Manhattan hit hottest temperature recorded, at 115 degrees

By ALLISON KITE,&nbsp;<a href="https://kansasreflector.com/2023/04/06/epa-estimates-more-than-54000-lead-pipes-remain-in-kansas/">Kansas Reflector</a>

Intolerable heat and humidity that hovered over Kansas last month set daily maximum temperature records across the state and rivaled all-time highs.

The heat that drove readings into the 110s and heat indices even higher served as a preview of what could become even more severe and frequent weather events as the effects of climate change worsen.&nbsp;

“This is an extreme event, but it’s not a one-off,” said Jason Furtado, an associate professor of meteorology at the University of Oklahoma. “These are things that, unfortunately, we’re going to have to be contending with.”

In late August, a “heat dome” or high pressure system, sat over the central U.S. for days on end, bringing unrelenting heat and humidity that fogged up windows and drove the heat index in Lawrence to 134 degrees. The average high temperature in Kansas on Aug. 19 spiked at 105 degrees, and several sites across the state climbed into the 110s.&nbsp;

The hottest temperature recorded that week in Kansas was on Aug. 19, when Manhattan reached 115 degrees, the highest maximum temperature ever recorded at that site, which is part of the Kansas Mesonet, a network of weather stations across the state. Manhattan was one of three sites that recorded its highest temperature of all time between Aug. 19 and 25.&nbsp;

The all-time high temperature recorded in Kansas came during the Dust Bowl, when Alton and Fredonia hit 121 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.&nbsp;

While not the hottest ever, the August heat wave was striking because of the humidity that drove up heat indices — a measure of how hot the air feels because of the humidity.&nbsp;

The water-vapor like air can be perilous for human health.&nbsp;

Bryan Beaver, EMS physician advisor at the University of Kansas Health System, said in an interview during the heatwave that doctors were seeing a surge of patients with heat-related illnesses, such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke.&nbsp;

“I would say that this is definitely one of the worst we’ve had —&nbsp;certainly in a few years,” Beaver said.&nbsp;

The National Weather Service reported the August heat wave resulted in the most consecutive days with maximum temperatures exceeding 100 degrees in more than a decade in Wichita and Salina.&nbsp;

The heat index in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, reached more than 115 degrees for five straight days, breaking the previous three-day record set in 1995.&nbsp;

Matthew Sittel, assistant climatologist, said Cherokee County in southeast Kansas saw heat indices above 105 degrees for a week straight.&nbsp;

“If I’m going to pick the place that I don’t want to be, that would be the one,” he said. “… The cumulative effects of being subjected to those extremes are potentially lethal.”

Riley County Arrest Report September 9

TOPEKA —In accordance with Executive Order #20-30, Governor Laura Kelly directed flags throughout Kansas be lowered to half-staff on all state buildings, grounds, and facilities from sunup to sundown on Monday, September 11, 2023, to honor those who lost who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.&nbsp;

“22 years after an act of terrorism took the lives of nearly 3,000 Americans, injured thousands more, and scarred so many of us, we continue to say, ‘Never Forget,’”&nbsp;Governor Laura Kelly said.&nbsp;

“But the extreme tragedy of that day is only half the story. We also remember that our country’s brave first responders went above and beyond the call of duty to save lives – even as they lost more than 400 of their own. They did that 22 years ago, and they continue to do so to this day. On behalf of the State of Kansas, thank you for your service and your sacrifice.”&nbsp;

CalfDex now available for IPhone, Android devices

K-State Research and Extension news service

Kansas State University agricultural economics and veterinary medicine staff are taking their knowledge on animal record-keeping to mobile phones with an app that is now available in app stores for IPhone and Android devices.

K-State livestock economist Ted Schroeder said the app, called CalfDex, is free to download. It was developed by agricultural economist master’s graduate Jake Hefley (who now works at the University of Missouri), master’s candidate Audrey Marchek, K-State veterinarian Bob Larson and Schroeder.

The project was funded by a grant from the USDA Federal-State Marketing Improvement Program.

“Our team is eager to provide users with a convenient and easy-to-use modern animal data management tool to keep pace in an ever-changing industry,” Schroeder said. “Considering the growing importance of information exchange in the beef supply chain, there is value in an application that has the ability to store and upload data at the whole-herd and individual animal levels, while also facilitating easy downstream data sharing.”

The app is designed for use in the field even where cell phone service is not available. Schroeder said CalfDex enables producers to maintain efficient and accurate calving, weaning and treatment records – mitigating the risk of clutter, data loss and misplacement that is commonly seen with paper records. The data is also stored across calving seasons for easy access.

