Kansas Senate floats plan for
constitutional amendment to limit
property value growth affecting taxes
BY PATRICK RICHARDSON
THE SENTINEL
TOPEKA For the third year in a row, the
Kansas State Senate is considering an amendment to the Kansas constitution that would limit
the increase in real estate valuation for property
tax purposes.
The resolution, Senate Concurrent Resolution
1603, would limit the annual valuation increase
of real property and mobile homes to 3%.
The Senate Committee on Assessment and
Valuation last week heard testimony for approximately two hours.
Kansas Policy Institute CEO Dave Trabert
spoke in favor of the amendment, noting that
property taxes in Kansas have increased exponentially for years. KPI owns The Sentinel.
Trabert said that from 1997 through 2023,
the last year for which numbers are available
taxes on residential properties in Kansas have
increased 342%, and overall real estate taxes are
up 296%. Over the same time period inflation has
increased 80%.
Additionally, Trabert said the amendment
is needed because residential property owners
have had an increasingly large share of the burden shifted onto them.
In 1997, residential property paid 39% of the
property tax; now it pays 55%, Trabert said.
Trabert noted in his written testimony that
in 2022 and 2023, many counties saw double-digit
valuation increasessome, like Anderson, Linn,
and Wyandotte counties, more than 40% over
two years.
Most of those counties lost population over

Trump promises Golden Age for
America, hits ground running with
scores of new policy orders
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WASHINGTON, D.C. As promised, Donald
Trump retook his Oval Office seat as the newly
elected 47th president of the United States on
Monday and began a whirlwind of promised
executive orders he says will correct the faulty
direction of the countrys past four years and
bring about The Golden Age of America.
The ceremony of Trumps inauguration
was conducted indoors according to official
sources due to cold weather, though security
concerns for the event no doubt had a bearing
on the decision after two attempts on the new
presidents life since last summer. The 26
degree outdoor temperature was warmer than
the inauguration of John Fitzgerald Kennedy
in 1961 which was held outside, the same
temperature as Barack Obamas in 2009 and
even warmer than President Ronald Reagans
second inauguration in 1985, all of which were
held according to tradition since 1801 in front
of the U.S. Capitol.
Trump won the November election after one
of the most bizarre presidential campaigns in
American history, after being beset by numerous dubious criminal prosecutions and civil
lawsuits. Democrats first nominated sitting
President Joe Biden, then replaced him with
vice president Kamala Harris in midstream of two genders and only two genders to federal

How did 447 dead
people in Kansas
attempt to register
to vote last March?
BY EARL GLYNN
WATCHDOG LAB
TOPEKA Dead men may tell no tales, but
apparently that didnt stop them from trying to
register to vote during most of 2024 right up
to the point the Social Security Administration
stopped verifying new voter registrations in
October.
Arizona; Michigan; Kansas each saw huge
percentages of new motor voter registrations
those made while supposed beating heart drivers were renewing their licenses at local license
offices at points during 2024 that couldnt
be confirmed by SSI. Civilian investigators in
Kansas have run into deadlock trying to figure
out why and from where these phantom registrations came. Those are answers it may take an
official legislative inquiry to uncover.
Long ago the motor voter bill enabled voter
registrations at state motor vehicle agencies
when applying for, or renewing, a drivers
license.

