Neighbors report dogs again Owner charged By Marione Martin The Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office has received seven separate complaints about dogs belonging to Dustin Soles running loose in Nescatunga that were barking loudly and exhibiting vicious behavior. According to documents in the case, the sheriff’s office was most recently contacted on May 23 about a brown pit bull on Windmill Lane. Deputy Blake Trekell responded to the call. Earlier, on Dec. 16, 2012, a citizen reported that two dogs owned by Soles got out of the fence and attacked another dog. After several complaints and reports of vicious behavior, on May 8 Soles was issued a notice that deemed his dogs to be “potentially dangerous” and that he must take the necessary steps to confine and control the dogs. He was also told that if the dogs caused further disturbance or nuisance, they could be seized. When Trekell arrived at the residence in Nescatunga, he recognized the dog running loose in the neighborhood as belonging to Soles and matching the description of the one reported. To check the dog’s mannerisms, Trekell stepped out of his vehicle and tried to approach the animal in a friendly way. Trekell reported the dog approached within three feet of him, lowered itself to the ground and began to growl and crawl toward him. Trekell retreated to his patrol car. The location was approximately one block from Soles’ residence. Trekell drove up the street and talked to a woman who said she was outside while her granddaughter rode her bike.

The dog came up to them growling and acting aggressively. Trekell went back to Soles’ residence to talk him about the dog. When he was about 10 feet into the yard, the dog again lowered its back, growled and lunged at him. Trekell deployed pepper spray in the dog’s face. The dog turned away for a short period, but when Trekell knocked on the door the dog returned and had to be sprayed again. Soles was not at home but was working in Jet. Trekell contacted him by
phone, and Soles arrived about 40 minutes later. Trekell issued him a notice to appear for disturbing the peace based on his animal’s clear and obvious threat to human safety and health. Soles claims the dogs are his property and responsibility and says his dogs wouldn’t hurt anyone. He said it’s just everyone’s dislike for the breed based on stereotypes about it. On May 29, Dustin Wayne Soles, 34, was formally charged with disturbing the peace, a misdemeanor.

Alva schools hire 10 new teachers By Lynn L. Martin The Alva Board of Education met Monday night and hired the following teachers: Tabitha Carothers, Kelsey Yarbrough, Crystal Perrin, Madison Malone, Kasey Adair, Rhett Wooten, Kandee Almgren, Sara Eckhardt, Audra Olive and Hattie Pfleider Potter. Not all were present at the meeting so the photo listing is incomplete. In other personnel matters, the board accepted the resignation of April Kisling, English teacher, and Donna Fearing, interventionist. A non-certified computer specialist, Mark Carroll, was hired to replaced Mason Lindquist who took a job at Banc-
Central. Tammy Duncan, Alva Middle School counselor, will be moved to the counselor position at the high school that opened up after the retirement of D Major. The teachers and support personnel received a $500 year-end bonus if they attended the Tornado Precautions and Information in-service meeting that was held on May 24. A few teachers were unable to attend, but if they make up the inservice by no later than June 15 they can still receive the stipend. Superintendent Steve Parkhurst recalls the last time the district awarded a stipend was in 1997. Tornado Preparedness In discussing the matter of tornado
preparedness, Board Member Lynda Martin asked the superintendent what the tornado plans were for each site. Most school buildings in the district have basement areas. The high school has several classrooms in a basement area; the middle school has basement level sports dressing rooms. Lincoln School has low level classrooms dug into the hill.

Interesting look at Alva’s marketing territory By Lynn L. Martin A consultant by the name of Ray Murphy talked to a group of interested citizens who had signed up to hear his free report about population and economic trends in the Alva area. The seminar was hosted by the Alva Chamber of Commerce. The documentation handed out included a 30-minute-drive map (see map) of people who reside in the likely Alva market area. Then there were other reports showing population changes, transient and seasonal population, housing value summary, education attainment and economic summary. I was intrigued that we deliver the Newsgram each week in 100 percent of the likely marketing area told by Ray Murphy. He determined his map
by a sophisticated computer data use. Over the years, we have determined our circulation choices by practical feedback. I was amazed at how closely they matched up. I’m not sure if anybody left the meeting encouraged about the population trends. The documentation showed that in the trade area, the 2000 census was
13,837. The fourth quarter estimate for 2012 was 13,367, and the projection for 2017 was 13,135. I find it interesting that females represented 47.61 percent of the 2012 population with a median age of 43. Males represented 52.39 percent of the population with a median age of 35 See Says Page 22

