County balks at lawsuit
over veterans memorial,
may go for cellphone
code connection
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT County commissioners say theyre
giving up on a legal avenue to force a vendor to
fix the computer kiosks on the countys $400,000
Veterans Memorial, and instead will go with a
different method of delivering the information
that hopefully will make the local veterans database available to people worldwide.
County legal counsel James Campbell said the
chances of gaining satisfaction from Advanced
Kiosks of Concord, New Hampshire, the company that sold the $60,000 kiosk system to the
county, was unlikely so long after the expiration
of the equipment warranty. But he said commissioners are looking into a redesign that uses the
existing database of veteran photos and info and
cover the kiosk screens with a plate containing a
QR code. That code could be scanned with a cell
phone and provide access to the countys veterans database without using the non-functional
Advanced Kiosks touch screens, which havent

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 4-30-2024 / DANE HICKS
The Garnett First Baptist Church sits at the northwest corner of 5th
Avenue and Walnut Street stripped of its former signage, a physical
reminder of the schism between church members and its pastor which
has landed followers in district court embroiled in a civil lawsuit.
Lawsuit filing latest in ordeal which has
left previously struggling church in tatters
so active attendees, and that this group had
begun meeting at Meyer's home instead of
the church building at the corner of 5th and
Walnut in Garnett. Meyer's lawsuit claims the
three had no official position in the church
and no authority to stop the sale, and asks
for financial damages and the costs incurred
when the sale of the property fell through as
well as legal fees in filing the suit.
The lawsuit claims the church's governing board and members met October 5, 2022,
and revised its existing bylaws to establish
an Official Board of three members, one
position of which was held by Daniel Meyer.
Then, in a series of followup votes in 2023, the
suit says members voted to remove Winfrey
from one of those board positions and eventually appointed Rachel Meyer, the pastor's
wife, to join her husband as two of the three
members of the board.
The suit maintains the new bylaws gave
that official board the authority on February
6th of this year to enter into a contract to sell
the parsonage on or before March 8, 2024.
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A two-year-long schism within
Garnett's First Baptist Church has devolved
into a lawsuit over the scuttled sale of the
church parsonage, which the pastor and some
followers claim authority to sell but which
other church members thwarted with a sworn
affidavit that disavowed their authority.
None of the parties involved would speak
on the record to the Review for this article,
but legal documents and background conversations illustrated a picture of a troubled
church in decline for years which had a
revolving door of numerous pastors over the
past decade, and a radical interim minister
who sought to strip the church of its public identity and reconstitute its membership
along his own ideals.
The church may have had as many as
13 pastors in the last 15 years according to
at least one qualified account although
those figures could not
be verified because no
one with the American
Baptist
Church
Central Region, with
whom the local church was administratively
affiliated and which would have appointed those interim pastors, would return the
Reviews phone calls or emails. But the frequent exit and readmission of new and interim pastors was confirmed in background
conversations by more than one source in the
know.
The lawsuit, filed by Pastor Daniel Meyer
and naming the First Baptist Church of
Garnett as the plaintiff, alleges church members Rose Miller, Warren Winfrey and Leroy
Teter filed a fraudulent affidavit with the
Anderson County Register of Deeds office and
successfully scuttled the sale of the church
parsonage at 510 North Cedar, which Meyer
had negotiated with a buyer and which the
preacher maintained was necessary to pay
the churchs operating expenses in view of
its nearly evaporated membership. Former
members said the flock had dropped to 10 or

Garnett Planning Commission to address
difference in city, state rules on political signs
McClain signs draw
attention from opponent
as city addresses issue
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The 2024 election season is gearing up, and issues over
political signage are already arising. nLast week city officials, candidates and political supporters
delved into the Garnett city ordinance on political signs and found
that it contradicted a state law
governing the same topic. The
issue has developed into a legal
change to rules on political signs
likely to be made by the city's
planning and zoning commission,
the notice for which is published
in today's Review.
But the issue was more prickly
because one of the city commissioners involved in the discussion
is also a candidate for the office of
the candidate in question.
Garnett City Commissioners
were on video in the minutes
prior to the April 23rd meeting
discussing the city planning
commissions consideration of a
change to the citys political signage ruling, since the citys ordinance that bans placing political
signs outside of 30 days from election day conflicts with state law
that says cities and localities cant
restrict signage within 45 days of
a vote. The issue apparently arose
in regard to signs being placed for
Wes McClain, Republican candidate for Anderson County Sheriff,
which city officials said was in
violation of the Garnetts 30-day
moratorium.
City commissioner Mark
Locke, himself a candidate in
contention with McClain for the
Republican nomination for sheriff, asked Garnett zoning director
Eric Mills during the conversa-
tion to remove any signs presently displayed.
Can I just ask that if there
are any out there, that they
be removed?, Locke asked.
Mills responded that he indeed
had authority to remove signs
in violation of the ordinance.
Commissioner Nate Wiehl agreed.
At this point its well before 45
days too, Wiehl said. We dont
need signs out that early.
In a Facebook post on the issue
days before the meeting, McClain
asked his supporters in the city
to adhere to the citys rule-week
rule, but noted no such restriction was in effect in the rural
areas of the county outside the
Garnett city liimits.
I want to thank each and
every one of you for your support,
but lets please respect the citys
ordinance, McClains Facebook
post read.