Chuck Cowan tops music career with induction to Kansas Music Hall of Fame
Many miles as touring it all culminates April 26th at
Liberty Hall in Lawrence with
bandmate for top stars Chucks induction into the
Kansas Music Hall of Fame.
An Emporia native, the
leads Cowan to award
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Bob Wills, of Bob
Wills and the Texas Playboys,
heard Chuck Cowan play the
guitar and sing when he was
12 years old, and wanted to
take Chuck on the road as
Wills toured the country. Hed
never seen a kid so young perform so confidently.
But Chucks mom said no.
That didnt stop Chuck from
pursuing a career over the
next six decades in rock and
roll and country music, and
83-year-old Cowan now lives
in Garnett where hes made
his home the last 15 years or
so, the most recent of which
he spent at Parkview Heights
Nursing Facility. Earlier
of this month, the KMHOF
announced Cowans induction along with some other
heavy hitters from the Kansas
music past. Tickets will be
announced for the induction
event at a later date.
A nominee must have lived
in the state of Kansas or the
greater KC metro area while
performing 20 or more years
ago and substantially contributed to the music scene either
locally or statewide.
The KMHOF website says
just being born in the state or
the KC metro area does not
constitute a possible nomination. A good example of this
is Joe Walsh, who was born in
Wichita, KS., but did not play
guitar until he had moved
from the state of Kansas. It
also doesnt accept someone
who lives across the border
in a neighboring state like
Oklahoma but played regularly in the state of Kansas.
It is perfectly acceptable
for the performer or band to
have moved out of state at a
later date to continue their
career as long as their roots
at one time or another were
established here, the websites qualifications page
reads.
Cowans career came about
in what may be defined as
the Golden Age of touring
music, when shows comprised
of multiple performers criscrossed the United States playing venues in towns large and
small for what was at the time
a fairly nominal ticket price.
The music scene was different
then with no internet for
music distribution the closest record store was the only
source for music. Television
was still a young medium with
only three channels; the radio
was the constant companion
of music fans young and old.
Cowan joined a touring
band in 1961 after his freshman year at Emporia State
Teachers College, as he
recounted to the Review in a
2010 interview, a fresh-faced
exuberant kid who would
have done anything to play
music for a living, and didnt
mind living on the pittance
that a touring back up musician got paid. His guitar work
was exceptional, as was his
lead and backing vocals, but
they didnt stand the way of
his being drafted into the U.S.
Army in 1964. Even then he
managed to form up as a supply sergeant with the Army
band at Fort Leonard Wood,

Mo. When his tour was done
he joined up with a private
scheduling operation to entertain American servicemen in
Southeast Asia.
After that a handful of
agents always seemed to be
able to provide work back in
those years, some high-paying deluxe gigs like the
Copacabana in New York and
Tokyo or the Golden Nugget
Riviera in Las Vegas and even
the Siam Intercontinental
Hotel in Bangkok. Cowan told
us if there was a live music
venue around the nation or
even the world which offered
a drink and a dance and a tune,
he probably played it.
As a mostly self-taught backing musician versed in blues,
jazz, rock and roll and country,
Cowan accompanied the likes
of Sammy Davis jr, Don Ho, the
Coasters and the Shirelles. He
worked on movie soundtracks
and played in groups including
Glenn Miller, Woody Herman,
Les Baxter, Clyde McCoy as
well as Bob Wills and the Texas
Playboys. It was a gig near his
hometown in 1958 where he
almost joined up with Wills.
Bob Wills was playing at a little town near Emporia and they
took me down to play for him,
Cowan remembered from that
exciting night as a 12-year-old.
He wanted to take me out of
the road but my mom wouldnt
go for it.

business interests are opposed
The Kansas Association
of School Boards and the
Kansas National Education
Association opposed the resolution in written testimony,
suggesting that limiting valuation increases would impact
school funding.
Kansas NEA opposes
changes in tax policy that
would negatively impact the
stability of state and local budgets in a way that would prevent constitutional funding of
the public school system. This
resolution could have a negative impact on public schools
by setting artificial caps on
property values that are used
in calculating the local option
budget, KNEA Director of
Government Relations and
Legislative Affairs Timothy R.
Graham said. This resolution
doesnt guarantee property tax
relief and could have the effect
of forcing some local entities
to raise the mill levy to ensure
status quo funding. Capping
the evaluation rate of property
could also lead policy makers
(sic) to be forced to raise rates
on other sources of revenue
like sales or income tax.
KNEAs claim about schools
not being constitutionally
funded is not true, however.
School funding is based on a
formula that is not impacted
by any change in property valuation or the amount of property taxes collected; schools will
still receive all the money due
them based on the funding for-

