Anderson County still Covid-19 free, says state
False report refuted;
county still with Allen,
Wilson as Covid-clean
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Despite a report
over the weekend from state
health authorities, Anderson
County has not logged its first
case of Covid-19 infection and
so far retains its distinction
with Allen and Wilson counties
as the only counties in Eastern
Kansas to be infection-free at
this point.
So far Anderson County has
managed to avoid diagnosed
infections of the disease
which along with government
response to it has amounted to
a near total shutdown of public
gatherings in the country since
mid-March. Kansas Governor
Laura Kellys March 28 stay-athome order for all but essential
workers limited public activities to all but the most essential
functions like purchasing groceries and individual outdoor
activities. Residents have been
generally limited to gatherings
of no more than 10 people and
pressed to ensure social distancing of a minimum of 6 feet
between people not of the same
household.
Though
no infections
have been reported locally,
Anderson County has been
swept up in the same pandemic whirlwind as the rest of
Kansas and the country since
the advent of Covid-19. The
restrictions brought about by
Governor Kellys executive
orders and by other directives
from President Trump and
the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control have evaporated public gatherings, and with them
most of the business and economic activities that depend
on gatherings and movement of
people. Hardest hit have been
special events like concerts,
theaters, restaurants and others that depend on groupings
of customers in a defined area.
Kelly even enforced the no
crowds order on churches, and
was upheld over the weekend
by the Kansas Supreme Court
after state legislators attempted to override the order, alleging it restricted the right to
assembly and of religious freedom.
Kristi Zears with the Kansas
Department of Health and
Envronments, said the false
positive case was misidentified from another county.
Data included with that initial report said 47 Anderson
County residents had been tested for the infection.
J.D. Mersman, head of
Anderson County Emergency
Preparedness, said the erroneous report caused a stir locally.
What KDHE shows is to
be considered preliminary
data and subject to change,
Mersman said. A positive case
should not be considered 100%
accurate until an official press
release occurs from either/or
Anderson County or Southeast
Kansas Multi-county Health
Department (SEKMHD).

Stretch from Welda
to five-mile junction
blocked til late 2020
BY DANE HICKS
Republican legislators overturned her executive order
limiting church gatherings.
Legislators said while they
agreed that Kansas residents
should avoid the gatherings
to reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19, it was a violation of religious freedom for
the governor and the State of
Kansas to arrest citizens for
going to church.
On Saturday, the Kansas
Supreme Court agreed with
Kelly, not addressing the
religous freedom issue but
instead asserting the legislative body did not have
WELDA Traffic on U.S.
Highway 169 between Welda
and the south junction of U.S.
169/59 (five-mile junction) will
close Wednesday as Kansas
Department of Transportation
contractors continue a major
renovation to the stretch of
road from Welda to Garnett.
Priscilla Peterson with
KDOT said last week the
closing would be effective
Wednesday, April 15, from the
south junction of 169/59 south
to Maryland Road just south of
Welda. The south junction of
169/59 is five miles south of the
northern roundabout fork of
the two highways, commonly
referred to as five-mile junction.
Peterson said the closure
will be in effect until late 2020.
The department will detour
northbound traffic on U.S. 169
from the U.S. 169/U.S. 54 junction at Iola, east on U.S. 54 to
the U.S. 54/U.S. 59 junction at
Moran, then travel north and
west on U.S. 59 to the south
U.S. 59/U.S. 169 junction fivemile junction. Southbound
U.S. 169 traffic will take the
same detour route in the opposite direction.
The highway closure is
part of the $21 million project to reconstruct and rehabilitate 7 miles of U.S. 169
in Anderson County. Work
started in early March. Bettis
Asphalt & Construction of
Topeka is the primary contractor.
The stretch of highway from
the five-mile junction to the
roundabout is the most heavily trafficked road in Anderson
County, according to KDOT
traffic counts, with an average
of some 5,000 vehicles a day.
Complicating the project
for highway workers is additional traffic and activity from
a gas line replacement and
extraction project underway
concurrently by Southern Star
Central Gas Pipeline. That
project requires moving workers and equipment all along
the line which generally runs
west of U.S. 59. Numerous vehicles associated with that project were to have determined
their own routes along county
roads since that project began
in order to avoid construction
delays.
Peterson said part of K-58
will also be resurfaced this
year from the Anderson/
Coffey county line east to its

