County boosts landfill
dump rates for New Year
Minimum jumps from
$5 to $8, brush charge
$6 to $20 in new rates
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Anderson County
Commissioners on Monday
approved rate increases for the
county landfill and transfer station effective January 2 which
will bump disposal of materials
from 11 percent to more than
230 percent, as officials try to
meet escalating costs for running the local trash dump and
recycle center.
Most trash dumped at the
Anderson County station is
trucked to a certified landfill at Allen County. Landfill
manager Scott Garrett said the
countys recycle effort which
allows the disposal of newspapers, cardboard, aluminum, 10
and some plastics has expenses
that far exceed any revenues
the county gets for those materials. Scrap metal is allowed
to be dumped for free at the
landfill because it currently
generates the most revenues of
dumped items. The disposal of
brush however was set for the
highest increase presently
charged at $6 but scheduled to
go to $20 after January 1.
The new rates submitted
by Garrett and approved by
commissioners included a minimum dumping fee of $5 that
would go to $8, transfer floor
costs that are now 45 dollars
a ton going to $50 per ton, and
construction and demolition
charges that are now $27 a ton
going to $40 a ton. County commission chairman Les McGhee
said rate increases pushed the
line at which county residents
might just choose to dump
their trash illegally.
Theres a fine line between
raising these rates and finding that trash in a ditch somewhere, McGhee told commissioners.
But Garrett said even at
a minimum charge of $8, the
local landfill would still be

The Bob and Vicki Mills home on West 5th Street in Garnett was
one of several in town dolled up for Christmas cheer. With numerous local homes as well as an annual downtown decor effort led
by the City of Garnett, the local area is playing its role in what
analysts say was a $7.8 billion market for Christmas lighting and
decor in 2023.
Keepers of the flame spread the light of Peace
Volunteers trek flame
from Bethlehem to
Garnett and beyond
BY BONNIE KUBACKA SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
GARNETT Our world needs
peace. The World Scouting
Organization along with
Garnett First Christian Church
recognizes the importance of
this profound statement.
Peace Light North America
is dedicated to spreading the
continuous flame of the Peace
Light from Bethlehem across
North America. Dedicated,
passionate volunteers serve
as couriers to educate the
Americas on the Lights meaning: to promote peace, harmony and unity among all people
of the world regardless of race,
ethnicity or creed.
For more than 1,000 years,
oil lamps have continuously burned at the grotto at the
Church of the Nativity in
Bethlehem. Each year- safety
permitting- a child from Upper
Austria travels as a pilgrim
to obtain the flame. During
the Third Week of Advent, a
Service of Dedication is held
in Vienna, Austria to share
the Light with Scouting delegations from across Europe.
Scouts return to their own
countries and with a message
of peace, share the Light with
churches, hospitals, retirement homes, and places of
public, cultural and political
importance – to anyone who
appreciates the significance of
the gift.
The Light of Friendship &
Peace was first introduced to
the United States in 2000. It was
flown from Oslo with a brief
stopover in London before
landing in Bartlesville, OK at
the headquarters of Phillips
Petroleum Co., the sponsors
of the flight. The Peace Light
quickly spread to six states in
Americas heartland.
Today, in cooperation
with Austrian Scouts and
Austrian Airlines, the Peace

Scouts and Scout leaders from the Heart of

tion to bring it back to their own communities
to be shared.

