Rutherford seeks clemency
for 2006 child rape conviction
No time limit on request
for mercy once it reaches
the governors desk
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A former Marion
County Man convicted in
Anderson County in 2006 on child
molestation who failed in his 2008
appeal is asking Governor Laura
Kelly for mercy and to release him
from his 32-year prison sentence.
John Rutherford was convicted of aggravated criminal sodomy
and aggravated indecent liberties
with a child in 2006 in Anderson
County District Court. He lost a
2008 appeal of his 385-month sentence after the state appeals court
found no veracity in his claim
that there was no probable cause
to hold him over for trial, that his
conviction should have been overturned on that basis, and that the
age of the victim was used in sentencing as an aggravating factor
to support an upward durational
departure.
An Anderson County jury
found Rutherford guilty of molesting the developmentally disabled
four year-old
daughter
of
his live-in girlfriend. The girl
functioned at a
level similar to a
child two years
old or younger
according
to court docuRutherford
ments.
Rutherford
babysat the child in the household.
The mother testified Rutherford
would kiss the child like you
would kiss a girlfriend, and continued doing so even after the
child's mother told him to stop.
The mother also testified
Rutherford would give the child
baths and tried to do so frequently.
Court testimony from the director
of Anderson County Head Start
reported bruising on the child's
inner thighs, and when asked
about the abrasions the child
reported that Rutherford had hurt
her. That statement was corrobo-
rated by two other witnesses who
heard similar comments from the
child.
Court records from the trial
showed that officers testified
Rutherford changed his statement
a number of times during police
interviews. During his incarceration, county jail inmates testified
Rutherford told them the little
girl had rips and tears but that
she was mentally challenged so
she would not be able to testify against him. The two testified
Rutherford told them he and the
little girl cared for each other and
had plans to get married.
State appeals court rejected all
three of Rutherfords arguments
for appeal, finding that any error
that may have existed at the preliminary hearing stage was harmless given the lack of evidence
such error caused Prejudice
during the trial. The Appellate
judge also found there was indeed
sufficient evidence at trial to support his conviction of indecent
liberties, and it was unnecessary

THE KANSAS INFORMER
EMPORIA Another incident to
suppress the freedom of the press
appears underway in Kansas.
Six months after a police raid at
a Marion, Ks., newspaper raised
a national debate over constitutional protections of a free press, a
Lyon County judge will hear arguments Friday to decide whether a
former city employee now threatening to sue the City of Garnett
can be granted a protection order
against the newspaper publisher
questioning her about the story.
Lyon County District Judge
Jeffry Larson denied the order
due to possible constitutional considerations, and scheduled a hearing on the matter for Friday, Feb.
9, in Emporia.
Sherry Harrison, who lives in
Emporia but worked for a short
time in Garnett, filed the protection from stalking order Jan. 29
against Anderson County Review
publisher Dane Hicks after an
exchange of emails in which
Hicks requested
Harrisons comments for stories
on a November
resignation
letter in which
she demanded
severance for
the equivalent
of four months
Harrison
pay and benefits
under the threat
of legal action.
Harrison worked as the
Garnett/Anderson County economic development director about
six weeks before issuing the letter,
maintaining she was emotionally traumatized by the continued
influence of the former development director, Julie Turnipseed,
who Harrison said refused to abdicate the position when Harrison
came on board. Harrison also
charged city management refused
to force Turnipseed to abandon
the post. She said she had left a
higher-paying position and turned
down other jobs to take the job
in Garnett, and
had been financially distressed
by the situation
she said she was
compelled
to
leave.
Harrison
worked for less
than a year as
Hicks
the director of
Ignite Emporia,
a development arm of the local
chamber of commerce, a position
she left in May 2023 according to
her LinkedIn account. She was
hired in Garnett in October.
In her petition for the protection order against Hicks, Harrison
summarized her experience in
Garnett and said Hicks news coverage was harassing and libelous

KSU Extension transgender housing policy
may violate Kansas Womens Bill of Rights
Extension officials wont say
if policy remains at Rock
Springs camp after new law
BY PATRICK RICHARDSON
THE SENTINEL
MANHATTAN Kansas State University
Research and Extension is refusing to
say whether a controversial transgender
housing policy remains in effect.
As the Sentinel reported in late 2022,
the housing policy at Rock Springs 4-H
Youth Camp (which is not owned by
K-State but upon whose board state 4-H
board members sit) had a housing policy
that caused at least one biological boy to
be housed with girls without informing parents.
Indeed, the Manhattan Mercury
in June of 2022 reported: Housing is
assigned based on gender selected at the
time of registration, said Kansas 4-H
Foundation president and CEO Jake
Worcester in an email to The Mercury.
This has always been the process of
assigning housing at Kansas 4-H camps.
It is unlikely, however, that this has
always been the process as the national
policy, which 4-H in Kansas follows, was
adopted in 2019 and 2020.
Moreover, 2023s Senate Bill 180, the
Womens Bill of Rights, requires the
use of biological sex rather than gender identity in state law and specifically
requires that: Notwithstanding any provision of state law to the contrary, distinctions between the sexes with respect
to athletics, prisons or other detention
facilities, domestic violence shelters, rape
crisis centers, locker rooms, restrooms
and other areas where biology, safety or
privacy are implicated that result in separate accommodations are substantially
related to the important governmental
objectives of protecting the health, safety
and privacy of individuals in such circumstances.
While the camp does use a two-deep
supervision policy, meaning at least two
counselors generally between the ages
of 18 and 25 sleep in the cabins with
the campers, and there are individual,
locking bathrooms and showers; the policy is also that to prevent discrimination
against transgender individuals, their
sexual orientation will not be questioned
at camp.
The policy also prevents parents from
even being informed their child might be
bunking with a camper or counselor
who is transgender.
The Sentinel reached out to Dr. Gregg
Hadley, who is the state director of extension, to ask if K-State Extension believes

