GARNETT An LSD-fueled argument over how to treat a blind dog
allegedly led to the shooting that left
an Ottawa woman on the ground at
the scene for a half an hour before
help arrived.
Joshua Michael Evans, 26 of
rural Greeley, was arraigned last
week on charges of felony aggravated battery and possession of a
firearm by a felon.
The probable cause affidavit compiled by officers and used to base

Garnetts gas price spike in Coldpocalypse might have been avoided exec tells Senate
BY PATRICK RICHARDSON
THE SENTINEL
TOPEKA Natural gas stoppages and
resulting skyrocketing spot market
prices that wrecked finances in various cities and towns across Kansas in
Feburary neednt have happened at
all, according to a gas company executive testifying before a Kansas Senate
committee earlier this month.
The bitter cold spell that gripped
much of the Midwest in mid-February
cost Garnett some $3.6 million in additional gas charges when spot market
prices skyrocketed more than depleting the gas budget for the remainder
of 2021. Stop-gap loan financing passed
by Kansas legislators and Governor
Laura Kelly allowed cities to borrow
that money while they attempt to
reach settlements with gas suppliers.
In Kansas Senate testimony recently Berexco, LLC, Chairman and
President Adam Beren told legislators
in many ways, the emergency neednt
have happened.
Berexco is a family-owned oil and
gas energy company headquartered in
Wichita.
There were several problems related to the weather, Beren said in testimony, and most of his companys
oil wells were shut down during the
polar blast to avoid spills and conserve electricity. However, most of the
natural gas wells continued to operate
except where electricity couldnt be
guaranteed.
The problem, according to Beren,
is that the utilities were not in close
contact with gas producers, and
because the utilities did not priori-
tize gas facilities for non-interruption,
many of those facilities were not able
to operate during the winter storm.
Beren says that despite natural gas
prices being at historic lows, many of
the plants that were ordered to come
online to take up the slack when arctic temperatures caused wind farms
to shut down did not have fixed-price
contracts and were forced to pay high
spot prices for natural gas causing
heavy losses.

Order will reduce
much of projects work,
costs and damages
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 4-20-2021 / DANE HICKS
With the mainstay of the Southern Star project
completed, workers have been busy on seven
ancillary projects relating to the main line installation, like this one near Scipio.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WASHINGTON, D.C. The
Southern Star Central Gas
Pipeline project that plowed the
local countryside through last
years pandemic and laid a new
and bigger gas line from Welda
to Ottawa wont have to dig up
and dispose of the old lines its
replacing, according to a ruling
from government regulators last
month.
That means a shortened project period and not as much good
news for local businesses that
sold goods and services to construction crews. But company
officials say there are upsides
for the local environment and for
nearby facilities and landowners.
The
Federal
Energy
Regulatory Commission in
March ruled in favor of an application by Southern Star to abandon the old 1940s-60s gas lines
where they lay, instead of being
required to extract them and dispose of the old materials as previously planned in the overall plan.
Removing the old pipeline was
the second part of the overall
project which is now mostly complete one that replaced two old
gas pipelines with a single larger
one running between Welda and
Ottawa. The project, tabbed initially at some $141 million, was a
boon to local economies through
2020, when crews continued
working on the installation even
though many private operations
were shut down due to the Covid
pandemic. Shortening the work
by leaving the old pipe in the
ground is expected to reduce the
flow of those dollars into those
communities significantly.
Southern Star filed the amendment to its original plan with
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission in October 2020.
Tyler McClure, spokesman for
Southern Star, said the change
was intended to avoid adverse
environmental impact and to
reduce possibilities of damaging
the newly installed line.
Our team determined leaving
the two lines in the ground would
reduce the overall footprint of
the project, McClure said, as
well as the potential for erosion
from ground disturbance, environmental impacts, potential
habitat impacts, and landowner
impacts.

the losses at Kepco and Midwest will

Moreover, Kansas was not short of
power. According to the Southwest
Power Pools website, excess generating capacity is more than sufficient
to meet peak loads even without wind

Kansas joins national drugged
driving awareness campaign
TOPEKA – Impaired driving is
reaching new highs literally
and figuratively. From April 16
– 20 (often known as 420 and popularized as a marijuana holiday), law enforcement agencies
will crack down on the growing
dangers of drugged driving and
arrest those who violate the law.
With many state laws now
legalizing recreational and medical marijuana use, including
states bordering Kansas, more
people are getting behind the
wheel in an impaired state.
However, it remains illegal to drive under the influence of drugs and alcohol in
all 50 states. This month, the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administrations
(NHTSA)
campaign, If you feel different,
you drive different. Drive high,
get a DUI, is designed to raise
awareness of the rising cases of
drugged driving.
According
to
NHTSA,
between 2009 and 2018, of those
drivers killed in crashes and
tested for marijuana, the presence of marijuana had nearly
doubled. In 2019, 18%, of crash
fatalities in Kansas involved
a driver testing positive for at
least one drug.
It's become an increasing
challenge to overcome the perception that its okay to drive
while high, stoned or wasted.
According to a 2016 Kansas poll
conducted by AAA, only 63%
of people consider driving after
using illegal drugs to be a very
serious threat to their safety.
No matter what you believe,
Kansans will see law enforcement agencies in full force on
April 16 – 20 pulling over drivers
that exhibit signs of impaired
driving due to drugs or alcohol, said KDOT Traffic Safety
Program Manager Chris Bortz.
This safety campaign is
funded by federal traffic safety
funds administered by KDOT.

Part 2 of the master
plan of evangelism
This is the second in a series
of four articles on the method
Jesus used to teach his disciples.
Parts of the article are taken from
the Master Plan of Evangelism
by Robert E. Coleman. The second method Jesus used to teach
his disciples was he won their
confidence and inspired their
faith. Many times Jesus would be
teaching the multitudes of people
and he would tell them a parable but not explain it in detail.
When the disciples ask him for
the meaning of the parable he
would explain the meaning of the
analogies used in the illustration.
A good example of this is the
parable of the sower. Jesus did
not explain the meaning of the
seed and the soil to the multitudes but went into detail with
the disciples. When he finished
he quoted Matthew 13:11 to them.
The knowledge of the secrets of
the kingdom of heaven have been
given to you but not to them. In
fact from judging from the length
of the text Jesus spent three times
the amount of time explaining
the story to the disciples than
he did in giving the initial lesson to the crowd. Repeating this
approach over and over soon he
began to build confidence into the
disciples. They began to see the
value Jesus placed on them and
began to feel empowered by him.
Jesus then tested them sending
them out with authority to drive
out evil spirits and to heal every
disease and sickness. (Matthew
10:1) Whether they succeeded
with their mission or encountered problems he provided them

with encouragement. Whether in
a storm on the sea, witnessing a
blind man receiving his sight or
seeing the dead raised class was
always in session.
To his inner circle Peter,
James and John, Jesus devoted even more time. They were
witnesses to the transfiguration,
seeing the divine nature of Jesus
revealed before their eyes. Jesus
realized that the success of his
teaching hinged on building a
solid faith base for his disciples.
He tells them in John 14, I am
going there, the Fathers house,
to prepare a place for you, I will
come back and take you to be
with me that you also may be
where I am. How Jesus must
have felt when he asked the disciples in Matthew 16, Who do
you say I am. Peter answered,
You are the Christ the Son of
the Living God. That is faith
inspired.

