Natural gas price spike blows city budget
Exploding prices, frigid
temps mean $1.5 million hit
to coffers in February alone
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT City officials were reeling over the weekend from a spike in
the price of natural gas tied to the frigid temperatures that broadsided U.S.
demand for gas and left cities across
the middle of the country encouraging
customers to conserve as much as possible during whats thought to be the
most extended cold snap since 1979.
An overwhelming demand for natural gas across the midwest and mountain states and apparent mechanical
problems at wells that dropped production resulted in unprecedented
price hikes to the citys gas supplier
Kansas Municipal Gas Agency, which
also supplies 48 other member cities.
Garnett City Manager Chris Weiner
said prices exploded from some $3
per unit a week ago to over $300 per
unit over the weekend. Prices at some
energy monitoring websites showed
prices going to $500 per unit in some
places.
Weiner said the price shock wont
affect local customers directly for
this month because city gas rates are
set by city ordinance, but that could
change.
At this point, the price hike on natural gas will not impact our customers
monthly bills for this month, Weiner
told the Review yesterday. Our rate
is set by law at a flat $8.00 per MMBtu.
While our cost has grown exponentially up to over $300 per MMBtu, our
customers will not have to absorb any
of those costs this month.
But Weiner said some rate increase
might be necessary, because the
impact of the price spike had hit the
city to tune of $1.5 million in Feburary
alone about the amount budgeted for
city gas purchases for the remainder
of 2021.
Weiner said the Garnett Recreation
Center would be available to anyone
who encountered furnace or heating problems during the dangerous
weather. The building is not staffed
24/7, but Weiner said residents could

City, county commissions counteroffer eco devo exec in debate over pay
Joint meeting lays out
offer that splits request
for this year, looks to 22
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Garnett and
Anderson County Commissioners
made a salary counter offer last
week they hoped would retain the
countys economic development
director, but the offer may be too
little too late to keep the department as is.
Commissioners offered half
the requested raise to Anderson
County Development Agency
Executive
Director
Julie
Turnipseed for this year with
plans to make the full amount
next year, after a joint meeting
that brought up debates about
adherence to
budget policy
and the ever
debatable question of successful economic
development.
City manager
Chris Weiner
however told the
Turnipseed
Review Monday
he thought it
was unlikely Turnipseed would
accept the offer. Turnipseed
did not return an email from
the Review for a statement on
Monday.
Turnipseed received a $1,900
cost of living raise January 1
of this year, but subsequently
requested an additional $16,000
increase which was endorsed by
the ACDA committee in their
request to government officials.
The City of Garnett and Anderson
County jointly fund the ACDA
budget. The topic was the primary
focus of a joint city/county meeting set Friday for that discussion
after the topic was broached with
the individual entities in recent
weeks.
Garnet Mayor Jody Cole initially made a motion to award
Turnipseed her requested raise
and was seconded by city commissioner Cody Gettler, but that
vote failed 4-2. The counter offer
vote eventually passed, committing each government entity to an

Florida water plant hack prompts local questions
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 2-16-2021 / DANE HICKS
Cars lined up at the Covid-19 vaccination station in Garnett on Wednesday, as officials gave
the first publicly-available shots to county residents 75 and older. Workers gave about 180
vaccinations which will require a follow up shot in several weeks.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The citys vintage
water treatment plant isnt highly
susceptible to a computer hack
like the one that targeted a wastewater plant in Olsmar, Fla., last
week, but the new plant under
development in Garnett will use
more tech-related operations.
Garnett City Manager Chris
Weiner told a joint meeting of
the city and Anderson County
Commissioners last week the
cyber attack that temporarily
overloaded the Florida plant with
sodium hydroxide Feb. 5 wasnt
a concern presently in Garnett,
since the plant doesnt use software interfaces in its operation.
We are still susceptible to
a lesser degree as we have an
internet connection, Weiner
said, however, the SCADA system, which is the monitoring
and adjustment brain of the system is not nearly as automated
or web-connected as most are,
which reduces our risk.
But with more capability in the
new plant come more risks, he
said.
Our new plant will have all
of these automation features
which while incredibly useful,
will require more robust security
measures. Weiner said some of
that security will be provided by
software providers, but some will
be the reponsibility of city water
department staff.
An operator at the Florida
plant caught the attack in process and rectified it, according to
media reports. Sodium hydroxide
is used in drain cleaners and in
small doses to help remove metals
from water in the treatment process. The plant apparently used
an outdated Windows application
with easy-to-hack password protection on part of the system.
Weiner told commissioners the
new plant would use advanced
technology in its operations and
would allow operators to make
adjustments by phone apps or
home computers. He said priorities included ensuring computers
and devices that are accessing the
plants SCADA system remotely
are up-to-date with their software
versions/patches, using more
strict verification measures such
as two-factor authentication with

Legislature to consider bill to keep
biological men out of womens sports
Local coaches mum, but
former ACHS, KU athlete
says bill is important step
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Kansas legislators will
begin a review of a bill introduced
by a state senator from Sedgwick
County aimed at blunting what
some see as President Bidens support for biological men who identify
as female to compete in high school
and college womens sports.
The concern over Bidens language in the Executive Order
on Preventing and Combating
Discrimination on the Basis
of Gender Identity or Sexual
Orientation, signed January 20
amid a flurry of other executive
orders since he took office, has
resulted in numerous state legislative efforts aimed at ensuring
competitions in high schools and
colleges remain sexually segregated. Among the anti-discrimination
language in Bidens order is the
sentence Children should be able
to learn without worrying about
whether they will be denied access
to the restroom, the locker room, or
school sports.
Coaches of womens team sports
at Anderson County Junior-Senior
High School, Crest and Central
Heights did not respond to an email
from the Review last week seeking
comment on the bill. But a former
KU athlete with ties to USD 365 says
states need to adopt their own measure to head off whats basically an
invasion of womens sports.
Im glad to see Kansas take that
step, said Callie Hicks, who com-
peted in cross country at ACHS as a
freshman before winning the womens 6A state pole vault championship in 2015 and 2016 as a Lawrence
Free State Firebird and vaulting
three years at the University of
Kansas. She said the alternative
could be the decimation of some
womens sporting events because
women wouldnt go out for some
sports if they have to compete
against biological men.
Who wants to compete for 4th or
5th place?, Hicks said.
Idaho last summer was the
first state to adopt similar legislation. Senator Rene Erickson
from the 30th District introduced
the Kansas Fairness in Womens
Sports Act Tuesday through the
senate committee on Federal and
State Affairs. The bill lays out defiSEE BILL ON PAGE 5A

PAY…
FROM PAGE 1
City manager Chris Weiner
characterized Turnipseeds salary request as a market adjustment to a level commensurate
with what professionals in her
position earn, considering her
salary was on the low end at
her hiring during the city and
countys first foray into funding a fulltime economic development director when she was
hired two years ago.
Commissioners debated the
request based on their annual
budgeting for 2021 having concluded in August/September
of 2020, and the fact that
Turnipseed participated in her
departments budget exercise
at the time. City commissioner Greg Gwin said Turnipseed
was remiss in not making the
request during that budget
cycle, and couldnt agree with
the mindset that government
should just throw money at the
problem and hand the bill to
the taxpayers.
First District Commissioner
Les McGhee, who sits on the
ACDA board, addressed criticisms that Turnipseed had
recruited no new employers or
industries, saying those payoffs took time to accomplish
and that the past years pandemic had presented a unique
challenge.
Can we hold up a yard stick
and tell what shes done? No
not yet, McGhee said. As far
as the effort thats been put into
it, theres been a lot of effort put
into it.
McGhee said the counter
offer was a good faith effort to
recognize Turnipseeds value
and balance it against overall
budget issues.
In light of having already
set our budgets, gosh, were trying, McGhee said. We do not
want to lose her.

