Anderson County: Lowest gas prices in region
County average gas
prices are updated daily
to reflect
changes in price, along
with metro area pricing.
See Kansas AAA at
www.gasprices.aaa.com
Prices level off after early
2024 increases; local prices
lowest in nearby counties
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Gasoline prices in and
around Anderson County and the
region have begun to nudge $3 a
gallon again. But analysts say this
price increase should be temporary
while Anderson County actually shows some of the lowest prices
in the region according to a county-by-county analysis.
The Personal finance website
NerdWallet noted gas prices shot up
about 12 cents per gallon in mid-February in part because of a power outage at a refinery in Indiana that has
kept that facility offline according
to AAA. The BP whiting refinery,
which processes nearly 440,000 barrels of crude oil per day, is expected
to reopen soon. but it's closure has
impacted Midwest gas prices in particular.
But even with that price spike,
Anderson County gas retailers were
selling regular unleaded around
$2.79, in the range of $2.69 to $2.83 per
gallon according to AAA rankings
the lowest anywhere in contiguous
counties and as of last week the low-
est in all of East Central Kansas.
The analysts say the prices are
leveling off, theyre still about 18
cents a gallon higher than they were
at the beginning of 2024. still gas prices remain relatively low compared to
surges in 2022 and 2023. A gallon of
gas on average nationwide is about
13 cents cheaper today compared to
this time last year, and it's 35%
cheaper than it was in June of 2022
when the Nationwide average broke
$5 per gallon.
But any gas price increase adds
pressure on nearly half of Anderson
Countys work force which heads out
of county daily for work. U.S. Census
Bureau data from the 2020 census
shows some 45.5 percent of the countys estimated over 16 aged workforce
of 3,293 some 1,500 workers leave
the county each day for their jobs,

Errant software update
flagged AT&T cell phones
DALLAS, Texas AT&T says the cell
phone outage that may have affected
Anderson County area customers along
with tens of thousands of others across
the country was software related, not a
cyber attack.
The company said in a statement the
massive outage that hit the companys
network Thursday, Feb., 22, is suspected to have been caused by a glitch in a
software update.
AT&T claimed the outages were
caused by "the application and execution of an incorrect process used as we
were expanding our network," rather
than a cyberattack, as many feared.
"We are continuing our assessment
of todays outage to ensure we keep
delivering the service that our customers deserve," the statement added.
Preliminary information showed
that the software update went wrong,
however, nothing nefarious or mali-
cious took place as it was not caused by
an external actor, sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to ABC
News.
More than 71,000 AT&T outages were
reported just before 8:00 a.m. ET, with
the majority of issues occurring in
Houston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles
and Atlanta, according to the company's official website. An estimated 3,000
Verizon outages and just over 1,100
T-Mobile outages were reported at 7:00
a.m. Thursday, though both companies
claimed their outages weren't directly impacting customers, rather people
attempting to reach another carrier
experiencing the issues.
The reported outages created concern for customers unable to call 911
during an emergency situation, which
was acknowledged by various fire
departments across the country

Families of alleged Chiefs rally shooters try to raise donations online
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
KANSAS CITY The family of the
second suspect charged with murder in the Kansas City parade shooting appears to have set up two fundraisers to pay for his medical bills
asccording to reporting in The New
York Post, just a day after it was
revealed that the other gunmans
family tried to do the same, according to a report.
The Post reported Dominic
Miller, 18, who allegedly fired the
gun that killed a mother of two at
the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl
celebration last week, saw about $85
donated for his medical expenses
in a since-deleted GoFundMe page
started by his older sister, Haylee
Scott, the Daily Mail reports.
The page claimed that time[s]
would be tough for Miller after he
was struck during the chaotic gun-
fight that ensued when a group he
was with took issue with the other
accused gunman, Lyndell Mays,
staring at them.
Along with the GoFundMe page,
the newspaper reported Millers
mother, Jamie Batres, allegedly started another fundraiser on
Classful to help her visit him while
hes in the hospital.
The page on Classful, a crowdfunding site meant to help teachers,
describes Miller as a Kansas City
Chiefs victim 18 years old fighting
for his life.
The Classful fundraiser, which
has raised no money as of Thursday
evening, says Batres needs help
with a hotel, food, [and] transportation to get back and forth to the
hospital where Miller is reportedly
in the ICU fighting for his life.

(Beal) West,
90,
passed
peacefully
on February
15, 2024, at
Medicalodges
of
Iola,
Kansas.
Dorothy
was
born
West
November
1, 1933, to
Albert Linn Beal and Grace
Henrietta (Harden) Beal in

Dorothy attended Junior
College of Allen County. She
became a teacher after graduation and taught at Indian Creek
for a year. During that year
she met and then married Paul
West of rural Colony on May
20, 1954. After this, she became
a homemaker.
Dorothy enjoyed reading,
crossword puzzles, sewing,
and traveling with her family.
She raised her 3 children and
3 grandchildren while remaining in rural Colony, even after
her husbands death.
Her memory lives on through
her son, Larry West of Blue
Springs, MO; her daughter,
Debby (Scott) Hobert of rural
Colony; grandchildren, Aaron
(Sarah) Atzbach, AJ (Garrett)
Atzbach, and Bryce (Carolyn)
Atzbach;
great-grandchildren, Aleister Stilling, Phoebe
Stilling, and Liam Atzbach; two
sisters, Nina Powell and Laura
Roush; one brother, Richard

Colony Christian Church
– The Second Sign
Pastor Chase Riebel's message
Sunday was "The Second Sign:
Healing an Officials Son" from
John 4: 46-54. We are to walk by
faith not by sight. Jesus wanted us to believe even without
seeing signs and wonders but
so people would believe He performed the miracles.
Lexy Riebel led the worship
team of Mike Billings and Ben
and Ethan Prasko. We sang "It
is Well With My Soul," a song
written by Horatio Spafford,
a successful attorney and real
estate investor who lost a fortune in the Chicago fire of 1871.
Around this same time he lost
his 4 year old son to scarlet
fever. He sent his wife and 4
daughters on a ship to England
which sank leaving his wife as
the sole survivor. He set sail for
England writing these words of
comfort and hope as the ship
sailed over the area where
their shipwreck had occurred.
Noah Gordon's communion
meditation was from Hebrews
11:7 and Matthew 14:25. It is
amazing how much faith Noah
had to have in order to build an
ark and how much faith Peter
had to have in order to walk on
the water with Jesus.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit
In Philippians chapter 2 the
Apostle Paul provides us with
a lesson in humility. In Phil.
2:6 Paul says, Jesus being in
the very nature God, did not
consider equality with God
something to be grasped but
made himself nothing, taking
the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance
as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to
death-even death on a cross.
This kind of attitude, taking
the very nature of a servant
being humble and obedient, is
in short supply today. Now
this is where comparing the
prevailing attitude today with
Christ gets foggy to say the
least. Paul tells us, each of you
should look not only to your
own interests, but also to the
interests of others. To what
extent are we to do this? I
believe the simple answer lies
in a relationship with the Holy
Spirit. If you are Spirit driven, you will find your answer
within your own heart. Giving
or caring for others out of compulsion or just to relieve your
conscience is not what we are
talking about. There is no
humility in that. I believe the
trait we are searching for is
compassion. The Holy Spirit is
all about compassion.
Jesus told the apostles in
John 14:16, I will ask the
Father, and he will give you
another Comforter to be with
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
you forever-the Spirit of truth.
If you are a compassionate
person you are more driven
toward others. Matthew tells
us in 9:36 When Jesus saw
the crowds he had compassion
on them, because they were
harassed and helpless, like
sheep without a shepherd. If
we are willing to invest compassion in others God will help
us with our own interests.
Your or my compassion will
not go unrewarded. Jesus ministry began when God empowered him with the Holy Spirit
in John 1:32-34. If we are to
take on the nature of Jesus we
need the same Spirit baptism.
The Spirit resides in everyone
to some extent. A relationship with the Holy Spirit is a
matter of choice on our part.
People only change when their
heart is softened from stone to
flesh and only the Holy Spirit
can accomplish this. If you
are willing to accept the power
available through the Holy
Spirit you will be amazed how
your life will change.