OPINION
Lies keeps getting black men killed
When is someone going to call out the liars
in the Black Lives Matter terrorist movement
and in the mainstream media who refuse to
acknowledge that criminal lifestyle and cultural
dysfunction leads so many young black men to
their deaths?
Jesus is quoted in the book of Matthew and
pretty much nails it that those who take up the
sword will die by it. Just ask the families and
friends of George Floyd or Duante Wright or
even 13 year-old Adam Toledo, the most recent
casket to be carried for the sake of maintaining
this tragic aversion to the truth.
All of those families know the truth, but they
wont speak it. If they dont know it, theyre just
flat out stupid. The numbers are there in every
annual gathering of crime statistics by the FBI
and by local and state law enforcement and
they go ignored.
This lie of omission is the same regardless
which new name is most recently tossed into the
hopper to churn out the newest cops-are-racist,
racism-is-the problem storyline.
Nobody ever says something like: He was
living the thug life, and thats what did him in,
or if hed just stayed clear of the drugs and the
thugs and put his focus on school instead of the
street, hed probably still be breathing.
Nobody ever says if his dad hadnt been a
thug himself, and if hed stayed around to raise
him and teach him right from wrong and how
to be a man and how to take care of the women
hes with and the children he fathers, he would
at least have had a better start.
Yet, what we have is George Floyd with
a criminal wrap sheet as long as your arm
posthumously sainted by the BLM movement
for dying under the knee of policeman Eric
Chauvin who once pulled a gun on a pregnant
woman while trying to rob her drug dealer
boyfriend. We have Daunte Wright, not even
old enough to buy a legal beer, with a warrant
out for his arrest related to an alleged attempted armed robbery in which he tried to steal a
female acquaintances rent money. He resists
arrest at a traffic stop when his warrant is discovered, and a cop mistakenly grabs her sidearm instead of a taser and kills him.
Just over the weekend comes the story of 13
year-old Adam Toledo, who for some ungodly
reason is firing a gun in a Chicago neighborhood at 3 a.m. with some other malcontents.
Cops show up, he of course runs to ditch the
gun hes carrying and spins toward the pursuing cop, apparently to surrender. Another dead
street kid.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Did George Floyd, Duante Wright or Adam
Toledo deserve the death sentence they got? No.
Did the life track they undertook and circumstances in which they put themselves open the
door for their fatal tragedies? Undoubtedly.
Yet the liars will not say so. There is too
much political hay to be made on the corpses of
these men too much power to be gained and too
much unpleasantness to be avoided. The truth
sometimes hurts.
Members of the media are perhaps the most
repugnant its supposed to be our job, after
all, to speak truth to power. In a CNN editorial, attorney and member of the USA Today
board of contributors Raul A. Reyes says There
has been a disproportionate focus on the circumstances surrounding the shooting, rather
than on the fact that a police officer killed an
unarmed child.
Yet in following coverage of the tearful vigils
and the protests of his death, I have seen not a
single reporter ask the boys mother why the
hell was your son out at 3 a.m. firing a weapon
in urban Chicago?
Those questions cant be broached. Such
inconvenient accountability would fracture
race-based political alliances and risk drying
up the cash cow Black Lives Matter is milking
to the extent recently revealed that one of its
Marxist founders is using donated funds to buy
high-end real estate in mostly white suburbs.
While black men fall by the scores to street
violence, the only names you know are the ones
that are the most sellable. They will keep falling
until the truth is said and heard.
A lie with a purpose is the worst kind, as they
say. And the most profitable. ###

There is no place in America for an anti-American political party that relies on electino fraud,
court packing, the theft of taxpayer dollars via
fake bills, Antifa and BLM terrorism, assault,
constant harassment, projection, deceit, cover-up, hypocrisy, slander, censorship, disinformation, Taliban-style historical revisionism, race baiting, gender baiting, class baiting,
illegal aliens, fake refugees, fake CNN town
halls, fake news, fake dossiers, fake prosecutions, and fake impeachments in an effort
to gain purely self-serving political power. If
the Democratic Party cant stop its treachery,
it must be abolished. Indeed, the Democratic
National Socialist Party has already crossed
way over the line; abolish it now. The Rat Party
has stolen our unalienable right to self-determination; therefore, more than likely, we will
soon be left with no other option but to abolish
Democratic Party tyranny on the battlefield.

Whos making all the money in the cattle business?
Country of Origin Labeling has peppered
ag news and consumer sites for many years.
The 2002 farm bill led the way for agricultural
product labeling in retail markets with the
country where a particular food came from to
the United States.
USDA rules were not completed until
January 2009, and were revised in May 2013.
The major change in 2013 was significant:
Meat processed from different countries on
the same day in a particular plant, could not
be comingled. This meant all meat was sorted
by country of origin, and was no longer labeled
with an either/or label. This rule change led to
a two-year spike in prices for cattle producers.
While COOL led to higher prices for cattlemen, grocery store prices remained relatively
stable.
When I reviewed USDA numbers of retail
prices for all 2013 cuts of beef, the price was
$5.29/lb. The National Farmers Organization
group I market my cattle through, sold our
heavy steers at $1.54 per pound at 675 lbs.
In 2014, when COOL was enacted, the retail
price increased to $5.97 per pound. That significant price rise came in at 11 percent. That
year, we sold our heavy steers for $1.94 per
COMMENTARY
BRUCE SCHULTZ, VICE-PRESIDENT NFO
pound, or 25 percent higher. In 2015, the retail
price for beef hit $6.29 per pound and we sold
heavy steers for $2.47 per pound.
Life seemed good for the feeder and rancher.
We made a profit and planned ranch projects.
One thing I know about farmers and ranchers
is, money does not stay in their pockets long.
In agriculture, we are always updating equipment, corrals or buildings. When ag producers
have money, they invest in their farms, which
helps not only the rural economy, but also the
national economy.
In December 2015, Congress passed a bill
that removed COOL from pork and beef. So,
what happened to retail beef prices? They
went down to $5.96 per pound, or about the
same level as the first year of COOL. What was
the impact on cattle producers? Here on my
farm, we sold our 675 pound steers for $1.40 per
pound, which totaled a loss of over 40 percent
of our income. But the retail price stayed just
under $6 per pound.
My question is, if the retail counter price is
stable, and it ranged between $5.91 and $6.04
per pound in 2017-2019, yet producer prices
hovered around $1.50 per pound for heavy
steers, who is making all the money? I know
everyone along the food chain needs to make a
profit, but why is such a small slice of the pie
going back to producers?
My point: COOL led to better prices for the
folks working with the animals. If you believe,
like me, that we should know where our meat
comes from and that producers should receive
their fair share of the pie, then call your U.S.
senators and representatives. Tell them to
re-enact COOL for both pork and beef.

Wokes disinformation trumps Russian trolls
Why do the Russians need to bother spreading disinformation when our own domestic
sources do a much better job at it?
We just went through a four-year national
obsession with Kremlin disinformation. It supposedly swayed the 2016 presidential election.
It was sowing divisions in American society. It accounted for the discovery of Hunter
Bidens laptop during the 2020 election.
Social media companies were excoriated
for allegedly letting Russian disinfo poison
their networks, and the American mind.
There was nothing that some Russian operators — spending a pittance — couldnt do.
The former Time magazine managing editor
and Obama state department official Richard
Stengel wrote a book called Information
Wars: How We Lost the Global Battle Against
Disinformation and What We Can Do About
It. According to Stengel, the Russians had
mounted an unprecedented attack against
the very foundation of our democracy.
The Russians were amateurs, though. If
they really knew what they were doing, theyd
spread rank lies about election reforms passed
by an American state, make the deceptions
so pervasive that the president of the United
States would casually repeat them, unjustifiably dredge up memories of a terrible period of
repression in America, relentlessly racialize
the debate, and intimidate corporate America
into thoughtlessly entering the partisan fight
and discrediting itself with a significant segment of the population.
No, Russian trolls operating somewhere in
St. Petersburg didnt undertake this highly
successful information operation against the
Georgia election law — Stacey Abrams and her
allies in media and politics did.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
If the Russians had the requisite skill,
theyd spread the false story that a talented
American governor had sold out his citizens
by letting a campaign contribution distort his
distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, suppressing all facts to the contrary and stoking yet
more conspiratorial thinking about the governor among his political opponents.
The Russians couldnt pull this off — yet 60
Minutes did, in a laughably dishonest report
about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis using the
most popular grocery store chain in the state
to get the vaccine in the arms of Floridians.
If the Russians were devious enough, theyd
take a god-awful mass shooting, ignore all of
the evidence about the perpetrators motives
to define it as a crime driven by racial hatred,
and undermine faith in the local police and
FBI when they presented the facts.
The Russians couldnt manage this, either
— but a veritable army of media commentators
and progressive politicians could. They insisted against the available evidence that the
Atlanta spa shooter must have been driven by
hatred of Asians, while Democratic senators
openly dissented from the FBI directors statement that the shooting wasnt a hate crime.
If the Russians had the power or know-how,
theyd spin a story of American law enforcement as a racist occupying force that should be
resisted in largely peaceful protests all over
the country, putting the cops on their back
foot and creating an environment of spiraling
disorder and violence in some of the most
iconic U.S. cities.
Of course, the Russians also had nothing
to do with this — Black Lives Matter and the
media did all of the hard work and have largely managed to ignore the rising tide of crime
that is undoing one of the signal America
domestic accomplishments of the past several
decades.
None of this is to dismiss the pernicious
influence of Russian information operations
and cyber strikes, especially overseas, or to
minimize the hideousness of the Putin regime.
But it is galling to see the same people who
sounded the klaxons about Russians undermining faith in the American system for years
themselves spread — or at least casually accept
— progressive narratives based on poisonous
lies about our own country.
The Russians are never going to stop running their information campaigns against the
West, which date back to the Soviet Union. But
they must occasionally be tempted to stand
back in envy and awe at all that the U.S. promoters of woke narratives have been able to
accomplish without them.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
I think thats a great idea. Maybe we should all
do one on the town square.
Seems like the school board and other politicians need to be replaced. They dont think
about everybody. They think about themselves.
I think since the city isnt having a city wide
cleanup people shouldnt be getting tickets for
having appliances and stuff in their yard. If
theyre like me they cant afford to go to the
dump. You cant go til youre off work and then
its closed, and it closes at noon on Saturday.
Im not a property owner so I didnt get one of
the coupons they mailed out. So Im (blanked) if
they catch me.
Ha ha. I hope the caller who loves masks so
much is better at wearing their mask than they
are at reading the paper. The article was about
mask mandate counties having no less infection
rates than counties that didnt have mandates.
It had nothing to do with whether masks work
or not. Now if you want to talk about masks,
take a puff of your cigarette and exhale with
your mask on. Still see smoke? Duh. Thank you.
Just wanted to address last weeks message
in the Phone Forum complaining about how
the Anderson County Historical Society spends
their free money. The free money theyre
speaking about is used to make updates in the
museum exhibits and take care of the buildings,
and there were no bids on the lawn mowing this
year because the gentleman mowing did a good
job last year and the board voted to have him
mow again this year. They are not required to
bid the work they have done at the museum.
Volunteers are just that volunteers. They do
not get paid for the work they do.