mula.
The Kansas Farm Bureau
also opposed the amendment,
citing concerns that it would
simply shift the burden from
residential to agricultural
property.
Kansas Farm Bureau (KFB)
has been advocating for lower
property taxes for years. KFB
policy supports a fair, just, and
equitable tax system that is not
detrimental to production agriculture, John Donely of KFB
wrote. While the proponents
of this constitutional amendment are attempting to reduce
property taxes, this amendment misses the mark. This
amendment could potentially
reduce property taxes for certain classes of property on certain years when the appraised
value of that property exceeds
3%; however, this truly only
shifts the burden to other classes of property that have not
exceeded an arbitrary percentage. This is a tax shift, not tax
relief.
Donley is correct that the
amendment will not reduce
taxes, but it will likely result
in taxes increasing at a much
lower rate than in recent years.
The adjacent table from
Traberts testimony shows that
a 15% valuation increase typically results in about a 13%
tax increase after local elected
officials reduce the mill rate
by about 1%. To achieve the
same 13% tax increase with a
3% valuation limit, however,
elected officials would have to
raise the mill rate by more than
10%, and after years of (falsely) equating changes in mill
rates with tax changes, Traber
said a 10% mill rate increase
is very unlikely. They would
likely increase the mill rate but
by a much lower amount, and
taxpayers would likely pay less
than if they would without the
limit on assessed valuation.
KFB, the Kansas Livestock
Association, and the Kansas
Chamber
of
Commerce
expressed concern that their
members may end up shouldering a larger share of the tax burden, but those taxpayers have
seen their share of the property
tax burden decline while residential property owners are
paying a much larger share of
property taxes.
Between 1997 and 2023, the
share of taxes paid by residential property jumped from
about 39% to 55%. The tax share
paid by the combination of the
Ag Land and Ag Improvements
categories dropped from 7.6%
to 7%, and the total share of
Commercial and Industrial
categories (real estate and
Machinery & Equipment) fell
from about 29% to about 24%.
The decline in the tax
burden for Commercial and
Industrial property mostly
results from a 2006 change that
exempts new machinery and
equipment from property tax;
some tax is still paid on pre2006 equipment still in use.
Ag Land is assessed on an
8-year rolling average of net

income to reflect changes in
commodity prices, drought,
and other factors. The chart
below shows periods of sharp
declines and valuation spikes
(blue line) and how values
would have changed at 3% per
year (orange line). Ag Land
retains the 8-year rolling average under the proposal, and the
constitutional amendment provides an additional benefit. The
shaded periods on the chart
are years when values would
have been much lower for tax
purposes with a 3% cap.
For example, the taxable
value jumped by 17% in 2014
and increased by 16% in 2015
(ironically, when commodity
prices tumbled). With the proposed constitutional amendment, the increases would
have been limited to 3%, and
the cumulative impact would
have saved farmers tens of millions of dollars since 1997, even
allowing for higher mill rates.
Ag Land interests are concerned about paying more
than they would without the
assessment limit because local
elected officials would impose
higher mill rates, but Trabert
says they should still be better
off with the limit because of the
cumulative effect of avoiding
double-digit increases.
The Senate Committee on
Assessment and Taxation may
later this week consider whether to recommend the bill for the
full Senate to pass.

FROM PAGE 1
In many states the Social
Security Administration was
tasked to verify the identity of
many of the new motor voter
registration applications.
The SSA publishes weekly
statistics by state showing the
number of Help America Vote
Verification (HAVV) transactions, along with some information about problems in the
verification process.
The Watchdog Lab published an article in June about
questions with the HAVV data
in many states that showed
problems in verifying voters.
Updates about these HAVV
problems in some states were
published every few weeks
(mostly on X) starting in
release in October.
Since October the Social
Security
Administrations
HAVV data page shows no new
weekly updates. Why?
Issues in HAVV records in 2024
Several states showed HAVV
data issues in 2024.
Here are three examples,
with the first two from swing
states:
Arizona:
In the update for the week
ending Oct. 12, 2024, the State of
Arizona set anall-time record
in the total number of HAVV
transactions with 161,182with
about 8.6% of those not matching Social Security records.
Why in the last reported
week ending Oct. 19, did the
non-match rate climb to almost
32%? Where in Arizona did
that happen?
Michigan set all-time record
highs in five of the last six
weeks before the data updates
stopped.
Why is the nonmatching rate so high in Michigan
every week? Over a third of
Michigans HAVV transactions
do not match Social Security
records all the time.
Kansas:
In Kansas for the week ending March 23, 2024 there were
447 HAVV matches to deceased
individuals of the 835 matches
that week.
Why would over half the
matches be to deceased that
week? Where in Kansas did
that happen?
In 2024 there were a total of
six weeks with >30% deceased
match rate in Kansas.

