Delays come to end
as federal court set to
hand down sentence

With the aging population growing at a faster rate as Baby
Boomers get older, senior citizen living facilities like the rent-subsidized Parkside Place apartments in Garnett and other private
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 2-18-2020 / DANE HICKS
housing options are expanding to meet those needs. City officials
want a feasibility study to determine if its worth the investment to
expand the ctiys senior housing options.
Is it worth it?
Housing Authority cool to
prospects of feasibility study,
might partner up for funding
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The Garnett Housing
Authoritys tepid response to the prospect of a community-wide housing feasibility study has prompted the idea of a
partnership project with the city/county
economic development agency to help
fund the work.
The GHA has been reluctant to exert
much energy in the direction of expanding the citys senior housing options
either at the federally subsidized Parkside
Place apartments or the private-pay Park
Plaza North development, even though
waiting lists now exist on both facilities.
Members of the city commission as
well as some members of the general public have noted a feasibility study might
help determine the viability of a new
senior housing project in the city, following national demographic trends of an
expanding aged population as baby boomers grow older.
City manager Chris Weiner told commissioners earlier this year hed like to
see a feasibility study of general housing in the community in addition to the
senior housing niche, with the hope of
uncovering new data that might convince
private investors to expand more general
local housing options. Weiner suggested
at the time that study could be grouped
with a senior housing study in order to
get a broader set of results.
Weiner said earlier any housing project eventually would have to start with
a feasibility study to determine market
receptivity, and that absent a private initiative the city was likely the only entity
which got that ball rolling.
Obviously, you never know until you
do the study, Weiner told commissioners.
Ground Floor Partners, a strategic
business advisory consultant firm based
in Chicago, said feasibility studies vary
in cost depending on their scope, but general studies typically run in the range of
$15,000-$30,000.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
LINCOLN, Neb. A former
Garnett man faces a sentence
of 30 years in prison at a sentencing hearing tomorrow in
connection with his guilty plea
on two counts of producing and
possessing child pornography.
Michael
McCullars
sentencing
has
been
delayed since
October
while prosecutors and
his defense
lawyer debatMcCullar
ed
arguments over
the functionality of holding his
hearings on charges in a federal court in Nebraska after he
was transferred from the Saline
County, Neb., jail to a holding
facility in Leavenworth, Ks.
McCullar, 48, and most
recently living in Dwight,
Neb., originally pled not guilty
to charges of possessing, producing and trafficking child
porn, after he was picked up
in a Homeland Security sting
operation in October 2018.
Each charge carried a possible 20 year sentence and up
to $250,000 in fines. He was
arrested in February after
investigators charged he had
taken explicit photos of his two
year-old niece and attempted
to trade, sell or traffic them
over the Internet. He revised
his plea to guilty on production
and possession charges in a
plea agreement that threw out
two other charges.
McCullar admitted at a presentencing hearing to possess-
ing some 30,000 images depicting child pornography and
some 1,500 related child porn
videos on his personal laptop,
as discovered by investigators.
A transcript of the presentencing hearing details the particulars of the prosecutions
proposed 30-year sentence in
exchange for the guilty plea.
The court specified to McCullar

and
its
conditions would be up to
Wednesdays sentencing judge.
The
court
granted
McCullars request to seal
the evidentiary documents
to be used in tomorrows sentencing hearing, which will
include photographs and images of child pornography, due
to the sensitive nature of the
material and the age of the
victim. The sentencing hearing will also include a defense
sentencing
memorandum
which will include a narrative of McCullars background,
childhood, education, accomplishments and other positive
aspects of his life in an attempt
to provide a summation of him
in addition to the details of his
crime.
McCullar was a district
manager with a subsidiary of
Johnson & Johnson while the
family lived in Garnett. He was
a one-time chairman of the
Anderson County Republican
Party and assisted with various local political and campaign work.
Weiner weighs in on legislative initiatives Stay,
Fido…
City head writes in
protest of bills he says
are bad tax policy
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT City manager
Chris Weiner told commissioners last week he had submitted
testimony recently opposing a
handful of bills involving local
goverment being debated in
Kansas Legislative committees
during the current session of
the legislature.
Weiner said two of the bills
were proposed as tax relief
and transparency bills one
dealing with a proposed notification requirement to property owners
any time city
tax
funds
increased,
and another
that
restricted tax
increases on
properties
when their
Weiner
owners conducted routine maintenance.
The first bill would have
required the city mail notices to all property owners any
time tax-supported spending
increased, which detailed
the impact of the spending
increase directly on their
specific property and showed
applicable comparisons to
past years and present data.
Intended as a transparency initiative to illustrate the direct
impacts of higher local government spending, Weiner said
the net effect to the city would
be a cost increase of thousands
of dollars for postage and staff
time in drafting the documents
and mailing them.
Cities, counties and school
districts are already required
to publish budgets annually
which show proposed expenses
compared to the last several
years, as well as an illustration of mill levies and overall
taxable property valuations of
those jurisdictions. Those publications are made in advance
of budget hearings preceding
the budgets approval. That
hearing is open to the public.
A second bill would have
restricted county appraisers
from increasing the taxable
value of a residence based solely on routine maintenance,
such as painting or the installation of siding or other cosmetic
improvements. Intended as an
effort to do away with a disincentive for property upkeep,
Weiner told commissioners
the bill would allow property
owners to continue to allow
their properties to deteriorate
to a lower taxable value before
implementing any fix-up measures in order to see lowered
taxes.
Weiner said he also submitted testimony which opposed a
bill which would restrict property annexations to only voluntary ones, and also to a bill
which would have exempted
cable companies from all related franchise fees or pole attachment fees associated with executing cable services within a
city.
Schmidt: Frontenacs $3,500 in open records fees violates law
TOPEKA Kansas Attorney
General Derek Schmidt has
notified the City of Frontenac
that it violated the Kansas
Open Records Act (KORA)
when it requested a $3,500 fee
in order to furnish copies of
public records to a reporter.
In October 2019, a representative of the media filed
a KORA complaint with the
attorney generals office alleging, in part, that the citys
$3,500 fee request to furnish
public records he requested on
September 18 was unreasonable. Upon investigation, the
attorney generals office determined that Frontenacs fee
request was unreasonable and
thus violated the KORA
because
it
failed
to
explain or justify its $3,500
fee request,
including why
it was seeking
Schmidt
$225.00
per
hour for any
time spent by
its outside legal counsel.
While the city may recover its actual costs in responding to a KORA request, those
costs must still be reasonable,
the attorney generals office
wrote in a finding of violation. An hourly rate of $225.00
per hour for attorney time is
per se unreasonable. Outside
counsel may charge a governmental entity for its services.
However, based on the public policy and purpose of the
KORA, it is unreasonable for
a public agency to pass those
costs onto a requester without
a significant reduction in the
hourly fee rate.
As a result of the finding of
violation, the attorney general has imposed the following
requirements on the city:
Cease and desist from any
further violation of the KORA;
Review and amend its city ordinance outlining fees for access
to public records to ensure
compliance with the KORA;
Adopt, review, or update any
internal city policies governing how staff is to respond to
KORA requests, including the
calculation of costs necessary
to do so;
Establish and maintain a
checklist for city staff to use
and consider when calculating actual costs necessary to
respond to a KORA request;
Identify at least one and a half
hours of training on the KORA
for any interim or permanently
appointed city attorney, city
administrator, city clerk, city
records custodian or others
required to respond to or process records requests, and each
member of the city council to
attend;
Provide the attorney general
with a written report of compliance within 60 days of the
finding of violation.
A copy of the finding of violation, which was signed last
week by the attorney general,
is available at http://ag.ks.gov/
open-govt/enforcement-actions. Information about the
requirements of the KORA
and the KOMA can be found at

No more nuisance
animal calls after hours
due to cost issues
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Stray cats in the
city are costing big bucks,
and city leaders have agreed
to amend the citys policy to
restrict picking up stray cats
and dogs after hours.
The city houses strays at
Countyside Veterinary Clinic
in Garnett until theyre either
picked up by owners or euthanized after a three-day period.
This is more expensive according to a report to city commissioners from police chief
Kurt King $81 per dropoff if
officers drop animals off after
the clinics regular business
hours. The city also pays associated boarding costs of $11 per
day as well as costs to euthanize the animals if theyre not
picked up or otherwise found
homes.
King told commissioners in
his monthly department report
the city spent more than $1,500
in after hours charges in 2019.
King said the 35 cats the city
picked up over the year resulted in $3,100 in charges, which

was about 75 percent of some
$4,100 the city absorbed in total
animal control costs at the clinic for the year.
King proposed the city no
longer pick up animals after
regular business hours, and
that residents who get live
traps from the city be advised
they can only set them during
approved hours. If they set them
during other times, theyll have
to be responsible for the animal
until it can be picked up. King
said the change wouldnt affect

