Two county incumbents may not run
Most current elected
officers say theyll run again,
field of challengers slim so far
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Two current incumbent
county office holders say the jury is
still out on whether or not theyll
seek additional four-year terms in
Anderson County Government, and
ones already announced he wont
run.
Anderson County Treasurer
Dena McDaniel says 34 years may
be enough.
My thoughts are that I will
not run again, McDaniel told the
Review last week. That being said,
it truly depends on life and what
happens between now and June to
change my thoughts. She said at
this point she was evaluating what
her financial status would be in
retirement.
McDaniel was first elected in 1988
and took office in January 1989. She
worked in the treasurers office as a
staffer under Alvina Craig and later
Opal Meyers after her high school
graduation in 1981.
Third
District
County
Commissioner Dave Pracht said
hes also on the fence about running
for another term in 2024. Pracht was
first elected in 2016 when longtime
commissioner from the 3rd District
Gene Highberger retired.
I just havent decided yet,
Pracht said Friday.
County elected offices are fouryear terms and are salaried positions with state retirement and paid
health benefits.
Anderson County Sheriff Vern
Valentine previously announced
he did not plan to seek re-election,
which prompted announcements by
three Republican office seekers
undersheriff Wes McClain, deputy
Rob Smith and Anderson County
Emergency Preparedness Director
and Garnett City Commissioner
Mark Locke.
First-term Anderson County
Attorney Elizabeth Oliver has
announced her intention to run
again. Steve Wilson, a Garnett
native who recently relocated to the
area in retirement, is seeking petition signatures to file to run the

GARNETT A Garnett native who made

nomination
for
Anderson
County
Attorney
Friday,
becoming the first
candidate to file in the
race to presumptively
contest current county attorney Elizabeth
Oliver for the post.
Steve Wilson said
Wilson
though hes kept his
law license current in
retirement he hasnt actively practiced
officially since 2012, but hes attracted
to the position because he has a strong
desire to be of service in the community
hes always called home.
Im from here. I love it here. I want
to find some way to be useful and I have
some abilities I think can be put to use,
Wilson told the Review.
After graduating from Garnett High
School in 1969, Wilson served five years
it he U.S. Air Force before getting an
associates degree from Johnson County

THE SENTINEL
TOPEKA Low-income families fare much
better under the flat tax proposed LAST
week by the Kansas House and Senate leadership team than under Governor Kellys plan,
according to an analysis by the Sentinels
owner, Kansas Policy Institute.
Under current law, a married couple with
two kids with an adjusted gross income (AGI)
of $40,000 has a taxable income of $23,000 and
pays $713 in income taxes. Kellys proposal
with the standard deduction would save this
couple $62. Bu that sam family saves $277
with the flat tax proposal, however.
The biggest difference comes from exempting the first $12,300 from taxation. That
change also means a family of four with AGI
of $31,700 would pay no tax, but they would
pay $394 under Kellys plan.
Governor Laura Kellys plan increases
the standard deduction but keeps the tiered
rate system that tops out at 5.7%. The House
and Senate Leadership plan has the same
increase in the standard deduction, provides
a larger personal deduction, exempts the first
$6,150 single / $12,300 married from taxation,
and a flat rate of 5.25% on taxable income.
Both proposals reduce residential property taxes and eliminate the state sales tax
on food and the state income tax on Social
Security. But all tax payers save more money
with the 5.25% flat tax.
The dollar savings are larger for those
with the highest incomes because they pay
the highest tax rates at present. A family
with $200,000 AGI now pays $9,516 in state
income tax, which is an effective tax rate of
4.8%. The family with $40,000 AGI pays $713,
which is an effective tax rate of 1.8%. Under
the flat tax, the effective tax rates drop to
4.4% and 1.1%, respectively.
Governor Kellys claim that the flat tax
will result in large budget deficits isnt born
out in state finance figures. Analysis by
Kanas Legislative Research with adjustments for the flat tax now in House Bill 2284
shows the state would still have a $4.5 billion
surplus after three full years of flat tax.
According to the Tax Foundation, four

