City talks land acquisition for airport expansion
Project will capture
swath of federal funds,
recent grants announced
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Work continues in
preparation for a major upgrade
and lengthening to the Garnett
Industrial Airport, with talks
underway for land acquisitions
involving nearby neighbors and
word received recently of a Federal
Aviation Administration grant for
existing facility upgrades.
Airport manager Pat Schettler
told city commissioners in a weekly
memo he had been fielding contacts
from neighbors about proposed land
acquisitions for the plan, which will
require additional easements and
the vacation of a portion of NE 1700
Road just south of the airstrip. The
project will widen the runway from
its present 45 feet to 75 feet, and
grade out the crown in the strip
a hill that prevents traffic on either
end of runway from being completely visible from the other end.
Schettler said the plan estimated to take $4 million to $6 million
to complete would be 90 percent
paid by federal dollars with three
quarters of the citys remaining 10
percent tab to be paid by a Kansas
Department of Commerce grant.
The city got word last week the
airport had received a KDOT grant
of $90,000 for the replacement of
its refueling system with $15,300
made available for renovations
to the facilitys office and terminal. The funds were part of $11
million in grants announced by
KDOT from the Eisenhower Legacy
Transportation Program to airports
in Kansas. Cities receiving grants
pay five percent of their project
costs along with awarded grant
funds.
A press release from KDOT
said Garnetts was one of 66 projects funded by this years round
of Kansas Airport Improvement
Program grants out of 153 applications.

THE SENTINEL
TOPEKA A bill recently passed
out of the Kansas Senate Tax
Committee would be a significant
boon to retirees on a fixed income.
Senate Bill 33, the first piece
of major legislation to pass out
of committee this session, would
exempt all Social Security payments from the state income tax.
Current state law exempts
federally-taxable Social Security
benefits for those making under
$75,000 a year. However, even $1
above that and all Social Security
benefits are taxed.
There is some consensus that
income tax on Social Security
needs to be addressed, but the
approaches are considerably different.
While the bill authored by the
Senate tax committee exempts
Social Security entirely, Democrat
Governor Laura Kellys proposal
would raise the threshold for taxation to $100,000.
The bill passed out of committee would save taxpayers about

ty for decades. Others resent
the billions of dollars in federal tax subsidies granted to
wind developers funds they
say sustain the industry which
couldnt survive on its own in
the market. Still others resent
what they call the blight on
otherwise beautiful rural landscapes by the turbine fields
which can cover tens of thousands of acres.
Linn County Commissioners
have extended a moratorium on
wind farm development from
2021. Osage County officials
halted the Auburn Harvest
Wind Farm last October which
would have covered some
30,000 acres on the recommendation of the county planning
commission after pubic outcry.
Anderson County opponents
convinced county commission-
ers to increase setback requirements for turbine placements
in the countys zoning regulations, effectively killing a project here that would have swept
down the eastern third of the
county.
So much of the chance to
prevent these projects comes
down to having a zoning plan
that can be amended to protect
homeowners and landowners,
said Mike Burns, who helped
lead the Anderson County
opposition in 2015. If you live
in a county that doesnt already
have an existing zoning plan,
youre at a huge risk because
these companies target those
counties.
Burns said wind farm developers typically begin non-committal discussions with landowners about offers of money
for property leases before
theyre certain a project is via-
ble, hoping to use that leverage against zoning boards and
county commissioners who
hold the key to approval or
denial.
Its important opponents
lobby those officials and organize themselves, Burns said.
They need to talk individually
to landowners. They need to
put up signs to show the community opposes it.
As a state senator from
the 10th District in Johnson
County, Thompson tried
unsuccessfully to mass a bevy
of bills in the last legislative
session that together would
have all but banned wind farms
in the state of Kansas. Those
bills lacked support among
other Republicans to make it
out of committee. An analysis
of campaign finance reports
from July 2020 by American
Energy Action Kansas showed
The Garnett airport was
constructed in 1949. An airport
master plan commissioned in
2018 at a cost of some $180,000,
90 percent funded by the FAA,
laid out changes to be made to
meet those modern specifications. Presently the runway is
2,600 – 3,400 feet.
Even if completed Garnetts
airstrip would be among the
shortest in the region. Ottawas
airport runway is 4,500 feet,
and Burlington and Iola are
both 5,500 feet. A preliminary
timetable for the Garnett project would see it start construction in 2024.
Thompsons presentation
follows recent moves by several counties in Eastern Kansas
to halt or hamstring proposed
wind farm construction.
Earlier this month Franklin
County Commissioners voted
to deny a special use permit
for a wind research tower in
northwest Franklin County, a
precursor to a possible project
that would bridge into southwest Douglas County and has
been supported by Douglas
County Commissioners.
Many opponents cite possible health effects from the
massive turbines as a reason
for opposing the developments,
as well as the threat to birds
and bats and what they fear
could be a negative impact
on their home values where
they have built financial equi-

