gram promises a great primer for families looking to step

menus.
The March 30 program will
be held at 7 p.m. at the Garnett
Community Building. Entitled
Backyard Poultry 101 the
event features Kansas State
University Extension Poultry
Specialist Dr. Scott Beyer,
who will discuss poultry
housing and management
issues, molting a flock, getting the most egg production, the best breeds for
production, vaccinations and health care
and setting up a biosecurity plan to deal with
the possibility of Avian
flu.
The
U.S.
Department
of
Agriculture says
Avian Flu is
responsible for
the thinning of the
national chicken
flock and the hike
in prices for both meat
and eggs from the birds.
The disease struck birds
in the U.S. throughout
2022 and was detected
in numerous counties
including Anderson in the
February and December 2022
some 43 million egg-laying
birds were lost to the sickness.
The impact as well as other
inflationary pressures in the
general economy drove egg
prices above $5 a dozen and
chicken meat to $4.32 a pound
in January, down slightly
from a high of around $4.75
last fall but up significantly
from the year before when
chicken breasts were selling
for $3.73 a pound.
High egg and chicken
prices at the store are increasing interest in growing your
own, said Frontier Extension
Agent Rod Schaub. Schaub
said though the agency hasnt
been inundated with interest
yet from prospective chicken
ranchers ready to take the
dive, existing chicken farmers
have been asking questions
about health issues, poor egg
production and Avian Flu
risk.
But interest from the public
seems to be warming in some
poultry-specific businesses.
Ray Beechy said interest in
chicken coops built and marketed by D&M Mini Barns
south of Garnett had been
increasing with the aggravation over higher egg pricSEE EGGS ON PAGE 5

Two children, one adult set to
testify in sex abuse incidents
alleged to have gone on for decade
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Subpoenas for two 12 year-old
girls and a 27 year-old woman were among
those issued earlier this month in order to
schedule testimony for a
March 3 preliminary hearing in the case of a Colony
man who investigators
allege sexually abused a
number of children at his
home over the period of
more than a decade.
Isidro Madrid, 79, was
arrested August 12 after
Madrid
a 12 year-old girl reported to a Childrens Mercy
Hospital social worker in July an incident
that occurred at Madrids home two days earlier at a family gathering.
The girl subsequently reported a string
of assaults on multiple occasions over the
past five years, and interviews with other
girls who frequented the home resulted in the
initial filing of 14 separate child sex charges
against Madrid dating back to 2009. Dates of
birth of the chidren ranged from 1995 to 2011.
A preliminary hearing is an initial review
of evidence and testimony in a criminal case,
with the objective of determining whether
sufficient evidence exists to justify a trial on
the charges.
Madrid is presently being held in the
Anderson County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bond.
If convicted he could serve a minimum sentence of 40 years to life in prison.

OLATHE Johnson County
officials are spending $4,648
on lapel pins and stickers for
employees to declare their
pronouns, according to emails
obtained by The Sentinel.
In response to a question by Johnson County
Commissioner
Charlotte
OHara, Johnson County
Director
of
Financial
Management
and
Administration
Brent
Christensen who describes
himself on his Linkedin page
as the chief financial steward for the County told
OHara the purchases were
made, with county dollars
earmarked for diversity after
feedback from most departments and agencies.
So at a cost of $4,648.23, the
county purchased 400 pins
with clutch backs, 400 more
with magnet backs and 400
stickers so that employees can
use proper pronouns.
This, Christensen said, was
in the name of combatting
discrimination.
Consistent with the
Countys obligation to provide
a workplace free from unlawful discrimination, as well as
the Boards policy to provide
a work environment in which
all persons are treated with

care such as prescribing estrogen or
testosterone to help a young person
transition their gender or conduct
surgeries to alter their genitals. It
could effectively stifle the treatments
in Kansas.
Republican Sen. Mark Steffen likened the procedures for children to
mutilation. And Republican Sen.
Mike Thompson argued the bill will
protect children from doctors who
put them on the path to a gender
transition that they may later regret.

GARNETT Officials say a private developer
has expressed interest in building additional
senior housing in the area of Garnetts Park
Plaza North and Parkside Place campus, adding a new dimension to ongoing discussions
about developments there and to the development of research to gauge market feasibility.
Mayor Jason Sheahan told the Review last
week a private developers inquiry into the
construction of additional housing units near
the citys existing senior living facilities had
been received and that initial meetings had
taken place with members of the Garnett
Housing Authority Board. Sheahan did not
name the private developer.
The inquiry follows weeks of discussions
about the possibility of new housing capacity
in the citys senior complexes, discussions
that prompted city commissioners in January
to press two new appointments for the citys
housing authority who commissioners
believed were more friendly toward the idea of
pursuing additional projects. Commissioners
have long discussed the need to offer additional local senior housing in hopes of making
homes owned by local seniors available to new
residents, and because of what they termed a
frequent waiting list of seniors particularly
for the citys subsidized senior housing units.

Bills would ban gender transformations for children,
take new shot at banning men from womens sports
BY DYLAN LYSEN
KANSAS NEWS SERVICE
TOPEKA The Republicandominated Kansas Legislature on
Thursday approved a group of bills
designed to protect childern against
health-threatening gender transformation measures and took a third
attempt at banning men from competing in womens sports at the high
school and college level.
The GOP-backed bills will likely
be vetoed by Democratic Gov. Laura
Kelly should they make it to her
desk. That would set up a political
fight to override her opposition later
in the session. In all three votes, the
lawmakers came close to but did
not not surpass the two-thirds
majority needed to override Kelly.
Two bills approved by the Senate
would ban doctors from providing
so-called gender-affirming care
to children and create the so-called
womens bill of rights that legally
defines a persons sex as the sex they
were assigned at birth. The senators
voted 26-11 and 26-10, respectively.
The bills now head to the House for
consideration.
Under the first bill, doctors could
lose their licenses and be subject
to lawsuits if they provide health

Housing Authority board members however have been reticent to engage action toward
new projects, saying they preferred to retire more of the
boards $500,000 in outstanding
debt on its present facilities
before looking to new construction. The board took no action
after repeated requests from
city commissioners to pursue
a feasibility study of an expansion project.
Members of the Anderson
County Development Agency,
the joint city/county economic development organization,
secured a $10,000 grant from
the Throckmorton-Riser foundation in December to pay for
a housing study of the local
area. ACDA Director Julie
Turnipseed said focus group
interviews for the study were
scheduled for mid-March, with
hopes for a report by the early
weeks of April.
Sheahan said though the
advent of a private developer
might hasten the pace of a project, no operational details had
yet been discussed.

employees may elect to wear
while working to ensure they
are identified by the proper

a standardized process of pronoun usage similar to the email
signature used by some today.
How the lapel pins and stickers are going to be distributed
is up in the air.
The pins and lapels are
not yet in use, as the process
to request them is still being
developed by Human Resources
and the VIBE Advisory Team,
Christensen said in the email.
The VIBE advisory team,

The future of this state is at
risk if we do not protect our

But Democratic senators
argued the bill goes against
medical science and would
harm children facing hardships because they feel a mismatch between their sex and
gender identity.
Senate Minority Leader
Dinah Sykes said children in
Kansas deserve the chance
to receive health care that
would help them survive
those hardships.
Lets stop attacking the
transgender community,
including their support systems, just because we dont

women are unfair and that
womens locker rooms need
protection. Republican Rep.
Barb Wasinger said allowing transgender women to
participate means womens
sports are being threatened.
For all the feminists in
this body, let me ask you,
Wasinger said, when did
it become politically correct to discriminate against
women?
Opponents said the bill
does not protect fairness
in sports, but amounts
to extremist and hateful
views on transgender people. Democratic Rep. Jerry
Stogsdill said the bill would
also be bad for the states
economy.
A lot of companies,
Stogsdill said, have policies
that would prevent them

Garnett, Kansas, passed away
on Monday, February 20,
2023, at the Anderson County
Hospital
in Garnett,
Kansas.
Jo
Ella
Benjamin
was born on
August 20,
1936, on the
family farm
near Birch
Phares
Switch (aka
Benjaminville) west of Garnett,
Kansas. She was the eighth of
eight children born to Dite and
Sarah Ella (Tilton) Benjamin.
Jo Ella loved growing up on
the farm and enjoyed sharing
stories about the dairy farm,
although she did not drink
milk. Jo Ella graduated from
Garnett High School in 1954. On
September 17, 1955, Jo Ella was
united in marriage to her high
school sweetheart Paul Eugene
Phares in Garnett, Kansas.
They were blessed with five
children, Paula, Cheryl, Vicki,
Rodney and Marcia. Paul and
Jo Ella were lifelong residents
of Garnett, living in their
home on third street for over