How to protect elders
from frigid winter weather
Chilling temperatures, ice
and snow can be a nuisance,
but for older adults, the winter
months can be downright dangerous. Use these cold weather
tips for seniors to ensure your
loved ones stay safe and warm.
7 Winter Weather Tips for
Seniors
1. Prevent Hypothermia in
Elderly Loved Ones
Generally, seniors and cold
weather can be a dangerous
mix. A report published by the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) shows
that older adults have an elevated risk of cold-related death.
Those age 75 and older are particularly susceptible to cold
weather because they tend to
have less body fat, less efficient circulation and a slower
metabolism.
2. Encourage Hydration
Seniors are especially prone
to dehydration because they
tend to eat and drink less than
younger people, thus they consume less water. In general,
people feel less thirsty during
the winter and do not drink
as much fluid as they should.
Cold, dry air also contributes
to moisture loss, so make sure
your elderly loved one is drinking consistently.
3. Prepare for Ice and Snow
to Minimize Fall Risks
Sidewalks slick with ice and
snow pose a serious falling hazard for an elderly person. Make
sure that your loved ones
porch, driveway, steps, sidewalk, etc. have been thoroughly salted and shoveled. If they
are at all unsteady on their
feet, its best to have someone
else handle these tasks, like a
neighbor or a hired service.
4. Make a Disaster Kit
Winter storms can be fierce
enough to knock down power
lines and confine seniors to
their homes. It is essential to
make sure your loved one is
equipped with a disaster kit
to help them get through these
times. Each kit should include
enough nonperishable food and
water for several days (at least
3 gallons of water per person
per day), a can opener, a few
days worth of any necessary
medication, a flashlight, a battery-powered radio, extra batteries, and first-aid essentials.
5. Be Smart About
Space Heaters
While these devices can provide much-needed warmth
during the colder months,
precautions must be taken
so these sources of heat dont
become health hazards. If
a senior uses a gas-powered
heater or generator, make sure
there is at least one functional
carbon monoxide detector in
their home. If they use electric heaters, inspect all power
cords for fraying and get rid of
any damaged devices.
6. Bundle Up
Mittens, scarves, sweaters,
hats and coats are a few musthave articles of clothing for
seniors living in colder climates. Even when an elderly
person is indoors, they should
be dressed in warm, comfortable layers so they can easily
take items off if theyre too hot
or put more on if they are too
cold.
Use Electric Blankets
With Caution
Electric blankets can keep
seniors toasty, but they must
be used very carefully to avoid
burns, electric shocks and even
fires. Any electric blankets or
mattress pads that are more
than a few years old may need
to be replaced.

REMEMBRANCES
Colony Christian Church A memory with a lesson
– Kingdom Victory
Howard Reiter gave the
Communion Meditation over
"Beginning Again". In the 1929
Rose Bowl, Roy Riegels of UC
Berkley got the ball and ran
it 69 yards in the wrong direction! Then got tackled by his
own player. He was dubbed
"Wrong Way Riegels" after
that. His coach told him, "Roy,
get up and go back out there
the game is only half over."
Our failures don't define us.
Others may not see changes in
us, but God does. If we confess
our sins and seek redemption
thru Christ, we are no longer
defined by our past. It's never
too late to start again. (Ref:
Colossians 1:14)
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon "Kingdom Victory".
Just like the disciples, we all
long to see God's Kingdom,
and we are tired of the enemy's
intrusion into our lives. But
when will the Kingdom come?
No one knows the day or time,
but it will be unmistakable.
When Jesus comes back, you
won't be able to look away, or
turn your back, or reject exactly who he is. You will either be
for him or against him. But in
the meantime, pledge your allegiance to Jesus and become one
of his ambassadors. We have so
many resources at our fingertips to help us. Most important
is his Holy Word, the Bible;
but we also have apps for our
phones and tablets, our church
family, the Holy Spirit to keep
us connected, etc. The Kingdom
of Jesus is not just of this earth,
the here and now, but an eternal Kingdom. He gives us the
example of how to live a holy
life while we wait, how to walk
in righteousness, and how to
shine his light in the darkness
for others to see. To build the
Kingdom for him, we must surrender our will to his thru the
indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
We don't know when he'll come
back to claim those that belong
to him, but be ready! There
is Kingdom work to be done!

Its Mid-February and we
are locked into a cold spell that
appears will last another week
or so, not unlike another time I
remember well. There are days
in our life that will never be
forgotten. One such day has
been bouncing in and out of my
thoughts. Here is the story over
the many years that have passed
and the lesson I learned.
It was January 8, 1964 cold
and snowy just like today. This
was my thirteenth birthday and
as I made my way to the mail box
I was remembering my previous
birthdays, full of joy with cards
containing cash and really good
messages. I was not ready for
what happened next. I opened
the box and nothing for me. This
was odd, not everyone could have
forgotten. I went on up to the
house and as the evening wore on
I waited for some explanation. As
time passed my aunts and uncles
began to call and wish me happy
birthday. Then I began to realize
what was going on. I was facing adulthood square on. I think
what hurt the most was the loss of
that personal touch and those few
words of encouragement provided on the card. This year on my
birthday, that day of fifty some
years ago came back to me clear
as a bell.
All of my relatives have since
passed on from this world and I
remember them with fondness.
That day began a process that
remains a work in process to
this day. Perhaps the Apostle
Paul said it best. When I was
a child I talked like a child, I
thought as a child, I reasoned like
a child. When I became a man,
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
I put childish ways behind me.
(1st Cor. 13:11) As I have lived the
ebb and flow of life I have realized success and failure at putting childish things behind me.
As adults when we act in childish ways, criticizing one another,
being jealous, holding grudges
and on and on we are lapsing
into childhood.The difference is
as children we had this amazing
God given ability to forgive each
other that we now seem to lack as
adults. What is worse people who
have even a shred of this ability
left are often seen as weak and
that irritates society in general.
Jesus had much to say about
forgiveness. In the Sermon on
the Mount Jesus says. For if
you forgive men when they sin
against you, your heavenly will
forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father
will not forgive your sins. (Mat.
6:14-15) If you want to measure
your growth as an adult this is
the best measuring rod you will
find. Think about it.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 16, 2021
OPINION
Protect womens sports with law
It is woke culture presenting itself not as a
serious social issue but more like an old Jerry
Seinfeld episode of bizarro world, this idea
that men have some right to compete in womens sports because they want the world to see
them as women.
Actually its not about sexuality at all. For the
new woke world bullies, its about power.
But states with basic gumption not to mention a commitment to women and the concept of
fair competition are putting a stop to such nonsense, like the Kansas Legislatures upcoming
consideration of a bill that would make it illegal
for a biological man to compete in any womens
sports at the high school or college level in the
Sunflower State.
Lawmakers should make this bill into law,
and they should do so post haste.
Its hard to imagine reasoning for such a garish injustice in places like Connecticut, which
have assailed womens sports with such an
overpowering invasion of clandestine Y chromosome. The extremist liberals now pushing for
the sublimation of straight culture in favor of
blanket acceptance of all manner of alt-sexuality
used to be, in their former not-quite-so hyper
woke days, fierce advocates for womens rights.
The rabid effort among these types to force the
world to embrace alt-sex lifestyles through the
co-opting of media, culture and entertainment
has finally turned its guns on those whose
claims for equity were wholly legitimate.
Now, those same women and their daughters
are under attack by a Frankenstein alt-sex culture which shames them as bigots and genderphobes for the audacity of seeking to preserve a
competitive strata that allows them to succeed
within clearly defined categories of biological
science.
It is indeed science, not bias or hatefulness, that separates women and men and their
degrees of competition. The simple facts that
have sufficed as explanation for thousands of
years of human culture must apparently now be
revisited for the benefit of modern woke-oids:
Women are women; men are not.
And not just physically with differences in
size, weight, muscle and tendon strength, flexibility and other finite comparisons. Research
from Stanford School of Medicine reveals a host
of behavioral differences as well that predate
hormone therapies but which play into psychological aspects of competition. Stanfords Sex,
Gender & Medicine from 2017 illustrates that
women excel in several measures of verbal
ability pretty much all of them, except for
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
verbal analogies. Womens reading comprehension and writing ability consistently exceed that
of men, on average. They outperform men in
tests of fine-motor coordination and perceptual
speed. Theyre more adept at retrieving information from long-term memory.
Men, on average, can more easily juggle
items in working memory. They have superior
visuospatial skills: Theyre better at visualizing what happens when a complicated two- or
three-dimensional shape is rotated in space, at
correctly determining angles from the horizontal, at tracking moving objects and at aiming
projectiles.
In reality debates about competitive factors
arent even so central to the argument. It is
instead the desire by those on the extreme left
to expand their footprint in modern society to
force mainstream culture to accept and adapt
to values it deems unacceptable which powers the transgender sports issue and so many
others. Forcing the culture to acquiesce has
nothing to do with the virtues of unity, fairness
and getting along together to avoid animus; its
about the power to force that change. One need
only look at the venomous juggernaut of social
media cancel culture the lefts weapon du jour
to see how it attempts to destroy those of any
profile who try to speak against their gospel.
With no defense of womens sports to be
expected from the federal level under the Biden
administration, the only line of defense will be
state legislatures.
States have to confront this cultural effort
from the political left, which is willing to sacrifice women on the altar of woke alt-sex acceptance. Women, it seems, must stand up for themselves all over again. ###

