County moves funds as year
wanes, amends 2022 budget
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT County commissioners have scheduled
a public hearing to amend
Anderson Countys 2022
budget for December 27, in
order to shift funds already
raised by county levies from
the general fund to specified
department line items.
Anderson County Clerk
Julie Wettstein said the
shift of funds didnt include
any new tax dollars or any
spending not originally
approved in the 2022 budget,
but instead reflected departments paying salaries and
a number of expenses as
opposed to those costs being
borne by the countys general fund.
The move included moving $500,000 into the Road
and Bridge Department and
$100,000 into the Solid Waste
Department.
The move followed an
unrelated budget amendment notice by the City of
Garnett in recent weeks,
this one aimed at bolstering
funds to pay city gas and electric rates due to recent price
spikes in those commodities.

and grandparents started the day with

rolls and had time to sing and talk
before watching a school program
and school class productions. The

Homeowners lucky in wood stove fires
Locals were home when
fires kindled; follow tips for
safety if using wood heat
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The advent of cold weather brings with it the threat of residential house fires caused by wood stoves
and fireplaces lit for the first time in
the season to take the chill off. Major
tragedy was avoided in two home fires
last week in Anderson County, and
the countys head emergency official
says those should be reminders to the
rest of us to think safety first as winter
dawns.
There were no injuries or
major damage, Anderson County
Emergency Management Directory
Mark Locke told the Review Friday
regarding a wood stove related fire at
Kincaid on Thursday and a previous
one in Garnett on Monday. Really
lucky that they were home. We need
to remind people who have wood
stoves to make sure they have been
checked and cleaned before lighting
them this winter.
Stone Hearth Firewood, a company selling kiln-dried firewood in
Michigan, recommends a test of your
stove before lighting it the first time in
the season by lighting a couple of pieces of seasoned or kiln-dried wood from
the top down. If smoke enters the room
rather than exiting vertically through
your chimney, theres a blockage a
squirrel or bird nest or something.
The company also recommends
having a professional chimney sweep
clean your chimney at least once a
year. You can also clean your chimney with a chimney sweeping log,
which is infused with chemicals that
break down creosote deposits that if
left unchecked can cause a flue fire.
Burning the log helps the creocote
crumble and fall into your fireplace or
stove so you can clean them out.
Using only seasoned or kiln-dried
firewood is also a must. Most customers in the local area wont want the
expense of kiln-dried firewood and its
not always readily available, so be
sure the naturally seasoned wood you
Kansas AAA: Gas prices now as
cheap as they were a year ago
WICHITA The average price of a gallon of
regular unleaded gasoline in Kansas recently
fell to $2.99, the first time the average is under
$3/gallon since January 18, 2022. Also, that
average is exactly the same as it was one year
ago today the first week of December big
news considering the record-breaking highs
we have seen for much of the year.
Kansas average gas price has fallen 15
cents in the past week and 39 cents from one
month ago. The state currently has the 9th
lowest gas prices in the nation.
The national average has dropped 26 cents
in the past two weeks. The sharp decline will
likely slow somewhat given the decision by
OPEC+ to continue cutting production but the
downward trend will likely continue.
OPEC+, representing a group of 23 oil-pro-
ducing nations including Saudi Arabia and
Russia, decided Sunday to maintain output
cuts of 2 million barrels per day or about 2%
of world demand. The purpose of the move is
to boost the global price of oil, which has fallen
recently on fears of demand weakness, specifically in China.
Regardless, the national average pump
price for a gallon of gas dropped 14 cents in the
past week to $3.40.
Gas prices are dropping sharply and are
right at the level we saw a year ago, before the
record highs we experienced in Kansas and
Nationally this past June, said AAA Kansas
spokesman Shawn Steward. With oil being
the main ingredient in gasoline, OPEC+s

use has been split and dried for about
12 months. Naturally seasoned wood is
less expensive and more available but
also has other issues like mold, fungus
and bugs.
Its also a good idea to keep excess
ash from accumulating in the stove
basin. Too much ash and debris can
hinder air flow. Leaving an inch or
less of ash in the basin gives hot coals a
bed to nestle into and reflects the heat
from the burning logs without hindering air flow too much.
Stone Hearth also recommends
ensuring the doors to your stove or
fireplace seal properly. With no fire
in the unit, place a dollar bill in the

