Deputy loses LEO certificate for buying booze for minors
Fired ACSO officer loses
career over incidents during
short tenure in department
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA A former deputy with
the Anderson County Sheriff's
Department who was fired last summer for admittedly purchasing alcohol for minors has had his state law
enforcement certification revoked.
An order of revocation from the
Kansas Commission on Peace Officers
Standards and Training said Hayden
Seabolt served with the Anderson
County department from November
1, 2021, to August 24,
2023.
The order noted
that during an unrelated investigation
it was reported that
Seabolt had repeatedly provided alcohol to minors over a
several month periSeabolt
od. Multiple juveniles, when interviewed by the department, confirmed
this information and also alleged additional behavior Seabolt that made
them uncomfortable.
During the investigation by the
department, Seabolt admitted during
interviews he attended parties with
and purchased alcohol for individuals
who were under 21, which resulted in
his dismissal from the ACSO.
Anderson County Sheriff Vern
Valentine said he could not comment
on the revocation or Seabolts firing
due to it being a personnel matter.
Furnishing alcohol to a minor is a
misdemeanor crime in kansas.
His dismissal from the Anderson
County department resulted in an
interview with a state commission
investigator, whose report noted
Crest Prom 2024
Seabolt was initially dishonest and
evasive but eventually admitted to
purchasing alcohol for minors as
reflected in the ACSOs investigation.
Based on Seabolt's admission and
on the fact that he initially provided
false information to the commission
investigator, his law enforcement certification was revoked.
So far in 2024 the commission's
website reports 14 officers across
Kansas were either censured or lost
their certifications altogether due to
various offenses. Kansas participates
in a National Database that reports
LEO decertifications to reduce incidents where decertified officers might
be hired in another jurisdiction that
failed to background check them.
However, not all jurisdictions are
known to use that free national database.
According to a KMUW public radio
story in Wichita from January, a Yale
Law Review study published in 2020
of 98,000 full-time officers in Florida
over a 30-year period showed that in
any given year, 1,100 fired officers,
including more than 800 fired for misconduct, were working for new agencies. Authors Ben Grunwald and John
Rappaport also found those officers
tended to locate at agencies with fewer
resources.
Got room?
Local schools declare
capacities, rules to accept
non-resident students
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Local school districts
have geared up for the first year of
public school open enrollment in
Kansas as districts across the state
assess and report how much capacity
they have in various grades to accommodate students who may want to
transfer there.
Those transfers mean more traffic
and more money each new student
in Kansas schools come with about
$5,100 more in base state aid more if
theyre poor or disadvantaged.
Kansas lawmakers passed the measure in 2022 and targeted 2024-2025 as
its first active policy year. The measure isnt whats typically referred
to as school choice, which allows
public school parents to access the
amount of state funding their child
generates for the public school system
and use it to offset tuition at a private
school. Open enrollment allows parents to move a student from one public
institution to another if theres room
to do so.
The report reviewed by the USD
365 School Board Thursday night
shows space for 115 additional stu-
Levi Prasko & Lili Blaufuss
Dalton Kersley & Ruthie Dietrich
dents spread across grades K-12, with
the most capacity in the Garnett
Elementary School 4th grade classes. High school classes at ACHS had
about 28 vacancies, the report said, 15
for 9th grade, one for 10th grade and 12
in the senior class.
The USD 365 report showed a total
estimated head count in all grades
at GES, Greeley, Westphalia and
junior high and high school grades at
ACJSHS at 852 students. The districts
largest attendance center, ACJSHS,
had 432 students in grades 8-12.
The USD 365 policy will require
non-resident student enrollment
window between June 1 and June
30. Acceptance of applications for
non-resident enrollment will be based
on capacity, and will be selected at
random by lottery in the event of a
vacacy for students placed on a waiting list in the event capacity in the
sought grade is reached.
A non resident student may not be
accepted when enrollment requires
the acquisition of additional district
resources, like personnel, technology
hardware or software, square footage, physical equipment, transportation services or contracted services,
the policy reads. Applicant students
cant be under explulsion or longterm suspension from their current
school, and have to provide their own

New charges may precede plea deal

Crest High School had their 2024 prom on Saturday, April 6th.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A Garnet man accused
of rape and incest
is expected to finish an arraignment
hearing later this
month while the
defense and prosecution negotiate a
plea agreement in
the case which initially charged him
Wilper
with 14 separate sex
offenses.
Joseph Wilper was arrested and
charged last October with rape, criminal sodomy, aggravated incest and
indecent liberties with a child under
the age of 14. Numerous charges carry
sentences of 25 years to life imprisonment, with others ranging from just
over 2 years to 12 years.
Anderson
County
Attorney
Elizabeth Oliver said the arraignment, which began March 18th and
was extended to April 22nd, would
accommodate the possible filing of an
amended complaint reflecting a plea
agreement.
The move on Wilpers case comes
on the heels of a sentence of 16 life
terms handed down to convicted child
rapist Isidro Madrid in Anderson
County District Court in late March.
Medical pot gets more bad grades
BY URSULA BILLINGS
THE KANSAS INFORMER
TOPEKA While advocates make
a final push late in the 2024 Kansas
legislative session for action on the
legalization of medical marijuana,
the option continues to be shadowed by concerning issues revolving not just around health impacts
but also social and law enforcement
repercussions in states which have
previously approved some form of
legalization.
A draft bill introduced in the
Senate Federal and State Affairs
Committee last week would set up a
pilot medical cannabis program in
the state (a draft bill is a bill which
has not yet been officially read into
the legislature, and as yet is not
assigned a number and has no formal standing) and mandate distribution of medical cannabis through
licensed pharmacies, sidestepping
dispensary distribution which has
been problematic in many other
states that have approved similar
measures. But like its predecessors,
that bill is likely to struggle for
favor in a Legislative venue attuned
to the problems legalized pot even
medicinal has caused in the rest of
the country.
The measure is a follow-up to
a Senate bill heard in the same
committee last year but which
received no floor action from Senate
leadership. Senate President Ty
Masterson has expressed his disdain for the idea of medical marijuana in Kansas, and the bill received
no floor debate in the last session.
The Kansas House passed a medical
marijuana bill in 2021, but no action
was taken to the Senate.
In a statement released to state
media, Sam Jones, Chief Operating
Officer of Kansas Natural remedies,
a Wichita-based indoor hemp producer which testified in favor of
past medical marijuana bills in the
state, said the new bill was written
specifically to address legislators
previous concerns as well as criminal and other problems arising

