Community Gathers to Learn About Ticks and Alpha‑Gal Syndrome at Southwind Extension Program
Fort Scott, KS — March 23, 2026 — Nearly 60 community members joined K-State Extension for the program “Beyond the Bite: Understanding Ticks and Alpha-Gal” last Monday evening at the FSCC campus. This event highlighted how K-State Extension – Southwind District is addressing emerging health issues with timely, research‑based education. An Alpha‑Gal–friendly baked potato bar was provided by Great Western Dining.
Raymond Cloyd, PhD, KSU Professor and Extension Specialist, presented on tick identification and life cycles, strategies for preventing tick bites, proper removal techniques, and recommended steps to take after spending time outdoors. Ticks are typically found just a few inches above the ground on vegetation. To remove a tick, individuals should use fine‑tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible and pull upward with steady, even pressure to remove the entire tick—including the head and mouthparts. After removal, the area should be cleaned with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water.
Priscilla Brenes, MPH, PhD, KSU Assistant Professor and Nutrition Specialist, discussed how Alpha‑Gal affects the body and shared nutritional strategies for managing life with Alpha‑Gal Syndrome (AGS). While there is currently no cure for AGS, individuals can reduce symptoms by carefully avoiding foods and products that may trigger reactions. Many people are surprised to learn that rotisserie chicken or turkey sausage may be seasoned or processed with beef‑derived ingredients. Some individuals with this allergy may also react to wearing leather boots, and others may need to carry an epinephrine auto‑injector.
Alpha‑Gal Syndrome is an allergy to red meat and mammal‑derived products that is becoming increasingly common across Kansas, particularly in rural areas. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, AGS can develop after a bite from the Lone Star tick. When an infected tick feeds on a human, alpha‑galactose (alpha‑gal) enters the body and triggers the immune system to produce antibodies. If the body later encounters alpha‑gal—through red meat or mammal‑derived products—a potentially life‑threatening allergic reaction can occur. Fish and poultry do not contain alpha‑gal antigens, making them safe options for those affected.
Symptoms of AGS may appear after eating red meat or being exposed to mammal‑derived products (including leather) and can include hives or itchy rash, nausea or vomiting, severe stomach pain, heartburn or indigestion, diarrhea, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, a drop in blood pressure, swelling of the lips, throat, tongue, or eyelids, and dizziness or faintness.
To request handouts from the program to be emailed or for additional information about Alpha‑Gal Syndrome, please contact Sandy Haggard, Southwind Extension Nutrition, Food Safety, and Health Agent, at [email protected] or 620‑365‑2242.

Topeka, KS — Today, Senate President Masterson issued a statement on Governor Kelly’s veto of SB 368.
“Laura Kelly has deliberately chosen to drive up the cost of healthcare for the many Kansans that choose to use healthcare sharing ministries with her veto of SB 368. This bi-partisan bill simply provides a tax deduction for Kansas taxpayers that use these important sharing ministries to cover healthcare costs for their families. The Senate will override this ridiculous veto and provide relief to Kansas families dealing with high healthcare costs,” said Masterson.
TOPEKA – Governor Laura Kelly today vetoed Senate Bill 368.
The following veto message is from Governor Kelly regarding her veto of Senate Bill 368:
“There’s a reason that regulators across the country are taking action against these so-called health care ministries because too often, everyday people are left with huge medical bills. These health care ministries aren’t regulated, which opens the door to all sorts of fraud and abuse.
“Let me be clear, this is not about limiting anyone’s ability to practice their faith freely, it’s entirely about ensuring that Kansans are in a health care system that’s reliable and actually covers their medical expenses.
“Therefore, pursuant to Article 2, Section 14(a) of the Constitution of the State of Kansas, I hereby veto Senate Bill 368.”
Kansas Joins National ‘A Home for Every Child’ Initiative to Bolster Access to Foster Homes
~~Kansas Becomes 7th State to Join Nationwide Initiative Aimed at Improving Ratio of Homes to Youth in Foster Care, 1st State with Approved Plan~~
TOPEKA – Governor Laura Kelly on Thursday announced that Kansas has joined the United States Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families’ (ACF) ‘A Home for Every Child’ initiative to improve the ratio of foster homes to children in Kansas and across the country. Governor Kelly made the announcement alongside federal officials from ACF and the Kansas Department for Children and Families (DCF). Kansas is the first state to receive ACF approval for its ‘A Home for Every Child’ plan.
“This initiative underscores my administration’s work to strengthen Kansas’ child welfare system by expanding support for foster children and families,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “By taking steps to eliminate barriers to safe, reliable foster homes, we’re setting more Kansas children up for long-term success and empowering them to live full, thriving lives in comfortable and supportive environments.”
‘A Home for Every Child’ reinforces Governor Kelly’s longstanding commitment to making Kansas the best state to raise a family. According to ACF, nationwide there are only 57 homes for every 100 children entering foster care. The ‘A Home for Every Child’ initiative aims to achieve a foster-home-to-child ratio of at least 1:1 nationwide through effective collaboration with states, which includes cutting bureaucratic red tape, improved data collection and reporting, new incentives, support for kin-first placements, and more.
“The Administration for Children and Families is grateful for the bipartisan support behind A Home for Every Child, and we are confident Governor Kelly’s leadership will continue to deliver meaningful reforms to child welfare that protect children and keep families together when possible,” said Assistant Secretary Alex Adams, Administration for Children and Families. “By joining A Home for Every Child, Kansas is focusing on what matters most while allowing its caseworkers to spend more time actually serving children and families across the state rather than filling out federal paperwork.”
