New city judge: No more flip-flops in court
Wilson said decorum will
point toward justice in city
court under his watch
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Newly appointed Garnett
Municipal Court Judge Steve Wilson
says the style of dress and conduct
exhibited by many patrons in city
court flies in the face of proper decorum. Therefore, as of now a dress code
and other rules will be enforced.
I visited court a couple of times
before I was appointed, and it just
didnt fit with something I thought
was appropriate for the center of
law in a community, Wilson said.
If youre going to
court, you need to
dress and act like
youre doing something important,
because you really
are doing something
important.
Wilson
Municipal court
is the formal judicial
branch of city government handling
violations of city ordinances, traffic
violations, and certain misdemeanors
with procedures and rules of evidence
determined by case law and statutory
mandates, with participants entitled
the legal representation just as they
are in the countys district court. An
explanation of municipal court procedures is posted at the citys website at
simplygarnett.net/municipal-court.
html.
To date, what has not been part
of the website are requirements for
dress and proper decorum. Wilson
said he drafted the new rules and
dress code because there seems to be
a palpable disrespect for courts and
courtrooms throughout all levels of
the judicial system. Change has to
start somewhere, so why not in small
towns like our own.
Code enforcement, compliance
with statutes and city ordinances are
the protections that we enact for the
citizenry and court is the place where
those protections are guaranteed and
enforced, Wilson said. People have
to understand that, and that respect
for the court and the courtroom as a
venue of justice is a must.
Wilson is also an announced candidate for Anderson County Attorney
in the upcoming August primary elec-
tion.
Wilson said from now on courtroom participants will be expected to
dress the part no more tank tops, halter tops, no bare midriffs, no slippers,
thongs or flip-flops. No clothing with
foul language or obscene gestures.
Pants must be worn at the belt line, no
visible undergarments, and boots or
shoes must be worn at all times. A full
list of dress requirements will be posted at the city court web page at www.
simplygarnett.com/municipal-court.

City sewer fix would run
$17.8 mil, engineers say
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Ideally, managing Garnett's sewer
system and its stormwater drainage system
should be two completely separate sets of
mechanics stormwater gets directed to local
lakes and streams to alleviate possible flooding
of populated areas, while sewer water should
travel an undiluted path to the city's sewage
treatment plant. Ideally, as the saying goes,
never the twain shall meet.
But parts of Garnett's sewer system were built
in 1910 of now century-old clay pipe which now
has holes in it and is partially collapsed in some
places. Holes in that system allow groundwater
to leach into the sewer system, which overloads
the sewage treatment plant in times of heavy
rain. Built and added on to over the course of the
entire century, Garnett Commissioners found
out just how expensive an overhaul of that system is in modern day dollars.
Commissioners heard a presentation Tuesday
night from former residents Dan and Ben
Coltrane of Midwest Engineering, with options
and pricing on that type of overhaul, and the
lack of action on the subject by the commission relayed the citys present inability to fund
repairs of that magnitude.
Ben Coltrane told commissioners the overall

Kansas teachers want more protection from student violence
BY SUZANNE PEREZ
KANSAS NEWS SERVICE
WICHITA Just a few days after
this school year started, Dave Clark,
then athletic director at Wichita
West High School, was standing in a
hallway when a fight broke out.
A school security officer had
restrained a student, but the brawl
continued. When another student
jumped on the officers back and
began punching him, Clark ran in to
help.
I got between the police officer
and the mob, Clark said. Thats
the last thing I remember, because I
was knocked unconscious.
Clark suffered a severe concussion and a torn rotator cuff. He was
on medical leave for the rest of the
school year, getting post-concussion
therapy to manage dizziness and
balance issues. But last month, after
Clark had missed 180 days, Wichita
replaced him at West High.
I lost my career that I loved,
through no fault of my own, by protecting the police officer and students, he said. So it is maddening.
District officials wont talk about
the case because its a personnel
issue. Clark hopes to get a teaching
position, but hes out as athletic
director.
Over the past few years, schools
across the country are reporting
more incidents of student-on-teacher violence. In a recent nationwide
survey, about a third of school leaders said theyve noticed an uptick in
physical altercations since the pandemic. And experts believe behavior issues could be worsening the
teacher shortage.
But most states, including
Kansas, dont track teacher injuries. Although Wichita schools prepare students and staff members for

Wilson said the repairs, which
amount to the remaining system installed in 1910 and later
upgraded in the 1930s and

an estimated $41 per month

The sewer system issue is
tied to an ongoing exercise by
the city to define a plan for

officials think the costs of a

infiltrating the sewer system.
that project has been under discussion since 2017.

We must obey God
rather than men!
By the time we reach chapter 5 of the Book of Acts Jesus
has ascended into heaven and
the Holy Spirit has come at
Pentecost. In chapter 5 we find
the apostles being arrested and
put in public jail. However
during the night an angel of the
Lord opened the doors of the
jail and brought them out. He
instructed them to, Go stand
in the temple courts and tell the
people the full message of this
new life. When the assembly
requested that the apostles be
brought before them they found
they were not in jail but back
in the temple courts teaching
the people. The assembly had
instructed the apostles not to
teach concerning Jesus. Peter
then gives the assembly this
statement, We must obey God
rather than men! This created
quite a stir within the assembly and they wanted to put the
apostles to death. Gamaliel, a
teacher of the law, requested
they put the apostles outside
and discuss the issue. He pointed out that two revolutionaries, Theudas and Judas the
Galilean led revolts and when
they were killed their followers
were scattered. He advised the
assembly as follows. Leave
these men alone! Let them go!
For if their purpose or activity
is of human origin it will fail.
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
But if it is of God, you will not
be able to stop these men; you
will find yourselves fighting
against God.
Because of the current world
situation we find ourselves in
a similar situation. The pendulum has swung so far to the
left that we are faced with a
decision that if we are followers
of Jesus we are instantly pitted against the popular world
view. Some are putting their
faith in Jesus but it has become
apparent there is a price for
acknowledging him. If you do
it publicly you are going to be
excluded. There is a line or
division where people would
rather have the approval of
men than the approval of God.
So whatever they think about
Jesus they are not saying anything. If we ignore evil because
it is not touching us by the time
it does it will be too late for
our voice to make a difference.
We must obey God rather than
men.!