K-State releases reports from 2022
Kansas Crop Performance Tests
By Pat Melgares, K-State
Research and Extension news
service
MANHATTAN, Kan. Each
year, Kansas State University
tests the performance of the
major crops grown in the state
to provide unbiased, agronomic information to producers,
extensional workers and seed
industry personnel.
In 2022, Mother Nature had
her own plans.
The universitys 2022 tests
for four major crops corn,
sorghum, soybeans and sunflowers — were hindered by
drought across most of the
state. And when dry conditions
werent the nemesis, untimely
weather events such as hail
that wiped out all but one of
the sunflower trials played a
part, too.
It was a rough year for
our crop trials, said Jane
Lingenfelser, a K-State assistant agronomist who manages
the universitys crop performance tests each year. 2022
was categorized as the worst
weather year that Kansas has
seen in nearly a decade, and
the western half of the state
was the hardest hit.
This was the driest growing season in Garden City in
about 130 years of record keeping, according to the Kansas
Mesonet, with less than five
inches of precipitation recorded by the end of September.
In other areas of the state, the
period of June through August
was the driest on record for
southeast Kansas, and the
second driest for southcentral
Kansas.
In addition to drought, temperatures routinely hovered
around 90 degrees Fahrenheit
or higher. Dodge City and
Wichita recorded the fourth
warmest year on record;
Ashland recorded 112 days of
90-degree-plus temperatures,
and 43 that topped 100.
In
eastern
Kansas,
Lingenfelser said many areas
went from being drought-free,
to severe drought over a threemonth period.
There is no part of Kansas
that was affected by drought
and heat this past year, she
said. Even our irrigated fields
werent immune to the effects
of drought stress, particularly with numerous days over
100 degrees, and even though
there have been tremendous
advancements to drought
response in commercial
hybrids and varieties.
But at the end of the day,
these (crops) are living organisms that require a base level
of inputs in order to survive,
and that 4.8 inches of precipitation in Garden City was not
(a base level). So, as a result,
numerous testing locations
failed in 2022 and are not part
of this years reports on crop
performance.
Detailed results of the 2022
Kansas Crop Performance
Tests are available online for
each major crop grown in the
state including yields and top
performing varieties by region.
Copies of individual reports
can also be viewed online or
purchased from the K-State
Research and Extension bookstore, or information is available at local extension offices
in Kansas.
Lingenfelser said the Dodge
City-based newspaper, High
Plains Journal, will be providing copies of the Kansas Crop
Performance Tests as inserts
in future editions.
I would encourage everybody to seek out all the sources
and years of data they can find
when considering varieties
to grow in 2023, Lingenfelser
said. Keep in mind that all of
the production factors in 2022
are weather-related and were
beyond our control. Its very
important to find the products
that fit your management and
production practices.

Why Dems fear release of Jan. 6 tapes
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy s decision
to hand over security footage from the Jan. 6
Capitol riot to Fox News host Tucker Carlson
has Democrats up in arms.
For two years, Democrats, citing security
concerns, have managed to withhold this
critical footage from the public, likely fearing
it would contradict their carefully constructed
narrative that the riot had been an insurrection and terrorist attack.
Democrats are especially peeved with
whom McCarthy chose to provide the material
to. They consider it an attempt to curry favor
with Carlson, who has been openly critical
of the GOP leader in the past. And while that
may very well be true, theres no question
that Democrats main problem with Carlson
is that he has repeatedly questioned the decisions, actions, and motives of the Department
of Justice, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA), Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser,
and the House Jan. 6 committee.
Specifically, hes asked why Pelosi and
Bowser declined then-President Donald
Trumps offer of National Guard troops to
protect the Capitol building after intelligence
reports warned of the potential for violence.
He has also publicly speculated about the role
played by protester Ray Epps, who appeared
to be a ringleader during the riot. Carlson has
questioned his possible links to the FBI and
why he was never prosecuted.
Congenital liar and member of the Jan. 6
committee Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) was outraged by McCarthys decision. In a Monday
Twitter post, he wrote , Kevin McCarthy
turned over Jan 6 videos to right-wing propagandist Tucker Carlson. A man who spews
Kremlin talking points. Suggests Jan 6 was a
false flag. And spreads the Big Lie. Make no
mistake: This isnt about transparency, its
about fueling dangerous conspiracy theories.
This is coming from the man who spent
three years trying to convince the public that
Trump was a Russian agent. He never missed
an opportunity to assure anyone who would
listen that evidence of Trumps collusion with
Russia was hiding in plain sight.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
(D-NY) was equally horrified over McCarthys
move.
In a Wednesday letter to his colleagues,
Schumer wrote, The speaker is needlessly exposing the Capitol complex to one of
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
ELIZABETH STAUFFER, WASHINGTON EXAMINER
the worst security risks since 9/11. The footage
Speaker McCarthy is making available to Fox
News is a treasure trove of closely held information about how the Capitol complex is protected
and its public release would compromise the
safety of the Legislative Branch and allow those
who want to commit another attack to learn how
Congress is safeguarded.
He wrote that McCarthy only agreed to release
the tapes to get the votes he needed from the
MAGA wing of the House Republican Conference
to become speaker. That also may be true, but
McCarthys motives are irrelevant. What is relevant is that Republicans finally have a chance to
launch their own investigation into the Capitol
riot.
Schumer is certain that Carlson will select
only clips that he can use to twist the facts to sow
doubt of what happened on January 6 and feed
into the propaganda.
But isnt that precisely what the Jan. 6 congressional committee did?
The Washington Post published an article
titled, Letting Tucker Carlson cherry-pick Jan.
6 footage is a very, very bad idea. Was it a
good idea to appoint a committee composed of
seven Democrats plus the two Republicans in
Congress who hated Trump the most? Members
had reached their conclusion before the investigation had even begun.
Indeed, Democrats were never interested in a
thorough investigation of the events on Jan. 6.
The actions of the partisan Jan. 6 congressional
committee made that much clear. Starting with
Pelosis decision to boot Republican Reps. Jim

Flat tax could help stop Kansas depopulation
The year 2022 was yet another that marked
more Kansans leaving the state than new residents moving in.
In the Allied Van Lines 2022 US Migration
Report for 2022, only 45.4% of customers using
Allied in Kansas were inbound while 54.6% of
customers were outbound.
A multitude of factors are certainly at
play but one of these is the Sunflower States
decades of economic malaise. This continues
a trend of outbound moves seen in previous years from Allied and from the Census
Bureau.
As recorded in our upcoming 2023 Green
Book, Since 2000, Kansas has lost 192,918 residents from domestic migration the 39th
worst state for migration in the country.
Every household has a different reason
why they would move to a new state, so trying
to attribute one issue as the biggest push or
pull factor is difficult. However, the Allied
Migration Report suggests that cost-of-living
and job opportunities were two of the biggest
factors.
For instance, despite growing its GDP by
8%, California lost residents via migration.
The report cites a 0.6% decrease in wages and
a high cost of living as reasons. By contrast,
Texass GDP and wages grew by 6.4% and
their cost of living was low. That combination
contributes to its status as the top state for
inbound migration.
From the 2023 Green Book again from 1998
to 2021, Kansas ranked 37th in the country for
KANSAS COMMENTARY
GANON EVANS, KANSAS POLICY INSTITUTE
wage growth. Over that same time period,
Kansass total private sector jobs as recorded
by the Bureau of Economic Analysis grew by
13.2%, ranking 44th in the country while other
states like Texas and Florida grew by 65.8%
and 66.8% respectively.
Kansas taxes also create cost-of-living burdens for current and new residents. The combined state and average local tax rates are the
9th highest in the country. Kansas has the
highest tax rates on mature businesses in the
country, limiting the long-term gains of small
business growth.
Other states in the Midwest are pursuing
economic reforms to bolster their economy
and attract new business to the state and
Kansas needs to do the same to stay competitive.
Kansas highest marginal personal income
tax rate is 5.70%, ranking 24th in the country.
Last year, Missouri brought its top rate down
from 5.2 to 4.95%; Iowa enacted a plan to
gradually reduce its bracketed system with a
top rate of 6.0% down to a flat tax of 3.9%, and
Colorado recently went down to a flat rate of
4.40%.
Enacting a flat tax, like the 4.75 percent uniform tax bill passed out of the Kansas Senate
last week, would match successful reforms
over the last five years across the country, and
would put Kansas on the literal and figurative
map when it comes to growth. That bill is now
set for consideration in the Kansas House in
the remainder of this session.
The toll paid by families for 40 years of economic stagnation will not be overturned with
any single policy.
People have been leaving Kansas for years
as a result. But, things like letting Kansans
keep more of their wages is a first step to
encouraging people to stay in Kansas and
encouraging new folks to call our state home.

