Grocery buyers get back drop in the bucket from Kansas
Sales tax reduction of 2%
lacks significance in view of
recent price hikes for goods
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA While the State of Kansas
sits on its biggest pot of tax-generated
spare cash in state history some $2.8
billion youll save an extra $2 for
every $100 in groceries you buy as of
the first of this month.
Yee haw, most Kansans are saying.
With 18 months of inflation driving
some goods to nearly double their
price of just a few years ago, bankers
and others in the state say saving
two percent in the recent food sales
tax reduction will probably be barely
noticeable.
Nobodys said anything about it,
said a checker working at the Country
Mart grocery store in Garnett last
week. Maybe nobody noticed?
For starters, the reduction doesnt
account for sales taxes enacted by
local governments cities and coun-
ties across the state add on varying
amounts groceries purchased in
Garnett, for instance, carry an added
sales tax of 1 percent for Anderson
County and percent for the city.
The reduction in sales tax on
food dropped the states 6.5 percent
sales tax rate to 4 percent in 2023
and to 2 percent on January 1, and
will decrease in January next year
to 0. The move was an option for tax
relief, particularly for families who
buy lots of groceries, and one of the
rare compromises reached between
Democrat Governor Laura Kelly and
the Republican-controlled state legislature one that according to Kansas
Department of Revenue estimates will
save Kansans $12.5 million per month
in 2024. But inflation-spiked prices of
groceries and other goods make the
savings negligible, unless a household
buys a large amount of groceries.
I think you can say that it is an
admirable effort and uniform across
everyone who buys groceries, said
Jeff McAdam of GSSB in Garnett.
But the result is negligible compared
to the way other prices have shot up. es and drinks up 18.6 percent;
McAdam noted economic statistics food from vending machines

Motion to suppress
testimony expected
in Slyter felony case
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Attorneys for the defense were expected to
file a motion to suppress evidence yesterday in a status
hearing for a Garnett man accused in
large-scale farm equipment thefts in
Anderson County and the surrounding area dating back several years.
Marvin Slyters lawyers were
expected to file the motion citing
conflicting testimony by law enforcement from the July preliminary hearing, which culminated in his August
Slyter
arraignment on nine felony theft
charges.
Anderson
County
Attorney
Elizabeth Oliver said last week Slyters case had been
delayed by the inability of the prosecutor and defense
to obtain a transcript of the July preliminary, which
had been ordered but had not yet been produced for the
attorneys review. Oliver told the Review the transcription had been contracted to a vendor not typically used
by the local court system and that no explanation had

Most all county offices up for election in 2024
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The election year in 2024
wont just be big-name national races
local races will also be decided among
cities and school districts as well as five
major county-level offices. They are the
local first steps for local residents thinking of dipping a toe into the realm of
public service.
The offices of county commission,
county clerk, county attorney, register
of deeds and treasurer are each four-year
terms and are voted upon in presidential election years. City commission and
council posts and school board positions
are usually elected each year in staggerrd order. State Representative posts and
State Senate posts are two and four years.
All office filing deadlines are June 1, and
may be filed by obtaining a threshhold
number of petition signatures, or by paying a filing fee.
A breakdown of local offices, their
responsibilities and compensation is outlined below. For more information, contact the Anderson County Clerks office at
(785) 448-6841.
COUNTY CLERK: Four-year term.
The county clerk has a variety of functions, serving as the secretary for the
county commission, administrator of
payroll and accounts payable as well
as being the human resource dept, prepares tax roll for the county and certifies
levies, acts as the chief budgeting official and the county election officer, as

Wiehl to take seat tonight in Garnett amid challenges
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Newly-elected Garnett City
Commissioner Nate Wiehl is set to be
sworn into office at tonights regular
Garnett City Commission meeting, taking the seat as the city starts the new year
facing a host of continuing challenges in
various areas of its operations.
Wiehl pulled out a landslide victory in
a grass roots write-in campaign for the
post in November, managing 74 percent
of the vote among two declared candidates and two organized write-ins. Only
594 of the citys 2,288 registered electors
about 26 percent turned out for the
election.
Among the challenges Wiehl and the
commission will face in the first year of
his term is a claim by Sherry Harrison,
the former economic
development director
who resigned and made
a claim amounting to
some $20,000 against the
city after she said she
could no longer handle
the continued involvement of previous director Julie Turnipseed,
Wiehl
who Harrison said
harassed and emotionally abused her as she trained for the new
position. Harrison made the initial claim
in October, but so far no settlement has
been reported or court case filed.
While turmoil swirls in the city/county economic development department,
city officials are under pressure to expand
local housing options as major industrial
developments move forward at DeSoto
and in Coffey County. The lithium electric
battery and microchip factories slated for
those communities are expected to create several thousand jobs, though almost
none of the surrounding communities
have whats determined to be adequate
housing offerings for relocating or arriving employees who may follow those jobs

Jesus an easy way out. Bow

all the pain and suffering that

tells us take care of yourself.
You deserve whatever you can

things of the world is foolish.
However, if Jesus would have
accepted Satans offer we would
be living without hope of anything beyond this life.
What Satan does not tell us
is the pain, suffering, sickness,
loneliness and other tragedies
that come with choosing him,
then death and separation from

personal Savior then Isaiah the

guard our lives. Isaiah uses

Satan is all about destroying.
His name means slander or
false deceiver. Evil exists
all around us. Mega dollars are
spent supporting and promoting it. Evil currently seems to
have the upper hand but God is
working in the world. You see
God does not fear Satan. Satan
was defeated by the empty
tomb. Satans only remaining
option is to take as many souls
with him as he can. Dont be
one of them. Satan will try
to load you up with guilt if he
thinks you might choose Jesus.
Dont buy it. Though your sins

them white as snow and take
you as one of his own.

