ISMET, Kansas As morning light
creeps across this pasture, Bryan
Garrison all but disappears into the
High Plains landscape.
Motionless and covered in
camo, he reclines on a cushion next
to a sagebrush.
With a shotgun in one hand and the remote to
an electronic calling device in the other, he plays
the role of DJ, spinning some of the coyote calling
worlds greatest hits from cottontail distress to
coyote yip duet.
I start most every set with a howl, Garrison said.
Im setting a scene.
This is the opening day of the Southwest Kansas
Coyote Calling Contest in Kismet. And Garrison, his son
and a friend are competing with other teams to see who
can call in and shoot the most coyotes from dawn till dusk.
Calling contests mark just the latest chapter in a centuries-long war between humans and coyotes as both species
expand their range across the continent.
The coyotes are winning.
State estimates show the number of coyotes in Kansas has nearly tripled since the 1980s. But just because there are more of them
around doesnt mean that outwitting this wily canine comes easily.
Garrisons heavy-duty coyote calling
boombox sings out from the valley where
he stashed it in a bush. Nearby, a motorized
decoy waves a piece of fur back and forth.
After about 15 minutes, Garrison spots a
flash of gray 40 yards ahead. He steadies his
12-gauge shotgun and fires twice. But the coyote is too quick. It disappears back into the
brush.
Its fun because its hard, Garrison said.
You dont turn on a call and every coyote in
the country come running to you.
Their intelligence, resilience and extraordinary adaptability equip coyotes to thrive
in the modern world, even as many other
American mammals have declined or disappeared since European settlement.
Cutting down forests to create farms gave
them more habitat. Exterminating wolves
removed their chief rival.
Now, they are the most abundant large
predator in the country.
So coyote callers figure that every animal
they shoot means one less potential threat
to livestock out on the range. Garrison, for

on Friday approved a new state
congressional district map that
would move Anderson County
out of the Second District and
move it along with Franklin
County into the 3rd Distirct
along with Miami, Johnson
and part of Wyandotte counties
The map splits Wyandotte
County along I-70, moving
the north half into the 2nd
District and moves Lawrence,
which was previously in the
2nd District, into the massive
western-focused 1st District.
The map, which now goes to
the Kansas House for debate
and then to Governor Laura
Kelly, must be set by the June
1, 2022, filing deadline for the
upcoming November mid-term
elections. The deadline for
state legislative districts to be

has been analyzed. Federal law
sets a target of some 711,000
people per congressional district, and that rule put the
old 3rd District that included
Wyandotte, Johnson and part
of Miami counties about 44,000
people over the limit.
Democrats have charged
the
Republican-controlled
Kansas Legislature drew the
congressional maps in order to
weaken Democrats in the 3rd
District, where Sharice Davids,
the only Democrat member of
the Kansas congressional delegation, is in her second term.
Republicans say the idea was
to keep Johnson County whole
and to group it with other counties in its immediate region
which are expected to grow in
population as Johnson County
itself grows.
The map is being vehemently protested in Wyandotte
County, where community
leaders say keeping the countys specific challenges make
it a political body with specific
and separate needs from other
districts.
Governor Kelly, a Democrat,
has not said whether she would
veto the map, but she recently
reiterated her belief in keeping
the KC metro area together.

the coyote season runs yearround with no limit. The state
also recently legalized hunting
coyotes after sundown with
night vision scopes, which
makes it easier to spot them
during their active nocturnal
hours.
Americans kill roughly a
500,000 coyotes each year. But
through it all, coyote populations just keep getting stronger.
People always talk about
how if theres a nuclear war
or whatever, theres going
to be cockroaches and rats
left. I always throw coyotes into that, Kansas State
University wildlife specialist
Drew Ricketts said. Theyve
survived as much persecution
as any animal on the face of the
earth, and theyve just expanded in the face of it.
Since the 1950s, coyotes
have stretched their territory
across North America by 40%,
making themselves at home
everywhere from the Alaskan
tundra to the Florida coast
to Americas largest urban
centers. In his book, Coyote
America, Dan Flores describes
them as a cosmopolitan species whose adaptability mirrors that of humans.
They have crossed rail lines
and bridges to make it to New
Yorks Central Park. In downtown Chicago, theyve learned
how to navigate crosswalk signals and cool off in a Quiznos
soda fridge. And because
theres no hunting in cities,
urban areas have become a
sort of refuge for coyotes.
Their flexible diet helps too.
Unlike other predators like
bobcats and cougars which
eat strictly meat coyotes will
dine on just about anything,
from deer, rodents and birds
to insects, trash and fruit.
Ricketts said they can be a real
pest on watermelon farms.
Most people think about
them as predators, but really
their diet breadth is about as
broad as a raccoons, Ricketts
said. They are very good at
taking advantage of just about
any resource that we make
available.
Humans have unknowingly
given coyotes a helping hand
in other ways, too.
Before Europeans settled in
America, wolves killed enough
coyotes to keep them in check,
creating a kind of canine predator equilibrium. But after centuries of government-encouraged extermination, wolves
have been nearly wiped out in
the lower 48 states. That paved
the way for coyotes to move up
the food chain.
Then theres the biological
phenomenon called compensatory reproduction. The year
after people kill a bunch of
coyotes in a given area, the
remaining coyotes litters will
double in size. And young
females will start breeding a
year earlier than they otherwise would.
Some studies have even
shown that indiscriminate
hunting and trapping could
disrupt coyotes social order
in a way that may increase the
chance of a livestock attack.
For example, the territory
near a herd might be dominated by resident coyotes who
have learned to hunt rodents
there instead of livestock. But
if those residents are killed,
other transient coyotes who
are more likely to eat calves
could take over that territory.
For every coyote thats
removed, Ricketts said,
theres another one waiting to
take its place.
Last critters on earth
On the final evening of
the calling contest in Kismet,
teams line up their coyote
carcasses by the dozen on the
grass behind city hall.
As coyote populations have
grown in recent years, hunting competitions like this one
have followed close behind.
Just 85 miles up the road in
Greensburg, the Pasture
Poodles calling contest brought
in 150 coyotes during the same
weekend as the one in Kismet.
The contests have become
more competitive, too.
To curb cheating, contestants need to follow a specific set of rules to get credit
for each kill: submit a timestamped photo of the coyote,
zip tie a wooden block marked
with the time of death between
its teeth.
At the final check-in, volunteers use a small arsenal of

