Projection: $4 gallon gas by May/June
Gas price surge continues
to rack wallets of countys
1,500 commuting workers
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Increasing gasoline prices continue to crowd the wallets of
Anderson County residents, especially
some 1,500 who drive out of the area
to work every day. Analysts who follow gasoline markets say prices will get
worse this summer before most likely
receding in the fall.
GasBuddy, a national tracker of fuel
prices and market issues in the U.S. and
worldwide, predicts the recent uptick
in prices will continue through June.
While prices vary by region and grade
of gasoine, GasBuddy showed a $3.28
national average price for gasoline on
December 31. The company projects a
June high of between $3.43 and $4.13
before calling for a drop to under $3 per
gallon in October.
Kansas average gas price according
to Kansas AAA was $3.11 last week with
a $2.96 average the previous month. The
Kansas average a year ago was $2.19.
Prices in Garnett as of yesterday ranged
upward of $3.16/gallon.
The news puts continuing pressure
on nearly half of Anderson Countys
work force which heads out of county
daily for work. U.S. Census Bureau data
from the 2020 census shows some 45.5
percent of the countys estimated over
16 aged workforce of 3,293 some 1,500
workers leave the county each day for
work, with a median commute time of
26 minutes to work. The data showed 21
percent of county commuters travel 45
minutes or more one way.
By far most of those commuters 74
percent according to the census data
make their work trip alone, meaning
they bear the full brunt of their fuel
costs and whatever increases come this

Seatbelt enforcement to ramp
up around area high schools
Area cops will put focus
on teen drivers, seatbelt
safety in next few weeks
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Law officers will be
stepping up seat belt enforcement
the end of this month around area
high schools as part of the annual
Seatbelts Are For Everyone (SAFE)
program.
Anderson County Sheriff Vern
Valentine said local officers would
join others across the state Feb. 21
March 4 as part of the program,
which will entail extra patrols and
enforcement around schools before
and after school hours in an effort to
increase seatbelt compliance.
The SAFE program got its start
in Crawford County in 2008. The
county had one of the lowest teen
seatbelt compliance rates in the
state, program organizers said, so
the county sheriff brainstormed the
SAFE program as a tandem effort to
educate teens and set up a contest
and reward system at county high
schools as well. Students were surveyed and reminded about the program with a chance to participate by
signing a seatbelt pledge card, which
qualified them to win gift cards in
monthly drawings.
With 1,875 students in the county,
the seatbelt usage
increase
of 16.3%
meant an
additional
306
students were
wearing
their seatbelt and traveling safer every day,
the program website says. The program was soon expanded across the
state.
But locally the program appears
to center primarily on enforcement,
without much collaborative initiative involving the schools. Central
Heights and USD 365 Garnett reported no incentive or instructional
programing in tandem with SAFE.
Crest Superintendent Shane Walter
said some Crest classes are involved
in the process.
Our Family and Consumer
Sciences program provides lessons
and educational opportunities within the classroom, including elementary, for the SAFE program, Walter
said. FCCLA, STUCO, and NHS
(National
Honors
Society)
have historically
run parallel prog r a m s
within our
district
during this time frame.
Valentine said 2022 was the 9th
year for the local program. He said
local school districts have the option
to set up their own programs and
activities to work with SAFE. He
said local law officers would be
focusing on the enforcement side.
Any person not wearing their
seat belt should be issued a citation, so please, save your money and
buckle up.

of ARPA funds to agencies
Funds targeted to local
government see proposals
for new equipment, upgrades
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Anderson County
Commissioners and staff continued last
week to explore ways to parcel out some
$1.6 million in Covid-related American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding allotted to the county to be allocated among
various agencies.
County Clerk Julie Wettstein
reviewed a current breakdown of suggested line-item spending allotments,
some of which were already approved
in previous meetings and others still
under consideration by county commssioners.
Anderson County received an initial $1.5 million allotment under the
Trump Administration in December
2020, which was allotted as relief to area
businesses and non-profits and school
districts that were forced to shut down
their operations under Governor Laura
Kellys initial emergency order in the
early weeks of the pandemic.
ARPA funds some $250 billion
were designated under the Biden
Administration as economic relief to
local and state government, although
most of the line items covered in last
weeks potential spending outline
included additions or upgrades to various government services that didnt
exist prior to the Covid pandemic.
Commissioners earlier approved
some $153,000 in premium pay to county

day (estimating a vehicle that
gets 20 mpg) $70 for a five day
work week and some $25 per
week more than a year ago.

I drive about 30 miles a
day, and my price compared ot
a year ago is about double, he
said.
Prices were at artificial
lows during the height of the
Covid-19 pandemic due to the
resulting economic slowdown.
Analysts say the spiking price
of fuel is rooted in added consumption as the economy fires
back up combined with reduced
U.S. and OPEC production that
has tightened supply.