If the next generation is to
return to the farm and raise
their families in rural America,
then we need to let our voices be heard. Remember, you
know where your clothes are
made, where your fruits and
vegetables are grown and
where your toaster is made,
but our government asserts
through policy that pork and
beef are not important enough
to be labeled.
Right now, USDA allows
using the phrase, product of
the USA, for pork and beef. But
what does it really mean? It
means beef and pork carcasses
imported from any other country can be labeled as a product
of the USA, if those carcasses
from other countries are cut
into retail items here in the
U.S. for sale in grocery stores.
This labeling practice is
simple, and yet completely
deceptive. Millions of consumers visit their local retail meat
counters and, seeing the product of USA designation, draw
the honest, mistaken conclusion that the meat they are
buying is USA raised and fed.
That just doesnt sit right with
me, how about you?

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 4-20-2021 / KEVIN GAINES

Lady Bulldogs drop a pair to winless Iola
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
IOLA – Anderson County softball dropped to 3-3 with a doubleheader loss on the road to
Iola last Tuesday.
The early season struggles
continue for the Lady Bulldogs,
but there is still plenty of time
to turn things around. What
is even more surprising is that
Iola entered the doubleheader
with an 0-6 record and had been
outscored by an average of 7
runs per game.
Anderson County opened
the first game with a run in
the top of the first inning after
a leadoff walk by Mallory
Wheat, then a single by Kaylyn
Disbrow and then after a pop-
out, Rayna Jasper singled to
score the games first run.
But Iola quickly squashed
the momentum away from
the Bulldogs with a deflating
10-run first inning.
Starting pitcher Amelia
Cubit couldnt make it out of
the first inning, but the defense
didnt do her any favors.
Cubit opened the game by
allowing the first three runners
to reach base on 2 singles and a
walked batter.
With the bases loaded, Iola
hit a line drive to the shortstop
and Disbrow threw the ball to
home to get the lead runner and
keep the score at 1-0.
The ensuing hitter would
pop out to first baseman Cali
Foltz for the second out of the
inning.
Just when it appeared
Anderson County may escape
the bases loaded and no one
out threat, Iola finally broke
through with a run scoring single to tie the game at 1.
But five singles, a double,
a hit batter and an error later
and the Bulldogs quickly put
themselves in a 10-1 deficit they
couldnt get out of.
Pitcher Alison Brown would
get the final out of the inning
and scatter 8 hits over the next
4 innings before allowing a
run in the bottom of the fifth
inning to end the game due to
the 10-run mercy rule.
Disbrow and Jasper each fin-
ished the game with 2 hits as
the rest of the team combined
for just one hit.
The momentum continued
for Iola into the second game.
They tallied one run in the
first, 3 in the second, 2 in the
fourth and 2 in the fifth to take
an 8-0 lead.
Anderson County finally
scored twice in the sixth inning
but that would be it for the
night in an 8-2 loss.
Both teams tallied 10 hits but
5 Anderson County errors led
to 6 unearned runs charged to
Brown.
Otherwise Brown pitched 6
innings, struck out 4, walked
none and allowed 2 earned
runs.

Kobey
Miller
pitched
2 innings, allowed a hit and
struck out two, Trevor Church
pitched an inning and struck
out three batters and Ethan
Godderz pitched two innings

them earned.
The second game was a lopsided 16-2 win for Crest.
Four Lancers picked up two
hits in the game. Stetson Setter
led the way with a homerun,
scored three times and drove in
5 runs.
Holden Barker scored once
and drove in three runs on his
two hits and Trevor Church
drove in one and scored twice.

AC Bulldogs drops first
of the season, splits series
BY KEVIN GAINES THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
IOLA – Anderson County
Bulldogs baseball team won
their 7th game in a row to open
the season last Tuesday winning the opener over Iola on
the road but the streak came
to an end in the second game of
the doubleheader as Iola rallied
from a huge deficit to win.
ACHS won the opening
game of the afternoon 9-5.
The Bulldogs staked themselves to a 9-2 lead heading into
the final inning before Iola rallied for 3 runs.
Starting pitcher Derek
Rockers had Iola on the heels
throughout the game. Rockers
pitched 6 innings, allowed 4
hits, a pair of earned runs,
walked 2 and struck out 12 batters.
It was a power of display
offensively for the Bulldogs
as they clobbered three home
runs in the game.
Dallas Kueser, Rockers and
Ashton Miller all hit a home
run.
Bo Dilliner paced the offense
with 3 hits in 3 at bats, scored
twice and drove in a pair of
runs.
Miller picked up 2 hits,
scored twice and drove in a
pair of runs also.
The momentum continued
into game two for Anderson
County.
The Bulldogs jumped out to
an 8-1 lead after 2 innings
and appeared well on their
way to their 8th straight win to
open the season.
Iola had other plans though.
The home team rallied with 4
runs in the bottom of the third,
tacked on 2 more in the fourth
and then plated 6 runs in the
fifth to take a 13-8 lead.
There would be no late
inning heroics for the Bulldogs
as they would go on to lost the
game 13-9.
The offense continued to
play well despite the loss.
Braden Blaufuss, Dallas
Kueser and Preston Kueser all
picked up 2 hits in the second
game.
Kueser hit another home
run and drove in three runs.
Dilliner joined the power
surge, also hitting a home run.
Five different pitchers took
their turn against Iola. They
combined to allow 10 hits
over 6 innings, 11 earned runs
allowed and walked 10 batters.
Lady Vikings swept at home
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – The Central
Heights Lady Vikings were riding a four game winning streak
as they hosted Osage City last
Tuesday, but unfortunately the
visitors had the upper hand
in two lopsided losses for the
Vikings.
In the opener, Osage City
took a quick 4-0 lead after their
half of the first inning. The
Vikings responded with single
runs in both the 1st and 4th
innings to cut the deficit in
half, 4-2.
But Osage City would
answer with 4 in the top of the
fifth and 2 more in the 6th to
account for the 10-2 final.
Taylor Chrisjohn is the only
player with multiple hits, getting 2 hit in 3 at bats and driving in both runs.
Mieka Crump took the loss
on the mound, allowing 15 hits
in 6 innings and 10 earned
runs.
Things went even worse
in the second game for the
Vikings.
Osage scored 7 in the second, 3 in the third and 7 more
in the fifth to win handily, 17-3.
Lady Vikings earn road
split against Lyndon
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
LYNDON – The defense let
down the Central Heights Lady
Vikings in a gut wrenching 9-8
loss in the opener as Lyndon
scored the final three runs for
a walk off 9-8 victory. The second part of the doublehead was
dominated by the Vikings 19-9.
Lyndon jumped out to a 6-0
lead after scoring 3 runs in
both the 1st and 2nd innings.
The Vikings fought back
and scored 3 in the third, single runs in both the fourth and
fifth to cut the deficit to 6-5.
The Lady Vikings tallied
3 runs in the top of the 6th,
helped with 6 walks by Lyndon
pitchers in the inning.
After the Vikings rallied to
take an 8-6 lead, Lyndon rallied to tie it up at 8 each heading into the seventh thanks in
large part to a two out error
that led to the game tying run.
Another error in the bottom
of the seventh on a flyball with
two outs led to the game winning run to cross the plate for
Lyndon as they won 9-8.
The two teams combined for
17 runs on 15 hits and 13 errors.
Mieka Crump and Cameron
Peel each had 2 hits for the
Vikings.
Axel Roberts hit a bases-loaded double in the sixth,
as all 3 runners scored to give
the Vikings a 8-6 lead at the
time. Roberts also reached
base three other times, all via
hit by pitch.
Central Heights rebounded
nicely in the second game of
the doubleheader which was
highlighted by three innings of
5 or more runs in a 19-9 win.
The Vikings scored 6 runs
in both the third and seventh
innings and 5 more runs in the
fifth.
Peel picked up 4 hits in 4 at
bats, scored 4 runs and drove
in three to lead the Vikings.
Bailey Brockus had 3 hits in
5 at bats and drove in 4 runs as
well.
Taylor Chrisjohn also had 3
hits in 5 at bats and drove in a
game high 5 runs and scored 4
times.

