Spillway project faces red
tape, one-year time limit
Flurry of federal, state
agencies have to be
satisfied before digging
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Moving the dirt to
repair the Cedar Valley Reservoir
spillway after 2019s flood damage will be one thing. Moving the
paperwork with all the associated
federal and state agencies involved
to get it done will be quite another.
The bureaucracies involved
in the project, which the City of
Garnett hopes to have paid primarily by federal disaster funds
since Anderson and 48 other counties received disaster declarations
at the time, regulate everything
from repair designs to construction permits to assurances that
no Native American cultural sites
will be disrupted or native species
displaced.
And due to the extra year the
government shut down inspections due to Covid-19, they have to
finish it all by June 2023 a little
more than a year from now.
The details of the project were
relayed in the minutes of an initial phone meeting conducted by
McClure Engineering that included Garnet City Manager Travis
Wilson, city public works director
James DePriest as well as officials
from the Kansas Department of
Emergency Management (KDEM)
and the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA).
Repairing the spillway at Cedar
Valley Reservoir to protect the
possible loss of the dam during a
rainfall emergency will require a
lot of physical work to the structural area, but an outline of the
project by the citys engineering
firm reveals moving the earth for
the project pales in comparison to
moving the bureaucracy to get it
done.
The rains of early 2019 set the
course for the rest of the year in
Kansas with a number of flood
periods drilling the rest of the state
after the April 28July 12 near
constant deluge that ripped up
the CVR facility. The spillway is
designed as a safety valve for the
reservoir dam; basically allowing
water to run around the dam on a
directed path and down the back of
the outflow area instead of cresting
the dam and starting to tear away
its main structure. In 2019 the
spillway protected the dam, but
damaged the spillway channel to
the point officials fear future damage there could affect the integrity
of the dam itself. The spillway was
previously repaired in 2008 after
being damaged by torrential rains
in 2007, so the spillway problem is
one the city has faced before.
Garnett applied for FEMA funds
for the repair and was approved,
but the 2020 pandemic shutdown
ended any plan for work on the
project for most of the next two

Anderson County jobless rate hangs at
2%, some businesses still short-handed
TOPEKA Local unemployment
numbers continue to reflect a jobs
scenario in Kansas in which many
businesses are seeking employees, unemployment rates are low
and for the second month in a
row unemployment in Anderson
County rested at 2 percent, down
from 2.1 perent in March 2021. The
numbers reflect only 96 members
of the estimated regular 4,753-person work force as seeking unemployment benefits in March.
Meanwhile, the labor shortage
is the talk of Kansas. Statewide
some 33 percent of Kansas businesses surveyed last fall said they
were short staffed, and 17 percent
said they had reduced operational
hours due to being short on help.
Natural gas price hike likely to drive
increase for Garnett city customers
GARNETT Creeping natural gas prices following petroleum and other commodities
price increases will most likely
bring a gas rate increase to
Garnett city utility customers,
and it may happen as early
as tonights city commission
meeting.
City manager Travis Wilson
told city commissioners in
a report last week gas price
forecasts from the Kansas
Municipal Energy Agency and
Kansas Municipal Gas Agency
expected a unit of gas to hit
$6.82 before leveling off with
warmer summer weather. He
said as of April 7 the city was
paying $6 per MMBTU, a 35%
increase from the March price
of $4.40.
This is a 60-77 percent
increase from 2020, when the
price for gas was $2, Wilson
said in a weekly report to the
commission.
Wilson said his research
showed the city had seen gas
rate changes 54 times since
1970, showing the volatility
inherent in gas markets.
The good side to this is
that it has increased as well as
decreased, Wilson said.

Rhetorical blame has centered

City working legal ropes to mesh with new state liquor regs
Change would allow wine
vendor at May 7 Square Fair
to provide samples, sell bottles
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT City leaders are researching
the legalities involved in matching some
local activities up with changing state
liquor laws, including a proposal for wine
sampling at the upcoming Business and
Professional Womens Square Fair on
May 7.
Garnett Community Development
Director Susan Wettstein said city legal
staff was researching changes to state
regulations after the passage of the
strong beer laws in recent years that
approved the sale of 5% alcohol beer in
grocery stores and convenience stores,
and expanded product offerings in traditional liquor stores. The issue arose locally when a prospective vendor at Square
Fair planned to offer wine samples and
sell bottled wine from their vendor booth.
They have their paperwork in order to
do so per state requirements, Wettstein
said. It is my understanding that cities
that allow this on public property have to
pass an ordinance or resolution allowing
it.
Wettstein said the change in city law
would also likely affect organizations like
Cornstock, which sells beer at its concert
location in Lake Garnett Park, as well
as private bars or other planned parties on city streets or public property.
State laws in the past required appli-
cants for such events to
apply for a temporary permit from their respective
city, but Wettstein said
the most recent changes
appears to grant licensing authority for those
events to the states
department of revenue with a required
legal confirmation or
endorsement from the
city where the event
would take place.
The change and
an expanding base of
vendors might invigorate the Square Fair.

Sides banter over risks, rewards of
open enrollment in Kansas schools
Conservatives say its a move
toward school choice, rich
districts say it will cost them
SUZANNE PEREZ
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 4-26-2022/ DANE HICKS
The new Beacon of Truth Church project west of Garnett is taking shape. Pastor Reuben Esh said the church,
which is presently located on the county line near Richmond, used safe attendance protocols during the pandemic and has seen steady growth since the end of Covid lockdowns. He said the project grew out of an overall
need for a larger sanctuary and fellowship hall.
KANSAS NEWS SERVICE
WICHITA, Kansas Kansas stands on the
verge of letting students attend any public
school regardless of where they live.
Conservatives love the plan. They say
it would give poor families stuck in failing
school districts a chance at a life-changing
escape.
But school administrators running wellheeled suburban districts already are taking measures to demonstrate their classrooms are full the one exception the
proposed change would allow from barring
students who want to transfer into a district they dont live in.
They say they have little choice if theyre
going to protect their taxpayers from the
cost of teaching a flood of students theyre
not prepared for and who come with needs
they cant afford to accommodate.
We believe in neighborhood schools,
said Brett White, superintendent of
Andover schools east of Wichita. The open
borders would just throw into chaos what's
an established policy.
Open enrollment proposals passed in
both the Kansas House and Senate before
lawmakers left for their spring break this
month. They echo measures in more than
two dozen other states where public school

Resurrection = New Life
FROM PAGE 1
Darren McGhee gave the
Communion Meditation referencing the lyrics from Lauren
Daigle's song "You Say". I Keep
fighting voices in my mind that
say Im not enough, every single lie that tells me I will never
measure up, Am I more that
just the sum of every high and
every low? Remind me once
again just who I am, because I
need to know. The only thing
that matters now is everything you think of me. In you
I find my worth, in you I find
my identity. In the last verse
it says, taking all I have and
now Im laying it at your feet,
You have every failure God,
and youll have every victory. Easter is a time in which
those of us that have chosen
to believe in him hold this day
very special. We know that he
is risen because he helps us
every day. (Ref: 1 Peter 4:12-13;
Psalm 63:5-8)
Pastor Chase Riebel gave the
sermon, "Resurrection=New
Life". The whole week of events
begins with our Lord intentionally riding into a town full
of people who didn't like Him.
He knew it wasn't going to be
pretty, but he did it anyway.
He knew exactly what he was
doing. He was on a mission to
free us from the devil. And up
until this point, it appeared
that the devil might be winning. That he was the stronger
man. Most of us can look into
our past and see a time when
we didn't care if we belonged
to God or not. The devil was
winning the war within us.
And then one day you realize
that all the worldly things you
were living for aren't worth
anything compared to Heaven,
and you invite Jesus in. And
in comes the Stronger man!
We are guilty of breaking all
kinds of laws, including God's
laws. But we can be found innocent and that's the part that's
so hard for us to think about.
When Jesus died in our place,
the veil in the Temple was torn,
the earth shook and the rocks
split apart, the tombs opened
and the bodies of Godly men
and women were resurrected.
This still doesn't compare to
us being found innocent of sin
because of Jesus' death. God,
in his grace makes us right in
his spirit, and broke the devils
hold on our souls! (Ref: Luke
5:23 & 11:21-22; Matthew 22:37-40
& 28:20; Daniel 6:10-22; Romans
3:23-24 & 8:11; Joshua 1:9) Hear