MILLER
MILLER
JANUARY 9, 1949 – FEBRUARY 2, 2022
Deborah Ann Kent Miller
of Emporia died of Covid on
Wednesday, February 2, 2022
at Newman
Regional
Health. She
was 73.
Deborah
was
born
on January
9, 1949 in
Garnett,
Miller
Kansas the
daughter of
Jerry
and
Rosa Lee Kent. She came into
this world during a blizzard
and she went out during a blizzard. She was fragile. Not
like a flower, but like a bomb.
She fought like a soldier these
last few years and she died on
her own terms, choosing the
day and time for the oxygen to
be turned down. She said she
was not afraid to die. She said
she didnt know what heaven
would be like, but she believed
it was waiting for her and she
had a whole lot of questions to
ask when she got there. While
the last few years were full of
health struggles, she had many
joyful days with her beloved
family, friends, and care givers:
good food and that laugh, her
beautiful laugh. Among her
last words were, Everybody
just needs to love everybody.
She loved flowers, fresh tomatoes, Emporia water, and really
good watermelon.
There will be no more oatmeal scotchies, or tuna salad
on white bread, but she taught
us how to read a recipe, figure
it out as you go, and when in
doubt, add Kitchen Bouquet to
the gravy to get it to look right.
She will be missed.
Deborah married Raymond
Miller on September 27, 1969
in Scipio, Kansas. He precedes
her in death along with her
parents, and brother Vince
Kent.
Surviving family members
include: son, Alex Miller of
Hammond, Illinois; daughter,
Anna (Jim) Ryan of Emporia;
grandchildren, Conner and
Brennan Ryan and Aidan and
Miranda Miller; sister, Jeree
Burnett of Overbrook, Kansas.
Deborah spent many years
as a case worker for S.R.S.
in the Garnett, Ottawa, and
Osawatomie areas. She was
a member of Sacred Heart of
Jesus Catholic Church.
Mass of Christian burial
will be 10:30 a.m., Wednesday,
February 9, 2022 at Sacred
Heart of Jesus Catholic Church

REMEMBRANCES
SEPTEMBER 2, 1934 – FEBRUARY 3, 2022
Looking forward to the time
when my earthly career will
end I desire to make note of the
important things in my life. A
confession of my faith in Jesus
Christ as my Savior is number
one. I also desire to bear witness to the fact that throughout my life, in which were the
usual joys and sorrows, I have
been wonderfully sustained by
my faith in God through Jesus
Christ. I pray you will have the
same faith also.

The will and purpose
of god is to stand
behind everything!
During this past cold spell
I walked out of the house to
break ice so the cattle could
drink. It was a cold and crisp
morning with bright sunshine.
I got to my first stop and started breaking ice out of the tank.
When I finished I walked out
of the gate and I noticed something. Dead silence, no wind,
no birds, no nothing. Usually
the cattle are milling around,
some birds are chirping or
there is a noticeable wind.
For that fleeting moment dead
silence. I have found that it
is times like this when God is
preparing to reveal something
to me. Psalm 46:10 immediately came to my mind. Be still
and know that I am God; I will
be exalted among the nations, I
will be exalted in the earth.
This text points to the
supremacy of God. For all the
power God possesses, to me,
the ability to silence his creation is the most awesome.
When God appeared to Elijah
in 1st Kings 19:11-13 he sent a
powerful wind, but he was not
in the wind. Then an earthquake, but he was not in the
earthquake, then a fire, but he
was not in the fire. After the
fire came a gentle whisper then
God spoke to Elijah.
It is God who upholds everything according to his power,
that is the God who controls all
things. The will and purpose
of God from all eternity stands
behind everything. Everything

