Valentine answers accusations
Outgoing sheriff calls
out candidate for claims
made during campaign
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Anderson County
Sheriff Vern Valentine is rebutting comments made by a candidate running in the race for county sheriff as being untrue and a
product of information taken out
of context.
In a lengthy post on the
sheriffs department Facebook
page, retiring Sheriff Vern
Valentine called out the comments by candidate, Garnett City
Commissioner and Anderson
County Emergency Preparedness
Director Mark Locke both on
his private Facebook account
and at the recent Business and
Professional
Womens political forum in
Garnett. Locke
took
some
pointed shots
at the sheriffs
department in a
variety of areas,
Valentine
including playing favorites
with the uneven application
of department policies, lack of
response to 911 hang-up calls, and
staffing problems Locke implied
were matters of management and
not just low pay. Valentine said
in his own post he could not let
those attacks go unaddressed.
I am the Sheriff, and ultimately responsible for the way the
office functions, Valentine said.
I will not sit back and listen to
comments that are not true.
Locke,
a
Republican,
is
running
against current
undersheriff and fellow
Republican
Wes McClain
in the August 6
Locke
GOP primary,
with a write-in
candidate declared in the general
election.
Our Sheriffs Department
needs to be more involved with
the community, Locke wrote in
a post. Instead, they are either
sitting in the office waiting for
the phone to ring or hiding on
some back country road. I will
say not everyone does this, but
far too many do.

Biden bows out, Kansas leaders react
As expected, opinions
depend on which side
youre on
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WASHINGTON, D.C. Kansas politicians comments on Sundays
news of President Joe Bidens
bowing out of the presidential
race, as predicted, depended on
their party.
Governor Laura Kelly, who
weeks ago pledged her full support to Biden even as his approval ratings plummeted, wove her
own narrative on both
his years of
service and
his impact
while
in
office amid
r e c o r d
inflation,
Biden
social and
cultural
division and two wars raging in
different world theaters.
For more than five decades,
President Biden has made it his
lifes work to better our country for hardworking Americans,
Kansas top Democrat said.
Above all, he has been firm in
his desire to safeguard democracy in a time of hyper-polarization
and divisiveness. I thank him for
his service and steadfast leadership.
The states only Democrat congressional representative was
effusive in her praise as well.
President Biden has dedicated his life to serving our country
and his time as our President
has restored decency to the
highest office, said 3rd District
Congresswoman Sharice Davids.
By stepping aside from the pres-
Commissioners manage small
property tax cut in 2025 budget
Though theyll still spend
more, savings help cut levy
and reduce tax requirement
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A $1 million reduction in county debt will allow county commissioners to spend about
$600,000 more this year, even as
they lower the tax mill levy, slightly
reduce property taxes overall and
see a slight drop in county valuation
for the first time in years.
The preliminary summary of the
Anderson Countys 2025 spending
plan was released last week and
published in todays newspaper in
preparation for the August 12 county budget hearing, which is open
to the public. The budget wont be
official until the public has a chance
to comment on it and commissioners vote on it. The budget being
approved this summer takes effect
as of Jan. 1, 2025.
The savings comes in the form
of a line item for Lease Purchase
Principal under the budgets section for outstanding indebtedness.
This section includes General
Obligation bonds for the construction of the Anderson County
Hospital of about $23 million in 2024.

the City of Marions insurance carrier connected to an
illegal search and seizure of her cell phone and newspaper property during a police raid

FROM PAGE 1
City officials pressed police
officers, who got Viars signature on search warrants,
to conduct the raids alleging
the newspaper had committed
identity fraud in searching a
public online database. A resident provided a tip that a local
restaurateur seeking a liquor
license for a catering expansion actually had no drivers
license after having lost it
years ago as a result of a DUI.
The newspaper didnt use the
information in a story, but
notified city officials, who were
considering the permit.
Meyers 98 year-old mother died the day after officers
spent two hours in a search of
her home in which they confiscated various electronic and
Internet equipment.
In a Facebook post, Gruver
did not disclose how much of
the settlement was paid in fees
to her attorney, Blake Shuart,
though attorneys typically
receive a third to half of a damages settlement if the plaintiff
has paid them no money up
front for representation.
Gruver said she plans to
start a journalism scholarship
with part of her proceeds.
A huge public outpouring of
support for the newspaper after
word spread of its predicament
resulted in more than a doubling of the papers circulation,
from around 2,000 before the
raid to some 5,500 afterwards,
Eric Meyer told a public radio
interviewer.

