saying recent instances in

President Trump and other
conservatives in the wake of
the January 6 capitol riot had
revealed a management structure at those companies which
was toxic to certain political
ideologies. Hicks said the only
viable protest for believers in

those
platforms.

Salary raise for ecodevo head brings budget questions
Committee wants raise for
director, but commissioners
balk at budget tinkering
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A proposed salary increase
request for the joint city/county economic development director brought up
budget discipline discussions last week
at Garnetts city commission meeting,
and is expected to be a topic at an upcoming joint meeting with Anderson County
Commissioners in coming weeks.
Anderson
County
Economic
Development chairman Eric Glaze proposed commissioners meet the ask of
executive director Julie Turnipseed of
$65,000, saying she was hired at a below
market rate of $45,000 in the summer
of 2018 and that her accomplishments
to date warranted the increase. Annual
raises since then brought her salary to
$48,700.
Turnipseed came
to
Garnett
from
Warrensburg,
Mo.,
and
previously
Hendersonville, Ky.,
where she had headed
Main Street programs
a program started in
1980 by the National
Trust For Historic
Turnipseed
Preservation aimed at
revitalizing historic
and decrepit downtown business districts and embraced by many communities across the country. Glazesaid the
ACDA position had been converted from
part-time to full time when Turnipseed
was hired, and that since then her salary
had never caught up to standards in the
industry.
Commissioner Greg Gwin said the
time to discuss salary issues was during
the citys budget planning period, not
after the new budget year had already
started.
Were three weeks into the year, and
theyre (ACDA) wanting to blow the budget out of the water, Gwin said. Did
either ACDA or the county take that into
consideration?
Glaze said the committee understood the budgetary issues, but said
Turnipseeds accomplishments in leading
strategic initiatives, surveying businesses to determine their needs and challenges and development of programs since
shed been in Garnett qualified her for
the salary increase. He said Turnipseeds
passion for the job and the fact that
Coffey County was presently looking to

Voters to decide abortion in Kansas constitution
BY STEPHEN KORANDA
KANSAS NEWS SERVICE
TOPEKA, Kansas Lawmakers sent
voters a state constitutional amendment
Thursday that anti-abortion forces say
Kansas needs to keep existing laws intact
and that their opponents say could ultimately make abortions unattainable in
the state.
The amendment, which supporters
call Value Them Both, comes in response
to a 2019 Kansas Supremen Court ruling
that said there is a right to abortion in
the state constitution. The amendment
would overturn that by changing the constitution to specifically say that it does
not include a right to abortion and that
lawmakers can regulate the procedure.
The Senate passage triggers a statewide vote in the August 2022 primary
election. Approval by a simple majority
of voters would put the language into the
Kansas Constitution.
The House approved the amendment last week. The governor does not
play a role in amending the Kansas
Constitution, so Gov. Laura Kelly will
not be able to block it. She has criti-
cized the amendment because she said it
will drive economic growth away from
Kansas.
Supporters said voters should decide
if the Supreme Court ruling was correct.
Do you believe that the Kansas
Supreme Court got it right when they
said that our bill of rights, our Kansas
Constitution, does provide a constitutional right to an abortion? Republican
Sen. Virgil Peck said during debate. I, of
course, think it does not.

LICKTEIG
APRIL 26, 1937 – JANUARY 28, 2021
Ruth Frances Lickteig, age
83, of Greeley, Kansas, passed
away on Thursday, January
28, 2021, at Olathe Medical
Center in Olathe, Kansas.
Ruth was
the
third
of ten children
born
to William
H.
and
Margarette
C e c i l i a
(Brugger)
Lickteig
Talley. She
was born on
April 26, 1937,
in Tulsa, Oklahoma where she
grew up and graduated from
Marquette High School, Tulsa
in 1955. On April 4, 1959 Ruth
was united in marriage to
Leroy Lickteig, at St. Francis
Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
This union was blessed with
four children, Dan, Dennis,
Jim and Shari. Ruth was a
loving and dedicated wife to
Leroy for sixty-one years. Over
the course of those years, their
business had many partnerships, but Leroy and Ruths
union was the most successful
partnership of all.
Ruth spent her life devoted to her faith as a devout
member of St. Johns Catholic
Church. You could always
find her entering the side door
of church and sitting in the
third pew with Leroy. Church
activities were a priority to
Ruth and she willingly gave of
her time to serve on the altar
society and the church council. For many years she spent
her Friday mornings putting
together the church bulletin.
Ruth was an integral part of
the fall bazaar, she delighted
in helping to make the bazaar a
success. Each year was viewed
as a competition to beat their
previous record. She then loved
sharing the number of people
that were fed for months. You
knew if they werent in church
on Sunday they were traveling together to various destinations inside and outside of
the country. Leroy would say,
Ruth was always ready for
the next adventure. She would
go anywhere I wanted to go.
The community of Greeley
benefitted from her presence
as well. Ruth was very active
in the community events for
several years. One of her biggest impacts was her presence
along with her sisters at the
annual softball tournament.
Anyone that attended the tournaments waited in anticipation for their arrival for the 8
a.m. game. Their enthusiasm
and humor never disappoint-
ed.
People gravitated to Ruth.
She touched so many lives
with her constant humor, passion for life, selflessness, kindness, and simple ways. She was
without a doubt, the life of the
party and would want to be
remembered that way.
She was preceded in death
by her parents, Bill and
Margarette Talley; two sisters, Norma Dulany and Marie
Bollinger.
Ruth was a gift from God
to her family, she always put
them first. When her children
needed a hand, she was there.
Ruth was an example for all
of them, her legacy will live
on through her family as they
strive to be half the person
she was. She leaves behind
a dedicated family that will
talk lovingly and laughingly about her, including, her
husband, Leroy, of the home;
their children, Dan Lickteig
and wife, Deb of Richmond,
Kansas, Dennis Lickteig and
wife, Anita of Olathe, Kansas,
Jim Lickteig and Norma
Jean of Richmond, Kansas,
and Shari Mount and husband, Mike of Overland Park,
Kansas. Ruth touched not only
her childrens lives but her
eight grandchildren as well,
Scott Lickteig, Blake Lickteig,
Katie Lickteig, Brooke Griffin,
Emily Swan, Faith Mount,
Julia Mount, McKenna Mount
and six great-grandchildren,
who lovingly knew her as
GiGi, Levi, Ella, Collins,
Isabella, Beckett and Corbin.
Her six brothers and one
sister, Bill Talley of Tulsa,
Oklahoma, Jim Talley and
wife, Sue of Bixby, Oklahoma,
Ray Talley and wife, Carol
and Betty Moore and husband,
John of Owasso, Oklahoma,
Mack Talley and Ann of Tulsa,
Oklahoma, Paul Talley and
Doug Talley and wife, Debbie
all of Tulsa, Oklahoma. We all
look forward to sharing her
stories with those who never
had the privilege of knowing
her.
Mass of Christian Burial will
be held at 10:30 AM, Tuesday,
February 2, 2021, at St. Johns
Catholic Church in Greeley,

