THE SENTINEL
TOPEKA Kansas Senate
President Ty Masterson and
House Speaker Dan Hawkins
indicate Governor Laura
Kellys latest effort to secure
Medicaid expansion is dead
on arrival when introduced
next year in the legislature.
At a roundtable discussion
on child care in Emporia, the
governor paired Medicaid
expansion with alleviating
the shortage of child care
workers in the state:
Parents rely on affordable,
quality child care to participate in the workforce and contribute to our economy. Yet
right now, far too many of our
child care centers are struggling to find the workers they
need to keep their doors open,
as workers leave the industry
or even the state because they
dont have health insurance.
We must expand Medicaid
to extend health insurance
to more working Kansans,
so child care providers can
recruit and retain workers
and create more options for
Kansas families.
Senator Masterson criticized the proposal as an effort
to expand the welfare state:
Cloaked in a fake work
requirement and a tax
scheme, the governors proposal to expand the welfare
state creates more problems
than it solves. It is poor pub-
lic policy to push able-bodied
adults off of private insurance
and onto a government program that was intended for
the truly vulnerable. While
we all agree that health care
is too expensive, its cost is
largely driven by government
and so adding more government is not a solution.
Instead of more government, Kansans need and
deserve more personal choice
and control. They need more
options, with more competition and price transparency, and less hassle through
reforms that help people
obtain quality private health
coverage, providing superior
health outcomes and more
timely access to care.
Speaker Hawkins derided
the governors offer of a work
requirement to secure the
benefit:
While I appreciate the
governors newly-found support for work requirements
for welfare benefits, this is
nothing more than smoke and
mirrors because Governor
Kelly most surely knows that
the Biden Administration has
not approved any Medicaid
work requirement and proactively revoked every single
work requirement approved
previously.

make false promises, House

The Anderson County Review recently added a historical exhibit to
its main lobby with the acquisition of an 1890s-era Washington style
hand press. The 2,100 pound piece of machinery and similar designs
were a staple of the printing industry from the mid-1850s through the
early 1900s. A rare find with nearly all its components intact, it was
acquired from a Chicago-area auction house and required tow trucks
to load and unload and is currently undergoing restoration. The helpful
installation and re-assembly crew included, from left: Jeff Chandler of

Chips, money, politics topped stories in 23
Local residents dealt with gas
prices, inflation and politics as
hopes for growth sidled in
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT While Anderson County residents tried to find ways to outrun nagging
inflation, high gasoline prices and escalating property taxes that punched at their
household finances last year and would
continue through most of 2023, local residents got some good news in some developing opportunities that gave a little hope
to an otherwise gray economic landscape.
Economic development, chip & houses
The year started off with some pretty
good news for Eastern Kansas. News in
the Fall of 2022 that Panasonic had broken
ground in DeSoto on a lithium battery plant
that will employ as many as 4,000 workers
was followed in February by announcements by EMP Shield that it would build a
$1.9 billion semiconductor plant in Coffey
County to employ some 1,200 workers a
story that came shortly after word of a
planned Integra Technologies chip plant
in Wichita similar to the Coffey County
plan.
Suddenly, lots of jobs seemed to be heading to within driving distance of Anderson
County. But planners in the region saw
a different problem most surrounding
counties in East Central Kansas just didnt
have the available, affordable housing to
meet the needs of an influx of workers
that would follow those jobs. After pushback from the Garnett Housing Authority
which was reticent to execute a housing survey of the area, Garnett officials
pushed ahead with a study and made two
new development-oriented appointments
to the citys housing board.
The housing conundrum locally is
affected by national factors as well. Few
moderately-priced homes have been built
in Garnett over the last few decades, mean-