OBITUARIES
BUDGET…
MAY 5, 1945 JULY 18, 2024
Dale W. Cobbs, age 79, of Bush
City, Kansas, passed away on
Thursday, July 18, 2024, at St.
Luke's South
Hospital in
Overland
Park, Kansas.
Dale Wayne
Cobbs
was
born on May
5, 1945, he was
the second son
born to Everett
Cobbs
Wayne Cobbs
and Audrey
(Eyman). Audrey passed away
in childbirth with the birth of
their third son, Michael Dean on
August 13, 1946. Wayne married
Elsie Conner and Dale and Eyman
were blessed to have her as their
mother. Dale attended school at
Blue Mound and graduated from
Blue Mound High School with
the class of 1963. Following high
school Dale attended the Kansas
State College of Pittsburg where
he earned a track scholarship for
pole vaulting. He then attended
Kansas State University where
he competed on the rodeo team.
One of his highlights from his
time at K-State was riding his
horse through a bar in Aggieville.
Dale married Trudy Carter and
they were blessed with one son,
Michael Wayne Cobbs. They
later divorced. After attending college Dale began working
in construction and joined the
Carpenter's Union in his early
20's, over the years he worked on
the Ammunition Plant in Parsons
and then on the LaCygne power
plant. Dale married Diane Knepp
and they were blessed with two
sons, Casey Scott and Ryan
Eugene. They later divorced.
While working in LaCygne he
switched to the Millwright's
Union and continued with the
Millwright's until he retired in
2000.
Dale was united in marriage to
Yvonne (White) Todd on June 22,
1985, in Sedan, Kansas. Yvonne
had two children at the time of
their marriage, Louis Paul and
Nichole Yvonne. They made their
home on the farm east of Bush
City, where they raised horses
and longhorn cattle for roping
stock. Growing up on the 3-C
Ranch at Blue Mound made a
lifelong impression on Dale as
he was on or around horses
throughout his life. As a young
man he rode bulls and bareback
horses in the rodeo. After he was
hurt riding bulls, he switched to
staying on the horse with team
roping. He spent countless hours
at the practice pen that Dale
built with his brother, Eyman,
roping with friends and family.
Dale enjoyed deer hunting and
opening day was equivalent to
a National Holiday as he went
many years without missing
one. In his retirement years he
enjoyed many days on his boat
fishing for bass in local lakes.
He especially enjoyed fishing in
the Shriners bass tournament on
Table Rock Lake. After a cruise
to Alaska, Dale made it a priority for he and Yvonne to take an
annual cruise; they enjoyed trips
through the Panama Canal, and

2024. The Lease purchase principal reduction is a combination of savings from the county jail payoff and no further
budgeting of EKAE ethanol tax
refunding, according to county
clerk Julie Wettstein.
The
net effect is projected as a
reduction in overall property
taxes paid by local property
owners from $10,514,346 in 2024
to $10,510,250 a drop of about
$4,100. Commissioners tapped
local taxpayers for $9.8 million
in 2023. Taxpayers chipped in
$8.8 million in 2020.
As usual the biggest piece of
the county budget is the county
road and bridge department,
which will see an increase this
year of some $239,000 to $3.9
million for 2025. The special
bridge line item will be cut
from $447,230 in 2024 to a little
over $415,000 this coming year.
Funds estimated to be transferred from the 2024 budget
into 2025 will also decrease by
about $15,000 to about $641,000.
After seeing a 9 percent jump
in 2024 from the year before
to $137.8 million, the countys
assessed valuation dropped
about $181,000 to $137.6 million
for 2025. Assessed value is the
portion of a propertys estimated market value that is subject
to property taxes.
The countys public hearing
on the proposed budget will be
at 9:15 a.m. August 12 at the
commission chambers in the