or three. Then I ask how many
have grandparents, aunts or
uncles who farm or ranch. I
usually get a few more hands
but often we are only up to
about half or less of the class. I
consider Pottawatomie County
a rural county and the first few
years the numbers surprised
me.
My little, informal survey
highlights why we host these
events and why we take the
time to go to classrooms. Each
generation gets farther and farther away from the farm and
have less and less idea of how
their food is raised. Education
is the key to helping our future
consumers understand the
time and dedication we all put
into growing the food on their
table.
The time we spend hosting
events like Day on the Farm or
teaching in classrooms is one of
the things of which I am most
proud. It is also something that
we cannot rest on our laurels,
and I am sure we are not. Ag
education will continue to
be one of the most important
parts of what our county Farm
Bureaus do.
I am already penciling the
Wednesday closest to Earth
Day on my calendar for next
year. It is an event I do not
want to miss. I would also
encourage each of you to contact your county Farm Bureau
and volunteer to help with ag
education, I promise it will be
the highlight of your year.

Day on the farm
Glenn Brunkow, Pottawatomie
County farmer and rancher
This past week I got to help
with Pottawatomie County
Farm Bureaus Day on the
Farm. Most of the schools in
the county send their fourthgrade classes, and presenting
at it is one of the highlights of
my year. This year I got to talk
about sheep, and I loved every
minute of the day.
I was one of many volunteers including farmers, ranchers, law enforcement officers,
extension agents, soil conservation representatives and many
others who took time out of
their day to share their slice
of the agriculture pie with the
students.
The kids had a million questions, and they were eager to
pet the sheep. It seemed like we
never got completely through
the presentation before the
horn sounded and it was time
for them to move. I could hear
a similar buzz from the other
stations nearby.
Pottawatomie County has
been putting its Day on the
Farm on for more than 20 years,
and I have had the honor of
helping every year. This year
the weather was perfect, but we
have had years with wind, rain
and less than warm temperatures. Even those years were
great events and worth every
minute of my time.
I also know what we do in
Pottawatomie County is not
unique. Many counties do similar events and others spend
time going to classrooms to
share their knowledge and passion for agriculture with students.
I start each session by asking the classes how many live
on a farm. I usually get one, two

In Matthew 5:13-16 Jesus
tells us, you are the salt of the
earth and the light of the world.
This is possible through the life,
death, burial, resurrection and
accession of Jesus Christ to the
Father. Paul confirms this in 1
Cor. 3;23 when he says, You are
of Christ and Christ is of God.
Jesus uses salt and light as the
two common denominators to
illustrate the power available
to us as children of God and
servants of Jesus Christ.
In Biblical times salt was
something that was used to preserve food and was something
that was a necessity of life.
Jesus is saying my disciples are
essential for moving the kingdom forward. Salt can lose its
saltiness and this is the struggle
we face in our day to day lives.
When we fail to see the desired
results of our efforts in our own
life and in the lives of others we
can lose our saltiness. What we
must remember is salt changes
whatever you put it on. We
must be the salt and Jesus must
do the changing.
Jesus also refers to his disciples as the light of the world.
The Bible speaks of light as the
symbol of Gods presence and
righteous activity. In John 8:12
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
Jesus states, I am the light of
the world. Because we are of
Christ and Christ is of God we
are to take light into the dark
places of the world. In this day
and time this can be a challenge. However the Psalmist in
Psalm 119:105 says, The Lord
is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear? What we
must demonstrate is a life lived
in the light not in the darkness.
We have been made alive in
Christ. We are not our own. We
were bought with a price. The
death of Christ on the cross. If
we have received Jesus as our
Savior our life will represent
the salt and light that Jesus
speaks about in Matthew. As a
Christian you are a child of God
and a servant of Jesus Christ
able to replace darkness with
light.
Put that in the paper!