light and darkness, pain and
pleasure, peace and calamity.
But here is the point: nothing
can spring into action without
Gods say-so and nothing can
run beyond the boundaries of
his purposes. We should never
be discouraged if things seem
to be out of control.
From
our perspective maybe, but not
from the one who sits outside
the circle of the universe. Not
from the one who spoke the
universe into existence. Now
here is the danger we face. We
have been conditioned to try
to categorize everything into
political, social or national
terms. This is a world view.
Thats life on the horizontal
plane. That is just noise. What
did God say? Be still and
know that I am God. In the
end what does the word of God
say? Thats the only thing that
matters. That is the vertical
plane.
Ministry on the Holiness
of God.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 8, 2022
OPINION
Finally, the death of masks
With the shattering news that the high
priests at the CDC have now ordained that
cloth masks did little to stop the transmission
of Covid, the monumental question hatches like
a case of mask-induced Clinical Respiratory
Illness: What on earth will local governments
and school districts do now to convince you that
theyll take care of you out of their abundance
of caution.
The CDCs admission isnt the only news
thats better for the public but an indictment of
the governments reaction to Covid, of course.
Theres data from Johns Hopkins researchers that suggests government-forced lockdowns
early on in the pandemic did more overall
physical, psychological, social and economic
harm than they saved actual lives. Theres
also the now confirmed fact that while they no
doubt still saved lives in deflecting the worst of
symptoms from the most vulnerable, the celebrated vaccines didnt perform as advertised in
preventing infection and transmission. In fact,
a separate Johns Hopkins study of unvaccinated people with first-round natural immunity
shows they were 50 percent more likely to fight
off reinfection from Delta or Omicron higher
than people who were vaccinated. The study
showed natural immunity was 3-5 times more
effective in stopping reinfection than vaccines
and that natural immunity appeared to last
nearly two years after infection.
That all sounds like good news, and for the
population in general it certainly is. The problem arises however in convincing government
particularly local school boards that there
is merit in these realities and that they should
base their decisions on those realities instead of
bureaucratic group-think.
As soon as it was clear kids were at little risk
of serious infection from Covid, mask mandates
in schools should have been rescinded early on.
Not only was the data conclusive that most kids
were at almost no risk at all, the facts of cloth
masks ineffectiveness were known early on as
well.
Medical professionals knew early on that
cloth and paper masks were effectively worthless against an airborne virus theyre designed
to keep droplets from flying out of the wearers
mouth, afterall. The gaps on the sides of those
masks and the fact theyre so uncomfortable
many people wore them under their noses told
the story pretty clearly. Tighter fitting, higher
filtration masks were better but in less supply
and most justifiably should have been reserved
for health care workers treating Covid patients.
There are documented health risks to extended term cloth mask wearers that were known
long before Covid. A 2015 study reported by
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
the National Institutes of Health proved cloth
mask wearers were at higher risk for Clinical
Respiratory Infections (CRI) and Influenza Like
Infections (ILI). The rates of all infection outcomes were highest in the cloth mask arm, with
the rate of ILI statistically significantly higher
in the cloth mask arm (relative risk (RR)=13.00,
95% CI 1.69 to 100.07) compared with the medical mask arm, the study results read.
But facts were among the earliest casualties
of the Covid pandemic as far as the public arena
and flaming social media virtue signaling were
concerned. Even Dr. Anthony Fauci changed
his tune on masks after noting in February 2020
that they were basically useless against airborne infections. Those who called out the fallacies of masks were shouted down and berated as selfish, insensitive grandma murderers.
Government officials like Governor Laura
Kelly recognized no need for any limits whatsoever to overreaching, scientifically pointless
mandates and shutdowns, as long as they could
convince a nervous populace that our elected
and appointed leaders knew what they were
doing.
Its clear now they didnt know what they
were doing or perhaps that they lacked the
courage to stand up against the cancel mob and
take us down the path that was illuminated by
actual facts. It was and is so much easier to
believe that rules will make us safe; and if that
doesnt work, the obvious solution is that we
just need more rules.
As infections and the celebrated case
counts of Omicron plummet and with facts
about cloth masks finally discussable in public,
counties, restaurants, businesses and school
districts that cling to the paranoid hypochondria of forced masking will be shown both
authoritarian and archaic. The American public particularly school children deserve better. ###

President Joseph Biden
Covid failures make us want our rights back
KANSAS COMMENTARY
EARL WATT, THE LEADER & TIMES
States of America and almost everywhere else
is the commitment to individual rights.
When it comes to a person accused of a
crime, for example, the burden is not placed
on the individual to provide he is innocent.
The state must prove the individual is guilty
of committing a crime.
If ever the individuals rights are not protected in the process, they are insulated.
This may lead to some guilty people being
freed, but it limits the possibility of the innocent being jailed.
That is how important America viewed
individual rights and protecting them from an
overzealous government.
The biggest drawback many have seen
during the pandemic has been the ease at
which the government can use a public health
crisis as a way to curtail individual rights in
the name of group rights.
Mandatory vaccines have resulted in a
rift in America between those who favor government intervention and those who seek to
protect their individual rights.
America continues to be a place where
the individual is placed above the state, and
that is why individuals are willing to die
for American freedom. They do so willingly,
knowing America protects each individual.
When individual liberties are so easily lost,
the foundation of America is shaken, as it has
been today.
Does Rivera have a right to protect his
children? Of course he does. But in the public
square, our individual rights cannot impede
on someone elses individual rights. This concerns what they do with their own person.
We do, however, curtail public smoking
and public nudity, so this has been a gray area
SEE WATT ON PAGE 5A
Biden wants to, but cant turn loose of Covid
Joe Biden was the candidate of normality
who hasnt been able to deliver it, particularly
on the pandemic.
This is not entirely his fault, obviously. He
didnt create the delta and omicron surges, nor
did he — or most anyone else — foresee that the
vaccines wouldnt prevent infections as advertised.
On COVID, though, as on much else, he has
been trapped by a commitment to his political
base and by a reflexive opposition to everything associated with Donald Trump into an
endless emergency posture that isnt wearing
well with time.
Everyone agrees now — after the flameouts
of initial efforts to pass Build Back Better and
of the attempt to trash the Senate filibuster -that Biden needs a political reset. His looming
Supreme Court pick will presumably provide a
much-needed win, but is unlikely to move the
needle much. Its on the pandemic that Biden
has, in theory, an opportunity to change course
in a significant way.
By more fully embracing an approach
geared to living with COVID and returning to
normality, Biden could usefully play against
type, align himself with shifting public opinion, and acknowledge the reality of the third
year of the pandemic when vaccines and boosters are easily available to anyone who wants
them.
Even the thought of such a tack would, once
upon a time, have elicited charges of intolerable recklessness. In certain quarters, it still
does. But the public is moving in this direction.
If the truckers shut down the Super Bowl at
least it would spare us and the children the evil
wicked Satanic halftime show.
Contact your elected leaders:
Geraldo Rivera commonly belittles those
who choose not to get a vaccine or wear a
mask as taking the rights away from others.
I have zero tolerance for anti-vaxxers,
he said in a Tweet in October, and after being
vaccinated and boosted, he, too fell victim
to COVID after a trip to Key West where he
returned with a positive test.
After being the cheerleader for vaccines,
masks and doing everything the right way,
Rivera at least was willing to, in his own
words, eat humble pie, for all of his rants
against the unvaccinated.
Before he realized that the vaccinated also
can contract the virus, he stated on a Tweet,
No Vaccine, no work, no school, no in-person
shopping. You have a right not to be vaccinated. I have the right to protect my kids.
So who is right, the Rivera who believes
anyone who exercises their right not to get
vaccinated, or the Rivera who had to eat humble pie when he realized that the vaccine is not
a guarantee against contracting COVID?
The biggest question that is challenging
America during the pandemic is the difference between individual rights and group
rights.
The key difference between the United

NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
A new Monmouth poll found that 70% of the
public agrees with the statement that its time
we accept that COVID is here to stay and we
just need to get on with our lives.
Unsurprisingly, 89% of Republicans agree
with that view. But so do 71% of independents
and nearly half of Democrats.
An NBC News poll on the schools found the
same kind of partisan splits. According to the
survey, 65% of people were most worried about
kids falling behind academically and only 30%
most worried about stopping the spread of
COVID. Again, Republicans and independents
were strongly on one side — 87% and 66% most
worried lost learning — and Democrats divided,
with 43% worried about kids losing academic
ground.
In a big Kaiser Family Foundation survey,
51% of Democrats described the pandemic as
the biggest problem facing the country, whereas only 28% of independents did and 19% of
Republicans.
This suggests that the response to COVID is
beginning to become a wedge issue — Democrats
can play to their base, which is most invested
in maintaining restrictions, only at the risk of
alienating the broader electorate.
Biden, whose handling of COVID is less
and less popular, shows signs of being conflicted. The White House counseled against
panic at the outset of the omicron surge, and
even talked of a declaration of independence
from the virus last summer. But the president
hasnt been able to make it unmistakable that
he thinks weve entered a new phase in the
pandemic. As the heterodox center-left writer
Matthew Yglesias points out, the Biden administration may believe that it has embraced normality but what its really done is only make
the most extreme public health people mad at
them.
If the administration wants to make a
statement, it could decisively turn against
the teacher unions on the issue of keeping
schools open, siding with parents and kids
over a Democratic interest group. It could
relax its indefensibly sweeping guidance on
school masking and instantly pave the way for
local school districts to lift their mandates. It
could end the federal mask mandates on travel.
But any of these measures would mean crossing
progressives; enduring the scolding of one-dimensional public-health experts; and courting

Lady Vikings down KCC Friday night at home
RICHMOND The Central
Heights Lady Vikings dominated their Friday night homecoming game over Kansas City
Christian, 49-26.
Early on the teams battled
back and forth but Central
Heights still saw themselves
with the upper hand in the
first quarter leading 13-6.
The Vikings put the clamps
down in the second quarter
and really blew the game open.
Central Heights outscored
KCC 18-4 to take a commanding 31-10 lead into intermission.
The host team didn't let up
in the third quarter either, giving KCC no chance at making
a comeback. Central Heights
more than doubled up KCC,
15-7, in the period to take a
46-19 lead into the final 8 minutes.
With the clock running and
a bevy of reserves in, KCC outscored the Vikings 7-3 in the
final quarter.
Cameron Peel led all scorers
with 14 points.
Erykah Haynes tallied 11
points on the night. Bailey
Brockus finished the night
with 9 points, all coming in
the decisive first half. Taryn
Compton scored 8 and Lily
Meyer chipped in with 6 points
in the contest.

