FRCO commissioners scuttle
NextEra wind research tower
Franklin joins other
ECK counties to form
dead zone for wind
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
OTTAWA Franklin County
Commissioners last week
denied a special use application for a wind research tower
by NextEra Energy, sending a
strong signal that county government there isnt receptive
to a commercial wind project.
The move echoes recent
decisions in other East Central
Kansas counties Anderson,
Osage, and Linn in particular
which effectively have created a multi-county dead zone
for wind energy in the region.
Commissioners
Don
Stottlemire, Rod Harris, Roy
Dunn and Colton Waymire
voted unanimously to support
a county planning commission recommendation to deny
the permit, which would have
built a 197-foot wind data collection tower on private property in northwest Franklin
County. Commission chairman Ianne Dickinson was not
present at Wednesdays meeting.
The move places Franklin
County at odds with Douglas
County, where a NextEra
project under development
would cross county lines and
envelope tens of thousands of
acres in southwest Douglas
and northwest Franklin counties. Members of the public
who spoke at Wednesdays
Emporia Gazette Photo
Franklin County meeting said
some of their neighbors had
already signed tentative lease
agreements with NextEra to
site wind turbines on their
properties. NextEra has been
looking at a rural Douglas
County project since 2013
and has placed a number of
research towers there with the
approval of Douglas County
commissioners and planning
board officials.
Those both for and against
wind energy gave their opinions at a meeting January
30 of the Lawrence-Douglas
County Planning Commission
to draft new wind energy zoning regulations subsequent
to new regulations governing
solar installations in the county.
About 20 individuals
delivered
comments
at
Wednesdays Franklin County
Commission meeting, all but a
handful opposing the approval of the research tower and
speaking against the development of a local wind farm and
wind energy in general for its
impact on the landscape, possible health issues, wildlife
impact and effect on nearby
home values.
You need to represent the
majority of the county, said
Diane Carl of Ottawa. I dont
want them in the landscape.
Franklin County is too beautiful.
Kevin Evans said he was
concerned about the impact
on home values if a wind farm
resulted in a drop in nearby
home sale prices.
Weve all got to stare at
them. Weve all got to listen
to them, he told the commission.
Not all the comments were
in opposition to the tower
and wind energy, however.

Transmission line public hearings set March 1 & 2 in Iola, Girard
Project underway has
eminent domain authority,
hearings set to gather input
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
IOLA Opponents of a proposed electric transmission line that will cut
through Anderson and multiple other
counties in Southeast Kansas have little hope of curtailing the project, but
they can learn more about its specifics
at two upcoming hearings scheduled
March 1-2 in Iola and Girard.
NextEras 94-mile project will connect the Wolf Creek Nuclear Plant
with an electrical grid connection in
Blackberry, Mo., cutting across the
southwestern corner of Anderson
County and running through Coffey,
Allen, Bourbon and Crawford counties as well.
The
Kansas
Corporation
Commission
granted
NextEra
Transmission, with ties to the major
wind farm development firm NextEra
Energy, authorization as a pubic utility last summer. That move gave the
company the ability to conscript property through eminent domain if necessary to acquire land for construction
of the power line.
That authority has concerned a
number of property owners along its
route, several of whom were vocal
in their dissent at a meeting of county commissioners and county staff
from affected counties in Iola last
October, set to discuss possible zoning
setback requirements on the project.
That meeting was eventually called
off because protests interrupted what
the principals had planned as a work
session.
The March 1 & 2 hearings will
be held at Iola Senior High School
(March 1) and Girard Public Library
(March 2). Each begins with an open
house segment at 3 p.m. for one-onone questions with NextEra and KCC
staff, with a general Q&A following
at 6 p.m. Detailed maps of the project
will be available at the open house.
The Girard meeting will be carried on
ZOOM with registration required by 5
p.m. March 1 at kcc.ks.gov/your-opinion-matters. Both hearings will also

