Riley Co. Arrest Report Friday June 18

MANHATTAN — With high temperatures scorching much of the country, a Kansas State University veterinarian is reminding pet owners that dogs, with that layer of fur, are susceptible to the heat. As the summer heat index rises, the risk for dehydrated and overheated dogs does the same, said Susan Nelson, clinical professor at the university's&nbsp;<a href="http://www.vet.k-state.edu/vhc/" target="_blank">Veterinary Health Center</a>. Nelson said it's important to recognize the signs of heatstroke in your pet and know what you can do to prevent it from becoming a problem. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, when temperatures outside range from 80 to 100 degrees, the temperature inside a car parked in direct sunlight can quickly climb to between 130 to 172 degrees. That means it's best to leave pets at home when running errands, Nelson said. "Even with the windows cracked, we should never leave our pets in a vehicle unattended," Nelson said. "For what might seem like a short trip into the bank, it can end up being fatal for our pets." To prevent heatstroke in your pets, Nelson said to keep in mind the time of day you take them outside for walks or runs. She recommends taking them out in the cooler morning or later evening hours. "Even if they have never had a problem with heat before, watch for signs of lagging behind, thick saliva and dark mucus membranes," Nelson said. These are all indications your dog might be starting to get heat stress." The following are some of the symptoms Nelson said to watch for when trying to detect heatstroke in your dog: • Body temperature above 103 degrees. • Excessive or vigorous panting. • Dark red, blue or purple gums. • Thick saliva and excessive drooling. • Dizziness or disorientation. • Restlessness or appearing distressed. • Rapid heart rate or irregular heartbeat. • Vomiting or urinating blood, or traces of blood in bowel movements. • Seizures and muscle tremors. • Lying down and unwilling or unable to get up. • Collapse or loss of consciousness where the animal cannot be awakened. If you think your dog is starting to become overheated, move it to a shaded area and offer cool water to drink until the dog has cooled down, Nelson said. If your dog is showing signs of more advanced heat stress, wet it down with cool water — not ice water — and place the dog in front of a fan. If its condition does not change, run the air conditioning in your car and get the dog to a veterinarian for further treatment immediately, as every second counts, she said. Dehydration also can be a problem with pets on hot summer days. Nelson said signs of severe dehydration, especially in dogs, include the appearance of sunken eyes, gums feeling dry and tacky, and overall weakness in the animal. Dogs pant to cool down, and they tend to pant frequently when overheated and tired, she said. "When the air goes by, they dissipate the heat by breathing this way, but this also means it is easier for them to dehydrate more quickly when they're panting a lot," Nelson said. Nelson also recommends that outdoor dogs and cats have access to plenty of fresh, clean water. Water bowls should be checked and filled as needed several times per day during hot weather. Food should be changed a minimum of twice daily, as it spoils quickly in warm weather and flies are attracted to food that is left out, she said. If left outside, your pets should have access to shade any time of the day, so be sure to check periodically throughout the day to ensure shade is available. If you don’t have any trees, etc., you can hang a tarp to create shade for them.&nbsp;

If you notice your pet having medical problems contact a veterinarian immediately. You can also reach out to the Kansas State University Veterinary Health Center at 785-532-5690.&nbsp;

TOPEKA – (June 17, 2021) –&nbsp;Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt yesterday joined a coalition of state attorneys general asking a federal appeals court to uphold a lower court's ruling striking down a California law banning certain rifles.

Schmidt joined 21 states in asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit to keep in place a federal district court ruling that struck down a California law banning the manufacture, sale and possession of certain modern rifles, namely the AR-15 platform.

“Calling modern rifles ‘assault rifles’ is a misnomer – they are most often used by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes like personal protection or target and sport shooting. There is nothing sinister about citizens keeping or bearing a modern rifle,” the attorneys general wrote in their court filing. “Law-abiding citizens keeping and bearing modern rifles benefit public safety, counter-balance the threat of illegal gun violence, and help make our homes and streets safer.”

Earlier in June, a federal judge struck down California’s law, ruling it violated the Second Amendment. California’s attorney general is now appealing and has requested an emergency stay. A copy of the court filing in the case of&nbsp;Miller v. Bonta&nbsp;can be found at&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/35qezoG" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/35qezoG</a>.

RILEY&nbsp;– Today, Governor Laura Kelly congratulated the City of Riley for receiving&nbsp;$335,000 in&nbsp;Cost&nbsp;Share&nbsp;funds. The city will use the funds to correct drainage issues and provide safer walking paths along North Main and West Walnut streets.