Department of Revenue.
The Kansas legislature and/
or Congress should investigate
the lack of transparency in the
problems evident in the HAVV
data with both state and federal
agencies unwilling to provide
any transparency about the
problems.
Background
The motor voter law (the
National Voter Registration
Act of 1993) enabled state motor
vehicle agencies to register voters.

license (or renewal) or a car
registration can now register

Charles Lee Parks of
Centerville, Kansas, age
87, passed away peacefully
January 20 at Richmond Health
Care Facility.
Charles was born December
7, 1937, to Melvin and Goldie
(Ranz) Parks at their rural
home near Westphalia. He was
the oldest of two children. He
attended primary school at
Sugar Valley School and high
school in Garnett, graduating
in 1955.
Charles grew up on an active
field and dairy farm. He knew
hard work, daily matters to be
addressed and resolved, helping neighbors and following
through.
On September 29, 1957, he
married Laura Holmes. They
made their home on a farm
near Centerville. This union
was blessed with two children,
Teresa and Richard.
Charles was a farmer at
heart but found that he also
had skills in carpentry, electrical and plumbing which
he received licensing to work
for others. He found that he
enjoyed working for others and established Parks
Construction. Many valued his
guidance and appreciated his
work.
Work was only a part of his
life. He was also very involved
with the First Baptist Church,
Garnett and the Gideons.

participated in many outreach
projects of the church. Driving
the church van and taking communion to homebound were a
part of the long history of living
out his faith. While his wife
was the church organist/pianist, he sang in the choir and
had a beautiful tenor voice. As
a Gideon, he attended many
meetings and was active in
bible distribution and telling
the story of what the Gideons
were about.
He was preceded in death
by his wife, Laura Parks,
parents, Melvin and Goldie
Parks, brother, Gilbert Parks,