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, July 23, 2024
OPINION
How can we tell when someones broken
John Schrank, Lynette Fromme, John
Hinkley, Jr., and now Thomas Matthew Crooks.
These are the names of those who have
attempted to assassinate a president or former
president.
Schrank took a shot Theodore Roosevelt in
1912, Lynette Fromme attempted to kill Gerald
Ford in 1975, Hinkley put a bullet in Ronald
Reagan in 1981, and Crooks nipped Donald
Trumps ear July 13, 2024.
There were more attempts earlier in history, and four assassins succeeded, including
John Wilkes Booth when he shot Abraham
Lincoln in the back of the head at point blank
range in 1865, Charles Guiteau who gunned
down James Garfield in 1881, Leon Czolgosz who
killed William McKinley in 1901, and Lee Harvey
Oswald who put two bullets into the head of
John F. Kennedy in 1963.
Trump was literally a half an inch from losing
his life, and Reagan almost died after his gunshot wound when doctors struggled to locate and
remove the bullet.
While much is being made about how politics
leads to the heinous acts, and while the media
is not clean from some of these attacks, we cant
lose sight of a more pressing issue that leaves
bread crumbs right back to these shooters
mental and social instability.
Hillary Clinton famously said that those
who support Donald Trump need to be deprogrammed as if your political affiliation is a
mental defect. Thats the fear we have of politics
being interjected into mental fitness.
What I am referring to is the mental brokenness in any person that leads to the attempt on
someone elses life, especially a high profile target like Trump.
Its not an excuse for the behavior, either. I
was stunned when Hinkley was released from
his mental facility within the last year. I dont
believe it is too much to ask to keep someone
who shoots at a president in prison for the rest
of their life.
But in the recent shooting, it seems there
were plenty of signs that Crooks was not a stable
person.
Classmates referred to Crooks and some of his
high school friends as school shooters. Even
they knew that if anyone was going to bring a
gun to school and start shooting up students,
Crooks was the guy.
How is it that teenagers know it but somehow
we dont make the connection that can actually
save lives?
Our country has made mental illness a stig-
KANSAS COMMENTARY
EARL WATT, THE LEADER & TIMES
ma, and we have also cut back significantly on
mental health care services.
While the focus is on Trump, we can never
forget that a husband and father was killed by
Crooks, and two others were critically injured.
When a broken human being acts out, innocent people are in the cross hairs.
Thats why we have to be careful of the rhetoric we use. Its not whether or not we have the
freedom to speak however we choose. We do.
But is it responsible to say some of the things
weve heard, or to see a comedian holding the
severed head of the president?
It doesnt take much to trigger a mentally
unstable person. And yet we almost put out targets to unlock the unhinged.
We have to get better at identifying these
characteristics, because the political rhetoric
isnt going to change. Bullying will never completely go away in schools and among children,
and it almost never comes as a surprise when
someone finally decides to act out on their negative impulses.
While we have some tough questions about
protection at political events and our schools,
no amount of security can ever completely stop
a committed person from finding a way to do
harm.
But what we can do is see the signs that lead
to a person wanting to do harm. Too many stories of the perpetrators are the same. The characteristics are the same.
When we have a profile, we need to seek the
proper help.
When I was young, I struggled with my S and
R sounds in speech. They were identified, I went
to speech class with Mrs. Mosburg, and it was
corrected.
Finding these other defects is no different.
And it can save lives. ###

July 2020 in Kansas $1.98 per gallon of gas.
Today its $3.09 and has been as high as $4.67.
Crisco over $8 now, nearly doubling the price
from 4 years ago. Bidenomics is stealing our
financial health and the Democrats dont care.
Biden: We finally beat Medicare.Trump: Yeah
you beat it to death. The Democrats, in order
to accrue more votes at the ballot box, are the
real threats to Medicare and Social Security
by expanding the base to include illegal immigrants who have not paid into or earned this
entitlement. This only ensures its inevitable
collapse. For decades we have witnessed the
funding of billions to foreign countries at the
expense of our seniors, who over the course of
their lifetime entrusted the government with
their monthly investment. Dont be fooled come