For some, Nikki Haley isnt Indian American enough
Only in 21st-century America can you call
yourself the proud daughter of Indian immigrants and get accused of whitewashing your
background.
For the left, the verdict is in and has been
for a long time — Nikki Haley is not Indian
American enough.
The offenses of the former South Carolina
governor are myriad, from using an easily pronounceable name to converting to
Christianity, to once checking white on a
voter registration card, to touting the value
of hard work in getting ahead, to defending
America against charges of racism.
This has subjected her to ignorant, highly
personal, racially charged attacks.
The NAACP activist (and pastor!) Talbert
Swan tweeted that she said say her real
name and asked if shes too afraid of white
folks to do it.
This is long-running criticism. When Haley
came on an episode of The View last year,
Sunny Hostin asked derisively, What is her
real name again? Hostin, whose given name
is Asuncion, called her a chameleon and
remarked that it might be different if she
leaned into being someone of color.
This is dumb and ill-informed. As a USA
Today fact-check noted, Haleys name at birth
was Nimrata Nikki Randhawa. Rather than
being a westernization, Nikki is a common
nickname in Punjab, where her parents are
from. She used the name Nikki since she was
young, and then took the last name of her
husband Michael Haley, in what is still the
common practice in the U.S.
All that aside, the Hostin critique gets to the
bottom of the real indictment of Haley from
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
the race obsessives — shes not obsessed with
race enough. Or, as South Asian American
experts cited by NBC News put it, she has
an on-and-off relationship with their Indian
identity.
What does on-and-off mean except that,
while expressing pride in her background,
she doesnt let it wholly define her? In what
world is this not a healthy, well-adjusted attitude?
Was her announcement video, which did
acknowledge the difficulties of growing up as
an Indian American in the South Carolina of
that time, supposed to be a screed about all the
terrible things that have been done to her by
the country her parents chose to come to?
The answer for her woke critics is basically yes. Again and again, critiques of
Haley mention that shes perpetuating the
model minority myth, by which they mean
she extols up-from-the-bootstraps hard work
instead of painting a picture of immigrant
futility in a fundamentally racist country.
The other charges against Haley are as
meritless. She reportedly checked white on
a voter registration card more than 20 years
ago. Apparently, the card only offered the
options of white, Black/African American,
Asian, Hispanic, Native American or other.
These categories, an unavoidable aspect of
American life, are insanely reductive and
imprecise. Asian is often taken to mean East
Asian, not South Asian, and if Haley didnt
want to otherize herself, she might have
checked white as one of a number of not-accurate options.
Regardless, whats the allegation here?
That she thought no one would find out about
her Indian heritage if she checked a certain
box on a card no one knew about?
Haley also converted to Christianity, which
she has explained thoughtfully and sensitively. Its a feature of Christianity, not a bug, that
it is open to all, from every nation and every
background. And shes not the first person to
convert to Methodism.
At the end of the day, the left is willing only
to accept the legitimacy of minorities who
toe the party line and are adherents of the
worst sort of identity politics and of The 1619
Project version of America.
This is why Justice Clarence Thomas is
never considered truly Black and why it
doesnt matter how often Haley says she is
proud of her heritage. Shell still be assailed
as a false Indian American working to support
white supremacy.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
Mr. Hicks, do you remember what George
Orwell said? True journalism is printing what
someone else does not want printed; everything
else is public relations.
Youve got to be kidding me. The Blacks want
reparations? Is it because they dont want to
work for a living? With their yearly criminal
activity and rampages which cost the country
billions of dollars they should be paying reparations, not receiving them. Case closed.
Its getting close to fishing time at the lakes in
Garnett and I was just wondering how much
trouble or cost it would be to put some benches
in some places around the edges of our lakes to
fish from so you didnt have to always remember to bring your lawn chair? Might be a good
Boy Scout program. Thank you.

Higher prices for eggs and
chicken have to be balanced
against the cost of setting up
your own home chicken operation, of course. Chicks typically cost from three or four
dollars apiece to as much as
$30 depending on the breed.
Prebuilt, turnkey coops can
sell for several hundred up
to several thousand dollars
depending on their size and
accessories. The Pampered
Chicken Mama website estimates the cost of feeding chickens at about 15 per chicken
per day with a 16 percent layer
feed, or about $30 a month for a
flock of five chickens.
With numbers like those its
clear raising your own chickens is likely more expensive
that just paying extra for eggs.
Pampered Chicken Mama says
those costs can be brought
more into line if you sell live
birds or chicks or eggs. If you
sell ungraded eggs to end consumers and have less than
50 hens, theres no licensing
required in Kansas.
Depending on the breed, diet
and time of year chickens will
lay an egg 4-5 times a week.

HISTORY
They take about 6 months to
mature from baby chicks to
laying hens. Egg production
typically slacks off in the winter unless the coop is set up
with several hours a day of
artificial light.
A number of sources exist
for backyard coops, either prebuilt or construction plans for
DIYers. Prospective chicken
ranchers should check their
local city ordinances for regulations. Garnett City Manager
Travis Wilson said Garnett
allows backyard coops as long
as chickens arent allowed to
run loose and trespass on other
properties.

The Anderson County
Commission met on Monday
to discuss updating the telephone system with the United
Telephone
Representative
Michelle A. Nichols.
The
courthouse needs an updated telephone system, and the
county commissioners are in
the process of getting ideas of
what systems are on the market, pricing, and the companies presenting them. Unlike
the PBX system offered by
many companies, the Advance
Business Connection program
provides many options without the additional costs of a
telephone box being purchased
and installed in the courthouse. The commission also
indicated a new committeewould need to be organized to
direct the course of developing an enhanced 911 system
in response to recent inquiries by residents in the western part of Anderson County.
Projects like the numbering
and naming of roads, equipment purchases, and completing the paperwork with the
phone company will need to
be finished before the county can look into implementing
enhanced 911 programs.

Jordan (OH) and Jim Banks (IN)
from the committee, the investigation that ensued was nothing more than a highly partisan
witch hunt designed to prevent
Trump from running for public
office again. Several Democrats
on the committee even admitted
as much.
Axios reported that members
of Carlsons team have already
begun sifting through the thousands of hours of video. Asked
for a comment on the story,
Carlson said , There was never
any legitimate reason for this
footage to remain secret. If there
was ever a question thats in
the publics interest to know,
its what actually happened on
Jan. 6. By definition, this video
will reveal it. Its impossible for
me to understand why any honest person would be bothered by
that.
American Greatness reporter Julie Kelly has followed this
story closely. She has written
extensively about the Justice
Departments obsessive and
eagle-like scrutiny of people
determined to have set foot anywhere near the Capitol building
that day and the agencys determination to prosecute people at
any level.
What can we expect to learn
from the new footage? Kelly
wrote, The secret video could
finally show the use of undercover agents and informants
both instauffer clip.jpgside and
outside the Capitol as well as
those responsible for erecting
the gallows on Capitol grounds.
Footage will also shed light on
how photographers and videographers were stationed in
key locations before the breach
occurred.
At any rate, according to
Axios, clips from the trove of
surveillance camera footage
could begin airing as soon as
next week. Fasten your seat
belts.