RECYCLE
The Garnett Review, many
advertisements are nestled
between pages that tell stories of the brewing Great
War in Europe and railroad tables.
They are small rectangular spots asking if youve
cleaned your suit lately
from Chan Drakes shop,
The Wardrobe, or sharpened the knives needed to
carve up Christmas dinner by J.J. Anderson &
Son. The railroad tables
are accompanied by small
articles espousing the loss
of millions by the railroad
companies due to supplies
and munitions being sold
to the Allies overseas, a set
of stories that almost seem
like foreshadowing or deja
vu for anyone who has studied both World Wars.
Grammatically,
some
of the advertisements
seem clunky but effective.
Beneath an attention-grabbing title are short sentence
fragments like Come in and
see us, Good Warm fire,
and We will be pleased to
show goods.
Some
advertisements
include things still found
more than a century later,
Grape-Nuts.
Being partially predigested, GrapeNuts is quickly converted
into strength for body and
brain.
A.M. Graves Drug store
was selling Parisian Ivory,
Japanese Flower and Fruit
Baskets, and Ebony sets, all
items unavailable or outlawed today. On the top of
page four of that addition, in
the prominent placement of
the left, is a Cripes Bakery
advertisement that espoused
the availability of one item
that this particular author
wishes would be outlawed
right next to the Ivory from
Paris: Fruit Cake.
Fruitcake is a holiday tradition as likely to be a joke as
a delicacy. The confections
history is nearly as difficult
to trace as it is to choke down
a slice of the cake. Ancient
Romans who made it with
pomegranate and pine nuts
should have likely let the recipe go via Pompeii and could
have saved the rest of the
world from it. While some
will disagree with its presence on the Holiday dessert
table, there seem to be just
as many who agree with its
appearance. In Corsicana,
Texas, a whole bakery is
devoted to traditional items.
They allow the cakes to be
shipped anywhere FedEx
and UPS can deliver. I have
to wonder why anyone would
send the brightly colored tin
full of Christmas Fruitcake

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT As the boxes pile up
by the overflowing trash cans this
Christmas, consider giving a gift that
could keep on giving. One you might
not have thought of. Recycling. Thats
right. Recycling.
Did you know that during the
holiday season, an extra 1 million
tons (2 billion pounds) of waste is
produced each week in the United
States. Americans generate 25% more
trash between Thanksgiving and New
Years Day compared to any other
time of the year.
How is recycling a gift? Christmas
is a good time to start the habit of
recycling. If more local households
recycled, and if done on a large enough
scale, it could help curtail what it costs
the City of Garnett to pay in landfill
fees and thus keep the refuse charge
on your monthly utility bill down, and
from potential increases. Your participation could be the difference-maker.
Instead of piling the cardboard
boxes from Amazon or other Big

THE KANSAS INFORMER
NEW YORK Politically charged
woke misspellings will surge
again this year in school spelling
bees across the country, driven by
the Merriam-Webster Dictionary
company which seems demonstrably susceptible to political winds
but only from one direction.
But apparently, if not being able
to define a woman is good enough
for Supreme Court Justice Ketanji