Living in the light or surviving the darkness
When we come home
after being gone all day
and walk into a dark
house the first thing
we look for is the light
switch. When we turn
on the light the darkness
goes away. Where does
it go? The transition
from darkness to light is
instantaneous. The light
overwhelms the darkness. Turn the light off
and the darkness returns.
Again it is instantaneous.
The Bible has a lot to
say about light and dark. In
Genesis 1:2 we are told darkness was over the surface of
the earth. Gods very first act
was to create light and to separate the light and the dark
establishing the superiority
of light over darkness. Jesus
understood this superiority
and in John 8:19 said, I am
the light of the world. Whoever
follows me will never walk in
darkness, but will have the
light of life. What is the light
of life? The light of life is the
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
God given ability to live on
this earth and embrace the
work of God ever moving forward in Christ likeness.
In John 3:19 we read these
terse words from Jesus. This
is the verdict: Light has come
into the world, but men loved
darkness instead of light
because, their deeds were evil.
Everyone who does evil hates
the light, and will not come
into the light for fear that his
deeds will be exposed. But
whoever lives by truth comes
into the light so that it may
be seen plainly that what he
has done has been done
through God. Clearly
Jesus sets light against
dark. We will live in
one of the two. A life
of Christ likeness in the
light or a life away from
Christ in the dark. Paul
tells us in 2 Corinthians
6 that light and darkness
cannot co-exist.
The Apostle John in
1 John 1:5-7 lays this out
for us as follows: God is
light; in him there is no
darkness at all. If we claim to
have fellowship with him yet
walk in the darkness we lie
and do not live by the truth.
But if we walk in the light, as
he is in the light we have fellowship with one another, and
the blood of Jesus, his Son,
purifies us from all sin.
We are told that the earth
was empty and formless prior
to God creating light. That can
also describe our life if we
dont live in the light.

Pipeline spill fouls creek in north central Kansas, spikes oil prices
WASHINGTON, KS. An oil
spill in north-central Kansas
fouled a creek Wednesday
night and prompted the emergency shutdown of a major
international pipeline.
People in Washington
County, just south of the
Nebraska
border,
woke
Thursday morning to the smell
of gas, the countys emergency
management agency wrote on
social media.
Canadian company TC
Energy didnt answer questions Thursday morning about
the Keystone pipeline leak and
how far the oil traveled downstream in Mill Creek.
It pointed to a press release
instead.
We have shut down the
Keystone Pipeline System and
mobilized people and equipment, the statement said.
The affected segment has been
isolated, and booms deployed
to control downstream migration.
Late Thursday afternoon
the company issued a second statement estimating the
spilled volume at about 14,000
barrels, and saying the company has blocked downstream
movement of the crude oil.
Our response efforts will
continue until we have fully
remediated the site, it said.
The type of oil in the
Keystone pipeline is sludgy
and often sinks to the bottom
of waterways making it more
difficult to clean than conventional crude oil.
The
Pipeline
and
Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration
part
of the U.S. Department of
Transportation says it has
deployed workers to the site to
investigate how the spill hap-
MURRAY…
cies in America, Britain,
and other countries, used
to insert agents often
declared inside large corporations: energy giants,
international oil companies,
and the like. It appears that in
our age certain agencies have
inserted their people in the Big
Tech companies and they have
been performing a role we are
only just starting to become
aware of.
So as I say, people will laugh
and scoff. The NYT will continue running distraction pieces
trying to pretend that hate
has been on the rise on Twitter
since Musk bought it. They
may keep ignoring and scoffing at this scandal. But in fact,
something else is happening.
Their game is up. The story is
becoming fully exposed before
the eyes of the world.

