Local tragedy brings focus to pond safety When trust
goes bad
Boys drowning directs
attention to ways to
kid-proof bodies of water
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY The community is
reeling from the tragic drowning of a five year-old boy at a
rural farm pond near Colony.
Anderson County Sheriffs
Department officers responded
to a report of a missing child
about 6:20 p.m. Sunday, March
30. Ruger Petersilie was found in
a farm pond nearby. Lifesaving
efforts began immediately on
the scene and were continued
while ambulance staffers transported him to Anderson County
Hospital. After extensive efforts
at the hospital, medical teams
were unable to revive him.
The tragedy has placed a
focus on farm pond safety in the

Hunt Furniture story spurs former local mans memories
Family connection to
former business recalled as
condemnation clock ticks
BY GARY ROCKERS SPECIAL TO THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
I was somewhat dismayed when
I recently read in The Anderson
County Review (March 13, 2025)
that the Historic downtown building, The Hunt Furniture Store
located at 511 South Oak street in
downtown Garnett, was judged to
be unsafe and set for condemnation. As a youth growing up in
Garnett, I had many fond memories
of the Hunt Furniture Building.
My father, Louis J. Rockers was
the furniture salesman for the
Hunt Furniture Store from, 1949
until April 10, 1980 (when he and
my mother Evelyn Rockers were
involved in a horrific car wreck
that killed my mother and two
other people and left Dad crippled).
Dad was working at the Hunt
Furniture store when he met my

Can night vision hunting solve
coyote problems in Kansas?
Majority support expanding it
BY CALEN MOORE
KANSAS NEWS SERVICE
MEADE COUNTY, Kansas Hours after the sun has set
for the day, its pitch black in the middle of Meade County.
As David Hampton stands invisible in a southwest Kansas
field scanning the landscape for coyotes, the only sounds are
the crunch of dry grass underfoot and calls of coyotes in the
distance.
He has a handheld night vision monocular. He also has a
night vision scope on his gun. He spins in a circle quietly in
the darkness waiting for coyotes to pop up.
My dad used to drop me off when I was 10 years old in the
sticks to go deer hunting, Hampton said. One thing I am not
is afraid of the dark.
Strapped around his neck he has the remote to an electronic calling device. It can mimic coyote howls or the sounds of
coyote prey in distress.

$3.7 million judgment accepted
in Tennessee; analysts say there
are few protections in cattle business
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT With his $3.7 million civil court
judgement against a notorious cattle scammer now executable in Tennessee, Ron Ratliff
wants to make it clear the series of cattle sales
he made to notorius cattle scammer Bert Smith
IV are separate from Ron Ratliff Cattle Buying
Station still operating in Garnett.
Theyre a completely separate deal, Ratliff
told the Review Tuesday. Ones got nothing to
do with the other whatsoever. The Review mistakenly
referred to the buying station
as the principal in the case in
an article last week.
And though industry
experts say such scams are
a statistical aberration in
the multi-billion U.S. cattle
industry, the impacts when
Ratliff
they happen to individual
businesses can be devestating.
Ratliff said the civil judgement had been
successfully registered or domesticated
from Anderson County where it was rendered
to Tennessee, and is now in the process of
being executed against Smith, who lives in
Lewisburg. The registering of a judgment
rendered in one state to give it teeth in another state requires the receiving state court to
authorize it and for the details to be recorded in
the new states property records, and allows it
to be pursued there as it would be in the home
state with collection via garnishments, asset
seizure, etc. Ratliff said an out-of-area financial
institution failed to notify him promptly that
Smiths checks were being returned insufficient funds, which set the scam in motion.
The $3.7 million court judgment is in addition to 10 felony counts of theft, 6 counts of
passing a worthless check and a single count
of abuse of an elderly person Smith faces in
Anderson County, stemming from a series of
checks he wrote Ron Ratliff Cattle Company
beginning in October 2022. The criminal case
totaling $1.8 million in bad checks falls
short of the actual exposure he had to Smiths
crookery, Ratliff says, upon which the civil
judgement was based. Smith was arrested on
an Anderson County warrant by Livestock
Brand Commission agents of the Louisiana
Department of Agriculture and Forestry in
September of last year.
Internet searches and Kansas court records
are peppered with numerous similar cases
involving Smith dating back decades all the
way back to 2002 according to Tim Niedecken of
the American Livestock Markets and Dealers
Association. In a Texas case in 2012, Smiths
mother paid restitution to the Sulphur Springs
Livestock Auction for 59 head of cattle valued
at some $66,000 which Smith failed to pay for
after they were refused by the destination feed
yard in Nebraska. Smith operated along with
his father in some instances, under the names
B4 Cattle Company and Rowdy Livestock LLC.
Niedecken said the word-of-mouth network
among cattle purchasers and buyers is about