Incentive program rehashed in Garnett
Revised plan should
include lower valued
properties, longer term
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Officials hope
simplifications and revisions
to a property tax rebate program first adopted decades ago
will provide new incentive for
local property owners to make
improvements.
Garnett City Commissioners
are likely to approve an inter-
local agreement tonight to
once again join with Anderson
County and USD 365 in the
program, after revisions were
approved in late January by
county commissioners.
Anderson County Clerk
Julie Wettstein and county economic development director
Julie Turnipseed reviewed the
new aspects of the NRP with
city commissioners at the last
city meeting, outlining a plan
that expands to include lower
value properties for a longer
period of time and does away
with geographic limitations in
the previous plan.
In a nutshell, the original
plan was designed to rebate
95 percent of the increase in
taxes a property owner incurs
when making improvements
to a property if those improvements netted at least a $5,000
increase in valuation either
a vacant lot on which new construction is based or improvements on an existing home
or commercial building. But
the old rules limited the plan
to certain areas of Garnett
deemed blighted, avoiding
newer residential subdivisions
and focusing on downtown
buildings while avoiding more
marketable commercial locations.
Wettstein and Turnipseed
bulleted changes to the new
plan which would make the
plan available everywhere in
Garnett as opposed to certain
areas, revised the participation threshold to a 10 percent
increase in property value as

KANSAS NEWS SERVICE
TOPEKA, Kansas Christina
Smith says her son has threatened to kill her.
Smith was recovering
from knee surgery when her
child threw her against a wall
because he didnt want to go
back to a psychiatric ward. She
tried to call 911, but her son
took her phone. Police have
been to her house before, yet
Smith said they didnt do any-
thing meaningful.
She testified to lawmakers
earlier this month that efforts
to reform the states juvenile
justice system through Senate
Bill 367 six years ago amounted
to good intentions that came
with some unintended, and
often frustrating, consequences.
Critics of the existing law
essentially argue that its
become too hard to handle
problem kids by ruling out
penalties including locking
them up that might be necessary even with children.
We tried every service from
therapy, mental health services, medication and the (serious emotional disturbance)
waiver, she said.
The law tried to spare kids
from getting locked up so often
but it also allowed kids to avoid
treatment.
Smith and others said the
law went too far in some ways
that have made it harder to
control, and help, children battling through serious behavioral and mental health problems.
Bill 367 allows grace for
juveniles that make mistakes,
she said, but the law has put
me in danger more times than
I can count.
Now, lawmakers are trying
to retool the law to bring back
more penalties for children

Jackie Mundt, Pratt County
farmer and rancher
Calving season started on
our farm last week with the
arrival of three babies. For
roughly two months our cows
and their newborn babies will
be the center of all our attention.
This season has become one
of my favorite parts of the farm
year. Even though I grew up
on a dairy farm, calves arriving in this small window was
new to me as our dairy calving
was staggered throughout the
year.
Calving is a time of long
hours, spontaneous burst of
intensity and nights filled with
worry. But it is also filled with
stretches of quiet serenity,
the wonder of new life and a
rhythm of routine that fills me
with peace and gratitude.
The births are unpredictable a little bit like knowing
you are going to have a house
guest but not knowing when
they will arrive. We are nervous the calves will show up in
the middle of the night or when
you are away from home, but
we cant spend all of our time
watching and waiting. Day or
night, the births often happen
without issue and a cow with
good maternal instinct will
have the young one clean, feeding and walking around the
pasture within 24 hours.
Occasionally things dont go
as planned and we have to stepin and help things along. This
is most likely to happen for
those giving birth for the first
time or on very cold nights.
When we help by pulling a calf,
warming them inside or occasionally feeding them colostrum, there is a lot of worry
and hope that the calf will
make it. Knowing that the natural course of calving means
some wont survive doesnt
ever make it easier to lose one.
Like a doctor making
rounds, farmers ride through
their pastures multiples times
a day during calving season.
We are on the lookout for dark
patches in the grass that might
be a calf, cows with twitchy
tails or away from the herd,
which are both signs they are
close to delivery. This exercise
of checking the herd doubles as
the practice of mindfulness, the
therapeutic technique of focus-
ing on the present to relieve
stress, because all of our energy is spent paying attention
to the things happening in the
moment.
The views during this season are unforgettable, too. I
have always thought Kansas is
at its height of beauty on warm
February days when the sun is
shining and cows are grazing
on wheat that has greened up.
Evening checks are always
my favorite. The how was
your day, conversation on the
drive to the field fades away as
we start the check and need to
focus on the task at hand. As
the days have started to get
a little longer, the fading sun
creates a picturesque world

