CASH QUEER
for
OPK book club rewards
August board decision
not to restrict sex memoir
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
OVERLAND PARK The Garnett
Public Library has received a $400
gift from an Overland Park book
club in support of the library
boards handling of public
efforts to ban or restrict the
book Gender Queer a
memoir from a transgender author which critics
nationwide have said
includes pornographic content during a
controversy that arose
over the book last
summer in Garnett.
The letter from
Nora Richard of
Overland
Park
was included in city
librarian Andrea Sobbas
department memo which is a part
of a broader report from all city
departments made to city commissioners each week.
Richards letter said she represented a group of 10 members of
a 30 plus year book club that has
become concerned for the issues of
banning books. Many of our
members have been teachers and
our interest in Garnett Librarys
wise handling of the complaint for
this young adult memoir stems
from both a parental and teaching
background. Richard said the $400
was raised from loose change the
club collects at its monthly meetings and which it donates at
the end of each year
to an organization it feels
meets
with
the book clubs
principles.
May our contribution to Garnett
Public Library add
to the many voices giving support
to a free society that
encourages
critical
thinking, even when
possible controversy may
occur, Richard wrote.
Gender Queer has been
protested in municipal and school
libraries across the nation in recent
years for its storyline of alternate

City in search of meter reader again
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT WANTED: Meter reader for City of
Garnett who enjoys working outdoors, lots of exercise and performing a critical revenue function for
the city.
And if you wouldnt mind, could you stay for
more than just a couple months?
The run-down of no less than five Garnett meter
readers whove staffed the city position since the
Fall of 2021 illustrates the revolving door the post
has become within Garnetts employment scenario, and the direct impact of the tight labor market
locally that makes it easy to lure workers away to
a better paying gig seemingly every few weeks or
months. City manager Travis Wilson outlined the
predicament in the citys utility department last
week in a weekly memo to city commissioners,
noting the city had hired and lost four replacements

Early votes in new GOPheaded congress show
3rd Dist. Reps allegiance
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WASHINGTON, D.C. Kansas
3rd
District
Democratic
Congresswoman Sharice Davids
voted with pro-abortionist interests on two measures last week
in the early sessions of the 118th
U.S. Congress, one a condemnation
of recent violence against pro-life
facilities and churches and the
second a bill that would require
medical assistance for babies accidentally born alive after botched
abortions.
Bill H.R. 26, named the BornAlive
Abortion
Survivors
Protection Act passed the full
house 220-210 and requires abortion providers to render life-saving
aid to babies who survive attempted abortions. The bill also asserts
that babies born alive from such
procedures have the same claim to
legal protections and entitlements
under the law as babies born otherwise, and that medical profession-
als present are required to notify authorities in the event those
rights are denied.
Kansas
Second
District
Congressman Jake LaTurner
and First District Congressman
Tracey Mann were among numerous Republican
co-sponsors in
support of the bill.
Fourth District
Republican
Congressman
Ron Estes also
voted with the 220
member majority
to pass the meaDavids sure, which now
goes to the U.S.
Senate for consideration.
The measures outlined the contentiousness expected to characterize
the 118th Congress with its narrow
Republican majority; one which
isolates Davids and her liberal
stronghold of Johnson County and
a portion of Wyandotte county from
the majority of her 3rd Districts
geography in which Anderson,
Franklin and Miami counties are
majority Republican.

School boards now have help addressing Kansas student achievement crisis
New resource center
will offer help to solve
states academic issues
BY PATRICK RICHARDSON
THE SENTINEL
TOPEKA In an effort to help
school board members effectively address the states student achievement crisis, the
Kansas Policy Institute, the
parent company of the Sentinel,
has launched the nonprofit
Kansas School Board Resource
Center and announced the
addition of longtime education
veteran Ward Cassidy as executive director.
KSBRC will serve state and
local school board members
with finance and governance
information and training as
well as help in analyzing academic performance data.
Student achievement in
Kansas is much lower than
most people believe, Cassidy
said in a release. Im thrilled
to be able to utilize my passion and experience to support
school board members in prioritizing the academic needs of
our kids.
Cassidy is a retired teacher
and principal and also served
in the Kansas Legislature
as Vice Chair of the House
Education Committee.
The Kansas Department of
Educations 2022 state assessment report shows that there
are more students below
grade level
than are proficient and
on track for
college and
career.
Cassidy Some schools
have bucked
the
trend
USD 329 Wabaunsee, for
example, has seen proficiency steadily improve from 40%
in 2018 to 50% in 2022, while
the state average dropped from
32% to 29% most schools
have seen a steady decline,
despite record levels of funding.
We have learned over
time that just spending more
money isnt helping our students achieve. Our school
boards need support, Cassidy
said in the release. They need
sound data and a clear path.
Thats the need we aim to meet.
We look to other states that
have demonstrated that a shift
in the paradigm works, and
its time for Kansas to do the
same.
School board members need
better information
KPI opened the Kansas School
Board Resource Center after
hearing from school board
members who need information theyve not been able to get
from existing sources. Student
achievement data and school
spending information are frequently requested, as well as
policy guidance to drive academic improvement.
Kansas Policy Institute CEO
Dave Trabert said most KSBC
services will be available to
school board members and districts at no cost.
Our funding comes from
donors who want to improve
public education, Trabert said
in a release. We may charge a
nominal fee of no more than
$25 to cover costs to put on
workshops, which we will ask
board members to personally
pay because we want school
district funds used to educate
students. We accept no funding
from school districts or other
government sources.
KSBRC will have a kick-off
event at the Hotel Topeka at
City Center on January 26 at
3:00 P.M., followed by a cocktail reception. The meeting will
provide information to school
board members on the specific
challenges they face and gather input on how KSBRC can
help them address challenges.