OPINION
KCC, Big Wind is grooming your kids
The telegraph station we built out of paper
milk cartons, wire-wrapped nails and flashlight batteries in my 6th grade science class
back in 1975 taught us about principles of electricity and communication not about fleecing
taxpayers with politically-charged corporate
welfare.
But thats the youth indoctrination effort
pitched each year by the Kansas Corporation
Commission as a big-time sponsor of the
KidWind Challenge. This nationwide propaganda program is sponsored by all the heavy
hitters of green energy, which the KCC dutifully promotes to public schools across the state
in an effort to help Big Green make unquestioning Greta-Thunberg-esque lackies out of
Kansas school children.
The KCC is listed under the $50,000 donors
roster of the KidWind challenge, in the company of mega-buck federal tax credit addicts
like EDP Renewables and Dominion Energy.
With publicly-funded tuition making little
green soldiers out of Kansas school kids for
the Renewable Energy Industry, just think of it
as your tax dollars going to an indoctrination
tuition program.
So while KCC and these other green energy
pimps sugar coat wind energy like the Victory
Gardens that will defeat fossil fuel tyranny,
the other half of Kansas which opposes this
government funded, equity destroying, energy
security threatening and landscape ravaging
debacle are left with less tax money and a
whole class of youth that will need deprogramming.
The basics of KidWind are pretty simple but
its the irony of the challenge that makes it
as silly as the actually industry it coddles. In
a nutshell, kids make a toy wind turbine and
they test it to see how well it does in a wind
tunnel a wind tunnel that itself is powered
by wait for it fossil fuel produced electricity from whatever gas or coal plant that services
the local electrical grid.
Thats a point thats not brought up during
the challenge presumably because it might
raise too many challenging questions.
And those questions abound. KidWinds
rules and operational plans dont discuss the
political division wind farms bring to rural
communities that value the pristine landscapes and skylines that really put the country in the country. Nor do they discuss how
a scheme of federal tax credits to Big Business
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
operations that promote wind are really the
only reasons wind farms exist to begin with.
Also forgotten are the basics of the wind
farm fairy tale that somehow we can replace
always-on electrical generation powered by
nuke, coal or natural gas with sometimes-on
wind farms that only produce power when
the wind blows. The practical effect? That any
wind power we might depend on better be
backed up by dependable production unless
youre willing to tolerate a power system that
only works when the wind blows.
That pulse on, pulse off nature of wind
turbine fields connected to the regional power
grid is also a real treat for the engineers and
technicians who are trying to run that grid
with the idea of keeping it consistent across
broad segments of the country.
The parents of the KidWinders might have
a different perspective from the KCC and the
big money wind companies. All across Eastern
Kansas and in some other counties as well,
adults who are a little less starry-eyed about
socially popular causes are stopping wind
farm developments in their tracks. It happened
here in Anderson County, Linn County, most
recently in Franklin and Osage counties and
even out in Reno County. People who live in
the country because they love it dont want to
live in the middle of a 30,000 acre power plant
that only works when theres a blowing wind
and a federal tax subsidy and literally has to
be plugged in to outside electricity in order to
operate. Those are facts KidWind ignores.
The KCC wont tell your kids the truth its
going to be up to you. ###

How does Governor Sanders of Arkansas have
the nerve to give a speech like that after what we
all observed during the attack on our nations
capital that was instigated by her buddy Trump?
You Republicans keep burying your heads in
the sand and well end up with that idiot back
in office, and then we really will be in trouble.
Sanders said the choice is between normal and
crazy and I think we have all witnessd the crazy
one you keep bragging about. We dont need that
back in the White House. Use your head people.
Raquel Welch is gone. Slowly but surely the

