Detention hearing set
for youth accused in fire
that destroyed church
Hearing is similar to
a preliminary court
appearance, decision

Elected officers for Anderson County were formally sworn in Monday
during a brief ceremony in Anderson County District Court. From left,

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A detention
hearing is set January 21 in
Anderson County District
Court to determine whether
a 16 year-old Colony youth
accused in the burning of
Colonys Community Church
will be held in detention or
released while awaiting further court proceedings.
Kaiden Robb was arrested
in connection with the fire and
for an additional felony charge
related to brandishing a knife
at a family member. He was
removed from the smoke-filled
church by a county sheriffs
deputy responding to the call
and taken to Anderson County
Hospital for observation. The
fire was brought under control
initially but flared up again
Friday, completely claiming
the church building.
In Kansas, a juvenile detention hearing is essentially a
preliminary hearing with the
purpose of deciding if the juvenile poses a risk to themselves
or others or is likely to flee
before further court proceedings. Judges typicallyconsider
factors like
the severity
of the alleged
offense, the
youth's prior
record, and
the
ability of their
parents or
Robb guardians to
control their
behavior.
Detention at a juvenile facility
can be ordered by the court if
the judge determines probable
safety risks, flight risk or other
evasion of upcoming proceedings.
Community-based detention
or electronically monitored
home detention are possibilities in the court determination. Officials said Robb has
been undergoing evaluation
at a juvenile facility since his
arrest.
County wants Sentencing delayed for Kincaids Rev Dr. Kev influencer
vandals to
fix damages
BY DANE HICKS
Commissioners hope
repairs can be part of
court ordered restitution
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
BUSH CITY Teen vandals
who rutted up the hay meadow
which provides the only county revenue associated with the
Swank Park wilderness area
near Bush City may pay their
restitution a shovel full at a
time.
County
commissioners
agreed Monday to request
newly-elected county attorney
Steve Wilson present the repair
of the vehicle ruts left in the
property as part of sentencing
or any plea agreement that will
follow the criminal vandalism
case to be brought against the
youths involved in connection
with the recent incident, in
which they allegedly fled the
scene after disabling the vehicle in the moisture-softened
hay ground.
Thats what Id like to see,
said 1st District Commissioner
Les McGhee, Id like to see
them have to out there and get
a shovel and fix it themselves.
The incident follows county
efforts in recent months to find
heirs to the Swank family that
bequeathed the 160 acre plot
to the county in the mid-1980s
as long as its used for outdoor
recreation. Commissioners in
latter 2024 decided the park
was more trouble than it was
worth and hoped to give it back
to any surviving heirs, until
area side-by-side enthusiasts
pledged to take a management
interest in the park in order
to keep available for public
use. Those volunteers helped
sleuth-out the vandals, commissioners said on Monday.
The county leases the hay
meadow annually to farmers
for hay harvest. The remainder of the park is rugged wooded area and waterway.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Sentencing on
the latest conviction for child
molestation for career criminal
Kevin LaBelle, who once promoted himself as social media
influencer The Rev Dr. Kev,
counseling fellow ex-convicts,
has been moved back to the end
of March at at the conclusion
of Mondays initial sentencing
hearing in Anderson County
District Court.
LaBelle, 50, pled to an
amended single felony criminal sodomy charge after a plea
deal that reduced the initial
five sodomy and exploitation of
a child charges and a single distribution of marijuana charge
filed against him in connection
with his February 2024 arrest.
The primary charges involved
allegations he engaged in sex
with a 15 year-old boy and photographed sex acts with the
youth to possess or distribute.
A pre-sentence investigation
report showed LaBelle with
numerous forgery and theft
charges in Segwick County
in the early
1990s as well
as a previous
adjudication as a sex
offender as
a juvenile in
1988 for indecent liberties

