THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 1-15-2026 / DANE HICKS
A large crowd attended the USD 365 School Board meeting in Ray
Meyer Gym January 8 for a public hearing on a board resolution to close
Greeley Elementary School. A followup meeting saw the passage of the
closure resolution Tuesday night.
Board votes to close Greeley school again
For the second time in
39 years, board says
school costs too much
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT USD 365 School Board
members voted 4-3 Tuesday night
to shutter Greeley Elementary
School after more than 40 years of
on-again, off-again debate, pitting
district claims of its lack of cost
effectiveness against parents contention that smaller classes offer a
better education, particularly for
troubled kids.
Tuesdays meeting at Ray
Meyer Gym was hastily called
Friday following the Thursday,
Jan. 8, public hearing on the
matter that devolved into angry
accusations that board members
came to the hearing with their
minds already made up to close
the school, regardless of the public comment.
Tuesday nights vote came with
little discussion. Board members
Adam Caylor, Skip Landis, Matt
Self and Gina Witherspoon carried the motion made by Self in
favor of the resolution to close
the facility. Anne Marie Strobel,
Roger Shilling and Brian Schafer
voted against closing, after a
previous motion by Shilling to
rescind the resolution died for
lack of a second. The meeting was
the first for Landis and Strobel,
who were seated after their election last November.
The move sets in motion a plan
outlined by Superintendent Ryan
Most to close the school effective at
the end of this school year, restaging the 43 students who attend
there at Garnett Elementary
School. Enrollment information
presented by most at a public
hearing held last week showed
that 51% of Greeley's present K-6
enrollment of 43 students reside
in Garnett. Nineteen preschool
students currently attend one of
40 half-day openings, according
to information Most provide the
Review in December.
Most told those in attendance
at the January 8 public hearing
that continuing enrollment losses
in USD 365 led to a projection of
$242,000 in lost state aid for the
2026-27 school year district wide.
That decline compared with an
estimate of $1 million in annual
expenses to operate the Greeley
facility. In addition, Mosts Jan.
8 presentation outlined several hundred thousand dollars in
needed but not crucial repairs.
Those figures combined with
property tax stress conveyed by
those who attended district listening sessions last fall led to Mosts
proposal to close Greeley, which
was adopted by the board at its
December meeting.
Board president Adam Caylor,
whose own children attended Greeley, told the Review in
December that the increasing
financial pressures on the district
made it harder to justify such a
high per pupil building expense
as the situation presented by the
Greeley school. Most said last
week the closing would result in
no immediate staff layoffs, though
he expected staff attrition to winnow the former Greeley payroll
over the next 2-3 years.
Parents and community mem-
bers at both meetings were
impassioned regarding the issue.
Caylor proposed a motion for
the closure at the conclusion of a
break toward the end of the Jan. 8
hearing after numerous individuals argued for the schools continuance. He was shouted down
by members of the audience who
claimed the board had held no
discussion regarding those public
comments. The motion was later
tabled.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Kansas
Rep. Sharice Davids joined 130
other congressional Democrats
who signed up in opposition to
Title IX protections of womens
sports as part of Tuesdays major
U.S. Supreme Court hearing on
the issue.
Davids, who previously voted
against the Protection of Women
and Girls in Sports Act in 2023,
is among 119 congressmen and 11
Senators all Democrats who
signed an amicus curiae brief urging the high court to strike down
state-level laws banning men in
womens sports. Two of those
state laws are now under review
by the court.
Kansas passed its Fairness in
Womens Sports Act in 2023, a
law banning men from participating in womens
sports at the
high school and
college level,
after legislators
overrode a veto
by
Democrat
Governor Laura
Kelly.
The USSC on
Davids Tuesday heard
arguments in
Hecox v. Idaho and West Virginia