I am really perplexed regarding the rolling
blackouts scheduled for this evening. Why
dont they just turn on some ice-covered windmills? Seems like that would more than cover
the shortage given that there are utility and
regulatory plans to replace more and more coal
generation with wind and solar. Just makes me
go hmmm…
Mr. Hicks, I dont understand. We have an
abundant natural gas supply, so we switch to
coal burning plants to bring natural gas that we
also use to heat our homes so we can be green
and stop global warming. It gets really cold, and
now we are short of natural gas and we are cold
because we cant heat our homes with natural
gas. We want to be diverse, unless it is with
energy sources.
To the person who called the Phone Forum
Why charge more, give public less notice?
COMMENTARY
DAN THALMANN, WASHINGTON COUNTY NEWS
As an alternative, the reality of publishing
notices on local websites is that the local governments would be hiding them there, instead
of publishing them for everyone to see.
Who would actually spend time tracking
down the various government websites to
find the page with the legal publications? In
trying to find that information, you might
want to look at the local Washington County
page. If youve never been on it before, youll
need to be sure to get the right one. Did you
know there are 30 Washington Counties in the
United States, each with their own website?
Then youll need to switch over to the
school district website. Then the city website. Maybe even a township website? Want
to compare your school districts tax levy to
the neighboring district? Start Googling and
be ready to spend some time staring at your
screen, because it could be a never-ending
search.
In the newspaper, that information, which
includes budgets, financial statements, ordinance changes and much more, can be found
in one easily-accessible publication, right next
to the news you might be reading about your
kids sports team or a story on the county
commission or anything within the easily-consumable 10-16 pages of news each week. Tax
information cannot be buried or hidden when
you can quickly flip through the pages of a
newspaper from beginning to end.
It is also impossible to change a legal publication when it is printed in ink on paper. It
becomes a permanent record. While I dont
believe any of our current local government
employees would purposefully change a legal
public notice if it were published online, it is
very easy to change digital files and there is
plenty of precedent around America showing
illegal activities among government employees trying to hide things.
Do you want to keep your taxes down?
Make sure your elected officials (on all levels)
know they should keep public notices in the
newspaper and never allow website publication as an alternative. We need to keep the fiscal business of local government in the public
eye, rather than hiding them on obscure websites. These legal publications are checks on
SEE THALMAN AT RIGHT
Dont write the Republican Party off quite yet
After losing a national election, its natural
that a political party goes through a period of
soul-searching and internal turmoil.
The Republican Party, though, has taken it
to another level.
President Donald Trump brought most of
the GOP along for the ride during his conspiracy-fueled attempt to overturn the election.
His loyalists have been scouring the landscape searching for Republicans to censure or
primary for insufficient loyalty to him.
The most famous Republican House freshman mused not too long ago about a space
laser starting the 2018 California wildfires.
And Trump has maintained his hold on the
party seemingly effortlessly.
This dismaying chapter has led to declarations that the party is doomed or calls to split
it up.
A former chair of the Washington state
GOP wrote in an op-ed in The Seattle Times
urging, as the headline put it, Lets form
a new Republican Party. This prompted a
Chris Cillizza item at CNN headlined, Should
Republicans disband the GOP?
Theres been a spate of articles by erstwhile
Republicans announcing they are done with
the party.
Jonathan Last wrote a piece in The New
Republic titled: The Republican Party is
dead. It is the Trump cult now. Washington
Post columnist Kathleen Parker declared,
The party isnt doomed; its dead.

that represents roughly half the country and
is on the cusp of a majority in the House, tied

If we are going to consider this geographically diverse collection of officeholders -whose careers in many instances pre-date
Trump and will outlast him — a mere personality cult, the word cult has lost its meaning.
The fortunes of our political parties ebb and

they are deeply embedded institutions of our
public life.

There have been attempts by state legislators over the years to remove the requirements for local government entities to publish
legal notices in newspapers. For any elected
officials who claim to be dedicated to fiscal
responsibility and lower taxes, this is the
exact opposite of what they should be working
toward.
Recently, there was an idea proposed by one
legislator to allow county commissions, school
boards and city councils to publish their notices on government websites. An effort like this
is usually pitched as a cost-saving measure for
these local governments.
I acknowledge these boards do not like
running these notices, because most of them
just see the price tag and dont understand
the principal of why they should be printed.
Others just as soon prefer to keep their tax
increases and government spending out of the
public eye.
I have heard local elected officials work
to avoid tax increases because they want
to avoid publishing legally-required notices
announcing the increase. So as a result of this
requirement and an aversion to it by council
and board members, taxpayers end up saving
money.
These legal publications are checks on local
government, meant in part to bring a heightened level of transparency to the expenditures
of your tax dollars. As a percentage of their
overall budget, the cost of publishing notices
is often totally irrelevant.

of a classic liberal wing with a more populist,
elemental conservatism.
Whats different about Trump is that he
represents the ascendance of the populist wing
after it had long been in a subordinate position
in the party. Even he, though, retained key
traditional policy priorities of the GOP, from
tax cuts and judges to religious liberty and
abortion.
That said, the party does need to get beyond
Trump, who is a three-time loser now — in
the 2018 midterms, in his 2020 reelection campaign, and in the Georgia special elections.
In electoral terms, all the winning stopped
circa November 2016.
It if feels now as though the post-Trump
GOP will never arrive, American politics
moves quickly. Richard Nixon resigned in
1974, leaving the GOP in utter disarray — and
yet Reagan won a landslide six years later. The
Tea Party sprang to life from nowhere in 2009
and had disappeared by 2016, subsumed into
the Trump phenomenon.
There will inevitably be an overwhelming
controversy in the Biden administration or a
crisis that moves us beyond the politics of the
Trump presidency and the immediate aftermath.
New issues will emerge, and there are plenty of talented, ambitious Republican politicians who think they are better suited to win
a presidential election and serve as president

local government, meant to bring a heightened
level of transparency to the expenditures of your
tax dollars.
If legislators want to make some changes,
theyd be better off requiring larger font sizes in
the public notices so they are more legible, and
even increasing the frequency of publication so
citizens have more of a chance to see the notices.
Ultimately, this is an effort to keep our own
hard-earned taxpayer money in our pockets by
putting a spotlight on government business and
spending. More awareness within our citizenry
allows for more accountability of our local elected officials and government employees.
Any argument by a legislator that this is a
cost-saving measure, is blatantly false and anyone claiming to be a fiscal conservative while
arguing against public notices in newspapers is
sabotaging their efforts to keep taxes low.

