MANHATTAN – If it seems like there are a lot more coyotes mingling in human spaces these days, it’s because…well, there are.&nbsp;

“When we look at abundance trends, the population of coyotes has increased three-fold since the fur market crashed in the late 1980s,” said Drew Ricketts, a wildlife management specialist with K-State Research and Extension.&nbsp;

Depending on time of year, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks estimates between 150,000 and 300,000 coyotes live in Kansas alone. Coyotes are found in every U.S. state, except Hawaii.&nbsp;

They are also being seen increasingly in more heavily populated areas. Ricketts notes that wildlife cameras have eyed coyotes in such cities as Chicago, Portland and Denver. Researchers in Chicago found that coyotes even learned how to use traffic control signals: “They were waiting until lights turned green before crossing the street,” Ricketts said. “They have learned to navigate an urban landscape.”&nbsp;

“One of the things that has allowed coyotes to be so successful is that they are so adaptable,” Ricketts said. “We typically think of coyotes as predators, whereas they are really omnivores (an animal that eats plant and animal food). They eat a lot of insect matter, fruits and vegetables; they eat a lot of animal matter, too, but they are also good at capitalizing on human by-products, like trash. So in cities they are able to make a living.”&nbsp;

Ranchers have long viewed coyotes as a threat to small livestock, especially goats, sheep and newborn calves. Ricketts said of the dozens of calls he takes yearly from farmers and ranchers on wildlife intrusions, nearly half of those relate to coyotes, even though coyotes aren’t always to blame for suspicious livestock deaths.&nbsp;

It is legal to hunt coyotes in Kansas, but Ricketts said “population control is not effective. We have been trying to eradicate coyotes for a couple hundred years, and we still haven’t been able to do it.”&nbsp;

Most landowners – in rural and urban settings – resolve themselves to trapping animals once they become a problem in their area. The K-State Research and Extension publication,&nbsp;<a href="https://bookstore.ksre.ksu.edu/pubs/C660.pdf" target="_blank">How to Trap a Coyote</a>&nbsp;(originally published in 1975), is still one of the organization’s most popular downloads each year, with a high of 10,217 views in 2014.&nbsp;

Ricketts said K-State Research and Extension also has published a series of videos on setting traps and picking a location. The five video&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoCUoT3Oi90S5zDnzgL34iA" target="_blank">series is available online</a>.&nbsp;

“Trapping is more likely to take care of those problem animals,” Ricketts said. “Traps are working 24 hours a day. They are a bit more effective at dealing with problem animals than hunting.”&nbsp;

Snares and foothold traps are the most common ways to catch a coyote that is preying on farm livestock, according to Ricketts. While snares are effective, they are also more dangerous to sheep, goats and guardian dogs.&nbsp;

Foothold traps, he said, rarely do much damage or cause injuries, but their placement is critical to success. Ricketts said foothold traps should be placed in areas where there are coyote tracks or scat; near pond dams or a trail; or in a specific area where the problem is occurring.&nbsp;

🎥Coyote populations continue to grow throughout U.S. 

By LESLIE EIKLEBERRY Salina Post

A Salina man was arrested on requested drug charges after an officer stopped him for riding a bicycle on the sidewalk in the downtown area.

A officer observed John Robison, IV, riding a bicycle on the sidewalk in the 100 block of N. Santa Fe Avenue at approximately 1:40 p.m. Monday, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. Robinson then rode into the southbound lane of N. Santa Fe Avenue and onto the sidewalk on the west side of the street.

The officer attempted to stop Robison, who then fled westbound through the tunnel on the south side of Ad Astra Books &amp; Coffee House. Forrester said the officer then went south to W. Iron Avenue, where he observed Robison on foot in the alley. 

As the officer attempted to arrest Robison in the alley behind Cozy Inn, Robison allegedly put something in the metal grate beneath him, Forrester said. Additionally, a witness reported seeing Robison throw something over a fence around a dumpster.

Forrester said the officer located a meth pipe by the dumpster and a plastic wrapper with suspected methamphetamine inside under the grate.

Robison was arrested on the following requested charges, Forrester said.