from competing on female sports

state bans, and Idaho and West

CARACAS, Venezuela Kansas
economic and energy analysts say the U.S. capture and
removal of Venezuelan president Nicols Maduro earlier
this month may create ripple
effects for Midwestern fuel,
agriculture, and export markets though most impacts so
far are indirect and developing.
The U.S. military operation
in early January resulted in
Maduros capture and extradition on narcotics-related
charges. His removal created an interim government in
Caracas but left key elements of
the power structure intact.
Reuters reported Jan. 13
that although Maduro has been
ousted, figures like Diosdado
Cabello and elements of the
security apparatus maintain
significant operational control, leaving Venezuela politically unsettled.
Fuel economists say Kansas
is likely to feel the earliest consequences through oil and diesel pricing, depending on how
quickly Venezuelan crude is
redirected into global supply.
Venezuela holds the worlds
largest proven oil reserves,
and its exports have long been
constrained by U.S. sanctions.
According to The Guardian
(Jan. 7), the White House indicated Venezuela may send up
to 50 million barrels of oil to the
U.S. indefinitely, a move that
helped push global oil prices

prices downward in early
January.
Lower oil prices tend to
benefit Kansass diesel-dependent agricultural sector particularly during
spring planting where
fuel costs represent a significant share of operating
expenses for crop producers, trucking firms, and
grain elevators. Kansasbased refiners and distributors, who draw from
regional supply chains
connected to the Cushing
and Gulf systems, could see
reduced price volatility if
Venezuelan barrels re-enter the market consistently.
However, ethanol producers in the state are
watching how the shift
affects fuel blending economics. Venezuelas heavy
crude competes with ethanol-blended gasoline. With
cheaper oil, refiners sometimes reduce ethanol blending when margins narrow,

Analysts note only a small
impact so far.
Kansas grain producers
may also see new export
opportunities if Venezuela
stabilizes enough to resume
larger-scale food imports.
Historically, Venezuela has
relied heavily on imported
wheat, corn, and soybean
meal all top Kansas commodities. Al Jazeera reported Jan. 8 that food distribution became even more
strained after Maduros seizure, but the U.S. may play
a stronger role in managing humanitarian aid shipments. That could create
federally contracted export
demand that Kansas grain
handlers often participate
in.
On the geopolitical side,
some Kansas lawmakers
are monitoring the broader implications. Reaction
in Washington split sharply after the operation. The
Guardian reported Jan. 3
that some U.S. politicians
praised the removal as a
decisive
anti-narcotics
action, while others warned
it risked sending a dangerous precedent for unilateral intervention. Kansas
representatives have not
issued major public statements, but historically
the states delegation has
weighed in on foreign policy actions involving energy
and migration impacts.
Regional military analysts say the situation could
eventually involve National
Guard deployments if the
U.S. expands humanitarian
or stabilization missions.
Kansas Guard units have
previously been involved in
Latin American relief and
training operations, though
no requests have been made
so far.
Another area of potential Kansas impact is workforce demographics. The
WUSF public media network reported Jan. 12 that
Venezuelan migrants in
the U.S. are reacting with
both relief and anxiety
relief at Maduros removal
and concern about returning to an unstable country.
Kansas meatpacking and
agricultural labor markets,
which depend on immigrant labor in communities
such as Dodge City, Liberal,
and Garden City, could see
shifts if Venezuelan migration patterns change in
response to the political
transition.
For now, Kansas economists characterize the
impacts as emerging rather than immediate. Fuel
markets appear modestly
calmer, grain markets are
watching for humanitarian
demand, and immigration
and military effects remain
speculative.
Those sources say
whether Kansas experiences sustained benefits or
volatility depends on how
quickly Venezuelas interim government stabilizes
and whether its massive
oil sector becomes reliably
integrated into U.S.-aligned
supply chains or remains
hampered by internal
power struggles.
at Greeley speaking Jan. 8
told board members their
children had only been able
to thrive because of the
teachers and the class sizes
at Greeley, and swore their
children would transfer
out of district rather than
attend Garnett Elementary
School. Second District
County
Commissioner
and Greeley native Tony
Mersman said he recalled
the closing of Greeley High
School during its consolidation with USD 365 in 1972,
told the board at the Jan.
8 meeting this meeting felt
like deja vu.
Theres a lot of people in this room that went
through this once, so we
feel like were dying a second time, Mersman said.
You killed our town when
you closed the Greeley
High School down, and now
youre trying to close down
the only thing that Greeley
has.
A previous vote in
1987 by the board to close
Greeley eventually resulted
in a district-wide referendum that saved the school
by a 2-1 margin. Falling
enrollment in the district
since the early 2000s however, mirroring most of the
rest of rural Kansas and
the rural Midwest, has put
more financial pressure on
those rural districts to cut
costs while still attempting
to meet state standards.
Opponents of the move
can challenge the resolution if at least 5% of regis-
tered voters in the district
sign a request for review
within 45 days of the resolutions adoption. In that
event the Kansas Board of
Education must conduct an
administrative review of
the districts closure plan.
The state board then
issues an advisory determination on whether the
closure is reasonable
under the totality of the
circumstances and may
recommend modifying or
rescinding the resolution.
If a review is requested, the
district board must hold
a new public hearing to
either reapprove, modify or
rescind the closure resolution after that hearing.