without wind and more than
90,000 MW with wind generation. The summer peak load
was 50,662 MW as of Aug. 19,
2019, and the highest winter
peak load (prior to 2021, was
Jan. 17, 2018, at 43,584 MW. The
demand at the peak of the winter storm was only marginally
higher at 43,661 MW on Feb.
15, 2021.
Really the demand was not
too terribly higher than another peak period that we had had
before, Beren said in the hearing. So yeah, there was some
more demand, but it wasnt
beyond peaks weve had in the
past.
Beren says the Southwest
Power Pool has excess capacity
and in Kansas, we have a lot of
excess capacity.
You know, so youre
scratching your head, where
was that energy when we needed it?.
So yeah, what happened
in the vortex the wind didnt
blow, as we all know, the wind
blades froze, he continued.
So there was no wind energy,
the gas and coal plants sort of
ramped up to save the day.
I think what happened
because this isnt information
thats publicly available, those
gas and coal plants because
they are deprioritized, in the
whole Southwest Power Pool,
they probably didnt have their
fixed-price contracts in place.
So they were scrambling when
the Southwest Power Pool
asked them to ramp up.
Beren told legislators that
because those base-load power
plants were not considered a
priority, somewhere between
$250 and $300 million in extra
costs will be passed on to consumers primarily because
those power plants didnt have
gas contracts in place.
Beren noted his company
operates an ethanol plant in
Nebraska that has a 25-year,
fixed-price gas contract that
was implemented when gas
prices were at historic lows.
Because the Southwest
Power Pool doesnt prioritize
those baseload plants, he said.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, April 20, 2021
I really just think this was a
situation where they just got
caught, you know, with a oncein-a-lifetime thing. They didnt
expect theyd have to be paying
$200 to $300 (per gas unit) when
they needed to run.
So yeah, I think maybe the
Southwest Power Pool is a little
bit to blame in all this as well.
Moreover, he said, there
was a problem delivering gas
to some of the natural gas-fired
generating plants.
So I think what happened
was, and Ive heard this from
some people in the industry,
we didnt have electricity to
run our plants, because they
werent sort of prioritized in
the emergency kind of hierarchy of what needed to run,
Beren said. I think that exacerbated the problem, as well
so you had gas pipelines that
didnt have their compressor
stations operating, you had gas
plants that werent running.
So it all just kind of became
something that could have
been avoided.
Interestingly, against the
backdrop of the inability of
wind farms to operate in severe
cold, cities like Lawrence are
fighting legislation to prevent
them from outlawing the use of
natural gas.

Legislative Update by State Senator Caryn Tyson
Protecting Elections
Every vote is important.
Voting is the most precious
right of every citizen, and we
have a moral obligation to
ensure the integrity of our voting process. Hilary Clinton. So
why are so many Democrats in
Kansas trying to block legislation to protect our elections?
Even worse, the U.S. House
passed legislation that will
destroy the integrity of our state
elections (H.R.1, For the People
Act of 2021). Hopefully, HR-1
dies in the U.S. Senate. The
Kansas legislature passed HCR
5015 rejecting H.R.1 and S.1 (the
senate version of H.R.1).
Kansas didnt have the problems that other states had in
the November 2020 elections but
there is room for improvement.
Elections are too important and
we need 100% accuracy. The
legislature passed Conference
Committee Report (CCR) 2183
and CCR 2332.
CCR 2183 will limit ballot
harvesting, make it unlawful
to alter postmarks on mailed
ballots, and require signature
verification on mailed ballots.
It would also make it a crime
to act like or try to appear to
be a county clerk or Secretary
Of State (SOS). In November
2020, there were advance ballot
applications and websites that
appeared to be official. They
were not and just confused voters. The bill would also require
the SOS to post registered voter
data and stop county clerks
from accepting money from 3rd
parties for elections an example would be the Zuckerberg
money that some clerks applied
for and received in Kansas. The
CCR passed the Senate 27 to 11.
The legislature also passed
CCR 2332 that would require residential and mailing addresses
to be maintained and strengthen requirements for advance
ballot applications, including
signature verification. The
CCR passed 27 to 11.
I was able to strengthen election legislation with amendments through the chairman in
committee and on the senate
floor. Some Senators argued
these CCRs and the HCR promote voter suppression and that
they are not needed. That is
not even true. They help protect the integrity of our elec-
tions. To paraphrase a friend,
What voter integrity checks
would they ever support? When
will they opine that banks dont
need safeguards since bank robbery is so rare?
Hopefully, the Governor will
not veto these important bills.
Womens Sports
CCR 55, the Fairness in
Womens Sports Act, would stop
anyone who is not a biological
female from participating in
sports designated for females,
women, or girls. The CCR
passed the House and Senate.
I was one of 26 who voted yes
in the Senate. There were 11
no votes. Well see what the
Governor does with the bill.
Legislature Break
While the legislature is on
break for the next few weeks, I
will continue to update you on
topics covered during session.
All of the legislation is posted
online at www.kslegislature.
org.
It is an honor and a privilege
to serve as your 12th District
State Senator.

Your RIGHT to know.
City of Garnett – 2021 first
quarter city treasurers report
(Published in The Anderson County Review, Tuesday, April 20, 2021)
Get rid of unused medications Sat. April 24
TOPEKA (April 19, 2021) Law
enforcement officers at locations across the state will be
collecting unused medications
for safe disposal on Saturday,
April 24, Kansas Attorney
General Derek Schmidt said
today.
The collection events are
part of a nationwide effort to
safely dispose of leftover medications to prevent accidental
or intentional misuse. Since
the Drug Take-Back Day program began in 2010, more than
101 tons of unwanted medications have been collected and
destroyed in Kansas alone.
Medications will be
accepted at drop-off sites across
the state from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
next Saturday. To find a location, visit www.ag.ks.gov and
look for the Drug Take Back
Day button under the Quick
Links heading. If there isnt
a nearby location listed, please
check back as there are additional locations added until the
day of the event.
The National Drug TakeBack Day is coordinated by
the federal Drug Enforcement
Administration, which collects
and safely destroys the medications.
Medicines that languish in
home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse
and abuse. Nationwide, the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) estimates opioid overdoses kill
nearly 130 Americans every
day. According to the Kansas
Department of Health and
Environment, pharmaceutical
opioids are a leading cause
of drug poisoning deaths in
Kansas.
Studies show a majority
of abused prescription drugs
are obtained from family and
friends, including from the
home medicine cabinet. In
addition, Americans are now
advised that traditional methods for disposing of unused
medicines flushing them
down the toilet or throwing
them in the trash pose potential safety and health hazards
and should be avoided.
Unused prescriptions can be
turned in year-round at many
local law enforcement locations. Kansans should contact
their local sheriffs office or
police department for more
information.