ROMMELFANGER
MAY 12, 1936 APRIL 3, 2024
Rosalie Rommelfanger, age
87, of Garnett, Kansas, passed
away on Wednesday, April
3, 2024, at
St.
Lukes
H o s p i c e
House
in
Kansas City,
Missouri.
Rosalie
Elizabeth
Feuerborn
was
born Rommelfanger
on
May
12, 1936, in
Garnett, Kansas. She was the
second of six children born
to Matthew J. and Irene B.
(Pickert) Feuerborn. Rosalie
started school in the one-room
Earnest Schoolhouse east of
Garnett and then attended
Irving Elementary until the
Holy Angels Catholic School
opened. She later graduated
from Garnett High School. On
July 4, 1957, Rosalie was united
in marriage to Leonard Joseph
Rommelfanger, in Garnett,
Kansas. Their union was blessed with four children.
Throughout her working
years, Rosalie worked a variety of jobs, such as working as
a dental assistant after high
school. While her children
were young, she was able to
stay at home with them until
they started school. She later
worked alongside Leonard
in their business, Cardinal
Service. Rosalie spent many
years managing her dress
shops, Mode O Day and then
Fashion Crossroads. She
then worked as a waitress
at Sherwood Inn and later at
Tradewinds alongside her sisters. She fulfilled her needs to
stay busy, serve others and be
among friends in the community. Rosalie was a lifelong member of Holy Angels Catholic
Church and the Altar Society.
She enjoyed playing cards with
friends and family.
Rosalie did not have the
usual hobbies; she was never
found to be idle. She loved people and never met a stranger. If
you ever made a ten minute
trip to the store with her, you
understand what that meant.
She was a proud grandmother
and loved spending time with
her grandkids. Family get-togethers were not complete
without her homemade chicken and noodles, bread, and rice
krispy treats.
She was preceded in death
by her parents, her husband
Leonard on March 27, 2017, and
two sisters, Lois Miller and
Donna Carr.
Rosalie is survived by
her children and their families: Karen Greiner and
husband David of Bolivar,
Missouri, Gary Rommelfanger
and wife Kathy of Garnett,
Kansas, Jeanine Troyer and
husband Ken of Colorado
Springs, Colorado, and Alan
Rommelfanger and wife Dr.
Ramona Kyaw of Thousand
Oaks, California, nine grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and five great great
grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Dorothy
Lickteig and husband Cecil
of Garnett, and two brothers,
Leon Feuerborn of Altamont,
Kansas and Carl Feuerborn
of Eudora, Kansas, and many
nieces and nephews.
Mass of Christian Burial
was held April 6, 2024, at
Holy Angels Catholic Church
in Garnett. In lieu of flowers
Rosalies family suggest memorial contributions be made
to the Holy Angels Church
Building Fund or to St. Rose
School and left in care of the
funeral home. Condolences
may be left for the family at

Colony Christian Church Now is the time!
– 3/31 & 4/7 sermons
A Good Friday, March 29,
combined community service
was held at High Point Cowboy
Church in Colony Friday evening with Randy Maple and
Terri Louk providing worship
music. Chase Riebel, Colony
Christian Church pastor,
entertained the children with
a story about how to focus on
Jesus. Dorothy Welch, pastor
of Colony Methodist Church,
talked about the sign that was
placed above Jesus when He
was crucified. It read, "Jesus
of Nazareth, King of the Jews."
The Jewish priests protested
that it should instead read"He claimed to be King of the
Jews," but the sign remained
unchanged, Jesus was King of
the Jews. A testimony given
by Nicky Beckmon questioned
how Judas could have been a
follower of Jesus yet still betray
Him. If we are following Jesus
and it's not changing us, then
we should question whether
we are truly following Jesus.
Wayne Minckley, pastor of
High Point Cowboy Church,
gave communion prayer and
Paula Minckley gave the closing prayer.
Colony Christian Church
gathered at the new building
location on Easter morning at
sunrise to remember and proclaim God's promises and to
rejoice in the resurrection.
For the regular Sunday
service on March 31, Pastor
Chase Riebel continued the
Resurrection Series with "A
New Day." What looked like the
last day of Jesus' life on Earth
was actually preparing the way
for a whole New Day. Our last
day on Earth will mean a New
Day for us in Heaven. Noah
Gordon's communion meditation explained that, although
God poured out His wrath on
Christ on the Cross, in His
mercy He allowed us to benefit
from Christ's perfect sacrifice.
It was announced that a boy's
home in Iquitos, Peru received
the Samaritan Purse shoeboxes
that were sent at Christmas.
Worship songs were "Christ is
Risen From the Dead," "Victory
in Jesus," "In Christ Alone" and
"That Rugged Cross."
During the April 7 service,
Howard Reiter gave communion meditation titled The
Bus Driver using 1 John 4:
7-12. A group of teenagers spent
time in England and Scotland
ministering with music to
thousands, not realizing that
their unbelieving bus driver
was being heavily impacted by
his association with them.
Guest Speaker Eric Spaulding
from Hidden Haven Christian
Camp in Thayer, Kansas spoke
about the camp having its 75th
anniversary. The camp gives
kids a chance to step back
from social media and connect
with others in a fun environment. Spaulding also spoke
from Matthew 5:13 explaining
why Jesus called His followers
the salt of the earth. Salt was
so important in that day that
Roman soldiers were paid in
salt and is where the word salary comes from. Salt is pure, is
a preservative and adds flavor
which are all things that make
a believer a useful servant in
the church.
Brinley McGhee led worship
accompanied by Mike and Elka
Billings, Anna Riebel and Petra
Billings on percussion. Songs
were The Blessing, Old
Rugged Cross, Holy Forever
and More Like Jesus.
Regular Sunday service
begins at 10:45 a.m.
2×2 Good
Shepherd
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
As I said it will take money and
effort to take the church into
the world. However I believe
the opportunities have never
been greater.
We live in a time of great
confusion, misrepresentation,
economic hardship and lack of
confidence in our leadership.
To some extent this can be laid
at the feet of the church because
we have become so timid and
have allowed ourselves to be
pushed back on a reservation,
our own property. Almighty
God is the one who directs
the course of nations and he
responds to the condition of
the hearts of his people and
if our hearts are right before
him there is no adversary that
will overcome us, no economic problem he wont shepherd
us through. Conversely if our
hearts are turned away from
him and we have plunged into
ungodliness and immorality
there is no defense that will
protect us from his judgment.