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, April 16, 2024
OPINION
Im paying your student loan. Youre welcome.
If you happen to be in a grocery store or gas
station in Kansas the next few days, get a good
look at the person at the checkout ahead of you.
You and probably your yet-to-be born grandkids may be paying off that persons federal
student loan.
President Biden again mocked a U.S. Supreme
Court ruling last week and approved loan forgiveness for another 2,550 student loan borrowers in Kansas, bringing the total now to more
than 26,000 Kansans whove been exempted from
repaying the money they borrowed for their
college educations. Bidens actions nationwide
yesterday sent the loans of another 277,000 borrowers $7.4 billion to the heaping pile of U.S.
national debt.
Ive borrowed a little money in my day, and of
all the things Im not sure about like how the
boat gets in the bottle and what really happened
to Jimmy Hoffa and what geometric shape best
describes Jerry Nadlers body theres one
thing thats crystal clear: People to whom you
owe money tend not to forget it. They tend to
want it back, and they tend to have lots of legal
tentacles and notations on balance sheets and
beads on abacuses and numbers written on the
backs of their hands and accounting stuff like
that so they dont forget to remind you that you
still owe the money. And until someone pays that
money back, its never, as Joe Biden likes to say,
forgiven.
That forgiveness those borrowers now
enjoy of course doesnt include the portion of
their federal income tax that will go toward
that loan as well as taxes to be withheld from
paychecks of workers who have yet to enter the
workforce or who have even left the womb yet
for that matter. Because you see the Chinese and
others holding our nations present $34 trillion
federal debt, where that forgiven student loan
debt will now reside, are not likely to let us forget about it either.
The White House says those forgiven Kansas
borrowers total $1.2 billion in debt cancellation
out of the total $153 billion so far gifted, courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, to 4.3 million Americans.
While the recent move adds $7.4 billion to the
nations debt load, higher prices driven by inflation are racking U.S. households.
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach led a
contingent of 11 other state AGs to oppose the
federal giveaway in late March, following the
ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court which said the
president lacked the Constitutional authority to
forgive federal student loans. The justices said
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
that authority rested solely in the U.S. Congress.
The Biden Administration has argued that
Congress gave authority to the U.S. Department
of Education whose head is appointed within
the presidents cabinet to define the terms of
income driven student loan repayment plans
in 1993. But if you hadnt noticed over the past
three years, Joe Bidens interpretation of reality
and the different roles of the three branches of
the U.S. Government is a little..how do I say this
and be kind… fluid.
The Supreme Court blocked it, but that
didnt stop me, Biden said at the time. Critics
say the effort is a thinly-veiled attempt to bribe
younger working age voters as Bidens troubled
administration continues to freefall in the polls
headed toward the 2024 election.
The White House detailed the Kansas portion
of the loan giveaways to date:
$44 million in debt cancellation for 3,150 people in Kansas through SAVE early loan forgiveness.
$530 million in debt cancellation for 10,390
people in Kansas through fixes to other IncomeDriven Repayment plans.
$526 million in debt cancellation for 8,370
public service workers in Kansas.
$123 million in debt cancellation for 4,660
people in Kansas with a total and permanent
disability.
This one more straw on the camels back of
the nations massive debt is bad enough but its
not the biggest risk involved in the issue. The
biggest risk is in Americans so devoid of morality that they think its okay for others to pay off
the debts they incurred in broad daylight with
their eyes wide open. Thats a failing that goes
far past any forgiveness. ###

This is in response to the comment about the
bloodbath. Trump did not say there would be
a bloodbath in the United States if he was not
elected. What he said was the entire statement,
there would be a bloodbath in the auto industry
if Im not elected because Biden is determined to

Twas Trump Derangement Syndrome killed the media
Someday in 300 years or so theyll cut open a
tree and therell be a ring marking the pandemic
not of COVID-19, but of Trump Derangement
Syndrome in the year of our Lord 2016.
It may be remembered as the year things truly
began to go south for the republic. The bizarre
baying at the moon that greeted Donald Trumps
election should have heralded the coming pandemic, had we fully taken notice.
Indeed, as much as the coronavirus, Trump
Derangement Syndrome has changed everything
particularly for the news media and, more
importantly, for your ability to stay informed.
As a 40-year veteran of newspapers I saw it
firsthand, in my radicalized colleagues who no
longer sought truth but, instead, every possible
edge and advantage for the left. In a news industry in which Id always seen bias I now saw the
complete corruption of a formerly noble mission.
I once felt quite alone in this realization. In
fact, the recruiter for my final newspaper job
nicknamed me The Unicorn, apparently for
being the only opinion writer in the country
with right-of-center views my leftist co-workers
might be able to tolerate (though in the end, they
could not).
So, its a tiny but tasty grain of comfort to now
see I was not alone, after all, in my front-row seat
to journalisms self-immolation.
Journalisms bleed-out suicide
If you want a succinct treatise on journalisms
bleed-out suicide, read the 2020 resignation letter of liberal former New York Times opinion
COMMENTARY
MICHAEL RYAN, THE HEARTLANDER
writer/editor Bari Weiss. Much like me, a newspaper had brought her in tasked with bringing
the ideological perspectives of conservatives,
centrists and first-time writers to the papers
opinion pages after the 2016 election.
In her heartbreaking letter, Weiss laments
that the lessons that ought to have followed
the election lessons about the importance of
understanding other Americans, the necessity of
resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free
exchange of ideas to a democratic society have
not been learned.
Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the
press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that
truth isnt a process of collective discovery, but
an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened
few whose job is to inform everyone else.
Her experience and hard-won wisdom was
only confirmed in a recent interview she conducted on her Honestly Bari podcast with Uri
Berliner, senior business editor and reporter at
NPR.
Ive Been at NPR for 25 Years. Heres How
We Lost Americas Trust, a headline blares on
a companion Berliner op-ed on Weiss digital
media companys site The Free Press.
The self-admitted prototypical NPR listener,
who claims to have been raised by a lesbian
peace activist mother, Berliner nonetheless
mourns what the network has become.
Its true NPR has always had a liberal
bent, but during most of my tenure here, an
open-minded, curious culture prevailed. We
were nerdy, but not knee-jerk, activist, or scolding, he writes. In recent years, however, that
has changed. Today, those who listen to NPR
or read its coverage online find something different: the distilled worldview of a very small
segment of the U.S. population.
Asked by Weiss when that happened, Berliner
points largely to the tree ring.
I think part of it was Trumps election, he
told Weiss. I think, like every newsroom, every
legacy media newsroom, we were shocked, disturbed, distraught, really troubled. We assumed
Hillary Clinton was going to win and she didnt.
And it was really an unsettling experience.
To me, it revealed that we didnt really understand a lot of what was going on in America, that
we were out of touch.