A community tradition in
Garnett for more than 50 years,
has suffered declining numbers
of vendors and audience over
a number of years leading up
to 2020, when it was cancelled
along with virtually all over
outdoor community events due
to fears of Covid-19. The festival returned last year with
some 50 exhibitors, about a
third the number that would
typically be drawn to the event
a decade ago.
Cornstock, the communitys
best-attended outdoor festival,
suffered a three-year hiatus
after weather and Covid cancellations, and makes its return
this fall.
Wettstein said action on a
city ordinance or resolution
plan would likely happen shortly, since the date for Square
Fair is less than two weeks
away.

gas in storage, and resulted in
market prices nearly doubling
over the past year. U.S. exports
of natural gas have also grown
over the past year, KGS said in
a website Q&A post.
But a gas rate increase would
be more bad news for city utility customers, who are expecting an electric rate increase in
coming months after another
discussion recently on decreases in the citys surplus utility
funds, which have been used
over more than a decade to
subsidize line items in the city
budget to keep property taxes
low.
Still, Wilson said the city
needed to stay current on gas
rates and follow the market
increases before they became a
cost loss for the city.
Id rather get ahead of it
and raise it before it eclipses
our current charge, Wilson
told commissioenrs.
Wilson said he planned to
have an ordinance prepared
to authorize the rate increase
at tonights city commission
meeting.
depends on federal funds to
be completed. For instance
the Kansas Department of
Agriculture Division of Water
Resources Dam Safety has permitting jurisdiction over the
reservoir and any associated
repairs. Permitting questions
have to be sent to an official
with that office. If the determined repairs or the state of
the present reservoir dont conform to the applicable Kansas
Reservoir Standards according
to the state department of agriculture, McClure staff thinks
permitting applications would
have to be made to the Army
Corps of Engineers in order
to get authorization for the
project that will satisfy FEMA
funding administrators.
If the design of the repairs
means extra dirt will need to be
dug or borrowed from near-
by areas of the spillway, other
cultural inspections have to be
done and paid for to ensure
no Native American artifacts
or other presence is disturbed.
The same goes for confirmations that no endangered species will be harassed.

project to have to be shoehorned into the remaining
year of the extension the city
already applied for.
The time needed to complete the overall project, assuming major construction is
likely, and permitting requirements is a concern, said Mark
Griffin, the project manager
with McClure Engineering.
Design, permitting, bidding,
construction activities all must
be completed by June 2023 for
partial reimbursement by

the time constraint a major

CARON
BAUGHER
APRIL 28, 1937 – APRIL 17, 2022
Susan Simons Caron, 84, of
Garnett, KS, passed away on
Easter Sunday afternoon, April
17, 2022, when her caring heart
gave out after
a
lifetime
of
sharing
it with all
who passed
through her
charming
home or spent
time
with
her.
Susan
Caron
is survived
by her brother, Charles W. (Patti) Simons
and sister-in-law, Helen Caron
Shields; her children Steve
(Ginger) Caron, Beth (Rob)
Marczynski, Doug (Patti)
Caron and Charley Caron; her
grandchildren, Haley (Robby)
Ramirez, Greer (Mike) Dzura,
Will (Ashlee) Caron, Blake
Caron, Saundra (Chris) CaronSmall, Asil Ingram, Sarah
(Michael) Marczynski-Frixen,
Kate (Craig) Gentry, Charlie
(Avery, fiance) Marczynski
and 5 great grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by
her husband of 50 years, Bob
Caron; sister-in-law, Mary
Harris; sister, Carol Currens
and her precious great grandchild, Kendall Ramirez.
Susan was the middle child,
born to parents Charles Edwin
Simons and Mary Amanda
Yeazell Simons, on April 28,
1937, in Austin, Texas. After
an academically average, but
socially stellar high school
career, Susan graduated from
North Dallas High School in 1955
and attended the University
of Oklahoma, pledging Chi
Omega fraternity Epsilon
Alpha Chapter. Susan was able
to fulfill a lifelong goal in 1977
by completing her bachelors
degree in History from Drake
University. While attending
the University of Oklahoma,
she met fellow Sooner, Bob
Caron. They were married on
April 19, 1958, in Dallas, Texas
and together raised 4 children. Susan was also mom
to Joan Fatchett, and later in
life, the Harris and Currens
cousins and countless dogs and
cats. In 1995, they settled in
Garnett, the childhood home
of Bobs mother Benita Acuff
Caron whose father Benjamin
F. Acuff had once been the
towns mayor. Susan quickly
began supporting her adopted hometown with involvement in the Prairie Spirit Rail
Trail, Chamber of Commerce,
Tourism Committee, AAUW
and BPW, among many other
organizations and committees. A lifelong republican,
she and Bob served as delegates from Anderson County
at the State Convention in
2000. She loved volunteering at
Anderson County Hospital, the
Historical Society, Cornstock,
and the County Fair. In the
summer of 2004, Susan won a
Grand Champion Blue Ribbon
when she and her grandson,
Charlie Marczynski, entered
their Caramel Taffy Apple
Pie in the county fairs Pie
Baking Contest. Susan was
an enthusiastic ambassador
for Garnett and was honored
when she and Bob were named
Grand Marshall at the Annual
Christmas Parade.
Known for her quick wit and
sense of humor, Susan had a
talent for putting people and
pets at ease; strangers became
friends and strays became
family. She always believed
her most important civic contribution was coordinating
Anderson Countys animal rescue efforts, founding a network
called Friends of Cats and
Dogs and was affectionately nicknamed Mimi Doolittle
because of her uncanny ability
to communicate with animals.
Her rescue efforts, however,
were not just limited to dogs
and cats. She was also a rescuer of vulnerable people, for-
gotten traditions and tarnished
objects. Her knack for making
everyone and everything that
crossed her path shine brightly
is a talent that will be missed
by all of us.
People often say that their
children are their life, but few
lived it as completely and with
as much joy as Susan. Mimi
Susie, as she was known to
her grandchildren, spent time
teaching them the thrill of
finding a rock shaped like a
heart and sharing her curiosity
about where a Jayhawk was
going when they found a tailfeather tucked in the branches
of a cedar tree. With a talent for
storytelling, Mimi Susie spun
tales and sparked the imagination of her grandchildren from
hundreds of natural trinkets
found near the North Lake
and along the Rail Trail. She
taught them to make smoked
pimento cheese, home-made
queso and melt-in-your-mouthbrisket with recipes that featured imprecise measurements
of hunks and chunks, bits
and bunches and directions
to give it a good squeeze or
add a glob. Susan relished
a strong cup of coffee, a stiff
scotch and soda, a good parade
float theme, Tex-Mex and margaritas and, of course, the spectacular Kansas sunsets. Mimi
Susie turned shopping at a
thrift store into a treasure hunt
almost always ending with a
splurge on soft serve ice cream
at Dairy Queen. She marveled at the white-hot embers
of a roaring fire inviting her
grandchildren and great nieces and nephews to watch it
closely because the sparks
made it look like it was winking. She also liked to wink.
Susan never took herself too
seriously, which was her secret
weapon. More than once, she
disarmed a committee meeting with well-researched facts
embedded in a persuasive and
humorous story, making life in
Garnett better, safer, and often,
a lot more fun!
Susan lived out personal axioms centered on being
kind. She felt like everyone in
a crowded room was a little-bit
self-conscious, so she always
introduced herself first, paving
the way for others to relax.
She had a legendary ability
to remember names, mostly
because she gave everyone a
nickname. Susan was also a
good secret-keeper and very
easy to talk to. Many folks
found themselves confiding
in her, sharing private tidbits
of information that they had
never before revealed to anyone. She believed most everything could be fixed with a safety pin or stitch-witchery; and a
glue-gun was one of the most
amazing tools ever invented.
Susan loved to throw parties
and host family holidays. She
created epic self-serve buffets
where guests enjoyed delicious
dishes and desserts in a home
decorated to rival those pictured in Country Living magazine. Her zest for life, love
for family and care of animals
are legacies that will proudly
be continued by her children,
grandchildren, and extended
family for generations to come.
The family will receive visitors on Friday May 6, 2022,
from 5-7 pm at Feuerborn
Family Funeral Service, 219
S. Oak Street, Garnett, KS.
On Saturday May 7, at 11:00
am, there will be a graveside
memorial service, officiated
by Father Jerry Williams of
St. Boniface Catholic Church.
Family and friends are invited
to gather at Garnett Municipal
Cemetery, 27554 NE Neosho
Road, Garnett, KS with a
reception afterward at The
Kirk House.
In lieu of flowers, donations
may be made to Prairie Paws

