You’ve probably heard the song lyrics “The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye.” These three men compare their height to corn stalks that grew to 20 feet tall on the Henry Boag farm in Jewell County. Depending on the variety, corn can typically grow anywhere from 7 to 16 feet. #kansashistory

Kansas Historical Society: They grow it tall in Jewell County!

Temperatures are forecasted to climb back into the 90s across Kansas again this week, and the Kansas Department of Transportation, emergency responders and health advisors remind parents and caregivers to never leave a child in a car.

Heat risks for children can occur even when outside temperatures are much lower. On a sunny day, the inside of a car can heat up 40 degrees in one hour, with 80% of that heat rise happening in the first 30 minutes.&nbsp;If the outside temperature is 80, a vehicle can heat to 99 degrees in 10 minutes, and to 114 degrees in 30 minutes.

Even a brief entrapment in a vehicle can expose a child to heat stroke once their body temperature reaches 104.&nbsp;A child may not be able to remove themselves from a car seat or escape a locked car.

The Kansas Highway Patrol, like all other emergency responders, are looking out for the safety of Kansas motorists and occupants. “Do not forget or leave children in a vehicle, even with windows cracked, for any amount of time,” said&nbsp;Colonel Herman T. Jones, Superintendent of the Kansas Highway Patrol.

Children are more at risk for heatstroke complications and death because their bodies absorb heat more quickly and have trouble cooling off.&nbsp;A child’s body temperature climbs three to five times faster than an adult.&nbsp;Sweating won’t cool down an infant or young child in the same way it does an adult.&nbsp;

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports more than half (53%) of all vehicle-related heatstroke deaths in children are caused by a child accidentally being left in the car, and 26% are from a child getting into a hot car unsupervised.

If you are a bystander and see a child in a hot vehicle:

●Make sure the child is okay and responsive. If not, call 911 immediately.

●If the child appears to be okay, attempt to locate the parents. If someone is with you, one person should actively search for the parent while the other waits at the car.

Today is Tuesday, Aug. 2, the 214th day of 2022. There are 151 days left in the year.

On Aug. 2, 1923, the 29th president of the United States, Warren G. Harding, died in San Francisco; Vice President Calvin Coolidge became president.

In 1776, members of the Second Continental Congress began attaching their signatures to the Declaration of Independence.

In 1873, inventor Andrew S. Hallidie successfully tested a cable car he had designed for the city of San Francisco.

In 1876, frontiersman "Wild Bill" Hickok was shot and killed while playing poker at a saloon in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, by Jack McCall, who was later hanged.

In 1921, a jury in Chicago acquitted several former members of the Chicago White Sox baseball team and two others of conspiring to defraud the public in the notorious "Black Sox" scandal. Opera singer Enrico Caruso, 48, died in Naples, Italy.

In 1922, Alexander Graham Bell, generally regarded as the inventor of the telephone, died in Nova Scotia, Canada, at age 75.

In 1934, German President Paul von Hindenburg died, paving the way for Adolf Hitler's complete takeover.

In 1939, Albert Einstein signed a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt urging creation of an atomic weapons research program.

In 1945, President Harry S. Truman, Soviet leader Josef Stalin and Britain's new prime minister, Clement Attlee, concluded the Potsdam conference.

In 1974, former White House counsel John W. Dean III was sentenced to one to four years in prison for obstruction of justice in the Watergate cover-up. (Dean ended up serving four months.)

In 1980, 85 people were killed when a bomb exploded at the train station in Bologna, Italy.

In 1985, 137 people were killed when Delta Air Lines Flight 191, a Lockheed L-1011 Tristar, crashed while attempting to land at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

In 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait, seizing control of the oil-rich emirate. (The Iraqis were later driven out in Operation Desert Storm.)

Ten years ago: Kofi Annan resigned as peace envoy to Syria, blaming the Syrian government's intransigence, the growing militancy of Syrian rebels and a divided U.N. Security Council that he said failed to forcefully back his effort. Gabby Douglas became the third American in a row to win gymnastics' biggest prize when she claimed the all-around Olympic title; Michael Phelps added to his medal collection with his first individual gold medal of the London Games in the 200-meter individual medley.

Five years ago: Former Notre Dame football coach Ara Parseghian died at his home in Granger, Indiana, at the age of 94. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 22,000 for the first time, after stocks spent five months gradually moving higher.