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 01-06-2024 / SUBMITTED
SECURITY…
FROM PAGE 1
what critics say is minimal and
failed security efforts by the
federal government.
Proctor, who represents
Kansas 41st District, said in a
Facebook post over the weekend he would deliver the resolution at 11:00 a.m. today. A
support rally was planned for
10 a.m. on the south steps on
the Kansas capital to preface
the resolutions introduction
and debate.
Governor Kelly has claimed
the border collapse is a federal issue, and Kansas National
Guardsmen are subject to a
national call-up if the president
deems necessary. The governor has authority to mobilize
the states militia for internal
state emergencies and also to
dispatch them to other states
upon request. The governor
also has broad authority to
use the bully pulpit of the
office for a verbal commitment
of support to the integrity of
the border and to pledge that
Kansas guardsmen stand ready
to assist. Florida Governor and
former 2024 presidential candidate Ron DeSantis announced
last week he would similarly
dispatch Florida National
Guard troops to assist Texas.
Bidens abandonment of the
Remain In Mexico policy on
day one of his administration
is broadly blamed for stimulating a massive movement
across the U.S. southern border by an estimated 10 million
illegal immigrants, and the
onslaught has brought the federal government and the State
of Texas into conflict. The most
recent face-off involves a federal assertion that border U.S.
Border Patrol agents have the
right to remove barriers and
barbed wire placed in the Rio
Grande River and elsewhere
along the border by law officers
and National Guardsmen acting on state authority.
Large numbers of those illegal migrants have been directed to the countrys larger
cities which have proclaimed
themselves Sanctuary Cities
for migrants Jurisdictions
which refuse to cooperate with
Federal immigration authorities and enforce existing
Federal immigration law. Now
overrun by thousands more
migrants generated by the
three-plus year border surge,
many of those sanctuary jurisdictions are seeing drastically
overtaxed resources and growing discord among their own
legal residents.
Though a copy of the resolution was not readily available by our presstime, Proctor
says his resolution is broadly
supported in the Kansas statehouse by both Democrats and
Republicans.
This resolution has been
co-sponsored by an overwhelming majority of lawmakers from both sides of the
aisle. It affirms the Kansas
Legislatures support for the
Governor of Texas in his fight
to secure our southern border
and calls on Governor Laura
Kelly to provide supportup
to and including sending the
Kansas National Guard.
The statehouse rally to suppor the measure was set for 10
a.m. today.

Colony Christian Church The Disciples Remember
Pastor Chase Riebel's message "The Disciples Remember"
came from John 2:13-22 when
Jesus cleansed the temple.
Jesus scattered the money
changers coins and turned
over their tables as He ran them
out of the temple because they
were making their own profit
more important than the peoples offerings. When the disciples saw this they remembered
Psalm 69:9 which said zeal for
your house has consumed me.
Larry Wittmer's communion
meditation "Jesus is Active and
Alive" assured us that Jesus is
busy working in us, advocating
for us, and arranging for His
return.
Rochelle Smart used scripture
from Matthew 14:28-31 as she
talked about how Peter cried
out, Lord save me, after he got
out of the boat to walk across
the water to Jesus. Smart led
the worship team of Elka and
Mike Billings, Ben Prasko and
Anna Riebel as they played
"I'll Fly Away," "Holy Water,"
"Oceans" and "The Old Rugged
Cross."
Following the service the
women attended a Grace and
Wellness discussion with
Hannah Thompson to talk
about healthy lifestyle options
and to make a safe and environmentally friendly household
cleaner.