PowerSchool program hack
affects some 50 million students,
including those in Kansas
BY PATRICK RICHARDSON
THE SENTINEL
OLATHE Parents in much of the country have become accustomed to using an
online platform called PowerSchool to
keep up with their childrens grades, but
that platform was recently the subject of
a massive data breach, affecting the data
of more than 50 million students across
the country.
Multiple districts across Kansas were
affected, including Andover, Buhler,
Haysville and Rosehill public schools.
This was brought to the attention of
the Kansas State Board of Education by
Olathe resident Patty Lanter who said
student data breaches affect the safety,
privacy and future of our children in
Kansas.
Lanter noted that academic and disciplinary records are in the hands of third
party corporations, when districts use
platforms such as PowerSchool.
KWCH-TV reported that, in Andover,
at least, the breach did not seem to include
data such as financial information, social
security numbers, or photographs.
However, according to USA Today,
schools were not notified for more than
two weeks after the breach and contrary to what Andover said, social security numbers may well have been obtained.
Names, addresses, birth dates and
Social Security numbers were among the
information hackers obtained using a
users credentials to log into a customer
service portal, USA Today reported.
According to the outlet, the federal government says cyberattacks and
online threats are an increasingly significant and widespread problem for
schools in the U.S., and the nonprofit K12
Security Information Exchange claims
that between 2016 and 2022, there were
1,619 cyber incidents striking K-12 schools
across the country.
PowerSchool hacked on December 19, 2024
The breach apparently began on Dec.
19, 2024 and ended nine days later on
Dec. 28. Hackers appear to have used
a PowerSchool remote support tool to
access the data of an unknown number of
districts.
PowerSchool Holdings Inc. serves over
60 million students and 18,000 customers
in almost 100 countries around the world.
As soon as we learned of the incident,
we immediately engaged our cybersecurity response protocols and mobilized a
cross-functional response team, including senior leadership and third-party
cybersecurity experts, the company said
in a statement on Monday.
Industry site TechCrunch said the
breach involved significant amounts of
student information.
PowerSchool hasnt said how many
of its school customers are affected,
TechCrunch reported. However, two
sources at affected school districts who
asked not to be named told TechCrunch
that the hackers accessed troves of personal data belonging to both current and
former students and teachers.
In our case, I just confirmed that

on the Kansas Sex Offender
Registry. In 2008 he won a partial appeal of his sentencing
as a persistent sex offender in
a 2005 conviction for sexual
exploitation of a child, after
arguing court officials included his juvenile adjudication
when considering extending
his sentence on a separate 1991
exploitation conviction.
LaBelle, who claimed a
graduate certificate from a
Kansas City-based seminary
correspondence school, lived
in Kincaid and operated his
online ministry Barz2Bricks
for ex-convicts nationwide,
claiming some 10,000 followers
on his Youtube channel. A representative from the Christian
Bible College and Seminary
told the Review LaBelle never
received his ministerial credentials because he never
returned study materials a
requirement for the course.
LaBelles sentencing is set
for March 31.
Wilper gets maximum sentence
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Anderson County
District Judge Eric Godderz handed
down the maximum allowable penalty against convicted child molestor
Joseph Wilper in a January 8 sentencing, giving Wilper 27.5 years in
state prison without eligibility for
parole for 23 years.
Wilper was convicted October 28 in
a three-day jury trial on six related
felonies involving indecent liberties
with a child, aggravated incest and
criminal sodomy and rape. The victim, Wilpers daughter, was between
the ages of 14 and 16 at the time the
assaults occurred.
The sentence reflects the maximum
prison time allowable according to
the states sentencing grid. Wilper

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 1-16-2025 / REVIEW ARCHIVE
Weather forecasts called for a high of 47 degrees today with lots of sun followed by 54 degrees on Friday, which should bring about some melting of the
stubborn packed snow and ice accumulations that make some areas treacherous. Cold weather will return Saturday topping in the 20s and upper teens
through next Wednesday, with temperatures in the upper 30s headed our way
at the end of next week.

Former Burlington teacher &
wrestling coach sentenced
COFFEY COUNTY A 32-yearold former Burlington High
School teacher and wrestling coach
was sentenced
Thursday in
Coffey County
District Court
related to the
sexual abuse
of two teens.
Linden
At a sent e n c i n g
hearing at 1:30 p.m. on Jan.
9, a judge sentenced Michael
Vander Linden, of Burlington,
to 36 months in prison and
lifetime registration as a registered offender for three counts
of aggravated indecent liberties with a child. Coffey County
Attorney Wade Bowie prosecuted the case.
On Oct. 31, 2024, Michael
Vander Linden pleaded no
contest to the three counts of
aggravated indecent liberties
with a child. The remaining
charges were dismissed.
On Feb. 13, 2024, Kansas
Bureau of Investigation (KBI)
agents obtained an arrest warrant and took Vander Linden
into custody after two former students reported he had
engaged in sexual intercourse
with them between 2012 and
2013, when both were 15-yearsold.
Following the hearing,
Vander Linden was remanded
to the custody of the Coffey
County
Sheriffs
Office
where he will be transferred
to the Kansas Department of
Corrections to fulfill his sentence.