2023 book
discussion
Garnett Public Librarys
book discussion for March
22nd at 7pm, is titled, Killers
of the Flower Moon, The Osage
Murders and the Birth of the
FBI by David Grann.
In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were
members of the Osage Indian
nation in Oklahoma. After oil
was discovered beneath their
land, they rode in chauffeured
automobiles, built mansions,
and sent their children to study
in Europe. Then, one by one,
the Osage began to be killed
off. As the death toll climbed to
more than twenty-four, the FBI
took up the case. It was one of
the organizations first major
homicide investigations and
the bureau badly bungled the
case. In desperation, the young
director, J. Edgar Hoover,
turned to a former Texas
Ranger named Tom White to
unravel the mystery, (https://
www.davidgrann.com/book/
killers-of-the-flower-moon/).
In Killers of the Flower
Moon, David Grann revisits a
shocking series of crimes in
which dozens of people were
murdered in cold blood. Based
on years of research and startling new evidence, the book
is a masterpiece of narrative
nonfiction, as each step in
the investigation reveals a
series of sinister secrets and
reversals,
(https://www.
davidgrann.com/book/killersof-the-flower-moon/). This popular book has been recently
adapted into film which will
be tentatively released at the
Cannes Film Festival in May
of 2023. Discussion will be held
March 22nd at 7pm. The books
are available for checkout at
the library. Please join us and

Grasshoppers so big that
cowboys can ride them to herd
cattle. Summers so hot that
corn pops in the field. Rancher
Henry Mudge wrecking pianos, shooting sheep, and fooling European dignitaries.
Kansas is a place of big skies
and tall tales, and big exaggerated narratives like these help
us understand the character
of our state and its people.
This talk will explore some
of Kansass most outlandish
legends and folktales and help
audiences decipher between
a myth (folk religion), legend
(folk history), and tale (folk
literature).
Jim Hoy is a professor of
English and folklorist who
works with the Center for
the Great Plains Studies at
Emporia State University. He
has lectured internationally
on the folk life of ranching
and is the co-author of Plains
Folk, a syndicated newspaper

will host The Civil War in
Kansas, a presentation and
discussion by Will Haynes on
Saturday, March 04, 2023 at
10:30 am at the Garnett Public
Library, 125 W 4th Ave, in the
Asher Room on the West side
of the library.
Members of
the community are invited
to attend the free program.
Contact Donna J. Roberts, 913271-4230 – email: droberts398@
gmail.com for more information. The program is made possible by Humanities Kansas.
For Kansans, the violent
guerrilla warfare between proslavery and antislavery forces
known as Bleeding Kansas foreshadowed the national Civil
War to come. From 1861-65, the
border struggle continued to
heat up as Kansans fended off
Confederate attacks, accepted
the formerly enslaved into their
communities, and engaged in
bitter political debates. Men of
all backgroundswhite, black,
and Native Americanserved
in uniform, while women managed farmsteads and formed
societies to help the needy.
This talk presents the story of
Kansas during the Civil War
and how it helped shape the
states image for years afterward.
Will is the director of
engagement and learning for
Watkins Museum of History
in Lawrence, Kansas. He
earned a PhD in history from
the University of Kansas and
has contributed to public history projects involving the
New York Times, the Truman
Library Institute, and the
Kansas City Public Library.
The Civil War in Kansas
is part of Humanities Kansas's
Speakers Bureau and 21st
Century Civics, a collection of
resources that invite Kansans
to participate in community
discussions and learn more
about the history of American
democracy and the shared
responsibilities of citizenship.
21st Century Civics is made
possible with support from A
More Perfect Union: America
at 250, an initiative of the
National Endowment for the
Humanities.
Support for The Civil War
in Kansas has been provided by the Freedoms Frontier
National Heritage Area.

The Scarecrow in my house
Breck Watson
Central Heights 5th Grade
Mrs. Riemer FIRST PLACE
A man named Duscron is a
man who loves the country and
owns a vast farm. He has the
biggest farm in the southwest
and earns the most money in
the entire town of Thary. One
day he was walking through
the town of Thary, he met a guy
who was talking to a customer
trying to sell a scarecrow.
"Hey," said Duscron.
"What?" The guy stopped
talking to say something to
Duscron.
"I might be interested in
that scarecrow of yours," said
Duscron. The man immediately quit talking to the customer
and came over to him. "Let
us make a deal then," said the
man with a slight giggle.
"Okay but there's no catch,
right?" said Duscron. He felt
like the man was very suspicious acting when he tried to
sell it to him.
"Oh there's no catch, but you
may want to watch it," said the
man.
Duscron had hesitated to
buy the Scarecrow, but he realized it could keep the crows
away from one of his fields.
He then completely forgot what
the man had said.
"Okay, I'll buy it," said
Duscron. "Name your price."
"How about 30 cents," said
the man.
"You got yourself a deal,"
said Duscron.
As Duscron headed home
he heard a voice say, "there
be scare where he goes." The
voice repeated it over 10 times.
Duscron had heard the voice
but ignored the warning as he
thought it was just in his head.
Duscron had made it home,
took the Scarecrow and placed
it on the ground. He felt relief
and reached down to pick up
the Scarecrow. As he reached
down all he felt was dirt.
"Hey, it was right here,"
said Duscron with surprise. He
looked back and the Scarecrow
was on the ground about two
more feet back.
The Haunted Mansion
Danielle Rockers
St. Rose 4th Grade
Mrs Foltz FIRST PLACE
It was a dark stormy night
when Rachel was sleeping and
she heard the door open. There
was a green zombie with a
ripped shirt and brown boots
that were really nice. He had
a car and he had diamonds
in a duffel bag. The next day
Rachel saw the zombie again
and he was wearing the same
thing as last night. The next
day Rachel followed the zombie
to a mansion and she snuck
into the back door and saw
another zombie. It was a girl
who was wearing a pink puffy
jacket with a white shirt and
black high heels with pink lipstick and jeans. There were
two baby zombies that were
twins and they were wearing
black onesies. The mom zombie was feeding the twins and
then they threw up. The dad
zombie went to get a towel to
clean up the puke and slipped
on the puke. Rachel saw him
slip on the puke and started
to laugh and she got caught by
the mom zombie. Rachel was
so scared that she screamed
and the mom zombie took her
inside and the dad zombie said
I know that girl her name is
Rachel. Rachel was speechless and then she said yes my
name is Rachel, you are right
but the only reason I came here
is because you broke into my
house last night with a duffel
bag full of diamonds. I was so
scared that I almost called the
cops but I told myself no and I
called my friend, and told her
all about you and she said she
wanted to see you. She also
wants to see your house and I
told her it was probably haunted. I always like to read haunted stories and they almost
always end up the same so it
is always boring. The zombie dad realized I wasnt there
to harm them. They invited
me to bring my friend Audrey
over the next day. The next day
Audrey came to my house and I
took her to the haunted manSEE MANSION ON PAGE 10

"Wow, I feel dumb," said
Duscron.
He got the Scarecrow and
put him in his closest field.
He walked away to do some
corn picking. He began to pick
some corn, then he heard the
voice again.
"There be scare where he
goes."
Now Duscron is becoming
scared. "There be scare where
he goes."
Duscron started hyperventilating. He fell to his back. His
heart going a million miles an
hour. Then there was silence.
After he finally calmed down,
he crawled to his feet and
thought this was very weird.
He went back to picking corn
and finished the field. As he
walked back to his house, in
the corner of his eye he noticed
the Scarecrow was missing.
He panicked trying to find
the Scarecrow. He looked
around the entire farm, not
finding a single trace of the
Scarecrow. He eventually gave
up and headed back to his
house. He was walking back
My
New
Sister
to his home and looked at the
field where the Scarecrow
should have been.
"Wow," said Duscron in
huge disbelief. The Scarecrow
was back in the field. Duscron
was now debating whether he
should have listened to the
voice or not. He immediately
decided he should get rid of
the Scarecrow. He grabbed the
Scarecrow and ran to the store,
but as soon as he got out of his
driveway…
He woke up in his bed.
He shot up to the edge of his
bed and looked around. "How?
Doesn't make any sense!," said
Duscron in horrified confusion. He got out of his bed and
took deep breaths to calm himself.
Okay, this can't be real, right?
I'm out of my mind." Nothing
makes sense.
Duson looked out the window. The Scarecrow was there.
Duscron started to worry about
his safety. He went downstairs
to make breakfast. He made
some eggs, ham and toast. He
finished his breakfast and
headed out for a long day of
work on his farm. He picked
the beans and washed the potatoes.
" Ah, the fresh air," said
Duscron. He had completely
forgotten about the dream he
had.
As it was nearing dusk
Duscron headed back to his
house. He could barely see
anything, but he thought he
noticed a figure standing in his
field. He thought nothing of it
and stepped in the front door
of his house and took his boots
and coat off.
"Man, I'm pretty tired," said
Duscron with a big yawn. He
went upstairs and lay in his
bed. He closed his eyes and fell
asleep.
He was awakened by a big
bang. It was his bedroom door.
He reached over to his lamp and
flipped the switch on. There
stood a tall figure with no legs,
no face, only a shirt with hay
coming out of all of the shirt's
openings. The dream shot into
Duscron's brain like a bullet.
He remembered it all. About
the weird voice. The Scarecrow
randomly moving. Most of all
the time he was seemingly
transported to his bed.
He froze in terror. He felt
his legs tingle, then hurt. After
that, his legs felt like nothing.
Like his nerves just shut off.
He looked at the Scarecrow.
His legs were on it.
He screamed in terror and
tried to run away. He flipped
the covers off himself. All
he saw was a big long wood
plank where his legs should
have been. He felt the same
tingle sensation in his arms.
He began to panic. His arms
hurt, then, nothing. He knew
they had been replaced too. He
looked back at the Scarecrow.
It now had his arms.
He screamed for help trying
to get someone's attention. He
heard the voice but it was louder, bolder.
"There be scare where he
goes."
Duscron felt a tingle in his
torso then pain, then nothing.
The same with his face, a tingle, then pain, then nothing.

