Local and area firemen fight the January 16
blaze at the Henderson residence at the corner
of Third and Elm in Garnett. The 113 year-old
home was a total loss in the fire.
Burning history
Homeowners escaped
injury, but community lost

BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Losing ones home to fire
is terrifying, even when everyone is
lucky enough to escape without serious injury. In the case of the fire that
destroyed the home of Dr. David and
Edna Henderson recently at the corner of 3rd and Elm Streets in Garnett,
fire took not only the current familys
home and belongings but also another major piece of history left by one
of Garnetts early captains of local
industry.
The Henderson home was built by
J.Q. McAfee, a local businessman and
industrialist whose name is all but
forgotten in Garnett save the countys historical society, but whose initiative and entrepreneurialism set
Garnett on an economic course in
the early part of the 20th century
and fostered its heyday of population and community growth. From

and development of the 3-story 4th
Avenue Hotel at the northeast corner
of 4th and Oak streets in the lot now
occupied by Harris Park. The structure, one of just three 3-story buildings in Garnetts downtown, cost a
whopping $12,000.
McAfee was also integral in the
development of natural gas in the
area, assisting a driller in 1904 in
finding local farmers to lease ground
for prospective wells. That work
and the celebrated success of piping gas to downtown precipitated
the January 15th, 1905, massive gas
explosion that destroyed three buildings in the northwest block of 4th
Avenue and Oak Street and killed two
people. Undeterred, McAfee added
a new addition to Garnett Church
Furnishings in 1907 and also developed an ice plant in the city in 1910
that produced 10 tons of ice per day.

BY ZANE IRWIN
KANSAS NEWS SERVICE
DESOTO One of the largest economic development projects in
Kansas history will start churning
out lithium-ion batteries as soon
as March, Panasonic announced
earlier this month.
Executives from the Japanese
tech giant gave updates on its 300acre manufacturing facility in De
Soto, alongside a suite of lawmakers who helped bring the project to
Kansas.
Construction on the plant began
in late 2022. Soon, Democratic
Gov. Laura Kelly said, the plant
will start producing more than
60 batteries per second for use in
electric vehicles.
The facility represents Kansas
commitment to clean energy innovation and reinforces our position
as a leader in the global transition
to renewable energy solutions,
she said.
Before the first battery has left
the facility, the project will have
left an unmissable impact on the
city of De Soto, political leaders
said. The project has brought 3,800
construction workers to the area
a temporary workforce more
than half the size of the city itself
with new roads, businesses and
infrastructure to accommodate
them.
Project leaders said they expect
to have 1,000 on-site employees by
the summer, and 2,000 by 2026.
De Soto Mayor Rick Walker
said the dramatic changes will be
a net positive in the long term.
As we look a few years down
the road and the spinoff benefits
from the economic activity from
4,000 new workers in the area,
those revenues are going to far
exceed what is lost in the economic incentive thats given initially,
he said.
Kansas
bid

attract
Panasonics investment in the
state saw the creation of a fund-
ing mechanism called Attracting
Powerful Economic Expansion, or
APEX. The state offered over $800
million in tax incentives, with
the hope that those funds would
be made up multiple times over
by the revenues, infrastructure
improvements and commercial
activity following Panasonic into
the state.
Walker said the rise in sales tax
revenues from the boost in local
commerce has allowed the city to
reduce its property mill levy by
30%. He also said the plant has
enabled the city to update and
expand needed infrastructure,
including a water treatment facility, a sewer system and a fire station.
In an interview in December,
Republican state Sen. Mike
Thompson said hes skeptical
that the upfront investment in the
Panasonic plant will pay off.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
MOUND CITY Linn County communities were shaken earlier this
week by the deaths of two children
who fell into the icy Lake Chaparral,
about seven miles northwest of
Mound City.
A Facebook post form the Linn
County Sheriffs Office said deputies
were called to the Lake Chaparral
community about 8 p.m. Monday
after two children hadnt been seen
for several hours and were reported
missing.
The Linn County News reported
deputies called in additional help to
find the children, who they believed
to be somewhere near one of the
communitys lakes.
Using an aerial drone, the sheriffs office said it found the childrens bodies in a nearby lake,
trapped under ice. Responders from
the Overland Park Fire Department
dive team recovered the bodies.
The sheriffs department did not
immediately identify the children
who were found due to their ages.
Linn County authorities issued their
condolences to the families, friends
and community members affected.
Jayhawk USD 346, the school district for the area, told KCTV5 News
they were sending its prayers to the
families.
Jayhawk Nation, our schools are
dealing with a tragic loss. Prayers
for the families, our staff, and our
students, a spokesperson for the
school district said. Please know
that our staff is paying special attention to the well-being of our students
and that we are offering support.

