Kelly picks
LGBTQ over
female athletes
Veto of bill sets up new vote
fight as Republicans vow to
protect women in Kansas sports
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Governor Laura Kelly on
Thursday vetoed a bill that would have protected high school and college women athletes from having men compete in their
sports, in favor instead of her traditional support for the Lesbian-Gay-BisexualTransexual-Queer community.
If Kelly had signed The Fairness In
Womens Sports Act into
law, it would have prevented men who identify as
women from competing
against actual biological
women in womens sporting events at the high
school and college level in
Kansas, following suit to
some 20 other states which
Kelly
have either approved or
are considering similar
legislation. States rallied to protect womens
sports after a number of instances across
the country in which state or school policies
allowed men to compete as women, and
President Joe Biden signed an executive
order prohibiting what the order termed
discrimination against transgender people.
Legislators who passed the bill through
the Kansas House and Senate say theyll
try to override the veto, but the initial vote
doesnt make an override possible unless
many legislators who voted against the bill
can be convinced to vote to overturn.
Kelly was supported in the veto by the
liberal teachers union Kansas National
Education Association. Proponents of the
bill maintain the obvious physical advantages of strength and speed of men over women
prevents fair competition if men are allowed
to compete in womens sporting events. Kelly
said the issue came down to acceptance and
bullying.
This legislation sends a devastating message that Kansas is not welcoming to all
children and their families, including those
who are transgender — who are already at a
higher risk of bullying, discrimination, and
suicide, Kelly said in a statement.
A hop-scotching cold front dropped a slight accumulation of snow on the area
last week enough to chill recent bloom of redbuds in Garnett and elsewhere
in eastern Kansas. Clouds and temperatures in the 80s today are expected to

Chamber to announce Business of the Year Thursday
Tickets still available for
annual event, top honors
to be named in divisions
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Local businesses nominated for awards by the local chamber of commerce membership will
be honored and winners selected at
the organizations annual meeting
Thursday night.
Events begin for Grill & Chill
With The Chamber at the county
fairgrounds community building
with a social at 5:30 p.m. Dinner
tickets are available for $20 for
non-members and $15 for members.
The night features the meal, fund
raising auction, speakers Alec Cook
and Tom Lesnak and live music to
end the night by Trevor Holman.
Speaker Alec Cook is the sole
owner of Continental Siding in the
Kansas City area after spending 10
years with the company starting as
a part-time employee and working
his way up to ownership after partnering with owner and TV commercial personality Jerry ONeal.
When the COVID-19 pandemic
began, Continental Siding initiated
a 100 Days of Giving program from
day one of the stay at home order
so that they were able to support
the local community and give back
to those that continued to support
all local businesses throughout
the early days of the pandemic.
The company offered a matching
donation of $10,000 to City Union
Mission, donated 30,000 meals to
Harvesters, gave $500 gift cards to
32 single mothers in need, paid 20%
pay bonus to all staff for all three
payrolls of the stay-at-home order,
and also provided a $500 someone
in need bonus to all staff members
so they could be generous to someone they knew that was in need.
Later in the year, Alec organized a group of other Community
Leaders to help local businesses
that were struggling by working
through the Independence Chamber
of Commerce. The Chamber as a
result grew their membership by
17% during a pandemic and is now
able to further support businesses
in the community as the economic
recovery begins.

Beckwith to hang up her spurs

BY PAT VINING
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW

Connie

Thats also why she chose
to retire Friday, April 30th.
That date is 48 years, exactly, from the day she was
hired to start as a teller at
Peoples State Bank.
She left a career as a hairdresser to start at the bank,
a move shes always been
happy she made.
I like all the customers and others Ive known
through the bank, she said,
and loved working with the
other employees over the
years. They have made the
48 years enjoyable and worth
all the effort.
Beckwith moved from
teller to cashier to vice-president and branch manager
in those years. Shes been
a loan officer since 1976 and
on Patriots Bank Board of
Directors since 1993.
The Richmond bank was
purchased by Jimmy Cooper
from Stanley Allen in 1968,
five years before Beckman
was hired. The Princeton
bank was built in 1999 and
for 20 years she was executive vice-president at both
Richmond and Princeton.
It was a short drive from
her rural home southwest of

Beckwith said she hadnt

found she liked the work
and especially likes getting
to know the people.
The biggest change in
nearly half a century of
being with Patriots Bank

when bookkeeping went
from manual to computerized, which could be said
by nearly all businesses.

the program are awarded to the

and addressing local, regional
and national challenges confronting specialty crop producers. Specialty crops are defined
by the USDA as fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits,
horticulture and nursery crops,
including floriculture.
Applications will be evaluated by a team of external reviewers. The team will rate proposals on their ability to successfully promote specialty crops
in Kansas and make a positive
impact on the Kansas economy. Those recommendations
will be submitted to the Kansas
Secretary of Agriculture, who
will make the final awards. In
2021, Kansas has been allocated
more than $338,000 for this program.

