Sheriff: No foul play in discovery
of body at Garnett truck stop
BY DANE HICKS THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Investigating
officers believe no foul play
was involved with the discovery of a deceased body in
a vehicle at Sandra's Quick
Stop on Friday.
Anderson County Sheriff
Vern Valentine said an
employee of the business
noticed a vehicle parked on
the property that had not
been moved in several days,
and after checking on it
discovered a man inside. He
was not moving.
Valentine
said
the
deceased was identified
as 41-year-old Julio Perez
Vasquez of Kansas City
Missouri. He was found sitting in the driver's seat of his
vehicle on the northeast side
of the truck stop. Valentine
said Vasquez appeared to
have passed from natural
causes and no evidence of
foul play was discovered.
The vehicle was registered to an acquaintance of
Vasquezs also living in the
KC area and contained his
dry-walling tools and equipment.
The retailer at the roundabout junction of U.S. 59 and
U.S. 169 south of Garnett
receives a large amount of
transient traffic in addition
to its local customers. The
highway section immediately to the south carries
more than 5,000 Vehicles a
day according to KDOT traffic counts, the highest-trafficked highway in Anderson
County.

The whole things a little
confusing, but if you want to vote
keep an eye on next Tuesday
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The upcoming Presidential
Preference Primary can be a little confusing.
For now, just remember February 20.
If you're registered to vote in Anderson
County as anything other than a Democrat
or Republican and you want to vote in the
March 19th presidential primary, you have
until next Tuesday at noon to pick a party.
Thats also the deadline to register to vote
to take part in the preference primary if
youre not presently registered to vote, and
to request an advance voting by mail ballot.
Only registered voters affiliated with
either the Republican or Democrat parties
can vote in the primary. Voters who haven't declared any party affiliation can still
declare either party right up to and including election day.
It's a little confusing for people used to
standard elections. You won't be voting for
a candidate, you will be voting to award
Democrat or Republican party convention
delegates to that candidate. Those votes will
inform the state parties as they allocate delegates who go on to endorse their preferred
candidate and eventually at the national
conventions
But if you are a libertarian or a member
of the newly organized No Labels party, you
won't be able to participate in the March primary and will have to nominate your candidates for president in the November election
by convention or caucus.
This particular primary process can be
confusing for those who have perhaps never
voted in any primary other than an August
primary that directly selected candidates
for a follow-up runoff. In a presidential preference primary the vote totals are given
to a political party to allocate delegates for
candidates at those parties national conventions. Whereas the selection processes are
often done by caucus, as they were in 2016,
this system takes the responsibility of conducting a caucus vote out of the state party's
hands and instead has the voters at Large

Financial pressures push rural communities toward pharmacy deserts
Local pharmacies struggle
against PBM pricing that
sets prices below real costs
BY Bek Shackelford-Nwanganga
KANSAS NEWS SERCVCE
PAOLA On a Monday afternoon,
Rockers Pharmacy is hopping. The
pharmacy sits on the edge of a large
parking lot off Baptiste Drive, the
main drag in Paola, Kansas. The building used to be home to a John Deere
dealership. It has blue steel awnings
and a neon "open" sign hanging in the
window.
Although the building is fairly new,
Rockers Pharmacy feels nostalgic
thanks to a retro soda fountain and ice
cream counter. Owner and pharmacist Nate Rockers said the counter was
added not only as a revenue stream,
but rather as a way to slow people
down.
"Our goal in this pharmacy isn't
to rush people in and out of our door.
Its to get an opportunity to know our
patients," Rockers said.
A vintage cash register sits on
the counter near soda flavorings in
Rockers Pharmacy. As a nod to the
past, Rockers has a retro soda fountain and ice cream counter.
Lora Eggleston, who lives in the
neighboring town of Osawatomie, said
the soda fountain is one of many features she loves about Rockers. Instead
of picking her prescriptions up at the
drive-through, Eggleston goes inside.
"They always have new little
gadgets out and candles and stuff. I
always find something that I can't live
without when I come here," she said.
Eggleston said she has been using
Rockers Pharmacy off and on for
around a decade. She said she prefers
Rockers over big, chain pharmacies
like CVS or Walmart.
"They know you. They get to know
their customers. And it feels like family," Eggleston said.
In many independent pharmacies,
like Rockers, customers are greeted
by name. Pharmacists know a customers medical history, what is going on
in their lives and what medications
theyre on. This helps pharmacists
catch mistakes in prescriptions and
provide individualized care.
At Rockers, though a steady stream
of customers come through their
doors, the stores profit margin paints
a different picture. Rockers said in
2023, 20% of the prescriptions
they filled were dispensed at a
loss, and 50% were filled for only
a $4 profit.
"When I say we dispensed at a
loss that is just for the cost of the
product, he said. That doesn't
include the time and the resources that we had into fulfilling that
prescription, including the bottle, the label, the labor."
Rockers Pharmacy isnt alone.
More and more pharmacies are
closing nationwide, and patients
are losing access to pharmaceutical care. These closures hit independently owned pharmacies the
hardest, and in places like rural
Kansas, they create pharmacy
deserts, limiting access to pharmaceutical care.
That's on top of the big chains