Colony Christian Church Nathanaels Conversion
Pastor Chase Riebel's message "Nathanael's Conversion"
was from John 1:43-51. When
Nathanael questioned whether
Jesus could really be as good
as people were saying Peter
simply said come and see.
Brant McGhee read from
Matt26:26-29 for communion
meditation. Brant cautioned
to not let communion become
so routine that it loses its
meaningfulness. There is
nothing boring or tiresome
about thoughtfully thanking
Jesus for His sacrifice. Danny
Mattheis announced that
Trevor Kennington left for New
Mexico where he will spend a
few months before serving in
Kuwait.
The worship team Elka,
Ursula and Mike Billings was
accompanied by Anna Riebel
on bass, Ben Prasko on keyboard and Ethan Prasko on
percussion. Songs included
"Living Hope", "O Praise the
Name" and "Evidence".
Sunday service begins at

The truth of the matter
Jesus tells us in John 14:6
that he is the way and the truth
and the life. No one comes
to the Father except through
him. I would like to focus this
article on Jesus reference to
being the truth. A Biblical
definition of truth is conformity to fact or actuality. Truth
is the one attribute of God referenced in the text above that
we can attempt to adopt as our
own. To be completely truthful, within the current world
system however is impossible.
Truth has become a matter of
perception. There are those
who say there are no absolute
truths. That statement in itself
is false if the previous statement is true.
In Romans 1:25 the Apostle
Paul speaking to the Romans
concerning Gods wrath
against mankind says, They
(the Hebrews) exchanged
the truth of God for a lie and
worshiped and served created things rather than the
creator-who is to be forever
praised. In my own life I have
found it easier to be honest
with others rather than myself.
No one else knows if you are
are honest with yourself except
God. Exchanging the truth for
a lie can be very beneficial for
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
us. In the prevailing world
order, truth being how it is
perceived by someone makes
our options limitless. Political
parties, powerful corporations
as well as individuals create an
agenda to support their falsehood, devoid of any conformity
to fact or actuality. The lie
then becomes a desire for those
who are exposed to it and the
exchange is complete. We are
then faced with the reality of
having to make a choice.
Following Jesus example
seriously limits our options it
does not expand them. In order
to do this we must step out
of the crowd and realize that
Jesus statement about him
being the truth is an absolute
truth. We will focus on that
truth or we will focus on our
own perception. Will you trust
yourself or trust Jesus?

OPINION
Media buries Bidens primary challengers
Joe Bidens presidency is bursting with all
the swagger and success of Jimmy Carter. There
are even six American hostages in Israel. His
polling is absolutely dismal. But Carter faced a
rough primary season with Ted Kennedy. The
Democrats and their media allies have suppressed all primary opponents for Biden.
The polls clearly suggest broad distaste for
this president. On Sunday, ABC This Week
host Jonathan Karl was breaking the bad news
to Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Our poll this
morning has Bidens approval rating at 33%.
Thats historically low. (He left out the 58%
disapproval.) Karl added only 31% approve of
Bidens handling of the economy. But all Karl
could ask Pritzker was, How does he turn that
around?
Does anyone think if Donald Trump had an
approval rating of 33% in 2020, Karl wouldnt
ask a Republican
how on Earth anyone
Phillips complained

and suggest he would

ed another number:
Just 28% think that
President Biden has the mental sharpness to
effectively serve for another term. So how does
he address those concerns, those very real concerns that voters have? Later in the interview, Karl offered a number from a different network, that CBS found 68% disapprove of Bidens
handling of the border. And yet he asked, How
does the president address this going forward?
Naturally, this spurred Pritzker to repeat all his
attacks on Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for sending
illegal immigrants to Illinois.
So why isnt there major opposition to Biden?
Start with this ugly fact: Pro-Biden media outlets dont want to give opponents any airtime.
Then there are the individual states blocking
Biden opponents from getting on the ballot.
ABCNews.com reported in December on
some of those antics. In late November, Florida
Democrats quietly submitted a list of candidates to their secretary of state — and only Biden
was on it. The move is expected to cause the
cancellation of a primary. Democracy triumphs
again?

NATIONAL COMMENTARY
TIM GRAHAM NEWSBUSTERS
Marianne Williamson and Cenk Uygur sounded
the alarm over this authoritarian and unconstitutional decision, but you wouldnt know
from watching TV. Nothing died in darkness!
You cant prove it was Biden!
The same thing happened in North Carolina
and Tennessee and Massachusetts — Biden alone
was the list. Perversely, a spokesman for
North Carolinas Democratic Party told the
Biden challengers they did not reach the standards for their nomination: a candidacy that
is generally advocated and recognized in the
news media.
Phillips complained to Politico that since
declaring his candidacy on Oct. 27, he hasnt
been interviewed once on MSNBC, or the big
Sunday talk shows. CNNs had him on, but not
in a town hall setting like the Republicans this
cycle, or congressional representative like Eric
Swalwell and Seth Moulton in the last cycle.
The Republicans have held five debates, and
the Democrats have had zero, even if polls show
voters would like to see Biden debate (to see how
spry he is). As Phillips complained, How can
Democrats say were fighting for democracy…
yet removing me from the ballot in Florida and
North Carolina? … How can you say you are for
free speech and protecting freedom and democracy and not even consent to doing one debate?
These would be great questions for reporters.
But the people who march around touting themselves as the guardians of democracy are the
ones squashing this primary race like a barrel
of grapes.

