2 robbery suspects jailed after Kan. deputy shoots car’s tires during chase
MARSHALL COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a robbery and have two suspects in custody.
Just after 11:30a.m. Wednesday, authorities in Nebraska notified the Marshall County Sheriff’s office they were southbound on U.S. 77 in pursuit of a vehicle. The occupants were allegedly involved in a Beatrice, NE., robbery, according to a media release.
As the suspects approached State Line Road, a Marshall Co. deputy fired shots at the car’s tire, disabling the vehicle and ending the chase at the Nebraska state line, according to the release.
Nebraska authorities took the two suspects Jonathan F. Klein and Wesley Okeefe into custody. There were no injuries reported.
Klein is being held for Robbery-Business-Gun, Use of A Weapon To Commit A Felony, Possession Of Weapon, Willful Reckless Driving, Driving Under Suspension and Possession Of Deadly Weapon During The Commission Of A Felony. Okeefe is being held for Theft By Unlawful Taking (500-1500) and Fugitive From Justice, according to the sheriff’s department.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the incident, according to the Marshall Co. Sheriff’s Office.

WINKEL: Bagworms have arrived!
There has been word that bagworms, Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis, are emerging from eggs, and the young caterpillars are already out-and-about feeding on plants. Eventually bagworms will be present throughout our region feeding on both broadleaf and evergreen trees and shrubs.
So now is the time to take action against this insect pest. Bagworms are primarily a pest of conifers but have expanded their host range to include a number of broadleaf plants, such as; rose, honeylocust, and flowering plum to name a few. Hand-picking small caterpillars (along with their accompanying bag) and placing them into a container of soapy water will kill them directly. This practice, if feasible, will quickly remove populations before they can cause substantial plant damage.
Not into hand-picking bag-worms? There are a number of insecticides that can be used to control bagworms, including those with the following active ingredients (trade name in parentheses): acephate (Orthene), Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (Dipel), cyfluthrin (Tempo), lambda-cyhalothrin (Scimitar), trichlorfon (Dylox), indoxacarb (Provaunt), chlorantraniliprole (Acelepryn), and spinosad (Conserve). Most of these active ingredients are commercially available and sold under various trade names or as generic products.
Several insecticides, however, may not be directly available to homeowners. The key to managing bagworms with insecticides is to apply early and frequently enough to kill the highly susceptible young caterpillars that are feeding aggressively on plant foliage. Older caterpillars that develop later in the season are usually more difficult to kill with insecticides. Furthermore, females feed less as they prepare for reproduction, which reduces their susceptibility to spray applications and any residues.
The bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki is active on young caterpillars but the active ingredient must be ingested to be effective. Therefore, thorough coverage of all plant parts and frequent applications are required. Spinosad is the active ingredient in a number of homeowner products, including: Captain Jack’s DeadBug Brew, and Monterey Garden Insect Spray. The insecticide works by contact and ingestion (stomach poison); however, activity is greatest when ingested. Products containing spinosad can be used against older or larger bagworm caterpillars later on in the season. Acephate (Bonide Systemic Insect Control), cyfluthrin (Bayer Vegetable & Garden Insect Spray), gamma-cyhalothrin (Spectracide Triazicide), trichlorfon, chlorantraniliprole, and indoxacarb can be used against both the young and the older caterpillars.
Thorough spray coverage of all plant parts, including tree tops and surrounding shrubs, in multiple applications, is essential in keeping bagworm populations at bay. The reason multiple applications are recommended is that bagworm eggs do not hatch simultaneously but hatch over a period of time depending on temperature. Also, young bagworms can ‘blow in’ (called ‘ballooning’) from neighboring plants on silken threads.
If left unchecked, bagworms can cause a lot of damage, ruining the aesthetic quality of plants. Moreover, bagworms can actually kill plants, especially small evergreens that may be newly transplanted, because evergreens do not usually produce more than one flush of growth per growing season.

BOOR: Time to take care of your turf
June is the time to fertilize warm-season lawn grasses such as bermudagrass, buffalograss, and zoysiagrass. These species all thrive in warmer summer weather, so this is the time they respond best to fertilization. The most important nutrient is nitrogen (N), and these three species need it in varying amounts.
Bermudagrass requires the most nitrogen. High-quality bermuda stands need about 4 lbs. nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. during the season (low maintenance areas can get by on 2 lbs.). Apply this as four separate applications, about 4 weeks apart, of 1 lb. N per 1,000 sq. ft. starting in early May. It is already too late for the May application, but the June application is just around the corner. The nitrogen can come from either a quick- or slow-release source. So any lawn fertilizer will work. Plan the last application for no later than August 15. This helps ensure the bermudagrass is not overstimulated, making it susceptible to winter-kill.
Zoysiagrass grows more slowly than bermudagrass and is prone to develop thatch. Consequently, it does not need as much nitrogen. In fact, too much is worse than too little. One and one-half to 2 pounds N per 1,000 sq. ft. during the season is sufficient. Split the total in two and apply once in early June and again around mid-July. Slow-release nitrogen is preferable but quick-release is acceptable. Slow-release nitrogen is sometimes listed as “slowly available” or “water insoluble.”
Buffalograss requires the least nitrogen of all lawn species commonly grown in Kansas. It will survive and persist with no supplemental nitrogen, but giving it 1 lb. N per 1,000 sq. ft. will improve color and density. This application should be made in early June. For a little darker color, fertilize it as described for zoysiagrass in the previous paragraph, but do not apply more than a total of 2 lb. N per 1,000 sq. ft. in one season. Buffalograss tends to get weedy when given too much nitrogen. As with zoysia, slow-release nitrogen is preferable, but fast-release is also OK. As for all turfgrasses, phosphorus and potassium are best applied according to soil test results because many soils already have adequate amounts of these nutrients for turfgrass growth.
If you need to apply phosphorus or potassium, it is best to core aerate beforehand to ensure the nutrients reach the roots.

Kan. woman faces new trial for murder of ex-husband, his fiancee
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Prosecutors say they will retry a woman whose convictions in the 2002 shooting deaths of her ex-husband and his fiancee were overturned earlier this year by the Kansas Supreme Court.
Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay announced plans Wednesday to retry Dana Chandler.
Chandler was convicted in 2012 of killing Michael Sisco and Karen Harkness in Topeka. But the state’s high court ruled in April that Chandler was convicted after Shawnee County prosecutors falsely claimed Sisco had taken out a protection from abuse order against her before the killings. The justices wrote that prosecutors used the false claim and circumstantial evidence to support its theory that Chandler was dangerous.

UPDATE: No charges yet filed in death of Kan. boy; stepmom released from jail
SEDGWICK COUNTY— A prosecutor says the stepmother of a 5-year-old Kansas boy whose body was found three months after he was reported missing was released from jail without charges, according to the Sedgwick County jail records.
Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett released a statement Wednesday afternoon saying no charges have been filed in the death of Lucas Hernandez, whose body was found under a bridge May 24 on a gravel road in Harvey County.
Within hours of the discovery, the boy’s stepmother, Emily Glass, was arrested and has been held since on suspicion of obstruction and interference of a law enforcement officer. Police had said Glass led a private investigator to Lucas’ body.
Glass reported Lucas missing from their home on Feb. 17.
Bennett said investigators will continue to “follow up on newly developed leads” and that final autopsy results — including those from toxicology tests — are not yet available.
Glass has been held on a $250,000 Bond, according to the Sedgwick County Jail records until her release Wednesday afternoon.