10:45 a.m.
OTTAWA – The K-State
Research and Extension
Frontier District will host a
school to teach attendees how
to plan and conduct a safe and
effective prescribed burn of
grasslands. Tools needed for
burns will also be discussed.
The school will be held 9:30
a.m.3:00 p.m. on Monday,
Feb. 26 at the Neosho County
Community CollegeOttawa
Campus, 900 E. Logan Street
in Ottawa. A chili lunch will
be available with a donation
appreciated to cover costs.
Registration is requested by
Friday, Feb. 23 to Rod Schaub,
agricultural agent specializing
in livestock, at 785.828.4438 or
rschaub@ksu.edu.
Presenters for the school
will include Ethan Walker,
NRCS range specialist; David
Kraft, Kansas Grazing Land
Coalition; Justin Harbit,
KDWP; and Nathan Griesemer,
National Weather Service.
Topics these presenters will
cover include reasons to burn,
weather conditions for burning, equipment needed and
planning for and conducting
a burn, fire behavior, hazards
and precautions, liability and
CRP rules.
Burning of native grasses
in our area goes back hundreds
of years and is responsible for
the development of the grassy
Great Plains, Schaub said.
Thats why we need this type
of meetingwell discuss the
reasons to burn, how to plan
and conduct a prescribed burn,
and how to be safe while burning.
Schaub said that when he
first became an extension
agent in Osage County about
30 years ago, a man came to
his office and talked with him
about a letter he had from the
mid 1800s. The letter discussed
a trip a relative had made
from northwest Osage County
to southeast Osage County.
It talked about a vast sea of
native grass with no trees in
sight. The native grasses were
so high that he had to kneel
on his horses saddle to see
over the grass. The trip ended
near Quenemo where they saw
trees on the north bank of the
Maris des Cygnes River, the
only trees they had seen.
This story was almost hard
to believe, Schaub said, but
fires, both natural and manmade, were responsible for the
development of this huge area
of grassland. Based on early
records, these fires varied from
only a few acres to thousands
of acres and lasted weeks.
Fire has always played a
significant role in preventing
woody plants from invading
the prairie, Schaub said.
Many other benefits also
occur when grasses are burned
under favorable conditions
and with proper timing. These
benefits may include increased
forage quality, improved grazing distribution, increased
stocker cattle gains, improved
wildlife habitat and survival of
the young, faster development
of newly seeded grasses and
reduced wildfire hazards.
Fire was a feared enemy and
a constant concern to the early
settlers, Schaub said. The purpose of the school on Feb. 26 is
help current landowners and
producers safely use fire as a
tool to manage and improve
their grasslands.

If I had not thee
In the movie Hostiles a
woman loses her entire family
in an Indian massacre. She is
the lone survivor and is picked
up by a Calvary unit. They
are later attacked by the same
Indians and she witness further violence. Near the end
of the show, the woman, with
no possessions only her life,

That question resonates in
each one of our lives. If it

time we feel we are finally
turning the corner something
unforeseen happens. David,
the shepherd boy who later
became king spent seventeen
years with King Saul trying to
kill him before he was able to
take the throne. In Psalm 55
David prays to God and provides us a perfect example of
how to see the power of God at
work in our life. Psalm 55:4-8,

whelmed me. I said, Oh that
I had the wings of a dove: I
would fly away and be at rest- I
would flee far away and stay in
the desert; I would hurry to my
place of shelter, far from the
tempest and storm. Then in
Psalm 55:16-17 David reflects
on his faith in God from past
trials when he says, But I call
to God, and the LORD saves
me. Evening, morning and
noon I cry out in distress and
he hears my voice. David
points to Gods non-stop vigil
over him.
A relationship with God is
the only thing in the world that
does not have the potential to
hurt or harm us in some way.
God makes this perfectly clear
when he says in Joshua 1:5, I
will never leave you or forsake
you.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 6, 2024
OPINION
Kellys moderate hit squads have tough road
Towing the baggage of Joe Bidens plummeting popularity and the fallout of her own Leftleaning judgments, will Kansas Governor Laura
Kelly find success in her vaunted quest to nullify
Republican supermajorities in the legislature
this November and make Kansas more blue?
Despite rebranding old-school liberal political
machinery as moderate by collecting Kansas
RINOS and Democrats into political action committees like Steve Morris Kansans First and
Kellys own Middle of the Road PAC, the
telltale winds of 2024 might indeed be a time for
progressive socialists masquerading as moderates to save their ammunition and live to fight
another day.
Leftists hoping to rely on the typical host
of dark money funders and shady online voter
outreach efforts seem optimistic, bolstered by
the governors re-election and the defeat of the
anti-abortion amendment to the state constitution. But 2020-2022 also brought with it some
hard realities in legislative elections which
have Kelly, et. al, whistling past the graveyard.
In four years Kansas voters have made their
legislature more conservative, not less; with
flipped seats and RINO ousters and the most
under-noted bellwether upset of all the removal of 40-year incumbent Democrat potted plant
Anthony Hensley in Senate District 19. Those
losses strengthened GOP numbers and resolve
in the past four years, and Democrats havent
exactly made the country and the state more
confident in their abilities as we head into 2024.
Kellys positions on a number of issues have
alienated Kansans at least outside the forever
blue bastions of Lawrence, Topeka, Johnson
County and university towns. Shes refused
to support laws banning men from girls sports
and unsuccessfully vetoed using actual gender on official state documents. Her undeniably expensive Holy Grail the expansion of
Medicaid, would put 150,000 able-bodied adults
on the tax-funded healthcare dole something
working Kansans paying health insurance premiums and others concerned about the truly
needy on Medicaid have a hard time swallowing.
Her recent veto of a tax relief bill that would
have ended income taxes for $341,000 low-income
Kansas all these illustrate how tall a mountain
unseating Republicans will be to climb.
The Godzilla on the loose for liberals seeking
office in Kansas is of course the shadow of the
Joe Biden Disaster. His illegal immigrant crisis
last week got press coverage as it landed full
force in nearby Denver ever closer to Kansas.
As spring comes on and 9 million illegals feather
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
out across the country, residents and business
owners in Lawrence wonder how long until
the Kaw River homeless encampment becomes
swelled with illegals. Kansans fear more of
Bidens chickens may come home to roost here.
These are just the most recent concerns voters have with progressive themes which have
taken over the Democrat Party rudder. Kansans
have good memories. Voters in those targeted
legislative districts havent forgotten Kellys
mismanagement of the Covid emergency; her
attempt to drag the state through an exhausting phased reopening program without medical evidence to back it up. They recall the
Republican-led legislature that put an end to the
delays of reopening state and let counties decide
on their own whether they wanted to mask
their citizens. They remember being locked in
their homes, their kids isolated from school and
society for no reason since they were the least at
risk. They remember fearing harassment from
the government if they went to church.
Leftist PACS also wont be meeting the same
opponents they met in the past two election
cycles. Republicans at their state party convention in Overland Park recently laid out a new
understanding of dark money sourcing and its
avenues via Left-leaning nonprofits to get out
the progressive vote, and theyve targeted a huge
margin of Republicans and Unaffiliated voters
in the state who are registered but infrequent
voters.
While individual Democrat voters and supporters in Kansas might read those tea leaves
and think twice about donating to Democratinspired candidates this year, cash from those
dark money sources will no doubt continue to
flow into Kansas legislative races in an attempt
to fund that mission. But even those dollars