The media claimed the Iowa Caucus which
Trump won is only because Iowa is full of White
Christians, as if being a Christian and or White
is a bad thing.
So Joe Biden goes to Valley Forge for more
whining about Trump and the conservative
Republicans being the existential threat to the
United States of America, while murderers and
MS13 thugs waltz across our southern border
bringing fentanyl and chaos. Not long ago, Biden
told us climate change was the biggest enemy
the U.S. faces, while Russian tanks were rolling
into Ukraine and Hamas monsters were sawing
the heads off of Israeli babies after raping and
dismembering their mothers. Every Democrat in
the Senate and the Congress supports this idiot,
All eyes on Justice Thomas, but none on Ketanji Jackson
ProPublica, the lefts favorite unbiased
investigative journalism group, spent the better part of 2023 harassing Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas over alleged ethics
violations but was absent at the wheel when it
came to investigating the real dirt hidden by
progressive Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Most will recall ProPublicas savage campaign to accuse Thomas of corruption, taking
lavish trips funded by court influencers,
and spinning insider deals all of which
were later dismissed as superfluous claims
meant to damage Thomas reputation.
Then the news broke in December that
his colleague on the court, Justice Jackson,
may have intentionally omitted payments
to her husband on her past financial disclosures. ProPublica spent nearly a year dragging Thomas through the mud for a number
of allegations but failed to expose any other
abuses of power by leftist justices.
Why did ProPublica leave other justices
who were presumably easy targets alone?
Well, they are the attack arm of the Democrat
Party and presumably shun friendly fire.
Recall that ProPublica claims to expose
abuses of power on both sides of the political
aisle. In reality, the group only hunts down
abusers who hold conservative values, as
I discuss in my recent deep-dive exposing
ProPublicas bias. My study puts a real figure to that long-held suspicion: ProPublica
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
BRONSON WINSLOW THE FEDERALIST
is 23 times more likely to target conservatives
than liberals, after an exhaustive survey of the
groups political reporting. Just dont expect
them to admit it.
That complaint by the conservative Center
for Renewing America alleges genuine corruption claiming that Jackson willfully
failed to disclose her husbands malpractice
consulting income for more than a decade
while serving on the federal bench.
The Conference should open an investigation to determine if Justice Jackson needs
to remedy this potential omission. Given the
need to ensure the equal application of the
law and the tendency of these violations to
create serious recusal issues and conflicts of
interest, the Conferences prompt attention is
of paramount public importance, the group
wrote in the letter to the Judicial Conference.
Jackson deserves to be treated as innocent
until proven guilty, a right many on the left
failed to provide Thomas last year. But if true,
it not only calls into question her trustworthiness, its a devastating blow to the lefts campaign for a new Supreme Court ethics code,
which was always a partisan effort to boost
Democrat power, anyway.
In practice, that means targeting Thomas
to pressure him to recuse from key cases or
resign from the court entirely, paving the
way for a new progressive majority to do
the lefts bidding. That includes ProPublicas
far-left financial backers, whod probably be
furious if the group fired upon a Democratappointed justice.
ProPublicas top donor, after all, is the
Sandler Foundation, which also bankrolls the
American Constitution Society and Campaign
Legal Center, two left-wing groups coincidentally cited as experts in ProPublicas
Thomas expos.
And what about the other left-leaning justices?
By ProPublicas own reporting, both
Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan
have reaped lucrative investment returns
during their tenures on the nations top court.