Colony Christian Church – The making of a Disciple
Howard Reiter gave the
Communion Meditation over
"Not worrying", referencing
Matthew 6:25-34. We waste
our days when we let worry
reign over our lives . We
should always be seeking God's
Kingdom above all else, and living a righteous life. In return,
God will give us everything
that we need. "So don't worry
about tomorrow, for tomorrow
will bring its own worries.
Today's trouble is enough for
today."
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon, "The Making
of a Disciple". The Great
Commission in Matthew tells
us to go and make disciples, baptizing them and teaching them
to obey God. But before we can
make disciples, we must BE a
disciple. There are 5 essentials
for being and making disciples:
1. Be a servant, 2. Love others,
3. Remain in Christ, 4. Produce
Fruit, 5. Testify. We need to
walk in Jesus' footsteps; to
seek out ways to serve others.
Jesus served us by taking on
our sins so we could have eternal life with him. And there
is no greater love than laying your life down for others.
Jesus is our life source, and
to stay connected to him, we
need to stay connected to fellow
believers, to keep each other
strong and lifted up. And then
we go out to help bring others
to Jesus, to bear fruit for the
Kingdom. And what better way
to bring others to Jesus than
to tell them what he has done
in our lives. When we experience something life changing,
we should want to share it with
others so they might be able to
experience it for themselves.
When we publicly acknowledge Jesus to others here on
earth, Jesus will acknowledge
us to God. (Ref: John 13-15;
Matthew 28:19-20; Galatians
5:13 & 22-23; 1 Corinthians 13
& 15:3-4; Matthew 3 & 10:16-20
& 32; Colossians 1:9-12 & 3:515; John 14:31; Luke 8) Hear

approached tellers with a gun.
Both times a small amount of
cash was handed-over because
bank employees are always
told no life is worth losing over
money. However, both robberies made good stories to tell.
Those stories, and others,
plus numerous pictures were
arranged by Mary L. Hall in
three thick notebooks in the
years she was at the bank and
by others since then. Following
Beckwiths retirement reception Friday, these notebooks
will be given to the Richmond
Community Museum and displayed there for anyone to see.
One really good part about
a small-town bank is that we
support everything thats
going on in the community,
said Beckwith. At Richmond,
this includes Central Heights
School, the churches, the fair,
Community Building, library,
4-H Club and most recently, the
museum. She notes that bank
employees are part of these
groups, too, and that makes it
even more important to support them. Even though the
number of businesses in town
has steadily declined, there
are still a few of considerable
size. And the same goes for the
Princeton community the past
20 years.
All the buildings on
Richmonds main block of
main street have something
in them said Beckwith, and
thats significant.
She was active in the
Chamber of Commerce until
it dissolved in 2018, and represented the bank at organizations as the Franklin Co.
Conservation annual meeting and Bankers Awards,
Franklin County Economic
Development, Franklin County
Convention and Tourism
Board, purchased animals at
the county 4-H livestock sales
and other activities.
Serving on the Patriots Bank
Board of Directors has been
important to her for she feels
she represents a broad area
of Richmond and Princeton
patrons. Having a job to go to
where she felt she could truly
help others was especially
important following the death
of her husband, Steve, in 2000.
It gave me a reason to get
up and get going, and thats a
big factor at a time like that.
She has especially appreciated working with Charlie
Hughes and with owners
Porter Jeffries, Jim Hough and
more recently, Jim Cooper and
Scott Cooper.
In 1974, the year after she
started work there, the bank
officers were Harry E. Rash,
Jim W. Cooper, A. O. Sigler,
and Charles Hughes. The drivethrough was built in 1977 and
in 1978 a total remodeling took
place with almost everything
in the building replaced with
all new things. The Coopers
have modernized banking in
numerous ways recently. She
appreciates everyone she has
worked for and with and values
their friendships.
Its impossible to imagine how many lives Connie
Beckwith has touched in her
48 years of banking experience,
but it is far too many to count.
She just knows shes thankful

retirement is about.
As Connie Beckwith reminisces back to typing and bookkeeping classes at Richmond
High School in the early 1960s,
she wonders what her teacher, Mrs. Pearl Mathias, would
think of the way things have
developed. The past 48 years
of banking, plus 11 years as a
hairdresser before that, have
shaped her life beyond anything Beckwith could have
imagined but she wouldnt
want to change anything about
her working years at the bank.

As Kansans, we should be
focused on how to include all students in extracurricular activities
rather than how to exclude those
who may be different than us.
Kansas is an inclusive state and our
laws should reflect our values. This
law does not do that.
Kelly and other opponents of the
bill, including Anderson Countys
representative to the 5th District
House seat Mark Samsel, said enacting the law would cost the state jobs
and participation in NCAA tournament games. Samsel said Kansas
residents should tune in to next
weeks veto session on Youtube.
Otherwise, Samsel said, everyone is getting second-hand infor-
mation, at best, filtered through the
grapevine.
Senate president Ty Masterson
said the issue was about fairness to
women in sports who can be subject
to competition from men, and
Its not about anything else other
than (fairness), and no state should
allow itself to be intimidated by big
corporations or the NCAA into pretending otherwise, Masterson said.
Republicans in the Kansas Senate
will not cower in the face of such
intimidation and inflammatory
rhetoric, Masterson said. We will
not back down in defense of fairness
in womens sports. We will not sell
out decades of progress by women
for a few days of a basketball tournament.

