Riley Co. Arrest Report Saturday January 23

Fort Riley officials conducted a controlled grassland burn on their training on Friday. It resulted in smoke filling the sky throughout the Junction City area.

Garry Berges, Geary County Emergency Management Director, said the controlled burn covered several training areas. "Because of the temperature and lack of wind the smoke stayed low to the ground. "

Multiple calls were received via 911, and also at the Sheriff's Department, Junction City Police Department and the Geary County Emergency Management. "We confirmed it all came from Fort Riley. The smoke was even seen as far away as Enterprise, which is about 20 miles."

Berges confirmed the smoke was expected to drift on out of the area Friday evening. He stated that he thought about 16-hundred acres were burned on post during the controlled burn. "It was all grassland out on the range. It was a controlled burn done by Fort Riley."

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Leaders of six state universities in Kansas will have more flexibility in deciding to suspend or fire employees, including tenured faculty, under a temporary policy approved by the Kansas Board of Regents.

The regents said Thursday that the new policy, which will be in effect until Dec. 31, 2022, was necessary because of costs associated with the coronavirus pandemic, a reduction in state funding and declining enrollment. Last week, Gov. Laura Kelly released a budget that included a $27 million cut for higher education.

The board gave CEOs of the universities 45 days to create frameworks they would use to determine whether to suspend, dismiss or fire employees. The frameworks could include factors such as performance evaluations, productivity, low enrollment or reduction in revenues for departments and schools.

Aleksander Sternfeld-Dunn, a Wichita State University associate professor representing the Council of Faculty Senate Presidents, told the regents the new policy essentially suspends tenure and will damage faculty morale, “which is already struggling under the pressures of teaching during the pandemic.”

“We also believe it will open up universities to potential abuses of power and could lead to numerous lawsuits around discrimination and harassment,” he said. “We believe that the policy as stated is really using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, and we think there are far more positive ways to go about managing financial difficulties.”

Under the policy, an employee will have the right to appeal a decision by a CEO affecting their employment, with the burden of proof on the employee. After the CEO responds to the appeal, the state’s Office of Administrative Hearings would have a hearing and make a final decision.

The board would reverse a CEO’s decision only if it was inconsistent with the university’s decision-making framework, was the result of bias or discrimination or was “otherwise unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious.”

It is too soon for final decisions on Sundown Salute in 2021 but CVB Director Michelle Stimatze noted this week that the celebration in July may have to be limited. COVID-19 is the key factor.

Stimatze said that decisions have not yet been finalized at this point. "But we're looking like maybe not having a full blown Sundown Salute." Stimatze referred to possible events that could occur. "We're talking about maybe having a parade, the race - the Freedom Run and a car show. That might be the extent of it for this next year."Stimatze added that's just because of COVID.

The CVB has been coordinating the Sundown Salute celebration. Typically there are other activities ranging from vendors in the park to musical entertainment. "Well, we're probably not sure about music yet. We're just in the beginning stages of planning. It seems like COVID is going to take its course again this spring and it looks like maybe by fall time we'll have a little bit of ease on that but it's hard to make any decisions with the big events in our community."

The 2020 Fourth of July Sundown Salute celebration had to be&nbsp; cancelled due to COVID-19.&nbsp;

Riley Co. Arrest Report Thursday January 21

Manhattan— A construction crew is responsible for a fire at a hotel in Manhattan.

Just before 2:30p.m. Wednesday, fire crews were dispatched to&nbsp; The Hampton Inn,&nbsp;501 East Poyntz Avenue in Manhattan, for a report of a possible structure fire, according to Deputy Fire Chief Ryan Almes.

Upon arrival, crews found smoke and flames showing from the roof of a hotel.&nbsp; Crews immediately searched the building and helped one occupant from the structure.

During firefighting operations, a collapse occurred and a hotel room on the third floor crashed down to the ground level.&nbsp; 

The fire reached a second alarm before it was contained in just over two hours.&nbsp; The building is a three-story 72-unit hotel that was occupied at the time of the fire.&nbsp; 

The fire cause is accidental due to construction workers cutting on the roof. Riley County police asked the public to remain out of the area of East Poyntz and Frontage Road near the Hampton Inn as emergency crews worked the fire. There were no injuries reported.

The Manhattan Parks and Recreation Department recently announced a request for artist proposals to design and install a 14’ wide mural in the newly constructed Douglass Activity Center. Mural installation will begin in April 2021 and must be completed no later than June 12, 2021, for unveiling at the Juneteenth Celebration on June 19, 2021.

The Douglass Activity Center at 925 Yuma Street is scheduled to open this spring. The new center will offer sports amenities and programming, a community room, a fitness room, and an elevated three-lane walking track, which will be open to the community.

This mural project represents a unique opportunity for the selected artist to create a piece of public art representing the Black community in Manhattan. The mural’s theme should speak to the cultural and historical legacy of the area while celebrating and honoring the strength and resilience of the Black community. The mural should celebrate social justice, the creative cultural landscape, and changing attitudes toward racial equality. This mural will be the pinnacle of the Douglass Activity Center and will instill a sense of pride for the City.

“Yuma Street and the Douglass Center have been the heart of the Black community in Manhattan for generations,” said Douglass Center Director Dave Baker. “We are excited to celebrate and honor this rich history through art.”

Proposals are due by Monday, March 1 at 5:00 p.m. They must include a total project budget breakdown not to exceed $13,500 to complete the mural. For more information or to submit a proposal, please see project details at&nbsp;<a href="https://cityofmhk.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e92cc4cc1e09dc1dafa7ba9da&amp;id=413bea4692&amp;e=8c33f27c6f" target="_blank">https://www.mhkprd.com/517/Douglass-Mural-Project</a>.

KSU President Richard Myers issued a letter to the KSU community via K-State Today.

Last week the Kansas Legislature convened the 2021 session and Gov. Laura Kelly released budget recommendations for fiscal year 2022. These two events mark the start of a monthslong process sure to be filled with debate and political wrangling. Please know we are engaged and involved with our elected officials throughout the session.

The current fiscal year has been difficult as we are in the midst of a belt-tightening unlike any in recent history. We’ve seen budget reductions, furloughs and layoffs as revenues dropped precipitously and costs increased due to the pandemic. The full impacts continue to be felt throughout the university.

The governor’s proposed budget is only a starting place and given the dynamics of the legislature could change significantly. The proposed budget calls for a significant decrease in state funding for higher education, including Kansas State University. The 5.5% proposed cut for K-State would be the most significant budget reduction since 2009.

We intend to continue to work with the governor and the legislature to provide necessary funding to fulfill our land-grant mission. As we know, there may be many proposed adjustments to this budget and the situation can change quickly.

There are steps each of us can take to help. As a private citizen, you can reach out to your local state representative and senator and advocate for higher education. Please remember not to use state resources, including your K-State email, for any political activity. If you have questions, please refer to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.k-state.edu/govrelations/">Office of Governmental Relations</a>&nbsp;website. The K-State Alumni Association sponsors&nbsp;<a href="https://www.k-state.com/participate/alumniandfriends/wildcatsforhighereducation/index.php">Wildcats for Higher Education</a>, which works to ensure that higher education and K-State remain a valued contributor to the lives of Kansas citizens.

The long-term disinvestment in higher education in Kansas does not bode well for the future of the state, nor the health of its universities. The return on investment for higher education has been demonstrated time and again, this trend must be reversed if Kansas is to see economic growth and a more prosperous citizenry.