Cherokee school accepts resignations By Lynn L. Martin The Cherokee Board of Education accepted resignations from four employees at its Monday night meeting. Half-time English teacher Nancy Smith stepped down in order to care for grandchildren, paraprofessional Ashley Ryel resigned, as did Don Farmer. Madison Malone resigned to take a job in Alva, where she lives. Superintendent Cory Ellis said early in the meeting that the district was planning not to replace some of the individuals resigning in order to reign in expense. Of the four, only Madison Malone will be replaced. Two copier vendors were sent home. An agenda item calling for the superintendent’s recommendation on a copier purchase was tabled because price quotes had been taken and Ellis preferred to have complete sealed bids. Ellis read off the temporary appropriation list for next year as supplied by the auditor. The general fund was $2,172,732,
the building fund was $125,312, the child nutrition fund was $95,861, the equipment bond fund was $3,786, the building bond fund was $21,216, the transportation bond was $1,800, the insurance fund was $42,220 and the gift fund was $50,000. The superintendent said this year’s senior class had 15 students. Next year, and in future years, it appears the class sizes will closer to 25, so the school will reclaim some classroom space that has been diverted to other uses. He also told the board that they are looking to obtain a couple more video security cameras, as instances of vandalism keep occurring. More recently, vandalism occurred in the parking lot. Also, the district is planning to obtain a larger computer server so that more students can be working simultaneously. Kayla Puffinbarger reported the various funds in May of this year compared to May of last year. The general fund

stands at $818,568, which is $275,520 higher than last year. The building fund stands at $73,732, which is an increase over last year of $5,237. The sinking fund is $271,351, an increase of $108,445. This means the district is better off by $444,970 than a year ago. Cory Ellis said, “We are looking good financially.” The board went into executive session to discuss employment of non-certified personnel. Those included as exempt were Sharon Inman, Judy Porter and Kayla Puffinbarger. Those listed as non-exempt included Paula Alford, E.J. Diel, Dale Duggins, Gary Goeken, Amber Green, Kandice Heintze, Robert Kramer, Amy Leslie, Angie Mathis, Carolyn Mathis, Hazel Ponce, Jennifer Roach, Connie Roberts, Tyler Ward and Debbie Wilson. Principal Jeremy Hickman mentioned that his recently deceased grandfather played a part in establishing a CPS Hall of Fame some time ago and had mentioned not too long ago that he’d like to see some progress on electing those to be honored. So Hickman told the board he would be moving forward with that. The board had approved the plan some time ago. After the executive session, all the non-certified personnel were rehired. Pay schedules were set to keep the office help’s pay competitive with similar jobs in the community: compensation for Judy Porter, encumbrance clerk and payroll, is at $35,950; that for Kay Puffinbarger, treasurer, billing and activities account custodian, was set at $31,975; pay for Sharon Inman, lead custodian, was set at $32,400.