City to discuss assisting stimulus for local businesses
Options include utility
breaks, voucher program to
encourage local spending
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT City officials are expected to unveil a Community Giveback
Program in coming weeks as a stimulus for local businesses in an attempt
to help prod the local economy, after
numerous local businesses closed or
were severely restricted as a result of
Covid-19.
Garnett City Manager Chris Weiner
told city commissioners in a report
in advance of tonights remote city
commission meeting the program,
which was suggested at a recent special
meeting by commissioner Greg Gwin,
was being headed up by the Garnett
Area Chamber of Commerce and
the Anderson County Development
Agency.
We plan to communicate with
local businesses and hopefully begin to
publicly promote this program at the
Chamber, ecodevo group announce
startup for business assistance plan
GARNETT Anderson
County
Economic
Development (ACDA)and
the Garnett Area Chamber
of Commerce (GACC) are
introducing the Community
Give Back Program to help
local busiensses affected by
the Covid-19 shutdown.
For every customer that
spends $100 dollars in the
approved businesses, they
will receive $10 in Chamber
Bucks. Please see the details
of the program at the websites below.
This program is meant to
focus on the hardest hit local
businesses.
The program is designed
to benefit those business-
es that have been severely
impacted by the pandemic.
Businesses have the option
to not participate in this
program if and would like
others to benefit with earmarked resources.
ACDA and GACC are
generously funding the
program, both contributing $2,000 each, for a total
of $4,000 in funding. These
funds will be distributed as
mentioned to consumers in
$10 increments in Chamber
Bucks.

beginning of next week, Weiner told
commissioners.
Weiner said some of the ideas for
the citys participation in the program
including possibly waiving penalties
for late utility payments, discounting
utility payments, waiving utility bills
altogether, tying discounted utilities to
the amount spent at locally qualifying
businesses, or sending two $10 coupons
redeemable at qualifying businesses to
all city utility customers.
A $2 trillion federal stimulus package approved by the U.S. Congress
weeks ago included several loan and
payroll reimbursement programs,
some of which dont have to be repaid.
Local businesses have to make application through a certified Small Business
Administration lender for most of the
programs.

Plan for drive-in Easter service
scuttled by weather, not politics
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A plan for a
drive-in
cross-deonominational Easter religious service
organized by the local miniserial alliance was cancelled
due to weather on Sunday,
while other church meetingsfound themselves cross-wise
with Governor Laura Kellys
meeting size restrictions.
The Garnett plan was orignally formed by the Garnett
Ministerial Alliance as a special event to celebrate Easter
while adhering to social
distancing mandates by the
governors executive order
against gatherings of more
than 10 people. Local ministers planned a flatbed trailer stage at Anderson County
High Schools parking lot
arranged so worshippers
could drive in and park within viewing distance while
they tuned in the audio on
a local low-power FM radio
station while remaining in
their own vehicles with their
windows rolled up. Garnett
Church of the Nazarene
pastor Jonathan Hall said
Sunday incoming storms
scutted the service.
The move came the same
weekend Kelly sued the

They were married for 67 years
and had two children, Douglas
Wayne and Marcia Ann.
After a brief stay in Atwood,

During her years in Colony,
she was one of the founding
members of the Jolly Dozen
Club, which is still functioning today, and a member of
the Colony United Methodist
Church.
She is preceded in death

Colony Christian Church
The word of the Lord
suspends services temporarily
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
a live-streamed sermon today
on Being Prepared. In Daniel
6, Daniel continues to pray to
God, even tho King Darius forbid everyone from worshiping
anyone but himself. Daniel's
situation changed on the outside, but he stayed consistent
by honoring God. King Darius
recognized this, and when
Daniel was thrown into the
lion's den, he shouted "May
your God, whom you serve so
faithfully, save you." There is
no need to be concerned when
we know God, we just need to
do what we've always done. 1.
Pray: 1 Thessalonians 5:13 tells
us to always be joyful, to never
stop praying and to give thanks
in all circumstances. 2. Have
confident hope: Romans 12 tells
us we can have hope because
we know that God is in control.
3. Adapt: Mark 16:15 tells us to
go into all the world and share
the Good News about Jesus.
We are NOT in the dark.
We will be all right, one way
or another. Your faith in Jesus
is that you're on your way to
Heaven. Those on the outside
of the "den" are in the dark.
When the morning comes,
some will come running to see
if we are still alive in Jesus
(just as King Darius did when
Daniel was in the lion's den).
That will depend on the seed
that we have planted in them.
Use your faith to show who the
real God is, and shine his light
everywhere you go. Openly
declare that Jesus is Lord and
keep your eyes on eternal life.
You can watch this sermon in
its entirety on our Facebook
page.
There will be no services or
activities at the church until
further notice. Stay safe, and
Be the Church.