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, April 26, 2022
OPINION
Plan your Kansas red county vacation
Wallace County isnt woke enough to be
considered as a possible relocation point for
a new theme park should Disneys rift with
Florida legislators grow, but the home of Mount
Sunflower is still our top pick for the designation of 2022 Kansas Red County Vacation mecca.
Indeed, the 1,600 population conservative
bastion out on the way, way western border of
Kansas gets this years pick for the same reason it won last year for valiantly holding Joe
Biden to a paltry 44 votes in the 2020 election
and for notching the lowest electorate percentage for the Bumbler in Chief (5.7%) of any county in the God fearing, gun toting, sunrise loving
Sunflower State.
Wallace County, we salute you. And again
this year you lead the pack among the Kansas
Red County Vacation spots were endorsing for
the upcoming 2022 vacation season.
Just like a broader vacation opportunity
brings into focus the importance of red states
supporting red states this time of year, its
important that Kansas red counties support
our conservative brethren within our own
intrastate conserative landscapes. And with
Bidenflation racking our family budgets this
year, were all no doubt looking for a closer
and cheaper option for vacation 2022.
Kansas conservatives forget that were blessed to be able to travel to 100 of the states
105 counties to spend our daycation or full-on
vacation dollars without putting money in the
pockets of people who look at us as the ideological and cultural equivalent of bad clams.
Wonderful bed and breakfasts, interesting historic sites, cool natural features and just plain
entertaining characters are out there waiting to
greet you and they all live in places where the
majority of the residents vote like you do.
Forget the Kamikazee traffic and Abercrombie
envy of Johnson County; the pink hair and
fishhook facial piercing charm of Lawrence;
or the other dyed-in-blue locales of Shawnee,
Wyandotte or Riley counties. You can take a
day trip or even longer excursion this summer
to red voting counties in Kansas where the
residents believe wholeheartedly and unabashedly in the preservation of our republic. Indeed,
there are places not too far from you that offer
awesome rural scenery, some local unique and
interesting points of interest, a chicken fried
steak dinner for less than $8 and nary a glimpse
of a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker for miles
and miles.
Wallace County itself boasts Mount
Sunflower the single highest point of elevation
in all of Kansas. Theres also the Fort Wallace
Museum, denoting the Fightingest Fort In The
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
West, and exhibits of Custers 7th Cavalry,
barbwire folk art and Fox Stills artwork featuring that big giant T-Rex. Wallace voted 93
percent Republican in 2020.
Scott County came through nearly 86 percent
red in 2020. Theyve got Battle Canyon the
site of the last Indian battle in the state; theres
also Duffs Buffalo Ranch and Little Jerusalem
Badlands State Park and Monument Rocks.
Scott County is steeped in Kansas history and
nature and steeped in Kansas Red as well.
Kiowa County boasts the tornado-hammered-then-reborn City of Greensburg and an
84 percent Republican turnout for president in
2020, along with the worlds largest hand-dug
well, the Twilight Theater and the Silo Eco
Home Bed & Breakfast.
Dont forget Hamilton County, another wayway-way out there conservative Nirvana in
Western Kansas, with the amazing sand dunes
around Syracuse and their spectacular 81 percent red voting record.
Theres ultra cool Sun City in Barber County
(86 percent red) where theres an old bank
turned into a pheasant hunting resort hotel and
an awesome bar next door with the meanest
waitress west of K81; or the Concordia World
War II POW camp in Cloud County (76 percent red) or Coronado Heights Castle west of
Lindsborg in McPherson County (69 percent
red) or Kansas piece de resistance Cawker
Citys Worlds Largest Ball of Twine in Mitchell
County (80 percent).
Near or far, you can find your red destination
right here in the Sunflower State. Just Google it
or maybe have your kids or grandkids Google
it for you…
Indeed, Kansas cornucopia of conservative
vacationing lays itself out before you what are
you waiting for? ###

Ukranian farmers feed countrymen, dodge bullets
COMMENTARY
BRUCE SCHULTZ, VICE-PRESIDENT NFO
ABC News has reported that Ukrainian
producers, with the help of volunteers, have
begun to process crops and animals on their
farms and then transport food to residents
sheltered in cities. Amidst the chaos surrounding them, farmers are rising to the challenge. I
read a heartwarming story of how dairy farmer Andrii Pastushenko, who runs a 350-cow
dairy operation, has modified his dairy and
added a small processing plant. With the help
of his employees, they are able to make butter
and sour cream, and are packaging milk into
quart containers before delivering it to those
in need.
President Zelensky has requested those
farmers who took up arms against Russia
in the early days of the war now return
to their operations so spring planting can
begin. Zelensky has provided producers three
months to focus on farming to ensure Ukraine
has continued future food supplies. He has prioritized farmers, of course, because if people
are hungry, they will not have the physical
strength to continue the fight.
Over the course of history, farmers have
risen to the occasion to feed their fellow citizens. During both World Wars I and II, U.S.
farmers helped feed Europe. It was especially
important we provided food during World
War II, as European farm fields became battle grounds. At that time, many Ukrainians
starved, but todays leaders are enabling their
independent family farmers to do what they
do best, feed their war-torn country.
I think the Ukrainian agricultural situation is best summed up by potato farmer Nick
Gordiichuk, who farms 90 miles north of Kiev.
In the March 28 edition of Hoosier Ag Today he
said I think, just like in America, its in our

Elon Musk may save our culture a tweet at a time
A year after being named Time magazines
person of the year, Elon Musk is attempting to
acquire Twitter.
To listen to Musks critics, youd believe
its an act almost on par with Hitler invading
Poland not long after being named Times
man of the year in 1938.
A writer for the left-wing website Salon
worried that a Musk takeover of Twitter
would enable fascism in America. A New
York University journalism professor lamented that posting on Twitter with the threat
of Musk looming feels like partying at a
Berlin nightclub at the twilight of Weimar
Germany. Former Labor secretary Robert
Reich warned, This is what oligarchy looks
like. And so on.
A report for the news site Axios compared
Musk to a movie super-villain, and related -accurately — that journalists who break news
and opine on Twitter really dont want to be
working in Elon Musks private playpen.
No, they much prefer to be working in a
playpen whose ever-shifting rules — constantly changing to keep up with the latest progressive priorities — are written by the kind
of people who thought the story of Hunter
Bidens laptop should have been suppressed.
In their eyes, Elon Musk is guilty of a
thought crime — namely, believing that
thought should be free, and should be freely
expressed on a social media platform with
outsize influence on the nations public life.
Not too long ago, this would have been
considered a core American belief, especially
welcome to journalists whose work depends

I agree about the awning out on the highway by
the old gas station. Doesnt the city have some

