Warm, muggy temperatures greeted the fireworks show audience at Lake Garnett Saturday for the
annual Liberty Festival, but the show dazzled watchers at the park and other locations in town.
Is it sheer numbers, or
politics delaying Kansas
2023 abortion reporting?
Kellys KDHE holds up
report on years tally
and wont say why
BY DANE HICKS
THE KANSAS INFORMER
TOPEKA In a year with a
record number of fetus killings
and
Kansas
newly established role
as an abortion tourism destination in the
Midwest, the
Sunflower
Schmoe
State may
have logged
so many abortions in 2023
that state officials are delayed
in tallying them.
Two years after the fall of
Roe v. Wade and the remanding of abortion jurisdiction to
the states and away from the
federal government, analysts
say more than a million fetuses were killed nationwide in
2023.
Kansas likely set a record
as well.
If correct, those numbers
are a historic high and the
sheer volume of those deaths
could be one reason why
Kansas Department of Health
and Environment officials
arent releasing preliminary
abortion statistics this spring
as they have since as far back
as 1999.
KDHE told the Topeka
Capital Journal last week that
preliminary annual statistics
on abortion typically released
in the spring would not be
released this year until late
the fall. The full state vital statistics report for 2022 wasnt
released until December 2023,
so any hint on those number
may be six months from now.
Such a delay in 2024 would
put the release of those numbers taking place after the
November general elections,
when all 125 Kansas House
Seats and all 40 Kansas
Senate seats are up for vote.
Democrats statewide are running in those races attempting to break Republicans
veto-proof majority in the
Kansas Legislature, with
the help of funding from
Governor Kellys political
action committee formed last
summer for that specific purpose. Neither Jill Bronaugh,
communications director for
KDHE, nor Grace Hoge, press
secretary for Governor Laura
Kelly, have yet responded
to emails from the Kansas
Informer Friday night as to
any political bearing intended in the delay of those election year statistics.
Some legislators are dubious.
I do find it interesting that
this comes on the heels of us
passing a bill about timely
reporting on this topic from
this agency, said Rebecca
Schmoe,
a
Republican
Representative from the 59th
District. Perhaps it is coincidence. I just know that the
biggest argument against
needing a bill addressing this
was that it was unnecessary

GARDNER Kansas 3rd District
Congresswoman Sharice Davids
celebrated gay PRIDE Month
Sunday as the featured speaker at an event in Gardner that
included a drag show with children in attendance.
Davids posted about her
attendance at the event on her
X (Twitter) account, but deleted
any images or reference to the
drag show segment. The conservative account LibsOfTikTok
however reposted Davids still
photos and included video of
at least two men dancing suggestively and taking tips from
the audience, which appeared
to include at least a half dozen
children under the age of 14.
Davids is seen speaking to the
crowd in one still photo under a
banner reading Thank You To
Our Entertainers.
Davids, who is gay, represents Anderson, Franklin,
Miami, Johnson and parts of
Wyandotte County.