need to gain about 500 pounds
in about 150 days — making it
about 5-6 months before that
steer will be ready for processing.
With home-raised steers,
we have to be a little more cautious than with feedlot animals
because they are getting grain
and free choice hay separately, Lancaster said. We are
trying to keep them from experiencing acidosis and other
digestive issues.
He recommended the 850pound steer be offered 10
pounds of grain-protein mix
per day to start with and then
increase that amount to 20
pounds per day at half-pound
increments every 2 days. After
that, he advises increasing the
amount of grain-protein mix
offered by one-half pound per
month for 2 months, then hold
the amount of grain-protein
mix offered steady until the
steer reaches the optimum finish.
With that feeding strategy, Im trying to get him to a
diet that is 15% roughage and
85% grain and protein mix,
Lancaster said.
Dietary plan for steers
MANHATTAN Many people maintain a garden in the
summer and enjoy eating the
bounty of their homegrown
produce. Similarly, cattle producers raise freezer beef for
themselves and to share with
family and friends.
On a recent Kansas State
University Beef Cattle Institute
Cattle Chat podcast, a listener
asked how to take an 850-pound
steer to finish weight on the
farm.
Finished in this context
means when the steer is reaching physiologic maturity, so
they have adequate fat cover
on them and they are also
depositing intramuscular fat,
said K-State beef cattle nutritionist Phillip Lancaster.
He defines a finished steer
to have about one-half inch of
backfat over the rib, and their
body condition score will be
around eight or nine.
With a starting weight of
850 pounds and a goal end
weight of around 1,350 pounds,
Lancaster said that steer will

BURNS
MAY 15, 1940 – JANUARY 10, 2025
Sharon Kay Burns, 84,
Eudora, KS, passed away
peacefully on Friday, January
10, 2025, surrounded by her
loving family. Sharon
was born
on
May
15, 1940, in
Ottawa, KS,
the daughter of Earl
Leon and
Burns
Marjorie
Laverne
(Capper)
Clary. She graduated from high
school in Baldwin City, KS and
then completed Cosmetology
School in Lawrence, KS.
Sharon was united in marriage to Elwood Woody
Burns in 1961. Their marriage
was blessed with two children, Deana Kay, and Michael
William. Sharon worked for
most of her life as a talented beautician, owning and
running her own salon in the
basement of their family home
as well as other area salons.
Sharon was always the picture
of perfection from her hair and
makeup to her beautifully manicured nails.
Sharon was again united
in marriage in the spring of
2000 to Fred Bohm, who shared
her love for travel. Sharon and
Fred were married until his
passing in 2022.
Throughout her life Sharon
was known for her classy elegance and uplifting and bright
personality. She never met a
stranger. She had a unique
gift for making everyone feel
seen, heard, and loved, whether
through her warm hugs, her
infectious laugh, or her knack
for turning even the simplest
gatherings into unforgettable
celebrations. A social butterfly
with a heart for connection,
she thrived in the company of
others, lighting up every room
with her charm. Her infectious
smile effortlessly spread light
and love wherever she went.
Her generosity knew no
bounds, and her hugs were leg-
endaryhealing, heartfelt, and
unforgettable. She had a way
of making each person feel like
they were family, and in her
eyes, they were. Her life was a
testament to kindness, compassion, and the power of human
connection.
Above all, Sharon loved
her family fiercely. She was a
devoted mother/grandmother/
aunt/sister, and her love was
the foundation of the entire
family. She is survived by her
children, Michael (Eileen)
Burns and Deana (Patrick
Mosiman) Alvarez; grandchildren Chelsea (Chance)
Doherty, Remington (Adam)
Peterson, Cambree Burns,
Olivia Burns (JD Van Horn),
Chelsii (Harrison) Fountain,
Maximillian Alvarez, Logan
Alvarez, and Vincent Alvarez;
sisters Marilyn Sue (Stephen)
Coon and Carol Ann (Kenneth)
Hopkins;
great-grandchildren Maddex Doherty, Brooks
Doherty, Quinnlyn Doherty,
Mason Foltz, Grace Foltz, Alice
Foltz, Hadley Fountain, Roman
Fountain, Paxton Alvarez,
and Zea Alvarez, 3 nieces and
3 nephews and many close
friends. Sharon was preceded in death by her parents,
husband Woody, and brother
Steven Clary.
We will forever cherish her
unconditional love and unwavering presence. She was our
rock, our light, and the embodiment of all that is beautiful
in this world. Her legacy of
compassion, elegance, and joy
will continue to inspire all who
knew her.
A celebration of Sharons
life was held January 14, 2025,
at Warren-McElwain Mortuary
in Eudora.
Memorial
contributions
may be made in Sharons name
to Eudora Food Pantry and
may be sent in care of WarrenMcElwain Mortuary, 120 W.