OPINION
Kansas schools: End New York class trips
Until some miracle happens and a modicum of
sensibility and safety returns to the government
and management of New York City, Kansas
high schools should take Gotham off their list
of potential destinations for school trips. The
Big Apple is proving itself rotten throughout,
and its no place to send our youth or spend our
money.
The situation is well documented with a
glance at just about any daily newscast. Crime
in NYC is up, sanitation and services are down,
criminals walk free with no bail hours after
committing theft and assault, and police sworn
to protect their communities and boroughs are
more and more frequently the target of violence
by gangs of illegal immigrants.
Is that really where Kansas wants to ship its
youngsters?
Of course it didnt used to be this way. In the
early 1990s when Rudy Giuliani used an iron
hand to whip the city back in line from three
decades of social decay, New York became a
hot spot destination with surging tourism in all
classes and massive business and commercial
development. Giuliani directed the New York
City Police Department to get tough on businesses, institutions, and even governmental units
linked to organized crime. He famously broke
the Gambino family, and by ending mob control
of the citys solid waste removal enterprises its
estimated he saved New York businesses some
600 million dollars a year.
When Giuliani took office in 1993 New York
totaled 1,946 murders. When he left office in
2001 that number had dropped to 649 and would
continue to decline. Giuliani cleaned up the city
physically and spiritually, and when the 9/11
attacks came, the rest of America was proud to
stand up for NYC.
Both visitors and residents alike lament the
decline of New York City as corruption, filth and
crime have re-established a new brand for The
Big Apple.
But how things have changed. New Yorkers
more than anyone else have paid for the incompetence and weak leadership of former mayor
Bill DeBlasio, who allowed cronyism to reinfect
New York City Services and metastasize into
a new debilitating corrupt bureaucracy which
has made the city, as it was described in decades
past, ungovernable again. More than a half
million New York state residents fled the city in
2022, headed for places like Florida, New Jersey,
Connecticut and Pennsylvania, according to the
Census Bureau.
Long Island native Joe Massaro, 39 and now
living on NYCs Lower East Side, made it pret-

ty plain in describing the once vaunted Times
Square to a reporter from The New York Post
last summer.
Its a sh- -hole around here, Massaro said.
New York leaderships embrace of progressive culture since the 2020 pandemic has magnified and exacerbated the citys unattractiveness.
Once proud to proclaim itself a Sanctuary
City where local authorities would refuse to
assist federal Immigration and Customs agents
in tracking down illegals and enforcing U.S.
immigration law, mayor Eric Adams now wails
that the illegal immigrant crisis brought on by
disastrous Biden Administration policy at the
southern border is an issue that will destroy
New York City. Liberal prosecutors and a justice system which more and more seems to
take the side of criminals has adopted no bail
policies, meaning those arrested for crimes can
literally be free on the street in a matter of hours
with nothing but a court appointment date.
Subway crime in NYC spiked some 22 percent
in just the first few months of 2024. Shoplifting
and smash-and-grab theft is killing New York
retail, yet leadership continues to go soft on
crime. This degradation of leadership shows in
recent news coverage from not getting the trash
picked up to attacks on police officers by illegal
immigrants holed up in the citys shelters.
Within its institutions New Yorks character
itself is broken, as evidenced by the ridiculous Court pursuit of former president Donald
Trump and court awards of asinine amounts of
money based on cases with no evidence and no
victims, aimed simply at stopping an American
from running for public office. New York has
thrown out the law along with its conscience and
replaced it with the politics of hate.
Is that the influence Kansas wants for its

At the Chiefs rally an African American youth
pulled an AK-47 out of his backpack and shot
in the stomach a Hispanic mother who was a
beloved local radio DJ, killing her; shot her
child, along with eight other children and others. Biden and Democrats immediately called for
gun control that disarms only the law abiding
citizens, leaving them defenseless, while Biden
and the Democrats are flooding this country
with the same foreign made, smuggled AK-47s,
due to their open borders policy, and releasing violent thugs onto the streets with their
pro-criminal and anti-law enforcement policies.
The uncontrolled influx of migrants and the
surrendering of energy independence in this

the Biden Administration, and reason enough

Courts must vacate Stalinist judgement against Trump
Recently Judge Arthur Engoron of New
York State Supreme Court, the lowest level
of courts of general jurisdiction, levied a
mammoth fine of some $370 million, including
interest, against Donald Trump for purported
fraud under a New York statute.
The term fraud is used loosely since no
one was defrauded, an element of a cause of
action under common law fraud, and no one
was harmed, also an element, and there was
no proof of reliance, another element. This
is fraud in the air, as the saying goes: no
harm by no one against no one for no loss by
anyone.
No one testified that they lost a penny from
the purported fraud, or that they would not
have wanted to deal with Trump as a customer. No one came forward to complain, except
Attorney General Letitia James. But more
about this modern-day Torquemada later in
this column.
Previously, the same judge ordered dissolution of Trumps businesses in the state, under
the supervision of a receiver. That order was
stayed by the appellate court pending appeal.
Following the order of dissolution, The
Associated Press reviewed nearly 150 reported cases under the statute used to punish
Trump and stated that nearly every previous
time a company was taken away, victims
and losses were key factors. Customers had

lost money or brought defective products or
never received services ordered, leaving them
cheated and angry.
Angry, although not a word to describe a
single customer, is Trump, and he has every
right to be. But it is also a word, along with
outraged, that applies to a range of commentators, not all allied with the former president.
Professor Jonathan Turley called the $370
million judgment confiscatory, extreme and
abusive. Professor Steven Calabresi termed
it a travesty and an unjust political act. The
subhead for his online commentary employed
the term Stalinist. Both law professors are
right.
Because the judgment does not relate to any
loss, the $370 million is not, properly understood, violative of the prohibition against
grossly excessive punitive damages. It does
fall, however, directly within the excessive
fines clause of the Eighth Amendment to the
United States Constitution.
In an opinion especially illuminating to
understand the wrongdoing by the attorney
general and Judge Engoron, the U.S. Supreme
Court held in Timbs v. Indiana (2019), that
the excessive fines clause is an incorporated
protection applicable to the states (all of them,
even New York) under the 14th Amendment to
the U.S. Constitution.
The Supreme Court stated that the clause
traces it venerable lineage back to at least
1215 and the Magna Carta. Despite Magna
Carta, imposition of excessive fines persisted.
The 17th century Stuart kings, in particular,
were criticized for using large fines to raise
revenue, harass their political foes, and indefinitely detain those unable to pay. These
remain concerns.
As the Supreme Court stated in Timbs: For
good reason, the protection against excessive
fines has been a constant shield throughout Anglo-American history: Exorbitant tolls
undermine other constitutional liberties.
Excessive fines can be used, for example, to
retaliate or chill the speech of political eneSEE FERGENSON ON PAGE 7
Russias more than a debate its an adversary to civilization
The poet Robert Frost once said that a liberal is someone too broad-minded to take his
own side in a fight. What would he say about
those on the right who seem to be confused
about the same question?
Over the last few days, Donald Trump told
a rally about how hed supposedly warned the
leader of a NATO nation that hed encourage the Russians to do whatever the hell
they want against countries that werent
spending enough on defense, while the former
Fox News personality Tucker Carlson broadcast videos from Moscow praising its grocery
stores and subways as superior to those in the
United States.
For its part, the Republican-controlled
House of Representatives is refusing to
approve another tranche of aid to Ukraine as
it runs short of artillery shells in a defensive
war against Russia.
Whats notable about all of this is that people who, in other contexts, are fierce about
the need to defend Western civilization are
unenthusiastic about a core institution of the
modern West — namely, NATO — and feel little
urgency about checking the aggression of a
Russia that is an avowed and long-time civilizational adversary of the West.
There are legitimate policy disagreements
about NATO and the Ukraine war, but there
shouldnt be any doubt about the larger significance of Vladimir Putins challenge to the
Wests interests, values and resolve.
In his classic book The Clash of
Civilizations, the late social scientist Samuel
Huntington wrote of an Orthodox civilization, centered in Russia and separate