Rev Dr. Kev sentenced to 18 years as repeat sex offender
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A repeat sex
offender from Kincaid who
operated a ministry for ex-convicts via social media was sentenced to 18 years in prison
in Anderson County District
Court Monday.
Kevin LaBelle was sentenced
to 216 months on a single count
of felony criminal sodomy, the
result of a plea deal negotiated
with former county attorney
Elizabeth Oliver before she left
office in January. He was originally charged with five child
sodomy counts and a marijuana charge in connection with
allegations he engaged in sex
acts with a 15 year-old boy and
photographed the acts to possess or distribute.
Newly-seated county attorney Steve Wilson said details
in a pre-sentence evaluation
of LaBelles criminal history negated a longer sentence
originally expected in the case.
That report showed LaBelle
with numerous forgery and
theft charges in Segwick
County in the early 1990s as
well as a previous adjudication
as a sex offender as a juvenile
in 1988 for indecent liberties
with a child and a subsequent
conviction in 2017 that resulted
in his placement on the Kansas
Sex Offender Registry.
In 2008 LaBelle won a partial appeal of his sentencing
as a persistent sex offender in
a 2005 conviction for sexual
exploitation of a child, after
arguing his juvenile adjudication was prohibited when court

Colony Christian Church – Looking
Forward to the Kingdom
Brinley McGhee led worship
service with the songs "I'll Fly
Away," "Abide," "Be Thou My
Vision" and "The Blessing."
Mike and Isla Billings accompanied, with Ben and Ethan
Prasko on keyboard and percussion.
Darren McGhee's communion
meditation was "How Bright
Are You?" from 1John 1:5-10.
God is light and in Him there
is no darkness. A cave is dark
and lonely until it is filled with
light, then it is no longer dark
but beautiful. It is the same
with us when we walk in the
light of Christ.
Pastor Chase Riebel continued his resurrection series
with "Looking Forward to the
Kingdom" from John 18:36.
Christ said His kingdom was
not of this world, we can only
imagine what His Kingdom
will be like. Pastor Riebel
spoke about some fascinating
verses that were recorded in
the front of a very old German
Bible inherited by Danny
Mattheis. Two of the verses
were Judges 19:17 and Genesis
16:8. Both were referring to
situations where people were
questioned about where they
had come from and where they
were going. Also, two interesting dates were recorded. One
was May 19, 1780 when New
England experienced a "Dark
Day" causing some to speculate
that the world was ending. The
other recorded date was Nov
13,1833. This date was another
speculation on end times due to
a spectacular meteor shower.

Jan Wards reporting
Trusting God is
the path to faith
When we trust rather than
worry we grow in our faith.
There is a tension that exists
between these two words. The
behavior we exhibit when we
trust in God versus when we
worry about something bears
the existence of this tension
out. When we trust in God we
enlist the help of the all knowing, ever present, all powerful
God of the universe. In Psalm
56:3-4 the Psalmist says, When
I am afraid, I will trust you
(God). In God, whose word I
praise, in God I trust; I will not
be afraid. Worry is nothing
more than fear that the outcome of a certain event will not
be in our favor.
Perhaps the greatest example of trust ever exhibited was
Jesus trusting that the Father
would raise him from the dead.
Jesus had to experience death
because he had to face everything in his life that man faced.
Jesus came face to face with
this in Mat. 26:39, when he says
to the Father, My Father, if
it is possible, may this cup be
taken from me. Yet not as I
will, but as you will. Jesus
was at a point where he had to
choose to trust or worry. Jesus
faith was unquestioned. If we
have made Jesus the Lord of
our life we find it much easier
to trust than to worry. If you
have not made Jesus the Lord

of your life worry will follow
you like a shadow.
In Jesus teaching on the
Sermon on the Mount he tells
us in Mat. 6:27, Who by worrying can add a single hour to his
life? Letting go of worry and
replacing it with trust is not
easy. But it is part of our sanctification, becoming more like
Christ. If you begin to trust
God with your life your faith
will begin to grow. Jesus never
leaves us without a path forward to him. His simple explanation of worry is this. Mat.
6:34, Therefore do not worry
about tomorrow, for tomorrow
will worry about itself. Each
day has enough trouble of its
own. Jesus here gives us an
invitation to trust rather than
worry.