Schroeder said the app allows users to protect information with a unique email address and password, established by the user.

“Because it has the capability to track multiple herds and individual animal information, CalfDex is tailored to meet the needs of all sizes of calving operations, from large purebred enterprises to a 4-H or FFA student beginning their first beef breeding project,” Schroeder said.

More information on the app, including a description of its functions,&nbsp;<a href="https://agmanager.info/livestock-meat/cross-subject-areas/introduction-and-emerging-features-calfdex-new-calving">is available online</a>, as well as on&nbsp;<a href="https://agmanager.info/">AgManager,</a>&nbsp;a website maintained by K-State’s Department of Agricultural Economics.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — From bread-making demonstrations to virtual combine rides to wheat foods competitions, wheat is one of the core ingredients of Kansas State Fair traditions. Whether coming for carnival rides, concerts or contests, scout out everywhere wheat is featured at the fair, which runs this year from September 8 to 17.&nbsp;

Check Out Bread Baking Demonstrations &amp; Contests

Cindy Falk, Kansas Wheat nutrition educator, gave her first Kansas State Fair presentation on “Neat Wheat Treats” as a spokesperson for the Kansas Wheat Commission 35 years ago on a similar state in the Pride of Kansas building. Falk will demonstrate the winning recipe from the 2023 National Festival of Breads. Join her on Wednesday, September 13, from 11-11:30 a.m. in the Domestic Arts building to learn how to make the Cheese Lover’s Barbecue Bread developed by Gloria Piantek West Lafayette, IN.&nbsp;

“The creative ingredient combinations, the circular twisted shape and the undeniable taste made this recipe rise to the top,” Falk said. “Join me to learn how to shape the dough and make this cheesy comfort food for your next tailgate party.”&nbsp;

Joining Falk, Wilma Olds from Wilson, will also demonstrate her submission for the 2023 National Festival of Breads - Nutty Peanut Butter Cinnamon Braids. Her recipe earned an honorable mention in the Go Nuts category. Stay for samples, recipes and a gift bag from the Kansas Wheat Commission, Home Baking Association and Red Star Yeast.

Find Farm Fun for Kansas Kids in Agriland

For more than 30 years, Kansas agricultural organizations have shared interactive, hands-on activities with the younger state fair attendees in Agriland in the Pride of Kansas building. The educational exhibit will be open for the length of the state fair. Stop by to take a ride in a virtual combine (our favorite), sift different types of grain between your fingers or milk a mechanical cow.&nbsp;

“Kansas Wheat is proud to help sponsor and work this hands-on educational exhibit,” Falk said. “Stop by the Pride of Kansas building to check out this farm-to-fork education for fair-goers.”&nbsp;

Teachers who visit Agriland can sign up for free lesson plans provided by the Kansas Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. These lesson plans connect classrooms to Kansas agriculture by learning more about food, fiber and fuel, why agriculture is so important to Kansas and the opportunities for careers in agriculture.

MANHATTAN, Kan. - BeEtta "Be" Stoney, longtime Kansas State University faculty athletics representative, died Tuesday, Sept. 5.

Stoney served as K-State's faculty athletics representative for 13 years, 2010-2023, and worked closely with K-State Athletics and the Big 12 Conference on issues related to academic integrity, rules compliance and student-athlete welfare. She also was very active with the sport of women's basketball following her hall of fame career at UTEP as she served on the NCAA women's basketball rules committee during her time as the faculty athletics representative.

Stoney also served as the university's interim chief diversity and inclusion officer from May 2021-Oct. 2022, as well as an associate professor of curriculum and instruction in the College of Education, where she was a member of the graduate faculty and chair of the college's undergraduate academic reinstatement committee. She also coordinated the physical education and health program for the curriculum and instruction department.

Stoney joined K-State in 1999 as a race equity coordinator and technical consultant with the College of Education's Midwest Equity Assistance Center. She was subsequently hired as an assistant professor of secondary education with the college in 2000 and was promoted to associate professor in 2005.Before joining K-State, Stoney was a special education teacher and department chair at the middle school level.

Stoney earned a bachelor's degree in secondary education-special education/health education as well as a master's degree in kinesiology from the University of Texas, El Paso. She earned a doctorate in special education/multicultural education from the University of Texas, Austin. An accomplished basketball player, she was inducted into the UTEP Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010 and ranks third all-time in UTEP career points with 1,249.K-State leaders offer their condolences to Be's family.

