St. Lukes, BJC target Sheriffs
announce at Thursday
finalized deal January 1 county GOP meeting
New entity will operate two
distinct but related networks
in St. Louis, KC areas
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
KANSAS CITY St. Lukes Health
System drew nearer to its planned
merger with Barnes Jewish Christian
Health Care of St. Louis last week,
with the announcement that the enties
approved a formal partnership agree
ment after engaging a letter of intent
to merge last May.
A press release from St. Lukes said
the merger is expected to be completed
January 1, 2024.
Saint Lukes operates Anderson
Countys county-owned hospital on
a 10-year lease agreement, a sever
al-decade relationship the most recent
of which began when the newly-con
structed Garnett facility opened in
2015. St. Lukes negotiated a similar
lease agreement with Allen County
Regional Medical Center in 2020 and
manages both hospitals under one
adminstrator.
As a combined system of approx
imately $10 billion in revenue with
28 hospitals and hundreds of clinics
and service centers, the statement
said BJC and Saint Lukes will extend
their shared commitment to deliver
high-quality, affordable patient care
to the communities they serve across
Missouri, southern Illinois and eastern
Kansas.
At the time of closing, Saint Lukes
will officially join BJC, and together
operate as a single
integrated health
care organization
that serves two
regions with a dis
tinct brand in each:
BJC HealthCare in
the St. Louis region
and Saint Lukes
in the Kansas
City region. BJC
President and CEO
Richard Liekweg
will continue to
serve as CEO of the integrated health
system. Saint Lukes CEO Melinda
Estes has announced plans to retire at
the end of the year after delaying her
planned 2021 departure to see Saint
Lukes, its patients, and teams through
the pandemic.
Though its not immediately known
what impact the merger will have on
Anderson County Hospital, the move
is part of a general gameplan among
mid-sized healthcare organizations
that bigger is better, according to
industry analysts at Fierce Healthcare.
While engaged as a means of cut
ting costs, combining resources and
expanding market share just like in
other industries, an April story posted
at Fierces website said such mergers
and health system consolidation have
led to increased scrutiny from regula
tors and lawmakers, who have worried
that mergers can harm competition.
The Fierce article said to date, how
ever, efforts to block announced deals
have been limited to situations where
the parties are operating in the same
geographic markets.
Fierce said larger, cross-market
deals like BJC and Saint Lukes have
become more common in the past year,
potentially due to the opportunity to
distribute operational risks with lim
ited regulatory scrutiny, analysts have
noted. Multiple health policy research
ers have warned that these deals are

State courts say theyll be back
online by the end of this month
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Officials in the Kansas judicial sys
tem say they should have the states electronic
court records system back up and running at
months end, after a cyberattack scuttled the
system and sent every county courthouse back
to hard copy paper filing and handling of cases
in October.
The shutdown affected Anderson County as
well, and stopped Internet users all over the
state from accessing online court records.
Spokeswoman for the Kansas Judicial Branch
Lisa Taylor said the state court system tenta
tively plans to restore most information systems
used by district courts in 104 Kansas counties
by the end of the year, including systems used
to process cases and receive electronically filed
documents.
The system was shut down October 12, but the
Judicial Branch acknowledged the failure was
due to a cyber attack only mid November. But
the plans still subject to change, Taylor said in
a press release.
The recovery plan announced today follows
best practices for safely restoring and managing