VIOLENCE… MidAmerica Nazarene University
FROM PAGE 1
The resolution condemning anti-abortion facility violence cited 35 separate attacks
against pregnancy centers
advocating alternatives to
abortion and against pro-life
churches and other organizations since the May 2022 leak
of the Supreme Courts draft
opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson
Womens Health Organization.
Among those incidents were
the firebombing of the Oregon
Right to Life office in Keizer,
Oregon, in which two Molotov
cocktails were thrown at the
building, as well as numerous incidents of vandalism,
fire setting, spray painting of
threatening messages and vandalism to staff members cars.
Other incidents included those
at three churches in Bethesda,
Maryland, in which individuals either vandalized or set
fires causing physical damage
to the pro-life churches and
their properties. One church
received some $50,000 in damages.
Davids was the only member of the Kansas congressional delegation to vote against
the resolution condemning that
violence, which passed 222209. Davids communications
director Ellie Turner told the
Review Davids condemned all
political violence and co-sponsored House Resolution 27,
also introduced last week, condemning violence at abortion
facilities.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 17, 2023
ZWIENER
DECEMBER 24, 1928 – JANUARY 10, 2023
Harold Eugene Zwiener,
age 94, of Garnett, Kansas,
passed away
on Tuesday,
January 10,
2023, at Guest
Home Estates
in Garnett,
Kansas.
Harold
was born on
December
Zwiener
24, 1928, in
Garnett,
Kansas. He was the third of
three children born to Fredrick
Herman Zwiener and Grace
Mae (Hand) Zwiener. Harold
was born one quarter of a mile
west of where he lived 73 of his
94 years. He graduated from
Garnett High School in 1946.
On November 19, 1949, he
was united in marriage to Ruth
Marie Hermreck, in Garnett,
Kansas. This union was blessed with three children, Dwight,
Kendall and Diane.
Harold
managed
the
Kenneth R. Johnson Oilfield
Supply store in Garnett, for
twenty years. He then formed
Zwiener Brothers Construction
with his brother, Raymond,
in 1974. Following Raymonds
death Harold continued on as
Zwiener Construction until
retiring in 2015. In addition
to his construction business,
Harold farmed throughout his
life. Harold maintained and
repaired his equipment, to
make sure it met his standards.
He served several years on
the Pottawatomie Watershed
Committee Board.
Harold took pride in everything he did, from mowing the
yard to planting the garden or
taking care of his fruit trees.
If you knew Harold, you knew
there was only one way to do
it, Harolds Way. In his free
time he enjoyed bowling, hunting, fishing and water skiing.
He loved to travel, his favorite destination was anywhere
he could go. He particularly
enjoyed family trips to Table
Rock lake and the Lake of the
Ozarks. It has been said that
some of the grandchildren
might have had stubborn
Harold wrapped around their
finger, however all of his great
grandchildren were absolutely

BY DAVID BILDERBACK
see the kingdom of God unless
he is born again. What Jesus
was teaching Nicodemus is
that the kingdom will not come
visibly but would be in the
hearts of those who believe.
Now the question is believe
what? The new birth is not a
reformation of the old nature
that would only be temporary
at best. It is faith in Christ
crucified. When you come to
the foot of the cross and realize
the ultimate sacrifice that was
made there you become a partaker of the divine nature, the
life of Christ himself. In John
3:16 we read, For God so loved
the world that he gave his one
and only Son that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. The
Pharisees believed in religion,
Jesus said you must believe
in him. The Pharisees had no
room for Jesus in their heart.
The question I leave with you
is. Do you have any room?
Pastor Chase has set forth
a challenge for us this year to
take our faith seriously. How
we live out every day that we
are given has eternal implications. Therefore, we should
seriously consider how we are
spending our days and use
them to worship and glorify
God, our creator, and Jesus,
the author and finisher of our
faith. God is serious about
worship. The history that is
recorded regarding the face off
between Moses & Pharaoh of
Egypt in Exodus 5-12 proves
that God is serious about his
people being free to worship
Him. God demonstrated His
power as the one and only true
God through the 10 plagues,
ending in the death of the first
born son of every Egyptian,
including Pharaohs own son.
That may seem extreme, but
God went to more extreme
lengths to free you and me from
our slavery to sin so that we
would be free to worship Him.
For God so loved the world that
He gave HIS one and only son,
that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). That is how
serious God is about making
a way for us to worship him.
There are many things that
come to mind when people hear
the word worship: singing,
raising hands, bowing down,
making sacrifices. When we
worship something, that thing
is what we live for. God wants
us to live our lives for Him.
Romans 12:1 says, ..in view of
Gods mercy, offer your bodies
as a living sacrifice, holy and
pleasing to God this is your
true and proper worship. How
can we not live for the one who
died in our place in order to set
us free from sin and death? God
is serious about worship so we
should be too.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 17, 2023
Kansas businesses have done enough
when it comes to collecting sales taxes
Kansas lawmakers are debating something called the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax
Agreement, an interstate compact said to simplify
collection of tax on sales shipped from one state
and delivered in another.
For years, under a now-overturned Supreme
Court ruling, this was next to impossible. States
could only tax sales made by companies which
maintained a physical presence in their territory. Eventually, however, this came to include all
the big guys, such as Amazon and Walmart.
Only smaller out-of-state merchants could avoid
collecting sales tax. Oh, the buyer was supposed
to pay the compensating use tax themselves, but
few bothered.
States thrive
But every million