Someone has to say Lets go.
In Luke 2 we read what is
referred to as the Christmas
story, the birth of our Savior.
We see the miracle revealed
to the shepherds by an angel
of the LORD. Then suddenly
a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the
angel praising God and saying
Glory to God in the highest
and on earth peace to men on
whom his favor rests. What
is interesting is the response of
the shepherds to the news. We
read they said to one another,
Lets go to Bethlehem and see
this thing that has happened
which the LORD has told us
about . It appears that the
shepherds left immediately to
find the baby. No doubt the fact
the shepherds had just seen a
great company of the heavenly host played an important
part in their quick decision.
However I believe the reason
the LORD chose the shepherds
to reveal the birth to is because,
God does not choose as we do.
He looks at the heart of people.
The Savior was born to peasant
parents, in a small village, in
a stable. Not the regal birth
due a king. We have to ask
ourselves why this combination of circumstances? You
see God has to find people he
can shape and form to meet his
needs. People who are not so
committed to themselves and
the world that they have little
or no time for God. I have
often found myself so busy I
have slighted the Savior. Being
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
able to determine the correct
balance between all the things
that compete for our time is
a difficult task. We are told
very little about the shepherds
in the story except God chose
them to deliver the message of
Christmas. When God chooses
us for a task will we respond
as the shepherds did? Yes, it
will be a smaller task than the
shepherds received, however,
if it involves the salvation of
one soul the impact cannot be
measured.
The church, specifically
the people in the church, are
faced with the same task as the
shepherds, move Christianity
out the church door into the
street. The shepherds went to
Bethlehem, where will we go?
One of the most important lessons I have learned is unless
someone is willing to say,
Lets go nothing will happen,
but if we will go God will go
before us. So Lets go.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, December 19, 2024
OPINION
Christmas is for Christians
Its a point that deserves to be made: Beyond
all the financial forecasts and pulse-taking of the
nations retailers and economic analysis and the
co-opting of Christian ideals by non-Christians
who want to feel good about themselves this time
of year, Christmas is for Christians.
The commercialism of Christmas shouldnt be
looked upon with the snobbery and disdain that
many fundamentalists dish out, however. There
is no doubt that the sheer economic impact of
Christmas buying does its share of good in the
world. The association of commerce with the
event of the birth of Christ is pagan, without
doubt; but no more pagan than our affair with
Santa Claus, Christmas lights and the Christmas
Tree. Christmas buying means economic sustenance for those who give gifts and those who
make them no matter which corner of the
world in which they may reside and its still
better for the majority of us to be employed than
not.
But the secularized
Christmas falls far and
away from the awesome
gravity and magnitude
of the birth of Christ.
No other single event in
mans history has had
more spiritual, political and social impact
on the living world and
on succeeding generations. And yet 2,000
years of contemplation, consideration and
debate of this event and
its subsequent effects
both inside and outside
Christendom have been
but tangents to its critical core.
That core value
relates to Christians
and Christians alone: that God gave his son to
provide man a life after death and a guidepost for
daily living; that whosoever shall believeth on
him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Like every grand idea, its been used to justify
every realm of behavior. Great pain, misery
and destruction has been done in the name of
Christianity. But more so have phenomenal
works of good been accomplished by Christians
in pursuit of Christian ideals including the
general and accepted tone of morality of both
Christian and non-Christian cultures across the
No other single
event in mans history has had more
spiritual, political
and social impact
on the living world
and on succeeding
generations.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
globe. While its wrong to ignore the ills of the
faith, its also nothing short of monumental ignorance and denial to ignore its good works.
The secular world has popularized the more
convenient precepts of Christianity, and theres
no better example of convenient convergence
than a world society of non-Christians who focus
their economic efforts around Christmas, or
who claim principles of forgiveness and care for
humanity as a means to emboss themselves and
their mission to others or somehow ease their
own conscience. Christian principles have been
co-opted for centuries by those who thought they
had something to gain by it, but who failed to
embrace the totality of its meaning. Much of the
Western World was civilized by Christians who
infused the morality of their religion into the
foundations of government but then struggled
over history with its inclusion of doctrine as law.
The embrace of belief comes through submission
and faith, not force.
So follows the melba toast lack of passion in
a Happy Holidays wish from a non-Christian
individual, television network, publication or
corporation those who want to co-op the revenue potential but downplay any commitment to
the main event because they fear offending the
outliers of faith.
Christmas is Christianity, and Christianity is
the faith that Jesus is the Son of God, who walked
among men and was persecuted and killed by
them, arose after his death to forgive them and
to offer mankind forgiveness and salvation if we
believe. Christmas, cut from the trappings of the
modern world, is a simple but fabulous promise.
In their seasonal clamor non-Christians try to
pile on the Christmas bandwagon but only
Christians can ride it all the way home.###

I heard a rumor that the City was putting up one
of those free pavilions south of the Rec Center
and moving the farmers market there. I think
that is a safety hazard and traffic cluster being
right smack dab at the North Park entrance
and Park Rd. Where are vendors going to park?
Will people just park along Park Rd to go to
the farmers market? Its hard enough to find a
place to park at the Rec Center during activities
and swim season as it is, let alone dangerous as
cars turn into the park. Yah, put a fence around
it there to look like a jail. Its just a matter of
time that a kid gets ran over. Why not put the
farmers market pavilion where the dilapidated
skate park is, giving you a flat surface, nearby restrooms and electricity already in place?
When not in use by the farmers market the