Race-baiting Disney says slaves built this country
During the Super Bowl on Sunday, the Walt
Disney Company aired a commercial celebrating the companys 100-year anniversary.
Notably, it didnt feature any of the companys recently released, highly political and
divisive content and instead highlighted the
companys seemingly nonpolitical and more
unifying aspects.
Nevertheless, Disney continues to churn
out highly divisive, political content. The
once-great corporation that was universally
admired in the 1950s and 1960s is today deliberately working to help fuel racism among our
most innocent citizens: young children.
A recent production of Disneys The
Proud Family put forth yet another false
narrative about our nations history that
only black slaves built this nation and that
blacks today deserve reparations for every
moment we spend submerged in this systemic
prejudice, racism, and white supremacy that
America was founded with and still has not
atoned for. To illustrate this last point, the
cartoon showcases a picture of a young black
man with his palms turned up and the words
Hands Up, Dont Shoot written on them.
The cartoon features predominately black
girls angrily denouncing the Founding Fathers
and, at one point, shows the presidential images on Mount Rushmore being replaced with
the likes of Harriett Tubman, Nat Turner, and
Frederick Douglass the real champions
of freedom. Lincoln is deliberately snubbed as
the girls proclaim, we can only free ourselves
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
JACK BOVEE, THE FEDERALIST
emancipation was not freedom. No context, of course, is supplied for these outlandish
charges, thus exposing the cartoon for the
racist propaganda that it is.
Disney has certainly declined from the
company that virtually every home was tuned
in to watch in televisions formative years.
In earlier times, Disney regularly featured
wholesome, patriotic portrayals of Americas
past that influenced generations of children.
Recently, however, it has worked diligently
to promote the leftist goal to fundamentally
change America.
One executive producer has admitted she
deliberately infused gay-lifestyle themes into
as many productions as possible. Disneys
diversity and inclusion manager, Vivian
Ware, led the effort to ditch the words ladies,
gentlemen, boys, and girls in its theme parks
in order not to alienate transgender children.
The company has already pulled or posted
warning labels to old movie favorites such as
Dumbo, Peter Pan, Aristocats, Swiss
Family Robinson, and Song of the South for
their being deemed offensive to minorities. It
fired the conservative star of Mandalorian,
Gina Carano, for posting to a social media site
her criticism of attacks upon Republicans.
Secretly recorded critical race theory trainings for Disney staff have blamed all whites
for systemic racism and instructed them to
never question or debate black colleagues
lived experience.
Disneys white employees were also asked
to complete a white privilege checklist with
such qualifiers as I am a man, I still identify as the gender I was born in, and I have
never been raped. Upon discovering this,
Chris Rufo rightly argued that the Magic
Kingdom is a house of lies because it has used
slave and child labor, filmed Mulan near
Chinas Uyghur concentration camps, and
censored content for the Chinese Communist
Party.
But its much worse than this. Disneys latest attempt to fundamentally change America
shows the companys diabolical nature. The
Proud Family episode deliberately distorts
our nations history. The fact that slavery was
universal among cultures is ignored. There is

Help Putin out by cutting out support for Ukraine
More and more Republicans are beginning
to see the wisdom of John Lennon, and think
we need to give peace a chance in Ukraine.
Donald Trump is offering himself as the
peace candidate and says he could broker a
Ukraine-Russia deal.
The populist and realist right are banging
the drums for a negotiated end to the war, and
they arent wrong. The conflict comes with an
enormous humanitarian and economic price
and is profoundly destabilizing.
So, by all means, lets hope for a deal. The
secret to unlocking a potential agreement,
though, isnt leaving Ukraine in the lurch and
hoping that Vladimir Putin — just as he begins
to make gains — decides to prudently and modestly stand down because dominating Ukraine
isnt so important to him after all.
The only way there will eventually be a
(flawed, unsatisfactory, and probably temporary) bargain is if Putin realizes that he has
no hope of getting what he wants out of the
war.
There are a number of objections and arguments that populist and realist opponents
make against current levels of aid to Ukraine:
Weve ended up in a proxy war with Russia.
True enough. Yet, this is not the situation we
sought out. Its not as though we encouraged
Latvia to invade Russia, and then began lavishly supplying and training its forces.
The advantage of this proxy war is that the
Russians are direct participants, and paying
a heavy price, while our role is limited and
indirect. We are in the role comparable to the
Russians during the Vietnam War or the U.S.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan
— supporting a highly motivated indigenous
force that is doing all the fighting against a
bitter geopolitical adversary.
The war is expensive and drawing down
our stocks of weapons. This, too, is true. By
any measure, the roughly $30 billion, and
counting, that weve spent on Ukraine is real
money. It is a fraction of a fraction of the
defense budget, though.
The drawdown of weapons has created
shortages in U.S. stocks, but this is more
exposing a vulnerability than creating one. If
we are strained merely arming Ukraine, wed
quickly reach a breaking point in a direct
conflict with China. The answer is to build up
our defense industrial base in a way thatd be
necessary one way or the other.
NATO expansion provoked the Russians.
Everyone knew that Ukraine wasnt going to
actually join NATO anytime soon (or proba-
bly ever), and Russia didnt rationally have
anything to fear from the alliance — when
Russia invaded Ukraine the first time in 2014,
the U.S. had brought home all its tanks from
Germany. Putin has made it clear that his
ideological and geopolitical goal is to reestablish a version of the Russian empire. This is a
deeply held ambition that would very likely
be the same if NATO had never expanded
and if all the Baltic and Eastern and Central
European states were blandly neutral and
entirely disarmed.
Putin is only pursuing a traditional Russian
foreign policy. Well, yes. But just because
Russia occupied Poland for 100 years or so or
gobbled up various nations of Europe during
World War II, doesnt mean similar projects
today would have any legitimacy. Yes, Russia
has always been concerned with securing
and maintaining access to the Black Sea. It
should be noted, however, that it already had
an agreement with Ukraine to base its Black
Sea Fleet at Sevastopol. For good measure, in
2014, Russia grabbed all of Crimea. Invading
Ukraine and trying to take Kyiv is oversaucing the goose and isnt about the Black Sea but
destroying a model of (imperfect) democracy
on its border.
In short, cutting off the Ukrainians in the
hopes of jump-starting negotiations would
be folly and only benefit a Vladimir Putin
who, if he had his druthers, would bring a
bloody-minded peace of repression and vastation to Ukraine.

