Last years fake powder attack on Republicans still unsolved
Incident on anniversary of
Roe v. Wade overturn was
just another borne of angst
BY DANE HICKS
THE KANSAS INFORMER
TOPEKA Last summers harmless
powder attack on Republicans in
numerous states remains unsolved,
and since the case is cold and no one
was injured in the incident the culprit
will probably never be known.
Kansas Citys FBI Field Office
issued a single sentence response to
an inquiry by The Kansas Informer
for a followup last week, but previous
reporting on fake anthrax mailings
leads to the probability the incident
was tied to the one-year anniversary
of the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
Local legislators Fred Gardner,
Rebecca Schmoe and Caryn Tyson
were among the recipients.
More than 12 months after the 2023
incident, Kansas Citys FBI had little
to say.
I dont have any additional information that Im at liberty to provide
at this time, said Dixon Land, the
offices public information officer.
More than 100 letters were sent to
state legislators and public officials
nearly all of them Republicans
across Kansas and two other states in
mid June of 2023. Legislators home
addresses are often included on their
political filing information that is
public record on most state
election office websites.
Tests on the
white powder
included in the
envelopes by
law enforcement
proved it to be no
threat, but the tactic
is a traditional one
among those seeking
to harass and intimidate
their targets.
Fake
bioterrorism a t t a c k s
became popular after an actual
Anthrax mailing just after 9/11, when
Anthrax spores killed five people in
the United States and sickened 17
others. The FBI at the time identified Bruce Ivins, a microbiologist and research scientist at the
U.S. Army Medical Research
Institute
of
Infectious
Diseases (UASMRIID), who
officials believed acted
alone in the attack after
coming to believe his
supervisors planned to end his
anthrax research and move him to
work on other pathogens. The FBI
said the anthrax spores in the letters
were genetically connected to unique
anthrax spores that Ivins had devel-
oped and maintained in his laboratory
at USAMRIID. Ivins killed himself in
2008 and was never formally charged
with the crime, but in 2011 a panel
of scientific experts assembled by
the National Academy of Sciences, at
the request of the FBI, independently
evaluated the Bureaus genetic analysis of the anthrax spores and determined the evidence put forth by FBI
investigators was insufficient to prove
that Ivins was the culprit that his
work facilities at USAMRIID did not
contain the equipment to render powdered anthrax from liquid forms at the

KNEA, endorsee Sharice Davids
mum on how NEA resolutions against
Israel help teachers to help students
BY DANE HICKS
Garnett volunteer firemen Austin Kellerman and Troy Armstrong work to
extinguish a camper fire at the Travis Barnett residence on Westgate Road

material nearby. The trailer was fully engulfed and mostly destroyed by the
time fighters received the call.
CELEBRATING 100
Richmond Fair will notch
its 100th edition this week,
and remembers beginnings
BY PAT VINING
RICHMOND FAIR CORRESPONDENT
In 1925 Calvin Coolidge was
US President and the first Winter
Olympics were held in France.
In Richmond, Quin Kirkland promoted re-starting the local fair, which
came to fruition with lots of community support.
Now, 100 years later in Richmond,
the Free Fair is celebrating its 100th
consecutive fair and depends even
more on community/area support.
From the time the first exhibits
are entered at 9 am Thursday until
the last persons leave the fairgrounds
Saturday night, there will be a bit
more excitement than usual, as everyone will be a part of something that
has continued for 100 years. Each 4-H
exhibitor will receive an anniversary
t-shirt, thanks to Patriots Bank and
Goppert State Service Bank.
Members of 4-H and FFA count
on the Richmond Fair as their first
chance to have their projects in competition and see how they place. That
first experience showing is extremely
valuable.
And this year will be no different,
as exhibitors are expected to come
from six counties and a few states.
The record year was 2018 when there
were 709 entries from 140 exhibitors.
What these young people wont
realize is how the fair has evolved
over the years. There had been one or
two days picnics or fairs before 1916,
when a drought cancelled the event
and it wasnt picked up the next year.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
PHILADELPHIA Top officials in the Kansas
National Education Association teachers union
and its endorsed Congresswoman Sharice Davids
are keeping quiet about a plan by the national
NEA that may accuse Israel of genocide at a meeting in Philadelphia this week.
The National Review reported Wednesday on documents
it obtained that revealed the
NEA, which claims to represent
3 million teachers nationwide,
will vote on several anti-Israel resolutions at the unions
Representative Assembly in
Philadelphia which began July
Davids
4th. That agenda includes the
adoption of an official position
holding that Israel is conducting a genocide in
Gaza and that opposing the Jewish states existence is not anti-Semitic.
NEA endorses Davids, who represents the 3rd
Congressional District in Kansas, composed of
Anderson, Franklin, Miami, Johnson and part of
Wyandotte counties.
Kansas NEA is one of 50 NEA affiliates in the
United States. KNEA celebrated its 160th anniversary last year. In a Topeka Capital Journal article
in 2013 the state organization claimed to have
25,000 members across Kansas, but the organizations website does not cite current membership.