1931 at Kincaid to
Vern and Juanita
(Lamm) Powls.
Besides living
in and around
Kincaid, the Powls
family lived in Iola
a short time before moving to Garnett in 1942. Bob
attended Garnett High
School and married Wanda
Rockers in Garnett on Dec.
12, 1950, at Holy Angels
Catholic Church rectory.
They noted their 75th wedding anniversary in 2025.
Bob was retired from
The Williams Companies,
known formerly as Cities
Service Gas Company,
where he was a roustabout
at the Welda gas storage
facility for about 20 years.
Earlier in his work career,
he worked for Singer
Plumbing & Electric of
Garnett and the Garnett
Municipal Light Plant.
Prior to that, he worked as
a driller in the oil fields
of Kansas and Oklahoma
for six years (including in
the famous El Dorado oil
fields).
Bob was known as a
dependable, hard-working employee and was
skilled at numerous trades
including carpentry, welding, concrete and auto
mechanic. The original
DIY (do-it-yourself) guy, he
enjoyed helping family and
friends with all their home
improvement projects. His
strong work ethic was an
inspiration for his family.
While working the nightshift at the Garnett Light
Plant, he also worked at
building his home during
the daytime in 1963-64.
Sixty-two years later, he
and Wanda were still living
in the home he built.
He recalled his first
job as being a pinboy at
the Garnett bowling alley
just off the town square
where the Gambles store
used to be, before automatic pin-setting machines
became popular. He also
delivered The Kansas City
Star newspaper twice a day
for several years as a teen
on the west side of town.
He was preceded
in death by his parents, his daughter
Patty Miller, brother Bill Powls and
infant sister Sharon
Kay. He is survived
by his wife Wanda,
of the home, son
Powls Mike (and Colleen)
of Olathe, son
David (and Connie)
of Holton, son Dennis (and
Cindy) of Jacksonville,
Fla., and son-in-law Dan
Miller of Garnett. He is
also survived by three
sisters – Shirley Hart of
Rogers, Ark., Molly Jesse of
Wichita and Debbie Wilper
of Garnett; and three sisters-in-law – Wilma Powls
of Garnett, Linda Rockers
of Overland Park and Joan
Rockers of Lees Summit,
Mo. He is also survived by
numerous nephews and
nieces.
He is also survived by
six grandchildren – Brian
(and Natalie) Miller, Lisa
(and Justin) Foltz, Katie
(and Chad) Eck, Eric (and
Carrie) Powls, Michael
Powls and Justine (and
Cameron) Gallet.
His is also survived by
15 great-grandchildren who
called him Grandpa Bob
– Aidan and Sofie Miller,
Riley, Tyler and Rayah
Foltz, Levi and Jared Eck,
Johnny, Kimmie and Lucy
Powls, Paxton, Brisyn,
Aiyden and Rylan Powls
and Jayanna Pommell.