Shane Walter, superin-
The church is referred to
as local assembly of believers as well as the redeemed
of all ages who follow Jesus
Christ as Savior and Lord.
Unfortunately many churchs
feel that their only function
is to hold church on Sunday.
The purpose of the church is to
attract and lead people to a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ. In fact to successfully
do this will require money and
effort from the existing congregation. There exists within
every community people who
need to be introduced to a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ. How does this happen?
We must meet them where they
are currently. If these people
are not touched by the church
how will they ever meet Jesus?
The key is to get disciples out of
the church into the community.
If we share our life with these
people they will quite likely
find out we are not as bad as we
are made out to be. Doing life
with someone does not mean
we compromise our relationship with Jesus Christ. If we do
that we have lost before we get
started. It has been my experience that people are looking
for something more than they
have and they may not know
what it is. I have found God
will put people in the place he
wants them to hear the gospel.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, April 9, 2024
Its not just Kansas hating on wind & solar
All around the world, big solar and wind
projects are being rejected. from rural England
to the Osage Nation in Oklahoma, local communities are telling alt energy developers to
take their projects and put them where the sun
doesnt shine and the wind doesnt blow.
As documented in the renewable rejection
database there have been at least 639 rejections
or restrictions of wind or solar projects in the us
alone since 2015.
Why are so many communities objecting?
The answer is simple; landowners and homeowners want to preserve the integrity of their
neighborhoods.
They dont want their landscapes and views
destroyed by oceans of solar panels and forrests
of 600-foot high wind turbines. They are also
rightly concerned about the diminution of their
property values and the noise pollution that
comes with those projects.
Dont blame yourself if you havent heard
about these rejections. The widespread opposition to wind and solar doesnt fit the narrative thats relentlessly pushed by the New
York Times, national public radio and other big
media outlets about the energy transition and
clean energy, nor do they fit with claims made
by the Biden Administration which has repeatedly touted its goal of having a carbon pollution
free Power sector by 2035.
These myriad rejections are a massive problem for corporate interests that are trying to
build huge new wind and solar projects. Indeed
rural communities are standing between big
business and tens of billions of dollars in tax
credits.
According to the latest numbers from the U.S.
Treasury, this year alone the production tax
credit (used primarily for wind energy) and the
investment tax credit (primarily used for solar)
will cost taxpayers $35 billion. For reference the
oil and gas industries most significant tax credit, the depletion allowance, will cost taxpayers
about $1.6 billion.
Given the vast sums at stake, its not surprising that lobbyists for the wind and solar sectors
are pushing measures that strip local communities of their zoning authority and hand that
authority to state bureaucrats. In fact, four heavily Democratic states, New York, California,
Michigan and Illinois, have recently passed
measures that do precisely that.
But before delving further into whats happening across the U.S., heres a quick roundup
of whats happening overseas:
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
ROBERT BRYCE AUTHOR
Last december, a French court ruled that
a wind project in southern France near the
town of Luna must be dismantled due to noise
complaints from residents and the effect it is
having on birds. According to one news report,
residents in the immediate surrounding area
have long complained about the noise from the
windfarm.
In March a judge in Ireland sided with local
landowners and ruled that the noise pollution
generated by a wind project in County Wexford,
built near their properties amounted to a nuisance to the plaintiffs. The judge also wrote, I
find that the plaintiffs complaints are objectively justified in that the noise interferes with the
ordinary comfort and enjoyment of their homes.
When it occurs, this interference is a substantial
interference. Damages in the case have yet to
be determined.
In England, the solar rejections are piling
up so fast its challenging to keep track. Since
January, local authorities have rejected a 102acre project in Cambridgeshire, a 198-acre project in Holbeach, a 66-acre project in Kent, a
96-acre product in Herefordshire, and a 103-acre
project in Coventry.
After the rejection of the Holbeach solar
project, a local politician, Nick Worth, said the
land should be used for farming, not energy. We
should be producing more food, not less, particularly on the best land in the country.
In January, an Australian court rejected an
application for a 10 megawatt solar project proposed near Mudgee in New South Wales. The
ruling confirmed the judgment of a regional
council that had determined the project would
be an alien feature on the landscape and

Its another sham case of fascist Democrat legal
warfare to steal the 2024 election. Trump called
for judge Merchan to recuse himself since he
had contributed to the Biden campaign and his
daughter, Lauren Merchan, is a major Democrat
activist raising money for Biden. The Democrat
demonic liars then shriek that Trump attacked
and threatened the judge and his daughter.
It was Democrat Senate leader Schumer who
directly threatened by name supreme court
justices, saying you wont know what hit you,
then the Democrat mobs illegally targeted the
private homes of those justices and their families, including the attempted Democrat assassination of Kavanaugh and his family.

Capitol stroll on J6 may send great-grandma,71, to jail
After being strung up on charges by President
Joe Bidens Department of Justice (DOJ), a
71-year-old great-grandmother may be thrown in
jail because she walked around the Capitol for a
few minutes on Jan. 6, 2021.
Rebecca Lavrenz was convicted on four
counts Thursday after just three days of jury
deliberation for entering the Capitol on J6.
Lavrenz entered the building through an open
door around 2:43 p.m., according to the official
statement of facts.
Lavrenz told The American Spectators Jack
Cashill that she felt that if those doors [on the
east side of the building] opened I was supposed
to go through.
Lavrenz exited the Capitol around 2:53 p.m.,
just 10 minutes after entering, having briefly
spoken to at least one Capitol Police Officer
before leaving, according to the statement of
facts.
Two FBI agents showed up on April 19, 2021,
to Lavrenzs home in Colorado. Lavrenz told the
agents she was in the middle of baking a cake for
her son and asked if they could return at a different time, according to The American Spectator.
The agents returned one week later for a consensual interview, according to the statement
of facts.
After months of investigation, agents reportedly told Lavrenz she should be grateful the weaponized agency would only charge the self-described praying great-grandmother with four
misdemeanor charges for entering a building
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
BRIANNA LYMAN THE FEDERALIST
her tax dollars pay for.
Glad? Lavrenz reportedly said. I shouldnt
be charged with anything.
Lavrenz was charged with entering and
remaining in a restricted building or grounds;
disorderly conduct and disruptive conduct in a
restricted building or grounds; disorderly conduct in a capitol; and parading, demonstrating,
or picketing in a capitol, according to the criminal complaint.
According to the Colorado Springs Gazette,
Lavrenz could face up to a year in prison and
fines of over $200,000, not including legal fees.
My country is treating me like a criminal
because I believe that they stole my rightful
president, Lavrenz said in an emotional video
posted to social media. And just standing up
for my country makes me a criminal and its not
right, it feels so weird to be here.
Stewart Parks, who was sentenced to eight
months in prison after being convicted of the
same charges as Lavrenz along with theft of
government property after he picked up a metal
detector wand and walked around with it for
a period of time, said on The Vicki McKenna
Show that the Biden administration is trying to
send a message that the so-called wrong kind of
political protests wont be tolerated.
If you think about it, my house was raided
and I was arrested on June 2, 2021, so Ive been
on a form of probation since that day, Parks
said. I could have had four or five years if they
had done it consecutively. These punishments
are just way too harsh for a crime that wasnt
committed.
The left has tried to portray Jan. 6 as a violent insurrection despite video footage and
witness testimony contradicting the narrative.
Tapes from the Capitol on Jan. 6 released by
Speaker Mike Johnson after being withheld by
former Speaker Nancy Pelosi show dozens of
peaceful demonstrators walking through the
Capitol as officers escort them or stand by, seemingly unconcerned.

