anhattan resident and retired Army Col. Gary LaGrange was once a garrison commander at Fort Riley. Now, he is a master beekeeper in Manhattan with a dream to help wounded veterans become farmers. About two years ago, LaGrange started a pilot program with the Warrior Transition Battalion on Fort Riley, he said. Warrior Transition Battalions “provide personalized support to wounded, ill and injured soldiers who require at least six months of rehabilitative care and complex medical management,” according to the “Warrior Transition Units” page of the Warrior Transition Command’s website. Some of the soldiers in the Warrior Transition Battalion are transitioning out of the Army back to civilian life. LaGrange said he spent two tours in Vietnam, one tour in Laos in a special operations unit and retired from a 28-year career in the Army. “There probably hasn’t been a day where I haven’t flashbacked or thought of those things that occurred over there, and they’re not always pleasant,” LaGrange said. “It just seemed to me that I felt an obligation to help these folks out, knowing what they’ve experienced, knowing the demons that they are confronted with.” LaGrange said he met with Jill Sump, a Warrior Transition Battalion occupational therapist,

LaGrange teaches Warrior Transition Battalion soldiers how to beekeep, feed bees and harvest honey. who oversees his pilot program. After LaGrange spoke with Sump about the therapeutic benefits of working with bees, they started building on the idea of introducing agriculture to transitioning service members. “Some of the soldiers were interested in getting into some type of an agriculture career when they transitioned out,” Sump said. “So we worked with (LaGrange) to help set up about 25 different agriculture tours in the area so that the soldiers can be exposed to all sorts of different op-
erations. We had these tours and then from there, a couple people were interested specifically in the beekeeping and so that’s how we started an internship. (LaGrange) was willing to mentor those individuals in addition to giving them resources for education.”
STAGES OF THE BEEKEEPING INTERNSHIP
LaGrange said he works with Warrior Transition Battalion soldiers interested in beekeeping two or three times a week, teaching
them how to feed bees and harvest honey. The beekeeping internship is set up in three stages: apprenticeship, journeyman and master in beekeeping. Apprentice-level beekeeping is an understanding of beekeeping, learning to work with bees and how to manage them at a basic level, LaGrange said. Journeyman-level beekeeping is learning to understand and diagnose the diseases bees carry and how to treat them, LaGrange said. see page

Staley School Ambassadors host Paint the Park event KARA TANNER the collegian
Staley School Ambassadors will host Paint the Park in partnership with Manhattan Parks and Recreation Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Frank Anneberg Park. Frank Anneberg Park has undergone some major renovations recently, which include four new synthetic turf infields at the Twin Oaks Sports Complex, one large soccer field of synthetic turf and the resurfacing of the material at the accessible playground, according to Casey Smithson, Manhattan Parks and Recreation superintendent. The students will help paint the buildings at the park to freshen up the presentation and make it more aesthetically pleasing. “We really wanted to implement a service event that every organization on campus could get involved in,” Colby Haverkamp, senior in communication studies and president of the Staley School Ambassadors, said. “There has been an outcry from students that there is not enough intermixing between organizations, and

Haverkamp said he then reached out to Man-
hattan Parks and Recreation for service project ideas that could benefit the entire Manhattan community. “I am always pleased when a student or civic organization reaches out to me in order to help us provide safe and clean park and recreation facilities,” Smithson said. “Anneberg is a highly utilized park with hundreds of community members

participating in one of the many outdoor opportunities available.” Frank Anneberg Park serves as the primary location for softball and soccer leagues in Manhattan. The park offers additional trail and fishing pond access as well as open green space to enjoy the outdoors, Smithson said. When the students arrive on site, they will be split into groups and
each group will be led by a Staley School Ambassador. Haverkamp said the goal is to get students who have never interacted with each other before to meet and build relationships through service. “Anneberg was selected due to major renovations being done to athletic fields in the park, and we want to address as many aesthetic items as possible to coincide with the large work,” Smithson said. Haverkamp said students from all organizations and affiliations are invited to volunteer at the event. “Ultimately, I just really hope students can come together and show everyone what it means to be ‘family’ here at K-State,” Haverkamp said. Lily Anderson, freshman in business administration and member of Delta Delta Delta, said she heard about the event through her sorority. “It sounded like a fun event to be involved in,” Anderson said. “As a freshman, it is difficult to step out of your box, but I think it is important to be involved because it has been one of the main reasons K-State felt like home to me so quickly.”