tax money. The
current Kansas
secretary
of
revenue, Mark
Burghart, is a
fan of Streamlined Sales Tax, which he reports
brought in $68 million last year and could hit $80
million this year.
But Kansas alone has 677 counties, cities and
special districts that collect a sales tax. And under
the compact, member states must collect their tax
based on where the recipient lives or does business. The result is incredibly complex.
Two decades ago, when Streamlined was new
and shinny, the late Sen. Stan Clark took your
editor and the papers business manager to see
the secretary of revenue, then Joan Wagnon, a
Democrat, former legislator and former mayor of
Topeka.
When told what a burden this would create for
small businesses such as ours, she nodded and
expressed understanding. But you could see in her
eyes the gleam of $40 million to $50 million a year.
You could tell, she did not care how much pain this
would cause small businesses or how much it cost
them. The state would profit.
Its odd. $40 million, even $80 million, is small
change to the state of Kansas. It sounds like a lot
to ordinary people, of course, but its not much to
the state. The all funds budget was $7.3 billion in
2022 and might hit $9.3 billion this year.
GUEST COMMENTARY
STEVE HAYNES, Haynes Publishing Co.
But every million counts, especially if your
favorite program hangs in the balance.
Before Kansas entered the compact, a business
such as ours simply totaled its taxable sales, paid
the prevailing rate at its location and sent the state
a check every month. With Streamlined, it can
take hours to track down and post the tax for every
sale and its location just within the state.
Supposedly, the system was designed to simplify tax collection and payment and make it easier
on business, and that may be true for larger businesses that send a lot of merchandise or equipment
out of state. The compact sponsors certified service
providers that handle out-of-state tax compliance
for the companies; they are paid 5 percent of the
tax collected, so the service is basically free to
these retailers.
This costs Kansas only about $2 million a year,
a real bargain; we know of no similar program to
help Kansas firms with in-state collections.
Rep. Adam Smith of Weskan, who represents
this corner of the state, is chair of the House tax
committee, and Sen. Caryn Tyson of Parker heads
the Senate tax committee; they will be leading any
discussion of the tax pact in Topeka.
Surely there should be a way to keep small
businesses from having to spend hours calculating
their sales tax every month; either exempt them or
compensate them for their pain and suffering.
Business owners who agree might want to contact of these committee chairs with their ideas and
suggestions now, while the discussion is getting
started.

Oberlin Herald in Oberlin, Kan.

My first thought from the Biden classified document story is that theyre just releasing this
right now to distract us from something worse
thats going on.
If mandating a poison upon the populace via
nonexistent powers later ruled to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court isnt an impeachable offense by a president, then exactly what is?
When a public institution says it is pursuing
diversity, it means that it will never again
accomplish anything useful. Behind the euphemisms, diversity means we are putting in
unqualified people and pretending they add

Hand-delivered letter from Texas Governor
Greg Abbott to President Joe Biden upon
Bidens first visit to the U.S. southern border at
El Paso on January 8, 2023.
Dear President Biden:
Your visit to our southern border with
Mexico today is $20 billion too little and two
years too late.
Moreover, your visit avoids the sites where
mass illegal immigration occurs and sidesteps
the thousands of angry Texas property owners whose lives have been destroyed by your
border policies. Even the city you visit has

unlawfully paroling aliens en masse.
You must stop sandbagging the implementation of the Remain-in-Mexico policy and
Title 42 expulsions, and fully enforce those
measures as the federal courts have ordered
you to do.
You must aggressively prosecute illegal
entry between ports of entry, and allow ICE to
remove illegal immigrants in accordance with
existing federal laws.
You must immediately resume construction
of the border wall in the State of Texas, using
the billions of dollars Congress has appropriated for that purpose.
You must designate the Mexican drug cartels
as foreign terrorist organizations.
On behalf of all Americans, I implore you:

To the media, not all conspiracy theories are equal
The same people who pride themselves
on rigorously insisting on the facts — ideally, explained in the dulcet tones of an NPR
anchor — are happy to embrace conspiracy
theories supportive of their own worldview.
This is why the idea that Russian disinformation on social media influenced or even
decided the 2016 election has gained such
purchase, even though a new study finds,
unsurprisingly, no evidence for it.
The overwhelming focus on the Russian
influence operation in the wake of 2016 was
classic conspiratorial thinking — an unusual
or unwelcome event, namely Trumps shocking victory, was attributed to the machinations of a small, shadowy group of malefactors.
This fevered notion fueled Democratic
2016 election denialism; catalyzed a federal
investigation into Trump that was senseless
and disruptive; created a cottage industry
of supposed disinformation experts; pushed
social media companies into exercising rank
political censorship in the name of fact-based
content moderation; led to the suppression of
the Hunter Biden laptop story; and distorted
the work of the FBI, which made itself an
adjunct of the progressive crusade against
such supposedly pervasive and incredibly
consequential disinformation.
The effects of all of this are still with
us today. The panic over disinformation is
the backdrop to many of the Twitter Files
releases, which will be followed up with hearings by House Republicans.
It always seemed unlikely that a challenge
beyond the grasp of American politicos with
endless resources and extensive knowledge
of our political system — namely, swaying an
election based on some random, not-very-good

social media posts — would be easily within
reach of clueless Russians wielding a bunch
of bots.
The new report published by Nature
Communications (affiliated with the famous
journal Nature) is the product of a yearslong
research project led by New York Universitys
Center for Social Media and Politics. For technical reasons, the study focuses on Twitter,
although surely its findings are more generally applicable.
It found that even though the scale of the
Russian efforts sounds vast (an estimated
32 million Twitter users exposed to Russiasponsored posts — egads!), its reach and measurable effect were negligible.
The report relied on a detailed survey of a
subset of Twitter users, finding 1% of people
on Twitter accounted for 70% of exposure to
Russian tweets, and 10% for 98% of exposure.
In other words, this was not a widespread
phenomenon. Indeed, the median exposure to
Russian accounts the last month of the election was zero because overall exposure was so
tiny.
As one might expect, the Russian accounts
were overshadowed — by at least an order of
magnitude — by content from ordinary domestic political news media and U.S. political
candidates.
Was the Russian disinformation carefully
targeted for political effect? No. It turns out
that the Internet Research Agency, the outfit
in charge of the bots, didnt know how to target American swing voters (maybe they are
better at this when trying to influence by-elections in Vladivostok).
The Russian accounts were disproportionately seen by strong Republicans. These
werent people sitting on the fence, who then
saw some crude anti-Hillary meme on social
media and thought, That clinches it — now
I cant vote for the Democrat Ive disdained
literally for decades.
The study found, naturally, The relationship between the number of posts from
Russian foreign influence accounts that users
are exposed to and voting for Donald Trump
is near zero. Nor did Russian posts influence
attitudes toward the issues or drive increased
polarization.
It turns out that random drivel produced
by foreigners and thrown into the enormous,
all-consuming maw of American social media
doesnt have much effect.
If the reports findings were more politically convenient, they would by spread far
and wide by traditional media outlets urging
everyone to accept its conclusions as science.
In the end, it turns out, the biggest success
of the Russian operation was driving a segment of American political opinion completely mad.

….Whether inadvertent or deliberate,
leaving classified documents in unsecured
spaces is dangerous.
It risks the exposure of sources and
methods. With all the noise on this issue in
the media and between the highly polarized
political classes, we must remember what
keeps the intelligence community up at
night.
An unsecured document that contains
information from a human source can get
that person killed.
It can dissuade others from taking grave
risks to share exceptionally valuable information in the future. An unsecured document that contains information on how the
United States is intercepting foreign communications can allow a foreign government to close down that line of collection.
Put simply, unsecured classified materials are no joking matter.

Four more artifacts from 2022
These artifacts are still
those I found in 2022 and all
were found at the same site
that Ive been working at for
several months and continue
to do so.
As you can see at this site I
find quite a variety of artifacts
and from quite a time span.

actuality it is an iron guard
from an early implement such
as an old binder or mower.
Picture #2
Everyone should know what
this artifact is. An old cast
iron stove lid that has been
broken almost in half. Luckily
I was able to find both pieces.
Picture #3
Im not really sure if the top
two items are iron buttons,coins or etc. The large button is made of mother-of-Pearl
and little one Ive been unable
to identify what material it is
made of.