Keaton Davis lays it in for 2 of his 8 points in Friday nights
Homecoming loss to SE Cherokee.
Crest boys downed by
Southeast Cherokee
COLONY Southeast Cherokee
spoiled the Crest boys homecoming night with a lopsided
59-35 win on Friday night.
Southeast was consistent all
night, scoring 17 in the first
quarter and 15 more in the second to take a 32-19 lead into
intermission.
Crest just didn't have an
answer following halftime
either. Southeast Cherokee outscored Crest 16-6 in the third
quarter and 11-10 in the fourth
to put the game away.
Stetson Setter led the Crest
boys with 10 points. Keaton
Davis had 8 and Ethan Prasko
chipped in with 6 on the evening.
Lancers down Pleasanton
PLEASANTON Just as it
seemed Crest was going to roll
to an easy win last Tuesday,
Pleasanton stormed back
before eventually succumbing
to the Lancers, 47-35.
Crest exploded out to a huge
15-4 lead in the first quarter,
seemingly firing on all cylinders.
The script flipped quickly in the second quarter as
Pleasanton battled back with a
14-7 in the period to cut the lead
down to 22-18 at halftime.
But following the break, It
was the Lancers turn to control
the third quarter. They outscored Pleasanton by the same
14-7 margin in the second to
get their lead to double digits
heading into the fourth quarter, 36-25.
The final frame saw both
teams play a back and forth 8
minutes but Crest would stave
off any kind of Pleasanton rally
with an 11-10 advantage in the
period.
Ethan Prasko led the Lancers
with 15 points, 16 rebounds and
5 blocks.
Ethan Godderz added 10
points to join Prasko in double
digits.
Keaton Davis had 8 points
and 5 rebounds, Stetson Setter
added 6 points and 4 steals and
Karter Miller had 5 points and
9 rebounds.
Lady Lancers win
defensive battle
COLONY The Crest Lady
Lancers downed Southeast
Cherokee last Friday, on homecoming night, 30-24.
It took a come from behind
effort to pull out the win. Both
teams stumbled out of the gate
and Southeast was clinging to a
5-3 lead heading into the second
quarter.
Southeast added to their
lead, but by just a single point,
in the second quarter. Crest
was outscored 9-8 and were facing a 14-11 deficit at halftime.
The game turned in the third
quarter as the Lancers turned a
three point deficit into a three
point lead, by having a 10-4
advantage in the period.
Southeast continued to
struggle on offense, scoring
just 6 points in the final 8 minutes as Crest countered with 9
to pull out the win.
Hermreck led the way with
10 points, followed by Godderz
with 9 points as she knocked
down three three-pointers on
the night.

Bulldogs go cold in loss to Burlington
GARNETT
Anderson
County started out strong in
last Tuesday's game against
Burlington, forging out to a 13-8
lead but things would go south
over the next two quarters in a
41-33 defeat.
The Bulldogs jumped out
to the lead in large part to
long distance shooting. Reese
Jarett scored 8 points in the
first quarter connecting on two
three-pointers and also going
2-2 from the free throw line.
Kyle Belcher also knocked
down a trey in the first quarter.
The second was a completely different story. Anderson
County failed to connect on any
field goals and only scored two
points on Chaylin Peine free
throws.
Burlington on the other
hand scored 14 points in the
second to take a 22-15 lead into
the break.
Anderson County stayed
within striking distance but
were still outscored 8-6 in the
third and saw themselves facing a 30-21 deficit heading into
the fourth.
The Bulldogs woke back up
offensively in the fourth but
couldn't mount a serious run as
Burlington was outscored only
12-11 in the final quarter.
Jarret led AC with 13 points.
Reece Katzer added 8 points on
the night.
Kyle Belcher and Peine each
added 5.
GARNETT Burlington
jumped all over Anderson
County last Tuesday, taking
control from the opening tip en
route to a 52-36 victory.
Burlington outpaced the
Bulldogs by double digits in
each of the first two quarters,
16-5 in the first and 22-10 in the
second to take a commanding
38-15 lead into halftime.
The paced slowed considerably following intermission.
Burlington still held a 10-6
advantage in the third to lead
48-21 heading into the fourth.
Anderson County held a
meaningless 15-6 advantage in
the fourth with reserves in the
game.
The Bulldogs shot just 25%
from the field and connected on
just 8 of 20 free throws (40%).
The strength of the Bulldogs
is normally inside but
Burlington held a dominating
32-12 advantage in points in the
paint.
Caitlyn Foltz led all scorers
and rebounders with 15 points
and 14 rebounds.
Brooklyn Kurtz tallied 9
points on the night and dished
out 4 assists.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 8, 2022
LOCAL
Even in the dead of winter, signs of warmth are evident
Kim Baldwin, McPherson
County farmer
January generally means
implementing warmer socks,
warmer drinks and warmer
meals on our farm. The days
require additional layers of
work clothes while we load our
stored grain into trucks headed
to feed yards, mills or ethanol
plants. Breakfast at our table
is now enjoyed with the addition of warm mugs of hot cocoa
before the kids have to bundle
up to catch their bus for school.
Meals are planned to intentionally utilize the oven to warm the
kitchen while also making food
that will warm bellies.
Its no secret Im not a fan of
winter. The colder and darker
days do not make me favor this
season in the slightest. In fact, if
I had a choice, Id spend my winter days as far south as possible.
The extra layers, constant
chill and seemingly dreary days
do not bode well with me. They
never have, and I suspect they
never will. Perhaps its because
I was a beach and desert dweller in my childhood. Perhaps
its the many memories from
the early days of my marriage
of cold, newborn calves being
brought inside the house to
get warmed up and healthy.
Perhaps its the idea that my
children cant enjoy recess
outside due to the windchill.
Whatever the reason, winter
will always rank last for me.
Yes, the chill of winter has set
in. And with that, Im constantly on the lookout for reminders
to help me adjust my attitude
and warm my spirit during this
time of the year.
During my daily walk to
check the mail, I look forward
to opening the box to discover a
new catalog highlighting seeds
and gardening essentials. Its a
reminder that spring planting
is near, and I have the opportunity to plan for a future harvest
of homegrown goodies during
these cold days.
The beautifully made quilts
and blankets I have been gifted over time have now been
brought out of storage and
added to the backs of our sitting chairs or spread over beds.
All too often these handmade
treasures seem too heavy or
too hot during the rest of the
year, but now are a perfect
addition. These items not only
offer warmth while I read in
the evenings or snuggle in at
night; they also warm my heart
as I remember those who made
these precious gifts.
Since the winters cold pushes my kids and husband into
Backyard birds need food, water during winter
MANHATTAN,
Kan.
Outdoor gardening may fall
to the wayside in the winter
months, but some bird species
stick around through the cold.
Kansas State University horticulture expert Ward Upham
said food is the resource most
lacking for birds during the
winter, and they will flock to
your feeder.
Different bird species do
prefer different grains, but
black oil sunflower seed has
universal appeal for most species, Upham said. White
proso millet is a second favorite for most species. If you want
your feeder to have broad bird
appeal, then consider putting
out a mix with a high percentage of these seeds.
If you are looking to attract a
particular species, listed below
are some common birds and
their preferred seed. To really up your bird-feeding game,
Upham said, you may also
consider buying multiple feeders for multiple species.
Cardinals, evening grosbeak, most finches: sunflower
seeds, all types.
Rufous-sided towhee: white
proso millet.
Dark-eyed junco: white and
red proso millet, canary seed,
fine cracked corn.
Many sparrows: white and
red proso millet.
Bluejay: peanut kernels and
sunflower seeds of all types.
Chickadees, tufted titmouse: peanut kernels, oil
(black) and black-striped sunflower seeds.