On The View theres no room for racial colorblindness
Writer Coleman Hughes went on The
View and was greeted almost as though he
had shown up wearing a white hood.
Hughes, a soft-spoken black intellectual
who is a political independent, was talking
about his new book, The End of Race Politics:
Arguments for a Colorblind America.
Once upon a time, colorblindness was an
uncontroversial idea. It was considered a core
American ideal and worth aspiring to, even
if we were failing to live up to it. In recent
decades, though, it has run into a buzz-saw of
opposition. It clashes with the Lefts near-theological commitment to racial preferences, especially on college campuses, and with fashionable new forms of left-wing racialism.
So it is naive, out-of-date, and, worse, even
a tool of oppression used by sneaky racists to
hide their malignant designs in lofty rhetoric.
This was the attitude of co-host Sunny Hostin
when Hughes showed up on set. She declared
that colorblindness has been co-opted by
conservatives and that the widely respected
Hughes is a charlatan. For the offense, mind
you, of arguing that people should be treated
equally regardless of their race.
Thoughtless even by the standards of a
panelist of The View, Hostin was easily outmatched by Hughes, who pushed back without
getting flustered or raising his voice. He even
won occasional applause from the studio audience for ideas that still, despite all that has
been done to belittle them, have strong common-sense appeal in America.
As Coleman notes in his book, a devotion to
colorblindness runs through some of the most
honored writers and activists in American
history, the likes of Frederick Douglass,
Wendell Phillips, Zora Neale Hurston, A.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
Philip Randolph, Bayard Rustin and, of course,
Martin Luther King Jr.
The Left always wants to retroactively enlist
MLK for woke racial causes and thinking, but
Hughes convincingly locates the great civil
rights leader firmly within the colorblind tradition.
In a statement that might now earn him an
unfriendly reception on college campuses (or
on the set of The View), King maintained,
Black supremacy is as dangerous as white
supremacy, and God is not interested merely in
the freedom of black men and brown men and
yellow men. God is interested in the freedom of
the whole human race.
Such a majestic belief in what unites us as
persons and Americans can only scandalize
todays so-called anti-racists, whom Hughes
deems, more accurately, neo-racists. They
have much in common with the white supremacists that they array themselves against. They
both deny our common humanity, Hughes
writes. They both deny that all races are cre-
ated equal. They both agree that some races
are superior to others, and they both agree that
not all people deserve to be treated equally in
society.
The neo-racist project is nonetheless ascendant in Americas elite institutions, and a
narrative of racial conflict has gained more
traction in recent years. Hughes attributes the
sense of worsening race relations since 2013
to the rise of social media and the accelerated
spread of racially charged false stories and
myths. Weve talked, and clicked, our way into
believing we are in a state of racial crisis.
The neo-racists fan the dissension by attributing any racial disparity in America to racism
and ignoring the influence of demographics,
geography and especially culture. They disregard, or disparage, all the indicators of racial
progress, which are inconvenient to their simplistic condemnations of American society as
fundamentally and irredeemably racist.
For Hughes, the alternatives are a grim
world in which whites and non-white eternally swap the roles of the oppressor and the
oppressed, or a world where we recommit
ourselves to the principles that motivated the
civil rights movement. This wouldnt seem
a difficult choice. Yet, the very notion of colorblindness is now anathema to much of progressive America. Sunny Hostin is sadly representative in her reflexive hostility to the belief
that we should — and can — treat one another
without regard to race. So much the worse for
her.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
Democrat Party racist big news propaganda
outlets like MSNBC, so they are ignorant
about outrages like Bidens program that
has flown in now over 300,000 from hell holes
like Haiti where rampaging gangs are raping

is now being brought here by Biden and the
Democrats. They use a Biden Administration

checks because there are no accessible
records. Republican Governors tried to stop
this, but were shut down by Democrat courts.

HISTORY
A few more earlier finds BRYCE…
After waiting for some nice
weather and getting my truck
out of the shop, I was able to
sneak in two really nice days
before getting rained out on my
third trip. It sure was great to
be able to get out in the field
once again. Since I havent
taken any photos of things
found on those two days, I will
be showing you three artifacts
found earlier.
I sure need help on identifying the iron artifacts Ive
been finding at my farm site.
So please call or e-mail me if
you know anything about my
unidentified finds.
#1 – This is a very heavy,thick
glass ashtray. It is damaged on
one corner and shows evidence
of lots of use on the bottom.
#2 – This is a very ornate
carved black glass button. If
you look closely youll see the
face of a Roman soldier or
someone.
#3 – This is an iron artifact
Ive seen numerous times, however I sure dont know what it
is. Its one of those that I need
help identifying. HELP!

that the area would be irreversibly changed by the 25,000
solar panel facility.
Last year, in Canada, regulators in Alberta imposed a
moratorium on all wind and
solar projects. In February
provincial officials announced
updates to their regulations,
including a ban on alt-energy
projects on prime agricultural
land.
Further, in an unprecedented move, the rules will
require a 35 km( 21.7) buffer
zone between wind and solar
facilities and protected areas or
pristine landscapes. Alberta
Premier Danielle Smith said
the new regulations were made
in response to Alberta residents who dont want largescale developments to interfere
with our provinces most beau-
tiful natural features.
Back here in the U.S., in
February, local officials in
Tennessee vetoed a proposed
solar project that was supposed
to help fuel a data center owned
by Facebook parent Meta
Platforms, According to The
Memphis Commercial Appeal,
a proposed solar farm that
was slated to occupy about 600
acres of land in Millington was
denied by the Shelby County
Board of Commissioners
Monday evening, amid fervent
opposition from residents.
The Shelby County denial is one of 212 rejections or
restrictions of solar that have
occurred since 2017.
Meanwhile as we show in
our new five- part docuseries,
Juice: Power, Politics & The
Grid, The Osage Tribe is prevailing in the longest running
legal battle over wind energy in
American history. In December
a federal judge in Tulsa ruled
that Enel, the Italian company,
violated the tribes sovereignty
when it built a 150 megawatt
wind project on Osage traditional land but did not obtain
mining leases from the tribe.
The judge ordered the company
to remove all 84 wind turbines,
which the company says will
cost about $300 million dollars.
The tribes legal battle with
Enel started in 2011. Its court
victory is a historic win for
Native American sovereignty.
The federal court ruling is
an embarrassing and costly
loss for Enel and a massive
black eye for the U.S. wind
industry, which has repeatedly tried to roll over rural
communities in its inexorable
thirst for tax credits.. Despite
the importance of the decision,