murder in Kincaid,
investigators say
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
KINCAID Anderson County law
officers believe a relationship gone
bad was the kindling for the murder
of a Kincaid woman last week which
ended with the suspects suicide
after a chase with Kansas Highway
Patrol officers near Greensburg.
Anderson County Sheriff Wes
McClain said a letter in the possession of Jerry
W.
Thompson,
55 of Kincaid
and formerly of
Tidewater, Ore.,
pointed officers
to believe Sheila
Kendall, 36, was
breaking off their

five-year relationship shortly before
a welfare check at
her residence in Kincaid resulted
in the discovery of her body last
Thursday.
Anderson County Attorney Steve
Wilson said officers were unsure
how long Kendall was deceased
before she was found at her residence. He said Thompsons vehicle
was eastbound on U.S. Highway 54
Saturday night when his 2009 Ford
Focus was recognized by state troopers in Kiowa County, who initiated a
traffic stop. A report said Thompson
first pulled to the side of the road but
then suddenly accelerated, initiating
the chase. His vehicle then left the
roadway and struck a field entrance,
became airborne and rolled, ejecting him from the car. His body was
discovered with a bullet wound to
the head, believed to have been fired
from the loaded .38 caliber pistol
found in the vehicle, which was also

believed to be the weapon used
in Kendalls murder.
Sheriff McClain said a
handwritten letter found in
Thompsons possession spoke
to the apparent end of his yearslong relationship with Kendall.
Thompson was struggling with her leaving him,
McClain said. Thats what we
think fueled his actions, based
on that letter he had in his possession.
Wilson said Thompson had
traveled out of state and was
returning to Kansas when his
license tag alerted KHP, possibly in an attempt to construct
an alibi for the murder.
Both Thompson and Kendall
were former residents of
Oregon.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, January 30, 2025
PADFIELD
NOVEMBER 12, 1941 JANUARY 20, 2025
Dr. Jerry Padfield, age 83,
longtime resident of Garnett,
Kansas, passed away on
Monday, January 20, 2025, at
Vintage Park of Osawatomie.
Jerald Joe Padfield was born
on November
12, 1941, in
Hutchinson,
Kansas, the
son of Joe and
Eva (Saving)
Padfield, and
brother to
his big sister, Joyce. He
Padfield
spent some
formative
years in Chanute, but the vast
majority of them were spent
in Cherryvale, Kansas. Jerry
contracted polio as a child and
spent some time in an iron
lung in Wichita. The doctors
told him he would never walk
again, the family believes this
is when he first developed his
determined streak.
After proving the quacks
wrong and walking home from
his first day of second grade,
he proclaimed to his older sister that he had just met the
girl he was going to marry.
His determination once again
paid off, and over the course of
the next decade he pursued the
young lady, wearing down her
resolve, and managed to eventually out kick his coverage.
He was united in marriage to Susan Elaine Burns
on December 30, 1962, in
Cherryvale, Kansas. This
union was eventually blessed
with their son, Mark.
Jerry wanted badly to be an
athlete, he threw his all into
the efforts, but as he was 98
pounds of twisted steel and sex
appeal when he graduated
in 1960, he decided optometry
might be a better fit. His days
in a Cherryvale High School
Fighting Cherry uniform were
a source of pride for the rest of
his life however.
He started his pathway to
becoming an optometrist in
Houston, Texas, but switched
to the Southern College of
Optometry
in
Memphis,
Tennessee. He graduated in
1967, and he and Susan settled
in Garnett, Kansas, where he
opened his practice. In the mid1980s he opened a second practice in Kansas City, Missouri,
spending part of the week in
each location until his retirement in 2014.
One of his superpowers was
being able to complete a thirty minute exam in about an
hour. His patients knew that
they needed to clear a little
more time for their checkups,
because they were going to
have to suffer through numerous joke attempts and a handful of stories before they could