REMEMBRANCES
The magic of a grain bin Part 3 of the master
Kim Baldwin, McPherson
County farmer and rancher
Throughout our farm you
can see large, metal grain
storage bins scattered about.
While many farmers haul their
grain to the local elevator while
their crop is being harvested
to either sell or to pay to have
the grain stored for later sales,
many also store grain in their
own bins.
These big bins as the kids
call them can hold an impressive amount of grain. It allows
our family the ability to store
grain to sell throughout the
year as the market changes.
A few years ago, we had a
large grain bin built near our
house. This new metal giant
has held some of our corn since
last fall. The year before, it was
filled with grain sorghum.
Just like the stages observed
during an annual life cycle of a
crop, our newest bin also experiences stages. August generally sees a bin with just a few
remnants of the previous crop.
Its swept and cleaned and prepared for fall harvest.
September ushers in a
cleaned, empty bin, which
encourages the family to go for
evening walks to the structure
and utilize the large chamber
to hold impromptu mini-concerts. My daughter prefers
singing songs associated with
Disney princesses at the top of
her lungs, while my son likes
showcasing his novice beatboxing skills.
While the echoes allowed by
the tall, metal walls make it
feel like one is singing within
a stadium, Im sure that from
outside any observer would
question the cacophony of
sounds produced from both
kids combining their preferred
vocal performances.
Later in the fall, the concerts end, and we again review
our safety rules with the kids
before and while we monitor
the trucks unloading grain.
During this time, the bin ultimately will fill plum to the
top. From late fall until early
spring will welcome semi-trailers ready to be filled with gold-

en streams of grain and then
hauled to local feed yards, ethanol plants or elsewhere.
The stairs which curve
around the outside of the bin
allow the perfect opportunity
to take in scenic views and look
for wildlife during these storage months. While we take in
the views, no one is allowed
into the bin until its time to
start shoveling and sweeping
the remains of the grain.
Currently theres only a
thin layer of corn covering the
floor of the bin. Its the perfect
time for the family to take evening walks over to the silver
structure, allowing the kids the
opportunity to enjoy the feeling
of the kernels between their
bare toes. Ill sometimes do the
same.
Later in the evenings following a visit to the bin and
after bath times, Ill come upon
a small collection of grain on
the floor somewhere usually making the discovery only
after stepping on the kernels.
Its better than stepping on a
Lego brick.
Soon the bin will be swept
and cleaned completely and
then sit empty for a few months.
During that time, its purpose
will change from holding grain
to holding mini-concerts.
The annual stages of the large
structure will reset, and soon
more grain will gather within the walls. The levels of the
stored crop will slowly lower
until a thin layer remains, and
the kids will once again relish
the feel of grain between their
toes. And throughout the year,
we will continue to safely enjoy
the magic of a grain bin.

plan of evangelism
This is the third in a series of
four articles on the method Jesus
used to teach his disciples. Parts
of this article were taken from
the Master Plan of Evangelism
by Robert E. Coleman. The third
method Jesus used was he opened
or explained to them the way
of salvation. In Matthew 7:2123 Jesus tells the disciples, Not
everyone who says to me, Lord,
Lord, will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but only he who does
the will of my Father who is in
heaven. Many will say to me on
that day, Lord, Lord, did not we
prophecy in your name and in
your name drive out demons and
perform many miracles? Then
I will tell them plainly, I never
knew you. Away from me you
evil doers!
The disciples then began to see
this teaching born out witnessing
Jesus interaction with the rich
young ruler. After Jesus had
dealt with him rather sternly,
and the young ruler went away
sorrowful because he loved his
riches more than the Kingdom
of God, Jesus turned to his disciples and said: It is hard for a
rich man to enter the kingdom of
heaven. The disciples then ask
him. Who then can be saved?
Jesus answer to them was, With
man this is impossible, but with
God all things are possible.
This young ruler apparently
very moral and upright had just
disqualified himself from heaven by his choice of money over
Jesus. Jesus is telling them that