Something bigger than politics is unfolding in America
Its difficult to describe historical moments as
theyre unfolding, but let me hazard a few initial
observations about former President Donald
Trumps speech at the Republican National
Convention on Thursday night.
Watching a presidential candidate (and former president) describe his near-assassination
less than a week after a bullet came within
millimeters of ending his life is quite simply the
most captivating, awe-inspiring thing that has
ever happened at a political convention in this
country.
I will tell you exactly what happened, and
youll never hear it from me a second time
because its actually too painful to tell, Trump
said.
In a calm, almost somber tone, Trump
recounted in detail his near-death experience to
a breathless watching world. Im not supposed
to be here, he said, attributing his survival to
the grace of Almighty God. Many in attendance, and not a few watching at home, were
in tears as Trump told his tale. He described
getting shot in the ear, the blood running down
his face, and the Secret Service agents shielding him. Again he invoked divine providence:
There was blood pouring, and yet, in a certain
way, I felt very safe because I had God on my
side.
Then he described the crowds reaction: They
didnt run, they didnt stampede. They were
worried about him, Trump said, afraid he might
be badly wounded or worse. Trump said he
wanted to show them he was all right, that he
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
JOHN DANIEL DAVIDSON THE FEDERALIST
wasnt going anywhere. So he stood up, raised
his fist, and shouted, Fight! Fight! Fight!
When he said this, the crowd at the convention
echoed him in chorus.
Perhaps the most poignant, moving moment
of the speech came shortly after, when Trump
eulogized Corey Comperatore, the local
Pennsylvania man who was struck by a stray
bullet from the shooter and died in front of his
wife and two daughters at the rally. He lost his
life selflessly acting as a human shield to protect
them from flying bullets, Trump said. He went
right over the top of them and was hit. What a
fine man he was.
Before Trump took the stage, two people
rolled out Comperatores firefighter helmet and
jacket, and at one point Trump walked over and
kissed the helmet, then asked the crowd for a
moment of silence to honor his memory.
Then he said: There is no greater love than
to lay down ones life for others. This is the spirit that forged America in her darkest hours, and
this is the love that will lead America back to the
summit of human achievement and greatness.
This is what we need. Despite such a heinous
attack, we unite this evening, more determined
than ever. I am more determined than ever, and
so are you. So is everybody.
Again, nothing like this has ever happened
at a political convention in America. It was a
remarkable, almost unbelievable moment in
American politics.
In fact, the whole convention, coming less
than a week after the assassination attempt, had
an air of myth, of the spirit of divine providence
a palpable sense that, as one commentator
on X put it, we are caught in the tide of larger shores. Earlier in the day, the convention
opened with a prayer to Saint Michael the
Archangel, a traditional Catholic prayer for
protection against the wickedness and snares
of the devil. Later, the Rev. Franklin Graham
offered a prayer for the nation and for Trump.
That is not to say the convention as a whole
was explicitly Christian. Indeed, it was in some
ways less Christian than GOP conventions of
the past. Much has been made of the decision
to remove language about ending abortion from
the Republican Party platform. And more than
a few commentators on the right noted distinctSEE DAVIDSON ON PAGE 7
With a bullet wound, is Donald Trump still a quasi-Nazi?
The White House is now faced with a conundrum — how to make the case against Donald
Trump as a quasi-Nazi while lowering the proverbial temperature after his near-assassination.
Joe Bidens Oval Office address calling for
toning down the overheated rhetoric in our politics was fine as far as it went, except it included
no mea culpa, no assurance that hell try to do
better himself, no recognition that his political
and media allies have been the worst offenders.
Over-the-top attacks on Trump havent been
incidental to the Democratic 2024 campaign, but
central to it. How else to distract attention from
Bidens woeful record and marked decline? This
is what Biden was getting at when he said — not
knowing how it would sound soon thereafter
— that its time to put Trump in a bullseye.
If Biden himself had been careful and responsible in his criticisms of Trump and Republicans,
he would have been rendered practically mute
the past few years.
Several years ago, he called the push
for enhanced voter ID laws and the like in
Republican states the most serious test of our
democracy since the Civil War, and characterized it as a 21st century Jim Crow assault
on voting rights. When voting reforms actually
didnt end American democracy, he didnt go
back and correct the record.
The focus, of course, has been Trump. In
his unsettling and weird Philadelphia speech
on the soul of America back in September
2022, Biden fulminated, Donald Trump and
the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our
republic.
He urged Democrats, independents and
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
mainstream Republicans to be stronger,
more determined and more committed to saving
American democracy than MAGA Republicans
are to destroying American democracy.
Thats been relatively mild compared to how
Trump has been routinely characterized by
Bidens boosters as an American Hitler who will
end our democracy and assassinate and imprison his critics with impunity if hes elected to a
second term. This isnt the handiwork of fringe
voices on social media or YouTube, but some of
the most respected and established voices in the
Democratic Party, from nearly everyone who
appears on MSNBC to Hillary Clinton.
Even the policy agenda that Biden and
his supporters are attributing to Trump, the
Heritage Foundations Project 2025, is being
called an unprecedented embrace of extremism, fascism and religious nationalism, as one
Democratic congressman has put it.
On top of this, Joe Bidens Justice Department
and his political allies have repeatedly indicted
Donald Trump in hopes of taking him out politically and perhaps putting him in prison for the
rest of his life, an unprecedented legal assault
against a political opponent that has enormously raised the emotional and real stakes of 2024.
In his attempt to claw back from his catastrophic debate performance, Biden assailed
Trump at a rally in Detroit just days ago as a
threat to this nation, as his supporters chanted,
Lock him up! And the president won plaudits
from his own side — this is what they want to
hear and enjoy hearing.
It has all added up to a constant, deliberate
attempt to keep the fear and hatred of Trump at
a fever pitch and portray the fight against him
as literally existential. Who knows what, if any,
effect this had on Trumps attempted assassin,
who remains a blank slate.
Certainly, though, if the idea that Trump
is just months away from overthrowing the
Constitution and establishing a fascist regime in
America is taken seriously and literally, it would
justify any means of resistance. Regardless,
after the horror of Butler, Pennsylvania, even
Democrats say things have gotten too vitriolic.
Theyll just never admit their own responsibility.
Maybe Democrats could say they disagree
with Trumps policies and hate what he did
after the 2020 election without invoking Hitler,
fascism or any number of other bogeymen that
are false and inflammatory. If so, theres a first
time for everything.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
Mr. Hicks, could you please put something
in the paper about our local politicians? We
dont need to hear about the Kansas City politician who cares for no one except you and
your paper. And while Im on the phone let me
discuss the city, and how the commissioners
have failed the entire city in not getting the
junk cleaned up on the highway and in peoples
yards. I thought we had a person to take care of
that, but evidently hes too busy.
I guess for me its just that Republicans seem
to be so willing to say anything that comes
into their mind with no respect for any other
human being. Referencing the comment from
todays July 16th copy of the paper, dirty damn
Democrats. Thats no way to talk. Thats no
way to behave. And if thats the way you think,
then maybe you need to rethink who you have
become because of politics. Thank you.
I would hope that you people in this town can
keep your opinion about politics out of church
and your groups and everything else. We dont
need to be persuaded. Thank you.
I have one question for everyone: How can you
forget that Donald Trump is a liar and a cheater? He cheats and the way he treats women.

