Today is Tuesday, Aug. 9, the 221st day of 2022. There are 144 days left in the year.

On Aug. 9, 1974, Vice President Gerald R. Ford became the nation's 38th chief executive as President Richard Nixon's resignation took effect.

In 1854, Henry David Thoreau's "Walden," which described Thoreau's experiences while living near Walden Pond in Massachusetts, was first published.

In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order nationalizing silver.

In 1936, Jesse Owens won his fourth gold medal at the Berlin Olympics as the United States took first place in the 400-meter relay.

In 1944, 258 African-American sailors based at Port Chicago, California, refused to load a munitions ship following a cargo vessel explosion that killed 320 men, many of them Black. (Fifty of the sailors were convicted of mutiny, fined and imprisoned.)

In 1945, three days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, a U.S. B-29 Superfortress code-named Bockscar dropped a nuclear device ("Fat Man") over Nagasaki, killing an estimated 74,000 people.

In 1969, actor Sharon Tate and four other people were found brutally slain at Tate's Los Angeles home; cult leader Charles Manson and a group of his followers were later convicted of the crime.

In 1982, a federal judge in Washington ordered John W. Hinckley Jr., who'd been acquitted of shooting President Ronald Reagan and three others by reason of insanity, committed to a mental hospital.

In 1988, President Ronald Reagan nominated Lauro Cavazos to be secretary of education; Cavazos became the first Hispanic to serve in the Cabinet.

In 1995, Jerry Garcia, lead singer of the Grateful Dead, died in Forest Knolls, California, of a heart attack at age 53.

In 2004, Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols, addressing a court for the first time, asked victims of the blast for forgiveness as a judge sentenced him to 161 consecutive life sentences.

In 2014, Michael Brown Jr., a Black 18-year-old, was shot to death by a police officer following an altercation in Ferguson, Missouri; Brown's death led to sometimes-violent protests in Ferguson and other U.S. cities, spawning a national "Black Lives Matter" movement.

In 2016, at the Rio Games, Michael Phelps earned the 20th and 21st Olympic gold medals of his career as he won the 200-meter butterfly and anchored the United States to victory in the 4x200 freestyle relay. Katie Ledecky earned her second gold in Rio by winning the 200-meter freestyle. The U.S. women's gymnastics team won gold for a second consecutive Olympics.

Ten years ago: The United States began a landmark project to clean up dioxin left from Agent Orange at the site of a former U.S. air base in Danang in central Vietnam, 50 years after the defoliant was first sprayed by American planes on Vietnam's jungles to destroy enemy cover. At the London Games, Usain Bolt won the 200 meters in 19.32 seconds, making him the only man with two Olympic titles in that event. The U.S. women's soccer team won the gold medal, avenging one of its most painful defeats with a 2-1 victory over Japan.

Five years ago: North Korea's army said it was studying a plan to create an "enveloping fire" in areas around the U.S. territory of Guam with medium- to long-range ballistic missiles. Prosecutors in Florida said golfer Tiger Woods had agreed to plead guilty to reckless driving and would enter a diversion program that would allow him to have his record wiped clean; he'd been charged with DUI in May when he was found asleep in his car, apparently under the influence of a prescription painkiller and sleeping medication.

One year ago: Officials said the Taliban had taken control of two more provincial capitals in Afghanistan, as U.S. and NATO forces finalized their pullout from the country. Testifying at his Los Angeles murder trial, Robert Durst denied killing his best friend, Susan Berman, at her home in 2000. (Durst would be convicted of first-degree murder; the real estate heir died in January 2022 at age 78 while serving a life sentence.) The authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that Earth was getting so hot that temperatures within about a decade would probably blow past a level of warming that world leaders had sought to prevent. Canada ended its prohibition on Americans crossing the border to shop, vacation or visit, but the United States kept similar coronavirus restrictions in place for Canadians.

Eagle Radio / Salina Post seeks on-air news director

Incentives for corrections officers, a preliminary canvass of primary election votes, and jail-related issues 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:

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwwZp_cTSJ3Nepp_5rOGevA">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwwZp_cTSJ3Nepp_5rOGevA</a>.

To participate in the meetings, citizens will need to use the Zoom link. Use the following link and put in the Meeting ID and passcode:

<a href="https://zoom.us/j/96835819901?pwd=bUEvaExUb2ppMEFaUnd6cUd6MmNMUT09">https://zoom.us/j/96835819901?pwd=bUEvaExUb2ppMEFaUnd6cUd6MmNMUT09</a>

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

Commissioners are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. with a preliminary vote canvass from the Aug. 2 primary with County Clerk Jamie Doss. The official full canvass of votes is scheduled for 9 a.m. Thursday in room 107B of the City-County Building, 300 W. Ash Street.