Big Food makes a buck by keeping America obese
For those who heard Robert F. Kennedy Jr.s
A Time for Choosing-level speech in which he
ended his presidential campaign and endorsed
President-elect Donald Trump, who noted his
Make America Healthy Again, or MAHA,
which in Hawaiian means relief from pain,
campaign, or who read of his plans on taking
office in the Trump administration and who
wonder what it all means, where it came from,
and where it is going, theres a new book for you.
The book is Fat and Unhappy: How Body
Positivity Is Killing Us (And How to Save
Yourself) by Tristan Justice, a reporter at
the Federalist and author of the wellness
Substack newsletter Social Justice Redux, Gina
Bontempo, who has written for Bustle, Teen
Vogue, and Evie Magazine and is a decade-long
health and wellness coach. Courageously, they
take on not just the body positivity movement
but also Big Pharma, Big Food, Big Medicine,
and Big Government.
Not surprisingly, given the toll of COVID19, or rather Big Governments response to it,
exacted, which will be tallied for decades, not
only on all Americans but also on the authors,
they begin with the pandemic. The federal government knew early on that COVID-19 was the
deadliest for those with obesity. Nonetheless, it
failed to convey that information to the public,
insisting instead that all, even K-12 students,
were equally at risk. Thus, the federal government failed to confront the nations greatest
health crisis not COVID-19, but obesity (twothirds of the nations adults are overweight or
obese), which leaves Americans fat, sick, and

depressed.
Worse yet, the federal government shuttered
the primary avenues of health and wellness
(fitness centers that were half closed permanently within two years of the lockdown) as it
mandated that Americans stay home where,
mostly alone, we snacked on cookies, crackers,
chips and other ultra-processed items, whose
sales jumped $10 billion in two years. Big Food
joined in the gluttonous pandemic, offering
fattening freebies for taking the governments
vaccination.
Unfortunately, Big Government getting it
wrong on food, nutrition, and health did not
begin with COVID-19 or even the notorious food
pyramid. Instead, the governments erroneous
ways began shortly after World War II when
Professor Ancel Keyes, who created K-rations
for millions of soldiers and Marines, was asked
by the Minnesota Department of Public Health
to determine the cause of the heart disease
hysteria, which swept the nation after former
President Dwight D. Eisenhowers heart attack
in 1955. Despite the fact that he was not a physician and despite his research being fraught
with methodological flaws and statistical lies,
he became the father of the diet-heart hypothesis and influenced the nations dietary guidelines and health policies for 60 years.
Moreover, in a foreshadowing of what would
be commonplace in the decades ahead, his
research was funded by Procter & Gamble, a
major producer of polyunsaturated vegetable
oils and margarine. Not surprisingly, Keyes
concluded that saturated fats were the cause of
heart disease and advocated a low-fat, cholesterol-free, high-carb (and hence high glucose) diet.
Others disagreed, concluding that sugar consumption, which had increased exponentially
since the mid-1800s, was the culprit. However,
Keyes, like a future expert (Dr. Fauci: I represent science), proclaimed he was the arbiter
of science. Keyes exercised enormous political
influence over government and healthcare institutions. Anyone who challenged his monolithic
narrative on nutrition was discredited, and his
research was defunded. Sound familiar?
In 1978, one of the dissenters, Vanderbilt
Universitys George Mann, a biochemist, confronted the heart Mafia for supporting its
dogma and concluded, For a generation,
SEE PENDLEY ON PAGE 12
In President Donald Trump terms, 2024 aint no 2016
Its not 2016 again.
President-elect Donald Trump is off to a
strong start with markedly fewer obstructions
than the last time he won.
In football terms, he has a lot of green space
ahead of him. In nautical terms, its plain sailing. In political terms, it might not be a honeymoon, but no one is throwing any furniture,
either.
Naturally, there are all sorts of potential pitfalls. Some of Trumps more controversial cabinet picks could, if confirmed, blow up once they
are in place. (Does anyone believe that Robert
F. Kennedy Jr.s tenure at the Department of
Health and Human Services will be smooth and
uneventful?) Republicans only have two votes to
spare in the House. Events will take a hand, and
so will Trumps mercurial nature.
We are in a much different place than eight
years ago, though. When Trump won in 2016,
the shock to the system was so great that the
body politic reacted fiercely and reflexively.
Trump was treated as a virus and every antibody attacked him, from activists in the street
to the director of the FBI.
This time, the reaction is much more muted.
Despite all the fevered warnings of an existential
threat to democracy, when former top Kamala
Harris advisers did an election post-mortem on
the podcast Pod Save America, they talked
about how they could do better next time — in
other words, there will be a next time.
Despite the insistence of his enemies that
Trump cant be normalized, hes been an inescapable fixture of American politics for about
a decade now, with at least another four years
ahead (he could well continue to dominate the
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
Republican Party even after his second term
ends).
Like it or not, Trump is mainstream. He
shows up at those most American events — football games and MMA fights — and gets applause.
He eats McDonalds. He himself is part of the pop
culture.
This time, unlike in 2016, there were no protests after he won the election, or any effort to
get so-called faithless electors to keep him from
assuming office.
There is no cloud of illegitimacy over his
victory. He won more convincingly than in 2016,
carrying the popular vote and denying his opponents the opportunity to say he only won via the
technicality and anachronism of the Electoral
College.
There has been no widely believed conspiracy theory — spun out of vaporous nonsense and
hysteria — that his victory was the result of col-
lusion with a hostile foreign power.
Relatedly, this time Trump doesnt have a
bogus investigation hanging over his head. The
Russiagate probe blighted the initial years of
his first term. Now, the legal decks are clearing.
Whereas Special Counsel Robert Mueller was
about to enter the stage after Trump won in
2016, Special Counsel Jack Smith is exiting it.
As Trump heads into the White House a second
time, he is going to be less legally encumbered
than hes been in years.
In 2016, Trump got elected despite a catastrophic unfavorable rating in the polling. This
time, he was closer to a break-even favorable/
unfavorable rating in some pre-election surveys, and hes ticked upward since. In a recent
CBS poll, 59% of people said they approve of his
transition. If in 2016 it felt like Trump faced a
stiff headwind at the outset, this time he has the
wind — or at least a pleasant breeze — at his back.
Trump is already looming much larger than
the incumbent president who, with the exception of the pardon of his son, has nearly disappeared. When Biden shuffles into retirement, he
wont, like Hillary Clinton, be complaining that
Trump stole the election from him. If Biden is
going to be bitter about anything, it will be about
the machinations that denied him a Democratic
nomination that he had already won.
None of this means that Trump is guaranteed
success in the crucial first two years of his presidency. But the conditions favor him in a way
they decidedly didnt eight years ago.