years of Tatar rule, bureaucratic despotism,
and limited exposure to the Renaissance,
Reformation, Enlightenment, and other central Western experiences.
Theres some ambiguity about this, as
Russia has always had a conflicted relationship with the West. In the early 18th Century,
Peter the Great grabbed his country by the
neck and forced it to adopt more Western ways.
He built St. Petersburg as a European-style
city, and pursued a dizzying array of military,
administrative, educational, legal and cultural reforms. Peters mode of Westernizing,
though, was profoundly Russian — an exalted
ruler wielding brutish, centralized power.
It also caused an anti-Western reaction
— as the historian Orlando Figes points out in
his book The Story of Russia — among the
so-called Slavophiles who believed Russia had
turned away from what should be its true,
distinctive path.
For his part, Putin made a nod toward the
Petrine tradition initially upon taking power.
He stated his ambition to become part of
western European culture. But this gave
way, under the pressure of NATO expansion
and of Russias traditional resentments and
insecurities, to a determinedly anti-Western
view that draws on Slavophile thought.
Putin believes in authoritarianism, in a
strong Russian state, in the rehabilitation of
the countrys Soviet past, and in a Russian
civilization that is superior to a West corrupted by secularism and individualism.
He seeks to reunite the Russian world, a
concept, according to Figes, he got from the
patriarch of the Orthodox Church. He wants
to protect the family of Slavs and the tens
of millions of our citizens lost to the Russian
state after the supposed disaster of the fall of
the Soviet Union.
Its the misfortune of Ukraine, which straddles the line of Western and Orthodox civilization, to use Huntingtons terms, to be in
the firing line of these grandiose ambitions.
Ukraines desire to be a sovereign state of its
own and, in particular, to align itself with
the hated West is intolerable for Putin. Hes
explained at great length why he believes
Ukraine has no legitimacy as an independent
nation, and his model of a neo-tsarism where
elections are fake and opposition leaders die
in Arctic prisons would be threatened by a
Ukraine that successfully embraced a version
of the Western model.
Give Putin this — at least hes defending
what he considers his civilizational birthright
of despotism and illiberalism. Any true friend
of our own should be appalled.

All preachers need to do is preach from their

Are people really celebrating Presidents Day
today? Are you kidding? I didnt even know
we had a president. Nothing to celebrate here.
You can view online the News Nation interview with the Hispanic woman whose family
member tackled the killer at the Chiefs rally
whom she described as African-American. An
AK-47 dropped at her feet and she moved it
away. You can see a photo of it and the black
juvenile behind in handcuffs. Nine children
were shot in all, and the black mayor is more
concerned that the black youths were called
thugs by the governor than he is about those
that are shot. Authorities immedialty determined it wasnt hate or terror, just a dispute.
As if someone comes to an event like that with
an AK-47 not already planning something.

sickening.
I would like to request a song from about
1984 and its called Dont Quit and the first
words are things go wrong as they sometimes do. Id appreciate it as it might make
a lot of people think about being stronger as
weve had two or three years of crazy. Thank
you.
Please, please, can somebody tell Nikki Haley
if shes truly a Republican to please step
down. Ive never seen two Republicans run in
the election and it not be handed over to the
Democrats. If the Republicans want to win
the race theyre going to have to unify. Shes
going to have to step down.

HISTORY
Native American artifacts 50 years ago….Price of stamps jumps to 10 cents, airmail now 12 cents
from 2023 searches
I bet a lot of you gave up
on me hunting for Native
American artifacts. To tell you
the truth, I only went twice
in 2023. I just cant do all that
walking that I once did. Even
though I went only two times,
I found several artifacts at one
of my favorite sites. Here are
three of my finds.
#1 – Bison teeth
#2 – A perfect example of a
Woodland arrowhead.
#3 – Some refer to it #1
as a birdpoint, but just
a tiny arrowhead, used
to kill small game and
birds.
#4 – Two different
pottery shards from the
same site. A corded or
impressed and a smooth
surface.

The US Department of
Agriculture has approved twenty-seven Kansas Dairy Plants
under regulations for inspecting and grading manufactured
or processed dairy products,
including the ANCO Cheese
Co. Plant in Garnett. One of
the outstanding public auctions
on this weeks schedule is the
sale of used farm machinery
by the Hodgson Implement Co
of Garnett. Over 180 persons
are served a buffet supper in
the Kincaid High School gym
Thursday for the Anderson
County Soil Conservation
District. The Anderson County
Bankers Association furnished
the meal, presenting three
Kansas Bankers certificates to
five farmers and their wives
for outstanding conservation
practices.

March 2 is the tentative
date for the stay increase,
but according to the Garnett
Postmaster, there has yet to be
an official word of confirmation. However, when the rate
goes into effect, it will affect all
classes of mail. Stamps will go
from eight to ten cents, postcards from six to eight cents,
and airmail from eleven to
twelve cents. A Cherryvale
man was killed south of Welda
when his tractor-trailer overturned. The accident occurred
at the north end of the approach
to the overpass south of Welda.
The Central Heights USD 288

$800 annual raise in base pay

Publisher Leonard McCalla,
Jr, 75, died Feb 22 at KU Medical
Center in Kansas City. McCalla
had been associated with the
Anderson Countian since 1924
and editor since 1942 following
his fathers retirement. In 1956,
he and Earl Knauss merged the
Countian and the Review to
form the Garnett Publishing
Co. The Garnett community
enthusiastically responded to
the new Neighborhood Watch
program sponsored by the
Garnett PRIDE Committee with
the cooperation of the Garnett
Police Department. More than
13 signs were purchased by
groups and individuals to be
placed around the community
following the recent presentation. Next Wednesday, a group
of citizens in the Park Avenue
addition, located between West
Fourth and Seventh Avenue in
Garnett, are planning a meeting to organize the first area
neighborhood group for the
program.

The Garnett City Planning
Commission will recommend to
the city commission at its next
meeting to approve a building
permit for a storage building
proposed for the 100 block of
West Fourth Avenue. The recommendation was approved
but failed to be included in the
citys zoning ordinances before
the commission changed it.
Residents protested the change,
saying the construction would
detract from the aesthetics of
Fourth Avenue and the architecture of the Courthouse
Square. The decision concerning the building permit
now lies in the hands of the
city council. A search by the
Anderson County Commission
has received no bids for electoral or plumbing work needed to
renovate the Anderson County
Jail. However, commissioners
say several local businesses
were asked to bid on the project. Last week, commissioners
approved a bid of $64,100 by a
Paolo business to renovate the
old jail and bring it back to
state and federally mandated
standards. However, electrical
and plumbing were not included.

was recently recognized as
the Anderson County High

Award recipient. Moore has
spent a lifetime giving to her

Drafty windows in the
Anderson County Courthouse
are the primary culprit in the
buildings heating cost hike.
The nearly 110-year-old windows are not as efficient as
newer double-paned windows,

functioning at less than 50 percent efficiency.
Anderson
County will soon join an
Extension district rather than

Students at Greeley Elementary were excited to receive a new Gaga Ball Pit to use during P.E. or indoor recess. Gaga Ball is a face-paced
game and a gentler form of dodge ball. The pit is a low wall made of plastic forms that connect to form a large circle. Any number of
children can be in the pit and they must hit the foam ball with their hand in an attempt to strike another player below the knee. The Gaga
Ball Pit was purchased by the Greeley PTO with proceeds from fundraisers.

Proposing policy
be developed throughout the
spring and summer.
Other issues may be referred
to the board of directors or
sent to staff for further study.
The results of the committees
work will be the subject of our
Listening Post meetings in
every district this fall. Based
on the results of those discussions the final policy recommendations will be made.
Then in December at Kansas
Farm Bureaus Annual Meeting
the delegates will discuss and
vote on the final policy recommendations that will go into
our policy book and will be the
road map for our time working
with legislators in Topeka and
Washington D.C.
This is a long and sometimes
tedious process, but it does
result in policy that is relevant
and well thought out. Each
Glenn Brunkow, Pottawatomie
County farmer and rancher
In the next couple of weeks
each of Kansas Farm Bureaus
10 districts will be holding
their issue surfacing meetings.
I am a little late with this for a
couple of districts, and I apologize to the 2nd and 4th districts.
Good timing has never been
my thing. This is the beginning of our policy development
process and something I would
hope each member is involved
in.
The fact that Kansas Farm
Bureaus (KFB) policy is completely developed from members bringing their issues forward is what gives our organization its influence. Legislators
know each of our policy items
were important enough to an
individual to speak up and a
majority of all our members
felt it was worth addressing
through policy.
If you are not familiar with
our issue surfacing meeting, it
is an opportunity for members
to bring issues and concerns to
KFBs Resolutions Committee
for further discussion and
study. Often the committee
members, district board member and KFB staff will have
speakers to provide timely education.
The best part about this process is it often sparks a discussion by other members at the
meeting which can awareness
of an issue. It also is a time
when we can see if the issue is
one of greater concern or more
localized in nature.
I would encourage you to
find out when and where your
districts issue surfacing meeting is. They are all scheduled
for the next month. If you are in
a district that has already met,
or you will not be able to attend
your districts meeting you can
submit an issue at www.kfb.
org/advocacy.
Issues raised will be considered by the resolutions committee at its spring meeting.
That topic will be discussed
and, depending on committee
action, preliminary policy may

youth, and is that the systemic decline Kansas school
districts want to support with
their meager travel funds?
Educational opportunities,
history, culture and entertainment abound in other
places in the U.S. and should
be priority considerations
for Kansas schools considering student trips. Rich in
value and opportunity, these
other destinations offer comparable benefits without the
expense, social decay and
safety risk of New York City.