An aerial photo shows the recently completed spillway work at the far end of the dam at Cedar Valley Reservoir. The
spillway was damaged by torrential rains in 2019, and prior to that was repaired in 2008 after floods in 2007. The base of
the structure was rebuilt and shored up to handle advanced water flow. The city received assistance and funding for the
project from FEMA.
Kansas schools holding record amounts of cash
KDOE figures show how
much unspent money is
left in various school funds
BY DAVE TRABERT
THE KANSAS POLICY INSTITUTE
TOPEKA New data from the
Kansas Department of Education
show school districts collectively
added $68 million to their operat
ing cash reserves in the last school
year, bringing the total to $1.25
billion.
Operating cash reserves exclude
balances in Capital Outlay, Federal,
and Bond & Interest. Funds operate
like checking accounts; the ending
balance increases if more money
goes in than is spent. Taken col
lectively, the increase in operating
cash reserves indicates that school
districts did not spend all of the
state and local tax dollars provided
last year.
Some fund balances,
including
Supplemental
General and Contingency,
have no restrictions. The
balances in some funds, like
At-Risk, Special Education,
and Food Service cannot be
spent on anything else, but
districts can tap into the
money by not transferring
General Fund money to them
and spending down the bal
ance.
Some of the largest
increases include Blue Valley
($9.4 million), Wichita ($9.3
million), Shawnee Mission
($9.2 million), Lawrence ($8
million), Emporia ($3.7 million),
and Salina and Olathe each added
$3.5 million.
Special Education, included in
operating cash reserves,
increased by $8 million
Some superintendents and the
state school board association
have made a big deal about not
getting enough aid for special edu
cation. Yet even the special edu
cation fund grew by more than $12
million. Special Education Co-Op
funds declined by $4 million, leav
ing a net increase of $8 million.
State law calls for the Legislature
to reimburse districts for 92% of
their excess costs after allowing
for federal aid and state aid pro
vided for the regular education of
special education students. The
reported reimbursement percent
ages have been below 92%, but the
calculation does not count all of

MILLER
JUNE 22, 1969 – NOVEMBER 24, 2023
Michael L. Carpenter, age
54, of Garnett, Kansas, passed
away unexpectedly at his home
on Friday,
November
24, 2023.
Michael
was born to
Harold and
Karen (Lierz)
Carpenter on
June 22, 1969,
Carpenter
in
Kansas
City, Kansas.
D u r i n g
his youth years, his parents
moved to Iola, Kansas, where
he attended school and gradu
ated from Iola High. After high
school, he began working as a
dispatcher, which sparked his
passion for law enforcement.
He then went to the Police
Academy and received his cer
tification. Mike dedicated over
twenty years to being a Police
Sergeant, before having to take
early retirement, where dis
patching found him again. He
was a dispatcher for Anderson
County for the last two years of
his life.
During his law enforce
ment career, he met the love
of his life, Marie-Eve St.Pierre,
while she was working as a
bail bondsman. What started
as a professional interaction
developed into a romantic rela
tionship. Shortly after Mike
purchased his first home, they
moved in together and then
a year later he proposed on
Christmas 2013. On October 11,
2014, they were united in mar
riage with a 1940s USO wed
ding theme.
In his spare time, Mike was
a big movie buff, some of his
favorites included WWII and
Godzilla movies. Cooking was
a great passion of his, he loved
trying new recipes often.
One night eight years ago,
Mike was patrolling and got a
call for a stray kitten that was
injured. With his caring heart,
he took the kitten into his care,
and he became the family cat,
which they named George.
Mike dedicated many years
of his life to his community. He
was very respected and trusted
by all that interacted with him.
He will be remembered for his
calmness and compassionate
heart.
Mike was preceded in death
by his parents.
He is survived by his wife
Marie-Eve Carpenter, of the
home; and step-son, Xavier St.
Pierre; along with many other
friends.

