THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Anderson County Attorney
Elizabeth Oliver says she was not awarded a 6% cost of living increase this year
along with other county employee not
because she's not affected by inflated
living costs like other
staff but because county commissioners take
issue with how she runs
her office.
A copy of a January
11, 2024, email from
Anderson County Clerk
Julie Wettstein, whose
office handles counOliver
ty payroll and which
Oliver provided to the
Review, stipulate the reason commissioners withheld Olivers COLA as being
over the hours her office had been closed
or unattended. That notice followed a
pointed December 30, 2023, email from
Anderson County Sheriff Vern Valentine
to Oliver, Wettstein and county counselor
James Campbell about the office being
vacant during regular work days.
We did not add the COLA to your
wage, starts the email from Wettstein.
After the meeting regarding the office
hours, the Commissioners were uncertain
how you were going to proceed with your
office so they did not approve the raise.
Wettsteins email alludes to a follow-up
meeting at which the COLA would be a
topic, but Oliver says the funds were subsequently never authorized.
Valentine's email focused on the office
being closed and Oliver's staff apparently
working from home on numerous days
when Sheriff's Department staff tried to
contact the county attorney's office. In his
email, Valentine made his assertion clear
that neither the public nor law enforcement or other offices which depended on
interaction with the county attorney's
office were being served by the office
being closed.
Oliver said after Valentine's email,
she pulled her staff's timesheets from
November 18th 2023 through December
29th 2023 and provided information to the
commissioners that showed her staff had
not been in the office for three days within that period. She told the Review she
manned the office one of the days when
her staff was gone.
Commissioners previously reduced the
county attorney positions salary from
$65,000 to $60,000 when former county
attorney Brandon Jones left the office in
2020. Oliver took office in 2021 and has
earned that salary ever since according to
information from the clerk's office.
Despite criticisms of her office being
closed, Oliver provided the Review data
from district court records showing an
increase in the number of cases filed
since she has been county attorney. Those
records showed a total of 202 filings in
2020, and 251 filed in 2021.
COLA increases are traditionally
designed to blunt inflationary impacts on
salaries and wages and the draining effect
of that inflation on set wages, Whereas
merit pay races are typically determined
after some sort of evaluation process. In
the context of a publicly elected official,
voters make the final determination on an

Davids stays cozy with Israels foes in Congress on sanctions review measure
WASHINGTON, D.C. Kansas 3rd
District Congresswoman Sharice
Davids on Wednesday voted against a
major congressional bill which would
allow Congress to review any easing of sanctions against the terrorist nation of Iran undertaken by the
president, in response to Irans recent
drone and missile attack against the
State of Israel.
The measure, H.R. 4691, passed
the House of Representatives 278141, with all other members of the
Kansas Congressional Delegation,
Jake LaTurner, Ron Estes and Tracey
Mann voting in favor of the legisla-
tion.
David's vote brings more focus to
her historically tepid approach to
Israel and demonstrated support for
friends in congress who openly back
Palestinians against the country, as
the war spawned by the October 7th
attack by Hamas and its slaughter of
some 1200 Israeli civilians enters its
sixth month. Davids sat out a vote
last December on a measure condemning all brands of ant-semitism, voted
against a censure of Michigan congresswoman Rashida Tlaib for anti-semitic remarks, and voted against
removing Minnesota lawmaker Ilhan
Omar for similar
past
statements
against Jews and
Israel.

exert that pressure.
The only controls they
have over them (elected offices) is setting their budget and
setting their salary, said county counselor James Campbell.
The Kansas Supreme Court
ruled in 1929 in the case Henry
versus Simon that the particular duties of county attorneys having to be in and out
of the office and the fact that
some counties don't provide
a budget for staff assistance
means county attorneys aren't
required to keep office hours
per ytypical business hours
specified by county commissioners for other county operations. …All of which goes to
show that the County Attorney
is not one of the public officers
to be penalized for not keeping
his office open every business
day, the opinion reads.
A review of county commission minutes and budget discussions dating back to 2005 by
the newspaper showed no previous circumstances in which
a cost of living allowance had
been withheld as a punitive
measure.

Lexy Langworthy led worship service by reading from
Psalm 100. Songs were "Lord I

and "Revelation Song." Mike
Billings and Ben and Ethan
Prasko accompanied.
Brandt McGhee gave communion meditation "Spring has
Sprung" using Luke 22:19-20.
Spring is a time to recharge
as we watch the wonders of
God's creation come back to life
and start fresh. The spring holidays are a time for Christians
to recharge and dwell on God's

Pastor Chase Riebel's message "Caught" was from John

to get caught up in sin. We can
be deceived into going against
God's word, we can intentionally choose to do wrong or we can
allow our heart to become hard.

sees us but we seldom catch a
glimpse of God. We live our life
and we perceive it much as if
we were looking into a camera

perceive ourselves in the most
advantageous manner. We see
two images. The one image
is the way we want our life to
unfold. The persons we want
to share our life with. The job
we want and the resources to do
the things we want. The other
image is the one which inhibits
our desires. People who we
perceive to be an obstacle to
us. Circumstances that seem
to be obstacles to us such as
a financial reversal or health
issue. We are like a thoroughbred race horse running with
blinders for a finish line, able
only to see straight ahead. We
have no peripheral vision.
Unfortunately because of our
blinders we see only our desires
and the obstacles to achieving
these desires.

WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
In the book of Ecclesiastes
Solomon provides us with a
good example of someone who
pursued everything life had
to offer. The issue Solomon
had was when he achieved the
desired result he was pursing he was left with tension
between what he had achieved
and a certain level of dissatisfaction with the achievement.
His conclusion concerning all
of his pursuits to please himself
was, a chasing after the wind.
Man has long been trying to
build paradise on earth. The
problem is man has learned to
follow, for the most part, the law
of the land because it is enforced
by a system that has the author-
ity to punish those who wont.
Following God is quite another
task. Since the fall we were left
with a moral inability, that is
since we are faced with making
a choice most often we will take
the low road of the world rather
than the high road of God. And
truthfully we choose what we
most prefer. We are blinded
by our desires for ourselves.
It is this obsession with ourselves that forces God to the
periphery of our lives. When
our attention is diverted away
from something we soon lose
focus on it. How many times in
my life and yours have we lost
focus on something only to find
out how important it was to us
when its too late. This life does
not offer up enough rewards to
misplace God. We must continually refocus to keep God
involved God has never lost
anyone but a lot of us have lost
him. You can dismiss this but
before you do take some time
and examine your life. You
may or may not like what you
see.