Turn around – God
is there waiting
In Psalm 38 we read Davids
petition to God for forgiveness
of his sin with Bathsheba. His
sin was grievous , adultery and
murder. The king petitions
God as follows in Psalm 38:
21-22. O LORD do not forsake
me; be not far from me, O my
God. Come quickly to help me
O LORD my Savior. David
feels as if Gods wrath is upon
him. It feels like he is wounded
with no chance of healing. His
friends and companions avoid
him. There are those who seek
his life. Prior to his sin David
was Israels most celebrated
and respected king. A man
who was honored and revered.
He feels as though God has forsaken him. In the last verse
of the Psalm David makes a
very pointed request of God,
be not far from me O my God.
David feels God has abandoned
him. If you are a Christian you
know what I am referring to.
Nothing can feel quite as lonely
as feeling separated from God.
The words just dont come to
commune with God as we have
been able to in the past. David
could not feel the compassion
for God as he had felt in the
past. In his own words he felt
God was far from him. Paul
felt that when he was in prison,
Elijah when he ran into the
wilderness to flee from Jezebel
when she sought his life.
There are many reasons
why we feel God is sometimes
far away. However we have to
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
accept the consequences of our
actions. If we are honest with
ourselves the fault for us feeling forsaken rests on us. God
is immutable, that is unchangeable. He told Joshua in Joshua
1:5, As I was with Moses, so
will I be with you: I will never
leave you or forsake you. That
promise stands for us today.
In the end David came to the
conclusion that God had not
forsaken him, but that he had
forsaken God. Because of our
flawed human nature we often
take the wide gate and the
broad road despite what God
directs us to do. Enter the narrow gate and the straight path.
You and I will find when we
begin to feel forsaken we need
to turn around because God
will be standing there waiting
for us.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, January 30, 2025
OPINION
Fat, unhealthy, expensive and dead
Some 40 percent of Americans in the most
recent studies are so fat their weight threatens
their health and Kansans are even worse.
In the context of the U.S. Senate confirmation hearings this week of Robert F. Kennedy
as Health and Human Services Secretary and
a Kansas political arena subject to the constant
crowing of Governor Laura Kelly to expand
state Medicaid benefits to more people, Kansas
and the country at large needs to have a serious
conversation about fat and what its costing us
not just in dollars but in quality of life.
But try as they might, public health officials
and others like RFK whove been sounding the
alarm about how fat weve gotten in the last 30
years and the reasons why havent found a
very receptive ear among either the public, the
government or the nations food industry. Indeed
the messaging has been buried in a monsoon of
commercial food marketing hawking goodies
with preservatives, carbohydrates, government
subsidized seed oils, bizarre chemical colorings
and high fructose corn syrup. Restaurant dining and dining locations with large portions of
mass produced foods have mushroomed over
the past three decades to recently become a $1
trillion U.S. industry. While the niche craze of
healthy eating and exercise has grown among
a slim, largely affluent segment of the population and led to a rise in commercial options for
health food grocery retailers and fitness facility
franchises like Planet Fitness in more populous
urban areas, here in the blue collar dominated
small towns of Kansas and the Midwest convenience store pizza rules and the primary mode
of exercise appears to be chewing.
Not only are Kansans fatter than the average American, but Sunflower State residents
are expected to get even fatter as time goes on.
Projections by the CDC estimate about half of all
adults age 18 and older in the U.S. will become
obese within the next 10 years but us biscuit
and gravy eaters in Kansas will lead the pack
with 55% expected to hit the too fat mark by
2034.
And Kansas kids are even fatter. At 31 percent tubby, theyre just edging the national
average of 30 percent. If youre 50 or over, how
many fat kids did you know in the 4th grade?
Anyone manufacturing macaroni and cheese,
much less feeding it to their kids as a part of
their regular diet, should be imprisoned.
Unlike the scenes of impoverished starvation
depicted two centuries ago in literature like
Charles Dickens Oliver Twist, the poor in the
U.S. now are the fattest and rural states like
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Kansas with larger numbers of poorer residents
see more than anecdotal proof. All studies of
obesity correlate lower socioeconomic status
with higher rates of obesity it isnt that the
poor in the U.S. arent well fed; its that healthier foods are more expensive and more time
consuming; cheaper, more convenient foods are
abundant and by far the most unhealthy. The
poorer you are, the more likely you are to eat
lots of bad food and more often.
Whether or not RFKs multiple idiosyncrasies will prevent his confirmation as HHS secretary, we can at least hope that his focus on
making the American food supply more healthy
will raise the topic to a new level of prominence
in the national dialogue.
There is a reason that America spends more
on health care than any other country yet has
some of the fattest, most unhealthy populations.
Theres a reason the U.S. had higher percentages of Covid deaths than other countries even
with the best doctors and the best medicine. In
the U.S., Covid was an accomplice, not a root
cause. Statistics that show higher mortality
rates among the oldest, poorest, fattest populations Blacks, Hispanics and residents of rural
areas prove it.
Hopefully the time is right for a full scale
overhaul of food and Americas approach
toward it. America decreased cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption, it can change its
food industry as well. Hopefully a new dialogue
in the U.S. medical community will focus on
improving health instead of profit incentives
in treating disease. And in Kansas, legislators
should consider this broader context before
tossing more dollars toward symptoms without
solving the problems that cause them. ###

City of Garnett, you have a sewer system downtown thats a hundred years old and threatens
to fail with every major rain storm. You have
a water plant youve been talking about replacing for what, 10 years, and still havent broken
ground? You say you want the taxpayers to pay
for a new swimming pool but Ive not heard a
peep about details on a bond issue or a special
committee to promote this project like we had
to do to pass our school bonds. Why are we
wasting time in a city meeting listening to
a sales pitch from some guy selling camera
systems which to my knowledge nobody even
inquired about? We better get some leadership in this city, either from the city manager
or from the city commission, or were going
to need to set our watches back 40 years in
Garnett instead of 30. Thank you.
Go Chiefs. Or Chefs, if you watch that funny
commercial.
Its a fantastic feeling to wake up each day and
see what new common sense and pro-American
actions President Trump has taken. Theres a
long, long way to go to get the job done but we
finally have the leadership in-place to do it and
do it right.
Trump wants to build detention for 30,000
illegal aliens at Guantanamo Bay. Theres also
a ton of fun things to do in Guantanamo Bay.