story was coming out this former or present FBI man

What was he busying himself with during those crucial days? Was he editing out
anything that might point to

he editing out or redacting

OPINION
Media shows its colors via Twitter Files
The vicious and coordinated attacks by mainstream news figures against independent journalist Matt Taibbi in recent days reinforce an
essential point about the American news media:
they think we are all drooling idiots.
Their response to Taibbis release of the
Twitter Files, which details the companys calculated suppression of a major news story in
the run-up to the 2020 presidential election,
underscores this exceedingly low estimation of
its audience.
Outlets like MSNBC and the New York Times
seem to hope the American public is ignorant of
the fact that they got every aspect of the Hunter
Biden laptop story wrong from the start. While
real journalists tenaciously reported the facts,
such as the New York Posts Miranda Devine,
a disinformation machine comprised of Biden
campaign officials, intelligence officials, liberal
journalists, and Twitter higher-ups (with the
omission of former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey,
who was strangely left out of the loop) acted in
brazen coordination to suppress the story.
Biden officials worked feverishly behind
the scenes to flag Twitter posts that mentioned Devines article, and Twitter, due to the
overwhelmingly leftist makeup of its employees, dutifully did their bidding by removing
wrongthink from the platform. Twitter even
suspended the New York Posts account for having the gall to report a story that was damaging
to the Biden campaign in the first place.
Mainstream liberal journalists, ever docile
and obedient toward the establishment powersthat-be, also did their part by repeating the lies
of a cadre of former intelligence officials who
released a joint statement dismissing the story
as Russian disinformation. Talking heads
and partisan hacks hypnotically repeated this
authoritative assessment, falsely claiming the
Biden laptop story had the classic earmarks of
a Russian psyop.
It is now a proven fact, however, that Twitter/
Biden/CIA/liberal media psyop forced onto the
public was the real source of disinformation,
and it unfurled with military precision and
force.
In recent days, the very same liberal media
figures who did the bidding of the establishment have sneeringly dismissed the reporting
of Taibbi, whose Twitter Files expo underscores
what we already know to be true: that the
aforementioned forces within the establishment
sphere pose an immediate threat to our democracy in a way that former President Donald
Trump could only dream of being. Liberal media

thugs like NBCs Ben Collins, for example, only
exist in this industry to protect entrenched
power in exchange for job security and the occasional pat on the head. Collins, who last week
disparagingly referred to Taibbi as Substack
Man, couldnt carry Taibbis pencil case. (I
would, right now, give my entire life savings
and my dog to see those two discuss the Hunter
Biden laptop saga on a debate stage).
The establishment press corps playbook in
the wake of the Twitter Files release has been
typical as well as depressingly effective. First,
as previously mentioned, theyve attacked the
messenger in a coordinated fashion, as if we are
all too thick to notice that theyre each using
the exact same phrase to do so. Theyve also
attempted to downplay the significance of the
laptop story itself, despite the fact that it contains evidence that directly implicates the president of the United States, who, while serving as
vice president, allegedly peddled his influence to
foreign governments. Sounds like a real snooze
of a story, doesnt it?
Finally, and perhaps most cleverly, the liberal establishment has exploited the publics
increasing tendency toward tribalism by framing the story within the stale confines of proTrump or anti-Trump sentiment. In their telling,
to be bothered by Twitters election meddling
(not to mention their brazen flouting of First
Amendment principles, as outlined admirably
by progressive Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) in the
Wall Street Journal ) is to be sympathetic to
Trumps demonstrably false claims that he won
the 2020 election. They desperately want the
American public to stuff themselves into these
boxes in order to retain control over the narrative and to deflect from their own pitiful journalSEE LAFFIN SEE BELOW RIGHT