OPINION
B
eing a mom to
three
young
children taught
me not to believe
every story I hear.
So forgive me for not
believing much of anything I heard tonight
from President Biden.
From out-of-control
inflation and violent
crime to the dangerous border crisis and
threat from China, Biden
and the Democrats have
failed you.
They know it. And you
know it.
Its time for a change.
Tonight, let us reaffirm our commitment to
a timeless American idea:
that government exists not
to rule the people, but to
serve the people.
Democrats want to rule us
with more government control, but that is not who we
are. America is the greatest
country the world has ever
known because we are the
freest country the world has
ever known, with a people who
are strong and resilient.
Five months ago, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. It was
a hard time for our family, particularly for our kids Scarlett, Huck,
and George but we kept our faith
and persevered.
Thanks to exceptional doctors
here in Arkansas, a successful
surgery, and the grace of God,
I am cancer-free.
Through it all, I couldnt
help but think about
my mom.

Why not just eliminate Kansas tax on Social Secuirty?
Our state faces a decision on how it taxes
Social Security checks going to senior citizens
and others. Our question is, why tax Social
Security at all?
Right now, the state exempts Social Security
benefits paid to people who have $75,000 or less
adjusted gross income on their federal tax
return. Thats the cliff; make one more dollar
and you jump off it. You pay state income tax
on all your benefits.
Gov. Laura Kelly has said shed like to find
a way to ease the cliff, but that seems like
merely tinkering with this odious tax. Why
not just eliminate it? That, in fact, is something Democrats and Republicans in Topeka
could agree on.
Sen. Caryn Tyson of Parker, the Republican
chair of the Senate tax committee, has made
that a goal for several years. Sen. Tom Holland,
a Democrat from Baldwin City, says hed like
to see the cliff issue addressed this session
but didnt go so far as to endorse exempting
Social Security.
Rep. Adam Smith of Weskan, who represents our corner of the state in the House,
chairs the tax committee in the House. He and
Sen. Tyson will have a lot to say on what happens with these issues.
So far, theres no bill proposing any solution for the tax cliff, for eliminating the levy

on Social Security or to make any other changes. The state also exempts state pensions,
but taxes private pension plans. Sen. Tyson
has proposed sheltering at least part of private-pension benefits.
No fiscal note has appeared to tell us
what ending the state income tax on all pension payments would cost the state. Our guess
is it would be significant, but not a huge bite
out of the states revenue.
Then the question becomes, if that turns out to
be true, Why not?
Pension payments are, after all, what they
call a fixed income. People depend on them
for retirement, and the idea of the state taxing
them is a little hard to swallow. (The federal
government leads the charge in taxing benefits, by the way; it taxes up to 85 percent of its
own Social Security payments.
Wed support repeal of Kansas income tax
on all pension payments, federal, state and
private, at least within certain limits. If people
work or have private retirement income from
investments, they pay taxes on that. And that
should be enough.
Big-spending government officials, in
Congress or in the White House, always want
to tax everything so theyll have more to spend.
President Joe Biden supported increase in the
taxable amount of Social Security benefits as
a senator. But that is an issue Congress would
have to address, and should.
Out here in rural Kansas, were just talking
about state taxes. And while a heartless federal government does tax the bejabbers out of
pensions, thats no sign that the state must.
Based on what we know today, at least, wed
say just go cold turkey and exempt them all.

Trump flounders in futile attack on DeSantis
Donald Trump hasnt been impressing anyone with his political acuity lately, but at least
he is fully aware of one of his own vulnerabilities.
His early attacks on the COVID-19 record of
Ron DeSantis show that he knows the Florida
governor has outflanked him on the populist
right — indeed, outflanked him in general -regarding one of the most central issues of the
last couple of years.
In typical style, Trump isnt tiptoeing
around the issue, but driving right at the governor in an attempt to take away one of his
foremost strengths.
The free state of Florida? No, despite
what you might recall, it was really the shut
down Sunshine state.
Florida was actually closed, for a great,
long period of time, Trump told reporters
during his first campaign swing. Remember,
he closed the beaches and everything else?
Theyre trying to rewrite history.
This is brazen even by Trumps standards.
It will take all of his powers as a political sloganeer, marketeer and wrecking-ball to counter the DeSantis brand on the coronavirus,
which has the advantage of being grounded in
reality.
For Republicans, the DeSantis approach of
getting out of shutdowns as soon as possible
and resisting mandates and restrictions has
been vindicated and has appeal to nearly all
factions.
For populists, he resisted the elites and
self-appointed experts. For limited-government conservatives, he (although this is complicated) lightened the heavy hand of government. For everyone right of center, he forged
his own path in the face of conventional
wisdom and got attacked for it in the media