mies, as the Stuarts critics learned
several centuries ago.
And excessive fines are a cheap
source of revenue, in the case of
Trump being a lot of revenue, especially for a state that has been bleeding population and high-income taxpayers.
The virtue of an Eighth
Amendment challenge is that it
places the political prejudices of
the attorney general and the supine
Judge Engoron relevant and front
and center. James made getting
Trump a centerpiece of her campaign for the post she now holds. All
of her statements attacking Trump
are now fodder for the inevitable
appeal and attendant stay.
With this Stalinist judgment, it
is no longer Trump who is on trial,
but the New York state (in)justice
system. Judge Engoron, New Yorks
version of the infamous Judge Ito,
has brought the New York courts
into disrepute.
The only way to restore even a
modicum of confidence that New
York will not destroy those with
whom it disagrees is for the appellate
tribunals to take immediate action
to vacate the judgment in its entirety
as bringing into disrepute the states
courts. If the case survives even a
day longer than tomorrow, Judge
Engoron should be removed from
the matter and replaced with a jurist
who understands law and justice.
Finally, this is not the only case
that New York prosecutors have
levied against Trump. Manhattan
District Attorney Alvin Bragg has
indicted Trump for what is almost
universally condemned as a legally
meritless alleged crime.
While it is beyond the brief of this
column to discuss it in more detail
here, it does seem that cooperation
by Bragg and James relating to their
respective actions against Trump
could potentially support a lawsuit
by the former president under 42
U.S.C. 1983 and 1985 for violations of
his constitutional rights.
Congress has the power to investigate the possibility of collusion by
these two New York officials, and
should do so promptly. They owe it
to not only to Trump, but also to all
of us, wherever we might live.

Once upon a time, an old
man and an old lady were
living a normal life. The old
lady was getting groceries
until a younger guy came in
and saw the old lady grabbing the last ketchup bottle.
He rushed over and he saw
the lady putting the ketchup
bottle in her cart. Hey!, the
young man shouted. Yes?
the older lady said. I need
that ketchup bottle more than
you! The old lady was confused but she needed it for hot
dogs. Im very sorry sir but
I need this for my hot dogs.
The man was furious because
he needed it for something
very important. The man
said Im sorry but I will not
give you the ketchup. The
mans expression went from a
straight face to an angry face.
The lady was a little scared of
him just standing there staring at her with an angry face.
Hello? Are you okay young
man? Suddenly the man
punches the lady! A person
saw what happened and called
the cops. The cops arrive at
the time the guy gets out of
the store and he leaves.
The cops are confused
about where the guy is. The
person who saw it said that
he had run away. Meanwhile,
the old man reading the newspaper started to worry about
where his wife was, until the
cops came to the door and
knocked. When the old man
opened the door the cops were
there. Yes? Your wife had a
bad accident. The old mans
eyes got wide and so big they
were almost as big as a baseball. Is she okay? The old man
asked. The police explained
what happened to his wife.
The old man started bawling in tears of sadness and
anger. The policeman tried to
calm the old man down but

The Good King
the man kept screaming. They
finally calmed the man down
and said the funeral would
be soon. The man nodded his
head and pretended he was
okay. The policeman said at
8:00 the funeral would happen.
The man agreed and said he
would meet them there. They
left after that. The old man
was furious and was going to
hunt this guy down, he said in
a low voice. Two hours later
at 7:45 and the man got in his
car and drove to the address
the police came in. Ten minutes later he showed up at his
wifes funeral at exactly 8:00.
The police met him and led
him to his wifes tombstone.
They said that they would
leave him alone so he could
say what he wanted to say.
The man agreed and they
left him alone. He just stood
there for a bit and finally
whispered, Whoever did this
I will make them pay. The
man put on his fake smile and
turned around and left. The
next morning the old man got
up and went to his computer.
He started typing the situation that happened to his
wife and found the guy who
did it. The old man clicked
the guy. His name was John
and he was 55 years old and
lived near the old man. He
found out where John was
and started to plan what he
was going to do. The old
man got his notebook and
wrote what he would do.
First step, get dressed in all
black he said. so the man
got dressed in all black.
Next step, get a weapon for
important reasons. The old
man had no weapons so he
went to a store and looked
for a specific bat. One that
baseball players use. So the
man of course found a wooden baseball bat. He went up
to the cashier and bought
the baseball bat. The worker was getting suspicious of
that guy but didnt worry
that much about it. Then
the old man got to Johns
house he walked up the
steps. The man was about
to ring the doorbell when
the first words that he said
were Im coming for you
John. Youll regret what
you did.

Once upon a time there
lived a good king. His name
was Alex or Alexander. His
wifes name was Vandaline.
They lived together for three
happy years. On Christmas
day, Vandaline died. Alex was
so sad he became very angry.
He vowed never to wed again.
So for 8 years, Alex ruled with
anger. Children were never
able to play on the streets for
it reminded him of what he
never had. As he grew older,
he would need a good man to
replace him. One day, a child
came to his throne room. He
looked about 10. He said, I
Wish Your Heart would change
so we can live happily.
What did you just say!?
Alex roared. I know you heard
me, Alex, said the child whose
name was Joshua.
Alexander you mean! Why
can I get no respect these
days?, Alex said. First of all
I met Alex not Alexander, and
you get respect too much I say.
But you get it because people
fear you, not like you, Joshua
said. Yeah, said a voice
from behind. It was Joshuas
little sister Annabella. Who
are you?, Alex asked? My
name is Annabella but my
mom calls me Anna. I am 8
years old and Joshuas little
sister, she said. I dont care,
Alex said. Dont you realize what you have caused?,
Anna said. You have caused
great sadness throughout your
kingdom, Joshua added. Us
children are not learning how
to read, write and divide and
soon all the generations will be
used to this and continue it,
said Anna. As the king listened
to the childrens wise advice
he began to think is it true?
What have I done? What
am I doing? Goodness these
children are wise. Finally, the
children said they would come
back tomorrow, and see if he
had thought it over.
As he lay in bed he thought,
goodness maybe they are right!
I should let the past go and
welcome the future. Tomorrow
is Christmas. I shall go and
celebrate with the people!
The next day as soon as
he woke up Alex paraded
through town shouting Merry
Christmas. Once he had
stopped at every door Alex
planned a party. Once everyone was there Alex said, I
would like to thank my new
friends for they changed my
heart. Please come up Joshua
and Annabella.
As they walked up Alex said
I want to thank you with a gift.
Joshua I have chosen you to be
my next king! And Annabella,
you are now pronounced harp
player. And so Joshua became
king and Anna was harp player. Every Christmas the people would raise their goblets
in honor of the old good King
Alexander the Great! The end.

