agency to continue to build strong, healthy families in Kansas.

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) has awarded Kansas a $250,608 Kansas Kinship Grant through the federal Promoting Safe and Stable Families program. DCF will be utilizing the funding from this grant to develop an intensive Kinship Navigator Program in Kansas. The Kinship Navigator Program will connect kinship caregivers to resources, programs and services and will provide much-needed assistance and support to kinship caregivers.

The Kinship Navigator Program will be included in the Kansas Family Network Support grant, which is currently in the bid submission process. The Kansas Family Support Network will focus on providing direct support to parents and kinship caregivers through prevention and intervention services. By making small shifts within families, they can have an enormous impact on Kansas child welfare outcomes, such as out of home placement rates and lengths of stay in foster care.  The Kansas Family Network Support grant will take effect July 1, 2019.

“I am extremely excited about the Kinship Navigator Program because it allows us to fill a gap that existed previously and provide quality, necessary support and services to parents and kinship caregivers in Kansas,” Secretary Gina Meier-Hummel said. “This program is aimed at reducing stress on families and reducing disruptions in the caregiver process. This is great news for the children and families of Kansas.”

DCF’s Economic and Employment Services (EES) division also received a new, substantial three-year grant this week that allows the agency to develop and implement a phone application for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) clients. The SNAP recipients will be able to contact their career navigator directly through the phone app, as well as set and track appointment dates with their career navigator, see upcoming workshops, access community resources, etc.

The Process and Technology Improvement Grant, received from the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Services (USDA), will work in conjunction with GOALS: A Program of HOPEWorks, to connect SNAP recipients to employment and training opportunities.

“We want to connect with and assist Kansas families as much as possible. By developing this phone app, EES can be more readily available to SNAP recipients,” EES Director Sandra Kimmons said. “This is a great opportunity to improve engagement in SNAP work program services, which will ultimately help more Kansas families achieve self-sufficiency.”

The Process and Technology Improvement Grant, which totaled $1,475,303, takes effect immediately and will run through September 2021. To learn more about SNAP or GOALS: A Program of HOPEWorks, visit www.dcf.ks.gov.

WINKEL: Fall planting and transplanting, part 1

Posted on
Rip Winkel

The fall season is a great time to plant trees, and shrubs as well. During the spring, soils are cold and may be so wet that low oxygen levels inhibit root growth. The warm and moist soils normally associated with fall encourage root growth. Fall root growth means the tree or shrub becomes established months before a spring-planted tree and is better able to withstand summer stresses. Moreover, the best time to plant is in early September to late October.  This is early enough that roots can begin to develop and become established before the ground freezes.

Fall-planted trees and shrubs need some special care. Remember that roots are actively growing even though the part of the plant above ground is dormant. Make sure the soil stays moist, but not soggy. This may require having to water them not only in the fall but also during the winter months, especially if the winter is dry and/or unusually mild. Mulch can be helpful because it minimizes moisture loss and slows the cooling of the soil so root growth continues that much more.

Note; there are certain trees that are an exception, as they do not produce significant root growth during the fall and are better planted in the spring. These include beech, birch, redbud, magnolia, tulip poplar, willow oak, scarlet oak, black oak, willows, and dogwood.

In either case, fall or summer, here are some hints you can remember when planting containerized trees and shrubs;

  1. Dig the hole no deeper than the container bottom to the root flare or crown of the plant; on trees the flare needs to be slightly above the soil grade when done.
  2. Dig the hole two to three times the diameter of the root ball or container, and the bottom of the hole needs to be undisturbed (not loosened).
  3. When placing the plant into the hole, disturb the root ball as little as possible. Lift potted plants by the container, not by the trunk, stems or branches. Be sure to not allow the root system to dry out before or during planting.
  4. Tip the container on its side and slide the plant from the container. Place the plant in the hole by lifting the root mass. If the roots are tightly matted, use a knife to score the root mass in several places and gently loosen the root ball.
  5. Add backfill soil to the planting hole until it comes about halfway up the root ball. At this point the soil can be lightly packed by hand or foot, or by placing the hose in the hole and letting water run until the back filling is complete.
  6. Construct a 3–4″ high ridge of soil around the outer edge of the planting hole. This berm will create a basin to hold irrigation water, concentrating it over the roots.

Data: Not all of Kansas experiencing economic growth

Posted on

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita was the only major metropolitan area in Kansas that didn’t experience economic growth last year, according to new federal data.

The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released figures this week showing that the Wichita area’s gross domestic product declined 1.4 percent in 2017.

The state’s economy also declined overall, despite positive growth in cities such as Kansas City, Lawrence, Manhattan and Topeka. Kansas was among only three states to have experienced negative economic growth in 2017.

Kansas and Wichita can’t find enough workers, which limits companies’ ability to grow and boost the economy. Job vacancies increased by more than 9 percent throughout Kansas last year.

“We think workforce and talent are really the No. 1 threat to our ability to grow, not only in Wichita but also the state of Kansas,” said Gary Plummer, president and CEO of the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Wichita officials said they’re working to address the worker shortage. The merger of Wichita State University and Wichita Area Technical College will produce better-qualified workers, officials said.

Wichita’s shrinking GDP is largely attributable to a decline in the city’s finance, insurance, real estate and rental sector, according to Jeremy Hill, director of Wichita State University’s Center for Economic Development and Business Research.