and the left — demonstrating the paramount
GOP virtues of having courage and the right
enemies.
DeSantis would have much to brag about
in his record in Florida absent COVID-19, but
it is his response to the pandemic that sets
him apart and makes him, for the moment, a
near-legend for many Republicans.
Trump is correct that DeSantis issued shutdown orders like nearly everyone else at the
outset of the pandemic. In March 2020, the
governor issued statewide restrictions and
then more far-reaching measures in Palm
Beach and Broward counties. Beaches, as
Trump said, were shut down.
The trouble Trump has is that DeSantis
was initially acting in keeping with the guidance of the federal government that Trump
led.
Despite some grousing, Trump had at his
right hip during the entire pandemic the man
that has come to represent for Republicans all
that was wrong with the pandemic response
–Dr. Anthony Fauci.
It tends to be forgotten, but Georgia went
first in reopening in late April 2020 and Trump
hit Brian Kemp for it.
At his coronavirus briefing, Trump said,
I told the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp,
that I disagree strongly with his decision to
open certain facilities.
When DeSantis, too, moved to reopen,
Fauci attacked the state for moving too quickly.
By May 2020, Florida had a clearly distinguishable approach to the pandemic.
DeSantis was already skeptical of shutdowns
and focused on protecting the most vulnerable rather than population-wide measures.
Crucially, the state was absolutely insistent
that schools return to in-person instruction.
Over time, DeSantis shifted from simply
lifting restrictions to using the power of his
office and the state to block further COVID-19
restrictions by localities, school boards and
private businesses. He kept localities from
obstructing businesses from opening or fining
people for violating mask ordinances. He forbid vaccine passports. He prevented schools
from forcing parents to mask their children.
DeSantis response to the coronavirus isnt
going to be decisive in a prospective 2024 primary battle with Trump. It is, however, what
has put him in the game. It also is a large part
of the reason that Republicans feel vested in
and defensive of the governor, making it harder for Trump to mock and belittle him — not
that he isnt going to try.
Trump accuses DeSantis of disloyalty and,
if developing an issue that is going to be
almost impossible for Trump to counteract
counts, hes guilty as charged.

she is also working as a prosecutor in Bourbon

allowing this to happen? Apparently we need to

HISTORY
More finds, need help with identification 10 years ago…Fire destroys Welda Steakhouse
As long as the weather is
nice enough for me to go out, I
will have photos to share with
you. That is if I continue to find
artifacts. At my present site I
seem to have no problem doing
that.
Today my thanks go out to
Shirley McGhee for calling me
and identifying the black discs
in one of last weeks photos.
These black discs were used to
seal up baby bottles. You could
turn the nipple upside down in
the bottle, place the disc on it
and screw the cap down, therefore sealing the bottle.
Again thank you Shirley.
#1 – Here I go again, asking
for help identifying four of my
finds.
#2 – A variety of buttons.
Brass, white glass, black
bake-lite, mother-of-pearl.
#4 – This penny is 104 years
old (1919-S) For being buried
for many years its certainly in
great condition.
#2 – A mystery bottle! I have
no idea what it once held.

opposed to $5,000, and expanded the term of the program
from 5 years for residences
to 7 years and from 8 years
for commercial buildings to
10 years.
The program depends on
agreements between taxing
authorities in this case the
city, county and school district to agree to its parameters in order to make the tax
benefits uniform. Wettstein
and Turnipseed said the plan,
once approved by all entities,
would be retroactive to Jan. 1
of this year. Projects have one
year to be completed unless
extensions are granted and no
one can participate who owes
back property taxes.
The programs a really
good incentive for anybody
who wants to make improvements, Wettstein told the
city leaders. About 17 property owners participate in the
NRP, she said. Turnipseed
said they were surprised at
how few people took advan-
tage of the program and that
she hoped to promote the plan
more to those who might be
able to take advantage of it.
She said county commissioners had directed her to promote the program to the countys smaller cities for approval
as well.
The NRP began in 2001 as an
initiative by the Garnett Area
Chamber of Commerce after
the tax incentives on which it
was based were approved by
state statute.