Strange. No one gets fired from their job for saying anti-White things.
Just a note of encouragement. I dont know
The past eight weeks, our nation and the
world have watched Russias unjust war in
Ukraine unfold and progress. I believe for
many of us, it is truly hard to fathom what its
like on the ground. On February 24, as the first
missiles launched, I was amazed and disgusted that Russia would actually invade. Before
that time, I believe many of us hoped Vladimir
Putin was only sabre rattling.
Then, as the first few days of the war
progressed, I was uplifted by the people of
Ukraine as they rallied to the defense of their
country. Their spirit and courage have been
displayed in news footage as countrymen and
women of all ages do whatever they can to
repel the invaders. And another group of peopleUkrainian farmershave labored under
great hardship as they work night and day in
an attempt to feed the Eastern Slavic people.
Those farmers are under the duress of
not only war, but skyrocketing input costs
and severely limited markets. They worry
Russia may target farms and infrastructure,
which is vital to their agricultural production. Then Sunday, April 3, the Ukrainian
Interior Ministers office issued a statement
that Russia is indeed targeting food and fuel
storage facilities.
about you fellow Christians, but I had a problem
of great fear over Covid. I isolated myself, didnt
attend family functions, etc., even didnt attend
church until I said deary you dont have fear,
fear has you. We need to step out in faith. I
believe in being cautious but not obsessed. Fear
is one of Satans biggest tools I believe in taking

gram makes figuring out a better way for
people to share their opinions 280 characters
at time seem quite puny in comparison.
Musk is firmly in the tradition of great
American entrepreneurs whose audacious
vision, business acumen, and showmanship
have made them larger-than-life celebrities.
Think Thomas Edison.
They have usually been willing to think for
themselves, a quality now in short supply.
In todays America, world famous entrepreneurs and the companies that theyve created,
which are supposed to be all about innovation
and disruption, happily let themselves get
pulled along in the slipstream of progressive
group think.
Companies built on great risks are deathly afraid that they might have to weather a
critical hashtag or a tantrum by their woke
millennial employees.
People who would presumably object to
the government telling them what to say and
think are too willing to let free-floating social
media mobs effectively dictate to them.
Musk, a kind of libertarian who has a puckish
sense of humor and willingness to defy authority (just ask the SEC), rejects this thoughtless
and often cowardly conformity.
Like podcaster Joe Rogan, another recent
target of progressive ire, his fundamental
offense is being uncategorizable and willing
to question conventional wisdom. Like Dave
Chapelle and J.K. Rowling, he is too rich and
famous to be canceled or cowed — to be more

HISTORY
CHOICE…
FROM PAGE 1
transfers are seen as a hallmark of school choice.
If a compromise bill is
approved, heres how it likely
would work:
By January 2023, every
Kansas school district would
be required to establish enrollment capacity limits by grade
level and school building. By
May 1, districts would determine the number of open seats
at each grade level and would
publish them by June 1.
Students could apply to districts outside their residential
area if the other district
has space. If there are more
requests than open seats, districts would use a random lottery to fill them. In October,
the process would begin again
for the spring semester.
That allows school districts
to determine their own enrollment and capacity levels and
to go on record saying they
cant take in more students.
They would determine if
there was any room at the inn,
said Republican Sen. Molly
Baumgardner, chair of the
Senate Education Committee.
Districts wouldnt have to
accept students with histories
of absenteeism, suspensions
or expulsions. But they could
not deny students based on a
disability or special-education
status.
The states portion of education funding would follow the
student to the new district.
Republican Rep. Sean
Tarwater, a member of the
House K-12 Budget Committee
who supports open enrollment,
said boundaries based on a students address create academic
segregation.
One of the things that we
hear is Why doesnt the student just move into a better
district if they want a better
school? Unfortunately, homes
or apartments in some of the
better districts are unattainable for most of the families
that live in the districts that
might be failing, Tarwater
said. This bill simply allows
those children to have a choice
and a chance.
Supporters point to declining test scores as evidence of
struggling districts and the
nearby schools they might flee
to.
In Kansas City, Kansas, for
instance, more than two-thirds
of students scored below grade
level in math last spring. In
nearby Blue Valley, only 16%
scored below grade level half
the state average.
At Heights High School
in northeast Wichita, more
than 72% of students scored
below grade level in math. At
Andover Central High School,
about 15 miles away in a different district, only 22% scored
below grade level.
But the open enrollment
proposal doesnt require districts to provide transportation
for transfer students. So opponents say only wealthier parents will take advantage of the
option, snagging any available
spots in high-achieving districts because they can afford
to drive their kids to school.
That could leave struggling
urban districts in even worse
shape, critics say, with a great-
er percentage of high-need students and less state funding.
This bill creates two tiers,
said Sen. Cindy Holsher, a
Democrat from Overland Park.
We have children (whose)
parents have the means to get
them maybe an hour away to
another school. But there are a
number of children in districts
who dont have that advantage.
Many suburban superintendents oppose open enrollment
in part because they say local
taxpayers shouldnt have to
subsidize out-of-district students.
Blue Valley is among the
highest-performing districts
in Kansas indeed competing nationally and, as
such, would find our districts
overwhelmed with requests
from non-residents, Blue
Valley Superintendent Tonya
Merrigan said in written testimony to the Senate Education
Committee.
Without intending to sound
elitist, it is nonetheless true
that housing costs in our districts often provide a check on
resident student growth.
In Andover, some residents
complained on social media
that an influx of outside students would increase traffic
and pollution and deteriorate
the districts sense of community.
Sen. Renee Erickson, a
Wichita Republican, called
those arguments elitist.
Based on what the superintendents said, I think its very
clear, Erickson said. We
want our high socioeconomic
status to remain. Were born
on third and think we hit a triple, and we dont want anyone
interfering with that.
Under the House bill, districts would get to define
the term capacity and set
their own capacity limits.
The Kansas State Board of
Education would audit only
one district each year to determine whether they complied
with the law.
About 20,000 Kansas students currently attend schools
outside their district. More
than 90% of districts reported
accepting at least some outof-district students. Andover,
for example, allows children
of full-time district employees
to enroll in Andover schools
regardless of where they live.
White, the Andover superintendent, said open enrollment
would be a logistical nightmare. He said its hard enough
to predict enrollment trends
within his district, which has
grown steadily for the past
decade.
Setting new capacity guidelines, handling applications
and then readjusting for latecomers possibly having to
hire additional teachers just
before school starts would be
an unnecessary burden, White
said.
We have a system that
works, he said. Why would
Topeka want to create a whole
new bureaucracy for us at the
local level?

