Beer cans all over at sports complex
Yesterday (Saturday)
my little girl had a soccer game at the sports complex and when we drove into parking lot at 1pm there were beer cans scattered throughout the parking lot. In my opinion alcohol should not be allowed at the complex. This is all left behind from softball teams. We again are setting poor examples our children.

Proper Injection Sites, Handling & Storage at Calf-Working Time
The months of April and May are traditionally the months when “spring round-ups” take place. This is the time that large and small cow/calf operations schedule the “working” of the calves. As the majority of the spring calves reach their second month of life, it is time to castrate the male calves and immunize all of the calves to protect them against blackleg. Also relatively new research suggests that in some situations, calves may be vaccinated for the respiratory diseases, i.e. IBR and BVD.
Correct administration of any injection is a critical control point in beef production and animal health. There is a negative relationship between meat tenderness and injection sites, including injection sites that have no visible lesion. In fact, all intramuscular (IM) injections, regardless of the product injected, create permanent damage regardless of the age of the animal at the time of injection. Tenderness is reduced in a three-inch area surrounding the injection site. Moving all the injection-site area to the neck stops damage to expensive steak cuts. Therefore, cow/calf producers should make certain that their family members, and other hired labor are sufficiently trained as to the proper location of the injections before the spring calf-working begins.
Give injections according to label instructions. Subcutaneous (SQ) means under the skin, intramuscular (IM) means in the muscle. Some vaccines (according to the label instructions) allow the choice between intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SQ). Always use subcutaneous (SQ) as the method of administration when permitted by the product’s label. Remember to “tent” the skin for SQ injections unless instructed otherwise by the manufacturer.
Beef producers are encouraged to learn and practice Beef Quality Assurance Guidelines. You can learn more about the Kansas Beef Quality Assurance program by going to www.kansasbeef.org
ALL PRODUCTS:
● Read the label. The instructions for handling and administration should be there.
● If products require refrigeration, make certain that they are refrigerated when you purchase them, keep them refrigerated prior to use, and keep them refrigerated while chute side. Ice packs or a frozen gallon jug of water inside an ice chest work well to keep products cool.
● Be careful – you can get too much of a good thing. Some products that require refrigeration may be damaged if allowed to freeze.
● If products are designed to be stored at room temperature, or within a specified temperature range, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s temperature guidelines. These products may be inactivated if allowed to get too cold or too hot. The dashboard of a pickup exceeds room temperature quite regularly!
● You cannot always see physical changes that indicate that a product has been damaged by excessive cold, heat, or sunlight so you have to know how it was cared for prior to use to ensure that it will work as intended.
● Mark all syringes so that you know which product they contain while chute side. A piece of masking tape, or better yet a piece of colored tape (different color for each product), with the name of the product written on the tape is ideal.
● Do not pour injectable products from original packaging into a larger container. The injectable product was sterile when manufactured, but when you change containers there is a high probability of contaminating the whole container of product.
● Never re-enter a bottle with a used needle. The likelihood of contaminating the rest of the bottle of product is high. Put a new needle on the syringe each time you have to re-enter the bottle.
● To avoid having to re-enter a bottle, use a draw-off assembly and automatic refill syringe.
● Change to clean equipment any time existing equipment gets dirty enough that it creates a risk for injection site contamination.
● Clean and disinfect syringes and equipment at the end of each day’s use. Washing them out with water from the horse tank does not constitute proper cleaning!
It is important to fully read each products label, for instance did you know there are several pharmaceuticals and vaccine products that can be inactivated by sunlight. The injectable avermectins (Ivomec®, Dectomax®) are susceptible to inactivation by sunlight. All modified live viral (MLV) vaccines are susceptible to inactivation by sunlight. When using them, keep the bottles in the cooler out of the sunlight, keep the syringes out of the sunlight – sunlight will kill the vaccine in the syringe if left exposed to sunlight for more than a few minutes. Use of a cardboard box laid on its’ side with the open side facing away from the sun will serve as a shade over the syringe.