The one thing Democrats will never do to defend democracy
Joe Biden went to Valley Forge to give a
big speech telling us how much he cares about
defending democracy against the threat represented by Donald Trump. How much does
President Biden care? Enough to give a speech
defending democracy, one of whats sure to be
many if Trump is his opponent.
Bidens alarm about the precariousness
of the American system, though, will never
translate into actions he wouldnt otherwise
want to take.
To wit, if Joe Biden were, as a matter of the
principle, devoted to defending democracy at
all costs, the first thing he would do would be
to step aside for some younger, more capable,
less radioactive Democrat with a much better
chance of beating Trump.
Biden taking this step would be politically
electric, underlining how seriously he takes
Trumps challenge to the republic and perhaps proving to some skeptics that his rhetoric about defending democracy is more than
simply rhetoric.
Biden made much in his hackneyed speech
— it probably could have been written by a
precocious eighth-grader in an AP government class — of a painting in the U.S. Capitol
of George Washington resigning his commission.
Biden correctly calls it a sublime act,
because Washington, who could have been
tempted to leverage his position after the
Revolution for personal and political gain,
gives up power in the service of his ideals
instead. Biden makes the contrast between
the statesmanship depicted in the painting
and Jan. 6, which is fair enough.
It probably doesnt even occur to him,
though, that if a supremely talented military
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
and political leader in his prime could step
aside for the good of the whole, it should
be much easier for a hack politician who is
increasingly rickety and unpopular to make a
selfless sacrifice for his party and, as he sees
it, his country.
No? No. Of course not.
Bidens defense of democracy has to end
with him in the White House again, not some
other Democrat who might vanquish Trump
easily. (Granted, Kamala Harris would complicate a Biden-stepping-aside scenario, but
if the republic is at risk, perhaps Democrats
could also be honest about how dreadful Harris
is and nominate someone else — although now
we are really entering the realm of fantasy.)
OK, so Biden isnt voluntarily going anywhere. But if the stakes this November are so
world-historical, surely the defense of democracy should include some moderation on progressive causes that are easy political targets
for Trump.
Consider the chaos at the border, which, if
Trump makes it back to the White House, will
be one of the major reasons. Would saving the
republic make it worth going beyond whatever border deal might be in the offing with
congressional Republicans and admitting that
the Trump policies worked and should be
restored immediately? Or is allowing millions of illegal immigrants into the country
more important than increasing the odds that
democracy itself survives beyond 2024?
Finally, if substantive concessions are too
painful, theres always the possibility of staking out some genuinely new ground in the
democracy debate itself. Imagine if Biden said
that democracy is so important that no one
should be striking his probable opponent from
the ballot. Or if he said he now realizes that
he, too, let down the constitutional order by
undertaking executive orders that exceeded
his authority and that, on second thought, he
needs to lead by example in complete faithfulness to the system.
Would that kill him? Evidently, yes.
Bidens position is that democracy is under
such a threat that he — the man with abysmal
approval ratings who most Americans believe
cant possibly serve a second term — needs
to run again to eke out a narrow, no-margin-for-error victory against the man who
embodies the threat.
Faith in our system of government, patriotism itself, supposedly demands nothing else.
And if Biden flubs it, which is a real possibility? Then, I guess its, Oh, well, democracy
can always be saved again in the 2026 midterms.

The name is in reference
to the Heroes of the American
Civil War. The very first advertisement for Hero fruit jars
was in 1868. Once the Mason

adopted the Mason name.
#2 – This is another one of
those mystery finds. This item
is made of brass and is quite
ornate as you can see. It shows
no signs of being attached or
broken off of anything. Has it
been some type of brooch or
other jewelry? Perhaps it was

it, I certainly would appreciate
hearing from you.

Yet ProPublica has ignored
these facts in favor of a partisan witch hunt against
the lefts favorite villain.
Anyone whos followed court

Pioneer Hardware, 511 S
Oak, will be closing at the end

Haight said they had experienced a 25 percent increase
in business at the Burlington

The two-year-old store did not

Burlington likely due to the

Old court records currently physically stored in a

Courthouse will soon be a digital copy at a fraction of the
physical volume of paper.
Kansas law requires that original records be kept for specific,

County are nearly full. The
County Commissioners voted
at a recent meeting to start
the painstaking process of converting the records to digital
format to be stored on compact
discs. Duane Eyman says that
due to consistent professional decisions made following
his motorcycle crash are the