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, April 30, 2024
OPINION
Leftist immigration plan changed face of America
Politics is complicated, and it is rare that we
can trace an abrupt break in American society
to a single act or single piece of legislation. But
the Hart-Celler Immigration Act of 1965 fundamentally transformed Americas immigration
policy and is arguably one such piece of transformative legislation. It took us from being an
almost uniformly White and Black country at
the time of its passage to a fully multi-ethnic,
and increasingly ethnically fractious, country
today.
What is clear is that the post-1965 immigration boom, rather than serving as a continuation
of longstanding American policy, was a spectacular repudiation of that policy. Over the last six
decades, Americas government has created a
new American people. Democrats, who have not
won the White vote since 1964, simply elected
another people through immigration policy and
attacked any White person who complained as a
racist.
Given the enormous changes it would engender, it was inevitable that Democrat leaders
would lie about the Hart-Celler immigration bill
before putting it forward in 1965. This bill that
we will sign today is not a revolutionary bill,
President Lyndon Johnson said. It does not
affect the lives of millions. It will not reshape the
structure of our daily lives.
Massachusetts Democratic Senator Ted
Kennedy claimed, The bill will not flood our
cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American
workers to lose their jobs. None of this turned
out to be true.
A more accurate assessment was given by
North Carolina Democratic Senator Sam Ervin,
who argued it was not possible to design an
immigration policy that did not discriminate, so
why not discriminate on behalf of those who had
made the country?
The American Legion said, It is in the best
interest of our country to maintain the present
makeup of our cultural and social structure.
A Harris poll in May 1965 showed that by a
58%24% margin, Americans opposed loosening
immigration laws.
But who cares what the American people in
particular White Americans thought?
To be fair, even many of the bills proponents
professed to be surprised by how radical it
proved in practice, how its family reunification provisions, intended to help White ethnics, led to chain migration, particularly from
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
JEREMY CARL CLAREMONT INSTITUTE
Mexico.
As immigration policy quickly took on a
dramatically different character than had been
promised, the left, unsurprisingly, shifted rhetorical tactics. In 1968, just a few years after the
bills passage, the New York Times reported
that the extent of the change in immigration
because of the new law had surprised nearly
everyone, but that it was unlikely to be modified
because congressmen dont want to look like
racists. Even in the late 1960s, the lefts racial
blackmail tactics were working.
Illegal immigration didnt begin en masse
until the 1970s, and its history is even more
fraught. We are constantly told that illegal aliens
do not commit more crimes than natives
another carefully chosen anti-White statement.
Many Whites are not concerned with whether
illegal aliens commit more crimes than current
legal residents; theyre concerned with whether
they commit more crimes than their own communities of White Americans which they
most certainly do. The fact that there are nonWhite populations in the United States that commit even more crimes and thus raise the average
should not convince Whites that immigration
makes them safer.
By the 1990s, even moderate New Democrat
rhetoric on immigration was changing. As former President Bill Clinton said in a 1998 address
at Portland State, Today, largely because of
immigration, there is no majority race in Hawaii
or Houston, or New York City. Within five years,
there will be no majority race in our largest
state, California. In a little more than 50 years,
there will be no majority race in the United
States. … [These immigrants] are energizing

