By GREG DOERING Kansas Farm Bureau Perhaps the biggest pastime in spring is watching the weather. I could be just searching for a nice Saturday to visit a park or checking to see if I need to carry an umbrella to the office. For farmers and ranchers, however, spring weather is high stakes and full of questions. Will there be enough rain to awaken the wheat crop and carry it through to maturity? If there is, will it be too much to prevent planting corn and soybeans? Will there be enough moisture to grow enough grass for cattle to graze? Unfortunately for more than three quarters of the state right now, the biggest question is when will the drought break? The northeast corner is the only portion of Kansas not experiencing a moisture deficiency currently. More than 40 counties are wholly or in part in an exceptional drought according to the most recent report. Most natural disasters are quick, but a drought is an open-ended catastrophe that grinds on day after day. Pictures and video do little to convey the effects the absence of water has on those who live through it. At least with a tornado or flood, you can start picking up the pieces relatively quickly. With a drought, you’re just left to endure until the rains return. We’re moving into the height of severe weather season in Kansas. Thanks to the drought, fire is also a potential hazard in addition to the usual thunderstorms and tornadoes. While we can’t prevent severe weather outbreaks, there’s plenty of steps to take in advance to be prepared. It starts with developing a good plan while hoping you never need to implement it. This can be as simple as a space in a basement with some bottled water, a battery-operated radio and some flashlights or candles for storms capable of producing tornados. Now’s a good time to check those batteries if they’ve been sitting in a stockpile for a while. For those who don’t have a basement, a windowless room is the next safest place to ride out a storm. If you’re outside, find a low-lying area, preferably away from trees, to lie flat and cover your head with your arms. In the event of a flashflood, immediately move to higher ground and don’t drive through flooded roadways. The current is capable of carrying away a vehicle, plus there’s all kinds of potential dangers obscured by the water. The second step is to be aware of current forecasts and know when there’s potential for severe weather in your area. The National Weather Service has a good track record of predicting when weather systems can go from normal to life threatening. A “watch” means conditions are favorable for severe weather to develop. It’s a reminder to be alert for worsening conditions. A “warning” is the signal to implement you plan as quickly as possible. If watching the weather isn’t already part of your spring routine, now’s a good time to add it to your to-do list so you’re prepared to act if it becomes necessary. "Insight" is a weekly column published by Kansas Farm Bureau, the state's largest farm organization whose mission is to strengthen agriculture and the lives of Kansans through advocacy, education and service.&nbsp;

Kansas Farm Bureau Insight: Weather watching

FORT RILEY -&nbsp;In 2024, more than 1,000 <a href="https://www.facebook.com/oklahomanationalguard">Oklahoma Army National Guardsmen</a>&nbsp;will deploy as Task Force Tomahawk, along with one company from each, Indiana and Nebraska.

<a href="https://twitter.com/OKGuard">Oklahoma National Guard</a> soldiers are currently at Fort Riley undergoing pre-mobilization training before deploying for overseas active duty.

Soldiers are training on various weapons, along with individual troop and squad movements to ensure preparedness for the mission during Task Force Tomahawk.

Conducting training increases soldier readiness for the future deployment in support of operations within U.S. Africa Command's area of responsibility.

"The ability to show that we are ready and prepared to take on any mission. So any element, any type of formation, whether it's active duty, guard, Reserve can come here and we will ensure that they get the best training possible to be able to prepare for any mission." Fort Riley Range Safety Specialist, Nick Johnson says.

