Rebuilding Kansas State football's offensive line is not as daunting as it might appear
MANHATTAN — Chris Klieman was the first to admit that rebuilding Kansas State football's offensive line after two years of stability left him a bit apprehensive. But replacing four of five starters, including a two-time All-American and a second-round NFL Draft pick, might not be quite as daunting as one might suspect. For one thing, the group of returning players are not nearly as inexperienced or untested as such a turnover would suggest.

Childcare facility expansion money coming in at CCS
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Central Christian School is on the home stretch of fundraising for its childcare facility expansion. "The historic fire station that's on our campus, we purchased that in 2012, and it's served a variety of purposes over the last several years at the school," said Dr. John Walker with Central Christian School. "We've used it as a industrial arts facility. We've used it most recently as a weightlifting facility and maintenance shop, and by the Lord's kindness, we just completed a brand new 1,600 square foot weightlifting facility that we should be moving into this summer. And so our students will be moving into there. What will happen with that fire station is that we'll actually be remodeling it and adding six classrooms to the east of that fire station, right off of 30th Street. And so we will be doubling our capacity. Right now we can service about 50 children, by the time that we complete this project, we'll be right around 100 children served at our childcare facility."
CAMPBELL: Palmer amaranth control in grain sorghum
When the aggressive nature of Palmer amaranth (pigweed) is combined with the limited post-emergence herbicide options in grain sorghum, problems often arise – even when an adequate preemergence herbicide program is used. This article highlights post-emergence herbicide options for Palmer amaranth control in grain sorghum. To see the full version of the article with use rates, recommended surfactants, and plant height restrictions. Search for K-State Agronomy eUpdates, June 27th issue. Combinations of the herbicides listed here will generally improve control, and all of the options are most effective when applied to small (under 4 inches tall) pigweeds. Atrazine can control sensitive populations of Palmer amaranth and can be combined with other herbicides to enhance effectiveness. Aim (carfentrazone) is a Group 14 herbicide that can be applied to grain sorghum between 4 inches and boot stage. It is less effective than some of the other herbicides in this article and requires good coverage for maximum effectiveness.