Happy Presidents Day to Donald Trump, the
true and legitimate president of the United
States, and the best president the country has
every had. Thank you.
Has anybody noticed that theres no big protests
or anything going on for the environment over
in Ohio where the train derailed and let loose
all those chemicals on that town? No Al Gore,
no Greta Thunberg, no Bill Gates? None of the
environmentalists are out hunting scalps on
this the way theyve always done in the past. Do
they only care about global warming now and
have no care about companies and railroads and
government not doing their jobs? When did all
this change?
Dane, I hope you took a picture of the corner of
Park and Maple the way it used to look and will
publish it next to the new look that corner is
going to have when the two new buildings are
built. The parking lots and everything look so
nice and clean. A plus for our town. Thank you.

the commission has discussed
the issue two or three times
in recent weeks and is looking
for volunteers from throughout the county to serve on the
committee. USD 288 is a year
ahead of a state-wide mandate in which school districts
throughout Kansas will offer
a morning breakfast program
next year. The program is part
of a bill that was put into action
during the 1992 legislative session. In the development of
the breakfast program, schools
recognize that they have taken
a broader social mission and
the growing challenge of providing a wide range of academic courses.

An accident reconstruction report from the Kansas
Highway Patrol is due to be
sent this week following the
fatal crash that occurred on
May 19, 2002. County Attorney
Fred Campbell said Friday
that contact with the KHP
noted that the report was in
its final stages as of late last
week and should be forwarded
to Campbells office sometime
during the week of Feb 17. In
addition, the City of Garnett
heard complaints about the
chemically taste and smell
of municipal system water
from a resident. City Manager
Rick Doran said that city staff
had been out to check the residents water, and all testing
came back favorable, but that
other factors could affect the
taste and smell of the water.
Doran said that Garnett uses
treated surface water from the
city lakes, which collects from
runoff, for its water supply
and that the taste and smell of
the water can be affected even
after treatment due to seasonal changes in the lakes the
amount of organic and mineral
content.
10 years ago…
Customer service will
improve, a promise any customer loathes to hear; improving that service was the biggest concern for Garnett city
commissioner when they met
with a representative from the
citys cable service provider
to discuss a change in local
cable ownership. Allegiance
Communications, recently
purchased by BCI Broadband,
has been the service provider
for the City of Garnett since
2004. The sale could be finalized
in March or April, pending the
FCC approval. After that sale,
the company plans on making
a systems upgrade that could
result in faster internet speeds
and a variety of higher-definition channels. Commissioners
pressed the BCI representative
for details on how the customer service would be improved,
adding that Allegiance lost customers primarily because of
poor customer service at its
call center and with its technicians. In addition, despite
being the citys franchise cable
provider with no competition,
Allegiance garnered only 20
percent of possible customers.

no mention of the fact that
North African and Ottoman
Muslims enslaved millions
of white Europeans for over
1,000 years.
Children are intentionally left with the notion that
only black slaves built
this country. Children
are not informed that both
Hinton Helper and Alexis de
Tocqueville offered plenty of
evidence that slavery far
from being responsible for all
the nations wealth actually retarded the Souths economic progress and development.
There is no mention of
the exploitation of Irish
immigrants in the nations
coal mines and in the construction of our railroads
and canals. Apparently, the
white farm girls who worked
13 hours daily in the Lowell
Mills, the Chinese coolie laborers who built the
Central Pacific Railroad,
the immigrant miners who
worked 364 days a year in our
mines, the striking workers
who were machine-gunned in
1914 at Ludlow, Colorado, and
countless other examples of
exploited non-black victims
who helped build this nation
played no role in creating our
nations prosperity.
Nor can we forgive Disney
for helping to inflame the
racial hatred and violence that
currently engulfs America.
The cartoons attempt to
reaffirm the lie surrounding
the Michael Brown case by
promoting the phrase Hands
Up, Dont Shoot in the cartoon is unpardonable.
Far from succeeding in
its goal of indoctrinating
Americas children to the
necessity of imposing racial
reparations on the nation,
Disney has only succeeded
in showing how its militant
cartoon characters are ignorant of real history. Disney
intentionally promotes the
falsehood that black men are
routinely shot down by police
while trying to surrender
with the cartoons hands up
scene.
Meanwhile, the cartoons
promotion of Nat Turner a
murderer who slew his master and his wife while they
were sleeping in their bed at
night and ordered their infant
child to be slaughtered in his
crib is a sad commentary of
what passes today as acceptable viewing for children.
Disneys producers apparently didnt know that Turners
men decapitated the infant in
its crib and threw its body
into the fireplace. Nor that
two other children were later
beheaded. Nor that almost
all of Turners victims were
defenseless, unarmed women
and children. And according
to Disney, this is the man who
should be depicted on Mount
Rushmore?
Lets not give Disney the
benefit of the doubt here.
The company has a litany
of researchers and historians at its disposal who could
give caution to its deliberate
dissemination of racial bias
and falsehood. These deliberate distortions of history
and racial animus far from
bringing us closer together
as a people only serve to
further divide us into ethnic and racial tribes. These
falsehoods lead to the assassination of police officers, an
increase in racially inspired
hate crimes, and countless
break-ins and robberies of
businesses throughout the
nation as oppressed individuals seek the reparations they now think they
deserve.
Disney should apologize
for its promotion of a murderer of children to an audience
of kids in the vague hope that
well somehow have better
race relations in the future.