MANHATTAN — Kansas State University's School of Music, Theatre, and Dance presents "Reflections, Spring Dance Concert '23" at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 31, and Saturday, April 1, in McCain Auditorium. The concert features choreography, movement creation, costume design and performances from K-State faculty and students as well as choreography and costume design from critically acclaimed dancer and guest choreographer-in-residence&nbsp;<a href="https://karidagriffith.com/" target="_blank">Karida Griffith Walker</a>. Tickets can be purchased online at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.k-state.edu/mtd/events/tickets/" target="_blank">k-state.edu/mtd/events/tickets/</a>. Kate Digby, associate professor and associate director for dance, presents dance excerpts from her National Endowment for the Arts sponsored project, "Search for Simurgh," in which K-State dancers are featured as a living, breathing, moving forest. Julie L. Pentz, professor of dance, choreographed "Hide and Seek," a classic tap dance number, and a new jazz dance, "Heart." Stephen Loch, teaching assistant professor, choreographed "There Once Was a River," a modern dance work that was shown at the American College Dance Association in March, and "A Part of Me," a new modern dance work featuring live music. Jack Johnson, master's student in music,&nbsp;Waseca, Minnesota, plays percussion in "A Part of Me." Choreographer-in-residence Griffith Walker has been on faculty at Pace University and the Broadway Dance Center in New York. As a member of the famed Radio City Rockettes, Griffith Walker performed annually in the "Radio City Christmas Spectacular," in the Radio City tribute, "Sinatra," on The Today Show and at the Tony Awards. She has performed as a cast member for the European tour of the Broadway hit "Black and Blue" and Cirque du Soleil's "Banana Shpeel," and she has performed in multiple episodes of "Boardwalk Empire" on HBO. In addition to being a founding member of the critically acclaimed Dorrance Dance, Griffith Walker has been a member of the "Cotton Club Sophisticated Ladies" with Dormeshia, "T.A.D.A.H." with Jared Grimes, Mable Lee's Ladies and Barbara Duffy &amp; Company, and she has performed with Chloe Arnold's "Syncopated Ladies." Griffith Walker has partnered with the Children's Theatre Company of New York City for 20 years and is a member of "Sebe Kan," a West African dance company. She holds a bachelor's degree in business from New York University. Griffith Walker provided choreography and costume design for "The Night-Out Swing" and "Seaside." "The Night-Out Swing" is a contemporary take on the vernacular jazz social dances of the 1920s and '30s. With its origins in West African dance and the music of the jazz era, vernacular jazz dance arose in the Black community and laid the foundation of hip-hop and many other styles. "The Night-Out Swing" captures a group of friends in a dorm room deciding what to wear and do on their big night out. Part tribute to vernacular jazz and part celebration of modern college life, the dance examines the ties and joys of friendship. "Seaside" uses tap dance to explore the waves of emotions — joy, connection, stillness and reflection — that rise and fall like the waves and tides of the sea. Coldplay's song, "Yellow," is reinterpreted here by the Dallas String Quartet and provides a nostalgic, rhythmic landscape with plenty of room for the percussive syncopations of modern tap.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The following K-State students are dancers in "Reflections, Spring Dance Concert&nbsp;'23": Haylee Nicholas, sophomore in architectural engineering,&nbsp;Andale;&nbsp;Lauren Bruna, senior in life sciences,&nbsp;Hanover;&nbsp;Sophia Baskerville, junior in sports nutrition, and Rose West, non-degree student, both from&nbsp;Junction City;&nbsp;Caroline Humphrey, freshman in elementary education,&nbsp;Leawood.

From out of state: Sami Villasana, sophomore in geology,&nbsp;Aurora, Colorado;&nbsp;Alicia Bohren, senior in animal sciences and industry,&nbsp;Longmont, Colorado;&nbsp;Audrey Henton, senior in dietetics,&nbsp;Kansas City, Missouri;&nbsp;Anna Paige Warner, sophomore in social work,&nbsp;Liberty, Missouri;&nbsp;Cassie Meyer, senior in dietetics,&nbsp;Warrensbug, Missouri;&nbsp;Rachel Reichert, master's student in architecture,&nbsp;Platte City, Missouri;&nbsp;Madison Hunter, junior in accounting,&nbsp;Aurora, Nebraska;&nbsp;Mariah Uden, senior in social work,&nbsp;Kenesaw, Nebraska;&nbsp;Kelby Meisinger, senior in elementary education,&nbsp;Louisville, Nebraska;&nbsp;and Avery Johnson, sophomore in biology,&nbsp;Owasso, Oklahoma.

LAWRENCE — Three University of Kansas School of Law alumni will receive the law 
school’s highest alumni honor, the Distinguished Alumni Award, this 
year. The award celebrates graduates for their professional 
achievements, contributions to the legal field and service to their 
community and the university.

David Elkouri, Janet Justus and U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran will receive 
the 2023 Distinguished Alumni Award at a private dinner April 1 in 
Lawrence.