BY DAVID BILDERBACK
1st Kings 19 that the word of
the Lord came to him. God
said, Go out and stand on the
mountain in the presence of
the Lord, for the Lord is about
to pass by. We read that
the mountain was shook by a
great and powerful wind, and
that there was an earthquake
and a great fire but the Lord
was not in any of these. Then
Elijah heard a gentle whisper
and he went out of the cave. If
God cannot get our attention
any other way he will send
things into our lives that seem
like a powerful wind, earthquakes or fire but I believe his
preferred method is a gentle
whisper.
Maybe God is trying to get
our attention with all that is
going on around us, or maybe
he is trying to talk to us and
we prefer not to listen. The
Psalmist reminds us, For
the Lord is good and his love
endures forever, his faithfulness continues through all
generations. This text can
only describe the one true living God. Dwell on it before
you go on to your next worry.
Ministry on the Holiness of God.

In the book of First Kings
we read about the prophet
Elijah. Elijah was a prophet in
the Northern Kingdom during
the reign of King Ahab, who
was one of the most wicked
kings to reign. The Lord, the
God of Israel sent Elijah to
Ahab to tell him there would
be no rain or dew except at
Elijahs word. This drought
lasted three years and during
this time Elijah hid in places that the Lord instructed
him. Finally a long time into
the third year of the drought
Elijah returned to Ahab.
At this time the Lords people had become worshipers of
Baal which Jezebel, the wife
of King Ahab, had introduced.
Baal was the Canaanite god
which was represented by a
bull. A symbol of strength
and fertility, he was the god
of the rains and harvest. It
is interesting to note how the
Lord, the God of Israel shut
off the rains and how this god
of rain and harvest could not
prevail against the one true
God. By now the drought had
created a famine and Elijah
returned to Ahab and told
him to gather the prophets of
Baal and meet him at Mount
Carmel. Both Elijah and the
prophets of Baal prepared a
sacrifice to their God. Then
the fire of the Lord, the God
of Israel, fell on Elijahs sacrifice and it was burned up
and the people began to worship their God again. Then
all the prophets of Baal were
seized and were killed. When
Ahab told Jezebel about how
all the prophets of Baal had
been killed she vowed to kill
Elijah and he fled to Horeb,
the mountain of God and he
hid in a cave. We are told in

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, April 14, 2020
OPINION
Will China get away with it?
Corporate public relations staff and collegiate level communications instructors take
heed China is about to teach the world a
lesson in how not to handle a public relations
disaster.
The adage keeps echoing in the background:
When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
But steeped in the rigidity that has undone so
many communist nations before it, that simple
option may be beyond the Chinese regimes
ability.
Its almost like China is working overtime
to make itself look worse in the eyes of the rest
of the world, and the next year or so will determine whether the regime there will be forced to
be accountable for its ethical and moral transgressions by the rest of the nations of the world
that buy tons of cheap stuff from them.
Last week it was determined in some atypical good old fashioned news reporting by CNN
that China is working to choke off the reporting
of data from Chinese doctors and researchers regarding the countrys experience with
Covid-19. The nation unceremoniously gifted
the world with the virus when it was first
identified in the City of Wuhan last December.
CNN discovered a note on a Chinese university
website specifying that all documentation as to
the virus origin needed to be strictly monitored
and routed through the correct root system of
Chinese bureaucracy. CNN called a professor
listed among department staff on that website
and found out it was indeed true government mandates there were tightly restricting
any discussion or documentation regarding the
Covid-19 outbreak. The day after that telephone
conversation, CNN reporters said the note on
the website disappeared.
And uncharacteristically, CNN hasnt even
blamed President Trump for it yet.
But the evidence is mounting that China has
not grown a conscience in the aftermath of the
world impact of Covid-19 even more damning
it appears the communist regime hopes to
withhold what may be vital information about
the virus which the rest of the world needs in
order to find ways to fight it.
Are the Chinese soulless enough and mercenary enough to believe they can sell that
information in what is a new and developing
world market of the infected? It may sound like
a tinfoil hat theory, but those who understand
the countrys closely scripted economic and
military activities for the past 20 years might
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
not laugh off that possibility.
Regardless, in the arena of public relations
this should be the time the Chinese are doing
back over flips to illustrate to the world just
how transparent and accommodating they are
and how generous and willing they are in
providing Covid information. Keeping public
favor, when you have as many customers upon
whom your entire cheap production economy
relies, is important. For any other company
functioning in a market economy, contrition is
demanded when youve done something wrong
either purposefully or inadvertently.
It may be that, so rooted in the command
society of functional socialism, the Chinese
cant conceptualize that value much less the
morality of it. They may believe the worlds
demand for cheap stuff will protect them from
accountability. Perhaps being the cheapest
place to buy stuff means never having to say
youre sorry.
Its going to be up to the rest of the nations
of the world big customers of Chinese products like the U.S. and the E.U. to galvanize
themselves enough to lay the leather to China
over this. Perhaps the fantasies about returning
Chinese production to domestic shores in the
U.S. and Europe or at least as comparable a
threat as domestic oil production has been to
Middle East suppliers may be the ticket.
By their actions the Chinese are confirming
their punishment is deserved, and those future
actions should determine just how harsh that
punishment should be.