There are several more important product handling tips and guidelines for pharmaceuticals, and vaccines at our web site www.ellis.ksu.edu

FROM THE KANSAS DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE, PARKS AND TOURISM
A lone fawn curled up amid tall grass in early spring can be an endearing sight, but it also can make an attractive target for more than just predators.
Every year well-intentioned people attempt to “rescue” these presumably-abandoned young, often with deadly consequences. In almost all cases of young fawns found alone in the wild, the mother is typically feeding nearby, keeping a distant eye on her offspring. When concerned individuals decide to retrieve these young animals, they are unintentionally giving the fawn a death sentence.
The notion that a young animal found in the wild will die if not given care is wrong. Not only are most young found in the wild not abandoned, picking them up is against the law.
Both the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment have regulations against such activity that can result in a fine up to $1,000 or more. In addition to legal repercussions, wild animals can pose a number of health risks, including diseases such as distemper, rabies, lyme disease, roundworms, tapeworms, mites, tularemia and more.
Additionally, if a “rescued” animal were to bite someone, it must be put to death and tested for diseases. Even if they don’t bite, the young usually fail to survive in captivity because most people are not equipped to handle wild animals, especially as the they mature. On the off chance the animal does survive in captivity, it typically loses instincts that allow it to survive in the wild.
It is important to remember that although young wildlife may be cute, they belong in the wild. Wild animals cannot legally be inoculated by veterinarians, and few people really know how to care for them.
If you should see a young animal in the wild this spring or summer, observe at a distance and consider yourself lucky. But remember, just because they are temporarily alone, that doesn’t mean they are abandoned.
If you really want to help, leave young in the wild where they were born and belong.
If you find an injured animal, a list of licensed rehabilitators can be found on the KDWPT website, ksoutdoors.com, by clicking “Services/Rehabilitation.”

Inside the First Amendment
Here’s a quick primer on a recent proposal by two North Carolina legislators to permit the state to designate a official religion:
First, the North Carolina Speaker of the House effectively killed the proposal one day after it was filed, saying it “will not advance” to a committee hearing.
Second, even if enacted, it would not survive constitutional scrutiny under existing Supreme Court decisions.
And third, if it did overcome both legislative and legal barriers, it would have challenged the very underpinnings of the kind of religious liberty we have professed to the world since 1791, when the First Amendment was ratified, as part of the Bill of Rights.
The argument by those who favor the proposed North Carolina designation combines “state nullification” with a constitutional concept expressed in recent years by some in Tea Party gatherings and by other conservative groups: that the First Amendment’s prohibition of “establishment” of an official faith and providing protection for “free exercise” in religious choice only applies at the federal level.
The outcome of the Civil War would seem to have settled the whole nullification issue, through it arose again, without gaining traction in the courts, as Southern states attempted to fight desegregation orders and voting laws in the 1950s. The concept also went by the name “interposition.”
The second idea — that the 45 words of the First Amendment only apply to federal laws and the federal government — actually was the practice until a series of U.S. Supreme Court decisions beginning in the 1890s, in which an action called “incorporation” applied to parts of the Bill of Rights to states.
The “establishment” clause contained in the first 16 words of the First Amendment that protect freedom of religion was a late bloomer in this incorporation process. That clause was first applied to the states by the Supreme Court until 1947 — in a case having to do with use of public funds in support of private religious schools in New Jersey.
Protection of the other clause of those first 16 words, “free exercise of religion” against contrary state laws came a just a bit earlier, in 1940 — generally impacting state laws requiring a declaration of some religious faith in order to run for public office.
These kinds of proposals crop up periodically, often combined under the label of “states rights, citing the 10th Amendment, or in attacks on the reach of the “due process” provision provided by the 14th Amendment.
While this latest legislative proposal did not specify what faith might be declared “official,” it was titled “Rowan County, North Carolina, Defense of Religion Act of 2013,” referring to a legal battle in that county over the use of only Christian prayers at public meetings.
For much of the nation’s history, the use of Christian was matter-of-course in many places where other faiths were barely represented, if at all, or were subject to openly expressed bigotry.