Lancer boys finish 2nd in tournament Bulldogs wrestling finishes 5th on Senior Night
HUMBOLDT Despite losing
2 of 3 games, the Crest Lancers
finished second in the early season tournament at Humboldt
High School last week winning
a 3-way tiebreaker against both
West Elk and Erie.
In action on Tuesday,
December 10th, the Lancers
downed Erie 48-38 rallying
from an early double digit deficit.
Erie was on fire in the first
quarter and jumped all over
Crest, leading 18-7 following
the game's opening 8 minutes.
Crest battled back in the second outscoring Erie 14-6 to cut
the deficit to 24-21 at halftime.
The Lancers were dominant
coming out of halftime outpacing Erie 15-2 to take a 10 point
lead into the fourth 36-26.
Both teams scored 12 points
in the fourth to close out the
game.
Kole Walter led the Lancers
with 15 points, connecting on 3
of 5 three-pointers in the game.
Jacob Zimmerman recorded
a double-double with 11 points
and 11 rebounds and also added
3 blocks.
Also scoring was Levi
Prasko with 6, Henry White
had 5 points, Gentry McGhee
and Denton Ramesy each had
4 and Lane Yocham tacked on 3
points.
Last Thursday, Crest battled tournament champion
Humboldt hard in the first half
before the host team pulled
away for a commanding 61-33
win.
Humboldt led 18-10 after the
first but Crest and Humboldt
tallied 9 points in the second to
keep the Lancers within striking distance trailing 27-19 at
halftime.
It was all Humboldt in the
second half. They outscored the
Lancers 34-14, including a 16-9