Tap to Togetherness connects families KELSEY KENDALL the collegian
S
ince fall 2014, the K-State Tap Dance Ensemble has worked with USD 383 Manhattan-Ogden Parents as Teachers to create a program that helps families get away from their phones and bond through tap dance, Julie Pentz, dance director and associate professor, said. Tap to Togetherness not only helps bring families together, it also helps K-State undergraduate students conduct research over how families interact when doing activities together. Tap to Togetherness is geared toward families involved with Parents as Teachers with children from birth to 3 years old, Pentz said. “This is a family activity,” Pentz said. “This is something they do together. The families are not just dropping off their children to do Tap to Togetherness.” Pentz said there were objectives when starting the research involved with Tap to Togetherness, but the findings have gone beyond what she had expected when starting off. “It has bonded these families,” Pentz said.
Though the original objective of this research was to find ways to enhance family relationships, Pentz said the program has begun to get people away from their phones during the 20-25 minute sessions. “We used to see more texting — a lot of texting — during the session, but we really don’t see that anymore,” Janice Schroeder, Parents as Teachers educator, said. “Screens are left in their pockets.” Schroeder said throughout the program, she and others doing research on the sessions have found that people have been using their phones less and less as time goes on. Parents and children alike are focusing more on each other and the instructors. Beyond just getting families away from their phones for the sessions, Pentz said this program is also helpful in helping families notice any sensory needs in children at an early age. This can help with any focus issues or any development stages children are supposed to go through at certain times in their lives. “It’s great to see them (the families) get involved together,” Caitlyn Vohs, 2015 K-State graduate, said. Vohs helps teach the sessions and said she enjoys working with
the children and seeing them improve week to week. Vohs said the program has grown since its first semester, which was four semesters ago, and there is even a waiting list to get into the program. She said the collaboration with Parents as Teachers has been very useful in conducting research. “(The research is) to show these parents noticing their kids, listening to their kids and paying attention to their children is helping their connections as families,” Vohs said. Since the program is growing, Vohs said she would like to help Tap to Togetherness expand to Topeka, where she currently lives. She and Pentz are working to help the program, now only located in Manhattan, get started in other cities. “It’s just a matter of time and resources,” Pentz said. Pentz said she would like to see Tap to Togetherness grow not only nationally, but internationally. She said she is already establishing relationships in Ghana to etablish the program there. She and other faculty members will travel to Ghana this May to share Tap to Togetherness, but no students will be joining them on the trip. Hannah Yeoman, junior in
fisheries, wildlife and conservation biology, said she is one of the students helping conduct research. She helps record videos of every session for the future publication of findings. Yeoman has received a schol-
arship for the College of Arts of Sciences for her research with Tap to Togetherness, so the families are not the only people benefitting from the program, Pentz said. “This is a really good research opportunity,” Yeoman said.
K-State works to stay up-to-date on new drone policies ston, junior in mass communications, said. Johnston said she has been the owner of a DJI Phantom 2 Vision drone for about one year and has since paid close attention to the FAA guidelines.

Students who were given a drone from a parent or loved one for Christmas may have the inclination to fly the device outside their dorm or around campus; however, the Federal Aviation Administration’s guidelines for hobbyists and the safety risks involved are things students may wish to consider. As far as regulations go, there are no laws pertaining to the flight of a drone if it is for recreational use. According to the FAA’s official website, however, there are specific guidelines that hobbyists are advised to follow. Some of these include flying no higher than 400 feet, avoiding intentional flight over unprotected people and keeping the drone within eyesight while flying. There are no current policies regarding drone flight on campus, according to Jeffery Morris, vice president for communications and marketing at K-State. The university does promote the guidelines provided by the FAA, which are likely to change as soon as next fall, along with campus policies, Morris said.
staff members who take videos and photographs for the university’s use, bystanders have little to worry about, Morris said. Every staff member who uses a drone has been trained at the Salina campus. “Drones are a fast-growing trend, but we are very active and have very fast growth at the Kansas State Polytechnic Center,” Morris said. “We are also using the devices on
this campus for research purposes in several areas, including agriculture and engineering.” With the industry taking off and rules and regulations changing regularly through the FAA, K-State is working to stay up-to-date with current policies, Morris said. “We don’t have all the answers, but we are working on it,” Morris said.

