Gov. Kelly orders flags at half-staff on Wednesday

By JACKIE MUNDT Pratt County farmer and rancher

Farmers all around the country are in harvest mode. Harvesting our dryland corn was quick and smooth. Moving to the first field of sorghum, which was beautiful and looked ready to go, but the moisture tested too high by a few percentage points. The wait was frustrating. The days drug on with a sprinkle of rain one day and others that weren’t hot or windy enough to dry the crop. Going back and forth in a combine can feel like time is dragging on, but cutting a load or two and then having to stop and try tomorrow day after day can feel excruciatingly slow.

Fall harvest often feels like a marathon lasting for months in comparison to the dozen or so days we spend sprinting through wheat harvest. In the fall, most farmers are harvesting several crops. Some crops are planted early and others are double cropped behind a winter crop. Dryland and irrigated versions of the same crops vary in yield potential meaning different genetics, length of growing time and inputs. Shorter days and lower temperatures can cause crops to take longer to dry down. Some crops are better at waiting to be harvested than others. Switching equipment and coordinating help for all the different crops can be a logistical nightmare.

However, farmers are not always completely rational about the timing of field work. You really don’t see a lot of “keeping up with the Joneses” in equipment purchases and other materialistic items. Farmers might get an idea or inspiration from a neighbor but most are practical, independent thinkers landing along the spectrum of brand loyalists to value seeker and always having the newest equipment to getting all of the good possible out of a piece of equipment.

Farmers are not completely immune to needing to match what the neighbors are doing. Seeing a neighbor moving equipment to a field to plant sets off a mental sense of urgency to “keep up” with the actions of the neighborhood. One farmer can set off a domino effect that has every farmer in the area testing moisture and calling in harvest help. They don’t want to get left behind, which is funny because the decision of when to harvest or plant is actually fairly important. Without the right soil temperature, forecast and moisture a crop can fail to get established, and without the weather conditions and moisture levels you often sacrifice earning potential or even risk an elevator rejecting your crop.

There is great frustration in knowing you have a big job to do, getting all your preparations done and then not being able to do the work — yet.  Getting the timing right is a lot of hurrying up to wait. Hurry up and wait is an accurate oxymoron capturing the feeling of struggle when we temper our desire to move forward with knowledge that conditions aren’t quite right for you to succeed.

Harvest is a time when patience is needed in abundance. Farmers don’t mind long days, exposure to the elements and repetitive tasks. The real test of skill is shown through the ability to wait for the right moment to take action.

That’s the virtue — learning to wait, to find the right timing. In a world driven by productivity and instant gratification, patience is difficult but incredibly valuable. The next time you find yourself in a hurry up and wait moment, lean into the discomfort and take a moment to appreciate the pain and patience required for getting it right.

Insight Kansas: Hurry up and wait

Hello and happy Monday, everybody, it’s Tyler Henry, back with another KINA Sports Update presented by Salina Regional Orthopedic and Sports Medicine…

If there was one team the Kansas City Royals desperately needed to distance themselves from it was the Minnesota Twins, and on Sunday, Michael Wacha pitched seven innings of four-hit ball, Garrett Hampson and Salvador Perez drove in runs and the Royals beat the Twins 2-0 to complete a series sweep of their closest pursuers in the AL wild-card.

Wacha struck out seven while allowing just one walk in his 100th career win. He got plenty of help from his defense, which turned two double plays and threw out a runner trying to score from first base in the first inning.

With the Sweep, the Royals are now 2.5 games up on the Twins for the second Wild Card Spot and just 2.5 games behind Cleveland for first in the AL Central

In case you missed it we’ve also got a quick college football update from over the weekend where 14th-ranked Kansas State handed Tulane a 34-27 loss thanks to two Avery Johnson Touchdowns

Saturday also saw Kansas fall to Illinois 23-17 on the road, and more locally saw the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes steamroll Bethany 54-16 to bounce back to 1-1 on the year. K-Dub will be back at home to take on Southwestern College later this week.

And finally, with high school football season officially underway we’ve got three more great broadcasts coming your way this week as Southeast of Saline travels to Clay Center, Sacred Heart hosts Plainville and Chapman takes on Abilene on our Salina Post Game of the Week, all three games kick off at 7

That’s your sports update for today, but for even more great area sports content like this, check out Salina Post and stay tuned to KINA.