The girl and the wild Mustang The crazy
Christmas night
Sutton Crouch,
Central Heights 5th grade,
Mrs. Riemer SECOND PLACE
To the mountains, to the
meadows, there is the wild
horse that roams wild and free.
Back when people trained horses like we do today, they also
thought that the Wild Mustang
was untamable. Some people
still think that today.
In the desert there was a rock
house and in the house there
lived a family. The mom was
Cora, dad was Jim, and they
had two daughters. Laura did
not like animals or any
outdoor activities, but on
the other hand
there
was
Sarah.
She
loved animals
and the outdoors.
Sarah loved
to go to her
grandpa's
house because they would sing
songs, and ride on the back of
a carriage with a horse pulling
it. Her Grandpa said that he
used to own a lot of horses.
But Sarah never knew what
happened to them. So one day
she decided to ask him. He said,
"I had these friends who were
jealous because I had a lot of
horses. So one day they burned
down all my crops. I only had
a garden left, that was only
enough to feed one horse. So
one day I had to let go of all my
horses and just had to hope for
the best."
"Well, you better head home
before your parents get worried about you," Grandpa said.
Sarah decided instead of
going home she would go for
a walk. On her walk she could
see something, but the closer
she got the farther away it got.
She screamed "wait, wait!"
After a while Sarah got tired
of trying to catch a glimpse
of whatever it was, and she
flipped over some rocks and
found some water. A few sec-
onds later she saw a black
horse. Apparently it wanted a
drink because it came over and
took a drink.
Sarah decided to head to
her grandpa's and the horse
followed her halfway to her
grandpa's house. When she got
inside her Grandpa said where
have you been I've been worried. Parents called and asked
where you were?
"Well I seen the most beautiful horse and it even followed
me halfway home grandpa,"
Sarah said.
"I think the heat was mess-
going to put him.
"Well, I have a shed at my
house," Luke said. "We can put
him in there.
That will work," Luke said.
"We are also going to have to
break him to lead."
After breaking him to lead
Luke said, "Now we can put
him in the shed for tonight. I
have some carrots I can give
him."
"Okay," Sarah said, "and
thanks for helping me, Luke"
"Yeah," Luke said. "And I'm
also not done helping yet."

"We could win and get all of

"Are you sure?" Luke said.
"Well, it's worth a try," Sarah
said.
The next day Sarah was
at Luke's house. Luke said to
train him to put a saddle on and
do some groundwork on him.
"So you know how to train a
horse?," Sarah asked.
"Yes," Luke said, "I helped

After 2 days of training Luke
said he was now ready to ride.
"I'm just going to hop on. Is
he ready to be ridden?," Sarah
asked.
"Yes, I'm sure," said Luke.
"So do I just ride around?,"

"You better head home

"But…"
"No butts. I'm not going to
argue with you about this,
Sarah."
Sarah headed home. Well,
since Grandpa doesn't believe

After getting to Luke's house
Luke said, "what are you doing
here Sarah?"
Sarah said "Well, I seen a

"Where did you see it." Luke
asked.
"Well I'll show you. Come

race. Grandpa is also going to
be there but he doesn't know
we're going to enter. He will be
surprised."
At the race Sarah asked
"Who's that guy over there?"
"That's one of the guys in
the race," Luke said. "It's also
the guy that burned out all of
Grandpa's crops."
Sarah walked over to him.
"You are the guy that burnt
down all my grandpa Terry's
crops," Sarah said.
"Hey. I'm Pablo," the man
said. "I remember him. His
horses are mine. Found them
in the desert roaming wild and
free."
"Well, I'll make a bet with
you," Sarah said. "Whoever
wins the race gets the prize and
all the horses, including your
horses, and if you win I'll give
you my horse here."
"I bet I can beat you in a
flash," Pablo said. "May the
best person win. Which will be
me."
"We will see about that,"
Sarah said.
The race was about to start
in 3-2-1- GO!
"Come on boy we can do
this," Sarah said, whistling and
kicking.
When they were about to the
finish line, Sarah and Pablo
were tied neck and neck. Sarah
crossed the finish line first and
the crowd went wild.
Grandpa was in the front
clapping and screaming.
"We did it!," said Sarah.
"No no no," said Pablo.
After they got all the horses
to Grandpa's house, Grandpa
said "Now we have the horses
and the money."
"Yeah we also need a name
for him," said Sarah. "How does
the name DashCash sound?"
"I think that sounds perfect,"
said Luke.

One cold Christmas night,
the children were playing and
decided to make a snowman.
The children found a glowing
hat in the snow. They built the
Snowman and put the glowing hat on it. They named him
Frosty the Snowman. Then in
the middle of the night, they
heard some footsteps on the
roof. It was him, the one and
only, Santa Claus! The children
immediately went outside to
see him. The children were all
over the place because they
were excited. Unitl one of the
children had the best idea ever.
He went up to Santa and said,
do you to want see our snowman that we made? Santa said
of course. So they went over
there and frosty was missing!
All of the children were confused. So everybody got into
Santa's sleigh. Everybody was
looking for Frosty. They were
so confused. He was a snowman. How could he be gone?
Until Santa said, I lost my reindeer's hat yesterday while I
was trying to see who had to
change from the nice list to the
naughty list or vice versa. And
my reindeer are magical. Then
the children remembered that
they found a hat in the snow.
That was it. We put the hat
on our snowman. Santa said
that was definitely it. But Santa
said there were Jingle Bells on
that hat. If we were quiet and
we listened we could hear him.
At that time it had been 2 hours
and we still couldn't find him,
until the reindeers went out
of control. Then we crashed
but when we got all cleaned
off the children spotted him.
Everybody was so excited and
exhausted. So they all hit the
hay accept Santa because he
had to give presents to the people in Candyland. In the morning I was very excited because
it was Christmas! Of course
because they found Frosty too.
The children invited Santa and
the whole Candyland. They had
a Christmas party. And they
all were eating gingerbread
cookies except the gingerbread
man and the gingerbread girl
because who knows it might
have just been their brother
or sister. Then Santa had to
go back to the Candy Pole.
Everyone went to sleep and
they were all missing Santa.

Once upon a time there
was a 12-year-old boy named
James. His Parents were looking for a Christmas tree for
Christmas because they didn't
have one yet. Then when they
were driving on the roads of
Ohio, they stumbled across a
Christmas tree sale. The sign
said Christmas trees $30 for
small ones, $50 for medium size
ones, and $75 for big ones.
Then when they went over
by where you walked in James
got hissed at by something
suspicious. He jumped a bit.
He said "Mom Dad did you
hear that hissing noise?" Then
his mom and dad said "no it
was probably just the wind."
So they went in and bought a
medium sized tree for $50.
When they got home they
put lights on it. James heard
a noise. It sounded like a hiss.
James went to his mom and
said "Mom our Christmas tree

out of the tree then it stopped
gobbling for awhile.
All of a sudden I thought I saw
something move through the
weeds. I looked a little harder
then I saw that it was the turkeys head. He was about 20
yards away when I shot. I was
using a 20 gauge shotgun with
6# shot. As soon as I shot he
started running as fast as he
could. My dad said that if they
run away you probably wont
see them again but we decided
to look anyhow.
We went out into the field
and looked around until we
found some blood. We followed
the blood until we came to
the woods then my dad said I
should go first in case we saw
him again. We had just started in when I saw him he was
dead. We took him home and
butchered him. He had a 10

