Snow coming
Wednesday
TOPEKA Weeks before
the one-year anniversary
of a brutal cold snap that
rim-wrecked the natural
gas budgets of numerous
Kansas towns and killed
some people when their
electric and gas systems
failed in Texas, Anderson
County is expecting snow
Wednesday that could measure as much as 8 inches by
days end.
County emergency preparedness director J.D.
Mersman told county
commissioners Monday
during a meeting on allocation of federal Covid-19
funding, that weather analysts were predicting snow
Wednesday with 3-5 inches
expected and a possible 6-8
inches for the East Central
Kansas region.
Though temperatures
were expected to nudge 70
degrees on Monday, todays
forecast 50 degree high was
expected to come with a 60
percent chance of showers
and a drop to 20 degrees
overnight with an 87 percent chance of snow beginning tonight. A potential
winter storm was being
anticipated throughout the
day Wednesday.
Wednesdays
expected low of 9 degrees would
lead in a 19 degree high
for Thursday, forecasters
said, with a 1 degree low

No tabs on
sex offender
Gregg faced multple
felonies, now released
on personal recognizance
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A former Miami
County man charged more
than six times since 2005
for violating state laws that
require him to register as
a sex offender in different
localties is awaiting a March
hearing, after being released
from Anderson County Jail on
a personal recognizance bond
last November.
Court records show Jeffrey
Gregg, 57, with a criminal history sheet showing numerous
past felonies related to a Lewd
and Lascivious conviction in
Johnson County in 2000 and
an Attempted Aggravated
Indecent Liberties with a
Child conviction from 1996.
Greggs record shows additional charges of failure to register, a felony under Kansas
law, in Miami County in 2005,
2012 and 2017 in Miami and
Anderson counties, previous
to the current June charge
filed against him in Anderson
County.
Gregg was released from
Anderson County Jail last
November
on a $25,000
personal
recognizance after
his defense
attorneys
motion on
the
basis
Gregg of an ongoing medical
condition.
Anderson County Attorney
Elizabeth Oliver said she did
not object to the bond change,
due to the countys financial
obligation to pay for Greggs
care if he remained in custody.

GARNETT Members of the Garnett Area
Chamber of Commerce paid tribute to
businesses and community members who
were elected by membership to receive
various honors Thursday night, and heard
an inspirational story about overcoming
setbacks from a wounded veteran of the
War on Terror.
Garnett Home Center and Rental was
tabbed from among a field of 12 nominees
for the Business of the Year Award. The
award is based annually on the criteria of
a demonstration of outstanding business
ethics, community support, leadership,
friendly service and overall benefit to the
community. Garnett Home Center was
formerly Garnett True Value, and was
born out of the 2017 purchase of the store
by eastern Kansas-based Gerken Rental.

THE KANSAS REFLECTOR
TOPEKA Wind and solar
farms would be banned in
more than half of Kansas
counties and made nearly impossible in the rest
under a trio of bills heard by
legislators last week.
One of the bills would
require leases presented to
landowners to come with a
message in 16-point font urging them to hire a lawyer. One
would deem projects abandoned if construction doesnt
commence within three years.
The last would ban wind and
solar farms on any land not
zoned for industrial use
forcing 60 Kansas counties to
consider zoning if they want
to allow wind development.
Anderson County opponents defeated an effort by
a German company to construct a 30,000 acre field of
400 foot wind turbines running down the eastern portion of the county in 2016 by
convincing county commissioners to approve stricter
offset standards to private
property and residences. Linn
County opponents stopped a
similar attempt in 2019. But
numerous other projects have
since been developed around
Kansas with a number of others planned for development.
The issue has been one of the
most contentious in Kansas in
recent years.
The zoning for industrial
use bill would require wind
developers to get a permit
before they file signed leases
with the county. But according to a renewable development attorney, a developer
cant get that permit until
theyve leased the ground.