Updating urban boundary, animal services study session, on Salina City Comm. Sept. 9 agenda

Bacterial pneumonia and sepsis are leading causes of hospitalization and death. Researchers in Kansas State University's Division of Biology have discovered that dysfunction of the body's immune response to bacterial infection may be part of the problem.

Pankaj Baral, assistant professor of biology, and Prabhu Raj Joshi, doctoral student in microbiology, are studying how nervous and immune system crosstalk, or bilateral signaling, impacts the body's ability to fight pneumonia caused by the Gram-negative bacteria known as carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, or CRKP.

The researchers published their study, "Lung-innervating nociceptor sensory neurons promote pneumonic sepsis during carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae lung infection," in Science Advances, a member of the Science family of journals.

CRKP bacteria are the most common cause of hospital-acquired lung infections and are a major contributor to fatal pneumonia-induced sepsis, or pneumonic sepsis, among hospitalized patients. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers CRKP and other Gram-negative bacteria an urgent public health threat and states that an alternative non-antibiotic treatment for Gram-negative pneumonia and pneumonic sepsis is essential.

Baral and Joshi's study investigated the role of neuroimmune signaling in bacterial pneumonia, focusing on lung-innervating nociceptor sensory neurons — neurons that mediate pain — during lung infection with CRKP.

Normally, the sensory nervous system protects the body by sensing and responding to noxious stimuli. However, the study showed that during lung infection by CRKP, the sensory nervous system is detrimental, and lung-innervating sensory neurons, meant to defend against pneumonia and sepsis, seem to be the culprit.

"Our study showed that nociceptor activation and pain sensations, normally considered critical defense mechanisms, actually enhance CRKP infection and pneumonia lethality," said Joshi. "So, we think that CRKP might employ nociceptor neuron activation to establish infection and cause severe disease such as sepsis."

This discovery could help scientists develop a non-antibiotic sepsis treatment that targets nociceptor neurons or blocks their receptor signaling pathways.

In fact, the team is collaborating with researchers at the University of Kansas to perform high-throughput screening of small molecules to identify the most potent chemical inhibitors of nociceptor signaling for use as a therapeutic treatment for Gram-negative pneumonia and sepsis.

Baral's research has received funding from the National Institutes of Health, the American Lung Association, the American Heart Association and Kansas State University's Johnson Cancer Research Center.

Saline County Jail Bookings, Sept. 9

Beginning on September 6 phones will ring across Salina USD 305 as a comprehensive survey of patrons’ opinions begins.

School district officials say the survey will provide insight into what residents think about the district’s strengths, challenges and other important issues.

“This survey lets us hear from a range of patrons about our performance and various issues,” said Linn Exline, USD 305 superintendent. “We’ll gather insights from all parts of the district, across age groups, from newcomers to long-term residents.”

The phone survey was designed by ExcellenceK12, a Kansas City-based market research firm that has worked with school districts across the Midwest.

The calling will be done by Market Research Associates, a Kansas City firm, which uses only professional researchers. Participants will be selected totally at random, and all responses will be kept completely confidential.

In general, calls will be placed between 7 and 9 p.m. on weekdays, and noon to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. The caller ID may show “Market Research Associates,” or it may simply show an 816 or 913 area code, because the company uses calling facilities in both Missouri and Kansas.

For those who are not contacted at random on the phone, an online version of the survey will be available on the district’s website. The online surveys will be open from September 7 through 12 a.m. on September 21.&nbsp;

The survey process will take about two weeks to complete, and the district is asking patrons to listen for their phones to ring.

“We're grateful to be part of a community that truly values education," Exline said. "If you're contacted for the survey, please take a moment to respond and share your thoughts.”

Saline County Jail Bookings Sept. 8

BY:&nbsp;<a href="https://kansasreflector.com/author/katiemckellar/">KATIE MCKELLAR</a> Kansas Reflector

Child safety advocates at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City are urging parents to be cautious of purchasing car seats online, warning that they’ve seen a rise in the number of parents unknowingly buying counterfeit car seats.