About the Kansas FFA
The
Kansas
FFA
Association is experiencing
exciting growth, a surge of
new opportunities for its
members, and increasing
support from the community and former members.
Kansas FFA was chartered by the National FFA
Organization in 1928. Since
1928, our membership has
grown to over 10,000 members in more than 220 chapters across the state. There
are FFA chapters in 225 high
school agriculture education departments, in 216 unified school districts. Kansas
FFA members can be found
in 103 of the 105 counties
across Kansas, including
both rural and urban areas.
Our membership strives to
create a sense of inclusivity while celebrating our
unique backgrounds, stories, and experiences within
the agriculture industry.
The association is led by

ident, vice president, secretary, treasurer, reporter,
and sentinel. In addition,
adult guidance and leadership is provided by the
state advisor and executive secretary. The Kansas
FFA Association is run by
the voices of its members.
Therefore, chapter members from across the state
serve as delegates at state
convention, elect the state
officers, and conduct official
business of the association.
The official duties of the
Kansas FFA Association
could not be accomplished
without the amazing support we receive from local
communities,
agribusinesses, alumni, foundation,
members and individuals
who know the importance
of agriculture education.
Our annual State FFA
Convention continues to
evolve into one of the premier state conventions in
the nation highlighted by
our action-packed general
sessions and our ever-growing career show. This opportunity continues to provide
our members with leadership experiences, meaning-

Tire trouble: potholes and worn tread can prove dangerous and costly
WICHITA, Kan. Feb. 17, 2023
Its that time of year, when
potholes litter our roadways
and, in many cases, hit our
wallets hard. Americans spend
billions of dollars every year
to repair damages caused by
potholes, with an average price
tag of almost $600 per repair.
In 2022, there were more
than 2,000 AAA members, just
in Kansas, whose tire troubles
required a tow because they
did not have a useable spare,
said Jon Burgett, Roadside
Service fleet manager for AAA
Kansas. While drivers cant
always avoid a pothole, having a useable spare may help
them avoid additional inconvenience and expense.
While the desire for any
call is always a quick fix at
the roadside, AAA Emergency
Rescue data indicates that last
year, almost 30% of all tire-related calls in Kansas resulted
in the need for a tow mostly because there was no useable spare. Had there been a
spare available, thousands of
tows could have been avoided,
saving drivers both time and
money.
Many new cars do not come
with spare tires, so it is critical that drivers check to make
sure they have the additional
road-ready tire before they find
themselves in need. Why dont
most new cars come with a
spare tire? Read more at AAA.
com/TheExtraMile.
Is Your Tow and the Damage
Caused by Potholes Covered by
Insurance?
Maybe. Maybe not. Typically,
a flat tire is not covered by
insurance because it is considered basic wear and tear. But,
a blowout caused by a pothole,
the tow and additional damages to your vehicle may be covereddepending on your level
of coverage.
This is a costly lesson
learned too late by many
motorists, said Gary Tomes,
Regional Manager for the
Insurance Agency at AAA.
Drivers who opt for minimum
coverage may find themselves
paying a steep price when it
comes to potholes.
A 2021 AAA survey found
that 1 in 10 drivers sustained
vehicle damage significant
enough to warrant a repair
after hitting a pothole. In addition to tires, damage caused
by potholes may include dented rims, damaged wheels,
dislodged wheel weights, displaced struts, dislocated shock
absorbers, damaged exhaust
systems, misaligned steering
systems and ruptured ball
joints.
AAA urges all vehicle owners to talk to their insurance
advisors in advance of a pothole problem to ensure they
are adequately covered, should
the need arise.
Avoiding Potholes
Of course, the best way to prevent pothole damage or tire
troubles that might require a
tow is to avoid potholes altogether.
AAA Kansas offers the following tips for avoiding potholes/
minimizing damage:
Beware of Puddles Puddles
are often potholes in disguise.
Look Ahead Make a point
of scanning the road ahead
for potholes. An alert driver
is more likely to have time to
avoid a pothole.
Increase Following Distance
This will give you additional
time to avoid potholes otherwise hidden by the vehicle in
front of you.
Limit Distractions Avoiding
a pothole is much easier if you
are paying attention to the road
ahead.
Slow Down Slowing down will
increase the chance of avoiding
a pothole, and if a pothole cannot be avoided, reduced speed
will likely mean reduced dam-
age.
Inspect Tires Make sure tires
are properly inflated and have
a healthy tread. Tires that are
not road-ready are at greater
risk of a blowout or flat.
Take Care of Your Spare
Check your trunk. Many newer
cars do not have spare tires or
the spare is unusable, causing
greater inconvenience to drivers and their passengers in the
event of a flat.
Dont Ignore Noises/Vibrations
A hard pothole impact can
dislodge wheel weights, damage the tire or wheel and even
break suspension components.
Any unusual noises after a pothole hit should be inspected
immediately. Find the nearest
AAA Approved Auto Repair
facility here.