have tax. With unpredictable property taxes you can be taxed for money
you dont have and be evicted and your home confiscated by the government if you cant pay up. It is an outrage that you must pay rent to the
government for a home you own and must pay the government an annual
additional fee forever for any improvement. All while corporations like
the green energy scam boondoggles get property tax exemptions, piling
more of the tax burden on the rest of us.

I was just thinking with everything going on in this world theres just not
enough kindness right now. We cant even be kind to a neighbor, we cant
be kind to anyone who doesnt see our point of view which is rude and
obnoxious. In the Phone Forum theres a lot of hate there, its all about
politics. Its really sad because this is our world, all of our world. How
about we start right now in Garnett and try to be kind to each other and
extend an olive branch so to speak. Its turmoil and its only going to get
worse for our children.
Trump did not pay the slain police officers mortgage. It was paid by a
non-profit organization Tunnels to Towers. Who would even think Trump
would do something so kind? And if you think there was any credible sexual assault evidence against Biden they would just let it go? Trump had
an office in China during his administration and also a bank account. He
tried to pursue licensing deals, then allowed Chinas biggest state-owned
bank to rent three floors of Trump Tower. All Biden did was acknowledge
trans day because it always falls on March 31st for years and years. Easter
just happened to fall on that day.
I agree its horrible that those lives are lost in the food kitchen chain that
was trying to get into Gaza. When did the United States ever change their
methods when Red Cross personnel were shot in other wars? Seems like
we kind of have a double standard here. Maybe we need to look at ourselves a little more. Thank you.
The fascist criminal Biden Administration is pulling out all the stops to
steal the 2024 election. Not only after publicly calling for his prosecution
targeting Trump with his DOJ and local Democrat prosecutors who met
at Bidens White House to coordinate, but also illegally ordering all federal agencies to work with Democrat organizations to register Democrat
voting blocks such as welfare recipients, indoctrinated college students
and, prison inmates.
With all this political stuff and everything. I remember a couple of weeks
ago, out of the mouths of babes, Trump said if hes not elected theres going
to be a bloodbath. Id appreciate you printing that in your newspaper.
media.
Legacy media outlets may
refuse to honestly report on
the growing backslash against
wind and solar projects, but the
facts on the ground are clear:
The binding constraint on
the growth of solar and wind
around the world is that fewer
and fewer communities are
willing to accept the landscape
destruction that comes with
large alt-energy projects. And
no amount of PR or spin can
change that fact.

Pitching and defense expected
strength of Bulldogs baseball
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Another year,
same expectations for the
Anderson County Bulldogs
baseball team heading into the
2024 baseball season.
Look to compete for a
league title and a state appearance, sixth year ACHS head
coach Travis Persinger said.
We pride ourselves in
working hard and being
prepared for every game,
Persinger added.
Two years ago the program
finished the season 21-2 and
won the league title. Last year
the record regressed slightly as AC finished 14-6 with a
season ending loss to Heritage
Christian Academy in substate.
Coach Persinger has to
replace several seniors that
had started 2 or 3 years at the
varsity level so it wont be an
easy task.
Dallas Kueser and Garrison
Martin are just two of them
that went on to play baseball
at the college level at Neosho
County and Coffeyville respectively.
Braxton
Spencer
and
Braden Blaufuss will also be
missed.
Pitching and defense are
usually the key to success in
baseball and Coach Persinger
thinks his team will have a
good pitching staff with solid
defense behind it.
The Bulldogs schedule is
tough this year.
We have a tough league
plus some tough non-league
games this year, Persinger
stated with hopes that a tough

Experienced ACHS Lady
Bulldogs seeking chemistry
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT No doubt the
Anderson County girls softball team is returning plenty of
experience, the question early
in the season is if they can gel
as an overall team.
Maria Bowman, ACHS head
coach, is in her 3rd season at
the helm of the Bulldogs.
To build on last years 7-13
record, Coach Bowman thinks
her team needs to develop
chemistry.
My goad is to create positive chemistry between the
girls this year, Bowman stated.
On the field we need to
strengthen communication
and be more aggressive on the
bases, Bowman added.
Bowman will have to do
this despite losing Tarin Rues,
Kalina Edgecomb and Mallory
Wheat from last years team.
Rues had great leadership
skills and Edgecomb and
Wheat both hit right around
the .400 mark on the season.
Coach Bowman has 8
returning letterwinners to
work with. The seniors are
Brooke Galey, Caitlyn Foltz,
Brenna Kohlmeier, Reagan
Witherspoon and Aubrey
Thompson. They will be joined
by junior Ava Mills and sophomore Brylie Kohlmeier and
Avery Coyer.
Joining them on the varsity squad will be Kailyn Honn,
Addyson Ladewig, Brook
Hughes, Bree Welsh and Bree
Shafer.
The athletic trio of
Kohlmeier, Foltz and Galey
will lead the way.
Kohlmeier led the team last
year in batting average, .475,
with 5 home runs and also had
9 stolen bases. She has committed to continue to play college
softball at Neosho Community
College.
Foltz hit .378 last year with 2
home runs and 7 stolen bases.
She will continue in college
as well but is playing basketball at Fort Scott Community
College.
Galey, a volleyball commit
to Hutchinson Community
College, hit .316 last year with
2 home runs and 5 stolen bases.
Competition will be tough
this year though within the
league. A couple of pitchers
the Bulldogs will face this
year already have committed
to play at Pittsburg State and
Kansas University.
Thank goodness she didnt