Donna Marie Carr, age 73, of
Garnett, Kansas, passed away

2024, at her
home, surrounded by
family.
She was
born
on
August 17,
Carr
1950,
in
O t t a w a ,
Kansas, the
daughter of Matthew J. and
Irene B. (Pickert) Feuerborn.
Donna attended school at
Holy Angels and graduated
from Garnett High School with
the class of 1968. After high
school, Donna was united in
marriage on September 20, 1969
to J.D. Carr. This union was
blessed with six children.
She was always too busy
working and raising her kids
and wonderful family to have
too many hobbies. She loved
her flowers and gardening,
always had the house surrounded with flowers. Donna loved
seeing and talking with people.
A big event everyday was cocktail hour where she and J.D.
would sit on their front porch
and visit with many friends
and passerbys who would stop
and sit. She was a cook and
enjoyed baking where her specialty was her "magic bread".
Donna was always the rock
and level head in the marriage
where she was supportive, or
at least indulged, most of her
husband's crazy ideas.
Donna worked at Hotel

school and Hallmark Cards in
Lawrence after graduation. She
also worked at Pioneer Room in
Garnett, as well as many other
restaurants. Dillons Bakery
for 9 years in Dodge City and
Olathe. Donna and J.D. bought
and managed Tradewinds Bar
and Grill in Garnett for 16
years. She retired in 2016, but
couldn't stand being idle so she
started working part time at St.
Rose School in Garnett as a janitor and then a cook until her
passing. She loved working at
the school being with the kids
where she would make extra
efforts to see that they were
happy and well fed.
Some of Donna's favorite
times were Halloween and
Christmas. She was always
excited getting ready for the
costume parties at Tradewinds.
She and Lois would get dressed
up to go out trick or drinking.
She had a passion for buying
Christmas gifts for the family
and the big family Christmas
get-togethers, as well as
Thanksgiving dinner with all
the nieces, nephews, cousins,
and all the other relatives.
Donna was preceded in
death by her parents; sister,
Lois Miller; daughter, Brenda
Dee Carr.

of her life, J.D. of the home;

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 9, 2024
Kelly looking for moderate extremists
Laura Kelly has less than a year to make
Kansas into the kind of utter disaster Joe Biden
can be proud of, and she needs more moderates to do it.
Itll be no easy chore. When the laughter died
down last summer after the announcement of
Kellys Middle of the Road political action
committee aimed at tossing out Republicans and
turning the Kansas Legislature back toward the
groove shes worn in the far left lane of Kansas
politics, the realization of the U.S. Presidents
sinking approval rating and his similarities to
the Kansas governor started humming in the
distance like a train whistle. As summer turned
to fall and fall to the holiday season, that blaring
warning signal got closerclosercloser.
And like that tooth-jarring air horn so familiar to the voters in the Kansas House and Senate
districts that will be decided this fall, the threat
of Kellys version of Middle of the Road portends impending disaster for those in Kansas
who dont heed the warning.
The problem that blares far ahead of Kellys
falsely branded image as a moderate is that
like Biden, shes never governed from the middle and shes never been called on that point by
anyone in mainstream Kansas media. Only in
the newsletters of the GOP legislators and in a
handful of independently owned rural newspapers across the state have the facts and impacts
of Kelly policy been laid bare; from her theft of
your Trump income tax refund early in the 45th
presidents new term to her opposition to a law
to keep men out of your daughters restroom and
off her volleyball team.
One thing is for certain: had it not been for
Republican majorities in the Kansas Legislature
since Laura Kelly became governor, the
Sunflower state would be a far, far different
place.
We need only glance back to March 2020,
when Kelly disavowed actual medical findings
for Covid and pushed a debilitating mask mandate and the economic coma of a statewide
shutdown on Kansans, despite miniscule threat
to most residents from the virus. Other states
tempered caution with facts, eased restrictions
almost immediately, and properly ranked the
treatment of the virus below the rest of its economic, educational, religious and social priorities. Had it not been for the action of the Kansas
Legislature to thwart Kellys shutdown of the
states economy, stay-at-home rule, force the
reopening of its schools, and let county elected
officials determine their own policy on mask
requirements, Kansans might still be gripped by
REVIEW COMMENTARY