“Congratulations&nbsp;to the City of Riley for receiving $335,000 in the latest round of&nbsp;Cost&nbsp;Share&nbsp;funding,”&nbsp;said Governor Laura Kelly. “By working with our local partners to invest in our communities, our&nbsp;Cost&nbsp;Share&nbsp;program is improving road safety, mobility, and helping recruit new families and businesses to our state. This project is proof that when we work together to make smart, innovative investments in our foundation, all Kansans see results.”

A component of the Kelly Administration’s 10-year, bipartisan transportation plan, the&nbsp;Cost&nbsp;Share&nbsp;program is designed to&nbsp;help rural and urban areas advance transportation projects to improve safety, support job retention and growth, relieve congestion, and improve access and mobility.&nbsp;Riley was among 30&nbsp;transportation construction projects selected for the Spring 2021&nbsp;Cost&nbsp;Share&nbsp;recipients.

According to Riley Mayor Tim Sharp, the project, which will enhance safety for pedestrians and drivers using the two high-traffic streets, may not have been feasible without the&nbsp;Cost&nbsp;Share&nbsp;funds.

“I was very happy to hear we’d been selected,”&nbsp;said&nbsp;Mayor Sharp&nbsp;of receiving the&nbsp;Cost&nbsp;Share&nbsp;funding. “Riley is a small town, so when an influx like this is received it makes a big impact on what we can do.”

The project involves the installation of a drainage system, new storm pipes, sidewalks and a pedestrian bridge.

Demand is high for&nbsp;Cost&nbsp;Share&nbsp;transportation dollars. Michelle Needham, Economic Development Programs Manager for KDOT, said 117 communities requested more than $103 million in funding for this, the fourth round of the&nbsp;Cost&nbsp;Share&nbsp;program.

“KDOT was impressed with how this round of&nbsp;Cost&nbsp;Share&nbsp;projects hit markers for economic development, safety and community support,”&nbsp;said Needham. “Recognizing the need to support economic recovery, KDOT and our&nbsp;Cost&nbsp;Share&nbsp;partners are working collaboratively to expedite delivery on selected projects.”

KDOT is investing $21 million in this cycle of&nbsp;Cost&nbsp;Share&nbsp;with recipients contributing a combined total 50/50 match of $21 million, a total of $42 million in funding&nbsp;through state and local partnerships. The agency&nbsp;took advantage of 2020 federal coronavirus relief funds by doubling the available&nbsp;Cost&nbsp;Share&nbsp;funding for this round. Selection criteria was adjusted to consider hardships caused by the pandemic and points were added to communities that endured above-average economic loss.

Munson Prime steakhouse in Junction City was destroyed by fire in February. An investigation by multiple agencies and department could not determine the cause of the fire.

According to owner Deanna Munson, the cause is being listed as undetermined. "After all of their refined levels of investigation looking into the various aspects that will cause a fire or building to burn there was nothing to show positive that caused it in the line in any of the electrical, any of the equipment and that sort of thing." Munson added at some point you make a determination that the fire destruction was so complete the cause could not be determined."

&nbsp;The debris will be removed and the Munson Prime site located adjacent to Goldenbelt Boulevard will be cleaned. A security fence around the property will remain in place until that work is completed.

Munson praised the cooperation of local authorities on the investigation as being exceptional.

The university said this will eliminate a fee previously assessed on all online courses.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - More than 4,500 Topekans have hopped on a bird scooter since the program first launched in April but some riders are using the service for illegal activity.

A representative from Bird Scooters had a discussion with Topeka City Council, Tuesday night.

They discussed a change to the service after several incidents of graffiti, drawn by tire marks, popped up around the city.

The service is adding geofencing and no wheel zones, which brings riders to a gradual stop when they enter certain zones during certain times.

Geofencing was implemented in identified problem areas for skid mark graffiti and areas such as downtown and Gage Park.

The no wheel zone for the downtown area is effective Thursday through Sunday after 11 P.M.

Bird says that they will actively work with TPD to resolve the issue and identify culprits but councilman Mike Lesser believes their resources should be focused elsewhere.

“I don’t want law enforcement enforcing traffic laws in regard to scooters, that’s not what they’re here for. We’ve had a tragic past couple of days with shootings and we’re short staff and its tough enough, the last thing I want is our law enforcement officers worrying about citations for scooter graffiti.”

Bird says they do have plans to bring non-skid wheels to the area.