the proposed ethanol plant will

At least fourteen deer carcasses were found dumped off
the side of the Fourth Street
Bridge onto the frozen Cedar
Creek below last week. Joshua
DeHoux, Anderson Countys
natural resource officer for the
Kansas Department of Wildlife
and Parks said that the deer
appeared to be lawfully killed
and not the victims of poaching, but that the dumping of the
carcasses was considered littering. An Edgerton woman will
serve time in a federal prison
for her role in supplying a fatal
cocktail of drugs to a young
Garnett man in July 2011. The
woman, the victims aunt, was
sentenced to five years in federal prison and three years
of post-release supervision as
part of a plea deal on federal
distribution of oxymorphone
charges. March 24 is the tentative and long-awaited date for
the tax sale. Anderson County
Counselor James Campbell
told commissioners last week
that the date has been set but
not officially due to his attendance to a trial that could take
up to seven weeks. Campbell
said he should be able to attend
if it is being held in the last
full week of March. County
officials have been organizing
a delinquent property tax sale
after years of delays, hoping
to recoup some of the more
than $310,000 owed in past due
taxes. The last sale was nearly
a decade ago in May 2004. The
county published its official list
of delinquent properties this
fall, giving owners notice that
they had to meet the October
17 deadline to be removed from
the auction listing. At the time
of publication, 56 properties
were eligible for sale, but some
owners have paid their delinquent taxes thereby removing
them from the sale bill. Tax
sales allow the government to
recoup unpaid personal property taxes, even if the property
is sold for less than the amount
of taxes owed. Bids for the
properties at the next sale in
March will start at $20 to cover
the filing fees.

USPS offers little help for Review delivery problems
GARNETT United States
Postal Service management
offered no explanations last
week for out-of-the ordinary
poor delivery of The Anderson
County Review experienced by
numerous subscribers during
the recent single-digit cold
snap that affected much of the
Midwest.
Garnett Publishing, Inc.,
publishers of the Review,
received numerous calls from
subscribers about late delivery of the January 9 edition,
and a number of those papers
had still not been delivered by
Friday, Jan. 19.
It makes it hard to justify
continuing to pay postage and
printing costs when we can just
deliver it electronically, said
Review publisher Dane Hicks.
The hardest thing to wrap
your head around is what actually happens to editions of the
paper that never get delivered
at all? Where do those papers
go?
A statement from Mark
Inglett, communications specialist with the USPS said the
agency was committed to providing the best possible service
to customers and apologized
for any inconvenience they
may have experienced.
We're delivering as much
mail as we can, as safely as possible, Inglett said in a statement. He referred subscribers
who had still not received their
paper to www.usps.com to
click the contact us link.
Local editions of the Review
are delivered each Tuesday
morning to the Garnett post
office and go out that day with
local carriers, but some editions are dispatched to Bulk
Mail Centers where they are
routed to other local delivery
offices across the region and the
country. Hicks said delivery
complaints were received from
several areas in the region but
outside Garnett local delivery,
including Centerville, Moran,
Princeton and Olathe.
Hicks said delivery problems
several years ago prompted a
review of options for electronic
delivery, but the majority of
both subscribers and advertisers said they preferred hard
copy production and delivery.
Paid subscribers to the paper
can currently receive a digital
version of the Review Tuesday
morning by email at no extra
charge while their hard copy
follows later in the mail.
Costs for periodicals class
mail newspapers, magazines and other publications
increased Sunday by the USPS
along with a 2 hike in the
cost of a First Class Mail stamp
from 66 to 68.

WINTER…
It occurs when your body loses
heat faster than it can produce
heat. This causes a dangerously low body temperature. Older
adults, babies, children, and
people with certain health conditions are more at risk.
Driving in Winter Conditions
Check your vehicle emergency supplies kit and replenish it if necessary.
Bring your cell phone
and make sure the battery is
charged.
Plan to travel during daylight and, if possible, take
another person with you.
FROM PAGE 5
never heat your home with a
cooking oven or stove.
Act Fast if You See Signs of
Frostbite or Hypothermia
Frostbite is when a part of
your body freezes. Your nose,
ears, cheeks, chin, fingers, and
toes often are the first affected.
People may experience pain,
numbness, and a change of skin
color.
Hypothermia can kill you.