paralyzing, unproven fear.
For the debacle of her actions handling the
pandemic and the untold economic and cultural
damage she did, she has never apologized.
If thats the output from a more moderate,
government, most Kansans will pass. Theyd
have done so during Kellys re-election bid in
2022 if not for Republicans insistence on a circular firing squad aiming at its own candidates
and an anti-abortion amendment worded like
the disclaimer on a car finance commercial.
Kellys assertion of stocking the legislative
pond with more moderate fish has poorly veiled
intentions. More moderates in the pool last
session would have succeeded in putting an end
to the Kansas Womens Bill of Rights. Theyd
have helped Kelly thwart a GOP plan to fund
crisis pregnancy centers in opposition to the
Sunflower States new reputation as the abortion capital of the Midwest. Kelly knows she can
enlist moderates to again stop real tax relief for
Kansans like she did in 2023 afterall, the more
of that $2.8 billion surplus that goes back to the
Kansans who paid it in, the less thatll be available to expand government.
But the goose that will lay Kellys golden egg
will be trying to ram through one of the highest-priced medical welfare initiatives in Kansas
history in true keeping with the mantra of
government expansion. She knows more moderates would help her mass enough votes to
pass Medicaid expansion in the state the issue
thats become the true litmus test of localizing
socialism state to state.
Wed be well served to listen to the warning
being sent by Kellys quest for more moderates to perfect Joe Bidens America. When
a proven disaster of a governor tells you she
intends to screw up your state believe her. ###

U.S. education fails our future by forgetting our past
Last year, eighth grade test scores in civics and U.S. history hit record lows. The
decline didnt start with pandemic school
closings. But they made it worse and revealed
its extent.
Less than half of adults can name the three
branches of the U.S. government. Another
25% cant name even one. And just over onethird of Americans can pass the U.S. citizenship test.
These sad facts are a reminder that the
future success of our nation is far from guaranteed. We must acknowledge the imperfections
of our current system and work to reform
them — a challenging but hardly impossible
task.
For starters, history curricula should be
based on the United States founding documents: the Declaration of Independence, the
Constitution, and the Federalist Papers.
Some states have prioritized reading
primary sources and writing assignments
so that students develop background
knowledge, vocabulary, and the ability to
advance evidence-based arguments. The 1993
Massachusetts Education Reform Act, for
example, prioritized the study of U.S. history
through primary documents in each grade
and required passing a U.S. history exam for
high school graduation.
South Carolina, California, Alabama,
Indiana, and New York have also previously
EDUCATION COMMENTARY
JAMIE GASS, CENTER FOR SCHOOL REFORM
adopted rigorous state standards for history
and social science.
In some cases, these reforms were repealed
in favor of trendier classes in social studies. But the principles underlying the 1993
Massachusetts law and others like it got the
fundamental questions right. They are worthy of revival.
All states should also require a passing
mark on a civics test or the U.S. citizenship
exam for a high-school diploma. Today, only
eight states do so.
If were to truly become the educated society the Founders envisioned, well have to
invest in better training for teachers as well.
Most states have dropped even basic requirements for people entering the teaching profes-
sion, blaming a shortage of qualified labor.
Finally, the institutes of higher learning
that train teachers must convey the centrality
of civics and history in a curriculum geared
toward producing good citizens.
Education is the responsibility of state
and local actors. Rather than retaining the
top-down approach that has led to our current failures, school systems should engage
with parents to understand their educational
priorities for their children. Expanded schoolchoice programs can provide the means for
parents to go elsewhere when they are dissatisfied with available public education options.
The importance of a nonpartisan, factbased U.S. history and civics education cannot be overstated. Without one, students will
not be able to take their place as informed and
engaged citizens dedicated to preserving the
legacy of Americas Founders.
We know how to provide that sort of education. We just need the will to make it happen.
The future of our great country depends on it.

School Reform at Pioneer Institute, where
Chris Sinacola is Director of Communications.

