The City of <strong>Blue</strong> <strong>Rapids</strong><br />
recived this letter from Deputy<br />
Secretary of Kansas<br />
Department Jerome T. Younger.<br />
Here is the letter:<br />
Dear Mr. Nowak:<br />
Thank you for sharing your<br />
concerns regarding detour<br />
routes for the K-9 Coon Creek<br />
Bridge replacement project in<br />
Marshall County. Safety of the<br />
traveling public is at the core of<br />
every decision that the Kansas<br />
Department of Transportation<br />
(KDOT) makes.<br />
The K-9 over Coon Creek<br />
bridge replacement project in<br />
Marshall County (KA-2101-<br />
01) is tentatively scheduled for<br />
a late fall 2014 letting with projected<br />
construction taking up to<br />
eight months maximum, weather<br />
permitting. The existing 26’<br />
wide two-girder structure is<br />
scheduled to be replaced with a<br />
36’ wide (two 12’ wide lanes<br />
with 6’ shoulders) structure.<br />
KDOT is still working on the<br />
design plans for the bridge<br />
project, thus the final construction<br />
plans, including traffic<br />
impacts, have not yet been<br />
finalized.<br />
With numerous transportation<br />
needs across the state,<br />
KDOT must make prudent,<br />
timely and cost-effective decisions<br />
that benefit the safety and<br />
driving experience for all travelers<br />
throughout our state.<br />
With that said, KDOT continues<br />
to look at ways to implement<br />
processes that provide<br />
cost-effective alternatives to<br />
highway construction projects.<br />
KDOT is planning to utilize an<br />
accelerated construction<br />
process on this bridge replacement<br />
project, which means that<br />
the majority of the bridge will<br />
be constructed off-site which<br />
will allow K-9 over Coon<br />
Creek to be closed during construction<br />
for a period of only 60<br />
<strong>Free</strong> <strong>Press</strong><br />
Vol. 3 Number 43 Thursday, April 26, 2012<br />
The Kansas Department of Transportation now say that the Coon Creek bridge one mile west of Waterville will be<br />
closed for 60 days, that is down from the eight-months that had planned. Area residents have been calling and e-mailing<br />
KDOT and the State Senator and Representative about the problems the closed bridge would bring.<br />
Bridge Work Cut To 60-Days<br />
days. A typical bridge replacement<br />
project this size typically<br />
will have the roadway closed<br />
for approximately eight months<br />
for the bridge construction.<br />
The 60-day period would be<br />
scheduled during the summer<br />
months and K-9 would be<br />
reopened before the fall school<br />
session begins.<br />
KDOT design staff have<br />
evaluated various options to<br />
handle traffic during the bridge<br />
replacement project and determined<br />
that the preferred option<br />
is to detour traffic via a designated<br />
marked route on the state<br />
highway system. As you mentioned,<br />
there is no good local<br />
detour route and phased construction,<br />
such as building the<br />
bridge half at a time is not possible<br />
due to the fact that the<br />
existing structure is a two-girder<br />
structure. A shoofly detour<br />
route was considered, but there<br />
are significant costs related to<br />
the amount of embankment<br />
needed and the large temporary<br />
drainage structures needed to<br />
appropriately accommodate the<br />
creek flows during construc-<br />
Czech Festival Is Saturday<br />
One of the events offered<br />
during the Czech Festival April<br />
28 in <strong>Blue</strong> <strong>Rapids</strong> will be<br />
“Checking your Ancestors”<br />
(Czech or otherwise). Jan<br />
Wilkes, a long time genealogist,<br />
will make a presentation at<br />
11:00 am at the Community<br />
Center on how to use the features<br />
in the free web site<br />
www.FamilySearch.org.<br />
Images from the site will be<br />
projected for all to see and ask<br />
questions. Jan will search for<br />
information on your ancestors<br />
so you have a few weeks to<br />
gather some basic information<br />
such as names and dates to start<br />
your hunt. She will also discuss<br />
subscription web sites that<br />
can be accessed in Family<br />
History Centers.<br />
At 2:00 that afternoon, the<br />
Editorial: By Jon A. Brake<br />
Well, the phone calls and e-mails from residents in Marshall<br />
and Washington Counties did some good. The Kansas<br />
Department of Transportation took a second look at the bridge<br />
one mile West of Waterville and decided that closing the highway<br />
for six to eight months might be a little too long. In this<br />
letter to the City of <strong>Blue</strong> <strong>Rapids</strong> Deputy Secretary Jerome<br />
Younger says they plan to close the bridge for 60-days rather<br />
than the 6-8 months.<br />
Yes, 60-days is better but they are still throwing traffic onto<br />
Township Roads that are not built for that kind of traffic. No<br />
one, no one from this area is going to drive to Marysville, west<br />
on US36 and than back down to Barnes or Greenleaf, that's<br />
more that 40-miles. KDOT has no concern for the people in<br />
this area. They can give millions of dollars to Kansas City,<br />
Topeka, Wichita and Manhattan to beautify the ditches but<br />
when it comes to saving lives in small counties, they do not<br />
have the money. If you feel the state needs to put in a<br />
“Shoofly” contact Mr. Younger’s two bosses:<br />
Secretary of Transportation Mike King (785) 296-3461 or<br />