Jarring cold temperatures

year, resulted in spiking spot
market prices for natural gas
which required state action to
arrange low-interest loans so
city gas providers could pay
for the massive increases without bankrupting either their
utilities or their customers.
The reduction in supply was
supposedly blamed on cold
damage done to natural gas
wells in Texas and Oklahoma,
which was compounded when
cold-damaged wind farms also
failed to produce electricity for
Texas customers and gas companies.
The City of Garnett borrowed $2.9 million from the
state fund to pay for excess gas
charges on a 10-year term. It
paid its first semi-annual payment nearly $147,000 last

book discussion has kicked off

Chasing Fireflies, by Charles
Martin.
When paramedics find a
malnourished six-year-old boy
near a burning car that holds a
dead woman, they wonder who
he isand why he won't speak.
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Mountain
Between Us comes a story of
self-discovery, healing, and
hope.
On a stifling summer day,
an old Chevy Impala ignored
the warning signals and was
annihilated by the oncoming
train. What no one realized
until much later was that the
driver had paused just before
entering the tracks and kicked
a small boy out of the car. A
small boy with broken glasses
who is clutching a notebook
with all his might . . . but who
never speaks.
Chase Walker was one of the
lucky ones. He was in foster
care as a child, but he finally
ended up with a family who
loved him and cared for him.
Now, as a journalist for the
local paper, hes moved on and
put the past behind him. But
when hes assigned the story of
this young boy, painful, haunting questions about his own
childhood begin to rise to the

And as Chase Walker discovers, learning the truth about
who you are can be as elusive
and as magicalas chasing
fireflies on a summer night.

OPINION
Gerrymandering Kansas:
What would Batman do?
In the immortal words of Batman:
Sometimes the truth isnt good enough, sometimes people deserve more. The caped crusading Dark Knight of Gotham is right. Sometimes
when youre fighting bad guys, the fact that
theyre simply flat out bad may not be convincing enough.
Leftists in Kansas who are determined to
bring to the Sunflower State all the charms of
lawlessness, homelessness and choking government overreach that have become the hallmark of the nations Democrat strongholds, are
beside themselves about a Republican-drawn
map that tinkers with the congressional district
boundaries in the eastern side of the state.
First some background: According to One
Man, One Vote laws, Kansas should have about
734,000 or so people per each of its four congressional districts. After each census, its up
to the state legislatures to redraw boundaries
to come as close as they can to equalizing the
populations of those districts. Gerrymandering
is, of course, the idea of manipulating those
boundaries to give some advantage to someone
either inside or outside those boundaries.
Right now Republicans have large but not
veto-proof majorities in the Kansas House and
Senate, and this time around theyre in charge
of drawing those boundaries. All Kansas congressmen are Republicans except for Sharice
Davids in the 3rd District, a district which
has always included increasingly purple-ish
Johnson County and hard Blue Wyandotte
County/Kansas City, Ks., which is heavily
minority and urban. In fact some 94 percent
of the district is considered urban compared
to the generally rural nature of the rest of the
state.
The 3rd District, too, has been mostly held
by Republicans over the past century, but the
12-year incumbency of Democrat Dennis Moore
and the growth in the number of affluent, liberal-leaning Johnson County Soccer Moms has
swung the district more toward Democrats in
recent years.
The new map had to reflect the population
growth in Johnson County over the past 10
years the 3rd District, overall, needed to give
up about 58,000 residents to neighboring districts in order to equalize. Republicans drew
the map to split Wyandotte County between
the 3rd District and the giant 1st District
(which lost population) and moved the Peoples
Republic of Lawrence from the 2nd District into
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
the 1st District as well. Democrats say splitting
Wyandotte County weakens their party in the
3rd District and sets up a 2022 election loss for
Davids. But the fact remains the law says what
the law says, and any way you slice it the 3rd
District had to give up some population.
Now, its important to note that many things
stay the same no matter what congressional
district youre in and who your congressman is.
You still get social security checks; you still get
to drive on paved interstates; you can even still
do the tourist schtick in Washington, D.C., if
you bring your own Kevlar and if your vacation
doesnt happen to fall over January 6.
What does matter, and what Americans have
become more and more in tune with over the
disastrous first year of Joe Bidens presidency,
is that its crucially important what and who
your congressman supports in D.C. Any congressmans office can help a constituent find
grandpas Army discharge or help track down a
federal employee annuity payment. But if your
congressman is voting to support the radical
Leftist agenda which were currently watching
weaken and debilitate our county like encouraging illegal immigration or purging credibility on the international stage or making it easier
to gin up one partys votes in a federal election
well, thats something else entirely.
Polls show the majority of Americans agree
the country is on the wrong track, and that
Biden and the extreme Left of the Democrat
Party are leading the country over a cliff. From
supporting Black Lives Matter terrorists to
defunding the police to a southern border that