Brant McGhee gave the
Communion Meditation over
the Holy Spirit. For 40 days
after the death and resurrection, Jesus walked on the earth,
and over 500 people saw him.
Once he ascended into Heaven,
the disciples were filled with the
Holy Spirit and went out into
the world to spread the Good
News. So, what does the Holy
Spirit do for us? The Holy Spirit
gives us power; it is the same
Spirit and power today as it was
when it first came upon the disciples. It is how God shows us
love, helps us to pray, reminds
us of what Christ said, convicts
us and helps us to obey God's
word, helps us to kill sin in our
lives, sanctifies us, changes us
and makes us more like him,
gives us self-control, fills is with
hope, gives us spiritual gifts,
etc. It keeps the yearning within
us to learn more about God.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave the
sermon titled "What now?" over
Matthew 28:10-20. What do we do
in response to the risen Christ?
Before the cross, Jesus told the
disciples that they would desert
him, and specifically that Peter
would deny him three times.
After the resurrection, they
would respond a lot differently.
They were bold! He told them
to "Go!", and they went. And
we are all told not to hold on
to sin, but to repent and turn
to God; to believe, obey, and
spread the good news. We can't
allow ourselves to be pulled into
deception and from keeping us
from spreading the good news.
Luke 4:8 tells us to worship
God and serve only him, but
what is worship? It's not just
the singing during church, but
is any act that moves you closer and deeper with God. It's a
loyal commitment, a love spread
outwardly in many ways and
can include: praying, singing,
bowing down, fasting, tithing,
sacrifice, obedience, etc. We are
in a spiritual battle, so we need
to fight in the Spirit, worship
in truth, and don't sugarcoat
the truth or be negative. (Ref:
Matthew 27:62-66 & 28:1-20; Mark
14:27-31; Acts 3:19 & 7:11-12; Luke

The primary purpose
of the Garnett Community
Foundation, which was
formed in 2011, is to allow
those who wish to make
donations to help improve
community amenities and
assets to do so in a way to
receive tax deductible donation status, Mersman said.
Donors can choose a specific project or facility which
their contribution is to benefit. Mersman said the lead
project of the foundation was
what is now the Goppert
Wellness Center in the former Kansas National Guard
Armory.
Mersman thanked the
clubs current membership,
past high school golfers, and
local businesses who have
recently pledged support for
the campaign.
Its really exciting to see
our local community understands the significance of the
golf course for Garnett and
Anderson County. Golf is one
amenity that draws many
visitors and local patrons to
North Lake Park. Garnett
Country Club is used for
Anderson County Jr/Sr. High
School golf and cross-country programs. Additionally,
many fundraiser golf tournaments are held each year
by local organizations to support area scholarships and
programs.

April 27 to schedule a preliminary hearing in the case.
Williams, Jennings and
Hopkins were involved in a
bizarre lovers triangle involving a sex video shot by Jennings
and Hopkins one which they
apparently used to antagonize
Williams, with whom Jennings
had a previous relationship, by
sending him a copy of the tape
in late July 2020. Days later,
Jennings allegedly conspired
with Williams to ambush
Hopkins when Hopkins entered
Jennings bedroom at her home
in Garnett.
Hopkins turned up at
Anderson County Hospital
slashed, stabbed and bleeding
from a number of wounds after
the incident. The wounds were
not life threatening. Jennings
and Williams were both initially arrested and charged in the
incident.
Court documents showed
Jennings, who at the time of
the July incident listed her
occupation on her Facebook
page as a self-employed soul
healer and exorcist, was out
on bond from a previous June
10, 2020, domestic abuse case.
A condition of the bond in that
case was that she not have contact with the victim in the case,
who was Maxwell Williams.
A preliminary hearing is
an initial review of evidence
designed to ascertain whether enough evidence exists in a
case to warrant a trial.

Building Communities
Jackie Mundt, Pratt County
farmer and rancher
I often joke about the fact
that I love to judge people just
like on American Idol. Except
I am not qualified to judge
musicians my forte is public speaking. I love judging
4-H model meetings, FFA discussion meets and any other
speaking contests. I enjoy sharing my life-tested knowledge in
hopes of helping participants
improve their skills for the
future.
As much as I enjoy judging
contests, it is a behavior I am
constantly working to avoid in
real life. Both my religion and
my character remind me it is
not my place to judge others.
I rarely know all the details
of a situation or the history
that has shaped the people
involved. More importantly, it
is likely not any of my business, and I should just try to
worry about judging my own
actions and using my criticism
to make myself a better person.
I am not perfect though.
Lately there is one behavior
that that turns my head and
sends me into a judgmental
spiral every time passive
selfishness. I am not talking
about outright, obvious selfishness most of us see clearly and
condemn.
I see passive selfishness as
what happens when we let ourselves believe we as individuals do not have an obligation to
the needs of our communities
and our own desires are more
important than what society
needs.
For example, I can become
irrationally infuriated if
someone needs a reason to do
something good, like donating
blood. I cant understand how a
person doesnt have guilt over
the choice that could potentially save a life.
Community involvement
might be the hardest-hit victim
of passive selfishness. I remember a friend in college asking
me why I would give up my
nights and weekends for volunteer work or activities benefiting the college.
At the time, I was taken
aback because growing up in
a small farming town, I had
been surrounded by community-oriented people my whole
life. Since then, I have seen
so many examples of people
who want to live in thriving
communities but wont serve
on boards or volunteer to help
with events and others who
complain about politicians on
social media but dont show up
to town halls, vote or even run
in opposition.
When we are willing to sacrifice
our own comforts or desires,
our communities are impacted in lasting ways. Sometimes
it takes a small inconvenience
like a needle prick and giving
up an hour out of the 1,344
hours every eight weeks to
save someones parent, sibling
or child by donating blood.
Other times its saying goodbye
to the sweet dreams of sleeping
in on Saturday to judge a 4-H
speaking contest that encourages young people to grow
their leadership and communication skills.
Raising your hand to serve
your community often means
giving up time that you could
be spending on your priorities
to do work that will benefit others. That time isnt wasted it
allows you to set an example of
what it takes to make the world
better and will often give you
more satisfaction than accomplishing something that only
benefits a single person.
It might seem like being
selfish is the easy way, but
Im comforted by the knowledge that when you give, you
receive so much more than you
could ever imagine. I know
were all guilty of the occasional personal indulgence, but its
always good to reflect and really ask yourself if you could be
doing more. The only way our
communities grow stronger is
if people make the choice to put
them first. We can make excuses, or we can make our communities better. I hope everyone
can experience the benefits and
rewards of making them better.

stress, and to help you feel a bit more in
control during this crazy-chaotic time.
1. Take Action
Action is the antidote to fear and
anxiety, so the best thing you can do
right now is get organized and strategic. Prioritize your to-do list and start
tackling the most mission critical tasks
one by one. (Our wedding checklists are
a great place to start!) Enlist the help
of your fianc or wedding planner, and
share responsibilities so you don't get
too overwhelmed. Breaking down your
long task list into actionable baby steps
will turn this mountain into a more
achievable molehill.
2. Practice Gratitude
Yes, its unfortunate having to adjust
your wedding plans. But it really helps
to keep things in perspective. The silver lining to things being so out of our
control right now is that it forces us to
dig deeper than surface level. We recommended crafting your own version
of our wedding planning gratitude list.
Because just think: At the end of the day,
you'll still get to marry your best friend.
Even though it may look a bit different,
you'll still have a fabulous celebration.
And you'll have a heck of a story to tell
your grandkids!
3. Keep Communication Open
Weddings are full of sticky topics.
From family dynamics and finances to
whos invited, awkward conversations
abound. Our advice is open communication from the startand to tackle

issues head-on. For
example, shortly
after your engagement we recommend having an
honest chat with
your fianc about