OPINION
Medicaid Expansion should be eaten by cannibals
The saga of the Kansas Medicaid Expansion
debate looks a lot like stories weve seen lately
on the national scene; there are embellishments,
there are tall tales, there are outlandish assertions and then somebodys uncle gets eaten by
cannibals.
President Joe Bidens Illiad-like recitations of
family lore the most recent award winner being
the story of Uncle Bosie who Biden claims
became a main course for cannibals after his aircraft was shot down over New Guinea in World
War II are so entertaining one almost hates to
debunk them with facts. But when a dandy like
Kansas Medicaid Expansion is being pushed
with such singularly focused zeal by a states
chief executive, its a fiduciary responsibility
to boil the fat off the bones and tell the public
whats really underneath.
In all of Kansas politics there cant be a single
current issue thats had more study and analysis than the Medicaid
question.
Kelly just follows the Expansion
For nearly 10 years,
ever since federal
government-knows
funding for the program was defined by
-all pack, and
a U.S. Supreme Court
whatever they tell her ruling that made
Medicaid Expansion
is good enough…
for states optional as
opposed to the mandate that was intended under Obamacare,
advocates in Kansas
who can always find a reason for bigger government have carried the Medicaid Expansion
banner. The plan is simple and it harkens back
to another dubious Biden Administration faux
pas: in the same way that the presidents border
policies have let more unqualified individuals
into the country, Kansas Medicaid expansion
would let more people receive free or nearly
free health care paid for by taxpayers. Right now
Medicaid in Kansas is designed for and granted
to the poor; expansion would allow more people
on the plan who have higher incomes.
It turns out that logic is a thin broth for most
Kansans once they understand the details. Were
all for providing help to people who need it most,
and thats what the states present Medicaid
system does. But expanding that offer to provide
healthcare freebies for the 30-year-old childless
adult who doesnt want to get a job and still lives
at home with his parents pretty much leaves a
bad taste in our mouths.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Governor Kelly has tried to season the deal
using any number of state crisis story lines. The
tall tale that Medicaid expansion would save
Kansas rural hospitals disregards the fact that
the larger populations that would be included
under the expansion plan mostly live in the
cities, so urban hospitals would collect most of
the additional bounty. The governor touts work
requirements for the program that contain all
kinds of exemptions and limitations and basically amount to no work requirement at all.
The real hair in the soup however is the
fact that other states that have expanded their
Medicaid programs saw far more additional
enrollment than their initial figures anticipated,
and far higher costs than anticipated. And those
costs arent a single year occurrence once you
start giving something to people for free, it never
gets taken back. Kansas taxpayers would be on
the hook for 10% of the additional costs and wed
pay the federal governments 90% through our
federal taxes or just tack it on to the $34 trillion
dollar national debt so our kids and grandkids
could pay it too.
The reality is that Governor Kelly has no
more basis to believe Medicaid expansion will
improve the health of Kansans than she did
that a statewide mask mandate during Covid
combined with the disastrous shutdown of businesses, schools and churches would be best for
our collective health. Kelly just follows the government-knows-all pack, and whatever they tell
her is good enough.
Unlike the shelf life of the presidents unfortunate uncle, Medicaid expansion is a dish thats
been left in the Kansas refrigerator far too long.
Legislators, when they come back to finish the
states business for the year, should throw it out
once and for all. ###

juror also said he believes Trump did some good
for the nation, The New York Times reported.
A lawyer who told the court he has political
views as to the Trump presidency in that he
agrees with some policies but disagrees with
others, according to The Times.
A product development manager who said
she did not like Trumps persona, according to
ABC News.
A female health care worker who enjoys faithbased podcasts.
A woman who works in an educational setting and acknowledged that because Trump
was our president, everyone knows who he is,

A businessman who likes to listen to podcasts

A retired wealth manager who claims he has

An engineer who said, No, not really, when
asked if he has strong feelings about Trump,
according to the NYT.
An English teacher from Harlem who appreciated Trump speaking his mind, according to
ABC News.
A female who works in technology and relies
on the NYT, Google, Facebook and TikTok for
news. According to the NYT, she said she probably has different beliefs than Mr. Trump, but
that this is a free country.
Two jurors were struck Thursday, one who
admitted her inability to be impartial and another who had a possible history of vandalizing conservative political posters. One female juror told
the court outside influences could impact her
decision-making and expressed concerns about
her identity becoming public, according to the
Associated Press (AP).
Yesterday alone I had friends, colleagues

questioning my identity as a juror, the woman
reportedly said. I dont believe at this point that
I can be fair and unbiased and let the outside

A second juror was dismissed after the prosecution argued he may have been dishonest about
his past when he claimed he had never been
arrested. Prosecutors said they found an article

Beating up on Israel means forgetting about everyone else
Surely, youve heard of the brutal conflict
that has displaced millions of people and killed
more than 14,000, while aid convoys have trouble getting where they need to go?
No, the Sudanese civil war hasnt been on
your radar screen?
OK, but how about the crisis that has led
to more than half the population of a country
needing humanitarian assistance amid constant
turmoil and war?
You havent heard much about the conflict in
Yemen lately, either?
Perhaps, then, the war that has forced large
numbers of people to flee the fighting multiple
times, while as much as a quarter of the population is facing hunger or illness?
Actually, the fight between the military and
armed opposition groups in Myanmar also isnt
top of mind?
These are terrible situations that garner very
little or almost no attention, in contrast to the
overwhelming level of focus on Israels war in
Gaza, almost all of it through a hostile lens.
This is nothing new. The Jewish state has
long been singled out for opprobrium and held
to a standard different than that of other societies. Some of this is justified. As an advanced
Western-style democracy and ally of the United
States, Israel should be better than whatever
armed faction is preying on people in some
Third World country — and, indeed, Israel is
better.
International organizations, the media and
left-wing activists create exactly the opposite
impression, though. Given the amount of time
and energy devoted to condemning Israel, one
would be forgiven for thinking that the world
would be a much more peaceful, just place if

only it werent for the existence of a Jewish
state.
There are important distinctions between the
war in Gaza and the other conflicts mentioned
above. Israel isnt staging a coup or fighting a
civil war. It was perfectly content — indeed, in
retrospect, much too content — to live with a
Gaza controlled by Hamas, until it was subjected
to a heinous attack that no other society today or
in any other period in history would tolerate.
Israel also fights differently. It seeks to honor
the rules of war while operating in a dense
urban environment against a merciless enemy
that wants as many civilians to be killed as
possible. In other conflicts around the world,
there are no rules. In Myanmar, people arent
just fleeing the fighting, but executions and
killings, forced recruitment, torture, arbitrary
detentions, enforced disappearances and persecution, according to the European Union.
Nonetheless, it is Israel that is accused of
The corrupt local Democrat prosecutors who
campaigned for office on promises to concoct a taxpayer funded prosecution of Trump
should themselves be disbarred and prosecuted at a federal level for malicious prosecution,
abuse of office, election interference, discrimination and violation of Trumps civil rights.
Generally the only time a witness or juror is
in danger is when a mob crime boss is being
prosecuted.
I never knew what it was to be discriminated
against. I went to buy a house offered under

offered them full price for the house and they
will not sell it to me.

Trumps criminal trial: As fair as the Russian Collusion Hoax
Jury selection for 12 jurors wrapped up
Thursday in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin
Braggs lawfare against former President Donald
Trump, with the next phase of the trial expected
to begin as early as Monday. But with two selected jurors booted for potential bias and perjury
and at least one juror who made clear she doesnt
like Trumps persona, can he really get a fair
trial?
Who Are the Jurors?
After two of the initial seven selected jurors
were struck from the panel, another seven were
chosen Thursday. The jurors will hear Braggs
claim that Trump broke the law by allegedly
classifying payments made by his then-lawyer,
Michael Cohen, to pornographer Stormy Daniels
as part of a nondisclosure agreement as legal
fees instead of campaign expenditures. Federal
prosecutors in the Southern District of New
York declined to charge Trump in 2018.
The final selection of jurors is as follows:
A salesman originally from Ireland who follows MSNBC, The New York Times, the Daily
Mail, and Fox News. This juror is reportedly set
to serve as the cases foreman, according to ABC
News.
A corporate lawyer from Oregon who reads
the NYT, Google News, and the Wall Street
Journal. The juror suggested that he could infer
the former presidents intent without reading
his mind, according to ABC News.
A man who works in finance and follows
Michael Cohen a convicted liar and the prosecutions star witness on social media. The
I for one am looking forward to the start of
the Garnett Farmers Market. Its always been
expensive to eat out but now $10 or $12 for a
hamburger is ridiculous. We used to think
cooking at home was less expensive but look
at the prices at the grocery store, its not any
cheaper at all. Ill be glad when the farmers
market again allows us to support local people and cut out the middle man with these
outrageous prices.
committing genocide. The people braying about
Israels alleged crimes against humanity apparently never spare a thought for the Uyghurs,
subject to a massive ongoing campaign of
repression by the Chinese government; or the
Rohingya people, viciously targeted by the government of Myanmar; or the Bahai in Iran, the
Hazaras in Afghanistan or the Armenians in
Nagorno-Karabakh.
There are all sorts of candidates for a list
of the most oppressive countries in the world,
from North Korea to Equatorial Guinea, from
Turkmenistan to Venezuela, from Russia to
China. Yet, practically all we hear about is
Israel.
The old Soviet Union was long at the forefront
of propagandizing against Israel, a cause readily
taken up by the so-called non-aligned countries
and the left around the world. This tendency
has been rife with antisemitism and hypocrisy,
exemplified back in the 1970s by the brutal tinpot dictator of Uganda, Idi Amin, denouncing
Israel at the United Nations.
Since then, the names and the players have
changed, but the tendency — to single out Israel
for special obloquy and lie about and obsess over
the worlds only Jewish state — has remained the
same.
A common lament in commentary about
other conflicts is that they arent getting enough
attention. An official with the World Food
Programme lamented recently, The people of
Sudan have been forgotten. The EU noted, In
a world of growing humanitarian emergencies
and fleeting media attention, Myanmar is getting ignored.
Theres a reason for that.