Richard Linton, Kansas State University president: "Dr. Be Stoney was a valued faculty member in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction in the College of Education. She also had a tremendous passion for college athletics, which led her to serve as K-State's presidentially appointed faculty athletics representative for the Big 12 for a number of years. She will be deeply missed within the K-State family and community, and her legacy of incredible service to students and student-athletes will never be forgotten."

Gene Taylor, director of athletics: "Today is a sad day upon learning of the passing of Dr. Be Stoney. She cared deeply for our university and played an enormous role in the development of our students and student-athletes. As our faculty athletics representative, she was a tremendous advocate for our coaches and student-athletes at both the conference and NCAA level and played a huge role in the overall advancement of the college athletics landscape. She will be missed, and our thoughts and prayers are with Michael and the entire family."

Kansas State University&nbsp; Thanks to multiple industry partnerships,&nbsp;<a href="http://salina.ksu.edu/">Kansas State University Salina Aerospace and Technology Campus</a>&nbsp;connects companies and students through internships to provide students with real-world career experiences and present companies with new perspectives and future employee options.K-State Salina and California-based General Atomics Aeronautical Systems have worked together for several years.&nbsp; Both institutions have a passion for preparing future generations with the right skills to be ready to impact the aerospace industry, and this relationship has allowed K-State Salina students to intern with the defense and diversified technologies company. "Our intern colleague, Ryan 'High Speed' Haner, was a key partner who applied new information and new skills to practical use daily. His involvement and insight provided efficiency and effectivity to our operations," said Pete Cordera, supervising airport operations manager for GA-Aeornautical Systems, 99CL El Mirage Field, Hangar 80, Desert Horizon. "We are pleased that Ryan chose GA-ASI, and we hope that he learned from us as much as we learned from him."&nbsp; K-State Salina's industry partnerships run deep with other world-renowned companies as well. One meaningful partnership is between the campus and Textron Aviation, the Kansas-based company that specializes in manufacturing aircraft. Textron consistently offers internship and job opportunities to K-State Salina students.

"It is incredibly important to continue to build upon our relationships with industries that help prepare our students to become the leaders of tomorrow," said Alysia Starkey, K-State Salina CEO and dean. "Seeing students gain real-world experiences, embark on career exploration and learn intangible skills really solidifies why we focus and embed hands-on learning into our education."

Thanks to undergraduate internships, many students are returning to campus for the fall 2023 semester with firsthand knowledge of their chosen industries and a better appreciation for the skills they have already developed. The following are a few of the professional experiences that K-State Salina students had this past summer:Seth Bauerle, senior in aviation management,&nbsp;Hiawatha,&nbsp;spent his summer at Textron Aviation Defense as a defense aftermarket logistics analyst. In his nearly three months with the company, Bauerle's responsibilities included creating a change in the aftermarket rework process and presenting his findings to Textron employees in senior leadership. He also helped individuals with projects in the data systems the company utilizes.&nbsp; Ryan Haner, junior in aviation maintenance management,&nbsp;Pomona,&nbsp;recently completed a summer internship with General Atomics. Haner received supervised practical training to help him pursue a career as an aircraft mechanic, technician or maintenance manager. His duties also included assisting in completing routine and non-routine tasks, analysis, investigation and solving problems in the maintenance, servicing, repairing and overhauling of aircraft.Joya Shelton, junior in web development technology and digital media technology,&nbsp;Kansas City, Missouri, interned as a marketing communications and analytics intern for PBI-Gordon.&nbsp; Shelton did social media management and website research to help the company build on its social media and online presence.

Riley County Arrest Report September 5

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Dan Murray with the Kansas chapter of the National Federation of Independent Business said good help remains hard to find for their members.

"Forty percent of small business owners reported job openings that they could not fill," Murray said. "That's down two points from last month, but it's still very, very high. It is the lowest level since February 2021."

When you know it's going to be a struggle to find a replacement, sometimes you have to open up the checkbook a little more to keep someone.

"More small business owners are planning to increase their compensation in the next three months," Murray said. "The unfilled job openings slipped again in August. Owners are actively working to retain current employees and attract qualified applicants. To do that, they've got to raise compensation."

Murray isn't optimistic about the rest of the year, either.

"Unless we see a significant change in our economy, I don't see the problem improving," Murray said. "We have a population problem in Kansas, as you likely well know. Our population has remained flat or decreased in some respects, depending on where you live in the state. Until we address that problem and attract more folks to come to the state of Kansas, I'm not sure that we're going to see much improvement."

Thirty-five percent of small business owners have job openings for skilled workers and 18% have openings for unskilled labor.