The Bike Across Kansas event made a big splash in Garnett in 2023 and finished off with a
well-attended recognition program on the Anderson County Courthouse courtyard.
ing supply of housing is low. A conventional plan to build more senior housing
options, in hopes those present homeowners would sell their homes to move to more
hassle-free abodes and bring their present
homes onto the market could take years to
come together.
As expected, the study results reviewed
in April pointed out the lack of housing
supply but made suggestions to rectify it
with development options like refurbishing delinquent structures and promoting
construction on vacant home lots in town.
As 2023 waned, some local projects were
beginning to take root in the area with
developers hoping to capitalize on regional
growth.
But not all changes were good ones. The
replacement of the city/county economic
development director boiled into a personality conflict between outgoing director
Julie Turnipseed and newly-hired Sherry
Harrison, and an employment liability
claim from Harrison against the city as
the year ended. Though a black eye to
the city, the tiff illuminated a city/county development organization which has
been too focused on bureaucracy, retention and administration with too little
attention paid to recruitment toward a
goal of expanding the countys tax base a
decades-long issue thats put homeowners
and farmers more in the tax collectors
crosshairs.
Money, one way or the other
That revelation about the local tax base
pointed out a dynamic thats been growing
in the county for decades and one much in
the mind of those who pay property tax. As
the countys industrial base declined, the
property tax burden that funds city, county and school operations shifted more and
more onto the back of homeowners and
farmers whose assets by default replaced
the industries the county has lost over the
years.
That impact was compounded in the
years post-Covid, when inflation fired by
federal government spending drove prices
higher for governments as well as family
budgets, and market drivers pushed up the
values of homes which was reflected in

HAYNES
FEBRUARY 6, 1938 – DECEMBER 17, 2023
Garland Haynes, age 85, of
Garnett, Kansas, passed away
on Sunday, December 17, 2023,
at The Mapleton Assisted
Living
in
Andover,
Kansas.
He
was
born
on
February
6, 1938, in
Garnett,
Kansas, the
son of James
Haynes
Alfred and
Vivian
M.
(Dart) Haynes.
Garland attended school
in Garnett and graduated
with the class of 1956. After
high school he went directly
into the Navy and became an
Aviation mechanic and was a
petty officer 3rd class. Garland
served four years with fighter
squadron 33. He was aboard
the USS Intrepid and the USS
Independence. After being honorably discharged he returned
to Garnett and worked for
Taylor Forge for two years
before being employed for TWA
as an aviation mechanic for
three years. In 1971, he joined
the Boilermakers local #83 in
Kansas City, Missouri, retiring in 1999. After retirement,
he took a job at the Garnett
Airport as Airport Manager
from
2003-2009.
Garland
acquired multiple degrees in
his lifetime.
Garland and Charlotte
Thompson were childhood
friends that turned into highschool sweethearts. When he
returned for Christmas leave
from the service he asked
Charlotte to marry him and
they were united in marriage
on January 7, 1957 in Garnett,
Kansas. This union was blessed with three daughters.
Garland enjoyed building
airplanes, he had a Barracuda
kit airplane that he started
building in 1980 and radio
controlled airplanes. Creating
things was a passion of his,
including three items he had
patents on. Garland received
his pilot license in 1971 and had
a great love of flying. Listening
to bluegrass music and traveling to Bluegrass festivals in
Kentucky was a highlight of his
fall days. After attending the
festivals it sparked an interest in Garland to learn how to
play the banjo, which led to
taking lessons. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge in
Garnett, Kansas, the Scottish
Rite, Fort Scott, Kansas, and
the Mirza Shrine, Pittsburg,
Kansas. He also was a member of the Jaycees in Garnett,
Kansas. Garland held a love
for cars and was a member of
the Garnett Lake Cruisers. He
owned a 1957 Chevy that was a
project that he tinkered on in
his spare time, along with in