Upham also noted that winters cold means that water
will freeze, making it unavailable to birds. A heated birdbath attracts birds in droves
when all other water is frozen.
If the heated birdbath contains
a built-in thermostat, the energy usage is far less than people
expect.

Colony Christian Church
– Finding Identity
For youth Sunday, Ethan
Prasko gave the Communion
Meditation over Philippians
4:8, which tells us to Fix your
thoughts on what is true, and
honorable, and right, and
pure, and lovely, and admirable. Sometimes it can be
hard to fix your thoughts. You
may be struggling with something or just frustrated. You
have to consciously choose to
think positive thoughts. As
Christians, our goal is to accept
Jesus, make followers of Jesus,
and keep the enemy from making followers. To do that, we
must fix our thoughts on Him.
Ben Prasko was our guest
speaker, and his sermon was
Finding Identity. Our identity is reflected in everything
we do, how we dress, speak and
act. But when what becomes
your identity fails, your selfworth becomes nothing. We
often define our identity as
what people say we are (dumb,
ugly, etc.). We look to others
for approval, attention or love.
When we do this, well do whatever it takes to be accepted by
others. But we cant focus on
pleasing people. Gods plan is
much bigger than that, and we
dont have to be who the world
says we should be. When we
seek approval from others, we
are letting our feelings and
emotions control us. When this
happens, we should pray for
peace and remember that feelings cant be trusted. Feelings
can change, and its how we
react to them thats important.
The world will encourage you
to act on your feelings. Satan
is working to confuse all of us
by redefining what God has
defined: marriage, trust, life,
leaders, etc. Satan knows your
weaknesses and will exploit
them everywhere. He also offers
counterfeit happiness. These
self-entered sins that cause us
to ignore God and will eventually destroy us. He makes us
feel like we dont need God. But
our identity should come from
Christ! He should be in the cen-

KDHE amends travel
related quarantine list
TOPEKA The Kansas
Department of Health and
Environment (KDHE) has
amended its travel quarantine
list to remove the country of
Aruba. The country of Faroe
Islands has been added to the
travel quarantine list. An
unvaccinated individual who
has not had COVID-19 within the last 90 days or those
that have not received all the
recommended vaccine doses,
including boosters and additional primary shots, should
quarantine if they meet the following criteria:
Traveled between Jan. 21
and Feb. 4 to Aruba.
Traveled on or after Feb. 4
to Faroe Islands.
Attendance at any out-ofstate or in-state mass gatherings of 500 or more where individuals do not socially distance
(6 feet) and wear a mask.
Been on a cruise ship or
river cruise on or after March
15, 2020.
The length of a travel-related
at home quarantine is 5 days
after your last exposure with
an additional requirement
to wear a well-fitting mask
indoors and outdoors when
around others for an additional
5 days. If you cannot mask,
at-home quarantine is recommended for 10 days. Quarantine
would start the day after you
return to Kansas or from the
mass gathering. If you do not
develop symptoms of COVID-19
during your quarantine period, then you are released from
quarantine. Regularly check
this list to stay up to date on
travel-related guidance. Please
refer to the KDHE Isolation and
Quarantine FAQ for additional
information.
For those traveling internationally, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC)
is requiring testing within
three days of flights into the
U.S. For further information on
this and other requirements,
visit their website.
For those who meet the following criteria do NOT need to
quarantine:
You are up to date with
your COVID-19 vaccines. This
means that you are ages 5 or
older and have received all
recommended vaccine doses,
including boosters and additional primary shots for some
immunocompromised people
when eligible.
You had confirmed COVID19 within the last 90 days
(meaning you tested positive
using a viral test).
Persons who do not meet
the above criteria should continue to follow current quarantine guidance for travel or
mass gatherings.
The travel quarantine list
is determined using a formula
to evaluate new cases over a
two-week period, then adjusted
for population size to provide
a case rate per 100,000 population. This provides a number
that can then be compared to
the rate in Kansas. Locations
with significantly higher rates
— approximately 3x higher -are added to the list.