a Hill: U.S. History and Civics in Americas
Schools. A longer version of this piece was
originally published in the Miami Herald.
Finally, a confession from Covids public health experts
The public-health officials are getting
around to admitting the fallibility of public-health officials.
The former head of the National Institutes
of Health during the pandemic and current science advisor to President Joe Biden, Francis
Collins, has noted that he and his colleagues
demonstrated an unfortunate narrow-mindedness.
This is a welcome, if belated, confession.
Not too long ago, anyone who said that
epidemiologists might be overly focused on
disease prevention to the exclusion of other
concerns — you know, like jobs, mental health
and schooling — were dismissed as reckless
nihilists who didnt care if their fellow citizens died en masse.
Now, Francis Collins has weighed in to
tell us that many of the people considered
close-minded and anti-science during COVID19 were advancing an appropriately balanced
view of the trade-offs inherent in the pandemic response.
If youre a public-health person and youre
trying to make a decision, you have this very
narrow view of what the right decision is,
Collins said at an event earlier this year that
garnered attention online the last couple of
days.
This is not a new insight, or a surprising
one. Its a little like saying Bolsheviks will be
focused on nationalizing the means of production over everything else, or a golf pro will be
monomaniacal about the proper mechanics of
a swing.
The problem comes, of course, when public
health, or public health, becomes the only
guide to public policy. Then, you are giving a
group of obsessives, who have an important
role to play within proper limits, too much-
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
power in a way that is bound to distort your
society.
Francis Collins, again: So you attach
infinite value to stopping the disease and
saving a life. You attach zero value to whether
this actually totally disrupts peoples lives,
ruins the economy, and has many kids kept
out of school in a way that they never quite
recover from.
True and well said, but thats an awful lot of
very important things to attach zero value
to.
He also admitted to having an urban bias,
driven by working out of Washington D.C.
and thinking almost exclusively about New
York City and other major cities.
If Francis Collins and his cohort got it
wrong, the likes of Florida governor Ron
DeSantis and Georgia governor Brian Kemp
— and the renegade scientists and doctors who
supported their more modulated approach to
the pandemic — got it right.
Its always worth remembering that the
pandemic was a once-in-hundred-years event
and initially, we had very little information
and very few means to prevent and treat the
disease. It is inevitable that decision-makers
are going to make mistakes in such a crisis,
and adjust as they go.
That said, the scientists who were in positions of authority could have shown more
modesty. They could have welcomed debate.
They could have distanced themselves from
— or better yet, denounced — the campaign of
moral bullying carried out in their name.
Many people wanted to outsource their
thinking to the experts and then, with a great
sense of righteousness, rely on arguments
from authority to demonize their opponents
and shut down every policy dispute.
Francis Collins, one of the most eminent
scientists in the country and a subtle thinker
who dissents from the orthodoxy that science
and faith are incompatible, would have been
an ideal voice to counter the propaganda
campaigns that aimed to suppress unwelcome
views and even unwelcome facts. Instead, he
stuck with his tribe.
Its progress, though, to realize that scientists, too, are susceptible to group-think,
recency bias and parochialism; that the
experts may know an incredible amount

little to nothing about broader matters of

Its not just that the scientists acted like
blinkered scientists during the pandemic;
they tolerated, or participated in, agitprop
that was inimical to the scientific spirit and
to good public policy.

Thank you.
It is not surprising that Democrat controlled
Harvard does not have a problem with
Democrat mobs on campus calling for the
genocide of Jews. Harvard has long promoted genocidal rhetoric. Remember even back
in 2002 when the official Harvard magazine
feature article was titled Abolish The White
Race?
Under the criminal Biden administration,
Lieutenant General Deanna Burke on video
in uniform at an official Pentagon Pride event
attacked Republican state legislation protecting children from sexual mutilation, repeating
the Democrat lie that it is anti-LGBTQ, even
though it is illegal for the U.S. military to
interfere in such partisan political matters.
But when Air Force Reservist Jace Yarbrough,
as a private citizen on his own time, criticized
boys being allowed to invade girls sports,
locker rooms and bathrooms, he was quickly
disciplined and his military career ruined.

HISTORY
More findings – One need help identifying 20 years ago: Hearings begin for burning
of historic landmarks and break-ins
DIGGING UP THE PAST
Over a full week of 2024 has
already zoomed by, and am I
ever thankful I had a good fall
in 2023 finding artifacts at my
two excavation sites. Thats
why I still have several photos
of those finds to share with
you. I remember about 20-25
years ago,when I was younger I
would go digging as soon as the
temp was above 38 degrees,and
now I hardly get outside unless
its 50 degrees or more. So I
have no earthly idea when in
2024 Ill be back out there doing
my thing.
#1 – Ive shared a photo of
one of these oil lamp burner
baskets before, however it was
badly damaged. Other than
missing a wick, this one is complete.
#2 – Do you have any idea?

slotted token used in a very old
telephone. Let me hear of your
idea?
#3 – This is actually beautiful. It most likely hung from an
old lamp shade or a chandelier.
It is held together by very thin
gold wire. Hoping I will find
more of it in the future at this
site.
#4 – Remember me telling
you there were porcelain or
China doll parts scattered all
over this site. Here is a complete doll arm and hand I found
on my last visit in 2023.

40 years ago…
Telephone service for residents in southern Anderson
County was disrupted due to
an issue with a mechanism in
a tower near Chanute. USD
479 Board members received
sealed bids for a reroofing
project Tuesday night. Five
of the six bidders were present at the meeting, each was
given a chance to explain their
submitted bids, many of the
companies seemed comparable
to each other. A local 87-yearold man has been flying the
American flag daily since he
lived in Topeka with his family
before 1983. Merle Benson, a
World War I Air Corps veteran said he began flying the
flag as a reminder ..were still
Americans.
30 years ago…(Nov 23, 1993)
Seven fatality accidents in
Anderson County in 1993 have
highlighted roadways in the
county as the deaths show a
significant increase over 1992.
All of the fatalities occurred
in the last five months of the
year, illustrating either bad
weather, animals or inattentive driving as possible causes. A Garnett woman and her
young daughter narrowly
escaped serious injury in a
car accident involving a semitruck. According to the Coffey
County Sheriffs Department

just east of Waverly, when the
car pulled in front of the larger truck. Good news in the
county means a drop in unemployment, the 1.2 percent drop
indicates that the county is in
line with the State of Kansass
figures. This was the lowest
level so far for the year as the
result of fewer people looking
for jobs.
20 years ago…(Nov 18, 2003)
Buyers were on hand for the
Tuesday cattle sale at Anderson
County Sales Company in
a standing room only group.
Following the scare of Mad
Cow disease, trading was lighter than normal, but similar to
the same time period as last
year. The lighter volume of
cattle reflected local cattle producers would likely hold onto
their bovines in lieu of letting
the dust settle in the national
market. Preliminary hearings
have begun for the four suspects in the November 17 burn-