BILL…
nitions between womens and
mens sports at the high school
and college level in Kansas,
prevents biological males from
competing in womens sporting events, and provides for
aggrieved women athletes to
collect damages and attorneys
fees from sponsoring schools
and organizations which allow
the transgender law to be violated.
The law sets forth basic
scientific medical standards
for defining men from women
for the purpose of designated
sports competition.
A dispute regarding a students sex shall be resolved
by the school or post secondary educational institution
where such student attends
by requesting that the student
provide such students health
examination and consent form
or other statement signed by
such students personal healthcare provider that shall verify
the students biological sex,
the bill reads.
The bill is aimed at countermanding what conservatives
fear will be federal support for
a continuing move by men who
identify as woman to compete
in and dominate womens athletics. Numerous lawsuits have
been filed in relation to the
matter across the country. A

A southbound Missouri
Pacific train struck a pickup at a crossing in Greeley
Wednesday morning, damaging the truck. The Ford pickup, driven by Steve Miller,
of rural Greeley, was headed
over a crossing near the intersection of North Vine and

Fortunately the train was not
traveling at a fast speed at
the time of the accident. Miller
was taken to Anderson County

Mount McKinley, the
Oregon mountain, is sinking
with the weight of ages. Within
the last several years, when
the peak shrugged its rocky
shoulders in earthquakes, the
loftiest mountain in North
American has subsided at
least 500 feet from its original
altitude of 20,400 feet. Such was
the assertion of Herschel C.
Parker, geologist and mining
engineer, who first escalated
McKinley in 1912.

under Trump appointee Betsy
DeVoss, threatening the
removal of federal education
funding to the state due to
Connecticuts policy of allowing biological men to compete
as women. Such actions led to
initiatives in multiple states
to adopt boilerplate legislation
aimed at reserving womens
athletics for biological women.
Hicks said she believed the
bill would be widely supported by female competitors in
Kansas, but some might not
speak out publicly.
I think a lot of women athletes will support it, but they
wont want to get savaged on
social media by the liberals
and the LGBTQ community
if they say anything, Hicks
said. Especially at KU.
Hicks said the difference in
performance levels between
men and women in the pole
vault event was striking. She
said whereas a typical winning womens vault at the
college level might be in the
14-foot range, mens winning
marks could be over 18 feet
nearly 30 percent higher.
Other women athletes have
expressed concerns as well. In
an interview with BBC Radio,
tennis champion Martina
Navratilova suggested setting
up a separate provision from
the executive order to keep a
level playing field in womens
sports. The 18-time Womens

said the physical advantages
for transgender women competitors were pretty obvious. She told the network she
opposed an all-inclusive situation where trans men and
women, just based on their self
I.D., would be able to compete
with no mitigation, no rules

And that clearly would not be
a level playing field.

gardeners may find themselves
on a time crunch to take care
of their yards fruit trees once
the brutal cold temperatures
across much of the state subside.
Kansas State University
horticulture expert Ward
Upham said homeowners have
through March to prune fruit
trees. That task, he notes,
should only be done when the
wood is not frozen.
K-State
Research
and
Extensions bookstore has two
publications that will help gardeners get the job done right,
according to Upham, who suggests the following:
Pruning Apple and Pear
Trees.
Pruning Peaches, Plums,
Cherries and Other Stone
Fruits.
Both publications are free
and available online.
Uphams general recommendations for pruning fruit trees
include the following:
Take out broken, damaged
or diseased branches.
If two branches form a
narrow angle, prune one out.
Narrow angles are weak angles
and tend to break during wind
or ice storms.
Take out all suckers, or
branches that grow straight
up.
If two branches cross and
rub against one another, one
should be taken out.
Cut back or remove branches that are so low that they
interfere with harvest or pruning. If cutting back a branch,
always cut back to another
branch or bud; do not leave a
stub.
Cut back branches to
reduce the total size of the tree,
if necessary.
Thin branches on the interior of the tree.
Prune in the order above,
but stop once 30% of the tree
is removed, Upham said.
Pruning more may harm the
tree.

Expect the unexpected
– America Saves Week
MANHATTAN, Kan. If ever
there was a year to drive home
how important saving for
emergencies is, 2020 was it. The
sudden loss of income linked
to COVID-19 caught people off
guard. Businesses closed or
reduced operations, leading
to job losses or smaller paychecks.
That makes the messages
behind America Saves Week,
Feb. 22-26, that much more
compelling, said Kansas State
University personal financial management specialist,
Elizabeth Kiss.
America Saves is a national campaign to encourage
Americans to increase their
savings and decrease their
debt. America Saves Week is
a time to think about goals and
consider setting, or renewing, a
savings goal, Kiss said. Among
the weeks themes this year are
saving automatically and saving for the unexpected.
I really see those as going
well together, because saving
automatically is when you take
a set it and forget it approach,
which means you decide how
much you want to save and
it doesnt have to be huge
amounts; even saving $10 a
paycheck or $20, $25 or $50 a
paycheck will add up over time
(and) setting it aside on a regular basis, she said.
Saving automatically is relatively easy with most financial institutions, she added, but
people can set their own routines to make transfers themselves online or at the ATM.
Its helpful to have a separate
account a separate bucket
Kiss said, from ones daily
operating account and maybe
even separate from long-term
savings.
A common rule of thumb,
she said, has been to save 10%
of your income, but Kiss prefers to encourage people to save
what they can, especially for
emergency savings: Every
bit that you can save ahead of
time, probably thats less than
what youd have to put on a
credit card or have to borrow
from friends or family.
She cited the U.S. Financial
Capability Survey that said
about 52% of Kansans have a
rainy day fund that would
handle expenses for about
three months.
Thats another way to look
at how much to save, to consider building enough savings to
pay for three or more months
of expenses, which would help
in the event of job loss or if you
had to take time from work to
act as a caregiver or became ill
yourself.
Another approach is put
enough away to cover your
insurance deductibles. That
might be $1,000 for instance, for
a claim on your vehicle insurance. Deductible amounts vary
by type of insurance, so it is a
good idea to regularly review
your insurance policies for the
details.
Emergencies can run
the gamut, including an interruption in work, an illness, or
a natural disaster. A flooded
basement, for instance, may
require several days off work
to deal with the cleanup, plus
expenses related to the cleanup and possible replacement of
lost items.
Kiss said this topic hit home
for her family personally when
a tree fell on her husbands car.
Dealing with the financial
implications of a broken refrigerator, water heater or washing machine are easier if you
have an emergency or rainy
day fund.
Another way to think about
it is the sleep at night test,
she said. If you worry about
not being able to comfortably
respond and recover from
unexpected events, then taking
action to increase the amount
in your emergency fund could
be an important financial
goal.
Not sure where to squeeze
money for saving from your
budget? Kiss suggested taking a hard look at where your
money is going and identifying
what she calls spending leaks:
Those smallish regular purchases that we tend to make on
auto-pilot, such as routine purchases at the vending machine
or stopping for coffee or going
out for lunch on a regular
basis.
It doesnt mean we have to
eliminate them from our spending but think about other ways
to enjoy the feeling that comes
with making those purchases.
With lunch, for instance, consider eating out one fewer day
per week and instead making
your lunch. Take the money
even if its $5 and put it
in your emergency fund, she
said. Five dollars a week is
$20 a month. Over time, it adds
up.

than Donald Trump 2.0. The
incentives are for them to slipstream behind Trump for now,
but that wont always be true.
The temptation to splinter from
the GOP might be alluring to
elements of both the populists
and the Republican traditionalists, but this a dead end.
The Republican Party is the
only plausible electoral vehicle
for any sort of right-of-center
politics in America. It is worth
fighting over, and it will be.
That struggle is sure to be toxic

the fact that at the end of the

Osage City blows open game
late against Viking girls
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – Through three
quarters, the Central Heights
Lady Vikings more than held
their own against one of the top
5 teams in the state, Osage City
(14-1), before falling flat in the
fourth in a 41-18 defeat.
Osage City jumped out to a
12-7 lead after the first before
the Vikings defense stifled the
Osage City offense, limiting
them to just 2 points over the
next 8 minutes to cut the halftime deficit down to 14-12.
The defensive battle continued after halftime. Osage City
scored just 7 points in the third,
countered by 6 points by the
Vikings to seemingly set up a
thrilling fourth quarter with
Osage City clinging to a 21-18
lead heading into the final period.
No one could have predicted
how the fourth quarter would
unfold. Central Heights would
be held scoreless over the final
8 minutes. Osage City responded by nearly equaling the output for the first three periods
by tallying 20 points to pull
away for what would appear an
easy win.
Viking head coach Doug
North was obviously pleased
with how the first three quarters went before the collapse.
Roehl was one of just three
Vikings to score, leading the
way with 11 points.
We hung around with one
of the top teams in 3A for the
first 3 quarters as we were only
down by 3 heading into the
fourth quarter. I was disappointed that we let it get away
from us in the 4th quarter.
People are going to look at the
score and not realize how well
we played for 3 quarters. We've
played well in stretches and we
have to try and find a way to
put 32 minutes together. I was
really proud of our effort and
our fight this evening, North
stated.

