KBI: Parker man crashed into
mothers vehicle, killing her
Strange case is second
lately to put Linn County
in national spotlight
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
PARKER A Parker man is being
held in the Bourbon County Jail
after his arrest in what Kansas
Bureau of Investigation agents
believe was the killing of his
mother by crashing into her car
south of Parker last Tuesday.
Preliminary information indicates that between 2:45 p.m. and
3:10 p.m. Tuesday afternoon,
42-year old James R. Allen of
Parker was driving in his pickup
truck when he struck his mother,
70-year old Charlotte L. Grimes,
of Garnett, who was driving in
a passenger car one-half mile
south of 1800 Rd. on Keitel Rd.
near Parker. It is believed Allen
turned his pickup truck around
and intentionally struck the car
Grimes was driving a second
time.
A press release from the KBI
said Allen left
the scene on
foot, and later
returned to the
area in a second vehicle. By
this time, EMS
had responded.
Grimes
was
Allen p r o n o u n c e d
dead at the
scene.
Charges had not been filed as
of Friday and it was not clear if
Allen had a first appearance in
Linn County District Court. He
was being held in the Bourbon
County Jail in Fort Scott.
Allen was transported by EMS
to the Overland Park Regional
Medical Center where he was
treated for minor injuries. At
approximately 6:15 p.m., KBI
agents arrested Allen for second-degree murder. He was then
booked into the Bourbon County
Jail.
State and national news agencies carried the story late last
week. The incident is the second high profile suspected homicide or suspicious death event to
get attention in Linn County in
recent months, after Unsolved
Mysteries revisited the 2004 disappearance and death of Alonzo
Brooks last July. Brooks attended a rural party in LaCygne 16
years ago and a Linn County
Sheriffs Department search
for him came up empty. His
body was found a month later
when his family organized their
own search and discovered his
remains after only an hour and
a half of searching near the farm
where the party was held. The
case remains unsolved.
Allen was expected to be
charged this week.
Crest alum boosts FHSU to historic win

MANHATTAN Covid-19 left a
2009 Crest alumni to coach and
win the Fort Hays State Tiger
basketball team in an exhibition
against the K-State Wildcats at
the teams December 8 matchup.
FHSU assistant coach and former Crest Lancer Todd Johnston
found himself in a bizarre but
not unheard of predicament in
the recent Covid era. His FHSU
head coach Mark Johnson came
up positive for Covid-19, a finding that also sidelined associate
head coach Jeremy Brown who
wasnt positive but was quarantined. That put the 29 year-old,
former Southeast Kansas Elite

in charge of
the
Tigers
in the trip to
Manhattan.
The Tigers,
with
two
top
players
benched due to
Johnston injuries, took
an early lead
and stayed on
top throughout to notch an 81-68
win. It was the first win against
K-State for the Tigers since 1938.
Ironically the game counts as a
loss on K-States record books
but wont be counted as a win
for Fort Hays, because the Tigers
scheduled the matchup as an
exhibition since the Tigers
cant play more than 22 games
in a regular season according to
NCAA Division II rules.
Johnston was one of Crests
top athletes in the early 2000s,
winning honors in football, basketball and track for the Lancers.

cases drop below 2019
levels, KDHE data says
Excerpted from the Book of Luke
Discrepancy may be
due to miscoding of
certain flu cases
BY DANEBRI HERBERT
THE SENTINEL
TOPEKA Data tracked by the
Kansas Department of Health
and Environment show that
ED visits (emergency department) for COVID-like and influenza-like illnesses are dropping
below 2019 levels.
The last three weeks (ended
Nov. 21, Nov. 28, and Dec. 5)
were below 2019 levels and six
of the last nine weeks were
lower.
Most recently, only 1.8% of
ED visits in Kansas were for
treatment of COVID-like illness
(CLI) or influenza-like illness
(ILI) compared to 2.4% the comparable week in 2019. ED visits
for CLI and ILI were 1.8% of
total visits for the weeks ended
Nov. 21 and Nov. 28, down from
2.2% and 2.7%, respectively, for
the previous year.
The weeks ended Oct. 10,
Oct. `17, and Oct. 24 were also
lower than 2019; ED visits were
the same (2%) for the week
ended Oct. 31 and visits were
one-tenth of a percent higher
than last year for the weeks
ended Nov. 7 and Nov. 14.
As shown on the KDHE chart
below, the share of ED visits
for CLI and ILI rose noticeably
toward the end of last year,
going from 1.5% in mid-October to 4.8% at the end of the
year. This year, the trend since
mid-November is declining.
KDHE also has a chart on
their site tracking the percentage of ED visits that are coded
as COVID, and those numbers
are much higher than the visits with symptoms. Comparing
the two charts, however, raises questions about reported
increases in COVID cases.
The percentage of visits
coded as COVID had been hovering just above 2% from early
July through mid-September
and then moved closer to 3%
by early October.
But then perhaps coincidentally, but right around
the beginning of flu season
the share of ED visits coded
as COVID ramped up and by

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel
was sent from God unto a city of Galilee,
named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused
to a man whose name was Joseph, of the
house of David; and
the virgins name
was Mary.
And
the
angel came in
unto her, and
said, Hail,
thou
that
art highly
favoured,
the Lord
is
with
thee: blessed art thou
a m o n g
women.
A n d
when she
saw him,
she was
troubled at
his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not,
Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy
womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call
his name Jesus.
He shall be great, and shall be called
the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God
shall give unto him the throne of his father
David: And he shall reign over the house
of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there
shall be no end.
Then said Mary unto the angel, How
shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
And the angel answered and said unto
her, The Holy Ghost shall
come upon thee,
and the power of the Highest
shall overshadow thee:
therefore also that holy
thing which shall be born
of thee shall be called the
Son of God. And, behold,
thy cousin Elisabeth, she
hath also conceived a
son in her old age: and
this is the sixth
month with
her, who
w a s
called barren. For with God nothing shall
be impossible.
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid
of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy
word. And the angel departed from her.
And Mary arose in those days, and went
into the hill country with haste, into a city
of Juda; And entered into the house of
Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth
heard the salutation of Mary, the babe
leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was
filled with the Holy Ghost: And she spake
out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed
art thou among women, and blessed is the
fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to
me, that the mother of my Lord should
come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of
thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the
babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a
performance of those things which were
told her from the Lord.
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify
the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in
God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the
low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold,
from henceforth all generations shall call
me blessed. For he that is mighty hath
done to me great things; and holy is his
name. And his mercy is on them that fear
him from generation to generation. He
hath shewed strength with his arm; he
hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the
mighty from their seats, and exalted them
of low degree. He hath filled the hungry
with good things; and the rich he hath sent
empty away. He hath holpen his servant
Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he
spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to
his seed for ever.
And Mary abode with her about three
months, and returned to her own house.

Norman
On March
7,
1930,
Normalee was born to James
Arthur Arch and Alta
(Bennet) Thomas. She was the
third of three children in her
family. She grew up in Moran,
Kansas, graduating from
Moran High School. Normalee
was married to Ralph Mock
in 1949, and this union was
blessed with three sons, Victor
Johnathan, Forrest Thomas
Butch, and Stanley James
Mock. Their marriage ended
in divorce. Normalee married
Leon Edwin Ed Norman on
June 6, 1954, their union was
blessed with one son, Michael
Leon Norman. In the 1960s,
she worked as a Nurses
Aid at the Anderson County
Hospital for many years. In
the 1970s, she was a dispatcher for the Sheriffs Office. She
was office manager at AnCo
Cheese Plant. She was also a
bus driver and Instructor for
Tri-Ko until her retirement in
1989, when she stayed home to
care for Ed until his passing
on January 10, 1990. Ed and
Normalee dreamed of retiring
to south Texas, and live the
snowbird life. Normalee was
able to realize 30 years of that
dream while she lived in Pharr,
Texas. She fell in love with the
warm weather and Texas was
the place for her. This is where
she met her third husband Jim
Reinardy and then her fourth
husband, Bill Cowsky, both
preceded her in death. In 2017
Normalees declining health
dictated her return to Garnett
to live with her son and daughter-in-law, Mike and Helen.
Normalee enjoyed making
crafts of any kind and generally anything that consisted of
working with her hands. Some
of her talents included, making a dress from scratch with
no pattern, crocheting, building Barbie doll furniture for
her granddaughter, renovating
every house that they lived in,
and painting pictures. She was
an excellent woodworker and
she spent many years running
the ceramic and woodworking shop in the Pharr South
retirement community. She
possessed many more talents
too numerous to mention.
Normalee was a member of the
Marion Chapter of the Eastern
Star of Moran, Kansas.
Normalee was preceded in
death by her parents; stepfathers, Harry Frager and
Pete Manchester; husbands,
Ralph Mock, Ed Norman, Jim
Reinardy, and Bill Cowsky;
sons, Butch Mock (2020) and
Stan Mock (2015); sister,
Nadean Deanie and husband, Jeff Fisher; brother,
Forest Frosty and wife, Nila
Thomas.
She is survived by two sons,
John Mock and wife Marcella
and Mike Norman and wife
Helen; 14 grandchildren,
Shawn, Christopher, Stacy
and Alicia Mock; Ryan and
Phillip Mock; Chris, Stephanie,
Thomas, Jeremy, Tina and
John Mock; Bryan Norman
and Heather Rochefort; and 22
great grandchildren.