Many counterfeit car seats — though they may appear legitimate at first glance —&nbsp;don’t meet U.S. safety standards and often lack crucial safety features that protect children in car crashes. Advocates worry that using these car seats could be putting children’s lives at risk.

“It’s hard to tell a car seat is counterfeit from a small picture online, and many parents think they found a great deal from a major retailer,” said Michelle Jamison, community health program manager at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital. “Once they realize there’s a problem and try to return it, the site they got it from has already been taken down.”

Hospital officials warned that even though car seats purchased online can be “enticing” because of their discounts, “what often confuses parents is that these seats are found on the websites of major national retailers through third-party sellers.”

For years, Primary Children’s Hospital has offered in-person and virtual car seat checks to help parents learn how to properly install and use car seats. It’s during these checks where caregivers have started noticing more counterfeit car seats pop up, Jamison said.

“The counterfeit car seats that Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital caregivers are seeing look legitimate and can cost hundreds of dollars,” the news release said. “But many of these are missing key components that keep children safe in a crash, and they worry that using these seats could have deadly consequences.”

Jilian Davis is one parent who learned she had a counterfeit car seat from Primary Children’s.

A family member gifted Davis the car seat, which was purchased online. After giving birth in June, Davis’ daughter spent two weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Intermountain LDS Hospital and Primary Children’s before she went home. As they were preparing to leave the hospital, a car seat tech assisting them realized the car seat was counterfeit, according to hospital officials.

“It’s completely shocking because this is my fourth child and I’ve never heard of this being an issue,” Davis said in a prepared statement. “It’s scary to think I could have been driving around with my child in a car seat that’s dangerous.”

Primary Children’s gave Davis a car seat to use, but now Davis said she wants to warn other parents and family members who might not know better.

How do you know if a car seat is counterfeit?

“Experts say the best way to avoid counterfeit car seats is to buy directly from the manufacturer’s website or go to a store in person to purchase the seat,” Primary Children’s officials said. “All these models will be legitimate and meet safety standards.”

While online discounts are tempting, Jamison said it’s worth paying the extra money to ensure your children’s safety.

“Parents may think an in-store purchase is more expensive but what they’re really getting is the peace of mind their child’s car seat is safe,” Jamison said. “While some models are pricey, there are less expensive ones that are still crash tested and safe.”

To adhere to federal safety standards, all car seats must have the following:

“Counterfeit car seats are often missing the labels, or they’re written in another language,” hospital officials said. “Sometimes these labels have grammatical errors, and the wording doesn’t make sense.”

Jamison urged parents to check their car seats. If they discover they may be counterfeit or not adhere to U.S. safety standards, “stop using it immediately and contact the retailer to notify them that they sold a counterfeit car seat,” Jamison said.

“You may be able to recover the cost of the seat if you used a credit card or purchased through a major retailer,” she added.

Parents can report counterfeit car seats through&nbsp;<a href="https://www.stopfakes.gov/welcome" target="_blank">STOPfakes.gov</a>, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle-safety/car-seats-and-booster-seats" target="_blank">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration</a>&nbsp;(NHTSA) or the U.S. Department of Commerce via their&nbsp;<a href="https://www.usa.gov/agencies/u-s-department-of-commerce" target="_blank">contact form</a>.

Hospital officials also encouraged parents to submit a report through their state’s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.usa.gov/state-consumer" target="_blank">consumer protection</a>&nbsp;agency.

Parents needing help with their car seat can&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle-safety/car-seats-and-booster-seats#installation-help-inspection" target="_blank">find a technician</a>&nbsp;in their area. They can also call Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital to book a virtual or in-person car seat check at 801-662-CARS.

🎤Forward Ever: Ms. Wheelchair America Tamara Blackwell

By SALINA POST Salina Police Department (SPD) Officers arrested a man after a rooftop break-in on Thursday, September 5 in Salina.&nbsp;

SPD Officers responded to a home on North Second Street at 5:36 p.m. after a Salina homeowner reported hearing strange noises coming from his roof.

When he went outside to investigate, he found a man, later identified as 32-year-old Ricardo Adolfo Lopez Garcia, attempting to break in through the second-floor vents.&nbsp; Garcia gained access to the second story using the homeowner’s ladder.&nbsp;

“We show up and we're telling the guy ‘Get down off the roof,’” SPD. Cpt. David Villanueva said. “The resident has no idea who this guy is. He had never seen him before.”