from stalking hearing continued
EMPORIA A Lyon County
District Court hearing set lastFriday to debate a stalking
order filed against Garnett
newspaper Dane Hicks by a
former city employee has been
continued until March 1.
Lyon County District Judge
Jeffery Larson denied Sherry
Harrison's initial filing for the
order against Hicks which contended he harassed and tormented her in covering a story
on her demand for a settlement from the City of Garnett.
Larson said possible constitutional issues required a hear-
ing before he could grant a
stalking order in the case.
Harrison served six weeks
as the local economic development director before threatening a lawsuit against the city
if she wasn't paid a settlement
of four months pay and benefits. A three-page resignation
letter detailed her charges
against city staff and outlined
the demand. Hicks pursued the
story in The Anderson County
Review, but so far Harrison's
brought no action against the
city.

Colony Christian Church Nicodemus, Do You Believe?
Pastor Chase Riebel's message Sunday was "Nicodemus,
Do You Believe?" from John
3. The most well known verse
in the world, John 3:16, was
first spoken to Nicodemus
under the cover of darkness as
Jesus explained to Nicodemus
why he must believe that God
the Father sent Jesus to save
mankind from perishing and to
be a light to the world. Pastor
Chase used a C.S. Lewis quote
"I believe in Christianity as I
believe that the sun has risen:
not only because I see it, but
because by it I see everything
else."
Bruce Symes communion
meditation from Deuteronomy
chapter 8 reminded us that
when God brought His people
to a land of plenty where they
lacked nothing and were freely
blessed God also warned them
not to forget Him.
The introductory song was
"Great Are You Lord" led by
worship team Lexy and Anna
Riebel and Ben and Ethan
Prasko. Other worship songs
included "Mighty to Save,"
"Leaning on the Everlasting
Arms" and "Graves into
Gardens."
Childrens Church volunteers
met after church for a potluck
and planning session followed
by a Vacation Bible School
planning session with other
area churches. Art Kreuzburgs
funeral service will be at 11:00
a.m. on February 10th at the

MCCULLEY
ESH
MAY 22, 1945 – FEBRUARY 2, 2024
OCTOBER 19, 1972 – FEBRUARY 3, 2024
Reuben S. Esh, age 51, of
Garnett, Kansas, went home
to be with
the Lord on
Saturday,
February 3,
2024.
Reuben
Smucker Esh
was
born
on October
19, 1972 to
Esh
John
and
Sara Esh in
Narvon, Pennsylvania. He
was the first born of six in his
family and loved each of his
siblings dearly. Reuben grew
up in Lancaster County and
moved to the Garnett, Kansas
area in 2003. Reubens life was
changed at age 24 when he had
an encounter with Jesus that
completely transformed him.
On October 25, 1997, he married
the love of his life, Marilyn
Yoder. They enjoyed 26 beautiful years together. In 1998,
he was ordained as a minister in Spring Garden Church,
Lancaster County. This started a lifelong passion to bring
people to Jesus. Reuben was
a lifelong builder in every
sense, from barns and companies, to people, to churches, to
community. As a young boy,
Reuben worked alongside his
father, learning to build barns
in the family business known
as Fetterville Sales, while completing everything with excellence. Reubens standards of
excellence and his work ethic
enabled him to do many things
in many different fields, each
blessing others along the
way. He was an entrepreneur
through and through and was
never happy without two or
three or fifty projects at any
given time. Over the years he
started and built multiple construction companies. In 2019,
Reuben and his business partner, Sam Stoltzfus opened the
Dutch Country Cafe in Garnett.
The restaurant fulfilled a vision
of bringing the community
together and he loved spending
time connecting with people
over coffee at the restaurant.
Reubens hobbies were building and creating, but he also
enjoyed his time in the clouds
after he earned his pilots
license. Since 2003, Reuben has
served as the pastor of Beacon
of Truth Ministries. He was
excited for the churchs growth
and the relocation to their new
home in Garnett as Beacon
House of Worship in 2022. One
of his greatest passion projects
was Operation Metamorphosis
in Spanish Lookout, Belize,
where he spent time pouring
into the lives of his students.
He loved his churches, seeing
lives changed, and overseas
missions. Some of his most
treasured times were traveling
with his family, taking care of
his ranch, and spending time
with his loved ones, his own
children and his spiritual children.
He was preceded in death
by his father, John Esh; infant
brothers, Jonathan and Ivan;
and his mother-in-law Katie
Yoder.
Reuben is survived by his
wife Marilyn, children Shaina,
Amber, Kiana, Moriah, and
Josiah; mother, Sara Esh;