One year ago: The U.S. finally reached President Joe Biden's goal of getting at least one COVID-19 shot into 70% of American adults - a month late and amid a fierce surge by the delta variant. Louisiana reinstated a mask mandate in all indoor locations, as the state saw the highest per capita COVID-19 growth in the nation. The Biden administration expanded efforts to help at-risk Afghan citizens flee Taliban violence ahead of a U.S. military pullout at the end of the month; more Afghans would be eligible for refugee status in the United States. San Francisco's iconic cable cars were chiming their bells and rolling again on the city's hills after being sidelined for 16 months by the pandemic.

Another popular video game has been broken into in Salina, and this time the haul was $4,660.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that at approximately 6:30 a.m. on July 23, the Dragon's Ascent video game at the Pilot Travel Center, 1944 N. Ninth Street, was broken into and $4,660 stolen from its cash box.

The top part of the game was removed so the cash box could be accessed, he said.

Surveillance video from the travel center shows a Black man wearing a white hat and white t-shirt placing a sticker over the surveillance camera just before the game was broken into.

On July 7, a Dragon's Ascent game at Flying J Travel Center, 2250 N. Ohio Street, was broken into and $850 in cash was stole. Additionally, $2,500 worth of damage was done to the game.

On June 1, $500 was stolen from a Dragon's Ascent game at The Alley, 115 E. Ash Street. A Salina man was arrested in connection to that case.

As temperatures rise to triple digits once again, heat advisories have been issued for much of Kansas.

Heat illnesses may occur due to the hot temperatures   and high heat indices, especially for those working or participating in outdoor activities, the National Weather Service noted.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.

Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments.

NWS issues heat advisories as indices soar Monday, Tuesday

To understand the U.S. position toward the mainland China–Taiwan relationship, we must understand both Chinese history and the current formal relationship established in 1972 by the “Shanghai Communiqué.” It is obvious from recent off-the-cuff remarks from President Biden and many anti-China Senators and Congressmen in both political parties that they are clueless.

The Shanghai Communiqué signed by President Nixon is a joint statement by China and the U.S. signaling a commitment to pursue formal diplomatic relations. This document stated: “The United States acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China. The United States Government does not challenge that position.”

Before Nixon’s visit, Henry Kissinger and Zhou En-lai worked for two days to negotiate a statement for Nixon’s visit.&nbsp; When Kissinger submitted the draft including the critical wording “...that there is but one China,” Kissinger indicates that Zhou read the sentence and a wide grin spread over his face, and reports that “I do not think that anything I did or said impressed Zhou as much as this ambiguous formula with which both sides were able to live.” (Quote from “Eldest Son: Zhou En-lai and the Making of Modern China, 1898-1976" by Han SuYin.)

In history, Taiwan has been part of Imperial China. When the Manchus invaded China and established the Qing Dynasty, the Ming loyalist Koxinga retreated to Taiwan as his base in 1660, one of several times that Taiwan would serve to harbor the remnants of a regime ousted from the mainland.

As a result of the Sino-Japanese War triggered by Japan’s invasion of Korea, Japan won and took over Taiwan in 1895. Now named Formosa, it served as Japan’s agricultural base while Japan built its industrial war machine in preparation for World War II.

By 1971, mainland China entered the United Nations as a member of the Security Council and the Republic of China of Taiwan exited at the same time. Martial law finally ended in Taiwan in 1987. In 1991, Taiwan held its first national elections and in 1996, it held its first presidential elections. Year 2000 saw the end of Kuomintang Party rule in Taiwan. Many elderly Kuomintang military officers wanted to return to the mainland to rejoin family and eventually be buried in the old family graveyards.

In 2005, China announced the anti-succession law, indicating it would use force if there was any attempt by Taiwan to declare itself an independent country.

U.S. lawmakers passed the Taiwan Relations Act in 1979 that outlined a plan to maintain close ties between the U.S. and Taiwan. It provided for the U.S. to sell military items to help the island maintain its defense, a policy of “strategic ambiguity.” But Kissinger describes a “Third Communique” of August 17, 1982 as still ambiguous but a gradual decline in military support: “The United States Government states that it does not seek to carry out a long-term policy of arms sales to Taiwan, that its arms sales to Taiwan will not exceed, either in qualitative or in quantitative terms, the level of those supplies in recent years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China, and that it intends to reduce gradually its sales of arms to Taiwan, leading over a period of time to a final resolution. In so stating, the United States acknowledges China’s consistent position regarding the thorough settlement of this issue.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

I will note that China continues to maintain its position held from the very beginning, that acts passed by the U.S. or other are irrelevant to what it considers is an internal matter. Taiwan is a part of China and therefore not anyone else’s business. They held this position from the first, and the war in Ukraine has done nothing to change their position, despite speculations from U.S. military.