The rich get the biggest tax break on a flat tax.
The poor and middle class get very little. The

Hawley pulls no punches with Zuck on FB damage to kids
Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley took Meta CEO
Mark Zuckerberg to a Capitol-sized woodshed
Wednesday for the harm his social media sites
reportedly cause to teenagers, challenging the
Facebook founder in a now-viral confrontation to personally compensate the victims.
Hawley followed his fiery takedown of a
stunned Zuckerberg in a Senate Judiciary
Committee hearing by announcing Thursday
hell ask the Senate next week for unanimous
consent on legislation giving victims of sexual exploitation online the right to sue social
media platforms. Such companies are currently exempt from lawsuits by federal law.
Meta owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads
and WhatsApp.
Even as Zuckerberg claimed the bulk of
the science does not indicate a link between
social media use and mental health, Hawley
blistered Zuckerberg with proof from his own
company that it does: The companys internal studies, Hawley reminded Zuckerberg,
have shown that we make body image issues
worse for 1 in 3 teen girls, and teens blame
Instagram for increases in the rate of anxiety
and depression.
Those survey results, Hawley said, were
unprompted and consistent across all
groups.
Later in the contentious exchange, Hawley
noted a whistleblowing former Meta executive has told Congress:
37% of female Meta users ages 13-15 report-

ed experiencing unwanted nudity in the past
seven days;
24% incurred unwanted sexual advances
online in the past seven days;
And 17% reported self-harm content being
pushed at them in the past seven days.
Who did you fire for this? demanded
Hawley. Who got fired because of that?
When Zuckerberg said that wasnt appropriate to talk about, an indignant Hawley
noted the presence of victims and their families in the hearing room.
Theres families of victims here today.
Have you apologized to the victims? asked
Hawley. When Zuckerberg seemed speechless, Hawley persisted. Would you like to
do so now? Theyre here. Youre on national
television. Would you like now to apologize
to the victims who have been harmed by your
product?
As Hawley invited the victims to hold
up pictures of their loved ones, Zuckerberg
stood, turned and addressed them. Im sorry
for everything you have all been through,
Zuckerberg said. No one should go through
the things that your families have suffered.
As noted by The New York Times, He did
not address whether Metas platforms had
played a role in that suffering and said the
company was investing in efforts to prevent
such experiences.
That wasnt near enough for Hawley.
Your own study says that you make life
worse for 1 in 3 teenage girls, Hawley noted
earlier in his prosecutor-style questioning.
You increase anxiety and depression. Thats
what [Metas] study says.
Saying Zuckerberg has been denying the
causation for years, claiming that the product is wonderful, the science is nascent, full
speed ahead, Hawley added, while internally you know full well your product is a
disaster for teenagers. And yet you keep right
on doing what youre doing.
That prompted applause from the gallery,
while Zuckerberg meekly protested, Thats
not true. Thats not true.