We cant control the wind
but we can adjust the sails
On a calendar at home is the
following statement, We cant
control the wind but we can
adjust the sails. In John 3:8,
Jesus tells Nicodemus, The
wind blows where ever it pleases. You hear its sound, but
you cannot tell where it comes
from or where it is going.
The winds of adversity often
blow through our lives and just
like it says in the statement
above, we cant control them.
Life is full of times when we
have to walk into a stiff wind
and we often feel as helpless as
a ship tossed by the sea. In Acts
27:13-15, Luke tells of Pauls
trip to Rome by ship. When
a gentle south wind began to
blow they thought they had
obtained what they wanted;
so they weighed anchor and
sailed along the shore of Crete.
Before very long a wind of hurricane force, called a northeaster swept down from the island.
The ship was caught by the
storm and could not head into
the wind, so we gave way to it
and were driven along.
I have always found that
life is full enough of wind
storms without me causing
them myself. Storms like the
loss of a job, a sudden reversal of finances, the loss of a
parent, child or spouse. When
these storms hit us like a cold
January wind what do we do?
This is when we have to adjust
the sails. Now I wouldnt make
a very good sailor because
I dont know the first thing
about adjusting a sail. I would
need an experienced seaman to
help me learn. I also need an
experience problem solver to
help me deal with the storms of
life. For situations like I men-
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
tioned above I have found the
best source of help is my creator and sustainer, Almighty
God. I have found it is safe to
put all your trust in God.
Many times we are like the
pilot and owner of the ship
that Paul started out to Rome
on. When a gentle south wind
began to blow they thought
they had obtained what they
wanted. They ignored the
more important and less apparent sign. The time that they
were sailing was, after the
Fast or late in the year. We
read in Acts 27:41, But the
ship struck a sandbar and ran
aground. The bow stuck fast
and would not move, and the
stern was broken to pieces by
the pounding of the surf.
We can and do make shipwreck of our lives by excluding
God. However many people
seem to do quite well excluding God from their life because
God is patient with them. But
John the Baptist warns the
Pharisees and the Sadducee;
The axe is already at the root
of the trees, and every tree that
does not produce good fruit
will be cut down and thrown
into the fire.
When you read that it kind
of makes you want to adjust
your sails.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 13, 2024
PETA wants to educate kids; so do we
Then God said, Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness. And let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea and over the
birds of the heavens and over the livestock and
over all the earth and over every creeping thing
that creeps on the earth. So God created man
in his own image, in the image of God he created
him; male and female he created them. And God
blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful
and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and
have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the
birds of the heavens and over every living thing
that moves on the earth. Genesis 1:26-28:
REVIEW COMMENTARY
At the Review we recognize the responsibility
of every member of our culture to properly, morally and calorically educate our children.
This is why we are offering up an alternate set of recommendations for Chance Rides
of Wichita, maker of the horses, piggies and
other animals youve seen on carnival MerryGo-Rounds for 50 years, which earlier this
month was accosted by People For The Ethical
Treatment of Animals founder Ingrid Newkirk
for making animal figurines the kids could actually ride on a merry-go-round.
Its the kind of letter you would expect from
PETA short on context but long on irrelevant
gore, with horror stories of the way camels are
treated in Asia, for example. Kids shouldnt be
taught that animals are a means of conveyance,
Ingrid proclaims, suggesting instead that the
company focus on choo choo trains and spaceships and cars or even whimsical designs like
shooting stars carbon footprint or planetary
collision concerns apparently be dammed.
We asked Chance management if theyd consider a response to PETA suggesting a new product design in which the animals actually ride
the kids (full disclosure: I think I saw that on
an episode of Rod Serlings Night Gallery when
I was about 9; or I may actually have dreamed it
up myself, which is even more unsettling than
knowing my parents let their 9 year-old watch
Night Gallery. Anyways). No response yet
from the concept R&D division of the company.
But ever yearning for a meaty challenge, the
gears began to churn at the vaunted Informer
think tank searching for a solution. Wed have
to break a lot of eggs to come up with the best
omlette here, because though there are many
ways to skin a cat, only one idea can be Grade A
Prime Cut.
In order to represent a more realistic view
of animals, carousels could focus not simply on
using them for means of conveyance, like riding
the horse or the bunny rabbit. Seated rides could
DANE HICKS, Publisher
be crafted around themes like animals hunting
each other in the wild. We could have a cheetah
downing a gazelle for instance, with seating for
the kids back by the two cheetah cubs, smiling
at the prospect that at least today, they wont
be subject to starvation and disease. How about
a Native American Buffalo Hunt with seating
on the massive skull & horns looking over the
busy rendering work at hand with not even the
bones or teeth being wasted?
A second station on the carousel could be a
farmer harvesting chickens for McNuggets (or,
since we have no real confirmation on the actual
composition of a McNugget, maybe a Chicken
Tender). My aunt used to use an old telephone
poll laying on the ground in her barnyard as a
chopping block, and with a little added gearing,
headless birds could be configured to scurry
around a track built into the floor of the carousel
illustrating the old term because, indeed, they
really do.
The farm-to-table carousel wouldnt be complete without a home or restaurant dining section, where kids sit at tables with color-coded
dishes prepared from the various seating sections around the rest of the structure to illustrate just what animal gives you what food.
Dads nice thick ribeye would be color-coded to
the steer Johnny was riding; a bucket of KFC
could tie in to the orbiting chickens; maybe a
pioneer Thanksgiving depiction with a turkey
on a spit and the musket that put him on the
table leaned up against the stone fireplace.
Afterall, kids listen to yaks like Newkirk or
Tik-Tok these days with no first-hand or even
second-hand experience in where their food
comes from how do we expect them to have
any gumption about it. Humans bested other
primates on the evolutionary ladder for sev-