Not a conspiracy theory an actual conspiracy
Conspiracy theorist is one of the great
insults of our day. It was thrown at me onstage
the other night by the popular pseudo-guru and full-time intellectual fraud Malcolm
Gladwell.
Debating in front of 3,000 people about the
trustworthiness (or otherwise) of the mainstream media I brought up the Hunter Biden
laptop story as an example of how much of
the media cannot be trusted. Oh my God,
wailed Gladwell, like an Upper East Side
teenager, flailing his arms around in horror.
His colleague New York Times columnist
Michelle Goldberg almost fell off her chair.
Both rocked back and forth with laughter
and forced histrionics. Fancy my bringing up
such a nothing-burger of a story as that, they
hooted. What a lot of conspiracy theory I
appeared to have fallen into.
Well, the shoe is very much on the other
foot now, as it always should have been.
Because, as it happened, my colleague that
night was the journalist Matt Taibbi. The
day after our debate, Matt started to drop
information from Elon Musk, the new owner
of Twitter, which once again showed that it
is those who refused to focus on the laptop
stories who were actually involved in a conspiracy. A conspiracy that is now completely
transparent.
I dont need to remind readers of the Post
of what happened in this story. Of the way in
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
DOUGLAS MURRAY, THE SPECTATOR
which this paper Americas oldest was
subjected to an unprecedented campaign of
silencing during October 2020. This paper
dared to print information that was of public interest. It was information that exposed
corruption on an extraordinary scale in what
is now the first family. Not just the presidents son being paid to sit on the board of a
Ukrainian energy company when he had no
knowledge of energy or Ukraine. But things
like the almost $5 million that Hunter and his
Uncle James raked in over 14 months from
just one Chinese energy conglomerate.
Nobody needs to be reminded of how the
situation would have been otherwise if the laptop of Don Trump, Jr., had been released and
it had included this kind of information. The
ally get one or two of the answers and when
our college kids they can get four or five. If one
complaint gets rid of things, I want to complain
about the childish and biased wind farm articles
and editorials.
New York Times which wasted everyones
time for years with false Russiagate stories
would not have found a Don Jr. laptop such
a vast, unfathomable yawneroo.
But they found the Hunter laptop just that.
For a very good reason. They had their aims,
and they had their man. They wanted Biden
in the White House at all costs and so they
suppressed the Posts story and tried to make
sure that the American public was not able to
vote with all the information that could have
been at their disposal.
Week after week the story gets even worse.
And this week perhaps the most damning
revelation of all just dropped. First, there was
the revelation which we all knew that
the Biden campaign had been telling Twitter
to expect a Hunter story and to quash it. That
is the sort of corruption we might almost be
used to. But now we have also learned the
news that a former lawyer at the FBI James
Baker was actually working inside Twitter.
And that when Elon Musk took over Twitter
Baker was still working there. Indeed he was
working there until Sunday of last week when
Musk found out and fired him.
And what had Baker been able to do?
He had actually been able to insert himself

Taibbi in order to redact the communications

Christmas music
Dear editor,
We are now coming to the time of the year
for Christmas music to be heard almost everywhere. It is a Most Wonderful Time of the
Year, but sometimes non-stop music can be a
bit much.
There is an issue however that I am
somewhat confused about. There are several songs that have absolutely nothing to do
with Christmas but are only heard in the
Christmas season. Songs like Jingle Bells,
Frosty The Snowman, Let It Snow, Winter
Wonderland, Baby Its Cold Outside, Sleigh
Ride, and others, can and should be played and
sung from the first snowflakes of November to
the last blast of white in March or April. Why
do they stop on December 26th? Why cant we
take a Sleigh ride, Dashing Through The Snow,
in February? Why cant Frosty make it down to
the village for Valentines Day? I have personally been Walking in a Winter Wonderland
in April. I guess there is just too much regular
music to get back to.
Oh well, thinking out loud. Merry Christmas
everyone.