Spielbergs new story of European air war in WWII honors, terrifies
Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks have
once again done a public service.
Like Band of Brothers and The Pacific
before it, the new series Masters of the Air
is a profound act of devotion to the memory
of the men who won World War II, this time
focused on the air war in Europe.
Telling the story of a nations history will
always depend on popularizers more than academic historians (especially when the latter
dont like their countrys history very much),
and Spielberg and Hanks are better popularizers than anyone has cause to expect.
Masters tells the story of the 100th
Bomber Group of the 8th Air Force, known as
the Bloody 100th, not for the destruction it
wrought, but the punishment it took in some
of the most hazardous duty of the war.
No one has ever reproduced the story, the
machines, the conditions and the missions of
this aspect of the war as accurately and carefully before, and no one probably will again.
Ten years in the making with a $250 million
budget, this is a production at the very highest level of technical proficiency. The B-17s
— the long-range bombers known as Flying
Fortresses, or Forts for short — steal the
show. They are lovingly reproduced and often
look like something out of a painting.
Which doesnt obscure their deadly purpose or the deadly business of flying one over
hostile territory.
If nothing else, Masters brings home
the experience of flying in a tin can breathing through primitive air masks in below-zero temperatures, while getting shot at by
German anti-aircraft guns and trying to
fend off ferocious assaults from much faster
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
German fighters.
It is as terrifying as it sounds.
Relying on Air Force records, the shows
makers have obsessively reproduced the
exact position of each plane and its precise
fate during missions. As the screenwriter
John Orloff has explained, they felt a factual
rendering was mandatory; this wasnt Star
Wars — a made-up conflict involving fictional
people — but real battles in which Americans
gave their last full measure of devotion.
Orloff notes that about three months after
its arrival in England, 34 of the 100ths 36
crews had been shot down. The tour of duty
was 25 missions, but the aviators made it
through just 11 on average.
In contrast to the British who bombed at
night, the U.S. engaged in daylight bombing
that was supposed to be precision in nature.
Without protection from fighter planes,
which wasnt available at the beginning, this
made the B-17s sitting ducks. Sometimes the
missions involved hitting industrial sites,
sometimes they targeted cities themselves
and German morale, sometimes they were
designed to bait the Luftwaffe into combat so
it could be degraded.
With the introduction of the long-range
P-51 fighters that could properly defend the
B-17s, the balance of the air war shifted decisively in 1944.
Theres been a long-running debate about
the morality and efficacy of the Allied bombing campaign. Theres no doubt that there
was a real moral cost to the campaign and its
wanton destruction. Unfortunately, though,
there was no easy way to take down a totalitarian power that had come to dominate the
European continent, and for a long time, strategic bombing was our only serious means to
attack the Nazis directly.
As for the efficacy, if nothing else, the campaign diverted massive Nazi resources to air
defense. But it achieved more than that.
By 1945, military historian Cathal
Nolan writes, the bombers would destroy
Germanys transportation systems and
demolish most vital war industries, especially oil supply and refining, and effectively end
fighter production.
He continues, Neither Germany nor Japan
could by the end of their respective wars move
military supplies, complete production or
deploy weapons and divisions as they wanted,
even inside their homelands.
Young American men gave their all in
harrowing conditions to make this contribution to victory. Masters is their story as it
deserves to be told.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
lying about the low-income not getting a
tax break. So funny when people who dont
pay taxes and dont know how the tax system works complain because they dont get
breaks. Low income people dont get as much
of a tax break under any kind of tax reduction
plan because they dont pay near as much
in taxes as higher earners do. The top 1 percent of earners pay 42 percent of all taxes.
Low-income people also cost more in government-paid services, Medicaid, AFDC, public
school free lunches and special needs weighting for school budgets. If you want more out of
a tax break, go back to tech school or college,
better get a better job and pay more taxes to
start with.
So Biden believes he has the power to forgive
student loans and take away your gas stove,
but he doesnt have enough power to protect
the countrys border which he broke in the
first place? Everyone who believes that, stand
on your head.
Could somebody please readjust the four-way
traffic light on 59 Highway at 4th Street and
Park Road? When it was initially put in it was
adjusted wonderfully. Nobody coming from
the other direction, you pull up to the light,
it would switch very shortly, and youre on
your way. Now nobody can be there, pull up
and you sit and you wait and wait and wait.
Can we please get them readjusted a little
better? Thank you.
In its drive to destroy our democracy and
establish a one-party dictatorship, the NeoNazi Democrat Party has taken over and corrupted all our major institutions, including
our judicial system, through its stranglehold
on our universities and law schools, turning
them into Democrat Party activist and indoctrination camps. It has control of the bar associations that dictate curricula and determine
who can practice law. They now control most
courts and weaponize them to destroy political opponents and strike down democratically-passed legislation by Republicans and
common sense election integrity measures.
The leftist destructionists this week voted
against legislation that would deport illegal
aliens for DUIs and Social Security fraud,
Instead rewarding them with free housing
assistance, free food stamps, cash payouts,
free health care and financial aid for college.

was a medical physician. He
graduated from several medical and surgical schools.
The Harter Company was
called the Dr. Harter Medicine
Company. This company
was established in St. Louis,
Missouri around 1868. In 1885
they marketed Dr. Harters
Wild Cherry Bitters. This
Bitters would become very popular. Dr. Harter passed away
in 1890. The Bitters manufacturing was kept in St. Louis,
but the sales department was
located in Dayton, Ohio.