4 fun car-related activities to do with kids this spring
(BPT) – Got kids who love cars?
Whether your child (or your student) is a
preschooler, a teenager or somewhere in
between, here are some creative ways to
keep kids happily engaged at home while
theyre dreaming about cars. These activities are appropriate for any age to help
nurture and inspire a fascination with
cars.
1. Take a virtual field trip
to a car factory
For kids who are curious about how
cars are actually made, you can virtually visit one of nine U.S. manufacturing
plants and automotive experience centers
at TourToyota.com. You and your child
will be able to see how the many people and robots – work together to make each
vehicle in a behind-the-scenes look at
manufacturing plants around the country. Each tour is a little different, so its
worth checking them all out to find your
favorite.
If your kid is interested in learning
about the vehicles of the future and
robotics, you can watch a video to learn
about the latest cutting-edge research
on artificial intelligence and automated
vehicles at TeenDrive365inschool.com/
CarsOfTheFuture.
2. Read or listen to stories about cars
For younger children, you can read
along with YouTube videos featuring popular childrens books about cars, such
as If I Built a Car by Chris van Dusen
and Going Places by Peter and Paul
Reynolds.
Or for older kids and teens, you can
listen to podcasts about cars on the series
CarStories, such as How to Design Cars,
a discussion with real-life car designers
about how they first began their lifelong
love of everything automotive – by drawing cars when they were young kids.
3. Watch a video about
automotive design
Check out the short video Making the
Origami-Inspired Lexus for a mind-blowing look at how a couple of designers used
cutting-edge technology to create a complex, detailed replica sculpture of a Lexus
IS car – thats actually drivable by real
humans! – out of corrugated cardboard,
complete with wheels, seats, headlights
and more.
Also, see an automotive designer from
Toyotas CALTY Design Research team
demonstrate how he sketched out an idea
for what became the 2021 redesign of the
Toyota Sienna minivan.
4. Draw your dream car
First, let your imagination go wild.
What would your dream car look like?
Would it fly or swim? Does it look like a
train or an animal? Dream of the coolest
car you can come up with (for inspiration,
visit ToyotaDreamCarUSA.com). Then
follow these steps:
Gather materials. To start, youll need
paper, pencil and an eraser.
Decide the shape. Sketch lightly,
focusing on the overall shape. Draw your
car at a slight angle to show both the front
and the side. This is called three-quarter
perspective.
Fill in details. Draw the parts your car
needs. For example, will it have wheels, or
will it move differently? Use darker lines
or add color to highlight each part of your
car.
Refine and complete. Retrace shapes
and angles of your car as needed. Erase
light lines and strengthen the most
important outlines. Shade with your pencil to give the car depth and perspective.
Congratulations! Youve drawn a car!
Now that you know the basics, its
time to practice and add a little imagination – and maybe win a prize. The Toyota
Dream Car USA Art Contest encourages kids ages 4-15 to draw their ideas of
the future of transportation. Flying cars,
underground passages, space exploration
or magnificent beasts: no idea is off limits.
After doing these activities with
your kids, visit the Education Hub at
TourToyota.com for more fun things to do
together at home. As your children grow
and develop, their abilities to design and
create more complex dream cars are
bound to keep growing with them. Once
they get started, who knows where their
roads may take them?

Spring awakening: 5 expert tips to renew your lawn
(BPT) – As a homeowner, now is the
perfect time to start thinking about lawn
care again. Spring is your first – and
best – opportunity to get your outdoor
living space in top shape for the warmer
months ahead. And depending on where
you live in the U.S., that window begins
whenever the soil starts warming.
To help you get ready for a healthy,
lush green lawn this spring, TruGreen,
Americas #1 lawn care company, shares
five things you should do.
1) Start with a spring cleanup: Spring
cleaning isnt just for the inside of your
home. Your lawn has collected fallen
leaves, sticks and other debris over the
winter months. Leaving behind this
plant matter can smother the growth of
your lawn and leave behind unsightly
dead patches on the turf. A cleanup will
give your lawn room to breathe, so it
can take in water and sunshine, as well
as any fertilizer or weed control treatments.
2) Clean up the mower: Spring is also
time to dust off the lawn mower, fill it
with fresh fuel and get your first mow.
The first mowing of the season removes
dead blades of grass and encourages the
lawn to start waking from its winter
slumber.
3) Get a step ahead of weed growth:
The return of crabgrass is not something to look forward to, however, the
good news is, you can get these and
other unsightly weeds under control by
applying a treatment before they start
popping up around your lawn. But keep
in mind, its important to get the timing
just right.
Timing is critical when it comes
to applying preventative weed treatments, says Brian Feldman, TruGreens
Director of Technical Operations North. Treatment should be applied
under very specific soil and temperature
conditions. Otherwise, it wont work and
youll end up wasting both product and
effort.
To take the guesswork out of weed
control, consulting with a lawn care professional – such as TruGreen – can bring
you peace of mind and deliver desired
results.
4) Nourish your lawn: Spring presents
yet another important window of opportunity to achieve a thick, healthy lawn.
After being dormant all winter, it will
need a dose of food to help it spring back
to life and start growing.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 4-20-2021 / Brandpoint Content
Timing is critical to get your lawn looking great.
Because by summer, your turf will
be facing many stresses – heat, drought,
insects and disease. A light application
of fertilizer can help your lawn take full
advantage of spring growth and have it
at its best. Dont forget your trees and
shrubs, too! The amount of fertilizer
needed varies with the age and where
your trees and shrubs are located, so
contact a professional for expert treatment.
5) Set a simple watering schedule:
Regular rainfall is optimal for healthy
grass. But when the sun is beating down
and its been more than a week since
the last rainfall, youll need to supplement the lack of rain with a sprinkler.
Luckily, you can keep it simple as most
lawns will thrive and grow with one inch
of water per week. To keep track, set a
few empty tuna cans around the lawn.
When they get full – indicating an inch
of water – you can move the sprinkler
to a different section. Trees and shrubs
also need some watering TLC; keep them
hydrated also, particularly when temperatures start to spike.
Its important to remember that every
state and region has unique grass and
plant types that present their own needs
and challenges. Yet, a thick, green lawn
you will feel proud of is closer than you
think. Call your local lawn professional and theyll create a plan thats tai-
lor-made for your outdoor living space
to get it into great shape this spring.

5 easy ways to extend your living space outdoors this spring
(BPT) – Many of us cant wait to return
outdoors after being cooped up inside,
and with warmer weather upon us, it is
the perfect time to make our backyards
an extension of our indoor living spaces.
This backyarding trend is really taking
off with families using their yards for
everything from outdoor kitchens and
dining rooms, to places to safely engage
in sports and entertainment. According to
the TurfMutt Foundation, home improvements – many of them in the backyard
– skyrocketed in 2020. So did the demand
for outdoor power equipment as homeowners invested in making their outdoor
spaces fabulous, functional and fun.
April is National Lawn Care Month and
if youre looking for inspiration for that
outdoor project, Sara Bendrick, licensed
landscape contractor, author, TV personality and STIHL spokesperson offers 5
ways to extend your outdoor living space
this spring.
1. Clean Up Your Outdoor Space
Spring is the perfect time to clean up
your outdoor space by removing debris
left behind from fall and winter weather.
Clear out gutters, prune dead branches,
pull weeds, blow off patios, and pressure
wash outdoor walkways, drives, furniture
and sheds. Taking care of this spring to
do list can freshen up your space and help
create a more inviting area for your family to relax and boost your homes curb
appeal.
2. Grow A Lush Lawn
The key to a healthy lawn starts with
healthy soil and making sure it has the
nutrients it needs. Depending on where
you live in the U.S. and the species of
grass, typically the best time to fertilize is
between late spring to early summer when
grass is growing the fastest. Remember
when using fertilizer that less fertilizer
is better than too much, and dont forget
to water. Make sure to water two to three
inches after fertilizing. In general watering in the morning will allow water to
reach the roots instead of evaporating in

the hot sun. According to loveyourlandscape.org using a mulching mower can
also help return nutrients back into your
lawn, reducing the need for additional
fertilizer.
3. Plant a Tree for added Beauty
and Shade
Planting trees in your yard will not
only provide more shade for your family to enjoy, but also reduce temperatures and noise pollution, while offering
a habitat for wildlife. According to the
Environmental Protection Agency, trees
decrease soil erosion and help soil retain
moisture too. Trees create a sustainable
landscape solution that can generate a
fun way to mark milestones or special
occasions that your family can enjoy for
years to come while adding a beautiful
element to your landscape design. Check
your local nursery for the right tree for
your yard.
4. Brighten Up Your Outdoor Space
with a New Garden
Nothing brings more beauty to your
outdoor space than a fresh garden. Before
planting, assess your location for sunlight and check with your local nursery
or botanical garden to determine which
plants will thrive. Choose native and
climate appropriate plants and prep the
bed with organic materials. Think about
using a cultivator to break up weeds and
soil in hardened flower beds and gardens
which will allow water and nutrients to
reach the roots. Dont forget to spread
your new plants out so that they have
enough room to grow and surround them
with 1-3 inches of mulch.
5. Create an Entertaining Area
Whether its outdoor grilling, games,
sports or just relaxing, bring your family
together in your own great American outdoors. Give your family the magic of the
movies in your backyard by creating your
own DIY theater experience.
Consider using a simple budget-friendly projector, and anchor a white sheet to
use for the screen. Then just pick a movie
from your favorite streaming platform,
connect your laptop or mobile device and
and grab some blankets or chairs. And
dont forget the popcorn!
Whether youre a gardening enthusiast
or just looking to spend more time outdoors dont be afraid to tackle these quick
and easy projects to maximize your outdoor living space. For more tips like these