Officers seek phone-busting software for investigations
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Local law officers got the
okay from county commissioners last
week to fund training for a new computer
software designed to defeat increasingly
advanced security measures on phones
and computers used to conceal evidence
in crimes often evidence of child sexual
exploitation in order to better form prosecutions of offenders.
Anderson County Attorney Elizabeth
Oliver and Anderson County Sheriffs
Department Detective Bob Ward met with
county commissioners to request authority to spend $5,000 in existing funds from
a handful of separate sources including
diversion fees, property forfeiture and
prosecutor training funds derived as a
percentage of district court filing fees. The
funds would pay for the second round of
training for Garnett Police Department
officer Daniel Frazier on the digital forensics Cellebrite system, which local officers
have used on a fee basis in the past to
crack phones and computers in executing
search warrants seeking evidence.
The software allows for the digital
unlocking of those devices and analysis of
stored data even in cases in which suspects
have used more advanced encryption software. One testimonial on the Cellebrite
website revealed a sheriffs department
client which accessed some 27,000 encrypted phone contacts and paired relevant
ones with some 14,000 location-related
entries in Google Maps and Apple Maps as
part of their investigation.
Ward told commissioners Cellebrite had
been instrumental in a local child sodomy
case, and that officers were investigating
a grant to fund half the $20,000 purchase
price of the full software package, which
they hoped to make in a followup request
at a later date. The approval of the recent
funding would complete Fraziers second
of Celllebrites three-phase training program, county attorney Oliver said.
Defense to file more motions to
suppress in Slyter proceedings
Prosecution wins
suppression motion
only to face more
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT More courtroom
gymnastics followed the denial of a motion to suppress
evidence by Marvin Slyters
attorney earlier in June,
when Leawood attorney
Thomas Bath moved to suppress evidence seized from all
subsequent search warrants
in the nearly five year-old felony theft of farm equipment
case, setting up yet another
hearing on the new motions
in August.
Baths move came after
Anderson County District
Court Judge Eric Godderz
ruled in favor of county
attorney Elizabeth Olivers
rebuttal to Baths initial
motion, which proposed evidence gained during a search
of Slyters property was
improper. Bath claimed sheriffs office investigator Wes
McClain exceeded the authority of a search warrant when
he surveyed other areas of
Slyters property and found
additional
pieces of
farm equipment that
matched
descriptions of others reported stolen
when
he
Slyter
served the
warrant in
November 2019.
Slyter, 61 of Garnett, was
arraigned in August 2023 after
more than a two-year investigation of theft of numerous
pieces of farm equipment in
a multi-county investigation.
He faces seven of nine initial felony theft charges, after
District Magistrate Judge
Kevin Kimball threw out two
counts due to lack of establishment of prior location of
two stolen items.
A hearing was set August 7
at 10 a.m. for Baths additional motions to suppress.

beliefs, Daniel still trusted God
with all his heart.

is not an answer
In 1 Kings 18 we read the
account of Elijah and Ahab
struggling to get the people
to follow each of their ways.
Elijah wants the people to follow the one true God. In 18:21
we read, Elijah went before
the people and said, How long
will you waver between two
opinions? If the LORD is God,
follow him; but if Baal is God,
follow him. But the people
said nothing.
Baal was a false god and can
be represented in more than
one form. This type of god
provided the people with something they could see and touch.
The one true God was invisible
and seemed distant even far
away. To settle the dispute
Elijah challenged the prophets
of Baal to a contest.
Initially Elijah had taken
the word of God to Ahab three
years prior. Gods word was
there shall be no rain for three
years. Now the Lord instructed Elijah to present himself
before Ahab with the message
that the Lord would provide
rain. Elijah then challenged
the 850 prophets of Baal and
Asheroth to a contest on Mount
Carmel. Each side would offer
sacrifices to their God without
building a fire. The ignition
of the fire was left to the strongest God who would thereby
reveal himself as the one true

God. When Elijahs sacrifice
was consumed by fire the people responded, The LORD–he
is God!
The Bible is replete with
instances of the people of God
falling away, then after a season of failure, related to this
falling away, returning to God.
Today we see people falling
away then returning to God
and the underlying reason is
they lack the commitment necessary to break away from the
world. They feel comfortable
with one foot in the world and
one in the church. Thats the
strategy of our adversary. This
is the feel good approach of the
world. Many people are afraid
to commit to God because the
world has convinced them that
would be truly uncomfortable
and we cherish our comfort.
I go back to Elijahs question, how long will you waver
between two opinions? Saying
nothing is not an answer.

OPINION
Black Thursday brings time of fear
The dumpster fire that was President Joe
Bidens performance in Thursdays presidential
debate was a signal flare to Americas enemies
that now, before a strong and capable president
is elected, is the time to act.
Black Thursday brought a massive admission by even the countrys most vehement
liars and concealers in the Democrat Party, the
White House and the mainstream media to a
truth most of America has long realized that
President Joe Biden is in a failing mental state
and is unable to execute the responsibilities of
the office of president. Though other sources
debate who is actually pulling the strings in the
White House, it is now blatantly clear to the U.S.
and to the world that the elected president is not
capable of leading, and indeed is not in charge.
The effective vacancy in the presidency is
of course the perfect time for U.S. enemies to
expand their dominion in any of various ways
in any of various theaters. This fact was behind
Sunday nights national security alert passed
along by an anonymous source to Fox News.
There is credible intel pointing to an attack
against U.S. bases over the next week or so,