DOJ wont charge elderly Biden no, seriously
Federal prosecutors who investigated
President Joe Bidens mishandling of classified
documents declined to press charges despite
discovering top-secret records in his Delaware
homes garage, offices, and basement den.
On Thursday, Special Counsel Robert Hur
unsealed his report to the Department of Justice
(DOJ), concluding that no criminal charges
are warranted in this matter despite records
found related to foreign policy in Afghanistan
and handwritten notes implicating sensitive
intelligence. Prosecutors declined to press
charges, in part, because Biden would likely
present himself to the jury, as he did during
our interview with him, as a sympathetic,
well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.
Based on our direct interactions with and
observations of him, he is someone for whom
many jurors will want to identify reasonable
doubt, Hurs team wrote in the nearly 400page report. It would be difficult to convince a
jury that they should convict him by by then
a former president well into his eighties of
a serious felony that requires a mental state of
willfulness.
Prosecutors included pictures of where the
documents were discovered in Bidens private
residence.
Biden was exonerated despite false statements to federal prosecutors, who concluded
that the president risked disclosing government secrets to uncredentialed people.

fied documents discovered across multiple
locations, former President Donald Trump
faces a 40-count indictment from the Justice
Department over an alleged mishandling of
records marked classified.
Mr. Bidens memory, Hurs report said
Thursday, appeared to have significant limitations.
In the presidents interview with the special counsels office, Biden did not remember
when he was vice president, forgetting both
when his term ended and began.
If it was 2013 when did I stop being vice
president? the president reportedly asked in
his first interview with Hur. In 2009, am I still
vice president? Biden asked in the second.
Biden also forgot when his son, Beau, had
died, even within several years. And his
memory appeared hazy when describing the
Afghanistan debate that was once so important
to him, the report read.
The facts surrounding Beau Bidens death
have become a routine point of confusion for
the president, who lost his son to brain cancer in 2015. President Biden has repeatedly
claimed his son died in the Iraq War, which
ended in 2011.
My son was a major in the U.S. Army,
Biden said during a speech to troops in Japan
last spring. We lost him in Iraq.
Biden had previously made the false claim
in November of the previous year at a speech
in South Florida. The president confused the
war in Iraq with the ongoing conflict between
Russia and Ukraine during a talk where he was
supposed to be focused on Social Security and
Medicare.
They talk about inflation inflation is a
worldwide problem right now because of a war
in Iraq and the impact on oil and what Russias
doing excuse me, the war in Ukraine,
the president said. Im thinking about Iraq
because thats where my son died.
Before that, Biden claimed Beau died in Iraq
during a speech in Colorado just weeks earlier.