from the community to thwart
a recent outbreak of vandalism.
McDowell said that windows
had been broken out in business buildings, street lights

windshields, and the flashing
yellow light on Maple Street
near Longfellow School had
been broken. McDowell said
he felt it was unfortunate that

Radon was detected in the
Anderson County Courthouse
last Thursday, according to the
Anderson County Agriculture
Extension
Agent
Matt
Teagarden. Teagarden said a
recent test in the courthouse
basement measured radon levels at more than 19 pico curies
per liter of air. Measurements
at four or fewer pico curies
per liter of air are considered
within safe limits per the federally mandated standards.
Teagarden also said that the
measurements were discovered by accident. Agents were
planning educational programs
for the community regarding
pollution hazards in the home,
including radon detection.
When the testing kits arrived,
personnel opened a test and
set the test up in the office.
After the prescribed amount of

to this exciting event, City
Commissioners are reviewing
a proposal from the Kansas

Historical Society to have a Crest graduate to
portray Mark Twain during May 2nd meeting
Ken Church in Twain for
Twainiacs to Perform for The
Anderson County Historical
Society, May 2, 2024
The first meeting of the
Anderson County Historical
Society, KS, for 2024 will be
Thursday, May 2nd, at 6:30
p.m. This will be our annual banquet held at the Dutch
Country Cafe on Hiway 59.
Speaker for the evening will be
Ken Church portraying Mark
Twain. Ken is a graduate of
Crest High School. Tickets for
the banquet are $23 per person and you need to be registered by Monday, April 29.
Tickets can be purchased from
members of the board of directors: Kenny Kellstadt, Richard
Miller, Betts Abraham, Terry
Solander, Nancy Foltz, Mike
Johns, Johanna Lankard or
Gayla Corley. Reservations
may also be made by contacting Kenny Kellstadt at (785)
448-7562.
Ken Church is a seventy-two year old Leavenworth,
Ks. actor who has impersonated Mark Twain for more
than fifty-two years. He is the
son of the late Dale and Lilia
Church of Colony, Ks. who
lived in Anderson County most
of their lives. Mr. Churchs
first performance was a benefit at Stephenson Scholarship
Hall on the campus of The
University of Kansas in
October of 1972. For forty-one
years Church was a speech,
English, and drama teacher
throughout Kansas. During
these years, Ken Church would
perform several times a year
for community groups and
organizations.
Ken taught
English, Speech, and Debate at
Concordia (Ks.) High School,
Pratt
Community College,
Oskaloosa
High School,
Lansing High school, Turner
High School, and Tonganoxie
High School. He also taught
night classes for Cloud County
Community College, Highland
College, and Donnelly College.
Since 1992, Church and his wife
Sandra Church have resided in Leavenworth County.
Retiring in 2015, Church decided to spend considerable time
studying Twain and expanding
his memorized Twain material
for his performance.
The memorizing is very
hard work, but, for a literary
buzzard like me, the research
is glorious fun. Church says.
The title of my show
Ken Church in Twain for
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 04-23-2024 / SUBMITTED
During the May 2nd Anderson County Historical Society meeting,
Crest graduate Ken Church will be portraying Mark Twain.
Twainiacs is a nod to those
who already have a great interest in Twain and the deep love
for his writing. It is especially
popular with those who have a
deep love of history, literature,
and humor. Church says.
There is so much of Twain,
and there are so many good
Twain actors. But, in truth, all
of us are chasing the late great
Hal Holbrook who died several years ago. He performed
as Twain for more than sixty
years. My wife Sandra and
I got to meet him backstage
at McCain Auditorium at KSU
in 1975. Church says adding,
The autographed program he
gave me is one of my great possessions.
Twainiacs, Church says,
Are people who share Mark
Twains love of words and
books, his devotion to country,
and his fierce reverence for
Americas freedom of expression. Twainiacs anticipate Twains wicked sense of
humor, the lengthy pauses
for effect, and his inimitable
descriptions all things that
still make him the leader of the
literary pack, some one-hundred and fourteen years after
his death. Church says.
Of his upcoming presentation to The Anderson County
Historical Society on May 2,
2024, Church says, I am especially excited to be in Anderson
County to perform once again.
My second performance in my
post-retirement phase of Mark
Twain work was with The
Advancers Club of Kincaid, Ks.
Violet Holt was instrumental
in getting me there for that.
We had such a great time!
Church relates. I also performed for The Friends of
The Garnett Library at The
Knights of Columbus building in the summer of 2016. I
got ready for the show in the
mens room. By the beginning
of the show, I had met about
half the audience! That was a
great audience, as well. I also
performed for The Kincaid
Free Fair that same year which
was a wonderful crowd filled
with many friends and family.
Of that performance Church
remembers, A late September
performance in an un-airconditioned old building resulted in
my sweating through a t-shirt,
a dress shirt, and my white
suit coat. It had to be about
100 degrees in there, but we
had a rollicking good time with
Mark Twain. I also loved performing for The Colony/Crest
Alumni Association in May of
2017. In addition, I have done
two performances at Parkview
Heights in Garnett, thanks to
the invitation from my good
friend Ann Badders of Lone
Elm, Ks. There I met one of my
dads high school girlfriends.
My wife Sandra and I also got
to see my Aunt Doris Church
as well as Sandy Sample, who
is a friend from our days living
in Concordia, Ks.
Following the performance
for the ACHS audience, there
will be a question-and-answer
session wherein Church and
audience members will discuss all things concerning the
great American author Samuel
Langhorne Clemens, known to
the world as Mark Twain.
High risk intersection:
Oldest cars (ever)
and climbing temps
WICHITA Basic vehicle maintenance is a must for anyone
who needs to count on their
car this summer. Thats the
message from AAA, expressing
concern that the record number of aging vehicles on U.S.
roadways AAA mechanic.jpgwill intersect with summers
heat, increasing not only the
risk of a breakdown but also the
expense of daily driving.
The average age of vehicles
on U.S. roadways is the highest its ever been at more than
12.5 years old, said Shawn
Steward, spokesman for AAA
Kansas. Summers heat will
take its toll on batteries, tires,
enginesyou name it, well see
it. Our goal is to remind vehicle owners to schedule preventive maintenance now, saving
them time and money down the
road.
Previous AAA research
shows that vehicles 10 years
and older are twice as likely
to end up stranded on the side
of the road compared to newer
vehicles. On top of that, the
odds of needing a tow quadruples.
Last
summer,
AAA
responded to almost 27,000
calls for Emergency Roadside
Service, just in Kansas, and
more than half of those calls
required a tow, Steward said.
April is Car Care Month at
AAA to ensure that all vehicles, new and old, are ready for
day-to-day driving and summer
travel, regardless of the temperature.
AAAs Money-Saving Tips
for Drivers
Keep up with basic vehicle
maintenance Ensuring that
your tires, battery, engine,
belts, hoses and fluids are serviced in accordance with the
manufacturers recommended maintenance schedule will
minimize the risk – and expense
– of a breakdown.
Save money on gas Car
care also helps your vehicle
operate at peak performance,
saving money on gas which
is typically most expensive
during the summer.
Get a bumper-to-bumper
health check Spring is a perfect time to schedule a bumperto-bumper health check on your
vehicle. Find a AAA Approved
Auto Repair location near you.
Budget for car repairs
New technology used by car
care technicians shows vehicle owners what repairs are
needed immediately and what
repairs can be put off, giving
drivers time to plan and save.
AAAs 5 Most Important Car
Care Recommendations for
Older Cars
Check Battery Automotive
batteries typically last between
three and five years, with summers heat pushingAAAs Five
Most Important Car Care Tips
for Older Cars many batteries
that are on the cusp over the
edge. Last summer, battery
troubles accounted for 19% of
AAAs Emergency Roadside
Service calls in Kansas. To
avoid an unexpected battery
failure, AAA recommends
drivers have their vehicles
battery tested when it reaches
three years of age and on an
annual basis thereafter. AAAs
Mobile Battery Service offers
FREE battery testing to AAA
Members.
Check Tires According
to
the
Department
of
Transportation, there are
more than 1.2 million weather-related crashes on U.S. roadways each year. As summer
approaches, AAA reminds drivers that worn tires can increase
stopping distance and the risk
of a crash, especially on wet
roadways. AAA urges drivers
to check tread depth, replace
tires proactively and adjust tire
pressure for warmer temperatures.
Check Engine System
failures, such as the radiator,
thermostat or water pump, or
failure of engine parts, such as
the timing belt, are most prominent in vehicles age 10 years
and older.
Check Fluids Incorrect
fluid levels can cause breakdowns or even serious damage.
Check all fluids regularly to
ensure proper vehicle function
and longevity.
Check Belts and Hoses
Belts and hoses are often
neglected, but if they break,
your trip will be interrupted.
Make sure they are closely
inspected and replaced if need
be.
Despite advances in vehicle
technology, including maintenance reminders and other
dashboard alerts, drivers of
newer vehicles are still at risk
of a breakdown as well.