man will always choose what he
wants most. The only way this
will change is if mans heart is
changed and that can only happen
through repentance. Jesus says
in Luke 5:32, I have not come to
call the righteous, but sinners to
repent. In Acts 4 Peter and John
display their understanding of
Jesus message when they are
brought before the Sanhedrin for
preaching and teaching the people proclaiming the resurrection
of the dead. Peter says Salvation
is found in no one else, for their is
no other name by which we must
be saved.
When Jesus told the disciples
he was the way, and the truth,
and the life, he took all the ability of man to save himself away.
Peters profession of Christ in
Matthew 16:16 confirms Jesus
to be the Christ, the Son of the
Living God, the way of salvation.
Ministry on the Holiness of God.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, April 27, 2021
OPINION
Why do Kelly, Samsel, KNEA hate women?
Quit your whining, Governor Kelly is saying
to the women of Kansas.
Quit pretending you deserve a chance to win
in athletic competitions just because you followed the rules, pushed yourself to the limit in
workouts for years, spent hours and hours and
hours on the track or court or ballfield or in the
Olympic pool honing your skills and developing
your talent.
Stop acting like earning a win means something. Because the governor of your state is
telling you if a man wants it in order to make
him feel better about himself, hes more entitled
to your win than you are.
Quit being so selfish expecting that your
work and sacrifice and dedication are more
important than some man who wants to invade
your sport to take your first place finish and
second and third for that matter if enough
men need to have their self esteem boosted by
beating you.
After all, if a man with his accepted physical advantages in strength, speed and leverage
wants it, you dont deserve to win at least
according to Governor Laura Kelly, 5th District
Representative Mark Samsel and the Kansas
National Education Association. Theyre all
fighting to give men the right to move in to your
sport and take your trophy, your scholarship,
maybe even your future.
That message was loud and clear last week
when Kelly vetoed the Protection of Womens
Sports Act, a bill which if signed into law would
have prohibited biological men from competing
in womens high school and college sports in
Kansas.
Indeed, after spending the entire past year
hectoring the rest of us to follow the science,
and then defaming anyone who questioned mask
mandates or business shutdowns or school cancellations or banned church services as science
deniers, the governor now says its okay for
science to be fluid when presented in the right
political light. Now, according to Kelly, Samsel
and the KNEA, follow the science is a concept
that falls short of human biology if its couched
the right way by ones Leftist political cronies.
The veto from Kelly came as no surprise.
Her coddling favoritism for the Lesbian-GayBisexual-Transexual-Queer special interest
group goes back to her days in the statehouse
and the earliest hours of her administration.
Her deep footings in the liberal agenda were
ignored during her first campaign for governor, but she was a less bitter pill to swallow
than Kris Kobach for many Johnson County
Republicans who gave her the winning margin.
One has to wonder how many of those Kellyvoting JOCO GOP households have daughters
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
who may have to run the 400 meter this season
against Roberta who used to be Robert?
While Kellys at least honest in the corrupt
values that make it easy for her to throw women
athletes under the bus to make Kansas welcoming to families with transgender children,
Samsels cowardice in his sell-out of women is
more shrouded. He dances around claims that
lawsuits (oh no!) might stem from the legislation, then scurries away from the bills moral
rightness with warnings that Kansas might lose
business or jobs or NCAA tournament games
as if those potential costs somehow trump the
solidarity with which Kansas is obliged to stand
alongside its thousands of female competitors.
KNEAs attack on female athletes is far easier to understand. Burgeoning with university
minted liberals and its own leadership taking
its marching orders from the communist-inspired Saul Alinsky reading list recommended
by the comrades at the National Education
Association, KNEA and its socialist elites yearn
for the day to paraphrase George Orwell
that all the animals are equal, as long as some
remain more equal than others.
Kansas women athletes should feel more than
just abandoned and marginalized by the governor and the likes of Samsel and other legislators
whove acted to steal the prize theyve worked
for. They are right in feeling angry. They are
right in making their feelings known. Yet they
risk the torrent of liberal cancel culture attack
from the extremist Left which follows any act of
protest to todays woke culture.
Kelly, Samsel and others expect women athletes and their families to just shut up and take
it. Theyve treated their fellow Kansans despicably, and they should be ashamed of themselves.

you people I have the feeling were getting real

trial this week and I wondered if anybody else
noticed this but me. After he was convicted and
found guilty and they were taking him off to
jail, he put his hands behind his back and let
them handcuff him before they took him off.

The derisive term was resurrected following
the end of Reconstruction when Democrats
in the South regained political power when
federal troops were withdrawn and legislated
oppressive restrictions on black individuals
and businesses that lasted until the 1960s.
Only then were Jim Crow Laws repealed
following the death of President Kennedy and
the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Bill
in 1964.
While readily accusing others of racism,
Democrats go full-in Sgt. Schultz (I hear nothing, I see noth-ing) about their own embarrassing history with the Ku-Klux-Klan. The
Klan was founded In Tennessee after the Civil
War by ex-Confederate soldiers; Democrats,
who opposed freed blacks and terrorized them,
Catholics, Jews, and others for decades in
the South. It was instrumental in organizing
and expanding Democrat voters in support of
Virginia-born Woodrow Wilson.
Klansmen even found membership in
Americas most exclusive club, as Democrats
in the United States Senate.
The Edmund Pettus Bridge, the civil rights
shrine in Selma, Alabama, is named after the

Hugo Black was another Alabamian who
exchanged his white sheet for a business suit
to represent his state before serving more
than three decades as a justice on the U. S.
Supreme Court; appointed by that great liberal icon, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
West Virginian Robert Byrd parlayed his
efforts as a Klan organizer to a 58-year career