Who really ran the Biden White House? Here are 5 possibles President Donald Trump
For years, conservative media, lawmakers
and talking heads have been sounding the alarm
about President Joe Bidens cognitive free fall.
And for years, left-wing media, lawmakers and
their loyal mouthpieces waved it off with the
same condescending dismissal accusing us
of lying, fear-mongering or worse. Some even
went so far as to say they couldnt keep up with
Bidens supposed brilliance and jam-packed
schedule of what was mostly just one morning
briefing and two mid-afternoon naps.
Fast-forward to the post-presidency. Now that
Biden has shuffled out of office, left-wing media
seems to be waking up to the glaringly obvious.
The New York Times of all places yes, the
same paper that acted as Bidens PR firm
has revealed that he relied on teleprompters
during intimate fundraisers in private homes.
At events where he was supposed to come across
as casual and personable, he needed scripted
prompts. Donors werent exactly brimming with
confidence.
It wasnt Biden. And to answer Johnsons
question, there are at least five shadowy figures
who might have been behind the wheel or
rather, letting the car roll downhill with no one
on the brakes.
1. Former President Barack Obama
Remember when former President Barack
Obama joked in a 2020 interview with Stephen
Colbert that hed love a third term where he
could play puppet master while someone else
carried out his orders? Well, guess what he
may as well have been describing the Biden

presidency.
The continuity of Obama-era policies under
Biden is glaring. Bidens radical economic and
climate boondoggles like Build Back Better
and The Inflation Reduction Act werent just
echoes of Obamas agenda; they were carbon
copies, with Biden playing the role of a less convincing understudy. Bidens own Obamacare
albatross was just as disastrous, except this time
it was painted green, cost even more, and led to
an inflation nightmare.
And lets not forget the Afghanistan withdrawal fiasco, which had Obamas fingerprints
all over it. The same architects of Obama-era
failures were in charge, bungling timelines and
ignoring warnings. Meanwhile, Biden seemed
to be caught off guard at every turn, surprised
by how the plan unfolded because he probably wasnt the one pulling the strings. Who
were Bidens Secretary of State Antony Blinken,
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and CIA
Director William Burns actually answering to?
Obama wasnt exactly subtle about staying
in the picture. He was offering Biden advice,
headlining White House events, and reportedly
holding closed-door meetings with key officials.
By 2023, when Bidens mental decline became
increasingly difficult to camouflage, Politico
openly wondered, Is Barack Obama Ready To
Reassert Himself? He might have been asserting himself the entire time, or at least nudging
the wheel while Biden tried to figure out where
the car keys were.
2. First Lady Jill Biden
The first lady was Joe Bidens handler, coach
and babysitter. Jill Bidens influence on Joes
decision-making has been an open secret for
years, starting with his decision to run for
president in 2020, even though close advisers
reportedly warned he didnt have the stamina
for a grueling campaign.
When Joe Bidens promise to be a one-term
president came up, and Democrats began eyeing
the door for their next candidate, it was Jill who
convinced him to run for re-election despite
what she had to know about his obvious decline.
Was this about his legacy, or was it just a desperate power grab?

Democrat swing Left gave Trump the center, and he took it 12 Dist. Sen. Caryn Tyson
Donald Trump stood at the center of American
politics — in both senses –when he was inaugurated in the U.S. Capitol on Monday afternoon.
Pretty much everything of import in national affairs will revolve around Trump for the
foreseeable future, and hes managed, in many
respects, to occupy the political and cultural
center.
Trumps critics have long insisted that he be
shunned and not normalized. Did someone tell
Carrie Underwood, who performed America
the Beautiful at the inauguration (spontaneously going a cappella when there was a snafu with
the accompanying music)? Or the richest, most
successful entrepreneurs in the country, who
were on prominent display? Or, for the matter,
did someone tell the Village People?
If someone had predicted that the group
formed to appeal to gay disco fans in 1977 would,
in the year of our lord 2025, be performing at
a pre-inaugural rally for a Republican president-elect considered a troglodyte culture warrior by his enemies, hed have been justifiably
mocked and dismissed.
As it turns out, disco was never dead; it was
just waiting for Trump to revive it (actually, disco-inspired music was already on the upswing
before Trump came up with his trendy YMCA
dance).
How did a Democratic Party that has long
prided itself on its hipness and future-oriented attitude lose a coolness fight to Donald J.
Trump?
Well, for one thing, the partys primary voters renominated an octogenarian who couldnt
identify or align himself with a cultural trend if
he were gently directed to it by a bevy of solicitous aides. He was then swapped out for his