HISTORY
Please help identify a find 60 years ago…Modern streetlights coming to Garnett
Approximately two weeks
ago before this terrible heat
wave, I was able to dig at my
farm site. More and more Im
beginning to believe the area
Im presently working at was
once a machine shop. I say this,
because, of all the iron artifacts
Im finding. No matter what
the structure once was, I know
for a fact it was burned down
either purposely or accidentally, by the amount of charcoal
and ashes I find the artifacts in.
#1 – I need help identifying
this iron artifact
#2 – I paid another visit to
the bottle site recently discovered and found four more
brown bottles. As you can see
the larger bottle is badly damaged.
#3 – Im sure most of you will
recognize this old style door
lock. Now to find the key!

years. Instead of a committee
of people counting and recounting votes well into the morning
hours following election day,
the machine will use an electronic eye to see marks made
on special ballots. The news
was not good last week when
members of the USD 365 Board
of Education toured Garnett
Elementary Center with architect David Livingood and Dick
Finney, a structural engineer.
Finney told board members he
had found some serious problems with the steel lintels above
each window. The lintels are
pieces of I-beam lad across the
tops of windows at the school
to support the weight of brinks
and other loads above the windows. The 73-year-old building
was originally constructed and
used as Garnett High School
until the Anderson County Jr/
Sr High School was built in
1992.
Twenty years ago, July 2004
City commissioners tabled
discussions about closing five
railroad crossings until more
information could be gathered. About a half-dozen city
residents attended the meeting
to point out that closing the
crossings would only increase
traffic on other crossings.
Union Pacific Railroad and
the Kansas Department of
Transportation recommended cloning the crossings at
Spruce, Cedar, Pine, Main, and
Elm to save both the railroad
and tax dollars. Last week,
Anderson County Emergency
Preparedness Director Gary
Benjamin included an allowance to hire a full-time deputy coordinator in his budget.
Benjamin told the County
Commission that they should
consider building an emergency services building with a
basement as a secure area for
vital services.
Ten years ago, June 2014
County
Commissioners
hope to fix the consistency
issue with the heating and cooling systems in the century-old
courthouse. The upgrades will
likely cost nearly a half million dollars. Installing a new
system in the 112-year-old
building is possible due to the
money being set aside by commissions for years. The fund
now has about $800,000 because
commissioners have said they
want to refrain from taking out
bonds to pay for the project.
Due to project design plans,
three-year-old plans to build
a veterans memorial on the
Anderson County Courthouse
lawn appear to have stalled.
Committee member County
Clerk Phyllis Gettler said they
are waiting on updated design
plans from a local man. The
Westphalia Fire Department
was recently awarded grain
bin rescue equipment from
the Nationwide Agribusiness
Insurance Company and the
National Education Center for
Agricultural Safety. Thirtysix entries from 14 states were
received in the first year of this
initiative.
You name it,

Sunflowers exhibit on display in the Cornstock to offer discounted
Walker Art West Gallery at the library tickets during fairs tent night
Everyone should mark their calendars to be
sure to stop by the Walker Art West Gallery this
month until the end of August.
What you will see is a dazzling display of
Kansan's favorite flower. Sunflowers in every
shape, size and media that you can imagine.
What started as an spark in our curators
mind after she heard a remark about Kansass
Sunflower Summer, turned into a fabulous
exhibit.
The exhibit showcases our local artists amazing talents. It even involves
the Children's Craft Club that
meets at the library every third
Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. and is
open to all children K-3 grade.
The adult artists works are a
variety of found objects, acrylic
painting, fiber art, ink drawing,
collage, bead sculpture, and photography.
There is even a three generation family group of oil painters
in the display. A large wreath
with a Stetson hat that belonged
to her dad is also a feature to
enjoy.
The childrens Craft Club
The Anderson County Corn
Festival, also known as the
Cornstock Music Festival
will be supporting the
Anderson County Fairs Tent
Night on Wednesday, July 31
by selling Cornstock tickets
and special VIP prize drawing
at their booth.
Cornstock tickets are currently $55 to the September
28th one day music festival
featuring country music artist
Dylan Scott, red dirt country
legend Stoney LaRue, country
music royalty Pam Tillis and
opening band, classic rockClevermax. Tickets increase
for the final time on September
1 to $65 and remain $65 through
the music festival gates. Kids
ages 5 and under are admitted
free.
Only at Tent Night at the
Anderson County Fair, tickets
to Cornstock will be sold at
the discounted price of only
crafted the large sunflowers on the east wall.
The kids experimented
with puff paint, decoupage, printmaking, and
many other mediums
to create the life-size
sunflowers.
It will certainly be
worth your time to stop
by the gallery.