11-6 after the first quarter and
stretched their lead to 30-18 at
halftime after a 19-12 advantage
in the second.
West Elk would be limited
to 15 points in the second half
as the Lancers tried to rally,
but they would run out of time
in the 4-point loss. Crest outscored West Elk 12-5 in the
third and 11-10 in the fourth
quarter.
Prasko led the Lancers with
15 points, connecting on 7 of 8

tunity to compete in the spelling bee. We have no involvement in the selection of words
or their meaning. Cott said
the technical decisions about
word acceptance are all made
by Scripps. He said KPA asked
Scripps for an explanation, and
received this statement:
It is the policy of the Scripps
National Spelling Bee to
include all spellings of a word
as listed in Merriam-Webster
Unabridged, the official source
of the SNSB (Scripps National
Spelling Bee). In this case, for
the word women, MWU lists
the spelling womyn as an
acceptable variant spelling.
The same is true of the word
theater for which MWU lists
the alternate spelling theatre.
Both spellings are correct. If
a parent, guardian, teacher,
administrator, or spelling bee
official believes a word might
present a problem for their students or during their competition, they may choose to omit
the word.
Merriam-Webster did not
respond to an email from The
Informer seeking an explanation of the motivation behind
the misspelling.
However while words like
theatre harken back to orig-
inal British/English spellings,
not unlike flavour (flavor), harbour (harbor), honour(honor),
and humour (humor). Only
in politically charged modern
times have influences sought
to delete masculine references like substituting man or
men for the testosterone-depleted myn an unquestioning bow to anti-male feminism
seeking to promulgate misandry which Werriam-Webster
defines as a prejudice against
or hatred of men.
A
Kansas
State
Representative for the 6th
District and Paola school district board member, Samantha
Poetter-Parshall said local
boards should take a stand to
stop such abuses of the Kings
English.
The only way for the students to compete in the county,
state, and national spelling bee
is to use this list, because its
the only one they acknowledge
to be eligible to move on to the
next level, Poetter-Parshall
told The Sentinel news outlet.
Randy Watson (Kansas
Education
Commissioner)
said that the KPA (Kansas
Principals Association) hosts
the state spelling bee. As a
school board member, I can
possibly make it so no alternate
spelling of words are used. Or
at least attempt that, she said.
On the state level, since
there is no funding directly
going to KPA I am not sure
what to do to stop this crazy
indoctrination of our children.

Over a century ago, the cake
prepared at Cripes included Cherries, Dates, Raisins,
Currants, Walnuts, Citron,
Lemon, Orange, and Pineapple,
which were expensive and rare
in the Midwest. The ads tagline says, Let us have your
order today. Dont wait until
they are all gone. It is hard
to imagine a mass stampede
to the Garnett city square to
retrieve the cake or place an
order. Still, the possibility is
that in homes that may have
made their bread, having something rich and seemingly
indulgent could have made
their holiday seem more significant and more extravagant.
The 1914 advertisement brings
a harbinger of what the successive four Christmases would
look like. In Britain, where the
delicacy bears the most favor,
the cake would eventually be
called Trench Cake due to
the lack of spoilage when the
cake arrived at the front lines
of the Great War. The 0.16
price on the 1914 cake may not
seem like a steep fee today, but
it offered a figurative and literal slice of home to the men on
the front. What seems bizarre
is the nearly $40 price tag on
the item today.

do so when offered, but not a

dense cake is often dry, and
previous iterations of the cake
Ive seen also include the baker
soaking it in rum to combat the
lack of moisture. As a child, I
remember a fruitcake at my
Grandmas home in Salina,
Kansas. Im not sure where
she got it, but the sensory
memory of the smell produces a nearly visceral response
when I think about it. When
she passed away in 2016, I was
reasonably confident that the
same
s 0fruitcake I smelled
decades prior was still in the
tin on top of her Christmas
decorations in the basement.
It seemed to be the same size,
color, and shape that I remembered it to be. Like a bespeckled oversized hockey puck, it
sat in its Christmas tin, waiting to be opened only to induce
a dry heave. For all I know,
Grandma could have gotten a
new one every year, but she
went above and beyond to
make sure it always looked the
same if she had.
Whatever your feelings
about the cake or its contents,
the tie between it and the holiday is indisputable. No one
seems to send a fruitcake for
a birthday or any other holiday; it appears to be only sent
during Christmas. If you want
to send a fruitcake to your family or personal enemies, look no
further than the Collins Street
Bakery website. As for me
and my house, we will happily
display the cake, not the one
from Grandmas basement, as
a doorstop. Merry Christmas!