There once lived a really rich
man and he weighed about
990 lb.
One morning as he came
lumbering down an 80 ft marble staircase he thought what
he wanted for breakfast. As
he came into the huge kitchen
he told his cook he wanted 70
stacks of pancakes, 12 pans of
sausage patties, six pans of
eggs, two pans of grits with
honey, three pans of bacon
and 12 glasses of Orange juice.
After he finished his large
breakfast he decided that
he was going to the lake. He
heaved himself into the cab of
his huge semi and yanked the
door closed.
He pressed the starter and
nothing happened. He pressed
it again. Again, nothing happened. He did that five times
and not a thing happen. What
in the world is wrong with
this thing? he said. Its a
brand new semi. He mumbled to himself as he started
climbing down. On the way
down his pant leg caught on

the second step he fell on his
face with with a splat. All the
servants ran out to look if
the barn collapsed. The cook
asked a servant, Did you feel
the earthquake in the kitchen?
The fridge and the stove fell
over and all the cabinet doors
flew wide open and all the
pretty dishes broke! They all
rounded the semi and stopped
short at the site before them.
There on the ground lay the
man with blood dripping out
of his mouth.
Someone call 911, screamed
a servant.
He did and in five minutes
an ambulance came to pick
him up. Now they had a problem of picking the man up to
put him on a stretcher. All 30
servants and four EMTs tried
hard to lift him. And all of
them failed.
What are we supposed to
do? an EMT asked one of the
servants.
Well, said the servant,
we have a forklift we have
the barn and if you want to
use that to try to lift him.
Well for pity sakes, shouted
one of the EMTs. Go get it
and hurry!
The servant hurried away
and soon came puttering
back. He drove up to the
man lying on the ground and
put the pallet forks under
him and pulled the lever
back to lift him. Nothing
happened. He pulled it back
again nothing happened. He
pulled it back a third time
and nothing happened. All
the servants started shouting. Finally he gave it an
enormous yank. The forklifts forks flew up into the
air throwing the man up
in the sky! The servants
gasped with horror! Then
he drove pell mell toward
where he thought he would
come down. Sure enough,
two minutes later he came
flying down and with a loud
clunk he landed on the pallet forks.The forklift tipped
forward. All the servants
went flying over there and
jumped on the back of the
forklift. Plop! It came down.
The servant with the forklift
wheeled around and raced
the the ambulance and loaded the man in and and closed
the doors.
All ready, he called to
the astonished EMTs. They
raced to the doors yanked
them open and jumped in
and prepared to drive away
but there was a loud crack that
stopped them they heard the
man scream. They all rushed
over to the doors and opened
them. Out stormed the man as
mad as a hornet.
What on earth are you trying to do, trying to kill me?
Because if you are youre
doing a great job!
He glared to everyone. The
EMTs peeled away with the
siren wailing. All the servants
dashed for the house and
the servant with the forklift
wheeled behind the barn and
stayed there. As for the man,
he stormed into the kitchen
and said he was going up to
his room and he wanted a
snack of 30 peanut butter and
jelly sandwiches, 12 bags of
chips, two containers of cookies and a pitcher of milk. With
that he left for his room and
decided that he would go to
the lake the next day.
The next morning dawned
bright and early the man
woke up at 8:00 a.m. .
After his usual breakfast
he told the cook that he was
going to the lake and wanted
to take lunch with him so the
cook put three pots of chili, 20
egg sandwiches, and a thermos of milk in a large basket.
A servant had called a
mechanic early in the morning and now his semi worked
like a charm. He climbed in
and started the semi and away
he went.
Twenty minutes later he
arrived and parked under a
grove of trees. He had noticed
when he drove and that there
was only one boat left. He
climbed out and started for the
remaining boat. He pushed it
in the water and jumped in
and away he went.
When he was about halfway across the lake, the boat
started making funny noises.
Crack pop snap! There floated
a piece of the boat away. Soon
there floated a huge chunk
away. EEK, he cried, Soon
I will have no boat left! Then
the boat started to sink. At
least I know how to swim
he said to himself. There was
about half of the boat gone
so he leaped over the side.
Splash!
Fish, crabs, lobsters, clams, blue
whales, dolphins all went to flying.
All of a sudden he realized that he
was sitting on dry land. At first he
was puzzled then it dawned on him
that when he jumped he made such
a huge splash that there wasnt any
water in the lake anymore.

Central Heights – 6th Grade
Mrs. Clifton 2nd PLACE
It was 12:35 a.m. when her
life changed forever.
Taylor was never introduced to horses, sales, or auctions. But today, that changed.
Taylors uncle was taking her
to a kill pen today. He needed
to buy a horse for his ranch
because his other two horses
were getting too old to do anything anymore. Taylor wandered around looking at all the
skinny, large, short, tall, nice,
and mean horses. There was
this one horse that caught her
eye.
He was a deep black thoroughbred. He was very skinny,
but Taylor saw something in
him. She went up to pet him
when he backed away. Why
would he do that? Taylor
asked herself. Taylor climbed
up on his pen and looked at
him, hard.
Taylor dear its time, her
uncle called out.
When the announcer started
calling out a lot of numbers,
she didnt understand what
they were doing. Her Uncle
Bob looked nervous, but why?
Finally, that horse that she
saw earlier was up for sale.
Bob, I want him please!
Taylor asked.
Why him? Bob question.
Please, Taylor pleaded.
Fine. Uncle Bob said reluctantly.
Taylor watched as the handler walked him in circles. She
could tell he was nervous. Her
Uncle Bob kept bidding, but
there was this one guy who
just wouldnt give up. Taylor
got frustrated and raised her
hand. $500? the announcer
asked. Taylor raise her hand,
she wanted that horse, even if
it meant getting in trouble by
Uncle Bob.
Sold! the announcer shouted. Taylor could tell Uncle Bob
was frustrated with her, but he
wouldnt regret it. Eventually
they got him loaded into the
trailer, and Taylor couldnt
have been more excited. They
got home and the horse acted
differently. It seemed like he
was more calm than when she
first tried to touch him.
Bob led him into a paddock
to run and stretch his legs
since he has been in a barn all
day. Taylor went inside, ate,
and went to sleep. She couldnt
stop thinking about what
would happen tomorrow.
When she went out there to
find him, she went to pet him,
but he ran away. She tried to
run after him, but he was just
too fast. Maybe later today?
She tried again later and she
still couldnt manage to feel his
coarse hair. Feeling frustrated, she went inside and called
her best friend, Bailey. Taylor
hadnt seen her in forever! She
always wondered what she had
been doing over the summer.
It was weird, she wasnt
responding to any of the calls
or messages, and she always
does. A couple weeks went by
and Taylor still couldnt pet
the horse, maybe it was a mistake buying him. She hadnt
given up just yet though, she
had an idea. Taylor went out,
but this time she went out with
an apple.
When she walked out there
he looked at her, thought about
running off, and then looked
at her again. That made her
smile, and eventually he came
up to her and she was able to
put a halter on him and lead
him around a bit. Not to mention she was quite shocked at
the fact that he let her put a
halter on him! So, maybe buying him was a good decision.
She went inside and talked
to her uncle about all of this
and he said it was great, but
she needed to get him trained
quickly because of his other
two old horses. Taylor understood because she felt bad
for his other two horses. So
it made her even more determined to get his training moving quickly.
The next day she went out,
haltered him and tied him up.
Taylor went to the garage to
Joshua Yoder Central Plains 6th Grade Mrs. Keim
get a saddle pad and saddle.
She was kind of nervous about
how he would react to a saddle.
She put the saddle pad on his
back gently and eventually got
the saddle up there with it.
He started acting antsy but she
tried to ignore it.
She started to do up the
cinch when he stepped away.
It wasnt shocking though. So
she tried to do it again and he
let her. I guess they were learning to trust each other. Taylor
didnt know much about horses so she didnt know what to
do next. She decided to hop on
and see what he would do.
Taylor led him over to the
fence and got on. She took it
really slow though. He started
walking forward until she lost
control over him. After all, she
was riding him in a halter and
lead rope instead of reins. He
started to run around in small
circles and Taylor was most
definitely scared. She held on
for dear life.
His running in circles slowly turned into small bucks and
Taylor couldnt hold on any
longer. when she fell off, she
fell hard. she probably bruised
her shoulder from being
thrown against the pen.
Of course minutes later she
got right back on, but she
put on a hackamore which
is like a mouth bit, but only
goes around the muzzle of the
horse, this time because she
didnt really know how to put
on a bridle yet. This time when
he tried to Buck she twisted
him in a circle and that fixed
her problem. So she took him
on her favorite trail and tried
to think of names for him.
Nothing really came to her
mind when she came across
this weird, short-looking tree.
She stared at it for a while
until the name popped into
her head. The tree was a mix
of red, yellow and orange
Oakley! That was his name,
Oakley.
Taylor wanted to see what
he could do, so she ran home
as fast as she could, not caring
if he bucked or did something
silly. When they got home she
unpacked Oakley and put him
in his stall. Taylor went inside
only to find her Uncle Bob crying at the dinner table. She
rushed to his side questioning
him if he was all right.
He explained that one of
his horses had passed away.
Taylor wasnt the best at comforting people so she didnt
really know what to do other
than hug him. Taylor never
really knew much about that
horse but she knew his horses
meant everything to him.
Months had passed, Taylor had
got Oakley all trained and even
started to take him to some
rodeos around town.
Taylor and Oakley were
starting to succeed each and
every day. Taylor found an end
of the year rodeo poster hung
Sawyer Oran Central Heights 4th Grade Ms. Cutburth
up on a lamppost that had
a reward of $500. She eagerly sprinted home and started
practicing on Oakley. Oakley
wasnt as thin as he used to
be anymore, he put on some
weight and was really good
looking.
Next Friday was when the
rodeo was. and that was way
faster than Taylor was expecting. Friday night Taylor loaded
Oakley into her trailer and had
her Uncle Bob drive her to the
rodeo. When Taylor got there
she started tacking Oakley up.
Taylor had never really been
nervous about going to rodeos
but this time she was, maybe
because the reward was $500.
Taylor climbed up on
Oakley and started warming
him up. They got through all
of the bull riding, team roping,

bronc riding and it was finally
time for barrel racing, the last
event. About three to four girls
went before Taylor and now
it was Taylors turn. Taylor
burst out of the alleyway turning the first barrel fast and
hard and then she turned the
second, the clock still ticking.
She runs fast and hard around
the 3rd and home. A time of
14.23! The fastest time! Taylor
had the fastest time on Oakley!
After the rodeo ended
Taylor got her $500 and took
her picture with Oakley and
Uncle Bob since she couldnt
have done it without them.
Taylor even decided to give her
$500 to her uncle. Taylor and
her uncle couldnt have been
more excited and Taylor and
Oakleys story had just started.