ly pagan and nonconservative
elements of the convention,
like the Hindu prayer and the
choice to platform Amber Rose.
But there was nevertheless
an air of something larger at
work at the convention, as
indeed there has been these last
week in America. At one point
in the evening, Tucker Carlson
gave a few unscripted remarks
about whats happened in the
last month, how in his view
everything was different
after the assassination attempt.
He suggested something is happening right now that seems
bigger than mere politics. I
think even people that dont
believe in God are beginning
to think, well, maybe theres
something to this actually,
he said, and closed by saying,
God is among us right now,
and I think thats enough.
Tucker is right, events
are unfolding that seem to
go beyond mere politics.
Something is moving in
America and among its people,
FROM PAGE 4
and we are not in control of it.
At the end of over an hour
of speaking, Trump closed with
an appeal to set our bitterness
and divisions aside and come
together to move forward as
one people eschewing the
recriminations and outrage
that his detractors might have
expected of him after surviving
an assassination attempt.
Tonight I ask for your partnership, for your support, and
I am humbly asking for your
vote, he said. To all of the
forgotten men and women who
have been neglected, abandoned, and left behind, you will
be forgotten no longer. We will
press forward, and together we
will win, win, win.
But Trump also said something else, circling back to his
opening theme: divine providence. He said, Just a few
short days ago, my journey
with you nearly ended. And yet
here we are tonight, all gathered together, talking about the
future, promise, and renewal
of America. We live in a world
of miracles. None of us knows
Gods plan or where lifes
adventure will take us. But
if the events of last Saturday
make anything clear, it is that
every single moment we have
on Earth is a gift from God. We
have to make the most of every
day for the people and country
we love.
We live in a world of miracles. None of us knows Gods
plans. Every moment we have
is a gift from God. All of this
is true. They are the sort of
things nearly every American
professed openly only a few
generations ago, but they are
not the sort of things you would
ordinarily expect to hear at an
American political party convention.
These, however, are not
ordinary times. They are times
shot through with providence
and history and wonder. And
where they lead only God
knows.

gave the treasury report. The
hostesses gave us a colorful
bandana for each one of us. For
the grand finale we went out to
the horse stables and saw the

Thank you.
First off Id like to say that I am a Republican, but I am tired
of Republicans and Democrats blaming each other for nothing.
You are elected to solve problems together. Second, to the one
claiming Democrats hired a 20 year-old would-be assassin to kill
president Trump is not very smart. Third a sniper would not be
that close and as exposed as he was. He would have selected a
place further away and with more cover and an escape route. He
also would have not used an AR-15. It would have been a sniper
rifle. Last, if you were going to accuse someone or any outfit of
doing something wrong, I suggest you have the proof first. If you
dont have it, then you are nothing much more than a blowhard.