We live in a day where
unity, in many ways, appears
to be a hopeless ideal and a
thing of the past. As our cultural becomes increasingly
polarized, we seem more and
more hostile toward those who
disagree with us. About the
only thing we can agree on is
that we are divided and its
the other sides fault. In the
Old Testament there was hostility between the Jews and the
Gentiles. It was cultural, racial
and religious, all at the same
time. The Jews held tightly
to the Old Covenant, that is
the law, which excluded the
Gentiles from participation
leaving them with no hope of
ever being right with God. If
the church is ever to be united, the Gospel of Jesus Christ
must be the primary and central focus. The Gospel is the
common belief that unites the
church and leads to the purpose of exalting Jesus above
all else. Therefore unity is not
the goal. Exalting Jesus above
all else is the goal. Unity is
the byproduct. The church has
long thought that it needed a
program of some kind to unite
the people. These programs
have worked to briefly excite
people toward a purpose but
have never brought about the
desired result.
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
Initially the church got it
right as we read in Acts 4:32,
All the believers were one in
heart and mind. The key word
here is believers. You cannot
unite unbelievers because they
see no advantage in laying
aside our differences for the
sake of the gospel. There is
nothing more counter-cultural
than laying aside our differences and few things more clearly
communicate the love of Christ
than laying aside our differences for the sake of the gospel.
One of the defining marks of a
people following Christ is uniting in mission. This provides
an amazing opportunity for the
church. The more divided our
cultural becomes, the more a
church united around the gospel of Jesus Christ stands out.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, January 23, 2025
OPINION
Mr. Trump, hear the forgotten American
At noon on Monday, something extraordinary happened. Donald Trump once again took
office as president of the United States. It is a
political comeback unrivaled in our nations
history.
There were balls and galas and fireworks
galore. All of the traditional ephemera of power,
all of the wealthy people strutting around in
their tuxedos taking selfies. This is how the
right set always congratulate themselves.
But they didnt win this election. The
hard-working people of America did.
Trump is not resuming residence at 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue because billionaires
wanted it. Elon Musk and the Silicon Valley
socialites didnt make this happen. Trump won
because Americans with thankless jobs, like
nurses, cops, plumbers, bus drivers and waitresses made it so.
I know this because I spent the entire election traveling the country talking to them. I
knew Trump would win because they wanted it.
Demanded it.
These were everyday working people who
told me that prices were too high, and the border is a national security threat. As one woman
in Bedford, Pennsylvania, asked me, How do I
know we wont be the next Springfield, Ohio,
where migrants have overrun the community?
In Springfield, where I traveled to hear the
real story, I was told that their community was
being destroyed, that young people couldnt rent
a house near their parents, because they were
going three to a room to Haitian migrants.
In Staunton, Virginia, I met business owners,
most of them self-described Democrats who
were really struggling. Some of them were ready
to give Trump a shot, not because they liked
him, but because they kind of trusted him.
In San Francisco, I met Democrats near the
end of their rope, so tired of mismanagement
they were willing to try anything.
In Chicago, the union guys I talked to didnt
love Trump, but were so terrified of Kamala
Harris incompetence and a Democratic Party
that gave them more promises than results that
they went for the Donald.
You can see the pattern. Trumps victory is
not some great mystery, it was the natural conclusion of a Biden presidency that consistently
put the American people and their interests last.
Scranton Joes presidency was and thankfully we can now say was a disaster on
almost every front. His hapless diplomatic
corps stoked war across the globe, his economic
team made basic groceries too expensive, and
COMMENTARY
DAVID MARCUS, THE FEDERALIST
his Department of Justice went to war with
Christianity.
On all of these fronts, Trump will be an
improvement. Thats why he was elected.
But as the Trump administration, with its
flashy meme coins and elegant balls, takes
power, a word of caution is in order. The people
I met on the road across America arent big fans
of rich folks in fancy dress promising to control
our lives.
The truck drivers elected Donald Trump, the
movers and construction workers elected him.
They wont be at the galas, they wont get to
hobnob with Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, who will
sit at a dais at Trumps beck and call.
And make no mistake, both those billionaires
have bent the knee in a way no everyday worker
in Brooklyn would, because the hardworking
American never has to. They just show up at
work, and then they, and only they, decide who
wins elections.
Trump has a generational opportunity to
make this country better for working men and
women. I dont think anybody doubts he wants
that, or will fight for it, and thats cause for optimism.
But the incoming Trump administration,
once the festivities and hollow compliments
from think tank millionaires have passed, better remember who really put them in power and
why.
Theres real hope, there really is, and there
is a sense that this administration can put this
country on a better foot. Polling shows 60% of
Americans are optimistic about the incoming
administration. That is great news.

PHONE FORUM
Well, I see someones calling in about the farmers not being the only one that are having a
hard time financially. I agree all businesses
are having trouble making ends meet. I would
like to clarify a few things to everyone of about
those farmers though. First off, you mention
we have a safety net with a guaranteed market
for our products. I sure wish you were right,
but the last time we had much help at all was
the last time Trump was president and he did
help us with the tariff money the United States
received. The last four years, though, under
Biden, even though we had 1960s prices for
a crops, I sure didnt see the safety net that
youre speaking of. Secondly, you assert that
plumbers, electricians and others dont have
a guarantee that they will sell anything and
cant collect unemployment on themselves.
The difference between these businesses and
farmers is that when their own costs go up they
pass that cost on to higher rates for what they
charge. Farmers are the only business that I
know of that cant do that. For instance, if the
local ethanol plant is paying four dollars for
corn that we need five dollars to cover expenses, were just out of luck. We have to take what
they say. Its been this way as long as Ive been
alive. You might remember that the next time
you eat a meal that a farmer has grown.

No room for men in Daughters of the American Revolution
A Texas Daughters of the American
Revolution Chapter (DAR) has decided to fight
back against its national organizations decision
to allow trans-identifying males into the historic
female group.
In a letter from the Martha Laird Chapter
with help from the Center for American Liberty
(CAL) it has pushed back against a threat
from its leadership that by prohibiting transgender males, the DAR would somehow lose its
tax-exempt status, Fox News reported.
The Daily Wires Michael Knowles previously revealed in a viral thread on X how
a group of daughters were channeling their
rebellious spirit of their forebears by fighting
back this time building a larger, grassroots
effort to affirm the original intent of the bylaws
and prevent men from continuing to invade
their genealogical society.
Knowles shared details of an internal DAR
FAQ document which said that members are
expected to pretend that transgender women
have always been eligible and that their inclusion took place organically, as if implicit in
bylaws written before transgenderism was
even thought to exist.
Members have been told that in order to
keep our nonprofit status we must allow men
who submit an altered birth certificate indicating they are female to be eligible members, a
letter on the DAR Facebook page read.
Our hope is that once members and the
NBOM [National Board of Management] can
feel confident that our nonprofit status is not in