100 years ago…
The Haskell post office is a
thing of the Past. It is succeeded by Bush City, the name of
the town and the railroad station. The station was named
after Colonel Bush, one of the
principal men interested in
the K. N. and D. railroad. The
post office was named after
Congressman Dudley Haskell.
The change was made a year
ago but was not announced
at that time. The American
Legion has purchased three
lots east of the railroad on
Fifth Avenue. On these lots a
building is to be erected, the
money to be raised by popular
subscription.
40 years ago…
A Garnett city police officer
was injured while arresting
a man on a charge Thursday
morning. The officer, Bill
Umbarger, was arresting Gary
Parks, Garnett, east of the
Garnett State Savings Bank
on Fifth Avenue when parks
allegedly struck Umbarger
in the face with a radio or
recording device according
to Anderson County Attorney
Hermann Loepp. The officer
required six stitches and was
treated and released from the
Anderson County Hospital.
Utility customers in Garnett
received a reprieve in their
bills during the month of
December. The fuel-adjustment charge was lowered by
0.358 cents per kilowatt hour
of use. The customer using
500 kilowatts per month would
have paid $6.79 less for this
current bill. Water rates for
Colony residents will soon
increase due to city ordinance.
The increase is meant to fund
a $451,300 debt on a loan for
the Colony water project that
included the replacement of
the existing water lines in
Colony, the construction of a
water tower, an eight-mile line
to a water treatment plant, and
a community water building

No decision was made at
the School Board Meeting
regarding the possible closing of the schools at Mont
Ida and Greeley. The item
will be placed on the agenda
for the monthly meeting in
February. Both schools have
the smallest enrollments in
the district and the cost per
student is among the highest.
Sales began on Friday, Jan
6 for postage stamps depicting singer Elvis Presley. A
ten-person line waited patiently at the local post office for
access to the commemorative
stamps. All Anderson County
Schools have been designated
as drug-free-gun-free school
zones as part of a program
through the Kansas Bureau
of Investigation. Anderson
County Attorney Craig Cole
instigated the participation in
the program and used money
recovered by law enforcement
officials when holding drug
raids in the county. The City
of Garnett paved the way for
a mill levy increase for the
Garnett Public Library in 1994,
designed to augment what has
been an overall decline in the
librarys budget over the past
several years.
20 years ago…
Knife-wielding vandals are
slashing tires on cars, trucks,
and even tractors causing
considerable headaches and
financial losses in the Garnett
area. The hardest hit has been
Forrest Cass, Anderson County
Road Supervisor. Vandals cut
the tires on two tractors and
three trucks causing more than
$1,400 worth of damage. Other
residents of Garnett reported
damage to tires, in a report
filed with Garnett Police, 6
tires were cut at the residence
of Jeffrey Meeker. While Cass
and Meeker were the only
reporting citizens, customers
at Wolken Tire had brought in
more than 20 slashed tires in
recent weeks. Last Thursday
as part of the Winter Trout program, more than 1,200 rainbow
trout were released in Crystal
Lake.
10 years ago…
With pressure to take more
meetings to the online forum,
Freshman
Commissioner
Preston Peine is asking for
more open communication
and transparency.
Peine
notes that having documents
readily available online could
encourage participation from
the community. His request
included putting all non-confidential documents and audio
recordings of commission
meetings online and to begin
live-streaming meetings. The
citys tourism committee came
under fire on several fronts
when members asked for nearly $10,000 to pay for new brochures. When asked why local
vendors werent considered
for the project, the conversation turned to a demand from
Commissioner Peine regarding what would be included
in the brochures and what the
group hoped to accomplish
with them before signing off on
any expenditure. The remaining commissioners said rather
than send the brochures for
printing out of town, that they
would rather they be produced
by the city.