How to fix our local EcoDevo mess
Some elements of deep state government
are entrenched all the way down to your local
city hall, and in the end its nearly as choking for
the citizenry there as it is in the federal and state
bureaucracies. Thats at least part of the prob
lem thats led to the kerfuffle in the Garnett/
Anderson County economic development office.
The face-off between the former and justhired economic development heads in recent
weeks may well be a personality conflict or turf
battle or motivated by any of several other con
flicts, but it highlights key deficiencies in the
way we pursue economic development in our
county and why, from a governmental stand
point, were failing at it.
I submit three lightning bolt revelations:
Its the tax base, stupid: Slice and dice the
term economic development any way you
like, but for Anderson County the top priority is
expansion of our property tax base. Our overall
property valuation provides the core of funding
for new streets, sewer lines, electrical infra
structure, road graders, payrolls, etc. the hard
assets of the city and county that provide for our
survival and growth and are very, very expen
sive to build and maintain. And as we see from
the present economy (thanks, Joe Biden), those
costs are frequently if not always on the rise.
That tax base expansion, at least under the
present tax finance system used in Kansas, is
better developed by attracting industry and
taxing its property and assets than by taxing
citizens whose biggest asset is usually their
land and homes. Industries also employ workers
and provide vitality to a town in other ways,
but the primary goal should be hard assets.
Virtual companies where people work from
home dont provide those hard assets our
objective should be attracting traditional, capi
tal-intensive industries just like the ones weve
lost over the years. EcoDevo types have scoffed
at chasing smokestacks for years all the
while small towns lost those industries and their
assets and populations fled closer to the cities
where smokestacks located.
If we dont chase smokestacks, the tax bur
den falls more and more on landowners and
homeowners. Lean too hard on homeowners,
and theyll fly the coop for somewhere else. Past
decades have proven how as Anderson County
lost industries Warners Manufacturing,
United Telephone, Garnett Church Furnishings,
Astro Truck Cappers and others, our population
has slowly and steadily drained away.
If our EcoDevo efforts target isnt tax expan

sion, were kidding ourselves that its really
doing much good over the long haul.
All the losers are doing what were doing: Being
the economic development director of a rural
community is by far the hardest job in all of
local government, because attracting an indus
try to your community is 90 percent luck and 10
percent persistence. The Kansas Department of
Commerce occasionally sends out Request For
Proposals to rural development agencies; the
state bureacracy gets a nibble from an indus
try looking to locate and goes looking for the
best match among its communities. What hap
pens is obvious: Anderson Countys RFP gets
stacked with 104 other county applications, and
we almost always lose. Need proof? How many
manufacturers have you seen open locally in the
last 10 years with assets substantial enough to
really impact our tax base?
We can wait for the RFPs we always lose
out on, or we can go at tax base expansion the
same way companies go after growth by staff
ing a sales force to go out and find business.
Our EcoDevo directors primary job should be

Have the courage to stand up to a misguided
mob pushing policies and values you know to
be harmful.
Monitor what your elected officials at every
level are doing, and hold them accountable.
Join with other people in like-minded orga
nizations to safeguard civil society, individ

Support public-interest nonprofits and law
firms that protect freedom of speech, religion,
and other liberties enshrined in the Bill of
Rights (Alliance Defending Freedom, First

sometimes critical shortages of poll workers,
says Jason Snead, executive director of the

The opportunities to get involved in pre

However fashionable or comforting it used
to be to live above the fray, you can no longer
afford the luxury. Neither can your country
afford your indifference. You have no choice
but to be political, perhaps for the first time in
your life but certainly for the rest of your life.
You must become relentless in the pursuit of
your deeply held beliefs in the public square.

Death of Great Man Theory takes film Napoleon down with it
The figure of Napoleon has long been an
object of fascination, but the new Ridley Scott
biopic makes one wonder why.
The film, perhaps inadvertently, partakes
of the spirit of the times. The so-called Great
Man theory of history — that it is exceptionally
talented men who bend events to their will — is
out of favor. Accordingly, the movie renders
the stereotypical great man, Napoleon, as
doltish and uninteresting.
No man is a hero to his valet, goes the old
saying. But cant he at least be a hero, or a
compelling persona, to the director of a $200
million movie about him?
Apparently not.
Napoleon can be considered a proto-fascist
dictator, or an enlightened reformer, or some
of both, but he
could never be The Great Man theory is now

As the Wall Street Journal critic Kyle
Smith puts it, Mr. Phoenixs Napoleon could

The Great Man theory is now considered
simplistic and even dangerous, and has
about it the stale stench of dead white males.