into the region.
A push for housing development was behind the reconstitution of the Garnett Housing
Authority Board last year with
two new appointments thought
to be more amiable toward
expanding local housing developments one of those appointments being Wiehls employer Mike Burns of AuBurn
Pharmacies. Movement in that
direction by ACDA and the
completion of a housing study
yielded recommendations for
local expansion.
Garnett money matters are
also an issue and continually
on the front burner. In 2023
the city looked at increasing
wholesale electrical rates and
started talks with East Kansas
Agri Energy, which may eventually pursue construction of
a small electrical generation
plant at the Garnett ethanol
production facility to produce
not only electricity for the ethanol operation, but also might
take the city on as a power
customer.
Theres also an ongoing
project to expand the Garnett
Industrial Airport which will
utilize primarily federal aviation administration funding,
but will require procuring
additional land around the
facility from private landowners.
After finishing a major
infrastructure project on
Maple Street this fall to provide
better drainage for the floodprone area, city commissioners will doubtless engage more
infrastructure discussions
this year. The citys aging,
Depression-era swimming pool
is a constant worry with every
summers opening, and one
estimated to cost $3 million to
replace. There are also needs in
the citys electrical system, and
a project underway for several
years for a design and replacement of the citys Crystal Lake
water treatment facility, and a
road around Lake Garnett used
by the popular Lake Garnett
Grand Prix Revival which
event enthusiasts say needs
major work to keep the event
flourishing in the community
each fall.
Of course most all of those
projects come down to money
the city will operate on a $15.5
million budget in 2024 in an
environment that sliced $1,000
from local property tax, but
which also saw skyrocketing
property values for local residences under the pressure from
strong housing prices in recent
years. Garnetts local property
valuation shot up 17 percent
from 2022-2023 and another 12
percent last year to a record $32
million for 2024.

Anderson
County
Commissioners hope to have
the original contractor hired
for electrical work for the 2008built Jail rectify the electrical deficiencies. Incorrectly
installed wiring and poorly revised plans during the
construction process led to
numerous issues that surfaced
over the last 6 years. Gordon
Blackie of Lighthouse Electric
showed commissioners worn
and cracked wiring that came
out from conduit in the building. Blackie said that moisture
was seeping into the conduit
and can create issues with
damaged wiring causing sparking. County employees this
year will receive a three percent cost-of-living adjustment
after a split vote by the County
Commissioners. A constant
was brought in to evaluate the
staff and a three and a half percent cost-of-living was suggested.