Court to meet to schedule
preliminary hearing in
Richmond infant murder case
BY DANE HICKS
The Richmond Municipal Band marching in the 1947 parade.
Quin Kirkland is credited with
starting the fair that has now run
for 100 years (and much appreciation
to Sr. Loretta Roeckers who keeps
detailed fair records).
The person who was a constant
in fair leadership and was called
Mr. Richmond Fair was John H.
Roeckers who was associated with the
fair for 56 years, being secretary for 53
years. He knew everything that needed to get done and how to do it. Mr.
Roeckers was posthumously inducted
into the Kansas Fair Assn. Hall of
Fame in 1990.
As the Roeckers children were old
enough, they helped in many ways.

Loretta Roeckers remember they

Former grand marshals to open
fairs 100th installment
BY PAT VINING
RICHMOND FAIR CORRESPONDENT
RICHMOND With due pomp and circumstance, the Richmond
Fair celebrates its 100th edition Thursday thru Saturday, July
11th-13th. You dont want to miss being a part of this special fair!
Here are some highlights from the fair book:
The Grand Marshals from 1993-2024 are listed on page 3. Many
of these persons are deceased, but those who are not are asked
to ride in their own vehicle in the parade, with a sign with your
name and year honored, if possible. Meet in front of the Catholic
Church at 5:15 on Saturday.
The book includes eight pages of In Memory, recognizing
numerous persons who have contributed to the fair in past years.
The success of the fair has been because of these and many others gifts of time and skills to make the fair possible.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
OTTAWA Prosecutors and defense attorneys for
a man accused of the murder of his infant son in
Richmond last winter will meet in late August in
preparation for a preliminary hearing in the case.
Twenty-four year-old Jason Marnell was arrested February 14 and is accused in
the death of his son, Waylon S.
Marnell, after an investigation
into injuries the boy received
in an incident reported January
14 that resulted in his death two
weeks later.
A preliminary hearing is held
to review initial evidence and
testimony in a case to determine
Marnell
whether cause exists to arraign
an accused person and set a trial
on charges. Marnell faces charges of first degree
murder and abuse of a child.
Franklin County Sheriffs deputies responded
to a medical call on January 14th at a Richmond
residence and upon arrival found the infant unresponsive. Life-saving measures were attempted and the baby was transported to an Ottawa
Hospital and later transferred to Childrens Mercy
Hospital in Kansas City in critical condition. KBI
officers were asked to assist in the investigation

Guest pastor Alex Cochrane
talked about the church of
Laodicea in Revelations.
Laodicea was extremely
wealthy and economically
successful so they didn't need
God. It made them lukewarm
in God's eyes and he spit them
out. Churches need to be on fire
for God, dependent on Him for
all their needs, and thankful for
what He provides everyday.

In a January 16th Facebook
post, the childs mother, Marie
Leitner, recounted to friends
that Waylon had choked on
milk when she was away and
aspirated into his lung, at
which time Marnell allegedly
started CPR before a deputy
took over the process upon
his arrival. Leitner said she
then arrived at the home but
the child had apparently been
some 20 minutes without oxygen to the brain.
This isnt the life I wanted for my son, Leitner said
in a GoFundMe post to raise
money for the childs burial.
Its no life at all. Hes just a
baby, he didnt deserve this. I
never thought I would be saying goodbye to my newborn let
alone planning his funeral and
having to bury him at such a
young age.

God needs people of vision
In the Bible there were two
men who did not face death,
Enoch and Elijah. We read the
account of Enoch in Genesis
5:24, Enoch walked with God,
then he was no more, because
God took him away. We read
the account of Elijah in 2 Kings
2:11-12, As they (Elijah and
Elisha) were walking along and
talking together, suddenly a
chariot of fire and horses of fire
appeared and separated the two
of them, and Elijah went up to
heaven in a whirlwind. What
was it God saw in these men
that caused him to take them
straight to heaven? We are
told concerning Enoch that he
walked with God for 300 years.
Imagine being Enoch and being
that close to God every day. In
Old Testament times we have
seen how God manifested himself to individuals but Enoch
was a special case. One can
only imagine the secrets Enoch
knew concerning the times
ahead. God worked through
Elijah to accomplish his will. A
completely different approach
than the one he had with
Enoch. Yet the result was God
was pleased with both these
men and as a result took them
to be with him.
God works through people
who have vision because they
are able to take a situation or
circumstance and see a conclu-