example, said he regularly gets
calls from neighbors asking
him to come shoot unwelcome
coyotes on their land.
(Hunting contests help)
ranchers and farmers take
care of a serious problem, he
said. If somebody was breaking into your house and stealing your goods and messing
with your well-being, youd do
something about it.
While huntings power to
actually make a dent in the
greater coyote population is
questionable, this adaptable
animals improbable conquest
of America is hard to ignore.
American survivors
Once limited to high deserts and prairies in the middle
of the country, coyotes have
colonized nearly all of North
America over the past two centuries. Its a feat made even
more amazing by the fact that
people have been trying to
wipe them out just about that
whole time.
Organized coyote hunts
in Kansas go back more than
100 years, with communities
from Liberal to McPherson
to Topeka coming together
to round up and kill them.
Sometimes the townspeople
made a day of it and ate dinner
together after.
In the early 1900s, the state
of Montana purposefully
infected coyotes with mange
to see if the mite disease would
exterminate them. By the mid20th century, federal hunters
across the West were tossing
poison-laced baits from airplanes and snowmobiles.
The USDA shoots down
tens of thousands of coyotes
each year from helicopters
and kills thousands more with
spring-loaded cyanide traps
scented like meat.
Meanwhile, coyote hunting
and calling contests remain
legal in most states. In Kansas,
2×3
AD
kitchen thermometers to make
sure the bodies are still warm.
Then they check whether the
coyotes have the right amount
of rigor mortis based on the
way their jaws clench those
wooden blocks.
Most years, this is also when
a scientist draws the dead
coyotes blood to test for the
bubonic plague. Its a golden
opportunity to get a quick scan
of how rampant the disease is
among the local rodents these
coyotes have been eating.
Finally, theres the lie detector test.
Winning teams draw straws
to see which member has to
sit down with James Kelly, a
retired cop and the contests
last line of defense against
cheating.
He has strapped thousands
of coyote hunting contestants
to his polygraph machine over
the years. Hes seen teams try
to pass off coyotes they didnt
hunt themselves. Teams that
shot coyotes in nature preserves or with illegal guns or
out of moving vehicles.
Kelly said the key to uncovering a cheat is his special recipe of detailed questions that
approach the contest like a
criminal case and dont leave
contestants any wiggle room.
Were not doing polygraph
for the heck of it, he said.
Were doing it for a specific
goal to make sure that people
arent cheating.
On this night, the winners
pass the test. Altogether, the
teams bring in a total of 83
coyotes. And thats just a drop
in the bucket.
Kelly said hell run polygraphs at eight other contests
before the end of January.
These competitions draw
their share of controversy too.
A handful of states have
banned coyote contests. And
even where theyre legal, some
have chosen to shut down
amid pressure from conservation organizations and animal
rights groups that describe
them as inhumane and detrimental to the natural ecosystem.
But Ricketts, the K-State
wildlife specialist, said that,
while controlling coyote population numbers through hunt-
ing would be next to impossible, the coyotes incredible
resilience means that theyre
able to bounce back from calling contests, too.
The reasons that broadscale population control of coyotes doesnt work all that well,
he said, those are also the
reasons that make the calling
competitions and continued
intensive harvest of coyotes
sustainable.
Meanwhile, predators cause
roughly 5% of calf deaths
in Kansas, and coyotes are
blamed for nearly all of them.
For ranchers, it adds up.
Even though thats not a
huge percentage of calf losses, Ricketts said, thats still
about $4 million annually that
Kansas producers are losing.
Nationwide,
predators
accounted for more than 11%
of calf deaths in 2015 up from
3.5% in 1995.
Rancher Bob Davies can
hear them howling at night
around his pastures in the
Cimarron River valley near
Kismet. A few years back,
they dragged off several of his
calves around a watering hole.
It was really bad, Davies
said. Thats a big blow when
you wait nine months for a
baby, and the coyotes get your
baby.
The coyotes got so thick
that year, he ended up renaming that piece of land Coyote
Pasture. He hasnt had as
much coyote trouble this season, but hes learned to keep a
close eye on his calves.
And
ultimately,
hes
resigned to the fact that everyone who chooses to raise cattle
in coyote country has to learn
to live with these native predators.
Coyotes have called these
plains home for millennia, and
they dont plan on leaving any
time soon.
Theyre gonna survive no
matter what we do, he said.
Theyre gonna be one of the
last critters on earth.

MAY 30, 1961 – JANUARY 18, 2022
Pam Alexander, age 60, of
Oskaloosa, Iowa, formerly of
Garnett, Kansas, passed away
on Tuesday,
January 18,
2022, at Mercy
One Medical
Center,
in
Des Moines,
Iowa.
She was
born on May
31, 1961, in
Alexander
Garnett,
Kansas, the
daughter of Paul and Nadine
(McCain) Skillman. Pam was
a member of the Garnett High
School Class of 1979.
She married Karl Alexander
on October 27, 1979, in Garnett,
Kansas, this union was blessed
with three children.
Pam lived a full life. As a
child, she spent summer days
at the swimming pool, skating
on the weekends at the local
rink or fishing on the riverbank with her family. These
passions she shared with her
children when she became a
homemaker. She kept a welcoming home that was open
to anyone who wanted to be a
part of it. Sundays were special
to her, the family would open
their home to yard games, grilling and fun. Her philosophy
on life was simple; fill your
hand with a good drink, your
head with good music and your
heart with good people. Pam
also worked at Tradewinds
Bar and Grill to provide for
her family and to be part of
her community. She enjoyed
serving and socializing with
people. She was an avid Chiefs
fan, a love shared with Karl.
The two had the opportunity to
work on the road. Their adventures took them all over the
U.S. They continued to open
their home and hearts making
lifelong friends wherever they
resided. She would quickly
become a regular at the local
bowling alley or sign up for
a membership at the library.
She also enjoyed attending
concerts. A common place to
find her was her kitchen. She
always took the opportunity
to bake with her grandchildren. She knew exactly what
she wanted to prepare for any
social event. She made every
holiday memorable with food,
decorations, and many family traditions. Her cooking
brought comfort and love. She
was a sassy lady who never
minced words. She would tell
you exactly what she thought of
how she felt about something.
Many of these memories often
brought laughter and teasing
from her children. Her later
days were spent sitting around
the table reminiscing with
them while playing her favorite board games. Quieter days
were spent with Karl around
their firepit or bird feeders.
She also enjoyed reading and
completing crossword puzzles.
She left countless stories and
memories with those who had
the pleasure of knowing her.
She was preceded in death
by her parents, Paul and
Nadine Skillman; one brother,
Kenny Skillman; and her son,
Travis Alexander.