David Elkouri, L’78, has spent the last 12 years of 
his career serving as executive vice president and general counsel of 
two Houston-based, publicly traded corporations, Petrohawk Energy 
Corporation (Petrohawk) and Battalion Oil Corporation (formerly Halcon 
Resources Corporation). As one of the key members of the executive 
management team of Petrohawk, he was instrumental in growing the company
 from an initial investment of $60 million in 2004 into a company with a
 $15 billion enterprise value before it was sold in an all-cash 
transaction to BHP Billiton in 2011. Elkouri has been listed numerous 
times by “Best Lawyers in America” and has consistently been named a 
“Super Lawyer” in the areas of mergers, acquisitions and corporate 
governance. He has been a frequent speaker on topics involving corporate
 law and complex transactions. Elkouri served several terms on the Law 
School board of governors and taught a course on business transactions 
at KU Law. He served on the Wichita Airport Authority for eight years 
and was president for three years. He has been active in numerous other 
charitable and public boards over the years on the local, national and 
international levels.

Janet Justus, L’81, has more than 25 years of 
experience in sports law and higher education as an NCAA national office
 senior administrator, law firm counsel, consultant and university 
athletics administrator. During her 15 years with the NCAA, Justus held 
several leadership positions, including director of eligibility where 
she was the first woman director on the enforcement staff. She was the 
director of education outreach and produced the inaugural NCAA Achieving
 Gender-Equity Guide. Justus also served as the national spokesperson 
for the NCAA on Title IX and gender equity issues. Justus directed the 
development and growth of several NCAA program areas including Title IX 
education and advocacy, the National Student-Athlete Advisory Committee,
 the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program and student-athlete eligibility 
appeals. Her leadership within the national office and respect among 
NCAA member institutions influenced policies and legislation that made 
the association more gender-equitable and student-athlete centered. 
Justus received the Alumni Achievement Award from KU, was named the 
NACWAA (now Women Leaders in College Sports) National Administrator of 
the Year, was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by the United 
States Sports Academy, was named the WIN for KC/Greater Kansas City 
Sports Commission Mentor of the Year and received the Kansas City 
Harmony Humanitarian of the Year award.

U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, L’82, has served Kansans in 
the U.S. Senate since 2011. He represented Kansas’ 1st Congressional 
District for seven terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. He also 
served eight years in the Kansas State Senate – spending the last two 
years as a majority leader. In addition to his 14 years practicing law, 
Moran has served as the state special assistant attorney general of 
Kansas, the deputy county attorney of Rooks County and assistant county 
attorney for Ellis County. He also served as an adjunct professor of 
political science at Fort Hays State University. Moran is admitted to 
practice law in the state and federal courts of Kansas and the United 
States. In the U.S. Senate, Moran is currently a senior member of the 
Senate Committee on Appropriations; the Senate Committee on Commerce, 
Science, and Transportation; and the Senate Select Committee on 
Intelligence. He serves as the ranking member of one full committee and 
two subcommittees – the most of any member in the Senate. He is the 
ranking member of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs; the Senate 
Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related 
Agencies; and the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Aviation Safety, 
Operations and Innovation.

LAWRENCE – With the 2019 Oscar for Best 
Adapted Screenplay for his work on “BlacKkKlansman” on his mantel, Kevin
 Willmott can focus on the screenwriting projects he likes. And while 
the&nbsp;University of Kansas professor of film &amp; media studies has 
carved out a niche telling little-known&nbsp;<a href="http://news.ku.edu/2020/08/12/history-police-brutality-informs-willmotts-24th" target="_blank">stories</a>&nbsp;of
 African American history that resonate with current events, Willmott’s 
latest project takes a fresh look at perhaps the most famous African 
American and most popular athlete of all time – boxing champion Muhammad
 Ali.

The producers (Willmott shares executive-producing credit) have&nbsp;<a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yahoo.com%2Flifestyle%2Fmuhammad-ali-scripted-series-being-210048136.html&amp;data=05%7C01%7Cmedia1-l%40lists.ku.edu%7C94d198df35dc43c43d2108db2ba07309%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638151740351640576%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=kLhFL2P5YUvXDlmxOMXJkaemsXr%2FbTp3wHIVpZu2guM%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">announced</a>&nbsp;a deal to develop the eight-part series “Excellence: 8 Fights” about Ali's life for NBC’s Peacock streaming video service.