OCTOBER 9, 1927 – JANUARY 19, 2021
Frederick C. Litsch, age 93, of
Garnett, Kansas, passed away
on Tuesday, January 19, 2021,
at Richmond Healthcare in
Richmond, Kansas.
He
was
born October
9, 1927, in
Anderson
C o u n t y ,
K a n s a s ,
the son of
Fredrick
and Thresa
Litsch
(Brummel)
Litsch. Fred
married Betty
Jo Wolken, they later divorced.
Driven by his zeal for excitement Fred lived a life of adventure that started in his high
school years. After watching
war effort commercials during
movies at the Garnett theatre
he was determined to become
involved. However, at the age
of 16 none of the branches of
the military would accept him.
He was afraid if he waited
until he was 18 the war would
be over. Fred decided to quit
school and join the Merchant
Marines. They were accepting
young men between the ages
of 16 and 17 1/2 years, with
parental consent. This would
start Freds love of the sea that
would remain with him the
rest of his life.
After leaving the Merchant
Marines he joined the United
States Coast Guard. He was
in the United States Army
Reserve for two years, but
his love for the sea drew him
back to the United States Coast
Guard where he remained
until 1960. In 1961 he joined the
Kansas City Missouri Police
Department. While there he
was involved with many specialized units. He was on the
first SWAT Team KCMO implemented and went on to work as
a Detective, on the Vice Squad
and in the helicopter unit. He
was awarded Observer Wings
in the Helicopter Unit. While
at the Kansas City Missouri
Police Department, he received
seven letters of accommodation.
Upon leaving the police
department, he moved to
Franklin County where he
purchased land to spend time
during extended time off from
the police department. He also
took this opportunity to start
his own business in Richmond,
KS. The Hi-Way Inn was a bar
and grill where he enjoyed
spending time meeting people
when he wasnt working on his
farm.
When the construction
of Wolf Creek started he was
hired by Pinkertons Security
Service. He remained there
when the security contract
was transferred to Kansas Gas
& Electric and eventually he
would become the director of
security for the site.
In 1990, he was nominated by the Anderson County
Democratic Chairperson to
take the place of the Anderson
County Sheriff who had
resigned. He worked in this
capacity for two years. He went
back to security and worked
part-time as a consultant and
trainer until fully retiring; all
the while Fred remained very
active in attending training
courses, training with internationally recognized instructors, and attaining instructor
certifications in several different disciplines.
His zeal for life did not end
with retirement as he continued to stay very active. He traveled coast to coast assisting in
the restoration of old ships he
had worked on during his tenure in the Merchant Marines
and Coast Guard. It speaks
volumes that at 75 years old,
as a volunteer, he completed
a basic firefighter and rescue
swimmer course to assist others who were on the ships in
case of an emergency.
Fred was always ready to
go on an adventure. If he was
craving Sea Food, he drove to
Mobile, Alabama and got fresh
shrimp. If he saw a location
on the Discovery Channel that
interested him, he would pack
up and go to see it firsthand. He
collected several photo albums
of these trips and enjoyed sharing them with people.
Fred was preceded in death
by his parents, Fredrick and
Thresa Litsch, six sisters,
Dorothy Dora Boots, Barbara
Mersman, Emma Mardick,
Stella Nixon, Ethel Bartee, and
Helen Cooper; one brother,
LeRoy Bud Litsch.
He is survived by three
nieces, Leona Mae McKittrick
of North Ridge, California,
Ethyline Yvonne True of
Kearney, Nebraska, Dorothy
Bowman of Ottawa, Kansas;
one nephew, Randy Bowman;
several cousins and friends.
Cremation is planned and
private services will be held.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 2, 2021
OPINION
Elderly should be priorty
Our friends and neighbors who are most at
risk of being hospitalized or dying from COVID19 still dont seem to be getting the opportunity
to get a vaccine.
Healthcare workers were first in line and that
is appropriate since they are the most exposed
to the disease and we need them healthy and
ready to lead us through the pandemic. They
were included with long-term care patients and
critical pandemic response workers in Phase 1
and we are now in Phase 2.
Teachers seem to
be an obvious priority in Phase 2 since it
is crucial for a variety of reasons to keep
schools open and operating with kids in their
desks. Rural Kansas
is fortunate to have
been operating in-person schools since the
start of the year, while
schools in larger cities
have yet to bring all
kids back into school
buildings. If teachers
and educational support staff finally have
access to vaccinations,
maybe those schools
can get kids back too,
which will benefit
their mental health,
their academic success
and get society back to
some normalcy.
While
arguments
can be made for other
groups in this phase,
there seems to be a lot
of categories of people
labeled as critical
who are eligible for the
vaccine who are getting it before Kansans over 65-years-old who are
also supposed to be in Phase 2.
Considering the data associated with the
results of COVID-19 infections, there are too
many young adults outside of the healthcare
and education industries getting the vaccine
before older people whose lives are very much
at risk.
If you are 30 years old and have contract-
…there seems
to be a lot of
categories
of people
labeled as
critical who
are eligible for
the vaccine
who are get-
ting it before
Kansans over
65-years-old…
COMMENTARY
DAN THALMANN, WASHINGTON COUNTY NEWS
ed COVID in Kansas, according to Mondays
numbers provided by the Kansas Department
of Health & Environment, you have a 0.91%
chance of being hospitalized, and a .04% chance
of dying. That is an almost irrelevant risk.
In comparison, if you are 65 years old and
have a positive case of COVID, you have an
8.54% chance of being hospitalized and 3.11%
chance of dying. Those numbers jump significantly for 75-year-olds, who have a 14.8% chance
of being hospitalized and 9.65% chance of dying.
The chance of death almost doubles from there
for 85+ year-olds.
So why in the world are we vaccinating anyone under 35 years of age who arent working in
healthcare or working in a school while there
are still older folks who need the vaccine?
Any time a young adult gets the vaccine, that
is one less dose available for grandpa and grandma.
If you are a young adult who is eligible to
get the vaccine, please review the statistics and
consider giving up your spot in line so an older
person can get it.
If you do a risk analysis, based on raw numbers, the data shows even if you become infected
with COVID-19, youll be fine. Youll have another chance to get the vaccine. Our elderly population has a legitimate risk of death and may not
have a second chance. They have been jailed
in their own homes long enough. The only way
to curb the suffering and death is to vaccinate
those who are most at risk.