OPINION
The Prince of Darkness cant spell for squat
The devil apparently wont be in the running
to win next years Kansas State Spelling Bee,
but with the scuffle that broke out at the Kansas
Statehouse last Friday, he no doubt got the publicity he wanted in the face of opposition from
Christian activists.
His minions hopes were to summon darkness, but its unclear if the devil actually heard
the growling incantations from tattooed moron
Michael Stewart, who attempted a black mass
in the statehouse Friday in violation of facility rules while employing his pretty much
incomprehensible 71 Buick Electra-in-need-ofa-muffler voice. No one could understand what
he was saying until he got hauled off to the
hoosegow, but what was abundantly clear was
that he was there to mock Christianity and rub
Kansans noses in the First Amendment plus
get free publicity for his Satanic Grottos new
line of Dylan Mulvaney action figures.
Two things were apparent from the rally on
the south steps of the statehouse, where the
devils dupes faced off against what appeared to
be mostly Catholic counter-protesters separated
by a security line: 1) Stewarts Grotto needs to
invest in a decent portable P.A. system; 2) his
followers need to cut back on the carbs.
And what was abundantly clear from
Stewarts Facebook posts as reported in a story
by The Lion was that this flunkie for the dark
lord spent way more time getting his skull inked
than he did paying attention to his 5th grade
spelling and phonics teacher.
Between 10 am and 2pm, we expect there to
be a dominating Catholic presence of (sic) the
south steps of the capitol building, it reads, per
The Lions story. We will be counter protesting
this group! this is where we want your support.
Our fire and brimstone team is fierce and viscous
(sic). We will make that crowd uncomfortable
and we will drowned (sic) out their prayers. As
a bonus we will hand out mini black mass kits
that be (sic) used anywhere any time! instructions
included. They can stop one black mass but they
cant stop us all.
Stop the black mass they did. Making good
on a previous declarations to the media that
theyd enter the statehouse and conduct their
ceremony, capitol rules be damned (pun intended), Stewart punched Wisconsin Christian
activist Marcus Schroeder twice in the face
after Schroeder tried to snatch Stewarts Cliffs
Notes for the sinister ceremony from his hands.
Apparently the devils not real strict about a
commitment to memorization of the dark rites,
but refuses to pony up for a teleprompter.
Channeling the dark forces of the underworld
turns out to be no match for a Kansas Highway
Patrolmans single leg takedown, however.
Seconds after the assault on Shroeder, Stewart
was sprawled on the polished granite of the
statehouse rotunda under several uniformed
officers, squealing a now very clear and discernible Im not resisting, Im not resisting before
the gaggle of reporters and cameramen, some of
whom it was clear had just soiled themselves at
witnessing their first-ever actual physical confrontation, breathlessly followed cops and their
prisoner down the stairs and out the visitors
entry doors.
Hail Satan! Stewart repeated, walking in
handcuffs to the paddy wagon.
Whatever, dude.
Of course Schroeder did the good guys no
favors in his childish assault on Stewarts personal property, rancid as it was. Whether its
snatching someones dopey devil speech or
burning their Tesla, zealots have a tendency
to brandish the First Amendment and the rule
of law then throw it all out when it doesnt suit
them. Gotta resist the temptations of the dark
side, Luke. And if youre gonna pick fights, you
better learn how to block a punch.
Even though Stewart was in obvious violation of the statehouse rules (keep your protest
on the steps and out of the hallways) now the
poor disenfranchised pawns of evil get to be
martyrs for free expression and the hypocriSEE HICKS ON PAGE 5

KSDE obscures achievement crisis with gobbledy words
Which of the following provides a clear understanding of student achievement in Kansas: 33%
of Kansas students are below grade level in
math, or 33% of students have Identified Needs?
Obviously, below grade level has more
meaning, so why would the Kansas Department
of Education (KSDE) not use performance level
descriptors that are easy to understand? The
answer is that KSDE does not want parents to
know that one in three students are below grade
level because the public would demand change,
and the adults in charge of public education
resist change.
They want kids to do better, but not if it
means the adults must change their behavior.
KSDE recently disclosed new performance
level descriptors for the State Board of Education
to approve, which seem designed to conceal
complete comprehension of outcomes: Exceeds
Expectations, Meets Expectations, Working
Toward Expectations, and Identified Need.
Nothing else has been disclosed about the proposed performance level descriptors, but several
apparent issues exist with those consciously
vague labels.
Meeting Expectations is a meaningless label. What does KSDE mean by expectations, and are they high, low, or somewhere in
between?
Working Towards Expectations is something less than Meeting Expectations, but to
what degree? To put this in report card terms, is
70 to 80 a C, or is the range from 50 to 80?
Identified Need is the most damaging to
improving student achievement because it
deliberately obscures the achievement crisis.
Parents want to believe all students are doing
well, so saying some students have identified
KANSAS COMMENTARY
DAVE TRABERT, KANSAS POLICY INSTITUTE
needs doesnt sound bad at all. If parents arent
alarmed by a term like Identified Need, they
are much less likely to pressure school districts
for improvement and that is precisely why it is
being proposed,
A pattern of deception with performance level descriptors
When the current performance level descriptors were first introduced, Levels 2-4 were
defined as being at or above grade level. There
was no description for Level 1 in the adjacent
graphic that KSDE shared with the Legislature
in 2015, but it obviously is below grade level
since everything above it is at or above grade
level.
Orignal performance level descriptors of the
current state assessmentLevel 2 is at grade
level, but unlike the students in Levels 3 and 4,
those students do not have the academic preparation, cognitive preparation, technical skills,
employability skills and civic engagement to be
successful in postsecondary education, in the
attainment of an industry-recognized certifica-
tion or in the workforce, without the need for
remediation. Hence, students in Level 2 are
at grade level but need some degree of remediation.
KSDE subsequently told the U.S. Department
of Education that students in Levels 3 and 4 are
proficient, and we use that label in our reporting
for brevity and clarity.
As awareness grew that many students were
below grade level, KSDE scrubbed grade level
from the descriptors. Nothing else changed;
KSDE simply reworded the PLDs in a pathetically weak attempt to conceal reality. KSDE
now says it is inaccurate to say any students are
below grade level because the state assessment
only measures grade-level performance. All students are now magically at grade level in KSDE
Commissioner Randy Watsons world, but onethird have limited ability to read and do math.
In baseball terms, its like saying everyone is
a Hall of Fame hitter, even though most of them
hit below .200 (one hit for every five attempts).
Be honest about the achievement crisis and fix the problem
Heres a novel idea. Instead of approving
a new charade to hide the problem, the State
School Board should tell Commissioner Randy
Watson to present a plan to fix it with realistic,
time-bound goals like going from 32% below
grade level to 10% below grade level by a specific
date.
The plans first step is already identified
and waiting to be implemented: require school
districts to spend their At-Risk funding on students who are academically at risk of failing as
required in state law (see the 2019 and 2023 state
audits) or lose accreditation.