Winter Weather Warning: AAA urges drivers
to prepare for approaching snow storms
WICHITA With a couple rounds of accumulating snow forecast to impact much of the
Sunflower State over the next several days
late this week and early next week — AAA
Kansas is urging drivers to be prepared for
the conditions and to remain cautious if out
on the roads, while the auto clubs roadside
rescue fleet prepares for a busy period of
assisting drivers.
AAA Kansas anticipates an increase in
emergency roadside service calls as the wintry weather sweeps through and road conditions deteriorate, with slide-offs and crashes
due to slick roads, battery/non-start problems and flat tires the main culprits. Last
winter (Dec. 2022-March 2023), AAA Kansas
Emergency Roadside Service crews assisted
more than 34,000 motorists across the state.
AAA Kansas tips to prepare vehicles for
winter weather
Make certain your tires have good tread
for adequate traction and are properly
inflated. For every 10-degree drop in temperature, tires can lose 1 pound of air pressure.
Have the battery checked by a professional to ensure it is strong enough to face
cold weather. When the air temperature is
32 degrees, a batterys starting power drops
35 percent. Also, the average lifespan of a
car battery is 3-5 years. AAA members can
request a visit from a AAA mobile battery
service technician who will test their battery
and replace it on-site, if necessary.
Keep your gas tank at least half-full to
avoid gas line freeze-up.
Ensure that windshield wiper blades are
in good condition and the wiper fluid reservoir is full. A winter blend of wiper fluid that
resists freezing is recommended.
Make sure all lights (headlights, tail and
brake lights, turn signals) are working properly so you can see and be seen in bad weather conditions.
Hazardous storms and inclement weather
are a factor in an average of nearly half a million crashes and more than 2,200 traffic crash
deaths nationwide every winter, according to
the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. AAA
Kansas is encouraging drivers to have safety
in mind if they must venture out on the wintry roadways.
Ice and snow can cause significant safety
problems by reducing visibility and making it difficult to maneuver or stop, said
Shawn Steward, AAA Kansas spokesman.
Its important for drivers to be cautious
and take it slow if they have to get out on the
roads.
On average, about one-third (32%) of
crashes during the winter occur in adverse
weather or road surface conditions according
to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety..
AAA Kansas tips for driving in snowy and
icy conditions
Stay home. If you really dont have to
go out, dont. Even if you can drive well in
winter conditions, not everyone else can.
Dont tempt fate. Stay home until crews can
properly clear roadways.
Check road conditions. Before you leave,
assess the conditions of roads along your
route. A good source for this is the Kansas
Department of Transportations KanDrive
site, found at http://www.kandrive.gov
Drive slowly. Everything takes longer on
ice- and snow-covered roads. Accelerating,
stopping, turning give yourself time to
maneuver by driving slowly.
Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Apply
the gas slowly to regain traction and avoid
skids. Dont try to get moving in a hurry
and take time to slow down for a stoplight.
Remember: It takes longer to slow down on
icy roads.
Manage a skid. If you lose traction and
begin to spin or skid on snow or ice, dont
slam on the brakes. Steer in the direction you
want the front of the vehicle to go, until your
tires regain traction.
Increase your following distance to eight
to ten seconds. This increased margin of safety will provide the longer distance needed if
you have to stop.
Know your brakes. Whether you have
antilock brakes or not, keep the heel of your
foot on the floor and use the ball of your foot
to apply firm, steady pressure on the brake
pedal.
Dont stop if you can avoid it. Theres
a big difference in the amount of inertia it
takes to start moving from a full stop versus
how much it takes to get moving while still
rolling. If you can slow down enough to keep
rolling until a traffic light changes, do it.
Dont power up hills. Applying extra
gas on snow-covered roads just starts your
wheels spinning. Try to get a little inertia
going before you reach the hill and let that
inertia carry you to the top. As you reach
the crest of the hill, reduce your speed and
proceed downhill slowly.
Dont stop going up a hill. Theres nothing
worse than trying to get moving up a hill on
an icy road. Get some inertia going on a flat
roadway before you take on the hill.
More details are available in AAAs
resource, How to Go on Ice and Snow,
found at https://exchange.aaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/AAA-How-to-Go-IceSnow.pdf.
Far too many drivers become stranded on
the roadside this time of year. Nationwide,
AAA handles an average of 600,000 emergency roadside assistance calls per week in
the winter with the most common problems
being dead batteries, extractions, towing and
flat tires.
Motorists should heed travel warnings
and stay home unless they absolutely must
venture out, AAA Kansas Steward said.
AAA Kansas is reminding anyone who must
drive on icy or snow-covered roads to be prepared for the conditions and to go nowhere
not even a short distance – without a full tank
of gas, a fully charged cell phone (loaded with
the AAA Mobile App or the AAA Roadside
assistance number pre-programmed) and a
fully stocked emergency kit.
AAA Kansas recommendations for winter
emergency kit items to keep in your vehicle
Bag of abrasive materials such as sand,
salt or cat litter for gaining traction in snow/
ice
Snow shovel
Flashlight
Winter coat, hat and gloves or mittens
Ice scraper and snow brush

