Crime down statewide, Allen County still leads region
TOPEKA a Kansas Bureau of
Investigation annual crime report
shows crime dropped statewide in
2024 compared to 2023, but the statistics reflect Allen County still
with the highest crime incidents
in the six-county area of East
Central Kansas.
The Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) defines index
crimes as murder, rape, robbery,
aggravated assault/battery, burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft,
and arson. The 2024 Kansas Crime
Index Report indicated that violent crime in Kansas decreased
by 6.7% from 2023. A total of
12,643 crimes were reported for
the offenses of murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault and
battery. With this decline, violent
crime in the state was equal to the
10-year average.
Property crime was also down
over the year. Overall property
crimes decreased 12.9% from 2023.
In 2024, there were 43,636 theft
offenses, which accounted for 75%
of total property crimes reported.
There were 14,525 burglary and
motor vehicle thefts, representing
the remaining 25% of property
crimes. Property crimes nationwide are assumed to be underreported to law enforcement.
While those numbers also
declined in Kansas leading
crime jurisdiction of Wyandotte
County, it still led with an average of 10.4 violent crimes per
thousand residents and 36.5
per thousand property crimes
reported. Wyandottes total index
crimes however declined from
64.5 per 1,000 to 46.8 in the year
just passed.
Allen County logged 193
indexed crimes with 12,494 residents for a per thousand index of
15.4. It showed 40 violent crimes
24 at 3.2 per 1000, and 153 property
crimes for a per thousand rate of
12.2. But overall index crimes in
Allen County were down nearly
100 incidents from 2023.
Anderson County logged 72
index crimes for a 9.1 per thousand resident showing, with 13
violent crimes (1.6/1,000) and 176
property crimes (1.0).
Linn County showed an index
crime rate of 9.1 per thousand,
although its data was incomplete
since the police departments in
Mound City and LaCygne did
not provide information. Coffey
County was 8.3, Miami County
9.5, and Franklin County 11.1.
Data gathering and study specifics
In 2024, there were 58,161
property crimes and 12,643 violent crimes submitted by Kansas
law enforcement agencies to the
Kansas Bureau of Investigation
(KBI). Total index crimes
decreased 16.7% from the 10-year
average. The total index crimes
were heavily impacted by the
total property index crimes due
to the number of property crimes
reported compared to violent
crimes.
Crime Index Rate: The crime
index rate is the number of all
index crimes per 1,000 people.
This decreased from 27.0 offenses
per 1,000 people in 2023, to 23.3 in
2024. The 2024 total was the lowest

Davids ignores tax hike
consequences of nay vote on
Trumps One Big, Beautiful Bill
Massive income tax
increase would have
hit nearly all Americans
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WASHINGTON, D.C. Once
again voting in partisan lockstep with her side of the aisle
in the U.S. Congress, Kansas
3rd District Congresswoman
Sharice Davids joined with
Democrats in a final failed
attempt to thwart President
Trumps Big, Beautiful Bill
last week a move which
would have set in motion the
largest income tax increase
on American taxpayers since
the beginning of the federal
income tax.
The bill passed 218 to 214
with each House Democrat
voting against. Trump signed
the bill into law while celebrating the July 4 holiday
with military families at the
White House on Saturday.
Even Democrat analysts
conceded the expiration of the
2017 Trump tax cuts which
remained in effect through
the Biden Administration but
which would have expired
this year would have been
devestating to most all those
who pay income tax.
Hardest hit among Davids
district would have been
higher earners in Johnson
County, where the sole
Democrat in the Kansas congressional delegation enjoys
winning margins that have
won four back-to-back elections for her since 2018.
As the highest income county
in Kansas, Johnson County
taxpayers would have felt
massive impacts from the
expiration of the Trump tax
exemptions theyve enjoyed
for the past eight years and
which would have expired
six months
from now.
1.
Higher
Individual
Income Tax
Rates
The Tax
Cuts and
Jobs
Act
Davids reduced tax
rates across
brackets.
Expiration would revert rates
to pre-2017 levels, meaning:
The 12% bracket would jump
to 15%
The 22% bracket would rise
to 25%
The 24% bracket would rise
to 28%
Higher brackets would also
revert upwards
As an affluent county with
median household income
~$99,000 (2022 ACS), many
JOCO earners fall in the 22%24% brackets, so their federal
tax bills would increase materially.
2. Reduced Standard Deduction
The TCJA nearly doubled
the standard deduction:
Single: $12,000
$6,350
(pre-TCJA)
Married filing jointly: $24,000
$12,700 (pre-TCJA)
Many who used the standard deduction would have
Emma Huskey Tattershall and Libby Huskey sang the National Anthem to kick off the parade at Saturdays revived

for Saturdays festivities (see additional photos on page 7).