Garcia failed to comply with officers and began ripping at the home’s exterior vents, and some siding. “The officers say to the homeowner, ‘Can we go get him? The resident says, ‘Yes, of course, go get him,’” Villanueva said. “One officer went in there tried to get this guy into custody. He started to fight the officer.”

A second officer entered the residence. &nbsp;“He struck one of the officers in the leg and head butted another," Villanueva said.

Police eventually restrained Garcia using a body wrap.

The house sustained approximately $2,500 worth of damage, including damage to the siding and a satellite dish.

Garcia was taken to the hospital for evaluation, where he allegedly made threatening comments to staff, leading to additional charges of disorderly conduct.&nbsp;

In total, he faces charges of aggravated burglary, battery of law enforcement officers, criminal damage to property, and disorderly conduct.

Villanueva said neither officer required medical services.&nbsp;

SPD officers arrest man after rooftop burglary

Hello and happy Friday, everybody, it’s Tyler Henry, back with another KINA Sports Update presented by Salina Regional Orthopedic and Sports Medicine…

The NFL is officially BACK and last night the Kansas City Chiefs were reminded that football is a game of inches when Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely caught what would have been a toe-tap touchdown in the back of the end zone to set up a tie, only to have the score overturned and the game end as a 27-20 Chiefs victory.

All the stars turned up in the win, as rookie wideout Xavier Worthy scored two touchdowns on two touches, Rashee Rice hauled in 7 passes for 100 yards and Isaiah Pacheco tacked on 78 yards between the air and the ground

Likely’s toe stretching out to the end line ultimately cost the Ravens their fifth loss to the Chiefs in six meetings

Today also marks the start of the high school football season across the state of Kansas, and we’ve got you covered with three great matchups broadcast 100% free with live stream video and commentary on Salina Post.

Southeast of Saline takes on an NCAA foe in Minneapolis at 7:00 in Gypsum tonight, that game can also be heard here on KINA

Meanwhile in Salina, it’s the 55th Mayor’s Cup matchup between Salina South and Salina Central

And finally, the Sacred Heart Knights will be in Salina looking for a statement win over the Ellsworth Bearcats&nbsp;

910 KINA Sports Headlines — September 6

Current and future residents of Salina Presbyterian Manor have a lot to look forward to. An expansion to grow, beautify, and upgrade the manor has entered a new phase, and it requires the support of the Saline County community.

<a href="https://www.presbyterianmanors.org/communities/salina-presbyterian-manor/">Salina Presbyterian Manor</a> has received a generous grant of $1 million from the <a href="https://mabeefoundation.com/">Mabee Foundation</a>, out of Tulsa, Okla. It is a “challenge grant,” contingent on the community meeting its fundraising goal. That’s why the manor is asking for your help.

The manor has a strong reputation for quality services and is the market leader as the only Life Plan community in the Salina area, offering a continuum of living options and health services. It’s already a beloved community – by residents, their families, and staff members alike.


“Moving to Salina Presbyterian Manor is the best choice I’ve ever made,” says Amy Hoffman who’s been living at the manor for 17 years. “I adore where I live now and the staff is so kind, loving, warm, and capable.”

The expansion began with Phase One in 2022 with 29 new villas, custom-built for vibrant and independent older adults. Now, the community is raising $10 million for Phase Two through its “Preserving Legacies, Enriching Lives” campaign to renovate the campus, which has not had a major update in more than a decade.


This phase will give the community a facelift with a new entrance, a redesigned lobby and welcome center. It will also give residents more dining choices, with a new dining room offering chef-curated menus, a bistro for lighter meals, and a cocktail lounge for residents to gather.

Wellness is also at the core of life at the manor. A state-of-the-art wellness center will include a new pool with aquatic classes and rehab, new exercise equipment, new locker rooms and a new space for professionally trained staff and therapists to work with residents on site.

“This would be a dream come true,” said Lisa Anderson, a long-time employee. “I love that there will be more options for our rehab residents to exercise. These updates will most definitely increase the quality of life for our residents and our guests.”