Wu: Illegal immigrant criminals just part of the Boston family
The Mayor of Boston wants everyone to know
that her city is all about the fundamentally
American value of protecting lawbreakers.
Michelle Wu, a first-term Democrat, is a
fierce defender of Bostons sanctuary city policies that seek to frustrate federal immigration
enforcement.
She sees a direct connection between King
George and President Donald Trump. The
British monarch imposed the Intolerable Acts of
1774, which closed Boston Harbor and restricted
self-government in Massachusetts; the president
of the United States sent his border czar to arrest
criminal aliens.
Separated by 250 years, these two actions both
supposedly raise the question: Just how much
tyranny can the Cradle of Liberty tolerate?
Wu declared in her State of the City address
last week: No one tells Boston how to take care
of our own. Not kings, and not presidents who
think they are kings. Boston was born facing
down bullies.
It is a strange reversal of values when the
government agency that wants to remove people
who have broken laws is the bully, and the
people who committed the crimes are the victims.
The Boston mayor exemplifies the perverse
morality of a Left that pushed Joe Biden to create a de facto open border, and then defended his
cataclysmic handiwork to the last. Now, with
Trump delivering on his enforcement promises
and benefiting in the polls, progressives like Wu
still cant give up their near-theological commitment to illegal immigration.
For much of the Left, illegal immigration isnt
so much about gaining additional voters in the
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
future — although thats a consideration — than
triumphing over the artificial constraint of a
border that shouldnt separate us.
We may not always agree or see eye to eye,
Wu said of her fellow Bostonians in her address,
but at the end of the day, we are a family. If you
come for one of us, you will get all of us.
This is a banal sentiment that plays on natural
feelings; no one is against family togetherness.
But there is a distinction between a law-abiding,
civically engaged member of Bostons community and someone from Honduras who crossed
the southern border illegally twice, traveled to
Boston because it was a cheap bus ticket, and got
jailed on a drunk-driving rap.
That Wu cant tell the difference isnt a symptom of her generosity but of her ideologically
besotted vision.
In a sweep intended to highlight the danger
of sanctuary policies, ICE in Boston last week
arrested 370 illegal aliens. More than 200 of the
arrestees reportedly had significant criminal
convictions or charges, including for homicide,
rape and manslaughter. Just members of the
Boston family, right, Mayor Wu?
Bostons sanctuary law allows the police to
cooperate with immigration authorities regarding offenders charged with offenses like sex
and drug trafficking, but otherwise is meant to
obstruct the deportation of illegal immigrants.
According to the Center for Immigration
Studies, during the Biden years, sanctuary jurisdictions released roughly 22,000 immigrants
from jail that ICE was seeking for deportation.
At the very least, this makes ICEs job more difficult; at the worst, it results in entirely avoidable
tragedies.
Last year in New York City, an illegal immigrant released into the country by the Biden
administration in 2022 brutally raped a woman
when the city refused to hand him over to
ICE after a prior arrest. The New York Times
headlined its story, How a Migrant Accused of
Rape Was Freed and Charged with Rape Again.
And yet sanctuary supporters like Wu dare to
assume a posture of great righteousness.
There is a sign that some Democrats realize their error. Asked on This Week with
George Stephanopoulos if theres anything that
he likes about Trumps second term, Senator
Bernie Sanders cited the presidents work at
the border and acknowledged Joe Biden should
have done more. In other words, Bidens abdication was too much even for the socialist.
Its Wu, though, who still speaks for much of
the party, in a voice that is resolutely clueless.

When told the earth was round, Trump dismissed the statement as fake news.
I really wish they would come up with another
solution for parents waiting to pick up their
kids out back of the grade school. At times
there are cars waiting for 30 minutes and they
start parking around North Lake Road, which
doesnt have any shoulders, so cars cant get
out of the way. I have seen a couple of close
calls with regard to accidents. It could be
avoided if they would just move the barricade
further up into the drive heading to the grade
school. That would give cars that are waiting
more room to line up. Dont wait until after an
accident happens to make the change. It isnt
that difficult.