Hunters laptop and the 50 former intelligence officials
The Twitter Files released by Elon Musk
give us a more fine-grained understanding of
how and why the social media company decided to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story.
This was a woefully stupid decision. The
New York Posts account was suspended for
two weeks for the offense of coming up with a
scoop that we are still talking about and that
will surely play a large role in upcoming GOP
investigations into Biden family corruption.
Thats the kind of thing that newspapers
should get awards for; Twitter thought it
should get punished for it.
But the Twitter officials caught up in the
progressive bubble that caused them to censor
first, ask questions later — all in the name of
safety, of course — werent the most blameworthy actors in this episode.
That dishonor belongs to the former intelligence officials who put out a widely cited,
deliberately misleading letter suggesting that
the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. It muddied the discussion over the
laptop and gave President Joe Biden a handy
tool to try to deflect the laptop story.
These former officials knew what they
were doing, traded on their public service for
a tawdry political purpose, and have by and
large demonstrated no remorse.
Even the former head of trust and safety
at Twitter — who sounds like he just came
from a sit-in at a university presidents office
demanding the disinvitation of a right-wing
speaker from campus — has said Twitter
shouldnt have suppressed the Hunter Biden
story.
Amazingly, the former officials, once
entrusted with some of the most sensitive
NATIONAL COMMENTARY

powers and roles in the U.S. government,
arent as responsible and accountable as a
social-media functionary from woke central
casting. As a sheer matter of public accountability, their disgraceful performance should
be one focus of House Republican investigators beginning in January.
More than 50 former intelligence officials
signed the letter, including five former CIA
directors or acting directors. Biden cited the
letter in a debate with Donald Trump. There
are, he said, 50 former national intelligence
folks who said that what … hes accusing me of
is a Russian plant.
That statement was strictly true; it just
didnt hold the significance that Biden hoped
the average listener would assume. When
Trump derisively noted that Biden sounded
like he was saying that the laptop was another
Russian hoax, Biden doubled down: Thats
exactly what were told.
Of course, we all know that theres no way
Biden heard about the laptop with all its taw-
dry and comprising information and thought,
No, thats not my boy — must be the insidious work of an extremely adept, undetected
Russian spy network trying to influence the
election.
Now that multiple other news outlets have
confirmed the legitimacy of the laptop, the
letter-writers havent repented about themselves spreading clever disinformation meant
to influence the election. Theyve fallen back
on a Jesuitical defense of their handiwork.
And, indeed, the letter-writers played a
game. They didnt actually say that the Hunter
Biden laptop story was disinformation, at the
same time they created that impression. This
has given them plausible — or more accurately, implausible — deniability.
Cornered about the letter on Fox News,
former CIA officer David Priess said that the
laptop story, just as the letter asserted, had
all the classic earmarks of Russian disinformation. That didnt mean it was disinformation, just that it had the earmarks.
Thats not how the letter was promoted
at the time, though. Nick Shapiro, a prime
mover behind the missive and a former top
aide under CIA director John Brennan, told
Politico, The real power here however is the
number of former, working-level IC officers
who want the American people to know that
once again the Russians are interfering.
No weasel words there. And the press coverage leaned heavily on the suspicions of the
intelligence officials, not their lawyerly caveats.
Even more than the former management
of Twitter, the letter-writers have shown they
never should be trusted again.