The Night of the Bite The Crying Lady
Tanna Clark
GES – 4th Grade
Mrs. K. Miller 2ND PLACE
On Memorial Day my little brother Trevor and I were
outside around 9:00 p.m. in
the pasture. My cat ran away
so we were looking for him.
When we reached the end
of the pasture I felt a sharp
pain in my ankle. It was like
a shiver for a few seconds.
Trevor was yelling mom!
mom! Tanna got a cut in her
foot! So my mom brought the
four wheeler and towel. Once
we got back to the house, my
mom told me to go wash off
the blood. Once the blood
was off my mom saw the bite
marks and called my dad as
I was screaming in pain and
while Trevor was trying to
comfort me. When my dad got
home he put an IV in my arm.
I started to puke and Trevor
started to cry. My older brother Trey came home with his
girlfriend Laney. They took
Trevor to her house.Then
my dad had his helicopter on
standby. He said I might have
to go to Childrens Mercy. I
was terrified. I ended up going
to Olathe Health in Paola, my
moms work. I got checked
in and got some water. We
were there for 2 hours or so.
I got scared. The doctor said
I was free to go. The next day
I was okay until after lunch,
I didnt feel good after lunch.
I puked and my sister Taylor
was holding my hair back.
Once my mom got home she
bought snacks and got me
medicine. My mom told me to
rest on the couch with my tablet. I started to feel better. My
birthday was a few days after.
I was so excited because I got
crocs. My sister had softball
so I went to Papa and Grands
house with Trevor. It was
awesome. My snake bite was
scary but I pushed through
with the help from my family.
A Tale of the Fisherman
Kenzzy Smith
Central Heights – 5th Grade
Mrs. Riemer 2ND PLACE
There was a town where
not much crime went on and
it was peaceful until one day
when all that changed. A town
fisherman went missing on the
way to the lake. News got out
and they started an investigation. Tom the lead detective
was cruising around and found
something unusual. The fishermans car was abandoned and
they found his wallet and his
ID. His name was Joel so they
started a search party looking
everywhere for Joel but didnt
find him.
They found a trail of blood
on Cherry Street and it led to
the sewage drain. They told
the people about the new lead,
and people were worried about
a murderer being on the loose.
A volunteer Treyton went to
the sewage drain, they heard
a scream, then water filled
with blood went everywhere.
Everyone was afraid but Tom
decided to go down there. It
was a very brave decision for
him.
So they tied a rope around
him and down he went. We
heard a battle of punches and
slapping. He got pulled up and
refused to speak about what
happened. He was covered in
blood but Treyton came up and
he had a huge bite mark on
his mid thigh on his left leg.
Everyone was excited to see
him but he didnt talk either.
It was like something was controlling him. Tom went back
down and pulled out several
bodies of missing people but
yet there wasnt a trace. Had
the monster accidentally
messed up or was it a trick?
So this is the big decision
of what they should do. They
decided that they should continue the search. So they got
some meat to lure the thing
out. so they hid and waited and
they set up cameras. A little
while later they saw something
crawl towards a house. Then
after like five minutes, they
heard screaming. Then saw a
spider human looking thing
with a babys head. They tried
to catch it but couldnt.
Finally, it crawled back into
the sewer and Tom said he was
going to go to the sewer and
get it. They all told Tom no it
is too dangerous to do that,
but he didnt listen to them
and there he went down into
the sewage drain. They heard
wrestling and came up with the
weird creature. They took the
creature to the lab and prepped
to test it. So they left the room,
when they came back five minutes later it was gone. A week
later the town reported another fisherman was missing.

Once Upon A time, there was
a house in the forest. It was a
haunted house. On the outside
it looked abandoned but on the
inside, it was beautiful, not like
a mansion beautiful, like a fantasy beautiful. Right outside the
forest, there was another house.
A mother of three children lived
in that house. The mom was
wealthy, and she had a good job.
Her name was Heather, she
worked as a nurse. Heathers
kids names are Jack, whos
10 years old, Amelia, who is 12
years old, and theres Harper
who is 14 years old. One night
the mom was working late and
wouldnt return until the morning. The kids were bored so they
went on an adventure to the forest. They came across a lot of
cool things.
Like a swamp, but the swamp
was spooky. It was getting dark
outside so it was hard to see
for them. After they were done
exploring a swamp they came
across an abandoned house in
the forest they didnt know what
it was. A little later they heard
screaming. They were wondering what it was so they went to
go check it out.
When they got close to it Jack
said hey isnt that the creepy
house? Amelia and Harper
replied yes it is. They got
freaked out because when they
first heard the screaming it was
not at the creepy house. They
didnt care that much. They
were curious about what was
in the house so they wanted to
explore it.
The door was open so they
went inside. When they got
inside the screaming turned
into crying. They got even
more freaked out when they got
close to crying and it suddenly
stopped. When they got closer
and closer they heard whispering. Jack asked if they were
playing jokes on them but they
replied no why would we do
that? They went into another
room then all of a sudden every-
thing went black.
They started feeling dizzy
then the house started to look
different. It looked more like
the outside. They ran out of
the house and ran back to their
house when they got there they
saw the moms car outside in the
driveway. They went inside to
see the mom sitting on the couch
waiting for them.
Where were you guys this
late at night?, she asked in a
concerned voice. They responded we went to explore the forest. Dont do that again, especially at night, said mom. The
kids simply said okay but they
didnt listen. They wanted to
know what that screaming and
crying was. When their mom
was asleep the oldest daughter
Harper grabbed a small backpack and put three water bottles, a small pocket knife, some
snacks and three flashlights in
it.
After she was done with that
she woke up her siblings. It
was almost midnight. Jack and
Amelia were so tired. They went
to the bathroom to wash their
faces. You guys should have
been ready, said Harper.
Well, Im sorry that you woke
us up at midnight, said Amelia.
Its not midnight, Harper said.
Well, if were being specific,
11:30, said Amelia. Okay whatever just hurry up, said Harper.
After they were done they started heading out and making their
way to the forest.
Then all of a sudden Amelia
froze. She couldnt move. She
felt breathing on the back of
her neck. She started to scream.
Jack and Harper jumped and
asked whats the matter why
you screaming? Amelia was
too afraid to speak. Well whats
wrong?, said Harper.
Amelia started to stutter. Its
b-b-breathing on my neck, she
whispered. Jack and Harper
started walking slowly towards
her. Once they got to her they
grabbed her and hugged her
tight. Harper whispered in her
ear and said run as fast as you
can to the house in the forest.
Then they all began to run. They
ran as fast as they could.
They arrived there and began
searching the house. Jack commented Hey, dont you guys
think the house looks different
from last time? Harper and
Amelia agreed with him and
they began searching rooms in
all of the house. They separated from each other to search
the house. Amelia went into one
room which was the bathroom
and heard whispering, then
she began to feel breathing on
her neck again. She called for
Harpers name and told Harper
what was happening to her.
Harper told her to breathe and
calm down.
They went out of the room to
go find Jack, and they found Jack
staring at a painting upstairs in
the attic. Then they saw blood on
the ground by Jack. Jacks nose
was bleeding. They asked him
what happened to him and he
replied saying he didnt know. I
didnt feel anything.
The girls thought that was
weird so they told him to go
get his stuff and they were leaving. Then Jack started to giggle
and said we are not going anywhere! in a deep voice. Harper
said quit playing around we
are leaving then grabbed his
arm and went out the door. Jack
threw her against a wall. She
started bleeding.
Amelia ran to Harper and
grabbed her to run back to the
house. Jack was chasing them!
They couldnt believe that Jack
did that. They arrived at the
house safely. it was three in the
morning so they decided to go
back to bed. They ended up waking up at 8:00 in the morning.
They woke up and took showers because they were covered
in blood and they wrapped and
cleaned the cuts on Harpers
back. When they got done doing
that they went to the kitchen.
There were pancakes, bacon,
and eggs. Mom was cooking and
then asked where their brother
was. They replied I dont know
hes probably still sleeping.
Mom said okay but sit down and
eat. You are too skinny. They all
laughed.