their tax valuations. After laying a $1 million property tax
increase on property owners
last year, county commissioners tapped taxpayers wallets
for an extra $644,000 for the
coming years spending plan
a move that did not escape the
notice of some of those property
owners.
All that said, the Crest USD
479 school district summed up
a consensus on a $5.9 million
school bond issue that levied a new school tax for construction of a new gymnasium
and upgrades to the school
entrance, locker rooms and the
kitchen/cafeteria areas. Even
with the modern tax climate
the turnout on the issue was
just a little more than half that
of the last failed bond attempt
some 20 years ago 729 votes
were cast back then and only
434 this time around. Still the
issue passed decisively with 56
percent approval.
While government had its
hand out, families continued
to deal with inflation that cut
any wage gains that came in
recent years. Economists said
an easing of inflation that
dropped to 4 percent on average gave the first increase of
disposable income to most
households in early summer,
but many of those homes were
also balancing increasing credit card debt brought on over
the past 18 months. Gasoline
prices dropped from all-time
highs over $4 a gallon locally
in June of 2022 and bottomed
a year ago, before beginning a
steady rise through September
2023. The fall brought a decline
in gas prices as demand slowed
due to the softening economy,
but the costs to fill a gas tank
for the large percentage of local
commuter work force remains
top of mind.
All politics is local
With the illustration of
national economic policy a
constant drain on the wallets
of local residents, the issue of
national politics and its local
impact became more an issue
for many county residents.
That fact was no more apparent than in the voting habits
of 3rd District Congresswoman
Sharice Davids, who as Kansas
only Democrat representative
follows a path in stark contrast to the generally conservative electorates in Anderson,
Franklin and Miami counties. Davids political angling
in opposition to the new but
slight Republican majority in
the U.S. House was frequent
through the year, but nowhere
was it more apparent than a
vote directly dealing with $4.8
million in federal funding for
water plant projects in Garnett,
Olathe, DeSoto and other towns
in her district. Davids first
requested the funding for the
projects, then voted against the
actual bill when Republicans
reduced part of the EPAs budget. The bill passed anyway by
a 10 vote margin.
And politics really got local
in Garnett when Mayor Jason
Sheahan drew a bead on the
city recreation department to
rectify what he said were voluminous complaints he received
about its general operation. An
audit report eventually uncovered thousands of dollars in
losses from concession stands
at the ballparks and swimming
pool, and the growing disdain
between Sheahan and rec director Phil Bures spilled out at a
summer city commission meeting that resulted in the resignations of several rec department
staff, eventually including
Bures.
Static over the issue brought
two write-in candidates into the
November race for Sheahans
commission seat, and a warworn Sheahan himself decided
to endorse Nate Wiehl for the
post, which Wiehl eventually
won.
Though there were plenty
of scuffles and skinned elbows,
2023s challenges all came
about with a hint of hope in the
making for 2024.

The legend of
the evergreen tree
Christmas often creates
mixed emotions for us. We
wonder what is the essence
of the season? Is it buying,
cooking or entertaining? If
we are searching for the true
meaning of Christmas perhaps
the Legend of the Evergreen
Tree will prop us up and
reveal it for us. It is a story of
compassion, love and care. I
can only summarize the story
and I recommend it to your
reading.
The story recounts the experiences of a small bird who
breaks its wing and falls into
a strange forest. Unable to
take care of itself the bird asks
the trees of the forest for help.
It was of no use as the trees
were not kind at all. The birch
was vain and proud over its
beauty. It refused to help saying it had to take care of the
birds of that forest first. The
oak tree refused because it was
scared the bird would overstay
and eat up all its acorns in
the spring. The willow just
refused to help any bird. The
bird lost hope and was distressed. Trying it still could
not fly. The spruce tree when
it found out offered the little
bird the thickest and warmest
branch of all. The pine tree
seeing this offered protection
to the tree and the bird by protecting them from the North
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
Wind. Seeing this the juniper tree came to the birds aid
offering its berries for the bird
to eat. In due season the wing
healed and the bird was ready
to fly back to its friends.
The Frost King was in
charge of all the trees so it commanded the North Wind not to
touch a single leaf on the spruce
pine and juniper. However the
North Wind plucked the green
leaves of the other trees. It is
for this reason the pine, spruce
and juniper are always green
and thus called evergreen.
Hopefully this story will help
us to understand the importance of compassion, love and
care at all times. The essence
of Christmas is we should be
ready and available with a
giving heart and enjoy sharing what we have with others. What is required to do
this? Compassion, love and
care. These selfless qualities
will make you a better person
and keep you happy always.
With appreciation for your
business and with warmest wishes
for a Happy Holiday Season and
prosperous New Year.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 26, 2023
As Colorado judges usurp the Constitution,
Trumps ballot ban is all about the theatrics
The Colorado Supreme Court ruled last week
that former President Donald Trump is ineligible for the office of the presidency and can
therefore be removed from the states primary
ballot as the GOP
candidate and as a
write-in.