There are worse things Trump can do than sell a Bible
Of all the objectionable things Donald Trump
has ever done, selling a Bible would seem to
rank pretty far down the list.
Yet his marketing, along with Lee Greenwood,
of a God Bless the U.S.A. Bible for $59.99 has
occasioned a couple of news cycles of outrage.
The Bible has an American flag cover and
accompanying American historical documents,
including the Declaration of Independence, as
well as the words to Greenwoods iconic patriotic song.
Hawking the Bible like its a digital trading
card or a personalized sneaker — to name a couple of other products Trump has pushed in his
inimitable style — is tasteless and unpresidential, needless to say.
Dwight Eisenhower didnt market golf balls,
and it was notoriously Jimmy Carters brother -not the president — who sold a specially branded
beer.
Nor should anyone confuse the handiwork
of Thomas Jefferson — or Lee Greenwood — with
the Word of God.
But the incensed commentary makes it sound
as though Trump is the first person to sell an
edition of a Bible catering to a niche market.
In reality, theres a dizzying array of Bibles in
this country for people with different interests,
whether its the law enforcement Bible, busy
moms Bible or outdoorsmans Bible with a camouflage cover and devotions that tie directly to
the sports of hunting, fishing, backpacking or
any outdoor activity.
The God Bless the U.S.A. Bible was first published in 2021 and already had competition in
the American Patriots Bible from 2009.
The fact is that selling Bibles is a very
American venture, and the Bible, particularly
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
the King James Version endorsed by Trump,
is a very American book, in fact, the American
book.
The ships carpenter on the Mayflower might
have brought the first copy of the King James
Bible to our shores. The historian of Christianity
Mark Noll notes that the Bible was often the
only book that families owned.
By around 1800, traveling Bible salesman
Parson Weems (famous for his biography of
George Washington) was marveling at the hot
market: I tell you, this is the very season and
age of the Bible. Bible dictionaries, Bible tales,
Bible stories — Bibles plain or paraphrased,
Careys Bibles, Collins Bibles, Clarkes Bibles,
Kimptors Bibles, no matter what or whose, all,
all will go down, so wide is the crater of public
appetite at this time.
According to Noll, between 1794 and 1815,
186 novels were published in America compared to 246 editions of the New Testament
or the full Bible. Almost all of the Bibles published before 1840 were the King James Version.
Already early in the 19th century, he writes,
printer-publishers were creating and meeting
demand by packaging the King James Version
in many sizes, shapes, and prices.
Constant innovations in printing and distribution meant that the Bible and Bible-related
literature led to what another historian calls
the birth of mass media in America.
The King James Version played an enormous
role in shaping Americas anti-monarchical attitudes during the Revolution. And the way the
Bible pervaded and shaped American life was
one reason that the countrys early leaders
hoped a state establishment of religion was
unnecessary — thanks to the Bible, they could
have Christianity, and a virtuous society, without Christendom.
The King James Bible became foundational
to American rhetoric and literature such that
it is impossible to imagine the work of the likes
of Martin Luther King Jr. or William Faulkner
without it. Even as its influence has declined, we
often quote or echo it without even realizing it.
The great influence of the King James
Version in American history, Noll has said,
came precisely because it was so widely available; because precisely its words, and what the
words communicated, had entered so deeply into
the consciousness of so many Americans, and
particularly of otherwise voiceless Americans.
The God Bless the U.S.A. Bible wont be a signal contribution to this tradition, but neither is
it a betrayal of it.

of that hate and anger is going to eat you

Try to do something else with all that misplaced energy like volunteering, taking a

practicing gratitude.
Bidens second term agenda includes ending
gas and diesel vehicles, coal and gas power
plants, freon, nitrogen fertilizer and natural
gas home heating, destroying vast swaths of
our environment and farmland with endless
windmill and solar panel boondoggles, and
moving gang-infested high crime high density

HISTORY
Exciting finds eluding me Pair of Richmond natives to speak about their book
Am I ever glad that perhaps
Spring is actually here. In fact
Ive been out to both my sites
this past week. Luckily I still
have a few photos of artifacts
that Ive found during past
excavations, because I sure
havent found any new or exciting artifacts lately.
Gold and silver just seem to
keep eluding me for some odd
reason.
#1 – Odds and ends thats for
sure. A partial suspender slide
lock, salt & pepper shaker top,
decorative pin, a ladies belt
slide and a lead seal 222. Ive
been told bags of flour, coffee
beans, etc. came with lead seals
in the 1800s.
#2 – A rather large brass key.
#3 – An old bone tooth brush,
minus bristles.

The story of the Union colonel from Linn County who
is considered The First
Jayhawker is told in a new
book by two historians who
grew up in neighboring
Franklin County.
Richmond natives Todd
Mildfelt and David D. Schafer
will share insights and stories
from their book about James
Montgomery at 2 pm, Sunday,
April 21st at the Richmond
Community Museum.
The book, Abolitionist of the
Most Dangerous KindJames
Montgomery and His War
on Slavery, took 13 years of
research, writing and editing
to publication in late 2023, all
while Mildfelt lived in Kansas
and Schafer in Texas.
Schafer had known for years
that his great-great-grandfather Stites was in the Westport
campaign and Montgomery
was the commander. Mildfelt
became interested in the colonel as he was researching for a
previous book he wrote.
Using information from at
least 40 sources in six states and
much more via phone calls and
the Internet, the book follows
Montgomerys life from Ohio to
Kansas in 1844, as an abolitionist along the Missouri/Kansas
border, then as leader of the
US 34th Colored Troops. This
part was depicted in the movie
Glory.
The two men were inspired
to write about Montgomery in
several other ways, including
ideas shared by their Pittsburg
State University history professors and from Franklin
Co. Historical Societys then
Director Deb Barker. They
noticed Montgomerys name
showing up often and decided to do the necessary deep
research.
Called the most definitive
biography of Montgomery
published by a noted reviewer,
the book has received additional accolades.
Both authors grew up in
Richmond, where they read
all the history books in the
Richmond Library, then the
Central Heights School libraries. Both were history majors
at Pittsburg State University.
The book is dedicated to their

it never happened, to move
on with no mea culpas, no
self-reflection. Especially when
you expect high standards of
transparency from public figures and institutions, but dont
practice those standards yourself. Thats what shatters trust
and engenders cynicism about
the media.
(The core problem here
might be found in Berliners
phrase youre emotionally
invested in a narrative. Thats
absolutely antithetical to any
semblance of good journalism. What the heck are they
teaching in J-schools and newsrooms these days?)
The distemper spreads
The thing is, Russia collusion was only among the
first signs of the distemper in
the nations newsrooms. The
media, dutifully led around by
the nose by the deep state, gave
cover rather than coverage to
the Hunter Biden laptop and
the New York Post, one of the
few honest outlets left, was
deplatformed on social media
for breaking the accurate story.
Meanwhile, as Berliner
notes of NPR, major news media
wrongly and heavy-handedly
claimed the COVID lab leak
theory had been debunked
from the start. Not at all true.
Berliner further tried to get
NPR to stop falsely and repeatedly labeling the Florida parents rights bill the Dont Say
Gay Bill, which was its opponents nickname for it.
Berliner also writes of the
overbearing impact of NPRs
overriding racial diversity mission, which exploded
after George Floyds death. Yet
when he noted an alarming
lack of viewpoint diversity at
NPR 87 Democrats and zero
Republicans in the D.C. office
it was met with indifference.
He couldnt even manage to get
a meeting with the CEO to talk
about it.
Berliner calls the absence
of viewpoint diversity the
most damaging development at
NPR.
Weiss and Berliner are to
be lauded and appreciated for
acknowledging these hard
truths as they walk warily and
wistfully through the smoldering rubble of American journalism.
Yet sadly, they are but brethren unicorns.