Local Women in Agriculture conference
to offer knowledge, networking
By Carol Engle, Frontier Ext.
District Communications and
Marketing Manager
OTTAWA, Kan. Local
women involved in any facet
of agriculture are encouraged
to attend a one-day Women in
Agriculture conference to be
held Wednesday, Mar. 20, at
Ottawa Memorial Auditorium,
301 S. Hickory Street in Ottawa.
The event will open at 9 a.m.
and feature a keynote address
on advocating for agriculture
by Brandi Buzzard Frobose.
Sessions throughout the day
will include those focused on
land lease basics and rental
rates, mental health and agricultural stress, and crop insurance/livestock risk protection
insurance. Lunch will be provided, and there is no cost for it
or registration.
We hope this local conference will provide good information with reduced costs
and travel for our clientele,
said Ryan Schaub, Frontier
Extension District crop production and farm management
agent. Small groups tend to
converse more, added Rod
Schaub, Frontier District livestock agent. We want participants to share thoughts and ask
questions so that everyone gets
the most out of this program.
Both agents expressed the
desire that conference attendees gain knowledge from the
event. While the meeting is
named Women in Ag, it was
created to help everyone, the
agents said. The sponsors want
attendees to take this information home and put it to use in
their day-to-day activities on
the farm.
To register, contact the
Frontier Extension District
Garnett office at 785.448.6826.
In addition to the Frontier
Extension District, sponsors for the event include the
Farm Bureau Associations in
Franklin and Osage counties,
the Franklin County and Osage
County Conservation Districts,
Ottawa Coop and Frontier
Farm Credit.
A blast of bitterness and cold
Despite living my entire
life in Kansas, Ive never fully
acclimated to the blasts of
polar weather we occasionally receive. Im fully prepared
for cabin fever to set in these
next few days as another round
of bone-chilling cold sweeps
across the landscape.
Thankfully for wheat and
other plants trying to survive
the Arctic air, theres a warm
blanket of snow to provide
some protection. Of course,
warm is a relative term when
actual temperatures are below
zero.
Brief bouts with the cold are
expected in winter, which is
also why January trails only
February as the worst month
in Kansas. The heat and
humidity of August ranks it a
distant third. Id much rather
deal with sweating when walking outside than the routine of
bundling up and still feeling
the cold seep in.
Maybe Im still slightly
miffed about not being able to
sleep in and watch The Price
is Right on snow days when
I hit high school. On the days
it was too dangerous to drive
2 miles to school but perfectly
acceptable to traverse 6 miles
to the ranch.
The work wasnt really the
issue, it was the amount of
time the cold added to simple
tasks. Tractors took longer to
start even with block heaters.
Gate latches took longer to
undo with thick gloves and the
frozen hinges took more effort
to free. Removing the twine
from frozen bales was its own
adventure, as was navigating
snow-packed gravel roads. The
one benefit, if you want to call
it that, is there is no mud, but
frozen ground is only a slight
consolation.
One particular polar event
that still stands out didnt
involve more than an inch of
snow, but it was so cold school
was canceled. It was one of
those days where the high was
negative something and the
wind chill was instant frostbite.
As usual the tractor took
longer to start, the gates took
longer to open and the haybales
were frozen solid, but the day
didnt end once all the cattle
had been fed, with some extra
hay for bedding.
The rest of the day was spent
checking and rechecking ponds
to ensure cattle had access to
water. It took about an hour
to make the rounds, which
included using a double-bit axe
to chop holes through the icedover ponds. We managed to
take short breaks in the house
between rounds, but we repeat-