Coping with grief and loss
helpguide.org
There is no right or wrong
way to grieve, but there are
healthy ways to deal with the
grieving process. These tips can
help.
What is grief ?
Grief is a natural response
to loss. Its the emotional suffering you feel when something
or someone you love is taken
away. Often, the pain of loss
can feel overwhelming. You
may experience all kinds of difficult and unexpected emotions,
from shock or anger to disbelief,
guilt, and profound sadness. The
pain of grief can also disrupt
your physical health, making
it difficult to sleep, eat, or even
think straight. These are normal
reactions to lossand the more
significant the loss, the more
intense your grief will be.
The grieving process
Grieving is a highly individual experience; theres no right or
wrong way to grieve. How you
grieve depends on many factors,
including your personality and
coping style, your life experience, your faith, and how significant the loss was to you.
Inevitably, the grieving process takes time. Healing happens gradually; it cant be forced
or hurriedand there is no
normal timetable for grieving.
Some people start to feel better
in weeks or months. For others, the grieving process is measured in years. Whatever your
grief experience, its important
to be patient with yourself and
allow the process to naturally

How to deal with the grieving process
While grieving a loss is an
inevitable part of life, there are
ways to help cope with the pain,
come to terms with your grief,
and eventually, find a way to
pick up the pieces and move on
with your life.
Acknowledge your pain.
Accept that grief can trigger
many different and unexpected
emotions.
Understand that your grieving process will be unique to
you.
Seek out face-to-face support
from people who care about you.
The five stages of grief
Denial: This cant be happening to me.
Anger: Why is this happening? Who is to blame?
Bargaining: Make this not
happen, and in return I will
____.
Depression: Im too sad to do
anything.
Acceptance: Im at peace
with what happened.
If you are experiencing any
of these emotions following a
loss, Grief can be a roller coaster
Instead of a series of stages,
we might also think of the grieving process as a roller coaster,
full of ups and downs, highs and
lows. Like many roller coasters, the ride tends to be rougher in the beginning, the lows
may be deeper and longer. The
difficult periods should become
less intense and shorter as time
goes by, but it takes time to
work through a loss. Even years
after a loss, especially at special
events such as a family wedding
or the birth of a child, we may
still experience a strong sense of
grief.
Symptoms of grief
While loss affects people
in different ways, many of us
experience the following symptoms when were grieving. Just
remember that almost anything
that you experience in the early
stages of grief is normal
including feeling like youre
going crazy, feeling like youre
in a bad dream, or questioning your religious or spiritual
beliefs.
Emotional symptoms of
grief
Shock and disbelief. Right
after a loss, it can be hard to
accept what happened. You may
feel numb, have trouble believing that the loss really happened, or even deny the truth.
If someone you love has died,
you may keep expecting them to
show up, even though you know
theyre gone.
Sadness. Profound sadness is
probably the most universally
experienced symptom of grief.
You may have feelings of emptiness, despair, yearning, or deep
loneliness. You may also cry a
lot or feel emotionally unstable.
Guilt. You may regret or feel
guilty about things you did or
didnt say or do. You may also
feel guilty about certain feelings
(e.g. feeling relieved when the
person died after a long, difficult
illness). After a death, you may
even feel guilty for not doing
something to prevent the death,
even if there was nothing more
you could have done.
Anger. Even if the loss was
nobodys fault, you may feel
angry and resentful. If you lost
a loved one, you may be angry
with yourself, God, the doctors,
or even the person who died for
abandoning you. You may feel
the need to blame someone for
the injustice that was done to
you.
Fear. A significant loss can
trigger a host of worries and
fears. You may feel anxious,
helpless, or insecure. You may
even have panic attacks. The
death of a loved one can trigger
fears about your own mortality,
of facing life without that person, or the responsibilities you
now face alone.

REMEMBRANCES
Colony Christian Church The fundamentals of
– Sin & Hopelessness the Christian faith.
Bruce Symes gave our
Communion Meditation over
the rejection of Jesus. Its curious that with all the prophesies about the coming Messiah,
that the Jews rejected him. The
Old Testament worship practices and the Passover are all
pictures of Christ. Rejection
was necessary so the Good
News could be spread through
out the world. During communion, we should contemplate
how Jesus was rejected by officials and friends alike. Even
God had to turn his back on
Jesus while he was hanging on
the cross because he couldnt
be in the presence of the sin
that was thrust upon him. He
was rejected by Heaven and
earth for YOU!
Pastor Chase Riebel gave the
sermon Sin & Hopelessness.
Man was created by God, willfully sinned against God and
consequently became lost and
without hope apart from Jesus.
Sin brings hopelessness. The
Bible tells us that not a single person is good. And there
are many times when were
oblivious to our own sins, yet
can see others sins perfectly. In 2 Samuel, Nathan tells
David a story about a rich
man and a poor man. Before
this story, and Nathan coming right out and pointing out
Davids sin, David didnt recognize it in himself. We often
find ourselves blaming others for our sins, or making
excuses to justify what weve
done wrong. We must open our
eyes to who God is, repent and
live in his light. Following our
own desires leads to sin, which
leads to hopelessness, which
leads to death. If we submit
to God, well receive forgiveness and peace. (Ref: 2 Samuel
12:1-19; Ecclesiastes 7:13, 20
& 29; Romans 1:29; Galatians
6:1; James 5:19-20; Job 22:2130, 38:2,4,12,19, 31, 39:19 & 26,
40:2-14 & 42:1-6; Micah 7:18-20;
Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:9).

What should the fundamentals of
the faith be for believers? They
are as follows. 1)The Bible is the
word of God. 2) One must believe
in the virgin birth of Jesus. 3)
One must believe Christ performed supernatural miracles.
4) Believe in the resurrection of
Jesus Christ. 5) That Christ will
return personally.
How we get to this point is we
receive Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. Christ is working
in peoples lives today and they
dont even realize it. God can
align events in our lives that will
bring even the most hardened
sinner or the person who is ridden with personal guilt to a point
where they will gladly accept the
fundamentals of faith. Part of
the growth of my own faith is
because I have seen men who
have been shattered by their own
sin rebuilt by the hands of Christ.
Why would God not be able to do
this if he is a sovereign God and
the creator and sustainer of the
universe?
There will come a time in
everyones life when they will
come to a fork in the road and
they will have to make a decision
to receive Jesus Christ as their
personal Savior. No decision is
a decision not to accept Christ.
In my own life Christ has called
me to evangelism, which is the
spreading of the gospel by preaching or public witness.
Now we must return to the
five points I made initially. All
five points are required and one
should be very careful thinking
one can pick and choose what to
believe. By doing that what one
does is put their faith in themselves not Christ.
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
One of the most painful things
to endure is to see people walk
away from church or the faith
because they cannot accept one
or more of these requirements.
In 1st John 2:19 we read, They
went out from us, but they did not
really belong to us. For if they
had they would remain with us;
but their going showed that none
of them belonged to us. Here
John makes it perfectly clear not
everyone will come to a saving
faith through Jesus Christ.
Each of us will stumble as we
go through life. We can take
comfort in the doxology that Jude
presents in Jude 24-25, To him
who is able to keep you from
falling and to present you before
his glorious presence without
fault and with great joy-to the
only God our Savior be the glory,
majesty, power and authority
through Jesus Christ our Lord
before all ages now and forever
more! Amen. The point Jude is
making is God will never let any
of his children fall.
Ministry on the Holiness
of God.