Cattle Chat: Preparing for Winter
By Lisa Moser, K-State Research
and Extension news service
MANHATTAN, Kan. As
people anticipate cold temperatures, many choose to winterize their homes as a way of optimizing the environment and
minimizing the added expense
of heating.
Just as people prepare for
the winter months, the experts
at the Kansas State University
Beef Cattle Institute say there
are things that ranchers can do
to help the cattle get through
the winter months.
Speaking on a recent Cattle
Chat podcast, K-State beef
cattle nutritionist Phillip
Lancaster stressed the importance of having spring-calving
cows in good body condition
heading into winter.
In really cold weather, the
cows energy maintenance
requirement can increase from
20-40%, so it is important to
increase the caloric intake
of cows that are too thin,
Lancaster said.
He said it is also important
that cattle have access to water.
Make sure you routinely
check the (farms) water sources to make sure they arent
frozen over so that cattle can
drink the water, Lancaster
said.
For ranchers who calve in
the winter months, it is important to monitor the weather and
be able to get the newborns to a
warm and dry place when the
temperature drops and moisture sets in, K-State veterinarian Todd Gunderson said.
Once the temperatures get
into the teens, producers need
to worry about the newborn
calves experiencing frostbite,
especially on their ears and
tails, he said.
K-State veterinarian Brad
White agreed and added, Cold
and wet conditions can lead
to negative health outcomes
as opposed to those that are
born in a cold, but dry environment.
To keep the calves dry, some
producers will move the cows
to a calving barn, according to
Gunderson, who stressed the
importance of sanitation and
fresh bedding to reduce the
spread of disease.
It is important to keep
calves that are in the first 24 to
48 hours of their life in a warm
and dry environment and then
move them out of the barn to
reduce the risk for contamination and disease transmission, he said.
The K-State experts also recommend that producers update
their ranchs year-end records.
When it is too cold to be
outside, that is a great time to
get the records updated on the
computer and do some review
of how the herd performed in
the last year, K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pendell
said. You can look at the data
and think about what you did
well and areas to improve upon
in the year ahead.

less expensive than any of the
surrounding landfills. He said
it currently costs the county
$26.50 a ton to dump material
at the Allen County site and
Anderson County averages 23
ton loads. Those costs dont
include the cost of fuel, equipment and labor.
The hike will likely impact
city trash customers at some
point as well. Garnett City
Manager Travis Wilson said
the city dumps between 180-200
tons of refuse to the transfer
station per month.
County commissioners last
raised landfill rates in 2019. In
2020 while Covid lockdowns
hampered homeowners, a pipeline replacement project from
Welda to Ottawa by Southern
Star Central Gas Pipeline
resulted in a windfall of hundred of thousands of dollars
to the county landfill, as contractors paid commercial fees
to dispose of a water, mud and
chemical slurry mix produced
as a byproduct of the boring
process.