allow Congress to intercede
in what is now sole presidential authority in any review
of sanctions that might result
in the lessening of those punitive measures specific to
Iran. Numerous congressional actions have been taken
against the Islamic state for its
support of international terrorism, with measures approved
in 1996, 2010 and 2012.
Davids communications
director Zac Donely did not
address the congresswomans
H.R. 4691 vote, instead citing
various other recent votes
primarily monitoring financial relations and restrictions
between the U.S. and Iran.
Republicans have expressed
concern over what they say is
a lack of Democrat and Biden
Administration support for
Israel, the U.S. most staunch
ally in the Middle East, and the
Biden Administrations lack
of forcefulness in confronting
Iran for its role in supporting
Israel's enemies. Iran has offi-
cially proclaimed that it seeks
the destruction of the state of
Israel, and has adopted that
oath as part of its national policy. Iran launched an attack by
some 300 suicide drones and
missiles against Israel on April
13, but air defenses of Israel,
the United States and other
allies in the region destroyed
most all of the incoming fusillade before it reached targets.
In opposing the authority of
a congressional review, Davids
joined other traditional anti-Israel members of Congress composing the so-called Squad
among them Tlaib, Omar,
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of
New York and Corey Bush
of Missouri, all progressive
Democrats, in the attempt to
vote down the measure.
David's vote did not go unnoticed by her Republican critics.
Delaney
Bomar
with
the national Republican
Congressional
committee
said Davids vote was a continuation of her opposition to
Commercial
Equestrian
Hobby Shops
Israel, and followed her previous votes against freezing
Iran's assets after the October
7th attack and a measure that
would have funded assistance
to Israels war effort by reducing the budget of the Internal
Revenue Service.
The laundry list of ways
Sharice Davids has opposed
Israel continues to grow. She
has drawn a line in the sand
and is firmly on the side of supporting Iran, Bomar said.
The bill now moves to the
U.S. Senate for consideration.

County, the AP reported.
Will These Jurors Deliver a Common
Sense Judgment?
The Supreme Court held
in the 1975 case Taylor v.
Louisiana that The purpose
of a jury is to guard against the
exercise of arbitrary power
to make available the common
sense judgment of the community as a hedge against the
overzealous or mistaken prosecutor or biased response of a
judge.
The Sixth Amendment is
designed to protect the accused
from any arbitrary and capricious trials perpetrated by a
weaponized government. A
jury of the accuseds peers is
meant to check the power of the
government, a right created in
response to the British courts
habit of permitting judges to
compel juries to change their
verdict if the outcome was not
favored by the judge.
But from what we know of
the Manhattan jury pool, its
not clear these New Yorkers
will be willing to check the government on a case that experts
on both sides of the aisle have
called dubious. New York
County, which encompasses
Manhattan, voted for Joe Biden
over Trump 87 percent to 12
percent in 2020.
Trumps lawyer objected to
one potential juror who posted
a video of a crowd of people celebrating Bidens 2020 victory.
Judge Juan Merchan decided
to chastise Trump instead and
refused to strike the potential
juror for cause.
Another
potential
juror who was excused because
of a job conflict told reporters
outside of the courthouse that
while she believes it is important for Trump to get a fair trial,
she did not approve of what he
did as president.
Meanwhile of the dozen
jurors selected, a number said
they get their news from corporate media like The New York
Times one of the outlets that
spent years disparaging Trump
and spreading false information about him.
Three
NYT
reporters
won Pulitzer Prizes for their
reporting on the Russiacollusion hoax, which they
based on anonymous sources.
But FBI official Peter Strzok,
who ran the investigation into
the alleged collusion, privately
acknowledged the report was
filled with misleading and
inaccurate information, as
pointed out by The Federalists
Mollie Hemingway.
Other jurors cited Google as
a news source. Google interfered in elections at least 41
times over the past 16 years to
harm candidates who threatened [Googles] left-wing candidate of choice, a study from
the Media Research Center
found. In 2020, corporate media
and Big Tech suppressed a
bombshell report about the
Biden familys corrupt foreign
business dealings mere weeks
before the presidential election,
adding to a pattern of burying
negative press about Trumps
opponent while spreading lies
about Trump.

Bulldogs big rally leads to sweep over Crest Viking baseball sweeps West Franklin
GARNETT – On Monday,
April 15, the Anderson County
Bulldogs hosted the Crest
Lancers and earned a sweep
after rallying from a 5-run deficit in their final at-bat in game
one.
The Lancer offense was firing on all cylinders early on as
they scored 4 runs in the first
and second inning to take an
early 8-3 lead.
The pace would slow considerably over the next few
innings. Anderson County
scored one run in the fourth
and Crest added one run in the
top of the sixth to extend their
lead back to 5 runs, 9-4.
The Bulldogs would lead off
the sixth with a double by Zach
Schaffer. Following a strikeout, the next 7 Bulldog hitters
reached base.
Colten Wittman drove in the
first run of the inning with a
single. AJ Schaffer followed
with a two-run double to cut
the Crest lead to 9-8.
Next Porter Foltz would
walk and Tyler Stinnet would
be hit by a pitch to load the
bases. On the second pitch of
the at-bat, Wyatt King singled
to left scoring both Schaffer
and Foltz for a 10-9 lead.
Brayden Wheat and Wittman
would lead AC with 2 hits each
and they both also drove in 2
runs. Wheat hit a 2-run homer
in the bottom of the first inning.
For Crest, Rogan Weir, Ryan
Golden, Drake Weir and Jerry
Rodriguez all had 2 hits. Golden
drove in 3 runs, all on a second
inning home run.
ACHS won the second
game 10-7, despite being outhit
by Crest 12-8 for the second
straight game.
Ayden Owen was the only
Bulldog to have a multi-hit
game picking up 3 singles, scoring once and driving in a run.
The Lancers had 4 players
with more than one hit in the
game. Henry White led the way
with 3 hits followed by Logan
Kistner, R. Weir and Rodriguez
all with 2 hits.
AC baseball splits at Wellsville on Tuesday
WELLSVILLE – Anderson
County opened play last
Tuesday on the road with a
game 1 victory before Wellsville
rallied twice to knock off AC in
9 innings in the late game.
After a scoreless first 3
innings, Anderson County
broke loose for 6 runs in the top
of the fourth inning.
Jack Dykes drove in the first
run of the game with a single.
Brayden Wheat drove in the
final 2 runs of the rally with
a single scoring both Preston
Kueser and Zach Schaffer.
Wellsville would tally their
first run in the bottom of the
sixth, which AC answered with
one of their own in the top of
the seventh to take a 7-1 lead
into the bottom of the seventh.
Wellsville was able to score 3
runs to cut the deficit to 7-4 and
with the tying run at the plate
and two outs, the game came
to a close on a popout to second
baseman Schaffer.
The Bulldogs got off to a
quick start in game 2 with a
pair of runs in the top half of
the first inning for an early 2-0
lead.
Wellsville would score one
in the bottom half of the first
but that is all the scoring that
would happen until the bottom
of the seventh when Wellsville
scored one more to send the
game to extra innings.
Wellsville would open the
inning with a flyout and a
strikeout. The next Wellsville
hitter would get hit by a pitch,
then back-to-back singles
scored the run that knotted the
score up.
In the bottom of the ninth,
Anderson County was in trouble from the start.
A double by the leadoff hitter in the inning, followed by a
single and an intentional walk
to load the bases loaded the
bases with still no outs.
In one of the unlikliest ways
for a game to end, Wellsville
had a walk-off hit by pitch to
win the game.
RICHMOND – Central Heights
scored a sweep over West
Franklin by winning a pair
of tightly contested games last
Tuesday at home.
In the opening game West