the consequences
that are sure to
follow. Their only
goal was to send a statement and send a statement they have.
The legal reasoning behind the Colorado
Supreme Courts decision is spurious at best
and sure to be thrown out by the Supreme Court
upon appeal. To declare Trump disqualified,
the judges had to decide that he was guilty of
insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, a crime for which
he has never even been charged. In other words,
the state court is acting as the attorney, jurist,
and judge for a federal case that has never been
brought, based on an event that took place thousands of miles away from its jurisdiction. There
is a reason no other judicial circuit, even those
as heavily liberal as Colorados, has allowed this
case to stand: It requires a total upending of the
way our judicial system works.
The decision is a political disaster as well.
For starters, the Colorado Supreme Court is
not going to stop Trump from winning the GOP
nomination or the general election by banning
him from the states ballot since Colorado is a
deeply blue state that Trump realistically would
never win anyway. If anything, the court has
guaranteed Trump victory in the primary and
even helped him edge out President Joe Biden in
the general. If the past four indictments against
Trump prove anything, its that voters do not
appreciate being told they cannot support or
vote for someone the political establishment has
deemed unworthy.
But again, the Colorado Supreme Court did
not release this decision expecting it to with-

clear that the leftist efforts to punish Trump
will not stop with the 44 federal charges, 47 state
charges, and two civil cases against him. Its a
statement nothing more, nothing less.

problems with the courts ruling is that it has no

The
Left might have
a particular hatred for the former president, but
Republicans can be sure that whoever comes
after him will be treated the same way. These
are the new rules, and the GOP can either face
this reality head-on with a willingness to fight
or accept its status as the permanent minority
party.

Colorado justices forget due
process in Trump ballot ban
From the New York Post
In yet another dimwitted lefty gift to Donald
Trump, four Democrats on Colorados Supreme
Court just bounced him from the states ballot in
next years presidential primary.
Its transparently absurd and certain to be
reversed by the US Supreme Court, since its
based on legal reasoning that makes sense
only in the fevered precincts of the very-online
left.

No, they didnt quite say that out loud: They
cited Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, disqualifying from office anyone who swore to uphold

More transparancey needed about Kansas court hack
The justices of the Kansas Supreme Court
now say they hope to restore most functions of
the states court computer system, shut down
for nearly two months by an evil, criminal
cyberattack, by the end of this month.
The system serves 104 of the states 105
counties. Johnson, the largest by population,
has its own computer system, but is set to join
the state network next year. The computer
network handles nearly everything for the
state courts, from scheduling to filings to case
records and public access.
This is good news for the courts and the
public, and it goes without saying that we all
should breath a sigh of relief that the damage
wasnt worse,
or harder to fix.

two months.
Hackers usually demand payment, but
while thats been mentioned by the courts,
theres no indications the state paid anyone.
The justices said they were proud to have
upheld the rule of law.
And not playing the criminals game can
make recovery more difficult and last longer.
It is, we think, by far the better course than
the one often taken by some private businesses bent on curbing costs and damage. So, if
that is the case, we applaud the justices.
We think, however, that the courts have
been a little disingenuous in avoiding reference to the criminal nature of this attack
for as long as they did. The attack was pretty
obviously intentional from the start; entire
computer systems seldom just go poof and
stop working on their own.
Nonetheless, the attack, which has been
a major and costly inconvenience to all
involved, from lawyers and litigants to courts
and court workers, will have been cleared up
in fairly rapid fashion if indeed it is done this
month. Other than a bit more openness on
the part of the courts, we think it has been
well-handled so far.
We are certain as well that the justices
will expect their experts to make certain that
something like this never happens again. No
one can guarantee that, but some thought
should be given to compartmentalizing and
safeguarding multiple backups several times
each day.
And of course, we hope the FBI, KBI and
whoever else is investigating (perhaps the
U.S. intelligence agencies) will track down the
foreign hackers and make things difficult for
them.
Information gathered from the case might
well point out changes needed to protect other
government and business software, from
banks to military systems to state and federal
agencies, power grids and utilities.
And that could make the cost of this crime
which might run in the millions a lot more
bearable.