unimpressive vice president, who was the beneficiary of a manufactured campaign to make
her fun and interesting that collapsed of its own
weight by November.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had to sit awkwardly and listen in the Capitol as Trump excoriated their governing record. The harshness
of his critique has led some observers to deride
his inaugural address as American Carnage
2.0, a reference to the famous phrase from his
first inaugural. If Trump was unsparing in his
description of the status quo, though, he was
soaring in his promises of a thrilling new era
of national success.
He talked of bringing a revolution of common sense, positioning that wouldnt be so
easily available to him if the other side hadnt
ceded so much ground.
Trumps urgency about securing the border wouldnt have nearly the same political
salience if Biden hadnt been so heedless about a
record-breaking influx of illegal immigrants.
Trump wouldnt get to speak of defeating
record inflation if there hadnt been record
inflation in the first place.
Trumps decision to make it official government policy to only recognize two genders would
be irrelevant if the Democrats hadnt hitched
themselves to gender insanity.
Trumps call for ending the efforts to insinuate race and gender into all aspects of American
life would be meaningless if DEI hadnt become
Democratic gospel.
The Democrats appeared to believe that it
didnt matter how out of touch and radical
theyd become, so long as they were running
against a Donald Trump who could be ruled
out of bounds. But if the public concluded that
Trump made more sense than his adversaries, a
campaign to render him ipso facto unacceptable
was going to fail.
This is not to say that Trump is an anodyne
centrist. His zeal for tariffs and apparent determination to retake the Panama Canal are hardly
consensus positions, and he didnt mention his
imminent Jan. 6 pardons in his address. No
matter how much momentum Trump has now,
controversies will pile up and events will take
a hand. The current goodwill could prove quite
transitory.
Still, it was Trump who was the focus of all
the attention on Monday, Trump who is setting
the agenda and Trump who can plausibly define
himself as closer to the middle than his opponents — and they brought it on themselves.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, January 30, 2025
Egg prices are out of control
EGGS! Have you noticed the
prices of eggs lately? Have you
bought any? Last week while
grocery shopping I found the
prices anywhere from almost
$4 to as high as $8 per dozen.
Wow! What a shock. It almost
immediately brought back
memories of 1955-1956 when I
worked as an egg candler at
the Fawkes Feed Store. This
store was located on the northeast corner of the town square.
It was managed by Eldon and
Edith Fawkes of Garnett. They
not only bought eggs from local
farmers, but also their cream.
Back then farmers had their
own hand cream separaters.
We also sold Purina Feeds (or
Purina Chows), sacked feeds
and block salt, etc.
The employees at this
time were: Noma Randel and
myself the egg candlers, Virgil
Watkins the runner, collected
eggs from and delivered sacked
feed to local farmers. Virgil
also once a week took eggs and
cream to the city and brought
a truck load of Purina feed,
etc. back. Our eggs went to the
Fred Wolferman restaurant
and bakery. Robert Cole was
a jack of all trades around the
store, except for being a candler. Harry McNary ran the
small creamy located within
our store. He also helped Eldon

run the cash register up front.
Now for the shock! The prices we paid the farmers for their
eggs after candling.
Pullet – $.19 doz.
Small – $.20 doz.
Medium – $.21 doz.
Large – $. 22 doz.
Jumbo – $.23- $.24 doz. (extra
large) (double yoked)
Sometimes we would just
pay the farmers a set price for
a case and take a chance we
would come out on top after
they were candled.
So see how todays prices of
eggs set me off.

mance against Donald Trump,
where he looked more confused than commanding, Jill
delivered the kind of praise
that would make North Korean
propagandists blush: You
answered every question! You
knew all the facts!
It was as believable as former
Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas telling us
the border was secure while we
watched videos showing illegal
immigrants streaming across
it. Mayorkas lied to protect an
agenda; Jill lied to protect her
husbands image and her
own grip on influence.
Remember the infamous
photo of her sitting in the presidents chair on Air Force One
while prepping for the G7
Summit? Or how she led a cabinet meeting last September?
Since when does the first lady
run cabinet meetings? Jill was
stepping in when her husband
was disengaged, disoriented or
otherwise absent a role that
feels more like acting president
than loving partner.
3. Chief of Staff Jeff Zients
Bidens Chief of Staff Jeff
Zients, often called a fixer,
quietly emerged as one of the
most powerful figures in the
administration. Zients influence was evident during the
early stages of the pandemic, when he spearheaded the
COVID-19 response team. Since
then, his role has expanded,
effectively making him the
behind-the-scenes manager of
the White House with a president who didnt grasp what
was really going on.
Zients played a crucial part
in shaping and managing the
administrations day-to-day
agenda, including overseeing
staffing decisions and ensuring execution of Bidens initiatives. He recruited a third
deputy chief of staff, Natalie
Quillian, to implement the
administrations initiatives,
but the move was internally
controversial, ruffling feathers
of those who saw her as Zients
enforcer as the bad cop.
Given Zients reputation as
a detail-oriented manager with
significant control over White
House operations, its certainly
plausible that he orchestrated
the signing of the executive
order halting liquefied natural
gas exports, ensuring it aligned
with his broader environmental or economic goals without
requiring Bidens deep engagement.
4. National Security Advisor
Jake Sullivan
His role as national security
advisor positioned him as a
key figure in the Biden administration, but given the presidents cognitive abilities, it
may have been simply calling
the shots. Too bad he wasnt
very successful.
Sullivan was instrumental
in orchestrating major policies, such as the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, where he
managed the planning process. Sullivan was so involved
that it caught the attention of
Congressman Mike McCaul,
who demanded Sullivan testify
in front of a House committee.
He also played a significant
role in shaping the administrations industrial strategy, promoting policies to protect U.S.
manufacturing and counter
Chinas technological advancements.
Given these substantial
responsibilities and his central role in formulating and
implementing policy, its plausible that Sullivan functioned
as a de facto leader within the
administration,
especially
given Bidens capacity to govern.
5. A purple-haired 24-yearold intern who moonlights as a
TikTok influencer
The radical shift in gender
and race policies under the
Biden administration screams
of a progressive activist completely out of touch with mainstream America.
Bidens decision to let biological males compete in womens sports signed as an executive order on day one showcases the extreme agenda of
far-left influencers. Add to that
the administrations push for
critical race theory training
across federal agencies and its
abandonment of meritocracy
for race- and gender-conscious
hiring.
These policies feel like they
were dreamed up by a 24-yearold progressive fresh out of
college, fresh off a gap year
funded by their parents while
they roughed it in luxury
hotels across Europe.
Then theres the White
Houses reliance on TikTok
and X influencers like Harry
Sisson and Chris Mowrey.
Watching influencers awk-
wardly dance while professing
their love for an octogenarian
president wasnt just embarrassing it was a window
into whos really shaping the
administrations messaging.
What kind of adult turns
to TikTok twerps for serious
promotion? Probably another
TikTok twerp with access to
Bidens social media accounts.
This cringe-worthy reliance
on influencers reflects a radicalized youth presence in the
White House, wielding outsized influence over both policy and messaging.
The Rejects
Could
Vice
President
Kamala Harris really have
been running the show?
Unlikely. She treated her VP
title the same way she handled
her border czar role loving
the prestige while doing next to
nothing. As for Hunter Biden,
he may have had influence, but
running a shadow presidency
while hawking finger paintings
for Oval Office access? Thats a
full-time job all on its own. And
actor George Clooney? Sure, he
ended Bidens presidency with
one editorial, but lets be real
would someone who wields
that kind of influence give up
power so easily? Doubt it.