Republicans have turned the tide on immigration
Its not 2007 again. But apparently no one
has told George W. Bush.
To coincide with the release of a book of
his paintings of immigrants, Out of Many,
One, the former Republican president wrote
an op-ed in The Washington Post plugging the
sort of immigration package that went down
to defeat in both his administration and in
the administration of his successor, Barack
Obama.
Bush is an unusually sincere, earnest politician whose views on immigration are deeply
felt and honestly come by — they are just
anachronistic, or should be.
If theres any lesson that everyone should
have learned from Donald Trumps takeover
of the Republican Party, its that the partys
old consensus on immigration is no longer
sustainable.
Yet theres still a reflex toward the lazy conventional wisdom that all that ails the country
on immigration is lack of an agreement to give
an amnesty to illegal immigrants already here
and increase numbers of legal immigrants, in
exchange for more bells and whistles at the
border — what is commonly known as comprehensive immigration reform.
Bush says not passing immigration reform
is his biggest regret, and John Boehner, out
with a score-settling memoir of his time as
speaker of the House, says it is his second biggest regret (after not forging a big fiscal deal
with President Obama).
Boehner spends a lot of time meditat-
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
ing on how the GOP became, in his telling,
Crazytown, a party of extremists and paranoiacs that eventually threw itself into the
arms of Donald Trump.
The former speaker spreads the blame
widely, but it evidently doesnt occur to him
that one major factor driving a wedge between
the partys establishment and its grassroots
was the elected leaderships insistence on
repeatedly trying to pass immigration bills
that Republican voters rejected.
For his part, Bush sounds as if hes learned
nothing. In his Post piece, he cites all the
usual measures at the border included in these
sort of bills — manpower, physical barriers,
advanced technology, streamlined and efficient ports of entry.
Thats all fine, but it is no substitute for rig-
Ha Ha to the idiot talking about the mask mandate. Again, as I said before, you lied before
and now youre telling people youre right and
everybodys wrong. I dont smoke but the way
youre talking I think youre high on something.
Is it crack? Oh, youre a Republican Im sorry.
Well said Dane. Its nice to see someone with
the guts to speak the truth. Too bad the major
news media will not do the same. Its sad to see
so many sick people who would glamorize the
denigration of our law enforcement.
Without going into detail, Ill just make this
statement. The criminal element is one step
closer to totally destroying white America.
Cmon man, were not systemically racist
Ask a Democrat what time it is, and he or
she, depending on their gender identity that
day, will respond systemically racist. It
trips off their tongues as easily as Jim Crow,
follow the science, the existential threat of
climate change, tax the rich, the southern
border is only a challenge, and its Trumps
fault.
President Biden, misinterpreting his electoral mandate ( he won not by seven million
votes, but by 44,000 spread among Arizona,
Georgia, and Wisconsin) and ignoring the unifying potential of the White House, routinely
indicts half the country (read Trump voters)
with charges of racism. But before the lobs,
not throws, another stone, lets meet the real
Jim Crow and review some uncomfortable history of the Democrat Party that might cause
the president and his supporters to move out
of their glass houses.
Jim Crow was really New Yorker Thomas
Dartmouth Rice (1808-1860), an actor and playwright who based his character on a disabled
stable groom he observed one day singing and
dancing while he worked. He performed his
act, black-faced, in a popular minstrel show
beginning in the early 1830s. The depiction
of a black man with all the hateful and cruel
stereotypes, played to packed houses in the
U.S. and Europe for the next decade and Jim
Crow became a slur leveled at black men.
this paper. Those white men climbed the wall
up at the White House, none of them got shot. If
it had been a black citizen, black people climbing the wall? White people brandished their
guns in front the police and nothing is done.
Review commentary Dane Hicks, you need the

orous enforcement in the interior of the country and cant counteract the open-borders message sent by welcoming illegal immigrants.
In that regard, Bush professes, as all supporters of comprehensive immigration reform
always do, to oppose amnesty as fundamentally unfair to those who came legally or are
still waiting their turn to become citizens.
He then calls for an amnesty couched as, in
one of the laziest cliches in the immigration
debate, bringing illegal immigrants out of the
shadows.
This will be achieved through a gradual
process in which legal residency and citizenship must be earned, by requiring proof
of work history, payment of a fine and back
taxes, English proficiency and knowledge of
U.S. history and civics, and a clean background check.
Such requirements are always promised
in comprehensive immigration bills and are
always toothless, serving only as a way to
deny that the amnesty for illegal immigrants
is indeed an amnesty.
Bush says, as well, that both parties should
be willing to get behind increased legal immigration, a characteristic feature of these bills.
In another tired talking point, Bush insists
that a higher level of immigration is necessary
to bringing more skilled immigrants — never
considering that we could also reduce the

Phil McCormick, a man who
seems to have found success in
all aspects of life. Now forty, he
struggles with a mid-life crisis

Fiala shares, While it all
looked good from the outside,
Phil McCormicks life was quietly spiraling out of control.
He had a great job, a loving
wife, and two talented children.
However, he felt completely
lost, and all of these relationships were suffering as a result.
He struggled with the basic
questions of which everyone
must find their own answers:
Why am I here? What am I
supposed to be doing with my

Vikings coach happy with teams response to inconsistent weather
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
BURLINGTON – Central Heights
head coach Troy Prosser has
been happy all season with his
squads improvements from
week to week and was happy
once again with their performance at the Gene Farrow
Invitational at Burlington,
which was hosted by Waverly.
Prosser stated, In a matter
of three days, the team was able
to navigate spring, winter, and
back to spring again. While that
can be a lot to deal with, the performances in the throws and on
the track showed that the conditions were of no consequence.
Luke Cotter had a huge personal best in the 3200m knocking 26
seconds off of his time to break
through the 11 minute barrier
for the first time. He had a great
strategy going in and it paid off
big time. Alexis Haynes had
her best day throwing and is
bringing a lot of excitement to
Javelin. In the sprints, Taryn
(Compton) had some excellent
races and earned three individual medals. In a meet with 22
schools, everyone was able to
gain some very valuable experience resulting in another 12
personal best performances as
we make our way into the last
half of the season.
Taryn Compton led the way
for both squads. Compton was
the only girl to earn points as
she finished 5th in the 100 meter
dash (13.84), 6th in the 200 meter
dash (29.24) and 3rd in the 300