Jesus makes God personal
Jesus makes God personal. In John 14 Philip asks
Jesus to show the disciples
the Father. It is easy not
to believe in something if
we cant use one or all of
our senses to identify it.
We do not do well in the
realm of the unknown and
to the disciples God was an
unknown. Jesus had made
them aware of God but they
were seeking an image. In
John 14:9 Jesus answers
their question. Dont you
know me Philip, even after
I have been among you for
such a long time? Anyone
who has seen me has seen
the Father. In his time
here on earth what the disciples saw in Jesus was the
will of the Father. In John
10:30 Jesus says, I and my
Father are one. This text
signifies a profound unity,
power and shared essence
between Jesus and God
the Father. In Exodus 33:18
Moses asks God to show
me your glory. Gods
response to Moses was, no
one can see my face and
live. Just to use an example of the greatness of God,
God created the sun. We
cannot look for any length
of time at the sun because
of its brightness. If we cannot look at something God
created how could we ever
look upon the creator him-
self. In Revelation 19:11 we
see a very different kind of
Jesus. This verse describes
the vision of heaven
opening to reveal a white
horse, with its rider named
Faithful and True who
judges and wages war in
righteousness symbolizing
Jesus Christ second coming to establish his kingdom and to defeat evil. In
Revelation 21 God pulls
back the curtain slightly so
John the Apostle can see
a new heaven and a new
earth for the old heaven
and earth had passed away.
Not until we pass from this
life and enter Zion, the
Holy City, of God will we
understand how to worship
and serve God. Now we are
before the face of God, then
we will be with God.
Ministry on the
Holiness of God.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, January 15, 2026
Ms. Good is dead because she was dumb
Renee Goods child isnt now motherless because she was victimized by ICE
agents, or even because she found herself
in the wrong place at the wrong time in a
tense situation with them.
Shes dead because of her self delusion
of entitlement and her own stupidity. Like
the ilk she chose to follow, she was so
blinded by hatred of Donald Trump she
was unable to judge reality.
Waves of the similarly hateful nearly
half the country now judge reality the
same way Good did. The lefts rage toward
the president has grown beyond merely
vicious Facebook memes and those hilariously performative video meltdowns over
his election; it has driven states, governors, attorneys general, and city councils
into an unprecedented, coordinated rebellion against federal authority.
Today, nearly a dozen states openly
countermand lawful federal immigration
enforcement, undermining ICE agents
who are enforcing laws passed not by
Trump, but by bipartisan congressional majorities. Immigration statutes are
not Trump laws. They predate him
many by decades. ICE agents are executing the very laws Democrats once supported, including the Immigration and
Nationality Act, various crime-control
statutes, and mandatory detention provisions enacted under presidents Clinton
and Obama.
Yet in sanctuary strongholds
California, Illinois, Colorado, Minnesota,
New York, Oregon, Washington and othersstate leaders have embraced obstruction as a political doctrine. They refuse
ICE detainers. They block cooperation
agreements. They release violent offenders wanted by federal immigration authorities. They incite communities to confront
or impede federal agents. They pass laws
designed not to protect the innocent, but to
prevent the removal of criminal offenders
illegally present in the United States.
Why? Because Trump supports enforcement. And therefore, by their logic,
enforcement must be evil.
This is the irrational reflex that now

bias.
When Trump backed Israels right to
defend itself, left-leaning states and campus activists turned against the Jewish
state and even Jews in those communities
with a fervor unseen in decades. When
Trumps tariffs sought to protect American
manufacturing from China, Democrats
suddenly rediscovered their love of globalist trade structures. When Trump insisted
that biological males should not compete
in girls sports, progressive states rushed
to codify the oppositeeven as female
athletes pleaded for fairness. When Trump
demonstrated strength abroad, whether
confronting Maduro or Iran, the left derided it as recklesswhile offering no serious alternative beyond Biden-style dithering or appeasement.
This isnt policy debate; this is spite.