How does God feel about us?
John 3:16 says that, God so
loved the world that he gave his
one and only Son that whoever
believes in him shall not perish
but have eternal life. Melissa
Henderson, a guest contributor for Right From the Heart
Ministries writes as follows.
The thing about love is you
dont always feel it. Love is not
just a feeling, its a choice, an
intentional choice we make to
bestow on others. God chose to
love us from his first creation
of man.
From Genesis to Revelation
the Bible depicts Gods love for
his people and their response
to this love. In 1st Samuel the
prophet takes a plea from the
people for a king to God as
follows. We want a king over
us. Then we will be like all the
other nations, with a king to
head us and to go out before
us and fight our battles. The
implication here is the people
do not believe God can provide
the leadership they need. They
are willing to exchange divine
leadership for human visibility. They were not willing to
believe in a God who spoke to
them through a prophet and
this despite having seen God
deliver them time and time
again. Gods answer to them.
Listen to them and give them
a king. 1st Samuel 8:9-22 gives
the detail of what they were
signing up for by requesting a
king. Placing absolute power
in anyones hands other than
God can only lead to corruption and slavery.
So back to my original ques-
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
tion. How does God feel about
us? I am positive God has not
changed how he feels for us.
God is immutable or unchangeable, if he changed at all he
would not be God. On the other
hand we bear a great resemblance to the Israelites. We
dont want to use Gods rules
because they limit our choices to much. We know what
we want, what we need. We
can follow God in some ways
but our self-expression must be
allowed to lead us where we
need to go.
So how does God feel about
us when we totally ignore him
or fail to follow him? He loves
us, gave his Son to die for us.
How do we feel about God? We
want to be king. I used to feel
that way. How could God know
what was best for me? He tells
us in Jeremiah 29:11. For I
know the plans I have for you
declares the LORD, plans to
prosper you and not to harm
you, plans to give you hope and
a future. God loves us but he
requires us to return that love
to him and then on to others.
Make your choice.
BIDEN…
FROM PAGE 1
idential race today, he has once
again put the future of our
country first.
Bidens move came as a
chorus of Democrats called
for his ouster from the race
after a June 27 debate with
Donald Trump made clear
his long-suspected cognitive
decline, and Trumps potential
to win back the office he lost
in 2020 became more promising. The announcement throws
Democrats into chaos, with
Bidens endorsement of vice
president Kamala Harris and
the notable withholding of the
same from leading Democrat
Barack Hussein Obamasuggesting she will not be the only
Democrat seeking the nomination at the Democrats Chicago
convention that begins August
19. Harris is the only candidate
who can legally spend the $240
million campaign war chest
now held by the campaign, but
the quirky vice-president is
also widely disliked by the public and seen as a pariah in her
own party. Her approval rating
tanks at 38 percent nationwide,
although some polls show her
edging ahead of Trump in a
head-to-head matchup.
As Sundays story develops
and concerns grow about international implications, more
pundits are calling for Biden
to step down from the presidency due to his tacitly admitted infirmity. Republican congressional contender from the
3rd District Prasanth Reddy
called out his opponent Sharice
Davids for cherry picking the
Biden legacy, particularly
with her record of supporting
Bidens radical social and economic agenda almost without
fail.
If President Biden is not
in good enough shape to run,
how can she (Davids) continue
to support him as President?,
Reddy asked. And does she
still stand by the Biden/Harris
policies that made us less safe
and secure and caused the cost
of gas, groceries, and more to
skyrocket?
First District Republican
Congressman Tracey Mann
said the focus of this election
was still on policy.
I am confident that the
November elections will give
Republicans success up and
down the ballot, Mann said.
No matter the Democratic
nominee, Republicans have
better ideas to unite Americans
and save the country.
Americans continue to voice
their desire for leadership that
will restore order and get our
country back on track, and I
am committed to doing that,
Mann said.
State GOP Chairman Mike
Brown said Harris was as a big
threat to the country as Biden
had proven to be.
Harris is the only Democrat
candidate who polls worse than
Biden, and with good reason,
Brown said. Her abysmal failures as the Border Czar created
an all-time high illegal immigration into the USA with virtually no southern border. She
is a disaster.
The Democrat Party is
where Democracy goes to die,
Brown said.
12th District State Senator
Caryn Tyson, a Republican,
said
Bidens
evacuation
brought no optimism for his
party and that it was time for
him to vacate the presidency.
It is time for Biden to step
down due to health problems
and socialist policies, however
dont count on a change, as
Biden may not be in control,
she said.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, July 23, 2024
LOCAL
Rural fire departments struggling to find volunteers RESPONSE…
Anderson County Fire,
please be en route. Its a
familiar sound for more than
100 households in Anderson
County. Divided into nine
separate fire districts with
access to fourty-four pieces of
fire apparatus, they make up
the volunteer fire department
that protects the entire county. In a study by the National
Volunteer Fire Council, of the
16,000 firefighters in Kansas,
all but roughly 3,000 are volunteers, and those numbers continue to fall with each passing
year.
A variety of reasons are
being cited for the decline in
not only volunteer firefighters,
but in volunteerism in general.
The economy over the last several decades has made the need
for dual-income households
reduce the number of available
hours to volunteer. Others say
that a narrow set of criteria
that only previously allowed
men to volunteer with the
departments could be to blame
across the state. Another study
cited the need for residents
to commute for employment
removed able-bodied residents
temporarily from the community while they are away at
work. Regardless of the reason
why fewer are volunteering,
the shortage of personnel can
lead to delayed or understaffed
responses to emergencies that
require the fire departments to
respond.
In Anderson County, you
can find the fire department
also responding to county
emergency medical calls and
assisting with patient care
while awaiting the arrival of
the ambulance. The benefit
of the rural fire departments
would be that while the ambulance is coming from Garnett,
responders are arriving from
their community to administer first aid before its arrival
on scene. Emergency Medical
Services Ambulances are sta-
tioned in locations intended
to reduce response times, but
the time needed to travel from
Garnett to Westphalia or Welda
still makes for a 10 minute or
more response time. Volunteer
responders in the community
sometimes beat the ambulance
to the scene by several minutes.
Anderson County is no different than the trend that is
seen on the state level, volunteers are finding fewer hours
to respond and leaving a gap
that is not only dangerous to
their community but to the
other firefighters. When fewer
firefighters respond to the fire
station for a call, the fire apparatus leaves with only a few
people when the trucks can
seat a half dozen. With fewer
sets of hands arriving on the
scene in the engine, it leaves
two to three people to pump
water to the scene and get
water through the hoses onto
the scene. When only two or
three respond with the rescue
truck stationed at the county
fire station, fewer hands are
available to free entrapped
drivers or administer aid to
anyone involved in a scene.
That danger could be avoided if more able-bodied volunteers from the community
were available to join the fire
departments that protect our
county, especially in times of
need. Volunteers, as a whole,
are a scarce commodity that
the community cannot afford
to alienate. To join the Garnett
Fire Department or Garnett
Rural Fire Departments, a resident interested in joining them
need only attend a few meetings
and communicate their intent.
Meetings for both departments
fall on Thursday nights at 6:30
PM but alternate between the
city and county stations. For
more information for the other
rural fire departments, contact the Director of Emergency
Management, Mark Locke.