Even though you didnt vote for President

I would like to know after listening to the city

theyre going to come up with an extra $60,000
for economic development funding, period.
That is not gonna work. Thats going to come
out of our taxes.
I listened to the city council meeting online and
GameStop battle: The people versus the powerful
For those who havent heard, theres a bit
of a brouhaha brewing with the video game
retailer GameStop, which is publicly traded.
Much of Wall Street soured on the company,
believing it to be the next Blockbuster or
Radio Shack: a dinosaur from a bygone era
that has no hope of succeeding in the increasingly internet-run future. As a result, a major
Wall Street hedge fund worth billions decided
to make a bet that the companys already low
stock price would just keep going lower.
The traditional way to make money in
stocks was to find a company that was worth
more than what its stock price indicated, purchase the stock at a bargain, and then make
your money either through the companys distribution of its profits back to its equity owners or the appreciation of its stock price. Buy
low, sell high. But you can also make money
betting on a company to eventually circle the
toilet. This is called shorting.
To make money off a company thats not
making any, you short its stock by borrowing a share from an existing owner, immediately selling it and getting the cash proceeds
from the sale, and then buying back the stock
when its price dips and returning the share to
the original owner. It sounds simple enough,
but its also extremely risky.
Because youre borrowing an asset, you
have to pay interest on that debt, and over
time that can get increasingly expensive. Even
if the stock drops like you expected, those carrying costs can destroy any profit margin you
thought youd earn. And if the stock price goes
up, you could be facing financial ruin. Thats
because when you short a stock, your losses
GUEST COMMENTARY

are potentially unlimited.
Think about it this way: If you buy a stock
for $25, the most you could possibly lose if the
entire investment went belly up and the price
fell to $0 is $25, the price you paid for the stock.
On the flip side, your gains are potentially
unlimited, because who knows how high the
stock price could go.
Shorted stocks are the exact opposite. If you
short a stock at $50 you borrow the stock,
and immediately sell it at the current price
of $50 the most youll earn is $50. When the
stock approaches $0, youll buy it for pennies,
return the share back to the investor from
whom you borrowed it, and the difference is
your profit.
However, if the stock price goes up, so do
your losses. If it goes to $100, you have to buy
it at $100 in order to return it to its rightful
owner. But what if it goes to $1,000, or $10,000?
Your losses could be infinite. The same goes
for the various baskets of options and stock
derivatives that can be used to mimic the payouts of stock shorts.
This brings us back to GameStop. A major
hedge fund had a massive, and very public,
short position on GameStop. Enter Reddit.
A bunch of Redditors who followed the stock
market realized that this billion-dollar hedge
fund had a problem on its hand: Due to a combination of factors, GameStop somehow ended
up with more short positions than outstanding
shares.
The Redditors realized they could pull off
whats known as a short squeeze: If they
started buying up GameStop stock and refusing to sell it, they could crush the hedge fund
as its short positions came due, potentially
even driving it into bankruptcy, all while profiting in the market by purchasing a stock that
was once in the single digits and watching it
approach $50 and then $100 and $200 and even
$300.
At one point, it was estimated that the
losses accumulated by GameStop short-sellers approached $5 billion. Melvin Capital,
the now-notorious hedge fund with the huge
GameStop short position, eventually required
an infusion of $2.75 billion in cash from an
even larger hedge fund to cover its possession
and remain solvent.
And thats when the Wall Street empire
struck back. Suddenly, the federal Securities
and Exchange Commission, or SEC, which
purports to be a Wall Street regulator but
instead operates as little more than a Wall and
Broad soothsayer to a public skeptical of Wall
Streets power, weighed in and intimated that