FOR
I think after a while we
started covering Trump in
a way that, like a lot of legacy news organizations, that
we were trying to damage his
presidency, to find anything we
could to harm him.
The elusive wild goose of Russia
Berliner says NPR and other
news organizations found the
Russia collusion story now
proven to be a hoax whose trail
actually leads back to Trumps
political foes to be sort of
catnip, although it was just
rumors, and a lot of it based
on pretty shoddy documents or
evidence. It wasnt really solid,
but I think it was compelling.
NPR, he says, really latched
onto Democrat Rep. Adam
Schiff, a discredited leading
proponent of the hoax. He was
like our muse to the Trump
collusion story. We had him
on constantly. Ohh, I think I
counted 25 times.
And in most of those conversations, he sort of alluded
to evidence he may have had
or sort of teased out: Yeah,
[Trump] was colluding or the
campaign was colluding with
Russia. And then the Mueller
report came out and no collusion.
Thereupon came another
missed opportunity for any
introspective, truth-telling
news organization.
The Russia collusion story
kind of disappeared, Berliner
says, even as some news organizations took home Pulitzers
for the fake news and even
as the major media engaged
in precious little self-reflection,
much less self-recrimination.
To me, that was, like, a time
for like, What went wrong?
Why did we miss this? Like,
you know, despite our feelings
about Trump, this is a story
we should have sort of treated
differently.
Well, its nice to hear, anyway. But the damage to journalism has been done, and
its catastrophic and likely
irreversible. As the headline
notes, Heres How We Lost
Americas Trust.
And it goes way beyond just
NPR.
It is one thing to swing and
miss on a major story, Berliner
writes. Unfortunately, it happens. You follow the wrong
leads, you get misled by sources you trusted, youre emotionally invested in a narrative
[emphasis added], and bits of
circumstantial evidence never
add up. Its bad to blow a big
story.
Whats worse is to pretend

Hyatt Club met in March
Hyatt Club met March 26,
2024, 5:30 p.m. at the home of
Dorothy Miller. Her daughters
Angela and Nancy were her
co-hostesses.
They served us with a delicious pancake supper with
all the trimmings. Members
brought side dishes with fruit.
Roll call was "What toppings
do you like on your pancakes?"
We had a variety of answers
including, "cottage cheese,"
honey, fruit and the number
one was lots of butter and
syrup.
Hostess gifts were won
by Hilda Lankard and Linda
Miller, an Easter Lily for each.
Mystery gifts were won by
Terry Hastert, pound of butter.
Diane Hastert guessed a bottle
of pancake syrup.
Hilda received an Easter
bucket filled with goodies from
her secret pal and Linda Miller
received an Easter tea towel
from her secret pal.
Rose Marie Miller printed
up our new Hyatt Club social
books to help us keep organized
and we appreciate all the time
she puts into this. Note that
there is a page to remind you
who your secret pal is and her
birthday. If you have forgotten
please ask Becky she has the
master copy.
Our guest was Kelly, daughter of Terry Hastert.We always
enjoy our guests. Maybe someday she will join Hyatt Club.
We had a group picture taken
with 19 members. Our next

VIOLENCE…
FROM PAGE 1
intruders with active-shooter
drills and yearly Run, Hide,
Fight training, teachers said
they dont get instructions on
how to deal with fights on campus.
Katie Warren, president of
United Teachers of Wichita,
which represents about 4,000
school employees, said teachers particularly those in
large middle schools or high
schools often serve as
first responders. Most act on
instinct to protect students or
colleagues.
These things happen so
quickly, Warren said. Its
unfortunate when teachers are
put in a spot where they have
to intervene and could possibly
end up really injured.
Wichita schools use an
approach called restorative
practices to help students
resolve conflicts. District leaders also limit out-of-school
suspensions or expulsions,
and last year they tried to
scale back teachers ability to
remove disruptive students
from classrooms, arguing the
practice could run afoul of special-education guidelines.
Terri Moses, director of
safety services for the Wichita
school district, said the most
effective security measure in
schools is prevention.
If you start seeing that,
Hey, I can see that theres some
behavior over there thats concerning, lets intervene before
it turns into a fight, Moses
said.
If a fight does break out,
teachers respond differently
depending on their instincts
and abilities, Moses said.
She compared it to a motorist driving up to an accident: A
young mother with an infant in
the back seat might call 911 and
keep driving, while an off-duty
EMT might stop and render
aid. Similarly, a teacher could
step into a scuffle themselves
to try to break it up, or they
could use a radio or cell phone
to call for help.
Youve got options in terms
of how you handle those situations, Moses said, but youve
always got resources.
Clark, the former West High
staffer, said schools dont have
enough resources when it
comes to safety.
We just dont have enough
security officers in our schools,
especially high schools, he
said. And I dont know why
were not having an open and
honest dialogue about that. It
seems to be swept under the
rug.
Stan Reeser, president of the
Wichita Board of Education,
declined to comment on Clarks
case and said he doesnt have
the expertise to address more
general questions about on-thejob injuries. But he said board
members will always track
with compassion any issue of
employee safety.
The Wichita BOE was
determined to keep school
safety as a top priority in our
newest strategic plan, which
includes our students and definitely our staff as well, Reeser
said.

a time when the gas wars were
raging, and Vietnam was not
yet a distant memory. These
stories of thrift and creativity
can inspire families looking to
make prom a memorable event
without breaking the bank.
While prom tickets are
only $25 per ticket this year,
the larger ticket items leave
some families to turn to thriftier ways to send their students
to the dance in style without
breaking the bank. Local thrift
stores have long since been a
repository for the dresses of
yesteryear but have turned out
to be a solution to the need to
find a dress or suit that may
only be worn once. Others
turn to Facebook Marketplace
to pick a dress at a fraction
of the cost of a brand-new
one. Central Heights Junior
Brynleigh Morrow said, We
usually get them off Amazon
for cheap, closet cleanouts, and
dress donations from school,
but thrift stores also have
many cute options.
New formal dresses that cost
less than a hundred dollars are
a thing of the past, leaving families to look for other options,
including borrowing a dress
from previous years Prom
attendees to try to mitigate the
rising cost of Prom. We went
to an event at Stay Grounded
Cafe in Colony in February,
and they had a ton of dresses to choose from, including
shoes and jewelry. They had
the option to donate dresses,
too, so we took all my old homecoming and prom dresses there
the day before. I got my dress,
shoes, and earrings there. I also
arranged for my cousins to do
my makeup, hair, and nails
so that it will be much easier
and cheaper, said Anderson
County High School Junior
Sophia Jones.
In todays economy, a
prom-worthy up-do of female
hair can cost more than $150,
a proper manicure and pedicure can be more than $180,
and accessories and shoes can
amount to more than $200; it
is hard not to wish for the simpler times and prices of 1974.
Anderson County High School
Junior Emma Struttman says,
Im taking a pair of heels I
bought for a previous dance
and wearing those to prom, and
my jewelry options came from
my Moms jewelry box.
Tuxedo rentals range from
$90 – $200 depending on the style,
color, cut, and fabric choices.
Crest High School Junior Ryan
West said, I order the most
important parts online, like the
blazer and pants; we got the
shoes, vest, and shirt from a
proper store.
Appropriate
shoes to wear with the suits
are likely not in the masculine
wardrobe like they would have
been a half-century ago, leaving the suit-wearing student
the additional cost.
Live flower corsage and
boutonniere sets can range
from $65-$100, adding additional expenses to an already
strapped budget. These specific
costs paint a vivid picture of
families financial challenges
when preparing for prom. We
chose to do artificial flowers
for my corsage and his boutonniere, says Anderson County
High School Junior Alyssa
Scott, its just too expensive
for live ones.
Regardless of an individuals budgetary limitations, the
importance of the night is not
lost to history. Prom is quintessentially the first formal out-
ing for many members of the
Junior Class, like an organized
debut party en masse from the
Gilded Age. They will all gather together in the gymnasium
after their teenage complaints
of another picture request from
Mom, the stern look from Dad
about making sure theyre
quiet when they get home, and a
misty-eyed look over the shoulder as their parents leave the
building. Perhaps instead of
focusing on the overall impact
on the familys bottom line, we
should be proud to have some
of the best-dressed youths in
Anderson County dancing the
night away. Still, maybe theyll
leave the 1974 playlist at home
for others to reminisce about,
or perhaps they too will dance
to some Blue Swedes Cant
Fight this Feelin.
and was driving without a
valid drivers license. Local
law enforcement knew she had
been driving illegally but had
not taken action against her.
The tipster provided Zorn with
Newells full name, address,
drivers license number, and
date of birth which allowed
Zorn to affirm her license status via the Kansas Department
of Revenue website. This action
is legal under Section 2721 of
the Drivers Privacy Protection
Act.
Meyer, alarmed by the tip,