sion and they are not afraid to
complete a task God gives them.
There is a difference between
having sight and having vision.
When there is no vision the
situation lives and dies with
that person. God reveals things
to people of vision. The difference between people of vision
and other people is people of
vision use that vision to get
their focus toward God rather
than on themselves.
Paul addresses this in 1 Cor.
1:27-29 when he says, But God
chose the foolish things of the
world to shame the wise: God
chose the weak things of the
world to shame the strong. He
chose the lowly things of this
world and the despised thingsand the things that are not- to
nullify things that are, so no
one may boast before him. Be
assured of this. If you are willing to please God he will provide everything you need to be
successful. He will build your
vision for you.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, July 9, 2024
OPINION
Moderate Kelly backs Biden disaster
Famed moderate Kansas Governor Laura
Kelly further confirmed her middle of the road
political ideology last week, throwing her full
and unwavering support behind the president
who brought you $8 bags of potato chips, and she
still had time to give an appreciative pat on the
head to the dog who fetched her stick in the 2022
Kansas Governors race.
One might think the implosion of the Biden
Administration after the Presidents Waterlooesque debate with Donald Trump and the revelation of the grand lie of his competency thats
been perpetrated on the American people by the
liberal media would give pause to a governor so
rooted in dispassionate objectivity. A balanced
review of the facts which has been so illuminating to the rest of the country and the world
would logically bring a conscientious reevaluation of Americas current political scenario to
such a moderate observer.
Of course thats assuming one has been blind
to the conspicuous evidence of disaster thus
far massive price increases for groceries and
consumer goods since Biden and congressional
Democrats blow-out, Covid-excused spending
spree; the evaporation of the nations southern border for the purposes of restocking the
Democrat electorate; the elevation of deviant
sexuality to a place of national prominence,
including the biologically ridiculous assertion
that gender is an imaginary choice and that fairness dictates boys should be able to compete in
girls sports.
Those arent the only signals of moral
and directional destitution, but they should
be the easiest to ascertain for someone like
Kelly, who prizes such a neutral and temperate
analysis of fact in her politics. Her balanced
assessment brought her to the conclusion that
the Presidents record of delivering bipartisan
results speaks for itself.
And by all accounts, she said it with a straight
face.
Of course Kansas has seen that Kellys assertion of her political neutrality has been nearly as
big a lie as the cloak thrown over Bidens debilitating mental incompetence and his striking policy failures. The Kansas medias reluctance to
execute a Brownbackian level critique of Kellys
performance is certainly as scandalous. While
the largest tax increase in Kansas history from
2015 drained the household incomes of Kansas
families and fattened the states coffers, Kelly
vetoed 11 bills aimed to provide relief to those
who were funding the surplus. Even as Bidens
poor management of the country resulted in
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
skyrocketing prices for gasoline and consumer
goods and put first-time home mortgages out of
reach, Kelly continued to deny common sense
submissions from Kansas legislators that would
have allowed Kansas taxpayers to keep more of
their own money.
It was all rooted in Kellys vindictiveness for
the Republican-dominated legislatures denial
of her Holy Grail Medicaid Expansion which
if granted would have acknowledged Kellys
reputation as a good soldier in the progressive
mission to massively expand government and
justify future public finance conscription by
Washington, D.C. Kelly kept up the ruse, unfettered by any critique from most all Kansas
media, until election year pressure forced her to
relent in the interest of supporting Democrats
attempting to retain their seats this fall in the
state legislature.
Kellys Ace in the Hole was of course Hiawatha
State Senator Dennis Pyle, who at one time purported to be a Republican before sabotaging his
supposed partys effort to wrest control of the
governors office from Kelly in the 2022 election
as an Independent candidate seeking the office.
In perhaps his most Shakespearean moment of
hypocrisy, Pyle once made a campaign declaration that Republican Party candidate Derek
Schmidt and Kelly were two peas in a pod.
The irony of his analysis was like a Fourth
of July fireworks display last week in Holton,
where Kelly went out of her way to honor Pyle
at a ceremonial acknowledgment of his sellout
not just of Republicans but of Kansas taxpayers
as a whole. Kelly lauded Pyle as an accomplice in
her past obstructionism. With two Republicans
running against Pyle in next months primary
and no Democrat filed in that race, Republicans

Dems attack high court on path to authortarianism
I write this today with compassion and concern welling up within me: Liberal leaders in
politics and their misleaders in the media seem
to be in the throes of an unbreakable, feverish
distemper that threatens the very existence of
this republic.
What appears to be a rabid, insatiable lust
for power is driving the far-left to whip up blind
rage among its followers, and to censor, sue and
imprison its opponents and now to suggest
impeaching judges and imploding institutions
that stand in its way.
All, quite perversely, in the name of saving
democracy.
America isnt perfect. But its the best, freest, most welcoming place on Earth. Yet, the
left carries on as if the nation is irredeemably
malevolent and its institutions must be burned
to the ground for something pure a collectivist
utopia as yet unprecedented in human history
to rise from the ashes.