Preparing for 2025 KATP
The week of February 17-18
I spent two days preparing
for participation for attending the 2025 KATP (Kansas
Archeology Training Program
Field School).
On Monday, 17 February, I
signed my required documents
for attendance and mailed
them and my registration fee to
the Kansas Historical Society.
All participants when registering, regardless of being a
KAA member, KSHS member
or a non-member, must sign
a Legal Release (Liability and
Photo), Attendance Agreement
and the KAA Code of Ethics.
Also all participants must
pay a registration fee to help
cover the field school expenses. For an old man like me the
fee is $25 for nine days.
For all new or returning participants they must attend, on
their first morning from 8-11:30,
the Orientation and Principles
of Archaeology Class.
On Tuesday, 18 February,

doesnt affront them. Tell it to
the judge, demon spawn we
can debate that all in court, like
Americans do.
The real story is the whole
ordeal illustrated the benefits
of good ole political compromise on the nearly-hallowed
grounds of Kansas government. The devil and his ilk
got the publicity they wanted;
Christians got to counter evil
and pray for the redemption
of lost souls by affirming the
love of the Savior even these
derelicts can be saved, after all.
The rest of us got to watch
an obnoxious slab of rotting
meat get his clock cleaned and
plopped at least temporarily in the local slammer, and
Shawnee County will probably
make a little cash in fines and
court costs.

Kay and I drove up to Lawrence
for me to find a motel and make
reservations for the upcoming
KATP. When I looked back
over the past few years attendance, I thought it was a good
idea to reserve a room early.
I tried several times to make
reservations by phone, but to
no avail, so I decided to just
drive up and make them in
person. Besides it gave both of
us a chance to get out and enjoy
a nice day together.

U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, which will also

The case brought a local angle
on one of the most compelling
issues that resulted in the
election of President Donald
Trump in the November 2024.
Advanced border enforcement,
apprehensions of illegal aliens
and mass deportation efforts,
often opposed by members of

reduced border crossings.

PROUD TO SUPPORT
OUR LOCAL AG COMMUNITY
LYNDON – On May 6th, the
Frontier Extension District
will host KSRE specialists to
discuss two important spring
topics: promoting healthy garden soils to increase production and methods to preserve
produce safely. The meeting
will begin at 4:00 p.m. at the
Lyndon Community Center at
205 W. 10th St. in Lyndon.
Cary Rivard, director of the
K-State Olathe Horticulture
Center, will focus his remarks
on the most important thing
we manage while producing
crops: soil. He is excited to
share how gardeners can start
from the ground up to produce
greater yields of high-quality fruits and vegetables in
their own backyards. Rivard
currently manages research
projects covering all aspects
of fruit and vegetable production. One recent research project investigated using grafted
tomatoes for both organic and
conventional production.
While gardeners often look
forward to eating their fresh
produce, it usually doesnt
take long before the garden is
producing food faster than it
can be eaten. To help reduce
waste, utilizing food preservation practices, such as canning
or freezing, can be a great way
to enjoy homegrown food yearround.
To assist gardeners, Karen
Blakeslee, food science specialist, will dive into researchbased food preservation techniques. Blakeslees responsibilities at K-State include coordinator of the Rapid Response
Center and co-director of the
Kansas Value Added Foods
Lab. In these roles, Blakeslee
provides extension agents with
up-to-date, accurate food safety
information for the public, and
she also directly impacts the
lives of smaller-scale producers by checking their products
and labeling.
It is especially important
to use research-based canning methods when preserving foods at home to prevent
foodborne illness. Botulism
is most commonly associated
with improperly canned foods
and can be linked to, for example, not pressure canning low
acid foods, recognizing signs of
spoilage, or following researchbased canning recipes. Karen
will share reliable resources,
as well as food preservation
practices, that individuals can
use to safely can and freeze
foods at home.
According to the Kansas
Garden Guide, the states
home gardeners produce $2025 million worth of vegetables
each year. Whether these are
consumed by the producer,
sold, donated, or shared with
others, the striking number
reveals how greatly home gardeners impact the economy
and overall health and nutrition. However, nationwide,
80.6 million tons of food is
wasted every year, and about
20% of that waste is produce.
By learning how to preserve
food safely, home food preservationists can help reduce this
waste and make the most of the
hard work of gardening.
Whether you are already
producing fruits and vegetables and successfully preserving them or have never cared
for a plant and dont know
where to start when canning
or freezing, join us! It will be
an evening to dive into production and preservation, learn
something new, and ask questions of incredible specialists
who are excited to share their
extensive knowledge with you.
Mark your calendars: 4:00
pm on Tuesday, May 6, 2025,
at the Lyndon Community
Center. For questions or to
pre-register, contact Chelsea
Richmond in the Frontier
Extension District Garnett
office at 785-448-6826.