the chart of symptoms over the
same time period. This fall,
however, less than half of 1%
are being coded as influenza.
But at the same time, more
than three times as many people presenting with CLI or ILI
symptoms are being coded as
COVID.
The Sentinel asked if all ED
visits coded as COVID result
from positive COVID tests,
and the answer may partially
explain the discrepancy.
KDHE epidemiologist Justin
Blanding told the Sentinel that
some ED visits coded as COVID
could be the result of positive
tests but some may be just the
diagnosis of the attending phy-
sician with no COVID test conducted.
COVID survival holds
steady at 98.9%
Despite steadily rising case
numbers, the survival rate has
been holding steady at around
98.9%.
The survival rate for kids
ages 0-17 remains at 100% and
its 99.8% for adults 18-64 as of
December 9. The rate is 97.4%
for adults 65-74 and 92.3% for
adults 75-84.
Adults 85 and over have
been the most impacted, with
an 86.3% survival rate. That
group comprises only 2.9% of
all reported cases but accounts
for 37% of all deaths attributed
to COVID.
Most counties dont publish
hospitalizations and deaths
by age group but breakouts
for Johnson and Wyandotte
counties are in the COVID
Information Center published
by the Sentinelsparent company, Kansas Policy institute.
Other reports in the COVID
Information Center include
deaths, cases, and survival
rates by county and state, case
clusters in Kansas, hospital
and ICU utilization, and COVID
deaths compared to pneumonia
and influenza for Kansas and
neighboring states.
the city of David, which is
called Bethlehem; (because he
was of the house and lineage of
David:) To be taxed with Mary
his espoused wife, being great
with child.
And so it was, that, while
they were there, the days were
accomplished that she should
be delivered. And she brought
forth her firstborn son, and
wrapped him in swaddling
clothes, and laid him in
a manger; because there
was no room for them in
the inn.
And there were in the
same country shepherds
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock
by night.
And, lo, the angel of the
Lord came upon them, and
the glory of the Lord shone
round about them: and
they were sore afraid. And
the angel said unto them:
Fear not: for, behold, I
bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to
all people.
For unto you is born this
day in the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ
the Lord.
And this shall be a
sign unto you; Ye shall
find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in
a manger.
And suddenly there
was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God, and saying:
Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth
peace, good will toward
men.
And it came to pass, as
the angels were gone away
from them into heaven,
the shepherds said one to
another, Let us now go even
unto Bethlehem, and see this
thing which is come to pass,
which the Lord hath made
known unto us.
And they came with haste,
and found Mary, and Joseph,
and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it,
they made known abroad the
saying which was told them
concerning this child. And all
they that heard it wondered at
those things which were told
them by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these
things, and pondered them in
her heart.
And the shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God for
all the things that they had
heard and seen, as it was told
unto them.

this wise: When as his mother
Mary was espoused to Joseph,
before they came together, she
was found with child of the
Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her
husband, being a just man, and
not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put
her away privily.
But while he thought on
these things, behold, the angel
of the Lord appeared unto him
in a dream, saying, Joseph,
thou son of David, fear not to
take unto thee Mary thy wife:
for that which is conceived in
her is of the Holy Ghost. And
she shall bring forth a son, and
thou shalt call his name Jesus:
for he shall save his people
from their sins.
Now all this was done, that
it might be fulfilled which
was spoken of the Lord by the
prophet, saying:
Behold, a virgin shall be
with child, and shall bring
forth a son, and they shall call
his name Emmanuel, which
being interpreted is, God with
us.
Then Joseph being raised
from sleep did as the angel
of the Lord had bidden him,
and took unto him his wife:
And knew her not till she had
brought forth her firstborn
son: and he called his name
Jesus.
And it came to pass in those
days, that there went out a
decree from Caesar Augustus,
that all the world should be
taxed. (And this taxing was
first made when Cyrenius was
governor of Syria.) And all
went to be taxed, every one
into his own city.

Holly Renee Meliza, age 53, of
Paola, Kansas, passed away on
December 18, 2020, at Olathe
M e d i c a l
C e n t e r ,
O l a t h e ,
Kansas.
She was
born
at
Anderson
C o u n t y
Hospital in
Garnett on
Meliza
June 14, 1967,
the daughter of Robert and Franque
(Chilcote) Meliza. At eleven
months of age, she was diagnosed with Downs Syndrome.
As a child, she lived at home
with her parents in Garnett.
She was enrolled in preschool
at Lakemary Center in Paola,
Kansas at the age of four. Holly
began riding the bus to and
from school at this tender age.
She continued in education
with Lakemary until graduation at age 18 at which time she
began working in the Adult
Program. She moved to Paola
in 1988 to live in a group home
with Lakemary Residential
Program. She remained there
except for a few months when
she shared an apartment with
a friend. In total, Lakemary
had been a part of Hollys life of
48 years and her home (living
at the same address and same
room) for 32 years. Without
doubt, Holly was blessed
not only with her family she
was born into but also her
Lakemary family! Holly grew
and blossomed with the care
and direction provided there.
Her Dad and family are grateful to Lakemary Center.
Holly loved her church
and attended both the First
Christian Church in Garnett
as well as the Christian Church
in Paola. She enjoyed music
and often when discussing
songs, would refer to her mother teaching her the simple
Bible School songs she found
familiar. Other interests were
TV game shows and the Perry
Mason show. She knew all the
characters of Perry Mason
and would engage her visitors
in conversation about them.
Horses were also an intense
interest, she never tired of
receiving items with horse pictures. A special event for Holly
once was visiting a farm where
she was able to sit on a horse
and pet it.
Holly was known to all as a
loving and friendly person, she
was a major hugger. Family
and friends will miss Holly for
many reasons but this hugging
comes to the top as #1.
Holly was preceded in
death by her mother, Franque
Marcene Chilcote Meliza; her
sister, Robyn Leota Meliza;
grandparents, Robert Meliza
Sr., Leota Whitaker Meliza,
Charles and Helen Barber
Chilcote, aunts and uncles.
She is survived by her
father, Robert Andrew Meliza,
Jr.; also by aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends.
Funeral services will be
held at 2:00 p.m., on Monday,
December 28, 2020, at the First
Christian Church, Garnett,
with burial following in the

SMETHERS
JUNE 5, 1945 – DECEMBER 11, 2020
Gary Michael Smethers,
75, of Selma, Kansas, died
December 11, 2020 at his home
after a brief
illness. He
was
born
on June 5,
1945, to his
parents,
Ivan
and
Thelma Lou
(Cochran)
Smethers.
Smethers
Mike
is
perhaps best
known to farmers in Anderson
and adjoining counties as a
mechanic at Gem Farm Supply,
the former Allis Chalmers dealership in Garnett, where he
worked for nearly 30 years.
During harvest season, it was
not unusual for him to be dispatched to wheat or corn fields
throughout east central Kansas
to do emergency repairs on
equipment. He was known for
his dedication to customer service and his support of people
in the agribusiness industry.
Mike attended elementary
school in Selma, and completed
his education at Kincaid Rural
High School, where he graduated in 1963. He attended college
at Pittsburg State University
for a year before joining the
United States Army in 1966.
Following basic training, he
was sent to Vietnam where he
served with distinction, earning both the Purple Heart and
the Bronze Star. For the rest of
his life, Mike remained proud
of his service in Vietnam and
was known for seeking out
other Vietnam veterans to
share memories about the war
and its impact on their lives.
Many people in the area
knew Mike Smethers through
his varied interests and hobbies. To many friends, he was
a fan of dirt track racing, and
he often traveled throughout
eastern Kansas and western
Missouri to attend races. To
others, Mike was a lover of the
outdoors who enjoyed biking
(he made many friends while
riding the Prairie Spirt Trail
between Garnett and Colony)
and he often took long walks
through the woods and the
prairie collecting rocks and
photographing flowers, trees
and wildlife. Others knew him
as an avid hunter, a sport he
enjoyed most of his life. Other
friends may remember Mike as
a lover of rock and roll music,
who later in life taught himself
how play bass guitar and the
drums. He enjoyed local and
regional history and was a regular presence at area museums
and historic sites. But, above
all, no matter the setting or the
interest, Mike is best known as
a man who genuinely enjoyed
meeting people and striking up
conversations.
Mike
married
Lorna
VanMeter of Mildred in 1971.
Their son, William, was born
in December of that year. Mike
relished being a father and
grandfather and loved nothing
more than being with his family.
He is preceded in death by
his parents, Ivan and Thelma
Lou Smethers. He is survived
by his son, William Smethers
and his wife Jill of Lawrence
their son Bryce; and his
brother, Steven Smethers of
Manhattan.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a memorial service
will not be held at this time.
Persons wishing to remember
Mike may make donations to
the Wounded Warriors Fund in
care of the Schneider Funeral
Home in Pleasanton, Kansas.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 22, 2020
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, Christmas is for Christians.
The commercialism of Christmas shouldnt
be looked upon with the snobbery and disdain
that many fundamentalists enjoy, 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,
no doubt, but no more pagan than our pagan
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.
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 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; 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; so too have amazing works of
charity and good been offered by Christians.
Mankind is left to determine if that glass is half
empty or half full. Its wrong to close our eyes
to either.
Yet it is Christianity itself which resides
at the core of disgust among much of the
American Leftist movement. Woke culture
holds in contempt any movement even one
thousands of years old which suggests people
are born with a gender, that traditional marriage and relationships should be celebrated
and that fetuses should be treated like human
life. Thats heresy to leftists of every generation, so its understandable that a Merry
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Christmas from that following lacks clout.
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, loving
ones neighbor and personal discipline 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. The mixing
of religion – any religion – into political policy
has never failed to be disastrous. The embrace
of belief comes through submission and faith,
not force.
So comes the lack of authenticity in a
Merry Christmas wish from a non-Christian
individual, television network, publication or
corporation. How can a non-Christian purport
to understand? In how many other societies is
a non-believer who utters what should be such
sacred words castigated for it?
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, rose 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 simple but
fabulous indeed.
Non-Christians can get on the Christmas
bandwagon, but only Christians can ride it all
the way home. ###