U.S. Supreme Court was letting Donald Trump
off its legal meat hooks, with a reasonable, necessary decision protecting all presidents from

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York,
railed ignorantly, Todays ruling represents
an assault on American democracy. It is up to
Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture. I intend on filing articles of
impeachment upon our return.
In actuality, the courts exist precisely to prevent authoritarian capture. And any cool and
coherent mind knows that threatening a court
with impeachment because it doesnt rule the
way you like is, itself, the very definition of a
threat to democracy.
Then, most ominously, the president used his
positions primetime powers Monday night to
issue a full-frontal assault on the credibility and
independence of the judiciary because he disagrees with its ruling against his political rival.
Thats the stuff of banana republics.
Bidens loathsome rant is even more dangerous and reprehensible than it is shameless and

Smiths window to hang Trump with J6 case is closing
No matter how favorable the presidential
race has looked for Donald Trump, theres
always been the possibility that Special Counsel
Jack Smith would get to trial with his Jan. 6
case before the election and, at the very least,
dominate the news cycle for weeks and, in all
likelihood, convict Trump in a case involving
more serious matters than hush money to a porn
star.
Now that President Joe Biden stumbled so
badly in the first presidential debate, lawfare
is more important than ever to Democrats, but
Jack Smiths J6 case is hanging by a thread.
Democrats blame the Supreme Court, which
has undercut Smith in two new decisions. In the
belief that what the situation requires is a futile
and stupid gesture, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
says shes going to file articles of impeachment
against conservative justices.
Yet, it is Smith who has forced novel and sensitive legal issues to the fore. The Biden Justice
Department and Democrats may believe that its
the role of the Supreme Court to expedite a politically motivated, legally dubious prosecution of
a major-party presidential candidate prior to a
national election, but its not.
Because what Smith is doing is unprecedented, it has raised questions that havent been
answered before –such as, you know, whether
a former president of the United States can be
prosecuted at all.
If the Biden Justice Department wanted such
questions decided well before the 2024 election,
it needed to indict Trump earlier than August
2023.
As it is, Jack Smith has been in a race against
the clock because the political usefulness of his
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
prosecution disappears after Election Day 2024,
and if Trump wins, the prosecution itself goes
away. This means that Smith, against Justice
Department guidelines, is conducting his prosecution on a political timetable.
The Supreme Court just made Smiths hope to
get the case to a jury sometime soon much harder by concluding that presidents have immunity
for their official acts, and some of the Jan. 6
charges, indeed, involve official acts. The obvious play for Jack Smith would be to strip his
case down to charges involving private acts,
such as the so-called fake electors scheme. Since
the Supreme Court majority said even that isnt
clear-cut, though, the way would be open for
Trump to appeal — with its attendant delays –an
even more minimal case.
The majority opinion, written by Chief
Justice John Roberts, is not unassailable, but
neither is it wildly unreasonable or going to
lead to future presidents droning their political
opponents with impunity.
Meanwhile, two of Smiths charges rely on a
provision passed as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act after the 2001 Enron scandal that doesnt
obviously have applicability to the events of
Jan. 6. Last week, a majority of the Supreme
Court — in a decision joined by Justice Ketanji
Brown Jackson, by the way — adopted a narrow
reading of the law, further complicating Smiths
task.
It would be better if these matters of law were
being decided as abstract questions without
knowing who will be affected one way or the
other before a national election, but Jack Smith
has made that impossible. A more modest prosecutor never would have gotten himself or the
country in this fix.
It is very fitting that Smiths appointment as
special counsel may itself be constitutionally
defective, and is under serious challenge in
the classified documents case he is pursuing in
Florida.
By rights, he should go away. Smith represents the worst tendency of the law-enforcement and national-security establishment since
Trumps rise to prominence in 2016. The basic
idea has been that its OK to stretch or break
norms as long as its in the cause of opposing
Trump. Showing remarkably poor judgment,
Smith assumed that everyone, including the
Supreme Court of the United States, would go
along.
Now that it hasnt, hes poorly positioned to
assist Joe Biden when he needs it most.