4 outdoor cleaning tips to save money
(BPT) – The sounds of birds chirping,
longer daylight hours, and budding trees
and flowers are early signs that warmer
weather and spring are on the way. That
means more time outside to enjoy nature,
but its also a sign it might be time for a
little spring cleaning.
Spring cleaning isnt just about getting
rid of belongings you no longer want or
need – its also a time to get your home in
tip-top shape so you can enjoy it throughout the rest of the year.
Here are four tips ORourke recommends to welcome the new season and
save some money down the road.
1. Clean your gutters.
Gutters collect debris over time, especially when rain, snow and wind causes
twigs, pine needles and leaves to settle
on your roof and in your rain gutters.
Accumulated debris can create blockages
that direct water into the home or, in
areas without much precipitation, can act
as kindling in the event of a fire. Buildup
also allows mildew and mold to develop,
which can slowly decay a homes exterior
and roof.
2. Trim branches and remove
dangerous trees.
Thunderstorm frequency picks up in
summer months, and high winds can
occur year round, so its best to get a
jump on tree maintenance in early spring.
Regularly trimming tree branches reduces their chance of breaking during a
storm, which could cause power outages
or property damage.
Consider having the trees on your
property inspected by an arborist to determine their health and have diseased trees
removed before they topple over unexpectedly. Removal costs vary depending
on height and difficulty, but range from
$100 to around $1,800. These preventative
costs are not covered by your homeowners policy, but can be a wise investment
that saves you time, money and anxiety.
3. Watch out for service lines.
Homeowners who want to plant gardens, trees or install additional landscape
features to enhance their outdoor living space should be aware of potential
underground utility lines. Most service
lines – a network of exterior, underground
utility lines or pipes that supply a home
with electricity, gas, water and sewer
functions – are only buried a few inches
beneath the ground. Accidentally hitting
one when digging can result in loss of
service, expensive repairs or a serious
injury.
If a break to a service line happens on
a homeowners property, special machinery may be needed to excavate pipes from
beneath the ground, which may require
digging under your home, garden or
driveway. The homeowner is responsible
for repair or replacement costs, and this
damage can be inconvenient, expensive
and isnt covered by a standard homeowners insurance policy.
The average cost to repair a break to
a service line is about $5,000 and most
Americans wouldnt welcome such a
large surprise bill, said ORourke.
Homeowners should definitely consider purchasing an endorsement to their
insurance policy to protect against losses
of this nature. Mercury offers this coverage as an addition to our home insurance
policy and it costs as little as $8 a year,
depending on the homes age.
To be safe, homeowners should call 811
before digging so the utility companies
can send a locator to mark the approximate locations of underground service
lines.
4. Service your air conditioning unit.
Regular maintenance of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems is essential to ensure the equipment
is in proper working order, which can
save money on energy bills, as well as protect against expensive repair and replacement costs.
No one wants to unexpectedly find
themselves living in a sauna during the
dog days of summer, so the start of spring
is a great time to have your air conditioner inspected, said ORourke. You should

also change your air filter to make sure

when that heat wave hits youll be nice

Have a professional inspect your HVAC
unit to make sure its exterior condenser
coil and compressor are clean and free
from blockages – the average cost for an
inspection is about $300.
Your home will bring you security
and joy for many years to come. Taking
the time to maintain it is well worth the

3 homeowners insurance tips to know before planting flowers or vegetables
(BPT) – Days are getting longer and warmer, inspiring many to want to spend more
time outside. Lots of people enjoy gardening this time of year – its an outdoor
activity families can do together, especially if parents are looking for ways to keep
their children occupied. Its also a great
way to get some fresh air, light exercise,
relieve stress and add to your homes curb
appeal.
Sprucing up your landscaping with
some new flower beds and shrubs can
give your home a refreshed look, said
Christopher ORourke, vice president of
property claims at Mercury Insurance.
A well-maintained yard can also help
protect against common homeowners
insurance claims like water and fire damage. For example, keeping gutters cleared
of leaves and debris can help prevent
blockages that might direct water into the
home. Regularly mowing the lawn, pruning bushes and keeping the yard free of
grass clippings and twigs is aesthetically
pleasing and can help mitigate against
wildfire risk if homeowners live in an
area where these are common.
Here are three additional tips ORourke
recommends.
1. Well-planned landscaping can help
mitigate wildfire risk.
Homeowners who live in areas with
dry climates that are susceptible to wildfires should evaluate their landscaping – if
laid out in a certain way, it might increase
your homes insurability.
The plants surrounding a house
have one of the greatest influences on its
chances of survival, said Douglas Kent,
wildfire expert, author and professor
of land management at California State
Polytechnic University, Pomona.
Plants within the five feet closest to
your home should be fleshy and moist,
as they are reluctant to produce a flame.
Instead, theyll sizzle and wilt when
exposed to flames and heat. If properly
maintained, these plants can catch and
extinguish a firebrand.
ORourke notes that homeowners
who dont live in fire country can also
take precautions to protect against fires.
Trimming tree limbs so theyre at least
10 feet away from your home and pruning unruly bushes can help prevent fires
caused by lightning strikes, for example,
from jumping onto your roof or exterior
walls, he said.
2. Before hiring expert help, inquire
about coverage.
Some gardening jobs may take an
expert to complete. However, this brings
added exposure to a homeowner if they
dont check on coverage from the contractor. With shovels, rakes and power tools
being used, an accident could happen at
any moment.
Before signing a contract with a landscaper or gardener, ask them for their
proof of insurance, said ORourke. If
they dont have coverage, you probably
want to find one who does. In most cases,
the contractors coverage will act as the
primary insurance should one of their
employees get injured while on the job.
ORourke also recommends homeowners read their insurance policies in full,
so they know what is and what isnt covered in the event of a loss. Knowledge is
power, so understanding your policy is

of utmost importance, he adds. Talk to
your agent if you have questions. Theyre
also the best resource to help you determine if you have the right amount of
coverage.
3. Consult with your insurance agent
after hardscaping.
Most gardens feature a combination of
plants and decorative, non-living features
or structures, like pathways, fencing or
even fountains to help better define and
add character to the space. Many homeowners also like to indulge in the warm
weather by expanding their outside living
space, which can include anything from
remodeling a patio to building a garden
oasis for relaxing and entertaining.
Regardless of how you may want to
enhance your landscape to better showcase – and enjoy – your gardening prowess,
its a good idea to speak with your insurance agent after making any significant
changes to your property.
Our homes are typically where we
spend the majority of our time, so its
natural to want to customize them to
our specific needs and wants. However,
renovations – including those done outdoors – can increase a homes replacement cost if its damaged or destroyed,
said ORourke. Talking to your agent
about enhancements youve made will
help ensure youre properly insured so
you can enjoy the fruits of your labor for
many years to come.

What happens when you overfill your car with oil?
CARS.COM – When an engine has too
little oil, bad things can happen: Friction
between moving parts increases, the
engine may run hotter and, worst case,
moving parts seize when they become
starved for lubrication.
Bad things also can happen when
theres too much oil. Overfilling with oil
can cause foaming, which turns a slippery lubricant into a sudsy fluid with air
bubbles that diminish the lubricating and
cooling properties. Frothy oil also is harder for the oil pump to distribute around
the engine, so some moving parts might
not receive as much oil as they need,
increasing wear and raising the risks of
engine damage.
How much oil does a car need? That
depends. Look for specifics in your vehicle owners manual, but many engines
require between 4 and 6 quarts. Typically,
the oil drains into a pan at the bottom of
the engine, below the crankshaft. If the
pan is overfilled, the crankshaft can act
like a high-speed blender that churns the
oil and creates foam.
The crankshaft is where engine speed
is measured, and it spins rapidly whenever the engine is running. For example, if
the tachometer reads 2,500 rpm at 75 mph,

It can be just as dangerous to put too much oil in your car as it is to have too little.