Lady Bulldog wrestling
season comes to an end
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
BURLINGTON – In what was
just the second year of sanctioned wrestling for girls in
high schools across Kansas,
the Anderson County Bulldogs
only sent one wrestler to
regionals in Burlington last
week, numbers that likely
reflect a year of unknowns due
to the COVID pandemic.
Bulldog grappler, sophomore Bailey Clawsen, was 7-10
Lady Vikings cruise
to win over Crest
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – It was a lopsided affair last Tuesday as the
Central Heights girls cruised
past the Crest Lancers, 53-26.
The Lancers were held
scoreless over the first period
and found themselves trailing
15-0 heading into the second
period.
It was much of the same
in the second as the Vikings
erupted for 24 points while
Crest responded with 9 to make
the score going into halftime,
39-9.
The second half saw the pace
slow dramatically. The Lady
Vikings tallied 10 points in the
third and just 4 points in the
fourth while Crest notched 6
points in the third and 11 in the
fourth to account for the final.
Godderz was the only Lancer
in double figures with 11 points
on the evening.
Roehl led all scorers with 13
points and Compton scored 10
as they led the Vikings to the
victory.

Vikings overwhelm Crest
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – The Crest
Lancers had entered their contest on Tuesday night against
the Central Heights Vikings
as winners of 8 of their last
11 games but lost on the road
68-38.
Central Heights jumped out
to a 19-8 lead after the first
quarter and basically put the
game out of reach, heading into
intermission with a commanding 42-20 advantage.
Crest would limit Central
Heights to 26 points in the second half, 16 of them in the third
quarter and 10 in the fourth,
but only scored 17 of their own
over that same span.

on the season entering regionals and promptly lost her first
two matches to end her season.
In the first round, Clawsen
squared off with Layla Tindle
(16-2) of Fredonia and dropped
the match by Fall (1:45).
Clawsen would drop to
the consolation bracket and
in the second round would
drop her match by decision
(4-2) to Melissa Ortiz (9-10) of
Coffeyville-Field Kindley.
Crawford scored 23 points
for the Vikings to lead all scorers.
A trio of teammates also
hit double figures for Central
Heights. Burson tallied 13
points, Bones 11 and Rowan 10.
Kobey Miller paced Crest

Daily low temperatures in the
Garnett area were expected
to edge above single digits on
Friday, with highs in the 20s
and 30s after Wednesday.
Luke Jackson with the commodities and reporting firm
S&P Global told the Review
Sunday the price spike was
the result of a perfect storm
of cold weather that pumped
demand for natural gas and
cold-related operations problems that limited production.
The short answer is the
spike in prices is being driven
by record natural gas demand
paired with a large cut in
production from freeze-offs,
Jackson said. Freeze-offs
involve situations where gas
wells and gathering lines freeze
due to the cold weather and
shut off production, Jackson
said.
Market tracking from S&P
said record breaking demand
across the Midwest and
Rockies due to the intense cold
had driven prices up over $500
per unit at some locations, and
higher prices were expected
early this week before temperatures began to warm toward
Thursday and Friday.
At locations across Kansas,
Oklahoma
and
Eastern
Arkansas, hub prices were
trading at single-day record
highs around $200 to $300/
MMBtu., S&Ps website said
Sunday Regional hubs, which
typically service only limited
local demand, saw fierce competition among shippers, utilities and end-users looking to
meet weekend requirements.
Temperatures in Garnett
dipped to single digits late last
week and hit -7 on Monday.
Homeowners were being
encouraged to try to reduce gas
consumption as possible in the
interim.

HOW TO SELL STUFF
Dane Hicks
Review Publisher
you can imagine just sell less
product for more money. There is
no magic formula or process that
makes foods lower in calories
smaller, sometimes re-designed
packages of the same foods obviously have fewer calories. Voila
a lighter, healthier alternative
and nearly always sold at a
premium price.
Your products or services may
be candidates for re-introduction
or re-purposing in a similar way.
Try thinking of them in terms
of addition, subtraction, combination and relocation. When
sales of Mr. Clean were dropping and Gain laundry detergent
sales remained strong, Proctor
& Gamble added Gain scent to
Mr. Clean to cabbage onto Gains
popularity. Can you sell in larger
or smaller quantities? Can you
add something a wedding or
events venue might offer outdoor
fireworks for example to be
more novel?
You can even ask groups or
customers through small focus
groups or surveys what uses
theyve found for your product or
service which might have eluded
you.
If it can work for horse poop,
running your old products
through these exercises can find
new ideas and markets for them
too. And that can help you sell
stuff.

Mia loves to run in the sun,
And have some fun.
Weve had her a year,
My mom thinks shes a terror.
She doesnt understand
personal space,
Shes always
up in my face.
At least she
goes to the bathroom outside,
That way my
mom doesnt have to tan her
hide.
Mia has really stolen my

And we never have to part.

Buster was a dog a
watchdog, and his master had
just bought him yesterday.
Not many people knew about
it, but they knew Busters
master Mr. Duncan. And
they also knew Mr. Duncan
had a LOT of money and other
kinds of riches. He lived in a
big mansion and also had lots
of servants.
One cold winter day Mr.
Duncan and a few of his servants went on a trip to Florida
where it was warmer. They
didnt want to take Buster
along so they left him there
with some servants that were
going to stay at home. Since
Buster was a watchdog, he
had to sleep outside in a doghouse. Of course, it was filled
with straw but still he lay
there shivering. Mr. Duncan
had moved the doghouse so
that it was almost hidden in
the bushes, that way Buster
had a windbreak. There was
a small forest beside Mr.
Duncans house that burglars
often liked hiding in.
After Mr. Duncan left, the
robbers snuck out of the forest. Their names were Sneaky,
Slim and Loudmouth. Sneaky
was very sneaky, Slim was
very slim and Loudmouth
was extremely loud. They
didnt know Mr. Duncan had
bought a dog. So they quietly
opened the door. The servants
had already gone to bed since
it was becoming dark outside.
Then they quietly tiptoed
upstairs where all the money
was.
Good thing Mr.
Duncan doesnt
have a dog!
Loudmouth
said.
Shhh!
Slim
hissed.
Shut
UP!
Sneaky whispered fuming.
Sneaky was the leader and
he often wished he wouldnt
have had asked Loudmouth
to join their team. But they
didnt know that the youngest
servant who was 11 had been
going to her room and heard
them and started following
them quietly. When she saw
that the robbers were going
to steal things, she quickly
ran outside in the wind and
got Buster. She told him to be
quiet and hoped with all her
might that he wouldnt give
them away. Then she took
him into the house and went
upstairs. Fortunately the
stairs and floors were carpet
ed and Busters claws didnt
click on the floor. Then she
went into her fathers room
and woke him up quietly. He
asked her what she was doing
and why she had Buster.
There are robbers in the
house! she whispered qui
etly. Quickly her dad Mr
Woodman jumped up. Stay!
he told Buster then turning
to his daughter Lily he said
Stay here with Buster and
Ill get a rope. Mr. Woodman
went outside soon he came
back quietly. Lily, Buster and
Mr. Woodman went to the
room where Sneaky, Slim and
Loudmouth were. There they
caught them and tied them
up. Then they took them to
the police.
The end.