Farm and French toast preparation
Kim Baldwin, McPherson
County farmer and rancher
By the time this column hits
the presses, the first significant
winter weather system of 2025
will have arrived. For our area,
the weather experts are all forecasting periods of ice, strong
winds, extreme cold and heavy
snow.
The winter storm watch
notifications have been constant on my phone. Road crews
have already started treating
the roads and people have been
making their way to the grocery store to stock up.
It is no longer a calm before
the storm.
The term French Toast
Warning is being used to
describe this incoming weather
event, which is basically suggesting people get to the store
and stock up on all of the essentials for French toast including
eggs, milk and bread.
Im an early prepper, so I got
all of my ingredients before the
masses did. Early prepping is
something we have to do during
this time of the year, because
we aren't just preparing our
household for the weather; we
are having to prepare the farm
for the weather as well.
Machines need to be winterized, fuel tanks need to be filled,
equipment needs stored.
Since there's a chance of losing power with this storm, the
generator is at the ready, propane tanks are topped off, flashlights and lanterns are charged
and batteries are tested. The
cabinet doors under the sinks
have been opened and water
jugs are filled.
With or without power,
the animals still need cared
for. Straw bales are moved
and spread to provide warm
bedding for the animals. Hay
bales are strategically placed
for future feedings. Ice breaking tools are brought out, and
the heavy-duty winter choring
clothes are hanging near the
back door.
A pile of old towels are at
the ready for use on floors to
combat wet and muddy boots
or to wrap up and dry off tiny
newborn lambs since we are
currently in the middle of lambing.
Its my hope that our storm
prepping is not needed, but
after an incredibly brutal
January in 2024 that kept the
kids home more than they were
at school, roads continually
drifted shut, and farmers and
ranchers working around the
clock to care for their livestock,
its wise to be ready.
Even if this anticipated first
winter storm of 2025 ends up
being all that is described,
maybe, just maybe, well be able
to use the ingredients from our
pre-winter weather grocery run
and get to enjoy some warm
French toast in between feeding, watering and caring for our
livestock during this first winter storm of 2025.

WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
an alien to my own mothers
sons; for zeal for your house
consumes me. In the New
Testament it is Jesus, when he
clears the temple that illustrated this zeal so well his disciples
remembered that it is written.
Zeal for your house will consume me.
It was Saul of Tarsus who
became consumed with this
zeal. His life was turned around
on the road to Damascus. John
the apostle was so consumed
by this zeal he was exiled to the
island of Patmos for his final
years. All these men had one
thing in common, they allowed
God to write the story of their
life. The degree of zeal you
have for God will determine
Gods involvement in your life.
That will become a daunting
task, however can we afford
to ignore our eternal destiny?
The power God will impart to
us if we choose far outweighs
the benefits of the world. Will

In Isaiah 9 the prophet foretells the birth of the Savior. He
speaks of the future reign of
Jesus. In 9:7 he says, Of the
increase of his government and
peace there will be no end. He
will reign on Davids throne
and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with
justice and righteousness from
that time on and forever, The
zeal of the LORD Almighty will
accomplish this. By referring
to Davids reign he paints a
picture of prosperity and
peace, truly a golden era for
the Hebrew people. Isaiah is
referring to the future rule and
reign of Jesus. Establishing
justice and righteousness in a
broken world, then as well as
now will require a special trait.
The prophet describes this
trait as the zeal of the LORD
Almighty. It was that zeal that
drove the prophets in the Old
Testament. They were hated
and mistreated even killed for
the very thing that inspired
them.

his very life after destroying
the prophets of Baal (1 Kings

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, January 16, 2025
OPINION
Mondays new era cant come too soon
Time and magnitude dictate that most of us
can only remember a handful of true watershed
moments for our country, like the one that
will ceremonially define a new era this coming
Monday with the presidential inauguration of
President Donald Trump, 2.0.
The Tet Offensive; Watergate; the Iran hostage
crisis and its disastrous rescue attempt, and
their monumental hurried release on the day
of Ronald Reagans 1981 inauguration; the 9/11
attacks and everything that followed. They were
all red-letter events in American politics and
culture, but there is solid evidence that no other
pivot in the past 50 years has been as politically
and culturally abrupt, crucial and far-reaching
as the one weve witnessed in recent years.
Through that time weve seen the utter acceptance and proliferation of leftist dogma distinctly counter to American culture and even
in some cases reality itself. It was signified by
the domestic embrace and influence of terrorist
groups like Black Lives Matter and Hamas. It
was maintained by the forced introduction and
acceptance of diversity, equity and inclusion
through peer groups on the general population,
institutions and government.
It chronicled the rise and fall of the transgender power movement, revelations of the
barbarity in chemical and surgical sex changes
practiced on children, and the eventual organic
reawakening of masculinity as a social, cultural and personal value. It witnessed first the
embrace, then repudiation, of mob mentality
cancel culture and social media fact checkers who sought to steer reality and public
discourse the direction they selected.
This short era going back a half dozen years
or so both witnessed and revealed levels of
governmental corruption unequaled in the previous 50 years. This cabal fabricated bogus civil
and criminal prosecutions aimed at ending the
political career of its rival and the eventual
president-elect. Its elements in law enforcement
and the courts purposefully ignored damning
evidence linking the sitting President and his
son to past influence peddling, all electronically
captured on a wayward laptop and cell phones.
While this dark movement sought to radically capsize American culture and thwart its
only possible political redemption, Biden as the
Leftist puppet seemed to specifically target the
American people for hardship. The untenable
consumer inflation initiated by freewheeling
government spending; a mothball policy for
the nations former energy independence and
national serfdom to Arab petroleum lords that