MANHATTAN — More than 100 Kansas State University students are among the first class of scholars recently inducted into the university's chapter of Alpha Alpha Alpha, or Tri-Alpha, the national first-generation college student honorary society. Tri-Alpha recognizes undergraduate first-generation students who have earned at least a 3.2 grade point average on 30 semester hours of academic work. These students must meet the definition of first-generation student, which is neither of the student's parents, step-parents or legal guardians completed a bachelor's or associate degree. The chapter is a registered departmental student organization and is sponsored by K-State's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.k-state.edu/firstgen/index.html" target="_blank">Office of First-generation Students</a>. The honorary society also inducts faculty and staff who were first-generation students and are willing to serve as mentors to current first-generation students; alumni who were first-generation students; and honorary inductees — who do not have to be first-generation students —who are donors or serve in a leadership capacity to advance first-generation student success. The K-State chapter inducted two honorary members who have been champions of first-generation student success at K-State: Richard Myers, university president, and Ken Griffin, former business dean and professor emeritus at the University of Wyoming. Faculty inductees are Christy Craft, professor and chair of the special education, counseling and student affairs department in the College of Education, and William Richter, professor emeritus of political science and associate provost of international programs.

 </figure>MANHATTAN — More than 100 Kansas State University students are among the first class of scholars recently inducted into the university's chapter of Alpha Alpha Alpha, or Tri-Alpha, the national first-generation college student honorary society. Tri-Alpha recognizes undergraduate first-generation students who have earned at least a 3.2 grade point average on 30 semester hours of academic work. These students must meet the definition of first-generation student, which is neither of the student's parents, step-parents or legal guardians completed a bachelor's or associate degree. The chapter is a registered departmental student organization and is sponsored by K-State's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.k-state.edu/firstgen/index.html" target="_blank">Office of First-generation Students</a>. The honorary society also inducts faculty and staff who were first-generation students and are willing to serve as mentors to current first-generation students; alumni who were first-generation students; and honorary inductees — who do not have to be first-generation students —who are donors or serve in a leadership capacity to advance first-generation student success. The K-State chapter inducted two honorary members who have been champions of first-generation student success at K-State: Richard Myers, university president, and Ken Griffin, former business dean and professor emeritus at the University of Wyoming. Faculty inductees are Christy Craft, professor and chair of the special education, counseling and student affairs department in the College of Education, and William Richter, professor emeritus of political science and associate provost of international programs. The alumnus inductee is Jahvelle Rhone, a 2010 K-State graduate and information technology coordinator with the K-State Division of Information Technology.

Bid awards for emergency equipment, an amendment to burn restrictions, a broadcast agreement with the City of Salina, and special jail project inspections are among the items on the Saline County Commission agenda for Tuesday.

Saline County Commission is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday in room 107 of the City-County Building, 300 W. Ash Street. The meetings also can be viewed on Saline County’s YouTube channel:

For further information, contact the County Commission’s Office at (785) 309-5825.

Commissioners are scheduled to consider approving an agreement with the City of Salina to broadcast county meetings. Since the city has taken over the broadcasts of meetings in room 107 of the City-County Building, county commissioners directed county staff to negotiate an agreement with the city for city staff to also record and broadcast county meetings.

According to information from the county, the city has approved the agreement, and it awaits approval by the county commission. Under the proposed agreement, the county would pay the city $500 for the first eight hours of meetings each month, with an hourly rate of $65 per hour for each 15-minute increment of meeting time in excess of eight hours.

Commissioners also are to consider approving a contract with Kaw Valley Engineering of Salina for special inspections on the construction of the new Saline County Jail/Sheriff's Office. 

According to information in the county commission meeting packet, "Building codes require that certain inspections for a large project such as the Jail/Sheriff’s Office construction be performed by an independent inspector. The construction manager for the project cannot engage these professionals in order to prevent a conflict of interest. The County must contract with them separately, but sufficient funds are held within the project budget to pay this expense."

Other items on the county commission agenda for Tuesday include the following.

●Consider a bid award for a high-pressure breathing air compressor for Rural Fire District No. 2

●Consider a request from the Department of Senior Services to accept a pet assistance expansion grant from Meals On Wheels America.

●Consider awarding a bid for turnout gear for emergency management.