Schools must meet that enrollment figure next fall, or the
board will meet in October 1993
to decide on closing the facilities for the 1994-1995 school
term. In addition, by a unanimous 7-0 decision, the Board
of Education for USD 365
approved the sale of the recently abandoned Longfellow
elementary facility to the
Anderson County Historical
Society during the regular
meeting. The board sold the
facility to the organization for
the price of $1 with the stipulation that should the society
ever decide to sell the building
if the organization disbanded,
the building must be offered
for sale to the school district
for the same selling price.

USD 365 School board members saw a design and cost
estimate from architects last
week on a new track facility at Anderson County Junior
Senior High School and heard
from a Westphalia patron that
the project would take too
many resources away from the
district as a whole in the face of
a much-tightened budget. The
architectural firm outlined
the design of the site with five
different versions of an eightlane, all-weather facility with
costs ranging from $697,825
to $932,325. Bill Pracht of
Westphalia asked board members how they decided that
construction of a track was the
highest priority among the districts raining infrastructure
needs. The bond issue would
have constructed a new $2.4

replace the aging Westphalia
building.

Fire decimated the iconic
Welda Steakhouse. Officials
say the source of the fire
inside the former steakhouse
remains undetermined, but it
is believed to be a lightning
strike. The fire occurred about
5:30 am during a thunderstorm,
and the structures were fully
engulfed by the time firefighters arrived. The building consisted of two structures and an
attached shed and was known
as the Circle B Steakhouse for
many years. Former owners
in Ottawa said the building
had been sold two years ago
and had primarily been used
for storage. Joy Brownrigg
said she and her late husband, Dean, purchased the
building around 1972 to open
a steakhouse, but the building had existed in Welda for
many years before that. It had
been previously known as the
Hilltop Tavern.

BILL…
FROM PAGE 1
who commit crimes. Supporters of
the bill said it brings back accountability. Opponents see it as unforgiving and regressive.
Yet state Rep. Carl Maughan,
a Colwich Republican, called SB
367 an unmitigated disaster and
called for it to be repealed and
completely reworked.
Im not in the camp of just lock
them all up, Maughan said. But
the current system under 367 is
clearly not working and this tinkering around the edges seems to
be a problem.
Both supporters and opponents
of the bill generally agreed on a
need to find alternatives to criminal detention.
Lawmakers are pushing forward with expanding access to
juvenile crisis centers. They would
keep kids in mental health crises
out of detention facilities and get
them psychiatric help. They are
generally a short-term solution. A
bill offering a slight tweak in state
law would allow those centers to
accept children with behavioral
health problems rather than just
kids with mental health needs.
Behavioral health still includes
mental health, but it would allow
centers to take in children without
a psychiatric diagnosis. Kansas
has a pool of money set aside to
help create the centers, but the $6
million has remained untouched
for over five years.
The bill would allow for kids
to be detained on probation violations for 24 hours for a first offense,
48 hours for a second offense and
up to 15 days for a third or subsequent offense even if those
offenses were technical violations
or falling into contempt of court.
It also doubles the time a juvenile can be detained per case,
bumping it up to 90 days.
Jen Christie, who has two
decades of criminal justice experience, opposed the bill and said
putting kids in detention is counterproductive. She said youth who
were detained were 11% more likely to drop out of school, twice as
likely to need public assistance
and that 24% of kids detained in
Oregon were suicidal.
She said involvement in the
criminal justice system only
makes someone more likely to
interact with it again. She worries
detention for probation violations
will trip kids up unnecessarily.
Detaining someone causes
trauma, Christie said. It causes
psychological damage. It causes
mental health damage, and it does
not improve situations.
Mike Fonkert, campaign director for the Kansas Appleseed
Center for Law and Justice, said
the bill will mean more Kansas
kids being locked up.
Fonkert said he would support
the change in law if it removed its
provisions around detention. The
bill frees up money to invest in
more kids, expands behavioral services and makes the Department
for Children and Families and
Kansas Department of Corrections
work more closely together
including the ability to share confidential information.
Fonkert said the bill throws
together too many changes. He
wants to see language around
detention taken and studied more
closely.
Look at facts, evidence and
the wide breadth of research that
exists on these topics, he said.
Fonkert said the changes
approved six years ago are working. A vast majority of kids as
high as 90% in one estimation
get community programming. But
there is growing concern that children are being left out.
Changing state law to bring
more penalties has support from
district attorneys, judges and multiple foster care agencies. They
told legislators that youth justice
reform brought by Senate Bill 367
has created inadvertent gaps in
the states response to behavioral
health and the youth justice system.
Supporters of the bill said kids
have too few consequences, are
less likely to enroll in services that
can help like substance abuse
treatment and even face a higher
risk of being charged as adults.
They argue the existing law and
its limits on the amount of time
they can be disciplined locked
up or some other consequence is
too soft. That, they say, can prompt
kids to laugh off possible penalties.