mom said "you're just hearing
things." So James went to bed.
The next morning James realized that one of the ornaments
fell off and broke.
James was awake before
his mom and dad. So James
went to them and showed it
to them. James mom and dad
knew James would never do
that. So then they got a little
suspicious of their tree. Then
they looked closer at the tree.
James saw an eye, but his
mom and dad didn't see anything. James said "don't you
see an eye right in the middle
of the tree?" James mom said
"I don't see anything James."
And James dad said "I agree
with your mother, I don't see
anything either."
So James just agreed with
them and went to eat breakfast. After breakfast he went
to sit in the living room to
watch TV. He kept seeing the
tree move but he just ignored
it. The afternoon came around
and it finally stopped shaking.
They decided to go to a fancy
Steakhouse up in Waynesville.
They went to eat then they got
back around 9:30 p.m. but when
they got back their Christmas
tree was on the ground. James
said "well that's strange." Mom
and dad said "yeah that is a
little strange." Then they smelt
this bad odor. James said
"Pew-wee what is that terrible
smell?" Then James' mom and
dad said "yeah I smell that too."
So they just put the tree back
up, but the odor was still there.
They just thought it was a
skunk outside so they went to

the hiss sound. James and his
dad looked everywhere for the
bad smelling odor, but couldn't
find it. They went Christmas
shopping, but when they got
back there was a snake on the
ground.
James said "there's a snake
on
the ground." Mom
said "well my, my there is a
baby snake on the ground."
The snake kept hissing at
James. He said "that's the same
hiss noise I heard coming from
the tree." The snake ran under
James' mom's legs and she said
"ahh, get it away from me."
Then the snake slithered under
the stove so James and his dad
moved the stove and the snake
slithered out still hissing at
them. James' mom then set up
an old cage and James and his
dad scared it into the cage.
So they got it in the cage
and released it outside. James'
mom said "that snake must
have been the odor." James
dad said "it must have knocked
over our Christmas tree too."
And James mom said "it
must have knocked over the
ornament too." James said
"it must have tripped me at
the Christmas tree sale too."
James' dad said "well it's gone

It was May 20th, 2021, and the sky was
blue. It was only 10:00 a.m. so the sun was
out. My three friends and I, Heather, Brailey,
and Tatum, were studying in a coffee shop. I
was working on math, Brailey was working
on history, Heather was working on LEA,
and Tatum was working on Science.
We left the coffee shop and went to go get
some things. It was 12:30 p.m., the sky was
gray, and Brailey was watching the news.
They said there is a tornado watch, so I left
with my camera. Her, Heather and Tatum
charged their phones while getting the basement ready.
I left town in my truck with my camera
and was in Moore, Oklahoma, taking pictures and waiting and watching.
I got a phone call from my partner, Reed
Timmer, one of the best storm chasers in the
country. Finally, it touched down and I took
a lot of pictures. Reed and I were analyzing
it and were about to figure out how tornadoes work. We were so excited.
It lasted 30 minutes and destroyed half of

when I got home, Brailey, and Heather and
Tatum were okay. The End.

Once upon a time there was a frog, he
was not an ordinary frog. The Frog was the
smartest frog in the lake. So he thought he
should make a math problem. 9 x 9 =? So he
traveled on to find the answer. Soon he came
to a valley.
He met a huge animal. It called itself a
bison.
"My name is blue bison my name comes
from the blue flowers I love to eat," said blue
bison.
"Ooh" said the smart frog, "Flowers are
gross! I think you meant flies! By the way, a
question for you. What is 9 x 9?"
"Is it 20 or 10?"
"No said the Frog, do you know what it
is?" "No said the Bison."
"Man" said the Frog, "I guess I will have
to leave and find the answer somewhere else
then," the frog said sadly. So he went off to
find the answer. He went to the ocean and
found a hermit crab burying itself in the
sand.
"Do you know what 9 x 9 is?" asked the
Frog.
"I never had a brain for numbers, so I
don't know the answer to that" said the hermit crab.
"Okay man, I will have to go somewhere
else then," the frog said sadly. So he slowly
hopped away. He came to a swamp. He found
a worm. He asked "do you know what 9 x 9
is?"
"Yes I do it is 81" the worm said. "Yes! I
found the answer to the problem. Wait if I
didn't know the answer then I guess I'm not
the smartest frog now," said the Frog sadly.
"Hey you are still very smart you can be the
smart frog now," said the worm.
"A woodpecker, help me!" said the worm.
"I will help you" said the Frog. "Stand
back woodpecker. Do you want to be trampled?" he frog said. The Woodpecker backed
off.
"Yay, said the worm "you are a Brave

"Yes I am a Brave Frog. My name is now

HONORABLE MENTION
John Fibotheras knew that
he was small compared to
everyone else on the football
team. Even though he was
small he was the best wide
receiver on the field. His
friend, Ronnie Cautropolis,
was the best QB in the league,
together they were very hard
to stop. But this year they had
new competition. He was a
great QB, his name was Sean
Heart.
When John and Ronnie
heard the news they had a
little concern for their team
this year. At practice they
told their coach and he said,
"you guys shouldn't be worrying about him, you guys are
unstoppable together." Then
he walked away muttering
something under his breath.
After practice that night they
were at John's house and playing Madden 2021, and talking
about Sean and how he could
be a threat to their championship game coming up against
him.
It was a Saturday morning
right before the game. It was
the United Bulls versus the
Littleton Bulldogs. John and
Ronnie played for the Bulls
who have been undefeated for
3 years in a row. They have
also won four titles and have
gone to the playoffs five times.
"You ready to kick some
Bulldog butt?," John asked.
"Oh heck yeah," Ronnie
said so enthusiastically, and
then they ran on the field
pumped up. At the end of the
first half the score I was 12-3
Bulldogs ahead. The Bulls will
get the ball at the start of the
second half.
The Bulls locker room was
quiet, really quiet. After five
minutes of silence their coach
finally said "you guys need to
keep your heads up, the other
team doesn't know that we are
better in the second half!" All
of the Bulls went stampeding
out of the locker room.
After the kickoff the Bulls
got the ball at the 15 yard line
Ronnie got the call of a little
buttonhook pass to their tight
end Jimmy Hiftig. They got
a 12-yard the first down. The
next play was a jet sweep to
John, but the Bulldogs saw it
coming from a mile away and
tackled him behind the line of
scrimmage. They all huddled
up and Ronnie said, "everyone
go deep except for you Jimmy.
Run a little slant back to me
and I will look for you, but if
you are not open I'm throwing
it to John." Then they broke
the Huddle.
When Ronnie said hike,
John went running down
the field and the cornerback
wasn't ready and John was
wide open. When Ronnie
saw this he planted his foot
and threw the ball deep. As
soon as it left Ronnie's hand
he knew that it was a perfect
pass. When John caught the
ball he ran straight for the
endzone and scored the first
touchdown for the Bulls. Then
they ran the ball to Ben Gissle
for the two-point conversion
to make the game 12 to 11 with
the Bulldogs ahead.
They tried to kick the ball
as far down the field as possible but their kicker messed
up the kick and did an on-side
kick, but the other team
wasn't ready for an onside
kick because the Bulls got the
ball. With only 3 minutes left
to play they started to pass
the ball a lot. The good thing
about passing the ball is that
Ronnie had a golden arm and
they only had one incomplete
pass.
The Bulls have the ball at
the two yard line and only
10 seconds left. This was the
last play of the game and they
were going to pass the ball to
John. Once they snapped the
ball John beat the cornerback
badly and was wide open and
Ronnie gave him a perfect pass
to win another Little League
Football Championship.

she saw that very book on her

Then she realized that she
wrote this when she was only
9 years old! She finally made

took off. It took 3 days to get

There was a silver tiger! She

Once there was a man
named Joshua. He wanted to go
bear hunting because the bears
took his cows and pigs. The
next morning he took his gun
and got onto his horse and rode
into the woods. All of a sudden he heard something behind
him. Joshua looked back and
saw a bear coming at him. He
did not know what to do but
his horse knew. Joshua's horse
kicked and hit the bear right on
the nose.
The bear did not like that at
all. But when the horse kicked
Joshua fell off the horse. Well,
Joshua was a bad tempered
man. He turned around and
gave his horse a big kick.
The horse squealed and gave
Joshua a kick. Joshua got into
a tree. When he came back
down the bear charged at him
so he climbed back up the tree
and there he sat for about an
hour. Then Joshua had an idea.
He got his knife and threw it at
the bear. It hit him on the nose.
The bear roared and ran off.
"Well, that takes care of that,"
he said. Joshua came down the
tree and went to find his horse.
He found it taking a drink.
"Come here," he said. The
horse came and Joshua climbed
on his back. Well by that time it
was about dark. "Let's go find
camp," said Joshua. When he
found a suitable place he set
up his tent and other stuff. He
ate his dinner and crawled into
his tent to sleep. He fell asleep
right away.
It was about 2:00 when he
heard something. Scruff scruff.
There it was again. Cautiously
he went to the tent door.
Something black and white
was walking through his camp.
"Oh," he said "a cat." He walked
toward it to pet it. The cat
raised its tail and sprayed poor
Joshua. It stank really much.
He ran to the stream and tried
to wash the smell off. Finally it
came off and he went back to
camp and lay down and slept
till morning. When he woke
up he said, "I am going to get a
bear today." He walked into the
woods to get a bear. He became
thirsty. He came to a stream
and was taking a drink when
something butted him right
into the stream. When he came
up he was all wet and angry.
He saw the bull elk that pushed
him into the stream and tried
to shoot the elk. But when he
brought up his gun and pulled
the trigger went "click."
"Why you good for nothing