kept energy prices high; draconian measures
attempted sometimes successfully under
the guise of pandemic control; the adoption of
failure and incompetence presented as noble
humanitarian success in Afghanistan; the literal laying down of the nations southern border as invitation for massive populations of
illegal immigrants into the country, many of
them criminals; the gaslighting of America
through the insistence that some men are actually women – one which demoted the fairer sex
to be termed birthing/menstruating persons
and subjugated them to the men seeking to steal
their athletic honors and accolades and invade
their bathrooms and private spaces.
While were inventorying cliches, why not
offer up the darkest night brings about the
brightest day? What better way to define this
sunrise, four years after the beginning of the
Biden presidency and its irredeemable ladening
of American society, economics and culture?
Like the toppling of the germ-defeated
alien machines in H.G. Wells The War of
The Worlds, this sinister plot against America
seems to be unraveling faster every day. DEI
policies once heralded by American companies
are dying on the vine due to their expense,

Justin Trudeau in Canada is surrendering amid

You know I hate it when farmers or anybody
in business in our community is having a hard
time, but the farmer who called the Phone
Forum talking about all his problems needs to
remember other people in business who are
having a hard time dont have a government
safety net under them with a guaranteed market for their products. Mom and pop shops and
single proprietors, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, they dont have a guarantee theyll sell
anything, and they cant collect unemployment
on themselves. Im sorry youre having a hard
time, but there are those who have it worse than
you. Thank you.
Dane, I know you say to take what you hear on
public radio with a grain of salt and heres a
good example why. There was a story on Kansas
Joe Biden shows us the real threat of the Lame Duck
Joe Biden will not go gently into that good
night.
The lame duck president seems to be doing as
much damage as he can before Donald Trump is
sworn in Jan. 20.
To learn the true character of someone, see
how they act when they know there are no
repercussions for their actions. There are sayings designed just for this scenario, like When
the cats away, the mice will play.
Its one thing to have the kids running amok
at home when mom and dad make a quick trip
to the grocery store.
Its something quite different when it is an
elected official doing something similar when
they are no longer beholden to the people who
put them in office.
Elections take place in early November, but
the new office holders do not take their seats
until January, leaving a two-month period of
unchecked actions.
Weve seen this happen in Liberal, Kansas,
when Connie Seigrist and Taylor Harden were
elected to the Liberal City Commission years
ago.
While they waited to be seated, the majority
of the existing commission under the leadership
of then Mayor Joe Denoyer opted to create a new
contract for embattled City Manager Mark Hall.
Denoyer worked up a contract with city staff
that had no termination date and would have
provided a $400,000 golden parachute if Hall was
fired. This was done when Denoyer no longer
had to answer to the voters since he chose not to
KANSAS COMMENTARY
EARL WATT, THE LEADER & TIMES
run for re-election.
The new commissioners in front of a packed
room opted to terminate Hall anyway on their
first night in office, and thank goodness the
court agreed with the new commission that
Denoyer and his fellow commissioners could not
tie the hands of the next commission with such
an outlandish contract.
Also during the lame duck period Denoyer
took part in an accusation that county citizens
Don and Nancy Parsons were bribing candidates like Harden to run to fire Hall.
The Parsons basically had to prove their
innocence to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation
by providing financial records proving they had
not provided any bribes to candidates.
The investigation concluded that the changes
in city government occurred because of a shift
in the political winds, but the chilling effect of
being investigated by the KBI was accomplished
with the hope of silencing anyone else who may
want to challenge elected officials or future city
management.
This all occurred or was initiated during
the lame duck period. If the lame ducks had
their way, new commissioners would have been
intimidated from making any changes in city
management, and the public would have been
afraid to challenge leadership for fear of being
accused of bribery and being investigated by the
KBI.
There have been no apologies for these actions
that would have cost the taxpayers almost half a
million dollars.
Thats the danger of the lame duck period on
the local level.
At the national level, its even worse.
Biden unilaterally decided, two weeks before
his single term comes to an end to prevent any
offshore oil drilling in 625 million acres of federally controlled area.
Why?
He wants to make it as hard as possible for
Trump to reduce fuel costs for you and me. He
wants to do anything he can to make the next
administration struggle.
And when did he decide to take this action?
During the lame duck period when he is beholden to no one.
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has statSEE WATT ON PAGE X
Public Radio from a reporter named Frank
Morris about how Trumps deportation law
was going to hurt the beef processing industry
in Kansas and how it was going to make the
cost of beef go up even higher because they
have so much trouble finding labor for those
processing plants. The whole story goes on
and on about how Trump is going to be bad for
Kansas because of this, and in the whole story
they never once mention that Trumps deportations are going after illegal immigrants, not
immigrants who are here legally with one sort
of documentation or another. Even the example of the Haitian woman they talked about in
this story was documented and in the system.
This was nothig but an attempt to scare people out of supporting Trump deporting these
illegals and criminals and rubbing their noses
in the fact all those western Kansas counties
voted for Trump. I appreciate your paper and
your views. Thank you.
My fellow farming friend described farming
perfectly last week. He is spot on. We are
screwed before we even plant a seed with these
prices. The only thing Id add is instead of losing a few thousnad a the end o the year most of
us hae lost tens, even hundres of thoushas. If
we seem pissed off htats a good chance why./