COVID-19, please visit the
KDHE website at www.kdhe.

Wildfires Result in Possible
Tax Change
In December 2021, several
communities in Kansas were
devastated by wildfires. The
high winds, storms, and fires
resulted in loss of life, homes,
and livelihoods. In response,
Senate Bill (SB) 318 passed the
Senate 35 to 0. The version
that passed the Senate exempts
sales tax on fencing material
used for agriculture purposes
and allows county commissioners an option to abate property
taxes on any property that has
been more than 50% destroyed.
SB 318 must pass the House
before it can become law.
Redistricting
By the intersection of federal and state law, every 10
years, state legislators and
local governments redraw
district boundaries using
data received from the U.S.
Census. The Senate passed
a U.S. Congressional map
that kept all counties whole
except Pawnee, Douglas, and
Wyandotte. Because of the shift
in population to urban areas
in Kansas, urban districts will
decrease in geographical size,
while rural districts have to
spring, the 100 pounds of cat
food and somewhere between 5
and 10 gallons of milk paid off.
Marc was able to pet the tabby,
now named KitCat. She soon
discovered the joy of a good
scratch behind your ears, and
it wasnt long before both cats
lined up for scratches.
At some point in this long
campaign to convince the cats
to become our pets, I went from
rolling my eyes to a willing
and enthusiastic participant. I
was even the first person to let
them into the house when they
showed signs of curiosity.
By fall, KitCat was living
as a mostly indoor cat with
the personality of a mercurial
princess who spends her days
issuing orders and punishing
those who dare ignore her. She
is funny and sassy, demanding
and sweet, playful and curious.
It became clear by the affection, wrath and possessiveness
that KitCat chose me to be her
human servant. And that fills
my heart with joy and peace.
It was a surprise to realize
I am not apathetic to pets. I let
fear and worry about responsibility color my decisions and
convince me cats werent that
great.
KitCat reminded me that my
capacity to love and serve others will only grow out of necessity. I would not have willingly
sought out this responsibility
but when it landed on me, the
burden was lighter than expected and completely worth it.
We all make excuses and
rationalize our reasons for
not doing the hard things like
volunteering to help, building
relationships with new people,
giving generously or being selfless. Stop letting those excuses
and start asking, who needs
me?
"Insight" is a weekly column
published by Kansas Farm
Bureau, the state's largest farm
organization whose mission is
to strengthen agriculture and
the lives of Kansans through
advocacy, education and service.
increase geographically to
meet population requirements.
The 1st district must increase
considerably geographically to
meet district requirements for
population. There are many
ways to draw the maps but in
an attempt to keep the core
of all existing districts, SB 355
was drawn. (http://www.kslegislature.org/li/b2021_22/measures/ds_maps/map_b_adastra2_2787.pdf) Several maps
were offered during debate on
the Senate floor. I supported a map that would have
kept Franklin, Anderson, and
Miami in the 2nd district, but
it only received 11 Yes votes.
It was clear that a majority
of senators would not support
changing SB 355, which passed
on a final vote of 26 Yes to 9 No.
After the debate, I voted Yes. It
is early in the process, but the
House is considering the same
map this week.
Healthcare
The demands on healthcare workers, the controversy of mandated vaccines, and
other factors have resulted in
a shortage of healthcare workers in Kansas. In response to
the shortage, House Bill (HB)
2477 passed both chambers and
was signed into law, allowing
temporary nursing staff with a
lapsed or inactive license and
students to practice or volunteer at healthcare facilities
until 2023. The bill passed the
Senate 36 to 2. I voted Yes.
Kansas healthcare industry
is on a major collision course
with failure. A very dear friend
was in dire need of care last
week. Hospitals were contacted and after telling them there
werent any beds available,
they were asked, what insurance do you have? Other dear
friends were denied access to
their Mom as she died alone in
a hospital. A doctors practice
has been shut down because of
prescribing off label medication, ivermectin. We need to
increase healthcare workers,
not close their business. These
are not isolated cases. There
has been legislation introduced to protect healthcare
professionals and patients. I
will keep you updated as the
legislation moves through the
process.
It is an honor and a privilege
to serve as your 12th District
State Senator.