Medicaid expansion is welfare, not insurance
One of the most misleading statements made
in the debate over whether Kansas should
expand its Medicaid program to include the
so-called working poor, those making up to 150
percent of the federal poverty level, is when
someone calls it insurance.

is, Medicaid,
or KanCare,

in our state, is

to a cooperative or credit union; they exist
only to help their customers. In Kansas, Blue
Cross-Blue Shield is one of the largest mutual
companies. It is the states biggest private
health insurer.
Insurance companies of either type make
money by handling and investing peoples
money and from fees. They set their rates
based on the probability of what people will
need to cover medical expenses in a year.
Their experience from prior years has a lot to
do with what they expect.

designed to help
pay for medical
care for the poor.
As a program to cover those living under
the poverty level, there is no expectation people will pay for coverage. Expansion backers talk about having people pay some kind
of minimal premium, but that wont make
Medicaid into insurance.
Medicaid basically is just a government
welfare program, designed to help pay for
medical care for the poor. Nothing more.
Time was when we didnt have to pretend it
was anything else, but today, its not fashionable to refer to welfare programs as, well,
welfare programs.
Former Gov. Sam Brownback vetoed a previous attempt to expand KanCare under the
so-called Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare,
saying he didnt think people who lived above
the poverty line should be eligible for a welfare program.
Democrats and other expansion supporters thought him quite unfeeling, but he made
a point a lot of people agreed with.
Anyway, when the debate about expansion
resumes later this year, lets stick to facts.
Lets not let anyone get by with calling this
program insurance.
Its not that. Its not right to call it that. And
giving a more acceptable title would be like
putting lipstick on that proverbial pig.
Call it what it is: welfare.

NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
ties organized by actress Gal Gadot as a balm
in this time of distress — have never been so
absurdly inapt. If there were really no countries and the world were as one, wed be even
more vulnerable to whatever threat arises in a
city in central China, or anywhere else on the
globe.
Of course, travel restrictions havent prevented the spread of the disease — theres no
such thing as an airtight seal. But restrictions
at least bought governments some additional
time, and openness to foreign travel from
China has been an accelerant on its spread.
Such restrictions are the least of it. Italy
has had trouble importing masks because
European counties have been working to hold
on to medical supplies, indeed to hold on to
food. According to the Wall Street Journal,
German officials said their restrictions
were partly designed to safeguard supplies
at German supermarkets from French shoppers.
So much for a new era of European solidarity dissolving historic, centuries-old political
and cultural divisions.
In a crisis, everyone realizes their foremost
obligation is to their own.
Of course, Trump is naturally inclined to
this view. He imposed travel restrictions even
before he was truly seized with the seriousness of this crisis. The pandemic gives new
credibility to his dim view of our commercial
entanglement with China and, before this is
all over, there will probably be bipartisan
legislation to minimize our dependence on
Chinese-manufactured pharmaceuticals and
medical equipment.
None of this means that we shouldnt wish
other counties well, help them if we can, and
share research and technologies. But borders
exist for a reason. All peoples have their own
governments that, if they are doing their jobs,
put the health, safety and welfare of their own
people first.
The coronavirus has acted as a solvent on a
decade or more of cliches about the arrival of
a globalized world where old lines drawn on
a map no longer matter. In a crisis, everyone
turns to borders as a first line of defense.

