Gophers digging in Salina levee SALINA — Gophers have been causing problems for Salina, burrowing in the city’s flood-control levee. The gophers have been digging burrows and tunnels that could create problems in the city’s 21-mile levee. Mike Fraser, Salina’s director of public works, said that if the gophers create enough holes, the levee could fail under stress from floodwaters. Fraser’s levee staff have been fighting the gophers with traps and have killed 369 gophers since 2009.
hour, included many other songs from her recent release, including current single “Whatcha Gonna Do” as well as “Teenage Daughters” (McBride has a couple of those). An emotional moment came when McBride sang the touching “I’m Gonna Love You Through It,” a song about living with cancer. But McBride also delivered most of her popular radio hits, including “Wild Angels” and “This One’s For the Girl.”
Jack Goates, the city’s flood control supervisor, said the Corps of Engineers requires the city to have an animal control program.
She also performed the Etta James classic “At Last,” reportedly at the request of her mother, who McBride said was in the audience. McBride said she hadn’t performed the song in concert for five years. “When mom asks for a song, you do the song,” she said. McBride finished her set with arguably her two most popular hits, “A Broken Wing” and “Independence Day.” Her set ended with a standing ovation from the crowd. After “A Broken Wing” and just before her final song, “Independence Day,” McBride thanked all her supporters in the audience. “Growing up here was one of the best things that ever happened to me,” she said. “I think it’s one of the reasons I am where I am today.”