AAA: Its not the phone alone distracting drivers on the road
WICHITA, Kan. April 13, 2022
Given that April is Distracted
Driving Awareness Month,
AAA wants motorists to be
aware that, despite perceptions
to the contrary, cellphones
are not to blame for many of
the fatal crashes involving a
distracted driver. This is not
to say that cellphones are not
a significant and potentially
deadly distraction, but many
other distractions are also
cause for concern.
AAA-Distracted-Driving.
pngAccording to the latest
federal crash data, confirmed
smartphone use accounts for
about 12 percent of all fatal
crashes involving a distracted
driver. Although it is widely
accepted that distracted driving crashes caused by cellphone
use are highly underreported,
the data clearly indicates there
are many other distractions
that warrant our attention as
well.
There is no doubt that
drivers are uniquely and dramatically distracted by their
phones but AAA wants to take
this moment to remind drivers
that the list of other distracting behaviors is long. Too long.
And too many lives are being
lost as a result, said Shawn
Steward, AAA Kansas spokesman.
In fact, there are 18 possible causes of distracted driving listed on the standardized
crash reporting forms investigators are required to fill out
– and only three of them refer
to a mobile phone. Other distractions include those caused
by passengers, drivers adjusting climate or audio controls,
reaching for something, eating
or drinking and distracting
activity outside the vehicle,
such as a crash scene.
An analysis of data from the
Virginia Tech Transportation
Institute
by
the
AAA
Foundation for Traffic Safety
(AAAFTS) revealed that taking
your eyes off the road for more
than two seconds doubles your
risk of a crash.
By the numbers
Fatalities on our nations
roadways have jumped dramatically in the last few years.
Due to incomplete and
likely underreported data, no
one knows exactly how many
fatal crashes are caused by
driver distraction. However,
the National Highway Traffic
Safety
Administration
(NHTSA) estimates that driver
distraction is a factor in almost
9 percent of fatal crashes.
Analysis of the latest
data from NHTSAs Fatality
Analysis Reporting System
(FARS) found that:
In 2020, there were more
than 3,000 people killed in
motor vehicle crashes involving drivers reported by the
police as distracted.
Of those killed in crashes reported as involving a
distracted driver, almost 20%
were between the ages of 25-35.
Pedestrian Deaths
Pedestrian deaths are skyrocketing nationally, and distracted
driving has been identified as a
contributing factor in many of
those crashes.
In 2020, there were 480
pedestrians, 83 cyclists, and 14
other non-occupants killed in
crashes that involved a driver
who was reported to be distracted.
And, in the first six months of
2021, the latest data available,
pedestrian deaths nationwide
increase by 17% over the same
period the year before.
Dont Drive Intexticated
While the phone alone is not
to blame for many of the dis-
tracted driving fatalities, there
are still hundreds of lives lost
each year because someone felt
the need to answer a call, send
a text or read an email. In its
annual survey about driver
behaviors – the Traffic Safety
Culture Index the AAAFTS
found:
about 25 percent of drivers
surveyed report typing or sending a text message or email
within the past month
more than 1 in 3 report
reading a text or email while
driving within the past month
This is why AAA launched
its Dont Drive Intexticated
campaign in 2019, reminding
all drivers that just as they
would not drive intoxicated,
driving intexticated is also a
risk.intexticated infographic
mom.JPG
AAA is urging drivers to put
their phones down, look up and
limit ALL distractions.
Slow Down, Move Over
Distracted drivers are unlikely
to see first responders working
at the roadside. Move Over
laws exist in all 50 states and while the laws vary from state
to state – generally speaking,
drivers are required to slow
down and move over a lane any
time there is a first responder working at the roadside. In
Kansas, this includes police,
fire, ambulances, tow vehicles,
KDOT or construction workers, utility vehicles and waste
vehicles.
It seems fitting that
Distracted Driving Awareness
Month intersects this week
with National Work Zone
Awareness Week because distracted driving puts those who
work at the roadside at greater
risk, AAA Kansas Steward
noted. But the growing number of lives lost clearly illustrates that distracted driving
in all its forms needs greater
attention year round.
AAA Tips to Eliminate
Distracted Driving
Fully focus on driving. Do
not let anything divert your
attention, actively scan the
road, use your mirrors and
watch out for pedestrians and
cyclists.
Put aside your electronic distractions. Dont use cell
phones while driving handheld or hands-free except in
absolute emergencies. Never
use text messaging, email
functions, video games or the
internet with a wireless device,
including those built into the
vehicle, while driving.
Activate your phones Do
Not Disturb feature while you
are driving.
Make adjustments before
you get underway. Address
vehicle systems like your GPS,
seats, mirrors, climate controls
and sound systems before hitting the road. Decide on your
route and check traffic conditions ahead of time.
If you have passengers,
enlist their help so you can
focus safely on driving.
If another activity demands
your attention, instead of trying to attempt it while driving, pull off the road and stop
your vehicle in a safe place. To
avoid temptation, power down
or stow devices before heading
out.
As a general rule, if you
cannot devote your full attention to driving because of some
other activity, its a distraction.
Take care of it before or after
your trip, not while behind the
wheel.
By Tim Potter, KDOT Public
Affairs Manager
Ever found yourself driving in a Kansas Department of
Transportation highway work
zone and noticing that others
seem oblivious to the reduced
posted speed limit?
Why do people speed in work
zones despite the life-anddeath risks and even when
they can face higher fines?
What excuses do they give?
We asked four Kansas
Highway Patrol troopers scattered across the state, and
heres what they told us:
Theyre late to work is the
number one excuse I get, said
KHP Lt. Cory Beard, who works
in the Kansas City metro area.
Other excuses Beard hears:
They didnt see the lower-speed
signs. Their GPS program on
their phone didnt tell them the
speed was lowered because of
the work zone.
How fast do they go in work
zones? I stopped a couple of
90s last year on K-10, early one
morning while using speed-de-
tection equipment, Beard said.
Although the posted speed limit
had been reduced to 55 mph or
so, Beard recalled, They knew
exactly what they were doing
when going around 90. Some
people just flat out dont obey
the speed limit sign.
One morning last year, in
the middle of a busy bridge
construction zone on K-10 at
DeSoto, Beard spotted a Ford
F-250 truck zipping along at
80. After he stopped the driver
and approached him, the man
was very argumentative,
Beard recalled. The man contended that the GPS program
on his phone said there wasnt
a reduced speed limit. When
Beard offered to escort the man
back through the work zone
so the man could see the signs
with the lower speed limit, the
man declined. Beard issued him
a ticket.
Technical Trooper Tiffany
(Bush) Baylark, who also works
in the Kansas City metro area,
said work zone speeders often
tell her they didnt see construc-
tion occurring nothing going
on so they didnt think they
had to slow down, or so they
say.
Baylark explained to them
that even though it appeared
that work wasnt underway,
a work zone often means that
driving lanes have been shifted, sometimes moving two-way
traffic closer together, sometimes adjusting traffic partly
onto a shoulder, where tires
roll on different types of pavement. Overall, the traffic flow is
altered and constricted, so there
is no room for error, and it
makes sense to slow down, she
tells them.
Technical Trooper Chad
Crittenden, who works in the
Wichita area, said he often
hears this: Well, there was
nobody working in the construction zone. And this: I
just didnt see the signs. Which
tells him, he said, People are
just not paying attention.
Example: When he is checking the speed of vehicles, visible
in his patrol car, passing speed-
ers will wave at him while driving 15 to 20 mph over the limit.
They dont even process that
theyre in a construction zone.
Construction workers in a
work zone are particularly vulnerable, he said, because they
have to work close to the traffic
while concentrating on a task,
like cutting concrete. Theyre
basically relying on the motoring public to not be drunk,
drowsy and distracted as they
drive through.
Technical Trooper Michael
Racy, who covers the southwestern part of the state, said:
The feedback I get from drivers (caught speeding in work
zones), most of them will just
say, Im keeping up with the
flow of traffic. And the other
excuse I hear a lot is, I didnt
know I was in a construction
zone.
Yet, Racy said, KDOT has
plenty of signs out posting the
lower speed limit. Everybody
knows theres a construction
zone or should.
To sum it up, we asked troop-
ers why its important not to
speed in construction zones:
Lt. Candice Breshears, a
KHP spokeswoman, put it this
way: Throughout a construction zone, whether crews are
working or not, the speed limit
is what is posted. Its important
to always pay attention because
the roadways can change
throughout construction zones.
Even if there are no workers
present that you notice, the
company could be moving
equipment, or the speed limit
could be for your safety, such
as if there is a drop-off between
lanes. We also remind motorists
that fines can be doubled in construction zones.
Lt. Beard: I understand: You
all have places to go. But just
go the speed limit. We all have
somebody we want to go home
to. We just want everybody to
take it safe and get to their destination.
Trooper Racy: The KDOT
workers and work zone workers have families. Their lives
are important too. If you are
speeding, you have less time to
react.
Thats the human side of speeding in work zones. What do the
statistics show? Two speed-related situations following too
closely and driving too fast for
conditions — were among the
top five contributing circumstances in work zone crashes
from 2009 through 2021, according to KDOT.
Here are some key findings
among the data:
Since 2009, 74 people have
died in work zone crashes.
Of the 74 who died, 68 were
motorists, and six were pedestrians. In 2021, there were 1,182
total work zone crashes. Six
of the crashes were fatal, and
265 involved injuries. Among
work zone crashes last year,
seven people died, and 368 were
injured.
The highest number of work
zone crashes since 2009: 2,145
in 2016.
The highest number of work
zone crash deaths during that
period: 12 in 2017.