Kellys veto keeps massive glut of Kansas tax money in Topeka
Last week Governor Laura Kelly vetoed HB
2036, a tax reform bill that would save Kansas
$636.7 billion in its first year of FY 2025.
It would then save between $458.9 and $468.7
million annually from FY 2026 to FY 2029. The
bill is the latest culmination of the back-andforth throughout the legislative session. Despite
it being sent to the Governors desk with a 119-0
vote in the House and 24-9 in the Senate, Kelly
wavered then eventually delivered a veto.
KPI did a thorough breakdown of Kellys
various claims towards the bill and why none
of them hold up. The reasoning accompanying
last weeks veto was largely the same. With her
veto, Gov. Kelly proposes doing $433 million per
year in tax relief instead of the approximate
$460 million that HB 2036 would cost. That $30
million difference is about one-third of a percent
of Kansass entire $10 billion budget. As of this
writing, her new plan only includes a few bullet points and little of substance.
Gov. Kellys latest proposal not only comes
out at a lesser price tag, but also includes a
child tax care credit that would cost around $90
million dollars annually. That would mean a
reduction in HB 2036s current policies most
likely the $230 million towards an income tax
reduction. Having a $140 million income tax
reduction is more than nothing, but incredibly
small benefits equal to the slightest of shaves off
existing tax brackets.
The $460 million estimate for HB 2036 comes
from the Kansas Consensus Revenue Estimating
Groups April update to the budget forecast
KANSAS COMMENTARY
GANON EVANS, KANSAS POLICY INSTITUTE
from last Friday and updates forecasts from
November of 2023.
The changes in revenue estimates were minimal: FY 2024s estimates decreased by $100.3 million below the November estimates. Against the
$10.2 billion budget, this decrease was around
1.0%. FY 2024, with the new update, will still be
9.7% more than FY 2023s confirmed revenue
receipts thats a $900 million increase. FY 2023
was already 17.3% greater revenues than the
year before it too.
The FY 2025 estimate was increased slightly
by $146.2 million, which is 1.4% higher than the
last estimate.
The story here is in the lack of substantive
changes in the revenue estimates. For instance,
in April 2017, the Consensus Revenue Estimating
Group had an 8% decrease in their FY 2018 reve-
nue estimates. After a $3 billion tax hike in June
of that year, the FY 2018 estimates were up 7.5%
in November. This was part of the long fallout of
Governor Brownbacks failed tax reform, which
included both real issues from not balancing
spending with revenue cuts and inaccurate revenue estimates.
This means that Kansas can afford HB 2036
that Gov. Kelly just vetoed. In November 2023,
the Kansas Legislative Research Department
that Kansas would end FY 2028 with $2.7 billion
in its ending balance and $1.8 billion in the
Budget Stabilization Fund. This was with SB
169 last years failed flat tax proposal that is
slightly largely in scale than HB 2036 built into
the estimates.
With the minimal changes to the states revenue estimates, the massive glut of taxpayer cash
that the state has accumulated from high revenue collections remains. With her veto, Kelly is
literally squabbling over minor concerns, and as
a result, preventing tax relief for everybody. As
evidenced by the unanimous House passage of
HB 2036 originally, even members of Kellys own
party see that her budget concerns dont hold up.
Why HB 2036?
A flat tax would have also been conducive to
the long-term economic growth Kansas has sorely been lacking in recent memory. After corporate income taxes, individual income taxes are
the second most harmful type of tax towards economic growth. Between 2021 and 2023, 27 states
enacted some form of income tax rate reducSEE EVANS ON PAGE 4
Nothing good comes from Columbia University radicalism
Columbia University is once again the center
of the radical universe.
More than 50 years after anti-Vietnam War
demonstrators roiled the Columbia campus in
1968, anti-Israel agitators are disrupting the
schools operations, and inspiring similar
actions at other universities around the country.
In their open support for a terror group,
todays demonstrators are more virulent than
their 1960s forebears, but they are still the ideological heirs of the New Left — grandchildren
in the spirit of the first Morningside Heights
revolutionaries.
Its Columbia 1968 — the antisemitic version.
The protests back then were, to be sure, a
larger and more violent event. Demonstrators
seized buildings and briefly took a dean hostage.
The campus shut down. When the police came
to re-take the occupied buildings in the early-morning hours of April 30, 1968, they arrested
more than 700 people and roughed some of them
up.
The situation at Columbia today, noxious
though it is, would have to get much worse to
match 1968s mayhem. The protestors have set
up an encampment rather than seizing buildings. When police moved in last week to briefly
break up the illegal gathering, they arrested
about a hundred people. Although the protest
has generated national attention (and a well-deserved condemnation from the White House),
its not the cause celebre of 1968, when famous
journalists and poets joined the demonstrators
in their barricaded buildings.
Yet, the director of the colleges Jewish
Learning Initiative has urged Jewish students
to stay home for fear for their safety, and classes
have gone remote.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
The argot of both sets of demonstrators is largely the same. In 1968, the protestors inveighed
against the complicity of the University in the
Vietnam War and its institutional racism for
wanting to expand a gym in the neighborhood.
Decades later, those are still the popular catchphrases.
Israel is to todays radicals what the Pentagon
was to 1968s. Just as the protestors back then
demanded that the university cut ties with a
Department of Defense outfit doing research
for the Vietnam War, todays radicals want the
university to divest from Israel. The essential
argument is the same — that Columbia bears
moral responsibility for crimes against humanity committed in an imperialist war.
Yesteryears agitators might have been surprised to learn that student demonstrators acting in the tradition of 1968 have been discomfiting and harassing Jews and expressing support
for a horrific terrorist assault. Here too, though,
there are connections to 1968, at least its more
extreme elements.
The famed Columbia protest leader Mark
Rudd went on to become part of the violent
Weather Underground. The groups manifesto
is a bilious attack on Americas influence in the
world.
It contends that the main struggle going on
in the world today is between U.S. imperialism
and the national liberation struggles against
it. The fact is, according to the manifesto, that
every other empire and petty dictator is in the
long run dependent on U.S. imperialism, which
has unified, allied with, and defended all of the
reactionary forces of the whole world. Thats
why we determine who are our friends and
who are our enemies according to whether they
help U.S. imperialism or fight to defeat it.
The same logic animates todays radicals.
Hamas is their equivalent of Che Guevara or the
Viet Cong, and Israel an expression of Western
imperialism that must be opposed at all costs.
(The Weather Underground statement does
briefly mention Israeli imperialism.)
A key difference between 1968 and today is
that protestors then were revolting against an
institution dominated by traditional liberals,
whereas the radicals have steadily taken over
the universities since. Todays protestors are
only crudely expressing the attitudes and tropes
that they hear in many of their classrooms. A
large contingent of Columbia faculty walked out
to protest the arrests of the agitators.
Columbia 1968 is widely seen as a hugely
influential event in the direction of academia. It
will be a calamity if Columbia 2024 is eventually
viewed the same way.