County takes over subsidized
local transportation service
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Anderson
County took formal control
of its public transportation
service this month from the
appointed board that previously ran it, saying the
services operation wont
change.
County
clerk
Julie
Wettstein said the public
buses run by the county
transportation system, operated in conjunction with the
East Central Kansas Area
Agency on Aging, became an
official county operation July
1st. The service, which operates on a demand response
(on call) basis since there is
no fixed-route bus service
available in the county, is
funded by a combination of
federal transit grants, KDOT
public transit funding rider
fares and an annual allocation from the county budget.
The county budgeted
$73,636 for public transportation this year.
The service provides low
cost on demand transportation to the elderly, disabled
in general public within
Anderson County, from 9
a.m.-4 p.m. MondayFriday,
with local in town rides $3 a
trip, inside the county $7 a
trip and out-of-county trips at
$10.
Jerry and Carolyn Smith
WESTPHALIA Longtime
rural Coffey County resident
Jerry Smith was recognized
Saturday morning for more
than three decades of dedicated service to the Westphalia
Lions Club, just before he
and his wife Carolyn led the
Westphalia Days parade as
grand marshals.
Smith, who has been a member of the Lions for 38 years,
served 35 of those years as the
clubs secretary-treasurer. He
was praised for his leadership
and tireless support of numerous community initiatives,
including vision screenings,
trunk or treats, Easter egg
hunts, scholarship programs,
veterans memorial projects,
and the collection of used eyeglasses for those in need.

school athletic association and the
Department of Education. Twelve
of the top 25 retired from cities,
counties, and other local government service; the rest are state
employees.
State law prohibits KPERS from
releasing names, but its a pretty
safe bet that the first four on the list
are superintendents because they
are the highest paid. Pensions are

WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
What does it mean to be
the people of God? Israel
Gods chosen people
spent 40 years in the wilderness agreeing to and
breaking covenant with
God. They were driven
more by their thirst and
taste for the food of Egypt
than by a changed heat.
In 2 Kings we read the
account of Hilkiah the
priest cleaning the temple
and he finds the Book of
the Law. Not only had they
lost the Book of the Law
they didnt even know it
was lost. Upon hearing the
book read, Josiah realized
that the nation had not
been following the laws and
initiated a period of reform.
The book revealed that
the nations misfortunes
were a consequence of
their failure to adhere to
the Lords covenant. As
educated people we will say
that could never happen
to us. We have been in a
period of moral decline for
so long we have failed to
recognize the impact of the
removal of prayer from government agencies, schools,
corporate board rooms and
in public in general.
In many instances the
church has softened its
stance, prohibiting mention of essential New
Testament biblical concepts. If this trend is not
reversed we will find ourselves like Josiah wondering how we could wander
so far off the path. When
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
you lose your moral compass strange things happen.
You start interpreting right
and wrong not enforcing it.
Then the outcomes are dictated by power and money.
God warns us about this
in Amos 8:11-12 when he
says. The days are coming declares the sovereign
LORD, When I will send
a famine through the landnot a famine of food or a
thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words
of the LORD. Men will
stagger from sea to sea and
wander from north to east,
searching for the word of
the LORD, but they will not
find it.
I fear that describes
many people today, desperately searching for something, not even knowing
what they are searching
for. So what can you and
I do to help this situation?
We have to be faithful to the
truth we know. Dont let go
of it.
Ministry on the
Holiness of God.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, July 10, 2025
Eat the poor and pass the butter
On que, the celebrating, happy faces of
Republicans taking their victory lap last
weekend lit the fuse for the ever-so-expected rending of garments and gnashing
of teeth from Democrats, who claim the
One Big Beautiful Bills real intent is
to put wheels under 18th century writer
Johnathan Swifts A Modest Proposal.
It was Swifts tongue-in cheek-suggestion in his 1729 essay, as you will recall
from your high school literature class,
that poor people in Ireland simply sell
their offspring to the rich as food, since
there was an abundant supply of them and
the impoverished Irish were hard up for
cash. It was pointed criticism of the indifference of the British government and the
wealthy class toward the suffering of the
Irish people, intended to point out the cruelty of the economic and social conditions
in Ireland during the 1700s.
And Democrats are all in on the gist of
Swifts rhetorical wailing, albeit with less
pointed wit and more straight up lying.
To hear them tell it, the poor in the United
States with their cell phones and color
TVs and life-threatening rates of obesity
have never had it so bad as theyre going
to have it under H.R. 1.
The same general jive blew all the way
to the plains of Kansas, where Governor
Laura Kelly herself decried a 1.5 percent across the board cut in Kansas government agency budgets that took effect
July 1, approved in the latest legislative
session by Republicans who control the
statehouse and senate. Why, with such
assaults against the poor, the elderly and
the disabled both nationwide and in the
Sunflower State by mean ole Republicans,
its a wonder there are any poor left at all.
Indeed if Democrats decades long criticism carries any weight, we should be
belt buckle deep in billionaires by now
and poor people should be sparse as hens
teeth.
And indeed, when you survey demographic and income data over the last sev-
eral decades in the United States, what you
find is fewer poor people. Poor folks arent
more scarce because theyre being quartered up and eaten by us wealthy white
Trump followers a la Hannibal Lector,
with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Instead the poor are being transformed by
an overall burgeoning U.S. economy, driven by and large by conservative financial
policies and initatives.
The truth that Democrats dont
want you to Google on your own is that
Americans net worth has increased significantly over the last several decades
due to economic growth, rising home values and stock market gains. Twenty years
ago the Dow Jones Industrials was trading
at 10,000. This week it was trading at over
44,000. Any worker smart enough to take
part in an employer stock plan or private
retirement vehicle has seen his wealth
increase exponentially since then.
Federal Reserve data shows median
household net worth rose by some 37%
from 2016 to 2019, which was the last pre
pandemic full survey, and it continued to
rise for most Americans through 2022 due
to stimulus driven savings and market
growth that unfortunately fueled massive
inflation that began destroying its buying
power.

COMMENTARY
MICHAEL RYAN, THE HEARTLANDER
National Intelligence James Clapper
were all excessively involved in rushing through the fishy assessment trying to taint Trump. And guess what
they relied on heavily: Thats right the
phony Steele dossier.
It was a setup, former CIA director
Mike Pompeo writes of the ICA in his
2023 book Never Give an Inch: Fighting
for the America I Love, pointing the
finger directly at Clapper, Comey and
Brennan but especially Brennan.
The entire process of the ICA was a
political hit job on President Trump, and
it was clear much of it was Brennans
doing.
Now a new CIA report says work on
Obamas anti-Trump ICA hadnt even
started before we saw media leaks suggesting that the Intelligence Community

had already reached definitive conclusions in the matter.
Indeed, journalist Miranda Devine
reports some CIA analysts who would
typically have been part of the [ICAs]
review chain opted out due to the politically charged environment and the atypical prominence of agency leadership in
the process.
In other words, it all came from above,
and those analysts wanted nothing to do
with it.
First create a narrative. Then cook up
phony facts to support it. Thats not an
intelligence operation. Thats a psy-op
thats tailor-made for a coup dtat.
In plainer terms, treason.
How is that not the biggest scandal in
American history?
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
of Architects expressed its strong concerns that mandating architecture styles
stifles innovation and harms local communities.
According to The Nation magazine,
Trumps initiative is part of an agenda to make historical architecture on
the whole inextricable from Eurocentric
white supremacy. In short, its an unforgivable offense to want a government
building to look nice.
Brutalism, with its blocky, minimalist structures made of poured concrete,
was a creation of a post-war Europe that
wanted to embrace the fresh and new and
to economize on rebuilding. Although
the name brutalism perfectly captures
the aesthetic effect, it actually comes
from the French for raw concrete,
beton brut.
To be sure, concrete is extremely
important to modern life, but no one
has ever said, Oh, its so elegant and
uplifting. The brutalist buildings in
Washington were largely built between

With cynical, sinister shepherds such

Democrats have been led far astray from
the partys greener pastures of yore.
Shockingly, Gallup reports a measly 36%