Prescribed Burn Workshop to be Feb. 18
GARNETT, Kan. — The
K-State
Research
and
Extension Frontier District
and the Anderson County
Conservation District will host
a school to teach attendees
how to plan and safely conduct
an effective prescribed burn.
The school will be held from
10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday,
Feb. 18 at the Anderson
County Community Building
in Garnett. The location can
be found at North Lake Road
next to the fairgrounds. A chili
lunch will be available, with a
donation appreciated to help
cover expenses. Registration
is requested by Friday, Feb.
14 to Ryan Schaub, agriculture agent, at 785-448-6826 or
reschaub@ksu.edu.
Presenters from multiple organizations are coming
together to help teach the
school. Topics addressed by
these presenters will include
reasons to burn, weather conditions for burning, equipment
needed, how to plan and safely
conduct a burn, fire behavior,
hazards and precautions, liability and CRP rules.
Burning of native grasses
in Kansas, both natural and
man-made, goes back hundreds
of years and is responsible for
the development of the Great
Plains, of which only about
4% remains. Based on early
records, these fires varied from
only a few acres to thousands of
acres that lasted weeks.
On average, Kansas producers have burned roughly 2 million acres each year, but recent
trends show that acres have
fallen short of that number
in the last few years. K-State
releases a burn report every
week during the burning season, which is the beginning of
BUSINESS

March to the end of May. This
report estimates, according to
satellite images, the number of
acres that have been burned. In
the last few years, K-State has
compiled the following estimations:
2024 – 1.37 million acres
2023 – 1.2 million acres
2022 – 1.89 million acres
2021 – 1.88 million acres
K-State research also shows
that to keep woody encroachment pushed back, landowners need to burn native grasses at least 60% of the time.
According to Schaub, many
factors can impact why burning doesnt occur.
Maybe the winds were too
strong in the spring, maybe the
spring weather was too wet, or
maybe we fear it will be a dry
year or the previous years dry
weather didnt produce enough
vegetation to burn, Schaub
said. While we say the burning season is 90 days long, if we
get 30 good days to burn, its a
good burn year!
In addition to preventing
woody plants from invading the
prairie grasses, burns conducted under favorable conditions
and with proper timing may
provide benefits of increased
forage quality, improved grazing distribution, increased
stocker cattle gains, improved
wildlife habitat, faster development of newly seeded grasses
and reduced wildfire hazards.
The primary purpose of the
school on Feb. 18 is to help landowners and producers safely
use fire as a tool to manage
and improve their grasslands.
If you have questions, call
Schaub at 785-448-6826 or send
him an email at reschaub@ksu.