A couple of my Naval career collectibles
DIGGING UP THE PAST
Henry Roeckers
Call (785) 504-4722 for
local archeology information.
Pictured here in this weeks
column are two more collectibles from my 30 year Naval
Career.
The smaller of the two, is my
very first government issued
pocket knife. It was known
to us as a Utility knife. As
you can see this knife has a
screwdriver blade as well as
a regular cutting blade. This
blade was great for locking and
un-locking the dzus fasteners
securing aircraft engine cowl-

HISTORY
ing.
The large knife was issued to
me when I became a flight crew
member. It was referred to as
a Survival Knife. Ka-Bar
is the contemporary popular
name for this combat Fighting
Knife that was first adopted
by the United States Marine
Corps in November 1942. The
United States Navy refer to it
as the U.S.Navy Utility Knife,
Mark 2.
Im sorry to report that I no
longer have the sheath for my
knife. Sometime-Somewhere
over the past 60 plus years it
has disappeared.

A group of Kincaid Alumni
are hoping to convince the
Kincaid city council this week
that turning the abandoned
Kincaid High School building
into a town center is a possibility if everyone works together.
The old classroom building and
former administrative offices
were closed by the school district when classrooms were
consolidated in 2005.

Greeley residents have
finally been successful in their
quest to have the speed limit on
U.S. 169 Highway reduced on
the part of the road known as
the Greeley curve, according
to a statement last week by 5th
District Kansas Representative
Bill Feuerborn. A request by
residents for the speed limit
decrease has now been acted
upon and a new speed of 55 mph
would be posted on the section of the roadway this week.
The new speed limit would be
effective on the portion of the
highway where the present city
limits now exist.

Edith M. Fulwider, of Tulsa,
formerly a telephone operator, sued H. R. Ketcham, a
rich hotel owner, for damages
for breach of promise to marry
her. Miss Fulwider was represented by E.K. Robinett (a former Anderson County boy) and
another attorney by the name
of Ford. It was a hard-fought
case, but by the good work of
the girls attorneys, the jury
gave her a verdict for damages
in the sum of $100,000.

Central Heights Tyler Stevenson
signs with Ottawa University
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – For Central
Heights
runner
Tyler
Stevenson, it has been an up
and down past month as the
realization came that his high
school career was done prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With in-class learning
shut down and all extra cirricular activities halted, Stevenson
has taken it all in stride.
At first I was heartbroken,
Stevenson stated, because I
always set team and personal goals and not getting that
chance stinks.
For many athletes the cancellation of spring sports brought
an abrupt end to their athletic
careers so Stevenson is one of
the few that will get another
chance.
I felt better once I realized
my running career wasnt over
and that I was just moving on
to the next level sooner than
expected, he said.
Ottawa was an easy choice
for Stevenson as his sister
Amanda currently runs their
as well, which made a natural
connection with the coaching
staff.
Add on the fact that a close
friend is on the team made
it feel like a good fit for me,
Stevenson added.
Stevenson hasnt heard from
his college coaching staff on
the upcoming season yet but
is trying to stay optimistic as
he continues to work out with
his friend that is also a future
teammate.
I havent heard any input
from my coaches yet but my
hopes are that it will start as
planned, he said.
Heading into his freshman
season, Stevenson has set high
expectations after a standout
career for the Vikings.
Since I always like setting
high goals, I hope to be a key
contributor in taking the team
to Nationals. By the time I graduate I hope to have an over-
all successful four years and
improve my time greatly.
Stevenson has had great
team and individual success,
especially in cross country. In
high school, he made the trip
to State all four years of cross
country which included 2 state
runner ups in 2017 and 2019
and a state championship in
2018. Stevenson would finish
12th, 8th and 9th respectively
the past 3 seasons.
Stevenson had his sights
set on breaking the 800 meter
record for Central Heights this
season but still boasts two trips
to state in track & field as he
qualified in the 800 meter run,
1600 meter run and 4×800 meter
run his sophomore and junior
seasons.