Martin finished 3rd at
Osawatomie with an 86, followed by Lane Richards (90) in
10th place.
On Thursday, the Bulldogs
played a very tough group
of teams at Spring Hill at
Sycamore Ridge golf course,
but still had a trio of top 20s.
On the pay 72 course, Martin
(86) led the way for the Bulldogs
tying for 16th.
Richards (89) and Reese

Lady Bulldogs split against Wellsville
BY KEVIN GAINES
Bulldog golf competed
twice last week
Anderson County, they erupted
for 6 runs in the inning.
A pair of singles and an error
preceded a three run home run
by Kaylyn Disbrow that pushed
the lead out to 6-0.
Following a single by Jasper,
Cali Foltz got in on the action
with a two-run home run to
make the score 8-0, which is
where it would remain heading
into the third inning.
It was only fitting that
Anderson Countys final run
also came via home run as
Foltz hit a solo homer with one
out in the bottom of the sixth to
stretch the lead to 11-3 before
Wellsville tacked on two runs
in the seventh for a 11-5 final.
Alison Brown pitched all
7 innings, allowed 10 hits, 4
earned runs and struck out 9
batters.
Wellsville would win the
second game 4-2, despite early
signs that the power surge
would continue for Anderson
County.
Disbrow would hit her second home run on the day with
just one out in the first inning
to knot the score at 1.
Wellsville would score once
in the top of the fifth, but AC
responded as Foltz hit a double
to score Disbrow to score one
in the bottom half of the sixth
to tie the score at 2.
Wellsville would get the
upper hand by scoring twice
in the top half of the seventh
before shutting down AC in the
bottom half to close out the
win.
Brown, once again, pitched
all 7 innings, allowing 3 earned
runs and struck out 7 more.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Anderson County
earned a pair of wins over
Wellsville last Tuesday at
home, both of them by a final
score of 7-2.
In the opener, Dalton
Kellerman led the AC offense
picking up 3 hits in 4 at bats,
scoring once and driving in a
run.
Bo Dilliner and Dallas
Kueser each picked up a pair of
hits in 4 at bats. Dilliner scored
twice while Kueser scored once
but drove in two runs as well.
Dereck Rockers pitched
very well going all 7 innings,
allowing 5 hits, 1 earned run,
walked 3 batters and struck out
13.
In the late game, Anderson
County got off to a torrid start
scoring 5 runs in the first
inning and one more in the second and third inning en route
to their 7-2 win.
Preston Kueser pitched 5
solid innings, allowing 5 hits,
0 earned runs and struck out
two.
The offense was led by
Braden Blaufuss as he got a hit
in all 3 at bats and also scored a
run.
Tyler Denny picked up 2 hits
in 2 at bats and drove in a run.
The only other Bulldog with
multiple hits was Kellerman
with 2 hits in 3 at bats, scored
once and drove in two runs.
Lady Lancers do well at
large meet in Burlington
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
BURLINGTON – Twenty-two
teams traveled to Burlington
to compete in the 2021 Gene
Farrow Invitational hosted by
Waverly and without a doubt
the Lancers were one of the
smallest schools there and still
finished inside the top 10.
Lily Blaufuss (200 meters,
32.24) and Brinley McGhee
(100 meter hurdles, 17.64) both
finished 2nd to lead the Lady
Lancers.
McGhee also added a 6th
place finish in the long jump
(15 1.25).
Ursula Billings continued to
do well finishing 3rd in the 3200
meter run (12:58.68), 5th in the
1600 meter run (5:57.62) and 4th
in the 800 meter run (2:47).
Also finishing in the top 6
on the day was Mia Coleman in
the 100 meter dash (13.84).
Lancers blank Oswego in doubleheader Lady Vikings lose a pair of close games
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – Crest was dominating in both ends of a doubleheader over the Oswego
Indians, outscoring them
a combined 25-0 in the two
games.
In the opening game, Crest
won 10-0 as the game ended
in the fifth inning due to the
mercy rule.
The game was just 4-0 heading into the fourth before the
Lancers tallied 6 runs in the
bottom of the fifth.
The 10 runs came on just 6
hits, aided largely by 8 walks
by Oswego pitchers.
Stratton McGhee picked up
2 hits in 3 at bats, scored 3 runs
and drove in 3 runs to lead the
Lancers.
Trevor Church pitched 5 hitless innings, his second no-hitter of the season, striking out
10 batters and walked 4.
It was much of the same in
the second game. Crest scored
6 runs in the first, 4 in the sec-
ond inning and 5 in the third
en route to a 15-0 win.
Their 15 runs came on just 8
hits and 7 walks.
Once again, the offensive
numbers dont look huge for
Crest due to the nature of the
win.
Holden Barker and Ryan
Golden each tallied 2 hits.
Golden led the team with 3
runs batted in.
Avery Blaufuss pitched all 3
innings, allowing 2 hits and 1
walk while striking out 8.
Crest moves to 12-0, routs Yates Center
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – After a pair of dominating wins over Yates Center,
Crest moved to a perfect 12-0 in
impressive fashion.
Ten of their 12 wins have
been by double digits and that
trend continued with wins of
16-4 and 19-0 over Yates Center.
Crest had big innings in the
first and third, scoring 7 and
6 respectively, to earn the 16-4
victory after just 5 innings.
Trevor Church picked up 3
hits to lead the Lancers, scoring
twice and driving in a run.
Stetson Setter, Holden
Barker and Jack White also all
picked up multiple hits, each
garnering two in the game.
Barker led the team with 3
runs batted in.
Kobey Miller picked up the
win despite going just 1 1/3
inning, allowing 2 hits and
struggling to find the strike
zone while walking 4 hitters.
Tyson Hermreck and Ethan
Godderz pitched the remaining
3 2/3 innings, allowing just 2
hits and struck out 6 combined
to close out the win.
Crest got off to a slow start in
the second game, scoring just
one run in the first inning but
erupted for 18 runs in the second to, once again, bring the
game to an early end at 19-0.
Stratton McGhee provided
the power offensively hitting
a home run on a pair of hits,
scoring three times and driving
in 5 runs.
Stetson Setter picked up 1 hit
in 2 at bats, scored twice and
drove in 3 runs. Kobey Miller
hit 2 doubles in 2 at bats, scored
twice and drove in two runs.
Another well pitched game
by Crest in the shortened affair.
Setter went 3 innings, allowed
just one hit while striking out 5.