This season celebrates
The Word Made Flesh
Colony Christian Church
As we move towards
Christmas, it is good to take
time to ponder why we celebrate this holiday at all.
The event which prompts us
to hang lights, wrap presents,
and gather with family is this:
the Word made flesh.
The event of Christs birth
is most often recounted from
the book of Matthew or Luke.
John Chapter 1 tells of it in a
different way.
Most people only think of
Jesus when he was born as a
baby in Bethlehem, but John
1:1 makes clear that Jesus was
at the creation in Genesis.
Jesus is described as the Word
and we are told the Word was
with God and the Word was
God. Jesus existed when Adam
and Eve broke Gods commandment and sin and death distorted His perfect creation.
Ephesians 4:18 says darkness covers our minds when
we live apart from God through
rebellion and disobedience. But
Gods first promise of a Savior
to redeem mankind was also
given in Genesis 3:15. Since
the beginning, God promised
to send Jesus, the Word made
flesh, to dwell among us and
give us light. The prophecy of
Isaiah in chapter 9:1-14 confirms that the passionate commitment of the Lord will allow
the people who walk in darkness to see a great light.
John 1 pronounces the fulfillment of this promise in saying
the true light has come into the
world, The Word became flesh
and dwelt among us, and He
is the light of men. That light
shines in the darkness and the
darkness cannot overcome it.
Not only did God promise to
send us a Savior to overcome
the evil one, and to give us his
Word made flesh to be a lamp
for our feet and a light for our
path in order to guide us, He
promised to make us a part of
His family and bring us to His
home to live with Him forever.
John 1: 12, to all who did

receive him, he gave them the
right to be children of God.
During this holiday season,
whether you have a big family
get together or if you feel left
out and alone, remember that
God wants you at His family
get together. Christmas, Jesus
in the manger, the Word made
flesh, is the invitation. As you
admire the beautiful Christmas
lights, remember that the true
light came into the world at
Christmas so that you could
see the beauty and glory of God
himself.
And finally, celebrate
Christmas knowing that God
is a promise keeper. He sent
the Messiah, the Savior that
he promised He would send,
and it is only a matter of time
before He fulfills the rest of the
promise in Genesis 3:15 to soon
crush Satan under His heel just
as Romans 16:20 affirms. Thats
a reason to celebrate! Merry
Christmas!

Make way for a new round of
government stimulus checks
WASHINGTON, D.C. The
IRS has sent out letters
alerting nine million households that they are eligible
for $1,400 stimulus checks
for individuals and $2,800
checks to couples.
Eligible recipients mostly include taxpayers who
don't need to file federal
income tax returns because
they don't earn enough to
warrant one, and because
of that, didn't get one or
more of the original stimulus checks. Those recipients
include single filers making
less than $12,550 ($14,250 for
those older than 65), and couples making less than $25,100
($27,000 for those older than
65). This mostly affects those
receiving Social Security but
many others might be eligible as well.
Those who are could see
a nice amount of direct payments. Along with the stimulus checks for individuals
and couples, there is also
another $1,400 for dependents, plus other benefits
like the Child Tax Credit,
which is worth up to $3,600
per child, child and dependent care credits up to $8,000,
and the Earned Income Tax
Credit, which is worth up to
$7,000.
If you think you are eligible and haven't yet filed
a 2021 income tax return,
head to ChildTaxCredit.gov
to learn more and to potentially file a simple tax return
to claim the 2021 Recovery
Rebate Credit which covers
any stimulus payments you
missed as well as the Child
Tax Credit. Even if you don't
have kids, the site's Get Your
Child Tax Credit option can
still give you the right solution for what you need to do.
Meanwhile, if you have
gotten your federal payments, you might still be
eligible for more direct payments from your state.

Environment before the turn
of the year.
10 Years: 2012
Drought is likely to continue, per weather experts.
Changing predictions indicate
that average or below-normal
amounts of precipitation can
be expected for most of the
Midwest through December.
The 2-year drought is likely to continue until at least
February. Discouraging news
for local farmers, who saw a
destructive end to the corn
crop and reduced yield in soybeans. Water restrictions were
also instituted, and Cedar
Valley Reservoir recorded a
new low level, but the drought
had a catastrophic impact on
East Kansas Agri-Energy. The
ethanol plant shut down its
operations because of the poor
corn harvest. Officials hope to
reopen the plant next summer,
but if the drought continues
to stunt the corn crop, that
reopening may need to be postponed.
Plans could be announced
soon for a new local hospital.
Survey and design crews are
reviewing the hospital and its
grounds to design an all-new
facility. Theyre also talking
to departmental leaders and
their staff about patient flow
to determine the potential layout. The process is expected
to continue through the year
before officials know what kind
of facility the community needs
and, more importantly, what
that may cost. ACH administrator Denny Hachenberg said,
I have every hope and confidence we will be successful, but
I think people need to understand what it would take to
remain here as opposed to what
it would take to do a new hospital.