Every woman voter out there should be outraged that they decided to cancel the county
attorneys cost of living increase and pay her
less than the former male counterpart who
was in the office very rarely, and we never
saw him go to trial. How many of us never
got a jury summons during the entire time he
was in office for eight years? And now they
want to pay her less money and no cost of living increase? Yet she still wants to serve the
City of Garnett and the county of Anderson in
the capacity of county attorney. That shows
everyone there are Republicans out there
who will fight for us.
The fascist Democrat Party strategy to steal
the 2024 election is to have a corrupt New
York City Democrat DA prosecute made up
charges against Trump in a Stalinist show
trial under a corrupt Democrat judge, mandating Trump remain in the courtroom, effectively imprisoning him without a conviction and prohibiting him from campaigning.
Every Republican state AG should now file a
federal action for an emergency stay on this
outrage.

I just noticed a recent article in the Review
regarding the new city judge. I started wondering where I had heard that name before.
Recently it was pointed out to me the city
judge is also running in the primary against
our current Republican county attorney for

While our nations debt and inflation

Garage Sale may not be the
largest in the world, but it is
shaping up to be the largest in
the area. The sale, scheduled
for this weekend, was to be at
Virginia Hermans residence
in Garnett but was moved to
a vacant downtown building
after it became apparent that
the merchandise was crowding
out the space available at the
west 5th Avenue home. The
sale will benefit victims of
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,
also known as Lou Gehrigs
Disease. All proceeds will be
donated to the ALS Society.
The sale will now be held at the

occupied by Pioneer Hardware,
south of Smiths Grocery, from

Parenthood turned fishy for
Jayne Millers Child Growth
and Development class. The
high school girls carried
around jars with small fish in
them to simulate the stresses of
parenthood; one student even
had to care for a pair of fish
twins. Miller said the project
illustrates the responsibilities
of a child, and the students had
to keep a diary of what was
necessary and when to keep the
fish alive. Miller advised that
the students who did not wish
to take their gilled infants
places had to provide an explanation, a sitter, and a piece of
paper for payments made for
the sitting services. Wills were
drafted to delegate responsibility in the case of the death of
the Mother, and any student
whose infant did not survive
week five in all had to contact
the funeral home to get pricing for burial and monuments.
One student said those phone
calls had to be made within two
days of the assignment of her
infant. Mrs Miller indicated
that by the end of the week, the
class had elected to have a mass
funeral and a water burial.

had been connected to shots
fired during a drive-by shooting. The car drove southbound
past Brock Do Jujitsu on South
Oak Street at about 9:30 p.m.
Thursday and fired at least
three shots from a small caliber
weapon into the front window
of the business. Citing budgetary issues, the school board of
USD 479 voted to close Crest
East at Kincaid at its April 12
meeting. The boards vote was
4-2, and the decision to close
the facility was based on what
was best for the district overall.
Previous boards and administrators had already done what
was possible to cut expenses.
Still, declining enrollment and
the need to re-establish programs meant consolidation
into the Colony facility was
best for the districts students.