to Communist China.
Those efforts culminated in
congressional action last year
to provide more than $52 billion in federal assistance to the
industry, a portion of which is
expected to be utilized in the
BETO plant.
Governor Laura Kelly told
reporters during a news conference in Topeka earlier this
month Kansas own incentives are crucial to attracting
the federal funds and making Kansas an essential part of
our countrys national security
efforts.
Integra CEO Brett Robinson
said there was no commercially viable way to do the project without the federal funds.
Other states were rumored to
be competing for the plant as
well.
A Fortune Magazine article noted Integra, founded in
1983, has about 500 employees
in Wichita and Silicon Valley
and describes itself as the largest U.S. provider of the last
two major assembly and testing steps in the chip manufacturing process. The BETO
factory is expected to pay an
average annual wage of $51,000,
about 46% higher than Kansas
connected to the road, said
Shawn Steward, AAA Kansas
spokesman. Even the most
advanced safety systems rely
on a tires basic ability to maintain traction to avoid a crash.
AAAs research indicated
that not only do worn tires
increase stopping distance, but
they also reduce handling ability by about 30%.
AAA urges drivers to check
tread depth and replace tires
proactively.
Let George Washington Help
Heres a test thats tried and
true. Slip an upside-down quarter between your tire grooves
and look at Washingtons head
if you can see all of it, its time
to start shopping for new tires.
Gene & Wanda Hensley
PLANT…
Technical College in Emporia
will be focal points for local
training for the plant, with the
idea of training and delivering a pool of skilled workers
quickly.
Integra will receive a
10-year package of tax breaks
and expense reimbursements.
The $1.8 billion plant is expected to cover 1 million square
feet, employ 2,000 workers and
create some 3,000 additional
jobs among suppliers and other
businesses both locally and in
the region.
BETO, which stands for the
towns of Burlington, Emporia,
Topeka and Ottawa that can be
accessed via the highways that
converge there, is about 40-45
minutes from Garnett.
Microchips are a staple of
modern electronic devices, and
development of the domestic
semiconductor industry has
been a rare point of bipartisanship on which most all the parties in the countrys divergent
political spectrum can agree.
Both the Trump and Biden
Administrations made domestic production incentives a priority in the face of global production leader Taiwans precipitous position with regard
Tread Tribulations
As we head into Presidents
Day weekend, and with spring
showers ahead, now is the time
to let George Washington check
your tires to minimize risk in
wet weather.tires (002).png
Previous research from
AAA reveals that driving on
relatively worn tires at highway speeds in wet conditions
can increase average stopping
distances by a staggering 43%,
or an additional 87 feet — more
than the length of a semi-trailer truck — when compared to
new tires. With nearly 800,000
crashes occurring on wet roads
each year and Americans now
holding on to their cars longer
than ever before, this is cause
for concern.
Tires are what keep a car
average of roughly $35,000. The
Fortune article said for Integra
to receive its incentives, it
must invest at least $1.5 billion
in the new factory in the next
five years and consistently provide the equivalent of 1,600 fulltime jobs for 10 consecutive
years.
Kansas legislators signed
off last year on an economic
development plan that massed
up to $1 billion in incentives to
a single company each in 2022
and 2023. Last year Panasonic
Corporation announced plans
to build a mega factory in
DeSoto to produce electric
vehicle batteries. Panasonics
incentives are Kansas largest
on record worth some $829
million over 10 years plus
reducing the states corporate
income tax rates by half a percentage point for each of the
major projects.
Mr. Hensley is a Master Carpenter
and has taken excellent care of his
tools & equipment. He has taken
great pride in his carpenter craft.