PENDLEY…
FROM PAGE 4
research on heart disease has
been more political than scientific.
The warning came too late.
The year before, former Sen.
George McGovern (D-SD), stung
by his thrashing at the hands
of former President Richard
Nixon in the 1972 presidential election (he lost 49 states)
and in search of a legacy project, published the first federal Dietary Guidelines for the
United States. Written not by
scientists knowledgeable about
nutrition but by Capitol Hill
staffers the lead staffer had
a journalism degree called
for the radical overhaul of the
American diet.
McGoverns 1977 report
eventually became the infamous food pyramid, which calls
for a whopping six to eleven
servings of high-carb grains
and its placement of fats at the
top of the pyramid, foisted
upon the American people by
the Department of Agriculture
in 1992. It all but rules how the
government feeds Americans
and has been official U.S. policy for over three decades.
Although the authors acknowledged that federal nutrition
standards did not cause our
current metabolic crisis, they
did not reverse it. For example,
the guidelines still advocate a
cocktail of over-processed seed
oils above naturally occurring
saturated fats such as those
found in beef and salmon. As
a result of the federal governments emphasis on grains and
our gorging on ultraprocessed
foods, which constitute 73% of
the U.S. food supply, Americans
have been on a metabolic roller coaster.
The bodys metabolic function, the chemical process by
which it converts food and
drink into energy, is the very
foundation of wellness, physical, mental, and spiritual. One
symptom of metabolic dysfunction, or more precisely, mitochondrial dysfunction, is obesity, which results from a toxic
diet and poor lifestyle habits.
In fact, argues the authors, anxiety, depression, obesity, and
just about every other illness
to plague American life is all
one disease. By 2030, research
shows half of all Americans
will be obese, up from 13% in
1962. Tragically, for millions of
Americans, a movement has
sprung up to destigmatize this
crisis.
In 2021, amid the COVID-19
pandemic and its ubiquitous
Quarantine Fifteen weight
gain, Cosmopolitan featured
covers with noticeably obese
models beneath the text, This
is healthy. The next year, Self
did the same, labeling obesity The Future of Fitness.
The body positivity movement
was mainstream, and its once
well-meaning message to
accept ourselves where we are
was raising a white flag of surrender on obesity, the nations
number one health crisis. As
one body positivity advocate
put it, [T]he best way to win
the war against fat is to give up
the fight.

Anyone stressing health and
fitness is labeled fatphobic,
and heaven help a celebrity who
loses weight publicly (Adele).
Not surprisingly, the movement
embraces the toxic mindset of
far-left victimhood (fat liberation/fatphobia) in its intersectional political campaign for
social justice against classism
and racism. Thus, it has drawn
support from woke politicians
and DEI/ESG-inclined, social
justice-warring corporations.
As the body positivity
movement removes emotional pressure on individuals to
lose weight, it enriches corporations that profit off a nation
that is content to become chronically fat, sick, and depressed.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention,
the healthcare industry, for
example, rakes in $173 billion annually treating obesity. Meanwhile, the demand,
by what will become lifelong
users, for obesity drugs alone
will swell to $100 billion annually by 2030. Astonishingly, the
market value of Novo Nordisk,
maker of Ozempic, exceeds
Denmarks GDP by over $100
billion.
It is no surprise that Big
Food is a huge sponsor of body
positivity. In 2023, for example,
Dove, a subsidiary of Unilever,
the British-based outfit that
ranks in the top forty providers
of packaged foods in this country, introduced its Campaign
for Size Freedom as part of the
new movement to end body
discrimination. Likewise,
Nestle, the Swiss food giant,
General Mills, and Kelloggs
are also all in despite the fact
that their cereals are filled with
sugar (more addictive to the
brain than cocaine), contain
no healthy fats, and are ladened
with chemicals.
Meanwhile, Big Food has
underwritten and thus co-opted
public health research, ingratiated itself with and unduly
influenced major public health
institutions, including the
Academy of Nutrition and
Dietetics founded in 1917,
financed influencers, and even
turned the heads of esteemed
non-profit organizations, such
as the NAACP. Big Pharma
does the same.
Although it seems otherwise,
the authors conclude that there
is no grand conspiracy among
corporate power brokers to
keep the worlds population
fat and sick for capital gain.
There is only a convenient
overlap between these corporate incentives, and the culture
of the American consumer that
enables this exploitation. The
way to end that enabling culture, they argue, is through
honest positivity, by which
each takes personal responsibility and confronts painful
emotions of his or her condition
and circumstances yet remain
realistically optimistic about
doing something about it.
Even better, they provide
thoughtful advice that we have
likely not heard for decades,
given that Big Government, Big
Pharma, and Big Food have, in
one way or another, controlled
the debate over and often lied
about food, nutrition, and health
for decades. Their chapters on