AC shuts out Wellsville No-hitter highlights
WELLSVILLE The Anderson
County Bulldogs shut out
Wellsville 7-0 in the opener
before the late game was postponed with a make-up time yet
to be announced.
In the opening game shutout, Derek Rockers pitched all
7 innings, allowed just 3 hits
and struck out 8.
Rockers helped himself at
the plate collecting 3 hits in 4 at
bats and driving in 3 runs.
Kyle Belcher and Preston
Kueser each picked up a pair of
hits on the day as well.
AC Bulldogs finish
1st at Humboldt
HUMBOLDT Neodesha was
no match for the Bulldogs in
the opening round of their
tournament on Friday before
the Bulldogs took down the
host Humboldt Cubs to win the
Humboldt Invitational.
AC clobbered Neodesha 24-1.
The score was 14-1 heading into
the top of the fifth inning when
the Bulldogs erupted for 10
more to account for their total.
Anderson County scored
their 24 runs on 15 hits and 3
Humboldt errors. Another 20
hitters reached base via walks,
13 of them in the game, or hit
by pitch (seven).
Derek Rockers led all hitters
with 3 hits in 5 at bats, scoring
1 run and driving in 3.
Braxton Spencer, Dallas
Kueser, AJ Schaffer, Colten
Wittman and Dalton Kellerman
all picked up 2 hits in the game.
In the championship game,
Anderson County toppled
Humboldt 7-3. It was the Cubs
first loss of the season.
Anderson County garnered
a little bit of breathing room
in the top of the third inning.
The score was 1-1 before the
Bulldogs scored 4 times for a
5-1 advantage.
Garrison Martin hit a 3-run
triple in that key 4th inning.
Schaffer led the team with 3
hits and also drove in a pair of
runs.
Kellerman pitched 6 2/3
innings, allowing 8 hits, 2
earned runs and struck out 6
batters.
The win was the 10th straight
win for Anderson County since
their season opening defeat.
Bulldog golf fares well
in tough tournaments
The Anderson County
Mens golf team had 2 big tournaments last week. Tuesday
they played at Osawatomie
golf course against 15 other
teams including some bigger 5A schools. The Bulldogs
didnt fare as well as some of
our earlier tournaments, but
received a couple individual
medals. This was such a big
tournament that they medaled
20 individuals Instead of 10.
I was very excited for
Carter Blome shooting an 86
and placing 14th and teammate
Eli Martin was right behind
him with an 87 and placing
16th, Coach Nicole Wiehl stated.
Thursday the team played
at Sycamore Ridge in Spring
Hill, a more difficult course
and another tournament mostly of 5A and 6A schools.
Golfers from the larger
schools are used to playing
courses like this, so I was very
proud of our team for trying
their best and not giving up.
Lane Richards played smart
golf and finished with an
impressive 78, Wiehl stated.
Richards placed 7th with
only 6A golfers in front of him
on the leaderboard.
The teams next tournament
will at Ottawa on May 2nd. The
Bulldog golfers will have this
week to work on their skills
to hopefully get another team
medal.
Weather ends meet early,
Vikings compete well
At the largest regular season meet we attend each year,
the Waverly meet (held in
Burlington) was a great test for
all of our athletes in more ways
than one, Coach Troy Prosser
stated.
Every attending school was
battling unseasonably cold and
inclement weather the entire
day until thunder and lightning finally turned delays into
a cancellation with two events
left to run.
What we were able to
accomplish, however, shows
that our athletes are continuing to compete and improve
each week. Eight more personal records and another season
best were the clear highlights
of the day. Lily and Cody had
significant drops in their times
in the 800 (eight and six seconds respectively) while the
girls as a whole had a very
successful day in the throws.
Its hard to believe that we have
now crossed the midpoint of
the season, but as the bests
keep coming, the excitement
for whats next will continue to
build, Prosser concluded.
NOTE
The meet was canceled
before the 3200m and 4×400
relays were run.

Lancer sweep
COLONY Crest cruised to
a another pair of wins last
Monday, April 18 with a sweep
of NE-Arma.
In the opener the Lancers
rolled 15-0 in 3 innings, highlighted by a no-hitter by Trevor
Church.
Church pitched 3 innings,
struck out 8 and didn't allow a
hit.
Offensively Church was one
of the stars of the game as well
picking up 2 hits in 2 at bats,
scoring 2 runs and driving in 3.
Jack White led the team
with 4 runs batted in and also
scored 3 times.
The late game was a 12-2 win
for the Lancers, highlighted by
5 runs in the bottom of the sixth
to bring the game to an end due
to the 10-run rule.
Stetson Setter was 2 for 3 in
the game and provided the big
play of the evening with a home
run, driving in 4 runs and scoring 4 runs.
Setter also pitched in relief,
pitching 2 innings of shut out
baseball by striking out 6 of the
7 batters he faced.
Church pitcher pitches
2nd straight no-hitter Lancers remain perfect
COLONY Lancer pitcher
Trevor Church pitched his second straight no-hitter in the
opening game of the doubleheader against Pleasanton to
help his team to a sweep of the
Blu-Jays.
Church pitched 5 innings,
struck out 9 and didn't walk a
hitter. His lone mistake was a
hit batter to keep it from being
a perfect game.
Offensively Stetson Setter
hit his second home run in
as many games to lead the
Lancers. Setter finished the
game with 2 hits in 3 at bats,
scored twice and drove in three
runs.
In the late game, Crest
downed Pleasanton 16-3 in 5
innings.
Avery Blaufuss and Rogan
Weir were the only Lancers
with 2 hits in the contest. Weir
led the team with 3 runs driven
in on the night.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, April 26, 2022
Do you seek Gods
face or hand?
In 2nd Chronicles 7:14 the
Lord spoke to Solomon and
said; If my people, who are
called by my name, will humble
themselves and pray and seek
my face and turn from their
wicked ways, then will I hear
from heaven and will forgive
their sin and will heal their
land. God gives Solomon the
conditions which he requires
for forgiveness. This is a very
rich text and one statement
strikes me as very important.
God says, Pray and seek my
face. I wonder how many of us
truly seek Gods face? I believe
we seek more the hand of God
than his face. We pray to God
to help us with our problems or
change our situation. We want
the hand of God to intervene
when we need help. For some
God doesnt become involved
until they have exhausted all
options on their own then a
prayer is offered.
I dont believe this is what
God had in mind. You see we
cannot seek the face of God
by merely sending a random
prayer toward heaven. Seeking
Gods face leads to a change in
behavior. What God is saying
is if you are going to seek my
face, if you really want me to
turn and look at you, then turn
from your wicked ways. The
pursuit of God by man when he
is living in sin without compulsion to change is futile.
God tells Solomon if the
people turn from their sin he
will hear their prayers. Is God
saying here if we dont turn
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
from our sin he will not hear
our prayers? I dont know but
it is worth thinking about. In
Isaiah 59:2 we read, But your
iniquities have separated you
from your God; your sins have
hidden his face from you, so
that he will not hear.
I ask the question? Why
should God send a blessing
in the form of an answered
prayer that may allow us to
continue to live in iniquity?
When you or I sin we break
our fellowship with God and
we know God hates sin. But
we also know he forgives sins.
In Isaiah 43:25 we read; I even
I, am he blots out your transgressions, for my own sake,
and remembers your sins no
more. So what must we do to
seek Gods face? We must pray,
For the eyes of the Lord are on
the righteous and his ears are
attentive to their prayer, but
the face of God is against those
who do evil. 1st Peter 3:12

In your car when severe weather strikes?
WICHITA – Its severe weather
season. As many people in this
part of the country are aware,
strong thunderstorms and even
tornadoes can strike quickly
and fiercely. Dangerous, damaging storms can catch motorists on the roads, so AAA
Kansas urges drivers and their
passengers to be prepared and
take appropriate safety precautions should they encounter
severe weather while traveling
in a vehicle.
Storms
are
common
throughout the spring and
summer, so chances are, drivers will face storm-related challenges while in their vehicles,
said Shawn Steward, AAA
Kansas spokesman. A vehicle
can either be very dangerous
or a place of safety, depending on the weather conditions.
The key is being prepared for
severe weather and reacting
the right way to what Mother
Nature throws at you.
Heavy Rain and Flooding
Heavy downpours make it
difficult to see while driving.
AAA Kansas recommends regularly changing windshield
wiper blades to keep drivers
views as clear as possible. If
visibility is severely limited
during heavy rain, drivers
should reduce their speed and
if they can safely do so, pull
off the road out of traffic lanes,
turn on flashing hazard lights,
and wait until the rain lightens.
Drivers should be reminded that its Kansas law that
if windshield wipers are on,
headlights should be as well.
Headlights can help divers see
better but also allow their vehicle to be seen by other drivers.
Pooling water on roadways can cause hydroplaning
and loss of vehicle control, so
motorists should reduce their
speeds during rainy conditions. Roadways completely
covered by water are a particular danger.
Avoid driving into floodwater, warned AAA Kansas
Steward. Flooding causes
more deaths than any other
storm-related event, and many
of those deaths occur in vehicles. As little as 12 inches of
moving water can sweep most
vehicles off the road. The slogan Turn around, dont drown
is an important one to remember and follow.
Hail
Hailstorms hit with little
warning and usually only last
for about five minutes, but hailstones frozen pellets of rain
can cause major damage in that
short period of time.
There were nearly 3,800
major hailstorms in the U.S.
in 2021, with more than 300
second most in the nation
occurring in Kansas, according
to the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA). Most hailstones are
about the size of a pea or marble, but they can get as large as
a softball in a severe storm.
Hail of most any size can
dent your car, and larger stones
can smash your windows,
said Gary Tomes, Insurance
Manager for AAA Kansas.
And this is not an uncommon occurrence in Kansas.
Fortunately, hail damage to
a vehicle is covered by your
comprehensive auto insurance
policy, which covers physical
damage to your vehicle not
caused by a collision.
To protect your car from
hail storms, park your car in
a covered spot whenever possible.
If youre in your car when
a hailstorm hits and see a safe
place close-by, such as a highway overpass or gas station
or bank awning, drive to it as
soon as you can. If no shelter
is available and hail becomes
large enough to cause damage,
stop driving and pull off the
road completely. Move away
from car windows and cover
your head with your arms and
hands to protect yourself from
any breaking glass.