His articles are intentionally harassing and they have
tormented me to the point that
I am unemployable, Harrison
said in her petition. The man
is unwell, unstable, and one
scary dude.
Hicks said copies of emails
to be introduced at the hearing
show there was no harassment.
Im covering a story about
the threat of a lawsuit against
our city and a demand for public funds by an ex-employee
under odd circumstances,
Hicks said. I offered her the
opportunity to comment if she
wanted to. Thats not harassment. Thats a reporter trying
to do a fair job.
Judge Larson noted the
potential conflicts of First
Amendment free press concerns over Harrisons petition,
and said the court needed more
information before granting it.
The court recognizes constitutional protections may be
an issue in this matter and
therefore declines to issue
temporary restraining orders

opportunity to present evidence and argument regarding
the allegations contained in the

ever put a solid number to the

Kellys lockdown did to Kansas,
but none of those memories

The issue arises after the
Marion County Record was
raided by law enforcement
officers in August 2023 on a
warrant signed by a magistrate
judge on allegations of identity theft from a local business
woman that were later found
to be false. The warrant authorized police to seize the newspapers computers, cell phones
and other equipment required
to produce its product, which
authorities held for several
days, generating nationwide
criticism of the move and raising press freedom issues to a
new level of public discourse.
Joan Meyer, the 98-year-old
co-publisher of the Record,
died of cardiac arrest a day
after officers raided her home
and the newspaper to seize the
equipment. Meyers vehement
protests to officers as they took
equipment from her house was
captured in a home security
video that later went viral on
social media.

that SB-180 does not apply, that
transgender biological males
may be housed with biological
females based on gender identification, and that parents
need not be notified, or if the
policy had been changed.
Hadley was also asked what
the housing policy is in regards
to other overnight trips, such
as state shooting competitions
in which 4-Hers stay in motels.
Hadley did not respond,
but had K-State Spokeswoman
Michelle Geering reply in his
stead.
Geering
said
simply,
Kansas State University,
which include (sic.) Kansas
4-H, complies with all applicable federal and state laws,
including nondiscrimination
laws.
The Sentinel then asked if
the policy of housing transgender biological males with biological females without parental notification or consent was
still in effect and, if so, under
what authority K-State was
ignoring state law to the contrary.
As of publication, Geering
has not responded.
Requests for comment from
Kansas Attorney General Kris
Kobach also have not been
returned.
K-State, Hadley have a history of minimizing and ignoring
transgender policy concerns
In 2022, Dr. Kurtis Gregory,
a veterinarian and member of
the Cherokee County 4-H board
reached out along with others
to Hadley to express their concern.
As the Sentinel reported
at the time, Gregory said in
a meeting Hadley essentially minimized their concerns.
In an email obtained by the
Sentinel, Hadley said hed
reached out to an administrator at the national level regarding the concerns expressed by
Cherokee County residents.
He says he was told that the
unnamed administrator doubted the perspectives of his
organization and those of the
concerned citizens will align
with one another.

Heartlander asked Hawley
what he thought was gained
by his dogged questioning of
Zuckerberg.
Well, I think we finally got
an acknowledgment, for the
first time ever, that Facebook
does real harm to kids online,
Hawley said, so much so that
he had to actually face the parents and apologize for what
Facebook has done. Hes made
billions billions of dollars.
Facebook has made billions of
dollars in part by allowing
kids to be exploited on their
platform. That has got to end,
and I hope that this will be a
beginning.
Apologies are good. Thats
a good first step. What needs
to happen now is, Congress
needs to act. Congress needs to
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 6, 2024
PUBLIC NOTICE
pass a law to allow victims to
sue these companies for what
theyve done to them.
The Heartlander asked
Hawley what he thought of
Zuckerbergs apologizing to
victims, which made for frontpage headlines.
Well, he didnt want to. I
mean, he clearly was hating
every minute of it. And whats
just as telling is when I asked
him if he was going to compensate these victims. Hes got $140
billion of his own money. Is
he willing to spend any of it to
help these victims particularly these young girls who have
been propositioned, whove
had suicide videos pushed at
them, who have been chased
around by pedophiles? Is he
going to do anything to help
them?
And he looked like he never
considered that in his life. You
could tell he didnt even know
what to say. The answer should
be easy. It should be, We will
do everything we can to help
them.
And I tell you, the way to
incentivize them is to let them
be sued.
What if Hawleys line of
questioning had been in front
of a jury?
Oh man, Hawley replied,
briefly lost in thought. You
know, if you could get a jury
on this, I think a jury would
absolutely convict. Youd get
a multibillion-dollar verdict.
And you want to know what
would happen then? Facebook
would change its behavior.
You want to drive change?
Open up the courtroom and
allow normal people, allow
victims, to get into court and
have their day in court. They
probably wont win every case,
but theyd have their day in
court. And I tell you what,
theyll win some of the cases,
and that would make that company change and every other
company too.
All it would take would be
one verdict in favor of these
victims, and all of those tech
executives, theyd be scurrying
to get rid of the child porn on
their platforms. They would do
it in a heartbeat. But right now,
they think theyre untouchable. That has got to change.
Hawley did ask Zuckerberg
why his company shouldnt be
sued for dead and harmed children allegedly linked to Metas
social media use. Zuckerberg
responded with bland assurances that his company is leading the industry effort to build
the best tools it can to keep
communities safe.
Oh, nonsense, Hawley
blurted. Your product is killing people.
The Missouri senator then
challenged Zuckerberg to compensate victims himself, even
though his company is impervious to lawsuits.
Will you personally commit
to compensating the victims?
Youre a billionaire, Hawley
said, suggesting Zuckerberg set
up a compensation fund with
his own money. Zuckerbergs
reply was unresponsive, which
Hawley said sounds like a
no.
At the very least, Hawley
told The Lion, there ought to
be a higher minimum age for
social media accounts.
It ought to be 16 years old
before you can open up a social
media account. That would
help parents so much. I can say
this from experience: It would
be a huge help for parents to
know that those media companies arent even available,
the platforms arent even available, till their kids are 16.
I just hope that every parent in America will encourage
their kids to stay off social
media as much as possible.
Theres very little good that
comes from social media,
especially in those early teen
years.