Environmental bureacracy left L.A. primed for wild fire tragedy 12 Dist. Sen. Caryn Tyson
In early September 2020, a wall of flames
whipped through Big Creek Canyon northeast of
Fresno, Calif., approaching Shaver Lake and the
small village on its western shore.
The Creek Fire was one of the most aggressive wildfires that many of the states firefighters had ever battled. Over several months it
burned more than 379,000 acres, making it one
of the largest single fires in California history,
according to news accounts.
But while Shaver Lake was directly in the
fires path that September, the village and the
forest surrounding the lake were mostly spared
from its wrath.
Land and fire experts say they know why:
For decades, leaders with the utility responsible
for maintaining the forest have been actively engaged in what is called total-ecosystem
management they remove dead trees and
set small, prescribed burns to thin the ground
cover, greatly reducing the fuel available for
mega-scorchers like the Creek Fire.
More than four year later, massive fires
around Los Angeles have burned more than
35,000 acres around the nations second most
populous city, killing at least ten people and
destroying thousands of homes, businesses, and
public buildings.
And while the topography is different the
fires around L.A. are burning the chaparral
landscape in the mountains and foothills around
the city, not in forests the lesson is the same,
said Edward Ring, director or water and energy
policy at the conservative California Policy
Center: The L.A. fires have gotten out of hand
largely due to poor land management.
Historically, that land would either be delib-
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RYAN MILLS THE NATIONAL REVIEW
erately burned off by the indigenous tribes or
it would be grazed or it would be sparked by
lightning strikes, said Ring, an advocate of continuing to manage the chaparral lands oaks and
scrub brush with grazing animals, mechanical
thinning, and controlled burns.
But that hasnt happened, he said, due to public policies, bureaucratic resistance, and pushback from environmental activists. The result:
The L.A. foothills were primed to burn.
If those things had been done, or were being
done regularly, youre still going to get fires
in Los Angeles if something happens with the
wind and a spark, Ring said. But youre not
going to get something like this horrible disaster
that were dealing with now, because there just
wouldnt be as much fuel.
There has been plenty of blame assigned in
the days since the fires erupted. President-elect
Donald Trump, in posts on Truth Social, has
accused California governor Gavin Newsom and
President Joe Biden of gross incompetence and
mismanagement. Trumps primary concerns
revolve around a long-standing feud hes had
with Newscum over a plan to move beautiful,
clean, fresh water from the states north to the
drier south; hes seemingly arguing that with
more water, firefighters and residents would
have more ammunition to fight the flames.
Newsoms office has accused Trump of playing politics while L.A. burns.
Others have taken aim at Los Angeles County
Fire Department leaders for shipping surplus
firefighting gear to Ukraine in 2022, and for
allegedly prioritizing diversity, equity, and
inclusion over technological innovations and
enhancing community resilience.
To many on the left, there is only one real culprit
for the fires: climate change.
Of course, the cause of the fires and the
reasons why theyve been so destructive are
multi-faceted; the strong and dusty Santa Ana
winds that blow from the east have nothing
to do with climate change and are part of L.A.
mythology, Ring said.
And while mainstream media outlets have
largely dismissed Trumps concerns as mostly
noise that have little to do with actually fighting the fires, Ring said the president-elect isnt
necessarily wrong. The state, he said, does need
to send more water south, and because it hasnt,
Southern California operates on what could be
described as a just-in-time water system. They
dont have the pumps and pipes necessary to
deliver surges of water to these mountain neighSEE MILLS ON PAGE 5