Nicholas Patterson, senior in mass communcations, flies a Parrott Rolling Spider Drone through a hoop in the gym of Eisenhower Middle School on Tuesday. Patterson is enrolled in MC 589, Issues in Mass Communications, where students study the use of drones in journalism. “Policies (for drone flight) are still under consideration,” Morris said. “It’s a complex issue. Safety is our first concern, but we also have privacy concerns.” Some K-State students also said they think safety is important when it comes to drone usage. “It’s like a flying lawn mower,” Nick Homburg, graduate student in mass communications, said. “I think the
FAA needs stricter regulations for recreational users.” Homburg said he is researching the ethical perceptions of drones in journalism, and he suggests new owners take lessons at the local hobby shop before flying for the first time. “It doesn’t really concern me if other students fly on campus, as long as they are being safe and know what they are doing,” Katie John-

tudents scrambled in search of around 1,000 Easter eggs that were hidden by Union Program Council members and volunteers all over campus Tuesday. It was the third annual Easter egg hunt, Molly Young, co-chair of the UPC Community Committee and junior in marketing, said. “Our UPC members helped us out by stuffing the eggs,” Hannah Vu, UPC Community Committee co-chair and junior in mass communications, said. UPC co-chairs, committee members and volunteers hid the eggs starting at 6:50 a.m. Tuesday morning, which took them around an hour, Young said. “Every year there seems to be groups of people that wake up early to go find eggs,” Vu said. Students who found eggs that had a ticket in them got their names put in a drawing Tuesday evening at the UPC All Meeting. Their names were selected at random, and they got to choose the prize they wanted. The prizes consisted of candy, bowling cou-

pons, a hammock, a Fitbit and more. Erin Kimberling, senior in dietetics, said she woke up at 6:45
a.m. for this event with two of her friends, Alison Martin, senior in family studies, and Holly Heironimus, senior in psychology. This
was their first time participating in the campus egg hunt, Kimberling said. “We got up really early, ready
to run,” Martin said. “We all put our running clothes on this morning and literally sprinted to campus for the eggs. We ran for the prize. I got 13 things of free bowling, so we’re taking the whole neighborhood.” Participating in the campus Easter egg hunt allowed students to revisit childhood memories and have fun, Heironimus said. “We had a lot of zeal this year to go and find a lot of eggs,” Heironimus said. “I’m a senior in college and I still feel like a 12 year old. It’s just kind of manifesting the child within you. Just go on an Easter egg hunt and you can just ignore your responsibilities.” Egg hunt organizers did not have a completely accurate way to keep count of all the eggs, but they believe all of them were found, Young said. Any other eggs containing a prize ticket found throughout the week are no longer valid because all prizes were given out Tuesday evening, according to Young.