ages. Why doesnt Garnett have a Pickleball
court? It would be a lot better for people and a
lot more used than a skate board park.
Maybe when we get a new zoning man in
Garnett we can get moving on a tax sale in this
town. I see more and more decrepit houses and
buildings that need to be taken over by somebody who will rehabilitate them before they
become such a public nuisance that all that can
be done is to have it torn down. What happened
to the big plan for Denises Restaurant building
on the south side? City had to jump through all
kinds of hoops to keep from tearing that one
down so a local businessman could have it for
basically no money, and hes done absolutely
nothing with it. Lots of houses around town in
the same shape. I do appreciate the people that
are taking some of those houses and putting the
money back into them to make them habitable
again. Good for you men. Someone needs to
invest in this town because nobody who lives
here seems to want to do it.
Are you kidding me? Are there actually people
in this country who are stupid enough to actually want Kamala Harris to be president? What
on earth is wrong with you people? I cant think
of anyone else with exception of maybe Whoopie
Goldberg who has less business being president.

[T]he Democrats have
become the very threat that the
court was meant to resist.
All this, after having tried
to frame Trump as a Russian
asset and then launching a
multiyear, multimillion-dollar sham investigation of
what turns out to be their own
handiwork; then the paperthin impeachments; then the
intelligence communitys lie
that the Hunter Biden laptop
was Russian disinformation
in order to protect President
Biden just before the 2020 election; and now all the criminal
and civil cases having materialized after Trump filed to run
again.
What wont the left do to
consolidate its control over
the government? What wont it
do to our country in its rabid,
single-minded pursuit of a
one-party state which, elsewhere in the world, is known
as communism and despotism?
All I know to do other than
write plaintive warnings about
the existential crisis the left
is igniting, and to perform my
own individual civic duties is
to pray. Hard.
I implore all Christians and
conservatives: Pray fervently
for our country, and for any
of our liberal friends who are
being unduly and treacherously misled, at high velocity,
toward rank authoritarianism
the likes of which we have
only witnessed from afar.