Creating memories and leaders
Greg Doering, Kansas Farm
Bureau
Kansas Farm Bureau had
a good 2022 as evidenced by
the Pinnacle and New Horizon
awards it received at the
American Farm Bureaus
104th convention recently. The
Pinnacle award is the highest
honor a state Farm Bureau can
earn for program and membership achievement. KFB
received the New Horizon
award, which highlights innovative new programs, for the
Casten Fellows Program, developed to honor the life of staffer
Jill Casten-Downing through
leadership development and
international travel.
The honors are well
deserved, and its nice to take
a few minutes to appreciate the
amount of work required to go
from the initial idea to implementation and execution. The
destination is important, but so
is the journey.
Theres no shortage of challenges today in agriculture, as
evidenced by just some of the
ongoing work from last year,
like KFBs End Hunger campaign to ensure all our states
residents have access to the
food they need. From Sept. 1 to
Dec. 31, individuals and businesses contributed more than
$50,000 toward the campaign.
That money will go to innovative programs run by county
Farm Bureaus to address the
needs theyve identified locally. By no way is this problem
solved, but progress is being
made. Next years goal is to
raise $75,000.
Another ongoing project
includes KFBs purchase of
Shop Kansas Farms (SKF)
which allows our farm and
KANSAS COMMENTARY
GREG DOERING, KANSAS FARM BUREAU
ranch members to reach consumers in a new way. SKF
founder Rick McNary is also
helping communities develop
local food systems to capture
the full economic value from
farm gates to dinner plates.
Announced late last year, the
Rural Kansas Apprenticeship
Program will really get rolling
in 2023 as the states first ever
initiative to match agriculturists and rural business owners
with a structured plan to train
and retain employees. Its not a
silver bullet for the lack of help
available in rural areas, but its
the beginning of addressing a
skills gap to meet our current
and future workforce needs.
As always, KFB will continue to ensure the voices of farmers and ranchers are heard in
Topeka with a special focus on
three topics: water, taxes and
broadband.
KFB will continue to support the basic tenets of Kansas
water law, which have provided our members the ability to plan, invest and defend
their private property rights
for decades. KFB policy also
supports the development of
a Kansas Water Plan, either
through the state general fund
or dedicated statewide revenue
sources.
Any redesign of tax structures comes with the poten-
tial to shift taxes from one
source to another with significant consequences. KFB will
continue to steadfastly advocate for the constitutionally
required use-value system that
accurately and appropriately
values agricultural lands and
provides stable tax revenues
to local units of government.
Agricultural operations are
businesses, and they should
receive fair and equal tax treatment as it pertains to sales tax
exemptions.
Access to a vibrant, highspeed broadband network
is essential to the future of
both rural and urban Kansas.
Statewide broadband deployment will provide new opportunities for the delivery of healthcare, education, entertainment, business development
and enhance the capabilities of
precision agriculture. Efforts
by the state to facilitate telecommunications connectivity
throughout Kansas should consider the technology-dependent
nature of the agriculture industry, and its significant impact
on the Kansas economy.
For those paying attention,
this isnt a new list, and theres
a good chance it will be similar
in 2024. There will be advancements on some fronts and setbacks on others. The key is
stick to your priorities and
have the patience to withstand
the mundane and incremental
nature of progress.
"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.
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 gros-
beak, 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.
Red-breasted nuthatch: oil
(black) and black-striped sunflower seeds.
Brown thrasher: hulled and
black-striped sunflower seeds.
Red-winged
blackbird:
white and red proso millet,
German (golden) millet.
Mourning dove: oil (black)
sunflower seeds, white and red
proso, German (golden millet).
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.
For more information
about backyard birding and
birdfeeding, Chuck Otte, a
retired K-State Research and
Extension agriculture and natural resources agent in Geary
County, has provided a series
of online guides.
Upham and his colleagues
in K-States Department of
Horticulture and Natural
Resources produce a weekly
Horticulture Newsletter with
tips for maintaining home
landscapes. The newsletter
is available to view online or
can be delivered by email each
week.
Interested persons can also
send their garden- and yard-related questions to Upham at
wupham@ksu.edu, or contact
your local extension office.

Tips for Parents: Keeping
lines of communication open
By Lisa Moser, K-State Research
and Extension news service
MANHATTAN, Kan. When
sitting in the stands at a youth
event, it is easy to pick up
on a wide range of parenting
approaches, as well as varied
levels of interest shown by the
children participating.
As the new year begins,
Bradford Wiles, a K-State
Research and Extension specialist in applied human sciences, encourages families to
pause and reflect on ways that
will best help develop children
as they work through adolescence.
This is a really good time
to have conversations with
kids about their routines and
activities and allow the children the opportunity to share
their likes and dislikes, Wiles
said. Parents should always
have the final say, but it is
important to listen to children
to learn what their goals are.
And where it is feasible, make
adjustments.
Wiles said sometimes it is
hard for parents to allow their
children to drop an activity
that the family is invested in.
These transitions can be
very hard for the adults who
have invested large sums of
money and time into activities that their children decided
that they didnt want to do anymore, Wiles said.
He stressed the importance
of really listening to the children.
If we want to raise happy
and healthy kids, we need to
be open to the possibilities of
what can happen when we give
them the opportunity to tell us
what will make them happy
and healthy. And if those
things arent risky, then go for
it, Wiles said. But keep in
mind this is not a democracy
and parents are the final arbiters of what goes on in their
households.
To help facilitate an openness where children feel safe
to express their views, Wiles
encourages parents to engage
them in a daily dialog from a
young age.
The first step is to ask kids
open-ended questions, Wiles
said. By doing so, parents are
demonstrating that they are
really interested in their chil-
drens lives.
It is by being present and
responsive to their needs that
parents can model life skills to
their children, he said.
One of the hallmarks of
good parenting is you dislike
the behavior but love the child.
Children are going to do things
wrong and make mistakes, but
it is how we respond to mistakes that is important, Wiles
said.
He gave the example of
tenacity as a behavior that parents can model when a child
has a misstep in life.
Modeling encouragement
and tenacity will help them get
through difficulty, Wiles said.
Through regular conversations with children, parents
are fostering bonds that will
last a lifetime.
Wiles said: If a child has
been asked day after day how
things are going, eventually
they will share information
with parents that will provide
an opportunity to learn about
themselves while gaining trust
and building a resilience needed throughout life.
Preventing frost damage to fruit trees this spring
By Maddy Rohr, K-State
Research and Extension news
service
MANHATTAN, Kan. As
fruit tree selection begins
for the spring, Kansas State
University horticulture expert
Ward Upham said certain species will be more sensitive to
frost and, thus, decreased fruit
production.
Spring in Kansas is often
unsettled with apricot and
peach tree flowers being very
vulnerable to late frosts that
can kill fruit buds, Upham
said. Of course, the tree itself
will be fine, but there will be
none to little fruit for that
year.
Upham said the closer a tree
is to blooming the more sensitive it is, but apricot and peach
trees are by far the most vulnerable.
Apricots are more likely to have frost kill flowers
than peaches because they
bloom a bit earlier. Though
DID YOU
KNOW?
there are late-blooming apricot varieties, the differences
between full bloom on early
and late-blooming varieties
appears to be slight, Upham
said.
In addition to bloom time,
fruit bud hardiness is important in peach tree varieties.
In this case, fruit bud hardiness refers to hardiness to
late frosts rather than the ability to survive extreme low temperatures during the winter,
Upham said.
Location is also a factor
in preventing frost damage
to fruit trees. Upham recommends planting on a hill that
allows cold air to drain to
lower elevations, or a location
in town that will be more likely to have a warmer micro-climate than an exposed location.
Some gardeners will add
a heat source under a tree
during cold nights if they are
close to a building, Upham
said. Heat lamps and charcoal
briquettes are sometimes used
but safety should be the first
consideration.
Upham and his colleagues
in K-State's Department of
Horticulture and Natural
Resources produce a weekly
Horticulture Newsletter with
tips for maintaining home
landscapes and gardens. The
newsletter is available to view
online or can be delivered by
email each week.
Interested persons can also
send their garden and yard-related questions to Upham at
wupham@ksu.edu, or contact
your local K-State Research
and Extension office.