ACHS golfer shoot for league title and state appearance
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT ACHS head coach
A.C. Russell is no stranger to
coaching at Anderson County,
but this will be his first year
taking over the golf program.
Coach Russell has been
coaching football, baseball,
basketball golf and soccer for
30 years, with the last 6 of them
coming at Anderson County.
He has a solid trio of juniors
to lead his squad this year
in juniors Eli Martin, Isaak
Porter and Noah Porter.
Eli is the top golfer on the
team and will help the younger
players as will both Isaak and
Noah, Coach Russell stated.
This group will carry the
weight of the team all season.
The teams success in
league, regional and state will
be determined by how that trio
develops throughout the season.
They will be replacing Lane
Richards and Carter Blome,
graduating seniors from last
year.
Last year Martin finished
27th at state after finishing 21st
as a freshman.
The key to improvement lies
in honing the short game.

our short game and gain more
confidence on short and medium putts, Coach Russell said.
It can eliminate that extra
stroke or two that can cost a
golfer a position on the platform at the end of the year.
Another challenge the golf-
ers face is the lack of sand traps
at the Garnett golf course.
Since we dont have sand
traps at Garnett Country Club
but some courses we do play
do, we will get some work
at various area courses that
have traps so we can work on
that part of our game. Coach
added.
The goal for the AC boys is
to send a pair of golfers to the
state tournament and have one
place inside the top 10.

are led by 7th year coach
Roland Weir as they look to
continue their recent success.
Two years ago the Lancers
were 24-2, league champs,
regional champs and finished
4th at state and last year they
finished 20-1 but came just
short of a returning to state losing the regional championship
game to Kansas City Christian

Graduating from last years
team was a solid core that will
be tough to replace. Trevor
Church, Avery Blaufuss,
Holden Barker, Stetson Setter,
Jack White and Karter Miller
all moved on.
Seniors Jerry Rodriguez,
Rogan Weir, Ryan Golden,
Brayden Goodell, Logan
Kistner and Zander Robb will
be looked to lead the team.
Junior Kaelin Nilges will be
relied on heavily to replace the
strong pitching staff lost from
last year and also expects to big
a big part offensively.
Other underclassmen making contributions early on this
year are Henry White, Drake
Weir and Jensen Barker.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – A solid core of Crest
Lancer track & field athletes
are returning from last years
successful team and also are
sprinking in some underclassment that have the ability to
add to their success as a team.
Second year coach Kaitlyn
Cummings likes the make-up of
her squad.
I believe our teams are
both going to do well in team
standing. We have many athletes who are will put forth
key efforts in many areas,
Cummings said.
Gone from last year are state
qualifiers Ethan Godderz and
Brinley McGhee.
Seniors Jerry Rodriquez and
Brenton Edgerton for the boys
and Mia Coleman for the girls
are leading a strong core of
athletes.
On the boys side juniors
Gunner Ellington, Gentry
McGhee, Elijay Taylor, Jacob
Zimmerman and Ryan West
along with sophomore Blaine
King will be looking to contribute to the teams success.
On the girls side, after
Coleman it is all sophomores
for the Lady Lancers. They
are Peyton Schmidt, Aubrey
Allen, Kim Coleman, Kinley
Edgerton, Lizzie Ellington,
Kaelin Nilges and Josie Walter.
Last year Schmidt qualified individually for state in
the 800 meter and 3200 meter
runs, Josie Walter in the 1600
meter and 3200 meter runs and
McGhee and Coleman in the
100 meter hurdles.
Also, the Lady Lancers had
a 4×100, 4×400 and 4×800 relay
team compete at state as well.
The boys had Godderz compete in both the long jump and
triple jump and Ellington in
the 1600 meter run. They also
had a 4×100 team run at state.
Cummings concluded, This
year we are very strong in
numbers, I believe this plays
a big role for us. These athletes are willing to put forth the
effort to do their best.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND The expectations
are at an incredibly high level
heading into the 2024 season

Qualifying last year for state
was the 4×800 team consisting of
Christian McCord, Owen Miller,

Also qualifying individually
was Hammond in the 800 meter
and Burkdoll in the 3200 meter
runs. They finished 2nd and

Young Lady Vikings squad looking to build chemistry with new coaching staff
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND The pressure
is on a young Central Heights
Lady Vikings softball team following an impressive 20-2 season last year and a state runner-up finish the year before.
This years team will look
completely different as the
Vikings are replacing handful
of seniors that graduated last
year and have a new coach this
year, Jayme Secrest.
While Coach Secrest is new
to the program she has coached
middle school softball for 15
years.
Making the task even tougher is their is only one senior on
the team, Emma Bird, a threeyear letterwinner.
Gone are seniors Bailey
Brockus, Taylor Chrisjohn,
Jadynn Criqui, Mieka Crump
and Erykah Haynes.
Juinors Sydney Evans, Jaley
Ferguson, Melany Chirjohn and
Abigail Roullett will be expected to step into the leadership
roles.
Sophomores Kam Rubick,
Lyla
Hamblin,
Bryleigh
Morrow, Ashley Harkin,
Aracely Crump, Alaina Wade,
Kaylyn Lee and Macy Cubit will
be joined by freshmen Jordyn
Evans and Cayleigh Latimer to
fill out the roster.
We will face challenges
simply because we are a young
team, Coach Secrest said. We
lost many good softball players
and are undergoing new coaching. I would say we are good
in the middle. We are ready to
come out and compete but are
learning new things as we go.
Early in the season it will be
a learning process for the coaches as much as the players.
We are working on feeling
out the girls and where we can
maximize their success, Coach
said as they evaluate the talent
on their team. Some girls will
be put into positions they have
not played but are thriving at.
We are pushing girls out of their
comfort zones to find the best
spots for all of them.
Success will be a group effort
and wont come without challenges.
Coach Secrest added, Our
goal is to build the program. We
have such a young team with
talent. With any new coach,
buy-in for the players is key.
As coaches, we must invest in
these girls so they invest in the
sport.