gun. When he heard something
he turned around and saw a

running as fast as he could. He
ran for about 2 minutes. When

We are going to the airport.
We are going to Florida. We are

to the bathroom. Okay I'm panicking! Just got out of the bathroom and I don't know where
my parents went! Now there is
a guy staring at me. He is chasing me. I woke up and now I'm
in a town called the Superdog
town. I'm trying to escape this
house that someone locked
me in undefined okay I just
got out of the house and there
were three dogs outside the
door. The leader was Norman
and the two sidekicks were
Harper and OC. Norman was
very clumsy. I'll have wings.
Norman always ran into trees.
The two sidekicks were chill.
Until I fully met Harper she
was so crazy all the time. I got
to know OC and she is still
chill. I have been here for a
while now and I don't know
when I'm going home.
The next day the guy who
trapped me in the house just
asked me if I wanted to go
home. I said yes because my
family is probably scared. He
took me to the airport and I
don't remember anything until
I woke up in the bathroom.
Then I called my mom to come
get me. I'm finally home and
my mom and dad were so
scared.
I have to go to school tomorrow. I'll update you after

reading the sign. "Fred must be
my name." Fred assumed as he
looked around one more time
and saw other pickles being
shoved into jars. "That's not
good. I got to get out of here."
"Ouch, that's going to leave a
mark." Fred said as he jumped
off the machine. "Where's the
grand escape exit?" He said in
curiosity while he looked further around the interiors of the
factory. After 6 long minutes of
exploring the factory he finally
spotted a small hole in the wall.
"That must be my way out." He
said as he ran to the hole. "All
right." As he squirmed through
the hole. "Holy cow that's a
lot of trucks." Fred said as he
admired how many trucks.
After about 2 minutes of looking around he saw two people
arguing.
"Ugh there we go." Fred
groaned as he got on top of the
truck. After a long time of listening to the two people argue
they finally finished. One of
them went into the factory and
the other one hopped into the
truck. After three long miles
they reached Oopsville. "Yawn.
All this escaping is making me
tired." Fred said as he was falling asleep. Suddenly he was
thrown by a sudden stop.
The truck stopped for gas,
Fred dropped off and looked
around and saw a box.
"I'll make that do for my new
home," he said as he turned
the box into his home. After
a short period of time he was
finished.
"Home
sweet
home.
Relaxation" Fred said.
He lived behind the old 86
Gas Station for the rest of his
life and he was never bothered
by the factory.
Stuck at School

HONORABLE MENTION
It was a normal day at school
for Bob. He was having a good
day, he was hanging out with
his friends on a Friday. Later
at second recess he was playing
football and having fun. When
the teacher blew the whistle
they all ran to line up and go
inside.
Once they were inside the
teacher told them to grab their
stuff to leave. Bob had to use
the bathroom, so when they
were leaving he went into the
bathroom that the janitors had
already cleaned. So he told his
friends to wait outside. But his
friends got tired of waiting so
they left to get on the bus to go
home.
Bob tripped before he
walked out and hit his head. He
hit his head on the wall. And
since they already cleaned the
bathroom they didn't check it.
So he was there on the ground
but when he woke up it was
8:00 and since the lights were
shut off he was scared.
He screamed to see if anyone
was still there at school. All
the teachers had already left
to go home. So he tried to get
out but the doors were locked.
He kept running into the doors
trying to get out but nothing
was working.
For 3 hours he was trying
to get out but nothing worked.
Whenever cars drove by he
yelled and banged on the doors
and windows. And eventually
A car pulled in, he couldn't see
their face. They walked up to
the door and pulled keys out. It
was the principal coming to get
her cup. When she unlocked
the door he was really excited.
She asked what he was doing
here this late at night. He
explained that he fell and hit
his head and woke up on the
floor. And she said don't you
have a phone? He said yes, and
she asked why he didn't call his
parents and he said his phone
was dead. And she called his
mom and she came to pick him
up.
He was born in a little barn
His clothes weren't made of
wooly yarn
He was born in Bethlehem
Wise men brought him many
a gem
In a stable was his birth
He was born King of the Earth
He was born far away
In a manger filled with hay
When he was a little child
He was very meek and mild
As soon as he was one year old
He did as he was told
Jesus is our very best friend
Let's stay with him until the end
He is our friend very true
Let's serve him Faithfully in
all we do.

Hi, I'm Jessica and this is
my diary. Wait, why are you
reading my diary anyways?
I've been hearing strange noises above my room for the past
day and I think it's a ghost. I'm
a junior Ghostbuster. Emma,
my BFF, is too. We'll take care
of them but I have to eat dinner first. I think it's tacos. 30
minutes later the tacos were
delicious now let's bust some
ghosts. Jess, time for bed said
Mom. Mom! Then Mom said
"get your PJs on." Fine mom!
Tomorrow, Emma and I will
bust some ghosts. Good night.
The next day good morning
diary. I slept great last night
just thinking about busting
those ghosts. I should go get
Emma. Mom, I'm going to
Emma's house. Knock knock!
Emma answers the door. What's
up Jess, sup Emma. Come to
my house. Sure why am I going
to your house? Because I think
there's a ghost in my attic. Will
you help me? Emma nods. See
you there diary. We're here and
we're walking up the stairs.
Emma opens the attic door
and something growls. Emma
dropped the door. We run. Let's
go back up! Got you now ghost!
Wait, it's a blanket. I pulled it
off… Otis! You need to be at the
vet. How did he get up here? My
mom was cleaning the attic yesterday. Maybe he ran up there
when she was not looking. 30
minutes later we took Otis to
the vet. See you next time.
Hunting Deer

HONORABLE MENTION
One time long ago a man
went hunting deer. He climbed
into the tree to wait for a deer.
Very soon a big buck walked
up right to his stand. Then
quietly he reached for his gun
beside him. It wasn't there.
Then he gasped. It wasn't there.
He looked to the ground but
it wasn't there. Suddenly he
remembered he had been in too
much a hurry that he had left
his gun at home. Then quietly
he stood up and took one step
down the ladder. But the deer
heard him and looked to each
side. But saw nothing, then
went on eating. Then quietly
the man took another step down
Cows

HONORABLE MENTION
Eww… what's that smell? It's
the smell of money, Kansas.
Cows are a part of rural
Kansas. Kansas rural means
all other countries, cities, and
Kansas. What do they eat?
They eat grass and during
the winter they eat hay and
sometimes they eat apples too.
Cows don't sleep that much cuz
they stand up when they sleep.
They don't need that much
sleep either and another thing
is they snore too. There are all
different kinds of cows, dairy
cows, angus and more.
Cows eat lots of different
types of food. More than anything in the world. And they
have babies in the hay too.
They sometimes eat apples
to get the nutrients that they
need. They eat more food like
but this time the deer didn't
hear him. Then he jumped on
the deer and the deer quickly
tried to shake him off but he
couldn't. Then he turned and
ran and then jumped over the
fence. The man fell off and then
jumped up very quickly and
started running toward the
tree ahead. Then he climbed
the tree but heard something
under him and looked then
he saw a bobcat snarling at
him. He quickly climbed the
tree but the Bobcat followed
him. Then he quickly jumped
to the ground and ran for home
but the Bobcat ran after him.
He started growling but he
ran quickly into the house and
grabbed his gun and quickly
shot the Bobcat.
grain and lots and lots more.
Cows don't sleep that much
cuz they hear the sounds of
coyotes and wolves. They have
to graze too. They stand when
they sleep and they don't really
need that much sleep. They
snore loudly every night.
There are lots of kinds of
cows like Angus. Angus is a
cow from Scottish and a small
beef cattle another kind of cow
is Holstein. Holstein cows are
like dairy cows, well they are
dairy cows. The last kind of
cow is herod and they can live
for 2 years. They are large cows
and they are girl cows.
So maybe owning cows in
rural Kansas is for you and
your family. You could get
cows but you have to take
care of them. Cows need love,
food, water and more. You
need experience with cows and
stinky backyards. They are
stinky. But if you sell one you
will get lots of money.