Judd of Judd Ranch told commissioners individual land
owners should still have rights

commissioners owed it to them
to protect those private rights.
The debate over wind farms
has raged across rural Kansas
for more than a decade now,
pitting opponents who say the
projects amount to little more
than government pork barrel
inefficiency and a blight to the
skyline against others who say
payments from tower leases
allow them a revenue source
and the ability to survive in
their farming and ranching
operations.
The Franklin County decision followed several other
wind project denials in the
area.
Anderson
County
Commissioners enacted preventative zoning restrictions
in 2015 to stop a wind project in the eastern area of the
county. Linn County two years
ago enacted a moratorium
against the projects. Osage
County Commissioners in
October voted to adopt a policy forbidding wind or other
alternate energy projects in
the midst of a project proposed
near Burlingame. Opponents
are also fighting a project
under development in Harvey
County.
NextEra
officials
had
not responded by press time
Monday in regard to whether the Franklin County move
would halt the Franklin/
Douglas county project. For
now at least, Franklin County
officials seem to have their

It doesnt seem like its

at all, said commissioner Roy
Dunn in making the motion
denying the tower project. Its

Kansas Legislature
considers bill to modify
sports competition
BY PAT RICHARDSON
THE SENTINEL
TOPEKA Last year, the Kansas State High School
Athletics Association which governs all high school
sports in Kansas adopted new rules intended to level
competition between public and private schools in the
state.
Earlier this month, the Kansas State House of
Representatives Education Committee heard testimony on a bill HB 2003 which would make those rules
official in the 2023-24 school year.
The bill would amend section 1, paragraph 5 of
K.S.A. 72-114 to read Establish a system for the classification of member high schools according to student
attendance and other factors. (Emphasis in original.)
Proponents say the changes are necessary to correct
an imbalance between public and private schools in
athletic competition.
As the Sentinel reported in May of 2022, in the 20202021 school year, private schools in Kansas while
accounting for less than 8% of all high schools won
36% of all state championships in which they were
eligible to compete, and a review of the history of state
championships shows a decidedly private school flavor
among the leaders in Classes 2A-5A.
As a result, KSHSAA adopted a proposal that would
move a handful of private schools to a higher classification through the use of a multiplier toward the
schools enrollment.
The KSHSAA sports competition proposal
The proposal is three-phased; however, the second and
third phases are not activated unless the first one is
reached.
Championships Won: If a school has earned 10 championships in any sport over a 5-year period, a multiplier
of .3 is added
Location: If a smaller school is located within a 5A or
6A district, another .3 is added. If located within a 3A or
4A district, add .15. The purpose is to dissuade private
schools from recruiting public school athletes.
Socio-economic: If a private school has fewer than 20%
of its student body receiving free- or reduced-price
lunches, another .15 is added to its population total
as it signifies a more prosperous school with greater
resources to support its athletic and scholastic programs.
Bill proponent Rep. Tim Johnson, a Johnson County
Republican, said the bill is not about any particular
rule but rather designed to codify what KSHSAA had
gone through extensive vetting for.
Johnson, who is both a teacher and a coach, said
KSHSAA had studied a number of plans to correct
what had been seen as a competitive sports imbalance
and noted the KSHSAA board, a majority of the 355
KSHSAA member schools, and the state board of education had all voted in favor of the proposed rule changes
the bill would make possible.