situation via email. Mayfield

Meyer and Zorn were trying
to prevent Newell from getting

her restaurant. The suit says
Cody then informed Newell
that an unnamed reporter at
the Record had stolen her
identity, according to the suit.
The police drafted affidavits
containing false statements to
establish probable cause for a
search of the Record and its
files, the lawsuit says.
Though tensions between
journalists and those in particular positions of power are
commonplace, rarely do they
rise to the level of the events in
Marion. Personal motives were
at the core of a feud that threatened to put a local Wisconsin
media outlet out of business
last year. Cory Tomczyk, who
is now a state senator, sued
the Wausau Pilot & Review for
defamation after his use of an
offensive slur was published
in the digital paper in August
of 2021. After the suit was dismissed in April of 2023 Tomczyk
appealed, also in August, and is
seeking financial remediation.
In its report of the incident,
the New York Times noted
the ease that Tomcyzyk and
other powerful figures have in
banning reporters from covering events, attacking them
on social media, [and] accusing them of being an enemy of
the people. These trends were
apparent in Marion. Wausau
Pilot & Review founder and editor Shereen Siewert told the
Times that since 2021, her publication had already incurred
nearly $150,000 in legal fees and
will likely incur more.

be even more energetic disruptors of such castes of power.

In a 137-page federal lawsuit seeking some $10 million
in damages filed earlier this

David Mayfield and city police
chief Gideon Cody used the
opportunity they thought was
provided by the alleged identity misrepresentation to vent
long-term animosity over the
newspapers coverage of city
government.
The suit maintains tension
between the city of Marion and
the Record sparked in April
of 2023 when a city councilman refused a request from
Meyer to comment on information that had been revealed
about Chief of Police candidate
Gideon Cody through several
unnamed sources. According
to the sources, Cody displayed
toxic/ego-centric
behaviors and unprofessionalism
in his previous position at the
Kansas City, Missouri Police
Department, where he bullied
officers, ran over a body at a
crime scene, and joked about
sexual assault, according to the
suit. He was demoted from captain to sergeant before being
hired by Mayor Mayfield.
Immediately upon taking
office, the lawsuit alleges Cody
began cracking down on the
Record and the sources that
had divulged his behaviors. He
and several Marion residents
including Mayfield expressed
open disdain for members of
the media. This culminated
in July when local restaurant
owner Kari Newell forced
Meyer and reporter Phyllis
Zorn from her establishment
during a meet-and-greet with
Congressman Jake LaTurner.
Cody assisted in their removal
from the property.
Soon after, on August
2, Zorn received a tip that
Newell had a prior DUI conviction and was driving without
a valid drivers license. Local
law enforcement knew she had
been driving illegally but had

Pictured are members of the Pieces & Patches Quilt Guild holding pillowcases they donated to CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). CASA is a national organization
that help abused or neglected children. The bags are given to the children to put their belongings in as they are being removed from a home.
Pieces & Patches Quilt Guild minutes for March
The Pieces and Patches Quilt
Guild was called to order by
President Connie Hatch on
Thursday, March 28, 2024, at
9:30 a.m. The meeting was held
at Kansas State Extension Office
Conference Room. There were
25 members in attendance. We
welcomed our guest speaker,
Jamie Needham, from CASA.
The Minutes of January 25,
2024 were approved as printed.
Helen Norman gave the treasurers report for March 28,
2024.
We elected to have our speaker, Jamie Needham from CASA,
give her presentation before
we conducted the rest of the
meeting. CASA stands for Court
Appointed Special Advocates
and is a national association
in the United States that supports and promotes court-appointed advocates for abused or
neglected children. CASA are
volunteers from the community who complete training that
has been provided by the state
or local CASA office. Jamie is
based in Franklin County but
they cover Anderson and Osage
Counties as well. She described
the need for pillowcases or bags
that the police give to children
who are being removed from a
home. Unbeknownst to Jamie,
we already knew they could use
pillowcases/bags and members
had sewn 65 to give her.
Committee Reports:
Programs: Program chair,
Jeannette Gadelman reported that she will be giving the
April program on Borders, for
the May program members are
asked to show their favorite
tools. June will be a social hour
of Tea & Cookies, bring a mug
rug or mat and your tea/coffee
cup. With preparations for the
fair using the conference room
in July that meeting is replaced
by a ShopHop to Oklahoma in
August.
Quilters Hugs quilts: Ruth
Theis has 2 quilts and would
like more.
Opportunity Quilt: Connie
Hatch has the 2025 quilt on the
frame at her home. It is 90%
complete. All that is left to do is
the border which only 2 people
at a time can work on. Lynda
Feuerborn provided us with
the name of the woman who
did all the applique and bead
work in our 2025 Opportunity
quilt: Hazel Josephine Briant,
Jo. She was Lyndas friend
Connies mother. Connie donated all of Jos fabrics and some of
her quilting tools to the guild.
The appliqued/beaded blocks
were part of that donation.
The 2024 Opportunity Quilt is
making its way around town
on display. Terrie suggested
that everyone take a look at the
embroidered label on the back
that was made by Connie.
Member Morale: Connie proposed that the Member Morale
committee take on the job of
sending out a welcome letter,
By-Laws, and Membership list
to new members. Terrie had
recently revised a Welcome
Letter, that Bonnie Deiter had
written when she was president, and sent it to our newest members along with the
By-Laws and Membership list.
Brenda Futrell, Member Morale
Chair, agreed to take that over.
Block of the Month: Mary
Parrott was not present to give
any updates, so just keep working on your own orphan blocks
to turn them into an 8 or 12
block.
Challenge: Bonnie Deiter
suggests we keep thinking of
how to use a doilie and ombre
(or gradated) fabric to make an
item of any size. The Challenges
are due at our November meeting.
Scholarship: Helen Norman
reported she received 13 total
applications from Anderson
County Jr/Sr High and Crest
High School. The committee
selected the scholarship winner to be presented on May
2. Shirley Allen reported she
received 9 Coffey County applications and the committee