HISTORY
borhoods and these foothill
neighborhoods, he said.
But Ring and others say
the biggest problem that has
allowed the fires to do as much
damage as they have is tied
to a lack of land management
in the L.A. Basin. He blames
the problem on state and local
government bureaucracies,
lawmakers in the pocket of
environmentalist and renewable energy lobbyists, and legal
challenges from activist groups
that can grind the ability of
landowners to manage their
property to a halt.
Environmental
groups,
including the California
Chaparral Institute, the Sierra
Club, and the California Center
for Biological Diversity, have
aggressively fought against
thinning and burning that
states chaparral landscape. In
a 2020 letter to lawmakers, they
argued that adding even more
fire to native chaparral shrublands is not an acceptable policy.
They make it virtually
impossible to do controlled
burns of any kind. They make
it virtually impossible to do
mechanical thinning. And they
make it very difficult and in
many cases impossible to even
have grazing on your property, Ring said.
Everything requires an
environmental impact statement, and everything requires
permits from the [South Coast]
Air Quality Management
District, he continued. All of
these things are just impenetrable bureaucracies. They just
tie everybody up in knots.
Ring said a focus on single-species
management,
rather than total-ecosystem
management, makes it easy
for environmentalist lawyers
to find a single bird or lizard
that could be affected by a land
management project to put the
project on hold.
The Endangered Species
Act and the California
Environment Quality Act have
both turned into monsters that
have not only prevented any
kind of rational land management, but theyve actually had
the perverse, opposite effect in
many respects, he said.
In addition to roadblocks
thrown up by government
bureaucracies and environmental groups, theres also a
lingering distrust among the
public of using fire to fight fire.
While fire is part of the natural ecosystem, for much of
the 20th century even wildland
firefighters viewed it as an
unwanted evil, hence Smokey
Bear, created in the 1940s,
warning that Only YOU Can
Prevent Forest Fires. While
wildland firefighters have
since changed that perspective,
urban firefighting still largely
prioritizes extinguishing fires
fast.
Getting buy-in from a now
traumatized public to do more
controlled burns in the urbanized foothills around L.A. will
likely require a remarkable
change in mentality, said
Stephen Pyne, an Arizona
State University fire historian.
People who live in cities
have the urban fire service
mentality, and theyre very
suspicious of prescribed burns
or other kinds of fire management programs, Pyne said.
It may be okay in Alaska or
Yellowstone, but they dont
want it in their backyards.
Before the 20th century,
wildfires burned millions of
acres in California every year
on average because people
couldnt do much to stop it.
California is built to burn,
Pyne said.
I have no doubt that climate change is amplifying
the effects. Thats a given,
he added. But all of the fundamentals have been in place
there for millions of years.
Pyne said Californians and
their leaders need to seriously
grapple with the reality that
theyve built big cities and
dense communities in a region
prone to fire.
Marc Joffe, a policy analyst
and fellow with the California
Policy Center, said hes frustrated by people who argue the
fires are because of climate
change. Weve got to fight climate change because were
having more and more of these
horrible events. He called it a
toxic argument that doesnt
allow for actionable, in-the-moment solutions.
There is absolutely nothing
that California politicians can
do to meaningfully impact the
rate at which the climate is
warming, he said, adding that
in the meantime wildfires are
happening and they will continue to happen.
In addition to deregulating
land management, Ring said
California leaders should prioritize burying powerlines,
which can be the source of
fires. Instead of spending
money on renewables, he said,
they could spend that money
on undergrounding powerlines
in fire-prone neighborhoods.
He also said building a more
robust water infrastructure
would be worthwhile, though
he noted that you cant drown
a fire as big and powerful as
the biggest L.A. blazes.
Pyne added that hardening homes and developing an
energy system where power
can be more easily be rerouted would be valuable. Biden
said Thursday that one reason
some L.A. fire hydrants were
dry this week was that power
was cut to some water pumps.
Pyne compared the partisan finger-pointing to dueling
banjos going back and forth.
What you need to do is
a bunch of stuff. Its no one
thing, he said.
But, he added, simply building up fire departments to
respond when massive fires
break out in densely-populated
area wont cut it anymore.
We cant just rely on emergency response, he said.
Weve crossed that threshold.

sexual lifestyles, and a counter movement against men
in womens sports and private spaces is growing daily.
Trumps Day One agenda is
said to mass some 100 executive orders to change policy
in keeping with his majority voter mandate to move the
country back toward strength
and normalcy.
The term may sound cliche
and melodramatic, but all indicators point to the emergence
of a new era of American history. And not a moment too
soon. ###
HACK…
FROM PAGE 1
they got all historical student
and teacher data, the person
at one affected school district
told TechCrunch. The person
added that while PowerSchool
said the hackers had access to
its data from late December,
the districts logs show that the
attackers had gained access
earlier.
TechCrunch said another source who works at a
district with almost 9,000 students told the outlet that
the attackers accessed demographic data for all teachers
and students, both active and
historical, as long as weve had
PowerSchool.
PowerSchool apparently told
TechCrunch and the affected
districts that it has taken
appropriate steps to prevent
the stolen data from being published and said it believes the
data has been deleted without
any further replication or dissemination, according to the
outlet
However, TechCrunch also
reports that the company did
not provide specifics on what
steps it took, and declined to
say what evidence the company had to suggest that the stolen data had been deleted.