Waynoka football field Progress made in large nearing completion By Alex Cole The Waynoka Board of Education held its regular meeting Monday. Superintendent Peggy Constien made a report on renovations to the football field. Moody Electric worked the field on Monday. They dug trenches and installed wiring for the 25-second clock. They will return to run electricity to the bleachers, which were in hazardous condition due to exposed wires. The scoreboard will be hung on Wednesday and has been moved to the east side of the field. Litzenberger Construction has agreed to supply sand to help level the field. Champions Athletic Turf and Landscape will do the work on the field, such as leveling and aerating. They also advised the board to host a minimal number of events on the field to prolong its life. Constien also announced her acceptance of a job in Elk City as the director of special education. “Elk City is where I started my career, and I’m going to finish it at Elk City,” she said. She will begin her new job July 1. “I have very
good memories of Waynoka, and I thank you for that,” she added. Following approval of the consent agenda, the board voted to approve the emergency transfer of a student. Constien said the student has already enrolled in Waynoka schools, but it was not completed during open transfers. The board then went on to approve an investment agreement with the Major County treasurer and temporary appropriations for the 2013-2014 fiscal year. They also voted for a contract with Weber Solutions for the 20132014 school year. Constien said Waynoka Schools have used this company for technology for 10 years. She said, “His prices have gone up, but there’s not many people out there who can do school stuff.” The board members also voted to declare items from the family and consumer science classroom as surplus. After approval of the encumbrances, the board voted to employ Scott Kysar, Tyson Tackett and Beau Westfahl as the 2013-2014 summer maintenance staff.
SW Kansas hay fire
MOSCOW, Kan. (AP) — Crews in southwest Kansas are trying to salvage at least some hay from a fire that has burned thousands of bales so far. About 51,000 bales owned by Abengoa Bioenergy and Cattle Empire have been burning since May 28 near Moscow in Stevens County. Fire Chief Darroll Munson told the Garden City Telegram (http://bit. ly/18L9OBx ) that nearly 18,000 additional hay bales may be saved. Munson said Monday that crews made progress on the blaze over the weekend and expected have the entire fire extinguished in the coming days. Heavy equipment was brought in over the weekend to tear down the bigger stacks of bales in effort to subdue the fire. Munson said firefighters were no longer working 12-hour shifts but were going out in small teams to spot check the blaze every hour. Munson said many homes in Moscow suffered smoke damage but no homes were lost and no injuries were reported. High winds that fire officials anticipated over the weekend didn’t materialize, aiding efforts to battle the blaze and keep residents in their homes. “It could be worse. We could have lost homes, but the good Lord blessed us,” Munson said. “We are very thankful that no one was injured and that there was no loss of homes or equipment.” A preliminary report indicated that the fire was caused by lightning but Munson said Monday those reports haven’t been confirmed and an investigation continues. Messages left seeking additional information Tuesday from Stevens County officials weren’t returned. Fire crews from Stevens County were aided by crews from Morton, Grant, Finney, Haskell and Seward counties in southwest Kansas, as well as Texas County, Okla., Hooker, Okla., and Tyron, Okla. Firefighters from the surrounding communities were released from duty in Moscow on Friday.

Let’s have a safe and accident-free harvest.
15 harvest safety tips include: --Turn off equipment when working around it. Turn the tractor off every time you get off. --Stay hydrated. Take a jug of water with you. --Take periodic breaks from doing repetitive tasks. --Complete a thorough safety check on all equipment before you use it. --Wear sunscreen and a hat. --Make sure all shields and guards are in place on your equipment. Replace those that are worn or missing. --Make sure your Slow Moving Vehicle emblem is visible and properly placed. --Carry a charged cell phone with you. --Make sure someone knows what field you're in, and that you have set a time you'll return home. --Don't wear loose fitting clothes. They can become entangled in moving equipment such as a PTO shaft. --Never allow extra riders. One seat on a tractor means one person should be on that tractor. --Have rollover protective structures (ROPS) installed on all tractors. --Wear your seatbelt (only on ROPS equipped tractors). --Be considerate of traffic when you're on the road with your equipment.
Safety Tips for Motorists
Our legislature has laws in place favoring farm equipment on our highways. Harvest only lasts a short amount of time so you can be patient. ALWAYS slow down when seeing obvious farm equipment on the roads. Big grain hauling trucks cannot stop on a dime. Be kind and be safe.