Henry Kissinger’s book “On China” reveals that, if it had not been distracted by the Korean War, China would have moved ahead to finish its civil war by pursuing Chiang Kai-Shek’s retreat to Taiwan. Indeed, the North Korea leaders knew that if they did not rapidly recruit China to their defense, a China mainland would be too busy taking back Taiwan and not be able to help North Korea. If China had not been diverted to Korea, China would have overtaken Taiwan and it would not be a concern today, and a large amount of looted Chinese historical artifacts would have been returned to the mainland.

“Leaders cannot choose the options history affords them...” is probably the wisest comment in his book. Kissinger notes how the U.S. is somewhat unable to have continuity in foreign policy because of our periodic changes of government every four or eight years, and the one-year lag that occurs with each changeover. But that is no excuse for politicians being ignorant.&nbsp;&nbsp;

EDUCATION FRONTLINES: The Shanghai Communiqué

Today is Monday, Aug. 1, the 213th day of 2022. There are 152 days left in the year.

On Aug. 1, 1936, the Olympics opened in Berlin with a ceremony presided over by Adolf Hitler.

In 1876, Colorado was admitted as the 38th state.

In 1907, the U.S. Army Signal Corps established an aeronautical division, the forerunner of the U.S. Air Force.

In 1944, an uprising broke out in Warsaw, Poland, against Nazi occupation; the revolt lasted two months before collapsing.

In 1957, the United States and Canada announced they had agreed to create the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD).

In 1966, Charles Joseph Whitman, 25, went on an armed rampage at the University of Texas in Austin that killed 14 people, most of whom were shot by Whitman while he was perched in the clock tower of the main campus building. (Whitman, who had also slain his wife and mother hours earlier, was finally gunned down by police.)

In 1975, a 35-nation summit in Finland concluded with the signing of a declaration known as the Helsinki Accords dealing with European security, human rights and East-West contacts.

In 1994, Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley confirmed they'd been secretly married 11 weeks earlier. (Presley filed for divorce from Jackson in January 1996, citing irreconcilable differences.)

In 2001, Pro Bowl tackle Korey Stringer, 27, died of heat stroke, a day after collapsing at the Minnesota Vikings' training camp on the hottest day of the year.

In 2007, the eight-lane Interstate 35W bridge, a major Minneapolis artery, collapsed into the Mississippi River during evening rush hour, killing 13 people.

In 2011, the U.S. House of Representatives passed, 269-161, emergency legislation to avert the nation's first-ever financial default; Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords returned to the House for the first time since being shot in Jan. 2011 to cast a "yes" vote.

In 2013, defying the United States, Russia granted Edward Snowden temporary asylum, allowing the National Security Agency leaker to slip out of the Moscow airport where he had been holed up for weeks.

In 2014, a medical examiner ruled that a New York City police officer's chokehold caused the death of Eric Garner, whose videotaped arrest and final pleas of "I can't breathe!" had sparked outrage.

Ten years ago: President Barack Obama made his rival's personal millions a front-and-center issue in the race for the White House, telling a swing-state audience in Ohio that Mitt Romney "is asking you to pay more so that people like him can get a big tax cut." Four teams from China, South Korea and Indonesia were kicked out of the women's badminton doubles at the London Olympics for trying to lose on purpose in order to earn an easier matchup in the knockout round.

Five years ago: By a vote of 92-5, the Senate confirmed President Donald Trump's nomination of Christopher Wray as FBI director. He replaced James Comey, who was fired by Trump amid the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign.

One year ago: After much delay, senators unveiled a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill. American swimmer Caeleb Dressel captured his fourth and fifth gold medals of the Tokyo Olympics, while Australia's Emma McKeon won two more golds and became the first female swimmer – and second woman in any sport – to claim seven medals at one Olympics. Texas-born Italian sprinter Marcell Jacobs won gold in the 100 meters, Italy's first medal in the event. Belarusian track sprinter Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, who faced punishment at home after criticizing the way the track team was managed, said her Olympic team officials tried to remove her from Japan in a dispute that led to a standoff at Haneda Airport in Tokyo. (She would later find refuge in Poland.) Rapper DaBaby was cut from Lollapalooza's closing lineup following crude and homophobic remarks he had made at a Miami-area music festival.

Today's Birthdays: Singer Ramblin' Jack Elliott is 91. Former Sen. Alfonse D'Amato, R-N.Y., is 85. Actor Giancarlo Giannini is 80. Basketball Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams is 72.