Medias new mantra: Free speech for me, but not for thee
Long a stalwart defender of the First
Amendment, the American media is now having second thoughts.
For decades, it was a commonplace sentiment among journalists that freedom of the
press was one of the glories of our system. It
helped to make the government accountable
and to air diverse points of view — even unpopular ones — to be tested in the marketplace of
ideas.
Media organizations were at the forefront
of the fight to vindicate First Amendment
rights, with The New York Times involved in
two landmark Supreme Court decisions (New
York Times Co. v. Sullivan and the Pentagon
Papers case) and tended to rise as one against
any perceived threat to their prerogatives and
freedoms.
This advocacy has been sincere, although,
if nothing else, journalists should be First
Amendment purists out of a sense of self-interest. In a 2018 essay in The Atlantic representing the bygone conventional wisdom, titled
Why a Free Press Matters, the longtime
newscaster Dan Rather noted, As a working
journalist, I know I have a stake in this concept.
One would think so.
Yet, now journalists have lurched from
finding a threat to freedom to the press in
every criticism of reporters and news outlets
by former President Donald Trump to themselves calling for unwelcome media organizations to be shut down.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
Theyve become the thing they profess to hate
— closed-minded censors who want to stifle
free expression, First Amendment be damned.
Perversely, the TV program and email
newsletter of the top media analyst at CNN,
Brian Stelter, has been a clearinghouse for
such advocacy, whether it is demands to get
right-wingers removed from social media or
— more astonishingly — to keep conservative
cable networks off the airwaves.
Stelters colleague, media reporter Oliver
Darcy, tweeted about his effort to get cable
companies to answer why they carry proTrump channels like Newsmax and One
America News Network. Do they have any
second thoughts about distributing these
channels given their election denialism con-
tent? he asked on Twitter. They wont say.
In the same vein, Washington Post columnist Max Boot drew a direct line between how
we deal with foreign terror groups and how we
should treat right-wing media organizations.
We need, he wrote, to shut down the influencers who radicalize people and set them on
the path toward violence and sedition.
Boot noted, approvingly, that the U.K.
doesnt have the equivalent of Fox News
because regulators wont allow it. The U.K.
also doesnt have a First Amendment, a small
detail that might be worth considering if the
point is to protect our freedoms rather than
destroy them in a fit of ideological vengeance.
A writer at the progressive publication Mother
Jones argued for an advertiser boycott instead
of regulatory action in a post called, charmingly, Its Time to Crush Fox News.
A boycott wouldnt violate the First
Amendment like a direct crackdown on Fox
and others. Still, it would be private action
undertaken in the service of a profoundly
illiberal goal, running counter to the countrys
culture of free speech.
All of this would be bad enough if it werent
people who write and comment on TV for a
living advocating it. But journalists have been
moving in this direction for a while now, as
Armin Rosen catalogues in a disturbing report
for Tablet magazine.
The author, Steve Coll, who is no less than

I say I am amazed at how the Garnett economic
development committee wants to throw money
at people just because theyre a nice person.
Everyone whos met the economic development director knows she is a nice, pleasant
person. She gets some grants for us and she
has meetings and goes to lots of meetings like
all bureaucrats do, but how many jobs has she
really created in the couple of years shes been
in Garnett? What industries have we recruited
since shes been here and whats been the effect
on our tax base? Has our valuation increased
for any reason other than inflation? How about
employment? How about sales tax? This is a
business and I think the economic committee
should look at it like a business. I am all in favor
of rewarding good people for good work to try to
keep them, but I think you need to look at real
facts for doing a good job before you throw that
kind of a raise at someone. Thank you.
For more than a year Garnett City Manager
Chris Weiner has been pushing our city commissioners into an unconstitutional structure which would allow the City of Garnett to
acquire and hold private properties tax free and
to determine which developers may purchase
said property and what activities might be
possible on these properties. Although this land
bank is being wrapped in convenience, economic development and commercial property revitalization, this kind of government power and
public private partnership will further damage
our once free market system.
I would like to thank Garnett City Attorney
Terry Solander for quickly protecting the citizens of this city from an unwarranted executive
session during the Garnett City Commissioners
meeting last Tuesday. The executive session
was suggested by our city manager and echoed
by our newest city commissioner when comSEE FORUM ON PAGE 3B

DIGGING UP THE PAST
Henry Roeckers
Call (785) 504-4722 for
local archeology information.
January 20th and 21st just
happened to be two more really
nice winter days. Three guesses as to where I was and what
I was doing those two afternoons.
Yes, you could find me in
the backyard of my new site,
just excavating away. The
ground is in perfect condition
for hand troweling. These two
photos show you a few of my
latest finds. Its really interesting to see Ive found artifacts
from the very early 1900s up
until the present day.

fill a vacancy for its own economic development directorship focused more attention
on paying Turnipseed in a
manner commensurate with
what other professionals were
earning.
Garnett and Anderson
County bumped their shared
ACDA budget from $40,000 to
$68,000 annually in May of 2018
with the aim of hiring a full-
time director. Turnipseed was
hired in August. Her present
salary is $48,700.
The discussion wavered into
a suggestion by city manager
Chris Weiner and followed up
by commissioner Cody Gettler
to adjourn to executive session, but city attorney Terry
Solander said if that discussion was to review finances or
salary outlays it didnt qualify for an exemption under the
Kansas Open Meetings Act.
Solander noted a closed session was only legally justified
in such a case for a discussion
of job performance, discipline
or evaluation.
Mayor Jody Cole called for a
meeting with county commissioners to discuss the salary
increase. She noted possible
previous talks about funding
a raise from city reserves, but
said revising the budget after it
was set was not a habit I want
to get into.