Commissioners also are scheduled to consider a request to increase through the remainder of 2022 a hiring incentive to aid in the county's efforts to hire corrections officers.

Currently, three corrections officer positions are open due to normal turnover, according to information in the commission meeting packet. Additionally, the county has not yet been able to hire 14 new corrections officer positions that were approved for 2022. If approved during the current budget process, 10 additional positions would need to be filled beginning in 2023.

"More and more employers, including existing Saline County departments, are providing early increased wages and hiring/retention incentives," the request for action information noted.

The sheriff's office and human resources is asking commissioners to temporarily change the  hiring incentive for corrections officers from $1,500 to $5,000 through the end of 2022. Additionally, they are requesting that a $5,000 retention incentive for all existing staff in the Jail Division of the sheriff's office be approved "in recognition of their dedication and to make a statement of support to all these employees continuing to work in the Jail," according to request for action information.

"There are 73 eligible staff, for a total expense of $365,000. Due to the current staff shortages, existing salary dollars are available in the amount of $379,000 to fund the hiring and retention incentives to be paid from September through December," the request for action information noted.

Other items on the Saline County Commission agenda for Tuesday include the following.

●Consider approving a request for a storm water easement for the new Saline County Jail.

●Consider entering into an agreement for architectural design services for the courtroom remodel project.

●Hear a new jail project update from County Administrator Phillip Smith-Hanes

●Have an aggregate discussion with Darren Fishel, Road and Bridge administrator

The program is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday and will feature guest speaker Will Hitchcock. This program will be available online only.

For many years after he left office, Eisenhower received poor marks from historians and political journalists. He was considered a mere caretaker who presided over a period of quiet prosperity. In fact, as this lecture will show, Eisenhower was one of the most consequential presidents of the postwar era, managing the Cold War with skill, generating economic growth, and taking important strides to advance Civil Rights. Ike led with integrity and became one of the most admired presidents of the past century.&nbsp;

Hitchcock is the William W. Corcoran Professor of History at the University of Virginia and serves as the faculty director of Governing American in a Global Era, or GAGE. His work and teaching focus on the global history of the 20th Century, in particular the era of the two world wars and the cold war. A graduate of Kenyon College and Yale University, he is the author of The Age of Eisenhower and The Bitter Road to Freedom: The Human Cost of Allied Victory in World War II Europe, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.&nbsp;

Age of Eisenhower: America, world in 1950s

ELLSWORTH COUNTY — Authorities in Ellsworth County are investigating after a man was found dead on Monday and a deputy injured on Sunday by a charging buffalo.

At 9 a.m. Monday, a woman called Ellsworth County 911 to report she needed an ambulance because she had found her nephew identified as 56-year-old Scott Schroeder of rural Bushton, dead in a pen and thought a buffalo killed him, according to Sheriff Murray Marston

Sheriff's deputies and Claflin EMS responded to the scene. The body was in a row of trees north of Kansas 4 highway at 5th Road. The location where the deputy was injured by a buffalo on Sunday night is approximately one half mile south of where the body was found Monday.

The coroner's preliminary cause of death, pending an autopsy, is that a buffalo gored Schroeder. He is the owner of over 20 buffalo kept at that location, according to Marston.

The deputy injured by a buffalo on Sunday underwent surgery at Salina Regional Health Center and is in stable condition, according to Marston.

A Rice County Deputy arrived at the scene of the attack just as it occurred on Sunday. He put down the animal when it appeared it was preparing to charge at the downed deputy. Both incidents remain under investigation, according to Marston.

ELLSWORTH COUNTY—A Kansas sheriff's deputy&nbsp; is recovering after he was injured by a buffalo.

Just after 6:30p.m. Sunday, Ellsworth County 911 received a call about the buffalo on K-4 highway at 5th Road in Ellsworth County, according to a media release.

A deputy responded to the scene, found the animal and attempted to get it to return to a pasture. The buffalo suddenly charged the deputy and injured him.

Claflin EMS transported the deputy to the Ellsworth County Medical Center and he was later transferred to Salina Regional Health Center.&nbsp; The sheriff's office has not identified the deputy or updated his condition.

Salina man arrested on requested aggravated burglary, theft charges

GYPSUM - A Gypsum man was arrested on multiple requested charges, including kidnapping and aggravated battery after an incident Friday afternoon that ended in Park City.

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that Theodore Clovis Meadows, Jr., 46, of Gypsum, and a 35-year-old rural Saline County woman were at Meadows' residence in Gypsum Friday afternoon when Meadows said he wanted to go to Wichita. The woman said she didn't want to go, so Meadows allegedly told her that they should go to the pop machine in downtown Gypsum to get something to drink and discuss the trip. The woman agreed, but Meadows didn't stop his 2005 Ford F150 in downtown Gypsum and instead headed south to Canton.