Democrats attaining goal to expand foreign population
Do you remember the big national debate
on whether the United States would adopt a
policy to make the foreign share of the population the highest its ever been?
Neither do I. For the simple reason, of
course, that there wasnt one.
That doesnt mean that the policy wasnt
adopted, through inertia and the Biden
administrations imposition of a de facto open
border for a large swath of asylum-seekers.
An analysis of Census data by Steve
Camarota and his colleagues at the Center
for Immigration Studies has found that a 4.5
million net increase in immigrants since Joe
Biden took office has boosted the share of the
foreign born to 15% , the highest ever recorded.
You know all the black-and-white photos
of immigrants coming to Ellis Island, the lore
about names being changed upon arrival,
your huddled masses yearning to be free?
We are currently higher than that. Were
eclipsing the Great Wave of Immigration with
an even greater wave. We hit 14.8 in 1890 and
14.7 in 1910, in what were, until now, the most
historic decades for immigration.
Just last month, the Census Bureau was
projecting the foreign-born share of the population wouldnt hit 15% until in 2033. Now,
we could keep going up from here. If the
immigrant population continues to grow,
Camarota writes, it will set new numerical
and percentage records every year going forward.
A straight-line projection shows the share
of foreign-born increasing to 15.5 by the end of
Bidens term, and to an astonishing 17.3% by
the end of a potential second term.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
This is not the normal course of business.
According to Camarota, the foreign-born population has grown on average by 137,000 a
month since the beginning of Bidens term,
higher than Donald Trumps pre-COVID-19
42,000 and Barack Obamas 68,000.
What accounts for this? Some of it is a
COVID-19 bounce-back in legal immigration.
But thats not responsible for the lions share
of the story. The Biden administration has
boosted the foreign-born share of the population well above the pre-COVID-19 trend line.
It has done it by ignoring the law and greasing the skids for new arrivals even if they have
no right to be here. Of the total net 4.5 million
increase of immigrants on Bidens watch, 2.5
million of that is illegal immigrants. Most of
that illegal number is solely a function of discretion and the administrations opposition to
excluding bogus asylum-seekers.
The Biden administrations border policy
has obviously been the subject of debate,
including criticism from his own party. The
overall number of immigrants, though, is
rarely mentioned, and even treated as an
almost illegitimate topic for public consideration.
This makes no sense. The foreign-born
share of the population has consequences for
schooling, welfare, wages, politics and the
broader culture. It is at least as important, if
not more so, than trade policy, Ukraine aid,
the deficit, infrastructure or a whole host of
other issues that are routine fodder for congressional debate and the Sunday shows.
It also should be subject to the approval
of the American people and its representatives just like those other issues. We should
affirmatively decide whether we want the
foreign share of the population to be 15% and
growing, or less than 15% and shrinking, and
the mix of people who are coming –largely
unskilled, or overwhelmingly higher skilled?
Instead, we treat immigration as something that happens to us, like the weather.
(Although progressives now seek to influence
the weather, so maybe this is a dated analogy.)
It isnt. We are making the choices that have
gotten us to this point.
The fact is that immigration has operated
largely under its own power, and under false
pretenses, since the immigration reform of
1965. One reason theres so little discussion of
the underlying issue is that many people simply dont know the historic numbers involved.
In short, theres been no debate on 15%, and
one, shamefully, doesnt seem in the offing.

participation in an insurrection, the court
ruled.
Without even a gesture at due process,
when Trump was never even indicted for
insurrection let alone convicted.
Democracy and the rule of law be damned;
the four judges plainly didnt care.
Inevitably, it has led Republicans to suggest (rhetorically, at least) getting President
Biden barred in other states, since the ruling
holds no limiting principle: Anyone can be
deemed an insurrectionist for actions the
accuser sees as harmful to the country (see
Hunter Biden, the border, etc.).
You dont have to love Trump to see the
dangers here: Its an invitation to a different
kind of civil war.

