Reappraisal process starts while bill awaits approval
By ROBIN PALMER Staff Reporter
Although the Kansas Legislature has not given final approval to a reappraisal bill, Douglas County and other surrounding counties have started the preliminary procedures for the lengthy reappraisal process.
The legislative reappraisal bill, which is now in a conference committee made up of both Kansas House of Representatives and Senate members, would require county appraisers in the county to reappraise every parcel of property in their respective counties within three years.
Statewide reappraisal would require all counties to reappraise property to reflect the current market value of the property.
Despite local preparation, area appraisers think that if the bill does not pass, a court-ordered reappraisal will occur.
The state has not reappraised property since 1964.
Laurance Potts, Leavenworth County appraiser, said that Leavenworth County had been preparing for reappraisal since 1974. Potts also reappraising the property could cost the county more than $750,000.
praised for two years and has more than $54,000 in its fund.
Don Gordon, Douglas County appraiser, said that the appraiser's office had been allocating money for reap
Gordon estimated that reappraisal would cost the county $480,000.
Additional preparation includes reviewing and updating property record cards, he said. Record cards indicate the owner of the property, its legal description and the classification of the property.
Prather Brown Jr., Johnson County appraiser, said that the county's appraiser's office had been updating the county's maps for more than a year to prepare for the reappraisal. Brown said the office was also working toward developing a computerized appraisal system.
Charles Clark, Franklin County appraiser, said that his county started reviewing mapping descriptions more than two years ago.
Estimated costs for Johnson County
reappraisal reach $1 million, he said.
"There's no other way to make reappraisal without supervision on the stage," she said.
Pots said that the present legislation outlines state guidelines for reapant plans.
In addition, the Franklin County Commissioners have been setting aside funds for the project for the past year, he said.
He said that appraisers' current duties were supervised by the state and that all the appraisers were trained through state programs.
Gordon said that although state guidelines were needed, he was against it. "I think we need a new system."
Local control of the process could keep costs down, he said.
Gordon said that a Douglas County reappraisal could keep the cost down to $15 for each of the 32,000 parcels of land in the county. Employing an outside appraisal firm could raise the costs to $50 for each parcel.
The appraisers agreed that a court-ordered reappraisal system would not allow enough time for the process and increase the costs to the counties.
Potts used Missouri's reappraisal procedures as an example. The procedure is based on the following assumptions:
the process has never been completed, he said.
He said that if a court-ordered reappraisal reduced the time allotted for reappraisal to two years, the counties would not have enough time.
Most of the appraisers said that reappraisal would take a minimum of three years.
Area appraisers said that if the time for the process was reduced, the costs would increase.
The process would require an additional staff of six to eight appraisers including a supervisor because the department need to continue with its other work.
Hepatitis-B high risk for gay men
By MARY SEXTON Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Almost 100 percent of sexually active homosexual men are in danger of coming in contact with Hepatitis B and risk being infected with the disease.
But the publicity for AIDS, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, has overshadowed the disease, Eric Schuman, a physician's assistant from Topeka, said yesterday. Schuman spoke to about 15 people last night at the Kansas Union as part of Gay and Lesbian Awareness Week.
Both AIDS and Hepatitis-B affect
Schuman said that more than 200,000 cases of Hepatitis B had been reported in the United States, but only 4,000 cases of AIDS had been reported.
homosexual men most often, and both diseases could be fatal, Schuman said.
"Sexually transmitted diseases are a very low influence on the female gay community," he said. Women are affected more by what he called "homophobia," a fear of homosexuals, and alcoholism.
Schuman said that there were several health risks common to homosexuals. "Homophobia" and alcoholism were high on the list of risks, along with AIDS, Hepatitis-B and all sexually transmitted diseases.
Men with a large number of sexual partners have a higher risk of contracting Hepatitis-B, he said. Once someone is infected with Hepatitis-B, they may be carriers for the rest of their lives.
Carriers of the disease, he said, may
never become ill from it, but they may pass it on to their sexual partners.
Schuman said that all homosexual men should be tested for Hepatitis-B because they may have the disease without having symptoms.
In recent years a vaccine has been developed for Hepatitis-B, and is administered in three injections, Schuman said. He urged all homosexual men to be immunized.
Schuman said that it was important for all homosexuals to see a physician in whom they can confide.
Much of the medical community does not have an understanding of diseases related to homosexuality, and as a consequence many homosexuals may not get necessary medical treatments, he said.
Prof says whole soybean OK to eat
By United Press International
ST. LOUIS — A researcher yesterday recommended cooking and eating the entire soybean plant, which he said is a valuable value and use than just the beans on display.
"It can be whipped into a meringue or used as an additive in cereals, puddings, and artificial cheeses." The University of Kentucky at Lexington.
Sheen said the protein from soybean plants has physical properties similar to those of wheat.
He said the entire plant could be used through a processing method that separated harvested young plants into proteins, soybean molasses and a fibrous residue that he found in the meat of animals fed an animal feed. Sheen said he also had tried the method out on tobacco and clover.
In a report to the American Chemical Society, Sheen also said the soybean protein had no flavor or odor, so it could easily be added to junk
foods to make them more nutritious.
Farmers who harvested the entire soybean plant could earn twice as much an acre as for the beans alone and therefore their protein and the residue, Sheen said.
alone.
"The whole plant approach, on the other hand, requires early harvesting, so the soybeans can be grown the same year as a winter crop."
He said rotating crops so soybean plants returned the vital nutrient nitrogen to the earth could be transferred in a single year, rather than in two.
"I don't see any major barrier to introducing this whole-plant agriculture." Sheen said. "Farmers are already familiar with growing soybeans, and the public accepts soybean protein as an additive."
Furthermore, Sheen said the whole cost of complete warehousing in products made from wheat is about $20 million.