the United States and severely
injuring hundreds more.
If you are caught outside
during a thunderstorm, seek
shelter in a hard-topped vehicle, or a low area, such as a
tunnel. If you are already in
your car when a lightning
storm begins, stay in the vehicle for shelter, but steer clear
of fences, isolated trees, telephone poles, power lines and
pipelines.
Lightning-caused damage
to a vehicle is typically covered under the comprehensive portion of an auto insurance policy, said AAA Kansas
Insurances Tomes.
Thunderstorms can sometimes have other impacts to
vehicles, including:
Damage caused by falling
trees due to high winds. This
kind of damage is typically covered by standard auto insurance policies. However, if the
tree was known to be weak
before the storm, the damage
may not be covered.

a lightning storm can cause
damage to cars. Insurance
coverage for wildfire, even if
caused by lightning, is included in the comprehensive coverage of an auto insurance policy.
Tornadoes
NOAA reports that the
United States is the most tornado-prone country in the
world, with about 1,000 tornadoes touching down each year.
There were 1,377 documented
tornadoes in the United States
46 in Kansas in 2021.
Tornado warnings mean
danger is imminent. If a tornado is sighted, move to the safest
place possible.
If you are in your car and
a tornado is close, abandon
the vehicle and seek shelter
in a storm shelter or sturdy
structure, said AAA Kansas
Steward. As a last resort, if
no structure is nearby, take
shelter in your vehicle seatbelt buckled; duck down below
windows; cover up with a blanket to protect you from glass/
debris; and protect your head
with your arms.
Also when taking cover
from a tornado, stay away from
trees, signs or cars/machinery and avoid seeking shelter
where they could fall on or
blow over onto you. Most tornadoes travel southwest to northeast, so take that into account
when taking shelter.
Finally, never seek shelter
from a tornado under a highway overpass or bridge, as tornadic winds can be made stronger and create a wind-tunnel
effect, putting you in danger of
being swept away or killed or
injured by flying debris.
Emergency Kit
AAA recommends that motorists create a spring/summer
severe weather emergency kit
to carry in their cars. The kit
should include items such as
nonperishable food/snacks
and water, tool kit, flashlight,
hand-crank or battery-powered radio, extra batteries, cell
phone and charger, first-aid
supplies, flares or reflectors,
rain coat or poncho, a towel or
blanket, and rain boots or an
extra pair of shoes.

Just 20% of couples make long-term financial decisions together
BPT – Should married women and
men be equally involved in longterm financial decisions? Your
answer is likely a resounding yes!
The problem is, although everyone
agrees a joint financial approach is
best for spouses, its rarely happening in reality.
According to the 2021 Own
Your Worth report from UBS,
the worlds largest global wealth
manager, nearly 100% of women
and men believe women should be
more involved in long-term financial decisions, such as investing,
financial planning and estate planning. Whats more, women and
men overwhelmingly believe that
unless women are equally involved
in these decisions, there will never
be true gender equality.
Despite these strong beliefs,
in heterosexual marriages, men
continue to manage most of the
finances. Seven in 10 men say they
take the lead on long-term financial decisions, often believing they
know more about long-term finances than their spouse. But theres
good news: Among men who take
the lead, nine in 10 wish their
spouse was more involved in longterm financial decisions.
Both women and men agree that
making long-term financial decisions together would increase their
confidence in the future, minimize
financial mistakes and reduce anx-
iety about money. Currently, only
about 20% of couples make longterm financial decisions together.
Surprisingly, this is even more
common in younger couples. Prior
to marriage, 88% of millennial
women plan to share long-term
financial decisions equally or take
the lead. But after marriage, only
15% of millennial women make
these decisions together. Fifty-one
percent defer to their spouses more than any other generation.
The importance of equal spousal participation is something that
became clear the moment that John
had an unexpected heart attack at
age 34.
It dawned on me while I was
sitting on a hospital gurney thinking I was going to die that my
wife doesnt know where most of
our investments are, he said. Im
using my last breaths to tell her
exactly where the funding is.
Fortunately, John survived and
he and his wife, Chris, learned an
important lesson. They now communicate regularly about finances
and have everything documented
in writing. This gives them both
confidence in the future no matter
what happens.

When couples participate
equally in long-term decisions,
they feel greater confidence in

How to live BIG in your backyard this summer
(BPT) – The sun is shining, a warm
breeze is blowing and you're itching
to get outside. You finally step out the
door, and what do you see? A vast,
empty space with untapped potential.
When it comes to designing your backyard staycation station for the summer,
you want to make a BIG statement.
After all, this is the place where you can
be the hostess with the mostest, ready
to mix up some margs at a moment's
notice or mingle late into the night by
firelight. Patio and outdoor spaces can
be tricky to style and decorate, which is
why Big Lots has created a step-by-step
guide to deck out your backyard this
summer.
Step 1: Maximize value and comfort
The foundation of any space is furniture. Determining which outdoor
furniture to purchase is as simple as

viewing it as an extension of your living space. Think about how it will be
used and how many people will use it.
Create different vignettes and focus
on "moments" you want to create in
your space. Perhaps you want a cozy
little spot for a fire pit. Or maybe you're
planning on hosting a neighborhood
potluck around a massive outdoor
dining table. Catching some poolside
rays will require some lounge chairs
with, of course, a side table to hold
your vacation drinks. Gazebos, sofas,
tables, chairs, swings and matching
coolers are all important pieces to consider when designing your space. And
because this furniture will be outside
and exposed to the elements, don't forget to look for items that are trendy
AND affordable.

Step 2: Light up your night
To fully maximize use of your outdoor space, you'll next need to focus on
lighting. And if you've ever wondered
to yourself: am I fancy enough for an
outdoor chandelier? The answer is yes.
You can also try mixing and matching
candle-lit statement lanterns to give
chill vibes to all who come by. Another
option would be to create a focal point
with a fire pit, which comes in all forms
these days, from grand outdoor fireplaces to smokeless metal drums and
classy table centerpieces. If you want
to set the mood while keeping the bugs
away, hang up some string lights and
the bugs will fly high as you lie low.
Step 3: Delight in the details
Now we've arrived at the really fun
part – decorating your new space. Some
of the top trends in backyard accent
dcor themes right now include bohemian, farmhouse, coastal and mid-century. Regardless of the theme you
choose, one of the first elements that
will tie your space together is an outdoor rug. The brighter the pattern, the
better! Since this will live outside, we're
looking for big patterns and splashes
of color to hide big splashes of dirt.
Once you've got your theme and your
color scheme, work in some oversized
planters, stylish accent pillows, a scalloped umbrella, durable dining ware
and even some low-maintenance but
impressive faux plants for the finishing
touch.