Kimball.

and allowed just 2 hits and
struck out 4.

Plastic and the planet
I couldnt help but think of
the Folgers coffee cans around
my grandparents house when
I saw Planet vs. Plastics,
the slogan for Earth Day this
year. There was always a can
in the kitchen near the percolator ready to brew a fresh pot.
Once emptied, the cans were
repurposed in the basement,
garage and barn for a whole
host of other purposes, ranging
from simple storage to cleaning
paint brushes. On the Fourth of
July, my cousins and I would
scrounge up a can that hadnt
found a use yet and proceed to
use firecrackers to launch it
like a missile.
Most of those cans still serve
a purpose, holding an assortment of washers in the garage
or fence clips in the barn, but
long ago Folgers ditched the
cans for plastic containers. The
stated goal at the time was to
provide fresher ground coffee, but I also imagine there
was some cost savings as well.
Either way, the utility of an
empty container didnt change
much. But I doubt wed have
much success using fireworks
with the modern version.
Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970 to remind people about the importance of
environmental conservation
and sustainability to create a
healthier planet and brighter
future for mankind. In 2024
this apparently means taking
aim at plastics, with a commitment to end plastics for the
sake of human and planetary
health. To be fair, it further
elaborates the goal is to merely
achieve a 60 percent reduction
in the production of all plastics
by 2040.
KANSAS COMMENTARY
GREG DOERING, KANSAS FARM BUREAU
Im all for conservation and
sustainability, and I can support efforts to reduce plastic
pollution, but doing away or
significantly reducing plastics
in all forms is likely to create
worse outcomes for humans
and the planet. A ban is like
using a machete instead of a
scalpel.
The prevalence of plastics in
our lives is because they offer
convenience, durability and
affordability. Food waste would
be significantly higher without
the preserving power of plastic.
Glass and steel containers often
require more resources to produce, and both are heavier and
require more energy to transport. Sterile plastic packaging
saves lives in medical settings
every day.
Theres often a lack of nuance
when people talk about plastic,
and that includes so-called single-use varieties like bags from
the grocery store, water bottles or margarine containers.
Yet, like the Folgers container,
those items often serve multiple purposes after their initial
use. From lining wastebaskets
to holding leftovers, plastic can
remain productive for a long
time.
Plastic is valuable because
it can be molded to any shape
and be impact resistant and
waterproof. The nontoxic material doesnt decay or corrode.
Plastics main attribute durability is also its biggest curse.
Its a miracle of modern chemistry that has no natural mechanism to break down in the
environment.
The solution isnt to end the
use of plastic and all its invaluable contributions to humans
and the planet on Earth Day,
rather its to better understand
the responsibility that comes
with having a fresh cup of coffee, a bottle of water on the go
or picking up groceries at the
store.
We should embrace the
virtues of plastic and work to
better manage its side effects.
The problem is pollution, not
plastic. It will take a little creativity, but Im positive we can
reap the rewards of plastic and
make Earth a better place to
live for us and all the other
living creatures who call our
planet home.

Seven tips for yard prep now that the weather is better
(BPT) – After winters last gasp, spring is just around the corner. That means its
time to get out into the yard and tackle some spring cleaning. With a little DIY prep
work now, your yard will be your familys oasis for months to come.
Here are seven spring cleanup tasks to put on your to-do list, along with the right
tools to get the job done.
Clean up debris. Gather up any stray branches, twigs and trash that have blown
into your yard. Tool tip: Keep two bags handy, one that you regularly use for garbage and a bag specifically designed for yard waste. Garbage services in many cities have specific windows of time in which theyll pick up yard waste in the spring,
so check with yours and make sure you get your debris to the curb on time!
Rake the lawn. Didnt get to those leaves before the first snowfall? Nows the
time to rake them up. This will let sunlight and air reach your grass, sparking it to
grow. Tool tip: They go in that same yard waste bag youre using for debris.
Do you need to aerate? Take a hard look at your lawn. Is the soil too compacted?
Do you have bare patches? It could mean you need to aerate the soil. Tool tip: You
can do this job yourself by renting an aerator from your local hardware store. Or,
bring in a lawn service to do it for you. This is also the time to apply fertilizer if
your yard needs it.
Deal with downed trees or branches. After this unpredictable winter, many people are faced with downed trees or large branches in their yards. Cutting them up
and disposing of them now will save lawn headaches later. Tool tip: This is a job
for a chainsaw.
Trim up shrubs. Since youve got chainsaw powered up, take a look at your
shrubs. Did you find any dead or diseased branches? Zip them off. Now is also a
good time to shape your bushes and plants, cutting away any stray branches for a
clean look.
Prune your trees. If you have low-hanging or dead branches, the time to clean

those up is early spring, before the leaves start budding out. Tool tip: An extendable pruner is the safest tool for this job. It allows you to prune branches without
climbing onto a ladder. Read more about it in this article from Almanac. One
important rule to remember when doing this task: Stay away from branches that
are anywhere near a power line. That is a job for the pros, period.
Tend your garden. Whether you have an in-ground garden or containers,
remove any dead plants and other debris like sticks from those beds. Also, cut your
perennials back to just a few inches off the ground. This will facilitate new growth.
Tool tip: Turn over or till your soil with a simple hoe if your garden is small. For
bigger plots, youll want to use a tiller.
With these tips and the right tools, you can spruce up your yard, making it ready
for your family to enjoy until the snow falls again.