husband of 42 years, Karl
Alexander; two daughters,

FAYETTEVILLE
Jean
Marjorie Rodway Harper, 88,
passed peacefully from her
Fayetteville,
PA home to
her Heavenly
h o m e ,
Monday,
January 17,
2022.
Born
June 4, 1933 in
Cambridge,
MA, she was
Harper
a daughter
of the late
William Batchelder Stanley
Rodway and Mary Macaulay
Rodway. Raised in the center of Boston across from historic Trinity Church, she was
a member and Valedictorian
of the first class to graduate
in 1950 from Boston Christian
High School, now Lexington
Christian Academy.
Jean was working as a
Retrospective Rating Specialist,
for Liberty Mutual Insurance
Co, when on a February
1956 Sunday at First Baptist
Church, Boston she shared a
hymn book with Norman W
Harper, Ensign USN. This led
to a Patriots Day, April 19, 1957
engagement and a June 22, 1957
marriage following Normans
graduation from the US Naval
Submarine School in New
London, CT where they subsequently lived for nine years.
The last five were next to the
Coast Guard Academy. This
led to Cadets being in their
home every Saturday evening
for Bible Study and fellowship.
Their children, Scott Douglas,
Kari Kristine, and Keith
Ronald were born there. Jean
was active in the Submarine
Base Chapel as she was in all
the churches, they belonged to
wherever they lived.
Her spouse then was
assigned to the Ballistic Missile
Submarine USS Casimir
Pulaski, SSBN 633 home based
in Charleston, SC but operating out of Rota, Spain for three
months, 60 days of which were
submerged patrols at the height
of the Cold War. Jean, like
all submariners wives (particularly after the loss of the
Thresher and Scorpion submarines), were never sure if they
would return. In 1967 when her
spouse resigned from the Navy,
the family moved to Maryland
and lived in the Ashton and
Silver Spring area for 30 years.
While the children were in
high school Jeanie worked part
time from home as a Medical
Transcriber. She was also a
Head Start volunteer. When
they finished high school,
Jeanie resumed working full
time for an accounting firm
in Silver Spring. Then later
she joined Norman commuting to Crystal City, Virginia
where he worked for the
Navy Department as an engineer. There Jean worked as
an administrative assistant on
a US-Saudi Naval Project and
other programs gaining her
computer skills.
After Normans retirement in 1986 they established
their own company MTAP
(Maintenance
Through
Analysis and Planning) and
developed maintenance programs for Ski Areas lifts, snowmaking, and grooming equipment. To do this it was necessary to be at the ski areas, mostly in the winter. Some of the
areas were Snowshoe, WV; Mt
Shasta, CA; Whistler, BC; Lake
Louise, ALB; and others. Jean
was President of the company
with Norman the Engineer. The
company was retired in 1996. In
2000 Jeanie and Norm moved
to Fayetteville. They were
active in Central Presbyterian
Church, Chambersburg where
Jeans memorial service will
be held in the future. Her urn
will eventually reside in an
Arlington National Cemetery
Columbarium. Jeans sister
Lois Rodway predeceased her
13 August 1995. She is survived
by her spouse, children and
two grandchildren, Ross and
Jenna Lichtenberg.
In lieu of flowers, Jean
suggested donations may be
made to Crohns & Colitis
Foundation or Macular
Degeneration Assoc.
Arrangements are entrusted to the Thomas L. Geisel
Funeral Home & Cremation
Center, Chambersburg, PA.