Brush rig approved for Jet Rescue By Alex Cole The purchase of a brush rig was approved at a regular meeting held by the Alflafa County commissioners on Monday. Blanchat Manufacturing of Harper, Kan., submitted a bid for $162,738 to the commissioners, but some extra features included in that total were removed by the board. They agreed to pay a total of $143,925. The commissioners then approved monthly officer reports and appropriations. There were no lapsed appropria-
tions. Monthly highway expenditures and the allocation of alcohol beverage tax were also motioned for approval. The commissioners voted to go out on bids for two buildings. One building measuring 40x60 will be used by the sheriff’s office as a storage unit. The other building, which will measure 40x80, will replace a building in District 2 that was declared unsafe by the insurance adjustor due to damage caused by the snow storms earlier this year.
The board also approved a resolution for the disposal of equipment. A lease purchase agreement was signed and approved for the five semi trucks purchased from Enid Mack Sales during last week’s meeting. The commissioners approved 19 road crossing permits for Alfalfa County totaling $30,750. Ten permits were submitted for District 1 and totaled $13,750. Six permits were sent for District 2 at $14,250. There were only three permits submitted for District 3 at a total of $2,750.
Party bus company told to shut down after fatality KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A party bus from which a Kansas woman fell to her death last month is so unsafe that it cannot be operated even without passengers, federal regulators said in an order to the bus’ Olathe-based owner. The U.S. Department of Transportation issued the order last week to Midnight Express LLC, which owns the bus. Jamie Frecks, 26, of Edwardsville, fatally fell out of the bus on May 4 during a rolling bachelorette party with 16 of her friends, The Kansas City Star reported (http://bit.ly/11V1sa9). The order and accompanying news release said the company had so completely ignored federal safety standards as to “substantially increase the likelihood of serious injury or death.” Frecks, the mother of a 2-month-old girl, died after falling out the back door of the 1999 wheelchair van-turned-party
bus and being struck by at least three vehicles, the Kansas Highway Patrol determined. A lawyer for some of the other passengers on the bus that night said Frecks tumbled through an old wheelchair ac-

years. Could it be the BJCC population of males caused that difference? The fourth quarter estimate for race and ethnicity is as follows: white 89.01 percent, black 2.24 percent, Asian 0.61 percent, other race 4.01 percent and Hispanic 4.13 percent. Regarding income, we have 202 people in the trade territory with an income of $150,00 or more. But the average household income is $57,087, the average median household income is $45,961 and the per capita income is $23,279, up from $16,512 in the 2000 census. The average home value in fourth
quarter 2012 was $93,385 while the median home value for the same period was $66,787. The educational attainment for fourth quarter 2012 was displayed as follows: professional 0.9 percent, master’s 7.4 percent, 9-12 7.2 percent, associate’s 4.1 percent, doctorate 0.8 percent, high school 33.2 percent, bachelor’s 17.5 percent, less that 9th grade 3.5 percent, and some college 25.6 percent. Finally, while there are many more statistics, I found it interesting to learn there are 432 workplace establishments within the 30-minute driving range of Alva.