Blow up Washington, D.C.s brutalist buildings now
Theres a reason God created dynamite. The brutalist federal buildings
that have blighted Washington, D.C.,
for decades deserve the same fate as
Carthage after the Third Punic War, and
the nations capital is finally beginning
to move on from these concrete monstrosities.
The Department of Housing and Urban
and Development just announced that it
is leaving its god-awful headquarters in
Washington for a less hideous space in
Northern Virginia. HUD Secretary Scott
Turner has described the structure as
the ugliest building in D.C., which is
a dubious claim only because there are
so many other buildings in Washington
that compete for that distinction. Hes
not the first HUD secretary to hate the
building. Jack Kemp called it 10 floors
of basement.
Meanwhile, the FBI is also departing
its HQ, designated by the U.K. building
materials retailer Buildworld as the ugliest building in the United States and the
second ugliest in the world.
The moves are in keeping with the
spirit of President Trumps executive
order stipulating that federal buildings
should respect regional, traditional and
classical architectural heritage in order
to uplift and beautify public spaces and
ennoble the United States and our system
of self-government.
That EO should be considered common sense, but has several trigger words
for defenders of the architectural status
quo, including traditional, classical
and, perhaps foremost of all, beautify. In response, the American Institute

Its vital you know what happened to the Democrat Party
Despite radio silence on it from the legacy media, its never been more urgent
for Americans to understand: What on
Earth has happened to the left and the
once-great Democrat Party?
Its leaders have pursued patently
anti-democratic, arguably treasonous
backroom machinations, while their
followers have adopted an increasingly
dark and dismal view of America.
To wit:
Democrat Party leaders and functionaries funded and fulfilled a scheme
to frame candidate-turned President
Trump as a Russian asset in the 2016
campaign and beyond. The Hillary
Clinton campaign and Democratic
National Committee were actually fined
for lying about financing the concocted
and debunked Steele dossier that was
cynically used to launch the hoax and to
justify unprecedented spying on a presidential candidate.
Newly revealed documents show that
just before leaving office, Barack Obama
ordered up a highly suspect Intelligence
Community Assessment (ICA) that
seems to be specifically written to bolster
the Democrats Trump-Russia collusion
false narrative.
Obamas rabidly partisan team
of CIA Director John Brennan, FBI
Director James Comey and Director of
fireworks stands. Why doesnt somebody
do something to get rid of all this junk
around town?
the late 1960s and mid-1970s, an era of
grievous architectural mistakes, including cookie-cutter multiple-purpose baseball stadiums and modernist Catholic
churches. The buildings never had a
heyday, but were hated when they were
erected and are still hated now.
The seedbed of the trend was a
Kennedy administration commission
that advocated contemporary designs
and said — laughably, in retrospect — that
federal architecture should reflect the
dignity, enterprise, vigor and stability of
the American national government.
Instead, the brutalist buildings speak
of a lumbering bureaucracy with no
regard for the sensibilities or priorities
of ordinary people. They are about what
youd expect if a DMV were headquartered in a maximum-security prison or
in a massive pillbox.
The buildings could easily be used
as stage sets for docudramas about East
Germany. They are a tribute to soulless
monumentality and a gut punch to the
human spirit. If they dont eventually
get a well-deserved appointment with a
wrecking ball, they should be donated to
North Korea.
The original justifications of brutalism no longer apply. The buildings
arent new anymore, and arent cheap.
They havent aged well in any sense, not
aesthetically or functionally. The FBI
building is literally falling apart, and the
expense of maintaining the HUD building has become ruinous.

night last, about 12 oclock
an unusual noise was
heard in the St. James
stable. A few weeks ago,
a horse was stolen from
the same stable and the
proprietors are on the qui
vive. Joe Coburn went
to the stable to investigate the noise. In going
through or around the stable he jumped a concealed
man who immediately cut
and run. Joe had a revolver and did not stand on the
order of his shooting but
shot at once. He claims to
have emptied five chambers of his revolver at the
supposed thief but missed
him and the thief missed
the horse.