WASHINGTON — Senator Roger Marshall is working to recognize June as National Dairy Month.

Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) says he and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) were joined by 14 other colleagues to introduce a bipartisan resolution to support the designation of June 2021 as National Dairy Month. He said the resolution is meant to recognize the important role dairy plays in a healthy diet and the exceptional work of dairy producers.

“Dairy products provide essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D which help reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases. Unfortunately, about 90 percent of Americans don’t meet dairy recommendations which will leave them vulnerable to poor health outcomes in the future,” said Senator Marshall. “Our bipartisan resolution encourages Americans to gain a deeper understanding of how dairy fuels our bodies as well as the practices used by hardworking farmers and producers across the country to ensure we have access to nutritious dairy products.”

“As the fourth-largest producer of milk and the largest producer of yogurt, cottage cheese, and sour cream, New York State is well-versed in the rich benefits dairy products have to offer,” said Senator Gillibrand. “This resolution establishes June as ‘National Dairy Month’ to help all Americans understand the important role dairy products play in a nutritious and healthy diet.”

According to Sen. Marshall, the U.S. dairy industry is a key driver in the national food system and supports residents nutritionally and economically. According to the&nbsp;<a href="https://dietaryguidelines.gov/" target="_blank">2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans,</a>&nbsp;he said diary products and certain soy beverages have a nutritional makeup that puts them ahead of curve in maintaining good health and reduced the risk of chronic diseases. He said the resolution also highlights the economic impact of dairy producers in the U.S. and encourages consumers to visit dairy producers to gain a better understanding of production. He said it is estimated that the U.S. dairy industry supported 3.3 million jobs and $41.6 billion in direct wages to support workers and their families.

GoFundMe raises over $70K for airmen killed, injured in training accident near Salina

KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 16, 2021 –&nbsp;Air conditioners will whirr into overtime this week as many communities Evergy serves including Junction City and Manhattan anticipate temperatures over the century mark. Evergy teams operating power plants and maintaining the power grid are working around the clock to ensure power is available to serve customers.

“Our system is ready for summer’s 100-degree days and to provide reliable electricity as customers aim to stay comfortable,” said Chuck Caisley, senior vice president and chief customer officer. “We appreciate the Evergy plant and field employees who work in harsh conditions to make sure our customers have the power they need.”

Evergy power plants are available near their full capacity to ensure customer needs can be fully met. Teams at generation facilities completed maintenance work during the milder spring months to prepare for the summer season so plants would be available when needed most. Improved wind conditions as the week continues will also add to the available power supply for customers. &nbsp;

Evergy is a member of the Southwest Power Pool, which coordinates generation and transmission in our region. SPP forecasts also indicate that generation resources will be available to meet customer needs in the region. Last Friday, the SPP issued a resource alert through 9 p.m. Wednesday, as it predicted that regional electricity load could reach as high as 96% of its all-time regional peak this week. Since that time, the SPP announced Tuesday afternoon that it is in a position to serve the regional load this week with room for contingencies, and no calls for customer conservation have been needed.

Evergy ready as Kansas, Missouri see first wave of extreme summer heat

Staying hydrated is important during the current heat wave. Geary County Emergency Management Director Garry Berges said drink extra water, or Gatorade. "Stay away from the soft drinks, but the main thing is to try to stay hydrated. Try to stay out of the heat as much as possible."

Riley Co. Arrest Report Wednesday June 16

At their June 1 meeting, the City Commission approved $15,000 in financing to support a feasibility study exploring options for an indoor aquatic center in Manhattan. According to the City a team of professionals led by Anderson Knight Architects and joined by McCown Gordon Construction and Counsilman-Hunsaecker (aquatics specialists) will prepare the study. The goal will be to develop an Opinion of Probable Cost for the pool and building associated with an indoor aquatic facility. 

The study will outline the expenses and revenues associated with construction and operations for an indoor aquatics center. In addition, a conceptual plan will be developed for the proposed site, location, and general layout. The professional team has offered services to the City at a discounted rate of  $15,000. Traditionally a scope and fee for this type of project would cost the City an estimated $100,000 - $120,000.

The City is forming a steering committee to help guide the process and provide input about the plans, including feedback about the types of amenities that could be available at this facility. Committee members should expect 3-5 meetings from July 2021 through October 2021 followed by a formal recommendation to the City Commission. Anyone interested in serving on the steering committee is asked to complete the online application form by 5:00 PM Friday, June 25. The Mayor and City Commission will appoint members at the July 6 City Commission meeting.