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 9, 2024
LOCAL
Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition voluntarily recalls certain
nutramigen hypoallergenic powdered infant formula products
The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is
alerting parents, caregivers,
and health care providers
that Reckitt/Mead Johnson
Nutrition has voluntarily
recalled certain Nutramigen
Hypoallergenic Infant Formula
Powder products due to possible Cronobacter sakazakii
contamination. No illnesses
have been reported to date in
connection with this recall, and
it is likely most of the product
that was distributed in the U.S.
has already been consumed.
Consumers
who
have
Nutramigen Hypoallergenic
Infant Formula Powder with
batch codes below should stop
using it and throw it away or
contact Reckitt/Mead Johnson
Nutrition for a refund:
ZL3FHG (12.6 oz cans)
ZL3FMH (12.6 oz cans)
ZL3FPE (12.6 oz cans)
ZL3FQD (12.6 oz cans)
ZL3FRW (19.8 oz cans)
ZL3FXJ (12.6 oz cans)
The products have a UPC
Code of 300871239418 or
300871239456 and Use By Date
of 1 Jan 2025.
Additional Recall Information
Nutramigen is a hypoallergenic infant formula that is
used by infants with allergies
to cows milk. Although this
product is a specialty infant
formula, there are substitute
infant formulas available. If the
infant formula your child uses
is unavailable, parents and
caregivers should work with
their childs health care provider to find a suitable substitute.
The FDA does not expect that
this recall will have a major
impact on the U.S. supply and
availability of powdered infant
formulas, and the agency has
been in communication with
other manufacturers to request
their assistance in ensuring a
robust supply of hypoallergenic product.
Cronobacter sakazakii is a
pathogen found naturally in
the environment that can enter
manufacturing facilities and
home environments on hands,
shoes, and other contaminated
surfaces. While infant formula firms are required to test a
representative sample of their
product for both Cronobacter
and Salmonella species, this
important verification step
does not guarantee the product is free of Cronobacter.
Cronobacter contamination
can occur at very low-levels
and is not evenly distributed throughout the product,
making it difficult to detect.
Powdered infant formula is not
a sterile product and public
health agencies, including the
FDA, encourage caregivers to
take steps to prepare powdered
infant formula as safely as possible.
The Israeli Ministry of
Health notified the FDA on Dec.
14 that Nutramigen
Hypoallergenic
Powdered Infant
Formula
produced at the Mead
Johnson Nutrition
Zeeland, Michigan,
facility,
and
exported from the
U.S., had initially tested positive
for Cronobacter
species. The product was tested at
the Israeli border
during
routine
sampling. The FDA
did not have sufficient information based on this
initial test alone to warrant a
product action and immediately took additional investigative steps.In consultation
with the FDA, Israel initiated whole genome sequencing
(WGS) on the sample obtained
from the infant formula to
confirm the initial findings
of Cronobacter species and to
determine whether the isolate
was Cronobacter sakazakii.
The FDA immediately commenced a for-cause inspection at Reckitt/Mead Johnson
Nutritions Zeeland facility on
Dec. 18 that included collecting
environmental samples as well
as testing additional samples of
finished product from the same
batch of Nutramigen infant formula powder tested by Israel.
While the FDAs inspection is
ongoing, all testing conducted
to date by the FDA and Reckitt/
Mead Johnson Nutrition has
been negative for Cronobacter.
On Dec. 28, the FDA received
the WGS results from Israeli
health officials, which confirmed a finding of Cronobacter
sakazakii. The FDA immedi-
ately contacted Mead Johnson
Nutrition and recommended a
recall.
On Dec. 29, Reckitt/Mead
Johnson Nutrition agreed to
initiate a voluntary recall of
675,030 cans of Nutramigen
powdered
infant
formula distributed to the United
States. Reckitt/Mead Johnson
Nutrition manufactured additional products during this
finished product campaign and
distributed them outside of the
U.S. Reckitt/Mead Johnson
Nutrition will be contacting the
regulatory authorities in each
of those countries to determine
the proper disposition of those
products.
The FDA has taken numerous steps to enhance the safety of powdered infant formula
through the development of a
Cronobacter prevention strategy, enhanced inspectional
activities, increased engagement with the infant formula
industry, and by pursuing regulatory action when appropriate. The agency also sent a letter to manufacturers, packers,
distributors, exporters, importers, and retailers involved in
the manufacturing and distribution of powdered infant formula to share current safety
information and call on the
industry to take prompt action
to improve processes and programs for the protection of our
most vulnerable population.
The agency remains committed to helping ensure an
adequate supply of infant formula and giving consumers the
utmost confidence that infant
formula available in the U.S. is
safe and nutritious.
December meeting
Cherry Mound 4H Club
The Monthly meeting of the
Cherry Mound 4H Club was
called to order on December
10 at 6 p.m. by President Huck
Young.
Roll call was what is your
favorite Christmas Carol. This
was answered by 5 members
and 2 leaders. The song was
by Myan Martin, the club
sang Rudolph the Red Nosed
Reindeer. Last months meeting minutes were by read
Chance Witherspoon and
approved. Reporter Chance
Witherspoon said the reports
were sent to the paper to be
printed. Treasurer report was
given by Reagan Witherspoon.
She reported the club had a balance of $3004.98 in the account
and that we did have a bill for
sending memorial flowers and
a sandstone rock to the Corley
Family in memory of Grant.
The leaders report was
announcing the theme to the
fair this year which is Stars,
Stripes, and Anderson County
Fair Nights. No council news.
The program was turned over
to Hank Newton. Program talk
was from Huck Young on how
to treat a goat when its born
and cant stand. Hank Newton
read next months agenda and
recreation was 4 Corners and
putting baskets together for the
nursing homes. Refreshments
were by the Young Family.
Next meeting is January 7,
2024.
SLYTER…

been readily available for the
delay.
Slyter, 60 of Garnett, was
arraigned in August on seven of
nine initial felony theft charges
in connection with the incidents, after District Magistrate
Judge Kevin Kimball threw
out two counts due to lack of
establishment of prior location
of two stolen items. Officers
recovered numerous pieces of
stolen equipment at Slyters
farm and at his brother Greg
Slyters property in November
2019. Local law enforcement
spent the next two years investigating the case and tracking
down owners of the various
equipment, some of which had
altered vehicle identification
numbers and other identifying marks. Slyter was finally
charged in May 2022.
Anderson County Attorney
Elizabeth Oliver called some 30
witnesses to testify concerning
the stolen equipment.
Local courts have been
struggling since October with
daily operations since a computer hack compromised the
system that services all but
one Kansas county, resulting
in court filings having to go
from digital back to hard copy
and preventing public access
to court records via the former
online portal.