Jan Wilkes has done extensive<br />
family genealogies and has<br />
a talent for turning tiny leads<br />
into a whole new branch of the<br />
family. She is related locally to<br />
the Smercheck-Pishney/Pishny<br />
families. This is a rare chance<br />
to have help from her on finding<br />
more about your ancestors.<br />

With a staff almost half the<br />
size as last yearâ€s, the<br />
seven Valley Heights<br />
Journalism staff members have<br />
been put to the test all year. The<br />
staff is responsible for photographing<br />
and writing about student<br />
academic and athletic<br />
activities. Putting this into perspective<br />
that means each journalism<br />
member is responsible<br />
for following and reporting on<br />
cost 2-3 times more than the<br />
construction of an average<br />

We also spoke with the<br />
Marshall County Emergency<br />
Manager regarding emergency<br />
services coverage for the residents<br />
of <strong>Blue</strong> <strong>Rapids</strong>,<br />
Waterville, Barnes and<br />
Greenleaf during the proposed<br />
60-day closure of K-9. All the<br />
details regarding emergency<br />
coverage during the closure<br />
have not yet been ironed out,<br />
but KDOT staff will continue<br />
to communicate with emergency<br />
services regarding the<br />
bridge closure. KDOT will<br />
also provide plenty of notice<br />
well in advance of the project<br />
start to keep the media, public<br />
and local stakeholders<br />
informed on construction phasing<br />
and traffic impacts for the<br />
project.<br />

As the school year winds<br />
down, the staff members are<br />
put into over-drive rushing to<br />
complete yearbook pages while<br />
trying to keep up with the many<br />
end-of-the-year events. The<br />
staff’s goal is to include each<br />
high school member in the<br />
yearbook three times and<br />
include as many junior high<br />
students as possible. This<br />
means working overtime,<br />
Warders, Dennis Osborne and<br />
Jan Bergkamp.<br />
In Kansas only one tree is<br />
being planted for every four<br />
removed. The national trend<br />
reveals that urban areas are<br />
expanding by 2.2 million acres<br />
each year. The values that trees<br />
provide are generally not considered<br />
as urban expansion<br />
occurs. Consequently, valuable<br />
green space is lost each year.<br />
Citizens are encouraged to<br />
thank their volunteer tree board<br />
members who serve on the<br />
city’s tree board. Arbor is April<br />

No Work If Under 16<br />
According to the Daily<br />
Caller a proposal from the<br />
Obama administration to prevent<br />
children from doing farm<br />
chores has drawn plenty of criticism<br />
from rural-district members<br />
of Congress. But now it’s<br />
attracting barbs from farm kids<br />
themselves.<br />
The Department of Labor is<br />
poised to put the finishing<br />
touches on a rule that would<br />
apply child-labor laws to children<br />
working on family farms,<br />
prohibiting them from perform-<br />
All Your Ag Needs<br />
ing a list of jobs on their own<br />
families’ land.<br />
Under the rules, children<br />
under 18 could no longer work<br />
“in the storing, marketing and<br />
transporting of farm product<br />
raw materials.”<br />
“Prohibited places of<br />
employment,” a Department<br />
press release read, “would<br />
include country grain elevators,<br />
grain bins, silos, feed lots,<br />
stockyards, livestock<br />
exchanges and livestock auctions.”<br />