In addition to licensure,
there are also many state regulations imposed on childcare

LOCAL
BROADCAST…
FROM PAGE 1
tact with one another, and a
partnership was quickly born.
I talked with Tony and he
assured me that if I got to the
booth by 6 p.m., he could train
me with what I needed to know
by the 7 p.m. kickoff, Hills
said. Tony and I broadcast
football games together for five
years at BHS, Hills said. We
also covered several Waverly
football games, including their
two state championship games
from Russell and Newton.
Since those early days, Hills
has continued broadcasting
games and has branched out
to broadcast not only football
but also other sports, including basketball and softball.
Alongside Waverlys two football state championship games,
Hills has broadcast Burlington
state tournament games from
Salina and Hutchinson, along
with Ladycat softball tournament games from Emporia. He
has also broadcast for six other
radio stations when one of their
local teams were playing at the
same venue as Burlington and
they were short on manpower
to cover their team.
Hills has also gotten to work
with multiple people, though
his main broadcasting partner is Dr. Rick Smith, a local
dentist who joined Hills as the
color analyst in 2009.
Several guests have filled
in to cover games while Rick
has been unavailable, Hills
said. I especially enjoyed covering two games with the help
of my son, Austin Hills.
Hills himself has rarely
missed a game since that first
evening under the Friday night
lights in 2003.
I missed two basketball
games and two football games
to attend weddings and funerals, in 20 years, Hills said.
Perhaps the most notable
time Hills missed a game was
in 2020.
The 2020 football season
humbled me from the listeners support I received after
missing nine games due to
COVID and returning for the
final game of the season, Hills
said.
Hills said it is the teams and
athletes themselves that have
drawn him to continue broadcasting since that first game.
Each year, the makeup
of new teams change, Hills
said. I get to see young athletes develop from freshmen to
varsity level during their four
years at BHS.
As the Voice of the Wildcats,
Hills said he especially enjoys
the excitement and encouragement Burlingtons home
crowds provide to their teams.
We arrive ahead of a large
portion of the crowd to set up
our equipment and take the
opportunity to meet and greet
spectators and gather information about their children who
will be playing in that game,
Hills said. We also find out
about friends and family members following the broadcast
on the radio so we can share
a shoutout to them during the
game.
Working together, Hills and
Smith dont only cover home
games. They also hit the road
and travel to away games.
Rick has been my broadcasting and traveling partner
for the past 14 years, Hills
said. We have piloted the
DAWGMOBILE to locations
all over the state. Scheduling
sends the teams on home and
away contests split mostly
50/50 each year, so we spend
many miles and hours on the
road.
The pair have enjoyed meeting people on their travels.
We have enjoyed making
friends with many people at
road venues that we travel to,
Hills said. They have been
great for information about the
talents of their local players
and a handy source for interesting dining choices in their
towns.
Amidst home games and
travels to away games, there
have been special seasons and
special moments. Hills favorite came not long after he first
started broadcasting.
The 2004 undefeated state
basketball team was a special
season for Burlington sports
fans, Hills said. From the
opening tipoff of the season to
the final buzzer of the championship game, you knew the
team would work hard enough
every game to succeed.
Over the years, Hills has
especially enjoyed seeing the
effort put forth by many athletes.
Not every team will accomplish their year long goals, but
I always enjoy seeing the effort
and devotion to teammates
exhibited by individual players, Hills said. Though some
players may possess natural
talent, I look more to individuals who give all their effort to
help their team.
Athletes are not the only
ones who have provided special memories for Hills. Fans
listening to his broadcasts have
also given him memories that
have stayed with him, including one military parent who
left him especially touched.
I once received a thank you
from a father who had been
deployed to Afghanistan with
his National Guard unit who
had listened to his daughters
basketball game on the internet
at 4 a.m. in Afghanistan as she
was playing in the Burlington
Invitational Tournament,
Hills said. It felt good to know
he was able to visualize his
daughter playing from the
description of the game from
Burlington.
Hills said as the Voice of the
Wildcats he accepts the responsibility to provide information
to listeners who are not able to
attend the games. He takes that
responsibility seriously.
Though we support our
local athletes, we also want
to convey to the listeners the
talents and efforts displayed
by both teams, Hills said. A
biased opinion spoken about
any aspects of the game shows
disrespect to participants and
officials.
Hills broadcasts are well-received by both Burlington fans
and people from other communities.
I hear comments from
listeners that have enjoyed
our broadcasts and continue
to listen to games after their
athletes have finished school,
Hills said. People from other
communities who do not have
a local broadcast of their
schools games often compliment us on the service we provide. Our listeners have placed
their trust in us, and we make
the effort to keep a high standard of service.
Hills said his wife, Barb,
has been his biggest supporter
to encourage him to continue
broadcasting. The two co-own
Burlington Auto Supply,
which is the longest continuously operating auto supply
store in Burlington.
Barb works at our business
when I need to leave early for
long road trips and has accompanied us to many venues,
Hills said. She offers advice
on the choice of descriptive
phrases she hears while listening to games.
Now preparing to broadcast
his 1,000th game, Hills believes
he still has all the energy needed for the Voice of the Wildcats,
just as he did for that first football game in 2003.
I feel I still have the excitement and enthusiasm to broadcast each game from the first
game to this 1,000th game,
Hills said. The experiences I
have gained may have guided me to avoid some mistakes
made in the past, but each
game opens opportunities for
the future. Game number 1,000
merely opens the door to the
next game.