I just went outside to take
my dogs out watchng the

bright things over Garnett.
I live on the outskirts of
Garnett. They arent stars. I
dont know what they are,
they arent humming around
either, they were just stationary. And then last night there
were four of them. Someone
needs to be investigating this
and find out whos spying on
who, and thank God I wear

This is for the person a few
weeks ago who was upset
about not being on the
worship team at church.
Absolutely the Bible tells
us to make a joyful noise
whether were good at music
or not. I sat next to a guy
Sunday who was horribly off
key when he sang, but it was
wonderful praise before God.
I wouldnt want him to be one
of those leading the music
though. Being a leader is like
being the front tire on a car.

you dont want to be the one
draqging the others off the

and said never again to authoritarian mandates and shutdowns.
Americans want common
sense from their leaders, but in
Washington, the Biden administration is doubling down on
crazy.
President Biden inherited
the fastest economic recovery
on record. The most secure
border in history. Cheap abundant, home-grown energy.
Fast-rising wages. A rebuilt
military. And a world that was
stable and at peace. But over
the last two years, Democrats
destroyed it all.
Despite Democrats trillions in reckless spending and
mountains of debt, we now
have the worst border crisis in
American history.
As a mom, my heart breaks
for every parent who has lost a
son or daughter to addiction.
100,000 Americans a year are
now killed from drug overdoses, largely from fentanyl
pouring in across our southern
border. Yet the Biden administration refuses to secure the
border and save American
lives.
And after years of Democrat
attacks on law enforcement
and calls to defund the police,
violent criminals roam free,
while law-abiding families live
in fear.
Beyond our border, from
Afghanistan to Ukraine, from
North Korea to Iran, President
Bidens weakness puts our
nation and the world at risk.
And the Presidents refusal
to stand up to China, our most
formidable adversary, is dangerous and unacceptable.
President Biden is unwilling
to defend our border, defend
our skies, and defend our people. He is unfit to serve as
commander in chief.
And while you reap the consequences of their failures, the
Biden administration seems
more interested in woke fantasies than the hard reality
Americans face every day.
Most Americans simply want
to live their lives in freedom
and peace, but we are under
attack in a left-wing culture
war we didnt start and never
wanted to fight.
Every day, we are told that
we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags, and worship their false idols, all while
big government colludes with
Big Tech to strip away the most
American thing there isyour
Freedom of speech.
Thats not normal. Its crazy,
and its wrong.
Make
no
mistake:
Republicans will not surrender this fight. We will lead with
courage and do whats right,
not whats politically correct
or convenient.
Republicans believe in an
America where strong families
thrive in safe communities.
Where jobs are abundant, and
paychecks are rising. Where
the freedom our veterans
shed their blood to defend is
the birthright of every man,
woman, and child.
These are the principles Republican governors
are fighting for. And in
Washington under the leadership of Senate Republicans and
Speaker Kevin McCarthy, we
will hold the Biden administration accountable.

I sit is my alma mater, Little
Rock Central High. As a student there, I will never forget