These are possibly the 5 best<br />
sentences you’ll ever read:<br />
Unfortunately, most voters<br />
don’t know this.<br />
1. You cannot legislate the<br />
poor into prosperity, by legislating<br />
the wealth out of prosperity.<br />
2. What one person receives<br />
without working for, another<br />
person must work for without<br />
receiving.<br />
3. The government cannot<br />
give to anybody anything that<br />
the government does not first<br />
take from somebody else.<br />
4. You cannot multiply<br />
wealth by dividing it.<br />
5. When half of the people<br />
get the idea that they do not<br />
have to work because the other<br />
half is going to take care of<br />
them; and when the other half<br />
gets the idea that it does no<br />
good to work, because somebody<br />
else is going to get what<br />
they work for, that is the beginning<br />
of the end of any nation.<br />

prebiotics have piqued the<br />
curiosity of consumers. Many<br />
are questioning “how does<br />
ingesting live bacteria improve<br />
my health?â€<br />
Probiotics are live microorganisms<br />
with nearly 20 known<br />
species. Probiotic foods contain<br />
live bacteria, either as a<br />
result of fermentation or as an<br />
intentional addition. They are<br />
healthful for normal intestinal<br />
function and often prevent<br />
harmful bacteria from causing<br />
disease. Probiotics are present<br />
in sour cream, yogurt, buttermilk,<br />
powdered milk, frozen<br />
desserts, kefir, tempeh, miso,<br />
kim chi, sauerkraut, and other<br />
fermented foods.<br />

“We have a warm friendly home like environment that<br />
you feel when you enter the door.”<br />
Many consumers may not<br />
yet be familiar with prebiotics,<br />
the nondigestible carbohydrates<br />
that promote the growth<br />
of “good†bacteria, also<br />
called probiotics, living inside<br />
the gut. Digestion of food and<br />
absorption of nutrients primarily<br />
occur in the small intestines.<br />
However, the nondigestible<br />
carbohydrates (prebiotics)<br />
found in onions, whole grains,<br />
bananas, garlic, honey, leeks,<br />
artichokes, fortified foods and<br />
beverages, and dietary supplements<br />
are able to pass through<br />
the small intestine intact and<br />
thereby able to enter the large<br />
intestines to stimulate the<br />
growth of the bodyâ€s own<br />
natural bacteria (probiotics)<br />
living inside the colon. Since<br />
vitamins, minerals, and water<br />
are absorbed in the large intestines,<br />
prebiotics have been<br />
shown to increase the absorption<br />
of calcium and magnesium<br />
from the colon.<br />
Some researchers proposed<br />
that prebiotics may have a positive<br />
effect on the immune system<br />
and may decrease the risk<br />
for colorectal diseases.<br />
Prebiotics serve as a food<br />
source for probiotics. The probiotics<br />
feed off the prebiotics<br />
and increase in number.<br />
Different probiotics have different<br />
actions in the gut. Each<br />
probiotic species provides a<br />
distinctive health benefit.<br />
Therefore, an increase in the<br />
number of probiotics positively<br />
impacts the digestive system by<br />
improving digestive health<br />
such as reducing the symptoms<br />
of irritable bowel syndrome<br />
and inflammatory bowel diseases<br />
(i.e. Crohnâ€s disease);<br />
promoting regularity;<br />
reducing the growth of harmful<br />

bacteria; synthesizing vitamins<br />
(primarily B vitamins);<br />
decreasing lactose intolerance;<br />
improving serum cholesterol<br />
levels; and decreasing the risk<br />
of certain cancers.<br />
Synbiotics are products<br />
that contain both probiotics and<br />
prebiotics. These products have<br />
the “good†bacteria (probiotics)<br />
and the non-digestible<br />
carbohydrate source (prebiotics)<br />
to encourage the growth<br />
of beneficial bacteria.<br />
Fermented dairy products<br />
(yogurt and kefir) are synbiotic<br />
because they contain live bacteria<br />
and the food source needed<br />
for them to thrive. Without<br />
its food source, a probiotic<br />
would have a difficult time surviving<br />
in the digestive system<br />
because it cannot tolerate oxygen,<br />
low pH and temperature.<br />
Although benefits associated<br />
with prebiotics and probiotics<br />
are favorable, researchers are<br />
cautious about drawing firm<br />
conclusions because benefits<br />
vary, depending on type and<br />
amount of pre- and probiotic<br />
consumed. Therefore, more<br />
human studies need to be done<br />
to provide a better understanding<br />
of their direct effect on<br />
health.<br />
Although you don't need<br />
probiotics to be healthy, these<br />
microorganisms may assist<br />
with digestion or help protect<br />
against some harmful bacteria.<br />
Consuming foods with these<br />
bacteria may help with diarrhea<br />
after antibiotics, rotavirus<br />
infection, chemotherapy, or<br />
when traveling to other countries.<br />
It appears that the worst<br />
that can happen if you choose<br />
to eat or drink these products is<br />
that they do nothing extra for<br />
you.<br />