BBB: Research shows gift card scam reports rose by 50% over last year
Todays scammers want gift
cards as payment, leaving those
unaware of this tactic vulnerable to schemes designed to
commit fraud. Better Business
Bureau (BBB) research shows
fraud reports to BBB Scam
Tracker involving gift cards as
a form of payment spiked in
the first three quarters of 2023,
up 50% from the same period
the year prior. Scammers have
doubled down on gift cards as
a method to steal money from
consumers especially online
shoppers leading retailers to
implement new fraud prevention solutions in response.
A new BBB study update,
Growth of gift card scams
causes retailers to innovate
solutions, examines patterns
of reports, dives deep into court
documents, reviews financial
losses, and highlights interviews with affected consumers.
The goal is to educate everyone
on the tactics scammers use
with gift cards.
Key findings
Technology, like algorithms
meant to detect fraudulent
behavior, helps retailers stop
scammers in their tracks and
sometimes return money to
customers.
Fraudsters leverage international networks to convince
consumers to hand over gift
cards.
Advance fee loans, government impersonation, phishing
and lottery/sweepstakes top
the list of scam types used most
often to obtain gift cards.
Scammers frequently seek
gift cards from big-box, technology and online stores.
Key statistics reported to
BBB and Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) since 2020
about gift card
payment scams
3,918 BBB Scam Tracker
reports
177,074 reports to the
Federal Trade Commissions
Consumer Sentinel Network
with $690 million in losses
In 2021, BBBs International
Investigations Initiative examined gift card payment scams
in an in-depth study, Gift card
payment scams: BBB reveals
why scammers love gift cards.
Since then, retailers have
identified several methods to
protect consumers, but warn
that it is impossible to stop all
scams as fraudsters continue to
find ways around safeguards.
Richard in Tempe, Arizona,
reported to Scam Tracker he
received a call from someone
claiming to be from Amazon.
There was a suspicious charge
on his account, they said, and
it looked like possible identity
theft. The person claiming to
be from Amazon offered to connect him with someone from
the government. He was asked
to withdraw $10,000 and convert it to gift cards. He sent
several hundred dollars before
realizing everyone involved
were scammers.
A Nebraska womans quest
for a furry companion turned
into a heartbreaking ordeal as
she encountered not one, but
two scams while searching for
a puppy. In both instances, the
scammers requested payments
in gift cards, a red flag that the
woman unfortunately failed to
recognize. On the second occasion, Jill visited the specified,
local address. To her dismay,
upon arriving at the location,
a woman informed her that she
had fallen victim to a scam.
BBB tips to spot a
gift card scam
Be wary of anyone asking
for payment with a gift card,
including government agencies. No legitimate government
organization will ask you to
pay with a gift card.
If you suspect a scam, contact the gift card seller, the
actual business or government organization supposedly
asking for money, and BBB
to ask if you are dealing with
a scammer. To find contact
information, go directly to the
organizations website rather
than search for their customer
service number, which can be
spoofed by scammers.
Keep all information related to your purchase if you are
scammed, because some retailers may require that information for refunds.
If you suspect fraud, act
immediately, contact the gift
card seller or the number on
the back of the card to report it.
Follow advice and report suspected scams to BBB Scam
Tracker and the Federal Trade
Commission.
Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year!