Auditor gives ‘positive bottom line’ and sees ‘decline in patient volume’ Kiowa District Hospital annual audit report By Yvonne Miller An estimated 55 people attended the annual meeting of the Kiowa District Hospital (KDH) held at Kiowa’s Community Building the evening of May 21. Earlier that day KDH held its annual customer appreciation luncheon there and served about 250 people. As reported in a separate story, the board seats up for reelection were held by Robert Armbruster and Lori Schrock. Armbruster had announced he would not run again for the seat. Native Kiowan and semi-retired pharmacist Jim Parker was nominated for the position and elected by acclamation. Schrock also announced earlier she would not run again for the seat as she and her family are moving. However at the annual meeting Schrock announced that they are co-locating and she feels she can make time to still serve on the board. Local business owner Chantae Simpson was nominated for the seat. The race was close with Schrock winning 30 votes cast by patrons at the meeting to Simpson’s 25. All board members attended the meeting including Zack Odell, Robert Armbruster, Lori Schrock, Robert Stark and Dan Lukins. Annual Audit John Harris of BKD presented the 2012 annual audit report for the hospital. Harris said, “A decline in patient volume is a real issue.” He said the lower numbers are “a trend across the state (of Kansas),” pointing out the layoffs by Via Christi in Wichita. He mentioned the district’s
outstanding payables, near half a million in accounts receivable and some other expenses. However, Harris noted that presently the district is owed nearly one half million dollars in Medicare reimbursements, which will help the lower-than-usual cash balance, and CD’s, which were just $33,700 at the end of 2012. At the end of 2011, cash and CD’s totaled $305,099. Part of the low cash balance was due to the hospital’s government-mandated implementation of electronic health records. The price tag was $590,000 for implementation of the electronic health records computer software. Harris said this was part of the Affordable Care Act. By implementing this system, the hospital saw reimbursement of $399,046, which is roughly 65 percent of the cost, District Chief Executive Director Alden “Van” Vandeveer said in his annual report. Before tax revenue was added in for 2012, the hospital and clinic showed a net loss from operations of $383,091. Non-operating revenue, which is mainly tax revenue, totaled $1,414,292. That brought the hospital/clinic into the black by $1,031,201 at the end of 2012. The manor showed an overall loss of $350,328. That’s with the addition of $55,190 mainly tax revenue. The consolidated balance sheets of the hospital and manor show that with $1,469,482 mainly tax revenue, the district was in the black $680,873. As mentioned previously, all the tax revenue goes to the hospital. This is so the district gets the maximum Medicare
reimbursement funds. Of the tax revenue, the manor gets $5,000 monthly. The financial documents presented by the auditor show that the hospital has given the manor $2,328,270. That was the ongoing amount in the 2012 financials. That amount was $2,023,410 listed in 2011 balance sheets. How many years it’s taken to accumulate that amount was unknown at press time. “We still have a positive bottom line with tax revenue,” Harris said of fiscal year 2012 finances. The auditor said he can’t guarantee the saying “build it and they will come.” However, he said, the new facility should help staff improve and increase services and customer base. “It’s a chance to recruit and expand.” CEO Vandeveer’s Annual Report Vandeveer’s annual report mentioned the highs and lows in implementing electronic health records at the hospital. The cons were lowering the districts cash flow and lack of training from provider Nextgen for the computer software, which resulted in problems in such areas as billing. The pros are that electronic health records are now up and running, and the hospital received approximately 65 percent government reimbursement for the $590,000 program as mentioned above. Vandeveer said efforts to reduce outstanding accounts receivable were largely successful for fiscal year 2012 and are continuing. Regarding building the new hospital, Vandeveer said construction began this spring. Financing was secured from the Barber County bond funds and the See Auditor Page 38

Waynoka FFA attends state convention By Colton Budy On April 30 and May 1, advisor Jorge Huizar and ten Waynoka FFA members attended the 87th Oklahoma State FFA Convention. The members left after school on Monday, May 29, and got to enjoy an evening out. They attended a Red Hawks baseball game and ate at Crab Town. The next day the convention began. This year’s main theme was Grow Like That. Members were encouraged to grow to be the best they can be. They listened to many good speakers, including a very inspiring speech from the outgoing president, Brandon Baumgarten, titled “Something to Say.” Many of the Waynoka FFA members participated in the convention by performing or receiving awards. Jill Whipple was in the FFA chorus. The food science team, which included Hannah Darr, Maria Wilcox, Josiah Darr and Andrew Miller, was recognized for placing third in the state. Josiah Darr was recognized for placing first in the state with his FFA Reporter’s Book. Hannah Darr received a scholarship to attend the Washington Leadership Conference in June. At the closing session of the convention, Jill Whipple had the honor of receiving her State FFA Degree. All of the members enjoyed the convention and are looking forward to next year.
The Food Science Team places 3rd at state. Members were Andrew Miller, Hannah Darr, Maria Wilcox and Josiah Darr.

USDA. The Friends of the Kiowa District Hospital and Manor Foundation made progress with their “Where Community and Care Come Together” campaign, he said. At this point they are near the $1 million mark from fundraising efforts for the new hospital, which should open the door for some matching grants. Vandeveer said the hospital’s major challenges continue to be revenue cycle management, cost containment efforts and completion of the new hospital building. As chief executive officer of the manor, Vandeveer said its resident census averaged 57 percent for fiscal year 2012, which is “very low.” He said administration tried to increase the census with advertising and promotion of services. The aging manor facility required many dollars for infrastructure improvement. Several new pieces of equipment had to be purchased for the manor’s dietary department. Vandeveer said they’ve had “significant turnover in both dietary and nursing services in 2012.” In conclusion, Vandeveer said, “Our clinic, hospital and manor staff provide outstanding healthcare services to our community.”