Book
discussion
for
February is ready and available for pick up at the library.
Garnett Public Librarys book
discussion for Wednesday,
February 26th at 7pm, is titled,
Crow Mary by Kathleen
Grissom.
In 1872, sixteen-year-old
Goes First, a Crow Native
woman, marries Abe Farwell,
a white fur trader. He gives
her the name Mary, and they
set off on the long trip to his
trading post in Saskatchewan,
Canada. Along the way, she
finds a fast friend in a Mtis
named Jeannie; makes a lifelong enemy in a wolfer named
Stiller; and despite learning a
dark secret of Farwells past,
falls in love with her husband.
The winter trading season
passes peacefully. Then, on the
eve of their return to Montana,
a group of drunken whiskey traders slaughters forty
Nakotadespite
Farwells
efforts to stop them. Mary, hiding from the hail of bullets,
sees the murderers, including Stiller, take five Nakota
women back to their fort. She
begs Farwell to save them,
and when he refuses, Mary
takes two guns, creeps into
the fort, and saves the women
from certain death. Thus, she
sets off a whirlwind of colliding cultures that brings out
the worst and best in the cast
of unforgettable characters
and pushes the love between
Farwell and Crow Mary to
the breaking point. (https://

TOPEKA – AuBurn Pharmacy
will close all its Kansas retail
pharmacies
Wednesday,
February 5th, to advocate at the
state capital with the Kansas
Pharmacists
Association
(KPhA). KPhA Advocacy Day
will bring pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, student
pharmacists, and all other
pharmacy staff together for
grassroots advocacy with
Kansas lawmakers. It provides
an opportunity to share our
story with representatives and
senators at the Kansas State
Capitol and help advance our
priorities into this years legislative session!
AuBurn Pharmacy CEO,
Mike Burns, had this to say
about his decision to close for a
day, We are standing together
to ensure that our ability to
continue providing essential
care to our patients remains
protected. Closing for a single
day is a small sacrifice compared to the heartbreaking
decision many independent
pharmacies had to face last
year when they were forced to
shut their doors for good.
Burns said with a quick
and critical legislative session
approaching, pharmacy leaders are sounding the alarm
for urgent reforms to protect
patient access to medications
and prevent the further closure of independent pharmacies. Lawmakers have been
informed that committees will
only vote on legislation if there
are sufficient votes to pass it.
This makes it essential that
our message be loud, clear, and
heard across the state, Burns
said.
The message smalltown
pharmacies want to get across
for this session is simple:
Protect Medication Access
Stop Pharmacy Closures
PBM Reform now.
We have nine key points
that are in process of being
finished up at the revisors
office, Burns said. Those are:
Fair reimbursement for
dispensed medications
Transparency in cost for
employers and payers
Close regulatory authority
loophole
Remove gag clauses from
PBM contracts
Protection against frequent
unfair audits
Protection against excessive and arbitrary fees
Institute network access
standards that exclude mail
order
Allow for selective participation in networks without
being forced into unfair contracts
Protection against patient
steerage to PBM owned pharmacies
Your senators will head
back to the Capitol on the 13th,
and we want them armed with
truthful information about
PBMS and the reality pharmacies are facing if we dont act
now, Burns said.

Tinkering with taxes
My local public library has
perhaps the best marketing of
a tax-provided service ever.
Patrons who check out items
there receive a receipt that
details the savings achieved
by using the library. In 2024,
my wife and I saved close
to $5,000 according to this
accounting.
There are some generous
assumptions made to achieve
that figure. The biggest, of
course, is that we would have
paid the retail price for every
book we checked out. Then
theres the matter of the property tax we paid directly to the
library, which would knock
about $200 off the alleged savings.
Even with the creative
accounting, I think its safe to
say we came out ahead in the
value proposition. The savings likely didnt exceed the
entire property tax liability of
our home as the library would
like us to believe, but we did
receive a benefit far above the
list price on our tax bill.
On the other hand, the vast
majority of our property tax
bill went to services we didnt
directly use but still benefitted from. Things like police
and fire protection along with
elementary schools and road
repairs. All are vital to a thriving community. I believe people who keep our communities
safe, run into burning buildings, educate the next generation and patch potholes are all
underpaid.
Primarily because while we
enjoy the services provided by
taxes, we dont like getting the
bill. This is especially true of
property taxes where the benefits are diffuse and not neatly
allocated on the tab we receive
each fall.
Logically, I understand
property taxes are like a subscription service for ongoing
services, similar to the bills I
receive from my internet provider and Netflix. But I can
KANSAS COMMENTARY
cancel those services without
consequence if I think their
cost exceeds their value.
In reality, property taxes are
a mix of policy and politics
that weve collectively chosen
through voting for city councilors, county commissioners
and state legislators. I cant say
they always get things right,
but they usually find the appropriate balance.
Often good politics are
at odds with good policy.
Generally speaking, our states
property tax system is fair and
balances the impact of taxation on various property uses
in a judicious manner. Im
sure theres room for improvement, but it could also be much
worse.
A recent proposal to limit
the valuation growth of residential and commercial property is one of those times where
politics is running ahead of policy. While I would likely benefit from such a change from
a tax standpoint, I dont know
if Id come out ahead after
accounting for the unintended
consequences.
A cap on appraisals to limit
the growth of property taxes is
an attempt to manipulate the
market. If the legislature wants
to lower property taxes it has
the power to reduce its current
21.5-mill levy that supports
funding for public schools and
university maintenance.
That would provide an
immediate relief to homeowners, businesses and landSEE INSIGHT ON PAGE 11