Five simple Spring safety tips for your home
(BPT) – Refreshing your home in the spring is about more than organizing
closets and cleaning floors. As winter melts away and warmer weather returns,
proactively checking your homes systems will help keep it running efficiently
while remaining a comfortable and safe space for you and your loved ones.
Upgrade fire and CO safety solutions.
While youre ticking through your list of spring maintenance to-dos, dont
forget about the smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. Proper smoke and
CO alarm placement, regular maintenance and alarm replacement are essential
to keeping your family safe. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
recommends that alarms be installed on every level of the home, including the
basement, as well as in every sleeping room and outside each separate sleeping
area. Alarms should be tested regularly, and if the device is battery-powered,
batteries should be changed at least every six months.
To make maintaining your smoke and CO alarms easier, upgrade to a 2-in1 smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, such as the First Alert 10-Year Battery
Combination Alarm. This 10-year sealed battery alarm eliminates battery
replacement and late-night battery chirps for a decade. Easy to install, 10-year
alarms come equipped with a mounting bracket and installation kit – making
safety simple for you and your family.
Check for winter wear and tear.
Winters extreme temperatures can take a toll on the outside of your home
and its appliances. Examine the outside of your house and roof to check for
fallen branches or debris that could block gutters or downspouts and cause
a drainage problem. Inspect the driveway and sidewalks for new potholes or
cracks that may have developed in the cold, and ensure all exterior lights are
working properly.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 4-23-2024 / BRANDPOINT
Now is a good time to do routine safety tasks around the home.
Tune-up your cooling system.
When the weather gets milder, schedule a professional maintenance service
to ensure that your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems
are operating optimally and wont quit after the first heat wave. If you dont
already have one, upgrade to a smart thermostat, like a Honeywell Home Smart
Thermostat, which allows you to adjust your temperature from anywhere and
set different temperature schedules for various times of the day. ENERGY STAR
certified thermostats can provide comfort when youre home, and energy savings
when away.
door openers should be tucked away.
To help protect what matters most and learn more fire safety tips, visit
FirstAlert.com. For assistance with HVAC or home security assessments, contact
your local professional service.
Change your air filters.
Over a long winter, your heating systems air filters naturally accumulate dust
and other airborne particles, which can clog your air filter, impact indoor air quality and affect system performance. Regularly replacing your air filters is a great
way to help maintain indoor air quality and support a comfortable environment
for your family. Clean air filters also allow for better air flow, reducing the stress
on your homes HVAC system and promoting energy efficiency.
Secure windows and doors.
Warmer weather often breeds more home break-ins as burglars like when windows are open at night or garage doors are open during yardwork. But you can
help lower the threat by hardening the target. Walk around outside of your home to
inspect doors and windows for working locks and be mindful not to leave valuables
in sight. If you have cars parked in your driveway, keep them locked and garage

Ready for your best lawn ever?
3 expert Spring lawn care tips
(BPT) – As you make your list of spring cleaning chores, dont forget to add lawn
care to the to-do list.
The key to a healthy, robust lawn is preparation. Dont wait until the weather
warms up! Early spring is a great time to revive and revitalize your lawn so you
can enjoy it the rest of the year, says Matthew Koch, Ph.D., director of biotechnology, genetics, lawn fertilizer, and grass seed at The ScottsMiracle-Gro Company.
To help fellow lawn-owners, Dr. Koch and Scotts, a leader in lawn care, offer the
following three expert lawn care tips to grow lush and healthy natural turfgrass
throughout the season and beyond.
1. Feed and seed
After a long, sleepy winter, your lawn needs some help waking up. Dr. Koch
recommends feeding your lawn, so it knows its time to grow. Try a feed like Scotts
Turf Builder Triple Action Built For Seeding. The formula prevents dandelion and
crabgrass for up to 6 weeks without harming new grass, jumpstarts grass development, and feeds to protect against heat and drought.
Once your lawn is fed, its time to seed! Look for small areas of grass that arent
growing and patch them with Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair Sun and Shade. The
grass seed easily fills in bare spots on your lawn, even in tough conditions, including full sun, dense shade, high-traffic areas and on slopes. With a little TLC, your
lawn will flourish in no time!
2. Prevent disease
As the spring months continue on, increased humidity and moisture create the
perfect conditions for lawn disease to thrive. Look for brown or yellow patches,
brown or black spots on the grass blades (leaf spots), white dust (powdery mildew)
and red or pink webbing (red thread).
Even if you dont see signs of disease, Dr. Koch emphasizes the importance of
taking steps to prevent disease before it takes hold, and mid to late spring is the
ideal time to take preventative measures. Scotts Turf Builder Healthy Plus Lawn
Food is the first ever 2-in-1 fungicide and fertilizer that uses broad-spectrum and
systemic fungicides to help prevent and control 27 types of lawn diseases. Best of
all, the fertilizer helps your lawn grow thicker and greener by strengthening each
blade of grass down to the roots.
3. Mow high
As your lawn comes in, dont cut it too short. When the grass grows tall enough,
begin mowing at the highest setting. Mowing high allows grass to grow strong
roots and thick blades, providing shade that can prevent weed growth.
Early lawn care will set up your grass for success this spring and beyond. Follow
these three simple tips, and your grass will flourish so you can enjoy the stunning
landscape around your home ahead of summertime festivities.

How to make spring cleaning your kitchen and bathroom easier
(BPT) – The sun is shining, and the weather is
warming up, so you know what that means: its
spring cleaning season! When its time to deep
clean your kitchen and bathroom, you probably
wish there were ways to make the job quicker and
easier.
To help you maintain that sense of accomplishment that comes with a sparkling clean home,
Delta Faucet has thoughtful kitchen and bathroom
products that can help you maintain your hard
work this spring (and beyond!).
Make kitchen cleanup easier
The kitchen is the heart of your home, so its
important to keep it looking and feeling clean.
However, heavy usage throughout the day makes
this especially challenging. When spring cleaning,
start at the top of the room, wiping down kitchen
cabinets first, then cleaning the counters, sink and
stovetop, saving the floors for last.
After youve done a thorough cleaning, try to
establish the habit of wiping spills between food
prep tasks and right after cooking; this helps
prevent caked-on food that becomes harder to
remove. Keep a damp cloth handy to make this
easier.
Ensure that everything you need for cleaning
is in an easily accessible place. An under-sink bin
can hold essential kitchen cleaning products, but
make sure theyre meant for kitchen use only.

Nine sizzling tips for Spring grilling season
The birds are beginning to

time to dust off the grill! From
tips for using a meat thermometer to foil-packet meals that keep
things easy-breezy, here are nine

1. Prep your grill
For much of the country, its
been a long and frigid winter.
Before those of you buried under

your grill, its important to make
sure its clean and that you have
plenty of propane or charcoal on
hand.
2. Invest in high-quality meat

7, Always grill your veggies
When youre grilling, remember to grill your veggies along with your meat. Besides
the convenience of fewer trips to the kitchen, grilling gives vegetables a smoky flavor.
Simply slice and brush your veggies with olive oil, sprinkle on some herbs, and grill
them until theyre tender crisp.
8. Honor your side dishes
Waffle cut fries and sweet potato fries and oven fries, oh my! With so many French
fry options theres no excuse for not pairing potatoes with your grilled meal. Elevate
your fry game with easy to make dipping sauces like Sriracha sour cream, curried
yogurt, or caramelized onion and roasted red pepper.
Get creative with edible dip bowls. Make a bowl out of a scooped out bell pepper, a
head of cabbage, a mini pumpkin or any suitable veggie that complements the season.