BBB Tip: Buying tickets to the big
game or concert? Don't get scammed
Securing tickets to popular
sporting events and concerts
can be difficult and competitive.
Many stadiums and venues
have gone to only accepting digital tickets, making the possibility for scams all the more likely.
There are countless ways for
consumers to find tickets and
connect with online marketplaces, ticket sellers, and resellers.
Unfortunately, some are ripoffs, and it's unclear how to tell
if a ticket is fake. Last year,
the Better Business Bureau
(BBB) received hundreds of
reports on BBB Scam Tracker
about ticket scams related to
sporting events, concerts, theatre, and more. BBB warns
consumers to be smart when
searching for and purchasing
tickets to ensure they purchase
from a trustworthy source. BBB
and the National Association
of Ticket Brokers (NATB) are
working to raise awareness and
educate fans about the smartest
ways to buy tickets on the secondary resale market.
BBB recommends that people
download their tickets to a digital wallet before the event. With
large crowds outside the stadium or venue, cell phone service
may be spotty, making it harder
to access your ticket.
Like scammers found a way
into the paper ticket arena, they
will do what they can to get into
the digital ticket game.
Here are some tips for buying
tickets, whether you are looking
for tickets for a game, concert
tickets, or any other event:
Purchase from the venue
whenever possible. Many official ticket sales agents now offer
secondary sales options, as well.
Consider your source. Know
the difference between a professional ticket broker (a legitimate and accredited reseller),
a ticket scalper (an unregulated
and unlicensed ticket seller),
and a scammer selling scam
tickets.
Check out the seller/broker. Look them up on BBB.org
to learn what other customers
have experienced. Check to
see if they are a member of the
National Association of Ticket
Brokers. NATB members offer
a 200% purchase guarantee on
tickets. Look up the seller on
VerifiedTicketSource.com to
confirm you are buying from a
NATB-member resale company.
Buy only from trusted vendors. Buy online only from vendors you know and trust. Look
for the lock symbol in the web
address to indicate a secure
purchasing system. Dont click
through emails or online ads; a
common ticket scam trick is to
create a web address that is similar to a well-known company.
Know the refund policy.
Advertise.
You should only purchase tickets from a ticket reseller that
provides clear details about the
terms of the transaction. Sellers
should disclose to the purchaser, before purchase, the location
of the seats represented by the
tickets, either orally or by reference to a seating chart; and,
if the tickets are not available
for immediate access to the purchaser, disclose when the tickets will ship or be available for
pick up.
Use payment methods that
come with protection. Always
use a credit card so you have
some recourse if the tickets are
not as promised. Debit cards,
wire transfers, or cash transactions are risky; if the tickets are
fraudulent, you wont be able to
get your money back.
Be wary of advertisements.
When you search the web for
online tickets, advertisements
for cheap tickets will often
appear. Use good judgment;
some ads will be ticket scams,
especially if the prices are low.
If youre unsure, verify your
tickets. Pay a visit to the arena
where the event will be held.
Present your ticket to Will
Call (customer service), and
they can verify if your ticket is
legitimate and show you how to
tell if it is fake.