OPINION
Bullying of kids over MAGA
hats shows Lefts utter cowardice
With startling regularity, incensed adult
Leftists in the U.S. are exhibiting harassment
and outright violence against conservative children who dare to express their First Amendment
rights in support of President Donald Trump.
Its the latest example of chaos to issue forth from
the wreckage of the nations Democrat Party.
Amid the paralyzation of the U.S. Congress,
the rampant allegations, false impeachment
proceedings and the corruption of mainstream
journalism, this is perhaps the most heinous.
Abusing children because the kids like conservatism and Donald Trump? Really? Whats
next, and for heavens sake how much lower
can they go?
The latest sucker punch came during last
weeks New Hampshire Primary, when 34 yearold Patrick Bradley lumbered out of his polling
place at a high school in Windham and passed
a Trump support tent manned by a couple of
adults and a 15 year-old boy wearing Make
America Great Again hats. The boy greeted
all voters exiting the polls and coming past the
tent with a have a nice night, but Bradley
responded to the well-wish by suggesting the
high school sophomore have sexual intercourse
with himself, then, according to witnesses, he
reared back and slapped the boy.
Bradley then assaulted two adults working
the tent who attempted to intercede and also
proceeded to try to tear down the tent where the
volunteers were working. He was later arrested
and faces assault and other charges.
At some point in the future, probably far and
away from the course of the next several presidential terms, some type of serious and documented clinical research must be conducted to
determine the bizarre chemical imbalance or
other physiological reasoning that has caused
the state of mind of todays Democrats and
other Leftists. Trump Derangement Syndrome
may one day be clinically qualified.
Bullying children? Really?
And its not the first time.
Back in July 2018, 16 year-old Hunter Richard
and some buddies were noshing at Whataburger
(its a Texas thing) in San Antonio when Kino
Jimenez walked over, snatched the cap off the
boys head, yelled a racial slur, then picked up
the teens drink and tossed it in his face. He
left the restaurant with the hat but was later
tracked down after a cell phone video of the
incident shot by one of the boys was circulated
via Twitter. Jimenez pleaded no contest in
November 2019.
A similar situation befell 14 year-old Gunnar
Johnson at Hidden Oaks Middle School in
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Palm Springs, Fla., when he was threatened by
64 year-old school bus aide Delores Matheny
before she ripped the MAGA hat off Johnsons
head.
Who could forget perhaps the highest profile
incident of Catholic school teens attending a
pro-life rally in Washington, D.C., who were
excorciated by the media and various Leftist
celebrities for harassing an elderly Native
American. Videos of that event from numerous
angles, showed it was the kids in fact who were
harassed by the Black Hebrew Israelites, and
MAGA hat wearing Nicholas Sandmann did
nothing but stand still while Nathan Phillips
beat his drum in the boys face. Sandmann and
others have sued some media outlets for libel
and defamation for their initial rush-to-judgment coverage of the incident.
This thuggery hasnt just been targeted at
kids. Numerous other incidents of beatings and
harassment have been visited on others, including an 81 year-old man who was knocked to the
ground by a younger man over wearing his
MAGA hat. Other teens and younger kids have
been banned from wearing their Trump gear
and in some cases even expelled over it by their
public school teachers and administrators.
Indeed the irony is that it is Nazism, Fascism
and stripping of peoples rights is what the
fanatical Left uses as its reasoning to justify
any attack against President Trump or his supporters. The examples show it is they, however,
who exhibit these characteristics of oppression.
There will be a reckoning. Fascism is just
a two-dollar word for old-fashioned thuggery.
While the Left and its subscriber Democrats
proclaim lofty ideals, their bullying of children
reveals the absence of their character.

Forward hints at new Kansas transportation plan
By Martin Hawver
With abortion and Medicaid and even unpasteurized milk under the legislative microscope,
this week hearings start on yet another topic
maybe one of the better ideas that legislators
have seen pop up in the last several decades.
Its called Forward, and it is a dramatically
new way to figure out how to improve transportation of people and goods across the state. That
not only gets people to work on time, but makes
it possible for manufacturers in Kansas to get
their goods to market and make themselves and
their businesses and cities more prosperous.
Sound like a good idea? Yes, but its also one
that has taken Kansas government nearly 40
years to come up with. Hmmm
Basic idea is that instead of pulling together
local and state officials to plan for what might
or might not be the needs for roads and bypasses a decade in the future, how about you first
plan how to maintain and keep safe the thousands of miles of roads that weve already built?
And, once those maintenance needs are met
and financed, we look at projects that will make
economic development activity achievable.
Well, thats what the new transportation
plan looks like. It took new Secretary of
Transportation Julie Lorenz, to help come up
with it, and a new governor Laura Kelly, to produce a budget that just might make it possible.
First item of business is to do the work that
was promised more than a decade ago under
former Gov. Sam Brownback, which sounded
Democrat energy policies make the poor poorer
By Gene Huang
To understand the health of an economy,
look at the health of those who participate in
it.
About six in 10 U.S. adults have at least one
chronic disease, such as diabetes, cancer, or
heart disease. These conditions, also called
noncommunicable diseases, are expected to
collectively cost the country $95 trillion by
2050.
We can avoid this multitrillion-dollar tax
— if we shift our focus from just treating these
diseases to also preventing them from taking
root in the first place.
Chronic diseases take a staggering toll on
the economy. The direct costs are obvious -most people with chronic conditions manage
treatment for years and make regular visits to
their doctor.
The indirect costs of chronic diseases are
even bigger. They can reduce productivity
at the office or force people to miss work
entirely. Chronic conditions can also compel
workers to retire early, resulting in years of
lost income.
In the United States, heart disease and
stroke deprive our healthcare system of $199
billion each year and result in $131 billion
in lost workplace productivity. Diabetes saps
$237 billion from our healthcare system and
employers each year.
By contrast, a healthy population boosts a
nations economic performance. Adding one
year to life expectancy increases GDP per capita by 4 percent, according to an analysis by
the World Health Organization.
Preventing chronic disease is a simple way
to improve the health of an entire population
— and improve that populations economic
prospects.
Even the simplest investments in prevention pay off over time. By one estimate, investing $10 per person per year in community-based programs that encourage people to
exercise, eat better, and avoid smoking could
yield $16 billion in annual medical cost savings within five years.
In other words, wed get back $5.60 for every
dollar invested in a program like this one — a
more than fivefold return.
Improving access to healthy foods could
prevent people from developing heart disease
or diabetes. The benefits of healthy eating
could save the United States $114.5 billion each
year, according to one study.
Fortunately, there are community-based
programs that have successfully helped people beat back chronic diseases, but we need to
reach more communities.
Take the year-long Diabetes Prevention
Program the YMCA offers at more than 200
locations nationwide. Participants in this program work with coaches to lose up to 7 percent
of their body weight and commit to 150 minutes of physical activity each week. These simple changes have proven to reduce the number
of new type 2 diabetes cases by up to 71 percent
in people 60 and older.
Abbott and its foundation the Abbott Fund
have launched a series of partnerships called
Future Well initiatives to fight chronic
disease. These partnerships include Future
Well Communities, which targets underlying
social and economic barriers to good health in
Stockton, Calif., and Future Well Kids, which
helps instill healthy habits in kids aged 10-13.
The latter program brings groups of volunteers to schools in eight states to empower
kids to take charge of their health through
small changes, like planning healthy meals,
setting fitness goals, and parsing good nutrition advice from misinformation and health
fads.
If we can build healthier communities and
instill healthy habits in our children, theyll

Bloomberg: The Wizard of Oz candidate
The rich are different from you and me -they can buy themselves instant presidential
campaigns.
Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg
has elbowed himself into the Democratic nomination race solely on the basis of his fortune.
His campaign is high-handed as only a billionaire many times over could even contemplate.
He entered late, is skipping the early contests
and hasnt participated in any of the debates to
date (although that will change soon, thanks
to the Democratic National Committee retrofitting its rules for Bloomberg).
Its a free country, and with more than $50
billion to his name, Bloomberg can spend as
much money as he likes on whatever suits his
fancy. But Bloomberg 2020 is still an affront to
small-d democratic sensibilities, a tribute not
to his superior political skills or messaging
compared with the other candidates, but to his
access to an enormous personal bank account.
The level of his spending is truly astonishing — Croesus goes all-in on Super Tuesday.
Bloomberg spent more than $300 million on
various forms of advertising. Hes single-handedly changed the market for TV ads in many
places. He spent $10 million on a Super Bowl
spot, or about half of what Joe Biden raised in
the entire fourth quarter.
This is the Bloomberg way. He spent a
quarter of a billion dollars to become and
stay New York mayor for three terms. He was
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
eligible for his third term only because he got
a term-limit law changed, with the support of
charities that he happened to make generous
donations to.
Whats wrong with all this, beyond the cynicism of thinking everything has a price tag?
Maybe Bloomberg is right, that trying to go
in and convince voters of your appeal at town
hall events and meet-and-greets in places like
Iowa and New Hampshire is for suckers.
But there is much to be said for grassroots
politics. It forces candidates to take account,
up close and personal, of what their voters
believe and want. As president, Abraham
Lincoln devoted serious time to meeting with
random people who showed up to see him, in
what he called public opinion baths.
The candidate who does countless of these
early-state events must have the ability to
inspire and impress, think on his feet, show
endless patience and stamina. If hes not up
for it, or is a pretender, he will inevitably be
exposed.
In comparison to the other candidates,
Bloomberg is a Wizard of Oz candidate, shielded and inflated by his TV ads.
Another advantage of the traditional approach is that anyone can do it. Pete
Buttigieg, the unknown mayor of a small
Indiana town, finished strong in Iowa through
sheer talent, tireless work and clever messaging.
All this said, perhaps Bloomberg will break
all the rules and be the last man standing
between Bernie Sanders and the cusp of the
American presidency. Then, his spending
might look to a lot of Democrats like a public service. There is also no denying that
Bloomberg is a genuinely talented man.
Yet this style of campaigning shouldnt
be the norm. If Bloomberg succeeds, he will
enrich many TV stations, consultants, pollsters and campaign workers, but impoverish
our politics.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
good of course, but which saw about $2 billion
of money to perform that work evaporate as
the states finances were ravaged by tax cuts
that didnt supercharge the states economy as
Brownback had promised.
So, to keep government running, the state
diverted money from roads to nearly everything that the state does for its citizens, ranging
from education to social services to prisons to
well, just about everything but roads that it had
promised Kansans.
The result? Those promised highway
improvements didnt get done, money for maintenance was siphoned off for general government operations and nobody is happy. The
new plan includes finishing off those promised
projects and devoting millions to preserving the
highways we have that are steadily deteriorating.
Its not as easy as it sounds. Kelly will need
to delay many of the tax cuts that all legislators
want to tout as they seek re-election this year.