Once there were two brothers
and the oldest name was Ken
and the little brothers name was
Wayne. And they both loved to
go fishing. One day Ken said,
Lets go fishing. Wayne replied
Oh, yes, lets and they went
to get the fishing tackle. When
they were ready to go, Wayne
said, I bet Im going
to catch the biggest
this time. Ken
just said, I dont
believe you because
you always say that
but of course you
never do.
So the two boys went and
tossed their lines out. And waited for a little bit. Then the line
on Waynes pole began to tug.
Wayne began reeling and said,
This is going to be a big one,
alright. And pulled the fish to
the bank of the creek. Wow,
that is a huge old bass, said Ken
coming over to look at the fish.
Yes, I knew I was going to catch
a bigger fish this time, Wayne
said. Well you proved it anyway
so we might as well go home and
eat that big fish, Ken said. And
that was the end of Kens bragging about catching the biggest
fish.

Day 1
Dear diary, Hi I am
Ferdinand I currently live
outside of Fort Scott, well I
dont exactly know what a
state is yet, but anyways. I
am a black angus steer and
may I tell ya I am living
the dream out here… gotta
go my humans are coming
with my bottle and some
funny smelling friends.
Day 2
Dear diary, those funny
smelling friends that the
humans came with took
me home with them. They
took me to a place they call
Garnett. The little girl feeds
me and she puts this rope
around my neck and nose
and gets me out and walks
me. She also talks a lot,
she keeps going on and on
about how I have to walk
so she can show me in this
thing called a fair…sounds
dumb if you ask me like who
would want to watch a cow
get walked. Here she comes,
gotta go.
Day 3
Dear Diary, my new
humans took me to the fair
thing that the little girl was
talking about and did I tell
you that her name is Rylee.
Its been a really long day
for both me and my humans.
First they loaded my grain
and bowls in this big blue
box and here is the craziest part… they put me in it!
Then they got in the thing
that they called a truck and
drove it to this fair thing
with the box that I was in
hooked up to the truck.

the
ropes
on me and
walked me to
this thing that
checked
my
weight
and
while I was being weighed
they put a tag in my ear and
it felt like they stuck a knife
in my ear. Its been an awful
day.
Day 4
Dear diary, I was awoken
from my slumber today just
to have ropes put upon me
and the little girl walk me at
midday. I was given a bath.
The little girl then took me
in this thing with a bunch
of other children and calves
to be walked. I didnt feel
like being walked but there
were so many people that I
wanted to avoid the udder
embarrassment. So I walked
That
One
Carrot
and I apparently did good
because I got lots of food
after the trauma of walking.
Day 5
Dear diary, the fair is
over finally! I gotta go home
but instead of going back to
my stable I was put in the
field. At first I knew something was wrong but then
when Rylee came down she
said that she had news for
me and she knew I wasnt
going to like it and boy was
she right. She told me I was
going to get a sister! Like
who does that to someone
as sweet as me. Gotta go,
the birds are coming over to
chat!
Day 6
Dear diary, my sister
came and boy is she annoying. All she does is talk
about these friends of hers
there is a dog which I knew
about along with the cats,
but she talks about this
goat named Danny! I didnt
even know we had a goat!
She says Danny looks like a
short fat dog with long ears
and spots on her back and
belly! Gotta go, the cats and
dog are coming over to play!
Day 7,
Dear diary, Rylees dad
got in the field to play and
boy did we have a ball! He
is so fun to play with, we
played hide behind the tree.
Its a game where he would
be on one side of the tree and
I would stand on the other
side and try to find him! Its
really fun. We also raced
back to the door when he
was ready to go to the house.
My sister is never that fun;
she just likes to do this thing
that she calls sunbathing.
Its like this thing where
you lay in the sun and stay
there all day except to go to
the bathroom. Its weird.
Day 8.
Dear diary, Rylee came
down to feed me today and
she looked sad, I know that
she had sold her goat but
she got over it. When she
was explaining to me what
was going on she said that
dad sold me to someone else
to butcher as meat. I was
furious, I thought that dad
and I were pals! Like really
man how dare you! She also
said that I am going to the
butcher in March, I better
make the best of my very
last days. Well this looks
like the end of my diary.
See you someday in heaven hopefully. Goodbye. Ohh
here comes the dog!

Hi my name is Amelia I was
born blind and this is my story.
Amelia hurry up said
Amelias mom, Ms. Green. Im
just finishing up getting dressed
said Amelia from her bedroom.
Since Amelia was blind her mom
would always set out her clothes
on her bed. Hurry we need to
go said Ms. Green.
Im almost done I just have
to grab Jipsy said Amelia. Jipsy
was Amelias guide dog and
they were the best of friends.
Honestly Amelia didnt really
have any human friends Because
she wasnt all that trusting. All
right lets go,said Ms. Green.
Then they got in the car with
Amelia and her mom in the front
and Jipsy in the back, then they
were off to school.Amelia recently started at St.Johns School.
Since Amelia was unfamiliar
with the building, Ms. Green
led her to her classroom, and to
her seat. Amelia Ms. Green
said. Remember how I said my
job was a surprise well Im the
5th grade teacher. Oh hehe …
really said Amelia pretending
to sound enthusiastic. Thats
great. Now said Ms. Green
walking to the front lets start
by introducing our new student,
Amelia. Amelia pet Jipsy, stood
up, and said uhh hi my name
is Amelia, some of the other
students snickered, I am blind
in both eyes, thats why I have
Jipsy my seeing eye dog she gestured at Jipsy and sat back down.
Okay lets learn shall we?said
Ms. Green.
Later at recess, Amelia was
sitting on a bench petting Jipsy,
when she heard someone walk
up to her. Then a girls voice
Oh, my little sisters name
is Hissy. Guess why. If you
guessed because shes a sassy
little brat, youd be right. Hey,
do you want to hear a joke?
Why do seagulls fly over the
sea? Because if they flew over
the bay they would be bagels!
Im hilarious arent I?
said, So youre the defect.
What?! said Amelia. I said…
the girl began. I heard you,
said Amelia, starting to cry.
Fine then, Ill leave you and
your mutt to your thoughts, crybaby said the girl.
Later that day, Amelia sat on
her bed thinking about what the
girl had said, was she really just
a mistake, a defect. Then she
heard the door open. Amelia
Im going to go pick up some
milk and…, Amelia whats
wrong?said Ms. Green. Mom I
had an awful day said Amelia
starting to cry again At recess
… a girl … she called me a defect.
said Amelia still crying. Oh
Amelia, is there anything I can
do to help? asked Ms. Green,
hating to see her daughter upset.
Sweetie maybe if you only talked to them they would understand, how about you come to the
front and say something at the
end of class. Okay mom.
The next day Ms. Green told
the class Amelia was going to
do a speech at the end of the
lesson. When it was almost time
for Amelia to talk in front of
the class someone walked up to
her You think youre so special,
well this wont change anything
youll always be a defect.said
the girl that had teased Amelia
the day before ,whos name was
Ethel. Youve made your point
very clear. said Amelia, keeping her temper.
During Amelias speech she
talked about her hardships, and
how she had to do things differently, but that she was still just
a kid like them. After her speech
Amelia thought that everyone
had a little bit better understanding of her and what she went
through. Shes not that special, said Ethel. Though no one
heard her because everyone was
talking to Amelia.