Through Heavens Angels
by Arabella Dunbar
Ms. Dunn
6th Grade Central Heights
I was playing point. The ball
bouncing at my side, then I was
shooting. The ball
rolling off my hand
and flying through
the air towards the
basket. Just before
it reached it, I woke.
It was a dream.
I set up in my bed wide
awake. Today was
my first day of middle
school basketball. I was
12 years old and was
dribbling a ball as I walk
to the kitchen. I pulled open
the cabinet and prepared my
raisin bran cereal. Then I went
outside to practice. After about
an hour my hand started hurting and I hopped on my bike to
go to school.
At school I tried hard to focus
on my work, but found it very
challenging. When the seventh
hour bell rang I raced for the
locker room to change. I walked
into a gym filled with other
girls around my age. I have to
admit I was rather intimidated. I was put on varsity and
helped in our
first victory.
During our
practice, something unforseeable happened. I
was going in for
a layup when I
was charged and
hit my head. I
was rushed to the
hospital immediately. My heart was
slowing rapidly until
I saw it. In front of me stood a
golden being. Gillian, remember who you are. Dont give
up yet. In that instant I felt
my strength. I ran out of the
hospital and took a cab to my
school for the championship
game. I remembered the dream
and this time it was real.

No
marketing
plan
accounts for such rapid
declines. Markets are in turmoil because theres no basis
to guide future decisions.
Upended supply chains are
straining to recalibrate to
the dynamics of our presently slowed society that has
wrecked our world.
I cant imagine the agony
of public health officials who
face making unprecedented
decisions. I cant imagine the
fear health care workers must
have going to work every day.
I cant imagine the pain of hospitality workers whove lost
their livelihoods are enduring. I cant imagine the grief
of families whove lost loved
ones without being by their
side and suffered the further
indignity of not holding a
funeral.
I cant imagine whats going
through farmers minds with
planting decisions looming. I
cant imagine the anguish of
ranchers balancing keeping
cattle and the daily cost to feed
them versus selling at what
amounts to fire sale prices. I
cant imagine the rage dairy
producers feel when dumping
milk.
While I cant comprehend
the situations so many find
themselves in, I know we are
all struggling to come to grips
with enduring this crisis at a
distance. I also know there are
countless people who are still
working behind the scenes to
either mitigate the economic
effects or end the pandemic.
I know this because Ive
seen it firsthand these past
few weeks at Kansas Farm
Bureau (KFB), where our mis-
sion is to strengthen agriculture and the lives of Kansans
through advocacy, education
and service.
In addition to KFB staff,
county Farm Bureaus and
members across the state have
stepped up to provide educational resources and opportunities to parents whove also
become substitute teachers.
A partnership between
KFBs
Foundation
for
Agriculture, county Farm
Bureaus and Farm Bureau
Financial Services has the
ambitious goal of ending hunger in Kansas.
Our advocacy staffers are
working with their counterparts at the American
Farm Bureau Federation to
ensure the U.S. Department of
Agriculture understands the
needs of Kansas farmers and
ranchers as it crafts a relief
program authorized in the
CARES Act.
Separately these may seem
like small things, but theyre
small things within our control. Thats how we get past
the confusion and gain clarity
as we begin to rebuild a world
forever changed.

Rebuilding Our World
Greg Doering,
Kansas Farm Bureau
I was a sophomore in college when Sept. 11 happened.
Like everyone else, I remember a lot of confusion in the
aftermath of that day. It wasnt
until about a week later when
a letter from my father drove
home the impact.
The world has forever
changed, he wrote. Thats the
line that stuck in my brain
nearly two decades later. My
dad wasnt prone to hyperbole. He didnt make grand,
definitive statements. Of
course, his blunt assessment
then was correct.
Unfortunately, my fathers
words hold true for todays
current crisis.
Like everyone else, farmers
and ranchers have seen their
world turned upside down in
a short amount of time. The
year started on a bright note
with optimism that new and
expanded trade deals would
help lift commodity prices
from years-long doldrums.
The confluence of an oil price
war, COVID-19 and the fallout
from both have hammered the
agricultural sector.
The pain is widespread.
Prices have cratered in nearly
every corner of agriculture.
May corn is down 15 percent
from mid-January because of
cratering demand for ethanol.
Cotton, a small but growing
crop in Kansas, is off nearly
30 percent. The silver lining
for crops is soybeans, down 10
percent.
Despite lower grain prices,
livestock producers are seeing
freefalling prices as well. Hogs
and live cattle are off more
than 30 percent, while dairy is