February 2000 – Investigators search for
cause of Astro manufacturing plant fire
February 2010
Search for bids to
replace the Bush City Fire
Department building, volunteers are hoping that little
if any funds will have to be
provided out of pocket for the
project. The existing facility is an older building that
took a hit from the winds
that roared through the area
during the Christmas holiday. Two fire trucks and an
old ambulance are housed in
the current building, but it
is hardly more than a garage
and doesnt have running
water.
February 2000
State and local officials are
investigating the cause of a
late night blaze on Sunday
that destroyed an office
building owned by Astro
West manufacturing plant
in Garnetts industrial park.
Company CEO Bobby Combs
said the fire was reported
around midnight Sunday and
was confined to the east side
of an exterior building constructed to house the plants
office workers several years
ago, and that the production
plant was not involved. Plant
workers were at their jobs
Monday and the management
and office staff had been relocated to the companys newly
acquired building.

February 1990
National Guard Members
of the 35th Division, 1/127
Field
Artillery
which
includes Garnetts post have
been working the past month
on an effort to pull the number of members up to full-staff
strength. However, the work
may be in vain depending
on the outcome of a proposal
to trim the nations defense
budget. Under the trimmed
defense plan, a field artillery battalion, an armored
battalion, and a mechanized
infantry battalion could all
be eliminated from the forces
throughout Kansas.

William B. Kennedy, Lane,
was hospitalized Wednesday
night after the tractor-trailer
rig he was driving took him

on a ride for his life when
his brakes failed. Kennedy
was driving a 1974 Peterbilt
with a trailer load of wooden
poles and tried to stop at the
intersection of Highway 59
and 169 five miles south of
Garnett when he found he
had no brakes. The truck ran
through the stop sign, clipped
off a set of guardrails and a
concrete pillar, ran through a
barbed wire fence, a culvert,
then through another fence
and traveled approximately 1,200 feet through a field
before clipping off a tree and
dropping over into the creek.
February 1920
Monday morning the
Miles building, east of the
Welda State Savings Bank,
was discovered to be on fire
and the large stock of the
Farmers Cooperative store
and the post office and Jack
Johnsons residence were
totally destroyed. The fire
had gained such headway
before discovered that it was
impossible to save anything.
Fortunately, a hose from the
Santa Fe depot was brought
and attached to the hydrant
to supply plenty of water
which prevented the whole
north side of town from being
wiped out.
Update on information received
regarding past two columns
For the past two weeks, I
shared two early Anderson
County advertisements with
you.
In both columns I asked for
any information one may have
concerning these two businessmen.
This week let me share with
you the information I have
received thus far.
Mr. George D. Byerley,
Amiot, Kansas. Ive had two
responses concerning Mr.
Byerley. The first was an
e-mail message from Gayla
Corley which said, Registered
in Kansas 1941 Byerley, Geo.
D. Amiot, Ks. Graduate
Veterinarian.
The second was a phone call
I received, which led to a visit
to the Homer Riffey residence.
Homer remembered that as
a young boy George Byerley
being a single man and also
the community Veterinarian.
In fact he shared a time when
George came to their family
farm to assist with one of their

cows giving birth.
Neither responder recalled
any information concerning
George D. Byerleys, Buying,
Selling or Tanning fur/hide
business.
Mr. Hiel Dunsmore Rogers,
Glenloch, Kansas.
Again I only received two
responses concerning this
early Anderson County pioneer. The first response was
from my next door neighbor
Burke Rogers.
Hiel Dunsmore Rogers was
Burkes Great Grandfather.
The Grandfather of the late
Merle and Guy Rogers of
Garnett.
Hiel Dunsmore Rogers was
born Jan.15, 1852 in Pennsville,
Ohio. He married Lydia
G.Brown July 23 1871 in Ohio.
Hiel passed away March 22,
1920 in Gentry, Arkansas and
is buried in the Pleasant View
Cemetery near Glenlock, Kan.
Burke has no knowledge
of his Great Grandfathers
Broom & Brush manufacturing business in Glenlock or out
of his home.
The second response was
again from Gayla Corley. An

My sincere thanks to Gayla
Corley, Homer Riffey and
Burke Rogers for their wonderful responses.

FROM PAGE 4A
Shes going to have to keep
spending low so that those old
projects get done to spark a
new era in which maintenance
is paid for from federal funds
and from the motor fuel taxes
we pay every time we fill up.
And, if the Legislature goes
along with it in probably a year
or two we wont be siphoning
from the bank of KDOT the
portion of sales tax revenues
that can be used for new projects the need for which are tied
to not-quite-sudden but developing changes in the Kansas
economy.
Do you build a road to lure
a factory or new businesses to
Kansas in the next 10 years as
under old transportation plans,
or do you watch how the economy is growing, and where, and
then make the investment to
make it successful?
That new Forward program being considered also
will see local units of government investing in their futures
by participating in the cost
of highway projects in their
areas. Nothing like a local
investment to make things
work, rather than just hoping
highway-builders will buy
their lunches at local restaurants.
Yep, were interested in seeing how this works out

LOCAL
4Hers set to learn how to work together, pass laws
MANHATTAN – Last weekend,
239 youth delegates ranging in
ages from 13 to 18 convened on
a live, two-day, hands-on civics
lesson at the state capitol.
Citizenship in Action,
hosted by Kansas 4-H Youth
Development,
a
statewide K-State Research and
Extension program, will take
place in Topeka on Sunday and
Monday with teens from 50
Kansas counties learning how
the lawmaking process works.
This years 12th annual
event features a new twist to
creating legislation. Before
learning the process of crafting, debating, and passing bills
into law, youth delegates will
learn skills in deliberative
dialogue and finding common
ground around issues.
The process will be led by
nearly two dozen youth facilitators who received special training from the Institute for Civic
Discourse and Democracy at
Kansas State University. Those
young leaders will model the
deliberative dialogue concepts
and lead their peers through
the process.
The mock legislative process
will take place on Sunday, with
tours of the Kansas Statehouse
on Monday. Delegates will meet
local legislators and practice
communication skills while
advocating for how youth can
have greater engagement in
their communities.
The civics educational and
facilitation event is a coordi-
nated youth-adult partnership
between State 4-H Council
Youth, Kansas 4-H Youth
Development and the ICDD.
This project is an invigorating and innovating practices in
collective decision-making by
employing a well-tested model
for deliberation the National
Issues Forums protocol in
a legislative enactment, said
Donna Schenck-Hamlin, program manager for the ICDD
and the Center for Engagement
and Community Development.
By using the NIF model,
Schenck-Hamlin said Kansas
4-H Youth will probe for values that underlie alternative
perspectives on an issue, then
find common ground for constructing proposals bills
Public
to address the issue.
They are taking responsibility for not only developing
consensus, but for monitoring
their own reflections on the
process of listening, comparing and deciding what might
work for the greater good,
she said. ICDD is proud to
collaborate in this pilot run
of legislation through deliberation by Kansas 4-H youth. We
look forward to learning how
the experience influences how
decision-making at the local
community and 4-H club are
made.
Citizenship in Action is
a culmination of a series of
new 4-H programming initiatives called Conversation
Bootcamps, Youth Facilitation
Training, and Community
Conversation Forums.
Topics selected by youth for
deliberative dialogue will center on three significant issues
to discuss, debate and craft legislation:
Mental Illness in America.
How Do We Prevent Mass
Shootings in our Communities?
Land Use Conflict.
Kansas 4-H continually
refines our learning experiences to better equip young people
with the skills they need to be
successful, said Wade Weber,
state program leader for 4-H
Youth Development at K-State.
I am so proud of how youth are
bettering themselves through
4-H to be positive contributors
to the discussions and deci-
sion-making that is happening
daily in Kansas communities.
4-H Youth Development is
the youth development program for K-State Research and
Extension and is available in
all 105 Kansas Counties. 4-H
provides experiences where
young people learn by doing.
Kids complete hands-on projects in areas like health, science, agriculture, and citizenship, in a positive environment
where they receive guidance
from adult mentors and are
encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles. To find