but not a lockdown.
According to the military publication Stars and
Stripes, the new alert applies to all U.S. military facilities and personnel in Europe, including facilities in Germany, Italy, Romanian and
Bulgaria.
It is as though a decapitation strike has
already been successful against the United
States. The military tactic is one used to knock
out the head of command and control, hoping to
leave the rest of an opponents forces vulnerable
in confusion and disarray. It is no position for
the United States, with literally global interests
at play at any one point in time, to find itself.
Such an attack may not come militarily;

modern technology allows a cyberattack to be
mounted instantaneously, rendering administrative functions inert and setting up a scenario of continued vulnerability within which to
approach other targets. There are more than a
few threats.
The FBIs assess that the overall threat from
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is a hybrid
one that involves crime, counterintelligence,
and cybersecurity director Christopher Wray
said in April.
Obvious and ongoing conflicts involving
Russia and terrorist operations by Hamas
against Israel provide cover and distraction
for smaller operations or movement of assets
into position inside or outside the U.S. for tactical operations. The effectively open border, yet
more fruit of Bidens rotten presidential administration, has allowed an unknown number of
potential terrorists into the U.S., as evidenced by
the number caught at the border who had active
profiles on the countrys terror watchlist.
All of them were watching the American president reveal his status of vulnerability in a political debate with a stronger, proven contender
last Thursday night. The American scenario sets
forth another seven months before an official
leadership change in the U.S. could take place.
Thats more than enough time to act.
As the country works through its justified
nervousness at this realization, the simple takeaway is that elections matter that leadership
matters. With its ridiculous self-absorption and
obsession with entitlement, half of American
voters forsook that face in 2020, and now the
nation is in peril.
Black Thursday should have been a wake up
call. It probably wasnt. These are frightening
times. ###

Biden debate reveals true depth, scope of hoax
This was nothing less than the unveiling of
the biggest hoax in American political history.
President Joe Bidens fiery crash and burn
on the CNN presidential debate stage Thursday
night after a week of closeted preparation, no
less is no longer about an election. Its about
whether the most powerful nation on Earth is
being led at least outwardly by the most unfit
leader.
Just as importantly, the question no longer is
whether Joe Biden is competent to be president
of the United States. He isnt. Everybody knows
that now. In fact, the discussion today shouldnt
be whether hes capable of another four years;
the question is whether he should even be at the
helm for the next four months.
Rather, the question is, how long have his
handlers known all this, and precisely what
have they been doing to try to conceal it from the
American public?
And, of course, most important of all: whos
really in charge of this White House?
Those whove been watching closely have
known this all along. What his handlers, his
apparent overseers, have done to the country
what theyve done to Joe Biden is a crime of
historic proportions.
Bidens handlers have kept him cloistered as
much as possible for much of his presidency
as with his 2020 campaign with limited work
hours and engagements on many days, and
carefully controlled access to the press.
Reporters were shooed away from a front

it was announced he would take questions.
At the 2022 White House Easter Egg Roll, a
staffer dressed as a giant Easter Bunny jumped
in and, gesturing urgently, interrupted Bidens
talking to the media about Afghanistan and spirited him safely away from whatever the bunny
thought he might say.
Handlers and even foreign dignitaries have
been leading him off stages, turning him around,
picking him off the ground and shutting down
access constantly for the entirety of his tenure,
but more and more insistently and hastily.
Theyve been claiming lying through their
teeth, we now know that Biden is fine. That
those videos of a bumbling, stumbling, mumbling president whom the special counsel
called a well-meaning, elderly man with a poor
memory are cheap fakes being used deceptively by Republicans to smear him.
The left-wing media which is to say the
media dutifully ran with that lie. Something
called CBS News Confirmed, a purported
fact-checker, did its best to convince you not
to believe your lying eyes. An anchor called
the videos of Biden insidious, saying that
their distribution by The New York Post and
the Republican National Committee another
canard; everyone watching was sharing those
videos lent the videos an air of authenticity.
How Republicans used misleading videos to
attack Biden in a 24-hour period, the admittedly failing Washington Post blared in a disingenuous headline. Such deceptively edited videos,
known as cheap fakes, have become staples of
Republican attacks against the president.
Thats just a couple of examples of how the
state-run media rushed to cover up the presidents debility and decline.
The media have been eager accessories to the
biggest hoax in American political history not
all that long after having fallen like a slippery
rock for the Democrat-concocted Russia hoax,
and accepting creative writing awards for coverage.
Bidens political apologists, who have been
no less fervent in their lying, should be roasted