Congress: Enact minimum age of 18 for all social media
Mark Zuckerberg is very sorry.
His apology at a Senate hearing to the families of victims of online child sex abuse was
dramatic, and the human thing to do in the
moment, although he was pressured into it
under persistent questioning from Sen. Josh
Hawley, a Republican from Missouri.
Zuckerbergs contrition — whether real,
fake or somewhere in between — doesnt really matter one way or the other, though. The
key question is why we are subjecting our
children to a vast, real-time experiment in
exposure to a radically new medium that evidence suggests is harmful to their emotional
and mental health.
This dubious venture is unquestionably a
boon to the bottom line of Meta and its peer
companies, but its doubtful that any parent
in America has ever thought it was good for
their kid. Gosh, how can I get my tween to
spend more time on Instagram? is, needless
to say, a thought most parents dont have.
Social scientist Jonathan Haidt has been
on this case for some time now and points
out a marked increase in teen depression
and anxiety that coincides with the rise of
social media, particularly among girls. It is,
to be sure, difficult to nail down with absolute
certainty a direct relationship between social
media and these distressing outcomes, but
many studies find a connection, and the lived
experiences of families is, overwhelmingly,
that the takeover of adolescence by social
media hasnt been a healthy phenomenon.
At the very least, social media is addictive and represents an opportunity cost compared to time that could be spent talking with
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
friends, going outside or even reading a book.
Congress should press the brakes on the
revolution that has given Mark Zuckerberg
and other tech titans an outsized role in raising our kids and require that users of social
media be age 18 or older. Surely, its not too
much to ask that Zuckerberg and Co. make
their fortunes exclusively off adults.
Congress has already imposed an age limit,
just in the wrong place. The Childrens Online
Privacy Protection Act prevents the companies from collecting personal information
from children under age 13, effectively prohibiting them from social media. But 13 draws
the line much too young.
Regardless, the companies have been happy
to make a mockery of the rule. About 40% of
kids age 8-12 use social media, while usage by
teens age 13-18 is nearly ubiquitous.
For social-media companies, these kids are
just another market. According to a Wall
Street Journal report a couple of years ago,
Inside the company, teams of employees
have for years been laying plans to attract preteens that go beyond what is publicly known,
spurred by fear that Facebook could lose a
new generation of users critical to its future.
Lets say the research and everyones intuition is wrong, and social media isnt driving
worse outcomes for kids.
Whats the harm in staying off social media
until theyre older? That kids will miss out
on the latest absurd and perhaps dangerous
TikTok trend? That they wont get to envy
people posting photos on Instagram to make
themselves look more interesting and beautiful than they really are? That they will talk to
their families and friends more and engage in
more activities in the real world?
As Yuval Levin of the American Enterprise
Institute points out, there are ways to put
teeth in a more stringent age restriction, create a reliable mechanism for age verification,
and give those parents who desperately want
their young kids on social media a way to opt
in. Once every teen isnt on social media, it
becomes easier to stop teens from using social
media.
Perhaps, over time, it will become clear
that the teen mental health crisis wasnt driven by social media and — more improbably
— being on TikTok is good for 15-year-olds.
If so, we can go back and repeal the age-18
restriction — and apologize, if we must, to
Mark Zuckerberg.

ity, using the lie that such legislation is
anti-LGBTQ, illustrate just how evil these
Satanic Democrats are.
This week our leftist destructionist leader
publicly disclosed that, among his many talents, is that he not only sees dead people, but
also converses with them. Wow. Im sure this
fact will go a long way in easing the minds of
Americans. Thanks Joe.
According to the Special Counsels Report
looking into the criminal charges brought
against Biden for his mishandling of classified documents, its been confirmed the
charges were dropped because he is an elderly man with a poor memory who would be
unable to stand trial. Yet, he is still the leader
of the free world. Why?
So, Joe Biden said he was elected to be president of both the red and the green states. Okie
dokie then.
Im home free. As of today I am identifying
as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man
with a poor memory, in order to have my traffic ticket dismissed and going to trial. Yay!
Biden and the Democrats open borders
allowed in 10 million illegals, violent gangs,
enemy nation saboteurs and terrorist cells,
and along with deadly fentanyl, smuggled military weapons and weapons of mass destruction. We are now in eminent danger as never
before.
Hundreds of thousands of fentanyl deaths,
thousands of migrant deaths, hundreds of
thousands of deaths in Ukraine and thousands dead in Israel. These are the results of
Biden removing Trumps border policies and
removing Trumps sanctions on Russian and
Iranian petroleum while waging war on our
own petroleum industry. You can thank the
Democrat dingbats who voted for Biden for
this ever-mounting death toll.
We used to be a nation of laws. Now were a
nation of oh well, hes a venerable old man
with a poor memory, who also appointed my
boss, so we wont charge him with anything.
What a sham this country has become.