There may be no way back!
I wrote the following quote
down but failed to record the
author. With that said the
statement is too accurate not to
share so I shall proceed. I (the
author) have a high regard for
the depravity of man. Without
contest, the supreme sinfulness
of sinners is the most disregarded reality the world over.
The fall of man is quite possibly the most forgotten, under
appreciated and misunderstood event in history. For this
reason many in our day preach
salvation but neglect sin; many
talk about Christ but fail to talk
about conviction; many offer
testimonies about renewal but
forget to mention repentance.
There is a lot to unwrap
here so I will begin by defining
depravity. Depravity is a state
of corruptness which means we
have suffered the loss of a former soundness or virtue. We
are not sinners because we sin;
we sin because we are sinners.
Since the fall human nature
has been corrupt. We are born
with a sin nature. Our acts of
sin flow out of this corrupted
nature. Think about it this
way. If you have children did
you have to teach them how
to misbehave? No you didnt,
nor did I. Misbehaving came
quite naturally. At the fall
Adam and Eve traded virtue
for corruption. The bad thing
about this is we as a society
have embraced corruption.
Through all sorts of media we
have become convinced that
we should just move forward
with the rest of the world even
if we are going the wrong way
on an interstate highway. We
over spend, over indulge, over
react, you name it and we prac-
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
tice it. I was amazed to find out
that Americans spend 30 billion dollars annually on bank
overdraft charges. Why cant
we get things straightened out?
In my opinion we like our state
of corruption. It fits well and
we manage to hold some virtue
as well. The problem with this
is that every material thing is
subject to decay or loss.
Jesus addressed this issue in
Matthew 6:19-21; when he says,
Do not lay up for yourselves
treasures on earth, where moth
and rust destroy and where
thieves break in and steal, but
lay up for yourselves treasures
in heaven, where neither moth
or rust destroys and where
thieves do not break in and
steal. For where your treasure is there your heart will be
also. Proverbs 14:12 is perfectly clear on this state of mind we
maintain when the writer says,
There is a way that seems
right to a man but its end is the
way to death. Dont stay on
this path just because it seems
right or because that is what
everyone else is doing. If you
stay there to long there may be
no way back.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 25, 2022
OPINION
Kansas: Use surplus tax money
to pay off state road bonds
From the dark days of a decade ago, when the
bottom had fallen out of the Kansas economy,
the governor had just slashed taxes and the
state was perennially broke, to the salad days
of Covid recovery: now Kansas is sittin on a big
ol pile of cash.
Just wait until the fightin breaks out.
The state ended last year with a $2 billion
surplus and already this year projects to collect
$1.3 billion more than expected from state taxes
alone, 17 percent over projections.
And that kind of money will bring out all
the forces of spending. They will have plans to
spend every last dollar. Every cent.
By the time the current legislative session
is over, we predict, it will look like a flock of
buzzards moved in and picked the carcass of
that cash over clean. Not a spec will be left, not
if the spenders
get their way.
And nothing
attracts
the
spenders like
the sound of
cash rolling in.
M a n y
years, the session is all about
how to dole out
the meager few
dollars left after
the state pays
for schools and
welfare. Even
state colleges
have trouble
cadging a dime here and there.
And this is windfall cash, money no one
expected the state to have. Its like winning the
lottery or inheriting a fortune, almost too good
to be true.
But dont worry. The gang in Topeka has
handled things like this before. They know how
to spend money. If we dont watch it, the whole
pile will be gone by the end of the year.
The governor, her likely Republican opponent and legislative leaders have been falling
all over each other declaring that the states
sales tax on groceries must go. Thats a noble
idea, but its the wrong kind of spending for a
windfall.
Why? Eliminating the grocery tax will cost
something like $450 million a year, pretty much
forever.
Why not spend
this money in
ways that will
help the state
when a downturn comes
GUEST COMMENTARY
STEVE HAYNES, Haynes Publishing Co.
And while the surplus is likely a one-shot deal
it could disappear overnight if the economy
goes south again tax cuts are forever. When
surpluses turn to revenue deficits again, as they
surely will, how will the state pay its bills?
Its just a lot easier to spend cash than it is to
plan a budget that will survive the next downturn.
Not that eliminating the tax on groceries
isnt a good idea. Weve already seen that everyone agrees on that. But as Sam Brownback
learned, the reverse of the seemingly endless
prosperity we see today might be only a few
months away.
So be careful.
Why not spend this money in ways that will
help the state when a downturn comes: pay off
debt, strengthen the structure, fix up buildings
and roads with one-shot projects that can be cut
back next year or the year after?
When times were tough, the state got by on
borrowing money with road bonds, then diverting it to maintain operations. Now we should
pay off some of those bonds so we wont have
to pay them later. Build roads and fix buildings
with surplus cash and federal dollars.
If we look around, we could find more ways
to invest this money in the states future. If we
give in to spending it on new programs, therell
be no way to sustain them come the next recession.
Thats probably way too sensible, but why
not be sensible? You dont see a pile of cash like
this every day, after all.

I have heard many people talk about what a
nuisance stray cats are when they get in your
trash can. Well, if you were a stray cat and you
were hungry or dog or opposum or something,
wouldnt you get in to trash cans to get something to eat? Wouldnt you be trying to find
some place to live? I guess people just dont
understand cats or whatever the case may be.
Id like to know when the City of Garnett
started picking up trash in the country. I just
seen a city trash truck about two miles out on
Fourth Street picking up trash for people that
live out in the country. I thought it was a city
trash route. So my city taxes are paying to pick
up the countys trash? Id like to know whats
going on?

The Fleetwoods meet Biden as Mr. Blue
Boomers may remember a song by the
Fleetwoods called Mr. Blue. It hit number
one in 1959. If they do a remake, President
Biden should demand royalties because he is
that guy: the blue man without the group. The
blue state commander. And if hes not feeling
blue himself, he should be. Because nothing is
going right for Mr. Blue.
Lets start with the dog he brought to the
White House. Almost immediately, the pooch
started biting Secret Service agents. An eviction notice went out, and Major was deported
to Delaware.
Simultaneously, Joe Biden decided not to
enforce immigration law at the border so
millions of people are illegally crossing, most
untested for Covid. How is this a good thing
for the country, Mr. Blue? No answer has been
forthcoming.
In conjunction with the open border came
presidential attacks on the oil and gas industry in the name of climate change. Twelve
months later, inflation has climbed 10 percent
because energy prices surged. Mr. Blue said
last week he is making progress solving the
problem? But how?
No one knows.
Then came the cut and run from
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
BILL OREILLY, Guest Commentary
Afghanistan. Then another Covid surge. Then
a proposed new election law that discouraged
IDs for voters. But why? We did get an answer
to that question. IDs are racist.
Oh.
Then Mr. Blue went down in flames on the
two trillion dollar Build Back Better deal.
No one could quite figure out where all the tax
money would actually go. Joe didnt know just
as he doesnt know how to contain Omicron.
He again says hes making progress. Maybe
inflation will catch Omicron.
I could go on singing the blues and directing the notes towards Mr. Blue who is still
waiting for Kamala Harris report on the root
causes of border jumping. Maybe I can help
here.
Mr. President and Ms. Vice President: the
root cause of illegal border crossings is that
the USA is a better country than Honduras.
You can fill in the names of other countries
around the world to strengthen the point.
So lets wrap this up with a new poll that
may make Joe Biden even bluer. A Quinnipiac
survey says just a third of the country believes
he is doing a good job as president. The rumor
is many of the 33 percent are from Honduras.
As President Blue begins his second year
in office the outlook for his presidency is
dubious, to be kind. In about ten months a red
wave may obliterate the blue power structure
in place now. Those midterms are coming up
fast and color me skeptical about Joe Bidens
future.
Next November it might very well be black
and blue for the big guy.