One of the best parts about being a
professional wedding photographer is celebrating with you at your wedding reception. With nearly 200 weddings under
our belt, we have learned a few tips for a
successful wedding reception. No couple
wishes for their reception to be boring or
impersonal. In fact, its the opposite. The
wedding reception is a once-in-a-lifetime
party! It is something special to not only
the newlyweds, but also to family, friends,
and guests.
If you think about it, nearly half of a
photography timeline encompasses the
wedding reception. During this time, we
photograph the cocktail hour, entrances,
first dances, toasts, and all the dance-floor
shenanigans. We love to see the laughs
and happy tears!
And guess what? We want to photograph it! ALL of it! But sometimes receptions die early, and that is always a major
bummer. One thing is clear: human
beings are fickle, fickle creatures. We
want to be informed, entertained, comforted, and fed. When that doesnt happen,
we leave.
This blog post is packed full of tips for
a successful wedding reception that will
keep your wedding guests at your reception! As professional wedding photographers, we want to provide you with the
best advice to make your reception one to
remember!
1. Plan For YOUR Personality
If you have read any of my Just A Tip
posts, you know that I am BIG on couples
doing what they want on their wedding
day. No two couples are the same, and
that means that no two weddings are the
same. Feel free to customize any wedding
event or tradition to best fit who you are
as a couple. If a garter toss is not your
style, leave it out. If you prefer to have
a couples dance instead of parent dances
then do it. Maybe you dont want to dance
at all. Fine.
Maybe you want to ADD something
unique to your wedding! Guests react well
to anything thats unusual
and fun. Just talk to your
wedding coordinator or
event team. Hiring a wedding planner is probably the
single smartest thing you
can do to create a successful
wedding reception. Hiring
a wedding coordinator can
help you save time, money
and add peace of mind. That
way, you can enjoy your
wedding reception even
more!
2. Keep Guests Comfortable
The wedding day celebrates the couple, but your
guests are important as well.
Many have traveled from
near and far to celebrate.
While you want your reception to showcase your personality and style, you must
keep guests comfortable for
your wedding reception to
be a success.
Seating: As much as
you might want everyone
on the dance floor for the
entire night, its not realis- A wedding reception can be overwhelming but following these 10 steps will help walk you through the
tic. Think about creating a process
seating area for older guests
or for anyone who just needs a space to
get away. That way, they can step away
for a minute without having to leave the
reception completely.
Temperature: Whether your wedding
day is in the summer or winter, keeping
guests comfortable is key. On those hot
days, provide cooling fans, cold drink,
and shaded seating. In the cooler months,
offer heaters, scarves, or blankets.
Facilities: People gotta pee. Ok, in all
seriousness, when planning your wedding make sure that there are enough
bathrooms. Also consider ideas for baby
changing stations, easy parking, and

accessible routes from your ceremony to
your reception.
Thoughtful Extras: A few small comfort
items are always appreciated. Consider
stashing a basket of inexpensive slippers
near the dance floor so the ladies can kick
off their high heels. Stock hand lotion,
tissues, gum, mints, or hairspray in the
restrooms. At an outdoor event, provide
sunscreen or bug repellent. Believe me,
your guests will thank you.
3. Make Food Good, Fast, & Accessible
Food is a big deal at a wedding. Yourself
and your guests will want a full tummy of
delicious food that has arrived fast. You
also want to allow guests to easily access
food through the reception. I mean, you
have spent the money on it, so you want
to make sure that it gets used!
Good Food: There is no hiding bad food.
Tasty food means great conversation.
Great conversation means a great party.
A great party means fantastic memories.
The End.
Fast Food: No, not like Burger King.
If you are considering a buffet, this one
is for you. We have seen it time and time
again. Couples want to provide great food
to their guests, but the setup is justoff.
Consider adding two lines for a buffet, or
allowing waiting staff to serve it. If you
are considering any type of idea in which
the guests make the plates themselves
(burger bars, taco bars, or make-you-ownpotato), you will absolutely need extra
lines or helpers. Human beings are fickle,
but they are also sloooooow.
Accessible Food: Think about the
cheesecake deserts, the late-night
Krystals, or the hot chocolate bar. Many
guests dont know when these treats are
open. Before you know it, there are just
a few minutes left in the reception, and all
of the food is still there! No! Ensure your
DJ or Emcee announces that this food is
available for consumption!
Obviously, having a team of professional caterers is a must on a wedding
day. They will know how to make all the
yummy food you and your guests and
serve it in a timely and professional manner.
4. Hire a Professional DJ
A DJ does way more than just loading songs and hitting play. DJs have
extraordinary skills, expertise, and the
ability to read the crowds mood. They can
transform a boring wedding party into
an exciting and entertaining one! Before
the wedding, professional DJs make solid
preparations. They discuss the wedding
plan with the couple, which includes the
core theme or mood of the wedding. They
aim to create the perfect reception of your
dreams to ensure that the wedding goes
off without a hitch!
Further, most professional DJs bring
the LIGHTS! Lighting can transform a
room from a casual dining atmosphere to
dancing! Dont underestimate the importance of proper event lighting for a wedding reception. Ambient uplighting will
set the mood, while fun dance floor patterns and moving lights will make for a
fabulous party.
5. Allow Song Requests
Want to know the best way to get your
guests out on the dance floor? Play the
songs they actually want to hear. This
doesnt mean giving up full control to
Uncle Joe. Yes, I know you dont want to
dance to The Wobble or the Electric Slide.
But, guess what? Your guests absolutely
do. Its a fact. Couples can allow their
DJ to announce that they will take song
requests. These requests can be for just a
small amount of time, but I guarantee that
your dance floor will fill quickly.
6. Get On The Dance Floor
Dont hide at the bar. Your guests want
to party with you and see you shake your
bootie on the dance floor! A dance floor
fills up quickly when the wedding couple
is dancing away. This doesnt mean that
you have to spend the entire wedding
dancing. But, if you really want a party,
this is part of it. This is a big one, says
DJ Sammy Scott of Legacy Sound. Brides
and Grooms should be on the dance floor
as much as possible. The guests want to be
around them, so simply put, where you go
is where they go.
7. Bring The Alcohol
Having alcohol at a wedding is a delicate decision for any couple. If you choose
to have alcohol at a wedding, it does not
mean that you have to have a full-on open
bar with top-shelf alcohol. But, open bars
can be pricey. There are ways to make
it work on any budget. Consider offering just beer and wine or a few cocktail
options. Or offer champagne as a favor or
during the toasts.
Alcohol does do one thing that other
things cannot: it extends the length of a
wedding reception. Many couples want to
have a party that lasts into the late hours
of the night. Alcohol makes that happen.
With an average of four hours for a reception, those considering not having alcohol
may want to reduce that time to two or
three hours. That way, they can apply
their photography time to other areas!
8. Provide Easy Entertainment
At the end of the day, your wedding
reception will be remembered for how it
made your guests feel. You can include
engaging entertainment away from the
dance floor to provide a good time for all
your guests. These activities also give a
nice opportunity for your guests to interact with each other. You can incorporate
various games or events during a wedding
reception.
For The Kids: If youre having a
kid-friendly reception, consider scaven-
ger hunts, mazes, connect the dots, or
word-finder puzzles. Have a special area
or room designated as the kids corner.
This will keep kids entertained and allow
the adults to shake things up on the dance
floor.
Photo Booths: This is one thing that
isnt going out of style. People love to put
on silly hats and outfits for photos. You
can create your own photo booth at the
venue or consider hiring a photo bus!
Caricature: One of my favorite entertainment ideas by far and great as a favor,
too! Employ an artist to come and draw
photos of your guests! It is a perfect way
to provide entertainment and a gift.
Yard Games: For those beautiful summer evenings, yard games are a great way
to entertain guests away from the dance
floor.
Cigar Bars: Cigar bars are great for any
season. It provides a perfect opportunity
to socialize away from the dance floor
with other guests.
9. Provide Unique (and Usable)
Wedding Favors
Handing out wedding favors to your
guests is a great way to remind them
how important they are to you. The best
favors are ones that guests can enjoy
at the reception or make use of a home.
Remember, you dont want to spend
money on something that goes to waste.
Candies for kids, personalized mugs or
glasses, jars of homemade honey or jams,
blankets, or East Tennessee Moonshine
are all great ideas. Guests can use these at
your wedding and afterward as well!
If you need to express your gratitude
for those who help you in the wedding
planning process, personalized bottles of
wine are great gifts.
10. Dont Fret or Fight
You can plan like crazy leading up
to your wedding, but on your wedding
day, let it goooooo. Be happy. Enjoy your
day. Your wedding day and your wedding
reception will fly by. You dont want to
spend it upset, worried, or fretting about
unimportant details. Let your wedding
coordinator or event team take over the
behind-the-scene stuff.
And guess what? Newley weds fight on
their wedding day. Most of it comes from
anxiety or frustration. If you know certain things can or will upset your spouse,
dont do them on your wedding day. If
you know your bride doesnt want cake
smashed in her face, dont do it.
We love to party with our couples, and
we want all of their receptions to be a
smashing success. If you are interested in
hiring us for your wedding photography,
please feel free to contact us anytime. Im
so ready to get down on the dance floor
with you and yours!