July 14 – A new electric sign has recently been
erected in front of the
Y.M.C.A. building. This
sign came near causing a
bad fire last Friday night.
It seems the wiring that
connects the lights was left
to hang down against the
framework. It soon caught
on fire and the flame was
shooting up three or four
feet when discovered. By
the timely use of a hand
grenade the building was
saved, and only slight
damage was done. Again,
we arise to remark that
more of these hand grenades should be distributed at various parts of
town. Three or four at
each of the principal street
corners.

a large crowd attended
the dance at the platform

July 14 – Garnett City
Police officers have arrested a number of persons
lately who have been racing their cars in the City of
Garnett. Names are being
withheld though fines
have been imposed on several defendants. The City
Police state that additional arrests will be made and
fines imposed for future
races in Garnett. Racing is
dangerous to pedestrians
and drivers alike and it is
with the purposed of preventing a tragedy that the
Police are enforcing the
restriction against racing.

4. State and Local Tax
(SALT) Deduction Cap
TCJA capped SALT deductions at $10,000.
Expiration
would
remove this cap, allowing
full deduction of Kansas
income taxes and high
Johnson County property
taxes for itemizers.
This would have been
beneficial for high-income
homeowners paying large
property taxes in Overland
Park, Leawood, Prairie
Village, etc.
5. Child Tax Credit
Reduction
The TCJA doubled the
Child Tax Credit ($1,000
$2,000) and raised phaseout
thresholds.
Expiration would cut
the credit in half and
reduce eligibility for many
upper-middle-income
households in Johnson
County
6. Alternative Minimum
Tax (AMT) Changes
TCJA reduced AMT exposure significantly.
Expiration would revert
AMT exemption amounts,
potentially impacting higher earners in the county.
For most upper-middle
to high earners in Johnson
County, total federal
tax liability would have
increased, despite SALT
cap removal, due to higher
marginal rates and lower
standard deduction.
Davids statement in
response to her partys failure ignored the financial
ramifications for taxpayers
in the golden egg of her
district, falling back onto
the same unsubstantiated
Democrat talking points
they pressed when the
House originally passed the
bill on to the Senate in May.
Simply put, President
Trumps extreme budget
hurts everyone who isnt
already a billionaire, she
said. The congresswoman also said she remained
committed to a commonsense, bipartisan path forward for Americans.
Touted as the single bill
that wraps up president
Trumps policy agenda for
his entire second term,
tax policy including tax
deductions for overtime
wages and tips, auto loans
and others was the central
facet of the bill, and of the
Presidents plan for reinvigorating the economy in
order to pay off the nations
staggering $36 trillion debt.
Critics say it will add $5
trillion to the debt over 10
years, but proponents say
those figures dont include
the economic paybacks.
The bill also commits
$300 billion to national
defense and border security. It attacks waste, fraud
and abuse in Medicaid and
Medicare while preserving benefits for the needy,
adds work requirements to
SNAP benefits, does away
with green energy credits
which are widely viewed
as costly giveaways which
have pock-marked rural
areas in Kansas with industrial wind farms.

to choose between itemizing again or accepting a far
smaller deduction, which
would increase their taxable income.
Two facets of the pre-2017
tax code had their advantages however. The return
of personal exemptions and
removal of the cap on state
and local tax exemptions
(SALT) would have provided benefits, though not
enough to make up for the
accompanying tax hikes.
3. Return of Personal
Exemptions
TCJA eliminated personal exemptions but offset
it with a higher standard
deduction.
The repeal would have
reinstated
exemptions
(~$4,050 per taxpayer and
dependent in 2017), partially offsetting tax increases
for families with dependents. The Federal Reserve
Bank of Kansas City says
34.6 percent of JOCO households have children under
CRIME…
FROM PAGE 1
Violent Crime Index
Rate: The violent crime
index rate was equal to
the 10-year average, but
decreased 6.7% from 2023.
In 2024, the violent crime
index rate for Kansas was
4.2 offenses per 1,000 people.
These include: murder,
rape, robbery and aggravated assault/battery.
Property Crime Index:
The property crime index
rate was 21.3% below the
10-year average. In 2024,
the property index crime
rate was 19.2 offenses per
1,000 people. These offens-
es include: burglary, theft,
motor vehicle theft, and
arson.
In 2024, total property
crimes decreased 12.9%
from 2023. In 2024, there
were 43,636 theft offenses,
which accounted for 75%
of total property crimes
reported. There were 14,525
burglary and motor vehicle
thefts, which accounted for
the remaining 25% of the
property crimes reported.
Murder: There were 117
murders reported in 2024,
which was 24.0% below the
10-year average, and 25.5%
less than 2023.