HUMBOLDT – Central Heights
finished
the
Humboldt
Tournament winless by losing both games by a combined
three runs.
In the opening game, the
Viking girls battled back from
a 7-4 deficit in the seventh only
to see Humboldt rally for a 9-8
win.
Humboldt opened the scoring with a run in the bottom of
the first and the score would
remain that way until the top
of the third when the Vikings
would score 3 runs on a Taylor
Chrisjohn home run to give the
Vikings a 3-1 lead.
Humboldt would score 4 in
the bottom of the fourth, 2 in
the fifth, 1 in the sixth to give
them a 7-4 lead heading into the
seventh.
Following back to back
singles by Cameron Peel and
Bailey Brockus to open the seventh, Chloe LaDuke hit a run
scoring double to cut the lead
down to 7-5.
Following another single,
this one by Emma Cubit, Axel
Roberts singled to score another run, making the score 7-6.

walked and Mieka Crump singled, scoring two runs and giving the Lady Vikings an 8-7
lead with still just one out.
The rally ended quickly as
the next two batters would
ground out to end the inning.
After a leadoff single to open
the bottom of the seventh, a
sacrifice bunt moved the tying
run to second, then the defense
let down the Vikings.
With still one out, a ground
ball ended up not producing
an out as the Vikings tried
gunning down the lead runner
advancing to third.
The game tying run would
score via a passed ball, putting
the winning run on 3rd base.
Following a bunt single, the
winning run stayed at third
but they would score just a
few pitches later as Humboldt
would hit a single to center for

Erykah Haynes picked up 4
hits for Central Heights in 5 at
bats to lead the Vikings in hits.
Crump pitched 6 1/3 innings,
allowing 12 hits and 8 earned
runs and was charged with the
loss.
In the third place game, the
Vikings would get off to a quick
2-0 lead after the first inning as
a result of a two run double by
Chrisjohn.
Unfortunately that would be
all the scoring for the Vikings.
Neodesha would score 1 in the
second, take the lead with 2
runs in the fourth and tack on
an insurance run in the top of
the seventh.
Crump would again pitch
the complete game, going 7

Garnett
Farmers
Market is
growing
The 2021 Garnett Farmers
Market Season Meeting was
held on Thursday, April 22 at
Town Hall Center, hosted by
the Garnett Area Chamber of
Commerce in coordination
with Garnett Community
Development.
Kris Hix,
Executive Director of the
GACC and Garnett Farmers
Market Manager facilitated the
meeting.
There were twelve (12) individuals in attendance representing potential vendors at
this years market, some who
this would be their first year
to participate. Each received
a GFM vendor packet. Kris Hix
informed the group that she
has touched base with previous
participants of the market and
has been receiving favorable
calls from vendors of all kinds,
including some food trucks.
This turnout and the fact that
half of the vendors attending
this meeting paid their fees for
the entire market season gives
good vibes that this years market is looking very good. We
hope we might run out of room
on the east side of Main Street
and have to block off additional
area, states Ms. Hix. There
will be demonstrations and
sampling through the Frontier
District K-State Research and
Extension, the Garnett Public
Library will have some new
activities, and more programs
and events are in the works
for visitors to the market of all
ages to enjoy.
Individuals looking at venturing out to sell a product
during the Farmers Market in
Garnett can contact the Market
Manager at the Chamber
of Commerce Office located at 131 W. 5th Avenue or
call 785-448-6767. The Garnett
Farmers Market Season
begins Thursday, May 6th and
end October 7th. The market
is held weekly on Thursdays
on Main Street adjacent the