Willmott
 said he had been working with actor/producer Morgan Freeman’s 
Revelations Entertainment, which owns the rights to Jonathan Eig’s 
acclaimed 2017 biography,&nbsp;<a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harpercollins.com%2Fproducts%2Fali-jonathan-eig%3Fvariant%3D39935221858338&amp;data=05%7C01%7Cmedia1-l%40lists.ku.edu%7C94d198df35dc43c43d2108db2ba07309%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638151740351640576%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=FLZiLc2DUInWvsNQdWab%2FJd258MaPIfKop8M5hE2DcU%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">“Ali: A Life,"</a>&nbsp;for some time on a script. No star or release date has been announced.

“I
 chose eight different fights Ali had, using the book as my source

heavyweight champion and global cultural icon’s life on film. 2020’s&nbsp;<a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.imdb.com%2Ftitle%2Ftt10612922%2F&amp;data=05%7C01%7Cmedia1-l%40lists.ku.edu%7C94d198df35dc43c43d2108db2ba07309%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638151740351640576%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=%2FBnYVFvtQGMsjTmS1hZLaU1c9pveE4QlCL1fHwhLyAs%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">“One Night in Miami”</a>&nbsp;focuses
 on just that – a single meeting among Ali, football and movie star Jim 
Brown, singer/producer Sam Cooke and Black Muslim leader Malcolm X.

Willmott said “8 Fights” will be a modern biopic.

“The old style is cradle-to-grave,” he said. “Now you try to be a lot more selective and pick certain parts of their life.”

The
 fact that Ali remains so well-known, nearly seven years after his 
death, will enable the filmmakers to use a certain shorthand in 
explication, Willmott said. “He’s got a big life, and the segments 
narrow it down to specific things.”

“8 Fights” will delve into 
Ali’s complicated relationship with his greatest ring nemesis, “Smokin’”
 Joe Frazier, if only for its racial implications, Willmott said.

Despite
 the fact that Frazier had loaned Ali money when Ali was facing fallout 
from his decision to avoid the Vietnam-era draft, in the buildup to 
their fights, “Ali called him Uncle Tom and monkey,” Willmott said.

“There
 was a love-hate relationship – hatred from Joe Frazier’s standpoint. 
Ali didn’t hate anybody. He got angry at people like Floyd Patterson and
 Ernie Terrell that wouldn’t call him by the name Muhammad Ali, and he 
punished them in the ring. Ali was a bit ahead of the game in terms of 
the Black pride movement. It was about starting to connect to our 
African heritage.

“The series will allow Ali to look back on his life and reflect on the pros and cons,” Willmott said.

Willmott
 said he has several other writing irons in the fire, all based on 
historical events, including a completed script for a biopic of the 
first Black tennis star, Arthur Ashe, and one about the relationship 
between jazz musicians Billy Strayhorn, Duke Ellington and Lena Horne.

Willmott graduated from Marymount College in Salina and grew up in Junction City.

Expungement clinic scheduled in Junction City

MANHATTAN - Kansas State University's annual day of giving, All In for K-State, raised more than $1 million dollars during the 2023 campaign.

In 2023, <a href="https://allin.ksufoundation.org/">All In for K-State</a>&nbsp;is raising money to bring financial education opportunities to all new students, giving them knowledge to make smart financial decisions and relieve stress.

"Focusing on financial well-being will benefit our students exponentially, not only during their time at&nbsp;K-State&nbsp;but throughout their lives," said Thomas Lane, vice president of student life and dean of students.

Funds raised support the expanding effort of Powercat Financial, a nationally recognized peer counseling and pilot program which offers a zero-credit financial literacy course to incoming students.

"Students spend valuable physical and mental resources stressing about finances. I would rather they spend that on learning&nbsp;in&nbsp;their classes or having a great time at college," said Greg Eiselein, director of&nbsp;K-State&nbsp;First, the university’s first-year experience program. "Financial literacy is going to help them as college students — and it’s going to help them&nbsp;for&nbsp;the rest of their lives."

Thirty-three percent of K-State students surveyed in the 2020 study on Collegiate Financial Wellness considered dropping out due to the stress of financial burdens during college.

"We have the potential to change the average net worth of our future graduates. What a gift!" said Kathleen Hatch, Morrison family associate vice president&nbsp;for&nbsp;student well-being. "So if you want to make a difference, this is your chance."