HONORABLE MENTION
People say stars are balls
of fire, but I believe they're
angels. People say flying isn't
real and magic isn't either, but
if you believe it is, it can be.
People believe that you can't
have adventure if you don't
travel but I think you can in
dreams, and your backroom.
Sometimes people don't believe
in God, but I do. Who do you
think gave you a wonderful
life? He did. And he loves you.
All the little lies people tell, do
not believe them. Just believe
from your heart.

A Dog Named Teddy
Kinzie Matile
Central Heights 5th Grade
Mrs. Riemer
HONORABLE MENTION
In the middle of the night I heard a loud
bang, lightning struck. I ran out to the barn
to see five puppies born. I went to pick one
up and noticed it was all black with a white
patch on its nose. I looked back to see my
dad. He walked up to me and said "we can't
keep this one." I was in disbelief. "What,
why," I asked him.
"He's different from all the others and
useless. I don't have the time to take care of
him," my father replied.
"Then I will," I said. "Let's sleep on it,"
Dad said.
I put the puppy back with its mother
and went back inside. I crawled into bed.
I knew I had to do something for this dog.
In the morning I got out of bed and put on
my rain boots and my jacket. I found him
sleeping, and I then wrapped him in a blanket. I put him in my pocket and ran inside.
I took him out of my pocket and set him on
my bed. I got dressed and brushed out my
hair out like usual. Uh oh, the school bus
was here. I slid him in my pocket and got
on the bus.
None of the seats were open so I was
going to sit in the back until Emily, my best
friend, pulled me down to sit with her.
She asked "what is in your pocket." I
didn't know how to reply so I just pulled my
puppy out and showed her.
"Oh my gosh I'm literally speechless,"
Emily said.
"I know," I replied. We were at school
and I went to my first class and he started
to whine but nobody thought much of it. He
was really hungry but I didn't know what
to do. Eventually I got caught and sent
home. Both my parents were not happy.
When my pup was 10 months old he would
race the bus trying to stop me from going
to school. When I came back from school
he would lay on my bed curled up with my
teddy bear I had since I was 2 years old.
So I decided to name him Teddy. I taught
him lots of tricks like sit, lay down, shake
and other things. He even went with me
when I rode my horse. We all liked to ride
trails together and we'd race each other in
greenf ields and sometimes even get lost.
We didn't know where home was. I loved
Teddy and Teddy loved me.
After we had spent a year together
Teddy got bigger and more curious. I got
home from school but Teddy was nowhere
to be found. So I got on my horse Boots, a
palomino short and buff. Although he was
pretty fast. I went down the road where
Teddy likes to run to but he wasn't down
there. I went around my whole block, I
couldn't find him anywhere. This is when
I started to get worried because my mom
called for dinner. I didn't untack Boots. I
put him in the barn looks good better move
on it. to eat hay and drink some water.
When we sat down to eat my parents started to chat about buying another rescue
horse, I could train her. Since Boots was
a stallion they wanted to breed Boots and
sell the full. They were saying it would be
a good experience for me. Upset I went to
bed.
I waited until my parents were sound
asleep and went back to the barn with
boots. He wasn't sweaty anymore because
I sat a fan above his stall. I climbed upon
him and continued searching for Teddy.
There was one more place I could check.
The old barn down in the woods. I galloped
down there and tied Boots up. I walked
into the barn to find Teddy on the ground
and a snake approaching me. I ran out of
the barn and the snake was still chasing
me. Teddy ran up to the snake and eventually killed the snake, but Teddy was bit
too many times. I was afraid he wouldn't
survive. I put teddy over Boots' neck and
mounted Boots. As we walked home a shining light caught my eye. I looked towards it
to find out it was my house. We ran up to
find my mom sitting on the porch looking
sad or disappointed.
My dad took Boots reins and led him
into the barn. I quickly grabbed Teddy
off of Boots' neck and walked up onto the
porch. I remember asking why she looked
so sad. "I'm upset that you left the house
and I don't think Teddy will make it." In the
morning me and my parents took Teddy to
the vet. We spent hours sitting and waiting
for answers. The vet came rushing out to
give us bad news. "Teddy won't make it,
I'm sorry," the vet explained to us. "How
long has he got?" I asked. "One week," the
vet replied. We took Teddy home and just
bawled our eyes out. I quickly ran outside
and tacked up Boots. I grabbed Teddy and
we went on one last trail ride.
Caseys Story

HONORABLE MENTION
Casey was 17 and she wanted to be a teacher. Always pretended to be a teacher. When
she told her mom and dad she
wanted to be a teacher. They
said no way you are going to
be a nurse. Casey said but I
don't want to be a nurse mom, I
want to be a teacher. Mom said
she didn't care. So that evening
Casey went to her room and
she was sitting at her desk and
she was making a plan to run
away from home. So her mom
went to see if Casey was asleep
and it appeared that she was
asleep so she went back downstairs. You know what? Casey
was gone.
So the next morning it was a
school day, mom came up to
get her ready for school, she
said get up get ready for school.
Her mom pulled off the covers
and she gasped. Her mom ran
downstairs and told her husband what was going on. In a
few minutes they had a whole
search party, they searched all
day and all night till they found
her. Casey's mom was crying
and so was everyone else. They
were saying to each other why
she ran away. She was such a
good kid. Little did they know
she didn't run away she was
just in her tree house outside
her house.
So the next day Casey was
getting tired of hiding so she
went inside to her house and
found a few things to eat. She
grabbed a blanket, a pillow and
Alli Rockers 6th Grade St. Rose Mrs. Rockers
a few other things she thought
she might need. Casey could
hear people calling her name
and they were saying casey
where are you. She thought
about saying I'm right here but
she didn't know why nobody
knows. Casey was so upset she
started crying. Why was she
upset because she ran away
from home. Well she didn't really run away but still she missed
the nice warm meals she used
to have, her nice warm bed and
her family.
Somebody was just under
the Treehouse, she didn't hear
it; she was too busy crying.
So the person heard her and
started climbing up the steps.
Casey? Casey looked up and
you know what? It was her dad.
Dad! Casey how did you find
me? Well I knew where your
favorite spot is so I decided to
look here but also I heard you
crying. But why are you crying asked her dad. Well started
Casey I missed you and Mom,
my nice warm bed the hot
meals. We missed you dear let's
go tell your mom that I found
you okay. Okay said Casey.
Mom, dad and Casey were in
the house talking about what
happened, they were saying
why did you run away, we were
worried sick, go up to your
room right now, don't come out
till we say so. Not so much
Casey's Dad. So Casey did what
she was told she went to her
room, and didn't come till they
said so. Casey could hear her
parents yelling at each other.
Why do we have to punish her?

She is just a kid, she needs
to learn what her mom said.
Casey finally got sick of it so
she was about to go downstairs when she remembered
that she can't go downstairs
so instead she shut the door
as loud as she could so her
parents could hear it. Her
parents heard it all right,
they werew sp mad that they
stomped right up there to her
room. Her parents were so
mad that they started yelling
at her, Casey's best friend
Katie could hear her and she
lives five blocks away.
Casey's birthday was just a
few days away, and they haven't got her anything with all
that is going on; they don't
even know if they should
get her anything. Casey was
up in her room cleaning
because she was grounded
for a month, no TV no candy
no junk food. She could hardly even eat chips, but she
sure was not ready to be 18.
She didn't have a choice she
had to be 18. So she invited
Katie,
Anna, and Kolbee. Casey's
mom and dad were secretly leaving to go birthday
shopping because they were

Next up for Crest is top seeded Madison/Hamilton (16-3) as

long so they called their best
friend Carrie Nicole they
knew she would be safe with
her. So when Casey's parents
got home they had a whole
bunch of stuff. Her parents
knew they didn't have time
to wrap anything but they
tried and they wrapped
everything just in time.
So the next morning Casey's
parents got up early and
made birthday pancakes.
An hour later Casey finally woke up and she smelled
pancakes right next to her
bed. She said what is this
pancakes yum what the heck
is that it was a letter saying, we're sorry for what we
said you can be a teacher
if you want happy birthday
we love you hugs and kisses
from Mom and Dad. Casey
was so happy that she ran
downstairs unexpected into
her mom and dad's arms and
her best friends were standing there with their presents
and yelled happy birthday.
Casey was so excited that
she shared pancakes with
all her friends. After she got
done eating she opened all
her presents and you know
what? She got a teaching set.
She was the happiest little
girl.