Connect with your elected leadership
Some states now in open rebellion against United States
Less than 24 hours after 37-year-old
Renee Good was shot dead by an ICE
agent in Minneapolis, two U.S. Border
Patrol officers approached a van parked
in Portland, Oregon.
The agents ordered the two occupants
out of the vehicle. They refused. The foreign nationals then allegedly tried to run
down the officers, who shot and wounded
the pair. They are now in federal custody and expected to survive.
Reaction was swift and predictable.
The Border Patrol guys were condemned
by Oregon officials almost across the
board. This despite the fact that the
migrants are members of the violent
Tren de Aragua gang out of Venezuela
and were involved in a shooting last
July.
In fact, the Border Patrol asked for
help from the Portland Police Bureau in
finding the alleged criminals.
That request was refused.
Portland, where I anchored the news
for a time, is perhaps the most radical left
city in the country and is in open rebellion against the federal government over
immigration law. Mayor Keith Wilson
issued this initial statement: We stand
united as elected officials in saying that
we cannot sit by while constitutional
protections erode and bloodshed mounts.
Portland is not a training ground for militarized agents
Think about how subversive the
Mayors statement really is. He would
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
BILL OREILLY, THE NO SPIN NEWS
rather have violent foreign criminals
roam his city than help the feds track
them down.
Even after the gang members were
exposed, Portland Police Chief Bob Day
told reporters he is reluctant to give out
information because it would be victim
blaming.
Victim blaming? The two migrants
will be charged with gun crimes, among
others, and they are victims?
I dont think Ive ever heard a dumber
sentence from a member of law enforcement in my life.
But Chief Day, Mayor Wilson, and
Oregon Governor Tina Kotek couldnt
care less about public safety. They selfishly pander to the far left. They are in
absolute rebellion against the federal
government.
Same thing in Minnesota, where
Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis
Mayor Jacob Frey actually taunt the
Trump administration for enforcing
immigration law. These two men incite
people like Renee Good to physically
confront armed agents. Minnesota is
another state in rebellion.
We have seen this twice before in
our history. In 1859, the South was
in open rebellion against Washington
over slavery and other things. States like
South Carolina were nullifying federal
laws. The incompetent President James
Buchanan did nothing, as federal facilities were attacked by demonstrators.
The result was the Civil War. More
than a million dead, all told.
Then, in the late 1960s, millions of
American citizens rebelled against the
Vietnam War. Violence broke out.
National Guardsmen killed four protesters at Kent State University.
The Sanctuary movement is a
defiance of established law. President
Trump was elected largely on gaining
control of illegal immigration. He is trying to do that, but leftist resistance has
created a very dangerous landscape.
Two things have to happen going forward. Federal agents must try to de-escalate confrontational situations when
they can. Violence against protesters will
tear the country apart. Arrest lawbreakers later.
And the Justice Department should

President Trump, Greenland is quite a different matter
China, Russia and Iran had to be
alarmed by the display of U.S. power in
Venezuela, but so did Denmark, a NATO
ally of the United States.
In the aftermath of the snatch-andgrab of Nicolas Maduro, Trump spoke to
The Atlantic about his other foreign-policy priorities: We do need Greenland,
absolutely.
It might have been easy not too long
ago to dismiss this as bluster. Not anymore — not after the strikes on the Iran
nuclear program and the Venezuelan
operation. Weve gone from Trump
always chickens out when he was backing off his Liberation Day tariffs to dismiss Trumps threats at your own peril.
Trump doesnt do everything he says,
but almost everything he does do, he
talks about openly beforehand. In this
respect, enemies of the United States
can never complain that they werent
warned — and perhaps allies, too.
Denmark controls Greenland as a
semi-autonomous territory. It colonized
the sparsely populated island several
hundred years ago. Mostly within the
Arctic Circle, Greenland is not desirable
real estate by any typical metric, but has
outsized strategic significance.
As more waters become navigable in
the Arctic Ocean, the top of the world
opens up for greater geopolitical contention. Greenland occupies a crucial spot.
It sits on a key naval lane between the
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
Atlantic and the Arctic, and it has prodigious reserves of critical minerals, and
maybe fossil fuels, as well.
If it fell into our lap, itd be an excellent addition to our territorial holdings.
Theres a reason that American statesmen have long coveted the island.
The problem is that its not currently
available. What are other options? A
lightly armed contingent of U.S. crossing
guards could probably take it over in a
couple of days. The challenge, though, is
political and diplomatic, not military.
A NATO ally seizing the territory
of another NATO ally would obviously
be a grave threat to the integrity of the
alliance. Would Denmark invoke Article
5 against the United States? It has the
makings of a good spoof musical, but its
not something anyone should want to
experience in reality.
Although Trump has said in the past
that he doesnt take military force off
the table — an amazing statement in and
of itself — hes also talked of buying
Greenland. The Danes, though, say its
not for sale, and the Greenlanders dont
want to be bought.
If Trump really pushes the issue and
forces Denmark and NATO into a corner
with the 82nd Airborne ready to go on
an airstrip somewhere, he could probably compel a sale, but itd be courting a
diplomatic crisis and damage the reputation of the United States without enough
upside.
We can almost certainly get whatever
we need from Greenland without violating a friendly countrys sovereignty
or straining a world-historical alliance
to the breaking point. We already have
a missile-defense base there. The 1951
Greenland Defense Agreement between
Denmark and the U.S. allowing us to
keep bases could presumably be updated
and extended. Given the national security importance of rare earths to the
U.S. and NATO, it should be possible to
unlock Greenlands minerals.