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 18, 2020
Young at Heart
Glenn Brunkow, Pottawatomie
County farmer and rancher
This past week I was lucky
enough to be allowed to attend
the Young Farmers and
Ranchers Leaders Conference
in Manhattan. I say lucky
enough because I have come to
grips with the realization that
I am no longer a young farmer
or rancher. I guess it is the
gray in my beard or maybe the
fact that I have children who
attend the conference on their
own. Either way I am allowed
to attend but not qualified.
The YF&R program is something that is near and dear
to my heart. It was where
Jennifer and I got our first
taste of Kansas Farm Bureau
and saw the power and importance of not just being a member but being involved. It was
where we learned that while
attending was a sacrifice, what
we got back was more than
worth the time invested.
I must admit my motivation
for attending the conference is
somewhat selfish. Yes, there
are many great workshops,
and I always come away with
great information and ideas,
but the workshops are not the
most important thing. The
conference also has some of
the most incredible speakers,
and often they are very motivational. While I need as much
motivation as possible, and I
enjoy a great speaker, that is
not my number-one reason for
attending.
No, my greatest motivation
for attending is to soak up the
energy and excitement that
comes with being in a room
with nearly 600 of the best
and brightest in agriculture
in Kansas. The passion that
comes from the young farmers
LOCAL
7A
and ranchers in Kansas Farm
Bureau is incredible. They are
the newest and best trained
professionals in our business
and excited about the future.
If you have ever been
worried about the future of
agriculture, you have never
attended this conference. It
is so infectious, even an old
guy like me can catch it. I
must admit I learn a lot from
this group, and my energy and
enthusiasm levels are through
the roof after this weekend.
It is refreshing to see the
way new technology and ideas
are embraced and considered.
Again, I must admit as an old
guy I am envious of how easily
they adapt to the ever-changing landscape of agriculture.
Often skeptics wonder how we
are going to meet the challenge
of feeding a growing world
population. Spend the weekend at the YF&R Conference
and it will be apparent.
Optimism and enthusiasm
are infectious, and after this
weekend I have caught it. I
must admit that this conference makes me a little jealous if only I could find the
fountain of youth and start all
over again. I guess in a way I
did find that fountain of youth
at the conference; just being
there made me feel young
again. OK, maybe that is overstating it, but I am grateful
they allowed this old-young
farmer to tag along.

Kansas Senate considering
bill that would allow older
Kansans to renew their
drivers licenses online
By Nolan Brey
KU Statehouse Wire Service
TOPEKA A Kansas Senate
committee is considering a bill
that would allow Kansans aged
50 to 64 to renew their drivers licenses online as well as
a bill that would allow Kansas
license renewal notices to be
sent electronically.
Kent Selk, the driver services manager for the Kansas
Department of Revenues
Division of Vehicles, testified in favor of the two bills
in a Senate Transportation
Committee hearing Tuesday
morning.
Were doing all of our
efforts to make sure were staying at the forefront of stuff and
providing as many services as
we can, trying to be customer-service friendly, just change
peoples perception about
licensing, Selk said after the
hearing.
Kansans under the age of 65
must renew their license every
six years. To do so, Kansans
must pass a vision exam and
pay the applicable fees.
Kansans between the ages
of 21 and 50 have been able
to renew their licenses online
for two years through the iKan
app. The Division of Vehicles
set this age range after consulting with Kansas optometrists
and ophthalmologists, Selk
said.
However, since the online
renewal was introduced, Selk
said the Division of Vehicles
has received feedback and is
now extending the age limit to
64, an idea introduced to the
Legislature in SB 326.
Individuals are like, What
happens to me at 51 that I fall
apart? Whats the difference?
Selk said.
The requirements to renew
online are the same as at a
physical Division of Vehicles
location, Selk said. However, to
renew online, individuals must
have had a vision test within
the last 12 months. Moreover,
individuals may not renew
online two times in a row.
And despite the demand for
REAL ID as the Oct. 1 deadline
approaches, individuals cannot
apply for it online nor can they
change their addresses online.
Selk said the Division of
Vehicles will be ready to accept
the additional online renewals
if the bill is passed.
We didnt change anything
about the process other than let
the age go up to 64, Selk said.
Kansans are currently noti-
fied that their licenses are
about to expire through colorful postcards that are mailed to
license holders. SB 342 would
allow Kansans to opt in to
receiving email notifications
instead of receiving postcards,
Selk said.
It gives us a chance to communicate with you a little sooner, Selk said. Hey, youre six
months out. Youre 60 days out
and be cost effective that way.
Selk said the goal is not to
eliminate the postcards altogether but to eliminate them
for those who prefer to receive
correspondence electronically.
Sen. Kevin Braun, R-Kansas
City, said during the hearing
that he thought mailings and
text messages would be more
effective than emails.
Email has replaced junk
mail, Braun said. The more
effective method for communication in todays day and
age is going back to someone
physically having to take something in the mail. If it was dual,
where you do both, Im good
with that. I would almost say
that a consideration of a text
would be even more effective
because that isnt flooded yet.
Regardless, Selk said that
electronic notifications would
be more convenient for many
Kansans.
This could be a little bit
better way for us to communicate, be a little clearer, and not
look at this busy renewal card
that people probably cant read.
You only read so far, Selk said
after the hearing.
Both bills are still being
considered by the committee.
However, at the conclusion of
the hearing, Sen. Mike Petersen
(R-Wichita), chair of the Senate
Transportation Committee,
said he wanted to work both
bills fairly quickly.

of Kansas senior from Sabetha

BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
OSAWATOMIE – Early on
the Anderson County Lady
Bulldogs and Osawatomie
were in a tight game before
the Bulldogs eventually pulled

night.
Osawatomie played well
in the first and kept the game
close as the two teams headed

at 12.

gain some separation. In each
period the Bulldogs would
tally 15 points while limiting
Osawatomie to 10 to take a 27-22
lead into halftime and extend
their advantage to 42-32 heading into the fourth.

Hartford runs past Crest girls
Crest boys get much
AC girls rally late vs. Iola needed win over Hartford
BY KEVIN GAINES
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
IOLA – The last time these
two teams met, the Anderson
County girls cruised to a 54-37
victory at home to open the
season over Iola, but this time
would be much different.
The teams battled to a 10-10
tie after the first quarter before
Iola rallied in the second period to take a 23-18 lead into halftime.
The Bulldogs would chip
away slightly in the third quarter by outscoring Iola 12-10 in
the quarter and trimming the
deficit to 33-30 heading into the
fourth.
Anderson County put the
clamps down defensively over
the final 8 minutes limiting Iola
to just 4 points, while notching
13 points of their own, in the
fourth quarter to turn their 3
point deficit into a 6 point victory.
Huge first quarter helps Waverly
cruise over Lady Vikings
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – Waverly dominated the first quarter and put
the game on cruise control over
the final three periods in a 50-27
victory last Tuesday.
A first quarter explosion
saw the Lady Vikings facing a
daunting deficit all evening as
Waverly was up 29-6 after the
first 8 minutes of play.
The Vikings would outscore
Waverly each of the next two
quarters, 9-8 and 7-5, but not
nearly enough to make a serious dent in Waverlys lead.
With the score 42-22 heading into the fourth, Waverly
capped the victory with an 8-5
advantage over the final eight
minutes.
Taryn Compton notched
10 points on the night to lead
Central Heights.

BY KEVIN GAINES

tight contest, 38-36.

after the first quarter.

the third period and knotted
the score up at 25 each heading

combined in the second and
third quarters, Waverly ended
up on top by knotting 13 points
in the fourth quarter to win the
game by a basket.
Alex Cannady and Jared
Crawford paced the Vikings
with 9 points each.
Iola wins big over AC boys
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
IOLA – In the season opener for
both teams, Iola would rally
from a 6 point halftime deficit to knock off the Anderson
County Bulldogs 46-40, but
unfortunately for AC this time
would be much different as Iola
would win handily 77-59.
The loss was also the 8th
straight loss for the AC boys.
Iola pounced on the Bulldogs
early and led 23-5 minutes after
the first quarter.
AC would battle back in the
second and cut into Iolas lead
with a 16-9 quarter advantage
to make the score 32-21 at intermission.
Iola would win each of the
next quarters, including a 29
point explosion in the fourth
quarter to cap the impressive
win.
Iola shot an impressive 66%
(31-47) from the field on Friday
night. That includes knocking
down 8 of 11 (72%) three-pointers.