Cattle Chat: Managing cattle grazing cornstalks
By Lisa Moser, K-State Research
and Extension news service
MANHATTAN Many know
the key to good health is eating a balanced diet, and in the
case of cattle grazing cornstalks, their diet may need to
be adjusted as the quality of the
forage deteriorates, according
to the experts at the Kansas
State University Beef Cattle
Institute.
Speaking on a recent Cattle
Chat podcast, K-State beef
cattle nutritionist Phillip
Lancaster encouraged producers to walk the fields periodically to assess the quality of the
feed resource.
When producers first turn
out cattle on cornstalks, they
should take note of the amount
of leaves and husks available to
the cattle to graze and then as
the season goes on, they should
continue to walk the fields to
assess the quality of that feed
resource and adjust accordingly, he said.
Lancaster said that if there
is too much moisture in the
field, the cornstalks will turn
black on the ends and the cattle
will appear more hungry.
Cattle that are hungry will
be reaching through the fence,
Lancaster said.
Eventually, they will lose
a body condition score, but
Lancaster said that typically
will take 1-2 months before it is
noticeable to the producer.
To keep that from happening, Lancaster said the cattle
need to be supplemented with
protein when they are first
turned out to graze the cornstalks. As the amount of corn
residue declines, the herd may
need additional supplementation.
If the cornstalks are deteriorating, my next step is to start
supplementing the cattle with
hay, Lancaster said. The key
is to move the hay to different
locations in the field by either
rolling out the bales or moving
where the bale is placed to keep
the cattle from creating a spot
that will have a lower yield
because the ground is compacted.
He also urged producers to
watch the amount of moisture
the field is absorbing.
If the cattle are sinking in
2-4 inches into the ground then
producers should move the cattle to a dry lot, Lancaster said.
For those who are feeding
supplemental hay, K-State veterinarian Bob Larson said it is
important to know the quality
of the hay they are offering the
cattle.
There is a lot of variation
in hay quality so it is important to assess the quality of the
hay as a feed resource, Larson
said. Hay that is harvested
late in the season will not be as
high in quality as hay that is
cut earlier in the summer.
He said if the hay fed to the
herd was grown by the producer, they would likely have a
good idea about the hay quali-
ty. But if the hay is purchased,
it might be beneficial to conduct a forage test before feeding it to the herd.
Lancaster agreed with the
forage test recommendation.
He also said cattle will consume hay until they are full
whether or not the hay is high
quality, so it is important to
take a look at the manure as
well.
If a producer notices
manure piles that are dry and
piled high, that is an indication
that the cattle may not be getting enough nutrients from the
hay and more protein should
be added to the diet to help
them better digest that hay,
Lancaster said.
impact of higher prices on
those shopping tapes. While
the CPI shows a statistical
increase of 19 percent for groceries between May 2020 and
August 2023, shoppers surveyed last summer by the New
York Times found some estimated their grocery bills had
jumped between 42 and 66 percent, accounting for different
items purchased by different
shoppers.
Anecdotal
comparisons
abound among about every grocery shopper. One local shopper notes her favorite store
sold individual serving packs
of tuna for $1 pre-Covid; and
that price is now $1.65.
Whats not known but broadly recognized is the additional
revenue in every state thats
been generated by the flat percentage sales taxes as theyve
been applied to rapidly escalating prices of goods over the past
two years. Kansas collected
$291 million more in sales tax
in 2022 than in 2021. Average
monthly state sales tax collections in 2022 were some $287
million per month. That figure
averaged $282 million through
the first 9 months of 2023, the
latest figures compiled, which
does not yet include the holiday
retail season.

After a slow start, Lady Bulldogs rout Wellsville
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WELLSVILLE – It took a quarter to shake off the rust of
the holiday break, but once
the Anderson County Lady
Bulldogs got things into gear
they pulled away for a dominant 56-31 on the road last
Friday at Wellsville.
After a sluggish first quarter, the AC girls faced an 11-9
deficit which they quickly
erased with a 18-4 advantage
in the second quarter to take a
27-15 lead into halftime.
Coming out of the intermission, the Bulldogs continued to
play well with a 14-9 advantage
in the third quarter and closed
it out with a 15-7 advantage
over the final 8 minutes.
AC connected on half (18-36)
of their two points attempts
and was 4-11 from 3 point range
in the game while limiting
Wellsville to 20% (4-26) on 2
point attempts and 5 of 18 (28%)
from behind the arc.
As is usually the story,
Anderson County controlled
the paint with a 32-6 advantage inside and outrebounded
Wellsville 43-20.
Caitlyn Foltz led the
Bulldogs with 19 points and 14
rebounds.
Sommer chipped in with 15
points, 8 rebounds and 3 steals
and Kylie Disbrow tallied a triple double with 12 points, 12
rebounds and 10 blocks.

MOUND CITY – It was a solid
way to kick off the new year
as last Tuesday the Crest boys
knocked off Jayhawk-Linn on
the road, 48-36.
Jayhawk-Linn struggled
offensively in the first half, particularly in the first quarter as
they fell behind 9-5 after the
opening 8 minutes and 18-13 at
intermission.
They were much better
offensively in the second half,
but so was Crest. The Lancers
held a 17-13 advantage in the
third quarter, which was just
shy of the entire first half production for both teams.
The Lancers closed out the
game with a 13-10 advantage in
the fourth.
Ryan Golden had the hot
hand with 26 points and 7
rebounds on the night.
Gentry McGhee added 9
points to go along with 5 steals,

first period. Crest cut that deficit in half in the second quar-
ter, heading into intermission
trailing 17-16.
It would be the Jets to have
the advantage in the third
quarter, albeit slightly, by outscoring Crest 8-6 to put them up
25-22 heading into the fourth.

best quarter of the night in
the fourth as the Lancers were
outscored 14-13.

in scoring with 21 points and
also pulled down 18 rebounds,
had 5 steals and 3 blocks.

from the field shooting just
26% (12-47) and only connected
on 9 of their 18 free throws
(50%).