ACF offered states the ability to voluntarily transition from existing Child and Family Services Review Program Improvement Plans into the ‘A Home for Every Child’ pilot framework. This shift enables Kansas to become more outcome focused and relies on data-driven accountability. As the 7th state to join ‘A Home for Every Child,’ Kansas has the opportunity to engage early, contribute to federal learning, and modernize performance improvement efforts while maintaining accountability for safety, permanency, and well-being.
“We’re proud to partner in this opportunity to further achieve meaningful outcomes for Kansas families. This effort provides flexibility for innovative approaches alongside families through targeted, practical measures that reflect our state’s goals to prevent and reduce the need for foster care,” said Secretary Laura Howard, Kansas Department for Children and Families. “Every child deserves safety, stability, and a sense of community—and every family deserves the support needed to thrive.”

TOPEKA – (March 26, 2026) –Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach today issued a consumer alert warning Kansans about a growing scam involving fraudulent “Notice of Hearing” notices for alleged traffic violations.
Scammers are sending fake notices via text message and email that mimic official court documents. These notices often include realistic details such as court headings, case numbers, statute citations, and a QR code or link directing recipients to pay a fictitious fine and associated costs.
“Courts do not serve legal documents on individuals via text or email,” Kobach said. “Kansans should not respond to unsolicited messages or emails containing purported legal documents from courts requesting payments. Kansans should also avoid interacting with texts or emails that include alleged notices or direct the consumer to scan any QR code within them. If you receive any of these notices, please report it to my office so we can investigate.”
How to Spot and Avoid the Scam
Unsolicited delivery: Real court notices for traffic violations or hearings are never sent by text or email.
Pressure to pay: The notices urge quick payment via QR code or link to “resolve” the matter and avoid further penalties.
Professional appearance: They often feature official-looking formatting to appear legitimate.
What to Do If You Receive One
Do not reply, call any provided number, scan the QR code, or click any links. Interacting with the message could introduce malware to your device.
Verify any claim independently: Contact the clerk of the relevant court directly using a phone number from the court’s official website (never one listed in the suspicious message).
Think before you act: Pause and double-check before responding to any unexpected legal communication.
Kansans who receive these fraudulent notices are encouraged to report them to the Kansas Attorney General’s Public Protection Division at www.ag.ks.gov or by calling (785) 296-3751 or 1-800-432-2310.
About the Kansas Attorney General’s Office
The Kansas Attorney General’s Office protects Kansas consumers through enforcement of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, investigation of fraud and scams, and education to help residents avoid deceptive practices. For more information, visit www.ag.ks.gov.
The State of Kansas has filed criminal charges against Mika Milburn-Kee in Bourbon County District Court. The complaint, filed on March 24, 2026 by Assistant Attorney General Olivia R. Higdon of the Criminal Division’s Economic Crimes unit, stems from an incident that allegedly took place on October 25, 2025 in Bourbon County.
Count One charges Milburn-Kee with Interference with the Conduct of Public Business in Public Buildings under Kansas statute K.S.A. 21-5922(a)(5). This law makes it a crime to knowingly disrupt, impede, or hinder the normal work of a government official by intruding into a chamber or area set aside for that official’s use. This charge is classified as a Class A Nonperson Misdemeanor and carries potential penalties of up to 12 months confinement, a fine of up to $2,500, or both. This appears to be related to areas designated for use in the election that was underway at the time.
Count Two charges Milburn-Kee with Disorderly Election Conduct under Kansas statutes K.S.A. 25-2413(c) and K.S.A. 25-2432. The complaint alleges that she unlawfully and willfully approached or remained closer than three feet to a table being used by an election board without the admitted purpose of voting or without the authority of the supervising judge, contrary to the form of the statutes in such case made and provided against the peace and dignity of the State of Kansas. This charge is classified as a Class B Nonperson Misdemeanor and carries potential penalties of up to 6 months confinement, a fine of up to $1,000, or both. Additionally, under K.S.A. 25-2432, if convicted of this offense, the defendant would be required to forfeit any public office or public employment.
The case is being prosecuted not by the local county attorney, but by an assistant attorney general out of the state office in Topeka.
Witnesses
The State has identified 15 witnesses in this case:
Jacqueline K. Beatty – Special Agent, Office of the Kansas Attorney General
Daryl Ludolph – Former Assistant Special Agent in Charge, Office of the Kansas Attorney General
James Birket, #137 – Detective, Fort Scott Police Department
Brian Thurston, #112 – Detective Sergeant, Fort Scott Police Department
Susan Walker – County Clerk, Bourbon County
Amber Page – Deputy County Clerk, Bourbon County
Shane Walker – Employee, Bourbon County
Lora Holdridge – Register of Deeds, Bourbon County
Dianne Keating – Early Voting Supervisor, Bourbon County
Anthony George – Advance Polling Supervisor, Bourbon County
Clay Barker – Chief Counsel, Office of the Kansas Secretary of State
Bryan Caskey – Kansas Director of Elections
Brandi Ross
Joan Page
Patty Holman
This case is in its early stages. The complaint has been filed and assigned case number BB-2026-CR-000079, but the court process is just beginning. Being charged with a crime is not the same as being found guilty. The defendant is presumed innocent and has the right to legal representation and to contest the charges through the court system. What follows from here will likely include an initial court appearance, and the case may ultimately be resolved through trial, a plea agreement, or dismissal.
Commissioner Mika Milburn-Kee was asked if she had any comments on this case, but no reply has been received at this time.