sexuality and graphic depictions and descriptions of sex
acts, some involving children
and adults. The illustrated cartoon-paneled memoir recounts
the journey of author Maia
Kobabe who is female
through her adolescence as she
comes to believe she is in fact
non-binary (neither male nor
female) and asexual.
The book has been among
the targets of conservatives
who oppose what they say are
efforts among Leftists and sexual-social extremists in the
United States in recent years to
trans children to encourage
them to believe their anxiety
about sexuality in their adolescence is proof they are not their
birth-defined gender. Those
opponents point to an apparent
growing proliferation of all
ages drag shows like one
promoted by an organization in
Wichita last fall which received
state tourism funds as well as
school district policies in some
states that favor transgender
theory, selection of pronouns,
and efforts to allow male athletes to claim they are female
and to compete on girls sports
teams where they easily excel
as evidence of social and political transing.
Richards is no stranger to
political activism. In 2021 she
submitted written testimony
to the Kansas House & Senate
Committee on Redistricting
encouraging the committee
to leave Johnson County and
Wyandotte counties in the 3rd
Congressional District. That
district was shifted to include
half of Wyandotte and added
Anderson and Franklin counties to Johnson and Miami,
and elected Democrat Sharice
Davids to a third term last
November.
Local opponents of the book
petitioned the Garnett library
to either ban or restrict it in
some way to keep it out of the
hands of younger children, but
the board opted to maintain
it with no changes. The book
was and is currently kept in
the young adult section but is
accessible to anyone, according
to library personnel.

Pictured are the youth that were cast in The First Christmas which was put on by the Richmond and
Princeton United Methodist Churches during the holiday season.
entire south end of the sanctuary.
Most of the childrens costumes were borrowed from
Wellsville UMC, said Pastor
Lenise. We are very grateful to
have a community of churches
to borrow from.
The play would not have
run as smoothly without the
help of adults filling various
roles such as the Stage Director
Amy Mustain, Set Director
Lois Hobbs, Music Director
Cathy Parsons, and Costume
Directors Brooke Diaz and
Linda Horstick. As one can
imagine, it was no small task
to keep young children in the
right costumes including a
few that had several costume
changes.
Cassie Dunbar and Elaine
Dunbar also helped at the
rehearsals.
The First Christmas
bulletin was illustrated by
Kamryn Reeder. Pam Peters
was Sound and Photography
Director. Be sure to check
out the Richmond, Ks UMC
Facebook photo album for
more pictures by award winning photographer, Pam
Peters.
It has been several years
since the Richmond United
Methodist Church had a live
Christmas manger play, and it
was appreciated and enjoyed
by all.
Approximately 30 women
from the community attended the traditional Christmas
luncheon and program hosted by the Richmond United
Women in Faith (formerly
United Methodist Women)
last month. Marsha Chrisman
was luncheon chairman.
UWF traditionally takes a
Love Offering at its December
meeting that for several
years has been used for gifts
and toys for a family in the
Central Heights school district. Mary Hall shared the
history of the Love Offering,
saying this is a special project
in addition to the Food Pantry
which is an on-going project
of the Richmond UMC.
The short, simple story An
Unexpected Christmas Guest
was read by Pastor Lenise
Eddings as four women enacted the storys characters.
Mary Hall was the cobbler of
many years ago who was hoping and waiting for the LORD
to be his guest on Christmas
Day. Throughout the day a
beggar (Nancy Burroughs), an
old lady (Pat Vining) and a
child (Dorothy Welch) visited
the cobbler, and he gave each
of them shoes or food and
helped them on their way.
Toward evening, the Lord
spoke to Conrad, the cobbler and told him Three
times I knocked and three
times I came in, And each
time I found the warmth of
a friend. Conrad realized
then that the LORD had visited him, just not as he had
expected.
The women sang Love
Came Down at Christmas
and Silent Night to end
their 2022 Christmas program.
The enactment was repeated at worship service New
Years Day morning with
Mary Ann Pearson playing
the part of the child.
The story/poem was originally written by Edwin
Markham and retold in 2001
by Alda Ellis. It was popularized some years ago by
Grandpa Jones on Hee-Haw
and by Reba McIntyre.