New Virginia governor Younkin right on masks
Glenn Youngkin promised to be on the side
of parents as Virginia governor, and on his
first day in office, he delivered.
The Republican issued an executive order
allowing parents to decide whether their kids
will wear masks in school, and met an instant
wall of resistance from Democratic-controlled
counties and criticism from the White House
press secretary Jen Psaki. A Washington Post
headline said that Youngkin is terrifying
people.
The flak notwithstanding, his order is a
sign of a growing backlash against COVID-19
restrictions that will likely only gain force as
the pandemic drags on and former articles of
faith, including on masking, get called into
increasing doubt.
Youngkin has ventured into a legally murky
area. Critics believe he doesnt have the authority to issue his order because Virginia passed
a statue in early 2021 that says schools should
to the maximum extent practicable adhere
to CDC-blessed strategies for controlling
spread. The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention is still recommending masks. The
statue is vague, though, and doesnt mention
masks. Youngkins predecessor, Democrat
Ralph Northam, felt compelled to issue an
executive order specifically mandating them
in K-12 schools.
Theres also the question of whether decisions on masking and other mitigation measures are best left to school districts. Here, it is
worth noting that Youngkins order is different
from that of his fellow Republican governors in
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
Texas and Florida, who prohibited school districts from adopting mask mandates. Instead,
Youngkin is establishing a carveout for parents from mandates, should they choose to take
advantage of it.
All that said, it is clearly time for mask
mandates to end. The conventional wisdom on
masks has gone from dont wear them they
are useless at the beginning of the pandemic,
to you are a terrible person if you dont wear
them for about a year and a half, to now,
cloth masks dont really protect anyone.
Despite Jen Psaki saying that Arlington
County, which is vowing to defy Youngkin, is
standing up for kids and their safety, the case
for masking kids in schools is weak or nonexistent.
We are an outlier on this question. The CDC
recommends masking all kids age 2 and older,
whereas other health authorities are considerably more nuanced.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention
and Control doesnt recommend masking for
schoolchildren younger than age 12, noting
— correctly — that they may have a lower tolerance to wearing masks for extended periods of
time, and may fail to wear them properly. In
areas with community spread, it recommends
masks for students in secondary schools,
although it stipulates that they should be
seen as a complimentary measure, rather than
a standalone measure to prevent transmission
within schools.
The World Health Organization makes distinctions based on age. It says that kids age
5 and younger shouldnt be required to wear
masks based on the overall interest of the
child and the capacity to appropriately use a
mask with minimal assistance. It is open to
the masking of 6- to 11-year-olds, so long as a
wide variety of conditions are met. And it says
that kids age 12 and over should mask like
adults.
Many European countries have avoided
sweeping American-style mask mandates on
school kids, and for good reason. A large-scale
CDC study found no benefits from the masking
of kids. Many students wear cloth masks that
dont provide much protection (even if worn
and maintained properly) and no sane person
should want to subject a child to an N95 all day
long.
Parents in Virginia who believe that maskSEE RECORDS ON PAGE 1B
free N95 mask for everyone, as if people would
wear masks in the first place. And suddently,
Covid will be a distant memory just in time for
the mid-term elections.
I wonder why the tourism committee would
go against the Growing Garnett group to take
advertising money out of their funding that the
people in the group wanted to spend on local
advertising, which I guess means the local
newspaper? Why would the tourism committee
try to convince the city council to only approve
the Growing Garnett funding if none of it was
spent with the local newspaper? Maybe it was
because the president of the tourism committee
is the person whose picture has been in the
paper charged with meth charges. Sounds like
someones mad at the newspaper for doing their
job. Is this what we expect from our public officials? Thank you.

Governor Kelly deploys Kansas National
Guard to assist with COVID-19 response
TOPEKA Governor Laura
Kelly announced additional
efforts the State is taking to
combat COVID-19. Governor
Kelly deployed 80 nonmedical
Soldiers and Airmen from the
Kansas National Guard to support the Kansas Department
of Health and Environments
(KDHE) testing sites across the
state and assist with the shipment and delivery of personal
protective equipment (PPE).
Additionally,
Governor
Kelly engaged the Federal
Emergency
Management
Agency (FEMA), the U.S.
Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA), and the Veterans
Health Administration (VHA)
to provide limited acute care
and Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
beds for temporary medical
treatment of non-eligible VA
individuals to help reduce the
strain on Kansas hospitals.
We are at an inflection point
with the Omicron variant, and
the strain on our hospitals is
taking a toll on our health care
workers and patients all while
the virus continues to spread
rapidly through our communities, Governor Laura Kelly
said. The majority of hospital patients are unvaccinated.
Please do your part by getting
vaccinated and boosted today.
Military medical professionals in the Kansas Guard,
already filling positions at medical facilities in their communities, will stay in their respective communities. The nonmedical Soldiers and Airmen
will be on federal orders for
31 days to assist the additional
efforts.
The
Veterans
Health
Administration facilities are
limited and available based on
bed availability at time of need
and on a case-by-case basis
until February 17, 2022.

President Barack Obama
visited Osawatomie to channel
a 100-year-old speech by Teddy
Roosevelt given at Oz in 1910
that set the stage for Roosevelts
Progressive agenda to counter
the evils of early 20th century
capitalism, the same foe some
Democrats say is the bane of
American life today. Roosevelt
gave his New Nationalism
speech in Osawatomie during
1910 at the behest of organizers who wanted a big draw for
the two-day dedication ceremonies for John Brown Memorial
Park. But the speech became
a mantra for the Progressive
movement and the platform for
Roosevelts third-party run for a
third term as president.

Lady Bulldogs finish second in tournament
YATES CENTER – The
Anderson County Lady
Bulldogs lost the championship game of the Yates
Center Invitational to an
undefeated St. Paul team
to finish in second place.
Opening night was
a victim of COVID as
the Crest Lancers were
forced to withdraw from
the opening round games
due to not having school
on Monday and Tuesday
because of the virus.
Due to the inability to
play, Anderson County
advanced to the winners
bracket by default.
In their second round
game on Thursday night,
AC won a tight battle
against Humboldt 42-34.
The game was even closer
than the final score would
indicate.
Humboldt clinged to an
early 9-8 lead after the first
quarter. It would be the
Bulldogs that would pull
even in the second quarter and knot the game at