for the delays in planting season. Last years citation in
delay was an overabundance
of moisture, a direct contrast
to the reasoning for this years
delay. Due to the dry soil conditions caused by the last rain,
many farmers have delayed
planting corn, which typically
starts around late March and
early April. In addition to
the barren corn fields, garden
crops seem to be lagging this
spring. Its too early to predict
how the weather will affect soybeans, the second most popular
crop in Anderson County, since
farmers do not plant until June
in good weather, which allows
the beans to hold out until the
cooler days of summer descend
into fall.

501c Day celebrates nonprofit
excellence and community impact
GARNETT When it comes to
tackling daunting and complex
societal issues, nonprofit organizations are at the forefront of
the fight, leveraging creativity,
collaboration, and ingenuity to
develop innovative solutions.
Their unwavering commitment to drive change and make
a positive impact is what makes
the world a better place for all.
On May 1, the Garnett
Community Foundation will
proudly celebrate 501c Day, a
new annual occasion dedicated to showing appreciation for
local nonprofits. Individuals,
organizations, and businesses
alike are encouraged to help
raise awareness of the crucial
role that these organizations
play in strengthening our community and join in celebrating
their impactful work.
501c is a tax-designation
given out by the IRS to nonprofit organizations. There
are many different types of
501c organizations, with a
501c3 organization being the
most common. 501c Day was
launched in 2023 by Nonprofit
Connect, a Kansas Cityheadquarted organization that
provides valuable connections
and support to help nonprofits
thrive. After leading Nonprofit
Connect for a decade, President
and CEO Luann Feehan wanted to champion a holiday that
celebrated the nonprofit sector
and the people who make it
up. Along with her team, they
began the process of making
501c Day a reality on 5.01 May
1.
Several local nonprofits,
including Garnett Rotary Club,
Business and Professional
Women (BPW), and more will
be featured on the Garnett
Community
Foundations
Facebook page on May 1.
Messages from local businesses, philanthropists, and individuals will also be shared,
explaining why they support
nonprofits and what the nonprofit sector means to them.
501c Day is our opportunity to honor the many volunteers, donors, staff, and board
members who are the driving
force for good within nonprofit organizations, says Julie
Smith, Director of the Garnett
Community Foundation. We
invite our community to rally
behind our local nonprofits and
get involved by volunteering,
donating, or spreading awareness of their impact.

judge also be a county prosecutor? Maybe thats a question for the
Kansas Bar but it did stir my interest.
The Neo-Nazi Democrat mobs you now see in the streets across
the country never protested the ongoing communist Chinese
real genocide against Muslim Uyghurs nor the Hamas attack on
Jews raping, murdering, and kidnapping and launching missiles
against Jewish civilians. But the second Jews try to defend themselves, only then do these mobs go on a rampage.
If I was one of the county commissioners in Anderson County, I
would call my lawyer and get the taxpayers wallet out, because
that female county attorney is going to sue you until the cows
come home. As a woman shes a minority and a member of a protected class, and withholding her cost of living raise is an outright
violation of her civil rights. If she decides to do so, she is going to
clean Anderson Countys clock and she probably should. Thank
you.
At the April 23rd city commission meeting Locke instructed the
code enforcement for the city of Garnett to remove his political
opponents signs from other peoples yards. Hes using his power
as a commissioner to influence an election and he should have to
resign as a commissioner for using his position to gain a foothold
in his sheriffs election.
When judging someone for their clothing where theyre working, I
would much rather that their insides are clean than their outsides.

states, such as Idaho, Utah,
North Carolina, Florida,

According to a recent
paper by KPI and the Buckeye
Institute of Ohio, Kansas
would have $390 million in
economy growth and $220 million in business investment
in the first year of a tax cut
similar to last years vetoed
SB 169 flat tax bill.
Kansas hasnt been one of
these states, and taxpayers
havent received significant
tax relief through a pandemic, high inflation, and now a
new uncertainty towards the
economy and world today.
Though smaller than the flat
tax bill that open legislative
negotiations on taxes, HB
2036 is a bill that puts trust
in Kansas families to make
the right decision with their
money instead of the government. Given the affordability
of HB 2036 and the incredibly minor reasons for her
veto, Gov. Kellys middle-ofthe-road rhetoric falls apart
with her choices.