Cherry Mound 4-H Club met in January
The monthly meeting of the
Cherry Mound 4h Club was
called to order on January 12,
2025, at Westphalia Elementary
School by President Chance
Witherspoon. Meeting started
with the Pledge of Allegiance
and 4H motto lead by Jaron.
Roll call was, Who is your
favorite football team? Five
members and one leader
answered this. The minutes
from the last minutes were
read by Myah Martin and were
approved as written. Myah
also reported the report was
sent to the paper last month.
The treasury report was given
and the club had no deposits
or money paid out. Our total
is still at $2838.58. Song was
led by Hank Newton. The club
sang, If your happy and you
know it. Gina Witherspoon
gave the leaders report. New
OTTAWA – The U.S. beef cow
inventory is at its lowest mark
in 62 years. As of January 2024,
the U.S. cow herd was only 28.2
million cows. Will the U.S. beef
industry rebuild? If so, when
will the rebuild start?
To explore topics surrounding these questions, K-State
Research and Extension offices
in the region will host a heifer
replacement/retention meeting on February 13, 2025, at
Ottawa Memorial Auditorium,
301 S. Hickory in Ottawa beginning with a meal at 6 p.m.;

was made to approve Chance
Witherspoon to be added to
the signature card by Hank

and purchasing replacement
heifers. He will also discuss
management techniquesboth
for retention and replacement
heifersand how to develop
the best cow possible.
Regardless of how the herd
is built, the goal is longevity in
the cow herd, said Schaub.
A hot topic when talking
about heifer management is
estrus synchronization, which
will be covered by Dr. Sandy
Johnson, a KSRE beef systems
specialist who focuses on reproductive physiology. Estrus synchronization may be used to
tighten the calving intervals
of heifers and lessen the time
a producer spends watching
them at calving. Numerous
estrus synchronization protocols exist whether using artificial insemination or a bull.
Both specialists will also
identify and discuss opportunity costs and other expenses associated with growing,
breeding and managing heif-
ers, said Schaub. Once costs
are identified, producers have
a better understanding of
what they can afford to pay for
replacement heifers.
According to Dr. Derrell
Peel,
Oklahoma
State
University Extension ag marketing specialist, the number
of heifers marketed since midsummer 2024 in Oklahoma has
decreased. Peel said this data
isnt definitive, but it could be
an early indication that a few
producers are starting to retain
heifers.
Come learn about the importance of heifer management
and synchronization protocols.
The meeting is being hosted by
the following K-State Research
and Extension units: the
Frontier District, the Maris des
Cygnes District, and Coffey,
Douglas, and Shawnee counties. Mark your calendars and
plan to attend.

halftime advantage outscoring
Southeast by 4 in the first quarter and 3 in the second.
The Lancers tallied a 13-9
advantage over Southeast in
the first quarter and 17-14 in
the second.
Southeast wouldnt let the

more point to their lead in the
third with an 18-17 advantage
to take a 48-40 lead into the
final quarter.
The opposing team would
chip away at the lead, cutting it
in half as time expired as they
outscored Crest 16-12 over the
final 8 minutes of the game.

with 23 points on 10-15 shooting
from the field. Walter added 4
rebounds and 3 steals.

Bulldogs hammer Prairie View
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – It was a great way
to open up after the holiday
break for the Anderson County
Bulldogs boys team as they
cruised to a dominant 82-34
victory over Prairie View on
Tuesday night.

that the next two weeks will be
very busy for the White House
as they continue to undermine
the incoming president.
Instead of accepting the will
of the voters, Biden is using
unchecked power to take executive action in every way he
possibly can.
Not only did Biden go back
on his word about not pardoning his own son, but he has also
pardoned 1,500 others and commuted the sentences of all federal death row inmates because
he thinks we should reconsider
the death penalty.
If he believes that, fine.
But the proper way we discuss issues in this country is
through the political process.
He should have made his case
to Congress to repeal the death
penalty law.
The presidential pardon
power is generally reserved for
cases in which the president
believes there was a miscarriage of justice, or that someone
was convicted in such a way as
to erode trust in the process.
Bidens pardon had nothing to
do with a wrongful conviction
but rather his feelings on the
death penalty law.
He claimed the same political grounds when banning offshore drilling, saying the environmental risks were too great.
Again, if he believes that,
make that case to Congress to
change the law allowing drilling.
But he didnt do that. Biden
instead chose dictatorial action,
something that Democrats have
claimed Trump will do once he
becomes president.
Usually very little action
takes place during the lame
duck period, or at least that is
what people of honor would do.
But we no longer have that
in politics, and that is why
we need to cut down the time
between elections and the
newly elected officials taking
office.
Or we need local units of
government to pass home
rules that limit any actions in
the lame duck period to only
affect those proposals that have
already been considered by the
commission. No new employee
contracts should be negotiated
during lame duck periods.
No presidential executive orders should be allowed
during the lame duck period,
either.
And people should always
feel free to challenge management and elected officials without fear of being investigated
by the KBI.
The nation will always
experience periods where
they reject the current leadership. When they do, that decision should be respected the
moment it is made.
1Sometimes that involves
newly elected officials who
want to take the community in
a different direction than the
current office holders.
Or even a nation.
We once lived in a time when
those decisions were honored.
Now we live in a time when
having power justifies poor
action, and it must be limited.