with lab tests 3,373. ER, therapies, radiology remained constant also. All of the 344 clinic visits were done by Dr. Paul Wilhelm. Administration and board members say a special thank you to him. Being busy naturally helped hospital financials. The hospital ended in the black $139,558 for April. Goodno said a bulk of the favorable financial picture is from $101,771 in contractual adjustments. Tax revenue totaled $77,759. She said contract labor, mainly on the weekends, drove up that cost to $48,902. It is a goal of administration to reduce that figure. At the end of April, the manor had 21 residents. Before the addition of the standard $5,000 tax revenue, the manor was in the red $58,044. The manor ended April in the red $52,249. This makes the combined loss for the hospital and manor at

such as sports teams, speech teams and music groups to state competitions and performances. The cost of the 2007 bus is $320,000 and was approved at Monday’s meeting. Also, the district paid off a couple of route buses they have been leasing so as to be in a good position to lease in future years. Other repairs and renovations are being made including the installation of a $36,000 handicapped lift for the lowest level stairs at Lincoln School. The acceleration of expenditures like this will keep the district from being penalized by the state for having too much money carried over to next year.
Three complete classrooms of small student furniture was ordered and will be placed at Longfellow school. That site will handle the swelling pre-K population with three classes there. Washington will now handle six first grade classes. The board approved the estimate of needs prepared by auditor Buddy Carroll. This is a preliminary document that allows the district to begin planning their budget for next year. Good news occurred with the news that the OSIG property/causality insurance will cost about $2,000 less this year. The policy with the Oklahoma School Assurance Group will cost $3,000 less this year. Both are lower because of reduced claims. The rate for the unemployment compensation trust account for next year’s insurance will be $1,034.
The board approved an agreement with Northwest Technology Center to permit their nursing students to do clinical rotations in the Alva Public Schools. Someone asked, “Will this be like having a school nurse?” Parkhurst answered, “Not quite.” Two committees were appointed. The extra duty salary schedule will be reviewed by Larry Parker, Jane McDermott and Steve Shiever. The administrators and support staff salary schedules will be reviewed by a committee of Steve Ellis, Lynda Martin and Steve Parkhurst. School lunch prices will be ten cents higher next fall because of pressure from the federal government to increase the prices. Also, Bruce Dollar was employed to conduct the summer weight lifting program for the remainder of this school year.

Kan. farmer sues Monsanto over GMO wheat discovery By Roxana Hegeman WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas farmer has sued seed giant Monsanto over last week’s discovery of genetically engineered experimental wheat in an 80-acre field in Oregon, claiming the company’s gross negligence hurt U.S. growers by driving down wheat prices and causing some international markets to suspend certain imports. The federal civil lawsuit, filed Monday by Ernest Barnes, who farms 1,000 acres near Elkhart in southwest Kansas, seeks unspecified damages to be determined at trial. U.S. Agriculture Department officials said last Wednesday that the modified wheat was the same strain as one designed by Monsanto to be herbicideresistance that was tested in Oregon and several other states through 2005 but never approved. The USDA has said the Oregon wheat is safe to eat and there is no evidence that modified wheat entered the marketplace. It’s believed to be the first lawsuit stemming from the discovery. Similar lawsuits are in the works, Barnes’ attorney said, and the cases will likely be consolidated for the purposes of discovery, a process where evidence is investigated and shared among parties. No genetically engineered wheat has been approved for U.S. farming. Many countries will not accept imports of genetically modified foods, and the United
States exports about half of its wheat crop. Since the announcement, Japan — one of the largest export markets for U.S. wheat growers — suspended some imports. South Korea said it would increase its inspections of U.S. wheat imports. Barnes referred all calls to his attorneys. One of them, Warren Burns, said that the scope of the damage is potentially in the hundreds of millions of dollars. He said the lawsuit seeks to make sure their client is compensated for his losses. “These types of suits serve the purpose of helping police the agricultural system we have in place and make sure farmers are protected,” Burns said in a phone interview Tuesday from Dallas. In a written statement Tuesday, St. Louis-based Monsanto said the report of a few volunteer plants in one Oregon