If we seize this moment
together, America can once
again be the land of the free
and home of the brave.
During my two and a half
years at the White House, I
traveled on every foreign trip
with the President.
A trip I will never forget was
on December 25, 2018.
My husband Bryan and I
had just cleaned up wrapping
paper that had been shoved
into every corner of our house
thanks to our three kids, when
I had to walk out on my own
familys Christmas, unable to
tell them where I was going,
because the place Id be traveling to was so dangerous they
didnt want anybody to know
that the President was going to
be on the ground for even a few
hours.
We boarded Air Force One
in total darknessthere were
no lights on the plane, no lights
on the runway, our phones
and computers shut down and
turned in. We were going completely off the grid.
Nearly twelve hours later in
the pitch-black of the night,
we landed in the war-torn part
of western Iraq. It was again a
similar sceneno lights on the
plane, no lights on the runway.
The only light you could see
was coming from about a mile
away in a dining hall where
hundreds of troopswho were
in the fight against ISIS had
gathered, expecting to celebrate Christmas with senior
military leadership from
around the region.
They had absolutely no idea
that the President and First
Lady were about to walk into
that room.
And when they didit was a
sight, and a scene, and a sound
I hope I never forget.
The room erupted. Men and
women from every race, religion, and region, every political party, every demographic
you can imagine started chanting in perfect unison over and
over and over again, USA,
USA, USA.
It was a perfect picture of
what makes our country great.
One of the young soldiers
yelled from the back, Mr.
President, I reenlisted in the
military because of you. The
President said, and son, I am
here because of you.
Shortly after, that young soldier came up to me and said,
Sarah, you have a tough job. I
told him What I do is nothing.
You take bombs and bullets.
Thats a tough job.
And in a moment that I
know Ill cherish for the rest
of my life, that soldier reached
up, and pulled the Brave Rifles
Patch he wore on his shoulder
and placed it into my hand, a
sign of ultimate respect, and
said, Sarah, we are in this
together.
Overwhelmed with emotion
and speechless, I just hugged
him, with tears in my eyes and
a grateful heart for our heroes
who keep us free.
That young man and everyone who has served before him,
all of those who serve alongside him, and the thousands we
know who will be called upon
to serve after him, deserve to
know they have a country and
community back home doing
our part in the fight for freedom.
America is great because we
are free.
But today, our freedom is
under attack, and the America
we love is in danger.
President Biden and the
Democrats have failed you.
Its time for a change.
A New Generation of
Republican leaders is stepping
up, not to be caretakers of the
status quo, but to be changemakers for the American people.
We know not what the
future holds, but we know who
holds the future in His hands.
And with God as our witness,
we will show the world that
America is still the place where
freedom reins and liberty will
never die.
Thank you. God bless you.
And God Bless America.

K-State researchers embark on
study to preserve prairie health
By Pat Melgares, K-State
Research and Extension news
service
MANHATTAN, Kan. Kansas
State University researchers have launched a study
to improve the effectiveness
of controls on woody plants,
an effort they say will help to
preserve the health of native
grasslands in Kansas.
Carol Baldwin, a range specialist in K-States Agriculture,
Natural
Resources
and
Community Vitality unit, said
woody plants a term that
indicates plants with hard,
wood stems are encroaching
on the Kansas prairie, creating
a threat to wildlife habitat and
livestock production. In the
event of a prairie fire, woody
plants add to the intensity of
the blaze.
The scale of the problem
is large and is growing at an
ever-increasing pace, Baldwin
said. Individual landowners
have made efforts to reduce
woody plants but these have
been insufficient to reverse
the overall trend toward the
increased conversion of native
grass to undesirable woodlands.
In 2022, the Natural
Resources and Conservation
Service awarded a three-year
grant for $843,000 to a K-State
team led by Baldwin to address
the issue. The team includes
K-State range management
specialist Keith Harmoney,
agricultural economist Gabe
Sampson and wildlife specialist Drew Ricketts.
The researchers will focus
their work on three grassland
regions in Kansas: the Flint
Hills (eastern Kansas), the
Gypsum Hills (central) and the
Smoky Hills (north-central).
Old-growth Great Plains
rangelands were developed
with frequent fire, Baldwin
said. Fire kept woody brush
and trees from dominating the
landscape and led to the development of the grass-dominated
prairie biome, with its unique
collection of plants, animals
and ecosystem services.
As an example, the Flint
Hills are home to more than
150 bird, 40 reptile and amphibian and 35 mammal species.
It provides grazing land for
bison and cattle. And, numerous opportunities for hiking
and other recreational activities exist throughout the nearly 10,000 square mile region.
The prairies diversity,
though, is under threat by
an increase in woody plants,
according to Baldwin.
To assist in reversing
the trend of woodland expansion, this project will provide
outreach education, fill key
knowledge gaps and provide
the NRCS with an evaluation
of proven and novel approaches, Baldwin said.
Among the outcomes,
Baldwin said the researchers
hope to encourage broader
use of soil health practices,
improve habitat for wildlife
and improve forage and grazing distribution on rangelands.
Because native grassland
is used for recreational activities, Baldwin said the projects
will also aim to reach non-agriculture and recreationist landowners with information on
managing rangeland.
Woody plant control is just
one part of maintaining biomescale integrity, and other
management practices can
enhance or decrease the benefits, Baldwin said. We hope
that promoting the efforts of
landowners who have removed
woody species will inspire others to act, as well.
The project is expected to
last through Sept. 2025.