Zone Awareness Week is April 15-19
stationary vehicle displaying
flashing lights, if it is safe to do
so, and to slow down. Citations
are a $195 fine plus court costs.
AAA has worked to support
and help establish Slow Down,
Move Over laws in all 50 states
to protect those at the roadside,
including emergency responders, construction crews, tow
truck operators and drivers
dealing with a disabled vehicle.
The national theme of this
years work zone safety recognition period is Work zones
are temporary. Actions behind
the wheel can last forever.
Wednesday, April 17 is being
recognized as Go Orange Day
in Kansas to show support to
highway workers and bring
awareness to work zone safety.
Work Zone Safety Tips for
Drivers
As state transportation agencies, local communities, and
construction contractors strive
to keep road users safe, drivers
should consider the following
actions* behind the wheel to
improve work zone safety for
all:
Reroute. Avoid traveling
through work zones, if possible. Otherwise, allow extra
time for possible delays and
travel safely.
Avoid
distractions.
Workers are focused on their
jobs in work zones; be vigilant
behind the wheel to safely travel through the work zone by
putting down your phone and
paying attention while driving.
Reduce speed. Follow speed
limits to make driving through
narrow lanes and lane shifts
easier and safer for you while
keeping workers safe.
Be aware of workers. The
work area is often very close to
travel lanes, so please be considerate: Take care and slow
down when you see workers.
Watch for pedestrians and bicyclists. Work zones often restrict
where non-motorized road
users can travel. In 2022, 145
persons on foot and bicyclists
lost their lives in work zone
crashes across the nation.
Give large vehicles space.
Narrow lanes, unexpected lane
shifts, and longer braking distances are challenges for large

vehicles. Allow extra space for
them to safely navigate work
zones. In 2022, 30% of fatal
work zone crashes involved
commercial motor vehicles
(CMVs), which include large
trucks and buses. Take care
around large construction
vehicles, which may be driving
at slower speeds to enter and
exit the work area.
Stay alert. Be prepared
for sudden stops. Work zones
may cause unexpected slowdowns. In 2022, 21% of all fatal
work zone crashes nationwide
involved rear-end collisions.

WICHITA As warm weather
returns, so too do the many
road construction zones on
our streets and highways, as
crews work to maintain and
repair roadways. April 15-19
is 2024 National Work Zone
Awareness Week (NWZAW),
and AAA Kansas joins with
transportation, construction
and traffic safety agencies at
the state and federalOrange
road construction barrels
level, to remind drivers to stay
focused and drive with caution
in road work zones.
This week — and really the
entire road construction season is a yearly reminder that
work zone safety for all road
users including motorists
and vulnerable road users such
as pedestrians, bicyclists, and
highway workers on foot is
extremely important, said
Shawn Steward, public affairs
manager for AAA Kansas.
Work zones and highway
workers are crucial to upgrading and maintaining our roadways.
Kansas Work Zone Facts
About 90% of the time, the
people injured in work zone
crashes are motorists. In 2023
in Kansas, nine people died
in work zone crashes and 508
people were injured, according
to the Kansas Department of
Transportation (KDOT).
The top contributing
circumstance of work zone
crashes is inattention. Others
include following too closely,
driving too fast for conditions,
improperly changing lanes and
violating the right of way.
There was an average of
four work zone crashes every
day in Kansas in 2023 (1,482
crashes), KDOT says. The good
news about 75% of the crashes were property damage only.
The bad news – every crash has
the possibility of affecting lives
forever.
Double fines in all Kansas
work zones, whether in major
construction projects or shortterm maintenance projects. If
you dont slow down, you will
pay up.
The Kansas Move Over
Law requires motorists on
four-lane highways to switch

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Beep-Beep, Garnett Fire, Anderson County
EMS, and Anderson County Sheriffs Office,
please be en route to. Its a familiar call to
any emergent services team member, but it
can sometimes seem like a disembodied voice.
Like the voice of Charlie from Charlies Angels,
that voice gives guidance, help, and hope to the
community, but when it comes time to thank
the Emergency Services providers for Anderson
County, theyre the most overlooked. During
National Public Safety Telecommunication
Week this coming week, a small group in the
Anderson County Sheriffs Office basement will
be recognized. Still, they are never seen at the
scene of an accident, fire, or medical call, even
though they are just as important.
The crew of nearly a dozen members is
that disembodied voice on the other end of the
line when someone calls for 911, but their role
extends far beyond that. More than 911 calls
come into the dispatching center, and it's not just
emergencies that they handle. The calls vary
from simply seeing a cow out of its fence, reporting a power outage, or asking the hours for the
courthouse to a potential stroke medical call, a
fully involved structure fire, or investigating an
altercation between spouses. It would be easy
to underestimate the activity in the basement
of the Sheriffs office in our placid community,
but that assumption would be incorrect. From
that small room with only a single window into
a basement lobby, a wide range of tasks are
managed, and a significant amount of help is
provided from those consoles. Through those
consoles and headsets, that team of disembodied
voices is there to help a community member on
their worst day ever.
In Anderson County, like many other agencies of a similar size, two dispatchers are poised
and ready to answer the three 911 phone lines
and the nearly half-dozen administrative lines
at any given moment of the day. The calls that
come into those lines represent some of the best
parts of the job, from successfully helping coach
a person through administering the Heimlich
Maneuver on their choking spouse to sending
all available firefighters to a structure fire in
the county, fielding phone calls of concern for
aging parents where Garnett Police can check
on their welfare, and answering questions about
registering a new vehicle that needs inspection.
The team rotates days, but the work, the education, and the voices always stay the same calm
pattern for every caller.
The responsibilities of a dispatcher are far
more than just answering the phone. They are
responsible for entering critical information in
the National Crime Information Center or NCIC
database. The national database for information
about stolen property, missing or wanted persons, and domestic violence protection orders
then makes the information available to other
agencies across the nation that could come into
contact with any of the individuals or properties
involved in their entries. The dispatcher team
fields requests for burn permits when not in a
burn ban, performs test pages for all emergency
personnel, and is responsible for the weekly
tornado siren test at noon on Mondays. Theyre
constantly tracking where the sheriffs deputies
are located, watching the weather for any changes from the National Weather Service, and monitoring the location of any of the four Anderson
County ambulances when they are not in their
station.
Dispatching from that little room often seems
like a pair of mother hens trying to keep track of
all their chicks when the members of Emergency
Services are out on calls. They are listening
to radio traffic across at least three different
frequencies, monitoring nearby counties for
requests of mutual aid, and keeping an ear tuned
for the Kansas Highway Patrol. In a world that
acknowledges the thin blue line and thin red
line in metaphor, theyre the line that facilitates not only the police and law enforcement
but also the firefighters and Emergency Medical
Services. The thin gold line in metaphor represents them, but they are the Anderson County
Dispatching team members.

Hunting By the Ocean

Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Ching! Ching! Ching! The
waves of the ocean were swishing and crashing on the beach.
Clear slimy crabs called Ghost
crabs were hiding under the
sand. It was so hot, sweat
dripped down my neck and
legs.
When we got to the hotel
it was 130 p.m. I hoped there
was an air conditioner and to
my relief there was. We were
relaxing for a while then we
put on our swimming clothes.
Then we went to the beach. We
swam for a long time and the
ocean was really cold.
The moon rose in the sky
and it was finally time. Time
to search for crabs. We got
out our flashlights and started
looking in the sand. We were
walking along the shore line
shining our lights in the sand.
We found one crab that was
walking on the sand. But it was
small so we let it go. Then we
found a huge crab the size of an
orange. I tried to catch it but it
got away. So I went closer to
the ocean. There were a lot of
them. I was running and used
my hands to catch the crabs. I
got most of them. Then I found
an enormous crab. I went over
to it and grabbed it barehand-