OPEN
FOR
is reminding motorists that
summer travel is where the
rubber meets the road when it
comes to tire maintenance.
With July expected to be a
busy time for summer road
trips, AAA is taking the opportunity during National Tire
Safety Week June 24 through
July 3 to remind drivers to
inspect their tires before hitting the highway. As of June
17, AAA emergency roadside
service has responded to more
than 5,400 calls for tire issues
in Kansas this year alone, making it the third most common
reason motorists request roadside assistance.
Summers heat is
hard on tires
While winters cold temperatures can make it more difficult
for tires to grip the road, summer brings its own challenges
to your vehicles tires, leading
to potential performance and
safety problems. The suns
heat, combined with normal
friction from the roads surface, can take its toll, causing
tires to wear irregularly, wear
out faster and be more prone to
blowouts.
Hot pavement can lead to
rubber degradation, increasing
the potential for cracking, belt
separation and tread irregularities. Heat can also cause
dry-rot, or sidewall cracking,
which occurs when the oils in
the tire's rubber evaporate. Dry
tires are more susceptible to
cracking and blowouts.
Summers soaring temperatures also affect tire pressure,
one of the most important
aspects of tire safety. Proper
pressure for your tires is based
on your tires when cool. For
every 10-degree increase in
temperature, tires can gain 1 to
2 pounds per square inch (PSI)
of pressure. Overinflated tires
not only wear prematurely, but
are more prone to blowouts.
Traction is reduced, increasing
the risk of skidding. If tires are
underinflated, however, friction can increase, raising temperatures within the tire and
making a blowout more likely.
Worn tires take a heavy toll
Driving on worn tires
increases the likelihood of a
vehicle crash due to the impact
on vehicle maneuverability
and braking. Summer heat and
rainy weather can compound
the problem.
Research from AAA reveals
that driving on worn tires at
highway speeds in wet conditions can increase average
stopping distances by a staggering 43 percent, or an addi-
when compared to new tires.
With nearly 800,000 crashes
occurring on wet roads each
year and Americans now holding on to their cars longer than
ever before, this is cause for
concern.
AAAs research also shows
that in addition to increased
stopping distance, worn tires
reduce handling ability by
about 30%. Well-maintained
tires are the best defense
against tire-related crashes,
Steward said.
According to the National
Highway
Traffic
Safety
Administration
(NHTSA),
there are nearly 11,000 tire-related motor vehicle crashes
nationwide on average every
year, resulting in about 600
deaths. Tires were listed as a
contributing circumstance in
350 traffic crashes in Kansas in
2022, according to the Kansas
Department of Transportation.
Inspect tires at least monthly
AAA recommends motorists get into a routine of checking their tires on a monthly
basis, not only as an important
safety step but to protect their
investment. If potholes and
road debris are a common hazard or drivers routinely drive
long distances, tires should be
inspected even more frequently.
The more frequently these
inspections are performed, the
easier it will be to find a small
problem, such as a nail in your
tire, and have it fixed before it
becomes a safety risk or a more
expensive fix, Steward added.
The vehicle owners manual
or the decal attached to the
drivers door jamb will provide
you with the proper pressure
for each of your vehicles tires.
Use a tire gauge or the displayed tire pressures in the
vehicles instrument cluster
toWashington Quarter tread
test.png determine when tire
pressure needs correcting rather than relying solely on the
vehicles tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which may
only illuminate when tires are
severely underinflated.
Good tire tread helps vehicles maintain traction with the
road surface and shed water on
wet roads. Check tread with a
simple tread depth gauge available at any auto parts store
or use the George Washington
quarter test. Slip an upsidedown quarter between your
tire grooves, then look at
Washingtons head. If you can
see all of it, its time to start
shopping for new tires.
How to identify common
involve checking tire pressure,
as well as conducting a visual inspection of all four tires.
Follow the owners manual to
schedule regular tire rotation
and balance and alignment at a
AAA-approved car care center.
Here are the most common tire
problems to look for during a
visual inspection:
Over inflation: Too much
air pressure causes the tires
middle section to be the primary point of contact with the
road, causing it to wear faster
than the edges.
Under inflation: Inadequate
pressure causes the tires outer
edges to be the main point of
contact with the road, causing
it to wear more quickly than
the middle area.
Tread wear on one edge of
the tire: This typically signals
that the wheels are out of alignment.
Erratic tread wear: This is
often called cupping and may
mean the wheel is out of balance. It can also occur when
shock absorbers or other suspension components need to be
replaced.
Bubble or bulge: A bubble
or bulge that forms on the tire
sidewall or tread indicates one
of the belts inside the tire has
separated from those around
it. Replace the tire as soon as
Cosmetic damage can usually
be ignored, unless accompanied by a bubble or bulge. If
cords of the tire are exposed
and damaged, have the tire
replaced.
While on the road, these
changes in your vehicle may
indicate a tire problem:
Unusual vibration or
thumping noise: Vibration or
thumping noises can indicate
a number of issues, including a
flat tire, an out-of-balance tire,
a flat spot on the tread or a tire
with a separated belt.
Pulling to one side: Pulling
to one side while driving at a
steady speed may indicate an
underinflated or damaged tire
on that side. The pull could also
be caused by poor wheel alignment or a brake problem.
What to do in the event
of a blowout
Maintain vehicle speed if
possible and if its safe to do so.
Gradually let up on the accelerator.
Correct the steering as
needed to stabilize your vehicle and regain control. Look
in the direction you want the
vehicle to go and steer in that
direction.
Once your vehicle is stabilized, continue to slow down
and pull off the road where its
safe to do so.

HISTORY…
FROM PAGE 1
but two who especially need
to be mentioned are Virginia
Cunningham
and
Alma
Wagner, both long-time leaders
of Berea Boosters 4-H Club
The best way to learn how
the fair has changed in 100
years is to read the fair books.
Although there was not a book
in 1925, there is a poster in
poor condition and a photo of
that poster is in the Richmond
Museum. One can make out
some of the print, such as the
classes for horses and mules to
be judged.
No doubt the most obvious
difference is that now there are
no tents. There were tents for
everything except exhibits that
were in the school gymnasium.
According to a story about the
fair tents by Dennis Peters on
the Museums Facebook, the
last year for tents was 1972.
Several events have come
and gone, such as the Capper
Corn Sweepstakes which ran
from 1930-58. The first first to
keep the traveling trophy was
Frank Rezenberger and the last
was Don Lickteig. See a list of
all the winners at the Museum.
Numerous other events
have had their time to shine, as
horse pulling contests which
drew big crowds. Later, tractor
pulls were popular for several
years. Now, its time for old
tractors to have their turn.
In the top years of Berea
Boosters 4-H Club, the roll call
was 40-45 members and it wasnt
unusual to have 20-25 baby
beeves shown by club members, including the Morgan,
Poss, Chandler, Dunbar and
other families.
Now there are numerous
fourth generation 4-H families
with entries.
A few are Ferguson, Cubit,
Dunbar, Peters, Rockers-Sobba,
Lickteig-Chandler-Cannady,
and no doubt several others.
If you are a fourth generation
4-H family, please stop by the
Museum and tell someone so
there can be a more complete
list.
There were baby contests for
many years, but these ended in
1993, beard growing contests
a couple of times, one for the
states centennial in 1961, and
numerous other special events.
Steve Hoelscher led the
parade on his handsome horse,
followed by the Richmond
Municipal Band, which was
musicians of all ages who
played at outdoor concerts and
at the fair.
Bob Gault always had
Shetland ponies and later
Marvin Vallier and Albert
Dunbar had wagons and ponies
in the parade, as did others.
Building a handsome float
was a goal for many organizations, and the results were
often spectacular. For many
years, lots and lots of crepe
paper was used to get beautiful
results.
For beauty, you couldnt beat
the elaborate flower displays
overseen by Elsie Gault for 32
years. These were in the old
gym at the school and the new
gym held many other entries.
The big tent was used for commercial booths until the gyms
were no longer available.
There were lovely young
women in a fair queen contest
for the Silver Anniversary in
1949. Later, Donna Poss was
Jr. Queen and Harriet Johnson
Sr. Queen, and in 1974. For the
Golden Anniversary, Marcia
Poss was Jr. Queen and Mae
McLees Sr. Queen.
The first ride at an early fair
was a merry-go-round and later
a full carnival went to fairs in
the area, with the last carnival
being in 2007.