Farm Transition and Succession Planning conference Sprague
Deans List honors
Frontier
Extension
District with the help of the
Conservation Districts in
Anderson, Franklin and Osage
Counties will host a Farm
Transition and Succession
Planning Conference beginning at 8:30 a.m. and running
through 4:00 p.m., Saturday,
February 11th, 2023.
The
meeting will be held at the
Melvern Community Building,
Melvern KS. Pre-registration
is required. You can register
and pay online by going to our
website at: www.frontierdistrict.k-state.edu and using the
QR Code; by calling any of the
Districts Extension Offices:
Ottawa, 785.229.3520; Garnett,
785.448.6826
or
Lyndon,
785.828.4438; or by emailing
rschaub@ksu.edu. There is a
twenty-dollar fee per person to
attend.
The key note speaker for
the event will be Dr. Ron
Hanson. During the morning
session, Dr. Hanson will discuss Mapping Out a Plan to
Keep Your Farm in the Family
for Future Generations. In
the afternoon session, he will
highlight Avoiding Mistakes
of a Family Succession
Planning Train Wreck.
Dr. Ron Hanson, Professor
Emeritus from the University
of Nebraska, has counseled
and worked with farm families
for more than 40 years to help
them resolve family conflicts
in a more positive manner and
improve family relationships.
His most recent efforts have
been directed at farm business ownership succession
planning and the transition of
management control between
farming generations.
Ashlee Westerhold will
explore transition resources
available through her office at
Kansas State University. She
is the director of The Office of
Farm and Ranch Transition
at Kansas State University.
Pictured are the Garnett Elementary Spelling Bee participants for 2023. Fifth grader
Ashton Rouse finished first and 4th grade Aiden Perry finished second. Front row,
from left: Isabella OConnor, Cassidy Baumann, Jasmine Ware, Lucas Goodlett,
The recently launched program offers resources and
assistance with succession
planning, retirement, and
transferring management and
assets. Her office also offers
a land-link program to introduce exiting landowners with
beginning farmers/ranchers
through an application and
curated matching process.
One-on-one consultations are
available to anyone needing
assistance with transition
planning.
You often see the terms
farm estate planning and
farm transition planning
used interchangeably, but
there are some important differences. Estate planning is
what happens to the assets
when one generation passes,
(who gets what.) Transition
planning is what allows the
next generation the opportunity to keep that farming or
ranching operation in business and moving forward.
Hope you will be able to join
us February 11th. If you have
questions on need more information please call Rod Schaub,
Frontier District Agent at

for the meter reader position
since October 2021. The longest
lasted 9 months, the shortest
stayed just two weeks. And its
more than a nagging personnel problem, Wilson told the
Review last week it has the
potential to affect the citys utility revenues.
The meter reader position
is probably the most critical
position in the city, Wilson
said. Former meter reader
Shane Henkle was covering
the post last week in the interim while the city sought new
applicants. Wilson said the job
is a physical one the position
walks all over town to read
meters manually logging readings in books that become the
core of the citys monthly utility billing, where the majority
of city revenues are derived.
Twenty books a month over
5,000 individual meters including gas, water, and electric.
While working out in the elements the jobs got to be done
whether its raining, snowing,
hot or cold can be a negative
about the job, Wilson said he
thinks the $14-$16 pay scale is
probably the main culprit.
I think it is a combination
of things, Wilson said. I
do think the main reason is
money.
But for employees trying
to beat the past years 40 year
record inflation rate, who can
blame them for looking for
greener pastures?
Across Kansas last year the
tight post-Covid labor market
pushed wages up an average
of 5.1 percent, as unprecedented amounts of Covid-19
relief funding from the federal
government in 2020 and 2021
inundated the nations economy and according to many
experts drove prices to proportionate levels not seen since the
1980s. But the Bureau of Labor
Statistics reports inflation
across the Midwest hit some
8.6 percent in the 12 months
ending last September, so even
with a wage hike many workers are still netting less after
their basic expenses are done
with their take home pay.
A report from the U.S.
Federal Reserve said interest
rate hikes employed in recent
months to restrict the money
supply in the economy were
expected to slow the economy
and result in restricted hiring
and a decline in wage growth.
Still, the impacts of such macro
economic decisions have yet to
be felt on the streets of Garnett,
where trouble posting one position could literally slow the
citys own revenue collections.
Its an easy job, Henkle
said Friday. But somebody
just has to go out and do it.