jeopardy, they will no longer feel intimidated
and vote to allow this bylaw amendment to be
heard at Continental Congress, it added.
The Martha Laird Chapter of the National
Society of the Daughters of the American
Revolution has engaged the Center for American
Liberty to evaluate (1) whether the National
Society (DAR) has a First Amendment right to
change membership requirements to exclude
trans-identifying men from eligibility, and
(2) whether such a change would impact the
DARs tax-exempt status, the letter posted on
Facebook read.
The answer to question 1., it found was Yes,
and to question 2., it decided was No. The letter concluded, If the DAR changes its bylaws
to exclude trans-identifying men from membership eligibility, it is possible that a state or local
government could bring an enforcement action
against the DAR under a public accommodations law, but the DAR would have a strong
First Amendment defense to such an action if
it determined that admitting trans-identifying
men interferes with its expressive message and
articulated reasons why this is the case.
Moreover, it is unlikely that the IRS or the
District of Columbia would revoke the DARs
non-profit status over such a bylaw change
given the facts that there is likely no public
policy opposing exclusion of transgender-identifying men from female-only private genealogical
organizations and that any such attempted revocation would likely violate the DARs associational rights, the letter added.
The Martha Laird Chapter with the
endorsement of eleven other Chapters in
September 2024 submitted a second proposed
bylaw amendment to prohibit all men, including
trans-identifying males, from the group, after a
prior one was rejected on the basis that it would
put their nonprofit status in jeopardy, the letter
noted.
The new proposed bylaw amendment says,
A woman is defined as a biological female
at conception, having naturally occurring X
chromosomes, exclusive of Y chromosomes, and
certified as female or girl on the original birth
certificate. NSDAR and its chapters may not
discriminate against an eligible applicant.
On February 8, the DAR NBOM now must

Trumps Canada bluster reveals his grip on critical geography
In business, Donald Trump was a real estate
guy. In the presidency, he might be one, too. The
prospective foreign policy of his second term
has taken an unexpected turn, with his recent
talk of annexing Canada, buying Greenland and
taking back the Panama Canal. Rather than the
neo-isolationist that hes often accused of being,
Trump is talking like a neo-imperialist, at least
in our own hemisphere.
Even if President Trump does none of these
things — hes largely joking about the Great
White North — his musings are a reminder of the
crucial importance of geography and the control
of territory.
The first thing you need to do to understand
the world, and to a large extent the behavior of
nations, is to look at a map.
Geography is the most fundamental factor
in the foreign policy of states because it is the
most permanent, the 20th-century strategist
Nicholas Spykman observed. Ministers come
and go, even dictators die, but mountain ranges
stand unperturbed.
The world was never flat, in the formulation of New York Times columnist Thomas
Friedman that became the catchphrase of a
complacent globalism.
No, the world is full of mountains and steppes;
rivers and coastlines; temperate, tropical and
dry zones. Some nations, by virtue of their
location, are secure, others vulnerable; some
naturally rich, others resource-starved.
The first thing you need to know about
Britain, for instance, is that it is an island,
this precious stone set in the silver sea, as
Shakespeare had it. This basic, ineluctable fact
has crucially shaped Britains strategic orientation and national character. It is why it became
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
a naval power committed to global trade, and
why it considered far-flung places — courtesy of
the waves — relatively nearby.
The English Channel has been an indispensable buffer between it and continental Europe.
Theres a reason Nazi Germany invaded Poland,
France, the Soviet Union, Denmark, Norway,
Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Greece,
Yugoslavia and Italy — but not Britain.
As for Germany, Robert Kaplan writes in his
illuminating book The Revenge of Geography
that it faces both east and west with no mountain ranges to protect it, providing it with pathologies from militarism to nascent pacifism, so as
to cope with its dangerous location.
The United States is uniquely blessed by its
geography. It is of immeasurable importance
that we are both a continental and island nation,
combining the massive resources that come
with the former, with the protection from hostile European and Asian powers that comes with
the latter. We have abundant natural resources,
ample coastlines, a massive river system and a
disproportionate share of the worlds best soil,
among other advantages.
That we ended up stretching from sea to shining sea wasnt an accident. Our forefathers supported continental expansion as a matter of geopolitics, whether it was the Louisiana Purchase
or the Mexican-American War. They believed
that it would make us stronger and more secure,
and — although their methods werent always
admirable — they were correct.
Control of territory matters, sometimes even
relatively small pieces of territory. Consider
Hawaii. It is of enormous consequence that
the island archipelago sits in the middle of the
Pacific athwart key sea lanes. Other powers circled it in the 19th century, while the great naval
strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan urged us to
acquire it. We all know the role of Pearl Harbor
in World War II, and as the Crossroads of the
Pacific, Hawaii remains a major economic and
military asset.
As for Greenland, the idea of buying it from
Denmark is no more ridiculous than any other
land purchase weve ever made, including of the
U.S. Virgin Islands in 1917 … from Denmark.
Greenland has attracted the interest of
such estimable American statesmen as Harry
Truman and William Seward. Given its strategic location in the Arctic Circle and its wealth of
mineral deposits, its an alluring proposition.
Geography isnt everything, but often when
it comes to geopolitics, theres no substitute for
cold, hard real estate.