a deal. While public pressure gets Trumps back
up, private persuasion -and a warm relationship
— goes a long way. The
Panamanians managed to
get Trump to stop talking
about taking back the
Canal (for now) with prudent concessions.
For his part, Trump
should realize that making everyone in a friendly
nation hate him doesnt
help his cause. His talk of
annexing Canada last year
helped Justin Trudeaus
party survive a national election that it should
have lost. His Greenland
saber-rattling is presumably making it harder for
Denmark to work with him
on sensible cooperation.
If Nicolas Maduro
got what he deserved,
Denmark is a different matter. Even the unsentimental, results-oriented Trump
foreign policy needs to
distinguish between friend
and foe.

HISTORY
Historical gleanings from
past local newspapers.
1876 – 150 years ago
January 21 – We noticed
a wagon from the Blue
Rapids (Marshall County)
woolen factory on our
streets Monday. This is
a disgrace to Southern
Kansas. We have waterpower and wool sufficient
to meet our home demands
if they were utilized.
1886 – 140 years ago
January 16 – Five tramps
were housed and fed at the
public expense the other
night. Would it not be a
good plan to make them
do a little street work to
pay for their board? Shovel
ice from the sidewalks and
crossings, for instance.
1896 – 130 years ago
January 17 – All the services held during the week
of prayer in this city were
well attended. At some of
the evening meetings the
churches were crowded
to their utmost seating
capacity; that at the U. P.
church, Friday evening,
was particularly so.
1906 – 120 years ago
January 16 – Last night,
about 1 oclock, some young
men passing the National
Bank of Commerce noticed
flames in the basement
underneath occupied by
Art Campbell and Dick
Martin. The alarm was
given and in a very short
time the fire boys were at
the fire and had the water
turned on. For a short time,
it looked like the flames
might catch their way up
through the ceiling, into
the Bank building, causing a most destructive
fire, that in all probabilities would have burned all
the buildings in the block.
When the flames had been
put out and the smoke
cleared away it was found
that the fire had started
either in a wastebasket or
back of the mirrors, where
solid towels were stored,
on the south side of the
building near the entrance
to the bath room, and not
from the gas jets or heater
as was first supposed.
1926 – 100 years ago
January 21 – Burglars
entered
the
J.
B.
Hutchinson
hardware
store Sunday night by
sawing off the padlock on
the front door. The condition of the padlock was
noticed by parties passing
the store Monday morning
and Mr. Hutchinson notified. Upon entering the
store and examining the
stock, he found that about
a dozen shotguns and
rifles had been taken, all of
good value, together with
a large number of pocketknives. At this writing no
trace of the robbers has
been found, so far at least,
as is known to the public.
Considering the bulk of the
articles taken they represent a very considerable
sum of money.

in April 2022 that they
allege caused his death. A
probable cause affidavit
issued for her arrest said
a search of the residence at
the time revealed various
illegal drugs and paraphernalia as well as marijuana.
Police also discovered a
substance Kinney told then
was heroin but which toxicology analysis determined
was fentanyl. The affidavit
said Kinney admitted all
the drugs in the residence
including the substance
she provided to Lewis
belonged to her. DNA testing conducted on the needle
of a syringe a witness said
he removed from Lewis
hand when he was found
unconscious in a bathroom
was positive for Lewis
DNA. A lab report said he
had fentanyl and acetal fentanyl. A forensic pathologist named in the document
said toxicity from the drugs
caused Lewis death.
Kinney was finally located
by Wyandotte County officers in August of last year
where she was arrested and
booked into the Anderson
County August 29. She faces
felony first degree murder
and other drug charges. A
hearing in the case is set for
Tuesday, January 20.