The old Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe Railway that originally stood in Welda recently found a fourth home.
The depot building is now
situated on the east side of
The Great Overland Station
(former Union Pacific depot)
in North Topeka. The depot
building was moved to
Topeka in November from
a farm about 10 miles east
of Overbrook. It had been in
the estate of the late Marvin
Robertson, who died in
September 2007. A former
railroad caboose was also
hauled from the Robertson
farm the same day the depot
was moved.

Courthouse custodian Paul

ice, no doubt coupled with the
wind, broke the pole, but the

Fire destroyed the rural
home of David and Ellen
Sherman Thursday afternoon.
The home, which is located four
miles northwest of Garnett,
was spotted ablaze by county
workers cutting brush in the
area. Rick Feuerborn, who was
one of the workers and lives
in the area, phoned the fire
in about 12:30 p.m. Members
of the rural fire department
were called in, but found the
house fully engulfed in flames
and a small garage starting to
smolder. The garage was saved
but the family lost items in the
house.

Doug Ramsey, the four
and one half year old Colony
boy with leukemia, is now
home with his family following completion of the
first two treatment phases.
Doug and his mother, Betty
Ramsey, returned home on
Wednesday from Saint Judes
Childrens Research Hospital
in Memphis, Tenn., where the
boy had been treated since
early December. According to
Mrs. Ramsey, the leukemia
is currently in the remission
stage and Doug is now producing his own blood again. Doug
will, however, have to continue his leukemia treatments
throughout the coming year.

The time has come when a
location must be selected and
bought or condemned, for the
new city high school building.
The bonds have been voted
and the funds are in the hands
of the treasure of the board
of education. We are informed
that negotiations have been
opened for the selection of an
architect to prepare the plans.
When approved, the contract
for the building will be let and
the work will proceed. Several
locations have been considered by the tax payers and citizens of Garnett. During the
time of voting of the bonds was
pending, the board of education very wisely declined to
take up the matter of the location of the building.

Lady Bulldogs make it an even 10
against Vikes at Central Heights
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND The Anderson
County Lady Bulldogs were looking to reel off their 10th straight
victory after opening the season
0-2, but the host Central Heights
Vikings made things difficult on
them early before the Bulldogs
dominated the 2nd and 3rd quarters in their 51-37 win.
The Vikings clinged to an early
8-7 lead after the first 8 minutes
before the Bulldogs clamped down
defensively, allowing just 5 points
in the second quarter on their way
to a 25-13 halftime lead.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
OSAWATOMIE – Last Tuesday,
the Central Heights Vikings
boys scored a come from
behind win in the fourth quarter to edge Osawatomie, 62-59.
It was a tight game throughout the evening and after the
Vikings held aslim 14-11 lead
after the first quarter, they
kept the same cushion heading
into halftime, 26-23.
Following intermission, it
was Osawatomie that made
a third quarter run to capture the lead heading into the
fourth, 42-39.
Osawatomie stretched their
lead out to 6 points, 55-49, with
4:24 remaining in the game.
Over the next two and a half
minutes, the Vikings went on a
game changing 9-1 run to cling
to a 58-56 lead with just 1:57
remaining.
With under 5 seconds
remaining, Osawatomie had
one last attempt. Despite
getting a good look from threepoint range, the shot bounced
off the rim as
the last second shot was just
off.
Brady Burson and Bones
led the way offensively for the
Vikings with 21 and
15 points respectively.

dominated the quarter by a 16-2
margain to take a commanding
41-15 lead heading into the first
period.
The two teams played a much
tighter fourth quarter, the Vikings
held a slim 10-8 advantage but it
was much too little to make a serious run at the Bulldogs.
One of the Bulldogs strengths
has been transition points, which
they
dominated again out scoring the Vikings 16-2 in transition
and they completely dominated the
inside game with a 36-6 advantage
in the paint.

These companies have
bought out competitors and
positioned themselves as social
media monopolies. They lobbied for and received government protection against legal
liability for what they transmit, but they want to dictate
the content of what they transmit based on their own political whims. Thats just unacceptable.
The Review will no longer

Facebook can further engage

invasive a long time ago, and I

Hicks said.

AC clips Fredonia late rally
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
FREDONIA – Fredonias fourth
quarter rally came up short as the
Anderson County Bulldogs 12-point
lead nearly vanished before holding
on 62-58.
It was a game that had a choppy
flow to it as Fredonia racked up the
fouls in high numbers leading the
Bulldogs to connect 29-50 from the
free throw line, which was the difference in the game.
The Bulldogs led 9-7 after the first
quarter and 28-21 at halftime.
After halftime, Fredonia came
out on fire and quickly erased their
7-point deficit.
Fredonia went on a 10-2 run in
just over two minutes of the third
quarter to take a 31-30 lead.
Fredonia clinged to their slim
1-point lead at the midway point of
the third quarter. This time, trailing 35-34, it was the Bulldogs turn to
go on a quick 9-0 spurt in 2 minutes
to take a 43-35 lead.
Trialing by 12 to start the final
quarter, Fredonia hit a three-pointer at the 2:32 mark of the fourth
quarter to cut the deficit down to
50-45 and to cap a 10-3 run to open
the quarter.
Despite the Bulldog struggles
from the free throw line in the game
they hit enough over the last two
minutes as Fredonia drained 3
three-pointers over the same span
to keep them close.
Rockers led a trio of Bulldogs
in double figures with 21 points,
Katzer had 15 and Dilliner had 11.
In addition to scoring 4 points,
Justin Stifter led the Bulldogs with
9 rebounds.

