20 years ago, a local gift blazed the trail for conservation By Giles Bruce Twitter: @GilesBruce

Off a gravel road southeast of Lawrence, on a hilltop behind a gated fence, amid the cropland and country homes, sits a serenely beautiful tallgrass prairie, undisturbed by development, agriculture or time. It’s a glimpse — a small glimpse, but still — into what the settlers saw hundreds of years ago, when all the land surrounding this 16-acre prairie looked just like it does (though there may have been buffalo and antelope on it then). And it’s all thanks to Tom Akin, or, more accurately, his

wife, Dorothy, who loved the prairie and its native plants. “She was always very interested in flowers and birds,� said her son, Larry, who now lives on the farm and manages the prairie. So in June 1994, five years after Dorothy’s death, her husband granted the prairie in her honor to Kansas Land Trust as the state’s first conservation easement, meaning the land will stay a prairie in perpetuity. His decision 20 years ago set the course for dozens more Kansas property owners to preserve the natural

For decades, Pieter Berendsen kept the stories to himself. The bomb craters that crept closer to his family’s home. The brutal winter when a sugar beet pulled from the ground had to be shared by all. The

German soldiers who ordered his father to stand against the house, their rifles ready. But Berendsen, a geologist who lives in Lecompton and still consults at the Kansas Geological Survey, is talking now in hopes he can

The Kansas Land Trust is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the first patch of prairie ever protected by a land trust in Kansas, the Akin Prairie, 1850 North 1150 Road, by hosting its popular wildflower walk there from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday. Conducted by local conservationist Kelly Kindscher, the walk gives participants the opportunity to learn about the many species of prairie plants and animals. A face and body artist will be Kindscher on hand to decorate kids and “kids-atheart� with images of Kansas wildflowers. Kansas Land Trust will also hold a drawing for native wildflowers donated by Kaw River Restoration Nursery. This event is free. Families are encouraged to attend. For more information, visit klt.org or call 785-749-3297.

Topeka — Some Kansas veterans can’t get medical appointments at U.S. Veterans Affairs facilities and are having scheduled checkups canceled as the dates approach, two members of the state’s congressional delegation said Friday after touring the VA medical center in Topeka. U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran said his office has received about a dozen complaints over the past six months from Moran veterans who’ve said they called for appointments for VA medical services and have been told to call back again Jenkins after six months. A spokesman for the VA health care system in eastern Kansas said he’s not heard of such problems. U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins said veterans have complained to her office that within a few days of a scheduled appointment for a routine visit, a VA employee has called them and said the appointment needs to be rescheduled weeks later. An aide said the congresswoman has received about 10 such complaints in the past month.
