'Skunk Lady' traps for $10 each; smell removed at no extra charge
Staff Reporter
By STEVE MAUN
Shella Newland wants to work in a zoo, so she traps skunks to gain experience in handling wild animals.
"I like them," she said. "I don't want to go to graduate school and there just are not that many other ways to get experience handling animals."
Newland, a KU graduate in biology,
charges $10 for each skunk she traps.
Newland said she had always had a way with animals. "An animal can tell you like it or not. It's just like a kid," she said.
She began trapping skunks three years ago while helping George Korch, a KU graduate biology student, on a research project.
Newland works as a secretary at the KU comproller's office in Carrubr-O'Leary during the day and traps skunks at night.
The police department, the county extension office, the fish and game department. KU information and some private sources can help to anyone who complains about skunks.
Newland received the nickname "Skunk Lady" when a woman introduced Newland that way to her daughter.
Patty Miller, 1623 E. 18th Terrace, said he got her new landed number from the police when she complained to them about a snunk on her lawn and grub for grubs in her yard and flower garden.
NEWLAND SAID, "Skunks are usually under a cement slab because it is nice and soft there and they build their den."
Miller decided to get rid of the skunk one night after her dog chased the skunk out of the yard and it scented.
When she gets a complaint, she sets a trap at dusk and often has a skunk by morning.
The police gave Newland seven traps that were 2%-foot-long wire cages. To catch a skunk, the doors are set open. A footpad inside the door releases the cutter, shutting the windows on the pad. Newland bats the traps with food and covers the cage with canvas.
SHE TELLS THE home owner to check the traps every day because other animals often get caught. "I have caught lots of cats and dogs," she says. Sometimes dogs now the caw of the caravans."
After catching the skunks, she releases them five or six miles out in the country.
She said about one out of every 10 skunks scent when she picks it up. "They don't

usually scent in the car. It's usually when I pick up the trap."
Bruce Guy, who lives 1½ miles northwest of town, said Newland trapped six baby skunks under his porch.
"Two of them scented in the cage when she picked it up and one scented on the way to the car," Gu said.
NEWLAND SAID THE odor did not really bother her. "It goes away. I just air out my clothes on the clothingline in the backyard."
Newland said she had heard of taking a bath in tomato juice as a way to get rid of skunk odor, but had never tried it.
"The place I really have trouble is in my hair," she said. "The odor lingers longer there like in animal fur."
She insisted that it only took one through washing to eliminate the odor.
NEWLAND HAS never been bitten by a skunk, but she does take preventive rabies shots. Skunks have one of the highest percentages of rabies any animal, she said.
NEWLAND SAID when she arrived the opossum was so cold it ran into the trap. She had trouble getting it to leave.
Until two weeks ago, she had been getting a call a day. "Since March I have had twice as much business as before."
She has had success catching skunks this year. She caught 30 but set about five traps and did not catch anything, she said.
She is not sure whether the increase in business is a result of an increased skunk population or whether she is just becoming better known.
Since official records on complaints about skunks are not kept by any city department, it's difficult to determine whether there has been an increase in the skunk population.

Another revision would not allow anyone to be in a lattice between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., he said. If the owner or manager planned to be there during those hours he would first have to tell the chief of police. He also would need to be prepared for police police why he was planning to be there.
Schumm said this was done to prevent small parties that tend to form after a tavern closes.
The revised ordinance also provides for a license suspension system, he said. The ordinance requires that the system, only a provision for revoking licenses, which he said was difficult to comply with.
Scolmum said he expected some opposition to the ordinance proposal from the Senate. He didn't. However, he said he had worked with Jim Runsley, an attorney representing 14 cereal malt beverage license holders, and Rumsley thought the revisions were "basically
If a license was suspended, the holder would be able to appeal the action before the city commission. If the license holder was not pleased with the commission's decision he could then appeal to the district court. An appeal is also possible in an appealed system if a license was revoked.
On the third suspension the license could be revoked.

Education never ends for Kansas doctors
Physicians' licenses must be renewed every year, Meek said, but the credit hours do not have to be distributed as 50 hours a year.

MEEK SAID the University developed a continuing education program in 1949 that
"It's almost like going back to school. We have to keep updating and refreshing the skills already learned," Meek said yesterday.
"In the state of Kansas, all physicians when they renew their licenses must show they have taken 150 credit hours of continuing education every three years."

In all a student has spent 11 years studying before he sets up practice. But in Kansas, the study will never be ever.
For the past three years Kansas physicians, as well as nurses and other health professionals, have been required by the school to obtain medical knowledge, according to Joseph Meek, associate director of continuing education at the University of Kansas.
KANAS CITY, Kan.-To become a doctor of medicine, a student must go through four years of college and four years of medical school. After earning an M.D. degree, a one-year internship is required, with the maximum of two years in a residence program.

offered post-graduate classes for rural physicians.
"The University of Kansas has always been a worldwide leader in continuing medical education," he said.
It wasn't until 1976 that all Kansas physicians were required to attend post-graduate classes, he said.
Physicians can earn credit by either attending programs at the Med Center or by practicing in rural areas of the state.
"We put on several courses here, like palearnary disease courses or burn treatment courses, for example," Meek said. "I was a patient and come to the Med Center to attend these."
"OR THEY CAN choose to take the circuit course where we take them out of the home base and put them in rural areas."
Meek said that during the circuit course doctors spent four days at four sites. Two courses are in eastern Kansas and two are in the western part of the state.
For one four-day course, a physician can earn 24 credit hours.
The fee for one course is $75, which the physician pays. Meek said.
"Almost any profession updates skills, but physicians are most aware of this. When they get their degree they realize education doesn't stop.
"The need for continuing education doesn't have to be defended."