plenty of parking for their cars. All the other

Biden story handled by… a comedian?
We had breaking news Thursday night: Joe
Biden is proud of his son Hunter.
After a blackout on the Hunter Biden scandal before the election, it often seems like the
media is struggling to offer the appearance of
coverage without actually asking questions
that could be damaging for the president-elect.
That view of many was reinforced in the first
interview with Biden about his son since the
November election. It was conducted by CBS
Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show with
Stephen Colbert.
Biden has refused to answer questions on
the expanding scandal surrounding his sons
China connections so this was a big deal.
However, the president-elects team arranged
for the all-important question to be asked by a
comedian on a late-night show.
CBS is filled with hugely talented reporters
who were left as pedestrians watching this
fawning interview.
There was something not quite right about
what unfolded on Thursday night. It was
like the New York Mets starting pitcher
Jacob DeGrom and the Cleveland Indians
Shane Bieber watching from the dugout as Dr.
Anthony Fauci takes the mound as the starter
in a season opener. The only difference is that
this was clearly designed to be both the opener
and closer for the media.
It did not even appear newsworthy that
Biden was denouncing the Justice Deparment
investigation as an example of foul play
after CBS and other networks spent years
GUEST COMMENTARY
JONATHAN TURLEY GEORGE WASH. UNIV.
denouncing Trump for calling the Russian
collusion story a deep state conspiracy or
a politically motivated hoax. When Biden
dismisses such investigations, it is treated
as manifestly true or at least not worthy of a
challenging follow-up question.
For the record, I have written about the
influence-peddling scheme of Hunter Biden
and his uncle for years.
I have never had a reporter in private question whether this was an influence-peddling
scheme or the Biden familys history of using
public office to enrich themselves. Indeed, it
was once an open joke.
When Joe Biden pushed to put his entirely unqualified son Hunter on the board of
Amtrak, the only justification that Democratic
Senator Tom Carper of Delaware could come
up with in Committee was that Hunter Biden
was qualified because Hunter Biden has
spent a lot of time on Amtrak trains. It was
like appointing him to a top Food and Drug
Administration board because he eats a lot.
The Colbert interview was an utter embarrassment. Colbert gently raised the scandal and immediately framed it in terms of
Republicans seeking to use it against Joe
Biden.
PRESIDENT-ELECT JOE BIDEN: We have
great confidence in our son.
JILL BIDEN: Uh-huh.
JOE BIDEN: I am not concerned about
any accusations that have been made against
him. Its used to get to me. I think its kind of
foul play, but, look, it is what it is. And hes a
grown man. He is the smartest man I know.
I mean, in pure intellectual capacity. And as
long as hes good, were good.
STEPHEN COLBERT: As a father, I understand that, and and and I I admire that.
But, I mean, in terms of your job as president,
you can reach across the aisle to people who
will be using this as an attack on you when
it is such a personal attack because its about
family?
JOE BIDEN: But if it benefits the country,
yes. I really mean it.
Later, the president-elects team sought to
spin the reference to foul play to say that
Biden was referencing a long history of political attacks.

Trumps judge picks affirmed by denying him
One of President Donald Trumps foremost
achievements has been to erect a formidable
obstacle to his own post-election legal challenges.
The federal judiciary, now seeded throughout with Trump-nominated judges, has given
the back of its hand to pro-Trump election
litigation, with Trump judges issuing notably
harsh opinions.
Its always been strange that Trump, who
will never be mistaken for a rigorous constitutionalist and who personalizes everything,
has elevated a couple of hundred judges who,
by and large, are deeply committed to the
Constitution and feel no particular personal
loyalty to him.
Hardly an institutionalist, Trump has buttressed the institution of the judiciary. Not
one to honor norms, hes generally nominated
sticklers for them to the bench.
The paradox reached its height in the
weeks after the election. Trump and his allies
launched a battery of litigation asking for
millions of votes to be thrown out or elections
to be decertified, hoping to catch a break from
a judge somewhere or from the U.S. Supreme
Court. Trump himself put out a call for courage from a justice or justices.
Instead, the Trump team got nowhere, even
with Trump-nominated jurists.
At a fraught time when most Republican
elected officials in Washington were keeping
their heads down, Trump judges involved in
post-election litigation issued their rulings
without fear or favor. They have shown a com-
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
mitment to facts, reason and the law, and great
institutional self-confidence.
Progressives portrayed Trump judges as
right-wing hacks. Elizabeth Warren called
Trumps picks aggressively unqualified,
while the editor of the left-wing website
Talking Points Memo, Josh Marshall, tweeted: The federal judiciary is corrupt. The
Supreme Court is the most deeply corrupted.
With the president of the United States
raging at our electoral system and desperately
seeking assistance from the courts, the alleged
partisanship and corruption of the Trumpinfluenced judiciary has been nowhere in
evidence.
Trump
nominated
University
of
Pennsylvania law professor Stephanos Bibas
to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
2017. The signature Trump litigation in
Pennsylvania landed in his lap, and Bibas
wrote an unsparing opinion for a unanimous
panel of the 3rd Circuit dismissing it.
In Georgia, U.S. District Judge Steven D.
Grimberg, nominated by Trump last year,
denied a request by Trump super fan Lin
Wood to stop the certification of the results.
And the Supreme Court denied a request to
block certification of the Pennsylvania results
in a curt, one-sentence order with no public
dissents.
One of the main Democratic lines of attack
on Justice Amy Coney Barrett during her
confirmation was that, as Illinois Sen. Dick
Durbin said, she was being sent on assignment to the Supreme Court by President
Trump in order to be there if the president
needs her on an election contest.
Where does Barrett go to get her apology?
Surely, the overtly transactional Trump
would have been happy for her to have actually been his political tool on the court, along
with his other two picks. But Barrett and her
colleagues, trained and soaked in the law and
profoundly cognizant of their institutional
role, are not susceptible to such influence.
Neil Gorsuch is not Corey Lewandowski;
Stephanos Bibas is not Rudy Giuliani.
Nothing underlines the merits of Trump
judicial selections quite like their willingness
to deny him and his allies, as warranted.

HISTORY
1920: Large prairie wolf shot
just 4 miles outside of Garnett
Interesting Mont Ida artifact found
On the 8th of December, I
spent the afternoon metal
detecting at the site of the old
livery stable in Mont Ida, Ks.
I found this token just inside
the gate to the pasture where
the stable had been in the late
1800s and early 1900s. As
you can see it had badly corroded over the years. I spent
some time cleaning it the best
I could. Money wise, it isnt
valuable, but it is really a neat
historical artifact of Mont Ida.
Ive been doing research about
it and this is what Ive learned
thus far.

involved in a fight following
a Greeley Days dance that
hospitalized three participants. According to Greeley
Marshall Jim Gilner, a

was attempting to hold a juvenile in the juveniles car. The
juvenile responded by reaching for a tire tool which he
struck Guilfoyle with. A juvenile companion of Guilfoyle,
from Garnett, joined the fight.
The Guilfoyle and his friends

Holiday travel down 27% in Kansas Region; COVID-19 key factor
WICHITA, Kan. Dec. 21,
2020 AAA Travel projects
about 7.1 million people in the
West North Central region
which includes Kansas will
travel for the year-end holidays, down from 9.6 million in
2019. This expected 27% decline
echoes AAAs national holiday
travel forecast, announced earlier, that shows three-quarters
of Americans planning to stay
home, with COVID-19 consid-
ered to be a key factor in the
decision by many who are opting not to travel.
What to Know Before You Go
Plan Ahead. Check with state
and local officials along your
route and at your destination
to learn about local guidance
and any restrictions that may
be in place. This includes what
is expected of you when you
return home. Many localities
are requiring COVID-19 testing
prior to and after travel.
Follow Public Health
Guidance.
The CDC recommends taking a COVID-19 test one to three
days before travel and another
three to five days after travel, plus reducing nonessential
activities for seven days after
travel. Travelers should be
aware of these and other local
and state travel restrictions,
including testing requirements
and quarantine orders, and
additional CDC guidance for
before, during and after their
travels.
Consistent use of face masks
combined with social distancing (at least 6 feet) and regular handwashing are the best
ways to lower your risk of
contracting COVID-19. Be sure
to pack face masks, disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer and
a thermometer to help protect
and monitor your health. Also
pack water and extra snacks to
reduce the need to stop along
your trip.
Verify Before You Go.
Call ahead to minimize any
last-minute surprises.
Hotels Prior to any hotel stay,
call ahead to ensure your hotel
is open and ask what precautions they are taking to protect
guests. Ask about social distancing protocols like capacity
reductions in common spaces,
hotel staff requirements to
wear masks at all times and if
all amenities are available, like
restaurant dining.
Car rentals If renting a
car, ask what has been done
to clean the vehicle. For extra
peace of mind, use disinfecting
wipes to wipe down door handles, steering wheels, shifters
and control panels.