COLONY – The Crest boys
have been in a funk lately as
it seemed what could go wrong
did go wrong as they had lost
5 straight contests but they
got a much needed win over
Hartford, 44-35 on Tuesday
night.
Crest and Hartford ended
the first quarter knotted at 7
points each.
Crest started to distance
themselves slightly in the second quarter, leading 16-12 at
intermission.
In the decisive third quarter,
Crest outscored Hartford 13-5
to take a double digit lead heading into the final quarter, 29-17.
The pace really picked up in
the fourth quarter as the two
teams combined for 33 points in
the fourth quarter after scoring
just 46 points in the first three
quarters combined.
Hartford more than doubled
their total for the first three
periods but it wasnt nearly enough as Hartford only
chipped three points off of the
deficit.
Zach Beckmon scored 22
points, 10 rebounds and had 3
assists to pace the Lancers.
Kobey Miller chipped in
with 11 points and 9 rebounds.
Crest downs Pleasanton
for 2nd straight win
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – On Wednesday
night, Crest won their second
straight game and seemingly
have a renewed confidence with
a 56-44 win over Pleasanton.
Crest jumped out on top
of Pleasanton 10-4 in the first
quarter and stretched their
lead to 25-15 at halftime.
The second half was back
and forth but Pleasanton was
unable to make a run at the
Lancers.
Pleasanton scored 19 points
in the third quarter and 10
more in the fourth and Crest
scored 18 in the third quarter
and 13 in the fourth.
A trio of players scored in
double figures on the night for
the Lancers.
Zach Beckmon led the way
with 16 points, Stetson Setter
added 15 and Kobey Miller
scored 13 points and also added
11 rebounds.
Tyson Hermreck had a team
high 12 rebounds to go along
with 4 points.
Lancers hang on for
third win of the week
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
In a week that started with
the Crest Lancers staring at a 5
game losing streak that included some gut wrenching, self-inflicted losses, now they are
riding much more momentum
after their third win in four
days after a narrow 53-52 victory against Oswego on Friday
Oswego led 14-12 after the
first quarter and 29-27 at intermission.
Crest came out of the locker
room and quickly turned their
deficit into a four point lead
heading into the final quarter,
39-35.
This was a game that the
Lancers would have likely lost
during their five game slide,
but this time they were able to
eek out a narrow one point win
after being outscored 16-14 in
the fourth.
Zack Beckmon led the way
with 21 points and was followed
closely by Kobey Miller with 19
points.

defeat.
Hartford locked down defensively limiting Crest to just two
first quarter points and 9 in the

The Crest girls were up 15-6
after the first quarter and went
into the halftime break leading
21-15.
Pleasanton kept chipping

quarter, working themselves to

final quarter, 30-25.
Unfortunately for the Lady

Lilly makes a friend at school
By Lillian Morgan
4th Grade, St. Rose
Mrs. Foltz
First Place
Hello, Im Lily. I moved to
America from China, here is
my story.
Come on Lily were going
to be late! said Mrs. Chang.
Why do I even have to go
to school! I dont even know
how to speak American!
shouted Lily. You can
learn, now get your bag
and dont shout. said Mrs.
Chang.
Lily opened the car door
and climbed in, and her
mom Mrs. Chang started
the car. When
they got to the
school Lilys
mom
kissed
her goodbye,
she waved as
she left. When
Lily got into the
school, she looked at the
map on the little piece of
paper her mom gave to her
a few days ago. Then after
Ni hao, said Lily. Oh,
you dont speak English,
well good luck with that
FREAK! said the voice.
Lily looked up; it was the
girl who laughed at her in
class with her friends. Lily
felt like crying. She only
knew one word that the girl
said that word was freak.
She got up and ran to the
other end of the playground,
saying to herself as she
went Nobody understands
me, they dont understand
how I feel or even what Im
saying! When the bell rang
Lily didnt go inside until
everyone else was gone.
Then as she was walking by
the janitors closet, she saw
the mean girl walking down
the hall. So, Lily ducked into
the closet and sat on a mop
bucket.
Then she started to cry
but suddenly, the door
opened. A tall man with
dark hair and brown skin
came in. Lily said Oh sorry,
do you need your bucket?
No, stay. He said. Wait,
you understand me? Of
course! Why are you hiding? Because I dont fit in
here and everyone laughs
at me and calls me names.
Lily said. Well, I think that
is a good thing that youre
different. You are like a
beautiful Chinese Lilly.
They are like red roses, all
the same and thorny. They
laughed. Lily felt a lot better
and now knew she had a
friend.
a huge buck appeared from
the woods. He was panting so
hard, John could hear him.
Slowly, he raised his rifle
and took aim. Just as he
squeezed the trigger the buck
leaped and disappeared into
the woods. The roar of the
gun echoed across the woods
as John sighed his disappointment.
Suddenly, an ear-splitting
scream came from the forest as John stood up. A panther! John quickly loaded his
gun extra strong and stepped
behind a tree as the crashing
in the brush became louder.
A chill ran down his spine as
a huge black panther jumped
into sight!
Slowly, John raised his
gun and then the panther saw
him. He snarled in rage and
crouched down for a jump.
Then he sprung, dirt and
bushes went flying as he tore
through the bush at John.
John took aim and fired at
the flying black missile. A
scream tore the air and the
panther dropped at Johns
feet, dead. Sweat stood out on
Johns forehead as he looked
at the dark silent form lying
on the ground.
Quickly he skinned it and
walked home. John grinned
to himself. Maybe next time
I can get that huge buck the
panther was chasing.
mostly meant for cars, so its
not bad. I got to the market,
walked to the refrigerated
section, and grabbed a carton of eggs. When I was walking up to the front to pay for
the eggs, people were staring at me, like something
was wrong with me. The
cashier scanned the eggs,
but he actually said something to me. Oh my gosh!
Are you Ashlyn Crogan?,
he screamed. Um yes, I
replied sounding very confused. Where have you been
all these years? he asked.
At home, I said, still, very
confused. Oh. Okay! Have a
safe trip! Okay I will.
I was walking home, wondering why the cashier knew
my name, even though Ive
never seen him in my entire
life. What just happened?
Why does he know my
name? Why was everyone
staring me? Those were just
some of the questions I was
asking myself. I was about a
quarter of the way across the
bridge when I bumped into
a lady that looked like she
was in her 40s. Oh! Sorry,
I wasnt paying attention.
I said feeling really embarrassed. Ashlyn?, she said,
sounding hopeful. Yes,
I said hoping she would
answer my questions. She
grabbed my arm, lifted up
my sleeve, and hugged me
as she said, Oh! Its really
you! I pushed her away and
screamed, Get off of me!
Who are you? Im your
mother you dont remember me? No youre not
my mom! Where have you
been? At home with my
mom. My real mom. Oh,
honey. Whoever she is, she
brainwashed you. What
are you talking about? Do
you have a picture of her?
Yes. Show me. I pulled
out my phone and showed
her the picture. She looks
nothing like you! Come
with me Mom.
I started walking back up
to my moms house with
my real mom. As we were
walking, I started to realize
that I didnt even know my
biological mothers name!
In fact, I didnt know anything about her! I decided
to ask her some questions.
So whats your name? I
asked quietly. My name is
Abigail Crogan, she said.
Ashlyn, you dont have
to be shy. She said as we
kept walking. I know, I
responded. Now, we were
about three-fourths of the
way across the bridge. I
decided to text the imposter:
Im almost there. In two
minutes she responded: Ok
honey! Who are you texting? my mom asked. The
imposter, I said. Why?
she asked, sounding confused. I just said that Im
almost there, I said. A few
minutes later we finished
walking across the bridge.
The house was just a minute or two away. We finally
arrived and I walked in first.
Hey, Mom. I got the eggs, I
said cautiously. Oh! Thank
you! Im so glad youre
okay!, she said thankfully.
I got a few weird stares
for some reason, I said
as I walked towards her.
Huh I wonder why, she
said looking proud of herself. Yeah I wonder why
mom. I said with a smile
on my face. Why did you
say it like that?, she said
sounding a little nervous. I
dont know? Why dont you
ask my mom?, I said as my
real mom walked in. The
imposter looked up slowly at my mom. How did
you find her? How did you
know? Who told you?, she
asked me angrily. Dont
ask me, ask the police!, I
said excitedly as two policemen walked in. One of the
policemen took out handcuffs as he said, Youre
under arrest for kidnapping. He walked over, put
the handcuffs on her, and
put her in the police car. I
watched as she was driven
away in a police car.