But freedom of religion – as with the other four freedoms in the First Amendment – is not defined, supported or validated by majority vote. Just the opposite: First Amendment freedoms protect our individual rights from being overridden by the “majority” of citizens working through the hand of government.
The establishment and free exercise clauses are not present to restrain religion, privately practiced or expressed in the public square. They exist to shield religious faiths of all kinds from intrusion by the heavy hand of government – even if that hand purports to act benevolently.
We alone are empowered, each of us – not elected officials, states, judges or Congress – to designate our own, personal “official” religion.

Over the past 20 years, the percentage of victims of rape and sexualassault who reported the assault to the police has increased from 28.8 percentin 1993 to 50 percent today. This is both an indication of how far we’ve come
and a reminder of how far we have to go.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness month and it is a time to reflect on the tremendous achievements we have made since the passage of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) 18 years ago.
Sexual assault andrape are problems that affect people of every background, ethnicity, age,ability or sexual orientation. Nearly 1 in 5 (18.3 percent) women and 1 in 71(1.4 percent) men in the United States have been raped at some time in their lives, translating into 22 million women and 1.6 million men.
The Violence Against Women Act forever changed the way this nation meets our responsibility to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. The Justice Department applauds the recent bipartisan reauthorization of the
act. The legislation was signed in March.
The reauthorization of the act expanded the historic legislation that defends the rights of all victims and survivors. The new tribal provisions are of particular importance to all of us at the Justice Department. The act closes jurisdictional gaps that had long compromised American Indian and Alaska Native women’s safety and access to justice. This change supports the sovereignty of tribes and holds perpetrators accountable – a necessary step to reducing violence against native women.
The reauthorization also ensures that lesbian, gay, bisexual andtransgender survivors have access to the services they need and deserve, enables victims in publicly subsidized housing to stay safe by transferring to a different unit or location and adds protections for college students who have some of the highest rates of rape in the nation.
Across the federal government, we are working to support survivors and to prevent sexual violence. Last year, the Department of Justice modernized the definition of rape used to collect our nation’s crime statistics. This year, the department is working with law enforcement agencies to implement this change and develop new guidelines for investigating sexual assault cases.
It is only in working together that we can make a difference and save lives, and the Justice Department will continue to take every possible step to enforce laws protecting victims of violence and to provide resources to aid victim service providers.
From the Kansas Room, By: Lucia Flaim, Kansas Room Librarian, Hays Public Library
Spring to me is about several different factors: mild temperatures, the smell of mud and new grass, and trees suddenly bursting with leaves or blossoms. In spite of seasonal allergies, I find myself looking for new buds on trees and shrubs, anxiously waiting for the small, pale leaves to uncurl. One of the things I miss most about Missouri is the trees. In the spring, the pollen can be so thick that you have to scrape your windshield in the morning, but the sun sinking behind a veil of leaves, creating a stained glass ceiling in shades of green is breathtaking. Maybe I should just admit it: My name is Luci and I’m a tree-aholic.
Though I may miss the dense Ozark woods of MO, I do enjoy the new trees I’ve been introduced to in Kansas. Box-elder, hackberry and cottonwood trees are much more plentiful here than in Missouri. As a child, I remember having to walk to a remote field near my grandparent’s house just to find one Osage Orange. Here, there are half a dozen of these trees as I drive the mile to work in the morning.
In light of the spring season and the fact that Arbor Day is April 26, I have dedicated the library’s basement display cases to Kansas trees. One display shows close ups of 20 different tree species native to Kansas. You can test yourself on your knowledge by matching tree names to the numbered pictures in the display case. Drop by and see if you get “stumped.”
Earth Day is just a couple of days prior to Arbor Day, on April 22. To celebrate Earth Day, the Kansas Room will be hosting a series of evening programs on April 23rd, 24th and 25th titled “Kansas Green and Clean.” On April 23rd at 6PM in the Schmidt Gallery, the Kansas Room will host Derek Hadley, owner of White Chocolate. Derek’s presentation will focus on how to “eat green.” He’ll be teaching us how to eat healthy, organic foods on a budget. On April 24th at 6PM in the Schmidt Gallery, Holly Dickman, a horticulture agent for the Ellis County Extension, will give a program on water conservation tips and techniques. Anyone who wants to learn how to better manage their water use is encouraged to attend. Finally, on April 25th at 6PM in the Kansas Room, I’ll give a program on how to make and use green household cleaners. You’ll learn how, with just a few inexpensive ingredients, you can clean your entire home safely and effectively. Plus, by attending you have the chance to win your own green-cleaning starter kit. Come to one program, or to all three!