The Battle for Moral Truth – Speaking Truth by Clint Decker
CLAY CENTER A university student once listened to his
professor give an unplanned
lecture on why God does not
exist, then afterwards he asked
the students to write a paper on
the question, Does God exist?
The Christian student felt if he
wrote a dissenting viewpoint,
it could cost him a good grade.
An employee was working
late one night when he witnessed his manager swipe
some cash from the company safe. The manager spotted
him, then instructed him to
keep quiet about it. The next
morning when the owner discovered the cash was missing,
he told employees to come forward with any information.
The employee wrestled with
what to do, feeling he could not
betray his boss who had been
so good to him.
A young woman was asked
out for a date by a charming
and handsome young man. As
the evening progressed, she felt
such a connection with him,
feeling like he was the perfect
guy. While they were having conversation during dinner though, she noticed how
he asked their server for his
third beer. She knew about the
dangers of alcohol all too well,
as she had dealt with alcohol
abuse in her family.
A pastor was once asked
to share a message on what
the Bible says about abortion.
However, he knew there were
at least two women in the congregation who had abortions
and was concerned how they
might feel about such a message.
The battle for moral truth
is a war zone, and it becomes
intensified when the truth conflicts with our feelings for others. The battles are fact versus
feeling, reality versus idealism
and truth versus lies. These
struggles are the grounds for
building a life of courage or
ruining a life because of cowardice.
Jesus is our prime example for learning how to courageously stand for truth under
fire.
Once some religious leaders approached Jesus to ask
Him an accusatory question,
Why do your disciples break
the tradition of the elders?
They dont wash their hands
before they eat! (Matthew 15:2)
To which Jesus immediately
turned the tables and asked
them, And why do you break
the command of God for the
sake of your tradition? (Matt.
15:3) It was more of a rhetorical
question, as Jesus did not give
them an opportunity to answer.
Instead, He publicly charged
them in a bold rebuke saying,
you nullify the word of God
for the sake of your tradition.
You hypocrites! (Matt. 15:6,7)
It was such a startling and
concerning exchange that the
disciples approached Jesus
privately and asked, Do you
know that the Pharisees were
offended when they heard
this? (Matt. 15:12) How did
Jesus respond to the concerns
of His disciples? He did not
back down or apologize at all.
Rather he stated, Leave them;
they are blind guides. (Matt.
15:14)
The charge the disciples
made toward Jesus was serious. They were saying He was
being a spiritual stumbling
block to the religious leaders
relationship with God. Their
question revealed how they
had a greater concern for the
Pharisees than for the truth of
Jesus. This is the problem with
our culture. We have equated
feelings to the same level as
truth, and if the truth is offensive to others we might go so
far as to reinterpret the Bible
to our liking, or just ignore it
all together.

people and dance around the
truth, it is the greatest disservice we could ever do toward
someone. Even though we may
have avoided conflict, we have
put their life and soul in jeopardy.
Conversely, when we speak
the truth, it is the most kind,
gracious, humble, loving and
compassionate thing you
could ever do for someone in
the eyes of God, regardless of
their response and regardless
of what happens to you.
Jesus once said, Blessed is
the one who is not offended by
me. (Luke 7:23)
A prayer for you Lord
God, I pray you will help us to
be more concerned about the
souls of others, than the feelings of others. Help us to never
fear speaking your holy truth.
In Jesus name. Amen.

Now offering
April is Distracted Driving
Awareness
Month,
and
the Kansas Department of
Transportation reminds drivers to stay focused, ditch the
distractions and just drive.
Distractions come in many
forms. Visual distractions take
the drivers eyes off the road,
cognitive distractions take the
drivers mind off driving and
manual distractions take the
drivers hands off the wheel.
Distracted driving can be
dangerous. Preliminary 2024
Kansas data shows that 70
people were killed and more
than 350 people were injured
in crashes involving distracted
driving.
Distractions affect your
ability to focus on driving,
said KDOT Behavioral Safety
Manager
Gary
Herman.
Activities such as such as eating, applying makeup, reaching for objects, looking at scenery, daydreaming and quite
often, texting, take your attention off the road and put the
lives of other motorists, your
passengers and you at risk for
injury or death.
Drivers are encouraged to
develop safe driving habits and
always:
Put the phone away and out
of reach
Activate the phones Do
Not Disturb feature
Have passengers handle
navigation, texting or phone
calls
Pull over to a safe location
off of the roadway to make a
call, adjust the radio or do other
things that take your hands off
the wheel and your eyes off the
road
Don't text or call someone
you know is driving, it can wait
Passengers are encouraged
to speak up if the driver is not
paying attention and to avoid
riding with that driver in the
future. It's important everyone
takes charge of their safety
whenever possible, Herman
said.
Statehouse reporting budget
for Tuesday, April 1, 2025
Discount Hunting Licenses
The Senate Committee
on Agriculture and Natural
Resources passed House Bill
2028, which would require the
Kansas Department of Wildlife
and Parks to offer a discounted hunting and fishing license
to Kansas residents who are
65 years old or older. The bill
would also remove the expiration date for Kansas kids'
lifetime hunting and fishing
licenses.
School Property
Senate Sub for House Bill
2164, a substitute for the former Senate Bill 288 restricting
registered sex offenders from
being on school property and
at school activities, was adopted by the Senate last week as
part of a conference committee
report.
Immigration Rhetoric
The term illegal alien
has controversially dominated immigration conversations
since President Donald Trump
issued emergency action on
immigration upon entering
office. The Trump administrations efforts to restrict immigration has shaped immigration sentiment on the local,
state and national levels,
including in Kansas. The state
has seen multiple proposed
immigration laws circulating
in the Legislature this session,
sparking concern amount constituents on the bills' dehumanizing language.