ers of dispensaries that offer
medical marijuana products
participate in illicit trade that
law enforcement says directly
feeds foreign cartels harvesting
weed in the northern part of
the state. These farms operate
under harsh conditions and
are documented flashpoints of
human trafficking and other
violent crime, California and
federal officials say.
California is not the only
state whose plan for relief has
backfired. In Michigan, which
legalized medical marijuana in
2008, the high cost of medical
cannabis as well as barriers
to implementing new regulations and maintaining proper
licenses for dispensaries has
reduced medical sales while
inflating recreational sales
substantially, according to the
states Cannabis Regulatory
Agency. Smoking cannabis recreationally can reduce cognitive function and coordination,
suppress immune responses,
impair cardiovascular activity,
and increase the risk of heart
attack and stroke.
Medical marijuana has
empowered crime in states
where, like Kansas, recreational cannabis is still outlawed.
Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics
(OBN)
director
Donnie
Anderson stated in January
that since 2021, OBN has shut
down more than 3,000 marijuana grows, arrested over 200
individuals, and seized nearly
800,000 pounds of marijuana
as part of criminal investigations of license fraud and
black market gang activity.
In November 2022 a Chinese
national gunned down four
other fellow Chinese immigrants at an illegal grow facility in Kingfisher County, Okla.
Nationwide, law officers say
Chinese organized crime has
come to dominate the illicit
marijuana trade, serving wider
demand generated by legalization efforts for both medical
and recreational pot use.
Despite its appeal, medical marijuana may not be as
medicinally beneficial as its
supporters maintain. Research
shows that marijuana is in fact
an addictive substance that
particularly impacts fetuses,
adolescents, and young adults.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control, studies on the
therapeutic benefits of medical
marijuana including chronic
pain relief are widely accepted but generally scientifically
inconclusive.
In 2022, a Massachusetts
General
Hospital
study
revealed that medical cannabis
failed to improve anxiety and
depression and put users at
risk of developing cannabis use
disorder. Medical users were
also twice as likely to develop addiction, according to the
study.
Speed Kills: AAA urges drivers to slow down
WICHITA, Kan. From city
streets to rural highways,
speeding has become a growing
threat on Americas roadways.
Crash data shows passengers,
pedestrians and drivers of other
vehicles are being put at risk
as well as the speeding driver.
For the past two decades, speeding has been a factor in about
one-third of all motor vehicle
fatalities nationwide, according to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA).
Kansas is not immune to the
excessive dangers and tragedy related to speeding:
According
to
Kansas
Department of Transportation
(KDOT) crash statistics, there
were more than 52,000 speed-related crashes, resulting in 836
deaths and nearly 22,000 injuries on Kansas roads between
2013 and 2022.
In 2022, KDOT states, there
were 4,890 speed-related crashes in Kansas, resulting in 77
fatalities and 1,460 injuries. The
highest number of crashes (949),
deaths (14) and injuries (290) all
involved that drivers in the age
15-19 group.
KDOT says costs associated
with Kansas crashes involving
speeding drivers amounted to
more than $1.9 billion in 2022.
From 2021 through 2023, the
Kansas Highway Patrol averaged more than 3,200 citations
each year for drivers speeding
more than 100 m.p.h. and more
than 15,400 citations annually
for 20 m.p.h. or more over the
speed limit.
While speeding is considered
a form of aggressive driving,
its causes arent limited to rage
behind the wheel.
Too many drivers think
speeding is harmless. They
habitually drive above the posted speed limit and dont see the
dangers of speeding through red
lights and crosswalks or racing past roadside workers, said
Shawn Steward, public affairs
manager for AAA Kansas. But
the lives lost due to speeding-related traffic crashes are a horrific reminder of what can result
when motorists exchange safe
driving for potentially reaching
their destination a few minutes
early. It can be a deadly and
costly trade.
Research confirms many
motorists dont see going over
the posted speed limit as bad
driving behavior or at least not
a habit that threatens the safety
of other road users.
The most recent AAA
Foundation for Traffic Safetys
Traffic Safety Culture Index
found that while a majority of
respondents believe driving
through a red light (83%) or
driving aggressively (89%) is
very or extremely dangerous,
that wasnt the case when the
same question was posed about
speeding.
In contrast to other bad driving behaviors, fewer drivers saw
speeding as a dangerous activity, with just 61% of respondents
believing that driving 10 mph
over the speed limit on residential streets is very or extremely
dangerous. Only 47% of respondents believed speeding 15 mph
over the speed limit on freeways
is very or extremely dangerous.
Effects of the pandemic
The International Institute of
Highway Safety (IIHS) believes
the problem with speeding can
be traced back to the pandemic. The absence of rush-hour
traffic prompted drivers to lean
harder on the gas pedal with a
clear lane ahead. Unfortunately,
national statistics show the
habit of speeding stuck around
even after traffic returned to
pre-pandemic levels. Higher
travel speeds have persisted,
along with other forms of risky
driving.
NHTSA analysis confirms
that speeding has become
both more common and more
extreme since the public health
emergency declaration in March
2020. Average speeds increased
during the last three quarters of
that year, and extreme speeds of
20 miles per hour or more above
the posted speed limit became
more prevalent. In addition,
speeding-related fatalities rose
by an estimated 11%.
Rural and urban roadways
While it may seem logical
that the greater incidence of
speeding-related fatalities occur
on highways, where posted
speed limits are already higher
than on urban streets, research
shows that isnt necessarily the
case.
A study released by the AAA
Foundation for Traffic Safety
in 2022 found speeding-related
fatalities on urban roadways
have been trending upward as
far back as 2010, with nearly half
of speeding-related urban fatalities occurring on streets with
speed limits of 35 mph or lower
and one out of five fatalities
involving angle collisions. The
study also found 38% of speeding-related fatalities occurred
near interchange areas.
AAAs research found that a
majority of victims were drivers of the speeding vehicle,
with male and/or young adults
overrepresented.
However,
other road users were often
injured fatally as well, including pedestrians, bicyclists, passengers in speeding vehicles,
and occupants in other vehicles. Fatalities that occurred
in other vehicles involved in
a speeding-related crash tended
to occur on higher-speed roads,
while non-motorist fatalities
occurred most often on lower-speed roads.
One of the factors contributing to the increased number
of speeding-related fatalities on
urban roadways is the death of
pedestrians and other non-motorized road users. In addition
to the victims age, the speed
at which a vehicle is traveling
when it strikes a pedestrian has
a profound impact on survivability. AAA Foundation for
Traffic Safety research found
that the average risk of severe
injury to a pedestrian struck by
a vehicle jumps from 24% at 23
mph to 90% at 46 mph. The risk
of death climbs from 10% at 23
mph to 50% at 42 mph.
Why the need for speed?
Research from AAA and
NHTSA point to a number of
factors that likely contribute to
speeding:
Changes in driving behav-
iors. As noted previously, a
number of poor driving behaviors, including speeding, became
more common during the pandemic, when fewer drivers were
on the road. Unfortunately,
those bad behaviors continue
today.
Running late. Drivers often
excuse their behavior with the
excuse that they have a long list
of places to go and are running
late to their next appointment
or activity, so they speed in an
effort to make up the time.
In reality, they are likely only
to shave off a few minutes in
reaching their destination, at
best.
Anonymity. Within the confines of their vehicles, some
drivers feel detached from the
outside world. This can leave
them less concerned with the
safety of others and overconfident in their own driving skills.
Traffic
congestion.
Slowdowns are annoying for
all, but some drivers become
angry, leading to a whole host
of aggressive driving behaviors, including speeding as well
as tailgating and abrupt lane
changes.
Disregard for the law. As
human behaviors behind the
wheel continue to evolve, it can
become more commonplace to
have less regard for law enforcement and fellow citizens, as
drivers look out for number
one.
Avoiding speedingrelated crashes
Although it isnt possible to
control another drivers behavior, there are steps you can take
to avoid becoming a victim of
a speeding-related crash. AAA
has these tips when encountering speeding motorists:
Let the vehicle pass. It isnt
your job to police other drivers.
If you are in the left lane and a
vehicle is tailgating you, move
over when safe to do so and let
them pass.
Give speeding drivers plenty
of space. Going over the speed
limit or driving too fast for
conditions reduces a drivers
ability to safely maneuver their
vehicle. Give speeding drivers
plenty of room because they
can lose control of their vehicle
more easily, potentially striking
other vehicles and pedestrians.
Adjust your driving accordingly. Speeding is tied to aggressive driving. If a speeding driver is tailgating you or trying
to engage you in risky driving,
safely steer your vehicle out of
the way and let them move on.
Call 911 if youre threatened.
Drivers who are speeding can
be reported to local police, but
if a driver threatens or attacks
you, call 911 immediately. As
with any aggressive driving situation, do not make eye contact
or engage in any way. Drive to
the nearest police station, fire
station, convenience store or
other public location with witnesses. Never drive home with
an aggressor following you.

BASEHOR On Friday, the
Anderson County boys and
girls both traveled to Basehor
for the Bobcat Relays, both

half of the 8-team invitational.
Earning top 6 finishes for

(29.78, 5th place) in the 200
meter dash, Rilyn Sommer
(1:05.58, 3rd) in the 400 meter
dash, Madilyn Reichard (56.58,

Vikings distance runners
continue to set the pace
OSAGE CITY The Central
Heights Vikings track &
field squad traveled to Osage
City last Tuesday and came
home with nearly 20 personal
records, which include some
top finishers among the boys
distance events as expected.
Facing off against the gusty
Kansas spring winds and a
solid field of competitors, the
Vikings still strung together
solid performances.
Viking head coach Troy
Prosser continues to see his
squad take strides, and early in
the year that is important. The
girls set eight personal records
between the sprints and the
throws and we got a pretty good
look at where we stand against
some top league foes,: Prosser
stated. Maisy, Arabella and
Addy even stepped out of their
comfort zones to compete in
some sprints normally not in
their repertoire while Hannah
and Alicen had some nice PRs
in their throws.
The boys had an outstanding showing on the day with
11 personal records, Prosser
added.
At the end of the day, we
came away feeling stronger in
a lot of ways and seeing areas
we can improve in every event
as well. Next week we travel to
Pleasanton, Shawnee Mission
South and Lawrence Free State
over the course of four days.
The highlight of the day
was the boys 800 meter run
in which Cody Hammond
(2:01.06), Connor Burkdoll
(2:05.75) and Christian McCord
(2:05.98) took the top 3 spots.
Burkdoll (4:44.84) and Owen
Miller (4:44.91) finished 1st and
2nd in the 1600 meter run and
Miller also finished 2nd in the
3200 meter run with a time of
10:19.62.
The 4×800 meter relay
team consisting of Burkdoll,
McCord, Hammond and Miller
finished in first with a time of
8:31.05.