Holiday survival strategies for coping with grief
by Angela Morrow R.N.
For anyone dealing with an
illness, grief, or the loss of a
loved one, the holidays can be
a time of sadness, pain, anger,
or dread. It can be difficult to
cope, especially when you see
the sights and sounds of holiday happiness all around you.
The ebb and flow of grief can
become overwhelming with
waves of memories, particularly during Valentine's Day,
Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
Grief can also magnify the
stress that is often already a
part of the holidays. How can
you begin to fill the emptiness
you feel when it seems that
everyone else is overflowing
with joy? There are a few strategies that you can employ to
help you get through this time.
Offer Yourself Some Grace
One of the best things you
can do is give yourself permission to feel whatever it is you're
feeling. Try not to fall prey to
the belief that you have to feel
a certain way or do certain
things in order to make the
holiday normal. If you feel
sad, allow the tears to come; if
you feel angry, allow yourself
to vent some steam.
Be Kind to Yourself
It's important that you get
the rest and nourishment you
need and try not to take on
more than you can handle.
If you need to be alone, then
honor that. If you crave the
company and affection of others, seek it out. Do whatever
feels right to you during this
difficult time.
Ask For and Accept Help
The holiday season is no
time to feign strength and independence when you're grieving
a death. You will need the help
and support of others to get
through, so dont feel as if you
are a burden. People generally
receive satisfaction and even
joy from helping those they
care about.
After a death, people often
desire to help but simply dont
know how. If you need someone to help you prepare meals,
shop, or decorate, this is the
time to speak up and make
your needs known. Quite often,
they will be delighted to feel
like they are helping you in
some way.
The same holds true for your
emotional needs. Friends and
family members might feel
uncomfortable talking about
your grief. They might think
that you dont want to talk
about it and dont want to be
reminded of your pain.
The American Psychological
Association (APA) notes that
not talking about someone's
death lead to isolation and discourage those who are there to
support you. Again, you will
have to tell your loved ones
the best way that they can help
you. If you want to talk about
what youre going through, or
you just need a shoulder to cry
on, let them know.1
Find Support
Sharing your feelings
healing process.
Stop Making Comparisons
Its easy to see other people or families enjoying holiday festivities and compare
their experience to what you
feel during this difficult time.
This may make you feel worse
or that you're lacking in some
fashion.
Keep in mind that the holidays are stressful for most
people and they are rarely the
"magical" gatherings depicted
in greeting cards, movies, or
on television. Try to embrace
what you have rather than
compare it to what you think
others have.
A Word From Verywell
As difficult as it seems, you
will survive the holidays in one
piece. Because of your grief,
this holiday might prove to
be a very difficult experience.
However, you will get through
it and come out on the other
side stronger than before. You
dont necessarily have to enjoy
the holidays or even go through
the motions of pretending to
enjoy the festivities.
That said, its also fine to
have a good time in spite of
your grief. If happiness slips
through your window of grief,
allow it to happen and enjoy it.
You wont be doing your loved
one an injustice by feeling joyous. The best gift you can give
anyone you love is that of being
true to yourself and living your
life to the fullest, even as you
adjust to the loss and remember your loved one.
is often the best way to get
through them and finding people you can talk to will help.
Friends and relatives can be a
great support during times of
grief. However, they might be
coping with their own feelings
or so immersed in the holidays
that they cannot offer the support you need.
Another good option is to
look for a grief support group.
You can search online or check
with local churches, community centers, funeral homes, or
a hospice to find a group that
suits you. Support group members often make friends that
end up being a source of comfort and care for many years to
come.
Make a Difference
Many people like to help
others in large or small ways
during the holiday season. We
may drop our change in a charity basket, purchase a gift for
a needy child, or donate to a
favorite organization. This can
help us feel like we are contributing to the greater good.
Likewise, helping improve
the lives of others can help take
the focus off your loss. Studies
show that volunteering can be
beneficial to our mental health,
particularly as we age.2
Consider volunteering at a
nursing home, hospital, hospice, childrens shelter, or soup
kitchen. You can also find a
way to help another family
member or friend who may
need it. Any of these things can
prove cathartic and help in the
Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year!

Winter wellness: 3 expert
tips to boost overall health
(BPT) – As we head into the chillier months, the winter season
brings simple pleasures such
as hot cocoa, holiday music and
cozy nights by the fireplace.
However, the hustle and bustle
of the season can also take a
toll on your well-being. Stress
and unhealthy eating associated with seasonal celebrations
are paired with colder weather
that makes many people want
to curl up inside with a blanket.
Plus, the ongoing challenges of
virtual learning, remote working and staying home can also
impact overall health.
Fortunately,
Registered
Dietitian and Nutritionist
Dawn Jackson Blatner has
three simple tips to boost your
overall health and immunity
this winter:
Get active daily
With so many people working and studying remotely,
physical activity is already
lower. With the addition of
colder weather, people of all
ages may not be getting enough
exercise. It's important to make
time to be active at a moderate level for 20-30 minutes a
day. You can stay safe working out at home by following
free online workout videos,
practicing stretching and yoga
independently, playing actively with your kids, or doing
another activity that gets you
up and moving. Whatever you
like, just make sure to carve out
time daily to be active to ensure
the most benefits.
Soak up the sun whenever
possible
Fresh air and being outside
is great for supporting mental
health, but it has physical benefits as well. Being outside for
10-15 minutes each day helps
your body absorb adequate vitamin D from the sun. So even if
the weather is chilly, it's worth
putting on a few layers and
going outside on your patio or
taking a walk around the block.
You'll be amazed how refreshed
you feel! Remember, if you're
going to be outside longer than
15 minutes, you'll want to wear
sunscreen because even during
cool or cloudy days, sunburn is
a possibility.
Choose nutrient-dense foods
Ensuring you get plenty of
vitamins is important, especially during winter months,
to support health and wellness. One simple swap you
can make is adding nutritious
Eggland's Best eggs to your
diet. Compared to ordinary
eggs, Eggland's Best eggs are
richer in a variety of micronutrients including six times
more vitamin D, 10 times more
vitamin E, and more than double the vitamin B12 and omega-3s. These micronutrients
can only be derived through the
foods we eat and can help support a strong immune system

Managing thin cows in winter
Kansas dairy industry is
growing despite fewer farms
Dairy
cow
numbers
increase but growth limited by lack of processing
facilities
EMPORIA, Kan. Kansas
is well known for beef
production, but the states
dairy industry has grown
significantly over the past
20 years and Kansas State
Universitys Mike Brouk
expects that trend to continue.
Brouk, an animal science professor and K-State
Research and Extension
dairy specialist, said there
are twice as many dairy cows
in Kansas now as there were
in 1998, and that the state has
been adding 3,000 to 4,000 per
year.
The trend started years ago
when some large dairies relocated from other states because
of Kansas readily-available
feed, land and generally favorable climate, according to a
USDA report.
Were milking more cows,
but were also getting more
milk per cow, said Brouk, who
provided an update for Kansas
agriculture extension agents
last month.
Milk production per cow is
up about 50% from where it
was in 1998, reaching an average of 23,429 pounds per cow
per year in 2019 from 16,037
pounds in 1998. Brouk largely
credits Kansas producers and
their management practices for
the increases.
He works with some producers who have started using
robots or are considering
switching to robotic milking
but noted that startup costs are
an obstacle to the adoption of
the technology. The equipment
investment for robotic milking
is about $2,500 per cow compared with $250 per cow using
conventional equipment.
Currently, five farms in
Kansas are milking robotically.
Kansas overall milk production is about three times what
it was in 1998 because of the
increase in cow numbers and
more milk production per cow.
That puts the state at No. 16
nationally in total milk production and No. 14 in production
per cow.
One of the downsides in
the industry is consolidation.