Listen Mr. Biden, you have a southern border of

sell those in the tax sale for next to nothing and
then waive the fees for dumping the thing in

Theres parts of this town that looks like the

I wonder why I never seen anybody wearing a

Garnett city, you do a great job with the lights
in downtown but I would like to see more. Why
dont we start raising money now for a bigger
Christmas light display in the city. Nothing tax

and people would come to see it. Thank you.
The first president I can remember is
Eisenhower. I hear people complain and complain about our presidents and our government
official. I started asking them did you vote.
They got defensive. Said it didnt matter anyway. What do you expect? People need to understand thats our right. There is no reason not to
vote. Thank you.
I have a question or I guess an opinion about
the county tax sale were supposed to be having
again some day and all these derelict houses
you see around Garnett. Why is it that the
properties that get sold on the tax sale are
never these ones with the rat-infested aban-
NCAA throws women under the bus
They used to call me the fastest girl in
Connecticut. But I couldnt outrun an injustice.
For four years, I competed as a high school
runner and made it to the state championships
every one of those years. But in my junior
year, I lost four of the state titles I earned to
males who identified as females.
They give awards based on who winstypically the person with the strongest muscles,
the greatest lung power, the fastest speednot
based on how a person identifies. At the end of
the race, its about biology, not gender identity. And no amount of testosterone suppression
can change a males innate physical advantages, like bone structure and muscle mass.
And fast as I am, I cant outrun those advantages. Or the injustice that protects them.
For saying that out loud, Ive been branded
by some as a sore loser and a hater. But what I
object to has nothing to do with hate.
Female athletes like me make a ton of sacrifices to competeworking tirelessly to shave
fractions of seconds off our personal times
and giving up what many would consider the
normal teenage life by watching what we
eat, skipping parties for practice, going to bed
early to get up early and practice yet again. It

becomes almost like a career. And we do all
this while working hard to earn scholarship
opportunities with preferred colleges and universities.
Its all worth it to us because we know we
stand a chance at victory against our fellow
female athletesbut not against those who
arent biologically female. Its demoralizing to
see all that effort and sacrifice as futile, where
we are punished for a biological reality we
cant do anything about.
And thats whats been happening on high
school and college campuses across America
for the last several years. With the permission of coaches and administrators, as well as
those in leadership at the National Collegiate
Athletic Association, some male athletes have
been pushing their way onto womens sports
teams and playing fields. With their physical advantages, theyve been taking the positions, the wins, and the opportunities so many
women and girls have worked so hardoften
their entire lifeto obtain.
When women protest thisobjecting to seeing the rewards for all our hard work go to
competitors with a biological edge we cant
hope to overcomewere accused of hatred
and bigotry. But the issue is fairness. And
the people who should be protecting us and
defending our rights are letting us down, time
after time.
Last fall, it was the International Olympic
Committee, making way for male-bodied
athletes to more freely compete in womens
sports. This month, its the NCAA, offering a
complex and confusing list of directives that
basically pass the baton to the governing bodies of individual sports. But then USA Track