Early lead gives AC girls the edge
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
FREDONIA A victory over
Fredonia last Thursday night was
the ACHS Lady Bulldogs (9-2) 9th
straight win but it didnt come easily as Fredonias (2-7) rally from a
double digit deficit came up late in a
46-43 win by the
Bulldogs.
AC jumped out on top early with
a 13-7 lead after the first quarter
which they parlayed into a 31-18
lead at halftime with a 18-11 advantage in the second quarter.
Fredonia kept within striking
distance during the third quarter. Fredonia cut slightly into the
Bulldog lead with a 11-10 advantage
in the quarter to trail by 12 heading
into the fourth.
Anderson County struggled
mightily in the final period, notching just 5 points. On the other hand,

Hicks said the lockdowns of

the final straw after red flags
about the companies in recent
years, particularly Facebook,
including censorship of the
Covid treatment drug hydroxychloroquine and accusations
of unethical data mining and
marketing practices involving
its users.

advantage of the controvery

they wont censor any users or

Oswego by 30 points, 55-25.
Crest jumped on top

Crest scored 15 points

countered with 11 points in
the third quarter but were
limited to just 4 points in
the final quarter to close
out the loss.
Coach Travis Hermreck
was pleased with his
teams defensive effort but
believes his team was a little lethargic on the offensive end.
This game had a weird
flow to it. We wanted to
play fast and they wanted
to play slow, so it felt like
we were stuck in mud all

Offensively we were a
little sluggish, but I was

Tyson discusses upcoming
abortion amendment vote
Who has the authority
to write laws addressing
abortion in Kansas? House
Concurrent
Resolution
(HCR) 5003 titled Value
Them Both (VTB) passed the
Senate on a vote of 28 to 11. I
was one of the 28 who voted
yes to pass the Resolution
and allow voters the opportunity to change the Kansas
Constitution on the August
2022 ballot, making it clear
the legislature has the
authority to write laws on
abortion, not the courts.
In 2015, the legislature
passed SB 95 with a supermajority, banning dismemberment abortion in Kansas.
After becoming law, the
Kansas Supreme Court nullified the law by issuing
an extreme ruling that the
Kansas Constitution allows
dismemberment abortion.
You can read the Kansas
Constitution and try to find
where it says that. I did and I
couldnt find it. Do you think
our Christian ancestors who
wrote the Constitution in
the 1800s were wanting to
endorse abortion? Im pretty certain that protecting
dismemberment abortion
wasnt on their agenda.
During debate, I used the
words of dissenting Justice
Stegall who spoke against
the courts decision, Today
we issue the most significant
and far-reaching decision
this court has ever made.
The majoritys decision is
so consequential because
it fundamentally alters the
structure of our government
to magnify the power of the
state. We have a rogue
Court.
Property
Tax
Transparency (SB 13) passed
the Senate 34 to 1 and will
be debated in the House.
The current version of the
bill would take effect immediately if it becomes law.
Government
authorities
argue against the bill taking
effect this year, but we have
delayed addressing our runaway property taxes long
enough. Presently, as property valuations are increased
your property taxes automatically increase. This bill
simply does not allow this
automatic tax increase. The
government can still raise
your property taxes but it
will require that they do so
by a vote witnessed by the
taxpayers.
Richard Hubert Roeckers,
88, of Garnett, passed away
Saturday, January 23, 2021 at
the Anderson County Hospital
Residential Living Center.
He was born May 11, 1932,
west
of
Garnett,
Kansas,

son of the

and Carrie
(Citron)
Roeckers.

Richard
married
Lorene Ewbank on June 21,
1952. She preceded him in
death in 1997. Richard is also
preceded by his oldest daughter Linda Barker in 2012.
Mr. Roeckers graduated
Garnett High School in 1951. In
1952, he enlisted in U.S. Navy,
after an honorable discharge
he then enlisted in the U.S.
Air Force, retiring in 1976.
He worked at Topeka Loan
Shooters Supply and then
Roach Hardware until retiring
in 1999.
He married Shirley GwinCampbell on October 16, 1999.
Richard belonged to the
American Legion, V.F.W, Lions
Club, Knights of Columbus,
Anderson County Historical
Society and was a member of Kansas Archeological
Association, Shawnee Chapter
in Topeka. He enjoyed fishing,
hunting, metal detecting and

wife Shirley, of Garnett; two
sons; Michael Roeckers and
wife Kum Yong of Topeka,

Becky of Berryton, Kansas; two

the dean of the Graduate School
of Journalism at Columbia
University, said last December,
Those of us in journalism have
to come to terms with the fact that
free speech, a principle that we hold
sacred, is being weaponized against
the principles of journalism. The
former managing editor of Time
magazine, Richard Stengel, has
written: All speech is not equal.
And where truth cannot drive out
lies, we must add new guardrails.
And so its erstwhile champions
are ready to retreat from strict
adherence to the First Amendment

Slight speed increases still have large impact on crash severity
WICHITA, Kan. Jan. 28, 2021
Even small speed increases can have huge impacts on
crash outcomes and cancel
the effectiveness of vehicle
safety features, according to
new crash tests by the AAA
Foundation for Traffic Safety,
the Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety (IIHS) and
Humanetics. The organizations partnered to study the
damage from crashes at three
different impact speeds (40,
50 and 56 mph). The results
showed slightly higher speeds
were enough to increase the
driver's risk of severe injury
or death.
Motorists often travel
faster than posted speed limits. But, when officials raise
limits to match those travel
speeds, motorists drive even
faster, said Shawn Steward,
AAA Kansas spokesman.
When speed limits increase,
the protection provided by
vehicle safety features is in
doubt.
Speed limits trend higher
Today, 41 states allow 70
mph or higher speeds on some
roadways, including eight
states that have maximum
speeds of 80 mph or more. A
2019 IIHS study found that
rising speed limits over the
past 25 years have cost nearly
37,000 lives. AAA and IIHS
urge policymakers to factor
in this danger from higher
speeds when considering
speed limit changes.
"We conducted these crash
tests to assess the effect of
speeds on drivers and learned
that a small increase could
make a big difference on
U.S. roadways and earned the
top rating in the IIHS moderate overlap front test.