Social Security is one of the
reasons that Kiplinger ranks
Kansas as the third-worst state
for retirees on taxes.
Senate Bill 30 eliminates the
inflation tax
A second piece of major legislation Senate Bill 30
which also passed out of the
Senate Tax Committee, would
raise the states standard
income tax deduction each
year based on the cost of living
and eliminate the inflation tax.
Kansas and other states
have experienced large revenue gains recently, and a large
portion of that is simply caused
by inflation, as demonstrated
in the tables below, according
to testimony on SB 30 provided
by The Sentinels parent company, Kansas Policy Institute.
Lets say inflation was a little below 2%, as it had been for
several years prior to 2021, and
a married couple with two children taking the standard deduction had a 2% pay increase in
2022. Their federal income tax
would have increased by $71 or
just 1.3% because federal standard deductions and tax brackets are indexed for inflation.
That couples state income
tax increased by $79, or 3.3%.
They have a larger increase in
state tax because the standard
deduction and tax brackets are
not increased for inflation.
But if that couple got a
7% increase to offset inflation, their state tax bill would
jump by 12.1%. Their federal
tax would increase by 9% by
comparison because the federal deduction and tax brackets
were indexed for 3% inflation
in 2022. Their purchasing
power didnt change because
of inflation, but the State of
Kansas got a 12% boost instead
of 3%.
The standard deductions are
currently set at $3,500 for single
filers, $8,000 for married couples, and $6,000 for those filing
as head of household.
Under the bill being sent to
the full Senate, by fiscal year
2026, it is projected that the
standard tax deduction would
increase to $4,016 for single
filers, $9,178 for married couples, and $6,884 for the head of
household.
The bill would save taxpayers about $99 million over three
years. Collectively, SB 30 and
SB 33 save taxpayers $113 million this year and $463 million
over the next three years.

AC girls dominant in win
WELLSVILLE The Anderson

55-21 win over Wellsville.
AC led 19-3 after the first
quarter and stretched their
advantage out to 34-9 at halftime.
Wellsville couldn't get

PV downs AC girls in offensive struggle
LACYGNE Despite struggling
all night on the offensive end,
the Anderson County Bulldogs
were within striking distance
in the fourth quarter before
eventually falling to Prairie
View on the road 32-27.
It was an inauspicious start
for the Bulldogs as they dug
themselves an early 9-4 hole
after the first quarter.
Both teams tallied 7 points
in the second quarter to make
the score 16-11 heading into
halftime.
The AC girls rallied in the
third quarter, pulling even
with Prairie View before the
host team gained a little separation heading into the fourth
with a slim 22-20 lead.
Once again in the fourth
quarter, the Bulldogs were
able to knot the score up about
midway through, but Prairie
View would hold on down the
stretch with a 10-7 fourth quarter advantage to close out the
victory.
Both teams struggled from
the field, each shooting just
16% overall.
Kylie Disbrow led the team
with 11 points, 12 rebounds and
14 blocks to notch yet another
triple double on the season.
Windfall or money owed? K-State financial
expert urges taxpayers to make a plan
By Pat Melgares, K-State
Research and Extension news
service
MANHATTAN, Kan. For
some taxpayers, income tax
season is a time to look forward
to an anticipated windfall. For
others, its the sign of a big bill
coming due.
But whether you are expecting a refund from the IRS or
will owe money, Kansas State
University family resource
management
specialist
Elizabeth Kiss says you should
have a plan well ahead of this
years April 18 filing deadline.
If youre getting a tax
refund, there are a couple
things to think about, Kiss
said One is what to do with
the money, in which case you
can think of that as windfall
income. But the other thing to
think about is that if youre getting a refund, thats essentially
a loan that youve given to the
government to use until you
get it back.
Kiss said consumers should
plan for how to use the extra
boost of cash, which may
include paying off outstanding
debt, catching up on bills, or
boosting savings accounts. But
she also said its okay to think
about having a little fun.
As an example, she suggests
portioning the money between
several goals.
Lets say youre getting
$1,000 back. If you put 30%
toward paying outstanding
debt or bills, thats $300. And if
you put 40% toward your needs
and wants having some fun
thats another $400. And then
you can put 30% to establish
or build up your savings, that
would be $300.
Kiss adds: Im a big proponent of thinking about your
plan once youve filed your
taxes and you know how much
youre going to get back. While
its great to have it come back
by direct deposit to a savings
or checking account, having a
plan is even more important.
Otherwise, it can just get frittered away if you dont have a
plan for it.
Kiss said taxpayers who
receive a large refund may
want to re-think their income
withholding options. Rather
than letting the government
keep your money for most of
the year, consider keeping a
little more of that money to
yourself on each paycheck.
That way, youll have a little more on which to live on
a regular basis, she said. If
you have the money upfront,
you can plan for how to use it.
Even if youre saving it, you
may not be saving the same
30% of a lump sum all at once,
but you may be saving smaller
amounts on a regular basis,
which in the end you are saving the same amount over 12
monthsand taking advantage
of the time value of money in
the form of interest.

owing money to the IRS, Kiss

suggests completing your
return early.
The earlier that you can
know how much you actually
owe, the sooner you can figure out what your situation
is, she said. Then, you can
make plans for paying back
that money. You dont need to
file or pay the money until the
deadline, so you will have some
time to plan ahead.
Kiss said the IRS offers
payment plans for those who
cant pay their tax debt right
away. The web address for
more information is irs.gov/
payments. This years deadline is April 18 because of the
weekend and the District of
Columbias Emancipation Day
holiday, which falls on April
17.
Also, free tax help is available across Kansas and the U.S.
through the Volunteer Income
Tax Assistance program. From
the IRS website, search for free
tax help and enter your zip
code to find free help in your
area.
Whether getting a refund or
paying now, we all have to
pay our tax obligation, Kiss
said. So, the earlier you can
complete your return, the better so that you can begin to
plan for how you will use the
return or how you will accumulate the funds to pay for
what you owe.