Review
Jesse Chupp Central Plains 4th Grade Mr. Yoder
It was a murky day, and Dad
pulled the dark plum purple
van up in between the two lines
that were fading through time.
Slowly, I opened my door, tired
from the long, exhausting card
ride. As we walked up to the
door, Dad jogged up to the door
and held it open for us. He quietly shut it as walked up to the
host stand. Once we were all
in through the door, the server
swerved around the stand, led
up to the back of the room and
ushered us towards a booth. I
slid in first, then my brother
slid in after me. Finally, dad
and sandy eased into he booth.
As we settled in, my parents
started talking about their old
peoples stuff, leaving me alone
with my thoughts. I had already
decided what I wanted to eat;

I set the rough menu down; I
extended my arm to get a sip
of my pink lemonade from the
cold Coca-Cola cup. As the ice
clashed together, I looked up to
annoy my brother, but he was
still deciding what to get. Bored,
I started messing with my fingers.
Suddenly, I slowly looked up
to see the flaky pepper in the
small metal container, sitting
next to the restaurants special
seasoning. When I saw it, I
thought it would be a great idea
to smell it. As I reached out, the
only thoughts going though my
mind were I bet this smells so
good! and theres got to be a
reason everyone likes this! so
I protracted, thinking really diligently about what I was about
to do. Nothing could go wrong,
right? I set it down in front of
me and swiftly moved my nose
up to it. As slowly as possible,
I inhaled, and I quickly realized
that it was not, in fact, a good
idea. I looked up at my parents
and burst into tears.
At the same time as I was bawling, the server stared, concerned for my health. Wesley
slid down from the booth and
stood up, staring at me. I stood
up, even though it was more of
a crouch in the situation I was
in, and my dad pulled me into
the bathroom, the door shutting behind us with a thud. He
pulled some scratchy paper towels and set them on the counter. He turned on the faucet, the
cold water dripping down the
sink. Once the water warmed
up, he plugged the sink, and it
immediately started filling up.
I looked at him, the salty tears
making my eyes burn. I trudged
up to the sink and dunked by
face under water. And from the
moment I walked back into the
restaurant, they never let me
live it down.

About a Mysterious Womans Life
By Danicka Moyer
5th grade Central Heights
Mrs. Riemer
Once upon a time there was
a woman who went to the store
and bought a bunch of meat.
Her name is Esmerelda. And
the cashier whose name was
Casandra. She was curious
about why she bought a bunch
of meat so she told the manager
she was going home and followed the woman home.
But when she got there
Esmerelda was already walking inside with the meat. But
Casandra snuck around back
but Esmerelda had a fence
around her house. So Casandra
snuck around front and saw
a window upstairs open and
went to get the ladder around
the side of the house that she
had seen. So she grabbed it
and put it by the window and
climbed it and went inside.
Cassandra was looking for
Esmerelda and didnt see her
in the attic or upstairs so she
went downstairs and saw the
basement door with a light on
down in the basement.
She saw Esmerelda chopping
up meat on a table in the corner of her eye, then Esmerelda
saw her and started walking
up the stairs. So Casandra hid
in the attic and hid behind old
shoe boxes. Thirty minutes
later Casandra saw a spider by
her face and she squealed and

went to the attic. She was looking around until an alarm went

off and she said Oh, its time
to go check in the meat in the
oven with a smile on her face.
So Esmerelda
went
back
downstairs to
the
kitchen
and checked
the meat so
Casandra followed her.
She
saw
Esmerelda
putting
seasoning on the
meat.
Then
Esmerelda
popped
the
other met in
the oven. After
that she start-
It was just a spider Casandra
said. Oh, okay, Esmerelda
said. What are you doing anyway? Oh nothing, I thought
you were acting suspicious
at the store so I followed you
home. I am so sorry Casandra
said. Esmerelda said Its okay
sweetheart. Im just trying to
help blind people.
Oh, okay. Do you need any
help? Casandra asked. You
can help me chop the meat up
and cook it. Okay I will do
it. Which one first though?
Thanks for helping me
Casandra. You are so sweet
Esmerelda said. My pleasure
after sneaking in your house
and stuff Casandra said.

ed heading back to the basement so Casandra followed
tiptoeing through the kitchen
as Esmerelda cracked the basement door and started cutting
up the other met and you hear a
thud on the table when she does
it. Esmerelda said they will love
this with a normal laugh and it
was loud. Casandra opened the
door a little when there was a
little crack. She said phew
because Esmerelda wasnt
there.
So she snuck down the stairs
and saw she was keeping dogs
and training them to help people who needed a service dog.
Esmerelda said Hi Casandra,
I thought I heard someone
squeal in the attic, are you ok?

Iola spoils AC girls 4-game winning streak, sweeps Bulldogs
GARNETT – The Anderson
County Lady Bulldogs struggled to find any offense in
the first game loss to Iola last
Tuesday and in the second
game Iola tallied a late rally to
earn a doubleheader sweep.
In game 1, Iola bounced on
the Bulldogs early with 3 runs
in the top of the first inning,
which AC answered in the bottom half with their only run of
the game on their way to a 5-1
loss.
B Hughes picked up both
hits for the Lady Bulldogs in
the first game. Hughes was 2
for 3 in the game.
Iola pitcher Clift pitched 7
innings, allowed just 2 hits and
struck out 14.
B Shafer started for AC but
only survived 2/3 of an inning
and was charged with 3 runs
allowed.
A Coyer pitched the final 6
1/3 innings, allowed just 2 runs
and struck out 9.
In game 2, the Lady Bulldogs
fell down early 6-0 but battled
back to take a 8-7 lead following
4 runs in the 4th inning and 3
runs in the fifth.
Iola responded with a 3-run
6th inning and shut down the
Bulldogs over the final two
innings to close out a 10-8 win.
B Kohlmeier, C Foltz, B
Kohlmeier and A Mills all
picked up 2 hits in the game.