K-State veterinarian shares facts to prevent heartworm disease in pets
MANHATTAN
April
is
National
Heartworm
Awareness Month. Susan
Nelson, clinical professor at
the Kansas State University
Veterinary Health Center
in the College of Veterinary
Medicine, is reminding pets
owners that the risk of heartworm transmission to pets
increases as the weather
warms up.
Nelson shares the following
facts to help pet owners understand more about heartworm
disease and how to keep their
pets safe.
1. Heartworm disease is a
potentially deadly disease for
pets and is spread by mosquitoes.
Adult heartworms live in
the heart and main pulmonary
arteries and they can grow up
to 12 inches in length.
2. Dogs are the most common host for heartworm disease.
Heartworm disease in dogs
often can cause long-term damage to the heart, lungs and
arteries and can affect their
health and quality of life well
after the parasites are gone.
Dogs can harbor several hundred worms.
3. Cats also can be infected
with heartworm disease.
Cats are not a preferred
host for heartworms and most
worms are not able to mature
into the adults. Cats with
adult heartworms usually only
have one to three worms, but
even a few worms can cause
life-threatening disease in cats
because of their small heart
size.
4. Heartworm disease can be
found across the United States.
The American Heartworm
Society reports that more than
1 million dogs currently have
heartworm disease. It has been
diagnosed in all 50 states, with
a higher prevalence in the
more southern states along the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
5. Preventives and treatments are available.
There are many preventives
to help keep your dog or cat
from contracting heartworm
disease, and puppies and
kittens should be started on
heartworm preventive no later
than 8 weeks of age. There are
pills and topical preventives
for both cats and dogs as well
as injectable preventives that
last anywhere from six to 12
months for dogs.

Study shows negative milk
impact from condition
MANHATTAN Researchers
at the Kansas State University
College of Veterinary Medicine
have published new data suggesting a negative effect on a
dairy cow's milk production
because of bovine anaplasmosis, a globally widespread livestock disease.
The article, "Assessment of
within-herd seroprevalence
of Anaplasma marginale antibodies and association with
decreased milk production in
an Iowa dairy herd," co-authored by Andrew Curtis, a
doctoral student in physiology, and Hans Coetzee, professor and head of the anatomy
and physiology department,
appears in the April issue of
Applied Animal Science.
The researchers specifically
found that 38% of the animals
in the herd tested positive for
bovine anaplasmosis, which
is linked to significant production losses in cattle in the
United States.
"Anaplasmosis has been
a large part of my doctoral
research," Curtis said. "I was
fortunate to be able to revisit a
dataset collected in Iowa from
2008-2011 while working on
my dissertation. Although the
original survey was completed
a few years ago, the impact
of anaplasmosis on dairy cattle and milk production has
remained poorly defined in
the literature. We recognized
the opportunity to describe
the relationship that appears
to exist between anti-Anaplasma marginale antibodies and
dairy production."
"This study demonstrates
the need for careful monitoring for anaplasmosis infection
across various geographic
regions and especially in open
herds not having rigorous diagnostic testing protocols," said
David K. Beede, editor-in-chief
of Applied Animal Science.
"Poor biosecurity practices,
such as failure to quarantine
just-purchased animals or
reusing hypodermic needles
among animals for routine
treatments, are risk factors."
Cows that tested positive
for the Anaplasma marginale
antibodies produced significantly less milk than cows that
tested negative. The authors
concluded that by managing
risks connected with new additions to a herd and by eliminating circumstances that may
support disease transmission,
production and herd health at
the facility could have been
safeguarded.

But supporters of the old
consensus arent especially keen on understanding
the arguments of opponents.
Boehner refers to the farright crazies who never forgave John McCain for pushing immigration reform, and
blames demagogues and
sheer stubbornness for
blocking a comprehensive bill
in 2014.
So far this year, Republican
senators have only talked of
a narrower immigration bill
focused on an amnesty for
so-called Dreamers. Surely,
though, the instinct toward
comprehensive immigration
hasnt gone away. Its up to
Republican voters to constantly

Isnt it rich that Biden would
charge fellow Americans with
systemic racism after they
convincingly twice elected
the first black president who
just happened to save Bidens
36-year, but inconsequential,
political career?
Its because in the dystopic
world of Biden and the leftwing of his party, everyone,
save for white males, is a
potential victim of somebody
or something. Theyre told
they can never achieve The
American Dream because they
are too black, too Hispanic,
too female, too gay, too ignorant, too-something. Racism
is the first arrow pulled from
their quiver of isms because
it pierces the soul, giving an
excuse for failure and punishing success.
Mr. President, we are not
systemically racist We
spilled the blood of 750,000
of our own to erase the stain
of slavery. We overcame the
objections of your party to outlaw the hateful, racist practices
of the past to provide opportunities for black people. 800,000
black households are millionaires. Before the China Virus
laid low our economy, blacks
had the lowest unemployment
and highest incomes in their
history. And you know they
were surging toward Donald
Trump last year. Hispanics,
too. You won with white, suburban voters; not because of
who you were, but because you
werent him.
I offer a solution. School
Choice.
If you and your party really want to lift black families
out of poverty, crime, and
despair, let them decide what
schools their children attend.
Everyone else in our economy faces competition everyday
for their business; why exempt

be guaranteed bipartisan support and you would be hailed
as a visionary. All you have to
do is use your bully pulpit to
overcome your bosses in the
teachers unions.
Come on, Man!