Has gold ever been found
in Kansas? Locally?
DIGGING UP THE PAST

Call (785) 504-4722 for
local archeology information.
Actually located west of
Garnett on west 4th Avenue.
This specimen was found while
digging a hand dug well near a
small stream.
The specimen was sent to
Denver, Colorado for essaying
and etc. This is a sad ending, as
the sample was never returned
or heard of again.

Indians and Artifacts of Anderson County
– Get your artifacts identified January
25th at the Historical Society Museum
Many individuals over
the years have collected
Indian artifacts in Anderson
County and they have been
plentiful. Knowing what you
have besides knowing it is an
arrowhead or possibly a knife
is probably the only thing we
know. These pieces picked
up were actually the tools the
Indians used for their livelihood. Many of them were made
of stone not found in Kansas,
but were obtained by trading
with other Indian tribes. Stone
tool makers were artisans
and could shape about anything from the flint found
in Anderson County and from
their trade materials. Besides
the arrowheads you will find
pottery shards with designs on
the sides created by wrapping
the piece with grass before firing the piece.
Artifacts found include
items found from Archaic
Times, 6000 B.C. to 1000 A.D.
to the time of the Woodland
Indians, 1000 A.D. to about
1700 A.D. Over 160 sites have
been identified by the Kansas
Historical Society where the
Indians worked and lived in
Anderson County. Most of
them were hunters/gathers
and they also farmed. They
raised the three sisters,
corn, beans, and pumpkins or
squash to supplement their
hunting and gathering.
These items can be found
along any creek in Anderson
County. Villages were located
along Pottawatomie Creek and
the evidence of these villages
are the evidence of camp fires
and the many artifacts found
in these locations. Not only the
actual arrowheads, but also
many, many flint chips where
they set making these items.
In 1837-1838 the United
States Government moved
the Potawatomi Indians from
their homelands in Plymouth,
Indiana. The Sugar Creek
Reservation spread from
Ottawa, in Franklin County, to
Iola, in Allen County and from
western Anderson County into
Linn County. They came in
the fall and a Catholic Mission
in western Linn County was
established to help them.
St. Philippine Duchesne, a
Catholic Nun from France,
worked at the mission helping
the Indians and saving many
lives during the first hard winter with little or no food and
shelters.
The Sac and Fox Indians
located in Southern Franklin
County in 1875 came into
Anderson County and many