Overfilling also increases oil pressure,

and the technician might not check the
dipstick and even if they do check it, oil
takes time to drain into the pan, so they
might get a false reading of the oil level
right after pumping in fresh oil.
Checking the oil dipstick when a vehicle is on flat ground and the engine is cold
will give an accurate reading of the level.
If the oil level is a little above the full
mark, that shouldnt cause problems. If
its overfilled by half a quart or more, or
foam shows on the dipstick, the best fix is
to have the oil drained and refilled to the
proper level.

The missed home improvement step putting you and your community at risk
(BPT) – What do planting a tree, building
a patio, installing a pool and putting up
a fence have in common? These popular
home improvement projects add value
to your home, and they all require an
important safety step: getting utility lines
marked before digging.
With so many people spending more
time at home during the pandemic, homeowners are tackling DIY projects at growing levels – 19.5 million Americans plan
to dig this year for a home improvement project, according to the Spring
2021 Homeowner Omnibus Research
from Common Ground Alliance (CGA).
Unfortunately, two in five homeowners
will miss the crucial step to call 811 to get
utility lines marked before they dig.
Tempted to skip this step? You are putting yourself, your family and your entire
community at risk. Unintentionally striking one of these lines can result in inconvenient outages for entire neighborhoods,
serious harm to yourself or your neighbors, and significant repair costs.
CGA research found that a third of
American homeowners have been affected by a utility service interruption during
the pandemic. This can be particularly
frustrating as people spend more time
at home, relying on essential utilities to
work, study and stay entertained. You
dont want your digging activity to be the
reason your neighborhood faces an inconvenient outage, or worse.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 4-20-2021 / Brandpoint Content
Before digging always check to make there are no utilities in the way that could cause major problems.
If you think it wont happen, think
again. A utility line is damaged every
few minutes in the U.S. because someone
decided to dig without making a call to
811 to learn the approximate location of
buried utilities in their area, says Sarah
Wolken Plumbing
and Electric
Magruder Lyle, President and CEO of
CGA. Calling 811 to get utilities marked
before digging is free and easy, and will
protect you, your community and the utilities you rely on.
Follow these safe digging steps each
time you dig:
Step 1: A free phone call to 811 makes
it easy for your local one call center to
notify appropriate utility companies of
your intent to dig. Call a few days prior
to digging to ensure enough time for the
approximate location of utility lines to be
marked with flags or paint.
Step 2: Know where you plan to dig and
have a basic idea of what you plan to do.
When you call 811, a representative from
your local one call center will ask for the
location and description of your digging
project.
Step 3: Your local one call center will
notify affected utility companies, which
will then send professional locators to the
proposed dig site to mark the approximate
location of buried utility lines with colored flags and paint.
Step 4: Wait the required amount of
time for the lines to be marked. Once all
lines have been accurately marked, carefully dig around the marked areas.
There are nearly 20 million miles of
underground utility lines in the United
States, which equates to more than a
football fields length of utilities for every
person in the U.S. Your family depends on
this buried infrastructure for your everyday needs, including electric, natural gas,
water and sewer, cable TV, high-speed
internet and landline telephone.
With that much critical infrastructure underground, its important to know
whats below and call 811 before digging.

How often should I change engine coolant?
CARS.COM When is the right time to
change your engine coolant? For some
vehicles, youre advised to change the
coolant every 30,000 miles. For others,
changing it isnt even on the maintenance
schedule.
For example, Hyundai says the coolant
in the engine (what many refer to as antifreeze) in most of its models should be
replaced after the first 60,000 miles, then
every 30,000 miles after that. The interval
is every 30,000 miles on some MercedesBenz models with some engines, but on
others its 120,000 miles or 12 years. On
still other Mercedes, its 150,000 miles or
15 years.
Some manufacturers recommend you
drain and flush the engines cooling system and change the coolant more often
on vehicles subjected to severe service,
such as frequent towing, which can generate more heat. The schedule for many
Chevrolets, though, is a change at 150,000
miles regardless of how the vehicle is
driven.
Many service shops, though including some at dealerships that sell cars with
lifetime coolant say you should do a
coolant change more often than the maintenance schedule recommends, such as
every 30,000 or 50,000 miles.
Heres why: Most vehicles use long-life
engine coolant (usually a 50/50 mixture of
antifreeze and water) in the radiator that
for several years will provide protection
against boiling in hot weather and freezing in cold temperatures, with little or no
maintenance. Modern vehicles also have
longer intervals between fluid changes
of all types partly because environmental
regulators have pressured automakers
to reduce the amount of old coolant, as
well as other waste fluids, that must be
disposed of or recycled.
Coolant can deteriorate over time and
should be tested to see if its still good, as
it can be hard to tell just by appearances.
Even if the coolant reservoir shows suffi-

Regular maintenance on your cooling system could be the difference if it survives the hot summer or doesnt.
cient coolant level and testing shows the
cooling and antifreeze protection are still
adequate, a coolant drain and antifreeze
flush may be needed.
The coolant can become more acidic over time and lose its rust-inhibiting
properties, causing corrosion. Corrosion
can damage the radiator, water pump,
thermostat, radiator cap, hoses and other
parts of the cooling system, as well as to
the vehicle heater system. And that can
cause a car engine to overheat.
Thus, the coolant in any vehicle with
more than about 50,000 miles should be
tested periodically. Thats to look for
signs of rust, leaks and to make sure it has
sufficient cooling and overheating protection, even if the cooling system seems to
be working properly and the reservoir is
full. The cooling system can be checked
with test strips that measure acidity, and
with a hydrometer that measures freezing
and boiling protection.
If the corrosion inhibitors have deteriorated, the antifreeze coolant should be
changed. The cooling system might also
need flushing to remove contaminants no
matter what the maintenance schedule
calls for or how many miles are on the
odometer. On the other hand, if testing
shows the coolant is still doing its job protecting from overheating and not allowing corrosion, changing it more often
than what the manufacturer recommends
could be a waste of money.

Inspect these 3 areas to protect your home against costly water damage
(BPT) – Theres nothing quite like owning
a home. Theres the pride of achieving a
financial goal. Theres the comfort of having a sanctuary and space of your own in
which to build a lifetime of memories.
Occasionally, as many homeowners can
attest to, theres also the element of surprise when things suddenly break – like
appliances, the furnace or water heater
– and need to be fixed or replaced. Water
damage is the most common – and unwanted – surprise for homeowners. According to
Mercury Insurance, water-related damages
accounted for more than 45% of its homeowners insurance claims in 2020, resulting
in $160 million in property damage.
A water leak can happen at any time, so
its important for homeowners to routinely
check for potential sources to help combat
this issue, said Christopher ORourke, vice
president of property claims at Mercury
Insurance. Its also important to address
the cause of any brown spots on the ceiling
or bulges in the walls immediately – these
usually indicate a leak or water build-up
and most homeowners insurance policies
dont cover long-term leaks. Left untreated,
this can lead to extensive damage.
Show your home a little TLC to protect
against water damage by inspecting these
three areas in and around it.
1. The bathroom
Periodically check the pipes underneath
the bathroom sink for cracks or leaks. A
leaky pipe can be a sign of a larger issue
that might eventually cause your pipes to
burst, like high water pressure or corrosion. Regardless of the cause, consult with a
professional to have them assess and fix it.
The seal created by the caulk around
your sink, tub and shower helps prevent
water from seeping into spaces where it
doesnt belong, but it wont last forever.
Ensure the caulk isnt worn or cracked, and
apply a new layer if needed.
If water leaks from the base of your toilet, or it wobbles when you sit, its time to
replace the wax ring. Wax rings help form
a watertight seal between the bottom of a
toilet and the sewer pipe. The ring usually
lasts the life of the toilet, but its possible
for it to dry out and fail so pay attention to
malfunction signs.
If you have multiple bathrooms, some

might not get used as
often as others. Once a
week, make a point of
turning faucets on and
off, and flushing toilets
to ensure water continues flowing through
the pipes properly,
ORourke adds.
2. The kitchen
Just like in the bathroom, the pipes beneath
the kitchen sink need to
be checked regularly for
leaks and cracks.
Kitchen appliances
with hoses that connect
to your water supply refrigerators with icemakers or water dispensers, and dishwashers – are another potential source for leaks.
Rubber hoses can wear
out, blister or crack, and
will need to be replaced
over time. Consider

Holes, cracks and gaps can be entry

cause rot or structural damage. Walk the
perimeter of your home to look for imperfections in its facade. Inspect the condition
of the weather stripping on your windows

for damaged, missing or loose roof shingles,