A cat tale A story of awakening
Jackie Mundt, Pratt County
farmer and rancher
Our household has only one
rule about pets. We cannot buy
or seek out pets, they must find
and choose us. This rule is not
my creation, but it is easy to
follow because I have always
been apathetic to pets.
I dont dislike animals but
lack an interest in pets. I am not
the person who stops to talk to
dogs in the park or asks about
someones pets with interest
beyond friendliness. Owning a
pet has always seemed like a
chore I want to avoid at all
costs.
Life rarely goes how we
plan. During the polar vortex
cold spell last February, my life
was transformed by the unlikely arrival of two new pets.
At some point in the bitter cold
days, we noticed the appearance of a couple of stray cats.
We knew these cats needed help
surviving the cold spell and put
out food, a heated water bowl
and some straw bales to keep
them dry, warm and full.
The cats continued to show
up for meals, and we began
to learn their personalities.
The female tabby had ninja
stealth, which she used to get
her food. The grey male was
more interested being friends
with the tabby. He followed her
bellowing the most pitiful hello-oh in hopes of becoming her
friend.
She was not impressed. This
created hours of entertainment
for us as we watched him try
to sneak food without alerting
her. We later learned he made
that sound constantly when
he was looking for others.
Fittingly, we named him Hello
Kitty
After a few weeks, milk
was added to our meal offerings in an effort to try to get
close enough to pet them. In the

Newest 4-H projects focus on ag mechanics, architecture
MANHATTAN, Kan. The
Kansas 4-H program has added
a pair of projects that organizers say will help prepare youth
for careers and educational
options in science, technology,
engineering and math, commonly known as STEM.
And, oh by the way, one
approach? Playing with Lego
blocks.
With all of our projects, we
strive to make a connection to
how what youth are doing is
relevant to a potential career,
said Shane Potter, a Kansas 4-H
youth development specialist.
And, how can we set youth
up for success while exploring
educational options.
The states 4-H program
has nearly three dozen projects available to youth. Potter
said the two newest options
agricultural mechanics and
architectural block construction were tested last year and
are now part of the regular
offerings.
These two projects, he
said, help us to further explore
the areas of ag mechanics and
architecture that we knew
were important but we may
not have been addressing to the
full extent that we could be.
The architectural block
construction project is a lot
like what it sounds: it takes
advantage of the popular building blocks made by the Lego
company. Youth are encouraged to construct dioramas and
explore architecture in a three
dimensional space, according
to Potter.
As in all 4-H projects, the
young architects are encouraged to progress in their understanding of design elements,
beginning with a diorama
that includes two features
beyond floors, ceilings and
walls, and eventually progress-
ing to Master (10 years or
more experience) where they
can build a diorama with up
to eight architectural features
and three or more motion elements.
Potter said the architecture
project is unique to Kansas 4-H
and was developed as a result
of hard working 4-H volunteers who are part of the 4-H
STEM action team, he said.
Agricultural
mechanics
focuses on welding and metalsmithing, encouraging youth
to not only learn the skills, but
view them as the foundation of
their own business.
They work with adults and
try things out in a safe way,
and we provide the curriculum
and resources to learn the correct way so they are prepared
when they move on to the next
steps, Potter said.
He added that the Kansas 4-H
program initially started with
the area of welding but hopes
to expand into other areas
like precision agriculture and
leverage university and indus-
2×4
AD
try partners as experts. .
We offered this opportunity
for the first time at last years
Kansas State Fair, Potter said.
We had a lot of interest, and
we had some amazing projects
that were created, even in the
first year. Youth demonstrated a plethora of skills around
welding, not only around what
they learned, but also how they
can apply that to a business
of their own or into the many
areas where people need welders.
Potter said as youth advance
in the agricultural mechanics
project, we hope to create
opportunities to develop and
demonstrate more complex
uses of their skills, such as in
a precision agriculture application. Were always trying to
make our projects better, and
expand them through a connection with a career.
More information about
opportunities available to
youth through Kansas 4-H is
available online, or at local
extension offices in Kansas.

Di,
Darkness descended, enveloping every facet
of my life. Dormant nightmares have been
realized.
Our children & close friends, my guiding light.
Days just linger, nights stretch on forever til the
dawn.
My mind stumbles over our many plans, as my
feet count the miles. The clock chimes the hour,
the days pass & I move on.
The suns rays have no warmth. Snow & ice
cover the land. Even nature cannot hide its pain.
Colors are muted without your smile. Music is
not as festive because of the absence of your
laugh.
Apprehensive looks, awkward conversations
as no one knows what to say. Our close friends
now dazed & confused, wanting to help yet not
knowing how.
Life goes on and so will I.
Please know I will never say goodbye.
For you my love, I ask for the last time.
Will you be my Valentine?
Love always,
Mark