18 heading into intermission.
The two teams would
battle back and forth in
the third quarter, the Lady
Bulldogs held a slim 13-11
advantage to head into the
fourth quarter leading by
two points.
The defense would step
up over the final 8 minutes, limiting Humboldt to
just 5 points as Anderson
County scored 11 to close
out the win and send
themselves into the championship match on Friday.
The Lady Bulldogs actually frustrated Humboldt
all night defensively as
they connected on just 5 of
47 shots (10.7%)
for the game.
Humboldt
would stay in
the game only
because of their
work from the
free throw line
as they hit on 23
of 33 (70%) in the
game.

singer, songwriter, and
storyteller
Daryl Mosley
on Saturday,
February
5 at 7:00pm
at
Garnett
First United
Methodist
Mosley
Church,
Second and
Oak Streets, Garnett, KS.
From countless appearances on The Grand Ole Opry
to classic shows at the famous
Bluebird Cafe to a touring
schedule of over 150 concerts
per year, singer/songwriter
Daryl Mosley has been sharing his songs and his stories
with America for over 30 years.
Daryl has written three Song of
the Year award winners, six of
his songs have made it to number one, and he has twice been
named Songwriter of the Year!
His songs have been recorded
by dozens of artists ranging
from bluegrass legend Bobby
Osborne to country star Lynn
Anderson to Southern Gospel's
The Booth Brothers, and have
been featured on television
shows ranging from American
Idol to The View. One of his
best-known songs, (Ask the
Blind Man) He Saw It All, was
named one of the top Southern
Gospel songs of all time!
Gospel music legend Bill
Gaither calls Daryl a poet-and
we don't have many poets left!
Daryl says he just writes and
sings songs about real life and
real people; songs about faith
and home and community are
the foundation of his music
because those are the things
that are most precious to him.
He says, I love songs about
how it used to be, or could
be still, or might have been.
Daryl is also a gifted storyteller, and he shares entertaining
tales of the inspiration behind
his songs, his years at the
Grand Ole Opry, and his faith.
The concert is free to the
public but a love offering will
be taken. For additional information, contact Patty Lindley
at 502 262-0428.
Conversely, Anderson
County only scored 3
points from the line in 11
attempts.
Kylie Disbrow paced
AC with 12 points, 11
rebounds and 6 blocks.
Caitlyn Foltz was the
only other player in double figures with 10 points
and added 6 rebounds.
Brooklyn
Kurtz
chipped in with 9 points, 5
rebounds and 4 assists.
In the championship
match, it was a defensive
battle but the outside
shooting of St. Paul
did enough to pull out a
44-30 win to remain undefeated at 11-0.
Both squads shot under
30% on the evening. AC
shot just 28%, while limiting St. Paul to 25%. The
key differences were St.
Paul knocked down three
more three-pointers and
outgained the Bulldogs by
9 at the free throw line as
well.
The pressure defense
of St. Paul hounded the
Bulldogs throughout, forcing 26 turnovers.
Disbrow was the only
player in double figures
with 17 points in addition
to her 14 rebounds and 6
blocks.

Old is new again: Your online raffle
In the old days, if you held a
store raffle you put a box on a
table with some slips of paper
and a pen or two. But theres
this new thing nowadays called
The Internet (Im still not
sure its ever going to really
take off) and the whole idea of
a store raffle has changed.
In those old days, your raffle
probably depended upon store
traffic if store traffic was
slow, you probably didnt get
much response to your raffle.
Maybe you ran the promotion
for a month or more to garner
more entries. And you may not
even have used the raffle to
pick up vital entrant info for
your customer list, like phone
numbers, addresses or email
addresses.
Enter the digital age, and
you can do the whole kit &
caboodle online through your
social media or internet advertising efforts.
Services like Rafflecopter
offer the whole setup in minutes for relatively low cost and
sometimes even free (though
most free models are pretty
limited in what they will do for
you and the amount of data you
can collect).
The great advantage to these

HOW TO SELL STUFF
Dane Hicks
Review Publisher
All you do is:
1) decide on a prize you can
debate on the type of prize, but
it needs to be a good one if you
want to generate buzz for it. If
youre a restaurant, consider
a free meal a week for a year;
a sporting goods store a free
pair of choice athletic shoes.
Remember, no one will go out
of their way to register for a
drawing for a hat with your
logo on it. To get mileage out of
your drawing, you have to offer
something worthwhile.
2) Program the software service. Theyre all pretty easy
and self-explanatory. After you
answer some questions about
the specifis of your raffle, they
output a chunk of code or a
widget you then copy and
paste to your website, Facebook
or other social media page.
3) Run the drawing for at
least 30 days longer if what
youre offering is really good.
4) The reason you run the
promo for an extended period is that you want enough
time for some viral influence
to attach itself to your promo-

tion. Ideally you want your
Facebook followers to Share
the post containing the link
so always remember to ask
folks to share it to help you
spread the word. Some will
especially established customers who are enamored with
you and your level of service
and will want to lend you a
hand.
The software yields sign-up
info to turn into a mailing list,
etc., for further promotion the
system harvests all the data for
you. Check the details of the
software you opt for in the end
so you know up front what you
get. Regardless, an online raffle
is a new twist on an old gimmick that can build customer
relationships and help you sell
stuff!