Local artists photos on display at Garnett Public Library
There is a new exhibit
at the West Gallery of the
Walker Art Gallery in the
Garnett Public Library. It
is one you will want to see.
The exhibit is composed
of photographs by two local
artists. Tami Heistand and
Jenni Keith, local Garnett
women, have put up a
fantastic exhibit of photographs. Most of them were
taken basically in our own
backyards. Both women
grew up in the Garnett area
and have many similar
experiences.
When inquiring about
their careers, it was discovered they both had started
at young ages.
Tamis
photography
career started with a gift
of a camera for Christmas
when she was ten and
Jennis started with a cam-
era at age twelve.
Both women are self
taught using YouTube videos, photography books,
and online classes and are
always trying to incorporate new techniques in
their work.
You might remember
Tami had a display of Lake
Garnett photographs taken
with her cell phone. Jenni
has some of her work dis-
played on the east wall of the
Garnett Library. Jennis
favorite thing to photograph is Senior Pictures
and Families. Tami loves
photography because of the
joyful feelings she receives.
Please take some time
to enjoy and support these
local women. Their exhibit
will be up until the end of
February.

Viking boys cruise past SCC
Lady Vikings overwhelm SCC
RICHMOND Central
Heights shook off a tough
Friday loss in emphatic fashion Monday night,
overwhelming Southern
Coffey County 7512 in front
of an energetic home crowd
at Ike Cearfoss Gymnasium
on Buddy Welch Court.
It was an important
boost for the team as they
suffered three losses over
a 7-day stretch to Anderson
County, Uniontown and
Pleasanton since the new
year.
The Vikings set the tone
early, sprinting to a 154
first-quarter lead before
stretching the margin to
396 by halftime. A dominant 25-point third quarter pushed the lead to 649,
allowing Central Heights to
go deep into their bench in
the fourth quarter.
RICHMOND The Central
Heights Lady Vikings
imposed their will from the
opening tip Monday night,
rolling past Southern
Coffey County 4917 in a
dominant home conference
victory.
Central Heights jumped
out to a 152 lead in the first
quarter and never looked
back, matching the total
again in the second frame
Head
coach
Rusty
Cannady said he was
impressed by how quickly
his team refocused after the
emotional toll of Fridays
defeat.
Playing a game on
a Monday following a
tough loss on Friday to
Pleasanton, I thought our
kids were pretty focused
and disciplined, Cannady
said. Southern Coffey
came in short a few kids
due to illness and competed
pretty well for as young as
they are.
Cannady credited his
teams shooting performance as the key to the
runaway outcome. Our
kids shot the ball extremely
well tonight. When the ball
goes in the hole, the game is
pretty easy, he said.
Despite it being a
Monday game with the
junior high squads on the
road, Cannady praised the
turnout and atmosphere
the fans created. Our fans
continued showing up for
these kids. The student section was great along with
the best band in the area.
Thanks again for everyones support.
Colt King led the Vikings
with 20 points. Three other
Vikings hit double figures
as Kreig Garrett, Chase
Bones and Payton Miller
added 13, 11 and 10 points
respectively.
Other scorers were
Ethan Kraft with 8, Aydan
Dunbar had 5, Roarke Brock
added 4 and Max Chrisjohn
and Aiden Howland each
chipped in with 2.

Makenzie Moon fueled
the Vikings offensively,
finishing with 14 points
while shooting an efficient 6-of-8 from the floor
and adding two rebounds,
seven assists and three
steals. Lily Burkdoll posted
9 points on a perfect 4-of-4
inside the arc and a 1-for-1
mark from the three-point
line.
Ella Stinson added 6

and Mya Jumet scored
4 while grabbing three

4th quarter drought dooms Lady Vikings
RICHMOND Central
Heights came up just short
Friday night in a tight
defensive contest, falling
2624 to the Pleasanton
Blu-Jays at home despite
leading 22-16 entering the
fourth.
The Vikings led 54
after the first quarter and
knotted at 10 heading into
halftime, but the game
opened up in the third
when Central Heights put
together its strongest offensive stretch of the night.
A 12-point third quarter
pushed the Vikings ahead
2216, giving them momentum entering the final
frame.
Pleasanton, however,
surged late. The Blu-Jays
outscored Central Heights
10-2 in the fourth quarter
to cap an impressive comeback, leaving the home
crowd stunned.
Central Heights was led
by Makenzie Moon, who
scored 7 points and contributed 7 rebounds and 2
assists. Carly Matile added
6 points while shooting 3-of4 from the field and collecting 10 rebounds.
Ashley Harkins chipped
in 4 points, Arabella
Dunbar added 2 points
along with 3 rebounds and
2 assists.