There was an unforgettable
program by the Rockettes in
1977, a car show for several
years, horsemanship training
by George Steinberger, and
who can forget the Lions Club
five-gallon ice cream freezer?
In 1948, postcards about the
fair were sent that featured Ed
Horstick and his 1947 grand
champion steer.
For several years dances in
the community building and
later, street dances were major
fund-raisers.
Kids had a great time in
the Greased Pig and Mutton
Bustin contests for some years,
and men had the same pitching
horseshoes or showing their
antique cars.
Larry Cox is remembered
for showing livestock but also
for his 1950 Co-op tractor that
was purchased at Richmond
Co-op.
The Grand Parade has
always drawn a big crowd and
has featured so many unusual
pieces, its impossible to summarize the parades.
Since 1993, parade marshals
have been named, but even
earlier, the parade was dedicated to all military, veterans
and active members; to John
H. Roeckers in 1983, Charles
Edwards in 1985, Elsie (Crick)
Welsh in 1987, Leo Peine in
1996, and Albert Dunbar and
Frank Cox in 1997.
Picking up with marshals
again in 1993, they were Loyd
and Frieda Peters since Pete
was retiring after being fair
announcer for 30 plus years.
This was continued by his son,
Dennis, for about 30 years,
assisted by his daughter, Pam,
for 20 years.
Refer to this years fair book
for a list of grand marshals
since 1993.
A military Color Guard
always leads the parade, followed by floats and all kinds
of vehicles. Fair-goers have
seen Senator Capper and Gov.
Carlson in 1949, Gov. and Mrs.
Docking in 1957, TV fisherman
Harold Ensley, area politicians
and numerous other personalities. Theres been the Santa Fe
miniature train, Albert Dunbar
re-enacting his grandfather,
Leander, who carried mail on
horseback in 1867, bearded
men, and women dressed for
the Kansas Centennial, and residents of the health care center
having a great time.
Probably
the
biggest
improvement was in 2016 when
QSI furnished a new barn and
show arena which had been
badly needed for years. There
were many other donations to
furnish electricity, seating, and
3×5
Miami Co Guide
much more.
The next year QSI added to
the barn so it is 60X80 and has
an announcers box.
The livestock entries, which
are by far the biggest part of
the fair, now have excellent
facilities and everything runs
smoothly, no matter the weather.
Gone are the days when
Coleen (Lickteig) Hurley and
her sister, Joan Rockers, went
to the Co-op to choose the pattern of chicken feed sacks they
used to make their first sewing
projects, a towel and an apron.
Since then Coleen has helped
with fair secretarial duties for
years, and Joan completed
the Master Foods training and
been a foods judge for years.
Many 4-H and FFA members
have built on their fair experiences to help them in college
and careers, taking the skills
they learned through friendly competition to places they
never dreamed of when they
were showing their first cookies, rabbit, calf, or whatever it
was.
And thats just one reason
why, with spirit and countless
hours of volunteerism, the
Richmond Free Fair has continued for 100 years!