fold decrease in the number
of dairy farms in the state,
but added that many of the
remaining farms are growing. Some have locations in
other states.
We produce more
milk in Kansas than what
we can consume as a population, he added.
Americans typically
consume about 600 pounds
of milk or milk products
each year. Since Kansas
currently produces about
twice that much or 1.13 million pounds, about half goes
to other states often southeast
states where production per
capita is less or is exported to
other countries.
Brouk said dairy consumption has increased over the past
20 years, but how we consume
dairy products has changed
drastically during that time.
Weve had a decrease in fluid
milk sales of about 42% but
an increase in cheese sales of
about 170%. Its not all about
fluid milk anymore.
As in other agriculture sectors, dairy exports to other
countries have become increasingly important and have continued to increase even this
year during the coronavirus
pandemic. Mexico is the largest
buyer of U.S. dairy products,
but southeast Asia and Canada
are also key markets.
Brouk said total dairy product consumption is up about
20% from where it was in 1975.
We have a very healthy
market, healthy demand for
our products and thats a good
thing for our industry, he
said.
He noted, however, that even
with robust milk production
and demand, dairy farmers
margins are tight because of
feed costs. A measure called the
milk-feed price ratio indicates
that dairy producers profit
margins are growing tighter.
That means any uptick
in feed prices without a corresponding move up in milk
prices will make margins even
tighter, Brouk said.
MANHATTAN – In the midst
of the holiday season and the
increased access to sweets,
many people may be observing
a less than ideal change in their
personal body conditions.
While people may strive for
a skinnier physique, holding
a thin body condition over the
winter may create deficits for
cattle heading into calving season, said the experts at Kansas
State Universitys Beef Cattle
Institute on a recent Cattle
Chat podcast.
Thin cows have a higher
maintenance requirement in
the winter than cows in adequate condition because they
have to work harder to stay
warm, said Bob Weaber, beef
cattle specialist and podcast
contributor.
To assess the herd, veterinarian Bob Larson suggests
ranchers periodically check
them and even take pictures of
the herd to help monitor changes over time.
In any group, I expect some
variation in the condition, but
ideally I want almost all the
cows to be in a moderate body
condition, Larson said. And
if they are, then I know that I
am managing the group pretty
well.
Larson said if cattle ranchers notice that there are thin
cows in the herd, they may
need to evaluate the situation
further to see if there is a pattern tied to their age or access
to feed.
The number of cows in the
herd will creep up if, for exam-
ple, they are getting pushed out
of the feed bunk and not getting
the protein supplementation
they need, Larson said.
The experts agree that two
feet of bunk space per head is
a minimum amount of space
needed.
If you only allocate a foot
and a half on a single-sided
feed bunk, the big cows will
push out the thinner, smaller cows that really need the
feed, Weaber said. He prefers
to place the feed bunk in the
middle of the pasture so cattle
can access the feed from both
sides.
Larson added that the
amount of bunk space needed
will depend on the type of feed
provided and how quickly the
cattle consume it.
Big cubes fed on the ground
will allow the cattle to have
easy access because you can
spread it out, but there is
more feed waste and sanitation issues that come with that
strategy, veterinarian Brad
White said.
Once producers determine
why some of the cows are thin,
they may need to make culling
decisions or form a plan to add
condition back on the cows,
according to Weaber.
Identify the commonalities
of the problem animals and
that will determine the best
management strategies to fix
it, as well as knowledge for the
future, Weaber said.
White suggested producers
look at ways to segregate the
thin cows.
Grouping the thin cows
together can be a powerful
tool in giving them the extra
feed they need ahead of calving season, White said. The
challenge, he added, may lie
in where they are located and
the ease of separating them for
feeding.
Larson said it is important
to consider where the cow is in
the pregnancy when coming up
with the supplementation plan.
Right now, spring calving
cows are midway through their
pregnancies and the calves are
not pulling that much nutrient demand from them, but as
they get closer to calving that
demand goes up significantly,
Larson said.
He added: The cows maintenance cost is the lowest it is
going to be right now and that
makes it a good time to put
some weight on her rather than
waiting to do it later.
Weaber advised producers
to calculate the days to calving when figuring out the gain
needed.
White gave an example: If I
have 100 days, I could target the
cows to gain two pounds per
day. That will give them about
200 pounds of gain.
The bottom line, White said,
is to do the math for your herd
and then figure out if it is just
a couple individuals that need
to gain weight or the entire
group, because that answer will
drastically change the decision
you make and what options are
available.

After the holidays,
heres what to do with
your Christmas tree
MANHATTAN – Once the holiday season has passed, homeowners still have at least one
pretty important job to do:
Disposing of the Christmas
tree properly.
Kansas State University
extension forestry specialist
Charles Barden notes many
towns in Kansas offer curbside
pickup for Christmas trees,
which are then ground up for
mulch or burned.
Short of that or if you miss
the designated in your community some other ideas that he
offered include:
Tie the tree to the corner
of a backyard deck, deciduous tree or to a post near a
bird feeder. Then spread some
birdseed. The tree will provide
cover for predators and block
the wind on cold nights.
Sink the tree in a pond to
improve fish habitat and fishing. The tree serves as a coral
reef for minnows and other
smaller aquatic life. Larger
fish are drawn by the shade
and presence of prey.
To sink a tree, tie the base
to a cinder block with a short,
stout rope, and toss it in,
Barden said. Just be sure to
get permission from the pond
owner first.
Clip branches and use
them for insulation and mulch
for semi-hardy plants like
roses. Split and dry the trunk
for kindling; however, pitch
pockets in the wet wood can
explode when burned, sending
hot embers up the chimney or
across the room. Thus, Barden
discourages burning a green
Christmas tree inside.
Barden and his colleagues
in K-States Department of
Horticulture and Natural
Resources produce a weekly
Horticulture Newsletter with
tips for home and yard. The
newsletter is available to view
online or can be delivered by
email each week.
Other holiday-related tips
from the newsletter include:
Caring for fruit baskets.
Keep fruit in cool conditions
to preserve its quality as long
as possible. Thus, it is wise to
disassemble the basket as soon
as you receive the gift. Store
bananas and other tropical
fruits separately. With proper
care, fruit may be able to be
eaten 3-4 weeks after unwrapping the basket.
Storing pecans and other
nuts. Excessive water loss can
lead to shriveled nutmeats,
and the fats and oils can quickly spoil (develop an off-flavor
or rancid taste). Nuts quickly
absorb flavors from other products, so store them in a tightly sealed container. If stored
properly, nuts can be stored in
a freezer for up to one year, but
using them within six months
is preferred.
Livestock producers have more
risk management possibilities

MANHATTAN – The use of
crop insurance by farmers
is pretty common across the
United States. Livestock insurance, not so much.
A Kansas State University
agricultural
economist
believes, however, that recent
improvements in risk management products for livestock
producers by the USDAs Risk
Management Agency may
make them worth a second
look.
We like to say the federal crop insurance program is
the foundation for the federal farm safety net in the U.S.,
but there are a lot of products
in the federal crop insurance
program that can be used by
livestock producers, said
Jenny Ifft, associate professor
and agricultural policy specialist with K-State Research and
Extension.
Livestock insurance programs have not been embraced
like crop insurance has for
several reasons, said Ifft, noting that in many cases 90%
of eligible crops are covered
by crop insurance, but the use
of livestock insurance is much
less common.
Livestock insurance products havent been as developed
as long and historically, participation has been capped or
limited by either the number
of head or amount of dollars,
and the cost sharing with the
federal government has been
lower, she said.
The way I like to look at
insurance is that farmers are
always making decisions about
the future and you try to make
the best decisions you can
with the best information you
have, Ifft said.
Information on costs, prices, weather and what kind of
production you expect all of
those things are uncertain and
can be different in the future
from what you expect today.
The point of insurance is to get
you closer to what you expect
for cost, prices and production,
so that you can make better
decisions today.
She outlined three primary
livestock insurance choices.
Whole Farm Revenue
Protection has been in existence since 2015. Its not widely
used in Kansas with only six
farms covered in 2020 under
such a policy. Public awareness and knowledge about this
type of coverage is still limited. This type of coverage was
mostly developed for the purpose of providing an insurance
option for diversified farming
JOHNSTON…

operations. It covers everything thats produced on the
farm and can include up to $2
million of livestock revenue.
For those who have three to six
major crops and livestock, five
years of tax records and basic
production records, WRFP
may be worth considering, Ifft
said. The tax records are used
to set the guarantee.
Livestock Risk Protection
is based on livestock futures
prices and protects against
drops in futures market prices.
This product can be used to
cover feeder cattle and cattle
on feed in feedyards. Recent
changes in this type of insurance may make it more attractive to producers than it has in
the past, in that cost sharing
from the federal government
is now higher. Previously
cost sharing was 25%-35% of
premium cost but thats now
been expanded to 35%-55% of
premium cost. Additionally,
the number of head possible
to cover has been increased
from 6,000 previously to 12,000
currently per year. Producers
can enroll in this coverage any
time during the year.
Forage Production Risk is
a product that has been catching on in Kansas and other
states, Ifft said, particularly the
Pasture, Rangeland and Forage
choice. Almost 2 million acres
of pasture are enrolled in this
type of coverage in the state
this year. That sounds like a
lot, she added, unless you consider that more than 5 million
acres each in corn and wheat
are enrolled in crop insurance
programs.
Its grown a lot but its still
relatively new and relatively
small, Ifft said of this type
of risk management. This
program effectively protects
against drought risk. Its based
on rainfall in a producers
area. In this case, there just
needs to be less rainfall during
a coverage period in a producers area than there has been
historically.
In addition to the programs
administered by the Risk
Management Agency, Ifft said
the USDAs Farm Service
Agency also has programs that
can help producers, particularly with weather or disaster
events.
In determining your
options, it helps to know
breakeven costs. We ag economists always recommend
knowing your costs for a number of reasons and one of those
reasons is so you can manage
your price risk, she said.