FROM PAGE 1
The demand for electric cars is
not there, said Thompson, whose
district covers parts of Johnson
County. Is that going to be even
viable in five or 10 years?
Democratic Lt. Gov. David
Toland was an early and ardent
supporter of luring Panasonic to
Kansas. He said its a major step in
making Kansas a hub for sustain-
able energy innovation.
Democratic Lt. Gov. David
Toland, who also serves as the
states secretary of commerce,
was a top proponent for bringing
the project to Kansas through the
APEX incentive program. He said
the project puts Kansas at the forefront of a burgeoning clean-energy
industry.
Republican leaders joined in
the recent visit to the plant. House
Speaker Dan Hawkins and Senate
President Ty Masterson hailed the
project as a bipartisan accomplishment in polarized times.
LOCAL
We had a supermajority
Republican Legislature, a Democrat
administration, but when it comes
to this, we find friendship and partnership, Masterson said.
The Senate president said he hopes
the prospect of economic growth
and innovation will help counteract
the states population decline.
We dont have mountains and
beaches, but we have a wonderful
place to raise a family, Masterson
said.

Bulldog lady grapplers

PAOLOA – The Anderson
County girls wrestled at Paola
last Friday and despite not
having any podium finishers,

one of her three matches as
she downed Isabella Braddy of
St. James Academy by major
decision (15-2).

County Community by fall
(3:11) before dropping her final
2 matches.

ers. The proposal to limit
appraisal growth wouldnt
undo any of the meteoric rise
of years gone by but instead
would slowly shift tax burdens
from fast-growing areas to ones
with slower growth. It would
create an incentive for people
to not move and levy taxes
based not on a propertys actual value, but rather when it was
purchased.
Older, more established
people who happen to frequent
their local library would pay
far less than the newlyweds
who bought the house next
door despite both receiving
similar services. If the legislature is determined to tinker
with taxes, it should stick to
setting rates rather than pursuing a policy that will create
collateral damage in the future.

Streets. He either built or
acquired the towns first electric utility, and was forced
in a lawsuit to sell it to the
City of Garnett in 1914, After
having owned what is now
Crystal Lake and sold it to the
city in 1890. He produced the
woodwork in the Holy Angels
Manse in 1931, all the while
building and shipping custom
church pews across the country and establishing Garnett
as the preeminent name in the
church furniture industry.
The Henderson fire highlights the particular risks for
the families who fell in love
with the hundred-plus yearold, typically energy inefficient
but unmatched vintage character homes that still keep watch
over the residential streets of
Garnett and numerous other
small towns. Contrary to popular belief safety authorities say
new homes can actually burn
faster and hotter than old ones
due to heavier use of flammable synthetics in carpets and
curtains. Even so, the centu-
ry old timbers of older home
stand perilously dry and ready
to ignite, their decades of varnish painted onto floors and
woodwork aiding the flames,
as well as balloon framing
in old construction that facilitates fire spreading in open
spaces between floors. Fiire
prevention experts reiterate
the importance of smoke detectors and even fire suppressant
sprinkler systems in these old
giants if families can afford
them.
Those old homes are a wistful reminder of better economic times for small towns
in the hustling boom of the
early 1900s; monuments to the
success that rewarded the hard
work of town stalwarts who
built our communities. By constructing those stately homes,
they gave us an understanding
of quality and tradition that
keeps reaching forward more
than a century later.
Sadly, on a cold January day
just weeks ago, Garnett lost
one of them.

Lancers finish 5th in War on 54 Tourny
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 01-30-2025 / SUBMITTED
Congratulations to Connor Burkdoll for signing his commitment to Washburn University! Connor is one
of the most decorated athletes in Central Heights history where he already has multiple school records,
multiple state records and multiple state championships in Cross Country and Track & Field for the
Vikings. The Ichabods will be getting a great one this fall and we couldnt be more proud of the incredible
student, athlete and person that Connor has become. Pictured with Conner are his parents Amy & Cody
Burkdoll with cross country coach Troy Prosser standing behind them.

margin.
Locke was hired in the fall
of 2022 shortly before he was
elected to a post as Garnett
City Commissioner, which he
still holds and will face re-election in the Fall of 2025. He was
criticized during the sheriffs
campaign at the potential of
serving multiple elected offices plus as county emergency
department head, but it was a
high profile tiff with Anderson
County Hospital Ambulance
Department Director Troy
Armstrong late in 2024 that
caused the most friction among
county emergency responders.
Unconfirmed reports from the
Jan. 23 fire at a residence on
3rd Avenue in Garnett said
other static arose between
Locke and firemen. Locke
did not respond to an email
seeking comment from the
Review. County commissioners declined to comment at
Mondays county meeting.
Rural fire coordinator Cruze
Gillespie has assumed the
directors position on an interim basis until commissioners
determine what the future will
hold for the department. One
issue which arose immediately were the prospects for an
$80,000 infrared enabled drone
the department acquired in
2018 with a grant. Gillespie
said only two local individuals were trained to pilot the
machine, and its software was
multiple upgrades behind and
at this point could not be flown
until those upgrades were completed.

IOLA The Crest Lancers
competed in the War on 54
Tournament in Iola and opened

following a 21-6 advantage in
the third quarter.