in Colony that were made

to Marvelle Harris.) One
of the quilts was shades of
blue, the other shades of

Brenda Futrell showed
a red, white and blue patriotic quilt and a quilt she
called an Ugly Curtain
quilt, made from kits of fabrics contained in tins she
bought at an auction. And
she showed another 3-yard

She is well on her way to
making all of the patterns

How to protect your
home from wasps
MANHATTAN A common problem many homeowners encounter is wasps
taking up residence outside their homes. Kansas
State University entomologist Raymond Cloyd says,
however, not all wasps are
harmful.
Wasps are beneficial
and they are part of the ecosystem, Cloyd said. They
are predators of many caterpillar pests and are docile
overall. They will usually
only sting if disturbed or
agitated.
Mud daubers and paper
wasps are commonly seen
around homes and will generally not attack people.
However, yellow jackets
will actually attack people.
Despite the beneficial
role of wasps, many people
may want to remove wasp
nests to avoid the possibility of getting stung when
outdoors. When considering removing wasp nests,
Cloyd advises determining
whether the nest is new or
mature.
If the home has a history of wasps building nests,
such as in late spring or
early summer, physically
remove the nest when you
see the nest being initially
built, Cloyd said.
New nests can be
removed with minimal
risk of being stung because
there are usually fewer
wasps present inside the
new nest. Wasps generally
do not rebuild nests in the
same location, so physically removing the nest will
avoid having to deal with
nests in the future.
Spraying nests with an
insecticide should be done
at night when the wasps are
inside the nest, Cloyd said.
If the nest is large,
mature, and has been
around for some time,
Cloyd recommends contacting a pest management professional.

Defenders of the brutalist
buildings say that they are
now part of our heritage
and should be preserved
as such. Thats not fair,
though, to the people who
have to work in them, or
who walk or drive by them
every day. They are a net
subtraction to the D.C.
landscape and to human
happiness. If one of them
has to be kept for historical reasons, it should be
made into a Smithsonian
museum devoted to idiotic
fads that were indulged for
much too long.
Rich Lowry is editor of
the National Review.