Farm finances
Jackie Mundt, Pratt County
farmer and rancher
There was a line in one of
those corny comedy/action-adventure movies that made
me roll my eyes recently. A
character asked, Whats in
Kansas? in reference to them
being unable to understand
why a mutual friend moved to
Kansas. Thats not the line that
made me roll my eyes. I am
a transplant myself and know
from experience that Kansas
doesnt seem to be very exciting until you get to know what
makes it such a wonderful
place to live.
The line I am still thinking
about was the response, she
married a rich rancher. The
insinuation that the only thing
making Kansas attractive to a
highly affluent, college educated woman is lots of money,
makes me little concerned
about how many people think
all ranchers and farmers are
rich.
Since Tax Day is this week,
I thought it would be appropriate to dive into how much
money farmers make and why
people have so many misconceptions about the topic.
In my opinion, there are several culprits creating mystery
around farm income levels.
The first is non-farm people.
I find it humorous to watch
an outsider ask a farmer how
many acres or cows they have.
Some farmers see that as asking point-blank, Whats your
salary? The poor outsider is
probably just trying to show
interest and wouldnt have a
clue if 500 or 5,000 acres was
normal, let alone have any
insight on the value of a cow.
Farmers also contribute to
the problem. Growing up, my
parents had off-farm jobs, so
I never really thought about
if our dairy made money. In
college, I meet farm kids who
somewhat proudly talked about
getting Pell grants because
their parents had a low income
or at least had a low taxable
income. I never liked that attitude and was glad to meet other
farmers who were content to
pay taxes because that meant
their business was successful
and they were being productive
members of society.
Legislators and estate taxes
are also part of the misunderstanding. Farming is incredibly capital intensive; high land
and equipment prices make it
really difficult to get started if
you dont inherit family assets.
Politicians regularly point to a
lower threshold for estate taxes
as a way to tax the rich. The
reality for farmers and many
family businesses is that property and equipment quickly
add up to large figures.
Those dollar signs arent
the same as cash. They represent the tractor and field used
to plant a crop. Most family
farms would have to sell land
and equipment to pay estate
taxes if the threshold were lowered. Unless a farmer sells out,
they will never see the kind of
money in cash that makes people think they are rich.
Farmers deal with bigger
numbers than other people.
They may bring in $1 million
in a great year and $100,000 the
Lady Lancers lose pair to Southern Lyon County
COLONY – Last Tuesday,
Southern Lyon County traveled to Colony and swept the
Crest Lady Lancers.
In game 1, Southern Lyon
County jumped out to a 9-0
lead after two-innings behind a
6-run first en route to cruising
to a 14-4 victory.
Crest outhit their opponents
12 to 7 but committed 4 errors
helping Southern Lyon County
out.
Delaney Ramsey, Kaelin
Nilges, Aylee Beckman, and
Kaylee Allen all had 2 hits in
the game to pace the Lancers.
The second game of the doubleheader was a shootout as
Crest came up short 19-14.
Crest fell behind early.
They faced a 7-2 deficit after
the second inning which was
stretched to 16-2 heading into
the bottom of the fifth.
The Lancers rallied to score
5 in the 5th and 4 more in the
6th to cut the deficit to 16-11,
but each team would tally just
3 more runs over the final
innings to account for the final.
Despite losing, Crest once
again outhit their opponent
16-8 but Crest pitching helped
their opponents out with 15
walks in the game.
Breakin Jones, Ramsey and
Kinley Edgerton all had 3 hits
in the game. Jones and Ramsey
each drove in 3 runs to lead the
Lancers.

next before expenses. After
paying for seed, fertilizer,
machinery, fuel, rent and other
business costs, a farmer may
make six figures or lose money
for the year.
Farmers have tremendous
amounts of money invested in
equipment, inputs and land.
Their risk level is high; they
make many decisions without
knowing if the weather or market at harvest will cover the
costs theyve already incurred.
All farmers experience bad
years. Sometimes they event
put a farmer out of business.
The stress and uncertainty of
trying to keep the farm alive
for the next generation is often
cause of mental health issues.
Judging a farmers income
is complicated and difficult
because there are too many factors; rich or poor, materialistic
or humble, heavily leveraged
or paid in cash. My experience
is that farmers finances may
look different than the average
American, but we really arent
that different at all.

ACHS Bulldog baseball swept at home by Iola
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 04-16-2024 / Photo
Central Heights Viking junior Cody Hammond broke a 21 year old
school record in the 1600m and his own 800m school record at the
Lawrence Free State meet on 4/12/24.
GARNETT – The Anderson
County Bulldogs just couldnt
keep pace with the visiting Iola
Mustangs last Tuesday as they
were outscored in the doubleheader 16-4.
In game 1, Iola wasted little
time jumping out to an early 7-0
lead after 2 1/2 innings behind
a 4-run first inning.
Iola would cruise to an 11-4
win.
The Bulldogs did pound out
12 hits over 7 innings.
A Owen and B Wheat led the
way with 3 hits each. Owen
also had a pair of runs batted in
to pace the Bulldogs.
Game 2 started out as a
pitchers dual before Iola broke
loose with 4 runs in the top half
of the fifth to take a 5-0 lead,
which would prove to be the
final score.
The Bulldogs were limited
to just 4 hits, led by Owens two
hits in the game.
On the mound, AJ Schaffer
pitched 4 innings, allowed 3
hits, 2 earned runs and struck
out 6 as the games starter.

Viking runners continue to set school records
LAWRENCE – Connor Burkdoll,
Cody Hammond and Christian
McCord have been finding
success as runners at Central
Heights in so many ways these
past few years that its beginning to sound like a broken
record.
Its getting difficult to find
new ways to describe the indescribable, Central Heights
head coach Troy Prosser stated.
Ive had comments questioning why we take our 2A
kids from a school of 170 students to face the largest schools
in Kansas and their performances at the Lawrence Free
State meet yesterday should
put those questions to rest,
Prosser added.
Burkdoll started the day
off on fresh legs and chasing
Greg Careys 35 year old 3200
meter school record (9:45.30)
that hadnt been threatened by
many runners in that time.
From the first lap, Connor
set himself up perfectly and
ran a phenomenal race against
some elite runners, Prosser
said.
He was seeded 9th in the
race, closed in 66 seconds, finished 5th overall and set a new
Viking record of 9:41.45.
Earlier
in
the
day,
Hammonds 2A leading 800
meter time of 1:59.79 had been
soundly replaced by a 1:55.85 at
the Pre-State Classic in Wichita
so he was needing to push himself against a loaded field to get
himself back in the conversation.
Seeded 6th in the race,
Hammond battled from the
start and never let up.
Prosser said, When I looked
up at the timing clock with 100
meters left in the race and saw
1:42, I knew he was doing something special and was about to
break his own school record
and thats exactly what happened.
His previous school record of
1:56.29 was set at the State meet
in 2023 and his time of 1:55.11
in this race smashed that mark
and took back the top spot in 2A
which is also the #3 time in all
classes.
Another impressive sight
was to see his teammate,
McCord, storming through
the last 200 meters to take 13th
overall and set a new personal
record of 2:02.58.
His previous best was 2:05.98
just a few weeks ago and which
gives him the #5 time in class
2A.
To finish off the day,
Hammond took the track to
compete in his first outdoor
open 1600 meter run. From the
start, and being seeded 9th overall, the strategy was clear find
the front group of 4-5 runners
and follow the flow. Knowing
the school record held by Devon
Kueser (4:26.90) hadnt been
sniffed by more than 10 seconds
in most likely 21 years made
that a distant goal but also one
that someone as talented as
Cody had a chance to challenge
for.
He ran a great first two laps
then faded a bit in lap three.
However, Cody found another
gear the last 250 meters and
started picking runners off one
by one, was barely edged out
for 2nd by the top runner from
Lawrence Free State and took
down his second school record
of the day when he dipped
across the line at 4:26.86,
Prosser stated.
For Connor, Cody and
Christian, along with teammate
Owen Miller, they have broken
school records six times this
year in the 800m, 1600m, 3200m,
2 Mile and 4×1600 relay.
Consider that they are all
juniors and its exciting to see
what the future holds for them
and the rest of Central Heights
track & field, Prosser concluded.
Viking boys finish 2nd at Pleasanton Invite
PLEASANTON – Last Tuesday,
the Central Heights Vikings
continued to march through
the season, notching another
impressive day overall.
Nineteen personal records
and 7 season bests were set on
the day, setting themselves up
nicely as the season progresses.
Virtually everyone either
had their best day or very close
to it, head coach Troy Prosser
stated.
On the girls side, the Vikings
had solid performances across
the board.
The boys team had a solid
showing in the throws and on
the track leading to a 2nd place
finish overall as a team with 77
points.
Cody Hammond ran his first
400 in two years and entered
the top three in the 2A State
standings with his time.