RICHMOND – Central Heights
escaped with a narrow 50-48
victory at home as Northern
Heights failed to connect on a
shot at the buzzer.
The game was close throughout as the Vikings held a slim
11-10 lead after the first quarter
and kept that same lead heading into halftime 26-25.
Northern Heights had the
upperhand in the third quarter, jumping out to a 3 point
lead heading into the fourth
quarter 36-33.
The Vikings would rally
at home outpacing Northern
Heights 17-12 over the final 8
minutes to pull out their first
victory of the young season.
Brady Burson led the way
with 21 points on the night for
the Vikings. After being held
scoreless, Burson scored 8
points in the second quarter, 5
more in the third and then led
the comeback with 8 points in
the fourth quarter.

OSAGE CITY – It was a great
first quarter for the Central
Heights Vikings against undefeated Osage City (5-0) as they
bolted out to a 24-14 lead to
see it quickly evaporate in the
second quarter as Osage City
pulled out a hard fought 75-64
victory.
Osage City followed up their
14 point first quater with a 28
point second period to erase a
10 point deficit and head into
the locker room with a 42-37

Central Heights came out of
halftime and made things difficult on the host Osage City
squad.
The Vikings erased their 5
point deficit heading into the
fourth as the teams were knotted at 52 with just the final 8
minutes to play.
Unfortunately Osage City
controlled the final period and
pulled away slightly for the
double digit victory.
For Central Heights, Jarod

that had the upperhand in the
second to tie it up at 27 at halftime.
It appeared the Bulldogs
were in position to run away
with it in the third period. AC
outscored Oz by the tune of 17-6
to head into the final quarter
up 11.
Osawatomie was determined to keep their undefeated
record going but despite scor-
ing 27 fourth quarter points,
the Bulldogs countered with
17 to hold on for the one point
victory.
AC was led again by Rayna
Jasper and Cali Foltz. They
combined to score 53 of ACs
61 points. Jasper finished with
31 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists
and 2 steals. Foltz added 22
points and 12 rebounds.
Lady Bulldogs cruise past Iola
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
IOLA – After a sluggish start,
the Anderson County Lady
Bulldogs had a huge second
quarter on their way to an easy
45-26 on the road last Tuesday.
AC led 9-5 after the first
and blew it open in the second
with an 18-9 advantage to go up
27-14.
The second half was much
closer but the Bulldogs cruised
to the win by limiting Iola to
just 12 second half points.
Iola struggled all night connecting on just 1-12 three-pointers. Conversely, the Bulldogs

1-Stop
Colony Christian Church Dont miss what really counts
Howard Reiter gave the
Communion Meditation called
"The Store Will Pass", referencing Exodus 5:1-14. We are told
in the Bible that things will get
worse before they get better.
When Moses went to speak to
Pharaoh about the Israelites
going out into the desert to
worship God, Pharaoh refused
the request and then had the
overseers beat the Israelites.
They also would no longer provide straw for the brick making. Then all the plagues came.
Just like with the Israelites,
we must remember that God's
grace will sustain us and the
storm will pass. He will bring
us thru.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon "Don't Miss What
Really Counts". When Mary
was pregnant with Jesus, she
and Joseph had to travel to
Bethlehem due to the census.
They had to be counted. But
when the creator of the earth
stepped down to earth, his
creation missed it. He wasn't
"counted", he wasn't recognized in the census. Even tho
Jesus was God, he took off his
glory and was born as a baby.
He came down to the world he
created, and they still rejected
him. Instead of worshipping
him, they killed him. He was
unjustly condemned. Most
people missed his coming, but
later recognized who he was.
What about you? Do you write
off Jesus, or do you recognize
him for who he is, our all powerful amazing God? Without
believing in him we too will
not be counted as citizens, citizens of Heaven. Make sure you
are registered for the census of
eternal life. Hear this and all of
our sermons on our Facebook

Healthy aging goes beyond eating right, exercise
MANHATTAN, Kan. Most people know that exercising regularly and eating healthfully is directly connected to aging well, and
Kansas State University aging
specialist Erin Yelland certainly
agrees.
But, she says, those two factors
alone are not enough.
Speaking on the factors that
influence healthy aging, Yelland
said:
Environment. Air and water
quality, housing and transit are
included in this category. Do
you live in an environment where
there is clean air, or do you live
near a factory? Yelland asked.
Or, do you have clean water with
fluoride in it, or do you live in
Flint, Michigan, a city that since
2014 has struggled with high levels of lead in drinking water.
A safe home free from asbestos or other hazards and access
to transportation are also important to good health.
Geographic location. Urban,
suburban and rural communities each have their challenges.
Neighborhoods in which younger
residents feel unsafe to walk to
school are stressful. It can affect
your brain development, and
obviously it can be dangerous,
Yelland said.
Rural areas may not feel the
pressure of unsafe neighborhoods, but can struggle with
access to transportation, food,
internet and medical care.
Education. First of all, Yelland
said, do you have parents who
read to you and support you positively from a young age? Older
children who work to support the
family or raise siblings also are at
a disadvantage. There are a lot
of questions that go into whether you are able to attain a high
school diploma, let alone go on to
trade school or a four-year university.
Education also affects brain
composition for the rest of ones
life. We see that certain aspects
of the brain are smaller in people
who have higher levels of stress
and lower levels of education. The
more educated you are, the more
likely you are to live a longer and
healthier life.

Anderson County High School Central Heights High School Crest High School
2020-21 WINTER SPORTS
Bulldogs looking
to improve on last
seasons record
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – In the inaugural season on the sideline for
Anderson County head coach
Dan Ray, the struggles were
expected as the team was
replacing numerous multiyear starters that were fresh
off a solid 4 year run.
The Bulldogs finished the
season 3-19, including losing
their last 11 games of the year.
Coach Ray expects it to be
another step towards turning
things around.
Wellsville will be tough as
they return basically everyone
and Louisburg will be one of
the toughest contests of the
season as well.
Part of navigating the season will just involve staying
healthy.
First and foremost we need
to stay healthy and avoid quarantine. Every quarantine you
lose 10-14 days of practice and
competition, Coach Ray said.
After losing 10 games by 6
or less last season, Coach Ray
knows little things can make a
huge difference.
We need to improve our
free throw shooting. As a
team, Id like us to be somewhere near 70%.
We have a lot of height.
The guys always play hard
and play solid defense, Ray
added. If we can take good
shots, limit turnovers and
knock down more free throws,
I think itll lead to winning
some of those close games.

eye trip to state
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Anderson County
came up one win shy of a state
appearance last season and
with as much experience as
they return anything less than
that would be a disappointment.
On paper this Bulldog squad
should be even stronger than
last seasons 17-6 team that finished 2nd in the league and
finished as a sub-state runner
up.
Despite the loss of Maya
Corley and Autumn Ewert,
the senior laden team has high
hopes.
Mayas hustle, determination and worth ethic will be
greatly missed. Autumn was
injured early last year so unfortunately she didnt get to participate most of the year, 3rd
year coach Amy Disbrow said.
Win league and win substate, Disbrow said simply
when asked her goals for the
season.
Our schedule is really tough
this year early. We opened
with Baldwin and Louisburg
who have traditionally had
very good programs. Louisburg
was ranked #8 in 4A when we
played them. Those are two of
our toughest games all year,
and we open with them back
to back. We will have some
other tough games through the
year, but have started league
2-0 with wins against Iola and
Osawatomie. Osawatomie has
two transfers from Blue Valley
that make them much stronger
this year and was a good league
win for us. The league overall
graduated quite a few last year.
We are definitely in the running to win the league, but we
have to stay focused one game
at a time, Disbrow added.
The two-headed monster
of Rayna Jasper, senior point
guard, and Cali Foltz, senior
forward, will lead the Bulldogs.
This will be Jaspers 3rd
year on varsity.
She has developed her ball
handling and her competitive-
ness is quite fierce. She has
continued to develop her outside game and her penetration
is unstoppable. Her dedication
to the game has made her the
player that she is today, Coach
Disbrow said.
This will be Foltzs 4th year
on varsity.
Calis competitiveness and
drive are contagious. She has
really grown as a leader in the
last year. Cali has developed
a unique combination of physicality and athleticism that is
a fantastic combination at forward, Disbrow added.
Disbrow gave some feedback
on all the varsity players.
At 6 tall, senior Katie
Schmit is a great asset to our
team. She has a smoothness
about her game that is so much
fun to see in a post player.
The speed of Makenzie
Kueser makes her hard to
guard off the dribble. She is
aggressive on defense and has
been working this year on
developing her outside game.
Disbrow likes the early signs
of senior Kameron Simpson as
well as she knocked down 3
out of 4 three-pointers to open
league play against Iola.
Kameron is a true shooting
guard and has developed her
ball handling. She will be a
great offensive contributor this
year.
Marah Lutz is a versatile
player. She plays both guard
and forward.
Marah has a great attitude
and continues to push herself
every day. She has good height
and can shoot from the outside.
Another pair of seniors,
Hailey Gillespie and Madolyn
Honn, are great teammates,
work hard and have nice shots.
There is also a pair of freshmen that will get some quality
playing time.
Caitlyn Foltz and Kylie
Disbrow add height and athleticism to the lineup.
They will be fun as the
season progresses, Disbrow
added.