Group of K-State education majors sees a
need for rural teachers but also a solution
MANHATTAN A newly
formed group of Kansas State
University education majors
from rural communities is
taking the bull by the horns
and addressing teacher supply
by encouraging students from
rural areas to return home
after graduation and others to
consider teaching in a rural
district.
Inspired by the Kansas motto
Ad Astra, the group is aptly
named ED ASTRA, an acronym for Education Advocates
Supporting Teachers in Rural
Areas. ED ASTRA is sponsored by the Rural Education
Center in the K-State College of
Education.
According to the 2023 State of
Kansas Economic Contribution
Report, agriculture and agriculture-related sectors provide
an estimated impact of $81 billion in output. Additionally,
these sectors also support
253,614 jobs, or 13 percent of the
states workforce.
The rural communities that
support these sectors need
well-trained and qualified educators to prepare students for
post-secondary success, said
Debbie Mercer, interim provost and executive vice president. Before stepping into the
interim provost role, Mercer
served as dean of the College of
Education, having started her
career in education as a library
media specialist and later kindergarten teacher in a rural
Kansas school district.
Rural schools are not
only powerhouses of learning they also help drive the
Kansas economy, Mercer
said. Kansas needs excellent
teachers and school administrators so employers have the
workforce they need to protect
our economic base and to grow
industrial opportunities across
the state.
Officers of ED ASTRA are
Zoe Rhodes, Girard, agricultural education major, first
chair president; Eli Tinsley,
Frontenac, secondary math,
second chair president; and
Kinzie Woodside, Gower,
Missouri, and Shelby Starbuck,
Fredonia, both elementary education majors and co-vice presidents.
Other officers are: Sidney
Harris, elementary education,
secretary, Maize; Jozie Kanode,
Exeter, Nebraska, elementary
education, and Abbigail Rakes,
Clearwater, music education,
co-treasurers;
Brooklynn
Davis, Derby, secondary biology, Grace Ferguson, Topeka,
secondary social studies and
psychology, and Marissa Cook,
Abilene, secondary art, graphics/social media co-chairs;
Yesmarie Oyola, Arecibo,
Puerto Rico, modern languages, and Ella Pachta, Belleville,
agricultural education, public
outreach co-chairs; and Rachel
Hood, Industry, Illinois, agricultural education, membership chair.
ED ASTRA held an ice cream
social on April 16 outside of
Bluemont Hall, and approximately 30 people attended. The
group moved indoors where
Todd Goodson, professor and
interim dean of the College of
Education, discussed his experiences with rural education
and the impact dedicated teachers can make in rural classrooms.
Faculty advisors for ED
ASTRA are Lori Goodson,
assistant professor and assistant director of the Rural
Education Center, and James
Alberto, instructor, both with
the Department of Curriculum
and Instruction in the College
of Education.

The Better Business Bureau
of the Midwest Plains is issuing
a warning following a detailed
investigation into a series
of complaints against FLL
Shipping, previously known as
First Lane Logistics US LLC
and FL Ship. In the past month
alone, BBB has received more
than 1,300 inquiries about
these entities, which have been
implicated in a sophisticated
re-shipping scam, exploiting
job seekers and compromising
their personal information.
Individuals have reported
being recruited for work-fromhome package handling positions that required receiving,
repacking and sending parcels
to various locations, only to
receive no payment.
BBBs attention was drawn
to FLL Shipping in early
March through a wave of Scam
Tracker reports, all pointing
to a single address in Winfield,
Kansas. In the past month, FLL
Shipping has been the subject
of 1,347 inquiries, prompting a
thorough investigation.
Job seekers shared their
experiences of being contacted by FLL Shippings HR
representatives via phone or
email for Shipment Analyst
roles. They were led to believe
their resumes were selected
from Indeed or a job posting
site. After going through a
Screening Interview, candidates were asked to provide
sensitive information, including bank details, as part of supposed employment procedures.
After a month of work, they
found themselves barred from
their job portals and unable to
contact the company.
BBB has determined that the
Winfield, Kansas address FLL
Shipping claimed as its headquarters is falsely attributed.
The actual property owner has
disavowed any link to the company. Despite being registered
with the Kansas Secretary of
State, the true location of these
entities remains elusive.
To support those affected, BBB has made ID Theft
resources available.
BBB issued a comprehensive
scam study on employment
fraud in September 2020, which
found that many employment
scams often involve reshipping
goods.