FROM PAGE 4
Musk wanted Taibbi to release.
So even as the true story was
coming out this former or
present FBI man was working inside Twitter in order to
stop the story from getting out.
What was he busying himself with during those crucial days? Was he editing out
anything that might point to
involvement by the FBI and
other security agencies? Was
he editing out or redacting
information that might show
the first family in an even
worse light than the facts
already do? We dont know
but we should. Because this
is not a conspiracy theory. It
is an out-and-out conspiracy.
One which American voters
deserve to learn about.
Back in the day, it was
well known that intelligence
agencies in America, Britain,
and other countries, used to
insert agents often declared
inside large corporations:
energy giants, international
oil companies, and the like. It
appears that in our age certain
agencies have inserted their
people in the Big Tech companies and they have been performing a role we are only just
starting to become aware of.
So as I say, people will laugh
and scoff. The NYT will continue running distraction pieces
trying to pretend that hate
has been on the rise on Twitter
since Musk bought it. They
may keep ignoring and scoffing at this scandal. But in fact,
something else is happening.
Their game is up. The story is
becoming fully exposed before
the eyes of the world.

Bulldogs finish 2nd at AC Invitational
GARNETT Twenty-two teams
converged at Anderson County
High School on Saturday for
the 2022 ACHS Invitational and
despite having fewer wrestlers
than everyone else in the top 7,
the Bulldogs still fought their
way to a second place finish
overall.
The Bulldogs had just 7
wrestlers and finished the
afternoon with 164 points only
finishing behind Santa Fe Trail
with 202.5 points but they also
had 12 wrestlers competing on
the day.
The top finishers were AJ
Schaffer, Masten Wright and
John Wright who all finished
in first place in their class.
AJ Schaffer (138) won all 4
of his matches including downing Heath Ellis of Caney Valley
in the 1st place match by Fall
(1:57).
M. Wright (150) was perfect
in his 5 matches. He knocked
off Gram Putman of Cherryvale
by Fall (0:20) in the championship match.
J. Wright (157) also won all 5
of his matchups. The 1st place
match was a win by decision
(4-0) over Garrett Watson of
Caney Valley.
Finishing the afternoon
with second place finishes
were Zach Schaffer and Colten
Wittman.
Z. Schaffer (120) cruised
through his first 3 matches
winning them all by fall (0:34,
1:105 & 0:53) before dropping
the 1st place match to Cash
Wilderman of Frontenac by fall
(3:17).

intermission against Iola before
dominating the second half to
the tune of 35-14 to win going

4 matches by fall.
Owen Thompson finished
the afternoon in 3rd place.
Thompson won 2 of the first
3 rounds before dropping the
opening round of the championship bracket. The third
place match was a win by decision (7-1) over Baker Moore of
Central Heights.
Rounding out the afternoon
for the Bulldog grapplers was
a 5th place finish by Parker

Lady Bulldogs come up short in loss to Louisburg
GARNETT – The Anderson
County Lady Bulldogs struggled offensively in the first
and third quarters in their
loss on Friday night at home to
Louisburg 38-31.
The Bulldogs scored just 4
points in the first period and
found themselves in a 12-4 hole
early on.