Dream ticket or cage match: DeSantis v. Trump
It was only a matter of time before Ron
DeSantis rising star ran into the unmovable
object of Donald Trumps will to continue to
dominate the GOP.
A spate of recent news stories has focused
on the proto-feud between the past president
with future ambitions and the protege who
rode his endorsement to victory in a Florida
GOP gubernatorial primary and has big ambitions of his own.
The level of the clash shouldnt be exaggerated — so far, it mostly consists of muttering
from Mar-a-Lago.
Obviously, its also insanely early. But the
Trump-DeSantis storyline is inherently alluring, given the chances of a collision between
two men who have been allies and the possibility of the subordinate in the relationship
eclipsing the figure who helped to elevate him.
Whether that ever happens is unknowable,
yet the spat is revealing, nonetheless. Some
version of what DeSantis represents has the
greatest odds of coaxing the party away from
Trump and forging a new political synthesis
that bears the unmistakable stamp of Trump
while jettisoning his flaws.
Theres simply never going to be a GOP
revelation in which the rank-and-file suddenly
decides, It was a mistake to ever embrace
Donald Trump, and now we want to be the
party of Adam Kinzinger. There will be no
Bourbon Restoration.
The challenge to Trump will have to come
from the Trump wing — at this point, more like
the Trump fuselage, wing and landing gear — of
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
the party. After Trumps presidency, the party
is more populist, focused on the culture war,
resistant to media narratives, and skeptical
of business — and would it remain so if Trump
retired tomorrow.
Although in many ways an orthodox conservative, DeSantis covers these bases.
Importantly, hes a lightning rod for criticism
from the left — now a major plus for Republican
voters — and gives as good as he gets in clashes
with the media. There are few causes that light
up the Republican base that he doesnt find a
way to address, whether on big tech or critical
race theory, and he has emerged as the partys
exemplar on the pandemic, with his strenuous
opposition to lockdowns and mandates. This
gives him credibility with Trump voters and
the foundation to compete with Trump, not as
a critic or scold but as someone who can do it
better.
In fact, it is likely that the most telling line
of attack against a potential candidate Trump
would come from the right.
That he elevated Dr. Anthony Fauci early in
the pandemic and listened to his advice for too
long.
That despite all his talk of building the border wall, he didnt get it done and left intact a
desperately flawed immigration system.
That he rattled Chinas cage but didnt make
fundamental changes to the trading relationship and was too complimentary of President
Xi Jinping.
And, finally, that he lost to Joe Biden, a
desperately flawed candidate who only made
it into the White House because Trump made
himself so unpopular.
Would DeSantis be audacious enough to run
against Trump in 2024? The case against waiting is that that its extremely unlikely that the
governor can maintain his exalted status in the
party until 2028.
On the other hand, the case against running
in 2024 is that it involves the enormous risk of
encountering the business end of the Trump
buzzsaw, which could change DeSantis image
in the party forever.
Trump took a not-so-veiled shot at DeSantis
in a recent interview, hitting unnamed gutless politicians who wont say whether
theyve gotten a COVID-19 booster shot or
not. DeSantis has been notably evasive on this
question, and Trump was giving him a hint of

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 2-1-2022 /
DANE HICKS
A small boy had one line to
speak in a play. The line was,
It is I , do not be afraid. When
the lights went on and the curtain went up he walked out and
looked at the crowd and said,
It is me and I am scared. We
chuckle at childrens responses sometimes to situations but
maybe this line describes most
of us today. There is a lot of
fear present in us today. One
thing we need to remember is
this type of pandemic causes
fear which causes markets to
be driven by fear which causes overreaction by the stake
holders. This includes stocks,
bonds, securities of all kinds
and agricultural markets.
Consumer purchases are no
different, hoarding creates
artificial shortages and taxes
the supply chain which creates
more fear. However the one
big fear we hold that is most
dear to us, is the threat to life
itself. In John 6:16-21 we read,
That when evening came his
disciples went down to the
lake, where they got into a boat
and set off across the lake for
Capernaum. A strong wind
was blowing and the waters
grew rough. When they had
rowed three or three and a half
miles they saw Jesus approaching the boat walking on the
water; and they were terrified.
But he said to them, It is I dont
be afraid.
Then they were
willing to take him into the
boat, and immediately the boat
reached the shore where they
were heading. Wouldnt it be
great if our pandemic could be
resolved as quickly as Jesus
solved the swamped boat of the
disciples.
If you are a Christian you
have trusted Jesus for your salvation which he did through
the cross and the resurrection.

WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
How much more can we trust
him to handle our other trials
in life, which though they seem
very large, are small compared
to our salvation. It is important for us to be vigilant and to
co-operate with the guidelines
that are passed along assuming
they are within the power of
the agency mandating them.
This is what Jesus was referring to when he said, Render
to Caesar what is Caesars and
to God what is Gods.
We must remember God is
our infinite creator and sustainer. Even when we have
to walk through the shadow of
the valley of death he will walk
with us. His rod and staff will
comfort and protect us. When
we come out of the valley we
shall see the beautiful city of
God, whose maker and builder
is God. Where all things will
be made new, the old order
of things shall pass away and
there shall be no more curse.
When we face fear and doubt
we must remember John 10:29
where Jesus says. My Father
who has given them to me is
greater than all, no one can
snatch them out of my Fathers
hand. I and the Father are
one. The Christian is safe in
the hands of Jesus.
Ministry on the Holiness
of God.

Everyone in leadership
seems to want someone else
to take responsibility. Many
of them are understandably
scared that a minority of loud
activists are going to take aim
at their sport, their school, or
them personally. So, theyre
throwing female athletes under
the bus, hoping we will eventually be quiet and all the commotion will eventually go away.
If it does, womens sports
will become a thing of the past.
Theres no way athletic

cant see this. If biological

Under Title IX, they have
a legal obligation to protect
female athletes from this
unfairness, butjust like the
Connecticut Association of
Schools, which I and other
girls sued through our attorneys with Alliance Defending
Freedomtheyre not doing it.
And that must mean that the
dreams of women, the opportunities for women, the rights
of women just dont matter. On
the playing field, or under the
law.
Which means theres a lot
more at stake here than a footrace. Or a swimming event. Or
an Olympic title. This is about
what we think of women in
America. This is about whats

BILLS…
FROM PAGE 1
I think is intentional, said
Alan Claus Anderson, vice
chairman of Polsinellis energy practice group in Kansas
City. Maybe its accidental.
Either way, it makes the persons ability to lease the land
impossible.
The trio of bills, all offered
by Sen. Mike Thompson, a
Shawnee Republican, were
heard by two Senate committees this week. A handful of
landowners in rural Kansas
supported the bills while the
renewable development industry urged lawmakers not to
move forward.
Theres a series of bills
here, all taken together to do
the same goal, which is to end
renewable energy, Anderson
said.
Thompson told committee
members Kansas needed more
transparency around industrial wind and solar development,
claiming wind energy developers target unzoned counties
and use tactics that are secretive to obtain leases to build
their wind turbines.
Were not saying we cant
do these facilities, Thompson
said. Were just saying these
communities are being so
severely impacted that they
need to know about it and at
least have a chance to negotiate or push back.
He echoed a refrain commonly employed by critics of
wind facilities yes, landowners who want a turbine on
their property have the right to
do so, but nearby landowners
property rights are infringed
by intrusive development.
It would be the same as
saying, I want to shoot my
gun at your property, but the
bullet just magically stops at
the property line, Thompson
said. Its a health and safety
risk.
The bill requiring that land
be zoned for industrial use
before a wind project is built
would also allow adjoining
landowners to stop that rezoning. If 10% of the contiguous
landowners sign a petition, it
would go on the next general
election ballot.
If a project is deemed abandoned after three years, a
developer would have to file a
plan with the county for construction. Otherwise, landowners could terminate their leases.
But Anderson said it takes
longer than three years to complete the necessary studies,
including those required by the
regional grid, the Southwest
Power Pool, to start construc-
3B
LOCAL
tion. Developers have to have
control of the site to get that
done.
So it creates, by the nature
of the terms of this, an impossibility, Anderson said. So
what does that mean? That
means that these people cannot contract because companies will say, I cant work in
this regime. Were out.
Kansas has seen an explosion of wind generation in
recent decades. At the end of
2020, it had the fourth-largest
capacity for wind generation,
with more than 7,000 megawatts. Wind makes up more
than 40% of the states electrical generation.
To build wind farms, developers lease ground for turbines
from farmers. They often tout
the economic benefits of wind
production for rural towns and
counties and have offered additional funds for community
projects.
But some rural neighbors
who either arent offered leases or turn them down have
regarded the turbines, often
hundreds of feet tall with
blades that extend even farther, as nuisances.
Some people end up surrounded by these turbines with
flashing lights, the noise, the
health issues, Thompson said.
Claims of adverse health
effects are not widely support-