Bulldog wrestling
participants down,
competitions limited
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The sport that
seems to have taken the largest hit due to the pandemic,
at least locally, is wrestling.
Anderson County Bulldog head
coach Jeremy McAdam, who is
in his 6th season leading the
team, said due to the nature of
the season many athletes that
were debating on joining the
team decided not to.
We have about half the normal number of wrestlers this
year than what we are accustomed to. Kids that were on the
fence about wrestling didnt
come out, Coach McAdam
said. The kids that did come
out have all wrestled before
and are willing to get better.
The Bulldogs lost two key
seniors in Dallas Higginbotham
and Ryland Wright but do have
a handful of top returners.
They are Brayden Hermreck
(113), John Wright (145),
Trinton Guernsey (138), Gabe
Clawson (160), Carter Sommer
(132), Ashton Miller (152) and
Tyler Denny (170). They all lettered a year ago.
In addition to the returning lettermen, other wrestlers
that will be relied on heavily
will be: AJ Schaffer (120) and
Martin Wright (126).
Despite the limited numbers, it may make winning
team awards difficult but it
doesnt mean that individual
results will suffer.
We only have 9 of the 14
weight classes filled in varsity
which makes it tough to win
duals. We give up 30 points
with the open spots, McAdam
stated.
Despite this, the AC grapplers have still won half of
their duals so far this season.
This has made Coach
McAdam pleased early on, We
dont have much but what we
do have is solid.
We had a
good year last
year but suffered
some injuries
toward the end
of the season,
McAdam stated.

Top scorer returns
for Vikings, also
tons of youth
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – It will be a
good mixture of upperclassmen mixed in with youth as
the Central Heights Vikings
boys continue to build the
culture 5th year head coach
Tyler Oestreicher envisions
of his squad.
Last year the Vikings
were 8-13 and from that team
they lost several seniors and
return very few players with
varsity experience.
Returning starters that
will be relied on heavily are
junior point guard Jarod
Crawford and senior center
Brady Burson.
Crawford led the Vikings
in scoring last year averaging 12 points per game.
Crawford added 5 rebounds,
5 assists and 2 steals while
knocking down 39% of his
three-pointers and 51% of
his field goals from inside
the arc.
Burson was 5th on the
team in scoring, 6.2 points
per game, and was second
on the team averaging 7.6
rebounds per contest.
Joining them is key
returner
guard/forward
Hunter Bones.
Outside of them, the top
newcomers are sophomores
Connor Peel, Luke Burkdoll,
Max Cannady, Luke Brown
and freshman Ethan Rowan.
I look for our team to
be very young and exciting
this year. We are going to
be very intense in our defensive front and aggressive
on the offensive end. We
have a solid group of seniors
that are great leaders and
have helped build our culture in the right direction.
We lost several seniors from
last year and will have a
few with some little varsity experience which will be
challenging at first. I think
we will overcome these
challenges early and have
a great stretch this season.
We always look to get better
each year and hope to build
from each game, Coach
Oestreicher said.

Lady Vikings to lean on
experienced returners
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – Last season the
Central Heights Lady Vikings
heavily relied on a handful of
sophomores and a freshman en
route to a 4-16 season.
Gone is their leading scorer
from last year but they return 5
of their top 6 scorers from last
season.
Head Coach Doug North will
be in his 5th year on the sidelines for the Vikings, but is a 16
year head coaching veteran.
Junior Taryn Compton
scored just under 7 points
per game last year to lead the
returners.
Other top returners are
Mary Roehl, Lily Meyer,
Cameron Peel and Cheyenne
Higbie.
Injuries played a key role
last year. Roehl was injured
in early January and didnt
return. She averaged 6 points
per game before a concussion
cut her season short.
Peel missed nearly half the
season last year and Higbie
missed 7 games, both due to
injuries.
We only have ten players
on the squad, six of them saw
varsity playing time last year.
Depth will be an issue. Staying
healthy and staying out of foul
trouble will be paramount for
us this season, head coach
North stated.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 22, 2020
Crest coach expects slow
start but finish strong
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – As schools across
the state have all struggled
dealing with an unusual season, the Crest Lancers were
setback even more as their
football team advanced well
into the tournament causing a delay to the start of
practice and then promptly a number of quarantines
limited their squad to just 3
days of practice before kicking off the campaign.
But the Lancers have an
experienced head coach in
Travis Hermreck that, without a doubt, has learned to
deal with different distractions. Hermreck will have
one of his greatest tests by
dealing with COVID while
getting his team in game
form. After 23 years of
coaching and 15 seasons
at Crest, it is a challenge
Hermreck will understand
how to handle.
We missed most of the
first week of practice so the
athletes could heal after
an extended football season then we were hit with
quarantines due to COVID,
which interrupted most the
second week of practice,
coach Hermreck stated.
Hermreck went on to say,
Weve been thrown some
adversity right off the bat,
however, one of our teams
strengths is toughness and
perseverance.
As usual the Lancers traveled to Humboldt early in
the season to play some very
challenging games.
We will be tested in as we
play a tough early schedule
while trying to play catch up
at the same time, Hermreck
added. We may develop a
little slower as a team than
we normally would be accustomed to, but if the boys
keep their heads up and stay
tough, we will eventually be
a pretty decent team.
To illustrate some of the
toughness of their schedule,
in addition to the Humboldt
tournament, the Lancers
are playing in a mid-season
tournament with Anderson
County, Iola, Cherryvale and
Humboldt. They also have
Central Heights on their
schedule and a game against
state-ranked Madison.
Helping get the team back
on track with will be returning honorable mention allleaguers Kobey Miller and
Tyson Hermreck.
Joining them will be
senior Jacquez Coleman,
juniors Keaton Davis and
Ethan Prasko and sophomores Stetson Setter and
Ethan Godderz.
Our main goal is to get
through everything and still
have a 20 game season,
Hermreck said. We always
want to compete and win,
but this year is a reminder
of how privileged we are to
get to compete in high school
athletics. There are some
kids who graduated last year
who didnt get the opportunity to finish the season (due
to KSHSAA shutting down
the state tournament due to
the pandemic). We are blessed for the opportunity.

Lady Lancers looking
to build on last season
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – After a slow start,
the Crest Lady Lancers finished last season 11-11 and
they hope they can build on
that success again this season.
Crest started the season
1-7 before going 10-4 over
their last 14 games.
Head coach Megan Mason
is in her 4th season leading the Lancers and is 27-36
overall.
Mason knows their will be
many tough games on their
schedule but feels St. Paul
and Olpe are among the best.
Crest returns 4 of their 5
starters from a season ago.
Their top returner, senior
Aubree Holloran, averaged 11 points per game, 10
rebounds, 6 assists and 3
steals last year.
Helping her is junior
Lindsey Godderz. Godderz
scored 9 points, 3 rebounds, 3
assists and 3 steals per game.
Coach Mason is looking
forward to contribution from
freshman Kayla Hermreck
as well.
Kayla is an aggressive
player. In middle school she
dominated the boards and
could shoot anywhere on the
court. I believe she will be
a huge addition to the team
this year, Mason stated.

Breaking Tradition
Jackie Mundt, Pratt County
farmer and rancher
This past year has been a
hard one. Though we are close
to the renewed hopes of a new
year, we still face what could
be the hardest days of 2020 for
some.
No matter what you are
celebrating this season
Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza,
Festivus most plans have likely been altered. Some people
have been lucky to experience
only minor inconveniences or
shifts, while others are facing
a total breakdown of holiday
celebrations and family traditions.
My heart goes out to people
who are struggling with this
change. I was once just like
you.
When I was 12 years old, my
oldest brother enlisted in the
Navy and left for basic training near Chicago just before
Thanksgiving. Since the base
was only a five-hour drive from
home, our family was able to
participate in a Christmas
Adopt-a-Sailor program to
spend the day with him.
Looking back, I had a lot
of pre-teen anxiety about the
effects this had on our holiday
celebration and family traditions. It was the first time we
ever changed our family routine, and I was convinced the
changes were going to ruin
Christmas. We had to shorten
our visits with extended family
on Christmas Eve so we could
get a few hours of sleep before
our 3 a.m. departure. We would
not be opening presents around
the tree on Christmas morning.
It all just felt wrong.
Our Christmas in downtown
Chicago ended up being a great
adventure. The city was like a
ghost town. The only restaurant open was a two-story
McDonalds, and my siblings
and I were so proud to rack up
a $30 total, which makes me
laugh now as it would be a bargain for a family of six today.
We visited an equally deserted
Navy Pier where our entertainment became exploring a water
gunboat and chatting with the
on-duty firefighters staffing it.
We ended the day watching the
latest James Bond movie at the
theater since it was the only
thing we could find open.
This odd and presumably
ruined holiday ended up being
one of our most memorable
Christmases. The highlights
of the day were not presents,
which I cannot even remember
if we exchanged, or cool experiences. The greatness of the day
came from the spoiled plans,
laughter and shared experience
of making memories together.
We didnt know it at the time,
but this was the last Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
and extend our best wishes
for a Happy New Year.