The Kansas Room is hosting one other very special program in April. Steve Parke, a native of Trego County who now lives in Colorado, will be giving a presentation on Czech Settlements in Kansas on April 11th at 6PM in the Schmidt Gallery. Steve has been doing research on ethnic communities in Kansas since the 1980s and has given numerous presentations on his findings. This should be a fascinating presentation for anyone who has an interest in the history and culture of Czech settlements in Kansas. It may even inspire you to do some research on your own!The Kansas Room is located in the basement of the Hays Public Library and is open from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday.

Drink to health
By John Schlageck, Kansas Farm Bureau
One alarming trend in our society today is the prevalence of junk food in our diets – and more importantly in those of our children. While the selection of junk foods continues to grow and the enormity is mind boggling, let’s focus on just one, soft drinks.
They have wiggled their way into nearly every venue in our society. About the only public place I haven’t seen them is in the back vestibules of our nation’s churches.
Soft drinks have no place is this nation’s schools. Soft drinks have little, if any nutritional value whatsoever. Look at the ingredients in a soft drink the next time you pick one up. Most people wouldn’t have a clue what these ingredients are, myself included.
To be part of a balanced diet, a food product must have nutritional value. Unlike water, soft drinks won’t even quench your thirst. They leave you longing for a tall, cool glass of water.
And that’s what we should have in all our public places – water, lots of it and other healthy drink alternatives.
Talk to a nutritionist or physician and what is the ingredient we’re supposed to drink at least eight glasses of?
That’s right nature’s own liquid – water.
What about that wonderful white liquid chock full of calcium we call milk? Where does it fit in our daily diet?
Milk belongs in a balanced diet. Nutritional research has stressed that men and women between the ages of 11 and 24 need the equivalent of five servings of dairy products daily. This can be milk, yogurt, cheese, ice cream and a whole array of other good-tasting dairy foods.
Kids need healthy food and drinks. During these growing years, the bones in the human body are like a calcium bank. Between 11 and 24, bones are continually taking in calcium. From 24 until about 50 years of age in women and 65 in men, the body reaches an equilibrium point. But after those years, the body begins to extract calcium from the bones.
Milk is a healthy, nutritional food that belongs in our daily diets. Proper intake of milk in a well-balanced diet can reduce the risk of osteoporosis by as much as 50 percent.
Juice from oranges, grapefruit, lemons, strawberries and other fruits is another item that belongs in a balanced diet. Food products from natural primary crops – not always secondary, highly processed food products – are essential to our youngsters’ diets. We owe it to them and their good health.
Vegetable drinks made from tomatoes, carrots, celery and other vegetables are loaded with vitamins, minerals and fiber. Vegetable drinks also belong as part of our daily diets. Have a V-8 instead.
But let’s return to soft drinks. As a youngster my parents only allowed us to drink them on special occasions. Dentists and nutritionists contend these products can cause tooth decay. While I know genetics and proper daily oral hygiene play a major role, I didn’t have my first filling until about six years ago, and I’m somewhere in the half century club age wise.
Coincidence?
I think not.
Selling soft drinks is about one thing only – making money. I don’t have a problem with anyone making a profit. It’s the American way. I just believe that food products should have plenty of nutritional value.
So if you need to treat yourself, add chocolate to the milk. Mix a couple of the fruit juices together or just drink water. You’ll be doing yourself a favor and you’ll be supporting farmers and ranchers who supply these fresh, tasty, nutritious drinks.
Make mine chocolate milk. Bottoms up.

Online auction sites have become popular in recent years as a way to connect buyers and sellers from across the country and around the world. These sites can be great places to find unique items – or to help us sell things we find collecting dust in our garages during spring cleaning.