office should be charred by this searing new

On the other side of the ledger, shes as not an auspicious basis for launching a new
unpopular as Biden and would be saddled with candidate, who, by the way, wont have won any
votes in a primary or caucus.
Getting to a stronger potential candidate
requires bypassing Harris, which involves its
own complications. Is an identity-politics-obsessed party really going to pass over the first
African-American female vice president of the
United States?
Even if it can, an alternative presumably wouldnt be the unanimous choice of a
Democratic convention, creating chaos at an
event typically choreographed to drive the message of a presumptive nominee.
If Democrats can somehow work through
all of this, someone like Gretchen Whitmer
would be a much tougher opponent for Trump
on paper. Shes a young, relatively popular
governor in the key swing state of Michigan.
She wouldnt have to answer directly for any
of Bidens failures and has a history of presenting herself in campaigns as a non-ideological
Democrat. Fix the damn roads was her slogan
when she first ran for governor.
Any somewhat conventional Democrat would
have better odds than Biden against Trump. Itd
be easier for such a candidate to make the race
all about Trump, something Biden wanted to do,
but it is going to be impossible after his catastrophic debate.
The likelihood, though, is that Democrats
wont find a way to push aside Biden. At the end
of the day, by going along with the deceptions
about his mental and physical state and hoping that the public somehow wouldnt notice,
Democrats chose to hire Joe Biden at age 81.
They presumably wont make that mistake
again, but it may well be too late for 2024.

Good job Garnett. After spending all that money
and months and months of construction on the
road project to fix the highway from all that
water well guess what? It didnt work, and all
the other roads have started flooding as well.
Good job.
Have you ever thought that possibly the reason
the Democrats keep Biden in the running is that
they secretly like some of the things Trump is
really truly for and if they keep Biden in there
they wont have as many voting for him as for
Trump? Just a thought. Thank you.
How many more young people have to be
sacrificed for the purpose of expanding the
Democrats future voting base? Dr. Jill, the so
called educator and current Biden campaign
manager, should be held accountable for crimes
against children. She and her party support
abortion, gender reassignment surgery, an open
border and so on. Where are the 85,000 children
illegally trafficked into the U.S.? Are they safe?
I expect to see all you mutton-brained Biden lovers in the Phone Forum this week apologizing