First dig of 2024 reveals
mostly old iron artifacts
First of all let me apologize
for such a messed up paper
towel. I took this photo right
after I had cleaned everything
and had put them out to dry.
Yes, this was my very first
time out to dig in 2024. I chose
to go to my farm site, instead of
my site in Greeley.
As you can see by this
photo, I mainly found old iron
artifacts from wagons or horse
drawn machinery. I can only
identify three of these artifacts
for sure.
They are the brass harness
rivet and burr, square nails
and the only shard I found of

Drivers may pay steep price for early potholes
WICHITA – Pothole season has
arrived earlier than usual this
year, putting drivers at greater
risk of a breakdown, the need
for a tow and potentially costly repairs. A recent survey by
AAA indicates that Americans
spend billions of dollars every
year to repair damages caused
by potholes, with an average
price tag of almost $600 per
repair.
Drivers can blame the
weather for their premature
roadway woes, as extreme fluctuations in temperature cause
potholes.
When a cold spell is followed by a warming trend,
water in the pavement expands
and contracts, leaving the road
surface cracked and vulnerable to the wear and tear of
traffic, said Shawn Steward,
spokesman for AAA Kansas.
This is a weather pattern we
typically see in the spring, but
this year, were already getting
calls from members with tire
troubles related to potholes.
Unfortunately, a flat tire is
not always a quick fix.
AAA Emergency Rescue
data indicates that last year,
about 28% of all tire-related
calls in Kansas resulted in the
need for a tow often because
there was no useable spare. In
fact, had a spare been available,
nearly 2,000 of those stranded

motorists could have avoided
the time and possible expense
of a tow.
Many new cars do not come
with a spare, so the one thing
drivers can do to minimize the
need for a tow is to check their
trunk right now, Steward
added.
In addition to tire troubles,
damage caused by potholes
may include dented rims, damaged wheels, dislodged wheel
weights, displaced struts, dislocated shock absorbers, damaged exhaust systems, misaligned steering systems and
ruptured ball joints.
Are Your Tow and Pothole
Damage Both Covered by
Insurance?
Typically, insurance doesnt
cover a flat tire because it is
considered basic wear and
tear. But, if a blowout is caused
by a pothole, the tow and additional damages to your vehicle
may be covered, depending on
your level of coverage.
Drivers who opt for minimum coverage may find themselves paying a steep price
when it comes to potholes,
said Gary Tomes, territory
manager for the Insurance
Agency at AAA. You dont
want to wait until its too late
to learn this costly lesson.
The AAA survey found that
one in 10 drivers sustained
vehicle damage significant
enough to warrant a repair
after hitting a pothole. AAA
urges all vehicle owners to talk
to their insurance advisors in
advance of a pothole problem
to ensure they are adequately
covered, should the need arise.
Avoiding Potholes
Of course, the best way to
prevent pothole damage or tire
troubles that might require a
tow is avoiding potholes alto-
gether.
AAA offers the following
tips for avoiding potholes/minimizing damage:
Beware of Puddles Puddles
are often potholes in disguise.
Look Ahead Make a point
of scanning the road ahead
for potholes. An alert driver
is more likely to have time to
avoid a pothole.
Increase
Following
Distance This will give you
additional time to avoid potholes otherwise hidden by the
vehicle in front of you.
Limit
Distractions
Avoiding a pothole is much
easier if you pay attention to
the road ahead.
Slow Down Slowing down
will increase the chance of
avoiding a pothole, and if you
cant avoid a pothole, reduced
speed will likely mean reduced
damage.
Inspect Tires Make sure
tires are properly inflated and
have a healthy tread. Tires that
are not road-ready are at greater risk of a blowout or flat.
Take Care of Your Spare
Check your trunk. Many newer
cars do not have spare tires or
the spare is unusable, causing
greater inconvenience to drivers and their passengers in the
event of a flat.
Dont Ignore Noises/
Vibrations A hard pothole
impact can dislodge wheel
weights, damage the tire or
wheel and even break suspension components. Any unusual noises after a pothole hit
should be inspected immediately.