10 ways to celebrate New Year's Eve at home
we spent together as a family.
Ten months later, my middle
bother died in a car accident;
my oldest brother was away
from home for six years in
the Navy; and my sister and I
became adults with our own
careers and families to work
around for the holidays.
I will not pretend that my
familys Chicago Christmas
was magical, tradition worthy or even worth repeating.
However, I am grateful for the
time it gave us together and
the way it mentally prepared
me for the hard lesson of lifes
changes.
If you are anxious about
how the holidays will turn out
for your family and friends,
I can share from experience
that a break from tradition
isnt the worst thing that can
happen. Even if you are sad,
mad or disappointed about the
circumstances, you can still
make memories and celebrate
with loved ones. It will give
you something to talk about
in future years when you are
enjoying your holiday celebrations and family traditions.
"Insight" is a weekly column
published by Kansas Farm
Bureau, the state's largest farm
organization whose mission is
to strengthen agriculture and
the lives of Kansans through
advocacy, education and service.
(BPT) – This year, New
Year's Eve celebrations might
not look like they normally
do. But that doesn't mean you
can't still celebrate with family
and friends! In fact, given how
difficult this year has been, a
party might be exactly what is
needed. The good news is that
there are plenty of fun, safe
ways to ring in the new year as
a family right from the comfort
of your own home.
Here are a few ideas for
making your New Year's Eve
celebration a fun event for all:
1) Have a dance party: With
a little planning and spirit, any
room can be transformed into
a dance space. Turn on some
tunes, get the family moving
and raise the roof to ring in
2021. You could even turn off
the lights and use glow sticks
or LED light-up wands for
added ambiance.
2) Set up a photo booth:
Make it a night to remember
by setting up a photo booth
for the kids to enjoy. Pick a
corner, pull out old Halloween
costumes or find some festive
props, and let your kids get
creative. The photos can be
great to share on your social
channels to wish friends a
happy new year.
3) Look through old photos
or home movies: As we head
into a new year, take a trip
down memory lane by looking
With all Best Wishes
for a Merry Christmas
2×2 Natures
and a Very Happy New Year.
through old photos or watching home movies. This is sure
to put a smile on everyone's
face and is a great reminder of
how far they've come this past
year.
4) Create a family time capsule: Ask each family member
to write down their wishes and
dreams for 2021. Then, seal
responses in a box or jar with
other memorable items to open
next New Year's Eve.
5) Board games, anyone?
Get the family energized with
a little competition. Find a few
games everyone can enjoy or
host a tournament of your family favorites. Consider giving
out some fun prizes to keep
everyone engaged.
6) Glam up everyday objects:
Kids love sparkle! Add glitter
to playdough or slime and let
them play. Use number cookie
cutters to spell out 2021.
7) DIY dessert bar: Set up a
dessert bar, and let your kids
create a confetti-themed treat
with some pre-made cupcakes
topped with frosting. Have a
variety of confetti colored toppings, like sprinkles, decorating icing, and colorful Fruity
Pebbles cereal or candy pieces,
on hand for everyone to use to
make their own masterpiece.
8) Have a virtual hangout:
Carve out some time and say
hi to family and friends you
haven't been able to see. This

Touch
Natures Touch

(785) 448-7152
is a great way to keep the kids
occupied and get some face
time with grandparents or others who might be isolated.
9) Watch an early countdown: Nothing says New
Year's Eve like a good countdown. To help families everywhere ring in 2021, Pebbles
cereal is hosting a New Year's
Eve countdown on Dec. 31,
featuring Fred Flintstone and
Barney Rubble from Bedrock
leading into the 9 p.m. EST
hour during "Dick Clark's New
Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan
Seacrest 2021," which airs live
beginning at 8 p.m. EST on
ABC. Tune in and join Fred
and Barney for an epic countdown to 2021, which happens
to be the cereal's 50th birthday
year.
10) Make party favors: Pick
up some party favors at a local
store or better yet, make them
at home. There are plenty of
great tutorials online for fun
party favors the kids will
enjoy. Try your hand at making confetti poppers, a fun take
on a celebration staple. What
better way to ring in the new
year than with some fun party
poppers the kids will enjoy.
Whatever you end up doing,
don't forget to take some time
to reflect on this past year and
celebrate the year to come.

TURLEY…
FROM PAGE 4
However, so was Trump when
he attacked the Russian collusion investigation as part of a
campaign against him.
In fairness to Trump, those
collusion allegations collapsed
early in the investigation
and now all of the top Justice
Department figures from
James Comey to Sally Yates to
Rosenstein say that they would
not have approved the Carter
Page surveillance if they knew
then what they know today
about the flawed basis for the
investigation.
There is comparably far
more evidence supporting the
investigation of Hunter Biden.
Moreover, Biden was clearly referring to this investigation when he said I think its
kind of foul play, . . . it is what
it is.
This follows Bidens repeated assertion that his son did
nothing wrong, a claim that
I and others have long challenged.
Even if you believe Hunter
cannot be charged with a crime,
the criminal code is not the
only measure of wrongdoing.
This was raw influence-peddling on a global scale. It was
wrong in its own right.
What was most embarrassing about the Colbert interview is the careful avoidance
of any specific or substantive
question. It was the ultimate
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln,
how was the play? interview.
Colbert framed the investigation in strictly political terms and how it affects
Biden as a father and candidate. Moreover, this is not just
about Hunter Biden. It is also
about the president-elect Biden
and whether he lied about his
knowledge of the dealings
and whether he knew about
an influence-peddling scheme
using his position. Either
witnesses like former Hunter
Biden business associate Tony
Bobulinski are lying or Joe
Biden is lying.
Bobulinski has given his
allegations to the FBI under
threat of prosecution. Biden
has never uttered a word about
Bobulinski.
There was not a single question from Colbert on Thursday
about how emails and witnesses, if true, would reveal that
Biden has knowingly and
repeatedly lied. To date, he has
denied any knowledge of the
sons business dealings.
Hunter Biden himself contradicted his father on that
point but that was not enough
to ask Joe Biden about his past
denials.
Likewise, Bobulinski, (who
Hunter Biden showers with
praise in the emails related
to SinoHawk Holdings) contradicts Joe Biden in detailed
accounts for their discussions
of the dealings. Not a single
question.
Email exchanges repeatedly reference Joe Biden while
telling people not to use his
name in writing. Not a single
question.
J oe Biden and Jill Biden were
listed as office mates with one
of the Chinese figures with a
need for their own keys to the
office. No question.
Hunter Biden is shown in
emails conversing about loans
and dealings with the entire
Biden family. Not a single
question.
Instead, the breaking news
from Thursdays interview is
that Biden is proud of his son
Hunter.
Now that I think about it, the
selection of a late-night comedian for this interview was the
perfect choice.

Christmas was just the
beginning of the journey
In 1 Timothy 1:15-16 the
Apostle Paul makes the following statement. Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves
full acceptance: Christ Jesus
came into the world to save
sinners – of whom I am the
worst. But for that very reason
I was shown mercy so that in
me, the worst of sinners, Christ
Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for
those who would believe in him
and receive eternal life. Paul
didnt realize how far he was
from God until he met Jesus on
the Damascus Road on the way
to persecute Christians.(Acts 9)
The further a person is from
God the more we feel pretty
good about ourselves. As we
compare our lives to others it
is easy for self-righteousness to
take root.
The Pharisees were a good
example of this as they considered themselves the chosen ones of God because they
were descendants of Abraham.
Numerous times they pointed this out to Jesus saying,
Abraham is our father. They
held strictly to the law and
therefore were self-righteous
because their religion was
based on comparing themselves
to the poorer Jews and gentiles
who were not allowed to participate in the temple worship.
The Pharisees were winners
every time and therefore it was
not difficult for them to feel
pretty good about themselves.
Jesus addressed this by refer-

ring to them as children of the
devil. (John 8:44)
On the other hand the closer a person is to Christ the
more we are aware of our sinfulness. It is in comparing our
life to Christ that we realize
how great he is. Quite different from the approach of the
Pharisees. The Apostle Paul
had been a Pharisee so he knew
the depths of that depravity. When Paul met Christ he
realized how wrong it was to
elevate yourself above others
based on human achievements
or birthright. When we compare our life to Jesus we realize
we can never measure up. And

yet for most of us this is the
very measuring tool we use to
make ourselves feel good.
Celebrating the birth of
Jesus at Christmas is one of the
most important celebrations on
the Christian calendar. What
we must understand from this
event is Jesus was born to save
us from our sins. Jesus coming
revealed Gods character and
love, his compassion and mercy
for the sick and hurting and
those in need of ministry. It
also revealed in Jesus life how
God wants us to live. The angel
told the shepherds, I bring you
good news of great joy that will
be for all the people. At the