Chapter 1 Aprils Begging
There was a little girl named
April, she was only three. She
begged and begged so she could
do gymnastics a little earlier but
her father said no! She was
wondering why but her mother
and father said you can only
be four to do gymnastics here.
She went to her room speechless
and stomping. The next day she
was still mad. Her mom and dad
had to leave for work early in
the morning. She practiced a
lot of gymnastics at home every
day with her babysitter. In three
days it was going to be the best
day of her life. It was her birthday. She said to herself her life
has just begun.
Chapter 2 Birthday Present
Today is Aprils birthday and
her parents gave her the gift
she had always been waiting
for. It was her gymnastics sign
up sheet. She was excited to
start gymnastics. Her parents
told her that when she got older
she would move up a level. Two
years later she was 6 and then
she mastered a front handspring
and then she mastered a front
flip. She was really working
hard on her back flip. Then she
moved up a level.
Chapter 3 High Level
Four years of hard work. Then
she was ten. Then she was getting to a higher level and she
was thinking that she should
move up a level without her
parents knowing and she decided not to because her parents
would find out.

Then her friends were making
fun of her because she was a
lower level than they were. Just
because they were 15 and she
is 14. She tried to do the stuff
they did. It was a roundoff back
handspring back flip and she
did the roundoff and landed, she
did the back handspring and
she said in her mind that I can
do a backflip but just remember
to tuck, then she did all of the
things together and landed all
except the back flip and she fell
right on her leg hard and fell
back on the floor crying. Her
friends helped her get up and go
to the hospital and to get help
and call her mom and tell her
to go to the emergency room in
the Saint Lukes Hospital and
then she got her results back
from the doctors and they said
gymnastics is pretty much off
the table. She started crying in
her moms hand then a day later
2×5
she got to go home and then she
said it will never be the same
to her mom.
Chapter 5 The Difference
Months and months later she
had gotten her cast off but then
today she was going back to
gymnastics even though the doctors said that gymnastics is off
the table she is still fighting for
her destiny and then she trained
and trained, then she did some
competition and then got first
place and then she got a scholarship for the olympic gymnastics
team. She was so excited for it
and her decision is that she was
going to go and then she had
a great comeback of gymnastics and she set a world record
for the best comeback gymnast
ever and then she is starting her
own gymnastics club that any
age can start at any time and it
became a big class worldwide
gymnasium.

Danny
By Rylee Hill
6th Grade, St. Rose
Mrs. Rockers
Honorable Mention
Once there was a goat; then
there was a girl. The girls
name was Rylee. When they
met each other the little girl
knew that this was the goat
that she wanted. Every time
she walked by the goat she
grinned and couldnt help but
look. When her mother asked
her which goat she wanted she
smiled happily and ran over to
the goat. As soon as her mother and her mothers friend that
owned the goats came to her
she smiled happily and pointed at the tiny goat and as she
pointed she happily said The
goat I must have.
Her mother asked her on
the way home what she was to
name this goat as she thought
she looked at her parents
and said Her name shall be
Danny.
Rylees mother could tell
that she was happy but still
wanted to assure her that taking care of a goat is a lot of
responsibility.
How often will you feed
her? questioned her mother. Twice a day; once in the
morning and once at night.
When the happy family got
home Rylee and her brother
and sister helped put feed in
her feeder, hay in her hay
bunk, water in her watering
bowl, straw in her house, and
of course it cant be a goats
pen without a goat. Every
morning the little girl would
get up and feed Danny before
going down the driveway to
wait for the bus. One day when
Rylee was walking her goat for
the first time in the middle of
the day and the goat got so hot
that she just fell over on the
ground.
Rylee was scared and upset
because the goat wouldnt walk
for her. Her mom assured her
that everything was okay and
that it was just because she
didnt want to walk.
Over summer break Rylee
worked more with her goat,
they both became better
friends and the goat never fell
over again.
One day only one week
away from the fair Rylee went
to feed Danny and the goat
was so fat that she got stuck in
between Rylees legs. Getting
stuck scared the goat so she
started running around the
pen with a 90 pound person on
her back until finally Rylee let
go. Danny then trotted happily
to her water, got a drink and
then ran over to her food like
nothing ever happened.
That evening Rylee and
her mother took Danny to go
get her hair trimmed by her
moms friend. A week later
Rylee took Danny to the fair.
Every day Rylee would go to
the fair to feed, water, and
clean Dannys pen. One day
during the fair, Rylee had to
be there early. She had to be
at the pens at 8:00 a.m. to give
her goat a bath so that Danny
could look her best for the
shows.
This wasnt their first time
showing. Rylee had taken
Danny to other shows with her
friends so that when the judges recommended what needed
to be done to make her goats
look better she could use that
advice for the fair.
Its time for your show
girls. Rylees mother said.
I know! Its all Ive been
thinking about all day!
replied Rylee.
Rylee was nervous when she
got into the show ring. Then
the judge went to announce
the winner for the showmanship category.
Im going to say what puts
this goat above all the rest
is the showmans eye contact,
and how she put her goats
feet down and how she did it
quickly. the judge continued,
I want to congratulate this
young lady in the blue he said
as he pointed to Rylee.
Rylee felt amazed and knew
that all of her hard work had
finally paid off. Rylee remembered that the people that she
talked with before she showed
Danny had told her to go to the
booth before leaving to get her
prize if she got grand champion for any of her shows. When
she got finished she went out
and walked up to the booth
with her dad.
Congratulations Rylee!
said the lady at the booth as
she handed Rylee a big black
box. When Rylee was opening
her box her best friend named
Lydia came running up to her
and gave her a high five.
Whats it look like? Lydia
asked. I dont know yet. I havent opened it yet. Rylee said.
Well then what are you waiting for! Lydia said excitingly.
When Rylee opened the box
there was a shiny rose gold
belt buckle with a goat on it.
Wow! both girls said in
awe.
Thats way better than
the belt buckles that Coffey
County gave away. Said
Lydia as she pointed at her
Coffey County belt buckle.
In another hour Rylee would
have to show again. Because
Dannys legs were wet when
she went into the show ring
her legs were clumped with
sand on them.
Lets give her a bath before
the next show so that we can
get the dirt off of her legs.
Rylees mother suggested.
You better hurry. her
father said your next show
is in an hour. And make sure
you get her legs dry before you
go into the ring. He added.
Rylee rushed into the ring
as her show started an hour
later. She was nervous when
the judge went to announce
the winner. Sadly she didnt
win; but, she did get third in
the
meat goat category.
Good job kiddo! her dad
said as she walked out of the
show ring.
You did really well considering your goat is a girl. her
mother said as they sat down
to watch the next goat show
after getting popcorn, lemonade, and putting Danny in her
pen.
You know that youll have
to sell your goat on Friday
night, right. her mother
reminded her.
Its going to be tough but
yeah. Rylee said realising
that it was Wednesday.
The next day Rylee had to
show her bucket calf named
Fern and chickens. She didnt
win any awards for her chickens, but got reserved grand
champion in the bucket calf
category and did not place in
the showmanship category.
On Friday Rylee and her

The Boy from a
Different Universe
By Alecia Gonzalez
6th Grade, Crest
Mr. Zimmerman
Honorable Mention
There was a girl who was
reading a book on the fountain
in her town. She all of a sudden
felt a little tap on her shoulder.
She turned around and saw a
boy, but something was different
about him. His eyes were bright
and mysterious. They were as
light of a blue as the sky. He said
he had something to show her.
He grabbed her hand and took
her deep in a mysterious forest.
She saw a garden with a fountain surrounded by all different
kinds of flowers. He told her to
jump in the fountain. She was
skeptical at first but she jumped
in anyway. When she opened her
eyes she knew she wasnt home
anymore. She saw the boy and
asked where they were. The boy
said Youre in my world now…
I saw that you looked sad and
I wanted to cheer you up. The
girl and the boy played for hours
until it was time for her to go.
They said goodbye, but the
girl had one last question. Will
I ever see you again? The boy
answered back. Well its up to
the universe to decide. It brought
me here in the first place. The
girl gave him one last hug and
said. I hope to see you again.
The Country Gift