A link to the Representative
Assembly from the KNEA site
was not functional Thursday.
A meeting agenda was
not available to the Kansas
Informer on the Representative
Assembly website and was
restricted to NEA members
only. The Informer emailed
Kansas NEA president Sherri
Schwanz and communications
director Marcus Baltzell to
determine if Kansas delegates
to the meeting would support
the anti-Israel motions. We also
contacted the office of Kansas
3rd District Congresswoman
Sharice Davids, who has the
regular endorsement of NEA.
As of this post we have received
no replies.
CNN reported two rallies
were held Wednesday outside
the Pennsylvania Convention
Center, one by the Educators
for Palestine group which
is made up of NEA members and a counter rally by
StandWithUs, a nonprofit
pro-Israel advocacy organization. Although the proposed
agenda items are typically confidential before being
voted on at the Representative
Assembly, Educators for
Palestine have outlined several
in their call to vote yes. CNN
said it has not seen the proposed agenda items, and the
NEA did not respond to the networks request for information
regarding the Israel-related
reolutions.
Zach Kessel, writing for
The National Review, said two
items on the meeting agenda
would have the NEA use existing digital communication
tools to educate members about
the difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism.
Kessels article said the resolutions claim that the two are
often erroneously conflated,
characterizing antisemitism as
bias or action against Jewish
people in one document and
a certain perception of Jews,
which may be expressed as
hatred toward Jews in another. Union members describe
anti-Zionism as a political
stance in the first resolution
and the opposition to any
Jewish state in the Middle
East which entails opposing
the existence of the modern
state of Israel.
The NR story said in order
for an item of business to reach
the floor, it must be sponsored
by at least 50 of the 6,000 delegates present at the convention. If passed, the resolutions
direct the NEA to abide by
their provisions for a year, provided that the resolution does
not violate existing NEA policy.
Multiple resolutions set to
be discussed at the assembly

resources to promote efforts to

Outside of personal vendettas

Michael Varacelli, an FBI special agent, told Slate in the 2012

ry of the U.S. Supreme Courts
overturning of the Roe v. Wade
abortion decision, which forced
the federal government to step
out of abortion legislation and
remanded those legal decisions
to the individual states. That
move by the court only came
after Trump appointed three
conservative justices to the
high court during his term.
The ruling inflamed the
American political left, and
preceded by only months the
failure of a Constitutional
Amendment vote in Kansas
that would have specified the
states founding document contained no implicit right held by
a woman to kill her fetus.
Kansas
Bureau
of
Investigation Director Tony
Mavity said at the time that
though the powder was inert, it
was still a danger to the public
because it directed law enforcement officials away from real
investigations. He said the KBI
spent four full days working the
investigation last year before it
was turned over to the FBI.

Catch up with Kansas Corn
at a Summer Listening
Tour Dinner in August
Kansas corn farmers are
invited to Kansas Corns
Summer Listening Tour, hosting dinners in four Kansas communities in August.
The 2024 Kansas Corn
Summer Listening Tour will
be in Garnett on Thursday,
August 8th. Registration begins
at 5:30 p.m., with dinner beginning at 6 p.m.
Kansas Corn leaders and
staff will focus on discussion
around the issues that matter
to corn growers, and getting
feedback from participants.
Growers can connect with
Kansas Corn in Garnett, Iuka,
Oberlin and Wamego. This is
the ninth year of the popular
listening tour dinners hosted
by the Kansas Corn Growers
Association and Kansas Corn
Commission.
The focus of the Summer
Listening Tour is the hear from
corn farmers across the state,
said Kansas Corns Director of
Grower Services and Market
Development. This is a great
opportunity for corn growers
to network with other growers, industry representatives
and Kansas Corn leaders and
staff. The information gathered
at the Summer Listening Tour
carry weight when our boards
consider corn issues and programs.
At each dinner, a panel of
local farmers and Kansas Corn
leaders will discuss key topics
including new on-farm technologies, the upcoming Farm Bill,
ethanol efforts and commission-funded programs in the
areas of market development,
education, research and promotion. The goal of each stop is to
get feedback from corn growers.

Growing recognition
Glenn Brunkow, Pottawatomie
County farmer and rancher
Farmers and ranchers in
Kansas are amazing people.
Yes, I am tooting our own
horn, but we deserve it. We
are hard-working and all too
humble people, and the work
we do is something our fellow
humans literally cannot live
without. We grow food.
I say all of this because my
colleagues in agriculture will
not. I know they are too busy
working long hours doing their
job, including working up to
seven days a week. We wait for
someone else to acknowledge
our good work, and that is an
admirable trait. So, I am going
to say it for all of us.
Just look at the last five
years. We have survived some
of the worst weather and
drought in recorded history, a
pandemic, supply chain disruptions, increased costs for everything and high interest rates,
and we are still here. What is
more, we are producing more
food, using fewer inputs and
less land all while protecting
the air, soil and water around
us.
Our jobs will get harder in
the upcoming years because
we will need to produce even
more food more food than we
have ever produced in history.
We will also be asked to do it
with less land all while improving the natural resources with
which we are entrusted. That is
a heavy lift.
Do you know what? We will
do it, and we will do it better
than anyone can even imagine.
Farmers and ranchers have
stepped up and met every challenge thrown our way. We are
asked to do the impossible, and