Get your car summer ready during National Spring Car Care Month
The season that features one of Americas favorite pastimes, the family
road trip, is just around the corner, and Lucas Oil has eight important tips
for National Spring Car Care Month to make sure vehicles are ready to hit
the road and deliver miles of memories and great times.
1. Tires and tire pressure: Even experienced mechanics can overlook
tires, but all drivers should check for uneven and excessive wear, dry
rotting, foreign objects, and most importantly, correct tire pressure. Wellmaintained and inflated tires offer the best safety and fuel economy. Many
tire shops are happy to perform free inspections and basic air pressure
checks.
2. Fuel system: Checking tires is crucial, but dont overlook fuel system
maintenance. April is the perfect time to pour in a bottle of market-leading fuel system cleaner to a full tank of gas or diesel for a deep cleaning
of all critical fuel system components. Formulated to clean power-robbing
carbon deposits, these products can revitalize a vehicles fuel system from
the tank to the engine to ensure great performance. For ongoing care, use
a reputable cylinder fuel treatment at fill-ups to further clean, lubricate
and boost efficiency. These fuel treatments are easy to use. Just pour and
go.
3. Oil change: Another critical system is a vehicles lubrication system. It lubricates and protects internal engine parts which can suffer
from dirty or low oil, leading to increased friction and wear. If a vehicle
is between oil changes or in need of an oil change, adding a quart of oil

and more all have important functions, and they are critical for proper operation. For
basic car care, owners should refer to their owners manuals to understand how to
check fluid levels and add where needed.
6. Belts and hoses: Cars, trucks and SUVs all have a system of belts and hoses that
drive essential components and carry fluids between different systems. Over time,
these parts can wear out and fail suddenly, potentially leading to costly repairs.
Regular visual checks for signs of cracking or dry rotting belts or swelling or leaking
hoses can prevent breakdowns. These kinds of issues should be immediately addressed
by a qualified professional.
SINCE 2015
7. Air filter: Responsible for filtering dust and dirt from coming into an engine, air
filters are also vital components. However, as they age, contaminants build up on the
surface of the filter making it harder and harder for air to pass through which affects
drivability and fuel economy. Air filters should be visually inspected, and if found to
be dirty or past the recommended service life, they should be replaced according to the
vehicle manufacturers instructions.
8. Windshield wipers: Lastly, windshield wiper blades should be inspected for
damage and excessive wear. Snow, sleet, ice and other winter elements cause havoc
on wiper blades, so its a good idea to replace them when preparing for summer rainstorms to ensure good visibility in all conditions.
While these are some of the top things to consider, proper car care also includes
all regularly scheduled maintenance, an inspection of a vehicles battery, all safety
systems which includes seat belts, air bags and horn, exterior and interior lights and a
windshield inspection for chips and cracks. Motorists preparing for road trips should
also prepare a roadside emergency kit to be prepared for the unexpected like a flat tire.

10 tips for selling your home in the Spring
According to Zillow, theres no better
time to sell your home than spring; homes
listed between mid-March and mid-April
sell about 15% faster than any other time
of year. To attract buyers, youll want
the house to be seen in the best possible
light. So, if youve been toying with putting your home on the market or its been
languishing without an offer, weve got 10
tips to help you get that SOLD sign.
1. Create a Budget
Homeowners are often surprised to discover the out-of-pocket expenses involved
in selling their home. If youre thinking
of putting up a For Sale sign in your
yard, its a good idea to make a budget
now to determine how youll cover the
costs of getting it sold. Budgeting guru
Dave Ramsey has a sample budget on his
site that can help you anticipate expenses
from the beginning of the sales process
through closing.
2. Find the Right Real Estate Agent
A good real estate agent can be your
partner through the complicated process
of selling your home. They will market it
appropriately, negotiate the best price on
your behalf, and facilitate the more challenging parts of the sale to ensure things
go smoothly. Do your research and ask
friends, family or your lender for recommendations of agents in your area.
3. Spruce up Your Curb Appeal
The first, in-person impression any
buyer will have of your home is from the
curb, so start there. Hire a professional
to power wash your house and driveway
or rent a machine to do it yourself. Add
a sealant to the drive after its cleaned
and dried to keep it looking refreshed and
new. Are your shutters or mailbox looking a little tired? Cleaning and a fresh
coat of paint can work wonders.
4. Prepare Your Yard
How does your lawn look after the
cold, wintry months? If there are any
brown patches, invest in some seed or
sod to begin filling the areas that are
thinning or need to be cut away. Dont
forget to pull weeds and trim bushes. If
youve got bare spots or shabby-looking
areas, try adding mulch or pine straw to
fill in throughout the garden. Springtime
is a season for renewal, so why not hit
the garden store to choose some bright,
beautiful flowers? Word is, yellow flowers help sell homes.
5. Spring Clean Everything
Your home needs to sparkle and shine
to dazzle prospective buyers. They may
not love that Little Mermaid bathroom,
but they will certainly notice if it isnt
spic and span under the sink or in the
tub area. Take some time to deep clean
the bathrooms and kitchen, clean out the
clutter from drawers, and add new shelf
liner in the closets. Dont forget to dust
the blades of your ceiling fan and wipe
down your appliances. Consider getting
the whole house professionally cleaned,
including the carpets. Its always easier to maintain than it is to start from
scratch.
6. Declutter and De-personalize
Clearing out some clutter may help
buyers imagine themselves making your
home their own and make less for you
to pack when your home sells. Removing
refrigerator magnets, kids drawings and
knickknacks can go a long way in helping to sell your home. Consider removing a piece (or two) of furniture from
each room to open it up and show off
its spaciousness. De-personalizing may
also mean packing up family photos and
choosing more generic artwork for the
walls.
7. Freshen Up Paint and Hardware
If your walls look dingy or dated, a
fresh coat of neutral paint can make a
room feel renewed and cheerful. Plus, a
light-colored interior reflects more light
and can bring a feeling of brightness on
a gloomy day. If painting isnt an option,
give your walls a good dusting, clean all
baseboards and knock down any cobwebs
lingering in the corners. Are your drawer
pulls and knobs showing their daily wear
and tear? Its easy to update them with a
trip to the home store and a screwdriver.
If buying a new front door is in the
budget, splurge on that. If not, consider
adding a new door handle, hardware, and
lock as well as updated porch lights.
8. Focus on the Kitchen and Bath
You dont need to do a complete overhaul. In fact, statistics show that spending money on a bathroom renovation
isnt the best investment to sell your
home. As anyone whos ever watched
HGTVs House Hunters, you know buyers
can be swayed by ample storage, updated
fixtures, and great light. So, spend some
time clearing out the hall closet of old
coats (donate them!) and linen closet to
add in pretty storage boxes. Pick out a
beautiful new faucet for the kitchen sink
and re-grout and caulk the shower, tub
and sink. Make sure the bulbs youre
choosing for overhead light fixtures cast
an attractive glow not a blinding, clinical
light.
9. Create a Welcoming Porch or Patio
As the end of winter and prelude to
summer, spring is all about getting outside and enjoying outdoor spaces. Think
backyard cookouts and watching rain
storms from the front porch. Part of selling your home in the spring is reminding
potential buyers that its the perfect place
to enjoy these activities or lounging by
the pool or playing on the tree swing.
Take some time to sweep off the deck,
uncover your grill, and tidy up the table
and chairs on your patio.
10. Snap Some Photos
Consider adding an album or digital
slideshow of photos of your home in different seasons of the year: highlight the
backyard patio in summer, the changing
leaves in fall, and lights on the house
during the holidays. These images can
help prospective buyers imagine themselves in the home year-round.
Bonus: Start shopping around for your
new home. Now that your current home
is ready to sell, its time to start thinking
about where you and your family will be
moving. One of the best parts of moving is
picking out your new dream home.
No matter what kind of new home you
choose, BrandMortage is here to help you
finance your dream. We offer an extensive menu of loans to fit your needs. Wed