1A Girls Coach of the Year!
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 01-23-2024 / SUBMITTED
Crest cross country head coach Kaitlyn Cummings was recently voted 1A Girls Coach of the Year.
Pictured from left are: Aubrey Allen, Josie Walter, Coach Kaitlyn Cummings, Peyton Schmidt and Kaylee
Allen.
A resurrection of the Crest program
leads to Coach of the Year honors
COLONY – In the Fall of 1999,
Coach Kaitlyn Cummings took
a leap of faith and with the support of the school resurrected
a dormant Crest cross country
program.
Coach Cummings knew
heading into it that numbers were always going to be
an issue as it takes 4 athletes
to compete at the team level.
What makes matters worse is
being at a 1A school that has
limited enrollment and a volleyball program to compete for
with athletes. That increases
the challenge of building a successful program.
A couple of years ago, Coach
Cummings had a feeling nothing but good things were ahead
for her if she can keep the core
of her 8th grade team in tact.
That trio of 8th graders
immediately made their impact
felt as the next year they were
finishing near the top of meets
as freshmen.
That trio would be Josie
Walter, Payton Schmidt and
Aubrey Allen.
As freshmen, they spearheaded a 3rd place finish, with
the help of Kyree Puckett as
the fourth runner, at the state
competition in Wamego.
They would do themselves
one better in the 2023 season,
finishing 2nd place at State
with the help of Aubreys sister, Kaylee Allen, being the
fourth runner on the team.
Kaylee was a senior though
so now Coach Cummings is
searching for that 4th option
so the team can continue their
drive for a state title.
Fast forward 5 years and
now the Lady Lancers are in
search of at least another runner to fill out the team.
I have someone in mind.
Were trying to convince her,
Cummings said.
Coach Cummings also has
high hopes for her boys squad
this year as they are returning a state qualifier in Gunner
Ellington and may have a full
team that will allow them to
compete as a team this fall as
well.
Bulldog boys finish as runner-ups
IOLA – The Anderson County
boys traveled to Iola last week
for the War on 54 tournament
and came home with a runner-up finish after dominant
wins over overmatched opponents in the first two rounds.
In the opening round last
Tuesday, the AC Bulldogs made
easy work of Yates Center,
cruising to a 76-15 victory.
A pair of players outscored
Yates Center on their own for
the Bulldogs. Brayden Wheat
led the way with 31 points and
Noah Porter finished with 16
after tallying 14 in the first
quarter alone.
Wheat knocked down 6
three-pointers, scored 8 points
in the first and 12 in the third
quarter to lead the rout.
Ten Bulldogs hit the scoring
column in the game. Preston
Kueser notched 8 points, Jack
Dykes scored 6, A.J. Hawkins
chipped in with 5 points
and the trio of Aidan Steele,
Christian Barnett and Eli
Martin all scored 2 and Rigin
Jasper scored one.
In Thursday nights semifinal game, Anderson County
squared off with the Crest
Lancers. Early on, the Lancers
gave the Bulldogs all they
could handle despite being a
1A school facing a 3A school.
Crest came out firing on all
cylinders and after the first
quarter they had the Bulldogs
in shock as they led 17-9.
AC rallied in the second quarter behind Porter who scored a
game high 28 points and led the
highlights with a pair of dunks
on the night. After 6 points
in the first, Porter notched 9
more in the second to help his
squad outscore Crest 18-7 in the
second to take a 27-24 lead into
intermission.
Porter would go on to notch a
triple double with 11 rebounds
and 10 steals as well on the evening.
Despite trailing, Crest had to
happy to be it was a one possession game at intermission.
Anderson County continued to attack coming out of the
break, tallying 17 points in the
third quarter while limiting
the Lancers to 8 to open up a
44-32 lead.
While within striking dis-
tance heading into the fourth,
the Lancers could sense the
game slipping away and that
momentum continued into the
fourth quarter as Crest was
held scoreless as the Bulldogs
finished with 13 points in the
fourth for a 57-32 victory.
In Friday nights championship game, the host Iola
Mustangs took the early lead
and wouldnt look back en
route to a 63-43 win.
The Bulldogs fell behind
16-11 after the first quarter and
35-21 at halftime.
After an even third quarter with both teams scoring
13 points, Iola outscored the
Bulldogs once again in the
fourth quarter 15-9 to pull away
for the win.
Noah Porter led the Bulldogs
with 14 points, Preston Keuser
was also in double figures with
10 and A.J. Hawkins was just
shy of double digits with 9
points.
Aidan Steele scored 4,
Brayden Wheat 3, Jack Dykes 2
and Christian Barnett rounded
out the scoring with a single
point on the night.
Lancer boys finish 3rd in tournament
IOLA – Last week the Crest
Lancers finished 3rd in the War
on 54 Tournament in Iola winning 2 of 3 games.
In the opening round on
Tuesday, the Lancers rolled
past Humboldt 44-27.
Crest led 13-5 after the opening quarter and saw their lead
trimmed slightly in the second
quarter as Humboldt outscored
Crest 8-6 to make the score 20-14
at intermission.
The Lancers responded
well after halftime, outscoring Humboldt 14-8 in the third
quarter and 10-5 in the fourth
to pull away for the 17-point
victory.
Ryan Golden led the way
with 18 points. Golden connected on 5 of his 10 shots on the
evening, including 2 of 2 from
three-point land. He added 10
rebounds as well to record a
double double.
Rogan Weir connected on 5
of 6 shots and scored 13 points
and also added 5 assists and 2
steals.
Jacob Zimmerman scored
5 points but also added 8
rebounds for the Lancers.
The only other scorers
were Gentry McGhee and Levi
Prasko with 4 points each.
In the semifinal game on
Thursday, the Lancers squared
off against the much larger
Anderson County Bulldogs but
early on they didnt let that faze
them as they led 17-9 after the
opening 8 minutes.
Unfortunately
for
the
Lancers the Bulldogs seemed
to wear down the Lancers, not
only physically but mentally as
well.
In the second quarter the
Bulldogs rallied with an 18-7
advantage to take a 27-24 lead
into halftime.
It was much of the same
in the third quarter, AC outpaced the Lancers 17-8 and then
the wheels completely fell off
in the fourth quarter as the
Lancers were held scoreless as
the Bulldogs scored the games
final 13 points.
Golden led Crest with 15
points and 6 rebounds.
R. Wier added 7 points and
7 boards. Zimmerman and
McGhee both tallied 4 points
on the night and Drake Wier
added two.
On Friday night, the
Lancers put their loss behind
them quickly. After struggling through the first quarter and behind a dominant
second quarter, Crest downed
Marmaton Valley 49-40.
It was once again Golden
leading the way for Crest with
23 points, 18 rebounds and 3
blocks.
Zimmerman chipped in
with 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3
blocks.
McGhee scored 6 points on
the night and R. Wier added 5
points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds.
Prasko and Denton Ramsey
rounded out the scoring with 4
and 3 points respectively.