K-State, KDA team up to ALLEN…
offer guidance to safely
identify morel mushrooms
FROM PAGE 1
MANHATTAN, Kan. K-State
Research and Extension, in
partnership with the Kansas
Department of Agriculture,
is offering online classes on
March 16 and 17 to help people
earn the necessary approval to
sell wild morel mushrooms.
The class will be offered
online through zoom from
noon to 1 p.m. on March 16,
and 6-7 p.m. on March 17.
As their name suggests, wild
morel mushrooms grow in the
wild, but can be hard to find.
For that reason, they are highly favored among chefs and
mushroom enthusiasts. False
morels include a number of
species that look similar but
are actually poisonous.
The classes are intended to
help ensure that wild harvested mushrooms sold as morels
in the state of Kansas are safe
to consume. Current regulations under KDAs food safety
and lodging program require
that mushrooms picked in the
wild for sale must be individually inspected for safety by an
approved mushroom identifier.
Upon completing the class
— which includes passing an
online exam — participants
will be recognized as approved
morel identifiers in Kansas to
meet this regulation.
Registration for the classes is now open and costs $5.
Participants will receive the
zoom link for the training after
registering.
For questions or to register,
call the Reno County Extension
Office, at 620-662-2371 or
send email to Pam Paulsen,
ppaulsen@ksu.edu, or Londa
Nwadike, lnwadike@ksu.edu.
SCAM…
FROM PAGE 1
And they dont stop there. In
recent years another popular
scam is a call that says your
child or grandchild is in jail
and urges the person to send
money by gift card or western
union.
Do not trust the number the
person gives you to call, find
out the jail he or she is in, look
up the number for that jail, call
the jail and ask them if that
person is there or, just call the
family member and see if they
answer their phone and what
they are doing, Valentine sad.
He said another big scam
that people fall for is a supposed
call from the Sheriff, Attorney
General, Texas Rangers, FBI,
KBI or other Law Enforcement
agency is on their way to arrest
you, or they tell you your car
or your DNA has been found at
a scene but if you send money
now will call them off.
Folks that does not happen, Valentine said We are
not going to call you and tell
you to send us money so we
will not arrest you. If we are
looking to arrest you that is
what we will do and we will
not call you and tell you we are
coming.
Valentine urged local residents who think theyve been
targeted by a scam to contact
the sheriffs office at (785) 4485678.
spelling bee
the current $250,000, which was
posted following the hearing.
Though Rieg reported that
she had prepared bond documentation and sent it to the
defense team of Vanessa M.
Riebli and Thomas J. Bath
Jr., Leawood, her filed motion
of Dec. 10 requested a hearing–conducted last week–to
clarify bond conditions.
Rieg first broached the item
of Allen's prohibition of alcohol and drug use. She reported that Allen had been tested
twice monthly–six times in
total–with random urinalyses
(UAs) having negative results.
Arguing the randomness of
those tests that occurred only
when Allen would meet with
Trinette Dimmett, Linn County
Court Services officer, Rieg
said alcohol detection "dissipates quickly" and recommended adding a SCRAM alcohol
monitoring bracelet.
Riebl objected, saying Allen,
who appeared at her office for
the hearing, had "no evidence
of alcohol use." She said the
device, which monitors continuously by using perspiration
content, would add a $93 cost
weekly.
Asked Harth, "Why are random UAs difficult? They really
should be random and aren't
right now." In her final ruling, she wants the UAs to be
random and told Allen "not to
assume all will happen during
daytime hours."
The hearing then turned to
defining Allen's house arrest.
Citing "a privilege to be on
house arrest rather than incarcerated," Rieg said she understood that the defense would be
asking for Allen to be able "to
work anywhere on that acreage, which is not really house
arrest." and that Allen would
be able to drive a tractor to
move hay bales, for instance.
She said Johnson had been
"clear on no driving."
Rieg said she also had heard
that the bonding agent was
allowing Allen to gather mail
and drive a lawnmower.
Asserting that the request
"does not increase [Allen's]
flight risk," Riebli said the
bonding agent can "put up a
geo-fence that, if breached, she
would know in seven seconds."
Under oath, Paula Crowell,
Ottawa bail bond agent, reported no issues of Allen compliance since the Nov. 12 bond
posting. Referring to Riebli,
Crowell said a geo-monitoring
system would use Google Maps.
Crowell said she had
researched the 160 acres in
question at the Franklin
County appraiser's office and
reported the plot "as a square
lot, very easy" to monitor.
When questioned by Rieg
about the intent of "house
arrest," Crowell knows some
clients whose outer parameters
are the Kansas borders.
To Rieg, Crowell said, "I
have no reason not to support
this. He monitors through
(bond-mandated geographical
positioning system) GPS and
checks in weekly by phone."
Crowell also refuted what Rieg
had "heard" by saying Allen
was currently not allowed to
get mail nor drive a mower.
In her ruling, Harth reaffirmed "(Allen) not driving
so much as a lawnmower.
Driving is intimately connected to a safety issue tied to this
case."
Crowell said that Allen is
essentially confined now via
GPS monitor to a 15-foot square
"around the house" in order to
avoid outer walls and windows
that might indicate a parameter breach. The bond condition
had allowed Allen to leave the
house only for appointments
related to attorneys, court, or
medical, stipulations that now
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 25, 2022
will apply for the entire 160acre perimeter.
Rieg, though, said the state
of Kansas would be opposed to
any bond modification.
"We're here on an intentional murder case," she contended.
"He is a safety risk. The victim
is a family member."
Allen's mother, Charlotte
L. Querry Grimes, Garnett,
died in a vehicular accident
more than 13 months ago in the
vicinity of 17500 Keitel Road
southeast of Parker, an act
allegedly intentionally committed by Allen.
Following Harth's ruling,
Rieg said the state is ready to
set an evidentiary preliminary
hearing, and Riebli estimated
its potential duration to be a
day-and-a-half.
Harth said she was currently unable to set a date "because
I've got to coordinate the courtroom." The judge said any such
hearing would not occur prior
to March at the earliest.
During last week's proceedings, the court also endorsed
the addition of family members Kerry Akes and Lavonne
Franks to an approved driving
list that also includes Tabitha
Stephens.

Department said the Kansas
Department of Health and
Environment has adopted the
CDC Quarantine and Isolation
guidance for the general public
which allows people with a confirmed or probable COVID-19
infection to isolate at home for
the first 5 days of their infectious period and allows them
to return to work and other
settings for the next 5 days
as long as they are wearing a
well-fitting mask indoors and
outdoors when around others.
Before leaving home isolation, people should be fever
free for 24 hours without the
use of fever-reducing medication and other symptoms
should be improving. If people
with a confirmed or probable
COVID-19 infection cannot
wear a mask when around others, they should follow these
isolation criteria:
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 25, 2022
CLASSIFIEDS/
PUBLIC NOTICE
Isolate at home for a minimum of 10 days from the onset
of symptoms (day of symptom
onset is Day 0). Asymptomatic
people should isolate at home
for 10 days from the date their
positive sample was taken (day
of sample was taken is Day 0).
On day 11, they may discontinue isolation IF they have
been fever free for 24 hours
without the use of fever reducing medication AND there has
been a significant improvement in symptoms
IF they continue to have
a fever or other symptoms,
they should continue isolating
at home for 14 days. People
with COVID-19 who are severely ill and require care in the
Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or
who are severely immunocompromised (i.e. currently receiving chemotherapy or are on
immune system suppressing
medications) may be infectious
longer and can be released
from isolation using these criteria:
20 days from onset of
symptoms OR 24 hours after
fever is gone without the use
of fever reducing medication
AND there has been significant
improvement in symptoms
WHICHEVER IS LONGER.
If you have questions, contact your local county health
department, or KDHE at 877427-7317. This guidance additionally allows susceptible
close contacts who have been
exposed to COVID-19 disease
to stay home in quarantine for
the first 5 days of their incubation period after their last
exposure and allows them to
return to work and other settings for the last 5 days of their
incubation period as long as
they are asymptomatic and