LA CYGNE The
Anderson County Bulldogs
delivered one of their most
complete performances of
the season Tuesday night,
overpowering the Prairie
View Buffaloes 7545 on the
road behind a barrage of
scoring from multiple contributors.
Anderson County set
the tone early, pushing
ahead 1912 after the opening quarter. The Bulldogs
kept momentum rolling
into halftime, outscoring
Prairie View 1511 in the
second quarter to take a
3423 lead into the break.
The
third
quarter
belonged to the Bulldogs
offense. Anderson County
erupted for 22 points in the
frame. Holding a firm 5639
advantage entering the
final period, the Bulldogs
put an exclamation mark
on the win by dominating
the fourth quarter 196.
Brayden Wheat powered
the Bulldogs attack with
a game-high 30 points.
Brylan Sommer added 16
points and Dylan Hoffman
contributed 14 points, giving Anderson County three
players in double figures.
Beau Howey added 8
points, while Aidan Perez
chipped in 4 points. Aidan

DAVIDS…
FROM PAGE 1
That bill passed the
House but stalled in the
Senate.
At the time, Davids
said decisions about
student participation
should largely remain
with parents, educators,
and local school districts
rather than being determined through federal
mandates. Her vote drew
criticism from advocacy
groups arguing that such
restrictions were necessary for athletic fairness
and safety of women who
are typically at a physical disadvantage to men.
Davids is a former
Mixed Martial Arts athlete who fought in the
womens division as
an amateur in 2006 and
fought as a professional
in 2013 and 2014. Davids
has refused to say in
answer to media questions in regard to her
votes on the issue whether she would have been
willing to fight a man
during her MMA career.
Her era in the sport
had its own controversies involving male-born
competitors.
Illinois
fighter Fallon Fox, fighting in the womens division, fractured his opponent Tamikka Brents
skull in a 2014 fight, leading to debates about fairness and regulations for
trans athletes in combat
sports. Brents at the time
described her defeat:
Ive fought a lot of
women and have never
felt the strength that I
felt in a fight as I did that
night, she told MMA
webstie cagepotato.com.
I cant answer whether
its because she was born
a man or not because Im
not a doctor. I can only
say, Ive never felt so
overpowered ever in my
life and I am an abnormally strong female in
my own right. Her grip
was different, I could
usually move around in
the clinch against other
females but couldnt
move at all in Foxs
clinch.
This incident, along
with others like former
male-born Army Special
Forces soldier Alana
McLaughlins professional debut in 2021,
sparked intense scrutiny
and discussions within
the MMA community
and regulatory bodies.
The 130-member congressional brief filed
with the Supreme Court
reflects a murky interpretation of Title IX.
Organized by Democratic
leaders including Rep.
Becca Balint and Rep.
Teresa Leger Fernndez,
the brief argues that state
bans actually violate
Title IX and the Equal
Protection Clause of the
Fourteenth Amendment.
It asserts that exclusions
based on biological sex
a founding principle of
Title IX harm transgender students by stigmatizing them and creating
barriers to participation
in school activities. It
also maintains enforcement of bans could subject girls to invasive
scrutiny of their genitals
to determine sex.
Proponents of the
bans filed competing
briefs arguing that physical advantages associated with male puberty can
affect fairness in competitive female athletics and
that states have legitimate authority to protect
womens and girls sports
categories. Idaho and
West Virginia argued
that without categorical
bans, state athletic associations face confusion,
litigation exposure, and
disputes over competitive equity.
The Supreme Courts
ruling, expected later
this year, is likely to
have sweeping national
implications. Depending
on the outcome, the
Court could either affirm
states authority to
impose categorical bans
or determine that such
prohibitions violate federal anti-discrimination
law, setting a uniform
national standard.
Davids
participation in the amicus brief
signals her continued
alignment with the
Democratic caucus to
oppose traditional Title
IX protections for womena position she has
consistently maintained
during her tenure.
Davids office has not yet
replied to an email seeking the congresswomans
comments on Tuesdays
hearing.