before being outscored 42-23 in
the second half en route to a
75-50 defeat. In defeat, Connor
Peal would tally 22 points to
lead the way.
The Vikings would drop
the third place game to Lebo
on Saturday, 44-39. Central
Heights saw themselves in a
29-17 hole at halftime but their
rally fell just short despite having the upper hand in the second half, 22-15.
Anderson County rebounded in the second to cut the deficit to just two at intermission,
16-14.
Coming out of halftime the
momentum quickly shifted to
Louisburg as they went on a
14-5 run in the third quarter to
open things back up and held a
30-19 lead heading into the final
8 minutes of play.
The Lady Bulldogs tried to
make a run late, cutting the
deficit to as little as 4 points in
the fourth but Louisburg did
just enough down the stretch to
hold on for the victory.
Caitlyn Foltz led all scorers
with 17 points and added 12
rebounds for the Bulldogs.
Kylie Disbrow chipped in
with 10 points, 10 rebounds and
4 blocks.
Addie Fudge was the only
other scorer on the night with
4 points. Fudge also added 6
rebounds and 4 assists.
RICHMOND The 2022 Ike
Cearfross Invitational saw the
Central Heights Lady Vikings
lose to Iola in the opening
round, down West Franklin in
round 2 before losing in lopsided fashion in the 5th place game
to Santa Fe Trail 62-25.
In the opening round loss
to Iola, Bailey Brockus scored
19 of the team's 31 points on a
perfect 5 of 5 from 3-point land
and was a perfect 4-4 from the
free throw line.
It was Brockus leading
the way in the second round
41-26 win over West Franklin.
Brockus was perfect on 5 field
goal attempts, 4 of them from
beyond the arc, as she went on
to score 18 points in the game.
In the final round, the
Vikings ran into a buzzsaw
against Santa Fe Trail as they
lost by the score of 62-25.
Lancers offense struggles in loss
COLONY – After a close first
half, Erie took control in the
third quarter to win easily over
Crest, 49-28.
Erie had the upperhand
early taking a 16-5 lead after
the first quarter but the Crest
Lancers rallied in the second
quarter to cut the deficit down
to 24-20 at intermission.
Unfortunately for the home
team, that is all the closer the
game would get. Erie would
go on a 14-2 run in the third
quarter to blow the game open
and finished it off with an 11-6
advantage in the fourth quarter.
Crest struggled all night from
the field connecting on just 1 of
10 (10%) of their three-pointers
and also just went 6 of 24 (25%)
from the field.
Stetson Setter led the way
with 11 points by connecting on
7 of 8 free throws on the night.
Crest edges Uniontown
COLONY – Friday night the
Crest Lancers picked up a 50-43
over Uniontown at home.
After struggling from the
field on Tuesday night, the
Lancers rebounded to connect
on 20 of 32 (63%) of their two
point attempts to lead the way
to victory.
Stetson Setter connected on
7 of 12 attempts en route to 17
points on the night.
Also eclipsing double figures was Karter Miller with
12 points and Ryan Golden
chipped in with 11 points and
also added 6 rebounds.
Offensively Jack White was
held scoreless but led the team
in rebounds with 9.

TrustPoint expands with Hays office
BURLINGTON TrustPoint
Insurance announced today
that earlier this month, it
acquired Platinum Insurance,
a subsidiary of Platinum
Group located in Hays, Kansas.
This is the fourth Kansas location for TrustPoint Insurance,
which also has Kansas offices in Burlington, Garnett and
Emporia.
While we are licensed in
nine states, Kansas is our home
and holds a special place for
us, especially with our specialties in business and agricul-
ture insurance, says co-owner
Angela Trimble. To be able to
continue to build our footprint
across the state serving businesspersons and local farmers
is truly exciting for me and my
partner, Janet Payne. We also
appreciate that we are inheriting such a competent and
successful agent in the Hays
office.
I am a firm believer in
doing what you excel at, says
Adam Pray, CEO of Platinum
Group. This transaction
allows Platinum to keep a ded-
icated focus on our real estate
clients and provide expanded insurance and mortgage
options through our preferred
partners. Our current customers can expect the same great
service with agent Robbie
Delzeit leading the team. We at
the Platinum Group look forward to a long alliance with
TrustPoint Insurance.
TrustPoint
Insurances
Hays, KS, office is located at
116 E 11th St, Suite #10, in the
Platinum Group Real Estate
Agency building.