USDA encourages producers participating
in Conservation Reserve Program to
consider forest management incentive
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25,
2024 The U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) is offering financial assistance to
agricultural producers and
private landowners enrolled
in its Conservation Reserve
Program (CRP) to improve
the health of their forests. The
Forest Management Incentive,
available through USDAs
Farm Service Agency (FSA),
can help participants with
forest management practices,
such as brush management
and prescribed burning.
Healthy forests offer many
benefits, from providing habitat
for wildlife to sequestering carbon, said FSA Administrator
Zach Ducheneaux. Through
the
Forest
Management
Incentive, USDAs Farm
Service Agency provides an
additional forest improvement
tool to producers participating
in the Conservation Reserve
Program. This incentive
enhances the Conservation
Reserve Programs environmental benefits and helps
protect our countrys natural
resources.
The Forest Management
Incentive is available to participants with active CRP contracts with forest cover that
are not within two years of
expiring. The incentive is a
payment to eligible CRP participants who properly completed
authorized forest management
practice activities to improve
the condition of resources, promote forest management and
enhance wildlife habitat.
Forest management practices include brush management,
herbaceous weed control, prescribed burning, firebreaks,
development of early successional habitat and forest stand
improvement.
Additional
information is available in our
Forest Management Incentive
fact sheet.
Participants can now submit offers for the Forest
Management
Incentive.
Interested producers should
contact the FSA at their local
USDA Service Center.
More Information
The Inflation Reduction
Act of 2022 (Pub. L. 117-169)
and the Further Continuing
Appropriations and Other
Extensions Act, 2024 (Pub. L.
118-22), extended the authority
and provided funding for the
Forest Management Incentive
until 2031.
The Forest Management
Incentive was launched in
2020 and is one of the many
natural resource conservation options available through
CRP. Currently, the Forest
Management Incentive has
participants in 27 states.
Since 2021, USDA has seen a
significant increase in enrollment and interest in CRP,
which is a critical part of the
Departments efforts to support
climate-smart agriculture and
forestry on working lands. In
October, USDA announced it
issued more than $1.77 billion
to 667,000 agricultural producers and landowners for 23
million acres of private land
enrolled in CRP.
Producers not currently participating in CRP can now submit offers for Continuous CRP.
Learn more.
Signed into law in 1985, CRP
is one of the largest voluntary
private-lands conservation
We appreciate all you do
programs in the United States.
Originally intended to primarily control soil erosion and
potentially stabilize commodity prices by taking marginal
lands out of production, the
program has evolved over the
years, providing many conservation and economic benefits.
USDA touches the lives of
all Americans each day in so
many positive ways. Under
the Biden-Harris administration, USDA is transforming
Americas food system with a
greater focus on more resilient
local and regional food production, fairer markets for all producers, ensuring access to safe,
healthy and nutritious food
in all communities, building
new markets and streams of
income for farmers and producers using climate smart
food and forestry practices,
making historic investments
in infrastructure and clean
energy capabilities in rural
America, and committing to
equity across the Department
by removing systemic barriers
and building a workforce more
representative of America. To

USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender.

Huge 4th quarter propels Lancers
to home win over Marmaton Valley
COLONY – Last Thursday
the Crest Lancers hosted
Marmaton Valley and rolled
to a 60-40 win after a dominant
fourth quarter.
Early on the home team
seemed to have the game in
hand as they jumped out to a
16-9 lead after the first quarter and expanded their lead to
28-17 at intermission.
The road team would rally
in the third quarter though as
Marmaton Valley outscored
Crest 16-9 to cut the deficit
down to 37-26.
The Lancers would take all
the momentum in the fourth
quarter though outscoring
Marmaton Valley 23-7 over the
final 8 minutes to pull away.
Ryan Golden led the Lancers
with 20 points, 10 rebounds and
3 steals.
Rogan Wier added 13 points,
6 assists and 4 rebounds and
Drake Wier chipped in with 9
points and 4 rebounds.
Others scoring was Jacob
Zimmerman with 6 points, Levi
Prasko had 5, Gentry McGhee
scored 4 points and Denton
Ramsey finished the night with
3 points.
Lancers win OT thriller over Southeast
COLONY – In Friday nights
homecoming tilt against
SE-Cherokee, the Crest Lancers
held off the pesky challengers
for a 39-38 win.
Crest doubled up Southeast
in the first for an early 14-7
lead.
Southeast would control
the tempo the majority of the
rest of the way with a slowed
down offensive attack. Crest
was limited to 6 in the second
quarter and just 2 in the third
as Southeast climbed back into
the game, taking a 23-22 lead
into the fourth quarter.
It would be a back and forth
game as Southeast reclaimed
the lead with a three-pointer
with just 40 seconds left, 30-28.
The Lancers would respond
with a bucket with just 15 seconds left to send the game into
overtime knotted at 30 as a
Southeast buzzer beater went
off the back of the rim.
Late in the overtime, the
drama was intense.
The visitors were frustrated late, thinking calls werent
going in their favor before a
Southeast player was hit with a
technical foul for slamming the
ball into the court following a
foul.
After hitting the technical
free throw, Crest was clinging
to a 37-35 lead.
Following a pair of free
throws, Crest was up 39-35 with
just 43 seconds left.
Southeast responded, hitting
an uncontested three-pointer to
cut the lead down to 1.
Crest would call a timeout
and on the inbounds they were
baited into an out of control
layup attempt, giving them the
ball back with just 5 seconds
left and down just one point.
The host team would get a
decent look at the buzzer, but
the 25 footer would hit the back
of the rim, just as their regulation attempt did, giving the
Lancers the victory.
Rogan Wier led the Lancers
with 14 points and 4 assists.
Jacob Zimmerman and
Ryan Golden tallied 8 and 7
points respectively. Golden
also added 9 rebounds and 3
blocks.
Denton Ramsey added 6
points and Levi Prasko chipped
in with 3 points and 5 steals.