both indoors and outdoors
when around others.
If a person cannot wear a
well-fitting mask covering
both their nose and mouth
when around others, they
should quarantine for 10 days
and follow these quarantine
criteria: 10 Day Quarantine
(Asymptomatic individuals
no testing)
After exposure, monitor
yourself for symptoms daily
or participate in Public Health
monitoring for 10 full days.
If you have no symptoms
during the 10 days, you can
be released from the quarantine without a test on Day 11.
KDHE recommends all exposed
people should self-monitor for
fourteen (14) days from exposure and contact healthcare
provider if symptoms develop. Disease can still develop
through day 14.

Two tire troubles to avoid this winter
WICHITA, Kan. Jan. 21, 2022
With the majority of winter
still ahead, and an increasing
number of calls coming in,
AAA Kansas is urging motorists to pay attention to the two
tire issues most likely to result
in the need for emergency
roadside service.
In just the first few weeks
of the year we have seen tire-related calls that amount to more
than 20% of the total volume for
all of last winter and we still
have almost two months to go,
says Jon Burgett, AAA Kansas
Emergency Roadside Service
supervisor in the Wichita area.
Drivers must make sure their
tires are properly inflated and
that they have sufficient tread
to grip wet or snow-covered
roads.
At this time, AAA is seeing tire-related call volume in
Kansas exceeding what it was
pre-pandemic. From Jan. 1-18,
2022, AAA roadside assistance
calls for tire problems are up
nearly 23% when compared
to the same period in 2019, so
drivers are encouraged to pay
attention to their tires or pay
a price.
Neglecting basic vehicle
maintenance, such as rotating
tires, has been far too common throughout the pandemic, resulting in more wear and
tear and additional expense,
says AAA Kansas Burgett.
Routines may have changed,
but routine car care is still critical.
Tires that have not been
properly inflated to adjust for
colder temperatures are more
likely to result in a flat or blowout and tires with a worn tread
are more likely to result in a
crash. The good news, though,
is that both of these tire troubles are easy to resolve.
Check Tire Pressure
Keeping your vehicles tires
properly inflated to the automakers recommended pressures is a critical element of
tire maintenance. Tires that
contain the specified amount
of air pressure last longer and
contribute to vehicle safety.
Check tire inflation pressure on all four tires and the
spare.
As the average temperature
drops, so will tire pressures
typically by one PSI for every
10 degrees Fahrenheit.
The proper tire pressure
levels can be found in the owners manual or on a sticker typ-

ically located on the drivers
side door jamb (Do not use the
pressure molded into the tire
sidewall).
Check Tire Tread
Adequate tread depth is
necessary for a tire to maintain
traction on slippery roads. You
can measure tread depth with
an inexpensive gauge available
at any auto parts store or you
can use the traditional quarter
test demonstrated in the photo.
Insert a quarter into a
tread groove with the top of
Washington's head facing
down. If the top of his head
is not visible, your tires are
fine for continued use. If
you can see above the top of
Washington's head, it is time
to start shopping for new tires.
Take multiple measurements
across the tread to help ensure
accurate results.
Winter storms, bad weather and sloppy road conditions
are a factor in nearly half a
million crashes and more than
2,000 road deaths every winter,
according to research by the
AAA Foundation for Traffic
Safety.
Previous AAA research
indicates that driving on
worn tires at highway speeds
increase stopping distance by
a staggering 43% compared to
new tires, putting drivers, and
their passengers, at increased
risk.
AAA urges drivers to check
5×12 Baumans
tread depth, replace tires proactively, and increase following distances significantly
when roadways are wet or
snow-covered.
Tire and vehicle maintenance
Regular and ongoing maintenance is important to keep
vehicles running their best and
to avoid the need for emergency roadside service. Whether it
is to replace or repair a tire or
other auto repair needs, having
a trusted service provider provides peace-of-mind. Find your
nearest AAA Approved Auto
Repair location here.

Sage Partida knocks down a shot to put her team up 19-4 in the
final minutes of their game on Saturday at Ottawa Middle School.
Sage plays on one of the 5th and 6th grade teams as part of the
Garnett Recreation Program.
Senior Center pitch results
Ten hardy souls braved the
extremely cold evening to play
13-point pitch.
Don Smith won the most
games with five and Karen
Register won the least. Jackie

Would love to have more

I have been terrified of dentists my entire life. After years of not
going to a dentist, I had no choice so I gave Doc Hale a chance.
Told him what a chicken I am. I have never been happier with the
care I have received, simply cant believe it. He has helped me with
more than teeth. He helped me with my fear. I admit I never EVER
dreamed I would write a review (especially positive) for dental anything. But Mr. Hale, Thank you. 5 stars cause the scale doesnt go to 6!

Wolken Tire was purchased by
Jack & Patty Rundle in August of 1994.

Jack passed away in 2019, but his legacy of
business and community service remains a
hallmark of Wolken Tire.
Most all of 2015 we dedicated to the renovation of the outside and inside of
our building at 601 S. Oak. Our showroom no longer looks like A Dusty Ol Tire Shop.
We have exposed the beautiful rock, the maple flooring from upstairs now covers
one wall, there are new windows, etc. Youll enjoy your visit.
In 2018 we built a building which added the addition of 2 more bays. We also
purchased another lift to be able to perform oil changes on a more timely basis.
We perform Oil Changes, Brake Jobs,
Front End Alignments, Tire Sales & Repairs.
We also have a Service Truck for Farm Repairs.