New York Times reported
that the extent of the change

nearly everyone, but that it
was unlikely to be modified
because congressmen dont

Indeed, since 1990, the
Diversity Visa program welcomes 55,000 immigrants each
year from countries that are
chosen precisely for their lack
of connection with historical
immigration patterns to the
United States. Some entrants
on this visa have committed
terrorist activities.
Yet the Democrats have
staunchly opposed eliminating the program, even when
this number of visas was offset by an equal increase of
visas in other categories.

CHURCH…
FROM PAGE 1
The documents say the affidavit signed by Miller, Teter
and Winfrey was filed March
1st.
But the signed affidavit
tells a different story.
That document says Meyer
began aggressively recruiting new church members
after his February 2022 arrival as an interim pastor, posted by the American Baptist
Church Central region. Soon
after he was retained on a
temporary basis, the affiants
say he began talking up the
October 5, 2022, meeting with
the professed intent to have
members retain him as pastor. The affidavit says Meyer
proposed amending the GBC
Constitution and bylaws at
that October 5th meeting,
but that the secretary was
not present and no minutes
or electronic recording was
made of the meeting.
Over the course of Meyers
tenure members said he made
what they termed oppressive
decisions such as removing
the churchs podium from
the church sanctuary and
discarding other heirloom
furniture in the parking lot.
The name of the church, lettered on the south face of
the building, was removed
at some point. Meyer also
called the Review at some
point during this period and
requested the churchs informational listing be removed
from the publications directory of local churches.
The affidavit cites the
previous bylaws, adopted in
January 2020, that requires
a 2/3 majority of all members present and voting at
any regular meeting to make
an amendment to those
bylaws, and that notice of
such a meeting and proposed
change be printed and posted
on the church bulletin board
or inserted in the Sunday
morning bulletins on three
successive Sundays. The
signers of the affidavit attested that no regular Sunday
bulletins were provided for
the church virtually all of
calendar year 2022, and that
none of the members saw
notice of the meeting posted
nor knew what the meetings
purpose would be. They said
the sale of the church parsonage had not been the subject
of any known discussions by
the church board.
Contacted by the Review,
Meyers declined to comment upon the recommendation of his legal counsel.
Other church members did
not want to be quoted on the
record, and others declined
to return phone messages.
Former church members
said Meyer subsequently
moved his family out of the
local area.
Summonses issued April
19 gave Miller, Winfrey and
Teter three weeks to file a
response to the lawsuit.
TOPEKA As the
weather gets warmer, motorists can
expect an increase
in
motorcycle
traffic. With May
being Motorcycle
Safety Awareness
Month, the Kansas
Department
of
Transportation
and The Drive To
Zero Coalition emphasize that
cooperation from all road users
will help reduce the number of
fatalities and injuries on the
states highways.
Preliminary 2023 Kansas
crash data show there were
41 fatalities in 40 fatal crashes involving motorcycles. This
represents a downward trend
in motorcycle deaths in the
state since 2020 when 65 people
died in 62 fatal crashes, according to Gary Herman, KDOT
Behavioral Safety Manager.
But the goal is to avoid
crashes altogether, Herman
said. This requires both vehicle drivers and motorcyclists to
pay close attention to the road
and their surroundings while
following traffic laws.
The Motorcycle Safety
Awareness Month campaign
aims to increase awareness
and promote safety measures
for motorcyclists and motorists alike. KDOT and The DTZ
Coalition emphasize the importance of being attentive and
alert to the presence of motorcycles on city, urban and rural
streets and highways.
Tips for drivers
Yield to motorcyclists especially while turning at intersections.
Check all mirrors and blind
spots for motorcycles before
changing lanes or merging
with traffic.
Allow more follow distance
when behind a motorcycle.
Allow motorcycles the full
width of a lane at all times.
Tips for motorcyclists
Wear personal protective
gear and a DOT-compliant helmet. High visibility gear will
help you be seen.
Take a motorcycle safety
course and keep your bike well
maintained.
Dont ride in the blind spots
of motor vehicles.
Drive and ride defensively.
Judgement for all drivers is compromised if driving impaired, and speeding
increases chances of fatal
crashes, Herman said. But
when these crashes involve
a motorcyclist, the consequences can be even worse.
Motorcyclists dont have seat
belts, air bags or the inside of a
vehicle to cushion the blow.