Kinley is my favorite out

homeschooled too. I love my
new life, but I wish I would
have grown up like this.
Thank you for reading my
story. I hope you learned to
appreciate your parents for
taking time out of their lives
to care for you and look for
you if youre missing like
a few minutes, Lily found
her classroom. A voice from
beside her said Youre
late. She jumped and
turned around. It was the
teacher. She didnt understand but a girl and her
friends laughed so she knew
it was bad. After class she
followed her classmates to
the playground. Lily walked
by the basketball court. As
she walked, she was watching over shoulder and BAM!
She fell over. Hello! said a

The Imposter

Ms. Dunn
First Place
Mom, can you help me?
I yelled to my mom from
upstairs. With what?
she yelled back to me. My
math!, I responded. I heard
her walking up the creaky
steps. She walked into my
room and said, What problem are you on? Number
seven, I replied. Okay,
whats the problem? Its
16 2t = 5t + 9, but I forgot
how to solve them, so I cant
compare the two problems.
Honey, if you werent
homeschooled, youd be a
freshman in high school!
she said, sounding annoyed,
You should know this by
now! I know Mom, but I
forgot! I replied in a sassy
tone. If youre going to be
sassy you can figure it out
by yourself! she snapped
back as she walked out. I
never figured it out.
Here, I said as I handed
Mom the worksheet. Oh,
youre done already? she
asked looking confused.
Yup!, I said excitedly.
Okay, Ill check it! I sat on
the couch and waited. A few
minutes later she handed it
back to me and said You
only missed one! Really?,
I asked excitedly. Yes! Only
one! Id never gotten such
a good grade before! My
mom gave me really hard
assignments that she knew
I couldnt do. She basically
gave me a worksheet and
told me to do it. If she actually taught me something,
which was rare, she taught
me the hardest methods
to remember. Its like she
expected me to be the smartest person on earth! It was
9:37 PM, so I decided to go to
bed.
I woke up at 9:23 AM and
went downstairs.
I got down the
creaky steps,
smelled freshly
cooked bacon,
and heard the
bacon sizzle in
the
frying pan. Smells
good, Mom! I said. Yup,
its fresh bacon from the
market, she replied. She
walked over to the fridge,
opened it, and said Oh
dear! What? I said sounding confused. Were out of
eggs! she replied, I would
go to the market, but I still
have bacon cooking and I
dont trust you to finish.
I could go to the market,
Mom! I dont think you
should walk to the market by yourself, Ashlyn.
Come on, please? I dont
know, honey. Mom, I
havent been outside for
937 days! Why did you
count? Mom! Stay on
track! Fine. You can go.
Heres some money.
I walked out and got
super excited to be outside,
but I didnt know what was
about to happen to me.
Bye, Mom! I said excitedly not expecting what
was about to happen. Bye,
honey! Be careful!, she said
as I walked away. I was just
casually walking to the market, still, not expecting anything life-changing to happen to me that day. I walked
across the bridge that goes
from Humble, Texas, my
hometown, to Houston,
Texas. The bridge is only
about a mile long, but it was

One Wish
By Sage Partida
4th Grade, St. Rose
Mrs. Foltz
Second Place
Once upon a long time
ago there was a genie and
her name was
Violet.
She
was a very
pretty genie
but she was
lonely. She was
in her lamp one
day. All the sudden her
lamp was being shook! And
then it stopped. What happened! she said. She was
worried, scared, and surprised. Someone had found
her lamp! It was shocking!
Someone found me? she
said. Someone found me.
Violet said again. I have
never been found and someone did. This is amazing!
I have been waiting for so
long and it happened.
After a while she settled
down and slept. Then, the
person who found her was
a guy and his name was
Jake and he saw a little bit
of dirt on it. Then, out she
went. What is happening?
she said and found herself
laying on grass. What did
you do to me? she said
Nothing! Jake said. And
how did you get here?
asked Jake I dont know?
said Violet and they kept on
arguing. Then, she finally
said Ok, I am a genie. said
Violet I am Jake. he said.
So they kept talking about
each other.
Ahh. They said together Thank you. Said Violet.
For what? said Jake. For
letting me see this place.
Oh, no problem. Said
Jake. So he showed her his
house. He said How do you
like it? How do I like it? I
love it! said Violet.
(10 years later)
Ahh, they both said.
Were already married.
said Violet But. said Jake
But what? said Violet.
But I have not made my 3
wishes yet. He said. Well
then? Violet said, Whats
your 3 wishes? Well, 1 to
have a family of our own.
Second for our family to
have a dog. Third to set you
free. Her bracelets fell off
and they lived happily ever
after and his wishes were
granted.

autism. My brothers name
is Waylon and he is 13 years
old. I love my brother but
he can be a real pain sometimes! My mom tells me

Trust
By Alexis Wiser
4th Grade, Central Heights
Mrs. Cutburth
Third Place
Trust is something you can
gain and you can lose.
It is something to hold on to.
Something to cherish.
Something to be thankful for.
You must earn trust.
Then you might gain some.
Youll know when earned trust.
Deemy and
the Robbers
By Lydia Miller
6th Grade, Central
Plains
Mrs. Miller
Third Place
Long ago, in 1954 or 55,
little Deemy Miller was
about 6 or 7 when her mom
told her she has to bring in
a big wagon loaded full of
wood to burn for warmth in
their little wood stove. It was
almost dark. Mom and all
the others except for Harry
(Deemys brother that was
sick), went out to milk the
cows.
Deemy didnt really want
to, because the jail down the
river had been built and a
robber had escaped and the
police were always searching their farm because
they thought he might be
hiding on it. So
she slowly pulled
the wagon out
to the woodshed
and filled it, and
pulled it back to
the house, emptied it in the wodbox. By now it was dark, She
slowly pulled it back to the
woodshed and was putting
some wood on the wagon,
when from behind the woodpile someone said, I SEE
YOU! Deemy screamed and
ran into the house, shut the
door, and leaned on it. By
now the robbers knew she
would tell someone so they
were running over the road,
and there were police there
waiting, and handcuffed
them and took them away.
This is a true story! Deemy
Miller is now my Grandma.

Fred & Ann Mouse
By Demi Miller
5th Grade, Central Plains
Mrs. Miller
Second Place
Fred and Ann are two
mice who decided to go look
for a home. After an hour
or so they found the perfect
home under the
ground sheltered by rock.
It was nice
and cozy inside
except the only
thing that was
wrong with it was that a
house was only 50 yards
away. That might actually
be good because they always
had lots of cheese.
So they made the inside of
their house nice and soft for
their bed.
One night they decided to
go to the house and get a lot
of cheese. They went down
the little hill with their
headlights. When they came
to the door they gnawed a
hole into the screen and
climbed in. On the table
there sat their favorite kind
of cheese, Swiss. (Their
favorite cheese is full of
holes.) So they climbed up
3B
on the table and found a
huge knife. They started to
chop off a huge chunk of
cheese, and when they were
almost half way through,
they heard a snarl. When
they turned around they
saw a huge orange cat. They
quickly jumped into one of
the holes in the cheese.
The cat snarled again.
He jumped upon the table
and started sniffing around.
Finally the cat gave up and
went away. They finished
sawing off their chunk of
cheese. Then, they pushed it
off the table, climbed down,
and carried it to their cozy
little house. Then they fell
fast asleep. The next morning, when Ann woke up,
everything was white and it
was still snowing. Fred had
already made a fire in the
fire place and was drinking
coffee at the window.
So Ann got up and drank
a cup of coffee also. Then
they both sat down and ate
all the cheese they wanted.
There was only about a 1/12
of it eaten. So they lived happily ever after.
Tricky Boys
Ben and Dan quietly
sneaked around the house.
Their sister Beth was
hanging up clothes on the
wash-line. Taking a rock,
Dan threw it at the dress
that hung in front of Beth.
Thwop, Beth screeched and
yelled at the boys to stop.
Ben and Dan were laughing
their heads off as they ran
for the barn.
A big maple trees branch
hung 10 feet above the line
and that was where Ben
was, slung across his back
was a stuffed man that
looked real and in his right
hand was a piece of balling
twine, and the twine was
fastened around the dum-
her face went white.
Beth turned and ran for
the boys madder than a
bull.
They were laughing so
hard they could barely run
for the safety of the barn.
They zipped up the hay loft
ladder then disappeared
down another hole. With
Beth right at their heels.
Ben and Dan ran into the
milk house and locked the
door.
Beth pounded on the
door and then the boys still
laughing pounded back.
Maybe next time, they
heard their sister mutter
as she ran for the other
milk house door. As soon
as she was out of sight Ben
and Dan ran for their hiding place at the back of the
barn.
The milk house door
opened and Beth stepped
out. Those tricky boys!
she yelled then was gone.

The Hedgehogs Favor
By Braden Phillips
4th Grade, GES
Ms. Guss
Honorable Mention
Once there was a hedgehog. He was plump, kind, and
trustful. Hedgehog was bringing food over to Grandma
Tortoise because she was too
old to get it herself. Hedgehog
was walking on a trail through
the forest, when he dropped
an apple. His hands were full,
so he couldnt pick it up. He
noticed his friend, Bird, sitting
on a tree. Hedgehog politely
asked Bird if he could pick up
the apple for him. Bird assisted Hedgehog and gave him the
apple. Hedgehog thanked Bird
and went on his way.
Hedgehog started walking
into a marsh, and he accidentally dropped a few seeds into
the mud. He couldnt pick
them up because he couldnt
find them in the marsh. He
saw his friend frog hopping
around a tree, and asked him
if he could help him find the
seeds. Frog agreed and they
looked together. Eventually,
Frog found the seeds and gave
them to Hedgehog. Hedgehog
was grateful and thanked Frog
for his help. Hedgehog continued on his way to Grandma
Tortoise.
He was walking to a river
that was across from Grandma
Tortoises house. He was about
to cross the river but then he
tripped on a rock and dropped
some bread. He couldnt pick
it up because he was about to
drop everything else. He spotted his friend Bobcat sleeping
in a bush. He tried to get his
attention, but Bobcat didnt
notice. Since nobody could help
Hedgehog, he tried to pick up
the bread. He was walking to
it but he slipped because he
was off balance and fell into the
river. He pleaded and yelled for
help, which woke up Bobcat.
Bobcat saw Hedgehog, but just
walked over and grabbed the
food. Then Bobcat ran away
and left Hedgehog in the river.