Wheat Leaf Diseases: To Spray or Not To Spray?<br />
Lately, I have been answering<br />
questions or identifying<br />
diseases on wheat samples<br />
brought into the Marshall<br />
County Extension Office.<br />
When discussing the wheat diseases<br />
eventually we discuss<br />
whether the wheat producer<br />
should apply a fungicide to<br />
control some of the wheat diseases<br />
or to put another way, “To<br />
Spray or Not To Spray, That Is<br />
The Question?”<br />
Our wheat crop is ahead of<br />
schedule thanks to warmer than<br />
normal temperatures in March.<br />
The return of cooler weather in<br />
early April slowed the crop’s<br />
development and has also<br />
favored the development of<br />
diseases. I am seeing a whole<br />
host of wheat diseases this year<br />
such as Barley Yellow Dwarf<br />
Virus, Wheat Streak Mosaic<br />
Virus, Stripe Rust, Powdery<br />
Mildew, and Tan Spot to name<br />
a few.<br />
The elevated disease activity<br />
has many farmers thinking<br />
about possibly using a fungicide<br />
to help protect the crop.<br />
There isn’t much we can do<br />
about viruses at this time, so<br />
let’s focus on foliar diseases.<br />
Producers have a lot of<br />
excellent fungicide options,”<br />
said Kansas State University<br />
plant pathologist, Erick De<br />
Wolf. “In my experience, based<br />
on all the data I have seen in<br />
research trials in Kansas and<br />
other states, the importance of<br />
correctly identifying situations<br />
where fungicides are needed or<br />
not needed is far greater than<br />
the choice of fungicide product.”<br />
“Most reports indicate that<br />
low levels of rust diseases can<br />
be found on the top three leaves<br />
but is probably most common<br />
on the second and third leaf<br />
down into the canopy,” said De<br />
Wolf, who is a wheat disease<br />
specialist with K-State<br />
Research and Extension.<br />
Recent requests to Marshall<br />
County Commissioners and<br />
Marysville City Council to end<br />
the local unfair intangible taxes<br />
imposed on earned interest<br />
income have been denied. Now<br />
concerned citizens are gather-<br />
Infection of the flag leaf by<br />
stripe rust has been reported in<br />
southeast and south central<br />
regions this past week. Recent<br />
reports indicate the disease is<br />
increasing rapidly in central<br />
and north central regions of the<br />
state. Tan spot and Septoria tritici<br />
blotch are at moderate levels<br />
in many fields, with infections<br />
commonly occurring on the<br />
lower leaves and mid canopy.<br />
“The excellent yield<br />
potential of many fields and<br />
emerging risk of disease has<br />
many farmers thinking about<br />
fungicide applications,” he<br />
said. “Based on the information<br />
I have to date, it appears that<br />
most areas of central Kansas<br />
are at a moderate risk for disease-related<br />
yield loss this year.<br />
I suggest that farmers scout<br />
their fields for disease and<br />
carefully evaluate the need for<br />
fungicides.”<br />
“The residual life of a fungicide<br />
is influenced by many factors,<br />
including the rate at which<br />
the product is applied, the targeted<br />
disease and the level of<br />
disease pressure,” De Wolf<br />
said. Fungicides applied at the<br />
full-labeled rate will generally<br />
have longer residual life.<br />
Fungicides will generally provide<br />
longer residual life against<br />
rust diseases (often more than<br />
21 days) than leaf spot diseases.<br />
Some products may provide<br />
additional residual life but<br />
this extra residual does not<br />
always translate into more<br />
grain yield.<br />
“The research I have<br />
reviewed indicates that fungicides<br />
listed in the publication<br />
Foliar Fungicide Efficacy<br />
Ratings for Wheat Disease<br />
Management 2012, EP130, will<br />
generally provide 21 days of<br />
solid protection against fungal<br />
diseases,” he said. “This<br />
includes products with the<br />
active ingredient tebuconazole<br />
that is listed in the table as the<br />