Unfortunately, these sites can also be used by scammers offering items for sale that don’t exist. Our office recently stopped a series of fraudulent online auction transactions that would have totaled nearly $1 million. Kansas consumers file complaints with our office about these frauds every day. By following the tips below, you can assist our office in identifying scams and protect yourself from fraudulent transactions.
If you wish to file a complaint about an online transaction or any other scams please contact the Kansas State Attorney General’s office at 1-800-432-2310 or online at www.ag.ks.gov.
Choosing a Microwave Oven

The current push for a “Con Con” (Article V Constitutional Convention) started in the 1970’s leading up to the U.S. Bicentennial. At that point it was a balanced budget amendment which was being used as a cover. However that effort fell flat.
The push was renewed in the 1980’s and the myth perpetrated by the Con Con proponents #including the American Legislative Exchange Council #ALEC## was that the states could limit the topics of the “Con Con” delegates. That issue was largely discredited and in no small part by Chief Justice Warren Burger and Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum. In fact Mrs. Schlafly noted that the proponents had dropped this argument in their renewed efforts in a 2010.
These folks were exposed for wanting to change the form of the governments for the United States and of the several States. U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger said in a April 8, 1986 letter to Phyllis Schlafly:
” I am acquainted with Lloyd Cutler and some of the sponsors of this idea of a Constitutional Convention, and I have made no bones about my views on the subject. Some of the professors would like to abolish the states, and reorganize the federal structure along the lines of the division of circuits for the Federal Judicial system, or even on a more rigid regional basis. None of it makes any sense to me.”
This movement for a revised Constitution grew out of those behind the “New Deal” program. The Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions #CSDI# drafted a new Constitution. CSDI was set up by the Fund for the Republic #FFR# which was set up by the Ford Foundation.
The CSDI released its Constitutional draft in 1974 call the Constitution for the Newstates of America. It calls for the states to be replaced by 10 to 20 federal regions. These are the regions that Justice Warren Burger referred to in his 4/8/1986 letter to Phyllis Schlafly.
Now the proponents are back again and once again they are promoting the myth that the states can limit the topic of a “Con Con”. Even the Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is pushing a “Con Con” using Representative Brett Hildabrand and putting out the false message the states can control the topics at a “Con Con”.
But this time the proponents have a plan “B”. Plan “B” is an interstate compact drafted by ALEC whereby a consortium of states request the “Con Con” and have tied themselves together on related issues. According to ALEC :
” The Compact for America initiative condenses four state legislative acts #the Article V application, delegate appointment, prohibition on an invalid convention conducted without authority, ratification# into one legislative act – the Compact for America.”
The myth being perpetrated now is that they can do through a interstate compact what they couldn’t convince people they could do through the individual states i.e., control the topic and outcome of a Constitutional Convention. Or as ALEC says in the Compact:
” Whereas, every State enacting, adopting and agreeing to be bound by this Compact intends to ensure that their respective Legislature’s use of the power to originate a Balanced Budget Amendment under Article V of the United States Constitution will be exercised conveniently and with reasonable certainty as to the consequences thereof.
Compact for America, Article I
ALEC is clearly making promises it or its Compact cannot keep.
It is not clear if such a compact would even pass constitutional muster under Article 1, § 10 Clause 2 which provides in part:
“No State shall, without the Consent of Congress…enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State…”
But, laying this issue aside it still ignores the fact that a Con Con is called forth by Congress and under federal law #the Constitution# and that for the most part it is Congress that has control over much of what happens leading up to the Convention, the initial operation of the Convention and the ratification of what comes out of the Convention.
For instance the Compact provides:
“To the furthest extent permitted by law, the Convention shall be entirely focused upon and exclusively limited to the subject matter of introducing, debating, voting upon, and rejecting or proposing for ratification the Balanced Budget Amendment.”
Compact for America, Article V, §2
This is the same chicanery and sophistry used to pass the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2012, the Obama Care law in 2010 and the Dick law of 1903 which led to the end of the state militias.