they
would
prefer
China win in a trade
war with the United
States. (But its only that
close because 38% of
Democrats said theyre
not sure which country
theyre rooting for.)
And in New York,
Democrats just nominated an openly socialist mayoral candidate
who, by his own words
and actions, exhibits the
identifying marks of a
Marxist.
Meanwhile, as put by
the New York Post, a new
report this week shows
the Biden FBI blocked
an investigation into an
alleged Chinese effort
to meddle in the 2020
election to help former
President Joe Biden
because it would have
made
then-Director
Christopher Wray look
bad, documents released
by the bureau show.
HICKS…
A source, writes
the Post, told the
FBI in August 2020
that the Chinese government had produced a
large amount of fraudulent US drivers licenses using data collected
from millions of TikTok
accounts that would
allow tens of thousands
of Chinese students
and immigrants sympathetic to the Chinese
Communist Party to
vote for US Presidential
Candidate Joe Biden,
despite not being eligible to vote in the United
States.
Information about the
alleged plot was circulated in a Sept. 25, 2020, FBI
Intelligence Information
Report (IIR) one day
after Wray testified
to Congress that the
bureau was unaware of
any coordinated national voter fraud effort
and recalled minutes
after it was issued.
All along, Democrat
leaders and operatives
have been outrageously
denigrating ICE agents
dutifully enforcing longstanding immigration
laws, while their misguided followers fight
the feds in the streets
and in the courts.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal,
D-Washington, actually
posted that ICE is a terrorist force.
The self-proclaimed
party of democracy has
mounted relentless and
varied efforts to deny voters the government they
voted for in November
suing to block nearly every policy and, on
Thursday, needlessly filibustering near-certain
House passage of the bill
embodying the bulk of
the peoples will.
This is not democracy. And this is not a
party that is, in any way,
democratic.
FROM PAGE 4
Its true that those who have
been rewarded most from these
decades of economic surge
have been those who already
had money. Thats been true for
every society throughout history. People with money invest
it for a return, which doesnt
always follow. But never until
the U.S. economy have so many
poor people had the opportunity
to earn and save amounts of
money that literally lifted them
into the middle class, or from
the middle class to beyond.
The reality is modern
Democrats dont know how to
pursue an agenda that doesnt
focus on the growth of government and social identity
inclusion as the tip of its spear.
Republicans led by Trump are
incentivizing the private sector
and keeping score in earnings.
That Big, Beautiful Bill is going
to provide even more of the same
opportunity for Americans who
work for a living.
In the classic economic comparison between Guns and
Butter, Trumps GOP is telling
government to handle the guns
and American enterprise will
pass the butter.###
Kansas wheat harvest
Battle begins to save sweet corn from earworm
off to slow start
By Madeline Drake, K-State
Research and Extension
news service
MANHATTAN Kansas
wheat harvest is underway,
but Kansas State University
wheat production specialist
Romulo Lollato explained
how the wheat harvest got
off to a slow start.
An early USDA report
released June 23 indicated
that only 20% of the Kansas
wheat crop had been harvested, compared to 49% at
the same time last year.
Kansas usually begins
harvest in late May, but this
year things were different,
Lollato said. The first few
reports that were hearing
about were June 9 or so.
Were probably at least 10
days behind.
Since we have started,
there has been a lot of rainfall that slowed down harvest, Lollato said.
While rain may be good
for other crops, it brings
concern for wheat harvesters. Lollato said factors that
could lead to a reduction
in yield might include a
water-logged field, which
is usually a larger concern
during crop development.
There have been reports of
water-logged fields in parts
of central Kansas.
Lollato said grain shattering has been very prevalent this year.
We started seeing really 3 or 4 weeks ago where
some of the glumes (a protective leaf-like structure
that holds the kernel) were
opened up, Lollato said.
Lollato also said there
seems to be an increase
in the incidence of weeds,
noting that any water out
there available will be used
by the weeds.
K-State Research and
Extension news service
MANHATTAN — Many
home gardeners understand a sad truth about the
corn earworm: the little
critter loves sweet corn just
as much as humans do.
It creates a yearly battle to fight back the pesky
insect. The adult corn earworm moth lays eggs on
developing corn silks and
as soon as the eggs hatch,
larval corn earworms go to
work.
Feeding starts at the
tip of the ear and works
down,
said
Kansas
State University horticulture expert Cynthia
Domenghini.
Corn earworms feed
on each other as well as
the corn, so even though
multiple eggs may hatch
on an ear, usually only
one is found in each ear,
Domenghini said.
Protecting sweet corn
from earworms comes with
a couple time-dependent
challenges. As corn silks
continue to grow, any new
silk that is left untreated
can be targeted by earworms. Domenghini recommends applying insecticides every 2-3 days in
order to be effective, especially in early July, when
peak flight of these moths
usually appear, she said.
Additionally, adult earworm moths prefer juicy
silks instead of dry silks, so
insecticide only needs to be
applied the first two weeks
of silking.
Which insecticides are
most effective? For home
gardeners, Domenghini
recommends
Spinosad,
an organic insecticide.
Another organic choice is
mineral oil or other light
horticultural oils.
To treat the corn, fill a
medicine dropper to
full of the oil, then apply
inside the silk end of the
corns ear where the tips
of the silk begin to wilt and
brown. Domenghini said
the oil will kill any earworms present and prevent
more earworms from entering the ear.
However, she said,
take note that applying oil
before the silk has begun to
brown may lead to partially
unfilled ears, as the oil will
interfere with pollination.
Domenghini and her
colleagues in K-States
Department of Horticulture
and Natural Resources produce a weekly Horticulture
Newsletter with tips for
maintaining home landscapes and gardens.
Interested persons can
subscribe to the newsletter,
as well as send their garden
and yard-related questions
to hortsupport@ksu.edu, or
contact your local K-State
Research and Extension
office.

Billings, Speed Elsasser
and Ethan Prasko on percussion. The songs were
"The Old Rugged Cross,"
"How Deep the Fathers
Love For Us" and "In the
Garden."
Darren McGhee thanked
our veterans during communion meditation for
their service and the fact
that we have the freedom to
worship freely in America.

a great price and the empty
tomb is a symbol of what it
cost Christ to free us from
sin. Pastor Chase Riebel's
sermon was "United in
with decades of experience
in growing philanthropic
impact. Steve will share
insights on the evolving landscape of giving
and the vital importance
of long-term investment

generosity can create lasting impact for generations
to come.
This event offers a personal, face-to-face way to