GOLD! Has gold ever been
found in the state of Kansas?
Has it ever been found in
Anderson County? During my
research, here is what I discovered. It depends on what
you read and whom you believe
the geologists or Anderson
County resident eye witnesses. According to the records of
Kansas Geological Resources,
and I quote, Yes, there is gold
in Kansas, but there are or
never was any gold mines on
the Kansas plains.
On September 29, 1883 a
specimen of gold-bearing
quartz found by R. Buchanan
while quarrying on his farm
one mile west of Garnett was
passed around. This specimen
contained numerous particles
of the shining ore.
Passed thru the years,
here was the story. This farm
became the Jim Black farm.
lived along Thomas Creek
and Pottawatomie Creek in
Western Anderson County. In
the history books of the county it is noted they traded in
Central City and were also
along Cherry Creek where the
town of Cherry Mound was
located.
Mel Phillips who grew up in
Eastern Kansas and has family in Garnett will be at the
Anderson County Historical
Society Museum, January 25th
from 9 to 4 to identify artifacts
you may have collected in this
part of Eastern Kansas. We
are limiting it to 20 artifacts
per person and you will learn
something about your items
and their identification. We
are looking forward to seeing
many interesting collections.
The Anderson County
Museum also has a large collection of artifacts for anyone
interested in viewing them
and will be available for viewing on the 25th.

Richmond UWF presents nativity play BenThe
Kansas Property Place, LLC
Mary Hall, known especially for her artistic talent, resurrected a play she crafted in
2005 for its second presentation
at the 2024 Richmond United
Methodist Women in Faith
Christmas program.
Following the Christmas
story told in the Book of Luke,
Mary used scripture, some
additional story and the hymn
that goes with each part of the
story. Mary narrated the story
and various characters read
their parts. All were dressed
in period costumes; some from
RUMC and others were borrowed.
In 2005 Mary made a play
book for each person in the
presentation but she needed to
make some new ones for this
year. She began the presentation by reading the names of
nine women who were in the
first play but are now deceased,
saying this is given in their
memory. Pastor Lenise Eddings
offered prayers and guidance.
Thirty-two members and
guests from several churches
enjoyed lunch before the program which was chaired by
Marsha Chrisman and Nancy
Burroughs. The traditional
Love Gift received $264 from
those attending. It was given
to Central Heights Elementary
School for their project of helping families at Christmas-time.

After ordering our food we

have one mystery gift and one
hostess gift and do away with
the individual gifts at the end
of the meeting.
Rose Marie Miller guessed
the mystery gift, 2 bags of flavor tea, Sherry commented it
is really good because she sampled it before giving it up for the

Worship songs this week
were "Come As You Are,"
"Waymaker," "Our Father"
and "Come As You Are." The
Billings, Mike, Elka, Ursula,
Petra and Isla, led worship.
Ben Prasko was on keyboard.
Communion meditation was
given by Howard Reiter. It was
titled "A Legacy of Affliction,"
and was from Psalm 119:65-72.
Affliction teaches us to trust
God. When we survive the
tough times then we appreciate
the good times and the smallest
luxuries bring great contentment.
Pastor Chase Riebel took
the sermon from Ezekiel 2 and
3. God had shown Ezekiel a
vision so that Ezekiel could
glimpse God's unparalleled
glory. Ezekiel was called "son
of man" more than 90 times
in the book of Ezekiel. God
was reminding him that he is
human, weak and frail, and
completely dependent on God.
God caused Ezekiel to swallow
a scroll with a message regarding repentance so that Ezekiel
could deliver this message
to Israel. The words were as
sweet as honey in his mouth.

Lady Vikings go cold in loss
MOUND CITY – It just wasnt
their night on Tuesday,
January 14, as the Central
Heights Lady Vikings couldnt
get much to fall in a 30-12 defeat
on the road to the hands of
Jayhawk-Linn.
The first half was especially putrid offensively for the

lone point in the first quarter
and were held scoreless in the
second.
Fortunately for Central
Heights, Jayhawk-Linn wasnt
exactly lighting up the scoreboard either as they scored just
14 points in the first half.
The second half was a little
better on the offensive end as
the Vikings scored 6 points in
the third and 5 more in the
fourth but Jayhawk-Linn kept
their distance as they tallied 8
points in each quarter to hold
on for the comfortable victory.
Central Heights connected
on just 3 of 28 shots on the
night, good for just 11%.
Melaney Chrisjohn led the
way with 6 points, Addison
Ouellette added 5 points and
the only other scorer was Macy
Cubit with 1.
Cubit and Ouellette were
active all night defensively