field is the ostensible basis for the lawsuit. “Tractor-chasing lawyers have prematurely filed suit without any evidence of fault and in advance of the crop’s harvest,” said David Snively, Monsanto executive vice president and general counsel. The company said its process for closing out its original wheat development program was rigorous, government-directed, well-documented and audited. It noted wheat seed, on average, is viable for only one or two years in the soil. Monsanto also contended that, given the care undertaken to prevent contamination, no legal liability exists and it will present a vigorous defense. See Sues Page 44

press and its owners told The Star he would have no comment on the federal report. Federal officials found “serious deficiencies” with the vehicle’s brakes, exhaust leaks under the passenger compartment, blocked or jammed emergency exits, a fire extinguisher that hadn’t been recharged since 2004, and inadequate liability insurance. The imminent hazard order is the strongest action the Transportation Department can take at this point. It was issued last Wednesday by the department’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Ad-
ministration. “Midnight Express’ operational structure and safety management controls are so utterly deficient as to substantially increase the likelihood of serious injury or death if not discontinued immediately,” the order said. Highway Patrol investigators are still interviewing witnesses, and Wyandotte County prosecutors are trying to determine whether criminal charges are warranted. *** Information from: The Kansas City Star, http://www.kcstar.com

Texas banker puts up $1M for tricky math solution PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A Texas banker is upping the ante to $1 million for whoever solves a tricky problem that’s been dogging mathematicians since the 1980s. The Providence, R.I.-based American Mathematical Society on Tuesday said $1 million will be awarded for the publication of a solution to the Beal Conjecture number theory problem. Dallas banker D. Andrew Beal first offered the Beal Prize in 1997 for $5,000. Over the years, the amount has grown. American Mathematical Society spokesman Michael Breen says a solution is more difficult than the one for a related problem, Fermat’s Last Theorem, which didn’t have a published solution for hundreds of years. Beal is a self-taught mathematician and says he wants to inspire young people to pursue math and science. *** Online: Beal Prize: http://bit.ly/14eTRCC

The modified wheat was discovered when field workers at an eastern Oregon wheat farm were clearing acres and came across a patch of wheat that didn’t belong. The workers sprayed it, but the wheat wouldn’t die. It was then sent to a university lab in early May. Tests at Oregon State University confirmed that the plants were a strain developed by Monsanto to resist its Roundup Ready herbicides that were tested between 1998 and 2005. At the time, Monsanto had applied to the USDA for permission to develop the engineered wheat, but the company later withdrew that. The Agriculture Department has said that during that seven-year period, it authorized more than 100 field tests for the herbicide-resistant seed. Tests were conducted in in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming. Burns said the case “looks and smells” like the litigation that arose from the contamination of the U.S. rice crop from genetically modified rice. Bayer CropScience, a German conglomerate, announced in 2011 that it would pay up to $750 million to settle claims, including those from farmers who say they had to plant different crops and made less money from them. Burns anticipated Barnes’ lawsuit would remain in U.S. District Court in Kansas, because “a tremendous amount of harm has fallen on Kansas and Kansas farms.” It has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Monti Belot in Wichita. Burns said lawyers see a challenge that affects farmers’ ability to make and living and may deny them both the markets and the ability to sell their wheat. “We view it as very important to maintaining farmers and maintaining the way of life they lead which is very important not only to this country but countries around the world to which we export,” he said. “It is hard to underestimate the importance of the American wheat crop in sustaining people around the globe.”

By Yvonne Miller Becoming State FFA Agronomy Champions of Kansas – that’s been the goal of the South Barber High School (SBHS) FFA agronomy team since last year when they missed winning the state championship by just 60 points. Now it’s reality. After lots of hard work and studying, the SBHS FFA agronomy team rolled to the state championship, winning by 200 points over the second-place team. Team members are senior Ciera Houlton and juniors Elizabeth Miller and Kiera Yates. Team member Ciera Houlton earned 784 points, which led her to the title of Individual State FFA Agronomy Champion over 77 contestants. She was third in the state last year. The daughter of Justin and Janell Goodno, Ciera follows in the footsteps of her father who was a two-time state champion in crop judging in Oklahoma. Kiera Yates was third high individual scoring over 700 points. Elizabeth Miller was sixth high individual with 663 points.