Stewart of Pleasant Ridge by
fall (2:46).

Crest pulls away for easy win
UNIONTOWN The Crest
Lancers clamped down defensively in the first, holding
Uniontown scoreless in last
Tuesday's road contest, but
struggles of their own kept
the game close early on as
they eventually knocked off
Uniontown 47-34.
Uniontown was blanked
over the first 8 minutes, but
faced a slim 4-0 deficit due to
Crest's offensive woes of their
own.
The home squad lit it up
in the second quarter with 16
points to take a slim 16-13 lead
into halftime.
The second half was all
Crest as the Lancers outscored
Uniontown 14-9 in the third and
put the game away with a 20-9
advantage in the fourth quarter.
Karter Miller led the way
offensively with 12 points and
pulled down 6 rebounds while
dishing out 3 assists.
Ryan Golden chipped in
with 11 points, also tallied 4
rebounds and had 3 steals.
Jack White was just a point
shy of a double double as he
scored 9 points and recorded 10
rebounds on the night.
Crest notches another road win
YATES CENTER Crest traveled to Yates Center on Friday
night and after a back and forth
first half, the Lancers pulled
away for a comfortable 53-34
victory.
Early on, Yates Center kept
within striking distance. Crest
led 16-12 after the first quarter
and doubled their lead at halftime, 25-17.
Following intermission, the
Lancers quickly erased any
hopes at a comeback. Crest
outscored the home team 18-7
during the third and put the
game away in the fourth as
both teams tallied 10 points
each.
Ryan Golden paced the
Lancers with 20 points and 12
rebounds.
Joining him in double figures were Ethan Godderz with
13 points and Karter Miller
with 11.
Talk and action
Greg Doering, Kansas Farm
Bureau
If it isnt clich yet, asking
farmers and ranchers to tell
their story ought to be by now
since its often prescribed as a
panacea that will fix anything
wrong in agriculture. I dont
mean to diminish the impact
storytelling has in shaping the
minds of consumers and legislators. But I do think theres
another aspect thats been
taken for granted for too long.
Telling the story of agriculture is both personal and
important. Whats even more
vital though is being able to
back up any story you tell with
action. Arguing for policies of
self-policing and industry-led
solutions are certainly preferable to dealing with rules and
regulations handed down from
politicians. The only downside
is if you dont follow through,
the bureaucrats will catch on
eventually.
Those of us near farmers
and ranchers often encourage them to tell their stories
while neglecting to mention
anything about action. This is
equal parts oversight and proximity. We neglect to mention
follow through because it never
occurs to us it wouldnt happen. Weve observed countless
times how a farmers word is
as valuable as a signature. In
short, encouraging storytelling
has missed the real story.
It was just a few years ago
when so-called alternative
protein companies seemed
to spring up overnight. Some
slick storytelling generated a
line of investors pledging billions of dollars to disrupt the
business of growing beef, pork
and chicken. The simple and
straightforward pitch went
something like this: Very soon,
plants will replace animals as
a primary source of protein
because weve created technology that makes eating a salad
seem like biting into a cheeseburger.
I apologize for taking a few
liberties there, but thats the
gist of the marketing campaign that prompted a lot of
well-founded fear in the production agriculture world. The
storytelling was excellent and
there was an actual product
that kind of resembled meat.
The stuff even made its way on
to restaurant menus and was
slotted next to the real thing at
grocery stores.
Curious customers sampled the imitators in sufficient
quantities that several of these
companies went public, selling
stock to anyone who wanted
it. As the headlines rolled in
about the quality and taste of
this scientific amalgamation,
so did the cash.
Imitation may be a sincere
form of flattery, but it doesnt
seem that way when part of
the imitation is based on putting you out of business. While
technology and apparent alchemy was part of the storytelling
behind turning plants into palatable protein, so was a more
sinister message: eating animals is wrong.
It just so happens these companies were selling virtue to
everyone with a vice of eating
meat. Whether it was interest,
peculiarity or oddity that drove
customers to sample these
alternatives, one thing is for
sure they tried them because of
the story.
Actions still speak louder
than words. And with the benefit of hindsight, a lot of these
companies are running into
this reality. Sky-high stock valuations plummeted almost as
fast as the novelty faded.
The imitators have gained
a foothold, but its a niche. It
turns out producing protein
the old fashioned way day in
and day out offers both scale
and affordability that cant be
messaged away.
Shouting is certainly one
way to draw attention in a
crowd, but then its on you to
hold that attention. The story
is important but wont mean
anything if you cant deliver.
Farmers and ranchers have
continued to deliver. Again
and again their actions have
spoken louder than words, and
thats a story worth telling.