Lady Bulldogs War on 54 Champions
IOLA – After opening with a
blowout and eeking out a
second round victory, the
Anderson County Bulldogs
downed Humboldt in the
championship game on Friday
night to win the War on 54
Tournament hosted by Iola.
On Tuesday night, the
Bulldogs erupted for a 77-10 win
against an overmatched Yates
Center squad.
Anderson County led 27-0
after the first quarter and 41-1
at halftime.
It was much of the same
in the third quarter as the
Bulldogs outscored Yates
Center 25-4 to lead 66-5 heading
into the fourth.
With a continuously running
clock and a bevy of reserves
in the game, the Bulldogs outscored Yates Center 11-5 in the
fourth.
Caitlyn Foltz had a record
setting night with 37 points and
12 rebounds.
Her 37 points were spearheaded by incredible threepoint shooting as she connected on 11 of 15 attempts from
behind the arc.
The 11 three-pointers topped
the Bulldog record of 7 by Lexee
McDonnell in 2002 against
Osawatomie. Foltzs 37 points
is second on the record books
behind McDonnells 32 points
against Ottawa, also in 2002.
Kylie Disbrow was the only
other player in double figures
with 12 points and added 14
rebounds and 3 blocks.
Rilyn Sommer chipped in
with 8 points, 7 rebounds and
4 steals. Brooklyn Kellerman
and Alexis Overstreet both
added 5 points. Kellerman also
tallied 5 assists and 3 rebounds.
Brylie Kohlmeier had 5
points and 8 rebounds and
Kailyn Honn rounded out the
scoring with 3 points on the
night.
The Bulldogs dominated
many statistical categories on
the night but the largest disparities were a 41-0 in points off
turnovers and a 34-0 advantage
in offensive rebounds.
In the second round, the
Bulldogs had their hands
full on Thursday night with
Cherryvale, hanging on for a
34-32 win.
Cherryvale led a majority of
the first half before Anderson
County went on a late run midway through the second quarter to take a 15-10 lead into
intermission.
The Bulldogs held a slim 9-8
advantage in the third to open
up a six point lead, 24-18, heading into the final quarter. AC
led by as many as 11 points in
the period before Cherryvale
clawed their way back into the
game.
Cherryvale would continue to battle and briefly took a
one-point lead in the waning
moments before the Bulldogs
rallied to score the final 3
points of the game for the victory.
Foltz and Disbrow led the
way offensively with 14 points
each.
Disbrow added 10 rebounds
and 10 blocks to record a triple
double.
Rilyn Sommer added 4 points
to go along with 9 rebounds and
4 steals.
Taylor Clark was the only
other scorer with 2 points and
also added 2 assists.
As the final score would
indicate, both teams struggled
offensively all night. AC only
shot 33% (12-36) and didnt connect on a three-pointer (0-2).
Cherryvale hit just 28% (11-40)
but did connect on 7 of 20 (35%)
from three-point land to keep
them in the game.
On Friday night, the
Bulldogs downed Humboldt
49-35 in the championship
game.
Disbrow and Foltz led the
way again for AC with 15 and
14 points respectively.
Kohlmeier and Clark both
scored 6 points in the game
as Sommer chipped in with 5
points and Overstreet added 3.

Webb City and Brody Latto of
Paola in the 5th place match.

dropping a match to Kannon
Crossland of Atchison County
Community to send Wittman to
the 5th place match, which he