Economic analyst James Chung pointed to Wichita’s population loss. The city has lost more than 18,000 residents over the past decade.

2018 Upland Bird Hunting Forecast available online

Posted on

KDWPT

PRATT – In just a matter of days, ink will be drying on freshly-printed copies of Kansas’ 2018 Upland Bird Hunting Forecast, but if you can’t wait any longer, there’s an electronic version to tide you over. Bird hunters can download a PDF version of this year’s forecast at ksoutdoors.com.

How To Download the “2018 Upland Bird Forecast”

1. Visit ksoutdoors.com

2. Click “Hunting”

3. Click “Upland Birds” (found under “What To Hunt”)

4. Click “Upland Bird Forecast”

The annual forecast summarizes data from spring and summer surveys and predicts what pheasant, quail and prairie chicken hunters may experience across Kansas this fall. The verdict? Kansas should have “good” upland bird hunting opportunities this fall.

Biologists create the forecast using surveys of breeding populations and reproductive success of pheasants, quail, and prairie chickens. Breeding population data are gathered with spring whistle count surveys for quail, crow count surveys for pheasants and lek count surveys for greater prairie chickens.

PHEASANT

Kansas reported the second highest pheasant harvest among states in 2017, and Kansas will still have one of the best pheasant populations in the country this fall. Pheasant hunting in Kansas should be “fair to locally good” this year.

Pheasant densities had been slowly recovering from 2013 to 2016 with a few areas reaching relatively high densities. A late 2017 spring blizzard in western Kansas reduced nesting success and resulted in a decline in the 2018 pheasant crow survey. Winter precipitation was limited this year, resulting in short wheat and concern for nesting prospects. Heavy spring and summer showers greatly improved vegetative cover for nesting, but also limited nest success. Conditions shifted peak pheasant hatch later into June and July. While wheat harvest was delayed, which typically benefits pheasant production, the short wheat limited its usefulness for nesting. Roadside counts indicate a below-average pheasant population this year. The combination of heavy cover and a later peak hatch may have reduced the number of detectable birds on the counts, but generally survey conditions were ideal.

The best areas will likely be in the northern half of the Kansas pheasant range with areas of high densities also found in central and far southwestern regions.

QUAIL

Last fall’s Kansas bobwhite quail harvest was the highest recorded in the country, finishing just above Texas, and while hunting isn’t expected to be quite as good in 2018, Kansas will still have one of the best quail populations in the country.

Precipitation patterns observed over the past five years altered vegetation, increasing both the quality and quantity of habitat, allowing for a modern quail boom. While total harvest has remained well below average due to lower hunter participation, the average daily bag has remained at the best levels observed in 20 years. The bobwhite whistle survey in 2018 showed only a slight decline compared to the 2017’s highest values ever recorded from this survey, which began in 1997. Dry weather in the east and wet weather in the west provided optimism for high production and another banner year. Early reports indicated lots of birds along roadsides and throughout wheat fields during harvest. However, observations on the statewide roadside survey were significantly down this year, with only the Osage Cuestas showing improvement. Densities in the eastern-most regions are not as high, but all regional indices remain near or above their respective long-term averages.

The best opportunities will again be found in the central regions, extending east into the northern Flint Hills.

PRAIRIE CHICKEN

Kansas is home to greater and lesser prairie chickens. Greater prairie chickens are found primarily in the tallgrass and mixed-grass prairies that occur in the eastern third and northern half of the state. The Southwest Prairie Chicken Unit, where lesser prairie chickens are found, will remain closed to hunting this year.

Greater prairie chicken hunting opportunities will be best in the Northern High Plains and Smoky Hills Regions this fall, where populations have been increasing or stable.

All prairie chicken hunters are required to purchase a $2.50 Prairie Chicken Permit in addition to their hunting license. This permit allows hunter activity and harvest to be measured and will improve management activities and inform policy decisions.

For more detailed information and regional breakdowns for all three species, consult the 2018 Upland Bird Hunting Forecast at www.ksoutdoors.com or pick one up at any Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Office. The full forecast will also be featured in the 2018 November/December issue of Kansas Wildlife & Parks Magazine, available for purchase by calling (620) 672-5911.

 

NW Kansas man hospitalized after I-70 accident

Posted on

THOMAS COUNTY — One person was injured in an accident just before 8p.m. Friday in Thomas County.

Hoisington uses quick strike offense to down TMP

Posted on

HAYS – The Hoisington Cardinals took advantage of several big plays in the first half on their way to a 42-0 win over the TMP-Marian Monarchs Friday at Lewis Field Stadium.

It took the Cardinals just six offensive plays to build a 21-0 lead in the first quarter.

Hoisington forced the Monarchs into three-and-outs on their first three possessions and scored on just two plays each time.

Hoisington got a 37 yard touchdown run from Xavier Robinson, a 58 yard TD run from Wyatt Pedigo and a 15 yards TD run from Braxton Donovan to build the 21-0 lead through one quarter.

Hoisington added three more second quarter scored to build a 42-0 halftime lead and with a running clock in the second half they would go on to win by that score.

Wyatt Pedigo lead all players with 159 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries. He also added three receptions for 50 yards and one score. Cardinals quarterback Derek Boxberger finished 7-for-12 for 129 yards passing with one touchdown and one interception.

The Monarchs were led by Kaleb Hagans who finished with 43 yards on 14 carries.

David Bowen Post-game Inteview