Finally, offices will be updated to better accommodate employees and guests, and a new multi-purpose room will help residents and visitors enjoy educational events, games, and other special occasions.

“I would be so proud to see the manor keep up with the times,” says Hoffman. “It would certainly enrich our lives to have these updates that we’ve needed for a long time. I’m proud of the leadership team taking such interest in improving our already wonderful home.”

Residents, their families, friends, and supporters of Salina Presbyterian Manor have already helped the community raise $4.1 million. “Gifts have ranged from $50 to $1 million,” says Jenni Jones, Director of Giving. “We are overwhelmed by the generosity of our donors and so grateful to each and every one of them.”&nbsp;

And the clock is ticking. To receive the $1 million grant from the Mabee Foundation, the fundraising campaign must raise $2.3 million by July 2025.

You can help Salina Presbyterian Manor make its vision at reality so it can continue living its mission to provide quality senior services guided by Christian values.

Salina Presbyterian Manor — investing in senior living

By NATE KING Salina Post

Salina residents will have the opportunity to breathe new life into their broken belongings at the Repair Café set to take place on Saturday, September 7. The event will run from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the <a href="https://www.salinaartcenter.org/fallclasses">Salina Art Center Warehouse</a>, located at 149 South Fourth Street.

The Repair Café is a community-focused initiative where skilled volunteers offer their expertise to fix a variety of items. Whether it's electrical repairs, flat tires on bikes, jewelry mending, sewing projects, book binding, or small woodworking tasks, volunteers are ready to assist with quick fixes.

The Art Center Wearhouse held its first Repair Cafe event in April. Salina Art Center Education Director, Darren Morawitz, who will repair wooden items at the Repair Cafe said his joy of fixing things began back when he was a kid on the farm.

" I grew up on a farm in Hutchison. It was a small farm, but definitely my dad and both my grandfathers never wanted to call a repairman if they could help it," Morawitz said. "I was the only one who could crawl in the crawl spaces. So I grew up at a young age doing all the plumbing."

Morawitz said he feels uniquely cathartic after he helps someone by repairing an item. He talked about fixing a woman's suitcase back in April.&nbsp;

&nbsp;"We repaired a suitcase that had a wheel broken on it and she admitted to that if we couldn't fix it, it was like a $20 suitcase, like she got from Goodwill or something. But we did fix it," Morawitz said.&nbsp;"Art is just problem-solving. That is all it is creative problem solving. So this is just a different form of art — the art of repair."

In addition to repairing household items, the event offers a special activity for children. Kids are encouraged to bring their broken crayons, which will be melted down and transformed into new ones that they can use again.

 The event is made possible through the generous support of dedicated volunteers and partnerships with The Salina Public Library, the Art Center Warehouse, The Kansas Wesleyan University Community Resiliency Hub, and North Salina Community Development.&nbsp;

Morawitz explained that only small and medium-sized items can be brought to the Repair Cafe, so please make sure items can be held in your hands.&nbsp;

If you would like to volunteer to repair items for the Repair Cafe, contact&nbsp;<a href="mailto:dmorawitz@salinaartcenter.org">Darren Morawitz&nbsp;here</a>.&nbsp;

Kansas Wesleyan Coaches Show- Week Two

Submitted Community has always been an integral part of Kansas Wesleyan, and the relationship between Salina and KWU is vital to the university’s success. In recognition of this importance, KWU is proud to announce the Saline County MBA Scholarship, which will launch this spring.&nbsp; Students with either Saline County employment or a Saline County home address will receive $100 off per class, reducing the total cost of the program to around $13,000.&nbsp;

“Salina and the greater Saline County area have always been an important part of Kansas Wesleyan,” said Ken Oliver, executive vice president of advancement and university operations. “This is a way for us to both give back and raise the area up, all by making a graduate degree even more accessible. By bettering the local business community, we can help build connections for our students, we can increase awareness of Kansas Wesleyan’s academic prowess and we can make our community an even better place. We’re looking forward to seeing the results of this scholarship in years to come.”

The Saline County MBA Scholarship will be for students enrolling in the spring and fall of 2025 and the spring and fall of 2026, after which time the program will be evaluated. A form proving residency or employment will be required.&nbsp;