Honorable Mention
The horses ran across the
grass covered field. Katie
watched from the fence. Katie
was 10 years old and only wanted
one thing in the whole world: a
horse of her own. Katie had lived
in the city almost all her life.
Katie didnt mind the noise in
the city because Katie was deaf.
She communicated with her family through sign language. An
old man with grey hair came up
behind Katie and tapped Katie
on the shoulder. Katie turned
around. The man signed to Katie
Dinner is ready. Katie signed
back Okay Grandpa. The 2
ran inside. Katie came to stay
with her grandparents during
the summer on their ranch. As
they came into the kitchen they
smelled pumpkin pie. The family
of three sat down to eat. After
dinner Katie cleared the table
and got ready for bed. The next
morning Katie took her favorite
horse (Sundance) out for a trail
ride. When Katie got back from
her wonderful ride she found her
parents sitting inside eating the
leftover pie from the night before.
Katie felt sad while she untacked
Sundance. When Katie came
inside she told her parents Hi,
and went to her room to pack.
She told her grandparents See
you next summer. Katie and
her parents walked to the car.
They drove back to the city and
entered their apartment. It was
small and cramped. Katie liked
the country where she could
run around and not worry about
cars. Katie went to her room and
stayed there till the next morning. Katie woke up and went into
the kitchen for breakfast. Katie,
I have a surprise for you. Get
into the car and Ill show you.
Katies mom signed. Katie ran
down to the car and got inside.
An hour later they arrived at
their grandparents house. There
by the house was her grandpa
with a foal. Shes yours, her
mom signed. Katie ran out of
the car and hugged her grandpa.
Thank you! she kept signing.
Ill name her Tanya. Katie told
everyone. Katie hugged her foal.
Every summer after Katie spent
all her free time training and loving Tanya. 10 years later Tanya
died but whenever Katie sees
a horse it reminds her of her
beloved foal. The end.

My 3.5 wishes
By Alecia Gonzalez
6th Grade, Crest
Mr. Zimmerman
Honorable Mention
If I had 3 wishes, I
would first wish for an infinite
amount of money. Because then
I can buy anything in the world
and I could buy as much stuff
as I want. My 2nd wish would
be to make myself immortal.
If I was immortal, I could do
whatever I want at any time.
Also I could live for 500 years.
And my 3rd wish would be
teleportation. Because I could
go anywhere at any time of
the day. And with an infinite
amount of money, teleportation, and immortality would be
unstoppable together. If I had
a fourth wish or a bonus wish,
I would wish for the winning
story.
Centuries of Hope

Ms. Winter
Honorable Mention
For centuries our ancestors
have lived through tornadoes,
migration, World War II and
many more. We should always
be like our ancestors. They had
hope during all these events. We
can have hope during this event.
I once heard a wise man say
Fear is the key to confusion.
The grass is always greener on
the other side. We will get to the
other side of this Covid 19. There
is one good thing about Covid,
you can spend more time with
family. We must have hope just
like our ancestors centuries of
hope before us.

AAA Kansas Roadside Assistance
calls see dramatic increase last week
The extreme Arctic
temperatures and winter
weather conditions have
wreaked havoc on vehicles in
the past week. AAA Kansas
reports that its emergency
roadside assistance towing and
battery service crews responded to 1,313 rescue calls during
the week of Feb. 8-14, a 101%
increase from the week of Feb.
1-7.
Of those 1,313 service calls,
999, or 76% were for dead car
batteries or other cold weather
engine failures that required
the vehicle to be towed.
While routine maintenance
is the best protection against
breakdowns that could leave
drivers, and their passengers
stranded, it may have been
overlooked by drivers, as many
vehicles have sat idle more
than normal, amid the COVID19 pandemic. Even with fewer
miles driven, preventative
maintenance check-ups are
still important.
Aside from routine maintenance, AAA automotive
experts recommend drivers
pay special attention to these
key vehicle components:
Batteries
Starting an engine in cold
temperatures can take up to
twice as much current as needed under normal conditions.
Calls for dead batteries in particular have been higher than
usual because more vehicles
are sitting idle more often
because of COVID-19.
The average battery lasts
3-5 years.
Even at 32 degrees, a battery is 35 percent weaker.
At zero degrees, a cars
battery loses about 60 percent
of its strength, yet the engine
needs about twice as much
power to start.
A batterys life can be
drained faster if devices are
plugged into cars (cell phone
chargers, upgraded audio and
GPS devices)
Have the battery and
charging system tested by a
trained technician.
Make sure the battery terminals and cable ends are free
from corrosion and the connections are tight.
Tires
Air expands when it is heated and contracts when it is
cooled. As the air temperature
drops outside, so does the air
pressure in your tires. Why
is this important? Maintaining
proper tire inflation is essential for safe driving. For every
10-degree drop in air temperature, a tire's pressure will fall
by about 1-2 PSI (pounds per
square inch).
How to Check Your Tires
Check tire pressure. Colder
weather can require adding air
to tires. Make sure pressure
levels match those found in
either the owners manual or
on the drivers door jamb, and
note that pressure levels may
be different for front and rear
tires.
Check tire tread. Test tread
depth with a quarter. Insert
the quarter with the top of
Washingtons head into the
tread. If all of his head can be
seen, it is time for new tires.
Check for a spare tire.
Motorists should know whether their vehicle comes with a
spare tire (many newer cars
do not). This helps AAA know
whether to send a light service
vehicle (to put on the spare) or
a tow truck for a vehicle without a spare.
Fluids
With subzero temperatures
expected, its critical that drivers take time to ensure proper
vehicle fluids are being used,
levels are correct and they are
rated for the weather conditions.
Antifreeze/Coolant: engine
antifreeze/coolant performs a
vital job when the temperature
drops. It lowers the freezing

including family and emergency services, and car charger
Drinking water
First-aid kit
Non-perishable snacks for
both human and pet passengers
Bag of abrasive material (sand,

Window washer solvent
winter formulation with antifreeze components
Ice scraper with brush
Cloth or roll of paper towels

dad went to the fairgrounds at
7:30 in the morning so that she
and her dad could clean pens
and they had to take Fern, the
chickens, and crafts that she
had shown back to the farm.
Everyone and everything
is going home today except
for Danny. Rylees father
reminded her as they were
loading Fern into the trailer.
Once they got everything loaded into the trailer Dad went
home and unloaded the animals when he came back and
told Rylee that he was going
to go get lunch at the sandwich shop while she helped set
up for the auction. When Dad
returned to the fairgrounds
the two sat down and ate
lunch.

pooped all over you. Dad
joked. I have to go run some
errands just call when youre

said as her father walked to
the truck and drove away

walked up to her.

Sure. Can you go get me
the wheelbarrow while I tie
her up over there?Rylee
asked.
You got it boss. Lydia said
as she did a military salute.
When the girls got done
Rylee called her dad and told
him that she was ready for
him to pick her up. When they
got home Rylee went straight
upstairs and got in the shower.
When she went to her bedroom
to get dressed to her surprise
her mom had set clothes out
for her to wear to the auction
along with a pair of boots and
a goat necklace.
When everyone was ready
the family went to the fairgrounds to get Danny ready
for the auction first they tied
her up in the wash bin they
then washed her body after
that Rylee took her to the
drying table and got the blow
dryer and dried Danny off
with it.

put her number holder on her
vest.

knowing that she wouldnt
ever see her goat again after
tonight she started to cry
as she put her goat into the
pen with all the other goats.
Day after day Rylee mourned
about the loss of her friend;
luckily her friends were there
to comfort her.
One day Rylee found out
that she was going to get two
goats for the next fair season.
She was really excited on the
way home from basketball
practice on a rainy January
night her mother had said.
Did I tell you that we are getting goats next month?
No. Rylee said in reply.
What are you going to
name them? her father asked.
Rylee had been thinking
about this a long time and
excitedly she said, James is
what I shall name the boy, and
Jade is what I shall name the
girl!