Golf Team Looking To Improve<br />
In a tough meet dominated<br />
by a couple larger schools, the<br />
Valley Heights golf team competed<br />
well and brought home<br />
some hardware. The “4-man”<br />
team of Brenden Dobrovolny,<br />
Patrick Hale, Levi Berger, and<br />
Alec Doner tallied a total of<br />
376 to bring home 3rd place<br />
medals in the “4-man” division.<br />
Michael Clark and Devin<br />
Griffee finished with a 225<br />
total in the two man division,<br />
good for 11th place.<br />
Overall, I was pleased with our<br />
course management and that’s<br />
an area we want to improve on.<br />
I was able to watch all of our<br />
team members make wise decisions<br />
on the course, and our<br />
scores show that we are continuing<br />
to improve.<br />

option.” The publication is<br />
online at:<br />
http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/librar<br />
y/plant2/ep130.pdf.<br />
De Wolf believes there is<br />
confusion about the preventative<br />
and curative activity of<br />
various fungicides.<br />
“All of the fungicides listed<br />
in the Foliar Fungicide Efficacy<br />
Ratings for Wheat Disease<br />
Management publication are<br />
best applied when the disease is<br />
at low levels,” the plant pathologist<br />
said. “The triazole fungicides<br />
are generally considered<br />
to provide some limited curative<br />
activity, which means they<br />
can stop the development of<br />
fungi already inside the plant.<br />
The triazole-only fungicides<br />
include products such as<br />
Prosaro, Carmaba, Tilt and<br />
Folicur. Triazole fungicides are<br />
also included in mixed modeof-action<br />
products such as<br />
Quilt Xcel, Stratego YLD, and<br />
TwinLine. Both the triazole and<br />
the mixed mode-of-action<br />
fungicides provide excellent<br />
protection against new infections<br />
that is often considered<br />
‘preventive’ activity.”<br />
“It would be an error to think<br />
that a triazole fungicide does<br />
not provide preventive activity<br />
simply because it also has curative<br />
activity,” De Wolf added.<br />
The curative activity is good<br />
thing, especially with a disease<br />
such as stripe rust where the<br />
fungus grows within the plant<br />
to cause additional expansion<br />
of the stripes.<br />
Wheat producers should<br />
consider many factors before<br />
applying a fungicide this year,<br />
such as what wheat variety(ies)<br />
were planted. Some wheat<br />
varieties such as Everest,<br />
Armour, and Art have the best<br />
leaf disease resistance of the<br />
aired this week, hopefully<br />
Wednesday and Sunday night<br />
at 9 pm. The meeting was<br />
informative and would be helpful<br />
for voters to watch.<br />
Lots of Circulators are gathering<br />
signatures to get this<br />
unfair tax abolished by the people.<br />
Most people who pay this<br />
tax are not rich, but only honest.<br />
This is a voluntary tax that<br />
is decreasing all over the state<br />
because there is no way to<br />
enforce collection.<br />
The people should come first<br />
before letting our elected officials<br />
use this intangible tax to<br />
wheat varieties that are planted<br />
in our area. Although, I have<br />
seen stripe rust on Everest. So,<br />
getting a yield response by<br />
applying a fungicide to these<br />
varieties may not pay off this<br />
year. Other wheat varieties<br />
may have a yield response to a<br />
fungicide application.<br />
Wheat stage of development<br />
is another factor to consider.<br />
Most of our wheat is in the boot<br />
to heading stages. So, the window<br />
to apply a fungicide is<br />
close to an end. The last wheat<br />
stage to apply a fungicide is<br />
when the wheat is flowering<br />
(Feekes Stage 10.5).<br />
Economics and yield potential<br />
are the final factors to consider.<br />
For example, a stripe rust<br />
susceptible variety may have a<br />
20 percent loss in yield on 50<br />
bushels per acre. The wheat<br />
yield loss would be 10 bushels<br />
per acre. At $5.50 per bushel, it<br />
would be a loss of $55 per acre,<br />
which would easily cover the<br />
cost of a fungicide application,<br />
which should cost around $25<br />
to $30 per acre. Many times<br />
with lower wheat prices, spraying<br />
a fungicide is not a paying<br />
proposition. This year, if you<br />
have a high yield potential, a<br />
susceptible rust or powdery<br />
mildew wheat variety, and diseases<br />
present in the midcanopy<br />
area are good candidates<br />
for a fungicide application.<br />
I don’t recommend spraying<br />
every wheat acre. Farmers<br />
should monitor their wheat<br />
fields because each wheat field<br />
will have different levels of disease,<br />
different varieties, have<br />
different levels of disease<br />
resistance, etc. Remember, just<br />
because your neighbor is spraying<br />
doesn’t mean you need to,<br />
but it is a good idea to monitor<br />
your wheat.<br />
extract revenue from our hard<br />
earned savings. We have<br />
looked at the county and city<br />
budgets and the county is in<br />
good shape. There is no reason<br />
for attempted scare tactics that<br />
it will raise the mill levy if the<br />
intangible tax is repealed.<br />
County Commissioners and<br />
City Council need to be responsible<br />
by balancing their budgets.<br />
Local intangible taxes are<br />
unfair and should be repealed.<br />

from you.<br />