HISTORY
Declaration of Independence – In Congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration
of the thirteen united States of
America,
When in the Course of
human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which
have connected them with
another, and to assume among
the powers of the earth, the
separate and equal station to
which the Laws of Nature and
of Nature's God entitle them,
a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that
they should declare the causes
which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are
created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights, that
among these are Life, Liberty
and the pursuit of Happiness.-That to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted
among Men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the
governed, –That whenever any
Form of Government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is
the Right of the People to alter
or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying
its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them
shall seem most likely to effect
their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate
that Governments long established should not be changed
for light and transient causes;
and accordingly all experience
hath shewn, that mankind are
more disposed to suffer, while
evils are sufferable, than to
right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they
are accustomed. But when a
long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably
the same Object evinces a
design to reduce them under
absolute Despotism, it is their
right, it is their duty, to throw
off such Government, and to
provide new Guards for their
future security.–Such has been
the patient sufferance of these
Colonies; and such is now the
necessity which constrains
them to alter their former
Systems of Government. The
history of the present King of
Great Britain is a history of
repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object
the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to
Laws, the most wholesome and
necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his
Governors to pass Laws of
immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in
their operation till his Assent
should be obtained; and when
so suspended,
he has utterly neglected
to attend to
them.
He
has
refused to pass
other Laws for
the
accommodation of
large districts
of
people,
unless those
people would
relinquish the right of
Representation
in
the
Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to
tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant
from the depository of their
public Records, for the sole
purpose of fatiguing them into
compliance with his measures.
He
has
dissolved
Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly
firmness his invasions on the
rights of the people.
He has refused for a long
time, after such dissolutions,
to cause others to be elected;
whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation,
have returned to the People
at large for their exercise; the
State remaining in the mean
time exposed to all the dangers
of invasion from without, and
convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to
prevent the population of
these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for
Naturalization of Foreigners;
refusing to pass others to
encourage their migrations
hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of
Lands.
He has obstructed the
Administration of Justice, by
refusing his Assent to Laws for
establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the
tenure of their offices, and the
amount and payment of their
salaries.
He has erected a multitude
of New Offices, and sent hither
swarms of Officers to harrass
our people, and eat out their
substance.
He has kept among us, in
times of peace, Standing
Armies without the Consent of
our legislatures.
He has affected to render the
Military independent of and
superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others
to subject us to a jurisdiction
foreign to our constitution, and
unacknowledged by our laws;
giving his Assent to their Acts
of pretended
Legislation:
F
o
r
Quartering
large bodies of
armed troops
among us:
For protecting them, by
a mock Trial,
from
punishment for
any Murders
w h i c h
they should commit on the
Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade
with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us
without our Consent:
For depriving us in many
cases, of the benefits of Trial by
Jury:
For transporting us beyond
Seas to be tried for pretended
offences
For abolishing the free
System of English Laws in a
neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary
government, and enlarging
its Boundaries so as to render
it at once an example and fit
instrument for introducing the
same absolute rule into these
Colonies:
For taking away our
Charters, abolishing our most
valuable Laws, and altering
fundamentally the Forms of
our Governments:
For suspending our own
Legislatures, and declaring
themselves invested with
power to legislate for us in all
cases whatsoever.
He
has
abdicated
Government here, by declaring
us out of his Protection and
waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas,
ravaged our Coasts, burnt our
towns, and destroyed the lives
of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign
Mercenaries to compleat the
works of death, desolation and
tyranny, already begun with
circumstances of Cruelty &
perfidy scarcely paralleled in
the most barbarous ages, and
totally unworthy the Head of a
civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on
the high Seas to bear Arms
against their Country, to
become the executioners of
their friends and Brethren,
or to fall themselves by their
Hands.
He has excited domestic
insurrections amongst us, and
has endeavoured to bring on
the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian
Savages, whose known rule of
warfare, is an undistinguished
destruction of all ages, sexes
and conditions.
In every stage of these
Oppressions
We
have
Petitioned for Redress in
the most humble terms: Our
repeated Petitions have been
answered only by repeated
injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every
act which may define a Tyrant,
is unfit to be the ruler of a free
people.
Nor have We been wanting in
attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them
from time to time of attempts
by their legislature to extend
an unwarrantable jurisdiction
over us. We have reminded
them of the circumstances of
our emigration and settlement
here. We have appealed to their
native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them
by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably
interrupt our connections and
correspondence. They too have
been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We
must, therefore, acquiesce in
the necessity, which denounces
our Separation, and hold them,
as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace
Friends.
We,
therefore,
the
Representatives of the united
States of America, in General
Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of
the world for the rectitude
of our intentions, do, in the
Name, and by Authority of the
good People of these Colonies,
solemnly publish and declare,
That these United Colonies
are, and of Right ought to be
Free and Independent States;
that they are Absolved from
all Allegiance to the British
Crown, and that all political
connection between them and
the State of Great Britain, is
and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and
Independent States, they have
full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances,
establish Commerce, and to
do all other Acts and Things
which Independent States may
of right do. And for the support
of this Declaration, with a firm
reliance on the protection of
divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our
Lives, our Fortunes and our
sacred Honor.