At this level, he teaches soldiers how to process honey, propolis and beeswax. The veterans are also taught the commercial standards at which honey is processed, properly bottled and labeled. LaGrange said he intends to teach the master beekeeping level once his dream farm is operational. This stage goes into great detail on the marketing of products of the hives and provides extensive knowledge about large beekeeping operations that range from a minimum of 300 bee colonies to many thousands of bee colonies. Students at this level will learn in further detail the anatomy of the bee and to diagnose under a microscope all of the various diseases and conditions that bees can have.
S.A.V.E. FARM
The pilot program that provides these veterans with beekeeping internships with the Warrior Transition Battalion is the seed of what is to come, LaGrange said. LaGrange said his ultimate dream is to build a farm and rehabilitation center for wounded veterans to learn every aspect of agriculture through a program he calls the S.A.V.E. Farm, or Soldier Agricultural Vocational Education Farm. LaGrange intends for the farm to include a center with classrooms, housing for veterans, a clinic, a chapel, sheds for farming equipment, a metalworking shop, a commercial kitchen, 30 acres of crops and barns for livestock. The farm will also include a welcoming center for the public to purchase vegetables, fruit, honey and other products the veterans will make on the farm. “That is the major effort that we have underway, and it’s going to take us several years to do that,” LaGrange said. “But we have a fairly extensive business plan that is being refined every day and we’re well on the way.” LaGrange said his goal for the farm is to take wounded veterans who want to transition into a career in agriculture and fill the ranks of farmers who will retire in the next 20 years. The majority of current farmland is owned by farmers who are over the age of 55, and half of all current farmers will likely retire in the next decade, according to the Center for Rural Affairs. “Over this next decade and a half, we need a million farmers,” LaGrange said. “And now with a million and half veterans and 800,000 transitioning military, we have a golden opportunity to help those that are wanting to get into agriculture get there, to train them in farming so that they can take over farms that are soon to go out of the family.” Over the last two years, LaGrange said he and the wounded veterans he mentors in beekeeping have produced 5,400 pounds of honey from the 43 hives LaGrange manages throughout Manhattan. The soldiers bottle the honey, and so far, their honey sales have grossed about $35,000. The honey is called Golden Prairie Honey Farms and LaGrange said it is currently the S.A.V.E. Farm’s main source of income. “Dollars are all used to take care of the bees, sustain the bees, and I also use some of the dollars to provide books to soldiers, to provide some equipment to soldiers, to also help pay the lunches that we require when we do farm tours,” LaGrange said. “So it all goes back into the soldiers’ program. I tell the soldiers that those are their bees and their beehives.”
LAGRANGE IMPACTS VETERANS’ LIVES
In October 2015, two soldiers from the Warrior Transition Battalion, retired Army Sgt. Donald Downey and retired Army Chief Warrant Officer John Ulrick, were learning about beekeeping with LaGrange during their transition from long careers in the Army. Both soldiers are over the age of 50, and both have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress dis-

order. “(LaGrange) actually was a life saver because he was the one that actually gave me direction, focus and stability, or helped me get that with beekeeping and farming,” Downey said. “He was actually a mentor to me, especially with veterans with PTSD— they need a mentor, somebody that they can talk to and vent to and just release to, and not be judged or criticized for what they have.” In the Army, Downey was a military policeman, an artilleryman and a chaplain’s assistant, but he said he was medically retired from the Army after 15 years of service due to arthritis and a condition known as vasovagal syncope, which causes blackouts. He said both conditions prevented him from continuing his career as a soldier. While at the Warrior Transition Battalion, Ulrick said he had worked with LaGrange for over a year when Downey joined them. “It was kind of difficult because I’m a senior guy, and I just turned 60 years old,” Ulrick said. “I met (LaGrange) 18 months ago or two years ago, and we kind of hit it off.” Ulrick retired after almost 33 years of service, a transition he said he was not ready to make. He said he met LaGrange at the Warrior Transition Battalion while spending a year recovering from neck surgery for an injury he sustained in Afghanistan. During his career in the Army, Ulrick said he served in a special operations unit as a mechanical engineer and helicopter pilot. “I was a warrior,” Ulrick said. “I was a special operations guy and all I wanted to do is track down bad guys. There’s a time that comes in your life when you can’t do that anymore. I have a lot of experience with equipment and livestock and those types of things. I didn’t know exactly what I was going to do. (LaGrange) also shared with me some of his own experience as far as what it was like for him to do his own transition and so it did make it easier for me.” Read more about Ulrick and LaGrange’s experience in Thursday’s Collegian and online.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION RECEIVES MULTIMILLIONDOLLAR GIFT
The Greater Manhattan Community Foundation board announced its receipt of a multimillion-dollar gift during the foundation’s annual meeting Monday night. Jodi Kaus, foundation board chair, informed the nearly 500 attendees of the more-than $6 million donation from the estate of Lincoln and Dorothy Diehl. The donation is the first installment of what will potentially amount to over $11 million, according to the Little Apple Post. “This was a gift that resulted from a relationship the Diehls had with the Community Foundation since 2008,” Kaus said. “The Diehls established two funds with the community foundation: a Designated Fund that supported the Beach Museum of Art and a Donor Advised Fund that they used to support community charitable causes.” According to the Little Apple Post, the gift will be added to the Lincoln and Dorothy Diehl Advised Fund and will support Diehl’s designated interests of the arts, as well as youth and basic human needs in the community.