Law enforcement impersonators on
the rise across the state of Kansas
TOPEKA The Kansas
Bureau of Investigation
(KBI), Kansas Highway
Patrol (KHP), and local law
enforcement agencies around
the state have experienced
an increase in reports of law
enforcement impersonators
stopping Kansas travelers.
In the past several weeks,
the KBI has identified approximately 10 reports of suspected law enforcement impersonations occurring in several counties in the state. So
far, no travelers have reported injuries or stolen property
during these incidents.
In many of the incidents
reported, the impersonator is
in a vehicle without official
police markings, but emergency lights are used. The
impersonator often questions
whether the drivers travel is
essential, or asks for workplace documentation.
Per Executive Order 20-16,
No individual leaving their
home in order to perform an
activity or function allowed
under this order shall be
required to carry or present any letter, identification
card, or other paper proving
they are allowed to leave
their home.
Executive Order 20-16 may
be found in full at: https://
governor.kansas.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/EO2016.pdf
If you feel you are the target of an impersonator, you
should slow down, activate
your hazard lights, and call
911 to confirm the vehicle
following you is law enforcement.
If you believe you have
recently been stopped by a
law enforcement impersonator, please contact your
local law enforcement agency and report the incident.
In addition to notifying local
law enforcement, please
report the information online
to the KBI at http://www.
kbi.ks.gov/sar or by calling
1-800-KS-CRIME.
The KBI will continue to
work with KHP and local law
enforcement agencies to identify and locate law enforcement impersonators operating in Kansas.

Notice to control
noxious weeds
(First published in The Anderson County
Review, Tuesday, April 7, 2020)
SUBSCRIBE!
In compliance with the provisions of K.S.A.
25-204, a Primary Election will be held August
4, 2020. Candidates for the following offices will
be nominated by each political party which has
qualified to participate in the Primary Election:
TOPEKA, KAN. The
Powerball Product Group and
the Mega Millions Consortium
announced changes to the
starting jackpots and guaranteed jackpot increase amounts
for both Powerball and Mega
Millions that were enacted this
past week.
Beginning after the April
8 Powerball drawing and the
April 10 Mega Millions drawing, the starting jackpot for
both games has been changed
to $20 million as opposed to
$40 million. Additionally, both
games have temporarily eliminated a guaranteed increase
amount per draw, as the jackpot increase will be based off
sales of the game and interest
rates.
Because of these changes, the lottery has decided to
1. Serving a legal notice requiring control
of the noxious weeds within a minimum of five
days. Failure to control the noxious weeds
within the time period allowed may result in
the county treating the noxious weeds at the
landowners expense and placing a lien of the
property if the bill is not paid within 30 days or,
2. Filing criminal charges for non-compliance. Conviction for non compliance may
result in a fine of $100 per day of non-compliance with a maximum fine of $1500.
The public is also hereby notified that it is a
violation of the Kansas Noxious Weed Law to
barter, sell or give away infested nursery stock
or livestock feed unless the feed is fed on the
farm where grown or sold to a commercial
processor that will destroy the viability of
the noxious weed seed. Custom harvesting
machines must be labeled with a label provided
by the Kansas Dept. of Agriculture and must be
free of all weed seed and litter when entering
the State and when leaving a field infested with
noxious weeds. Additional information may
be obtained from the Anderson County Weed
Department or by contacting the Kansas Dept.
of Agriculture, 109 SW 9th, Topeka, KS 66612.

tion with U.S. 169. That project
will consist of resurfacing with
a one-inch mill and one-inch
asphalt overlay. She said traffic will be handled by flaggers
and a pilot car with delays of
15 minutes or less. The project
should take about a month, but
she said KDOT does not have
a starting date for this project.
Another project with no
defined start date yet is a mill
and overlay of K-31 starting
at the south junction of K-31
and U.S. 59 (five mile junction)
extending south to the junction
of K-31 and K-65 in northern
Bourbon County at Mapleton.
Peterson said most of the
delays at these construction
areas are expected to run 15
minutes or less.

She may be your mom or your sister or your neighbor

her quest, shes now your knight templar; the champion that stands between us and the unknown in
these times of trial, fear and danger.
Shes ready for the fight.
She may be a doctor or a nurse. He may do your lab

that follows your treatment. He may bring your father his dinner at the nursing home. She may work
on the ambulance that brings you to the hospital. He
may wage battle with a spray bottle of disinfectant
and a mop.
They are the heart and soul of the front lines; an
army of caring.
We wanted to use this chance to tell all of you all
of our heroes in the health care and medical services
fields how much we appreciate what youre doing.
Thank you.