Colony Christian Church Building Our Marriages
Brant McGhee gave the
Communion Meditation this
past Sunday. In a couple weeks,
around 42 million people will
be watching the Super Bowl,
and billions of dollars will be
spent. The average football
fan spends 46 hours per month
thinking about, talking about,
or watching football. So where
do we spend our time, energy
and resources? Wouldn't the
world be a better place if we
spent that time thinking about
and working for Jesus? It
would be life changing for the
church! Ephesians 5 tells us
to be careful how we live, but
live like those who are wise.
Romans 8 tells us not to follow
our sinful nature. So we should
evaluate our lives to see where
our time and resources are
spent. Are they spent on bringing people into the Kingdom of
God?
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon on "Building our
Marriages". Pope John Paul II
said, "As the family goes, so
goes the nation and so goes
the whole world in which we
live." The Bible commands
men to love their wives as
Jesus loves the church, and
women are called to respect
their husbands. To do any
differently benefits no one
but Satan. Without love, the
women reacts without respect.
And without respect, the man
responds without love. To
break this cycle, we need to do
three things: 1. Be nice, 2. Work
together, 3. Remember who the
enemy is. Ephesians 4:31-32
tells us to get rid of bitterness,
anger, rage, harsh words,
slander… all evil behavior. To
watch our mouths! We must
never repay evil with evil, but
with blessings. And not just to
be quick to listen, but to truly
listen to why the other person
is hurt or afraid. Our marriages were designed to reflect the
relationship between Christ
and the church. And just like
the church, we aren't fighting
against each other, but against
evil spirits trying to tear us
apart. So stay alert and watch
out for the enemy coming after
your relationships; stand firm
against him and be strong in
your faith. And never withdraw from your spouse or your
support groups. You are easier
to attack when you are isolated. (Ref: 1 Corinthians 7:26-28;
Provers 18:22; Ephesians 4:3131, 5:33 & 6:12; 1 Peter 3:9, 4:8 &
5:8-9; Philippians 2:1-5; Romans

ed that it might investigate or
even shut down the trading of
GameStop stock to prevent the
price from getting even higher.
Then the Wall Street-backed
trading apps and the Wall Street
brokerages joined in, announcing they would no longer allow
their users and retail investors
to buy GameStop stock. The
result? When you can no longer
buy a stock, its price can only
go in one direction: down.
The whole saga has spawned
a mini-industry of commentary on trading, markets, Wall
Street, hedge funds, regulation,
efficient markets theory, and
who knows what else. Hedge
funds are bad! No, hedge funds
are good! Markets are efficient
vehicles for asset price discovery! No, we need strict regulation to prevent mob-incited
runs on banks!
They all miss the point.
Whats happening right now
has nothing to do with hedge
funds or free markets or pricing theory or any of that.
Whats happening right now is
another front in the major war
taking place in institutions and
countries across the world: Its
the elite versus the populists.
Wall Street has a long, storied
history of viciously crushing
short-sellers. Its something of
a local pastime. Just ask David
Einhorn, who wrote an entire
book on the industrys efforts
to destroy him for the crime
of shorting the stock of a bank
that was covering up the fact
that a huge chunk of its loans
were garbage and would never
be paid back. The GameStop
saga isnt about the benefits, or
evils, of short-sellers.The real
story is how retail investors
the industry term for regular
people who day trade now and
then or have a small brokerage account for retirement or
to buy stocks every now and
again for fun figured out
how to take down a financial
leviathan. Its not that Wall
Street dislikes retail investors,
its that Wall Street views them
as little more than commission
factories for the big brokerage
houses.
Those rubes dont know
anything. Theyre not sophisticated. They dont have the
credentials or pedigrees of the
geniuses who simultaneously
destroyed the housing market
and economy in 2008. And they
certainly dont have the power
to move markets.
Its Wall Streets job to move
markets. Its Wall Streets job
to tell people which stocks and
bonds to buy, which conveniently just happen to be the
same assets that the megabanks are desperate to get off
their balance sheets.
A bunch of trash, mort-
gage-backed securities based
on mortgages that will clearly
never get paid back? Just put
them all in the same garbage
bag, claim they couldnt all possibly start to rot at once, and
then demand that the ratings
agencies whose salaries you
pay stamp them not as trash,
but as pure gold. Then, when
magically all those bags of
garbage start to stink to high
heaven, why, then its time to
demand that the federal government funded by those
retail investor rubes who will
probably lose their jobs and
homes and savings because of
those bags of Wall Streets garbage bail every last one of
them out.
See, retail investors dont
move markets. Until they
do. Which, in the case of
the Redditors bidding up
GameStop stock, they did. And
that cannot be tolerated. The
whole GameStop saga isnt
about finance or politics. Its
David vs. Goliath, the havenots vs. the haves, the underdog vs. the heavy favorite with
the best talent and training and
equipment money can buy. It is
a perfect microcosm of the war
between the populists and the
elites, the individuals vs. the
institutions, the people vs. the
powerful.
A bunch of internet randos
found a way to take financial
advantage of a company that
had backed itself into a corner.
They banded together, executed the strategy, and made bank.
They used the exact same rules
and systems that Wall Street
has used for decades to screw
individual investors out of
their money.
That was the Redditors
real crime. Because thats not
allowed. You are not allowed
to use the same set of rules for
your own advantage.
The rules here are simple:
Heads Wall Street wins, tails
you lose. The institutions set
the rules, not you. The elite, not
the populace, will determine
what is allowed and what isnt.
Which is why this isnt going to
stop with GameStop. Its going
to replicate itself within and
toward every major institution
of American, and global, life
from here on out, whether it
manifests in protests or riots
or crazy elections or entire
nation-states removing themselves from global super-governments.
Once the animals figure out
that the pigs in charge dont
really think all animals are
equal, because some animals
are so obviously more equal
than others, they tend to get
restless.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 2, 2021

