Quick as a striking snake, a chasm had opened up among the Nephites(1), as there arose among them “a man of cunning device and a man of many flattering words, that led away the hearts of many people to do wickedly…and to seek to destroy the church of God, and to destroy the foundation of liberty which God had granted unto them”(2).

Perhaps there is no better way to discover the essence and ambiance of Kansas than by joining 700+ cyclists in eight overnight towns, while being fed lunch by community groups in seven small towns and engaging with the people and places of the Sunflower State along the way.That’s just a brief summary of the 50th year version of Biking Across Kansas (BAK), which concluded last Saturday.It’s hard to describe the BAK experience in words.

If a three-pronged wish-list could come true, Jason Murray believes a local scholarship program could be revived, while simultaneously, area residents would learn more about a state effort to curtail brain drain throughout Kansas.As executive director of the Golden Belt Community Foundation (GBCF), Murray is eager to re-invigorate the local Come Home Reverse Scholarship fund and spread the word about the Rural Opportunity Zone (ROZ) program at the Kansas Department of Commerce.One of the three goals is to form a small task force in each of the four counties in GBCF’s service territory – Barton, Pawnee, Rush and Stafford.“Ideally, we would have five people in each of these counties study the out-migration issue and spread the word in their communities,” Murray said.

Bird feeders are a great way to enjoy nature without leaving the front porch, and many homeowners understand the joys of seeing multiple bird species frequent the feeders.But Kansas State University wildlife specialist Drew Ricketts said bird feeders also can attract predators and other wildlife into a yard.For example, racoons are seven times more likely to enter the yard and deer are two times more likely if you have a bird feeder.“Carnivores, such as coyotes and red foxes and those sorts of critters, are at least one and a half times more likely to be in yards with bird feeders,” Ricketts said.“Folks often times are inadvertently attracting critters to the yard, and that can cause problems that don’t have anything to do with the bird feeder.