HONORABLE MENTION
If I was Martin Luther King
Jr., I would stop a lot of danger and bad habits to make
America a better place and
equal rights. I have listed a
lot of good ideas but stuff right
now is really bad. Were being
bad role models so we should
help each other out and clean
up our acts. I have listed a
few ideas about how we should
live.
Stop people from smoking.
The reason why is because it
is bad for you and it is making
our population decrease. families are hurt because of this.
The second thing I would
do is adopt families in need
that need it and to make sure
that they live how they want
to live. I would also stop a
lot of oil companies. I think
this would stop people from
getting sick and to keep the
environment safe. It would
also keep the water cleaner
if we stop oil companies.
For our safety I would have
people lock their doors
because a lot of people have
gone missing and Im sure
parents would definitely
agree.
I would have everybody
equal. I believe that all
people should be treated
the same. blacks and whites
should be treated the same.
Nobody should be mistreated.
We should probably put more
fences around our houses. It
will keep our pets safe. it will
also keep our kids safe but
most importantly to keep burglars out!
We should pick up more

trash because it would help the
environment and us because
we should look at a beautiful
park not a park full of trash.
This also could be a hazard
for animals, and little kids. We
should have a safe park. The
8th thing I would do is help
the poor. I would donate food,
clothes and money. We should
all have a chance to live a life.
This year we donated socks to
the Hope House and the people
there were so happy. I would
like you to be that person. And
this is something extra. This
is something important, not
a joke, make sure you save
your money to go to college
or what you want to do. The
nice thing I would do is make
public bathrooms more clean
in schools. I would add more
stalls.
You know how you go to
a Royals game and theres
always a line, yeah, I went to a
Royals game a few months ago
and the line was outrageous.
It was so long. Ill add more
bathrooms to the arenas. You
may not think this is good but
this is what I think and I think
this will make America better.
These ideas to me look really
good and I approve.

My name is Duane, today
is my birthday. I am turning

me on my first deer hunt. I
think that it will be fun. It
is 5:15 and I am in a blind.
Look, my dad whispers. I
see, I said, Its an eight
point.
I start to shake as I put the
rifle up to my shoulder.
Should I shoot? I ask.
He says he thinks I can if
I want. As I pick out a spot
by his lungs I hear something. I look up and what I
see takes my breath away.
A 16 point! I move my aim. I
gently pull the trigger boom!
He runs away. I go check
where he had been standing. I see drops of blood. I
follow the trail to the fence
and then I stop. I see drops
in the woods. I follow them. I
see the deer! I hit him in the
lungs. We load up the deer
on my dads truck. We head
home. We parked the truck
in the garage. I am very
tired. I put my gun away and
go to bed. Good night.

up with. It looks great. That
was really fun. My diary is
out of space now. Goodbye.
Duane Kertley.
It was an early morning
around 9:30 a.m. it was the
first Christian Youth Rodeo
Association Rodeo of the year.
Moments later the rodeo was
just about to start, I just had
that gut feeling that today was
going to be awkward, then a
few moments later the sky got
dark, the wind was blowing, we
had tents up and they started
going everywhere, horses were
going crazy, kids were very
nervous.
Mom yelled, Grab those
wagons and the one over there
and put it in front of the trailer
fast! So me and Koiy grabbed
the wagons, and we sprinted
to the trailer, we were almost
there then it started raining
hard, well we thought it was
but it was not just raining, it
was hailing badly. Every kid
was crying for their moms and
me and Koiy were still trying
to get the wagons in the trailer.
Then my sister Brekyn came
up. We were all crying for help.
Then the wagons were heavy
and the hail was pounding on
our backs. We felt lots of pain.
Eventually we got the two wagons inside so we jumped inside
the trailer and then slammed
the door. Then we waited for
the hail to stop. It stopped, but
the door on the trailer was not
opening, so we called for help.
We did not have our phones at
the time so that was hard. We
also had bruises all over us.
Then we all slammed on the
door to open it so we ran into
the RV. The ground was horrible so when we were walking /
running. We were about to fall
because of all the slippery pieces of ice.
As soon as the storm stopped
they started the rodeo back up.
We decided we should go check
on the horses. I had that gut
feeling about Fly, my mare,
who is very spooky with certain things like storms. By the
time we got over there she was
laying down, which I didnt
think of anything. I tried to
get her up and she would not
get up so I put a halter on her,
but she was not getting up. My
sister came to help me and we
pulled and finally got her up
and started walking her. Then
she suddenly fell to the ground,
so I called for help. After a few,
my mom came over there and I
had her get dad. We finally got
her up and brought her to the
barn, she fell down again and
we tried many times to get her
up so we tried again and she
just would not get up when we
were trying to get her up. She
was not eating, so I had my dad
watch him while I went and ran
barrels.
Hours went by. The sky
got very dark again and the
wind was terrible, so I headed
to the barn. There were tornado sirens and people were
screaming for help. Help help
help! We had to put the horses
in the trailers, so everybody
was freaking out. I went over
to my horse and we found out
that she was colicking so we
gave her meds and that did
not work, and then everything
went downhill. She started falling asleep which we thought
was normal but it was not then
she died a few moments later.
At last it showed me that you
should always be prepared for
things even though they can
come unexpectedly, so always
be ready for anything. Life can
throw random things at you so
always be ready. The end.

My Adventure
Gracie Moyer
St. Rose – 5th Grade
Mrs. Rockers
HONORABLE MENTION
Hi! My name is Gracie.
My friends Audrey, Dani and
Shyla had a rocket building
contest and whoever wins got
to go up into space!
My sister Heidi was the
judge. I had asked my friend
Emily, who worked at NASA,
to see if the winner could go
up to space and she said yes. I
was determined to win because
going to space was my dream
and I had been studying about
space since I was a little girl.
I think I have a pretty good
chance of winning because
none of my friends have rocket building experience. I have
rocket building experience
because when I go to the fair
I enter a rocket I built. I have
built a lot of rockets for the
fair. Shyla has built one and
Audrey and Dani have built
none.
On Saturday we all met at
my house and I told the girls
we each had three hours to
build them. 3-2-1 start! Heidi
said. Me and Shyla went to
go and find wood and Audrey
and Dani just kind of sat there
messing with the tools trying
to figure out what you do with
them.
Audrey, Dani, I said start,
Heidi said.
What do we do?,
asked Audrey. Ugh Heidi
said. Just make something
up.
Me and Shyla ran to our
tables with stuff flying everywhere. I started with building
the engine and Shyla started
building on her body. Audrey
and Dani started grabbing random stuff and tried putting it
together. It didnt work very
well. They ran out of super glue
really fast. 1 hour later I was
done building my rocket. Shyla
was almost done. Audrey and
Dani were far from done thats
for sure. I went to go and spray
paint when Heidi said one and
a half hours left. Dani gave a
high-pitched scream.Dont do
that Dani you scared me, said
Audrey. Shyla is done building
her rocket and went to go spray
paint. 30 minutes later Audrey
and Dani were finally done.
I dont think you can put an
engine in it, whispered Shyla.
I dont think they know that
you have to put an engine in
it, I said to Shyla. We were
now all done building our
rockets and on to spray painting. Audrey and Dani clearly
couldnt spray paint. 5-4-3-2-1
hands off said Heidi.
We all took our hands off the
spray paint cans. Okay girls
were going to let them dry
overnight and well meet here
at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow to shoot
them off, I told them. Sunday I
was setting up the launch pad
when the girls showed up and
they were super excited to see
who would win. Whos excited?, I asked. Me!, yelled
the girls. Lets go and get our
rockets, I said.
We got to the shop and I said
Lets attach the altimeters to
our rockets.
Whats an altimeter?
Dani asked. Its a device that
you attach to your rocket and
it tracks how high your rocket
went into space, I said.
We finally got done attaching our altimeters and walked
over to the launcher. Who
wants to go first, I asked.
I will Audrey said. She put
her rocket on, which was very
difficult because she didnt
add two things that look like
a straw on the side to slide the
rocket on the launch pad. Go
over by the trees so you can
see where the rocket lands, I
told the girls. 3-2-1, the rocket
just sat there. Whats wrong?
Aubrey asked. Did you put
an engine in it? I asked. You
have to put an engine in it.
Audrey said duh.How is it
supposed to fly without one? I
said.
I dont know, I thought the
launcher just pushed it up.
Audrey said. Ill go put an
engine in it.
I need to put an engine in
mine too, Dani said. Twenty
minutes later the girls returned
with their rockets. Are you
ready now?, I asked. Yes,
said Dani.
Audrey go ahead and put
your rocket on the launch pad,
I said. 3-2-1 the rocket soared
through the air, it started falling, and it hit the ground hard.
Did you put a parachute on
it,? I asked? You have to put
a parachute on it too? Audrey
asked.
That way when it falls it
doesnt damage the rocket,
I said. We were done shooting off all the rockets. We all
ran to the shop to look at the
altimeters. We all show our
altimeters to each other on the
count of three, I said. 1 -2- 3,
we all yelled. Danis went 564
ft, Audreys went 668 ft, Shylas
went 736 ft, and mine went 823
ft.
I won! I said in disbelief.
Good job, Gracie, Audrey
said sadly. I felt so bad I knew
they wanted to go to space too.
I have to go and make a phone
call really quickly, I told the
girls.
Hey Emily, do you possibly
have three extra seats in the
rocket?, I asked. Yes, I actually have exactly three extra
seats, why?, she said.
Well I won the contest and
I feel bad for the girls. Do you
think they can come?
Ill have to check really
quickl, she said. Two minutes
later she said yes they can
come. Thank you so much no
problem bye.
I walked back to the shop
and said girls guess what you
guys are going to space with
me! No way, Shyla said.
How? Dani asked. No time
to explain, we have to get to
NASA right away for space
training, I told them.
We had to do two weeks of
space training. On May 3rd we
would go to space. When we got
there we were all excited and
nervous. We got into the rocket
and blasted into space.