Don Lueger, of Nemaha
County, said there was ground
leased in his community within a mile of St. Benedict where
the historic St. Marys Catholic
Church draws visitors.
He said the Soldier Creek
wind farm nearby in the county was opposed by much of the
community but forced on the
area. His son plans to build a
house on part of the familys
land but fears turbines could
be placed nearby.
To think that placing a turbine that close isnt infringing
on our property rights is ludicrous, he said. Something
has got to change.
Property rights
Proponents of the bills,
skeptics of industrial wind
development, argue developers
push projects on rural communities, signing up farmers
ground before nonparticipating landowners know whats
happening.
I believe (the bills) are
absolutely mandatory to establish a broader scope of state
regulations that protect landowners from lopsided tenant
or industrial energy developer
agreements that place excessive risk on trusting and again,
if not naive, Kansas landowners, said Bill Scopp, of Linn
County.
Scopp said he has spent
his career in equipment and
leasing and reviewed a lease
offered in Linn County that
he believed unduly benefited
the developer at the expense of
landowners rights. Scopp did
not say whether he had ever
been offered the opportunity to
lease his land to a wind developer.
He complained that wind
developers could tie up land
for years with a sign-on bonus
before farmers receive monthly payments from the wind
farm.
Beverly
Kavouras,
of
McPherson County, said developers prey on unzoned counties, though various developers attempted to establish five
wind projects in McPherson
County, which is zoned.
McPherson County instituted
a moratorium on wind development.
And while landowners
without wind turbines say the
projects infringe on their right
to enjoy their rural property, restricting the ability for
landowners who want to lease
to developers is an assault on
their freedom to contract.
Anderson called it a pretty
remarkable one.
The end result of this bill

Waddle tops at Senior
Center pitch Jan. 27
Eleven seniors met on the 27th
of January for 10 games of
13-point pitch. Jackie Waddle
won the most games (8 of 10),
Martha Beachy won the least.
Doug McIntosh won the 50/50
and Ray Wards had the most
perfect games with five. You
are welcome to join us on
Thursday evening at six o'clock
at the Senior Center.
Jan Wards reporting.
with their land, Anderson
said.
The Kansas Association of
Counties called the proposal to only allow wind farms
on land zoned for industrial
use an assault on local control because it would force
unzoned counties that are
interested in wind development to go through the expensive, time-consuming process
of developing zoning. And the
bill offers no funds for that.
Kimberly Gencur Svaty,
public policy director for the
Advanced Power Alliance,
said she and her husband, former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Josh Svaty, had
purchased ground with a wind
lease already on it. They also
negotiated successfully over
months with an energy company for a wind farm. On another
piece of ground, they opted not
to lease for wind.
She took umbrage with an
individual calling many landowners trusting and naive.
I am so proud of my land,
Gencur Svaty said. Its not
something that I ever thought
that I was going to get to own.
Its really been one of the
greatest joys of my life, so I
dont treat any interactions
with my ground and my property lightly.