PHARMACY…
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 13, 2024
LOCAL
ing up.
Thats bad news for rural
Kansans, because often when
their hometown pharmacy
closes, they are stuck driving
long distances for something
like a vaccine they could get at
a pharmacy. Or, they have to
receive their prescriptions by
mail without one-on-one help
from a pharmacist.
Though pharmacies are closing all over the place, Schnelle
said pharmacy deserts, as well
as closures, are hard to track.
Until recently, the only entities tracking them were state
boards of pharmacy.
Schnelle said when pharmacies close, they are required to
sell or transfer patient files at
very low rates to another pharmacy.
"Oddly enough, who do you
think that pharmacy is?" she
said. "It's CVS or Walgreens
they benefit directly from
the closure of an independent
pharmacy."
Pharmacy locations are
licensed by the owner, according to Schnelle, so when this
transfer of files happens, all
that changes on the licensing
end is the license number. This
makes it hard to know for sure
how many pharmacies have
gone under.
In recent years though, as
the problem grows, Schnelle
said more researchers are paying attention.
"It's now a topic of conversation because we have reached
mission critical, said Schnelle.
Like at this point, pharmacy
will not look the same for our
profession in 10 years."
But why are all these closures happening? Schnelle said
to understand, people need to
understand the role of pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs.
Whats a PBM?
Schnelle said PBMs started
in the late 1960s, as a way to
lower prescription prices for
consumers. They work behind
the scenes as a middleman
between insurance agencies
and pharmacies, determining
what patients pay for drugs
and what drugs are covered by
insurers.
But over the years, PBMs
began to consolidate. Now,
big insurance companies, like
Aetna (which is owned by
CVS), UnitedHealthcare and
Cigna, own PBMs. And many
of those companies own
mail-order or chain retail
pharmacies, too.
Schnelle said when companies began to consolidate like
this, the business model for
big chain pharmacies changed
from being patient-focused to
being focused on business and
cost reduction.
"Which, there's nothing the
matter with cost reduction
we all want to pay less to get
more, right?" Schnelle said.
"But it's when access is then
stopping."
Independent pharmacies,
however, still have to rely solely on their customers and local
community to stay in business.
Schnelle said these big
companies that own PBMs,
insurance agencies, pharmacy chains and more, control
the market and are pushing
out smaller players like independently owned pharmacies.
Thats part of the reason its
getting harder and harder for
small pharmacies to stay open.
Critics of PBMs, like
Schnelle, argue theyre not saving money for consumers or
employer health plans and
theyre pulling in huge profits.
A Brookings Institution
study found the top three PBMs
raked in more than $400 billion
in combined revenue in 2022.
Schnelle said the PBMs
are underregulated and that
shifts the focus from patient
care to profits. Oftentimes, she
said PBM clients have no idea
whats going on behind the
scenes.
"There's no transparency.
That's the point," Schnelle
said. "Even if they were saving
money, they say, 'this is our
super secret, like, way of saving money that we don't ever
show you.'"
The trade group representing pharmacy benefit managers disagrees.
The Pharmaceutical Care
Management Association, also
known as PCMA, responded to
comments made by Schnelle
and other pharmacies with a
statement.
The group said pharmacy
benefit managers understand
that independent pharmacies
play a vital role in prescription
accessibility for rural Kansans.
"In support of that critical
role, PBMs support rural phar-
macies in Kansas, and nationwide, through innovative programs that increase reimbursements and allow rural pharmacists to spend more time with
patients," Katie Payne, senior
vice president and spokeswoman for PCMA said in an emailed
statement.
"A strong relationship
between PBMs and rural pharmacies means a better experience and more affordability for
patients, which is our shared
priority," the statement continued.
In an emailed statement to
the Kansas News Service, an
Express Scripts spokesperson
said through their programs
like the IndepentRX Initiative,
Express Scripts works to collaborate with and support independently owned pharmacies.
`"We reimburse our pharmacy partners fairly and we
offer enhanced options to support independent pharmacies
because they play a vital role
in providing healthcare to
patients in rural communities," the statement said.
`The statement said Express
Scripts works "relentlessly" to
advocate for clients and members by making medications
more affordable and accessible.
"Most Express Scripts members pay less than $100 out of
pocket for all their medications
over a year," a spokesperson
said. "We have a robust network of more than 65,000 independent, chain and grocery
story pharmacies to provide
consumers with convenient
access to prescriptions at discounted rates."
To keep their doors open,
independent pharmacy owners
have had to innovate. Some
expand their retail footprint,
adding more merchandise,
gifts or medical equipment to
their shelves. Others focus on
other services, like vaccine
administration or testing for
various illnesses.
Dared Price is a pharmacist
and owner of seven independent pharmacies in central
Kansas. He said pharmacy
extras, like testing services,
are another reason why access
to pharmaceutical care is so
important.
"You're able to come to my
pharmacy and get tested for the
flu, or for strep throat, or for
COVID or for a urinary tract
infection," Price said. "And if
you test positive, then I'm able
to prescribe a medication for
you right there on the spot."
Back at Rockers Pharmacy
in Paola, Nate Rockers said that
in addition to offering more
services, hes had to keep his
staff small because he cannot
afford more workers. Rockers
said he often works 12-hour
days to keep everything running smoothly.
In addition to not being able
to afford extra staff, Rockers
said it can be difficult to find
staff in rural areas. Rockers
used to own a total of three
pharmacies, two in Kansas
and one in Missouri. But in
December, he had to close the
Missouri location because he
was having trouble staffing it.
Its not only difficult to
attract job candidates to rural
areas, but also, health care
workers in general are fatigued
after the pandemic.
"It's been an exceptional
challenge over the last several
years, frankly, to find staffing
in this particular space," he
said. "The pandemic put a lot of
stress on our U.S. health care
system and put a lot of stress
on individuals who practiced
in that space."
As a way to combat the
issues they were seeing with
PBMs, Price, Rockers and two
other independent pharmacy
owners in Kansas decided to
start their own PBM called
OREAD Rx.
"I mean, employers and
patients are getting completely fleeced and ripped off when
it comes to their health care,"
Price said.
Price said OREAD Rx is
transparent with corporate
employers and the company only makes money on an
administrative fee. Rebates
and other earnings are passed
back to the employer.
"It's really giving employers
back power of what their health
care looks like and patients as
well," Price said. "We're just
not ripping people off."
Rockers said in addition
to struggling with low reimbursement rates and staffing
issues, he and other independent pharmacy owners have to
worry about patient steering.
He said PBMs send letters to
his customers telling them it
would be cheaper to get their
prescriptions from a chain or
mail-order pharmacy.
MANHATTAN – The Kansas
Department of Agriculture
and K-State Research and
Extension (KSRE) will offer
four regional Local Food
Producer Workshops to assist
farmers market vendors and
managers, and for those wanting to sell food products directly to consumers.
Kansas farmers markets
not only provide a fresh food
source, but also stimulate the
local economy. In 2023, more
than 100 farmers markets were
registered with KDAs Central
Registration of Farmers
Markets.
Its part of our mission to
provide education to Kansas
farmers markets and agricultural businesses to help them
grow, said Russell Plaschka,
KDA marketing director.
These workshops will support
them in their endeavors to provide safe and abundant food to
Kansas communities.
Workshop
topics
will
vary slightly by location.
Highlighted topics include:
Marketing
SNAP and Double Up Food
Bucks
Food Safety
Regulations on Selling
Meat, Eggs and Poultry
Sales Tax for Vendors
KDAs weights and measures program will also offer
free scale certification at the
workshops for attendees.
Dates and locations for
the Local Food Producer
Workshops are as follows:
Friday, Feb. 9 Olathe:

Rockers said even he gets
letters advising him to use
another pharmacy.
"When I fill a prescription
for my child at my pharmacy,
I receive a letter from Express
Scripts, suggesting that my
child should use the convenience of the mail-order facility
that the PBM happens to own,"
Rockers said.
Rockers said it is hard to
track if or how many customers he has lost to PBM steering. He said oftentimes patients
begin medications for chronic
conditions at his pharmacy and
then stop refilling the medication.
"We see the drop off I
would have to surmise that the
vast majority of those patients
didn't just stop those medications. They just stopped getting
those medications from the
local pharmacy," he said.
Rockers, who has two children in high school, said small
business owners generally plan
to pass the business down to
their kids as a part of their legacy.
But Rockers said he is so
disappointed in the health care
industry that he has told his
children to steer clear of it.
"Because everything about
what you do at this point in
time is dictated by an entity
either in the insurance space
or in the pharmacy benefit
management space that is ultimately putting profitability
over outcomes," Rockers said.
"I feel guilty saying it. But
unfortunately, it's a reality."

victory to move their record to

points before St. Paul rallied

break, Crest picked up where
they started the game and took
control the rest of the way.

quarter and were shutout in

points in the quarter opening

fourth.

win improved the Anderson
County Lady Bulldogs record
to 15-1, as AC went on the road

The win also comes on
the heels of the Bulldogs
being ranked #7 in the
Kansas Basketball Coaches
Association poll. With 4 teams
ranked ahead of the Bulldogs
losing at least one game last
week, I would expect the AC
girls to move up even higher
when the new poll is released
this week.
The AC girls led 20-7 after
the first quarter and 40-22 at
halftime.
The second half was a much
more contested half, but Iola