struggle at Silver Lake
SILVER LAKE – Six Central
Heights
Lady
grapplers
competed at Silver Lake on
Saturday, combining for just
three wins on the day.
Julie Platt (140) led the
way winning her opening two
matches, one over Adalize
Arevalo of Bishop Ward by
fall (3:05) and Ninel Garcia of
Salina South by fall (0:33) in
the quarterfinal. Platt would
proceed to lose her next three
matches including the 5th place
match, which was a rematch, to
Garcia. Garcia had the upperhand this time around winning
by fall (1:51).
Also finishing 6th like Platt
was Landry Sparks (100).
Sparks lost the quarterfinal
match before winning by fall
(4:23) in the consolation round
1 match against Bailee Lamb
of Rock Creek. Sparks would
drop the consolation semifinal
match and then the 5th place
match to Sarah Hanson of
Wellsville by fall (2:22).
Piper Stottlemire (110) lost
her quarterfinal and consolation round 2 match after receiving an opening round bye.
Charley Roehl (120) lost her
opening round match, then following a bye she lost the consolation round 2 match as well.
Bailey Roehl (145) and
Kayleigh Latimer (190) had
similar paths on the day as they
both lost their round 1 match,
then had a bye in the consolation round 1 match before
losing their round 2 matches.
Lady Bulldogs down Burlington
GARNETT – From the opening
score, the Anderson County
Bulldogs never trailed in their
49-31 victory over Burlington
on Tuesday.
The Lady Bullogs led 9-5
after the first quarter and
stretched their lead out to 22-14
heading into halftime with a
13-9 advantage in the second
quarter.
The Bulldogs would continue to build on that advantage
throughout the second half. AC
outscored Burlington 17-11 in
the third quarter and again 10-6
in the fourth period.
Three Anderson County
players tallied double figure
games led by Rilyn Sommer
with 16 points and Caitlyn
Foltz and Kylie Disbrow with
14 points each.
Sommer also added 9
rebounds and 3 steals, Disbrow
was one rebound shy of a triple
double with 9 rebounds and 11
blocks and Foltz tacked on 10
rebounds and 5 assists.
Alexis Overstreet added
3 points and a pair of assists
and Brylie Kohlmier added 2
points.
Double digit rally leads Lady
Bulldogs to road victory
GIRARD – Anderson County
hit the road Friday to square
off with a 9-4 Girard team and
came out on top 48-40 after
trailing by as many as 14 points
in the first half.
The win pushed the Lady
Bulldogs record to 13-1 on the
season.
It was an inauspicious start
for Anderson County as they
trailed 14-11 after the opening
quarter and trailing 28-20 at
halftime.
The AC girls trailed by 14
points at one point midway
through the second quarter
before rallying to cut it down
to 8 at intermission.
The strength of the Lady
Bulldogs took over in the third
quarter as their defense limited
Girard to just 4 points in the
third quarter.
Anderson County responded
with 12 points in the third to tie
the game at 32 heading into the
final quarter of play.
The Lady Bulldogs continued their strong defense, holding Girard to 8 points in the
fourth and doubling their total
with 16 points of their own to
close out the victory.
Caitlyn Foltz led the way
offensively for the Bulldogs
with 22 points, adding 13 points
and 3 assists on the night.
Rilyn Sommer was the only
player to join her in double figures with 13 points, adding 14
rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
Kylie Disbrow had 8 points
on the night but she did much
of her damage defensively
and on the boards. Disbrow
blocked 20 shots on the night
and added 17 rebounds.
Taylor Clark and Alexis
Overstreet chipped in with 3
and 2 points respectively.
Vikings boys knock off KCC
RICHMOND – The Central
Heights Vikings earned their
first back-to-back victories of
the season with a Friday night
homecoming victory over
Kansas City Christian 57-25,