Satellite Drop Off
Maddie Fitzwater
St. Rose – 5th Grade
Mrs. Rockers
HONORABLE MENTION
Ring ring ring! Im going
to be late. I hurridly ran to
my closet to grab my bag and
my clothes then I put on my
shoes and grabbed my keys
and ran out the door. Great,
now I have to go back and
turn off my alarm, I thought
to myself. I went back in
to turn off my alarm, then
I started down the road to
NASA.
I was going to get on a
space shuttle to drop off a
satellite and in Earths orbit.
When I got there I suited up
and helped load the food and
clothes and everything we
needed into the space shuttle.
Then we got to the launch
pad and sat there for hours.
Then the countdown started: 10, 9, 8, seven, six, five,
four, three, two, one, zero.
Blast off! We shot up in the
air and started for space. It
started to get hotter and hotter as we approached space.
When we were there we
were so hungry, so we ate
freeze dried food and took
a drink of water. Then we
did some testing on where we
should put the satellite. Then
we went to our lockers to get
our clothes, my locker had an
M on it. Then we got in our
cabins to go to sleep.
When we woke we ate some
food and checked out all the
equipment. Then we dropped
off the satellite. We decided
to stay in space a little longer
to make sure its working.
Millie Millie Millie, whos
calling my name, I thought?
It was the pilot who needed
help with a piece of machinery. We fixed it, then we ate
lunch. We decided to have
a dessert, a freeze dried ice
cream sandwich.
Then we checked the satellite. The next few days went
by quickly and before I knew
it we were on the ground. I
hopped off, got my car and
drove home and then took a
long nap.
Living in the Wild
Joshua Yoder
Central Plains School – 6th Grade

HONORABLE MENTION
One time long ago a family moved to the Rocky
Mountains. They lived in
Maine before that, so they
had very far travel. They
wanted to live like a pioneer.
They made a covered wagon
and started west.
They drove through prairies and large forests. They
made friends with the deer
and the bears on the way and
the bears kept safe from other
wild animals. When they got
to the mountains, the deer
and the bears were still with
them. They saw some moose
and beavers too and made
some friends with them. The
beaver cut the trees down for
them and the deer and the
moose carried the logs to the
place where the cabin was
going to be built and their
antlers and the bears helped
build the cabin. They had
to make their house there
though. They made their
hatchets wood and stone and
they had wooden forks and
spoons that they made. They
trained the moose and beaver to go get them firewood
when they rang a bell so they
had plenty of firewood. The
deer came when they whistled to take them to the berry
patch or to the pecan or walnut thickets on his back and
the bear caught fish for them
when they clapped. One day
they caught a chipmunk.
They trained it to get corn
out of the cornfield when they
needed corn. The bear kept
them supplied with honey.
They planted a big garden
every year and they kept
their seeds so they didnt
have to buy them every year.
They caught some monkeys
one day and they taught them
to help hold the cornfield in
the garden. The boys had a
very fun time because they
could go hunting for small
game with bows and arrows
that they made. They went
fishing with poles that they
made out of braided horse
hair and a willow pole. They
could almost go swimming
whenever they wanted to.
They had a very fun time
living in the mountains with
their animal friends.

last week, pulling away with a
late surge to win 57-42.
Santa Fe Trail led 15-8 after
the first quarter and 30-22 at
halftime.
The Bulldogs did cut into
their lead by outscoring SFT in
the third quarter 11-8 to cut the
deficit down to 38-33 heading
into the fourth.
It would be all the host team
in the final 8 minutes though
as Santa Fe Trail outscored the
AC girls 19-9.
Anderson County would
take a brief lead in the opening minutes but after that SFT
mostly seemed in control other
than a brief period late in the
third quarter.
Caitlyn Foltz led the girls
with 14 points and also added 4
assists.
Kylie Disbrow scored 11
points, had 9 rebounds and 8
blocks.
Chipping in with 9 points
and 9 rebounds was Rilyn
Sommer.
The only other scoring came
from Brylie Kohlmeier with 5
points and Brooklyn Kellerman
with 3.
Bulldogs rally in win over Burlington
BURLINGTON The Anderson
County Bulldogs were needing
a little momentum after backto-back losses and just may
have picked up a little after a
comeback win over Burlington
on the road last Thursday to
close out the regular season.
The AC girls trailed 14-9
after the first quarter and after
limiting Burlington to just 2
points in the second, they cut
the deficit down to 16-15 heading into halftime.
The defenses kept dominating play in the third quarter as
AC outscored Burlington 8-3 to
jump out on top 23-19.
The two teams would take
turns holding the lead the
remainder of the way but it
would be the Bulldogs that
would hold on for a 38-35 lead
despite being outscored 16-15 in
the fourth.
Kylie Disbrow closed out the
regular season with 20 points,
11 rebounds and 8 blocks.
Caitlyn Foltz and Rilyn
Sommer each scored 8 points.
Sommer also had 14 rebounds
to lead the Bulldogs.
Brylie Kohlmeier was the
only other Lady Bulldog to
score, ending the night with 2
points.

Crest girls toppled in opening round
COLONY It wasn't the end
to the season the Crest Lady
Lancers (14-6) had in mind as
their season comes to a screeching halt following a 37-30 loss
at home to Marmaton Valley
(14-6) on Friday in the opening
round of sub-state.
It was the rubber match
between the two teams as the
two teams squared off twice
during the regular season
with all games taking place on
Crest's home court. Marmaton
Valley knocked off Crest in
Colony back on January 19 by
the final score of 27-14 before
Crest returned the favor with a
40-33 victory on February 1.
The reality is that the
Lancers had a difficult draw in
their sub-state bracket as Crest
drew a #4 seed despite being 8
games above .500.
Other games in the Flinthills
sub-state were Olpe (16-4) clobbering Oswego (3-17) 95-16 and
Madison (15-5) cruising past
Yates Center (3-17) 62-21.

night.
The two teams had an earlier meeting back on December
19th, which was won by
Madison/Hamilton
51-42.
Madison/Hamilton had won
5 of their first 6 games after
downing Crest, but since then
they have dropped 10 of their 14
games including 7 of their last
8.
Crest has been playing bet-
ter as of late, winning 4 of their