Batcats score 11 in win against Mavericks AVERY OSEN the collegian
I
t was a game the Wildcats had been longing for. An 11-3 win for K-State in an offensive explosion on Tuesday against the University of Nebraska Omaha inside Tointon Family Stadium ended a seven-game losing streak for the Wildcats. “It was good to see us offensively tonight,” head coach Brad Hill said. “Our losing streak wasn’t because of lack of trying, but tonight we just grinded it out and now we need to string some games together.” The Wildcats are now 12-13 on the season and recorded their first win since March 16 after being swept this past weekend by Oklahoma State. K-State got the scoring started in the second inning after three straight singles by senior catcher Tyler Moore, junior infielder Steve Serratore and a RBI single by senior outfielder Danny Krause put the Wildcats up 1-0. Wildcat junior infielder Jake Wodtke had a game that he will remember for a long time. He went 3-3 on the night after a single that scored Serratore in the second inning to give the Wildcats a two-run advantage. The Wildcats leaned on Moore, Serratore and Wodtke, who all had singles that scored a run, and put three more scores on the board to give the Wildcats a 5-0 lead after three innings of play. Wodtke was in the middle of the action yet again in the fifth inning. There were runners on first and second, and he hit a three-run home run to give the Wildcats an 8-0 lead. This was his first home

We just need to keep this going for the next couple of weeks.” The very next batter was fresh-
man outfielder Michael Smith, who walked and then stole second and third before being hit in by senior outfielder Clayton Dalrymple’s double to give the Wildcats a ninerun advantage. Two batters later, freshman catcher Josh Rolette hit a double, scoring Dalrymple to put the Wildcats up 10-0 going into the sixth
inning. Wildcat freshman pitcher Logan Wiley threw five innings of shutout ball and only allowed three hits and one walk in the winning effort. Junior pitcher Nick Jones had a good outing, as he provided three strikeouts in 1.1 innings and closed the game out for K-State.
K-State will host Oral Roberts at 4:05 p.m. today in Manhattan before traveling to Lubbock, Texas, to take on Texas Tech this weekend. “We need to make a quick turnaround and get a scouting report,” Hill said. “Oral Roberts is good and beat plenty of Big 12 teams these past two weeks, so it will be tough.”
K-State baseball hopes to build on confidence-boosting win RILEY GATES the collegian
If there is one thing the K-State baseball team will not be lacking entering tonight’s game, it’s confidence. After dropping seven straight games, the Wildcats, 12-13 and 0-3 in the Big 12, got back on their feet on Tuesday night when they defeated the University of Nebraska Omaha 11-3. “We’ve had some big wins here at K-State, but I don’t necessarily know that they’ve felt this good,” senior outfielder Clayton Dalrymple said. “We had that monkey on our back and we just needed a big one.” Now just less than 24 hours after their battle with the Mavericks, the Wildcats will take on Oral Roberts University. “We’ve just got to make a quick turnaround, get a scouting report put together and do the best you can,” K-State head coach Brad Hill said. “Oral Roberts is a good club, and they’ve beat plenty of Big 12 teams in midweek. So it’s going to be a tough go tomorrow.” The Golden Eagles are 13-10 overall and 4-2 in the Summit League. It will be the

The Cats snapped their seven-game losing streak with the victory and moved to 12-13 on the season. first time these two teams have faced each other since the 2006 season, a matchup the Golden
Eagles came out on top of. The recent history between the teams has not been
in the Wildcats’ favor. K-State will look to defeat Oral Roberts for the first time since May 11,
1997. Sophomore pitcher Cale Tims will be doing the honors
for the Golden Eagles today. Tims enters the contest with high success. He has started just two games this season but has been the victor in both outings. In the 13.1 innings he has pitched this season, Tims has given up just 11 hits and three runs for a 2.03 ERA. One player for K-State who will look to have success on Tims will be Dalrymple. He has been K-State’s source of offense recently. Since March 18, Dalrymple has recorded a .379 batting average with four doubles, three walks and six runs scored. He continued that success on Tuesday night, going 3-for-4 at the plate, scoring two runs and one RBI. “The approach has just been getting my foot down on time for that fastball and then I can react to whatever comes next,” Dalrymple said. “I’m not trying to be too aggressive, but I’m not trying to be unaggressive.” Freshman pitcher Jacob Ruder will take the mound for the Wildcats. Ruder has not had the same success as his opponent. He will enter the game with an 0-2 record and a 7.36 ERA that looks promising for the Golden Eagles’ bats. First pitch at Tointon Family Stadium is set for 4:05 p.m. today.