On their way out of Saline County, the woman managed to get out of the pickup and was running through a field, however Meadows allegedly chased her with the pickup and allegedly struck her with the pickup door, Soldan said. Meadows also allegedly struck the woman inside the pickup.

In Canton, a stop was made at the Casey's convenience store so the woman could get something to drink. Soldan said that while the woman was inside, she left a note that she was being kidnapped. The store clerk who found the note was able to get a good description of the pickup, and Meadows was apprehended at a gas station in Park City at approximately 6:30 p.m. Friday, Soldan said.

Meadows was arrested on the following requested charges, Soldan said.

A Salina teen was arrested Saturday after he allegedly attempted to solicit acquaintances to do harm to his stepfather.

Salina Police Interim Patrol Captain David Villanueva said this morning that a 43-year-old Salina man was notified by other people that Joseph T. Moran, 18, Salina, was attempting to solicit acquaintances to do bodily harm to the 43-year-old with an edged weapon. The solicitation attempts were made via social media.

Moran was arrested Saturday evening on the following requested charges, Villanueva said.

Villanueva said a software glitch caused Moran's requested charges to include murder instead of the solicitation charge in the Saline County Jail booking information released Sunday morning.

The 59% “No” vote in the recent Kansas primary election solidly rejected a change in the Kansas Constitution that would have led to additional legislation waiting-in-the-wings to prohibit most or all abortions. But this vote has revealed a problem in our assumption that our elected representatives represent a majority of the public’s viewpoint. Both the Kansas House and Senate brought this constitutional change to the public by a solid two-thirds majority vote. The Kansas public, to the contrary, mostly held an opposing view.

Politicians on all sides regularly point to their election to office as the justification for their position in power. “My district voted for me to promote such-and-such an issue,” they spout, inferring that their constituency is solidly, or mostly, in favor of their position on various issues. But in Kansas, the votes clearly showed a solid majority of the voting public disagreed with the position of their representatives. They were not aligned at all.

Is it possible that there was a larger proportion of pro-amendment voters who simply did not show up to vote? That is highly unlikely, given the much larger turnout for this primary fueled by this very issue. And a large number of independent voters showed up just to vote on this amendment alone. As a nation that brags about being a representative democracy via elections, the U.S. usually has an embarrassingly low voter turnout by international standards. But with nearly half of Kansans voting, this was a substantial turnout. There is no reason to believe that the non-voters would have changed the results. State constitutional amendments are an unusual situation where we get to compare the representatives’ actions with their constituencies. And this gap in Kansas between the people and their “representatives” is not small. &nbsp;

A more common scenario for a U.S. election would be for a candidate to secure 60% of the vote in a state where only 40% of registered voters voted. That would mean that the candidate actually only got the vote of 24% of potential voters. And the loser got 16%. Considering that many citizens do not register to vote, and some are underage, etc., a successful candidate is supported by substantially fewer citizens.

There are many issues of large importance and other issues where citizen interest is low to absent. And despite polarization along supposedly political-philosophical lines, I rarely see folks who are so single-minded as to always agree with one specific candidate on the wide range of political bills that often combine a mixture of good and questionable details. Voting citizens also have uneven interests. The single truck driver will be more concerned with road infrastructure legislation and unconcerned with education, while the parent of schoolchildren will be more attentive to educational funding and care little about the interstate.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;

That brings up the question of whether representatives should always vote the way a majority of their constituents believe? This always poses a problem for issues involving new science, where the vast population are unaware of recent research that disproves common societal beliefs. These beliefs included asbestos, vaccination mandates, transsexual biology and many other issues.

Another case would involve overcoming the public’s war fever. Hitler used the Versailles Treaty of 1919, a punitive action, to rally German support for rebuilding for WWII. As that second war came to an end, General George Marshall realized it would be unwise to repeat that mistake. Germany had been devastated. Working with George Keenan, Marshall rightly saw that America needed to spend substantial resources to help rebuild Germany along with other European allies. But the American public had spent years demonizing the German enemy. Congress had already appropriated $522 million for Italy, France and Austria. How can he convince the U.S. Congress to approve the “European Recovery Program” (today called the “Marshall Plan”) totaling $13.3 billion?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;

By working with a critical mass of intelligent and reasonable legislators, General Marshall was able to get Congressional representatives to do what was right, and not what was popular.