Chapter Y P.E.O. met July
15, 2024 at the Harris House on
West 4th St., Garnett, Ks. Nancy
Foltz and JoHanna Lankard representing the Anderson County
Historical Society were present
to give the history of the historic
1888 house built by Peter Barndt
and his son Peter Jr. for their
family home.
The home is of late Victorian
design having 44 windows and
beautiful woodwork.
In 1920 it was purchased by
Dr. C.B. Harris Sr. for his family.
After Dr.C.B. Harris Sr's
death in 1959 it was given to his
children.
In December 1980, The Harris
House was given to the Anderson
County Historical Society as a
gift by Dr. C.B. Harris Jr., his
wife Donna, his sisters Mrs. Sue
Williams, Miss Isabella Harris
and Mrs. Margaret Chafee.
Members were given a tour of
the beautiful historical home.
A short business meeting was
held following the tour.
Chapter Y will host the
"Spring Fling" in March
2025. P.E.O. Chapters from
Burlington, Chanute, Yates
Center, Humboldt, Eureka and
Iola will be invited to attend.
Rita Boydston served as hostess for the meeting and Linda
Brandes was Co-Hostess.
The next meeting will be August
19, 2024 at the home of Alice
Anderegg.
DID YOU
KNOW?
The Anderson
County Review is
the longest
continuously
operating
business in
Anderson County,
founded in 1865?
FROM PAGE 1
To (sic) many times I have
heard an officer be dispatched
to an alarm or 911 hangup and
the dispatcher tell the officer
that someone called and said
everything was ok and the
officer would simply take the
unknown persons word and
no longer respond to the call,
Locke alleged. This is just lack
of follow through. It is their job
to respond and make positive
that everything is as it should
be.
Valentine countered that
Lockes claim was false and that
he doesnt know what deputies
are doing because he doesnt
serve with them. A lot of their
office time is spent on required
paperwork, the sheriff said.
Officers spend a lot of time
in the Sheriff Office, but they
are writing reports or on the
phone conducting or setting
up interviews and yes taking
breaks, Valentine said. He said
demands on officers time is different than when Locke was in
law enforcement 20 years ago.
In todays worldyou have
to have a lot of paper as if it is
not documented it did not happen, and a lot of time will not be
allowed as testimony in court,
Valentine said. He said officers
struggle to complete reports,
patrol roads, do investigations
within their budgeted payroll
hours.
There is no way Mr. Locke
would know this or what cases
we are investigatinghe is not
privileged to our reports, or
investigations, and is not in the
deputies, or Undersheriff Office
watching over their shoulders
to see what they are doing, or
not doing, Valentine wrote.
Valentine said neither he nor
his 911 Center Administrator
can recall a time that a 911
hang-up was not addressed. He
said the department responds
whether or not dispatchers are
told by the caller the call was a
misdial.
I have been called out on
weekends and during the middle of the night to go to 911
hangups, Valentine said. He
said Locke is commenting on
information hes received second-hand or out of context, and
does not understand what goes
on.
Locke said as a candidate his
goal is to bring professionalism, consistency, and integrity
back to the Anderson County
Sheriffs Office.
We need to provide
cross-training to the staff. We
need to get involved with the
community. We want to create
a team mentality, and destroy
this us against them mentality, Locke said.
Ideals are easy to talk about
in a campaign, Valentine said.
But implementing everything
a candidate says he wants to
do takes money more than anything else and thats in short
supply, the sheriff said.
The fund(s) just (arent)
there for all the programs the
candidates are wanting to
implement, Valentine said,
so you have to pick your poison on what you want and what
you have to have in order to run
your office.
McClain did not respond to
the Reviews request for comment on the issue.