Viking boys finish runner-ups at Uniontown Invite RECORDS…
UNIONTOWN -Coach Troy
Prossers track & field team
kicks off 2025 with 6 simple
words from their coach, And
were off to the races! he stated.
According to their coach,
the Vikings season couldnt
have started much better.
We took to Uniontown and
had some incredible performances to start the season on
a perfect spring day, Coach
Prosser stated..
Twenty-three
personal
records were set and we also
had 17 season best efforts.
Max Chrisjohn led the way
in the field events with medals in the discus and shot put,
where he had a huge PR by
four feet, and seven of the eight
entries also set all-time bests.
Senior Paige Powell set two
new personal marks for the
girls throwers.
In the running events, we
have several new and familiar
faces on the high school team.
Without their full complement of runners on the boys
side, Aidan Howland, Jotham
Meyer, Cash Miller, Josiah
Meyer and Ben Wuertz led
a charge in everything from
the 400m up while Aydan and
Mathew Dunbar took over
in the sprints. Not to be outdone by her brothers, Arabella
Dunbar stormed through the
200 meter run and set two personal bests on the day while
Lily Burkdoll took down some
of the best talent in the State
for small classifications in
both the 800m and 1600m.
Both girls and boys 4×800
relays completed the sweep
and the girls are already sitting right at their State qualifying time from a year ago. Next
up is the Shawnee Mission
South Relays where our top
runners will compete against
many of the best from the KC

Governor Kelly proclaims April 21-27
Outside for Five Week in Kansas
The National 'Outside for 5'
Campaign Urges Educators to
Embrace Outdoor Learning
Manhattan, Kansas, March
27, 2025 As a part of the
North American Association
for Environmental Education
(NAAEE) Affiliate Network,
the
Kansas
Association
for
Conservation
and
Environmental
Education
(KACEE) has recommitted to
supporting teachers, administrators, non-formal educators,
youth development leaders, and
parents in Kansas to engage students and children in outdoor
learning for at least fi ve minutes a day, fi ve days a week, or
any meaningful amount of time.
Governor Laura Kelly proclaimed April 21-27 as Outside
For Five Week in Kansas in
support of these eff orts.
The Outside for 5 campaign
was fi rst developed in 2022 in
response to the pandemic-related decline in youth mental health and the associated
impact on classroom educators
who have faced increased levels
of burnout. Today many students and teachers continue to
face diffi cult issues in their
communities related to climate
change, social barriers, and
more. Strategies for supporting
our students and teachers are
just as important today. This
campaign is focused on engaging communities in outdoor
learning as a way to provide
a more enriching and healthy
learning environment.
Todays students are juggling many stressors that aff
ect their mental health and
productivity in the classroom,
said Laura Donwey, Executive
Director of the Kansas
Association for Conservation
and Environmental Education.
By incorporating outdoor
learning into school curriculum, educators can provide an
outlet for students to release
stress and increase focus for
learning.
There is a large and compelling body of evidence-based
research that demonstrates the
benefi ts of outdoor learning
for mental health and well-being, stress and anxiety reduction, physical health, student
engagement, and academic success. Outdoor educational experiences also off er schools an
opportunity to ignite learning,
which addresses both social and
emotional well-being as well as
learning loss.
Our goal with this campaign
is to inspire educators to think
outside the box when it comes to
enhancing the social-emotional
wellness of their students, each
other, and their entire school
community, said Sarah Bodor,
NAAEEs Director of Policy &
Affi liate Relations. We want
kids to get outside and experience the benefi ts of natures
classroom.
KACEE invites school
administrators and educators
of all grade levels to sign up at
www.outsidefor5.com to receive
free resources and inspiration
to help them spend at least 5
minutes a day outside with
their students. Whether that
means teaching a classroom lesson outside, studying the local
ecosystem, or taking a short
walk across the school campus, everyone can benefi t from
going Outside for 5.
To sign the join the movement and learn more about the
Outside for 5 campaign, visit

the only defense against
unscrupulous dealers.
Theres no clearinghouse
to, say, give me a list of all the
bad actors, Niedecken said. He
said the USDA requires buyers
to maintain a bond and to pay
for purchased cattle promptly,
but theres really no teeth in
that requirement. And while
statistically over 99.9 percent
of all cattle deals in the U.S.
billions of dollars in cattle
sales per year go off without a
hitch, the damage can be devestating to individual buyers who
get stung by repeat offenders
like Bert Smith.
Hes caused a lot of damage
for a lot of people, Niedecken
said. He said the best defense
is simple credit checks and
research on buyers a dealer
doesnt know and release of
cattle only after the money is in
the bank.
Today there are electronic
fund transfers lots of ways to
move money around. Just basically know who youre dealing
with. He said an unfortunate
few have paid the price for all
the traditional trust in the cattle industry.
Billions of dollars a year
in cattle are moved on a handshake, Niedecken said.
A big bundle of hay performance.