Meditate on the toilet for better sales
You probably dont think of it
this way, but as a small business
owner or key manager you are
most likely the sales generating
creative wellspring of your company.
You have the most to gain
from generating ideas that work,
and the most to lose from failing
to do so. Your business survival
may literally count on it, and
as the speed of business ramps
up in this modern age, competition gets broader and markets
change, your ability to analyze,
assess and create effective ideas
that generate sales becomes more
important all the time.
To create, you have to focus
and focus, it seems, is the natural enemy of life in the modern business minefield of daily
distractions. You make time for
conference calls; you make time
to do payroll; you make time to
unload and stock inventory you
have to make time to practice
concentrating as well.
Thats because training yourself to concentrate is like any
other learned skill. Before you
learned to play the clarinet, you
couldnt play the clarinet, right?
Practicing concentration also
develops the mental muscles you
need to bring focus more into
your life, both at work and play.
Dont overthink this concentration is nothing more than the
shutting out of all other stimuli

so theres only one item on the
menu. Practice this and, like the
clarinet, youll get better at using
it on the topics you choose.
If meditation sounds too
George Harrison for you, just call
it concentration practice. The
first thing you need is an uninterrupted area close the door to
your office and block your calls;
silence your cell phone; close
your laptop. For 3-4 minutes, you
need a space that is you and nothing else. If this seems impossible,
go to the restroom and claim your
peace and quiet.
Start with centering breaths
inhale slowly for 6 seconds
through the nose, hold the air
in for 2 seconds, then exhale for
7 seconds from the mouth. Do it
several times and youll notice
youre naturally focusing on your
breathing. Let your natural pace
of breathing come back, but make
it slower and more deliberate,
and you can sort of feel yourself
sifting through the mental and
literal noise. Now, see in your
mind the number 1. Repeat the
word in your mind as you breath
and visualize its image. One.
One. One
Thoughts will come in. Dont
fight them, just let them drift
away as you work to keep 1 your
only focus. Do this for 60 seconds (you can set a timer on your
phone ahead of time) and try to
lengthen it by 20 seconds every
few days up to a couple of minutes or so.
Youll feel the impact of the
exercise the first time you do
it youll be calmer and more
deliberate in your thinking and
as you train this muscle youll
notice you can apply it to tasks at
hand with increasing success.
Do your exercise any quiet
time you have morning, before
bed, even while driving and
whenever you feel mentally fragmented. As you build this island
of control in the middle of your
daily chaos, your new-found clarity of thought will help you sell
stuff.

tion has either side speculating about what amending the
constitution, or leaving it as is,
might mean for abortion law in
the state.
Supporters of the amendment, like the powerful advocacy group Kansans for Life,
say the 2019 court ruling could
be used to overturn abortion
restrictions already in state
law. That includes regulations
on abortion providers, a ban on
most abortions after 22 weeks
and a requirement for parental
consent if a minor seeks to end
a pregnancy.
Kansas has over 20 (laws
regulating abortion) and we
could lose all of them due to
this ruling, Republican Rep.
Tory Marie Arnberger said
during a debate in the House.
Republican Rep. Susan
Humphries said it would even
block lawmakers from approving health and safety regulations for abortion providers,
such as requirements over
sterilizing instruments.
All those good regulations that protect women
and babies, she said, when
theyre challenged, they will be
found to be unconstitutional.
Abortion rights groups
reject the idea that lawmakers
somehow dont have the power
to regulate a clinics safety
standards. Rather, they see
danger in adding an anti-abortion amendment to the Kansas
Constitution. They argue it
would open a path to an allout abortion ban if the U.S.
Supreme Court ever reversed
the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that promises a federal

right to abortion.
Democratic Rep. Stephanie
Clayton points to Tennessee. It
adopted a similar amendment
and passed an abortion ban
after six weeks of pregnancy,
although a court put that on
hold.
Theyre saying its not a
ban, she said in an interview,
but if you look at other states
thats exactly where were
headed.
To Democratic Rep. Lindsay
Vaughn, the entire effort is
a misguided attempt to strip
women of a right through the
Legislature and a statewide
ballot vote.
Human rights should not be
put to a popular vote, Vaughn
said
The constitutional amendment would not directly ban
abortion. The concern from
people like Clayton is that it
would eliminate state protections for abortion rights. That
means if federal protections for
abortion rights are overturned,
the state would be free to consider stricter requirements
than currently allowed.
Last year, the amendment
narrowly failed to get the
two-thirds vote needed in the
House. Advocates made a new
push this year after conservative gains in the last election.
Theres also been a fight
over when the public vote on
the amendment should happen.
Democrats contend putting
it on the primary ballot is a
strategy to make approval more
likely by asking a smaller group of voters to decide.
Primaries traditionally draw
far fewer voters, frequently the
most devoted party members.
House Democratic Leader
Tom Sawyer said any vote on
the amendment should come
in the November election when
turnout will be higher.
Putting this constitutional amendment on the August
ballot will absolutely deny the
rights of all Kansans to voice
their opinion, Sawyer said
during a debate in the House.
This is purely a political
maneuver.
Arnberger said all Kansans
have the ability to vote in
the primary, so theyll have
a chance to weigh in on the
amendment.
This could, and most probably will, increase voter turnout, she said. Isnt that something that we want?