The phrase ” To the furthest extent permitted by law” is meaningless if the law permits no limitation on the topics at a Con Con and that is what experts including Chief Justice Warren Burger and Phyllis Schlafly have been saying for over thirty years!!
The Compact also provides:
“Congress is further petitioned to refer the Balanced Budget Amendment to the States for ratification by three-fourths of their respective Legislatures. ”
Compact for America, Article V, §3
The states can “petition” to Congress all day long but Article V of the Constitution provides:
“The Congress… shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress…”
If Congress listened to the “petitions” of the states and citizens we would not have Obama Care, federal gun control and a myriad of other unconstitutional laws and WE WOUL D NOT BE TALKING ABOUT HAVING A CON CON!
Once again some political wizards are trying to take advantage of the uninformed, ignorant, mad and scared citizens to get the citizens to institute upon themselves exactly what the citizens are afraid the government may be trying to do to them.

Be Part of America’s Agriculture
You, I and 153 other people ate today because of one American farmer. An increase of 800% over the past 73 years! Where in 1940, each farmer produced enough food to feed 19 people.
We officially recognize our farmers and all they do to make our lives better during Agriculture Week, March 17-23, 2013. Farmers not only produce food, fiber and fuel, they contribute to a strong economy. In fact, the total impact of agriculture and agribusinesses account for 20 percent of the state’s economy, according to Kansas Inc.
The role of farmers will become even more critical with the exploding world population. We reached 7 billion people in 2011. The United Nations forecasts that world population will reach 9 billion by 2050 – and that farmers will have to produce 70 percent more food than they do today.
Agriculture is this nation’s #1 export and vitally important in sustaining a healthy economy.
And it’s not just the farmer who makes our food possible. The entire agriculture industry, all the way to the grocery store, are vital links in a chain that brings food to every citizen – and millions of people abroad.
Farms of every size are important today, regardless of whether they are feeding just their families or the world. Here’s an interesting fact from USDA numbers released on February 19: 25% of farms have an average of 55 acres and sales of less than $2,500.
Agriculture week is a good time to reflect – and be grateful for – American Agriculture! This marks a nationwide effort to tell the true story of American Agriculture and remind citizens that agriculture is a part of all of us.
Be part of America’s Agriculture, if even just for one day. Take a drive in the country with your family… There’s no prettier green than winter wheat fields waking from winter dormancy. And wave if you see a farmer. I guarantee they’ll wave back.
Happy Agriculture Week!

“Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals, and happiness.” Letter from Thomas Jefferson to George Washington (1787)
From 111th District State Representative Sue Boldra.
Last week was an active week for the Kansas House of Representatives. Three gun bills that secure the rights of lawful gun owners as constitutionally protected in the 2nd Amendment breezed through the house with minor opposition. This followed a complimentary knife bill passed last week. Law abiding citizens should not have their rights diminished due to the actions of criminals, who don’t consider “the law” when engaging in unlawful acts.
Much misinformation is being distributed about the Common Core standards. Enhanced rigor, flexibility, and innovation should be applauded, not derided. Kansas schools have been using the English/Literacy and Math Common Core standards (not curriculum) since 2010. That vote will take place sometime this week.
The Education Committee has heard testimony about the ability for entities, other than school districts, as is currently the rule, to organize charter schools where the per pupil state aid would follow the students. These schools, however, would not be required to hire licensed educators or abide by state laws that currently govern public education. This bill was defeated in committee by a 10-9 vote. However, a companion bill in the Senate may be allowed to go forward.
Tuesday, March 12, it was my pleasure to meet with Kelvin and DeAnn Meyers, owners and operators of Hays Fire Equipment Sales and Service, and recipients of a Ks. Small Business Development Center award for “Emerging and Existing Businesses of the Year.” Congratulations to them!
Wednesday, March 13, I was honored to help present a resolution to recognize the victims of Multiple Sclerosis and designating March 11-17 as “Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week.” Our youngest daughter is among the many individuals diagnosed with MS. We are strong supporters of the organization that seeks to find a cure for this debilitating disease. The Hays MS Walk will take place on April 6th. Come join us!
It is an honor to serve you. Please keep me informed of your concerns.