Mrs. Cutburth
Honorable Mention
Once there was a litter of puppies. They were all honestly super
tremendous puppies. They all had a
HUGE future ahead of them. When
they were six weeks old each of
them got adopted they each got a
marvelous family. One family
already started training their pup
some behavior abilities. This is a
pup named Marco, hes so adorable.
When he was 8 weeks old he
caught a frisbee. Thats truly a smart
pup. We can tell that Marco has
a marvelous future ahead of him.
He has learned amazingly much. It
seems like Marco will never stop
learning.
Marco was 3 months old and he
was more intelligent than every pup
in his litter! It was brilliant to have
a pup to play with. His breed is a
Labrador retriever so he will fetch
things from the water. Its very
entertaining. Marco has a 9-yearold sibling in his new family. His
sibling is a girl they have amazing
times together. But one sad day they
found out that Marco had worms
every day they checked on Marco in
the vet. The family was so sad.
When they went to the vet one
Saturday they were so glad. The
veterinarian said that They gave
Marco enough treatment and that he
will be OK! The family was so glad
they were about to cry. After a couple of days, Marco was Marco again.
He was a better swimmer than he
was before. His family taught him
more tricks than he knew before.

Potato Man lived in a human
land and they called him Potato
man.
One day, Potato Man went to
a restaurant in a human land. He
saw mashed potatoes in a can, He
ordered it. His food arrived. The
mashed potatoes cried, his potato
friends have been fried!
Potato Man said Dont you
cry, Ill bring you home and stuff
you in a pie. It was their time to
say goodbye. Potato Man did not
like the pie, afterwards he cried.
He went to see his therapist and
said I have done something bad
but I do not know what. His
therapist answered Go to the
farm and visit your family.
Potato Man left the therapist
and went to the farm. He was
greeted with his mom saying
Oh no, your brothers are gone!
Potato Man said What, why?
They both started to cry. His
mom said They were sent off
somewhere on Friday morning
and did not come back. Potato
Man said Where were they
sent? His mom responded Off
to a restaurant to eat breakfast
at the happy potato. Potato Man
said I ate there on Friday. His
mom said What did you order
there?
He said The mashed potato
meal. His mom was mad and
yelled You are adopted! Potato
Man was confused he was born
in the ground, obviously he was
adopted so he said I know? His
mom said sadly You ate your
brothers you know like Tommy,
Jimmy, and Lil, Gerald?
Potato Man was sad he went
to the funerals and he gave a
speech It is always sad when
you lose someone you loved, but
that means you had the chance to
love someone. Not everyone has
a chance to love, so you were one
of the lucky ones.

A long, long time ago, there were
three kids named Margo, Lilly, and
Zoe, and they were to rob a candy shop.
Remember, this was like the year 1948.
So, they were going to rob the candy
shop, but they first had to stop and
get some peanut brittle. After they
The Sunset
got that they were on their mission to
the candy shop. When they got there,
Margo went straight for the gummy
bears, Lilly went straight for the taffy,
and Zoe went straight for the peanut
M&Ms. Well they did get all the candy!
Of course they did, its candy!
When they tried to get out of
there, there were police officers. (OH!
NO!) When they tried to escape from
the other side their parents caught
them. Then they went to juvenile
court, and we never saw them again.

As I drove on that busy city street, I wondered what the world looked like without the
city. I asked myself this until I came up with
an idea. A new chapter. New parts to the
story. I researched homes and land plots.
The next day I packed up my wife and
kids and headed for the country. I had found
a good house with good land for farming and
soon we were fully operational. We had plen-

Hello
By Avery Coble
6th Grade, C. Heights
Ms. Dunn
Honorable Mention
Maggie was sitting in her
bed listening. It was two in the
morning and she had school
the next day. She couldnt
sleep, she heard nothing,
she saw nothing but she felt
something. So she whispered
Hello. Then outside she
heard a low growl followed
by loud crashing. She didnt
think much of it because she
knew her neighbors had dogs
that growled at wind it seemed
and were very noisy. Then she
felt normal and laid down.
She was almost asleep
when she felt someone touch
her shoulder and say Hello
Maggie, I will miss you.
Maggie was startled by this
and she jumped out of bed
and ran into the living room.
When she entered the living
room she heard Hello Maggie
Hello.
She heard it from all around,
she panicked and screamed.
Then the noise abruptly
stopped. Maggie stood in
shock wondering, panicking, thinking. Maggies
parents rushed into the
living room obviously
panicked too. Maggie told
them what she heard, they
said it was only her imagination and she needed
to go to sleep because she
had school the next day.
So Maggie went to bed
realizing that is the only
thing that it could have
been. Maggie laid down
calm knowing it was only
her imagination, but it
wasnt her imagination
she heard them again but
this time they were saying,
Goodbye, Maggie. We miss
you.
Maggie looked and looked
for the source of the voices
but the only place she hadnt
checked was the closet. When
she gathered enough courage
to look inside she opened the
closet and looked inside. She
didnt find the source of the
voices but she saw her parents
and siblings tied up in the closet.
This scared Maggie
because, what had
told her to go to bed
if her parents were
trapped? Maggie stood
there shocked, frightened, confused. Maggie
released her family,
then she asked them
what happened but it
was like they lost their
voices. Then Maggie
realized they didnt
know she couldnt hear
them. Maggie was about
to say she couldnt hear
them but before she
said a word her brother
said Hello.

Beef Cattle Health Night planned in Overbrook
Frontier
Extension
District will host, Beef Cattle
Health Night, Thursday,
March 12th. The meeting
will begin at 7:00 p.m., at
the Overbrook Livestock
Commission Company, 305
W. 1st Overbrook, Kansas.
Dr. A.J. Tarpoff, Kansas State
University Extension Beef
Veterinarian, will be the speaker for the evening. Dr. Tarpoff
will discuss lameness and the
fact that not all lameness is a
foot rot problem. In addition,
Dr. Tarpoff, will speak about
internal and external parasites
and their control options.
Internal and external parasites are a problem to cattle
which can reduce productivity and profitability of a cattle operation. Internal parasites affect the gastrointestinal tract by damaging and
irritating the stomach and
intestinal lining. The damage
results in decreased digestion
and absorption of nutrients as
well as protein and blood loss.
This can lead to further production losses like decreased
feed intake, reduced weaning
weight, poor feed efficiency,
reduced milk production and
reduced reproductive performance. Dr. Tarpoffs discussion will identify types and
symptoms of internal and
external parasites as well as
ways to diagnose and treat the
parasite problems.
Lameness is leg or foot pain
that affects how cattle move.
If left untreated, this can lead
to lost production and animal
welfare concerns. There are
many causes of lameness, it
can be caused by nutrition,
injury, environmental factors,
and infections. It is important
that the source of the lameness be diagnosed and treated
quickly to reduce or minimize
economic loss.
Please mark your calendars
and plan to attend the meeting March 12th in Overbrook.

District Extension Agent, at

rschaub@ksu.edu.
Plan now to assure
successful calving season
MANHATTAN – Cattle producers who have not yet started
the spring calving season still
have time to plan ahead, and a
Kansas State University veterinarian notes that could make
a big difference in having a
successful year.
This is the time for a
pre-emptive strike, said A.J.
Tarpoff, a beef veterinarian
with K-State Research and
Extension. If you havent
started calving yet on your
operation, now is the time to
start thinking about what you
can do to be ready.
Tarpoff noted that producers
need to make sure they have
the necessary supplies on hand,
which may require buying or
repairing items and facilities.
Then, he adds, set in motion a
plan to manage the birth of the
new calves.
Calving books are a phenomenal tool, Tarpoff said. It
could be just a little pocketbook where you write down
who calved, when they calved,
if there was difficulty, and
whether it was a male or female
coming out. There is a lot of
information that we can capture about the birthing process
so that were able to make better decisions within our herd
in the future.
One of the newer management techniques that can lead
to successful calving is to feed
cows at dusk. There have been
several research studies that
show reliable results that a
higher percentage of animals
are born during daylight hours
when we feed the cow in the
late evening hours, Tarpoff
said.
Feeding late in the evening,
he said, will help decrease midnight or early morning births,
which are hard on workers and
can make the birth more complicated if there are difficulties.
Tarpoff hosted a series of
calving schools across Kansas
over the last several weeks to
help the states producers be
adequately prepared to bring
in as many healthy animals as
possible. The final session for
this season was video-streamed
on Facebook Live. A recording of that session can be seen
on the K-State Research and
Extension Facebook page.
One of his recommendations
is that producers use a cooler to
store tools and equipment: On
cold days and nights, the cooler will help equipment to stay
nice and warm. We can close
it up and know that our equipment is not going to freeze, he
said.