USDA announces June 2024 lending rates for agricultural producers
WASHINGTON The U.S.
Department of Agriculture
(USDA) announced loan interest rates for June 2024, which
are effective June 3, 2024. USDA
Farm Service Agency (FSA)
loans provide important access
to capital to help agricultural
producers start or expand their
farming operation, purchase
equipment and storage structures or meet cash flow needs.
I encourage our lenders
and borrowers alike to work
with our local offices and our
cooperators to capitalize fully
on the existing flexibilities in
these important programs,
said FSA Administrator Zach
Ducheneaux.
Operating, Ownership and
Emergency Loans
FSA offers farm ownership,
operating and emergency
loans with favorable interest
rates and terms to help eligible agricultural producers,
whether
multi-generational, long-time, or new to the
industry, obtain financing
needed to start, expand or
maintain a family agricultural operation. For many loan
options, FSA sets aside funding for underserved producers,
including, beginning, women,
American Indian or Alaskan
Native, Asian, Black or African
American, Native Hawaiian or
Pacific Islander, and Hispanic
farmers and ranchers.
Interest rates for Operating
and Ownership loans for June
2024 are as follows:
Farm Operating Loans
(Direct): 5.375%
Farm Ownership Loans
(Direct): 5.625%
Farm Ownership Loans
(Direct, Joint Financing):
3.625%
Farm Ownership Loans
(Down Payment): 1.625%
Emergency Loan (Amount
of Actual Loss): 3.750%
FSA also offers guaranteed
loans through commercial
lenders at rates set by those
lenders. To access an interactive online, step-by-step guide
through the farm loan process, visit the Loan Assistance
Tool on farmers.gov.
Commodity and Storage
Facility Loans
Additionally, FSA provides
low-interest financing to producers to build or upgrade
on-farm storage facilities and
purchase handling equipment
and loans that provide interim financing to help producers
meet cash flow needs without
having to sell their commodities when market prices are
low.
Funds for these loans
are provided through the
Commodity Credit Corporation
(CCC) and are administered by
FSA.
Commodity Loans (less
than one year disbursed):
6.125%.
Farm Storage Facility
Loans:
Three-year
loan
terms: 4.750%
Five-year loan terms:
4.500%

Sugar Storage Facility
Loans (15 years): 4.750%
Farm Loan Program Process
Improvement
FSA has a significant initiative underway to streamline and automate the Farm
Loan Program customer-facing
business process. For the over
26,000 producers who submit a
direct loan application annually, FSA has made various
improvements, including:
The Online
Loan
Application, an interactive,
guided application that is
paperless and provides helpful
features, including an electronic signature option, the ability to attach supporting documents, such as tax returns,
complete a balance sheet and
build a farm operating plan.
The Loan
Assistance
Tool that provides customers
with an interactive online, stepby-step guide to identifying the
direct loan products that may
be a fit for their business needs
and to understanding the appli-
cation process.
An online direct loan repayment feature that relieves borrowers from the necessity of
calling, mailing, or visiting a
local Service Center to pay a
loan installment.
A simplified direct loan
paper application, reduced
from 29 pages to 13 pages.
More Information

Act was signed by President
Biden in August 2022, USDAs

The Fire of 2019
Kaylee King
6th Grade, GES

Mrs. Scott
January 7th, 2019, 5:36 a.m.,
late in the night, while the crickets were chirping, the moon
shining into my room from the
closed blinds, filling my room
with light; the coyotes howling
in the distance, and I was still
awake. I had a feeling that I
could not shake. A feeling that
something was about to happen
to my family and I. So I stayed
in my room with the moonlight
flowing in, just waiting and
waiting.
I get up to go get a cup of
water. As I walk to the kitchen,
the floorboards underneath me
creak one step at a time, then
I feel the room get hotter. I
thought little about it until I saw
the deep black color of smoke
out the back door window; I
opened the blinds not thinking
it was anything bad, because I
was 7. Next, I see it. Fire on the
back porch, burning the wood
with strength.
Immediately I run to my
moms room, gasping for air as I
run. The fire alarms go off. That
is when I realizedthe fire was
inside.
As I see smoke, and start
coughing, my mom gets up grabs
my little sister out of her colorful crib, she runs and runs outside into the cool breeze, with
the moonlight shining on the
flaming house. Coyotes howling
at the moon, my dogs running
into the distance, chasing the
coyotes. Everyone gets outside.
That is when I realized my little
brother was still in the flaming
house. Then I scream bloody
murder, yelling Joey is still in
there! Joey is still in there!
and my grandpa runs inside the
flaming house.
Dropping his hat on the
ground, they get out of the
house. We all get into our car
and we drive out of the driveway. As we are getting out of
the driveway my mom calls the
police. they said they will be
here soon! she exclaimed. As
the firefighters and the police
get here, they put out the fire,
and the police question us is
there anybody who smokes in
this family? a police officer
asks. My uncle was living with
us and he smoked the night of
the fire. So my uncle said, I
do, but I remember putting out
the cigarette before going back
inside.
After the fire was put out, my
family and I went to my cousins
house to stay the night. I chatted
with my cousin; I felt like crying
rivers. I told my cousin while
crying, Joey couldve died in
that house!. As Im crying, I lay
down in her bed, as I lay down
the metal on the sidings squeak.
I lay down staining the pillow
with my tears. I fell asleep.
A day later, we go back to see
the damage the fire has caused.
My parents bought a house in
the city until our house gets
rebuilt. Every day, for a year,
we went back to our house, taking out the burned ashes, wood
floorboards, and water out of the
basement. Our backs aching,
the sun flowing into the cement
and shining onto our faces. The
dump truck coming and going,
full of ashes and burned wood,
and after our house has gotten
rebuilt, we have been living in
it since 2020! The theme of this
non-fiction story is to always be
brave, no matter what.