So there are certain instances where representatives wisely do not represent the position of their constituents. But proposing the change to the Kansas Constitution was not one of them.&nbsp; &nbsp;

 </figure>By JOHN RICHARD SCHROCKThe 59% “No” vote in the recent Kansas primary election solidly rejected a change in the Kansas Constitution that would have led to additional legislation waiting-in-the-wings to prohibit most or all abortions. But this vote has revealed a problem in our assumption that our elected representatives represent a majority of the public’s viewpoint. Both the Kansas House and Senate brought this constitutional change to the public by a solid two-thirds majority vote. The Kansas public, to the contrary, mostly held an opposing view. Politicians on all sides regularly point to their election to office as the justification for their position in power. “My district voted for me to promote such-and-such an issue,” they spout, inferring that their constituency is solidly, or mostly, in favor of their position on various issues. But in Kansas, the votes clearly showed a solid majority of the voting public disagreed with the position of their representatives. They were not aligned at all. Is it possible that there was a larger proportion of pro-amendment voters who simply did not show up to vote? That is highly unlikely, given the much larger turnout for this primary fueled by this very issue. And a large number of independent voters showed up just to vote on this amendment alone. As a nation that brags about being a representative democracy via elections, the U.S. usually has an embarrassingly low voter turnout by international standards. But with nearly half of Kansans voting, this was a substantial turnout. There is no reason to believe that the non-voters would have changed the results. State constitutional amendments are an unusual situation where we get to compare the representatives’ actions with their constituencies. And this gap in Kansas between the people and their “representatives” is not small. &nbsp; A more common scenario for a U.S. election would be for a candidate to secure 60% of the vote in a state where only 40% of registered voters voted. That would mean that the candidate actually only got the vote of 24% of potential voters. And the loser got 16%. Considering that many citizens do not register to vote, and some are underage, etc., a successful candidate is supported by substantially fewer citizens. There are many issues of large importance and other issues where citizen interest is low to absent. And despite polarization along supposedly political-philosophical lines, I rarely see folks who are so single-minded as to always agree with one specific candidate on the wide range of political bills that often combine a mixture of good and questionable details. Voting citizens also have uneven interests. The single truck driver will be more concerned with road infrastructure legislation and unconcerned with education, while the parent of schoolchildren will be more attentive to educational funding and care little about the interstate.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; That brings up the question of whether representatives should always vote the way a majority of their constituents believe? This always poses a problem for issues involving new science, where the vast population are unaware of recent research that disproves common societal beliefs. These beliefs included asbestos, vaccination mandates, transsexual biology and many other issues. Another case would involve overcoming the public’s war fever. Hitler used the Versailles Treaty of 1919, a punitive action, to rally German support for rebuilding for WWII. As that second war came to an end, General George Marshall realized it would be unwise to repeat that mistake. Germany had been devastated. Working with George Keenan, Marshall rightly saw that America needed to spend substantial resources to help rebuild Germany along with other European allies. But the American public had spent years demonizing the German enemy. Congress had already appropriated $522 million for Italy, France and Austria. How can he convince the U.S. Congress to approve the “European Recovery Program” (today called the “Marshall Plan”) totaling $13.3 billion?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; By working with a critical mass of intelligent and reasonable legislators, General Marshall was able to get Congressional representatives to do what was right, and not what was popular. So there are certain instances where representatives wisely do not represent the position of their constituents. But proposing the change to the Kansas Constitution was not one of them.&nbsp; &nbsp;John Richard Schrock has trained biology teachers for more than 30 years in Kansas.

EDUCATION FRONTLINES: Representative... Really?

Local schools resume classes on Thursday and the enforcement of the reduced speed school zones in Salina will resume on the same date. 

Drivers are encouraged to be additionally aware of children, school buses, the school zones around schools, and the reduced speed limits.

Kansas law states that when a school bus stop arm is extended and the flashing lights on the bus have been activated, vehicles traveling in both directions must come to a complete stop. Kansas law also states that vehicles must stop and yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks.

The flashing speed limit sign beacons have already been activated to allow drivers to get used to the speed zones.&nbsp;Motorists are encouraged to practice extra caution when traveling in the reduced-speed school zone sign locations.

School zone beacons active; enforcement begins Thursday

The high-intensity activated crosswalk (HAWK) beacon on E. Crawford Street between S. Marymount Road and Fairdale Road is now safely ushering pedestrians across the busy roadway. 

A HAWK beacon remains off or dark until activated. Once activated it utilizes aspects of railroad crossing signals to notify motorists of pedestrians wanting to cross. After the crossing period the HAWK beacon once again goes dark. 

HAWK beacons significantly increase motorist compliance and pedestrian safety over traditional crosswalk signals. 

Salina previously installed HAWK beacons on Iron south of Oakdale Elementary and Cloud north of St. Mary's School.