Eco-friendly home improvements that can help save you money
(BPT) – Today's home improvements aren't just about updating your
home to make it more functional.
Many homeowners are making strategic improvements that also help green
their home and boost its resale value.
One of the best places to start is also
one of the most frequented rooms in
the house: the bathroom.
Eco-friendly improvements help
save money on utility bills, but that's
just the start. Green updates help you
feel good about your impact on the
earth, helping you eliminate water
waste, use less energy and reduce use
of toxic chemicals.
What's more, green home improvements are in high demand in real
estate, meaning your home can command a higher price at resale. Over
half of agents and brokers found that
consumers were interested in sustainability when shopping for a home,
according to a 2021 report by the
National Association of Realtors.
Bathrooms are one of the best places
to make green updates that streamline
use and reduce waste because they
make your home more comfortable
and they get noticed if you decide to
sell. For example, toilets can be huge
water-wasters, but a simple update can
provide significant savings.
1) Opt for water-saving toilets
Dual-flush toilet systems are a modern option that lets you choose how
much water is used when you flush
based on if there is liquid or solid matter that needs disposal. Update your
current bathrooms with dual-flush
models, and to add even more value to
your home, add a new bathroom that
features this water-saving toilet.
With modern technology, you can
install a bathroom virtually anywhere. Saniflo has created innovative,
eco-friendly, above-floor plumbing
technology that allows for quick and
easy installation with minimal hassle
and mess. Highly focused on sustainability, these macerators and grinders
work throughout a home, including
on a second story, in a basement, in a
garage or in a structure that sits on a
slab, like a shed that would traditionally require concrete cutting to create
below-floor drainage.
For example, the Sanicompact can
be used to add a small guest bathroom
in an existing space without drilling
through concrete, which saves materials and reduces waste. The dual-flush
feature flushes waste with 1.28 gallons
per flush and liquids with 1 gallon. The
Saniaccess 3 macerating unit paired
with the company's water-saving
rear-discharge toilet is ideal for full
bathrooms, using a smaller amount
of water than conventional toilets:
1.28 versus 1.6 gallons per flush with
no sacrifice in flushing power. It is
also recognized as water-saving by the
EPA's WaterSense program.
Dino and Beth Gregorich of San
Diego, California, opted for the
Sanicompact that helped them transform a storage shed behind their
swimming pool into a half-bath and
changing room without breaking
through concrete. Saniflo toilets and
self-contained macerating units are

"You can use light flush with less
water and a full flush with more,"
he explains. "In San Diego, we pay a
fortune for water, so we try to save
as much as possible. Ultra-low-flush,
high-efficiency toilets are very important here."
2) Switch to energy-efficient lighting
In addition to upgrading the toilet, there are other important steps
you can take to green the bathroom.
Natural light and energy-efficient
lighting are two practical and environmentally friendly ways to light the
bathroom.
To start, swap out all light bulbs
for long-lasting, energy-efficient LED
bulbs. Then, consider opportunities
for adding more natural light, such
as a skylight that allows light in without sacrificing privacy. Depending on
the type of skylight you select, this
upgrade can provide solar heating,
better ventilation, and reduce mildew
and mold growth.
3) Use natural materials
Finally, to truly green your bathroom, it's important to be mindful
about using natural materials and
avoiding VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that are toxic to the environment. Popular eco-friendly products
include glass, reclaimed wood, metal,
bamboo, cork and porcelain. When
choosing your materials, consider
whether the materials will serve a
long-lasting purpose and can eventually be recycled.

4 essential spring lawn care tasks
(BPT) – With spring on our doorstep, many homeowners are looking
forward to spending time in their
yards – but not before doing some
spring cleanup. In a recent survey
by TruGreen*, at least one-quarter of
2,000 survey respondents plan to start
spring cleanup in March; April is the
second-most popular month. In addition, a number of outdoor tasks are
at the top of homeowners' to-do lists
this year, including: mowing the lawn
(46%); raking leaves (43%); pruning
bushes (40%); gardening and planting
trees/shrubs (39%); pest control (39%);
and weeding (37%).
Although spring cleanup can seem
daunting – with 68% of respondents
agreeing that their spring cleanup
always feels overwhelming – TruGreen,
the nation's leading lawn care provider, breaks down the list of top tasks to
help you take it one step at a time. You
may even be surprised by how quickly
your lawn springs to life.
Clean up debris
Use a rake to remove dead leaves,
sticks, twigs and matted grass. If left
on the ground, this layer of plant detritus can smother your lawn, leaving
dead patches in your yard. Clearing
this debris also makes way for lawn
treatments, if necessary, to further
improve your outdoor space.
Pro Tip: To protect your lawn from
damage, rake when the ground is not
soft, wet or muddy.
Beat the weeds
Weeds can be a huge nuisance for
homeowners, and it's important to
fight these off early.
"Although keeping weeds at bay
can be an ongoing chore, partnering
with a lawn care specialist, such as
TruGreen, can help alleviate this burden," says Brian Feldman, director of
technical operations at TruGreen. "Get
an expert assessment of your weed
problem and develop a tailored treatment plan early to help you achieve a
weed-free yard."
Pro Tip: Get a jump on weeds early
to prevent them from becoming stubborn problems in the future.
Cut the grass
After a long, dormant winter, your
lawn deserves a new spring cut, so
tune up that mower and get ready to
manicure your blades of glory. Wait
until grass is about three inches long
and the ground isn't soft. Most grass
should be kept at least two inches tall
– as longer, thicker turf helps combat
weeds and conserve
water in the soil.
Plus, grass that is cut
too short lets in more
sunlight, which can
give room for weeds
to seize the day and
germinate.
Pro Tip: Avoid
cutting the lawn too
short in dry weather. The grass tends
to develop shallow
roots, making the
lawn susceptible to
drought stress.
"Our survey found
that 62% of homeowners will hire a
professional to complete their outdoor
spring cleanup," said
Feldman. "Not only
will this help complete all your tasks,
but it can ensure a

a fresh coat of paint is an easy and
affordable way to transform any room
in your home. Nature-inspired colors
such as lush greens, clarifying blues
and earthy neutrals like taupes, beiges
and warm whites are continuing to
rise in popularity for the serene and
centered feeling they bring to a space.
When tackling a paint project, be sure
to choose a high-performance sealant
like Alex Ultra, which is paint-ready
in just 15 minutes and designed to
shrink less than any latex sealant
on the market for a more durable,
long-lasting seal that won't crack or
lose adhesion after painting. This sealant is ideal for providing professional
results, regardless of who's applying it.
Replace hardware on cabinets,
drawers and more
If you have builder-grade hardware
throughout your home, you'd be surprised by the impact simply switching
in new pieces can have on the overall
look of a room. Cabinet knobs and
drawer pulls come in dozens of styles
and colors, so no matter what style
or function you're looking for, you'll
definitely find something that will
bring an inexpensive but fresh look
to your space. Plus, the only tool you
need for this job is a screwdriver. New
hardware on kitchen cabinets isn't the
only place where a swap can go a long
way to update the look of your home.
Consider updating throughout bathrooms, old doorknobs and even electrical faceplates.
Install long & linear
backsplash tiles
Subway tiles have been popular for
ages, but homeowners are now putting
a modern twist on the classic look by
using larger 4-by-12-inch tiles. While
these long, linear tiles are a current
trend, they create a timeless look
and feel, making it the perfect home
upgrade to keep your kitchen on-trend
for years to come. No matter what
backsplash tile you choose, it's important to pair it with a great sealant to
make a complete and finished look.

wall sconces and lamps with on-trend
styles is a fast and effortless way to
elevate your kitchen or entryway. New
and bright lighting – especially if you're
switching out from builder-grade lights
– can make a huge difference, not just
from a design perspective but from
a lighting perspective as well. Many
homeowners and designers are choosing lantern-style framed pendant lights
because they make a statement without
obstructing views and sightlines. Plus,
lantern-style light fixtures are a rare
trend that works for nearly every home
design style. From modern farmhouse
to boho chic, lantern pendant lights
feature a classic silhouette that blends
seamlessly in any space. Natural and
organic textures such as rattan, linen
and wood are other extremely popular
styles for light fixtures this year.