as they were always on time
and completely compliant and
forthcoming with their data.
Apparently, always doesnt
always mean always.
Since Kansas voters defeated
a constitutional amendment in
2022 which would have clarified that no right to abortion is
implicit in the states founding
document, Kansas and other
abortion states have become
abortion tourism destinations,
drawing thousands of women
who want to kill their fetuses
from states which have enacted
tougher restrictions or bans.
While abortion advocates
have lamented the end of Roe
as an assault on womens personal freedom to end their
pregnancies, the actual net
effect has been a spike in the
number of abortions in 2023
to a record million-plus fetal
deaths, according to the U.S.
Abortion Provision Dashboard
compiled by the Guttenmacher
Institute, which measures
monthly abortion traffic state
to state. Guttmachers monthly Abortion Provision Study
estimates the number of clinician-provided abortions provided in each US state without a total ban for each month
since January 2023. It collects
data on procedural and medication abortions provided at
brick-and-mortar health facilities (such as clinics or doctors
offices), as well as medication
abortions provided via telehealth and virtual providers
in the United States. Abortions
are counted as having been
provided in the state in which
a patient had a procedure or
where pills were dispensed.
Kansas doctors killed 12,318
fetuses in 2022 according to last
years KDHE stats, about half
of those to women 20-39, 8,590 of
which had at least one previous
pregnancy and 3,836 of whom
had at least one previous abortion. There were 7,849 abortions in the state in 2021.
Legislators in Kansas passed
a law which became effective
July 1 which requires the
secretary of KDHE to issue
twice-yearly accounting no
more than 30 days after the
end of a reporting period, but
doesnt establish the dates of
those accounting periods, leaving KDHE to select them. The
law was passed after some legislators came to believe KDHE
took too long to produce last
years report.
In Kansas, Pro-Life dominant legislators have passed a
number of measures designed
to reduce abortions and to give
women pause who may be seeking to end their pregnancies.
According to Guttmachers
research of Kansas laws:
A patient must receive
state directed counseling that
includes information designed
to discourage her from having
an abortion, and then wait 24
hours before the procedure is
provided.
Private insurance policies
cover abortion only in cases of
life endangerment, unless indi-
viduals purchase an optional
rider at an additional cost.
Health plans offered in the
states health exchange under
the Affordable Care Act can
only cover abortion in cases of
life endangerment.
Abortion is covered in
insurance policies for public
employees only in cases of life
endangerment.
The use of telemedicine to
administer medication abortion is prohibited.
The parents of a minor
must consent before an abortion is provided. Public funding is available for abortion
only in cases of life endangerment, rape or incest.
A patient must undergo an
ultrasound before obtaining
an abortion; the provider must
offer the patient the option to
view the image.
An abortion may be performed at 20 or more weeks
postfertilization (22 weeks after
the last menstrual period) only
in cases of life or severely compromised physical health.
The state prohibits abortions performed for the purpose
of sex selection.