HUNTERS…
FROM PAGE 1
coyote hunter, and enjoys trying his luck at night vision
hunting, which regulators
allowed in Kansas for coyotes
back in 2021. The season lasts
the first three months of the
year, with the hope of controlling exploding coyote populations and giving hunters
more opportunities.
Now, that policy is under
review. Regulators held a
series of meetings across the
state to hear from hunters and
others, and will decide whether
the season should be continued or modified by possibly
expanding or reducing it.
After the sun sets, David
Hampton sets up his rifle in
a field. He is hunting coyotes
using night vision technology.
But coyotes still thrive in
Kansas no matter what people throw at them. Coyotes are
incredibly resilient and eat
about anything available. They
also respond to hunting pressure by having larger litters,
making them even harder to
control.
After a few hours of hearing
the coyotes howl, Hampton had
only heard them, but didnt see
any, and called it a night. He
said thats the nature of hunting smart predators.
In the truck on the way
back, Hampton said difficulty
of coyote hunting is part of the
appeal.
When you shoot a coyote
and miss, we call that educating
a coyote because theyre smart,
keen animals, Hampton said.
Night vision is the latest
example of new technology
being used to help hunters control predators in Kansas.
This venture goes back
centuries in this region. As
Europeans expanded west into
Kansas and Nebraska, they
have continually battled with
coyotes.
In fact, settlers expansion
has allowed coyotes to expand
themselves. When people
moved, they killed off animals
like wolves and mountain
lions, which used to keep coyotes in check.
Cutting down forests to create farms gave coyotes more
habitat. Now, they are the most
abundant large predator in the
country.
Kansas ranks fourth in the
nation in coyote populations.
Theyre a concern because
they prey on livestock. Coyotes
cost Kansas ranchers roughly
$4 million annually in livestock
losses. They also can damage
crops and harm pets.
Predators cause roughly 5%
of calf deaths in Kansas, and
coyotes are blamed for nearly
all of them.
Cattle rancher Nick Zerr in
Gove County has been a huge
advocate for the use of night
vision in coyote hunting.
Theres not as much wild-
life out here and newborn
calves are an easy target, Zerr
said. This is my livelihood. I
cant lose money on predators
if I can help it.
A cattle rancher could lose
$750 to $1000 per newborn calf
to coyotes, and that can be a
big impact on ranchers with
smaller herds.
This has led the state to
advocate for hunting to control
their populations. And hunters
see even more success at night.
At night I had some hunters turn on their callers near
my cattle and seven coyotes
came running, Zerr said. You
dont really see that during the
day.
To try and give hunters an
upper hand, Kansas allows
night vision and thermal
vision that helps hunters see
coyotes before being spotted by
the animals. This equipment
is expensive. Getting started
could cost hunters thousands
of dollars.
Hunters also need a night
vision equipment permit
which costs $2.50.
The Kansas Department of
Wildlife held meetings around
the state last month to gather
opinions on the night season.
From the ranchers perspective, coyotes are pest animals
that threaten their livelihoods.
Andrew Enfield, a hunter
from Norton, Kansas, spoke in
favor of expanding the night
season to control predators
during the late spring when
newborn calves are vulnerable.
I have several landowners,
cattle farmers, that call myself
and others when they are calving and having issues with coyotes, Enfield said.
Enfield would like to see the
night season expanded further
into the spring to help better
protect livestock herds. Others
want it expanded year-round.
Geoff Nemnich is a professional coyote hunter in the
Midwest. He hosts a Youtube
series called The Last Stand
where he teaches hunting tips.
At night, theres less traffic, less people out so the coyotes move around a lot more,
Nemnich said. As a hunter,
you can usually have a little
more success, because the coyotes are just naturally up running around.
Nemnich has shot up to 23
coyotes in a single night hunt.
The other advantage is it
gives hunters with families
and dayjobs more opportunities. Nemnich said its helping
attract younger hunters
Hunters can run out and
hunt from eight at night till
midnight, come back, get some
sleep, and get up and go to
work, Nemnich said.
But some Kansans are not
fully on board. Tad Kramar
and his wife Margaret strongly
opposed the night vision season at a meeting in Topeka.
They live in rural Douglas
County. They worry it will lead
to hunting other animals out of
season and be a disturbance.
Its more dangerous to do
this at night, Tad Kramar
said. Also, as a rural resident,
I would find it very disturbing
to hear loud gunshots and see
bright lights throughout the
night.
Law enforcement groups
have also opposed the night
season over fears of people
using firearms at night and
the possibility of deer poaching, which remains an issue in
Kansas.
Some meeting attendees suggested moving the night coyote season so it doesnt overlap with deer and elk seasons.
They said that might reduce
the likelihood of illegally using
night vision for those species.
Secretary of the Kansas
Department of Wildlife and
Parks, Chris Kennedy, went
over the results of public comments from the state meetings.
Overall, a majority support
the expansion across all user
groups based on our data,
Kennedy said.
But several wildlife commissioners were hesitant to
expand the season.
My initial hesitance to
expand to year round still
stands from a personal standpoint. I do appreciate seasons.
We don
I do appreciate management,
Commissioner
Whitney
But we
Damron said.
Theres more discussionof
onp
the issue ahead and a decision
Garnett
could come later this
year. P