minutiae, while the largest impersonal force
of all, the climate, occupies an outsized place
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
in the political debate of advanced countries.
We dont have to swoon like the philoso
pher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, who
enthused after catching sight of Napoleon in
Jena about this world-soul, riding out of the
city on reconnaissance.
But the general and emperor demonstrates
that great men matter — not that they are
virtuous or good, or that they can overcome
every obstacle put in their way by themselves
or others, or that large-scale factors dont
count, but that individual leaders take a hand
in shaping events, sometimes decisively.
Would any Macedonian other than
Alexander the Great have toppled the Persian
empire and marched on India? Would any
Frenchman besides Charlemagne have
united much of Europe under his rule and
brought about an intellectual and cultural
renaissance? Would any Russian other than
Peter the Great have modernized the Russian
empire, defeated the Turks and Swedes, and
built St. Petersburg?
How different the 20th century would have
looked without Hitler, Stalin and Mao.
By the same token, only Napoleon — who
rose to power in France only six years after
fleeing his native Corsica with almost noth
ing — would have undertaken his historic
campaign of institution-building in France
and conquest in Europe. Many of his changes
in France proved worthy and enduring, while
his ambitions in Europe were rightly resisted
by other powers, England foremost among
them.
At the end of the day, he was a captain of
war who knew one thing above all — the offen
sive to seek and destroy the enemy army. He
had speed on his side, a feel for topography
and the flow of battle, and innovative tactics.
These enabled him to destroy enemy armies
and pick apart coalitions arrayed against him
for years, as his legend grew.
As always happens, though, his rivals
learned from him, and his military advan
tages slipped away. He lost a long battle of
attrition, in masses of broken men, horses
and weapons. His operational prowess, syn
onymous with great victories at Ulm and
Austerlitz, didnt translate into success in
the ultimate geopolitical war. It all ended in
ashes and exile, twice. Napoleon was unfor
givably careless with the blood and treasure
of France, and that of the rest of Europe that
struggled so mightily to stop him.
Its not a story that should occasion hero
worship, or romantic images like the famous
Jacques-Louis David painting of Napoleon
crossing the Alps. But its not a story devoid
of interest, or featuring a slightly ridiculous
dullard at its center. Hollywood, in a rank
distortion, somehow has made it so.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 5, 2023
After strong start, Bulldogs fall to Iola Crest wallops SCC to open season
GARNETT – Anderson County
couldnt have predicted a bet
ter start to their season in
their home opener against
Iola, jumping out to a 15-0 lead,
before falling in heartbreaking
fashion 43-41.
Iola was held scoreless until
there was just 1:40 remaining
in the first quarter and were
staring at a seemingly daunt
ing 15-0 deficit on the road.
Iola would tally the final 4
points of the first quarter and
cut the deficit down to 15-4.
That would just be the start
of their first half rally. In fact,
after the 15 point deficit, Iola
would go on a 18-3 run to knot
the score at 18.
ACHS appeared to withstand
the rally, scoring the final 5
points of the first half and take
a little of the momentum back
with a 23-18 lead at halftime.
Following intermission it
was a back and forth affair the
rest of the way but the Bulldogs
still didnt trail at any point
during the first 3 quarters.
With the game knotted at
32, senior Preston Kueser was
fouled shooting a half court
three-pointer at the 3rd quarter
buzzer. Kueser missed 2 of 3 to
keep the Bulldogs hanging onto
a slim 33-32 lead heading into
the fourth.
With AC still clinging to a
41-38 lead with under 3 min
utes remaining, Iola got a steal
and was fouled on the ensuing
layup. After Iola converted the
free throw, the two teams were
tied at 41 which was the 4th tie
of the game.
After both teams missed an
opportunity to take the lead,
Iola finally took their first lead
LE ROY – The Crest Lancers
boys team competely over
whelmed Southern Coffey
County in last weeks opener
on the road, winning 80-7.
Crest started fast and didnt
let up until the fourth quar
ter, leading 22-2 after the first
quarter and then went on to
blank the home team in the
second quarter, 21-0, for a 43-2
at intermission.
Crest scored a game high
26 points in the third quarter
for a 69-5 lead heading into the
fourth quarter, in which the
Lancers scored just 11 points
with a heavy dose of reserves
in the game.
A trio of Lancers hit for
double figures in scoring on

Bulldogs started hot in their opener on Friday before Iola mounted a
double digit comeback in a 43-41 loss at home for AC.
of the night with just 30 sec
onds left, 43-41, which would
wind up being the final score.
Obviously the Bulldogs head
coach Daniel Ray is disappoint
ed with the outcome but he also
knows his team is young.
We will have some growing
pains this year as we have only
one starter returning from last
year, Ray stated.
Struggles at the free throw
line cost the Bulldogs as they
connected on just 6 of 16
attempts for (38%).
Brayden Wheat led Anderson
County with 13 points. Noah
Porter had 9, Eli Martin and
Jack Dykes added 7 and Kueser
finished the game with 5.
The Bulldogs picked up the
pace again, scoring 11 com
pared to 7 for Iola to close out
the win.
Both teams struggled with
their shooting all night. ACHS
shot just 9 of 42 (21%) from
2-point range but did knock
down 6 of 12 three-pointers on
the night.
Iola connected on just 5 of 39
attempts inside the arc for 11%
and failed to connect on any of
their 6 three-point attempts.
Caitlyn Foltz led the
Bulldogs with 13 points and
was the only one in double fig
ures. Foltz also pulled down 13
rebounds and had 4 assists.
Addie Fudge chipped in
with 9 points and 6 assists.
Kylie Disbrow was limited to
7 points but did have 11 blocks,
10 rebounds and 3 steals.
Also scoring for the Lady
Bulldogs was Alexis Overstreet
with 5, Brooklyn Kellerman
with 3 and Rilyn Sommer with
2.

He was hired to the post of
county emergency prepared

being elected to the Garnett
City Commission last year.
McClain, a 12-year veteran of
the ACSO who became under
sheriff and the departments
lead investigator, told the gath

in the post but that he believed
some changes were needed in
the department to improve ser
vice and law enforcement in
the county.
Rob

Yutzy
and Gentry McGhee chipped
in with 2 points.
The Lancers had an incredi
ble 35 steals in the game, led by
Hobbs with 8 and Wier with 6.
SCC turned the ball over 42
times in all, compared to just
12 turnovers for the Lancers.
Crest also won the rebound
battle with a 37-14 advantage.
SCC just struggled all night
handling the ball which led to

I was going to wait until
probably February to make an
announcement, Smith said.
But since the other two guys
did I decided Id go ahead and
let people know.
Smith has 14 years in law
enforcement,
previously
with the Elk County Sheriffs
Department and City of
Lyndon. Hes been on the
Anderson County department
for 4 years and previously
worked farming and driving
over-the-road trucks. Hes a
law enforcement canine han
dler as well. He will have to
relocate to Anderson County
and file on the local voter rolls
to qualify for the office.
Sheriff Vern Valentine spent
20 years in military service and
moved into law enforcement
in 2006 before winning three
local terms in the post. He
spoke publicly after his elec
tion in 2020 that the current
term would likely be his last
information which set other
possible candidacies in motion.
I am done, Valentine told
the Review Friday. I have run
three terms, so I will have been
sheriff for 12 years. I believe
there has only been one per
son who has held the Office
of Sheriff in Anderson County
longer than I.
Local GOP members attend
ing the meeting discussed
holding a party forum at some
point before the 2024 election
so party members could learn
more about the candidates and
their positions and plans.
The official filing deadline
for the office is June 1, 2024,
either by gaining petition sig
natures or by paying a filing
fee. So far no candidates have
officially filed for the office.

points in the first quarter and
also added 8 rebounds on the
